The Penhold Air Cadet

Summer Training Centre

recently held a public open

house to showcase the cadet cours-

es. Aerospace activities, an air

rifl e demo and a sunset ceremony

were all highlighted that evening.

The open house was for the en-

tire camp as there were sea cadets

and army cadets but the majority

of youth there were air cadets.

With hundreds of cadets and

family members on site for the

event there were authority fi g-

ures in the mix. One such person

was Chief Petty Offi cer 2nd Class

Raymond Evans.

Evans has been involved in the

cadets program for six years and

he can testify about how cadets

has the potential to change young

people’s lives. He believes that be-

ing involved with the cadets give

you life skills -- not just skills for

the military.

Evans joined cadets when he

was 13. He was looking for some-

thing to occupy his time and his

parents suggested cadets. He

accepted but admits that shoot-

ing stuff was a big draw for him,

however, cadets started to mean

much more to him.

Evans is currently a Squadron

One offi cer and has 135 cadets un-

der him.

“If you would have told me six

years ago, when I was 13, that I

would be in charge of 135 people,

I would have thought you were

joking,” said Evans.

For him the fi rst year was “all

right” but then he went to sum-

mer camp and that is what really

cemented it for him. He found

that he learned a lot and he met

many amazing people.

It was the summer camps, like

the one he is a leader in now, that

kept him coming back. Evans has

been to camps around the coun-

try. He has been from B.C. to On-

tario to Nova Scotia and has met

many exciting people. He has also

had the privilege of meeting the

Chief of Defense Staff twice.

“Cadets provides you with op-

portunities that you would not

normally get with Boy Scouts or

other youth programs.”

Evans said that cadets will also

help you grow as a person. It is not

just ‘this is fun let’s get our merit

badges.’ This will help a young

person change into a better, more

responsible citizen later on in life.

“Cadets will help you with

things like leadership, and it

teaches you how to carry your-

self,” said Evans. “You also learn

what respect is, how you earn it

and how to give it back. These

skills were non-existent when

I was 13 and shy and new to ca-

dets,” he said. “Cadets has also

defi nitely helped me grow,” he

said. “It has helped me be a leader

to younger people.”

As a leader now, Evans can see

the potential in his cadets and he

tries to help them unlock it. “That

is the goal. The thing with cadets

is what you put into it is what

you will get out. If you want it to

change you it will,” said Evans.

For Evans being a role model

is “a great sense of accomplish-

ment.”

“It feels amazing to inspire kids

to try their hardest and to grow

as people.”

[email protected]

“THE THING WITH CADETS IS WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT IS

WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT. IF YOU WANT IT TO CHANGE

YOU, IT WILL.”

BY ALF CRYDERMANRed Deer Express

Red Deer is fi nally be-

coming part of Alberta’s

ALERT (Alberta Law

Enforcement Response

Team). City council voted

Monday to partner in the

establishment of a regional

Combined Forces Special

Enforcement Unit to fi ght

organized crime in Central

Alberta.

Mayor Morris Flew-

welling welcomed the City

becoming part of the pro-

gram. “We know Red Deer,

because it’s in the Edmon-

ton – Calgary corridor,

is targeted by organized

crime and is targeted by

the illicit drug trade. We

know we need to be on top

of that and this will give us

a leg up for the whole re-

gion.”

Council approved joining

the unit as part of its mid-

year budget review. The

City will contribute half

the cost, up to $150,000, for

providing offi ce space for

the 15-person unit. Three

Red Deer RCMP offi cers

will join the unit to start

and the City will provide

three more, one a year,

over the next three years.

The province will fund the

other nine positions. Coun-

cil was unanimous in sup-

porting the move.

Councillor Tara Veer

said, “Our City is a cen-

tral location for organized

crime and this is an issue

we need to address.” Coun-

cillor Paul Harris added,

“As the only city in Alberta

without ALERT, we need to

be part of the team.”

RCMP Supt. Warren Dos-

ko said the unit, “Will focus

on the most serious crimes

and have the biggest im-

pact on our community, (al-

though) it’s not just a drug

unit. … This is a huge step

forward.”

He noted that many mi-

nor as well as major crimes

are involved with drugs

and organized crime: car

thefts, break-ins and other

crimes are often commit-

ted by people looking for

quick money for drugs. Red

Deer’s central location be-

tween Edmonton and Cal-

gary also is handy for orga-

nized crime that, up until

now, faced ALERT units

in those cities, as well as

Lethbridge, Medicine Hat,

Grande Prairie and Fort

McMurray.

ALERT was incorporat-

ed in 2006 as a non-profi t

corporation to bring to-

gether the province’s most

sophisticated law enforce-

ment resources to tackle

serious and organized

crime. Most of the funding

is provided by the province,

with additional funding by

the Canadian government.

ALERT recently took part

in a major provincial drug

bust. Calgary has 76 people

in its ALERT unit while Ed-

monton has 72.

The philosophy is that

the most urgent crimes,

usually involving drugs

or other organized crime

activities, go beyond mu-

nicipal boundaries and

that approaches to this

must be borderless and use

municipal, provincial and

federal resources. Police

forces need to pool their re-

sources to provide the best

and most cost effective re-

sponse possible.

TRANSIT PREPARES BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATION

Red Deer Transit is pre-paring for the school year with updated school over-load information and the 2012/13 Ride Guide for regu-lar routes.

School overload bro-chures are available at the Sorensen Station Customer Service Centre.

To facilitate students pur-chasing their fi rst passes of the school year, students in Grades 1 to 12 are offered a grace period between 6:15 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5; during these times students may ride without charge to or from school.

Red Deer Transit 2012/13 Ride Guides will also be avail-able at Sorensen Station, Collicutt Centre, Parkland Mall guest services, Red Deer College Students Associa-tion, the Tourism Red Deer offi ce and on board all buses.

And if students want to ride their bikes to school at the start of the year, the newly installed bike lanes may make it easier to pedal to class.

Bike racks are also in-

stalled on the front of all Red Deer buses, so students can bike and ride to school.

Bike lanes have been installed by a number of schools in the City, and do not impact transit drop off and pick up zones.

Red Deer Transit buses can cross into bike lanes to drop off students at desig-nated passenger stops.

For more information visit www.reddeer.ca/transit.

BUSINESS OF THE YEAR TICKETS

The Business of the Year Awards is organized by the Red Deer Chamber of Com-merce and is held annually in conjunction with Small Busi-ness Week.

Each year, the depart-ment also reviews all routes to increase coverage, im-prove service and enhance effi ciency. Transit riders are advised to view new route and schedule information at webmap.reddeer.ca.


Red Deer County and the City of Red Deer

Intermunicipal Development Plan

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

The Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) with the City of Red Deer was adopted in 2007.

