Students from around the Capital Region are having an “arresting� time during their spring break. Twenty students from St. Albert, Sturgeon County, Morinville and Stony Plain took part in the third annual RCMP Youth Academy this week at Bellerose Composite High School. There, they learned some of the basics of police work, including hands-on demonstrations with active officers on handcuffing and defence techniques, with police service dogs and with the RCMP helicopter. “It’s an opportunity to show the youth that police are approachable, that we’re here to help them learn, we’re here to help them achieve their goals,� Said Const. Gord Hughes of the St. Albert RCMP. “Maybe one day, 10 years from now, one of these kids might come to me and say, ‘You’re the reason why I’m an officer.’� One of those youth eyeing a career in police work is Alex Sutton, a Grade 11 student at Bellerose. “In my future plans after high school, I plan to join either the police or the RCMP — I haven’t decided yet. But I heard about this over the announcements, and it sounded intriguing. Once I did a

little more research into it, I realized it’s something that would really benefit my resumĂŠ, help get me some experience,â€? Sutton said. St. Albert RCMP community policing officer Cpl. Laurel Kading said that’s exactly the type of attitude they want to see in the academy cadets. “You want the right kids coming, so we’re certainly not going to sacrifice the quality just to have numbers,â€? she said. “What we’ve found all three years is that we have 20, 21, 22 very dedicated, motivated young people.â€? The academy can accommodate up to 24 cadets, and looks to recreate the environment that new recruits would encounter at the RCMP training centre in Regina. The cadets checked into their barracks on Friday, and even by the next day, camaraderie was beginning to build among the troop as they learned handcuffing and defense techniques on Saturday. There were even a few cadets from last year who came back to help the new recruits settle in and give them a few tips on what to expect. “It’s nice to see they’re interested still. They’re saying, ‘What can I do to help?’ which is nice,â€? Kading said.

This being the academy’s third year, Kading said it’s getting better each time out. “We’ve grown in our organizational abilities and understanding of how to make this interactive and interesting for the kids. We’ve improved our product,� she said. This year is the first year we’ve expanded to ask for help outside our detachment. We have Morinville officers and Spruce Grove/Stony Plain officers involved. That helps us with the work commitment to the academy, but it also allows these youth to have exposure to even more officers, and ones from their home area so they can build that connection.� The academy concludes today (Thursday) with a graduation ceremony, and both Kading and Hughes hope the cadets come away from the experience having learned valuable lessons. “Our goal is that they have good exposure to what it means to be an RCMP officer, what career avenues they have before them so they can really start to think and plan for the future,� Hughes said. “The second part of it is that the RCMP is here to work with youth, be supportive of youth. We are very interested in that part of our community,� Kading added.

The City of St. Albert is trying to do right by drivers by putting restrictions on lefts. Starting the week of April 14, the City is introducing new traffic signal patterns at intersections along St. Albert Trail between Hebert Road/Gervais Road and Boudreau Road/Giroux Road, meaning that motorists will only be able to turn left on advances with flashing green arrows, not on a regular green light. These changes are a result of a review of signal timing and intersection operations conducted by the City, which began in April 2013 and consisted of updating traffic counts and pedestrian counts, collecting collision data and review intersection operations at several intersections along the St. Albert Trail corridor, as well as along Boudreau Road, Giroux Road, McKenney Avenue, Bellerose Drive,

Hebert Road and Gervais Road. “Ensuring the safety of all residents and motorists in St. Albert is paramount,� Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release. “Our goal is to eliminate severe injury or fatality occurrences on our roadways. Focusing on enhancements that put the motorists’ or pedestrians’ safety first is our priority.� In addition to the intersections along St. Albert Trail, similar traffic signal patterns will be implemented at other intersections, including: t XFTUCPVOE )FCFSU 3PBE BU St. Albert Trail; t FBTUCPVOE (FSWBJT 3PBE BU St. Albert Trail; and t FBTUCPVOE 4U "OOF 4USFFU BU St. Albert Trail. According to the City, in 2013, there were 111 collisions in St. Albert related to left turn movements, resulting in one fatality and 30 injury-related incidents. Sixty-eight of those happened along St. Albert Trail.

