An eight-year-old collie/
husky mixed breed that
was rescued from a Cen-
tral Alberta reserve as a stray
and who recently underwent sur-
gery to remove both of her eyes,
is looking for her forever home.
Gem was rescued from the
Maskwacis reserve and came to
the Red Deer and District SPCA
in severe pain.
“Despite this she was full of
light and love and even had the
support of concerned reserve
residents who gave her food and
water and fi nally made the call
to our rescue for help. At eight-
years-old she had obviously
adapted to blindness from what
appeared to be a severe eye condi-
tion that deteriorated over time,”
said Amy Corpe, animal care
manager at the Red Deer and Dis-
trict SPCA.
She added that Gem has been
at the facility for just over fi ve
weeks. “I named her Gem be-
cause from the minute I met her
on the reserve, I could tell that
she had an impeccable tempera-
ment and personality. Though
I was a stranger to her and she
was living in a dark world, she in-
stantly greeted me with tail wags,
kisses and pure trust. Upon meet-
ing her, I couldn’t help but think,
wow, what a gem, and I knew that
had to be her name. The name has
stuck and she has even started to
respond to it.”
She added that upon admit-
tance into the shelter and through
vet examination SPCA offi cials
immediately found that she was
fully blind and was in severe pain
due to the condition of her eyes.
“Our guess is that she had some
kind of trauma to both eyes but
we are not sure what the cause
was,” said Corpe.
“We discussed euthanasia but
as a no kill shelter we really try to
do all we can to avoid this option.
Instead we chose to surgically
remove both eyes to alleviate her
pain. In this case, the surgery was
a life-saving operation.
“The primary reason that we
opted to go ahead with surgery
was because she has an amaz-
ing personality and had already
adapted to life with no vision. We
weren’t taking anything away
from her, other than the pain”
said Corpe.
Tara Hellewell, executive direc-
tor at the Red Deer and District
SPCA, said because the organi-
zation has an in-house vet, they
are able to get a cost savings for
procedures.
“It does give us the luxury to
take some of these specialty cas-
es whereas we never would have
been able to do that otherwise.
Gem had two surgeries and this
is a good example of what we
can do when we have the funding
available,” she said. “This was
defi nitely a team discussion and
everyone had their say and there
was some concern if this was the
in the best interest of Gem and
now everyone agrees this was
absolutely the best decision for
her.”
Gem has since had a full recov-
ery and is doing extremely well.
She has adapted to living in a
shelter environment and offi cials
are now looking to fi nd her a for-
ever home. “We strongly believe
that within a few weeks of being
in a new home, she will learn to
adapt to that environment. She
is a very intelligent dog and due
to loss of vision, all of her other
senses have been heightened,”
said Corpe.
She added that Gem would be
okay in a home with other pets
but those pets need to be well
socialized. “Gem is a senior and
is low-energy. She isn’t the type
that wants to play with other ani-
mals but we believe that in time,
she may form a bond with anoth-
er dog or other pet. We’re look-
ing for a quiet, calm, retirement
home for her with no children
under the age of 10,” said Corpe.
She added that Gem’s favou-
rite activity is to lay in the sun,
sprawled out on the grass. “She
would also be content to just lay
in a dog bed by your feet while
you watch TV. She just wants to
be around people.”
Those interested in adopting
Gem will have to go through an
application process.
“This is not something we
typically do with adoptions but I
would like to do a trial adoption.
We want to be a support to the
adoptive family because of her
special needs. We want to put her
in the home and let her be there
for a couple of weeks so that she
can adjust to the environment,
and the family can adjust to hav-
ing a new special needs dog in
their home.
“And then they can continue to
keep in touch so we can help with
the transition,” said Corpe. “Once
the family, myself and Gem feel
that it’s still going great, then we
will facilitate the adoption but we
still want to stay in touch and act
as a support to the family.”
In addition, the SPCA has a ma-
jor fundraiser coming up – Bark
At The Bend takes place June
28th.
Red Deerians are encouraged
to take part in the event. Funds
raised will go towards supporting
veterinary care at the Red Deer
and District SPCA. The goal is to
raise $20,000.
FURRY FRIEND - Amy Corpe, animal care manager with the Red Deer and District SPCA cuddles with Gem, an eight-year-old collie/husky mixed breed, who was rescued from a Central Alberta reserve and who recently underwent surgery to remove both of her eyes. Gem is looking for her forever home.

Rodney Arens has been
found guilty of impaired
driving and dangerous
driving after a crash killed
a 13-year-old boy on Cana-
da Day in 2010. Arens, 36, of
Red Deer, was found guilty
of impaired driving caus-
ing death, impaired driv-
ing causing bodily harm,
dangerous driving causing
death, dangerous driving
causing bodily harm and
breach of recognizance.
Sentencing submissions
will be presented tomor-
row.
In 2010, police said Anou-
luck ‘Jeffrey’ Chanmina-
raj, 13, was in a Honda Civ-
ic with his then 18-year-old
brother Jamie and 20-year-
old sister Stephanie, who
was driving, at about 11
p.m. on Canada Day when
a Dodge Ram pick-up truck
crashed into the passenger
side of the car. Their car
was turning left through
the intersection of Taylor
Dr. and Kerry Wood Dr.
when it was struck by the
pick-up truck. The siblings
were on their way to see the
Canada Day fi reworks.
Jeffrey was pronounced
dead at the scene.
Arens’ eight-week trial
wrapped up last week with
closing arguments.
Justice Kirk Sisson
handed down his decision
yesterday in court. He said
the fact that Arens drove
recklessly through an area
populated with people who
were heading to Bower
Ponds to watch the Canada
Day fi reworks was a, “Stun-
ning act of wrongdoing.”
He added there were in-
dications over the course
of events that Arens’ judg-
ment was poor. “A normal
person would have taken
heightened precaution giv-
en the activity in the area
and Mr. Arens did not,” he
said, adding that he is sat-
isfi ed Arens was traveling
at least 79 kms/hr at the
time of the collision and he
is satisfi ed with testimony
from witnesses who stated
they heard Arens acceler-
ate before the collision to
beat the yellow light.
“He operated the vehicle
in a way that was danger-
ous to the public,” said Sis-
son. “I believe Ms. Chanmi-
naraj stopped and took the
proper care to make the left
turn. It was not the actions
of Ms. Chanminaraj that
caused the collision. It was
the actions of Mr. Arens.”
Sisson added that alcohol
was a contributing factor
beyond a reasonable doubt
in the collision.
“We know Mr. Arens
spent the afternoon with
friends. We know Mr.
Arens had three beer and
one shot, although no one
kept a close eye on him,” he
said. “Consuming alcohol
was a signifi cant cause of
the collision.”
After Sisson’s decision,
Jamie and Stephanie spoke
to the media outside the
courtroom.
Stephanie said she is
glad the trial has ended.
“It’s been so long and I’m
so glad it’s come to a close,”
said Stephanie. “I don’t
even know how I’m feeling
right now. I’m glad for the
closure for everyone – it’s
been a long drawn-out pro-
cess for everyone.
“It’s time to move on to-
gether as a family and put
this behind us hopefully.”
Throughout the trial
dozens of witnesses were
called to testify including
civilian witnesses, para-
medics and police as well as
friends of Arens and wait-
resses that served him the
night of the collision.
Meanwhile, a number of
exhibits were entered dur-
ing proceedings including a
nearly 11-minute video that
showed Arens shortly after
the collision at the former
downtown police detach-
ment. In the video Arens
could be seen swaying
while he was waiting to be
processed. It also showed
him getting his photo taken
before being escorted off
camera.
Crown prosecutor Wayne
Silliker said the video is
signifi cant. “In the video
we see the accused stumble
as described by the civil-
ians and police members.
The accused has an inabil-
ity to maintain his balance.
He staggers backwards and
his head bobs,” said Sil-
liker. “The next day we see
the accused after several
hours and he walks a simi-
lar path to the night before.
He is straight as an arrow.
He is no longer impaired by
alcohol.”
Defense lawyer Donna
Derie-Gillespie said there
were witnesses who did not
smell alcohol on Arens the
night of the collision. “The
fi remedics attended the
cells where Arens was and
they did not smell alcohol.
These men were hands on
assessing Mr. Arens,” she
said, adding that other wit-
nesses testifi ed during the
trial that Arens had watery
eyes and was fl ush in the
face that night. “Having a
fl ushed face doesn’t make
someone impaired to drive.
There is too much doubt on
the impaired.”
Derie-Gillespie also said
that it is known that Arens
was drinking before the
collision, but that doesn’t
mean he was impaired.
“We know Mr. Arens was
drinking on July 1, 2010.
We have witnesses who say
he had three beers and one
shooter from around 6 – 10
p.m. There has to be proof
that he was impaired at the
time of driving – not before
or after.”
Silliker said that in terms
of the dangerous driving
charges, there is evidence
to back those charges up.
“What happened was
that the accused failed to
see the car until the car
had almost completed the
left hand turn causing the
collision, death and bodily
harm that brings us here
today. Stephanie almost
completed the turn. The
accused failed to look out.
He accelerated to beat the
light and failed to see the
vehicle. A reasonable per-
son would have slowed
their speed because of the
people, children and fami-
lies (who were there to cel-
ebrate Canada Day). They
certainly would not accel-
erate.”

