BY KALISHA MENDONSARed Deer Express

A local educator has been shortlisted

for a Canadian Family Teacher

Award, a national recognition of

her efforts as a teacher in the Red Deer

community.

Amanda Wilson is a Grade 4/5 split

teacher from École Barrie Wilson, named

after her father. She has been teaching in

Red Deer since she received her creden-

tials, and is happy to call the City home.

The contest has recognized 12 educators

from across the country in this nomina-

tion. Votes can be cast repeatedly online

until June 18th at www.canadianfamily.

ca/teacher-awards/vote-now.

“It is incredibly humbling and I’m in-

credibly honoured. I’m surrounded by

greatness every day. Everyone in the build-

ing I work with, and the district is incred-

ible. There are amazing things happening

all around me, all the time. To be the per-

son who was kind of picked out by parents

to be nominated is pretty incredible,” Wil-

son said.

With both parents in the educational

system, Wilson said she tried to fi ght the

“teacher genes.” She entered into a pre-med

program and eventually transferred to psy-

chology. She said after graduating and trav-

eling, she realized she had a lifelong love

of teaching in coaching gymnastics and re-

turned to receive her education degree.

“The students make my day everyday.

They are just incredible. The things that

they can do, and the things they know

and the things they share – they make me

laugh all the time and there is nothing bet-

ter than seeing them have a moment where

they fi nally understand something, or see-

ing them get excited about something new

that they’ve learned,” she said.

“I’m really fortunate this year because

I did get to move to the new school that

was named after my dad. I have kind of a

unique classroom set-up. We have a divid-

ing wall, sort of what like you’d see in a

gym, between two rooms. She’s got a three/

four split on her side of the wall, and I have

a four/fi ve split on my side of the wall.”

She said this classroom set-up has al-

lowed her and the other teacher to col-

laborate in a very unique, constructive

way. She said this has been a pleasant ex-

perience for them as well as their students,

who seem to appreciate being able to share

ideas amongst each other.

“It has been a learning curve, but I think

the students are really enjoying it. That

teacher and I have a similar teaching phi-

losophy, so it works really well. We’re able

to build on each other’s strengths and I

think that’s been a really great opportu-

nity for everyone in the room.”

Wilson started off her teaching career

in Red Deer at Mountview Elementary

School, and began teaching at École Barrie

Wilson when it opened in 2014. The school

has offered new opportunities in the way

of accessible technologies and teaching

strategies.

École Barrie Wilson uses a project-based

learning approach, which allows teachers

and students to draw connections between

multiple subjects to develop a deeper un-

derstanding of concepts. It supplements

traditional classroom methods with hands-

on projects to allow students to develop

deeper understandings of topics.

“The school itself is awesome. Because

everything is new, it works well. We’ve

kind of got all the current state-of-the-art

stuff, which is always helpful. The staff

here is really amazing. Everybody is so ea-

ger to try new things and so onboard. We

took on project-based learning and every-

one just jumped onboard and said, ‘Yeah,

we’ll give it a try,’ so every classroom in

the school has tried to do a project-based

learning project at least once in the year.”

Wilson is also extremely engaged in

her student’s learning, and utilizes the

school’s e-portfolio system to communi-

cate with students and parents. Part of

her nomination recognized an outstand-

ing effort in these areas. In the nomination

press release, Canadian Family said, “Ms.

Wilson makes a point of communicating to

her students’ parents regularly via notes,

emails and postcards to share success sto-

ries and sweet moments she has shared

with her students.”

Wilson said she is very proud to be a part

of the Red Deer community.

She said she feels humbled by the rec-

ognition of her community and is glad she

can represent it.

“We have a pretty incredible group of

people there. I was born and raised here

and I moved away to go to school for a little

bit, and it didn’t feel like home. Red Deer

has always been my home. I think it is full

of really incredible people and really in-

credible opportunities,” she said.

“We always seem to have something cool

going on, like the Memorial Cup, or the

Winter Games – there is always something

that Red Deer gets behind and I think that

I’m fortunate to work in a community with

such amazing people. That just passes onto

the students who are the next generations

of Red Deerians.”

Wilson has so far received more than

26,000 votes – close to only two of the other

nominated teachers who have received ap-

proximately 27,000 and 28,000 votes respec-

tively.

For those who have suffered a

brain injury, there is often much

to learn over again. And there

can be an array of challenges in

terms of fi nding and connecting

with a supportive circle as well.

June is Brain Injury Awareness

Month and the staff, volunteers

and clients of the Central Alber-

ta Brain Injury Society (CABIS)

hope the public can become bet-

ter informed about the impacts

and complexities of brain injury.

The Society has been helping

individuals and families deal

with the effects of traumatic or

acquired brain injury since 1991 –

free of charge.

Richard Langohr, 54, suffered a

brain injury in the early 1990s in

Calgary which left him with sig-

nifi cant memory problems. Dis-

tant memories are easier to re-

trieve then events that happened

very recently, even the day prior,

he explained. He doesn’t recall

the fall from 8th Avenue bridge

on Calgary’s Deerfoot Trail that

caused the injury either.

He was fi rst sent to Foothills

Hospital, and was also in a coma

for fi ve months. “The doctors

were unsure what was going to

happen to me – whether I was

going to come out of the coma or

not,” he said. And if he did recov-

er, they had no idea how the inju-

ry would impact him cognitively.

Eventually, he went to Alberta

Hospital Ponoka – now known as

The Centennial Centre for Men-

tal Health and Brain Injury – and

he speaks of his time there as in-

credibly helpful and restorative.

“I had a tremendous three years,”

he said. After leaving the Centre

he settled in Red Deer and soon

became a part of CABIS.

He’d like for people to build a

better understanding of brain in-

jury, as that would work towards

a better sense of understanding.

“Brain injury is not a disease

– it’s something that happens to

a lot of people. We all have prob-

lems. Besides brain injuries,

there are other problems in life

that come along.”

Jeff Booth suffered a brain in-

jury in an accident in the early

1990s as well. He was not even 20

years old. “I was in an accident

on the way home after work from

the oil rigs,” he explained, add-

ing after initial treatment he also

spent time recovering at Ponoka

as well. “It was helpful and they

re-taught me how to do just about

everything. I couldn’t walk and I

couldn’t eat.”

He’s been involved with CABIS

for about 10 years. “You get to talk

to other brain-injured people,

and discuss all sorts of things,”

he said, adding that belonging to

CABIS has certainly been help-

ful. Club CABIS – a social drop-in

support group spearheaded by

survivors - started meeting in the

early 1990s. Jean Stinson, presi-

dent of CABIS, said the organi-

zation hosts Club CABIS twice a

month. There are also peer sup-

port groups and a caregiver sup-

port group once a month.

And with June being Brain In-

jury Awareness Month, several

events are slated for the coming

weeks. Post Concussion Syn-

drome presents speakers Doug

Rowe and Dr. Norman Hoffman

for the ‘Heads Up Concussion

in High School Sports’ session

on June 8th at The Hub on Ross,

from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A picnic runs June 24th at Ro-

tary Park from 5 to 8 p.m.

As mentioned, Club CABIS is

a social drop-in session which

meets the fi rst and third Thurs-

day afternoon of each month

between 1:30-3 p.m. CABIS also

operates with no government

funding and must rely on donors

plus grants and the generosity of

the community via fundraisers

- these include the annual silent

auction set for June 19th-21st at

Parkland Mall, plus the Wellness

Ride which runs Aug. 15th.

Mark Bough, 41, suffered sev-

eral severe injuries and a brain

injury in a crash in August of

2012. He was in a coma for about

six and half weeks and received

further care in hospital for about

11 months altogether.

He said the injury, in particu-

lar, has affected him in regards

to his emotions. And adjusting

to life post-accident was extraor-

dinarily hard. “The main injury

that I have is emotional control,”

he explained. “Part of the issue

is that sometimes, I don’t real-

ize that I’ve been triggered. I can

start to get angry and raising my

voice, and I’m not even aware that

I’m doing it. The people that are

close to me have actually been

instructed to basically tap me on

the shoulder and say, ‘Mark, you

are getting mad’. As soon as I re-

alize it, I can usually calm down

pretty quickly.”

Another loss is the ability to

work again, he said, adding he

broke his back and neck in sever-

al places as well. “I get very tired,

and an emotional day can wear

me right out.”

As to Brain Injury Awareness

Month, he refers to the range of

injuries as being essentially in-

visible to people. They can mis-

understand the symptoms, such

as speaking slowly, for intoxica-

tion or a mental disability. Sadly,

people can also be very intimidat-

ed by those with brain injuries.

“For me, it’s about recognizing

that a brain injury can happen

to anybody,” said Stinson. “And

oftentimes, people can overcome

it and function quite well back in

the community again. The com-

munity needs to be fully support-

ive of the whole family.

