Mayors ready to usher in new eraGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The mayors of St. Albert and Sturgeon County took a big step toward a new era of co-operation between the two municipalities this week.

Both Nolan Crouse and Tom Flynn were up early on Monday morning to deliver the first-ever joint State of the Region address to a breakfast crowd at the Officers’ Mess at CFB Edmonton, touching on a number of issues that could have implications on their jurisdictions and many others.

“It’s important that you set the tone so that the leaders of the future don’t have a choice,” Crouse said. “If you behave a certain way, over a period of time, you set a particular culture. So we’re trying to set a culture that cannot be reversed.”

The co-operation between the city and the county didn’t just start recently, though, both mayors pointed out; both Flynn and Crouse have been making concerted efforts to work together since before last October’s municipal election.

“After we got elected, we challenged our councils and our administrations to start thinking differently,” Flynn said. “There are really no borders between the communities. ... We can grow much differently if we work together.”

Earlier this year, the two councils held a joint orientation and strategy session in Westlock. They have also struck an intermunicipal affairs committee consisting of three councillors from each jurisdiction.

“Talk is cheap, but we have to act like a unified body on some things,” Crouse said.

One of those things is Villeneuve Airport, which Flynn said had tremendous potential to

be an economic driver for the whole region.“It has the opportunity to help St. Albert

grow a business base, a health services base, a labour movement base and many other opportunities that can be there. ... It is a gem

that we don’t recognize yet,” he said.

Meanwhile, the future of Villeneuve Road has also become a hotter topic in recent years, given that St. Albert has grown much further north and west than it was 25 years ago.

Another topic on the mayors’ plates is that of housing. The Sturgeon Foundation already offers options for seniors in both St. Albert and Sturgeon County, but Flynn said more could be done to expand that into affordable housing

for all ages, and possibly even hospice care.Flynn also broached the subject of fire

services in the county, saying he felt a better

model could be developed with St. Albert’s help.“There are areas of Sturgeon County that

aren’t as well-covered as we could have them when there’s a fire truck sitting close to those areas,” he said. “If we work together, we can get that done.”

The subject of possible future annexation also came up, but while Crouse and Flynn insisted they haven’t talked about that particular topic, they have talked about “boundary adjustments.”

“If there’s a boundary adjustment that makes sense, then we would have that conversation. ... Our council has had no conversation about annexation. What we have had a conversation about, Tom and I, is: Are the boundaries right?” Crouse said.

Both mayors added that they are prepared to bring other towns like Bon Accord, Gibbons and Redwater into the conversation, and are ready to move forward and focus on the future.

“If we trust each other and look for the common good, we can get a lot further a lot faster, a lot easier and a lot more economically. ... We need to be bridge builders, not fence makers,” Flynn said.

“There are really no borders between the communities.”

Special Olympics hit hard by loss of StiverGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Special Olympians in St. Albert are mourning the loss of a coach, a mentor and a volunteer dedicated to seeing them succeed both in sports and in life.

Wendy Stiver — who volunteered with the local Special Olympics chapter for almost 25 years — passed away on Friday, Sept. 12, at the age of 66. Starting with bowling practices on Saturday mornings, Stiver spent more than 20 years as chair of the St. Albert chapter, and spent as many as 250 days a year giving her time to help athletes with developmental disabilities.

“When you lose someone of Wendy’s experience and passion, it’s a huge loss,” said Special Olympics Alberta president Johnny Byrne. “There are two sides of it. There’s the operational side and running of programs, but more important to us, it’s losing someone of her quality and just a respected person within our community. She was a friend to many and a leader. She’s not the type of person you can replace.”

St. Albert Special Olympics athlete Josh Petrone penned an open letter tribute to Stiver that was posted on the Special Olympics Alberta website.

“We had so much fun together. There was nothing we did without her,” he wrote in part. “Everyone was devastated to lose someone who we have loved for a very long time. It will never be the same without her.”

Byrne knows the athletes were hit particularly hard by the news of Stiver’s passing.

“We definitely feel for the family and friends who will miss her, and definitely the

athletes, who I know are struggling with not having Wendy around anymore,” he said. “She was definitely a huge part of their lives.”

Stiver never sought out attention, but it sometimes found her, like in 2012, when she was named Volunteer Citizen of the Year by the St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre.

CIVC executive director Glynis Thomas said everyone there was “greatly saddened” by the news of her passing.

“She was an incredible life force in the volunteer community,” she said. “She was well-loved, well-respected and dedicated. I witnessed first-hand many times the Special Olympians and their absolute love and regard for her.

“We have suffered an incredible loss. But at the same time, the community has so greatly benefitted from everything she has done for so many people, and we will cherish that.”

Byrne added that Stiver was instrumental in strengthening the Special Olympics movement in St. Albert, especially when the Special Olympics National Winter Games were held in the city in 2012.

“She really was the driving force for St. Albert,” Byrne said. “St. Albert is full of amazing volunteers on their managing committee, but she had been the chair and lead for almost 10 years, and for well over 20, she had been an instrumental volunteer. The thing about Wendy was that she was willing to get involved in any capacity.”

A celebration of Stiver’s life was held on Friday at North Pointe Community Church in north Edmonton. In lieu of flowers, her family has instead asked for donations to be made to St. Albert Special Olympics.

Kickoff for Operation Christmas Child campaign set for Oct. 4GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

It’s not yet October, and Molly Moore is already thinking about Christmas — but not for herself.

Moore is part of the St. Albert Operation Christmas Child Committee, which is holding a kickoff event for this year’s campaign on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Victory Life Church (90 McKenney Ave.). Every year, this campaign sends thousands of shoeboxes full of toys, school supplies and toiletries to underprivileged children in the third world to help brighten up their Christmas season.

“It’s really exciting” to get going for another year, said Moore. “We’ve got a brand new committee, so we’ve lots of new ideas and ways to expand on the campaign.”

