Rathgeber honoured

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Brent Rathgeber has another feather to put in his cap.

The Edmonton-St. Albert independent MP was honoured by Maclean’s magazine on Tuesday evening as one of its Parliamentarians of the Year. Though he didn’t take the overall honour, Rathgeber was chosen by his peers as the MP who best represents his constituents.

“It’s very humbling and it’s a big honour to be (chosen) by your peers for anything,” Rathgeber said by phone Tuesday. “But given my career, having left the (Conservative) caucus and sitting as an independent, I believe that allows me to better speak on behalf of my constituents; I’m not stuck to defending the government and I’m not limited to talking points. It’s really flattering and honouring to see my peers have recognized that.”

Irwin Cotler, MP for Mount Royal (Que.), was chosen as Parliamentarian of the Year.

Others honoured on Tuesday included:

• Green Party leader Elizabeth May — Best Orator;

• Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Michelle Rempel — Rising Star; and

• Minister of Employment and Social Development Jason Kenney — Hardest Working.

Local student going placesGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

A local student’s business acumen is taking him places — quite literally.

Christian Prefontaine, a Grade 10 student at Paul Kane High School, and three other students from Junior Achievement (JA) of Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories are travelling to Ecuador next week to see how their company, Twisted Pets, stacks up in an international competition against other JA companies from across North America, South America and the Caribbean.

“I’m excited. I’m a bit nervous, but I know we’re going to do well,” said Prefontaine, 15. “I’m definitely excited to try the food and experience the culture as well as to show off our company and to show why we’re there.”

The group behind Twisted Pets is comprised of students from across Edmonton, plus Prefontaine and Marko Ogar, also 15, from St. Albert. They were named the Canadian Chamber of Commerce JACAN Company of the Year earlier this year, earning their ticket to Ecuador, although only four get to make the trip.

During the competition, a winner will be chosen based on presentations that the teams make about their companies, as well as a display at a trade show and a shareholder’s report that has already been submitted.

“It’s a lot of preparation for the trip; we’ve been preparing for a couple of weeks now, and we still have a couple more weeks to prepare,” he said. “But it should be fun.”

Most of the team’s time in

Ecuador will be taken up with the competition, but Prefontaine will have some free time to see the sights and tour around.

While it would be easy to think that Prefontaine simply followed his father’s footsteps into JA — dad Gilles, a St. Albert city councillor, is also on the executive committee for JA of Northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories — he said he wasn’t pushed into it at all, and in fact has found he has a real knack for business.

“From a young age, I was shown what it was about, and I was interested,” he said. “It was my choice; he didn’t force anything.”

Twisted Paws came together earlier this year with the idea of selling durable, eco-friendly toys for both dogs and cats. Their company’s share value jumped from $10 at the beginning of the year to $123 at the end of the year,

and they were even able to get their products stocked at a couple of animal clinics in the area.

“We all got along, and we’re all still friends,” Prefontaine said.

Unfortunately, though, this competition marks the end of the road for Twisted Paws. In 2015, the students will be split up into new groups to start new companies, and they won’t be able to start a pet toy company for another three years.

But Prefontaine is looking forward to the new challenge.

“It’s definitely a great chance to meet more people and make more friends,” he said. “I know this experience will stick with me. There are going to be a lot of experiences, but I don’t think any of them will be quite like this.”

Those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too, aren’t just the sound of the Christmas season starting — they’re also the sound of hope for many less fortunate people in St. Albert.

The St. Albert Salvation Army officially kicked off its annual Christmas Kettle campaign on Wednesday at the Sturgeon Valley Golf and Country Club during the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon meeting, meaning kettles and volunteers ringing bells will soon be popping up in stores and shopping centres across the city.

Local pastor Lt. Peter Kim said the church has set a goal of raising $300,000 this year, which goes to support the many programs they run throughout the year.

“It’s over six weeks that we raise money for the entire year,” Kim said.

He added that the need continues to grow, but the Salvation Army continues to respond by adding new programs and services, especially for youth.

“(The need) is growing because St. Albert is growing. We’re finding that, every day, we’re having to help people who are in trouble,” Kim said. “But on

the flip side, we’re helping create more programs for the community. It’s not just about emergencies and helping people; it’s also about supporting people in the community.”

But they’ll have a little help this year, as the three Scotiabank branches in St. Albert have each pledged to match donations collected from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5, up to $5,000 at each branch.

“That’s huge. (That’s an example for) our business community and how they can contribute to our community,” Kim said. “This way, every dollar can actually go a lot further.”

Paulette Godin-Donovan, manager of business banking at the Citadel Village Scotiabank branch and 2014 secretary for the Chamber of Commerce, said that their involvement is part of their mandate to give back to the community.

“We saw this as a perfect opportunity to (give back), and it’s wonderful,” she said.

Every year, the Salvation Army needs many volunteers to man the kettles, but Kim said they’ve got a good jump start this year.

“We have had amazing people stepping up,” he said. “We have our regular volunteers, but we’ve also branched out to other service clubs and businesses to take

on a day.”While there have been worries in the

past that many kettle volunteers were seniors who wouldn’t be able to help out much longer, Kim said the Salvation Army is working hard to reach out to younger volunteers.

“Most of (the seniors) still do it, and we’re so thankful for that. ... Now we’re hoping the next generation, the younger generation sees that kind of dedication and do it themselves,” he said.

Plus, he said, St. Albertans always seem to come through for them, one way or another.

“Every year, we’ve broken our record and exceeded our goal. It’s just been amazing support from the community. I can’t believe how generous St. Albert is, with volunteering and with donations.”

The St. Albert Salvation Army is also getting ready to open its Christmas Toy Centre for another year, giving struggling families the chance to preserve their dignity and choose toys for their children.

The Christmas Toy Centre will be open from Dec. 8 to 19, but families must schedule an appointment to take part by calling 780-458-1937. Donations will be accepted at the St. Albert Walmart location starting next month.