“So what we try to do in June

is build awareness, that it can

happen to anyone. And CABIS

offers supports,” she said, em-

phasizing the drop-in programs

that help to build community.

“I think that’s always been very

important – Club CABIS – for

people to come in and meet oth-

ers who have brain injuries. They

can come here and feel a part of

a bigger family. Relationships are

formed.”

Bough agreed, adding fur-

ther education is key to building

awareness and ultimately, a more

sensitive and caring response.

“Quite frankly, I had no idea –

prior to the injury – about brain

injury. Most people don’t. And

that’s the biggest thing.”

Westerner Days is set to

kick off in Red Deer next

month and offi cials prom-

ise this year’s events will

include fun for the whole

family.

Westerner Days takes

place July 15th-19th with

the annual pancake break-

fast at Bower Mall on July

11th.

This year’s theme plays

on the agriculture aspect of

Westerner Days. Organiz-

ers are hoping people come

out and ‘horse around’ on

the midway, ‘pig out’ in the

Grub Hub and ‘groove to

the mooosic’ on the main

stage.

“It’s all about having fun

and being a little ‘punny’

with our campaign,” said

Meghan Gustum, market-

ing manager at Westerner

Park.

Fair-goers can purchase

a Ride All Day pass as well

as a MEGA Pass, which is

new this year.

The MEGA Pass is a

multi-day pass to get pa-

trons into the fair grounds.

It does not include rides or

parking. Cost for the pass

is $30.

The Ride All Day pass is

$34 and includes gate ad-

mission and unlimited mid-

way rides for any one day

of the fair. This pass does

not include parking.

Both passes are available

for purchase on June 15th

and will be on sale until

July 14th at participating

Mac’s and Central Alberta

Co-op locations.

The midway will include

40 rides, provided by North

American Midway, includ-

ing 18 thrill rides, 13 family

rides and nine kiddie rides.

There are a number of

entertainers that will be

featured on the main stage

in the Centrium including

Wide Mouth Mason and

Big Sugar on July 15th, The

Headpins and Platinum

Blonde on July 16th, High

Valley and The Road Ham-

mers on July 17th, and The

Boom Chucka Boys, Lind-

say Ell and Kira Isabella on

July 18th.

All concerts start at 8

p.m. with the doors open-

ing at 7 p.m.

All concerts are free of

charge with gate admission

and seating is available on

a fi rst-come, fi rst-serve ba-

sis.

“This year we are really

excited because we have 10

acts over fi ve nights on our

main stage,” said Gustum.

“The public was telling us

that they wanted free en-

tertainment and this year

Westerner Days to kick

off next month

we are really delivering.”

There is also nightly en-

tertainment in The Ranch

which includes Steve Ar-

senault on July 15th, The

Dungarees on July 16th,

Dirt Road Angels on July

17th, and Randi Boulton on

July 18th.

The Aussie Rules Duel-

ling Pianos will also play

in the Twisted Tea Saloon

from July 15th-18th.

Another new aspect

of this year’s Westerner

Days will be a Morning of

Faith on July 19th – a non-

denominational service

before the grounds open to

the general public.

“We will open the

grounds at 9 a.m. for any-

one wishing to attend the

10:30 a.m. service,” said

Gustum.

“We will not be charging

admission, however park-

ing fees will still be in ef-

fect.

“Guests would then be

welcome to stay on the

grounds and enjoy the

rest of the afternoon at the

fair.”

Guests will also be en-

couraged to bring a non-

perishable donation for the

Red Deer and District Food

Bank with them to the ser-

vice.

“We are committed to

our community and there-

fore very excited about

the opportunity to provide

another chance for the

community to engage and

celebrate together,” said

Graham Heron, president

and board chair at West-

erner Park.

In addition, for many,

Westerner Days is an an-

nual tradition, however, it

is not on the event calendar

for some Central Albertans

due to illness.

Continuing the ‘Share

the Fair’ program, West-

erner Days offers the op-

portunity for sick kids to

have the experience.

Various entertainers

of this year’s event will

visit the Ronald McDonald

House Central Alberta and

the Red Deer Regional Hos-

pital Centre on July 16th to

perform for patients and

their families.

“It is at events like West-

erner Days that childhood

memories are created and

last for years to come,” said

Gustum.

“We are pleased to offer

a program that allows all

kids, regardless if they can

physically attend our event

or not, the opportunity to

create those same memo-

ries.”

As well, for many fami-

lies, due to fi nancial con-

straints, they are unable to

attend the fair.

In 2013, Westerner Park

created the ‘We All Play’

program. The program

provided 100 families with

complimentary admission

and parking to Westerner

Days.

Passes were distributed

through Family Services of

Central Alberta to families

who would otherwise not

be able to attend.

Last year the program

expanded, and families

with Aspire Special Needs

Resource Centre will also

have the opportunity to

take a much needed break

from the day-to-day de-

mands of a child with spe-

cial needs and play.

offsite, visit www.west-

The ‘Walking With Our Sisters’ (WWOS)

commemorative art instalment has arrived

at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery as

part of a national tour and is available to

be viewed by the public until June 21st.

Thousands of vamps, the top part of a

moccasin, and symbolic tobacco packages

have been put together across Canada to

recognize and honour the thousands of

missing and murdered Aboriginal women

and children of the country. As well, it

pays tribute to the families and the com-

munity affected by these losses and pro-

motes empowering women and making

them feel safe.

Mandy Grifi ths is a former Red Deerian

who became involved with the local efforts

in WWOS shortly before moving to Van-

couver Island. She and her family came to

visit Red Deer during the opening of the

installation, and said it has been an emo-

tionally packed experience.

“Walking through the installation is

hard at fi rst, and it’s overwhelming and

it’s a struggle until you come around the

corner and see the lodge. You feel hope-

ful. When you come around the other cor-

ner, there are good things. Everything is

straightened out and brighter. It’s empow-

ering me as a woman to see that, feel that,

and experience that. It’s a big part of his-

tory,” Grifi ths said.

“These women are human beings who

had a life. They had a mom and a dad and

were born into this world. They were loved

and everything else, no matter what situ-

ation they had in their life, whether they

went onto the streets or abuse – whatever.”

The installation has been laid out and

arranged with extreme care and decisive-

ness.

First, visitors may receive a ceremonial

smudge cleansing prior to entering, and

then begin to move into the exhibit. The

fi rst sets of vamps are from the east side of

Vancouver, where a large amount of atten-

tion was fi rst created on the issue.

The exhibit features a centrepiece area

that has been dedicated in part to the fami-

lies in the local area who have lost loved

ones.

Located inside a symbolic lodge are the

vamps representing children and babies.

“The hardest part is seeing the baby

vamps because it’s hard to feel that they

have either been beaten to death, or mur-

dered or died while in care. It’s just hard.

But, I know the lodge, too and it’s healing

and it always feels good to me. It’s always

home. It’s hopeful.”

“Eliminates Neuropathy Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and Burning for Good!”

100495K24 © , Wellness Coach® Inc. All Rights Reserved

Dear Friend and Fellow Neuropathy Sufferer:

Y our family and friends don’t understand what you are going through. Even most doctors

don’t understand. It’s not their fault. They don’t understand because they don’t suffer like you do. You feel miserable. Your feet and legs hurt…sharp, electrical, jolting pain when you walk, sit or…lie in bed. They’re numb. Like you are walking on cardboard or bubble pack. And tingling – like a pin cushion or like ants on your toes. They ache and swell…even burn. Your toes feel like they are on fire, yet, when you touch them, they’re ice cold.

The nerve damage won’t let YOU sleep, so you resort to dangerous drugs to knock yourself out for the night. You want to travel. See the world. Enjoy your garden and take your dog for a walk. You can’t because your feet and legs hurt too much. You’ve worked hard - for decades! You’ve looked forward to retirement – to do the things you enjoy. Travel. Now this!

“Amazing New Medical Breakthrough Replaces

Desperation and Misery withHope and Relief for People

Suffering with Neuropathy!”You feel confined. Limited. You

can’t even enjoy a trip to the mall. Shopping is a burden. Your balance is poor. YOU are afraid of falling, especially when you are on uneven ground or using the stairs. You start using a cane for security. Eventually a cane is not enough and you need a walker. Finally a walker won’t do it and you are in a wheelchair. You are miserable. Desperate. Without hope. Your doctor is desperate to help you too. And…you’ve tried more drugs. Gabapentin. Lyrica. Nothing has helped. If all this isn’t bad enough, the nerve damage spreads to your hands and arms.

The most common causes of neuropathy are: diabetes, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, kidney failure and dialysis, drugs to prevent organ rejection, alcohol or drug abuse, bad arthritis in your lower back and AIDS/HIV.