Members of the com-
munity gathered at Red
Deer College on Monday
morning for the announce-
ment of Bill and Irma We-
likoklad’s $1 million gift to
the institution.
The million-dollar gift
is the second largest in-
dividual gift ever made
to RDC. When combined
with a previous major gift
from the Welikoklad family
four years ago, their total
investment towards RDC
amounts to $1.25 million.
One hundred thousand
dollars of this latest invest-
ment will be put towards
growing the Welikoklad
Family/Home Building
Centre Endowment, which
was established in 2010
with their initial gift.
The remainder of this
latest gift will be entrusted
to the College for projects
deemed most benefi cial to
the future of the institution
including facility enhance-
ment and development of
new and existing programs.
President and CEO of
Red Deer College Joel Ward
spoke during the ceremo-
ny, in which he stated the
gift couldn’t have been a
more perfect way to cap
off RDC’s 50th anniver-
sary year. “Our 50th an-
niversary has been one to
remember. With this legacy
gift, we are not only ready
for the next 50 years, but
situated precisely where
we need to be to grow with
Central Alberta,” said
Ward. “This gift is indica-
tive of the kind of people
in our community and the
ongoing support we receive
from people who know and
value the College.”
He added he believes the
Welikoklad’s philanthropy,
“Is extremely appreciated.”
Welikoklad spoke to the
crowd of his own personal
story related to the Col-
lege, in which he shared
how he began working for a
small construction compa-
ny many years ago which
eventually led to him hav-
ing a hand in building the
original facility at RDC.
He explained how in 1966
when the College moved
from its Lindsay Thurber
location Welikoklad was
general foreman of the con-
struction team.
Welikoklad went on to
start his own company, Ex-
ecutive Homes, which led
to a later opening of a con-
tractor lumber yard known
today as Home Build-
ing Centre, which is now
owned and operated by Bill
and Irma’s son, Jason We-
likoklad.
“We feel our investment
was very worthy and the
monies put to good use,”
said Bill.
“Our endowment has
made it possible to pass
out scholarships to deserv-
ing students each year and
these students have always
been appreciative. We feel
grateful to be able to give
some support to our com-
munity, which has been
good to us, and in which I
have lived for 76 years.”

will be announcing a later
date for the renaming of an
unannounced area of the
school after the Welikokla-
ds.

If there were an ice sculpture carving contest or maybe
even a skating rink on the Ross Street Patio this winter,
would you consider visiting it?
The City of Red Deer is conducting public consultation
into whether leaving the Ross Street Patio as a permanent
fi xture would be worthwhile. The pilot project that is be-
ing considered for the 2014-2015 winter season is part of a
goal to increase options for activity downtown in winter.
“The Ross Street Patio has been a social hub in down-
town Red Deer for the past three summers, naturally, we’d
like to see if it should become a place for outdoor winter
entertainment,” said Jordan Furness, downtown coordi-
nator.
“We want to hear from everyone. Downtown business
owners, current Ross Street Patio patrons, and Red Deeri-
ans in general,” said Furness. “We’ll be on foot conduct-
ing surveys and also will be conducting one online. We
encourage everyone to give their feedback into this pilot
project.”
If you’d like to participate in the online survey, go to
www.reddeer.ca/RossStreetPatio.
Once the consultation process is complete, a proposal
will be developed and presented to City council for con-
sideration.

A young Red Deer woman has re-
ceived a top honour and has been
crowned Miss Alberta 2014.
Gina Omilon was scouted out by
one of the agents from Miss Teen
Canada for the title.
“They just opened the division. It
was just for the U.S. when it just start-
ed and now they have opened it up
to South America and Canada,” she
said, adding that she was offi cially
crowned Miss Alberta 2014 in April.
This month Omilon will head to
Florida where she will compete for
the title of Miss American Beauty.
That pageant takes place June 24-
28th.
“I’m excited for it. It will be my fi rst
international competition for pag-
eants. I think that it is going to be ex-
citing to see how different countries
come together.”
Before being crowned Miss Al-
berta 2014, Omilon has worked hard
to achieve other goals as well. She
was crowned Miss Teen Red Deer at
a provincial pageant hosted by the
Miss Teen Canada World in Calgary
in March 2012. She held that title for
one year before passing it on.
And last July she co-hosted the
Miss Teen Canada World Pageant in
Toronto alongside Luke Bilyk of De-
grassi: The Next Generation.
Meanwhile, Omilon is using her
title as Miss Alberta 2014 to spread a
message of confi dence as well.
This fall she will be traveling to
Edmonton to speak at a conference
called True Beauty for young girls
and boys.
“It’s about inner confi dence and
the fact that you don’t need a relation-
ship to be somebody or a spectacular
job to be somebody,” she said. “It’s
about fi nding your own inner happi-
ness and self-confi dence.”
She added she feels honoured to
have the opportunity to use her title
in a positive way and to help make a
difference.
“It’s exciting and it’s fun like go to
the NHL playoffs and meet celebrities.
But one of my favourite things is to go
to and speak at schools. I know when
I did Miss Teen Red Deer my platform
was education and that has defi nitely
not changed. I love being invited to
speak at conferences or just to go a Kin-
dergarten class and colour with them.
I am grateful for those experiences be-
cause not everyone gets to do that.”
Omilon has been attending The
American Musical and Dramatic
Academy in Los Angeles. She moved
there in the fall of 2012 to begin her
schooling and will spend the next
three years completing her Bachelor
of Fine Arts specializing in acting.
Last fall she had the opportunity to
go to New York for an exchange pro-
gram.
“It was a crazy learning experi-
ence but it was amazing. One of the
highlights from New York in general
was watching the ball drop in Times
Square which was amazing. I also
went to the Hunger Games premiere
so I got to meet with Philip Seymour
Hoffman roughly two or three weeks
before he passed away.
“I was really lucky to be able to
meet him.”
She also had the opportunity to be
on a fi lm set twice with Johnny Depp.
“He is so incredibly nice.”
Omilon will spend the summer
in Red Deer before heading back for
her third year out of four in LA at
The American Musical and Dramatic
Academy.

Last week in Red Deer, many locals had the
privilege of honouring some pretty incred-
ible women.
The Women of Excellence Awards Gala,
hosted by the Red Deer & District Commu-
nity Foundation, was held on June 10th and
Central Albertans from all facets of the com-
munity gathered in celebration of the accom-
plishments of the nominees.
Each year, women from across Central Al-
berta are honoured in a variety of categories.
The selection committee then chooses a re-
cipient for the Lifetime Achievement Award
from all of the nominees.
This year, Eileen Cole received that award.
She has worked tirelessly in the community
whether it’s organizing the ladies’ luncheon
for the Lending Cupboard, teaching Sunday
School, working political campaigns or vol-
unteering at the Ronald McDonald Charity
Bonspiel. After her retirement, Cole accepted
a 16-month, full-time volunteer position as co-
ordinator of the Firehall Fun Factory which
was an integral part of the $2.5 million Lit-
eracy & Legacy Campaign for the children’s
library.
Another accomplishment includes organiz-
ing Red Deer’s very fi rst Festival of Trees on
a zero budget. She continued organizing that
event for the next eight years.
Cole was also the Health Region Founda-
tion liaison for the Healing and Hope Cam-
paign which raised $2.5 million to fund the in-
terfaith chapel and meditative garden at the
Red Deer Regional Hospital.
Hearing about all of the accomplishments
Cole has achieved to date was inspiring.
Other recipients included Melanie Tuck for
Athletics, Recreation and Fitness; Gwendo-
lyn Clarke for Business and the Professions;
Valdene Callin and Delta Rempel for Commu-
nity Building; Helen Sommer-Longshore for
Education and Training; Barbara Jean Tuma-
nut for Entrepreneurship; Joanne Temple for
Environment; Dr. Jennifer Anne Bestard for
Health and Wellness; Rubyann Rice for Hu-
man Services and Madeleine Schultz received
the Young Woman of Excellence Award.
A special congratulations goes to Judy
Dick, manager of our sister paper, the Pono-
ka News, who was nominated in the Commu-
nity Building category.
RDDCF’s mission is to be a community
catalyst and grow a legacy which strengthens
the quality of life in Red Deer and Central Al-
berta.
The Women of Excellence Awards Gala is
their celebration of innovation, leadership,
achievement and talent as demonstrated by
women in the community.
Celebrating women
Over the past two de-
cades, the general Cana-
dian attitude toward wait
times for medical treat-
ment seems to have evolved
into a resigned acceptance
of this ostensibly ‘mild nui-
sance’ in an otherwise ex-
cellent system.
It’s time for a reality
check.
Since 1993, the average
wait for treatment has al-
most doubled (to 18.2 weeks
in 2013), per capita public
healthcare expenditures
have increased by about
40% (after adjusting for in-
fl ation), and it is becoming
increasingly apparent that
patients are suffering the
consequences.
And yet, there is no real
indication that politicians
intend to introduce mean-
ingful reforms to solve this
problem.
It seems we have become
comfortably numb to this
fundamental fl aw that is
now a defi ning feature of
Canadian healthcare.
Unfortunately, wait
times are not benign in-
conveniences – especially
not when they are as long
and ubiquitous as those
in Canada. Many patients
face physical pain and suf-
fering, mental anguish, and
lost economic productivity
(about $1,200 per patient)
while waiting for treatment
in this country.
For example, Statistics
Canada found that about
one fi fth of patients who
visited a specialist, and
about 11% of those wait-
ing for non-emergency
surgery, were adversely af-
fected by their wait. Many
reported experiencing
worry, stress, anxiety, pain,
and diffi culties with daily
activities.
Protracted wait times
may also result in poten-
tially treatable illnesses
and injuries becoming
chronic, permanent, debili-
tating conditions. In such
circumstances, requiring
patients to accept inordi-
nately long waiting times
without the opportunity to
seek alternative treatment
denies them their basic hu-
man right to lead healthy
lives (as recognized by the
Supreme Court in 2005).
It is precisely for this rea-
son that Dr. Brian Day,
former head of the Cana-
dian Medical Association,
is fi ghting a court case in
British Columbia to allow
private treatment for those
patients who have fallen
through the cracks of the
public system. One of his
co-plaintiffs has already
died while waiting for the
trial, while another is per-
manently disabled because
of neglect on the public
wait list.
Sadly, their stories are
not isolated cases. In a
recent study, Nadeem Es-
mail, Taylor Jackson and
I investigated whether the
changes (mostly increases)
in wait times between 1993
and 2009 had any impact
on mortality rates. After
controlling for relevant fac-
tors (physicians, health ex-
penditures, age, Gross Do-
mestic Product, inequality,
and gender), we found that
there was, indeed, a statis-
tically signifi cant relation-
ship between wait times
and the incidents of female
deaths.
Specifi cally, after
crunching the numbers we
estimated between 25,456
and 63,090 Canadian wom-
en may have died as a re-
sult of increased wait times
during this period. Large
as this number is, it doesn’t
even begin to quantify the
possibility of increased dis-
ability and poorer quality
of life as a result of pro-
tracted wait times.
Clearly, wait times may
have serious consequenc-
es for some patients. It is
inhumane and immoral
to force these patients to
choose between long waits
in the public system (risk-
ing their health and well-
being) and leaving their
homeland (and families) to
seek treatment elsewhere.
Fortunately, the noble
goal of universal health-
care can be achieved with-
out paying for it with pa-
tients’ lives. In fact, the
experience of other coun-
tries suggests that wait
times and single-payer in-
surance are neither neces-
sary, nor common features
of successful universal
healthcare systems around
the world. Data from the
Commonwealth Fund, and
studies by Fraser Institute
have repeatedly shown that
countries like Switzerland,
the Netherlands, Germany,
Japan and Australia en-
sure universal healthcare
for their residents without
the long wait times found
in Canada.
How do they do it? By
encouraging competition
between regulated private
insurers, requiring patient
cost sharing (through co-
payments and deductibles
with annual limits), and re-
placing global budgets with
activity-based funding for
hospitals (so that money
follows the patient).
Defenders of Canada’s
status quo will likely balk
at these suggestions and
cling to their dream of
government-delivered uni-
versal healthcare – ignor-
ing the fact that it simply
doesn’t work for many pa-
tients. But those who are
pragmatic, and truly com-
mitted to fi xing our broken
system, should seriously
consider implementing
reforms that seem to have
worked in other countries
that are equally commit-
ted to universal access to
healthcare.

