BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

Lacombians big and small

are coming together to sup-

port three families after

their homes were destroyed by

fi re.

After the large fi re in Henner’s

Pointe on July 29th that left three

families without their homes, a

number of community initiatives

have been started to benefi t them.

All of them are seeing tremen-

dous support.

When Sue Sage, offi ce manager

of Lacombe Storage, heard si-

rens near her home that Tuesday

morning, she knew whatever was

happening was close by.

It didn’t take her long to learn

of the fi re in Henner’s Pointe. As

soon as she did, Sage texted her

boss, asking if it would be alright

to donate a vacant mobile storage

unit to take donations for those

affected by the fi re.

Sage said her immediate deci-

sion to aid those victims prob-

ably stemmed from knowing she

would want help if the positions

were reversed.

She added that she decided to

donate a space for other dona-

tions because it was the only way

she knew how to help.

“I guess I was thinking of our-

selves,” said Sage. “What if that

were my kids?”

Between 10 and 11 a.m. La-

combe Storage took to facebook

to notify people that they would

be accepting donations.

Sage said it took no time at all

for the community to heed the

call. “It was instant,” said Sage.

“Before we could even back this

portable unit into its spot, I had

an offi ce full of bags.”

Days after the fi re, donations

were still coming in a steady

stream. “It was just insane the

amount that showed up,” said

Sage. “That same night, every

time we tried to lock up and leave

after hours, somebody was honk-

ing at the gate trying to get in to

drop off donations so we were

here until 8 o’clock that fi rst

night.”

Sage said that Lacombe Stor-

age has had some incredibly

helpful volunteers come to assist

them in sorting through all the

donations as well.

She added that she is grateful

to her boss for being so under-

standing and supportive of this

initiative as it has taken Sage

away from her regular duties.

“God bless my boss because I

have hardly done any work in the

last two days,” said Sage.

Lacombe Storage has received

support from other businesses as

well. When some people wishing

to drop off donations were hav-

ing trouble fi nding the location,

Strand Media donated a printed

sign to help identify the business.

Lacombe Storage has also

started up a trust fund with Ser-

vus Credit Union as well. If any-

one is looking to donate, the name

on the fund is Lacombe Storage

Fire Victims.

They aren’t the only business-

es to help out either.

On Aug. 1st, Lacombe Sobeys

began accepting monetary dona-

tions for the families affected in

the blaze. Lynda Bouchard, co-

owner of the Lacombe Sobeys,

said that the store commonly

participates in nation-wide fund-

raising campaigns that support

local foodbanks and always see

tremendous support.

In fact, a day before accepting

donations for the Henner’s Pointe

fi re victims, Sobeys had wrapped

up its Christmas In July Cam-

paign where they raised nearly

$13,000. Bouchard said she had

similar thoughts to Sage regard-

ing the fi re and why she should

help.

“This is one of those things

that just kind of hit home,” said

Bouchard. “It could have been

any one of us.”

When trying to decide what

to do to help, Bouchard remem-

bered how successful the food

and other charity campaigns run

by the store were and decided to

do something similar, knowing it

would be supported by the com-

munity.

“We know that this community

steps up,” said Bouchard.

“Even fi ve dollars each from

half of our customers in a day is

going to make a signifi cant im-

pact.”

Younger members of the com-

munity have stepped up as well.

Seven-year-old Melaya Armson

and fi ve-year-old brother Rylan

were quite shaken up and scared

by the incident.

Their mother, Nicole, talked

things over with her children and

they decided to help in order to

have something good come out of

the tragedy.

They came up with the idea of

having a lemonade stand with the

proceeds going to one of the fami-

lies displaced by the fi re.

They got some help from neigh-

bour Morgan Provost, 9, and to-

gether they raised nearly $400 in

just a few hours of selling lemon-

ade and cookies on their fi rst day.

“Everybody has been extreme-

ly generous,” said Nicole.

Sage said the community’s re-

action to this tragic event tells

her that she and her husband

picked the right place to start a

family.

She added she appreciates the

strong community feeling La-

combe has.

“It just shows that we can have

City status but we still have a

small town heart and sense of

community,” said Sage. Boucha-

rd agreed.

“It just says we live in the best

community in Canada.”

I’ve always wanted to live

in Scotland.

Although my family has

lived in North America for

over 250 years, I am well

aware Scotland is where

we came from. And if you

think that’s a lousy reason

to go back - you’re probably

right. In reality, I’m not

sure Scotland and I would

become best friends.

Its cold, wet weather

would test my patience to

the extreme. For another,

there is barely a Scot alive

who knows how to bake

pumpkin pie.

I should stick to the part

of the world I know. Yet,

this doesn’t change my ex-

perience. Whether it’s sen-

timentality or something

more, there is a very real

part of me that wants to go

‘home.’ The Christian faith

has long observed a similar

experience in the heart.

The French philosopher,

Blaise Pascal, for example,

said that, “There is a God-

shaped vacuum in the

heart of every man.”

The author of the Bib-

lical book, Ecclesiastes,

wrote that God has, “Set

eternity in the human

heart.” Both expressed that

humans instinctively know

something is not quite right

in this world, and that we

will not be satisfi ed until

it is. In their opinions, we

were born homesick.

But, assuming they were

right, what would home

look like, once found?

Christians commonly

describe it as a heavenly

city that cannot be fully de-

fi ned. But, there is an enor-

mous part of our society

with little interest in any

such hope. They believe

themselves to desire that

which is inherently known

by all to be good: fair gov-

ernment, fair economy, fair

opportunity—in this life!

