The Beautiful People: Inspiring our Youth - Part 1

 

Roy Hendrickson:  The Body Builder, Model, Actor, and Dad inspiring his Children

By: Candice Marshall

He is a shy and quiet person, but Roy Hendrickson (Body Builder/Actor/Model), has a presence about him that makes one take notice. His piercing blue eyes capture anyone’s attention, and his articulate conversation skills maintain that connection. These qualities, among many, naturally draw people to Hendrickson making him a positive role model, especially for his children. In fact, his talent for acting has also inspired his oldest son to pursue a career in the same industry. “He chose to quit hockey to pursue a career in acting and one of his first roles was to play a hockey player. It was ironic but interesting!” he smiled.

Albeit an inspiration for his children, Hendrickson maintains his modesty, “I struggle sometimes with my self-image. It’s tough for me to accept a compliment.”

This is hard to believe when you see him at first glance. His striking good looks and gentle demeanor bodes well as the strong, silent type for the modeling contract he’s had with the large Cosmetic Corporation, Elizabeth Arden. (He sported a tuxedo and posed as an ‘escort’ with models during a “live events” promotion for a new perfume campaign!) He has also appeared onscreen as an extra in a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television) two hour special called ‘The War Reporter’ as well as a part in the ‘Blackstone’ series on television’s APTN Network. He has also modeled as a Marvel Comics icon in Darcy Evan’s (Photographer, featured previously in Coaches Corner) most recent creative photo shoot titled, ‘The Evolution of Joker” (see below).

In addition to acting and modeling roles, Hendrickson has also competed in the International Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness (INBF) event at the “Capital City Competition” (held in Sacramento, California, USA, in 2009) coming in fourth place in the Lightweight category. “It was a great experience. I was pretty proud of my accomplishment after it was over, but up until the event, it was a lot of hard work and dedication. I was down to five percent body fat. Not everyone can say they can get their body percentage that low. You have to follow a very strict diet and exercise program,” he said.

Hendrickson’s intense workout regimen began 12 weeks prior to the competition. It consisted of working out five days per week with 45 minutes of weight training and 15-20 minutes of cardiovascular exercises. His day would begin at 6am and finish at 10pm only to get up and repeat the same thing the next day. He credits his physique to a combination of good diet (that consisted of vegetables, egg whites, Isagenix products - supplements & whey protein shakes) and plenty of water.

“If I were to begin training right now, I would give myself about three months to prepare. When I competed at INBF, I was pretty dedicated to my regimen four to seven days of the week. At the time, my children were younger (Hendrickson has three boys), and being a single dad with hockey commitments took away from the focus some of the time. If I compete again, I plan on sticking to being more committed to the program,” he said.

Acting, Modeling and Competitions aside, Hendrickson feels the most importance in his life is his children and encouraging them to attain their dreams and goals. He is actively involved in coaching their hockey practices and games, attending football practices, and activities such as skiing for a family fun day. “I encourage them to stay active and eat healthy, avoid sugary drinks, eat protein after a workout or practice and drink lots of water. What’s important for me is health and happiness. I believe I’ve taught them (by example) a solid foundation for both,” he said.

Way to go Roy! Keep on keeping on!

Color Me Rad: Edmonton Edition – The Raddest (and possibly largest) 5k yet!

 

*UPDATE: April 4th, 2013 - Just received a quick message from Scott Ward (Race Director) that there are TWO official dates for EDMONTON: July 6th & 7th, 2013. The 6th run date is SOLD OUT and the 7th is NEARLY sold out as well! Let's do this Edmonton! This article was written prior to the March 6th, 2013 registration date so we are keeping you in the loop as to what's shaking;) Go to www.colormerad.com to register ASAP!*

By Candice Marshall

What person in their right mind wants to participate in a five kilometer run while getting plastered with paint and puff bombs (made with non-toxic, non-rashing corn starch) of vivacious color every five minutes? Let’s see….approximately 8000 people!!! Yes, that’s right! On July 6^th, 2013, 8,000 participants will be running in Edmonton, Alberta to benefit the Children’s Stollery Hospital at the University of Alberta. This large number of people is a combination of individuals, teams (of families, friends, and businesses), and volunteers.

