It was a short trip, but visitors to La-
combe have made fond memories here.
On the night of Sept. 23rd, the Lacombe
and District Rikubetsu Friendship Society
held a farewell potluck for the students
and chaperones from Lacombe’s twin com-
munity of Rikubetsu, Japan.
The delegation from Rikubetsu arrived
in Lacombe on Sept. 20th and left early the
morning of Sept. 24th.
While the trip was very short, both the
visitors and the families who hosted them
will have long-lasting memories of the
visit.
Among them is Twyla Dutz, who decided
to host two of the Japanese visitors be-
cause of a special place Japan has in her
heart.
Dutz said that she and her husband actu-
ally lived in Japan for a few years shortly
after they were married in a community
not far from Rikubetsu. After learning
about the annual visit from Rikubetsu
from a friend who had hosted previously,
Dutz signed up to be a host family as well.
Because Dutz had lived in Japan, host-
ing the Japanese visitors was very special
to her.
She described the experience as “natsu-
kashi” a Japanese word meaning a fond
remembrance, what Canadians might call
nostalgia.
“What I loved is just having Japan
(come) back to me,” said Dutz. “Because
we were there and our hearts have always
had Japan in them.”
Thirteen-year-old Rin Kambayashi, one
of the students who stayed with Dutz, said
that she wanted to come to Canada to study
a different culture. She said that when she
fi rst arrived, the generosity and friendli-
ness of Canadians took her a little bit by
surprise.
“Canadian people are so kind,” said
Kambayashi through an interpreter.
Yuko Sugawara, who served as inter-
preter for the delegation, actually visits
Canada fairly often in her job as a tour es-
cort.
She is actually returning to Canada with
another group next month and had visited
Lacombe in the past as well, serving as
interpreter for last year’s delegation too.
Sugawara said she was happy to return.
“I had very good experiences (last time I
visited),” she said.
During their visit, the Rikubetsu delega-
tion did many things as a group, like tour-
ing Lacombe and visiting the Royal Tyrell
Museum outside Drumheller, but they also
made time for fun and bonding with their
host families.
Dutz said she and Kambayashi visited
Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, went out
for sushi, played mini-golf and of course,
did some souvenir shopping.
When the delegation toured around La-
combe, one of the places that stuck out for
Kambayashi was the group’s visit to the
Lacombe YU-Turn Centre.
She said that such hang-outs don’t exist
in her home.
“We don’t have that kind of place in Ja-
pan,” said Kambayashi, speaking through
Sugawara.
Kambayashi said she very much enjoyed
staying with her host family and her favou-
rite activities with them including going
luging at Canada Olympic Park and driv-
ing Dutz’s side-by-side quad.
She added that she now knows a little bit
more about a different culture and has cre-
ated a bond with her host family, making
her trip a very worthwhile experience.
Cultural exchanges could be said to be
the whole point of the annual visit from
Rikubetsu.
Dutz said that this can go a long way
to promoting tolerance and acceptance,
something there isn’t always enough of in
the world today.
“I think if we live in a culture where we
don’t experience other cultures, what’s the
point?” said Dutz.
Sugawara agreed, saying that is es-
pecially important for children to learn
about other cultures while they are young
and impressionable.
“It is important to experience other cul-
tures, especially at an age like this,” said
Sugawara gesturing to Kambayashi.
Kambayashi also attempted to bring
some of her own culture with her to share
with her host family in Lacombe.
She said she brought chopsticks to use
with her host family and taught them some
origami. Dutz added that they all even
tried their hand at cooking some Japanese
dishes together.
At the farewell supper, there was a
short program where representatives of
Lacombe made speeches and exchanged
some gifts with the delegation.
Among the gifts presented to the visitors
were personalized Lacombe hockey jerseys,
one for each member of the delegation.
STRONG BONDS - Yuko Sugawara, Rin Kambayashi and Twyla Dutz pose for a photo after the farewell banquet for the 2014 Rikubetsu delegation visit. The visitors from Japan said they would return home with fond memories of Lacombe and the bonds with their host families.

NOVA Chemicals has been
working on an expansion project
of their polyethylene plant in Jof-
fre since it broke ground almost
one and a half years ago, with
big portions of the project taking
shape.
The $1 billion project includes
a world-scale reactor, the third on
the site. During the polyethylene
reactor project (PE1 Expansion
Project), a second task of upgrad-
ing existing furnace structures
will take place.
All of the work being done at
Joffre will raise the site’s produc-
tion of polyethylene (a common
form of plastic polymer used in
water bottles, plastic bags, etc.)
and will do so without substan-
tially increasing the plant’s eco-
logical footprint, staff say.
“For all of our expansion-type
projects, we certainly do all of
our predictions on what might
happen to our various emission
sources and water needs and
things like that for the site,” said
Joffre Site Manager Rick Van
Hemmen.
“From an environmental per-
spective, especially when you
talk about a modifi cation to our
polyethylene facilities, it really is
a very modest change to our en-
vironmental footprint for the site.
We’re really basing this growth
on existing capacity in our ethyl-
ene plants on the site.”
Van Hemmen explained NO-
VA’s expansion of the polyethyl-
ene reactor site (PE1 project) will
keep things such as their long-
term water usage and gaseous
emission predictions still well
within a previously designated
limit that has been approved by
Alberta Environment and Sus-
tainable Resource Development.
He explained although there
will be a small increase in air
emissions and water usage, the
work done to re-model furnaces
and to input a highly energy ef-
fi cient PE1 reactor will, “Have no
adverse effects that will affect our
land boundary or the Red Deer
River.”
The work done with the PE1
expansion on the Joffre site has
undergone environmental moni-
toring and will continue to do so.
Van Hemmen said that NOVA is,
“Looking at wherever (they) can
to fi nd the best commercially
available technology and miti-
gate any potential environmen-
tal effects. We have built into our
site monitoring programs, long-
term programs – air monitoring
equipment at various locations
throughout the site and we really
will continue to make sure that
we’re staying well within our en-
vironmental restrictions.
“We stay very plugged into our
surrounding communities. For
one thing, so they can under-
stand the things we’ve tried to do
as proactively as possible but also
to get their insights and inputs,”
he said. “They might be con-
cerned at what they’re seeing as
the projects go on, but we have a
constant back and forth with our
community members.”
So far, the facilities have seen
the completion of underground
piping, the development of me-
chanical and electrical instal-
lations and currently, a focus
on the installation of concrete
foundations for the third reactor
which was successfully delivered
to the site earlier this year.
At the completion of this proj-
ect in 2016, NOVA expects to see
the creation of between 25-35 per-
manent jobs, signifi cant econom-
ic benefi ts due to more effi cient
reactor sites and furnaces and a
capital cost just over $1 billion -
most of which is being spent on
Alberta labour costs and product
purchasing done in Alberta.
“In order to allow the expan-
sion of PE1 to operate at its full
capacity, E1 and E2 will have to
come up to 100 per cent rates and
run there continuously in the fu-
ture. But it turns out our E2 plant
had some very signifi cant main-
tenance requirements in our fur-
nace area. Those furnaces in E2
were built back in 1984 and some
portions of that furnace are going
to need to be cut out and replaced
because they are at the end of life.
“This was an opportunity for
us for furnace refurbishment to
bring our furnace capacity and
our technology up. We also are
doing this in a way that allows
us to implement energy effi cient
improvements and so these are
important upgrades for us. It’s
typically in expansion projects or
major capital upgrades that we
have the opportunity to do these
types of upgrades.”
The portions of the furnaces
that need to be replaced are in a
section that is designed to recov-
er as much residual heat out of
the furnace as possible, making
it less wasteful. As these convec-
tion sections are being replaced,
the burners in the furnaces will
also see work to become what is
called ‘low-NOx burners’, said
Van Hemmen.
This means that less of the
various oxides of nitrogen will
be released into the environment
during the combustion process
of the furnaces. These oxides are
air pollutants that help form acid
rain, contribute to global warm-
ing and impede the growth of
plant life.
In addition to the project’s fo-
cus on effi cient production stan-
dards, sustainability has been
a focus of NOVA Chemicals. As
the PE1 Expansion Project moves
along, so will the PE1 Expansion
Legacy Project which is the pro-
active development of several
wetland areas surrounding the
Joffre site.
“We have a very strong re-
focus on sustainability within
NOVA Chemicals over the last
couple of years. We are a respon-
sible care company and we have
been for almost 30 years now.
That’s really about going above
and beyond meeting regulatory
standards, and always taking on
continuous improvements. The
whole responsible care initiative
has added sustainability as a big-
ger subset of its requirements for
people that are members of the
Chemistry Industry Association
of Canada.”
The purpose of the legacy proj-
ect is to create a trail system that
incorporates picnic areas, refor-
estation initiatives and to support
municipal and provincial initia-
tives to preserve and enhance
wetland areas.
The PE1 Expansion Project is
set to be complete with start-up
occurring in the summer of 2016.

