Mayors ready to usher in new era

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

The mayors of St. Albert and Sturgeon County took a big step toward a new era of cooperation between the two municipalities this week. Both Nolan Crouse and Tom Flynn were up early on Monday morning to deliver the first-ever joint State of the Region address to a breakfast crowd at the Officers’ Mess at CFB Edmonton, touching on a number of issues that could have implications on their jurisdictions and many others. “It’s important that you set the tone so that the leaders of the future don’t have a choice,â€? Crouse said. “If you behave a certain way, over a period of time, you set a particular culture. So we’re trying to set a culture that cannot be reversed.â€?

Wendy Stiver gets a hug from a friend after winning the St. Albert CIVC’s Volunteer Citizen of the Year award in 2012. Stiver passed away on Sept. 12 at the age of 66.

Special Olympics hit hard by loss of Stiver

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Special Olympians in St. Albert are mourning the loss of a coach, a mentor and a volunteer dedicated to seeing them succeed both in sports and in life. Wendy Stiver — who volunteered with the local Special Olympics chapter for almost 25 years — passed away on Friday, Sept. 12, at the age of 66. Starting with bowling practices on Saturday mornings, Stiver spent more than 20 years as chair of the St. Albert chapter, and spent as many as 250 days a year giving her time to help athletes with developmental disabilities. “When you lose someone of Wendy’s experience and passion, it’s a huge loss,� said Special Olympics Alberta president Johnny Byrne. “There are two sides of it. There’s the operational side and running of programs, but more important to us, it’s losing someone of her quality and just a respected person within our community. She was a friend to many and a leader. She’s not the type of person you can replace.� St. Albert Special Olympics athlete Josh Petrone penned an open letter tribute to Stiver that was posted on the Special Olympics Alberta website. “We had so much fun together. There was nothing we did without her,� he wrote in part. “Everyone was devastated to lose someone who we have loved for a very long time. It will never be the same without her.� Byrne knows the athletes were hit particularly hard by the news of Stiver’s passing. “We definitely feel for the family and friends who will miss her, and definitely the

athletes, who I know are struggling with not having Wendy around anymore,â€? he said. “She was definitely a huge part of their lives.â€? Stiver never sought out attention, but it sometimes found her, like in 2012, when she was named Volunteer Citizen of the Year by the St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre. CIVC executive director Glynis Thomas said everyone there was “greatly saddenedâ€? by the news of her passing. “She was an incredible life force in the volunteer community,â€? she said. “She was well-loved, well-respected and dedicated. I witnessed first-hand many times the Special Olympians and their absolute love and regard for her. “We have suffered an incredible loss. But at the same time, the community has so greatly benefitted from everything she has done for so many people, and we will cherish that.â€? Byrne added that Stiver was instrumental in strengthening the Special Olympics movement in St. Albert, especially when the Special Olympics National Winter Games were held in the city in 2012. “She really was the driving force for St. Albert,â€? Byrne said. “St. Albert is full of amazing volunteers on their managing committee, but she had been the chair and lead for almost 10 years, and for well over 20, she had been an instrumental volunteer. The thing about Wendy was that she was willing to get involved in any capacity.â€? A celebration of Stiver’s life was held on Friday at North Pointe Community Church in north Edmonton. In lieu of flowers, her family has instead asked for donations to be made to St. Albert Special Olympics.

Kickoff for Operation Christmas Child campaign set for Oct. 4

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

It’s not yet October, and Molly Moore is already thinking about Christmas — but not for herself. Moore is part of the St. Albert Operation Christmas Child Committee, which is holding a kickoff event for this year’s campaign on Saturday, Oct. 4, at Victory Life Church (90 McKenney Ave.). Every year, this campaign sends thousands of shoeboxes full of toys, school supplies and toiletries to underprivileged children in the third world to help brighten up their Christmas season.

