Local dancer sees success under the bright lightsGeorgina Moore lands ensemble role in 42nd Street production

BY ERIN FAWCETTRED DEER EXPRESS

One former Red Deerian is dancing under the big lights after she was cast in a Broadway musical earlier

this year.Georgina Moore has landed a role in the

female ensemble for the show 42nd Street and is touring across the United States with the production.

“There are 18 of us girls and there are 10 boys. I’m part of all of the big dance numbers in the show. In my opinion, I have one of the most fun parts - I get to be in all of the big dance numbers and I get to wear all the fancy costumes,” she said. “There’s really, really elaborate dance numbers in this show and that’s why it’s every dancer’s dream to be part of this musical because as a dancer the numbers are second to none. The chore-ography, the staging, the costumes - as a dancer this is the show you want to do absolutely.”

According to their web site, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the leading lady breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star.

The production is directed by Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner - both of who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

The original 42nd Street opened in 1980 and was revived in 2001. It is the 14th lon-gest running show in Broadway history.

The original production won two Tony Awards in 1981 - one for Best Musical and the other for Best Choreography. The production also won two Drama Desk Awards that same year for Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.

The 2001 revival was also awarded some hardware in the form of two Tony Awards for Best Musical Revival and Best Leading Actress. It also won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival that same year.

A recent graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy this past spring, Moore decided to audition for 42nd Street in February. “I had heard there was this big audition for the show and it has always been a dream to be in this show - I love tap dancing - so as soon as I heard, I fi gured why not give it a shot? There were around 300 girls at the au-dition. It was very overwhelming at fi rst and it was also my fi rst professional au-dition in New York City.”

Moore said the morning of her fi rst audi-tion, she set her alarm for 4:30 a.m. Along with a few friends, they took the subway downtown and signed their names up on

the audition list. The group went back home and back to sleep before returning at 11 a.m. for their audition.

“The fi rst day we learned some chore-ography and at the end of the day they made some cuts and I heard my number called which is exciting, so I continued on. We had a series of callbacks which basically means you continue to come in and sometimes they would ask us to pre-pare a song or to learn some lines from the show if we were being considered for a role. That callback process continued to happen for about 10 days,” she said. “The stakes get higher the further you get into it.”

Moore made it to the fi nal callbacks. “I did my dancing, I did my singing and I did my acting and that was it. I had done everything that I could. I put my best foot forward, literally, and I did the best that I could.”

A short time later, Moore did get the call that she had landed a job in the ensemble for the show.

“It was amazing, I couldn’t really be-lieve it at fi rst. It seemed to surreal to me that two weeks before I didn’t even know about the audition and now I was sitting there and I have a 13 month contract on my hands. It was a very special day. I will never forget that day.”

The tour offi cially opened in Salt Lake City in September.

“We did fi ve or six shows in Salt Lake City. My parents were able to fl y and my mom saw the show three times and my dad came twice and they were really happy to be there. They loved the show.”

Over the course of 13 months, the group will tour to 66 cities and perform more than 260 times and life on the road is something that Moore said she is adjust-ing to.

“You really make it up as you go. Some things you are prepared for - like I was mentally prepared to be on a bus some-times for 10 hours a day. But there are always going to be things that you could never really prepare for,” she said. “Living out of a suitcase is an experience - you can’t pick up too much along the way oth-erwise your suitcase will be too heavy. It’s hard but I feel like it is getting better. I am fi nally feeling like I am fi nding my groove and how to get along those long bus days.

“But it has been fun because the cast is amazing and it’s amazing to think we’ve only been working together since mid-August since we started rehearsals in New York and now just under two months later they already feel like a big family to me. We’re all in it together - we’re all on the bus together, we’re all on stage together, we’re all in the hotels to-gether. We are really living and breathing this together.”

Meanwhile, Central Alberta has seen its fair share of talent come out of the area whether it be in theatre, sports, business, and of course dance, among others. For Moore said she encourages all of the as-piring dancers in the area to follow their dreams.

“It is important to take advantage of every opportunity that is in front of you because no matter who you are taking a dance class from or no matter who you are learning from, I really believe there

is something to be taken and learned from every teacher or studio or class you encounter. I really believe my foundation started in Red Deer with my training and I trained at multiple dance studios in Red Deer with more instructors than I can remember,” she said. “If you would have asked me last year what I would be doing, I never would have said this. You have to be open minded and try new things. Never miss a chance to dance.”

Council green lights traffi c enhancements

for south endBY MARK WEBERRED DEER EXPRESS

City council has endorsed a plan to improve entrance into Red Deer on the south end.

The new project from Alberta Transportation would see a single lane exit option that ultimately provides three lanes into the City - two lanes onto Gaetz Avenue and one lane to 19th St. and Taylor Drive.

City offi cials have been looking at differ-ent plans over the past few years to deal with the increasing fl ow of traffi c into the City, and, according to council notes, the province has requested approval to move this project forward. It was back in 2009 that Alberta Transportation had a func-tional planning study done for the Hwy. 2/QEII corridor. The study showed that short-term and long-term improvements were needed for the corridor, including the interchange upgrade at the QEII and Gaetz Avenue.

“Alberta Transportation has made a number of amendments to the de-sign which have improved it,” said Craig Curtis, City manager. “I want to empha-size that the main purpose of this struc-ture is to alleviate what the minister and the government considered to be one of the worst hazards on Highway 2 between Edmonton and Calgary,” he said.

“There have been trade-offs here where I think they’ve moved in a very measured way towards where we would like to see it,” he said.

The goal is also to have it completed in time for the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

“I think this is a program that addresses the current reality and the fl exibility to expand,” said Councillor Lawrence Lee.

Mayor Tara Veer added that while, “It’s not without its trade-offs, I think there is substantial improvements from the option that council was presented with in 2010 and 2011, and it’s refl ected in the letters that went back from our adminis-tration.

“Ultimately, it’s Alberta Transportation’s

project and they are looking to resolve what is a substantial safety concern for our citizenry but also provincially as well,” she said, adding that another good point in the plan is that it protects coun-cil’s ability to open the discussion in the future. Our traffi c patterns might change.

“Council’s position on this is very clear, that if Alberta Transportation is going to move to construction on this, it needs to be sooner rather than later so when we welcome 25,000 Canadians in 2019 we absolutely cannot be pre- or mid-con-struction in 2019.”

In other news, council also approved changes to the Culture Fee for Service grant program for the 2016 funding year.

The program, which has been renamed the Community Culture Development Fund, has been in place for 15 years and provides fi nancial support to not-for-prof-it organizations that deliver arts, culture and heritage initiatives within Red Deer.

“Our community’s unique culture is conveyed through artistic expression, cre-ative citizens, public art, natural and built heritage features, cultural heritage, festi-vals, special events, and more,” said Tara O’Donnell, culture superintendent. “The Community Culture Development Fund is designed to support these initiatives and build the kind of vibrant community that Red Deerians have expressed is import-ant to them.”

In addition to the name change, other changes have been made to strength-en the program, including a focus on outcomes, simplifi ed application process, changes to funding categories and oppor-tunities for multi-year funding.

The intake period for the 2016 funding year will run from Nov. 1st to Dec. 1st and the application forms will be available on the City’s web site Nov. 1st.

To help applicants understand the new program and application process, work-shops will be held Nov. 9th from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Nov. 12th from 7 to 9 p.m. The workshops will be held at Culture Services, which is located at 3827 – 39th St.

A look at the history of HalloweenOn Saturday evening, little ghosts and

goblins will be crisscrossing Red Deer streets in the search for plenty of treats.

For many of us, we have fond memories of choosing our costumes, carefully stak-ing out the houses that give out the best candy, and running from house to house in hopes of an overfl owing candy bag at the end of the night. There are now lots of choices for children and their families – several community events are planned as well as alternatives to hitting the streets. Either way, celebrating the ‘spooktacular’ occasion is as popular as it ever was.

Halloween dates way back but the meaning has changed over the years.

According to Wikipedia, Halloween or Hallowe’en (a contraction of its original title All Hallows’ Evening) also known as All Hallows’ Eve is a yearly holiday observed around the world on Oct. 31st, the eve of the western Christian feast of All Hallows.

According to some scholars, All Hallows’ Eve was originally infl uenced by western

European harvest festivals and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots, particularly the Celtic ‘Samhain’. Others maintain that it originated independently from ‘Samhain’ and has Christian roots.

The word Halloween was fi rst used in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even (‘evening’), that is, the night before All Hallows’ Day.

Today, trick or treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house asking for treats such as candy with the question, “Trick or Treat?”

The word trick refers to a (mostly idle) ‘threat’ to perform mischief on the home-owners or their property if no treat is given.

In this custom, the child performs some sort of trick. For example, sings a song or tells a ghost story or joke to earn their treats. Other typical activities include carving pumpkins, attending costume parties, apple bobbing, visiting haunted

attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories and watching horror fi lms.

The traditions and importance of the Halloween celebration vary signifi -cantly among countries that observe it. In Scotland and Ireland, tradition-al Halloween customs include children dressing up in costume, going ‘guising’, holding parties while other practices in Ireland include lighting bonfi res and hav-ing fi rework displays.

Mass trans-Atlantic immigration in the 19th century popularized Halloween in North America and celebrations in the United States and Canada have had sig-nifi cant impact on how the event is ob-served in other nations.

This larger North American infl uence, particularly in iconic and commercial elements, has extended to places such as South America, Australia, new Zealand, continental Europe, Japan, and other parts of east Asia.

In addition, with the daylight getting shorter, it’s also important to be mindful

of safety when it comes to trick or treat-ing.