Operation Christmas Child is run by Samaritan’s Purse International Relief.

In St. Albert, the campaign has typically seen a really good response, with lots of donations and firefighters donating their time and their trucks to help pick them all up.

“I find the schools really love it because it’s kids helping kids. It gives the kids the opportunity to make an impact in a third-world country,” Moore said.

“It’s important for kids to realize there

are people who are much less fortunate than we are,” she added, “and to realize there are things we can do, even from our own homes, to help people and improve their lives.”

The kickoff event will feature speakers from Operation Christmas Child’s office in Calgary talking about their experiences with the campaign, including travelling overseas to deliver shoeboxes. There will also be a chance to ask questions of the local committee.

Moore has been involved with the campaign herself since she was 13 years old.

“I’ve been packing boxes for as long as I can remember,” said Moore, now 18. “I

actually got involved through my church, Sturgeon Valley Baptist Church. They were the area collection site, and they were looking for some people to help out.”

But what’s kept her coming back year after year is seeing just how much bigger it can get.

“I love seeing how it grows every year. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about, helping children who are less fortunate and bringing the joy of Christmas to them,” she said. “They may not otherwise get any presents or any sign that people love hem and they are important.”

Shoeboxes are scheduled to be picked up in St. Albert between Nov. 17 and 23.

Q �� A It depends on the school. There are schools that focussolely on competition, but what tends to happen is you losethe art of karate.

City, TD team up for tree-mendous eventGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

St. Albert got a little greener over the weekend thanks to some help from a bank with a green logo.

About 30 volunteers from TD Bank branches across the Capital Region teamed up with the City of St. Albert and Tree Canada on Sunday to plant 181 trees in the Grey Nuns White Spruce Park as part of TD Tree Days, a nationwide initiative to plant trees and increase the sustainability of forests across Canada.

Margo Brenneis, parks director for the City, said the whole event went very well.

“This was the first time that TD had done a tree planting in St. Albert, but it is something that everyone mentioned they would like to make an annual event,” she said, adding that a larger spruce tree was planted by Mayor Nolan Crouse and a TD executive to mark the occasion.

Ashley Jewers, customer service manager for the TD Canada Trust branch on the north end of

St. Albert Trail, agreed, saying that all the volunteers who came out were really enthusiastic.

“And the weather was fantastic, so that was a cherry on top,” she said.

Jewers added that, because she lives and works in St. Albert, she knows how important green spaces and natural areas are to residents, so she was eager to get this initiative going here.

“I thought this was a great way for me to tie my two worlds,” she

said.TD Tree Days started up four

years ago, and so far the initiative has planted 135,000 trees across Canada. The trees were paid for through a grant from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

Brenneis said that having a strategic partner like TD is wonderful for the continued health of the forest.

“For us, it’s a really unique partnership that they feel is very worthwhile too,” she said. “And we’re going to continue — there’s so much planting that can be done at Grey Nuns White Spruce Park that, every year, this can continue to grow and engage more of the community.”

Jewers said that TD has been committed to the environment for several years now, and the Tree Day events are part of that commitment.

“It’s a way to green the communities we live in and work in,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for our employees, and the friends and families of

employees, to give back to the communities in which we work.”

The Grey Nuns White Spruce Park, which is located just east of Ray Gibbon Drive, has been declared a municipal historic resource by the City due to the fact some of the trees contained therein are over 100 years old. In May of this year, city council approved a management plan for the forest that was developed with the help of an advisory committee that included both City administration and community members.

“It’s one of the last white spruce plantings in North America,”

Brenneis said, “and it’s vulnerable because we have lots of old trees in there, and the young trees are not growing. So we have a real age imbalance. What we want to do to preserve it is plant more younger trees, and we’re providing an environment for them to survive so we can have longevity with the park.”

The management plan also looks at human activity in the park, like hiking and bicycling, and how it will affect the health of the trees.

“It’s got a great future (and a chance) to be a great destination park in our city,” Brenneis said.

“It’s a way to green the communities we live in and work in.”

issues throughout the city.

“Traffic issues are prevalent in our city. When Erin Ridge came in, we realized how many traffic problems there are. We can do studies and write reports on them or we can empower administration to be proactive on this and take action.”

@kristintoms

Council voted to approve an Asset Management Policy, which looks

to set guidelines for the city’s use of finances and resources to

create consistency, sustainability, transparency, and efficiency in City-

managed projects.

“Asset management is about the life-cycle for the needs of the community and the policy creates the framework for maintaining the cycle.”

— Eduardo Sosa, infrastructure manager

This policy is the first step to implementing a full asset

management framework, and staff will begin composing other project policies based

on the guidelines in the Asset Management Policy.

“We’re going to have Asset Management Policies across the province that are fairly consistent ... St. Albert is leading on the issue.”

— Coun. Wes Brodhead

“This is a guaranteed tax increase to our residents without their knowing... The majority of this council is OK raising the tax rate under buzzwords like sustainability.”

— Coun. Sheena Hughes

“I think this is a good step in leading by example in the community... We have hired in this manner before but this puts it into policy.”

— Coun. Cathy Heron

“I think an overarching policy that equitably addresses traffic problems is worthy for administration to take into account.”

“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.”

— Ansel Adams

This weekend is Culture Days — nationally, provincially and in

St. Albert featuring StArts Fest. It’s your opportunity to explore a wide variety of art forms — theatre, music, visual and literary arts.

This year’s festival includes what have become regular events — a story slam, poetry readings, Prairie Tales, demonstrations and hands-on activities with St. Albert Place Visual Arts Council (SAPVAC).

New events this year include H@ckjam, Scarf for St. Albert, Knitting Knitters, Brutinel: The Story Behind

the Man and a musical mystery with the St. Albert Community Band.

