COVER

2014 was a busy year in St. Albert from new events like EEK! to the internationally known Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival. There was great debate about new school locations and we were named the Best City to Live. The St. Albert Leader takes a look back at some of these events starting on page 3.

JANUARY KIDSPORT LAUNCHES

On Saturday, the St. Albert chapter of KidSport will celebrate its official launch with a family fun swim at the Fountain Park Recreation Centre, marking the start of the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to help fund minor sports registrations for kids at a local level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s super exciting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming,â&#x20AC;? said St. Albert chapter chair Klayton Deputan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely excited to be able to fund kids in St. Albert. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we were striving to do, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do from here on in.â&#x20AC;? The local chapter has existed since 2012, but board members were waiting until they had enough funds to sustain the chapter for a few years before they started offering funding locally. In that time, St. Albert families needing help to pay for minor sports have been able to apply to KidSport Alberta.

FAMILY DAY RESCUE

St. Albert firefighters are used to rescuing people and pets. Now, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rescuing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Day festivities. TheÂ International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2130, which represents St. Albert Fire Services employees, has taken over the planning of festivities for the long weekend in February, and will present the Family Day Fire and Ice Festival on Monday, Feb. 17, at Lacombe Lake Park. IAFF Local 2130 president Warren Gresik said that the festival

Gresik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire department ties into the community and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fire and iceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aspect, and we thought this was kind of an opportunity to give back to the community as well.â&#x20AC;?

NO AMALGAMATION

The president of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce should butt out of regional politics, says St. Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor. The debate around amalgamation of Capital Region municipalities was sparked once again on Wednesday, Jan. 8, when

Edmonton Chamber of Commerce president James Cumming spoke to the Realtors Association of Edmonton conference at the Edmonton Expo Centre, saying that so many jurisdictions leads to soaring taxes and public service costs, and some municipalities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pulling their weight when it comes to regional infrastructure projects. But St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who also serves as chair of the Capital Region Board â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said that amalgamation is not on his or the CRBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar.

Alberta Finance Minister and Spruce Grove-St. Albert MLA Doug Horner was at W.D. Cuts Junior High School on Monday morning to announce a major modernization project for the school worth more than $10 million, the biggest point of which will be the addition of Career and Technology Studies (CTS) classrooms for subjects like industrial arts and home economics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a wonderful opportunity to re-energize this building,â&#x20AC;? said W.D. Cuts principal Mike Tod. Horner said these types of CTS courses will benefit students as they transition into high school and beyond.

Best place to live plus surplus for City 2014 IN REVIEW

FEBRUARY

RANSON RIDES

Almost six months and 30,000 kilometres later, Dave Ranson finally got to see some penguins. Ranson rolled out of Riverside Motorsports in St. Albert on Aug. 25 to embark on his Prairies to Penguins motorcycle ride to raise funds for spinal cord injury research. And, on Saturday, he reached his final destination — Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost point in South America and the gateway to Antarctica. Half a year and 30,000 kilometres will take its toll on any human, but that kind of trek also does a number on a motorcycle. Luckily, Ranson’s bike — a Suzuki DR650 nicknamed Skelly — held out, only needing minor mechanical repairs along the way.

HELLS ANGELS ARREST

A police raid at a home in St. Albert in January was connected to a major investigation that has resulted in the arrest of a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, along with nine other people. Police blocked off Eldorado Drive for

most of the morning on Thursday, Jan. 30, to search the home as part of an investigation being conducted by the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT). The search was part of four simultaneous raids conducted by ALERT’s Edmonton Combined Forces and Special Enforcement Unit, with the rest of the homes searched located in Edmonton. Between the four houses, police seized a Hells Angels vest containing illegal drugs, two rifles, a loaded handgun, four body armour vests, a functioning police scanner, 350 grams of cocaine, oxycodone pills, two false driver’s licenses, $23,000 in cash and one vehicle.

$1.25M SURPLUS FOR CITY

As the City of St. Albert wraps up the 2013 fiscal year, things are right on track, according to a report to city council on Monday. At their Standing Committee on Finance meeting on Monday afternoon, councillors heard from administration that the City should finish the year with a surplus of about $1.25 million — a variance of about one per cent on the approved 2013 budget of $126 million and on track with thirdquarter projections that pegged the surplus at about $1.1 million.

