BY ANNA MARIE JUNUSSpecial to the Express
Keeping your money un-
der a mattress, hidden in
a fl oorboard, or tucked
away in a jar was not uncom-
mon for the early settlers of La-
combe, especially with reports of
bank robberies throughout North
America. The Merchants Bank of
Canada, established in Lacombe
in 1901, and the fi rst bank in La-
combe, wanted to change that.
They were conducting business
in a rented room in a school
house and also in the Victoria Ho-
tel. They knew that to convince
people to trust them with their
money they would have to offer
something that the settlers didn’t
have and something better than a
school room and a space in a ho-
tel. Hogle and Davis, a pair of ar-
chitects who had designed other
Merchant Banks, were brought
in and given the shape of the
plot, due to the grid system that
the town had adopted by creat-
ing streets perpendicular to the
railway tracks; they designed the
Flatiron building, fashioned af-
ter the famous Fuller building in
New York City.
The Flatiron, a distinctive
landmark in Lacombe, was built
out of bricks and sandstone in
1904. As an example of Edward-
ian Classical Revivalist architec-
ture, it conveys a more mascu-
line, solid and stable appearance
than the previously popular
Victorian buildings. Narrowing
columns and windows give the
appearance of height. An ornate
scallop-shaped hood over the
doorway, mosaic tile fl oors and
extensive woodwork throughout
the building offered an image of
power and wealth. What better
place than this to store your pre-
cious earnings? And it worked.
People began trusting banks. It’s
no wonder that many fi nancial
institutions built around this
time feature the same neo-classic
styling.
Two years later, the other
buildings on the Flatiron block,
all constructed of wood, burned
to the ground. The Flatiron was
undamaged. Because of this, the
town passed a bylaw that all fu-
ture construction in the down-
town area would be made of brick
and sandstone. As each building
was reconstructed, many not
only used brick, but followed the
Edwardian architecture of the
Flatiron. One could say, that the
reason the downtown core of La-
combe looks the way it does, is
because of fi re. It also provided
a booming business for the local
brickyards.
In 1922, in spite of its impres-
sive appearance, the Merchants
Bank of Canada went bankrupt
and the Bank of Montreal bought
the building and called it home
until 1967 when it was purchased
by Dr. McKibbon who made ex-
tensive changes to the building,
renovating it for medical offi ces.
The front door was lowered to the
ground to enable his patients eas-
ier access. A spiral staircase led
to upper fl oor apartments. The
main fl oor vault was removed to
make room for x-ray equipment,
although the basement vault still
remains. Later he joined forces
with another medical practitio-
ner who had bought the building
next door. They punched a door-
way between the two structures.
Later the building housed oth-
er businesses including an an-
tique store and a photo studio.
It was purchased in 2001 by
local business owners for a re-
ported $165,000. Several hun-
dred thousand dollars more
was poured into the building to
return it to its former appear-
ance. The front entrance was
raised back to where it was. The
inside was gutted and refur-
bished. Doors and windows were
replaced and the exterior was
reconstructed. It was discovered
then that the windows were nar-
rower at the top than at the bot-
tom which required windows to
be specially made.
On May 16, 2003, then Mayor,
Judy Gordon cut the ribbon and
offi cially opened the doors of
the refurbished building. It now
housed the Lacombe & District
Historical Society Interpretive
Centre on the main and basement
fl oors, Tim Horton offi ces on the
second fl oor, and an apartment
on the top fl oor.
In 2008 the Lacombe and Dis-
trict Historical Society closed its
doors to the Flatiron for a brief
time until they were able to ob-
tain funding. In only a matter
of months, the doors were open
again and the Society has been
going strong, offering various dis-
plays throughout the years. Last
year the displays focused on The
Girl Guides of Canada, The La-
combe Police Service, local dairy
farming, a Christmas Village, and
winter sports. This past year the
Flatiron had an exhibit of the
Gull Lake Centennial and is cur-
rently showcasing quilts from lo-
cal artists.
