The sun is shining on the young men and women graduating from the six local high schools — École Secondaire Sainte Marguerite d’Youville, Paul Kane High School, Outreach High School, École Alexandre-Taché, St. Albert Catholic High School and Bellerose Composite High School — as they celebrate and make their way out into the world. Join in the celebration with the St. Albert Leader’s Grad pullout feature in this week’s edition!

That’s the percentage of students in Alberta who complete high school in three years, according to Alberta Education stats from 2010. That number rises to 76.9% over four years and 79% over five years.

Despite the lack of a mid-morning recess break, one local school is touting its approach to learning as a success in both education and physical fitness.

For the past four years, Robert Rundle Elementary School on Grosvenor Boulevard has used what principal John Osgood calls the “Responsive Classroom Approach,” which focuses on the social and emotional growth of students.

“The data we have suggests it has been immeasurably successful in our school,” principal John Osgood said. “It’s well-supported by parents, it’s well-supported by staff, and well-supported by students. The activity is structured and well-managed; teachers work hard with the children.”

Along with that, though, came a rearranging of the schedule. After a short morning meeting — which also includes an opportunity for physical fitness — students’ mornings are split into four periods before a lunch break from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

Following a bit of quiet time after lunch, students have another four periods in the afternoon, then a “closing circle” before they are dismissed.

“Before Responsive Classroom, we had a 14-minute morning recess and a 50-minute lunch hour, which is 64 minutes. Now we have 60 (between lunch and physical education classes),” Osgood said. “But in winter, do you think they get out for 14 minutes? No, they have boots and coats (to put on). ... To suggest that we’re not doing our part in terms of the physical (fitness) component is absolutely wrong.”

Another byproduct of the changes is cutting down on the amount of unhealthy snacks kids were eating at recess.

“We don’t have snacks in the morning. They go out and play at (lunch) and then come in and eat,” Osgood said. “One of the major complaints we had before this was that kids were not eating their lunch, which was true. Now they’re eating their lunch. Then they go

forward into the afternoon.”While some parents have been critical of

the approach — one grumbled on Twitter last week that the school has “eliminated recess” while Osgood mentioned another complaint about a student’s ability to socialize with friends — the principal said most he has heard from are supportive of the new approach.

Teachers are on board with it, too. “We went curling, we go skating, we’ve

gone to gymnastics and done lots of different outside physical activity,” said physical education Holly Wilkes. “That cuts into their other classroom time, but when I ask (other teachers) if we can go even though, for the majority of the morning, (the students) will be out with me, they’re like, ‘Great! We’ll make it work.’”

Aside from the half-hour lunch break, there are also chances for extra activity through athletic clubs, which run for about 35 minutes before school three to four days a week, and physical education classes.

“Kids are not chained to the desks in the classroom. We have a music program ... and in it, there is a large movement component,” Osgood said, adding teachers can also take “brain breaks” and “body breaks” with kids throughout the day.

The athletic clubs are open to all students in Grades 3 to 6, and while it runs all year, it ramps up as events like the Journal Games draw closer.

“We try to take in as many as we can, and encourage all our kids to come out,” Wilkes said.

Teachers also ran intramurals and clubs for activities like skipping over lunch. Wilkes also organizes basketball and volleyball games between Grade 6 classes at Rundle and other local elementary schools.

“They can try things here in a risk-free kind of environment — or as risk-free as we can get it — so as they progress, they’ve been exposed to these things and can experience them,” Osgood said.

An organization that supports people with intellectual disabilities is taking a page from the “shop local” playbook to reward retailers who hire inclusively.

The Gateway Association for Community Living hosted its second-ever cash mob on Sunday afternoon at the Target store in St. Albert Centre, with mobbers — including disabled people, their families and community advocates — each committed to spending at least $20 in the store. All told, the group spent almost $6,000 over the two-hour window.

“We were really happy, and the store management was thrilled,” said Gateway Association executive director Cindy de Bruijn. “It was $6,000 of business they otherwise wouldn’t have had in those two short hours. They were happy, and we were happy to see the disability community and others mobilize.”

The association chose Target for their strong inclusive hiring policies, but also wanted to make sure the cash mob touched down in St. Albert as well.

“The City of St. Albert is trying to, as part of their hiring practices, build a more inclusive hiring policy, so we also wanted to support the community of St. Albert as well,” de Bruijn said.

The Gateway Association also helps organize the annual Mayor’s Luncheon, which celebrates inclusive employers in the community.

The idea of doing the cash mob was borrowed from similar shop local initiatives across the country, including the Cash Mob St. Albert, which has introduced shoppers to more than 30 St. Albert stores and injected almost $60,000 into the local economy over the past two years.

“It’s estimated that $26 billion is spent in this province every year by people who live first-hand with disabilities and their families,” de Bruijn said. “It’s a huge

industry, and we’re trying to help mobilize families to recognize they have this purchasing power.”

The association’s first cash mob was held at a Planet Organic store in south Edmonton on Feb. 23. There, mobbers spent more than $5,000.

“The most exciting thing was seeing other businesses come to Planet Organic and say, ‘Tell me more about this,’” de Bruijn said. “Other businesses seemed very interested. It’s not just about the purchasing power and how it’s good for their bottom

line; it’s also a great untapped workforce.”She added that they hope to organize one

more cash mob this fall, and then three more each year after that.

The association is also working on developing a new app for shoppers to find inclusive employers nearby, which should be available for download in September.

Officials with St. Albert Public Schools and the Conseil Scolaire du Centre-Nord are hopeful the Alberta government’s decision to scrap the P3 funding model for the latest round of new schools in the province won’t have too big of an effect on their new facilities, scheduled to open in 2016.

Last week, the provincial government announced that it would take responsibility for building the schools, saving at least $14

million in costs but possibly delaying the opening of the new facilities until 2016.

Henri Lemire, superintendent of Conseil Scolaire du Centre-Nord — the francophone school board that will oversee the new École Alexandre-Taché junior/senior high school in Erin Ridge — said that he and his staff have been in constant contact with architects, and they have confidence they can meet the 2016 goal.

