COVER

Premier Alison Redford addresses the Northwest Chamber Leaders Conference Monday, which was hosted by the St. Albert Chamber of Commerce over the weekend and attracted business community leaders from Western Canada and the northwest U.S. See story, P. 3.

BY THE NUMBERS

$165,000 That’s how much organizers of last week’s Tim Hortons Brier estimate went to the Canadian, Northern Alberta and Peace curling associations through the 50/50 draws held throughout the round robin and playoff games. That estimate is based on an average of $7,500 per draw going to the house for 22 draws in total. The biggest 50/50 prize of the nine-day event was over $70,000 for the championship final Sunday night between Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs and Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton.

‘We rise or we fall together’ GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Western provinces and states must work together to overcome the economic challenges the future may bring, Alberta’s premier told a room full of business leaders Monday. Premier Alison Redford made the remarks during a speech on the final day of the 2013 Northwest Chamber Leaders Conference, which was hosted by the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce at the River Cree Resort and Casino just west of Edmonton, bringing together business community leaders from across Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. Redford said the need for change now is “clearer than ever” across North America, and it will take a collaborative approach to achieve that change. “We know we can’t go it alone. Our future is a shared one, and our friends and our neighbours in Canada and the [United States] have just as big a role to play,” the premier said. “It’s where we’ve had our greatest successes together.

As free and open economies with strong trade links and even stronger common interest, we rise or we fall together.” Redford also said that both the public and private sectors must be open to new ideas on how to do things if the economy is to thrive in the future. “It’s clear that, as we move forward, we will need to open our minds to some new ideas and some new ways of doing things,” she said. “It’s not always easy; change is uncomfortable. ... We must think differently. We must be competitive. We must be prepared to challenge our conventional approach to building economies, to managing our budget, to diversifying our economy and to educating our children. That is our future standard of living. That is our future economic growth, and that is what is at stake today.” St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Lynda Moffat — who also serves as president of the Northwest Chamber Leaders — agreed with Redford, saying that co-operation between provinces and countries is extremely important.

“The reason this conference is so special ... is because you gain a lot of insight looking at the world through someone else’s eyes,” she said. “And I think the people that come here from the U.S. have the same experience. We’re so happy to be able to host them here.” In her speech, Redford also talked about the provincial budget that came down on Thursday, March 7, saying that the government has searched hard for savings and ways to further reduce the province’s reliance on natural resource revenues while still focusing money on core programs like education and health care. “We view this budget as a once-ina-generation chance to set Alberta on a new fiscally sustainable, less energy-reliant path for the long term,” she said. The Northwest Chamber Leaders Conference, which is being held in Alberta for the first time this year, and said the whole conference had gone very smoothly, including a preconference tour of Alberta’s oilsands that took place on Friday, March 8. “We’ve had such a great conference,” she said. “Lots of really good speakers, really

good discussions, good time for interaction between people from different places.” The St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce is also hosting the conference again in 2014.

Magazine names St. Albert healthiest town in Canada

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

St. Albert’s extensive trail system and summer outdoor farmers’ market have helped the city earn the title of Canada’s healthiest town, according to Reader’s Digest. The venerable magazine announced the winners of its Canada’s Most Interesting Towns contest on its website Tuesday morning, and while Quebec City took the grand prize, St. Albert was named the healthiest town in the country thanks to a submission by resident Sharon McNally.

Mayor Nolan Crouse had not heard of the Reader’s Digest contest before Tuesday, but was glad to see St. Albert top another list indicating quality of life. “I’m always proud — you’re better off to be on those lists than not, because over the long haul, the more good lists you’re on, it means you’re being recognized across the nation or Canada or wherever,” Crouse said. McNally’s submission highlighted the Red Willow Trail system that runs through the city, as well as the city’s many athletic fields and even the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s annual farmers’ market,

“where a bounty of fresh, homemade products and organic fruits and vegetables are available so that we can eat healthy, too.” McNally also nominated St. Albert in the category of Greenest Town in Canada, but that title went to Craik, Sask. Other winners included: Port Hope, Ont., (Best Destination); Bouctouche, N.B. (Most Artistic); Welshpool, N.B. (Most Community Spirit); Chemainus, B.C. (Most Entrepreneurial); and Îles de la Madeleine, Que. (Best Cuisine). More than 370 towns across Canada were nominated in the contest.