t’s hard to try to handicap or analyze the upcoming Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership race at this point, considering that no one has officially entered the race just yet. It would be kind of like trying to pick a winner in the marathon in the Olympic Games when no one has Yp >c\ee :ffb taken their spot on the starting line. However, it’s a little too tempting to at least take a look at the possibility of Doug Horner taking another run at the PC party leadership, not in the least because it would be a great distinction to have the next premier of Alberta come from a riding that covers at least a portion of St. Albert. Horner hasn’t made a final decision one way or the other, but he said in the St. Albert Leader last week that he’s “leaving the door open” on the possibility of running. The problem with Horner’s candidacy, though, is how close he was perceived to be to former premier Alison Redford. Essentially, Horner and his supporters handed Redford the PC party leadership the last time around; the votes from his supporters’ preferential ballots propelled Redford past Gary Mar and into the premier’s chair. His loyalty was rewarded with plumb posts as deputy premier and minister of finance. Now, with Redford having been run out of town under scandals like her overpriced trip to South Africa and allegations that she ordered the construction of a penthouse suite during renovations to the federal building in Edmonton, some of the mud being hurled at the former premier will undoubtedly splatter on Horner — or at least it will in the eyes of his opponents. Should Horner decide to throw his hat in the ring, the only way he’ll have a chance of winning is to distance himself from Redford and the mistakes she made. But his opponents — especially ones that weren’t part of her cabinet — likely won’t let voters forget that. Horner also said in last week’s Leader that politics can be tough on politician’s families, and if he doesn’t separate himself from the old regime, this fall’s race could be awfully tough on him.

ave you ever told a loved one what medical care you would want should you be involved in a vehicle accident, suffer a stroke or fall into a coma? Do you know what your elderly parents wishes are for end of life? Do you have a Personal Directive, a will, an Enduring Power of Attorney, and life insurance to care for loved ones? Conversations regarding these matters can be challenging and uncomfortable and, from what we know, are not always happening prior to the need. According to Louise Hanvey, project director for Advance Care Planning in Canada, surveys indicate six out of 10 Canadians feel these discussions are important but only 45 per cent have talked about it. Research suggests having a plan will not only

As a social worker in a long-term care facility, part of my role is to ensure that, when people come into care, their Personal Directives and Enduring Powers of Attorney are in place. A Personal Directive is a legal document that names an agent of your choice to speak on your behalf about matters of health care and residence should you be unable. An Enduring Power of Attorney names an attorney to manage your financial

and property matters. You do not need a lawyer to draw up a Personal Directive but it is advised for a Power of Attorney. These documents need to be enacted to be in effect and this can happen in different ways.

one wants to make decisions around care when one choice can mean terminating a life. That is an incredible burden to place on someone. I have witnessed families conflicted when they were unsure of what funeral plans their loved one wanted. It can create dynamics when people are grieving that otherwise may not arise. Life is uncertain and having your wishes known and a plan in place will not only put you at ease, but it is a gift we leave our families should the unexpected happen. Having these things down on paper ensures our wishes will be carried out and our families can know what we would want. It can be a comfort in a storm.

A total of five teachers from St. Albert are in the running for a prestigious provincial award. Alberta Education announced last week the semifinalists for the 2014 Excellence in Teaching Awards, which have been given out each year since 1989 to recognize creative, innovative, and effective teachers throughout the province. The semifinalists from St. Albert include: t +BTPO %BCCBHI #FMMFSPTF Composite High School); t .JDIBFM $ /H 1BVM ,BOF

and thank them for their contributions.� Semifinalists receive certificates of recognition from the provincial government and access to $1,500 for professional development. Should a teacher go on to be selected as one of this year’s 20 award recipients, though, he or she will receive a certificate, a commemorative pin and access to $4,000 for professional EFWFMPQNFOU 8JOOFST BSF BMTP recognized at a special dinner and ceremony, to be held in May.

she said. Her actual birthday celebration involved a brunch at the St. Albert Inn and Suites with her family, and she also received letters of congratulations from Gov. Gen. David Johnston, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former Alberta premier Alison Redford. Manning was born on March 11, 1914, on a farm near the village of Forestburg, Alta., southeast of Camrose. She lived on the family farm until she was 18. She and her

husband, Richard, lived in Claresholm, Alta., until they retired. They then moved to the village of Balfour in the Kootenays of British Columbia, but when Richard had a lung removed due to cancer, they decided to move closer to their two sons, who lived in St. Albert — but not too close, as they lived in an apartment in Morinville. Richard passed away in 2001 at the age of 87. As for the secret of her own longevity, Manning said it’s pretty simple. “You’ve just got to take it one day at a time,� she said.

