BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
The creative team behind
a highly-anticipated fi lm
production is thrilled to
screen their project early next
month.
The Matchbox Theatre Founda-
tion and Ozmosis Entertainment
in association with Ignition The-
atre are premiering Year After
Year, adapted from the critically-
acclaimed 2010 stage musical of
the same name. The world pre-
miere screening, which is by invi-
tation only, takes place Oct. 27th.
A week-long public screening
runs at Carnival Cinemas Nov. 1-7.
“Having the opportunity to
produce a feature fi lm checks the
box beside the number one item
on my personal bucket list,” said
Matt Grue, producer/co-screen-
writer, Year After Year. “To be
able to have done it alongside the
friends and the colleagues I’ve
been working with for the past
decade makes it even more thrill-
ing.”
Grue also wrote Year Af-
ter Year, while Curtis Labelle
penned the music. The lyrics
were written by Spencer Pasman
and Stephanie Ridge.
He also credits an outpouring
of generosity and support from
the local community as critical to
completing the project.
Year After Year chronicles the
dissolving years of seven friends
in their late 20s as they attempt to
navigate the tumultuous waters
of hollow careers, lost ambition,
forgotten dreams and the rela-
tionships that matter most, even
when they can’t recognize it.
They reunite each year to ‘cel-
ebrate’ the birthday of Bill; a
struggling writer paralyzed by
expectation and fraught with
fears about a seemingly bleak fu-
ture.
Hunter, his best friend, is an
ultra successful photographer;
Todd and Rachel are couple tee-
tering on the edge of divorce;
Peter and Laura have been dat-
ing since college and are looking
towards the next step and Kate,
who has known Bill for as long as
she can remember, is trying to ne-
gotiate her love for him and her
need to let go.
As another year passes by, Year
After Year examines how even the
most nuanced moments in our
lives can have a monumental im-
pact on our future. Joel Crichton,
who played Bill in the stage pro-
duction, resumes the part for the
fi lm. Rounding out the cast are
Sarah Hemphill, Matthew Thiel,
Elena Porter, Chris W. Cook, An-
drew McKenzie and Zina Lee.
Grue recalls the production’s
original theatre run, and the
suggestion that the story would
translate well to the big screen.
He approached Dustin Clark
about the project, and to gauge
Clark’s interest in directing the
project.
That was in the late spring of
2010. Grue also knew that Clark
was the ideal choice to direct the
fi lm, not only because of his ex-
tensive training and experience
but also because of Clark’s innate
understanding of utilizing fi lm in
storytelling.
“Dustin is brilliant. He can look
at any script on a page and know
exactly how it will be shot, how it
should come together, what the
colour correction will look like,
what sound needs to be there – he
just has this crazy understand-
ing of how fi lm works for an au-
dience. So there was no question
that he had to do it.
“He and I have also had such
a long, healthy collaborative re-
lationship that I knew I wouldn’t
get pushed aside, and that I could
challenge him in such a way that I
couldn’t challenge another direc-
tor.”
In those early days of pre-pro-
duction, Grue said he kept think-
ing about the potential list of is-
sues and challenges that would
come in pulling of such an enor-
mous production.
But things have fallen into
place and the outpouring of help
and support that the local com-
munity showed to cast and crew
was amazing.
“It only feels right to have the
premiere of Year After Year in the
City that so lovingly supported
it,” said Clark. “We shot in and
around dozens of locations here
and hundreds of people from all
over the community lent their
support in incalculable ways.
“In no other community could
a project like this have been
made. To have so much given to
us in faith and goodwill is very
humbling and incredibly inspir-
ing. I am excited for people to see
the fi lm and hope that it inspires
them as well, to make art and tell
stories and to be proud of the pos-
sibilities that their city offers.”
As for his leading man, there
was also no doubt Crichton, who
also starred in the theatrical pro-
duction, would best meet the de-
mands of the show, added Grue.
“He is so, so good in this movie.
The truth is, with this fi lm and
with a lot of musicals in par-
ticular, they are tough to write
because you have to write with
such broad strokes. You have to
know you are transitioning out
of a song and then eventually you
have to get into a song. You’re re-
ally serving a story more than
you typically would.”
That makes the skills and gift-
ings of an actor that much more
important.
“You get someone like Joel who
can take the writing and just fi nd
so much depth and create layers
that you can experience as an au-
dience. He does these brilliant,
subtle things, he makes so many
interesting choices and he’s so
open to trying anything. He an-
chors it beautifully and never
draws attention to himself,” add-
ed Grue. “He gives a stunning,
stunning performance.”

Tara Veer has been elected as
the City’s new mayor and she’s ea-
ger to get to work.
Unoffi cial results show that she
received 9,400 votes. Cindy Jef-
feries came in second with 7,971
votes, followed by Dennis Trepa-
nier with
1,513 votes,
W i l l i a m
Horn with
951 votes and
Chad Ma-
son with 409
votes.
“We ran a
great cam-
paign from
start to fi nish. I was so honoured
to have so many volunteers – this
victory really belongs to them.
They did it all – I had such great
support on the ground,” said Veer.
“Thank you so much to the people
of Red Deer who have been so very
good to me. I’m honoured to serve
Red Deer in this capacity. It’s go-
ing to be a great four years and the
best is yet to come.”
She said being elected as mayor
is “absolutely surreal.”
“I’ve had a love of politics since
I was really small and over the
course of years I’ve had opportu-
nities to work in the federal gov-
ernment for the federal MP. Red
Deer took a chance on me at a very
young age to become a councillor
and here they’ve trusted me with
the role of mayor,” she said. “It’s
been a long race and this has been
a long time coming.”
Veer said moving forward the
goal is to work with council and
work together
to bring unity
in the commu-
nity.
“I’m look-
ing forward to
meeting with
council, hope-
fully sometime
this week and
taking a look at
the public agenda and going over
the issues that all of us commit-
ted to and moving forward on the
mandate the people of Red Deer
have given us. We have had some
division on issues in the commu-
nity and I’m looking forward to
making progress on issues that
matter the most to Red Deerians.”
Meanwhile, Jefferies said she
ran the best campaign possible
“but it wasn’t enough.”
“It was an amazing experience
for me and I’m thankful for the op-
portunity to have served the com-
munity and now we’ll wait to see
what happens.”
She added she plans to take a
few weeks or even a few months
to regroup and to see what is next.
“I haven’t thought much about
what I’m going to do. I thought I
would cross that bridge if I got
there,” said Jefferies, who has
spent the last 18 years in politics.
She said moving forward, it will
be important for council to begin
building relationships and to trust
and respect one another.
“There is a lot of change on
council and hopefully they con-
tinue to move forward and keep
making a great City for us.”

Red Deer residents don’t have to be
haunted by the amount of garbage they
produce if they reduce, reuse, and recycle.
That’s the idea behind the Waste Reduc-
tion Day Spooktacular event happening at
the City of Red Deer’s Waste Management
Facility Oct. 26 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The inaugural event aims to educate res-
idents about the services the Waste Man-
agement Facility offers to help keep items
out of the landfi ll, including the household
hazardous waste drop-off, recycling drop-
off depot, and electronics recycling drop-
off.
“We buried 1.6 million tonnes of gar-
bage in our old landfi ll between 1972 and
2001. As a community, we have already
packed over 1.2 million tonnes of garbage
into our current landfi ll since it opened in
2001,” said Janet Whitesell, waste manage-
ment superintendent. “The more people
reduce their consumption, reuse items or
give them away to others, and recycle what
they can, the more we can extend the life
of our landfi ll. It is becoming increasingly
diffi cult and expensive to create new land-
fi lls, so it’s important that we make this
one last.”
During the Spooktacular event, brief
bus tours of the facility are scheduled for
11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Hallow-
een candy, cookies and hot chocolate will
be available at the Interpretive Centre.
Residents can earn up to six ballots per
person to enter to win an iPad if they bring
in old batteries, used compact fl uorescent
light bulbs, e-waste (computers, monitors,
TVs), household hazardous waste, dress
in a Halloween costume and bring a travel
mug.
“We want people to understand the con-
nection between the waste they produce
and where it ends up,” said Lauren Maris,
environmental program specialist. “This
event demonstrates the consequences of
consumption, but it also shows how to di-
vert goods from the landfi ll by recycling
items such as old computers, and dispos-
ing of some items – such as batteries – in
an environmentally-appropriate way.”
This event wraps up Waste Reduction
Week, which is a national campaign to
raise awareness about the environmen-
tal and social consequences of waste. See
www.reddeer.ca/waste for details.