Hockey marathon to benefit Uganda GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

In Uganda, it’s unlikely anyone has ever heard of hockey, let alone played it. But, thanks to a local sixth-grader and his big heart, some people in the African nation may benefit from the game. Nolan Reed, who attends J.J. Nearing Catholic Elementary School in Deer Ridge, is busy organizing a marathon 12-hour street hockey game, which will take place on Tuesday, April 9, and raise money for a water tank for the Ainembabazi Children’s Project in Uganda. “I really like hockey, so that was why” he came up with the idea for the event, Nolan said. “And lots of kids in my school like playing hockey.” The tank will be used at a school that is located so high in the hills that water cannot be transported to it. The tank will allow students to collect rainwater during the rainy season and use it the rest of the year. Nolan first heard about the Ainembabazi Children’s Project

through his grandparents, who volunteered there for a month last year. “My grandpa was part of the Ainembabazi Foundation, and he had some really cool ideas. One of the ideas was to raise money for a water tank,” Nolan said. “So I pretty much said that’s the one I wanted to do.” Nolan was also inspired by a trip to Calgary in October for We Day, a conference organized by Free the Children Canada and designed to get young people thinking about social justice and ways they can make a difference in the world. “It was really cool. We learned how anybody can make a difference, and about how many people have helped in this one foundation,” he said. The water tank costs about $2,500. So far, Nolan has raised about half that amount, and he’s confident he’ll reach his goal. Nolan’s mom Danielle is very proud of her son and his efforts so far. “Because my mom and dad are both so involved in volunteering and

have been to Uganda and shown the kids all the pictures, that was a big inspiration to Nolan,” she said. “He and my dad starting talking, so for me, sitting back and seeing the connection between him and my dad was pretty cool, dreaming up all these ideas of what they could do. “When the hockey game idea came up, you could see in both their eyes, it was like, ‘We need to do it.’” The 12-hour street hockey game will take place on the basketball courts at J.J. Nearing, starting at 8 a.m. with the official puck drop by Mayor Nolan Crouse. Special guests throughout the day will include former National Hockey League players and an announcer from an Edmonton radio station. Nolan is still looking for donations from businesses and individuals. Any business that donates $100 or more can have a banner hung from the straw bales that will line the rink. To donate, contact Danielle by email at d_lreed@albertacom.com. For more information about the Ainembabazi Children’s Project, visit www.ainembabazi.org.

Franchise fees level the field

Here’s what people are saying about #StAlbert on Twitter:

@brittbrew

iven the fervour with which taxpayers in St. Albert go after city council to reduce their property tax bills, it’s head-shakingly confusing as to why councillors would not have snapped up a chance to do just that when they had one. It was at the regular meeting of the by Glenn Cook Standing Committee on Finance on Monday afternoon that City of St. Albert staff brought options to the committee — which consists of all seven city councillors — to deal with electricity and natural gas franchise fees. One of those options included raising the natural gas franchise fee from 18.8 per cent to 30 per cent, and the electricity franchise fee from zero to 20 per cent. Such a move could have generated more than $5.5 million in additional revenue for the City each year that wouldn’t have to come from property taxes. However, council instead voted to maintain the status quo. Some councillors argued that the average taxpayer would not realize any savings on the whole, that any amount that was taken off property tax bills would just get tacked on to electrical and natural gas bills as the franchise fees are passed on to the consumer. But if it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other, then why not make the change and charge more in franchise fees? History has proven time and again that St. Albertans fixate on their property tax bills and how high they are; no one ever raves about how low their power bill is here. Plus the franchise fees would be spread over 12 months, as opposed to property taxes that come as one lump sum. Other municipalities in Alberta charge much more in franchise fees than St. Albert does. And if their property tax bills are lower because of it, then councillors are consciously putting the city at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to attracting new citizens and businesses by rejecting this change. Granted, though, the chance is not completely gone. Franchise fees can always be revisited and, as administration pointed out Monday, they can be changed with only 45 to 60 days’ notice. If it comes up again, councillors would be wise to not let it slip by yet again.

