BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express

It’s good to know that good deeds do not go unnoticed.

For her many years of volunteer work and service to

the community of Lacombe, Rilla Hand has been rec-

ognized as this year’s Lacombe and District Chamber of

Commerce Lifetime Achievement award winner.

Hand said that she was quite taken aback even when she

was informed she had been nominated for the award.

“I certainly didn’t expect that,” said Hand. She added

that she was quite pleased when she was chosen as the re-

cipient.

“It is a wonderful honour and you don’t expect that

when you are volunteering, to be honoured in that way,”

said Hand. She added that the gesture is an interesting one

as volunteers don’t do what they do to get recognized.

“You don’t expect that somebody is going to notice and

think that you are doing something great,” said Hand.

Volunteering has always been important for Hand, she

said.

“It’s just a way of giving back to the community,” said

Hand. “A lot of things wouldn’t be done if it wasn’t for

volunteers.”

And just as volunteers support their communities,

Hand has those who support her. She said her volunteer

work would not have been possible without her family,

whom she was very glad to have with her when she re-

ceived the award.

“They are always there for you,” said Hand. “They are

very important.”

Hand went on to say that there are many benefi ts to vol-

unteering as well.

She said she particularly enjoys the social aspect of her

community involvement, saying it has led her to meet new

people and forge new friendships.

In fact, it was friendships that led to much of Hand’s vol-

unteer work. She said that with the fi rst groups she joined

she was invited to do so by friends.

Born in Kerrobert, SK, Hand moved to the Village of

Clive with her family in 1945.

She attended high school in Lacombe, moving into the

community while in Grade 10. She said she didn’t really

get involved with community volunteering until much

later in life, after she had a family and her four children

had grown up some.

Through her friends, Hand began working with some of

the volunteer groups within the community.

She said that she was invited to join one volunteer

group, which made connections that led to an invite to join

another, then another as a snowball effect began to form.

Hand said that her accomplishments aren’t hers alone,

but were done as part of volunteer groups with many

more members working towards a common goal.

Her humility was obvious when she mentioned these

other members.

“I certainly didn’t do it alone,” said Hand.

“There are lots of other people that belong to all these

organizations that do as much or more as I have done.”

As is fi tting for someone receiving the Lifetime Achieve-

ment award, Hand has been very involved with many

charitable organizations and volunteer groups over the

years.

She said she has been a dedicated member of the Impe-

rial Order of Daughters of the Empire for over 25 years, is

a founding member of the Lacombe Palliative Care Soci-

ety, does bookkeeping for the Lacombe Farmer’s Market,

and is very involved with her parish, St. Andrew’s United

Church.

Hand added that she has held executive positions nu-

merous times with many of these groups. She also said

she has been involved with several other initiatives in the

past.

While Hand said she doesn’t do as much as she used to,

it is clear she is still very involved in the community.

The Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce Life-

time Achievement Award is awarded each year to some-

one who has demonstrated service to the community for

over 25 years.

Like the Citizen of the Year award, it is given to candi-

dates who demonstrate passion for their community and

a drive to improve the quality of life for the members of

that community.

The City of Lacombe

is updating its Municipal

Development Plan, and it

needs your help.

Lacombe’s Municipal

Development Plan (MDP)

is outdated and in need of

revision. As such, the City

has begun the process of

updating the plan and is

hoping to spread aware-

ness and get the commu-

nity at large involved in the

project.

Lacombe’s MDP is dif-

fi cult to explain for a num-

ber of reasons, offi cials say.

First, it is a very broad

plan which can make it

seem vague. It is also very

complex, as it relates to

most every other plan

made by the City.

Finally, as Manager of

Planning and Development

for the City of Lacombe

Lyla Peter puts it, the MDP

is a dry, even uninteresting

document for many people

to read, particularly when

residents may not see how

changes to it can affect them.

“The MDP is, for most

people, rather a dull docu-

ment,” said Peter.

Jen Kirchner, planner

for the City of Lacombe,

explains the MDP as a tree

that gets more defi ned as it

branches out.

At the top is the MDP,

which sets the guidelines

for the how developments

should be done in Lacombe.

Below that are the Area

Structure Plans (ASPs), all

of which must follow the

Guidelines of the MDP, that

outline how development

should be done in specifi c

areas of Lacombe.

Below them are the de-

velopments themselves,

which must adhere to the

ASPs.

It is important to un-

derstand that revising the

MDP does not mean the

City is looking to immedi-

ately develop any areas or

change existing develop-

ments.

Instead, the MDP deals

with what developers do

wish to develop within the

City.

The MDP also looks at

when those developments

should take place and what

developments should look

like years down the road.

That is not to say that

updating the MDP will not

encourage development

either. Peter said that she

hopes revising the MDP

will make things easier for

developers, which in turn

may encourage them to de-

velop in Lacombe.

“We would like to think

that what this will do is

help developers out in

terms of what our expecta-

tions are,” said Peter.

Currently, the City is

very much in the beginning

stages of the MDP revision.

Peter said that right now,

City Hall is immersed in a

research phase of updating

the plan.

She added that part of

this is letting the public

know what is going on as

well.

Through a series of in-

formative ads currently

running in the Lacombe

Express, the City hopes to

introduce some topics re-

lated to the MDP and dis-

cuss how the MDP deals

with them.