A local couple’s generosity benefitting a large number of community groups and not-for-profit organizations has netted them an award from the City of St. Albert.

On Saturday, Nov. 15 — which was World Philanthropy Day — the City announced that Doug and Barb Ritzen were the recipients of the 2014 Philanthropists of the Year award, which is given out every year to St. Albertans who have made significant personal contributions to help make the city a better place.

“The City of St. Albert is fortunate to have such generous and caring residents,” said Mayor Nolan Crouse in a press release. “The Ritzens embody the spirit of giving we want to cultivate in our community and are worthy recipients of this honour.”

Among the many beneficiaries of the Ritzens’ generosity are the St. Albert Grain Elevator Park, the Servus Credit Union Place

Capital Campaign, the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village, public art and sports programs, and numerous charities, foundations, societies and programs throughout the city.

Doug Ritzen is currently a corporate and commercial lawyer practicing in downtown St. Albert, having earned his law degree from the University of Alberta in 1983. In the past, he served as an alderman from 2001 to 2004, volunteer president of the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce, president of the St. Albert Breakfast Lions Club and president of the St. Albert chapter of the Canadian Progress Club.

The Philanthropist of the Year award has been given out every year since 2009. Past recipients include Dan Roy (2009); Ash Khan (2010); the Hutchinson family, owners of Daytona Homes (2011); the Jenkins family, owners of several local Tim Hortons franchises (2012); and Ron Hodgson, owner of Ron Hodgson Chevrolet Buick GMC (2013).

City council voted on a motion that would see an assessment on the implications of incorporating

SMART City initiatives brought back to council. SMART City initiatives

use new technologies and data analytics to help city residents enjoy exciting lifestyle benefits, economic

opportunities, and a safe and healthy environment.


City council voted to award grants from the Significant Events

Stimulus Fund to Night of the Artists, Eek! Comic & Pop

Culture Fest, and Seven Music Fest for a total of $98,397

based on the recommendation from the Economic Development

Advisory Board.

“It was our hope that we would have this assessment done before the spring or summer and before we approach the developers so that they can include our initiatives into their plans.”

— Coun. Gilles Prefontaine

Grants for the three events will be awarded with funds from the Significant Events

Stimulus Fund.

The Chair of the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts

jury shall appoint a jury of community members to act

as a selection committee with the intention of having the Cultural Wall of Fame

implemented by 2016.

Work to include SMART City initiatives, such

as LED lighting in new neighbourhoods, in the City’s Engineering Design Principles

and work will begin on the new initiatives starting in the

second quarter in 2015.


“We consulted with the public and we compared our program to programs from other communities and against the Community Recognition Program and the Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts to avoid duplication while having a consistent approach to recognition.”

– Kelly Jerrott, Director of Cultural Services

“There were two applicants who did not meet the criteria because they did not meet the minimum request for $5,000 or 30 per cent of their budget needed to qualify... I offered to work with both applicants so their events will meet the criteria next year.”

— Joan Barber, Manager, Business Retention and Expansion

Council voted to authorize administration to purchase four LifePac 15 monitor/defibrillators

from Physio-Control, in accordance to the service

level change for medical first responders that was approved by

council on Sept. 15.

Administration will spend a total of $115,561 on the four LifePac 15 monitor/defibrillators, which will

then raise the service level for medical first responders

in St. Albert.

“It was prudent of administration to come up with a policy on this. We have guidelines and boundaries for who gets recognized on the Wall of Fame.”

— Coun. Cathy Heron

“It is a source of pride that we have this to grow in our community... I’m very proud to see the continuation and growth of these events.”


“The [Lifepac 15] is identical to the ones used currently on ambulances. It is critical to be consistent because it increases the service level provided by first responders while minimizing costs for training.”

– Ray Richards, Fire Chief

“The money is in the budget and we are getting the [Lifepac 15s] at wholesale, which is good for the city.”

— Coun. Cathy Heron

“From what I understand, many of these initiatives are already going on. We’re implementing a standard that works for everybody. It’s better to be ahead of it than be behind it.”


“What this motion is looking to do is examine the engineering standards and deciding if these initiatives can be included in our standards.”

— Patrick Draper, City Manager

“People look for a variety of different festivals that go on in a city and I’m very happy to see a good variety of events coming through.”

— Coun. Sheena Hughes


Food bank celebrates 30thGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

While the fact St. Albertans still need help from a food bank isn’t exactly cause for celebration, the hard work done by volunteers over the past 30 years at the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village certainly is.

The Food Bank is hosting a 30th anniversary celebration at their Bellerose Drive facility on Thursday, Nov. 27, from 1 to 5 p.m., and executive director Suzan Krecsy is inviting all volunteers past and present to toast how far they’ve come over the past three decades.

“We’re really excited to be celebrating all the support from the community and the volunteers,” Krecsy said.

“What I’m absolutely thrilled about is going back 30 years and the foresight and the compassion of the folks that identified this need and went ahead and did it,” she added.

During the celebration, folks can just pop into the food bank’s

facilities to enjoy a bite to eat, as well as see some photos on display from the past 30 years.

Those photos show just how far the organization has come, and that evolution is something Krecsy is extremely proud of.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am of this organization and the board that has been so supportive with this pretty giant leap of faith we made when we moved in and started the Community Village,” she said. “That incredible foresight and incredible support — those who sit on the board, the clients’ best interests are always foremost to them.”

The St. Albert Food Bank traces its roots back to the St. Albert Catholic Parish’s food crisis centre, operating out of the church’s basement. It officially became a food bank in 1984.

Part of the organization’s evolution in recent years is the Cultural Kitchen program, which has been a huge hit and has introduced people to cuisine from all over the world, including

Vietnam, Mexico, Syria, Lebanon and Sri Lanka.

“It’s been phenomenal — we’ve had over 20 countries come in and share their cooking with us,” Krecsy said. “... It’s just incredible. We’ve met such great people.”

While almost every food bank worker wants to work themselves out of a job, Krecsy knows that’s not likely to happen in the next 30 years. Instead, she wants to see the food bank part of the operation take a backseat to the community village.

“Our goal is to have the food bank as one of the community village programs,” Krecsy said. “We want to reduce the number of folks that are coming in by taking part in our prevention programming with our partners. It will always be there for the little bit of crisis intervention, but the emphasis will be on prevention, education and awareness.”

The St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village is located at #30, 50 Bellerose Dr. For more information, visit www.stalbertfb.com.

After running restaurants in Edmonton,

Vancouver, Slave Lake and currently St. Albert, I have seen both ends of spectrum when it comes to business environments. In the larger cities, I was in a race to be first: first to come up with an idea or promotion; first to break through in the market; first on the minds of cash-spending patrons. In the small town, I was in a struggle to fit in; I dealt with other restaurateurs forbidding their staff from visiting my spot, and I was in a competition of “who can do it better?” — the idea being, “If you have burgers, then we’ll have burgers and pizza and steak,” and the only place with just burgers had golden arches in the parking lot.

After my first year in

downtown St. Albert, I realize that this is a city with a mix of both small town and big city with a good blend of co-operation and competition. That’s not to say that I haven’t faced my fair share of adversity and conflicts of philosophy. One of the pressing issues that I feel have a direct impact on not only my restaurants but all the other independent restaurants in the area is the mobile vendor initiative that aims to help put forth new regulations allowing food trucks to operate on City of St. Albert property, more specifically in the Perron District. The other issue is the

Internet.As a food lover and

supporter of local restaurants, I am saddened when I walk the Perron District and look into restaurants with empty seats. Are there enough patrons to not only support these current restaurants but new mobile vendors? Those vendors don’t have the restraints of long-term leases, street visibility or low seasons — they can just move locations if sales are dropping. On a slow day, I would love to be able to up and move my restaurant to a higher traffic location or to an event site, but I do not have that advantage.

“Shop local” is a term that is thrown around quite often in St. Albert; however, that does not stop anyone from going online and blasting restaurants for bad food, poor décor decisions or sub-par

service. What these keyboard warriors do not realize is how detrimental those online remarks on Facebook, Yelp or Tripadvisor can be to a small business. People should feel free to share poor experiences with those capable of changing them instead of stopping potential guests from supporting them.

I am blessed to have started two well-received restaurants in downtown St. Albert and will tell anyone who will listen the growth I see happening in the near future. I would encourage decision makers and the residents of St. Albert to go out and support local businesses, not to present any more disadvantages and have some empathy for these businesses, because behind them are just people trying to support their families.

Have some empathy for local restaurateurs

Along for the ride

Jim Prentice may want Alberta and its economy to get off the royalty rollercoaster, but the safety bar has

clicked into place, and it’s not releasing anytime soon.

Prentice delivered his first speech from the throne on Monday afternoon, laying out his government’s priorities for the upcoming session of the Alberta Legislature. He said in part: “[A] budget tied to volatile energy prices imperils our fiscal resilience over the long term. We must align spending with a realistic assessment of the financial capacity we can sustain responsibly, without risking the prosperity of our children and grandchildren.”

It’s a nice thought, but reducing Alberta’s dependence on oil revenues is far easier said than done. The prosperity of our province has been intrinsically tied to the price of a barrel of oil for so long now, and untying that knot would be a far more painful process than Prentice, any of his cabinet or any Albertan possibly could fathom.

What’s more, Prentice’s remarks are a refrain that we as Albertans have heard so many times before from previous premiers. There has been a lot of talk of value-added industries over the past decade, of taking the oil that comes out of the ground in Alberta and processing it here rather than shipping it off elsewhere. But that’s all we have so far: talk. Look at the much-ballyhooed upgrader that is supposed to have the capacity to process 150,000 barrels a day in Sturgeon County when it’s fully built. Currently, though, there’s no oil flowing through it, and there won’t be until September 2017 at the earliest. And even then, it will only be operating at one-third of the aforementioned capacity until further stages and financed and built.

Prentice isn’t the one who got us into this mess — the blame for that lies squarely with past governments that didn’t diversify the economy enough and didn’t charge oil conglomerates enough for royalties — nor is he, in all likelihood, the one to get us out of it. And while any attempts to get us off the rollercoaster will be appreciated, he’d better also hang on, because this has the potential to be a rather bumpy ride.

If you’re still looking to get your farmers’ market fix this winter, the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce has you covered.

The Chamber kicks off its annual indoor farmers’ market on Nov. 29, running each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for four weeks in the warm confines of the lobby of St. Albert Place.

Chamber president and CEO Lynda Moffat said they’re excited to bring back the indoor market for another year.

“This time of the year, people just love to come back to the market,” she said.

The indoor market houses about 60 vendors, including many favourites from the outdoor market that runs along St. Anne and St. Thomas Streets from June to October every year.

“Usually around this time of year, when people are coming to shop for Christmas gifts and things, then we try to have a lot more of the jewelry, crafts and baking that people love for the holidays,” Moffat

said.While some of the vendors

are specifically geared toward Christmas, though, not all are.

“Maybe you’re making a special dinner for your family or your guests,” Moffat said. “It’s just a good market.”

Like the outdoor market, though, the Chamber sees it as an important way to attract people into the downtown core and discover some of the other businesses that call the Perron District home.

“It’s always our intention — always — to bring people into the

downtown Perron District, because we have some wonderful little retailers down there that need our help,” she said.

The indoor market has run longer in past years, but Moffat said this time of year was when turnout always picked up anyway.

And while there’s no room in St. Albert Place to expand the number of vendors, Moffat hopes the number of customers continues to grow.

