BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

It’s a name that is synonymous with

freshwater fi shing for much of the

northern hemisphere.

Len Thompson spoons are well known

in the angling community.

The Red and Yellow ‘fi ve of diamonds’

design, one of the oldest Len Thompson

designs, is possibly the most famous fi sh-

ing lure in the continent.

“It’s a wonderful thing,” said Richard

(Rick) Pallister, the maternal grandson of

Len Thompson who now owns the factory

(though he leaves much of its operation in

the hands of his son, Brad).

Rick said how it is heartening to hear

so many anglers call Len Thompson lures

their favourite.

Thompson was a farmer from Aberna-

thy, SK. After returning from a bad expe-

rience in the First World War, he received

medical advice to spend a lot of time out-

side and relax.

Rick said Thompson took this to mean

he should spend a lot of time fi shing and

hunting.

After years of trying many different

manufactured lures, Thompson began

experimenting with making his own, con-

vinced he could make something better

than what was commercially available.

He believed that the slow, wobbling ac-

tion of a spoon as it moved through the

water that antagonized fi sh into striking

could be created with a more intricate

combination of shape and weight.

Rick said that the history of the company

is very important to him and one of the rea-

sons Len Thompson lures have not changed

much over the years. He said he would rath-

er continue producing his grandfather’s

old-fashioned, time-tested lures than follow

much of the fashion currently happening

in the world of bait-making.

“I would much rather sell a yellow-red

fi ve of diamonds than a rainbow trout fi sh

skin lure.”

As mentioned, little has changed in the

spoon-making process of Len Thompson’s

lures over the years, but the process is a lit-

tle more industrial than when Thompson

fi rst started experimenting.

The process begins with the spoons be-

ing punched out of a brass coil that Rick

said weighs nearly 300 lb.

The punch press that is used is actually

the same one Thompson bought in 1945.

Rick said it has punched out every Len

Thompson lure to date, a number that is

close to 50 million.

After the spoons are punched out, they

go into an industrial rock tumbler that re-

moves the spoons’ sharp, rough edges.

From there, the spoons enter another

similar process where ball bearings polish

the spoons to make them nice and shiny.

After that, the spoons are dipped in a

clear coat of paint called lacquer. They are

then baked for about half an hour at 300

degrees. Once out of the oven, the under-

side of the spoons are complete.

Rick said the shiny brass undersides of

the lures are very important to their suc-

cess. As they move, wobbling through the

water, the brass creates a fl ash that is eas-

ily visible underwater and attracts the at-

tention of fi sh.

However, the topsides of the spoons still

need to be painted. So, after being removed

from the oven, the lacquered spoons are

placed on racks and painted using an air-

brush and permanent painting masks that

form the trademark designs created by

Len Thompson.

Once painted, the spoons go back in the

oven for a bit of a longer bake, about 50

minutes at around 325 degrees.

No matter how attractive the spoons

look to fi sh, they won’t catch anything

without hooks. So, the next step is to at-

tach the hooks to the spoons, which is done

by hand. Finally, the spoons are sealed into

their packages, UPC codes are attached

and the spoons are placed in boxes for stor-

age and shipping.

Thompson’s fi rst lure, or what is cred-

ited as being such (Rick said he thinks the

real fi rst lure is probably in the bottom of

a lake somewhere), can be seen in a display

case inside the Len Thompson factory.

It was made from metal cut out of a bean

can and hammered into a spoon shape.

Other such early prototypes can be seen in

the factory or in photos of Thompson on

fi shing expeditions.

Once Thompson had decided on a shape

he liked, he fashioned chisels from car

springs to continue shaping the spoons by

hand. Today, all Len Thompson spoons are

based on that same shape.

Lack of useable metal for the making

of fi shing lures during the Second World

War put Thompson’s spoon-making busi-

ness on hold. Rick said that once the war

was over, Thompson decided to get serious

about the production of his spoons.

Shortly after, Rick’s father and Thomp-

son’s son-in-law, Cecil Pallister, got in-

volved with the business as well.

Rick said Cecil handled the production

end of the business while Thompson con-

tinued making the designs.

During this time, the operation became

more professional. They started using pro-

fessionally made dies to punch the spoons

out of metal and used higher quality paint

with permanent painting masks instead of

just slapping paint on with a brush.

In 1958, the family and the business relo-

cated to Lacombe to be closer to suppliers.

Its fi rst factory in Lacombe was located at

5019 51 St. in the same building that now

houses the Lacombe Express.

Now a family company for four gen-

erations, Thompson-Pallister Bait Co.

now manufacture their lures at 5860 Len

Thompson Dr. and continue to be a part of

Lacombe’s rich heritage.