“It’s really exciting� to get going for another year, said Moore. “We’ve got a brand new committee, so we’ve lots of new ideas and ways to expand on the campaign.� Operation Christmas Child is run by Samaritan’s Purse International Relief. In St. Albert, the campaign has typically seen a really good response, with lots of donations and firefighters donating their time and their trucks to help pick them all up. “I find the schools really love it because it’s kids helping kids. It gives the kids the opportunity to make an impact in a thirdworld country,� Moore said. “It’s important for kids to realize there

are people who are much less fortunate than we are,� she added, “and to realize there are things we can do, even from our own homes, to help people and improve their lives.� The kickoff event will feature speakers from Operation Christmas Child’s office in Calgary talking about their experiences with the campaign, including travelling overseas to deliver shoeboxes. There will also be a chance to ask questions of the local committee. Moore has been involved with the campaign herself since she was 13 years old. “I’ve been packing boxes for as long as I can remember,� said Moore, now 18. “I

actually got involved through my church, Sturgeon Valley Baptist Church. They were the area collection site, and they were looking for some people to help out.� But what’s kept her coming back year after year is seeing just how much bigger it can get. “I love seeing how it grows every year. It’s something I’ve always been passionate about, helping children who are less fortunate and bringing the joy of Christmas to them,� she said. “They may not otherwise get any presents or any sign that people love hem and they are important.� Shoeboxes are scheduled to be picked up in St. Albert between Nov. 17 and 23.

City, TD team up for tree-mendous event GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

St. Albert got a little greener over the weekend thanks to some help from a bank with a green logo. About 30 volunteers from TD Bank branches across the Capital Region teamed up with the City of St. Albert and Tree Canada on Sunday to plant 181 trees in the Grey Nuns White Spruce Park as part of TD Tree Days, a nationwide initiative to plant trees and increase the sustainability of forests across Canada. Margo Brenneis, parks director for the City, said the whole event went very well. “This was the first time that TD had done a tree planting in St. Albert, but it is something that everyone mentioned they would like to make an annual event,” she said, adding that a larger spruce tree was planted by Mayor Nolan Crouse and a TD executive to mark the occasion. Ashley Jewers, customer service manager for the TD Canada Trust branch on the north end of

St. Albert Trail, agreed, saying that all the volunteers who came out were really enthusiastic. “And the weather was fantastic, so that was a cherry on top,” she said.

“It’s a way to green the communities we live in and work in.” Ashley Jewers TD Canada Trust Jewers added that, because she lives and works in St. Albert, she knows how important green spaces and natural areas are to residents, so she was eager to get this initiative going here. “I thought this was a great way for me to tie my two worlds,” she

said. TD Tree Days started up four years ago, and so far the initiative has planted 135,000 trees across Canada. The trees were paid for through a grant from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. Brenneis said that having a strategic partner like TD is wonderful for the continued health of the forest. “For us, it’s a really unique partnership that they feel is very worthwhile too,” she said. “And we’re going to continue — there’s so much planting that can be done at Grey Nuns White Spruce Park that, every year, this can continue to grow and engage more of the community.” Jewers said that TD has been committed to the environment for several years now, and the Tree Day events are part of that commitment. “It’s a way to green the communities we live in and work in,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity for our employees, and the friends and families of

employees, to give back to the communities in which we work.” The Grey Nuns White Spruce Park, which is located just east of Ray Gibbon Drive, has been declared a municipal historic resource by the City due to the fact some of the trees contained therein are over 100 years old. In May of this year, city council approved a management plan for the forest that was developed with the help of an advisory committee that included both City administration and community members. “It’s one of the last white spruce plantings in North America,”

Brenneis said, “and it’s vulnerable because we have lots of old trees in there, and the young trees are not growing. So we have a real age imbalance. What we want to do to preserve it is plant more younger trees, and we’re providing an environment for them to survive so we can have longevity with the park.” The management plan also looks at human activity in the park, like hiking and bicycling, and how it will affect the health of the trees. “It’s got a great future (and a chance) to be a great destination park in our city,” Brenneis said.

This policy is the first step to implementing a full asset management framework, and staff will begin composing other project policies based on the guidelines in the Asset Management Policy. “We’re going to have Asset Management Policies across the province that are fairly consistent ...

OPINION

WHERE IS THIS?

Those first small steps

Here’s a photo of a building or landmark around St. Albert. Can you figure out where it is?