“The more we talk, the more we think we can meet that date on one condition: that the board does it on its own,” Lemire said. “That

is, not being part of even a smaller bundle (of projects).”

Lemire added that the plans for the school are about 30 per cent done, and would need about another three to four months to complete. That puts them into September, and after tendering the project, shovels should be ready to go into the ground in April 2015. That leaves 17 months until the start of the 2016 school year, and Lemire said a similar-sized school in Airdrie was built recently from start to finish in just 10 months.

Meanwhile, St. Albert Public Schools superintendent Barry Wowk said the plans for Lois Hole Elementary School in Erin Ridge North are 85 per cent done, but he couldn’t say if the announcement would mean any delays.

“It’s too early for us to tell. We don’t have enough information,” he said. “They’ve as much as said some schools may be delayed, but no one knows what effect this is really going to have. ... They’ve asked us to make a choice whether we want to do this alone or

have the government carry through with it, and we’ve said we’d like the government to carry through with it.”

In the end, though, Wowk felt the government’s decision was the right one, even

if it means schools are delayed.

“The P3 model is a tricky model to implement. ... I’m hoping it was a substantial amount of money,” he said. “To put a bid in for (19) schools and maintain them for 25 years, it would have to make a lot of difference in money to say, ‘Let’s not go that route.’”

Lemire said he felt the writing was on the wall last October, when only one bid was received to

build and maintain the schools.“When the government realized there was

only one bidder, with the economy being so hot, they almost didn’t have a choice,” he said. “... P3 models work well when you have a less-than-average economy. But when you have an overheated economy like this and you start bringing in people from other provinces, your costs go up and it’s hard to manage.”

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.

“When engaging in a land

acquisition, we focus on acquiring land at a fair price, planning to support industrial development and future City services in our City,” city manager Patrick Draper said in a press release issued Monday.

The money for the purchase came from the Revolving Land Fund Reserve, meaning there will be no additional cost to taxpayers.

The land, though privately held before, was identified by the City as part of the preferred option for long-term industrial lands after being annexed from Sturgeon County in 2007.

The City will evaluate further land acquisition opportunities as they present themselves in the future.

very day I drive to work, I receive a very tangible reminder

of the legacy that Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools has within our region. I pass the statue of Father Albert Lacombe, a founder of the first settlement in St. Albert. He was an individual who, through his time spent here, worked toward everything that we would want from our own students. He would successfully bring peace and harmony between people of other backgrounds and nations. He cherished a life of service that promoted gospel values, and in particular, what we now understand to be the “golden rule” of life — loving one another as we would love ourselves. He worked with other groups like the Grey Nuns, who shared a common

purpose. Together they promoted personal well-being, the importance of a formal education, and community.

This September, that same drive to work will be as significant as one can imagine. It will reflect the 150th anniversary of all that Father Lacombe and the Grey Nuns would want from St. Albert. All members of our community will be able to give thanks that the dream of our founders is a lasting legacy. We will be celebrating that the mission of Greater St. Albert Schools — which is dedicated to enabling each

student to learn, live fully, and serve others — has led past and current generations of students into a future filled with hope and prosperity.

The theme will celebrate Faith in Our Students: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. Key events will launch in September 2014 at the Little White School House to commemorate the opening of the first school building on Mission Hill. Our schools will celebrate this theme throughout the year. Our community will be invited to participate in the culminating events planned to celebrate a faith dimension that has sustained such great community support for 150 years.

You can expect to see our 150th anniversary banners populating light posts

throughout the Oblate Mission Hill area on St. Vital and Madonna Avenues. May this reminder, like the important statue of Father Lacombe help everyone to remember one more reason why our city is a great one. The humble origins of a missionary settlement continues to vibrantly serve over 6,000 students within St. Albert, Morinville, Legal, and throughout the province. Our students’ lives are formed from children to adult, through a special mandate for learning. Through such learning, our students are bridging the values of the past with those that will continue to make for caring and fulfilling communities, today, and tomorrow. On the occasion of this historic milestone, that’s worth celebrating!

rent Rathgeber is making a lot of sense these days.

In the wake of the changes to the temporary foreign worker program announced by the federal government on Friday, the independent MP for Edmonton-St. Albert opined to the St. Albert Leader this week that perhaps the changes were little more than a political play, a chance for the Conservative government to pander to voters in southern Ontario — where federal elections tend to be lost and won — and Atlantic Canada and ensure they remain in power beyond next year. Meanwhile, they continue to punish the employers who follow the rules in Western Canada, where they can spare a few votes and still win just about every riding comfortably, and inhibit the growth of their businesses while the economies continue to pick up steam.

It’s a theory that makes a lot of sense. It’s almost inconceivable that Employment Minister Jason Kenney, given that he represents the riding of Calgary Southeast, is so oblivious to the trials and tribulations of employers in Alberta in trying to address their labour shortages. So it stands to reason that Kenney is taking his orders from on high, from strategists who are willing to take for granted the Conservatives’ popularity in Alberta and Saskatchewan in order to curry favour further east.

But another theory of Rathgeber’s that makes even more sense — though he is quick to give credit to his provincial Progressive Conservative counterpart Thomas Lukaszuk — and that is for Alberta to take more control over its own immigration policies, much like Quebec currently does.

The long-term solution to Alberta’s labour woes lies not in temporary workers but in permanent immigrants, as Rathgeber points out, and it is becoming quite clear that a one-size-fits-all immigration solution simply is not working. The Alberta government is closer to the ground here, and has its finger more firmly on the pulse of what the province needs. It would make a lot of sense for the province to take a more active role in the immigration process — both for business owners and for the workers looking to come here.

WHEREIS THIS?

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

St. Albertans searching for child care have a new place to look online.

On Thursday, June 12, the St. Albert Community Information and Volunteer Centre launched a new Facebook page, St. Albert Child Care Connect, which has already garnered more than 200 likes in just two weeks.