Fresh from the Fringe, catch Days of the Klondike Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Arden Theatre. Winner of the 2014 Fringe Public Choice Award, this family friendly play has a St. Albert flavour with music and lyrics by C.M. Oxley, directed/designed by Maureen Rooney and many of the cast hailing from the city. With an original score of upbeat contemporary and ol’ time honky tonk music, this production will bring history to life like you’ve never seen it!

Also new this year is the StArts Fest film festival. The theme is St. Albert — films featuring St. Albert performers, made by St. Albertans or showing St. Albert locations. Starting at 3 p.m. Saturday, family films (suitable for all audiences) will be featured. Starting at 5:30, open submissions films (may not be suitable for all audiences) will be screened. At 7 p.m., the feature film I Think I Do, a 2014 romantic comedy by director Dylan Pearce will be followed by a Q&A with Dylan.

Another StArts Fest first is providing microgrants to local artists. We have awarded three grants this year to fund dreams and to facilitate participation in StArts Fest and Albert Culture Days:

• St. Albert musician

Nathan Carroll presents stripped-down excerpts from Modern Prometheus Suite, a composition based upon the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. This work in progress will be presented on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the St. Albert Place Lobby.

• #SquareArt, an interactive art installation by Samantha Williams-Chapelsky, which can be found at St. Albert Place late Friday afternoon and Saturday.

• Visual artist Heidi Carroll will display two paintings from her series of abstract colour studies in acrylic on larger-scale canvasses in the St. Albert Place Lobby on Saturday.

Come explore with us at StArts Fest. More information can be found at startsfest.ca.

Are you in for StArts Fest this weekend?

Those first small steps

St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse said it himself on Monday morning: Talk is cheap.

Crouse was referring to the City of St. Albert’s relationship with Sturgeon County, which has been strained — to put it bluntly — over the last couple of decades. In that time, the two municipalities have butted heads over commercial development, residential development, servicing, taxes and just about anything else you can think of that two municipalities would butt heads over.

But the fact that, when Crouse reiterated to a crowd of more than 100 people that talk is cheap, he was standing next to Sturgeon County Mayor Tom Flynn at a podium is a positive first step. The two mayors joined forces on Monday morning to deliver a State of the Region address, where they talked about all sorts of issues, from Villeneuve Airport and Villeneuve Road to housing and fire protection. And while it may have been a largely symbolic event, it was promising that the two mayors could even be in the same room without tearing into one another.

That said, however, as much as the joint address was a positive step forward, it was merely a baby step. As Crouse said, talk is cheap, and most of Monday was talk. It’s not until some of these issues truly come forward to be dealt with by their respective councils that we will see each municipality’s true colours begin to shine.

Will St. Albert and Sturgeon County see eye-to-eye on how Villeneuve Airport is developed? Will St. Albert be willing to lend a hand to its neighbours when it come to fire protection? Will the two governments be able to work together when it comes to developing housing options for seniors and young families that are affordable? Will the dynamics change if other municipalities are brought into the conversation, like Bon Accord, Gibbons or Redwater?

These are questions that will have to be answered further down the road, the same road that Flynn and Crouse took that first tiny step down on Monday. Talk is cheap, but if they keep at it, both municipalities could cash in in the future.

Catholic board kicks off 150thGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

A hundred and fifty years of Catholic education in St. Albert is a cause for celebration, and Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools has a year full of festivities planned.

The district took the lid off their plans on Friday morning at the Little White School, with the highlight being a gala event on Mission Hill being planned for June 2015.

“What a historic event for our community. A hundred and fifty years of education — that’s pre-Confederation. Can you even imagine that?” said board of trustees chair Noreen Radford. “This is phenomenal.”

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to tell the story of where we come from,” added superintendent David Keohane.

Catholic education began in St. Albert when the Sisters of Charity of Montreal — commonly known as the Grey Nuns — opened their new convent in 1864, with room to educate about 20 students. The year prior, they taught seven Métis and First Nations orphans that came with them from Lac Ste. Anne.

Members of the Grey Nuns were on hand Friday morning, and will

be involved in the school district’s celebrations all year long.

“It’s very important (to be involved), since we’re the ones that started it. … It’s part of our history,” said Sister Marie-Anne Lavoie, a member of the Grey Nuns who still lives in St. Albert.

Lavoie didn’t teach in St. Albert, but she attended school in the local Catholic system until Grade 7, when she went to a convent in Legal. She has many fond memories of her time in those schools, though; she is even front and centre in a class photo that adorns a classroom wall in the Little White School.

“It was a lot of fun,” she said.A lot of planning has gone into the

year-long festivities, Keohane said, with each school hosting their own unique celebration at some point during the year.

“Each school is in charge of their own, because it’s not a top-down division,” Radford said. “Every school has the opportunity to come up with their own unique ideas of how to celebrate.”

The district has also launched a special page on their website where former students can share their stories and memories.

The gala event will take place on Mission Hill on June 13, 2015, and will honour “the pioneering spirit of the Grey

Nuns and faith-based education in the province,” according to the district’s website. Tickets will go on sale this November.

A special mass is also planned for Mission Hill on June 11, 2015.

Looking back and seeing how Catholic education has grown from those 20 students in 1864 to some 6,000 students in the district today, though, it’s hard for Keohane to wrap his head around sometimes.

“A great piece about our school system is that it reaches out beyond people of one single faith,” he said. “It’s people who want to grow within a basic Christian faith dimension and become stronger in their lives because of it. That’s our value base, and the fact that value base continues to connect and resonate with people in the current day and age is inspiring.”

But Radford said that, the more some things change, the more they stay the same.

“We have students in my ward of Morinville who are housed in a parish hall,” she said with a laugh. “It’s basically come full circle.”

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

She won gold in Sochi, but Meaghan Mikkelson had to settle for silver on The Amazing Race Canada.

The finale of the reality TV show — which featured the St. Albert native and her Canadian Olympic women’s hockey teammate Natalie Spooner taking on 10 other teams in a race across Canada and the world — aired on CTV Sunday evening, with Mikkelson and Spooner finishing in second place at Rideau Hall in Ottawa behind best friends Mickey Henry and Pete Schmalz from Muskoka, Ont.