Can this be compatible

with the Christian expecta-

tion of home? I believe so.

One of the fascinating

events in Canadian history

is the emergence of the

‘Quebecois.’ The term was

popularized when the secu-

lar government of Quebec

appropriated much of the

Roman Catholic church’s

role in the public life of

that province. This is to

say that, up until the 1960s,

most of Quebec’s social

services had been adminis-

tered by the church.

Education, health care,

social assistance all fell un-

der the church’s purview.

But, as Quebec rapidly sec-

ularized, it was determined

the government, not the

church, ought to oversee

such things from then on.

My interest in this sub-

ject has little to do with

whether these events were

good or bad. What does in-

terest me is why the church

was doing what it was doing

in the fi rst place. Why were

these people so involved in

shaping the social fabric?

The answer is many

of them were longing for

home. Ingrained within us

are convictions regarding

how the world ought to be.

When we fi nd our convic-

tions in confl ict with reali-

ty, we are hurt, and the best

of us work hard to remedy

what we can.

For all the faults of the

church, this is the fervent

motivation behind count-

less gracious servants

within Quebec’s Catholic

congregations - and the

church-at-large - who have

laboured to improve public

life. On the other hand, it

is the same motivation for

endless folks who do not

profess the Christian God.

Let me put it this way, to

avoid being misunderstood:

my Christian hope is I will

experience ‘home’ in the

fullest sense of the word.

I work to establish home

in the here and now; in

tangibles that bring posi-

tive change to the everyday

lives of myself and those

around me. I cannot wait

until Christ comes to com-

plete this work, as I believe

only he can. And so, Chris-

tian or not, I ask you, is

it home that you’ve been

longing for, as well? And, if

it is, how are you planning

to fi nd it?

Jamie Veitch is the Pastor of Small Groups and Leader-ship Development at Lacombe Pentecostal.

What does the search for home really mean?

A golf tournament will take

place this month in honour of a

special young boy.

The Lukey’s Light Charity Golf

Classic is set for Aug. 23rd at the

Lacombe Golf and Country Club.

It will be a fun-fi lled day with 18

holes of golf including a number

of prizes, hole activities, draws,

raffl es and silent auction items.

The tournament will be in

memory of a Lacombe boy who

passed away earlier this year.

Lukas Stephen Matthew Oszust

was born Aug. 15, 2011 with a se-

vere, undiagnosed heart defect.

Five days later he became le-

thargic and was off-colour at

home. After rushing into the Red

Deer Hospital, Lukas was trans-

ported via STARS to the Stollery

Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.

Days later when Lukas stabilized

the family learned of a rare con-

dition that Lukas was diagnosed

with called hypoplatic left heart

syndrome. Lukas’ heart was not

formed properly. He basically had

only half of a functioning heart

and the left side was completely

underdeveloped.

Matt and Kathy, Lukas’ par-

ents, also learned Lukas would

require three open-heart surger-

ies that would take place over the

course of a three-year period.

On Aug. 29, 2011, Lukas went

into the operating room for his

fi rst procedure. After the surgery

took much longer than Matt and

Kathy had anticipated, the sur-

geon spoke with them and said

they had trouble getting Lukas’

heart to start up again and he

would be hooked up to a machine

called ECMO which pumped his

heart and provided oxygenated

the blood through his body.

The surgeon said if Lukas’

heart didn’t begin beating on its

own within 10 days, then it prob-

ably wouldn’t happen.

The family began watching

the monitor for any signs and on

Sept. 3rd, 2011 his heart began to

beat by itself without any help.

Due to being on the ECMO and

the needed blood thinners to run

the machine without clotting, Lu-

kas developed some damage to

his brain. His kidneys were also

damaged, but still worked with a

bit of help from some medicine.

Lukas spent the next nine

months in the hospital recovering

and working towards the second

heart surgery.

On May 1st, 2012 Lukas had his

second surgery. Again, Lukas’

body did not react how the doc-

tors thought it would. There were

adjustments needed so they had

to go back and re-do the surgery

two days later. Things did not

work and the doctors could not

fi gure it out. Lukas was incubat-

ed and his head was swelling and

the blood in his head could not

drain as fast as it was collecting.

Doctors decided it was time to

go in and perform his third open-

heart surgery within days of

each other. After the surgery, the

Oszust family was still left with-

out answers. Lukas’ head was

still swollen and he still required

a breathing tube. His central IV

line had also now developed a

fungal infection which had start-

ed growing in his blood.

Miraculously two weeks later

the infection was gone.

On June 25th, 2012 the breath-

ing tube was removed and Lu-

kas was doing much better. His

kidneys did not recover from the

string of surgeries though and he

would rely on peritoneal dialysis

to fi lter his blood.

Lukas spent the next fi ve

months getting stronger.

On Dec. 1st, 2012 after spend-

ing 16 months in the hospital, he

made it home. Due to his require-

ments, the doctors wanted 24/7

care for him. They were able to

secure some government funding

and hired night care workers.

Lukas needed oximeters to

monitor his oxygen levels and a

blood pressure machine to check

his vitals daily. A special crib was

also needed for Lukas to main-

tain a proper incline to allow his

blood to drain normally. There

were also scales, IV poles, feeding

pumps and more. While some of

the equipment was covered un-

der assistance programs, not all

of it was. But the Oszusts made it

work and decided having Lukas

home with them and sister Lylah,

6, was the most important thing.