Another local link to the
Trans Canada Trail has
been completed.
On Sept. 19th, trail lovers
and dignitaries gathered
at the Abbey Centre to of-
fi cially open the latest link
of the Trans Canada Trail
at the Abbey Centre in
Blackfalds, the only indoor
link of the nation-wide trail
in the country.
This new link completes
the trails connecting Black-
falds to Lacombe and Red
Deer and as former Cen-
tral Alberta Regional Trail
Society (CARTS) President
Debbie Olsen commented,
will eventually connect to
the entire nation.
“Eventually, it will con-
nect Central Albertans
with the rest of the country
as well,” said Olsen. “So it
really is an exciting thing.”
Current CARTS Presi-
dent Paul Pettypiece
agreed.
“It is indeed a pleasure
to be here today to see this
exciting development come
to fruition and have this
grand opening,” said Pet-
typiece.
In addition to Olsen and
Pettypiece, several other
dignitaries made addresses
at the opening, including
MLA Rod Fox, Lacombe
Mayor Steve Christie, La-
combe County Reeve Paula
Law and of course Black-
falds Mayor Melodie Stol.
Many of the speakers
commented on the unique-
ness of the trail with Fox
commenting that the in-
door link was the only one
in the country.
Other speakers, like Law
commented on the strong
partnerships that made the
trail link a reality.
“This connectivity high-
lights how much each com-
munity works together
with its neighbours to
develop one continuous
trail,” said Law. “Lacombe
County is proud to be a
neighbour of Blackfalds
and this trail is one ex-
ample of our continuous
partnership of working
together to achieve a com-
mon goal.”
Christie had similar feel-
ings to express. “This trail
supplies and provides yet
another connection be-
tween our communities
that regional collaboration
is alive and well right here
in Central Alberta.”
During Stol’s address,
she revealed that a sponsor
for the Trans Canada Trail
link at the Abbey Centre
had been found with Krest
Homes stepping up to do-
nate $100,000 to the Town
of Blackfalds.
“I get to announce some-
thing very special today,”
said Stol. “I’m just so
thrilled today to announce
that sponsorship has come
forward.”
After the speeches there
was a ribbon cutting cer-
emony where the trail was
declared offi cially open fol-
lowed by a cake cutting and
celebratory luncheon.
Following the formal
program, Law, Christie and
Stol continued to speak of
how important regional
partnerships and collabo-
ration were to the comple-
tion of this project.
“I don’t think you can do
anything like this on your
own,” said Stol.
Law agreed. “You know,
we can all choose to do
things individually,” said
Law. “But we can do big-
ger and better and greater
things if we choose to work
with partnership and coop-
eration and this is a prime
example of it.”
Christie said what’s also
important is recognition of
the user-ship and the ad-
vantages of having some-
thing like this in their com-
munities.
“User-ship from not only
our own communities but
bringing people from other
communities into our re-
gion is very, very impor-
tant to us so if we can work
together to make that hap-
pen it just works out great.”

Domestic violence is more than
bruises – it is a psychological battle
between fear, love, confusion and
self-awareness.
There are so many aspects to
abuse that people simply do not un-
derstand until they are in that situ-
ation themselves or see the cycle
develop with a loved one.
Domestic violence isn’t just
about beatings or yelling – it is
about being broken down as a per-
son and being convinced you are
worth nothing more than some-
one’s anger.
There is no answer to why people
abuse others or as to why victims
stay or leave their abusers. The
many factors that infl uence the
relationship between abuser and
abused include fear, love, money,
family and all sorts of other fac-
tors.
It is diffi cult to know where to
start this discussion, so I’ll start at
the beginning of a cycle of abuse.
When a person is living in a cycle
of abuse, it does not begin with
bruises. It begins with a relation-
ship – either a friendship, or most
commonly a romance. Somehow,
one person gives their trust to an-
other.
Next there is an initial incident.
Maybe it starts off as an argument
and ends in a physical fi ght. Maybe
it starts with a manipulative com-
ment that insults a person’s beliefs
or values or self-worth.
After that initial moment that
makes a person say ‘Woah, what
was that?’ there is manipulation
from the abuser. They say sorry
and beg for forgiveness. Some-
times, they say nothing at all, in
a way to manipulate people into
thinking they deserved it (which
nobody ever, ever does).
This is how a cycle develops.
There is a trust and a relationship
that keeps people together. Some-
times men and women are ‘so in
love that it hurts’ and they just
can’t imagine that their loved one
could hurt them again. People will
make excuses such as the abuser
had a bad day and they didn’t mean
the things they said, or he’s always
had a temper or she’s always been
controlling – it’s just their person-
ality.
So many thoughts occur to a per-
son before they consider the fact
that this person they trust is abu-
sive. Throughout a cycle of abuse,
a person will start to see signs and
patterns and triggers.
Abusers will often try to isolate
their victim from friends, fam-
ily, community supports and from
their own self-confi dence. People
who stay in abusive relationships
are not stupid, or weak or deserv-
ing. They are afraid and often times
have to think of all kinds of aspects
and consequences for leaving.
Factors such as fi nance and shel-
ter can affect a person’s decision
to leave – which, by the way, does
not ensure the abuse stops. Lots of
times, that makes the abuser an-
grier. Children can be another ma-
jor reason for a person staying in
an abusive relationship, especially
if the children are related biologi-
cally to both people in the rela-
tionship. Having kids can be scary
because there is an entire world
of fi nancial obligations that come
with a child and most do not want
to be a single parent.
If you see someone in a cycle of
abuse, the worst thing you can do is
say, ‘Well just be brave and leave.’
I’m sure that a victim would love
to pack up their life and never look
back but it isn’t always so simple.
The best thing to do in a situa-
tion where one recognizes a cycle
of abuse is to ask how you can help
that person. Maybe a lunch meet-
ing once or twice a week can help
them gain confi dence, or expand
their now-minimal contact with
people outside of the relationship.
Maybe you can help them print re-
sumes to apply for a job that will
allow them to become fi nancially
stable.
Maybe all they need is to talk
out their plan. There are so many
aspects to leaving an abusive rela-
tionship to consider – important
documents from the home, where
will they live? Where will they
work? How can they afford child-
care?
The other side of abuse is that
sometimes it comes from family
members – siblings, cousins, par-
ents, what have you. Imagine what
it would be like to be afraid of your
family. Leaving is not an easy op-
tion. What people need to under-
stand is that abuse is not a black
and white issue. It is scary as hell,
complex and full of diffi cult deci-
sions. The best way to deal with
abuse is to empower the victim and
recognize the signs of abuse before
it goes too far.
Stop perpetuating the idea that
some people deserve their abuse,
or are too stupid or weak to do
something about it. Instead of say-
ing, ‘Why are you staying?’ say
‘How can I help you?’ and consider
the many factors that are involved
when fl eeing an abusive relation-
ship.
Don’t ask them to explain or jus-
tify their life – just do what you can
to help them.
A new Alberta. That’s what Al-
berta’s new premier, Jim Prentice,
promised us when he was elected.
So far, he has been true to his word.
Prentice began to make good on
his promises soon after assuming
offi ce, disbanding the existing cabi-
net and replacing it with a smaller,
easier to manage group of 20. He
also caused controversy by includ-
ing two unelected members in the
cabinet, but no one can say that
such a move doesn’t demonstrate
new perspective when it comes to
forming a government.
It didn’t take long for Prentice
to follow up his cabinet announce-
ment by announcing that Alberta
would be selling its government
planes, the source of much frustra-
tion among Alberta residents and
perhaps the fi nal straw that led to
Redford’s resignation.
It would seem that selling Al-
berta’s government fl eet would be
a move that everyone agreed with,
but of course Wildrose Party lead-
er Danielle Smith still criticized it,
saying that the sale of the govern-
ment’s planes is something that
should have done long before.
While we agree that there was
never any real reason for Alberta’s
government to have its own fl eet,
Redford left Prentice with one heck
of a mess to clean up and he should
be applauded for his efforts so far.
Yes, it’s the opposition’s job to
disagree with the government but
there comes a time when the “bet-
ter late than never” argument is
appropriate.
Prentice announced the govern-
ment will scrap the plans to rede-
sign Alberta’s licence plate. This is
a move that does not deserve any
kind of criticism.
In scrapping redesign, Prentice
has demonstrated he does not plan
to play politics and is listening to
the people. He has shown that the
government’s goals occasionally
align with those of opposition par-
ties and it is possible for them to
work together in the future.
In politics, something we see far
too much of is an ‘us versus them’
mentality. Sometimes it is neces-
sary for political parties to dis-
agree, but it is also necessary for
them to work together, something
that many would deem impossible
by listening to Alberta’s offi cial
opposition. By no means has Pren-
tice completely healed the dam-
age caused by his predecessors or
restored faith in the Progressive
Conservative Party of Alberta. All
of the province will still be watch-
ing them like hawks.
But, he has had made good on his
promises. Since long before Pren-
tice was elected, loud shouts from
Alberta’s opposition parties said
that changing the party’s leader,
as has been done in the past, would
not change anything within the
party. That a new face would not
make a difference in the way the
province is governed.
Prentice is clearly proving them
wrong.