Throughout the years the Flat-
iron has been an important land-
mark in the City of Lacombe. No
building in the City is allowed to
be taller. It was featured in the
2005 movie The Magic of Ordi-
nary Days. It is the older of only
two fl atirons in Alberta; the other
is in Edmonton and known as
the Gibson Block. There are only
nine fl atiron buildings in all of
Canada. Any newspaper or mag-
azine story about Lacombe fea-
tures the Flatiron. The Flatiron
has also been the site of the town
water pump and a red light which
alerted the local police to emer-
gency calls.
With the sound construction of
the Flatiron, residents can expect
to see it standing strong for the
next 100 years.

DATED at Lacombe County in the Province of Alberta, this 24th day of September, 2013.
October 20 - 26th is National Foster Family WeekOn behalf of the Central Alberta Child
and Family Services Authority Board, we
would like to celebrate the foster parents
and caregivers who provide care to chil-
dren and youth in Central Alberta.
Each year we take some time in October
to acknowledge the work of foster parents
and the contributions they make to sup-
port children and youth. National Foster
Family Week provides an opportunity to
celebrate the hundreds of Alberta foster
families who willingly embrace challenges
and support the most vulnerable children
and youth to reach their full potential in
life.
We hold foster parents in high regard
and would like to share a couple of their
comments with you to demonstrate why.
Please read these over and think about the
foster parents you know and the untold
stories. When you read these statements
from foster parents, remember to thank
Central Alberta’s foster parents for their
dedication and commitment to children
and youth in care.
“We have fostered many children over
the years but this child touched our hearts
to make a commitment to adopt. We
couldn’t understand how this child could
be all alone with no one asking for a visit
with child. No child has to face the world
the world all alone. We are happy to say
that this child is no longer alone, we are
now family.”
“Our foster youth may have some chal-
lenges requiring him to receive additional
supports in school and at his part-time job
but our teenager has shown he is capable
of so much more. We are proud to say that
this past year, he has successfully obtained
his driver’s license, purchased a vehicle
with his own savings account and pays for
his own car insurance. When he received
a traffi c ticket from running the red light
he paid it promptly. We let him know how
proud we are of him and his accomplish-
ments.”
These foster families have signifi cantly
impacted the lives of the children in their
care. They are truly amazing and make a
difference in Central Alberta communi-
ties.
For these and the hundreds of ways they
help children and youth, we would like to
thank foster parents during National Fos-
ter Family Week.
Across the country, caregivers are help-
ing young people in foster care build bright
futures by serving as foster parents, re-
spite caregivers, kinship caregivers, adop-
tive parents and private guardians.
More help is needed. If you’re interested
in more information about being a caregiv-
er, call toll free 310-0000, then 403-755-6104
and ask to speak to the Caregiver Recruiter
and gather more information. Information
is also available online at http://fostercar-
ealberta.ca/.
Please join us in recognizing foster par-
ents and caregivers in Central Alberta
communities. We extend our heartfelt
thanks.

Readers encourage input
on roll-out bins issueAfter the public consultation process
undertaken by the City of Lacombe this
summer, the following are the new recom-
mendations made by Administration to the
Council for their consideration:
1. That the current mix of receptacle
types within the community be main-
tained, with new subdivisions receiving
roll-out bins. We understand that this
means where there are now back alley
dumpsters, those will remain; where there
are rollouts, those will remain.
2. a. That Council direct Administration
to implement a curbside blue box recycling
program in all residential areas of the City
on a weekly pickup schedule, and
2. b. That Council direct Administration
to modify the current Wolf Creek Recycle
Depot to allow for single stream recycling,
and
2. c. That Council direct Administration
to restrict the hours of operation at the
Wolf Creek Recycle Depot to Monday to
Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and
2. d. That Council direct Administration
to modify the monthly collection rates for
both commercial and residential service
to refl ect the modifi ed service, by increas-
ing residential collection rates by $2.90 per
month and commercial rates by $1.50 per
month for bi-weekly collection and $3 per
month for weekly collection.