I definitely admire people who can run outside in these conditions! The sidewalks are like icy paths of death. #StAlbert

Business must meet challenges head-on

o far, 2013 has been full of personal milestones for me. Not only is my store, Sublime Swim and Sunwear, celebrating its 10th anniversary, but in January, I was sworn in as the volunteer chair of the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce for the year. Of course, my involvement with the Chamber goes back much further than that, but the past two months have given me many opportunities to put my finger on the pulse of the business community, both locally and further afield. One of those opportunities came this past weekend as the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce hosted the annual Northwest Chamber Leaders Conference, bringing together chamber of commerce CEOs, presidents

Today, the biggest challenge facing the St. Albert business community comes not from within city limits, but from around the world. It’s not just about competing with the guy down the street or the guy in Edmonton anymore; you have to compete with anyone who has a website. We have to think about how we’re doing business in a different way. It’s not the way it used to be. But, at the same time, social media and the internet have solidified consumers’ resolve to shop local through things like Jennifer McCurdy’s blog on the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s

City surplus projection down slightly, clocks in at $687,000 GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

A few last-minute adjustments brought the final number down slightly, but the City of St. Albert is still showing a surplus for the 2012 fiscal year. Staff told a meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance Monday afternoon that the City is $687,000 to the good after the books were closed on 2012, which is down slightly from a preliminary projection of $698,466 that was given to the same committee last month.

MPSSCS4670675MPSE

That represents a 0.53 per cent variance on the City’s total approved budget of $128 million. “There were some additional invoices received after our cutoff,” manager of financial operations and reporting Ed Kaemingh told the committee. In total, the City’s operating fund generated $116.6 million in revenue, which is $2.2 million more than was forecasted in the budget. This difference was mainly due to higher sales and user fees for things like lesson and admission fees and engineering services fees, as well as higher-than-

expected government grants. Fines and penalties, however, came in $383,000 under budget. As revenues were up, spending was also down, with operating expenditures clocking in at $99.9 million, which was $837,000 less than budgeted. The City was able to save money on things like insurance premiums and claims and roadway services maintenance contracts, as well as contracts for photo radar, RCMP and transit drivers. Those savings and increased revenues were offset by greater transfers to reserves, transfers to operating and debt

repayments. Those tallied up to $16 million over 2012, up from the budgeted total of $13.6 million. Of the $687,000 surplus, the Standing Committee on Finance recommended that $650,000 of it be transferred to the stabilization reserve fund, keeping in line with council policy. The only other uses the policy allows for surpluses are one-time expenditures or the repayment of outstanding debt. However, many of the loans the City is currently carrying would impose severe penalties for early repayment.

Esks’ coach huddles up for prayer breakfast GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Photo: Sun Media News Services

Edmonton Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed will be the guest speaker at the 2013 St. Albert Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, April 27.

Kavis Reed might be going from flipping pages in the Edmonton Eskimos’ playbook to flipping pancakes in St. Albert next month. The former Eskimos defensive back and current head coach will be in town on Saturday, April 27, for the 2013 St. Albert Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, which will be held at the St. Albert Curling Club. “It’s a great opportunity to really be part of the community and be part of something I hold very true and dear to my heart,” Reed said, “and that’s an understanding of the complete person, the complete man.” Organizers are happy to have landed the Esks’ bench boss. “It was not easy to get [Reed], so I’m pretty excited,” said Pastor Dean Kurpjuweit of Next Christian Community, a member of the St. Albert Ministerial Association, a group of ministers from different churches in the community that has been organizing the breakfast. “He’s a difficult guy to nail down on a date; he’s a busy man. But we’re very pleased he’s able to do this for us.” Mayor Nolan Crouse said he heard Reed speak recently at a prayer breakfast in Leduc, and he was moved by what the coach had to say.

“He was just outstanding,” Crouse said. “He delivered a great message about family and church as he grew up, and he spoke of the importance of building the community through the church and the importance the church played in his family. ... He had lots of good stories and perspective, and was a very engaging speaker. I’m excited to have him here.” Reed was born in Georgetown, S.C., and played with the Eskimos from 1995 to 1999, earning all-star honours in 1997. He then bounced around the Canadian Football League for nine seasons as an assistant coach with Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg before landing the top job with the Eskimos in December 2010. He said there has long been a connection between football and spirituality. “At the end of every game, one of the most rewarding visuals in sports is seeing players from opposite sides of the field, who have gone through battle for 60 minutes plus, come together and have a prayer,” Reed said. “That’s a unifying mechanism in sports; it’s a common bond that’s shared.” Kurpjuweit said Reed’s story is one that should appeal to a wide audience. “He’s got a faith story, a faith journey that I think would be beneficial for the whole community to hear,” Kurpjuweit said. “Because of his profile in the community, but also because of who he is, he’s able to