The annual Special Olympics Red Deer
Celebrity Breakfast was held Tuesday at
Westerner Park featuring Olympic hockey
star Shannon Szabados.
Hundreds attended to hear Szabados talk
about her early experiences starting out in
hockey – at just fi ve years old – right up to
Canada’s Women’s Olympic Team.
Prior to her speech, Jerry Tennant,
chair of Special Olympics Red Deer, spoke
about the latest happenings with the orga-
nization. He noted that this year marked
the eighth annual breakfast, and the event
was also a sell-out.
“Our mandate is to improve the lives of
individuals with intellectual disabilities
through sport,” he said. “In Red Deer, we
do that by offering 11 different sport pro-
grams for over 250 athletes. We also have
50 coaches and other volunteers.
“We always try to have our athletes to
at least one out of town activity as well as
hosting a number of our own competitions
so they have the chance to excel in their
own particular sports.”
Looking ahead, nine Red Deer athletes
have been chosen to be on Team Alberta
and represent the province next month at
the national games in Vancouver.
As for Szabados, a passion for hockey
came, as mentioned, in early childhood.
“When you are that age you don’t realize
who you are playing with,” she chuckled,
noting there was just no women’s or girls’
hockey at the time. “I just wanted to play
hockey.”
She played pewee when she was still
atom age, bantam when she was peewee
age and Midget AAA when she was still a
bantam aged player.
She became the fi rst and only female to
play in the WHL and played her fi rst game
against the Vancouver Giants with Carey
Price of the Montreal Canadians as her
backup on the bench.
She stopped 20 of 22 shots that game.
She went on to play fi ve years of Junior A
in the AJHL where she played in one Top
Prospects game, two All-Star games, was
named her team’s Most Valuable Player
twice and was named the League’s Top
Goaltender in 2007.
After 18 years of playing men’s hockey
she joined Team Canada full time to train
for the 2010 Olympics.
She led Team Canada to a gold medal in
what was quoted as “One of the greatest
goaltending performances in the history
of the women’s game.”
She shut out the Americans 2-0 stopping
all 28 shots. For her efforts she was named
to the Olympic All-Star Team, and was also
named the Olympics’ Top Goaltender.
Szabados was later the starting goal-
tender for Team Canada at the Sochi 2014
Olympics and became the fi rst goalie in the
history of the Women’s National Team to
start in two Olympic gold medal games.
She recalled the grueling bootcamp she
and her teammates endured prior to both
the Vancouver and Sochi games, but point-
ed out that times like that helped bond the
women together and ultimately contrib-
uted to victory. “Every single thing we did
was timed, and was a race,” she recalls.
But a tenacity was built into the team via
the adversity – it was a challenging year
prior to Sochi in particular marked by sev-
eral losses, she said.
“We decided to forget it and said yes, it’s
been a tough year but we can do this. We’ve
been through it all, let’s just do this.”
The team landed a tremendous comeback
during that last game, and ultimately took
gold. The coach told her prior to the game
he was confi dent in her. “He said you were
built for this – you were built for big games.
“I was ready, and I think as a team we
were all ready. I think it was all the chal-
lenges we had been through that made
us ready for that game,” she said. “So my
message is that adversity not only makes
us better teammates, better players, but it
makes us better people as well.”
TEAM PLAYER – Two time Olympic gold medalist, Shannon Szabados takes a moment to share her medals with a member of Red Deer’s Special Olympic swim team, Mike McIver, during the annual Special Olympics Celebrity Breakfast held Tuesday at the Harvest Centre.

We are pleased to introduce a new concept of Supportive Living Services to our communities.
We believe that our Residents should be able to stay in their suite of choice as their needs change and more assistance is required. We know that as you age, some everyday activities can become challenging, preventing
you from enjoying the simple pleasures of living.
Changing needs do not need to be accompanied by a change in autonomy. Every senior deserves the privilege of enjoying an atmosphere that is warm and inviting: that surrounds them with kindness and compassion, providing care in a manner that preserves dignity and meets the needs of each individual in a very personal way and maintains independence. As the responsibilities of providing care for a much loved friend or family member becomes more than what can adequately be managed at home, we offer
an alternative.
Allow us to provide care and services, while you return to the enjoyment of living, regaining your relationship and peace-of-mind. As Red Deer’s premier Independent and Assisted Living residence, Symphony Senior
Living has a reputation of taking care of seniors.
Call us today and we’d be glad to listen and share information that will help.We can also arrange a personalized tour that will make all the difference in the world.
Ask us about our Move In and Rental Rebate Incentives.
Then
is the place for you.

Funding announced for housing programMore money has been announced for a housing pro-
gram in the City.
MP Earl Dreeshen announced last week that the fed-
eral government will be investing more than $2 million in
funding to the City of Red Deer as it implements Housing
First, an evidence-based approach to end homelessness.
Dreeshen made the announcement last Friday on behalf
of the Honourable Candice Bergen, minister of State (So-
cial Development) during a press conference at City Hall.
“We are pleased to partner with the City of Red Deer to
implement Housing First,” said Dreeshen.
“Through this new approach, we can move out of cri-
sis mode in terms of managing homelessness and work
towards eliminating it altogether building stronger com-
munities and ensuring Canada’s long-term prosperity.”
Housing First is the cornerstone of the government’s
renewed Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS), he
added. It aims to stabilize the lives of homeless individu-
als for the long-term by fi rst moving them into permanent
housing and then providing additional support for under-
lying issues, such as addiction and mental health. The end
goal is ensuring these individuals become self-suffi cient,
fully participating members of society.
Since the launch of the HPS in April 2007, nearly 25,000
Canadians who are homeless or at risk of becoming home-
less have benefi tted from education and training opportu-
nities. More than 27,000 have received help to fi nd work
and more than 4,800 new shelter beds have been created.
The City is receiving this funding over fi ve years to sup-
port projects in the community that prevent and reduce
homelessness, including projects that address the needs
of the Aboriginal homeless population.
“Preventing and reducing homelessness in our commu-
nity is a priority for the City of Red Deer, but we cannot do
it alone,” said Mayor Tara Veer.
“It is thanks to funding like this and a continued com-
mitment at all orders of government – local, provincial
and national – that we are able to continue supporting the
community in its endeavor to end homelessness through
systemic changes in policies, procedures, partnerships
and processes.”
The Housing First approach came into effect on April
1st and is being introduced gradually across the country
over the next two years with specifi ed funding targets, tak-
ing into account varying capacity and resources among
communities.
On April 8th, the Mental Health Commission of Canada
(MHCC) released the fi nal report of the ‘At Home/Chez
Soi’ project. It was the largest study of its kind and provid-
ed strong evidence that Housing First is an effective way
to reduce homelessness.
“The government’s renewal of the Homelessness Part-
nering Strategy with a shift to Housing First is great
news,” said Louise Bradley, president and CEO of the
Mental Health Commission of Canada. “The results of the
At Home/Chez Soi project clearly demonstrate that the
Housing First approach works in Canada. A house is so
much more than a roof over one’s head. It represents dig-
nity, security, and, above all, hope.”
Over the course of the MHCC study, an average of 73%
of participants in the Housing First group remained in
stable housing, compared to 32% for the group receiving
usual care.
The study also showed that Housing First is a sound fi -
nancial investment that can lead to signifi cant cost sav-
ings. For those participants that were the highest users of
emergency and social services, every $10 invested led to an
average savings to government of $21.72.