S

t. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse said it himself on Monday morning: Talk is cheap. Crouse was referring to the City of St. Albert’s relationship with Sturgeon County, which has been strained — to put it bluntly — over the last couple of decades. by Glenn Cook In that time, the two municipalities have butted heads over commercial development, residential development, servicing, taxes and just about anything else you can think of that two municipalities would butt heads over. But the fact that, when Crouse reiterated to a crowd of more than 100 people that talk is cheap, he was standing next to Sturgeon County Mayor Tom Flynn at a podium is a positive first step. The two mayors joined forces on Monday morning to deliver a State of the Region address, where they talked about all sorts of issues, from Villeneuve Airport and Villeneuve Road to housing and fire protection. And while it may have been a largely symbolic event, it was promising that the two mayors could even be in the same room without tearing into one another. That said, however, as much as the joint address was a positive step forward, it was merely a baby step. As Crouse said, talk is cheap, and most of Monday was talk. It’s not until some of these issues truly come forward to be dealt with by their respective councils that we will see each municipality’s true colours begin to shine. Will St. Albert and Sturgeon County see eye-to-eye on how Villeneuve Airport is developed? Will St. Albert be willing to lend a hand to its neighbours when it come to fire protection? Will the two governments be able to work together when it comes to developing housing options for seniors and young families that are affordable? Will the dynamics change if other municipalities are brought into the conversation, like Bon Accord, Gibbons or Redwater? These are questions that will have to be answered further down the road, the same road that Flynn and Crouse took that first tiny step down on Monday. Talk is cheap, but if they keep at it, both municipalities could cash in in the future.

Catholic board kicks off 150th

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

A hundred and fifty years of Catholic education in St. Albert is a cause for celebration, and Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools has a year full of festivities planned. The district took the lid off their plans on Friday morning at the Little White School, with the highlight being a gala event on Mission Hill being planned for June 2015. “What a historic event for our community. A hundred and fifty years of education — that’s pre-Confederation. Can you even imagine that?â€? said board of trustees chair Noreen Radford. “This is phenomenal.â€? “It’s a wonderful opportunity to tell the story of where we come from,â€? added superintendent David Keohane. Catholic education began in St. Albert when the Sisters of Charity of Montreal — commonly known as the Grey Nuns — opened their new convent in 1864, with room to educate about 20 students. The year prior, they taught seven MĂŠtis and First Nations orphans that came with them from Lac Ste. Anne. Members of the Grey Nuns were on hand Friday morning, and will

be involved in the school district’s celebrations all year long. “It’s very important (to be involved), since we’re the ones that started it. ‌ It’s part of our history,â€? said Sister MarieAnne Lavoie, a member of the Grey Nuns who still lives in St. Albert. Lavoie didn’t teach in St. Albert, but she attended school in the local Catholic system until Grade 7, when she went to a convent in Legal. She has many fond memories of her time in those schools, though; she is even front and centre in a class photo that adorns a classroom wall in the Little White School. “It was a lot of fun,â€? she said. A lot of planning has gone into the year-long festivities, Keohane said, with each school hosting their own unique celebration at some point during the year. “Each school is in charge of their own, because it’s not a top-down division,â€? Radford said. “Every school has the opportunity to come up with their own unique ideas of how to celebrate.â€? The district has also launched a special page on their website where former students can share their stories and memories. The gala event will take place on Mission Hill on June 13, 2015, and will honour “the pioneering spirit of the Grey

Nuns and faith-based education in the province,� according to the district’s website. Tickets will go on sale this November. A special mass is also planned for Mission Hill on June 11, 2015. Looking back and seeing how Catholic education has grown from those 20 students in 1864 to some 6,000 students in the district today, though, it’s hard for Keohane to wrap his head around sometimes. “A great piece about our school system is that it reaches out beyond people of one single faith,� he said. “It’s people who want to grow within a basic Christian faith dimension and become stronger in their lives because of it. That’s our value base, and the fact that value base continues to connect and resonate with people in the current day and age is inspiring.� But Radford said that, the more some things change, the more they stay the same. “We have students in my ward of Morinville who are housed in a parish hall,� she said with a laugh. “It’s basically come full circle.� For more information on the district’s 150th anniversary celebrations, visit their website at www.gsacrd.ab.ca.

