Lacombians big and small
are coming together to sup-
port three families after
their homes were destroyed by
fi re.
After the large fi re in Henner’s
Pointe on July 29th that left three
families without their homes, a
number of community initiatives
have been started to benefi t them.
All of them are seeing tremen-
dous support.
When Sue Sage, offi ce manager
of Lacombe Storage, heard si-
rens near her home that Tuesday
morning, she knew whatever was
happening was close by.
It didn’t take her long to learn
of the fi re in Henner’s Pointe. As
soon as she did, Sage texted her
boss, asking if it would be alright
to donate a vacant mobile storage
unit to take donations for those
affected by the fi re.
Sage said her immediate deci-
sion to aid those victims prob-
ably stemmed from knowing she
would want help if the positions
were reversed.
She added that she decided to
donate a space for other dona-
tions because it was the only way
she knew how to help.
“I guess I was thinking of our-
selves,” said Sage. “What if that
were my kids?”
Between 10 and 11 a.m. La-
combe Storage took to facebook
to notify people that they would
be accepting donations.
Sage said it took no time at all
for the community to heed the
call. “It was instant,” said Sage.
“Before we could even back this
portable unit into its spot, I had
an offi ce full of bags.”
Days after the fi re, donations
were still coming in a steady
stream. “It was just insane the
amount that showed up,” said
Sage. “That same night, every
time we tried to lock up and leave
after hours, somebody was honk-
ing at the gate trying to get in to
drop off donations so we were
here until 8 o’clock that fi rst
night.”
Sage said that Lacombe Stor-
age has had some incredibly
helpful volunteers come to assist
them in sorting through all the
donations as well.
She added that she is grateful
to her boss for being so under-
standing and supportive of this
initiative as it has taken Sage
away from her regular duties.
“God bless my boss because I
have hardly done any work in the
last two days,” said Sage.
Lacombe Storage has received
support from other businesses as
well. When some people wishing
to drop off donations were hav-
ing trouble fi nding the location,
Strand Media donated a printed
sign to help identify the business.
Lacombe Storage has also
started up a trust fund with Ser-
vus Credit Union as well. If any-
one is looking to donate, the name
on the fund is Lacombe Storage
Fire Victims.
They aren’t the only business-
es to help out either.
On Aug. 1st, Lacombe Sobeys
began accepting monetary dona-
tions for the families affected in
the blaze. Lynda Bouchard, co-
owner of the Lacombe Sobeys,
said that the store commonly
participates in nation-wide fund-
raising campaigns that support
local foodbanks and always see
tremendous support.
In fact, a day before accepting
donations for the Henner’s Pointe
fi re victims, Sobeys had wrapped
up its Christmas In July Cam-
paign where they raised nearly
$13,000. Bouchard said she had
similar thoughts to Sage regard-
ing the fi re and why she should
help.
“This is one of those things
that just kind of hit home,” said
Bouchard. “It could have been
any one of us.”
When trying to decide what
to do to help, Bouchard remem-
bered how successful the food
and other charity campaigns run
by the store were and decided to
do something similar, knowing it
would be supported by the com-
munity.
“We know that this community
steps up,” said Bouchard.
“Even fi ve dollars each from
half of our customers in a day is
going to make a signifi cant im-
pact.”
Younger members of the com-
munity have stepped up as well.
Seven-year-old Melaya Armson
and fi ve-year-old brother Rylan
were quite shaken up and scared
by the incident.
Their mother, Nicole, talked
things over with her children and
they decided to help in order to
have something good come out of
the tragedy.
They came up with the idea of
having a lemonade stand with the
proceeds going to one of the fami-
lies displaced by the fi re.
They got some help from neigh-
bour Morgan Provost, 9, and to-
gether they raised nearly $400 in
just a few hours of selling lemon-
ade and cookies on their fi rst day.
“Everybody has been extreme-
ly generous,” said Nicole.
Sage said the community’s re-
action to this tragic event tells
her that she and her husband
picked the right place to start a
family.
She added she appreciates the
strong community feeling La-
combe has.
“It just shows that we can have
City status but we still have a
small town heart and sense of
community,” said Sage. Boucha-
rd agreed.
“It just says we live in the best
community in Canada.”
Lacombe community pulls together to support fi re victims
LITTLE LEMONADE HELPERS - Morgan Provost, 9, Melaya Armson, 7 and Rylan Armson, 5, sell lemonade to raise funds for one of the Lacombe families who lost their home in the Henner’s Pointe fi re on July 29th. During their fi rst day they raised nearly $400. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

I’ve always wanted to live
in Scotland.
Although my family has
lived in North America for
over 250 years, I am well
aware Scotland is where
we came from. And if you
think that’s a lousy reason
to go back - you’re probably
right. In reality, I’m not
sure Scotland and I would
become best friends.
Its cold, wet weather
would test my patience to
the extreme. For another,
there is barely a Scot alive
who knows how to bake
pumpkin pie.
I should stick to the part
of the world I know. Yet,
this doesn’t change my ex-
perience. Whether it’s sen-
timentality or something
more, there is a very real
part of me that wants to go
‘home.’ The Christian faith
has long observed a similar
experience in the heart.
The French philosopher,
Blaise Pascal, for example,
said that, “There is a God-
shaped vacuum in the
heart of every man.”
The author of the Bib-
lical book, Ecclesiastes,
wrote that God has, “Set
eternity in the human
heart.” Both expressed that
humans instinctively know
something is not quite right
in this world, and that we
will not be satisfi ed until
it is. In their opinions, we
were born homesick.
