The team behind the hugely successful Jack’s Burger Shack in downtown St. Albert — (L-R) Tu Le, Nathan Pratap and Jen Pulham — is ready to go beyond burgers and open up a new pub called Feast and Lounge just a couple of doors down sometime next month. See story, page 30.

That’s how many hours of work volunteers contribute to communities across Canada each year, according to Volunteer Canada and the Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating from 2010. That’s the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs. There are a total of 13.3 million volunteers across the country, or 47 per cent of Canada’s population. Young people aged 15-24 volunteer more than any other age group.

After winning awards for her volunteer work at the local and provincial levels, Katie Fitzgerald stepped things up a notch this week.

On Monday, the Grade 11 student from Paul Kane High School was at Rideau Hall in Ottawa to receive the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award from Gov. Gen. David Johnston, one of 46 recipients of the award from across Canada for 2014.

“It was amazing,” Fitzgerald said. “For them to fly me out there is just so cool. My whole family got to go out; to spend it with my whole family was great. It was such an honour to get it.”

Fitzgerald has been volunteering with a number of local organizations for several years now, including Special Olympics, the Second Chance Animal Rescue Society, the BAM (Building Assets and Memories)

youth group, the SOARING program at the St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre, Free the Children Canada and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. She won a Stars of Alberta award from the provincial government in December 2013, and a Leaders of Tomorrow award from the CIVC in May 2013.

Recipients of the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award are presented with a certificate and a pin. The award was started in 1995 by former governor general Romeo LeBlanc.

Seeing what some of the other recipients of the Caring Canadian Award do in their community, Fitzgerald was humbled to be included in their company.

“I was one of the youngest there, but there was a man there who survived the Holocaust,” she said. “So to be grouped in the same category as a man that teaches people now about racism on such a big level, it’s amazing.”

It was a whirlwind trip to

Ottawa for Fitzgerald, though, as she was back in St. Albert the next day to sing at the St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at the St. Albert Alliance Church.

The luncheon also featured a speech by Olympic gold medallist and St. Albert native Meaghan Mikkelson, who said that volunteers are a “crucial” part of the community of her success in international women’s hockey.

“The support that I find the most pure and authentic and enduring is the support that comes from volunteers,” she said, noting that there were 25,000 volunteers helping the athletes during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Mikkelson also mentioned during her speech just how inspiring she thought Fitzgerald was, something that knocked Fitzgerald’s socks off.

“I was almost in tears. I can’t even explain it, that’s so amazing,” Fitzgerald said. “I was going to tell

her that. I was like, ‘You stole my line!’ But she’s definitely an idol of mine, and for her to say that is so amazing.”

Also on hand for Tuesday’s luncheon were Mayor Nolan Crouse and members of city council, along with Alberta Culture and Community Spirit Minister Heather Klimchuk.

“There is not a person here today, not a person in the towns and cities across the province, whose life has not been touched by the work of a volunteer in some way,” Klimchuk said. “National Volunteer Week and events like this luncheon are an opportunity to get to know who these volunteers are, and an opportunity to say thank you.”

A new festival blending gardening and food is set to take root in St. Albert this October.

Preparations are underway for the city’s first-ever Dig In “horticulinary” festival, which will take place at the Enjoy Centre on Oct. 10 and 11 and will educate patrons on eating, growing and supporting local.

Dawn Fedorvich is an economic development officer with the City of St. Albert, and she said she and the other organizers of the festival are excited to bring their work to fruition.

“It’s going to be really cool; it’s all about growing and eating local,” she said. “And it’s going to be very interactive. It’s not just a passive meal on the Friday night — you’re going to interact with the chef and you’re going to make

part of your meal.”The festival is being co-

ordinated with the help of the Alberta Culinary Tourism Alliance. Dig In’s website just went live last week, and organizers hope to announce more details about the festival later this month.

The idea for the festival came from the City’s brand leadership team, which was looking for ways to incorporate the botanical arts brand into aspects of everyday life in St. Albert.

“It really highlights the awesome opportunities we have in St. Albert around growing food,” Fedorvich said.

So far, organizers are

envisioning the festival being composed of a gala dinner on the first evening with chef Blair Lebsack of Rge Rd in Edmonton, followed by a number of workshops, demonstrations and

breakout sessions on the second day.

“On Saturday, there’ll be some free sessions where people can come in and see

demonstrations — how to do

a thanksgiving floral arrangement

or how to make beef jerky,” Fedorvich said.

Among the topics that will be covered are:

gardening taken to the extreme, growing food in small patches only a few square feet where land

is available;

Combining aspects of growing gardens for show and for food; and

supporting the local economy and becoming self-sustainable through growing your own crops or buying them from local suppliers.

There will also be sessions on craft beer making, which emphasizes flavour and technique in the brewing of small batches.

“The beer fits into the local (aspect), as well as bringing people in,” Fedorvich said.

appeal to you, but the craft beer will appeal to you,” she added with a laugh.

The beer might also come in handy during some of the festival’s other activities, like

the hot pepper-eating contest that’s tentatively scheduled. Fedorvich said the folks at Hole’s are working to bring in some of the hottest peppers in the world for the festival, including the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, the hottest in the world, some 2,500 times hotter than a jalapeno.

But before anyone chows down on those chilis, there’s quite a bit of other work to do between now and October.

“We’re going to do some promotion with save-the-date postcards,” Fedorvich said, “and build a following through social media. But we’ve got to finalize our events and our chefs this month, which I think we’re on track to do.”

The Be Brave Ranch is moving closer and closer to completion, but they need a little help to push past the finish line.