3. That Administration conduct a Re-
quest for Proposal process to retain a third
party contractor to dispose of material col-
lected from the green bins, that Adminis-
tration purchase an additional ten green
bins per year, for fi ve years, and the cost of
these services be funded through a combi-
nation of rate increases and reserve trans-
fers. At this time, only grass clippings,
leaves and garden waste will be allowed in
the green bins.
More detailed information on these rec-
ommendations can be found online at la-
combe.ca in agenda reports, memos 1,2,3
and 4 of the September 15, 2013 meeting
agenda, under Solid Waste Roadmap - Con-
sultation Process.
There are two concerns with these rec-
ommendations -
1. Blue box recycling program
should have pick up in the back alley,
where there are alleys. This was piloted in
the further public consultation process.
2. Wolf Creek Recycle Depot hours
need to extend into the evenings and in-
clude weekends.
If you agree, or disagree, with these rec-
ommendations, Now is the time to let the
Mayor and Council members know your
thoughts. It is planned that these recom-
mendations will be voted on by Council at
the next meeting on Oct. 15 at 5 p.m.
Let’s be there to see how council votes
after a fi ve-month public consultation pro-
cess to refl ect the wishes of Lacombe resi-
dents.

World Alzheimer Day is
important to recognize,
offi cials sayWorld Alzheimer Day has been marked
on Sept. 21 since 1994; and this year’s
theme is a ‘Journey of Caring’.
This theme resonated with us in the
Red Deer and the Central Alberta offi ce
of the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and
NWT because of our daily interactions
with the caregivers, families and friends
of people with dementia.
These are people involved in the jour-
ney through dementia because they care
deeply about someone with the disease.
We recognized the day by hosting a
lovely afternoon at the Kerry Wood Na-
ture Centre on Sept. 20, where attendees
learned about the secrets of caring for
themselves and living well from Dr. Alli-
son Ronda of the Red Deer Wellness Clin-
ic and Carol Foy of Studio Upstairs Yoga
and Wellness.
We extend our grateful thanks to these
two speakers who donated their time
and expertise; everyone went home with
something new to think about and try.
Days like World Alzheimer Day are
important to recognize the signifi cant
strides being made toward increasing
awareness and combating the stigma sur-
rounding dementia.
This year also served as an opportunity
to learn how to live well – with or without
dementia.

Below is the response given to an individual who posed the following questions.
I thought they may be of interest to others in our community . – Grant Creasey
Hi Colleen:Thanks for taking the time to ask about some of ‘the rumors’.
Q)Q) Am I against the City providing any funds to ME Global Athletic Park (LAPA)?AA)) Certainly not. The City Council minutes show I did in fact vote in favor of the additional maintenance of the park to be performed by City crews. LAPA has since declined on the offer of the snow removal portion by the City. I am sure they had good reason to do so and it is certainly their choice. I am in support of all minor sports activities but want City fund allocations to be based on community preference and overall usage, not just because any group is most vocal. We need to realize that our requests far outweigh the ability to provide. Economic realities dictate a realistic prioritization of available funds.
Q)Q) Did I purchase all my election signs from a company in the USA?
A)A) No, not all, but in fact some were. I sourced all the larger signs locally but chose to buy the ‘lawn’ signs elsewhere. As a business owner and resident here
in Lacombe, I prefer to support other local business whenever possible. I am certain this same courtesy is afforded my business as well. In this particular instance I could not do so in good conscience. I was able to source them for $3 each as compared to the $18 each from local sources. This difference was far too large of a premium in my opinion.
Given my past attention to prudent spending of public funds in my role on City Council, it would be Hypocritical of me not to demonstrate nancial responsibility of my own. I would not disrespect all those individuals and businesses that were generous in their support of my campaign by wasting their money in such a manner. I am steadfast in my belief that our tax dollars need to be allocated in such a manner so as to bring the maximum value possible.
Thanks again for your inquiry, I appreciate you taking the time to ask for my thoughts prior to forming an opinion.
