The Red Deer and District SPCA
is chalked full of animals who
are awaiting adoption and offi -
cials are turning to the public for help.
“We are absolutely plum full,” said
Tara Hellewell, executive director of
the SPCA. “We have dogs doubled up
in kennels. It puts a big strain on our
facility. We have animals in spaces that
are necessarily set up for them. Our
facility is designed for a specifi c num-
ber of animals, but if animals have
been abandoned at our door – which
has been the case – we don’t euthanize
here. Because we don’t euthanize, we
work off a waiting list. When we are at
capacity and people drop animals off, it
puts in a really bad position,” she said.
“We have animals everywhere right
now – safely obviously – but we are un-
der a lot of pressure.”
Currently, the SPCA is housing more
than 50 dogs and 160 cats in care – all
of who are ready to fi nd their forever
homes. “We are rarely this full. I would
say in the last two years we have only
been this full once,” said Hellewell.
The Red Deer and District SPCA
normally sees less dogs at their facil-
ity. Hellewell said she attributes the
high number of dogs at the SPCA to
the Milk River seizure situation earlier
this year.
“For the Milk River dogs, we had
them in care for about three or four
months and we didn’t really have the
ability to adopt them out because we
had to go through some medical issues
and challenges,” said Hellewell.
“We still do have four Milk River
dogs for adoption but they are special
cases – two are a bonded pair and the
other two require homes that are going
to have a little more understanding of
their needs. They cannot go to a home
with kids because they are still really
nervous and they will take a lot of time
to get to know you – but when they do,
they are amazing.”
As well, the SPCA’s overall adoption
numbers are down this year by about
80 adoptions.
Hellewell said Alberta’s economy
has also played a part in the large vol-
ume of animals at the SPCA.
“The economy is starting to affect
people’s ability to care for their ani-
mals. Maybe they have to relocate for
a job and they can’t take the animal
with them. If the oilfi eld starts to shut
down, people are going to be relocat-
ing. We are starting to feel the effects
of the economy,” she said.
In addition, Hellewell added fund-
raising for the organization is expected
to be tougher than normal this coming
year – also due to the downturn in the
economy.
“We are going to have to tighten our
belts. We do have some money in the
bank thankfully from bequests to help
see us through that. Right now, we are
right on target on budget and our year-
end is at the end of September,” she
said. “We will defi nitely be budgeting
very cautiously for the coming year
knowing that the oilfi eld hasn’t picked
up and knowing that we are going to be
seeing more animals as a result of that
and less donations.”
In terms of needs from the commu-
nity, Hellewell said she asks Central
Albertans to consider adopting an ani-
mal.
“We have puppies from time to time
but we ask that people consider adopt-
ing a pet that is a little older. We know
that a lot of our dogs can’t go home
with small children – and that is a chal-
lenge for us,” she said. “The advantage
of adopting with the SPCA, especially
with cats, is that the spay or neuter
surgery is already done, they are vac-
cinated and they are health checked
and a lot of them have had the dental
work done already, which can be very
expensive.”
Hellewell said the SPCA is also in
need of volunteers for a variety of
tasks including dog walking, stress
busting, cat cuddling, helping with
laundry and helping to sort through
donations in the garage at the SPCA.
“Cat litter is always something that
we are in need of. We spend a lot of
money on cat litter – we don’t tend to
get it donated.”
Meanwhile, the SPCA has a fund-
raising event coming up in November.
‘Raise the Woof’ will take place Nov.
21st at Westerner Park. The SPCA is
also looking for sponsors for the event.
“We’ve got a new format for the eve-
ning. We still have the great HBO Com-
edy Central comedians coming in. We
also have a fi ve-piece band that will be
playing music into the night.
“We are hoping that this event will
attract the corporate Christmas party.
It’s a real fun night of getting together,
having great music and some danc-
ing.”
Tickets are $100 a piece or $680 for a
table of eight. For more information,

342-7722.
TAKING A REST – Red Deer and District SPCA Executive Director Tara Hellewell and rescue dog Tommy take a moment in front of the new memorial tree at the facility, installed to remember Freda Marie Blair, who donated over $1 million to the SPCA through her will after her passing.

More overnight shelter spaces will be
made available at People’s Place this win-
ter after City council approved additional
funding.
Council gave the green light to fund
$45,427 which will allow Safe Harbour So-
ciety to add an extra 11 shelter spaces to
the existing 35 beds.
The funds will cover a full-time staff po-
sition 12 hours a day/night, seven days a
week from Nov. 1st to April 30th.
Funding for this overnight component
of the Winter Emergency Response is
available through the province’s Outreach
and Support Services grant administered
by the City.
“This will help with our need,” said Kath
Hoffman, executive director of Safe Har-
bour Society.
Last month, City council turned down
an application for a temporary daytime
warming centre to open at 4934 – 54th Ave.
for the next two winters – something that
is much needed in the community. Hoff-
man said she is hopeful another location
can be approved soon.
“The need for the warming centre is pri-
marily because we don’t have day shelter
in this City.
“That warming centre through those
winter months enables us to get people in
from the cold,” said Hoffman. “Of course
we know we need that and we know that
everybody in this community knows we
need that – that’s never a question. Cer-
tainly every councillor knows we need
that and agrees that we need that. This is
a short-term solution to a long-term need
and Safe Harbour is dedicated to working
on that long-term need.
“I think in the complexity of fi nding us a
location, we struggle.
“Although we were disappointed that
fi rst location was not accepted by council,
we have been working really hard with the
City to explore other options.”
Hoffman said she hopes the community
can overcome the stigma that sometimes
comes along with homelessness.
“It is a reality and we understand it. At
Safe Harbour we try and do our best to
help the problem.
“We can’t eliminate the problem but we
try and help. I think that is where some-
times people get stuck – they see here
comes Safe Harbour and maybe they are
going to bring problems with them but
they fail to see sometimes that the prob-
lem is already there – we challenge them
to think beyond the problem to realize that
we may be able to help,” she added.
“I totally understand when businesses
have these issues on the doorstep – to
think past that to here is a program and
staff that can help – that is what we have to
try and show them when we come and we
work hard to do that.”
Meanwhile, City council also approved
additional funding in the amount of
$125,000 to extend the Youth Housing First
program which is operated by McMan
Central for a period of 10 months from
Sept. 8th to June 30th of next year.
The funding will come from the Out-
reach and Support Services Initiative
grant.
The Youth Housing First program is a
pilot program for homeless youth between
the ages of 16-24. The duration of the pi-
lot project originally approved by council
was for the time period of Sept. 8th, 2014 to
Sept. 7th, 2015.
The project at the time of evaluation had
housed six youth through the program –
fi ve males and one female. Clients’ housing
situation immediately prior to intake were
characterized by signifi cant histories of
housing instabilities.
Offi cials have said one client indicated
to living on the streets since they were
13-years-old.
The six youth are being housed in two
homes being leased by McMan Central.
Each home has a live-in mentor and all
the clients are connected to an outreach
worker.
Red Deer City council approved the
funding to extend the pilot project.

Gord Bamford wins big at CCMAs
BY ZACHARY CORMIERRed Deer Express
A local country singer
has earned himself nation-
al acclaim at this year’s
Canadian Country Music
Association awards in Hal-
ifax this past Sunday.
Gord Bamford of La-
combe brought home three
of the six CCMA awards he
was nominated for during
the Association’s awards
show at the Scotiabank
Centre in Halifax.
“I’m actually really
shocked that I’m stand-
ing up here and that I’ve
received these awards,”
Bamford said during a
post-show press confer-
ence. Bamford added be-
cause he’s currently work-
ing on a new album he
didn’t expect to win many
awards this time around.
“I didn’t feel any pressure
coming into these awards. I
was just coming in here as a
fan to take part in it.”
Bamford hauled in the
award for Male Artist of
the Year, and Single of the
Year for his song Where a
Farm Used To Be. He also
brought in the award for
Songwriter of the Year for
Where a Farm Used to Be,
an honour that he shared
with co-writers Buddy Ow-
ens and Phil O’Donnell.
“Every time it happens
it’s like the best thing
ever,” Bamford said.
He added because there
is so much talent in Cana-
dian country music, he al-
ways does his best to soak
it all in. “I’m just trying to
keep on my toes and do the
best I can because there’s
a bunch of them coming
up behind that are going to
have their time and their
moment and my moment
will be gone.”
The three awards bring
Bamford’s total to 19 since
he won his fi rst one in 2008.
The country singer was
also nominated for the
Fan’s Choice Award, Video
of the Year and Producer
of the Year this year.
During the show, Bam-
ford debuted a new single
called Don’t Let Her be
Gone, which is the fi rst
song off his upcoming al-
bum. The new album is set
to be released in 2016.
“I wish I could say that I
wrote that song but I didn’t
but I’m very blessed that
I’m the guy that gets to re-
cord it because I think that
it could be the biggest song
of my career to date,” he
said about the new single.
During his time in Hali-
fax, Bamford donated
$10,000 to the IWK Health
Centre’s Child Life Music
Therapy program. His Gord
Bamford Foundation raised
a total of $508,000 during his
annual Charity Golf Classic
in Lacombe last month.

