One year ago today the fi rst families

were moving into the Ronald Mc-

Donald House in Red Deer as the

facility offi cially opened its doors.

Since then, 212 families have stayed at

the House.

“It’s surprising that it has been a year.

It feels like we were just doing the opening

not too long ago,” said Larry Mathieson,

executive director of Ronald McDonald

House Central Alberta.

The 11-suite, 27,000 sq. ft. facility, located

at 3908 50 Ave., is built to hospital standards

to ensure the wellness of children who are

recuperating from illness as well as the

family members staying with them. The

charge for a family to stay in the House is

$12 per night.

There is also a room in the House for

families who live close by but are spending

their days at the hospital with loved ones.

Each fl oor is equipped with washers

and dryers as well as a sitting area with

a television. There is also a ‘magic room’

where kids can forget about their family’s

stresses and play in the secret toy room. A

large kitchen is the focal point of the main

fl oor, which also showcases a library and

sitting area as well as a playroom and a

craft room.

Twelve million dollars was raised to

build the facility. Operating costs are about

$1.1 million annually and fundraising is

ongoing to raise that money.

One of the surprises that the staff has

seen in the fi rst year of operation at the

Ronald McDonald House is that families

who require the facility are coming from

all over Alberta.

“We do get a lot of families from Central

Alberta but it has surprised us with the

number of families we’ve had from outside

Central Alberta as well. It’s kind of an Al-

berta resource when we typically thought

it would be a Central Alberta resource,”

said Mathieson.

Mathieson said compared to the Ronald

McDonald House in Calgary, the Red Deer

facility has a little bit more of a quicker

turnover.

“The families are staying for a shorter

period of time in Red Deer which of course

is good news. A lot of the families we’re

seeing are in the special care nursery or

the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit)

and when those babies can go home it

means they are hitting good birth weights

and they’re eating on their own. The aver-

age in terms of days is probably just a few

days less in Red Deer. The average stay is

11 days or so.”

Mathieson said since the beginning

there has also been overwhelming support

from volunteers and supporters.

“Before we even built the House we had

people wanting to sign up as volunteers.

Central Alberta has been tremendously

supportive even for a couple of years be-

fore we opened when we started raising

they money.

“A charity like ours relies on some big

donations and certainly we’ve had those,

but the number of schools collecting pop

can tabs or collecting pennies, the small

business raising funds or the 4-H Clubs

donating to us – those groups have been

amazing and they’ve just continued.”

Looking ahead, Mathieson said they ex-

pect to serve even more families in their

second year than they did in their fi rst.

“One of the things is to continue to con-

tinuing the programs in the House like

the Home for Dinner program. It allows

the families to spend more time at bedside

with their children in the hospital as op-

posed to worrying about meals. We’re hop-

ing to max that program out this year.”

Julie and Justin Roth, who live in Con-

sort, stayed at the Ronald McDonald House

after their twin boys Carson and Connor

were born six weeks early. They are now

four months old.

“We delivered at the Royal Alex (Royal

Alexandra Hospital) and I was there for

about a week. The day I was discharged

they said they were going to transfer us

to Red Deer without really any warning.

They said we could stay at the Ronald Mc-

Donald House,” said Julie.

Julie and Justin spent more than a month

at the Ronald McDonald House as their twin

boys continued to gain strength in the NICU

at the Red Deer Regional Hospital.

“Our experience was great. It was so

much better than a hotel and you didn’t

have to worry about the cost of a hotel. We

had our own room with comfortable beds

and there were home-cooked meals. The

staff there would ask how your day was ev-

eryday and they had craft night and other

activities if you needed a distraction from

all that was going on,” said Julie. “The

staff are very compassionate, friendly and

supportive.”

She added she is grateful for the Ronald

McDonald House and for the opportunity

to stay at the facility.

“I’m so glad we had our babies when we

did and there was a place for us and that it

wasn’t booked up yet. It’s a pretty amazing

place.”

BY KIRSTEN PALARDYRed Deer Express

Alberta Education Min-

ister Jeff Johnson was in

Red Deer Monday as a part

of his cross-province tour

to meet with school boards

and fi nd out what is impor-

tant in each community.

“(The school boards)

don’t have much time to

spend one-on-one to talk

about what’s important to

them and their community.

Over the last three months

I’ve travelled the province

to meet with every school

board and ask how we can

help them and what’s on

their minds,” said Johnson.

He said a common con-

cern for school boards is

the budget.

“When most of the provin-

cial budget is education and

health you can’t come out

with a tight budget and con-

strain costs without impact-

ing those two ministries.”

Johnson said local school

boards are experiencing

what some other commu-

nities have and that is the

challenges of growth.

“Some of those growth

pressures bring a lot of de-

mand. The school boards

want to make sure the prov-

ince, in these fi scal times

where we’re going to have to

show some constraint, is not

going to sacrifi ce the invest-

ment in infrastructure.”

He said what impressed

him about the Red Deer

school boards is the will-

ingness to develop partner-

ships not only with each

other but with others in the

community to create the

best programs and services

possible for the kids in the

community.

At present, Johnson has

given a proposal to the

Alberta School Board As-

sociation and the Alberta

Teachers’ Association but

he was unwilling to com-

ment on the specifi cs.

“I won’t comment on the

terms of that proposal out

of respect for those two

groups to give them time to

digest it and talk with their

members about it.”

He added he hopes to

see a long-term province-

wide deal to help ease the

concern of fi scal restraint

impacting the quality of

service within Alberta’s

school systems.

Johnson expects a deci-

sion to made in regards to

his proposal by the end of

week.

STOP HAIR LOSS

Helps to activate naturally millions of stem cells from our own bonemarrow. The increase in stem cells released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream have the potential to become other types of tissue cells with specializedfunction. Stem cells will multiply and are able to become heart cells, liver cells orany other organ. Located everywhere in our body, stem cells are even under our skinlayered between the epidermis and dermis. This is why an increase in stem cellsunder our skin may help to create a more youthful cell that would replenish elastinand collagen and thus may make us look younger. If our bone marrow does notproduce enough stem cells this can result in many illnesses, especially a weak heart,kidneys, liver, pancreas, in fact all healthy functions of our body are decreased.Sufficient stem cells in our body have a great potential of self-repair and the abilityto rejuvenate tissues. It does not contain live human stem cells as these can onlybe transplanted by surgery and are subject to immuno-suppressant drugs to avoidgraft rejection. Naturopathic Doctor summarized his experience in writingafter using this Stem Cell Activator: Used for all organ and tissue damage, heartattack damage, osteo-arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic brain injury, muscular

New speaker series launchesBY ERIN FAWCETTRed Deer Express

A new speaker series at the Donald

School of Business is set to launch next

week and offi cials are excited about the

fi rst keynote speaker.

Jim Harris, author of Blindsided, and a

leading Canadian futurist, is set to talk to

students and the City’s business commu-

nity March 5th.

Harris, who hails from Toronto, will

speak to students during the day, and the

public is encouraged to listen to his presen-

tation in the evening at City Centre Stage

(4922 49 St.). Networking and refreshments

will take place at 4:30 p.m. followed by Har-

ris’ presentation of ‘Leadership & Change,

Innovation & Creativity’ at 5:30 p.m.

Harris teaches business people how to

identify early warning signs and to put in

place systems to prevent their organiza-

tion from being blindsided by their com-

petition. He works with leading businesses

and Fortune 500 companies, and writes

regularly for a number of publications,

including the Globe and Mail and Profi t

magazine.

“The talk is really going to be based on

the book. How companies can avoid being

blindsided because we are seeing it happen

all the time.” He added an example of that

would be when Netfl ix came out Block-

buster eventually closed its doors because

it couldn’t compete.

In addition, he will also give advice to

business students who are set to enter the

workforce in the near future. He added

they are facing a number of obstacles as

they graduate.

“The students face a big challenge in the

sense that in general across Canada gradu-

ating students are fi nding it challenging to

not just fi nd a job in their area but to fi nd

a job. And so the advice I give is to focus

on what I call the funnel theory,” he said.

“When I came back to Canada after travel-

ing for four years after fi nishing university

I wanted to have a job. I got a job but it was

in telemarketing. I had this terrible job for

six weeks. During those six weeks it gave

me cash to tread water. During those six

weeks I applied to 300 different jobs. From

those 300 applications I got 12 interviews.

That is a 96 per cent failure rate. I only got

four interviews per 100 applications.

“Firstly I think for job seekers they can’t

take things personally. And secondly is to

put a lot into the funnel to get stuff out that

is going to be of value to you.”

Meanwhile, the event marks what will be

a bi-annual series that will bring leading

business thinkers into downtown Red Deer

to the City Centre Stage that RDC recently

acquired. “This is a great opportunity for

businesses in our community to network

and it fi ts into our vision to connect learn-

ers and businesses in our region through

marquee events,” says Darcy Mykytyshyn,

dean of the Donald School of Business.

Tickets to the event are $50, which in-

cludes the presentation and refreshments.

They are available at Black Knight Ticket

Centre at www.bkticketcentre.ca or by

calling 403-755-6626.

After a Notice of Motion

regarding a plebiscite on a

ward system in Red Deer

failed at City council, local

resident Garfi eld Marks

has taken it upon himself

to see that Red Deerians

are given a voice in the

matter.

“I’ve heard from a lot

of people that they want a

plebiscite to decide on this

matter, and after it was de-

feated in council they said

a petition with 10,000 signa-

tures was the only way to

go,” said Marks.

He said the idea started

because he saw a lack of

communication between

council and the public. He

wrote the letter last fall and

“Started hearing from 300

plus people that they were

dissatisfi ed.”

One of the big issues

people mentioned was the

bike lane project. Many

people speaking to Marks

said they felt if Red Deer

had a ward system that

they would have someone

directly accountable in

their community or ward,

he said.

“Right now as it is you

have nine people to contact

and hope one gets back to

you.”

City Councillor Buck Bu-

chanan was one of the three

councillors who brought

forward the original No-

tice of Motion wanting to

proceed with a plebiscite.

Councillors Chris Stephan

and Frank Wong were also

involved in the Notice of

Motion.

“If you have a councillor

from a ward it’s like having

your own personal voice in

the community,” said Bu-

chanan.

He also said that he

doesn’t feel like the current

system is bad or that either

system is better than the

other.

“The whole nuts and

bolts of it was that I wasn’t

adverse to asking the peo-

ple what they thought they

wanted through a plebi-

scite,” said Buchanan.

Marks suspects that

some council members

don’t feel they would have

a strong enough platform

to win in their ward and

that may be why they are

against the idea of chang-

ing systems.

The petition, in order to

meet all legal standards,

can only be available to

sign for 60 days and Marks

said he feels it’s important

to do things properly so

that council sees how seri-

ous the community mem-

bers are about wanting a

plebiscite.

“A lot of people have said

council doesn’t communi-

cate well with the public

and that they appear to ex-

ist inside a bubble. Right

now we have about 400 peo-

ple in favour of the ward

system and willing to sign,”

said Marks.

Buchanan added the

benefi ts of a ward system

are that councillors would

each have their own area to

look after. He did, however,

say that he is not necessar-

ily in favour specifi cally

of a ward system over the

present system.

“I’m just not against ask-

ing the people. I am all for

giving the public that voice

and making sure they have

the best representation

they can have. I don’t think

anybody sitting at council

is any different,” said Bu-

chanan.

If the plebiscite were

done outside of the elec-

tion ballot it would cost the

City between $150,000 and

$200,000. Buchanan said

he would rather see it hap-

pen on the election ballot,

which would only cost the

City about $5,000.

Marks said the peti-

tion will begin circulating

April 1 and will close May

30.

“We are going to get as

many volunteers as pos-

sible and signs and hold the

petition in public areas. It

should all work out if we

just keep plugging away at

it.”

To contact Marks about

his petition email gmarks@

Every year more than 14.3 million offi ce visits for back pain are

reported. It’s the second-most frequent reason that people visit their doctor. The results of these visits are predictable. The options are rest, hot and cold packs, pain medication, and physical therapy. Chronic sufferers looking for relief soon hear that only two paths exist – either live with the pain, or undergo surgery.

The Red Deer Rotary Club

recently achieved a mile-

stone in their club when

they celebrated their 90th

anniversary on Monday.

When the club was

founded in Red Deer in

1923, it was the smallest

city in Canada to have a

Rotary Club. According

to Ken Johnston, current

president of Rotary Club

of Red Deer Downtown, Ro-

tary in Red Deer has been

special from the beginning.

Now with 105 full-fl edged

members and about 15

honourary members, this

Rotary Club is the biggest

service club in the City.

This allows for a fair bit of

activity in the community.

“Being a large club has

its advantages. There are

a lot of backgrounds, a

tremendous cross-section

of the community here --

politicians, bankers, real

estate agents, lawyers, self-

employed people, teachers,

principals, even the mayor.

It is a broad representation

of the community.”

Rotary clubs are an in-

ternational organization

that focuses on ‘service

above self’ and is com-

mitted to enhancing local

communities as well as the

global community.

The Red Deer Rotary

Club has been a pinnacle

contributor to the local

community through the

various organizations they

support. In 2012 the Club

supported a selection of

local organizations mak-

ing six cheque presenta-

tions to the Central Alberta

Women’s Emergency Shel-

ter, Red Deer Food Bank

Society, Safe Harbour So-

ciety, Red Deer Christmas

Bureau Society, Central

Alberta Women’s Outreach

Society and Youth and Vol-

unteer Centre of Red Deer.

Throughout the years

there have been many ma-

jor projects that are attrib-

uted to the dedication of

Rotary Club of Red Deer.

Each year, Rotary helps

22-25 students with their

secondary schooling by

providing scholarships off

of the 50/50 program.

“Another accomplish-

ment would be the inbound

and outbound foreign ex-

change students. Our stu-

dent from this year is from

Finland and we have young

man in Japan. We have

been doing this for 25 plus

years that has created a lot

of international goodwill.

This has been a tremen-

dous accomplishment.”

In order to have achieved

such great success in the

past nine decades, Rotary

recognizes the importance

of all the community mem-

bers that support them.

“We have had fantastic

participation by the com-

munity and support by

the community in all our

fundraisers. You couldn’t

do that in a city that isn’t

as generous as Red Deer,”

said Johnston. “I think

the community values our

logo, our reputation and

our standing. If we put on

a fundraiser such as the

hockey games, people un-

derstand that this dollar

they are giving is going to

do something in the com-

munity. I think more than

anything that is why we

have enjoyed the success

that we have in Red Deer.”

With the arrival of the

90th anniversary the club

continues to look to the

future with their centen-

nial in 2023. “I can see the

boards over the next few

years saying in 2023 to

mark the anniversary with

some community legacy

that still has to be estab-

lished.” [email protected]

Canadians can be excused for

being confused about the amount

of crime in their society. Last

year produced horrifi c scenes of

people being murdered and their

bodies dismembered, several exe-

cutions in public places in Toron-

to, and the media reporting that

shootings and stabbings in differ-

ent cities are on the increase.

These headlines contradicted

all of the articles that ‘crime is

falling’ published after the re-

lease of Statistics Canada’s re-

cent annual Juristat survey of

crime. What is a person to think?

Some of the answers are to be

found in the Macdonald-Laurier

Institute’s just-released review of

the Juristat reports. Many people

think that measuring crime is a

straightforward exercise, but it

is not.

The fi rst question is simply,

how do you count crime? Besides

its survey of police-reported

crime, Statistics Canada also

conducts a survey of whether Ca-

nadians were a victim of crime.

These results for 2009 show a huge

discrepancy with the amount of

crime reported to police. In 2009,

7.4 million Canadians reported

they were the victim of at least

one of the eight specifi c crimes

covered by the survey, compared

with the police count of only two

million total crimes.

This discrepancy mostly re-

fl ects that people say they report

only 31% of crimes to the police.

The public is reluctant to report

crime to the police, partly out of

fear of retribution from crimi-

nals and partly out of frustration

with falling rates of crime being

solved by the police. For example,

over the past four decades, the

solve rate for murders has fallen

from 95% to 75%, and is less than

50% for gang-related killings.

This growing reluctance to re-

port crime to police leads to er-

roneous headlines that ‘crime is

down’. The real headline should

read “Canadians’ reporting of

crime hits an all-time low”.

There are other questions

about how to count crime. Is a

crime spree one crime or several?

Statistics Canada selects only

the most severe crime, but police

services across the country in-

creasingly are adopting the ‘all

violations’ method of counting.

It is also important to note that

Statistics Canada excludes the

113,100 drug crimes committed in

2011 from its overall crime count,

which reduces the crime total.

There is also the question of

whether to measure crime in

absolute terms, or as a rate rela-

tive to the population. Crime

rates could fall just because the

population is growing faster than

crime itself, which could still be

rising in absolute terms. The lat-

ter is what the public experiences

and perceives as the true volume

of crime.

The next question is what is

the severity of crime? Statistics

Canada has concocted a subjec-

tive Crime Severity Index that

weights crime by the sentence

handed down by the judge. The

problem with this measure is

that more lenient sentences by

judges could falsely lead to a drop

in this measure of severity. This

is not a hypothetical scenario.

Parliament itself is increasingly

legislating mandatory minimum

sentences for some crimes. Ad-

ditionally, if the sentence handed

down is reduced by awarding

credit for pre-trial custody, then

the reported severity of the sen-

tence may be reduced as well.

Finally, society must ask who

commits the crime? It is known

in the justice system that a small

number of repeat offenders com-

mit much of the crime in this

country, yet Statistics Canada

fails to present statistics on this

phenomenon. Collecting data on

how many crimes were commit-

ted by persons with extensive

criminal records or who were on

bail or parole, or who were al-

ready subject to deportation for

past crimes, would be a power-

ful accountability measurement

for the justice system and could

inform policy reforms to reduce

crime. Recent Juristat reports ig-

nore the long-term trend in crime,

and focus more on the change

from the previous year. The long-

term trends are alarming. For ex-

ample, the rate of violent crime

in Canada has soared from 221 to

1,231 per 100,000 people over the

past 40 years. It is this upward

trend that is most relevant to Ca-

nadians, not whether crime is up

or down a few percentage points

from the previous year.

Understanding crime is itself

a tool to enhance public safety.

That is why Statistics Canada,

in association with the Canadian

Association of Police Chiefs and

other interested bodies, should

review and improve its collection

and reporting of crime statistics.

Building awareness

Are crime rates in Canada really falling?

Nobody likes to think about being

checked for cancer, it can be a scary thing,

but organizers behind Colon Cancer

Awareness Month are hoping fears will be

set aside as it’s all about saving lives and of

course continuing to build awareness.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness

Month across Canada, and one of the

goals is also to encourage folks to undergo

screening. We all know the sooner it’s de-

tected; the greater chances are it can be

cured.

There’s no question it’s a frightening

thing to think about, not to mention the

procedures one may have to undergo to

settle the issue. Colonoscopies aren’t any-

one’s idea of a pleasant experience, but

they are certainly necessary and for the

moments of discomfort it is ultimately

worth it.

The statistics demand attention. Colon

cancer is the second leading cause of both

male and female cancer-related deaths in

Canada. In 2012, about 23,3000 Canadians

were diagnosed with colon cancer. Almost

half of those diagnosed died. On aver-

age, 64 Canadians will be diagnosed with

colorectal cancer every day. And on aver-

age, 25 Canadians will die of it daily.

One in 13 men is expected to develop

colorectal cancer during his lifetime and

one in 28 will die of it. One in 16 women are

expected to develop it during her lifetime

and one in 32 will die of it.

According to the Canadian Cancer Soci-

ety, there is no single cause of colorectal

cancer, but some factors appear to increase

the risk of developing it. These include be-

ing 50 or older, having polyps, a family his-

tory of colorectal cancer - especially if the

relative developed colorectal cancer before

the age of 45. But there is some good news

amidst the grim statistics -- according to

Colon Cancer Canada, colon cancer is one

of the most preventable forms of cancer.

And if caught early, over 90% of these cas-

es could result in a full recovery.

This statistic really emphasizes the im-

portance of being screened. There is hope

if it’s caught early, and that cannot be

stressed enough. That means undergoing

screening, which of course means hav-

ing an open discussion with one’s doctor

about what steps to take in that direction.

Screening options depend on different fac-

tors, including age of the patient and how

at risk they happen to be.

Whether you are average risk or con-

sidered high-risk, the place to start is to

be open about talking about it. Too many

people avoid the topic altogether, and it’s

sometimes too late when they are forced to

face facts. The time to open the discussion

is now.

WE WANT READER INPUT

Local reader responds to letter regarding City’s downtown coreI believe it’s been about 20 years since I last had the urge to respond to a ‘Letter to

the Editor’ but Jerry Anderson’s submission on Feb. 20 containing a litany of negative

charges towards City council struck me as both heartfelt yet wildly misinformed.

I have worked in downtown Red Deer since 1984, most of that time operating the now

transformed Uptown Cinema Centre. I have served on the Downtown Business Associa-

tion twice over the years, currently working on my sixth and fi nal year. I have also at-

tended many council meetings over the years.

I have an immense amount of respect for any independent businessman who has the

initiative to hang up a shingle like Jerry has. His viewpoint of the City’s spending is en-

tirely within his right to express and I would be the last to speak in defense of council.

What struck me as mean-spirited and misinformed were his attacks on one current

and one former councillor. He infers that the City council rep currently sitting on the

DBA Board somehow submitted an ‘improper budget’ to City Hall. I know nothing about

an ‘improper budget’ and in any case that rep is only one of 10 people that contribute

input to a budget which is overseen by both the City and an independent auditor.

He also slams the rep for supporting the Ross Street Patio. I will be the fi rst to admit

that when it started last summer, I too wondered about the six or eight parking spaces

being lost. As the summer progressed I noticed the tables and chairs all being used every

lunch hour, weather permitting. I believe it adds a reason for people to shop and work

downtown enjoying the few short months we have of outdoor diversion. Jerry would pre-

fer everyone stay inside? Just get your business done and get out of the downtown? The

person you refer to is probably the hardest working and most committed City rep I have

ever experienced on the DBA Board, which includes a former mayor.

He then goes on to slam another former councillor who he claims somehow must have

received special treatment because they now have a parking space in front of their down-

town store. They had one before! I strongly suggest Jerry attend a City council meeting

or two and see for himself how ludicrous it is to suggest they somehow collude in secret

to benefi t any one person. It is engineering and a host of other City departments that put

forth a plan such as the past downtown improvements. Council only votes on the total

expenditures. They do not decide who gets a parking spot.

In truth councillors rarely agree on anything unanimously and if he attended some

public meetings he would see they operate as distinct individuals with different ideas

and agendas. Not all perfect, not all correct but highly driven by their own ideologies and

opinions.

As for leaving downtown, only you can make that informed decision. I would only say

that I was here in the 80’s when The Bay, Eatons and Kresges all left and I operated one

of the only reasons people had to come downtown in the evenings. There were no big

complaints about parking because there were few reasons to come downtown. Compared

to those times we are in a very good state overall in the City centre with great occupancy

and yes, high traffi c sometimes. Complaining about City Hall is a great idea and I whole-

heartedly endorse it. I just think you should not attack personalities without having your

facts correct.

Award for bike lanes may prompt

more lanes, citizen suggestsRed Deer has recently received an award

from the Federation of Canadian Munici-

palities (FCM) for the bike lane pilot proj-

ect. It is important to note that one of Red

Deer City councils most vocal supporter of

the bike lanes, was a member of the FCM

board from 2011 to 2012. The award was

given by a group of people who don’t have

to drive in Red Deer and apparently have

never visited our City in the winter.

What worries me is this award will serve

as a green light for council to continue to

spend our tax dollars on pet projects like

this that the majority of citizens believe

we don’t want or need. City council moved

forward on this program with approxi-

mately 250 online responses from the citi-

zens of Red Deer, most of which were from

the local bike club. After council voted to

take away driving lanes and spend $800,000

on bike lanes (which have proven largely

unused, especially during the six to seven

months of winter), I set up an online peti-

tion asking them, in essence, to rethink the

program. In 10 days the petition received

approximately 3,000 names and comments,

and this with mostly word of mouth pro-

motion.

Most residents of our City are not aware

that our City will be $258 million in long-

term debt at the end of this year and plan

to spend over $1.3 billion in the next 10

years. Also important to note, there is no

rainy day/contingency fund left and taxes

get raised above infl ation and population

growth every year.

The other thing that worries me is coun-

cil voted down a motion to let the citizens

of Red Deer vote on how we want to be gov-

erned during the next election. Holding a

plebiscite on a major issue during an elec-

tion is an inexpensive method of getting

feedback from the citizens, and yet council

is afraid of letting the people decide.

The good thing that comes out of the

whole bike lane issue is that citizens are

now aware of how City council has spent

and wasted our tax dollars over the last

number of years. They are now realizing

it is time for a more fi scally responsible

council. I hope the citizens are still con-

cerned enough in October to do some re-

search and fi nd this type of new candidate,

get out and vote, and bring common sense

back to the governing of our City.

CitySpeakThis week, Express reporter Erin Fawcett has asked

Councillor Buck Buchanan questions regarding the Child and Youth Friendly organization.

What is Child and Youth Friendly in Red Deer?

“Child and Youth friendly in Red Deer is a group of local professionals and citi-

zens at large with support from the early childhood development mapping,” said

Buchanan. “This initiative was mobilized to create an early childhood coalition to

address gaps and issues affecting the outcomes for children in our community.”

What do we know?

“We know that there is strong evidence from many years of research that the

years from zero to six years are the most signifi cant time in an individual’s life.

These years set the stage for literacy, health, high school completion, employment

and behaviour and quality of life,” said Buchanan. “Alberta Education has launched

the Early Childhood Development (ECD) mapping initiative. This is a fi ve years re-

search tool that looks at factors that infl uence healthy childhood development. The

Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a questionnaire completed by Kindergarten

teachers on children’s development. The EDI measures children’s readiness to learn

in fi ve general domains. They are physical health and wellbeing, social competence,

emotional maturity, language and thinking skills and communications and general

knowledge.”

He added the majority of children in Red Deer are doing appropriately however

a large percentage are experiencing diffi culty or great diffi culty in the area of com-

munications skills and general knowledge.

“Communities shape the early environment that young children grow up in and

that infl uences their development. Vibrant communities with accessible high-qual-

ity resources can help create the safe, enriching environments that these young

children need to fl ourish and grow,” said Buchanan. “Resources can range from

services/programs to facilities to physical features or organizations and informal

supports.”

What do we as a community need to do?

“Communities have an important role to play in this process. We need to provide

safe walkable neighbourhoods, we have to have recreational facilities and sports

programs and we need parks and green spaces which are meeting places for young

families,” said Buchanan. “We have to have affordable high quality child care and

preschool centres, kids should have access to enrichment programs for infants and

preschoolers such as music, library or play programs and families need access to

affordable healthful food.

“Families and parents need training and information on parenting skills, nutri-

tion and children’s health, we need caring adults throughout the community who

value and contribute to positive early development, we need literacy programs and

an inclusive, caring community spirit.”

He added he believes that as a community the City is doing very well however

there is always room for improvement. Those looking for more information on Child

and Youth Friendly Red Deer can contact Shelley Dallas-Smith at Shelley.dallas-

[email protected] or Judy Scott at fsca.ca.

RDC LAUNCHING NEW PROGRAM

Red Deer College is launching a new program

this fall that will prepare graduates to work in the health care industry. The Occupational Therapist & Physiotherapist Assistant program is a response to the need for health care profes-sionals in the province.

“This is a well-rounded program that will provide in-demand skills in central Al-berta and beyond,” said Brad Donaldson, vice president academic at RDC. “Gradu-ates will provide assistance

to occupational therapists, physiotherapists and clients in a variety of health care settings, like hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools – the possibilities are enor-mous.”

The program is designed to equip learners to help get people back to functional, meaningful everyday activi-ties via therapeutic means and assist patients with movement. The program will enable graduates to work with people of all ages who have experienced illness af-fecting physical or mental health, an injury, or a disabil-ity starting early in life.

“One of the exciting things about the program is how hands-on it will be,” said Sharon Hamilton, chair of Ki-nesiology & Sports Studies at RDC.

“Our learners will have the opportunity for unique practicum placements and will be immersed in courses that cover multiple health disciplines.”

Upon successful comple-tion of the diploma program, students will be able to be-come occupational thera-pist and physiotherapist as-sistants. The program will be delivered in two years of study, over fi ve academic terms.

Seats in the program are limited and funding is avail-able for prospective stu-dents.

For more information about the program visit rdc.ab.ca/programs or call 403-342-3400.

Taylor Drive, Red Deer

February 2013 marks a

milestone in international

history. It was 150 years

ago, on Feb. 17, 1863, that

Henri Dunant, a Swiss

businessman, helped to

found a volunteer commis-

sion that evolved into the

International Committee

of the Red Cross.

The origins of the Red

Cross go back a bit more

than 150 years. On June 24,

1859, Dunant was in Solfer-

ino in Northern Italy, after

a bloody battle. Dunant was

appalled by the suffering of

wounded left on the battle-

fi eld, with little in the way

of medical relief for them.

Dunant wrote a book on his

experiences. He pushed for

independent organizations

that would help the victims

of war. He also advocated

that a binding internation-

al agreement be adopted

that would obligate armies

to assist the wounded and

sick, regardless of which

side they had been on.

Hence, a committee was

formed in February 1863

in Dunant’s home city of

Geneva, Switzerland to ad-

vance these ideas. In Octo-

ber 1863, an international

convention was held to for-

malize the creation of na-

tional societies. In August

1864, an international con-

ference was convened to

create the legal framework

for humanitarian care in

times of war. This is now

known as the Geneva Con-

vention. It was essential in

the turmoil of war that a

simple, but visible symbol

be used so that those as-

sisting the injured and sick

could be identifi ed. Hence,

a red cross on a white

background was adopted

as the distinctive emblem.

The organization and its

national affi liates took the

name ‘Red Cross’. In 1896,

Dr. George Sterling Ryer-

son founded the fi rst over-

seas branch of the British

Red Cross in Canada. In

May 1909, the federal gov-

ernment incorporated the

Canadian Red Cross as the

offi cial organization “To

provide volunteer aid in

Canada in accordance with

the Geneva Convention”.

A branch of the Red

Cross was established in

Red Deer on Sept. 3, 1914, a

month after the First World

War broke out. One of the

fi rst matters of discussion

was whether the local Red

Cross should assist ‘the

poor of the town’ as well

as the men who had vol-

unteered for active service

and their families.

Since the local Salvation

Army and the Women’s

Institutes were supporting

those in distress, the Red

Cross decided to concen-

trate on help to those con-

nected with the military.

Membership fees were set

at 25 cents, but members

were encouraged to donate

more if they were able to

do so. In less than a week,

more than $100 was raised.

On Nov. 13, 1914, the Red

Deer branch of the Red

Cross was given its charter.

Several other branches

were organized in almost

every rural community in

the district. Support for

the Red Cross came from

such organizations as the

local Women’s Institutes,

I.O.D.E. and local church

groups. Bandages and med-

icines were collected for the

overseas military hospitals

as well as for the Red Deer

Memorial Hospital and the

Soldiers’ Sanatorium on

the east hill. The most im-

portant activity, however,

was the assemblage of care

packages for those over-

seas. For a few years fol-

lowing the end of the First

World War, the Red Cross

continued its work of sup-

porting the Red Deer Hos-

pital and assisting those in

need. However, gradually

the Red Deer and other lo-

cal Red Cross branches fell

dormant. They were quick-

ly revived in October 1939,

shortly after the outbreak

of the Second World War.

Again, the Red Cross pro-

vided support for those on

active service and particu-

larly for those who were in-

terned in Prisoner-of-War

camps. Unlike the situation

in the 1920’s, the Red Cross

remained active locally af-

ter the Second World War

ended. Currently, the local

Red Cross provides disaster

support and services and

numerous other vital ser-

vices for those in need.

POLICE BRIEFS by Erin Fawcett

RCMP INVESTIGATES THEFT OF VEHICLES

Five youth have been arrested after a rash of ve-hicles were reported stolen.

On Feb. 23rd between 6 a.m and 10 a.m. Red Deer RCMP responded to seven complaints of stolen vehicles. During this time additional calls for service were re-ceived for erratic driving and gas and dash complaints, all believed to be associated to the stolen vehicles. On four occasions, while the police were patrolling the City for the stolen vehicles, RCMP located the vehicles but the suspects fl ed from police and once hitting a police vehicle.

Eventually, one of the ve-hicles, while trying to evade the police, lost control and hit a snow bank and a female young offender was arrest-

ed. A subsequent investiga-tion resulted in the arrests of three young offenders and a warrant was issued for a fourth. No injuries were sustained over the course of these events.

The vehicles stolen were targets of opportunity. They were either left unlocked and running or unlocked with the keys left in the ignition.

One of the males arrest-ed, who cannot be named un-der provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is fac-ing charges of three counts of possession of stolen prop-erty over $5,000, two counts of theft over $5,000, seven counts of breach of under-taking/recognizance and one count of failing to comply.

Charges are pending against the other three young offenders involved in

these vehicle thefts. Since Jan. 1st there have

been 104 reported stolen ve-hicles in the City. Police are advising the public not to leave vehicles running with the keys in the ignition. If any citizen witnesses a theft of a motor vehicle, police are instructing them to report it immediately to the RCMP with a direction of travel noted. Police are advising to never take ‘chase’ after these suspects.

Investigators ask that anyone with information re-garding this crime contact the RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com. If the infor-mation leads to an arrest, tipsters are eligible for a

cash reward of up to $2,000.

POLICE ARREST SUSPECTS IN BANFF ARMED ROBBERY

Red Deer City RCMP have arrested two suspects who are believed to be involved in an armed robbery in Banff.

On Feb. 23nd at 1 a.m Red Deer RCMP received an up-date from Banff RCMP advis-ing they believed two males suspected in an armed rob-bery with a fi rearm, which occurred on Feb. 22nd at 9 p.m. were currently in Red Deer. Through investigation Red Deer RCMP were able to locate an address where the suspects allegedly were. Po-lice attended to that address and arrested Cody De Coteau of Camrose. Further inves-tigation revealed another male was in the residence, however, he would not come out of the residence willingly.

A police dog was utilized and the second suspect, Maxime Banville, was located hiding in a closet and apprehended.

Both men are charged with several offences includ-ing robbery with a fi rearm.

MAN IS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF STOLEN FIREARMS

Police have arrested and charged a Central Alberta man after conducting a traf-fi c stop in Red Deer recently.

On Feb. 18th at 10:15 a.m. Red Deer City RCMP con-ducted a roadside traffi c stop near Gaetz Ave. on 22nd St. The license plate on the vehicle did not match.

Upon approaching the vehicle, police observed numerous fi rearms in the backseat. The fi rearms were improperly stored for trans-portation and determined to be stolen. The male driver

was arrested. Upon seizure of the vehicle, police also located two hunting knives that were in proximity of the driver’s seat, over 28g of marijuana as well as stolen personal identifi cation cards.

Police have charged Ste-phen Richmond, 27, of Pono-ka with 29 counts of weapon and fi rearm related offences, three counts of possession of stolen property, one count of possession of a controlled drug and substance as well as additional charges under the Traffi c Safety Act.

Red Deerians who are

looking to attend the Red

Deer Speed and Custom

Show at the Westerner are

in for another great year,

offi cials say.

The show runs March 15-

17 in the Prairie and Park-

land Pavilions at the West-

erner.

“We have Ian Roussel

coming up this year. He

is a car builder out of Los

Angeles and a hot rodder

too. He is pretty famous for

some of his work in the cre-

ation of many hot rods and

has starred on a number

of television programs,”

said Todd Schwindt, owner

of E.G. Auctions, formally

known as the Electric Ga-

rage.

Schwindt said Roussel’s

involvement will be to meet

and greet people as they at-

tend and to talk about some

of his car builds. It is cur-

rently in the works that

Roussel may have a car to

work on restoring during

the three-day show.

“He’s just a really great

guy to have here because

there are so many enthu-

siasts in the area and he

is a pretty big name in the

industry.”

The plans for the three-

day show are different ev-

ery year and Schwindt said

that is part of the excite-

ment.

“There is another outfi t

called Piece of the Past and

they will be here this year

too. They are the number

one authorized memorabil-

ia outfi t in North America.”

He said Piece of the Past

will have signed celebrity

prints, electric guitars and

other product for sale at the

show. The product is being

sold on all three days.

Brett Wagner will also be

in attendance at the event

and Schwindt said a neat

piece of information for the

public is that Wagner has

starred on the hit television

show Sons of Anarchy.

In addition, Schwindt

said they are always look-

ing for new exhibitors.

“It’s just a great atmo-

sphere and venue for com-

panies and businesses in

the vehicle industry.”

He said many people are

not aware that the show is a

three-in-one type of week-

end.

“A lot of people don’t re-

alize that it is a car show

with $6,000 in cash prizes to

be given away.”

Some of the categories

include ‘Best in Show’,

which is voted on by the

public, ‘Best Hot Rod’ and

‘Best Competition Vehicle’.

“We have exhibitors from

all across Alberta and it is a

three-day collector car auc-

tion with over 125 cars up

for auction alongside the

no reserve memorabilia

sale. There is just some-

thing here for everyone.”

Schwindt said whether

people want to come down

and purchase memorabilia

or exhibitor product there

is something to be had.

“Even the auction is awe-

some. It’s just great enter-

tainment and an incredible

show.”

The show runs March

15 from 5- 9 p.m., March

16 from 9 a.m.- 9 p.m., and

March 17 from 10 a.m.- 5

p.m.

Tickets are $10 for the

day, or $15 for a weekend

pass. Children 12 and un-

der are free and paid park-

ing will be in effect for the

Westerner grounds that

weekend.

“This is the only show

like it and it’s the largest

collector car auction in

Western Canada, but it’s

right here in our hometown

of Red Deer so why not at-

tend.”

Car show and auction in City next month

“IT’S JUST A GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND

VENUE FOR COMPANIES AND BUSINESSES IN THE

VEHICLE INDUSTRY.”

Red Deer College re-

ceived a large art donation

at a reception held on cam-

pus Tuesday evening.

Central Alberta artists

Les Graff and his wife Jac-

queline Stehelin donated

more than 100 pieces of art

to the College. The artwork

has an appraised value of

$286,000.

Graff, the former direc-

tor of Alberta Culture, also

gave a lecture to attendants

on surviving as an artist.

“My message to the stu-

dents was to be positive

when they leave this insti-

tution and also give them

advice on what they can

do to help themselves,” he

said.

“I’m very much aware

of how students begin. I’m

very much aware of the

problems after they leave

town. They step out of their

fourth year and they say

‘now what’?

“One of the other pieces

of advice to students is

that once they graduate,

they don’t need a whole

lot of space to work. They

can get by and you can do

things without a lot of re-

sources and facilities that

have been offered by the

institution. The resources

offered to students in the

institution are great while

they are learning, but after-

wards students won’t have

that.”

Graff also had a presen-

tation on Stehelin’s work,

which has spanned more

than three decades, that

showed her progress over

that time and how she

dealt with the challenge of

that.

Graff and Stehelin stud-

ied at the Alberta College

of Art and Design in Cal-

gary. They were married

shortly after.

“Then we went to Cran-

brook, Michigan and I

studied there for the year.

During that time Jacque-

line became a mother and

a homemaker,” said Graff,

adding the couple ended

up having four children

all together.

“The children grew up

and fi nally the last one

was in school. Jacqueline

decided to retrain herself

as an artist. She went to

the University of Alberta

because at this point we

were living in St. Albert.”

Graff, who is an abstract

artist, has been painting for

more than 50 years while

Stehelin, who is a fi gura-

tive artist, has been paint-

ing for 35 years.

“Over those years we

have accumulated a lot of

inventory. I am past 5,000

works of art. That’s a lot of

drawings and a lot of paint-

ings – big and small. Jac-

queline has done 1,500. We

have an awful lot on hand.”

As for the donation

to RDC, Graff added he

thought it could serve as an

example to students.

“The work chosen by

the College was basically

the work that would ap-

peal to the training of the

students. This is education

by example and that is re-

ally what the donation is all

about,” he said.

NEW


Another year has passed

for the Central Alberta Ar-

chers Association (CAAA)

and they are once again

looking forward to the

Mother of All Shoots.

The event runs in the

UFA Agricentre at the

Westerner March 1-3.

“The Central Alberta

Archers Association is a

club devoted to just that

-- archery. We’ve got our

lanes which are close to

40 yards where people can

come in and shoot whether

they just enjoy the sport or

happen to be hunters,” said

Mike Screen, CAAA secre-

tary treasurer.

Screen said the CAAA

sees kids getting involved

as young as nine and they

have competitors right up

to the age of 70 and beyond

in some cases.

“There are just some

things that people love about

shooting a bow and arrow

whether it’s a traditional re-

curve bow or the now popu-

lar compound bows.”

Screen said the lanes see

upwards of 5,000 kids a year

through a number of dif-

ferent programs including

school trips and kids clubs.

“It gives them a chance to

try it out and if for some rea-

son it catches on then they

join into the juniors pro-

grams in the fall or winter.”

Screen said there are

entire families that get in-

volved including one such

example of a peewee ar-

cher who will attend the

Mother of All Shoots with

not only his parents but

also his grandparents.

“They will all come out

and shoot and just enjoy

the weekend as a fam-

ily. The archery commu-

nity in Alberta is a pretty

tight-knit good group of

people.”

Screen said he recalls

an outdoor 3D shoot he at-

tended in a fi eld and people

were camping and he said

it was just an enjoyable

weekend with strangers

who have now become life-

long friends.

“There’s not only a com-

munity aspect to it with ev-

eryone competing but also

a personal aspect where ev-

eryone is trying to do their

own best to hit that bulls

eye.”

Screen said archery is

benefi cial for people of all

ages as it helps with per-

sonal development and sat-

isfaction.

“It’s the self confi dence

in knowing you can do

something well, just like

any other sport. There are

opportunities, too, to not

just be practicing but also

taking part in competi-

tions.”

While Screen said ar-

chery is really not a specta-

tor sport, he said last years

addition to the Mother of

All Shoots went over very

well.

Competitors in the

‘Shoot the Tube’ event have

one shot and one arrow, to

try and get through a hole

just 5/8” in diameter from

an unspecifi ed distance.

“Last year they were

shooting from 80 yards. Ev-

eryone was in the stands

for that one.”

Screen said that archery

is not just about profession-

als’ playing fi eld, but that

anyone can take part.

“We had some pro-shoot-

ers last year that weren’t

coming close and than an

older retired gentleman

with a beat up old hunt-

ing rig shot. You could not

have put the arrow more

centred in the hole if you’d

walked up and placed it by

hand.”

chers Association or the

TRAVEL

For anyone seeking a

truly authentic experience

in Alaska, an Alaska cruise

is a must. An Alaska cruise

allows you to connect with

Mother Nature like never

before as you experience

the breathtaking fjords,

majestic wildlife, and

beautiful scenery while

you sail along the waters

of this magnifi cent land.

With exciting ports of call

like Ketchikan, Juneau,

and Skagway you’ll be able

to discover the wondrous

beauty of this great land in

so many different ways. An

Alaska cruise is the ideal

way to explore this vast

region and can take you in

to the heart of America’s

last great frontier, even Ju-

neau, the capital city, isn’t

accessible by car.

In Juneau, you’ll fi nd the

history of the gold rush

still alive and well amidst

its breathtaking scenery.

You can spend your days

panning for gold, go whale

watching, zip line over

dense forest, or get up close

and personal with a black

bear. Combine your Alaska

cruise with a Cruise Tour

and enjoy the best of land

and sea. Take an excursion

into the heart of Denali, or

spend your days gazing up

the majestic Mendenhall

Glacier. A Cruise Tour will

allow you to completely im-

merse yourself in the wil-

derness while experiencing

the rugged terrain.

Take a deep breath of

fresh crisp air as you step

into Juneau on your Gla-

cier Northbound cruise.

The capital city of Alaska

boasts the honour of be-

ing one of the most sceni-

cally beautiful places in

America. Be sure to opti-

mize your time when your

Alaska Glacier North-

bound cruise heads into

Skagway and aside from

visiting the historic Klon-

dike Gold Rush sites, take

in the thundering water-

falls and the grandeur of

the mountain vistas. You

may also fi nd yourself in

the city that 20,000 years

ago was covered by vast

glaciers that retreated to

carve what today is known

as Kodiak. When in Ketchi-

kan you can take a fl oat-

plane to the Misty Fjords

where you can bask in the

sun while surrounded by

glacially carved valleys

and alpine lakes. Finally,

for a truly unforgettable

thrill take a zip line at the

core of wilderness above a

dense forest coupled with a

mountain backdrop.

A Glacier Northbound

cruise may also pass

through some of the most

iconic settings in Alaska,

including Glacier Bay,

Gulf of Alaska, Tracy

Arm and College Fjords.

These scenic passes will

leave you mesmerized at

Mother Nature’s parallels

of rugged beauty. Sail-

ing into Tracy Arm, the

amazing granite-turquoise

icebergs and crystallized

glaciers are guaranteed to

be an extraordinary expe-

rience you’ll never forget.

Not only is Glacier Bay a

sanctuary for signifi cant

marine life and terrestrial

wilderness, cruising into

Glacier Bay will allow you

to get mesmerizingly close

to truly stunning glaciers.

Glacier Bay has long in-

spired intellectuals, artists

and travelers alike, and

continues to be one of the

most picturesque places

in the world. It provides

striking views of glaciers,

alpine lakes hinged with

sandy rocks that lay with-

in the clear blue waters,

and is surrounded by deep

fjords that are made all the

more beautiful by the snow

laced mountains.

Alaska will entice your

inner explorer, and there’s

no better way to discover

the last Great Frontier than

on an Alaska Roundtrip

cruise. Whether you visit

Juneau, Skagway, Ketchi-

kan, Tracy Arm, Inside

Passage, Glacier Bay, Hub-

bard Glacier or Sitka you’ll

fi nd yourself inspired by

the truly breathtaking

beauty at every turn.

On your Alaska

Roundtrip cruise, you can

spend your days kayak-

ing through alpine lakes.

Plus, experience the na-

tive culture through totem

carving, the blanket toss,

traditional music, festivals

and historical museums.

Further, go gold panning

and follow the historic path

of the gold rush. Alaska is

home to an abundance of

wildlife, you’ll fi nd a num-

ber of chances to see polar

bears, bald eagles, hump-

back whales, wolves, griz-

zly bears, orcas, moose, and

numerous other rare and

endangered species. Alaska

defi nes nature in its purest

form, and offers a unique

haven for adventurers and

animals alike.

Alaska offers a thriv-

ing beer culture as the

number of award win-

ning authentic breweries

is constantly growing. So

why not grab a pint of a

local handcrafted brew?

Or pick up unique souve-

nirs like authentic Alaska

native moccasins, jewel-

lery, and native art. Also,

don’t forget to enjoy the

local fl avours, whether it’s

a Salmon bake or an Alas-

ka King Crab. Better yet,

charter a boat or take a

fl oat plane out to try your

hand at fi shing.

Whatever you are look-

ing for, you will be sure to

fi nd it on a Alaska cruise.

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Stephen

Fearing is back on the road to showcase

new tunes from his latest CD Between Hur-

ricanes.

Presented by the Central Music Festival

Society, Fearing performs March 7 at the

Elks Lodge. Showtime is 8 p.m.

Fearing, a multiple Juno award-winning

Blackie and the Rodeo Kings member, re-

turns with his fi rst solo disc in seven years.

Between Hurricanes is a follow-up to 2006’s

Yellowjacket and was co-produced by Fear-

ing and John Whynot in Toronto.

As he explains, the disc is both the docu-

ment and result of many changes in his life.

His last CD, Yellowjacket, came out in

2006 and shortly after its release, his mar-

riage of 14 years ended.

Then his record company changed

hands, so he decided to move on.

“Around the same time, my dear friend

and manager Bernie Finkelstein started

to make noises about cutting back on his

workload. Bernie and I had been together

through thick and thin for over 16 years,

but I realized that it was time to let go of

the old ties and step out into the brave new

world of true independence.”

A little while later, he also decided to make

a fresh start on Canada’s east coast. In 2008,

Fearing moved from Guelph, Ontario to

Halifax. All the while, he was busy, working

on both Blackie and The Rodeo Kings’ Kings

and Queens and his own album with Bel-

fast’s Andy White, Fearing & White.

He also got remarried, became a father,

and kept up a relentless touring schedule.

New songs had begun to emerge and plans

were fi nally made to return to the studio.

Between Hurricanes’ 11 tracks were

shaped with the idea of crafting a solo

record while not employing a traditional

‘folk music’ approach, he points out. The

minimal arrangements range from the

fi nely honed piano, bass, and drum accents

on As The Crow Flies to the ethereal synths

on Cold Dawn. As always, Fearing nails it

on tune after tune – capturing the sensibil-

ities that fans have grown to so appreciate.

Meanwhile, the name of the disc was

inspired by the sometimes severe weather

patterns on the east coast during the late

summer and autumn months.

“August and September are hurricane

season – they come regularly and can be fe-

rocious like Hurricane Juan which was so

devastating. And then when I was actually

in the studio recording this CD, Hurricane

Sandy came.”

While laying down tracks for the new

project, he recalls telling a friend about

juggling the record production with the

ongoing work of painting his house.

“I was joking with him about the disc’s

working title which was ‘50’ – which is the

age I just turned – and saying I was worried

I wouldn’t get the jobs done between the

hurricanes. He wrote back and said ‘There’s

your title – between the hurricanes’.

“In some ways, 50 and Between Hurri-

canes have a lot in common, and it seemed

to sum up the record in a lot of ways – a

man at the mid-point in his life. If I’m

lucky,” he laughs.

Born in 1963 in Vancouver, Fearing spent

most of his growing up years in Dublin. Af-

ter a short stint in the U.S. he returned to

Canada, and is now long-established as a

fi xture on the folk club and festival circuit

in North America and the U.K.

Music was an intrinsic part of the Fear-

ing household from the get-go.

His mom has been working on recording

her memoirs, and he’s been reading about

her life. Fearing said it’s amazing how a

love for music is so pervasive in his family,

and it stretches way back over the genera-

tions as well. “I hadn’t realized the extent

of the showbiz background in my family.”

Opera singers, vaudeville and classical

singers and music teachers pop up here

and there on the family tree. “It was always

something everyone took quite seriously

around the house,” he explains. “As a kid

I remember going with my mom to recit-

als where she was either onstage or in the

audience. I also clearly remember sitting

beside my father on the organ bench dur-

ing church services.

“So there has always been, from an early

age, a feeling of being ‘backstage’. And when

I started down this road, I felt like I was the

black sheep of the family, but I’m actually

quite deeply into the family tradition.”

Not surprisingly, his career – thanks

to his musical giftedness - unfolded natu-

rally. It was simply second nature. And as

a young adult, he became increasingly fa-

miliar with the singer/songwriter, coffee

house folk world.

“I just found myself doing it more and

more,” he says of honing his craft. “At some

point I realized this is what I do, and this is

probably what I should continue doing.”

It’s certainly been a fulfi lling path to

walk. “It never gets boring. It’s always in-

credibly exciting when you start to craft a

song,” he says. “And it’s really about the

work. There’s an ambition to constantly be

evolving as a writer and a musician.”

The Red Deer Symphony

Orchestra is offering up a

full and varied slate of fab-

ulous tunes via the ‘Muse-

um of Curiosities’ concert,

set for March 16 on the Arts

Centre mainstage. Perfor-

mance time is 8 p.m.

Highlights include Con-

certo for Harpsichord and

Eight Instruments by R.

Murray Schafer, Josef

Schelb’s Concerto for Bass

Clarinet and Chamber En-

semble and Mozart’s Sym-

phony No. 40 in G Minor.

Featured guests for the

performance include Neil

Cockburn on harpsichord,

Stan Climie on bass clari-

net, Matthew Peavoy on

piano and Bronwyn Kure

on violin.

International prize-win-

ning organist Cockburn

has been a central fi gure in

the development of a musi-

cal culture on the pipe or-

gan in Calgary and western

Canada since 2000 when he

became head of organ stud-

ies at Mount Royal Univer-

sity, according to concert

notes by RDSC Music Di-

rector Claude Lapalme.

Climie is regarded as one

of the foremost performers

of the modern bass clarinet

repertoire, notes Lapalme.

Peavoy has studied many

instruments over the years

including piano, classical

accordion, trombone, bari-

tone and French horn.

Rounding out the special

guests is Kure, who enjoys

performing with her family

and as a member of the Red

Deer Youth and Commu-

nity Orchestra.

As Lapalme points out,

variety in a concert is a

terrifi c way to capture and

maintain an audience’s at-

tention. “We have a vari-

ety of high quality gems to

present and it is our belief

that this eclecticism will

keep this concert an enter-

taining one.”

RDSO presents ‘Museum of Curiosities’

The Impossible has been

out for awhile but is still

showing at the Carnival

Cinemas. It is one of those

emotional roller-coasters

that grabs your heart about

family and never lets go.

It’s based on the true sto-

ry of a Spanish family on

vacation in Thailand when

it was hit by the December

26, 2004 tsunami that killed

thousands. The couple and

their three young sons ar-

rive on Christmas Eve and

are staying at a gorgeous,

exotic resort in paradise,

when the big waves hit.

The mother, played by

Naomi Watts in a coura-

geous, Oscar-nominated

performance, manages to

hang on to her oldest son,

despite major injuries. The

father, played by Ewan Mc-

Gregor, fi nds and then los-

es their two younger sons

and searches for his family.

The visuals are impres-

sive. The tidal wave seems

very real on the big screen

and the producers don’t

leave much to the imagina-

tion as the after effects and

carnage are graphically

displayed. But the ran-

dom acts of kindness from

strangers, how ordinary

people do extraordinary

things during a crisis, and

the heart-warming display

of family affections are

very powerful. It is very

moving emotionally and

the leads and the three

young English actors play-

ing the boys, are all excel-

lent. Rating: fi ve deer out

of fi ve.

LIFESTYLE

I am in Mexico right now

on a humanitarian trip

with our local Rotary Club.

We are fl ying home

tomorrow. Clubs from

around Central Alberta

(and one club in Illinois –

connected through a friend

in our Club) purchased and

shipped over 500 wheel-

chairs here to Huatulco on

the extreme southend of

Mexico.

For two weeks, we deliv-

ered chairs in Crucecita,

Pochutla, Candelaria Loxi-

cha, St. Felipe Lochiso, and

Oaxaca City.

During this time we have

seen some amazing stuff –

some heartwarming, some

tragic and everything in

between.

I have to say that one of

the reasons that I love to

do this work to regain per-

spective.

We have so much in our

beautiful Canada and it is

easy to forget what it can be

like elsewhere. We watched

people bring their moth-

ers, fathers and children

to the delivery site on plas-

tic lawn chairs, pieces of

wood, and wheelchairs that

had lost the rubber of the

wheels, riding only on the

plastic or steel rims.

One of my favourite mo-

ments involved a man miss-

ing a leg, with his ‘good

leg’ bandaged up and ooz-

ing from the knee. I bent

down, gave him a hug and

lifted him out of the old,

broken chair he was in (not

a wheelchair, just an old)

and set him into the brand

new deluxe wheelchair we

brought.

He was happy and thank-

ing us profusely and then

‘the moment’ occurred --

one of my Rotarian friends

Trevor grabbed his own

new Rotary hat (a serious

necessity for us bald guys

in the Mexican sun) and

handed it to the man while

saying “Here, looks like

you need to retire that hat

you’ve got there.” Well that

was it. Sure, a wheelchair,

but that new hat off your

head? The man started to

cry. Trevor had to walk

away. I sniffed and smiled

and wheeled the man over

for his photo to document

his registration number

and set him free with his

new chair.

We got to experience mo-

ments like this for hours on

end and it never gets old.

It’s worth the trip, worth

the fundraisers, the time

and all it takes to make this

happen.

Yes, there are plenty of

charities back home and

we support those too. I was

proud at Christmas to sup-

port the Christmas Bureau

- it was great to give the gift

of toys to make Christmas

fun. I also noted the kids

on the lists wanted iPods,

Game Boys and fancy toys.

That’s not a bad thing, it

was Christmas and getting

cool stuff is awesome.

Here in Mexico they want

food, basic supplies and a

wheelchair, so they have a

chance to go to school like

the other kids. It’s a dif-

ferent kind of warm, fuzzy

feeling.

I have been told I have

a crazy sense of optimism

and I am ‘always so posi-

tive’. (I will be the fi rst to

admit I’m not always), but

when I get to be here and

see things like this, my per-

spective changes, just like

it did 10 years ago on my

fi rst visit here to deliver

chairs.

I think we should com-

plain less, do more, and en-

joy our privileged life.

When people tell me it

is hard to follow a meal

plan fi lled with vegetables,

fruits, rice and clean pro-

teins, I picture the little girl

I saw a few days ago up in

the mountain town of Can-

delaria Loxicha. She was

selling handmade tortillas

at the side of the road. No

shoes, tattered and torn

clothes and a terrible, hack-

ing cough, with open sores

on her knees and bare feet.

We bought tortillas, gave

her some extra money and

wished her well.

I am willing to bet she

wouldn’t complain about a

meal plan. One of our Ro-

tarian friends brought his

11-year-old daughter with

him.

She stared at that little

girl in silence. I wonder

how that will change her

world when she gets home.

Listen, I am not trying to

make you feel bad or guilty,

I just hope that through

my experience and maybe

someday your own that we

all see how great we have it.

How our problems, though

real for us, are maybe not

so great.

So this week if you

would, train a little harder,

eat a little better and re-

member that we are the

lucky ones.

“Remember, you never get anything for

nothing.” That’s a caution I’ve repeated over

to patients. Why? Because some people be-

lieve it’s possible to get health benefi t with-

out risk. Today, millions are popping a vari-

ety of over-the-counter pain relievers while

ignoring red fl ag warnings that may result

in death.

