Exploring the past is most

effective with visuals and

the LA Vintage Machinery

Club has no shortage of interest-

ing things to see.

There is everything on the

premises from vintage tractors,

handmade machines and station-

ary engines, to row upon row of

various farm machines, accom-

panied by a small but bursting

museum full of farm antiques.

Doug Fawcett is one of two orig-

inal founding members that are

still part of the group. He resides

in Lacombe and watches over the

Lacombe Agricultural Grounds

adjacent to the Club grounds, so

a lot of his time is spent on site.

“There are a lot of different

aspects to vintage farm machin-

ery – it’s not all just tractors.

There are stationary engines,

sawmills, threshers and we have

some trucks. Some are common,

and some are rare. For example,

we have a double dump-rake from

Winnipeg that was only made for

two or three years,” said Fawcett.

“I grew up with all of this stuff

– I suppose it’s nostalgic. A lot of

this equipment I had for myself

and farmed with them growing

up.”

An interesting fact about the

Club is that it is a registered

non-profi t organization, to which

charitable donations can be

made. Membership fees, $20, all

go towards preserving goods and

maintaining land use. All of the

buildings on site were built with

money that was donated by the

public or put forth by members

of the Club.

The mandate of the Club is to

fi nd, restore, collect and display

vintage farm machinery. The

types of machines and devices on

site include stump-pullers, culti-

vators, ploughs, rotavators, grain

augers, threshing machines and

stationary engines.

In addition to both a massive

shed and a fi eld full of machines,

there is an extensive collection

of antique tools, books and goods

that would have been popular on

a historic farm. The items are

housed in a small museum that

Fawcett said is his favourite part

of the Club.

Within the museum there are

old tools for farming, a vintage

fridge with an ice-box, an origi-

nal immigrant trunk, vintage

clothing, assorted and neatly dis-

played types of grains, vintage

bottles and canisters. There are

also tools such as axes, wrenches,

vintage camera and hundreds of

books.

“I really enjoy the comradery

of the group and the challenge of

fi nding the parts. We have a net-

work of people all the way across

from B.C to Saskatchewan so we

just put out the word that we need

this or we need that and it’s not

often we’re stumped,” said Faw-

cett.

The majority of the machines

on site are in working order and

are displayed annually in a show

and an open house once a year

during the Culture & Harvest

Festival. The Club also hosts spe-

cial machine demos and displays

during Lacombe Days.

“We have a show every year,

and it’s the third weekend in June

– always Father’s Day weekend.

We had an open house on the 28th

of September to go with the Har-

vest Festival. We had a lot of stuff

out on display.”

Fawcett recently helped to re-

store a 1904 wood-framed, hand-

fed threshing machine. He and

several other members of the

group took apart the ancient ma-

chine, measured, cut and rebuilt

from the ground up.

“Sometimes, one person will

take on a project and we’ll all end

up working on it. We’re some-

times even working on four proj-

ects at once. We have a full line-

up of tools – we can fi x anything.

There’s the odd time that we do

need a part. Usually though, we

can fi x things with what we’ve

got here.”

None of the members are me-

chanics, but with the extensive

collection of tools in the garage,

most jobs aren’t a problem. The

vintage machines aren’t just out-

side of the shop either. For ex-

ample, an 1870 lathe is still used

in the shop to shape metal.

Many of the projects are donat-

ed to the Club. A number of the

members have either purchased

or lent their machines to the

Club so that they can be restored,

cared for and displayed.

The Club actually started out

as a tractor-pulling club. Tractor-

pulling is an event where differ-

ent weight classes of tractors

face off in trying to pull a large

weight-transfer sled. Now, the

old pulling sled built by Fawcett’s

cousin still remains on site.

The Club operates with very

little funding and so member-

ships and donations are key to

keeping it alive. Members receive

a newsletter each month that lets

them know the fi nance situation,

if parts are needed, upcoming

events and if they are looking for

any particular machine.

“Originally, when we started,

some of us members put money

into the Club to get going. We put

all these buildings up ourselves

and without any grant money

from the government or any-

thing,” explained Fawcett.

“We rely on our income from

our show and the lottery funding

from the casinos that we work.

But those casinos are about 30

months apart, so we have to make

the money last.

“We use the casino money

mostly for capital projects – this

year we put a lean-to on the big

shed and made more storage for

our tractors.”

The Club is located by the La-

combe Agricultural Grounds, on

the corner of 58th St., south and

C&E trail. Call ahead to assure

someone is there or to arrange a

visit.

On Oct. 25th, Central Alberta Youth Un-

limited held its annual dessert and comedy

night fundraiser. Executive Director Jake

Schellenberg said the event was well-re-

ceived and pulled in about $25,000 in fun-

draising.

Youth Unlimited has been doing the des-

sert and comedy nights fundraiser for the

last eight years or so, said Schellenberg.

Before that, the organization had more of

a banquet gala style fundraiser.

He said Youth Unlimited has three fun-

draisers throughout the year including

the comedy and dessert night. The other

two are the Lacombe Half-Marathon and a

charity golf tournament held in May.

Central Alberta Youth Unlimited is a

not-for-profi t group based here in Lacombe

that works on improving the lives of young

people. Schellenberg said their mission is

aptly summed up in the organization mot-

to, ‘We see the hope and potential in every

young person.’

“Today is the hardest day and age to

grow up in, right?” said Schellenberg. “So

we just want to be there for kids. Help them

through the tough times and inspire them

to live a life of purpose.”

Eighty-one per cent of Central Alberta

Youth Unlimited’s funding is through in-

dividual donors and donations from fund-

raisers like Saturday’s. Schellenberg said

the monies raised Saturday night will go

towards the general operation of Central

Alberta Youth Unlimited and the YU-Turn

Drop-In Centre in Lacombe.

“It keeps the lights on in the youth cen-

tre, pays the mortgage, keeps our newslet-

ter fl owing and trains our staff.”

Not that long ago, Central Alberta Youth

Unlimited changed its name from Wolf

Creek Youth Unlimited. Schellenberg said

the name change was the result of some

expansion from the organization in order

to cover more of Central Alberta.

Central Alberta Youth Unlimited now

has a presence in Lacombe, Red Deer, Po-

noka, and Rimbey.

Schellenberg said Central Alberta Youth

Unlimited is incredibly grateful for the

support they have received from the com-

munity and he hopes it continues.

“Honestly, there is just no way that

an organization like ours could exist, let

alone grow (without that support),” said

Schellenberg. He added that he likes to tell

donors the more money Youth Unlimited

raises, the more the organization is capa-

ble of.

“Resources equal impact,” said Schel-

lenberg. “The more resources we have the

more we are able to give back.”

Youth Unlimited raises funds with laughter and cake


At a regular meeting on Oct.

27th, Lacombe City council voted

to continue the 30 km/h speed

limit on 50 Ave. downtown and

furthermore to expand the 30

km/h zone west to 54 St.

Last fall, Councillor Reuben

Konnik brought forward a notice

of motion to have the speed limit

on 50 Ave. (Main St./Nanton Ave.)

reduced to 30 km/h between Hwy.

2A and 53 St. between the hours

of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Monday

to Friday in an effort to increase

pedestrian safety downtown.