Peter said that the key fo-

cus of this now is to spread

awareness about the MDP,

so that people can under-

stand how the MDP might

affect them.

However, awareness

and discussion go hand-

in-hand, so the City is also

looking for some feedback

and hoping to create a bit

of discussion between the

City of Lacombe and its

citizens about the MDP.

To encourage that in-

volvement, the City is also

doing a scavenger hunt re-

lated to the promotion of

the MDP revision.

Each week a new clue for

the scavenger hunt will be

released within the infor-

mative ad running in the

Lacombe Express, relating

to that topic.

The prize for the hunt is a

one-year family pass to the

Kinsmen Aquatic Centre.

“WE WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WHAT

THIS WILL DO IS HELP DEVELOPERS OUT IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE.”

pet’s food? Well so are we; So come on in to see that we have the best selection

of foods for your pet’s nutritional needs.



Get out your photo albums and dust off

those covers - Lacombe Regional Tourism

wants to see your best shots of Lacombe

and area. Organizers also point out that

there isn’t much time – tomorrow marks

the deadline to submit.

Marie Péron, executive director of La-

combe Regional Tourism, said that La-

combe Regional Tourism is looking for the

best seasonal photos of peoples, places,

experiences and events in the Lacombe

region to be entered into its photo contest.

“We want to see more images and visu-

als that people associate with the region,”

said Péron.

“Not only is it a great way for us to in-

teract with the public and to engage with

them through social media, but it’s a great

way for us to see those visuals.”

Péron said that photographs are typi-

cally ways for people to remember experi-

ences that stand out to them and those are

the moments and experiences Lacombe

Regional Tourism wants to know about.

She added that the contest is a good way

for people to become a little more aware of

what the region has to offer.

Because Lacombe County’s geographi-

cal region is so large, some of the photos

may be very different from each other,

Péron said.

A photo taken in the west end of the

county may be vastly different from one

taken during the same season in the east.

Péron said that a number of photos of

many different subjects have already been

submitted to the contest.

“If you look at the images, they are actu-

ally quite striking,” said Péron. “There is

actually quite a variety of them.”

Photos submitted to the contest will be

added to Lacombe Regional Tourism’s

photo database and may be used in future

promotions by Lacombe Regional Tour-

ism.

The top 10 photos selected will also be

framed and displayed at the Flatiron Mu-

seum from the kickoff of the Light Up the

Night Festival on Nov. 28 and run until Feb

1.

Afterwards, the printed version of those

photos will be gifted to the contestants who

submitted the photo.

Prizes will also be awarded to the top

three photos, with fi rst place receiving a

$150 prepaid gas card and a $50 gift cer-

tifi cate to Salt Restaurant; second place

receiving a $50 prepaid gas card and $50

gift certifi cate to Salt Restaurant and third

place receiving a $50 gift certifi cate to Salt

Restaurant. Prizes winners, as well as the

top 10 photos to be displayed, will all be de-

cided by votes of Lacombe Regional Tour-

ism’s facebook fans.

So, once submissions have closed for the

contest and participants have all their pho-

tos submitted, it is important to continue

visiting the facebook page to vote, said

Péron.

In order to enter the contest, partici-

pants require a facebook account. Find the

Lacombe Regional Tourism page on face-

book and ‘like’ it.

After that, photos can be submitted. Par-

ticipants can submit one photo per day.

Photos can also be submitted via Twitter

by using the hashtag #mylacombe.

Photos can be submitted to the contest

up until Nov. 15. Voting then begins on

Nov. 16.

In response to the ongo-

ing outbreak of measles in

southern Alberta, Alberta

Health Services (AHS)

is providing additional

measles immunization op-

portunities for individuals

at highest risk of illness,

including those residing in

areas with low immuniza-

tion rates.

In the Central Zone of

AHS, drop-in measles im-

munization clinics have

been scheduled in the

towns of Two Hills and La-

combe.

These clinics will offer

the measles vaccine to chil-

dren aged 12 months to 17

years who have not yet re-

ceived measles vaccine, or

who require a second dose

of measles vaccine, to be

fully protected.

Parents uncertain of

their child’s immuniza-

tion status are asked to call

their local public health of-

fi ce before visiting any of

the clinics.

Lacombe Community

Health Centre will hold a

clinic offering the measles

vaccine to children be-

tween 12 and 17 months

who have not had the vac-

cine or a second dose of the

vaccine on Nov. 14 and Nov.

21 on site at 5010 51 St.

These clinics are set up

for the measles vaccine

only.

Infl uenza immunization

is available at a Lacombe

clinic on Nov. 19.

For full clinic sched-

ules, including local clinic

details, visit www.alber-

tahealthservices.ca/influ-

enza.

Symptoms of measles in-

clude fever, cough, runny

nose or red eyes and a red

blotchy rash that appears

three to seven days after fe-

ver starts.

The rash typically begins

behind the ears and on the

face, spreading down to

the body and fi nally to the

arms and legs.

Spread easily through

the air, measles is extreme-

ly contagious, offi cials say.

A person with measles is

considered to be contagious

from one day before having

any symptoms (which is

usually about four to seven

days before the rash ap-

pears), until four days after

the appearance of the rash.

AHS is also reminding

anyone with the symptoms

of measles to stay home,

avoid contact with others,

and call Health Link Alber-

ta (1-866-408-5465) before

visiting any hospital, clin-

ic, physician, or emergency

department.