The Alberta Motor Association recently released some tips which include plan-ning for a light-coloured costume or add-ing bright refl ective strips to be more visi-ble to drivers. Glow sticks can brighten up a dark costume. Heavy masks can also af-fect a child’s vision – opt for face paint in-stead of masks and make sure peripheral vision is clear. Always lift up your mask to cross the street. If your little ghouls are fl ying solo this year, walk through the route with them early in the week, and have set times for them to check-in. Front yard frights are part of the fun, but make sure your walkway and yard are clear of tripping hazards like tools, cords and de-bris, and have a safe, quiet (indoor) place for your pets. Strangers and costumes may put them on edge.

Meanwhile, whatever the tradition, you can be sure that this Saturday, there will be a parade of children on the streets in search of one thing only – candy.

Thoughts about life while running in a cemeteryIt was a crisp, sunny

morning for a run along Toronto’s Kay Gardner Beltline Trail. Having spent the previous day travel-ling, I was anxious to get moving. I turned on my tunes, hit the timer on my watch and quickly fell into a comfortable rhythm.

I was relishing the beau-ty of the changing season. The rays of the autumn sun, low in the sky, fi l-tered through the trees, and glinted off the rustling leaves that slowly drifted towards the ground. Black squirrels foraged at the edges of the path. A cardi-nal caught my eye.

Before long, the high wall that marks the boundary between that section of the beltline and Mount Pleasant Cemetery came into view. In order to continue along the tree-lined trail, I needed to run

through the cemetery.This was not the fi rst

time that I had run through the cemetery. As on previ-ous occasions, it felt a bit odd to be jogging along-side headstones. There was something vaguely unsettling and disrespect-ful about it, as if life were thumbing its nose at death. Yet, at the same time, it felt quite natural.

On this particular day, as leaves were decaying underfoot, I was acutely conscious of the proximi-ty between life and death. In the buildings and along

the byways outside the cemetery wall and along the trail itself, we humans, like ants intent on a task, were consumed with the business of living. Unless we were in the act of bury-ing our dead, the cemetery was just a pleasant park; its graves had nothing to do with us.

I began to speculate about the lives of those who were buried here. Perhaps these graves that stretched out in every di-rection from where I ran had something to tell me.

Initially, I was intrigued with the individuals whose tombs bespoke wealth or importance. But then, the light went on. Death levels the playing fi eld. Distinctions of wealth, race and status crumble. Rich or poor, famous or infamous, we all come to the same end. All that we amass gets

left behind. Death reduces; we are “dust to dust, ashes to ashes.”

Maybe because it was a beautiful day and I was feeling healthy and vig-orous, the commentary in my head was curiously uplifting despite its mor-bid subject. I actually felt more alive.

I think that periodically refl ecting upon our mor-tality has some benefi ts. It creates a sense of urgency about living well, which for me means to live more simply, and with more mindfulness, compassion, gratitude and love. It can help us defi ne the things that make life meaning-ful and prioritize the tasks that out of necessity occu-py our time.

Coincidental to my visit to Toronto, the Royal Ontario Museum had an exhibit on Pompeii. I spent

several hours wandering amid artifacts that told the story of a community abruptly destroyed, lives suddenly snuffed out; arti-facts that left me ponder-ing once again the fl eeting nature of human life.

A carbonized half loaf of bread and a bowl of fi gs were stark reminders that life can change in an in-stant. An exquisite gold and emerald necklace delicately wrought and in perfect condition was one of the artifacts that exem-plifi ed human creativity and our appreciation for beauty. Like many of the other items on display, it also represented for me the human quest for wealth and status, and the age-old practise of ordering human society based on the two.

The exhibit ended with the poignant and sobering display of plaster casts of

individuals who had per-ished. Rich or poor, import-ant or insignifi cant in the eyes of society, all those in Pompeii suffered the same fate; buried under four metres of ash, their fi nal resting place was an extraordinary cemetery.

When I set out for my run, I had no intention of think-ing about death. My pur-pose was much more mun-dane. Yet, as I ran through the cemetery, its graves, like the well-preserved and stately artifacts of Pompeii, reminded me that, “There is a season for everything, a time for every purpose under heaven,” and that the fullness of life includes all of human experience.

Thirteen children from Red Deer recent-ly experienced the trip of a lifetime to Disneyland through the partnerships of the Dreams Take Flight Club.

The Dreams Take Flight Club is a na-tional organization that was started by Air Canada. A plane is donated fully staffed to the Club annually to take chil-dren to Disneyland who would not other-wise have the opportunity. Various com-munity groups identify children in need and fundraisers are organized throughout the year to expense the trip.

Jeff Rock got involved with the trips through Gaetz United Church and said the experience is extremely fun and re-warding.

“It’s for kids who are identifi ed by their teachers or volunteer organizations who need something special. Some of the kids are in care with foster parents, some of them are kids with special needs or some have behavioural issues. All of them are identifi ed through another organization as those who need a little help,” Rock said.

The local Club works together with the Edmonton organization to make the day a possibility. Calgary also has a program as well as various other cities across the country.

“It is the most intense day of the year for these young kids and seeing the joy on their faces is absolutely spectacular. There is one volunteer for every two kids, so they are well supervised and well cared for,” Rock said.

“The group gets on a plane at six in the morning and fl ies to Disneyland - we don’t even go through customs. We have our own sort of bee-lined version where we get out at the hanger, get on a bus, get to Disneyland and spend the day there.

We get back on the plane and are back around midnight.”

Parents, teachers, Dreams Take Flight organizers and volunteer association members get together in secret to fi ll out paperwork for children who have been identifi ed for the program. The chil-dren are gathered together for a day in Edmonton, where they are surprised with the announcement of their trip to Disneyland.

“It’s amazing to see. The kids cry and laugh and get so excited,” Rock said with a smile.

Children are identifi ed through organi-zations such as the Gaetz United Church, Red Deer Public and Catholic School Districts, and the Boys and Girls Club Red Deer District, a branch of the Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer.

Kathleen Reid of Gaetz United Church said the churches fi rst involvement in the program was May 2001. Her mother was the fi rst female chaperone for the event and now Reid continues to stay involved.

“At that time six children from Red Deer got to go. Gaetz United teamed up with Red Deer schools and talked with counsellors, administration and teachers to fi nd possible candidates to take on the trip,” Reid said.

“The past few years Youth and Volunteer Centre has been an agency as well. Between Gaetz United Church and the Youth and Volunteer Centre we sent 13 kids this year. We meet with parents in the spring to fi ll out paperwork, secretly of course, so the children don’t know. Typically the parents and the agency fi nd out late August or early September who is approved to be on the trip.”

To get involved with the local Dreams Take Flight Club go to www.dreamstake-fl ight.ca or connect through Gaetz United Church or the Youth and Volunteer Centre.

100 Kids Who Care raise funds for SPCABY ERIN FAWCETTRED DEER EXPRESS

The fi rst meeting was held this past weekend for 100 Kids Who Care and orga-nizers are thrilled with the outcome.

The event was held last Saturday at St. Patrick’s Community School and saw 149 kids attend who ultimately raised $1,490.

The charity that was chosen to re-ceive the donation was the Red Deer and District SPCA.

The format of the event included 15 local charities who had their information displayed at various booths around the gym. Three of the charities were select-ed at random to present to the group and included the SPCA, the MS Society and Suicide Information and Prevention Services.

As well, there were various activities on site including a bouncy house, games, crafts as well as small groups where a leadership team from Dance Magic Studio talked about how to make a positive change in the community on more of an ongoing basis and different ways to fund-raise money for the next 100 Kids Who Care meeting.

“From the moment the kids walked through the door they were engaged,

connected, and ready to learn. It was in-credible to see so many youth in our com-munity come together to make positive change in their community. There were kids ranging from four to 18 years so the blend of ages was a really nice touch. The younger children had many to look up to and the older kids played a great role in leadership,” said Christine Slaymaker, one of the organizers of 100 Kids Who Care. “The kids were inquisitive and genuinely interested in learning about the charities that were in attendance. Each and every booth had a gathering of children armed with questions and a keen desire to make positive change in our community.

“We had an open fl oor discussion about ways the kids can extend this reach be-yond just our meeting and they were able to come up with some fantastic ideas. From random acts of kindness like shov-eling someone’s walk or helping them to their car with groceries, to fundraising efforts, community clean up projects and volunteer opportunities.”

Slaymaker said it was heartwarming to see children get so involved in the event.

“Many of the kids left with excitement to encourage friends and family members to join our next meeting. We are hoping to one day be Red Deer’s 500 kids Who Care

and counting! I feel incredibly proud to have been able to be a part of this event. Red Deer’s youth are inspiring, creative, and passionate about making a differ-ence. Truly young leaders of tomorrow. Our future. Change makers,” she said. “It is hugely exciting and I think the biggest thing is that this is about kids. There are so many great opportunities and Red Deer is such a great place to host com-munity events and to get people involved.

This is so unique in the sense that this is about the kids and I think they will feel completely empowered and hopefully ex-tend beyond what we are doing.”

The next meeting is set for this spring and Slaymaker encourages continued community involvement. To register for the next meeting, visit www.reddeer-dancemagic.com or visit the Dance Magic Studio.

Between provincial sur-veys, local City council and independent groups there is much discussion on the topic of payday lending regulations in Alberta.

The province’s pay-day lending regulations expires in June of 2016. In response, the govern-ment has put a survey on Service Alberta to gather input on current practic-es and potentially new regulations. Red Deer City council addressed this issue earlier this year and the issue is arising again as November is Financial Literacy Month.

On Nov. 5th at 7 p.m., the Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance (CAPRA) will screen the fi lm SPENT at the Welikoklad Event

Centre, followed by a panel discussion. The event aims to educate the public on payday lending, current regulations and to encour-age discussion around the issue.

