Christina Roth is looking for a little bit of beginners luck as she makes her way to Toronto this week to represent St.Albert and the rest of Alberta and compete in the Miss Canada Globe pageant, with the finals coming up on Aug. 23. See story, page 3.

Thats the approximate number of total cars that were registered for this years Rockn August classic car festival, which wrapped up on Saturday with a massive show-and-shine that started in Lions Park and stretched all the way to St.Albert Place along the Sturgeon River. For more on Rockn August, see page 4.

BY THE NUMBERS

Roth vying for pageant crownGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Christina Roth may be new to the world of beauty pageants, but shes ready to show what shes got over the next week in Toronto.

The 20-year-old St. Albert woman left Wednesday for Toronto to compete in the Miss Canada Globe pageant, where she hopes to bring home the crown.

As the pageant gets closer and closer, Roth is doing her best to quell the butterflies building up in her stomach.

Im very excited, said the St. Albert Catholic High School graduate. Im pretty nervous, but Im looking forward to meeting everybody and seeing what the pageant life is like.

Contestants in the pageant have a week full of activities leading up to the finals on Saturday, Aug. 23, including a talent night during which Roth will perform a tap dance routine an evening gown round and a swimwear round.

Theres also a chance to showcase whats called a platform, the work contestants do with a specific charity in their

hometowns.Roth has chosen to help out the

Art Start program run through E4C Alberta, which offers after-school arts lessons for kids aged six to 15 at different schools in inner-city Edmonton, ranging from drama and visual arts to music and dance.

Roth said this program was a natural fit with her work at the Northern Alberta Jubilee

Auditoriums Jube School program, which brings in kids from local schools to learn about different facets of theatre.

Its right up my alley, she said. With kids and art, those are things that I really love and I think are really great.

The Miss Canada Globe pageant is

being held in conjunction with the Miss Teen Canada Globe and the Miss Canada Petite pageants.

This is the first pageant that Roth has entered, although she said she had an interest in it for a long time.

One day, I was looking for a job on Kijiji, and I saw an ad that said, Looking for people to apply for Miss Canada Globe pageant. I clicked on it and this girl was

talking about it, because she was in it ... I talked to her about it a little bit, researched a little bit and applied, she said, noting that, out of more than 1,000 applicants, only 120 were selected to compete in Toronto.

But, as she has gone through the process, she has had tons of support from friends, family and the rest of the community.

I just made a Facebook page the other day, and I already have 220 likes, she said.

Should Roth win the Miss Canada Globe competition, shell have the chance to compete for a

number of international pageant titles, including Miss Globe and Miss Tourism International.

But even if she doesnt win, she hopes the experience will be worth it to make a few new friends.

Were obviously competitive, but I think were all there to have a good time and to meet other girls, Roth said. Hopefully theres not too much drama.

Whether or not she enters more pageants in the future, she added, is up in the air.

Itll depend on how this one goes, she said.

Im looking forward to meeting everybody and seeing what the pageant life is like.

Rain keeps Rockn August from recordGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

For the most part, the sun shone brightly on this years Rockn August classic car festival, but a little rain on Friday evening dampened organizers chances of setting a new record this year.

Rockn August organizing committee chair Mike Howes said that the total number of cars registered for this year was about 680, which is down about 90 from last year, and he chalks up that decline to rainy weather on Friday evening that kept people away from the cruise that wound its way from Apex Casino to St.Albert Place for a street dance.

Everything except for Friday was up in attendance, cars, everything, Howes said. Friday night ... I think there were still 3,000 or 4,000 that we could tag being down there, and we had about 300 cars. But we had 600 in that parade last year. Theres no question thats what cost us our record.

Still, Howes was encouraged by the attendance at events throughout the week, including two new ones: a barbecue Tuesday afternoon at the local Re/Max office and a pancake breakfast Thursday morning at Rickys All Day Grill in Village Landing.

Our kickoff breakfast (at St.Albert Inn and Suites), we had a record number of cars there. Sixty or maybe 70 cars showed up there, which was fabulous; we had never had more than 30 or 35 before, he said.

The committee wont have a final tally on the amount of

money the event raised for the Alberta Diabetes Foundation for another six weeks or so, but Howes is confident they will be close to their total from last year.

Even though this years festival is barely in the rearview mirror, Howes and the rest of the organizing committee are already looking forward to next year, meeting this week to debrief and get the ball rolling on planning.

Itll give us a chance to discuss it while its fresh in our minds, he said. Were excited.

