My name is Maggie Raftery and I have been part of the SAIF team since October 2009. I am the Office Administrator and the Volunteer Coordinator for SAIF. I moved to St Albert from the UK in 2004 after working as a London Police Officer (yes I was a London Bobbie!) for 24 years. I specialized in supporting victims of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assaults. I was drawn to working at SAIF after hearing about the work they did with victims of domestic abuse and wanted to utilize some of my previous skills. As Volunteer Coordinator I am involved with recruitment, retention, and recording of all our volunteers. Our volunteers are in fact the “back bone” of SAIF, as without them there could be no SAIF Society. Our volunteer positions range from Board members, office support, community “END the Silence. STOP the Violence.” is the continued theme of education to fundraising.

A young St. Albert girl has seen her chances of beating a rare form of leukemia jump dramatically after receiving a bone marrow transplant earlier this month. It was in August when the family of Halle Popowich, now 6, first put out their pleas for donors in hopes of finding a match. Three short months later, Halle underwent her transplant on Nov. 8 in Calgary, and her chances of surviving acute myeloid leukemia went from between five and 20 per cent to almost 60 per cent. “We’re optimistic that this is the last treatment that she needs,” said Halle’s dad, Kurt. With the transplant comes a sense of relief, Kurt added, knowing that the donor was willing and that Halle has a much better shot. “It’s a huge relief to have a donor, obviously, and to have that chance for Halle,” he said. “We just feel so grateful. The doctors and nurses have been so good

here in Calgary and taken good care of her. I can’t say enough; as a parent, you feel so much relief to be in good hands and have this opportunity.” Halle isn’t quite out of the woods yet, though; doctors are still monitoring her condition closely, and she’ll likely stay in Calgary with her mother, Deana, for two to three months before she’s given the all-clear to come home to St. Albert. “It’s one of those things that’s day to day. There are so many things that can happen, and they’re monitoring everything really closely,” he said. “But she’s doing as well as expected so far, and that’s good news. We’re pleased things are progressing. ... It could be hour to hour, day to day, because things can crop up very quickly, and that’s why they have to monitor her so closely.” While Halle is coping well in the aftermath of the transplant, so too is the rest of the family, Kurt said, including Deana and their son Chase, who just started Grade 2 in September. “There are some late nights and

long days, those sorts of things,” he said. “But so far, everything has been as expected. I think everyone’s doing fairly well right now.” But, even though they can see the light at the end of the tunnel, Kurt said the family still wants to push for as many people as possible to sign up for Canadian Blood Services’ OneMatch stem cell and marrow network even after they’ve put this bout with leukemia behind them. “The result of Halle getting a donor may have been from people previously that have made those types of public notices or trying to make awareness to this cause, to get people to consider putting themselves on the registry and becoming donors,” he said. “I think, absolutely, bringing awareness to this and just having people be open to the fact they can save someone’s life with just a donation of bone marrow is amazing, so we’d be more than happy to encourage that and provide as much awareness as we can to do our part to help anybody else in our situation.”

One of those is eight-year-old Logan Wice, who had the opportunity to address the crowd at the ceremony. “I would like to thank everyone who helped build the houses. They are very nice,” he said. “I am excited for all the families moving in. I know I’ll meet lots of great friends.” Meanwhile, Sylvia Evasiw said that she and her daughter Taylor will have their lives changed forever because of their new home. “Each one of us has a story, and to try to tell them all would take too long, but we are all extremely thankful to be given this opportunity,” she said. “Mere words cannot express our gratitude. Our lives will be so much more fulfilled.” St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse was also on hand for the ceremony, enthusiastically welcoming the families to their new homes and praising not only the families and the volunteers, but also the development’s neighbours and other community members who stood up for it and helped build it. “You were the silent majority that came in here with your hammers and your nails — it doesn’t matter what you did. You walked onto this site and made sure that eight families could move in today and have Christmas at home,” he said. Nikolai said that, weather depending, he expects to have a key ceremony for 12 more units in Aurora Place before Christmas, and construction will continue on the remaining 10 over the winter.