“To be within one per cent of a $100 million budget is always easier for council to deal with,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said. “And to be on the right side of that is also easier for council to deal with.”

ELDORADO PARK REZONING St. Albert city council paved the way this week for a new francophone junior/senior high school to be built on the northwest corner of Eldorado Park. Councillors gave third and final readings to a pair of bylaws Monday afternoon that redistrict seven of the 10 acres of land in the park so that the Alberta government can build the new 450-student school for the Conseil Scolaire du Centre-Nord anywhere on the site at the corner of Erin Ridge Drive and Eldorado Drive. “This has been an interesting journey, not only for council but for the community as well,” said Coun. Wes Brodhead.“There are a number of reasons why we want to do this, one of which is the introduction of a bus lane. And I truly believe that’s the best configuration of the school on the property.”

2014 IN REVIEW

MARCH

FRONT ROW AT OLYMPICS

It was one of the most dramatic, feel-good moments for Canada at the recent Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia — and Arri McWatt had a front row seat. McWatt, a physiotherapist with St. Albert Sports Therapy, was in Sochi from Feb. 10 to 23 to watch the Games and to cheer on his cousin Denny Morrison, a long-track speed skater who won a silver and a bronze medal during the games. Morrison’s silver medal came in the 1,000-metre event, which he was able to race in after teammate Gilmore Junio gave up his spot. “That was awesomely emotional for our family and for Gil’s family,” McWatt said.

AGLC STAYING PUT

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is staying put in St. Albert. After looking at sites throughout the Capital Region, the AGLC has decided to build a new $80-million, 500,000-squarefoot warehouse in St. Albert’s Campbell Business Park, just south of Apex Casino. “This is basically consolidating all the warehouse space they had around the Edmonton region into St. Albert, so it kind of puts us on the map from that perspective,” said Guy Boston, executive director of economic development for the City of St. Albert. “Notwithstanding that AD{CS5490005}

fact, it’s a significant amount of tax revenue that comes off a building that size.” Boston said that the City has been working with the AGLC on this project for three years now, and it was never exactly a slam dunk.

BEST PLACE TO LIVE

MoneySense magazine has finally confirmed what many St. Albertans already felt to be true: that St. Albert is the best place in Canada to live. The magazine released its annual rankings of the Best Places to Live in Canada on Wednesday, and for the first time, St. Albert took the No. 1 spot overall out of 201 municipalities, moving up from second in 2013 and knocking Calgary off the top and into the No. 2 position. “It’s a huge feather (in our cap),” added Coun. Cathy Heron. “This is No. 1 in Canada. And it’s a very hard data ranking; it’s not subjective. I mean, most of us who live here would say, ‘Yes, it’s the best.’ But this is hard data. There were always little things that were knocking us off these kinds of lists … but we seem to have overcome a lot of those, and No. 1 is great.”

MALL PLANS UNVEILED

After years of inactivity, the owners of Grandin Park Plaza are ready to move ahead with revamped plans to give the site a muchneeded facelift. Representatives of Vancouver-based property development company Amacon hosted an open house on Tuesday evening to share their new plans for the 4.2-hectare site, which retain the current office tower along with three new high-rise residential towers, each over 20 storeys tall, and thousands of square feet of retail space. Planning permissions for the development passed by city council in 2008 allow for towers up to 19 storeys high; plans at that time called for five such towers on the site. The three towers under the new plan will be 27, 24 and 23 storeys high respectively, but Reid said the new layout has many advantages.

RESIGNATION NOT SHOCKING

In the wake of Alison Redford’s resignation as Alberta’s premier, reaction among St. Albert officials is less about shock and more about sadness. Redford abruptly announced on Wednesday evening that she would be stepping down as premier effective Sunday, saying that she was “not prepared to allow party and caucus infighting to get in the way of building a better future for our province and for all Albertans.” St. Albert MLA Stephen Khan said the announcement was a big surprise, especially considering he had just been quoted in local media saying all was well inside the Progressive Conservative caucus.

New traffic patterns for St. Albert Trail 2014 IN REVIEW

APRIL

NO LEFT-HAND TURNS

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.