Eliminates Back and Neck Pain for Good!
“”
“How to Get Rid of YourBack and Neck Pain for Good!”
©MMXIV, Wellness Coach® Inc. All Rights Reserved
Dear Friend and Fellow Back and Neck Pain Sufferer:
Imagine what your life could be like WITHOUT back and neck pain. You could get your old life back.
You could enjoy life again.
“Pain Gone! At Last, Here is the Natural Solution toRidding Yourself of
Back and Neck Pain Forever!”You suffer and have repeatedly seen
doctors in the past few days, weeks and months because of your constant pain.
If you have, you’ve likely received this advice: pain drugs or physiotherapy or…both. If those two don’t help, you are then told: “You’ll have to learn to live with your pain or have surgery.” I don’t know about you . . . but neither of these options sound appealing to me.
You’ve been to your chiropractor. They did everything they could. You’ve had acupuncture. Nothing has helped.
What are YOU supposed to do? Just suffer? The thought of a lifetime of pain and limitation is depressing. Your joy has been sucked out of you. You can’t enjoy your life. In fact, it’s hard to get around the house. Even the basics are a chore.
What if there was another way? What if there was a non-surgical, painless, in of ce and cheap way to get uick relief as well as long term freedom from pain, suffering and loss of mobility? There is another way. Keep reading!
“Imagine…You Free fromBack and Neck Pain!”
You are frustrated and desperate. Frustrated by the fact no one is paying attention to the cause of your problem. Only Band-Aid suggestions: rest, pain killers, anti-in ammatories, physiotherapy, adjustments and needles. YOU are desperate to nd someone who can help get rid of your misery caused by bulging, herniated discs or arthritis causing spinal stenosis.
“Announcing! The New Way to Get Rid of Back and Neck Pain!”
New breakthrough medical discoveries and technologies get to the root cause of your back and neck pain. If you suffer with bulging or herniated discs, spine arthritis, stenosis, even failed back or neck surgeries, YOU have a brand new chance to nd help and relief. Your pain could be gone for good.
People, just like you are reporting their pain is gone. They are able to reduce and sometimes eliminate their pain drugs. They are able to enjoy their lives again. Imagine, climbing up and down the stair, going for walks, playing with the kids or grandkids
. . . WITHOUT pain and WITHOUT limitations! What would you be able to enjoy if your back and neck pain were gone? I can tell you one thing. You’d enjoy your life again and you’d have a lot more fun.
New computerized technologies gently release pressure on delicate discs and nerves. In addition, state-of-the-art healing lasers and whole body vibration and…science based alternative medicines, make you feel better and move better.
“When Doctors Suffer fromBack and Neck Pain –
This is What They do!”Many doctors treat themselves with
these new medical breakthroughs before considering surgery. How do I know?
I know because I’m one of them. You see, four years ago, I herniated a disc in my back. I am now pain FREE and able to walk, work, golf, putter in the garden and even ride my motorcycle. Someday, when I have grandkids, I’ll be able to get down on the oor and play with them.
What about YOU? What would you do and enjoy if your pain was gone and you could move and play? I can guarantee your
life would be better than it is now!
Many are suffering needlessly. Back and neck pain are ruining their lives. They have given up hope or have been told: “There is no hope.” Maybe you are one of them. I want you to know: “You have options. There is hope!”

This spring marks an
important milestone in our
community’s history. The
Willow Valley Presbyterian
Church (St. Andrew’s Val-
ley Centre) is celebrating
its centennial. As such, it
is one of the oldest rural
churches in Central Al-
berta.
The origins of the Pres-
byterian Church in this
region actually go back
more than 130 years. On
June 24th, 1883, Rev. A.B.
Baird held the fi rst formal
church service in Central
Alberta at the home of Rod-
erick MacKenzie, one of
the earliest settlers in the
Red Deer area.
As a refl ection of the fre-
quent ecumenicalism of
the pioneer era, while Rev.
A.B. Baird was Presbyte-
rian; Roderick MacKenzie
was a devout Anglican.
Subsequent services
were held at such places
as the home of Sage Ban-
nerman, the ferryman at
the Red Deer Crossing and
at Fort Normandeau. Gen-
erally the services were
conducted by travelling
missionaries and student
ministers, often nicknamed
‘saddle bag preachers’ or
‘sky pilots’.
By 1887, settlement at
Red Deer had grown suffi -
ciently that the Knox Col-
lege Student Missionary
Society assigned William
Neilly to be the fi rst resi-
dent student missionary
at the Red Deer Crossing
settlement. In early 1890s,
Presbyterian, Methodist
and Anglican ministers es-
tablished residency in the
hamlet of Red Deer, which
had been created on the
new Calgary-Edmonton
Railway. Those ministers
also ventured out into the
countryside to conduct
missionary work and to
start new congregations.
In the summer of 1893,
Rev. G.D. Ireland, a Presby-
terian student minister sta-
tioned in Red Deer, began
holding services in homes
in the Willowdale, Valley
Centre, Edwell and Hill End
districts east of Red Deer.
In 1900, in another example
of ecumenical coopera-
tion, the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches agreed
to separate their mission
fi elds to reduce overlap and
competition.
The Methodists with-
drew from the Willowdale,
Valley Centre and Hill End
districts, while the Presby-
terians withdrew from the
Horn Hill, Springvale and
Clearview areas.
By 1905, the Presbyte-
rian Church had grown in
east Central Alberta to the
extent that a little church
building was constructed
in the Willowdale district.
The mission fi eld was
also soon extended east-
wards to Hillsdown, Cum-
berland and Bellgrove.
In 1910, Mr. Alex Purdie
donated two acres of land
along the Coal Trail as a
future site for a new Pres-
byterian Church. Rev. Wil-
liam Eakin, a student mis-
sionary, was assigned to the
Valley Centre-Hillsdown
area and also provided ser-
vices to other districts to
the east.
The Valley Centre Young
People’s Society was creat-
ed. Fundraising also com-
menced for a church build-
ing. On May 17th, 1914, St.
Andrew’s Valley Centre
was opened with Rev. W.
Shearer, superintendent of
missions, conducting a ser-
vice and Rev. W.G. Brown
of Red Deer conducting an-
other service.
In 1920, the Valley Cen-
tre congregation joined the
Willowdale fi eld.
Rev. C. McKay became
the minister. In 1922, Valley
Centre constituted its fi rst
session with three elders
being ordained.
In 1924, the manse from
Cumberland was moved
to Valley Centre. A church
hall was added to the back
of the church.
Improvements were
made to St. Andrew’s in the
1960s and 1970s with a base-
ment, gas furnace, electric-
ity and plumbing installed.
In 2005, with the many
changes happening with
rural churches, the con-
gregations of Valley Centre
and Willowdale were amal-
gamated. The congregation
then became known as Wil-
low Valley.
In 2010, the Zion (Willow-
dale) Presbyterian Church
was closed and the build-
ing put up for sale. Services
have subsequently been
conducted solely at St. An-
drew’s Valley Centre.
The Willow Valley Pres-
byterian congregation will
celebrate the centennial of
St. Andrew’s on Saturday,
June 21st at the Valley Cen-
tre Community Centre and
on Sunday, June 22nd at the
Centre as well at 10 a.m. All
are welcome to attend.

Conservative leader hopeful Jim Pren-
tice make a City stop recently with the aim
of drumming up support for the Septem-
ber vote to land leadership of the party.
Earlier this month he toured Collicutt
Energy Services and said he was struck by
the vitality and dynamism of the City and
Central Alberta in particular.
Prentice said his decision to run for the
Tory leadership was prompted by his con-
cern for the province and the “Direction
for Alberta. “I feel that we need strong
leadership going forward. Really, the deci-
sions to be made in Alberta over the next
four years will really determine what this
province is going to look like for the next
50 years.”
Issues run the gamut from infrastruc-
ture investment, public fi nances, the prov-
ince’s industrial base, value-added en-
hancements to products, questions about
the province’s relationships with the rest
of the country and issues surrounding the
environment, among others.
“These are all critical questions where
leadership matters.”
In talks with supporters, Prentice said
people tell him they don’t think the prov-
ince is being well-governed. “They think
there is a lack of focus and priority-setting.
They want a premier that will take the
time, sit and talk and listen to what their
concerns are. They want leadership and
they want a strong sense of direction.”
He also said people want to be part of
fi nding solutions to issues ranging from
education, health-care and jobs training to
taking care of seniors, he said.
“They want solutions that come from Al-
bertans; they don’t want solutions that are
top down. They want a government that
works with them in partnership. People
are tired of some of the changes that have
been coming at them from the top basi-
cally.”
As for ongoing plans over the Michener
Centre closure, Prentice said he has spo-
ken with family members. “I am sensitive
to what they are saying.”
He added that he wasn’t part of the de-
cision-making process to close the facility
but would like to talk more with families
and representatives of the families to learn
more about the diffi cult circumstances
they are facing. “Once I’ve done that, and
once I have the facts, and have met respect-
fully with some of the families who are af-
fected by this, I will say more about it.”
In 2004, Prentice was elected as the
Member of Parliament for Calgary North
Centre and was re-elected in 2006 and 2008.
During his stint in Ottawa, he held cabinet
positions in a range of portfolios including
Industry, Environment, and Indian Affairs
and Northern Development.
After leaving federal politics, he later
took on the posts of vice-chair and execu-
tive vice-president of CIBC. He announced
his bid for provincial Tory leadership last
month. This fall’s leadership election was
prompted by former Premier Alison Red-
ford’s resignation in March.

The annual Mayor’s Garden Party re-
turns on June 25th from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in
City Hall Park.
In the event of poor weather, the festivi-
ties will take place at Festival Hall.
“The garden party is our primary an-
nual opportunity to honour senior citizens
for all they have done to make Red Deer a
better place,” said Mayor Tara Veer.
The party was historically thrown to cel-
ebrate seniors of the community, however
all members of the public are welcome to
attend.
“Seniors are an essential part of a popu-
lation, so I’m looking forward to the oppor-
tunity to honour them and to spend quality
time with the seniors who attend that day,”
said Veer.
She adds, “The more, the merrier!”
Veer describes the garden party as a
launch to many of the festivals and events
that are upcoming through the summer
months as well.
“It’s a great opportunity to meet the
mayor and council and to come by and say
hello,” Veer said. “I deeply appreciate the
opportunity to be in regular contact and
communication with my citizens, to be
able to talk to them both formally and in-
formally about their issues, concerns and
ideas for the great community in which we
live.”
The garden party serves as a chance for
the people of Red Deer to come together
over an afternoon of live musical enter-
tainment, refreshments and Victorian era
decor. Hosts and hostesses are dressed in
period style attire.
There will also be an artist painting in
the midst of the event, as well as live musi-
cal entertainers.
“I think my greatest hope and expecta-
tion would be that not only would we have
a strong senior citizen presence, but that
members of the public feel very welcome
to attend and to come by.”
PROUD WALK – The Relay For Life kicked off this past Friday evening with the annual survivor’s lap. Cancer survivors Hilda Baergen, George Halisky and Irene Janzen walked the lap together.