Lacombe needs to grow.

Lacombe City council

candidate Grant Harder

said that Lacombe needs to

grow as a city or it will be

left behind by other com-

munities in the area.

Right now, Lacombe’s

lack of growth in all areas

(residential, industrial and

especially commercial) is a

big concern for Harder, he

said.

He added that Lacombe

is being overtaken in terms

of growth by other commu-

nities in Central Alberta

like Blackfalds and Sylvan

Lake.

“We’re being outpaced

severely,” said Harder.

“My fear is if we don’t

get our act together and

stimulate more growth in

Lacombe we’re going to get

left behind.”

Commercial growth is

one area of special concern

for Harder.

He said that the City

needs to work with busi-

nesses in order to bring

that growth to Lacombe.

“You can make it easier

for businesses to do busi-

ness in Lacombe.”

Harder said that it’s not

enough to do things within

Lacombe’s city limits to

make things easier or more

attractive for businesses.

Lacombe should be ac-

tively seeking out busi-

nesses to come to the City

as well.

“You have to sell La-

combe,” said Harder.

He added that he believes

Lacombe can compete with

other communities for

businesses on a global scale

and should start acting that

way.

He said that if there is

a reason businesses are

bypassing Lacombe when

looking for locations, the

City needs to fi nd out why

that is and adjust its plan

accordingly. Harder went

on to say he would like to

see Lacombe increase its

presence in things like

trade fairs in order to tell

people why they should

come to Lacombe and bring

their businesses to the City.

In addition to support-

ing commercial growth in

Lacombe, Harder said he

would continue to support

Lacombe’s arts commu-

nity should he be elected

to council. Harder stressed

that, while much of his in-

volvement in the commu-

nity has been related to the

arts, it is not the only as-

pect of Lacombe he wishes

to improve as councillor.

“Obviously part of my

personal passion is the

arts and I will continue to

strongly support the arts,”

said Harder, “But that’s

not the only thing I want to

support.”

In fact, Harder said he

does not want to support

any one thing in particular

as councillor.

Instead, he said Lacombe

needs to be a balanced com-

munity.

Harder said he has al-

ways had an interest in lo-

cal politics. He added that,

while it might seem cliché,

Lacombe has been very

good to him and his family

and he sees this as a way

to give back to the commu-

nity.

“It just seems like the

natural thing to do.”

He added that a lot of peo-

ple have encouraged him

to run and so he has fi nally

“Succumbed to the peer

pressure.”

Harder said he consid-

ers himself someone who

is good at long-term plan-

ning. He added that he is

good at seeing the bigger

picture while at the same

time not losing track of the

fi ner details.

Common sense and pru-

dent decision-making are

other traits that Harder

said would make him a

good councillor.

He also mentioned that

he has a tendency to stick

to his guns and will not be a

“political willow” and sim-

ply fl ip-fl op his stance on

important issues based on

what is popular at the time.

GRANT HARDER

Candidate Grant Harder hopes to see Lacombe grow


Councillor Wayne Rem-

pel wants to make Lacombe

the greatest place to live in

Canada.

Referencing a recent ar-

ticle where Lacombe was

rated the eighth best place

to live in Canada, Rempel

said he is running for coun-

cil once again and hopes to

continue working towards

making Lacombe “Bigger

and better.”

“I’d like Lacombe to go

from the eighth best place

in Canada to live to the

number one best place in

Canada to live.”

Running for his third

term, Rempel said he has

experience with the work-

ings of City council and he

is past the learning stage

that councillors face when

fi rst elected.

“The fi rst term, I’ll be

honest, you just have so

much to learn.”

He added that it takes

almost a full term to be-

come adjusted to the posi-

tion and it is in the second

term when councillors

can really start getting

work done.

Rempel said he has a

proven track record of

making promises and de-

livering on them. He men-

tioned several of council’s

achievements like the skate

park, are projects he cam-

paigned towards and ac-

complishing such goals is

something he plans to con-

tinue doing.

Rempel also said he is ac-

cessible, honest, straight-

forward, listens with an

open mind and will con-

stantly strive to make deci-

sions that are best for the

community.

He fi rst ran for City

council in 2007 because he

saw it as a way to give back

to his community.

Rempel went on to say

that, having children, he

said it was important to

him that Lacombe con-

tinue to be a vibrant com-

munity even with its small

town feel. He added that

belief became even more

important to him after his

children had families of

their own and he became a

grandfather.

Being involved in the

community is important to

Rempel and it is one of the

things he enjoys about be-

ing on City council.