Meanwhile, theres still one Rockn August event left to go this year, but theres been a small wrinkle in those plans.

The festivals wrap-up concert is set to go on Friday at Servus Credit Union Place, but Kenny Shields and Streetheart have had to pull out of the lineup due to Shields having some medical issues.

But, Howes said, both Kim Mitchell and Prism have both agreed to play longer sets to make up the difference and give concertgoers the same amount of entertainment for their buck.

In past cases that Ive seen similar to this where its a medical emergency, I think the crowds usually pretty happy with the way the other two bands will step up and make it a good show, he said.

Tickets for Kim Mitchell and Prism are still available through Ticketmaster, or you can buy them at the door on Friday evening.

Animal bylaw in effect Sept. 1GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The City of St. Alberts new animal bylaw is still about two weeks away from coming into effect, but officials are hard at work making sure pet owners know what changes are coming.

Although it was given third reading in April 2013, the new animal bylaw comes into effect on Sept. 1. In the leadup to the change, though, City staff have been going door-to-door to talk to pet owners, as well as hosting an open house on Wednesday evening in Progress Hall at St. Albert Place.

Over that time, City manager of policing Aaron Giesbrecht said one of the issues staff have heard the most about is the changing of St. Albert from being an off-leash city to dogs being leashed except in

designated off-leash areas, of which there are roughly 20 throughout the city.

(People) are just trying to get more details as to why certain (parks) were selected and why

certain ones were not selected, he said. People are just looking for clarity.

A policy is currently being drafted that would outline a process for residents to petition the city manager to have the

off-leash designation added to or removed from nearby parks. That policy is scheduled to be presented to city council for approval before the bylaw comes into effect.

Giesbrecht added that many residents have asked about licensing cats, even though that was ruled out early in the bylaw review process due to being cost prohibitive.

A lot of people are actually

inquiring about why we dont have licensing for cats, Giesbrecht said.

Other changes in the new bylaw require dog leashes to be no longer than two metres, and dogs to be on leashes within one metre of trails regardless of whether or not the larger area has been designated as off-leash. Dog owners must also always carry a means of picking up their pets waste while on public property.

Giesbrecht said that, after the new bylaw comes into effect, City staff will monitor the situation closely to evaluate how well the legislation is working.

We have an internal review committee thats going to look at a number of factors to try to determine the success of this, he said. But I think the success is really going to be in whether or not residents are pleased with this. Theres going to be a lot around satisfaction of services.

There is currently a dog-friendly park at Lacombe Park Lake, with specific signage and amenities, and a new one is scheduled to be completed in Campbell Business Park this fall.

People are just looking for clarity.

SAMHA looks to get more kids in the game with gear swapGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The St. Albert Minor Hockey Association is hoping to get more kids into the game with a week-long event.

Until Friday, players can drop off gently used equipment of any size to the SAMHA offices between Kinex and Akinsdale arenas on Hebert Road between 1 and 4 p.m. Then, on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon, families can come down to the

parking lot at Akinsdale Arena and pick up what they need for the upcoming hockey season for free.

Were trying to look after kids in St.Albert first, said SAMHA secretary Joe Becigneul.

Equipment must be in good condition to be dropped off, with no rips, cracks or tears. Sticks are being accepted, but jerseys, socks and personal protective equipment are not. Any equipment left over after noon will be donated to The Brick Sport Central, which will distribute it to families in

need in the Edmonton area.While St. Albert has a reputation for

being an affluent community, Becigneul said there are plenty of families in the city who depend on events like this to give their kids a chance to play minor hockey each year.

Its below the surface, but there is a need, he said. We have numerous benefactors in St. Albert who just quietly ensure that some kids who couldnt afford registration or team fees get to play. They just quietly get it done.

He added that, while the equipment

swap hasnt been an annual event for SAMHA up until now, he hopes it will take place more regularly in the future. Other community groups have also held similar events in the past.

Meanwhile, SAMHA is also holding a coat drive from Aug. 23 to Sept. 30 at all arenas in the city. Theyre hoping to collect gently used coats including team jackets from previous years that will be cleaned by Page the Cleaner and then donated to the United Way and distributed by the Coats for Kids and Families program.

Politics kill brands. That is one of the standout memories I have during the process of rebranding St. Albert many years back with Roger Brooks of Destination Development International. Around 2008, he was starting to pave the path of St. Alberts new brand development. This resulted in St. Albert becoming the Botanical Arts City a brand that many have fully embraced, yet some still resist as they try to promote something else they feel St.Albert should be known for and hang their hat on.