By calling ahead before

seeking treatment, you can

help reduce the potential

risk of spreading this dis-

ease to others.

The Way We Move - Transportation

Most people only think of transportation as it relates to moving people but it also plays an important role in shaping how our city develops. Transportation is essential to our economic development and allows us to move goods, services and people. Transportation physically connects a community and takes from our homes to our work to our play.

For most of us, the car is the main way we get around. This is for a variety of reasons including climate, wealth, Canada’s historic development and how we continue to build our cities, towns and connections. In other places around the world, transportation may focus on transit stops, dedicated bike and bus lanes, rail connections, and even canals! While the private car may dominate, the transportation network in Lacombe is extensive! Lacombe was settled around a railway which is still active today; the airport provides air travel; taxi companies and Connex provide bespoke services and our network of trails, sidewalks and road allow for active modes of transportation.

Active Transportation (AT) refers to any form of human-powered transportation such as walking, cycling, using a wheelchair, in-line skating and skateboarding. Active transportation also provides health, social, environmental and economic benefits. For example, by walking to work you can increase your physical activity, help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save money on gas and parking. Canada’s climate may make it more difficult to travel this way year round but many cities have begun promoting AT in every season. Cities can invest in active transportation through providing protection from wind through landscaping and providing sheltered bicycle parking at destinations, much like parking spaces are provided for vehicles.

The way we move is what shapes the form of the City. To achieve this, the MDP Update will reflect and support the recently adopted Transportation Master Plan and Regional Transit Service. The MDP Update will ensure that policies are in place to manage and integrate our growing transportation system. This will help ensure that Lacombe has an efficient transportation network for years to come.


Winter is here and that

means Christmas is ap-

proaching.

It also means that La-

combe and Blackfalds have

begun their ‘Passport to

Christmas’ programs, run

by the communities’ re-

spective Chambers of Com-

merce. Kim Berube, execu-

tive director of Lacombe

and District Chamber of

Commerce, said the objec-

tive is to expose consumers

to the wonderful shopping

experiences in Lacombe

and encourage them to do

their shopping, Christmas

or otherwise, locally.

“There are a lot of beau-

tiful shops in Lacombe,”

said Berube.

Lacombe’s Passport

to Christmas program is

modeled directly after the

Blackfalds Chamber of

Commerce program of the

same name. Berube said

the Lacombe Chamber

heard the program had

been successful in Black-

falds and decided to emu-

late it in Lacombe.

“Basically we didn’t rein-

vent the wheel,” said Ber-

ube. “It was a really suc-

cessful program the way it

was being run so we just

decided to recreate it here.”

Shirley Johnson, presi-

dent of the Blackfalds and

District Chamber of Com-

merce, said that the Black-

falds program was created

using ideas from a number

of other programs in the

area, including one that

Lacombe had been doing in

the early 90s.

Businesses pay a small

fee to participate in the

‘Passport to Christmas’

program and then distrib-

ute passports to partici-

pating customers. Custom-

ers have their passports

stamped once for every

$10 spent in a participating

business.

It takes 30 stamps to fi ll

in a passport. Once com-

pleted, fi lled passports are

returned and entered into

a draw for prizes in ‘La-

combe Bucks’ or ‘Black-

falds Bucks’, depending on

the community. Lacombe/

Blackfalds bucks are gift

certifi cates redeemable at

any store participating in

the respective Passport to

Christmas program.

Prize pools for the pro-

grams in both communities

are the same. The grand

prize is $1,000 in Lacombe/

Blackfalds Bucks, second

prize is $500, and third is

$250.

Johnson said Blackfalds

has been running the pro-

gram for about 10 years

now. She added the benefi ts

to Blackfalds businesses

are many.

Over the years Black-

falds has run the Passport

to Christmas program, par-

ticipating businesses have

seen an increase in spend-

ing during the program,

said Johnson. Not only is

the program a good incen-

tive for customers to shop

local, it is also an opportu-

nity for businesses to thank

them for doing so.

“It’s a bit of a reward

for their customers,” said

Johnson. “It’s a way to say

thank you for your contin-

ued business.”

Both Berube and John-

son spoke of the challenges

small businesses face in

smaller communities, such

as encouraging residents to

shop local. This problem is

related to many of the oth-

ers faced by small business,

like stay open for hours

that accommodate the pub-

lic, having enough staff,

and trying to do everything

at once with limited re-

sources, said Berube.

Another challenge small

businesses face is advertis-

ing and promotion, which

can be expensive for any

business, regardless of

size. Passport to Christmas

attempts to address that

problem by handling the

promotion and advertising

for the event. Both Johnson

and Berube said that expo-

sure businesses receive is

one of the program’s big-

gest benefi ts.

Passports for either the

Lacombe or Blackfalds

Passport to Christmas pro-

gram can be picked up at

the respective Chamber of-

fi ces or any participating

business.

I’d like to begin by sincerely

thanking the citizens of Lacombe

for the confi dence they have shown

in me by re-electing me as Mayor

of the City of Lacombe.

I will continue to work hard and

provide positive leadership for the

next four years.

