Museum exhibit explores experiences of newcomers to CanadaTravelling display tells stories from 150 years of immigration
Few of us can really imagine what it would be like to land in a brand new country where virtually everything
about the culture and the established way of life is new.
A current exhibit at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery is focused on bringing some of the experiences of folks who have come to Canada over the past 150 years to life. Newcomers’ unique and shared experiences—across time and cultures—are highlighted in a thoughtful way through oral histories, archival im-ages, original artworks, objects and your participation.
The cross-Canada tour of ‘Canada: Day 1’, an exhibition from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax opened at the MAG last month and is showing through to mid-August.
“This is actually the fi rst exhibit that Pier 21 has sent out,” explained Kim Verrier, coordinator of visitor experience at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery. “When we saw it, the topic and the rele-vance to now just seemed to scream out that we should get it,” she said, adding the Museum actually booked the exhibit two years ago.
But as mentioned, the relevancy to today is striking and poignant. Through a number of audio and visual means, many stories of newcomers to Canada are told. Striking photos both from the nation’s earliest days and over the subsequent decades also refl ect the experiences of immigrants.
“It’s just seems to be so timely in the current conversation,” she said. “What this exhibition is really about is the dif-ferent emotions and feelings and things that happen when someone arrives in Canada. It’s about that fi rst day expe-rience - what do you encounter? What are the feelings? Why did you leave your home country, and how did you settle?
“What was it like. And of course, not everyone has the most positive story. Most people don’t leave homes that are in good situations - and they all come with a story.
“For many of us, we are multiple gener-ations away from an immigration experi-ence. And when we look at this we think, wow - what was it like?”
Interestingly, there are two local citi-zens who are featured in the exhibit as well - Monybany Dau and Ethel Suarez. “So we have two locals which Pier 21 was really excited about because not every stop that they have has local people fea-tured in it.”
According to the Pier 21 web site, Dau was born in Atar, Sudan in 1975. During
the Second Sudanese Civil War, he vol-unteered to join the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, and fought as a child soldier in South Sudan. He served until 1986 when he and 600 other child sol-diers were sent to Cuba. Cuba supported the South Sudanese independence movement and agreed to support the young soldiers affected by the war.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba suffered economically and could no longer support Dau or the other former child sol-diers. Through the United Nations, he applied for refugee status in Canada. He arrived in September 1998 and found work in both Red Deer and Brooks and was able to support his family members in Sudan.
“Monybany currently lives in Red Deer with his wife and two sons, and is working to-ward a career in business management. He also made a documentary called The Ladder of My Life about his experiences
as a child soldier and refugee.” The fi lm will be screened at the MAG on June 20th, starting at 7 p.m.
Suarez was born in Salto, Uruguay in 1944.
In 1973, a military coup forced many people to leave Uruguay because of their political beliefs. Suarez and her husband belonged to a political party that was banned by the new government and they were repeatedly ha-rassed and threatened by the military. “Ethel, her husband and their three children fl ed to Argentina in 1974 where they lived for the next three years. With the assistance of the United Nations, Ethel and her family came to Canada as refugees in 1977.”
The family settled in Red Deer where Suarez and her
husband opened and operated a success-ful carpentry business. She sold the busi-ness fi ve years later after her husband passed away in 1985. Currently, she works
as a disability counsellor in Red Deer. She is also involved with C.A.R.E. (Central Alberta Refugee Effort).
Also displayed in the exhibit are items the immigrants interviewed for this proj-ect carried in their luggage to Canada, including beans from Italy, instant noo-dle soups from Hong Kong, family photo albums, jewelry, books and even stuffed animals. Another fascinating part points out how many war brides left their homes in Europe and settled in Canada, too.
“The war brides were the largest group of immigrants to come to Canada at one time,” she said. “So within a short period of time, there was something like 45,000 war brides - the numbers are just as-tounding. Today, they say there are about more than one million descendants of war brides living in Canada.”
As Lorna Johnson, executive director of the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery points out, the exhibit offers visitors the chance to see Canada, “With fresh eyes - as newcomers over the past 100 years have experienced it.
“It also offers the opportunity for us to extend hands of welcome to those who have just recently arrived here, and invite them to share their stories.”

Council approves changes to strengthen public participationDecision on playground/school zone changes delayed to 2017
BY ERIN FAWCETTRED DEER EXPRESS
At this week’s meeting, council approved a series of changes to Public Advisory Committees (PACs) that will give the public greater infl uence on the City’s decision making processes.
“Through the Dialogue Charter, which focused on creating a new relationship between the City and the public, we’ve been reviewing and strengthening our public participation process,” said Elaine Vincent, director of Development Services. “As part of this process, a review of the Public Advisory Committees was undertaken, and several changes were recommended to better en-gage the public in decision making.”
The review, which included consultation and communication with members of existing PACs, highlighted that there was confusion and lack of clarity in the current PAC structure. Members also expressed a desire for more infl uence in the decision making process.
“City council is committed to engaging with our public to ensure we are repre-senting our community in a way that is responsive to Red Deerians,” said Mayor Tara Veer. “Council recently adopted a di-alogue strategy which expands the scope and modernizes the many ways we consult and seek feedback from our public. This new approach to public advisory committees is grounded in council’s Strategic Direction for the City’s ongoing citizen dialogue and intends to move local government towards a strengthened public participation process.”
As a result of the review, council approved the ending of the Greater Downtown Action Plan Committee (GDAP), Heritage Preservation Committee (HPC), Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) and Municipal Features Naming Committee (MFNC) as of October 2016.
“We are grateful for our many volunteers and look forward to continuing to work with our public in additional ways as we fulfi ll our community vision for initiatives such as protecting our environment, building
a vibrant downtown, and preserving and celebrating our heritage,” said Veer. “The City of Red Deer continues to look for op-portunities to gather input and engage with our community to ensure our citizens are heard and have an infl uence on decision making.”
Council approved a few actions and changes in relation to some of these con-cluding committees and their work. In rela-tion to the Heritage Recognition Awards, a report will be brought back to council by Oct. 31st on the future of the awards program. For the development of the Environmental Master Plan in 2017, a public participation plan, including a citizen advisory group, will be developed to create an updated master plan. The advisory group terms of reference will come forward to council for consideration in October. Lastly, due to the limited number of municipal feature naming opportunities, council will take ownership of this decision making process.
In October, the Public Art Jury will become the Public Art Commission to refl ect a new level of empowered decision making. The commission’s purpose will be to provide expert and community input on public art; to recommend and advise on public art policies, guidelines, plans and issues; review all acquisitions and donations of public art; and, adjudicate all public art projects and grant applications in accordance with current policies. Council members will not have a seat on this commission.
Both the Community Housing Advisory Board (CHAB) and the Community Safety Committee will continue their work. CHAB’s work will continue until a governance and leadership structure review is complete and recommendations relating to the future of the committee are brought forward, based on the Five Year Plan to End Homelessness and continued discussions with our com-munity partners and the Government of Alberta, for review by council. If no recommendations come forward by the end of 2017, the future of the committee will be revisited. The Community Safety Committee will continue their work until
their mandate is fulfi lled.As one tool within the Public Participation
Toolbox, citizen advisory groups will be uti-lized to, generally, serve a collaborative role with administration in the decision making process. “In the future, citizen advisory groups will be developed with a specifi c purpose, term, and mandate,” said Vincent. “This review was completed to ensure the public can infl uence decision making in the right ways at the right time. In some cases, this may include a citizen advisory group. In other cases, it may include a charrette, a world café or a multitude of other participation opportunities.”