draw people from right across the Christian dynamic to come hear him, which is sometimes a tricky thing to do. And even people that maybe don’t attend church would be interested in hearing him.” The proceeds from the breakfast will go to the Bridge Fund, a fund set up by the St. Albert Ministerial Association in conjunction with the City of St. Albert’s Family and Community Support Services department and administered by the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village. “We went to FCSS and asked, ‘What’s missing in our community? What’s a gap that the churches could fill in?’” Kurpjuweit said. “We had an hour-long discussion with some of the leaders at FCSS, and what we determined was that there was no real community benevolent fund, no place that someone who’s not part of a church but needs some sort of immediate assistance could go and access cash or a gas card or a food card, whatever it is they need.” “It gives us a place to send people who are in need,” he added, “and it gives them the ability to react to different needs that come through the door. It’s been a win-win all around.” Tickets will be $25 each and available through St. Albert United Church, although details on when they would go on sale had not been confirmed by press deadline.

Incredible women honoured at Women’s Day ceremony

Every year, the Baha’i Community of St. Albert honours remarkable women from St. Albert, Morinville and Sturgeon County and their achievements at their International Women’s Day ceremony. This year’s ceremony was held on Saturday at the St. Albert Curling Club, with five exceptional women being recognized. Here are some excerpts from the biographies of these women from Saturday, courtesy of organizer Elaine Tahririha:

She has worked to raise money for cancer research and awareness for animal rights, as well as volunteering with literacy programs and community celebrations.

Lynne founded the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation, with the goal of starting a women’s shelter in Sturgeon County. While this has not been realized yet, Lynne is working hard to make it a reality and ensure no one else has to go through what her daughter did.

In total, the foundation presented cheques worth more than $400,000 to 43 charities that do work in the Capital Region.

Some councillors worried that any increase in franchise fees would just get passed on to the consumers. “One way or the other, it’s still the residents or the businesses paying,” Coun. Len Bracko said. But others felt that the corresponding decrease in property taxes would make up for that, and help mitigate St. Albert’s reputation of having high taxes when compared to municipalities that charge higher franchise fees. “The most important thing to me is the consistency and comparability among the region and the province,” said Coun. Cathy Heron, who along with Coun. Wes Brodhead voted against the status quo motion. “I’m really tired of hearing we’re the second-highesttaxed municipality in Alberta when it’s not a true comparison, and this will bring us closer to apples to apples.” If the City charged an electrical franchise fee of 20 per cent, that could result in nearly $4.3 million in revenue, and could reduce property taxes by 5.77 per cent. Raising the natural gas franchise fee from 18.8 per cent to 30 per cent could bring in an extra $1.37 million in revenue, which would equate to a 1.85 per cent property tax decrease.

Brier brings $20M to Edmonton economy KEVIN MAIMANN

The chairman of the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier says the nine-day curling event will bring more than $20 million to Edmonton. Mark Johnson did not have final attendance numbers Sunday afternoon, but expected totals to approach 200,000. He estimated one quarter of the fans came from out of town. “I know they’ve done studies on previous events, and you’re looking at about $18 million to the local community just from people coming into the city,” Johnson said. “The (overall) economic impact of the Brier in general is over $20 million.” Johnson said Edmonton always does “extremely well” with the Brier compared to other cities, although attendance was down from the last time our city hosted the event in 2005. That year’s Brier set a record, drawing nearly 282,000 fans. Johnson noted the 2005 Brier took place during an NHL lockout when there was no hockey to compete for sports fans’ wallets,

and said walk-up numbers could have been higher this year if hometown favourite Kevin Martin had made the playoffs. City councillor Kerry Diotte said the Brier’s boost to Edmonton’s image is just as important as the economic spin-off. Diotte,

who attended a semifinal game last week, said he was especially impressed by the entertainment and lively atmosphere in the Brier Patch. “Everyone I talked to there said Edmontonians are so friendly. So it’s a good

shot not just to the economy, but to our image. It shows that once again, we put on the best events in the country,” he said. “Whether it’s the Grey Cup, whether it’s the World Championships in Athletics, World Figure Skating Championships, nobody outdoes us when it comes to that. We know how to organize and we know how to party.” Coun. Ben Henderson, who also attended matches at Rexall Place last week, said the Brier has been “a big success.” “A lot of people are coming into town for the full week and a half, so that’s got to have significant economic benefit for hotels, for restaurants, for shopping,” he said. “This is such a big curling town.” Johnson said everything went smoothly behind the scenes as well, thanks in no small part to a crew of more than 1,100 volunteers. “The feedback that we’re getting from players and everything else is all really positive, along with the Canadian Curling Association. So we’re quite pleased with the way things went,” he said.