“Every inch they’ll give us, we take,” she said. “(The indoor market) used to start right when the outdoor market ended, right after Thanksgiving, and it went right through to Christmas. But actually have more people coming out now — we only have it for four weeks, and we get more people coming out for those four weeks. We found in other years that it didn’t really pick up until this time of year. ... It’s very concentrated and people know it’s there. That’s the thing about St. Albert; if there’s anything they love, it’s a farmers’ market.”

For more information on the indoor farmers’ market, visit www.stalbertfarmersmarket.com.

The Métis flag will be on display for the week as deputy mayor Cathy Heron declared Nov. 17 to 22 Métis Week in St. Albert. The proclamation and flag-raising was attended by students from Sir George Simpson Junior High School and officials from the Musée Heritage Museum and the Michif Cultural Resources Institute.

SAMHA looking to stretch online funding votes into dollarsGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The St. Albert Minor Hockey Association is hoping to stretch its fundraising efforts even further thanks to a nationwide competition.

SAMHA’s “Room to Stretch” project — which would see the installation of warm-up areas for hockey players in the Akinsdale and Kinex arenas — is through to the third round of voting in the latest iteration of the Aviva Community Fund, with the semifinalists to be determined on Monday.

SAMHA president Dave Bell said the project is badly needed.

“There just isn’t room, and the City — rightfully so — doesn’t want players running up and down the stands,” he said. “We desperately need someplace for the players to warm up that is

safe not only for themselves, but for spectators and everybody alike.”

Hockey Canada’s long-term development and safety program suggests that players — especially those

at the atom age level and up — stretch and warm up for 10 to 15 minutes prior to a game to raise body temperature, loosen up muscles and prevent injuries. Currently, though, there is little space to do so in Servus Credit Union Place, and none in Akinsdale and Kinex

arenas.“The dressing rooms aren’t large

enough for them to even do the stretching in the dressing rooms,” Bell said.

The project would convert a room between the two rinks that is currently used to store equipment and to host meetings into a shared warmup space.

The Aviva Community Fund is administered by Aviva Insurance, and awards a minimum of $5,000 to

deserving community projects across Canada.

So far, Bell said the response has been good on the fund’s website.

“Not too bad,” he said. “Of course, we’d like more.”

SAMHA also plans to use some of the $25,000 they won as part of this year’s Kraft Hockeyville competition toward the project, and they will apply for grants from the City of St. Albert and the provincial government.

SAMHA has also completed a feasibility study in partnership with the City, and is about to send a survey about the project out to members in the next week or two.

They hope to have the project completed in time for the start of the 2015-2016 hockey season.

“We desperately need someplace for the players to warm up that is safe.”

Dave Bell, SAMHA president

Book gives voice to soldiers who served in Afghanistan

TREVOR ROBBSun Media News Services

It’s a book 13 years in the making.

Afghanistan: A Canadian Story is a compilation book recounting stories told by Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members — over 150 men and women from the army, navy, air force, RCMP and military police — who served during the Afghanistan War.

Melanie Graham is a retired naval public affairs officer and co-founder and editor of the book. For the past four years, she and her team of volunteers, including fellow editor and active CAF public affairs officer, Capt. Susan Magill, have been accumulating stories and pictures for the book.

In the beginning, Graham admits getting soldiers to share their stories was “almost like pulling teeth,” but over time the number of stories coming in went from a “trickle to a flood,” to the point where they had to increase the size of the book from 200 to 300 pages.

“This book is unique in that it gives you that real patchwork-quilt view, and very diverse range of perspectives on the mission in

Afghanistan,” said Graham. “We have a few stories that are a little bit dark and angry but they still took pride in their service — they may not like the condition of their service but they took pride in what they did. It was quite a range of emotions that were involved in putting together a project like this.”

Ultimately, Graham hopes the book will help to humanize Canadian soldiers in the eyes of Canadians.

“Canadians don’t really know their military as people. One day out of the year, everybody turns out to Lest We Forget to remember our military, but for the rest of the year, their military

are strangers — they’re faceless, nameless folks in uniform,” said Graham. “They’re ordinary people, just like your neighbours, who have chosen to do extraordinary things for Canada. In my books, that makes them everyday heroes, and Canadians need to know them as people.”

All the proceeds from book sales will be going towards the Edmonton Military Family Resources Centre and distributed to other military support services including the Boomers Legacy Foundation, the Military Families Fund, and the Soldier On Fund.

It’s a cause worthy of support, admits Graham, but one she wishes didn’t require such support from the public.

“It’s unfortunate that we have to have military charities, it’s unfortunate that the government doesn’t offer the kind of support that it should to our veterans and our military,” said Graham.

A public launch will be held Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the Edmonton Garrison Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC). Books will be on sale at the launch party but can also be found at various Chapters and Indigo locations.

Oil Kings ready for annual Teddy TossTREVOR ROBBSun Media News Services

Imagine this: you’re playing a hockey game, not unlike any other, and you can sense your team is pushing for that all important first goal of the game.

Finally, it happens — top shelf, where momma hides the cookie jar — and in an instant, thousands upon thousands of stuffed teddy bears descend from the rafters, bouncing off your helmet and blanketing the ice.

Sound strange? Not if you live in Oil Country, where for the past seven years the Edmonton Oil Kings have partnered up with Santas Anonymous for the annual Teddy Bear Toss game — when fans buy and throw stuffed teddy bears onto the ice following the first home goal scored in support of the local Christmas charity.

“It’s a very special night for our team. Giving back to less fortunate families in Edmonton is always something our team takes pride in,” said Oil Kings captain Ashton Sautner, who on Saturday was joined by fellow teammates at Santas Anonymous headquarters at 12345 121 St. in Edmonton to officially launch the Teddy Bear Toss campaign.

“To be part of it on the ice, it’s kind of a duck-and-cover situation, but overall it’s a great experience for us and for the fans too.”

Sautner admits to some internal competition amongst teammates who are eager to score the first goal of the game, triggering the onslaught of stuffed bears. In the past few years, players like Mitch Moroz, Edgars Kulda and Dyson

Mayo last year, have had the honour of bulging the twine first.

