With Valentine’s Day fast ap-
proaching, many may be
scrambling to think of some-
thing to do or to buy for their loved one.
Flowers, especially roses are one of
the more popular items on Valentine’s
Day and there are a variety to choose
from.
However, for those looking for some-
thing unique, a fruit-fi lled bouquet is
something that might be a way to ex-
press love for your signifi cant other as
well.
“Valentine’s Day is our busiest day
at the store for sure,” said Elie Mettri,
co-owner of Edible Arrangements in
Red Deer. “Instead of getting a bou-
quet of fl owers, this is something that
can be shared with co-workers, family
and friends and it’s something the re-
cipient can enjoy.”
He added the fruit is prepared fresh
every morning and there are different
prices to choose from.
“There is really something for ev-
eryone.”
Meanwhile, Debra Macleod, a lo-
cal couples mediator and relationship
author-expert for television, radio,
magazines and newspapers in the U.S.
and Canada, said although Valentine’s
Day only falls on one day a year, cou-
ples should celebrate their love more
often than that.
“For a relationship to last, couples
must strive to stay sweethearts every
day and every night by prioritizing
their relationship and treating each
other with affection, adoration and
appreciation,” said Macleod. “Cupid
wouldn’t accept anything less and nei-
ther should you.”
As for Valentine’s Day, she added
many people regard fl owers and
chocolates as small gestures that are
motivated more by consumerism than
romanticism.
“The heart-shaped holiday has also
changed its focus, as many parents
would rather buy ‘Be Mine’ trinkets
for their kids than wine truffl es for
their partner,” said Macleod. “Yet this
cynicism and ambivalence toward the
‘lovey dovey’ side of Valentine’s Day
isn’t just bad for greeting card compa-
nies—it’s bad for relationships, too.”
She added part of the reason it’s im-
portant for couples to celebrate their
love regularly is because today’s cou-
ples are busy, stressed, exhausted and
overwhelmed.
“They email their coworkers at
breakfast, facebook their friends at
lunch and Google at the supper table.
Relationships are rarely prioritized,”
said Macleod. “With all this discon-
nection in the love department, it’s
time for cupid to make a big, mushy
comeback. He needs to remind us—at
the tip of a pointed arrow, if neces-
sary—that romantic love is a wonder-
ful thing that deserves a day in the
spotlight.”
She added for couples looking for
a sweet, sexy way to ramp up the ro-
mance in their relationship this Val-
entine’s Day, one idea that lasts longer
than candy hearts but costs less than
a trip to Paris is a bedroom makeover.
“Get rid of the exercise bike, the
kids’ toys and the piles of laundry on
the fl oor and replace them with a soft
wing-back chair, a selection of mas-
sage oils and soft lighting,” said Ma-
cleod. “Paint over your boring beige
bedroom walls with a deep, sensual
colour and replace your worn fl annel
sheets with luxurious linen.
“A couple’s bedroom should be a
sanctuary, a private space, into which
they can retreat and enjoy each other.
And above all, it should have a good
lock on the door.”
In addition, she said Valentine’s Day
should be a time of self-refl ection for
partners.
“Ask yourself how do I talk to my
partner? Do I use a pleasant, loving
voice tone like I used to, or do I speak
with criticism, contempt or defensive-
ness? Also, what am I doing, every day,
to make my partner’s life easier and
more fun?
“And fi nally, do I still look into my
partner’s eyes and make him or her
feel like the centre of my world, or do
I stare at my computer or phone and
ignore him or her?”

“WITH ALL THIS DISCONNECTION IN THE LOVE DEPARTMENT,
IT’S TIME FOR CUPID TO MAKE A BIG, MUSHY COMEBACK. HE
NEEDS TO REMIND US — AT THE TIP OF A POINTED ARROW, IF
NECESSARY — THAT ROMANTIC LOVE IS A WONDERFUL THING THAT DESERVES A DAY IN THE
SPOTLIGHT.”

A man nearly froze to
death in the City’s down-
town over the weekend as
temperatures plummeted.
The man, who has not been
identifi ed, was reportedly
found in the downtown area
and taken to Red Deer Re-
gional Hospital.
Kath Hoffman, executive
director at Safe Harbour
Society, said the incident is
an unfortunate one, but it is
not refl ective on the amount
of beds available for shelter
in the City. Last fall, due to
changes in funding and local
zoning requirements of the
downtown core, the Winter
Inn, a temporary shelter
program offered during the
colder months, did not open.
The program has been oper-
ating since 2007 by Safe Har-
bour Society.
However to help make
up the shortfall, beds have
been increased at People’s
Place and the Mats program
at Safe Harbour. There are
currently 35 year-round
beds, up from 23 beds previ-
ously at People’s Place and
26 beds, up from 20 beds at
the Mats program, which
is an overnight shelter for
individuals who are high or
intoxicated.
“The person (found this
weekend) was not someone
who was trying to access
shelter,” she said. “Had they
tried, there would have been
a bed available. Even though
it was pretty cold we had
room for people through this
past weekend.”
Hoffman said offi cials are
determining whether more
shelters are needed.
“We’re watching that
closely this year. The in-
crease in beds will tell us
how we are doing. It’s been
bitterly cold and we’ve had
lots of cold temperatures
to gauge that and so far the
only real turn-aways we’ve
had is if someone has shown
up at People’s Place and
needs to get to Mats instead,
but we have been able to ac-
commodate them.
“We don’t know what the
right number is (in terms
of beds) and we’re working
with the City on that and
our other community part-
ners to ensure we do have
adequate shelter.”
She added when the tem-
peratures plummet often
times people have more
compassion when it comes
to those living on the streets.
“With the weather as cold
as it has been, our numbers
go down and that’s typically
because people’s hearts get
opened up a little more. If
someone is at their friend’s
house, his friend isn’t so
quick to kick him out.”
Meanwhile, Hoffman said
Safe Harbour’s Mats pro-
gram was born years ago af-
ter a homeless man froze to
death in Rotary Park.
“The community agen-
cies at the time got together
and said that is not going to
happen in Red Deer. When
I think of that situation and
compared to then, we have
26 spaces available for that
particular gentleman (who
was found in the downtown
this past weekend) who need
it. The unfortunate part
of it is, was he aware? Did
he have his wits with him
enough to make his way
anywhere? Typically if the
RCMP see someone like that
they are quick to pick them
up and bring them to us, so
who knows exactly what
happened to have that be the
result. “But I am relieved to
know that had he made it
here (to the Mats program),
we would have had a place
for him.”

Agency offi cials are urg-
ing local sex workers to uti-
lize a tool in which they can
report violent or criminal
incidents.
The Bad Date Book, oper-
ated by the Central Alberta
AIDS Network, began in
2009 with the fi rst entry be-
ing recorded in April of that
year. Since its inception
there has been 30 reported
incidents in Red Deer.
Bad date reports are inci-
dents provided anonymous-
ly by victims or support
workers of victims where a
sex worker has been raped,
assaulted or robbed by a cli-
ent.
The reports are shared via
‘Bad Date Book Red Deer’ on
facebook or on the web page
of CAANS (www.CAANS.
org) as well as through of-
fi cials with the agency, in
hopes of bringing awareness
of the incident and warning
others.
The importance of the
Bad Date Book has been
brought to light in recent
weeks as three incidents
have been reported – two of
which were separate inci-
dents, but have similar cir-
cumstances.
“Bad dates are not new to
Canada or to North Ameri-
ca, certainly there have been
agencies in Alberta who
have been gathering bad
dates for 10-15 years,” said
Jennifer Vanderschaeghe,
executive director, Central
Alberta AIDS Network in
Red Deer.
“Bad dates by defi nition
are anything that happens to
a sex worker that is unusual
– that can be rape, assault,
robbery, abduction or inde-
cent acts.”
She added the RCMP are
also made aware of bad
dates in the City as well.
“We share the informa-
tion with the RCMP and
they can actually have that
on their radar. The RCMP
can’t charge anybody relat-
ed to bad dates unless they
have a victim, but they can
do some work.”
She added as an agency,
the Bad Date Book is one
way that CAANS can sup-
port local sex workers.
“Not all of the incidents
have been women, there has
been men as well and not all
of victims have been over 18
years of age,” she said.
Vanderschaeghe said
CAANS offi cials believe that
not many sex workers in
Red Deer are aware they can
report incidents to the Bad
Date Book.
“We actually think not
many of them know (about
it),” she said. “We of course
have connections to sex
workers but there are way
more sex workers out there
than we see.”
Eden, a sex worker who
has been in Red Deer for
about three and a half years,
said more workers need to
be aware of how to report
bad dates.
“We’re so afraid that
someone is going to fi nd out
what we do and be isolated
and we’re going to lose fam-
ily and friends (so incidents
go unreported in some cas-
es). This is another reason
why some of us are victim-
ized because we can’t tell
anyone because then they
will know what we do,” she
said. “The Bad Date Book
encourages us to look out for
each other.
“I’m nervous when I meet
a new client. You do not
know what is going to hap-
pen whether you are going
to see them, or they are com-
ing to see you. I do a referral
process before I see a new
client and the Bad Date Book
is one of the places I go.
“It would be awesome if it
was used more, but it’s there
and it’s helpful.”
She added a bad date is
about power and victimiza-
tion.
“Sex workers are vulner-
able.”
Meanwhile, Vanderschae-
ghe said CAAN’s hope for
the Bad Date Book is that it
will be a useful tool to help
keep sex workers safe.
“We know there are more
bad dates than what we hear
about. Not only do we want
sex workers to be aware of
the Bad Date Book, but we
also want them to feel com-
fortable in sharing the bad
date with us,” she said. “It
doesn’t have to be your bad
date, it can be the story you
heard from a friend or from
one of your clients. We don’t
want any information that
would breach confi dentiali-
ty. We want to hear the story
and we want to hear about
the person who was victim-
ized.”
Bad Date Book records abusive incidents in CityLocal sex worker uses reported incidents as tool to help stay safe
“BAD DATES BY DEFINITION ARE ANYTHING THAT
HAPPENS TO A SEX WORKER THAT IS
UNUSUAL – THAT CAN BE RAPE, ASSAULT,
ROBBERY, ABDUCTION OR INDECENT ACTS.”

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.

