COVER

Ingrid and Brian Carli stand in front of a couple of the bigger Halloween decorations that are part of their elaborate display at 64 Embassy Place. Blink and you’ll miss it, though — most of the decorations go up the morning of Oct. 31 and come down that very evening. See story, page 3.

BY THE NUMBERS

$381 million

That’s how much money Canadians spent on candy, confectionery and snack foods in October 2013, according to Statistics Canada, making it the second-biggest spending month in that sector to December ($451 million). Analysts expect spending to be even higher this year thanks to Halloween falling on a Friday and a recent drop in gas prices.

Hectic Halloween for a good cause

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Halloween is one hectic day for Brian and Ingrid Carli. For the 11th straight year, the Carlis will be up before dawn on Oct. 31, transforming their front yard at 64 Embassy Place into a house of horrors for local kids — and kids at heart — as well as scaring up donations for the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village. They’ll be up at 5 a.m. to start putting up decorations — some of the bigger ones are in place beforehand — and then have them all down by 10 p.m., after the trail of trick-or-treaters has trickled to a halt. But, as exhausting as the day is, the Carlis wouldn’t have it any other way. “Over the years, we’ve had little kids, six to 10 years old, who drop off thank-you cards,” Brian said. “As exhausted as we are the day after and as much as we say, ‘That’s it, this is the last year,’ those are the types of things that spur us on.” An average of about 2,000 people come by the house each Halloween, although that number fluctuates depending on the weather. They usually collect about $300 to $500 and 500 to 600 pounds of food for the Food Bank each year. The obsession with Halloween started 18 years ago, before the family moved to St. Albert. Brian saw a Halloween display in Winnipeg that he really liked, and decided to do something himself. “That just set me off. (I said,) ‘I want to do this. I want to be the guy with the scariest house in the neighbourhood,’” he said.

Ingrid and Brian Carli stand next to one of their two hearses in the driveway of their home at 64 Embassy Place. Every year, they decorate their home to the nines and collect donations for the St. Albert Food Bank. Of course, their neighbours on Embassy Place are gracious and understanding, even if it means they have to shell out candy for a larger-than-average number of trick-or-treaters. “They’re very, very good,” Ingrid said. “I mean, how often do you see someone waving at someone in a hearse? It’s like, ‘Oh, there’s Ingrid and Brian.’ We’re very fortunate on our street. “We do have a few new neighbours who will see it for the first time (this year). But the majority of people have been here

since the beginning too.” The Carlis try to add something new to the display each year, with different themes in different areas, but they admit they’re starting to run out of room, both in their yard and in the various storage areas they use the rest of the year. “We have a sea can, a trailer, a storage unit and the entire back of the garage that’s all Halloween,” said Ingrid, whose license plate on her two-toned Cadillac Escalade reads “MS HLWN”. The other 364 days of the year, Brian and Ingrid are active

members of the Edmonton Bone Wagon Association, a collection of classic hearse owners in the region. Together, they dress up and take their cars to show-and-shines all over northern Alberta, including Rock’n August here in St. Albert. “It’s very informal. If you have a hearse, or you like Halloween, or you like to dress up, you’re a member of our club,” Brian said. “When we host an event, it’s kind of an open forum. If you want to show up, come on by. Bring your car, get dressed up, just come and visit — it doesn’t matter.”

COUNCIL NOTES

Photo: Metro Creative Services

All of St. Albert city council’s expenses — not just the mayor’s — will be under the microscope after council’s regular meeting on Monday. First, councillors defeated a motion that would require city manager Patrick Draper to hire an independent auditor to review Mayor Nolan Crouse’s expense records with the city and the Capital Region Board. With only Coun. Sheena Hughes, who brought forward the motion, Coun. Cam MacKay — who was acting as deputy mayor after Crouse recused himself from the debate — and Coun. Tim Osborne supporting the motion, it was defeated on a tie vote as the rest of city council cited the high cost of the audit and the ability of City staff to perform the audit as main reasons for voting against it. “We’re going to spend tens of thousands of dollars to recover far less than $10,000,� said Coun. Cathy Heron. Heron then brought forward a motion that would see the six current city councillors’ expenses from the past 12 months scrutinized by an audit in addition to the mayor’s expenses from the past 36 months. That motion passed unanimously. The audit will be followed by a consultation with the RCMP to see if an investigation is needed and appropriate amendments to the expense reporting procedures by City of St. Albert staff.

“None of us are above fault,� said Heron during the motion’s debate. “Let’s put this to bed, move on, and remove any doubt.� Heron’s motion was brought forward after Mayor Crouse, in addition to a personal audit of his own expenses, reviewed the expense claims from the rest of council and found more than $2,000 worth of discrepancies. “I will not make public any of this information,� said Mayor Crouse before discussions began. “I leave each of you to do what you will with the sealed envelopes I have provided to each of you.� Additional motions to have Draper retain independent auditors for Heron’s motion were defeated by majority. Councillors Hughes, MacKay and Wes Brodhead believed that having City staff Cathy Heron perform the audits City councillor would look less than favourable on council. “There’s still going to be doubts,� said Hughes during debate. “Getting the trust of the public is what’s priceless.� Despite the objections from Hughes, MacKay and Brodhead, Coun. Gilles Prefontaine spoke up the loudest for City staff’s ability to perform a thorough audit, their nature as working independent from city council, and for the opportunities arising from this controversy. “City staff’s boss is the city manager, not the council,� Prefontaine said. “There’s an opportunity to learn from this and establish better procedures to ensure that this never happens again.�

“None of us are above fault. Let’s put this to bed, move on, and remove any doubt.�

With amendments to the Snow and Ice Control Policy being approved, services to St. Albert will see an increase in snow removal services including Priority 2 Roadways and Arterials being cleared 8 hours after snowfall and Priority 3 Roadways being cleared within 16 hours of snowfall. “I do recognize that we hear about this from residents often. They can move in our community, their cars don’t get stuck in windrows, and we offer another level of this service to our community... This is something we’re proud of and is a differentiator and is why so many people come to this community.�

2015 budget formally presented to council

St. Albert Leader

St. Albert city council is getting ready to once again set the financial course for the city for the upcoming year. City manager Patrick Draper formally presented the 2015 civic budget to councillors at Monday afternoon’s regular meeting, which was highlighted by a property tax increase of 3.3 per cent — lower than the 3.42 per cent increase projected at a standing committee on finance meeting in September. “The city’s assets are well taken care of and in a good state of repair. The city is financially sound,â€? Draper said. The budget totals just over $136 million, with $90.6 million of that revenue coming from property taxes and assessment growth. The rest of the revenue will come mainly from sales and user fees, along with about $3.2 million in government transfers. Meanwhile, the bulk of the City of St. Albert’s expenses — $60.6 million — will go toward salaries, wages and benefits for employees. In fact, some of the biggest spending increases over 2014 will be for wage increases, including $1.3 million for cost of living allowance increases. Other cost increases over 2014 include $526,000 for rising electricity and natural

gas bills, and $290,000 more for gasoline, oil and antifreeze. The budget also sets aside $36.1 million for municipal repairs, maintenance and replacement, and projects $2.7 million in new taxable assessment from growth. City staff are proposing using $1.7 million of that to fund 28 new business cases to deal with growth pressures, while $669,000 of it will go toward reducing tax increased and $287,000 will go into reserves. Base utility rates will increase 1.4 per cent this year. “This is the first step of a process we go through in terms of being proper stewards of how we spend and how we build our community,� said Coun. Gilles Prefontaine. “I look forward to the avid discussion over the next few weeks and the exploratory piece we do with staff in terms of building the best budget for our community.� A community roundtable discussion on the budget will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the lunchroom at Sir George Simpson Junior High School (50 Grosvenor Blvd.). A live webcast question-and-answer session will be hosted at budget.stalbert.ca the following evening. Budget deliberations begin in earnest on Thursday, Nov. 13. City staff hope to have the process wrapped up by Dec. 15.

Street sense

“The city’s assets are well taken care of and in a good state of repair. The city is ďŹ nancially sound.â€?

The family of former St. Albert mayor Neil M. Ross gathered with ofďŹ cials from the City of St. Albert on Monday, Oct. 20, for a naming ceremony to christen Neil Ross Road, a new arterial road that will be built in the coming years east of St. Albert Trail, adjacent to the Erin Ridge North subdivision. It will link up with another new arterial road named for former mayor and MLA Richard Fowler. Ross was mayor of St. Albert from 1947 to 1951, and also has a school named after him in the Woodlands subdivision.

OPINION

WHERE IS THIS?