Offering a consultative approach to
fashion for today’s modern woman, per-
sonalized service, quality clothing, ac-
cessories & footwear is what Owner/
Operator Michele Bilsborrow and staff at
Cheeky Coutures Boutique prides them-
selves on.
Cheeky Coutures Boutique not only of-
fers high-end designer clothing, accesso-
ries & footwear but also personal fashion
consultations by appointment where you
discover your fashion personality, body
type, unique fashion forward garments
& accessories that will have you stand-
ing taller and taking on your world with
a whole new attitude! After all, “Life is
complicated….Getting Dressed should be
simple!”
Certifi ed shopaholic, trained Fashion/
Image Consultant & Owner/Operator
Michele Bilsborrow & staff bring 20 plus
years of experience in helping women
solve their fashion dilemmas.
“The gift I was given in life is the ability
to dress women. Through many careers
it became clear that my passion was em-
powering women through fashion. With
now over 20 years in the industry I have
honed that natural ability and brought
that knowledge and experience to the
Red Deer Marketplace. “I love teaching
women how to dress for who they are,
their lifestyle, age, body type and fash-
ion personality. This in turn reduces
graveyard purchases (things we buy and
never wear), boosts self-confi dence, and
removes that frustrating experience we
have all had of shopping for hours and
fi nding nothing plus allows women to
fall in love with fashion again and most
importantly, themselves.
“Once they understand what
their body type is and what their
fashion personality is plus a
few tweaks, tips & tricks, the
magic happens – they be-
come empowered by fashion.
When we look good, we feel
good & when we feel good we
do life better.”
Before opening the Cheeky
Coutures Boutique storefront,
where anyone is welcome to shop
Tuesday through Saturday, Bilsborrow
developed a fashion consultation busi-
ness in 2010 called Cheeky Coutures
Fashion Consulting Services.
“At that time we were by personal ap-
pointment only and we booked a consul-
tation with our clients. We assessed them
based on our formula which is assessing
their body type and fashion personality. We
married that with their lifestyle and com-
plimented that with designer fashions.”
Earlier this year, Cheeky Coutures
Boutique opened in Red Deer, as Bilsbor-
row saw a need in the market for not
only customized and personal service,
but quality clothing, accessories and foot
wear as well.
“Now our customers can shop at their
leisure Tuesday through Saturday and al-
ways have knowledgeable, interested and
engaged staff helping them. Or if they are
thinking that a full fashion consultation
is something that they would like to expe-
rience, they have the opportunity to
book a two-hour personal fashion
consultation and right now we
offer those on Mondays.”
She added Cheeky Coutures
Boutique specializes in help-
ing the mature woman.
“Although our youngest
customer is 13 and our old-
est 96 our specialty is that
40-plus contemporary ma-
ture woman. We do this be-
cause this is where change
really starts to happen in
life. Body changes, career
changes, kids are growing
up and they are rediscov-
ering who they are, or they
are retiring and are start-
ing to travel or perhaps have gained or
lost weight, or are fi nding that they are
questioning if what is available in main
stream shopping is age appropriate and
why nothing fi ts” said Bilsborrow. “We
help them through transition with our
consultative approach to fashion. We like
to call it real clothes for real woman and
help them look and feel like the fabulous
women they already are.”
Cheeky Coutures Boutique carries
quality designer clothing, accessories
and footwear. They exclusively carry in
Red Deer the world-renowned, Canadian
designer Frank Lyman collection. “We’re
very proud to be the exclusive retailer of
the Frank Lyman collection here in Red
Deer. Frank Lyman made a special trip to
Red Deer to see us this spring. It was huge
that he took note of what we were doing
and he came to see what Cheeky Cou-
tures was all about. It was an honour.”
Meanwhile, Bilsborrow said her cho-
sen career as a fashion consultant has
been very rewarding.
“There’s nothing like the feeling of see-
ing a woman who is in that place where
she’s this beautiful, incredible human
being but she has gotten lost and she
doesn’t know where she fi ts in and she
can’t make sense of this confusing fash-
ion industry and then she transforms
right before your eyes and she walks out
with her head held high and has a totally
different energy about her – it is amaz-
ing,” she said.

OPINION
As a family doctor, I have
seen a shift in the range of
people I work alongside ev-
ery day – all for the better.
When I was in training,
most family doctors worked
only with other family doc-
tors and registered nurses.
Today, my healthcare team
is rich with a variety of
critical skills, including so-
cial workers, psychologists,
chiropodists and dieticians.
There are even examples
of primary care teams
engaging lawyers and ac-
countants to help with
health-related issues such
as housing and income.
But what’s missing – and
should be a part of any
healthcare team – is the
digital expert. Here’s why.
Health care has been
consistently changed by
technology for decades.
Historically, however,
the change has been driven
from within the healthcare
system. PET scans, laparo-
scopic surgery, interven-
tional radiology, digital
imaging and electronic
medical record systems
are just a few examples of
technological changes we
now use routinely. These
advances have been large
scale, top down and expen-
sive. Now three consumer-
owned technological inno-
vations are changing the
game. First, smartphones
with a plethora of apps
devoted to healthcare im-
provement, including those
related to exercise, diet,
chronic disease manage-
ment and mental well-be-
ing, are ubiquitous among
almost every demographic.
Second, medical devices
such as glucometers, scales
and blood pressure cuffs
are increasingly digitized
and able to hold signifi cant
amounts of patient data.
Finally, wearable tech-
nologies, including watch-
es, exercise bands, clothing
and glasses are explod-
ing in popularity. These
technologies are starting
to merge as smartphones
become medical devices
capable of monitoring a
person’s heart rate, heart
rhythm, respiratory rate
and oxygen saturation.
Yet these important new
technological innovations
exist outside of my day-to-
day family practice. The
thousands of health related
data points captured by
these three types of person-
al technologies are not yet
part of the health system.
They should be.
Currently, I rely on iso-
lated data points and esti-
mates. I take a blood pres-
sure reading the day I see a
patient, and I ask them how
much alcohol they drank
that week, what they tend-
ed to eat that month and
push them to estimate how
often they have exercised
since our last visit. What I
get are data points that re-
fl ect moments in time and
the best efforts of an indi-
vidual’s memory.
Yet the information I
need to help guide their
care is often already nested
in their smart phones, med-
ical devices and wearable
technologies.
But here’s the problem.
Despite growth in elec-
tronic medical records
– and simultaneously, pa-
tients investing in health-
related personal technolo-
gies – the two worlds of
technology can’t routinely
talk to each other. I may
have a patient print out the
results from their devices
or apps and then scan the
information into the medi-
cal chart as a static docu-
ment. Here’s what the fu-
ture needs to look like.
When patients come
for their regular appoint-
ments, the fi rst person they
meet with should be a digi-
tal expert on the healthcare
team. She has the ability to
securely and quickly up-
load all the data from their
various devices into the
medical record in a man-
ner that can be appropri-
ately integrated, searched,
displayed and show trends
over time. When the doctor
– or any other member of
the healthcare team – sees
the patient a few minutes
later, we now have days,
weeks and months of help-
ful health information.
The digital expert on the
team would offer far more
help than just syncing de-
vices at the appointment.
They would be available
to help link devices and
apps remotely to a medical
record without the patient
even needing to come into
the offi ce.
They could also act as a
resource to help guide pa-
tients through the grow-
ing morass of choice in the
wearable, digitized and app
laden world of healthcare.

Building awareness of issues that some
people would rather not face is key to not
only understanding them better, but to get-
ting those affected the specifi c help they
need.
Throughout the month of September,
Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR)
Canada will join with partners across the
country and around the world to celebrate
the power and proof of recovery from ad-
diction and its value to individuals, fami-
lies, workplaces, and communities.
There is certainly a need for this type of
movement, as issues of addiction remain a
huge problem across virtually every sector
of society.
In 2012 the Canadian Community Health
Survey (CCHS) found that 4.4% of Cana-
dians met the criteria for a substance use
disorder.
To put that in perspective, this fi gure
represents more than 1.5 million people,
which is greater than the population of the
entire city of Calgary.
Despite this prevalence, accessing time-
ly and effective treatment services is a
challenge for those suffering from addic-
tion, organizers say.
Add the challenge of the societal stigma
surrounding addiction, and there are sig-
nifi cant barriers to seeking help.
Sadly, there does remain a reluctance on
the part of many to seek help because of
the fear of loved ones or friends fi nding out
about the given addiction.
Perhaps loved ones already know, but
the people themselves feels trapped in the
shadow of addiction and the fear of fi nally
facing it head on. But there is much in the
way of assistance today, and it’s hoped that
people with addictions can increasingly –
through awareness and the removal of any
sense of stigma – fi nd the help they need.
Also, recovery, as organizers emphasize,
can be a matter of life and death.
“Recovery is the solution to addiction -
and it saves lives,” says Annie McCullough,
executive director and co-founder of FA-
VOR Canada.
Established in 2013, FAVOR Canada is
dedicated to eradicating the stigma, foster-
ing the development of recovery commu-
nity organizations and supporting such
activities as Recovery Month.
The fi rst Canadian Recovery Day, orga-
nized by McCullough and others, was cel-
ebrated in Vancouver and Victoria in Sep-
tember of 2012.
Since then, the movement has caught on
in many communities across the country.
This year, celebrations are being
planned in 25 Canadian cities throughout
the month of September, with activities
ranging from rallies to breakfasts to bike
rides.
It’s all in an effort to also just get people
talking about the realities of addictions,
and to bolster that sense in those affected
that there is a strong system of support
that is available – no matter what they are
facing.
The power of stigma can be fueled by
silence – thus the importance of getting
these issues more out in the open and en-
couraging conversations. In past genera-
tions, shame and secrecy forced many to
battle alone – and often, they simply just
couldn’t win those struggles.
Meanwhile, organizers say to see that
level of commitment from local commu-
nities to the cause is energizing and em-
powering. “It is gratifying to see the tre-
mendous energy and support for Recovery
Day,” says McCullough. “As we look for-
ward to 2016 and beyond, FAVOR Canada
will lead the way in recovery advocacy in
this country.”
Ann Dowsett Johnston, bestselling au-
thor of Drink: The Intimate Relationship
Between Women and Alcohol and also a
founding director of FAVOR Canada, ex-
plained that, “We’re taking the recovery
movement to the streets, joining millions
of North Americans in a major coming-out
party. What was once hidden is now be-
ing celebrated from coast to coast to coast.
This is a sea change in the world of addic-
tion recovery.”

The trial for a Red Deer man who has
been charged with murder in connection
to the death of a Calgary woman in 2012
was set to get under way in Red Deer’s
Court of Queen’s Bench last week, but has
been rescheduled to 2017.
Nathan Desharnais, 26, has been charged
with second degree murder and offering
indignity to human remains after the body
of Talia Nellie Meguinis, 27, was found at
a recycling facility in the Riverside Indus-
trial area on Feb. 22nd, 2012 after police re-
ceived a complaint at about 9:28 a.m. of a
deceased female.
Red Deer City RCMP General Investiga-
tion Section and Red Deer Forensic Iden-
tifi cation Section were called in to assist
with the investigation. After further in-
vestigation, RCMP said Meguinis was not
murdered in the location her body was
found. Police have said they believe De-
sharnais and Meguinis had just met the
weekend she was murdered. She was trav-
eling back home to Calgary from northern
Alberta and stopped in Red Deer to visit
family.
The four-week trial will now be held
from Jan. 23rd, 2017-Feb. 17th, 2017.
Desharnais’ arrest is a result of an ex-
tensive seven-month investigation that
involved the Red Deer RCMP General In-
vestigation Section, Major Crimes Unit,
Forensic Identifi cation Unit, Victims
Services and the Police Dog Service. The
Calgary MCU, the ‘K’ Division Special
Tactical Operations, Polygraph Sections
in Calgary and Edmonton, the Calgary
Police Service, and the Tsuu T’ina police
also assisted. There were 40 investigators
who were dedicated to this case with more
than 25,000 man-hours spent on the inves-
tigation.
Meanwhile, in June of 2014, Deshar-
nais was found guilty and sentenced to six
years in prison after being charged with
two counts of aggravated sexual assault
and unlawful confi nement and imprison-
ment as a result of an incident that took
place at his Red Deer home in June of 2012.
The charge of unlawful confi nement
was dropped by the court after the crown
stayed the charge.
He is currently in custody serving that
sentence.
Murder trial moved to 2017