I would like to welcome back our

incumbent council members – Reu-

ben Konnik, Wayne Rempel and Pe-

ter Bouwsema – for another term,

and I also want to extend a warm

welcome to three new councillors –

Grant Harder, Bill McQuesten and

Wayne Armishaw.

There’s a lot of work to be done,

and challenges to meet, but I have

faith that we can overcome any

obstacles by working together as

a council, and with our dedicated

staff and volunteers, for the better-

ment of our community.

It has been a busy start to this

new term for council and City ad-

ministration, as we move ahead

with initiatives begun last term,

and begin the all-important bud-

geting process for the year ahead.

The draft 2014 capital and opera-

tion budgets will be presented to

Council for discussion on Nov. 25.

It will then be presented to the

public for feedback at an open house

on Nov. 27 which everyone is encour-

aged to attend and provide input.

Subsequent to your comments,

council will determine if any

changes are to be made, and then

will vote on the fi nal budget at their

last regular meeting in December.

In other news, I am pleased to

announce that the City of Lacombe

has launched Echo Energy, a mu-

nicipally-owned energy retail busi-

ness available to Lacombe and area

residents.

Those who sign up will not only

receive a competitive fi xed elec-

tricity rate; they will be helping to

grow our community by shopping

local for their power needs.

Echo Energy will deposit pro-

ceeds from energy sales directly

into the Echo Lacombe Commu-

nity Fund.

This innovative fund has been

established to provide funding sup-

port for local projects, in order to

improve the quality of life for resi-

dents.

To fi nd out more and to sign up,

please visit www.echoenergy.ca.

Finally, I would like to encour-

age everyone to join us from Nov.

28-30 at the annual Light Up the

Night Festival.

This event has grown into a

three-day extravaganza that cap-

tures all of the tradition, heritage

and charm of a good old fashioned

prairie Christmas Festival.

The festival continues to grow

in size and scope every year, with

fantastic new events being added

to existing attractions like the Tim

Horton’s Santa Claus Parade, Tree

Lighting Ceremony, Christmas

Farmer’s Market, Moonlight Mad-

ness, a fi reworks display and real-

live reindeer, all to help kick off the

holiday season!

Also during this festival, we are

inviting everyone down to ME-

Global Athletic Park in an attempt

to eclipse the record for the largest

human Christmas tree.

We will need all hands on deck

on Nov. 29 as we try to get 1,000

people assembled into a distinctive

tree shape.

Come out, join the fun and help

us show the whole world our holi-

day spirit!

I also encourage everyone to

check out the deals on offer at the

many shops, boutiques, and restau-

rants during Moonlight Madness.

Please shop local. A thriving retail

sector is the lifeblood of a sustain-

able community and we need to

support our local businesses so that

Lacombe as a whole can fl ourish.

Steve Christie is the mayor of La-combe.

Wow, it really is true that help comes in all

forms, even the most bizarre.

Most recently, the Senate got help in the bi-

zarre form of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

In the last few weeks, after his admission to

smoking crack cocaine, Ford has drawn atten-

tion away from the Senate spending scandal by

placing himself quite fi rmly in the spotlight.

The powers that be in Ottawa must have

breathed a sigh of relief as the spotlight was off

of them – for the time being, anyways.

And one could argue that it was time the hub-

bub died down anyway, as we have been hearing

about it for, well, if one goes back to the very

beginning when the Senate’s internal economy

committee tasked three senators with review-

ing Senator Patrick Brazeau’s housing allow-

ance, nearly a year.

Ford’s antics did not overshadow all of the

senate-related news of the recent weeks.

In the wake of the scandal, the Saskatchewan

government has passed a resolution calling for

the senate to be abolished.

Shortly afterward, Alberta’s NDP party

called for the same.

However, Premier Redford has said that Al-

berta will not follow Saskatchewan’s example,

instead pushing for what she calls a EEE Sen-

ate, ‘Equal, elected and effective.’

This kind of talk has been around for decades,

and seems to rise and fall in intensity depending

on public mood or the particular atmosphere in

Ottawa.

Whatever the case, not surprisingly, the sus-

pended senators weren’t about to let go of their

positions without a fi ght.

Wallin defended herself and fellow senators,

saying the Senate has “Put the cart before the

horse” by not waiting for the RCMP investiga-

tion into the scandal to fi nish.

Ultimately, what matters is this: the Senate is

broken, and someone needs to fi x it.

The Senate has been a point of contention

among Canadians for decades at the very least.

Many have expressed frustration with the life-

time terms of senators who are appointed by the

government rather than elected.

Others have argued there is little to no use for

the Senate, saying they are paid large sums of

money for doing basically nothing, only rubber-

stamping bills already passed by the House of

Commons.

Both arguments have great merit.

It’s important to note that abolishing the Sen-

ate eliminates the problem, but also eliminates

one of the ‘checks’ in the system of checks and

balances.

However, what is the point of a system of

checks and balances if the system isn’t working

anyway?

It’s not known at this point what needs to be

done to solve the problems swirling around the

Senate, but it’s clear something needs to change

in a signifi cant and effective way. And soon.

It’s been a busy start to a brand new term

It’s looking a lot like Christmas in Cen-

tral Alberta, and it couldn’t have happened

at a better time for all of those working

hard on the 20th anniversary of the Festi-

val of Trees.