A local family is being recognized by the City of St. Albert for how much they have given back. To mark National Philanthropy Day Friday, the City announced that the Hutchinson family — Ralph, Janet, Tally, Casey and Dallas — were the winners of the annual St. Albert Philanthropy Award, which recognizes generosity in terms of direct financial support as well as community spirit. “It’s a great honour,” Tally said. “We’re extremely humbled by this.” Tally added that they don’t do charitable work for the recognition, so the award was a surprise. “Our parents have worked hard over the years, and it’s something they’ve instilled in us,” he said. “We’ve carried on those responsibilities. Its something we do every day.” The Hutchinsons are the owners of Daytona Homes Master Builder in St. Albert, and were recognized not only for the company’s involvement in the community, but also their encouragement of their employees to give back. “The Hutchinsons have shown real leadership in demonstrating that it is people who make a difference, and business leaders can apply, if they choose, the significant human and financial equity they have created in a company for the betterment of a community,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release. The family and Daytona staff have donated time and money to a wide variety of community groups, including Habitat for Humanity, Servus Credit Union Place, minor hockey and soccer, the St. Albert Ringette Association, the Sturgeon Community Hospital Foundation and the Environment Club at Neil M. Ross Catholic School. The award will be presented to the family in May during Daytona’s annual fundraising barbecue. Past recipients of the St. Albert Philanthropy award include the Jenkins family (2011), Ash Khan (2010) and Dan Roy (2009).

A natural gas leak Tuesday closed three businesses for the day, but didn’t put any people in danger. The leak happened around 9:15 a.m. Tuesday when excavation crews working at 525 St. Albert Tr. hit a gas line. There was a strong smell of gas in the area, but there was no danger to the public. Riverside Honda, RONA and the St. Albert Bowling Centre were evacuated as a precaution. Even though ATCO crews successfully shut off the gas leak at around 1:15 p.m., those businesses stayed closed for the day as it would take several hours to restore gas service. Inglewood Drive was also closed from Lennox Drive to Boudreau Road as a precaution. Ç >C<EE :FFB

The second phase of construction for a local seniors care facility got the green light to go ahead from St. Albert city council on Monday afternoon. Councillors voted unanimously to issue a development permit and allow the construction of the second phase of the Rosedale assisted living complex at 20 Hebert Rd., contingent on a number of conditions. “I think this is an ideal fit for St. Albert with our aging population and our needs,” Coun. Len Bracko said. “... Having these two phases together increases efficiency for the owner and also assists our densities for the Capital Region Board.” The development will be four stories tall and consist of 52 units. The first phase was approved by city council in 2008, and included 148 units. “Our waiting list is currently 187 people, and 75 per cent of them are from St. Albert,” said Lorenzo Clonfero, a representative of Rosedale Partnership, owners of the facility. “Because of the affordability of our project, we just saw the need to expand.” While no one was in city council to register their objections with the plans, there was some resistance in the form of a written submission from a neighbour in the area who did not want to see any more development. “I was born and raised in St. Albert and [have] seen much change over the years. One of the largest reasons I stayed here and purchased my home was the clear and open views the city has,” wrote Dustin Lafleur, who also cited reflected sound and issues around other high-density construction projects in the area in recent years. “Also please note constructing that building will remove all privacy from my backyard, something I extremely value.” Lafleur suggested that, if the permit were to go through, that grading and facade guidelines be put in place to keep the development in line with existing structures in the area, and that the building be kept at least 15 feet from the sidewalk, have a stylized fence and have trees installed for privacy along the north side of Hebert Road. An open house was held by the developer on Oct. 30, but the feedback from that meeting was not available to forward to council in time for Monday’s meeting. Coun. Cam MacKay noted that there had been some concerns about large delivery trucks accessing the Rosedale facility currently, but Clonfero said they had worked out with their supplier to make two deliveries in smaller trucks, and expected that arrangement would continue in the future.