But, assuming they were
right, what would home
look like, once found?
Christians commonly
describe it as a heavenly
city that cannot be fully de-
fi ned. But, there is an enor-
mous part of our society
with little interest in any
such hope. They believe
themselves to desire that
which is inherently known
by all to be good: fair gov-
ernment, fair economy, fair
opportunity—in this life!
Can this be compatible
with the Christian expecta-
tion of home? I believe so.
One of the fascinating
events in Canadian history
is the emergence of the
‘Quebecois.’ The term was
popularized when the secu-
lar government of Quebec
appropriated much of the
Roman Catholic church’s
role in the public life of
that province. This is to
say that, up until the 1960s,
most of Quebec’s social
services had been adminis-
tered by the church.
Education, health care,
social assistance all fell un-
der the church’s purview.
But, as Quebec rapidly sec-
ularized, it was determined
the government, not the
church, ought to oversee
such things from then on.
My interest in this sub-
ject has little to do with
whether these events were
good or bad. What does in-
terest me is why the church
was doing what it was doing
in the fi rst place. Why were
these people so involved in
shaping the social fabric?
The answer is many
of them were longing for
home. Ingrained within us
are convictions regarding
how the world ought to be.
When we fi nd our convic-
tions in confl ict with reali-
ty, we are hurt, and the best
of us work hard to remedy
what we can.
For all the faults of the
church, this is the fervent
motivation behind count-
less gracious servants
within Quebec’s Catholic
congregations - and the
church-at-large - who have
laboured to improve public
life. On the other hand, it
is the same motivation for
endless folks who do not
profess the Christian God.
Let me put it this way, to
avoid being misunderstood:
my Christian hope is I will
experience ‘home’ in the
fullest sense of the word.
I work to establish home
in the here and now; in
tangibles that bring posi-
tive change to the everyday
lives of myself and those
around me. I cannot wait
until Christ comes to com-
plete this work, as I believe
only he can. And so, Chris-
tian or not, I ask you, is
it home that you’ve been
longing for, as well? And, if
it is, how are you planning
to fi nd it?
Jamie Veitch is the Pastor of Small Groups and Leader-ship Development at Lacombe Pentecostal.
What does the search for home really mean?

A golf tournament will take
place this month in honour of a
special young boy.
The Lukey’s Light Charity Golf
Classic is set for Aug. 23rd at the
Lacombe Golf and Country Club.
It will be a fun-fi lled day with 18
holes of golf including a number
of prizes, hole activities, draws,
raffl es and silent auction items.
The tournament will be in
memory of a Lacombe boy who
passed away earlier this year.
Lukas Stephen Matthew Oszust
was born Aug. 15, 2011 with a se-
vere, undiagnosed heart defect.
Five days later he became le-
thargic and was off-colour at
home. After rushing into the Red
Deer Hospital, Lukas was trans-
ported via STARS to the Stollery
Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.
Days later when Lukas stabilized
the family learned of a rare con-
dition that Lukas was diagnosed
with called hypoplatic left heart
syndrome. Lukas’ heart was not
formed properly. He basically had
only half of a functioning heart
and the left side was completely
underdeveloped.
Matt and Kathy, Lukas’ par-
ents, also learned Lukas would
require three open-heart surger-
ies that would take place over the
course of a three-year period.
On Aug. 29, 2011, Lukas went
into the operating room for his
fi rst procedure. After the surgery
took much longer than Matt and
Kathy had anticipated, the sur-
geon spoke with them and said
they had trouble getting Lukas’
heart to start up again and he
would be hooked up to a machine
called ECMO which pumped his
heart and provided oxygenated
the blood through his body.
The surgeon said if Lukas’
heart didn’t begin beating on its
own within 10 days, then it prob-
ably wouldn’t happen.
The family began watching
the monitor for any signs and on
Sept. 3rd, 2011 his heart began to
beat by itself without any help.
Due to being on the ECMO and
the needed blood thinners to run
the machine without clotting, Lu-
kas developed some damage to
his brain. His kidneys were also
damaged, but still worked with a
bit of help from some medicine.
Lukas spent the next nine
months in the hospital recovering
and working towards the second
heart surgery.
On May 1st, 2012 Lukas had his
second surgery. Again, Lukas’
body did not react how the doc-
tors thought it would. There were
adjustments needed so they had
to go back and re-do the surgery
two days later. Things did not
work and the doctors could not
fi gure it out. Lukas was incubat-
ed and his head was swelling and
the blood in his head could not
drain as fast as it was collecting.
Doctors decided it was time to
go in and perform his third open-
heart surgery within days of
each other. After the surgery, the
Oszust family was still left with-
out answers. Lukas’ head was
still swollen and he still required
a breathing tube. His central IV
line had also now developed a
fungal infection which had start-
ed growing in his blood.
Miraculously two weeks later
the infection was gone.
On June 25th, 2012 the breath-
ing tube was removed and Lu-
kas was doing much better. His
kidneys did not recover from the
string of surgeries though and he
would rely on peritoneal dialysis
to fi lter his blood.
Lukas spent the next fi ve
months getting stronger.
On Dec. 1st, 2012 after spend-
ing 16 months in the hospital, he
made it home. Due to his require-
ments, the doctors wanted 24/7
care for him. They were able to
secure some government funding
and hired night care workers.
Lukas needed oximeters to
monitor his oxygen levels and a
blood pressure machine to check
his vitals daily. A special crib was
also needed for Lukas to main-
tain a proper incline to allow his
blood to drain normally. There
were also scales, IV poles, feeding
pumps and more. While some of
the equipment was covered un-
der assistance programs, not all
of it was. But the Oszusts made it
work and decided having Lukas
home with them and sister Lylah,
6, was the most important thing.