Here’s a couple of common causes I bet you haven’t considered…drugs to lower your cholesterol and blood pressure. These drugs are notorious for killing the delicate nerves in your feet and hands. How many people do you know who take statin drugs to lower their cholesterol and drugs to lower their blood pressure? Dozens!

“Don’t Let the Miserable Foot Pain, Numbness, Tingling and

Burning of NeuropathyRuin Your Life!”

Neuropathy can progress to extreme levels. It can ruin your life! I can still remember the day, like it was yesterday. Bob, a patient of mine, looked up at me and cried: “Dr. Waddell, what did I do to deserve this?” My eyes welled up. I strained to hold the tears back. I also remember Mel. The day before I met him, a surgeon had to cut off one of his toes. An anesthetic wasn’t necessary. Mel didn’t feel a thing. Can you imagine? It’s as if he had leprosy!

“When Doctors Suffer with Neuropathy –

This is What They do!”

Why do I understand what you are going through? How do I know your suffering?

I know because I suffer with neuropathy nerve damage too. You see, I had a kidney transplant years ago and now take a palm full of anti-rejection drugs every day. These drugs are slowly killing my nerves.

I am now FREE from pain, numbness, tingling and burning in my feet and hands and am able to sleep, go for a drive, walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle. Someday, when I have grandkids, I’ll be able to get down on the floor and play with them.

What about YOU? What would you do and enjoy if your neuropathy pain, numbness, tingling and burning were gone and…you could move and play? I can guarantee your life would be better than it is now!

Many people, right now, are

suffering needlessly. Neuropathy foot pain, numbness, tinging and burning are ruining their lives. They have given up

hope or have been told: “There is no hope.” Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “There is hope! Relief!”

The restoration of funding for education is welcome news

for Red Deer Public Schools, offi cials have said.

Last week David Eggen, minister of education confi rmed

the elimination of funding cuts that had been announced by

the former government. These cuts had been a major con-

cern for school boards across the province.

“We welcome these important funding announcements

which clearly show that education is a priority for the new

government and the people of Alberta,” said Bev Manning,

Offi cials react to education announcements

Getting health advice

around the clock just got

simpler with the intro-

duction of the 811 phone

number for Health Link,

Alberta’s free, 24/7 health

information and advice

line.

The number replaces

the 10-digit local numbers

in Calgary and Edmonton

as well as the province-

wide toll-free number. The

old numbers will continue

to direct callers to Health

Link for the time being. In

a medical emergency, Al-

bertans should continue to

dial 911 or visit the nearest

emergency department.

“Health Link is an in-

valuable service that gives

Albertans across the prov-

ince telephone access to

registered nurses and other

health professionals,” said

Sarah Hoffman, minister

of health and minister

of seniors. “By changing

Health Link’s number to

811, access to experienced,

responsive health advice

will be even easier. This is

the kind of universal, ac-

cessible, public health care

delivery that Albertans ex-

pect and depend on.”

Health Link supported

more than one million Al-

bertans last year, often pre-

venting trips to the emer-

gency department. Of those

who called with a health

concern, nearly half (48%)

were given advice to care

for themselves at home,

36% were told to visit their

doctor or another health

care provider and just 16%

were advised to go to the

emergency department.

Staff provide advice and

navigation services via

telephone free of charge

as well as online health

information to the public

through MyHealth.Alberta.

ca. Other provinces, includ-

ing B.C. and Saskatchewan,

also use 811 for access to

non-urgent health care ser-

vices. Alberta’s adoption of

811 will create consistency

for those travelling to and

from other provinces.

- Weber

Accessing health advice via 8-1-1

board chair of the Red Deer Public School district. “Our

students are our future and we need to make the right

investments in education to ensure students receive

quality education. “The fact 19 school jurisdictions came

together during the provincial election in an unprec-

edented effort to raise concerns about education funding

shows the magnitude of this issue. Those concerns have

now been addressed and we can move forward.”

Red Deer Public Schools has developed a draft budget

for the 2015/16 school year and will address needs that

emerge in classrooms and across the district in Septem-

ber. The new funding will allow them to address the key

priorities and directions established by the board.

Last week the NDP government announced funding

for enrolment growth for the 2015/2016 school year will

be re-instated and will be based on each board’s Sept.

30th funded enrolment count.

The announcement also included restoring the pre-

vious reductions in grants to the 2014/2015 school year

level and will increase the base instruction and class size

grants.

The government also announced they will continue to

provide funding for the fi nal year of the Teacher Frame-

work Agreement, which includes a 2% increase in teach-

er salaries in September and a 1% one-time lump sum

payment to teachers in November.

The restrictions regarding the use of board reserves

and maintaining front-line teacher staffi ng levels have

also been removed and boards have the fl exibility to

make programming, budgeting and staffi ng decisions

that refl ect the needs of students and communities.

- Fawcett


OPINION

The NDP government in

Alberta has delayed intro-

ducing its fi rst budget until

the fall, which should give

its new MLAs time to think

about how they’ll collect

and spend Albertans’ mon-

ey. But to properly manage

the estimated $48.4 billion in

provincial budget expendi-

tures, it helps to become fa-

miliar with where the mon-

ey is currently being spent.

First, I would like to be

clear that some goals - uni-

versal access to education

and healthcare - are laud-

able, but that doesn’t mean

governments should own

and operate every school

and every hospital.

While provincial govern-

ments are not complete mo-

nopolists within those two

areas, much of the delivery

of such necessary services

are limited to government

unions which have no in-

terest in delivering servic-

es more effi ciently. Here’s

one fact to remember - in

Canada, 70.6% of health-

care money is spent by gov-

ernment, with much of the

government-related deliv-

ery being unionized.

That fact is unsettling

as government monopolies

(or near monopolies, in the

case of government-provid-

ed education and health-

care), just like those that

occur in the private sec-

tor, offer a lack of options

and allows one supplier to

charge high prices while

providing low-quality ser-

vices or goods with no real

necessity to innovate.

As for how the money

is spent, staffi ng costs in

Alberta, as in many orga-

nizations, are signifi cant

- almost 50% or $24 billion -

of provincial expenditures

went to government and

public-sector compensa-

tion costs in 2014/15.

This leads to this ques-

tion for Alberta’s NDP

government - does it under-

stand that the government

sector enjoys a compensa-

tion premium relative to

the private sector?

In Alberta, government-

sector workers and others

in the broad public sector

reap a 6.9% wage premium

over private-sector workers

in similar jobs, accounted

for by education, length of

time in the workforce, age,

among other factors.

But that wage premium

doesn’t take into account

the fact that almost 78 % of

government-sector work-

ers in Alberta have a reg-

istered pension plan. More

than 97% of that 78% are in

the gold-plated defi ned ben-

efi ts plan.

In the private sector, just

under 22% have registered

pension plans, with only

about four in 10 of those

receiving the guaranteed

defi ned benefi ts variety.

The wage premium also

doesn’t take into account

that government- and pub-

lic-sector workers in Al-

berta retire more than one

year earlier than private-

sector workers (and thus

start their defi ned benefi t

pensions earlier).

Why does all of this mat-

ter? Because those higher-

than-private-sector wages,

generous and early retire-

ment pensions, and other

benefi ts come from the pub-

lic treasury, that is, from

taxpayers. And unless one

believes that tax dollars

grow on magical tax trees,

money taxed away from peo-

ple means one of two things:

1) Money is diverted

from families and their

priorities, such as saving

for higher education or

retirement. Politicians, es-

pecially new ones, should

keep in mind that families

have other needs, ones of-

ten very different from the

priorities of politicians.

2) These days we’re all

getting less for the taxes

we’re paying.

Above-private-sector

salaries and generous pen-

sion plans come at the

cost of building new or re-

furbished old schools and

hospitals or from hiring

new teachers, nurses and

doctors. Simply put, when

additional tax dollars are

spent on those already em-

ployed in the government

system, governments are

pushing on a string in any

attempt to improve the

quality and quantity of

education, healthcare and

other programs the govern-

ment is heavily involved in

courtesy of our tax dollars.

The new Alberta govern-

ment may wish to review

these hard facts and real

numbers in advance of its

fall budget – at least if its

guiding assumption is not

to simply tax and spend

with abandon.

What has now become a summer tra-

dition in the downtown core is offi cially

ready for the season.

The City’s downtown certainly has

seen its fair share of changes over the

last number of years. The community

has made great strides in trying to make

downtown more friendly and welcom-

ing and so far, they have done a fi ne job.

And with the addition of the Ross

Street Patio, City folks are taking ad-

vantage of the downtown even more.

The Ross Street Patio offers a trendy

spot for Red Deerians to have lunch,

grab a coffee and catch up with friends.