Sitting in those meetings with a dozen or so community folks, I witnessed first-hand the politics taking shape in that very room.

We are a sports city, some said; we should focus on sports.

No, were an arts- and culture-focused city, others argued, and we should focus our brand on that. History, dont forget our history! The discussion carried on with many points of varying direction.

Brooks then made some poignant remarks. After politics have killed the brand, he said, you will be left with some watered-down message that exists merely to make everyone happy. Something like: Come visit [insert any city name]: a beautiful place to live, work and play.

Awwww, the crowd would say in unison, that is our city.

And it speaks to everything we all just bitterly fought for in this branding exercise.

Where is that city, exactly? I ask. And why would I get in my car to go there?

Unique and experiential those were two major points of the branding development. Go hard with those and youll enjoy the building of a strong brand.

Are we a great sports city? Absolutely. Many great athletes have come from here, but so have many from other cities. Not much unique about it.

I bring this up as a bit of a reminder for some folks. Remember that the main attraction part of the brand represents the unique and experiential part. People dont spend their entire time with the main attraction, and everyone will eventually

benefit. You dont go to Banff and

sit in the hot springs for three days straight. You go enjoy it for a couple of hours and then youre off to shop, eat and discover all the other great things the community has to offer. But it was that main attraction that brought you.

Look no further than our farmers market. Between it and Rockn August this past weekend, tens of thousands of people visited our community. It is part of our brand. Our job is to do more with the spinoff benefits that everyone will enjoy.

If we embrace St.Albert as the Botanical Arts City, and continue to build on what is unique and experiential in our commununity, that will truly make us the smartest city around.

Unique, experiential brand brings spinoffs

Focus on x,not on HornerDoug Horner is truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.The MLA for Spruce Grove-St.Albert and more importantly in the case the finance minister and president of the treasury board is caught in the middle of the scandal that has developed over the past week after auditor general Merwan Saher released his scathing report raking former premier Alison Redford over the coals for her misuse of the Alberta governments fleet of aircraft during her time in the provinces top job.

Horner has been fending off calls for his resignation since the report came out, some of which have come from his own caucus. But those calls are misguided.

Horner, it would seem, was doing the best he could with the information he had. With the many facets of the provincial government that his departments oversee, its unreasonable to expect him to micromanage them all. Thats why he put the onus on the ministers who book the planes to make sure they are being used properly.

To draw an analogy, the police ask us to obey the law, and they are there to let us know if we have stepped over the line. But if someone breaks still the law, we dont go looking for police officers to turn in their badges.

In truth, the Wildrose, some of the PC MLAs and some members of the public are merely looking for a scapegoat, someone to take the fall since Redford bailed out of politics just before the auditor generals report became public. But this was a systemic failure that was bigger than just Horner, and his ouster would only be a symbolic gesture that wouldnt go very far in fixing the system to ensure this kind of failure doesnt happen again.

Horner has built up a stellar reputation of service to Alberta, and to have it all crumble around his ears because of this scandal would be an absolute shame. He has a lot of repairs to make to provincial policies, and whoever takes over the PC leadership has 10 times as many to make within the party. Horners critics would be better served to focus their efforts on fixing the system rather than calling for his political head.

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

A new walk is hoping to take steps toward raising awareness for seniors in isolation.

Taking place in Kingswood Park in St.Albert on National Grandparents Day on Sunday, Sept. 7, the Seniors in Isolation Walk is an initiative of Christenson Communities, which operates six seniors living facilities in the Capital Region, and aims to promote connections, activities and supports for seniors who feel lonely and isolated from friends and loved ones.

Its going to be an honour to organize

something like this, and I have no idea what to expect ... but Im excited to see what this is going to bring, said Lori Kary, a recreation therapist and recreation

manager for Christenson Communities who is based out of Citadel Village in St.Albert.

Participants can choose either a one-kilometre or a three-kilometre route around the day use area at Kingswood Park.

A similar walk was held in Edmonton a few months ago, and officials at Christenson, including Kary, thought it would be a great idea

to transport into St.Albert.Seniors, especially those who are still

in their own homes, can be quite isolated;

they may not know whats out in the community or whats available for them, she said. So this is to promote different connections, activities and supports for them, (to let them know) there are other things they can be involved in.

Some of those activities and connections for seniors are provided by agencies like the St.Albert 50+ Club and Seniors United Now, which Kary is hoping to get involved in organizing the walk as well.