SPACE CAMP SAVED

A group of local parents are over the moon after reaching their fundraising goal

and saving their kids’ trip to space camp in Montreal. At a meeting Wednesday evening at Ronald Harvey Elementary School, the Save Our Space Camp campaign announced that, after a couple of weeks of frantic fundraising, they had met their goal of raising $133,000 to send their kids on a trip to Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City that was initially cancelled in late March after the Nova Scotia-based tour company they were dealing with abruptly went out of business. The campaign got a couple of huge boosts last week with a $50,000 donation from land developers Melcor and $15,000 from the SYTA Youth Foundation, based out of the United States. But it was put over the top over the weekend with barbecues, a bottle drive and a comedy night featuring 630 CHED’s Andrew Grose.

PRIVATE LAKE OKAY

When St. Albert city councillors were presented with plans for a new subdivision on Tuesday evening, they had concerns over a proposed private lake — but they seemed to be the only one who did. Melcor Developments brought forward the area structure plan for its new Jensen

The idea of an private lake didn’t sit well with some councillors, though.

“The idea of a neighbourhood with a gated freshwater lake (and) beach area I know is something that may not be the best for St. Albert’s image,” said Coun. Tim Osborne who, along with Mayor Nolan Course, expressed a lot of questions and concerns over the idea of private beaches.

OPINION

WHERE IS THIS?

Thoughts on the year that has passed

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

appy New Year! We’d like to thank you for joining us as a reader this past year and look forward to having you join us each week during the year ahead. Reflecting on the year that was for the city, there were highlights along with some things we hope to not revisit. Topping the list of the big saves in 2014 was the AGLC deciding to further their investment in St. Albert with their new half-million-square-foot facility in the South Campbell Business Park. We’re thankful they found a way to make it work—it’s a huge positive for our community that could’ve easily gone the other way for us. Along that theme, our local fire department saved the Lacombe Park Lake Family Day festivities when it seemed no one would pick up the torch. A big “well done” to them. St. Albert had some notable visits in 2014. CBC’s Dragon’s Den crew brought a big “butt lift” to the Perron District during their followup with Monjeloco Jeans. Nora and her team have done St. Albert proud, making our city, as some have said, the “butt capital” of Alberta! Big changes in provincial politics saw one of our MLAs, Stephen Khan, get back to centre stage but left long-standing representative, Doug Horner, outside looking in. With the price of oil falling at a furious pace, the year ahead will be a challenge on our economy and our province. Let’s hope that the new leadership (with very little opposition, mind you) is able to guide us through the turbulence. We’d hate to see the “We promise not to screw it up again”-type bumper stickers go to waste. As our great cartoonist Fred Curatolo shows, we were fortunate to be named the best city to live in all of Canada. A great honour indeed, but a big one to live up to going forward. With or without this reputation that was given by a select few, we know what a great city we live in, and we look forward to the year ahead.

It is our spirit that defines us

he gentle turning of the calendar year inspires meaningful reflection in many of us as we look back at the past year and forward to a fresh start for a year full of possibilities. Time definitely flies, according to the old adage. And, without getting too “cat’s in the cradle”, I’ve been truly blessed to observe my oldest son change into quite the young man in the past couple of years. It is his change that has inspired my reflection this season. We’re all faced with the need to change when addressing new opportunities in life; this doesn’t mean everything we are and have learned is left behind when we

It is this spirit that defines us. We carry this spirit forward from the past year, from past decades, to continue to build the St. Albert for our children and their children. Our city has not and will not be defined by the things that are built, but by the spirit of the community that comes together to build it. In the next 10 years, our city will undergo great change.

Local festivals bring fun and entertainment to all 2014 IN REVIEW

MAY

COMMUNITY GARDENS BLOOM

There are plenty of options available to St. Albertans looking for a little bit of the farm life right here in the city. St. Albert is home to at least four community gardens, where gardening enthusiasts who don’t have enough space on their own property — or perhaps live in an apartment or condominium with no space at all to garden — can rent out space and plant their own crops. One of those gardens is situated on Meadowview Lane, in the shadow of St. Albert’s grain elevators. There, on his own property, John Grylls has opened up Blackspruce Lane Gardens, turning the backyard on his his own five-acre property into 22 plots measuring 30 feet by 20 feet each that gardeners can rent for $25 a season and have to supply their own water.

HOSPICE MAKING STRIDES

In the midst of National Palliative Care Week, a group looking to open more palliative care beds in the St. Albert area is making great strides toward their goal. After a few groups working under loose

organization, the St. Albert Sturgeon Hospice Association (SASHA) incorporated as a society on April 2, with the mission of opening a space for “enhanced compassionate end-of- life care for community members and their loved ones” in St. Albert and in Sturgeon County. The group has formed a steering committee and several subcommittees, and those involved say they’re feeling good about the direction they’re headed. “(Incorporating) legitimizes us and what we’re doing, and we can start approaching the general public so they can realize we’re out there,” said Chris Guest, one of the steering committee members.