Lego earns fan trip to Brier KEVIN MAIMANN Sun Media News Services

A Nova Scotia curling fan turned his expensive hobby into a free trip to the Tim Hortons Brier. David MacDonald brought his five-bythree-foot Lego Brier replica to the Brier Patch for the nine-day curling tournament that wrapped up Sunday at Rexall Place. He started building the rink in 2010 and unveiled it at Nova Scotia’s 2012 Player’s Championship. Someone made a Youtube video of MacDonald’s creation, and before he knew it, he was traveling the country. “Capital One got wind of it. They called me up and said, ‘We’d love to feature you at our booth, would you like to go to the Continental Cup in Penticton?’ So I was there in January, and then they asked if I

would go to the Scotties and the Brier too,” MacDonald said. “It’s awesome. It’s crazy. I’ve never been to a curling event this big.” When he travels, MacDonald deconstructs the rink’s 6,000 pieces and packs them into Ziploc bags, then takes several hours to reassemble them. He’s gotten more than his money’s worth for the pricey undertaking, which is made with $2,100 worth of Lego. “They flew my girlfriend and I both out here to the Brier. It’s definitely paid off. And I didn’t really do it for that reason; I did it mostly just for something to pass the time in the winter,” MacDonald said. “It’s really cool that it created an opportunity. I had never been to British Columbia or Alberta, so it was cool to fly across the country for the first time.”

Authors to reflect on road trips during visit to library GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Unlike most childhood road trips, Curtis Gillespie and Conni Massing won’t be fighting over whose side of the car the other is on or whose CD gets to go in the stereo — hopefully. Gillespie and Manning have both recently released books on road trips, and they’ll both be at the St. Albert Public Library for readings and question-and-answer period on Saturday, April 13, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Gillespie’s book, Almost There: The Family Vacation Then and Now,

recounts both the road trips he took with his parents as a child, as well as the ones he has taken over the years with his own wife and daughters. It is a tribute to the family vacation that shows they have value beyond being fodder for stories of what went wrong. The Edmonton author has penned four other books — The Progress of an Object in Motion, Someone

Like That, Playing Through, and Crown Shyness — is the editor and co-founder of the magazine Eighteen Bridges, and has won numerous awards for his fiction and non-fiction writing, including three National Magazine Awards. Meanwhile, Massing — already an awardwinning writer for film, theatre, television and radio — published her first

book, Roadtripping: On the Move with the Buffalo Gals, in 2010. It tells the tale of a group of men and women who head out on a weekend road trip to see some of Alberta’s most famous — and infamous — tourist attractions in 1999, a trip that becomes an annual tradition where the group explores friendship along with Alberta’s natural beauty. The visit will be hosted by the library’s writer-in-residence Natasha Deen. Those interested in attending are asked to register in advance by calling the library at 780-459-1682.

‘Checking out’ career options at library event GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Over the years, the St. Albert Public Library has branched out beyond books into lending out things like CDs, DVDs, audiobooks and even video games. But next month, they’re going even further and lending out humans — sort of. On Wednesday, April 3, the library is hosting its first-ever Living Library event, where students from age six to 18 will have the chance to “check out” various professionals for 15-minute periods as they look for advice for planning out their own future careers. Drew Thomas works in the library’s children’s section, and said that kind of advice can be instrumental in helping set a course for young people. “I usually work with kids from one to six, but when we started working on this, I was like, we really need to get the teen department involved in this, because they’re are going to be kids trying to decide what they’re going to do for university, and how great would it be for them to talk to an optometrist and find out how school went, what order things went in,” he said. “You can look this stuff up online, but it is nice to talk to someone who has been through it.” Some of the various professions that will be represented during the Living Library include a playwright, a musician, a pilot, a lawyer, a plumber, a farmer, a police officer and even Mayor Nolan Crouse. Thomas said that other libraries have been hosting Living Library events for a few years now, but most of those have been geared toward adults. “It was just a way for people to learn other people’s experiences and to be able to understand them the way they would if they were able to take out a book and give it a read,” he said. “We thought, what if we could apply this for

kids? What if the kids who want to ask questions to a doctor or a dentist had the opportunity to? It sort of grew from there.” When young people “check out” the professionals for 15 minutes at a time, Thomas envisions it being more of an open questionand-answer session than a formal, structured presentation. “The only thing we’re really going to be rigid about is the time,” Thomas said. “You get 15 minutes with this ‘book,’ but at that point, you do have to move on to the next one. You have to give that book back so someone else can check it out.” And he hopes it goes well enough and is popular enough to become an annual event that could bring people into the library who don’t come in very often. “If the first one is successful and we hear feedback from parents and students that it was helpful, it makes it easier to make it more of an annual thing than anything,” Thomas said. “The idea that this could be a once-a-year thing is really exciting.” Those who wish to participate in the first Living Library event can register at the library starting on Thursday, March 21.