The Red Deer 2019 Can-
ada Winter Games Bid
committee was host to the
Canada Winter Games
Technical Review Commit-
tee over the last few days,
bringing Red Deer another
step closer to becoming the
home of the 2019 Canada
Winter Games.
The Review Commit-
tee performed a technical
assessment of the com-
munity in respect to the
hosting standards estab-
lished for sport and other
non-sport venues and the
Games Village. The review
was performed by technical
experts, and also included
a review of the tentative
sport schedule. “We have
completed the Technical
Review Phase of the com-
petitive process to get the
Games in Red Deer, and are
now waiting patiently to
hear from the Review Com-
mittee on how we faired,”
said Shelley Gagnon, act-
ing director of Community
Services.
“We were proud to dem-
onstrate why we should be
the community of choice to
host the Games.”
The Technical Review
Committee conducted vis-
its to the two communities
competing for the Games,
Red Deer and Lethbridge.
“Our committee worked
very hard to show the
Canada Games Technical
Review Committee that
Red Deer is ready for these
games,” said Lyn Radford,
chair of the Bid Commit-
tee. “We want Red Deerians
to help us raise the level
of excitement in our com-
munity and show what we
can do when we all work
together.”
After the technical
phase, communities will
enter the Bid Evaluation
Phase of the process.
The Canada Winter
Games is slated for Febru-
ary of 2019. A host com-
munity can expect to ac-
commodate 3,600 athletes,
coaches and managers;
1,500 technical representa-
tives and offi cials; 450 me-
dia and broadcast person-
nel and 25,000 visitors over
the 17-days of competition.
The opportunity to host
these Games comes to the
province every 20 years –
the last time Alberta had
the opportunity was 1995
when Grande Prairie was
selected. In 1975, the hon-
ours went to Lethbridge.
The economic benefi t is
also signifi cant, offi cials
point out the 2011 host
(Halifax) saw a $131 million
impact. Meanwhile, it’s im-
portant for the community
to ramp up the City’s pro-
fi le as the selection process
moves forward. Final bid
proposals are due to the
Canada Games Bid Evalua-
tion Committee by the end
of May. Final announce-
ments will be made in Sep-
tember.

With the holiday this Friday, fl ashes of pink
and red are painted across the City, fl orists are
likely being run off their feet, card shops are
packed with last-minute shoppers and candy
stores are pretty much running on empty as
the last boxes of chocolate treats are scooped
up.
Yes, Valentine’s Day is a bit mushy and not
for the faint of heart – so to speak. Lovers will
have an extra bounce in their step, an extra
sparkle in their eye, and a smile on their faces
as Cupid strikes again.
Even the youngsters get involved in the cel-
ebration with the excitement of giving and re-
ceiving their own Valentines from classmates
and friends.
This is where the seed of love begins.
It’s a fact that Valentine’s Day has become
more commercialized over the years – it is es-
timated that over one billion Valentine’s Day
cards are sent out each year.
This makes it the second largest card send-
ing holiday of the year with Christmas taking
the top spot.
More than 189 million roses are estimated
to be purchased and thousands of pounds of
chocolates will be consumed on this special
day as well. With all this commercial hype, we
don’t think that lovers should forget the real
meaning.
This celebratory day is all in the name of St.
Valentine. There are a few versions of who he
was. He has been described as a priest in Rome,
a bishop of Interamna, and a martyr in the Ro-
man province of Africa. Some believe that Feb.
14 is celebrated to commemorate the anniver-
sary of St. Valentine’s death, which is thought
to have happened around 270 AD.
Others believe the Christian church may
have celebrated St. Valentine’s feast in hopes
of ‘Christianizing’ celebrations of the pagan
Lupercaila Festival.
The month of February in ancient Rome was
the beginning of spring, and was considered a
time of purifi cation.
While not many people realize where Valen-
tine’s Day originated, it is still celebrated – just
in a different manner.
Although Valentine’s Day is pegged as the
day of love, we don’t think lovers should only
show their signifi cant other how they feel one
day a year – it should be everyday. Often, the
single folks dread this love-fi lled day.
It can be a reminder of their singleness,
something they may not want to think about
at all. Ladies can have their own celebrations
– the so-called ‘Galentine’s Day’ parties where
women just have fun with their friends and put
aside concerns over their singleness.
Don’t let the happiness of Valentine’s Day
get you down, it doesn’t just have to be about
falling in love. Ponder new ways to fi nd that
special someone. That way, next Valentine’s
Day you may very well have some company.
Valentine’s Day
Heaven knows I’m no
scientifi c or energy expert,
but I have some common
sense questions for the
masters of the (oil patch)
universe.
1. Why, when American
oil and gas production is
surging, are our political
and business leaders fi x-
ated on supplying more
product into that declining
market? Won’t this just re-
duce the price?
a) No, the experts might
say. In making develop-
ment decisions, today’s
reality is much less impor-
tant than the predicted sit-
uation 10 or 20 years down
the road. And given the in-
creased understanding that
fracked wells have a very
high depletion rate, it’s il-
lusory to think the present
U. S. boom will last that
long, even if new regions
are tapped. They’ll need all
we can produce by the late
’20s, so ramping up makes
a lot of sense.
That is, assuming the
predictions are reliable.
b) In any case, the patch
might say, we’ll increase
sales by exporting to Asia
and other growing mar-
kets.
2. Given the undeniably
huge cumulative environ-
mental, economic and so-
cial impacts of present pro-
duction levels, why are our
political and business lead-
ers fi xated on doubling or
tripling oil sands produc-
tion? It seems daft to me.
Surely these are good rea-
sons to reduce it instead.
And why not avoid the
social and political tur-
moil, and risk of spillage,
involved in building new
pipelines to move all this
product? Because the mar-
ket demands it, I hear the
patch say, and this is the
only thing which counts.
Although some day pro-
duction may have to be con-
strained because of climate
change, let’s sell it now
(and make climate change
worse).
In any case, don’t these
impacts and risks show
why depending complete-
ly on Adam Smith’s 18th
century ‘invisible hand’
is not always in the pub-
lic interest? Indeed, Peter
Lougheed called for the
government to intervene to
control the pace of develop-
ment.
Another response sug-
gests that the undoubted
environmental and green-
house gas impacts will be
solved, and international
criticism rebutted by the
cooperative research and
development being coor-
dinated by Dan Wicklum’s
Calgary-based Oil Sands In-
novation Alliance (COSIA).
Its plans sound impressive,
but scepticism over its ef-
fectiveness remain.
The proof of COSIA’s
research pudding will be
in the eating, not the plan-
ning, and the meal isn’t yet
scheduled.
3. Don’t present low roy-
alty levels leave the govern-
ment and people of Alberta
holding the bag, while les-
sees keep most of the mon-
ey?
Oil patch advocates say
the present royalty re-
gime is as much as they
can afford, but an objec-
tive comparison of it with
other jurisdictions might
be interesting. Several
years ago, when Premier
Ed Stelmach’s blue-ribbon
panel suggested increases,
I discovered that even these
soon-to-be-rejected fi gures
would have left us in the
middle of the pack.
But the way the oil patch
moaned, you would have
thought civilization as we
know it was threatened.
4. The Alberta Energy
Regulator says that in 2012
fl ared or vented gas in the
province rose 24.6% over
the previous year to 34.8
billion cubic ft.
Why was this permitted?
Maybe because gas prices
were so low that wasting
the resource was cheaper
than transportation and
storage?
5. Here’s the kicker. Why
are fossil fuel companies
continuing to search for
more reserves (spending
$647 billion in 2012), when
the International Energy
Agency says that we’ll
have to leave two-thirds of
already-known deposits in
the ground if the world is to
avoid catastrophic climatic
change?
Famed investor Jeremy
Grantham says “Coal and
oil sands will be stranded
assets, in that they won’t
get their money back.” In
October, pension fund man-
agers of over $3 trillion of
assets wrote the biggest 45
oil, gas and utility compa-
nies in the U.S. expressing
their concern about this.
Checkmate. The oil patch
may not have a comeback,
unless they go fl at earth
and deny the existence
of human-caused climate
change. Meanwhile, the oil
patch Titanic steams full
speed ahead – after all, it’s
unsinkable, isn’t it?

IMPAIRED DRIVING CASE HELD OVER
The case of a young man who is charged with impaired driving has been held over in Red Deer provincial court.
Tyler James Wilson, 18, of Brooks, is charged with one count of impaired driving causing death and one count of dangerous driving causing death.
His case was before the court last week and was held over to Feb. 19 where he is expected to make an elec-tion and plea.
On Nov. 2 at 3:30 a.m., the Red Deer City RCMP and Red Deer Emergency Services were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision at the in-tersection of 30th Ave. and 32nd St.
The investigation has re-vealed that an Alberta Gold Taxi was stopped at the inter-section facing northbound when a truck traveling north
rear-ended the taxi.At the time the taxi was
under hire and had a sole oc-cupant in the rear passenger seat.
The collision caused ex-tensive damage on impact to the taxicab and the truck rolled onto its side blocking the intersection.
The passenger of the taxi succumbed to his injuries on scene and the driver was transported to the Red Deer Regional Hospital where he was treated for serious in-jury.
The driver of the truck was also transported to the hospital where he was treat-ed as well.
The passenger of the taxi-cab has been identifi ed as Jonathon David Wood, 33 of Red Deer.
ARENS IN COURTRodney Arens, 36, ap-
peared in Red Deer provin-
cial court last week on charg-es that were laid against him in December in Sylvan Lake.
On Dec. 21st, Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a com-plaint of a possible impaired driver in Sylvan Lake.
Upon locating the parked and running vehicle, police located the driver, slumped over the steering wheel.
After waking the driver and speaking to him, he was arrested for impaired care or control of a motor vehicle.
Police have said after a search of the male and the vehicle, they located cash and crack cocaine and a small amount of marijuana.
Arens, of Red Deer, is facing numerous charges stemming from the incident including impaired care or control of a motor vehicle, obstructing an offi cer and resisting arrest, failing to comply with conditions and drug related charges.
Arens is scheduled to re-turn to court on Feb. 13 on these charges. He is waiting for a lawyer to be appointed for him.
In addition, Arens is await-ing trial for an incident that took place in 2010 in Red Deer.
In that incident he is charged with several infrac-tions including impaired driv-ing causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm, dangerous driving causing death, and dangerous driv-ing causing bodily harm.
He is also charged with three charges of refusing to provide a breathalyzer sample and breach of recog-nizance.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of those charges.
A trial for these matters will be held April 22 – June 20. Arens was told by the court last year that he had to be prepared to proceed for
the trial after many delays in the case.
These charges stem from a crash on Canada Day in 2010. A 13-year-old boy was killed in that crash.
He was also charged last spring with failing to com-ply and a number of Traffi c Safety Act charges including failing to hold a valid driver’s license.
MAN JAILED FOR DRUG OFFENCES
A joint investigation by the Alberta Law Enforce-ment Response Teams (ALERT) and Service Alberta led to the conviction of a Red Deer man for illegally obtain-ing and selling prescription drugs.
Jason Shawn Fraser, 39, was sentenced in Red Deer provincial court to two years of jail for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traffi cking, and double doctoring.
Double doctoring is when
a patient uses multiple medi-cal professionals to obtain the same prescription.
An investigation by ALERT’s Red Deer Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Service Alberta’s Special Investiga-tions Unit led to the arrest of Fraser on Jan. 17th.
Fraser obtained 66 pre-scriptions from more than 30 physicians since the be-ginning of last year. The street value of the drugs, including oxycodone, diaz-epam, clonazepam and mor-phine, would have exceeded $100,000.
The Red Deer Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit is an ALERT team es-tablished and funded by the Alberta government to bring together the province’s most sophisticated law enforce-ment resources to tackle serious and organized crime. Nearly 400 municipal police, RCMP and sheriffs work for ALERT.

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!”