Most people have a few

pieces of jewellery that

they haven’t worn in years

or that they just don’t care

for; now is the time to give

them a new home.

Tools For Schools Africa

Foundation (TFSAF) is

holding an event on Sept.

27th where people can en-

joy wine, chocolate, des-

sert, door prizes and a wide

arrangement of jewellery.

Marilyn Pottage, chair of

the board for TFSAF, said

the point of the event was

to fi nd a way to continue

to support the scholarship

funds they provide.

“We have a group of men-

tors in all of the schools in

northern Ghana watch-

ing for girls who are very

strong academically and

have strong character and

leadership skills, but have

no other way to continue

in school unless they get

fi nancial aid,” said Pottage.

She said the money raised

will go towards educating

the girls, keeping them in

school and providing post-

secondary opportunities.

The program has helped

four girls get into universi-

ty. This fall will see 13 more

apply. “When the program

started the number of girls

with a high school educa-

tion was very low. If we can

get the number up the com-

munities see greater eco-

nomic development, better

health care and a better

democratic system too.”

She said while this pro-

gram specifi cally looks at

the girls needing the fi nan-

cial aid to continue educa-

tion, Tools for Schools does

provide help to boys as well.

The initial goal of the

project was to improve the

standard of living by in-

creasing the access to post-

primary education. “In

2010 we even built a board-

ing house for girls so the

girls coming from the rural

areas could come in and

stay there to go to school.”

The project got its start

in 2003 and has grown since

then to help about 60 girls

at a time. They are all from

the northern region of

Ghana. Pottage said they

also went so far as to pub-

lish a book called 9 Degrees

North, which included facts

about northern Ghana,

which lies nine degrees

north of the equator. “The

idea was to provide a book

the students could read

about their own area.

“The girls are all such

gems, and that’s part of

why we called the event

Shine!”

Tickets are $35 or a fi ve-

pack for $150. People un-

able to attend but who

would like to help are invit-

ed to take their unwanted

costume or real jewellery

to Artistry in Gold at 5001

– 50 St. by the fi rst week of

September.

“We have had celebrities

donate items including a

signed picture from John

Travolta, a bracelet made

in Uganda from Alison Red-

ford and much more.”

OPINION

The other day I watched

a DVD about a courageous

young woman who, during

the horrors of the Second

World War, helped rescue

more than 2,500 Jewish

children from the German-

occupied Warsaw ghettos.

Irena Sendler, who

passed away in 2008 at

the age of 93, was a social

worker at the time. She

helped to organize a system

of providing the children

with false identity docu-

ments and transporting

them to homes where they

would be safe. She and her

co-workers also buried lists

of the hidden children in

jars in order to keep track

of their original and new

identities. The plan was

that, when the war was

over, they would be re-

turned to Jewish relatives.

According to the web site

History’s Heroes, from the

outbreak of the war, Send-

ler was always concerned

about the plight of the Jew-

ish people. She risked her

life by giving them food

and shelter. At the time of

the creation of the Warsaw

Ghetto, she was working

for the city’s health depart-

ment as a nurse and social

worker. “Sendler organized

and directed a children’s

rescue group amongst her

colleagues, to smuggle Jew-

ish children from the Ghet-

to. The task was momen-

tous. Behind the high walls

enclosing the Ghetto, the

people were packed togeth-

er in appalling conditions.

They smuggled out the

children in many ingenious

ways (in tool boxes, in cof-

fi ns, through churches and

cellars) and arranged for

them to be taken to emer-

gency safe houses.”

The risk of execution

was always a reality, but

it never deterred Sendler

from boldly moving for-

ward with her mission.

Eventually, the Nazis did

learn about her efforts, and

she was arrested in 1943.

She was tortured and sen-

tenced to death.

According to History’s

Heroes, during her interro-

gation, they broke her legs

and feet but she refused to

reveal any names. “On the

way to her execution she

escaped, with the help of

friends, and went into hid-

ing.”

Watching the fi lm, (The

Courageous Heart of Irena

Sendler), I was struck by

the bravery of Sendler. In

spite of unimaginable sur-

roundings when people

lived in constant fear for

their lives, she pressed on

with a single-minded com-

mitment and devotion to

her cause. For Sendler,

there simply was no other

choice – these children

needed to be rescued and

that was that. In spite of

the reality that such work

could cost her her own life,

she didn’t waver.

It’s always inspiring to

learn of such people down

through history, and obvi-

ously there were many like

her during those years who

put their own lives on the

line in their struggles to

help others.

When the war was over

Sendler passed the list of

the children’s names to

the Central Committee of

Jews in Poland. Sadly, most

of their parents had been

murdered in the Treblinka

death camp, where approx-

imately 777,000 people were

transported. The list was

taken to Israel where it was

copied many times.

After the war, Sendler

went on to live ‘an ordinary

life’. Clearly, her life and

her profoundly moving leg-

acy were anything but ordi-

nary. And like a true hero,

Sendler even indicated that

she didn’t feel like she did

enough. Neither did she

wish for any acclaim.

She was honoured, how-

ever, but she had to wait

a long time to collect an

award given to her by the

Yad Vashem Holocaust me-

morial in Jerusalem. She

was one of the fi rst to be

given the ‘Righteous Gen-

tiles’ honour for wartime

heroics, in 1964. The Com-

munist regime in Poland

would not give her a pass-

port and she had to wait

until 1984 to collect it.

And as mentioned, amaz-

ingly, in spite of her efforts

to help others, she some-

how felt she should have

done more. Such an atti-

tude, when considering the

difference she made in so

many lives, is hard to un-

derstand. But it offers us a

closer look into the heart of

an amazing human being.

“I continue,” she said,

“To have pangs of con-

science that I did so little.”

Offering summer ‘support’

Humanitarian’s legacy of inspiration remains strong

With the summer months, it’s easy to

get caught up in the spirit of entertaining

oneself, dropping the scheduling when

vacation times rolls around and just mak-

ing every effort to soak up the sun and

heat – an all too brief experience for Cen-

tral Albertans.

Certainly nothing wrong with that,

particularly in a climate where the bulk

of the year is spent in less than ideal tem-

peratures and weather conditions.

But while vacations are planned and

enjoyed, of course, the issues and de-

mands of life carry on as per usual. That

includes local organizations who must

continue to fundraise and rely on the pub-

lic’s generosity in order to carry on their

missions and mandates. The need also ex-

tends to volunteer support as well.

For example, Canadian Blood Services

has pointed out that the summer months

can be a challenging time – people’s do-

nation routines which are usually fi rmly

established in the colder months can get a

bit lost in the shuffl e of summer’s list of

holiday plans and activities.

But that doesn’t mean the need for

blood drops.