He said the decision mak-

ing process, everything

from researching City of

Lacombe issues, discussing

those issues with people

and the ultimate decision

made by that process is

his favourite part of his in-

volvement with council.

“Those are the things

that really get me excited,

being involved in the deci-

sion to make these things

that we have bigger and

better.”

This term, Rempel said

he would like to focus on

bringing more industrial

and commercial business

to Lacombe.

In addition to attracting

more businesses, Rem-

pel said he wants to help

existing local businesses

as well. He said he would

like to see processes put

in place to help local busi-

nesses succeed in whatev-

er area they wish to excel,

whether that be attracting

more employees, extend-

ing trading area, increas-

ing revenue or anything

else.

“I would like the City to

be more involved in helping

out businesses whatever

their needs are.”

Having owned a busi-

ness in Lacombe for 14

years (Rempel formerly

owned JP’s Pizza), he

knows what problems the

business community of

Lacombe faces.

Rempel added his expe-

rience owning a business

also taught him a great deal

about dealing with people

and about decision-making

- tools he plans to bring to

the table as a councillor as

well.

He said as a business

owner, he made decisions

based on what was best for

the business. As a council-

lor, he plans to do the same

for Lacombe and will make

decisions based on what

is best for the community,

even if those decisions

aren’t the most popular

ones.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

of Lacombe & District have

wrapped up their biggest

recruitment campaign for

another year.

The annual 20 Mentors

in 20 Days is a campaign

of Big Brothers Big Sisters

(BBBS) in conjunction with

National Big Brothers Big

Sisters Month.

As the name suggests,

the goal of the campaign is

to recruit 20 mentors with-

in 20 days in September.

Crystal Zens, executive

director for BBBS of La-

combe & District said that

24 applications were hand-

ed out during the campaign

and about half of them have

already been fi lled out.

She added that 24 appli-

cations is down a bit from

last year’s 38 recruits, but

she is still satisfi ed with the

success of this year’s cam-

paign and also hopes there

will be some more appli-

cants trickling in through-

out October.

“(Last year) was hugely

successful so it’s hard to

top that,” said Zens. “I

think we surpassed our

goal (this year), so we are

still happy with that.”

A number of events

were held during the cam-

paign to raise awareness

within the district. Zens

said BBBS had a presence

at both the Lacombe and

Blackfalds Active Living

Fairs and also attended a

few farmer’s markets in

those communities.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

also set up a free lemon-

ade stand on Sept. 13 to

increase awareness and

to promote interest in the

organization among local

businesses. BBBS delivered

homemade apple pies to

Lacombe business during

Random Acts of Recruiting

event on Sept. 24.

With school starting, Big

Brothers Big Sisters has a

greater need for mentors in

September than any other

time of the year. As such,

it is fi tting to hold the cam-

paign, the organizations

biggest push for mentors,

in this month.

Zens said that September

is an important month for

BBBS because it is the start

of its in-school mentorship

program, which currently

has a waitlist with about

12 names. She added that

BBBS tries not to match

students partway through

the year in order to give

students and mentors the

entire length of the school

year to bond and develop a

relationship.

The organization’s in-

school program is a great

way for people to get in-

volved with BBBS with-

out having to make a huge

time commitment. Each

mentor needs to commit

to only one hour a week

during the school day with

the child they are matched

with. This program also

only lasts the length of the

school year, meaning the

summer is free for both

mentor and child.

It is also a great way for

businesses to get involved

in Big Brothers Big Sisters.

By endorsing employees to

mentor children during the

school hours, when many

business are open as well,

businesses too can show

their support for BBBS.

“I think they really set

an example of community

spirit and giving back,”

said Zens.

She added the in-school

mentorship program can

be used to address a num-

ber of different situations

school-aged children might

be faced with.

Whether children are

struggling socially, be-

ing bullied, having par-

ents recently separated or

just needing extra help in

school, they could use an

hour break once a week to

have some fun.

“It’s just to give that

child a positive role model

to bond with. They look

forward to that one hour,

they know their mentor is

coming they are watching

at the door.”

BBBS of Lacombe & Dis-

trict need volunteers for

their traditional program

as well as the in-school pro-

gram. Zens said they having

about 80 volunteers in both

programs combined and

while matching for the in-

school mentorship doesn’t

really happen past Febru-

ary, matching for the tradi-

tional program, which also

has a wait list with about 15

boys, is done year round.

Commitments for the tra-

ditional program are a bit

more demanding as well.

Mentors need to commit to

at least one year, instead of

just the school year, as well

as make a commitment to

spend two to three hours

a week with their matches

instead of just one hour.

Annual 20 Mentors in 20 Days campaign wraps up


Video games are gaining a stron-

ger foothold inside classrooms.