Mayors and chief administrative officers from municipalities across Alberta are converging this week in St. Albert to talk about some of the pressing issues they are facing. 4UBSUJOH UPEBZ ćVSTEBZ BOE running into Friday, the City of St. Albert is hosting the 2014 Mid-Sized Cities Caucus Meeting, giving mayors and CAOs from 21 Alberta municipalities the chance to share ideas, discuss challenges and collaborate on issues. “This meeting is very important for the leaders of mid-sized DJUJFT w .BZPS /PMBO $SPVTF TBJE in a press release. “The issues we are dealing with are very

different from those facing large metropolitan areas or small towns.� A mid-sized municipality is defined as one that has an urban population of at least 15,000 or is officially designated as a city, but does not include either Calgary or Edmonton. The event kicks off with a EJOOFS UPOJHIU ćVSTEBZ BOE continues with all-day meetings on Friday. There will also a couple of special guests attending: Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Ken Hughes and Alberta Urban Municipalities Association president Helen Rice. The Mid-Sized Cities Caucus Meeting is hosted in a different city each year. The last time St. Albert hosted was in 2007.

The City of St. Albert is taking the first steps to hopefully help people find their way around a little easier. Last week, the City started the first stage of its new wayfinding system with the installation of signs helping mark address numbers along St. Albert Trail. The signs feature a large, easy-toread font and the fixtures incorporate portions of the City’s botanical arts brand. The signs are also placed strategically to allow drivers a chance to change lanes with time to spare. “From an economic development standpoint, we want to ensure that we are directing visitors

and residents to a wide variety of attractions and businesses in St. Albert in the most effective manner,� Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release. “The number one complaint we hear from our businesses on St. Albert Trail is there is confusion as to what block they are on. This is why the insertion of block markers are a high priority.� A wayfinding expert from Destination Development International — the firm that helped developed the City’s botanical arts brand — visited St. Albert in October 2012, and the City completed a wayfinding master plan in 2013. Other initiatives that will be part of the program include signs along St. Albert Trail directing motorists to attractions off the main roadway, signs directing pedestrians along their way, and parking signs in the downtown core. The entire wayfinding program should be in place by the end of October.

Charges will not be laid in the death of a road construction worker in St. Albert last October. On Wednesday, Oct. 9, a 25-year-old man was killed when he was struck a pickup truck while members of the road construction crew he was working with at the intersection of Hebert Road and Akins Drive were moving vehicles and equipment. The man was transported by EMS to the Sturgeon Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour after the call first came in. St. Albert RCMP and provincial Occupational Health and Safety officials conducted separate investigations into the crash. But, after police forwarded the findings of their investigation to provincial Crown prosecutors, it was determined that no charges would be pursued. Road conditions, weather, speed and alcohol were all ruled out as causes early in the investigation.

Winter in Edmonton is about to go downhill fast — dangerously fast. The city will host the Red Bull Crashed Ice downhill ice cross world championships in March 2015, a first in Western Canada. “It is one of the most daring, exciting and, yes, crazy sports in the world,” said Coun. Amarjeet Sohi, making the announcement outside the Shaw Conference Centre, where the course is expected to begin. The sport involves four racers barrelling down 600 metres of winding ice track on skates downhill towards a finish line, which some have said could be placed in the river valley near Louise McKinney Park. Championship races have taken place in cities around the world but the 2015 tour will be the first one to come to Western Canada. According to Brad Ferguson, president of the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation, the bid to host the race was about 18 months in the making. The race is expected to cost a million dollars, with funding coming from both city and provincial governments as well as the private sector. Neither government has said yet whether that investment will be made in cash or inkind services like policing and crowd