According to CBS, approximately every

minute of every day, someone in Canada

needs blood. In fact, according to a recent

poll, 52% of Canadians say they, or a fam-

ily member, have needed blood or blood

products for surgery or for medical treat-

ment. The call is out – as it is year-round

– for a consistent supply of donors to keep

dropping by even when the temperatures

soar. Before summer kicks in, back in

June, the organization sets aside a week

to get the word out – and works to keep

that message connecting with the public

all summer.

Other organizations that can be affect-

ed in the summer months are food banks.

As with blood donations, the need doesn’t

drop off depending on the time of year.

It’s important that we as a community re-

member to lend a helping hand. It’s awful

to think that there are many families and

individuals in our midst who continue to

struggle to simply put food on the table.

As with the demand for blood dona-

tions, if more people would take the time

to give, these organizations could go about

their work without the stress of wonder-

ing how to further stretch their resourc-

es. It’s really about everybody doing their

part – no matter how small it might seem

to be.

There is no doubt of the solid support

that is offered by Red Deerians through

the year. Time and again, we in the me-

dia hear offi cials in the non-profi t sector

praise the public for their help. It’s an in-

spiring thing to know, and something that

certainly defi nes the nature of this com-

munity – and hopefully continues to de-

fi ne it – no matter what time of year it is.

Your feet feel filled with Novocain or too heavy to carry.During the day you can hardly walk and every step sends shooting pain like lightning from your toes and up your legs up almost to your knees. At night even the sheet feels to heavy, your feet burn and you are losing sleep or can only sleep with danger-ous drugs.You have numbness in your feet so bad that you can’t feel your feet very well and may even have noticeable balance problems.

I was on 4 medications for my pain and 3 more medications because of the side effects of the pain drugs. I had no hope. Now after 2 weeks, I am sleeping better, the pain in my foot is less than half and the burning is gone. I am very excited and would recommend Dr. Polzintoany one who is suffering with pain.”- Debra S. Bellevue, WA.

“The treatment that I have been receiving has been life altering. I had no idea what the real cause of my pain or even how bad it was because I was tak-ing drugs daily. After only a few treatments the left leg pain is completely GONE. I can bend over to pick up my son and I am FEELING GREAT!”- Mark B, Redmond, WA

BY ALF CRYDERMANRed Deer Express

Red Deer’s fi nances are

right where they should be

when it comes to its annu-

al budget, as City council

learned on Monday during

its fi rst ever mid-year bud-

get review. City Manager

Craig Curtis, summing

up the 2012 budget year

so far, says except for one

higher than expected col-

lective agreement (for the

RCMP) everything is basi-

cally going as planned and

the City’s annual budget is

showing a slight surplus.

“We’re in good shape go-

ing forward,” said Mayor

Morris Flewwelling. “This

is something new for us.

At this time of the year all

the various departments

are looking at their 2013

budgets anyway, so it’s a

wonderful opportunity for

council to reconnect with

the realities of the budget-

ing process.

“Setting the budget is

one of the four key things

that council does and this

is a good time to look back

and look ahead. However,

we have to guard the agen-

da very carefully.”

Council sets the City’s

annual budget in January.

However, council took

time during the review to

approve several items, the

cost of which varied be-

tween the 2012 budget and

the still to be set 2013 bud-

get. For example, council

approved $20,000 for the

2013 Special Olympics Al-

berta Spring Games (host-

ed by Red Deer) from the

2012 budget, and approved

$173,000 for a 2013 City cen-

sus to be funded in the 2013

budget.

Council also approved

$70,000 to purchase an ad-

ditional Action Bus plus

annual operating costs

of $106,000, to answer in-

creased demands for handi-

capped bus services.

However, council turned

down a request for an ad-

ditional conventional bus

at a cost of $445,000, putting

it off until the 2013 budget.

Other funding issues in-

volved approving $3,820 to

reopen the Fairview skat-

ing rink, but council de-

clined a request to resume

30-minute bus service after

10:45 p.m. (despite a peti-

tion with almost 500 signa-

tures). Cutting that funding

from the 2012 budget result-

ed in savings of $160,000.

Council also learned that

a 2012 budget addition of

$475,000 to the City’s pre-

ventative roadway mainte-

nance repaired over 14,000

potholes on City roads,

compared to an annual av-

erage of 4,000 to 5,000 re-

pairs.

Councillor Frank Wong

said, “This is the fi rst time

we’ve done this. Yes, it’s a

good idea to see where we

are, but I don’t like this

bringing in (new) items to

be approved. Some people

think they can get issues

on (the agenda) but I don’t

think we should do that.

We’re going to spend a little

more.”

Provincial health offi -

cials have announced Al-

berta’s fi rst confi rmed case

of West Nile virus since

2010.

“This individual has not

traveled outside of Alberta

this season, meaning she

was bitten by an infected

mosquito right here in our

province,” said Dr. David

Strong, Alberta Health

Services’ acting south zone

medical offi cer of health.

“This is an unfortunate

reminder that some mos-

quitoes do carry West Nile

virus, so it’s simply best to

avoid being bitten at all.”

Due to patient confi den-

tiality legislation, AHS will

not be releasing further in-

formation about this West

Nile virus case except that

the woman is under 65 and

lives in southern Alberta.

West Nile virus is a

mosquito-borne virus that

can cause West Nile Non-

Neurological Syndrome

(formerly known as West

Nile fever). Occasionally

it can cause the more seri-

ous West Nile Neurological

Syndrome. West Nile virus

was fi rst isolated in 1937

in the West Nile district of

Uganda.

Since then, there have

been outbreaks in Egypt,

Israel, South Africa, and in

parts of Europe, Asia and

North America.

Whether gardening, golf-

ing, fi shing or even just

relaxing outdoors, there

are several tips Albertans

should follow, including

applying mosquito repel-

lent with DEET, wearing

long-sleeved, light-colored

shirts and pants and wear-

ing hats as well.

Folks should also consid-

er staying indoors at dawn

and dusk when mosquitoes

are most active, he said.

“These steps can make it

harder for mosquitoes to

fi nd you – and, remember:

if they can’t fi nd you, they

can’t bite you.”

Offi cials say there are 44

species of mosquitoes in

Alberta and that of these,

the Culex tarsalis has been

identifi ed as the species

most likely to carry and

transmit the virus from

infected birds to people

and horses. The breeding

season of the Culex tarsa-

lis runs from mid-June to

September. The risk of con-

tracting West Nile virus in-

creases during this period

and peaks during August.

Some people who become

infected with non-neuro-

logical syndrome show no

symptoms at all. However,

symptoms that could occur

can include fever, chills,

nausea, vomiting, fatigue,

skin rash, swollen glands

and headache.

For the small number of

individuals who do develop

the neurological syndrome,

infection can lead to trem-

ors, drowsiness, confusion,

swallowing problems, high

fever, unconsciousness, pa-

ralysis and even death.