“It’s a really timely issue in the City. There’s a lot happening, not just mu-nicipally but provincially as well, looking at pay-day loans and regulations,” said Dianna Souveny of CAPRA.

“With the downturn in the economy, more people might be accessing these kinds of lenders and not realizing the kinds of traps they can get into with that. There are things happen-ing across Canada with payday lending and loans and trying to regulate them in a more positive way that impacts our more vulner-able people in municipali-

ties that access these fund-ing sources.”

Payday loans are clas-sifi ed as a loan below $1,500 that are taken out for a maximum of 62 days. People can qualify for these loans online or in store.

A survey has been post-ed to the Service Alberta web site to gain input on current and proposed reg-ulation changes. This in-formation is designed to help the Alberta govern-ment better regulate the issue of payday lending.

Souveny said a major issue with the current regulations is the ability for provinces to essential-ly overrule the Criminal

Code, and charge up to 600% interest on loans. This translates to lend-ers being allowed to, in Alberta, charge $23 on each $100 of the loan.

“The maximum annual interest rate allowed by the Criminal Code is 60 per cent, but in Alberta lenders can charge up to 600 per cent,” Souveny ex-plained.

“If you look at the annual percentage rate - which is how they calculate payday loans - and a person were to borrow $300 for two weeks, they could pay 600 per cent interest on that money over two weeks.”

Souveny offered a few

statistics on the types of people who are most often using payday loans.

“People using these types of loans tend to be males, aged 18-34, people who make less than $30,000 a year and often it’s the working poor. Those are the people who are work-ing full-time jobs, some-times more than one, who are earning less than $15 an hour,” she said.

Additionally, she said there is a higher use of payday loans in prairie provinces. She said often times people who are using payday loan ser-vices are using them on a monthly basis.

“The statistics also say that only 28 per cent of people getting payday loans are using them for unexpected reasons, whereas a lot of people tend to use them to cover necessities or routine bills. Fifty-fi ve per cent of peo-ple are using these loans to cover necessities or rou-

tine bills, so there is the uncertainty of how do I know I won’t need anoth-er loan next month,” she explained.

Part of the reason for the screening of SPENT and holding the panel discus-sion is to open people’s eyes to how payday lend-ing can in turn hurt local economy.

“Part of our advocacy is around how if people are spending their money on payday lending then they aren’t putting their money into the local economy. If I’m busy trying to pay off that loan, I can’t spend it on anything local that would support the econo-my,” Souveny said.

“It’s a very timely issue. We want to encourage people to be aware.”

The Nov. 5th screening of the movie and panel discussion is a free event with experts and repre-sentatives on site for pub-lic questions.

Bashir Gaashaan sentenced in murder case

Bashir Gaashaan, who pleaded guilty to second degree murder in relation to the 2011 death of a young Red Deer mother, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison without the chance of parole for 10 years.

Last week, Gaashaan, 33, pleaded guilty to second degree murder and offering indignity to a human body on what was supposed to be the fi rst day of a three-week trial. The charges are as a result of the death of Jenna Cartwright, 21, in 2011. Gaashaan was initially charged with fi rst degree murder in which he pleaded not guilty to.

Cartwright was found partially clothed on a rural road near the Town of Olds on May 3rd, 2011. Her cousin had reported her missing on April 20th, 2011.

In an Agreed Statement of Facts that was read into the record last week, court heard that Gaashaan and Cartwright had left a mutual friend’s house together and went to Gaashaan’s residence on March 30th, 2011. The document also stated the pair had consumed cocaine together at his home. Gaashaan had left the room and upon his return noticed some drugs had gone missing. He questioned Cartwright and then proceeded to enter his bedroom. The Agreed Statement of Facts indicated that Cartwright leaped onto Gaashaan’s back and a struggle ensued.

The document stated that Gaashaan strangled Cartwright until she was uncon-scious and then gagged her with a black cloth. Gaashaan bound her hands and wrapped her face in plastic and wrapped her body in a duvet.

He then put her body in the basement. The Agreed Statement of Facts stated

Gaashaan tried to bury Cartwright’s body but the ground was frozen, so he left her on a rural road near the Town of Olds. Her body was found on May 3rd, 2011 by a passerby.

Gaashaan was arrested on June 13th, 2011 in Thunder Bay after being charged with tak-ing a motor vehicle without consent. At the time of his arrest for the murder, Gaashaan was already in custody serving time for a 45-day sentence he was given for the previous incident. Gaashaan has remained in custody since being brought back to Red Deer.

The Agreed Statement of Facts also showed that during his interview with police, Gaashaan admitted to killing Cartwright.

After pleading guilty to second degree murder, Gaashaan received an automatic sentence of 25 years in prison. His parole eligibility, which can range from 10-25 years, was determined by Justice Donna Read last Thursday afternoon. She set his eligibility at 10 years.

“In reading the victim impact statements it is evident that the victim was a well loved daughter and mother. No sentence I can impose will ever bring her back or lessen the pain to the family; I can only offer my sincere condolences,” said Read before handing down her sentence. “This does not seem like it was premeditated. It was an impulsive act resulting in the loss of control. I am satisfi ed that Mr. Gaashaan is genuinely sorry for his actions.”

Read also sentenced Gaashaan to three and a half years in prison for the charge of offering indignity to a body. That sentence will be served concurrently with the second degree murder sentence.

After Gaashaan serves his sentence, he faces deportation back to Somalia.

BUSINESSES RECEIVEPRESTIGIOUS AWARDS

The Red Deer & District Chamber of Com-merce has announced the three recipients of the 2015 Business of the Year Awards at their 34th Annual Business Awards gala held Oct. 21st at the Red Deer College Arts Centre.

Three hundred business leaders were on hand to celebrate the success of local business-es. The 2015 recipients are:

- Business of the Year 1- 10 Employees: Plat-inum Homes & Developments

- Business of the Year 11 – 20 Employees: Key Agventures

- Business of the Year 21+ Employees: Blue Grass Sod Farms & Nursery

The Business of the Year Awards are orga-nized by the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce and held annually in conjunction with BDC’s Small Business Week. The Busi-ness Awards are presented in three categories to exceptional businesses within the Red Deer area. All companies, Chamber members and non-Chamber members are eligible to be nom-inated for an award.

Finalists in each of the three categories are selected by an independent judging panel.

WORLD CAR FREE DAY

Many Red Deerians opted to walk, bike and ride free transit to their destination on Sept. 22nd. Residents were asked to try out an al-ternative form of transportation for World Car Free Day to join the global movement to reduce emissions and improve air quality.

Red Deer Transit ridership increased eight per cent overall on World Car Free Day compared to the previous Tuesday.

Public survey results were up over 2014 as well, with a 14% increase in survey responses.

At the Red Deer Public Market on Sept. 19th, approximately 50 Red Deerians signed the pledge to leave their vehicles at home and made the commitment to use alternative trans-portation on World Car Free Day.

More than 60 Red Deer City staff also par-

ticipated in their own commuter challenge, with 33% choosing to carpool with colleagues, 21% walked to work, 21% rode their bike and 15% took transit.

HEALTHY PERMIT VALUES

Commercial, industrial and public sector development have continued to drive strong building permit values so far this year.

For the period from January to September of 2015, total permits issued are valued at $166,590,207, up compared to an estimated value of $130,311,965 for the same period last year.

St. Francis of Assisi Middle School in Lancast-er is in the process of a renovation and addi-tion to the school, worth an estimated value of $3 million. The renovation to the main fl oor of Stantec Executive Place to make way for Hud-son’s Pub added another $1.2 million to Sep-tember permit values.

This year’s September residential building permits are similar to September of 2014, but the estimated value of those permits declined. For the period from January to September of 2015, residential building permits and the value of those permits have experienced declines as compared to the same period last year.

AVERAGE MONTH FOR HOME SALES

Residential sales reported through the MLS® System of the Central Alberta REALTORS® As-sociation numbered 411 units in September 2015. While this was a decline of 18.3% from a record for the month last year, sales in Septem-ber 2015 came in above the fi ve year average for the month, in line with the 10 year average, and also marked the third best level ever for the month. Sales activity in all of Alberta fell 23.7% from September 2014.

New residential listings on the Association’s MLS® System numbered 829 units in Septem-ber, up 16.9% from levels in September 2014. This was a record for the month of September.

There were 2,946 active residential listings on the Association’s MLS® System at the end

of September, up 7.4% from levels at the end of September 2014.

There were 7.2 months of inventory at the end of September 2015, up from 5.5 months reported at the end of September 2014 and on par with the long-run average for this time of year. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity.

The dollar value of all home sales in Septem-ber 2015 was $123.1 million, falling 22% from the record September in 2014. This was still the third best dollar volume for the month of Sep-tember. The dollar value of home sales in all of Alberta declined 27.1% from September 2014.

Sales of all types of properties totaled 431 units in September. This was down 17.7% compared to September 2014. The total value of all property sales amounted to $136 million in September, down 18.1% on a year-over-year basis.

SCHOOL SUPPORTS FOOD BANK

Students and staff at Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame High School collected 1,422 lbs. of food for the Red Deer Food Bank during the recent Stuff a Truck campaign.

“Stuff a Truck and other community initia-tives are important for many reasons. Being the Leadership class, our mandate is to create and build a great sense of community within our school, Division and the surrounding area,” said Stephanie Layden, a teacher at the school.

“This initiative allowed our students to see that a few small deeds or items in this case re-ally can make a positive impact.

“Stuff a Truck was truly a success because of the enthusiasm and compassion within the school community.

“As a result, we were able to share our good fortune with those in need in the community of Red Deer.”

Local group holds discussions on Syrian refugee crisisA group of Red Deerians have come to-

gether to discuss the Syrian refugee crisis through community meetings to develop understanding and support for the issue.

