:FM<I The construction of a junior/ senior high school on the northwest corner of Eldorado Park moved closer to reality Tuesday when, despite the objections of nearby residents, city council gave two readings to bylaws that would rezone the entire park to give the Alberta government some flexibility in the school’s placement on the Erin Ridge site. See story, page 4.

The spirit of giving is even stronger in students from St. Albert Catholic High School after spending their spring back helping out people still picking up the pieces from hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. The students were in New Orleans from Feb. 1 to 9, splitting into three groups to help rebuild homes in the area in what has become an annual trip for Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools. “It was a really big surprise. It’s been nine years since the hurricane happened, and I didn’t expect there to be so many houses that still need to be repaired and so many people Photo Supplied that still aren’t fully recovered from the disaster,â€? said Grade 12 student Jkl[\ekj Xe[ k\XZ_\ij ]ifd Jk% 8cY\ik :Xk_fc`Z ?`^_ JZ_ffc j_fn f]] X j\k f] jkX`ij k_\p Yl`ck fe X _fd\ `e E\n Fic\Xej [li`e^ k_\`i i\Z\ek d`jj`fe ki`g k_\i\% K_\ Xi\X `j jk`cc g`Zb`e^ lg k_\ g`\Z\j ]ifd _lii`ZXe\ BXki`eX% Christianna Czyz.

It looks like St. Albert city council will take a recess before making a final decision on the redistricting of land for a francophone junior/senior high school in Erin Ridge. After hearing from almost 30 speakers at a public hearing Tuesday, city councillors gave the first two readings to bylaws that would amend the Erin Ridge area structure plan and redistrict seven acres of land in Eldorado Park to allow the school to be built in the northwest corner of the park rather than in the northeast corner, where it was originally slated to go. Third and final reading of the bylaws was blocked, though, when unanimous consent could not be reached. “I want more time to think about this. ‌ We’ve been given

bad choice A and bad choice B, and I feel like we’re between a rock and a hard place,â€? said Coun. Sheena Hughes, who, along with Coun. Cam MacKay, voted against unanimous consent. Council chambers were overflowing with people both supporting and opposing the rezoning. Proponents were mainly officials with the Conseil Scolaire du Centre-Nord, which oversees francophone education in northern Alberta, and parents of children in the francophone system. “This process has gone on long enough. There has been ample public consultation. The information is clear and precise,â€? said Lise Roy-Maxwell, president of the parent council at École Alexandre-TachĂŠ. “... Let’s not waste any more time. Let’s just get the job done.â€? Meanwhile, residents who live near Eldorado Park were back before council to reiterate their concerns over traffic, parking, the size of the school and the loss of green space.

Erin Ridge Drive is the most dangerous road in all of Erin Ridge, and (the school site) is within feet of the most dangerous intersection,â€? said resident Don Scott. Others were worried that the redistricting would create a

dangerous precedent that could see other city parks turned into school sites. Prior to the second readings, council voted on two supplementary motions. The first, which passed unanimously, was put forward by Coun. Cathy Heron to have any remnant lands not subdivided to the school

reverted back to parkland. “This is really to give the residents of Erin Ridge some comfort that the remaining space behind the school will be grass and fields and trails and such,� Heron said. “If we leave it (rezoned), there is always the possibility that, 10 years from now, some encroachment of the school could occur, and I want to make sure that doesn’t happen.� The second motion was made by MacKay and would have limited the amount of land allocated to the school to 2.99 acres — the size of the original parcel in the northeast corner of the park. That motion was defeated 5-2, as most councillors wanted to have some leeway to add an area off the street for buses and cars to pull in to drop off students. “I would give up a half-acre of space in my own neighbourhood if it meant that we ensure pedestrian and student safety,� said Coun. Gilles Prefontaine. Third reading of both bylaws will be back on council’s agenda on Monday.

In terms of traffic and parking, placing a new francophone junior/senior high school on the northwest corner of Eldorado Park is best option, according to a study released by the City of St. Albert on Friday. The traffic and parking study was prepared by Bunt and Associates Engineering and was published on the City’s website on Friday. The study’s authors conclude that the site on the northwest corner of Eldorado Park is preferable to the originally zoned site in the park’s northeast corner for several reasons, including:

The study also recommends timed parking restrictions along Erin Ridge Drive, a 40 km/h “hospital zone� along Erin Ridge Drive from Boudreau Road to Erin Ridge Road, and the creation of a formal residential parking program in the neighbourhood. Other suggestions in the study include midblock sidewalk extensions in two places where the trail system crosses Erin Ridge Drive to cut down on shortcutting activity; investigating timing plans and geometry at nearby intersections on St. Albert Trail to improve traffic flow on side streets; and the establishment of an advisory committee of area residents for a more thorough review and analysis of possible mitigation strategies.