Alberta’s annual Culture
Days are fast approaching.
This province-wide cele-
bration of arts and culture
will be taking place from
Sept. 25th to 27th..
While the current arts
and culture scene will be
celebrated during this an-
nual event, it is important
to remember that arts and
culture also thrived in fron-
tier towns such as Red Deer
more than 100 years ago.
Because television, ra-
dio, movies and the Inter-
net had not been invented
yet, people entertained
themselves with all kinds
of concerts, musicales, live
theatre performances, lec-
tures and public readings.
As early as the 1890s,
when there were less than
200 people in the town, Red
Deer had three local theat-
rical companies: the Red
Deer Dramatic Society, the
Red Deer Amateur Comedy
Company and the Burnt
Cork Dramatic Society.
The Red Deer Citizens’
Band (the forerunner of
the Red Deer Royals) was
organized in 1902.
The performing arts got
a tremendous boost during
the summer of 1903 when
Amos B. Purdy, a furniture
store owner, decided to in-
clude an opera house on
the second fl oor of a new
business block which he
was constructing on the
east side of Gaetz Avenue,
south of Mann (49) St.
The Purdy Block turned
out to be an impressive
looking building.
It was built out of local
sandstone and brick from
the Piper’s Brickyard. Be-
cause ceilings on the sec-
ond fl oor were as much as
20 ft. high, the whole edi-
fi ce looked as if it was Red
Deer’s fi rst three-storey
structure. On Jan. 8th,
1904, the Red Deer Dramat-
ic Society put on the Opera
House’s inaugural perfor-
mance with its staging of
The Circus Girl.
It proved to be a tre-
mendous hit. A number of
plays, minstrel acts, vaude-
ville shows, concerts, musi-
cales and other public per-
formances followed.
Some of the most popular
theatricals included Lost
Paradise, The Confi dential
Spy, The Queen of Hearts
and The Little Minister.
The famous Canadian
poet, E. Pauline Johnson,
performed at the Opera
House in 1905. Noted trav-
eling theatrical companies
such as the Nelson-Bruce
Company staged perfor-
mances of Arizona and The
Prisoner of Zenda.
The Opera House was
also used for public meet-
ings, political rallies and
community fundraisers.
After the formation of
the Red Deer Fire Brigade
in 1904, the highly popu-
lar annual fi remen’s ball
was held there. Following
the opening of the Opera
House, new cultural groups
and organizations were es-
tablished. The fi rst Red
Deer Symphony Orchestra
was formed in September
1904, with Robert Duncan
as leader.
While this fi rst orchestra
ran into a number of diffi -
culties, a second symphony
orchestra was organized in
November 1906 under the
direction of W.B. McQueen.
In the summer of 1906, a
new form of entertainment
was provided at the Opera
House. The Sherman Mov-
ing Pictures company gave
a showing of a short movie
of the San Francisco Earth-
quake. Around the same
time, the Opera House was
purchased by Rev. James
Rice, the principal of the
Red Deer Indian Industrial
School.
Amos Purdy continued
to operate his furniture
store on the ground fl oor.
In January 1907, R.L.
McBride briefl y opened a
roller skating rink in the
second fl oor hall.
The winter of 1906-07 was
one of the worst on record.
There were heavy snows
and several weeks of very
frigid temperatures. In Feb-
ruary 1907, the Town sent
an engineer to look at the
roof of the Opera House.
They were alarmed by
what they found. The back
wall had major cracks in a
half dozen places.
Consequently, licenses
for gatherings were sus-
pended indefi nitely.
Rev. Rice brought in an
architect to make a num-
ber of changes and repairs.
However, on Dec. 20th, 1907
disaster struck.
The whole building was
destroyed by fi re.
While Rev. Rice had
some insurance, his loss-
es turned out to be much
greater than his coverage.
Amos Purdy also suffered a
permanent blow to his fur-
niture business and soon
moved to Provost.
The Opera House was
never rebuilt. Instead, an
old farm machinery ware-
house on Ross Street was
renovated by some busi-
nessmen and turned into
the Lyric Theatre. While
this new theatre had short-
comings, it became the new
centre for entertainment.
By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, colla-gen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of colla-gen, you have to generate it.
BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the colla-gen producing cells in your body known as fibro-blasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strength-ened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

COMPASSCOMPASS FOR THE CAREGIVERCAREGIVER
BY ZACHARY CORMIERRed Deer Express
People suffering from eating disorders
in Red Deer will soon have somewhere to
go to fi nd support.
The Eating Disorder Support Network
of Alberta (EDSNA) revealed plans to ex-
pand their services to the Red Deer area
during an offi cial launch at Red Deer Col-
lege last Friday.
“It has always been a part of our vision
to move throughout Alberta,” said Moy-
ra McAllister, who is the president and
founder of EDSNA.
The organization began holding its fi rst
professionally-facilitated support groups
in Edmonton in April of 2014.
McAllister was motivated to create EDS-
NA after her daughter was diagnosed with
anorexia. “It’s a part of life that I never
thought I’d go through,” McAllister said.
She noted before EDSNA, fi nding sup-
port for people suffering from eating dis-
orders in Alberta could be a diffi cult task.
McAllister stressed eating disorders can
affect anyone and that those who might
be suffering from one should seek help.
“There are so many people who are deal-
ing with this disorder alone and lonely and
feeling like there are no answers,” she said.
The organization will be holding sup-
port groups to assist those who are suffer-
ing from eating disorders as well as their
family and friends.
EDSNA was able to expand their pro-
grams because of contributions from both
Alberta Health and Mental Health and
Addictions. “It is a signifi cant step in ad-
dressing the needs of those with eating
disorders in Central Alberta,” said Red
Deer North MLA Kim Schreiner, who was
speaking on behalf of Alberta Health Min-
ister Sarah Hoffman.
Schreiner added the Alberta govern-
ment is contributing over $300,000 to assist
EDSNA in its expansion. “When it comes
to eating disorders, the long-term health,
and even the lives, of our loved ones can
hang in the balance,” she said.
In addition to the funds from the govern-
ment, EDSNA is also receiving support
from Red Deer College, which donated the
use of space on campus for the organiza-
tion to hold its sessions.
“Red Deer College is committed to the
well-being of our students, faculty and
staff and we actively promote physical and
mental wellness,” said Leslie Kendall, who
is the vice president of human resources
at the College. Kendall also said the Col-
lege would work with EDSNA, as well as
the RDC Students’ Association, to promote
awareness of eating disorders.
Mayor Tara Veer said EDSNA was a wel-
come addition to the community.
“The two Red Deer support groups now
established through EDSNA will thank-
fully offer the opportunity for those living
with the effects of an eating disorder to
fi nd the community supports that they so
desperately need,” she said.
EDSNA will be offering two separate
support group sessions. The session for
those suffering from eating disorders will
take place on Tuesday evenings from Oct.
12th through Nov. 17th at RDC. The ses-
sion for parents, partners and loved ones
will be held on Wednesday evenings from
Oct. 14th through Nov. 25th at the Collicutt
Centre. Registration for both sessions is
open now at www.eatingdisordersupport-
networkofalberta.com.

Two friends have come
together to create a special
project that will bring a
gift from Port Alberni, B.C.
all the way down to Holly-
wood, California.
Curtis Hargrove, also
known as the Cold Lake
Runner, has made a prom-
ise to his close friend An-
gel Magnussen to deliver a
blanket that she has made
to Ellen DeGeneres’ studio.
“Back in February, An-
gel had contacted me and
told me that she had sent a
blanket to the Ellen show.
She saw that it got deliv-
ered but she didn’t hear a
response, so I told her mom
that if Angel made another
blanket and wrote a letter I
would personally run to the
Ellen Show and deliver it by
hand,” Hargrove explained.
“That way, Angel would
know for sure it got deliv-
ered by someone.”
Hargrove and Magnus-
sen met in 2012 at the Grey
Cup Championship. They
were both a part of the Sco-
tiabank Game Changers
Club, which provided eight
people the opportunity to
win $100,000 for their char-
ity of choice.
Magnussen’s nomina-
tion, called Variety - The
Children’s Charity of B.C.,
was the recipient of the
$100,000. Magnussen was
passionately involved in the
organization, and eventual-
ly formed her own founda-
tion that gives all proceeds
to Variety – The Children’s
Charity of B.C. and the B.C.
Children’s Hospital.
The foundation she oper-
ates is Hugginz by Angel.
Hugginz by Angel’s mission
is to provide a warm blan-
ket, hug and support to sick
children, or those dealing
with tragedy. Magnussen
handmakes each blanket
and sends them off with a
hug and some love to those
needing some comfort.
Her dream of having El-
len DeGeneres recognize
this project is to be realized
with the help of Hargrove.
“I’m going to be running
from Port Alberni, B.C
down to Ellen’s studio in
Burbank, California. I’m
going to run down to Victo-
ria, catch the ferry across
to Port Alberni and then
straight down Highway
101. I’m going to be running
roughly 50 km a day for 49
days – if I can stay on track
it would be 58 marathons in
49 days,” he explained.
Hargrove, who once at-
tended Red Deer College,
and Magnussen have a
great friendship, and he
said he was happy to make
her this offer. Magnussen’s
motto is ‘Wrapping Sick
Kids in a Warm Hug’ and
the aim of this project is
to create awareness of that
mission as Hargrove trav-
els to Burbank.
Hargrove said that he
was happy to do this for her,
but understands the logis-
tics of such a lengthy trip.
Hargrove previously ran
across Canada in support
of the Stollery Children’s
Hospital Foundation.
“I’ve overcome some in-
juries and things in the last
while, and I’ve been trying
to rest up. I was in camp for
three and a half weeks. I
know what the trip entails
and I wanted to make sure I
was 100 per cent healthy for
it, so I’ve made sure to stay
physically active,” he said
about his preparation.
“I do things like play
hockey, play pick-up games
but I’ve been focusing more
on my family life. I’ve been
away for so long in these
past couple of years, and I
really wanted to spend time
with my family.
“I’d like to thank ev-
eryone in the City of Red
Deer for coming out to the
Meathead Restaurant fun-
draiser kick-off party and
everyone that came out to
support the cause. I want
to thank my family and my
friends and sponsors for ev-
erything they do.”

United Way offi cially kicked off its 50th
anniversary fundraising campaign to a
crowd of 500 supporters at the Sheraton
Hotel last week.
The luncheon marked the start of a
four-month fundraising drive to support
the three pillars of focus for United Way
- education, income and wellness. These
pillars are used to serve various groups in
Central Alberta to develop programs, en-
courage citizens and create change in the
community.
Campaign Cabinet Co-Chair Lynne Mul-
der was happy to engage in the event, and
share her hopes for the campaign.
“United Way has given me an opportu-
nity to see our community with a different
lens,” she said of the organization.
“It allows me to see the different kinds of
people and the struggles that they’re hav-
ing. I get to see those less fortunate than
myself and how hard they are working,
and how a little bit of assistance can really
help them.”
This year’s highlights of the event in-
cluded impactful stories by those whose
lives had been changed through United
Way funded programs.
As well, a video presentation was made
to celebrate 50 years of the United Way in
the community.
In honour of the 50th anniversary, Cen-
tral Alberta United Way created a Commu-
nity Legacy Impact Grant.
A ‘Dragon’s Den’ – style series of presen-
tations were made to members of the Unit-
ed Way board, with the Central Alberta
Poverty Reduction Alliance being named
the recipients of the grant this year.
To continue with their recent model,
United Way did not announce a fundrais-
ing total, but rather looked towards an im-
pact total.
“This year, we are not announcing a fun-
draising total, but instead we are hoping
to announce an impact total. That impact
is about number of people we have helped
and will help.
“It’s about the number of children that
have benefi ted from this program and who
are able to build a solid foundation for
their lives through United Way sponsored
programs,” Mulder explained.
“It’s about moving people from poverty
to possibility, and I think that’s really an
awesome thought.
“Over the years United Way has moved
from being just a fundraising group to a ca-
pacity builder, and that’s something that’s
been very important to me,” she added.
This year, the kick-off luncheon saw the
largest attendance in many years.
As well, it was announced that the
Jumpstart Program campaign had already
brought in a signifi cantly high number of
donations – a total of $212,820.
“Our community is strong,” said Mul-
der.
“Although most of us may feel economic
pressure right now, there are people that
feel that pressure every single day of their
lives.
“Now is the time to show what Central
Alberta is made of and to make a lasting
impact on our region.”
United Way supports a variety of organi-
zations and initiatives through fundraising
and continued fi nancial support.
Last year, Central Alberta United Way
launched its 211 program, a service to
connect and refer individuals to services
that they may be in need of, but unaware
of. The online portion of the program was
launched last June, and the phone line por-
tion of the program was launched this past
March.
“I would just like to say that United Way
is an awesome organization to be part of.
I would encourage people to be a part of
it, and I say thank you to each person who
helped us make a difference last year,”
Mulder said.
Beautiful, made affordable.®

One of Canada’s great-
est national heroes will
once again be honoured in
Red Deer with the upcom-
ing 35th annual Terry Fox
Run.
This year’s Terry Fox
Run will be held on Sept.
20th at Heritage Ranch,
with registration begin-
ning at 10 a.m.
The run itself will begin
at 11 a.m., which is a new
start time this year.
“We accept anything
or anyone,” said Run Or-
ganizer Loretta Winia,
who became involved in
the Terry Fox Foundation
after her nephew passed
away from cancer at the
age of 18.
The annual event,
which commemorates
Terry Fox’s Marathon of
Hope, was created to raise
awareness and money
in support of cancer re-
search.
As with previous years,
Red Deer’s run will not re-
quire participants to pre-
register or raise a mini-
mum pledge, although
donations are encouraged.
Instead, said Winia, the
focus is on raising aware-
ness and participation
throughout the area.
“It’s more about the
awareness and keeping
Terry Fox’s dream alive,”
she said.
The Terry Fox Founda-
tion is the largest non-
governmental research
organization in Canada.
It is independent and has
raised more than $260 mil-
lion for cancer research to
date.
“None of the funds we
raise go to (administration
costs),” said Winia, adding
that 84 cents of every dol-
lar goes directly to cancer
research.
The run, which is non-
competitive, will start at
Heritage Ranch and go
past Bower Pond before
looping back down to the
Ranch.
This year’s track is 10
km long and will take
place on City trails.
Participants are free to
walk, bike, wheel or run
and they can do as much
or as little as they want,”
she said.
“We encourage people
to come and participate,”
Winia said.
The event is completely
volunteer-led and all of
the money raised goes di-
rectly back to the Founda-
tion and then gets distrib-
uted to research centres
around the country.
The Red Deer Terry Fox
Run will be one of over
9,000 taking place in cities
across Canada.
The event will also fea-
ture a barbecue lunch for
participants afterwards,
as well as some door
prizes. For more informa-
tion about the event, visit

A panel of three judges
are reviewing the appeal of
a convicted drunk driver.
The Alberta Court of
Appeal heard the case of
Rodney Arens last week in
Calgary. Donna Derie-Gil-
lespie represented Arens
on the matter. There is no
indication when the panel
will return with a decision.
Arens, 37, of Red Deer,
appealed the nearly six-
year sentence he was given
in the spring of 2014 for
his role in the death of a
13-year-old Red Deer boy on
Canada Day in 2010.
Arens was sentenced to
fi ve years and six months
in prison. He was given
credit for 185 days for time
served before and during
the trial. His sentence also
included a driving prohibi-
tion for 10 years.
In 2010, police said
Anouluck ‘Jeffrey’ Chan-
minaraj, 13, was riding
in a Honda Civic with his
then 18-year-old brother
Jamie and 20-year-old sis-
ter Stephanie, who was
driving, at about 11 p.m. on
Canada Day when a Dodge
Ram pick-up truck crashed
into the passenger side of
the car. Their car was turn-
ing left through the inter-
section of Taylor Drive and
Kerry Wood Drive when it
was struck by the pick-up
truck. The siblings were on
their way to see the Canada
Day fi reworks.
During sentencing
submissions of the case,
Crown Prosecutor Wayne
Silliker sought six years
in prison for Arens with a
10-year driving prohibition.
Derie-Gillespie said a four-
year sentence and a fi ve to
10-year driving prohibition
would be appropriate.
Before handing down his
sentence Justice Kirk Sis-
son said, “Jeffrey’s loss will
never be forgotten.”
He said the sentence
would act as a deterrent
for Arens and for others
who may look at this case
and see what could happen
to them if they chose the
same actions.
“It is to promote in you
a sense of responsibility
for your actions,” Sisson
told Arens. “It appears you
went to great lengths to not
take responsibility for your
actions and that your self-
destructive behaviour con-
tinued after you caused the
death of a 13-year-old boy
on Canada Day in 2010.”
Two local business ventures
are continuing to make a tre-
mendous difference for local resi-
dents and business owners in the
Central Alberta region.
An open house is set for Sept.
25th from 2 to 7 p.m. where visi-
tors will be able to tour our cur-
rent light industrial projects, the
Wood Group Business Centre and
Garage World – both operated
under the Blackfalds-based Drive
Capital Corporation.
The event will be held in the
upstairs unit #1, at 5220 Duncan
Ave. in the Valley Ridge Industri-
al Park, Blackfalds.
Those interested in attending
are asked to RSVP by Sept. 19th
by calling 403-506-3373 or email-
ing [email protected].
Wood Group Business CentreOnly minutes from Red Deer,
the Wood Group Business Cen-
tre has a prime location in the
new Valley Ridge Industrial Park
subdivision at the south end of
Blackfalds.
The front of the building faces
the QEII Hwy. providing superb
visibility and access for vehicles
travelling the Edmonton-Calgary
corridor. “This commercial space
is well suited for light industrial,
oilfi eld, wholesale or retail busi-
nesses,” said Jim Armitage, who
oversees sales and marketing.
“Phase 1 includes four Units and
is currently ready for occupancy.
The structure will include three
phases with a total of 13 Com-
mercial Units.
“One huge advantage here is
highway exposure to 30,000-plus
vehicles every day. The units can
be customized to suit individual
business needs. Interior develop-
ment can include a spacious shop
area and offi ces on the main fl oor
with additional offi ce space on a
mezzanine overlooking the QEII.”
Garage WorldGarage World is a safe, secure
investment where you can build
equity and solve your storage is-
sues as well. Take back your res-
idential garage and yard space
by owning or leasing our per-
sonalized storage spaces. Garage
World continues to solve ‘lack of
space’ issues for business owners
as well.
“Garage units in this secure
and private gated community
range from 822 to 3,679 sq. ft,”
said Armitage, “And the spaces
are ideal for a range of storage
uses, from parking recreational
vehicles, boats, hobby cars, heavy
trucks to storing business equip-
ment.” Garage World is located at
5217 Duncan Ave in Blackfalds.
What also makes Garage World
unique is the sturdy and fi re re-
sistant concrete construction.
The units can be fully customized
to suit the owner’s tastes and can
be used for a variety of purposes.
“To date the number one stor-
age item is vehicles - classic cars,
RVs and even heavy trucks. The
space is a lot more than storage
as owners enjoy their time there
fi xing and polishing their prized
possessions. The facility really
offers them a place to go to and
hide from all the noise.”
These highly-secured facilities
and fully customizable units are
the ideal place to create an ulti-
mate hobby space to meet indi-
vidual needs. This development
will be completed in fi ve phases.
Phase 1 and 2 are complete and
currently 60% sold.
Vacant Lots for Build to Suit OptionIf the above projects don’t suit
a client’s specifi c needs, we also
feature 3-7 acre parcels of land
zoned Light Industrial that can be
purchased or we will build to suit.

the development or the upcoming
open house, call Lana Pusch at

SIGNALS AT 55 ST. AND RUTHERFORD DRIVE
New traffi c signals were installed at the intersection of 55 St. and Rutherford Drive and will become opera-tional this week.
Yesterday yellow lights started fl ashing at the inter-section of 55 St. at Ruther-ford Drive to alert motorists to the new lights and pedes-trian crossing.
Today (Sept. 16th) the lights will operate as a nor-mal traffi c signal and change to red when the pedestrian button is activated.
Pedestrians and drivers are asked to be aware of this new traffi c signal and use caution in the area.
AIR QUALITY TOP PRIORITY IN RED DEER
Red Deer’s air quality falls short of requirements ac-cording to results from the Canadian Ambient Air Qual-ity Standards (CAAQS) as announced by the Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks last week.
The City’s commitment to reducing fi ne particulate matter and improving air quality remains one of the City’s top environmental pri-orities, offi cials say.
“We have been aware of the air quality exceedances for some time and we take these results seriously,” said Nancy Hackett, environmen-tal initiatives supervisor.
“We are already working closely with the Govern-ment of Alberta – specifi cally Alberta Environment and Parks and Alberta Health on an advisory committee to ad-dress this issue.
“The advisory committee will release a report later this fall that will help to lay the groundwork for a broader action plan in addition to the targets we’ve set through our Environmental Master Plan.”
In relation to air quality, the Environmental Master Plan identifi es the need to improve air quality by lower-ing ambient concentrations of airborne pollutants includ-ing fi ne particulate matter. The City has implemented a number of programs and ini-tiatives to support improved air quality, primarily around promoting alternative forms of transportation and energy conservation.
The EMP outlines a num-ber of programs which ad-dress the need to prioritize both energy and transporta-tion alternatives.
In addition to participation and promotion of numerous conservation and green en-ergy events, the block heater timer pilot project was intro-duced in 2014 to educate and encourage public participa-tion in reducing daily energy consumption.
The City has also been driving the idle free program since 2009 with an internal idle free policy for the City fl eet, an Idle Free Schools program and has been en-couraging drivers and busi-ness leaders to follow suit.
For more information on the City’s air quality targets and program initiatives, visit www.reddeer.ca.
GREENTRIP PROVIDES $9.23 MILLION
The City of Red Deer will receive additional support for transit initiatives, thanks to funding from the Alberta government’s Green Transit Incentives Program (Green-TRIP).
Through GreenTRIP, The City will receive $9.23 mil-lion, which will be used to support new transit tech-nology, the purchase of new buses, fueling infrastructure upgrades and Action Bus purchases.
“GreenTRIP isn’t just a funding program, it’s a ticket to innovation, new ideas, and
connecting with our com-munity in a sustainable way,” said Mayor Tara Veer.
GreenTRIP provides one-time capital funding that supports new and expanded public transit throughout Al-berta.
The program helps pro-vide Albertans with a wider range of sustainable transit alternatives for local, region-al and intermunicipal travel, making public transit more accessible.
“This is great news for Red Deer,” she said.
The funding will go a long way to assist us in develop-ing public transportation infrastructure,” said Mayor Veer.
In 2011, the City of Red Deer also received Green-TRIP funding, which was used to support the pur-chase of 40 new low-fl oor transit buses.
This year, the City of Red Deer was approved for $9.23 million in grant fund-ing, which will provide cost-sharing at two thirds of the estimated eligible costs for the System-Wide Intelligent Transit Technology project, an upgrade to fueling infra-structure, the purchase of new Action Buses and regu-lar Transit buses.
“Ultimately, this funding means we can move more people to more places – and we can do it with sustainabil-ity in mind.
“This announcement is a win-win for the people of Red Deer,” said Veer.
RDC TRANSIT PASSES
Red Deer Transit and Red Deer College are partnering to make transit more acces-sible and affordable for stu-dents with the new semester pass.
“The new pass available to all Red Deer College stu-dents, including those at the Donald School of Business, includes unlimited semester access to Red Deer Transit conventional services,” said George Penny, transit man-ager.
“We want to offer a trans-portation option that not only saves students money by reducing or eliminating the costs of maintaining a ve-hicle and paying for parking, but also encourages a more environmentally friendly op-tion.”
The new semester pass is $140 and is valid from Sep-tember to December, 2015 with the opportunity to re-new for the second semester in January.
Students are able to pur-chase the semester pass with proof of enrollment at Red Deer College’s Student Association, Sorenson Sta-tion or at City Hall.
Approximately 3,000 stu-dents use transit and RDC hopes to see this number grow with the new program in place.
“The Students’ Associa-tion of Red Deer College is incredibly excited about the new semester pass for all RDC students,” said Maryann McGrath, Students’ Associa-
tion president. “The new $140/semester
pass enables all students to have access to public transit, and will encourage our stu-dents to make public transit their main method of trans-portation to both school and beyond.
“We are especially thank-ful for the work of Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer, and the willingness of the City of Red Deer to make this vision a reality.
“The establishment of a semester bus pass for all RDC students has been a pri-ority of the Students’ Associ-ation of Red Deer College for several years; we are more than grateful to see Red Deer Transit become more innovative and accessible for our students.”

WEAK LOCAL HIRING CLIMATE EXPECTED
Red Deer area job seekers should expect a weak hiring climate for the fourth quar-ter of 2015, according to the latest Manpower Employ-ment Outlook Survey.
“Survey data reveals that fi ve per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (October to Decem-ber), while another fi ve per cent anticipate cutbacks,”
stated Randy Upright, CEO of Manpower’s Alberta region.
Eighty-three per cent of employers plan to maintain their current staffi ng levels in the upcoming quarter, while the remaining 7% are unsure about their hiring in-tentions.
“With seasonal variations removed from the data, Red Deer’s fourth quarter Net Employment Outlook of zero per cent is a decrease of seven percentage points when compared to the previ-ous quarterly Outlook,” said Upright. “It is also a 19 per-centage point decrease from the Outlook reported during the same time last year, indi-cating a sluggish hiring pace for the upcoming months,” added Upright.
As of July, unemployment remained unchanged for six consecutive months, while employment is up by 0.9% compared to this time last year, said Michelle Dunnill, Manpower area manager for Toronto, Mississauga and Markham.
“We have also noted an increase in full-time work, a positive change from recent quarters.
“However, we are hearing some concerns regarding the market’s instability, lead-ing to some employers hold-ing off on hiring.”

BY JENNA SWAN Red Deer Express
After over 30 years of working for Ford Mark Nydokus, service manager of Cam Clark Ford on Gasoline Alley, has learned a thing or two about how customer service can foster relationships with customers.
In fact, in his time with Ford, Nydokus said the thing he has witnessed evolve the most within the international company is the level of service and expertise expected by customers.
“The biggest evolution especially over the last fi ve years has been in the quality of the vehicles due to technology and craftsmanship,” he explained. “And secondly as consumers we demand more because of the increase of quality in the product.
“This means service and quality need to constantly be on par with that and its something we do extremely well here and always go above and beyond with.”
He explained the expertise customers experience when visiting Cam Clark Ford is best viewed in the
service centre. “We understand people are coming to see us because they have a problem and we need to engage them so we can understand exactly what’s happening with their vehicle and what’s
going on with it,” explained Nydokus. “The peace of mind you’ll get when it comes to maintenance being done through Ford experts who know the product inside and out like the back of their hands is enough to keep a smile on our customers’ faces.
“We are the professionals who know what your vehicle needs and what to look for.”
Exceptional customer service starts with the sales team and ends with the service team, explained Nydokus. This means team work is essential when it comes to ensuring quality customer service and when it comes to team work no one does it better than Cam Clark Ford.
Sales manager at Cam Clark Ford Dan Peterson added the fundamental building blocks of their successful customer service come from the people they hire and ensuring all of their staff work together between sales, fi nance and service.
“People come here looking for a great deal, but they leave here thinking it was the best experience possible,” said Peterson. “The people go above and beyond and what’s number one for our customers is having them know they will be taken care of when they come here and that we make the experience as easy as possible.”
Nydokus added it’s about ensuring everyone is on the same page.
“We’ve really lucked out when it comes to staff,” he stated. “The stars have truly aligned in that all of the people who work here share the same values
when it comes to exceptional customer service.” This team atmosphere and culture isn’t just a
Ford standard, said Peterson – it’s a Cam Clark Ford standard. Nydokus added in the four years he has spent as service manager with Cam Clark he has noticed most prominently the smiles on the faces of the customers knowing they have been taken care of hassle-free whether it is their fi rst car purchase or their 30th.
Cam Clark Ford is in their third year of operations in Red Deer County on Gasoline Alley, located at 417 Lantern St. – the perfect location between Central and northern Alberta. With dealerships in Airdrie and Olds also, the business has the ability to stock large inventories and provide a full line of automotive services.
Stock and inventory may be viewed online at www.camclarkfordreddeer.com with the option to live chat with sales professionals to answer any and all questions you may have during your vehicle search and buying experience.

POLICE LOOK FOR WITNESSES TO SHOOTINGRed Deer RCMP are looking for witnesses to a shooting on
the south hill that sent a Red Deer man to hospital with non-life threatening injuries in the early hours of Sunday morning.
At 12:40 a.m. on Sept. 13th, RCMP responded to a report that a man had been shot in the green space behind Check-mate Court. The victim made his way to the parking lot of the strip mall where witnesses called police and EMS. The sus-pect was seen running northbound on Gaetz Avenue down the hill toward downtown.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh; he was taken to hospital for treatment and later released. RCMP con-tinues to investigate and conduct neighbourhood interviews.
Police ask anyone that was in the area of 37th St. and 50th Ave. during this time frame and heard or saw anything related to this incident, or if they have information about the identity of the suspect, 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.
POLICE LOOK FOR SUSPECTS IN ANIMAL CASEInnisfail RCMP is asking the public’s assistance for any in-
formation that may identify a vehicle description or person responsible for the death of a household pet.
On the evening of Aug. 27th between the hours of 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. on Aug. 28th, and in the area of 47th Ave., a sus-pect/suspects dropped a bundle of chocolate in a backyard which caused the death of a household pet.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have informa-tion regarding this occurrence to contact Innisfail RCMP at 403-227-3342. Those wishing to remain anonymous can con-tact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or at www.tipsubmit.com.
RCMP TARGET SCHOOL ZONE SPEEDERSRed Deer RCMP and Community Peace Offi cers followed
up their back to school safety reminders with a series of traf-fi c campaigns set up in school zones between Sept. 1st and 4th. The Traffi c unit set up rotating teams to cover 12 Catho-lic schools and 19 public schools before and after school and during the noon hour.
Over the course of the four days, RCMP and CPOs issued 63 tickets to drivers who were speeding in school zone; 13 tickets for seat belt infractions; four tickets were given to prohibited drivers; one 24-hour suspension was given; two tickets were given for crosswalk offenses; three tickets were given for other moving violations; 37 tickets were issues for non-moving violations and 12 warning tickets were issued.
RCMP across the province are targeting the driving behav-iours of young drivers this month along with back to school safe-ty, because traffi c statistics show collision rates for new drivers are especially high during the fi rst year of unsupervised driving.
The speed limit in Red Deer school zones is 30 km/hr and is in effect from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on school days. The fi ne for going 50 km/hr in a school zone is $167 and that fi ne amount increases as the speed increases. The fi ne for distracted driving is $287.
POLICE ARREST MAN WITH STOLEN FIREARMSRed Deer RCMP arrested a man in possession of numer-
ous stolen fi rearms in the parking lot at Red Deer Regional Hospital.
At 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 4th, RCMP responded to a report of a man in possession of a number of fi rearms, and located him parked outside the hospital emergency room doors; he was taken into custody without incident.
RCMP seized seven rifl es, two shotguns and large amounts of ammunition, as well as a small amount of crystal meth. Many of the recovered fi rearms had been stolen during a residential break-in on Sept. 3rd in Stettler. Police also recov-ered coins and jewellery that had been stolen from Munson, Alberta in a residential break-in on Sept. 2nd. The suspect vehicle bore a license plate that had been stolen out of Rocky Mountain House earlier that week.
Dixon Ross Bergseth, 37, of Red Deer has been charged with nine counts of possession of weapons contrary to order, possession of weapon for dangerous purpose, possession of restricted fi rearm, eight counts of possession of weapon ob-tained by crime, pointing a fi rearm, two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and possession of crystal meth.