The area, located in the north lanes

of Ross St. adjacent to Veterans’ Park,

offers lots of greenery in the form of

planters and shrubs and a number of

patio tables with umbrellas that offer

an inviting feel.

In addition to that, a number of free

concerts and performances are set to

take place at the space and are planned

throughout the summer – inviting even

more people to the area.

Of course even with its successes, we

still hear from the naysayers and over

the years we have heard concerns of

loss of parking and slower traffi c move-

ment through the area. But we think

the pros defi nitely outweigh the cons in

this case and the Ross Street Patio has

already proven its success.

On a hot summer day the patio is

packed and people, who maybe other-

wise wouldn’t think to ‘hang out’ in the

downtown, are there enjoying the sights

and sounds. Of course this is great for

the businesses in the area too as many

will wander the shops as well. It’s al-

ways important to feed the heart of the

City and the Ross Street Patio does just

that.

The Patio has also been a welcome ad-

dition to street festivals that take place

in the area as well including CentreFest

and Fiestaval – both of which are up-

coming this summer. The annual Down-

town Market has also partnered with

the Ross Street Patio and events are now

held on Wednesday nights in collabora-

tion with the Market.

It’s great to see the added activity to

the downtown core – especially since

it’s positive activity. In the past down-

town was a deserted area of the City

and many stories coming out of the core

were that of crime and prostitution.

With more positive activity, Red

Deerians are hearing the good news sto-

ries instead.

The City has done a great job with the

redevelopment of the area by adding el-

ements of trendiness while also keeping

the historical aspects of the downtown

as well – something that the area is re-

ally known for.

A Central Alberta greenhouse is

celebrating 30 years of success.

After three decades, Wolf’s Botanical

Greenhouses and Nurseries continue to

grow and expand. The greenhouse is cele-

brating its 30th anniversary June 6th – 7th

with a number of activities.

Sunny 94 will be on site both

days and hourly gift draws,

starting Saturday from 10 am

to 4 pm with the ribbon cutting

scheduled for noon. Draws on

Sunday happen from noon – 3

pm, culminating in the fi nal

draw for a $500 value gift certifi -

cate for the lucky winner.

Enjoy a barbeque sponsored

by BMO with all proceeds going

to the East Lacombe 4H Beef Club.

“We love what we do and we take

great pride in what we do,” said Ingrid

Hainzmann, owner of Wolf’s Botanical

Greenhouses and Nurseries.

The greenhouse is located just 8 kms

east of Lacombe on Hwy. 12 and 1.5 kms

south on the Prentiss Rd.

In addition to their location, Wolf’s Bo-

tanical Greenhouses and Nurseries can

also be found weekly at Farmers’ Markets

in both Red Deer and Lacombe.

Each year, each fl ower is carefully plant-

ed by hand. Wolf’s Botanical Greenhouses

and Nurseries offer the highest quality of

plants by using organic fertilizer – they do

not use any chemical sprays.

Not only do Wolf’s Botani-

cal Greenhouses and Nurser-

ies offer the best in quality of

fl owers, they offer landscaping

and design as well, including

sidewalks, retaining walls and

fi re pits. There is a tree nurs-

ery and they offer RV storage

on site.

“When people come out

to the greenhouse, it is very

welcoming and we have very

friendly and helpful staff. We have people

on hand who can help design a yard or

acreage,” said Hainzmann.

One of the business’s newest ventures

has been a ‘wedding island’ for couples to

get married on near the greenhouse. Sit-

uated amongst natural landscape, brides

and grooms can get married on site and

then have use of the greenhouse and the

surrounding grounds for photos.

“The weddings have been very success-

ful and we have enjoyed being able to offer

that opportunity to brides and grooms be-

cause we really do have a beautiful space,”

said Hainzmann.

Wolf’s Botanical Greenhouses and Nurs-

eries offers a variety of items including

perennials, annuals, tomatoes, mini vege-

table gardens, roses, geraniums, hanging

baskets, planters, shrubs, trees, potting

soil, peat moss and fertilizers.

The greenhouse also supplies fl owers

annually for the City of Lacombe, Red Deer

College as well as numerous golf courses

and businesses in the area.

Hainzmann said her passion for garden-

ing stems from when she was young.

“I just love fl owers. As a little kid I was

always in the dirt.”

eries is open seven days a week from May 1

until September. For more information,

NEW CHARGES ADDED TO ALLEGED DRUNK DRIVER CASE

A new charge has been added to the case of a man charged with impaired driv-ing causing death.

Chad Ryan Connatty, 30, faces numerous charges af-ter a collision on May 20th in Red Deer that resulted in the death of a 44-year-old Springbrook man. He has been charged with impaired driving causing death, opera-tion of a motor vehicle while driving with a blood alcohol level over .08 causing death,

impaired operation of a mo-tor vehicle, blood alcohol exceeding .08 and driving while disqualifi ed. He has also been charged with pos-session of marijuana.

Connatty is currently also before the courts on two oth-er matters.

Red Deer RCMP respond-ed to a collision between a Ford 150 and a motorcycle May 20th at 6:30 p.m. at the intersection of 19th St. and 30th Ave. Witnesses at-tempted to administer CPR to the driver of the motor-cycle until Red Deer EMS and fi refi ghters arrived. EMS

staff worked to save the vic-tim. He was pronounced de-ceased at the scene.

The collision occurred when the truck, which was driving northbound on 30th Ave., attempted to turn left onto 19th St. and collided with the motorcycle, which was driving south on 30th Ave. The victim was wearing a helmet.

Connatty was arrested at the scene for impaired driv-ing causing death and was taken into custody.

Connatty will make his third court appearance on June 12th.

RCMP INVESTIGATE FRAUD

Red Deer RCMP have obtained surveillance photos of a man who used stolen identifi cation to open an account at the Brick in Red Deer and fraudulently purchase almost $10,000 worth of items.

On Feb. 5th, a wallet was stolen from a vehicle in Inglewood; several small purchases were made shortly afterward with the victim’s credit cards before the cards were can-celled.

Then on Feb. 17th an account at the Brick in Red Deer was opened in the victim’s name, using identi-fi cation stolen with his wallet. The suspect ordered a number of items and picked them up the next day at a Calgary distribution centre of the Brick; he loaded the items into a U-Haul and drove away. The victim learned about the fraud after the fact when he received an invoice from the Brick.

RCMP urge anyone with informa-tion that will help identify the sus-pect to contact the Red Deer RCMP

at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

TWO REPORTS OF PET POISONING

Red Deer RCMP have received two complaints of dogs being poi-soned in the Kentwood neighbour-hood.

The fi rst complaint came in on May 22nd when a resident report-ed that her two dogs had become ill and were believed to have been poisoned.

RCMP verifi ed that the symp-toms the dogs suffered were con-

sistent with poisoning.On May 26th, RCMP received

a second report where a resident of Kentwood suspected his dog had been poisoned, resulting in its death.

RCMP investigation has not re-sulted in any witnesses or suspects regarding these incidents, and po-lice have no information as to what type of poison may have been used.

Poisoning pets is a criminal of-fence; potential charges for these acts of cruelty include Criminal Code 445 (injuring or endanger-ing animals other than cattle) and Criminal Code 445.1 (causing ani-mals or birds unnecessary suffer-ing). Pet owners concerned about their pet’s health or symptoms their pet is showing should contact their veterinarian.

If you have information regard-ing these incidents, call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

POLICE LOOK FOR SUSPECT IN ASSAULT FROM 2014

RCMP are investigating an as-sault alleged to have occurred in February 2014, after the victim re-cently came forward.

On Feb. 20th or 21st, the victim, a 44-year-old man from the Brooks area, was travelling and stopped in Red Deer, where he met two men and went to a local pub with them. While standing outside behind the pub, it is alleged the victim was assaulted and robbed and left un-conscious in a nearby dumpster. He regained consciousness the next morning when a waste manage-ment company emptied the dump-ster into their truck.

The driver had his window open and was able to hear the victim call-ing for help.

The victim sustained a number of injuries believed to be the result of an assault. The victim was taken to hospital and treated for his inju-ries.

As a result of their investigation

into this incident, Red Deer RCMP believe the assault and robbery may have taken place in the alley behind Albert’s Family Restaurant and Lounge just off of Ross Street and 47th Ave.

RCMP continue to investigate, and are looking for witnesses who were in the area of the Co-op Plaza the night of Feb. 20th or 21st and who may have seen something re-lated to these events.

If you can identify the man in the attached sketch or have informa-tion regarding this crime, call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.

MEETINGS

These events brought to you by: www.laebon.com


BY JENNA SWANRed Deer Express

Rock the Change is ready to rumble for

their third consecutive year at the Bower

Ponds stage on Sunday from 3 to 6 p.m.