As of Aug. 11, 34 human

cases of West Nile virus in-

fection have been reported

in Canada (not including

Alberta’s fi rst case). Last

year, 102 cases of West Nile

virus were confi rmed in

Canada.

Looking back, 2007 saw

quite a high incidence rate

across the prairies which

did include some travel-re-

lated cases – 320 in Alberta,

1,456 in Saskatchewan and

587 in Manitoba.

MUNICIPAL PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS

PUBLIC NOTICES

Cronquist House centennial

Michael

D A W E

This year marks the

100th anniversary of one

of the most picturesque

landmarks in Red Deer. In

1912, Emanuel Pettersson

Cronquist built a beautiful

three-story brick mansion,

which stood in West Park

Estates, but is now located

at Bower Ponds.

Emanuel Pettersson was

born in Sweden on April

10, 1854. He became a suc-

cessful merchant. On Feb.

6, 1886, he married Hilda

Carlsdater in Varmland,

Sweden. Over the next

seven years, they had four

children, three boys and

one daughter.

Emanuel was ambitious.

In May 1892, he went to

western Canada to look for

opportunities. He returned

in July 1893 with his family

to settle on a homestead in

the Burnt Lake district.

Tragedy struck when

two sons passed away on

the trip to Canada. Despite

the blow, the family began

the work of starting their

farm and creating a home.

Initially, they lived in a

one-room log house, with

a sod roof. As they became

more established, they

were able to build a two-

storey addition. The family

grew as well with two more

sons being born. Because

there was another Petters-

son family in the district,

the mail often got mixed

up. Emanuel added the

surname Cronquist after

Pettersson to end the con-

fusion. As Emanuel con-

tinued to build up his farm,

he became a skilled trader

in livestock, particularly

cattle, horses and sheep. He

also assisted other Swedish

immigrants to settle in the

area. In the fall of 1901, the

Cronquists bought land on

the southwest side of Red

Deer, in what is now West

Park. This became their

new home. Over the years,

the Cronquists acquired

more quarters of land, un-

til they were farming near-

ly 800 acres.

In 1902, Emanuel Cron-

quist branched into new

businesses. He opened a

sandstone quarry on the

south bank of the river.

He subsequently supplied

building stone across Cen-

tral Alberta.

With his farming and

livestock operations, ex-

panding business interests,

and skillful investments in

real estate, Emanuel found

himself to be a wealthy

man. Consequently, he de-

cided to build an impres-

sive new home.

The site he picked was

chosen to maximize its

visibility. It stood near the

high riverbank, so that the

house could be seen across

the Red Deer valley. It was

also located next to the old

Calgary-Edmonton Trail

(now part of 43 St.) so that

travelers would notice it as

they passed by. Initially, it

was estimated the house

would cost $8,000. However,

by the time it was fi nished

in the fall of 1912, the price

had risen to $10,000. To put

that number into perspec-

tive, at the time, two dollars

per day was considered a

good wage.

After the First World War,

the Cronquists became

more active in community

affairs. They became active

with the United Farmers

of Alberta, the Elks Lodge

and the Freemasons.

In September 1924,

Emanuel passed away at

the age of 70. Three weeks

later, his son Holger died

of typhoid fever. Another

son David passed away in

1941 at the age of 45. Hilda

passed away in 1942 at near-

ly 90 years of age. Hannah,

the only daughter in the

family, passed away in 1969.

When Elias, the last sur-

viving member of the origi-

nal family, passed away in

June 1974, the grand house

stood vacant for some time.

The house was eventual-

ly acquired by the Red Deer

International Folk Festival

Society (now the Red Deer

Cultural Heritage Society).

In March 1976, the house

was moved across the river

to Bower Ponds. Over the

years, the Society worked

to restore the house to its

original glory. On Aug. 16,

1982, the Cronquist House

was designated as the fi rst

Municipal Historic Re-

source in the Province of

Alberta.

On Aug. 26 from 1 to 4

p.m., the Cultural Heritage

Society will be celebrating

the centennial of the Cron-

quist House. Phone 403-346-

0055 for more information.

steampunk swing’, Punch Drunk

Cabaret is gearing up for a per-

formance at the upcoming Al-

berta’s Own Indie Music Festival.

The event runs Aug. 24-26 at La-

combe’s Michener Park.

Randy Bailer, who used to front

another group called Screwtape

Lewis, is thrilled with the unique

nature of the relatively new

group and its superb reception.

Having released their self-titled

debut disc early this year, Punch

Drunk Cabaret is being featured

weekly on CKUA’s Untapped se-

ries, and has also been selected to

perform at Alberta Touring Alli-

ance’s Showcase this October.

“I feel that any act has an ex-

piry date,” he said of the ground-

breaking Screwtape Lewis, which

had been on the scene for 10 years.

It had been a richly creative time

for Bailer and the guys, but it was

time to move on to other things.

After that band called it a day,

Bailer found himself writing

tunes not on behalf of a group,

but primarily for himself. It was

an exhilarating place, and some-

thing he hadn’t experienced for

some time. “Suddenly I wasn’t

writing for a project, and I was

having a great time exploring

music and styles that I hadn’t

tried before.” He tapped into mu-

sic he had fi rst heard as a kid, and

all kinds of inspiration surfaced.

“Those early infl uences were

much more deeply ingrained in

me than I had thought.

“I wondered what it would

sound like if I wrote a rockabilly

song, or something kind of coun-

try -- something really outside of

what I had done.”

Writing in these other styles

has also been the most natural

creative fi t for Bailer so far, he

pointed out. “I do think that it’s

because of how much of those

infl uences I soaked up when I

was really young. For years, I ran

away from those infl uences be-

cause that was the music of my

parents. Screwtape Lewis was so

1980s inspired, because the 80s

was our music as teens. I hung

onto that for a really long time.

“But you get to an age where

you come full circle, and realize

it’s not a bad thing to listen to

your parents’ record collection.

So you are re-introduced to this

music and see it from a complete-

ly different perspective.”

The strength of the tunes he

was coming up with led to the

production of a new disc. “The

fi rst few gigs we played, it went

so well. And we realized we had

stumbled upon a mix of styles

people really connected to. So

here we are, two years later, go-

ing harder than ever. It’s really

taken off.”

Punch Drunk Cabaret’s debut

was produced by engineer Ross

Nykiforuk. “Ross is a great musi-

cian in his own right. If we lived

closer, we would just insist he be

in the band.”

Rounding out the group are

Reverend Robin Eklund on drums

and Terry Sawbones Grant on

12-string bass. The members are

all veterans whose resumes in-

clude supporting acts like Nick-

elback, the Tragically Hip, 54-40

and the Northern Pikes.