Details about the event are still being smoothed out as other venues for the tour are being decided upon. According to Minister of Tourism Richard Starke, the event is expected to attract more than 60,000 people and has the potential to bring up to $8 million in revenue to the city. “A lot of excitement amongst the hoteliers,” said Starke. “It’s a

great time of year to showcase the city because it gives us a festival in a non-traditional time of year.” Ferguson says his revenue estimate is a bit more conservative at around $4 million to $5 million but he is confident the event, which will be free for the public, will be worth the investment if businesses use the opportunity well enough. “You’ve got this influx of people who come in for a fourday event. The question is, how do you turn that into an

eight-day event?” he said. He added other events like hockey tournaments can draw spectators during the same time period, who will likely rent hotel rooms, buy food and visit other attractions. Should the event be a success, organizers are hoping Edmonton will alternate with Quebec City every second year as the Canadian stop on the tour. Details about the dates and track route for the ice cross are expected to come in September.

Alex Mahé is hoping to breathe new life into some old songs on his new CD. The St. Albert-based children’s entertainer is celebrating the release of Réveillons les bonnes chansons!, his first allFrench album in 13 years, this Sunday at the St. Albert Community Hall (17 Perron St.). The CD is a mix of original and traditional songs, and Mahé hopes his energy and musicianship can help “wake up” some of the old standards. “I always have liked to have a few traditional songs as part of the album because of the familiarity; it’s a hook for the kids to hear a song they know,” he said. “They like that, to hear some familiarity, and hopefully they’ll listen to the other songs and become familiar with (them). ... I like to keep the generational sounds alive.” The CD is geared toward kids three to 10 years of age, and like his previous albums, Mahé’s got his family involved, including nieces and nephews who are part of the choir, and his 87-year-old mother helping with some of the grammar in the lyrics. “Mom, even at her age, is one of my main supporters,” Mahé said. “She’s always behind me.” Other guest musicians on the album include Juno Award-nominated drummer Chad Melchert, pianist David Fraser and singer Mireille Moquin. And the cover art for the CD was done by St. Albert Leader cartoonist Fred Curatolo, as part of an exchange where Mahé played a kids’ birthday party for him. Mahé, 55, was born in St. Paul, Alta., and grew up on a nearby farm with six brothers and three sisters. Being squarely in the middle of the pack in terms of age, Mahé spent almost as much time entertaining his younger siblings as he did helping his

His family wasn’t terribly musical, though, except for a guitar case that belonged to his father and stayed in the rafters of their home. “My older brothers would point at this

“From him, I bought a Mansfield guitar for 35 bucks, which I still have today and use for some of my smaller shows,” Mahé said, noting that he’s still friends with Stark, and he too plays on the new album. He then spent another two months

backpacking around the Maritimes, where his love for music and songwriting grew, and he also realized he wanted to pursue a career helping children. Soon after he returned to Alberta, Mahé enrolled in the early childhood development program at Grant MacEwan Community College, becoming its firstever male graduate in 1981. But the music bug still had a strong hold on him, and he went on to host a children’s TV show called Alex Mahé’s Goodtime Train starting in 1986. He released his first album under the same title in 1989, followed by Railroad Rendzvous in 1992, Zim Zam Zoom in 1995 and Maïs Soufflé — his first all-French release — in 2001. “Everywhere I go, still to this day, I can’t leave the building without doing ‘The Popcorn Song,’” Mahé said with a laugh. “People really love the rhyming words, and they can relate to popcorn making a mess accidentally.” In his career, Mahé also received a distinguished alumni award from MacEwan in 2009, and in 2011, he was an ambassador for St. Albert’s 150th

anniversary celebrations. Mahé released his last album, Wakin’ Up the Sunshine, in 2006. The big gap in between, he said, is due to the pressures of being an independent musician. “It consumes a lot of time, doing the bookwork of it all,” he said. “But I try to do as much of that as I can, then I jump down to the music room and pick up the guitar. I’ve been managing, but it’s sometimes quite stressful.” However, he recently was approached by the Ottawa-based Association des professionnels de la chanson et de la musique (APCM), who have agreed to help him distribute the new album. And he already has songs written for his next album, although that’s only one of many irons in the fire, including a Christmas album, a kids’ book and an album for adults. The CD release party for Réveillons les bonnes chansons! takes place at the St. Albert Community Hall on Sunday, April 6, beginning at 1:30 p.m. For more information on Mahé and his music, visit www.alexmahe.com.