The free, outdoor suicide awareness con-

cert is set to take place with headliners Ja-

mie Woodfi n out of Red Deer, Jitty Rae out

of Detroit, Brad Sims from Lethbridge, and

Aim for Theo out of Grande Prairie.

The annual concert began three years

ago when Rock the Change founder, Sta-

cie Moore saw the importance of being

‘loud about suicide’ and wanted those fac-

ing hard times in Central Alberta to know

they’re not alone.

“I just wanted people to know that there

are people who are going through the same

things they are,” explained Moore, elemen-

tary educator and fundraiser at Suicide

Information and Education Services. “As

well as that there are people there for them

in times when things aren’t going so well.”

Over the course of the last three years,

Moore says she has learned a lot about af-

fecting change in the community – primar-

ily that while it may take a great deal of

time and effort to make a change, change is

possible and it’s worth it when it happens.

“There have been many people who have

written on our facebook page, tweeted us,

or sent us emails saying how much they

appreciate the event and how thankful and

grateful they are that there are people mak-

ing a change and raising awareness around

suicide - for some people that little bit of ef-

fort from someone can mean everything.”

Moore says the best thing you can do for

someone facing hard times is to let them

know that you are there for them in times

of trouble.

“They need to know there are people

they can talk to and who they can reach

out to and we want them to know they

should never be ashamed of that because

it’s the best thing you can do for yourself.”

Rock the Change will also be home to a

Kids Corner jam-packed full of family fun,

with a variety of vendors and merchandise

for purchase, as well as a free photo booth.

Although the event is free, donations are

accepted and appreciated.

“The last two years were awesome and

a lot of people came down to support

families who were grieving and people

who were just really going through tough

times,” explained Moore. “We want it to be

a safe place and a safe environment and get

as many families out to participate as pos-

sible.”

Among the most talented

and accomplished clergy-

men to ever live in Red

Deer, was Rev. C.H. Hues-

tis, a famous resident of

our community for more

than 20 years between 1907

and 1927.

Charles Herbert Huestis

was born in 1863 in New

Brunswick.

His father was a Meth-

odist minister who was in

charge of the Methodist

Book Room which distrib-

uted religious and educa-

tional publications across

Canada.

Huestis got his universi-

ty education at Mount Alli-

son University and, shortly

thereafter, entered the min-

istry.

On July 4th, 1888, he

married Jessie Brown Ack-

man, who had been born in

Devonshire England and

was the daughter of Rev.

and Mrs. S.R. Ackman.

Rev. Huestis was posted

to such pastorates as Port

Hood, Bridgewater, and

Sydney, Nova Scotia, as

well as St. Georges, Ber-

muda.

In the meanwhile, he

also continued his studies

and received his Masters of

Arts degree in 1896.

In 1901, he was posted

to McDougall Method-

ist Church in Edmonton.

While there, he also be-

came a philosophy instruc-

tor at Alberta College.

With his keen desire to

continue learning, he com-

pleted a second Master’s

degree in 1906, this time it

was from McGill Univer-

sity.

Despite the heavy load of

being a minister of a large

church, college instructor

and university student, he

still found time to become

very active in a number of

religious and educational

organizations.

From 1905 to 1907, he

served as the general su-

perintendent of the Inter-

national Sunday School As-

sociations.

In 1907, he moved to Red

Deer where he became the

minister at local Methodist

Church.

One of his biggest tasks

was to replace the modest

little wood frame church

on Blowers (51) St. with a

larger, more substantial

structure on the northeast

corner of Ross St. and Nan-

ton 48) Ave.

The $45,000 cost was an

enormous challenge.

Construction had to be

delayed for two years.

However, Rev. Huestis

was such a dynamo that he

personally took on a great

deal of the fundraising and

managed to raise several

thousands of dollars.

The beautiful new

church, formally named

the Leonard Gaetz Memo-

rial Methodist Church, was

fi nally completed in April

1910.

Meanwhile, Rev. Huestis

made quite an impact on

the community with his

eloquence.

He frequently used quo-

tations from English lan-

guage classics and poems

in his sermons.

He often closed by recit-

ing Tennyson’s Crossing

The Bar.

His scriptural inter-

pretations challenged his

congregation and often

precipitated a great deal of

debate and controversy in

the community.

In 1911, Rev Huestis

became the Alberta and

B.C. fi eld secretary for the

Lord’s Day Alliance.

With these new duties

and the church building

now fi nished, he decided to

resign as minister at Gaetz

Church. However, he and

his wife decided they want-

ed to continue to live in Red

Deer.

They consequently built

a beautiful new home at on

the corner of Parkvale (47)

Ave. and Morrison (52) St.

The residence still stands

and is now home to the

Wonderfl ow School.

Charles and Jessie re-

mained active in a number

of community organiza-

tions, particularly those in

which their children were

involved.

In 1922, Jessie made Ca-

nadian legal history when

she became one of the fi rst

three women to serve on a

jury.

In 1927, they moved to

Toronto, where Charles

became the national secre-

tary of the Lord’s Day Alli-

ance.

He gained a national

reputation as a vigorous

advocate of maintaining

Sundays, not only for reli-

gious services, but also for

‘family and home.’

He continued to write a

number of books and be-

came a regular columnist

for the Toronto Star.

The Huestis’s retired to

Edmonton in 1938.

Charles was awarded

honorary doctorates from

Mount Allison University

and Wesley College, Win-

nipeg.

Charles passed away in

August 1951, while Jessie

died in 1956.

Their son, Waldo, was

killed at the Battle of Vimy

Ridge.

Ralph became a profes-

sor at the University of Or-

egon.

Dorothy married noted

Alberta architect Heath

MacDonald.

Eric became the deputy

minister of Lands and For-

ests for the Alberta govern-

ment. Mt. Huestis is named

in his honour.

At 10:30 a.m. on Wednes-

day, June 10th, Gaetz

Church in Red Deer will

be celebrating the 90th an-

niversary of the formation

of the United Church of

Canada with a ringing of

the church bells.

The third annual Walk

for Aspire Special Needs

Resource Centre will take

on June 6th at Parkland

school, beginning at 11 a.m.

with a lunch to follow.

The walk serves as a time

for families who access As-

pire services to spend time

together in the community,

while also raising money to

support the organization

and each other. There is a

registration fee of $40 for

families and $10 for indi-

viduals. The walk is open

to Aspire friends and fami-

lies but also community

members. “This walk was

created three years ago by

moms. It was parents of

the children who attended

Aspire and they all sort of

connected with each other

very strongly. Peer support

is always the best – you get

to talk to other moms about

your children and share

stories. They felt that they

wanted to be like any other

family and wanted to be

able to connect outside of

this building,” said Aspire

Executive Director Mi-

chelle Sluchinski.

“They wanted to be able

to go to the park, to have a

walk and to support an or-

ganization that they really

believed in, and raise a little

bit of money. That was sort

of the side benefi t in the

beginning. It has changed a

bit and last year they raised

almost $10,000 just by those

parents and participants

collecting pledges.

“Now, it’s not only those

parents that come out but

we also get many of our As-

pire staff and we also have

grandparents, and friends

and family who just want

to support those families

in their journey with their

children,” she said.

The walk will be held

at Parkland School where

there is a barrier-free

playground available for

families after the walk. The

registration fees will also

cover a barbeque lunch

that follows the short walk.

The route is wheelchair

accessible, and all walkers,

guide dogs and specialized

strollers are welcome.

Families will raise mon-

ey by collecting donations

that will go towards sup-

porting Aspire programs

such as their scholarship.

The scholarship program

helps remove fi nancial

barriers for families that

need to access the Aspire

services. “The families

raise money by collecting

pledges. We’ve added a new

aspect to that this year in

that we’ve got the opportu-

nity for people to do online

pledging on our web site.

However, many of the par-

ents will also just sort of

take an envelope and off

they go collecting pledges

from their friends and fam-

ilies,” said Sluchinski.

“Like I said, last year

there was almost $10,000

that was raised. We were

so grateful and excited be-

cause that is tremendous

for our organization. That

just goes straight to our an-

nual operating needs.”

She said the moms who

organize the walk under-

stand that the money they

raise not only supports

Aspire, but supports other

families who need help ac-

cessing the services. The

scholarship program is en-

tirely community-funded,

and Sluchinski said this

is an extremely important

part of Aspire.

“The parents that started

Aspire 30 years ago be-

lieved there should not be

any fi nancial barriers for

families and that was the

philosophy that we’ve kept

up to this day. If someone

needs the service, or diag-

nosis or the support, we

are there for them. We do

that through help from this

very generous Central Al-

berta community.”

City artist Marianne Harris has a mes-

merizing way with capturing what she de-

scribes as abstract scenes that are super-

imposed by realism.