On Jan. 21st of this year, Lu-
kas was admitted to the Stollery
Children’s Hospital with an infec-
tion in his dialysis line. The next
day he underwent a procedure to
remove the infected line with the
hopes of putting a new one back
in a few days later. That didn’t
happen. Lukas passed away on
Jan. 24th with his family by his
side.
“Lukey was a light that shone
in our lives. He taught us a lot
about how to take a small thing
and how it can be made into a re-
ally awesome thing – something
as simple as a smile – and make
everyone’s lives so much better.
“To see the relationship between
him and his sister even though
there was never a word spoken,
yet, more love than I have ever
seen in my life between those
two, “ said Kathy. “People are ex-
cited for the golf tournament and
to see us not just laying around,
grieving him sadly, but doing
this to remember him by. Lukas
was a lot of fun and brought so
much joy into our lives. We want
to be able to show his joy through
something fun.
“His little short life has
changed our lives and so many
lives of others for the better and I
wouldn’t take any of that back for
anything. We get to bless other
people through our little blessing
too. We want people to know that
yes it’s been hard and it’s dark at
times, even now, but it can still be
made into something beautiful.”
Matt and Kathy wanted to hon-
our his memory and thought a
golf tournament would be a great
way to do so. Proceeds raised
will go towards helping families
with sick children attain medi-
cal equipment to maintain their
child’s health at home. As well,
the Oszusts’ hope is to include a
room sponsorship at the Ronald
McDonald House of Northern
Alberta. These funds would help
cover operating costs to run the
House, while at the same time re-
membering Lukas and the room
the family stayed in for so long
(Room 225). The funds would also
help provide ‘Home for Dinners’
at the House.
The hope is Lukey’s Light Golf
Classic will take place every year.
There is also talk about doing a
fundraising event in the winter.

terested in being a sponsor, visit

Summertime can be the time of
year when the best family memo-
ries are created.
From the traditional family road
trip across a province or a day trip
to a great outdoor pool, Albertans
have access to great amenities and
activities. Sadly, every summer
also creates some not so happy
memories.
It is unfortunately a time of year
when many towns and cities see
a spike in property crime. These
crimes, such as thefts from mo-
tor vehicles, vandalism and thefts
from sheds and garages can be
very upsetting.
You cannot help but feel violated
when your property has been tak-
en.
While insurance can cover the
cost of replacing items, insurance
cannot replace a tool that was spe-
cial because your grandfather had
given it to you or a set of golf clubs
that contained items your kids had
given you for Mother’s Day.
There is no one-step solution to
preventing crime. It is a complex
set of solutions that need to work
in coordination with each other.
We need to create environments
that discourage thefts.
Our local RCMP estimates that
as much as 95% of thefts from ve-
hicles are occurring from unlocked
vehicles.
The local detachment has tried
to raise awareness of this by leav-
ing yellow information cards in
unlocked cars throughout the com-
munity. By simply locking up and
making sure that valuables such
as purses, wallets and electronics
are not left in plain sight in the car,
we can reduce these crimes of op-
portunity. Taking time to meet our
neighbors is one of the best crime
prevention measures.
Getting to know who is a regular
part of our neighborhoods helps
us differentiate between regular
community activity and suspicious
activity. One of the challenges in
a fast-growing community like
Blackfalds is that there are always
new faces in the neighborhood.
We all need to build positive re-
lationships with neighbors. A few
months ago, I noticed my neighbor
had left their garage door open. A
quick knock on the door prevented
the home from becoming a target
and it also helped build trust be-
tween us.
Some of the crime seen this year
can unfortunately be attributed to
youth. It is extremely important
that we as parents continue to
provide structure and positive ac-
tivities for kids to channel their en-
ergy. Summer camps and part-time
jobs both help youth learn leader-
ship and responsibility.
The Town of Blackfalds is com-
mitted to supporting our local
youth by providing facilities such
as the Abbey Center that cater to
many age groups.
For those who have an interest
in policing, the Town of Blackfalds
has a Policing Committee that
makes recommendations to Town
council and to the RCMP as they
develop local service plans. It is im-
portant that residents provide in-
put and direction on how resources
are allocated. There are additional
community volunteer opportuni-
ties with our local Block Parents.
There are a number of online
resources people can turn to for
additional information on crime
prevention. The Central Alberta
Crime Prevention Center has a
web site with information as well
as a location in Red Deer to provide
support and guidance for people.
The Edmonton Police Service has
a wonderful selection of printable
tip sheets covering the complete ar-
ray of crime concerns from fraud
to personal safety. I am aware that
despite our best efforts, crimes will
continue to occur.
I do believe though we need to
participate in straightforward,
common sense solutions to pro-
tect ourselves. I also know that the
members of the Blackfalds RCMP
and local community peace offi cers
are committed to community polic-
ing and building relationships with
citizens. We need to work together
to address the cycles of crime and
build an atmosphere of long-term
community building to prevent as
much crime as possible.
Melodie Stol is the mayor of Black-falds.
In March, when Alison Redford
resigned as Premier of Alberta, we
thought that the Progressive Con-
servative Party of Alberta might be
able to pull themselves out of the
muck of scandal and remember
how to run a province.
Apparently, that won’t be the
case.
Mere months after Redford’s res-
ignation, the PC Party is once again
the target of much backlash after a
couple of controversial moves.