Please remember to exercise your democratic right and vote on October 21st.

Week
Fire safety tips for every part of your homeIt’s Fire Prevention Week,
and time to remind homeown-
ers about the dangers of fi re and
how to stay safe.
This year’s theme is Prevent
Kitchen Fires, but there is of
course more than the kitchen to
keep safe from a fi re’s devasta-
tion. The following paragraphs
highlights some useful tips for
keeping your house virtually
‘fi re-safe’.
In the living room, keep an
eye on the fi replace - always use
a fi re screen, ensuring it is the
appropriate size for the fi replace
opening. Also, it’s important to
not overload electrical outlets or
use extension cords in the place
of additional outlets.
Smokers should check fur-
niture for fallen cigarettes or
embers, which can smolder
for hours before bursting into
fl ames.
According to Fire Prevention
Canada, residents should also
ensure careful use of smoking
materials and extinguish them in
water before disposal and never
leave cigarettes in an ashtray un-
attended.
In bedrooms, it’s important to
install at least one smoke alarm
outside each sleeping area. For
improved safety, install a smoke
alarm in every bedroom.
In considering the basement
and attic areas, the Fire Preven-
tion Week web site also recom-
mends folks remove all combus-
tible and fl ammable materials,
and to store gasoline in well-
ventilated areas. Do not store
propane indoors and use only
approved containers to store and
transport gasoline.
And when it comes to furnaces,
it’s vital to have a yearly mainte-
nance check of the furnace car-
ried out by a professional.
When replacing an old fur-
nace, consult a professional to
determine the most safe, eco-
nomical and effi cient system for
your home.
Finally, in the garage remem-
ber that fl ammable materials –
thinners, gasoline, paints, indus-
trial cleaners – should be stored
neatly in approved containers
and away from possible ignitable
sources.
Do not smoke, or leave matches
or lighters in the garage or work-
shop. And it’s also important to
keep the area clean. Remove gar-
bage, paper products, oily rags
and wood shavings.
It’s also important that fami-
lies have an escape plan in the
event of a fi re. According to Fire
Prevention Canada, statistics re-
veal 78% of deaths from fi re oc-
cur in the home, with most fatali-
ties taking place between 2 and 4
a.m., while occupants are asleep.
That is why it is critical to de-
velop an escape plan, because
one needs to react quickly since
with a fi re the smoke is black and
thick, making it impossible to
see. There is also no time for in-
decision; an entire home can be
engulfed within fi ve minutes.
In order to be able to react
quickly, draw a fl oor plan of your
home showing all possible exits
from each room. Where possible,
plan two exits: a main route and
an alternate route from each
room. You should practice your
plan at night as well, getting
down on your hands and knees
with a fl ashlight while crawling
to safety.
Heavy smoke impairs breath-
ing, which is why staying close
to the fl oor increases chances of
escape. And fi nally, designate a
meeting place outside your home
in the event of a fi re.

out Fire Prevention Canada’s
web site.

ANSWER
Horoscope
Aries, avoid making
promises unless
you intend to keep
them. If you cannot
commit your time or
effort, then explain the
situation rather than
backing out later.
Others view you in an
entirely different light
than you view yourself,
Taurus. Consider their
perspectives and keep
an open mind. It might
just help you grow as a
person.
Many ideas are running through your head,
Gemini. But you have to stick with one idea and go with it. Though
this may seem like trying to fi nd a needle
in a haystack, the focus will pay off.
Someone puts all of
their faith in you this
week, Cancer. Don’t be
nervous about living up
to their expectations.
Just operate the way
you always do and
things will work out.
Leo, a number of things keep you
occupied this week. The only diffi culty will be narrowing down exactly what you
want to do. Give this decision the attention it
deserves.
Virgo, no matter how many times you voice your opinion, there seems to be
one person who just doesn’t seem to catch
on to your line of thinking. Accept such differences of opinion.