26 Red Deer Express Wednesday, September 16, 2015
BY KALISHA MENDONSARed Deer Express
The Miss Teenage Canada
competition aims to recog-
nize young women in the
community who are striving
for change - this year, Red
Deer’s own Sarah Wojcik
was awarded the title.
Wojcik, 17, decided to
enter the competition to
promote her views on over-
coming mental health is-
sues and other causes close
to her heart.
“Being Miss Teenage
Canada gives me the op-
portunity to encourage
youth Canada-wide. I want
to share the idea that no
matter what kind of back-
ground you come from –
dealing with depression,
thoughts of suicide, a one-
parent home or even things
like having low self confi -
dence – your past and your
struggles do not completely
defi ne you. It won’t defi ne
your future,” Wojcik said.
“I’ve been through some
struggles in my life, but I’m
not letting those defi ne me,
or determine where my fu-
ture is going. I experienced
bullying when I was young-
er, and it’s known that a lot
of mental health issues can
be caused by bullying. I just
want to use my past strug-
gles to be an advocate for
teens across Canada and
show them they don’t have
to fi ght in silence - the help
is out there.”
Wojcik said that she has
had friends compete in
Miss Teen pageants before
and that she admired their
titles for the advocacy plat-
form.
She is also an avid volun-
teer and spends time with
a number of organizations
from her school programs
to the Women’s Outreach
Centre and Cystic Fibrosis
Canada.
“There is lots of charity
work involved, and hope-
fully I’ll be able to make a
tree this year for Festival
of Trees to represent Miss
Teenage Canada. I’ve done
a lot of volunteer work, and
have been doing it since a
young age,” she said.
“I started with Salva-
tion Army and it evolved
from there. Having my old
provincial title, I was able
to work with some of my
favorite charities such as
World Vision. I volunteer
with the Women’s Out-
reach Centre, and I’m very
involved in my school. I’m
on student council and the
grad service project.
“I also volunteer a lot
with Cystic Fibrosis Can-
ada, because a friend of
mine suffers from cystic
fi brosis and it’s something
that is very close to my
heart.”
The contests do have por-
tions that judge aesthetics
and demeanor, but Wojcik
said that the pageants are
really more about what
girls are doing for their
communities. She said that
they cherish girls who are
unique and that the con-
test focuses on fundraising,
work ethic and personality
over appearances.
“There is no height or
weight restriction for the
contests. It’s not limited to
all about how you look – it’s
about your heart and who
you are in your personality.
They really cherish girls
who go above and beyond
in their communities,”
Wojcik said.
“They look for girls who
are smart, girls who are ac-
tive, girls who win awards
for public services. Any tal-
ents you have are honoured
and accepted. They want
girls who are real – they
aren’t just looking for drop-
dead gorgeous models.
They’re looking for real,
down to earth girls.”
Each year, competitors
are judged on their fund-
raising abilities for a cho-
sen charity. This year the
recipient of the funds raised
through the Miss Teen Can-
ada contestants was given
to Free the Children.
“Each girl was required
to raise a minimum of $400,
but if you raised over $1,000
it gave you extra points in
preliminary scoring. The
highest fundraiser - a girl
from Lethbridge - was auto-
matically entered into the
top 20,” explained Wojcik.
“One of the things that
I won with my title is the
opportunity to go to Ecua-
dor with Free the Children.
Because of the amount of
money we raised as a group
of pageant girls, we were
able to build eight new
schools in the community.
I’ll be going to Ecuador
to help build the schools
and I’m so excited for that.
It’s something that’s been
on my bucket list – travel
the world and do mission
work.”
Wojcik hopes that she is
able to use her title as Miss
Teenage Canada to bring
awareness to mental health
struggles in youths, as well
as to help reduce stigma
around teen pregnancies.
“The stigma is that these
girls have no future or that
they are careless or pro-
miscuous. I’d like to show
these girls and the commu-
nity that their pasts won’t
completely defi ne their fu-
ture,” she said.
Wojcik will be graduating
this year from high school
and will be moving into a
pre-medicine program at
the University of Alberta
to pursue her dream of be-
coming an OB/GYN doctor
to improve women’s health.

BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
Gearing up for a fall conference Sept.
21st-22nd, Red Deer-based The Leadership
Centre is marking 15 years.
“We are very excited,” said Linda Wil-
son, the organization’s executive director.
“Our theme of the conference is Coura-
geous Leaders Inspiring Action.”
The third annual Leadership conference,
to take place at Westerner Park, features
speakers Dr. Henry Cloud, clinical psy-
chologist and business consultant; Sheldon
Kennedy, former NHL player and recipient
of the Order of Canada and Eva Olsson, au-
thor, speaker and Holocaust survivor.
“We’re having an alumni reception on
the Sunday night. It gives them a chance to
meet our speakers and a time to reconnect.
It’s a bit of a celebration on our 15 years
as a non-profi t here in Central Alberta,”
said Wilson, adding that the conference
features a blend of speakers in attendance
as well as others via video.
Kennedy’s talk, set for Sept. 21st at 7 p.m.
in the Parkland Pavilion, is open to the
public. Those not attending the conference
must pay $40, and non-conference youth
attendees can hear Kennedy for free.
“He’s offering an evening session which
is open to the community,” she said. “Any-
body can purchase a ticket to come join us
for that evening event. The doors open at
6:30 p.m. and Sheldon starts speaking at 7
p.m. We feel so passionate about Sheldon’s
story that we are opening it up to 14- to
18-year-olds to come for free. We want the
youth to hear this story.
“We still want people to register for it on-
line – so if a parent is coming with three or
four youth with them, we need them to go
to the ‘evening event’ tab. The adult would
register for their $40 they need to pay for
the evening, but they still need to list the
names of the children and sign them in
under youth. They don’t get charged any-
thing. It’s just for us to track numbers, so
we know how to prep for that evening.”
Those interested in attending Kennedy’s
talk, but who are unable to attend the con-
ference, can register for the evening event
at conference.theleadershipcentre.ca/eve-
ning-event.
As the Leadership Centre’s web site
points out, Kennedy has become an unof-
fi cial champion for millions of child abuse
survivors around the world.
“He talks about when anybody experi-
ences any kind of trauma and knowing the
importance of seeking help,” said Wilson.
“The next day, he will continue on speak-
ing more from a business perspective of
once he was ready to move forward, of how
he went about setting up the Sheldon Ken-
nedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary.”
After playing for Canada’s gold-medal
team in the 1988 World Junior Hockey
Championship, captaining the Memo-
rial Cup-winning Swift Current Broncos
in 1989 and an eight-year NHL career, he
made the courageous decision to charge
his Major Junior Hockey League coach
with sexual assault for abuse suffered over
a fi ve year period. To close out the confer-
ence, Olsson will be sharing as well. “She’ll
be sharing her story, and some of what
she shares will really be tying into what
the other speakers are talking about. So it
will be a great way to summarize the con-
ference. She talks also about what kind of
legacy are we leaving, and how do we move
forward in leaving a legacy of character.”
The Leadership Centre’s history stretch-
es back to June of 1999, when 50 commu-
nity leaders from the business, community
services, education and sport sectors met
to explore the idea of leadership develop-
ment for the region. In December of 2000
The Leadership Centre was established as
a Society with three priority areas - com-
munity leadership, sport leadership and
youth leadership. Meanwhile, Wilson said
people can still register for the conference
as a whole.
“We are taking registrations right on up
until the morning it starts.”

There isn’t much that singer Jess Moska-
luke isn’t applying her creative energies to
these days. With everything from a record-
breaking single and a new lip gloss line to
multiple accolades and awards including
her fi rst Juno nominations for Country
Album of the Year and Breakthrough Art-
ist of the Year, she is indeed dazzling the
country world.
Not to mention she also landed honours
for ‘Female Artist of the Year, for the sec-
ond year in a row at the Canadian Country
Music Awards this past weekend.
She’ll be performing Oct. 6th at the Cen-
trium as part of Paul Brandt’s fall tour.
“I am beyond thrilled – they are both
such huge names,” said Moskaluke of both
Brandt and Dean Brody. “And they’ve done
so much for our Canadian country music
industry. I’m beyond honoured to be part
of this tour.” Interestingly, the fi rst con-
cert she ever attended was a Paul Brandt
show. “So I’m really excited to join him on
tour because he has been such a huge in-
fl uence in her musical career.”
Meanwhile, her growing fan base is
evident with a online following in the mil-
lions, and receiving her offi cial Silver Play
Button Youtube award for breaking 100,000
subscribers. As mentioned, she won her
fi rst 2014 Canadian Country Music Asso-
ciation award for Female Artist of the Year
in addition to receiving two additional
nominations – Rising Star of the Year and
Interactive Artist of the Year.
She was also crowned the 2011 CCMA
Awards New Artist Showcase winner.
Produced by Corey Crowder and mixed
by Scott Cooke, her hit single Cheap Wine
and Cigarettes quickly became the highest
charting song on the iTunes top 200 singles
chart for any Canadian artist. With this
second single off of her 10-track CD Light
Up the Night, she also achieved gold record
status becoming the fi rst Canadian female
solo country artist to surpass 40,000-plus
downloads for a song since Shania Twain.
She then released Used last September,
followed by her latest single Night We
Won’t Forget this past January.
“It was so much fun working with Corey
Crowder and John Mark Cappers – never a
dull moment,” she said, refl ecting on her re-
cording experiences with the talented duo.
“Their hard work and dedication to
make that record really put my mind at
ease, and I know they worked night and
day to make sure we were all 100 per cent
happy with this album,” she said.
As to her start with music, it’s been a
rather natural and organic progression.
Her family wasn’t overly musical per se,
but they’ve always been extremely sup-
portive, she explained. “It wasn’t some-
thing I grew up doing, except singing in
the church choir a little bit.” Then a few
opportunities to solo surfaced, along with
some voice lesson opportunities. “The next
thing that happened was just putting some
stuff up on YouTube and again, it just pro-
gressed from there.
“I really fell in love with it all as it was
happening.”
As to country music in particular,
there’s much about it she loves includ-
ing the supportive community that seems
to be integral to the genre. “The thing I
love most about the genre are the fans in
particular – they are so loyal and they are
such a welcoming community.” Also, with
country melding with sensibilities from
other genres from pop to rock to hip-hop
these days, the opportunities to stretch
one’s creative muscles are plentiful. There
really hasn’t been a better time to be in the
country music industry, she pointed out.
“I have more freedom musically than I feel
like I have ever had in my life, and that’s
really fun to experiment with to be able to
fi nd my own sound.”
Her debut single Good Lovin’ hit number
17 on the Canadian country BDS charts
and was featured on the Country Hits 2014
compilation CD.
Last April, Good Lovin’ also won Song of
the Year at the 2014 Saskatchewan Coun-
try Music Awards in addition to her also
receiving both a 2014 SCMA Fan Choice
Entertainer of the Year nod and her sec-
ond consecutive SCMA Female Vocalist of
the Year title.
On a more personal note, she recalls a
saying of John Wayne - “Courage is being
scared to death but saddling up anyway.”
She can still hear her father sharing this,
encouraging her as she contemplated what
the future might hold.
Sadly, he passed away in 2006 after a
lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis, but
his memory lives on in her music.
“My dad is my hero for teaching me how
to be brave, and that being brave is not the
absence of fear, but rather in the presence
of fear possessing the ability to overcome
emotions and persevere,” she said.
These days, when she is not on the road
touring, she primarily splits her time be-
tween her home base in Saskatchewan and
writing in Nashville. And she’s busy gear-
ing up for the release of her new EP Kiss
Me Quiet on Sept. 25th. The six-song EP
also includes two acoustic tracks. Moska-
luke likes to release EPs on a consistent ba-
sis as it keep fans receiving new material.
“I feel like EPs allow an artist to release
music more frequently – you can constant-
ly keep the music fresh.
“It’s really a fun, upbeat, country-pop al-
bum. It’s something I’m really proud of in
terms of the collection of songs.”

concert, check out www.ticketmaster.ca.