And this time, they can’t place
the blame on Redford.
Sure, Redford is once again un-
der fi re regarding her travel plans
for allegedly creating ‘ghost pas-
sengers’ to prevent her having to
fl y with others, but we already
knew that Redford cared little for
keeping Albertans’ trust or for pol-
icy when it came to travel.
More disconcerting is the gov-
ernment trying to play politics
with licence plates, or quietly lift-
ing the three-year wage freeze for
senior civil servants implemented
in February of 2013, a move the
government was very proud of at
the time.
It’s not like we thought bad gov-
ernment would end right away
when Redford left, but we thought
they would at least begin making
steps toward a government Alber-
tans could be proud of.
And actually, they did, to some
degree.
Just last week the Lacombe
Express commended the Alberta
Government for implementing Bill
11, which lifted the automatic pub-
lication ban on children who died
while in provincial care, only to
have the government turn around
and undo all that work by under-
handedly breaking yet another
promise to Albertans.
Have the members of Alberta’s
PC government already forgotten
they are trying to rekindle faith
in an electorate that doesn’t trust
them?
It’s not really something they
can afford to do.
Already, Danielle Smith leader
of the Wildrose Party, has taken
to Twitter to use Redford’s latest
scandal as a springboard to launch
an attack on PC leadership hopeful
Jim Prentice, telling Albertans to
remember that Prentice had a lav-
ish taste of his own when it came
to travel.
It’s past time for the Government
of Alberta to recognize that Alber-
tans will only take so much of this.
You can only break so many
promises before no one trusts you
anymore and the government has
already broken more than their
fair share of promises.
It’s time for the Alberta’s Pro-
gressive Conservative Party to
stop being unjust, unfair and un-
derhanded and begin making the
long overdue moves towards re-
sponsible, accountable transparent
government.
It’s time for the government to
start acting like a government, or
step aside and let someone else do
the job.

Lacombe City council has ap-
proved the master plan for the
Fairview Cemetery Expansion.
At their regular meeting on
July 28th, City council heard
a presentation from Commu-
nity Services Director Brenda
Vaughan that proposed a number
of changes to the Fairview Cem-
etery.
Included in the report were
proposals to approve the master
plan, amend policies regarding
interment and increase user fees.
Councillor Reuben Konnik said
he was taken aback by the “phe-
nomenal” cost increase for the
fi rst phase of the project.
Preliminary estimates for the
fi rst phase, which would pro-
vide the cemetery with a fi ve- to
eight-year supply of plots, came
in at $225,000 but now costs are
believed to come in at $427,593.25.
“I’m disappointed in the
$200,000 increase for Phase 1,”
said Konnik.
“That’s just Phase 1, never-
mind phases two through fi ve.
We’re going to be spending a lot
of money on this cemetery.
“It disappoints me - this in-
crease.”
Konnik added he was also dis-
appointed in the increasing fees.
He said he didn’t understand
why fees needed to increase just
because neighbouring municipal-
ities were increasing their fees.
“I fi nd that a poor justifi cation
to raise our rates, because we are
lower than everyone else.”
Vaughan said keeping fees
competitive with other munici-
palities is simply a mechanism
used to keep plots available for lo-
cal residents.
She added that individuals
from other municipalities might
purchase plots outside of their
own communities if they are
much cheaper.
Councillor Grant Harder also
had concerns to do with the
heightened cost of the project as
well as the increasing fees.
He said that, of late, the quotes
received by the City for work like
stripping and grading have been
incredibly low.
“We’re seriously underestimat-
ing the amount of stripping and
grading that’s required on all our
projects.”
Harder also suggested using
different options of fee increases
for residents and non-residents
so that Lacombians would not
be so drastically affected by the
change in price.
“That way, non-residents in-
vestigating the rates in Lacombe
would fi nd that they are competi-
tive but we don’t penalize our lo-
cal townspeople for passing away
in Lacombe,” said Harder.
He then later made a motion
to that effect - looking to raise
the fees to refl ect an average of
similar communities for non-res-
idents and raising fees to 80% of
calculated averages for residents.
The motion was then passed
and fee changes will come into ef-
fect as of Sept. 1st.
Council made and passed three
motions to approve the master
plan.
They also amended the number
of urns that can be placed in cer-
tain plots and adjusted user fees
for the cemetery as well.

The Town of Blackfalds is reminding citizens that prop-
er placement of bins is needed in order to facilitate the
automated pick-up process.
Garbage and recycling bins need to be at least one metre
(3 ft.) apart from each other as well as any surrounding
objects to ensure that the collection trucks have enough
room to do their job.
“Cart placement is what we’re trying to help people
with. When you change out 7,000 people’s garbage collec-
tion system, there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve,
but we’re just trying to catch the last few people,” said Phil
Hoyle, public works manager for the Town.
“In the summer, people are away and maybe they missed
the literature that came at the start of this. We’re just try-
ing to catch the last fi ve per cent, and help them to get it
placed properly.”
Carts are picked up by a truck with a mechanical arm,
which means the bins must be placed on the street or in
the alley with the wheels and handle toward the residence
and with the lid facing out and opening towards the road
or alley.
There are arrows on the top of the cart lid indicating the
proper placement.
A one-metre clearance from all objects such as fences,
parked vehicles, poles, or utility boxes must be left on all
four sides. As well, a three-metre overhead clearance from
trees and power lines is required.
If the bin is not compliant with Town regulations, a
green sticker will be placed on the container to let the resi-
dent know that there is an issue with placement or if the
bin exceeds weight restrictions.
