It was a short trip, but visitors to La-

combe have made fond memories here.

On the night of Sept. 23rd, the Lacombe

and District Rikubetsu Friendship Society

held a farewell potluck for the students

and chaperones from Lacombe’s twin com-

munity of Rikubetsu, Japan.

The delegation from Rikubetsu arrived

in Lacombe on Sept. 20th and left early the

morning of Sept. 24th.

While the trip was very short, both the

visitors and the families who hosted them

will have long-lasting memories of the

visit.

Among them is Twyla Dutz, who decided

to host two of the Japanese visitors be-

cause of a special place Japan has in her

heart.

Dutz said that she and her husband actu-

ally lived in Japan for a few years shortly

after they were married in a community

not far from Rikubetsu. After learning

about the annual visit from Rikubetsu

from a friend who had hosted previously,

Dutz signed up to be a host family as well.

Because Dutz had lived in Japan, host-

ing the Japanese visitors was very special

to her.

She described the experience as “natsu-

kashi” a Japanese word meaning a fond

remembrance, what Canadians might call

nostalgia.

“What I loved is just having Japan

(come) back to me,” said Dutz. “Because

we were there and our hearts have always

had Japan in them.”

Thirteen-year-old Rin Kambayashi, one

of the students who stayed with Dutz, said

that she wanted to come to Canada to study

a different culture. She said that when she

fi rst arrived, the generosity and friendli-

ness of Canadians took her a little bit by

surprise.

“Canadian people are so kind,” said

Kambayashi through an interpreter.

Yuko Sugawara, who served as inter-

preter for the delegation, actually visits

Canada fairly often in her job as a tour es-

cort.

She is actually returning to Canada with

another group next month and had visited

Lacombe in the past as well, serving as

interpreter for last year’s delegation too.

Sugawara said she was happy to return.

“I had very good experiences (last time I

visited),” she said.

During their visit, the Rikubetsu delega-

tion did many things as a group, like tour-

ing Lacombe and visiting the Royal Tyrell

Museum outside Drumheller, but they also

made time for fun and bonding with their

host families.

Dutz said she and Kambayashi visited

Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, went out

for sushi, played mini-golf and of course,

did some souvenir shopping.

When the delegation toured around La-

combe, one of the places that stuck out for

Kambayashi was the group’s visit to the

Lacombe YU-Turn Centre.

She said that such hang-outs don’t exist

in her home.

“We don’t have that kind of place in Ja-

pan,” said Kambayashi, speaking through

Sugawara.

Kambayashi said she very much enjoyed

staying with her host family and her favou-

rite activities with them including going

luging at Canada Olympic Park and driv-

ing Dutz’s side-by-side quad.

She added that she now knows a little bit

more about a different culture and has cre-

ated a bond with her host family, making

her trip a very worthwhile experience.

Cultural exchanges could be said to be

the whole point of the annual visit from

Rikubetsu.

Dutz said that this can go a long way

to promoting tolerance and acceptance,

something there isn’t always enough of in

the world today.

“I think if we live in a culture where we

don’t experience other cultures, what’s the

point?” said Dutz.

Sugawara agreed, saying that is es-

pecially important for children to learn

about other cultures while they are young

and impressionable.

“It is important to experience other cul-

tures, especially at an age like this,” said

Sugawara gesturing to Kambayashi.

Kambayashi also attempted to bring

some of her own culture with her to share

with her host family in Lacombe.

She said she brought chopsticks to use

with her host family and taught them some

origami. Dutz added that they all even

tried their hand at cooking some Japanese

dishes together.

At the farewell supper, there was a

short program where representatives of

Lacombe made speeches and exchanged

some gifts with the delegation.

Among the gifts presented to the visitors

were personalized Lacombe hockey jerseys,

one for each member of the delegation.

NOVA Chemicals has been

working on an expansion project

of their polyethylene plant in Jof-

fre since it broke ground almost

one and a half years ago, with

big portions of the project taking

shape.

The $1 billion project includes

a world-scale reactor, the third on

the site. During the polyethylene

reactor project (PE1 Expansion

Project), a second task of upgrad-

ing existing furnace structures

will take place.

All of the work being done at

Joffre will raise the site’s produc-

tion of polyethylene (a common

form of plastic polymer used in

water bottles, plastic bags, etc.)

and will do so without substan-

tially increasing the plant’s eco-

logical footprint, staff say.

“For all of our expansion-type

projects, we certainly do all of

our predictions on what might

happen to our various emission

sources and water needs and

things like that for the site,” said

Joffre Site Manager Rick Van

Hemmen.

“From an environmental per-

spective, especially when you

talk about a modifi cation to our

polyethylene facilities, it really is

a very modest change to our en-

vironmental footprint for the site.

We’re really basing this growth

on existing capacity in our ethyl-

ene plants on the site.”

Van Hemmen explained NO-

VA’s expansion of the polyethyl-

ene reactor site (PE1 project) will

keep things such as their long-

term water usage and gaseous

emission predictions still well

within a previously designated

limit that has been approved by

Alberta Environment and Sus-

tainable Resource Development.

He explained although there

will be a small increase in air

emissions and water usage, the

work done to re-model furnaces

and to input a highly energy ef-

fi cient PE1 reactor will, “Have no

adverse effects that will affect our

land boundary or the Red Deer

River.”

The work done with the PE1

expansion on the Joffre site has

undergone environmental moni-

toring and will continue to do so.

Van Hemmen said that NOVA is,

“Looking at wherever (they) can

to fi nd the best commercially

available technology and miti-

gate any potential environmen-

tal effects. We have built into our

site monitoring programs, long-

term programs – air monitoring

equipment at various locations

throughout the site and we really

will continue to make sure that

we’re staying well within our en-

vironmental restrictions.

“We stay very plugged into our

surrounding communities. For

one thing, so they can under-

stand the things we’ve tried to do

as proactively as possible but also

to get their insights and inputs,”

he said. “They might be con-

cerned at what they’re seeing as

the projects go on, but we have a

constant back and forth with our

community members.”

So far, the facilities have seen

the completion of underground

piping, the development of me-

chanical and electrical instal-

lations and currently, a focus

on the installation of concrete

foundations for the third reactor

which was successfully delivered

to the site earlier this year.

At the completion of this proj-

ect in 2016, NOVA expects to see

the creation of between 25-35 per-

manent jobs, signifi cant econom-

ic benefi ts due to more effi cient

reactor sites and furnaces and a

capital cost just over $1 billion -

most of which is being spent on

Alberta labour costs and product

purchasing done in Alberta.

“In order to allow the expan-

sion of PE1 to operate at its full

capacity, E1 and E2 will have to

come up to 100 per cent rates and

run there continuously in the fu-

ture. But it turns out our E2 plant

had some very signifi cant main-

tenance requirements in our fur-

nace area. Those furnaces in E2

were built back in 1984 and some

portions of that furnace are going

to need to be cut out and replaced

because they are at the end of life.

“This was an opportunity for

us for furnace refurbishment to

bring our furnace capacity and

our technology up. We also are

doing this in a way that allows

us to implement energy effi cient

improvements and so these are

important upgrades for us. It’s

typically in expansion projects or

major capital upgrades that we

have the opportunity to do these

types of upgrades.”

The portions of the furnaces

that need to be replaced are in a

section that is designed to recov-

er as much residual heat out of

the furnace as possible, making

it less wasteful. As these convec-

tion sections are being replaced,

the burners in the furnaces will

also see work to become what is

called ‘low-NOx burners’, said

Van Hemmen.

This means that less of the

various oxides of nitrogen will

be released into the environment

during the combustion process

of the furnaces. These oxides are

air pollutants that help form acid

rain, contribute to global warm-

ing and impede the growth of

plant life.