 

 

Race Participants getting "Color Bombed" during the Color Me Rad 5k race

“Calgary sold out in three days. It was crazy! We expect Edmonton to sell out very quickly as well,” said Scott Ward, Race Director for Color Me Rad (from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA). However, that was his comment only TWO DAYS prior to online registration (March 6^th). Little did he know that Edmontonians were waiting on baited breath for registration to open up! In fact, Edmonton sold out for the race within ONE day!

The Advertisement for the Edmonton Registration date which
sold out in ONE DAY!

Comments on Color Me Rad’s Facebook Page range from the disappointed “Please make more spots! Edmonton will be the biggest Color Me Rad run. Get it on world news!” to the excited “Just signed up, so excited to be Rad with “the serial colors!”. The quick sell out has left many others disappointed that they missed their opportunity to participate. However, Weigh to Goal contacted Scott Ward and asked the question: “We heard a rumor that your company was thinking of hosting TWO run dates for Edmonton. Is that true?”

Here’s what we received back from Ward: “True Indeed!”

Yippee!

So, those wanting to participate (in what is beginning to look like the largest Color Me Rad run yet) in Edmonton, Alberta may just get that opportunity soon enough! Stay tuned!

“The Color Me Rad Company is comprised of three owners: Matt Ward (no relation to Scott), Scott Crandall, and John Nalfatto. (Also from Salt Lake City, Utah) They have been putting on races for approximately 7-10 years now mainly in the west coast of the United States called ‘The Dirty Dash’ (a mud run). They’ve hosted approximately 30 races with that event. They saw the success of The Color Run (began approximately 6 months prior to Color Me Rad), and decided to jump right in (and start a second genre - Color Me Rad 5k),” said Ward.

“The original idea for this race came from a holy festival in India called ‘Festival of Colors’. It has really caught on here. We host these events and a portion of the proceeds go to local charities such as the Children’s Stollery in Edmonton. We come to the city 3 days prior to the event and set up. In that time, approximately 100-150 volunteers help out with everything from handing out registration packets to joining the ‘Bomb Squad’. (must be 14 years or older)”

So what can one on the volunteer ‘Bomb Squad’ expect on race day at the Edmonton Expo Centre? “It’s a lot of fun! We have about five stations set up: three powder and two liquid color stations (with the colors: blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow). The volunteers literally get fistfuls of color to throw at the participants running by. There are multiple people set up at each station too. We recommend that people wear something they don’t mind getting trashed because they will be covered in color by the end of the race,” he laughed.

When asked about his thoughts of comparing the amount of color thrown during the Color Me Rad 5k and The Color Run, Ward said, “It’s like comparing Skittles (Color Me Rad) to chocolate covered M&M’s. Our volunteers get to throw a LOT more color.”

Participants can expect to receive a nice quality t-shirt, RAD tattoo, color packet (for joining in on the fun!) and a pair of sunglasses. “We recommend that people wear the sunglasses to avoid any color getting in their eyes. With that being said, we make sure to tell our volunteers not to aim at the face.  Also, teams are certainly allowed to create their own t-shirts and are encouraged to be creative. Just don’t expect them to look the same by the time the race is through!”

When asked about the Organization, Ward said, “We have two people with the company (in addition to Ward) prepping for the race. During the event there is a team of about seven or eight that contribute to setting up for the big day. (See photo with Ward and his team in Vancouver, BC, Canada, below) It’s a great group of like-minded people just wanting everyone to have a good time. This race is meant to attract people who wouldn’t normally do a run like this. It encourages people to get out and do something healthy for themselves while having fun.”

With 8,000 participants in Edmonton and 10,000 or more expected to run in Calgary, Alberta, one can see why!

Scott, we thank YOU for taking the time to speak with Weigh to Goal (www.facebook.com/WeighToGoal ) and look forward to meeting you and your team in COLOR in July! In the meantime, keep on keeping on Scott!