While Mikkelson and Spooner looked upset when they crossed the finish line, Mikkelson said they got over it pretty quickly and were proud of the race that they ran.

“It was a tough pill to swallow at the time, but after taking time to reflect on the entire experience and the entire journey, it was absolutely incredible, and something I would never give up,” she said on Monday morning. “It’s not just about the destination; it’s about the journey. That was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.”

They did get a consolation prize, though, when they were named the fans’ favourite team in an online vote, winning a year of free gas from Petro Canada. Mikkelson and Spooner also won seven legs over the course of the race, most of which came with prizes of trips from Air Canada and cash.

While both The Amazing Race Canada and the Olympics are high-pressure situations with high stakes, that’s about where similarities end.

“Playing in a gold-medal game under pressure with millions of people watching, that’s a lot of pressure, but you also have 20 to 25 years of hockey experience to fall back on; it’s something I’ve been doing my entire life. I can prepare for that — I can train, I can practice, I can prepare with my teammates for what we’re about to face,” Mikkelson said. “In The Amazing Race, you have absolutely no idea what you’re going to be doing each day when you wake up, when you rip open those clues. You don’t know where

you’re going or what you’re doing, so you can’t prepare yourself for anything.”

Having won gold together, Mikkelson and Spooner were pretty good friends before the race started, but they’re even closer now.

“I would consider her like a little sister now,” Mikkelson said. “We talk absolutely every day, and we’re super close. I’m thankful I got to have that experience with her.”

But they’re also close with several of the teams they raced against, including Mickey and Pete, who she said are “really great guys,” as well as siblings Sukhi and Jinder Atwal — even though they tried to point the ladies in the wrong direction in Prince Edward Island.

“That’s been one of the best parts of this race, getting to know people. Once you meet them, you understand why they were cast for the show,” Mikkelson said.

With their long hair and seemingly carefree attitudes, it would have been easy to write off Mickey and Pete’s chances early on, but Mikkelson was careful not to underestimate any of their competition.

“I think it was in Tofino (B.C.) ... I think I said to (Natalie) after that leg, ‘These guys are in it. We can’t underestimate them,’” she said. “We said that about all the teams going. You try to scope the other teams out and see who you think is going first, who you think is going until the end. But I said to her all the teams are here for a reason.”

Because the show was filmed earlier this year, Mikkelson had to keep the outcome of the race under wraps until it aired on TV, which was tough to do.

“After we had been doing so well, my friends and family and teammates were going, ‘You won it, didn’t you?’ And sitting there, knowing you didn’t, that wasn’t awesome,” she said. “But I think that helped with getting over it and realizing what a great experience it was.”

For the most part, Mikkelson said the way the race was presented on TV was how it unfolded in real time — save for how she dealt with a broken hand that she suffered during the Olympics.

“But I was kind of happy, because it wasn’t all about my hand, and I didn’t want it to be about that,” she said. “I tried not to complain about it even though it bugged me pretty much the whole way through. I had to be smart about it. Yes, The Amazing Race was a big deal for us, but I also have my hockey career, and that, to me, comes first. ... I didn’t want it to be an excuse. I’ve had people say to me: You don’t find an excuse, you find a way.”

A third season of The Amazing Race Canada is slated for next summer, and applications for contestants are currently open at www.theamazingracecanadacasting.com.

At the starting line in

Jasper, what were your nerves like? Were there any nerves at all?

MM: There were nerves, for sure. I compared it to when you’re about to go out

on the ice for a hockey game, the gold-medal game. You’re nervous, you’re excited, you kind of feel like your heart’s in your throat. You’re

shaking; there’s a lot of adrenalin. But as soon as you step out on the ice, it all goes away. And it

was the same in the race; as soon as (host) Jon (Montgomery) said, ‘Go!’, or as soon

as you ripped open your first clue in the morning, those nerves were

gone.

START

PIT STOPSMeaghan Mikkelson talks about some

of her most memorable moments from along The Amazing Race Canada route

One of the Road

Blocks in Hong Kong was eating snake bile and snake meat soup. But

you powered right through it! How did you gather up the mental strength for that?

MM: It was good that I didn’t know at the start that it was the gall bladder they had taken out of the snake. Not knowing that, I think, helped. Then there was also the fact we hadn’t eaten

in probably 16 or 17 hours. I was starving! You could put anything in front of me

at that point and I’d probably eat it. It actually tasted a bit like

chicken; it wasn’t that horrible.

3

Winnipeg was home to the

infamous hockey challenge for you and Natalie, but it was also the

first time you had finished out of the top three thus far. Was that kind of a wake-up call?

MM: I think so. It’s good to experience disappointment along the way, and we were

definitely disappointed on that leg. Obviously being hockey players, it’s something we

should have been good at. But we’re human; we make mistakes. We had a bad day.

And we’re OK with that. We used it as motivation and we just

moved on.

6

How powerful an

experience was it for you to go to Normandy and Juno Beach, these

places where so many Canadians sacrificed their lives in the Second World War?

MM: I get asked what my favourite leg of the race was, and it was definitely the one in

Normandy. Just being on that beach and talking to the veteran at the mat, Jim Parks, and

knowing what they went through, what they sacrificed for all of Canada to live the lives we do today, it was a humbling

experience. It was nice that the race was able to capture

that.

7

When you go to a place

like Paris, did you wish at some points during the race that you had more

time to just stop and take these places all in?

MM: Yeah — you’re in Paris, and you kind of feel like you’re experiencing Paris in fast forward. We zipped by the Eiffel Tower, and that was it. We ran by the Arc de Triomphe, grabbed our clue and away we go. Those are places that you’d like to stop and be able to appreciate, but that’s part of the race.

You know that going into it, that you’re not going to get to stop and smell the flowers.