Red Deer RCMP are
warning the public to be
aware of a telephone scam
occurring in Red Deer
and across the country, in
which scammers call peo-
ple at home claiming to be
raising money for police
programs.
In an unsuccessful at-
tempt to scam a Red Deer
citizen last week, a caller
claimed to be representing
the RCMP and other police
associations.
The telephone scam-
mer was aggressive in his
request and asked for $100
or $300, which are common
amounts for scammers of
this sort to request.
Red Deer City RCMP
would like to remind the
public that RCMP do not
solicit funds for police pro-
grams.
It is important for people
to learn to distinguish be-
tween legitimate fundrais-
ing calls and scammers.
Canadian Anti-Fraud
Centre offers the following
tips to avoid false charity
scams.
Be wary of appeals that
tug at your heart strings,
especially pleas involving
current events, and ask
for written information
about the charity, includ-
ing name, address and tele-
phone number.
A legitimate charity or
fundraiser will give you in-
formation about the char-
ity’s mission, how your
donation will be used and
proof that your contribu-
tion is tax deductible.
Also, ask the solicitor for
the registered charitable
tax number of the charity.
Question any discrepan-
cies.
Confi rm the charity’s
registration information
through the Canada Rev-
enue Agency (1-800-267-
2384). Check out the char-
ity’s fi nancial information.
For many organizations,
this information can be
found online.
Ask for identifi cation. If
the solicitor refuses to tell
you or does not have some
form of verifi able identifi -
cation, hang up or close the
door and report it to law en-
forcement offi cials.
Call the charity. Find out
if the organization is aware
of the solicitation and has
authorized the use of its
name. If not, you may be
dealing with a scam artist.
Also, watch out for simi-
lar sounding names. Some
phony charities use names
that closely resemble those
of respected, legitimate or-
ganizations.
If you notice a small dif-
ference from the name of
the charity you intend to
deal with, call the organi-
zation to check it out.
Be skeptical if someone
thanks you for a pledge you
don’t remember making.
If you have any doubts
about whether you’ve made
a pledge or previously con-
tributed, check your re-
cords. Be on the alert for
invoices claiming you’ve
made a pledge. Some un-
scrupulous solicitors use
this approach to get your
money.
Refuse high pressure ap-
peals. Legitimate fund-rais-
ers won’t push you to give
on the spot.
Finally, if you think you
or someone you know has
been a victim of a tele-
phone scam or any other
type of fraud, contact the
Canadian Anti-Fraud Cen-
tre at 1-888-495-8501 or
www.antifraudcentre.ca.
If you wish to remain
anonymous, call Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477
or report it online at www.

Police continue to search for answers in Castor fi reBY ERIN FAWCETTRed Deer Express
RCMP are turning to the
public for information in
regards to a Central Alberta
house fi re which reportedly
killed three family members
in December. The remains
of Gordon Klaus, 61 and his
daughter Monica Klaus, 40,
were found following a fi re
at the family home near Cas-
tor. Gordon’s wife, Sandra
Klaus, 62, is also believed to
have been killed in the fi re,
but police say she has not
been accounted for.
On Dec. 8 between 7:30 and
8 a.m., Coronation RCMP of-
fi cers were dispatched to as-
sist Castor and Coronation
Fire Departments to a fully
engulfed residence on Range
Road 132 in the County of
Paintearth, Alberta.
RCMP Major Crimes Unit
investigators believe the fi re
was set intentionally. Al-
though the cause and origin
is still under investigation,
police can share that on Dec.
13 the Calgary Medical Ex-
aminer’s offi ce confi rmed
that the family dog that had
been found deceased by fi rst
responders had suffered a
fatal gunshot wound.
It is believed that the
deaths of Gordon and Mon-
ica are as a result of a homi-
cide and to date, Sandra has
not been located. Investiga-
tion suggests that she was
also the victim of a homi-
cide. However, her remains
have not been located.
On Dec. 11 a 2003 white
GMC Sierra truck, associ-
ated to the Klaus farm, was
abandoned at the intersec-
tion of Hwy. 36 and Town-
ship Road 400, in the County
of Paintearth. The police be-
lieve the vehicle was utilized
by the person or persons re-
sponsible for the fi re.
Red Deer Regional Search
and Rescue and RCMP Po-
lice Dog Services conducted
an extensive ground search
where the white 2003 GMC
Sierra truck was recovered.
Police are asking if any-
one was in that area on
the evening of Dec. 8 and
remembers seeing the
abandoned vehicle to call

BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
Local audiences will have the oppor-
tunity this weekend to take in a fi lm that
explores the urgent need to bolster educa-
tional opportunities for girls in developing
countries.
Chris Smith, a local volunteer for World
Vision, has arranged for the screening of
Girl Rising this Saturday at Carnival Cin-
ema, starting at 10 a.m.
“I think most people have heard about
Malala (Yousafzai), the young Pakistani
girl that was shot because she wanted to
advocate for education for all girls. This
fi lm follows up on that – it’s the story of
nine different girls in countries around the
world who are recalling the terrible lives
they’ve had, and how education helped
them rise above it.
“If we educate them, their lives will be
better and the lives of their families will be
better,” she said. “Eventually their towns,
their countries and the world will be a bet-
ter place because of giving education to ev-
erybody, not just boys.”
Smith added that the powerful fi lm has
also been screened at the Toronto Interna-
tional Film Festival.
“World Vision picked up on it and men-
tioned it to all of their volunteers and said
they were trying to promote it,” she ex-
plained.
World Vision offi cials also said that if
anyone was interested in hosting a screen-
ing in their community, that the organi-
zation would do what they could to help
make such events happen.
Smith said there are some 66 million
children around the world who aren’t in
school. And 235 million women in Asia
who are illiterate.
She added that she immediately was in-
terested in bringing the fi lm to Red Deer,
and has been organizing and promoting
the event since. Community support has
been solid as well, she said.
From Academy Award-nominated di-
rector Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising
journeys around the globe to witness the
strength of the human spirit and the pow-
er of education to change the world.
As the web site points out, viewers get
to know nine unforgettable girls living in
the developing world - ordinary girls who
confront tremendous challenges and over-
come nearly impossible odds to pursue
their dreams.
Prize-winning authors put the girls’
remarkable stories into words, and re-
nowned actors give them voice.
According to the Girl Rising web site, ed-
ucating girls can break cycles of poverty in
just one generation. “Educated girls stand
up for their rights, marry and have chil-
dren later, educate their own children and
their families and communities thrive.”
Yet as already mentioned, millions of
girls around the world face barriers to edu-
cation that boys do not.
“Removing barriers such as early mar-
riage, gender-based violence, domestic
slavery and sex traffi cking means not only
a better life for girls, but a safer, healthier
and more prosperous world for all.”
Tens of millions of people have already
seen the fi lm in theaters, on television and
at private events and are spreading its mes-
sage throughout communities of all kinds
–raising both awareness and funds, offi -
cials say.
Donations to the Girl Rising Fund mea-
sure more than $2.1 million to date, and
organizations everywhere are using the
fi lm to raise money for their own girls’
programs. On the local front, Smith said at
this Saturday’s screening, there will also
be information about opportunities to sup-
port children via World Vision, or about
becoming a World Vision volunteer in this

As Valentine’s Day approaches, Red
Deer RCMP are warning the public to be
aware of Internet romance scams. In ro-
mance scams, a victim is contacted by
someone online through social media or
a legitimate dating web site. The victim
and the scammer begin an online relation-
ship where the scammer lures the victim
with pictures, promises and claims of love.
Eventually the scammer will tell tales of
hardship and ask the victim to send money
to the scammer. After the scammer gets
all the money they can from the victim,
the scammer drops all communication,
leaving the victim dumbfounded, hurt,
confused and out a lot of money. In these
situations, the money is rarely recovered.
In 2011, Canadians lost over $12 million
to Internet romance scammers. This scam
has also led to instances of suicide in cases
where victims have lost their life savings
and been emotionally devastated. RCMP
believe the impact of Internet romance
scams is even higher than what is report-
ed, as many victims are too embarrassed
to report this type of crime to police.
Police warn about Internet romance scams
Tips to avoid Internet romance scams:
· Check web site addresses carefully. Scammers often set up fake web sites
with very similar addresses to legitimate dating web sites.
· Never send money or give credit card or online account details to anyone you
do not know and trust.
· Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when chatting online.
· Make sure you only use legitimate and reputable dating web sites.
· Ask yourself, would someone you have never met really declare their love for
you after only a few emails or letters?
If you think you or someone you know has been a victim of an Internet romance scam
or any other type of fraud contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre 1-888-495-8501 or
www.antifraudcentre.ca.
Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or re-
port it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

THEFT OF TAILGATES FROM TRUCKS
Red Deer City RCMP are investigating a series of thefts of tailgates from trucks. In January, four truck tailgates were stolen in Red Deer with thefts taking place in hotel and restaurant park-ing lots, at residences and at vehicle repair shops.
Tailgate thefts are becom-ing more common across Alberta, and newer model trucks are the most com-mon targets. Sixteen thefts of tailgates occurred in Red Deer in 2013.
Most trucks come with a tailgate lock; RCMP advise truck owners to use the lock at all times, and further ad-vise all vehicle owners to make a habit of locking ve-hicles, parking in well-lit ar-eas whenever possible, and removing all valuables from their vehicles.
Anyone with information that may assist the police in investigating tailgate thefts is asked to call Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575. If you wish to remain anony-mous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
MAN SOUGHT AFTER INDECENT ACTS
Red Deer City RCMP is requesting the public’s as-sistance in identifying a sus-pect they believe to be linked to two separate indecent acts that took place on Jan. 17 and Jan. 19.
At 6:15 p.m. on Jan. 17, as a 30-year-old woman was about to enter her vehicle in the Parkland Mall parking lot, an unknown male ap-proached her with his pants down and his genitals ex-posed. The victim confronted him loudly and the suspect ran away.
At 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 19, as a 53-year-old woman was walking in the area of 59 St. and 54 Ave., an un-known male approached her with his genitals exposed. When the victim used her cell phone to call police, the suspect fl ed; he was seen running southbound along a bike path toward downtown Red Deer. Immediate patrols by RCMP did not locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, about 5”10’ tall and 160 to 180 lbs, with a slim build. He has dark brown hair, brown eyes and was wearing a dark grey or brown toque and a grey pull-over with black sleeves. He was also wearing blue jeans and black shoes.
Anyone with information
that may assist the police in identifying this suspect is asked to call Red Deer City RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.
MAN CHARGED AFTER ARMED ROBBERY

Jackson has been charged with robbery, using a fi rearm in commission of an offense, using a disguise during com-mitment of an indictable of-fense and failing to comply with undertaking.
CHARGES LAID IN BANK BREAK-IN
Red Deer City RCMP have
identifi ed and charged the individual responsible for the Jan. 13 break-in at TD Cana-da Trust Bank.