At that time, the motion was

passed with the 30 km/h to be re-

viewed after one year.

At the meeting this week, Di-

rector of Infrastructure Matthew

Goudy said the 30 km/h had been

effective in controlling pedes-

trian/vehicle interactions down-

town.

He added the reasoning for

the proposed expansion of the

30 km/h zone was in order to

accommodate the Lacombe Out-

reach School, located at the 54 St.

and 50 Ave. intersection and that

it would align with the pedes-

trian crossing light slated to be

installed at the 53 St. and 50 Ave.

intersection next year.

Konnik said he agreed with ad-

ministration’s assessment that

the 30 km/h zone had been suc-

cessful.

“I can visibly see that people

are going slower,” said Konnik.

He added that most people are

still traveling over the 30 km/h

limit, between 35 and 40 km/h,

but it is still an improvement.

“That’s still immeasurably

slower and safer than it was be-

fore,” said Konnik. He went on

to say that while he had heard

both support and opposition to

the slower speed limit, the vast

majority of the reaction he heard

was supportive.

Councillor Grant Harder said

the public responses he had heard

were quite the opposite. He added

the 50 km/h speed limit near the

golf course is another point of

contention within the communi-

ty that he often hears about.

“I don’t think we are totally

united,” said Harder. “I think

that there are a lot (more) people

that are dissatisfi ed with the 30

kilometre zone and a 50 kilometre

than we are recognizing. I don’t

recall having a single conversa-

tion with one citizen that said,

‘That’s fantastic, I’m glad you

lowered the speed limit to 30’.”

There was some discussion re-

garding the extension of the zone

to accommodate the Lacombe

Outreach School, with some of

the councillors wondering why

that area was not already a 30

km/h school zone.

Goudy said that school zones

are a recommendation and not a

requirement by provincial law.

He added a school zone for the La-

combe Outreach School had sim-

ply not been considered before.

Mayor Steve Christie said he

was more in favour of extending

the zone 30 km/h zone on 50 Ave.

than having a school zone imple-

mented in that area anyway, as

the Lacombe Outreach School

building is leased and has the po-

tential to move when that lease is

up. Christie also said that extend-

ing the zone might make the need

for pedestrian crossing lights at

53 St. and 50 Ave. redundant.

“It’s an ‘either/or’ type of

thing,” said Christie.

“I defi nitely would favour ex-

tending the speed zone because

if they happen to move out and

fi nd another location . . . to spend

the money on the crossing lights

and have them move one or two

or three years later is a little dif-

fi cult for me.”

Konnik made the motion to

continue with the 30 km/h speed

zone and expand the zone to west

to 54 St.

When asked to accept a friend-

ly amendment to have the speed

limit reviewed again after anoth-

er year, he declined.

“We tried it for a year, its work-

ing, I think.”

Konnik’s motion passed 6-1

with Harder voting against.

A home is still standing in La-

combe after fi refi ghters quickly

extinguished a vehicle fi re on

Monday afternoon.

On Oct. 27th, Lacombe Fire was

dispatched to a vehicle fi re at a

residence in Lacombe.

Jim Lozinsky, the owner of the

vehicle and the residence it was

parked at, said he left the vehicle

idling in the driveway while he

ran a quick errand.

When he returned, the vehicle

was already totally engulfed in

fl ames.

Lozinsky said it felt like a long

time waiting for fi refi ghters to ar-

rive on scene, but he is grateful

they were at least able to save his

home.

“I’m glad the house is safe.”

Though it took Lacombe Fire

crews several minutes to arrive

on scene, once they did the fully

involved fi re was extinguished

within minutes.

The vehicle was destroyed by

the fi re but fi re crews were able to

save the home that it was parked

at, though there was some dam-

age to the large garage door and

area.

“It was easily controlled,” said

Fire Chief Ed van Delden.

He said his biggest concern at

the time was actually preventing

the fi re from spreading into the

adjacent attached garage.

Fire crews quickly removed

parts of the soffi t and doused the

garage to prevent the fi re from

spreading.

van Delden said that in such

cases, fi refi ghters’ priority is

to save the house, which is still

worth saving, rather than the ve-

hicle, which was already beyond

saving.

It was a busy week for Lacombe

Fire crews, who responded to sev-

eral other incidents aside from

the vehicle fi re.

During the weekend, Lacombe

Fire was dispatched to investi-

gate a few outside fi res. This time

of year, many farmers are burn-

ing stubble in their fi elds and

passers-by often mistake those

for grassfi res.

van Delden said that if you see

a fi re where bystanders are pres-

ent, there probably is no emer-

gency.

However, he added that should

the fi re department be dispatched

in such a case, fi refi ghters still

need to verify that burn permits

for such controlled fi res are being

met.

On Oct. 24th, Lacombe Fire

also responded to no less that

three collisions.

The fi rst was in the morning

where a southbound pickup truck

was traveling in the north-bound

lane of the QEII Hwy. and struck

a semi-trailer hauling fuel.

van Delden said the pickup

burst into fl ame as a result of the

collision, but no one was serious-

ly hurt.

“(It was) a pretty serious acci-

dent that in terms of injuries, was

surprisingly very minor,” said

van Delden.

“I’ve never seen a vehicle with

that much damage where the oc-

cupants of the vehicle were able

to walk away.”

That afternoon at about 4:15

p.m., Lacombe Fire also respond-

ed to a single-vehicle in the Bur-

bank subdivision near Blackfalds

where a half-ton truck had struck

an approach.

Once again, there were no se-

rious injuries but EMS did treat

patients on-scene.

A third collision involving

a half-ton truck took place on

Woody Nook Road last Friday

night at 8:55 p.m. as well where

EMS also treated for minor inju-

ries but did not transport anyone

to hospital.

On Oct. 23rd, Lacombe Fire

provided mutual aid to the Black-

falds Fire department at a grass-

fi re that had been sparked by a

downed power line. van Delden

said that an individual cutting

fi rewood had felled a tree which

struck the power line or struck

another tree which downed the

power line.

Sparks from the downed line

then ignited a fi re in the brush of

the area, but van Delden said the

fi re did not spread much because

of the ‘swampy’ conditions of the

area.

He added that while the fi re

did not spread, it burned and

smoldered for a long time and

fi refi ghters returned to the scene

on Oct. 25th to put out some hot

spots in the area.

“In the end it didn’t really burn

very much in terms of area, but it

burned very deep and had lots of

smoke,” said van Delden.

Firefi ghters save Lacombe home after vehicle fi re


Infl uenza season begins

as early as October and on

a bad year, can head into

April, offi cials say. It’s peak

time to get immunizations,

which are free at the La-

combe Rexall.

The Rexall pharmacy

will have shots available

until the end of November,

and the Lacombe Memorial

Centre will see its next im-

munization clinic on Nov.

18th from 1 to 7 p.m.

Alberta Health Services

(AHS) is offering free shots

in multiple locations in Red

Deer for the remainder

of the month as well. Dr.

Tigby Horne, one of three

medical offi cers of health

for the Central Zone AHS

said that AHS has a goal

to immunize 45% of the

population with the aim of

reducing the spread of in-

fl uenza strains.