Economic Development was directed by council to negotiate an agreement with the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce to provide tourism information and welcome services from the Chamber building on St. Albert Trail on a fee-forservice basis. Tourist information services were moved to St. Albert Place in January 2013.

Dubbed “Cultivating Our Future,� the project will include an intensive community wide public engagement leading to the creation of long-term vision of what St. Albertans want their city to look and feel like in the future.

A woman was sent to hospital Tuesday after a collision involving a car and a pedestrian. St. Albert RCMP were called to the McDonald’s location at 369 St. Albert Tr. just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, after the collision occurred in the parking lot and was called in. The female pedestrian was transported to hospital via ground ambulance. Police are still investigating the incident. Few details were available as of press deadline as the investigation was still in its early stages. KI8==@: :?8I><J Meanwhile, a 57-year-old woman is facing a trio of traffic charges after an incident downtown Friday. Just before 1 p.m., RCMP attempted to stop a vehicle for not signalling while turning at the intersection of Sir Winston Churchill Avenue and Grandin Road. As the officer walked toward the stopped vehicle, the driver took off toward Taché Avenue, dropped off a male passenger and then parked in the lot on the west side of Taché Avenue. The Mountie caught up to the female driver, and charged her with driving an unregistered motor vehicle, driving without a valid license, and failing to signal for a turn. The 59-year-old male passenger eventually returned to the scene and was arrested for interfering with a police investigation. Charges against the man may be laid pending a health evaluation.

ver the past six months or so, the fight over a proposed francophone junior/ senior high school in Erin Ridge has turned pretty nasty at times. Petitions, public meetings and public hearings have not exactly boiled over, but they have come close. But no matter where in Eldorado Yp >c\ee :ffb Park the school will be built — and, as many proponents of the school pointed out at the latest public hearing on Tuesday, it will be built there; it’s simply a matter of where and how big it is — there are bigger issues at play. One of those issues is, of course, traffic and parking in the area, which were already a problem before the issue of the school came up thanks to motorists cutting through the subdivision to get to Erin Ridge North and parking along Erin Ridge Drive to go to the Sturgeon Community Hospital. But another issue is how school sites are allocated in the first place. It’s an issue that, although not directly related to the Eldorado Park rezoning, came up often Tuesday. As was pointed out by Mayor Nolan Crouse and City of St. Albert staff members on Tuesday, the school site allocation committee was formed in 2004 in an attempt to depoliticize the site allocation process by taking it out of council’s hands and delegating it to a third party. The City and the three school boards agreed to the process, and then never really had to put it into practice. But, now that St. Albert is back at the front of the queue for new schools, this hands-off approach is clearly not working. As evidenced in this latest go-round, council doesn’t have the oversight it needs to make sure the committee is making decisions that are in the best interests of residents. And when those residents come to council to affect change, all councillors can really do is tell them their hands are tied. Still, this should not negate the decision to locate this school in Erin Ridge. The process, flawed as it may be, was followed, and it was the only one set out at the time. In the future, though, school site allocation is a responsibility council needs to take back so it can have more transparency and accountability.

e’ve all heard the old proverb that it takes a village to raise a child. By the same token, I believe it takes volunteers to make a community successful. I have had the great opportunity to serve with many of my fellow St. Albertans on different organizations, all with the same goal: to make our city a livable, welcoming community for ourselves and our families. Many of us look solely to our leadership to accomplish this, but I believe it cannot be accomplished by them alone. It truly depends on each of us and what we can offer. Last month, we celebrated the official launch of the Kidsport St. Albert Chapter. Kidsport is an organization that provides financial

BXk_c\\e

I8E>< Jk% 8cY\ik B`[jgfik Dp :`kp assistance to families of up to $300 per child, per year, so that their children can participate in organized sport. But it also goes beyond sport because it provides youth the opportunity to become healthy and engaged citizens in our community. The provincial Kidsport Alberta Chapter has been funding between 50 and 100 children in the St. Albert area over the past several years. But without active participation by community members, it would never have the presence in our city to truly make an impact.