Her remarkable capabilities as painter

aren’t limited to that concept by any means

– as any visitor to her home can see, she

captures all kinds of scenes and images in

a range of compelling ways.

Her fi fth annual open house show and

sale runs June 5th-7th at 95 Piper Dr.

Hours on June 5th are from 6 to 10 p.m.

On Saturday, the show runs from 11 a.m.

to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3

p.m. The event is being hosted by Harris’s

Paintwerx Studios.

She also has an exhibit coming up at

The Gallery on Main in Lacombe, with the

opening reception on July 17th from 5 to 9

p.m. That exhibit runs through to Aug. 7th.

Harris, who is originally from Edmon-

ton, said her love for artistic expression

was sparked back in her elementary school

years. Where this knack came from is any-

one’s guess, as her folks weren’t the ‘artsy’

type. But as the years passed, she kept at it

and her skills fl ourished. She took courses

but mainly Harris is self-taught, with an

obviously natural fl air.

“Currently, I really enjoy the more ab-

stract with realism superimposed – if

there is an actual name for that, I don’t

know what it is,” she explains with a smile.

“You can, for example, still read it as a

landscape of sorts,” she says, referring to

a specifi c painting hanging in her kitchen

area. “You can see trees and rocks – but

then you look around those and see these

other things.

“So the process for me is interesting – it

can be a trial and error kind of thing – but

then there’s that (great) feeling when it

does come together.”

Harris has said she is inspired by a vari-

ety of subject matter, but that adventures

from her travels and people in any setting

are among her favourite subjects to paint.

“I strive to depict their story and person-

alities with paint on paper. My artwork is

a result of my personal impression of na-

ture and people’s activities, and I trust it

will evoke an emotion in the viewer also,

and through the pieces be able to catch a

glimpse of where I’ve been and what I’ve

seen,” she notes on her web site.

Years earlier, she focused more on high

realism, based on photographic images.

“Can I reproduce this photograph? That’s

how I started, and I did that for quite a few

years.”

These days, she can work from home so

it’s a nice balance of managing the house,

doing her day job and pouring out her in-

spiration into an array of paintings. There

doesn’t seem to be much in the way of limi-

tations in terms of what she can do – her

paintings are a wonder in balancing both

subtle and bold nuances of shimmering

light and vivid colour.

“I took a beginner workshop course in

Stony Plain, and that really got me going,”

she said. “That would have been in my

early 20s,” she recalls, adding that along

with a growing passion for painting came

marriage, the raising of three sons and a

career in medical transcription. So fi nding

time to fi t in some painting has, at times,

been something of a challenge. She’s also

taught several courses and classes over

the years, and loves sharing her skills with

others in a number of age groups.

Still, she fi nds the pursuit absolutely ex-

hilarating – and fulfi lling.

“There is so much that is exciting about

it,” she said, referring to the multitude of

styles and media that an artist can explore.

“I also think that what has kept me going is

that my student base was such that they al-

ways wanted to try something new, too. So

I always had to keep a step ahead of them,”

she said. “Consequently, I started taking a

lot of workshops myself and I still do.

“I’d learn a new technique, and then

share it with my students in workshops.”

The positive feedback she has received

from students over the years has also been

a source of rich fulfi llment.

Meanwhile, Harris fi rmly believes that

virtually anybody could learn to paint in

a skillful way. It’s a matter of desire, disci-

pline and time.

“If there’s a desire to learn, I can teach

you to do everything I do.” Of course there

are variables to that – there is no strict for-

mula that would apply to everyone. “You

might have mentors that encourage you

along the way more so, and that might

shorten the learning curve, but you still

have to have that desire to do it.”

BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express

The Red Deer Players Society is gearing

up for their latest production of Twelve

Angry Men with performances running

June 11th-20th at the Scott Block Theatre.

Curtain is at 8 p.m.

Directed by Lori Lane, the play concerns

the deliberations of the jury of a homicide

trial. At the beginning, they have a nearly

unanimous decision of guilt, with a single

dissenter of not guilty, who throughout the

play sows a seed of reasonable doubt.

“When Red Deer Players was formed,

the timing was actually perfect for me to

get back into theatre,” explains Lane, who

had been actively involved with Central

Alberta Theatre a number of years earlier

in several capacities. “Directing was my

primary thing.”

She took a break following the birth of

her son, what with the demanding rehears-

al schedules and time commitments that

theatre demands.

But as mentioned, when the formation

of Red Deer Players was announced, Lane

knew it was time to get back in the local

theatre community and directing a play

was at the top of the list. “The timing felt

right. So I got involved and indicated an

interest in directing something for them.

They asked me to come up with a few op-

tions, and there were two or three I had in

mind, but this is the one that I really want-

ed to do.”

Twelve Angry Men was fi rst made as a

1954 teleplay by Reginald Rose for the Stu-

dio One anthology television series, and

was aired as a live CBS Television produc-

tion on Sept. 20th, 1954. The drama was

later rewritten for the stage in 1955 under

the same title.

It was rewritten again in 1957 as a fea-

ture fi lm which Sidney Lumet directed,

and which starred Henry Fonda. It was

nominated for several Academy Awards

in the categories of Best Director, Best Pic-

ture and Best Writing of Adapted Screen-

play.

Lane also recalls seeing a movie version

done back in the 1990s featuring George

C. Scott and Jack Lemmon, which really

sparked her interest.

“Really what it is, is that quality of the

script, the ‘meatiness’ of the matter, the

challenge for all of the actors and in turn

what that meant to me in terms of chal-

lenge as a director. To try and coach the ac-

tors through that process of creating these

very real characters and the emotions and

everything they go through as they delib-

erate in that room.”

Last fall, the selection was offi cially

made and Lane and her team began pre-

paring. As she noted, this play is also

unique in that the 12 actors portraying

members of the jury are all onstage for

the entire play. Everyone has to be ‘on’ all

of the time, which is in itself a demanding

thing for the cast. Besides the spoken lines,

every facial and bodily expression counts

at all times. And as Lane pointed out, that

requires a truly singular ‘team’ effort from

the actors, who have absolutely lived up to

the demands of the script, she said.

“This is the only play I’ve ever done

where that core cast of 12 is onstage from

start to fi nish. I can’t think of a show I’ve

ever been involved with in 30 years of do-

ing theatre that has been like that,” she

said. “That in itself is a unique challenge.”

Another interesting thing about this

play is that we never know any of the char-

acters’ names. “Jurors are referred to by

their juror number, and the defendant is

only known as ‘the kid’ or ‘the boy’ – we

never know his name.”

Lane said the realism of the story shines

through so strongly because Twelve Angry

Men’s writer, Rose, had served as a juror

in a manslaughter trial before penning the

classic. “It was his fascination with the

whole process that made him think this

would be a really good piece of theatre. He

wrote it true to the way it really works.”

She also added that she and the cast have

done plenty of preparation of their own to

heighten the sense of realism. “We also

had the opportunity to meet with someone

who was a foreman on a jury in a real mur-

der trial, and we devoted some rehearsal

time in talking with him about what it was

like, how the deliberations went, and about

the personalities in the room and how it

felt – the whole experience.”

Twelve Angry Men is indeed a play of

drama and intensity, which has fueled its

status as an enduring fi lm and theatrical

production. And working with a fi ne and

very capable cast has made the production

that much more of a joy, said Lane.

“They’re the strongest group of actors –

overall – that I’ve ever worked with,” she

said. “And one of the nice things about

having a cast onstage the entire time is

that every single actor is needed for every

single hour of every single rehearsal. So

you have to come together – it’s a team.”

As for directing, she loves seeing the

overall vision of a given story come togeth-

er for the stage. “It’s the whole big picture

and seeing that vision come to life.”

able at the Black Knight Ticket Centre by

Correction

The Red Deer Sympho-

ny Orchestra is wrapping

up another stellar season

with ‘Bold Bolero’, set for

June 6th at the College

Arts Centre.

Featured works in-

clude Ravel’s Bolero,

Dvorak’s Violin Concerto

in A Minor Op. 53, Ja-

cob’s Concerto for Bas-

soon and Strings and

Respighi’s Pini di Roma.

Special guests include

violinist Heidi Baumbach

and Pablo Montes on bas-

soon.

According to RDSO

notes, Montes began his

musical career at the age

of fi ve.

Enrolled in an El

Sistema program, he was

asked to select an instru-

ment by the age of 10.

“He began bassoon les-

sons with Andrew Riera

in his hometown. Being

the youngest bassoon

player in the area, he

was asked a few weeks

after to perform the New

World Symphony as prin-

cipal bassoon.”