In addition to the project’s fo-

cus on effi cient production stan-

dards, sustainability has been

a focus of NOVA Chemicals. As

the PE1 Expansion Project moves

along, so will the PE1 Expansion

Legacy Project which is the pro-

active development of several

wetland areas surrounding the

Joffre site.

“We have a very strong re-

focus on sustainability within

NOVA Chemicals over the last

couple of years. We are a respon-

sible care company and we have

been for almost 30 years now.

That’s really about going above

and beyond meeting regulatory

standards, and always taking on

continuous improvements. The

whole responsible care initiative

has added sustainability as a big-

ger subset of its requirements for

people that are members of the

Chemistry Industry Association

of Canada.”

The purpose of the legacy proj-

ect is to create a trail system that

incorporates picnic areas, refor-

estation initiatives and to support

municipal and provincial initia-

tives to preserve and enhance

wetland areas.

The PE1 Expansion Project is

set to be complete with start-up

occurring in the summer of 2016.

Another local link to the

Trans Canada Trail has

been completed.

On Sept. 19th, trail lovers

and dignitaries gathered

at the Abbey Centre to of-

fi cially open the latest link

of the Trans Canada Trail

at the Abbey Centre in

Blackfalds, the only indoor

link of the nation-wide trail

in the country.

This new link completes

the trails connecting Black-

falds to Lacombe and Red

Deer and as former Cen-

tral Alberta Regional Trail

Society (CARTS) President

Debbie Olsen commented,

will eventually connect to

the entire nation.

“Eventually, it will con-

nect Central Albertans

with the rest of the country

as well,” said Olsen. “So it

really is an exciting thing.”

Current CARTS Presi-

dent Paul Pettypiece

agreed.

“It is indeed a pleasure

to be here today to see this

exciting development come

to fruition and have this

grand opening,” said Pet-

typiece.

In addition to Olsen and

Pettypiece, several other

dignitaries made addresses

at the opening, including

MLA Rod Fox, Lacombe

Mayor Steve Christie, La-

combe County Reeve Paula

Law and of course Black-

falds Mayor Melodie Stol.

Many of the speakers

commented on the unique-

ness of the trail with Fox

commenting that the in-

door link was the only one

in the country.

Other speakers, like Law

commented on the strong

partnerships that made the

trail link a reality.

“This connectivity high-

lights how much each com-

munity works together

with its neighbours to

develop one continuous

trail,” said Law. “Lacombe

County is proud to be a

neighbour of Blackfalds

and this trail is one ex-

ample of our continuous

partnership of working

together to achieve a com-

mon goal.”

Christie had similar feel-

ings to express. “This trail

supplies and provides yet

another connection be-

tween our communities

that regional collaboration

is alive and well right here

in Central Alberta.”

During Stol’s address,

she revealed that a sponsor

for the Trans Canada Trail

link at the Abbey Centre

had been found with Krest

Homes stepping up to do-

nate $100,000 to the Town

of Blackfalds.

“I get to announce some-

thing very special today,”

said Stol. “I’m just so

thrilled today to announce

that sponsorship has come

forward.”

After the speeches there

was a ribbon cutting cer-

emony where the trail was

declared offi cially open fol-

lowed by a cake cutting and

celebratory luncheon.

Following the formal

program, Law, Christie and

Stol continued to speak of

how important regional

partnerships and collabo-

ration were to the comple-

tion of this project.

“I don’t think you can do

anything like this on your

own,” said Stol.

Law agreed. “You know,

we can all choose to do

things individually,” said

Law. “But we can do big-

ger and better and greater

things if we choose to work

with partnership and coop-

eration and this is a prime

example of it.”

Christie said what’s also

important is recognition of

the user-ship and the ad-

vantages of having some-

thing like this in their com-

munities.

“User-ship from not only

our own communities but

bringing people from other

communities into our re-

gion is very, very impor-

tant to us so if we can work

together to make that hap-

pen it just works out great.”

Domestic violence is more than

bruises – it is a psychological battle

between fear, love, confusion and

self-awareness.

There are so many aspects to

abuse that people simply do not un-

derstand until they are in that situ-

ation themselves or see the cycle

develop with a loved one.

Domestic violence isn’t just

about beatings or yelling – it is

about being broken down as a per-

son and being convinced you are

worth nothing more than some-

one’s anger.

There is no answer to why people

abuse others or as to why victims

stay or leave their abusers. The

many factors that infl uence the

relationship between abuser and

abused include fear, love, money,

family and all sorts of other fac-

tors.

It is diffi cult to know where to

start this discussion, so I’ll start at

the beginning of a cycle of abuse.

When a person is living in a cycle

of abuse, it does not begin with

bruises. It begins with a relation-

ship – either a friendship, or most

commonly a romance. Somehow,

one person gives their trust to an-

other.

Next there is an initial incident.

Maybe it starts off as an argument

and ends in a physical fi ght. Maybe

it starts with a manipulative com-

ment that insults a person’s beliefs

or values or self-worth.

After that initial moment that

makes a person say ‘Woah, what

was that?’ there is manipulation

from the abuser. They say sorry

and beg for forgiveness. Some-

times, they say nothing at all, in

a way to manipulate people into

thinking they deserved it (which

nobody ever, ever does).

This is how a cycle develops.

There is a trust and a relationship

that keeps people together. Some-

times men and women are ‘so in

love that it hurts’ and they just

can’t imagine that their loved one

could hurt them again. People will

make excuses such as the abuser

had a bad day and they didn’t mean

the things they said, or he’s always

had a temper or she’s always been

controlling – it’s just their person-

ality.

So many thoughts occur to a per-

son before they consider the fact

that this person they trust is abu-

sive. Throughout a cycle of abuse,

a person will start to see signs and

patterns and triggers.

Abusers will often try to isolate

their victim from friends, fam-

ily, community supports and from

their own self-confi dence. People

who stay in abusive relationships

are not stupid, or weak or deserv-

ing. They are afraid and often times

have to think of all kinds of aspects

and consequences for leaving.

Factors such as fi nance and shel-

ter can affect a person’s decision

to leave – which, by the way, does

not ensure the abuse stops. Lots of

times, that makes the abuser an-

grier. Children can be another ma-

jor reason for a person staying in

an abusive relationship, especially

if the children are related biologi-

cally to both people in the rela-

tionship. Having kids can be scary

because there is an entire world

of fi nancial obligations that come

with a child and most do not want

to be a single parent.

If you see someone in a cycle of

abuse, the worst thing you can do is

say, ‘Well just be brave and leave.’

I’m sure that a victim would love

to pack up their life and never look

back but it isn’t always so simple.

The best thing to do in a situa-

tion where one recognizes a cycle

of abuse is to ask how you can help

that person. Maybe a lunch meet-

ing once or twice a week can help

them gain confi dence, or expand

their now-minimal contact with

people outside of the relationship.

Maybe you can help them print re-

sumes to apply for a job that will

allow them to become fi nancially

stable.

Maybe all they need is to talk

out their plan. There are so many

aspects to leaving an abusive rela-

tionship to consider – important

documents from the home, where

will they live? Where will they

work? How can they afford child-

care?

The other side of abuse is that

sometimes it comes from family

members – siblings, cousins, par-

ents, what have you. Imagine what

it would be like to be afraid of your

family. Leaving is not an easy op-

tion. What people need to under-

stand is that abuse is not a black

and white issue. It is scary as hell,

complex and full of diffi cult deci-

sions. The best way to deal with

abuse is to empower the victim and

recognize the signs of abuse before

it goes too far.

Stop perpetuating the idea that

some people deserve their abuse,

or are too stupid or weak to do

something about it. Instead of say-

ing, ‘Why are you staying?’ say

‘How can I help you?’ and consider

the many factors that are involved

when fl eeing an abusive relation-

ship.