Bringing a Kidsport chapter to St. Albert was an idea that germinated a few years ago, but struggled to find a group of committed volunteers to see it through to its launch. During the process, I learned that while you can identify a need in the community, and even have significant financial backing to support it, without the hands to help it along, it may never see the light of day. Today, we are an organization with a permanent home in the Akinsdale Arena, a board of six dedicated individuals — half of them under age 30 — and money in the bank to support hundreds of St. Albert children so they won’t have to sit by the sidelines. My greater hope is that one day, these same children will see the value in what

Kidsport St. Albert is very thankful to have had the support of our mayor, City of St. Albert social and recreation staff, and many pivotal community partners, to help see this organization through to its launch. We plan to be a long-term fixture in the community and we would like to see our fellow community members out at our upcoming events, or even around our board room table.

?fn [`[ pfl ^\k `ekf d`o\[ dXik`Xc Xikj `e k_\ Ă”ijk gcXZ\6 I was running track and field, and I hurt my knee at nationals. I took a year off, came home and joined a gym. One of the personal trainers had a whole bunch of fights and kept saying, ‘Come try it.’ I had always followed the sport, but the first time I went, I lost six pounds of sweat in the first practice, and I was instantly hooked. I was like, ‘I’m never going to run on a treadmill again.’

It just has that horrible stigma, that you have to be mean, you have to be tattooed up. I don’t have a tattoo. I don’t have a mohawk. Literally, I watch fight tapes and I teach young kids how to protect themselves. I’m the least aggressive, confrontational person — until I fight. Then every ounce of aggression I ever had comes out.

It’s not even getting hit hard; it’s getting hit clean. And the first time I got hit clean, I was like, ‘Uh-oh.’ I took three steps back — ‘OK, it’s Tuesday, it’s 8:30 at night. Nope, I’m still good.’ [laughs]

K\cc d\ XYflk pfli Ôijk gif Ô^_k% Three months to the day after I first set foot into an MMA gym, I had my first pro fight. I was awful. Horrible. It’s still the only loss of my career. But the best thing is that I learned so much. I didn’t really know what went into the sport. I was training Tuesday and Thursday nights, and I thought that was enough. After that loss, I took a year off to actually learn how to fight. I started training five days a week, and then I was N_Xk _Xj b\gk pfl ^f`e^ still doing those Tuesday `e k_\ jgfik Xcc k_`j k`d\6 and Thursday nights. ‌ I’m absolutely competitive.

And I’m in a couple of schools where I go in two weeks out of the semester and teach them kickboxing. I absolutely love it. We have some kids classes, kids jiu jitsu and kickboxing. And I love watching kids come in who are super quiet get out there and be a kid, not get picked on and have that selfconfidence. It changes the way they carry themselves.

in or I’m out. That’s the only way you can do this sport. After I lost my first fight, most people would be like, ‘I want to quit,’ but I made the conscious decision to train full-time, to put in as many hours as possible. And I kept learning, kept getting better. And when you start winning fights, you want to keep going to see where you can go.

The University of Alberta has teamed up with an advocacy organization to fight homophobia, transphobia and discrimination in sports. The partnership between the You Can Play Project and the U of A’s Sexual Minority Studies and Services (iSMSS) comes while state-sanctioned discrimination against gays in Russia during the Olympic Games is drawing international attention to the issue. “I think we’re at almost a tipping point in our society around LGBTQ issues and sports,� said Dr. Kristopher Wells with iSMSS. “With the Sochi games, for the first time perhaps ever, the world is talking about LGBTQ issues in athletics and beyond as human rights issues.� The partnership will go beyond raising

While Burke and Davis mostly draw from personal experience for their advocacy work, the iSMSS team will use data from its extensive academic research to develop new strategies aimed at fostering environments where LGBTQ athletes can thrive and feel safe. “There are methods that I’m not smart enough to figure out that these guys are. And we can go in and test how well those work,� Burke said. The iSMSS has garnered international attention for the website NoHomoPhobes. com, which tracks hateful Twitter posts, and Camp fYrefly, a leadership retreat for sexual and gender minority youth. A postdoctoral fellow will lead the team’s research. Visit postdoc.ualberta.ca to apply or learn more about the opportunity.