The page aims to connect local parents to much-needed child care services, including day homes and babysitters, through the social media site, as well as provide information on events for young families in the city.

“Through the number of requests our centre receives, and by what we were seeing written on local social media communities, it was clear there was a desire for a dedicated service like the Child Care Connect,” said St. Albert CIVC social media co-ordinator Ryan Mullan in a press release.

The page has gained many of its followers through promotion on the Community of St. Albert Facebook page,

which currently has more than 10,000 likes. Child care inquiries pop up often on that page, but administrators will begin referring all those requests to the Child Care Connect page starting next month.

Last year, the CIVC fielded 226 inquiries about child care. The centre’s babysitting registry currently serves 300 clients with 590 children.

“The opportunity here is to make a user-driven platform where those seeking child care, and those providing child care, can find one another,” Mullan added in the press release. “We also invite the numerous local businesses and agencies who may be stakeholders in child care or child services to be a part of this page. We want them to share their ideas, their articles, and things that they want the community to know that they do.

“Basically, the more the community puts in, the more the community gets out of it.”

Changes to the federal government’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program are nothing more than a political play that do nothing to address the labour shortage in Western Canada, according to St. Albert’s MP.

On Friday, Employment Minister Jason Kenney lifted the moratorium on the food services sector using the program and rolled out the changes, which include more rigorous screening to determine a business’s need for foreign workers; a cap limiting an employer with 10 or more employees to 10 per cent of their workforce being made up of TFWs being paid below the provincial median wage; fee hikes; stronger enforcement; and tougher penalties for offenders.

But Edmonton-St. Albert independent MP Brent Rathgeber said Kenney and the Conservative government are more interested in winning votes in southern Ontario and Atlantic Canada — where the TFWP is politically unpopular — than

helping businesses grow in the white-hot economies in the West.

“The government is always fond of saying that they support Canadians who work hard and play by the rules. But in this situation, they’re not supporting Canadians who work hard and play by the rules. They’re punishing all for the transgressions for the handful of employers who have treated temporary foreign workers poorly,” Rathgeber said. “I don’t mean to minimize the seriousness of the allegations against the employers who have treated their workers badly. But, for a handful of employers who have broken the rules, the entire industry was subject to a two-month moratorium, and now all sectors are going to be subject to these new rules, quotas and caps.”

“For every story of abuse of a temporary foreign worker, there are literally thousands of success stories,” he added.

Rathgeber was particularly irked by

the 10 per cent cap, saying it could lead to reduced levels of service.

“That’s going to cause some significant problems for local employers who are going to have to phase out their TFWs to get to that level, and that’s going to create some big holes in their human resources

strategies,” he said. “I wouldn’t be surprised — in fact, I’m quite confident that we’re going to see things like 24-hour drive-thrus close and reduced hours simply because the employers in that industry are not going to have the human resources to stay open.”

Rathgeber has held roundtable meetings with local businesspeople and the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce on the TFW issue in the past, before he left the Tory caucus last

summer, and while he felt the feedback he provided to the government was heard, it was not implemented.

“But the message was delivered. I

believe most Alberta MPs have delivered the message strong and clear to Minister Kenney. ... The government knows that Alberta and Saskatchewan employers need greater, not lesser, access to this program. However, the political reality is that this program is so politically unpopular in southern Ontario, where elections are won and lost, where there is the highest concentration of population and therefore the highest concentration of electoral seats,” Rathgeber said. “... The response has been a political response. It hasn’t been a sound policy or economic response.”

Still, Rathgeber is hopeful that a made-in-Alberta solution can be found to solve the problem with fewer TFWs and more immigration.

“Because Alberta’s situation in unique, and the federal government sees this whole program as a political liability — and they do — then there has to be an arrangement, similar to the arrangement Ottawa has with Quebec, where the province takes a much greater and much more hands-on approach when it comes to immigration,” he said.

Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson says funding for big cities will be a federal election issue.

Iveson made the comments at the CityAge conference on Monday held at the Hotel Macdonald.

“I predict a national strategy for funding transit in a much more significant way in our large cities is going to be an election issue in the next federal election,” Iveson said. “It’s a consistent topic among the mayors of the large cities.”

Jennifer Keesmaat, chief planner for the city of Toronto, linked a flourishing city with infrastructure, adding big cities are under-funded from the federal government.

“In the context of scarcity, we create a false competitiveness because there’s a very, very thin amount of money, wholly insufficient allocated to our municipalities,” Keesmaat said. “There’s this fight for the

public dollar that inhibits us rather than enhances us.”

In Toronto, there is a $33-billion need for transit, while Edmonton has a $10-billion

plan for the southeast. Calgary has a $13-billion master plan and Ottawa is $2 billion into a $5-billion LRT network.

“I want to carry that on to the northwest, I want to build northwest out towards St. Albert,” Iveson said.

He said all three orders of government need to give sustainable funding.

“You get cleaner air, you get less traffic congestion, you get more reliable labour mobility from it that are critical, not just to Edmonton’s competitiveness,

but to our country’s increasingly urban economy’s competitiveness,” Iveson said.

He likened the importance of LRT to trans-Canada highways for rural communities.

The conference is dealing with issues of growth, designing cities for public health and environment, and governance.

Former Toronto Maple Leafs President and GM Brian Burke attended a charity event at the home of Toronto businessman Mike Wilson last week in support of a cause very close to his heart —Facing Off against LGBTQ bullying.

His main reason for taking part was to raise awareness, and money, for the fight against LGBTQ bullying and to support of the Canadian Safe School Network. Burke is a leading advocate in ending homophobia in sports and every year participates in the Toronto Pride activities. His son Brendan, who came out in 2009, died at age 21 in a car accident the next year. His dad said the most important thing everyone can do to help the cause is to preach and teach acceptance at home.

“When Brendan told me he was gay I hugged him,” said Burke. “I didn’t need to take back one thing.”

In some ways, Burke said Brendan was fortunate in that, at 6-foot-4, and with an older brother (Patrick) “who would fight at the drop of a hat,” he was not bullied in school, but pointed out thousands of other Canadian kids aren’t as fortunate.

“I spoke at a school in Toronto and after we talked to some victims of bullying, I asked this little girl, tiny girl, I said, ‘What’s it like to be bullied?’ And she said, ‘It’s like everyone is pushing you down a hole and all the grown ups are gone.’ And that’s her life,” said Burke, trying to keep his emotions in check. “She said she hated getting up in the morning, she hated getting on the bus. And this doesn’t stop now. With the Internet, it’s 24/7.”

Turning to the evening’s host, Mike Wilson, Burke said: “The work you’re doing here is not just improving the quality of lives, it’s saving lives. There are kids who kill themselves in Canada. If you have a son or daughter who’s LGBTQ, their risk of death —for other kids in that age group the highest risk of death is a car accident —if they’re LGBTQ, it’s suicide. So we’re talking about saving lives.”

During the roundtable Q&A, someone asked Burke when he thinks the first gay NHL player will come out.

“Soon,” said Burke.“How soon?” the guy persisted.Not being able to help himself, Burke

answered (albeit with a mischievous smile): “Soon. What do I look like, a f---ing fortune teller?”

The dude then asked if Burke thought there were gay players already in the NHL. Burke replied that, yes, of course there are.

“If you go with the experts, people say

three to seven per cent (of the population is gay),” said Burke. “But say it’s 10 per cent. That’s what I use. But we’ll cut that in half just to make the math easy. Say five per cent. So we’ve got 750 players in the league. So we have gay players in the NHL. And then people say, ‘No, no, no. Gays don’t like contact sports.’ Which is bulls--t. So how many gay players do we have? 35 guys. And, we have a mirror image league in the minors. We have 30 players in the NHL, for every (gay) player we have the same thing in the minors.”

Burke was then asked if he would draft a straight player over a gay player.

“Who’s the better player?” replied Burke. “I don’t give a flying f--- what his sexuality is. I don’t care about the rest of the league. I’m taking the best player. I don’t care where he’s born, I don’t care what his sexual orientation is. I don’t care what his colour is. I don’t give a s--- about that. And smart people don’t.”

Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf was asked what his reaction would be if a teammate came out.

“I’d have no issue with it whatsoever,” said Phaneuf. “I’d fully accept it.”

As the evening wrapped up and Burke was asked about University of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, a seventh-round draft pick by the St. Louis Rams this season, who came out after completing his college career.

“Now his challenge is, he’s small,” said Burke. “He’s not a lock to make the NFL. He’s drafted by St. Louis, played college right down the road. But he’s not a lock. He’s undersized for his position; he’s going to have to switch positions to make it. We’re not out of the woods with this guy. We don’t have our first NFL gay player yet. But with luck, we will.”

Odysseo is a show unlike any other inthe world. Two years after the roaringsuccess of Cavalia in the capital city,artistic director Normand Latourelle – oneof the co-founders of Cirque du Soleil –presents its brand new 30-million dollartheatrical production under the White BigTop at Yellowhead Trail and Fort Road inEdmonton starting July 9.

Throughout this grand voyage,spectators discover urban stilters and applaudthe prowess of a troupe of African acrobats.Viewers are mesmerized by horses poweringangelic aerialists in a silks act that takesthem into the skies. Spectators of all ageswill appreciate the beautiful liberty number,uniting purebred Arabian horses directed byinaudible vocal commands from their kneelingtrainer.

The Odysseo epic wraps up with a fantasticcrescendo as the stage is inundated with300,000 liters of water in just a few minutes.A vertiginous virtual waterfall overhangs theresulting lake, in which horses, riders and artistsjoin to frolic, leaving behind them the traces oftheir splashes and an astonished audience.

Families of two slain G4S workers are suing the company and the man who killed his coworkers in the 2012 University of Alberta shooting.

Edgardo Rejano and Brian Ilesic’s family members have launched separate lawsuits against both the security company and Travis Baumgartner.

Michelle Shegelski, 26, Rejano, 39, and Ilesic, 35, were killed on June 15, 2012, when Baumgartner shot them at point-blank range with a .38-calibre handgun while the guards were refilling two ATMs at the University of Alberta’s HUB Mall.

G4S worker Matthew Schuman, 26, was left in critical condition but survived.

Separate statements of claim filed by the families of Rejano and Ilesic — for $1,672,000 and $578,000, respectively — say that G4S knew or ought to have known that Baumgartner was capable of the robbery, was psychologically and financially unstable and was

inadequately trained as an armed security guard. The lawsuit alleges G4S failed to look into his references, work history and background.

In the Rejano statement of claim, his wife Cleo Badon and her children Xavier, 8, and Xylar, 5, as well as Rejano’s siblings, Joseph Rejano, Donny Rejano, Christine Rejano and Abilgail Rejano, are suing G4S for negligence.

Rejano’s family cites damages for bereavement, grief, loss of guidance, care, companionship, valuable services and financial support.

Ilesic’s mother Dianne Linda Ilesic, father Emil Michael Ilesic and brothers Keith Michael Ilesic, Gregory Paul Ilesic and Jonathan Francis Ilesic are seeking damages for bereavement, out-of-pocket expenses and loss of dependency.

Baumgartner pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in September 2013, and was given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 40 years.

Statements of claim contain allegations that have not been proven in court.

Graduation ceremonies and other events that mark the

end of a school year are rife with tradition. Students know

it is important to receive their diplomas but may not have a full understanding of why that piece

of paper can help open so many doors.

Diplomas date back to some of the earliest schools, but were also conferred upon land owners in ancient times by kings and other authority figures. Some military personnel were also given diplomas to signal land grants that were not subject to taxes. Nowadays, diplomas take on a different

meaning and vary depending on where one lives in the world.Graduates who complete a specific

course of study are issued diplomas. Diplomas were once written on Italian sheepskin. Although “diploma” translates to “folded papers,” paper was not always an economically viable medium for diplomas. In fact, animal skins were used as recently as the 1950s.