POLICE BRIEFS by Erin Fawcett
MEN ARRESTED FOR FRAUD
RCMP have arrested two men for fraud and are seek-ing their female accomplice.
On June 10th staff at Red Deer’s north RBC Royal Bank called RCMP to report a fraud in progress when a woman attempted to with-draw money from a client account using fake identifi -cation.

RCMP is seeking public as-sistance to locate the female suspect. She is described as Caucasian, 5’7” tall with scraggly red/brown hair and a wrinkled face. She speaks with a strong French accent and is probably from Montre-al. She may be driving a rent-al car which is described as a Kia Forte with the license plate ‘K27108’.
Her accomplices, Junior Kabange, 27, and Darsel Nzik-ou, 27, both of Montreal, are charged with 12 counts each, including fraud over $5,000, numerous charges of iden-tity theft and traffi cking in

On June 12th at 11:40 p.m. Sylvan Lake RCMP were dis-patched to a motor vehicle collision on Hwy. 20 at the Aspelund Rd. intersection. The investigation has shown that a northbound Porsche travelling at a high rate of speed rear-ended a north-bound Volkswagen, causing the Volkswagen to spin out of control into oncoming

Two men face a number of charges after a crime spree in Central Alberta.
On June 5th at 7:32 p.m., Innisfail RCMP responded to a report of an attempted rob-bery at a campground locat-ed 10 kms west of Innisfail. It was reported that two males drove into the campground in a Dodge pickup.
The vehicle stopped in front of one of the RV lots, and the driver got out and began demanding property from the lone occupant of the site.

The RCMP investigation revealed the victim and the suspect were known to each other and the stabbing had occurred during a fi stfi ght involving a number of people at the corner of 39 St. and 40 Ave. just before 1:30 a.m.
The suspect fl ed the area on foot; the RCMP investi-gation led RCMP to a resi-dence downtown, resulting in a street closure in the area of Ross St. and Gaetz Ave. between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. The suspect was not located there, but was arrested at 9:30 a.m. the same day at a residence in the area of 50 Ave. and 50 St.
The victim was taken to Red Deer Regional Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Victor L’Hirondelle, 18, has been charged with aggra-vated assault, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and two counts of fail-ing to comply with probation.

COMMUNITYPROGRAMS
BY KALISHA MENDONSARed Deer Express
This year, National Ab-
original Day will kick off
six days of celebration and
recognition in Central Al-
berta.
“These events are impor-
tant because they are an
acknowledgement of our
heritage as the fi rst peoples
of Canada,” said Raye St.
Denys, executive director
at Shining Mountain and
president of the Métis Lo-
cal.
National Aboriginal Day
is a day to recognize the
signifi cance of culture and
achievement for First Na-
tions, Métis and Inuit peo-
ples.
The event to commemo-
rate National Aboriginal
Day, June 21st, will take
place at the Iron Ridge Ju-
nior Campus in Blackfalds.
A tipi will be raised at dawn
to signify the beginning of
the celebration.
At 1 p.m. there will be
prayers, an honour song
and a proclamation read-
ing. The proclamation
serves as recognition of
heritage and emphasizes
the signifi cance of Nation-
al Aboriginal Day as a cel-
ebration of culture.
This is the fi rst time
the National Aboriginal
Day event will take place
in Blackfalds. Due to last
year’s severe fl ooding, cel-
ebrations were withheld
as any suitable venue still
had “Inches of water ev-
erywhere,” said St. Denys.
Without last year’s celebra-
tions, spirits are high for
the upcoming events.
“I’m looking forward to
having this in Blackfalds. I
have my family here to en-
joy the day with,” said St.
Denys.
She said this year is im-
portant because the Ab-
original community in the
surrounding area has a
chance to celebrate close to
home.
There will be displays,
games, performances, mu-
sic and cake until 6 p.m.
June 24th marks a signif-
icant Métis holiday - Jean
Baptiste Day.
The events for this day
will take place in Rotary
Picnic Park in Red Deer
from noon until 6 p.m. Ac-
tivities to celebrate include
First Nations, Inuit and
Métis stories, songs and
dances.
At 6:30 p.m., the Fourth
Annual Turtle Awards will
take place at the Golden
Circle.
The Turtle Awards are
designed to recognize infl u-
ential and signifi cant mem-
bers of Aboriginal commu-
nities. These awards are
meant to bring to light the
achievements of commu-
nity members, recognize
those who maintain tradi-
tional practices and even
feature a lifetime achieve-
ment award.
St. Denys describes the
Jean-Baptiste Day event as
a smaller celebration than
June 21st, and explained
that it is more of a celebra-
tion of Métis heritage than
of other Aboriginal groups.
She added that a delicious
Aboriginal treat called ban-
nock will be served on both
National Aboriginal Day
and Jean-Baptiste Day cel-
ebrations.
June 25th and 26th will
have open houses at vari-
ous Aboriginal organiza-
tions.
Canada’s Multicultural
Day falls on June 27th. This
day serves as a day for all
Canadians to embrace their
heritage and to express dif-
ferent values of culture in
the nation. This day will
be celebrated on the Ross
Street Patio in Red Deer
from 5 to 8 p.m. If weather
is poor, performances will
be moved indoors to The
Hub on Ross.
“We’ve always had fun.
The drums and fi ddles and
music speaks to us,” said
St. Denys of the Aboriginal
Day celebrations and the
subsequent week’s activi-
ties.
“It’s so good to be gath-
ered together. All of the
events are free, so we just
hope everyone comes out
to be a part of this commu-
nity.”
Celebrations lined up for National Aboriginal Day
“THESE EVENTS ARE IMPORTANT
BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF OUR HERITAGE AS
THE FIRST PEOPLES OF CANADA.”

MEASLES OUTBREAK DECLARED OVER Measles disease activity in both the Cen-
tral and Calgary Zones of Alberta Health Services (AHS) has decreased to such an ex-
tent as to meet criteria necessary to lift the measles outbreak.
As such, AHS has declared this measles outbreak over in the Central and Calgary Zones of AHS.
AHS will no longer offer an early addi-tional dose of measles vaccine to infants six months of age to less than 12 months of age who are living in or travelling to the Central or Calgary Zones of AHS.
Albertans uncertain about their immuni-zation history, or their child’s immunization history, are reminded to contact their local public health offi ce or Health Link Alberta (1-866-408-5465) to discuss immunization needs.
RDC OFFERS NEW BUSINESS PROGRAM
Red Deer College plans to offer classes in the International Business Graduate Cer-tifi cate program starting in September. This Graduate Certifi cate is the fi rst credential of its kind offered at any college in Alberta.
Recognizing Alberta’s position in the glob-al economy as an export province, within an export nation, the College is primed to use global industry experts to teach students and help businesses take advantage of opportu-nities around the world.
“RDC’s Donald School of Business is stra-tegically located in downtown Red Deer to connect business leaders of today with com-munity and world leaders of tomorrow. By adding this new program, the College contin-ues to demonstrate how we respond to busi-ness demand for relevant programs in our region and our world,” says Joel Ward, RDC president and CEO.
Courses combine online learning and col-laboration with classroom executive week-ends. As a fi nal project, students will develop and present an International Business Expan-sion Plan to a Canadian company with aspira-tions to grow globally.
MURPHY RETIRES FROM YOUTH CENTRE
David Murphy, executive director of the Youth and Volunteer Centre of Red Deer, has announced his retirement effective June 20th. Janet Whitesell, board chair, recog-nized the valued contributions Murphy has made to the organization over the past 10 years.
“David has been crucial in positioning the agency for all the successes we have been experiencing lately including the Celebrity Dance Off and Weekend Warrior projects.
“David’s leadership has allowed the agen-cy to increase the number of children and youth impacted by our programs, foster huge amounts of community support and develop a strong board focused on governance.”
“It has been amazing, working to provide great programs and supports for children and youth in our community. I am grateful for the opportunity and so proud of what we have accomplished by working together. Our dedicated volunteers, incredible staff and the amazing support from the community have made this a great experience,” said Murphy.
The board will undertake a comprehensive
search process to identify its next ED.The community is invited to an open house
at the Centre (4633 49 St.) on June 19th from 3 to 6 p.m. to share memories with Mur-phy and offer him best wishes.

RESULTS OF PAMZ TESTING CLINICThe Parkland Airshed Management Zone
(PAMZ), in partnership with NOVA Chemicals, the City of Red Deer, Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development and Parkland Mall held a free vehicle emissions testing clinic in Red Deer earlier this month at Parkland Mall.
Sixty-one vehicles were tested. Of these vehicles there were three failures, one failed to pass the test for CO (carbon monoxide) and two failed to pass the hydrocarbon test.
In addition, two motorcycles were tested. Although there are no established emission standards for motorcycles, they both had high levels in carbon monoxide and hydrocar-bons. The highest calculated carbon dioxide (CO2) production by a vehicle was 52 tonnes per year. This compares to last year where the highest calculated CO2 was 262 tonnes, where a driver claimed to be using 1,000 li-tres of gas per week.
The majority of vehicles that passed the emissions test can be attributed to being new model cars and good maintenance on the part of the owners.
*Quality vehicles all independently inspected and reconditioned -View the complete inspection and repair reports for each vehicle on our inventory page.