St. Albert’s mayor is optimistic about the year ahead, but there are areas for improvement, he told an audience at the Enjoy Centre last week. Mayor Nolan Crouse delivered his annual State of the City address at the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 12, telling a packed audience — which included both local MLAs, Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson, Sturgeon County Mayor Tom Flynn and several other elected officials from around the region — that St. Albert is poised to excel in areas like economic development, infrastructure maintenance, environmental protection and regional co-operation over the next year. “I have great optimism about our future as a community and as a region,” he said. “I thank each one of you for being part of that.” However, Crouse pointed out that the average age of the city’s population is just under 40 and trending upward, and St. Albert must figure out how to be more age-friendly.

“What we need to be able to do is be thinking about, what does that really mean to the socioeconomic profile and the future of our community?” he said. “We welcome these seniors from Edmonton; that’s not the issue. The issue is, if you become known as a retirement community only, then pretty soon it starts to shift what you do.” He also pointed to the abnormally high number of traffic fatalities that occurred in St. Albert in 2013, and said steps are already being taken to reduce those. “Those families who suffered through those traffic fatalities deserve better,” the mayor said. When asked about the status of the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan, Crouse said it’s now a matter of connecting willing landowners and developers, and he had at least one area in his crosshairs. “The Blind Pig pub needs to go,” he said, referring to the building at the corner of St. Albert Trail and St. Anne Street. On the positive side of things, though, Crouse touted the city’s housing situation, with more multi-family housing coming onstream and more developers competing for customers.

they’re going broke, they’re going in debt. … We’re not going broke, and in fact what we’re doing is setting ourselves up for growth.” Crouse also noted St. Albert’s waste diversion rate, which currently sits at 67 per cent and should get a boost from recycling and composting programs starting up in City buildings and local elementary schools. He also garnered a round of applause when he said the City would “re-assess the Youth Centre closure to see if there’s anything we should be doing different.”

The biggest problem Jimmy Fallon faces as he takes over The Tonight Show is that we don’t know what we want. By “we,” I mean the viewing public. We do not speak with one voice. And the loudest ones aren’t always the wisest ones. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon debuted Monday evening on NBC and CTV Two. Fallon is the sixth full-time host in the history of the franchise, and his first guests included Will Smith and U2. Like Conan O’Brien, Fallon has been promoted from his hosting gig on Late Night. O’Brien, as you’ll recall, was criticized for not appealing to that unofficial and burdensome thing known as “middle America,” and he lasted less than a year in The Tonight Show chair. There were many factors at play, but Fallon anticipates no such shenanigans this time. “I don’t think anything sneaky is going on here, anything shady,” Fallon said. “I trust everyone involved. NBC has been totally behind me the whole

way through and I think this one is going to work.” Wisely, Fallon already is anticipating the ups and downs of the first few months. “I think we’ll do great during the Olympics, because we’ll have that leadin, with the Olympics (on NBC),” Fallon said. “And then when Seth (Meyers debuts on Late Night, Feb. 24 on NBC and CTV), that will keep things up, because people will be excited to see Seth. “After that, I know the headlines are going to be, ‘Oh, (ratings for The Tonight Show) are down 40 per cent, oh my gosh.’ But it’s just that we won’t be following the Olympics any more. Eventually we’ll settle into where we’re going to be, which I think will be pretty good.” So what will “middle America” make of Jimmy Fallon? Remember, the people who currently make up

“middle America” are five years younger than the people who made up “middle America” when O’Brien took over from Jay Leno in 2009. Five years can make a big generational difference in terms of outlook and attitude. What I mean is, traditional viewers of The Tonight Show might be more open to Fallon in 2014 than traditional viewers of The Tonight Show were to O’Brien in 2009. And on top of that, I don’t think it’s outlandish to suggest that Fallon has more of a “mainstream” vibe than the quirky O’Brien ever did. That’s not a value judgment one way or the other, just an observation. Fallon essentially confirmed his mainstream approach when he commented, “Whoever comes on my show, I’ll make you look good. That’s my job. If you want to set the record st straight, we can do that, to But my job is to too. m make you look g good.”