The ongoing rehabilitation of the Little White School got a big boost from the federal government last week. On Wednesday, Nov. 14, prior to the Arts and Heritage Foundation’s annual general meeting, Edmonton-St. Albert Conservative MP Brent Rathgeber announced $60,415 in funding from the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund, which will go toward work like waterproofing the basement and refurbishing walls and flooring. “Local heritage sites are often the jewels of communities across the west ... [and] attract visitors to our community, instill a sense of pride in local residents and help create tourism opportunities,” Rathgeber said. Interestingly, the school only cost $22,000 when it was first built sometime between 1946 and 1948. The building is no longer used for dayto-day teaching, but student groups visit year-round to get a glimpse of school life in years gone by. Recently, some major renovations were done on the building, including an addition to the back to house a wheelchair-accessible elevator, and the refurbishment of the basement to convert storage areas and add a wheelchairaccessible washroom. “The Little White School recognizes, in a practical and active manner, the remarkable sacrifice of St. Albert families, both at home and abroad, in the

espite evidence to the contrary that seems to mount everyday, it’s safe to say that good things still happen to good people. Halle Popowich and her family are prime examples of that. Six-year-old Halle underwent a bone marrow transplant earlier this month as Yp >c\ee :ffb part of her treatment for a rare form of leukemia, increasing her chances of survival from between five and 20 per cent to upward of 60 per cent. It’s a development that has given her family not only a sense of relief, but also more hope that they’ll be able to see their daughter grow up happy and healthy. But, while it seems like a happy ending, the story doesn’t end there. Doctors will have to monitor Halle very closely for the next couple of months, and she and her mother will be spending those months in Calgary, away from her St. Albert home and the rest of her family. And the story doesn’t end for those of us who have been following Halle’s ordeal. The response when her story broke in August was overwhelming, with people taking to social media to lend their support in any way they could. And one way most people could help was to sign up for Canadian Blood Services’ OneMatch stem cell and marrow network. While most people hoped that they would be the one to be Halle’s match, given the timing of everything, it’s not likely that anyone who signed up after hearing about Halle was her match; her donor was likely already in the system before her need was evident. But the fact that a match was found for Halle doesn’t mean the need isn’t there anymore. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of patients out there — young and old, male and female — who are just as much in need as Halle was. To stop signing up for OneMatch or other services because that local, emotional connection is no longer there is doing a disservice to others in need. Even though it may not help Halle anymore, there are still plenty of good reasons and good ways to help others in need. That way, more good things can happen to more good people.

ast week in St. Albert, I was pleased that my colleague Jeff Johnson, Minister of Education, could join me for an afternoon speaking with students, teachers, parents and trustees from St. Albert Public, the Greater St. Albert Catholic and the Greater North Central Francophone Districts. Both École Sir George Simpson School and École AlexandreTache School opened their doors to give us a tour of their respective schools. It is reassuring to see that trustees, administration, teachers and parents alike are all advocating hard for the needs of the students in their school districts in our city. Education is a top priority of this government as well, and collaboratively, we can all work for the greater good

After 41 years, Alberta has one of the best education systems in the world, and this is due to the importance everyone places on education in our province. In recent weeks, you may have heard in the news that Premier Alison Redford has been splitting the budget into infrastructure versus operating budget, with no deficit in the operating budget projected.

My colleague Doug Horner Finance Minister and MLA for Spruce Grove-St. Albert, along with other members from my caucus across the province, have been hosting financial open houses to hear from Albertans who have said they support an infrastructure debt to finance much-needed hospitals, water systems, roads and, of course, schools in our province. Our government has always said we would build for the future and our fiscal plan

signaled that, in consultation with Albertans, we would look at the appropriate use of borrowing for capital. Alberta’s triple AAA credit rating means low borrowing costs, saving money in the long run. Budget 2013 will have a balanced operational plan that will reflect the priorities of Albertans, a funded capital plan and a saving plan.

The former St. Albert Steel and the City of St. Albert are all squared up. The Steel delivered a cheque to the City for $129,000 on Wednesday, Nov. 14, clearing up the outstanding balance the Alberta Junior Hockey League club owed for dressing room renovations at Servus Credit Union Place. “I am pleased that the team’s exit has been completed without financial loss to the City and we can move forward,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release. “The City is now accepting proposals from stakeholders who are interested in making Northstar Hyundai Arena their home.” The club moved to Whitecourt and was rechristened the Wolverines in May. At

the time, the club owed the City $100,000 in relocation fees in addition to the money for the dressing room renovations, which was paid on time. The dressing room charges were initially due on Aug. 31, and Crouse had even mused about getting a court injunction to keep the team from playing if the bill wasn’t paid. The $229,000 paid by the Steel will go into a reserve account, for which city manager Patrick Draper is working on a terms of reference for its long-term use. Possibilities include using the money for a study on an events hosting strategy or a “granting program for unique and significant community events.” Last month, the City also put out a request for proposals to find a new anchor tenant for the Northstar Hyundai Arena in Servus Place. The deadline for that RFP was Tuesday, Nov. 20.

St. Albert city council hit the gas on one bylaw change regarding parked vehicles Monday afternoon, but pulled a U-turn on two others. Councillors voted in favour of an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw that removes a provision allowing people to park vehicles on streets, in parking lots or along publicly accessible streets with a “For Sale” sign in the window. The change essentially reverts the City back to the provincial Traffic Safety Act, which does not allow vehicles with “For Sale” signs on public roads unless municipalities specifically permit them. The fine for violating this section of the Traffic Safety act is $57. The City is encouraging residents to sell their vehicles using other advertising mechanisms, like classified ads or free online advertising.

But two other traffic-related changes were defeated, including one that would have restricted any vehicle from parking on any street, including residential, or in any parking lot for more than 24 hours without moving. “If this amendment goes through, there would be a significant impact on residents and their ability to park their vehicles in front of their homes,” said Aaron Giesbrecht, the City’s manager of policing services. “It would also have a significant impact on operations if call volumes for officers increase because of this.” The other defeated motion would have extended the current 24-hour street parking limit for trailers in residential areas to also include industrial and commercial areas. This would have prohibited a truck with a fifth-wheel trailer from parking in a commercial parking lot for more than 24 hours, but would have had no effect on a motorhome.

They crack jokes about marching on stage or whatever,” she said. “They’re always quite surprised.” Soldier On is a charity whose mission is to provide resources and opportunities for serving and retired Canadian Forces personnel who have suffered chronic illnesses or major injuries in the line of duty, giving them a chance to actively participate in physical and recreation activities. Both Buckland and Arsenault said the concert is that much more special because of the cause. “This is a cause that is very close to us, :Xgk% GXki`Z\ because we serve full8ij\eXlck I:8 9Xe[ :&F time in the CF, and Soldier On provides support to serving members. ... To have a concert for that benefit makes it even more meaningful to us,” he said. “I’m getting to do what I love to do, and I’m getting to support my brothers- and sisters-at-arms, and provide for their families at home in Canada,” Buckland added. Hail to My Country starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Myer Horowitz Theatre (8900 114 St. NW, Edmonton). Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children, and are available through the RCA Band’s website at www.rcaband.ca.

You’re never too old for a good fart joke — just ask Neil Hooson. Hooson and his partner, one-time St. Albert resident Deanna Kent, are the creative forces behind Field Guide to Farts, Volume 1: Fartanimal Discovery, the first of a planned four-part series for young teenagers that was recently published electronically. It was an idea that developed rather organically around the kitchen table. “Between Deanna and myself, we have four boys ,and in December 2010, they were all between five and 12,” Hooson said. “It was typical boy talk around the table. And one day, Deanna just threw out this idea — what if farts were animals and you could have this field guide?” Originally, the book was envisioned as a normal field guide, with different species of farts broken down, but it eventually evolved into a full-fledged story after pitching it to an agent in 2011. Field Guide to Farts follows 12-year-old Artemis Ulysses Flatsch as a mysterious latter from his grandfather sets him off on a crazy adventure, travelling the globe to collect different species of “Fartanimals,” from the Triceraplops to the Spicy Tuba, while also fending off his nemesis, Fromage de Cutt. “We thought it would be cool to have this underdog kind of character where the honour is that he’s on this noble quest to himself, while to everybody else it seems really ridiculous,” he said. So far, the book has gotten a warm

reception, even getting a mention in the Apple iBookstore’s New and Notable section. “People seem to get it,” Hooson said. “There are people who will be obviously put off by the title and things like that, but I think the people that have enjoyed it understand that it doesn’t really have to be about farts. It’s about this boy uncovering this species that ends up being bigger than it seems. ... It’s a comic adventure, and farts are just the vehicle we chose to tell it.” Aside from working on the Field Guide to Farts, both Hooson and Kent continue to work for Disney’s online animation studio in Kelowna, B.C., to produce their popular Club Penguin online game for kids. “We’ve done other stuff, and we’ve worked together at work here and there, but we both really wanted to work on something like this together. And once we decided to selfpublish it, it all came together,” he said. “It was really gratifying to fire it up to the Amazon store or the iTunes store and start getting that immediate feedback, watching those ratings.” Of the four planned books, the first has been published and Hooson and Kent are hard at work on the second. “It’s one of those things we have to market aggressively to see any kind of movement in sales,” he said. “But we’re reaching to different books, trying to get some reviews happening.” Field Guide to Farts, Volume 1: Fartanimal Discovery is available now through iBooks, Amazon and Kobo.

The paintings might still be a bit wet when they go up, but that hasn’t dried up a local artist’s enthusiasm for her newest exhibit. Starting on Wednesday, St. Albert painter Samantha Williams-Chapelsky will have about 20 of her works depicting the Scottish highlands on display in the Kasaa Gallery in the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, on the campus of the University of Alberta in Edmonton. While most of the paintings have been finished for some time, though, others are coming in right under the deadline. “One of them I finished last week, which is pushing it for an oil painting,” WilliamsChapelsky said with a laugh. “They take about a year to completely dry, so that one will probably be on the sticky side. But I think I’m in good shape for this one.” Still, showing at a venue like the Jubilee Auditorium carries a certain prestige with it, especially considering WilliamsPhoto Supplied Chapelsky’s proposal was accepted more JXdXek_X N@cc`Xdj$:_Xg\cjbpËj \o_`Y`k Xk k_\ than a year ago.

For a company that focuses on familiar, family-friendly entertainment, Nintendo can occasionally be full of surprises. Sunday marks the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo’s first new video game console since the Wii made its debut in 2006. It’s also a significant roll of the dice for the gaming giant, which hopes this new machine, with its highdefinition graphics and unusual touchscreen controller, will manage to excite longtime fans, intrigue casual gamers and satisfy the so-called hardcore gaming crowd. I’ve been playing with the Wii U for a few days now, and we’ll dive deeper into specific games soon. For now, here’s what you need to know about Mario and company’s bold new adventure. @kËj ]Xd`c`Xi p\k [`]]\i\ek Although the Wii U introduces a brand new type of game controller (the touchscreen-equipped GamePad, which looks like a melding of an iPad Mini and a Fisher Price toy), its ties to the original Wii are strong. Existing Wii Remotes are used in multiplayer games, and it can play nearly all Wii games in addition to the new, high-def titles designed specifically for the Wii U.

But so far I’m quite enamoured of the Wii U’s whimsical charms and novel ideas. Its ultimate success will depend on what game developers do with the hardware and whether the Wii U will be able to compete with the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft. For the moment, though, Wii U is a pleasant, peachy surprise.

Bananas are the world’s most popular fruit after tomatoes. In western countries, they could account for 3% of a grocer’s total sales. But bananas are also consistently the No. 1 complaint of grocery shoppers. Most people complain when bananas are overripe or even freckled. The fact is that spotted bananas are sweeter, with a sugar content of more than 20%, compared with 3% in a green banana. (didyouknow.org)