All bylaw amendments related to the changes in the public advisory commit-tees will be presented to council for re-view by September. Recruitment for the other committees of council, including Municipal Planning Commission and
Mayor’s Recognition Awards, will begin in September 2016.
Meanwhile, council tabled a decision on changes to the playground zone and school zone areas in the City at this week’s meeting. It is proposed the playground zone speed reductions change to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on all days to reduce confusion. The current speed reduction time in playground zones is 8:30 a.m. to one hour after dusk. Currently school zone speed reductions are in effect from 8-9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3-4:30 p.m. It is recommended school zone speed reductions are changed to 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on all school days.
Council will discuss the matter during operating budget deliberations in January as the change comes with a $120,000 price tag for signage changes and for communi-cation campaigns.

New contest launched by Tourism Red DeerBY CYRIL BRABANTRED DEER EXPRESS
With the welcoming of summer, Tourism Red Deer plans on upping its game in terms of attractions to Red Deer with the unveiling of its new program and contest, ‘Be Our Guest’.
Be Our Guest’s initiative is to bring more tourism to Red Deer with the use of elec-tronic post cards which individuals can send to friends or family members.
“What we’re really hoping is that peo-ple will invite their friends and family to share what they love about Red Deer,” said Liz Taylor, the executive director at Tourism Red Deer. “Whether it’s the trails or the events and more than just the backyard barbecues.”
Individuals enter the contest by sending an electronic post card from the Be Our Guest page on the Visit Red Deer site and can invite several people once for multi-ple entries.
According to Taylor, vacations within Canada have been increasing with the
price of the loonie steadily declining and that since mid-2015, more tourists have been attracted to Canada because of the low dollar value.
The contest will run through the sum-mer until Oct. 7th. The winner of the contest will have up to four family and friends fl own to Red Deer from anywhere in Canada, courtesy of Air Canada.
“There’s still a lot of people that don’t know that you can fl y in from anywhere in Canada to Red Deer,” said Taylor. “We
know that the majority of Red Deerians love living in Red Deer and Central Alberta. So we wanted to build off of that.”
Kayla Thorsen, the marketing and com-munications manager at the Red Deer Airport said they are excited to be part of the contest.
“We were so excited when Liz told us about the program,” she said. “There are so many attractions and unique experi-ences here in Red Deer.”
Taylor added they hope the program
reaches around 1,000 individuals.Tourism Red Deer has also brought in
partnerships with several City hotels and attractions for special deals and promo-tions for incoming visitors.
“We’re also looking to building up to-wards 2019 during the Winter Games,” said Taylor. “We know people will be in-viting their families to stay.”
Individuals can fi nd the contest at VisitRedDeer.com/BeOurGuest.
“WHAT WE’RE REALLY HOPING IS THAT PEOPLE WILL INVITE THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SHARE
WHAT THEY LOVE ABOUT RED DEER.”

Protecting some of the most vulnerable in our societyElder abuse is one of the most horren-
dous crimes plaguing society today. The thought that many seniors are abused in a number of ways – physically, fi nancially, psychologically, emotionally – and that few of these situations are ever reported, is heartbreaking.
Seniors deserve our care and respect. They’ve worked hard through their lives and it’s unimaginable that some of them are forced to endure their fi nal years in fear. They are often facing so many challenges as it is – illness, increasing frailty, isolation, not to mention the deaths of long-time close friends. It’s a vulnerable season of life, and a time when they should feel safe, valued and protected.
According to Statistics Canada, based on police-reported data, nearly 2,800 seniors aged 65 years and older were the victims of family violence in 2010 (the most recent statistics available). Presented as a rate, the senior population had the lowest risk of violence
compared to any other age group, irrespective of whether the incident involved a family member or someone outside the family.
Overall, seniors were most at risk from friends or acquaintances (73 victims per 100,000 seniors), followed by family mem-bers (61 victims per 100,000) and strangers (51 victims per 100,000). Grown children were most often identifi ed as the perpe-trator of family violence against seniors.
In 2010, the rate of spousal violence for senior women was more than double the male rate (22 versus 10 per 100,000 popula-tion). Senior women were also slightly more likely than senior men to be victimized by their children in 2010 (27 per 100,000 versus 24 per 100,000 population).
June 15th was World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and even though it has passed, it is still a reminder that this is a real issue and we must address it as a society. Even though it is ‘recognized’ only one day a year, it is important to keep this
topic at the forefront of conversations and be proactive in addressing it.
The International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) estab-lished WEAAD on June 15, 2006. Since its inception, organizations from around the world, including governments, community agencies, educational institutions and pro-fessionals in the fi eld of aging, have held events to raise awareness of elder abuse.
Preventing and reducing elder abuse starts with knowledge. Raising awareness can help Albertans understand the factors that contribute to the abuse of older adults, how to recognize abuse and where to go for assistance. Albertans can make a crucial difference in keeping older adults free from abuse and helping those who are abused.
Elder abuse is any action or inaction by self or others that jeopardizes the health or well-being of any older adult and is divided into six categories which include physical, emotional, fi nancial, sexual, medication and
neglect. Elder abuse is often committed by someone known to the victim, such as a family member, friend, or caregiver. Financial and emotional abuse are two of the most frequently reported forms of elder abuse. And one of the most important things to remember is that it can happen to anyone.
According to various research, approxi-mately 4% to 8% of older adults may expe-rience elder abuse, affecting their health, well-being and independence. All members and sectors of society need to work together to end this unacceptable behaviour.
Many of these incidents go unreported, which is a tragedy in itself.
We must take a stand and be a voice for the seniors in our community. Any abuse of any kind is intolerable, but the abuse of a senior is a horrendous act. We can all help to ensure the safety and security of the seniors in our community - even by starting the conversation and spreading the awareness. Every little bit helps.
Every energy source - even renewables - has a downsideWe live in interesting,
‘tipping-point’ times when it comes to energy.
To the upside, people are talking and thinking about energy like never before.
On the downside, people are talking and thinking about energy like never before.
But the notion of ‘tip-ping point’ is a useful lens through which to assess the social, economic and political tensions that defi ne much of this energy talk.
Perhaps the most sym-bolically important tip-ping point is that at which ‘renewables’ will displace or replace fossil fuels as the world’s primary energy source. This isn’t a precise point in time, of course, but rather an as-yet-undefi ned period of transition and transfer. Life on the other side of the tipping point, we’re asked to believe, is about imagining an energy
utopia in which there are no emissions, no pipeline spills and no water pollution – just a world in which renewables power the planet without impact.
The tipping-point meta-phor also provides many threads for deeper analysis. One such is that all energy systems have downsides – and the downside to fossil fuels fans much of the tension that characterizes energy talk. It’s the ‘clean-and-green’ versus the ‘dirty-and-black’ in an all-out fi ght – without constructive conversations about how energy systems that are not
as disparate as fossil fuel foes would have people be-lieve should work together.