8 Lacombe Express Thursday, September 25, 2014
BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express
This past week has been
very busy for Lacombe
Fire, Blackfalds Fire, La-
combe Police and Black-
falds RCMP, Red Deer EMS
and Lacombe EMS.
On Sept. 25th at approxi-
mately 11:30 a.m., Lacombe
Fire was dispatched to a
vehicle fi re on the QEII
Hwy. involving an aerial
lift truck just north of the
Hwy. 12 overpass, but were
quickly able to bring the
situation under control.
The previous night, La-
combe Fire, Lacombe Po-
lice and Lacombe EMS re-
sponded to a motor vehicle
versus pedestrian collision
where a 22-year-old woman
was struck at the intersec-
tion of 50 Ave. and 50 St. in
Lacombe at approximately
10:30 p.m.
The woman suffered
serious though not life-
threatening injuries to her
lower body, police say.
She was transported
from the scene to the La-
combe Airport via ground
ambulance and was then
air-lifted by STARS Air
Ambulance to hospital for
treatment.
Insp. Lorne Blumhagen
of the Lacombe Police Ser-
vice said that the LPS is
working in collaboration
with Blackfalds RCMP re-
garding the incident and
the investigation is ongo-
ing but did confi rm that the
collision was a hit and run.
He added that further in-
formation will be released
from Blackfalds RCMP
when it becomes available.
On Sept. 22nd, Lacombe
Fire responded to a single-
vehicle rollover just south
of Morningside on Hwy. 2A
near the Exit 437 overpass.
While the initial call
indicated that there was
one patient trapped in the
rolled vehicle, fi refi ght-
ers learned on arrival that
there were in fact two pa-
tients, neither of whom
were trapped in the vehicle.
Lacombe Fire Chief Ed
van Delden said that it is
not unusual for confl icting
information to be verifi ed
on-scene as dispatchers
are working quickly with
minimal information about
incidents and do not always
have clear details.
“You will often hear us on
the radio confi rming what
we have when we arrive,”
said van Delden. “That is
so units know what we ac-
tually have versus what it
was called in as.”
Two patients were re-
moved without need of
extrication tools and trans-
ported to hospital.
Earlier Monday morn-
ing, Lacombe Fire was
dispatched and then stood
down after reports of a ve-
hicle versus pedestrian col-
lision in Blackfalds.
Blackfalds RCMP later
released a statement de-
tailing that the reports
of a 10-year-old girl being
struck by a motor vehicle
were erroneous and in fact
the collision had involved
two vehicles with one col-
liding with the rear of the
other. One passenger did
sustain minor injuries but
no child or pedestrian was
hit in the collision.
Also Monday morning, a
skateboarder was struck by
a motor vehicle on Hwy. 2A
near the Blindman River
and sustained serious but
non life-threatening inju-
ries. Blackfalds RCMP and
Blackfalds Fire attended
the scene. This incident is
still being investigated.
Meanwhile, on Sept. 17th
after 10:30 p.m., Lacombe
Fire was dispatched to the
Canadian University Col-
lege and Parkview Adven-
tist Academy campus for a
fi re investigation.
van Delden said no active
fi re was discovered but an
appliance was taken out of
service as a result of the in-
vestigation.
Earlier that day, La-
combe Fire, Blackfalds
Fire and EMS crews had
responded to a three-vehi-
cle collision on QEII Hwy.
northbound, just south of
the Blackfalds overpass.
Originally, STARS had
been dispatched to the
scene but was stood down
after emergency crews
were able to determine that
patient injuries were not as
severe as initially believed.
Lacombe Fire members
were able to use extrica-
tion tools to remove two
doors and a support from
a pickup truck that had
rolled into the ditch and re-
moved one trapped passen-
ger who was transported
via ground ambulance to
hospital for treatment of
serious but non life-threat-
ening injuries.
Two other vehicles, a van
and a small car, were also
involved in the collision.
There were some pa-
tients transported to hos-
pital from the van but none
were trapped and the small
car received only minor
damage.

WINA SHARE OF
YOU COULD*
Dr. Gifford
J O N E S
As a male, have you lost
the “tiger-in-the-tank?”
Possibly you are more
irritable, suffer insomnia,
have problems at work,
lost height, lack energy
and lack erections? Now
you wonder if testosterone
therapy is what’s needed.
Mae West, the movie sex
queen of long ago, knew
what made men, men. She
greeted them with a sultry
voice, “Is that a gun in your
pocket, or are you happy to
see me?”
I fi rst became interested
in what’s often called ‘The
big T’ years ago when I
interviewed Dr. Malcolm
Carruthers at a conference
on aging in London, Eng-
land. Carruthers, a Harley
Street specialist, was one of
the early pioneers in testos-
terone therapy.
During the interview I
met one of his patients who
had just received a second
testosterone injection. He
admitted to me that, follow-
ing the fi rst injection, he
had made love three times
in 24 hours! Needless to
say, he was a happy camp-
er, and if you want to be
shot by a jealous lover at 95
years of age, this is the way
to achieve that goal!
But will you reach 95 if
you take testosterone? It’s
been aptly said, “All would
be well if there were no
‘buts’.”
The problem is there has
always been, and still is, a
debate as to whether a tes-
tosterone boost increases
the risk of prostate cancer,
stroke or heart attack.
Carruthers has treated
over 2,000 men with testos-
terone. He says, “The myth
about testosterone being
linked to prostate cancer
has been deeply rooted in
medical consciousness for
over 60 years without this
happening.”
But what about the #1
killer, heart attack? I also
interviewed Dr. Peter Col-
lins, professor of Cardiol-
ogy at the Imperial College
of Science and Medicine
in London. He is a leading
expert on testosterone and
coronary heart disease.
Collins, like Carruthers,
believes linking testos-
terone to heart attack is
wrong. In fact, he claims
evidence shows normal
amounts of testosterone
protect against it.
Collins’ research shows
testosterone increases
coronary blood fl ow by as
much as 15 to 20%.
This is why patients suf-
fering from angina (heart
pain that increases with
exercise) can be helped by
testosterone treatment. In
addition, testosterone also
decreases blood cholesterol
and fi brinogen, the small
particles that form blood
clots. Dr. Eugene Shippen,
a U.S. expert on testoster-
one pathology, claims those
suffering from erectile
dysfunction (ED) are often
usually suffering from low
blood testosterone. These
men, he claims, are two
to three times more likely
to suffer a heart attack or
stroke. This evidence sup-
plements the work of Dr.
Steven Grover, Professor of
Medicine at McGill Univer-
sity, Montreal. He suggests,
“Impotence is the alarm
bell for a heart attack.”
He adds that, “In ap-
proximately 25 per cent of
cardiovascular patients,
their fi rst symptom of
heart disease is that they
drop dead.” This is not an
encouraging warning and
all the more reason to fi nd
a sign to indicate an attack
is imminent.
Dr. Grover’s study com-
pared 4,000 men with and
without cardiovascular
disease. It showed that men
with this problem had a 54
per cent chance of having
ED than those without car-
diovascular disease.
Also not well known is
that testosterone helps to
fi ght one of the nation’s big
killers, diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes patients
often develop insulin re-
sistance. They possess ad-
equate amounts of insulin,
but their cells refuse to
accept it. Testosterone in-
creases the effectiveness of
insulin.

10 Lacombe Express Thursday, September 25, 2014
BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express
It’s time again for the an-
nual Gull Lake Adventure
Race.
Now going into its third
year, the three phase race
is a fundraiser for the Gull
Lake Centre’s Leadership
Training and Discipleship
program.
Steve Roadhouse, execu-
tive director at Gull Lake
Centre, said he came up
with the idea after a col-
league, who had partici-
pated in an adventure race
in the mountains and sug-
gested that the camp do
something similar.
Roadhouse modifi ed the
race so that it would work
at Gull Lake Centre and the
Adventure Race was born.
“Basically, I just took
everything that I love and
smashed it into one event,”
said Roadhouse.
Racers start the race
with a cycling phase.
Second, there is an orien-
teering phase where racers
use orienteering skills to
guide their teams to differ-
ent activity stations.
Finally, there is the head-
to-head phase where race
teams face off against each
other in a number of fun
activities and games.
Gull Lake Adventure
Race was started to help
fund Gull Lake Centre’s
Leadership Training and
Discipleship program.
Roadhouse said that the
program is important to
train today’s kids to be to-
morrow’s leaders and in
particular, mentors.
“I hope what sets our pro-
gram apart a little bit is its
focus on mentorship,” said
Roadhouse. “I think that’s
something that our culture
is sorely lacking right now.
I don’t know many people
who have had someone that
is older, wiser and more
mature take them under
their wings and say, ‘I’ve
been down this road, I want
to help you walk down this
road too’.”
Mentorships benefi t both
people involved in the rela-
tionship as well, said Road-
house.
He added that he himself
has three mentors and is
mentoring three different
people, saying that those
relationships are some of
the richest relationships
that he has.
People often think they
can do everything on their
own and that asking for
help is a sign of weakness,
said Roadhouse.
“We want to be inde-
pendent, we want to kind
of make our own way and
asking for help can be dif-
fi cult,” said Roadhouse. “So
there is something really
beautiful about a mentor-
ship where both people re-
alize they are getting some
value out of it.”
Gull Lake Centre’s Lead-
ership Training and Dis-
cipleship (LTD) program
is a three year program
for high school students.
It begins with one week of
training where they learn
how to run camp, but Road-
house said the real training
takes place during their
practical segments where
they help run camp.
Roadhouse said that
when trainees in the pro-
gram come to help run the
camp during the summer,
they are not given a set job,
but a mentor and they do
whatever that mentor does.
He added that each week of
the year they get a different
mentor so they get experi-
ence with different men-
tors doing different things.
Students are mentored
outside of the summer as
well.
Roadhouse said students
in the program are respon-
sible to contact their men-
tors throughout the year,
set up meetings and build
that relationship.
Roadhouse said that
there is a minimum for
students to participate
in the program for three
weeks during the summer
and they can participate
in as many as eight weeks.
Add this to three weekend
retreats included in the
program and time spent
completing projects with
mentors throughout the
year, and students in the
LTD training could invest
as many as 500 hours a year
into the program.
The purpose of the pro-
gram, said Roadhouse, is to
create more mentors in the
world.
“Afterwards, because
they have been mentored,
they will be mentors,” said
Roadhouse.
“We are training men-
tors, which will hopefully
have a pretty signifi cant
ripple effect going out from
here.”
While the program is ex-
tremely valuable, it is also
quite expensive to run.
Roadhouse said the pro-
gram costs $90,000 to run
each year.
Gull Lake Adventure
Race aims to recover a
third of that cost.
Every year, racers are
given a welcome package
and have the chance to win
prizes. Roadhouse said that
this year’s prizes include
GoPro cameras, Camel-
backs, Garmin watches and
other cool outdoor gear.
So far, there are seven
teams registered in the
race. Roadhouse said he
would like to see between
10 and 16 teams signed up
by race weekend.

Back to school traffi c safety tips
The Lacombe Police Service would like to remind motorists
to pay extra attention to school buses and pedestrian traffi c
coming and going from the buses. The most common off ence
motorists commit is “failing to stop for a school bus” and this
can result in a fi ne upon conviction. The fi ne for this off ence is
$402 plus 6 demerit points.
The Lacombe Police Service recommends the following tips
for motorists when approaching a school bus that is preparing
to stop:
• When approaching the bus from the opposite direction,
ensure that you stop at a safe distance away from the front
of the bus.
• When approaching the bus from behind, we recommend that
you stop at least 20 metres away from the back of the bus.
• Once the lights have stopped fl ashing and the safety
arm folds away and the bus begins to move, it is safe to
continue driving.
• Motorists must also remember to obey the speed limits in
the school zones. The speed limit in a school zone is 30 km
per hour. The school zone hours are in eff ect weekdays from;
8:00 am – 9:30 am
11:30 am – 1:30 pm
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Fines for speeding in a school zone start are 1 km over the
speed limit and the fi nes start at $57.00 and the amount
increases for every 1km over.
BOLT Bus passes now availableResidents are advised the monthly regional and local passes
for BOLT Transit are now available for purchase at City Hall

Reminders
Coff ee with Council sessions are held semi-annually to
give Council an opportunity to interact with residents in
a relaxed atmosphere, and to give residents a chance to
meet their Council members, and to bring forward any
concerns, ideas and suggestions regarding civic aff airs.
Council had decided earlier in the year to align the
sessions of the Coff ee with Council sessions with existing
community events. This way the sessions are able to reach
a wider cross-section of people, while not taking them
away from busy schedules to attend separate functions.
The fall session of the 2014 Coff ee with Council took
place on September 9 during the Active Living Fair at the
Lacombe Memorial Centre. Public turnout at the event
was great, with approximately 80 people stopping by the
City booth to enjoy coff ee and snacks, and to speak their
minds to members of Council and senior staff . Community
Services staff were also on hand to provide program
information and brochures.
Some of the most asked about topics at the fall Coff ee with
Council session included the new BOLT Transit system,
renovations to the Barnett Arena, and questions about
construction of the new police station. Residents brought
forward concerns around crosswalks and pedestrian safety; traffi c
congestion in the downtown area; perceptions of unsightly
premises; poorly maintained alleys and parking lots; and
unsightly vegetation on undeveloped and vacant lots.
Concerns were also raised regarding the lack of a dog park;
overly steep tax increases and late penalties; expanding the new
regional public transit service; and the continuing lack of retail
shopping options. There were worries around response times
from the new police facility planned on the east side of the
railroad tracks, should a long train block all three intersections.
Citizens also expressed their appreciation for the launch of BOLT
Transit, the Maple Drive upgrades, and the addition of stoplights
and crosswalks to improve traffi c fl ow and pedestrian safety. Ideas
were put forth around extending the 30 kilometre per hour zone
on Highway 12 to include the Outreach School; to add a walking
track in the arena renovations; and to use the ECHO Energy
profi ts to off set tax increases.
“I would like to recognize the eff orts our residents have made to
interact with Council, staff and myself on topical issues within
the city,” said Mayor Steve Christie. “This level of dialogue is
very helpful in promoting a holistic approach to making the
community the best it can be.”
City staff gathered resident feedback at the event into a report for
Council’s review and consideration. A complete summary of the
resident feedback received, and subsequent Council responses,
can be found at www.lacombe.ca.

A citizen-centred approach to municipal budgeting
The City of Lacombe is affi rming its
commitment to an open, transparent and
citizen-centered approach by including
public participation in the annual budget
process. For the fi rst time ever, written
submissions were accepted from the
public and evaluated by Council for costing
consideration and inclusion into the 2015
Budget.
“Council initiated the Citizen Submission
program in order to engage with our
residents, and to solicit their comments and
suggestions regarding citizen priorities for
next year’s budget,” said Mayor Steve Christie.
“We will continue to encourage an open,
ongoing dialogue with the community
pertaining to issues facing our city.”
The municipality introduced this new
component to the budget process in May
2014. Residents were asked to share their ideas with Council before
September 1, 2014. Sixteen submissions, containing 28 ideas, were
received for Council’s evaluation.
After conducting a careful review, Council has requested that staff
provide costing for seven approved ideas for further consideration
and possible inclusion in the 2015 budget. The citizen-submitted
ideas include (in no particular order):
•A walk-through entrance to Heritage Park.
• An observation deck/wharf/boardwalk/canoe launch at the
northeast corner of Cranna Lake near the parking lot.
• A park setting with benches, trees, and fl owers on the south side
of Cranna Lake.
•A waterslide at the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre.
•Sidewalks and a stop sign along Fairway Drive.
•Crosswalk lights at 54 Avenue and 58 Street.
•Employing youth for walking trail maintenance.
Once project costing is available, Council will continue to evaluate
and prioritize the seven submissions for further consideration and
possible inclusion into next year’s budget. Please keep in mind that
due to fi nancial and other constraints, not all projects will make it
into the fi nal budget.
When the approved budget is presented to the public in
December, the status of each successful submission will be
highlighted in the fi nal budget report.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - Boards and Commissions TThe City of Lacombe is currently seeking to appoint a number of community-minded
citizens to serve on a variety of municipal boards and commissions
Serving the community in this manner will provide the volunteer with new skills as well as insights into the variety of services provided by the City of Lacombe.

Fall Community Cleanup CampaignThe fall Community Cleanup Campaign will be held from
October 14-23, 2014. The semi-annual campaign provides
residents with an opportunity to dispose of household and
yard refuse that cannot be placed out for regular collection.
The campaign starts on the Tuesday after the Thanksgiving
holiday long weekend. Residents are asked to place their
refuse items out for disposal at the front of their properties by
7 a.m. on the day their area is scheduled for pick-up. Refuse
must be organized and separated into piles for pick-up. Please
do not pile waste items on sidewalks, streets or alleys.
Any items left on the property or placed out after the
scheduled pick up date will remain the responsibility of the
property owner. City crews will not return after they have
completed pick up in the area. Items not picked up can then
be taken to the Prentiss Transfer Station.
Please visit www.lacombe.ca/communitycleanup for more
information on acceptable items and area collection schedules.

The Lacombe Raiders bantam football
team took on the Lindsay Thurber Bantam
Raiders last week and were able to defeat
their opponents 56-30.
Both teams put forth a tremendous ef-
fort, and for a while, it looked like Lindsay
Thurber would remain in the lead. “To
be down 24 points, at 24-nothing at half
time, the kids all sort of realized that they
weren’t living up to their potential and
they did that in their second half,” said
Darren Gagnon, co-coach of the Lacombe
Raiders.
In the fi rst half of the game, the pros-
pects looked slim.
The Lindsay Thurber Raiders secured
three touchdowns by half time that en-
abled them a lead of 24-0. The Thurber
Raiders had a very strong offensive game.
The Lacombe Raiders thought they had
brought the score back up with a touch-
down, but a fl ag was thrown and the play
was given a penalty, ruling the touchdown
illegal.
“I believe in our kids, after the fi rst three
games we had, where we won quite hand-
ily, were quite over-confi dent. I think that
we have a very young team, an inexperi-
enced team and they thought they were
great,” said Gagnon.
“They played a great team today from
Lindsay Thurber and all of a sudden they
realized they had to keep fi ghting. It does
say a lot about the team and the character
that they came back in the second half and
played like they can play.”
Although they were down, the Lacombe
Raiders were able to make some incred-
ible plays during the fi rst half of the game.
Late in the second quarter, the Lacombe
defense held its ground from roughly fi ve
yards from their end-zone, and were able
to continue to push the Red Deer Raiders
back to almost centre fi eld.
The Lacombe defense was working very
hard that quarter, and was able to com-
plete several passes. In the third quarter,
however, the team refocused and Richard
Jans was able to secure a touchdown for
Lacombe.
Also in that same quarter, Logan El-
lis scored a touchdown after intercepting
a catch and running over 50 yards to the
end-zone.
Notable players in this quarter also in-
cluded player Evan Standish, who made
some daring catches that surprised and
excited the crowd. By the end of the third
quarter, the Lacombe Raiders had made
an incredible rebound and tied the game
24-24. Gagnon said that he does not think
the Raiders have just one or two stars, but
is a great team as a whole.
“We have a few players that are above av-
erage, but it’s about many, many of them
playing together and that’s what makes
this team great,” he said.
The greatness continued into the fi nal
quarter where a fi erce back and forth to se-
cure fi rst downs took place. One player was
able to intercept a catch and gain 15 yards
which brought Simon Gray the placement
he needed to secure another touchdown
from the three yard line.
The game looked like it would be close
although the Lacombe Raiders were catch-
ing up quickly. There was a lot of the ball
switching hands as each team pushed for
more than a couple downs.
A second incredible run of the side of
Lacombe took player number 10 over 50
yards, just as Ellis did earlier in the game.
This play was what secured Lacombe 46-24,
although Red Deer quickly brought their
score up again to 30.
In the last two minutes of the fi nal quar-
ter, a fi nal play was made by Lacombe that
brought the fi nal score to 56-30, with La-
combe coming out on top.
“All the coaches that come out here ev-
ery day, we all do it together. All the kids
show up and we can all be proud that we
learned a bit and this will probably make
us better,” said Gagnon. He said he was
proud to see his team push hard to bring in
another winning game.