Meanwhile, there’s no place

Bailer would rather be than

taking the band’s music to the

masses. There are 10 cuts on their

fi rst CD, and he and the guys are

busy building up a repertoire

representing the terrifi c, bold

sound that defi nes Punch Drunk

Cabaret. “With this music and

this style, I feel like I’m a student

of it. To become a student again

and see things in a whole new

perspective, it’s as exciting as it

was when I was 15 learning to

play songs and write music for

the fi rst time. I can hardly think

of anything else in life that is like

that.”

ENTERTAINMENT

The Bourne Legacy

works hard to capture the

feeling of the fi rst three

Bourne movies, using the

same music and some of

the supporting cast from

those fi lms in minor roles.

And it mostly succeeds. If

you liked the Bourne series

before, this is more of the

same.

It picks up from a se-

quence in the previous

Bourne Ultimatum and

intercuts it with scenes

of our new Bourne-like

character, well played by

Jeremy Renner (The Hurt

Locker). He’s on some kind

of survival training mis-

sion in Alaska and we soon

learn that he and Matt Da-

mon’s Bourne character

are only two of the highly

trained agents in a top se-

cret government program.

But Edward Norton plays

a cold-blooded government

bureaucrat given the job

of shutting down that pro-

gram immediately because

of fears it will become pub-

lic.

So all these highly

trained superagents, with

their performance now en-

hanced by drugs, need to

be killed. However, Renner

narrowly escapes his

planned death, quickly fi g-

ures out what’s happening

and fakes his death.

But he still needs his

meds, so he goes after one

of the doctors who treated

him in the program, played

by Rachel Weisz. With

Renner’s help, she too nar-

rowly escapes death as part

of the program’s shutdown

and they work together to

escape the clutches of their

nasty government over-

seers.

Once you get past the un-

believability of it all, this

is a thrilling movie with

lots of action and unlikely

stunts. And judging by the

ending, Bourne 5 is already

in the planning stages.

Local audiences can expect love, magic,

music and adventure during Red Deer Col-

lege’s 2012/13 performing arts season.

Prepare to be swept away in the high-

fl ying adventure of Peter Pan and fall in

love again with Shakespeare’s magical A

Midsummer Night’s Dream. There will

be spine-tingling drama too, with perfor-

mances of an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s

Dracula slated for next February.

Highlights of the music program con-

cert series feature a piano recital by Rus-

ton Vuori and Dr. Dale Wheeler, intimate

jazz concerts, cabarets and an eclectic se-

ries from RDC’s popular ensembles: the

Chamber Choir, Symphonic Winds, Per-

cussion Ensemble and Big Band.

Kicking things off will be, as mentioned,

A Midsummer Night’s Dream -- a comedy

by William Shakespeare. The production

runs Oct. 11-20 in Studio A.

Escape to the magical forest just outside

of Athens and experience Shakespeare’s

most popular comedy. Audiences will de-

light in this fantastical journey where hu-

mans and fairies entangle themselves in

twisted and outrageous webs of love and

deceit.

Next up, the classic story of Peter Pan

by J.M. Barrie runs Nov. 22 to Dec. 1 on

the mainstage. The high-fl ying epic tale of

the boy who never grew up features Peter,

Wendy, Captain Hook and the Lost Boys in

an action-packed adventure.

Early into the New Year, things take a

decidedly spookier turn with Bram Stok-

er’s legendary tale of Dracula, adapted by

Steven Dietz. Performances run Feb. 7-16

on the mainstage. Dietz’s adaptation of

this intense gothic fantasy is full of seduc-

tion, suspense and, of course, blood.

Rounding out the theatre season is Sum-

mertime by Charles Mee which runs April

17-21 in Studio A. Love is everywhere in

this romantic, surreal comedy as a quirky

cast of characters express their intimate

pasts, current love affairs, and future de-

sires with honesty and vigor. The play does

contain mature subject matter and coarse

language.

Musically speaking, things begin this

fall with Alberta Arts Days set for Sept.

28-30 on the mainstage. The Symphonic

Winds perform on the mainstage on Nov. 1

in a show entitled Back to the Baton which

includes retired guest conductors.

Another popular tradition is the Rota-

ry Senior’s Concert, set for Nov. 6 on the

mainstage as well. This show is free to se-

niors, and includes a reception and trans-

portation to and from the performance.

Jazz night, featuring the RDC Big Band

and an array of student and faculty com-

binations, runs Dec. 4-5 in Studio A at 7:30

p.m. followed by the traditional holiday fa-

vourite Sounds Of The Season on Dec. 7.

This year’s version of Sounds of The Sea-

son features the Chamber Choir and the

Symphonic Winds.

The New Year kicks off with the Faculty

Jazz Cabaret on Jan. 12 in Studio A and the

Ruston Vuori Piano Recital on Jan. 27 also

in Studio A. Offering audiences an eclectic

recital featuring piano, voice and winds in-

cluding Schumann’s Frauenliebe, the Dale

Wheeler Piano Recital is set for Feb. 24 on

the mainstage. The Symphonic Winds per-

form on March 7 and the Percussion En-

semble takes the stage March 8.

The month continues with Jazz Night on

March 15 on the mainstage, where the RDC

Big Band and guest artists will wow audi-

ences with music of the ‘royal’ families of

jazz.

That’s Entertainment showcases the

best performances of the year by RDC mu-

sic students, and this year there are two

shows: an evening show on March 23 and

a matinee on March 24 – both on the main-

stage.

A Touch Of Class, featuring the Cham-

ber Choir and the Symphonic Winds,

wraps things up on April 4.

Details for all performances are avail-

able at www.rdc.ab.ca/showtime.

ticketcentre.ca or by calling 403-755-6626.

LIFESTYLE

Everyone has had back

pain at least once in their

life and we all know that it

is not a fun thing to experi-

ence. Do you fi nd yourself

wondering when and why

this aching pain started

and how you can get it to

stop?

Our back pain can start

from a wide variety of

culprits: excessive sitting,

lack of core strength, tight

muscles, infl amed muscles,

spinal injuries and poor

posture (most common).

While some of the causes

are serious and require

medical care, most back

pain can be relieved with

simple lifestyle changes

and a few exercises.

Here are some easy,

quick ways to help you re-

duce, ease and eliminate

back pain.

Hydration - you may not

think that just water alone

can help you with your

back pain, but it works and

works well. The majority of

the population is dehydrat-

ed and doesn’t get enough

water throughout the day.

Water helps with so many

bodily functions and is the

fi rst step to being pain-free.

Getting enough water

will help reduce blood pres-

sure, reduce infl ammation

in our muscles and help

you get rid of toxins that

are building up around

your tight, sore muscles.

Try and shoot for three

litres of water a day and it

will help reduce back pain.

Lose weight - now, this

may sound silly and a no

brainer but it’s true and the

fact is that losing weight

doesn’t get the attention it

deserves when it comes to

reducing back pain. Imag-

ine how bad your back

would feel if I gave you a

50 lb backpack full of rocks

and told you to go climb a

mountain? Not good, huh?