Together the Central Alberta Refugee Effort (C.A.R.E) and Catholic Social Services (CSS) make up the Red Deer

Immigrant Centre. It was through this group that a community conversation was held last week to discuss the issue at large and how local people can get involved.

“The meeting was a public information session. Over the past month or so, we’ve been discussing the Syrian refugee and humanitarian crisis that is evolving, both in the Middle East and in Europe. The pri-

mary reason for the meeting was to bring the public up to date on what is hap-pening and how private citizens, com-munity groups and faith communities can support Syrian refugees,” said Alice Colak, vice-president of Immigration and Settlement Services with CSS.

In addition to general information pro-vided about the Syrian Refugee Crisis, attendees were exposed to possible ways they could help those in need.

Private sponsorships, housing families and supporting overseas organizations were a few of the recommended avenues.

“Annually, Red Deer receives around 70 refugees from refugee-producing coun-tries and regions. Over the past year and a half, out of the 75 refugees that came to Red Deer, about 24 were Syrian. We’ve already begun receiving Syrian refugees, but I think over the past month, ever since the photo of the boy who drowned escaping Turkey, people have become more aware and want to know how they can help,” said Colak.

According to Colak, this session was one of many that have been held throughout the province.

These sessions are funded by the pro-vincial government as part of a com-munity engagement strategy to inform citizens about the issue, and about what supports and programs exist in commu-nities for refugees.

Colak said eventually the conversations

will focus on coordinating the receiving of refugees into communities, once they know how many refugees will be except-ed into Canada.

“These people spoke with great com-passion and generosity. Not everybody can help in the same way, so we talked about how people could form together as part of a sponsoring group or a communi-ty group,” Colak said.

“We went through some of the options that people might have, and then some of the participants provided other options like housing a family temporarily while they’re fi nding a permanent place to live. Others offered donations and those kinds of things.”

Colak said at the meeting she feels Red Deer has a big and generous heart.

“We’ve been accepting Syrian refugees for years and it’s been a bit slow for Red Deer.

“There is a community being estab-lished. Other refugee groups include peo-ple from Iraq, Ethiopia and a variety of other countries,” she said.

“There will be more meetings regarding how many refugees Canada will accept, how many will be coming to Alberta and how many will come to Red Deer. We will meet with all the key service providers and stakeholders to bring everyone up to date, and then we will develop a commu-nity plan as to how we can support them.”

SUSPECTS SOUGHT AFTER ARMED ROBBERY

RCMP are looking for pub-lic assistance to identify two men who robbed a local Fas Gas at gunpoint early Satur-day morning.

At 2:40 a.m. on Oct. 24th, two men entered the Fas Gas at 4023 50th St., one bran-dishing a handgun; they left with an undisclosed amount of cash and lottery tickets. Suspect one departed through the front door and suspect two left through the back door. No one was injured during the robbery.

Suspect number one (carry-ing the handgun) is described as Caucasian, in his mid 20s, approximately 5’8” tall, with a slim build. He has thick, short dark hair and was wearing a grey sweater, a zip-up shirt and blue jeans. He was cov-ering his face with what ap-peared to be a t-shirt or ban-dana.

Suspect number two is de-scribed as Caucasian, in his mid 20s and between 5’6” – 5’7” tall. He was wearing a black hooded jacket with the hood up, a red ball cap, blue jeans and sneakers.

RCMP ask anyone with information regarding this

incident to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anon-ymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

ATTEMPTED ARMED ROBBERY

Shortly after midnight on Oct. 25th, Innisfail RCMP re-sponded to the Family Restau-rant in Penhold to investigate an attempted armed robbery. It was reported at a male en-tered the business, produced a fi rearm and pointed it at a female employee. He was con-fronted by another employee and quickly fl ed the business and attempted to get into a silver car. The vehicle sped away from the business at a high rate of speed causing the assailant to fl ee on foot. The culprits departed the scene with nothing to show for their efforts, there were no injuries to the employees or damage to the property.

RCMP ask anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-227-3342. Those wishing to remain anon-ymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

INCIDENT AT MONEY MART

Shortly before 11 a.m. on Oct. 23rd, Red Deer RCMP responded to the downtown Money Mart to investigate what turned out to be a bomb hoax.

Staff at the store received a bomb threat by telephone. The RCMP response to any report of a bomb threat is to put public safety at the fore-front, and police evacuated the Money Mart and a neigh-

bouring business of staff and customers in order to conduct a search of the business. That search of the business deter-mined there was no threat to public safety, and that the threat was unsubstantiated.

While the RCMP take ev-ery bomb threat seriously, it should be noted that the vast majority of so called ‘bomb threats’ are actually hoaxes designed to disrupt a person or location’s normal daily life.

RCMP ask anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anon-ymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

VEHICLES RAMMED IN INCIDENT

On Oct. 21st, members of the Sylvan Lake RCMP de-tachment were investigating a report of suspicious vehicles in the rural area east of Sylvan Lake. RCMP located the vehi-cles and attempted to stop the vehicles however the drivers refused to comply and fl ed the area at a high rate of speed. Base on the danger to the public, members disengaged. While conducting patrols of the area, the one suspect vehi-cle was located, RCMP mem-bers attempted to stop the vehicle a second time and the driver rammed the police vehi-cle causing extensive damage. A second police vehicle close by was also rammed just prior to the suspect vehicle suffer-ing extensive damage as it lost control and rammed a power pole in effort to escape. Two offi cers were injured during this incident with one receiv-ing medical treatment on scene and the other did not

require treatment.The lone occupant was

taken into custody without further incident. Charged is Mitchell Thomas Huber, 21, of Blackfalds, with possession of a prohibited weapon, two counts of failing to comply with a probation order, pos-session of property obtained by crime, operation of a motor vehicle while being pursued, dangerous operation of a mo-tor vehicle and two counts of assault with a weapon.

POLICE LOCATE STOLEN VEHICLE, ARREST SUSPECTS

On Oct. 21st, RCMP offi -cers responded to a complaint of a located stolen vehicle at the Fas Gas in Sylvan Lake. Offi cers arrived on scene and located a lone male occupant of the vehicle attempted to fl ee the scene. In efforts to fl ee the suspect rammed a ci-vilian vehicle as well as a police vehicle and then became stuck when he drove over an em-bankment that dropped about between 6 ft. and 8 ft. The male was taken into custody after a short struggle. Two of-fi cers were injured during this incident however neither re-quired medical treatment.

Anthony David Kardelis, 34, of Red Deer, has been charged with three counts of assault with a weapon, possession of property obtained by crime, two counts of mischief, dan-gerous operation of a motor vehicle, fl ight from police, re-sisting a police offi cer and two counts of breach of probation.

ARREST MADE AFTER HOME INVASION

RCMP have arrested a Red Deer man after a home inva-

sion in Riverside Meadows where the suspect climbed to a second fl oor apartment bal-cony and assaulted two of the people inside with a hammer.

The home invasion and as-sault occurred shortly before midnight on Oct. 16th when the suspect climbed onto the roof of a parked vehicle to gain access to the balcony; two men sustained bruises and abrasions but were able to push their assailant back out of the apartment. The suspect then jumped from the balcony, landed on the same parked vehicle, entered an-other vehicle and fl ed. EMS at-tended and treated the victims on scene.

The suspect was known to his victims, and Red Deer RCMP located him shortly af-terward on 55th Ave. Police executed a traffi c stop and took the suspect into custody without incident.

Tyrel George Jackson, 28, of Red Deer has been charged with break and enter and commit crime, two counts of assault with weapon, posses-sion of stolen property under $5,000, operating a motor vehicle while disqualifi ed, ut-tering threats, mischief under $5,000 and possession of a controlled substance.

PENHOLD HOME INVASION

Red Deer and Innisfail members of the RCMP Priority Crimes Task Force have arrest-ed and charged 19-year-old Brandon Robertson after an attempted home invasion on Oct. 3rd that sent a man to the hospital with non-life-threat-ening stab wounds.

RCMP were called to Red Deer Regional Hospital at 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 3rd to

investigate a stabbing; their subsequent investigation re-vealed that a targeted home invasion had just taken place in the Johnstone Park neigh-bourhood, where two men attempted to force their way into a home and then stabbed one of the residents in the shoulder during a physical al-tercation.

RCMP soon identifi ed one of the suspects, and mem-bers from Red Deer and In-nisfail RCMP arrested Rob-ertson without incident at a residence in Penhold later the same night.

Robertson had several warrants out for his arrest at the time for three separate incidents of failing to comply with court-ordered conditions stemming from Sept. 2nd, Sept. 17th and Sept. 24th. Red Deer and Innisfail RCMP partnered to execute warrants and to arrest Robertson on several of those occasions.

For those three incidents as well as the home invasion, Robertson faces the follow-ing charges break and enter with intent to commit crime, uttering threats, assault caus-ing bodily harm, two counts of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, posses-sion of stolen property over $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000, nine counts of failing to comply with undertaking and four counts of failing to comply with a probation order.

RCMP continue to investi-gate the home invasion inci-dent, and anyone with infor-mation is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anon-ymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Looking back on some ‘Halloween’ tragediesAnother Halloween is

rapidly approaching. It is a time of year when people’s fascination with the super-natural, long-standing mys-teries and all kinds of tragic events, comes to the fore.

One old tragedy took place in Red Deer 100 years ago in August 1915. A young teenager, Richard ‘Dick’ Collins, lost his life in the Red Deer River on a hot summer’s afternoon.

Collins had been born in Ireland in May 1900, the third child and eldest son of James and Margaret Collins. In 1903, the fam-ily emigrated to Canada, settling on a farm near Ruddell, Saskatchewan.