Gospel music fans will soon
be streaming to the Centrium to
hear some of the fi nest artists in
the genre today. The Gospel Mu-
sic Celebration runs July 10-12th.
Events will be held at the Cen-
trium, kicking off Thursday. The
box offi ce opens at 4 p.m. as does
the exhibit hall, with celebration
concerts running from 6 to 11 p.m.
Featured performers this year
include Young St. Vocal Band, Ro-
set, Double Portion, The Browns,
Potters Clay, Southern Quartet.
The Banksons, the Watchman
Four Quartet, the Singing Hills,
The Mark Trammell Quartet,
Booth Brothers and Legacy V.
Other groups set to hit the
stage include the Old Paths Quar-
tet, the Southmen Quartet and
Greater Vision.
Concerts on Friday and Satur-
day evenings begin at 6 p.m. as
well.
Other highlights include Show-
case Spectacular with Jubilee III
– Christmas in July on July 11th
at 1 p.m. in the Centrium. This
special event will feature Greater
Vision, Booth Brothers and Leg-
acy V. The guys have all joined
forces with a Christmas CD as
well, and audiences will get a
sampling of what that particular
project holds.
Another Showcase Spectacu-
lar runs July 12th at 1 p.m. with
The Triumphant Quartet in the
Centrium as well. Tickets are re-
quired for both Showcase Spec-
taculars in particular as well.
Morning chapel runs Friday
and Saturday mornings at 9:30
a.m. with Leon Throness in the
Parkland Pavilion.
With their warm, easy voices,
the Booth Brothers have been
sharing their faith and their mu-
sic fulltime since 1998. These men
get their infl uences from a range
of performers - from the Eagles
to the Gatlin Brothers to gospel
greats such as Bill Gaither and
Mosie Lister.
Ronnie and Michael Booth
grew up with the sound of music
in their home. Raised in Tampa,
Florida, their father, Ron Sr.,
sang in gospel groups, including
the Rebels Quartet. Ronnie and
Michael began traveling with
their father as the Booth Broth-
ers in 1990.
In 1998, Ron Sr. retired from
the stage so Ronnie and Michael
began looking for a new singing
partner. They had several sing-
ers come through the group, but
most recently teamed up with Jim
Brady, formerly of The Schulers.
The newest ‘Booth Brother’
actually had his fi rst gig with the
brothers at a Gaither event. “We
didn’t even have a chance to re-
ally practice,” Ronnie says with
a laugh. “We just met him at the
event. We ran through a couple
of things and then we went on
stage!”
But the combination worked
and Brady has become an inte-
gral part of the trio.
The Booth Brothers’ dedica-
tion to the music they love has
rewarded them with multiple
awards and recognitions. In-
cluded among these are Trio of
the Year, Male Group of the Year,
Best Live Performer of the Year,
Song of the Year and various oth-
er honors.
Known for their heartfelt sin-
cerity, family harmonies, original
songs and great sense of humor,
the Singing Hills inspire their au-
diences through their personal,
up-close presentation. They have
recorded over a dozen albums
and made numerous television
appearances.
Each year thousands of people
attend the Singing Hills’ concerts
and appreciate their ability to
communicate the gospel message
to all ages.
The group consists of Roger
and Patti Hill, three of their four
daughters, Kari, Kelli, and Kim
and Kim’s husband Kevin Elias.
Another audience favourite is
the well-known group Legacy V.
When the Legendary Cathedral
Quartet retired in December of
1999, Scott Fowler and Roger Ben-
nett decided to continue the musi-
cal tradition of Southern Gospel
Quartet singing.
Legacy Five was organized and
had their offi cial debut in 2000 in
Atlanta, Georgia.
Today, Matt Fouch sings the
bass, Scott Howard sings the bari-
tone, Fowler sings the lead, Gus
Gaches sings the tenor and Trey
Ivey is the group’s pianist.
Immediately audiences re-
sponded to their four-part har-
mony and their ability to commu-
nicate the message of Christ.
Since the quartet’s formation,
they have established and main-
tained a fi rm place at the top of
Christian music.
Legacy Five has also been fea-
tured on video tapings of the
Gaither and friends Homecoming
Video series, which has sold mil-
lions of copies worldwide.
They have also appeared on In
Touch, with Dr. Charles Stanley,
as well as In Touch Ministries’
sponsored cruises. Legacy Five
is also regulars at Dr. David Jer-
emiah’s Shadow Mountain Com-
munity Church in El Cajon, Cali-
fornia.
Tickets for all performances
are available at www.ticketmas-
ter.ca or by calling 1-855-985-5000.

One reviewer described
Edge of Tomorrow as
Groundhog Day meets
Starship Troopers and, in a
way, that sums it up. But it
is an often impressive, and
quite entertaining, science
fi ction movie.
Tom Cruise plays an
army public relations offi -
cer in the near future who,
against his will, is forced
to join the United Defence
Forces army as they attack
vicious aliens that have
taken over most of Europe.
In an attack on France
reminiscent of the D-Day
landings 70 years ago, he
is killed in a bloody battle
with the aliens. Then he
wakes up back in England
before the attack and goes
through it all again, like
the Bill Murray character
in Groundhog Day. His, at
fi rst, cowardly character
gets killed again and does
it again, and again, getting
a little wiser every time.
Emily Blunt, in an unlikely
role, plays the super war-
rior who helps Cruise learn
his battle moves.
Lots of good special ef-
fects here, and they don’t
overwhelm the characters.
Director Doug Liman, as
he showed with the fi rst
Bourne movie, knows how
to handle action scenes.
The fi lm is relatively in-
telligent, clever, and often
humourous. However, the
camerawork is sometimes
irritating and the repeti-
tion is sometimes unwel-
come too, but they don’t
drag it out. Cruise and
Blunt, despite cumbersome
battle armour, are very
watchable and the romance
is minimal. Fans will ap-
preciate their performanc-
es; this is a fun summer
popcorn movie.
Rating: three deer out of
fi ve.

Tom Cruise meets Groundhog Day
BY KALISHA MENDONSARed Deer Express
A special commemoration
took place last week as First
Nations Elders, students,
various City council mem-
bers and Mayor Tara Veer
came together to announce
the opening of new exhibits
at Fort Normandeau west of
Red Deer.
The exhibit honours the
children who died while
living within residential/
industrial schools – a dark
and cruel system put in
place across Canada many
years ago aimed to assimi-
late First Nations commu-
nities into European Chris-
tian cultures.
“I myself am really
happy. I think it’s a very
appropriate place because
this has become a really
important place for people
to come and do their heal-
ing,” said First Nations El-
der Theresa Larson Jonas-
son, of the Red Deer Native
Friendship Centre.
“With the traditional
sweat lodge here, we’re
seeing and talking to a lot
of people that have expe-
rienced the effects of resi-
dential schools way more
than people imagine.
“That this exhibit is here,
I think is very appropri-
ate.”
Veer read out a procla-
mation of remembrance,
apology and recognition in
honour of the children who
died while a part of the Red
Deer Industrial School,
closed in 1919.
The reading proclaimed,
“To research missing chil-
dren and unmarked burials.
“To commemorate and
remember the children who
attended Indian Residential
Schools in Alberta, and who
died as part of this system,”
added Veer.
Along with these values,
June 13th will be known in
Red Deer as ‘Remember the
Children Day’ in honour of
those young lives lost and the
generations that were affected
by the unjust practices of the
schools.
“It’s such a beautiful
thing to happen. It’s just
going to keep on going
and going, now that we
have lots of community in-
volvement, not only from
First Nations, but from all
peoples coming together,”
said Lynn Jonasson of Safe
Harbour Society and Park-
land Youth Homes and also
a community Elder, who
spoke at the event as well.
Community members
present included a group of
seventh graders who spent
the afternoon with local
Elders learning about resi-
dential schools and their
devastating affects for gen-
erations to come.
Many members of First
Nations groups were also
present, and to each per-
son, the ceremony and
exhibit represented some-
thing different.
For Lyle Keewatin Rich-
ards, the ceremony was
fi lled with emotional war-
rant.
He was instrumental in
the discovery of a mass
grave of residential school
students, after Cree Elder
Albert Lightning asked him
to fi nd his younger brother
who had died in 1919 and
was eventually found bur-
ied in an unmarked grave
with three other children.
“He basically started this
for me. Not only did I fi nd
his brother but I found the
rest of them.
“That’s where this start-
ed, and now this is where it
comes together today,” said
Keewatin Richards.
“It’s hugely emotional
and I didn’t realize it would
be - especially with the kids
here,” he said.
“To me, these kids are
here and learning, but
they get to go home. And
those kids (of the indus-
trial school) didn’t get to go
home.”
The exhibit includes
both indoor and outdoor
portions.
The outdoor consists of a
telescope showing citizens
where the old industrial
school stood, with informa-
tion boards placed near the
site.
The indoors offers a
glance at aboriginal culture
and lifestyle and is laid out
in an interactive format.

On June 21st, I will ride my
bicycle 400km to raise directed
funds for cancer research. We
will ride from Kelowna at 2:30
a.m. and arrive in Delta near Van-
couver at around 10 p.m.
I will get to ride alongside
people that have, or have had
cancer. Beside doctors that have
saved lives, and who are involved
in cutting-edge research to make
a real difference.
I have heard stories of people
donating bone marrow and sav-
ing someone’s life - two people
that will never meet, but who
have totally changed one anoth-
er’s life. You just never know.
There are so many ways you
can make a difference to a person
you may never meet. In addition
to donating to a cause like this,
you could donate blood.
I do, and it’s pretty easy! It
doesn’t take long and it’s good for
you. Just call 1-888-2-DONATE.
On Sunday, our Rotary Club
hosted a Father’s Day Run - with
funds going to the world-wide
eradication of polio effort. Such
an easy win! Rotary clubs all over
the world are gathering funds to
work diligently to end polio. So
easy to save lives!
Then we come to your own life
- how about saving that one too?
By choosing a healthy lifestyle of
eating well, exercising and drink-
ing water more than anything
else, you can save a really impor-
tant life: your own! It can then ex-
tend beyond that, in what I like to
call the ripple effect, because you
never know who you will inspire!
I got fi t in 1998 after getting re-
ally unfi t sitting too much, eating
too much and doing way too little.
At the time, I just wanted to feel
better, get off my medications
and enjoy my life again. I got
fi t. My medications were no lon-
ger required and I did start really
enjoying life again.
I had no idea what all of that
would create next. I quit my ca-
reer in architecture, I opened a
gym, I started racing in triath-
lons, etc. and the ripple effect has
been so profound!
I had the pleasure this weekend
of watching friends and clients
who have dropped 30 to 160lbs
run in the Father’s Day Run. I got
emails all weekend from friends
and clients that had done triath-
lons, body building shows, Spar-
tan races and all sorts of other
cool stuff.
So many people go on and on
about how rotten things are. You
know what: walk away, pick some-
thing, anything and make it better.
Focus on what you WANT in this
life and let what you do not want
drift away and become irrelevant.