Olds College has introduced a

new requirement to graduate from

the school -- video games.

All students will now be required

to complete a mandatory Discover

Entrepreneurship course, of which

the iPad game Lemonade Stand is a

central part.

In Lemonade Stand, players man-

age their own small business (a lem-

onade stand) and complete modules

of their course by doing so.

Completing modules unlocks

achievements that unlock features

in the game and allow the player to

continue progressing through the

modules of the course.

The idea of playing the simula-

tor is to allow students a chance to

practice skills and gain experience

in a consequence-free environ-

ment.

While some believe that the

course with its heavy-involvement

of a video game should not be man-

datory and there are arguments

using the video in the program will

not necessarily be effective, it can-

not be denied that it will certainly

appeal to another demographic of

learners, something that schools

everywhere need to continue do-

ing.

In my opinion, teachers have long

overlooked the educational poten-

tial of video games. Video games

have existed in classrooms for a

long time, but have never really

been widely accepted as teaching

tools or a mainstream method of in-

struction. Games like Word Munch-

er, Math Blaster and Oregon Trail

are familiar to anyone who was in

primary school in the 90s.

However, I remember that video

games were always used sparingly

in the classroom.

My teachers seemed to prefer

making me write things down over

and over again until I got it right

rather than using a program that

might actually make learning fun

and exciting.

Luckily, (and to the constant

frustration of my mother, who is

a teacher) I spent a lot of my time

outside the classroom playing vid-

eo games as well.

As a kid in the 90s I spent a good

deal of time playing on the Super

Nintendo Entertainment System

and Sega Genesis – the reigning

kings of video game consoles.

Back in those days, there were no

voiceovers in video games.

Even as I got older and the SNES

and Genesis were replaced by the

Nintendo 64 and Sony Playstation,

voiceovers were still kind of a rar-

ity.

When characters spoke to each

other, or when there was a cutscene

to develop the story, you had to

read everything on the screen.

Some games had stories that

were just as complex as video

games today, which made for a lot

of reading.

You can’t tell me that didn’t help

my reading, writing or vocabulary

skills.

Puzzle games are another good

example.

Puzzling has always been a popu-

lar concept in gaming and puzzles

are often used in games that don’t

strictly fi t the puzzle genre as well.

It is believed that puzzles im-

prove memory and problem solv-

ing skills, things that any good

teacher wants students to have.

Mathematics also has a place in

video games.

Many game genres, like my fa-

vourite genre – the RPG (Role Play-

ing Game), require players to earn

and manage money.

Other games, including strategy

games like Age of Empires, require

players to collect and manage re-

sources in order to build up a civi-

lization.

Players must spend resources

to construct buildings and train

units.

Resources usually have a limited

or fi xed supply, forcing players to

budget their resources, much like

they may have to budget their bank

account in the real world.

Schools everywhere are fi nding

it more and more diffi cult to keep

students interested in learning.

As such, teachers everywhere

are continuing to search for new

and innovative ways to deliver

course content.

Video games could be a good way

to keep students of varying ages

interested in their own education.

I am far from suggesting that we

introduce every console into every

classroom and have students play

games all day, they have a place

and time just like everything else.

But, video games are an incredibly

popular hobby that many students

already engage in on a regular ba-

sis. What is wrong with using them

in the classroom a little bit more?

Let it never be said that the peo-

ple have no voice in politics.

While no decision has yet been

made by Lacombe City council,

City administration, after obtain-

ing extensive feedback from the

people of Lacombe, has recom-

mended that council make no

change to the type of garbage bins

used in the City.

An overwhelming 81% of those

surveyed by the City, that’s four

out of fi ve people surveyed, who

currently have a dumpster would

prefer to keep it rather than switch-

ing to a roll-out style bin.

Even those in the pilot projects

who used the roll-out bins, the vast

majority of whom found the bins

to be not at all unmanageable, said

they would rather keep the large,

dumpster-style back-alley bins.

Yes, it would appear that La-

combe’s back-alley dumpsters are

here to stay, at least for now.

Although not the only change

proposed in the original Solid

Waste Roadmap, the decision to

change the type of garbage bins

used was certainly the most con-

troversial. And, when the recom-

mendation was given by adminis-

tration at the Sept. 23 meeting, the

majority of its packed gallery gave

an audible sigh of relief.

Lacombians will have to wait un-

til Oct. 15th to hear a defi nite ‘yay’

or ‘nay’ from council regarding

the recommendation, but several

councillors have already voiced

their support for it.

It just goes to show that speaking

up can make a difference.