In August 1914, the First World War broke. Collins was too young to join the military. However, in 1915, he decided to try a differ-ent kind of adventure and joined the World At Home carnival while it was in Saskatoon.

On Aug. 16th, 1915, World At Home arrived in Red Deer as one of the main attractions at the annual Red Deer Fair. While the carnival was setting up, he slipped away with another young teenager for a dip in the Red Deer River.

Unfortunately, young Collins was not a good swimmer. He waded out into water well over his head, and began to sink. His companion tried to pull him back to safety, but soon had to give up in order to save himself.

The police and Fire Department were quick-ly called, but arrived too late to save Collins. For the next several days, at-tempts were made to lo-cate the body. The river was dragged with grap-pling hooks. Dynamite was detonated in the hopes that the explosion might force the body to the surface. Unfortunately, these efforts proved un-successful.

Meanwhile, heavy rains in the west country caused the river to rise rapidly. By the end of the week, it was obvious that the body had now been swept down-

stream. No trace of Dick Collins’ body was ever dis-covered.

Another tragedy on the Red Deer River occurred 12 years earlier in August 1903. N.B. Cottle Colwell was a young man from New Brunswick, who had gotten a job with a local lumber company.

While a crew was taking a load of shingles down the river from Red Deer, their raft got caught on Wenman’s Island, near the mouth of the Red Deer River Canyon.

While most of the men were able to jump back onto the raft when it was fi nally dislodged, Colwell was not quick enough and was left behind on the island. The foreman presumed that since the island was only 30 me-tres from the riverbank, Colwell would swim ashore and make his way to a nearby farmhouse. However, foreman inexpli-cably never went back to make sure.

After a few weeks, one of Colwell’s friends began to make inquiries about what

had happened to him. The following summer, Colwell’s parents came out from New Brunswick to help with a search. No trace was found. A pre-sumption was made that Colwell had been swept away while swimming for shore and had drowned.

In March 1905, some workers at a sawmill in the Canyon were shocked when a dog showed up with a human bone with a shoe and a sock on it. They investigated and found another leg bone, several ribs, a thigh bone and a piece of upper jaw with a gold-fi lled tooth on Wenman’s Island. The po-lice were contacted and determined that Cottle Colwell had fi nally been found.

An inquest was held and determined that Cottle Cowell had died “as the result of an accident” and had likely starved to death while waiting for rescue. The jury added that no one who had been on the raft with him was, “In any way to blame.”

Despite the verdict, a de-bate raged for many years as to why Colwell had not attempted to swim for shore and why had no one gone back to the island much sooner to look for him.

Moreover, there are those who claim that on some nights, such as Halloween, one can still hear the ghost of Cottle Colwell, on Wenman’s Island, calling for help in a never-ending wait for rescue.

ENTERTAINMENTThe Barenaked Ladies get set to hit Red Deer stage


After 27 years together and with more than 14 million albums sold, the Barenaked Ladies have hit the road, and have includ-ed a Red Deer stop along the way.

The group plays the ENMAX Centrium Nov. 2nd.

The Barenaked Ladies, which is com-prised of Ed Robertson, Tyler Stewart, Kevin Hearn and Jim Creeggan, have seen much success with their recently re-leased album, Silverball.

Creeggan, bassist for the band, said in-spiration for the album came from many facets.

“On this latest record, I think the in-spiration came from my community. In a way to keep in contact with my kids when I’m on tour, I became the co-chair of my kid’s school council which means kind of running things, organizing events and all that,” he said. “One thing that happened was - this wasn’t initially an inspiration but it was something that was on my mind that really brought me to write a song about it - we were having a facebook debate. It really wasn’t a debate, it was sort of really nasty and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My community was something I loved and here people were getting hurt online and everybody could see it.

“So I started writing about that and what came out was, you know, I kind of hit the wall with the negativity and basi-cally moaning about how much that hurt. So I just started to write about things that I loved about my community and the things that were worth fi ghting for and savouring and appreciating. And so I wrote Narrow Streets. I basically started looking out the window and saying ‘That’s what I love about my neighbourhood, and that’s what I love about my neighbour-hood.’ So I think by getting involved it re-ally gave me a direction emotionally and an investment that really triggered off a song that had meaning for me, just as participating in my neighbourhood gives me more meaning in my life.”

Being together for nearly three decades, the Barenaked Ladies have overcome many challenges and have continued to see much success.

“I think something that is always rele-vant is playing live and we’ve always seen ourselves as a live band. I mean we love recording as well but I think we’ve weath-ered the changes (over the years) mainly because we’ve been going out playing for

people in person,” said Creeggan. “As far as recording goes, I think some things always stay the same there as well. When we make our records, that’s our art. It’s our chance to say where we are. Coming up with new material every record is, I think what keeps us moving forward and we can’t help ourselves but to react to the music that’s going on right now. I think that we as a four-piece really fi nd a way to write, but allow ourselves to be infl u-enced by contemporary sounds.”

Being early on in their current tour, Creeggan said it is enjoyable, but the being on the road for long periods of time does have its challenges.

“What I like about being on the road is - I mean, it is a challenge - the travel is a big hardship. We’re often squished together on a bus which is better than the van, so it can be diffi cult but once you get out on stage and you see the fans who’ve come to see you, it makes it all worthwhile,” he said. “Other things I like about touring is going to special places in the town, you

know a restaurant, or a park. I’ve been looking for a lot of parks these days to go running and it just gives me a real sense of the place and a snapshot (of the city). Also, visiting family - I have some family in Red Deer so I’m going to go visit Katherine - Katherine, I’ll be looking for you,” he laughed. “So yes, it’s a chance to really check in with the country.”

Meanwhile, for Creeggan, music has been in his life since he was a young age and his love for it stuck early on.

“My mom was a piano teacher and so I’d come home from school every day and there would be a kid banging out Bach or Beethoven in their way. I think I just ac-cepted that - that sound and that music was a part of my house. I think it also gave me a real sense of hearing music from people fi rsthand, not through a re-cording necessarily and that’s why I’ve always been really interested in recording and live performance because I really love to hear how people interpret things and hear their sound,” he said.

“In a way, when people are playing music, it’s like hearing them think. And so my mom gave me a lot there, and my dad played piano by ear. He had his handful of songs he’d like to touch on every day. And so again, that really gave me a sense of music. I was lucky to have a great music program in my public school. We had real musicians coming in and teaching the kids which really changed my life forever and I’ll be forever grateful. That’s why I play the bass. That’s how I met Ed and that’s why we’re the band really. We met each other at a music camp that was put on by the school board,” he added. “And then getting into it for a living, I was training to be a symphon-ic bass player. I got really into studying to be a bass player in the symphony and when I started playing with Steve and Ed I think they had an ambition to actually do it for real and I didn’t consider that you can do that but I got into it because they had that foresight and we just never stopped.”

New lease on musical excellence for Sean McCannThere is no doubt singer Sean McCann

is at one of the best, most happiest and creatively-rich places he has been in quite some time.

The acclaimed singer/songwriter is hit-ting the road for his fi rst offi cial tour as a solo artist, with a show at Fratters set for Nov. 11th.

The ‘You Know I Love You Tour’ takes McCann through Ontario and western Canada and is in support of You Know I Love You Collection of Songs that was re-leased over the summer. This tour marks his fi rst since leaving the hugely popular folk band Great Big Sea in 2013.

“I feel like I have a second chance - like I’ve woken up and I’m now free to do what I want to do, the way I want to do it,” he said during a recent chat. The last few years have been a critical time for McCann, who, besides leaving Great Big Sea after a lengthy but hugely successful stint, also gave up drinking and has taken the time to really refl ect on his life and being the person that he truly wants to be.

“For me, making those fundamental changes - stopping drinking and then facing my own past, dealing with it and owning it and not living in shame and denial - those things have fundamentally changed my life,” he said.

“I feel like I’m living, for the fi rst time in 35 to 40 years, a very sincere and authen-tic life. And because of that, I feel like I have a real purpose again,” he said. “I’m

extremely motivated. And even though I left Great Big Sea, the music didn’t leave me,” he added. “In fact, it really has saved my life as well. It was my guitar and my songs that have really gotten me through some dark days.”

In January of 2014, he released his fi rst solo album. Produced by Joel Plaskett, Help Your Self helped him deal with his is-sues of addiction and abuse, showing him there is strength in pain. “It was kind of like my line in the sand; my declaration. I’m now changing my life. I’m acknowl-edging what’s happened to me and I’m going to help myself fi rst, and then I’m going to do whatever it takes.”

He launched the album not really know-ing what to expect, but the response was striking. “No manager, no agents, no nothing,” he added with a laugh. “But it just blew up, and with a different au-dience obviously. People responded by sending emails, by buying the record and the songs.

“They would say, ‘I know that story be-cause that happened to me’, or ‘My wife suffers from this’, or ‘This happened to my uncle’. I immediately realized that I was not alone and that the ‘eureka’ mo-ment. And because of all that, I started to play shows again, sing songs for people and I started to reengage with the world,” he said. “It changed my life to have that opportunity.

“The new project, You Know I Love You, is where I’m at today, which is a far more stable, satisfying and content place. I’m still moving - I’m still in motion. I’m not fi nished - but I think I’m heading in the

right direction for the fi rst time in my life,” he said.

It’s been quite the season in his life. Leaving GBS wasn’t exactly easy, and in some ways, it didn’t go as smoothly as he would have hoped. But it involved leav-ing an identity that didn’t ring true for McCann anymore.

“People didn’t really know me. Great Big Sea was a great party band, and it was all positivity,” he said. But clearly, life is complicated and not without darkness and pain, and McCann began to gradually feel a disconnect from the main essence of what has largely over the years defi ned GBS.

“People know who I am now - I’m not wearing this mask every night,” he ex-plained, adding that his drinking was also making things worse as time passed as well. “I just had to get off that bus lit-erally.”