Heart and stroke risk

The American Heart Association reports

that, with the exception of acetylsalicy-

late acid (Aspirin) and possibly naproxen

(Aleve), non-steroidal anti-infl ammatory

drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin

and Advil) increase the risk of heart attack

and stroke. This is true for those who have

already suffered heart attack or are at high

risk of cardiovascular disease.

Now, a report in the Journal ‘Circula-

tion’ has more disturbing news. Dr. Anne-

Marie Olsen, a researcher at the Copen-

hagen Hospital in Denmark, reports that

patients who have had a previous coronary

attack and now take pain killers have a

30% increased risk of dying after one year.

Gastrointestinal (GI) risk

It’s estimated that about 24,000 North

Americans taking NSAIDs die from GI

bleeding every year. NSAIDs block the en-

zyme COX-1 that protects the stomach’s

lining. The risk is greater for those using

NSAIDs for a prolonged time, those over

age 60, and those who take blood thinning

medication or steroids. Some studies re-

veal that as many as 5 to 10% of NSAIDs

users experience an episode of bleeding or

develop a stomach ulcer in any given year.

Blood pressure

Aspirin tends to lower blood pressure if

taken at night. NSAIDs have been linked to

increases in blood pressure, particularly

for those being treated for hypertension.

Kidney risk

NSAIDS, and to a lesser extent acet-

aminophen (Tylenol), can damage kidneys

if used over a long period of time. About

5% of patients who are on kidney dialysis

would not be attached to these life-saving

machines if they had not abused their kid-

neys by taking too many minor painkillers.

This is a huge price to pay for popping

pills that in many cases are not needed.

Liver risk

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a good pain

reliever and does not pose the same danger

to the cardiovascular system or gastroin-

testinal tract. But like any medication it

must be taken correctly. Since several oth-

er pain relievers contain acetaminophen,

people may consume more than they real-

ize. The best precaution is to always read

the labels on pain medication to make sure

you’re not doubling or tripling the dose.

A fact many consumers don’t know

Today, many people are taking an 81-

mg Aspirin tablet to decrease the risk of

coronary attack. Aspirin works by mak-

ing platelets slippery so they are less likely

to form a fatal blood clot. It accomplishes

this by attaching itself to an enzyme called

cyclooxygenase that controls the level of

thromboxane A2. It, in turn, controls plate-

let stickiness. But naproxen and ibuprofen

also seek out this enzyme and if they ar-

rive fi rst there’s no room for Aspirin. So

it’s prudent to take Aspirin 30 minutes be-

fore these medications or eight hours after.

Don’t stop NSAIDs cold turkey

A report from The Harvard Medical

School claims a sudden stoppage of this

medication makes it more likely that a

blood clot will form.

I love onions. I must con-

fess I usually add more on-

ions than the recipe calls

for. This recipe is an on-

ion lovers dream. I serve

it with my favourite pasta

and sauce.

1 bread slice, crusts re-

moved

4 tbsp. milk

Butter for greasing or

Pam spray

4 large onions, yellow or

white

1/2 lb. extra lean ground

beef, cooked

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1 tbsp. Swiss cheese,

freshly grated (mozzarella

works well)

1 egg, lightly beaten

4 large Swiss slices,

halved (mozzarella works

well)

Salt and pepper to taste

2/3 cup water

If serving with your fa-

vourite pasta and sauce

enough for four servings.

Tear the bread into piec-

es, place in a bowl, add the

milk and let soak. Preheat

the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease with butter or spray

with Pam a medium-large

casserole dish.

Parboil the onions in

salted, boiling water for

four minutes, then drain

well and let cool, slightly.

Carefully cut them in half

without breaking them up.

Scoop out the fl esh from

the centers, leaving the

‘shells’ intact, chop the

scooped out onion and mix

it with the cooked meat

in a large bowl. Then add

the squeezed out bread,

the parsley, grated Swiss

cheese and egg, season with

salt and pepper and mix

well. Fill the onion shells

with this mixture, top each

with a slice of Swiss cheese.

Arrange the onions in a

single layer in the prepared

casserole dish, pour 2/3

cups of water into the dish

and bake for about 30 min-

utes or until golden brown.

Immigration and diversity are two of the main themes

this year during World Day of Prayer which will take place

in the City on March 1st.

Churches globally will celebrate the day by offering ser-

vices speaking on the theme of ‘I was a stranger and you

welcomed me’ and encouraging people to take part and

hear the different stories.

“The World Day of Prayer is in regards to women

throughout the world and is just a day to make people

aware of women and the fact that in some countries they

are relatively fortunate, and in others they are not,” said

Shirley Gehman, president of one of the United Church

Women groups.

Gehman spearheaded this year’s service, which will

be hosted at Gaetz Memorial United Church at 2 p.m. on

March 1st.

The service is open to the public and is considered a

non-denominational event as Gehman said anyone of any

religion is welcome to come and listen to the guest speak-

ers and take part in the event.

“We have women from fi ve different places speaking this

year including an immigrant woman from the Ukraine,

another with a French background, one from Brazil and

one from Rwanda.”

The idea of the service is to include everybody whether

they be man or woman or of any specifi c denomination,

said Gehman.

“We have some different hymns that we have chosen.

We just want to make people aware of the diffi culties the

people coming from around the world face when immi-

grating to a new home.”

Gehman said there will be a DVD shown during the ser-

vice, as is done most years. The focus country this year is

France so the short fi lm will show what struggles women

face when moving into France.

“Because this is a worldwide event they like to focus on a

different country each year. But neither you nor I will see

all of the countries involved be featured in our lifetimes.”

There are 170 countries involved in World Day of Prayer

and it has been running formally since 1932 though it got

its humble beginnings in 1887. It is an international ecu-

menical Christian laywomen’s initiative.

Gehman said she has attended the service for many

years and said attendance usually is around 100 or 125

people but they welcome more.

There is a light lunch after the service and a collection

will be taken during the service as well. Money raised in

the collection plate will go to aid women in need.

Gehman said she would like to see everybody come and feel

welcome and said she recently read a quote that expressed

the idea of mass participation rather well. “The quote said

we are all human beings no matter where we were born or

what race we are or country we come from,” she said.

An upcoming event in

Red Deer will present to cit-

izens different techniques

for following their ‘inner

guidance’. The seminar by

the Inner Peace Movement

of Canada (IPM) will be

held March 19 at both 1 p.m.

and 7 p.m. in the Cronquist

business centre at 4, 5579 –

47 St.

“It’s about personal de-

velopment and following

your inner guidance which

most people don’t know

how to access or use to

their benefi t,” said Inner

Peace Movement represen-

tative Donna Fuechtman.

Fuechtman said the

seminar is aimed to teach

people how to trust their

intuition and instincts re-

garding decisions and situ-

ations.

“It is innate within all of

us and is really about when

we are relaxed and follow-

ing our intuition without

second guessing ourselves

or over-thinking things.”

During the seminar at-

tendees will hear about the

spiritual facts of our lives

and the four spiritual gifts

that are considered to be in

every person.

“It’s a lot like learning a

second language.”

The Inner Peace Move-

ment of Canada is now in

its 40th year as a non-profi t

educational program. It is

not a religion and there is

no joining.

Part of the belief of the

IPM is that there are no

mistakes in life, simply

stepping stones to the next

phase and that people’s

ambitions and desires are

real and must be acted

upon to make dreams re-

ality by giving them direc-

tion.

“We invite everybody to

just come out and listen.”

Fuechtman said people

will ultimately make their

own decisions but the IPM

is simply here to share

what they have found

works for them.

She said there is no obli-

gation to do what is taught

but encourages people to

give it a try. Fuechtman

added that even if people

don’t change their lifestyles

drastically, each attendee

walks away having heard

some interesting facts and

having taken part in a great

evening.

Fuechtman said it is a

relaxed and casual atmo-

sphere of sharing, caring,

and learning where no one

person is singled out or

made to feel like they are in

the wrong.

IPM focuses on strength-

ening inner guidance and

the positive impact that

can have on family rela-

tionships. They teach that

as we learn to relax within

ourselves we fi nd answers

and solutions to put direc-

tion in their lives and fi nd

more fulfi lment.

Tickets will be sold at the

door the day of the event

and are $15 per person.

During the lecture, at-

tendees will be taught how

to keep things in their life

simple, joyful and fun.

“Whether you buy in to

it or not, everybody walks

away having learned some-

thing. It doesn’t hurt to just

open up and listen.”

SPORTS

BY JIM CLAGGETTRed Deer Express

Athletes, no matter what the level they

are playing their sport at, are always look-

ing for an edge within the rules to get a leg

up on the competition.

For golfers, technology seems to be the

main source to get ahead in the game but

the Continuing Education department at

Red Deer College is giving those walkers of

the fairways a little something right from

the core in order to improve your game.

It’s called ‘Swing Into Yoga-For Golfers’

and it may provide you with a way to enter

the golf season in 2013 prepared, said yoga

instructor Suzanne Blackwell, who brings

with her a lengthy resume of working with

athletes from other sports, instructing

them on how they can use yoga to their

advantage. The course is designed to shake

off the winter rust with a combination of

golf and yoga. “Not just having them hit

some golf balls which they would do on

one night but also to get their body ready

to go for golf,” she said, about the yoga

component.

Blackwell will get the golfers on the mat

one night and RDC golf coach Scott Berg-

dahl will take you through the swing as-

pect of the game.

The course will see both instructors look

at your swing and what physical ailments

you might have which could be prevent-

ing you from getting the most out of your

game, along with maybe adding some more

power and mobility, said Blackwell.

“A lot of golfers don’t realize that their

power comes bio-mechanically from the

ground up,” she said, about the swing se-

quence involving the foot all the way to

your hands and everything in between. “So

all those areas have to be mobile and stable

and strong to be able to maximize your per-

formance.” Golfers at the higher levels of

the game have known how fl exibility and

physical fi tness is a valuable asset to have

in the bag, said Bergdahl.

“So the more limber your body is the

better it is just to make consistent contact.”

After the fi ve-week program wraps up

you can continue to use the knowledge for

the rest of your life, she said.

“Once people are introduced to the spe-

cifi cs of how yoga can apply they may not

need a specifi c class anymore.”

Working with a golf professional is the

perfect combination as Bergdahl sees

things in the player which are golf specifi c

while Blackwell is picking up information

from her fi tness instructor viewpoint.

“I can see he might need to work on his

hip alignment or that his shoulder stabil-

ity might need some work,” she said. “My

perspective might be a little more holistic.”

Bergdahl added if a golfer doesn’t have

basic strength in their lower back or their

abdomens, then there is a good chance

they will stand up out of that shot or lift

up and top the ball. “You can go right down

to swing fl aws. If a persons hips or ankles

have problems it may be diffi cult for them

to get into that fi nish position.”

Both instructors are excited to be able to

offer this combination for the fi rst time in

Central Alberta. “Anytime you can bring

science into golf it’s a good thing. The

more you can give the student the better

in theory they’re going to become,” said

Bergdahl.

Blackwell added this is something golf-

ers can do in their off-season as well when

the snow is on the ground.

The class, which begins March 4th, is

fi lling up quickly. For more information on

the program check out the RDC Continu-

ing Education web site.

SPORTS

When it comes to our sports fans will

always be ready with an opinion on a sub-

ject, a game, a certain play.

Sports fans are never shy about telling

others what they think and while most do

so in a courteous fashion there are those

who make it a point to use a decibel level

above a jet taking off to ensure you don’t

miss anything.

But even those boisterous buffoons can

be tolerated to an extent greater than the

keyboard cowards who crawled out from

under their rock last week to say what they

had to say about a pair of sports broadcast-

ers.

The targets of these mouth breathers

were Gurdeep Ahluwalia and Nabil Karim,

anchors for TSN who co-hosted the sports

show last Tuesday night.

For some reason these backwoods bozos

decided it was just fi ne to post some very

racist twitter remarks about these two

men.

Now I know I have been vocal about cer-

tain national sports commentators in the

past and I’m not alone in expressing my

thoughts on how they have performed but

I always have and always will attach my

name to my comments - right or wrong.

I have never made it a personal issue

with these announcers nor will I ever but

I will still express my opinion (sometimes

I do get a little excited about it though, just

ask anyone who knows me).

These twitter twits however have cho-

sen to hide behind the wall of anonymity

in order to save face for the crude remarks

they felt a need to share with the twitter

universe.

The positive thing about this travesty

was the fact many people responded in

defense of Gurdeep and Nabil so there is

a silver lining to this in that maybe people

aren’t so tolerant of racism anymore and

are willing to stand up for people they have

likely never met.

The sad fact is this still exists here in

2013 and we can only hope the gene pool

which is home to these narrow-minded in-

dividuals is getting shallower.

If there is any justice in the world then

some of those who know these not so brave

hearts should make a quick call to the po-

lice in order to bring them before the court

system so they can explain the reason for

the unsolicited attack on two men doing

their job.

I for one would be interested in hearing

the explanation for slamming a person

based on their nationality or colour of

their skin.

I think maybe these folks likely couldn’t

string together a complete sentence so

maybe we could arm them with a crayon

so they could jot down their thoughts on

the issue.

Then they could sign it by making their

X.

Taking issue with remarks madeBY JIM CLAGGETTRed Deer Express

It has been tried before

with varying levels of suc-

cess. Take a professional

boxer and put him in the

squared circle with a pro-

fessional wrestler and see

what happens.

One of the fi rst was

Muhammed Ali going up

against Antonio Inoki with

the wrestler spending most

of his time on his back

kicking at Ali.

On Feb. 28th in Red Deer

fans will get to see CNWA

Wrestling’s version of the

spectacle as amateur boxer

P.J. Swales goes head to

head with ‘Mr. Beefy Good-

ness’ Vance Nevada in the

confi nes of Festival Hall.

“I’ve never challenged a

boxer before,” said Nevada.

Apparently the animos-

ity between the two has

been building in advance of

the showdown so now each

man will be able to settle

any differences using the

skills they have learned.

For Nevada, he can draw

from almost 20 years in the

wrestling industry and is

coming up on his 1,500 pro-

fessional match.

The same can’t be said

for the 245lb Swales howev-

er. He learned the sweet sci-

ence in 2012 at the Red Deer

Boxing Club in preparation

for his involvement in the

white-collar boxing event

last November.

Nevada, for his part,

is all about the wrestling

game as over the years he

has done his best to be a

part of the industry in ar-

eas like publishing, men-

toring along with being an

advocate for wrestling in

general. “A lot of people

dismiss professional wres-

tling because of what they

perceive - real or fake,” said

Nevada.

This test against a boxer

will be interesting for both

him and the fans, he said.

“Kind of like when Corn

Flakes rebranded a few

years ago,” said Nevada.

“Taste it again for the fi rst

time.”

Also on the card are all

fi ve current CNWA cham-

pions including national

titleholder Bobby Sharp

against the ‘Tattooed Ter-

minator’ Massive Damage.

HOMES & LIVING

How do you fi nd your style?

What are the criteria you person-

ally subscribe to when it comes

to fashion for you or your home?

I fi nd that people generally fi t

into three style categories -- tra-

ditional, trendsetters or fusion

(eclectic). I met the most perfect

example of eclectic style today at

a consultation.

Traditional folks tend to be very

safe and classic. Either in their

personal style of dress or design-

ing their homes they stay on the

beige side of things and choose

products with good reputation

and longevity. Traditionalists are

not as concerned with trends as

they are with quality and results.

If they are wearing designer la-

bels, you may not be aware of it as

they choose classic styles as op-

posed to outward label advertis-

ing. They opt for safe, well-made

vehicles in demure shades of

white and pale silver and will of-

ten use consumer guides and the

advice of trusted friends to gain

information on their preferred

product. The interesting thing I

have noticed about traditional-

styled people is they can tend to

choose similar to what they have

unless possibly encouraged by

a designer to branch out. People

will choose similar colours and

products to what they already

know and trust. They aren’t al-

ways looking for that wow factor.

Trendsetters are an abundant

category in absolutely every way.

These fashionistas are all about

the latest trend. They have looked

on the Internet and texted their

friends and checked out all of

their friends’ homes to see what

everyone else is decorating with.

They covet the thing that gets

them the jaw-dropping jealousy

and awe of their peers. You will

see them coming in their beauti-

ful, colourful SUV’s, sports cars

and funky crossovers. They will

burst onto the scene wearing the

latest colours and designers bold-

ly displayed for all to see. These

stylish clients know what they

want and may just need a little

guidance here and there – they

are confi dent and not afraid to

spend money on what is hot now.

They want to make a statement in

how they dress and especially in

their homes, they are not afraid

of bold, bright and blingy!

True fusion (eclectic) styles are

rare but refreshing and challeng-

ing to work with. Generally the

artistic and creative spirit will be

far more eclectic in their fashion

and home décor choices. Instead

of hitting Pier One for the latest

styles the fusionist hunts through

antique auctions, estate sales

and unearths rare and beautiful

pieces that speak to them. Their

wardrobe is interesting and vast

with a harmonious blend of well-

made designer pieces thrown to-

gether with a beautiful vintage

scarf and colourful pieces of

jewelry that they have purchased

in travels abroad. They are con-

servative and eco-minded when

it comes to vehicles and a hybrid

or maybe even a bike could be

gracing their driveways. They

purchase and keep belongings in

their homes because they mean

something to them, which tran-

scends trends and results in an

interesting and unique interior

and personal style of dress.

When people ask ‘what is in

style’ I want to respond, it depends

on you. Everyone has their own

personal sense of style, everyone

knows what they like and don’t

like and everyone deep down in-

side understands how certain co-

lours and styles make them feel.

HOMES & LIVING

If you are like most Ca-

nadians your mortgage re-

newal won’t take up much

of your time. Usually, we

get the renewal form from

our mortgage lender, review

it briefl y, sign it and send it

in without thinking about

rates or other options that

are available.

All too often we get

caught up in the daily

rigours of our lives and

when it comes to something

that can be done easily we

take that option and run

with it. Mortgagors (mean-

ing banks, credit unions,

lenders) know that Cana-

dians are complacent and

make the form as simple as

possible for us to complete.

Often only a check mark

by the rate and term along

with signatures on the bot-

tom and boom, mortgage

renewal complete. Phew

that was easy!

Well, if you knew a little

about how lenders bank on

(pun intended) knowing

their consumers behav-

ioural patterns, you would

know that you’ve done ex-

actly as they’ve wanted you

to. Review, sign, repeat.

Many think that since

their bank helped them out

in the beginning that you

owe them something. Well

you don’t, you’ve been pay-

ing interest and that’s their

pay off. Many of the major

banks’ renewal forms have

their fully-priced retail in-

terest rate listed on their

renewal forms and most

Canadians don’t do the

research that could save

them hundreds a month.

In January, I did a re-

newal for a new client that

wasn’t happy with his ex-

isting institution as they

offered him a renewal rate

of 4.49% for a fi ve-year

fi xed term, which was a

0.75% discount off of what

their ‘full retail’ rate is -

5.24%. They told him that

to get a better interest rate

he would have to do more

banking with them. .

Well instead of bow-

ing to them, he went to

the ‘googler’ machine and

typed in Red Deer Mort-

gage Broker and found in-

terest rates that blew him

away. Every site he went

to had fi ve-year fi xed inter-

est rates in the 2.94-3.19%

range, an immediate 30% in

savings with just a click on

the Internet.

He took it upon himself

to switch his mortgage

to a new lender that he

wouldn’t have to change his

entire banking life around

just to get a market priced

interest rate.

Don’t be a sheep when it

comes to your fi nances, do

your homework it’ll save

you thousands.