ARROW STAR AT EEK!

A big-name television star is shooting straight for St. Albert. Organizers of the Eek! Comic and Pop Culture Festival announced on Wednesday that they have secured Stephen Amell, star of Arrow on the CW Network and CTV, as the headliner for the show, which takes place on May 31 and June 1 at Servus Credit Union Place. Amell, who plays main character Oliver Queen on the show, will be available for autographs and photos (with purchase) on Saturday, May 31, and will be interviewed on the festival’s main stage later that day.

CANYON UP EARLY

Between driving his kids to school and his upcoming gig in St. Albert, there’s a lot of proof that George Canyon is a morning person. The Canadian country music star will be in St. Albert bright and early on Sunday, May 25, to play at the second annual Sunday Morning Wake-Up, a pancake breakfast and inspirational concert being put on by local churches as part of this year’s Rainmaker Rodeo and Exhibition. “I love being up before the sun, just love it,” Canyon said early one morning last week as he did interviews while dropping his kids off and taking his vehicle in for an oil change. “Everything’s just fresh and new. I’ve always been that way, ever since I was a kid.”

FESTIVAL CLEAR FOR TAKEOFF

The Northern Alberta International Children’s Festival has returned, and with it, a safe place for children and adults to act like kids. Kicking off its 33rd season, the festival marks its 20th year being hosted by the City of St. Albert. According to professional programming presenter Caitlin North, even though it is a kids’ festival, the performances aren’t plain.

Leader file photo

Kids were pounding the pavement at Servus Credit Union Place at the second annual Road Rage Street Hockey Tournament, with more than 400 kids shooting for glory. “There has always been this misconception with theatre for young adults that it is this fluff work, and it isn’t,” North said. “I don’t think people give kids enough credit. They think that they won’t get it or that the subject matter is just a bit too involved, but I always find that even the youngest kids take something from some of these shows.”

Electrical ďŹ re sparked in Lacombe Park 2014 IN REVIEW

JUNE

LACOMBE PARK FIRE

Electricity is being blamed for starting a fire that gutted a duplex under construction in Lacombe Park Estates over the weekend. St. Albert Fire Services crews responded to the fire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which occurred just a few hundred feet away from Fire Station No. 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at around 5:40 p.m. Saturday. Chief Ray Richards said that firefighters were able to see the thick black smoke from the station and started to respond before 9-1-1 calls starting coming in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building was unoccupied. The exterior was complete, but the interior wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere close to being finished yet,â&#x20AC;? Richards said. As the house was under construction, the only thing connected was the power supply, and investigators have determined that the fire started on the exterior of the building at the electrical utility box.

RIVER LOT 8 DEVELOPMENT The City of St. Albert has another parcel of land in its back pocket for future industrial development. The City announced Monday morning that it has secured approximately 90 acres of land that is part of River Lot 8, along the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s western boundary between Giroux Road and McKenney Avenue, for a price tag of almost $3.2 million. The land is expected to be used to support economic development initiatives and help increase the non-residential tax base in St.Â Albert.

Dragons visit local entrepreneur 2014 IN REVIEW

JULY

DRAGONS VISIT MONJELOCO

Nora Furber has to stare down the Dragons once again, at least this time it will be in her own den. Furber is the owner of Monjeloco Jeans on Perron Street, and last year, she travelled to Toronto to pitch her business to a panel of the country’s leading venture capitalists on the CBC show Dragons’ Den.

Now, crews from the show are coming to St. Albert to film an update on Monjeloco, which will coincide with the store’s second anniversary party on Sunday, July 13, starting at noon. “We were the ones that got away, and they’re still interested in how we’re doing. We’ve had great success, and we’re ready to share it with them,” Furber said, adding she doesn’t know if any of the Dragons themselves will make an appearance at the party.

BLESS ENVIRO EDUCATION School may be out, but the learning isn’t

stopping thanks to the Big Lake Environmental Support Society. BLESS is once again putting on its summer education programs at the log cabin at the corner of St. Albert Trail and Sturgeon Road, with co-ordinator Meagan Dyck leading volunteers in teaching kids about plants, birds, insects and the rest of the Sturgeon River ecosystem. The programs started up last week, and so far, Dyck said things are going well. “The activities have gone really well today, and the kids are loving the crafts,” she said on Monday, the first full-fledged day of programming at the cabin.