The end of the fossil fuel era – and the rise of re-newables – will be neither sudden nor dramatic. The process will stretch over decades, accelerated and slowed by market cycles, technology and policy. It will happen in phases geo-graphically and, as it is with hydrocarbon development, be tied directly to economic development drivers.
But if every energy source has a downside – no matter how benign it appears – what will opposition to the renew-ables look like on the other side of the tipping point?
The practical absence of a downside discussion related to renewables un-fairly skews to the negative what should be constructive discussion around choices and risks. If a system is per-ceived to be downside-free,
it precludes effective discus-sion around how and when different energy sources should interact as part of a transition.
Hydrocarbon extraction and transportation take it on the chin in the trifecta of air, water and land impacts.
Renewables also have a downside in terms of im-pact, but those who try to point that out are marginal-ized, ostracized or forced to speak in such euphemistic ways as to be meaningless. Bluntly, to suggest solar and wind energy have their downsides is to invite a wave of hysterical Twitter shaming.
The result is profound polarization.
But will the grandchildren of the men and women who today oppose fossil fuels rise up against solar, wind and other renewables the same way their grandparents did against oil and gas?
Will they fi nd fault in the massive junkyards of rust-ing, obsolete wind turbines? Will they rail against the massive physical footprints wind and solar farms re-quire? Will the decimation of airborne animals evoke the same impassioned out-rage? Will they resent the government subsidies (paid for through taxes and levies) required to get renewables systems to scale?
All energy sources and distribution systems have side effects that are poten-tially detrimental. ‘Clean and green’ energy sources seen through a life-cycle lens will present a range of challenges likely to draw the same outrage and oppo-sition the oil and gas sector experiences now.
The pejorative concept of the ‘carbon footprint’ will have its future ana-logues - solar footprints and wind footprints will almost
certainly be framed in the negative.
We should learn from the fossil fuels sector’s general failure to frame energy dialogues constructively – a condemnation that in-cludes government – so that future energy discussions anticipate how polarizing tensions can be managed. That would be far better than our current circum-stance of lobbing tired and trite accusations at each other across the tipping point divide.
These are interesting en-ergy times indeed – and only the rear-view mirror will tell us how truly interesting they actually are.
And if we have to wait to look in that mirror, shame on us.

Alberta economic minister outlines provincial
business supports
Minister of Economic Development and Trade Deron Bilous brought Central Alberta Economic Partnership (CAEP) members up to date with provincial ini-tiatives during a City stop last week.
CAEP, one of 11 Regional Economic Development Alliances across Alberta, held its annual general meeting June 16th.
“First of all let me thank you for proving that regional collaboration is the best way to strengthen our economy. CAEP has been doing incredible work in Central Alberta for almost 20 years,” said Bilous, adding the organization has been key to delivering economic programs across the region.
“I’d also like to commend CAEP for the completion of the Tourism Opportunity Identifi cation Project and Invest Central Alberta,” he said. “These two initiatives will support the efforts of communities and strategic partners when it comes to investment attraction, growth and diver-sifi cation for the region.”
The Centre for Innovation and Manufacturing at Red Deer College is another example of a program that offers support, he said.
“The Centre has a mandate to engage local companies and organizations to as-sist in developing a competitive manufac-turing advantage in the region,” he said. “We’re also working with the City of Red Deer and the County to expand the local airport. The expansion will create good jobs, attract new business opportunities and help make this region more econom-ically diverse,” he said.
“The airport is a great example of both the County and the City coming together for a shared purpose. What makes me excited about it is that the benefi ts go far beyond just Red Deer and the County. The expansion of the airport is going to have a signifi cant impact on all communities in Central Alberta.”
Bilous also discussed how the provin-cial economy has undergone tremendous challenges of late, pointing out how the international price of oil has dropped by more than two-thirds. “As a result, the
province has experienced a serious and prolonged shock.
“There’s no question the dramatic drop in the international price of oil is having a signifi cant effect on Alberta families, communities and businesses,” he said, adding that in spite of these challeng-es - including the wildfi res in the Fort McMurray area - Albertans typically show an undeniable resiliency.
Meanwhile, the province is working to come alongside communities, businesses and individuals to bolster economic growth via a number of programs. “While the cur-rent economic situation is testing us all, my ministry staff and I are committed to supporting you and are also committed to economic growth and diversifi cation.”
Bilous said there is a division focused on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises. “Secondly we have a trade and investment attraction division that promotes market export development and investment attraction for the prod-ucts and services that Alberta has to offer.
“Finally, we have a science and innova-tion division that helps position Alberta on the cutting edge of research, innova-tion and commercialization,” he said.
“Through these divisions, the ministry provides Alberta businesses and indus-tries with improved access to services and programs which focus on innovation and investment attraction and market development.”
Bilous said there are also a number of initiatives in place to support small busi-nesses.
“More than 95% of all businesses in the province are small businesses - they are the foundations of our towns and neighbourhoods,” he said. “Whether it’s writing a business plan, accessing legal advice, increasing market capacity, hiring expertise on exporting, more than 260 service providers are available to work with Alberta businesses to contribute to their formation, growth and long-term success,” he said. “I know that CAEP has also been very active in providing key supports for businesses in the region.
“Today’s event helps ensure more Albertans know about these services,” he said.

A look at the history of the CPR bridgeThis year marks an import-
ant milestone in the preser-vation of historic landmarks in our community.
Twenty-fi ve years ago, in 1991, Red Deer City council passed a bylaw designating the old Canadian Pacifi c Railway bridge across the Red Deer River as a munic-ipal historic resource.
The history of this import-ant structure stretches back more than 100 years.
When the Calgary-Edmonton Railway was constructed in 1890-1891, a timber bridge was construct-ed across the Red Deer River.
However, by the early 1900s, with the rapidly grow-ing traffi c along Alberta’s main north-south transpor-tation corridor, it was obvi-ous that a much more sub-stantial bridge was needed.
Work on a new bridge began in the late fall of 1906.
The bases for concrete pillars were installed. Unfortunately, the winter of 1906-07 was one of the worst on record. Hence the bridge piers were not completed.
More progress was made in the summer of 1907. However, with the onset of a brief, but sharp recession in late 1907, there was another pause in construction.
Finally, in April 1908, the CPR announced that con-crete piers would be com-pleted and a substantial steel superstructure would be erected. The estimated
cost of construction was $57,000. To put that sum into context, a very good wage in those days was $1.50 to $2 per day. The project was fi nally completed in March 1909.
There was one recorded death of a laborer employed on the bridge project. James J. Shea died in July 1908 of complications after swim-ming in the Red Deer River.
The bridge quickly had more uses than just a rail link. While the CPR actively discouraged people walk-ing over the bridge, many found it to be a quick and convenient way to cross the river between the City of Red Deer and the Village of North Red Deer.
In the late 1980s, when plans were being carried out to move the CPR main
line to the west side of the City, a decision was made to remove the rail bridge.
However, a dynamic Riverside Meadows resident, Shirley Hocken, kept asking why the bridge needed to be removed. She pointed out how heavily the bridge was used by pedestrians, even when it was not really safe to do so. She also pointed out that it would cost roughly the same to remove the bridge as it would to save it.
Consequently, she spear-headed the Save The Bridge committee to lobby for pres-ervation and to raise the funds necessary to convert the structure into pedestrian and bicycle pathway, linking the Waskasoo Park trails on both sides of the river.
Funds were secured from such sources as
the Waskasoo Museum Foundation, Red Deer Community Foundation, the Recreation Parks and Wildlife Foundation, the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation, Northside Community Association, Royal Canadian Legion, Red Deer and District Chinese Society and numerous pri-vate individuals. A very sig-nifi cant contribution came from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters who donated the labour to construct the bridge decking.
While Red Deer City coun-cil designated the bridge as a municipal historic resource in September 1991, on Oct. 3rd, 1993, the bridge was given further protection as a provincial registered historic site.
Meanwhile, on Sept. 13th,
1992, the bridge was offi cial-ly opened. The $171,500 cost been covered with govern-ment and foundation grants, donations and contributions of volunteer labour. There was also money left over to cover future repairs and maintenance.
In May 2002, the Old CPR Rail Bridge Committee was recognized with Red Deer’s fi rst Heritage Recognition Award.
As should be expected, time and the elements have necessitated new repairs and refurbishment.
Consequently, City council has recently provided funds to complete those repairs and ensure that this his-toric landmark will remain an attractive and well-used link in Red Deer’s popular trail system.

RED DEERIAN INVOLVED IN COCHRANE INCIDENT
A Red Deer man was involved in an early morning incident near Co-chrane.
At 2:30 a.m. June 20th, Cochrane RCMP responded to a report of a ve-hicle fi re just off Hwy. 1 near Hwy. 40.
Upon arrival, RCMP located a partially burned motorhome with one occupant who had escaped the burning motorhome. The male oc-cupant advised police that he awoke to unknown person/persons near his motorhome and it had been set on fi re. The 32-year-old male, from Red Deer, has since been transported to hospital with unknown injuries.
RCMP received assistance from the RCMP Police Dog Service as well as Calgary Police Hawcs Helicopter. To search for possible suspects. The matter is still being investigated, al-though it has been reported that an explosion was heard in the area.
RCMP are asking for public assis-tance in this investigation.
SYLVAN LAKE BOATER DIES
On June 15th shortly before 6 p.m., Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a request for assistance in locating
a missing boater on Sylvan Lake.A male had rented a boat in Sylvan
Lake just prior to noon and was last observed alive at 3:15 p.m. by an em-ployee of the boat rental company. At 4:50 p.m. an employee found the boat abandoned on the north remote shore of Sylvan Lake. An immediate search of the lake was conducted by the RCMP utilizing the RCMP boat.
Within a short period of time the missing boater was located in the water in a remote location. The boat-er was pulled from the lake by mem-bers of the RCMP to a location suit-able for EMS to perform life saving efforts. These attempts were unsuc-cessful and the victim, a 70-year-old male from Alberta was pronounced deceased at the scene. The family has been advised.
The RCMP are assisting the Medi-cal Examiners Offi cer in Calgary as to the cause of this event. At this time, the event is not believed to be sus-picious.
POLICE LOOK FOR WITNESSES
Red Deer RCMP are looking for witnesses to a shooting in Riverside Meadows neighborhood that sent a Red Deer man to hospital with life
threatening injuries last week.At 5:30 p.m. on June 15th, RCMP
responded to a report that a man had been shot on Kerry Wood Mews.
The victim was transported to a Calgary hospital where he is in criti-cal condition.
RCMP continue to investigate and
conduct neighbourhood interviews. Police advise that this shooting was not a random act and at this time there is no risk for public safety.
Police are looking for any witness-es who were in the area of Riverside Meadows near Kerry Wood Mews during this time frame and heard or
saw anything related to this incident. Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect is asked to call the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
Red Deer College experiences technology threat
Red Deer College experienced a technology threat late last week.
RDC’s information technology processes and procedures provided appropriate mitigation to limit the impact of a technology threat experi-enced by Red Deer College June 17th, offi cials have said. This technology threat was a form of ransomware attack, but due to the response of IT Services, the College did not experience a loss of data.
“Because of the quick work of the IT Services team, Red Deer College was able to mitigate the situation prior to reaching the point of having to engage with any external demands,” said Jim Brinkhurst, vice president, College Services and chief fi nancial offi cer.
Within 15 minutes of the technology threat being received, RDC’s IT Services department alerted all employees of the threat, and all RDC
technology access was shut down to help miti-gate the technology threat from spreading.
Brinkhurst added all affected fi les were moved by IT Services immediately into quarantine, so this allowed for the technology threat not to spread to other College data and fi les. The IT Services team also performed in-depth scans of all RDC servers and data fi les throughout the weekend, to ensure the technology threat had not spread.
As a result, during the weekend IT Services was able to provide limited external access for employees and students to use RDC email, the web site and Blackboard (a software used by in-structors and students to share class resources).
Full technology access to software and hard-ware has been restarted, allowing RDC employ-ees and students to resume normal business.

Red Deer Highland Games set to kick off 69th yearBY ZACHARY CORMIERRED DEER EXPRESS
The sound of drums and bagpipes are set to fi ll the air at Titans Rugby Park on Saturday as the 69th annual Red Deer Highland Games get rolling.
Red Deer’s annual cele-bration of Scottish culture will see an array of drum-
mers, dancers, bagpipers and athletes in kilts de-scend on the rugby park to compete in their respec-tive events.
“It’s mostly a festival of Scottish culture and it’s about being able to pass that culture onto our children and all the peo-ple that are in the area,” said Debbie Wallace, the
chairperson of the Red Deer Highland Games Committee.
According to Wallace, this year’s games will fea-ture all of the events that have taken place in previ-ous years, including piping and drumming, dance and the heavy events.
“This year we have 54 pipers competing, 25
drummers and 10 bands and at the end of the day we’re going to have what we call mass band where all 10 of those bands march together and play together on the fi eld and it’s an amazing sight to see and hear,” said Wallace of the piping and drum-ming events, adding the Red Deer Highland Games
will also play host to a large amount of dancers this weekend.
“The dancing compe-tition this year has not quite 450 dancers and we actually have some danc-ers that are coming from Scotland, which is a nor-mal thing to have.”
Dancers compete in eight traditional high-land dances, including the Sword Dance and the Highland Fling.
Then, of course, there are the heavy events, which are a highlight of any Highland Games, Wallace said.
Heavy events held at the Red Deer Highland Games include Putting the Stone, which is a shot put-like competition, Throwing the Weights for Distance, Throwing the Hammer and the Caber Toss, which involves throwing a large log end-over-end and hav-ing it land as close to a straight line as possible from the competitor.
“It’s quite a science with the Caber Toss because they have to toss it and they have to throw it and it has to go end-over-end and measure at 12 o’clock,” said Wallace.
All of the major events at the Highland Games are professional calibre events, meaning that all of the competitors must earn their way to the highest level through the amateur and semi-pro ranks before competing.
“The piping, the drum-ming and the dancing and the heavy events are all of
professional status,” said Wallace, noting that some of the other events that are held at the park through-out the day, such as the Tug O’ War, are non-pro-fessional in nature.
“With the Tug O’ War, we just started that event and it’s been quite a struggle to get it going, so that event is just for the general pub-lic. We invite everybody just to come and have a tug at the rope and just enjoy it.”
Aside from the many competitions that will be going on throughout the day, attendees will also be able to browse through a variety of vendors and sample some tradition-al Scottish foods, such as Haggis.
“If you can actually pic-ture yourself being in Scotland and listening to all of the stuff and feel-ing what all is going on, that’s basically what it is. It’s just like a little piece of Scotland for one day,” Wallace said, adding they are still looking for volun-teers to help out around the grounds on Saturday.
“We’re always looking for volunteers, honestly,” she said.
The 69th annual Red Deer Highland Games get under-way at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning at the Red Deer Titans Rugby Park just out-side of town. Anyone in-terested in volunteering for the event can contact Debbie Wallace by phone or text at 403-350-2506.

ENTERTAINMENTFriends of Foes head to Bo’s next month
There’s a new voice at the fore-front of Saskatoon-based band Friends of Foes, set to perform at Bo’s on July 16th.
Friends of Foes is very excited to announce that prairie song-stress Danielle Huot has joined the band as their new Vocalist (following the departure of longtime band member Celeste Nicholson).
To mark this line-up change, FOF will be embarking on a cross-Canada tour taking place from July 8th-29th, playing ma-terial from their most recent re-lease Faults which was released this past February. They’ll also be playing brand new tunes yet to be offi cially recorded.
The band made a swing through Red Deer earlier this year, and is extra excited to in-troducing Huot to local audienc-es this time around, said guitar-ist Matt Stinn, who also works as a guitar teacher when he isn’t recording or on the road with Friends of Foes.
“We went through western Canada on that tour,” he said during a recent chat. “Overall, the reaction to Faults has been really positive. Everybody was into the new music, and the music videos for the record did really well, too.”
Faults indeed offers listeners a pretty special sonic journey, from the dream-like, simply structured tones of Nowhere to the comparatively snappy and progressive Dance in the Dark. Originality shines through at virtually every turn. Other high-lights include the title track and the project’s fi nal number Diving In.
After that winter tour, it be-came somewhat apparent that Nicholson and the band in gen-eral were going in different di-rections, so the guys started looking for a replacement.
“After a couple of discussions, we came to a full band decision
that Celeste was not really on the same path as us anymore,” he said. “After a little bit of dis-cussion, we decided that our best bet would be to start to looking for a differ-ent singer. After talking and jamming with a few people, we actually started writing and playing music with Danielle. And from there it’s morphed into this,” he explained.
Huot is thrilled to be on-board with the band, and is looking forward to hitting the road with the guys and interpreting their catalogue in fresh new ways.
Looking back, a love for music came relatively early.
“I wrote a lot of lyrics - I didn’t know they were lyrics at
the time - it was poetry,” she said, adding a knack for writing was surfacing back then, too.
She’s also loved singing and harmonizing for years as well, so joining forces with Friends
of Foes has proven a wonderful new step. She said that pret-ty much everything about the
band suits her.“Our writing styles are
very similar, too,” she said. She and Stinn had known of each other for awhile prior to her joining the band - and so far, it’s proven to be a smooth transition for both sides as the new formation continues to gel.
“I had been aware of Friends of Foes - I had liked them on facebook and had listened to their music, so I was aware of them. Matt heard me at an open mic, and liked my voice.
“I want to travel Canada with them - they are great guys just to be with,” she said, adding it’s
fantastic being able to just do what she loves to do as well.
Having already shared the stage with Canadian heavy-weights We Are The City, Royal Canoe, Rah Rah, Zerbin and Saskatoon bands such as Slow Down Molasses, The Young Benjamins, Acronyms, Gunner and Smith, Castle River, The Classy Chassys, and many more, Friends of Foes has the stage presence to back up their bois-terous sound.
Rounding out the group are Keegan Stretch on drums and back-up vocals and Anthony Nickel on bass and back-up vo-cals.
Collaboratively, the four mem-bers of the band write all the original material that the band performs.
Before work on Faults began, Friends of Foes released Winter in October of 2014. The release of Winter saw Friends of Foes gain-ing ground on local and national community/college radio, as well as on the top of the indie charts for Canada at ReverbNation.
Having already shared the stage with some of Canada’s best bands, topping numerous ‘Best Of’ lists with their debut Chronophobic, Friends of Foes is also described as a relentlessly hard working band set on carv-ing a name for themselves in Canadian music through endless touring and a powerful press presence.
Chronophobic was largely born from collaboration amongst the group on virtually every level. Songs tend to grow from ses-sions of just exploring various sounds, melodies and lyrical ideas.
Meanwhile, they’re keeping very busy taking their music to the masses.
“We’ll be doing Vancouver and back, then we have four days off and it’s out to Montreal and back,” said Stinn.
“Typically we do between 60 and 70 shows a year right now.”
“OVERALL, THE REACTION TO FAULTS HAS BEEN REALLY POSITIVE. EVERYBODY WAS INTO THE NEW MUSIC, AND THE MUSIC VIDEOS FOR THE
RECORD DID REALLY WELL, TOO.”

Annual Gospel Music Celebration set for CentriumGospel music fans will soon
be streaming to the Centrium to hear some of the fi nest artists in the genre today as Canada’s Gospel Music Celebration runs July 7th - 9th.
Events kick off Thursday.The box offi ce opens at 4 p.m.
as does the exhibit hall, with cel-ebration concerts running from 6 to 11 p.m.
Featured groups this year in-clude The Hoppers, the Jim Brady Trio, the Tribute Quartet, Greater Vision, Roset, Potters Clay, the Freedom Singers, Double Portion, Southern Raised, the Triumphant Quartet and the Amundruds among others.
The Amundruds combine their light-hearted, down to earth hu-mour with songs from their latest release Sweetest Sound which fea-tures modern country/pop songs combined with faith-based lyrics.
According to their web site, they throw in a mix of some of their original music, some well-known Gospel songs or hymns and always feature Daryl Amundrud on at least one dynamic and powerful piano solo each night.
Multi-award winning family group The Hoppers have been singing to global audiences for over 55 years with appearances ranging from presidential religious inaugural ceremonies and New York’s Carnegie Hall to singing conventions and church platforms.
Known as America’s Favourite Family of Gospel Music, they are favourites on the Gaither Homecoming videos and tours, and their recordings frequently land at the top of the Billboard sales charts and The Singing News radio charts.
Comprised today of family members Claude and Connie, son Dean and his wife, Kim, and son Mike Hopper, The Hoppers were formed in 1957 in the rural-farm town of Madison, North Carolina and have grown continuously for decades, touching countless lives around the world.
Organizers have described the Gospel Music Celebration as having an uptown, camp-meet-ing feel to it which leans heavily to ministry and a church service environment as well.
Morning chapel runs Friday and Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. with Leon Throness in the Parkland Pavilion with musical guests the Jim Brady Trio on Friday and the Triumphant Quartet on Saturday.
Another popular group returning this year is Greater Vision which has inspired audiences for a quar-ter century with their rich vocal blend and their effective ability to communicate the message of the gospel.
According to their web site, they have established a fi rm place at the pinnacle of Christian music, and
have become the most awarded trio in the history of Gospel music.
“The vocals and rich harmony Greater Vision has become rec-ognized for are the result of the blending of three unique and versatile vocalists. Gerald Wolfe, the group’s founder, sings the lead and serves as emcee. Prolifi c songwriter, Rodney Griffi n, han-dles the baritone part for the trio, while Chris Allman, also a prolifi c writer, sings the tenor.”
Greater Vision is heard daily by listeners of traditional Christian radio, as well as Satellite and Internet radio. They are also seen regularly on the In Touch television
program, hosted by Dr. Charles Stanley, and on the Gaither Gospel Series.
Members of the Freedom Singers, Simon Ivascu, Steven Ivascu and Wesley Pop, fl ed Romania when they were only teenagers.
In Romania, their native land, at that time, all young men, upon completing high school, were forced to join the army. Being con-scientious Christians, they could not join the army because freedom of worship was totally restricted. Refusing to join would result in several years of imprisonment and persecution.
According to their web site,
determined to escape to free-dom, they all faced danger and hardships fl eeing from Romania to Italy, but Ivascu and Pop’s nightmare began in earnest when they crawled into a container, were then locked and sealed, and placed aboard a container vessel.
“There they spent two weeks in total darkness as they baked in the heat for days before being loaded onto the ship, headed to an unknown destination. They ran out of food, water, oxygen and hope.”
But the men say that God pro-vided another of many miracles in this incredible real life story of faith and perseverance in the face of insurmountable odds.
This trio has been singing since their days in Italy shortly after fl eeing Romania. Ivascu recalls, “We were singing mostly hymns together, back when we were in Italy, but we started to sing Southern Gospel music in 2000, after we heard the Gaithers and the Cathedrals on television. It was a sound that we instantly fell in love with.
“After singing at local churches and telling our story, it was sug-gested to actually give our group a name the ‘Freedom Singers’.”

CAST AWAY - Matthew Yan cast his line into Mitchell Pond at Heritage Ranch last weekend during the Kids Can Catch event hosted by the Red Deer and District Safari Club International. Zachary Cormier/Red Deer Express
Are you getting enough Vitamin D?Vitamin D is one of the few
vitamins your body can make on its own (with help from the sun). Letting your skin be exposed to the sun just 30 minutes, twice a week, will provide your body with 90% of the Vitamin D it needs for good health. But are you outdoors that often? With the scare of sunburn, wrinkles, and skin cancer and the type of lifestyle many live these days (especially in the winter), most people hide indoors away from the sun and don’t get enough Vitamin D.
Combine lack of sun exposure with the fact very few foods naturally contain Vitamin D, and you have a recipe for vitamin defi ciency. What’s the purpose of Vitamin D and how can you make sure you’re getting enough? Should you take a supplement? You’re about to fi nd out.
The main job of Vitamin D is
to help the body absorb calcium. Calcium, as you know, works to build and maintain strong bones. Children who don’t get enough Vitamin D are at risk for rickets (soft bones) and defi cient adults may develop brittle or misshapen bones and are at risk for osteo-porosis.
In addition to bone health, Vitamin D plays a role in your immune and neuromuscular sys-tems, the life cycle of cells, and the reduction of infl ammation. While more research and evidence are needed, a lack of Vitamin D has been associated with many other issues, including weight gain, de-
pression, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and heart disease. Vitamin D may help treat or prevent diabetes, autoimmune disease, depression, autism, pain, cancer, heart disease, and neuro-muscular diseases.
There are three ways you can get Vitamin D. The best way is how nature intended—through sunlight. When bare skin is touched by sunlight, it produces Vitamin D. Because of the dangers of overexposure to UV rays from the sun, however, you need to be vigilant against sunburns. How much Vitamin D your body is able to produce from the sun depends on where you live, the time of day, the color of your skin, how long you’re exposed, and how much skin is exposed.
Few foods naturally contain Vitamin D, but several foods are fortifi ed with it. Vitamin D is
found in wild-caught salmon, mackerel, mushrooms, cod liver oil, egg yolks, cheese, tuna packed in water, sardines packed in oil, and beef liver. These days many milks, cereals, yogurts, and orange juices are fortifi ed with vitamin D. Since these foods contain only small amounts of Vitamin D, it’s very hard to get enough of this important vitamin if foods are your only source.
Supplements are your third source of Vitamin D and are a good option if you’re concerned you’re not getting enough. The most recommended type of sup-plement is vitamin D3. Available in tablets or capsules, this form of Vitamin D is made from fi sh liver oil or sheep’s wool.
While health experts disagree on the amount of Vitamin D you need, the Institute of Medicine recommends that unless you’re
getting enough sun exposure, kids over the age of nine and adults 70 and under should get at least 600 IU of Vitamin D a day but less than 4,000 IU/day. Adults age 71 and older should get at least 800 IU/day.
One cup of Vitamin D-fortifi ed milk provides 25% of your daily recommendations. Four ounces of wild-caught salmon contain over 500 IU, and one egg provides 43 IU, or 10% of your daily recom-mendations.
If you’re concerned you’re not getting enough Vitamin D in your diet or through the sun, a simple blood test can help determine your levels. If you’re defi cient, a supplement may be just what you need.

How readers would treat 42,000 addictsEureka!Last week I reported it was im-
possible to write this column. I had asked readers to respond to how I believe 42,000 addicts on methadone should be treated. Then my computer developed terminal cancer and I thought all your responses had been lost. Fortunately, the ‘Geek Squad’ resurrected them.
From a Times Colonist reader, “Your suggestion that sending addicts to northern Canada to chop wood caught my eye. I was impressed by your research. The addicts I have known have no in-terest in getting off methadone and improving themselves. I say, enough of this nonsense. Why not have them chop wood? We all do some form of work to eat.”
This reader then added, “I initially believed that the prac-tice of hanging drug dealers in Singapore was too extreme. But on further thought I’d hang them myself if they gave heroin to my healthy innocent granddaugh-ters.”
BL writes, “I have been em-ployed as a correctional offi cer since 1980. In those days her-oin addicts would be placed in the medical unit without meth-adone. They had a few painful days, but were then back to nor-mal. You are right that doctors see a fi nancial windfall and will not stop using methadone. The whole system is wasting taxpay-ers’ money and the government seems oblivious to it.”
BR says, “I don’t reply to col-umns, but feel compelled this time. I strongly disagree with methadone clinics and our per-missive attitude to drug lords. In yesterday’s newspaper, the Philippine president elect urged the public to kill drug dealers. I’m friends with many police offi cers who say our system is
broken in favour of the bad guys. I say thugs should be put on display at City Hall. Your article hits an important issue that we must all be responsible for our actions.”
From Thunder Bay, “Bravo to your article. The drug industry will be mortifi ed by this column. Methadone is just swooping one drug for another. As you stated no one has died from drug with-drawal, but millions have died from drug usage. Keep up the good work.”
PD says, “My wife and I al-ways look forward to your col-umns. I met the director of the Vancouver Narcotics Addiction Foundation who explained the methadone program to me. It has always seemed absurd to me. It’s just a legal dependency being substituted for an illegal addiction. I’m pleased you have blown the whistle”.
From Courtney, B.C. “We agree 100 per cent with your opinion. We don’t try to cure alcoholics with free liquor and the same reasoning should apply to drug addiction which taxpayers are forced to pay. And my thanks to all the good medical advice you pass along.”
But I was taken to task by some readers. H.M. says, “I read with dismay your recent col-umn. What has happened to your compassion? Is your solu-tion punishment for every ad-diction, alcohol, cigarettes, food? Wouldn’t the doctor’s credo of ‘Do no harm’ apply to addic-tion?”
Another writes, “Punishing
drug addicts is a very outdated theory. Addiction is a disease of the brain. Punishment should be doled out to doctors who carelessly write opiate prescrip-tions.”
W.T. says, “I enjoy the wis-dom of your columns. But I was disappointed to discover a fas-cist streak in your personality. Like a la Hitler and probably Trump, you are not a supporter of human rights. Personally I believe drug use should be le-
galized and if anyone steps over the line they then face the crim-inal system, and yes chop wood. Having said this, keep up your excellent column, warts and all.”
The column certainly rang a bell as some readers sent me 800 word replies.
The majority deplored today’s politically correct actions of of-fering free drugs, needles, plac-es to shoot up and promoting the victim, ‘poor you’ mentality. Others were amazed that 42,000
addicts were being treated with methadone in a single province at great expense.
Still others were appalled at seeing addicts lined up at their local drug store to get their daily fi x.
I would like to thank those who took the time to respond. And, of course, my thanks to the Geek Squad for saving the day .

SPORTSBilton looks to earn CFR birth after tough Innisfail RodeoBY ZACHARY CORMIERRED DEER EXPRESS
It wasn’t exactly the ride that Dylan Bilton had in mind for his hometown rodeo when he jumped aboard Kesler Rodeo’s Starburst on Friday night at the Innisfail Pro Rodeo at the Daines Rodeo Ranch.
Last season, Bilton fi nished his home-town rodeo in a 3-4-5 split with Colin Adams and Matt Lait, but it wasn’t to be this year.
“I knew it was a good horse and I didn’t want to mess it up. He kind of just had one of those stutter steps there at the be-ginning and I kind of stubbed my toe the fi rst couple of jumps,” said the bareback rider, who managed to post a qualifi ed ride on the horse but wasn’t able to crack the leaderboard.
“I felt like I fi nished off the ride real good but just wasn’t quite enough points to win it.”
Bilton, who hails from Red Deer County just outside of Innisfail, is making a strong push to qualify for his fi rst Canadian Finals Rodeo as a pro this season after fi nishing just shy of the top 15 cut off last year, ending the season in 19th place just $3,000 out of the 15th spot.
“I feel better this year than I did last year. I feel stronger, I feel like I’m riding better. So I defi nitely want to get to all of the rodeos I can and make sure I get there this year,” said the former Canadian Novice Bareback runner-up.
For Bilton, that means getting to as many rodeos as possible between now and November, when the CFR gets under-way in Edmonton, including his home-town rodeo in Innisfail.
“It’s real nice. You always want to try a little extra hard because you don’t want to mess up in front of everyone you know,” laughed Bilton about competing in front of his hometown crowd.
Despite the tough ride in Innisfail, Bilton has been making some waves in the bare-back standings so far this year, currently sitting in ninth place with $2,632.28 in the early rodeo this year.
“I’ve been trying to hit all of the rodeos and see if I can make enough money to make the CFR. I’ve made a few cheques here and there. I was hoping in Innisfail to do a little bit better than I did but that’s alright. There’s always more rodeos next weekend.”
This year’s Innisfail rodeo was a good one that featured good crowds, good
weather and some really great rodeo action.
“It went really well. We had really, really amazing weather and without the weath-er you can’t get the crowds. But we had the crowds and the weather so we lucked out this weekend,” said Denver Daines, one of the organizers of the rodeo.
The weekend featured four performanc-es and included some of the top cowboys and cowgirls in the world competing in nearly every major rodeo event.
“Our rodeo is pretty well known to have really good bucking horses and some of the top cowboys that come up. We had some great matchups,” Daines said.
Among those roughstock match-ups were bullrider Ty Pankowitz’s 86 point ride on the Calgary Stampede’s Uptown Funk to win that event, defend-ing Canadian Champion bareback rider Caleb Bennet putting on a 87.5 point ride aboard Imperial Beach from Kesler Championship Rodeo, and, one of the highlights of the weekend, 2008 Canadian Champion saddle bronc rider Dusty Hausauer riding the Calgary Stampede’s Stampede Warrior to an 86 point ride to claim the top prize.
It was the second year in a row that Innisfail’s top prize was won aboard Stampede Warrior.
“It was a great rodeo. We have some of the best stock contractors in Canada and you’re going to see good rides like that,” Daines said.
Other champions crowned last weekend were Dallas Frank, who put up a time of 4.4 seconds to win the steer wrestling, Steele Dapoli and Kasper Roy, who won the team roping with a time of 5.7 sec-onds, Rhen Richard, who put up a time of 8.4 seconds in Thursday night’s slack to win the tie-down roping, and Cayla Melby, who just barely beat her mother, Jane Melby’s time of 15.778 seconds with a time of 15.634 seconds to win the barrel racing.

Renegades soccer not phased by slow startBY ZACHARY CORMIERRED DEER EXPRESS
A slow start to the season isn’t the end of the world to the Red Deer Renegades soccer team, who are off to an 0-3-0 start to the 2016 Alberta Major Soccer League season.
Red Deer’s highest level women’s soccer team is in rebuilding mode this season after losing several key players to NCAA and CIS scholarships in the off season last year.
“We’re building things up and there’s lots of improvement and lots of room to improve,” said Renegades’ Head Coach Paul Morigeau, adding that while the
results have not gone their way over the past three games, there is still lots to be optimistic about.
“Results-wise we’ve lost our games but every game we seem to be in it longer and we have better spells of play. We’re just trying to put it all together.”
It hasn’t been easy for the Renegades, though. After joining the elite league last season and competing at a high level, the Renegades lost a two key players, including starting goalkeeper Anne Marie Ulliac, to NCAA scholarships this year and lost several others to CIS programs and rival squads.
In fact, according to Morigeau, about 13
of the 18 main squad players are new to major league.
“There’s lots of young players and other players that are inexperienced and they’re learning how diffi cult the top level is. But that’s our program, that’s the way it works,” Morigeau said, adding starting fresh is not entirely uncommon for the Red Deer team.
In larger centres like Calgary and Edmonton, this isn’t the case because players with scholarships who play at the university level tend to stick around and play for their local club team during the off season. The two larger centres also have a much bigger area that they can draw talent from, which also plays a role.
But that doesn’t mean the Red Deer team hasn’t been able to impress at points throughout the fi rst three games.