It makes me realize that there’s so much in the world that I

want to see.

8

(Even though Sukhi

and Jinder tried to point Meaghan and Natalie in the

wrong direction in Prince Edward Island, it seems all has since been

forgiven.)

MM: They’re really lovely people, and I’m glad we’ve

gotten to know them as well.

David Myles is a study in contrasts.One side of the Halifax-based singer-

songwriter’s new double album, In the Nighttime, features the folk-pop songs for which he has gained legions of fans in Eastern Canada and a handful of East Coast Music Awards. But the other side of the album is home to six tracks with a major hip hop feel to them, thanks in large part to long-time collaborator and producer Classified.

While his live show features only two acoustic guitars and a double bass, that won’t stop Myles from exploring both sides of his musical persona when he hits the stage at the Arden Theatre in St. Albert on Saturday, Oct. 4.

“I do (delve into the songs produced by Classified), but just in a way that’s more stripped down,” Myles said. “But I definitely do play those songs, and I talk about our collaboration. At first ... I thought, ‘How am I going to produce this stuff live? If this is the stuff that people are familiar with, that’s out there on the radio, do I need to have tracks? Do I need to take it in the pop direction in the show?’ And I realized that wasn’t the type of show I wanted to do. I really wanted to do a show where stuff was stripped down and people could really hear the song. And when people like a song, I think they enjoy hearing it like that.”

Myles may be best known for his work on Classified’s hit single “Inner Ninja,” which garnered them both Juno Awards and MuchMusic Video Awards in 2013.

That partnership began, oddly enough, over a game of ping pong.

“We were hanging out at a music conference. I had heard his music before — I’m a hip hop fan — so we started talking, and we just basically got along really well right away,” said Myles, who started out playing trumpet on some of Classified’s songs, but eventually starting contributing song hooks.

“We were in completely different places musically, but we shared a certain energy and enthusiasm for making music and being in the studio. It lit a fire.”

But Myles believes it’s a symbiotic relationship, one that opens up doors for both artists and lets fans discover music they might not normally be turned on to.

“That’s what you hope with any kind of collaboration, especially a collaboration where you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone,” he said. “And this is is a collaboration that involves two very different worlds, so if it’s successful, it does just that.”

Another contrast in Myles’s life in the fact that, while he’s making a go of it as a professional touring musician, his degree from Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B., is in political science.

But after a year-long internship in politics, he realized that music was his true calling.

“I found it really interesting, but the reality is that I was obsessed with music,” he said. “I was going to work thinking about songs. At this point, the bug had been fully planted in my world. I was obsessed with writing songs as soon as I started. I got to a point where,

if I tried to do something else, I wasn’t going to do it very well, because my mind was so occupied with (music).”

For many years, the Eastern Canada music scene was synonymous with Celtic revival acts like the Rankin Family, the Barra Macneils and Ashley MacIssac. But, as much as Myles reveres and respects what those bands have done, he is proof that things are diversifying in the Maritimes.

“It’s big enough that there’s great diversity, but small enough that everyone knows each other,” he said. “You can feel part of the community quickly, and you can meet people who are making music in different genres.”

Tickets for David Myles are $28 each plus fees and taxes through Ticketmaster or the Arden box office.

Dallas Smith coming to Go Auto Arena in Feb.GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Dallas Smith thought St. Albert was so nice, he’d come here twice.

The former lead singer of the rock band Default has turned his attention to country music, and will

be playing in support of his new EP, Tippin’ Point, when he visits the Go Auto Arena in Servus Credit Union Place on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015.

Smith previously came to St. Albert in 2013 to play the Rainmaker Rodeo and Exhibition alongside Doc Walker.

Smith will be joined at Servus Place by special guest Charlie Worsham. The concert is presented by CISN Country 103.9.

Tickets for the show range from $47.25 to $57.25 and go on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Smith’s Tippin’ Point Tour begins in Fredericton, N.B., on Jan. 15, and will hit 20 cities.

He released his debut country album in 2012 after working with Default — known for songs like “Wasting My Time” and “Deny” — since 1999.


Simon searches for happinessSTEVE TILLEYSun Media News Services

A great job. An amazing house. A beautiful significant other. Happiness achieved, right?

If only it were that easy.Simon Pegg is a happy man, as

you might expect from an actor who alternates between clever comedies (Shaun of the Dead, The World’s End) and mega-blockbuster franchises (Mission: Impossible, Star Trek.) Clearly he has it all.

But having everything doesn’t equal joy and fulfilment. In Hector and the Search for Happiness, directed by Peter Chelsom (Serendipity) and opening in theatres this week, Pegg plays the titular Hector, a well-heeled London psychiatrist with an amazing apartment, cool toys and a stunning live-in girlfriend (Rosamund Pike.)

But unlike Pegg, Hector is not a happy man.

“He lives this life which is so anesthetized by comfort — by the right clothes, the right computer,

the right girlfriend and the right house. It’s completely beige,” says Pegg, who jetted into Toronto in the midst of shooting Mission: Impossible 5 with Tom Cruise and pals to talk about happiness, that most elusive of emotions.

Hector sets out to discover what makes people happy, travelling from Buddhist temples in the Himalayas to poor townships in Africa. Adventures are had, dangers are faced and lessons are learned.

As Hector roams the world and scribbles wisdom in his journal — pithy sayings that pop on the screen, “which range from f---ing Hallmark bulls--- to the philosophically relevant,” says Pegg — there’s one in particular that the star says we have to take to heart.

“It’s the one that says avoiding unhappiness is not the route to happiness,” says Pegg. “You can’t know happiness unless you know its opposite, and have experienced the entire spectrum of emotional colour to know what the colour blue means.”

That’s some deep stuff, but Pegg is a surprisingly deep guy, especially if you know him only as the characters he plays in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy, as Scotty in J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek flicks or as the comic relief tech whiz in Mission: Impossible.

“I’ve had my fair share of life, I guess, and I’ve channeled that into what I’ve done,” he says. “I wouldn’t say I’m an unhappy person at all, I’m more happy now than I’ve ever been I think.”

Can’t blame him. After jetting around the world to film Hector, he’s now doing the same to reprise his role as Benji Dunn in next year’s Mission: Impossible 5 (which we assume will be released with a sexier title than that.)

“We’ve been in Vienna, and now we’ve moved to Morocco. It’s a hoot,” Pegg says. “I love doing my films and I like doing slightly more indie films, but I love those other ones just as much. I love doing Star Trek and Mission: Impossible just as much because they’re such fun. They’re huge and silly and a joyful thing to be part of.”

Neeson takes a walkJIM SLOTEKSun Media News Services

The hipster downtown hotel Liam Neeson is staying at actually has vinyl in the room for your entertainment pleasure. Atop them: Rod Stewart’s 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story.

“That’s crazy, I still have this!” Neeson says of a record he bought on release.

If you’re wondering how old that makes Neeson, the answer is 62.

And if you’re wondering how a 62-year-old Oscar winner ends up playing assassins, hit-men, air marshalls and — in his latest, A Walk Among The Tombstones — a sharp-shooting-cop-turned-private-detective … well, so is he.

“I can’t believe it. But then I wouldn’t have got these roles at 35. It’s just the way the world turns some times,” says the lanky and fit actor.

“When I did Taken, I thought, ‘Three months in Paris? That can’t be too bad.’ I thought it’ll go straight to video, I’m totally satiated, three months in Paris, good food. Then Fox did an incredible PR job and it became a hit. And suddenly they started seeing me in a different light.”

Has anyone gone from serious actor to action star before? “I can’t think of anybody, can you? I’m not one to put myself on a pedestal, but it’s just been mad, man. You know what this business is like.”

Wherever the work comes, he’s happy with it, supporting his family in New York since the death of his wife Natasha Richardson five years ago. Shooting at home was the attraction with this adaption of a Lawrence Block novel about a detective who’s hired by a drug trafficker (Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens), whose wife was kidnapped and killed despite the ransom being paid.

“It’s the best, to sleep in your own bed. With this one, we had eight weeks of night shoots. They’re tough, especially after three weeks. Your whole body clock is a-- about face.”

And another action film meant more time spent with an improbable best friend — his longtime personal stunt co-ordinator Mark Vanselow. “He’s the reason I don’t get beaten up much. We’ve done 16 films now (their first was 2000’s Gun Shy with Sandra Bullock). I never get hurt, nor has he. We rehearse hard for a long time and then make it work.

“It’s a special relationship. Mark sort of moves like me, and he’s a really good pal. And he kind of gets me and I kind of get him. People ask, ‘Do you do your own stunts?’ No, I leave that to the professionals. But the fighting aspect, yeah, I love to do that!” he says, brightening.

An erstwhile boxer, Neeson says, “I have a really good gym, and I use the heavy bag. But I stopped sparring a few years back, because you get guys going, ‘F---, I’m gonna get this guy,’ y’know?”

His latest bout of training came because, “Taken 3, which I just finished, was particularly tough physically, and I just felt I’d better be ready.”

A fan of red wine, Neeson stops drinking when training. “I clean myself up and stop drinking wine and stop eating gluten bread. I drink decaffeinated tea, all that boring stuff. I do that for six months and then the rot kicks in again,” he says with a laugh.

Next up, Neeson is playing… a tree — a yew tree in fact, in an adaptation of the children’s fantasy novel A Monster Calls. “I’m going to be in a very sexy wetsuit with yellow dots all over it. And those computer nerds will do things,” he says.

“So Mark (Vanselow) can sit this one out.”

VASA show celebrates unique artists

Celebrating StArts Fest

Alberta Culture Days


Organizers of a unique art exhibit featuring the work of some special artists are hoping it will be one of the highlights of this year’s StArts Fest.

Starting today (Thursday) and running until Oct. 24, the Visual Arts Studio Association of St. Albert (VASA) is hosting a new exhibition entitled Authentic Art, featuring mostly paintings created by people with developmental disabilities.

Local artist and St. Albert Painters’ Guild member Peg McPherson runs a program at VASA for adults with developmental disabilities, and she said it’s a freeing experience for people who might otherwise live a very structured life.

“Many of them haven’t had the total freedom to experiment with some of the materials and just play,” she said. “They really enjoy themselves, just the tactile sense of playing with diffrerent (mediums) and gaining a little bit of confidence of what they’re working with.”

But, as an instructor, McPherson also gets a lot out of working with them.

“I really like giving people the opportunity. I feel like everyone can benefit from creating art, and I love being a guide to allow people to have that exposure,” she said. “I love the process, and I’m really fascinated by the product as well.”

And, she said, it’s often a surprise to see what they come up with.

“I might start with something in mind as inspiration; I might talk about a couple of different techniques and show them a couple of pictures,” McPherson said. “And then I am totally surprised by what comes from the class. There will be 10 totally different things.”

The art program for adults with developmental disabilities started last September, and recently started up again for 2014. McPherson runs two sessions every Tuesday, each for about an hour and a half, with room for about 10 artists in each session.

As the show gets closer and closer to opening, everyone at VASA is getting excited to open the doors.

“Everything looks like it belongs together,” McPherson said. “It’s happy, it’s explorative. There’s just a whole energy in there that’s really positive.”

The opening of the show coincides with StArts Fest and Alberta Culture Days, which take place this weekend.

McPherson said that wasn’t planned, but she does hope it will bring a little extra exposure to the artists and their work.

“I thought, what a great way to start StArts Fest with a totally different exhibition,” she said. “We called it Authentic Art because it’s honest art. There’s nothing pre-planned or anything; it just flows from

the individuals. I think it’s really important for them to have that voice.”

And she hopes those who come and see the exhibit take away something authentic, too.