Receiving a degree or diploma can be a point of pride in families where

older members may not have had the same educational opportunities as younger members. Many people move to North America for the educational opportunities, and a diploma can symbolize taking advantage of those opportunities.

According to the organization Do Something, roughly 20 per cent of first-time college students come from parents who have a high school diploma or less. The United States Department of Education says high school graduation rates have increased since the 2006-2007 school year. Around 80 per cent of students who enter high school now earn a regular or advanced diploma. Dropout rates are on the decline, and a growing number of high school students continue on to two- or four-year degrees.

In Canada, numbers are quite similar. Canada is second only to the United States in the high school completion rate of its working-age population. Statistics Canada says that enrollment in Canadian universities continues to increase. Enrollments are now approximately five per cent larger than they were just a few years ago.

Community colleges are benefitting from this influx of students. Various

statistics from the 2010-2011 year point to more than eight million American students enrolled in community colleges at that time. Community colleges enable students to take core curriculum credits at a less expensive institution and then move on to a four-year school later on to expand on their coursework. This presents a viable option to students who are looking to keep education costs manageable.

The reason so many students continue to apply themselves and come out after four or more years with diplomas and degrees is that they realize how competitive the job market can be. Graduates have a distinct advantage over other candidates. Some companies will not even consider a job candidate who does not possess some college education. Other employers pay more depending on the level of education the job candidates completed. According to the United States Department of Labor, employees with a bachelor’s degree earn about 54 per cent more on average than those who attended college but didn’t finish. Workers with advanced degrees (master’s, doctoral, etc.) can average $20,000 to $30,000 more per year than those with bachelor’s degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

As the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War draws closer, the Musée Heritage Museum is giving visitors a glimpse into what life was like in 1914 — both in the trenches and on the home front.

On June 17, the museum opened two new exhibits on the war. Joining Up: Our Men and Women in the First World War features extensive research on the 60 men — and one woman — from St. Albert who enlisted in the armed forces to fight in Europe, while The Home Front: Life in St. Albert During the First World War paints a portrait of the efforts to support the troops that were going on back at home.

“Of course, we need to remember the events, and not

forget what brought these things on and try to not go there again,” said museum curator Joanne White. “But it’s also so important to families. Being in St. Albert and having that focus, when we have somebody’s grandfather remembered, and that person comes into the gallery and are able to show their grandchildren, that continuity of community is, I think, really an important thing.”

The artifacts and photos of the various soldiers profiled in Joining Up were sourced by Musée Heritage Museum staff, with some coming from their own archives and others from private collections, the Royal Alberta Museum and the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Museum.

It’s a project that staff have been working on diligently for some time.

“We started about two years ago researching the soldiers, trying to find out what we could, and we started a database of information about them,” White said.

“It was a big subject, which is partly why we split it up into smaller subjects,” she added.

The one woman among the 60 men was Margaret Anna Kennedy, a nursing sister enrolled with the Canadian Army Medical Corps. While there isn’t a lot known about her — as is the case with many soldiers in the exhibit — White said she was a fascinating person to study.

“She’s representative of the many hundreds of women who went over; it just happened that, from our community, she was the one who officially joined up,” White said, adding she hopes

family members who come out to see the exhibit may be able to fill in some blanks. “The roles of women were changing drastically at the time, with getting the vote and all those things that were going on. And as men were going off to war, women were having to step in (at home) as well.”

Still, the whole contingent that went overseas made up about 10 per cent of the fledgling town’s population at the time. Five of the men didn’t come back.

Meanwhile, The Home Front details some of the efforts to support both soldiers and European people who were displaced by the war. One photograph in the exhibit depicts a train car that a local club was trying to fill with

goods to send to Belgium.There is still a strong desire to

lend the same kind of support today, White said.

“You’re trying to keep morale up in a way,” she said. “At the

beginning of the war, everyone was very gung-ho; they thought it would be over quickly. But to keep being positive and helping out as it went on was, I’m sure, much more difficult.”

Joining Up: Our Men and Women in the First World War runs until Nov. 16. The Home Front: Life in St. Albert During the

First World War only runs until Aug. 31, and will be replaced for the duration of the time by an exhibit entitled Brigadier-General Raymond Brutinel and the Motor Machine Gun Brigades.

The old saying goes; look good….feel good.That saying certainly applies to our furryfriends as well. Regular grooming of our pets,particularly dogs, goes a long way to ensurethey not only look their best but it can beinstrumental in detecting various ailments suchas skin disorders, toe nail issues and other healthmatters.Amber Massneri, theprofessional groomer atPet Planet, often finds clueswhen grooming her “clients”that may suggest a visit tothe Vet is in order. The firststep is filling out a clientinformation card alongwith a brief chat with theowner to determine what isrequired. She then conductsan assessment of the animalbefore proceeding withthe grooming. Generallyyou will need to leave yourpet for the morning orthe afternoon. Once thegrooming is complete Amberreviews any concerns withthe owner at pick-up.Pet Planet offers a wide variety of groomingservices and packages to meet every breedsneeds. The basic “Head Toe Tail” packageincludes a bath, brush out, nail trim, ears

plucked and anal glands checked and expressedif needed. Included is a haircut with four shavelengths along with a bow for the girls and abandana for the boys! Additional packages andservices such as teeth scaling, breed cuts, nailgrinding and walk-in services for specific bodyareas are available.“One of the best things we can do for our

dogs overall health,” saysMassneri,” is a regulargrooming program at home.Brushing their fur out andbrushing their teeth is a greathabit to get in to. Keepingthe hair around their eyes

trimmed can avoid sores,infection and potential visionissues.”