“We’re keeping the ball better. In soccer that’s nine-tenths of the law, to keep pos-session and get the ball moved up the fi eld. It’s diffi cult to do but it’s getting better. We’re keeping it more, we’re getting good opportunities to score, which is important,” said Morigeau.
The only problem has been fi nishing off those scoring plays, as the Red Deer side has yet to score a goal.
“We’re getting the ball inside the 18, we’re getting breakaways and open nets. But we’re not putting them in, so that’s kind of the downside of it. But if you’re not even getting opportunities there’s less room for hope. So there’s lots of room for hope, we’ve just got to bear down and our younger players have got to just fi nd the time to get used to having less time and having stronger players against them.”
Last weekend, he said, was a perfect
example of this as the Renegades hosted Edmonton Northwest United at Edgar Park on Saturday.
“They’re a very strong team. The fi rst half we weren’t really competing as well as we needed to against them. They’re very physical and their players really move the ball quickly. The second they win the ball they’ve got players going and we just weren’t reacting in our transition quickly enough,” said Morigeau, adding his team responded well in the second half.
“We made some good adjustments in the second half. The fi rst half they scored four and in the second half they just scored one. We still were getting good opportunities to score but we kind of put ourselves in a hole. We came out of that game, based on the second half, pretty confi dent.”
Morigeau said the next step is to con-tinue working with the players and get in a position to start fi nishing some of those chances.
“You make a list of things that you need to work on. Every game there’s a list and sometimes, as it goes, your list gets a bit shorter. There’s no shortcuts. Basic defend-ing, individual defending, team defending, possession of the ball. All those little things that we really can’t take for granted that the other teams can,” he said, adding the players, many of who played and excelled at the high school level this year, are responding well.
“We’re not unhappy at all. It’s the way it goes and we accept that. The players know what they’re getting in for. Most of the teams we play, their bench is full of university and AA players and we’re proud to compete with them.”
Gotta love draft week. It’s like Christmas for sports reporters. Seven days after the Stanley Cup fi nal where there are no pesky hockey games to get in the way of pointless speculation about who’s going to pick who.
With six of the seven Canadian NHL teams pick-ing in the top 10 at the NHL Entry Draft on Friday, (and the Ottawa Senators picking 12th) my Twitter feed has been fi lled to bursting with breakdowns and analysis of which prospect each team will pick or whether they’ll even keep their pick at all.
So with that in mind, I’d like to give my two cents on how I think Alberta’s two teams, the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames, should approach draft day.
Hey, I never said I was above the pointless spec-ulation.
Let’s start with the Flames, who have the sixth overall pick this year.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to fi gure out that Calgary’s biggest need right now is goaltending. With Kari Ramo, Jonas Hiller and Joni Ortio all gone this off season, the Flames are without a starting goalie and a reliable backup, not an ideal situation.
But overshadowed by Calgary’s need for a back stopper more reliable
than a Shooter Tutor is their need for size on the wing.
At present, the Flames have some of the most skilled young players in the NHL with Sam Bennett, Sean Monahan and, of course, Johnny Gaudreau.
That’s all well but the biggest of those players is Monahan at 6’3”, 195 lbs. When you put them up against a player like Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks, who weighs in at 6’4”, 221 lbs., you’re gonna have a bad time.
Luckily, there are a cou-ple of good options for Calgary in this year’s draft. Alexander Nylander comes to mind as a skilled forward, but he’s pretty small. Then there’s Pierre-Luc Dubois, the likely fi fth overall pick. He would be a great fi t on the Flames but it’s un-likely that the Vancouver Canucks, who hold the fi fth overall, will pass on him.
That leaves Matthew Tkachuck of the London Knights (6’2”, 188 lbs.), whose outstanding perfor-
mance at the MasterCard Memorial Cup this year all but guaranteed that he’d go fourth overall and the presumptive third overall pick in Jesse Puljujärvi who, at this point, will be heading to Columbus.
So the way forward for the Flames is pretty clear - they need to trade up if they want to maximize the highest draft pick they’ve had in recent years.
Now for the Oilers, who hold the fourth overall pick - trade it and get some defensive help.
This is the only way for-ward for Edmonton, who have been great offensively thanks to four fi rst overall picks in the last fi ve years but who have been, to put it charitably, not that great on defense.
If Edmonton wants a veteran defender, they’ll likely be able to fi nd one by trading down out of the top 10. They can then use the later draft pick to select one of the phenomenal young defenders that are available later in the fi rst round like Olli Juolevi of the Knights or Jake Bean from the Calgary Hitmen.
The NHL Entry Draft takes place this Friday in Buffalo, New York with the Toronto Maple Leafs picking fi rst overall.

HOMES & LIVING
Remembering home décor from years gone byI have just fi nished cleaning my car. It
was a beast of a job getting everything out and put away into the shed. Between the real estate signs and dog paraphernalia I had to make quite a few trips! My best friends from high school are travelling to Alberta this week from far and wide and I need to make room for the luggage (mine included) that will be piled into my vehi-cle while we road trip to our old stomping grounds. It’s a 30-year-old version of us bombing around as teenagers which will start with a pit stop for Coke slurpees.
Our lives have taken different paths and have moved us to various parts of North America so the act of us coming together is no easy feat. One girlfriend’s mom and dad still live back home so it will be wonderful to visit them and remember the days of making Kraft Dinner in her mom’s kitchen. All the rest of our childhood homes have been sold and inhabited by new families
and most of them (thanks to my access to MLS listings) have been re-decorated and confi gured for the new owners.
When you are young, it is hard to imag-ine living anywhere but your home. Your room and your house are the defi nition of your world and you feel safe and secure in your family home. When I remember my family home and the awful basement space where we would watch TV I only have wonderful memories of the time spent there and not the lack of décor or even carpet in that 100-year-old cellar. The need for every space to be completed and beautiful is a trend which has be-
come more popular in the past 30 years as I remember most of my friends’ homes having unfi nished or partially fi nished basements.
Most of us will remember our childhood homes with fondness and memories will reach out and touch us at the most unex-pected times. For me, it is certain smells like cinnamon buns or walking by a lady who wears the same perfume as my mom used to. Those fragrances whip me back and I can vividly recall every detail of the kitchen or my parents bedroom. The wallpaper, carpet and even the texture of the cabinets and wood trim is all clearly visualized and I smile because the décor of the 70s would certainly make me frown and immediately renovate.
Do you remember your childhood home and how things were decorated? Perhaps you had crazy gold and black wallpaper or red and green shag carpet and just
maybe you were lucky enough to have a bathroom adorned with blue or pur-ple toilets and tubs, just to make things funky. Kitchen and bathroom carpet were a staple and usually came in bright and dizzying patterns which were created to hide dirt and stains. That memory makes almost everyone cringe!
I hope that you have wonderful and nostalgic images of your childhood home in your head and that you are able to revisit the happy times when a memo-ry is triggered. We didn’t care how ugly the carpet was when we sat down in our equally ugly pajamas on Christmas morning. It’s more pleasant to recall the delicious cookies baking than to wince at the crumbs which would inevitably dis-appear in the shag carpet.