On Jan. 21st of this year, Lu-

kas was admitted to the Stollery

Children’s Hospital with an infec-

tion in his dialysis line. The next

day he underwent a procedure to

remove the infected line with the

hopes of putting a new one back

in a few days later. That didn’t

happen. Lukas passed away on

Jan. 24th with his family by his

side.

“Lukey was a light that shone

in our lives. He taught us a lot

about how to take a small thing

and how it can be made into a re-

ally awesome thing – something

as simple as a smile – and make

everyone’s lives so much better.

“To see the relationship between

him and his sister even though

there was never a word spoken,

yet, more love than I have ever

seen in my life between those

two, “ said Kathy. “People are ex-

cited for the golf tournament and

to see us not just laying around,

grieving him sadly, but doing

this to remember him by. Lukas

was a lot of fun and brought so

much joy into our lives. We want

to be able to show his joy through

something fun.

“His little short life has

changed our lives and so many

lives of others for the better and I

wouldn’t take any of that back for

anything. We get to bless other

people through our little blessing

too. We want people to know that

yes it’s been hard and it’s dark at

times, even now, but it can still be

made into something beautiful.”

Matt and Kathy wanted to hon-

our his memory and thought a

golf tournament would be a great

way to do so. Proceeds raised

will go towards helping families

with sick children attain medi-

cal equipment to maintain their

child’s health at home. As well,

the Oszusts’ hope is to include a

room sponsorship at the Ronald

McDonald House of Northern

Alberta. These funds would help

cover operating costs to run the

House, while at the same time re-

membering Lukas and the room

the family stayed in for so long

(Room 225). The funds would also

help provide ‘Home for Dinners’

at the House.

The hope is Lukey’s Light Golf

Classic will take place every year.

There is also talk about doing a

fundraising event in the winter.

terested in being a sponsor, visit

Summertime can be the time of

year when the best family memo-

ries are created.

From the traditional family road

trip across a province or a day trip

to a great outdoor pool, Albertans

have access to great amenities and

activities. Sadly, every summer

also creates some not so happy

memories.

It is unfortunately a time of year

when many towns and cities see

a spike in property crime. These

crimes, such as thefts from mo-

tor vehicles, vandalism and thefts

from sheds and garages can be

very upsetting.

You cannot help but feel violated

when your property has been tak-

en.

While insurance can cover the

cost of replacing items, insurance

cannot replace a tool that was spe-

cial because your grandfather had

given it to you or a set of golf clubs

that contained items your kids had

given you for Mother’s Day.

There is no one-step solution to

preventing crime. It is a complex

set of solutions that need to work

in coordination with each other.

We need to create environments

that discourage thefts.

Our local RCMP estimates that

as much as 95% of thefts from ve-

hicles are occurring from unlocked

vehicles.

The local detachment has tried

to raise awareness of this by leav-

ing yellow information cards in

unlocked cars throughout the com-

munity. By simply locking up and

making sure that valuables such

as purses, wallets and electronics

are not left in plain sight in the car,

we can reduce these crimes of op-

portunity. Taking time to meet our

neighbors is one of the best crime

prevention measures.

Getting to know who is a regular

part of our neighborhoods helps

us differentiate between regular

community activity and suspicious

activity. One of the challenges in

a fast-growing community like

Blackfalds is that there are always

new faces in the neighborhood.

We all need to build positive re-

lationships with neighbors. A few

months ago, I noticed my neighbor

had left their garage door open. A

quick knock on the door prevented

the home from becoming a target

and it also helped build trust be-

tween us.

Some of the crime seen this year

can unfortunately be attributed to

youth. It is extremely important

that we as parents continue to

provide structure and positive ac-

tivities for kids to channel their en-

ergy. Summer camps and part-time

jobs both help youth learn leader-

ship and responsibility.

The Town of Blackfalds is com-

mitted to supporting our local

youth by providing facilities such

as the Abbey Center that cater to

many age groups.

For those who have an interest

in policing, the Town of Blackfalds

has a Policing Committee that

makes recommendations to Town

council and to the RCMP as they

develop local service plans. It is im-

portant that residents provide in-

put and direction on how resources

are allocated. There are additional

community volunteer opportuni-

ties with our local Block Parents.

There are a number of online

resources people can turn to for

additional information on crime

prevention. The Central Alberta

Crime Prevention Center has a

web site with information as well

as a location in Red Deer to provide

support and guidance for people.

The Edmonton Police Service has

a wonderful selection of printable

tip sheets covering the complete ar-

ray of crime concerns from fraud

to personal safety. I am aware that

despite our best efforts, crimes will

continue to occur.

I do believe though we need to

participate in straightforward,

common sense solutions to pro-

tect ourselves. I also know that the

members of the Blackfalds RCMP

and local community peace offi cers

are committed to community polic-

ing and building relationships with

citizens. We need to work together

to address the cycles of crime and

build an atmosphere of long-term

community building to prevent as

much crime as possible.

Melodie Stol is the mayor of Black-falds.

In March, when Alison Redford

resigned as Premier of Alberta, we

thought that the Progressive Con-

servative Party of Alberta might be

able to pull themselves out of the

muck of scandal and remember

how to run a province.

Apparently, that won’t be the

case.

Mere months after Redford’s res-

ignation, the PC Party is once again

the target of much backlash after a

couple of controversial moves.

And this time, they can’t place

the blame on Redford.

Sure, Redford is once again un-

der fi re regarding her travel plans

for allegedly creating ‘ghost pas-

sengers’ to prevent her having to

fl y with others, but we already

knew that Redford cared little for

keeping Albertans’ trust or for pol-

icy when it came to travel.