Red Deer voters turned out in solid
numbers to make their voices heard in
terms of City leadership Monday.
We have a new mayor and three new
City councillors to help shape the future
of Red Deer – it’s indeed a new chapter in
municipal politics.
Mayor Tara Veer brings much to the
post – charisma, experience (three terms
as City councillor), employment as a
Member of Parliament assistant, com-
mon sense leadership and she’s relatable
to the community.
It’s quite the achievement for someone
in their mid-30s to be elected as mayor, not
to mention already having served for nine
years on council. But the community has
always shown their appreciation for Veer.
In past elections she’s been consistently
one of the highest-voted councillors.
As for the newcomers on City council,
it will be interesting to see how they gel
with the fi ve incumbents. It’s always a
steep learning curve for newbies, as they
are really thrust into the thick of things
immediately – there is no delicate training
period especially with the capital and op-
erational budgets being pretty much right
around the corner.
Being able to learn quickly, collaborate
with others, adapt, and cooperate will
be key in the foreseeable future for this
council.
Lawrence Lee and Ken Johnston both
bring solid backgrounds in community
work and business to their roles as coun-
cillors. Tanya Handley was the sole Red
Deer First member to make it onto coun-
cil, so it will be interesting to see what she
brings as an individual to the table after
campaigning with a large group.
It would be remiss to not acknowledge
the loss of Cindy Jefferies on City council.
Elected in 2004, she continuously brought
strong leadership and direction to council
and prior to that she was at the helm of
Red Deer Public school board for several
years as board chair, too.
She was never afraid to say what she
thought and to stand up for what she be-
lieved in. It has left a huge void on council,
and we’re sorry to see her leave City poli-
tics altogether.
It will certainly be an interesting four
years ahead as the City continues to go
through a series of growing pains. There
are many projects on the table, including
the development of the Riverlands area,
the north highway connector, encourag-
ing more growth on the City’s north end
and the continued issues surrounding
bike lanes, a new aquatic centre featuring
a 50m swimming pool, crime prevention
and safety issues among others.
It’s always a balance of handling per-
ceived community needs vs. what truly
needs to happen for the City’s best inter-
est.
New era for council
Knowing who to trust
is an important social and
business skill. But it’s not
easy to be accurate and con-
trary to popular opinion, we
don’t give it much time.
Two seconds – 30 sec-
onds, tops – that’s all it
takes to assess the confi -
dence, competence, status,
likeability, warmth, and
– yes – trustworthiness of
someone we’ve just met.
In fact, it’s impossible not
to make these snap judg-
ments about people. Our
brains are wired that way.
Because few of us have
the mental agility to con-
sciously perceive and pro-
cess all the factors needed
to make these calculations,
we rely on unconscious es-
timates – or guesses – based
on our past experiences
and preconceptions.
These estimates are also
highly infl uenced by sur-
prisingly small factors, like
where we meet someone,
what they wear, what their
voices sound like, whether
their posture mimics ours,
if they mention of the
names of people we know
or admire, and even the
shape of their faces.
Researchers at the Kel-
logg Scholl of Management
used subliminal cues, such
as mentioning the name of
a good friend, to trigger feel-
ings of trust for a stranger.
These studies also
showed that a potentially
risky decision to trust
someone can begin below
an individual’s conscious
awareness – before there
has been time to evaluate
or verity the subject’s track
record, for example, or in-
quire about his reputation.
We trust some faces and
distrust others – did you
know that there are facial
features that we innately
trust or mistrust? By study-
ing people’s reactions to a
range of artifi cially–gener-
ated faces, researchers in
Princeton’s psychology de-
partment found that faces
with high inner eyebrows,
pronounced cheekbones,
and a wide chin struck peo-
ple as trustworthy.
Conversely, faces with
low inner brows, shallow
cheekbones and a thin
chin were deemed untrust-
worthy. Of course, you
and I realize that eyebrow
shapes and cheekbones
have no relationship with
trustworthiness, but un-
consciously we override
our rational minds and
make an instant and in-
stinctive judgment.
We trust similarities and
are wary of differences.
It’s a well-known principle
in social psychology that
people defi ne themselves in
terms of social groupings:
any group that we feel part
of is an ‘in group’ and any
group that excludes is an
‘out group’. We think dif-
ferently about members in
each group and behave dif-
ferently toward them.
We judge a book by its
cover. Unfair though it may
be, and even if we proclaim
otherwise, we judge people
by their appearance. And
we automatically assign fa-
vorable traits to good look-
ing people, fi nding them to
be more likeable, compe-
tent and honest than unat-
tractive people.
Our expectations high-
jack our ability to be objec-
tive There is a magician’s
trick called the Vanishing
Ball Illusion in which a ball
tossed in the air seems to
disappear, but in reality is
never actually thrown. The
trick depends on the magi-
cian’s skill in creating such
a strong expectation of the
throw that the audience ac-
tually hallucinates having
seen it.
The trick works because
we are psychologically pro-
grammed to see what we ex-
pect to see. Which is exactly
how biases highjack our
ability to judge trustworthi-
ness. Whenever we meet
new people, our brain auto-
matically and immediately
begins to categorize them in
some way – male or female,
same or different, friend or
foe – in order to predict what
is likely to happen next.
The fi rst step to mak-
ing better decisions about
whom to trust is to real-
ize that we are all biased.
Biases result from the
mental shortcuts that our
brains revert to when fac-
ing otherwise overwhelm-
ing information-processing
demands. The process of
deciding whether or not
to trust others depends
on the category we’ve in-
stantly and unconsciously
assigned them to – and our
past experiences with peo-
ple from that group.
While these mental short-
cuts work reasonably well
most of the time, they also
leave us vulnerable to a va-
riety of judgment traps.
This is especially true
when it comes to trust.