Darcy Evans: Photo Genius

By: Candice Marshall

People don’t know what pandemonium is until they experience it. The definition of the term is simply this: wild and noisy disorder or confusion; uproar. The latter part of the meaning is it in a nutshell when taking a first glance at the images of award winning photographer Darcy Evans as his artistic vision is generating just that. From “Jokers” past and present locked in a menacing stare-down (Batman fans applaud him! see above) as well as bringing to life the bubbly Archie comic characters we all familiarized ourselves with as children (see below), Evans has caused much discussion (and attraction) to his creative images on his website and Facebook page. The term may seem like an insult when applying it to the born and raised Edmontonian, but upon viewing his portfolio and the broad spectrum of naturally lit images (no Photoshop!) it’s easy to see that the man is a photographic genius and the public is noticing that.

The Doll Story

“The ’My Doll Collection’ photo shoot (Evans Signature creative work) was my favorite. It was one month from the conceptual (planning) stage until the finished product. We began shooting at 6am in the basement of an old building downtown Edmonton, Alberta, and didn’t wrap up until midnight. It was a long day for everyone involved, but Melissa Monz (Model, and ‘doll’, pictured below) totally rocked it and the end result was extraordinary. My favorite type of shoot to do is creatives like this one (fine art photography). I have so many ideas that I would like to try, but it takes time to get a project like this together. Casting (roles) and budget is key. I shoot creatives like this about four times a year for those reasons,” said Evans.

Fitness Photography

This visionary has dabbled in areas of photography including Fitness and Boudoir images that have captured the essence of each subject. “I picked up my first camera about two years ago. My starting point was with a friend of mine, Anastasia Powell (Tattoo Artist and Fitness Enthusiast). She is one of the most beautiful people I know and I wanted to capture her on film. The photo shoot turned out so well that I just continued.” Pleased with the results, Powell referred other professionals within the fitness industry to Evans for their portfolios thus propelling him forward with his career and into the spotlight. “When I posted this photo, I had 600 likes on Facebook alone in one day,” said Evans, referring to his award winning “Bodyscape” image (see below).

The Models body shapes from Evans images range from the sleek physique in his artistic fitness photos, to a softer, genteel approach demonstrated in his boudoir photos. (Images shown below) “I think that a bigger woman who is confident in her body shows through the images. There’s nothing sexier than a woman who has confidence,” he said.

The Fashion Photographer & More

However, his projects don’t stop there. Evans has just finished wrapping up the Spring “Look Book” for up and coming Fashion Designer Trisha Pasnak (from Edmonton, Alberta) and has captured beautiful still-life images of dogs for the 2013 “Rescued Friends” calendar with the Paws in Need Animal Rescue, a volunteer group in Edmonton . “Trisha and I have worked on a few projects together and I really enjoy it. I photographed her spring look book (the designer’s portfolio) prior to fashion week (March 21^st – 28^th). I will have the slide show up on my website before then,” he said. (See photos below)

The Studio

After our interview, Evans gives me the grand tour of his studio, located in the basement of his home. It is there that the artist transforms concrete floor and walls to the backdrops for his images. “Some shoots are done outdoors or on location, but most are done here in my studio. I am just taking down the set from Trisha’s shoot yesterday. I like to build the sets myself,” he said, motioning to the hardwood flooring pieces stacked neatly next to a tripod. It's hard to imagine the amazing scenes displayed on the artists website when looking around at the dismantled backdrop, but the photos speak for themselves: they are truly creative genius.

“I have a lot of ideas for future projects. For instance, I’d like to put together a coffee table book of late 1800’s boudoir images. Currently I am looking for models/paying clients for this initiative. I have the project in my mind of what I’d like to do so it’s in the planning stage at the moment. Primarily, I have been doing pet and fitness photography for clients and truly enjoy doing it. I love photographing animals. However, creatives are what have a passion for!” he said, smiling.

It shows! Keep on keeping on Darcy!

Currently, Evans is on location in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico shooting a wedding for a client and friend. He plans on taking a few days to also gather some images of the surrounding area. Watch for those images at: www.darcyevansphotography.com .

Aside from the projects mentioned in this article, Evans has worked with Sugarkiss Magazine and has won numerous awards such as: Top Marco Photo at the Edmonton Photography Trade Show and honorable mention from the Alberta Photon Camera Club International Expo.

Derek Van Diest: A day in the life of an NHL Sports Writer

NHL Sports Writer for the Edmonton Sun, Derek Van Diest 

By: Candice Marshall

“I like the anonymity. You can walk down the street and no one knows who you are. When you write for a newspaper, your profile is a little more discreet,” said Derek Van Diest, NHL Sports Reporter for the Sun Newspaper in Edmonton, Alberta.

He’s right.

I am sitting at a downtown restaurant waiting for the reporter of the Edmonton Oilers NHL hockey team when I see a tall figure crossing the street. It’s Van Diest. He slips into the restaurant quietly, and walks towards me, arms outstretched for a hug. “So good to see you!” he smiles, sitting across from me. Local patrons seem undisturbed around us, and it isn’t until the interview is underway that they begin to listen in to our conversation. Van Diest’s caliber is not to be dismissed simply because he is a quiet man at the onset of meeting. In fact, with over 1900 Twitter followers, and constant updates throughout each NHL game he covers, Van Diest has earned his spot in the limelight. This man knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the game of hockey.

Van Diest got his break covering the Oilers in San Jose in the 2006 playoff game after a lock out. Prior to that, he had logged in 15-hour days at the Sun freelance writing and web editing. “The reporter at the time had to turn the trip down so I volunteered to go. Over the next few games, Terry Jones, Robin Brownlee, and I worked together. The newspaper loved the synergy between us and kept me on to cover throughout the Stanley Cup playoffs that year. We made it to game seven before losing the Stanley cup final. I loved it!” he said. The following 2006-2007 season, Van Diest became the second NHL Sports Writer for the Edmonton Sun specifically focusing on the Edmonton Oilers. (Coverage is also done by Sun reporter, Rob Tychkowski and columnist Terry Jones)

However, we aren’t talking about the Oilers or covering the latest NHL stats today at our meeting; we are discussing the challenges that Van Diest faces while on the road (and at home) and how he manages his hectic schedule. We wanted a glimpse into “a day in the life” and healthy lifestyle obstacles a sports writer faces for our fans on Weigh to Goal and Van Diest gave me the full guts and glory. “I never feel pressure when I’m writing (and tweeting updates). I love my job. I have the freedom to make the decisions as to what to write about and what to say about the game and the players. I like to be the decision maker. It’s the media’s job to sell the game and report the facts as accurately as we can,” he said.

This doesn’t mean that Van Diest escapes media scrutiny now and then: “People tweet their opinions on my posts all the time and not always are they in agreement to what I’ve put out there. The beauty of sports is that it is subjective; there is no right or wrong. You can’t take it personally. You need to be confident in what you’ve put out there because once you’ve put it out there, it’s out there and you can’t take it back,” he said.

A typical day on the road starts off with a 6am flight (Diest is up by 4am to get to the airport in time) to follow the team (Oilers) to their next game destination. Then it’s from the airport to the arena in time to catch the pre-game practice for both teams. There’s a short 4 hour break (time to write the pre-game stories and send off to the editor), and then it’s back to the arena for 6:30pm for the game. “I’m writing throughout the game, following up with interviews in the dressing room after the game, and then wrapping up a second or third version of the same article to send off to the paper after that. I usually don’t get out of the arena until midnight and it’s up and at it again the next day,” said Van Diest.

So where does he fit in a few Zzz’s when the average night’s sleep is four hours while on the road? “That’s about it. I catch up when I get back home as I don’t have to get up as early. Also, on days where there isn’t a game, getting up at 9am is way too early. I catch up then. I usually exercise in the time frame between the practice and the game. I have to exercise or else I won’t have the energy to do what I do,” he said.

Currently, Van Diest is training for a triathlon that he has competed in for the last few years with his mother Myriam. “I hate the running part!” he laughs, “I can cycle and swim all day long, but running? I just don’t like that part.” His training process will become more intense over the next few months but that hasn’t deterred him in any way, “It’s a nice way to spend some time with my mother and I enjoy doing it,” he said. He added, “Eating on the road also has its ups and downs. You’re always eating on the run so grabbing something quick and convenient is something I have to really watch out for; I try to eat as healthy as possible but sometimes it’s not always easy. I do my best.”