“Personally, I want to get it this year,” said Sautner. “There’s always some joking around the room before the game about who’s going to get it and what we’re going to do for your celebration. But once we get it, everyone is just excited to get it.”

Over the past seven seasons, a total of 37,727 bears have been tossed and donated to Santas Anonymous.

Last year saw more teddy bears thrown than those who were actually in attendance, with 10,058 fans tossing 10,128 bears.

“It was absolutely phenomenal,” said Santas Anonymous executive

director Lana Nordlund. “When it ended up being more bears than the attendance, that was really special. And then the bears came right back here at the depot so we could take them out of the bags and make sure they were ready to go into gifts.”

Teddy bears will be sold at Rexall Place with the proceeds

going towards the Rainbow Society of Alberta.

The 2014 Teddy Bear Toss goes Saturday, Dec. 6, when the defending Memorial Cup champion Oil Kings take on the Moose Jaw Warriors at 7 p.m. at Rexall Place. Tickets are available at oilkings.ca or at the Rexall Place box office.

Protect your home when traveling this holiday seasonMany families travel during the holiday season,

when gatherings with family and friends requireindividuals to pack up their vehicles and hit the openroad to reconnect with loved ones. Such get-togethersare great ways to make an already festive season evenmore joyous, but being away for extended periods oftime may leave your home vulnerable to criminals.Alarm systems and neighborhood watch programs

can provide some peace of mind to homeowners, butthere are additional ways to protect your home whentraveling this holiday season.

• Use timers to make it appear as though youare home. Entertainment systems and even certainhome lighting products allow homeowners to make itseem as though they are home even when they aren’t.Criminals are likely to be deterred from burglarizinghomes that are well-lit, and noise inside the home cangive burglars the impression that someone is inside.Use the timing device on your entertainment orsound system to play music at night, and make surelights come on at the same time and stay on until thetime you would ordinarily go to bed.

• Don’t allow mail to stockpile in your mailbox.A telltale sign that no one is home is mail that beginsto stockpile in a mailbox. A mailbox overf lowingwith mail indicates to burglars that you’re not homeand also makes you vulnerable to potential identitythieves looking to peruse your mailbox for sensitiveinformation. Whether you suspend mail deliverywhile you’re away or ask a neighbor to pick up yourmail each day, make sure letters are not allowed toaccumulate in your mailbox while you are out oftown.

• Install motion detecting lights around yourproperty. Families who routinely leave home forextended periods of time should install motion-detection devices around their properties. Suchdevices will immediately illuminate yards or areas

around the home whenmovement is detectedwithin their range.Lights f lashing in thedark of night can deterburglars and may evenearn homeownersdiscounts on theirinsurance policies.

• Be cautious withsocial media. Today’scriminals are tech-savvy, and some mayturn to social mediato look for potentialvictims. When leavinghome for an extendedholiday vacation, donot broadcast yourplans on social mediaplatforms like Facebookand Twitter. Thoughyou might be temptedto post photos of youand your family hittingthe ski slopes or sittingpoolside with grandmaand grandpa, waituntil you return fromyour trip to share suchphotos.

• Hire a snow removalservice before leavingyour home. Families who live in areas that are proneto heavy snowfall should hire a snow removal servicebefore leaving. A driveway buried in snow for severaldays is another telltale sign that no one is home, somake sure you hire a someone to remove snow from

your driveway even when you are not home.Travel is commonplace during the holiday season.

Homeowners must take steps to protect their homeswhile they are away on vacation or visiting familyand friends.

ENTERTAINMENT


Hip hop dance has a new home in the Capital Region, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from St. Albert.

Earlier this month, Edmonton’s premiere hip hop dance studio, 3rd Street Beat, opened its new Creative Youth Centre in a new complex at 156 Street and 137 Avenue, just minutes away from St. Albert. There, dancers have more than 7,000 square feet of space — 1,300 of which are in the main studio alone — to practice their skills.

“It’s been crazy. There’s been such excitement from when we first came in,” said 3rd Street Beat co-founder and creative director Luke Geldert. “There are probably a little over 300 students in total who have come into this place and have been looking forward to getting into a new location for the better part of a year. So coming in and it feeling so different, seeing a nice studio space with good floors and air conditioning, everyone is super stoked. We’re still on cloud nine.”

Aside from the new location, 3rd Street Beat has long had strong ties with St. Albert, with numerous dancers and instructors hailing from the city, and dancers performing at the 2013 edition of the International Children’s Festival. And Geldert is already

seeing even more interest from St. Albert thanks to the new location.

“(St. Albert) is such a great community of people, such a tight-knit group,” Geldert said. “And (the new facility) being right off the Henday like that, there’s open access to everyone. It’s really easy to get to. And it’s close to a lot of things that people like ... it just made sense. When we walked in, it felt like home.”

But it’s not just home for dancers. The Creative Youth Centre opens its doors one day a week to any artistic or performance group — from dance crews and musicians to singers and painters — in need of space to rehearse or showcase their creativity.

“We wanted to have this space be a community space, and by having a community day, it’s our way of giving back to the city and giving back to the artists,” Geldert said. “We’re letting them know we have good space, and we’re willing to give it to you — if not free, then for very cheap.”

The CYC is operated by the Youth Giving Back (YGB) Foundation, which is sponsored by

3rd Street Beat. Groups can apply to the YGB Foundation to use the space as much as they need.

The space features 30-foot ceilings, comfortable seating areas for parents to relax and watch, study areas for dancers to take advantage of between classes, a healthy snack bar, a massage room and murals painted on the walls by local artist Gabrielle Bujold.

“All of our families pitched in. We had volunteers — all our teachers pitched in. Everyone put in dozens to hundreds of hours of their free time. This is truly a community

effort,” Geldert said. “This place came together because of good people’s desire to make something good in this area. They wanted to better the lives of youth and make this place something worth bragging about.”

Prior to opening the CYC, 3rd Street Beat was conducting classes out of four different studios around the Capital Region, which Geldert said led to a “disconnected” feeling at times.

“Now that we actually have this place, a lot of kids are meeting

each other for the first time. For the first time, we are actually coming together as one whole unit,” he said.

He added that they’ve been trying to find a space like this for years, almost pulling the trigger on about half a dozen different locations before finding exactly what they were looking for.

“There was always something that wasn’t quite right. Every time, it didn’t click,” he said. “And then we found this place and everything fit perfectly.

Since it was founded in 2001 by Geldert and Mark Ward, 3rd Street Beat has garnered a reputation as the leading hip hop dance studio in the Capital Region, something Geldert is extremely proud of.

“That’s one of the greatest feelings one can have, to feel like they have a legacy or they have something that transcends themselves, their lifetime, and that people think of in a positive light,” he said. “To have people think of 3rd Street Beat and equate it to something positive and something high-quality, that means the world to me.”

Aside from hip hop, though, 3rd Street Beat also offers classes in many classical technical dance styles, including tap, ballet, jazz and contemporary.

Broadway comes to St. Albert as Christmas Story writers give concert and master vocal classes

BENJ PASEK & JUSTIN PAULchats with...

Photo supplied

“That was the ... burden that

we felt, to not ruin people’s

memories of this movie.”

You guys are coming toYou guys are coming to see the production on thestage and what St. AlbertChildren’s Theatre is doingwith it. Is that something you have the chance to dovery often?

JP: We’ve been pretty involvedwith the show over the last few years that it’s been on tour and in New York. But going and seeing other productions done by other companies in othertheatres is not something we typically get a chance to do. So this is really special because we’ll get to see it there, and

y that’s not something we typicallyhave the time or opportunity todododododdo.. . . ItIt’ll be a real treat.

Benj Pasek and Justin Paul are the writers behind such musicals as Edges, Dogfight, James and the Giant Peach, as well as the music for the TV show Smash. They also wrote the musical version of A Christmas Story, which was an instant hit when it debuted on Broadway in 2012 and will be put on by the St. Albert Children’s Theatre starting Nov. 27 at the Arden Theatre. Pasek and Paul will be in St. Albert on Dec. 5 and 6 to see the play, to put on a concert of their work at the Arden, and to conduct a pair of master vocal classes for aspiring musical theatre stars.

Were yyou really familiar with the fillm before you wereapproaached about writing themusical?

No ‘Hard Times’ for AC/DC membersJANE STEVENSONSun Media News Services

Australian hard rockers AC/DC may have fallen on “Hard Times” — also the name of one of 11 tracks off their new CD Rock or Bust — in terms of their personnel.

But like the new album title suggests: If they’re not breaking up — after rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young retired from the band earlier this year due to dementia and the November arrest of drummer Phil Rudd — they’re rocking into the foreseeable future.

“We’re doing great — it’s exciting to be back together with a new album and, I think, for a tour next year. So yeah, we’re all good,” said bassist Cliff Williams, 64, seated beside the band’s legendary guitarist Angus Young, 59 (Malcolm’s younger brother), in a posh Manhattan hotel meeting room on Friday.

So it’s literally Rock or Bust then?

“It’s just a positive attitude.

We’ve always been like that: do or die, go for broke,” said Williams of why they chose that title.

“We will tour, we’re committed to that. Stevie (Young, Malcolm’s replacement) obviously will be with us. We’ll be (touring) at some point in the new year. I mean, there’s a lot to organize right now with the dates and what it’s going to look like. We obviously will try to get it as good as possible.”

Added Young: “Lots of bells and whistles. It’s always good if you’ve got a few surprises, if you’ve got a bit of a spectacle. There will be a lot of good rock music; that much we will say.”

I suggest though that they must have seen all the stories about AC/DC splitting up when rumours of Malcolm’s illness first surfaced.

“With this band, there’s always a lot of crazy stories,” shrugged Young.

“As long as you’ve got the passion you’re good,” he added when asked about retiring himself. “You have to love it. If you still enjoy it, that’s the main thing. I mean, I don’t know what

tomorrow will bring. Some day, I’m sure you might get to the point and say, ‘I can’t do it anymore physically.’

“I’m not there yet.”Still, they would admit

recording Rock or Bust without Malcolm for the first time in AC/DC’s career was hard. (The Youngs’ nephew Stevie — who filled in previously in the late ’80s — came back to record with them at Vancouver’s Warehouse studio.)

“Obviously, you miss Mal,” said Williams.

“You miss who Malcolm is, but because of Mal’s health it’s the circumstances,” added Young. “So we were lucky ... to find, I guess, the next best thing. Stevie ... he emulated Malcolm’s style of playing. So whenever I’ve been in occasions with the two of them sitting there, they play identical stuff.”

When I asked Young directly how Malcolm is doing today, he said: “... He’s happy. He’s getting the best care that (he) can get under the circumstances. And his family’s all there supporting him

all the time.”Questions about Rudd were off

the table as reporters were advised not to ask about him.

But Young earlier told USA Today: “He’s a great drummer,

and he’s done a lot of stuff for us. But he seems to have let himself go. He’s not the Phil we’ve known from the past ... I can only say, from our perspective, that the guy needs to sort himself out.”

BRUCE KIRKLANDSun Media News Services

Jennifer Lawrence is not infallible. For proof, just troll through the early reviews for her forthcoming romantic drama Serena, her third collaboration with good friend Bradley Cooper. Not good news.

But she is extraordinary in general. For affirmation, just scroll through the accolades this actress from Louisville, Ky., has generated since Winter’s Bone, her star-making role from 2010. They are beyond rapturous.

Serena, a timber baron tale set in The Great Gatsby era, ran into resistance in its early release in Britain. It will not be seen in the U.S. and Canada until Dec. 5. Instead, we will see Lawrence in a guaranteed box office monster opening Friday. She reprises her heroic role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1. This is the third in what will become a four-part franchise when it concludes with Part 2 on Nov. 20 next year.

The Hunger Games made $691 million in worldwide box office after its 2012 debut. The first sequel, Catching Fire, added another $865 million. The first Mockingjay seems destined to break the $1 billion threshold. At the same time, the movies are getting strong critical responses as well as cultish fan responses.

Just days ago — during the London press conferences for Mockingjay, parts of which are now online — Lawrence talked about how nervous she was about being branded

with Katniss. “I’m an actor and I don’t want to be remembered just as one character. That’s a scary idea — but I’m just so proud of these movies. I love their message. I love this character. I love everything about her and I am actually honoured to carry this character with me for the rest of my life and have people remember me as this incredible, courageous hero. And I hope people mistake it for me!”

That ramble — the nervous bit, the honour and the humourous twist — is

so Jennifer Lawrence. At 24, she handles herself with aplomb, throwing in self-deprecating jabs while never giving up ground. No wonder that Canadian acting legend Donald Sutherland — who plays President Coriolanus Snow — has praised her as an “exquisite and brilliant actor.”

Meanwhile, Rolling Stone magazine dubbed her “America’s Kick-Ass Sweetheart” and called her “the most talented young actress in America.” She has repeatedly made the lists for sexiest women, most powerful and best-paid actresses, and

even a Time magazine ranking as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. All rather extreme, absurd and yet appropriate for her status and her deep well of natural, untrained and unadulterated talent.

This is acting, after all, and Lawrence can flow — seemingly effortlessly — from fighting for family in the Ozarks in Winter’s Bone to mutating into a young Raven Darkholme/Mystique in two X-men movies to playing Katniss in The Hunger Games to portraying an emotional wreck in Silver

Linings Playbook to being sloppily sexy-crazy in American Hustle. There is no limit to her chameleon-like abilities.

Hollywood has noticed. Lawrence already has three Oscar nominations, with one win — a best actress nom for Winter’s Bone; a best actress win for Silver Linings Playbook; and a best supporting actress nom for American Hustle. All by age 23. If there was any justice in how Academy Award voters look at high-quality blockbusters, Lawrence would be getting noms for her work in The Hunger Games movies, too.

Lawrence herself laughs about the self-image she created by playing Katniss. “It’s not me,” she confesses in London. “It’s a very different person who handles emotions in a very different way. I would have just been crying every single day: ‘Where’s my mom?’”

She laughs a lot less about the intrusions into her life by computer hackers — with the nude photo scandal still in the news — and celebrity gossip mongers — with speculation over her on-off-whatever romance with Coldplay band member Chris Martin running rampant in the U.K. and the U.S.

The miracle is how well she handles herself publicly as outsiders refuse to mind their own business. She defiantly told Vanity Fair last month that anyone who looks at those stolen nudes is committing a crime, the same “sexual violation” perpetrated by the scumbag hacker. “You should cower with shame.”

I admire and respect this attitude. Lawrence is the real deal: an intelligent and sublimely talented actress who can be sultry and sexy, pure and powerful, crazy and vulnerable, wonderful and wicked, or anything else a role calls for. We have not seen the likes of her since Meryl Streep broke out in The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs. Kramer, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Sophie’s Choice. Streep now has 18 Oscar noms — a record for acting categories. The only actress actively working today who has any chance of matching or even surpassing Streep is Jennifer Lawrence.

Mockingjay set to soar at box office

“I’m just so proud of these movies. I love their message. I love this character.”

Jackson set to leave Idol after 13 yearsSUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – American Idol judge and mentor Randy Jackson is leaving the Fox TV singing competition after 13 seasons, the network said on Tuesday, after the show suffered a decline in ratings in recent years.

Music producer Jackson, 58, was one of the show’s original three judges along with Paula Abdul, who departed the show in 2009, and Simon Cowell, who left in 2010. Jackson left the judges’ panel after 12 seasons, but continued as a mentor in the 13th season this year.

“He’s provided great advice and support,

shaping the success of so many Idols we have discovered over the years,” the network and show’s production companies FremantleMedia North America and 19 Entertainment said in a statement.

“We hope he’ll visit from time to time,” the statement added.

Idol, once one of the top ratings hits on Twenty-First Century Fox Inc’s Fox Broadcasting with more than 30 million viewers at its peak, has seen a drop in viewership despite its high-profile judges.

The show hit a series low of 10.6 million viewers tuning into the season finale earlier

this year.Current judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith

Urban and Harry Connick Jr. will all return for the show’s 14th season next year, as well as host Ryan Seacrest, who has been with the show since its premiere in 2002 and has become one of the highest-profile U.S. television hosts.

A laid-back lifestyle and “small-town feel” close to a major urban centre make St. Albert one of the best communities in the province to do business, according to the latest issue of Alberta Venture magazine.

In its November 2014 edition, Alberta Venture declared St. Albert the best community for young entrepreneurs to set up shop, something that Guy Boston, executive director of the City of St. Albert’s economic development department, said is a pretty big feather in the city’s cap.

“Any recognition you get from a third party, an unsolicited opinion of what you’re doing, is always appreciated,” Boston said. “And Alberta Venture, this is certainly something that is noteworthy for us, that we’ve been singled out for this particular opportunity for young entrepreneurs.”

Alberta Venture highlights St. Albert’s o�ering of “big city amenities with tranquil scenery” as a big draw for young entrepreneurs,

along with the downtown core and its “ample foot tra�c.”

Boston added that he hopes the City can use this accolade and others like it to attract more young entrepreneurs to St. Albert.

“Everything is positive. If we’re not getting recognized, it’s not as good as if you are getting recognized,” he said with a laugh. “... As they get older and more mature and see what goes on in the world, it de�nitely means more and more.”

But also factoring into the equation is the draw St. Albert has for families to buy residential property.