Many people say that it is futile to

get involved with politics as a civilian

because speaking up never makes a

difference. Nothing could be further

from the truth and Lacombe’s Solid

Waste Roadmap situation could not

be a better example of that.

Politics only truly work the way

they are supposed to when people

get involved and make their voices

heard.

Councillors who make the deci-

sions that shape communities are

elected to do what is best for those

communities and represent the in-

terest of the people. How can they

know what those interests are if

the people don’t speak up to let

them know?

They can’t.

Council, the people, and City

administration all need to work

together to make the process work.

This is exactly what happened

here in Lacombe. City administra-

tion did their job by engaging the

people of Lacombe and hearing

what they had to say. Citizens of

Lacombe did their duty by speak-

ing up and making their voices

heard.

Now it is up to the Lacombe City

council to do their job too. Council

has heard the recommendations,

seen the stats and now we patiently

await their decision to come in a

few week’s time.

Councillors for the City of La-

combe, this is your chance to do

your duty and truly represent the

people of Lacombe.

When the vote happens on Oct.

15th, do the right thing and make

the decision the citizens of La-

combe clearly want you to make. A

voice this loud is not one that can,

or should be, ignored.

Video games could be the next big teaching tool

Lacombe has been chosen to deliver a

new program that aims to build commu-

nity leaders.

Becoming a Community Builder is a

program designed by social entrepreneur

Ian Hill. It was beta-tested in Wood Buffalo

last year and will now be made available to

20 other communities in Alberta this year,

Lacombe being one of them.

Kim Berube, executive director for the

Lacombe Chamber of Commerce, started

working to bring the program to Lacombe

after hearing Hill speak. She said she

thought it would be valuable because she

has seen fi rsthand the need for leaders

within Lacombe and Alberta.

“I have seen what the struggles are,”

said Berube. “People moving away, people

coming back, the service organizations’

memberships literally dying out.”

One of Hill’s points that really stuck

with Berube was that the “traditional”

method of building leaders through work

experience, volunteer commitments and

education takes too long, she said.

Not only that, but the old way of grow-

ing leaders is not very popular with many

people today.

According to Hill, it takes seven to 10

years to form a leader using conventional

methods, said Berube.

However, Alberta is in need of leaders

now and can’t wait for up to a decade to get

them.

Berube went on to say that there is a ste-

reotype that today’s young people are lazy

and don’t want to get involved in the com-

munity, something that is often blamed for

the dwindling numbers in many service

clubs today.

However, Berube said she doesn’t agree

with this view. Instead, she agrees with

Hill, who says that it isn’t that young peo-

ple are lazy, it’s that they want to fi nd new

ways of getting engaged in the community.

To solve the problem of building com-

munity leaders and fi nding new ways to

get people engaged in the community, Hill

came up with the Becoming a Community

Builder Program.

Delivered to an unlimited number of res-

idents in Lacombe and Lacombe County,

the 15-week program launches on Oct. 10.

Berube said Hill will come out to La-

combe personally about a week before the

kick-off date of the program to meet par-

ticipants, see the community and get a feel

for who is participating.

Then, the program is delivered online in

weekly releases.

Berube said that the beauty of the pro-

gram being released online means that

participants can work through it at their

own pace, going online every week as the

information is released or logging on once

a month and catching up then.

She added that the information will con-

tinue to be available to participants in La-

combe and Lacombe County in its entirety

even after the 15 weeks time frame has

elapsed.

“Anyone can access it, for free, forever,”

said Berube.

Becoming a Community Builder works

to develop skill-sets that are valuable to

any kind of leaders, said Berube. Things

like communication and delegating are

covered in the program in a way that is ap-

plicable for both professional and informal

leaders.

Becoming a Community Builder is avail-

able to an unlimited number of partici-

pants in Lacombe and Lacombe County.

To register, visit www.register.becominga-

communitybuilder.ca or contact Kim Ber-

ube at 403-782-4300 for more information.

Box Offi ce 403.784.2294

Sod was the material em-

ployed by homesteaders for

their fi rst dwellings and for

the housing of their live-

stock.

The material was provid-

ed by each furrow turned to

prepare land for cropping.

Those who homesteaded

near a reliable source of

timber could construct log

dwellings but lumber was

costly with none available

in Central Alberta until

Tom Cummings developed

his sawmill on the shore of

Gull Lake in 1898.

One early carpenter

mentioned was home-

steader Robert McNaugh-

ton who was engaged circa

1895 by G.A. Reid to build

Lacombe’s fi rst hardware

store from lumber import-

ed by ox-powered wagon

train.

This building, located on

Barnett Ave., was moved by

G.G. Mobley in 1908 to 51

Ave. and 48 St. to serve as

Lacombe’s fi rst hospital.

This same man, George

Gale Mobley, was the pio-

neer carpenter and builder

mentioned most frequently

in the early Lacombe news-

papers.

Then came Timothy Ea-

ton with his mail order

catalogue providing every

necessity for the pioneer

family from horse har-

ness to farm equipment,

from household utensils to

houses.

Mail order houses? Re-

ally?

You’ve got to be kidding!

No.

They were a fact of life in

pioneer days.

If in doubt simply Google

‘Catalogue Houses, Eatons

and others’ by Les Henry.

In this book Henry quotes

from the 1910 Timothy Ea-

ton’s mail order catalogue

“An eight-room house with

a two-story gable-end de-

sign, full veranda and back

porch for $945.”

Included in the pack-

age were the doors and the

hardware required, even

hardwood fl ooring if de-

sired.

Hot water tanks, win-

dows, water pumps for

deep or shallow wells, heat-

ing and plumbing accesso-

ries could also be included.

Every cost was stated

and did not change during

delivery so the buyer knew

exactly what he had to pay.

Purchase was a cash deal

with lumber from various

mills delivered by train to

the town nearest the buyer.

These were not prefab

houses and the lumber was

not pre-cut.

Buyers simply chose a

plan from Eaton’s two dol-

lar plan book -- or could

submit their own plan --

and Eaton’s supplied more

than ample lumber with de-

tailed instruction as to the

construction procedure.

Eaton’s did not pioneer

the concept of mail-order

homes. As documented by

Henry, the earliest Cana-

dian proponent of pre-fab

houses may have been BC-

Mills with headquarters in

Vancouver and New West-

minster.

This fi rm was in opera-

tion before the Trans Can-

ada railroad was opened in

June 1886.

Their catalogue of plans

could well have served as

the prototype for the plan

books that would follow

from Eaton’s and others

including the University of

Saskatchewan, the United

Grain Growers, and the

Western Retail Lumber-

men’s Association. How-

ever, it was Timothy Eaton

who exploited the fi eld of

catalogue houses in west-

ern Canada.

East of the Great Lakes

there was Sovereign

(brothers W.J. and O.E.)

with lumber pre-cut and

labeled ready for assembly

to fi t each plan in their plan

book.

Sovereign was taken

over by the American com-

pany Aladdin in1914 and

thus that year would have

marked the advent of true

pre-fab houses in western

Canada.

However, as documented

by Henry, Sears Roebuck

& Co. was marketing pre-

cut catalogue houses in the

United States by 1908 and

certain design features of

their products did bear a

singular resemblance to

items featured in the cata-

logues available from com-

peting fi rms.

Then, as now, there was

no way to maintain an ab-

solute monopoly on good

ideas.

Aladdin with their true

pre-fab houses (thanks to

the Sovereign take-over)

was the only company to se-

riously challenge Eaton’s.

But times change, and

all of these companies had

faded from the scene by

1970.

Even Eaton’s, once the

undisputed master of the

retail fi eld, bowed to fi nan-

cial duress and terminated

its catalogue.

When viewing ‘elderly’

houses within a commu-

nity it may be tempting to

speculate that similarities

in appearance refl ect cata-

logue ‘ancestry’.

Keep in mind, however,

that such similarities are

more likely to identify a

common builder, an indi-

vidual who understood the

basics involved in erecting

walls and placing a roof

over them.

Nothing complicated was

involved. It was a relatively

simple process for anyone

capable of handling a saw,

square and hammer.

Indeed, such individu-

als were fully capable of

copying design features

that appealed to them, or

designing their own with-

out recourse to actual blue-

prints.

Thus, unless proof is

available in the form of

documents preserved by

the original occupants, the

researcher must rely on

comparisons of the exter-

nal appearance with illus-

trations portrayed in mail-

order catalogues of the

pioneer era.

Even this is fraught with

uncertainty.

Eaton’s, for example, in-

vited prospective custom-

ers to submit sketches of

designs they preferred.

As Henry says in his

book, “The fact that Ea-

ton’s would draft plans

and blueprints for a house

specifi c to an individual

buyer is important when

determining the origin of a

house.”

In Lacombe County, how-

ever, the Ken Atsinger farm

does provide two pristine

examples of the catalogue

house era.

These are the elegant

house erected in 1914 and

the grand barn erected in

1916. Both may be viewed

one-half mile to the north-

west as you top the over-

pass on Hwy. 2A between

Lacombe and Blackfalds.

The house was listed as the

Earlsfi eld #68 in Eaton’s

1912-13 house plan book.

It measured 24’x28’ with

kitchen, pantry, living

room and parlour on the

main fl oor and four bed-

rooms and bath up stairs.

Its distinguishing feature

was the double gambrel

roof design.

genuine catalogue houses

HERITAGE CHRYSLER JEEPLacombe, AB

ARTS & LEISUREBY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

A face recognized and loved by many,

whether they be fans of his show or music,

Fred Penner is a performer who has touched

the hearts of children, parents and other

music lovers across the country.

Developing a strong fan-base with his

television show, Fred Penner’s Place and

continuing to perform long after the series’

end in 1997, Penner said many of the fans

who enjoyed his show in the 90s grew up to

become fans who enjoy his music as adults.

“I’ve been able to follow my audience ba-

sically all of the decades,” said Penner. “I

don’t think many performers are able to do

that.”

Penner’s performance style is also to

credit for having such a broad audience. He

said that his style is very engaging and he

does not talk down to his audience. Instead,

he encourages audience participation and

talks with the audience, something that peo-

ple of any age can relate to.

“Often children’s entertainers feel they

need the sound of their voice and basically

talk down to the child,” said Penner. He

added his style of performing for children

where he talks to the audience and devel-

ops a dialogue to engage them, is something

that is becoming more rare but was common

when he was growing up.

Penner went on to say that his songs have

strong lyrics and good chord progressions.

Essentially, they are good songs and can be

appreciated by any age group. As such, the

songs Penner might play at a children’s or

family concert are the same songs he often

plays for an all-adult audience.

Penner has had a very long and successful

career. He said while many might consider

the height of his career to be while Fred

Penner’s Place was on the air, he has no par-

ticular favourite era.

He said he still enjoys performing now

just as much as he did then and doesn’t care

about the size of the audience that see him,

adding some of his fondest memories are

from shows in small venues.

Penner said the 80s and 90s were a heydey

for children’s performers. He mentioned fel-

low family entertainers Sharon, Lois and

Bram of The Elephant show, saying they,

like himself, were trendsetters in the world

of children’s and family entertainment.

“We were burning up a trail in those cou-

ple decades,” said Penner.

It is the connection made with an audi-

ence that Penner said is his favourite part

of performing. He said, knowing that each

show is different, or not knowing what will

happen at each concert, is exciting for him

and the audience.

“When you are on a stage and you look

out to the audience and they are looking at

you with expectation and with excitement

in their eyes and they are waiting to hear

the fi rst chord, the fi rst song and you never

know where it’s going to go once you get

rolling. But I love performing because of the

feedback that happens between performer

and audience,” said Penner.

Although he was immersed in music from

a very young age, often singing or making

up songs, Penner said it wasn’t until he got

older that he started playing musical instru-

ments. He only dabbled in learning to play

the piano and organ as a child and didn’t

even get his fi rst guitar, the instrument he

is certainly most associated with, until he

was 15.

“I was absorbed in music in my early days,”

said Penner. “Music was always in me.”

Penner said his sister Susan, who had

Down’s Syndrome, was critical in develop-

ing his music career. Susan helped him rec-

ognize the awareness and appreciation of

music in a child’s life, said Penner.

Susan died in 1971 and Penner’s father,

Edward, died a year later. It was around that

time that Penner began to really think about

what he wanted to do with his life.

“I was in my 20s, and those two mortal-

ity checks sort of rocked the foundation of

my world,” said Penner. He decided to fol-

low music as a career path, wanting to do

something for himself that he would enjoy.

“Music was a key to my world,” said Penner.

In the early 70s, Penner started playing

in lounges and bars and anywhere else he

could get a slot. That led Penner to meet his

good friend Al Simmons with whom he per-

formed in a band for many years. In turn,

that led to Penner meeting his future wife,

choreographer Odette Heyn.

It was through working with his wife that

Penner’s career shifted to children’s and

family entertainment. Together, the couple

started a children’s dance theatre company.

Now, after 40 years of making music,

Penner is still going strong and said he plans

to continue his career for as long as possible.

“I want to continue being relative to the

audience, whatever age they are.”

Penner performs tonight in a sold-out show

at St. Andrew’s United Church at 6:30 p.m.

Horoscope

A blue mood is nothing

to worry about, Aries.

It is just your body

telling you that you

may need to slow

down a bit. Take heed

and you’ll recharge

in no time.

Taurus, you are beginning a

contemplative phase of life right now, but you won’t have to sacrifi ce your social life to do

so. Take a few days off from socializing and

then return.

Try to avoid any deep

conversations or

controversial topics

this week, Gemini.

Right now it’s best if

you focus on more

trivial matters and

enjoy yourself.

Cancer, give yourself more time to fi gure

everything out if you are feeling indecisive

about someone. Don’t forge ahead

without feeling entirely comfortable with

the person.

Leo, don’t drop everything you’re

working on to address a developing issue

at home. Others can handle the situation just as well as you,

so keep your focus on preexisting tasks

at hand.

Virgo, listen to friends

and family members

when they encourage

you to try something

new this week. Trust

your instincts, as they

seldom turn you in the

wrong direction.

You have no time for gossip this week, Libra. Your plate is already full at work

and at home, so avoid getting caught up in anything that

compromises your focus.

Scorpio, though it may

feel like others are

fl ying past you while

you’re slowly plodding

along, eventually things

will even out and you’ll

end up where you

need to be.

Create some plausible

plans for the future

this week, Sagittarius.

Keep a journal to help

you keep track of your

ideas and make sense

of your plans.

Capricorn, your generosity fi nds you

devoting much of your time tending to the needs of others

this week. Enjoy your time helping others

and don’t be afraid to accept their gratitude.

Don’t get too hung up

if your week is all work

and little play. While

your schedule might

be hectic in the coming

days, some relaxation

time will arrive this

weekend.

Pisces, make

the most of new

opportunities that

present themselves

this week. The effort

you put in will pay off

in due time.

SPORTS

OPEN FIELD - Kyle Popp breaks away from the pack as he takes off on a long run for the Lacombe Raiders. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

Another blowout for the Lacombe Raiders


Lacombe’s Raiders are on a roll.

On Sept. 21, the Raiders extended their

undefeated season by adding yet another

win to their record when they crushed the

Ponoka Broncs 40-0.

However, Raiders Coach Mike Wood

isn’t too excited. He expressed his concern

that the Raiders may be a little too brash

after such a blowout win and it may come

back to bite them in their upcoming big

game against Stettler.

“To be honest, (I’m) less comfortable

(now),” said Wood. “They’re getting cocky.”

Stettler, like Lacombe, has been win-

ning games by large margins, said Wood.

As such, the team will be the biggest chal-

lenge the Raiders have faced yet.

Wood added that Stettler will come to

Lacombe after having played a challenging

game against Notre Dame, unlike Lacombe

who have breezed through their previous

two games.

Wood said that discipline will be a key

factor for the Raiders in the upcoming

game against Stettler.

“(Stettler is) going to go in off a real big

challenge, where we just have big heads,”

said Wood. He added that the goal for the

coaches this week will be to “Shrink those

heads” and make sure the players are dis-

ciplined enough to play the game they need

to.

While the Raiders’ offence was obviously

very much on form as they were last week-

end, this time it was the defense’s turn to

really shine.

Particularly in the fi rst half of the game,

Lacombe’s defense refused to budge for the

Broncs, at one point not letting them past

their own 20-yard line.

“Our defense played strong,” said Wood.

He said a few adjustments had been made

on defense that allowed the team to play

even stronger. He added that, on the offen-

sive end, the Raiders decided to give their

backups a chance to start and gain some ex-

perience in the game against Ponoka.

“They struggled a little bit, a little slop-

piness and stuff like that, but it was a great

experience for them and they defi nitely

needed it,” said Wood.

Lacombe’s strong defense stems from

the leadership of inside linebacker, James

Wood. The coach added that James is sur-

rounded by a group of really talented play-

ers that, combined with James’ leadership

work well as a unit, forming a strong co-

hesive unit that makes for strong defense.

By the same token, the Raiders’ strength

on offense stems from quarterback David

Muellar who is also surrounded by a group

of talented players.

Lacombe’s offense did their fair share on

Saturday as well.

Despite starting with mostly backups,

the Raiders’ offensive line wasted no time

in getting on the scoreboard and then slow-

ly but surely extended their lead over the

Broncs throughout the rest of the game.

The Raiders next game, the big chal-

lenge against Stettler, will take place at 6

p.m. on Sept. 28 which happens to be Foot-

ball Day in Lacombe.

Football Day in Lacombe is a tradition

that has existed for several years where

each of Lacombe’s minor football teams

plays a game at home.

Darren Gagnon, chair of the Lacombe

Athletic Park Association, said that foot-

ball is a sport where athletes of all differ-

ent skill levels can play together.

Football Day, he said, is a way to recog-

nize that.

“We sort of celebrate all the teams play-

ing,” said Gagnon. “It brings a lot of people

out. It excites the kids.”

Gagnon added that it is good for younger

players to see the older ones play and it en-

courages them to stay involved in the foot-

ball program.

He added that with so many teams play-

ing, there is more traffi c at the fi eld and

therefore larger crows which is also a good

thing.

“Everybody loves playing in front of a

large crowd,” said Gagnon.