‘Festival Week’ kicks off on Nov. 16 with

Festival Lights the Night and the Santa

Claus Parade at 4 p.m. at City Hall Park

in Red Deer. The Festival of Trees will be

open for public hours Nov. 22 and Nov. 23

from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Nov. 24 from 10

a.m. – 4 p.m. at Westerner Park.

“The excitement is building and we have

our fi ngers crossed that the weather will

cooperate this weekend (for the Festival

Lights the Night and Santa Claus Parade),”

said Alaine Martin, project offi cer for the

Red Deer Regional Health Foundation.

There are still limited tickets for three

events that will take place during the Festi-

val of Trees. Cirque de Noel takes place on

Nov. 21 beginning at 7 p.m. This event is re-

served for guests over 18 years of age. The

Festival Business Lunch will take place

Nov. 22. Attendants will hear a presenta-

tion by special guest Frank O’Dea, one of

the founding CEOs of Second Cup.

The other event which still has seating

available is ‘Tis the Season Fashion Lun-

cheon on Nov. 23. Tickets for all of these

events can be purchased at www.tickemas-

ter.ca, or by phone at 1-855-985-5000.

Volunteers are also still needed to help

out at the Festival. Anyone looking to

help out can check out www.reddeerfesti-

valoftrees.ca, or call the ‘volunteer hotline’

at 587-876-0851 or the Red Deer Regional

Health Foundation at 403-343-4773.

Martin added being the 20th anniversary

of the Festival, there will be some special

things planned including an extra light

show during the Festival Lights the Night

and Santa Claus Parade and a memory

walk of trees from the last 20 years.

Proceeds raised from the Festival of

Trees will go towards upgrading equip-

ment for Diagnostic Imaging, Urology and

the operating room. Diagnostic Imaging

and Urology will work in collaboration to

purchase a new imaging unit in the oper-

ating room in Red Deer Regional Hospital.

The urology imaging equipment will as-

sist the urologist with visualization of the

urinary tracts of males and females and

the reproductive system of males. When

not in use for imaging, the equipment will

be used for prostate surgeries, stent inser-

tions and/or any procedure that requires

access to the bladder in a surgical environ-

ment.

Martin encourages Central Albertans to

take in the Festival of Trees.

“The festive season is upon us and it’s

a great way to raise money for something

that benefi ts everyone through the Red

Deer Regional Hospital.”

Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser runs next week


It’s offi cial, 50 Avenue in Lacombe is a Great Street in

Canada. On Nov. 8, Lacombe was announced as the win-

ner of the Canadian Institute of Planners Great Places in

Canada contest ‘Great Streets’ category for its historic 50

Ave.

Mayor of Lacombe Steve Christie said Lacombians

should be proud of this achievement. Christie also repeat-

ed that he sees the achievement as further proof Lacombe

is the best place to live in Canada, something he said when

Lacombe was named a fi nalist in the contest.

“It’s another feather in our cap,” said Christie. “It’s

bragging rights.”

Planner for the City of Lacombe Jen Kirchner, who

nominated Lacombe’s historic main street for the contest,

said she never thought her idea would get this far.

“It is amazing,” said Kirchner. “I never anticipated . . .

winning the grand prize.”

Kirchner expressed her gratitude for the citizens of La-

combe who took the time to vote in the contest.

She said it was evidence of how deeply Lacombians care

for their City. “The community really rallied together,”

said Kirchner. “It shows the passion people in the commu-

nity have.”

Winning the Great Street Award holds special signifi -

cance for both Lacombe and its main street, said Kirchner.

Both she and Christie commented on how Lacombe won

this award not only by votes, but by the scores of profes-

sional planners as well. That means the City’s existing

plans and things like historical preservation were taken

into account along with the votes made on the web site.

Christie also said that it shows that the planning and

administrative staff at the City of Lacombe are working

hard and doing a great job. Kirchner agreed and said that

recognition extends to the community at large.

“It’s nice that the work of the community has been ac-

knowledged in that way,” said Kirchner.

Both Kirchner and Christie also commented on how the

award proves Lacombe can compete on a national scale,

even with communities much larger than itself.

Lacombe was chosen out of four fi nalists; Goerich, On-

tario’s Courthouse Square, Kelowna, British Columbia’s

Bernard Avenue and Edmonton’s 104 Street, for the award.

To commemorate this accomplishment, the City of La-

combe will be presented with a plaque, which should be

ready sometime in February of the new year. Kirchner

said an event to offi cially recognize the achievement is be-

ing planned.

Blackfalds is one step

closer to a new develop-

ment after giving fi rst read-

ing to an Area Structure

Plan.

At its regular meeting on

Nov. 12, Blackfalds Town

Council heard from Gary

Will of the Aurora Heights

development.

Will was in attendance to

present a proposed amend-

ment to the Area Structure

Concept Plan north and

east of the existing Aspen

Lakes Subdivision.

He told council that the

amendments came about

after discussions with ad-

ministration where admin-

istration asked if the plan

could be changed to include

less cul-de-sacs and keep

Broadway Ave. on its exist-

ing alignment.

As a result, the rede-

signed plan kept Broadway

Ave. on its original align-

ment as well as cut the

number of cul-de-sacs from

16 to seven.

Will added that in most

cases where cul-de-sacs

still exist there is a lane or

a municipal reserve that

serves as an exit point.

These revisions, which

Will said greatly improve

the plan, required an

amendment be made to

the Area Structure con-

cept plan which in turn

required an amendment to

the Land Use Bylaw.

There was some concern

about the nearby wetlands

and the related wildlife in

the area.

Councillor Richard Poole

mentioned that the nearby

wetlands are a popular

gathering spot for water-

fowl every year and asked

if some kind of prevention,

perhaps fencing, could be

implemented to protect

wildlife from nearby traf-

fi c.

Council was told that

there will be fencing al-

ready going up along the

nearby Trans Canada Trail

and there is the possibil-

ity of extending that fence

line.

Will added that in some

areas of the plan, compen-

sation will need to be paid

to Ducks Unlimited for lost

wetlands.

However, Mayor Melo-

die Stol commented that,

whether or not the wet-

lands are considered use-

able by Ducks Unlimited,

waterfowl like ducks and

geese will still go there if

there is water.

“I would recommend

consulting with Ducks Un-

limited or Medicine River

Wildlife,” said Stol. “They

often can make design rec-

ommendations to encour-

age or discourage certain

animal behaviours.”

Will added that some

cleanup in the wetlands

will also be done and work

will be done with admin-

istration to improve safe

access of the wetlands and

perhaps promote some rec-

reation use of the wetlands,

such as canoeing.

Blackfalds Town Council

voted unanimously in fa-

vour of giving fi rst reading

to both the Area Structure

Plan and Land Use Bylaws.

Public hearings for each

of the amendments have

been set for Dec. 10.

ARTS & LEISUREBY MARK WEBERLacombe Express

Singer Kim Wempe brings her

tremendous knack for express-

ing herself through music to

The Scott Block in Red Deer on

Nov. 16. Her latest disc, Coali-

tion, the follow-up to Wempe’s

2010 critically-acclaimed Paint-

ing With Tides, is a bold leap into

a new sound that showcases her

songwriting and vocals against

electric guitar hooks, imaginative

percussion (chains, hammers,

beat-boxing), and blues-derived

grooves.

Her fi rst disc, Where I Need to

Be was released in 2009.

“With my past albums, I just

really went with the fl ow,” she

explains during a recent chat.

“But with Coalition, I was very

strategic with it because I wanted

to make a record that really lent

itself to my voice; I wanted to

step it up a notch on this record.

And I was really infl uenced by

the sound that came out on the

record.

“I had to think about that when

I was writing – making sure that

my voice was up front and a cer-

tain style was coming through be-

cause I wanted to make a certain

type of record. And I’m really, re-

ally happy with the way it turned

out.”

Produced by Newfoundland

soul artist Chris Kirby, the CD

features 13 roots-tinged pop/

blues tracks infl uenced by Amer-

icana storytelling and gospel

melodies.

“I was listening to lots of

bluesy, Americana stuff. I was

really infl uenced by that kind of

sound.”

Wempe is originally from Sas-

katchewan, later moving to Cal-

gary and then to Red Deer. She

also studied music at Red Deer

College and eventually moved

east in 2007.

Once in Nova Scotia, she

quickly became immersed in the

East Coast music scene and won

an ECMA in 2009 for her debut

Where I Need to Be. Her sopho-

more release Painting With Tides

featured appearances by Joel

Plaskett, Old Man Luedecke,

Thom Swift and Geoff Hilhorst.

With producer Charles Austin at

the helm, it was released in 2010

on GroundSwell Music/Warner

Canada and nominated for an

ECMA and two Music Nova Sco-

tia Awards.

Shortly thereafter, recognition

of her skills began to take shape

quite rapidly. Highlights over the

past while have included a stop-

over at the 2010 Vancouver Olym-

pics and Junofest in St. John’s,

Newfoundland.

“I was really infl uenced by

the east coast singer/songwriter

sound, and you can hear that in

those records,” she says of the in-

fl uence of the Maritimes on her

craft.

Touring consistently in Canada

for the past few years, Wempe has

also performed alongside Cana-

dian favourites Royal Wood, Jim

Bryson, Jill Barber, and Jenn

Grant to name a few.

She has also appeared at noted

Canadian folk festivals including

Stan Rogers Folk Festival, Lunen-

burg Folk Harbour Festival and

the In the Dead of Winter Festi-

val.

A love for music was sparked

early on, as Wempe recalls her

dad playing guitar around the

house. “When I was a kid, I

wanted to sing, play guitar and

perform. I was always running

around the house performing

something. When I was in Grades

three and four, I’d be singing my

face off - that being all I wanted

to do.”

In Grade 8, music class brought

her the chance to really hone her

skills on guitar and her gift for

music truly surfaced from there.

A knack for songwriting was also

soon to follow. “I feel grateful to

have always known what it is I’ve

wanted to do.”

Still, it took time to become

used to performing onstage. “I

was extremely nervous all the

time. But that’s why Red Deer

College was so amazing, because

we had so many performance op-

portunities where we were given

the chance to hone our skills and

to get comfortable in front of an

audience,” she says. “That took a

long time for me.”

Wempe now lives in Antigon-

ish, Nova Scotia and says the cre-

ative atmosphere, not to mention

the natural beauty of the loca-

tion, provides reams of inspira-

tion. She’s certainly found her

niche.

“I like to sing so many different

types of music, and I listen to so

many different types of music,”

she explains. “I’m always battling

with what I want to do next, but

you always have to go with what

you are being infl uenced by at the

time. You really have to roll with

that.”

Tickets for Wempe’s show are

available at the door.

Horoscope

Aries, you have a lot

on your mind, but only

one concern demands

your undivided

attention. Find a quiet

space to think things

through and trust your

gut feelings.

Taurus, friendships

may weaken if you

don’t keep up your

end of the relationship.

Make an effort to get

together with your

friends and take the

initiative with planning.

Gemini, your approach

to a problem is not

working. It could be

time to take an entirely

new approach and see

if this produces results.

Be patient with this

new approach.

Don’t be surprised if a

busy week fi nds you

dog tired come the

weekend, Cancer. Use

the time off to recharge

your batteries on this

well-deserved break.

Few things can hold

your interest this week,

Leo. Although friends

try, they can’t seem to

keep you focused on

any one thing. Expect

to jump from task to

task this week.

Virgo, an unexpected

consequence appears

this week and you are

caught completely off

guard. Don’t let others

see your surprise. You

must simply roll with

the punches.

Libra, a spark of

ingenuity hits you out

of the blue and you

know just how to put

that inspiration to good

use. Set your plan in

motion as soon as

you are able.

Scorpio, after a few

hectic weeks at home

and at the offi ce, now

is the ideal time for

a vacation. Cast all

responsibilities aside

and enjoy some rest

and relaxation.

Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly

others insist you share. Don’t succumb to pressure to share

those things you prefer remain private.

Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just

need to sort through all of them and fi gure out just what you want to

do in the next few weeks.

The new season has

you feeling refreshed

and ready for new

beginnings, Aquarius.

Make the most of this

new lease on life and

encourage others to

join you.

Pisces,

maintain your focus

around the offi ce, as

you will have to juggle

multiple tasks in the

week ahead.

After their fi rst league game, the Black-

falds Tier 4 Bantam Bulldogs showed they

have a lot of work ahead of them, but also

showed a lot of promise.

This past Saturday the Bulldogs took on

the Innisfail Flyers and tied the game 2-2.

Coach Daryl Olfert said he was happy

with how the Bulldogs played.

“I thought the kids played well,” said

Olfert. “It was a great game.”

The two teams were pretty evenly

matched, making for back-and-forth game

of hockey. Whenever Blackfalds made an

error, Innisfail was quick to try and turn

it to the Flyers’ advantage. However, the

same went for errors made by Innisfail,

where Blackfalds did their best to capital-

ize on the mistake.

After Innisfail took the lead, Blackfalds

made sure to keep themselves in the game.

Hustling hard when it mattered most, the

Bulldogs tied up the score in the third pe-

riod and kept it that way for the rest of the

game. “There were a few little mistakes,

but that’s why we have practices,” said Olf-

ert. He added that the Bulldogs’ work ethic

is something that has come out of both

practices and games.

Olfert said the team is made up mostly

of second-year bantams with a wide va-

riety of skill levels. He added that one of

the keys for this team will be matching the

stronger players up with the weaker ones

to make balanced lines. This also helps the

weaker players learn from the stronger

ones, said Olfert.

With so many second-year players on

the roster, leadership is one of the biggest

strengths the team has, said Olfert. He add-

ed that many of the older players on the

team are working hard to be role models

for the less experienced ones.

Goaltending is another strength the

Bulldogs have. Olfert said both of the

teams’ goalies are exceptional between the

pipes. While the team is beginning to gel

and work better as a unit, Olfert said there

are still some players who try to do every-

thing themselves. He added at the bantam

level of hockey, one-man teams don’t work.

“In bantam you can’t do it by yourself

because there is going to be somebody big-

ger and better and they are going to teach

you a lesson,” said Olfert.

Motivation is a bit of problem for the

team, as it is with many teams at bantam

age, said Olfert. He said that the team

needs to stay confi dent in their abilities

and keep their morale up. Olfert added this

is a challenge for coaches at this age.

“One thing at this age group is you can’t

be negative,” said Olfert. “Or they will

shut down on you.”

Strength on the stick, making sure there

is power behind the Bulldogs shots, is

something else the team will need to work

on along with playmaking. Olfert said both

skills will improve when the players learn

to take their time before making a move.

While there is still work to be done, the

team shows a lot of promise and there is

plenty of season left in which to polish

skills. Olfert said the team is already look-

ing like a strong skating team – an invalu-

able asset to any hockey team.

“They are a fast skating team.”

Blackfalds Bantam Bulldogs show promise

EYES OPEN - Wade Lightburn looks for an open spot on the net as he prepares for a shot on a breakaway out of the Bulldogs’ defensive zone. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express

18 Lacombe Express Thursday, November 14, 2013SPORTS


It was easily the biggest

challenge the Lacombe

Raiders have faced all year.

In a nail-biting provin-

cial semi-fi nal in Lacombe

this past Saturday, the La-

combe Raiders defeated the

Edmonton Black Raiders

22-14 to become the fi rst

ever Central Alberta team

to make it to a provincial

fi nal.

It was clear from the fi rst

quarter that the two teams

were evenly matched. Both

teams had stellar defensive

lines while both struggled

somewhat offensively. By

the end of the fi rst half, nei-

ther team had made much

headway and the score-

board showed the game

tied at 7-7.