8 Red Deer Express Wednesday, October 23, 2013
BY ERIN FAWCETT AND MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
Three new faces have joined the ranks of
City council.
Lawrence Lee (8,406 votes), Ken John-
ston (7,134 votes) and Tanya Handley (6,622
votes) were elected to council Monday
night. Rounding out City council includes
incumbents Dianne Wyntjes with 9,840
votes, Buck Buchanan with 8,434 votes,
Lynne Mulder with 8,341 votes, Frank
Wong with 8,018 votes and Paul Harris
with 6,631 votes.
Mulder said in the next four years she
is looking forward to accomplishing many
things as the new council moves forward.
“I’m really anxious to see crime preven-
tion unfold. We’ve done a lot of work with
the police and the servicing standard but
we haven’t unfolded our crime prevention
banner which is just beginning. I’m also
really excited about Riverlands and seeing
that get developed – we’re not going to de-
velop it all, but we’re going to be excited to
start it.”
Harris said that moving forward, it’s
very important that City council develop
a strong means of better communicating
with the public. “Council has never really
had the ability to communicate with the
public – it’s always been through adminis-
tration,” he said. “That’s a big one for me
because we’ve got so much diversity in the
community and I don’t think council is
hearing the voices of the whole commu-
nity.”
As for projects, Harris said he wants to
see the aquatic centre built to the commu-
nity’s vision – not watered down. “I think
it’s very important that we don’t try and
scale back the community’s vision.” That
includes planning fundraising initiatives
in the community and with the province.
With a bid for the winter games for 2019 in
place, the timing is right, he said.
Harris also pointed to ongoing develop-
ment in the Riverlands as a top priority.
Buchanan said there is much work to be
done in the next four years.
“We have to fi rst off make a team (with
council). There’s going to be that steep
learning curve for all of us. We’ll have a
three or four-month period of getting to
know our teammates – how do they think?
And what do they think?” he said. “There
are a lot of infrastructure challenges right
now. We have the winter games bid coming
up really quickly – there’s no lack of stuff
to do.”
Wyntjes said she was honoured and
humbled the citizens of Red Deer again
showed confi dence in her to represent
them. “I start my campaign the fi rst day af-
ter the election. I was out and about in the
community, and I think it’s really about
connecting with people. The citizens may
not have liked everything I did throughout
the year, but for the most part for me it’s
about weighing everything out,” she said.
“We run individually as candidates, but
now, after the council is determined and
sworn in, we have to work together and
get the work done.” She said keeping am-
bulance dispatch local and development of
the Riverlands are among the top issues for
her heading into the new term.
Wong said he looks forward to pushing
for more development on the City’s north
side. “We are losing residential, commer-
cial and industrial market to our sur-
rounding towns. We keep pushing (devel-
opment) to the southeast. People can get
from Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds and Penhold
to Queens Business Park fi ve minutes fast-
er than those living in Inglewood or Vanier
in Red Deer,” he said.
Wong also indicated the ward system,
which was rejected in a ballot question,
would have helped with such a large num-
ber of candidates this year – 30 people tried
for a seat on council.
Meanwhile, council newcomer Johnston
said he is excited to join council.
“I just want to thank Red Deer and obvi-
ously thank all of my supporters. It’s been
an awesome fi ve months and I can’t wait to
get to work.”
He added there are many issues he hopes
to tackle in his fi rst term on council.
“Downtown development and railyards
would be critical. The north connector
road is part of the equation in getting that
piece right for the City,” he said. “If you
look at what is ahead of us, people still
expect us to spend wisely and when you
think of our capital plan coming up and
our budget coming up, I think the public
will expect this team to pay attention to
that as well as the bigger, broader issues.”
Lee said he was very humbled to see the
support he was shown as the results came
in Monday evening. “I stepped up on my
social networking efforts, and really it was
about doing the things that I learned on
school board – engaging with people and
meeting with them where they are. I think
it made a huge difference – being out there
and being accessible.”
Lee said he’s looking forward to building
relationships with the rest of council and
Mayor Tara Veer.
Handley is also a newcomer to council,
and the only person from the Red Deer
First group to be successful in her bid for
the post. “I ran with Red Deer First – people
supporting each other with a great team
behind me, lots of help with sign repair
and campaigning – so I think that helped
having a good team behind me,” she said.
“A big thing for me is trying to get a
good debt repayment strategy in place,”
she added in terms of looking ahead. As to
joining fi ve incumbents, she noted, “They
defi nitely have a lot of experience – I need
to learn from them and work together as a
group and collaborate.”
In addition, voters voiced their opinion
when it came to the question posed on the
ballot regarding a ward system. The ques-
tion on the ballot asked if the City should
have ward systems or not - 13,097 electors
voted no and 5,130 voted yes.
Meanwhile, elected to the public school
board are Bev Manning, Bill Stuebing, Bill
Christie, Cathy Peacocke, Jim Watters, Di-
anne Macaulay and Dick Lemke.
Elected to the Catholic School board are
Adriana Lagrange, Anne Marie Watson,
David Bouchard, Guy Pelletier and Mur-
ray Hollman.

Dear Friend and Fellow Back and Neck Pain Sufferer:
I magine what your life could be like WITHOUT back and neck pain. You could get your old life back. You could
enjoy life again.
“Pain Gone! At Last, Here is the Natural Solution to Ridding Yourself
of Back and Neck Pain Forever!”Sadly, you are not alone in your suffering.
You, like thousands in Red Deer and Central Alberta, suffer with back and neck pain. There’s a good chance, you have probably seen a doctor in the past few days or weeks because of your continual pain.
If you have, you’ve likely received this advice. Pain drugs or physiotherapy or…both. If those two don’t help you, you are then told: “You’ll have to learn to live with the pain or have surgery.” I don’t know about you . . . neither of these options sound appealing to me.
In desperation, you may have been to your chiropractor. They did everything they could. Or . . . you have seen an acupuncturist and had a series of needles inserted.
Nothing has helped you. What are you supposed to do? Just suffer?
The thought of a lifetime of pain and limitation is depressing. Your joy has been sucked out of you. You cannot enjoy your life. You can’t work in the garden. You can’t golf. In fact, it’s hard to even get around the house. Even the basics are a chore.
What if there was another way? What if there was a non-surgical, painless, in-office and cheap way to get quick relief as well as long term freedom from pain, suffering and poor mobility?
There is another way. There is help. Keep reading!
“Imagine…You Free from Back and Neck Pain!”
You are frustrated and desperate. Frustrated by the fact no one is paying attention to the cause of your problem. Only Band-Aid suggestions: rest, pain killers, anti-inflammatories, physiotherapy, adjustments and needles. You are desperate to find someone who can help get rid of your misery. Get rid of back and neck pain caused by bulging, herniated discs or arthritis causing spinal stenosis.
You’ll be relieved to know help is available. Look no further. The end of pain and suffering is just around the corner. You may have the opportunity to get your old life back…even enjoy the things you used to.
“Announcing! The New Way to Get Rid of Back and Neck Pain!”New breakthrough medical discoveries and
technologies get to the root cause of your back and neck pain. If you suffer with bulging or herniated discs, spine arthritis, stenosis, even failed back or neck surgeries, you have a brand
new chance to find help and relief. Your pain could be gone for good.
People, just like you, in Red Deer and Central Alberta are reporting their pain is gone. They are able to reduce and sometimes eliminate their pain drugs. They are able to enjoy their lives again. Imagine…walking up and down the stair, going for walks, gardening, golfing, playing with the kids or grandkids. . . WITHOUT pain and WITHOUT any limitations! What would you be able to enjoy if your back and neck pain were gone? I can tell you one thing. You’d enjoy your life again and you’d have a lot more fun.
Relax and allow an FDA registered, computerized technology, gently release pressure on delicate discs and nerves. In addition, new state-of-the-art healing lasers and whole body vibration and…science based alternative medicines, make you feel better and move better. Your body’s natural, self-healing abilities will kick in and give you your life back.
“When Doctors Suffer from Back and Neck Pain – This is What They do!”
These new medical breakthroughs are quickly becoming the preferred treatments for decompressing the afflicted areas of your spine, reducing swelling and stimulating movement. In fact, many doctors treat themselves with this method before considering surgery.
How do I know?I know because I am one of them. You see,
four years ago, I herniated a disc in my back. I am now pain FREE and able to walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle. Someday, when I have grandkids, I’ll be able to get down on the floor and play with them.
What about you? What would you do and enjoy if your pain was gone and you could move and play? I can guarantee your life would be better than it is now!
Many people, right now, are suffering needlessly. Back and neck pain are ruining their lives. They have given up hope or have been told: “There is no hope…you are going to have to learn to live with the pain!” Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “You have options. There is hope!”
Call NOW for your FREE “Eliminates Your Back and Neck Pain!” consultation. One of our doctors will sit down with you, listen to you and see if you qualify for our care. Don’t worry. Your consultation is absolutely FREE. And…if you qualify for care, you will be guided step by step.

Health offi cials are asking Albertans to
get immunized to prevent the spread of fl u
this season.
All Albertans should be immunized to
reduce their chances of getting the fl u and
passing it on to others, offi cials say.
“The infl uenza vaccine isn’t just about
keeping you healthy – it’s about keeping
the people around you healthy too. This
vaccine reduces the spread of this illness
and deaths in our province.
“It also helps reduce pressure on our
emergency departments and on our health
care system as a whole,” said Fred Horne,
health minister.
The vaccine is free of charge to all Al-
bertans six months of age and older.
The vaccine is available at public clin-
ics as well at some pharmacies and physi-
cian offi ces. Once again this year, a nasal
spray will be available for children two to
17 years of age.
Nearly 920,000 Albertans were immu-
nized during last year’s infl uenza season.
That’s an increase of nearly 46,000 from
the previous year.
About 60% of seniors and 30% of chil-
dren between six - 23 months were immu-
nized last year.
Another simple and effective way to stay
healthy and prevent the spread of infl uen-
za is through proper handwashing.
About 80% of common infections are
spread by hands. In Alberta, the average
cost of treating a hospitalized person with
infl uenza is $17,000.
Infl uenza is an infection of the respirato-
ry tract (nose, throat, lungs) that is caused
by a virus. The virus gets into the air when
someone with the disease coughs, sneezes
or talks. It can also be spread by touching
objects that have been coughed or sneezed
upon by someone with the virus.
Children six to 59 months of age, preg-
nant women, those 65 years of age and
over and people with chronic health condi-
tions are at higher risk of developing com-
plications from infl uenza. Complications
can include pneumonia (bacterial or viral),
ear and sinus infections, dehydration, and
worsening of chronic medical conditions,
such as congestive heart failure, asthma,
or diabetes.
Clinic dates in Red Deer run Oct. 21-22
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Oct. 23 from 12:30 to
7:30 p.m. and Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
a drop-in basis at the Harvest Centre.
Additional clinics will be held at the Red
Deer Curling Centre on Oct. 29-30 and Nov.
28 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. on a drop-in basis
as well. They will also be held Nov. 8, 13-14
and 21 from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. on a drop-in
basis at the Red Deer iHotel as well.