Meanwhile, the You Know I Love You Collection of Songs was recorded earlier this year at the New Scotland Yard Studio in Dartmouth Nova Scotia with acclaimed artist/producer Plaskett.

The project boasts 10 original, upbeat tracks written by McCann, including This Life is an Ocean of Love, Set Me Free and Little Miss Know-It-All which are available on seanmccannsings.com and iTunes.

And even without the spirited energy that resonated through so much of what Great Big Sea has been and continues to be, McCann, 48, said he has by no means lost his sense of fun.

“My shows are not downers - there very upbeat. And I still have some Great Big Sea songs. But I do allow for some truth to happen there. I always try to make people cry a little bit, and laugh a lot. And I think that brings more to the table. I have more to say now.”

It was back in the early 1990s that McCann shot to fame as a founding mem-ber of the renowned Newfoundland band Great Big Sea. But after millions of al-bums sold, countless hit songs and re-cord-breaking tours around the world, he realized music had become something he was hiding behind.

“Once your focus becomes maintaining a brand, as opposed to being a band - then you start to lose credibility - for me, anyways,” he said. That said, he is ulti-mately positive about his years with GBS and is certainly proud of what the band accomplished.

These days, his tour has McCann per-forming in intimate venues where he can connect with his audience in the way he had always hoped.

He has also found himself using music as therapy, working with people who face physical, mental, and addiction challeng-es, and has become a sought after speak-er trying to help others fi nd light during diffi cult times. As a completely solo artist – no label, manager, no booking agent – he controls every aspect of his career as well as his destiny - and that’s the way he likes it.

“I’m doing smaller rooms which are more sincere and there is real connection. I would rather do 10 small theatres with 200 seats then a hockey rink ever again,” he said, adding with a laugh that if, “I work for 10 nights, then I’ll be staying out of trouble for 10 nights.”

SPORTSRed Deer Curling Club kicks off seasonThe Red Deer Curling Club

kicked off their season last weekend as they played host to their biggest bonspiel of the year at the Pidherney Curling Centre.

The annual tournament, which was held from Friday to Monday last weekend, featured teams from all over Canada and the world.

“Overall it was a very suc-cessful tournament again,” said Martin Broks, one of the organiz-ers of the event.

On the men’s side, 32 teams competed for a total purse of $39,000 while the women’s side featured 22 teams competing for $31,000.

Broks said that about 10 of those teams were from other countries.

The tournament was held in a triple knockout format with only eight teams qualifying on each side for playoffs.

It took three days to determine the eight qualifi ers, but in the end 16 teams advanced to the main event on Monday.

“It was a full curling schedule all day Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday,” Broks said.

On the men’s side, defending champion Josh Heidt, Korea’s Soo-Hyuk Kim and Edmonton’s Mick Lizmore were among the most notable of the teams left standing.

For the women, reigning World Champion Alina Paetz of Switzerland was the favourite to defend her crown, but in order to do that she would have to make it past former Red Deer Classic champ Chelsea Carey.

“There are always one or two teams that you don’t know how they’re going to fare, but they are typically recognizable names that have been around for a few years,” Broks explained, add-ing that they sometimes do see younger rinks in the mix.

And it was one of those young and upcoming rinks that claimed the top prize on the women’s side this year.

In what turned out to be one of the closer games of the week-end, Kelsey Rocque’s rink from Edmonton toppled the defend-ing champion Alina Paetz’s rink from Switzerland in a 9-8 nail-biter that went all the way down to the fi nal end.

In order to make it to the fi nal, Rocque’s team had to make it past China’s Sijia Liu, and Calgary/Red Deer’s Nadine Chyz.

Rocque’s rink went 6-0 throughout the weekend as they picked up a point in four of the eight ends.

Her win breaks a fi ve-year drought during which only one team from Canada won the women’s side of the Classic.

On the men’s side, Edmontonian Mick Lizmore’s rink came up big in the fi nal winning 5-3 over Regina’s Jason Ackerman to fi n-ish a run that saw them go 7-0 and defeat defending champ Josh Heidt in the semi fi nal.

Broks said that overall the scores tended to vary a little more on the women’s side than the men’s.

“On the ladies’ side the scoring was a little wilder,” he said.

Broks noted the contributions of all of the volunteers who worked to make the weekend a success, particularly those who stayed the whole weekend.

“I’m fortunate enough to be treasurer, so I’m just sort of in

and out. But other people, such as the draw master, have to put up with very long weekends.”

Overall, though, he noted that the tournament committee heard a lot of positive feedback from those who attended the Classic.

“We had a lot of good compli-ments on the bonspiel itself and on the general activities of the weekend,” he said, adding that the tournament committee, who has been together for a couple of years now, worked hard to make the weekend memorable for everyone.

“The committee that we have together now has been together for several years and as a result

we each take on several respon-sibilities so none of us have to do too much.”

About 54 teams and 250 curlers competed at the event, and the total overall payout was $70,000.

“It was a very signifi cant pot,” Broks said.

The Red Deer Curling Classic is one of the events on the World Curling Tour and those who qualifi ed for the fi nals earn points towards their overall world standings.

Past winners of the tourna-ment include former Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Jones and Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard.

Strong showing for Generals in home openerBY ZACHARY CORMIERRED DEER EXPRESS

It’s been a long off sea-son, but the Bentley Generals don’t seem to have noticed.

The Senior Men’s AAA hockey club played their fi rst home game of the season at the Bentley Arena on Saturday night, coming away with a 6-2 victory over the visiting Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs.

“I thought we played a full 60 minute game to-

night,” said Head Coach Ryan Tobin after the game.

The Generals went into the game with a 1-0-1 re-cord following a tough shootout loss to the Innisfail Eagles on Friday night.

“We weren’t happy with our game last night so as a coach you always look for a response,” Tobin said, add-ing that his team respond-ed well during Saturday night’s game, especially after the Chiefs jumped to an early 1-0 lead just

three minutes into the fi rst period.

“I don’t think it’s so much we started slow. It was a great bench all night. We stuck with it and the key to the weekend was the way that we responded to things.”

And boy did the Generals respond, as 10 different players contributed with at least one point.

Cody Esposito got the scoring started for the Generals with nine min-utes left in the opening

frame to tie the game at one.

From there it was all Bentley. The Generals added another tally fi ve minutes later to take a 2-1 lead, which they would not relinquish for the rest of the game.

The Generals were very strong in the offen-sive zone, peppering Fort Saskatchewan goalie Tanner Schalin with as many shots as they could.

By the end of the fi rst pe-riod, they had put 16 pucks

on target. At the end of the second, that number stood at 42.

Unfortunately for the Generals, Schalin was lights out, especially in the second period when he turned aside all but one of the 26 shots he faced. The only one that managed to get by him was a Josh Smith one-timer that was so hard it probably could have gotten past anyone without superhuman re-fl exes.

Despite Schalin’s per-formance, the Generals wouldn’t quit. They put 57 shots towards the goal in the game.

“A little more traffi c, a lit-tle more determined effort to get pucks there,” Tobin said.

But the most important thing was the Generals found ways to score. They scored goals on one-tim-ers, breakaways, rebounds and on the PP.

It was Esposito, who many consider the team’s enforcer, that opened the scoring for them in their fi rst home ice appearance of the season.

And Esposito’s name ap-peared on the score sheet again on Teegan Moore’s third period beauty when Moore picked up a pass in the neutral zone from Scott Doucet, who had just received it from Esposito, and took off past the Fort Saskatchewan defenders on a breakaway. Moore barreled into the offensive

zone, made a quick move on Schalin, and popped between the goalie’s pad and blocker for the score.

And that effort result-ed in a game where the Generals scored six goals on a goalie who managed to post a .950 save percent-age, an impressive feat to be sure.

They were passing well and playing physical. They never took their foot off the gas.

Bentley was no slouch on defence or special teams either.

The defensive core al-lowed only 32 shots against and goaltender Thomas Heemskirk was solid, post-ing a .938 save percentage to earn the victory.

Their power play units capitalized on the oppor-tunities they were given and went 1/2 on the eve-ning.

Even the penalty kill was fi ring on all cylinders. The Army’s PK didn’t allow a single goal on six outings, and on a few of the earlier ones they probably took more shots than they al-lowed.

Overall, Bentley looked like a team that can com-pete for the Allan Cup. They responded well when they went down early and they kept possession of the puck throughout the majority of the game, both of which are key compo-nents to a potential cham-pionship team.

Rhino FleFlexex 1x 1LIFESTYLEFive lessons learned - are you guilty of these?More people die from heart

disease than any other cause. In North America, one out of every fi ve deaths is due to heart disease. You know the top fi ve risk factors of heart disease in-clude obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, poor diet, and drink-ing excessive alcohol, but these aren’t the only lifestyle habits that damage your most import-ant muscle.

The following habits may seem insignifi cant, but over time they add up to have a big impact. Remember, while your ticker’s still ticking it’s never too late to take steps to improve its health.

You don’t fl oss - you have a dentist appointment in a few days so you decide to fl oss like mad. Sound familiar? By not act-ing on your dentist’s advice to fl oss regularly, you’re not only hurting your teeth and gums, but you may be putting your heart at risk as well. It sounds crazy, but infl amed gums allow the bacteria in your mouth (and there are a lot) to enter your blood stream, where they fi nd their way to your coronary arter-ies and take up residence. Over time, this narrows the passage of blood, increases blood pressure, and strains your heart.

Lesson learned: fl oss once a day.You’re angry or stressed - fi nd

yourself frequently experiencing road rage, constantly yelling at your kids, or under pressure at work? Anger, unmanaged stress, and anxiety take a toll on your heart and put you at risk for heart disease by increasing your blood pressure, interfering with the heart’s electrical impulses that regulate heart beat, and causing fat to build up in your arteries.

