The Penhold Air Cadet
Summer Training Centre
recently held a public open
house to showcase the cadet cours-
es. Aerospace activities, an air
rifl e demo and a sunset ceremony
were all highlighted that evening.
The open house was for the en-
tire camp as there were sea cadets
and army cadets but the majority
of youth there were air cadets.
With hundreds of cadets and
family members on site for the
event there were authority fi g-
ures in the mix. One such person
was Chief Petty Offi cer 2nd Class
Raymond Evans.
Evans has been involved in the
cadets program for six years and
he can testify about how cadets
has the potential to change young
people’s lives. He believes that be-
ing involved with the cadets give
you life skills -- not just skills for
the military.
Evans joined cadets when he
was 13. He was looking for some-
thing to occupy his time and his
parents suggested cadets. He
accepted but admits that shoot-
ing stuff was a big draw for him,
however, cadets started to mean
much more to him.
Evans is currently a Squadron
One offi cer and has 135 cadets un-
der him.
“If you would have told me six
years ago, when I was 13, that I
would be in charge of 135 people,
I would have thought you were
joking,” said Evans.
For him the fi rst year was “all
right” but then he went to sum-
mer camp and that is what really
cemented it for him. He found
that he learned a lot and he met
many amazing people.
It was the summer camps, like
the one he is a leader in now, that
kept him coming back. Evans has
been to camps around the coun-
try. He has been from B.C. to On-
tario to Nova Scotia and has met
many exciting people. He has also
had the privilege of meeting the
Chief of Defense Staff twice.
“Cadets provides you with op-
portunities that you would not
normally get with Boy Scouts or
other youth programs.”
Evans said that cadets will also
help you grow as a person. It is not
just ‘this is fun let’s get our merit
badges.’ This will help a young
person change into a better, more
responsible citizen later on in life.
“Cadets will help you with
things like leadership, and it
teaches you how to carry your-
self,” said Evans. “You also learn
what respect is, how you earn it
and how to give it back. These
skills were non-existent when
I was 13 and shy and new to ca-
dets,” he said. “Cadets has also
defi nitely helped me grow,” he
said. “It has helped me be a leader
to younger people.”
As a leader now, Evans can see
the potential in his cadets and he
tries to help them unlock it. “That
is the goal. The thing with cadets
is what you put into it is what
you will get out. If you want it to
change you it will,” said Evans.
For Evans being a role model
is “a great sense of accomplish-
ment.”
“It feels amazing to inspire kids
to try their hardest and to grow
as people.”
“THE THING WITH CADETS IS WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT IS
WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT. IF YOU WANT IT TO CHANGE
YOU, IT WILL.”

Red Deer is fi nally be-
coming part of Alberta’s
ALERT (Alberta Law
Enforcement Response
Team). City council voted
Monday to partner in the
establishment of a regional
Combined Forces Special
Enforcement Unit to fi ght
organized crime in Central
Alberta.
Mayor Morris Flew-
welling welcomed the City
becoming part of the pro-
gram. “We know Red Deer,
because it’s in the Edmon-
ton – Calgary corridor,
is targeted by organized
crime and is targeted by
the illicit drug trade. We
know we need to be on top
of that and this will give us
a leg up for the whole re-
gion.”
Council approved joining
the unit as part of its mid-
year budget review. The
City will contribute half
the cost, up to $150,000, for
providing offi ce space for
the 15-person unit. Three
Red Deer RCMP offi cers
will join the unit to start
and the City will provide
three more, one a year,
over the next three years.
The province will fund the
other nine positions. Coun-
cil was unanimous in sup-
porting the move.
Councillor Tara Veer
said, “Our City is a cen-
tral location for organized
crime and this is an issue
we need to address.” Coun-
cillor Paul Harris added,
“As the only city in Alberta
without ALERT, we need to
be part of the team.”
RCMP Supt. Warren Dos-
ko said the unit, “Will focus
on the most serious crimes
and have the biggest im-
pact on our community, (al-
though) it’s not just a drug
unit. … This is a huge step
forward.”
He noted that many mi-
nor as well as major crimes
are involved with drugs
and organized crime: car
thefts, break-ins and other
crimes are often commit-
ted by people looking for
quick money for drugs. Red
Deer’s central location be-
tween Edmonton and Cal-
gary also is handy for orga-
nized crime that, up until
now, faced ALERT units
in those cities, as well as
Lethbridge, Medicine Hat,
Grande Prairie and Fort
McMurray.
ALERT was incorporat-
ed in 2006 as a non-profi t
corporation to bring to-
gether the province’s most
sophisticated law enforce-
ment resources to tackle
serious and organized
crime. Most of the funding
is provided by the province,
with additional funding by
the Canadian government.
ALERT recently took part
in a major provincial drug
bust. Calgary has 76 people
in its ALERT unit while Ed-
monton has 72.
The philosophy is that
the most urgent crimes,
usually involving drugs
or other organized crime
activities, go beyond mu-
nicipal boundaries and
that approaches to this
must be borderless and use
municipal, provincial and
federal resources. Police
forces need to pool their re-
sources to provide the best
and most cost effective re-
sponse possible.
“OUR CITY IS A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR ORGANIZED CRIME AND
THIS IS AN ISSUE WE NEED TO ADDRESS.”

TRANSIT PREPARES BACK TO SCHOOL INFORMATION
Red Deer Transit is pre-paring for the school year with updated school over-load information and the 2012/13 Ride Guide for regu-lar routes.
School overload bro-chures are available at the Sorensen Station Customer Service Centre.
To facilitate students pur-chasing their fi rst passes of the school year, students in Grades 1 to 12 are offered a grace period between 6:15 a.m. and 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5; during these times students may ride without charge to or from school.
Red Deer Transit 2012/13 Ride Guides will also be avail-able at Sorensen Station, Collicutt Centre, Parkland Mall guest services, Red Deer College Students Associa-tion, the Tourism Red Deer offi ce and on board all buses.
And if students want to ride their bikes to school at the start of the year, the newly installed bike lanes may make it easier to pedal to class.
Bike racks are also in-
stalled on the front of all Red Deer buses, so students can bike and ride to school.
Bike lanes have been installed by a number of schools in the City, and do not impact transit drop off and pick up zones.
Red Deer Transit buses can cross into bike lanes to drop off students at desig-nated passenger stops.
For more information visit www.reddeer.ca/transit.

Most people have a few
pieces of jewellery that
they haven’t worn in years
or that they just don’t care
for; now is the time to give
them a new home.
Tools For Schools Africa
Foundation (TFSAF) is
holding an event on Sept.
27th where people can en-
joy wine, chocolate, des-
sert, door prizes and a wide
arrangement of jewellery.
Marilyn Pottage, chair of
the board for TFSAF, said
the point of the event was
to fi nd a way to continue
to support the scholarship
funds they provide.
“We have a group of men-
tors in all of the schools in
northern Ghana watch-
ing for girls who are very
strong academically and
have strong character and
leadership skills, but have
no other way to continue
in school unless they get
fi nancial aid,” said Pottage.
She said the money raised
will go towards educating
the girls, keeping them in
school and providing post-
secondary opportunities.
The program has helped
four girls get into universi-
ty. This fall will see 13 more
apply. “When the program
started the number of girls
with a high school educa-
tion was very low. If we can
get the number up the com-
munities see greater eco-
nomic development, better
health care and a better
democratic system too.”
She said while this pro-
gram specifi cally looks at
the girls needing the fi nan-
cial aid to continue educa-
tion, Tools for Schools does
provide help to boys as well.
The initial goal of the
project was to improve the
standard of living by in-
creasing the access to post-
primary education. “In
2010 we even built a board-
ing house for girls so the
girls coming from the rural
areas could come in and
stay there to go to school.”
The project got its start
in 2003 and has grown since
then to help about 60 girls
at a time. They are all from
the northern region of
Ghana. Pottage said they
also went so far as to pub-
lish a book called 9 Degrees
North, which included facts
about northern Ghana,
which lies nine degrees
north of the equator. “The
idea was to provide a book
the students could read
about their own area.
“The girls are all such
gems, and that’s part of
why we called the event
Shine!”
Tickets are $35 or a fi ve-
pack for $150. People un-
able to attend but who
would like to help are invit-
ed to take their unwanted
costume or real jewellery
to Artistry in Gold at 5001
– 50 St. by the fi rst week of
September.
“We have had celebrities
donate items including a
signed picture from John
Travolta, a bracelet made
in Uganda from Alison Red-
ford and much more.”

OPINION
The other day I watched
a DVD about a courageous
young woman who, during
the horrors of the Second
World War, helped rescue
more than 2,500 Jewish
children from the German-
occupied Warsaw ghettos.
Irena Sendler, who
passed away in 2008 at
the age of 93, was a social
worker at the time. She
helped to organize a system
of providing the children
with false identity docu-
ments and transporting
them to homes where they
would be safe. She and her
co-workers also buried lists
of the hidden children in
jars in order to keep track
of their original and new
identities. The plan was
that, when the war was
over, they would be re-
turned to Jewish relatives.
According to the web site
History’s Heroes, from the
outbreak of the war, Send-
ler was always concerned
about the plight of the Jew-
ish people. She risked her
life by giving them food
and shelter. At the time of
the creation of the Warsaw
Ghetto, she was working
for the city’s health depart-
ment as a nurse and social
worker. “Sendler organized
and directed a children’s
rescue group amongst her
colleagues, to smuggle Jew-
ish children from the Ghet-
to. The task was momen-
tous. Behind the high walls
enclosing the Ghetto, the
people were packed togeth-
er in appalling conditions.
They smuggled out the
children in many ingenious
ways (in tool boxes, in cof-
fi ns, through churches and
cellars) and arranged for
them to be taken to emer-
gency safe houses.”
The risk of execution
was always a reality, but
it never deterred Sendler
from boldly moving for-
ward with her mission.
Eventually, the Nazis did
learn about her efforts, and
she was arrested in 1943.
She was tortured and sen-
tenced to death.
According to History’s
Heroes, during her interro-
gation, they broke her legs
and feet but she refused to
reveal any names. “On the
way to her execution she
escaped, with the help of
friends, and went into hid-
ing.”
Watching the fi lm, (The
Courageous Heart of Irena
Sendler), I was struck by
the bravery of Sendler. In
spite of unimaginable sur-
roundings when people
lived in constant fear for
their lives, she pressed on
with a single-minded com-
mitment and devotion to
her cause. For Sendler,
there simply was no other
choice – these children
needed to be rescued and
that was that. In spite of
the reality that such work
could cost her her own life,
she didn’t waver.
It’s always inspiring to
learn of such people down
through history, and obvi-
ously there were many like
her during those years who
put their own lives on the
line in their struggles to
help others.
When the war was over
Sendler passed the list of
the children’s names to
the Central Committee of
Jews in Poland. Sadly, most
of their parents had been
murdered in the Treblinka
death camp, where approx-
imately 777,000 people were
transported. The list was
taken to Israel where it was
copied many times.
After the war, Sendler
went on to live ‘an ordinary
life’. Clearly, her life and
her profoundly moving leg-
acy were anything but ordi-
nary. And like a true hero,
Sendler even indicated that
she didn’t feel like she did
enough. Neither did she
wish for any acclaim.
She was honoured, how-
ever, but she had to wait
a long time to collect an
award given to her by the
Yad Vashem Holocaust me-
morial in Jerusalem. She
was one of the fi rst to be
given the ‘Righteous Gen-
tiles’ honour for wartime
heroics, in 1964. The Com-
munist regime in Poland
would not give her a pass-
port and she had to wait
until 1984 to collect it.
And as mentioned, amaz-
ingly, in spite of her efforts
to help others, she some-
how felt she should have
done more. Such an atti-
tude, when considering the
difference she made in so
many lives, is hard to un-
derstand. But it offers us a
closer look into the heart of
an amazing human being.
“I continue,” she said,
“To have pangs of con-
science that I did so little.”
Offering summer ‘support’
Humanitarian’s legacy of inspiration remains strong
With the summer months, it’s easy to
get caught up in the spirit of entertaining
oneself, dropping the scheduling when
vacation times rolls around and just mak-
ing every effort to soak up the sun and
heat – an all too brief experience for Cen-
tral Albertans.
Certainly nothing wrong with that,
particularly in a climate where the bulk
of the year is spent in less than ideal tem-
peratures and weather conditions.
But while vacations are planned and
enjoyed, of course, the issues and de-
mands of life carry on as per usual. That
includes local organizations who must
continue to fundraise and rely on the pub-
lic’s generosity in order to carry on their
missions and mandates. The need also ex-
tends to volunteer support as well.
For example, Canadian Blood Services
has pointed out that the summer months
can be a challenging time – people’s do-
nation routines which are usually fi rmly
established in the colder months can get a
bit lost in the shuffl e of summer’s list of
holiday plans and activities.
But that doesn’t mean the need for
blood drops.
According to CBS, approximately every
minute of every day, someone in Canada
needs blood. In fact, according to a recent
poll, 52% of Canadians say they, or a fam-
ily member, have needed blood or blood
products for surgery or for medical treat-
ment. The call is out – as it is year-round
– for a consistent supply of donors to keep
dropping by even when the temperatures
soar. Before summer kicks in, back in
June, the organization sets aside a week
to get the word out – and works to keep
that message connecting with the public
all summer.
Other organizations that can be affect-
ed in the summer months are food banks.
As with blood donations, the need doesn’t
drop off depending on the time of year.
It’s important that we as a community re-
member to lend a helping hand. It’s awful
to think that there are many families and
individuals in our midst who continue to
struggle to simply put food on the table.
As with the demand for blood dona-
tions, if more people would take the time
to give, these organizations could go about
their work without the stress of wonder-
ing how to further stretch their resourc-
es. It’s really about everybody doing their
part – no matter how small it might seem
to be.
There is no doubt of the solid support
that is offered by Red Deerians through
the year. Time and again, we in the me-
dia hear offi cials in the non-profi t sector
praise the public for their help. It’s an in-
spiring thing to know, and something that
certainly defi nes the nature of this com-
munity – and hopefully continues to de-
fi ne it – no matter what time of year it is.

“Doctor, I Can’t Go on Living with this Peripheral Neuropathy and All this Excruciating Foot and Leg Pain!”
Do You Have Severe Neuropathy Pain?
You can’t sleep because at night your legs feel like they were eaten by little bugs or chewed on by small animals. Your feet feel filled with Novocain or too heavy to carry.During the day you can hardly walk and every step sends shooting pain like lightning from your toes and up your legs up almost to your knees. At night even the sheet feels to heavy, your feet burn and you are losing sleep or can only sleep with danger-ous drugs.You have numbness in your feet so bad that you can’t feel your feet very well and may even have noticeable balance problems.

“The treatment here has been nothing short of a miracle. I have been everywhere and seen every specialist. I was on 4 medications for my pain and 3 more medications because of the side effects of the pain drugs. I had no hope. Now after 2 weeks, I am sleeping better, the pain in my foot is less than half and the burning is gone. I am very excited and would recommend Dr. Polzintoany one who is suffering with pain.”- Debra S. Bellevue, WA.
“The treatment that I have been receiving has been life altering. I had no idea what the real cause of my pain or even how bad it was because I was tak-ing drugs daily. After only a few treatments the left leg pain is completely GONE. I can bend over to pick up my son and I am FEELING GREAT!”- Mark B, Redmond, WA

Red Deer’s fi nances are
right where they should be
when it comes to its annu-
al budget, as City council
learned on Monday during
its fi rst ever mid-year bud-
get review. City Manager
Craig Curtis, summing
up the 2012 budget year
so far, says except for one
higher than expected col-
lective agreement (for the
RCMP) everything is basi-
cally going as planned and
the City’s annual budget is
showing a slight surplus.
“We’re in good shape go-
ing forward,” said Mayor
Morris Flewwelling. “This
is something new for us.
At this time of the year all
the various departments
are looking at their 2013
budgets anyway, so it’s a
wonderful opportunity for
council to reconnect with
the realities of the budget-
ing process.
“Setting the budget is
one of the four key things
that council does and this
is a good time to look back
and look ahead. However,
we have to guard the agen-
da very carefully.”
Council sets the City’s
annual budget in January.
However, council took
time during the review to
approve several items, the
cost of which varied be-
tween the 2012 budget and
the still to be set 2013 bud-
get. For example, council
approved $20,000 for the
2013 Special Olympics Al-
berta Spring Games (host-
ed by Red Deer) from the
2012 budget, and approved
$173,000 for a 2013 City cen-
sus to be funded in the 2013
budget.
Council also approved
$70,000 to purchase an ad-
ditional Action Bus plus
annual operating costs
of $106,000, to answer in-
creased demands for handi-
capped bus services.
However, council turned
down a request for an ad-
ditional conventional bus
at a cost of $445,000, putting
it off until the 2013 budget.
Other funding issues in-
volved approving $3,820 to
reopen the Fairview skat-
ing rink, but council de-
clined a request to resume
30-minute bus service after
10:45 p.m. (despite a peti-
tion with almost 500 signa-
tures). Cutting that funding
from the 2012 budget result-
ed in savings of $160,000.
Council also learned that
a 2012 budget addition of
$475,000 to the City’s pre-
ventative roadway mainte-
nance repaired over 14,000
potholes on City roads,
compared to an annual av-
erage of 4,000 to 5,000 re-
pairs.
Councillor Frank Wong
said, “This is the fi rst time
we’ve done this. Yes, it’s a
good idea to see where we
are, but I don’t like this
bringing in (new) items to
be approved. Some people
think they can get issues
on (the agenda) but I don’t
think we should do that.
We’re going to spend a little
more.”

Provincial health offi -
cials have announced Al-
berta’s fi rst confi rmed case
of West Nile virus since
2010.
“This individual has not
traveled outside of Alberta
this season, meaning she
was bitten by an infected
mosquito right here in our
province,” said Dr. David
Strong, Alberta Health
Services’ acting south zone
medical offi cer of health.
“This is an unfortunate
reminder that some mos-
quitoes do carry West Nile
virus, so it’s simply best to
avoid being bitten at all.”
Due to patient confi den-
tiality legislation, AHS will
not be releasing further in-
formation about this West
Nile virus case except that
the woman is under 65 and
lives in southern Alberta.
West Nile virus is a
mosquito-borne virus that
can cause West Nile Non-
Neurological Syndrome
(formerly known as West
Nile fever). Occasionally
it can cause the more seri-
ous West Nile Neurological
Syndrome. West Nile virus
was fi rst isolated in 1937
in the West Nile district of
Uganda.
Since then, there have
been outbreaks in Egypt,
Israel, South Africa, and in
parts of Europe, Asia and
North America.
Whether gardening, golf-
ing, fi shing or even just
relaxing outdoors, there
are several tips Albertans
should follow, including
applying mosquito repel-
lent with DEET, wearing
long-sleeved, light-colored
shirts and pants and wear-

Folks should also consid-
er staying indoors at dawn
and dusk when mosquitoes
are most active, he said.
“These steps can make it
harder for mosquitoes to
fi nd you – and, remember:
if they can’t fi nd you, they
can’t bite you.”
Offi cials say there are 44
species of mosquitoes in
Alberta and that of these,
the Culex tarsalis has been
identifi ed as the species
most likely to carry and
transmit the virus from
infected birds to people
and horses. The breeding
season of the Culex tarsa-
lis runs from mid-June to
September. The risk of con-
tracting West Nile virus in-
creases during this period
and peaks during August.
Some people who become
infected with non-neuro-
logical syndrome show no
symptoms at all. However,
symptoms that could occur
can include fever, chills,
nausea, vomiting, fatigue,
skin rash, swollen glands
and headache.
For the small number of
individuals who do develop
the neurological syndrome,
infection can lead to trem-
ors, drowsiness, confusion,
swallowing problems, high
fever, unconsciousness, pa-
ralysis and even death.
As of Aug. 11, 34 human
cases of West Nile virus in-
fection have been reported
in Canada (not including
Alberta’s fi rst case). Last
year, 102 cases of West Nile
virus were confi rmed in
Canada.
Looking back, 2007 saw
quite a high incidence rate
across the prairies which
did include some travel-re-
lated cases – 320 in Alberta,
1,456 in Saskatchewan and
587 in Manitoba.

MUNICIPAL PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS

Cronquist House centennial
Michael
D A W E
This year marks the
100th anniversary of one
of the most picturesque
landmarks in Red Deer. In
1912, Emanuel Pettersson
Cronquist built a beautiful
three-story brick mansion,
which stood in West Park
Estates, but is now located
at Bower Ponds.
Emanuel Pettersson was
born in Sweden on April
10, 1854. He became a suc-
cessful merchant. On Feb.
6, 1886, he married Hilda
Carlsdater in Varmland,
Sweden. Over the next
seven years, they had four
children, three boys and
one daughter.
Emanuel was ambitious.
In May 1892, he went to
western Canada to look for
opportunities. He returned
in July 1893 with his family
to settle on a homestead in
the Burnt Lake district.
Tragedy struck when
two sons passed away on
the trip to Canada. Despite
the blow, the family began
the work of starting their
farm and creating a home.
Initially, they lived in a
one-room log house, with
a sod roof. As they became
more established, they
were able to build a two-
storey addition. The family
grew as well with two more
sons being born. Because
there was another Petters-
son family in the district,
the mail often got mixed
up. Emanuel added the
surname Cronquist after
Pettersson to end the con-
fusion. As Emanuel con-
tinued to build up his farm,
he became a skilled trader
in livestock, particularly
cattle, horses and sheep. He
also assisted other Swedish
immigrants to settle in the
area. In the fall of 1901, the
Cronquists bought land on
the southwest side of Red
Deer, in what is now West
Park. This became their
new home. Over the years,
the Cronquists acquired
more quarters of land, un-
til they were farming near-
ly 800 acres.
In 1902, Emanuel Cron-
quist branched into new
businesses. He opened a
sandstone quarry on the
south bank of the river.
He subsequently supplied
building stone across Cen-
tral Alberta.
With his farming and
livestock operations, ex-
panding business interests,
and skillful investments in
real estate, Emanuel found
himself to be a wealthy
man. Consequently, he de-
cided to build an impres-
sive new home.
The site he picked was
chosen to maximize its
visibility. It stood near the
high riverbank, so that the
house could be seen across
the Red Deer valley. It was
also located next to the old
Calgary-Edmonton Trail
(now part of 43 St.) so that
travelers would notice it as
they passed by. Initially, it
was estimated the house
would cost $8,000. However,
by the time it was fi nished
in the fall of 1912, the price
had risen to $10,000. To put
that number into perspec-
tive, at the time, two dollars
per day was considered a
good wage.
After the First World War,
the Cronquists became
more active in community
affairs. They became active
with the United Farmers
of Alberta, the Elks Lodge
and the Freemasons.
In September 1924,
Emanuel passed away at
the age of 70. Three weeks
later, his son Holger died
of typhoid fever. Another
son David passed away in
1941 at the age of 45. Hilda
passed away in 1942 at near-
ly 90 years of age. Hannah,
the only daughter in the
family, passed away in 1969.
When Elias, the last sur-
viving member of the origi-
nal family, passed away in
June 1974, the grand house
stood vacant for some time.
The house was eventual-
ly acquired by the Red Deer
International Folk Festival
Society (now the Red Deer
Cultural Heritage Society).
In March 1976, the house
was moved across the river
to Bower Ponds. Over the
years, the Society worked
to restore the house to its
original glory. On Aug. 16,
1982, the Cronquist House
was designated as the fi rst
Municipal Historic Re-
source in the Province of
Alberta.
On Aug. 26 from 1 to 4

the centennial of the Cron-
quist House. Phone 403-346-

BY MARK WEBERRed Deer Express
Drawing on elements from
‘rockabilly, outlaw country and
steampunk swing’, Punch Drunk
Cabaret is gearing up for a per-
formance at the upcoming Al-
berta’s Own Indie Music Festival.
The event runs Aug. 24-26 at La-
combe’s Michener Park.
Randy Bailer, who used to front
another group called Screwtape
Lewis, is thrilled with the unique
nature of the relatively new
group and its superb reception.
Having released their self-titled
debut disc early this year, Punch
Drunk Cabaret is being featured
weekly on CKUA’s Untapped se-
ries, and has also been selected to
perform at Alberta Touring Alli-
ance’s Showcase this October.
“I feel that any act has an ex-
piry date,” he said of the ground-
breaking Screwtape Lewis, which
had been on the scene for 10 years.
It had been a richly creative time
for Bailer and the guys, but it was
time to move on to other things.
After that band called it a day,
Bailer found himself writing
tunes not on behalf of a group,
but primarily for himself. It was
an exhilarating place, and some-
thing he hadn’t experienced for
some time. “Suddenly I wasn’t
writing for a project, and I was
having a great time exploring
music and styles that I hadn’t
tried before.” He tapped into mu-
sic he had fi rst heard as a kid, and
all kinds of inspiration surfaced.
“Those early infl uences were
much more deeply ingrained in
me than I had thought.
“I wondered what it would
sound like if I wrote a rockabilly
song, or something kind of coun-
try -- something really outside of
what I had done.”
Writing in these other styles
has also been the most natural
creative fi t for Bailer so far, he
pointed out. “I do think that it’s
because of how much of those
infl uences I soaked up when I
was really young. For years, I ran
away from those infl uences be-
cause that was the music of my
parents. Screwtape Lewis was so
1980s inspired, because the 80s
was our music as teens. I hung
onto that for a really long time.
“But you get to an age where
you come full circle, and realize
it’s not a bad thing to listen to
your parents’ record collection.
So you are re-introduced to this
music and see it from a complete-
ly different perspective.”
The strength of the tunes he
was coming up with led to the
production of a new disc. “The
fi rst few gigs we played, it went
so well. And we realized we had
stumbled upon a mix of styles
people really connected to. So
here we are, two years later, go-
ing harder than ever. It’s really
taken off.”
Punch Drunk Cabaret’s debut
was produced by engineer Ross
Nykiforuk. “Ross is a great musi-
cian in his own right. If we lived
closer, we would just insist he be
in the band.”
Rounding out the group are
Reverend Robin Eklund on drums
and Terry Sawbones Grant on
12-string bass. The members are
all veterans whose resumes in-
clude supporting acts like Nick-
elback, the Tragically Hip, 54-40
and the Northern Pikes.
Meanwhile, there’s no place
Bailer would rather be than
taking the band’s music to the
masses. There are 10 cuts on their
fi rst CD, and he and the guys are
busy building up a repertoire
representing the terrifi c, bold
sound that defi nes Punch Drunk
Cabaret. “With this music and
this style, I feel like I’m a student
of it. To become a student again
and see things in a whole new
perspective, it’s as exciting as it
was when I was 15 learning to
play songs and write music for
the fi rst time. I can hardly think
of anything else in life that is like
that.”

The Bourne Legacy
works hard to capture the
feeling of the fi rst three
Bourne movies, using the
same music and some of
the supporting cast from
those fi lms in minor roles.
And it mostly succeeds. If
you liked the Bourne series
before, this is more of the
same.
It picks up from a se-
quence in the previous
Bourne Ultimatum and
intercuts it with scenes
of our new Bourne-like
character, well played by
Jeremy Renner (The Hurt
Locker). He’s on some kind
of survival training mis-
sion in Alaska and we soon
learn that he and Matt Da-
mon’s Bourne character
are only two of the highly
trained agents in a top se-
cret government program.
But Edward Norton plays
a cold-blooded government
bureaucrat given the job
of shutting down that pro-
gram immediately because
of fears it will become pub-
lic.
So all these highly
trained superagents, with
their performance now en-
hanced by drugs, need to
be killed. However, Renner
narrowly escapes his
planned death, quickly fi g-
ures out what’s happening
and fakes his death.
But he still needs his
meds, so he goes after one
of the doctors who treated
him in the program, played
by Rachel Weisz. With
Renner’s help, she too nar-
rowly escapes death as part
of the program’s shutdown
and they work together to
escape the clutches of their
nasty government over-
seers.
Once you get past the un-
believability of it all, this
is a thrilling movie with
lots of action and unlikely
stunts. And judging by the
ending, Bourne 5 is already
in the planning stages.

Local audiences can expect love, magic,
music and adventure during Red Deer Col-
lege’s 2012/13 performing arts season.
Prepare to be swept away in the high-
fl ying adventure of Peter Pan and fall in
love again with Shakespeare’s magical A
Midsummer Night’s Dream. There will
be spine-tingling drama too, with perfor-
mances of an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s
Dracula slated for next February.
Highlights of the music program con-
cert series feature a piano recital by Rus-
ton Vuori and Dr. Dale Wheeler, intimate
jazz concerts, cabarets and an eclectic se-
ries from RDC’s popular ensembles: the
Chamber Choir, Symphonic Winds, Per-
cussion Ensemble and Big Band.
Kicking things off will be, as mentioned,
A Midsummer Night’s Dream -- a comedy
by William Shakespeare. The production
runs Oct. 11-20 in Studio A.
Escape to the magical forest just outside
of Athens and experience Shakespeare’s
most popular comedy. Audiences will de-
light in this fantastical journey where hu-
mans and fairies entangle themselves in
twisted and outrageous webs of love and
deceit.
Next up, the classic story of Peter Pan
by J.M. Barrie runs Nov. 22 to Dec. 1 on
the mainstage. The high-fl ying epic tale of
the boy who never grew up features Peter,
Wendy, Captain Hook and the Lost Boys in
an action-packed adventure.
Early into the New Year, things take a
decidedly spookier turn with Bram Stok-
er’s legendary tale of Dracula, adapted by
Steven Dietz. Performances run Feb. 7-16
on the mainstage. Dietz’s adaptation of
this intense gothic fantasy is full of seduc-
tion, suspense and, of course, blood.
Rounding out the theatre season is Sum-
mertime by Charles Mee which runs April
17-21 in Studio A. Love is everywhere in
this romantic, surreal comedy as a quirky
cast of characters express their intimate
pasts, current love affairs, and future de-
sires with honesty and vigor. The play does
contain mature subject matter and coarse
language.
Musically speaking, things begin this
fall with Alberta Arts Days set for Sept.
28-30 on the mainstage. The Symphonic
Winds perform on the mainstage on Nov. 1
in a show entitled Back to the Baton which
includes retired guest conductors.
Another popular tradition is the Rota-
ry Senior’s Concert, set for Nov. 6 on the
mainstage as well. This show is free to se-
niors, and includes a reception and trans-
portation to and from the performance.
Jazz night, featuring the RDC Big Band
and an array of student and faculty com-
binations, runs Dec. 4-5 in Studio A at 7:30
p.m. followed by the traditional holiday fa-
vourite Sounds Of The Season on Dec. 7.
This year’s version of Sounds of The Sea-
son features the Chamber Choir and the
Symphonic Winds.
The New Year kicks off with the Faculty
Jazz Cabaret on Jan. 12 in Studio A and the
Ruston Vuori Piano Recital on Jan. 27 also
in Studio A. Offering audiences an eclectic
recital featuring piano, voice and winds in-
cluding Schumann’s Frauenliebe, the Dale
Wheeler Piano Recital is set for Feb. 24 on
the mainstage. The Symphonic Winds per-
form on March 7 and the Percussion En-
semble takes the stage March 8.
The month continues with Jazz Night on
March 15 on the mainstage, where the RDC
Big Band and guest artists will wow audi-
ences with music of the ‘royal’ families of
jazz.
That’s Entertainment showcases the
best performances of the year by RDC mu-
sic students, and this year there are two
shows: an evening show on March 23 and
a matinee on March 24 – both on the main-
stage.
A Touch Of Class, featuring the Cham-
ber Choir and the Symphonic Winds,
wraps things up on April 4.
Details for all performances are avail-
able at www.rdc.ab.ca/showtime.

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

Everyone has had back
pain at least once in their
life and we all know that it
is not a fun thing to experi-
ence. Do you fi nd yourself
wondering when and why
this aching pain started
and how you can get it to
stop?
Our back pain can start
from a wide variety of
culprits: excessive sitting,
lack of core strength, tight
muscles, infl amed muscles,
spinal injuries and poor
posture (most common).
While some of the causes
are serious and require
medical care, most back
pain can be relieved with
simple lifestyle changes
and a few exercises.
Here are some easy,
quick ways to help you re-
duce, ease and eliminate
back pain.
Hydration - you may not
think that just water alone
can help you with your
back pain, but it works and
works well. The majority of
the population is dehydrat-
ed and doesn’t get enough
water throughout the day.
Water helps with so many
bodily functions and is the
fi rst step to being pain-free.
Getting enough water
will help reduce blood pres-
sure, reduce infl ammation
in our muscles and help
you get rid of toxins that
are building up around
your tight, sore muscles.
Try and shoot for three
litres of water a day and it
will help reduce back pain.
Lose weight - now, this
may sound silly and a no
brainer but it’s true and the
fact is that losing weight
doesn’t get the attention it
deserves when it comes to
reducing back pain. Imag-
ine how bad your back
would feel if I gave you a
50 lb backpack full of rocks
and told you to go climb a
mountain? Not good, huh?
Our spine takes quite a
beating everyday if you are
overweight, especially if
you carry a lot of abdomi-
nal weight. This makes the
spine arch more than it
should and shifts your bal-
ance forward, tiring your
lower back and tightening
your muscles.
The thing about losing
weight is that a lot of peo-
ple are in the ‘all or noth-
ing’ mentality. Either they
want to lose 50 lbs or else
they don’t want to waste
their time with the little
stuff. That is where we can
go really wrong we need to
start small. You can take a
lot of stress of your spine
even with fi ve or 10 lbs off.
Posture at work -more
and more of us are enter-
ing into a sedentary style
at work. We are needed
in chairs behind desks in
front of a computer.
The battle of correcting
your posture at work is to
be aware of a bad posture
and bad spinal position. It
is easy to hunch your shoul-
ders and round your back,
but we have to change our
ways if we want our body to
change and feel better.
Always try and keep both
feet on the fl oor with your
chest up and your shoul-
ders down as much as pos-
sible. Start by bring the
keyboard closer to you and
by upgrading your chair to
a more ergonomic version
-- even better than that is to
sit on an exercise ball while
at the desk if you can.
Stretch - when our mus-
cles get tight, they become
infl amed and together that
can wreak havoc on the
lower back and your spine.
A tight muscle will also be-
gin to pull the spine out of
place and cause big time
damage and soreness.
A stretched and overall
loose muscle will be less
infl amed, much more com-
fortable and will hold fewer
toxins. It’s a win-win situa-
tion.

My patients always give
me the wrong answer when
I ask them, “What cancer
kills women more than any
other malignancy?” Most
say “Breast cancer.”
But lung cancer kills
more women than breast
and colon/rectal cancer
combined. But there’s hope
for both sexes.
Unfortunately, there’s an
interesting, recurrent, yet
depressing reaction par-
ticularly for non-smokers
who develop lung cancer.
When told that someone
has breast cancer there’s
always a sympathetic ear.
But when informed a
person has lung cancer,
sure as night follows day,
the fi rst, quick response is
“Was he or she a smoker?”
It’s a remark that puts
an unfair stigma on non-
smokers.
This year another 110,000
men and 90,000 North
American women will die
of this disease. Of this
number 10% of men and
20% of women have never
smoked.
One would think if smok-
ers looked at the carnage,
they would do everything
in their power to stop.
Breast cancer patients
have an 85% chance of
being alive in fi ve years.
Those treated for lung can-
cer have an 85% chance of
being dead. And 10 years
after breast cancer treat-
ment, patients are four
times more likely to have
survived.
Why non-smokers devel-
op this malignancy is not
known. A Swedish study
found an increase in lung
cancer in those exposed
to residential radon gas,
a breakdown product of
uranium. Other research-
ers link lung cancer to
scarring that occurs with
recurrent bouts of pneu-
monia, tuberculosis and
other illnesses. Still more
associate this malignancy
with atmospheric exposure
to a variety of products.
What about genetics?
Iceland’s remote location
has resulted in a national
genealogy database unique
to that country. This has al-
lowed researchers to trace
connections between fami-
lies since the settlement of
the country, particularly
in a study of 2,756 patients
diagnosed with lung cancer
between the years 1955 to
2002. The study concluded
that lung cancer appears to
run in certain families.
But the study stressed
although genetics appears
to play a role in developing
lung cancer, tobacco smoke
plays the dominant role.
In spite of high-tech CT
scans and MRIs, smokers
will continue to die unless
they toss away tobacco, a
foolish, irrational habit.
If the smoker accom-
plishes this task then the
news is all good. Within
minutes of a fi nal cigarette,
the body begins a series
of recuperative changes.
For instance, 20 minutes
after the fi nal puff, blood
pressure falls, heart rate
decreases and body tem-
perature of hands and feet
increases to normal.
Look ahead another
eight hours and the blood
level of carbon monoxide
drops to normal and oxy-
gen level becomes normal.
After 24 hours the risk of
coronary attack decreases.
During the next three
months circulation im-
proves, and as lung func-
tion increases up to 30%,
walking becomes easier.
Former smokers also no-
tice that within one to nine
months there’s less cough-
ing, sinus congestion, fa-
tigue, shortness of breath
and more energy.
One year later the risk
of coronary attack has de-
creased by 50%. And in 10
years the chance of devel-
oping lung cancer is simi-
lar to that of a non-smoker.

CRAWLY CREATURES – Fuzzy caterpillars take over a tree in a Red Deer yard. Tanis Reid/Red Deer Express
Heritage Ranch recently
launched ‘Your Team Un-
leashed’, an innovative
team building company. It
incorporates hands on work
with horses and round pen
demonstrations to grow
communication, trust and
leadership within a team.
“Horses have basically
one way to communicate
-- body language. Work-
ing with horses forces us
to consider the impact our
body language has on those
around us. That’s why
teambuilding with the use
of horses is so incredibly ef-
fective,” said Joel Martens,
owner of Your Team Un-
leashed. “Each individual
that comes through our pro-
gram is required to look at
the true message he is deliv-
ering to those around him.”
Martens, who has trained
over 800 horses, now ap-
plies his insights to busi-
ness and in helping others
to fi nd success in manage-
ment and team leadership.
He fi nds there is a correla-
tion between horses and
business – leadership, con-
fi dence, integrity and team-
work are key components
of both. The examples from
the herd are plentiful.
“In the world of horses
confi dence is currency.
Confi dence is respected.
The quiet confi dent stallion
moves, guides and instills a
sense of peace in the herd.”
Unleashed takes place in
the outdoors utilizing Heri-
tage Ranch’s 217 acres.
While the program is ex-
perience based with hands-
on exercises, all the work
is done on the ground and
clients do not need to have
any previous horse experi-
ence. Skilled facilitators
guide the exercises ensur-
ing the comfort and safety
of all involved.
Available as a half day
introductory package or as
a one or two-day intensive,
the Unleashed program fea-
tures 10 sessions to choose
from including topics like
conducting accurate as-
sessments, leading with
trust, how confi dence mat-
ters and teamwork - exam-
ples from the herd. There is
also the opportunity to set
up multiple sessions over
the course of a year to take
a cumulative approach to
all the workshops.
On-site facilitator Nata-
sha Cole has worked with
a diversity of clients in this
program, and she said she
has found “People often have
a very literal ‘aha moment’.
They arrive a certain way
and leave with a completely
different perspective.”

SPORTS
BY TANIS REIDRed Deer Express
It is roller derby season,
and local women and men
are strapping on their old
school roller skates and
(literally) hitting the track.
According to Karin Gil-
christ, also known as Mu-
lan Bruise, a member of
the Red Deer Roller Derby
Association (RDRDA), roll-
er derby has been spring-
ing up in towns all over
Alberta.
“It just takes a few girls
who are really interested
and want to skate to get to-
gether and start a league.”
On Aug. 25, Westerner
Park will host the Summer
Grudgen III: Clash of the
Titans bout. This is going to
be the fi rst sanctioned bout
in Canada where it is men
vs. women.
“We are a really close
league and we just thought
it would be a really great
experience to play each
other.”
The RDRDA formed in
late 2008 when the fi rst
group of girls laced up their
skates and hit the fl oor at
the Collicutt Centre. The
original league was made
of one team - the Belladon-
nas. One year later two
house teams were formed,
the Heavy Duty Chicanicks
and the Death Roll Derby
Dolls.
In 2010 a men’s team hit
the track with the creation
of the Dreadnaughts.
Roller derby is an Ameri-
can invented contact sport
that was created by Leo
Seltzer in the 1930s. He was
looking for a way to capi-
talize on the past time of
roller speed skating so he
held a roller skating endur-
ance race, similar to bicy-
cle races that had become
popular during the Great
Depression. As the races
Seltzer put together gained
popularity, teams replaced
the endurance and long-
distance skating, a point
system was introduced and
certain forms of physical
contact were allowed.
According to The Roller
Derby Resource web site,
the 1970s were recognizing
the sport for its entertain-
ment qualities. Bouts were
often playing to sold-out
stadiums and were broad-
cast on television.
Modern day roller derby
has moved away from the
‘scripted bouts’ of the 1970s
and is now a full contact
sport that focuses on ath-
leticism and agility.
Meanwhile, the local
league has continued to
grow and is currently com-
prised of four divisions.
The Competitive Division
is made up of the Bella-
donnas, the Nightshades
and the Dreadnaughts. The
Freshmeat Division is a
gateway to roller derby.
The newly-formed Recre-
ational Division offers less
competitive matches and
casual skate opportuni-
ties. And fi nally, the Junior
Division will be launched
later this year.
An average team will
have 14 skaters on their
roster. The Belladonnas
currently have 11 members
on their team so they are
recruiting.
Bruise, who is also a
player for the Belladonnas,
has been skating for almost
one year and has come to
appreciate the sport. “It is
an aggressive sport, which
I really, really like and it is
challenging and you get a
lot of exercise. It is some-
thing I have just fallen in
love with,” she said.
In this weekend’s bout,
the Belladonnas face off
against the Dreadnaughts
at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 in
advance and $15 at the door.

SPORTS
If you asked me six
months ago what I would
be doing on my summer
holidays, I would have
replied with camping,
working at Balmoral Golf
Course, helping my grand-
parents on their acreage,
riding my bike, rollerblad-
ing, Taekwondo.
Instead I went to Korea.
This summer wasn’t any
normal summer I have
ever experienced. Over two
weeks I met 40 friends from
all over the world, places I
never even knew existed.
I also learned how to
speak and write Korean, do
yoga poses, K-Pop dance,
Taekwondo aerobics, tap-
ing and last but not least,
sparring.
This experience makes
me think of the world as a
whole new place with no
limitations; each one has
taught me so many new
things about their own
country. These people I
have met will always be a
part of my life, and I know
together we can support
each other with each of our
own Taekwondo goals.
In my mind, yoga classes
had nothing to do with Tae-
kwondo, but it surprised
me how important yoga is
for a Taekwondo athlete.
Being able to stay fl exible
for an athlete is one of the
most important compo-
nents especially for high
kicks.
Some yoga poses are
more diffi cult than others,
and some are very simple,
but each one has a huge
importance whether it is
for your back, legs, arms,
neck etc.
I am still practicing yoga
every morning to relax my-
self, and to keep myself as
fl exible as I can.
For those of you who
don’t know what K-Pop is,
it is a music genre consist-
ing of dance, electronic,
hip-hop from South Korea.
This music is very upbeat
and has catchy lyrics; most
of the choruses are in Eng-
lish.
This dance class we had
was a great amount of fun,
it helped everyone to loos-
en up and get to know the
whole team.
Not only was it fun and a
great way to get to know, the
other teammates but it was
a good cool down workout.
Taekwondo aerobics is
almost like a dance, it uses
motions that we use in
Taekwondo put to a K-Pop
song. We use movements
such as kicking, sparring
jumping and hand ges-
tures. This is a great way to
workout, or warm up and
have fun!
Last but not least, spar-
ring. Sparring classes
were the main reason why
I came to Korea. Sparring
has been my passion since
I was eight-years-old, I am
16 now and I love it more
than ever. I learned many
new techniques, and I was
inspired to be faster and
more aggressive when I
kick. Everyone who par-
ticipated in sparring got a
partner from the Kyung-
Hee University team.
Our partners were all so
different, and so were we,
but we all shared the love of
sparring which all brought
us together into our own
little family. I can’t wait
to share all I have learned
with everyone else in Mas-
ter Rim’s Taekwondo, I
know it will make each of
us better and bring out the
best in each of our sparring
abilities.
I look at my life different-
ly now; I am a strong young
woman and the only limita-
tions I have are the ones I
have created for myself.
I have found a new confi -
dence in myself, and a new
love to learn about other
things and places around
the world.
One day I hope I can re-
turn to Korea and keep
expanding my knowledge
of new places, new friends
and ultimately Taekwondo.
Emily Beauchamp is a stu-dent at Master Rim’s Tae-kwondo. She, along with three others from Red Deer traveled to Korea to participate in a Taekwondo training camp from July 15-30th.

What a wonderful summer it
has been! The weather has been
amazing and we have seen many
days above 25 degrees which is
unusual for Central Alberta.
I hope you have been able to get
out and enjoy time with your fam-
ily and friends – I know I’ve spent
more time camping this year than
most of my adult life combined.
RV’s are a marvel of effi cient
usage of space, every square inch
is effi ciently used to maximize
limited square footage.
If you are living in a small
apartment or home, take inspira-
tion from the RV for clever stor-
age and even furniture ideas. Our
RV has a fl ip-up mattress with
storage underneath for blankets
and pillows and I recently saw
a bed that had this same feature
on a design site – I thought it was
awesome!
It would be great in a small
spare room where you don’t need
a box spring.
In a bed you sleep in everyday
good support using a box spring
is a must but in a spare room
which is used infrequently, you
would be able to use a quality
mattress if the frame provided
you with better storage.
Many functions in an RV are
double duty, the table makes into
a bed and TVs can fl ip around to
be viewed from bedroom or liv-
ing space. Is there a place in your
home where you can double up?
Can you give anything in your
home a double function? If you
have a seating area or bench, can
it be also used as storage or can
you use things such as ottomans
or side tables as extra storage.
Do you have a place where you
can hide a small fridge for bev-
erages or coffee in a bedroom
or guest suite? Imagine if your
guests had their own coffee in
their rooms (single brew Kuerigs
are brilliant), how relaxed and
at home they would feel in the
mornings – and how less clut-
tered the kitchen would be!
The next time you are looking
at RVs, take a look at the colour
schemes. Observe how the cabi-
nets/floors/furniture/counter-
tops/curtains are all dark but
all those colours don’t make the
space look small.
Trailer manufacturers utilize a
design technique where the con-
trast between items is kept low.
Even if the colours are dark the
eye drifts from one item to an-
other without the need to stop at
a bright colour or light spot. It is a
clever way to make a small space
seem larger, it works in homes as
well – just with better upholstery
choices.
If you are placing a large bed in
a small room, try to match the bed
covers and linens to the walls, the
colour blend will minimize the
edge lines around the bed.
Just like an RV, a home with
a small space can look cluttered
and messy in a very short time.
If you live in a small space, the
inspiration of storage can be imi-
tated in your home.
Take a weekend and go look at
new trailers, even if you aren’t in
the market for one. It is a fun ex-
ercise to see how they have made
small spaces mighty big on stor-
age and may just give you a few
new ideas when it comes to using
your small space more effi ciently.

Beauty, spaciousness,
interior design – and every
other eye-pleasing esthet-
ic – are important when
building a personal dream
home.
Today, however, with the
reality of energy and envi-
ronmental concerns, ho-
meowners also insist that
the place where they will
be living for years on end
must be as eco-responsible
as possible.
As it turns out, many
decisions that are initially
based on responsibility can
deliver unexpected esthetic
results too.
“Sometimes the least
glamorous decisions can be
the ones that give your life-
style far more quality and
value—and a good case in
point is the use of concrete
to build the walls, instead
of traditional wood-fram-
ing,” says Todd Blyth at
Nudura, a leading name in
this fi eld.
“Our Canadian technol-
ogy has advanced the de-
velopment of the ‘insulated
concrete form’, a system
that that interlocks to erect
a building, like Lego.
For the occupants, the
benefi ts of improved com-
fort, energy effi ciency, safe-
ty, and interior air quality
are delivered immediately
with ICF construction—
and for the homeowner-
investor, all those benefi ts
assure top resale value
later on.”
In addition, Blyth points
out, an ICF structure can
be fi nished on the exterior
just like traditional wood
frame structures.
Stone, stucco, brick or
whatever is envisioned, can
be done with the insulated
concrete forms.
Building the walls with
concrete is also an option
that needs to be decided
early in the planning, he
says. The method discards
wood framing in favour of
pre-assembled, interlock-
ing concrete forms fi lled
with concrete. Take a look
at a few more of the head-
turning benefi ts of con-
crete:
Fuel Savings - premium
insulation is essential with
energy costs on the rise.
Solid concrete walls vast-
ly reduce air infi ltration
(compared to wood walls)
optimizing energy perfor-
mance and reducing car-
bon footprints.
The R-value (insulation
effectiveness) comes in at
R-50 and can save you to
70% on energy bills.
Comfort - outside cold
easily travels through
wood-framed walls causing
thermal bridging and cre-
ating uncomfortable chilly
spots inside your home.
But walls with a solid con-
crete core address and
prevent thermal bridging,
thereby delivering even
temperatures throughout
the house.
Quiet - solid concrete is
an effective sound barrier.
It dampens sound vibra-
tions from outside noise,
such as traffi c, trains, and
neighbourhood parties.
Sound-proofi ng is an addi-
tion to home comfort.
Safety - the fi re protec-
tion rating is up to four
hours.
If high wind in your com-
munity is a concern, data
shows that Nudura homes
demonstrate impact resis-
tance up to 402 km/h.
Improved value - it is
generally expected that
a stronger, safer, greener
home, and one that is more
durable, more cost effi -
cient, and needs less main-
tenance and repair, will
build and hold its value.

HOMES & LIVING
The mortgage brokerage
industry often times takes
a lot of heat from the banks,
mostly the employees that
work at the branch level -
as usually their employer
works with mortgage bro-
kers either directly or in-
directly on an investment
level. So it’s nice to hear of
an author outside of our
industry trumpeting our
benefi ts.
Bruce Sellery, author of
Moolala, says that going
back to your bank primar-
ily because you’ve been a
customer there “forever”
is “zombie behaviour.”
He made these comments
while appearing on the
Lang & O’Leary Exchange
on the 13th of August.
He added, “A lot of peo-
ple would say its loyalty. I
would say it’s lazy.”
Sellery speaks of get-
ting the most bang for your
buck, and see what other
opportunities are out there
for you regarding lenders
and rates - it could poten-
tially cost you thousands
of dollars for misguided
loyalty.
Following are some ex-
cerpts from the show:
“You can be loyal to a res-
taurant you love because
they treat you right, but
don’t be loyal to your bank
because you like the person
there...it can make a pro-
found difference in the rate
you pay.”
“Mortgage brokers work
for you, versus the bank
mortgage specialist who
works for the bank and of-
fers the products of the
bank. Don’t let loyalty
trump the interest rate.”
“Banks can be competi-
tive. They have deep pock-
ets. But they are competi-
tive when they have to be
competitive.”
You can sometimes bene-
fi t from keeping all of your
business with a bank but
you will have to “fi ght for”
that benefi t, says Sellery.
To be fully objective, he did
bring up some questions
about the mortgage broker-
age model as well.
Understand how brokers
make money, he advises.
Most brokers make a one-
time commission based on
the value of the mortgage.
They can also receive vol-
ume bonuses, trailer fees,
and incentives. “The vol-
ume bonuses are…the area
where I have the biggest
question,” Sellery says.
He cites a potential “loss
of objectivity” resulting
from some brokers think-
ing: “If I hit my volume, I
get X.”
All this being said, our
job is to look out for your
best interest (pun intend-
ed), both on the rate side
and also on the service side.
Do the lender’s guidelines
match your needs?
Is the rate competitive
with everyone else’s? What
other terms and conditions
are included? To be fully
objective a good mortgage
agent will search out all the
criteria in the market place
and give you the best op-
tions out there.
All the bank branches
can do is provide you with
only one option, and that’s
their own.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m
not here to bash the banks,
I’m here just to provide the
alternative voice to what
I hear from some of my
clients for what they hear
from the branch. No doubt
the mortgage industry has
some problems, but they
usually stem from the nov-
ice mortgage agents that
have come from the outside
without any prior training
other than the course that
the Real Estate Council of
Alberta provides.
Like I said in the past, if
you are going to hire a pro-
fessional, make sure you
get a good one. We aren’t
that hard to fi nd.