Next weekend, runners from across the
province will come to Lacombe to pay their
respects to the man who was instrumental
in the building of Lacombe’s trail system.
On Oct. 4th, Lacombe will honour the
memory of Bill Nielsen with Bill’s Trail
Run, a memorial run with 10k, 5k, 2k and
2k family routes.
Nielsen was born in Montreal and moved
to Lacombe in 1990. He had taken up run-
ning at the age of 40 and was an advocate
for physical fi tness.
He was also instrumental in the creation
of Lacombe’s trail system.
In April of this year, Nielsen died from
pancreatic cancer at the age of 73. Now,
a group of his friends and fellow runners
have come up with Bill’s Trail Run as a
way to remember him.
“He left us the legacy of the trails,” said
Diane Foster, one of the organizers for
Bill’s Trail Run. “It’s so beautiful around
there, you forget you are even in Lacombe.”
Foster added Nielsen has touched a lot
of lives and inspired many people to run.
Therefore, many people from outside La-
combe will be coming to honour him.
“We have people coming from all over
Alberta,” said Foster. “Not only local tal-
ent, not only people who knew Bill but
people who know of our trails.”
Rory Whitbread, a fellow runner and
close friend of Nielsen’s, spoke of how
Nielsen inspired him to start running.
“I know for me personally he was such
an inspiration when I was getting into run-
ning and I know so many people who have
Bill Nielsen to be remembered through Bill’s Trail Run

Recently, I had the op-
portunity to see some live
mixed martial arts fi ghts
during the Havoc Fight-
ing Championships in Red
Deer.
The fi ghts were great.
They were exciting, enter-
taining and the fi ghters dis-
played incredible levels of
athleticism in the ring.
Outside of the ring how-
ever, I became acutely
aware of a problem many
of the fans around me were
adding to – smack-talk.
Whenever a fi ghter who
was not from Red Deer en-
tered the ring, the crowd
booed. When a favourite
fi ghter was doing particu-
larly well, someone in the
crowd would shout some-
thing like, “Yeah! Break his
neck!”
And when Luis Huete
made short work of Red
Deer fi ghter Wolfgang Jen-
sen in the main event of
the evening, some fans of
Jensen even stood up and
shouted obscenities.
Smack-talk has no place
in any sport (particularly
MMA, where there is al-
ready a problem of people
viewing it as a thuggish
blood sport). Yet, it can
be observed in almost all
sports and in my opinion,
is a real problem.
Thankfully, it is a prob-
lem mostly propagated by
fans of sports, and not the
athletes themselves.
Unfortunately, it’s also
the fans that sports have
the least control over.
A coach can pull unruly
players off the fi eld and
have them warm the bench
for awhile when they start
spouting off at the mouth.
However, until fans start
being genuinely abusive,
there is little anyone can do
about their rude behaviour.
Sportsmanship is defi ned
as the ethos that sports
should be enjoyed for their
own sake, with proper con-
sideration for fairness,
ethics, respect and a sense
of fellowship with one’s
competitors. Anything
contrary to such conduct
is unsportsmanlike and
behaviour of the sort of
people we like to refer to as
‘sore losers.’ Smack-talk is
the furthest thing from the
defi nition of sportsman-
ship that I can think of and
therefore should have no
place in sports.
Sports has no place for smack-talk

the same story,” said Whitbread. “He’s just
such an inspiring guy and he was more
than happy to give tips here and there with
people who were just starting out. There
are a lot of people who are runners today
thanks to Bill.”
Neil Harker, another close friend of
Nielsen’s, also commented on Nielsen’s
willingness to help out anyone new to the
sport of running. “He was a friend to any-
one who wanted to run,” said Harker.
Whitbread actually ran the Boston Mar-
athon in Nielsen’s name this past April
just a short time before he died. Having
the words ‘4 Bill’ written on his arm while
running was a source of encouragement
for Whitbread, he said. He added that as
he was running, spectators would call out,
“For Bill!” allowing him to push through
the tough parts of the race.
“That was very uplifting for me,” said
Whitbread.
Actually, Whitbread added one of the
last things Nielsen said to anyone was just
after learning Whitbread’s time when he
came across the fi nish line.
Nielsen gave Whitbread a faster time to
match, one of Nielsen’s own times from
when he competed in the Boston Mara-
thon. “(Nielsen) said that I would have to
go back to Boston just to try to knock a few
minutes off to match his time,” said Whit-
bread. “I might have to do it now.”
In 1980, Nielsen completed his fi rst mar-
athon. By the end of his running career, he
would complete 100 marathons including
the Boston Marathon, New York Marathon
and Chicago Marathon.
In the 1990s, Nielsen moved to Lacombe
and almost immediately set about building
Lacombe’s trail system, said Foster.
She added that in addition to being in-
strumental in the design and construction
of Lacombe’s trails, Nielsen was also in-
volved in getting funding for the outdoor
fi tness equipment installed around Cran-
na Lake. “He was a volunteer, if there was
anything you needed done, he got it done,”
said Foster.
Even after being diagnosed with Parkin-
son’s in 2000, Nielsen continued to run. Of
the 100 races he ran, Nielsen fi nished fi rst
in his age category 37 times, 18 of them
consecutively. Foster said 134 participants
have signed up for Bill’s Trail Run so far,
including eight families for the route
around Cranna Lake.
She said registrations remain open and
organizers are still looking for volunteers
to serve as race marshals as well.
Run start time is 10 a.m. and the start/
fi nish line will be at Lacombe Composite
High School. For more information, visit