Boonstock unveils rockin’ lineup GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Boonstock is ready to rock once again this summer. The annual music and arts festival, which is held just outside the town of Gibbons and is now in its ninth year, announced Tuesday the lineup that will be hitting the stage from June 27 to 30. The first couple of nights will feature mostly electronic music, including the Boonstock Kickoff Party on Thursday, June 27, which boasts DJ BL3ND and Torro Torro as headliners. The bass will keep bumping into the next night, with acts like Eric Prydz, Sebastian Bach, Dirty South, Five Alarm Funk and SIIINES — featuring St. Albert natives Travis Nesbitt and Morgan Gies, both formerly of the band Social Code — hitting the stage on Friday, June 28. Rock music takes over on Saturday, June 29, with ’90s rap-metal band Limp Bizkit and hard rock veterans Godsmack taking the top billing.

The St. Albert flavour also continues Saturday with Tupelo Honey playing earlier in the day. Electronic fans will still be able to get their fix, though, with DJ Benny Benassi playing a third headline set. After playing the festival last year, Knife Party returns on Sunday, June 30, to take one of the headlining spots, along with Sublime with Rome. There will be a Celtic influence on the day as well, as Boston’s Dropkick Murphys will also be hitting the stage. A full lineup can be found online at www. boonstock.ca. That’s also where you can get tickets for the festival, along with calling the Boonstock ticket hotline at 780-474-3232 or 1-877-5697767. General admission passes are $239, while Mile High VIP packages are $339 each and include a $25 gift card for the merchandise tent, complimentary pancake breakfasts and three free showers.

P.J.’s Stock rising in fitness post-NHL

CARY CASTAGNA

Photo: Sun Media News Services

Sun Media News Services

Hockey fans familiar with retired NHLer P.J. Stock will remember that he was much more likely to drop the gloves than light the goal lamp. For those unfamiliar with the gritty leftwinger from Montreal, a cursory glance at his career totals reveals all the background info you need to know. Stock scored five goals in 235 NHL games, while racking up 523 penalty minutes. Yes, it was sheer grit that helped Stock break into the big show. And it was his passion for fitness that kept him there for eight seasons. “When I made it to the National Hockey League, my skill set was probably not at the top of the list of what I could bring to the table,” the 37-year-old Hockey Night in Canada panelist tells Sun Media at a recent press event introducing Reebok’s new Training collection. “I relied on energy to be able to compete with those guys that were much better than me. And the way I was able to do that was to make sure I was in better shape than all of them.” But for Stock, it was a labour of love. “I’ve always been in love with fitness,” he adds. “It has been a passion of mine.” Of course, his fitness regimen has evolved significantly over the years — especially on the nutrition side. “The diet of a hockey player when I was playing was pizza, spaghetti, beer,” laughs Stock, who played with the New York

From his National Hockey League career to his appearance on CBC’s Battle of the Blades, P.J. Stock’s love of fitness has served him well. Now he has signed on with Reebok Canada to help promote its new Training collection.

Rangers (1997-2000), Montreal Canadiens (2000), Philadelphia Flyers (2000-2001) and Boston Bruins (2001-2004). “It’s so different now. The training, the diet, it has completely changed.” Stock points to an old-school, muscleisolating machine such as the pec deck to illustrate the progress made in the fitness industry not only in workout apparatus but also in training philosophy. “The pec deck, those days are gone. It’s a whole new way of training, a whole new

thought process,” he explains. “As a hockey player, I was training completely different. I was eating completely different. And now I’m living a life where I know better, I train differently and I’m hopefully helping other people do the same.” Stock, a muscular 200 pounds at five-foot-10, is part owner of a gym in Montreal called Adrenaline Performance Centre. The training facility’s high-profile

clients include Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Kris Letang, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Benoit Pouliot, Calgary Flames winger Jiri Hudler and UFC welterweight Rory MacDonald. The gym is also open to the public. “Just because you’re not a professional athlete, why can’t you train like them? That’s the philosophy behind the gym,” Stock says, noting the facility is composed largely of functional-training equipment. The one-time competitor on the reality TV show Battle of the Blades urges new clients to be patient. “The hardest thing is when people start working out, they expect to see immediate gains,” he says. “Don’t get frustrated. It takes time. Set yourself some achievable goals and grow with them. And just push yourself.” Stock also advises clients not to neglect their nutrition because, by his estimates, that’s 90 per cent of the fitness equation. “Diet is so important,” he notes. “I’m not going to tell anyone you’ve got to just eat kale and salmon. You’ve got to make sure you enjoy life. At the same time, you have to understand that if you want to train a different way, there are sacrifices you have to make to make sure that you’re living healthy in the long run.” That’s where the passion comes in. Earlier this year, Stock signed on as an endorsee of Reebok Canada’s new Training collection. The company’s current campaign slogan, “Live With Fire,” has struck a chord with Stock. “You’ve got to live your life that way,” he says. “I do it in everything.”

Access to medical marijuana sparks debate among doctors

ALLISON SALZ Sun Media News Services

Changes to the way Canadians access medical marijuana has sparked conversation amongst docs in Alberta. Federal legislation tabled late last year would remove Health Canada from its role in deciding the fate of medical marijuana applications, leaving it to doctor discretion. Under the new rules, the dried marijuana can be purchased from a pharmacist, a licensed producer, or directly from their doctor. Physicians would be allowed to sell, provide or administer marijuana as long as they were compliant with regulations like labelling and dosage restrictions.

This poses great concern to some on the council of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA), as noted in a report presented to council Friday. Among their concerns, that physicians would be asked to provide a prescription for a substance for which they feel there is no scientific evidence of effectiveness. “I think it’s time to nip it in the bud, so to speak. I think it was a mistake that medical marijuana was approved in the first place,” said member Kate Wood, referring to the government’s own admission that scientific studies have not demonstrated that marijuana is safe and effective for medical use.

“I feel like there will be a lot of people running to the doctor to get their prescription.” Canadian courts have found that individuals who “need” marijuana for medical purposes have a right to reasonable access, reads the report. “The concern I have, if I say I don’t prescribe it because I don’t feel comfortable, will a complaint be filed?” said member Dr. Keith Brownell. “They should just legalize it like alcohol then.” Patients can currently access medical marijuana through a grower designated by Health Canada or by getting licensed and growing it themselves. Under the new regulations, marijuana would only be available

from commercially-regulated growers. Vice-president James Stone expressed concern with doctors doling out weed in their offices. “I think the prescriber shouldn’t be a dispenser, that creates conflict,” Stone said. Sister colleges in Ontario and Quebec have indicated that they plan to prohibit the prescription of marijuana by doctors, notes the report. Council put the matter over to their next meeting for further discussion. There are currently 22,000 authorized users of medical marijuana across Canada.

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Officials at the Enjoy Centre are hoping for lasting inner peace after finding a new tenant for their spa and yoga studio space. The Wellness Within Health and Learning Centre will open Friday in the space formerly occupied by both The Water Garden Spa and Wellness Retreat and Jardin Yoga and Spa, and the new tenants have agreed to honour gift cards and yoga passes issued by previous tenants until July. “We are eager to have health and spa services part of the Enjoy Centre experience again,” said Bill Hole, co-owner of Hole’s and the Enjoy Centre, in a press release issued Monday. “Wellness Within has an exceptional reputation and wealth of talent. We hope our customers will be as excited to welcome them as we are.” Wellness Within is owned by St. Albert’s Caroline Riske, who has been operating in Edmonton’s west end for the past seven years. “My husband, Michael, and I grew up in St. Albert and are looking forward to returning to our roots and giving back to the community,” Riske said in the same press release. Wellness Within will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The spa will offer massage therapy, naturopathic medicine, hypnotherapy, yoga and fitness classes, esthetics and wellness education programs. Yoga passes from previous tenants may be used at Wellness Within for any drop-in class from April to July. Clients with gift certificates may use portions of them to pay for up to half of the service they are purchasing per visit until July 31. Appointments for these services may be booked between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. The space was occupied by The Water Garden from the time the Enjoy Centre until August 2012, when the lease with Health Hub Holdings was terminated due to non-payment. Health Hub Holdings also had leases for the restaurant and bakery in the facility, and those businesses were subsequently taken over by the Hole family. Jardin operated in the space until January 2013. For more information, visit www.wellnesswithin.ca.