GAS LEAK IN PENHOLDNo injuries were reported
as a result of a gas leak in Penhold earlier this month.
On Feb. 5 at 2:36 p.m. Pen-hold fi re crews responded to 144 Lincoln St. for reports of a natural gas leak. Upon ar-rival with the assistance of ATCO Gas, crews located a leak on the west side of the building.
Penhold Fire crews se-cured a perimeter around the leak and also closed Lin-
coln St. to all traffi c with the assistance of Penhold com-munity peace offi cers.
Residents along Lin-coln St. as well as the staff of the Jessie Duncan School were notifi ed of the situation and were asked to avoid the area.
ATCO Gas quickly con-tained the leak and the cause is currently under investiga-tion.
Penhold Fire crews were on scene for approximately one and a half hours and there were no injuries result-ing from this incident.

LOTTO WINNER IN RED DEER
Imagine being so stunned by a lottery win you had to get a second opinion, then a third, then a fourth.
Eugene Soosay was so surprised by his good for-tune he had to check his ticket six times. His LOTTO
MAX ticket won $286,514.50 recently.
Soosay took his ticket to be checked the day after his lucky draw on Jan. 17, and couldn’t believe what he saw.
“I was stunned, just amazed,” he said.
In fact, he was so amazed, he took it to another store to check. And over the next few
days, he checked it again and again. His ticket matched six out of seven and the Bonus on a Quick Pick line of his Advance Play ticket - 9, 12, 18, 32, 35, 38, and 40. He bought the ticket for the Jan. 10 and 18 draws at Fas Gas West Park Service located at 4305-55 Ave. in Red Deer.
He plans to help family
and maybe take a trip to Ve-gas with his winnings.

BUILDING PERMIT VALUES UP IN JANUARY
This year started off strong with an increase in residential and industrial permit values, while com-mercial and public sector values were down from the same period last year.
Contributing to the strong residential permit values is an apartment complex locat-ed on 22 St., issued to Sey-mour Pacifi c Developments, valued at $6,806,570.
Industrial permit values were aided by a permit val-ued at $1,914,580 issued to Camdon Construction Ltd. for an industrial renova-tion in Edgar Industrial Park and a permit issued to Tim-con Construction, valued at $1,113,750 for tenant im-provements on 45 Ave. Cl.
PLOW AND WINDROWING TO WRAP UP IN MARCH
Snow plowing is expected to wrap up in the fi rst week of March despite delays from ice build-up on streets.
“Plowing and removing
snow from Priority 4 routes, which include collectors, transit routes, and resi-dential streets adjacent to schools, are approximately 90 per cent complete,” said Public Works Manager Greg Sikora.
“When we fi nish Priority 4’s, these resources will shift their attention to the Prior-ity 6 routes, which are all other residential streets. The increase in resources to pri-ority 6 routes will speed up the snowing and windrowing process substantially.”
Currently, priority 6 resi-dential routes are approxi-mately 20% complete. The City needs residents to move vehicles off the streets when the snow plow signs are placed in their neighbour-hoods to reduce the amount of delays. “Plowing opera-tions go smoother when there are fewer cars to work around, so we appreciate ev-eryone’s cooperation,” Siko-ra said. “While this plow will take longer than the original-ly projected 40 days, we are on target to fi nish up in the fi rst week of March, weather permitting.”
Residents are reminded to drive according to road and weather conditions and to keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in from of you. The City continues to work on sanding the icy areas, but with the low tem-peratures, the effectiveness of sanding is a challenge.
Residents can get up-to-date information at www.reddeer.ca, by calling 403-342-8238, or following the City on facebook and Twitter.

For Vanessa Higgins-
Nogareda, her recent trip
to Kenya was not just a
chance to provide medical
aid to children in a develop-
ing country; it was also a
homecoming.
Higgins-Nogareda, a
nurse in the anticoagula-
tion department of Red
Deer Regional Hospital,
and her husband Gustavo
Nogareda, a cardiologist
at the hospital, recently
returned from a visit to
southwestern Kenya late
last year with the Lacombe-
based A Better World medi-
cal team.
The team visited com-
munities supported by A
Better World and worked
with local medical staff
to provide care that local
people would not otherwise
receive.
It was the fi rst trip to the
African country for Gus-
tavo, but Higgins-Nogareda
was returning to the coun-
try where she spent her
early years.
Her parents, veterinar-
ian Dr. Pat and Grace Hig-
gins, from Canada, took her
to Africa when she was just
three-months-old, then re-
turned to Canada when she
was four (her sister Alanna
was born there).
They worked a year and
a half with the Turkana
tribes near the town of
Lodwar, then spent four
years at Maji Moto working
with the Masai people near
the town of Narok.
They ran a health dis-
pensary and much more,
building a school, water
dams, irrigation systems
and providing whatever as-
sistance they could to the
local people.
“At the time, our life
seemed perfectly ordinary,
but looking back I have so
much respect and pride
for what my parents did,”
said Higgins-Nogareda.
“They sacrifi ced years of
their lives to serve others
in need.”
She has vivid memories
of her childhood in Africa
despite her young age.
“I remember playing
with my dolls and the local
Kenyan kids.
“They were fascinated
with my blonde hair, which
they thought looked like a
cow’s tail.”
There were bouncy jour-
neys by Landrover and mo-
torcycle, and long walks on
the savannah among the
acacia trees.
Unlike most Canadian
kids, she also grew up with
the threat of wild animals,
and once found a zebra leg
in the front yard – a lion’s
leftovers from the night be-
fore.
“I had decided one night
to visit a friend on my own.
When my mother found me
she said, ‘Vanessa you can’t
go walking by yourself at
night or the hyenas will eat
you!’”
After the medical tour,
Higgins-Nogareda’s family
joined the couple to renew
their acquaintance with
their former homes, they
said.
“It was very special for
my parents to reunite with
the people in Maji Moto.
People remembered them
and the impact they had on
the village.”
Despite her family’s
work, the community still
has many needs, she stress-
es.
“For example, children
walk up to 15 kilometres
to get to school; they need
bunk beds for the dormi-
tory so the kids can stay
overnight.”
Nogareda added that do-
ing medical aid abroad was
a long awaited dream for
the couple.
“I was thrilled by the
chance to work with the A
Better World team in such a
remote area with profound
needs.”
He said ABW co-founder
Eric Rajah and medical
team leaders and Dr. Ray
and Deryl Comeau created
an inspiring atmosphere
that was fun and produc-
tive.
“I was so touched by the
story of a 14-year-old boy
with cerebral palsy who
could not walk,” said Noga-
reda.
“His family brought him
by scooter and his mother
carried him on her back to
see us. They so desperately
wanted to help him,” he
added.
A Better World is a Cen-
tral Alberta-based interna-
tional development organi-
zation that is managed and
supported by a group of
volunteers.
The organization has
been improving lives in
developing countries for
more than 20 years and
contiously sends groups
to visit a range of projects
abroad.

Kick it up a notch
Alberta Health Services (AHS) recently
released new performance measures that
will help Albertans easily understand how
the province’s health system is perform-
ing.
The 16 new measures refl ect a better bal-
ance across the spectrum of health care
and better show health system perfor-
mance.
The recent an-
nouncement follows
several months of
planning and consulta-
tion with stakeholders,
including clinicians,
which led to a decision
to streamline previ-
ously reported perfor-
mance measures so
they are easier to un-
derstand and interpret.
“We worked with
stakeholders to develop
performance targets
that will be challenging, yet achievable,”
said Dr. John Cowell, AHS offi cial admin-
istrator. “Where possible, we also added
measures that align with national stan-
dards because Albertans want to know
how our ability to take care of them com-
pares to other health services in Canada.”
The newly revised measures are also
designed to be more balanced and include
measures for acute care, community-based
care, and better patient outcomes in the
areas of seniors care, mental health and
cancer care. Indicators focus on long-term
care, continuing care placement, early
cancer detection and mental health re-
admissions, emergency department wait
times, emergency room wait times, and in-
cidences of strokes and heart attacks.
The measures support the overall stra-
tegic direction of AHS,
and are aligned with
the Alberta Quality
Matrix for Health, of-
fi cials said. They are
based on AHS’ most
up-to-date annual per-
formance (2012-13).
Results for the fi scal
year ending March 31,
2014, will be provided
in July.
The performance
measures refl ect a
goal and standard to
be achieved over time
and targets have been set for two consecu-
tive years. The next update for this per-
formance report is planned for July and
will be based on 2013/14 information. At
that time, the performance measures will
include information at local levels and
descriptions of actions for improvement.
As needed, the measures and targets will
evolve over time to refl ect current priori-
ties and progress.
- Fawcett
“WHERE POSSIBLE, WE ALSO ADDED MEASURES
THAT ALIGN WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS BECAUSE
ALBERTANS WANT TO KNOW HOW OUR ABILITY TO TAKE
CARE OF THEM COMPARES TO OTHER HEALTH SERVICES IN
CANADA.”
DR. JOHN COWELL

yme DiseaseBY: AL EVANS

293 Burnt Park DriveRed Deer County403-347-0277 www.o2xy-wellness.com
Find us on:
@HyperbaricAl
HBOT to Treat Lyme DiseaseLyme disease consists of spirochetes which are invasive bacteria. Spirochetes have a head on both ends, allowing them the ability to burrow into the organ or muscle and sporactically change direction causing further damage. They also have the ability to take on the protein covering of one’s body, thereby disguising it from the body’s defense mechanisms. The spirochetes do not like 100% oxygen under a deep pressure. The deep pressure forces the oxygen into the fl uids of the body as well as the tissues of the muscles and organs. It is even more effective when the spirochetes are going through their reproductive cycle and that is when we hit them hard. Spirochetes, on the other hand can survive and multiply in a slightly higher (than room air) oxygen content with a lower pressure. Some will be killed, but the survivors will get used to the oxygen and thrive. When treating Lyme disease in a hyperbaric chamber with 100% oxygen at a deeper ATA it is recommended that you are diligent with your treatments and make the commitment to at least be able to catch the spirochetes during at least two of the cycles and, what was not destroyed during the fi rst will hopefully be killed during the second cycle.

This is only a summary of some of the main points regarding this topic. It is important that you work with a designated accountant to properly assure that your specifi c situation is handled properly.

INFORMATION ON REGISTERED RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN’S (RRSP’S)
You may deduct on your tax return amounts that you contribute to your own RRSP, or to an RRSP for your spouse or common-law partner. The maximum amount that you can contribute each year is shown on your Notice of Assessment from your previous year’s tax return. It is based on your previous year’s earned income and any unused amounts may be carried forward and used in future years. Contributions may be made to an RRSP until the end of the year in which you turn 71. When you make a contribution in the fi rst 60 days of the year you have the option of using it to reduce income in the previous year, or to use it against income in the year in which you made the contribution.
The amount invested grows tax-free until it is withdrawn from the RRSP at which time it is included in your income for the year in which it was withdrawn. Because RRSP contributions reduce your income, it is most effective to make contributions during a year in which your income is in a higher tax bracket, and make a withdrawal in a year in which your income is in a lower tax bracket.