Thanks to the Coors One Horse Town
event, Canadian country music stars The
Road Hammers will be in Lacombe to rock
on Sept. 18th.
They will join country star Tim Hicks on
the stage for the event, and the two groups
are promising to bring a special song made
just for the event which will be held in La-
combe’s historic downtown.
“Of course, we’ll do all the singles people
are familiar with and all of that but we’re
also going to do a couple of new things that
we’ve been working on. Also, I think we’re
going to team up with Tim to write a song
that’s special to the event. I’m really excited
about that,” said frontman Jason McCoy.
“We’re working on that and a new re-
cord, which is due out early in the spring.
It’s funny that this band started to sort of
launch my solo career and it was just sup-
posed to be a fun, one-off record but it’s
turned into a big thing. There’s never end-
ing inspiration working with Chris (Byrne)
and Clay (Bellamy). It’s just a lot of fun.”
McCoy founded the band in 2004 as a way
to move along his solo career. He said that
he, Byrne and Bellamy expected to only
make a single record but that the project
turned into something much more. To
date, The Road Hammers have released
four albums, the most recent being Wheels
in 2014.
The band has won Canadian Country
Music Association awards as well as Juno
Awards, and is nominated this year again.
The group is up for the Group of the Year
Award through the Canadian Country Mu-
sic Association, and they were nominated
for Country Album of the Year Award for
Wheels with the Juno Awards.
McCoy spent time in his early childhood
living in rural Alberta, and he said he’s ex-
cited to return.
“It’s really neat because I’m from On-
tario, so everyone was vying for Shelburne
but I did spend some time growing up in
Alberta, down south of Camrose. I’ve got
two homes – I’m pretty lucky that Alberta
is a second home for me,” McCoy said.
“I love the area. My favourite part of the
prairies is right around Lacombe, Camrose
and those areas. I love the pastureland out
there and love the way it all looks. That
area has some of my fi rst memories – I love
the prairies.”
Hicks and The Road Hammers share a
management label and both groups have
a close relationship with Country Music
Television (CMT). Thanks to the partner-
ships of Coors, CMT and their record label,
the One Horse Town event is sure to rock
the region.
“CMT kind of kicked it off and partnered
with the folks at Coors. It’s something that
each of us has always wanted to do – a con-
test to give away an impromptu concert in
a small town. Coors has a reach that is able
to pull that off,” McCoy explained.
“I just want to say thanks to everybody
who voted, and to Coors and CMT, and es-
pecially Lacombe for having us.”
The song being co-written by The Road
Hammers and Hicks is being created espe-
cially for the event. In the past, the musi-
cians have spent time together and McCoy
said the experience should be a very posi-
tive one.
“Doing a song with Tim Hicks is going
to be fun. We don’t really know much, but
when you go in to record it’s just fun. You
don’t know where it’s going to go, but we
always enjoy hanging out with him so it’ll
be a cool thing to do,” McCoy said.
The group is currently working on new
material for an album they will share at
the One Horse Town event. The new album
is expected to be released in early spring
of 2016.
“Times change and recording technology
is always changing and it’s interesting. I
really enjoy the process of making the re-
cords. I’d say where we evolved is our song
writing. We have a lot of fun with it now, and
we’ve had some success so we don’t take it
too seriously. We write and enjoy making
records. It’s song-driven and a lot of fun.
I’m not even sure how else we’ve evolved
but I’m glad we have,” McCoy laughed.
Tickets for the One Horse Town event
were limited and are currently sold out,
but fans can follow The Road Hammers on
social media and other online avenues.

and some good. When the bad
start outnumbering the good, you
may experience negative health
symptoms. This is where probiot-
ics come in.
The word probiotics literally
means ‘life-promoting’. Accord-
ing to the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Na-
tions, probiotics are, “Live mi-
croorganisms, which, when ad-
ministered in adequate amounts
confer a health benefi t to the
host.” Friendly, live bacteria
and yeasts are naturally found
throughout your body, but the
cultures found in certain foods,
drinks, and supplements are
known as probiotics.
Probiotics help keep a balance
of good and bad bacteria necessary
for good health. In a healthy gut,
90% of the bacteria are friendly, but
when things like taking a round of
antibiotics, eating the wrong types
of foods, a lack of sleep, drug use,
emotional stress, and certain dis-
ease and infection occur, the deli-
cate balance of microfl ora in your
body can be disrupted.
Studies have shown that as pro-
biotics bring balance in the diges-
tive system they’re able to help
treat certain conditions such as
infl ammatory bowel disease, ir-
ritable bowel syndrome, lactose
intolerance, and diarrhea caused
by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or
antibiotics.
Increasing research shows pro-
biotics may also have a powerful
effect on your immune system.
Because of this, they help ward
off colds and allergies; relieve
skin conditions such as acne
and eczema; and prevent vaginal
and urinary tract infections and
autoimmune disorders includ-
ing Crohn’s disease, ulcerative
colitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Probiotics may even play a role in
weight control.
There are several types of pro-
biotics, but the two most common
are lactobacillus and bifi dobacte-
rium. With more than 50 species,
lactobacillus is found naturally
throughout your body as well as
in fermented foods like yogurt and
supplements. The 30 different spe-
cies of bifi dobacterium are mostly
found in your colon and are also
present in certain dairy products.
Other foods that contain probiot-
ics include kefi r, sauerkraut, dark
chocolate, pickles, miso soup, tem-
peh, and kombucha tea.
Each food source and supple-
ment contains various types of
probiotics, each with its own pos-
sible effect on your health. Some
scientists claim the type of pro-
biotic you take ought to depend
on your sex, age, and symptoms.
Food sources of probiotics are
better for you than pills, since
they combine other valuable nu-
trients along with the probiotic.
But supplements are a conve-
nient way to get a high amount of
probiotics at once, so they may be
a good option for busy folks.
As with other supplements, the
health claims of probiotics aren’t
backed by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, but the FDA has
enacted regulations that require
supplements to be accurately la-
beled, free of contaminates, and
manufactured in a safe manner.
If you suffer from a chronic ill-
ness, speak with your doctor be-
fore taking probiotics. Otherwise,
probiotic foods and supplements
are considered safe for most peo-
ple. As research continues in this
fascinating fi eld, probiotics hold
much promise for the future of
health and wellness.
Your gastrointestinal tract is
home to approximately 100 tril-
lion microorganisms. These mi-
croscopic creatures have several
important jobs in your gut. They
help digest food, keep food mov-
ing through the intestines, absorb
vitamins and nutrients, enhance
the immune system, and process
certain medications.
Whenever starting a new nutri-
tion supplement, it’s always best
to double check with your doctor
just in case. They can give you a
lead on which one is best for you
and why. Knowledge is power!

Kalisha Mendonsa/Red Deer Express
32 Red Deer Express Wednesday, September 16, 2015
In Thunder Bay, Ontar-
io, recently, while giving
a talk, I found my mouth
watering. I mentioned that
I was just 150 miles away
from Quetico Park where
I had spent two months
alone years ago doing fi sh
research. I said the high-
est priced meal in the world
could not compete with a
yellow pickerel cooked over
a camp fi re. Which now
brings me to the health
benefi ts of eating fi sh.
We are often told we
should eat fi sh as they’re
a good choice for lean pro-
tein. People in Iceland eat
a whopping 220 lbs. of fi sh
a year. The average North
American eats a paltry 16
lbs. annually, including
fi sh sticks!
This difference is in part
due to the worry about
potential dangers. For in-
stance, mercury accumu-
lates in the lean tissue of
some fi sh and it can cross
the placental barrier dur-
ing pregnancy. So too much
mercury can cause fetal
brain damage. In adults,
excessive amounts can in-
jure the heart.
Dioxins and polychlori-
nated biphenyls (PCBs) are
found in the fatty tissue of
fi sh and animal examina-
tion shows they can cause
cancer. Researchers are
concerned these agents
may be carcinogenic in hu-
mans and also trigger neu-
rological problems.
But there are still many
benefi ts from eating fi sh.
Two research groups, the
Harvard School of Public
Health and the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) analyzed
the pros and cons of fi sh
in the diet. Harvard re-
searchers found adequate
evidence that eicosapen-
taenoic (EPA) and docosa-
hexaenoic (DHA), two ome-
ga-3 fatty acids in fi sh, were
important for good vision,
the immune response, nor-
mal skin physiology and
for fetal and infant develop-
ment. And aboriginals who
have a high dietary intake
of fi sh have less heart dis-
ease.
Another study reported
in Archives of Ophthalmol-
ogy showed women who
ate fi sh three times a week
had a 42% lower risk of age-
related macular degenera-
tion, the leading cause of
blindness in older people.
A study at the University
of Pittsburgh should also
prompt more people to visit
fi sh counters. MRI scans
of the brains of those eat-
ing broiled or baked fi sh,
but not fried, had greater
volumes of gray matter in
the brain’s frontal and tem-
poral lobes. This matter is
responsible for memory
and learning. These are the
areas severely affected in
Alzheimer’s disease.
So although there is
some contamination from
eating fi sh, the benefi t far
outweighs the small risk. A
healthy diet should include
two three-ounce servings
of fi sh a week.
For instance, a three-
ounce serving of farmed
salmon contains over 2,000
milligrams (mg) of omega-3
fats. But the same amount
of shrimp eaten more than
any other type of seafood
by North Americans has
only 250 mg., catfi sh 150mg.
and lobster 71 mg.
Arctic char provide more
Vitamin D than any other
fi sh, with scallops a close
second. Oysters are the
highest in Vitamin B12 and
iron. You can’t beat tuna
for its high potassium con-
tent and for calcium no fi sh
can match crawfi sh.
Do I have a last request
before I leave this planet?
Yes, it’s a heaven with lots
of lakes loaded with yellow
pickerel.