By the end of last week, 50 health care workers were better equipped to deal with hoarding. The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Edmonton Region hosted a conference on community-based hoarding interventions from Wednesday, March 26, until Friday, March 28. Michele Markham, mental health recovery services manager with CMHA Edmonton, said mental illness is stigmatized as is and shows on hoarders do more damage than good. “That stuff on TV, that’s squalor and filth,” she said. The official definition includes three criteria — the acquisition of and failure to discard a large number of possessions that appear to be useless or of limited value; living spaces are sufficiently clutter so as to preclude activities for which the spaces were designed; and significant distress or impairment in functioning caused by the hoarding.

Markham said an estimated five per cent of the population are hoarders to varying degrees. The hoarding can cause depression, anxiety and immobility. “We’ve come across people who have been immobilized by the amount of stuff in their house,” she said. Paper is one of the most common items people have difficulty getting rid of. For a paper hoarder who smokes, there is a risk of burning the house down. Hoarding can also impair the ability of an ambulance stretcher to make it through a home. The conference includes working with environmental workers, building inspectors, police officers and health workers. Clinicians who work with people who hoard are getting certification in cognitive behavioural therapy for hoarders. “There needs to be more knowledge,” she said. “Hoarding can be really frustrating to those who are supporting or in the life of someone who hoards.”

The first step is dealing with a risk to physical safety. Currently, bylaws don’t cover hoarders who hoard in a house they don’t live in. Resources are currently limited, Markham said, and having a one-onone worker to help people work through the emotional difficulty associated with hoarding. “It can be attached to obsessivecompulsive disorder, it can be attached to anxiety disorder, trauma, abuse,” she said. “I know a case where a woman experienced a house fire and lost everything and then hoarded as a result.” She added hoarding signs can be seen in childhood, with skewed ideas of the value of objects. For anyone 55 and older, the Seniors Association of Greater Edmonton has supports for hoarders. People younger than 55 can contact the Edmonton CMHA. The next support group is starting in September.

of his training. “It really gives you an appreciation for the act I just don’t see things the way experienced surgeons do,” said Snelgrove. Their latest study using three highly experienced surgeons and seven newer practitioners was recently published in the American Journal of Surgery.

;`\k jf[X Zfee\Zk\[ kf _\Xik kiflYc\ `e nfd\e “We were interested in this research because there was a relative lack of data about diet drinks and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality,� Dr. Ankur Vyas, the lead investigator of the study, said. For the study, researchers divided a group of women into four consumption groups: two or more diet drinks a day, five to seven diet drinks per week, one to four diet drinks per week, and zero to three diet drinks per month. They were monitored for nearly nine years.

JLE D<;@8 E<NJ J<IM@:<J Æ The largest study of its kind suggests postmenopausal women who drink two or more diet drinks a day may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. According to research conducted by a team at the University of Iowa, women who consumed two or more a day were 30 per cent more likely to suffer a cardiovascular event and 50 per cent more likely to die from related disease than women who never or only rarely consume diet drinks.

Vyas says the association between diet drinks and cardiovascular problems raises more questions than it answers. “We only found an association, so we can’t say that diet drinks cause these problems,� Vyas said, adding that there may be other factors about people who drink more diet drinks that could explain the connection. “It’s too soon to tell people to change their behaviour based on this study; however, based on these and other findings we have a responsibility to

do more research to see what is going on and further define the relationship, if one truly exists,� he adds. “This could have major public health implications.� About one in five people in the U.S. consume diet drinks on a given day, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Alberta’s unsafe workplaces better shape up, warns Labour Minister Thomas Lukaszuk, now that Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) officers have the authority to issue big fines and tickets for safety violations. The first 10 OHS officers to graduate from peace officer training with new ticketing powers received their certificates during a ceremony at the Art Gallery of Alberta last week. The government says the new designation will allow OHS officers conducting inspections to issue administrative fines of up to $10,000 and tickets of up to $500 to employers and workers who cut corners and put people at risk. Calling it a “historic first for Alberta,” Lukaszuk said OHS educational programs have been successful but it’s time for serious re-offenders to take a hit to the pocketbook. “We will be slapping them with tickets and fines because no one has the right to put themselves in danger and in particular, no one has the right to put their co-workers in danger by not practising safe rules around the workplace,” said Lukaszuk.