WHAT IS A FOOT ORTHOTIC?A foot orthotic is a brace that can be discreetly inserted into the shoe to support, align, prevent and/or correct foot deformities and improve foot function. Used in conjunction with appropriate footwear, a foot orthotic can be effective in helping to treat a number of foot problems, including heel, arch and forefoot pain, as well as pain and complications related to health conditions such as diabetes and arthritis. There are two basic types of foot orthotics: over-the-counter and custom-made.
WHO NEEDS A FOOT ORTHOTIC?If required, all ages can benefi t from a foot orthotic. From mild discomfort in the ball of the foot from such conditions as metatarsalgia, to severe problems including diabetic foot ulcers, a foot orthotic can help a wide range of patients.
A detailed assessment from an orthotic and footwear expert such as a Canadian Certifi ed Pedorthist can confi rm if a foot orthotic will assist a patient with a particular foot, leg, or even back problem.

Hot Tub MaintenanceIt’s just science -Because not all of us excel in science there are many “misconception EASY fi xes”. Health Canada recognizes only 2 forms of sanitizer that will ensure consumers are bathing in a bacteria free environment.
Maintenance is important - we maintain our vehicles to ensure we are not going to be left stranded. A regularly maintained hot tub protects you from bacteria and your equipment from unnecessary wear.Reputable hot tub dealerships will have trained employees that will fi nd the best solution for your family and needs. Water testing done at a dealership should include, the analysis, a print out for your records and a consultation about what products to use, the amount required and why they are needed. Is maintenance diffi cult? No - 15 minutes every week you use the hot tub is all that is required. Questions? Just call we’d be happy to answer them.

Another Olympics is now
well underway at Sochi.
The world is watching
this sports spectacle, with
all of its triumphs, split-
second fi nishes and heart-
breaking losses.
Most of all, the Olym-
pics provides a chance to
watch incredibly dedicated
athletes as they strive for
a medal or best fi nish, not
only for themselves, but
also for the countries they
represent. The fi rst from
our community to compete
in an Olympics was Marcia
Parsons Beckner.
She was one of several
fi rst-class speedskaters
from Red Deer, who trained
and competed with the Red
Deer Lions Speedskating
Club. She earned the hon-
our of competing in the 1968
Winter Olympics in Greno-
ble, France.
Another person from
Red Deer, who made an im-
portant contribution to the
Olympics, but is not well
remembered, was William
John (W.J.) McLean.
W.J. McLean was born
in Wellington County, On-
tario. After teaching school
in Ontario, he decided to try
the prospects of the western
Canadian frontier. He got a
job in 1899 teaching at the
Springvale School, south-
east of Red Deer. He also
took up farming.
In 1904, he married El-
sie Cole, whose family had
homesteaded in Springvale
in 1889. They were to have
three daughters.
In 1904, he also be-
came the principal of the
Red Deer Public School,
which only consisted of
four rooms at the time. He
quickly became renowned
as an excellent teacher and
administrator, as well as a
strict disciplinarian.
He put a strong emphasis
on sports as an important
part of education. He was
interested in football (soc-
cer), track and fi eld, and
boxing. He helped to found
the Red Deer and District
Football (Soccer) League.
He also organized the Red
Deer High School team.
That team became so
strong that it won the Ruth-
erford Cup, the Alberta
provincial championship
trophy for high school and
collegiate soccer.
Just before the First
World War, McLean was ap-
pointed as a school inspec-
tor in east Central Alberta.
He helped to organize some
of the earliest athletic fi eld
days in the region. He be-
came active in the Alberta
Branch of the Amateur
Athletics Union of Canada
and served as president.
His most impressive ac-
complishments came in the
realm of boxing. He was a
judge at several Dominion
Boxing championships. In
1932, he was an offi cial at
the Olympics in Los Ange-
les. In 1936, he became the
assistant boxing coach in
the Canadian trials leading
up to the Berlin Olympics.
He was appointed as an
Olympic boxing judge and
was the only boxing offi cial
to represent Canada at the
Berlin games.
In 1939, in recognition of
his provincial, national and
international work on be-
half of the Olympic move-
ment, McLean was made
an honorary life member
of the Canadian Olympic
Committee.
He remained active in the
promotion of sports and
recreation in Red Deer. He
was one of the founders of
the Red Deer Athletic As-
sociation, which was later
reorganized as the Red Deer
Recreation Commission
and then as the Red Deer
Recreation Department.
In 1960, McLean was hon-
oured with the offi cial nam-
ing of the McLean Athletic
Field, south of the Central
School complex. He passed
away on March 19, 1962.

Porcine Epidemic Diar-
rhea, or PED, is a malady
that has recently crossed
the border from the United
States into Canada. As the
disease is 100% fatal to pig-
lets within fi ve weeks of
birth, pork producers are
doing whatever they can
to contain the disease and
prevent it from spreading
any further.
To that effect, Alberta
Pork is holding a number
of workshops to inform
farmers about the disease
and tell them what can
be done to prevent it. Will
Kingma, a hog farmer in
the Bentley area who rep-
resents the central zone on
the Alberta Pork Board of
Directors, said the object
is to give pork producers as
much information as pos-
sible.
He added that he and
two of his staff were at the
most recent workshop held
in Red Deer and it was very
well attended.
Kingma said the goal be-
hind the awareness cam-
paign is to keep PED off of
Alberta farms. He added
the best way to do that is to
closely monitor hog trans-
port trucks coming into
farms to make sure they
have been cleaned and dis-
infected.
Transport trucks pose
the biggest risk of spread-
ing PED, said Kingma.
PED spreads among pigs
mostly through contact
with manure. If infected
pigs have been in a trans-
port trailer, it will be con-
taminated with feces carry-
ing the disease.
Even if the trailer is
cleaned the virus can sur-
vive, said Kingma. He add-
ed that this time of year is
the prime season for the
disease as it can survive in
sub-zero temperatures and
spreads even in freezing
temperatures.
Currently, the only in-
stances of PED in Canada
have been limited to Ontar-
io, and Alberta Pork is hop-
ing it stays that way. Luck-
ily, there are few transport
trucks that travel between
eastern and western Cana-
da, said Kingma.
However, there are
plenty of traffi c running
north and south over the
Canadian-U.S. border and
there are many more cases
of PED in the States, said
Kingma. He added that
PED coming into Canada
has heightened awareness
about the disease and cre-
ated an environment to
spread the message of pre-
vention.
“Producers are really lis-
tening because they realize
how close it is to home.”
An ideal way to combat
the spread of PED would be
to have wash stations close
to the border on the Cana-
dian side where transports
could be washed, disinfect-
ed, dried and audited soon
after crossing the boarder
from the U.S.
PED affects adult and im-
mature pigs alike, but it is
most dangerous to piglets.
Kingma said the young
hogs cannot recover from
the dehydration brought on
by the watery diarrhea the
disease causes.
PED poses no health risk
to humans, but that doesn’t
mean that humans will not
suffer any negative impact
should the disease contin-
ue to spread.
Kingma said the disease
has the potential to devas-
tate hog herds to the point
where farmers may be
forced to go out of business.
For consumers, he said
that it could affect the
availability of pork prod-
ucts, many of which are al-
ready under-supplied. Such
a shortage could also drive
up the prices of pork prod-
ucts, said Kingma.
Alberta Pork will be con-
tinuing to host educational
workshops in February
and March. The next dates
in Central Alberta are Feb.
20 and March 19. the work-
shops on both dates will be
held from 9:30 a.m. until
noon at the Holiday Inn.

Spring’s on the way - Pick your unit nowSpring’s on the way - Pick your unit now
A research trip to Rome in
2009 led to an exciting discovery
for Dr. Alison Jeppesen, a learn-
ing designer at Red Deer College,
who found a rare inscription on a
gravestone. Jeppesen was at the
National Museum of Rome, con-
ducting research on classical in-
scriptions of women recorded in
the fi rst through fourth centuries.
The research and scholarship
surrounding her discovery has
garnered Jeppesen the 2013 Award
for Best Oral Paper presented by
a Post-PhD scholar for ‘Aurelia
Philematium and Maria Auxesis:
Kept Woman or Wife?’ The pa-
per was given at the 144th annual
meeting of the American Philo-
logical Association in Seattle with
the award presented at the 145th
meeting in Chicago.
“I was conducting research for
my dissertation in Italy at the time
to compare the inscriptional and
literary view of women in ancient
Rome,” said Jeppesen who earned
her PhD in 2010. “The inscription
I came across was not well known
in North America and it was a
trigger for the paper I presented at
the conference, which challenges
the long-held assumptions about
women and how they were catego-
rized and viewed in antiquity.”
Jeppesen’s primary role at RDC
is as a learning designer in the
Centre for Teaching and Learn-
ing. She teaches in the Excellence
in Teaching and Learning certifi -
cate program for faculty at the col-
lege where she supports instruc-
tors at RDC, regardless of length
of service, to develop and grow
as instructors. A key aspect of
the program is the integration of
scholarly research into teaching
practice. Ongoing research and
curiosity about the Humanities
and Arts undertaken by RDC fac-
ulty and staff bring unique con-
text to the classroom that helps
create a well-rounded foundation
for further study.
“We have inherited a lot of the
biases and beliefs from classical
thinking, and it’s important to be
aware of those assumptions and
views in our present day,” said
Jeppesen. “Humanities and social
science research impacts our cul-
ture and helps us understand the
context of why we know what we
know and enables us to be more
independent thinkers.”
Jeppesen’s latest scholarly
work on Roman culture is fea-
tured in the new textbook Themes
in Roman Society and Culture
published in 2014 by Oxford Uni-
versity Press. She received her
award and a cash prize in early
January 2014.

Red Deer College has been selected as a
fi nalist for the Alberta Business Awards of
Distinction in the Aboriginal Relations –
Best Practice category.
Red Deer College was nominated for its
collaborative approach to offer program-
ming options for Aboriginal youth and to
increase opportunity and
access to education for Ab-
original learners.
In 2012 and 2013, Red
Deer College partnered
with the Sunchild First
Nation community to offer
apprenticeship program-
ming to high school and
adult members.
“There is a growing
need for skilled trades
throughout the region, so
it’s critical that we create
opportunities to increase
access to relevant training
to meet industry need,”
says Joel Ward, president
and CEO of RDC.
“Our partnership with
Sunchild First Nation was
an innovative way to help
Aboriginal learners ex-
plore career possibilities,”
he said.
The program was delivered at the Sun-
child First Nation School and instructors
taught students skills in both welding and
carpentry.
The training also included hands-on
learning on campus at Red Deer College so
the students could explore further trades
education, learn about other Red Deer Col-
lege programs and experience college life
fi rst hand.
Due to the success of the Sunchild proj-
ect, offi cials at Red Deer College have
explored a range of trades training op-
portunities with other First Nations com-
munities which have included Ermineskin
Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, Louis
Bull Tribe and O’Chiese First Nation.
“We are committed to helping Aborigi-
nal students transition smoothly into post-
secondary studies,” says Shelley Ralston,
chair of Red Deer College’s board of gov-
ernors.
“We will continue to
fi nd unique ways to de-
liver training that equips
aboriginal students for the
workforce and also helps
learners overcome barri-
ers,” she added.
Red Deer College has
worked with other First
nations groups such as the
Metis Nation of Alberta,
O’Chiese First Nation and
the Montana First Nation
to prepare individuals to
enter apprenticeship, up-
grading math, science and
reading skills to challenge
Alberta’s Apprenticeship
and Industry Training en-
trance exam.
Each year, a number
of select companies from
across the province are
chosen as fi nalists in the
Alberta Business Awards of Distinction.
Red Deer College is the only post-second-
ary institution in the province nominated
for an Alberta Business Award this year.
As a result of the nomination, Red Deer
College will also be considered for the Pre-
mier’s Award of Distinction.
The awards will be announced at a gala
dinner on Feb. 28 at the Radisson Hotel Ed-
monton South.
For more information about the pro-
gram or the awards, please go to the Alber-
ta Business Awards of Distinction web site
at www.abbusinessawards.com to learn

Like any part of the body, the
human voice can be trained.
It’s something not a lot of
people realize, but something
Lacombe voice instructor Mel-
rose Randell has been doing
for most of her life. Randell
said she never expected she
would have her own private
music studio, but today in-
structing music is something
she enjoys immensely.
“I enjoy so much about
teaching. I enjoy, I think, every
aspect of it.”
For Randell, music was al-
ways more of a hobby than a
profession. Although she is
now semi-retired, teaching
music is something she contin-
ues to do as it gives her plea-
sure.
“I just feel like I’m doing
something very meaning-
ful when I teach singing and
it gives me a lot of joy at this
point in my life.”
Born in Jamaica, Randell
grew up in a culture deeply
immersed in music. As such,
Randell started singing from a
very young age.
“In Jamaica, music is very
important.”
While Randell enjoyed sing-
ing, she never imagined that
she would grow up to become
a voice teacher. She had no vi-
sions of pursuing any kind of
career in music, but sang sim-
ply because it was what people
did.
As an adult, Randell studied
music in addition to pursuing
a Bachelor of Arts in English,
but only as a hobby. Instead of
music, she decided on a career
in education.
While music was only a
hobby to her, Randell did enjoy
singing and wanted to take it
as far as she could. Therefore
she took voice exams as part
of her study and continued to
advance her abilities.
After awhile, Randell found
that she had taken her voice
lessons as far as she could. So,
she worked towards a diploma
in music and took an exam to
become a specialist in training
the voice.
At that time, she was al-
ready teaching English at the
University of the West Indies
in Jamaica. And as music was
only a hobby, Randell never
taught voice until she came
to Canada and began teaching
in Rocky Mountain House in
1976.
In 1980, she was living in La-
combe and teaching at what
was then Camille J. Lerouge
Catholic High School in Red
Deer.
At that time, the school had
no music choir or music pro-
gram.
That discovery was a bit of
a culture shock to Randell.
Being from Jamaica, she had
diffi culty understanding how
the school could have no music
and she decided to remedy it,
starting a choral program at
the school in 1980.
Through her work with the
choir, Randell gained a few
voice students who would stay
after school for extra help with
their training. She said it was
what really got her started as a
music instructor.
When she retired from
teaching in school in 1997,
Randell looked for something
to occupy herself with. She
came up with the idea of hav-
ing a more permanent studio
and teaching music.
So, she set up a studio and
started teaching. She taught in
both Red Deer and Lacombe up
until last year and now teaches
solely in Lacombe.
As Randell still wants to
enjoy her retirement, she
only teaches three days a
week, from Tuesday through
Thursday. However, she has
many students and has very
full days on the ones she does
teach music.

Right on the heels of releasing his latest
EP, singer Matt Webb performs at the Me-
morial Centre March 23.
If Webb’s debut as a solo artist with
2011’s Coda and Jacket presented seven
sides of the Vancouver-based musician,
from the ‘80s guitar pop of Cinnamon to
the irresistible snap of Bad Girl, this year’s
project is more direct in its approach.
“You just have a mix of songs. It’s pop
stuff; it’s rock stuff; and you haven’t really
found your stride yet. With this record, I
had a really clear idea of how I wanted it
to sound.
“I just used one or two guitars on the
whole thing; the same drum set up, the
same guitar set up; and a really organic
feel to it.”
After wrapping up his touring schedule
with Marianas Trench, Webb headed to Ar-
moury Studios with producer and co-writer
Kevin ‘Kevvy Mental’ Maher, drummer Al
Glassford, bassist Peter Davyduck, pianist
Andrew Belson plus four new songs that
take a turn from the level of precision, plan-
ning, and craft that the Trench exudes.
“Over the years I’ve had some stuff
brewing inside that wasn’t necessarily
Marianas Trench sounding, so recording
on your own is just another little creative
outlet,” he explains. “Since the release of
my fi rst EP Coda and Jacket, I’ve had near-
ly three years of new experiences to draw
from. Both Marianas and personal life left
me with plenty of inspiration.
“I wanted to hear more mistakes, I want-
ed it to be raw,” he explained. “It’s a differ-
ent genre.”
His intent is made clear in the title track
Right Direction, a straightforward pop
tune that coasts along with an attractive
and catchy accessibility.
“That track in particular - we went for
a kind of Tom Petty feel to it, and I told
Al, ‘No cymbals allowed in this song!’ It’s
sort of an atypical approach but it helps to
build some suspense.”
Webb added that the Kevvy-coined,
“Matt Webb rule of simplicity’ became a
running joke in the studio.
Heartbreakers kicks things off with a
compelling, acoustic simplicity bolstered
by a hooky chorus. Webb sounds perfectly
at home in the stripped-down wall of sound
enriched by a terrifi c acoustic guitar line.
123 offers Webb a crystal-clear showcase
for his vocal ability as well.
Webb’s love for music was born early on.
His folks put him in piano lessons when he
was very young. “As I became more aware
of things, I picked up the guitar because I
thought it looked really cool,” he adds with
a laugh. Stints in bands and choirs fol-
lowed as his teen years passed.
“I’ve always had the musical bug. My
immediate family wasn’t super musical
but my grandfather was a big inspiration
of mine. He taught me a lot about the piano
– he had the gene.”
He eventually ended up studying science
at the University of British Columbia,
while juggling an increasingly busy music
career on the side. But it was challenging
to apply himself fully to both worlds.
“At the time we were working in this
beautiful studio in Vancouver and on the
fl oor above us, R.E.M. was actually record-
ing. I was sitting in the lobby studying
chemistry. Michael Stipe came walking in
and asked me what I was doing – my jaw
dropped. I said I was studying for school,
and he said ‘You got to pick one or the oth-
er, man’. So it was right then I decided I’m
out of here – it was music from then on.”
Marianas Trench has opened all kinds
of doors for Webb, and he counts his band-
mates as a solid source of support. He’s
perfectly free to craft his own music as well
as pouring his heart and soul into Trench’s
extraordinary projects.
As for his latest offering, Webb and Ma-
her built a studio in his parent’s house to
complete work on the EP. It’s like a full-cir-
cle kind of thing – back in the space where
so many dreams of musical ambitions
were sparked. Memories of his dad yell-
ing upstairs to keep it down would surface
now and then, he laughs.
“My goal was to create a cohesive and
organic sounding record, something that
I could crank in my car while driving at
night - that’s it. I can’t wait to share this
stuff with as many people as possible.”
He’s grateful for the fans as well – and
their growing support for his various mu-
sical explorations. “As long as I keep get-
ting those smiles and having that support
– it’s a lot of fun.”
Meanwhile, being a part of a popular
band and then hitting the road on your
own certainly presents its challenges, but
Webb is up to the task.
“I’m used to rocking it on a stage in front
of a sea of people, and I’ve got Josh to lean
on and he sort of carries the show,” he ex-
plains of Marianas Trench’s typical mode
of operation in terms of touring.
“But I’m excited. I’ve defi nitely been
standing in front of the mirror practicing
my rock and roll looks.”
COOL SOUNDS – Singer/guitarist Matt Webb is thrilled to be hitting the road in support of his newly-released EP Right Direction. He plays Red Deer March 23. photo submitted

Lots of action in RDC’s The Three Musketeers
The Monuments Men is a
pleasant, enjoyable, but cu-
riously unaffecting movie.
It is based on the real story
of a group of art historians
and artists tasked with sav-
ing art, including sculptures
and even buildings, in dan-
ger of being destroyed by
the Nazis during the Second
World War. And yes, a cou-
ple of them even died doing
it, according to this Holly-
woodization of the events.
It’s not often you get a
high powered cast like this
together. It includes George
Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill
Murray, Hugh Bonneville
(from Downton Abbey)
and even Cate Blanchett
as a Parisian who knows
what the Germans are do-
ing. There are some dra-
matic sequences, a little
bit of wartime humour and
even a shade of romance,
although it’s hard to be-
lieve Damon turning down
a night of passion in Paris
with Blanchett.
The script lets down the
story and the actors. While
many individual sequences
work very nicely, there is no
overall cohesion here. It’s
more a series of vignettes
combined with pro-Amer-
ican jingoisms and blatant
attempts to tug your heart
strings. For example, the
scene where Bill Murray is
having a shower and buddy
Bob Balaban plays a record
of Murray’s family wishing
him Merry Christmas over
the camp PA system.
Clooney also directed, co-
scripted and co-produced
with Grant Heslov, but con-
sidering the acting talent
involved and an intriguing,
but little known story, this
should be a much better
movie. One reviewer de-
scribed it as Ocean’s Elev-
en meets The Dirty Dozen.

Art that is worth dying for
BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
From the fi rst look at
Ian Martens’ terrifi cally-
designed set for Red Deer
College’s rendition of The
Three Musketeers, it’s clear
audiences are in for a unique
theatrical experience.
All kinds of set pieces
hang from the ceiling, mesh-
ing with the elaborately
designed and extremely ef-
fi cient stage arrangements
– it speaks of a unique vision
and serves as an inviting en-
try into Alexandre Dumas’
classic story that’s packed
with strong performances
and swashbuckling drama.
The production is cur-
rently running through to
Feb. 15 on the Arts Centre
mainstage, with curtain at
7:30 p.m. A weekend matinee
is slated for Feb. 15 at 1 p.m.
as well.
Director Thomas Usher,
RDC theatre performance
and creation instructor,
has captured much of the
‘youthful exuberance, im-
pulsive romance and con-
stant action’ that forms the
foundation of much of the
story. Scenes move along
quickly – there’s rarely a
quiet moment – and stu-
dents are clearly committed
to the project.
Particularly outstanding
is the likable Tyler John-
son in the central role of
D’Artagnan, who heads
from rural France to the
mysteries and irresistible
allure of Paris to fulfi ll his
dream of becoming a Mus-
keteer. He brings along his
gusty and irrepressible sis-
ter Sabine – Brittany Mar-
tyshuk – who is supposed
to attend a Parisian school
but has a raw drive to dive
directly into the action that
has swallowed up her broth-
er as well once they hit the
‘City of Lights’.
Joining the Musketeers
- Athos, Porthos, and Ara-
mis – D’Artagnan races to
defend the honour of the
Queen of France against
the evil, cunning Cardinal
Richelieu, played with a
kind of fi erce, intimidating
charm by Richard Leurer.
Rounding out the Muske-
teers themselves are Chase
Cownden as Athos, Wayne
Deatley as Aramis and Bret
Jacobs as Porthos – each do
a terrifi c job in their singu-
lar roles and as a tightly-
knit group of dedicated com-
rades.
Other performances that
really stood out include Con-
stance Isaac as ‘Constance’
– the sunny, sweet-natured
girl that D’Artagnan fi nds
himself in love with.
On the other end of the
spectrum, Megan Einar-
son is perfectly cast as the
wicked Milady, working on
behalf of the manipulative
Cardinal. Einarson isn’t
afraid to really dig into her
role and fl esh it out – she
isn’t just a cardboard vil-
lain either. There is more
to her story than is evident
at fi rst, and Einarson nails
the complexities of her role
superbly.
Usher has wisely empha-
sized lots of movement as
the story moves along – plen-
ty of sword fi ghting which
the students handle solidly
for the most part. The actors
maneuver through a whop-
ping 16 fi ght sequences in
the production, having been
deftly guided by Calgary-
based Laryssa Yanchuk.
There were a few clunky,
slow spots early in the play’s
run, but there is no ques-
tion the pace and polish will
grow as the run continues
through to this weekend.
In some ways, the plot
isn’t the most compelling to
be sure. But the tale’s endur-
ing popularity rests on the
good old-fashioned adven-
ture and fun that surfaces
continually.

tre.ca or by calling 403-755-

What if you could change
something major in a sin-
gle moment? What if I told
you that you could right
now just by deciding to. I’m
not saying that if you have
a goal to drop 100lbs that
you could snap your fi ngers
and it would be gone this
instant, but you can make a
decision in an instant, that
will have that exact result.
So many people try to
lose weight, succeed for a
while, then go off track,
gain it back and later try
again. Yoda from Star Wars
is famous for saying “Do or
do not, there is no try” and
it sounds silly perhaps, but
it really is true. When you
‘try’ to quit smoking, or
‘try’ to drop some weight,
it is easy to go back to your
old habits.
Maybe that’s true, but
what if you could decide to
change and then actually
change? I am here to tell
you that you can do that,
and it really is that simple!
I have not only seen it with
client after client, but I my-
self have experienced it.
Back in the late 90’s when
I was overweight and mis-
erable, after enduring doc-
tor appointments, special-
ist appointments, scans,
tests, and all sorts of stuff
- I was sick and tired, of
being sick and tired. After
yet another appointment
with my doctor, he sug-
gested I try eating well, ex-
ercising and getting some
rest. It seemed a lot better
than the pills and garbage
I had been given prior, so I
signed up at a local gym. A
lady there gave me a copy
of a video that was a docu-
mentary of seven people
that went from fat to fi t and
changed their lives. As I
watched that video I knew
in an instant that my life
was never going to be the
same at all, and it never has
been.
I focused, I studied, I
learned and I committed
with absolution to chang-
ing my entire lifestyle. I told
my wife, I told everyone at
work, I told my friends and
I completely changed how
I lived my life. I dropped
over 40lbs of fat, and put
on 20lbs of muscle and was
in the best shape of my life
at age 30. I changed my life
in an instant, but to be fair
- it took years of ‘getting
ready’ to decide. I had to get
sick of living the way I was,
and then decide not to live
that way any more.
Now, all these years lat-
er, this is what I do - I help
others to do the same thing.
When someone is read to
change, really ready, you
can tell. They have made
a decision. A decision to
change in the truest sense
of the word.
In ancient times certain
tribes would go to war
with another tribe and
claim their land. When
they marched on that other
tribe, they brought their
families and all of their
possessions with them, and
when they crossed a bridge,
they burned it behind
them. Total commitment.
Maybe that’s a bit ex-
treme, but it’s pretty hard
to argue that it is effective.
So how does that look to
you? If changing your eat-
ing and lifestyle is the goal,
then you have to set your-
self up to win. Gut your
pantry and fridge, toss out
anything that isn’t 100%
healthy. Go shopping and
only buy healthy stuff. If
you don’t know what that
is, we need to talk. Next,
make sure your family is
on board. That might take
some work, but if you show
them how your health,
your happiness, and your
very life is on the line, I
think they will come along.

Being shot by a jealous
lover at 95 years of age is
my idea of the best way to
leave this planet. But sup-
pose you’re younger and
have survived a coronary
attack or bypass surgery?
Is a little romp in the bed
safe? Or is it time to switch
to backgammon?
A study published in The
Journal of the American
Heart Association about
this reports a major prob-
lem. Women who asked
their doctors questions
about sex received vague
answers. In fact, some pa-
tients gave up sex following
a coronary as they were too
embarrassed to ask their
doctors about it.
Another problem is de-
pression. It’s hard not to
be a bit uptight when you
have survived a brush with
death. This can lead to psy-
chological issues.
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, at
Lennox Hill Hospital in
New York, says “Female
patients worry about in-
creased heart rate and
sweating during sex after
a heart attack, and have
increased rates of depres-
sion.”
But if you’re not de-
pressed, feeling frisky and
counting the days before
you can resume sex, how
long must you wait?
Guidelines issued by The
Princeton Consensus Panel
suggest sexual activity is
too risky during the fi rst
two weeks after a heart
attack, but that 70% of pa-
tients are of low risk and
can resume sexual activity
within three to four weeks.
The other 30% may require
further testing before being
given the green light.
A study reported in The
Journal of the American
Medical Association fol-
lowed 1,774 heart attack
patients and it had better
news. It found that there
was only a 20 in 1,000,000
chance of having a second
heart attack during sex,
much better than the odds
at Las Vegas. In fact, re-
searchers claimed anger
was three times more likely
than sexual activity to trig-
ger a coronary death.
Another study at the Uni-
versity of Maryland found
that even men suffering
from chronic heart failure
could safely engaged in sex.
This more realistic view
makes sense when you con-
sider the amount of energy
involved in sexual activity.
A report published in the
Johns Hopkins bulletin,
‘Health after 50’, says sex-
ual intercourse requires
the same amount of physi-
cal exertion as walking on
a treadmill at three to four
miles an hour or climbing
two fl ights of stairs. So the
majority of people should
look on sex as an enjoy-
able workout. But I’d like
to add a word of caution
since I have no desire to be
responsible for death in the
bedroom. Don’t use sex to
enter The Guinness Book
of Records after a heart
attack. Some coronary pa-
tients never say die and
have to prove their prowess
as soon as possible.
I recall a speaker who re-
ported that one patient, in
a private room, engaged in
sex the day after an attack.
He certainly should be
awarded A plus for his en-
thusiasm, but he could also
have been on next morn-
ing’s obituary page.
Patients who initiate
sex following a heart at-
tack should let their doctor
know if they experience
chest pain, shortness of
breath, an irregular heart
rate, dizziness or undue fa-
tigue.
Looking at the overall
picture, several other fac-
tors are more important
than sex in circumventing
another coronary event.
Moreover, a satisfactory
sex life is vital to a happy
marriage whether or not
it’s been interrupted by
heart attack. As I’ve often
told patients, “Sex is only
fi ve percent of a marriage,
but the fi rst fi ve percent.”
Moreover, sex is a 100%
natural remedy, a good
way to relieve stress and
anxiety, rather than reach-
ing for anti-depressants
or sleeping pills. In fact, a
study at Queen’s Univer-
sity showed that having sex
three times a week cut the
risk of heart attack in half.

Sex? On the day after a heart attack?
Not everyone likes to bake heart
shaped cupcakes with the creamy red
or pink frosting smothered all over
them so try this instead. Surprise
yourself or your loved ones on Val-
entine’s Day morning with a piece of
apple cake with their coffee.
2 cups fl our, all purpose
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cut in
1/4 inch cubes
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
For the fi lling:
3-4 apples, I prefer the Granny
Smith apples, peeled and cut into 1/2
inch pieces
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. each ground all spice, cloves
& nutmeg
1 tbsp. liquid honey
whipping cream to serve (optional)
brown sugar for dusting
Filling: In a bowl toss apples (3
cups) with lemon juice. Add raisins,
cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nut-
meg; stir well. Add honey and mix
thoroughly; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together fl our
and baking powder. Using two knives,
cut in butter until mixture resembles
oatmeal. Stir in sugar. Make a well in
the centre; pour in egg and milk. Us-
ing fork, stir briskly to make sticky
dough; divide in half.
Roll out one half between two sheets
of waxed paper (parchment paper) to
1/4 inch thickness. Fit into lightly
greased nine-inch pie plate. Spoon the
fi lling evenly over the dough. Roll out
remaining dough between the paper
and transfer on top of the fi lling. Press
edges together. Using a shape knife cut
a small slit in the centre of pastry to
allow steam to escape.
Bake at 350F oven for 45 minutes or
until cake is golden brown and fi rm
to the touch and a tester tooth pick
comes out clean. Cut into wedges

SPORTSBY JIM CLAGGETTRed Deer Express
The lacrosse program in In-
nisfail has been benefi tting from
some top level help when it comes
to teaching the game to some ea-
ger players.
Calgary Roughneck Andrew
McBride has been with the pro-
gram for several years now and
shares his expertise through the
winter months as these players
prepare for the season.
“He comes in and runs just a
great program at teaching the
kids proper cradling, proper pass-
ing, proper shooting and then
he gets into play making,” said
Daryle Zimmer, coach with the
peewee and midget teams within
the Innisfail lacrosse system.
He got involved in the sport as a
coach 10 years ago when his fi ve-
year-old son wanted to play and
Zimmer says he had no lacrosse
knowledge at all but wanted to
help.
The program includes players
ranging from the novice age up to
the midget classifi cation and this
year there are two players who
are enrolled in the training who
have never touched a lacrosse
stick before.
“They’ve actually loved the
fact that they can come work
with somebody who has played
lacrosse for so long,” said Zim-
mer. “Once you start putting that
stick in your hand and catching
and passing and whatever, most
kids catch on quite fast.”
The eight-week program is run
out of the Innisfail High School
and will close out around the end
of the month but Zimmer says
there is also a Sunday session
which is run by an Innisfail grad-
uating player Trey Christensen
who plays for the Red Deer Ram-
page.
“The kids who have graduated
from the program and are play-
ing now at high end junior are
now seeing the evolution of what
lacrosse is,” said Zimmer. “So
trying to get those junior coaches
back to help out is huge.”
Zimmer says he’s learned plen-
ty along with the players as they
get to tap into the experience
from some young junior coaches.
Getting into the school was a
big boost as the school board had
some objections about allowing
lacrosse teams to practice in the
gym, fearing there might be some
damage done given the weight of
a regulation lacrosse ball but that
situation has been worked out
with players using all the right
gear with the exception being the
ball they use.
“We use a little pink ball. It’s
a spongy ball and so it’s not as
hard,” said Zimmer.
“They (the school board) were
accommodating to us so we
thought we’d be accommodating
to them.
“It’s still good in the fact these
kids get a stick in their hands two
months before we start the sea-
son,” he said.
The Phantoms program has
had some great success over the
past few years with the midget
team placing fi rst in the league
and then it went on to win a silver
medal in provincial competition.
The bantam team placed sec-
ond overall and followed that up
with a provincial silver medal as
well, said Zimmer.
The tyke program is very
strong and should be able to feed
the program’s higher levels of
play in a few years’ time but Zim-
mer says it’s the peewee group
where the lowest numbers are
but he hopes the interest will
grow as the local teams keep hav-
ing success.
“It’s a very physical game but it
can also be a fi nesse game,” said
Zimmer. “Once you try it I would
say 90 per cent of kids like it.”