C\^f Dfm`\ Zfek`el\j kf Zc`Zb n`k_ Xl[`\eZ\j# kfgj Yfo f]ÔZ\ JLE D<;@8 E<NJ J<IM@:<J Æ The Lego Movie, an animated film that depicts a world based on the colorful toy blocks, collected $48.8 million to top box office charts for a second week, finishing far ahead of romantic comedy About Last Night, which had ticket sales of $27 million on a U.S. holiday weekend that kicked off on Valentine’s Day. RoboCop, a remake of the 1987

science fiction film about a partman, part-cyborg crime fighter, was third with sales of $21.5 million from Friday to Sunday in the domestic market that includes the U.S. and Canada theaters, according to studio reports. Monday marked Presidents Day in the United States. The romantic drama Endless Love, one of three remakes of

1980s-era films opening in theaters, was fifth with $13.4 million, behind The Monuments Men, the story of a World War II unit that retrieves stolen art which stars George Clooney and Matt Damon and which earned $15 million in its second week, according to Rentrak. The tracking firm said it was the third-best Presidents Day result of all time, with about $177 million

expected from Friday to Sunday. Hollywood’s box office is running about 11.5 per cent above last year’s numbers, it said. The animated Lego Movie has earned nearly $130 million since opening on Feb. 7. Featuring the voices of Will Arnett and Elizabeth Banks, it portrays a world under attack by the evil Lord Business, who wants to destroy the Lego

About Last Night, a remake of the 1986 film that starred Rob Lowe and Demi Moore as young lovers, stars Kevin Hart and Regina Hall and was made for a relatively modest $12 million.

British actor Kit Harington is aware he’ll been pigeonholed in “swords and sandals” material moving from the critically acclaimed HBO fantasy series, Game of Thrones, to the historical disaster movie, Pompeii. But he’s OK with that. “I think a lot of actors early in their career get somewhat typecast in these roles,” said a shoeless Harington with his trusty pack of smokes nearby as he relaxed in a hotel room after a full day of interviews. “And I definitely am, as far as period pieces or sword-wielding action heroes, and that seems to be the thing I’m doing or have done at the moment. That is thanks to Game of Thrones. “And when this piece came along I was actually sort of, having done a couple of fantasy things, thinking, ‘I don’t want to do another one.’ “This wasn’t fantasy. It was historical. It was swords and sandals. I had a bit of reluctance.” But this time he’s carrying a movie — playing a slave-turned-gladiator named Milo who winds up trying to save a rich merchant’s daughter (Emily Browning) in

the doomed Italian port city circa 79 A.D. — and that’s a first for the 27-year-old star. “It’s weird putting it that way — carrying a film — but it’s absolutely justified,” said Harington. “But it was exciting to play a lead. What I found interesting was the process of being so connected to your crew and your director. ... And that immersion, that sort of obsessional, in there every day (thing), that’s almost theatrical in a way.” Harington also really liked the idea of “telling the stories of these people we’ve seen frozen in time. So that appealed to me. ... (And director Paul W.S. Anderson) was so enthusiastic and has such a passion for it and really sold me on the visuals.” Yes, Mount Vesuvius blows up in the movie with lots of smoke, fireballs, and lava running amok in glorious 3D along with an enormous tsunami wave, but the real special effect may be Harington’s awesome abs. He was up for the challenge of a “physical transformation,” to play Milo, taking about four to five weeks to prepare in London before shooting began in Toronto. He started bulking up with protein shakes, 4,000 calories daily and lifting weights, but then he realized the look didn’t fit the role. “The character’s meant to be very quick,

very lean, very energetic and the image I had was like a terrier or something,” said Harington. “And so we changed it. When I got out (to T.O.) I went out to under 2,000 calories a day. I starved myself. The muscles stayed but I dropped everything. (Producer) Jeremy Bolt came up with the idea of looking like Robert De Niro in Cape Fear, that kind of prison-fit type thing.” But given Harington is carrying the film, will he be biting his nails on opening weekend? “I’m calm about these things,” he said. “I take a laissez-faire attitude to stuff and my opinion is I’m always cynical about everything. I’m a pessimist about everything. I’m a Brit. So I take my dad’s opinion of things. “An optimist is just a pessimist without the facts. So I’m always prepared for the worst and go, ‘Well, you know, we’ll see what happens.’ “And if the worst does happen you just go, ‘Ah, well.’ But I’m hoping it does really well.” Next, however, is a small role in the Jeff Bridges-Julianne Moore fantasy film Seventh Son, due in 2015. “This time I’ve got a bow and arrow,” said Harington with a laugh. “I’ll get a gun one day. I’ll work my way up through the millennia.”