TRIP SPARKS PASSION

Liam Kachkar and his friends went to Ecuador to lend a hand, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones who came back richer for the experience. Back in October, Kachkar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 15-year-old Paul Kane High School student â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was the lucky winner of a 10-day trip to Ecuador when he attended We Day celebrations in Calgary. He and three friends got back from the trip this past week, and Kachkar said he was struck by the positive attitudes the people had, even in the face of poverty and hardship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hands down, the people in the community were the happiest people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen in my entire life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have clean drinking water; sewage is running down the streets like something out of a medieval movie. Yet theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always smiling and willing to help you and share what little they have with you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a humbling experience.â&#x20AC;?

NEW STOP FOR VISITOR INFO

Visitors to St.Â Albert have a new one-stop shop for information on the city and its many events. After a couple of months of preparing and planning, the St.Â Albert and District Chamber of Commerce has its new visitor information

centre up and running, based out of its building at the south entrance to the city along St.Â Albert Trail. There, visitors can find a wide array of brochures, maps and travel guides on St.Â Albert and surrounding areas, as well as local newspapers, knowledgable staff, a picnic area and a computer station with free wi-fi access.

MORE PEOPLE IN CITY: CENSUS

More and more people are finding a place to live in St.Â Albert, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also making the city a place to work, too. The City of St.Â Albert released the detailed results of its 2014 civic census last week, showing that the total population of the city has increased to 63,255, up 3.71 per cent over 2012. But a number that City officials â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially those in the economic development department â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may be more excited about is the percentage of people who both live and work in St.Â Albert, which increased from 27.6 per cent in 2010 to 36.4 per cent in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very encouraging,â&#x20AC;? said City economic development executive director Guy Boston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the (goals) that we have in economic development is to increase the employment opportunities in St.Â Albert, so any positive movement, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take credit for that. We want to see that grow and grow and grow; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a metric weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching.â&#x20AC;?

City launches new website 2014 IN REVIEW

AUGUST

NEW WEBSITE FOR CITY

With better organization and improved technology, the City of St. Albert is hoping its new website will help both current and potential new residents find the information they need and interact with the local government. The new stalbert.ca was officially launched on July 31, the culmination of a process that lasted nearly two years. It includes a number of te technical echnical changes chan angges on back o n the b ackk ac eend nd to improve th the he experience nearly for the near fo rly 700,000

visitors it gets every year, as well as changes to the site’s organization and accommodations for mobile devices, which more and more people are using to access the site. “St. Albert is a leading community, in every sense of the word,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release. “The new website better reflects who we are as a community and all we have to offer residents, businesses and guests to our city.”

ROTH VYING FOR CROWN

Christina Roth may be new to the world of beauty pageants, but she’s ready to show what she’s got over the next week in Toronto. The 20-year-old St. Albert woman left Wednesday Wedn We d esday for Toronto to compete in the Miss Can Canada nad adaa Globe Glob Gl obee pageant, where she hopes hope ho pess to b bring home th thee cr ccrown. own. A tthe As he p pageant agea ag e nt gets gget e s closer closeer and closer, Roth is d doing o ngg h oi herr b bes best estt to quell the butterflies b bu utterflies ttt b building uild ui l ing up in h her er ssto stomach. t maach c . “I’m “I I’m m very ver ey

excited,” said the St. Albert Catholic High School graduate. “I’m pretty nervous, but I’m looking forward to meeting everybody and seeing what the pageant life is like.”

RAINS ON ROCK’N AUGUST RECORD

For the most part, the sun shone brightly on this year’s Rock’n August classic car festival, but a little rain on Friday evening dampened organizers’ chances of setting a new record this year. Rock’n August organizing committee chair Mike Howes said that the total number of cars registered for this year was about 680, which is down about 90 from last year, and he chalks up that decline to rainy weather on Friday evening that kept people away from the cruise that wound its way from Apex Casino to St. Albert Place for a street dance. “Everything except for Friday was up in attendance, cars, everything,” Howes said. “Friday night … I think there were still 3,000 or 4,000 that we could tag being down

Thursday, Jan. 1, 2015

there, and we had about 300 cars. But we had 600 in that parade last year. There’s no question that’s what cost us our record.”