More disconcerting is the gov-

ernment trying to play politics

with licence plates, or quietly lift-

ing the three-year wage freeze for

senior civil servants implemented

in February of 2013, a move the

government was very proud of at

the time.

It’s not like we thought bad gov-

ernment would end right away

when Redford left, but we thought

they would at least begin making

steps toward a government Alber-

tans could be proud of.

And actually, they did, to some

degree.

Just last week the Lacombe

Express commended the Alberta

Government for implementing Bill

11, which lifted the automatic pub-

lication ban on children who died

while in provincial care, only to

have the government turn around

and undo all that work by under-

handedly breaking yet another

promise to Albertans.

Have the members of Alberta’s

PC government already forgotten

they are trying to rekindle faith

in an electorate that doesn’t trust

them?

It’s not really something they

can afford to do.

Already, Danielle Smith leader

of the Wildrose Party, has taken

to Twitter to use Redford’s latest

scandal as a springboard to launch

an attack on PC leadership hopeful

Jim Prentice, telling Albertans to

remember that Prentice had a lav-

ish taste of his own when it came

to travel.

It’s past time for the Government

of Alberta to recognize that Alber-

tans will only take so much of this.

You can only break so many

promises before no one trusts you

anymore and the government has

already broken more than their

fair share of promises.

It’s time for the Alberta’s Pro-

gressive Conservative Party to

stop being unjust, unfair and un-

derhanded and begin making the

long overdue moves towards re-

sponsible, accountable transparent

government.

It’s time for the government to

start acting like a government, or

step aside and let someone else do

the job.

Lacombe City council has ap-

proved the master plan for the

Fairview Cemetery Expansion.

At their regular meeting on

July 28th, City council heard

a presentation from Commu-

nity Services Director Brenda

Vaughan that proposed a number

of changes to the Fairview Cem-

etery.

Included in the report were

proposals to approve the master

plan, amend policies regarding

interment and increase user fees.

Councillor Reuben Konnik said

he was taken aback by the “phe-

nomenal” cost increase for the

fi rst phase of the project.

Preliminary estimates for the

fi rst phase, which would pro-

vide the cemetery with a fi ve- to

eight-year supply of plots, came

in at $225,000 but now costs are

believed to come in at $427,593.25.

“I’m disappointed in the

$200,000 increase for Phase 1,”

said Konnik.

“That’s just Phase 1, never-

mind phases two through fi ve.

We’re going to be spending a lot

of money on this cemetery.

“It disappoints me - this in-

crease.”

Konnik added he was also dis-

appointed in the increasing fees.

He said he didn’t understand

why fees needed to increase just

because neighbouring municipal-

ities were increasing their fees.

“I fi nd that a poor justifi cation

to raise our rates, because we are

lower than everyone else.”

Vaughan said keeping fees

competitive with other munici-

palities is simply a mechanism

used to keep plots available for lo-

cal residents.

She added that individuals

from other municipalities might

purchase plots outside of their

own communities if they are

much cheaper.

Councillor Grant Harder also

had concerns to do with the

heightened cost of the project as

well as the increasing fees.

He said that, of late, the quotes

received by the City for work like

stripping and grading have been

incredibly low.

“We’re seriously underestimat-

ing the amount of stripping and

grading that’s required on all our

projects.”

Harder also suggested using

different options of fee increases

for residents and non-residents

so that Lacombians would not

be so drastically affected by the

change in price.

“That way, non-residents in-

vestigating the rates in Lacombe

would fi nd that they are competi-

tive but we don’t penalize our lo-

cal townspeople for passing away

in Lacombe,” said Harder.

He then later made a motion

to that effect - looking to raise

the fees to refl ect an average of

similar communities for non-res-

idents and raising fees to 80% of

calculated averages for residents.

The motion was then passed

and fee changes will come into ef-

fect as of Sept. 1st.

Council made and passed three

motions to approve the master

plan.

They also amended the number

of urns that can be placed in cer-

tain plots and adjusted user fees

for the cemetery as well.

The Town of Blackfalds is reminding citizens that prop-

er placement of bins is needed in order to facilitate the

automated pick-up process.

Garbage and recycling bins need to be at least one metre

(3 ft.) apart from each other as well as any surrounding

objects to ensure that the collection trucks have enough

room to do their job.

“Cart placement is what we’re trying to help people

with. When you change out 7,000 people’s garbage collec-

tion system, there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve,

but we’re just trying to catch the last few people,” said Phil

Hoyle, public works manager for the Town.

“In the summer, people are away and maybe they missed

the literature that came at the start of this. We’re just try-

ing to catch the last fi ve per cent, and help them to get it

placed properly.”

Carts are picked up by a truck with a mechanical arm,

which means the bins must be placed on the street or in

the alley with the wheels and handle toward the residence

and with the lid facing out and opening towards the road

or alley.

There are arrows on the top of the cart lid indicating the

proper placement.

A one-metre clearance from all objects such as fences,

parked vehicles, poles, or utility boxes must be left on all

four sides. As well, a three-metre overhead clearance from

trees and power lines is required.

If the bin is not compliant with Town regulations, a

green sticker will be placed on the container to let the resi-

dent know that there is an issue with placement or if the

bin exceeds weight restrictions.

Once the resident has complied with the waste and re-

cycling guidelines, the collections will empty the carts and

containers that were tagged on the next regular pick up

day.