“If you get up a bit higher

than that, in theory you’re

going to limit the transmis-

sion and reduce illness in

the population, and maybe

even protect people who

haven’t been immunized,”

said Horne.

“Something that people

may not realize is that 20-25

per cent of the population

is infected with infl uenza

every year. Some people

may not have any symp-

toms, but nonetheless they

can transmit it to other

people, and they can trans-

mit one to two days before

they’re sick.”

Immunizations are not

a guarantee that a person

will be free of infl uenza,

but there is evidence that

suggests immunizations

reduce the severity and

longevity of infections,

offi cials say. Flu shots

are made up of the World

Health Organization’s

most accurate prediction

of what will be the most

common strains for a sea-

son.

There are two main

groups for vaccines – an

inactive strain vaccine and

a live-attenuated vaccine.

Trials of the vaccines have

shown that the live-attenu-

ated vaccines are most ef-

fective in children ages two

to 17, with the killed vac-

cine mot effective in adults.

The main reasons that

people do not qualify to re-

ceive a vaccination are egg

allergies, severe anaphy-

lactic reactions to previous

infl uenza vaccines or any

of the ingredients and chil-

dren under the age of six

months.

For all other populations,

including the elderly and

pregnant women, there are

vaccinations available.

“The live vaccine is only

given to kids two years and

older because it may cause

some wheezing in kids un-

der two years of age. The

live vaccine is not recom-

mended for women who are

pregnant or for people with

compromised immune sys-

tems, or who have an egg

allergy.

“That’s not the case for

the inactivated shot, be-

cause studies have shown

that even with that allergy,

or cases of compromised

immune systems, the killed

vaccine won’t cause a prob-

lem for you,” said Horne.

The killed vaccine can be

given to most everyone ex-

cept for few rare instances.

Citizens should talk to

their doctor if they are con-

cerned about being eligible

to receive a fl u shot.

“It’s been suggested that

the killed infl uenza vac-

cine can give you infl uenza.

That is not the case. You

might get a fever, a head-

ache or some muscle sore-

ness but that’s not infl uen-

za, it’s the immune system

reacting to the vaccine,”

said Horne.

“We need to talk about

infl uenza – which is pri-

marily a respiratory illness

– and how it is different

from nausea, vomiting and

diarrhoea, which is com-

mon with a noro-virus, also

known as ‘stomach fl u’.”

According to Horne, in-

fl uenza vaccines are about

60% effective in prevent-

ing laboratory confi rmed

cases in young, otherwise

healthy people.

He said that in elderly

populations, the effi cacy is

about 30% using the same

formula.

This means that elderly

people are at a much high-

er risk of catching the fl u,

but should still get vacci-

nated to prevent more seri-

ous illness.

“We do suggest people

take advantages of clin-

ics because they might get

infected beforehand. Vac-

cine is also available from

some physician’s offi ces

and pharmacies. Those

are three ways to get im-

munized, and we are rec-

ommending people do that

over the next six to eight

weeks.”

Flu immunization clinics now in Central Alberta


BY JEFFREY HEYDEN-KAYEBlack Press

A typical day for local MP Blaine Calkins changed dras-

tically last week in Ottawa after an armed man shot and

killed a Canadian soldier and then stormed the Parlia-

ment Building.

Calkins gave a synopsis of his morning on the day of the

shooting during a conference call Oct. 24th.

While Calkins was making his way from one offi ce to the

Parliament Building, shooter Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was

on his way to the fateful shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo,

which led to a day of panic and concern in the capital city.

Calkins was not far ahead of the shooter.

“I didn’t know at the time but I was only a couple of

minutes ahead of that individual (Zehaf-Bibeau),” said

Calkins. While Calkins arrived at the Parliament Build-

ing, Cirillo had just been shot.

The local MP had been in the Hall of Honour for about

two minutes when people in the room heard a loud bang,

which is not out of the ordinary, he explained. “But it just

did not sound right to me.”

It was at this time that police were actively engaging

the shooter and shortly after that 58-year-old Sergeant-at-

Arms Kevin Vickers shot the culprit before he could make

his way further into the Parliament building.

“I was shocked for the fi rst few seconds,” said Calkins.

“I was standing right there in the doorway.”

The Prime Minister was subsequently secured in the

Caucus Room and people barricaded the doors in an effort

to stay protected or defend themselves.

“I remember a very sobering moment when the ser-

geant-at-arms came in. You could see he was quite visibly

shaken but still fi rm in his resolve,” said Calkins.

Getting information out to family and friends was dif-

fi cult as many people were using their cellphones but

Calkins did get a few emails and texts out to family and

staffers.

The rest of the day involved waiting in secure areas

while investigators ensured people were safe.

Calkins said once he arrived at his apartment and spoke

with family members, he slept like a baby.

“I’m not going to let the events of that day affect me any

differently than any other event in my life, that’s been a

tough day,” said Calkins.

He said this shooting was directed at the Canadian

Armed Forces and suggests Canadians should be mindful

of the challenges they face.

“It’s too early to say if there’s going to be any long-term

effects,” he said in relation to the future.

There was some backlash in Alberta Oct. 24th, with van-

dals in Cold Lake spray painting a local mosque with slo-

gans like ‘Go home’ and ‘Canada.’

Not long after however, good Samaritans helped clean

up the mess to counter the vandalism.

Calkins says he feels most people have goodness in their

hearts but there are some individuals who will pervert

their beliefs.

Vandalizing a mosque is not the answer to solving the

actions of a few.

“Remember that the men and women of the Canadian

Forces represent the freedoms that we have. One of those

freedoms are to worship as we please and we need to be

ever mindful of that,” said Calkins.

Calkins fi elded other questions from reporters during

the call and said he was grateful to be home with family.

Canada remains strong

Once a year, when the leaves be-

gin to turn and the earth prepares

for its winter slumber, the souls of

the dead became restless and wake

from theirs. Ghosts appear, ghouls

howl and the dead walk. . .

It’s Halloween!

When I was a kid, I loved dress-

ing up for Halloween and running

around getting candy.

I usually donned the costume of

one of my favourite superheroes

like Batman or Spider-Man, as I

never understood the appeal of

dressing up as something horrifi c

or grotesque and wanting to be

scared out of my pants.

In fact, I still don’t understand a

lot of the more macabre of Hallow-

een traditions.

So, I thought I would share a

little research about the origins

of Halloween to help anyone who

shares my reservations about the

holiday understand it a bit better.

Today, Halloween is an excuse

to dress up crazily and run around

causing mischief or consuming

way more sugar than is good for us.

Its roots however, are much dif-

ferent. Halloween, both the word

and much of the celebration, derive

from ‘All Hallows Eve’ and relates

to the Christian celebration of All

Souls Day on the fi rst of November.

As with many other Christian hol-

idays such as Christmas and Easter,

traditions from other celebrations

were incorporated into Halloween

to aid Christians in converting other

religions, mainly pagan.

The ideas of the dead walking

and supernatural activity around

Halloween are thought to come

from an ancient Celtic festival

known as Samhain.

During Samhain, the barriers be-

tween the living and the dead, the

natural and supernatural worlds

were said to weaken and the souls

of the departed were said to return

home to their families for one night.