Revenue from the tickets will likely go to OHS educational programs but Lukaszuk said it’s something he’s working out with Alberta Treasury Board and Finance. A portion may go into general revenues, he said, but the “ultimate goal” is to beef up OHS. “It’s not meant to be a moneygenerator. These are peace officers. I’m not placing any quotas on them but I will support their decisions and if a peace officer feels that they have to issue a ticket or fine, they will do so.” Lukaszuk said the initiative has been very well received by employers and unions. Training will continue in 2014 until all 143 OHS officers are certified to write tickets. The next set is expected to graduate in June. OHS Peace Officer graduate Jay Ambler can now write tickets for 67 provisions under the law, including $500 tickets to employers who don’t have Materials Safety Data Sheets and $200 tickets to workers who fail to wear safety vests when exposed to traffic. “It’s well known that this is a new tool and I think it’s spread through the industry,” said Ambler, adding many of his inspections are unannounced spot-checks.

They’re not going to sell you shampoo or the latest kitchen gadget, they’re going to sell you shares in their new company — and give you shampoo samples as well. “Funding for new companies has always been tough because of the risk involved,â€? says Edmonton-based business advisor and crowdfunding expert Don Pare, a successful entrepreneur in his own right. “After the financial crisis of 2008, traditional investment money dried up. The whole world became deeply risk-adverse. Governments knew something had to be done, otherwise the new innovative business sector would be starved out of existence. “The traditional model wasn’t working,â€? says Pare. “At the best of times, very few startup companies can afford the $50,000 to $100,000 it takes to prepare a new offering on the stock market, only to find nobody wants to buy their stock.â€?

At the same time, crowdfunding websites were coming on line, as a way of dramatically dropping the cost of buying shares in startup companies. Three years ago, the British government created rules for those website, that, in their essence, allow individuals like you and me to easily buy shares in little companies.

Craig Knox and Michael Wilson had the coolest idea. Plus perfect timing. The two researchers came up with an idea for a company, a “health dashboard for your body.� OMX Personal Health Diagnostics is one of the first “crowdfunded� startup companies in Edmonton. The duo work in a University of Alberta metabolomics lab, metabolomics being a new scientific ability to diagnose disease through urine analysis. The technology and its scientific foundation is in its early stages, but it’s a medical advance that, should it prove to be accurate, inexpensive and easy to use, could eventually end up in every family doc’s medical bag. We’re at the beginning of something big, said the two U of A researchers. Why don’t we start a personal health monitoring company based on metabolomics — a subscriber-based service would analyze individual urine samples four times a year to optimize personal health? And why not start with a self-funded pilot project? Thus was OMX born as one of Edmonton’s first “crowdfunded� knowledge-based companies. “We went through Facebook,� says Michael. “We were looking for 30 subscribers. In exchange for a $300 fee, they’d be our first subscribers, receiving our My OMX kit, sending in their samples so we could give them a health report.� Interest was high. In no time, the duo had their 30 subscribers — and $9,000 seed money for OMX. Crowdfunding itself is still in its infancy. Crowdfunding is quite revolutionary, and is being touted as the magic bullet to get young innovative companies off the ground by providing funding where no funding was before.

Commission proposed rules to fully allow the buying of shares through crowdfunding sites, giving investors some protection as well. As the Ontario Securities Commission goes, so goes the Alberta financial regulators. Business-friendly Saskatchewan is ahead of Alberta, having already set up favourable crowdfunding rules for dynamic startup companies that move to the province. Pare thinks crowdfunding will revolutionize the way money is raised for small companies, allowing hundreds of thousands of little guys like you and me, through crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, to invest $10 in this, $20 in that, receiving some sample product and the prospect, however slim, of hitting a financial home run. Just think of it like going to the casino! OMX is already preparing a more typical crowdfunding campaign for its next round of raising seed capital from the public. “Probably a Kickstarter campaign,� says Michael. “It’s empowering. It’s way less expensive than the traditional means of raising capital for a small company like ours. “It all fits. And if we’re successful, we can continue to scale up OMX to meet demand.�
