It’s a name that is synonymous with
freshwater fi shing for much of the
northern hemisphere.
Len Thompson spoons are well known
in the angling community.
The Red and Yellow ‘fi ve of diamonds’
design, one of the oldest Len Thompson
designs, is possibly the most famous fi sh-
ing lure in the continent.
“It’s a wonderful thing,” said Richard
(Rick) Pallister, the maternal grandson of
Len Thompson who now owns the factory
(though he leaves much of its operation in
the hands of his son, Brad).
Rick said how it is heartening to hear
so many anglers call Len Thompson lures
their favourite.
Thompson was a farmer from Aberna-
thy, SK. After returning from a bad expe-
rience in the First World War, he received
medical advice to spend a lot of time out-
side and relax.
Rick said Thompson took this to mean
he should spend a lot of time fi shing and
hunting.
After years of trying many different
manufactured lures, Thompson began
experimenting with making his own, con-
vinced he could make something better
than what was commercially available.
He believed that the slow, wobbling ac-
tion of a spoon as it moved through the
water that antagonized fi sh into striking
could be created with a more intricate
combination of shape and weight.
Rick said that the history of the company
is very important to him and one of the rea-
sons Len Thompson lures have not changed
much over the years. He said he would rath-
er continue producing his grandfather’s
old-fashioned, time-tested lures than follow
much of the fashion currently happening
in the world of bait-making.
“I would much rather sell a yellow-red
fi ve of diamonds than a rainbow trout fi sh
skin lure.”
As mentioned, little has changed in the
spoon-making process of Len Thompson’s
lures over the years, but the process is a lit-
tle more industrial than when Thompson
fi rst started experimenting.
The process begins with the spoons be-
ing punched out of a brass coil that Rick
said weighs nearly 300 lb.
The punch press that is used is actually
the same one Thompson bought in 1945.
Rick said it has punched out every Len
Thompson lure to date, a number that is
close to 50 million.
After the spoons are punched out, they
go into an industrial rock tumbler that re-
moves the spoons’ sharp, rough edges.
From there, the spoons enter another
similar process where ball bearings polish
the spoons to make them nice and shiny.
After that, the spoons are dipped in a
clear coat of paint called lacquer. They are
then baked for about half an hour at 300
degrees. Once out of the oven, the under-
side of the spoons are complete.
Rick said the shiny brass undersides of
the lures are very important to their suc-
cess. As they move, wobbling through the
water, the brass creates a fl ash that is eas-
ily visible underwater and attracts the at-
tention of fi sh.
However, the topsides of the spoons still
need to be painted. So, after being removed
from the oven, the lacquered spoons are
placed on racks and painted using an air-
brush and permanent painting masks that
form the trademark designs created by
Len Thompson.
Once painted, the spoons go back in the
oven for a bit of a longer bake, about 50
minutes at around 325 degrees.
No matter how attractive the spoons
look to fi sh, they won’t catch anything
without hooks. So, the next step is to at-
tach the hooks to the spoons, which is done
by hand. Finally, the spoons are sealed into
their packages, UPC codes are attached
and the spoons are placed in boxes for stor-
age and shipping.
Thompson’s fi rst lure, or what is cred-
ited as being such (Rick said he thinks the
real fi rst lure is probably in the bottom of
a lake somewhere), can be seen in a display
case inside the Len Thompson factory.
It was made from metal cut out of a bean
can and hammered into a spoon shape.
Other such early prototypes can be seen in
the factory or in photos of Thompson on
fi shing expeditions.
Once Thompson had decided on a shape
he liked, he fashioned chisels from car
springs to continue shaping the spoons by
hand. Today, all Len Thompson spoons are
based on that same shape.
Lack of useable metal for the making
of fi shing lures during the Second World
War put Thompson’s spoon-making busi-
ness on hold. Rick said that once the war
was over, Thompson decided to get serious
about the production of his spoons.
Shortly after, Rick’s father and Thomp-
son’s son-in-law, Cecil Pallister, got in-
volved with the business as well.
Rick said Cecil handled the production
end of the business while Thompson con-
tinued making the designs.
During this time, the operation became
more professional. They started using pro-
fessionally made dies to punch the spoons
out of metal and used higher quality paint
with permanent painting masks instead of
just slapping paint on with a brush.
In 1958, the family and the business relo-
cated to Lacombe to be closer to suppliers.
Its fi rst factory in Lacombe was located at
5019 51 St. in the same building that now
houses the Lacombe Express.
Now a family company for four gen-
erations, Thompson-Pallister Bait Co.
now manufacture their lures at 5860 Len
Thompson Dr. and continue to be a part of
Lacombe’s rich heritage.

Lacombe needs to grow.
Lacombe City council
candidate Grant Harder
said that Lacombe needs to
grow as a city or it will be
left behind by other com-
munities in the area.
Right now, Lacombe’s
lack of growth in all areas
(residential, industrial and
especially commercial) is a
big concern for Harder, he
said.
He added that Lacombe
is being overtaken in terms
of growth by other commu-
nities in Central Alberta
like Blackfalds and Sylvan
Lake.
“We’re being outpaced
severely,” said Harder.
“My fear is if we don’t
get our act together and
stimulate more growth in
Lacombe we’re going to get
left behind.”
Commercial growth is
one area of special concern
for Harder.
He said that the City
needs to work with busi-
nesses in order to bring
that growth to Lacombe.
“You can make it easier
for businesses to do busi-
ness in Lacombe.”
Harder said that it’s not
enough to do things within
Lacombe’s city limits to
make things easier or more
attractive for businesses.
Lacombe should be ac-
tively seeking out busi-
nesses to come to the City
as well.
“You have to sell La-
combe,” said Harder.
He added that he believes
Lacombe can compete with
other communities for
businesses on a global scale
and should start acting that
way.
He said that if there is
a reason businesses are
bypassing Lacombe when
looking for locations, the
City needs to fi nd out why
that is and adjust its plan
accordingly. Harder went
on to say he would like to
see Lacombe increase its
presence in things like
trade fairs in order to tell
people why they should
come to Lacombe and bring
their businesses to the City.
In addition to support-
ing commercial growth in
Lacombe, Harder said he
would continue to support
Lacombe’s arts commu-
nity should he be elected
to council. Harder stressed
that, while much of his in-
volvement in the commu-
nity has been related to the
arts, it is not the only as-
pect of Lacombe he wishes
to improve as councillor.
“Obviously part of my
personal passion is the
arts and I will continue to
strongly support the arts,”
said Harder, “But that’s
not the only thing I want to
support.”
In fact, Harder said he
does not want to support
any one thing in particular
as councillor.
Instead, he said Lacombe
needs to be a balanced com-
munity.
Harder said he has al-
ways had an interest in lo-
cal politics. He added that,
while it might seem cliché,
Lacombe has been very
good to him and his family
and he sees this as a way
to give back to the commu-
nity.
“It just seems like the
natural thing to do.”
He added that a lot of peo-
ple have encouraged him
to run and so he has fi nally
“Succumbed to the peer
pressure.”
Harder said he consid-
ers himself someone who
is good at long-term plan-
ning. He added that he is
good at seeing the bigger
picture while at the same
time not losing track of the
fi ner details.
Common sense and pru-
dent decision-making are
other traits that Harder
said would make him a
good councillor.
He also mentioned that
he has a tendency to stick
to his guns and will not be a
“political willow” and sim-
ply fl ip-fl op his stance on
important issues based on
what is popular at the time.

Councillor Wayne Rem-
pel wants to make Lacombe
the greatest place to live in
Canada.
Referencing a recent ar-
ticle where Lacombe was
rated the eighth best place
to live in Canada, Rempel
said he is running for coun-
cil once again and hopes to
continue working towards
making Lacombe “Bigger
and better.”
“I’d like Lacombe to go
from the eighth best place
in Canada to live to the
number one best place in
Canada to live.”
Running for his third
term, Rempel said he has
experience with the work-
ings of City council and he
is past the learning stage
that councillors face when
fi rst elected.
“The fi rst term, I’ll be
honest, you just have so
much to learn.”
He added that it takes
almost a full term to be-
come adjusted to the posi-
tion and it is in the second
term when councillors
can really start getting
work done.
Rempel said he has a
proven track record of
making promises and de-
livering on them. He men-
tioned several of council’s
achievements like the skate
park, are projects he cam-
paigned towards and ac-
complishing such goals is
something he plans to con-
tinue doing.
Rempel also said he is ac-
cessible, honest, straight-
forward, listens with an
open mind and will con-
stantly strive to make deci-
sions that are best for the
community.
He fi rst ran for City
council in 2007 because he
saw it as a way to give back
to his community.
Rempel went on to say
that, having children, he
said it was important to
him that Lacombe con-
tinue to be a vibrant com-
munity even with its small
town feel. He added that
belief became even more
important to him after his
children had families of
their own and he became a
grandfather.
Being involved in the
community is important to
Rempel and it is one of the
things he enjoys about be-
ing on City council.
He said the decision mak-
ing process, everything
from researching City of
Lacombe issues, discussing
those issues with people
and the ultimate decision
made by that process is
his favourite part of his in-
volvement with council.
“Those are the things
that really get me excited,
being involved in the deci-
sion to make these things
that we have bigger and
better.”
This term, Rempel said
he would like to focus on
bringing more industrial
and commercial business
to Lacombe.
In addition to attracting
more businesses, Rem-
pel said he wants to help
existing local businesses
as well. He said he would
like to see processes put
in place to help local busi-
nesses succeed in whatev-
er area they wish to excel,
whether that be attracting
more employees, extend-
ing trading area, increas-
ing revenue or anything
else.
“I would like the City to
be more involved in helping
out businesses whatever
their needs are.”
Having owned a busi-
ness in Lacombe for 14
years (Rempel formerly
owned JP’s Pizza), he
knows what problems the
business community of
Lacombe faces.
Rempel added his expe-
rience owning a business
also taught him a great deal
about dealing with people
and about decision-making
- tools he plans to bring to
the table as a councillor as
well.
He said as a business
owner, he made decisions
based on what was best for
the business. As a council-
lor, he plans to do the same
for Lacombe and will make
decisions based on what
is best for the community,
even if those decisions
aren’t the most popular
ones.

Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Lacombe & District have
wrapped up their biggest
recruitment campaign for
another year.
The annual 20 Mentors
in 20 Days is a campaign
of Big Brothers Big Sisters
(BBBS) in conjunction with
National Big Brothers Big
Sisters Month.
As the name suggests,
the goal of the campaign is
to recruit 20 mentors with-
in 20 days in September.
Crystal Zens, executive
director for BBBS of La-
combe & District said that
24 applications were hand-
ed out during the campaign
and about half of them have
already been fi lled out.
She added that 24 appli-
cations is down a bit from
last year’s 38 recruits, but
she is still satisfi ed with the
success of this year’s cam-
paign and also hopes there
will be some more appli-
cants trickling in through-
out October.
“(Last year) was hugely
successful so it’s hard to
top that,” said Zens. “I
think we surpassed our
goal (this year), so we are
still happy with that.”
A number of events
were held during the cam-
paign to raise awareness
within the district. Zens
said BBBS had a presence
at both the Lacombe and
Blackfalds Active Living
Fairs and also attended a
few farmer’s markets in
those communities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
also set up a free lemon-
ade stand on Sept. 13 to
increase awareness and
to promote interest in the
organization among local
businesses. BBBS delivered
homemade apple pies to
Lacombe business during
Random Acts of Recruiting
event on Sept. 24.
With school starting, Big
Brothers Big Sisters has a
greater need for mentors in
September than any other
time of the year. As such,
it is fi tting to hold the cam-
paign, the organizations
biggest push for mentors,
in this month.
Zens said that September
is an important month for
BBBS because it is the start
of its in-school mentorship
program, which currently
has a waitlist with about
12 names. She added that
BBBS tries not to match
students partway through
the year in order to give
students and mentors the
entire length of the school
year to bond and develop a
relationship.
The organization’s in-
school program is a great
way for people to get in-
volved with BBBS with-
out having to make a huge
time commitment. Each
mentor needs to commit
to only one hour a week
during the school day with
the child they are matched
with. This program also
only lasts the length of the
school year, meaning the
summer is free for both
mentor and child.
It is also a great way for
businesses to get involved
in Big Brothers Big Sisters.
By endorsing employees to
mentor children during the
school hours, when many
business are open as well,
businesses too can show
their support for BBBS.
“I think they really set
an example of community
spirit and giving back,”
said Zens.
She added the in-school
mentorship program can
be used to address a num-
ber of different situations
school-aged children might
be faced with.
Whether children are
struggling socially, be-
ing bullied, having par-
ents recently separated or
just needing extra help in
school, they could use an
hour break once a week to
have some fun.
“It’s just to give that
child a positive role model
to bond with. They look
forward to that one hour,
they know their mentor is
coming they are watching
at the door.”
BBBS of Lacombe & Dis-
trict need volunteers for
their traditional program
as well as the in-school pro-
gram. Zens said they having
about 80 volunteers in both
programs combined and
while matching for the in-
school mentorship doesn’t
really happen past Febru-
ary, matching for the tradi-
tional program, which also
has a wait list with about 15
boys, is done year round.
Commitments for the tra-
ditional program are a bit
more demanding as well.
Mentors need to commit to
at least one year, instead of
just the school year, as well
as make a commitment to
spend two to three hours
a week with their matches
instead of just one hour.

Video games are gaining a stron-
ger foothold inside classrooms.
Olds College has introduced a
new requirement to graduate from
the school -- video games.