Lesson learned: practice healthy methods of stress and anger management.

You get too much or too little sleep - interestingly enough, the various stages of sleep are good for your heart. Working non-stop to keep you alive, your heart needs a little down time — more specifi cally seven to nine hours of down time every day. Both too much or too little sleep increases

blood pressure and the amount of stress hormones circulating in your blood. Studies show a woman’s risk of heart disease increases by 45% when she gets less than fi ve hours of sleep each night on a regular basis and women who regularly sleep more than nine hours a night

have a 38% increased risk.Lesson learned: get seven to

eight hours of sleep each night.You sit most of the day - your

morning jog may not be enough to offset the dangers of heart disease if you spend the rest of your day sitting. Working at the computer from nine to fi ve, driving in your car to and from work, and watching television all evening set you up for heart problems. While daily exercise helps, it’s not enough to reverse the damage of a sedentary life-style. Your heart is a muscle that

requires frequent exercise to keep it strong and healthy.

Lesson learned: in addition to your daily workout, make sure you’re active for at least fi ve minutes every hour.

You’re lonely - did you know people who live alone are more likely to die from heart disease? Your body produces less stress hormones when someone’s by your side through the good and the bad, but a weak support system, feelings of isolation, depression, and relationship problems are all associated with

heart disease because they’re all causes of stress, infl ammation, and damage to blood vessels.

Lesson learned: reach out to those around you who may be lonely.

Curling ‘funspiel’ in support of ALS research coming up

The sixth annual Judy Schweitzer ALS Curl for a Cure Funspiel is just around the corner, set to run Nov. 7th at the Michener Curling Club.

Carrie Mello began the Funspiel in honour of her mother, who passed away from ALS which is described as a progressive neuro-muscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed.

Eventually, the individual with ALS is left completely immobilize, with loss of speech and eventually with an inability to swallow or breathe. There is no known cause of cure for this devastating disease.

Mello said her mother was passionate about curling, and a fundraiser for the cause that featured the sport seemed the perfect way to go. Proceeds raised go directly to support the ALS Society of Alberta.

“They were so good to me and my family that we wanted to fi nd a way to give back,” said Mello. “We also thought this would be a good way to get people together and also to try curling if they never have while raising awareness and support for ALS.”

Schweitzer’s battle with ALS lasted about four and one-half years, recalled Mello, adding the fundraising tournament was

launched during that time as well.“She loved it. She was never able to play

in it but she came down to the rink and a lot of her friends and family were there. It brought everyone together and just being in the rink made her happy.”

According to the ALS Society of Alberta, ALS can strike anyone.

It most often occurs between the ages of 55 to 65 but can also occur in older and younger adults, and rarely in teenagers. ALS is usually fatal within two to fi ve years of diagnosis.

About 2,500 to 3,000 Canadians are currently living with ALS. In at least 90% of cases, it strikes people with no family history of the disease.

The symptoms and the area of the body fi rst affected can vary from person to person.

Typically ALS involves muscle weakness, fatigue, wasting, stiffness, loss of tone, cramping, twitching, and hyper- and hy-po-refl exion. The onset of the disease may occur in nerves associated with muscles of the upper or lower limbs, the throat or upper chest area.

Of course, awareness of ALS reached unprecedented heights with the incredibly popular Ice Bucket Challenge last year, which saw people from all walks of life have an ice-cold bucket of water poured

on their heads in a bid to raise funds for ALS research across the globe.

In 2014, more than 260,000 Canadians dumped a bucket of ice over their heads and made a donation through the Ice Bucket Challenge.

“That was awesome - it was good to raise the money but I was also excited about the awareness seeing people do the research into it,” she said. “Many people didn’t really know what it was, so they would go and look into it.

”It would just open conversations,” she said. “So I got to have conversations about it with people who had never ever heard of it - I was really excited about that.”

It’s was also important as knowledge of the disease - formerly called Lou Gehrig’s disease - in general isn’t always very well known. And as generations come and go, fewer people know who Gehrig – the famed baseball play who died of the disease in 1941 – even is.

Meanwhile, according to ALS Society of Canada, it’s a costly disease with direct and indirect costs of more than $250,000 over the course of the illness.

And that’s where the ALS Society of Alberta is also supportive, said Mello. “They were so informative and so helpful. They would say, ‘If you ever have any questions,

just call.’ There are so approachable.“My mom went through three wheelchairs

before we found one that worked for her, and it was not an issue for them to track down what we needed,” said Mello, adding that homes have to be fi tted on an ongoing with the proper equipment to assist people with ALS through their daily routines. “They helped us out with most of that,” she said. “That’s one of main reasons we wanted to give back because we felt that support.

“My mom would not have had the qual-ity of life at the end that she did (without that support).”

Last year, the organization supported 341 people living with ALS in the province.

Through their equipment loan program, they provided more than 1,754 pieces of equipment across Alberta to help those living with ALS to stay in their own homes as long as possible.

“We are still looking for donations for the raffl e draws as well.”

Cash donations for the cause are welcome as well, even if a person can’t participate in the event.

A little known cause of falls in seniorsI lost track of the number of

times I was called by hospital emergency to tell me my elderly mother had fallen again. Now, a study shows that atrial fi brillation, re-ferred to as A Fib, an irregular heart rate, is often the cause of falling. I wish I had known then what I know now.

Dr. Sofi e Jansen of the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam, Holland, analyzed the data of 4,800 adults. Twenty per cent re-ported that they had fallen at least once during the past year.

She reports the number of patients suffering from A Fib increased with advancing age, only 1% between 50 and 64 years of age, but 8% for those 75 and older. Over 30% were unaware they had A Fib before the study.

Some A Fib patients notice palpitations, breathlessness or fatigue as the heart rate becomes erratic. Since an irregularly beating heart does not pump enough ox-ygenated blood to the brain, this causes dizziness and researchers say it doubles the chance of falling.

The worry is that A Fib causes blood to swirl around longer in the chambers of the heart. This increases the risk of a blood clot forming and travelling to the brain.

A stroke or a fall may result with serious injury.

Doctors normally treat A Fib with either drugs to thin the blood, making it less likely to clot, or ones to restore the rhythm. But these can cause bleeding and other side-effects. If either fails, more complicated proce-dures such as an electrical shock to the heart, or de-struction of a portion of the heart’s tissue can be done.

Today, I would decrease the risk of treatment com-plications by fi rst trying natural remedies. I would quickly give magnesium as each heart beat is con-trolled by an electrical im-pulse, requiring suffi cient amounts of this mineral. Studies show that most North Americans are defi -cient in magnesium. So a

powder such as MagSense or a magnesium pill can help to save patients from drugs or more complicated procedures.

Next would be a daily 81 mg (milligram) Aspirin to thin the blood. It can, on rare occasions, cause gastrointestinal bleeding, but I believe it is less risky than prescription drugs. I’d also add natural Vitamin E 200 IU which oils the blood.

Dr. Donna P. Denier, a cardiologist and member of The American College of Cardiology, says, “Even in the world of cardiologists it is not well known that diabetes is a risk factor for A Fib.”

She could have added that diabetes is notorious for causing atherosclero-sis, (hardening of arteries) which decreases the fl ow of

blood to the heart’s muscle.My mother did not have

diabetes but since a good supply of blood to the heart is vital as we age, I’d give my mother high doses of Vitamin C 4,000 to 6,000 mg (milligrams) and lysine 2,000 to 4,000 mg daily in powder or capsules. Recent studies show this can prevent and reverse atherosclerosis, a monumental fi nding. (See www.docgiff.com for photos showing this effect.)

Since hypertension and A Fib pose a high risk for stroke, I’d also suggest Neo40.

This miracle molecule decreases infl ammation in arteries and makes platelets in the blood more slippery, so less likely to form a blood clot. Neo40 also increases the production of nitric

oxide causing dilatation of arteries and a decrease in blood pressure. Most people are unaware of this remedy even though this discovery received the Nobel Prize in 1998. All these natural remedies are available in Health Food Stores.

Lastly, for those who do not drink alcohol, don’t start. But for those who are moderate drinkers I’d suggest an alcoholic drink before dinner. Alcohol oils the blood and can help to prevent a blood clot.

I no longer receive calls that my mother has fallen, but like all those who have lost a mother, how I wish I could get that call again.

Do you have a passion for travel?

TRAVELA Disney cruise - a truly magical vacationA Disney fantasy - excellent! This is

something you hear a lot about on a Disney Cruise. Your servers in the dining rooms do not ask if you if enjoyed your meal, they ask if it was excellent; the stateroom attendants ask what they can do to make your holiday excellent and the rest of the crew do not say, “Have a good or a great day”, they say, “Have an excellent day”. For Disney, very good is not good enough!

I recently had the opportunity to travel with 10 of my family members on the Disney Fantasy for a seven-night eastern Caribbean cruise and it was truly a vaca-tion to remember. Out of the 11 people on the trip, 10 had never cruised before and seven had never been out of Canada, so much of the fun for me was seeing the reactions when something new was en-countered. From the second you board a Disney ship and your name is announced for everyone to hear until the moment you disembark seven days later, there is no shortage of effort to make your holi-day memorable.

Our itinerary included stops at St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay and with the excep-tion of brief periods of what the locals call ‘Caribbean liquid sunshine’, the weather was perfect! All of us had days to remem-ber at each port.