By now, Van Diest is receiving messages for another interview and informs me that he has to leave. Before doing so, he looks out the window for a brief pause, and then turns his gaze to me. “It’s not always glamour and glory. Sometimes the days just blend into each other and I’m so focused on who is playing who and the details that I don’t pay attention if it’s Tuesday or Wednesday. I have my phone with me even on my days off so it’s not always easy taking a weekend to head out on a trip somewhere.” With that said, he maintains that the perks of the job far outweigh the challenges, “I get paid to watch hockey. I get to travel all the time. Like really, it doesn’t get any better than that.”

True enough!

Keep on Keeping on Derek!

Miracle Healer Herbert R. Rosa

Can stumbling across a Holistic Lifestyle approach cure an STD?  

 

 

By: Candice Marshall

“I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it, but he went back to his clinic for a check-up and found out he was clear!”

These are the words of two-year certified Holistic Health Consultant/Coach Herbert R. Rosa of New York, USA. He is speaking of a friend who had contracted a Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) and upon visiting Rosa in New York, began adopting his daily routine of drinking Lemon water with natural salt (as well as consuming Black Seed Oil) simply out of natural curiosity. What Rosa and his friend did not bank on, was that by adopting this Holistic lifestyle, his friend became cured. This was a regular routine for Rosa, but not so much for his friend. In fact, he hadn’t considered a Holistic approach or lifestyle until he spent the time in New York visiting with Rosa. Upon returning home and visiting his clinic, his friend found out he was clear of the disease. (*for confidentiality reasons, we can not specify what disease or whom, however, Herbert can be contacted for further information - see credentials below) “He was shocked, and so was I,” said Rosa, after learning of the miraculous recovery.

But this isn’t something entirely new to the New Yorker who has always had a curiosity for “what works” when it comes to natural healing. In fact, he became interested in Holistic healing (after contracting an allergic skin reaction to an unknown substance) when he was 13 years old. “I became like a detective wanting to know what would work and what wouldn’t for this reaction. I concocted a formula of all natural products (an Aloe based lotion and Vitamin E Oil) to alleviate the reaction and within a week it went away. I didn’t want to be co-dependent on my doctor (not that Rosa has anything against doctors or western medicine), I just wanted to be able to take the (healing) power back into my own hands by discovering where imbalances occur through what I was consuming. This method helped me discover what to use to balance out the reaction,” he said.

Rosa has also worked with a close family member’s child affected with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). According to him, the diagnosis stems from childhood vaccinations. He spoke very succinctly (and highly!) of these children when he said, “I see these children as very special. They are talented and each one has a gift. What needs to be monitored in their diet is the amount of sugar consumption they are taking on a daily basis. The metal mercury in sugar builds up to create imbalances. I have recommended shots of cilantro mixed with orange and carrot juice to make it tastier. It has helped these children become more focused.”

Rosa has helped many people in this method, in fact, on average; he mentors five clients per week. When a client consults with Rosa, they can expect a thorough diagnosis: they begin with an assessment of pinpointing their eating habits (from 5 days prior to their first appointment), what medications they are consuming, stress levels, and (for women) menstrual cycles and how regular they are. From there (and during a three to six month contract), Rosa works with his client to discover where the imbalance has occurred by “pin-pointing what the client was consuming to bring about the undesired result (such as stress, lethargy, etc.)”. In addition, he will go with his clients to the supermarket and recommend healthier options or alternatives. “For example, if people like Italian Cuisine, I will try to help them find other alternatives at restaurants and/or supermarkets with the taste and texture of that type of food to fool their mind (senses) with a healthier option,” said Rosa.

“There are so many healthier alternatives to balance out one’s health through a Holistic approach, “said Rosa, “Did you know that a juice made with Hemp Seed is the closest thing to a mother’s breast milk? Even natural salt is what the body needs to function as it acts as a cleanser and is a main ingredient in our body (PH-sweat). I knew it was a good substance to be consuming, but if I had not heard what it what it did for my friend (help cure his STD), I would never have known its awesome healing properties. It was something that I was already taking and my friend just decided he would try it. As a bonus, he is no longer fatigued and has more energy too!”

In addition to being a Holistic Health Consultant/Coach (Rosa has studied the Holistic approach for 10 years), he has experience leading motivational speeches, Health Workshops, Education with the fundamentals of Meditation (and how it can enhance a better state of mind), AND teaches Yoga!

Keep on keeping on Herbert!