SPORTSBY KALISHA MENDONSARed Deer Express
Members of the Alberta Slopestyle
Ski Team gathered recently at one of
Canada’s few water ramp facilities, lo-
cated at Three Mile Bend, to continue
their training.
The team was operational for a num-
ber of years, before taking a two-year
hiatus.
Now a new set of coaches, train-
ers and athletes have revived the team
with intensity and desire to further the
sport. The team has been travelling to
various facilities since June, includ-
ing Red Deer’s water ramp, to enhance
their skills and performance.
“These are the kids that excel from
the local clubs to a provincial level,
moving into a kind of development pro-
gram that prepares them for a national
stream. For example, these would feed
into X-Games, the Olympics, etc.,” said
head coach Chris Ebbern.
“It’s been a super positive experience
with these guys. I’ve been coaching for
17 years, and I used to compete myself.
I’ve been lucky enough to do it all over
the world. I used to run the Fernie Free-
style Ski program, so it’s a good step up
for me to move into an elite program
with dedicated athletes that want to go
to the big show, the Olympics being the
big allure these days.”
The Alberta Slopestyle Team consists
of athletes Colin Bridger, Brayden Trit-
ter, Dustin Cressey, Sam McKeown and
Spencer Saltys, with Ebbern as head
coach. All members are excited to be a
part of the team.
“It’s kind of a new experience for
our coaches and all of our trainers this
year. It’s pretty exciting. There was
a team in the past but it didn’t really
work out. People have been refi ning it
for two years, so we’re all pretty excited
to see how it goes. It’s really making a
good step forward right now, so it’s re-
ally exciting,” said Cressey.
Cressey is currently dealing with an
injury, but is looking forward to train-
ing with his team again soon.
“I’m just trying to look at all the posi-
tives of getting some time off my skis.
As much as I love it, sometimes you just
need a little break to get your head in
the right spot, so that when you come
back you can compete at your highest
level and to your best ability,” he said.
Saltys said that he was excited to be
a part of the team because it provides a
new level of training and skill develop-
ment that he hadn’t had before.
“The training is just so much more
than it was with the lower level teams.
This is preparing you for the national
level of competition - it’s more in-depth
and you have more training that works
you harder,” he said.
“We haven’t done much yet but I think
it’ll be a good year for me and the boys.
We’ll defi nitely see some progression
with all of our teams and our coaches.
I like our coaches and the team is defi -
nitely a sweet team, that’s for sure,” he
added.
McKeown explained that slopestyle
skiing runs combine rail techniques
with jumps and tricks. He said that he
fi nds slopestyle to be a more diffi cult
genre of skiing technique because of its
incorporation of multiple styles.
“This year I’m really hoping to get to
bigger competitions, and place a little
bit better in those competitions. I want
to raise my AFP ranking (Association
of Freeskiing Professionals) and keep
working my way up so that I can do
the biggest competitions that I can,” he
said.
The Sochi, Russia Olympics were the
fi rst Games that included the slopestyle
category. The athletes of the team said
they believe the sport will only contin-
ue to grow in popularity.
“Even though the sport has pro-
gressed so much in the past few years,
it’s really something to keep an eye out
for because it’s so new. It’s only going
to progress further and further,” said
Cressey.
“We’re kind of the second genera-
tion of riders in this sport, because the
coaches that we have now are the guys
that really started progressing it. They
were the ones messing around and see-
ing what was possible.”
Members of the team will travel next
to Calgary to begin preparing for fall
and winter training.
Cressey said, “We, as the Alberta
Team, are always trying to do stuff that
hasn’t been done before. Even if it’s
minor, you could be the fi rst person in
the world to do a trick and that’s pretty
awesome to be part of.”
DETERMINED– Sam McKeown, 16, of the Alberta Slopestyle Ski Team, focused to pull off big air at the Three Mile Bend water ramp facility in Red Deer. Ski groups, such as McKeown’s, use the facility to train over the summer months. Kalisha Mendonsa/Red Deer Express

Peter Won made his de-
but on the Canada Wheel-
chair Basketball team this
year, and was pleased with
his experience at the 2015
Toronto Parapan American
Games.
His team placed second
overall in the event, and
will now be heading to Rio
de Janeiro next year to
compete in the Olympics.
Won was born in Seoul,
South Korea but has spent
time residing in Black-
falds. Currently he is look-
ing forward to the move to
Toronto to prepare for the
journey to Brazil.
“It was my fi rst year on
the national team and to
play with them in front of
those crowds is amazing.
We’ve done what we need-
ed to do for our placing, so
we’re going to Rio de Janei-
ro next year,” Won said.
“Playing in front of such
big crowds was different.
There were probably 4,000
people in the gym and it’s
just great.”
Team Canada lost to
Team Brazil in the semi-
fi nals, but Won said that he
and his teammates played a
great game.
He was proud of his
team, and is looking for-
ward to the next stint of
his journey to becoming an
Olympic champion.
“The semi-fi nal game
against Brazil was interest-
ing. We had to be in the top
two to go to Rio next year,
and all of us played amaz-
ingly in that game. We beat
Brazil by quite a few points
and it was pretty cool,”
Won recalled, saying it was
an impactful game.
“My ultimate goal is to
win gold in the Paralym-
pics, so being on this team
is another stepping stone.
I trained with the team be-
fore I was technically on it,
so I kind of made steps to-
wards actually being a part
of it,” he said.
“You have to be at a cer-
tain skill level to train with
the national team.
“I went to university in
the U.S., because there are
college leagues for wheel-
chair basketball. I played
there for a little bit, and our
team actually had a Cana-
dian coach so that kind of
helped me connect with the
national team.”
Prior to the PanAm
Games, Won travelled with
his team to Germany to
train against the national
team there.
He said that experience
was exciting and it helped
the guys prepare mentally
and physically for their To-
ronto PanAm Games expe-
rience.
Although this was his
fi rst year with the team,
Won has trained with
them prior and is looking
forward to continuing to
develop the team over the
next year.
“Most of us are going to
Toronto to train together
basically every day until
we leave for Rio. It’s a lot of
grind work but we’re going
to do what we need to. I’m
going back to Toronto at
the end of the month, and
I’ll be living there until the
Rio Paralympics,” he ex-
plained.
“I’ve got to work on not
eating too much pizza!” he
laughed.
“But seriously, I’ve got to
work on my technique and
the rest of my skills. We do
have a sports psychologist
to help us with the mental
side of training and she
talks to us about prepara-
tion, routines and things
like that.”
In 2014, Won received
his invite to try out for the
team.
This year alone his skills
have improved, granting
him and his teammates
second place overall at the
Parapan American Games,
second place at the Ameri-
cas Challenge in Toronto
and fourth place at the
Lakeshore Cup in Burm-
ingham, U.S.A.
Won said he looks for-
ward to continuing to
develop his skills and to
improve as an athlete. Ul-
timately, he wants to be a
Paralymic medallist and is
training to reach that level.

Life certainly took a chilly turn last
week!
We went from summer straight into a
weird rainy pre-winter. I’m hoping we still
get a warm sunny fall but with the snow
already happening in parts of Alberta it is
prudent to get into winter mode for your
home and your person.
Scrambling to fi nd boots and warm
shoes and digging socks out of the drawers
for the fi rst time in months has been the
scenario in almost every home.
The only time I wore socks this summer
was to take my dog to the park so the little
guy got pretty excited the other day – try
explaining to him that my feet are just cold
and that were weren’t going for a walk!
There are many good things about the
chilly weather that I think we all do in-
stinctively.
Soups and stews become common fair
which make supper preparation easy as
you can let something delicious simmer
away on the stove while you keep search-
ing for those mitts you know were around
in the spring.
I personally fi nd I sleep better in this
weather, it’s so nice to get into bed in a cool
room under the weight of your favorite
duvet instead of always throwing the blan-
kets around trying to get cool.
This might be your last opportunity to
air out your linens and hang them on the
line (if you are lucky enough to have one)
or across patio furniture.
There is nothing like the fresh aroma of
blankets brought in from outside!
Winter warm ups can also be applied to
your home through insulating blinds or
draperies, heating under almost any prod-
uct for your fl oor and fuzzy textiles and
rugs for your home.
You might even consider painting a cool
room a hot colour to give it the impression
of warmth as visual stimulation triggers
thoughts and feelings in our brains – you
may be able to trick the mind a little.
Space heaters and heated blankets can
also create temporary warm zones in your
house eliminating the temptation to con-
stantly inch up the temperature in your
entire house.
Warmth can be achieved through sight,
sound and smell and it imparts a glow into
your home. When coffee is brewing or
bread is baking your house envelops you
in a sense of warmth and comfort.
Lighting can be brightened using differ-
ent choices in bulbs or even a throwback to
the 70s heat lamp using coloured bulbs in
certain areas for decorative effect.
You may chuckle but those of us old
enough to know have all sat in a bathroom
under a heat lamp and have enjoyed the
warmth.
Fill your home with the sound of a crack-
ling fi replace – even if you don’t have one!
Play the music of the Caribbean and
maybe grill indoors to give you that one
last hit of summer.
Like it or not, winter is on its way; what
fun tricks will you employ to keep the
mood cuddly and warm in your home this
fall?
We all have our rituals and seasonal tradi-
tions that help us to accept the cold that is
to come, now if you will excuse me I’m off
for my fi rst Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year!
Stay cozy everyone.

EFFICIENT – This kitchen and breakfast nook in a Falcon Homes show home in Red Deer are sure to make meal preps a breeze. Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express
HOMES & LIVING

Do you remember the
fi rst time you met that ‘out
of this world’ family, the
Jetsons? While we may not
have fl ying cars or robot
maids just yet, the idea of
a ‘smart home’ is very real.
Take a step closer to this
futuristic way of life with
these fi ve thoughtful addi-
tions that can go a long way
in boosting the intelligence
of your home.
The kitchen is the hub
of the home and it sees a
lot more than just meal
prep and dinnertime. From
homework to paying bills
and a spot for casual con-
versation, your family is
expecting more from this al-
ready hard-working space.
According to a recent re-
search study by Moen, the
kitchen is the number one
room in the house where
homeowners would like to
incorporate technology.
1. Tablets and smart
phones likely end up on
the kitchen counter − the
Moen study found that
one-third of respondents
charge their devices in the
kitchen. This task can be
simple and cord-free with
products like new Corian
countertops from DuPont
featuring wireless chargers
that are seamlessly embed-
ded into the counter sur-
face. Not in the market for
new countertops? A simple
docking and charging sta-
tion will create a home for
your devices. Look for one
with a built-in USB power
strip to maximize the num-
ber you can charge at once.
A central spot for electron-
ics will keep them out of
the way, but also easily ac-
cessible.
2. At the top of consum-
ers’ tech wish list for the
kitchen is a hands-free
faucet. Imagine the conve-
nience of having a faucet
that can sense what you’re
trying to accomplish, and
with a simple wave of your
hand, immediately re-
sponds to your needs. The
slim and sleek new ST�
pulldown faucet with Mo-
tionSense from Moen does
just that, offering you three
ways to operate the faucet.
In addition to the tradition-
al handle, you can activate
it by using the Wave Sensor
– by waving your hand to
turn it on and off – or the
Ready Sensor – by placing
your hands or an object
under the spout. Now your
faucet can intuitively re-
spond to your every need,
while adding superior style
to the sink.
Do you love jamming out
to your favourite playlist
while working around the
house? Long gone are the
days of shuttling your ste-
reo system from room to
room. Instead, let the So-
nos smart system of HiFi
wireless speakers and au-
dio components unite your
digital music collection.
You can control what’s
streaming from any device,
and the music can be heard
in any room.
Think being able to
switch up the lighting is
a big deal? Think again.
New smart LED lightbulbs
can become any colour
or brightness level at any
time you like. And best of
all, they can be controlled
by your smart phone. The
ability to customize colour
can radically improve a
room’s appearance and
your state of mind. By op-
timizing your lighting for
your activities in the room -
reading, working, relaxing,
entertaining and more -
you can actually enjoy your
home more, all at the touch
of a smart phone button.