STALBERTJOBS.COM ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENTS

Balance leaps with small steps

Sun Media News Services

• Before you start interviewing, work through any anger, resentment, and low self-confidence with a coach or trusted friend.

“A single experiment that succeeds can transform our lives for the better in a way that a failed experiment will not transform them for the worse.” — Tim Harford

• Prepare and practise so that you don’t falter or turn purple from anger or resentment during the interview.

TIM RYAN

We’re often encouraged to experiment and try new things, particularly early on in our careers. Tim Harford, whose book Adapt explores the critical role failure plays in any success, argues that we need to balance our need for “wild leaps” with “small steps” to create the best environment to experiment. He refers to an economic term “disciplined pluralism” proposed by John Kay in The Truth About Markets that’s used to describe how markets work. Harford defines “disciplined pluralism” as “exploring many new ideas but ruthlessly cutting down the ones that fail, whether they are brand new or hundreds of years old.” While Kay was referring to economic systems, Harford argues that there’s much that can be applied from this to our own careers. We know that pluralism and diversity are important elements in making serendipitous connections. When we become overly regimented in our routine or parochial in our interests, we miss out on making other important connections and experiences that we never knew existed. Therefore, they’re essential to making what Harford refers to as “wild leaps.” A wild leap is an event that seemingly comes out of nowhere but whose impact is significant — think of the colleague who quit her job to start her own business or the friend who left the city to live in the rainforest in order to study local tribes. As a society we’re very focused on wild leaps and celebrate those who undertake them. There’s any number of examples of precocious talents who’ve made these leaps, often very early in their careers. For example, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone at the ripe old age of 28 and Michelangelo completed some of his greatest works of art between the ages of 24 and 33. However, “disciplined pluralism” calls for a measure of discipline, too. It’s unrealistic to approach everything as a wild leap, and for every artist, writer, or business person who’s had success with a wild leap there’s at least as many who have refined their craft over a number of years — think of Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours rule. For example, Mark Twain, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Joseph Haydn all completed some of their most celebrated works after the age of 40. They took the “small steps” approach to improve and adapt, with much the same result. Explore as much as you can, while ruthlessly discarding the ideas and experiments that don’t work. Then repeat.

• While job searching, begin your day by making a mental list of things you appreciate and are thankful for. • Before an interview, make time for physical exercise to give yourself a boost of energy. • During the entire interview process, act and speak positively as if this is your ideal dream job.

Attitude can make or break interviews JOANNE RICHARD Sun Media News Services

Go in with a bad attitude and you can bet on an unhappy ending. “A big, bad attitude will huff and puff and blow any chance of success!” says communication expert Lisa B. Marshall. Anger, arrogance, resentment and even low self-confidence are sure-bet interview busters. When it comes to deciding between job candidates that are equally skilled, attitude is almost always the deciding factor. “Attitude can make up for deficiencies in skill sets,” says Marshall, author of Smart Talk and host of The Public Speaker podcast. “Some organizations, for example Southwest and ING Direct, follow the mantra ‘hire for attitude, train for skill,’” she says, adding that “many managers would much rather hire someone with the right attitude — one

that is a good fit for the culture — and then train missing skills.” Organizations can’t afford to hire — or keep — “bad apples,” she says, adding that your attitude affects your perspective and ultimately your success. Attitude impacts everything: creativity, retention, competition, stress, teamwork, morale and productivity, says Marshall, of lisabmarshall. com. Unfortunately negative attitudes have an upper hand over positive attitudes, adds the communication coach. Research indicates that in the workplace you need at least three positive interactions to make up for every one negative interaction. According to the author, “genuinely happy positive attitude enables you — and those around you — to innovate, take risks, communicate, and have confidence.” Teams with positive

people are more productive, creative, enjoy healthy competition and good morale, adds Marshall. “People are attracted to positive people so you are more likely to get special assignments, put on high profile projects, promotions, raises, etc.”

• During the interview, Increase the number of times you flash a genuine smile (think of someone or something that makes you smile). • Get over yourself. Look forward, not backward. • If you are asked why you left your last jobs, don’t vent. • Don’t devalue yourself. Identify and believe in your own strengths and experiences. • Be confident but not arrogant