Described as an electrifying musical
powerhouse, Edmonton-based Rend plays
The Vat in Red Deer on Sept. 30th.
Founded in 2010 by lead singer/songwrit-
er/keyboardist Carol-Lynne Quinn, these
past few years have been a whirlwind jour-
ney and have allowed Rend to see tremen-
dous success in the Canadian music scene.
Rounding out the group are Jeff Quinn
(bass), Steve Roe (electric guitar) and Jor-
dan Dempster (drums).
The current tour, which includes shows
in 13 cities, joins the group with B.C. band
Isobel Trigger. At the end of their tour, to
treat east coasters, Rend will be perform-
ing a special showcase at Indie Week Cana-
da in Toronto in mid-October.
“To tour in Western Canada is extreme-
ly rewarding,” said Carol. “Canada is our
home and connecting with people all over
this country is such an amazing feeling.”
Rend opened Sonic Boom in 2013, and
have performed alongside Mother Mother,
City and Colour, Dear Rouge, Electric Six,
Victoria Duffi eld and Zerbin.
The band aims to create music which in-
spires, excites, and sets them apart. Front
woman Carol’s soulful vocals are coupled
with the band’s rhythmic loops, gritty bass
and electric guitar in their new EP Winter
to Summer album – a compilation of six
songs.
Carol said the band made the decision
to release six tunes instead of a full-length
disc as they felt an urgency to share more
with listeners as soon as they could.
These days, the industry is becoming
more singles-driven in a sense as well, so
it made sense to get new music out sooner
than later. She also recalls the recording of
the songs as a rich, creative stint. “We real-
ly knew the material so well from touring
it a lot.” Tracks were wrapped up within a
month.
“We also didn’t want to keep putting it
off to do a full length CD,” she said. “It just
seems that it’s kind of the age of the single,
too.”
Going into recording Winter to Summer,
she said the band wanted to expand on
their already established foundation. Ear-
ly sounds included touches of rock, funk,
R&B.
“After touring, and honing our sound,
we realized where we are fi tting more and
more. Getting into the EP we wanted to
represent what we are increasingly sound-
ing like, which is more cohesive. We have
this alternative feel, where we sort of get
to play around with what we do.”
The band is charting in the top 100 of
Canadian Rock Radio, and has Canadian
wide radio play. Other standouts include
the title track which glides along with a
polished, sophisticated vibe, melding eas-
ily into the haunting sensibilities of Is It
Just Me which showcases Carol’s crystal-
clear, expressive voice to new heights.
Lamp Post has an lighter, luminous feel
to it – whereas their latest single, the com-
paratively intense Scars, has just been re-
leased to radio.
Plastic Flowers again shows just how
connected and tight this band really is
– again, Carol’s vocal performance is tre-
mendous.
The past four years for the band has been
a whirlwind - in 2013, the band showcased
at Indie Week Canada, Canadian Music
Week and were named Edmonton’s SONiC
102.9 Fan Choice and Band of the Month.
Members joined forces during their stud-
ies at Edmonton’s Grant MacEwan Univer-
sity. After they graduated, they found they
had tapped into something unique. Gigs
were requested around town and it was
clear that Rend was carving out a niche for
themselves.
They recorded their fi rst disc No Lines
only a few months after their fi rst gig and
immediately started receiving radio play.
They had recorded a project earlier,
which Carol said really opened their eyes
to what they could do and the range of pos-
sibilities that were there for the exploring.
The band has been described as having a
‘dash of Metric, a scoop of Coldplay and a
layer of Paramore’ all topped off with The
Cranberries.
Carol’s own passion for music surfaced
early on. She didn’t take music lessons
during her growing up years, but she had
a desire to write her own songs while ex-
perimenting with melodies on the piano. It
was also during time at church and taking
part in school musicals that she found her
voice.
Meanwhile, she can’t wait to hit the
road. “Performing live, and seeing people’s
reactions to the music is the best. You get
to see unbiased opinions and what really
connects with people.”
Joining Rend for the Red Deer show is
alt-pop/rock band Isobel Trigger, which re-
cently released their EP Nocturnal. Their
music video for their third single Cham-
pion has also been posted on YouTube.
Darryl LeCraw, video director for the
band’s fi rst two music videos Dust and
Bones and Tiger Shark, took many creative
liberties with the band’s latest video and
utilized CGI as seen in the fi rst video Dust
and Bones.
LeCraw and the band worked together
from the very beginning to settle on the
video frame by frame, resulting in a prod-
uct that showcases the band’s alt-rock side,
pulling between whimsical and powerful.

Three artists from Central Al-
berta with special needs are com-
ing together to offer a brand new
Alberta Culture Days event, the
Thru My Eyes Art Exhibition and
Sale.
Local artist Wayne Spink was
instrumental in starting the
event.
He said that the event is not
just about supporting artists with
special needs, but about support-
ing people with special needs in
general.
“This is about bringing more
awareness to the community
with regards to issues that these
individuals face on a daily basis,”
said Spink.
Retired from his professional
career as an artist, Spink now
works with Lacombe Action
Group. Because of Spink’s own
experience as an artist, Lacombe
Action Group asked him to men-
tor Sheldon Wheatley of Ponoka,
one of the artists featured in
Thru My Eyes. Wheatley often
visited the Ponoka Jubilee Li-
brary to work on his art as it was
an available quiet space.
With his protégé frequently
visiting the library to work, Spink
approached library manager Da-
vid Tremblay to see if the library
would be interested in hosting a
show and sale for Wheatley’s art.
Tremblay took things a step
further and suggested opening up
the event to a few more artists.
That way, the library was also
able to secure an Alberta Culture
Days grant to fund the event.
So, Spink got a few other art-
ists involved as well. In addition
to Wheatley, Thru My Eyes will
feature artists Deborah Torrance
of Sylvan Lake and Wilson Har-
rowby of Red Deer.
“This is actually an amazing
opportunity for all three of these
artists,” said Spink.
In addition to displaying and
selling their artworks at the ex-
hibition, the artists will also be
instructing workshops and per-
forming demos on the opening
day of the exhibition, Sept. 27th.
Wheatley will be teaching a
workshop utilizing copic markers
(his specialty medium), Torrance
a workshop on polymer clay and
Wilson will be doing an art dem-
onstration featuring his favourite
art subject, cars.
“This is a very unique oppor-
tunity that has presented itself,”
said Spink.
Currently, there is only enough
grant funding to hold the event
for one year, but Spink said he
hopes it will become an annual
thing. He said he would like to see
other libraries do similar events
in the years to come as well.
Furthermore, Spink said he
and Tremblay want to see the
event grow. Spink mentioned he
would like to see keynote speak-
ers come in addition to the sales
and workshops during Thru My
Eyes. While the grant funding
for Thru My Eyes currently only
covers the event this year, Spink
said he believes things will come
together for future events if he
stays focused and ignores deter-
rents. “I’m kind of one of these
people that has blinders and ear-
plugs on,” said Spink. “Stay fo-
cused and things materialize.”
Because of the Alberta Culture
grant, all workshops and admis-
sion to the event is free.
Funds from sales of the pieces
will go directly to the artists.
The Thru My Eyes Art Exhibi-
tion and Sale runs from Sept. 27th
– Oct. 18th.
Workshops and demos will take
place on Sept. 27th beginning at 1
p.m. followed by a meet and greet
with the artists at 2:30 p.m. There
are only 10 seats available for
each workshop so please contact
the library to register.
For more information or to
register call the Ponoka Jubilee
Library at 403-782-3843.

Thru My Eyes celebrates artists with special needs
A traditional dessert at
Thanksgiving is pumpkin
pie, but there are so many
other options that would
feel just as seasonal.
One of my favourites is
cranberry bread pudding.
Bread puddings usually uti-
lize leftover stale bread, but
I prefer to use a fresh loaf of
French bread and toast it in
the oven instead.
The results are far supe-
rior.
When it fi rst comes from
the oven it will be puffed
up and beautiful, but don’t
be alarmed to see it shrink
down as it cools, this is nor-
mal.
When it comes to serv-
ing, a premium vanilla
bean ice cream is a wonder-
ful addition. I hope it be-
comes a favorite with your
family too.
Cranberry bread pud-
ding
“A combination of both
fresh and dried cranberries
makes for a fl avourful and
more complex cranberry
taste.”
1 - 454g (1 lb.) French loaf
4 large eggs, beaten
1¼ (one and a quarter)
cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ (one quarter) tsp salt
Zest from 2 lemons, fi ne-
ly chopped
2 cups 10% MF cream
(half and half)
2 cups milk (2% MF or
3.5% homogenized)
¾ cup sweetened dried
cranberries
¾ cup cranberries (fresh
or frozen), halved
Vanilla bean ice cream,
optional
Preheat oven to 400 de-
grees.
Tear the French bread
into approximate one inch
to two inch chunks and
spread evenly on a large
baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 10
minutes, tossing the piec-
es around about halfway
through.
Remove from the oven
and let sit while you pre-
pare the rest of the pud-
ding.
Decrease the oven tem-
perature to 350 degrees and
prepare a 9x13 baking dish
by buttering it.
In a large bowl combine
the eggs, sugar, vanilla,
cinnamon, salt and the zest
thoroughly.
Whisk in the cream and
milk.
Add the toasted bread
pieces and the dried cran-
berries and toss it all to-
gether thoroughly with
your hands.
Let mixture sit for 10
minutes for the bread piec-
es to absorb.
Put one half of the cus-
tard-soaked bread mixture
into the prepared baking
dish and top with half of
the fresh/frozen halved
cranberries.
Add the remaining bread
mixture (and scrape all
liquid from the bowl) to
the dish and top with the
remaining fresh/frozen
halved cranberries.
Bake for approximate-
ly one hour until the top
browns and puffs up.
Also an inserted but-
ter knife should come out
clean.
Let sit for at least 10 to
15 minutes before serving
warm with vanilla bean ice
cream.
Makes 10 to 12 portions.