ANIMAL BYLAW STARTS SEPT. 1

The City of St. Albert’s new animal bylaw is still about two weeks away from coming into effect, but officials are hard at work making sure pet owners know what changes are coming Although it was given third reading in April 2013, the new animal bylaw comes into effect on Sept. 1. In the leadup to the change, though, City staff have been going door-to-door to talk to pet owners, as well as hosting an open house on Wednesday evening in Progress Hall at St. Albert Place. Over that time, City manager of policing Aaron Giesbrecht said one of the issues staff have heard the most about is the changing of St. Albert from being an off-leash city to dogs being leashed except in designated off-leash areas, of which there are roughly 20 throughout the city.

Khan gets second chance at cabinet 2014 IN REVIEW

SEPTEMBER POLICE DOG GETS HIS DUE

St. Albert’s newest dog-friendly park will bear the name of one of the most doggedly determined searchers in the local RCMP detachment’s history. City of St. Albert officials announced Friday morning that the new park being built just north of Servus Credit Union Place will be named Dodger Dog Park, in honour of former St. Albert RCMP search dog Dodger. “As we look back over the past 10 years, Dodger was a symbol of support to the schools. Dodger was a symbol of support for addressing crime. Dodger was a symbol that we wanted to ensure animals in the community were acknowledged as residents of our community,” said Mayor Nolan Crouse. “Dodger was a symbol of policing in our community. Dodger

was a symbol of breaking down barriers, a bridge between the community and police, between youth and the police.”

NEW BUS APP ROLLS OUT

School bus running late? There’s an app for that. Last week, just in time for the start of the new school year, St. Albert Public Schools rolled out its new free bus status app for iPhones, which notifies parents and students if their buses are running late in the morning or at the end of the day. “We’re just trying to notify parents in as many ways as possible, so that there’s no lack of communication,” said Kris Salerno, manager of transportation services with St. Albert Public Schools. “It’s better to be communicating more rather than less.”

NEW SIGNS POINT THE WAY

Officials with the City of St. Albert are hoping more business and tourism will find its way to the city thanks to a number of new

directional signs. The first of the new wayfinding signs was installed along southbound St. Albert Trail on Tuesday morning, near McKenney Avenue. The signs feature a blue-and-green colour scheme along with the City’s leaf logo, and point people in the direction of major attractions, like the Enjoy Centre and Lacombe Park Lake, and the tourist information centre at the south end of the city. A total of 75 signs will be installed throughout the city by the end of October. The total cost of the project is about $500,000.

KHAN BACK IN CABINET

After being dumped from former premier Alison Redford’s cabinet last year, Stephen Khan has found his way back in. The MLA for St. Albert was appointed Minister of Service Alberta on Monday as new Premier Jim Prentice and the rest of his cabinet team was sworn in.

“I’m tremendously excited. It’s an incredible opportunity,” Khan said. “I’m looking forward to representing St. Albert and being a voice for our community at the cabinet table.”

MAYORS TALK CO-OPERATION

The mayors of St. Albert and Sturgeon County took a big step toward a new era of co-operation 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 of about 120 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,” 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.”

Queen of hugs exhibit unveiled at U of A 2014 IN REVIEW

OCTOBER BUS PLOWS INTO YARDS

A St. Albert family’s supper was interrupted by a bus crashing into their back deck. St. Albert RCMP say the bus was headed northeast on Heritage Drive close to Haviland Crescent around 6 p.m. when the bus went off the road, crashing into a fence and shed, pushed a trampoline and broke a second fence before hitting a back deck of a second home and coming to a stop. The male bus driver was the only occupant at the time and was taken away by ambulance with non-serious injuries. He was helped by quick-thinking residents who lived nearby.

DIG IN FESTIVAL HEATS UP

Organizers of the Dig In horticulinary festival are bringing the heat this weekend. The first-ever festival will feature events and workshops at both the Enjoy Centre and Bellerose Composite High School — one of which is a hot pepper-eating contest on Saturday afternoon that will see contestants taking on the Trinidad Moruga scorpion pepper, the second-hottest in the entire world. Enjoy Centre co-owner Jim Hole has sampled a seed from one of the peppers, and said the contestants are in for quite the treat on Saturday. “It just goes and it hits your mouth and your nose,” Hole said, grimacing a little as he recalled the experience. “I touched my eye, and then my eye was burning. When we do this, we’re going to tell people, ‘Don’t mess around with it.’”