Our spine takes quite a

beating everyday if you are

overweight, especially if

you carry a lot of abdomi-

nal weight. This makes the

spine arch more than it

should and shifts your bal-

ance forward, tiring your

lower back and tightening

your muscles.

The thing about losing

weight is that a lot of peo-

ple are in the ‘all or noth-

ing’ mentality. Either they

want to lose 50 lbs or else

they don’t want to waste

their time with the little

stuff. That is where we can

go really wrong we need to

start small. You can take a

lot of stress of your spine

even with fi ve or 10 lbs off.

Posture at work -more

and more of us are enter-

ing into a sedentary style

at work. We are needed

in chairs behind desks in

front of a computer.

The battle of correcting

your posture at work is to

be aware of a bad posture

and bad spinal position. It

is easy to hunch your shoul-

ders and round your back,

but we have to change our

ways if we want our body to

change and feel better.

Always try and keep both

feet on the fl oor with your

chest up and your shoul-

ders down as much as pos-

sible. Start by bring the

keyboard closer to you and

by upgrading your chair to

a more ergonomic version

-- even better than that is to

sit on an exercise ball while

at the desk if you can.

Stretch - when our mus-

cles get tight, they become

infl amed and together that

can wreak havoc on the

lower back and your spine.

A tight muscle will also be-

gin to pull the spine out of

place and cause big time

damage and soreness.

A stretched and overall

loose muscle will be less

infl amed, much more com-

fortable and will hold fewer

toxins. It’s a win-win situa-

tion.

LIFESTYLE

My patients always give

me the wrong answer when

I ask them, “What cancer

kills women more than any

other malignancy?” Most

say “Breast cancer.”

But lung cancer kills

more women than breast

and colon/rectal cancer

combined. But there’s hope

for both sexes.

Unfortunately, there’s an

interesting, recurrent, yet

depressing reaction par-

ticularly for non-smokers

who develop lung cancer.

When told that someone

has breast cancer there’s

always a sympathetic ear.

But when informed a

person has lung cancer,

sure as night follows day,

the fi rst, quick response is

“Was he or she a smoker?”

It’s a remark that puts

an unfair stigma on non-

smokers.

This year another 110,000

men and 90,000 North

American women will die

of this disease. Of this

number 10% of men and

20% of women have never

smoked.

One would think if smok-

ers looked at the carnage,

they would do everything

in their power to stop.

Breast cancer patients

have an 85% chance of

being alive in fi ve years.

Those treated for lung can-

cer have an 85% chance of

being dead. And 10 years

after breast cancer treat-

ment, patients are four

times more likely to have

survived.

Why non-smokers devel-

op this malignancy is not

known. A Swedish study

found an increase in lung

cancer in those exposed

to residential radon gas,

a breakdown product of

uranium. Other research-

ers link lung cancer to

scarring that occurs with

recurrent bouts of pneu-

monia, tuberculosis and

other illnesses. Still more

associate this malignancy

with atmospheric exposure

to a variety of products.

What about genetics?

Iceland’s remote location

has resulted in a national

genealogy database unique

to that country. This has al-

lowed researchers to trace

connections between fami-

lies since the settlement of

the country, particularly

in a study of 2,756 patients

diagnosed with lung cancer

between the years 1955 to

2002. The study concluded

that lung cancer appears to

run in certain families.

But the study stressed

although genetics appears

to play a role in developing

lung cancer, tobacco smoke

plays the dominant role.

In spite of high-tech CT

scans and MRIs, smokers

will continue to die unless

they toss away tobacco, a

foolish, irrational habit.

If the smoker accom-

plishes this task then the

news is all good. Within

minutes of a fi nal cigarette,

the body begins a series

of recuperative changes.

For instance, 20 minutes

after the fi nal puff, blood

pressure falls, heart rate

decreases and body tem-

perature of hands and feet

increases to normal.

Look ahead another

eight hours and the blood

level of carbon monoxide

drops to normal and oxy-

gen level becomes normal.

After 24 hours the risk of

coronary attack decreases.

During the next three

months circulation im-

proves, and as lung func-

tion increases up to 30%,

walking becomes easier.

Former smokers also no-

tice that within one to nine

months there’s less cough-

ing, sinus congestion, fa-

tigue, shortness of breath

and more energy.

One year later the risk

of coronary attack has de-

creased by 50%. And in 10

years the chance of devel-

oping lung cancer is simi-

lar to that of a non-smoker.

CRAWLY CREATURES – Fuzzy caterpillars take over a tree in a Red Deer yard. Tanis Reid/Red Deer Express

Heritage Ranch recently

launched ‘Your Team Un-

leashed’, an innovative

team building company. It

incorporates hands on work

with horses and round pen

demonstrations to grow

communication, trust and

leadership within a team.

“Horses have basically

one way to communicate

-- body language. Work-

ing with horses forces us

to consider the impact our

body language has on those

around us. That’s why

teambuilding with the use

of horses is so incredibly ef-

fective,” said Joel Martens,

owner of Your Team Un-

leashed. “Each individual

that comes through our pro-

gram is required to look at

the true message he is deliv-

ering to those around him.”

Martens, who has trained

over 800 horses, now ap-

plies his insights to busi-

ness and in helping others

to fi nd success in manage-

ment and team leadership.

He fi nds there is a correla-

tion between horses and

business – leadership, con-

fi dence, integrity and team-

work are key components

of both. The examples from

the herd are plentiful.

“In the world of horses

confi dence is currency.

Confi dence is respected.

The quiet confi dent stallion

moves, guides and instills a

sense of peace in the herd.”

Unleashed takes place in

the outdoors utilizing Heri-

tage Ranch’s 217 acres.

While the program is ex-

perience based with hands-

on exercises, all the work

is done on the ground and

clients do not need to have

any previous horse experi-

ence. Skilled facilitators

guide the exercises ensur-

ing the comfort and safety

of all involved.

Available as a half day

introductory package or as

a one or two-day intensive,

the Unleashed program fea-

tures 10 sessions to choose

from including topics like

conducting accurate as-

sessments, leading with

trust, how confi dence mat-

ters and teamwork - exam-

ples from the herd. There is

also the opportunity to set

up multiple sessions over

the course of a year to take

a cumulative approach to

all the workshops.

On-site facilitator Nata-

sha Cole has worked with

a diversity of clients in this

program, and she said she

has found “People often have

a very literal ‘aha moment’.

They arrive a certain way

and leave with a completely

different perspective.”

SPORTS

BY TANIS REIDRed Deer Express

It is roller derby season,

and local women and men

are strapping on their old

school roller skates and

(literally) hitting the track.