Depending on the breed of dog and theenvironment they live in, the grooming schedulewill vary but furrier breeds should be done every6 to 8 weeks. Breeds like Huskies can actually

have the undercoat of their fur begin to rot ifit becomes too thick or matted and is wet allthe time. One of the biggest challenges dogowners face is trimming their dog’s nails. Somecanines absolutely hate having their feet andnails touched. Masserni suggests playing withyour dog’s feet and nails right from puppyhoodto get them accustomed to being handled. Ifyour dog is smelly, itchy, the nails are curved, isdisplaying excessive licking, bum “scooting” orworrying at his ears, then it’s most likely timefor a visit to the groomer.Massneri laughs when asked about the pitfallsof being a groomer.“I’ve been bitten many times, been scratched,had “fluid” incidents and picked up hair slivers.But I love spending time with the dogs, makingthem happier and healthier,” she says,” and I getlots of kisses!”In addition to grooming, Pet Planet carries awide variety of pet food, toys, treats, clothing,and equipment and offers pet nutritioncounselling. Locally owned, Pet Planet is veryinvolved in the community by supportingvarious animal rescue organizations includingthe Northern Sky Greyhound Adoption groupwho will be at the store Saturday afternoon July12th.For further grooming information contact PetPlanet at 780-569-5474, visit them at # 102- 398St. Albert Trail next door to O’Maillies Irish Pubor online at [email protected]

HELPING PETS LIVE LONGER SINCE 1996There is nothing more important to use than your pet’s life

Two of the most common causes of heatstroke in our pets come from being left in a parked vehicleand from overexertion in the hot weather. Keep your pets safe and cool this summer byfollowing a few simple rules:

� NEVER leave your pet in an unventilated area, and rememberthat this can include a house or apartment withoutair-conditioning as well as a vehicle. An outdoor doghouseor kennel should be well ventilated and located in the shade.

� Overexertion and intense exercise should be avoidedduring the middle part of the day. Try to encouragemore active play in the early morning and lateafternoon when the temperature is cooler.

� Pay extra attention to grooming during the summer.Removing loose hair and keeping your dog’s coatfree of tangles will help them feel more comfortablewhen the weather is hot, particularly whenyour pet is shedding.

� Make sure that fresh, cool water is always available andaccessible. “No-spill” containers are a helpful tool andare always available at your local Pet Planet.

� Allowing a dog access to a child’s shallow wading pool,�� excellent method for keeping your pet cool during theheat of the day.

Canadian crooner Michael Buble has been touring the world since last summer playing arenas in support of his latest album, 2013’s To Be Loved.

But like The Wizard of Oz’s Dorothy, he insists there’s no place like home.

“It doesn’t matter how far I go or how big it gets, you’ll always be my peers,” said the Burnaby, B.C.-raised Buble, 38, down the line from Vancouver where he kicked off his eight-city Canadian tour with a pair of shows earlier this week before heading east across the country for the rest of June and into early July, including a stop in Edmonton on Sunday.

“Madison Square Garden (in New York City) is a prestigious place to play and I love it, I mean how lucky am I? I get to go play two nights at MSG, but to be honest it won’t mean as much to me… It’s not my home. This is my country… This will always be the most important place I come to play.”

Buble, who is known as much for his quick wit as smooth sounding vocals, says this trek he’s also trying to keep the talking down to a minimum after a chatty Crazy Love tour in 2010 in Canada.

“I think it was a little bit talk heavy,” he says. “I felt I was a light on songs. I think that was a matter of confidence and maybe a little bit laziness too. This tour is really a lot more music heavy. Yet it has enough peaks and valleys and patter and things to make it seem like it’s very quick. It really should seem you’re only hanging out with me for half-an-hour as opposed to two.”

Both his Argentinian actress-wife Luisana Lopilato (“she’d be like the Jennifer Aniston of their culture”), and son Noah, who turns one in August, go on the road with Buble and he says their presence makes him a better live performer.

“As I’ve come into my mid 30s I’ve really started to understand what it takes to be a great touring act and the truth is what it takes is discipline, a huge amount of discipline, you have to be an athlete,” he said. “Listen, I love having a pop with the boys. I love it. I’m still a Burnaby party boy. But the truth is there’s not much room for it out there. So having my wife and kid out there makes it a lot easier for me to do my job, and do a runner off the stage and go to the hotel and rent a movie and be fulfilled and happy and not feel like I’m missing something.”

Buble clearly abides by the code,

‘Happy wife, happy life,’ as the Italian-Canadian, who has citizenship in both countries, says he’s cheering for Argentina in the World Cup.

To demonstrate his commitment, his wife and in-laws — who are in the same room with him — chant: “Argentina! Argentina!”

More seriously, Buble — who celebrated his first Father’s Day this year — said: “Being a father has really made everything a lot more simpler for me... I believe because of where my priorities lay now, that my career in music has become a much easier thing for me. Much more simple. I‘m not stressing out about it. It’s important to me. I care very deeply about it. But it’s really not the No. 1 priority.”

So we can expect a song for Noah perhaps in the future?

“You probably can. I think naturally, he inspires me. He’s my favourite thing in the whole world.”

Buble says he has a lot of ideas for his next album that may see him “go back to the roots,” but cautions fans it isn’t going to happen right away.

“I’d like to take some time to maybe do some other things... There’s a lot of opportunities that come up every day and I’ve just got to look at my cards and decide which ones to play.”

In his hit song “I Want Crazy,” country star Hunter Hayes talks about being crazy in love, but Monday night he was treated to whole different kind of crazy at West Edmonton Mall thanks to hundreds of screaming fans.

The 22-year-old crooner from Louisiana played a handful of songs at the HMV stage, including his anti-bullying anthem called “Invisible,” and his newest single “Tattoo,” both off his new album called Storyline.

Thirteen-year-old Maya Hill and 14-year-

old Sarah Sitco waited for four hours to score themselves a prime-seat for the 6:30 p.m. free show, but don’t worry, thanks to exams they didn’t miss any class-time.

Their friend plunked himself down and had a little cat-nap while he waited for the show to start, but the girls were clearly to excited to do the same.

“Waiting wasn’t that bad, it went really fast,” Sitco said.

“We just thought it would be really exciting and a good experience.” Hill added.

It’s actually the second-time the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter has offered a free show and some meet-and-greet time with fans

at West Edmonton Mall, having put on a similar show back in 2012.

“The last time I did a mall show was here actually,” he told the crowd. “And there are way more people here today than there were back then, so thank you so much for spreading the word.”

Hayes has apparently been in our city for a couple of days; Monday morning, Hayes tweeted a picture of himself and Michael Buble, who played in our city Sunday night.

He is due back in Alberta as one of the headlining acts at this year’s Big Valley Jamboree running July 31 to Aug. 3.

While suburban Chicago-bred pop-punk-rock outfit Fall Out Boy didn’t exactly Save Rock and Roll — also the title of their 2013 album — they did manage to resuscitate their musical career.

After a three-year hiatus that followed disappointing sales and mixed reviews of their last album, 2008’s Folie a Deux, and a troubled tour where audiences sometimes booed the new material, the group rebounded with a No. 1 album last year.

They’ve also hooked up with Paramore for a North American trek called the Monumentour that visits Toronto’s Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Wednesday for its lone stop on this side of the border.

“When we made this album Folie a Deux, I think we maybe reached a little beyond what people kind of expected or were comfortable with at the time and some of it maybe fell short,” said FOB’s guitarist-lyricist Pete Wentz during a teleconference

call.“I don’t really know. I’m not

really sure... But at the same time I think that that paved the way for us to do Save Rock and Roll and move beyond what people would have normally expected.”

Wentz said the group haven’t “officially” begun work on their next album and fans should prepare themselves yet again for something different.

“Like doing the Young Blood Chronicles (a series of videos for every song on Save Rock and Roll) was a lot of fun for us, doing the film or whatever,” said Wentz, 35. “If anything I think that we’re far more open now to doing something that’s like probably outside of what people would consider our genre or who we are. So the music that we’ve written so far, to me it’s sounds different than any of the other stuff we’ve ever worked on.”

Wentz describes the Young Blood Chronicles as “a passion project” that will eventually be released on DVD.

“Fall Out Boy in 2014 is really about the curation of ideas as

much as it is about creating albums... I think that Pharrell curating this art show that goes along with his album is like just a great other stream that you can examine as an artist right now.”

The Young Blood Chronicles ended dramatically with the last gore-filled video for the title track featuring an entirely white-clad Elton John, 67, covered in blood.

“It was crazy,” said Wentz. “When we were like jamming in the room, all of the rest of our instruments are muted obviously, but a piano you don’t really mute ... So to hear Elton playing ‘Save Rock and Roll’ live ... it was really just epic. He was just doing different takes every time and it really was interesting. The thing that I think is lost on a lot of people is like there’s a wink with everything. He’s really funny, really, really sharp, and I think people are kind like, ‘Is he’s a diva?’ It’s not that. It’s really sharp. People that don’t get it aren’t really in on the joke. He’s just pretty unfiltered.”

If the Edmonton Oilers or Calgary Flames aren’t drawing a huge crowd of tourists to Alberta, the Los Angeles Kings just may be.

Travel Alberta says it scored big by signing an exclusive tourism advertising deal with the L.A. Kings, the NHL team that recently celebrated its second Stanley Cup victory. Fans attending last week’s playo� games in California would have seen the massive ‘We are all Kings’ banner wrapped around the outside of the Staples Center, with Travel Alberta a sponsor alongside Toyota and McDonalds.

Alberta �rst signed on as the “Preferred International Travel Destination of the LA Kings” in 2012

and Travel Alberta chief marketing o�cer Royce Chwin said the team’s success has boosted tourism in the province.

“Of course, who knew when we originally signed up with them a couple of years ago that would be the same year they went to the playo�s and won the Stanley Cup, so we renewed the agreement and same thing happened,” said Chwin.

“Cheekily, we call this the Alberta Advantage because their coach Darryl Sutter is from Alberta as well,” he laughed.

�e agreement costs roughly $560,000 annually but Chwin says the province estimates that the cost of buying similar advertising in the area would be upwards of

$3 million. Travel Alberta’s logo is on Kings’ banners, in-arena signage and other merchandise. �e province is also mentioned as a popular tourism destination on the team’s social media pages and in its messaging to fans.

As part of the Kings-Florida Panthers game in March, Travel Alberta took over Nokia Plaza in Los Angeles to erect a six-story in�atable

dome — �e Alberta Immersive Experience Dome — that brought Alberta to L.A. using a “state-of-the-art” 360-degree immersive video. �e �ve-minute video was played around an eight-foot wide faux �re pit and campsite that sat in the center of the dome, allowing fans “to gaze up and see majestic imagery of Alberta landscapes and culture.”

Yoga, pilates and ballet are coming together in the newest workout studio to hit St. Albert.

Sculpt Barre opened on Carleton Drive, just above Leading Edge Physiotherapy, on June 13, where founder and studio director Nikki Smith is already seeing classes �ll up.

“We do a lot of isometric holds, use small weights to slowly burn out the muscles, and do a lot of stretching to incorporate that extension and �exibility into the workout as well,” Smith explained.

While the program may seem intimidating or specialized for dancers, Smith pointed out that it’s suitable for just about every �tness level — her current clientele range from 16 to 74 years of age.

“It’s great for people coming back from injuries. It’s great for people who are dealing with knee problems and hip problems, because there are so many modi�cations and because it is so low-impact,” Smith said. “It literally is for everyone.”

While the method is new to St. Albert, it has been around for a while. Barre �tness traces its roots back to German dancer Lotte Berk, who was in a car accident and su�ered a spinal cord injury. Looking for an activity to keep her in shape during her rehabilitation, she created the fusion of yoga, pilates and ballet techniques.

But it has been so much more for some of Smith’s clients, who have seen dramatic improvements over a short time under her instruction and that of her fellow “barretenders,” who are fully certi�ed in the Sculpt Barre method.

“Just the way their arms look, just the way their bodies start to take shape, you actually do get that dancer’s body,” she said. “People are skeptical about that at �rst; they initially think, ‘�ere’s no way.’ But everything becomes long and lean. �at’s the

di�erence between barre and other workouts — we don’t build short, bulky muscles.”

For herself, Smith said barre was a workout like no other, and one she keeps coming back to over and over again.

“I was completely addicted to it,” she said. “When you’re a pretty active person and you’re doing spin class and yoga and pilates and volleyball and badminton — literally everything — and always switching it around, this was the �rst thing I found that just

stuck. I always came back to (it).”Smith �rst tried barre while living

in the United States, where it has been popular for the past decade. When she moved back home to Alberta in 2012, she brought the idea with her, hoping to get in on the ground �oor when the craze spread to Canada.

“I knew how much I still wanted to do it,” she said, “and I knew people would really love it. Being able to see the trends in the U.S. for as long as I was able to, I just knew it would be really successful here.”

Smith opened her �rst studio in Sherwood Park almost a year ago, and it has done very well there. St. Albert was a natural next step, she said, due to similar demographics and the �erce love of small business in smaller communities.

“Small communities, I �nd they’re very passionate, very proud about their small businesses. I think that’s really cool,” Smith said. “I feel like, in smaller cities like Sherwood Park and St. Albert, they’re more responsive to boutiques, whether it’s clothing stores or �tness.”

With the St. Albert studio open, Smith has her eyes on expanding further — possibly in the Capital Region or possibly outside Alberta — and becoming the leading name in barre �tness in Canada.

“Nothing I can give too much detail about right now,” she said with a laugh.

AD{CS5272626}

William Sheppard was first issued a patent for liquid soap in 1865. His discovery was that regular soap, mixed with liberal quantities of hartshorn, resulted in a soap derivative that had the consistency of a thick honey or molasses. The new product was soon found in many public facilities, but never found mass acceptance in the home. This all changed in the 1970s when the Minnetonka corporation offered a modern version of the soap called Crème Soap on Tap in decorative ceramic containers through specialty boutique shops.

The product gained almost immediate market acceptance, and in the 1980s, Minnetonka created a mass market version of the product in a unique pump bottle dispenser which they named Softsoap. The product flew off the shelves, and although they were happy, Minnetonka management was also very nervous.

The hand soap market was dominated by very large players such as Procter and Gamble, Lever Brothers, Dial, and Colgate-Palmolive, who wouldn’t take kindly to a new upstart threatening to steal their market share. Minnetonka has a history of innovation, and successfully launched toothpaste brands, as well as the perfumes Obsession and Eternity. But in the 1970s, the company had launched a line of fruit shampoos that quickly threatened the market prospects of established player’s like P&G’s Clairol division, which swiftly

countered with their own line of fruit shampoos. Clairol quickly knocked Minnetonka’s shampoos off the retail shelves, and Minnetonka management did not want a repeat performance of that defeat.

The complication was that nothing about the soap or its production was patentable. The problem of protecting this new product’s life on the shelf seemed to be insurmountable, until management realized one simple thing.

One of the key aspects of the Softsoap experience was the dispensing of the soap itself through the bottle’s pump. The patent for the pump was closely held, and there were only two manufacturers for the device. In a bold and audacious move, Minnetonka bought up nearly 100,000,000 units of future production of the dispensing pumps, basically betting the entire company on the hopes that Softsoap would be a stellar

success.Without access to

the pumps, competitors could not launch a rival product for nearly two years, thus giving Softsoap the lead time it needed to establish itself. The Softsoap brand was such a success that Colgate-Palmolive bought the division in 1987 for $61 million.

What’s the marketing strategy lesson?

Small business marketing is not wholesale different from big business marketing, and both are first and foremost about strategy. In this case, the winning strategic move was to clear the landscape of all competitors. By locking up key resources,

Minnetonka was able to do just that.Apple also executed a similar move

when introducing their first generation iPod, locking up the supply of the new micro hard drives that were essential to the product. Once again, competitors had to sit on the sidelines and wait for new hard drive supply before they could enter the market, thus giving Apple a multi-year head start.

In a service example, if you want to build a new real estate development project of major size in our geography, there are only two electrical companies to choose from because they have effectively “locked up” the supply of qualified electricians for such big projects. Other electrical contractors simply don’t have the labor capacity to credibly submit a bid for large projects like these.

What resources can you lock up?

The ratio of Canadian household debt to income edged down further in the first quarter from the record high it hit last year, buttressing policymakers’ expectations that a soft landing is in store for the housing market and family indebtedness.

Statistics Canada reported last week a ratio of 163.2 per cent in the first quarter. The ratio reached a record high of 164.1 per cent in the third quarter of last year, and dipped to 163.9 per cent in the fourth quarter.

In relative terms, the decline in the first quarter was tiny for a measure that jumped from 108.5 per cent in early 2000 to 129.2 per cent in 2006, and then rose inexorably in the following years as Canada avoided the real estate crash that afflicted the United States.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver and Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz have been watching the housing market and household debt levels for signs that consumers are being overstretched but they have been relatively sanguine about recent trends.

Oliver said this week he expected a soft landing in the housing market. The Bank of Canada said last Thursday it continued to see “a constructive evolution in housing market imbalances and household credit.”

The bank said, however, that household debt and overvalued housing remain the financial system’s biggest vulnerability, with housing valuations stretched and overbuilding in some parts of the market.

Economists cautioned that the debt-income ratio is not seasonally adjusted. It typically declines in the first quarter as households pay off Christmas purchases and hold off buying homes until spring and summer.

“Still, today’s broad results are a tantalizing hint that the corner is turning for household debt, and lend support to the Bank of Canada’s view that imbalances are evolving ‘constructively,’” said Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter.

“Gathering signs that debt is close to stabilizing suggest that the bank can focus more on supporting growth (i.e. staying dovish) and less on guarding against too-rapid household debt growth (i.e. talking hawkish).”

With interest rates very low, the debt-servicing ratio was at a historic low of 6.97 per cent in the first quarter on a seasonally adjusted annual basis. That ratio, of course, would rise if interest rates rose.