Once the resident has complied with the waste and re-
cycling guidelines, the collections will empty the carts and
containers that were tagged on the next regular pick up
day.
“Residents aren’t typically placing all of their carts and
yard waste containers out every week,” said Hoyle.
“But, we estimate that we will have data on the in-
creased diversion of waste to the landfi ll as a result of the
new cart program in a few months’ time.”
There have been a few challenges rolling out the new
collection program so far.
Residents are asked to pay attention to and attempt to
resolve the following issues - proper placement of bins,
adjusting to an extra collection day, proper labeling of
addresses on carts and returning empty carts back onto
properties within 24 hours of collection.
The Town is also encouraging residents to visit the
Blackfalds web site to review what items can be placed in
regular garbage and recycling pick up.
This does not include yard waste, which offi cials say is
to be left in the old style cans that need to be emptied by
hand.
Acceptable recycling materials must be clean.
Items that can be recycled in the program include glass,
metals, newspapers, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard,
boxboard (cereal boxes, shoe boxes, etc.) and certain
plastics that are listed on the Blackfalds waste recycling
schedule page.

Add four more bronze to
Lacombe’s Alberta Sum-
mer Games medal total -
the basketball players are
coming home with hard-
ware.
Jonathan Ericson, Cale
Hamelin Carter McLena-
han and Andrew Cunning-
ham were part of the Zone
4 basketball team that took
the bronze medal, defeating
Zone 4 in the bronze fi nal.
Coach Jody Watson said
he couldn’t be happier with
how the team played and
added the medal victory
was actually quite unex-
pected.
“We didn’t have any huge
expectations,” said Watson.
“A bronze medal was cer-
tainly a pleasant surprise.”
Watson went on to say
that, traditionally, Zone 4
is not particularly strong in
basketball.
As such he was more
than happy with the third
place fi nish and said the
only teams Zone 4 lost to
were the fi rst and second
place fi nishers.
Cunningham said he too
was a little unsure of how
the team would perform.
“I don’t know if I expect-
ed to win a medal coming
in,” said Cunningham.
He added he knew there
would be some stiff com-
petition and wasn’t sure
if Zone 4 would be strong
enough to overcome that
competition.
While the expectations
for Zone 4 were not particu-
larly high before entering
the tournament, Watson
said it soon became clear
that the team had the drive
to go far.
“As soon as we started
playing you could tell the
guys were really, really
hungry for it,” said Watson.
“They put everything out
there every single game.”
Prior to the Alberta Sum-
mer Games, Cunningham
had said one of the things
he was looking forward to
was seeing what the com-
petition was like across
Alberta. What he learned
was that there is some stiff
competition in other zones.
“I found out there is a
lot of really talented bas-
ketball players,” said Cun-
ningham.
Watson said one of the
reasons the competition
was stiff is that many of
the zones can pull players
from larger and sometimes
more competitive pools.
“They can draw from so
many more players than we
possibly can.”
McLenahan said that,
while the larger centres
may have bigger pools of
players to choose from, he
thinks Central Alberta has
some excellent coaches and
very competitive players.
He added that one of the
things he was looking for-
ward to about the Alberta
Summer Games was meet-
ing and playing with new
players. Afterwards, he
said the experience did not
disappoint.
“It was really fun, I had
a really great time,” said
McLenahan. “They are an
awesome group of people
and really fun to hang
around. They really know
how to play basketball.”
In the bronze medal fi -
nal, Zone 4 was able to de-
feat Zone 5 handily in a 69-
46 game. Watson said this
was due to Zone 4 peaking,
putting on the pressure
and the loss of a key Zone 5
player halfway through the
game.
With the large score gap,
Watson was able to make
sure everyone got to play in
the bronze medal game.
“To get everybody in that
bronze medal game was
really great for those play-
ers.”
As with many of the
Alberta Summer Games
teams, the basketball team
had some diffi culty devel-
oping a team chemistry at
fi rst.
Luckily, Watson had
some time to get them
ready and planned several
practice sessions in each of
the communities that play-
ers had been drawn from to
help bring the team togeth-
er. In addition to the prac-
tices, the team even got the
chance to play together in a
few tournaments before the
games.
Watson said the team re-
ally came together when it
counted.
“They did so many little
things right,” said Watson.
“We played our best game
in our last game so they
were just kind of peaking
at the right time.”
The Alberta Summer
Games, which ran July 24-
27th, featured an array of
sports including baseball,
canoe/kayak, cycling (BMX
and Mountain Bike), la-
crosse, rugby, soccer, swim-
ming, softball and volley-
ball among others.
Approximately 3,000 ath-
letes, coaches and offi cials
were expected to take part.

Annual Gord Bamford golf classic coming upBY KALISHA MENDONSALacombe Express
Canadian country sing-
er Gord Bamford is back
again to host a unique char-
ity golf classic and gala, an
event that has been going
strong for seven years.
The two-day event fea-
tures an extravagant gala
at the Sheraton Hotel Exhi-
bition Hall in Red Deer on
the evening of Aug. 13th.
The golf tournament will
see 42 teams playing at the
Lacombe Golf and Country
Club on Aug. 14th.
Last year, over $355,000
was raised through the
Gord Bamford Charitable
Foundation, which put the
money earned just shy of
$1.5 million.
“We just want to have an
opportunity to make a dif-
ference in other people’s
lives and be able to use my
success to raise money for
different sorts of associa-
tions,” said Bamford.
“Ninety-fi ve per cent is
catered to youth and chil-
dren, which is a big part
of my life. I just want to do
something good and give
back to the people that are
in need and make a differ-
ence.”