NO EXCUSES FOR EXPENSES

After being accused of double-dipping with some of his expense claims last week, St. Albert Mayor Nolan Crouse has gone over his finances with a fine-toothed comb and says he may actually be owed more than $1,700. The accusations were levelled against Crouse by Coun. Sheena Hughes at St. Albert city council’s regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 6. As councillors debated a motion that would require Crouse to disclose the income he brings in as chair of the Capital Region Board, Hughes detailed 12 duplicate claims over 19 months totalling less than $1,000. But now, in anticipation of a final vote on that motion to take place on Monday, Oct. 20, Crouse emailed to the Leader and to his fellow councillors on Tuesday evening a detailed rundown of 75 expenses he had made incurred on both City of St. Albert and CRB business since January 2012, with the

total difference coming out $1,762.98 in his favour.

NEW TRAFFIC MEASURES

After a contentious debate over a new school in the area, the City of St. Albert is ready to prove to residents of Erin Ridge that their concerns about traffic were heard. Starting on Monday, the City is rolling out the first stage of the new traffic safety initiatives in Erin Ridge after public consultation on the location of a new francophone junior/senior high school in Eldorado Park last year. These initial steps will include the installation of a three-way stop at Erin Ridge Road and Erin Ridge Drive, which the City hopes will improve sightlines for motorists, as well as safety for all pedestrians crossing there.

RIVER LOT 8 DEVELOPMENT The City of St. Albert has another parcel of land in its back pocket for future industrial development. The City announced Monday morning that it has secured approximately 90 acres of land that is part of River Lot 8, along the city’s western boundary between Giroux Road and McKenney Avenue, for a price tag of almost $3.2 million. The land is expected to be used to support economic development initiatives and help increase the non-residential tax base in St. Albert.

2014 IN REVIEW

NOVEMBER 98% SAY ST. ALBERT STILL A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

St. Albert is still a great place to live, according to the results of a new survey released this week. On Monday afternoon, St. Albert city council received the findings of this year’s Community Satisfaction Survey, in which 98 per cent of respondents said that the quality of life in the city is either good (25 per cent) or very good (73 per cent). “In a lot of ways, the survey represents the challenge we have as a council,” said Coun. Tim Osborne. “Not surprisingly, there’s an understandable level of concern regarding tax rates, and at the same time, there’s a strong sense that people value services, and in some cases are looking for more. That’s a constant struggle we face.”

SERVICE YOU CAN TRUST

Canada’s Smartest Person, Braden Lauer, grew up in St. Albert. Albertans still need help from a food bank isn’t exactly cause for celebration, the hard work done by volunteers over the past 30 years at the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village certainly is. The Food Bank is hosting a 30th anniversary celebration at their Bellerose Drive facility on Thursday, Nov. 27, from 1 to 5 p.m., and executive director Suzan Krecsy is inviting all volunteers past and present to toast how far they’ve come over the past three decades. “We’re really excited to be celebrating all the support from the community and the volunteers,” Krecsy said. “What I’m absolutely thrilled about is going back 30 years and the foresight and the compassion of the folks that identified this need and went ahead and did it,” she added

QUEEN OF HUGS REIGNS

The Queen of Hugs is reigning once again thanks to an exhibit at the University of Alberta. Until March 22, 2015, the U of A’s Department of Human Ecology is hosting an exhibit entitled Lois Hole: The Queen of Hugs, featuring some of the late lieutenantgovernor, U of A chancellor and St. Albertan’s clothes, jewelry and archival photos. Vlada Blinova is a lecturer in the Department of Human Ecology and cocurator of the exhibit along with fellow lecturer Lori Moran. She said that putting the exhibit together gave her a better understanding of who Hole was and how much she was loved.

LOCAL MAN CANADA’S SMARTEST

A man who grew up in St. Albert used his big brain to capture a coveted title over the weekend. Braden Lauer, 22, is a second-year law student at the University of British Columbia, but he spent much of his childhood in St. Albert, attending Keenooshayo Elementary School, Lorne Akins Junior High School and Paul Kane High School. He beat out seven other contestants to win Canada’s Smartest Person on CBC Television, which culminated with the finale on Sunday evening. It’s surreal,” Lauer said. “It was filmed a while back, in the summer, so I’ve been keeping it a secret from my friends for a long time. But it’s really great to finally see it unfold and celebrate the feeling again, this time with everyone out here in B.C. It was awesome.”