Jkl[p jXpj [flYc\ [Xk\j _\cg i\b`e[c\ gXjj`fej answered basic get-to-knowyou questions for 45 minutes. The questions started with easy ones, like, “What is your idea of a perfect day?� and some participants progressed to deeper, personal topics such as, “What was the most embarrassing moment in your life.� Those couples who got into the personal topics reported having higher feelings of passionate love — feeling of love that swells with excitement, obsession and physiological arousal — than those who only took part in chitchat. “Passionate love is one of the first dimensions of love to decrease in couples over time as the newness of a relationship begins to wane,� Welker said. “Relationships have widely been thought to flourish and develop in a broader network of social

relationships, while emerging research has suggested that novel, arousing experiences can increase feelings of passionate love.� He noted in an editorial for the conference that passionate love does tend to drop off gradually as a relationship evolves and couples become more familiar with each other. Instead of making time for dates and going out, couples begin to do more mundane things together and stay home watching a movie on their couch. Welker said double dates are a great starting point to help couples reignite their passionate love, although recommends doing the date in someone’s home rather than a restaurant so people feel comfortable enough to share. “The more that the other couple responds to your self-disclosures in a validating and caring way when on a double date, the more

The research, conducted by the Boston’s Children’s Hospital and published in Pediatrics, is the first to look at the long-term impact of bullying from elementary to high school. “Our research shows that long-term bullying has a severe impact on a child’s overall health, and that its negative effects can accumulate and get worse with time,â€? lead researcher Laura Bogart

stated. Bogart added that the research shows the need for bullying intervention earlier in order to prevent lasting damage down the road. The researchers followed 4,297 students from Grade 5 to 10, interviewing them about mental and physical health and experiences with bullying. The students who experienced bullying at any age had worse mental and physical health, more depressive symptoms and lower self worth, the researchers found.

The key to fixing a broken investment portfolio is not about being smarter or faster, says a local author — it’s about being a better consumer of financial services and products. Chris Turnbull is portfolio manager with the Index House in downtown Edmonton and an active member of the St. Albert chapter of the Canadian Progress Club. He recently wrote a book called Your Portfolio is Broken: Who’s to Blame and How to Fix It, and will be signing copies of the book on Saturday, March 8, at the Chapters location on St. Albert Trail. Turnbull said that a properly structured portfolio is the key to maximizing the return on your investment, not a mere collection of investments “The industry really wants to sell you products and predictions, and every professional really portrays themselves as having some edge that’s going to get you better returns,” he said. “In reality, if people look at the problems in portfolios, they’d realize that buying more products or predictions or hiring the next smarter, faster advisor doesn’t solve the problems.” In fact, with the Canadian Securities Association implementing a number of reforms between 2013 and 2016, Turnbull said consumers will have

more information at their disposal to make sound financial decisions, like commissions on bond trades, deferred sales charges on mutual funds and trailer fees. “The CSA did a number of surveys and over and over, they showed that investors didn’t know what their investments were costing them and they didn’t know how their advisor was being compensated,” he said. Turnbull was always interested in the “power of money,” and first got into the financial services industry after taking economics at the University of Alberta. But when he got on at the Index House, which is a

private counselling firm in Edmonton, he knew he’d have to hold himself to a higher professional standard. “The thing that makes me different is that I’m saying, ‘Look, just buying more mutual funds and more stocks, moving from one broker to another broker, is just doing more of the same thing, and if you’re doing the same thing, you’re going to get the same result,’” he said. He decided he needed to write a book when he recognized “what the industry was selling versus what portfolios really needed to do to correct those problems. “Just being interested in those

topics led me to start writing about it and start putting it into the form of a book,” he said. Turnbull wrote the book over a three-year period, which included two drafts. The first draft was more studyoriented and admittedly a little dry. “I really found that what would work better is a more folksy, easier read that’s less study-oriented and more common sense,” he said. “I revisited the material with that in mind, and was able to make the changes that really made it more interesting and easier to read. That’s the comment I get back from most people, that it’s easy to read and easy to understand.” And Turnbull is confident that the information in the book will remain timely, even after the CSA finishes rolling out its reforms in 2016. “Because I’m saying that, if you want better investment results, be a better consumer of investment products and services, and these reforms are intended to be consumer-friendly, there’s a common theme there,” he said. With the signing in St. Albert just weeks away, Turnbull is very excited to meet readers and hear what they have to say. “It’s a great opportunity to meet a wide range of people. Inevitably people come by just to have a talk, and you get that grassroots information from people about what people are doing,” he said.