“Residents aren’t typically placing all of their carts and

yard waste containers out every week,” said Hoyle.

“But, we estimate that we will have data on the in-

creased diversion of waste to the landfi ll as a result of the

new cart program in a few months’ time.”

There have been a few challenges rolling out the new

collection program so far.

Residents are asked to pay attention to and attempt to

resolve the following issues - proper placement of bins,

adjusting to an extra collection day, proper labeling of

addresses on carts and returning empty carts back onto

properties within 24 hours of collection.

The Town is also encouraging residents to visit the

Blackfalds web site to review what items can be placed in

regular garbage and recycling pick up.

This does not include yard waste, which offi cials say is

to be left in the old style cans that need to be emptied by

hand.

Acceptable recycling materials must be clean.

Items that can be recycled in the program include glass,

metals, newspapers, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard,

boxboard (cereal boxes, shoe boxes, etc.) and certain

plastics that are listed on the Blackfalds waste recycling

schedule page.

Add four more bronze to

Lacombe’s Alberta Sum-

mer Games medal total -

the basketball players are

coming home with hard-

ware.

Jonathan Ericson, Cale

Hamelin Carter McLena-

han and Andrew Cunning-

ham were part of the Zone

4 basketball team that took

the bronze medal, defeating

Zone 4 in the bronze fi nal.

Coach Jody Watson said

he couldn’t be happier with

how the team played and

added the medal victory

was actually quite unex-

pected.

“We didn’t have any huge

expectations,” said Watson.

“A bronze medal was cer-

tainly a pleasant surprise.”

Watson went on to say

that, traditionally, Zone 4

is not particularly strong in

basketball.

As such he was more

than happy with the third

place fi nish and said the

only teams Zone 4 lost to

were the fi rst and second

place fi nishers.

Cunningham said he too

was a little unsure of how

the team would perform.

“I don’t know if I expect-

ed to win a medal coming

in,” said Cunningham.

He added he knew there

would be some stiff com-

petition and wasn’t sure

if Zone 4 would be strong

enough to overcome that

competition.

While the expectations

for Zone 4 were not particu-

larly high before entering

the tournament, Watson

said it soon became clear

that the team had the drive

to go far.

“As soon as we started

playing you could tell the

guys were really, really

hungry for it,” said Watson.

“They put everything out

there every single game.”

Prior to the Alberta Sum-

mer Games, Cunningham

had said one of the things

he was looking forward to

was seeing what the com-

petition was like across

Alberta. What he learned

was that there is some stiff

competition in other zones.

“I found out there is a

lot of really talented bas-

ketball players,” said Cun-

ningham.

Watson said one of the

reasons the competition

was stiff is that many of

the zones can pull players

from larger and sometimes

more competitive pools.

“They can draw from so

many more players than we

possibly can.”

McLenahan said that,

while the larger centres

may have bigger pools of

players to choose from, he

thinks Central Alberta has

some excellent coaches and

very competitive players.

He added that one of the

things he was looking for-

ward to about the Alberta

Summer Games was meet-

ing and playing with new

players. Afterwards, he

said the experience did not

disappoint.

“It was really fun, I had

a really great time,” said

McLenahan. “They are an

awesome group of people

and really fun to hang

around. They really know

how to play basketball.”

In the bronze medal fi -

nal, Zone 4 was able to de-

feat Zone 5 handily in a 69-

46 game. Watson said this

was due to Zone 4 peaking,

putting on the pressure

and the loss of a key Zone 5

player halfway through the

game.

With the large score gap,

Watson was able to make

sure everyone got to play in

the bronze medal game.

“To get everybody in that

bronze medal game was

really great for those play-

ers.”

As with many of the

Alberta Summer Games

teams, the basketball team

had some diffi culty devel-

oping a team chemistry at

fi rst.

Luckily, Watson had

some time to get them

ready and planned several

practice sessions in each of

the communities that play-

ers had been drawn from to

help bring the team togeth-

er. In addition to the prac-

tices, the team even got the

chance to play together in a

few tournaments before the

games.

Watson said the team re-

ally came together when it

counted.

“They did so many little

things right,” said Watson.

“We played our best game

in our last game so they

were just kind of peaking

at the right time.”

The Alberta Summer

Games, which ran July 24-

27th, featured an array of

sports including baseball,

canoe/kayak, cycling (BMX

and Mountain Bike), la-

crosse, rugby, soccer, swim-

ming, softball and volley-

ball among others.

Approximately 3,000 ath-

letes, coaches and offi cials

were expected to take part.

Annual Gord Bamford golf classic coming upBY KALISHA MENDONSALacombe Express

Canadian country sing-

er Gord Bamford is back

again to host a unique char-

ity golf classic and gala, an

event that has been going

strong for seven years.

The two-day event fea-

tures an extravagant gala

at the Sheraton Hotel Exhi-

bition Hall in Red Deer on

the evening of Aug. 13th.

The golf tournament will

see 42 teams playing at the

Lacombe Golf and Country

Club on Aug. 14th.

Last year, over $355,000

was raised through the

Gord Bamford Charitable

Foundation, which put the

money earned just shy of

$1.5 million.

“We just want to have an

opportunity to make a dif-

ference in other people’s

lives and be able to use my

success to raise money for

different sorts of associa-

tions,” said Bamford.

“Ninety-fi ve per cent is

catered to youth and chil-

dren, which is a big part

of my life. I just want to do

something good and give

back to the people that are

in need and make a differ-

ence.”

The event is highly suc-

cessful, with many of its

attendees returning year

after year. The invitation-

only gala will host over

750 people, including big

names such as Canadian

country star Aaron Pritch-

ett, Nashville songwriter

Buddy Owens, NHL leg-

end Curtis Glencross and

iconic Canadian rock band

Trooper.

“At the end of it, it’s

amazing how we seem to

keep raising more and

more money. It’s always

amazing to be able to take

part in all of the stories

that we come

across or we

get to share at

the gala,” said

Bamford.

“When you

get to see how

it really chang-

es things for

(the recipients

of donations),

it can get pret-

ty emotional at

times, but it’s

great to see. It

just wouldn’t

happen with-

out all the sup-

port we have,

and it’s been tremendous

that way.”

The organizations that

receive the donations of

funds raised include the

Make a Wish Foundation,

children’s hospitals, Ron-

ald McDonald House and

Big Brothers & Big Sisters.

Bamford said that it is

diffi cult to set a goal for

monetary donations, but

that he hopes they will

equal or surpass last year’s

total.

He adds that each year

organizers try to make the

event bigger and better, es-

pecially for the people that

have been attending the

event since its inception

seven years ago.

“We raise a lot of mon-

ey and have a great core

of people involved. It’s a

sought after event, and any

time you have that kind

of demand for something

it feels great. As far as a

goal goes, we’re just try-

ing to keep going and keep

improving.” This event is

unique from most golf clas-

sic style tournaments in

that thanks to Bamford’s

entertainment career, he is

able to draw in big names

that are able to provide

entertainment and donate

generously.

He says he feels like the

event is defi nitely moving

in the right direction after

seeing the immense sup-

port that it carries year af-

ter year.

“I really can’t tell you

how it’s gotten to be where

it is – I kind of shake my

head every-

day. It’s still

doing great

things and

h o p e f u l l y

will con-

tinue to do

that.”

Bamford

is also for-

tunate this

year to have

r e c e i v e d

s e v e r a l

n o m i n a -

tions for

the Cana-

dian Coun-

try Music

Awards, which will be

awarded on Sept. 7th live

from Rexall Hall in Edmon-

ton.

Born in Australia in 1976,

Bamford moved to Canada

with his mother at the age

of fi ve, spending his forma-

tive years near Lacombe.

In 1995 he won one of Al-

berta’s largest talent con-

tests, the Nornet Radio Net-

work Search for the Stars.

Early infl uences includ-

ed Alan Jackson, George

Strait, Johnny Cash – and

the times when Garth

Brooks was taking stadium

tours to unprecedented

heights. He then teamed

up with Rob Bartlett from

Sundae Sound in Calgary

to record his debut single

Forever Starts Today which

earned positive raves from

Canadian radio in 1996.

By 2000, he was ready to

record his fi rst CD - God’s

Green Earth - at Sound

Edge Productions.

LIFE. I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING GOOD

AND GIVE BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED AND MAKE A

ARTS & LEISUREThere’s a top-notch line-up for

this year’s rendition of the 12th

annual Jazz at the Lake Festival,

which will be held from Aug. 14th

-17th in Sylvan Lake.

Jack Semple, who performs

Aug. 16th, plays with the soul and

fi re of a Mississippi Delta blues

man.

He has spent decades honing

his craft and establishing himself

as one of North America’s pre-

mier guitar virtuosos. His CD In

the Blue Light won a 2013 Western

Canadian Music Award for Best

Blues Recording.

He launched his musical ca-

reer playing with various Regina-

based bands, and later relocated

to Toronto in the late 1980s to

become the lead guitarist of The

Lincolns, a popular funk and

rhythm and blues band.

He left the band after two years

and returned to Regina to pursue

a solo career and to spend more

time with his family.

He commenced a solo record-

ing career that has resulted in the

release of 10 albums. In 1992, he

also came to national prominence

through winning the MuchMusic

‘Guitar Wars’ contest.

Semple has been twice nomi-

nated, in 1999 and 2000, for a

Gemini Award for his soundtrack

work on the television series In-

credible Story Studio.

He also won a Juno award in

1991 for best roots recording. He

has won two Western Canadian

music awards for Qu’Appelle and

In the Blue Light.

He continues to perform as

a solo artist and with The Jack

Semple Band across Canada.

Meanwhile, event organizers

Eric Allison and Cheryl Fisher

have lined up more than 100 in-

ternational, national, provincial

and local musicians to perform

throughout the event.

“One of our goals is always to

make jazz accessible to people,

so we work hard to bring in a

variety of highly-talented musi-

cians, at a reasonable price for

the audience,” says Allison. “It’s

important to bring music to the

community, and the community

has really embraced the festi-

val.”

Audiences will be treated to 14

events held at locations through-

out Sylvan Lake.

With everything from free out-

door performances to the Friday

and Saturday night headliners,

there will be swinging and sultry

jazz for everyone to enjoy.

This year’s line-up includes the

aforementioned Semple, interna-

tional jazz legends Tuck and Patti

and local favourites Johnny Sum-

mers, The Alberta Playboys and

Caravana, among others.

The Johnny Summers Little

Big Band, which performs Aug.

14th, is an eight-piece ensemble

with a smoking horn section that

has been the featured band by

public demand for the last eight

consecutive years at the festival

kickoff Swing Dance.

Summers is a multi-faceted

musician: trumpet player, vocal-

ist, arranger and bandleader.

He recently won the Global

Music Award for Best Male Vocal-

ist as well.

Tuck and Pattie perform Aug.