The 50+ Club has a full calendar that offers a variety of activities; they can go in for lunch, they have different kinds of

activities there, she said. Same with (Christenson) a whole division of our company is called Inspired Living, so when you are independent and live in one of our communities, if you become an Inspired Living member, you have access to all sorts of really great opportunities. We have yoga classes, cardio classes, computer classes and outings that are just for Inspired Living members. There are a whole (bunch) of different kinds of activities to partake in instead of being at home.

Although this is the first year for the walk, the organizers have big hopes to see it

expand in the future.I hope this year will just be the

launch of it, and hopefully next year, we can get even more

people out, Kary said.For more information on the Seniors in

Isolation Walk, call 780-458-2431.

ENTERTAINMENT

Remembering Robin Williams

Having a ball

Photos: CODIE McLACHLAN, Sun Media News Services

The atmosphere at Rexall Place in Edmonton was a little more formal than usual on Monday evening as the band Arcade Fire hit the stage. The band made headlines when they announced their tour by asking fans to dress up for the concerts. Left: The band performs under an array of mirrors on the Rexall Place stage. Right: Lead singer Win Butler sings one of the bands hit songs.

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES Robin Williams, the versatile actor whose madcap comic style made him one of television and films biggest stars, was found dead on Monday from an apparent suicide at his home in Northern California. He was 63.

The Marin County Sheriffs coroners division said it suspected Williams committed suicide by asphyxia, but the cause of death is still under investigation and an autopsy will be conducted Tuesday.

This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken, Williamss wife Susan Schneider said in a statement.

Williams, who won an Academy Award for his supporting role as a fatherly therapist in the 1997 drama Good Will Hunting, had been suffering from severe depression recently, his publicist Mara Buxbaum said.

Williams had struggled with addiction in the past and had entered a Minnesota rehabilitation center this summer to help him maintain sobriety.

His representatives at the time said Williams was not using drugs or alcohol but had gone to the center to fine-tune and focus his sobriety after working a longer-than-usual schedule.

The death of Williams, who had introduced his frenetic and physical style as the quirky alien in the late 1970s TV comedy Mork & Mindy, shook Hollywood, and fellow actors mourned the loss of what many called a big-hearted man and one of the most inventive comedians of his time.

Fellow comedian Steve Martin said in a tweet: I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent,

acting partner, genuine soul.The Marin County Sheriffs office said it

received an emergency call about noon local time on Monday, saying that Williams was unconscious and not breathing at his home near Tiburon, north of San Francisco.

Williams is scheduled to appear in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb on Dec. 19, 2014, playing the statue of Teddy Roosevelt who comes to life at night. Twentieth Century Fox, which will distribute the film, had no immediate comment.

In April, the Hollywood Reporter said that Foxs Fox 2000 division was developing a sequel to his 1993 hit Mrs. Doubtfire that would reunite Williams and director Chris Columbus.

In the film, Williams played one of his most enduring roles as a struggling actor and divorced father who assumes the identity of a British nanny to be closer to his children.

The actor was

most recently in the CBS television comedy The Crazy Ones, which was canceled in May after one season.

Williams, who was born in Chicago in 1951 and grew up in suburban Detroit, was as skilled at comedic riffing as he was as a dramatic actor, earning four Academy Award

nominations, the first for his portrayal of U.S. Army deejay Adrian

Cronauer during the Vietnam War in Good

Morning, Vietnam.He also earned nominations for the 1990 coming-of-age prep school drama Dead Poets Society and The Fisher King in 1991 in which he plays a homeless man who

helps save a suicidal radio host.

Williams final tweet was posted on July 31. He wished

his daughter Zelda a happy 25th birthday.

REACTIONS

Hollywood celebrities and many others who knew him paid tribute to Robin Williams after he was found dead Monday:

Barack ObamaRobin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan and everything in between. But he was one of a kind.

Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him. He was a pal, and I cant believe hes gone.

Studio already out millions thanks to Expendables 3 piracySUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES Citing lost box office sales that are impossible to calculate, a California federal judge has issued an order to stop the operators of several websites from distributing stolen copies of the upcoming film The Expendables 3.

The movie, distributed by Lions Gate Films, is scheduled to be released on Friday, but a pirated DVD-quality copy already had been downloaded more than 2.2 million times as of Aug. 1, according to court filings.

In granting a preliminary injunction to Lions Gate, U.S. District Court Judge

Margaret Morrow said in a ruling in Los Angeles last Friday that the defendants deprived both Lions Gate and many others of revenue that will be impossible to calculate because there is no way of knowing how many people would have paid to see the film if it werent for the copyright infringement.

Lions Gate sued the operators of six websites that did not respond to requests to remove the film from their content. The operators are listed as John Does in the complaint, as their identities are not yet known.

The sites include Limetorrents, which the complaint said used the peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol BitTorrent to distribute the film between computer users. Other entities allowed people to download or watch the film directly, according to the complaint.

The judge also ordered an asset freeze on all accounts associated with the sites.

The film is part of a lucrative franchise, with the first two Expendables installments grossing more than $575 million worldwide. They feature Hollywood action stars including Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Lions Gate said in court filings that all the pirated copies of the film originate from a single, high-quality digital file that had been stolen.

The company said it learned of the piracy on July 24, and that within days the film was available on hundreds of websites.

As of Monday, Limetorrents appeared to no longer post links to the film. A representative did not respond to a request for comment.

Going out with a twangJANE STEVENSONSun Media News Services

It was always a given that hard-rocking, hedonistic L.A. glam-metal outfit Motley Crue would go out with a bang since announcing their final tour.

But how about a twang?In addition to touring North

America this summer with Alice Cooper opening, including Sunday night at Torontos Molson Canadian Amphitheatre before a trio of western Canadian dates in October, the group is also being celebrated with the Aug. 19 release of Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute to Motley Crue.

Who knew?I grew up in Idaho and at my

grandparents (country music) was on, says Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, 55, seated beside the groups lead singer Vince Neil, 53, in an elaborately decorated downtown hotel room.

As a teenager I heard it all the time. But I was looking for my rock station. And I always had that as a foundation.

As the years went, I was always checking in with all kinds of

music. And Id be listening to the Stones and reading the interviews about how they were influenced by country. Its always the roots. Its blues; its country. And then rock n roll in the 50s.

It was, for me, about 10 years ago when I was started listening to country radio in Los Angeles, sounds funny right there, and I started noticing how good these songwriters are. Like amazing lyrics, verses, choruses ... I was sucked in as a songwriter ... I became a fan that way. I guess you could call that new country and a lot of these artists that are on our album are those kinds of artists.

Adds Neil: My dad was from Paris, Tex., so I kind of had to listen to country. But once I found, say, The Eagles I was like, OK, if this is country, this is really cool.

But my dad was a big Johnny Cash, Johnny Rivers (fan) old acts like that, but then country became really, really country and I really wasnt interested. Then this project came about, I started listening to country again and kind of realized that the new country is more rock n roll than rock n roll

is right now.Neil even chimes in vocally

alongside Justin Moore on the tribute albums first track, Home Sweet Home, and in the video, too, which incorporates elements of the original clip plus features all four Crue members including drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist Mick Mars in a bar scene.

We were blown away, says Neil of when he heard the finished record. Some of the artists kind of stuck with the track, but they put their own touches on it and some of them went in ... the other direction that they made some of the songs better, I think. Like Darius Ruckers version of Time For Change. I listen to that and I go, Thats the way the song should have been, our version. And you take the Mavericks version of Dr. Feelgood and now its like a Miami Vice-Latino-salsa-country song. Its cool.

Adds Sixx: We didnt have our fingers on any of it. We didnt want to. We didnt want to get roughs or demos of it and have our input because whats the point? You dont want to tell Rascal Flatts or

Cassadee Pope or LeAnn Rimes what to do. Let them have creative freedom. And we were really pleasantly surprised.

But will Crues hardcore fans be up in arms about their beloved metal bands hits going country?

That remains to be seen upon the albums release.

Were just kind of waiting but I think its going to work both ways, says Neil. I think the country fans are going to find rock n roll in Motley and be curious about

it and see what were all about. I think the same thing with the rock fans. Theyre going to go, Wow, these country guys are doing this. Maybe Im going to check out these artists.

Adds Sixx: In the end, we didnt make this record for Motley Crue fans. This is a country record with our songs for country fans. Now we do believe that they cross and Ive heard many times that many people are 80s rock fans listening to new country.

Fatburger boss excited to get into St. Albert

Chamber going pink to welcome trail rideGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce wants to paint the town pink to support a major fundraiser for breast cancer research.

The Wild Pink Yonder trail ride will see horseback riders pass through 22 Alberta towns and cities over 23 days as they raise money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Along the way, though, theyll be looking for the Pinkest Little Town in the West, the town that shows the most spirit and support for the riders through pink decorations and themed events like dinners and dances.