Since this was Disney, there was no shortage of activities for everyone on the three sea days. By far the most popular area was the pool deck and the main at-traction there was the Aqua Duck water coaster. This combination water slide/rollercoaster takes you over the edge of the ship and around the deck. Line-ups tend to be long in the afternoon, but during the dinner sittings, we could ride it virtually with no wait. The Mickey and Donald pools were not the largest shop pools and were crowded, however they provided a great vantage point to watch the fi rst-run Disney movies on the huge screen and they provided respite from the 30 degree heat. Nemo’s Reef (for the younger kids) and the Aqua Lab were a blast and it was diffi cult to pull the kids away from any of the water parks.

Disney’s kids’ program is second to none. From nursery-aged children to teens there is something for all of them in the ‘It’s a Small World’ nursery (up to three-years-old), the Oceaneer Club and Lab (ages three to 12), the ‘Edge’ (for the tweens) or ‘Vibe’ for the teenagers.

Security is not a problem here as the system Disney only allows designated parents/guardians to pick the kids up.

What would a Disney cruise be with-out Disney character meet and greets? Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and the rest of the gang show up at designated places and scheduled times throughout the cruise so there are lots of opportu-nities for photo ops. You can also dance with them during the many shows they have mid-ship. The Sail Away show at the beginning of the cruise was amazing (as were the other shows), however, one of the few rain storms we had brought it inside rather than on the pool deck. One thing we discovered was that not all Disney characters are on all ships, so I didn’t have the opportunity to see my princess, Snow White.

The food on the Fantasy was excellent! The rotational dining through the three main dining rooms (The Royal Court, The Enchanted Garden and the Animator’s Palate) and having our serving staff fol-low us to all three of them was unique. Each restaurant had a different atmo-sphere and menu, yet we had the same consistency of service each night. Our servers were exceptional and made each meal a highlight. Each of the kids were made to feel special; my oldest grandson would get his meals cut up by our assis-tant server (which he protested mildly, but loved); my granddaughter was treat-ed like a princess every meal and my youngest grandson (who would rather stay in the room) was taken care of roy-ally. The Animator’s Palate gave us all the opportunity to be animators on the

last night and we also had the chance to have a conversation with Crush the Turtle - Dude!

If you were to ask the 11 of us what our favourite part of the cruise was, there would be 11 different answers. I could think of 10 on my own; my oldest grand-son having a conversation with Crush, my youngest grandson and granddaugh-ter swimming like fi sh in the ocean and the rest of us being so excited when we would recall our days at supper - we could hardly contain our excitement.

Excellence is a very lofty standard to try to attain and with 11 people traveling to-gether you would think it would be tough to please us all, but there was nothing Mickey Mouse about this cruise.

HOMES & LIVING

LAVISH – This Platinum Homes show home in the Laredo subdivision of Red Deer features a large bar area with four televisions, comfortable bar seats and built-in-speakers - perfect for entertaining. Kalisha Mendonsa/Red Deer Express

The joys of helping fi nd the right design elementsI am sitting at my computer with a

steaming cup of Earl Grey and lemon tea, enjoying the sunshine streaming through my living room window – all seems right with the world. School is fi nished and I am fi nally able to go out into the world of real estate sales and design and help even more people achieve their dreams of fi nding the perfect home!

It is counted as a huge blessing that I have been able to add this education to my portfolio and I can’t tell you how excited I am to jump into the deep end of the real estate pool. There are several reasons why I am yearning to get my feet wet and I’m happy to share those with you.

Houses – what can I say? I love houses, all kinds, from the cozy apartment to the looming mansion they are all beautiful or diamonds in the rough awaiting the right love and TLC.

Old to new, I have a crazy love affair with homes and have lived in all types. Every single home has been a joy to improve and change and watching the transformation of these places gives me an unmeasured joy. The idea of now being able to access many more homes and to guide clients to the one they will pur-chase and possibly renovate makes me extremely happy.

Clients – you are the reason for all of this! If you had any idea how much satisfaction comes from a client phoning or emailing (or sending treats) to say ‘I love it - thank

you so much’, you would understand why I do what I do. How the look on a client’s face when they get the vision or see the fi nished result is better than any feeling in the world. To know that I have helped in the slightest of ways to make a home more functional or a room more restful is like oxygen for me. I can’t say thank you enough to all my clients past and future – you make this career so fulfi lling.

Creating new spaces – I’m the crazy person at home yelling at her TV watch-ing House Hunters when potential buyers look at homes and complain about a light fi xture or a paint colour. It is all fi xable and usually for a very small investment! I am itching to fi nd some ugly duckling and with the right client turn it into a graceful abode. Makeover stories are my favorite and home makeovers are the very best kind.

Sales – dollars and cents aside, there is nothing as thrilling as the acquisition and when there is bidding involved it is even more exciting! I have only been to a few auctions in my life and I honestly almost lost my mind. I needed to have my hands tied down and the paddle taken away from me lest I get caught up in bidding. It is in the marrow of my being to facilitate trade and to be able to navigate with cli-ents on the biggest purchase of their lives is going to be amazing.

So here we go! Past, present and future clients we are in for one breathtaking ride. Interior design so far has been the Earl Grey tea and real estate is about to become the honey and lemon. Grey, honey brown and yellow may be the per-fect palette for your next or new home!

HOMES & LIVING

Basement basics to elevate your homeFinishing an underuti-

lized basement makes fi -nancial sense in certain situations, and may add to your home’s resale value.

“For a family who has outgrown their current space and wants to avoid buying a more expen-sive, larger home, fi nish-ing the basement can be worthwhile,” said Alan Stewart, broker-manager with Royal LePage Sussex in North Vancouver. “Yet, there are considerations to ensure your project will be worth the time, effort and expense.

Stewart offers these guidelines to determine if your basement is a good candidate for a renovation and will deliver adequate return on your investment:

• Is there enough head-room? A fi nished fl oor-to-ceiling height of at least 7.5 ft. is required. Include in your calculation 2.5 inch-es for fl ooring and ceiling fi nishing materials. If you own an older home with insuffi cient fl oor to ceiling space, you may need to consider additional costs to lower and underpin the foundation to create suffi -cient headroom.

• Is your basement

wet? You’ll want to ad-dress any moisture prob-lems before you begin. In older homes, moisture issues can be severe. In some cases, you’ll need to waterproof the foun-dation from the outside. Waterproofi ng can add substantially to the cost as excavation, water-proofi ng, weeping tile and backfi ll may be required.

• Are your windows ade-quate? The outside bottom edges of all basement win-dows should be at least six inches above the soil. Consider the size and con-dition of the windows. Are any large enough for fi re escape? Are they operable, damage-free, airtight and energy-effi cient? Be sure to calculate the cost of any needed window upgrades when estimating your costs.

Finished basements provide a myriad of pos-sibilities including guest rooms, nanny suites, play rooms and home theatres. Whether you’re looking to increase the value of your home, or enhance your liv-ing space, do your research to ensure a successful project.

Absolute Custom Designs helps with all your home needsAfter four long years Lacombe’s paint

guy is back!Sean and Angie Stroud, co-own-

ers and designers at Absolute Custom Designs Inc. in Lacombe, are add-ing Para paints to the already diverse range of products and services they offer.

“It was the logical next step, you know? It just seemed like the right thing to do. Both of us have so much experi-ence in it, it just seemed silly not to do it,” laughed Sean, who managed the local paint store in Lacombe for over 10 years before striking out on his own.

According to Sean, Para makes high qual-ity, low v.o.c (volatile organic compound) paints that are both durable, washable and easy to apply.

“It’s more cost effective than many other products. The product itself is really durable with their ceramic microsphere technology. It’s washable and it’s got a great colour sys-tem that is designed around Canadian life.”

In addition to the quality of its products, Para is one of the only paint companies that still manufactures its paints in Canada, making it an ideal fi t for Absolute Custom Designs.

“We’re trying to push products that are made in Canada, made by Canadians,” Sean explained, adding that Absolute Custom Designs prides itself on stocking as much Canadian made products as possible.

“We still carry blinds and drapery. Elite is our blind company and again that’s all Canadian. Our seamstresses are all local and that’s what we try to promote.”

The store also carries everything from art-work to furniture to fabric and everything in between.

“The way that the economy is right now, I think it’s more important than ever to not only shop local and support your local businesses, but to also buy Canadian. That’s why we wanted to bring in Para. You’re not buying from the United States. That money is not leaving the country, everything is staying here.”

Absolute Custom Designs has been a mainstay in Lacombe for the past year as the City’s one stop shop for interior design. Now that they are also selling Para Paints, that is doubly true.

If you need any interior design help, Sean

and Angie have you covered. They have over 30 years of design experience between them and can answer almost any question you may have about interior design.

“When I was at the other paint store, I used to do over three colour calls

a week when I was at my busiest,” Sean said, adding that he can now start offering colour con-sultations at Absolute Custom Designs.

“A lot of times when you walk into a paint store or you’re look-

ing to renovate your house, there’s not a whole lot of help sometimes, you

know? You’re kind of left to the wind to try to fi gure out what you want,” Sean noted, adding that Absolute Custom Designs is there to guide their customers not only with advice on logistical questions such as quantity, but on the selection process as well.

“Making sure everything fl ows, making sure it all goes together so that when it’s all said and done, it looks like it’s supposed to be together,” he said.

They can offer advice on any design ques-tion from small ones such as what piece of furniture to pick that will really tie a room together, to questions about full-scale ren-ovations.

“We’re trying to be a full-on design centre. So essentially you come to us, you tell us what you’re looking for and we make it hap-pen. We relieve a lot of the stress,” Sean said.

In fact, the team at Absolute Custom Designs can take you right through the process and guide you through all of the selections that are necessary to create your dream home in an affordable way thanks to their experience and reasonable price points.

“It doesn’t have to be expensive,” Sean said.

Absolute Custom Designs Inc. is located at #3 4842 46th St. in Lacombe, and now features a brand new paint boutique. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, visit www.absolutecus-tomdesignsinc.com or email [email protected].