The event is highly suc-
cessful, with many of its
attendees returning year
after year. The invitation-
only gala will host over
750 people, including big
names such as Canadian
country star Aaron Pritch-
ett, Nashville songwriter
Buddy Owens, NHL leg-
end Curtis Glencross and
iconic Canadian rock band
Trooper.
“At the end of it, it’s
amazing how we seem to
keep raising more and
more money. It’s always
amazing to be able to take
part in all of the stories
that we come
across or we
get to share at
the gala,” said
Bamford.
“When you
get to see how
it really chang-
es things for
(the recipients
of donations),
it can get pret-
ty emotional at
times, but it’s
great to see. It
just wouldn’t
happen with-
out all the sup-
port we have,
and it’s been tremendous
that way.”
The organizations that
receive the donations of
funds raised include the
Make a Wish Foundation,
children’s hospitals, Ron-
ald McDonald House and
Big Brothers & Big Sisters.
Bamford said that it is
diffi cult to set a goal for
monetary donations, but
that he hopes they will
equal or surpass last year’s
total.
He adds that each year
organizers try to make the
event bigger and better, es-
pecially for the people that
have been attending the
event since its inception
seven years ago.
“We raise a lot of mon-
ey and have a great core
of people involved. It’s a
sought after event, and any
time you have that kind
of demand for something
it feels great. As far as a
goal goes, we’re just try-
ing to keep going and keep
improving.” This event is
unique from most golf clas-
sic style tournaments in
that thanks to Bamford’s
entertainment career, he is
able to draw in big names
that are able to provide
entertainment and donate
generously.
He says he feels like the
event is defi nitely moving
in the right direction after
seeing the immense sup-
port that it carries year af-
ter year.
“I really can’t tell you
how it’s gotten to be where
it is – I kind of shake my
head every-
day. It’s still
doing great
things and
h o p e f u l l y
will con-
tinue to do
that.”
Bamford
is also for-
tunate this
year to have
r e c e i v e d
s e v e r a l
n o m i n a -
tions for
the Cana-
dian Coun-
try Music
Awards, which will be
awarded on Sept. 7th live
from Rexall Hall in Edmon-
ton.
Born in Australia in 1976,
Bamford moved to Canada
with his mother at the age
of fi ve, spending his forma-
tive years near Lacombe.
In 1995 he won one of Al-
berta’s largest talent con-
tests, the Nornet Radio Net-
work Search for the Stars.
Early infl uences includ-
ed Alan Jackson, George
Strait, Johnny Cash – and
the times when Garth
Brooks was taking stadium
tours to unprecedented
heights. He then teamed
up with Rob Bartlett from
Sundae Sound in Calgary
to record his debut single
Forever Starts Today which
earned positive raves from
Canadian radio in 1996.
By 2000, he was ready to
record his fi rst CD - God’s
Green Earth - at Sound
Edge Productions.
“NINETY-FIVE PER CENT IS CATERED
TO YOUTH AND CHILDREN, WHICH IS A BIG PART OF MY
LIFE. I JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING GOOD
AND GIVE BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED AND MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.”

ARTS & LEISUREThere’s a top-notch line-up for
this year’s rendition of the 12th
annual Jazz at the Lake Festival,
which will be held from Aug. 14th
-17th in Sylvan Lake.
Jack Semple, who performs
Aug. 16th, plays with the soul and
fi re of a Mississippi Delta blues
man.
He has spent decades honing
his craft and establishing himself
as one of North America’s pre-
mier guitar virtuosos. His CD In
the Blue Light won a 2013 Western
Canadian Music Award for Best
Blues Recording.
He launched his musical ca-
reer playing with various Regina-
based bands, and later relocated
to Toronto in the late 1980s to
become the lead guitarist of The
Lincolns, a popular funk and
rhythm and blues band.
He left the band after two years
and returned to Regina to pursue
a solo career and to spend more
time with his family.
He commenced a solo record-
ing career that has resulted in the
release of 10 albums. In 1992, he
also came to national prominence
through winning the MuchMusic
‘Guitar Wars’ contest.
Semple has been twice nomi-
nated, in 1999 and 2000, for a
Gemini Award for his soundtrack
work on the television series In-
credible Story Studio.
He also won a Juno award in
1991 for best roots recording. He
has won two Western Canadian
music awards for Qu’Appelle and
In the Blue Light.
He continues to perform as
a solo artist and with The Jack
Semple Band across Canada.
Meanwhile, event organizers
Eric Allison and Cheryl Fisher
have lined up more than 100 in-
ternational, national, provincial
and local musicians to perform
throughout the event.
“One of our goals is always to
make jazz accessible to people,
so we work hard to bring in a
variety of highly-talented musi-
cians, at a reasonable price for
the audience,” says Allison. “It’s
important to bring music to the
community, and the community
has really embraced the festi-
val.”
Audiences will be treated to 14
events held at locations through-
out Sylvan Lake.
With everything from free out-
door performances to the Friday
and Saturday night headliners,
there will be swinging and sultry
jazz for everyone to enjoy.
This year’s line-up includes the
aforementioned Semple, interna-
tional jazz legends Tuck and Patti
and local favourites Johnny Sum-
mers, The Alberta Playboys and
Caravana, among others.
The Johnny Summers Little
Big Band, which performs Aug.
14th, is an eight-piece ensemble
with a smoking horn section that
has been the featured band by
public demand for the last eight
consecutive years at the festival
kickoff Swing Dance.