According to Karin Gil-

christ, also known as Mu-

lan Bruise, a member of

the Red Deer Roller Derby

Association (RDRDA), roll-

er derby has been spring-

ing up in towns all over

Alberta.

“It just takes a few girls

who are really interested

and want to skate to get to-

gether and start a league.”

On Aug. 25, Westerner

Park will host the Summer

Grudgen III: Clash of the

Titans bout. This is going to

be the fi rst sanctioned bout

in Canada where it is men

vs. women.

“We are a really close

league and we just thought

it would be a really great

experience to play each

other.”

The RDRDA formed in

late 2008 when the fi rst

group of girls laced up their

skates and hit the fl oor at

the Collicutt Centre. The

original league was made

of one team - the Belladon-

nas. One year later two

house teams were formed,

the Heavy Duty Chicanicks

and the Death Roll Derby

Dolls.

In 2010 a men’s team hit

the track with the creation

of the Dreadnaughts.

Roller derby is an Ameri-

can invented contact sport

that was created by Leo

Seltzer in the 1930s. He was

looking for a way to capi-

talize on the past time of

roller speed skating so he

held a roller skating endur-

ance race, similar to bicy-

cle races that had become

popular during the Great

Depression. As the races

Seltzer put together gained

popularity, teams replaced

the endurance and long-

distance skating, a point

system was introduced and

certain forms of physical

contact were allowed.

According to The Roller

Derby Resource web site,

the 1970s were recognizing

the sport for its entertain-

ment qualities. Bouts were

often playing to sold-out

stadiums and were broad-

cast on television.

Modern day roller derby

has moved away from the

‘scripted bouts’ of the 1970s

and is now a full contact

sport that focuses on ath-

leticism and agility.

Meanwhile, the local

league has continued to

grow and is currently com-

prised of four divisions.

The Competitive Division

is made up of the Bella-

donnas, the Nightshades

and the Dreadnaughts. The

Freshmeat Division is a

gateway to roller derby.

The newly-formed Recre-

ational Division offers less

competitive matches and

casual skate opportuni-

ties. And fi nally, the Junior

Division will be launched

later this year.

An average team will

have 14 skaters on their

roster. The Belladonnas

currently have 11 members

on their team so they are

recruiting.

Bruise, who is also a

player for the Belladonnas,

has been skating for almost

one year and has come to

appreciate the sport. “It is

an aggressive sport, which

I really, really like and it is

challenging and you get a

lot of exercise. It is some-

thing I have just fallen in

love with,” she said.

In this weekend’s bout,

the Belladonnas face off

against the Dreadnaughts

at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 in

advance and $15 at the door.

SPORTS

If you asked me six

months ago what I would

be doing on my summer

holidays, I would have

replied with camping,

working at Balmoral Golf

Course, helping my grand-

parents on their acreage,

riding my bike, rollerblad-

ing, Taekwondo.

Instead I went to Korea.

This summer wasn’t any

normal summer I have

ever experienced. Over two

weeks I met 40 friends from

all over the world, places I

never even knew existed.

I also learned how to

speak and write Korean, do

yoga poses, K-Pop dance,

Taekwondo aerobics, tap-

ing and last but not least,

sparring.

This experience makes

me think of the world as a

whole new place with no

limitations; each one has

taught me so many new

things about their own

country. These people I

have met will always be a

part of my life, and I know

together we can support

each other with each of our

own Taekwondo goals.

In my mind, yoga classes

had nothing to do with Tae-

kwondo, but it surprised

me how important yoga is

for a Taekwondo athlete.

Being able to stay fl exible

for an athlete is one of the

most important compo-

nents especially for high

kicks.

Some yoga poses are

more diffi cult than others,

and some are very simple,

but each one has a huge

importance whether it is

for your back, legs, arms,

neck etc.

I am still practicing yoga

every morning to relax my-

self, and to keep myself as

fl exible as I can.

For those of you who

don’t know what K-Pop is,

it is a music genre consist-

ing of dance, electronic,

hip-hop from South Korea.

This music is very upbeat

and has catchy lyrics; most

of the choruses are in Eng-

lish.

This dance class we had

was a great amount of fun,

it helped everyone to loos-

en up and get to know the

whole team.

Not only was it fun and a

great way to get to know, the

other teammates but it was

a good cool down workout.

Taekwondo aerobics is

almost like a dance, it uses

motions that we use in

Taekwondo put to a K-Pop

song. We use movements

such as kicking, sparring

jumping and hand ges-

tures. This is a great way to

workout, or warm up and

have fun!

Last but not least, spar-

ring. Sparring classes

were the main reason why

I came to Korea. Sparring

has been my passion since

I was eight-years-old, I am

16 now and I love it more

than ever. I learned many

new techniques, and I was

inspired to be faster and

more aggressive when I

kick. Everyone who par-

ticipated in sparring got a

partner from the Kyung-

Hee University team.

Our partners were all so

different, and so were we,

but we all shared the love of

sparring which all brought

us together into our own

little family. I can’t wait

to share all I have learned

with everyone else in Mas-

ter Rim’s Taekwondo, I

know it will make each of

us better and bring out the

best in each of our sparring

abilities.

I look at my life different-

ly now; I am a strong young

woman and the only limita-

tions I have are the ones I

have created for myself.

I have found a new confi -

dence in myself, and a new

love to learn about other

things and places around

the world.

One day I hope I can re-

turn to Korea and keep

expanding my knowledge

of new places, new friends

and ultimately Taekwondo.

Emily Beauchamp is a stu-dent at Master Rim’s Tae-kwondo. She, along with three others from Red Deer traveled to Korea to participate in a Taekwondo training camp from July 15-30th.

What a wonderful summer it

has been! The weather has been

amazing and we have seen many

days above 25 degrees which is

unusual for Central Alberta.

I hope you have been able to get

out and enjoy time with your fam-

ily and friends – I know I’ve spent

more time camping this year than

most of my adult life combined.

RV’s are a marvel of effi cient

usage of space, every square inch

is effi ciently used to maximize

limited square footage.

If you are living in a small

apartment or home, take inspira-

tion from the RV for clever stor-

age and even furniture ideas. Our

RV has a fl ip-up mattress with

storage underneath for blankets

and pillows and I recently saw

a bed that had this same feature

on a design site – I thought it was

awesome!

It would be great in a small

spare room where you don’t need

a box spring.

In a bed you sleep in everyday

good support using a box spring

is a must but in a spare room

which is used infrequently, you

would be able to use a quality

mattress if the frame provided

you with better storage.

Many functions in an RV are

double duty, the table makes into

a bed and TVs can fl ip around to

be viewed from bedroom or liv-

ing space. Is there a place in your

home where you can double up?

Can you give anything in your

home a double function? If you

have a seating area or bench, can

it be also used as storage or can

you use things such as ottomans

or side tables as extra storage.