The ranch — a project spearheaded by Little Warriors, a national organization that helps adults prevent, recognize and respond appropriately to child sexual abuse — is located only about 20 minutes outside St. Albert, and will be the first of its kind in Canada, designed to comfort and treat the victims of child sexual abuse through therapy, the arts and outdoor

activities.But, in order to meet their goal of

opening the ranch in June of this year, Little Warriors is calling on volunteers from all over the region — St. Albert included — to lend a hand.

“Everything we’re doing is by donation; there’s no government money for a program like this,” said Cori White, project manager for the ranch, pointing out donations of toilets, shingles, paint and even vehicles toward the cause.

The next community volunteer day at the ranch is April 26, when people can sign up to help with various tasks, like sanding

and varnishing log cabin walls, painting bedroom, raking grass and landscaping.

While the organization has been looking mostly at people 16 or older during the renovation phase, the warmer weather and the progress made has opened up opportunities for some younger folks.

“We’ll probably be able to say 12 and over at that point, because we’ll be out of the (demolition) mode, where things are flying around and we want to make sure the kids are safe,” White said. “And once we get into the outside stuff, we’ll probably take any age.”

Aside from the general volunteer days,

though, there have been plenty of hands on deck at the ranch, including employees from Home Depot and from Jetco Mechanical, the latter of whom replaced 18 bathrooms throughout the facility last weekend.

“Every time we go on Facebook and ask for something — we’re short of this or we’re short of that … it’s awesome, it’s fantastic,” White said.

If you’d like to help out on the next community volunteer day, email [email protected]. For more information on the project, visit bebraveranch.littlewarriors.ca.

The next few months for Marianne Ryan, commanding officer of RCMP K Division, will be spent mulling over where to place 40 new frontline officers recently funded by the province.

Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis announced Monday the government is investing about $227 million this year for RCMP, including $5.9 million for the additional officers. As part of the Provincial Police Service Agreement (PPSA), the RCMP serves rural communities that don’t have their own police service.

Although it’s not known where exactly the new officers will be placed, what is known is that one of them will be stationed full-time at the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre in Calgary, and another at the Zebra Child Protection Centre in Edmonton. Currently there are no full-time RCMP officers embedded at either centre, despite a demanding workload.

Bob Hassel, CEO of the Zebra Centre, said staff are “absolutely ecstatic” about the recent announcement.

“It’s phenomenal. We’ll have our own

centre where we can just help children from all across the province — both rural and urban settings,” said Hassel, adding the centre currently has 10 full-time Edmonton police detectives. Last year, they assisted the RCMP with 59 of their files.

“That’s fairly significant,” said Hassel. “Whoever they bring in here will be quite busy and have the support of the whole centre behind them.”

Where the remaining 38 officers will go has yet to be determined. Every year, the province works closely with the RCMP to prioritize

where the greatest needs are based on resources available

and funding.“All of these officers will

be going to areas that they are most needed,” said Ryan, noting the RCMP is actively recruiting.

“This certainly helps significantly. Everyone could use more, but this is going to go a

long way in serving our communities well and addressing that front line policing response.”

The province has more than 1,500 RCMP officers stationed in communities served by the PPSA. The province also provides funding to the RCMP for specific areas, such as organized crime and First Nations in the city.

his year, National Volunteer Week runs from April 6 to 12. It’s

a week set aside to celebrate volunteerism and recognize the many contributions of volunteers!

Volunteering is a part of who we are as Canadians, and it is our dedication to community involvement that has given us a reputation as a smart and caring nation.

The theme for National Volunteer Week this year is “Volunteer Work Speaks Volumes,” and that couldn’t be more evident than right here at home in St. Albert. Volunteering is happening more than ever here, and this volunteer movement continues to strengthen our community.

Every day, someone in St. Albert is volunteering and helping someone else, by

sharing their time, talents and energy. People of all ages are volunteering — right from the four-month-old babe who volunteers with his or her parent to teach young children in school how to be empathetic and caring to others, to the teenager who helps a child to learn to read in a Reading Buddies program or helps to teach a child to learn to swim at our local pool, to the person who gives his time to drive a cancer patient to his or her treatment sessions, to the senior who volunteers as a surrogate grandparent for our military families in the community who

are far away from home and their own grandparents.

The contributions that these volunteers — and so many others in our community — make is priceless and really does speak volumes. Many times, these contributions go quietly unnoticed, so this week is our opportunity to say thanks and show our appreciation.

For the volunteer, it is a tremendously rewarding feeling to give your time to help someone else or to a cause that you are passionate about.

Have you ever been in a drive-thru line and paid for the coffee of the person behind you? It feels really good to pay it forward, doesn’t it? Now I ask you to take it a step further, join the volunteer movement and pay it forward with your time, talents and energy.

You will feel great to know that you helped to make a difference, and what you receive will be tenfold compared to what you are giving. There are so many ways to make your connection in the community, and the one that fits for you is

out there, just waiting for you.

ommon sense, it is sometimes said, isn’t so common. And when it comes to vaccination, it’s even less common.

In the past week or so, we’ve seen outbreaks of easily preventable diseases like measles and whooping cough in Alberta. These are diseases that should not be popping up with this kind of frequency anywhere in the western world thanks to the vaccination programs we have in place.

And yet here we are, due in large part to the anti-vaccination movement that has been spreading over the past few years. Parents have been refusing the shots over concerns that vaccines could cause autism in their children.

The problem is that the connection between vaccines and autism is tenuous at best — and most likely non-existent. There was only one study that ever linked the two, and its results were never repeated. The medical journal that published its findings in 1998 later retracted them. And the British doctor who authored the study had his medical license revoked.

However, parents hold on to this belief, and their children are the ones who suffer. Mumps can be painful and, in rare cases, can cause deafness or sterility. Measles are itchy, but can lead to pneumonia and possibly death. With all the other bugs out there that we can’t vaccinate against, it’s in the best interests of children to take whatever diseases we can off the table.

These outbreaks not only cost kids their health, but they cost money as well. The Alberta government spent $1.4 million trying to contain a rash of measles cases around Lethbridge last year. Who knows what that figure could skyrocket to if such an outbreak were to occur in a more densely populated urban centre like Calgary or Edmonton, where it could spread much faster.

Long story short, there is absolutely no reason why children should not be immunized in this day and age. In fact, refusing vaccinations does far more harm than good, not only to individual children, but to our community’s collective health.

In the end, we can only hope that the common sense around vaccination becomes more common again — and that preventable diseases don’t.

Even though he graduated 35 years ago, Jim Hole still holds a special place in his heart for the University of Alberta. And now, he is set to be honoured for it.

It was announced this week that Hole, the co-owner of Hole’s Greenhouses and Gardens and the Enjoy Centre in St. Albert, would receive the U of A’s Advocacy Award as part of the 2014 edition of the school’s Community Connections Award, which will be handed out on Tuesday, May 13, at Edmonton City Hall.

The Advocacy Award is given to an individual or group that gives their “time, expertise, and passion to advance the U of A and post-secondary education in our community,” according to the university’s website.

And that description fits Hole to a tee. He graduated from the university in 1979 with a bachelor of science

degree in agriculture, but his ties to the U of A remain strong, as he has devoted thousands of volunteer hours to his alma mater. He has served as president of the Alumni Council and a member of both the U of A senate and its board of governors.

He was also an honorary co-chair of the university’s centenary celebrations in 2008, during which he conceived the highly successful Green and Gold contest.

“A proud alumnus, Jim seeks every opportunity to advocate on behalf of the university in its quest for continued excellence. With great passion and integrity, he continues to be a university leader and advocate in the tradition of the three generations of Hole family members before him,” reads a bio provided by the university.

Other Community Connections Award recipients for 2014 include Dr. Cindy

Blackstock, an associate professor in the U of A’s faculty of extension,

for the Community Scholar Award; and the University

of Alberta Mixed Chorus for the Community

Leader Award.

Supporters of Catholic education in St. Albert are hoping that a new foundation will help give students in the separate system more of the tools they need to succeed and thrive.

Recently, a number of community members came together to form the Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools Education Foundation, which aims to raise money to provide students with materials and experiences that go beyond the board’s base budget.

“The purpose of the foundation is to provide an organization through which members of the business community and the community at large can support and

enrich the educational experiences of students in our district,” said Deb Schlag, secretary-treasurer for Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools and one of the foundation’s founding members.

The foundation has not yet been granted not-for-profit status through Revenue Canada and the provincial government, but will seeking such a designation in the very near future.

Right now, the foundation’s board consists of volunteers, including one trustee; between one and three students

from Grade 9 to 12; one community member each from Legal, Morinville

and St. Albert; one community member at large; and one member from the business community.

Once the foundation’s bylaws and structure are in place, they will hold elections for a new board.

“This is a big milestone; we worked very hard to get to this point, and now we’re there,” Schlag said.

“Now we just need to jump through a few hoops to make sure the i’s are dotted and t’s

are crossed.”While most of the specifics on how

the foundation will raise money are a bit further down the road, Schlag said there are a few ideas being bounced around at the moment.

“St. Albert is going to be celebrating 150 years of education in September … so I know our school district is going to be doing a series of events, and I know our foundation is throwing around whether or not they want to do a kickoff event, which will be good for the foundation and for education in general,” she said. “We’re looking at a gala event sometime in September 2014; we’ll see where that goes.”

The foundation is in the midst of building a website at foundation.gsacrd.ab.ca.

A team of University of Alberta engineering students hopes to tear up the racetrack — at 35 km/h.

The U of A EcoCar Team is gearing up for the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas — a worldwide challenge for students to build the most fuel efficient car, running April 24-27 in Houston, Texas — where eight students will put their single-seat, zero-emission, one-kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to the test against 120 schools across North and South America.

Balazs Gyenes is the project lead on the EcoCar Team, which placed second place in 2012 in the Urban Design category.

However, with a few improvements — including a CD touch screen to monitor power and speed — they hope to place much higher this time around.

“We think now that we’ve polished the car off, and we’ve

got some practice and we’ve got a bit more polish we can do a lot better,” said Gyenes.

The hydrogen car goes roughly 35 km/h, and is made out of bio-friendly material, including f lax, hemp, kevlar, and cellulose.

The car emits zero emissions, converting hydrogen into water.

“The point of making this car is to try and make the most fuel effient car we possibly could,” said Gyenes.

Including graduating students, Gyenes estimates around 40-50 people have worked on the car since its inception in 2010.

For Gyenes, the most exciting part about the annual competition is actually checking out the competition.

“It’s really exciting to actually see all the other designs,” said Gyenes. “You don’t realize that you’ve been living in a bubble until you go and you see everyone else’s interpretation of the rules, and the limitations of the competition.”

Teams will race on an Indy-

like street track in downtown Houston. Cars will travel 10 laps and then measure how much fuel is consumed.

The highest score ever achieved at the Eco-Marathon was a French team that travelled the equivalent of driving from Vancouver to Winnipeg on one litre of gasoline.

Quebec’s Laval University was able to have their car travel 1,500 km on a single litre of gasoline. In fact, Canadian schools are recognized as one of the top competing nations.

“Despite the far distances that the Canadian schools have to go, and the extra challenge of tuning the engine — because our weather is completely different than that of Houston’s — so when they go they’ve essentially built a car from blind and are adjusting it last minute to make it work,” said Xia Wu, campaign implementation advisor with Shell Canada.

“Year after year, despite all these challenges, they finish in the top 20 rankings.”

The City of St. Albert has been working with mobile app developer

SeeClickFix since 2012 to create Spruce it Up, the City of St. Albert’s application for all wireless devices.

Spruce it Up allows residents to connect directly with different

departments to report different issues.

✔✔ ✔✔✔✔✔

The City has a communications strategy in place to help keep the

public informed on the app. Though there isn’t a separate budget solely to advertise the app, the City has plans

to advertise the app on its website and provide demonstrations to local

media.

Public demand for increased involvement and transparency in

municipal activities has led the City to re-evaluate its public engagement

tactics. Council was presented with four different requests during Monday’s meeting based on a final

draft of a proposal that was presented.

✔✔ ✔✔✔✔✔

The development of administrative policies and

procedures around improving the City of St. Albert’s Public Engagement activities will be

paramount to guaranteeing the success of the recommendations.

✘✘ ✘✔✘✘✔

✔✔ ✔✔✔✔✔

As part of the Public Engagement Report and Recommendations,

the City is looking to re-evaluate how it informs residents based on

site-specific projects based on a minimum radial requirement for

public information.

Policies and procedures on how to keep residents informed

based on the radius need to be implemented, based on the

Public Engagement Report and Recommendations presented to

city council.

With the recent Erin Ridge school allocation, Coun. Cam MacKay put

forward a motion for the City to look for legal counsel for a second opinion on the current agreement

that delegates authority for allocating sites for schools.

The City is already working on a process review for

Get to know your dental hygienistApril is Dental Health Month and according

to Dr. Frank Neves, of Bright Dental, if you get toknow your dental hygienist on a regular basis. You canavoid getting to know your dentist quite as well. Why?Because regular dental hygiene and good oral health isthe single best thing you can do to avoid having dentalwork done.

“Flossing and then brushing, at least twice a day,in the morning and at bedtime,” states Dr. Neves,

“will almostguarantee youwon’t have tosee me otherthan for acheck-up andquick examonce a year.”

The use of ahydro-f losser

(which is not a water pik) reduces almost all the bacteriain the hard to reach places in our mouths and is muchmore effective than traditional f lossing. The mouth,being warm, dark and moist, is an ideal breeding groundfor bacteria, which can lead to issues like gingivitis,an inf lammation of the gums, to the more seriousperiodontitis, which is actual bone loss. Poor dentalhealth has been linked to diabetes, high blood pressure,heart disease and low birth weight babies Visitinga dental hygienist every six months, combined withf lossing and brushing, can have a very positive impacton your overall health.

Practicing regular oral health throughout yourlifetime can help ensure you will have the “dental tools”you need later in life. The loss of your teeth resulting indentures can mean the loss of up to 50 percent of yourtaste buds and retaining as little as 20 percent of yourchewing capacity.

Hygienists also screen for other health issues such ascancer. By utilizing technologysuch as the Velscope once a year,hygienists can spot abnormalcells that might not otherwisebe detectable. They can alsodetermine if a child mightbenefit from a bonded sealanttreatment for the grooves in thetops of the teeth. Hygienists alsoserve as an excellent resource forpeople trying to stop smoking.

“With the rapid change intechnology in the field of dentistry, we review ourequipment and procedures on an annual basis,” saysDr. Neves. “We can’t be complacent about the toolsand materials we utilize or our own skill set. Ongoingtraining is a must in the field of dentistry in order toprovide proper patient care.”

An activist in California is going to great lengths to shame drivers texting behind the wheel.

Photos featuring distracted drivers caught using their cell phones are plastered on 11 billboards across San Francisco for four weeks each. They can also be viewed on the Texting While in Traffic (TWIT) website — www.twitspotting.com — where anybody can post pictures of drivers distracted behind the wheel.

According to reports, the website was created by graphic designer Brian Singer with the goal of putting an end to distracted driving. Texting while driving is illegal in the Golden State, but continues to be a problem, just like it is in Edmonton.

During a 12-hour shift as a duty officer with the Edmonton Police Service, Insp. Regan James consistently sees people talking and texting on their cell phones while driving. Prior to speaking with Sun Media News Services last week, he pulled over a 20-year-old woman for texting while driving, handing her a $172 fine.

“If I had the time I could write those tickets on the average of one an hour,” said James, who’s seen the impact of poor decisions behind the wheel during

his time in the traffic unit.“I draw the comparison to impaired driving. It is

a frustration for me personally and professionally even more so. It’s one of those things where you have a hard time understanding why people can’t get their head around this.”

The campaign like the one in San Francisco is not one Edmonton police could ever run due to privacy concerns. But James applauds Singer for thinking outside the box to bring attention to the growing problem.

In the meantime, police will continue to advocate for demerits and an increased fines for those who can’t put down their cell phones behind the wheel. Regan can’t understand why there aren’t already any demerits for the offence that

continues to have more and more of an impact on society.

“I think it’s fair to say the current fine structure and the current lack of demerit points for that violation is hampering the efforts that we’re already putting forward,” he said. “We have a generation, a very large generation, who are part of our driving population that communicates via text or email. It’s a big problem.”

2014 Pathfinder

Curtis Labelle isn’t venturing as far into the forest this year.

Last year, Labelle not only directed students from the musical theatre program at Visionary College in their production of The Nightmare Before Christmas, but he also adapted the popular Disney movie for the stage.

This year, though, Labelle has left most of the writing up to the legendary Stephen Sondheim as he directs the students in their production of Into the Woods Jr., which hits the stage at the Cité Francophone Theatre (8627 91 St., Edmonton) from May 8 to 10.

“It’s theatre, so it always requires a whack-load of work,” Labelle said with a laugh. “But we do have a smaller cast this year, and it’s a smaller show. But … we do have an 11-piece orchestra again. The amount of costumes are not as many and all the extra manual labour coming in is not as much.”

Into The Woods brings together a number of fairytale characters into one story, like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and his magic beans. But the main characters are a baker and his wife, who set out into the woods to break a witch’s curse that is preventing them from having children.

Labelle said the story was first chosen for a musical theatre summer camp that never got off the ground.

“It had been done a few times around the area, and I really love the show. I’m a big fan of Stephen Sondheim, and any chance I get to do Stephen Sondheim, I’ll do it,” he said. “He’s a challenge, and I think it’s a great repertoire for the kids in an educational

purpose, for them to learn further on in their craft what they need to do on stage and off stage.”

But, he added, there’s a little something in the show for everybody.

“It’s like SpongeBob Squarepants,” Labelle said. “The kids get it and laugh because it’s a cartoon, but there’s some adult humour in between the text.”

Given that Visionary College has two locations — one in St. Albert and one in south Edmonton — the show has two casts, one from each location.

But Labelle said, despite some being stronger in certain

areas, he is making it work.“I’m absolutely doing everything

twice,” he said. “But both casts are

pulled together to make one show. We’ve double-cast it. For example, Cinderella — when she’s Cinderella one night, the next night, she’s going to be a townsperson, and there’s another Cinderella coming in. The kids get a chance to have two roles rather than just one.”

Plus, he said, the kids have really taken to the show and are having a great time getting ready to put it on.

“They love it — in fact, they’ve added some things themselves that I’m pretty sure, if Stephen Sondheim were here, he’d be like, ‘I don’t know about that!’” Labelle said.

Showtimes for the South Edmonton cast are Thursday, May 8, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 10, at 1 p.m., while the St. Albert cast takes the stage on Friday, May 9, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 10, at 5 p.m.

Tickets to each performance are $20 for adults, $15 for students, and free for kids five and under, and are available through Visionary College at 780-460-4430.

Officials with the Arden Theatre are hoping a new state-of-the-art video production and webcasting system installed in the facility will help it and its artists expand their reach to a global scale.

The system was designed by Edmonton-based Straight Line Video Networks Inc. and features four high-definition cameras placed strategically throughout the theatre. The cameras are robotically controlled by Straight Line off-site, where they are combined with audio from the theatre’s soundboard into a professional-looking product at a fraction of the cost of other production methods.

“First and foremost, it’s value-added service. It allows us to offer something we’ve never been able to offer before,” said Adam Mitchell, cultural facilities manager for the City of St. Albert.

“Plus it ups the quality of our own capability of archiving. And the system itself, we’ve been using for our own intranet broadcasts.”

Steven McRory, president of Straight Line, said the system has been in development for about six years, and while similar setups are being installed in Sherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan, the one at the Arden is first out of the blocks.

“It was synchronicity — the reason I called the Arden first was because it starts with ‘A,’” McRory said with a laugh. “But when I first spoke with them, they had

quite literally just finished a meeting on, ‘How can we provide video services?’ It was the first time I’d ever spoken to anyone about our system — the first time we were confident about speaking to anyone about our system — and it was literally a response of, ‘We were just talking about that. When can we get together?’”

He added that the production of the video happens in real time, and they can start on a moment’s notice.

“We just finished doing a production with video and full multi-track recording, and we had less than 48 hours’ notice,” McRory said. “Frankly, it could have been 48 minutes’ notice, and we would have been fine with that too.”

Mitchell said that he’s seen a lot of demand from artists for this sort of feature.

“(Sunday) night, (singer) Maria Dunn had contacted us looking for the multi-track audio recording. But when she found out we could do it along with video, she was quite happy to engage us,” he said.

And he hopes that continues into the future, as the prospect of artists coming in to shoot live specials becomes more of a reality.

“All of those ideas are things we’ve been bouncing around as possibilities. It’s a bit of a new frontier for us,” Mitchell said. “We’ve talked about engagements where potentially you can expand a single event’s audience to a pay-per-view type of experience, or producing a DVD-quality concert … We can do that.”

This is no stupid pet trick. Davidd Letterman says he’s retiring in 2015.

Letterman made the announcemment at the taping of his show on the afternoon of ThThursday, April 3,in New York, according to many soources. The show aired in its usual time slot that nighht on CBS and OMNI.

Well, Letterman did what he waanted to do in onerespect, which was outlast his “frennemy” Jay Leno, who was bumped from The Tonighht Show earlierthis year. But really, for Letterman,, who turns 67next week, it is well past time.

I am saying this as one of his bigggest fans. I’vewritten this before, but arguably thhe most importantTV show in my life was Late Night t with David Letterman, his edgy and hilarious vehicle which aired from 1982 to 1993.

After NBC bypassed Letterman — against thewishes of Johnny Carson — and gaave The Tonight Show to Leno, Letterman bolted too CBS, where hewhas remained ever since.

Maybe this announcement that he is retiring next year will reinvigorate Letterman foor a victory lap.

The truth is, Letterman in the paast couple of years has been virtually unwatchabble, especially if, like me, you remember how brilliaant he was in hisheyday.