El Sistema gave him a

solid music foundation,

and provided him with

the opportunity to meet

world renowned conduc-

tors such as Claudio Aba-

do and Sir Simon Rattle.

Baumbach has been

studying violin since the

age of fi ve. “In 2005, whe

was accepted with special

dispensation to the Cana-

dian University College

Chamber Orchestra, with

which she performed un-

til spring of 2010, as well

as April 2012 to the pres-

ent.”

She is currently com-

pleting her bachelor’s

degree in violin perfor-

mance at Canadian Uni-

versity College while par-

ticipating in the Mount

Royal Conservatory pro-

gram under the tutelage

of Bill van der Sloot.

As for the starring

piece of the evening,

RDSO music director

Claude Lapalme said

the unusual form of the

work Bolero, with, “It’s

two melodies and 15-min-

ute long crescendo, was

unique in orchestral

writing at the time of its

composition; but despite

its novelty, it was an im-

mense success world-

wide.”

AFTERNOON RIDE – Jill Switzer and Jas Hothi take Mariah Switzer, 14, Taran Switzer, 10, and Maya Switzer, 5, for a boat ride in Bower Ponds over the weekend. Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express

There is a saying I love from a mentor of

mine - “If you are only willing to do what

is easy, life is hard. If you are willing to do

what is hard, life is easy.” T. Harv Eker.

It’s true, and I worry about people today

because a lot of folks just want to do what is

easy. They want the reward, but don’t want

to do the work. There is a great post going

around facebook with the picture of a bal-

lerina on it, and one foot has a slipper on,

looks all pretty, the other foot is bare and all

bandaged, beat up, damaged, etc. The cap-

tion says, “Everyone wants to be successful,

until they see what it actually takes.”

People want to be fi t and healthy. I be-

lieve that.

I know with absolute clarity what that

takes and yet I see the world following TV

‘doctors’ that are selling ‘snake oil’ every

week. Every week it is some new quick

fi x, some faster way, some gimmicky fi t-

ness product that will not get you more fi t

in any way; it will just make someone else

rich. Honestly, the super fi t people using

the latest exercise toy did not get fi t using

that toy. It’s not that some of them aren’t

actually useful, but most of them are not.

The thing is - even if the toy is great, you

have to use it. You have to eat right and ex-

ercise every day, all the time for a long time.

That is how the human body was designed

- to move, to work, to lift and bend and jump

and play and run. Billions of dollars of

home fi tness equipment ends up in a garage

sale or hanging laundry because too many

people want that quick fi x, with no work.

People call me and leave a message say-

ing they want to get fi t, they want me to

help, but they don’t want to come to my

gym and they don’t want to spend money

on coaching. To be honest, I’m not calling

you back. Sorry. You are not ready.

Fitness takes work ethic. It takes deter-

mination and commitment. You have to

be persistent, consistent and be prepared

that some things might not work, and you

will have to try something else. It does not

come easy. It does not stay. Fitness is not

permanent, you work at it every day.

Last year I rode my bike in a fundraiser -

400kms in one day. It was really tough!

Today I rode my bike in training for an

Ironman in four weeks and went

200kms and it was so hard I wanted to

quit. So just because I rode 400kms last

year does not mean anything, this year. I

have to re-earn my long riding fi tness all

over again or maintain it enough that it

doesn’t go away.

Your body becomes good at what you

teach it to do most. If that is sitting and

eating, it will get very good at sitting and

eating. You will have back problems and a

belly, and that isn’t genetics, or your par-

ents or anything else, that’s on you.

Your body is your greatest gift, and I

hope that you will treat it with respect.

Like we say at our boot camp, “Drop-

ping body fat is hard, maintaining fi tness

is hard, being overweight is hard - choose

your hard.”

What’s the worst fear for some people?

It’s not standing before a crowd and giving

a major speech. It’s the terror of having no

control of what’s in food. Now, British re-

searchers report there is a way for parents

to prevent children from becoming picky

eaters. So how picky can you get? The next

time you’re at a dinner party do a little de-

tective work and see if you can spot which

guest suffers from this phobia.

You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes

to spot picky eaters. One clue is to keep

your eye on the guest’s dinner plate. For

instance, some picky eaters cannot stand

mixing foods together. Rather, they will

eat peas fi rst, then the meat, the potatoes

and so on. And some refuse to eat anything

with their hands even if it’s a sandwich,

peanuts or pizza.

You may discover that some diners will

not eat carrots if they have touched the

beans on the plate. One picky eater ex-

plained, “I don’t think of it as a disorder,

just kind of curious.”

There’s another picky eater you can’t

miss detecting out of the corner of your

eye. The one who is offered a chicken pie

as the main course. Just watch that person

pick out the peas or the onions, trying to be

discreet while doing so.

Other picky eaters face a nightmare

when it’s impossible to pick out what they

don’t like. A person I know hates olives

with a passion. He has the option of pick-

ing olives out of a salad. But I recently saw

horror in his eyes at a party. The olives

were ground up in the salad!

Even a CIA agent might fi nd it hard to

know why some people avoid certain foods.

Picky eaters will tell friends they avoid

oysters because of the smell. But the real

reason is that they are too slimy.

But the ultimate devastating nightmare

for a picky eater is to be invited to dinner

at a friend’s home where there is no con-

trol over the food. The anguish starts early

when the host passes fi nger food and they

wonder, “What’s in it?” Then fear sets in

of what the host will serve for the main

meal.

How many people are picky eaters? Ex-

perts say their numbers are increasing due

to public awareness of Obsessive Compul-

sory Disease (OCD). They claim that picky

eating is normally not considered a dis-

ease, such as the compulsive symptom of

having to wash hands 100 times a day. But

some picky eaters can become depressed

when this disorder affects their quality of

life. So can parents save children from din-

ner nightmares later on in life?

Helen Coulthard, a psychology research-

er at De Montford University in Leicester,

England, reports an experiment that may

cure picky eaters. Seventy children, age

two to fi ve, were asked to play with slimy,

mushy food and to fi nd a buried toy at the

bottom of mashed potatoes or jelly. Chil-

dren were then rated on a score of one to

fi ve on how they reacted to getting their

hands dirty.

Researchers concluded that those chil-

dren who were happy to get their hands

dirty were less likely to suffer from food

neophobia, a fear of tasting new food. So

the moral is, don’t force children to eat

foods they don’t like. Rather, design games

or fun with different foods and there will

be fewer adult picky eaters.

I wondered while researching this col-

umn how I would rate on the picky scale.

My wife would say, “Not very good.”

I admit I’m a rare meat and mashed po-

tatoes guy. I too hate olives and onions that

appear in everything! But I never refuse

dinner at a friend’s home.

The Red Deer Rage senior

women’s lacrosse team took on

the Sherwood Park Titans during

a match this past Sunday at the

Kinex Arena. The Rage lost out to

the Titans 5-0 in the mid-season

game.

Coach Harold Albrecht wasn’t

concerned with the loss on Sun-

day or the fi ve previous losses

this season, stating his team of

around 20 players is composed of

primarily players who are new

to the sport with a core group of

seven or so experienced players.

He added the continuation of

women’s lacrosse in Red Deer has

been a struggle in the past, noting

there are some essential differenc-

es between men’s and women’s

lacrosse. Primarily the differenc-

es can be viewed in the speed be-

tween the two sexes and the level

of contact present in the game.

With lacrosse programs in the

City starting kids as young as

four and programs available to

adults 18 and up – female lacrosse

players play alongside their male

counterparts until the bantam

age group when the rules of the

game play begin to allow cross-

checking.

“At this age boys are becoming

men and they tend to be quite a

bit bigger than the ladies,” ex-

plained Albrecht. “They move

faster and hit harder.

“Even though there is a lot

of contact in women’s lacrosse

there isn’t as heavy of contact as

in the men’s.”

One of the struggles he fi nds as

a coach of new players is to instill

that level of contact into inexpe-

rienced players.

“If you listen to me yelling

from the bench it usually sounds

something like, ‘Hit anything that

comes through!’ meaning I want

them making constant contact.

“That contact isn’t there to

hurt, it’s there to move players

from the other team into inoppor-

tune scoring locations.”

He explained another dif-

ference easily viewed between

coaching men’s and women’s la-

crosse over the last 20-plus years,

is the team dynamics.

Where as men tend to compete

more with one another within the

team, Albrecht notices a quite

tightly knit atmosphere on this

year’s team – which he adds is a

common theme when coaching

women.

“We’ve been working a long

time to keep growing the women’s

and girls’ programs in Red Deer

- Calgary and Edmonton have a

full lacrosse program from tykes

up to senior women’s and we’d

like to see that happen here.”

Currently there is only the Se-

nior Women’s Rage team and a

girls’ bantam team operating in

the City, with hopes of starting

a junior women’s fi eld lacrosse

team this summer.