15th. Tuck Andress is a world-

class guitarist, but he’s also im-

bued with the rare gift of good

taste.

His musical partner and wife,

Patti Cathcart, is an soulful and

inventive jazz stylist and among

the best scat singers since Ella

Fitzgerald.

On Aug. 17th, The Caravana

Gypsy Quartet is slated to per-

form. Let the group transport you

back to the Paris of the 30s and

40s with their authentic and in-

fectious Gypsy swing.

The Alberta Playboys perform

Aug. 17th.

Flashy guitar licks played by

Aaron Young, swingin’ beats

brushed on skins by drummer

Jon May, virtuoso melodies

bowed by fi ddler Jonathan Lewis

and thumpy bass notes woofed

by Jason Valleau on upright

bass creates the province’s super

group: The Alberta Playboys.

The Beatles Bash runs Aug.

16th.

With 2014 marking the 50th an-

niversary of the Beatles’ only ap-

pearance on Canada’s west coast,

Jazz at the Lake is celebrating the

occasion by presenting a Beatles

Bash 50th Anniversary Tribute.

The ‘Gala Under the Stars’

runs Aug. 17th, and will feature

a select group of guests who will

return to the heyday of Las Vegas

in the 50s and the 60s when the

Rat Pack was king.

Held at the Meadowlands Golf

Course in the big tent under the

stars, this dinner, dance and si-

lent auction event hopes to raise

$10,000 towards the continuation

of Jazz At The Lake, its perfor-

mances and programs.

Another highlight this year

will be ‘Project Discovery’, a

provincially-recognized perfor-

mance program.

Through this project, students

get to play in the festival and

learn from Semple.

“This program is so important,

because students get a chance to

learn and gain confi dence while

doing something that they love,”

said Cheryl Fisher, festival pro-

ducer.

“For some, it’s their fi rst time

performing on stage, and they’re

just thrilled to have an audience.”

Program participants include

winners from Alberta Kiwanis

Festivals and from the Sylvan

Lake Celebration of Music, as

well as local students who are

considered especially talented by

their schools and teachers.

“There will be 12 performances

this year, and one group will be a

trio,” said Fisher.

“In the past, we’ve seen unbe-

lievable things from students as

young as six or seven years old.

These young musicians can re-

ally break your heart - and bring

the house down.”

ARTS & LEISURE

‘It’s summertime and the living is

easy,’ is a favourite expression at this

time of year. But health hazards don’t

care what month it is.

You can stub your toe at any time. And,

for instance, how many parents worry

that their children face a hazard simply

by brushing their teeth, summer or win-

ter?

Can a roller coaster ride cause more

than thrills? Can binge drinking result in

more than a hangover? And, in summer,

never mess around with 300,000,000 volts.

Dr. Jurgen Kuschyk, a cardiologist at

University Hospital in Mannheim, Ger-

many, reports that anyone over 14 years

of age should get a physical checkup

before taking a roller coaster ride. This

should include an electrocardiogram

and, even better, an echocardiogram.

Kuschyk’s study involved 57 volun-

teers ranging from 18 to 79 years of age.

Electrocardiograms monitored their

heart rhythm before, during and after

a ride. Doctors were surprised to fi nd

that 44% of participants had irregular

rhythms lasting up to fi ve minutes.

Most rides generated 4 Gs (gravitation-

al force), super rides 4 to 5 Gs. Fighter pi-

lots pass out when subjected to 6 to 9 Gs!

If you’re worried about the economy

or continued Middle East unrest and

need an alcoholic drink to relax, remem-

ber that moderate drinking is prudent at

all times. A report in the British Medi-

cal Journal makes alarming reading for

those who have a habit of binge drinking.

Dr. Mohantha Dooldeniya, a urologist

at Pinderfi elds Hospital in Wakefi eld,

England, reports that three women ar-

rived at the hospital after a bender. They

all complained of lower abdominal pain.

Doctors initially diagnosed cystitis, a

bladder infection. Later, when they used

abdominal scans and laparoscopy to peek

into the abdomen, they were shocked to

fi nd that their urinary bladders had rup-

tured.

How could this happen? Alcohol is a di-

uretic that causes more frequent urina-

tion. But it’s also an anesthetic and dulls

the urge to go.

This is a bad combination. Often the

intoxicated person falls asleep and uri-

nates in bed. But in some cases bladder

pressure is so strong and the senses so

dulled that the bladder ruptures.

And if a person falls with a distended

bladder, rupture is even more likely.

Eggs and the microwave ovens don’t

mix. Eggs cooked in a microwave reach

a higher temperature than if they were

boiled.

One nine-year-old girl reheated a pre-

viously boiled egg and placed it in a bowl.

Thirty minutes later as she was taking it

to the dining room, it exploded, eggshells

striking her right eye and face.

Medical tidbits to ponder about summer safety

YOUNG GARDENER - May Pugh, 2, waters fl owers in the gardensoutside the Lacombe Memorial Centre as part of the Flowers and Plants themed Adventure Daze session recently. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

The explosion perforated the cornea of

the eye and ruptured the anterior lens cap-

sule. Following the injury she could only see

hand movements. Her vision was restored

after several operations and the insertion of

a plastic lens.

“Go brush your teeth before bed,” is a fa-

miliar cry from parents. But a report from

the Public Health Agency of Canada says

the lowly toothbrush can cause a life-threat-

ening injury.

A few injuries have occurred while chil-

dren brushed their teeth.