The question, I guess, is whetherr Letterman

decided to leave on his own, or if someone at CBS had a chat with him, so to speak. For publicconsumption, CBS executives such as Les Moonves and Nina Tassler never have expressed anything but 100 per cent support for Letterman. They knew not only that Letterman can be dangerous when he’s mad at his own network, but they also had the repeated examples of uncomfortable late-nightjockeying over at NBC. They wanted no part of that.

It was written by New York Times late-night TV sexpert Bill Carter in one of his books that the only hour of the day Letterman isn’t miserable is the hourin which he’s doing his TV show. But increasingly, that has not been reflected in Letterman’sperformance. So maybe Moonves or someone has been watching Letterman recently and a dialogue began. And with Leno gone, maybe Letterman wasmore ready to listen than he ever has been before.

The jokes began almost immediately on Twitteron Thursday that Leno should be the leading candidate to take over for Letterman. Geez, the realjoke is, Leno probably would do fine in that spot.But Letterman might just keel over once and for all. And this of course assumes that CBS wants to stay in the late-night game, because it wasn’t in it prior to Letterman arriving.

Either way, David Letterman is leaving. He deserves all the praise he is going to get from now until his retirement. Some might see this as a sad thing. But I’m actually glad to hear the news, so Ican remember him the way he was.

Okay, some of these are jokes, but some of them aren’t.

With David Letterman announcing last week that he will be retiring from The Late Show (CBS, OMNI) some time in 2015, speculation has begun as to who might replace him. That assumes, of course, that CBS wants to stay in the late-night game at 11:30 p.m.

One thing to remember about late-night shows is they’re a grind. As great a vehicle as they are, not everyone has the stamina or the desire to do them. Because when you do them, you can do little else. And not many people actually have all the tools to excel in this genre, to be blunt.

Nonetheless, scanning the entertainment horizon, here are some names that came to my mind right away, some plausible, some less so. But the Lettermans of the world don’t leave every

day — or even every decade — so let’s have some fun with this while we can.

He follows Letterman on CBS now, but Ferguson had bigger buzz

five years ago. He has said in the past that he isn’t really interested in replacing Letterman. And Ferguson is 51. CBS may be the “old people’s network,” but

there’s a good chance they might want to

go a little younger.

Many would argue he has the perfect job for his skill set already with The Daily Show. But he has been doing that show since 1999. Time for a change? Then again, he’s also 51.

We all know he’s playing a character on

The Colbert Report, right?

He might be interested, and CBS has poached before, getting Letterman from NBC back in 1993.

There will be a predictable push for a woman

to get the job. And she’s leaving her show on E! But

I can’t really see this one happening.

I like this idea. But I fear she’d never do it.

Again, I fear he’d never do it. I don’t think

he wants to work that hard anymore.

This one actually has a strong ring of possibility to me. The

timing is good, with How I Met Your Mother having wrapped up earlier this week.

The star of Community and The Soup might be a

little too smart-assy for the mainstream late-night masses.

But hey, couldn’t we have said the same thing about Letterman in 1982?

Would the price be right?

She’d have to change up some of her dancing styles for an evening crowd.

This would be the ultimate “f— you” to NBC.

I’m just joking. I think.

Hey Canada, Jeff Probst has bedroom eyes for you.

Probst, of course, is the executive producer and host of Survivor, which literally changed the course of TV history. Currently airing its 28th season on CBS and Global, Survivor continues to be as solid as a rock in the ratings.

Probst was in Toronto last week to speak at an industry event known as “TV Day – Tuned In 2014.” But his presence in Canada also got him pondering the incredible

loyalty Canadian viewers have shown Survivor.

When I suggested the relationship between Survivor and Canada was almost romantic, perhaps even sexual, Probst said, “It is! I’m turned on often when I think of Canada. Aroused, I guess.

“We’ve talked for years about how well the show does here. There’s a kinship that we don’t have with any other country. I mean, I’ll get texts or tweets from South Africa, and they love the show, but it’s not like it is with Canada.”

It’s hard to believe Survivor debuted 14 years ago, in 2000. It has gone from being

the new kid on the block, challenging formats and shifting attitudes, to being one of TV’s absolute staples.

“Well, when you said it, it definitely rang true,” Probst said. “Maybe this year is the year that feels fully realized, because I’m looking at the ratings and we’ve started beating American Idol in the States.

“Now, Idol killed every show in its path for a decade. That show is historic. But as it starts to drop, we’re not. We’re just staying right where we were, because we have a loyal fan base. So it does feel like, wow, Survivor has really survived.”

While I would argue that Survivor, as a

psychological game, ultimately will have more staying power than talent shows, Probst wisely didn’t want to make any proclamations. But to survive, he knows Survivor has to stay on top of things in one crucial area.

“The cast has to be great,” Probst said emphatically. “That’s where we spend most of our time.”

AD{CS5191347}

On the face of it, Kevin Costner is the perfect actor to star in the football-themed Draft Day (out Friday). He has toplined three successful baseball movies (Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and For the Love of the Game) as well as a beloved golf flick (Tin Cup).

So getting the 59-year-old to play the fictitious NFL GM seemed like a genius bit of can’t-lose casting.

But it turns out that Costner’s sports-film pedigree had nothing to do with director Ivan Reitman casting him opposite Jennifer Garner in Draft Day. It was that other thing Costner is known for. You know, his rugged, all-American (sorry Canada) charm.

“The fact that Kevin has done a bunch of successful sports movies is fine,” Reitman tells QMI Agency. “There’s something about the cadence of his voice, the way he looks and the way one trusts and believes him when he speaks. It’s the quality great movie stars through the classic period of filmmaking have had. He’s this iconic American guy that you can follow and know and trust. To me, that’s what makes him perfect for this role … So I went off and got him the script.”

In Draft Day, Costner’s character is GM of the Cleveland Browns, who are coming off a dismal season (sounds like they ripped a page out of real life there). In a bid to put his stamp on the franchise, and save his own skin, Sonny Weaver Jr. attempts to pull off a blockbuster trade to secure the number one pick.

Spoiler alert: Things don’t go according to plan.

“I loved the idea that he made a bad decision,” Reitman says with a laugh. “Here’s a movie star in a sports movie, who starts off by making a terrible mistake… It just seemed like a story that I had never seen before… I loved the pressure on the main character and I loved that combination of the personal stuff and how it affects his professional life.

“It’s a very complicated day for him.”In addition to the make-or-break draft

day, Weaver Jr. is also grappling with his father’s death and the surprising news that he’s going to become a dad.

Reitman, who was raised in Toronto,

didn’t set out to make a football movie. He’s not even a sports-movie fan, he says. “I’ve seen a bunch of them that have made me cry like Hoosiers … But the fascinating thing here is I was able to create a sports event out of negotiations and tension that plays out like a game film without ever stepping on the field.”

After making a name for himself with such comedies as Meatballs and Stripes

in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Reitman found mainstream Hollywood success with Ghostbusters, Legal Eagles, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior and more. Since the 2000s began, he has been less prolific, producing more and ceding the directing spotlight to son Jason (Up in the Air, Juno).

“When I look back at it, I think it’s probably been a mistake,” Reitman says. “I should have directed (more). It’s what I enjoy doing most, and it’s what I like to think I do best… But I’m really proud of Draft Day. I feel like I’ve found my form again even though this is unlike any of the films I’ve done before.”

Reitman got the two leads he wanted for the film (“Kevin and Jennifer were each the first two people I spoke to for those parts”) and made the decision to shoot Draft Day very quickly.

“By the time I got to the end of the script, I knew I wanted to make it. It was a fast decision,

but the speed of the decision gave me confidence.”

Reitman admits that he had a hard time finding his rhythm with some of his recent films, but maintains that 2011’s No Strings Attached (with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher) was a good movie.

“It was better than the reviews and I’m proud of it,” he smiles. “Women seem to like it … men … I think it’s something to do with the actor (Kutcher), that they don’t like him.”

After Draft Day, Reitman has opted not to direct the long-gestating third instalment of Ghostbusters.

“I’m looking for something smaller, on the more personal side, much like Draft Day.”

But he’ll still produce Ghostbusters 3, which is expected to shoot next year.

“It’s a story that plays into the lore and tradition of the original movies,” he says. “I think it’ll be very satisfying to Ghostbusters fans.”

�e average price for a single family home is near its all time high.

Greg Steele, president of the Realtors Association of Edmonton, said competition is �erce for entry-level single family homes.

For some �rst-time homebuyers, the market is pushing them to condo ownership, or to learn some patience.

“We’re in an active real estate market which is balanced and well-behaved,” Steele said.

�e average single-family detached home was $432,458 in March 2014, down 0.2 per cent from month to month, but up three per cent over the year. In May 2007, the average price was around $425,000.

Steele has no fear of a bubble.“Our lending requirements are probably the most

secure in the organized world,” he said.Realtors can notify buyers within seconds of

a home coming on the market through the MLS

system, Steele said.“We’ve had a couple of bidding wars on a couple

of listings that I’ve had, but believe it or not, they weren’t over list price,” he said. “People were quali�ed to a certain level. �ey really liked the property. �ey were within budget. �ey wanted it really bad, but they could not go higher than what it was listed at. I feel sorry for the buyers that didn’t get it, but then they just turn around and look for something else.”

People may look in nearby neighbourhoods when they can’t �nd their ideal spot.

He said the $400,000 to $500,000 range has a series of neighbourhoods that are hot at

the moment in the southwest and west. �e exact neighbourhoods change year to year.

“Our real estate market is morphing, it’s breathing, it’s always transitioning and only your realtor can tell you what’s current right now,” Steele said.

�ere are plenty of new homes with granite, slate and hardwood in the 1,800 to 2,000 square foot range, but those close to downtown feel more pressure.

�e crew at Jack’s Burger Shack is �ipping out for a new business venture just a couple of doors away.

Nathan Pratap, Tu Le and Jen Pulham are the team behind the popular downtown restaurant, which has built up quite a following a�er only seven months in business. Now, they are planning a new full-service pub, Feast and Lounge, for the former Trendy Home space in the same Perron Street complex as Jack’s.

While Le will be designing the menu at the new pub, he’ll still be spending most of his time at Jack’s while Pratap heads up the new project, which they hope to have open sometime in May.

“It’s a comfort type of pub, where you don’t feel like you have to dress up,” Pratap said. “It’s for everybody.”

“We’ll be doing a lot of the things we do over here at Jack’s,” Le added. “It’s two completely di�erent entities, Jack’s and this place, but a lot of the same concepts translate into a pub atmosphere.”

�ey’ll also look to source ingredients from as many local companies as possible.

“I think it’s the only thing that’s lacking (downtown) now,” Pulham said. “�ere’s a little bit of everything, and how you bring people down here. We’ve got more high-end restaurants down here; we’ve got us; we’ve got sandwiches across the street. Why not round it out

with a laid-back pub?”Trendy Home closed last month, and

while the timing wasn’t the most ideal, they decided they had to jump on the space when they had the chance.

“�e last thing we wanted was someone else to jump on that opportunity,” Le said. “�at space is a beautiful space; it was meant to be a restaurant or a pub.”

�e space also comes with second-�oor patio that Feast and Lounge plans

to take full advantage of as summer rolls around.

Over the past few months, the trio have had to hire more sta� for Jack’s, and of course, a bigger, full-service space means even more hirings on the horizon. But Le said they’ll be particular in choosing new sta� who keep up the fun, laid-back feel that people have come to know and love at Jack’s.

“We’re all about the experience,” Le said. “We’re lucky enough that Jack’s is

small and we have the ability to control how everyone experiences our burgers and the experience here. So we’re going to be picky about the sta� we have over there.”

And between Pratap, Pulham and Le, they’re con�dent they can keep things going at both locations.

“�e three of us have worked together for a long time — not only in the Jack’s organization, but we worked together before that. And we’re always on the same page when it comes to decision-making and the quality of the product and dealing with guests,” Le said. “We’re almost like a three-headed monster. If Nate’s there or I’m there or Jen’s there, you’re going to get the same experience and the same product.”

Jack’s Burger Shack opened up in St. Albert last August a�er about a year operating in Slave Lake. �ey were recently named No. 13 in �e Tomato magazine’s Top 100 Best �ings to Eat in Edmonton.

In their time in St. Albert, though, Le said they’ve been blown away at how quickly the community has embraced them and their food.

“Not in our wildest dreams did we think it would take o� like this,” he said. “We’re really just a small family mom-and-pop shop. If you had told me a year ago when we were planning this location that it would take o�, I wouldn’t believe you. �e community of St. Albert has been unreal, and they’ve a�orded us the luxury of being able to expand our horizons with this new venture.”

NABI had an excellent weekend at the St. Albert Lifestyle Expo! It was a great opportunity to meet local citizens, as well as dozens of local businesses. It was a delight to chat with attendees from St. Albert and area, and meet tons of hardworking local business people who hustled all weekend to promote their passions.

It was a long three days, but it was well worth being there. It was one of our first trade show weekends in quite some time, and we had a number of staff who were representing NABI for the first time. Here are the top five lessons we learned from being in the St. Albert Lifestyle Expo this weekend:

1. Have a Plan: This means going above and beyond a schedule of staffing your booth. While that’s a good start, it’s also important to create a plan with your expo team beforehand. Will you be approaching trade show attendees? Is there a giveaway or sale that you’ll be promoting? What about your target demographic? Being an organization that focuses on small businesses, we knew that we wanted to spend time chatting with both attendees and other exhibitors, so we made time for networking.

2. Have a Goal: Setting a goal can be difficult for a first-time exhibitor. Talk to the trade show organizers to find out their expected attendance and keep in mind that most attendees only engage with a few booths. If your goal

is to land 200 new emails, focus on it all weekend. Don’t forget to celebrate on Monday if you reach your goal!

3. Know What You’ll Need: Before you know what you’ll need for the show, first you need to know what you’re selling — what you’re really selling. Those cupcakes might be going like hotcakes at the show, but what you really want is return customers. Put together a one-sheet with the info that your customers will need most, like pricing and how to order. Or better yet, attach a business card to each cupcake.

4. Style and Substance: Having tons of info about your business is great — but no one will ever get to read it if you’ve got a boring booth! Bright colours, product samples, and a professional set-up are just a start. Energetic staff are one of the best parts of a booth — if they’re knowledgeable,

too.

5. Follow-Up: It’s the end of the weekend and you’ve nailed that 200 email signup goal. What now? Don’t delay in reaching out to your potential new customers! The longer you wait, the more they’ll forget about you — and the likelier they are to go with the other cupcake company that contacted them right away.

Alberta Business Incubator.

A lawsuit accusing Lululemon Athletica Inc of defrauding shareholders by hiding defects in some yoga pants that led to a costly recall and caused the retailer’s stock price to fall should be dismissed, a U.S. judge said.

Investors accused Lululemon of failing to disclose how its black Luon yoga pants were too sheer, falsely touting its quality control, covering up an inability to address shortfalls, using deep discounts to boost market share, and concealing plans to replace its then-chief executive, Christine Day.

The case arose after shoppers found that pants containing Lululemon’s proprietary Luon fabric were see-through when worn.

That culminated in a March 2013 recall and loss of roughly $2 billion of market value for the Vancouver, British Columbia-baesd company.

In a draft decision released on Friday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest in Manhattan said statements made by the company, Day and founder Dennis “Chip” Wilson touting the superior quality of Lululemon’s products were “puffery,” and neither intended to mislead nor untrue when they were made.

Laurent Potdevin replaced Day in January as chief executive. Wilson is

stepping down this year as non-executive chairman.

The judge said the investors’ case boiled down to an argument that if Lululemon had only properly tested the pants before selling them, it would have realized that the pants were see-through, and that colors bled when used during exercise.

“We are not yet at a point when an apparel company’s failure to employ testing by live models renders statements touting high quality false and misleading,” she wrote. “It is only reasonable to assume that if Lululemon secretly knew that the (alleged) fix for its quality issues was simply to employ more people to wear its yoga pants and exercise, it would have done so — rather than the alternative of losing $2 billion in market capitalization.”

Forrest also issued a draft decision dismissing two other lawsuits seeking to hold Day, Wilson and 11 other current and former executives and directors liable for damages for ignoring “red flags” about quality control. She said the plaintiffs could try to bring these cases again.

At a hearing on Friday afternoon, Forrest told the shareholders’ lawyers she was “inclined” not to change her rulings, but would review their objections before issuing final decisions.