While Alberta’s welfare rolls sit last in Canada, Ontario’s have become the country’s second-highest, say University of Calgary researchers. The number of welfare recipients in the country have declined since the mid 1990s but they’ve remained higher in Ontario, at 7.6 per cent of its population in 2012. In Alberta, 3.2 per cent of those aged 0-64 received social assistance that year, another sign that the economic axis of the country has moved away from Ontario, said Ron Kneebone of the U of C’s School of Public Policy. “The worst year for Alberta was in 1993 and that’s where Ontario is now,” said Kneebone. “It’s a sea-change in the pattern of strength in this country. It’s moving

west.” Even the Maritime provinces, stereotyped as dependent on the dole, have lower recipient levels than Ontario, states the report titled The Rise and Fall of Social Assistance Use in Canada, 1969-2012. Only Newfoundland, which sits at an 8.9 per cent welfare rate, was higher than Ontario, but that level has fallen dramatically with the increase in East Coast oilpatch jobs, said the economist. Quebec, with a similar economy and demographics to Ontario, has shed more of its welfare roll that Ontario. Kneebone said a major factor in the falling welfare rates — which in Alberta was just above eight per cent in 1993 — was Ottawa’s halting payments to the provinces for

social assistance programs. “A lot of analysts thought it caused the provinces to be more stringent as a cost-saving measure,” he said. Another was determined by qualifications to receive payments, said Kneebone, which vary somewhat across the country. That seems to be a greater determinant than the generosity of the benefits, he added.

“Ontario’s not very different in that regard — far more important are the regulations getting in and out of assistance,” said Kneebone. And his study didn’t determine how many poor people in Alberta or other provinces have fallen through the cracks, beyond the statistics. “We’re not defining the number of people who might be in need — it doesn’t mean we’ve solved poverty.”

Infatuation and chocolate both produce a dopamine high. A gooey fudge brownie might not be an exact substitute for a hot date, but hey, the sugar rush will get you through the night! Along the same lines but possibly more dangerous, some investors get a charge out of betting on one stock. They obsess and believe it is the one. As a portfolio manager, I can recall three examples of this behaviour. I once met with the CEO of an advertising company who had $1 million invested, but all in one stock: an international firm in his industry. He felt that he was diversified because his business dealings were local and this company was multinational. The problem is the market doesn’t always act so logically and if advertising revenues are down in general, all stocks in the same sector are likely to be vulnerable. It isn’t uncommon for experts to feel they have a better understanding of their industry than the general public. While that is undoubtedly the case, this knowledge doesn’t always predict or protect them from stock price movements.

Then there was the time I met with the CFO of a software company whose entire investment portfolio consisted of $10 million worth of stock options in his own firm. His wife was concerned that all of their wealth was “on paper� and she would have liked to have at least $1 million in “real money.� But the CFO was worried about the

perception within the firm if he were to exercise options and start selling stock. So he continued to be tied to the stock price of one company for not only his paycheque and his career, but also his family’s financial future. Next, a glaring example of how emotions can interfere with logic. An older gentleman had invested wisely his entire

life, but he started to become disenchanted with the goings-on in the world last year. On a whim, he cashed in his entire retirement account and used the proceeds to buy a single gold stock. He felt somehow that this was the ultimate way to protect his wealth and put his affairs in order. Unfortunately, not only did gold have a bad year as an asset class, but his particular stock was the worst of the lot. No matter how compelling the idea, it’s almost always a bad idea to fall in love with one stock! As one final cautionary tale, a young woman I interviewed in Paris recently told me: “After school I got a great job at Lehman Brothers and moved to London. I was proud to work for such an established investment firm. I became very involved in my career. “Then I watched the price of Lehman Brothers go from $80 to zero during the two years that I worked there. I was so shocked. I stared at the stock price every single day until the day they declared bankruptcy. That day I lost my job and my investments.� Don’t get me wrong — I have a lot of time for romantic fools. And chocolate for that matter! But as a wise woman in Tel Aviv told me last year: “I buy into dreams in many respects — but not with my money.�
