BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

When Warren Kreway left

for a month-long trip to

the Ukraine with Medi-

cal Mercy Canada at the begin-

ning of May, he was hoping to do

more than help out a country in

need.

For Kreway, there were also

personal motivations for going on

the trip. He hoped that he would

be able to fi nd a lost piece of his

family’s history as well.

Other than knowing that his

grandfather emigrated from the

Ukraine to Canada and home-

steaded in Sheho, Saskatchewan,

Kreway knew nothing about his

Ukrainian heritage. Kreway said

his father never spoke of their

family’s Ukrainian ties, or why

Kreway’s grandfather left the

country.

Some time ago, Kreway found a

clue that might lead him to learn

more about his family in the

Ukraine. When going through the

belongings of Kreway’s late un-

cle, his family found a baptismal

certifi cate for Kreway’s grandfa-

ther from 1872.

When Kreway left for his trip to

the Ukraine this year, he brought

the document with him, hoping

it could lead him to learn more

about his grandfather and why

his family left the Ukraine. With

a little research and a lot of luck,

or as Kreway likes to think of it,

divine intervention, he was able

to do just that.

“I’m not over it yet,” said Kre-

way, who shared his fi ndings in

a gathering of family and friends

at the Lacombe Memorial Centre

last month.

One of the lead doctors on the

medical mission trip was able to

lead Kreway to the region of Bu-

kovina. From there, Kreway and

his companions were also able to

fi nd the City of Kitsman, where

Kreway’s grandfather was from.

He had already learned more

than he had dared to hope, but it

wasn’t until the group was visit-

ing a nearby village on an appoint-

ment with Medical Mercy Canada

that things really started to fall

into place for him. At that appoint-

ment, one of the nurses recognized

Kreway’s name or at least, his orig-

inal Ukrainian surname.

Kreway is an Anglicization of

Crevoho. Like the surnames of

many immigrants, Kreway’s sur-

name was changed when his fam-

ily came to Canada.

When the nurse recognized the

name, she was able to put Kreway

in touch with his cousin, George

Crevoho.

Crevoho, the grandson of Kre-

way’s great-uncle, is actually

a historian. When meeting his

cousin, Kreway also discovered

the Crevoho had been trying to do

the same thing as Kreway from

the other side.

While Kreway had been trying

to fi nd out why his family had left

the Ukraine, Crevoho had been

trying to fi nd out why a part of his

family had suddenly disappeared

from the Ukraine. Between the

two of them, each now has the

answers they were looking for.

Kreway said that, during the

many invasions the Ukraine has

undergone throughout history,

the people of the country have

often been oppressed by some for-

eign infl uence. Anyone who op-

posed that oppression could meet

dire consequences.

Kreway’s family left the coun-

try to escape that. However, it

wasn’t as simple as just leaving.

If Kreway’s Ukrainian rela-

tives had known anything about

where his grandfather was escap-

ing to, it would have been them

that would have suffered the

consequences. There was also

the chance that, even if they suc-

cessfully escaped, that Kreway’s

grandparents would be found out

after the fact and sent back to the

Ukraine.

While the Crevoho family knew

Kreway’s grandfather had left the

country, they had no idea where

he had gone or what had hap-

pened afterwards. Kreway said it

was safest this way.

“If you were caught, you were

literally a dead man.”

Now, thanks to Kreway and

Crevoho, both sides know what

happened to the other. Kreway

said it was a rewarding and emo-

tional experience for both him

and Crevoho.

“I feel so honoured and blessed

that I was able to take that circle

and close it for both sides,” said

Kreway. “George was ecstatic,

there were a lot of tears shed in the

two days that we had together.”

Lacombians will have

a new scene to check out

Wednesday evenings this

summer.

Each Wednesday in July

and August from 4:30 – 8:30

p.m. outside the Lacombe

Memorial Centre, the City

will be hosting a Lacombe

Community Market. These

markets will coincide with

Music in the Park.

The fi rst Lacombe Com-

munity Market was held

July 2nd. Soon afterwards,

some informal polls were

conducted to garner some

feedback about how attend-

ees felt towards the event.

Organizer Wendy Buyar

said the reaction was one

of excitement.

“The feedback was amaz-

ing,” she said. “Everyone

was really happy.”

There are a few different

goals behind the Lacombe

Community Market, said

Buyar. One of them is sim-

ply to provide Lacombians

with something new to do

in the middle of the week.

She said the market of-

fers an attraction that is

inside the City of Lacombe.

She added the hope is it will

give residents a reason to

spend their leisure time in

the community rather than

traveling outside the area

to larger centres.

It also brings attention

and traffi c to Lacombe’s

downtown core. Hopefully,

some of Lacombe’s down-

town businesses will see

some increased business be-

cause of the additional traf-

fi c. Buyar said one or two

downtown businesses have

already expressed interest

in getting involved with the

market and helping those

spinoffs along. She added

she would love to see busi-

nesses having sidewalk

sales or other special events

and promotions during the

markets as a way to join in.

Some may see the new

Lacombe Community Mar-

ket as being in competition

with Lacombe’s farmers’

market. But, Buyar doesn’t

see it that way. She said the

idea of the Lacombe Com-

munity Market is to appeal

to a different demographic

and perhaps give both

shoppers and vendors who

are not available during

farmers’ markets a place to

exchange.

Not only does the Com-

munity Market draw a dif-

ferent crowd, it provides

a venue for different ven-

dors. Because the farmers’

market adheres to certain

rules, such as that at least

80% of its vendors must

sell wares produced locally,

there are some businesses

that can’t be part of the

market. Buyar said that

because the Lacombe Com-

munity Market does not

adhere to the same rules, it

is able to include different

kinds of vendors. It also

provides a venue for ven-

dors who can’t be part of

Lacombe’s farmers’ market

simply because of the time

it runs. So far, Buyar said

the approach appears to be

working. She said she was

a little surprised at the dif-

ference in who attended the

two markets.

“I was very surprised

how very different the

group was, in comparison

to what you see at our Fri-

day farmers’ market.” She

added that, in any case,

the Farmers’ Market is an

invaluable asset that she

wants to see remaining in

the community.

Lacombe’s fi rst Commu-

nity Market was somewhat

small in terms of vendor

numbers, but Buyar said

that many vendors had for-

gotten the market was im-

mediately after Canada Day

and had to cancel. Still, she

expressed her confi dence

that the market will grow.

“That was disappoint-

ing, however I have com-

plete faith in how our City

responds to stuff,” said

Buyar. She went on to say

that those vendors who

were at the fi rst market did

make profi ts, which is all it

takes for markets to be suc-

cessful and grow.

“It will grow, there is no

doubt in my mind that ev-

ery week it’s going to get

bigger.”

Buyar said that she

wants the Lacombe Com-

munity Market to have a

festival feel to it. Not only

will it provide shopping

opportunities, but it also

will provide fun and en-

tertainment. Holding the

market in conjunction

with the summer’s Music

in the Park concerts pro-

vide entertainment and the

bounce house on the grassy

areas outside the LMC pro-

vide fun activities for the

kids as well.

Excitement builds around City’s community market



Parents and caregivers

will have something differ-

ent to do each Monday this

summer thanks to a new

program from Parent Link.

Summer Daze is a new

program from the Lacombe

Parent Link Centre which

is focused at getting kids

outside, having fun and of

course, developing essen-

tial skills.

Parent Link

Programmer Car-

olyn McLaren,

who designed the

Adventure Daze

program, said

that this new pro-

gram offers fami-

lies and caregiv-

ers a number of

activities to partake in over

the summer.

Each week, there is a

new theme to the program,

which means that there are

always different activities

to do.

“Each activity has a hid-

den purpose that kids don’t

even know about,” said

McLaren.

As with most of Parent

Link’s programs, Adven-

ture Daze exists for more

than just allowing kids to

have fun.

It allows children to

progress in essential ar-

eas of child development

including in areas such as

gross motor, fi ne motor, so-

cial, language and commu-

nication skills.

For example, at this

week’s beach party-themed

session, children worked

on gross motor skills doing

a beanbag toss where they

‘fed’ fi sh-shaped beanbags

to a cardboard cutout of a

shark.

Adventure Daze provides

Parent Link with an op-

portunity to connect with

parents in the area and pro-

vide them with information

on parenting and child de-

velopment as well.

It also allows parents in

the area to connect with

each other.

In addition, it also pro-

vides an opportunity for

parents to play with their

kids directly.

Parent to child play, rath-

er than just child-to-child

play is a focus of Parent

Link.

“That is always our

goal,” said Lacombe Parent

Link Centre Coordinator

Cora Hoekstra. “We always

want to facilitate adult-

child interaction.”

McLaren said, while Par-

ent Link has offered sum-

mer programs to a certain

extent in the past, parents

in the area expressed a de-

sire for more.

Parent Link also wanted

this year’s summer pro-

gramming to be

new, involved

and outdoors as

much as possible.

Hoekstra said

that research has

shown that 55%

of children enter-

ing Kindergar-

ten in Lacombe

are lacking in at

least one of the essential

development areas.

She added where these

defi cits tend to manifest the

most is in the areas of lan-

guage and physical ability.

Because it is part of Par-

ent Link’s mandate to pre-

pare children for school,

Hoekstra said these fi nd-

ings are concerning. She

added that programs like

Adventure Daze work to

correct this issue.

“Our goal, as Parent

Link centres, is to support

families to prepare their

children for school,” said

Hoekstra.

“And I think we as citi-

zens should be concerned,”

she said.

Parent Link is a prov-

ince-wide network dedi-

cated to providing parents

with resources in their

communities.

It also runs programs

targeting and developing

children between the ages

of birth and six years old.

Adventure Daze runs ev-

ery Monday morning until

Aug. 25th from 10 – 11:30

a.m.

Participants will meet

in the park outside the La-

combe Memorial Centre or

in case of inclement weath-

er, inside the Parent Link

room inside the LMC.

There is no fee for the

program and all are wel-

come.

ent Link Centre at 403-782-

On July 7th shortly be-

fore 7 a.m., Lacombe Fire

Department received a

request for mutual aid to

Bentley Fire Department

at a fi re in the Bentley Hut-

terite Colony pig barns.

Lacombe Fire Chief

Ed van Delden said that

Bentley put out a request

for aid to several depart-

ments, including Lacombe

and Blackfalds, before any

fi re crews had even ar-

rived at the scene.

“They requested our

support very early,” said

van Delden.

Lacombe Fire Depart-

ment responded to the fi re

with an engine, a tender,

a rescue unit as well as

about a dozen fi refi ghters.

Lacombe Fire Depart-

ment then provided as-

sistance to defensive fi re-

fi ghting operations.

The fi re was in one of

the colony’s hog barns. By

the time fi re crews arrived,

that building was already

beginning to collapse so

fi refi ghters turned their

efforts to saving an ad-

jacent barn to the south,

which was connected to

the fi rst by a shared utility

room.

As the northern barn

was unsafe to enter, fi re-

fi ghters directed most of

their attacks from the out-

side of the building. They

were able to contain the

blaze to the northern barn.

van Delden said the

southern barn was undam-

aged other than its shared

utility room, which was

dismantled so fi refi ghters

could be sure fi re had not

spread between the barns

unseen, such as between

the walls and roof.

Both barns were popu-

lated with hogs at the time

of the fi re and those that

were in the northern barn

were killed.

It is estimated thousand

of pigs were lost in the fi re.

Those hogs that were in

the southern barn were

able to be evacuated while

fi re-fi ghting operations

were going on.

van Delden said the pigs

were removed by the farm

owners, put into tempo-

rary pens and later moved

to other farms.

Once the blaze was

brought under control,

just before noon, Lacombe

Fire Department stayed on

scene to help with over-

haul and cleanup opera-

tions.

van Delden said by the

time Lacombe fi refi ght-

ers returned to quarters,

fueled and put their fi re

trucks back in service it

was after 6 p.m.

In addition to Lacombe,

Blackfalds and Bentley,

Sylvan Lake and Eckville

fi re departments also re-

sponded. All of the fi re-

fi ghting operations were

managed by the Bentley

Fire Department.

van Delden tipped his

hat to Bentley Fire De-

partment, saying they

displayed excellent leader-

ship and resource manage-

ment during the crisis.

“My compliments to

them for organizing such

a large-scale operation,”

said van Delden. “They

did an admirable job in my

opinion of managing those

resources and achieving

their objective.”

Currently, the fi re is

under investigation and

the cause of the fi re is un-

known.

Kids & Kops continues to bring positive community impact

Lacombe provides aid in Bentley blaze

BY KALISHA MENDONSALacombe Express

Each year, Big Brothers, Big Sisters gets

together with the Lacombe Police Depart-

ment, the Blackfalds Police Department,

local sheriffs and RCMP to create a week

of action for the county’s youngsters.

Kids and law enforcement come togeth-

er from July 14-17th for a variety of events

that have so far yielded positive responses

from all involved communities, organizers

say. “The philosophy behind it is that this

creates positive mentorship. Mentoring

with the police, they get to know the police

in a different light and build a bond with

them,” said Big Brothers, Big Sisters (La-

combe division) Executive Director Crys-

tal Zens. “We’ve had comments from par-

ents in the past where kids are going down

Main Street, and see the chief or another

police offi cer, and yell out the windows and

are so excited to see them because they

think of them as a friend now. It’s really

neat to build that kind of rapport in our

City.”

Twenty-four children are given the op-

portunity to get close to the police depart-

ment members. Lacombe’s Kids & Kops

program was awarded the 2010 Solicitor

General Award (now known as a Ministry

of Justice Community Safety and Crime

Prevention Award) due to its high level of

police involvement and success in develop-

ing relationships in the community.

“What I like is it’s not based around

negative re-enforcement or scaring the

kids. It’s all positive interaction with some

learning lessons along the way. It’s a fun

activity, not something to scare people into

doing things right,” said the new Lacombe

Police Inspector Lorne Blumhagen.

“It’s showing them why they should do

things like being respectful to their com-

munity and themselves, in a positive man-

ner and having fun with it. It’s a good op-

portunity to make that connection and

provide a positive atmosphere for rapport

building and connecting with the kids.”

This year will be Blumhagen’s fi rst year

of involvement with the program. He said

he is looking forward to it, and to the op-

portunity to interact with the kids.

The program is funded mainly through

charity check stops performed annually in

Lacombe. Big Brothers, Big Sisters have

welcomed any corporations to become a

sponsor of these events. The sponsorship

would allow the program to accept more

children, and to potentially develop a pro-

gram specifi c to Blackfalds.

“For the last year or so, Blackfalds has

approached us and wanted to run a pro-

gram solo, because they have so many

youths who want to be involved. We’ve

had a couple of meetings with the RCMP

this year to see how that would work,” said

Zens. The best way to get information is to

speak with staff at Big Brothers, Big Sis-

ters, located at 5102-50 Ave. or to visit their

web site.

Do you have a project or an idea

that could positively impact our

community? City council is look-

ing for your input into the 2015

budget.

Annual budgets are drafted by

City administration before being

debated and adopted by council.

Now, council, staff and citizens

will all contribute to the budget

with an objective of fi nding the

right balance between investing in

quality public service, while keep-

ing Lacombe tax rates low without

compromising service levels.

From July 1st to Aug. 30th, we

are asking residents to share their

ideas for consideration in next

year’s operating and capital bud-

gets. This is your chance to tell us

what is important to you.

Go to www.lacombe.ca/budget-

submissions to communicate your

own ideas about what the munici-

pality should focus on for the next

budget cycle. Your submissions can

be operating or capital in nature,

and can include services, facilities

or resources for programs. Council

will review citizen submissions to

determine which projects will be

approved for costing by City ad-

ministration, and further consid-

ered as part of our annual budget

deliberations.

Our budget priorities will be

based on the six pillars identifi ed

in the 2014-2017 City of Lacombe

Strategic Plan.

The fi rst of these pillars is hav-

ing a safe, healthy and vibrant

community. We want to have

multi-sectoral collaborations that

integrate social, economic and en-

vironmental goals to benefi t the

whole community and strengthen

its capacity.

Lacombe’s strategic plan also

outlines land resources and ac-

quisitions as a pillar. We want to

create an inventory of properly

designated and zoned lands to sup-

port future development within the

municipality.

Operations regarding infrastruc-

ture growth and asset management

make up the third pillar. We want

to keep the delivery of infrastruc-

ture services that residents rely on

well planned, well-built and well-

maintained.

Lacombe’s economic prosper-

ity also makes up a pillar in the

strategic plan. We want to create

a uniquely defi ned, liveable com-

munity coupling heritage preser-

vation with development that en-

courages industrial development,

a growing commercial tax base

and is inclusive of strong quality

of life component. There are de-

velopment guidelines and defi ned

community economic development

roles.

Lacombe wants to excel in opera-

tions as well. We want to have ele-

ments of leadership stressing the

application of principles and tools

to improve performance that will

enhance process effi ciency, reduce

costs and improve customer ser-

vice.

Finally, we want to have a rela-

tionship with the community. The

City will use various methods to

establish and maintain mutually

benefi cial relationship with resi-

dents, businesses organization and

government services through con-

sultation, transparent communi-

cation and an interest in measur-

ing customer experiences to build

trust, support and cooperation.

Your ideas have a better chance

for success if they are well thought-

out, and compatible with the above

six pillars. Each public submission

will be reviewed and evaluated;

however, we may not be able to in-

corporate all of the input that is re-

ceived into the 2015 budget.

A simple majority of council

members is prerequisite in deter-

mining which citizen submissions

are referred to administration for

costing purposes. Once costed,

only the submissions endorsed by

council will become part of the an-

nual budget deliberations.

Staff will prepare the fi nal pro-

posed budget, which will be distrib-

uted to council in mid- October in

preparation for the council budget

workshop in mid-November. We

will deliberate the budget at a reg-

ular meeting of council in Novem-

ber, before adopting the operating

and capital budgets in December.

The fi nal budget, inclusive of

public submissions and comments,

will be shared with the public in

December.

As mayor, I am proud to say that

by soliciting citizen input, we are

creating a greater level of trans-

parency in the City’s annual bud-

getary process. This new initiative

will give citizens access to aspects

of the budget process like never

before, and is a great example of

participatory democracy in action.

Steve Christie is the mayor of La-combe.

Can someone explain

why our education minis-

ter is bent on having a fi ght

with Alberta’s teachers?

Earlier this year, Jeff

Johnson, Alberta’s edu-

cation minister, received

strong criticism regarding

the Alberta curriculum

and its migration towards

‘discovery’ learning, par-

ticularly discovery math.

After months locked in

debate with parents and

teachers who wanted a

curriculum that actually

taught students in a way

where they would learn,

Johnson recently suc-

cumbed to mounting pres-

sure from Albertans, alter-

ing the curriculum to allow

for more teaching of tradi-

tional methods of learning

math.

With that fi ght out of

the way, Johnson immedi-

ately went to work on his

next project – and promptly

started another fi ght with

Alberta’s teachers.

In an attempt to improve

school boards’ disciplinary

procedures (and verify if

they need improving) John-

son has demanded that

all 61 of Alberta’s school

boards provide him with

documents detailing every

formal complaint lodged

against any staff member

with a teaching certifi cate

over the last 10 years. John-

son has also instructed

school boards to include

‘all information’ related to

such staff members who

resigned, retired, were sus-

pended or fi red in response

to allegations of unprofes-

sional conduct or incom-

petence and he expects the

documents by tomorrow.

The Alberta Teacher’s

Association (ATA) re-

sponded, quite rightly,

by saying, in much more

pleasant terms, that who

and how Alberta’s school

boards have disciplined

is none of the minister’s

business. Furthermore, the

ATA (again, quite rightly)

have questioned the legal-

ity of Johnson demanding

such information under the

School Act and have asked

Alberta Information and

Privacy Commissioner Jill

Clayton to investigate.

Johnson argues that he

is entitled to such infor-

mation because he is the

ultimate regulator of Al-

berta’s teacher. In fact, he

goes so far in his arrogance

to comment on how it is

“Amazing” that he doesn’t

already have copies of such

records.

Strictly speaking, John-

son is right, he is the ul-

timate regulator of Al-

berta’s teachers. However,

that doesn’t mean he gets

to stomp his feet and use

bully tactics to get what he

wants.

Teachers work for school

boards, not the department

of education or the edu-

cation minister directly.

Those school boards have

the right to determine their

own policies on when and

how to discipline their em-

ployees. Besides, it doesn’t

matter if Johnson should

or shouldn’t be trying to

improve how teachers are

disciplined, the point is he

is going about it the wrong

way.

Perhaps Jim Prentice

had the right idea when he

implied that, if elected as

leader of the Alberta PC

Party, he would remove

Johnson and replace him

with someone more com-

petent. That way, we could

have an education minister

who was actually interest-

ed in working with teach-

ers instead of against them.

What residents may not know about La-

combe Days is that all of the activities are

not organized by the City, but by a group

of committed volunteers.

Thanks to the dedication and time put

forth by the small Lacombe Days Associa-

tion Committee, Lacombe Days is about to

roll out for residents to enjoy from July

17-20th.

“We’re trying to enhance it a little bit

more at a time. We want to accommodate

all ages.

“We have lots of ideas, but it takes

groups coming together and volunteers to

pull it off because it’s a lot of hard work,”

said Chris Ross, chair of the Lacombe

Days Association Committee.

“We want to draw more people to town

and show that we are a beautiful commu-

nity. We want them here in a relaxed set-

ting, not coming to businesses to do busi-

ness and leave or just pass through. We

want people here for the day and to see it

all and enjoy it.”

The weekend-long event will also fea-

ture barbecues, pancake breakfasts, chil-

dren’s entertainers, beer gardens, live lo-

cal musicians, a show and shine car show,

a drive-in style movie night and much

more. New this year to Lacombe Days will

be a softball tournament lasting through

the weekend and a steak fry and cabaret

event.

“We’re trying to enhance the amount

of street performers and children’s activi-

ties to entice the families to stay the after-

noon in the community. We’re trying to

get people to stay for the duration of the

day, instead of just heading home after the

parade.”

The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. on July

19th, following a pancake breakfast at the

Lacombe & District Historical Society.

The Lacombe Days Association went

through much deliberation after last

year’s event, and sent out questionnaires

and studies to the residents to see what

was most sought after.

“The street performers were a pretty

common response from the studies we did.

People want to see more remaining in the

afternoon.”

The street performers mentioned in-

clude a one-man band, stilts walkers and a

magician. These performances are geared

toward younger audiences and are de-

signed to be fun family entertainment.

Events are spread throughout the City

and range to suit the interests of the many

citizens in Lacombe. There are free tours

at museums, a guided walking tour, a car

show, a youth street festival, local musi-

cians, a trade fair and even a ‘jumping

jack carnival.’

All of the funding for Lacombe Days is

either donated or raised by volunteers.

This means that to expand the festivities,

citizens can speak to organizations or

make personal contributions for future

years.

“I think to keep enhancing Lacombe

Days, we have to advocate for more com-

munity involvement. Lacombe has a tonne

of history and some beautiful historical

buildings. We have a wonderful communi-

ty that unfortunately a lot of people don’t

see.”

Volunteers are still needed for organiz-

ing the morning of the parade, and to as-

sist with the steak fry cabaret. Ross is ask-

ing for those willing to help to contact him

at 403-357-8810. He said he will accept calls

until the day before the events begin.

The vast majority of the events are free,

but some events are paid. All details re-

garding times and pricing for events are

available on the Lacombe Days web site,

www.lacombedays.ca/events.

“WE’RE TRYING TO ENHANCE THE AMOUNT OF STREET PERFORMERS AND CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES TO

ENTICE THE FAMILIES TO STAY THE AFTERNOON IN THE COMMUNITY. WE’RE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO

STAY FOR THE DURATION OF THE DAY, INSTEAD OF JUST HEADING HOME

AFTER THE PARADE.”

CHRIS ROSS

Volunteers work hard to make Lacombe Days happen

There is hope and a

brighter future when we

remember who was there

for us on our way up. In life

many people want to be in

with the popular or impor-

tant people. Sometimes we

just want to be recognized

and appreciated.

Often the people who

stand by us when we are

hurting and struggling get

forgotten when things turn

around and we are doing

better.

There is an attraction at

times to people who never

cared about us till we won

the lottery.

I saw pictures and a story

of a ‘nice couple in love’.

He is an old 73 and worth

multi-billions. She, the new

bride is a real looker and

just 25. She says she is very

deeply in love with him.

With a quick romance,

they got married and he is

so in love the senior groom

was thrilled to will half of

his multi-billion fortune to

his loving caring romantic

young wife. I trust this true

love works out for a long

time.

We are reminded in

James 2: 5-7, if impressed

with people’s wealth, pow-

er and position to be care-

ful, “Listen, dear friends.

Isn’t it clear by now that

God operates quite differ-

ently? He chose the world’s

down-and-out as the king-

dom’s fi rst citizens, with

full rights and privileges.

This kingdom is promised

to anyone who loves God.

And here you are abusing

these same citizens!

Isn’t it the high and

mighty who exploit you,

who use the courts to rob

you blind?

Aren’t they the ones

who scorn the new name—

‘Christian’?”

If we seek to be recog-

nized by ‘important peo-

ple’, we are slaves to their

slightest call or wish. I re-

member a friend who wrote

regularly sending lots of

money to a tele-evangelist

promoter.

He got personal letters

all the time saying, “Dear

Harry I was thinking about

you.”

When this speaker came

to town my friend thought

he would be able to spend

just fi ve minutes with his

‘personal friend’ who kept

writing and asking for his

fi nancial help. If he could

get this special person to

pray for him God would an-

swer.

He didn’t know if he and

his wife in shared prayer

together had greater an-

swers than a money raiser

who used a computer to

make my friend think he

knew him.

I am sure glad the Good

Lord keeps the books on

who is using tricks and

who is sincere.

We are told many will

say, “Lord we did all these

things for you?” And He

will say, “I never knew

you!”

As you look at this quote,

it is good advice, “Never

forget who was there when

no one else was.”

For some it may even

mean remembering our

parents with thanks.

Many have had a spouse

who worked tirelessly so

they could get their educa-

tion and degree.

Sadly while they remain

faithful to the good of the

couple, some after accom-

plishing their dream now

feel a disconnect then to

the spouse whose sup-

port helped them rise in

position, leaving them for

greener partners.

A very good friend and

songwriter wrote these

words to a catchy tune.

“Be nice to the little guy

on his way up because you

will meet him on your way

down.”

We are taught in the

scriptures what is called

the golden rule.

“Treat others the way

you want to be treated.”

If we don’t want to be

passed over and forgotten

when we have invested in

another’s success, though

we are not in control of

who others remember or

honour, we are in control

of whom we remember and

give honour to.

It is so important that

we don’t forget those who

have helped us along in

life. We are told to give

honour where honour is

due. Maybe it would be

good this summer to make

a list and see if some have

quietly slipped through the

cracks and take time to say

thanks.

COACHES Do you want your team covered?

SPORTSBY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

Some of Lacombe’s softball players

came home last weekend sporting some

new hardware.

At the Alberta U19 Provincial Softball

Championship on June 30th, Lacombe Ma-

trix defeated the Amisk Heat 12-3 to cap-

ture the gold medal.

Lacombe Matrix catcher Brooke McBur-

ney said that having the gold medal was an

incredible feeling.

“It feels great,” said McBurney. She add-

ed that some players only get to play in the

provincial tournament once in their lives

and for many of her teammates it would be

their last time at provincials in minor ball.

Coach Martin Sherrer said the record

for the Lacombe Matrix was only so-so

during the season. He said they were fairly

even between wins and losses but a strong

performance and winning a tournament

the weekend before provincials proved the

team could work well together.

Lacombe Matrix is made up of a hodge-

podge of players from different commu-

nities. Players from Ponoka, Red Deer as

well as Lacombe all appear on the roster.

McBurney said getting to know the other

players, most of who hadn’t even met be-

fore, was the biggest obstacle to overcome

as a team. She added the team’s improved

performance was a result of the players

building some chemistry.

“I think we just became more comfort-

able around each other because we got to

know each other better and we became

more of a team,” said McBurney.

Sherrer agreed.

“It was a throw-together team,” he said.

“It took a little while to come together, but

with some practice and some dedication

from the girls it started to pay off.”

Going into provincials, Sherrer and the

team were unsure of how they would do.

He said if the team had won only half of

their games, he would have considered it

a success.

However, the team performed much bet-

ter than that. Lacombe Matrix won fi ve out

of six games, including those in the provin-

cial playoffs and captured the gold medal.

It was after winning their last round robin

game to secure a place in provincial play-

offs that the team started to think they had

a shot at the championship, said Sherrer.

However, McBurney was beginning to

feel more comfortable as soon as the sec-

ond game in the round robin. McBurney

said the team was hitting well, fi elding well

and having a good time.

Having fun was important to the team,

said McBurney. She added that, when the

team was having fun, the tended to play

well. If they weren’t having fun, something

was going wrong.

Both Sherrer and McBurney said that

Lacombe Matrix went into provincials act-

ing like they could win the tournament.

Sherrer added that players were even a

little cocky, but when it came time to put

up or shut up, they were able to put their

money where their mouths were.

“They acted like they could win and

then they put it together on the fi eld,” said

Sherrer.

The tournament was not without its

challenges though. McBurney said that in

the semi-fi nal, Lacombe’s opponents were

one run away from winning the game in

the fi nal inning, making for a tense match.

At the end of the gold medal match, La-

combe Matrix was overjoyed with the out-

come.

“They were ecstatic,” said Sherrer.

“They couldn’t believe that they had man-

aged to pull a so-so season together and

peak just at the right time.”