And Chamber president and CEO Lynda Moffat wants St. Albert to bring home the title this year.

St. Albert was not originally on their route, but another community backed out, Moffat said. ... They contacted us, because St. Albert was right along their route, and we said, Awesome! It sounds like so much fun.

The Wild Pink Yonder trail ride should pass through St. Albert on Aug. 28, so the Chamber is turning their outdoor farmers market pink to raise money on Saturday, Aug. 23, and staff are also looking to plan other events for when the riders are in town.

Were hoping to hold a chuckwagon dinner for the public to attend (on Aug.

28) and meet the riders and make a donation to cancer research, Moffat said. Right now, were just putting together the plans for that, but the Kinsmen have donated their hall for us. The whole community has got behind

this so wonderfully, its amazing.

The Chamber has also distributed pink paper ribbons to businesses throughout the city. When customers make a donation to breast cancer research at one of these businesses, they can write their name on a ribbon and have it displayed in the business.

They have people coming in all the time to make purchases, so asking them to donate to that is a really good and efcient way to get good fundraising

results, Moffat said. And it has something to do with community pride, I think, that we can be the Pinkest Little City in the West. Im hoping people will jump on in any way they can.

So far, more than 80 local businesses have signed up to collect donations and distribute ribbons. Any businesses that want to be part of the campaign can call the Chamber ofces at 780-458-2833.

The Wild Pink Yonder trail ride started in 2009; by 2012, it had raised more than $440,000 for breast cancer research. This years ride left from Lloydminster on Friday, Aug. 8.

For more information, visit www.wildpinkyonder.com.

It has something to do with community pride, I think, that we can be the Pinkest Little City in the West.

Fatburger is coming to St.Albert with all the toppings.

Although the new restaurants opening date has been pushed back to Tuesday, Aug. 19, Frank Di Benedetto, the franchisor for Fatburger in Canada, said hes excited to open the doors at the location on St.Albert Trail and McKenney Avenue.

Were really enthusiastic about getting into the St.Albert market. Its such a great market, Di Benedetto said from his office in Burnaby, B.C., last week.

And it seems St.Albert is just as excited, with a fair bit of buzz building around the opening.

But the buzz is not only because of the burgers. The St.Albert Fatburger will be the first in the Capital Region with a Buffalos restaurant inside, offering chicken wings and strips.

We determined that chicken tenders, chicken wings and boneless wings would go really well with burgers, Di Benedetto said. In fact, theyve proved to be very successful for typical Fatburger stores; for the typical Fatburger-Buffalos store, between eight and 12 per cent of its sales is the chicken wings and tenders. So its fairly significant, and gives people a

broader range of choices.Fatburger currently has

eight other locations in the Edmonton area, plus one in Camrose. The first in the Capital Region opened in South Edmonton Common in 2007. Fatburger is owned by the Rickys All-Day Grill chain, which has operated a location in St.Albert for many years.

Although there are new commercial developments popping up on the northern edge of the city, Di Benedetto said the McKenney Avenue location is great because it places Fatburger in the centre of the action in St.Albert.

In analyzing both the short- and longer-term opportunities that could have presented themselves to us for a Fatburger placement in St.Albert, we decided really to pick centre ice, he said.

And hes excited to be one of the first off the ground in St.Albert in the burgeoning gourmet burger market.

Its a phenomenon that has really occurred in the past 10 to 12 years, and Fatburger was, unofficially, the starter of that process. I mean, Fatburger goes back to 1952, Di Benedetto said. ... For folks that want quality as much as they want value, Fatburger really delivers on that.

KURIAN THARAKANSpecial to the Leader

Beginners in sales often have a mistaken belief that their job is to persuade the prospect to buy. If they mature and survive past this nave stage, they may come to a realization that the only person that can persuade prospects to a course of action are the prospects themselves. Any action that does not occur from the prospects own desire is probably the result of misrepresentation, fraud, coercion or pressure tactics.

But what if you could create an environment where the prospect could persuade themselves?

Social proof is a powerful and prevalent psychological phenomenon where people look to the actions of others to decide how to act themselves. A 2008 study by Noah J. Goldstein, Robert B. Cialdini, and Vladas Griskevicius demonstrated how persuasive this influence tactic is.

To observe social proof, they conducted a study over several months in a mid-sized, mid-priced, hotel to see if they could get guests to be more environmentally friendly.

In the first instance of the study they placed cards in the guest rooms as