Summers is a multi-faceted
musician: trumpet player, vocal-
ist, arranger and bandleader.
He recently won the Global
Music Award for Best Male Vocal-
ist as well.
Tuck and Pattie perform Aug.
15th. Tuck Andress is a world-
class guitarist, but he’s also im-
bued with the rare gift of good
taste.
His musical partner and wife,
Patti Cathcart, is an soulful and
inventive jazz stylist and among
the best scat singers since Ella
Fitzgerald.
On Aug. 17th, The Caravana
Gypsy Quartet is slated to per-
form. Let the group transport you
back to the Paris of the 30s and
40s with their authentic and in-
fectious Gypsy swing.
The Alberta Playboys perform
Aug. 17th.
Flashy guitar licks played by
Aaron Young, swingin’ beats
brushed on skins by drummer
Jon May, virtuoso melodies
bowed by fi ddler Jonathan Lewis
and thumpy bass notes woofed
by Jason Valleau on upright
bass creates the province’s super
group: The Alberta Playboys.
The Beatles Bash runs Aug.
16th.
With 2014 marking the 50th an-
niversary of the Beatles’ only ap-
pearance on Canada’s west coast,
Jazz at the Lake is celebrating the
occasion by presenting a Beatles
Bash 50th Anniversary Tribute.
The ‘Gala Under the Stars’
runs Aug. 17th, and will feature
a select group of guests who will
return to the heyday of Las Vegas
in the 50s and the 60s when the
Rat Pack was king.
Held at the Meadowlands Golf
Course in the big tent under the
stars, this dinner, dance and si-
lent auction event hopes to raise
$10,000 towards the continuation
of Jazz At The Lake, its perfor-
mances and programs.
Another highlight this year
will be ‘Project Discovery’, a
provincially-recognized perfor-
mance program.
Through this project, students
get to play in the festival and
learn from Semple.
“This program is so important,
because students get a chance to
learn and gain confi dence while
doing something that they love,”
said Cheryl Fisher, festival pro-
ducer.
“For some, it’s their fi rst time
performing on stage, and they’re
just thrilled to have an audience.”
Program participants include
winners from Alberta Kiwanis
Festivals and from the Sylvan
Lake Celebration of Music, as
well as local students who are
considered especially talented by
their schools and teachers.
“There will be 12 performances
this year, and one group will be a
trio,” said Fisher.
“In the past, we’ve seen unbe-
lievable things from students as
young as six or seven years old.
These young musicians can re-
ally break your heart - and bring
the house down.”

‘It’s summertime and the living is
easy,’ is a favourite expression at this
time of year. But health hazards don’t
care what month it is.
You can stub your toe at any time. And,
for instance, how many parents worry
that their children face a hazard simply
by brushing their teeth, summer or win-
ter?
Can a roller coaster ride cause more
than thrills? Can binge drinking result in
more than a hangover? And, in summer,
never mess around with 300,000,000 volts.
Dr. Jurgen Kuschyk, a cardiologist at
University Hospital in Mannheim, Ger-
many, reports that anyone over 14 years
of age should get a physical checkup
before taking a roller coaster ride. This
should include an electrocardiogram
and, even better, an echocardiogram.
Kuschyk’s study involved 57 volun-
teers ranging from 18 to 79 years of age.
Electrocardiograms monitored their
heart rhythm before, during and after
a ride. Doctors were surprised to fi nd
that 44% of participants had irregular
rhythms lasting up to fi ve minutes.
Most rides generated 4 Gs (gravitation-
al force), super rides 4 to 5 Gs. Fighter pi-
lots pass out when subjected to 6 to 9 Gs!
If you’re worried about the economy
or continued Middle East unrest and
need an alcoholic drink to relax, remem-
ber that moderate drinking is prudent at
all times. A report in the British Medi-
cal Journal makes alarming reading for
those who have a habit of binge drinking.
Dr. Mohantha Dooldeniya, a urologist
at Pinderfi elds Hospital in Wakefi eld,
England, reports that three women ar-
rived at the hospital after a bender. They
all complained of lower abdominal pain.
Doctors initially diagnosed cystitis, a
bladder infection. Later, when they used
abdominal scans and laparoscopy to peek
into the abdomen, they were shocked to
fi nd that their urinary bladders had rup-
tured.
How could this happen? Alcohol is a di-
uretic that causes more frequent urina-
tion. But it’s also an anesthetic and dulls
the urge to go.
This is a bad combination. Often the
intoxicated person falls asleep and uri-
nates in bed. But in some cases bladder
pressure is so strong and the senses so
dulled that the bladder ruptures.
And if a person falls with a distended
bladder, rupture is even more likely.
Eggs and the microwave ovens don’t
mix. Eggs cooked in a microwave reach
a higher temperature than if they were
boiled.
One nine-year-old girl reheated a pre-
viously boiled egg and placed it in a bowl.
Thirty minutes later as she was taking it
to the dining room, it exploded, eggshells
striking her right eye and face.
Medical tidbits to ponder about summer safety
YOUNG GARDENER - May Pugh, 2, waters fl owers in the gardensoutside the Lacombe Memorial Centre as part of the Flowers and Plants themed Adventure Daze session recently. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express
The explosion perforated the cornea of
the eye and ruptured the anterior lens cap-
sule. Following the injury she could only see
hand movements. Her vision was restored
after several operations and the insertion of
a plastic lens.
“Go brush your teeth before bed,” is a fa-
miliar cry from parents. But a report from
the Public Health Agency of Canada says
the lowly toothbrush can cause a life-threat-
ening injury.