Fire was used in a number of

different symbols in these early

Halloween celebrations. In many

countries, people would light can-

dles to guide the souls of family

members home.

Others would carve and light

jack-o-lanterns to recognize wan-

dering souls who had yet to fi nd

a place of rest in either heaven or

hell.

While the ghosts of these depart-

ed were respected and welcomed

by their families who set places for

them at the table, they and other

spirits were also feared, and bon-

fi res would be lit to help protect the

living from any malevolent spirits

that were about. To some degree,

these practices continue to this

day.

As for the idea of dressing up

and visiting houses door to door to

obtain treats, it is believed to have

originated in the 16th century.

People in costume would usually

perform some kind of feat, such

as reciting verses, in exchange for

food, money or drink (a practice

known as ‘guising’ because of the

costume or ‘guises’).

As the practice grew older, guis-

ers would instead threaten to per-

form mischief to the property if

they were not welcomed into a

home. This is where the phrase

‘trick-or-treat’ comes from, though

today it is mostly a catchphrase-

esque way of requesting a treat

during Halloween.

As for guising as ghosts, skel-

etons or other symbols associated

with death, there are a number of

theories to explain where this prac-

tice originated.

For the most part, these seem to

stem directly from Christianity’s

involvement with the festival.

One of the most prevalent theo-

ries is that dressing up as deathly

symbols, or evil supernatural be-

ings came about as a way for Chris-

tians to mock death and Satan as

they had been conquered by the

saviour, Jesus Christ.

There is also some evidence to

suggest a connection between don-

ning costumes of dead spirits on

the night before the dead are cel-

ebrated through All Souls Day.

After the shooting that

happened in Ottawa last

week, there have been a

number of different reac-

tions to the tragic event.

Many are lamenting the

loss of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo,

the soldier who was shot

and died of his wounds

while being part of an hon-

our guard for Canada’s

War Memorial.

Others are commending

the heroism of Sergeant at

Arms Kevin Vickers, who

shot and killed Cirillo’s at-

tacker later inside Cana-

da’s parliament building,

putting his life on the line

to protect others.

Some are criticizing

Canada’s national secu-

rity and asking why the

gunman was not brought

down sooner, or why such

an attack could happen in

the fi rst place and hoping

changes are made to pre-

vent further such instanc-

es.

Most are overjoyed that

no one else was hurt in

this attack and that the

assailant was stopped and

are grateful to all who put

themselves in danger every

day to protect this great

county of ours.

All are legitimate reac-

tions. Most Canadians are

probably feeling a mix of

all of them.

Regardless of what the

country is feeling in light

of this attack, one thing is

certain. We are not scared.

If the shooting in Ottawa

last week (and in fact, ex-

tremist attacks throughout

the world) prove anything,

they prove that Canada will

never back down.

As Prime Minister Ste-

phen Harper said when he

addressed the nation after

the attack, “We will not be

intimidated. Canada will

never be intimidated.”

We are still learning

about the motivations of

the shooter, but in a way

they really don’t matter.

Whatever motivations this

shooter had, or whatever

he hoped to accomplish

with this heinous act, one

thing is clear.

Last week’s shooting was

a cowardly act performed

by a sad, misguided man.

Cirillo’s shooter, who will

not be named here as he

does not deserve any form

of recognition, fi red at the

unarmed Cirillo from be-

hind while Cirillo was per-

forming a service to our

country as part of an hon-

our guard.

Cirillo will be remem-

bered as the soldier who

died while performing, as

the name implies, an hon-

ourable duty.

Vickers will be remem-

bered as the man who put

others’ safety before his

own and stopped what

could have been a violent

rampage against our coun-

try’s leaders.

As for the shooter, if he

is remembered at all, he

will only be remembered as

a petty criminal who paid

for his crimes and failed to

shake the confi dence or re-

solve of all in this country

who oppose such attacks.

Taking a look at the history of Halloween BRIAN

V O S S E N


To answer this question

we fi rst need to defi ne who

a Christian is.

A Christian is a disciple

of Christ as one who sub-

mits to Christ as their Lord.

We also need to understand

what tolerance means.

Webster defi nes it as ‘a will-

ingness to accept there are

feelings, habits, or beliefs

that are different than your

own.’

Synonyms for tolerance

are forbearance, mercy and

patience. Unfortunately,

that’s not how most peo-

ple view tolerance today;

rather, the ‘politically cor-

rect’ defi nition of tolerance

means to consider every-

one’s beliefs, values and

lifestyles as equally valid.

The difference is the beliefs

are ‘equally valid’, which

creates a great problem.

First, it defi es reason,

because it suggests all be-

liefs are equally true. If you

believe two plus two equals

four and your friend be-

lieves two plus two equals

fi ve, one of you is wrong.

Second, being politically

correct assumes people

have a right to not be of-

fended. Yet, truth is always

offensive when it stands in

opposition to a lie.

So is Christianity intoler-

ant?

If we use the ‘politically

correct’ defi nition of toler-

ance, yes indeed. In fact,

today, it is very intolerant

to say Jesus is the way, the

truth and the life; and no

one can get to God except

through Him (John 14:6).

It is also intolerant to state

that there is no other name

under heaven other than

Jesus by which a person

can be saved (Acts 4:12).

It is intolerant to say that

there is only one true God

(John 17:3). Jesus was in-

tolerant of hatred when He

said, “Love your enemies”

(Luke 6:27).

Jesus was intolerant of

prejudice when He gave the

parable of the Good Samar-

itan (Luke 10:30-37).

Jesus was very intoler-

ant of religious hypocrisy

and false teachers. He was

intolerant of pride, rebel-

lion, sin, covetousness,

adultery, lying, cheating,

stealing, fornicating and

murder.

On the other hand if we

use a dictionary defi nition,

then Christianity is also

very tolerant.

The Bible teaches Chris-

tians to be very forgiving

(Matt. 18:21-22), to be pa-

tient and kind (Gal. 5:22-23),

and to be honest and whole-

some (Phil. 4:6-8). Jesus

taught us to love and to be

examples of kindness and

truth in the world. Jesus,

Himself, demonstrated the

greatest love and patience

with those who were guilty

of all the things He is intol-

erant of, even submitting to

the death of the cross as a

payment for sin He was in-

tolerant of. Yet, Jesus never

condoned sin but would

rather say, “Go and sin no

more!” (John 8:11)

Whether or not Chris-

tianity is intolerant lies

in who Jesus is, what He

claimed and what He did. If

what Jesus said and did is

true, then Christianity isn’t

intolerant at all. It is simply

truth!

Truth is, in its defi nition,

intolerant of falsehood;

just as light is intolerant of

darkness.

If Christianity is not

true then Jesus is not God,

He didn’t do miracles, He

didn’t die and rise from the

dead after three days and

He will not come again to

judge every person by His

truth. If He did do these

things as He has told us,

Christianity is true and

Christians must follow

Christ as the only way, the

truth and the life (John

14:6).

Maybe we should ask

this question, “Are non-

Christians, who preach tol-

erance and accuse Chris-

tians of intolerance, by the

very point of their message

intolerant themselves?”