“(I hope they get) a sense of pleasure, a sense of enjoyment. I hope they look at the art for what it has to say, not what their

expectations are. I hope they just have a very open view of the art.”

Authentic Art runs at the VASA studios in the Hemingway Centre (25 Sir Winston Churchill Ave.) until Oct. 24. An opening reception will be held on Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information on the exhibit or on VASA itself, visit www.vasa-art.com.

“I think it’s really important for them to have that voice.”

Metro Cinema Society keeps film rolling CHRISTOPHER SCHIEMANSpecial to the Leader

Edmonton’s Garneau Theatre has had a tumultuous history since it opened its doors in 1940. The second oldest theatre in the Edmonton area (the Roxy Theatre on 124 Street was opened two years before), the Garneau Theatre has been bought and sold and even almost became a sports bar in the 1990s before finally being named a historical site in 2009.

In 2011, the Edmonton-based not-for-profit Metro Cinema Society moved out of its original home and base for its independent and classic film programming in the Citadel Theatre’s Zeidler Hall to the Garneau, solidifying this Capital Region landmark as the cultural epicentre for film.

“Edmonton has the perfect climate for theatres,” says Metro Cinema Society executive director David Cheoros. “A city like Vancouver has a lot of films being made, but I don’t think a lot of people go to films there.”

Cheoros took on the role of executive director with Metro in June 2014 and previously worked as the executive director for LitFest, Edmonton’s non-fiction literature festival, and the Film and Arts Society of Edmonton (FAVA). He explains that he’s been attending Metro events for 15 years and is especially excited to be working with Metro because of its attitude in taking cinema back to its roots.

“Cinemas weren’t just a place to see movies. They were a community hub for all kinds of performances and a lot of times also acted like a town hall,”

explains Cheoros. “There’s not many of this era’s theatres left in Edmonton and the Garneau is the perfect place for a group like Metro.”

Metro’s programming is a mix of selections by the society itself and series ideas brought to them by third-party organizations. Different regular programs include Crime Watch, a monthly series celebrating crime dramas; Turkey Shoot, a monthly series showing campy cinema and then discussed (and often mocked) by a panel of filmmakers and reviewers; and even a Saturday morning series where classic cartoons from the ’80s and ’90s are

shown and complemented by an all-you-can-eat cereal buffet.

“With the Saturday mornings, you get a

mix of hungover 20-year-olds, families with small kids, and 40-year-old moms competing to make the craziest cereal mix concoctions,”

Cheoros points out. “It’s an interactive

experience that brings people together.”

Cheoros is looking forward to his first autumn

working with Metro, which is the Society’s festival season. He points out that there are festivals for all kinds of films including October’s Dedfest, Edmonton’s annual horror movie festival, and November’s Festival of Ideas, a University of Alberta based festival of the arts. He also points out important festivals that highlight local films, such as Prairie Tales, which features short films from Alberta based filmmakers and will be shown in the St. Albert Public Library’s Forsyth Hall as part of this year’s StArts Fest on Friday at 7 p.m.

“There’s no shortage of people in Alberta making movies,” Cheoros points

out. “We might not have the best Hollywood films being made here, but there’s always something interesting going on here.”

The Metro Cinema Society is also showing locally made features during Alberta Culture Days, including 1977’s Why Shoot the Teacher produced by Edmonton-based author and Athabasca University communications professor Fil Fraser.

The Metro Cinema Society has no shortage of interest or content to display why film is culturally important in Edmonton. Every week, there’s something different going on in the Garneau: one week you could see Breakfast at Tiffany’s with a university feminist studies group; the next week you could see Army of Darkness with a group of ravenous horror fans reciting Bruce Campbell’s infamous one-liners. Cheoros notes that the immersive nature of film is what connects people so deeply with the medium, and with others who hold that same connection.

“Everyone has those 10 films that changed their lives and cinema gives you that random access to people with those similar interests,” Cheoros concludes. “You never get this kind of experience watching Netflix at home.”

U of A pharmacy students kick fundraising efforts into gear


Students at the University of Alberta — including several from St. Albert — are hoping they’ve got the right formula to raise money for several different causes over the course of the new academic year.

Even though the school year just started, pharmacy students at the U of A are already going strong on their fundraising efforts, with the next major event being the CIBC Run for the Cure in Edmonton on Sunday, Oct. 5.

Alyssa Schmode is a St. Albert Catholic High School graduate who is in her second year in the pharmacy program, and she said that excitement is building among students for that event.

“We’re really excited. We’re well on our way to our goal … we’re really excited to get out and promote what the run is for,” she said.

Pharmacy students also raised about $2,500 during their Saving Second Base softball tournament at Centennial Park in Edmonton on Sept. 13. So far, their tally on the Run for the Cure website is about

$7,500 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

It’s a disease that has affected many within the program personally.

“There are a lot of people within our faculty who have been personally affected by breast cancer. The team captain, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer; luckily she survived,” Schmode said. “If people know the signs and symptoms early on, they have a much better chance of surviving.”

Schmode estimated that there are about 20 to 25 students in the pharmacy program from St. Albert.

Throughout the year, pharmacy students will focus their fundraising efforts on other diseases, including prostate cancer and other cancers below the waist, as well as juvenile diabetes.

But as important as raising money, Schmode said, is raising awareness about the diseases.

“That’s a really important thing for pharmacy students to do, to promote overall wellness and help (people) become aware of issues and know what to look for,” she said.

The park includes a playground, 15 picnic sites and fire pits and a pair of benches.

Hog’s Head adds to arsenal with Tap Room

Frozen barley may push beer prices up


St. Albert’s only cra� brewery is hoping people go as “hog wild” for its food as they have for its beer.

Located in Riel Business Park, Hog’s Head Brewing Company has been churning out bottles of beer for thirsty customers for almost two years. But now they’ve added a restaurant to their Rayborn Crescent headquarters, giving patrons something to wash down with their tasty brews.

�e Hog’s Head Tap Room has been open for about two weeks now, and Jayde Malloy, who works in the front of house, said business is steadily growing.

“I’ve been very impressed. For us only being open two weeks, it’s pretty good,” she said.

She added that people aren’t having much trouble �nding their building tucked away in Riel Park, with packed houses for both lunch and dinner service.

“We are going to be putting out more signs and have it out there more so it is easier to �nd … but with us being so hidden, I’ve been very impressed with what we have coming in so far,” Malloy said.

Hog’s Head chief operating o�cer Terry Nistor said the restaurant is a great way to get the word out about the business, both to St. Albertans and to visitors.

“It’s just a natural �t for a brewery,” he said. “First of all, the beer is about as fresh as you’re going to get. �e brewery’s behind

us, and the taps are right here.”�e tap room also does takeout

orders, and with the National Football League season underway, they have specials all day every Sunday. �ere are also o�-sales and a growler �lling station on site.

�e tap room’s menu has already changed and evolved in the couple of weeks the doors have been open, doubling in size.

“We started o� with a preliminary menu until we could �gure out exactly the limitations of the equipment,” said chef Patrick Spilsted, who previously worked at Chop Steakhouse in downtown Edmonton. “Now we’ve added meatloaf subs and mac ’n’ cheese — real comfort, homey foods.”

But one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that beer is part of every dish on the menu, from the chicken wings glazed in a sauce made with their Clockwort Orange beer to carrot cake made with their Boss Hogg oatmeal India pale ale.

“Anywhere I can substitute, where the recipe calls for water, let’s go with beer,” Spilsted said.

Outside of the kitchen, Hog’s Head has partnered up with the City of St. Albert’s economic development department, and they hope that partnership, along with many others, will help them continue to grow well into the future.

“Our mandate is to grow provincially, to continue and make St. Albertans really proud of having a brewery right in their (city),” Nistor said.

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Beer prices in North America may rise next year as brewers and maltsters face higher costs a�er cold, wet weather damaged Canadian barley crops and le� farmers and tipplers crying in their beer.

Canada, the world’s second-biggest exporter of malting barley, was already harvesting its smallest crop since 1968, before a recent dump of snow and freezing temperatures in Alberta, the biggest barley-growing province.

�e shortage will hit cra� brewers the hardest, since they typically keep less malt inventory on hand than larger breweries that are also better able to absorb costs.

“Prices (going) up means our costs go up and beer prices ultimately go up,” said Neil Herbst, co-owner of Edmonton-based Alley Kat Brewery. “Any small brewery is going to be exposed.”

With supplies tight, the premium maltsters pay for high-quality malting barley has grown and that cost will pass along to brewers who are not protected by long-term supply contracts.

Cra� brewers, the small breweries that are independently owned, typically have shorter-term supply contracts than big brewers to buy malt, which is a product made from germinating and drying cereal grains.

Brick Brewing Co Ltd, an Ontario-based company, has an assured supply of malt at a �xed price through the end of 2014 with Canada Malting, a unit of Australia’s Graincorp Ltd . But starting

in 2015, Brick, whose brands include Waterloo and Laker beers, expects to pay more for malt, re�ecting the poor barley crop.

“We’re expecting a little bit of price adjustment for sure, just because the harvest is late, weather’s been bad, everyone’s predicting yields are down,” said Russell Tabata, Brick’s chief operating o�cer.

Canadian farmers are on track to produce just 7.2 million tonnes of barley this autumn, the smallest crop since 1968. In the United States, farmers are expected to grow 192.7 million bushels, the smallest crop in three years.

�e European Union, which is the biggest barley producer, along with

Australia and Argentina all expect to harvest smaller crops because of weather and other factors.

“�e big concern at the end of the day is, are we going to have enough barley to carry us through to next year’s harvest?” said Pat Rowan, senior manager of BARI-Canada Inc, a division of Anheuser-Busch InBev. It procures barley to be malted for the brewer.

“In North America, it’s probably the worst year I’ve ever seen.”

Rowan said the maker of Budweiser would not likely need to boost beer prices.

Cra� brewers are also at greater risk than some big brewers because they generally use more malt in brewing. Some larger brewers such as Anheuser-Busch add corn or rice for a di�erent �avor, which are more plentiful.

“It’s probably the worst year I’ve ever seen.”

Time to move out of the basement?BRITTANY KUSTRASpecial to the Leader

You’re in good company if you began your entrepreneurial journey with a laptop in your basement. Whether you’re an inventor, accountant, or website developer, it’s likely you’re following the path of many other small business owners: humble beginnings at home, followed by the momentous move into a professional office of your own.

Picture your office: Is it a simple desk in a shared coworking space? Or will you lease an entire f loor of a skyscraper?

Successful entrepreneurs inevitably face the question, “How will I know when it’s the right time to expand?”

Here are a few ways to know that you need to move beyond the basement:

• You meet clients in person regularly. Bringing clients into your home isn’t the most professional way to do business. Regular visits to coffee shops can get expensive pretty quickly, too.

• Home life gets in the way of your work life. Some of us simply aren’t cut out to move past home distractions like chores, pets, and TV.

• You can forecast your company’s financial future. If you feel confident about your company’s financial security for the next 12-24 months, then a formal office may be your right next step.

• You’re hiring more staff. When you move beyond a one-person team, an office provides a more structured work environment than your home.

• You need the office essentials. Your home printer and basic internet connection just don’t cut it when your business starts to boom.

Over 70 successful small businesses currently call the Northern Alberta Business Incubator (NABI) home. We specialize in finding the right space for your business. Our offices range from 82 to 1,000 square feet, and our leases are always month-to-month.

If you can’t commit to an office yet, then start with a mailbox, phone services, or meeting room space!

Visit www.nabi.ca to learn more about leasing a space, and make sure to check out our blog the latest NABI news.