Wildrose wilts in byelections

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

T

o paraphrase what a wise man once wrote in another, now-defunct newspaper in St. Albert, the Progressive Conservative party could drop an atomic bomb on Alberta, and the cockroaches would climb out of the rubble and continue to vote PC. And nowhere has that ever been more by Glenn Cook evident than in the by-elections held in four ridings in Calgary and Edmonton on Monday. The opposition parties smelled blood in the water over the past four weeks, especially in the riding of Calgary-Elbow, which used to be the domain of former premier Alison Redford, who is still wiping off the mud flung at her over her misuse of government aircraft and the so-called Sky Palace in Edmonton. Surely one of them would be primed to make a breakthrough there? Well, it turns out they couldn’t, as Education Minister Gordon Dirks won Calgary-Elbow for the Tories, as did Premier Jim Prentice in Calgary-Foothills, Health Minister Stephen Mandel in Edmonton-Whitemud and Mike Ellis in Calgary-West. The PCs looked as weak as they possibly ever had in their 43 years in power, and yet no other party could muster enough support to dethrone them in any of these four contests. Perhaps the biggest loser out of Monday night, though, is the Wildrose party. Not only could the official opposition — though they still only have 17 seats in the Alberta legislature compared to the PCs’ 61 — not win any of the four contested seats, they wound up finishing third in two of the ridings. In EdmontonWhitemud, the NDP candidate took second place, some 500 votes ahead of the Wildrose; in Calgary-Elbow, Alberta Party leader Greg Clark took second place, about 350 votes ahead of the Wildrose candidate. So, while the PCs are riding high, the Wildrose is left to gaze at its navel and wonder once again where it all went wrong. Every time they seem to have momentum, every time they seem to have the Tories on the ropes, the Tories bounce back and knock them to the canvas. Time will tell if the Wildrose can gather themselves and answer the bell for another round the next time the writ is dropped.

Mayor opens books on his own expenses

T

o help understand the situation we are in, I serve in two roles and for two separate corporations: as chair of the Capital Region Board, which is made up of 24 municipalities; and as Mayor of St. Albert. The CRB has had three chairs — two provincially appointed public members and one elected, myself. It is often a challenge to determine which hat I wear in given situations. Now personally, for about 30 years, my wife and I have had a professional accountant do our personal income tax filing; we rely significantly on professional advice. Also, I don’t own an ATM card or a debit card and my personal expense procedures have been scribbled “notes to self” as I remember to do so. I rely on my calendar to recall what I

We demonstrate our support by giving, and demonstrate the importance of family values by attending together. Our income tax returns show that, while mayor, my wife and I have donated

I never planned to share all this, but as a public official, I feel compelled to be open such that the community may judge me based on more balanced views and not biased reports. For my part in causing uncertainty, I apologize, but, for the part my wife and I play in serving the community, we are proud to do so. I am also proud to serve as the Capital Region Board chair as I have for the past two and a half years. That board has a chair review in 2015 but I am pleased to continue to support the board in regional endeavours. Of course, my recordkeeping of mileage

and expenses has been inadequate, and upon review of the policies, procedures, spreadsheets and hundreds of line items submitted by all seven members of St. Albert city council, it is clear there are several procedures needing review. To say something is broken is an overstatement. Some things need improvement and those improvements will occur. In my review of my mayoral expenses over the past three years, there were 998 data entries, $129,000 in expenses and 7,000 calendar entries. As a result, I believe I am owed $1,763, but with 20122013 books closed, the amount owing to me is $1,698. My errors are my errors, but there is no wrongdoing. Accusations to that effect are simply wrong and unfair. Owned and operated by

BAM! prepared to pulverize some pumpkins

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Pumpkins are about to be pulverized once again on Saturday. For the second straight year, the BAM! (Building Assets and Memories) youth group is putting on their Smash ’n’ Bash event this Saturday at Seven Hills, where Halloween jack-o’-lanterns will meet their makers via slingshot, catapult or another method of destruction. “(The pumpkins) can’t be too hard. When it’s cold and you get it up in the air, it’d come down and just about put a hole in the ground,” recalled 17-year-old St. Albert Catholic High School student Jordon Kroeker of last year’s freezing cold temperatures. In addition to the flying gourds, there will also be pumpkin piñatas, target shooting and a pie-eating contest. All the pumpkins that get flung down the hill will be collected and composted once the event wraps up. BAM! will also be accepting donations of cash and non-perishable food items for the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village. “There are a lot of people that aren’t as fortunate as the rest of us, so donating around (the holidays) is what we’re trying to do, to make sure they have something to eat

Here’s pie in your eye! Jordon Kroeker of the BAM! youth group plays around with a miniature version of the Halloween pumpkins that will get smashed and bashed Saturday at Seven Hills. for (a holiday) dinner,” Kroeker said. “FCSS works closely with the Food Bank and Community Village. We have a great partnership with them, and we love to help them out whenever we can,” added

Shannon Wilson, a youth asset worker with the City of St. Albert’s family and community support services department. Last year, with chilly weather and it being the first year for the event, the turnout

wasn’t as big as some had hoped, but there was still plenty of fun to be had, and organizers are certain the same will be true this year. “There were at least a lot of pumpkins that came, which was nice, and there were lots of participants who could play around and do whatever,” Wilson said. “It was a lot of fun.” Organizers have also been working hard to get the word out about the event on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Many of those pumpkins will come from Save On Foods, which is donating any pumpkins they haven’t sold as of Saturday morning. The Smash ’n’ Bash is just one of many events BAM! puts on each year in an attempt to have youth reach out to the community. “We try to get as many people out as possible to keep them out of trouble; that’s why BAM! was started,” Kroeker said. “And having it so that we’re helping out others in the community just makes it that much better.” The group’s membership is strong, Wilson added, with about 50 kids showing up each Sunday for weekly meetings. The BAM! Smash ’n’ Bash takes place at Seven Hills between noon and 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Gamers power up for Stollery

TREVOR ROBB Special to the Leader

Being awake for 34 straight hours makes you a tad loopy, admits #YEG Extra Life team captain Matthew Dykstra. He and over 150 other passionate video gamers packed a hall at the Northlands Expo Saturday night for the 24-hour video game marathon, Extra Life, in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital. As of Sunday afternoon, the Edmonton group exceeded their $50,000 goal, raising a total of $55,138. However, other Extra Life groups in northern Alberta also pledged to raise funds for Stollery. Together, they helped raise over $125,000 for the children’s hospital. “It’s been a huge success,” said Dykstra, the Edmonton Sun’s legislature bureau reporter. “We raised more money than last year, we’ve doubled our participants and it’s all for a good cause — it’s for the kids. It feels great to have contributed.” The key to lasting the whole duration of the event, explains Dykstra, is preparation. Every gamer seemingly had their own tricks of the trade and strategy to ensure they didn’t miss a minute of gaming. “It never hurts to have a pillow. Of course you’re going to want food and snacks — it shouldn’t solely be energy but

The event raises money for the Stollery Children’s Hospital. you know there are bound to be one or two in there when you’re pushing through the 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. mark,” said Dykstra. “There were quite a few people who pushed all the way through, and while some people left earlier, there were quite a few people who stuck around until 2 p.m. and were gaming right up until we told them we had to cut the power and the Internet. That’s when you know people are

really having fun and enjoying themselves.” But at the end of the day, the event wouldn’t be a success if not for the hall space donated by Northlands and the vast number of power cables and Internet cords — provided by Showtech — needed to run all the monitors and gaming machines required. “It’s unbelievable how much power goes to all those monitors, PCs and gaming consoles,” said

Dykstra. Across North America, Extra Life charity events have so far raised over $5.1 million in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. That number is expected to rise as the charity will be accepting donations until Dec. 31. For more information,or to donate to the Edmonton group visit, www.extra-life.org/team/ yegextraLife

Schools in ‘hold and secure’ during firearms call GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

Photo: GLENN COOK, St. Albert Leader

An RCMP truck sits outside a house on Mount Royal Drive on Thursday, Oct. 23. Four nearby schools were placed in ‘hold and secure’ positions as police dealt with a possible firearms call in the house.

Some students in St. Albert got a bit of a scare last week. École Father Jan on Mission Avenue was placed in a “hold and secure” position on Thursday, Oct. 23, as St. Albert RCMP dealt with a potentially dangerous situation just around the corner on Mount Royal Drive. At about 1 p.m., police were dispatched to 32 Mount Royal Dr. when they received an urgent call about an emotionally disturbed 25-year-old man who was inside the house. They acted quickly because it was believed there was a firearm in the house, possibly in the man’s possession. RCMP blocked off Mount Royal Drive at Mission Avenue and at St. Vital Avenue to keep people away from the area. Officers were able to resolve the situation peacefully, and one man and one woman were taken

into custody. Two firearms were also located in the residence and seized by police. Students at Vincent J. Maloney Junior High School, École Alexandre-Taché and St. Albert Catholic High School were also placed in hold and secure positions as a precautionary measure, St. Albert RCMP community policing officer Const. M-J Burroughs confirmed. Burroughs said that, even though those schools are not as close as École Father Jan is to the scene of the incident, they let students out earlier, and since police didn’t know how long it would take resolve the matter, they didn’t want to have students trying to walk home through the area. The schools were given the all-clear at approximately 2 p.m., and Mount Royal Drive was re-opened to traffic a short time later. No charges have been laid yet. RCMP are continuing their investigation.

St. Albert has a new centenarian

IN 1914:

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

St. Albert got a new centenarian this month. On Saturday, Oct. 18, local resident Erma Hill turned 100 years old, celebrating with 130 friends and family members at a reception held at the St. Albert United Church hall on Green Grove Drive. “My grandmother has always kept busy helping anyone in need. She hasn’t had time to ‘age,’” said her grandson, Trevor Sterling, told the crowd at the church hall. “Her large circle of friends has been a wonderful and continuing support group for her, and for that, her family wishes to offer our thanks again to each and every one of you. ... We know she is happy and has joy every day. As Grandma says, ‘Bored people are boring,’ and Grandma has no time to be bored.” Erma was born on Oct. 18, 1914, near Czar, Alta., which is about 275 kilometres southeast of St. Albert and just 70 kilometres west of the AlbertaSaskatchewan. She was the eldest child of Willa Orpha and Eldon Charlton, both of whom came with their parents from the United States to homestead in Canada. Erma was brought up on the farm; she

Donna’s husband, Dr. Donald Duperon, served as master of ceremonies. Duperon is a professor emeritus of pediatric dentistry at the University of CaliforniaLos Angeles. Erma’s granddaughter, Lori Duperon Savit, has published a book of photos in honour of her grandmother, which is available to view online at www.ermahill. com. And next year, Erma hopes to publish her written memoirs, culled from her handwritten journals from over the past century.

There, they raised four children: Donna, Marilyn, Gary and Daphne. The couple relocated to St. Albert in 1964, and Erma still lives independently in the city today. Donna and Gary spoke at the reception honouring their mother, along with a number of her grandchildren, while

Partnership a model for all of Alta.

DOLLAR

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

A partnership between the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village and a local store has proven so successful, it’s being used as a model for other partnerships across the province. Earlier this year, staff at London Drugs in Inglewood Towne Centre began taking food and hygiene products, along with clothing and baby items, that were close to their best-before date and donating them to the Food Bank so they could be sent out to families in need who would use them right away. The arrangement has worked so well that it’s now spreading to 10 other London Drugs locations throughout Alberta, which have partnered with nearby food banks to donate more than 40,000 pounds of food. “It’s been going really good,” said Brenda Marsh, manager of the London Drugs location in St. Albert. Meanwhile, St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village executive director Suzan Krecsy is equally thrilled with the partnership. “It’s absolutely wonderful. I think our clients are really benefitting from it because the quality of the donations is just second-to-none,” she said. “Knowing that, on Wednesdays, we get a pickup from London Drugs is awesome,” she added. So far, the St. Albert store has donated 4,688 pounds of food to the local food bank. The store delivers the food to the Food Bank — located right across Bellerose Drive — every Wednesday. Perishables like milk might get delivered in between the regular days. “It’s prior to expiry date and gives plenty of time for them to be able to help people who are in need,” Marsh said. “It gets there within the week. ... If it falls into that category, it still gives (the food bank)

Events bring significant economic activity: City report

GLENN COOK St. Albert Leader

A new report suggests that major events are bringing a significant amount of economic activity to St. Albert. Last week, the City of St. Albert released the results of a Sport Tourism Economic Assessment Model study that was conducted through the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA). That study found that 10 major events in the city in 2013 contributed more than $7 million to the local economy, as well as another $5.75 million around the rest of the region. “Sport tourism continues to be a significant driver of tourism spending in Canada, generating over $5 billion in spending annually.

Interview questions a chance to shine

ANNY CHIH

Sun Media News Services

In a job interview, interviewers ask a series of questions that typically begin with “What is your greatest…” or “Tell me about a time when you…” in order to indirectly ask the only question they’re truly interested in answering — are you the best person for the job? Once an interviewer has gone down their list of conventional queries, they’ll ask whether you have any questions of your own so that you can also go through a list of pre-prepared questions. This is your opportunity to be memorable. After inquiring about criteria for success in the role, company culture, problem-areas that you can help with, or any other topic that reinforces your interest in the company’s success, go ahead and ask the question you’re most concerned with — after reviewing my application and meeting with me in person, do you have any reservations about hiring me for this position? In the best-case scenario, the interviewer will tell you that there is no reason not to hire you and

will either make you an offer on the spot or let you know when to expect one. In the worst-case scenario, the interviewer will let you know what their concerns are with hiring you and you now have the opportunity to address them in person. This is a great chance to clarify anything you said during the interview that may have given the wrong impression, mention a qualification that may have been overlooked, or let the interviewer know how you plan on gaining any desired skills that you don’t already have. In the most-likely scenario, the interviewer will be caught off guard with such a direct question and will struggle with an answer. After some contemplation, they will either say there isn’t a reason not to hire you (essentially saying you got the job) or that they have concerns (which you can then address). At the very least, asking whether there are any reservations about your application demonstrates that you are open to feedback, lets you know where you stand in the hiring process, and allows you to improve for your next job interview (if you still need one).