Doesn’t this suggest a

message of intolerance

to truth itself or anyone

who values Christianity as

truth? As a Christian I be-

lieve Christ is truth and He

said, “And you shall know

the truth, and the truth

shall make you free.” (John

8:32)

Scott Dibbet is pastor of the Lacombe Free Reformed Church.

Is Christianity intolerant in this day and age?

One hundred and sixteen fl ags are currently lining

Hwy. 11 near Sylvan Lake in honour of Canadian soldiers

who have lost their lives. The Flags of Remembrance will

be on display until Nov. 15th. Each fl ag represents 1,000

Canadian war dead.

“I had people coming over to me and shaking my hand

and saying thank you – it blows me away,” said Allan

Cameron, founding executive director of Veterans Voices

of Canada, who spearheaded The Flags of Remembrance

project. “When I thought about this and I envisioned it, I

thought there was no way people would not see this. The

idea was to get people to stop and to think and it’s done

that. I knew it was going to happen, but when it happens, it

makes you think wow. It is quite amazing and it gives you

that warm feeling.”

Cameron had the idea for the project about three years

ago. “First and foremost this is a tribute and I wanted to

make it a campaign for Veterans Voices of Canada as well.

It’s part of Veterans Voices of Canada and it’s another as-

pect of our remembering. Veterans Voices of Canada is all

about historical interviews and documentation with vet-

erans. This is another part of us trying to give back to our

past, present and future serving veterans.”

The fl ags have been supplied by MPs, MLAs and sena-

tors across Canada. The Flags of Remembrance has

been planned for a number of months, but in light of last

week’s events in Ottawa and Quebec which saw two Cana-

dian soldiers killed (Warrant Offi cer Patrice Vincent and

Cpl. Nathan Cirillo), Cameron said the timing couldn’t be

more signifi cant. “I call it ‘sad timing’,” he said. “If these

fl ags going up brings people together, brings Canadians

together and brings the world together, it’s a great thing

and that makes me happy. These fl ags represent Canada,

they represent remembrance and us pulling together as a

nation. If Cirillo and Vincent are looking down on us now,

they would be quite proud of what we’re doing as Canadi-

ans pulling together.”

On Nov. 15th at noon, a closing ceremony for the Flags

of Remembrance will be held. “These fl ags are sponsored

by business and by individuals. As people sponsor these

fl ags what we want to do is get them to give us a name and

information about a veteran, about a hero that they know

about. We will put that information on a plaque. These

maple leaf-shaped plaques will be placed on the fl ag poles

in the next few days,” said Cameron. “We invite them to

come along to the closing ceremony, the fl ags and plaques

will come down and we will present the plaques and fl ags

to that family member or a representative of that family.”

Cameron’s hope is to have the Flags of Remembrance

every year in every province beginning next year.

“We want to give every town and every area in Canada

an opportunity to take part in this and to show their com-

munity pride as well.”

The Bentley Generals have

added two more to their win col-

umn early in the season.

After last weekend, Bentley

remains undefeated, beating

the Innisfail Eagles 7-1 and the

Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 4-2 at

games in Lacombe and Fort Sas-

katchewan respectively bringing

their record to 4-0.

Bentley’s game in Lacombe

was a hard-fought battle and one

of those where the scoreboard

doesn’t show how close the com-

petition really was, said Gens

Coach Ryan Tobler.

“I don’t think the score is in-

dicative of how this game went.”

In the fi rst period, Tobler said

play was very even. But, the Gen-

erals had a slight advantage as it

was their fi rst game of the week-

end.

“The fi rst period was spirited.

It was great - back and forth,”

said Tobler.“(Innisfail) played

last night, we had the fresh legs.”

It was a very rough game for

the Generals, with the Eagles ini-

tiating a lot of rough play in be-

tween the whistles. However, the

Gens weathered the abuse stoi-

cally and even managed to turn

the frequent Innisfail penalties to

their advantage.

“I was proud of how resilient

we were. I thought we did a great

job between whistles,” said To-

bler.

Every exchange between the

two teams was tight and they

seemed evenly matched in skill.

Tobler said power plays were the

deciding factor in the otherwise

close contest.

“Some timely power play goals

by us were the difference.” He

added that is what happens when

teams have undisciplined play-

ers – they get penalties that lead

to the opposition scoring chances.

While it may have been power

play goals that led to the victory

over the Innisfail, the Eagles also

demonstrated an effective pen-

alty kill.

“They do a great job of block-

ing shots,” said Tobler. “It’s really

hard to get pucks in through from

the point.

“You have to spread them out.

You have to have good puck and

player movement. It’s the only

way to have success against these

guys. You know you will have to

work hard against these guys in

the power play.”

Tobler said aggressive and to a

degree even rough play does not

bother him.

He said it makes for good hock-

ey and can form exciting rivalry.

However, there is a line be-

tween rough and dangerous. That

line was crossed last Saturday

night when Innisfail Eagle Travis

Dunstall attempted to injure one

of the Generals by kneeing.

Dunstall received a match pen-

alty for his actions and was eject-

ed from the game. Tobler com-

mented on the incident saying

it was “garbage” and made his

thoughts on such players clear.

“When players like Dunstall

try to hurt other players, that’s

when I have a problem. I would

never ask one of my players to do

that and if they did they wouldn’t

see the ice. These guys have to get

up and go to work the next day

and there is no room for that in

this league. Absolutely none. I

don’t agree with it. It’s unaccept-

able and I’m upset about it.”

As for how the Gens played, To-

bler said he was happy.

He said he was especially

pleased with how the Gens played

a full game of hockey.

“Right from the onset it was a

good 60 minute effort.”

In fact, Tobler said he is im-

pressed with how the Generals

have been playing all season so

far. Last week, he mentioned the

team was doing well but still have

a long way to go before they can

claim the cup.

This week, Tobler said the posi-

tive trend is continuing.

“I’m very happy with the way

we are competing.”

The Lacombe Raiders are

on the path to be crowned

the division champions this

season.

After shutting out the

Rocky Mountain House

Rebels 39-0 in Lacombe this

past Saturday, the Raid-

ers are on their way to the

championship match.

Coach Darren Gagnon

said he was impressed

with how the team had pro-

gressed this season, espe-

cially considering the high

turnover of fi rst year raid-

ers. However, he said keep-

ing the young team cen-

tered on the task at hand

may require some effort.

“We’ve had to work

very hard to keep them fo-

cused,” said Gagnon. He

added the veteran players

on the team have done a

great job of keeping the

younger players focused

this season.

As for the technical as-

pects of their game, Ga-

gnon said the Raiders’ of-

fense has some work to do

before the championship

game this weekend. Speak-

ing to his players after the

game, Gagnon said both

catching and blocking on

the offensive side needed to

improve.

In the semi-fi nal game

against Rocky Mountain

House, Lacombe com-

pletely dominated the fi eld

the entire time. Once they

had established a lead, the

Raiders’ defence stopped

all the Rebels’ attempts at

scoring stone cold.

Lacombe’s superb defen-

sive game on Saturday re-

ally took pressure off the

offensive line. This allowed

the Raiders’ offense to casu-

ally score the points as they

saw opportunities arise.

The fact that the Rebels

were missing several play-

ers from their roster didn’t

hurt the Raiders’ game

either. Using their longer

bench, the Raiders were

able to tire out their oppo-

nents, which led to more

scoring chances.

Gagnon did say though

that he was a little disap-

pointed with the consisten-

cy of how the offensive line

played. While they made

some outstanding plays,

there was a lot of game in

between those plays that

did not go as smoothly as

they should have. Gagnon

said receivers were drop-

ping too many passes and

that is something that will

have to improve before the

championship game.

“We had a lot of key play-

ers that made errors to-

day,” said Gagnon. “Our O-

line played well today but

not all of them were doing

it on every play.”

Towards the end of the

game, the Raiders’ coach-

ing staff took advantage

of the insurance offered to

them by their strong lead

to play some of their more

inexperienced players.

“It was great today that

we got to play all our kids,

we always try to play all

our kids.”

This weekend, the Raid-

ers will play the Hunting

Hills Lighting in Lacombe

for a shot at the champion-

ship title. Lacombe defeat-

ed Hunting Hills when the

teams last met, but Gagnon

said that doesn’t mean this

weekend’s game will be an

easy one by any means.

“Last time it took our

kids a quarter to get go-

ing,” he said.

For the Raiders, the big-

gest challenge will be stay-

ing focused and disciplined

throughout the whole

game. Gagnon said this has

been the Raiders’ biggest

challenge all season, but

the team has done a lot of

good work as well.

“They work hard, they

are respectful of each oth-

er.”

Gagnon said that this

meshes with the philoso-

phy the Raiders’ coaches

try to share with the play-

ers. It isn’t so much about

winning on the scoreboard

as it is feeling like winners

because they have played

their best.

Overconfi dence is an-

other thing the Raiders will

have to stay away from in

order for this Saturday’s

game to be successful.

“They’re young. It’s

hard for them not to get big

heads.”

Lacombe Raiders eye championship title after semi-fi nal win


Members of the Blackfalds

Pee Wee Bulldogs hockey team

got a surprise they aren’t likely

to forget when Lord Stanley’s

Cup made an appearance at their

practice this past Tuesday night.

Players, coaches and even some

parents from the team were able

to see, touch and have photos

taken with the NHL trophy. This

once-in-a-lifetime surprise was

done through Scotiabank and

their involvement with Home-

town Hockey.

Brian Porter, vice-president

for Scotiabank Central Alberta,

said that when Scotiabank got

involved with Hometown Hockey,

they wanted to be sure it rec-

ognized areas surrounding Red

Deer.

Each of Porter’s branches was

given the opportunity to spon-

sor a hockey team for $1,000 and

Scotiabank’s Lancaster Branch

in Red Deer did so for the Black-

falds Pee Wee Bulldogs. When

Porter found out the Stanley Cup

would also be going on tour, he

thought it would tie in nicely with

the sponsorship and as a precur-

sor to this weekend’s Hometown

Hockey events.

“Our partnership with the

NHL has given us the opportunity

to provide a unique experience,”

said Porter. He added Scotiabank

is committed to grassroots hock-

ey programs in the communities

it serves. As such it makes sense

to share such experiences.

Because Scotiabank is the offi -

cial bank of the NHL, Porter has

done similar presentations with

other young hockey teams in the

past. However, he said the experi-

ence never becomes run-of-the-

mill.

“It can’t get old for a moment,”

said Porter. “And watching not

only (players) but parents enjoy

that at the same time, you can’t

beat that.”

The Stanley Cup visit was a

complete surprise to everyone on

the team except for the Bulldogs’

manager and head coach. Brad

Barber, another one of the team’s

coaches, said he knew something

was up when he was told he had

to be at the rink tonight, but as-

sumed it was just for photos relat-

ing to Scotiabank’s sponsorship,

which is what the team had been

told.

“I think the coaches were more

excited than the kids,” said Bar-

ber. “But it was great to see the

reaction.”

He added the players on the

team probably don’t quite grasp

the signifi cance of them being

able to see the Stanley Cup as a

minor hockey team, but he knows

it is something they will not for-

get.

“Hopefully it motivates them,”

Barber added with a laugh.

He also said he is grateful to all

who had a hand in bring the Stan-

ley Cup to Blackfalds.

“It’s a great opportunity. I ap-

preciate all the work that has

gone into this.”

Mike Bolt, one of the offi cial

Keepers of Lord Stanley’s Cup

who brought the trophy to Black-

falds regularly tours around the

world with the Cup and is used to

doing such visits. He said the re-

action of all who see the Stanley

Cup is different, but it is always

something good.

Bolt shared Barber’s feelings

that the signifi cance of getting

to see the Cup without being a

winning NHL team might not be

completely understood by the

Bulldogs just yet, but it is a rare

moment that will stay with them

forever.

“Not many people have that

opportunity,” said Bolt. “I don’t

know if the magnitude or impact

of today will sink in until maybe

years down the road for some

of these kids, but they will talk

about this for the rest of their

lives.”

Fans of timeless classics won’t want to

miss Oh What a Night! A Musical Tribute

To Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons set

for Nov. 11th at the Memorial Centre in

Red Deer.

Showtime is 7 p.m.

It’s a glittering musical revue written

by Motown producer and creative consul-

tant George Solomon, directed by Michael

Chapman with choreography by Paul Hol-

mquist. And it’s a show that organizers

say has been dazzling audiences with its

choreography, boundless energy, humour

and, of course, songs that have become in-

stantly recognizable in pop culture.

Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like

A Man, Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, My

Eyes Adored You, Working My Way Back

To You, Let’s Hang On and Who Loves

You are just some of the hits audiences

will enjoy from the songbook of those boys

from Jersey - Frankie Vallie & the Four

Seasons. Currently there are 40 men split

up into groups of four taking the show

across the globe.

Cast member Rick Wojnowski just re-

turned from a six-week touring stint with

the troupe in Australia, and he continues

to be amazed and inspired at the powerful

impact the show has on audiences. “We av-

eraged about six to eight shows per week,”

he says. “And 90 per cent of the time, we

were in a different town every night. So it

was a busy schedule, but very rewarding.”

The show brings to life a total of 30 of

the Four Seasons’ hits. It’s a tribute to

the songbook of the Rock and Roll Hall of

Fame super group with note-perfect rendi-

tions of the iconic ‘Jersey boys’.

The songs span the two decades of the

group’s major hits from the early 1960s to

the late 1970s disco – featured in a high-

energy theatrical show.

Wojnowski, who has been singing with

the production for six years, credits the en-

during nature of the tunes to their catchy

melodies and accessible, relatable lyrics.

“One of the things that blows my mind

every time we do the show is that we have

people that come back stage in their 60s

who say, ‘Oh my gosh, you took me back to

my high school days – that was amazing’.

And then we have kids and teenagers that

were dragged to the show and they loved

it. They want to take pictures with us af-

terwards.”

He notes that in past eras, families often

had a shared experience of entertainment.

There were limited choices in terms of TV

stations, radio, fi lm and such.

Folks pretty much listened to and saw

the same sorts of things. These days, the

entertainment choices are virtually limit-

less with the coming of online offerings, to

name just one example. Oh What A Night!

- in a sense - hearkens back to that sort of

warm sensibility, which is really a refresh-

ing change of pace for those not familiar

with those times.

“So when these kids come to see the

show, they’re really seeing that this is good

too. It never ceases to amaze me when a

teenage boy or girl says how much they

loved it. I’m so happy that we are reaching

those in that age group – a new generation.

It’s fun music. It’s touching music – and

our show is non-stop, full of dancing and

comedy, too.”

Solomon has also pointed out that Oh

What A Night! is not a carbon copy of

The Jersey Boys. There’s a uniqueness to

how the production has been put together

which continues to draw a loyal and grow-

ing audience. “The melodies and harmo-

nies are great to sing and the songs are

always a special memory for somebody.”

Wojnowski adds that the show’s creators

aren’t just looking for the right voice when

singers audition – they are looking for the

right attitude as well. It’s vital that each

and every performer be a true fan of the

music and love to sing it, because if there’s

a hint of that passion not there, the audi-

ence can detect it. “It’s just fun – a real

celebration of this music for sure. And it’s

timeless, too.”

Staying true to the original recordings,

this tribute indeed honours the talent of

an American legend.

In 1990, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall

of Fame. To this day their music continues

to thrill all ages. To that end, the cast of the

show stay true to the recordings without

trying to mimic or impersonate the group.

As for the songs’ enduring appeal, Solo-

mon credits the songwriting fi nesse and

Valli’s unique voice with much of its leg-

endary nature.

“I see them as little stories, and I think

they had amazingly catchy hooks to them.

If you hear one of the songs once, you can

sing it – the melody would be in your head

and the harmonies are so pleasing to the

ear.”

12 Lacombe Express Thursday, October 30, 2014ARTS & LEISURE

What brings millions of

North Americans to their

knees late in life? Today,

with an aging population

many people now end their

lives in wheelchairs due to

brittle bones (osteoporosis)

or are crippled by the pain

of osteoarthritis, the wear

and tear type.

Osteoarthritis, a degen-

erative joint disease, is an

infl ammatory condition in-

volving the destruction of

cartilage. Its gel-like nature

normally acts as a shock

absorber. Without cartilage

bones rub on bones causing

daily pain.

Studies show that one

in two people will develop

osteoarthritis in their lat-

ter years, and two in three

obese people will suffer

from it at some time during

their life.

Now, studies done at the

Netherlands Institute of

Rheumatology and other

European centers found

that a natural remedy,

choline-stablilized ortho-

silic acid (ch-OSA), better

known as BioSil, helps to

ease the pain of osteoar-

thritis of the knee.

Researchers reported at

the Annual European Con-

gress of Rheumatology in

Paris, France, that the av-

erage age of patients stud-

ied was 61 years and 72%

were women, of which 98%

were menopausal.

The study demonstrated

that after 12 weeks of treat-

ment ch-OSA reduced pain,

stiffness, and improved

function of the knee of

men. Researchers are not

certain why BioSil had

a more positive effect on

men, but not on women.

They concluded women

waited longer to get treat-

ment and had more ad-

vanced changes than men.

The good news is that

women are helped by BioSil

in several other ways, most

importantly osteoporosis.

Studies reveal that one in

four women over the age

of 50 has this disease. Os-

teoporosis, a silent killer,

results in fractures of the

spine, hip and wrist. A rib

fracture can even occur

from a forceful hug. Some

patients face chronic pain

or life in a wheelchair.

Who develops this crip-

pling disease depends on

several factors. Genet-

ics plays a role in certain

families. So does being

thin, small-boned and of

white or Asian ancestry.

Smokers, and those who

consume three or more al-

coholic drinks a day and

patients who require corti-

costeroids to treat arthritis

or asthma are at increased

risk. Professor T.D. Spec-

tor, a leading bone re-

searcher at St Thomas Hos-

pital, London, England, has

also shown that low dose

ch-OSA, a form of silicon,

plays a major role in build-

ing strong bones.

In his study women with

either osteopenia (early

stage of osteoporosis) or

osteoporosis were divided

into three groups. They

were all prescribed a daily

supplement of 1,000 mil-

ligrams (mg) of elemental

calcium and 800 interna-

tional units of Vitamin

D3. But three of the four

groups were also given dai-

ly amounts of either 3, 6 or

12 drops of ch-OSA.

Spector reported that af-

ter 12 months those women

taking 6 and 12 drops of

ch-OSA showed signifi cant

changes in bone formation,

particularly in the hipbone.

Ch-OSA builds and main-

tains strong bones by de-

positing calcium and phos-

phate into bone. Equally

vital is that ch-OSA trig-

gers collagen formation,

the fi brous protein which

provides support for bony

structures. It’s like the

steel rods that keep build-

ings from collapsing.

The aorta, the largest

artery in the body, also

benefi ts from ch-OSA. In

later life the aorta contains

only 15% silicon, the same

amount as a child! Losing

this supporting structure

may be one reason for de-

velopment of an aortic an-

eurysm, subsequent rup-

ture and death.

The predominant compo-

nent of nails is keratin and

the lack of collagen causes

brittle nails. Also less hair

tends to fall out and skin

is less wrinkled when ad-

equate collagen is present.

It’s not often that a natu-

ral remedy such as BioSil

helps so many diverse prob-

lems. The reason is that col-

lagen is the glue that holds

cells together and a sound,

solid framework is good for

all human organs.

BioSil can be taken as

drops or capsules. The usu-

al dose for bone strength

is fi ve drops daily in ei-

ther juice or water or one

capsule daily. For skin,

additional hair or nail ben-

efi ts take 10 drops daily or

two capsules. Pregnant or

nursing mothers should

not take BioSil. This natu-

ral remedy is available in

Health Food Stores.

BioSil: a natural remedy that fi ghts arthritis and osteoporosis


The Cow Patti Theatre Com-

pany will kick off its 18th season

with the classic farce Who’s Un-

der Where, featuring jealous hus-

bands, lingerie, misunderstand-

ings and clever physical comedy.

The show will run from Nov.

13th until Dec. 14th at the La-

combe Golf and Country Club.

The shows run as part of a din-

ner theatre with tickets for $70,

a chicken and rib theatre or a

brunch theatre, tickets for both

cost $60.

Tickets are available through

the Lacombe Golf and Country

Club box offi ce weekdays from 9

a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling 403-304-

3629.

Cow Patti creator and show

producer AnnaMarie Lea said

she is very excited for the perfor-

mance, and is particularly fond of

the chosen piece.

“I decided to do this show be-

cause we wanted to provide our

audience with something where

they could just sit back, relax and

have a good show without think-

ing too much. This play is very

physical and is in your face with

big laughs,” said Lea.

The show walks audiences

through the trials of two linge-

rie designers who are hoping to

win a multi-million dollar deal

with an Italian designer. Their

husbands, confused and jealous,

attempt to sabotage their wives’

chances and hilarity ensues. The

comedy has received rave reviews

since its debut and continues to

be performed often.

“As an actor, I fi nd it exciting

to gather a group of people and

take them somewhere else for a

few hours. They can forget about

day–to-day and worries and just

enjoy themselves.”