Golden girls settle for silver

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

She won gold in Sochi, but Meaghan Mikkelson had to settle for silver on The Amazing Race Canada. The finale of the reality TV show — which featured the St. Albert native and her Canadian Olympic women’s hockey teammate Natalie Spooner taking on 10 other teams in a race across Canada and the world — aired on CTV Sunday evening, with Mikkelson and Spooner finishing in second place at Rideau Hall in Ottawa behind best friends Mickey Henry and Pete Schmalz from Muskoka, Ont. While Mikkelson and Spooner looked upset when they crossed the finish line, Mikkelson said they got over it pretty quickly and were proud of the race that they ran. “It was a tough pill to swallow at the time, but after taking time to reflect on the entire experience and the entire journey, it was absolutely incredible, and something I would never give up,” she said on Monday morning. “It’s not just about the destination; it’s about the journey. That was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.” They did get a consolation prize, though, when they were named the fans’ favourite team in an online Meaghan Mikkelson vote, winning a year of free gas Amazing Race Canada from Petro Canada. Mikkelson and Spooner also won seven legs over the course of the race, most of which came with prizes of trips from Air Canada and cash. While both The Amazing Race Canada and the Olympics are highpressure situations with high stakes, that’s about where similarities end. “Playing in a gold-medal game under pressure with millions of people watching, that’s a lot of pressure, but you also have 20 to 25 years of hockey experience to fall back on; it’s something I’ve been doing my entire life. I can prepare for that — I can train, I can practice, I can prepare with my teammates for what we’re about to face,” Mikkelson said. “In The Amazing Race, you have absolutely no idea what you’re going to be doing each day when you wake up, when you rip open those clues. You don’t know where

you’re going or what you’re doing, so you can’t prepare yourself for anything.” Having won gold together, Mikkelson and Spooner were pretty good friends before the race started, but they’re even closer now. “I would consider her like a little sister now,” Mikkelson said. “We talk absolutely every day, and we’re super close. I’m thankful I got to have that experience with her.” But they’re also close with several of the teams they raced against, including Mickey and Pete, who she said are “really great guys,” as well as siblings Sukhi and Jinder Atwal — even though they tried to point the ladies in the wrong direction in Prince Edward Island. “That’s been one of the best parts of this race, getting to know people. Once you meet them, you understand why they were cast for the show,” Mikkelson said. With their long hair and seemingly carefree attitudes, it would have been easy to write off Mickey and Pete’s chances early on, but Mikkelson was careful not to underestimate any of their competition. “I think it was in Tofino (B.C.) ... I think I said to (Natalie) after that leg, ‘These guys are in it. We can’t underestimate them,’” she said. “We said that about all the teams going. You try to scope the other teams out and see who you think is going first, who you think is going until the end. But I said to her all the teams are here for a reason.” Because the show was filmed earlier this year, Mikkelson had to keep the outcome of the race under wraps until it aired on TV, which was tough to do. “After we had been doing so well, my friends and family and teammates were going, ‘You won it, didn’t you?’ And sitting there, knowing you didn’t, that wasn’t awesome,” she said. “But I think that helped with getting over it and realizing what a great experience it was.” For the most part, Mikkelson said the way the race was presented on TV was how it unfolded in real time — save for how she dealt with a broken hand that she suffered during the Olympics. “But I was kind of happy, because it wasn’t all about my hand, and I didn’t want it to be about that,” she said. “I tried not to complain about it even though it bugged me pretty much the whole way through. I had to be smart about it. Yes, The Amazing Race was a big deal for us, but I also have my hockey career, and that, to me, comes first. ... I didn’t want it to be an excuse. I’ve had people say to me: You don’t find an excuse, you find a way.” A third season of The Amazing Race Canada is slated for next summer, and applications for contestants are currently open at www. theamazingracecanadacasting.com.

PIT STOPS

Meaghan Mikkelson talks about some of her most memorable moments from along The Amazing Race Canada route

START

7 Meaghan participates in a Road Block challenge at the Calvados Boulard distillery in Normandy, France.

At the starting line in Jasper, what were your nerves like? Were there any nerves at all?

How powerful an experience was it for you to go to Normandy and Juno Beach, these places where so many Canadians sacrificed their lives in the Second World War?

MM: There were nerves, for sure. I compared it to when you’re about to go out on the ice for a hockey game, the gold-medal game. You’re nervous, you’re excited, you kind of feel like your heart’s in your throat. You’re shaking; there’s a lot of adrenalin. But as soon as you step out on the ice, it all goes away. And it was the same in the race; as soon as (host) Jon (Montgomery) said, ‘Go!’, or as soon as you ripped open your first clue in the morning, those nerves were gone.

Natalie and Meaghan work on a Detour challenge at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum in Bayeux, France.

Tofino, BC

MM: I get asked what my favourite leg of the race was, and it was definitely the one in Normandy. Just being on that beach and talking to the veteran at the mat, Jim Parks, and knowing what they went through, what they sacrificed for all of Canada to live the lives we do today, it was a humbling experience. It was nice that the race was able to capture that.

Winnipeg was home to the infamous hockey challenge for you and Natalie, but it was also the first time you had finished out of the top three thus far. Was that kind of a wake-up call?

MM: I think so. It’s good to experience disappointment along the way, and we were definitely disappointed on that leg. Obviously being hockey players, it’s something we should have been good at. But we’re human; we make mistakes. We had a bad day. And we’re OK with that. We used it as motivation and we just moved on.

3 One of the Road Blocks in Hong Kong was eating snake bile and snake meat soup. But you powered right through it! How did you gather up the mental strength for that?

MM: It was good that I didn’t know at the start that it was the gall bladder they had taken out of the snake. Not knowing that, I think, helped. Then there was also the fact we hadn’t eaten in probably 16 or 17 hours. I was starving! You could put anything in front of me at that point and I’d probably eat Natalie and Meaghan it. It actually tasted a bit like read a Route Marker at chicken; it wasn’t that Lucy Maud Montgomery’s horrible. home in P.E.I.

(Even though Sukhi and Jinder tried to point Meaghan and Natalie in the wrong direction in Prince Edward Island, it seems all has since been forgiven.) MM: They’re really lovely people, and I’m glad we’ve gotten to know them as well.

10 Prince Edward Island 11 Cape Enrage, NB 8 When you go to a place like Paris, did you wish at some points during the race that you had more time to just stop and take these places all in? MM: Yeah — you’re in Paris, and you kind of feel like you’re experiencing Paris in fast forward. We zipped by the Eiffel Tower, and that was it. We ran by the Arc de Triomphe, grabbed our clue and away we go. Those are places that you’d like to stop and be able to appreciate, but that’s part of the race. You know that going into it, that you’re not going to get to stop and smell the flowers. It makes me realize that there’s so much in the world that I want to see.

ENTERTAINMENT

The two sides of David Myles GLENN COOK

St. Albert Leader

David Myles is a study in contrasts. One side of the Halifax-based singersongwriter’s new double album, In the Nighttime, features the folk-pop songs for which he has gained legions of fans in Eastern Canada and a handful of East Coast Music Awards. But the other side of the album is home to six tracks with a major hip hop feel to them, thanks in large part to long-time collaborator and producer Classified. While his live show features only two acoustic guitars and a double bass, that won’t stop Myles from exploring both sides of his musical persona when he hits the stage at the Arden Theatre in St. Albert on Saturday, Oct. 4. “I do (delve into the songs produced by Classified), but just in a way that’s more stripped down,” Myles said. “But I definitely do play those songs, and I talk about our collaboration. At first ... I thought, ‘How am I going to produce this stuff live? If this is the stuff that people are familiar with, that’s out there on the radio, do I need to have tracks? Do I need to take it in the pop direction in the show?’ And I realized that wasn’t the type of show I wanted to do. I really wanted to do a show where stuff was stripped down and people could really hear the song. And when people like a song, I think they enjoy hearing it like that.” Myles may be best known for his work on Classified’s hit single “Inner Ninja,” which garnered them both Juno Awards and MuchMusic Video Awards in 2013.

That partnership began, oddly enough, over a game of ping pong. “We were hanging out at a music conference. I had heard his music before — I’m a hip hop fan — so we started talking, and we just basically got along really well right away,” said Myles, who started out playing trumpet on some of Classified’s songs, but eventually starting contributing song hooks. “We were in completely different places musically, but we shared a certain energy and enthusiasm for making music and being in the studio. It lit a fire.” But Myles believes it’s a symbiotic relationship, one that opens up doors for both artists and lets fans discover music they might not normally be turned on to. “That’s what you hope with any kind of collaboration, especially a collaboration where you’re pushing yourself out of your comfort zone,” he said. “And this is is a collaboration that involves two very different worlds, so if it’s successful, it does just that.” Another contrast in Myles’s life in the fact that, while he’s making a go of it as a professional touring musician, his degree from Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B., is in political science. But after a year-long internship in politics, he realized that music was his true calling. “I found it really interesting, but the reality is that I was obsessed with music,” he said. “I was going to work thinking about songs. At this point, the bug had been fully planted in my world. I was obsessed with writing songs as soon as I started. I got to a point where,

if I tried to do something else, I wasn’t going to do it very well, because my mind was so occupied with (music).” For many years, the Eastern Canada music scene was synonymous with Celtic revival acts like the Rankin Family, the Barra Macneils and Ashley MacIssac. But, as much as Myles reveres and respects what those bands have done, he is proof that things are diversifying in the Maritimes. “It’s big enough that there’s great diversity, but small enough that everyone knows each other,” he said. “You can feel part of the community quickly, and you can meet people who are making music in different genres.” Tickets for David Myles are $28 each plus fees and taxes through Ticketmaster or the Arden box office.

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

Dallas Smith thought St. Albert was so nice, he’d come here twice. The former lead singer of the rock band Default has turned his attention to country music, and will

be playing in support of his new EP, Tippin’ Point, when he visits the Go Auto Arena in Servus Credit Union Place on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2015. Smith previously came to St. Albert in 2013 to play the Rainmaker Rodeo and Exhibition alongside Doc Walker.

Smith will be joined at Servus Place by special guest Charlie Worsham. The concert is presented by CISN Country 103.9. Tickets for the show range from $47.25 to $57.25 and go on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. on Friday.

Smith’s Tippin’ Point Tour begins in Fredericton, N.B., on Jan. 15, and will hit 20 cities. He released his debut country album in 2012 after working with Default — known for songs like “Wasting My Time” and “Deny” — since 1999.

Simon searches for happiness STEVE TILLEY Sun Media News Services

A great job. An amazing house. A beautiful significant other. Happiness achieved, right? If only it were that easy. Simon Pegg is a happy man, as you might expect from an actor who alternates between clever comedies (Shaun of the Dead, The World’s End) and megablockbuster franchises (Mission: Impossible, Star Trek.) Clearly he has it all. But having everything doesn’t equal joy and fulfilment. In Hector and the Search for Happiness, directed by Peter Chelsom (Serendipity) and opening in theatres this week, Pegg plays the titular Hector, a well-heeled London psychiatrist with an amazing apartment, cool toys and a stunning live-in girlfriend (Rosamund Pike.) But unlike Pegg, Hector is not a happy man. “He lives this life which is so anesthetized by comfort — by the right clothes, the right computer,

the right girlfriend and the right house. It’s completely beige,� says Pegg, who jetted into Toronto in the midst of shooting Mission: Impossible 5 with Tom Cruise and pals to talk about happiness, that most elusive of emotions. Hector sets out to discover what makes people happy, travelling from Buddhist temples in the Himalayas to poor townships in Africa. Adventures are had, dangers are faced and lessons are learned. As Hector roams the world and scribbles wisdom in his journal — pithy sayings that pop on the screen, “which range from f---ing Hallmark bulls--- to the philosophically relevant,� says Pegg — there’s one in particular that the star says we have to take to heart. “It’s the one that says avoiding unhappiness is not the route to happiness,� says Pegg. “You can’t know happiness unless you know its opposite, and have experienced the entire spectrum of emotional colour to know what the colour blue means.�

That’s some deep stuff, but Pegg is a surprisingly deep guy, especially if you know him only as the characters he plays in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy, as Scotty in J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek flicks or as the comic relief tech whiz in Mission: Impossible. “I’ve had my fair share of life, I guess, and I’ve channeled that into what I’ve done,� he says. “I wouldn’t say I’m an unhappy person at all, I’m more happy now than I’ve ever been I think.� Can’t blame him. After jetting around the world to film Hector, he’s now doing the same to reprise his role as Benji Dunn in next year’s Mission: Impossible 5 (which we assume will be released with a sexier title than that.) “We’ve been in Vienna, and now we’ve moved to Morocco. It’s a hoot,� Pegg says. “I love doing my films and I like doing slightly more indie films, but I love those other ones just as much. I love doing Star Trek and Mission: Impossible just as much because they’re such fun. They’re huge and silly and a joyful thing to be part of.�

There is no diet that will do what eating Simply For Life does.

Neeson takes a walk

JIM SLOTEK

The hipster downtown hotel Liam Neeson is staying at actually has vinyl in the room for your entertainment pleasure. Atop them: Rod Stewart’s 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story. “That’s crazy, I still have this!” Neeson says of a record he bought on release. If you’re wondering how old that makes Neeson, the answer is 62. And if you’re wondering how a 62-year-old Oscar winner ends up playing assassins, hitmen, air marshalls and — in his latest, A Walk Among The Tombstones — a sharp-shootingcop-turned-private-detective … well, so is he. “I can’t believe it. But then I wouldn’t have got these roles at 35. It’s just the way the world turns some times,” says the lanky and fit actor. “When I did Taken, I thought, ‘Three months in Paris? That can’t be too bad.’ I thought it’ll go straight to video, I’m totally satiated, three months in Paris, good food. Then Fox did an incredible PR job and it became a hit. And suddenly they started seeing me in a different light.” Has anyone gone from serious actor to action star before? “I can’t think of anybody, can you? I’m not one to put myself on a pedestal, but it’s just been mad, man. You know what this business is like.” Wherever the work comes, he’s happy with it, supporting his family in New York since the death of his wife Natasha Richardson five years ago. Shooting at home was the attraction with this adaption of a Lawrence Block novel about a detective who’s hired by a drug trafficker (Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens), whose wife was kidnapped and killed despite the ransom being paid.

“It’s the best, to sleep in your own bed. With this one, we had eight weeks of night shoots. They’re tough, especially after three weeks. Your whole body clock is a-- about face.” And another action film meant more time spent with an improbable best friend — his longtime personal stunt co-ordinator Mark Vanselow. “He’s the reason I don’t get beaten up much. We’ve done 16 films now (their first was 2000’s Gun Shy with Sandra Bullock). I never get hurt, nor has he. We rehearse hard for a long time and then make it work. “It’s a special relationship. Mark sort of moves like me, and he’s a really good pal. And he kind of gets me and I kind of get him. People ask, ‘Do you do your own stunts?’ No, I leave that to the professionals. But the fighting aspect, yeah, I love to do that!” he says, brightening. An erstwhile boxer, Neeson says, “I have a really good gym, and I use the heavy bag. But I stopped sparring a few years back, because you get guys going, ‘F---, I’m gonna get this guy,’ y’know?” His latest bout of training came because, “Taken 3, which I just finished, was particularly tough physically, and I just felt I’d better be ready.” A fan of red wine, Neeson stops drinking when training. “I clean myself up and stop drinking wine and stop eating gluten bread. I drink decaffeinated tea, all that boring stuff. I do that for six months and then the rot kicks in again,” he says with a laugh. Next up, Neeson is playing… a tree — a yew tree in fact, in an adaptation of the children’s fantasy novel A Monster Calls. “I’m going to be in a very sexy wetsuit with yellow dots all over it. And those computer nerds will do things,” he says. “So Mark (Vanselow) can sit this one out.”

The Metro Cinema Society has no shortage of interest or content to display why film is culturally important in Edmonton. Every week, there’s something different going on in the Garneau: one week you could see Breakfast at Tiffany’s with a university feminist studies group; the next week you could see Army of Darkness with a group of ravenous horror fans reciting Bruce Campbell’s infamous oneliners.

Students at the University of Alberta — including several from St. Albert — are hoping they’ve got the right formula to raise money for several different causes over the course of the new academic year. Even though the school year just started, pharmacy students at the U of A are already going strong on their fundraising efforts, with the next major event being the CIBC Run for the Cure in Edmonton on Sunday, Oct. 5. Alyssa Schmode is a St. Albert Catholic High School graduate who is in her second year in the pharmacy program, and she said that excitement is building among students for that event. “We’re really excited. We’re well on our way to our goal … we’re really excited to get out and promote what the run is for,” she said. Pharmacy students also raised about $2,500 during their Saving Second Base softball tournament at Centennial Park in Edmonton on Sept. 13. So far, their tally on the Run for the Cure website is about

$7,500 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s a disease that has affected many within the program personally. “There are a lot of people within our faculty who have been personally affected by breast cancer. The team captain, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer; luckily she survived,” Schmode said. “If people know the signs and symptoms early on, they have a much better chance of surviving.” Schmode estimated that there are about 20 to 25 students in the pharmacy program from St. Albert. Throughout the year, pharmacy students will focus their fundraising efforts on other diseases, including prostate cancer and other cancers below the waist, as well as juvenile diabetes. But as important as raising money, Schmode said, is raising awareness about the diseases. “That’s a really important thing for pharmacy students to do, to promote overall wellness and help (people) become aware of issues and know what to look for,” she said.