Sherrer said that the team excelled be-

cause, while Lacombe Matrix was not ex-

ceptionally skilled in every aspect of the

game, each player had certain skills and

they were able to play a style of ball that

capitalized on what skills the team did

have.

He added that hitting improved greatly

throughout the season and Lacombe’s

pitching was, in his mind, the best at pro-

vincials.

“We have some really good local tal-

ents,” said Sherrer.

SPORTS


School is out for the summer,

but Cale Kooyman, 14, is keeping

busy as he prepares for the 2014

Alberta Summer Games.

Kooyman swims with the Red

Deer Marlins, and has qualifi ed

to compete alongside nearly 200

other swimmers ages 14 to 17.

“This will be my eighth year of

swimming. I like the fi tness level

and meeting new people. It gives

me something to do in the sum-

mer and keeps me active, instead

of just sitting around,” said Kooy-

man.

“I’m mostly training in breast-

stroke, because that’s what I’m

best at, so I’ll be doing a lot of

that.”

The breaststroke requires en-

durance and strength to perfect.

It is usually the slowest of swim-

ming methods but is often consid-

ered one of the hardest strokes to

compete with.

Kooyman said he also enjoys

the individual medley portion of

competitions, which includes but-

terfl y, backstroke, breaststroke

and a freestyle stroke.

“We’ve only had one meet this

year so I haven’t had the chance

to do more. I’ve done a lot of com-

petitions before, since I’ve been

swimming for a long time. I liked

the Lacombe meet because it’s

always fun. Provincials are fun

because there are so many people

involved.”

Nervousness is not an issue for

Kooyman, who has been swim-

ming for most of his life. He has

competed many times through-

out his career, from local meets in

Lacombe to big provincial meets.

“I’m excited. I’ve been prepar-

ing a lot for this and our coaches

are really good,” he said.

At 14 years old, Kooyman is on

the younger side of competitors.

He will be competing against

swimmers up to age 17, some of

who swim year-round, not just

from May to August.

Kooyman swims twice a day

on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and

Thursdays in July to prepare for

the Games.

Along with his love of swim-

ming, Kooyman also plays volley-

ball and basketball throughout

the school year. He said that swim-

ming alongside those two sports

in the school year would just be

too much, and he doesn’t want to

give anything up.

“For me, swimming and vol-

leyball are tied for my favourites.

Winter-club swimming (October

to July) is just too much with

school and volleyball and basket-

ball.”

Kooyman qualifi ed for the

Summer Games with a breast-

stroke, but now that he has been

accepted, he can choose to com-

pete in a number of events. The

Games take place in Airdrie and

are formatted as a three-day col-

lection of youth sporting events.

All across Canada youths are

training hard in their respective

sports. The swimmers are orga-

nized in eight zones from across

the province, and represent each

zone as an Olympian would rep-

resent their country. The goal of

many of these young athletes is to

one day compete in the Canadian

Summer Games, which brings

them one step closer to the Olym-

pics.

There are 18 events and two re-

lays for the swimmers to choose

from and Kooyman is looking for-

ward to the competition.

The Lacoka Bantam Lo-

cos have wrapped up a stel-

lar season with silver med-

als at the Alberta Lacrosse

Provincial Championships

in Edmonton July 4-6th.

After being dominant in

their league all season and

taking the league champi-

onship, Lacoka steamrolled

through their opponents

at provincials to get to the

gold medal game.

In an exciting and emo-

tional gold medal game,

Lacoka lost 11-10 to the

High River Heat in dou-

ble overtime. Coach Cam

Green said, while the Lo-

cos were, understandably,

disappointed by the loss,

he couldn’t be happier with

the fi nish.

“I was so proud of what

they had accomplished.”

Green has often men-

tioned how passionate and

driven his team is when it

comes to playing lacrosse.

He has also said it is that

drive that allowed them

to dominate the Central

Alberta Lacrosse League

(CALL) this season.

Evidently, the Locos

carried that trend into the

provincial tournament. Up

until the fi nal, Lacoka out-

scored all its opponents by

large margins defeating

Sherwood Park, Lakeland,

Grande Prairie and Ed-

monton 14-1, 11-4, 25-3 and

15-1 respectively.

Green said the Locos’ fo-

cus for provincials was de-

fense. In the fi nal, Lacoka

met much stiffer competi-

tion. Green also said Laco-

ka had played High River

before in exhibition match-

es. He said the game was

close all the way through,

with the teams trading

goals and neither gaining a

strong upper hand.

Lacoka opened scoring

with a few goals, High Riv-

er caught up and took the

lead, then Lacoka would do

the same and so on.

“It was exciting, the

way a championship game

should be.”

With 22 seconds left,

Lacoka was up by one point

and thinking they had the

game in the bag. However,

High River managed to

score once more and force

the game into overtime.

When the fi rst overtime

period ended with neither

team scoring, a second sud-

den death overtime was

played. Green said Lacoka

pushed themselves hard

in overtime, overcoming

fatigue with their tremen-

dous heart, but High River

still managed to sneak one

shot past the goal and win

the game.

Green reiterated that he

is more than satisfi ed with

the season his team had

this year. He also congratu-

lated the High River Heat

on a game well played and

tipped his hat to the Heat

goaltender in particular.

In Loving Memory ofBrandon Orest Schur

June 17, 1993 - July 9, 2013The moment that you left me,

my heart was split in two,one side was fi lled with memories,the other side died with you.

I often lay awake at nightwhen the world is fast asleep.and take a walk down memory lane

with tears upon my cheek.Remembering you is easy,

I do it every day,but missing you is a heartache

that never goes away.I hold you tightly within my

heart and there you will remain,you see life has gone on

without youbut will never be the same.

ARTS & LEISUREBY ERIN FAWCETTLacombe Express

A Central Alberta actor

is relishing his role as Je-

sus for the Canadian Bad-

lands Passion Play.

Aaron Krogman, who

grew up in Red Deer, has

been cast as Jesus for the

second year in a row.

As of its 20th season

in 2013, the Canadian

Badlands Passion Play

in Drumheller has been

seen by more than 250,000

people. It returns this year

with a third weekend of

shows for the fi rst time, pre-

senting weekend evening

and matinee performances

from July 11-27th. The pro-

duction, which includes

hundreds of performers on

a stage the size of six foot-

ball fi elds, tells the ‘great-

est story ever told’ - the sto-

ry of the birth, life, death,

and resurrection of Jesus

Christ, in Canada’s largest

natural outdoor amphithe-

atre.

As for his role as Jesus,

Krogman said it has been

an interesting role to tack-

le.

“It’s challenging. You

want to do the research to

see who Jesus is. It’s hard

to know what it’s like to be

God. According to the story

we’re telling, Jesus is God,

but he’s also man and that

is the really accessible side

of things,” he said. “That’s

kind of the entry point –

to fi nd ways about what it

would be like for me to go

through these things and to

know that Jesus was also

man – some of these things

would be resonating for

him.

“I think everyone in the

audience brings so much

context to the story already

for the character of Jesus

and for the story. My job is

to do the best that I can as

an actor.”

He added he has en-

joyed performing in such a

unique setting as well.

“It’s a one-of-a-kind of

experience for me. It’s

quite an amazing thing to

be part of 200 people that

are choreographed and to

have such a big audience

come and give their atten-

tion to it. That doesn’t hap-

pen very often and there is

something pretty amazing

about it,” said Krogman.

“At fi rst it’s totally weird.

It’s not a small little stage

or set. It’s more realistic.

When I have to carry the

cross up the hill, it takes

some effort and I’m really

tired when I get to the top

of it. It is really me carry-

ing a beam up the hill. But

it’s really cool because you

don’t have to imagine most

of the stuff, there’s a real-

ity to it that makes it really

palatable and real for me.”

In addition to celebrating

its 20th season last year,

the Passion Play was also

awarded the ALTO Award

for Alberta Pride. Execu-

tive Director Vance Neu-

dorf, attributes the recent

growth of the play to recent

improvements on the pro-

duction, increased promo-

tional efforts and these ac-

complishments, but shares

that most people indicate

that they come to the play

after hearing a recommen-

dation from a friend.

In addition to the ex-

panded show times, the

Canadian Badlands Pas-

sion Play will feature an

updated script, score, and

staging, all orchestrated by

a talented group of Alberta

artists. More than 200 per-

formers (a mix of profes-

sional and volunteer actors

and musicians of all ages)

will be featured in this pro-

duction, with more than

500 volunteers contribut-

ing to the production each

year, making it the largest

volunteer-driven produc-

tion in Alberta, and one of

the biggest in Canada with

more the 45,000 volunteer

hours annually.

On average, 60% of at-

tendees who experience

the Passion Play are return

visitors and 75% of attend-

ees are from Alberta, with

guests traveling from as far

as Africa, Europe and Asia.

Krogman said for those

who haven’t experienced

the Passion Play, they can

expect to see something

spectacular.

“They can expect to see

something that they think

they know in a totally new

way. It’s quite the spectacle

– when you see the story in

that setting, it’s phenome-

nal. There’s something that

just grabs you and it’s kind

of magical. It’s moving. I

think people will just feel

really amazed and blown

away by what they see.

The story is just gripping

anyways – people know the

story to a certain degree, so

there isn’t going to be any

surprises there – but seeing

it in that context, I bet peo-

ple will see things that they

didn’t expect to see.”

He added he has enjoyed

many things about work-

ing on the Passion Play and

that the opportunity to play

Jesus has changed him.

“It’s a chance to spend

some time with an impor-

tant bit of text. I think it’s

changed me and it’s chal-

lenged me. It’s been a privi-

lege. The show is based on

text that has changed our

world and the history of

the world and it goes way

back but it’s still really rel-

evant. I appreciate that,” he

said. “Other than that it’s a

ton of fun and to be able to

spend the summer outside

is great. I think any actor

would be thrilled to get this

job.”

The Canadian Badlands

Passion Play runs July 11th

to July 27th in Drumheller.

Evening performances

which begin at 6 p.m. will

take place July 11th, 12th,

18th, 25th and 26th. After-

noon performances which

begin at 3 p.m. will run July

13th, 19th, 20th and 27th.

Tickets are available on-

line or via phone at 1-888-

823-2001, or at the door

($5 fee per ticket). Tickets

range $43-$63 for adults,

with special rates for youth

Artist works for sale during Lacombe DaysBY KALISHA MENDONSALacombe Express

The various works of Ponoka

artist Charlie Donald will be sold

during Lacombe Days, with all pro-

ceeds going to the Lacombe Art En-

dowment Fund, fuelling a student

art award in Donald’s name.

The late Central Alberta artist

passed away earlier this year and

his family has since donated more

than 1,000 pieces of art to be sold

during Lacombe Days to raise prof-

its for the endowment fund.

“He was just a really interesting

man. He was never married and

loved to teach kids art and paint-

ing and those kinds of things. So

far, we have an inventory of almost

1,200 pieces and we still have two

more boxes to go through,” said

Maureen MacKenzie, community

services executive assistant for

the City of Lacombe. She added

the works vary from watercolour

and acrylic paintings, to sandstone

sculptures to pen and ink draw-

ings. “It’s phenomenal, almost

overwhelming. This is just a tre-

mendous amount of artwork.”

During Lacombe Days, interest-

ed buyers can stop by the Lacombe

Memorial Centre foyer to purchase

some of Donald’s work. His pieces

will be available on Friday from

noon until 8 p.m., on Saturday from

10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from

noon until 3 p.m.

The works range in price, size

and style. The prices range from

$25 to approximately $100.

“He was quite well-known. He

used to take painting lessons from

(local watercolourist) Sonia Zacha-

rias, and took lessons at Red Deer

College. He exhibited in Lacombe

and Calgary and other various

places.”

Through the City of Lacombe

Art Endowment Fund, a student

art award has been created in Don-

ald’s name, and will be awarded to

a student for the fi rst time in 2015.

Each year, artwork is juried and

prizes are given out at the Art Ex-

hibition and Sale that occurs in

April. This year, along with the

Dustin Piers Memorial Student Art

Award and two general art scholar-

ships of $250, the Charlie Donald

Student Art Award will be handed

out to a lucky local artist for the

fi rst time.