The third quarter went

on much the same. It was

in the fourth quarter of the

game where a third down

drive for the end zone by

Edmonton made the tide

turn in its favour.

Knowing the ball was

going to Edmonton’s Al-

exander Gayle, whom Ed-

monton relied heavily on

during the game, Lacombe

anticipated Edmonton’s

play, moving too early and

having an off-side as well

as an unnecessary rough-

ness penalty called against

them.

Those penalties resulted

in the ball being placed on

Lacombe’s goal line and

a subsequent touchdown

for Edmonton. With only

about six minutes left in

the game, it looked like

Lacombe’s shot at the pro-

vincial title might be slip-

ping through the players’

fi ngers. “It was scary,” said

Quarterback David Muel-

ler. He added at that point,

he was not sure if his team

would be able to get the

points back.

Mike Wood said he and

the rest of the coaching

staff were sure the team

could and would catch up.

“We were so confi dent in

our team,” said Wood.

When Edmonton recov-

ered their own kick after

that touchdown, Lacombe’s

defensive line kicked its

game up a notch, stopping

any further touchdown’s

from Edmonton in order

to get the ball back in the

hands of Lacombe’s offen-

sive line.

Middle Linebacker

James Wood said he was

aware of the pressure he

and his line mates were

facing. He added he did

whatever he could to help

the defense and keep them

motivated.

But, as things were look-

ing dire, the winds shifted

again, this time in favour

of Lacombe.

A long run and subse-

quent touchdown by Lu-

cas Wessner closed much

of the score-gap and gave

Lacombe a much-needed

morale boost.Wessner said

he was overjoyed when he

realized he had made it to

the end zone unscathed.

“I was just so happy,”

said Wessner. “I kept run-

ning and then I ran back

around. I was just so hap-

py.”

That morale boost was

even furthered by Ben Ari-

fi n, who had been sitting

on the sidelines with a torn

glut, gearing up and com-

ing onto the fi eld. Arifi n

said as he was standing on

the sidelines watching the

game, he got a call from

his father telling him to get

dressed and give his team

some much needed help.

Lacombe then scored on

a two-point conversion at-

tempt, putting them one

point ahead of Edmonton

and back in the running

for the victory. A few min-

utes later, Arifi n bought his

team some extra insurance

when he made an intercep-

tion and long run for an-

other Lacombe touchdown.

At that point, it looked

like Lacombe had the

game in the bag, but Ed-

monton wasn’t going to let

Lacombe have the victory

that easily. Pushing for one

more touchdown and even

bringing an injured Gayle

back onto the fi eld, Ed-

monton forced Lacombe’s

defense further and fur-

ther back.While Edmonton

looked several times as if

they would score, Lacombe

defense hung on, keeping

the lead until the end of the

game.

The players said they

may not have been able

to do it without the help

of their fans, who showed

outstanding support on

Saturday, braving the cold

weather to cheer on the

team. “I think the fans were

a big factor in this game be-

cause they helped motivate

us through the hard parts,”

said Wessner.

“Seeing friends and fam-

ily in the stands really

helps,” added Mueller.

As the fi rst Central Al-

berta team ever to make it

to a provincial fi nal, both

the players and coaching

staff of the Lacombe Raid-

ers are incredibly excited

and proud of the achieve-

ment. Mike, who decided at

the beginning of the season

to retire from coaching the

Raiders after this year, said

he couldn’t ask for a better

season during his fi nal year

coaching.

Lacombe will host the

Calgary Bulldogs in the

provincial championship at

11 a.m. on Saturday at ME

Global Field.

Lacombe Raiders head to provincial championship

BY FRED KNIPSpecial to the Express

Two-time provincial champions, the La-

combe Peewee Explosion, have advanced

to the Alberta Provincial fi nals for the

third year in a row.

The Explosion faced the Edmonton Mus-

tangs this past weekend, dominating the

game to defeat the Mustangs 30-6 on Nov. 9.

“Our boys came to play,” said Head

Coach Fred Knip. “Several times in the

last eight minutes they held the Mustangs

inside their own 40 yard line. They did not

give up and they did not give in. Our de-

fense were studs today.”

Richard Jens opened the scoring in the

fi rst quarter with a bootleg run for 30

yards and a 6-0 score.

With three seconds left in the fi rst half,

Jens took his second bootleg run into the

end zone on a 34 yard run. Simon Gray

converted the two points after as the Ex-

plosion took a 14-0 half time lead into the

dressing room.

Halfway through the third quarter, Jens

connected with Gray for a touchdown pass.

Gray then converted the touchdown with

two points, and the Explosion lead 22-0.

On the very next series of plays, the Ed-

monton Mustangs answered back with a 72

yards rush by nimble River Cameron.

Cameron’s touchdown could not be con-

verted and the Explosions led 22-6 going

into the fourth quarter.

After several back and forth possession

trades, Jens ran an outside pitch for 38

yards for a major score. Gray converted

the touchdown and the Explosions led the

Mustangs 30-6.

Jens led all rushers in the game with a

total of 219 yards on 16 possessions. Cam-

eron and Brian MacAndrew led the Mus-

tangs’ rushing with 102 yards and 57 yards

respectively.

The Explosion’s third trip to the Provin-

cial peewee fi nals will be against the Co-

chrane Lions Nov. 16 at Shouldice Park in

Calgary.