Promoters of lacrosse within

Red Deer continue to work to

grow the programs with Albrecht

adding much of their recruit-

ing is done through other minor

sports leagues in the City.

“For years when lacrosse fi rst

came into the City I would go out

to hockey teams, ringette teams,

basketball teams – you name it.

I would show them lacrosse over

the winter and show them how

it can improve their abilities in

other sports.”

He added professional hockey

players such as Wayne Gretz-

ky and Adam Oates have long

preached the benefi ts of cross-

training opportunities present

when playing lacrosse.

“They openly attribute much

of their success in hockey to la-

crosse,” explained Albrecht. “The

skills they learned in lacrosse

such as the softening of their

hands and the ability to always

be looking for the people coming

from behind and the side really

helped their hockey game.”

He added fans love lacrosse be-

cause of the high level of contact

and game speed but expressed

there’s much more to lacrosse

than a high number of hits.

“The game of lacrosse has a

grace to it – whether it’s the play-

ers controlling, passing, or catch-

ing the ball under duress or the

behind the back passes and the

speed at which they are shooting,

lacrosse is truly a graceful game.”

reograph a 15-minute routine depicting

the rise and fall of the people of Alberta in

the time of the 2013 Calgary fl oods.

Exelta Coach Taryn Penrice said the

routine involved a lot of different skills

including artistic, acrobatic and rhythmic

gymnastic skills. “We wanted to tell the

different stories and it focuses on telling

the happy-go-lucky nature of Alberta to

start with and gets a bit gloomier when the

storm hits and everything is shut down,

it then goes on to show how the different

groups worked together to get things done

and all cleaned up and ready to go again.”

Penrice stated the fl oods were a signifi -

cant event for members of the club, and

one that people throughout the world could

relate to. In preparation for the event ath-

letes practice every Sunday in their indi-

viduals clubs, meeting two to three times a

month to practice in entirety for a six hour

run through.

Last week the Exelta Club’s practice had

a visit from Mayor Tara Veer who wished

to bid farewell to the young Red Deerians

athletes whose age’s range from 10-16.

“Just have fun, be yourselves, and don’t

hold back,” advised Veer who stated she

was incredibly proud of the athletes. “It’s

your one chance to be in Finland at your

age so just go for it – the only person you

have to impress with your performance is

yourself and you’ve already done incred-

ibly just by making it there to represent

us.”

HOMES & LIVING

To me, there is nothing more beautiful

than a well designed tile feature.

I have been designing for almost 20 years

and I have never seen such beautiful tile!

The shapes, sizes and materials are the

most vibrant and breathtaking that they

have ever been and it is quite possibly the

best part of my job when I get to create a

fabulous tile design.

In the ongoing saga of my bathroom

renovation I have struggled with what tile

to put in this space, which I’m sure many

of you can understand. I want it all! From

the large format slick and polished tile

to the tiny twinkling mosaics it is almost

impossible to decide what the fi nal look

will be and then a new product captures

my imagination and the decisions start all

over again. The one saving grace with tile

is that there are a few rules and consider-

ations when choosing and these rules can

help reign in your imagination and wan-

derlust when it comes to tile.

The fi rst rule is in regards to size; some

rooms work better with larger tiles and

others will accommodate a smaller for-

mat more easily. Restricted sizes such

as backsplashes or showers may narrow

down your choices and help you chose a

tile based on its size and ease of installa-

tion in a certain space. For example, the

return ‘legs’ down the side of my shower

are extremely narrow which guided me to

choose a smaller mosaic for ease of instal-

lation so I focused on micro mosaics which

would look much better in a smaller space.

Shower ceilings and shower fl oors are

also places where a smaller format tile is

optimum as it needs to follow the slope of

the shower fl oor and larger tiles on a ceil-

ing in a wet area can be prone to falling

down as they are too heavy.

Development of pattern is another im-

portant rule to consider.

If you are tiling a small space and want

a herringbone or brick pattern the size of

the tile is very important for the develop-

ment of the pattern. A past client wanted

a 24 inch by 24 inch tile laid in a brick pat-

tern in her bathroom which didn’t work on

paper as her bathroom was only fi ve feet

wide. The brick pattern would not show at

all in that space with a two foot tile yet she

wanted a large tile on the fl oor to reduce

grout lines so we chose a 12 inch by 24 inch

tile which made the pattern work perfectly.

A backsplash that is 18 inches will not

give you much room for a mosaic if you

choose an 18 inch tile and that small back-

splash behind your bath vanity is only six

to eight inches so thought must be given to

the size of tile used.

On the practical side, consider the func-

tion of the space the tile will be used.

Highly polished tiles are beautiful but

can be treacherous in wet areas such as

showers or around bath tubs. Smaller tiles

in very wet areas mean more grout lines to

clean and seal to keep them free of mould

and porous tiles such as marble can give

you grief behind your stove if you make a

lot of spaghetti sauce!

Tile is gorgeous and easier to choose

than you realize if you consider a few rules

of layout fi rst.

HOMES & LIVING

The mortgage process can be confusing

to say the least.

Most of the time our attention is focused

on the rate and terms but there are many

pieces to the mortgage and the types of in-

surance are something that deserve a min-

ute of your time for sure.

Mortgage default insurance - mortgage

default insurance is usually, though not al-

ways, for those who have less than 20% to

put down on a new home.

This insurance is for the benefi t of the

mortgage lender. If you default on your

mortgage, the lender has insurance that

this third party will cover any losses the

lender then incurs.

There are three insurance providers in

Canada; CMHC, Genworth and Canada

Guarantee. They all serve the same pur-

pose. You pay them a set percentage of the

mortgage amount.

95% (or 5% down) 3.60%

90% - 95% 3.15%

85% - 90% 2.40%

80% - 85% 1.80%

(Please note that these rates can be very

different for those who are self-employed,

purchasing a second home or those pur-

chasing a vacation home so please check

with your mortgage professional).

The mortgage default premium is added

to your mortgage so don’t worry that you

will have to provide a cheque up front.

Title insurance - title insurance is be-

coming increasingly more common these

days. Lenders may require it and if so the

cost is about $249 plus GST and will be col-

lected at your lawyer’s offi ce.

Title insurance protects the lender in

case your home is not compliant with the

municipal zoning. Say for example that a

garage was built which actually is two feet

into the neighbour’s lot.

If the neighbour and the city will not

agree to an easement which would allow

for this, then the title insurance policy

kicks in and they will do what has to be

done to make things compliant.

For a small additional fee you can up-

grade to a complete title insurance policy

and be protected from things like identity

theft, mortgage fraud or if the home had

renovations done which were not up to

code.

Home insurance - if you have a mort-

gage then you are legally obligated to have

home insurance in case of fi re or the myr-

iad of other things a good home insurance

policy covers.

You will be required to provide proof of

the coverage to the lawyer before the mort-

gage funds.

Life/disability insurance - your mort-

gage is likely your biggest debt and it’s so

important to ensure that your people are

protected in case the worse happens. You

will be offered a policy by your mortgage

professional during the process.

There is no legal obligation to accept

so don’t let them convince you otherwise.

BUT, you really owe it to yourself to ensure

you have suffi cient coverage.

Disability is the number one reason for

mortgage default in Canada so please for

the love of Pete take the time to review

your coverage.

There you have it.

The four types of insurance your mort-

gage professional will need to tell you

about. As always dealing with a qualifi ed

professional is the best way to navigate the

tricky world of mortgage. Take care!

You’ve decided to pur-

chase a condo and have

begun your search. Now

some well-timed tips will

help you on your condo-

buying journey.

“Condos are a great

option for people who

don’t want the hassle of

maintaining a house,”

says Alan Stewart, bro-

ker-manager with Royal

LePage Sussex in North

Vancouver.

“Condos are also ideal

for downsizers and for

fi rst-timers looking to

break into the real estate

market.

Armed with the right

information, you can

make choices to ensure

that the condo you pur-

chase today is marketable

to buyers tomorrow.”

For example, to pre-

serve the resale value in

your condo, Stewart rec-

ommends researching

locations thoroughly, and

consider how the ambi-

ance of the neighbour-

hood might be different

between daytime, evening

and weekend hours. He

also offers these guide-

lines:

• Opt for the highest

square footage you can

afford. Smaller units are

more diffi cult to resell.

• A stately view will

help make your day-to-

day living more enjoyable

and serve to impress fu-

ture buyers.

• Even if you don’t use

a parking space, you can

rent it out and future buy-

ers will appreciate the

availability of parking.

• Likewise, a locker

is highly recommended

since storage in a condo

usually comes at a pre-

mium.

• Find out if occupants

of the building are pri-

marily owners. A higher

ratio of renters could

make resale more diffi -

cult.