SPORTS
BY JIM CLAGGETTRed Deer Express
The Red Deer College Queens
were fl ying high following the
Christmas break but the last two
weekends have been a struggle,
losing to SAIT and recently Grant
MacEwan.
In spite of those setbacks the
Queens still remain focused when
it comes to reaching the goal set at
the start of the year.
Last season the Queens dropped
the bronze medal game on home
court and it left them with the feel-
ing of unfi nished business.
“I know exactly what it feels like
to lose and I don’t exactly want to
ever feel that again,” said second
year player Amber Adolf.
The Queens have put together
a very solid year to this point and
head coach Talbot Walton fi gured
an 18-2 record would put them in
a very good spot heading into the
provincial championships Feb. 21-
23 in Grande Prairie.
The Queens sit at 17-3, tied for
fi rst with GMU and Grande Prairie
but early on an undefeated season
was a possibility.
“But in the grand scheme of
things, we want to win games but
those games that you win are all
done with a purpose so that the
outcome of the provincial champi-
onship, the conference champion-
ship is there.
“So you can play well when you
need to play well,” said Walton.
A weekend series on the road
against Briercrest was a prime
example of how this team can ad-
just to what an opponent is doing.
The Queens were pounded by a big
hitter who posted 17 kills but still
managed to win the match in spite
of being second best in all the game
stats.
“We watched game tape and
watched her hitting angles, espe-
cially blocking, we didn’t block
very well,” said Adolf.
“So what Talbot really worked
on was where we should block her
and how we should block her so
we actually controlled her really
well.”
It’s that type of team work and
ability to make changes quickly
which will carry the Queens for-
ward in the conference playoffs.
While last season’s disappoint-
ment might serve as a motivating
factor for the Queens, the coach
is of the opinion these girls don’t
need to be motivated to win.
“I’ve been lucky the last three
or four years, teams want to come
in, they understand the rewards
of learning and working hard and
it’s just a tradition we’ve kind of
fostered in our gym,” said Walton.
“It’s never an issue of are they go-
ing to give us enough? It’s is that
stuff they’re going to give us to-
night going to help us in the long
run?”
Queens head to provincials this weekend
The start of this edition
of the winter Olympics is
like stepping out of your
20C home and into the -35C
deep freeze which is what
we call outside.
A slap in the face is one
way to describe the change
in climate.
The same can be said
when it comes to watching
the Olympics as compared
to the mainstream sports
we get a steady diet of each
day.
Tell me the last time
you bundled up to watch
anybody cross-country
ski with a rifl e strapped to
their back?
Aside from your buddies,
does anyone else watch
you master the half pipe at
the ski hill or stand at the
bottom of the hill as you
schuss on your skis?
There are of course
sports like hockey, curling
and fi gure skating where
more than your parents,
siblings and friends might
turnout but at this time of
year we are all fans of the
15 Olympic sports.
But what is more refresh-
ing to me as a journalist
and as a fan is the inter-
views following the com-
pletion of an event.
For the most part, we get
the raw emotion of these
athletes right after their
Olympic moment has come
and gone.
In those moments we
don’t get the canned, re-
hearsed and uninspiring
quotes which get trotted
out by so many profes-
sional athletes on a regular
basis.
Watching the sisters
from Quebec celebrate
their medals and then the
interview right away was
a great example of what
it means to be an amateur
athlete.
Alex Bilodeau shar-
ing the moment with his
brother after another mo-
gul gold.
An interview with snow-
boarder Spencer O’Brien
after she had a terrible per-
formance was even more
intriguing.
She never made excuses
for her times but did not
back down from her effort
either.
She was close to tears
talking about it but unlike
a host of pro athletes who
had a bad day, she showed
up for the cameras and the
raw emotion leaked out all
over the place.
Good or bad these young
men and women are the
real deal when it comes to
facing the media and at the
same time the public who
supports them.
This is what inspires
youngsters to be an athlete
in my mind.
Working hard all year,
putting it on the line and
then talking about it no
matter what the result.
This glimpse into the
soul of an athlete may not
last long in real time but it
will certainly stick with me
forever.
Go Canada!
Enjoying outstanding Olympic moments

What is it about travel that
makes us desire it so? We just
returned from a fabulous trip
only to begin searching for that
next getaway. Oh I know, the
warm breezes and beautiful
scenery is an irresistible pull
especially when we are sitting
here in bone-freezing tempera-
tures but I think there is more.
Hotels, cruise ships and vacation
resorts pull out all the stops to
design spaces that are over the
top glamorous. When you vaca-
tion, even if you aren’t aware of
it, you are being romanced right
from the moment you step on the
property.
Nobody does this better than
Vegas, it is the utmost experience
in opulence and decadence. Years
ago a team of designers from Car-
pet Colour Centre travelled there
for a window covering workshop.
It was hilarious watching all of
us touring the hotels, mostly with
our heads down checking out the
carpets and fl oor tiles. We stayed
at the Wynn which is a visually
stunning hotel with luxury rooms
beyond your wildest dreams. It
got me thinking, why can’t we
bring those elements home to
make our daily experience as in-
dulgent as what we experience
while away?
The good news is, you can! I’m
going to throw budget and re-
straint out the window for a mo-
ment and delve into some divine
concepts to add to your home. I
am fi nishing a home for a client
who has put motorized blinds in
his master bedroom (just like the
Wynn). Imagine rolling over in
the morning and with the fl ick of
a switch or a command to your
tablet your blinds roll away re-
vealing early morning sun. You
have equipped your master suite
with a miniature coffee maker
and this switches on at the sound
of your voice. Mornings have nev-
er looked better!
Still slightly sleepy, you wan-
der into your ensuite bathroom
and curl your toes around the
warm fl oor tile. The thermostat
automatically clicked on a few
minutes before you woke up and
the fl oor is toasty and welcom-
ing. Your plush bathrobe hangs
from a heated towel rack as do
your pure white linens, careful-
ly chosen for their soft, caress-
ing feel. Your deep soaker tub
is waiting for you to fi ll it with
fragrant bubbles and essential
oils as you soak your cares away
while you sip on your fresh cof-
fee while watching your favou-
rite morning show on television.
Or you choose from a selection
of your favourite literature and
turn on the gas fi replace that sits
at the end of your tub.
Padding back into your bed-
room your feet are welcomed
by an unbelievably soft, sculp-
tured carpet as you prepare to
get ready for your day. Doesn’t
a morning like this sound amaz-
ing? Indulgence is ok. It’s won-
derful to spoil yourself once in a
while and create that soul satisfy-
ing vacation experience right in
your own home. All these treats
are available if you are renovat-
ing or building a home and while
you may not be able to have all
of these items, possibly one or
two might just be enough to work
magic in your home.
We spend so much time in our
homes, it is important to create a
sanctuary where you live. Those
vacation memories are still very
important and maybe, just maybe,
you can bring some of those ideas
and indulgences back home.

HOMES & LIVING
It’s easy to get caught up in the
idea that comparing mortgage
rates will guarantee you the best
bang for your mortgage buck.
While this may be true for par-
ticular situations, there are many
scenarios where this strategy is
not effective. Following are three
reasons why it doesn’t always pay
to make a decision based solely
on rates.
Reason #1
Your long-term plan and risk
tolerance should determine
which mortgage product is right
for you. This product may or may
not have the lowest rate.
For instance, there are cases
where lenders will offer lower
rates for insured mortgages.
With insured mortgages, how-
ever, you’re charged an insur-
ance premium, which is usually
added to the mortgage amount.
But if you’re not planning on
keeping the property for a long
enough time to offset that cost,
it may be better to take an unin-
sured mortgage with a slightly
higher rate. The cost difference
you will pay with the higher in-
terest rate may still be less than
what you may pay in insurance
premiums.
As another example, if you
prefer to budget for a consistent
payment and can’t handle rate
fl uctuations, it may be better to
go with a higher fi xed-rate mort-
gage. If you think current rates
are low enough and you will be
living in your property for at least
fi ve years, it may be wise to also
opt for a mortgage with a longer
term.
Reason #2
One of the biggest mistakes
people make when merely com-
paring mortgage rates is failing
to consider important factors
such as prepayment options to
help pay off the mortgage faster,
whether secondary fi nancing op-
tions are allowed, early payout
penalties, or what fees are in-
volved.
It’s not enough to simply com-
pare mortgage rates because you
have to know what ‘clauses’ are
contained within the mortgage
deal. There may be cases where
you will fi nd a lender with the
lowest rate and willing to pay for
your closing costs, or even pro-
vide you with cash-backs after
closing.
Reason #3
Lenders can change their rates
at any time. As such, if you’re
shopping for rates with one lend-
er and then approach another
that gives you a lower rate, it’s
quite possible that the fi rst lender
has also dropped its rates. This is
why it’s important to get pre-ap-
proved with a lender once you a
mortgage that fi ts your needs. In
some cases, you can secure your
rate and conditions for up to 120
days.
These are just three reasons
why it’s not enough to merely
compare mortgage rates. The
mortgage rate you may qualify
for is also highly dependent on
your credit score among other
things. In order to get the best
mortgage deals, you need to have
solid credit.

Looking beyond the mortgage rates
Every spring safety offi cials urge us to change
the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide
alarms when we change our clocks to Daylight Sav-
ing Time. We depend on them for early warning of
fi re and exposure to the deadly gas, so it’s impor-
tant that alarms are working at all times.
But there is one more step that homeowners
need to take to ensure that their family is truly pro-
tected: check the age of those alarms and replace
any that are past their prime.
“Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms stand
guard 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” says Car-
ol Heller of Kidde Canada, the country’s leading
home fi re safety company. “So it makes sense that
eventually they need to be replaced.”
But how often? Fire safety organizations across
North America say that smoke alarms should be
replaced every 10 years and carbon monoxide
alarms every seven to 10 years, depending on the
brand.
Experts stress that checking the age of your
alarms before you install fresh batteries is essen-
tial, because you don’t want to put new batteries
into outdated alarms. Heller adds, “It is also im-
portant to know that all alarms need replacing,
whether they are battery powered or hardwired.”
Consider these additional safety reminders:
1. Install smoke alarms on every storey of your
home and inside bedrooms if you sleep with doors
closed.
2. Never take down an alarm or remove its bat-
teries because of a nuisance alarm caused by cook-
ing. Instead, install a photoelectric smoke alarm
near the kitchen as they dramatically reduce false
alarms.
3. If you have gas devices or appliances, a wood
or gas fi replace, or an attached garage or carport
you need to install at least one CSA-approved car-
bon monoxide alarm. The best location is near
bedrooms – never install in a furnace room. CO
alarms with continuous displays are most popu-
lar as they warn you before harmful levels are
reached.