Don’t ask them to explain or jus-

tify their life – just do what you can

to help them.

A new Alberta. That’s what Al-

berta’s new premier, Jim Prentice,

promised us when he was elected.

So far, he has been true to his word.

Prentice began to make good on

his promises soon after assuming

offi ce, disbanding the existing cabi-

net and replacing it with a smaller,

easier to manage group of 20. He

also caused controversy by includ-

ing two unelected members in the

cabinet, but no one can say that

such a move doesn’t demonstrate

new perspective when it comes to

forming a government.

It didn’t take long for Prentice

to follow up his cabinet announce-

ment by announcing that Alberta

would be selling its government

planes, the source of much frustra-

tion among Alberta residents and

perhaps the fi nal straw that led to

Redford’s resignation.

It would seem that selling Al-

berta’s government fl eet would be

a move that everyone agreed with,

but of course Wildrose Party lead-

er Danielle Smith still criticized it,

saying that the sale of the govern-

ment’s planes is something that

should have done long before.

While we agree that there was

never any real reason for Alberta’s

government to have its own fl eet,

Redford left Prentice with one heck

of a mess to clean up and he should

be applauded for his efforts so far.

Yes, it’s the opposition’s job to

disagree with the government but

there comes a time when the “bet-

ter late than never” argument is

appropriate.

Prentice announced the govern-

ment will scrap the plans to rede-

sign Alberta’s licence plate. This is

a move that does not deserve any

kind of criticism.

In scrapping redesign, Prentice

has demonstrated he does not plan

to play politics and is listening to

the people. He has shown that the

government’s goals occasionally

align with those of opposition par-

ties and it is possible for them to

work together in the future.

In politics, something we see far

too much of is an ‘us versus them’

mentality. Sometimes it is neces-

sary for political parties to dis-

agree, but it is also necessary for

them to work together, something

that many would deem impossible

by listening to Alberta’s offi cial

opposition. By no means has Pren-

tice completely healed the dam-

age caused by his predecessors or

restored faith in the Progressive

Conservative Party of Alberta. All

of the province will still be watch-

ing them like hawks.

But, he has had made good on his

promises. Since long before Pren-

tice was elected, loud shouts from

Alberta’s opposition parties said

that changing the party’s leader,

as has been done in the past, would

not change anything within the

party. That a new face would not

make a difference in the way the

province is governed.

Prentice is clearly proving them

wrong.

What domestic violence really does mean

M E N D O N S A



This past week has been

very busy for Lacombe

Fire, Blackfalds Fire, La-

combe Police and Black-

falds RCMP, Red Deer EMS

and Lacombe EMS.

On Sept. 25th at approxi-

mately 11:30 a.m., Lacombe

Fire was dispatched to a

vehicle fi re on the QEII

Hwy. involving an aerial

lift truck just north of the

Hwy. 12 overpass, but were

quickly able to bring the

situation under control.

The previous night, La-

combe Fire, Lacombe Po-

lice and Lacombe EMS re-

sponded to a motor vehicle

versus pedestrian collision

where a 22-year-old woman

was struck at the intersec-

tion of 50 Ave. and 50 St. in

Lacombe at approximately

10:30 p.m.

The woman suffered

serious though not life-

threatening injuries to her

lower body, police say.

She was transported

from the scene to the La-

combe Airport via ground

ambulance and was then

air-lifted by STARS Air

Ambulance to hospital for

treatment.

Insp. Lorne Blumhagen

of the Lacombe Police Ser-

vice said that the LPS is

working in collaboration

with Blackfalds RCMP re-

garding the incident and

the investigation is ongo-

ing but did confi rm that the

collision was a hit and run.

He added that further in-

formation will be released

from Blackfalds RCMP

when it becomes available.

On Sept. 22nd, Lacombe

Fire responded to a single-

vehicle rollover just south

of Morningside on Hwy. 2A

near the Exit 437 overpass.

While the initial call

indicated that there was

one patient trapped in the

rolled vehicle, fi refi ght-

ers learned on arrival that

there were in fact two pa-

tients, neither of whom

were trapped in the vehicle.

Lacombe Fire Chief Ed

van Delden said that it is

not unusual for confl icting

information to be verifi ed

on-scene as dispatchers

are working quickly with

minimal information about

incidents and do not always

have clear details.

“You will often hear us on

the radio confi rming what

we have when we arrive,”

said van Delden. “That is

so units know what we ac-

tually have versus what it

was called in as.”

Two patients were re-

moved without need of

extrication tools and trans-

ported to hospital.

Earlier Monday morn-

ing, Lacombe Fire was

dispatched and then stood

down after reports of a ve-

hicle versus pedestrian col-

lision in Blackfalds.

Blackfalds RCMP later

released a statement de-

tailing that the reports

of a 10-year-old girl being

struck by a motor vehicle

were erroneous and in fact

the collision had involved

two vehicles with one col-

liding with the rear of the

other. One passenger did

sustain minor injuries but

no child or pedestrian was

hit in the collision.

Also Monday morning, a

skateboarder was struck by

a motor vehicle on Hwy. 2A

near the Blindman River

and sustained serious but

non life-threatening inju-

ries. Blackfalds RCMP and

Blackfalds Fire attended

the scene. This incident is

still being investigated.

Meanwhile, on Sept. 17th

after 10:30 p.m., Lacombe

Fire was dispatched to the

Canadian University Col-

lege and Parkview Adven-

tist Academy campus for a

fi re investigation.

van Delden said no active

fi re was discovered but an

appliance was taken out of

service as a result of the in-

vestigation.

Earlier that day, La-

combe Fire, Blackfalds

Fire and EMS crews had

responded to a three-vehi-

cle collision on QEII Hwy.

northbound, just south of

the Blackfalds overpass.

Originally, STARS had

been dispatched to the

scene but was stood down

after emergency crews

were able to determine that

patient injuries were not as

severe as initially believed.

Lacombe Fire members

were able to use extrica-

tion tools to remove two

doors and a support from

a pickup truck that had

rolled into the ditch and re-

moved one trapped passen-

ger who was transported

via ground ambulance to

hospital for treatment of

serious but non life-threat-

ening injuries.

Two other vehicles, a van

and a small car, were also

involved in the collision.

There were some pa-

tients transported to hos-

pital from the van but none

were trapped and the small

car received only minor

damage.

WINA SHARE OF

YOU COULD*

Dr. Gifford

J O N E S

As a male, have you lost

the “tiger-in-the-tank?”

Possibly you are more

irritable, suffer insomnia,

have problems at work,

lost height, lack energy

and lack erections? Now

you wonder if testosterone

therapy is what’s needed.

Mae West, the movie sex

queen of long ago, knew

what made men, men. She

greeted them with a sultry

voice, “Is that a gun in your

pocket, or are you happy to

see me?”

I fi rst became interested

in what’s often called ‘The

big T’ years ago when I

interviewed Dr. Malcolm

Carruthers at a conference

on aging in London, Eng-

land. Carruthers, a Harley

Street specialist, was one of

the early pioneers in testos-

terone therapy.

During the interview I

met one of his patients who

had just received a second

testosterone injection. He

admitted to me that, follow-

ing the fi rst injection, he

had made love three times

in 24 hours! Needless to

say, he was a happy camp-

er, and if you want to be

shot by a jealous lover at 95

years of age, this is the way

to achieve that goal!

But will you reach 95 if

you take testosterone? It’s

been aptly said, “All would

be well if there were no

‘buts’.”

The problem is there has

always been, and still is, a

debate as to whether a tes-

tosterone boost increases

the risk of prostate cancer,

stroke or heart attack.

Carruthers has treated

over 2,000 men with testos-

terone. He says, “The myth

about testosterone being

linked to prostate cancer

has been deeply rooted in

medical consciousness for

over 60 years without this

happening.”

But what about the #1

killer, heart attack? I also

interviewed Dr. Peter Col-

lins, professor of Cardiol-

ogy at the Imperial College

of Science and Medicine

in London. He is a leading

expert on testosterone and

coronary heart disease.

Collins, like Carruthers,

believes linking testos-

terone to heart attack is

wrong. In fact, he claims

evidence shows normal

amounts of testosterone

protect against it.

Collins’ research shows

testosterone increases

coronary blood fl ow by as

much as 15 to 20%.

This is why patients suf-

fering from angina (heart

pain that increases with

exercise) can be helped by

testosterone treatment. In

addition, testosterone also

decreases blood cholesterol

and fi brinogen, the small

particles that form blood

clots. Dr. Eugene Shippen,

a U.S. expert on testoster-

one pathology, claims those

suffering from erectile

dysfunction (ED) are often

usually suffering from low

blood testosterone. These

men, he claims, are two

to three times more likely

to suffer a heart attack or

stroke. This evidence sup-

plements the work of Dr.

Steven Grover, Professor of

Medicine at McGill Univer-

sity, Montreal. He suggests,

“Impotence is the alarm

bell for a heart attack.”

He adds that, “In ap-

proximately 25 per cent of

cardiovascular patients,

their fi rst symptom of

heart disease is that they

drop dead.” This is not an

encouraging warning and

all the more reason to fi nd

a sign to indicate an attack

is imminent.

Dr. Grover’s study com-

pared 4,000 men with and

without cardiovascular

disease. It showed that men

with this problem had a 54

per cent chance of having

ED than those without car-

diovascular disease.

Also not well known is

that testosterone helps to

fi ght one of the nation’s big

killers, diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes patients

often develop insulin re-

sistance. They possess ad-

equate amounts of insulin,

but their cells refuse to

accept it. Testosterone in-

creases the effectiveness of

insulin.

It’s time again for the an-

nual Gull Lake Adventure

Race.

Now going into its third

year, the three phase race

is a fundraiser for the Gull

Lake Centre’s Leadership

Training and Discipleship

program.

Steve Roadhouse, execu-

tive director at Gull Lake

Centre, said he came up

with the idea after a col-

league, who had partici-

pated in an adventure race

in the mountains and sug-

gested that the camp do

something similar.

Roadhouse modifi ed the

race so that it would work

at Gull Lake Centre and the

Adventure Race was born.

“Basically, I just took

everything that I love and

smashed it into one event,”

said Roadhouse.

Racers start the race

with a cycling phase.

Second, there is an orien-

teering phase where racers

use orienteering skills to

guide their teams to differ-

ent activity stations.

Finally, there is the head-

to-head phase where race

teams face off against each

other in a number of fun

activities and games.

Gull Lake Adventure

Race was started to help

fund Gull Lake Centre’s

Leadership Training and

Discipleship program.

Roadhouse said that the

program is important to

train today’s kids to be to-

morrow’s leaders and in

particular, mentors.

“I hope what sets our pro-

gram apart a little bit is its

focus on mentorship,” said

Roadhouse. “I think that’s

something that our culture

is sorely lacking right now.

I don’t know many people

who have had someone that

is older, wiser and more

mature take them under

their wings and say, ‘I’ve

been down this road, I want

to help you walk down this

road too’.”

Mentorships benefi t both

people involved in the rela-

tionship as well, said Road-

house.

He added that he himself

has three mentors and is

mentoring three different

people, saying that those

relationships are some of

the richest relationships

that he has.

People often think they

can do everything on their

own and that asking for

help is a sign of weakness,

said Roadhouse.

“We want to be inde-

pendent, we want to kind

of make our own way and

asking for help can be dif-

fi cult,” said Roadhouse. “So

there is something really

beautiful about a mentor-

ship where both people re-

alize they are getting some

value out of it.”

Gull Lake Centre’s Lead-

ership Training and Dis-

cipleship (LTD) program

is a three year program

for high school students.

It begins with one week of

training where they learn

how to run camp, but Road-

house said the real training

takes place during their

practical segments where

they help run camp.

Roadhouse said that

when trainees in the pro-

gram come to help run the

camp during the summer,

they are not given a set job,

but a mentor and they do

whatever that mentor does.

He added that each week of

the year they get a different

mentor so they get experi-

ence with different men-

tors doing different things.

Students are mentored

outside of the summer as

well.

Roadhouse said students

in the program are respon-

sible to contact their men-

tors throughout the year,

set up meetings and build

that relationship.

Roadhouse said that

there is a minimum for

students to participate

in the program for three

weeks during the summer

and they can participate

in as many as eight weeks.

Add this to three weekend

retreats included in the

program and time spent

completing projects with

mentors throughout the

year, and students in the

LTD training could invest

as many as 500 hours a year

into the program.

The purpose of the pro-

gram, said Roadhouse, is to

create more mentors in the

world.

“Afterwards, because

they have been mentored,

they will be mentors,” said

Roadhouse.

“We are training men-

tors, which will hopefully

have a pretty signifi cant

ripple effect going out from

here.”

While the program is ex-

tremely valuable, it is also

quite expensive to run.

Roadhouse said the pro-

gram costs $90,000 to run

each year.

Gull Lake Adventure

Race aims to recover a

third of that cost.

Every year, racers are

given a welcome package

and have the chance to win

prizes. Roadhouse said that

this year’s prizes include

GoPro cameras, Camel-

backs, Garmin watches and

other cool outdoor gear.

So far, there are seven

teams registered in the

race. Roadhouse said he

would like to see between

10 and 16 teams signed up

by race weekend.

Back to school traffi c safety tips

The Lacombe Police Service would like to remind motorists

to pay extra attention to school buses and pedestrian traffi c

coming and going from the buses. The most common off ence

motorists commit is “failing to stop for a school bus” and this

can result in a fi ne upon conviction. The fi ne for this off ence is

$402 plus 6 demerit points.

The Lacombe Police Service recommends the following tips

for motorists when approaching a school bus that is preparing

to stop:

• When approaching the bus from the opposite direction,

ensure that you stop at a safe distance away from the front

of the bus.

• When approaching the bus from behind, we recommend that

you stop at least 20 metres away from the back of the bus.

• Once the lights have stopped fl ashing and the safety

arm folds away and the bus begins to move, it is safe to

continue driving.

• Motorists must also remember to obey the speed limits in

the school zones. The speed limit in a school zone is 30 km

per hour. The school zone hours are in eff ect weekdays from;

8:00 am – 9:30 am

11:30 am – 1:30 pm

3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Fines for speeding in a school zone start are 1 km over the

speed limit and the fi nes start at $57.00 and the amount

increases for every 1km over.

BOLT Bus passes now availableResidents are advised the monthly regional and local passes

for BOLT Transit are now available for purchase at City Hall

(5432-56 Avenue) and the Mary C. Moore Public Library in the

Lacombe Memorial Centre. There are also plans to off er the

Riders are reminded that fares are not valid for travel within

Red Deer beyond the three approved stops: 78 Street; Parkland

Mall; and Sorensen Station. If travelling within Red Deer, BOLT

riders will have to purchase a transfer onto the Red Deer

Transit system.

Residents can ride BOLT Transit for free until September 30,

2014. For more information on fares and bus routes, please

Reminders

Coff ee with Council sessions are held semi-annually to

give Council an opportunity to interact with residents in

a relaxed atmosphere, and to give residents a chance to

meet their Council members, and to bring forward any

concerns, ideas and suggestions regarding civic aff airs.

Council had decided earlier in the year to align the

sessions of the Coff ee with Council sessions with existing

community events. This way the sessions are able to reach

a wider cross-section of people, while not taking them

away from busy schedules to attend separate functions.

The fall session of the 2014 Coff ee with Council took

place on September 9 during the Active Living Fair at the

Lacombe Memorial Centre. Public turnout at the event

was great, with approximately 80 people stopping by the

City booth to enjoy coff ee and snacks, and to speak their

minds to members of Council and senior staff . Community

Services staff were also on hand to provide program

information and brochures.

Some of the most asked about topics at the fall Coff ee with

Council session included the new BOLT Transit system,

renovations to the Barnett Arena, and questions about

construction of the new police station. Residents brought

forward concerns around crosswalks and pedestrian safety; traffi c

congestion in the downtown area; perceptions of unsightly

premises; poorly maintained alleys and parking lots; and

unsightly vegetation on undeveloped and vacant lots.

Concerns were also raised regarding the lack of a dog park;

overly steep tax increases and late penalties; expanding the new

regional public transit service; and the continuing lack of retail

shopping options. There were worries around response times

from the new police facility planned on the east side of the

railroad tracks, should a long train block all three intersections.

Citizens also expressed their appreciation for the launch of BOLT

Transit, the Maple Drive upgrades, and the addition of stoplights

and crosswalks to improve traffi c fl ow and pedestrian safety. Ideas

were put forth around extending the 30 kilometre per hour zone

on Highway 12 to include the Outreach School; to add a walking

track in the arena renovations; and to use the ECHO Energy

profi ts to off set tax increases.

“I would like to recognize the eff orts our residents have made to

interact with Council, staff and myself on topical issues within

the city,” said Mayor Steve Christie. “This level of dialogue is

very helpful in promoting a holistic approach to making the

community the best it can be.”

City staff gathered resident feedback at the event into a report for

Council’s review and consideration. A complete summary of the

resident feedback received, and subsequent Council responses,

can be found at www.lacombe.ca.

Coffee with Council sessions provide valuable citizen feedback

A citizen-centred approach to municipal budgeting

The City of Lacombe is affi rming its

commitment to an open, transparent and

citizen-centered approach by including

public participation in the annual budget

process. For the fi rst time ever, written

submissions were accepted from the

public and evaluated by Council for costing

consideration and inclusion into the 2015

Budget.

“Council initiated the Citizen Submission

program in order to engage with our

residents, and to solicit their comments and

suggestions regarding citizen priorities for

next year’s budget,” said Mayor Steve Christie.

“We will continue to encourage an open,

ongoing dialogue with the community

pertaining to issues facing our city.”

The municipality introduced this new

component to the budget process in May

2014. Residents were asked to share their ideas with Council before

September 1, 2014. Sixteen submissions, containing 28 ideas, were

received for Council’s evaluation.

After conducting a careful review, Council has requested that staff

provide costing for seven approved ideas for further consideration

and possible inclusion in the 2015 budget. The citizen-submitted

ideas include (in no particular order):

•A walk-through entrance to Heritage Park.

• An observation deck/wharf/boardwalk/canoe launch at the

northeast corner of Cranna Lake near the parking lot.

• A park setting with benches, trees, and fl owers on the south side

of Cranna Lake.

•A waterslide at the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre.

•Sidewalks and a stop sign along Fairway Drive.

•Crosswalk lights at 54 Avenue and 58 Street.

•Employing youth for walking trail maintenance.

Once project costing is available, Council will continue to evaluate

and prioritize the seven submissions for further consideration and

possible inclusion into next year’s budget. Please keep in mind that

due to fi nancial and other constraints, not all projects will make it

into the fi nal budget.

When the approved budget is presented to the public in

December, the status of each successful submission will be

highlighted in the fi nal budget report.

Fall Community Cleanup CampaignThe fall Community Cleanup Campaign will be held from

October 14-23, 2014. The semi-annual campaign provides

residents with an opportunity to dispose of household and

yard refuse that cannot be placed out for regular collection.

The campaign starts on the Tuesday after the Thanksgiving

holiday long weekend. Residents are asked to place their

refuse items out for disposal at the front of their properties by

7 a.m. on the day their area is scheduled for pick-up. Refuse

must be organized and separated into piles for pick-up. Please

do not pile waste items on sidewalks, streets or alleys.

Any items left on the property or placed out after the

scheduled pick up date will remain the responsibility of the

property owner. City crews will not return after they have

completed pick up in the area. Items not picked up can then

be taken to the Prentiss Transfer Station.

Please visit www.lacombe.ca/communitycleanup for more

information on acceptable items and area collection schedules.

The Lacombe Raiders bantam football

team took on the Lindsay Thurber Bantam

Raiders last week and were able to defeat

their opponents 56-30.

Both teams put forth a tremendous ef-

fort, and for a while, it looked like Lindsay

Thurber would remain in the lead. “To

be down 24 points, at 24-nothing at half

time, the kids all sort of realized that they

weren’t living up to their potential and

they did that in their second half,” said

Darren Gagnon, co-coach of the Lacombe

Raiders.

In the fi rst half of the game, the pros-

pects looked slim.

The Lindsay Thurber Raiders secured

three touchdowns by half time that en-

abled them a lead of 24-0. The Thurber

Raiders had a very strong offensive game.

The Lacombe Raiders thought they had

brought the score back up with a touch-

down, but a fl ag was thrown and the play

was given a penalty, ruling the touchdown

illegal.

“I believe in our kids, after the fi rst three

games we had, where we won quite hand-

ily, were quite over-confi dent. I think that

we have a very young team, an inexperi-

enced team and they thought they were

great,” said Gagnon.

“They played a great team today from

Lindsay Thurber and all of a sudden they

realized they had to keep fi ghting. It does

say a lot about the team and the character

that they came back in the second half and

played like they can play.”

Although they were down, the Lacombe

Raiders were able to make some incred-

ible plays during the fi rst half of the game.

Late in the second quarter, the Lacombe

defense held its ground from roughly fi ve

yards from their end-zone, and were able

to continue to push the Red Deer Raiders

back to almost centre fi eld.

The Lacombe defense was working very

hard that quarter, and was able to com-

plete several passes. In the third quarter,

however, the team refocused and Richard

Jans was able to secure a touchdown for

Lacombe.

Also in that same quarter, Logan El-

lis scored a touchdown after intercepting

a catch and running over 50 yards to the

end-zone.

Notable players in this quarter also in-

cluded player Evan Standish, who made

some daring catches that surprised and

excited the crowd. By the end of the third

quarter, the Lacombe Raiders had made

an incredible rebound and tied the game

24-24. Gagnon said that he does not think

the Raiders have just one or two stars, but

is a great team as a whole.

“We have a few players that are above av-

erage, but it’s about many, many of them

playing together and that’s what makes

this team great,” he said.

The greatness continued into the fi nal

quarter where a fi erce back and forth to se-

cure fi rst downs took place. One player was

able to intercept a catch and gain 15 yards

which brought Simon Gray the placement

he needed to secure another touchdown

from the three yard line.

The game looked like it would be close

although the Lacombe Raiders were catch-

ing up quickly. There was a lot of the ball

switching hands as each team pushed for

more than a couple downs.

A second incredible run of the side of

Lacombe took player number 10 over 50

yards, just as Ellis did earlier in the game.

This play was what secured Lacombe 46-24,

although Red Deer quickly brought their

score up again to 30.

In the last two minutes of the fi nal quar-

ter, a fi nal play was made by Lacombe that

brought the fi nal score to 56-30, with La-

combe coming out on top.

“All the coaches that come out here ev-

ery day, we all do it together. All the kids

show up and we can all be proud that we

learned a bit and this will probably make

us better,” said Gagnon. He said he was

proud to see his team push hard to bring in

another winning game.

Next weekend, runners from across the

province will come to Lacombe to pay their

respects to the man who was instrumental

in the building of Lacombe’s trail system.

On Oct. 4th, Lacombe will honour the

memory of Bill Nielsen with Bill’s Trail

Run, a memorial run with 10k, 5k, 2k and

2k family routes.

Nielsen was born in Montreal and moved

to Lacombe in 1990. He had taken up run-

ning at the age of 40 and was an advocate

for physical fi tness.

He was also instrumental in the creation

of Lacombe’s trail system.

In April of this year, Nielsen died from

pancreatic cancer at the age of 73. Now,

a group of his friends and fellow runners

have come up with Bill’s Trail Run as a

way to remember him.

“He left us the legacy of the trails,” said

Diane Foster, one of the organizers for

Bill’s Trail Run. “It’s so beautiful around

there, you forget you are even in Lacombe.”

Foster added Nielsen has touched a lot

of lives and inspired many people to run.

Therefore, many people from outside La-

combe will be coming to honour him.

“We have people coming from all over

Alberta,” said Foster. “Not only local tal-

ent, not only people who knew Bill but

people who know of our trails.”

Rory Whitbread, a fellow runner and

close friend of Nielsen’s, spoke of how

Nielsen inspired him to start running.

“I know for me personally he was such

an inspiration when I was getting into run-

ning and I know so many people who have

Bill Nielsen to be remembered through Bill’s Trail Run

FAST BALL - Bill Hagerty of the Airdrie Closers throws a pitch at All Star Park in Blackfalds this past weekend during the Chiefs Slo Pitch Tournament. Kalisha Mendonsa/Lacombe Express

Recently, I had the op-

portunity to see some live

mixed martial arts fi ghts

during the Havoc Fight-

ing Championships in Red

Deer.

The fi ghts were great.

They were exciting, enter-

taining and the fi ghters dis-

played incredible levels of

athleticism in the ring.

Outside of the ring how-

ever, I became acutely

aware of a problem many

of the fans around me were

adding to – smack-talk.

Whenever a fi ghter who

was not from Red Deer en-

tered the ring, the crowd

booed. When a favourite

fi ghter was doing particu-

larly well, someone in the

crowd would shout some-

thing like, “Yeah! Break his

neck!”

And when Luis Huete

made short work of Red

Deer fi ghter Wolfgang Jen-

sen in the main event of

the evening, some fans of

Jensen even stood up and

shouted obscenities.

Smack-talk has no place

in any sport (particularly

MMA, where there is al-

ready a problem of people

viewing it as a thuggish

blood sport). Yet, it can

be observed in almost all

sports and in my opinion,

is a real problem.

Thankfully, it is a prob-

lem mostly propagated by

fans of sports, and not the

athletes themselves.

Unfortunately, it’s also

the fans that sports have

the least control over.

A coach can pull unruly

players off the fi eld and

have them warm the bench

for awhile when they start

spouting off at the mouth.

However, until fans start

being genuinely abusive,

there is little anyone can do

about their rude behaviour.

Sportsmanship is defi ned

as the ethos that sports

should be enjoyed for their

own sake, with proper con-

sideration for fairness,

ethics, respect and a sense

of fellowship with one’s

competitors. Anything

contrary to such conduct

is unsportsmanlike and

behaviour of the sort of

people we like to refer to as

‘sore losers.’ Smack-talk is

the furthest thing from the

defi nition of sportsman-

ship that I can think of and

therefore should have no

place in sports.

[email protected]

Sports has no place for smack-talk

the same story,” said Whitbread. “He’s just

such an inspiring guy and he was more

than happy to give tips here and there with

people who were just starting out. There

are a lot of people who are runners today

thanks to Bill.”

Neil Harker, another close friend of

Nielsen’s, also commented on Nielsen’s

willingness to help out anyone new to the

sport of running. “He was a friend to any-

one who wanted to run,” said Harker.

Whitbread actually ran the Boston Mar-

athon in Nielsen’s name this past April

just a short time before he died. Having

the words ‘4 Bill’ written on his arm while

running was a source of encouragement

for Whitbread, he said. He added that as

he was running, spectators would call out,

“For Bill!” allowing him to push through

the tough parts of the race.

“That was very uplifting for me,” said

Whitbread.

Actually, Whitbread added one of the

last things Nielsen said to anyone was just

after learning Whitbread’s time when he

came across the fi nish line.

Nielsen gave Whitbread a faster time to

match, one of Nielsen’s own times from

when he competed in the Boston Mara-

thon. “(Nielsen) said that I would have to

go back to Boston just to try to knock a few

minutes off to match his time,” said Whit-

bread. “I might have to do it now.”

In 1980, Nielsen completed his fi rst mar-

athon. By the end of his running career, he

would complete 100 marathons including

the Boston Marathon, New York Marathon

and Chicago Marathon.

In the 1990s, Nielsen moved to Lacombe

and almost immediately set about building

Lacombe’s trail system, said Foster.

She added that in addition to being in-

strumental in the design and construction

of Lacombe’s trails, Nielsen was also in-

volved in getting funding for the outdoor

fi tness equipment installed around Cran-

na Lake. “He was a volunteer, if there was

anything you needed done, he got it done,”

said Foster.

Even after being diagnosed with Parkin-

son’s in 2000, Nielsen continued to run. Of

the 100 races he ran, Nielsen fi nished fi rst

in his age category 37 times, 18 of them

consecutively. Foster said 134 participants

have signed up for Bill’s Trail Run so far,

including eight families for the route

around Cranna Lake.

She said registrations remain open and

organizers are still looking for volunteers

to serve as race marshals as well.

Run start time is 10 a.m. and the start/

fi nish line will be at Lacombe Composite

High School. For more information, visit

ARTS & LEISURE

BY MARK WEBERLacombe Express

Described as an electrifying musical

powerhouse, Edmonton-based Rend plays

The Vat in Red Deer on Sept. 30th.

Founded in 2010 by lead singer/songwrit-

er/keyboardist Carol-Lynne Quinn, these

past few years have been a whirlwind jour-

ney and have allowed Rend to see tremen-

dous success in the Canadian music scene.

Rounding out the group are Jeff Quinn

(bass), Steve Roe (electric guitar) and Jor-

dan Dempster (drums).

The current tour, which includes shows

in 13 cities, joins the group with B.C. band

Isobel Trigger. At the end of their tour, to

treat east coasters, Rend will be perform-

ing a special showcase at Indie Week Cana-

da in Toronto in mid-October.

“To tour in Western Canada is extreme-

ly rewarding,” said Carol. “Canada is our

home and connecting with people all over

this country is such an amazing feeling.”

Rend opened Sonic Boom in 2013, and

have performed alongside Mother Mother,

City and Colour, Dear Rouge, Electric Six,

Victoria Duffi eld and Zerbin.

The band aims to create music which in-

spires, excites, and sets them apart. Front

woman Carol’s soulful vocals are coupled

with the band’s rhythmic loops, gritty bass

and electric guitar in their new EP Winter

to Summer album – a compilation of six

songs.

Carol said the band made the decision

to release six tunes instead of a full-length

disc as they felt an urgency to share more

with listeners as soon as they could.

These days, the industry is becoming

more singles-driven in a sense as well, so

it made sense to get new music out sooner

than later. She also recalls the recording of

the songs as a rich, creative stint. “We real-

ly knew the material so well from touring

it a lot.” Tracks were wrapped up within a

month.

“We also didn’t want to keep putting it

off to do a full length CD,” she said. “It just

seems that it’s kind of the age of the single,

too.”

Going into recording Winter to Summer,

she said the band wanted to expand on

their already established foundation. Ear-

ly sounds included touches of rock, funk,

R&B.

“After touring, and honing our sound,

we realized where we are fi tting more and

more. Getting into the EP we wanted to

represent what we are increasingly sound-

ing like, which is more cohesive. We have

this alternative feel, where we sort of get

to play around with what we do.”

The band is charting in the top 100 of

Canadian Rock Radio, and has Canadian

wide radio play. Other standouts include

the title track which glides along with a

polished, sophisticated vibe, melding eas-

ily into the haunting sensibilities of Is It

Just Me which showcases Carol’s crystal-

clear, expressive voice to new heights.

Lamp Post has an lighter, luminous feel

to it – whereas their latest single, the com-

paratively intense Scars, has just been re-

leased to radio.

Plastic Flowers again shows just how

connected and tight this band really is

– again, Carol’s vocal performance is tre-

mendous.

The past four years for the band has been

a whirlwind - in 2013, the band showcased

at Indie Week Canada, Canadian Music

Week and were named Edmonton’s SONiC

102.9 Fan Choice and Band of the Month.

Members joined forces during their stud-

ies at Edmonton’s Grant MacEwan Univer-

sity. After they graduated, they found they

had tapped into something unique. Gigs

were requested around town and it was

clear that Rend was carving out a niche for

themselves.

They recorded their fi rst disc No Lines

only a few months after their fi rst gig and

immediately started receiving radio play.

They had recorded a project earlier,

which Carol said really opened their eyes

to what they could do and the range of pos-

sibilities that were there for the exploring.

The band has been described as having a

‘dash of Metric, a scoop of Coldplay and a

layer of Paramore’ all topped off with The

Cranberries.

Carol’s own passion for music surfaced

early on. She didn’t take music lessons

during her growing up years, but she had

a desire to write her own songs while ex-

perimenting with melodies on the piano. It

was also during time at church and taking

part in school musicals that she found her

voice.

Meanwhile, she can’t wait to hit the

road. “Performing live, and seeing people’s

reactions to the music is the best. You get

to see unbiased opinions and what really

connects with people.”

Joining Rend for the Red Deer show is

alt-pop/rock band Isobel Trigger, which re-

cently released their EP Nocturnal. Their

music video for their third single Cham-

pion has also been posted on YouTube.

Darryl LeCraw, video director for the

band’s fi rst two music videos Dust and

Bones and Tiger Shark, took many creative

liberties with the band’s latest video and

utilized CGI as seen in the fi rst video Dust

and Bones.

LeCraw and the band worked together

from the very beginning to settle on the

video frame by frame, resulting in a prod-

uct that showcases the band’s alt-rock side,

pulling between whimsical and powerful.

ARTS & LEISURE


Three artists from Central Al-

berta with special needs are com-

ing together to offer a brand new

Alberta Culture Days event, the

Thru My Eyes Art Exhibition and

Sale.

Local artist Wayne Spink was

instrumental in starting the

event.

He said that the event is not

just about supporting artists with

special needs, but about support-

ing people with special needs in

general.

“This is about bringing more

awareness to the community

with regards to issues that these

individuals face on a daily basis,”

said Spink.

Retired from his professional

career as an artist, Spink now

works with Lacombe Action

Group. Because of Spink’s own

experience as an artist, Lacombe

Action Group asked him to men-

tor Sheldon Wheatley of Ponoka,

one of the artists featured in

Thru My Eyes. Wheatley often

visited the Ponoka Jubilee Li-

brary to work on his art as it was

an available quiet space.

With his protégé frequently

visiting the library to work, Spink

approached library manager Da-

vid Tremblay to see if the library

would be interested in hosting a

show and sale for Wheatley’s art.

Tremblay took things a step

further and suggested opening up

the event to a few more artists.

That way, the library was also

able to secure an Alberta Culture

Days grant to fund the event.

So, Spink got a few other art-

ists involved as well. In addition

to Wheatley, Thru My Eyes will

feature artists Deborah Torrance

of Sylvan Lake and Wilson Har-

rowby of Red Deer.

“This is actually an amazing

opportunity for all three of these

artists,” said Spink.

In addition to displaying and

selling their artworks at the ex-

hibition, the artists will also be

instructing workshops and per-

forming demos on the opening

day of the exhibition, Sept. 27th.

Wheatley will be teaching a

workshop utilizing copic markers

(his specialty medium), Torrance

a workshop on polymer clay and

Wilson will be doing an art dem-

onstration featuring his favourite

art subject, cars.

“This is a very unique oppor-

tunity that has presented itself,”

said Spink.

Currently, there is only enough

grant funding to hold the event

for one year, but Spink said he

hopes it will become an annual

thing. He said he would like to see

other libraries do similar events

in the years to come as well.

Furthermore, Spink said he

and Tremblay want to see the

event grow. Spink mentioned he

would like to see keynote speak-

ers come in addition to the sales

and workshops during Thru My

Eyes. While the grant funding

for Thru My Eyes currently only

covers the event this year, Spink

said he believes things will come

together for future events if he

stays focused and ignores deter-

rents. “I’m kind of one of these

people that has blinders and ear-

plugs on,” said Spink. “Stay fo-

cused and things materialize.”

Because of the Alberta Culture

grant, all workshops and admis-

sion to the event is free.

Funds from sales of the pieces

will go directly to the artists.

The Thru My Eyes Art Exhibi-

tion and Sale runs from Sept. 27th

– Oct. 18th.

Workshops and demos will take

place on Sept. 27th beginning at 1

p.m. followed by a meet and greet

with the artists at 2:30 p.m. There

are only 10 seats available for

each workshop so please contact

the library to register.

For more information or to

register call the Ponoka Jubilee

Library at 403-782-3843.

Thru My Eyes celebrates artists with special needs

A traditional dessert at

Thanksgiving is pumpkin

pie, but there are so many

other options that would

feel just as seasonal.

One of my favourites is

cranberry bread pudding.

Bread puddings usually uti-

lize leftover stale bread, but

I prefer to use a fresh loaf of

French bread and toast it in

the oven instead.

The results are far supe-

rior.

When it fi rst comes from

the oven it will be puffed

up and beautiful, but don’t

be alarmed to see it shrink

down as it cools, this is nor-

mal.

When it comes to serv-

ing, a premium vanilla

bean ice cream is a wonder-

ful addition. I hope it be-

comes a favorite with your

family too.

Cranberry bread pud-

ding

“A combination of both

fresh and dried cranberries

makes for a fl avourful and

more complex cranberry

taste.”

1 - 454g (1 lb.) French loaf

4 large eggs, beaten

1¼ (one and a quarter)

cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ (one quarter) tsp salt

Zest from 2 lemons, fi ne-

ly chopped

2 cups 10% MF cream

(half and half)

2 cups milk (2% MF or

3.5% homogenized)

¾ cup sweetened dried

cranberries

¾ cup cranberries (fresh

or frozen), halved

Vanilla bean ice cream,

optional

Preheat oven to 400 de-

grees.

Tear the French bread

into approximate one inch

to two inch chunks and

spread evenly on a large

baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 10

minutes, tossing the piec-

es around about halfway

through.

Remove from the oven

and let sit while you pre-

pare the rest of the pud-

ding.

Decrease the oven tem-

perature to 350 degrees and

prepare a 9x13 baking dish

by buttering it.

In a large bowl combine

the eggs, sugar, vanilla,

cinnamon, salt and the zest

thoroughly.

Whisk in the cream and

milk.

Add the toasted bread

pieces and the dried cran-

berries and toss it all to-

gether thoroughly with

your hands.

Let mixture sit for 10

minutes for the bread piec-

es to absorb.

Put one half of the cus-

tard-soaked bread mixture

into the prepared baking

dish and top with half of

the fresh/frozen halved

cranberries.

Add the remaining bread

mixture (and scrape all

liquid from the bowl) to

the dish and top with the

remaining fresh/frozen

halved cranberries.

Bake for approximate-

ly one hour until the top

browns and puffs up.

Also an inserted but-

ter knife should come out

clean.

Let sit for at least 10 to

15 minutes before serving

warm with vanilla bean ice

cream.

Makes 10 to 12 portions.

Design has many faces, moods

and characters.

It is a fl uid almost live entity

that evolves and merges with cur-

rent events and will take on the

life and personality of the demo-

graphic where it resides. If you

are fortunate enough to travel

you will experience many differ-

ent facets of design depending on

where you fi nd yourself visiting.

Considering all aspects of de-

sign, we fondly remember and

still love the classics.

Vehicles, homes and clothing

are all extremely vulnerable to

design changes and fl uctuations

yet we yearn for the days of clas-

sic vehicles and homes. We trek

to distant lands to see the parlors

and ball rooms of yesteryear and

will pay thousands upon thou-

sands to own that superb, vintage

automobile. When we see a perfect

example of Victorian architecture

we involuntarily let out a huge

sigh as we take in the stunning de-

tail and personality of the home.

If we are standing on a street

corner and the thrum of a vin-

tage Mustang convertible catches

our attention, we will stop what

we are doing and wait to catch a

glimpse of this magnifi cent piece

of machinery. If a starlet wears

a vintage Chanel dress to an

awards show it is snapped again

and again by the Paparazzi.

I don’t think any of us are im-

mune to the awe of modern archi-

tecture. It is somewhat of a mir-

acle to see skyscrapers, bridges

and towers that defy the laws of

gravity looming before us.

Even a trip to downtown Cal-

gary is a feast for the eyes as

some of the new structures are

being built.

The shape and use of metal

and glass is breathtaking and for

us mere mortals (not architects)

it is enough of a pleasure just to

be able to gaze upon these mod-

ern works of art. More than just

structures; these buildings are

like giant honeycombs where

thousands of people inhabit, work

and create and beauty is only the

surface of the vibrancy of these

contemporary structures.

In most of us I think there is a

small corner of our mind which

yearns for simplicity.

Have you ever been caught day-

dreaming about a small cabin

in the woods or quiet hut on the

beach?

When I was little I used to

watch Swiss Family Robinson

and would dream of someday liv-

ing in a treehouse on the beach

where I could catch fi sh and roast

it over an open fi re. It may be a

pipe dream and I would probably

only last a few days in true off-

the-grid simplicity but those tiny

self-sustaining homes can be ex-

tremely appealing.

I believe the most important

aspect of design is comfort and

familiarity.

If we have surrounded our-

selves with items and memories,

any place we choose to lay our

heads will feel like home. Those

classic cars may remind us of our

youth and those little cabins may

just bring us back to a soul satis-

fying family vacation. Whatever

our favorites may be, they stir

something deep inside our souls

and give us a thrill just to look or

spend time in them once again.

Design can be many things to

many people and there is no right

answer, no perfect formula. Each

individual must decide what they

crave and what brings them com-

fort and then begin to create their

perfect space from that perspec-

tive.

WORLD EXPLORERBook an exotic cruise vacation with one of our featured cruise lines

Oct 1 - 20 and be rewarded with spectacular Expedia® Extras

TRAVELI left Alberta in early May with

the remains of the latest snowfall

on the ground and a chill in the

air.

My destination was Cape Town

to start a voyage up the coast of

West Africa ending in Dover. I

love history so the opportunity

to see and learn about this conti-

nent was a dream come true.

I cannot even begin to mini-

mize my journey into 700 words

all summed up. Instead I will do

this story over two parts, this

month and next. I am writing to

tell about the various destina-

tions so it can open your mind to

what is beyond the typical cruise

destinations.

Perhaps one day you can travel

these wonders and also share

with your friends, what is now a

dream that came true for myself.

Cape Town is a beautiful city;

the climate mild, the scenery

stunning and the people friendly.

Table Mountain, with outstand-

ing views of the city beaches

and pounding Atlantic, can be

reached by cable car.

The Castle of Good Hope and

other fortresses with their mili-

tary and maritime museums,

torture chambers, and stone for-

tifi cations were established as

early as 1666. Robben Island is in-

famous as the isolated prison of

former South African President

Nelson Mandala.

A short ferry ride allows visi-

tors to visit the site where many

political dissenters were impris-

oned.

The coastal region of Namibia

is made up of extensive sand

dunes where diamonds were so

abundant in 1908, that the fi rst

miners lay on their bellies and

crawled to pick diamonds out of

the sand.

Shifts operated 24 hours per

day as diamonds glittered in the

moonlight. Kara Kulia Carpet

Center showcases the cleaning,

carding, spinning, dyeing and

eventual weaving of carpets from

the wool of Namibian sheep.

Sand dunes can be explored as

a photo stop, a climb to the top

of the towering swirls or a sand

buggy tour.

Benin, on the Slave Coast, was

important in the slave trade.

Dahomey warriors caught

many and killed few enemies.

Prisoners were sold, resulting in

two benefi ts – the kingdom rid it-

self of enemies and grew wealthy.

One tribe fl ed to the coast

and established the stilt village

of Ganvie as a refuge from at-

tack. It is reached by travelling

in pirogues from a wharf on the

lagoon. For over a century, more

than 10,000 slaves per year were

sent to the Americas.

Most victims from Ouidah, the

town where voodoo began and re-

mains strong, were sent to Brazil

and Haiti.

In the early 1900s, Germany

turned Togo into a model colony

with harbor facilities, rail lines,

a powerful wireless transmitter

and an agricultural program.

When World War I began, Germa-

ny promoted neutrality but was

unsuccessful.

France and Britain occupied

Togo and the Germans blew up

their transmitter and surren-

dered. Glidja is noted for its many

shrines and fetish markets sell-

ing traditional ingredients used

by sorcerers. The highlights of

tours to villages were the dance

performances – one in a voodoo

village involved symbols of evil

in the form of dancers whirling

in grass cones being countered by

drummers and other dancers.

Ghana means ‘gold’ and early

interest was on its acquisition.

The Ashanti ornamented their

communities with gold and their

armies conquered and enslaved

neighbouring tribes. The Gold

Coast attracted Portuguese,

Spanish, English, Italian, Flem-

ish, French, Dutch, Swedes,

Danes and Germans. Eventually

there were 76 forts and castles

along the coast. In the 19th cen-

tury European countries banned

the sale of slaves causing Ashanti

income to decline.

The Ashanti fought to maintain

the slave trade until about 1900.

The Arts and Crafts Market is

worth a visit for Kente cloth – co-

lourfully distinctive, durable and

made into many things including

ceremonial garments.

Senegal is the most westerly

point in continental Africa.

Goree Island, with its Slave

House and Fortress Museum, was

the center of the slave trade. The

Dutch founded the fortress and

established a large market for

agricultural and manufactured

products; however, slaves were

the lucrative part of their busi-

ness.

Today, Goree Island has colour-

ful buildings from the 18th centu-

ry, winding lanes, balconies, and

terraces – but no motor vehicles.

In Dakar, French colonial infl u-

ences can be seen in the Presiden-

tial Palace, town hall and railway

stations. Salt works, traditional

dancers and crafts are highlight-

ed at the Pink Lake of Retba.

This is just my journey which

ended, then off to Cape Verde!

The countries above are beyond

paragraphs.

This journey suffi ces an entire

day of speaking about it over cof-

fee in my offi ce while I sit and

dream about someone else taking

in what I just embraced and will

be embedded in my mind forever.

To learn more about the second

half of my journey, take a peek in

next month’s issue!