“�ere’s somebody who started as a young entrepreneur in St. Albert, felt that they needed to leave in order to grow to the next level. Now they’re at the über-level, and they want to move back to St. Albert, which is spectacular,” Boston said. “�ey started o� as a young entrepreneur, and whatever we did here, they want to set up their business here because of how they felt welcome and, to

this day, still feel welcome to come back and bring their business to St. Albert.”

�e City has also attempted to encourage entrepreneurism in young people through its #GENYCEO program, which ran for the �rst time this past summer and provided a pair of high school students with valuable advice as they ran a pop-up gourmet ice cream stand.

Boston couldn’t say if he has seen more young people opening businesses over the past few years, but he said he would be interested to see how Alberta compared in that respect to other provinces.

“�ere are a lot of journeyman

electricians that have come out of NAIT, got their ticket, set up their own business and they’re millionaires inside of �ve years because of what’s going in Alberta in general with our resource industry,” he said. “Is that the same thing that’s happening in other provinces with younger entrepreneurs? I’m not sure. But the Edmonton area and Alberta in general has been highlighted by economic development industry as being a target area for young entrepreneurs. You can throw up a shingle and do well in Alberta.”

Greta Sieben and Dee Bateman are bringing the goodness to St. Albert.

A�er opening four locations of their Wild Earth Bakery and Café throughout Edmonton over the past six and a half years, the co-owners are bringing the concept to St. Albert, leasing out a counter and kitchen space in the Enjoy Centre.

Sieben said that St. Albert is a market they’ve had an eye on for a long time.

“Our company is family-owned and operated. Our company’s about community, and wherever we’ve situated our cafés ... we really like that vibe of community,” she said. “St. Albert is its own community. And to come in and build a kitchen would be so expensive, so to land in St. Albert with a beautiful built kitchen, we’re just happy to bring our products this way.”

And they’re truly feeling at home in the Enjoy Centre.

“�e Holes being a family that owns and operates a company, we feel we’re on the same level, being locally owned and operated,” Sieben said. “It’s rustic, it’s earthy — it just makes sense for Wild Earth to be here.”

But the new location isn’t just good

news for St. Albert — the extra kitchen space also bene�ts their other locations, enabling them to expand their product lineup, including a number of new bread varieties.

“Our other kitchen, we just didn’t have the capacity,” Sieben said. “It was the point where it was running 23 hours out of 24, and we couldn’t introduce any products into that oven.”

�e story of Wild Earth goes back some 80 years, as Bateman’s family owned a grocery store on 99 Street in Edmonton that was passed down through the generations. Sieben and Bateman took over the location in 2008, which became Wild Earth Foods, and opened a bakery next door, o�ering vegan and gluten-free options alongside traditional baked goods.

“We just wanted to create a big lineup,” she said. “�ere are a lot of people who just do bakeries or co�ee shops or cafés, but we have the full gamut.”

Since 2008, they have opened bakery kiosks downtown, at the Valley Zoo and in Laurier Heights.

One of the most popular things they do is their Build-A-Cake program, where people can order custom cakes with their choice of cake, �lling, icing and decorations.

But the number one seller over the years, Sieben said, has consistently been the raspberry and white chocolate scone.

“We just wanted to have good food and wholesome products — sandwiches made on homemade bread, soups made from scratch, baking made with butter and not cutting corners on real ingredients,” she said.

Looking further down the road, Sieben sees even more growth on the horizon, both in the company and in the menu.

“We really want to grow our cake line. It’s really launched and taken o�, and we just want to bring that to the St. Albert community,” she said.

For more information and a list of all of Wild Earth’s locations, visit www.wildearthbakery.com.

Price not the only factor to consider when buying or sellingKURIAN THARAKANSpecial to the Leader

Want to buy a scarce item, like that one-of-a-kind dream home, a vintage car, or a classic grand piano? Well, then, there’s good news: You can successfully win against higher bidders for the item by including non-price attributes in your conversations with the seller.

We have to remind ourselves that it’s not all about price. Non-price attributes like location, delivery, brand and service can all differentiate the core product sufficiently to allow sellers to charge higher prices. The good news is that non-price attributes can also work for buyers of scarce items.

In a series of studies done by Aaron R. Brough and Mathew S. Isaac of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, the research team was able to prove that sellers really do pay attention to factors beyond price paid when considering to

whom they sell a scarce item.One of the key reasons for this is a

concept called the “endowment effect.” Earlier behavioral economics studies proved that people who possess an item, even for a short period of time, value that item more than a similar item owned by someone else. This endowment effect transforms our decision-making from a purely rational process to one also involving emotion and sentiment. Sellers may be especially concerned with how a buyer intends to use the item after its purchase. This post-purchase usage intent may often be the deciding factor as to who a seller will sell to.

In the first study, 89 participants were asked to consider 11 pairs of offers for a grand piano. In each case, they had to choose one of the offers based on a combination of offered

price and buyer usage intent. Proper usage intent was defined as the buyer intending to play the piano. Improper usage was defined as the buyer intending to use the piano solely to

decorate the home.A significant number of

participants continued to want to sell the piano to the “proper usage” buyer, even when they were offering a lower price! On average, participants were willing to forego $680 to ensure that the piano would go to someone who would actually play it.

In another scenario, the item being sold was a rare handmade doll that was in

perfect condition, and just recently returned from an art museum where it was on display. The three types of buyer intents offered for the doll included:

• purchased for display in an art gallery (proper usage);

• purchased for the buyer’s daughters to play with (improper usage); and

• purchase intent unknown.Once again, the sellers were most

likely to offer the doll at a discount to the proper usage category. Other scenarios involving a diamond engagement ring and real-life used car sellers on an auto sale website also confirmed the researchers’ hypothesis.

What’s the marketing lesson? Price is just one of the factors a buyer or seller considers. Non-price attributes have a powerful ability to sway the decision in and out of your favor. If you can create an emotional connection and alignment of interests with your negotiation partner, this may be all the edge that you need.