“Each year, during the Art Ex-

hibit and Sale event in Lacombe in

April, we encourage students from

the Wolf Creek School Division to

submit their art, along with some

other submissions from children

outside of the division. The art-

work is juried and then they are

awarded $250 art scholarships.

“Charlie Donald was a visual

artist and quite a character. He

was an avid painter, getting up at

nearly 5:30 a.m. every morning and

painting until noon or one in the

afternoon. He painted thousands

of paintings.”

Some of Donald’s watercolour

paintings are also being sold at the

Lacombe Farmers’ Market.

John Dillinger, the no-

torious bank robber, was

once asked why he robbed

banks. He replied, “That’s

where the money is.” To-

day, if you asked infectious

disease experts where Clos-

tridium diffi cile resides,

they would reply, “It’s in

hospitals. It’s dangerous

and can be lethal.”

Other experts might

warn that many C diffi cile

infections could be avoided

if North Americans would

stop looking for pills to

treat every complaint.

We have millions of bac-

teria living in our large

bowels, usually not mak-

ing war with one another.

Studies show about 3% of

adults and 70% of healthy

infants have C diffi cile in

their intestines.

But when antibiotics are

prescribed to treat pneu-

monia, ear infections, blad-

der or sinus infections,

they often upset the bal-

ance of power between bac-

teria. This allows C diffi cile

to increase and produce a

toxin that causes diarrhea.

C diffi cile has become a ma-

jor problem for hospitals.

Today, there’s increased

likelihood of developing

this infection in hospital if

you are elderly, have a sup-

pressed immune system or

are being treated for a ma-

lignancy.

Several studies also show

a link in patients who are

taking proton pump inhibi-

tors (PPIs) such as Nexium,

Losec, Prevacid, Pantoloc,

Pariet and Tecta.

A report in the Journal

of Pediatric Pharmacol-

ogy claims that 15-20% of

patients receiving antibiot-

ics develop antibiotic diar-

rhea. Another report from

the Mayo Clinic says every

year three million North

Americans develop C. dif-

fi cile infections.

The diagnosis is made by

examining a stool to detect

its presence or its toxin.

Treatment in most cases

is to discontinue the offend-

ing antibiotic.

This allows normal

bacteria in the bowel to

recover and is successful

in about 25% of cases. Or

other antibiotics may be

needed in an attempt to kill

C. diffi cile. But in spite of

treatment about 10 to 20%

of patients have recurring

bouts of pain, diarrhea and

skin irritation.

So what do you do if all

treatment fails and C diffi -

cile results in up to 40 bow-

el movements daily? Some

doctors have use the ‘fecal

transplant’ or more to the

point, the fecal enema. This

approach is not without

controversy.

But if you are seriously

ill, and may die from the

infection, it’s no laughing

matter.

Fecal donors are usually

parents, spouses, siblings

or relatives and the stools

are tested to rule out hep-

atitis infection, HIV and

screened for parasites and

C diffi cile.

The fi rst fecal enema

was given by a Dr Thomas

Louie, head of infectious

disease at Foothills Hospi-

tal in Calgary in 1996. Since

that time the procedure has

been carried out in other

countries. Some authori-

ties claim a success rate of

89%.

It appears that critics

may have to stop poo-poo-

ing the idea.

See the web site www.doc-giff.com. For comments email [email protected].

How many would agree to a fecal enema?

Have you embraced summer

yet? Do you truly believe that it

has arrived? This past weekend

gave us our fi rst taste of the beau-

ty of summer and I’m running

into a lot of people with bright

red faces and tales of patios and

mosquito bites.

Does your home refl ect sum-

mer? Have you brought the out-

doors in, drawn back long for-

gotten curtains and polished up

your windows to allow the view

and sunshine to fl ood your home?

This is the time to pull out all the

stops, the very limited time in Al-

berta when we can live two lives

– outdoor and indoor. Outdoor

we decorate our tables and patios

with colours unheard of in our

mild mannered interiors. There

is a wide variety of hot fuchsia,

mariner blue and lime green so

bright you just gotta wear shades!

When would we set our indoor

dinner table with brightly striped

napkins and plastic holders em-

blazoned with shimmery dragon-

fl ies? Would we put large metal

buckets shiny with primary paint

colours on our Thanksgiving ta-

ble used to house citronella can-

dles or bottles of beer? Of course

we wouldn’t which is what makes

summer so fun and carefree. En-

tertaining is casual and colourful

and our décor becomes the most

whimsical it could ever be. Buy a

box of popsicles and let their pure

hues inspire you to create a magi-

cal area on your deck.

This summer it’s all about the

patio, making the most of our

short season and decorating it

to the max! Summer décor is

cheap and cheerful and so much

fun, what other time of the year

can you hold a fabulous dinner

party using plastic plates? Use

your patio to its fullest potential

this summer, string colourful

lights and play the song Patio

Lanterns throughout the night

so people get the theme. Haul in

large galvanized buckets fi lled

with ice and your favorite bottled

beverages so your guests can help

themselves. Consider an outdoor

area rug and outdoor furniture

in addition to your deck table and

chairs, even a favorite spot under

a tree can become an instant fo-

cal point with comfy chairs and a

fi re pit.

Take on the colours of the sea-

son. Your accessories should be

as bright and colourful as the

food you are serving. Watermel-

on, lemonade, bright green vege-

tables – all of these primary tones

can serve as inspiration to your

design palette. The classic red

and white checked gingham with

all white accessories is another

fun way to show off your beauti-

ful summer fare but throw in an

unexpected accent of cobalt blue

or even varying shades of orange.

Try to theme your service and

your food, change the napkins for

the dessert course so that they

match the beautiful homemade

sorbet you will be presenting to

your guests and always use fresh

fl owers or greenery on your table.

Have your friends vote your

house ‘best patio’ this summer

as you host the most fabulous

outing. The memories you create

will carry your heart and sanity

through the many cold months

ahead. You owe it to yourself to

be on your patio and then on the

patio of a close friend or family

member – make the most of this

summer and enjoy!