Frozen barley may push beer prices up

Hog’s Head adds to arsenal with Tap Room

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

St. Albert’s only craft brewery is hoping people go as “hog wild” for its food as they have for its beer. Located in Riel Business Park, Hog’s Head Brewing Company has been churning out bottles of beer for thirsty customers for almost two years. But now they’ve added a restaurant to their Rayborn Crescent headquarters, giving patrons something to wash down with their tasty brews. The Hog’s Head Tap Room has been open for about two weeks now, and Jayde Malloy, who works in the front of house, said business is steadily growing. “I’ve been very impressed. For us only being open two weeks, it’s pretty good,” she said. She added that people aren’t having much trouble finding their building tucked away in Riel Park, with packed houses for both lunch and dinner service. “We are going to be putting out more signs and have it out there more so it is easier to find … but with us being so hidden, I’ve been very impressed with what we have coming in so far,” Malloy said. Hog’s Head chief operating officer Terry Nistor said the restaurant is a great way to get the word out about the business, both to St. Albertans and to visitors. “It’s just a natural fit for a brewery,” he said. “First of all, the beer is about as fresh as you’re going to get. The brewery’s behind

us, and the taps are right here.” The tap room also does takeout orders, and with the National Football League season underway, they have specials all day every Sunday. There are also off-sales and a growler filling station on site. The tap room’s menu has already changed and evolved in the couple of weeks the doors have been open, doubling in size. “We started off with a preliminary menu until we could figure out exactly the limitations of the equipment,” said chef Patrick Spilsted, who previously worked at Chop Steakhouse in downtown Edmonton. “Now we’ve added meatloaf subs and mac ’n’ cheese — real comfort, homey foods.” But one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that beer is part of every dish on the menu, from the chicken wings glazed in a sauce made with their Clockwort Orange beer to carrot cake made with their Boss Hogg oatmeal India pale ale. “Anywhere I can substitute, where the recipe calls for water, let’s go with beer,” Spilsted said. Outside of the kitchen, Hog’s Head has partnered up with the City of St. Albert’s economic development department, and they hope that partnership, along with many others, will help them continue to grow well into the future. “Our mandate is to grow provincially, to continue and make St. Albertans really proud of having a brewery right in their (city),” Nistor said.

Time to move out of the basement? BRITTANY KUSTRA Special to the Leader

You’re in good company if you began your entrepreneurial journey with a laptop in your basement. Whether you’re an inventor, accountant, or website developer, it’s likely you’re following the path of many other small business owners: humble beginnings at home, followed by the momentous move into a professional office of your own. Picture your office: Is it a simple desk in a shared coworking space? Or will you lease an entire floor of a skyscraper? Successful entrepreneurs inevitably face the question, “How will I know when it’s the right time to expand?â€? Here are a few ways to know that you need to move beyond the basement: • You meet clients in person regularly. Bringing clients into your home isn’t the most professional way to do business. Regular visits to coffee shops can get expensive pretty quickly, too. • Home life gets in the way of your work life. Some of us simply aren’t cut out to move past home distractions like chores, pets, and TV.

• You can forecast your company’s financial future. If you feel confident about your company’s financial security for the next 12-24 months, then a formal office may be your right next step. • You’re hiring more staff. When you move beyond a one-person team, an office provides a more structured work environment than your home. • You need the office essentials. Your home printer and basic internet connection just don’t cut it when your business starts to boom. Over 70 successful small businesses currently call the Northern Alberta Business Incubator (NABI) home. We specialize in finding the right space for your business. Our offices range from 82 to 1,000 square feet, and our leases are always month-to-month. If you can’t commit to an office yet, then start with a mailbox, phone services, or meeting room space! Visit www.nabi.ca to learn more about leasing a space, and make sure to check out our blog the latest NABI news. Brittany Kustra is the Communications and Marketing Co-ordinator for the Northern Alberta Business Incubator.