John Dillinger, the bank
robber, was once asked
why he robbed banks. He
replied, “That’s where the
money is.” Today, if you
asked infectious disease
experts where Clostridium
diffi cile resides, they would
reply, “It’s in hospitals. It’s
dangerous and can be le-
thal.”
Other experts might
warn that many C diffi cile
infections could be avoided
if North Americans would
stop looking for pills to
treat every complaint.
Rather than seeking pills
they should be following a
healthy dietary lifestyle. In
fact, getting smart could
even save 40 bowel move-
ments a day, and, at times,
a life.
We have millions of bac-
teria living in our large
bowels, usually not mak-
ing war with one another.
Studies show about 3% of
adults and 70% of healthy
infants have C diffi cile in
their intestines.
But when antibiotics are
prescribed to treat pneu-
monia, ear infections, blad-
der or sinus infections,
they often upset the bal-
ance of power between bac-
teria. This allows C diffi cile
to increase and produce a
toxin that causes diarrhea.
The same result would hap-
pen if hunters killed all
the wolves and allowed the
deer to multiply.
Today, there’s increased
likelihood of developing
this infection in hospital if
you are elderly, have a sup-
pressed immune system or
are being treated for a ma-
lignancy.
Several studies show a
link in patients who are
taking proton pump inhibi-
tors (PPIs) such as Nexium,
Losec, Prevacid, Pantoloc,
Pariet and Tecta.
But Dr. Lauren B. Ger-
son, a gastroenterologist at
the California Pacifi c Medi-
cal Center in San Francisco,
says PPIs are often the fi rst
thing doctors give patients
for heartburn. Patients
suffering from infrequent
heartburn don’t need PPIs.
They should fi rst try over-
the-counter remedies such
as Rolaids, Tums, Mylanta
and Maalox.
A report in the Journal
of Pediatric Pharmacol-
ogy claims that 15-20% of
patients receiving antibiot-
ics develop antibiotic diar-
rhea.
Another report from the
Mayo Clinic says that every
year three million North
Americans develop C. dif-
fi cile infections.
Treatment in most cases
is to discontinue the offend-
ing antibiotic. This allows
normal bacteria in the bow-
el to recover and is success-
ful in about 25% of cases.
Or other antibiotics may be
needed in an attempt to kill
C. diffi cile. But in spite of
treatment about 10 to 20%
of patients have recurring
bouts of pain, diarrhea and
skin irritation.
So what do you do if all
treatment fails and C dif-
fi cile results in up to 40
bowel movements daily? As
a last resort some doctors
have resorted to the ‘fecal
transplant’ or more to the
point, the fecal enema.
This approach is not
without controversy.
Fecal donors are usually
parents, spouses, siblings
or relatives and the stools
are tested to rule out hep-
atitis infection, HIV and
screened for parasites and
C diffi cile.
The fi rst fecal enema
was given by a Dr. Thomas
Louie, head of infectious
disease at Foothills Hospi-
tal in Calgary in 1996. Since
that time the procedure has
been carried out in other
countries. Some authori-
ties claim a success rate of
89%.
It appears that critics
may have to stop poo-poo-
ing the idea.
See the web site www.doc-giff.com. For comments email [email protected].
How many would agree to a fecal enema?

For the fi rst time, Red Deer will see a
bachelor auction taking place on June
21st at 7 p.m. at International Beer Haus.
Gents from around town have offered
to take part in order to gather funding for
CentreFest 2014. Women will bid, likely
as part of a group, to win a date with the
lucky bachelor. The dates have been do-
nated by a variety of businesses around
town and are each worth approximately
$200.
“We thought that this would be some-
thing fun and would get a lot of people
out to help bring in the summer,” said
Bachelor Auction Chair Bianca Coates,
who is also the vice-chair of CentreFest.
“We have some younger, some older,
some professionals, some gentlemen in
the oilfi eld but really just kind of some-
thing for everybody.”
The winner can either take the bach-
elor or her own companion on the date.
The point is to have fun while fundrais-
ing. In order for CentreFest to remain a
free event, various fundraising initiatives
are in place.
All proceeds from the auction will be
directly used in CentreFest program-
ming. “We’re encouraging ladies to have
their husbands and boyfriends there after
the actual auction because we’re opening
up the dance fl oor and we want people to
still come out and enjoy the night,” said
CentreFest Chair Jan Penney.
“Get your girlfriends, as many as you
can, come and get a whole table and get
the word out. Don’t just think you and a
girlfriend can come, because it won’t be

The Red Deer College Queens
basketball team will have a king
running things next year in the
ACAC.
Ken King to be exact.
He was named as the Queens’
new head coach earlier this
month, taking over from Mike
Woollard. King spent the last few
years as an assistant coach with
Laurentian University men’s bas-
ketball team in Sudbury.
Prior to joining the Laurentian
Voyageurs, King coached both
male and female players at the
high school and club level in On-
tario. He’s been actively involved
in Ontario’s Talent Identifi cation
and Development Program for
the past fi ve years and continues
to support the development of
young players in the province.
The attraction to the Queens
coaching job was twofold.
“It allows me to teach as well as
coach and the other part is the ath-
letic program at Red Deer College
has a ton of success behind it.”
He said it wasn’t hard to notice
that success garnered by RDC
teams this past year and he says
having that sort of atmosphere
around the campus can only help
motivate this team, encouraging
them to get a piece of the pie.
King says he’s not taking over
the former coach’s program but
instead it’s him becoming a part
of Red Deer College’s program.
“It’s more about the fact that
they supply all the tools to make
the program successful no mat-
ter who is coaching the team and
now it’s my job to come in and use
the tools they’re giving me.”
King says he knows the Queens
have some very talented players
on the current roster and is ready
for the opportunity to help the
Queens move forward.
“It really seemed like they were
close to kind of putting it together
and making the playoffs so essen-
tially the goal is to kind of glue
all those pieces together to fi nish
it off and sneak into the playoffs
in the next few years.”
King feels coming from the
men’s side of the game is going
to be an asset when it comes to
coaching a women’s team.
He got to observe closely some
very successful women’s pro-
grams in Ontario which mirrored
the men’s game in many ways.
“You really see parts of the
men’s game shine through in
those programs,” he says. “I think
a lot of it is about sort of a cul-
ture and the philosophy you come
into it with. You make sure all the
players coming in are willing to
sacrifi ce their bodies and play a
really fast style that brings out
the best qualities of each player.”
He likes the fact he’s stepping
into a league which has some very
good teams and always seems to
be well-represented at any nation-
al championship tournament.
“There’s a lot of quality teams,
a lot of quality coaches and a lot
of quality players so it’s exciting
to be a part of a conference that
has all that,” he says. He has a
modest goal for this year’s edition
of the Queens basketball team -
be competitive every time they
set foot on the court.
“Whether it’s a pre season
game or mid season tournament
or a league game or even a playoff
game. The goal is just to compete
in each one of those games no
matter what the situation.”
King will offi cially arrive at
the College to take things over in
August but he does plan on being
here in July to run an identifi -
cation camp and to get a look at
the Red Deer area. The fi rst few
days of the camp he will work
with College level players and
the remainder of the week will be
dedicated to the annual RDC kids
basketball camp.

SPORTS
BY JIM CLAGGETT Red Deer Express
Sandy Douglas is a huge fan of the Alberta Junior Hock-
ey League and he wants to share his enthusiasm for the
league.
The Lacombe native is testing the waters in his home-
town to see if there’s enough interest to seriously investi-
gate establishing an AJHL franchise in the City.
Douglas feels the community has lost its sports identity
and a junior hockey franchise would solve the issue.
“Ponoka has in my opinion the best rodeo on earth, Red
Deer has got major junior hockey and Olds has got the
AJHL Grizzlies, Bentley has the Generals (senior hockey)
and Lacombe has nothing,” said Douglas.
He agreed there are the high school sports, minor foot-
ball and the Central Alberta Buccaneers which are all
supported but nothing the entire community can stand
behind like an AJHL team.
“It would take a lot of work and a lot of PR,” he said.
“But the hockey team would promote Lacombe and if La-
combe, this beautiful little city of ours, would promote the
hockey team, one would help the other.”
Douglas grew up with the famous Lacombe Rockets
Senior hockey team as a source of pride which made the
community stand out.
So why the AJHL? He points to the bond current teams
in Olds, Okotoks and Camrose have with their fan base and
would love to see a similar connection formed in Lacombe.
“It would take a lot of work and people would really
enjoy it if they gave it a chance and came out to see the
product.”
One of the biggest issues he faces aside from garnering
support for the effort would be landing the right amount
of ice time a junior franchise would need.
Currently Lacombe minor hockey teams are grabbing
ice in nearby communities due to the shortage they face
with the two rinks in the City.
Douglas says he understands this is a huge mountain
to climb but he’s not about to pack it in anytime soon. “I
think a lot of people think I’m a little on the crazy side, I
don’t but I’m not going to give in just because there’s ob-
stacles because with anything good there’s obstacles.”
Douglas says he does have some insight about what
this effort might entail through connections he has in the
league so he’s tackling this with his eyes wide open. “I’m
not doing this just for me,” he said. “I’m serious. If a team
was to be landed for the town I’d be happy to be in the
dressing room just folding towels.”
Is an AJHL franchise right for Lacombe?