A few injuries have occurred while chil-
dren brushed their teeth.
The problem is fooling around with the
toothbrush in their mouths and bumping
into something. In a few cases the entire
toothbrush has been swallowed. And if a
toothbrush contains batteries, this is a med-
ical emergency.
Readers must be reminded that every year
lightning kills more people in North Ameri-
ca than hurricanes and tornados. Lightning
strikes this planet 3.6 million times every
year. It’s 50,000 times hotter than the sun
and has the power of up to 300,000,000 volts.
This voltage has destroyed an ammuni-
tion depot, a Pan Am 707, two English wom-
en wearing wired bras, and many engaged in
outdoor sports. Remember, if you can count
30 seconds or less between a lightning fl ash
and thunder, seek protection immediately.
So, even if you’re playing the best round
of golf in your life, stop playing.
Swimmers should get out of the water.
If your hair stands on end, you’re about
to be hit and your only hope is to drop im-
mediately to the ground. And many people
have been killed by 300,000,000 volts after the
storm has ended!
The safest place in an electrical storm is in
your home. But stay away from open doors,
metal sinks, telephones and fi re places.

Our boss, Andrew just came back from
three weeks of intensive study as he works
on his master’s degree.
We truly missed his face around here
and it is so good to see him back full of new
ideas and energy. When I asked him about
his studies he admitted that they were a
challenge and that it was tiring but in the
end it has given him new perspective and
I’m sure a cranium full of ideas.
When we challenge ourselves it is at fi rst
frightening, then we consider how much
work is involved and after the challenge is
over we are very tired.
After we have rested our brains we then
feel the new ideas taking hold and it ener-
gizes us. Only the last phase is really excit-
ing, the rest are quite a bit of work!
I think this is the reason why most peo-
ple stop just short of challenging them-
selves.
It’s like travelling to Edmonton and not
taking the QE2, it’s a new route and the
roads are not smooth and we are not as
comfortable driving this new path.
The temptation to go back to the QE2
is overwhelming even if it is not the best
route to take.
If we stop short and reroute the chal-
lenge we may fi nd similar results but we
fail to enjoy the energy and new ideas that
can come from our bravery.
Try to move yourself in a new direction,
even in the simple things in life. Try a new
restaurant or coffee shop or even order off
the other side of the menu if you dare.
Are you renovating or decorating? For-
get everything you are tearing out of your
house and forage a new path. You wouldn’t
believe how many people reference back
to, ‘I used to have this colour paint’ or ‘My
carpet is that ugly shade of beige, I hate it,’
yet they keep choosing the SAME colours
over and over again! It astonishes me.
I often wonder how I would decorate if
I was able to build a new home with no re-
strictions, nothing in the house that I have
to keep as I have done with so many reno-
vations.
What would I do and how would I chal-
lenge myself ?
I think that if the opportunity presented
itself I would go hog wild and indulge in
my colour desires of red, orange and of
course green which I seem to have in every
house.
People would gasp, stare and judge but I
think they would be secretly envious of my
bold and daring palette.
The challenge wouldn’t be in merely
choosing the colours but in resisting the
slings and arrows of others’ opinions. It
would lie in the worry that would keep
me up at night when I consider re-selling
a house with an orange kitchen and the
exhaustion would lie in trying to fi nd con-
tractors brave and bold enough to source
materials to satisfy my every whim.
The triumph would be in successfully
pulling off my unique vision and pre-
senting it to the world, hearing the ‘oohs’
and ‘aahs’ of my friends as they wander
through my home.
I would revel in the love affair I was hav-
ing with my beautiful new home and be
proud of the fact that I took the road less
travelled and yet wound up at a brighter
destination.

HOMES & LIVING
Can you imagine living without the mod-
ern comforts of your home?
For those who want the newest innova-
tions in their home, two categories lead
the way: light control and energy manage-
ment. Sally Morse, director of creative ser-
vices at window fashions company Hunter
Douglas, gives us the scoop on lighting and
energy use.
“The evolution of windows is remark-
able,” says Morse, “From hide coverings
to panes made of translucent animal horn,
then thin slices of marble, oiled paper,
then fi nally glass. And the shapes and sizes
of windows changed too, requiring innova-
tions to the original window treatments
invented by the Egyptians 4,000 years ago.
Ever since, people have translated the core
concept of a simple covering that blocks
out light into myriad styles with increas-
ing functionality.”
Light-emitting diodes or LED-based
lights are now increasingly popular. With
distinct advantages over incandescent
light sources – including lower energy
consumption, longer lifetime, improved
physical robustness and smaller size – they
are a smart choice for every room of the
house. And while LEDs are not inexpen-
sive, their durability and low power usage
mitigate the initial cost. Recessed ceiling
lights, under-counter lights, chandeliers,
sconces, nearly every style of home light-
ing you can think of is now available with
LEDs. In addition, there are sofa frames
and tables, draperies and even wallcover-
ings equipped with this type of light.
“It is actually awe-inspiring to see
how designers incorporate LEDs in their
work,” Morse says.
Home automation is also developing at
a rapid rate, and the connected home is at
the top of many an agenda. From robotic
vacuum cleaners to motorized window
dressings, operation is automatic.
For example, with the Hunter Douglas
Platinum App, it just takes a tap of the fi n-
ger to easily preset and reset the precise
positioning of multiple motorized window
treatments.
“Call it what you will,” says Morse, “In-
novation, progress, or simply, change. One
thing is certain, we’re riding a wave of
creativity, and I can’t wait to see what the
coming years will bring.”