The City of St. Albert is hoping to help local businesses avoid the winter blues by bringing back its Winter Beautification program. Now in its third year, the program is a cost-share opportunity that sees the City reimburse 50 per cent of the expenses for approved beautifications to the exterior of local storefronts, up to a maximum of $2,500. More than a dozen businesses take advantage of the program each year, which is aimed at attracting customers, supporting local business and encourage community branding. “Building and diversifying St. Albert’s economy in partnership with community and key stakeholders is a priority for the City and ensuring success of local businesses is vital to the health of our economy,� said Joan Barber, manager of marketing and research for the City, in a press release. “Studies show that beautification alone can increase sales between 15 and 35 per cent. Through programs such as the Summer and Winter Beautification, we encourage local St. Albert businesses to participate in the program which is designed to help them succeed and be part of a welcoming and thriving local

economy.� Any storefront business within St. Albert with a valid business license is eligible to participate in the Winter Beautification program. Home-based businesses do not qualify. Examples of beautification projects that could qualify for reimbursement include ice sculptures, botanic dresses, or additional lighting for the storefront. It could also include a perpendicular sign for greater visibility from the sidewalk or even street furniture. The beautification items must be in place for three months, but cannot be Christmas specific. Businesses can create their own beautification items, or they can purchase them from a supplier of their choice. The City cites the additional lighting on the External Affairs and River House Grill building along St. Albert Trail as an example of a successful beautification project. This has received positive feedback from businesses, residents and visitors alike. For more information and to download an application form for the beautification program, visit www.cultivatebusiness.ca.

Christmas is going to the dogs for a local design and printing company. From Nov. 15 to Dec. 15, Goodfellow Design and Printing is holding their first-ever K9 Khristmas fundraiser, where a quarter of their sales for that period will be donated to the Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS). “I know a number of people who have actually adopted pets from SCARS, and they’ve been incredible pets,� said Kelly Herman, sales and marketing specialist at Goodfellow. “I just appreciate SCARS actually rescuing animals pretty much from dumpsters, dumps and ditches. They’re an organization we want to support because they do a great job.� SCARS is based out of Edmonton and Athabasca, and operates as a no-kill rescue society that takes in animals slated for euthanasia at municipal pounds and tries to find them a loving forever home. The society holds their annual Tails on the Trails fundraiser in St. Albert, and held a dog swim at Grosvenor Outdoor Pool in September that raised more than $1,900. You can

find out more about the society at www. scarscare.org. “We own three dogs right now, and everyone at Goodfellow owns a pet in one way or another,� Herman said. “We just love animals, and we’ve looked at this organization for a while, and they need some support. They do some great things and just kind of fly under the radar in a lot of ways.� The company has set a goal of $3,000 during the first edition of this fundraiser, but Herman is confident that goal can be met. “We’d like to definitely blow that away, for sure,� he said, noting that the bar is set low for the first year, but they hope to raise it in future years. He added that SCARS has been promoting the fundraiser as best they can, and he too has been busy working the phones to get the word out. Goodfellow Design and Printing has been operating for about seven years now, offering design and printing of various business materials, from business cards and letterhead to magnets, door hangers and vinyl banners.

Alberta is seeking to recruit an army of oilsands workers — literally. The province is on the march to attract thousands of demobilized U.S. military personnel to help develop what’s been touted as Canada’s economic engine for coming decades, the oilsands. The project’s success would also act as a goodwill gesture for Canada’s controversial oilsands, said Alberta Energy Minister Ken Hughes. “We’re trying to understand how we could produce employment opportunities for American service people returning from overseas,”

Hughes said Friday. “I’ve detected some interest in the States.” The mission has attracted the attention of U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson and the encouragement of the U.S.’s former consul general in Calgary, Laura Lochman, said Hughes. Hughes said there are a half-million unemployed or underemployed younger military veterans in the U.S. — a force that could be tapped to satisfy a chronically hungry energy industry in Alberta. “These are a lot of fairly highly disciplined Americans, some of whom would have skills, presumably, for the oil industry,” he said. “Ever since the Dingman well discovery in 1914, we’ve never had enough human resources and

capital of our own to develop the oil industry.” Forecasts conducted on the labour needs of Alberta’s energy sector range greatly, with one study stating the province could be short 130,000 workers within seven years. “That’s one of the greatest constraints we face in developing the oilsands,” said Hughes. The minister said he plans to lead a team into the U.S. sometime next year to scout out recruitment opportunities among military vets. He said such a contingent of military petroleum workers would also help sell the oilsands to an America that’s shown some reluctance to accept its bitumen and the pipelines that would supply it.