REPORTING DRUG ACTIVITY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Like many communities, Red Deer faces a growing battle against drugs in the com-munity. The police cannot solve this issue alone and require the community to become involved.
In some instances it may be diffi cult to know what to look for in regards to drug ac-tivity, some of the following may be indica-tors:
- Large amounts of vehicle and foot traf-fi c coming and going from a residence or ve-hicle.
- Repeated, observable exchanges of items and money.
- Possible marijuana grow operations - noxious odours coming from a residence with blinds always drawn and high humidity in windows.
Don’t assume that the police already know about the suspicious activity, or that a neigh-
bor will call. If you see activity that you think may be drug related, document any patterns you observe and contact the Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575.
If you wish to remain anonymous, 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.

Central Alberta has an
incredible wealth and di-
versity of natural vegeta-
tion and wildlife. However,
despite this wonderful
abundance, the natural
world can also be very frag-
ile and easily disrupted by
humankind.
Probably the best ex-
ample of this is the fate of
the bison, more commonly
known as the buffalo.
It is hard for us today to
realize how prolifi c the buf-
falo once were.
In ancient times, the
prairies and the parklands
were black with the huge
numbers of the animals.
Annie L. Gaetz, in her book
The Park Country, related
how David McDougall, one
of the famous McDougall
missionary family, was
once forced to wait for
more than three days at the
Red Deer Crossing until an
enormous herd of buffalo
crossed the river and he
had a chance to ford.
In a similar story, she
recounted how McDougall
was prevented from mak-
ing his way across what
are now the Central School
grounds because the large
number of buffalo cows
and calves that were block-
ing his way.
The First Peoples of Cen-
tral Alberta enjoyed a rela-
tively rich and comfortable
life by relying on the buf-
falo as their main source of
food, clothing, material for
shelter and utensils. The
First Peoples made such
effi cient use of the buffalo
that sometimes the animals
were referred to as the ‘fac-
tories of the plains.’
The journals of the early
explorer Anthony Henday
give us a glimpse of how
well the First Nations lived,
particularly after they ac-
quired the horse and the
gun which made it much
easier to hunt the buffalo.
In 1754, he described
an encampment at Pine
Lake as having 200 large
teepees, arranged in two
long rows with a broad
‘avenue,’ nearly a kilome-
tre long. The chief’s tent
was located at one end and
was large enough to con-
tain 50 people. There was
food in tremendous abun-
dance: boiled buffalo meat
served in baskets and large
haunches roasted on the
fi re.
By the mid-19th century,
large buffalo hunter camps
were established north east
of what is now Delburne
and around Buffalo Lake.
At their peak, these com-
munities of Tail Creek and
Boss Hill were the largest
inhabited places west of
Winnipeg.
However, they were also
the sign of the rapid de-
cline of the buffalo. The
herds that used to popu-
late the Red River Valley
and eastern Saskatchewan
were rapidly vanishing.
The Metis buffalo hunters
consequently were forced
to move to west Central
Alberta to fi nd herds large
enough to sustain their
way of life.
Not long afterwards, the
buffalo vanished from this
part of the world as well.
The last reported sight-
ing of wild buffalo in the
Red Deer area occurred
north of the Red Deer
Crossing in the summer of
1884. There were a mere six
animals in the herd.
Nature quickly responds
to sudden changes. One of
the fi rst consequences of
the near extinction of the
buffalo was the disappear-
ance of the magpie. These
birds of the corvidae fam-
ily became so scarce that
any sighting of them be-
came front page news. It
was not until the arrival
of large herds of cattle and
the large amounts of waste
and debris left around by
humankind that the mag-
pie made a major come-
back in numbers.
The years 1887-1888 were
recorded as being amongst
the very best hunting sea-
sons in Central Alberta’s
history.
Various species of wild-
life rapidly fi lled the space
left by the vanishing buf-
falo. C.G. Ross reported
shooting 40 prairie chick-
ens in an hour. One First
Nations hunter was able to
shoot 11 deer in a couple of
days in the Hunting Hills
southeast of Red Deer.
Later, two hunters were
able to bag 37 deer in the
same area in less than a
week, along with a number
of wolves and lynx.
However, the wild buf-
falo never returned. Those
that are found in Central
Alberta today are those
that are being raised by lo-
cal farmers and ranchers.
12 Red Deer Express Wednesday, October 23, 2013
BY JENNA SWANRed Deer Express
It’s that time of year again and the spot-
lights can be seen circling the sky around
the Zed Haunted House.
Intended for audiences over 10 years of
age, the spook-tacular haunted house is
not for the faint of heart.
With a gut-wrenching and shiver-invok-
ing theme of ‘You’re Never Alone in the
Dark’, the event is sure to frighten you
while testing your fear-handling abilities.
Deemed as Central Alberta’s most ‘fatal’
attraction, the Zed Haunted House is put
on as a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls
Clubs of Red Deer and District.
Located at 7710 50 Ave. in Lions Plaza the
event runs until Oct. 31st.
Tickets are $15 per person or $20 for a
Spook Pass that includes preferred (fast-
track) admission, exclusive photo op with
characters and a Trick or Treat gift.
Even the lobby is full of fun as you hear
the screams of those in the house already.
The offi cial house web site at www.zed-
hauntedhouse.com explains that “As soon
as you enter the front door, you will be
transported into a realm of terror - a dark
twisting maze through rooms populated
with creatures from your worst night-
mares. Your only goal will be to elude the
predators who stalk you through the dark-
ness - to be a survivor, not a victim, of the
house.”
Director of the Boys and Girls Club,
John Johnson and head of the Zed Haunt-
ed House, believes the success of the event
for so many years is due to the incredible
support from the community alongside
training that he and the volunteers have
received from their trips to the Interna-
tional Association of Haunted Attractions
Convention in California.
“These are intense conferences,” said
Johnson.
“Our volunteers will spend a week with
the director of Terror
Nights at Universal Stu-
dios and the people from
Disney who are truly the
best in the business and
this is where they will
be shown how to build
props and really frighten
people.”
Johnson emphasizes
that the many hours of
volunteer work spent put-
ting the house together
combined with their ar-
ray of frightening props
have really come together
this year to create one of the spookiest
houses the City has ever seen.
In the past, the house has seen as many
as 7,200 people come through the doors per
year, and Johnson hopes this year the weath-
er will cooperate to allow them to beat their
record.
“It’s a haunted attraction yes, but we do
this because we have a very loyal follow-
ing in Red Deer over the years, but more
importantly because it is the main fund-
raiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs,” said
Johnson. “This fundraiser provides the
dollars that are needed to
put together the commu-
nity-based activities for
the clubs throughout the
year.”
Johnson said he loves
this fundraiser because it
not only incorporates the
youth as volunteers for
the house but it also gets
them working on a proj-
ect with the community
volunteers. In previous
years the event has raised
up to $80,000 and this year
Johnson hopes they will
clear $100,000.
Zed Haunted House reminds residents
that this event is not advised for pregnant
women and children under the age of 10
must be accompanied by an adult.
UNVEILING ARCHES – The Historic Arches, a part of Centennial Plaza Park, have been completed and were unveiled at a public ceremony last week. City Manager CraigCurtis opened the ceremonies saying the interpretive plaques, which were recently added,celebrate the infl uence of transportation and railway on the development of the City.

“THIS FUNDRAISER PROVIDES THE DOLLARS
THAT ARE NEEDED TO PUT TOGETHER THE COMMUNITY-BASED ACTIVITIES FOR THE CLUBS THROUGHOUT
THE YEAR.”

CITY BRIEFS by Mark Weber
AUTHOR VISITS CITYA New York Times best-
selling author will be visiting Red Deer Public Library Oct. 24.
Fans of literature, espe-cially successful Canadian literature, will not want to miss meeting Ontario-born, highly-acclaimed author Cathy Marie Buchanan.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have such high caliber tal-ent speaking in our Library,” said RDPL staff member Mary Neely, who has coordi-nated the author’s visit.
Neely has invited Bu-chanan to meet with her bookclub, Fireside Readers, via Skype several times and due to those Internet meet-ings, the two arranged for Buchanan to come to the Library.
“We are so appreciative of her kind offer to come here on her own dime, not many authors will do that.”
Buchanan’s reasoning for coming to the City is one of affection for the small nine-person book club held at Red Deer Public Library.
“Though I’ve yet to visit Red Deer in person, I feel a real kinship with the library. I’ve Skyped into the library’s book club meetings for both
The Day the Falls Stood Still and The Painted Girls, and have been delighted to meet such attentive, enthusiastic, curious readers.
“I’m very much looking forward to my in-person visit.”
Buchanan will speak Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. in the Down-town Branch’s Snell Audito-rium.

or $787,817 of the $2.25 mil-
lion community goal for
the 2013 campaign has been
raised so far.
“We have been working
at connecting with our lo-
cal businesses, partners
and donors to let everyone
know that they can be a
hero to community mem-
bers in need. There are so
many people who have al-
ready been helped by Unit-
ed Way each year and yet
we know that there are still
more who need support,”
said Dustin Sundby, 2013
volunteer campaign cabi-
net co-chair.
The money raised dur-
ing the campaign will be
invested back into the com-
munity in the upcoming
months.
“We want to show our
donors that their decision
to support United Way is
already having a positive
impact on the community,
which is why we strive to
invest it as soon as pos-
sible. This year, we were
excited to welcome six new
programs into our United
Way family, creating stron-
ger impact and supporting
more kids to be all that they
can be,” said Robert Mitch-
ell, CEO of United Way of
Central Alberta. “It’s even
more crucial that we have
a successful campaign, as
we are hoping to welcome
even more programs into
the fold early this spring.”
This year’s campaign
theme is ‘Be A Superhero
For Change’ and it seems
to have resonated with the
public.
“It’s a simple decision to
step forward and support
your community and that
simple decision has a last-
ing impact on hundreds
if not thousands of lives.
That’s what we believe su-
perheroes do, protect and
support those in need,”
said Buck Buchanan, 2013
volunteer campaign co-
chair.
“This campaign started
strong and we need it to
continue on that trend.
However, we still have a
long way to go.”
The money raised during
this campaign is put back
into the community and
provides consistent fund-
ing to over 40 programs
and services in Central
Alberta. Last year, 3,368
young children and their
families were able to learn
about how to get the best
start in life.
Altogether, over 108,000
people in Central Alberta
were helped thanks to do-
nor dollars raised during
campaign.
The United Way invests
in a wide array of human
service agencies that help
local people transition
from dependence to inde-
pendence, and improve
their quality of life.

Fans of the enduring
classics won’t want to miss
OH WHAT A NIGHT! A
Musical Tribute To Frankie
Valli & The Four Seasons
set for Oct. 27 at the Memo-
rial Centre.
It’s an exciting musical
revue written by Motown
producer and creative con-
sultant George Solomon,
directed by Michael Chap-
man with choreography by
Paul Holmquist.
Sherry, Big Girls Don’t
Cry, Walk Like A Man,
Can’t Take My Eyes Off
You, My Eyes Adored
You, Working My Way
Back To You, Let’s Hang
On and Who Loves You are
just some of the hits audi-
ences will enjoy from the
songbook of those boys
from Jersey - Frankie Val-
lie & the Four Seasons.
“We put this show to-
gether in the fall of 2008,”
said Solomon, during an
interview from his offi ce in
Los Angeles. “It’s all about
the songs, and it’s done in a
humorous way. You also get
to know the four characters
onstage. The audience also
starts to really like the four
individuals, and when the
show is over they know
their names.”
There are no big splashy
special effects – just the
power of the music, which
is more than enough, he
added. “It’s been crafted
so well, you get really into
it. You don’t need anything
else but those four guys.”
Solomon describes him-
self as a huge fan of Valli,
and recalls his older sib-
lings listening to his tunes
all the time.
“Even as a kid, (I found)
his songs so catchy, and his
voice was so accessible and
irresistible. I fi nd that even
now when we have kids un-
der 10 in the audience, they
love this show. They come
up to us afterwards, talk-
ing about how they love
these songs, and how they
listened to the words.”
These days, there are
more than 50 guys divided
into teams of four perform-
ing the show world-wide.
It’s a challenge to fi nd
the right performers, as
producers aren’t just look-
ing for one guy to ‘play’
Valli. “All four guys sing
lead; all four are featured.
You need four guys who
can sing, have good comedy
timing, who are good danc-
ers and good actors on top
of all of that, too.”
While the smash hit Jer-
sey Boys is a musical bi-
ography of the group, OH
WHAT A NIGHT! A Musi-
cal Tribute To Frankie Val-
li & The Four Seasons is a
concert and tribute, which
features all the original
hits as well as top 10 releas-
es not in Broadway’s Tony
award-winning hit. This
includes Valli’s biggest solo
hit from the blockbuster
movie Grease.
“I don’t think there is
anybody, of any age, who
doesn’t know that song. It
was the very biggest hit
of Frankie Valli’s solo ca-
reer,” said Solomon, who
is virtually a veteran per-
former having begun his
professional career at age
15. While in New York City,
he appeared in many the-
atrical productions and
in a short time went onto
receive a ‘Drama Critics
Award for Best Actor’ in
Neil Simon’s Come Blow
Your Horn.
Scouted by an ABC TV
executive who prompted
him to move to the west
coast, Solomon landed a
lead in the show Stars on
45, which went on to be
fi lmed and released by
Universal MCA. This led
to a role in the critically-
acclaimed musical Dream
Street for which he was the
recipient of the Las Vegas
Entertainment Personality
of the Year Award.
He was later spotted by
Motown founder Berry
Gordy Jr., leading to an
ongoing association with
Emmy Award winning pro-
ducer Suzanne Depasse.
Solomon was also asked
to create a live production
with Smokey Robinson.
The series Motown Re-
view also gave Solomon
the chance to perform with
and for a variety of stars
including Diana Ross, Bill
Cosby, Tina Turner, Stevie
Wonder, George Michael,
Liza Minnelli among oth-
ers.
“The only one that ever
really left me speechless –
think I stammered – was
when I was face to face with
Lucille Ball. She’s such a
fi gure of our imagination
from television, you just
can’t believe she’s standing
in front of you.”
In 1990, Frankie Valli &
the Four Seasons were in-
ducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. To this
day their music continues
to thrill all ages. To that
end, the cast of the show
stay true to the recordings
without trying to mimic or
impersonate the group.
As for the songs’ endur-
ing appeal, Solomon cred-
its the songwriting fi nesse
and Valli’s unique voice
with much of its legendary
nature.
“I think it’s the way the
songs were crafted. I see
them as little stories, and I
think they had amazingly
catchy hooks to them. If
you hear one of the songs
once, you can sing it – the
melody would be in your
head and the harmonies
are so pleasing to the ear.
And Frankie’s voice – that
instantly recognizable
voice.”
The musical revue that
organizers say has been
captivating audiences with
its choreography, bound-
less energy, humour and,
of course, pop songs that
have become timeless.
“It’s a feel-good show
with great music and great
performers. It’s family
friendly – something you
can defi nitely bring the
kids too. It’s ageless.”

The Central Alberta
Prostate Awareness & Sup-
port group is proud to pres-
ent ‘Awareness Musicale’
– an evening of live music
in support of those affected
by prostate cancer.
The benefi t concert is
taking place at Festival
Hall in Red Deer on Nov. 8
at 7 p.m., and will feature
Ben Crane with appear-
ances by Lloyd Griffi th,
Ray Baird, and the Visions
Country Gospel group.
Tickets are $20 and can
be purchased at 53rd Street
Music, over the phone at
1-877-895-4430 or online
at www.davidthompson-
healthtrust.com. There are
only 300 tickets available.
Tickets purchased for
the event will go towards
helping one of the esti-
mated 2,500 men in Alberta
that will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer in this
coming year. According to
prostatecancer.ca, approxi-
mately eight men every
week will die from pros-
tate cancer in Alberta. But,
when detected and treated
early, 95% of prostate can-
cer cases can be cured.
Funds raised through the
concert will allow the Cen-
tral Alberta Prostate Aware-
ness & Support Group to
reach out to more men in
your community, spreading
information and awareness
about prostate cancer.
The awareness and sup-
port group, which contin-
ues to meet every third
Thursday of the month
since 1997, is an informal
get-together, where real
men share real stories
about their experiences
with prostate cancer. The
meetings are open to any-
one who is interested, and
there is no expectation of
commitment.
Men, and even their fam-
ilies, can come once, twice,
or every month for as long
as they would like.
The members of the
group do not treat, diag-
nose, judge or advise. But,
they do have a lot of in-
formation and even more
personal stories to help
men and their families gain
insight into the different
types of treatments and
approaches. Anyone inter-
ested in more information
about the group can con-
tact Bert at 403-343-3808 or
Bill at 403-342-0694.

Magnifi cent performance from Blanchett

C R Y D E R M A N
Concert to help fund prostate cancer research
Blue JasmineSony PicturesRating: PG 98 minutes
Fans of Woody Allen
and Cate Blanchett might
want to hurry down to
Carnival Cinemas to catch
Blue Jasmine, because it’s
not the sort of movie that
stays long in Red Deer. It’s
been out since August, so
thanks to Carnival for fi -
nally letting us see it on
the big screen.
The same comments ap-
ply for Enough Said.
This is dramatic Allen
rather than comedy with a
magnifi cent performance
by Cate Blanchett as a
woman coming undone.
There is lots of Oscar buzz
about her role already.
Her husband (Alec Bald-
win) is a ruined con man
and she’s lost the luxury
house, jewels, travel and
lifestyle to which she’d be-
come accustomed.
Penniless, she is forced
to move in with her work-
ing class sister (Sally
Hawkins) in San Francis-
co.
She tries to get her life
back on track, taking a job
as a dentist’s receptionist
and a computer course
with the idea of becoming
an interior decorator. She
even fi nds a man (Peter
Skarsgaard) who might
restore her to a life of
luxury.
But she can’t keep it to-
gether long enough and it
is a shattering depiction
of a sometimes aware, at-
tractive woman coming
apart.
There is also an excel-
lent supporting cast with
Bobby Carnnavale as
Hawkin’s boyfriend and
even Andrew Dice Clay as
her ex-husband, who lost
all their money to Bald-
win’s ponzi schemes.
This is serious Allen ter-
ritory, and probably not as
enjoyable as his comedies,
but it’s still well worth a
look.

BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
Canadian country singer
Deric Ruttan has a few big
reasons to celebrate these
days. The popular artist
just released his latest CD
last week Take the Week
Off, and it’s packed with
a slate of potential radio-
friendly hits.
He’s also on the road
with artists Chad Brownlee
and Jason Blaine for the
‘Your Town Throwdown’
tour, with a stop in Red
Deer Nov. 9 at the Cowboys
Bar & Nightclub.
So the CD’s release and
the tour, which kicked off
in Prince Edward Island
last week and wraps up in
Vancouver in mid-Novem-
ber, comes at a perfect time
for Ruttan, who is based in
Nashville these days. It’s a
time to reconnect with his
homeland, catch up with
friends and family and in-
troduce new tunes to his
growing following.
Ruttan has a keen abil-
ity for capturing the people
and places that populate
his songs so listeners can
see them in their mind’s
eye.
In part, that’s a product
of his earliest musical in-
fl uences – Gordon Light-
foot, rock artists CCR and
Bruce Springsteen, and
crossover country stars
like Steve Earle. “I’ve al-
ways been drawn to songs
that paint pictures in your
mind as you’re listening.
It’s something I’ve always
tried to do as a songwriter.”
Over time, Ruttan’s abili-
ty to paint such lyrical por-
traits has led to opportuni-
ties to write with a growing
list of his peers includ-
ing Aaron Pritchett, Eric
Church, Doc Walker and
Dierks Bentley. His suc-
cess as a recording artist
garnered him a Juno nomi-
nation for Best Country Re-
cord in 2010 for Sunshine,
as well as multiple nomina-
tions for the 2011 Canadian
Country Music Awards, in-
cluding Male Artist, Song-
writer, Single and Video of
the Year for That’s How I
Want To Go Out.
In addition, Sunshine’s
lead single, Up All Night
was the most-played Cana-
dian country single of 2010.
As for the current tour,
he was immediately inter-
ested in teaming up with
Brownlee and Blaine. A
couple of years back, he hit
the road with Dean Brody
and Aaron Lines for the
2011 CMT Hitlist Tour. “I
really enjoyed the package
tour concept, and the ca-
maraderie that comes with
sharing a bus and sharing
a stage and taking a show
like that on the road,” he
explains.
For the Throwdown
tour, all three guys have
the same booking agent,
so the tour came together
smoothly. “The energy of
our music is similar, and
I’ve know Jason for eight
or nine years. We all know
each other pretty well. And
if last night (the tour’s fi rst
show) is any indication, I
think we are going to have
a really fun time.
“The reason we called
it the Your Town Throw
Down is because we are all
from different places. As
we roll across Canada, it’s
not about where we come
from, it’s about your town.
We’re asking people to
bring the party to us, so to
speak. We’re trying to keep
the focus on the energy,
and have as good a time as
we can. I’m also so excited
to get back to Alberta to
play – it’s one of my favou-
rite places to play country
music.”
For Ruttan, a knack for
songwriting was sparked
early.
“When I was 12 years old,
I got my fi rst guitar and
pretty much immediately I
started writing songs. Be-
fore I even got a guitar, my
cousin and I wrote a song
in an old fi shing hut his
dad had sitting in a fi eld by
their house. In the summer,
that was our fort. We’d sit
there and write songs – of
course they were terrible,”
he adds with a laugh. But
still, the interest – and the
ability – grew from there.
He won a national song-
writing contest in high
school via a teacher’s en-
couragement.
As the years unfolded, he
kept writing, formed a few
bands and then in 1994 he
headed down to Nashville
to try his luck at breaking
into the business.
“About a year and a half
in, I got a publishing deal
writing for a company.
Nineteen years later, I’ve
had three publishing deals
and spent 15 of the 19 years
I’ve spent in Nashville writ-
ing for different publishing
companies. It didn’t come
quickly. I was in town for
about seven years before I
had anyone record one of
my songs, and nine years
before I heard one of my
songs on the radio.”
That was What Was I
Thinkin’ by Dierks Bent-
ley. Perseverance indeed
pays off. Superstar Blake
Shelton included a co-write
with Ruttan called Mine
Would Be You on his latest
disc as well. That tune hap-
pened to be number one in
Canada as of last week.
Ruttan’s latest project
certainly mirrors his con-
tinued growth as a prolifi c
writer, singer and artist on
so many levels. Although
Take the Week Off didn’t
start out with a particular
vision. “Basically when I
begin to make a record, I
look back and look at all
the songs I’ve written over
that period of time and I try
to pull the best ones out.
“I try and think of my
fans, and also think of it
from an ‘onstage’ perspec-
tive. You learn lessons
from the stage – what fans
respond to and what they
don’t.”

I’ve just sent an e-mail to
my children urging them to
watch an informative video
and telling them to never
forget what they’ve seen.
The video was produced
in New Zealand for 60 Min-
utes. It demonstrates the
incompetence and arro-
gance of some physicians. A
man’s life was at stake and
close to ending. But fortu-
nately, his son knew more
than his doctors.
Allan Smith, a 57-year-
old New Zealand farmer,
was stricken with a form of
the swine fl u virus. He was
desperately ill, unconscious
and near death. His doc-
tors wanted to remove life-
support technology. But his
son refused. He pleaded that
his father be given large
amounts of intravenous Vi-
tamin C. The doctors were
reluctant, but agreed only
after the family brought in
their attorney.
The video shows X-rays of
Smith’s clogged lungs clear-
ing after receiving Vitamin
C. He gained consciousness
and recovered. One would
have thought that Smith’s
escape from the jaws of
death would have made an
imprint on the minds of
his physicians. But it never
penetrated their skulls.
One doctor argued the
prescribed drugs worked,
when they had obviously
failed. Nor could he defend
the fact the doctors were
about to let Smith die.
He was unaware that in
1950 Dr. Frederick Klenner,
a North Carolina doctor,
proved high doses of intra-
venous Vitamin C could
cure polio, measles, en-
cephalitis and other viral
diseases.
For the last couple of
years I’ve written about Me-
di-C Plus, a powder contain-
ing high doses of Vitamin
C and lysine. This vitamin
has shown it can prevent,
but also reverse, atheroscle-
rosis blockage in coronary
arteries and prevent heart
attack and stroke.
Two-time Nobel Prize
winner Linus Pauling ex-
plained years ago animals
make Vitamin C and hu-
mans do not. Vitamin C
manufactures collagen, the
glue that holds coronary
cells together, and a lack of
it triggers heart attacks.
Now, Dr. Sydney Bush,
an English researcher, has
proven by arterial photo-
graphs this combination
restores blocked vessels to
normal. Photos don’t lie.
So what has happened
with this scientifi c fi nding?
It continues to collect dust,
while cardiologists who
should know better contin-
ue to ignore this revolution-
ary discovery. So do distin-
guished medical journals.
For instance, I have asked
the Editors of the Canadian
Medical Association Jour-
nal to release this informa-
tion to Canadian doctors.
But my request goes unan-
swered.
What happened in New
Zealand is happening here.
But new ideas in medicine
have always found deaf
ears. Today doctors have
been so brainwashed by
pharmaceutical dollars
they blindly accept that
cholesterol-lowering drugs
are the be-all-and-end-all to
prevent heart attacks.
They turn a blind eye to
an inexpensive, safe and ef-
fective remedy like Medi-C
Plus to eliminate coronary
attack, stroke and other car-
diovascular problems.
I’ve been subjected before
to criticism when tackling
controversial issues. But in
recent months I’ve visited
several parts of Canada,
talking about this discov-
ery. I’ve written about Me-
di-C Plus in my column and
been on radio and TV. But,
unlike other issues, no doc-
tor has challenged this re-
search! The fact is it cannot
be challenged.

With Halloween coming
up there are many factors
to consider as a parent, and
although I have a few years
to go before my little guy
goes out - it does make me
think.
Last year I wrote an arti-
cle about whether or not to
have all that candy at once,
or spread it out.
You can still read it here:
h t t p : / / w w w. p e r s o n -
a l t r a i n e r s y l v a n l a k e .
com/?p=1403.
We just fi nished holding
our second annual Zombie
Run here in Sylvan Lake, as
a fundraiser for local high
school teams.
We had a lot of kids out
as zombies and they had so
much fun running around
scaring the runners. We
ordered pizza and drinks
for the volunteers and one
thing that struck me this
year was how fast we ran
out of food and had to or-
der more.
We ordered enough pizza
for 240 people.
We had 200 volunteers,
and we ran out of food.
Why?
Fresh air and exercise
- those kids were running
around for all they were
worth, for nearly four
hours, and they got hungry.
For Halloween I see lots
of parents now that drive
their kids house to house,
and I fi nd that sad.
When I was a kid - we
walked all night until our
pillowcase was full, and
sometimes we came home,
emptied it and went out
again.
From a nutrition stand-
point - not great, but from
an exercise point of view -
fantastic!
I know that things have
changed they say, and that
we need to be cautious and
things were safer back 30
years ago, but still, I say let
‘em walk! In fact, I love to
see the parents that walk
with them.
Sure, all that sugar and
junk food isn’t great, but it
is fun, and it is part of be-
ing a kid in my opinion, and
if you make the kids (and
parents) walk several kms,
at least they are burning
fuel, and less likely to be
overweight in life.
Thirty one per cent of
Canadians aged fi ve to 17
are overweight or obese,
Statistics Canada found
in the latest studies, as re-
ported on CBC. Reading
that, one could be tempted
to cancel Halloween, but I
think that would be a mis-
take.
I think that teaching kids
about proper nutrition on a
regular basis, and that once
in a while, we indulge - cre-
ates a life of balance.
Back 50 years ago, kids
only got sugary junk food
for the big events - Christ-
mas, Easter, your birthday
and Halloween.
That isn’t going to ruin
anybody, but our problem
is multiple layers now.
Junk food is everywhere,
sugar can be eaten every
day without limits, and in-
stead of exercising all the
time, we have improved
school bus service.
We drive everywhere and
watch TV, computer or tab-
let screens all day.
We need to move our
bodies - and so I vote that
we have a great Halloween,
and that we all walk as far
as we can to earn that can-
dy.
Then have a day or so
to eat it, toss the rest out,
and eat healthy food until
Christmas.

SPORTSBY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express
His resume speaks volumes
about what he brings to the court
as a coach but Ben Julius has
more to offer the Olds Broncos
men’s basketball program than
a line on the page which shows a
stint in the NBA.
He worked as a video coach for
the Orlando Magic and says that
allowed him some insight into
what coaches at that level of the
game are thinking.
“Being in coaches’ meetings,
just kind of being a sponge and
soaking in everything they said
allowed me to formulate a really
strong philosophy built on hard
work and execution,” he said.
He also will draw upon that
professional experience from a
tactical standpoint when it comes
to game planning for the teams in
the ACAC.
“Basketball is basketball and
x’s and o’s are x’s and o’s and
teaching the game is teaching the
game and so I take from my ex-
perience there to be able to deal
with an elite athlete from a men-
tal standpoint.”
Julius spent one year with
NAIT and two with Medicine Hat
College where he turned around
that program, getting the school
ranked in basketball for the fi rst
time ever after only two years so
he is no stranger to the league or
to success.
“I know how to get guys play-
ing the way they should be play-
ing for this league so we’re excit-
ed to get going.”
He is in his fi rst year as the
Broncos’ head coach and has seen
this team play in a couple of exhi-
bition tournaments to this point
as they prepare for the start of
the ACAC season.
“There’s been a lot of matura-
tion and a lot of learning in those
games and we get better every
quarter of every game which is
always nice to see.”
One player the coach will rely
upon during the season is vet-
eran power forward Colton Short
whom the coach feels has the
ability to be one of the top players
in the league.
“It’s very exciting to watch him
play as he’s got many talents on
the fl oor,” he said.
Julius takes over a team which
posted just fi ve wins last season
but he feels there is talent on this
team which can take it to another
level which in his view would be a
spot in the postseason.
“I think that’s a goal that we
have. I’m not sure how many
wins that’s going to take but if
we can get better from game to
game, from quarter to quarter,
from practice to practice then to
me that’s a successful season,”
he said “If we can come out and
compete at a high level every
game then I will be happy.”
Julius says all this depends on
the effort his team gives during
those games as he believes they
won’t be blowing any teams out
this year but he honestly feels the
Broncos will outwork their op-
ponent each night to get the wins
needed for a playoff appearance.
“I’m hoping teams are already
counting us out.
“I want to go into other teams’
gyms and I want them to already
count the ‘W’ on their calendar
and come in there and we shock
them.”’

It’s been an up and down season for
the curling teams at Red Deer College
and the season essentially hasn’t even
started.
In fact, there was a point back in May
where the curling program at RDC was
not going to hit the ice at all due to a fi -
nancial issue but the money was found
through the Athletic Leadership Fund.
“They told us if we could fi nd money
to put into that for curling we would be
allowed to continue with the curling
team,” said head coach Brad Hamilton.
“Right now it’s (funding ) that is kind of
a yearly thing. We found some outside
money that, a person who wishes to re-
main anonymous, they committed to this
year and said they’d look at it on a year-
to-year basis.”
The program will have a somewhat dif-
ferent look in spite of a very encouraging
introduction meeting earlier this year
where 18 women and 11 men showed up
but at this point with tryouts underway
there are only fi ve men and eight ladies
so the college will ice a men’s and ladies’
team but no mixed squad this year, he
said.
Hamilton added the number drop off
wasn’t from anyone being cut but more
to the point of students realizing the
commitment to the sport, school work
and a job.
This past weekend at the Pidherney
Centre in Red Deer the college sent
three teams to take part in the Elks Ju-
nior Curling Bonspiel where the players
would try to earn a spot on the teams and
get to know each other before heading
into the ACAC season.
“We haven’t totally decided who is
skipping the men’s team this year so
we had two guys skipping two different
teams this weekend.”
There are only three returnees to the
curling teams this year.
Jeff Ireland who was the mixed team’s
lead last season along with women’s
team veterans Kaitlyn Sherrer and Julie
Primrose.
Hamilton feels there is some very good
talent to choose from on the women’s
side of the group, expecting there will
be no problem fi elding a strong team and
there are four very good players taking
to the ice for men’s team as well, he said.
“The men are going to have a learning
curve and the women with the skip and
third back should be right in the mix this
year,” he said about the college’s chances
in the very competitive ACAC league.