Do you have a place where you

can hide a small fridge for bev-

erages or coffee in a bedroom

or guest suite? Imagine if your

guests had their own coffee in

their rooms (single brew Kuerigs

are brilliant), how relaxed and

at home they would feel in the

mornings – and how less clut-

tered the kitchen would be!

The next time you are looking

at RVs, take a look at the colour

schemes. Observe how the cabi-

nets/floors/furniture/counter-

tops/curtains are all dark but

all those colours don’t make the

space look small.

Trailer manufacturers utilize a

design technique where the con-

trast between items is kept low.

Even if the colours are dark the

eye drifts from one item to an-

other without the need to stop at

a bright colour or light spot. It is a

clever way to make a small space

seem larger, it works in homes as

well – just with better upholstery

choices.

If you are placing a large bed in

a small room, try to match the bed

covers and linens to the walls, the

colour blend will minimize the

edge lines around the bed.

Just like an RV, a home with

a small space can look cluttered

and messy in a very short time.

If you live in a small space, the

inspiration of storage can be imi-

tated in your home.

Take a weekend and go look at

new trailers, even if you aren’t in

the market for one. It is a fun ex-

ercise to see how they have made

small spaces mighty big on stor-

age and may just give you a few

new ideas when it comes to using

your small space more effi ciently.

HOMES & LIVING

Beauty, spaciousness,

interior design – and every

other eye-pleasing esthet-

ic – are important when

building a personal dream

home.

Today, however, with the

reality of energy and envi-

ronmental concerns, ho-

meowners also insist that

the place where they will

be living for years on end

must be as eco-responsible

as possible.

As it turns out, many

decisions that are initially

based on responsibility can

deliver unexpected esthetic

results too.

“Sometimes the least

glamorous decisions can be

the ones that give your life-

style far more quality and

value—and a good case in

point is the use of concrete

to build the walls, instead

of traditional wood-fram-

ing,” says Todd Blyth at

Nudura, a leading name in

this fi eld.

“Our Canadian technol-

ogy has advanced the de-

velopment of the ‘insulated

concrete form’, a system

that that interlocks to erect

a building, like Lego.

For the occupants, the

benefi ts of improved com-

fort, energy effi ciency, safe-

ty, and interior air quality

are delivered immediately

with ICF construction—

and for the homeowner-

investor, all those benefi ts

assure top resale value

later on.”

In addition, Blyth points

out, an ICF structure can

be fi nished on the exterior

just like traditional wood

frame structures.

Stone, stucco, brick or

whatever is envisioned, can

be done with the insulated

concrete forms.

Building the walls with

concrete is also an option

that needs to be decided

early in the planning, he

says. The method discards

wood framing in favour of

pre-assembled, interlock-

ing concrete forms fi lled

with concrete. Take a look

at a few more of the head-

turning benefi ts of con-

crete:

Fuel Savings - premium

insulation is essential with

energy costs on the rise.

Solid concrete walls vast-

ly reduce air infi ltration

(compared to wood walls)

optimizing energy perfor-

mance and reducing car-

bon footprints.

The R-value (insulation

effectiveness) comes in at

R-50 and can save you to

70% on energy bills.

Comfort - outside cold

easily travels through

wood-framed walls causing

thermal bridging and cre-

ating uncomfortable chilly

spots inside your home.

But walls with a solid con-

crete core address and

prevent thermal bridging,

thereby delivering even

temperatures throughout

the house.

Quiet - solid concrete is

an effective sound barrier.

It dampens sound vibra-

tions from outside noise,

such as traffi c, trains, and

neighbourhood parties.

Sound-proofi ng is an addi-

tion to home comfort.

Safety - the fi re protec-

tion rating is up to four

hours.

If high wind in your com-

munity is a concern, data

shows that Nudura homes

demonstrate impact resis-

tance up to 402 km/h.

Improved value - it is

generally expected that

a stronger, safer, greener

home, and one that is more

durable, more cost effi -

cient, and needs less main-

tenance and repair, will

build and hold its value.

HOMES & LIVING

The mortgage brokerage

industry often times takes

a lot of heat from the banks,

mostly the employees that

work at the branch level -

as usually their employer

works with mortgage bro-

kers either directly or in-

directly on an investment

level. So it’s nice to hear of

an author outside of our

industry trumpeting our

benefi ts.

Bruce Sellery, author of

Moolala, says that going

back to your bank primar-

ily because you’ve been a

customer there “forever”

is “zombie behaviour.”

He made these comments

while appearing on the

Lang & O’Leary Exchange

on the 13th of August.

He added, “A lot of peo-

ple would say its loyalty. I

would say it’s lazy.”

Sellery speaks of get-

ting the most bang for your

buck, and see what other

opportunities are out there

for you regarding lenders

and rates - it could poten-

tially cost you thousands

of dollars for misguided

loyalty.

Following are some ex-

cerpts from the show:

“You can be loyal to a res-

taurant you love because

they treat you right, but

don’t be loyal to your bank

because you like the person

there...it can make a pro-

found difference in the rate

you pay.”

“Mortgage brokers work

for you, versus the bank

mortgage specialist who

works for the bank and of-

fers the products of the

bank. Don’t let loyalty

trump the interest rate.”

“Banks can be competi-

tive. They have deep pock-

ets. But they are competi-

tive when they have to be

competitive.”

You can sometimes bene-

fi t from keeping all of your

business with a bank but

you will have to “fi ght for”

that benefi t, says Sellery.

To be fully objective, he did

bring up some questions

about the mortgage broker-

age model as well.

Understand how brokers

make money, he advises.

Most brokers make a one-

time commission based on

the value of the mortgage.

They can also receive vol-

ume bonuses, trailer fees,

and incentives. “The vol-

ume bonuses are…the area

where I have the biggest

question,” Sellery says.

He cites a potential “loss

of objectivity” resulting

from some brokers think-

ing: “If I hit my volume, I

get X.”

All this being said, our

job is to look out for your

best interest (pun intend-

ed), both on the rate side

and also on the service side.

Do the lender’s guidelines

match your needs?

Is the rate competitive

with everyone else’s? What

other terms and conditions

are included? To be fully

objective a good mortgage

agent will search out all the

criteria in the market place

and give you the best op-

tions out there.

All the bank branches

can do is provide you with

only one option, and that’s

their own.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m

not here to bash the banks,

I’m here just to provide the

alternative voice to what

I hear from some of my

clients for what they hear

from the branch. No doubt

the mortgage industry has

some problems, but they

usually stem from the nov-

ice mortgage agents that

have come from the outside

without any prior training

other than the course that

the Real Estate Council of

Alberta provides.

Like I said in the past, if

you are going to hire a pro-

fessional, make sure you

get a good one. We aren’t

that hard to fi nd.