The Cow Patti Theatre Compa-

ny uses some of the funds raised

from their performances for a

benefi t program. Thursday eve-

ning performances are the benefi t

shows, with funds collected going

to groups such as GrammaLink,

Medical Mercy Canada, Knights

of Columbus, The Lending Cup-

board and the Lacombe Perform-

ing Arts Centre Foundation.

One of Lea’s main inspirations

for bringing the show to Lacombe

this year was because Cow Patti

wanted an all-Canadian season.

Canadians Marcia Kash and

Douglas Hughes wrote Who’s Un-

der Where in 1992. Lea had per-

formed in this play a number of

years ago with a different acting

company, and she said that she

thoroughly enjoyed it.

“A farce is very simple with re-

gards to dialogue so it’s the physi-

cal comedy that makes it come to

life. The audience has the upper

hand in that they know what’s

going on. It’s fun for them to be a

part of the play – knowing what’s

going on before the characters

do. Once they think they know

what’s going to happen there’s a

new plot twist,” said Lea.

“Farce acting is known to be

quite diffi cult. It’s very physical

and the timing is so important

and so precise. It keeps the audi-

ence on the edge of their seats

and trying to keep up with what’s

happening next. It’s a lot of work,

but a lot of fun,” she said.

The Lacombe Golf and Coun-

try Club will host and cater the

event. Dinner is served at 6:45

p.m. with the performance to fol-

low at 8 p.m.

“I’d like the audience to walk

away with a full belly of great

food and a good laugh. I want

them to be able to walk away and

have had a couple of hours of just

pure enjoyment. To be able to

make people laugh is very impor-

tant and to give them a great time

to forget their worries.”

house fi res in and around Red

Deer has caused me to wonder

what my life would be like with-

out all of my ‘things’, would I be

devastated by the loss or would I

be able to rise above and go with

an attitude of, ‘they are only

things’? If I take a realistic look

at my current home situation I

think that I would be able to look

past losing anything as long as

my family and my precious pup-

py were safe.

Yes, decor is important and a

beautifully appointed home com-

forts the soul but be careful not to

put too much emotional value in

items.

I absolutely understand the

value in family photos and me-

mentos from our children and

relatives and if you are in posses-

sion of such items then it may be

a good idea to rent a safety depos-

it box or keep these mementos (or

copies) in an offsite location just

in case a calamity strikes.

In my recent house search I

have been challenged as to what

is ‘home’ and what can and can’t

be lived with and I have to tell you

that a great deal of my perspec-

tive has changed over the years.

The time I have spent on fur-

nishing and designing my homes

has been joyful but I am also real-

izing that I don’t have to have it

ALL to be happy and to have it

feel like home.

In searching I have found that

different parts of each house

speak to me in different ways.

One place is charming and cozy

and the next has wonderful light

and an abundance of storage

space.

The common denominator is

that I will make any place I pur-

chase home, I will fi ll it with my

treasures and photos but more

importantly I will fi ll it with peo-

ple that I love.

It’s time to get back to hosting

and caring for my loved ones and

I am eager to once again open up

my home and myself to family

and friends.

Regardless of what things I

may have and not worrying that

I may need a few renovations in

whatever home I fi nally choose.

Whether you have lost your

home to fi re, fl ood, divorce or any

other life circumstance it is up to

you to rebuild and feather your

nest once again.

Home is the sum of all parts of

your life, not just the items that

you may possess.

Things can be bought and sold

and decor shifts and evolves as

time marches on but if you keep

home in your heart you will take

it with you regardless of where

you live.

FLEXIBILITY Ι ONGOING SUPPORT Ι FUN

TRAVELAs I re-live in memory what I had just

experienced from South Africa to the Cape

Verde Islands, I was promptly met by my

imagination as to what I was in for during

the next part of my journey.

The Cape Verde Islands were uninhab-

ited when the Portuguese spotted them

in 1456 and founded the fi rst European

settlement in the tropics in 1462. Grapes

fl ourished and produced excellent wines

leading to slaves being brought in to do

the backbreaking work on the plantations.

The Portuguese found it the ideal base to

control portions of the African coast and

as a transit point for slaves on their way to

the Americas.

The Canary Islands off the coast of Mo-

rocco deserves its reputation for beauty

and mild climate. They are volcanic in

origin with Mount Teide on Tenerife - the

highest peak in Spain at over 12,000 ft. It

arises from a volcanic crater over 29 miles

in circumference in the centre of Las Can-

ada’s National Park. The rock landscapes

that resulted from eruptions have made

this a popular setting for spaghetti west-

erns and space movies located on inhospi-

table planets.

Casablanca in Morocco has the most

beautiful doors imaginable. Doors! A vari-

ety of shapes, the wood is carved and pol-

ished to a shine and often graced with the

‘Hand of Fatima’ to ward off evil and bring

luck to inhabitants. The narrow streets of

the old Medina area are cobbled and wind

in a manner suggesting mysterious se-

crets. The detail of the doorways, carvings,

tile work and fountains carries into that

of the Hassan II Mosque - extraordinary

is an understatement. It is built on land

reclaimed from the ocean and part of the

fl oor retracts allowing worshippers to pray

looking straight into the water.

Ceuta, at the entrance to the Mediter-

ranean Sea, contains Mount Hacho which

along with Gibraltar, forms the ancient

‘Pillars of Hercules’. A strategic loca-

tion in ancient times Muslim forces used

Hacho to invade Gibraltar and Spain. In

the 1500s, Ceuta was settled by Spaniards

resulting in today’s blend of Spanish and

Moroccan styles. The blue-washed city of

Chefchaouen, settled by refugees of the

Spanish ‘Reconquista’, contain the Arab

Bazaar, the ancient walls of the Alcazaba

and the turrets of the Kasba are in this

beautiful city. The Medina of Tetouan,

settled by Islamic refugees, is a UNESCO

World Heritage Site.

We docked in the centre of Rouen near

the medieval quarter. It is known as the

City of One Hundred Spires which includes

the Cathedral Notre Dame de Rouen,

started in the 12th Century and completed

300 years later. A bronze cross in the Old

Marketplace marks the spot where Joan of

Arc was burned at the stake for heresy. A

small train roams the medieval quarter al-

lowing people to see the historic sites with

no exertion. Paris, the quaint 17th Century

harbour town of Honfl eur and Monet’s

Home at Givernay are excursion options

for those wanting to venture farther.

The last port of call before disembarking

in Dover was Antwerp whose reputation as

a diamond cutting centre dates back to the

Renaissance. The Cathedral of Our Lady

in the Old Town is the largest Gothic ca-

thedral in Belgium with seven naves and

13 pillars. Also in the Old Town is the old

marketplace with guild houses, the Town

Hall, the Brabo Statue and narrow medi-

eval Pie Alley.

A canal cruise through Ghent and Bruge

is a unique medieval experience and pro-

vides an opportunity to see famous works

of art.

I was saddened that it was coming to an

end. So many cultures, so many centuries

of history. I could travel the amazing east-

ern coastline of the two continents and

learn again and again.

I was truly struck over and over. One

month by far is not enough to see every-

thing. However, it is enough to be able to

taste what a world so far away has to offer.

The people, history, cultures, and overall

energy pouring from that area of the world

I will cherish always and never forget.

I look forward to sharing my stories of

amazement and beauty.