COOPER WINS TORY NOMINATION

Michael Cooper is one step closer to possibly becoming St. Albert’s next representative in the House of Commons. The 30-year-old lawyer and lifelong St. Albert resident won the Conservative Party of Canada nomination for the newly redrawn riding of St. Albert-Edmonton on Saturday, defeating challenger Ryan Hastman in a vote that saw more than 1,000 party members cast ballots. The St. Albert-Edmonton CPC Riding Association is not releasing the final vote tally, but Cooper did say the vote was “clear and decisive.”

Event fund supports events for 2015 2014 IN REVIEW

DECEMBER CHRISTMAS CAROL BUS

In 2005, Gary Willits had an idea for spreading a little more holiday cheer around his neighbourhood. He remembered one Christmas when he was young, getting onto a fully decorated bus and driving around singing Christmas carols. He brought up the idea to his wife, Holley, who agreed that it sounded like a lot of fun and got right to work booking a bus and gathering friends and family to join them, driving around to sing for neighbours. Nine years later, the Willits’ annual tradition is still going strong. Around 50 people show up each year to fill the bus and drive around northern St. Albert. But as the annual tradition has evolved, so has who the bus targets with that extra bit of holiday cheer. “We started getting requests to stop off at certain people’s houses—those having a bit of a tougher holiday,” says Willits. “All through word of mouth, we find out about people who are struggling, and we try to just brighten their day a bit.”

CITY GRANT HELPS EVENTS

The aim was to stimulate. Mission accomplished. City council recently approved

the funding of two ongoing festivals and one brand new music festival for St. Albert in 2015. Night of Artists, Eek! Comic and Pop Culture Fest, and Seven Music Festival will receive $23,397, $35,000 and $40,000, respectively. The Community Significant Event Stimulus Fund was created when the final $199,000 arrived to the City from the departed St. Albert Steel hockey club. Mayor Nolan Crouse suggested these funds be used to encourage new festivals and events in St. Albert. A committee was struck to establish guidelines for granting seed money to new events or add a new element to an existing event. Last year council approved funding to the first-ever Stimulus Fund recipient, Eek! Fest, which was successfully held at Servus Credit Union Place in May 2014.

3D COMES TO LIFE

Students in the Make It! class at Bellerose Composite High School (BCHS) are having fun while learning about 3D technology. The newly developed course taught by Matteo Hee has 15 students from grades 10 to 12 and was designed to encourage students to be creative and self-driven. Students have access to the latest technology, including a 3D printer they can use for school projects. “Some of these students are doing it for interest’s sake, and others are doing it because they’re interested in electronics or 3D design,”

said Hee. One driving force behind the new class was the Maker Bot 3D replicator that BCHS purchased for the architectural design program. Commonly referred to as “the printer,” it uses a spool of plastic filament to make small models of 3D objects that the students create on a computer. The class is held in the Digital Media and Design lab, where students pore over textbooks, search online and tinker with various items before bringing their project ideas to life. “The Make It! course was designed to enable students to create in different ways using the latest technology,” said Hee. “It gives them a good opportunity to see what they’ve designed and have it come through to be a real thing.”

CHRISTMAS DINNER - 4,000

You know you’ve made it when you go by one name, like Picasso, Pele or Prince, and everyone knows who you are. He may not be a famous artist or athlete, but in St. Albert the name D’Arcy is just about as recognizable. D’Arcy of D’Arcy’s Casual Catering will be celebrating 25 years of business in St. Albert in 2015. By starting his meat-cutting business at #10 Perron street way back when, D’Arcy seized an opportunity to go into business after leaving his day job at a retail grocer’s. Always keeping an eye on the market, providing well-priced, top-quality meats, and utilizing innovative marketing strategies, he

Today his very busy catering business serves thousands of meals a year at summer barbecues, special events and private parties. But Christmas time is a whole other matter. Last year he and a rotating staff worked almost 31 continuous 12-hour days, prepping for Christmas and catering holiday events. With company Christmas parties now beginning in November, the Christmas rush takes on a whole new meaning and schedule for the catering industry. This Christmas, D’Arcy’s will provide almost 4,000 turkey dinners to some 200 families on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