Libra, sometimes you
put blinders on to
situations that make
you uncomfortable. It
is your way of coping.
But this week you need
to keep your eyes wide
open.
Scorpio, you do not have the patience for puzzles this
week. Encourage coworkers and family
members to be as concise as possible when declaring their
intentions.
Sagittarius, this week
you will have to do a
number of things on
your own. Make the
most of this situation,
as it might just prove
to be a good test of
character.
A change of scenery could provide the
change in perspective you need right now,
Capricorn. The trouble is fi nding the right time
to get away. Plan a weekend trip if you can
manage it.
Aquarius, even though
you may not relish
the role, you often
have to be the voice
of reason. Express
yourself clearly but
take others’ ideas into
consideration as well.
Channel all of your
creative ideas into one
big project, Pisces.
Once you have taken
that initiative, the
project will take off.

EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT CUC
At approximately 11:15 p.m. on Oct. 9, Lacombe Fire responded to a fi re inside a chemistry lab at Canadian University College after an explosion and resulting fi re-ball alerted bystanders to call 9-1-1.
Chief Ed Van Delden said the sprinkler suppression system was functioning when crews arrived and fi re-fi ghters were able to extin-guish the fi re quickly.
While no one was injured in the blaze, fi refi ghters were checked out at the hospital afterwards as a precaution.
Van Delden said that, while the fi refi ghters show-ered down and decontami-nated after extinguishing the fi re, the lab did contain small amounts of several chemi-cal substances that likely re-mained off-gassing on some of the members’ turnout gear afterwards and were inhaled by the members subsequently, causing some breathing diffi culties and eye irritation.
The cause of the fi re is still under investigation but Van Delden said that, as the fi re was in a chemistry lab it is not beyond the realm of pos-sibility that a chemical reac-tion was the cause.
He added that it is likely there were reactions taking
place while fi refi ghters were extinguishing the fi re as well.
Van Delden added assess-ing the damage and cleaning up the lab may take some time as there are still small amounts of chemicals in the lab that could still be causing some damage. However, haz-ardous materials teams were called on from Nova Chemi-cals to make sure the area is safe in the meantime.
TRUCK GOES UP IN FLAMES
Around midnight on Oct. 8, Lacombe Fire Department responded to a vehicle fi re outside a residence in Elana Cresc. in Lacombe. The fi re progressed quickly and the vehicle, a pick-up truck, was fully engulfed by the time fi re crews arrived.
Fire crews worked to ex-tinguish the vehicle and then continued to cool down/ex-tinguish remaining hotspots. Acting Chief Tim Vander Ro-est said the cause of the fi re was unknown and would re-main under investigation.
SHED DESTROYED AFTER FIRE
Shortly after 4 a.m. on Oct. 5, Lacombe Fire depart-ment responded to a struc-ture fi re at a rental property near Sherry’s Restaurant off Hwy. 2A. A shed at the back of the lot had ignited and was fully engulfed in fl ames
by the time fi re crews ar-rived, said Acting Chief Tim Vander Vander Roest.
While the shed was de-stroyed, Vander Roest said fi refi ghters were able to pre-vent the fl ames from spread-ing to a nearby holiday trail-er, although the trailer did suffer some heat damage.Vander Roest said the blaze was likely caused by an elec-tric heater that was inside the shed at the time. He added Blackfalds Fire was contacted for mutual aid but was stood-down when La-combe fi refi ghters had the fi re under control.
INTERNET SCAM ALERTThere has been some re-
ports of an Internet scam in which a ‘pop-up’ window will appear in a browser bearing the RCMP logo and purport-ing the RCMP has locked the computer and a fi ne has been issued.
The RCMP does not issue fi nes in this manner and has no affi liation with this web ‘pop-up’.
WINTER DRIVING PREPWith winter coming, driv-
ers will soon have to deal with winter roads.
As such the Blackfalds RCMP wish to offer the pub-lic a few winter driving tips.
Road conditions can af-fect travel times, give your-self a bit more time than
usual when driving on win-ter roads. Also, keep emer-gency supplies like a blanket, candles, shovel, food, water etc. in case something goes
wrong and you need to make an extended stay in your ve-hicle. Check road conditions before leaving and gauge your speed based on them.
For longer trips, make sure someone knows your desti-nation, when you plan to ar-rive and what route you will be taking.

Seeds of Hope series offered
24 Lacombe Express Thursday, October 10, 2013
BY ERIN FAWCETTLacombe Express
A former Red Deer man is using his struggle with de-
pression to help others.
Bryce Evans founded The One Project in 2010, an online
community of people using photography and other media
to get talking about diffi cult subjects like depression, sui-
cide and bullying.
“We are helping people tell their stories, empower them-
selves and inspire others to do the same,” said Evans, 21.
“It all started out of my own depression as a way for me
to speak up and tell my story. I kept myself silent for so
long, but when I found photography I felt like I found my
voice and a way to talk about what I was going through. I
realized immediately after making it public that it could
not only change my life but help others do the same for
themselves.”
Evans moved to Red Deer from Edmonton in 2007 just
before fi nishing Grade 9, a move that would become a
turning point in his life.
“I consider myself a big city person and took the move
quite hard, which sparked my depression. I was great
at putting on the mask of ‘being fi ne’, so I was stuck in
this state for a long time despite all of the opportunities
around me.
“I grew to enjoy Red Deer much more as I was coming
out of my depression, realizing many of my assumptions
were wrong, but I moved to Vancouver after graduating
from Red Deer College to pursue an art career and get
back to the city.”
The message of The One Project is simple.
“You are the most important project of your life, and
you have a story to tell. A simple action such as speaking
up and telling your story can inspire someone else to get
talking or just get through another day. Not enough people
are talking about these topics and the only way we will
fi nd solutions is through discussion,” said Evans.
Since its inception, The One Project has told stories of
many people, including those in Red Deer and Evans has
also comprised two short fi lms about depression, bullying
and suicide awareness.
As part of a fundraiser held in Red Deer last year, one of
the short fi lms was screened and $800 was raised for Kids
Help Phone as a result.
Evans said he hopes his story will inspire others as well.
“I simply want to allow others the same opportunity
that I had with this project. My life has completely fl ipped
around and I am now working as a professional artist
and happier than I have ever been—simply by making the
decision to talk about my depression,” he said.
“But, this is not me changing people’s lives, it is about
allowing people to empower themselves out of depression
and into a better life. That is where real changes happen.
“I have kept in contact with many people since moving
and I know that mental health and suicide have been con-
tinuing to intensify, so we are working on ways to help re-
duce that in Red Deer with the project.”
As for what’s next, Evans said he has recently fi nished
partnering with LUSH Cosmetics on an international anti-
bullying campaign titled ‘Erase Bullying’, which adapted
an interactive art installation he created for The One Proj-
ect telling the story of Angelika Matson and how she was
brutally bullied throughout school in Red Deer.
“We had an unbelievably positive response with the
Erase Bullying campaign and have had interest to bring it
into schools in Canada and the United States, which was
our plan from the beginning. We will be starting presenta-
tions and providing teaching kits for schools to implement
the concept into their classrooms and schools. It was al-
ways a dream of mine growing up to go back to my schools
and be an inspirational speaker.”
He added they have also been invited to exhibit and pres-
ent at Perugia Social Photo Fest (PSPF) in Italy this No-
vember, representing Canada in the exhibitions. PSPF is
the fi rst of its kind to bring together the top international
organizations, artists, and experts in the fi eld of social and
therapeutic photography and this will be its second year.
“This is a chance for us to raise awareness about depres-
sion on a global level and tell the story of The One Proj-
ect and how it is empowering Canadians to inspire people
from all over the world.
“We recently opened up the project to allow anyone to
submit a story and we are working on more ways to bring
in community-driven content, so it is becoming more ac-
cessible for people all around the world. Photography is
such a universal language, and we are excited to see what
we receive.”