Design has many faces, moods
and characters.
It is a fl uid almost live entity
that evolves and merges with cur-
rent events and will take on the
life and personality of the demo-
graphic where it resides. If you
are fortunate enough to travel
you will experience many differ-
ent facets of design depending on
where you fi nd yourself visiting.
Considering all aspects of de-
sign, we fondly remember and
still love the classics.
Vehicles, homes and clothing
are all extremely vulnerable to
design changes and fl uctuations
yet we yearn for the days of clas-
sic vehicles and homes. We trek
to distant lands to see the parlors
and ball rooms of yesteryear and
will pay thousands upon thou-
sands to own that superb, vintage
automobile. When we see a perfect
example of Victorian architecture
we involuntarily let out a huge
sigh as we take in the stunning de-
tail and personality of the home.
If we are standing on a street
corner and the thrum of a vin-
tage Mustang convertible catches
our attention, we will stop what
we are doing and wait to catch a
glimpse of this magnifi cent piece
of machinery. If a starlet wears
a vintage Chanel dress to an
awards show it is snapped again
and again by the Paparazzi.
I don’t think any of us are im-
mune to the awe of modern archi-
tecture. It is somewhat of a mir-
acle to see skyscrapers, bridges
and towers that defy the laws of
gravity looming before us.
Even a trip to downtown Cal-
gary is a feast for the eyes as
some of the new structures are
being built.
The shape and use of metal
and glass is breathtaking and for
us mere mortals (not architects)
it is enough of a pleasure just to
be able to gaze upon these mod-
ern works of art. More than just
structures; these buildings are
like giant honeycombs where
thousands of people inhabit, work
and create and beauty is only the
surface of the vibrancy of these
contemporary structures.
In most of us I think there is a
small corner of our mind which
yearns for simplicity.
Have you ever been caught day-
dreaming about a small cabin
in the woods or quiet hut on the
beach?
When I was little I used to
watch Swiss Family Robinson
and would dream of someday liv-
ing in a treehouse on the beach
where I could catch fi sh and roast
it over an open fi re. It may be a
pipe dream and I would probably
only last a few days in true off-
the-grid simplicity but those tiny
self-sustaining homes can be ex-
tremely appealing.
I believe the most important
aspect of design is comfort and
familiarity.
If we have surrounded our-
selves with items and memories,
any place we choose to lay our
heads will feel like home. Those
classic cars may remind us of our
youth and those little cabins may
just bring us back to a soul satis-
fying family vacation. Whatever
our favorites may be, they stir
something deep inside our souls
and give us a thrill just to look or
spend time in them once again.
Design can be many things to
many people and there is no right
answer, no perfect formula. Each
individual must decide what they
crave and what brings them com-
fort and then begin to create their
perfect space from that perspec-
tive.

TRAVELI left Alberta in early May with
the remains of the latest snowfall
on the ground and a chill in the
air.
My destination was Cape Town
to start a voyage up the coast of
West Africa ending in Dover. I
love history so the opportunity
to see and learn about this conti-
nent was a dream come true.
I cannot even begin to mini-
mize my journey into 700 words
all summed up. Instead I will do
this story over two parts, this
month and next. I am writing to
tell about the various destina-
tions so it can open your mind to
what is beyond the typical cruise
destinations.
Perhaps one day you can travel
these wonders and also share
with your friends, what is now a
dream that came true for myself.
Cape Town is a beautiful city;
the climate mild, the scenery
stunning and the people friendly.
Table Mountain, with outstand-
ing views of the city beaches
and pounding Atlantic, can be
reached by cable car.
The Castle of Good Hope and
other fortresses with their mili-
tary and maritime museums,
torture chambers, and stone for-
tifi cations were established as
early as 1666. Robben Island is in-
famous as the isolated prison of
former South African President
Nelson Mandala.
A short ferry ride allows visi-
tors to visit the site where many
political dissenters were impris-
oned.
The coastal region of Namibia
is made up of extensive sand
dunes where diamonds were so
abundant in 1908, that the fi rst
miners lay on their bellies and
crawled to pick diamonds out of
the sand.
Shifts operated 24 hours per
day as diamonds glittered in the
moonlight. Kara Kulia Carpet
Center showcases the cleaning,
carding, spinning, dyeing and
eventual weaving of carpets from
the wool of Namibian sheep.
Sand dunes can be explored as
a photo stop, a climb to the top
of the towering swirls or a sand
buggy tour.
Benin, on the Slave Coast, was
important in the slave trade.
Dahomey warriors caught
many and killed few enemies.
Prisoners were sold, resulting in
two benefi ts – the kingdom rid it-
self of enemies and grew wealthy.
One tribe fl ed to the coast
and established the stilt village
of Ganvie as a refuge from at-
tack. It is reached by travelling
in pirogues from a wharf on the
lagoon. For over a century, more
than 10,000 slaves per year were
sent to the Americas.
Most victims from Ouidah, the
town where voodoo began and re-
mains strong, were sent to Brazil
and Haiti.
In the early 1900s, Germany
turned Togo into a model colony
with harbor facilities, rail lines,
a powerful wireless transmitter
and an agricultural program.
When World War I began, Germa-
ny promoted neutrality but was
unsuccessful.
France and Britain occupied
Togo and the Germans blew up
their transmitter and surren-
dered. Glidja is noted for its many
shrines and fetish markets sell-
ing traditional ingredients used
by sorcerers. The highlights of
tours to villages were the dance
performances – one in a voodoo
village involved symbols of evil
in the form of dancers whirling
in grass cones being countered by
drummers and other dancers.
Ghana means ‘gold’ and early
interest was on its acquisition.
The Ashanti ornamented their
communities with gold and their
armies conquered and enslaved
neighbouring tribes. The Gold
Coast attracted Portuguese,
Spanish, English, Italian, Flem-
ish, French, Dutch, Swedes,
Danes and Germans. Eventually
there were 76 forts and castles
along the coast. In the 19th cen-
tury European countries banned
the sale of slaves causing Ashanti
income to decline.
The Ashanti fought to maintain
the slave trade until about 1900.
The Arts and Crafts Market is
worth a visit for Kente cloth – co-
lourfully distinctive, durable and
made into many things including
ceremonial garments.
Senegal is the most westerly
point in continental Africa.
Goree Island, with its Slave
House and Fortress Museum, was
the center of the slave trade. The
Dutch founded the fortress and
established a large market for
agricultural and manufactured
products; however, slaves were
the lucrative part of their busi-
ness.
Today, Goree Island has colour-
ful buildings from the 18th centu-
ry, winding lanes, balconies, and
terraces – but no motor vehicles.
In Dakar, French colonial infl u-
ences can be seen in the Presiden-
tial Palace, town hall and railway
stations. Salt works, traditional
dancers and crafts are highlight-
ed at the Pink Lake of Retba.
This is just my journey which
ended, then off to Cape Verde!
The countries above are beyond
paragraphs.
This journey suffi ces an entire
day of speaking about it over cof-
fee in my offi ce while I sit and
dream about someone else taking
in what I just embraced and will
be embedded in my mind forever.
To learn more about the second
half of my journey, take a peek in
next month’s issue!