Robert Gordon Orr.
The name itself reeks of hockey royalty
and conjures up images of end to end rush-
es, pinpoint passes, bull’s eye slapshots and
the most famous knees in all of hockey.
He is also one of the most respected ath-
letes in professional sport and carries as
much weight in the private sector as he did
when playing for the Boston Bruins.
When the debate about who is the best to
play the game is based on statistics alone
Orr is always at or near the top with Gordie
Howe, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
When you fi gure in the fact he was a de-
fenceman playing 657 games, tallying 915
points with 270 of those being goals Bobby
Orr is right there.
Now factor in six straight seasons with
100 points or more, one season with 46
goals, another with 139 overall points and
Orr inches closer to the top rung of that
ladder.
The ace card for this debate is what Orr
has done off the ice and I’m not talking
about the charity aspect because all the
others in the argument do plenty to help
their causes. I’m talking about when Orr
talks about the game itself and it’s right
then when people sit-up, take notice and
really hear from someone who has no hid-
den agenda about the sport which gave
him everything and also took it away in
some respects (see Mr. Alan Eagleson).
Orr recently had a one-on-one with
the People’s Network anchor Peter Man-
sbridge and laid out a couple of points
as smoothly as he would send a pass to a
teammate.
It was never about how the game was
“better” back when he played or this ver-
sion of hockey is inferior because of the
paycheques. He spoke about the fabric of
the game when it comes to what hockey at
any level should be about.
Fun. He has just released a book on his
life and for a very private man to expose
himself to the armchair critics out there it
was a brave move but not surprising for a
man of his strength.
If you have a chance look for the inter-
view with Mansbridge and grab a copy of
the book.

HOMES & LIVING
There is a lot of branding out there.
Companies and people strive to show us
who they are on a daily basis. I fi nd it very
interesting that there are more and more
‘brands’ on people’s vehicles, on facebook
and in their personal attire. People want
us to know who they are, they fervently
display their stick fi gure kids and pets and
support of brand names and logos.
Unless you are in the design business,
it is extremely diffi cult to know what the
go-to or cool name brand is in furniture
fabric and fl ooring. It’s easy to see that
driving a Lexus is cooler than driving a
Kia and that carrying a Prada bag will get
you more reaction than a no name purse
but what about name branding in home
design? Many manufacturers have tried
but I haven’t seen lasting success in name
branding. Years ago Liz Claiborne added
her name to an exclusive line of carpets
which only lasted a few seasons. One cli-
ent said to me “If I’m paying for a designer
carpet, the logo should be on the top not
the backing.”
The key to successful branding I believe
is the notoriety of the brand. People recog-
nize colours and shapes of logos long before
they even read the fi ne print. How many of
us can spot a Mercedes from dozens of feet
away just by the universally recognized
logo? This is not as easily recognized in
home design and even though designers
like Nate Berkus and Brian Gluckstein
have successfully marketed home interior
products, you still may not recognize the
items when they are present in some ones
home. What is a homeowner to do? With-
out recognizable designer brands, how do
you make your interior distinctive and the
coolest it can be? Most people cannot tell
the difference between a $5 hardwood and
a $10 hardwood and frankly, many people
do not care. If the colour and style is appro-
priate then the manufacturer (or brand)
does not seem to matter. This can be diffi -
cult for those of us selling higher end prod-
ucts, it is hard to show people the value in
products which seem to have no branding
if branding that doesn’t matter.
The trick to fi nding the right brand in in-
terior home design is to research warran-
ties and make decisions on which product
fi ts your lifestyle. Is Canadian manufactur-
ing important to you? How about fair trade
and decent wages for overseas workers? It
may not be about branding or recognizable
logos but to have a product in your home
that makes you proud is very important.
How and where a product is manufactured
is as important as the brand it is labeled
with, just as it is important to know where
your food is grown and fl own from.
You won’t be bragging to your friends
‘come and see my new Mirage hardwood
fl oor’ anytime soon. You are more likely to
invite friends to come and see your beau-
tiful charcoal grey fl oors – but maybe you
can have a hardwood with a Canadian sto-
ry or a carpet that was grown by an ador-
able New Zealand sheep farmer. That sort
of branding tells a better and more com-
pelling story and weaves into the complete
fabric of your home far better than any
logo or name brand.

T U R C O T T E
Selling your current
home and moving into a
new one can be stressful
enough, let alone worrying
about your current mort-
gage and whether you’re
able to carry it over to your
new home.
Porting enables you to
move to another property
without having to lose your
existing interest rate, mort-
gage balance and term.
And, better yet, the abil-
ity to port also saves you
money by avoiding early
discharge penalties.
It’s important to note,
however, that not all mort-
gages are portable. When
it comes to fi xed-rate
mortgage products, you
usually have a portability
option. Lenders often use
a “blended” system where
your current mortgage
rate stays the same on the
mortgage amount ported
over to the new property
and the new balance is cal-
culated using the current
interest rate.
With variable-rate mort-
gages, on the other hand,
porting is usually not avail-
able. As such, upon break-
ing your existing mortgage,
a three-month interest pen-
alty will be charged. This
charge may or may not be
reimbursed with your new
mortgage.
Another important fac-
tor is, will you qualify with
that lender and the mort-
gage insurer again. For
example, if you’ve been do-
ing the same type of posi-
tion for many consecutive
years, and then become
self-employed doing the
same thing it doesn’t mean
that you’ll qualify easily.
There are instances where
exceptions can be made,
but that all depends on the
lenders’ guidelines. Most
often these are questions
that cannot be answered
without full documenta-
tion upfront. To make it
less stressful, be prepared
and organized with your
mortgage professionals’ re-
quests.
While porting typically
ensures no penalty will be
charged when you sell your
existing property and buy a
new one, some conditions
that may apply include:
Some lenders allow you
to port your mortgage, but
your sale and purchase
have to happen on the same
day. Other lenders offer
a week to do this, some a
month, and others up to
three months.
Some lenders don’t allow
a changed term or force
you into a longer term as
part of agreeing to port
your mortgage.
Some lenders will, in
fact, reimburse your entire
penalty whether you’re a
fi xed or variable borrower
if you simply get a new
mortgage with the same
lender replacing the one
being discharged. Addi-
tionally, some lenders will
even allow you to move into
a brand new term of your
choice and start fresh.
There are instances
where it’s better to pay a
penalty at the time of sell-
ing and get into a new term
at a brand new rate that
could save back your pen-
alty over the course of the
new term.
As always, if you have
any questions about mort-
gage portability or your
mortgage in general, I’m
here to help!

The ins and outs of porting your mortgage
Many workplaces are
opting out of the tradition-
al space in lieu of remote,
home-based offi ces.
There are many reasons
for this, but some employ-
ers look at it as a tremen-
dous cost saving that also
results in a happy and pro-
ductive workforce. Wheth-
er you are one of those
lucky work-from-home
folks or if you run your
own business, here are a
few little quick tips to make
sure your workspace leads
you to success.
The comfort of your own
home can lend a more ca-
sual environment, but it’s
imperative to hold up a
professional appearance
when working from home.
Background noise when on
a conference call or virtual
meeting is not acceptable.
Having a designated work
space that is separate from
your home space will help
to balance work and your
personal life. Soundproof-
ing, as well, is an excellent
solution, especially if you
need to tune out a barking
dog or squealing children.
Sound dampening is be-
coming a requirement for
modern families, so if you
have the opportunity to re-
insulate your home or of-
fi ce space, sound-proofi ng
insulation is an excellent
choice. Stone wool insula-
tion, for example, is a top
choice for professional re-
cording studios. This mate-
rial is an excellent acoustic
barrier that actually ab-
sorbs the sound. For ho-
meowners, retailers point
to a performance tested
product called Roxul Safe
‘n’ Sound mineral wool in-
sulation. It provides higher
sound absorption against
low frequency (bass) rang-
es that other types of insu-
lation struggle to block.
Investing in the right
home offi ce equipment is
another key to success.
Consider your offi ce needs
when purchasing equip-
ment. Don’t get caught up
in the décor, but focus on
the functionality.
A good desk with ade-
quate storage is necessary,
as well as a separate phone
system (from your home)
and updated computer
equipment and software.
Ensure you have every-
thing you would have in a
business offi ce.
Establishing offi ce hours
will help to keep you on
track. Setting boundaries
so family and friends don’t
interrupt you will keep you
on point and productive.
But don’t forget to network.
Working from home can
be isolating, so make sure
you make time to meet
face-to-face with colleagues
or clients. This balance will
make the whole “working
from home” a rewarding
experience.