All students will now be required
to complete a mandatory Discover
Entrepreneurship course, of which
the iPad game Lemonade Stand is a
central part.
In Lemonade Stand, players man-
age their own small business (a lem-
onade stand) and complete modules
of their course by doing so.
Completing modules unlocks
achievements that unlock features
in the game and allow the player to
continue progressing through the
modules of the course.
The idea of playing the simula-
tor is to allow students a chance to
practice skills and gain experience
in a consequence-free environ-
ment.
While some believe that the
course with its heavy-involvement
of a video game should not be man-
datory and there are arguments
using the video in the program will
not necessarily be effective, it can-
not be denied that it will certainly
appeal to another demographic of
learners, something that schools
everywhere need to continue do-
ing.
In my opinion, teachers have long
overlooked the educational poten-
tial of video games. Video games
have existed in classrooms for a
long time, but have never really
been widely accepted as teaching
tools or a mainstream method of in-
struction. Games like Word Munch-
er, Math Blaster and Oregon Trail
are familiar to anyone who was in
primary school in the 90s.
However, I remember that video
games were always used sparingly
in the classroom.
My teachers seemed to prefer
making me write things down over
and over again until I got it right
rather than using a program that
might actually make learning fun
and exciting.
Luckily, (and to the constant
frustration of my mother, who is
a teacher) I spent a lot of my time
outside the classroom playing vid-
eo games as well.
As a kid in the 90s I spent a good
deal of time playing on the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System
and Sega Genesis – the reigning
kings of video game consoles.
Back in those days, there were no
voiceovers in video games.
Even as I got older and the SNES
and Genesis were replaced by the
Nintendo 64 and Sony Playstation,
voiceovers were still kind of a rar-
ity.
When characters spoke to each
other, or when there was a cutscene
to develop the story, you had to
read everything on the screen.
Some games had stories that
were just as complex as video
games today, which made for a lot
of reading.
You can’t tell me that didn’t help
my reading, writing or vocabulary
skills.
Puzzle games are another good
example.
Puzzling has always been a popu-
lar concept in gaming and puzzles
are often used in games that don’t
strictly fi t the puzzle genre as well.
It is believed that puzzles im-
prove memory and problem solv-
ing skills, things that any good
teacher wants students to have.
Mathematics also has a place in
video games.
Many game genres, like my fa-
vourite genre – the RPG (Role Play-
ing Game), require players to earn
and manage money.
Other games, including strategy
games like Age of Empires, require
players to collect and manage re-
sources in order to build up a civi-
lization.
Players must spend resources
to construct buildings and train
units.
Resources usually have a limited
or fi xed supply, forcing players to
budget their resources, much like
they may have to budget their bank
account in the real world.
Schools everywhere are fi nding
it more and more diffi cult to keep
students interested in learning.
As such, teachers everywhere
are continuing to search for new
and innovative ways to deliver
course content.
Video games could be a good way
to keep students of varying ages
interested in their own education.
I am far from suggesting that we
introduce every console into every
classroom and have students play
games all day, they have a place
and time just like everything else.
But, video games are an incredibly
popular hobby that many students
already engage in on a regular ba-
sis. What is wrong with using them
in the classroom a little bit more?
Let it never be said that the peo-
ple have no voice in politics.
While no decision has yet been
made by Lacombe City council,
City administration, after obtain-
ing extensive feedback from the
people of Lacombe, has recom-
mended that council make no
change to the type of garbage bins
used in the City.
An overwhelming 81% of those
surveyed by the City, that’s four
out of fi ve people surveyed, who
currently have a dumpster would
prefer to keep it rather than switch-
ing to a roll-out style bin.
Even those in the pilot projects
who used the roll-out bins, the vast
majority of whom found the bins
to be not at all unmanageable, said
they would rather keep the large,
dumpster-style back-alley bins.
Yes, it would appear that La-
combe’s back-alley dumpsters are
here to stay, at least for now.
Although not the only change
proposed in the original Solid
Waste Roadmap, the decision to
change the type of garbage bins
used was certainly the most con-
troversial. And, when the recom-
mendation was given by adminis-
tration at the Sept. 23 meeting, the
majority of its packed gallery gave
an audible sigh of relief.
Lacombians will have to wait un-
til Oct. 15th to hear a defi nite ‘yay’
or ‘nay’ from council regarding
the recommendation, but several
councillors have already voiced
their support for it.
It just goes to show that speaking
up can make a difference.
Many people say that it is futile to
get involved with politics as a civilian
because speaking up never makes a
difference. Nothing could be further
from the truth and Lacombe’s Solid
Waste Roadmap situation could not
be a better example of that.
Politics only truly work the way
they are supposed to when people
get involved and make their voices
heard.
Councillors who make the deci-
sions that shape communities are
elected to do what is best for those
communities and represent the in-
terest of the people. How can they
know what those interests are if
the people don’t speak up to let
them know?
They can’t.
Council, the people, and City
administration all need to work
together to make the process work.
This is exactly what happened
here in Lacombe. City administra-
tion did their job by engaging the
people of Lacombe and hearing
what they had to say. Citizens of
Lacombe did their duty by speak-
ing up and making their voices
heard.
Now it is up to the Lacombe City
council to do their job too. Council
has heard the recommendations,
seen the stats and now we patiently
await their decision to come in a
few week’s time.
Councillors for the City of La-
combe, this is your chance to do
your duty and truly represent the
people of Lacombe.
When the vote happens on Oct.
15th, do the right thing and make
the decision the citizens of La-
combe clearly want you to make. A
voice this loud is not one that can,
or should be, ignored.
Video games could be the next big teaching tool

BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express
Lacombe has been chosen to deliver a
new program that aims to build commu-
nity leaders.
Becoming a Community Builder is a
program designed by social entrepreneur
Ian Hill. It was beta-tested in Wood Buffalo
last year and will now be made available to
20 other communities in Alberta this year,
Lacombe being one of them.
Kim Berube, executive director for the
Lacombe Chamber of Commerce, started
working to bring the program to Lacombe
after hearing Hill speak. She said she
thought it would be valuable because she
has seen fi rsthand the need for leaders
within Lacombe and Alberta.
“I have seen what the struggles are,”
said Berube. “People moving away, people
coming back, the service organizations’
memberships literally dying out.”
One of Hill’s points that really stuck
with Berube was that the “traditional”
method of building leaders through work
experience, volunteer commitments and
education takes too long, she said.
Not only that, but the old way of grow-
ing leaders is not very popular with many
people today.
According to Hill, it takes seven to 10
years to form a leader using conventional
methods, said Berube.
However, Alberta is in need of leaders
now and can’t wait for up to a decade to get
them.
Berube went on to say that there is a ste-
reotype that today’s young people are lazy
and don’t want to get involved in the com-
munity, something that is often blamed for
the dwindling numbers in many service
clubs today.
However, Berube said she doesn’t agree
with this view. Instead, she agrees with
Hill, who says that it isn’t that young peo-
ple are lazy, it’s that they want to fi nd new
ways of getting engaged in the community.
To solve the problem of building com-
munity leaders and fi nding new ways to
get people engaged in the community, Hill
came up with the Becoming a Community
Builder Program.
Delivered to an unlimited number of res-
idents in Lacombe and Lacombe County,
the 15-week program launches on Oct. 10.
Berube said Hill will come out to La-
combe personally about a week before the
kick-off date of the program to meet par-
ticipants, see the community and get a feel
for who is participating.
Then, the program is delivered online in
weekly releases.
Berube said that the beauty of the pro-
gram being released online means that
participants can work through it at their
own pace, going online every week as the
information is released or logging on once
a month and catching up then.
She added that the information will con-
tinue to be available to participants in La-
combe and Lacombe County in its entirety
even after the 15 weeks time frame has
elapsed.
“Anyone can access it, for free, forever,”
said Berube.
Becoming a Community Builder works
to develop skill-sets that are valuable to
any kind of leaders, said Berube. Things
like communication and delegating are
covered in the program in a way that is ap-
plicable for both professional and informal
leaders.
Becoming a Community Builder is avail-
able to an unlimited number of partici-
pants in Lacombe and Lacombe County.
To register, visit www.register.becominga-
communitybuilder.ca or contact Kim Ber-
ube at 403-782-4300 for more information.

Sod was the material em-
ployed by homesteaders for
their fi rst dwellings and for
the housing of their live-
stock.
The material was provid-
ed by each furrow turned to
prepare land for cropping.
Those who homesteaded
near a reliable source of
timber could construct log
dwellings but lumber was
costly with none available
in Central Alberta until
Tom Cummings developed
his sawmill on the shore of
Gull Lake in 1898.
One early carpenter
mentioned was home-
steader Robert McNaugh-
ton who was engaged circa
1895 by G.A. Reid to build
Lacombe’s fi rst hardware
store from lumber import-
ed by ox-powered wagon
train.
This building, located on
Barnett Ave., was moved by
G.G. Mobley in 1908 to 51
Ave. and 48 St. to serve as
Lacombe’s fi rst hospital.
This same man, George
Gale Mobley, was the pio-
neer carpenter and builder
mentioned most frequently
in the early Lacombe news-
papers.
Then came Timothy Ea-
ton with his mail order
catalogue providing every
necessity for the pioneer
family from horse har-
ness to farm equipment,
from household utensils to
houses.
Mail order houses? Re-
ally?
You’ve got to be kidding!
No.
They were a fact of life in
pioneer days.
If in doubt simply Google
‘Catalogue Houses, Eatons
and others’ by Les Henry.
In this book Henry quotes
from the 1910 Timothy Ea-
ton’s mail order catalogue
“An eight-room house with
a two-story gable-end de-
sign, full veranda and back
porch for $945.”
Included in the pack-
age were the doors and the
hardware required, even
hardwood fl ooring if de-
sired.
Hot water tanks, win-
dows, water pumps for
deep or shallow wells, heat-
ing and plumbing accesso-
ries could also be included.
Every cost was stated
and did not change during
delivery so the buyer knew
exactly what he had to pay.
Purchase was a cash deal
with lumber from various
mills delivered by train to
the town nearest the buyer.
These were not prefab
houses and the lumber was
not pre-cut.
Buyers simply chose a
plan from Eaton’s two dol-
lar plan book -- or could
submit their own plan --
and Eaton’s supplied more
than ample lumber with de-
tailed instruction as to the
construction procedure.
Eaton’s did not pioneer
the concept of mail-order
homes. As documented by
Henry, the earliest Cana-
dian proponent of pre-fab
houses may have been BC-
Mills with headquarters in
Vancouver and New West-
minster.
This fi rm was in opera-
tion before the Trans Can-
ada railroad was opened in
June 1886.
Their catalogue of plans
could well have served as
the prototype for the plan
books that would follow
from Eaton’s and others
including the University of
Saskatchewan, the United
Grain Growers, and the
Western Retail Lumber-
men’s Association. How-
ever, it was Timothy Eaton
who exploited the fi eld of
catalogue houses in west-
ern Canada.
East of the Great Lakes
there was Sovereign
(brothers W.J. and O.E.)
with lumber pre-cut and
labeled ready for assembly
to fi t each plan in their plan
book.
Sovereign was taken
over by the American com-
pany Aladdin in1914 and
thus that year would have
marked the advent of true
pre-fab houses in western
Canada.
However, as documented
by Henry, Sears Roebuck
& Co. was marketing pre-
cut catalogue houses in the
United States by 1908 and
certain design features of
their products did bear a
singular resemblance to
items featured in the cata-
logues available from com-
peting fi rms.
Then, as now, there was
no way to maintain an ab-
solute monopoly on good
ideas.
Aladdin with their true
pre-fab houses (thanks to
the Sovereign take-over)
was the only company to se-
riously challenge Eaton’s.
But times change, and
all of these companies had
faded from the scene by
1970.
Even Eaton’s, once the
undisputed master of the
retail fi eld, bowed to fi nan-
cial duress and terminated
its catalogue.
When viewing ‘elderly’
houses within a commu-
nity it may be tempting to
speculate that similarities
in appearance refl ect cata-
logue ‘ancestry’.
Keep in mind, however,
that such similarities are
more likely to identify a
common builder, an indi-
vidual who understood the
basics involved in erecting
walls and placing a roof
over them.
Nothing complicated was
involved. It was a relatively
simple process for anyone
capable of handling a saw,
square and hammer.
Indeed, such individu-
als were fully capable of
copying design features
that appealed to them, or
designing their own with-
out recourse to actual blue-
prints.
Thus, unless proof is
available in the form of
documents preserved by
the original occupants, the
researcher must rely on
comparisons of the exter-
nal appearance with illus-
trations portrayed in mail-
order catalogues of the
pioneer era.
Even this is fraught with
uncertainty.
Eaton’s, for example, in-
vited prospective custom-
ers to submit sketches of
designs they preferred.
As Henry says in his
book, “The fact that Ea-
ton’s would draft plans
and blueprints for a house
specifi c to an individual
buyer is important when
determining the origin of a
house.”
In Lacombe County, how-
ever, the Ken Atsinger farm
does provide two pristine
examples of the catalogue
house era.
These are the elegant
house erected in 1914 and
the grand barn erected in
1916. Both may be viewed
one-half mile to the north-
west as you top the over-
pass on Hwy. 2A between
Lacombe and Blackfalds.
The house was listed as the
Earlsfi eld #68 in Eaton’s
1912-13 house plan book.
It measured 24’x28’ with
kitchen, pantry, living
room and parlour on the
main fl oor and four bed-
rooms and bath up stairs.
Its distinguishing feature
was the double gambrel
roof design.

genuine catalogue houses

Thompson.

ARTS & LEISUREBY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express
A face recognized and loved by many,
whether they be fans of his show or music,
Fred Penner is a performer who has touched
the hearts of children, parents and other
music lovers across the country.
Developing a strong fan-base with his
television show, Fred Penner’s Place and
continuing to perform long after the series’
end in 1997, Penner said many of the fans
who enjoyed his show in the 90s grew up to
become fans who enjoy his music as adults.
“I’ve been able to follow my audience ba-
sically all of the decades,” said Penner. “I
don’t think many performers are able to do
that.”
Penner’s performance style is also to
credit for having such a broad audience. He
said that his style is very engaging and he
does not talk down to his audience. Instead,
he encourages audience participation and
talks with the audience, something that peo-
ple of any age can relate to.
“Often children’s entertainers feel they
need the sound of their voice and basically
talk down to the child,” said Penner. He
added his style of performing for children
where he talks to the audience and devel-
ops a dialogue to engage them, is something
that is becoming more rare but was common
when he was growing up.
Penner went on to say that his songs have
strong lyrics and good chord progressions.
Essentially, they are good songs and can be
appreciated by any age group. As such, the
songs Penner might play at a children’s or
family concert are the same songs he often
plays for an all-adult audience.
Penner has had a very long and successful
career. He said while many might consider
the height of his career to be while Fred
Penner’s Place was on the air, he has no par-
ticular favourite era.
He said he still enjoys performing now
just as much as he did then and doesn’t care
about the size of the audience that see him,
adding some of his fondest memories are
from shows in small venues.
Penner said the 80s and 90s were a heydey
for children’s performers. He mentioned fel-
low family entertainers Sharon, Lois and
Bram of The Elephant show, saying they,
like himself, were trendsetters in the world
of children’s and family entertainment.
“We were burning up a trail in those cou-
ple decades,” said Penner.
It is the connection made with an audi-
ence that Penner said is his favourite part
of performing. He said, knowing that each
show is different, or not knowing what will
happen at each concert, is exciting for him
and the audience.
“When you are on a stage and you look
out to the audience and they are looking at
you with expectation and with excitement
in their eyes and they are waiting to hear
the fi rst chord, the fi rst song and you never
know where it’s going to go once you get
rolling. But I love performing because of the
feedback that happens between performer
and audience,” said Penner.
Although he was immersed in music from
a very young age, often singing or making
up songs, Penner said it wasn’t until he got
older that he started playing musical instru-
ments. He only dabbled in learning to play
the piano and organ as a child and didn’t
even get his fi rst guitar, the instrument he
is certainly most associated with, until he
was 15.
“I was absorbed in music in my early days,”
said Penner. “Music was always in me.”
Penner said his sister Susan, who had
Down’s Syndrome, was critical in develop-
ing his music career. Susan helped him rec-
ognize the awareness and appreciation of
music in a child’s life, said Penner.
Susan died in 1971 and Penner’s father,
Edward, died a year later. It was around that
time that Penner began to really think about
what he wanted to do with his life.
“I was in my 20s, and those two mortal-
ity checks sort of rocked the foundation of
my world,” said Penner. He decided to fol-
low music as a career path, wanting to do
something for himself that he would enjoy.
“Music was a key to my world,” said Penner.
In the early 70s, Penner started playing
in lounges and bars and anywhere else he
could get a slot. That led Penner to meet his
good friend Al Simmons with whom he per-
formed in a band for many years. In turn,
that led to Penner meeting his future wife,
choreographer Odette Heyn.
It was through working with his wife that
Penner’s career shifted to children’s and
family entertainment. Together, the couple
started a children’s dance theatre company.
Now, after 40 years of making music,
Penner is still going strong and said he plans
to continue his career for as long as possible.
“I want to continue being relative to the
audience, whatever age they are.”
Penner performs tonight in a sold-out show
at St. Andrew’s United Church at 6:30 p.m.

Horoscope
A blue mood is nothing
to worry about, Aries.
It is just your body
telling you that you
may need to slow
down a bit. Take heed
and you’ll recharge
in no time.
Taurus, you are beginning a
contemplative phase of life right now, but you won’t have to sacrifi ce your social life to do
so. Take a few days off from socializing and
then return.
Try to avoid any deep
conversations or
controversial topics
this week, Gemini.
Right now it’s best if
you focus on more
trivial matters and
enjoy yourself.
Cancer, give yourself more time to fi gure
everything out if you are feeling indecisive
about someone. Don’t forge ahead
without feeling entirely comfortable with
the person.
Leo, don’t drop everything you’re
working on to address a developing issue
at home. Others can handle the situation just as well as you,
so keep your focus on preexisting tasks
at hand.
Virgo, listen to friends
and family members
when they encourage
you to try something
new this week. Trust
your instincts, as they
seldom turn you in the
wrong direction.
You have no time for gossip this week, Libra. Your plate is already full at work
and at home, so avoid getting caught up in anything that
compromises your focus.
Scorpio, though it may
feel like others are
fl ying past you while
you’re slowly plodding
along, eventually things
will even out and you’ll
end up where you
need to be.
Create some plausible
plans for the future
this week, Sagittarius.
Keep a journal to help
you keep track of your
ideas and make sense
of your plans.
Capricorn, your generosity fi nds you
devoting much of your time tending to the needs of others
this week. Enjoy your time helping others
and don’t be afraid to accept their gratitude.
Don’t get too hung up
if your week is all work
and little play. While
your schedule might
be hectic in the coming
days, some relaxation
time will arrive this
weekend.
Pisces, make
the most of new
opportunities that
present themselves
this week. The effort
you put in will pay off
in due time.

OPEN FIELD - Kyle Popp breaks away from the pack as he takes off on a long run for the Lacombe Raiders. Brian Vossen/Lacombe Express
Another blowout for the Lacombe Raiders
BY BRIAN VOSSENLacombe Express
Lacombe’s Raiders are on a roll.
On Sept. 21, the Raiders extended their
undefeated season by adding yet another
win to their record when they crushed the
Ponoka Broncs 40-0.
However, Raiders Coach Mike Wood
isn’t too excited. He expressed his concern
that the Raiders may be a little too brash
after such a blowout win and it may come
back to bite them in their upcoming big
game against Stettler.
“To be honest, (I’m) less comfortable
(now),” said Wood. “They’re getting cocky.”
Stettler, like Lacombe, has been win-
ning games by large margins, said Wood.
As such, the team will be the biggest chal-
lenge the Raiders have faced yet.
Wood added that Stettler will come to
Lacombe after having played a challenging
game against Notre Dame, unlike Lacombe
who have breezed through their previous
two games.
Wood said that discipline will be a key
factor for the Raiders in the upcoming
game against Stettler.
“(Stettler is) going to go in off a real big
challenge, where we just have big heads,”
said Wood. He added that the goal for the
coaches this week will be to “Shrink those
heads” and make sure the players are dis-
ciplined enough to play the game they need
to.
While the Raiders’ offence was obviously
very much on form as they were last week-
end, this time it was the defense’s turn to
really shine.
Particularly in the fi rst half of the game,
Lacombe’s defense refused to budge for the
Broncs, at one point not letting them past
their own 20-yard line.
“Our defense played strong,” said Wood.
He said a few adjustments had been made
on defense that allowed the team to play
even stronger. He added that, on the offen-
sive end, the Raiders decided to give their
backups a chance to start and gain some ex-
perience in the game against Ponoka.
“They struggled a little bit, a little slop-
piness and stuff like that, but it was a great
experience for them and they defi nitely
needed it,” said Wood.
Lacombe’s strong defense stems from
the leadership of inside linebacker, James
Wood. The coach added that James is sur-
rounded by a group of really talented play-
ers that, combined with James’ leadership
work well as a unit, forming a strong co-
hesive unit that makes for strong defense.
By the same token, the Raiders’ strength
on offense stems from quarterback David
Muellar who is also surrounded by a group
of talented players.
Lacombe’s offense did their fair share on
Saturday as well.
Despite starting with mostly backups,
the Raiders’ offensive line wasted no time
in getting on the scoreboard and then slow-
ly but surely extended their lead over the
Broncs throughout the rest of the game.
The Raiders next game, the big chal-
lenge against Stettler, will take place at 6
p.m. on Sept. 28 which happens to be Foot-
ball Day in Lacombe.
Football Day in Lacombe is a tradition
that has existed for several years where
each of Lacombe’s minor football teams
plays a game at home.
Darren Gagnon, chair of the Lacombe
Athletic Park Association, said that foot-
ball is a sport where athletes of all differ-
ent skill levels can play together.
Football Day, he said, is a way to recog-
nize that.
“We sort of celebrate all the teams play-
ing,” said Gagnon. “It brings a lot of people
out. It excites the kids.”
Gagnon added that it is good for younger
players to see the older ones play and it en-
courages them to stay involved in the foot-
ball program.
He added that with so many teams play-
ing, there is more traffi c at the fi eld and
therefore larger crows which is also a good
thing.
“Everybody loves playing in front of a
large crowd,” said Gagnon.