The problem is fooling around with the

toothbrush in their mouths and bumping

into something. In a few cases the entire

toothbrush has been swallowed. And if a

toothbrush contains batteries, this is a med-

ical emergency.

Readers must be reminded that every year

lightning kills more people in North Ameri-

ca than hurricanes and tornados. Lightning

strikes this planet 3.6 million times every

year. It’s 50,000 times hotter than the sun

and has the power of up to 300,000,000 volts.

This voltage has destroyed an ammuni-

tion depot, a Pan Am 707, two English wom-

en wearing wired bras, and many engaged in

outdoor sports. Remember, if you can count

30 seconds or less between a lightning fl ash

and thunder, seek protection immediately.

So, even if you’re playing the best round

of golf in your life, stop playing.

Swimmers should get out of the water.

If your hair stands on end, you’re about

to be hit and your only hope is to drop im-

mediately to the ground. And many people

have been killed by 300,000,000 volts after the

storm has ended!

The safest place in an electrical storm is in

your home. But stay away from open doors,

metal sinks, telephones and fi re places.

www.symphonyseniorliving.comwww.symphonyseniorliving.comHOMES & LIVING

Our boss, Andrew just came back from

three weeks of intensive study as he works

on his master’s degree.

We truly missed his face around here

and it is so good to see him back full of new

ideas and energy. When I asked him about

his studies he admitted that they were a

challenge and that it was tiring but in the

end it has given him new perspective and

I’m sure a cranium full of ideas.

When we challenge ourselves it is at fi rst

frightening, then we consider how much

work is involved and after the challenge is

over we are very tired.

After we have rested our brains we then

feel the new ideas taking hold and it ener-

gizes us. Only the last phase is really excit-

ing, the rest are quite a bit of work!

I think this is the reason why most peo-

ple stop just short of challenging them-

selves.

It’s like travelling to Edmonton and not

taking the QE2, it’s a new route and the

roads are not smooth and we are not as

comfortable driving this new path.

The temptation to go back to the QE2

is overwhelming even if it is not the best

route to take.

If we stop short and reroute the chal-

lenge we may fi nd similar results but we

fail to enjoy the energy and new ideas that

can come from our bravery.

Try to move yourself in a new direction,

even in the simple things in life. Try a new

restaurant or coffee shop or even order off

the other side of the menu if you dare.

Are you renovating or decorating? For-

get everything you are tearing out of your

house and forage a new path. You wouldn’t

believe how many people reference back

to, ‘I used to have this colour paint’ or ‘My

carpet is that ugly shade of beige, I hate it,’

yet they keep choosing the SAME colours

over and over again! It astonishes me.

I often wonder how I would decorate if

I was able to build a new home with no re-

strictions, nothing in the house that I have

to keep as I have done with so many reno-

vations.

What would I do and how would I chal-

lenge myself ?

I think that if the opportunity presented

itself I would go hog wild and indulge in

my colour desires of red, orange and of

course green which I seem to have in every

house.

People would gasp, stare and judge but I

think they would be secretly envious of my

bold and daring palette.

The challenge wouldn’t be in merely

choosing the colours but in resisting the

slings and arrows of others’ opinions. It

would lie in the worry that would keep

me up at night when I consider re-selling

a house with an orange kitchen and the

exhaustion would lie in trying to fi nd con-

tractors brave and bold enough to source

materials to satisfy my every whim.

The triumph would be in successfully

pulling off my unique vision and pre-

senting it to the world, hearing the ‘oohs’

and ‘aahs’ of my friends as they wander

through my home.

I would revel in the love affair I was hav-

ing with my beautiful new home and be

proud of the fact that I took the road less

travelled and yet wound up at a brighter

destination.

HOMES & LIVING

Can you imagine living without the mod-

ern comforts of your home?

For those who want the newest innova-

tions in their home, two categories lead

the way: light control and energy manage-

ment. Sally Morse, director of creative ser-

vices at window fashions company Hunter

Douglas, gives us the scoop on lighting and

energy use.

“The evolution of windows is remark-

able,” says Morse, “From hide coverings

to panes made of translucent animal horn,

then thin slices of marble, oiled paper,

then fi nally glass. And the shapes and sizes

of windows changed too, requiring innova-

tions to the original window treatments

invented by the Egyptians 4,000 years ago.

Ever since, people have translated the core

concept of a simple covering that blocks

out light into myriad styles with increas-

ing functionality.”

Light-emitting diodes or LED-based

lights are now increasingly popular. With

distinct advantages over incandescent

light sources – including lower energy

consumption, longer lifetime, improved

physical robustness and smaller size – they

are a smart choice for every room of the

house. And while LEDs are not inexpen-

sive, their durability and low power usage

mitigate the initial cost. Recessed ceiling

lights, under-counter lights, chandeliers,

sconces, nearly every style of home light-

ing you can think of is now available with

LEDs. In addition, there are sofa frames

and tables, draperies and even wallcover-

ings equipped with this type of light.

“It is actually awe-inspiring to see

how designers incorporate LEDs in their

work,” Morse says.

Home automation is also developing at

a rapid rate, and the connected home is at

the top of many an agenda. From robotic

vacuum cleaners to motorized window

dressings, operation is automatic.

For example, with the Hunter Douglas

Platinum App, it just takes a tap of the fi n-

ger to easily preset and reset the precise

positioning of multiple motorized window

treatments.

“Call it what you will,” says Morse, “In-

novation, progress, or simply, change. One

thing is certain, we’re riding a wave of

creativity, and I can’t wait to see what the

coming years will bring.”