In the world of sports,
professional or amateur,
there are moments within
each sport which partici-
pants strive to meet.
Not everyone looks to
achieve these moments
simply because not every-
one has the physical skills
to make it happen.
In football it might be a
long touchdown run from
scrimmage, a deep pass for
six, a punt return or kick-
off which ends in the end
zone or maybe an intercep-
tion or fumble recovery.
In hockey, maybe scoring
the overtime winner on a
breakaway or for a goalie,
posting a shutout.
Basketball players might
want to hit that free throw
or three-pointer to win the
game. For a baseball player
it might be the game win-
ning home run.
The list goes on but you
get the point. All the above
scenarios play out on a
somewhat regular basis
around the world of sport,
some more than others, so
when something rare hap-
pens it should be marveled
at, no matter who accom-
plished it. In the world of
golf, breaking 90, 80, 70 and
for those very few, 60 are
moments to be cherished
and fondly remembered.
Once again, these are
moments which occur on
a somewhat regular basis
and it’s all relative to the
ability of the player but
there is another aspect of
the game which any player
at anytime could be in the
spotlight. The hole in one is
very rare with one article
on the odds of an ace rang-
ing from 3,000 to one for a
tour player to 12,000 to one
for a regular player.
The longer the hole, the
longer the odds of knock-
ing one in from the tee but
you can toss those odds out
the window for Mike and
Noreen Unsworth of Van-
couver. The pair were play-
ing the Fairmont Chateau
Whistler Golf Club ear-
lier this month when Mike
knocked in a seven iron
from 118 yards on hole #10.
Noreen stepped up to the
tee and stroked a rescue
club with the ball stopping
in the hole as well.
The third in the group,
Bobby Shoptra didn’t can
one. The odds of this hap-
pening are 26,000,000 to one
but maybe a little less for
these two. It was ace num-
ber two for Mike. He takes
a back seat to his wife how-
ever. It was the 13th hole in
one for Noreen. It seems
she has that shot in her ar-
senal.

People are always striving for
perfection, we have become a cul-
ture obsessed with a seamless,
shiny life.
We have the money to pay for
goods and services and we expect
the very best, this is reasonable,
isn’t it? Not always, especially in
home design – if you are dealing
with natural products there has
to be some grace for what Mother
Nature has so beautifully made.
When you are working with
natural products such as wood
and stone you will always fi nd
some small variances in these
products.
The manufacturers have done
their best to make them consis-
tent and beautiful but there will
always be some surprises in these
items. The good news is, if you
are expecting cookie cutter per-
fection and consistency, then you
do have options in artifi cial repli-
cations of these items.
If you are choosing hardwood
you can select colours and spe-
cies from showroom samples but
keep in mind that these samples
are months and sometimes years
old and have changed colours
from exposure to light and air.
It is a good idea to actually
order in a box of your desired
hardwood to see the dye lot and
batch that will be going into your
homes.
Hardwood manufacturers have
a tolerance for colour variances
but colour is a very personal
choice and their tolerance may be
outside of what you think is ac-
ceptable.
Also, you can expect to get vari-
ances throughout the product as
some pieces of wood accept stain
differently depending on the
graining and density of the wood.
For those of you wanting close to
perfection I recommend order-
ing an extra few cartons so you
can cull out the offending pieces
and choose what is put into your
home.
We run into this often with nat-
ural stone and granite.
When a product is taken from
the earth it is very diffi cult to
predict the exact tone and colour
that will arrive. As with the hard-
wood, looking at the actual batch
is a very good idea which will
require you to order a carton in
advance.
Natural stone will give you a
beautiful fi nish but the variance
from tile to tile may be far and
wide. There are many tiles on
the market today which replicate
the look of stone giving you a
smoother fi nish and more consis-
tent colour as they are printed or
glazed in a factory.
Reputable granite companies
will offer you your choice of slab
and can give you a computerized
view of what that slab will look
like on your particular counter-
top confi guration. This is espe-
cially important if you are choos-
ing a premium granite with a
larger pattern.
Smaller, repeated patterns of
granite can be installed in multi-
ple directions but the longer, lin-
ear patterns will require specifi c
directions from the consumer.
Seams and patterns do not line
up and if more than one slab is
required for your home they may
not be consistently coloured so it
is a good idea to look at the actual
slab before you order.
While perfection is a wonderful
goal to strive for, it is good to re-
member that when dealing with
natural products you will experi-
ence imperfection.
Our earth produces many
beautiful products that we can
choose for our home but nature is
unpredictable and often the true
beauty is in the uniqueness of the
products.

HOMES & LIVING
So you saved, you house
hunted, you brought your
mortgage professional all
the paperwork they asked
for. You get the call to come
on in and sign the mort-
gage approval and you are
excited and happy.
And then your mortgage
professional shows you
something so horrendous
that you think surely the
theme song from Psycho
should be playing.
What is this terrible aw-
ful you ask? Well my mort-
gage minions I am going to
tell you.
The terrible awful is the
cost of borrowing. Lend-
ers are legally required to
show you just how much
you will pay in actual dol-
lar fi gures for the interest
on your mortgage loan for
each term and this number
can be truly nasty.
Let’s look at a $300,000
mortgage at today’s best
rates.
In the fi rst fi ve years
alone you will pay over
$40,000 in interest.
That’s a lot of moola.
Without boring you with
a series of math equations
you should keep the follow-
ing in mind. If the average
interest rate over the whole
25 years is 4% you will end
up paying $1.60 for each
dollar you have borrowed.
That feels like really great
motivation to take a serious
look at a few techniques to
pay down your mortgage
ASAP.
Pay 15% less in inter-
est – how you ask? Choose
a bi-weekly accelerated
payment frequency. Your
mortgage payment will be
taken from your account
every other week. But wait!
Please keep in mind that
there is a bi-weekly and a
bi-weekly accelerated.
With the regular bi-week-
ly the lender will take the
annual mortgage amount
and divide it by 26 pay-
ments. This is convenient
if you get paid bi-weekly
and want your payments
to come out on the same
schedule. The misconcep-
tion is that choosing the
regular bi-weekly payment
frequency will make you
mortgage-free faster.
The difference with the
accelerated bi-weekly is
that you choose to pay a
slightly higher payment on
every payment. Remember
the extra amount goes di-
rectly to the principle. This
choice reduces your overall
borrowing cost from $1.60
to $1.50 which adds up to
15% less in interest over
the 25-year mortgage. Plus
you get the benefi t of being
mortgage-free three years
earlier.
A buck a day saves you
$6,000. Say what? Your
mortgage debt can feel in-
surmountable to say the
least. If you put $1 extra
each day or $365 a year
you will be mortgage-free
11 months ahead of sched-
ule. Assuming the same
$300,000 mortgage you will
save $6,000 in interest pay-
ments. Small is the new big.
You may not have a
fortune to throw at your
mortgage annually but I
would bet you could round
up your payments? If you
were to round your pay-
ment up from $795 to $800
you would not even notice
that slight change. But if
we use the numbers above
then you are all of a sud-
den on track to pay that
mortgage out way ahead
of schedule which will save
you thousands of dollars in
interest costs and allow you
to celebrate the demise of
your mortgage that much
earlier.
Think outside of the
number fi ve. Most of us
think in fi ve-year incre-
ments when it comes to our
mortgages.
Let’s get crazy for a min-
ute shall we and think out-
side the fi ve-year box. What
if you choose a 24-year term
at the start? That’s already
one year off the mortgage.
And when your mort-
gage comes up for renewal?
What if instead of just sign-
ing, you contact your mort-
gage professional to get you
the best rate, and then take
another year or two off ?
Instead of 20 choose 17 or
18.
Years gone and interest
saved just by indicating a
lower amortization.
Work that variable rate
baby! Historically people
who choose the variable
rate do better over the life
of the mortgage. What
if you chose the variable
rate but set the payment
to match what the fi xed
rate would be on the same
mortgage? The extra goes
directly to principle and
(say it with me) saves you
thousands and gets you
mortgage-free that much
sooner.
Do it! Thinking about
working out or eating bet-
ter will not give you the
same results as exercise
and diet. According to the
Maritz Research Poll only
32% of Canadians use their
pre-payment privileges.
It’s all well and good to
have the intention of being
mortgage-free ASAP but
you need to act. Pick one or
all of the above and start-
ing planning your life after
your mortgage.

Rodeo at Daines ends on a high note
Story and photos by Jenna Swan/Red Deer Express
The 54th Annual Innisfail Professional
Rodeo was held this past weekend at the
Daines Rodeo Grounds.
Professional and amateur cowboys and
cowgirls gathered from across North Amer-
ica and Australia for what was to be one of
the last professional rodeos to be held at the
grounds, as longtime rodeo promoter Jack
Daines announced this would be his last.
Festivities during the event which took
place June 13-15th included a nightly rodeo
dance, a parade through downtown Innisfail,
sheep riding in the early afternoon, followed by
the professional rodeo events. Events included
the bareback bronc, saddle bronc and bull rid-
ing, steer wrestling, barrel racing and calf roping.
Attendees came from far and wide to get a close
view of all the action offered at the Daines Rodeo
Grounds.
Sam Kelts of Millarville took home the champion
title in the saddle bronc riding event after a hearty
ride on the Calgary Stampede’s well-known mare Lynx
Mountain.
Kelts scored an 88 to beat out Kyle Thomson and Dustin
Flundra to take home the $2,170 prize.
The bull riding best score came early in the weekend on
Friday evening when De Winton cowboy Brock Radford
rode an 89.5 performance and won himself the $2,294.
The bareback bronc championship went to Ky Marshall
of Bowden who rode True Grit to win $2,098.
Nate Baldwin out of Idaho came in fi rst place in the tie
down roping evening with an eight second run to win
$2,411. And Laci Suitor of Duchess was the week-
end’s barrel racing winner with a time of 15.877
to take home $2,613.
TAKE DOWN – Brenden Laye of Consort digs his heels in to bring a steer to the ground.
RUNNING JUMP – Wade Landmark of Provost takes a steer to the ground with his horse running closely beside.
ROUND UP Kyle Foden of
Nanton lassoes a calf during
the calf-roping event.
SMOOTH RIDE – Jacob Stemo of Calgary goes for a wild ride on a bronc.
BOLD BRONC Cort Scheer of
Elsmere, Nebraska takes his turn on a
bucking bronc.
