St. Albert Catholic High School students (L-R) Stephanie Parth, Olivia Billsten, Adam MacMahon and Alexander Welling are part of the cast for the school’s production of The Breakfast Club, based on the classic ’80s movie written by John Hughes that still resonates with teenagers today. See story, page 12.

That’s how much money The Breakfast Club made at the worldwide box office when it was released in 1985 — a great return on its purported budget of only $1 million.

These are exciting times for economic development in St. Albert, and local officials want to help out in any way possible.

That was the message from the City of St. Albert Tuesday morning during the ninth annual Business Breakfast, held at the Enjoy Centre.

Hundreds of people came out to the event to hear Mayor Nolan Crouse, city manager Patrick Draper and economic development executive director Guy Boston speak about the progress St. Albert has made over the past year and the opportunities coming up in the near future.

“We — economic development and the departments in the City that are in support of growth — are here to help you capitalize on St. Albert’s coming economic prosperity,” Boston said.

Boston spoke at length about some of the areas of the city where residents can expect to see both residential and non-residential developments starting to pop up

over the next year. One of the most immediate is in the south end of Campbell Business Park, where Hermanos Holdings is already moving dirt for a development at 1 Carswell Street.

“We’ve talked about ketchup by the case,” Boston said, referring to the hint he dropped at last year’s Business Breakfast about Costco coming to town. “There may be another opportunity in this area for other stuff by the case or by the pallet.”

The South Riel lands were also a hot topic, with Icon Communities ready to build 700 residential units and GWL set to develop another 150 acres.

As well, Boston said Melcor is expected to submit an area structure plan soon for its Jensen Lakes development — located just west of Walmart along Villeneuve Road — and have shovels in the ground sometime this year.

The City’s economic development department is also working on a number of marketing strategies to bring both businesses and families to St. Albert.

Some of those efforts include a “Did You Know?” tour for developers and real estate agents, the Dig In “horticulinary” festival at the Enjoy Centre this October, a tax calculator for the City’s website, and an event called #GENYCEO, which Boston described as a “little Dragons’ Den” where kids 15 and up can pitch business ideas for the downtown core and earn seed funding.

Of course, some of the best marketing is word-of-mouth, and Boston said St. Albert’s reputation is changing and attracting investors like Cape Construction from British Columbia.

“We don’t have to toot our own horn. We’ve got people doing that for us,” he said.

While all this new development sounds great, Boston said it also presented “huge opportunities” for existing businesses in St. Albert.

“There are new markets and there will be new areas to grow into,” he said. “There’s more commercial development, so you can double up on your business sites or expand into new ones.”

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.”

Both bylaws passed by 5-2 votes, with councillors Cam MacKay and Sheena Hughes voting against.

“In my own personal life, I’ve never felt bad when I try my best. But in this case, we never tried at all,” MacKay said. “We never tried to look for a superior location, a location that was safer and better situated for this school. It’s difficult to look residents in the eye and say this was the best solution we could come up with, because we all know we never tried.”

Meanwhile, Hughes said this decision was not just about land or bus lanes or schools.

“If this rezoning occurs, it will not only be remembered as just a council decision, but a personal decision. It is a test of character for each person on council,” she said.

But Mayor Nolan Crouse said he was focusing on the whole community when casting his vote in favour.

“I represent 62,000 people — I represent children, I represent anybody and everybody that lives in the community. I don’t just represent taxpayers; I don’t just represent people in a particular location,” the mayor said. “I have to look for the greater good of the entire community,

and in our particular case, for me, the greater good is to approve this particular location.”

“One thing that’s incumbent on councillors is to always be open to all sorts of new information,” Brodhead added. “And in this particular case, the best location going forward was to move it to the west side.”

A work plan for the site and for possible traffic mitigations will be developed over the next few months. Once that is finalized, likely sometime next year, staff will bring back to council bylaws to subdivide out the school site and transfer it to the francophone, and revert the remaining land in Eldorado Park back to parkland.

Organizers of a local car show are revved up after finding a new location to park themselves.

For the past 21 years, the St. Albert Cruisers car club has been putting on their Autorama show-and-shine on the last Sunday in May, raising money for the Stop Abuse in Families (SAIF) Society. But the future of the event was cast into doubt in January when the club was told it would no longer be able to stage it in the parking lot at St. Albert Centre.

However, organizing committee chair Blair Art said last week that they’ve found a new home in downtown St. Albert, in the parking lot across from St. Albert Place.

“We’re happy,” Art said. “It’s nice to be in a position where we can plan now anyhow.”

He added that there were other potential locations on the table and that people had approached the club with ideas, but the downtown location made the

most sense.“There are a lot of car shows

that go in communities’ downtowns, and I guess we thought this would be an added

(value) to the show,” Art said.The show typically attracts

about 200 cars, and will be using both the parking lot and part of St. Michael Street. Setup for the International Children’s Festival will be taking place at the same time, though, so some stalls will be taken up for that.

“We’re a little crimped for

space, truthfully, if we have the same number of cars we’ve had in the past,” Art said. “But there’s some parallel parking along St. Thomas Street on one side, the side next to the parking lot, that’s kind of an overflow area. And we also have an overflow area in the green space across the street.”

And, he added, they won’t have to move off their traditional date in May.

“When we talked about changing dates, you immediately walk into all kinds of problems with other car shows and other events that are not necessarily car shows,” he said.

With the location set, Art and the Cruisers are hoping to work with businesses in the downtown core to make the Autorama experience a memorable one for visitors.

“We want to be what I’ll call good neighbours,” he said, noting he has already met a couple of times with the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s Perron District committee. “We’re talking to all those businesses that back onto the park.”

Leader file photo

hen the Canadian Olympic Committee and all the national

sports federations here in Canada began rolling out the names of the athletes who would be wearing the Maple Leaf in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, I have to admit that I was kind of worried.

You see, St. Albertans were in short supply this year. With Kevin Martin’s curling rink bowing out in the semifinals of the Roar of the Rings curling trials back in December, that meant second Marc Kennedy would not have a chance to defend his gold medal from Vancouver in 2010. Neither would Jarome Iginla, who — despite being a target for many teams at the trade deadline in the 2013 season — was apparently past his prime and

out of the running for a spot on the men’s hockey team.

In the end, St. Albert had only one representative in Sochi: women’s hockey defenceman Meaghan Mikkelson, who was in the lineup for the gold medal game after sitting out the team’s semifinal win over Switzerland on Monday.

So I was worried not only at the prospect of not having much Olympic content to put in the Leader, but I was also worried that the lack of St. Albert athletes would mean that interest in the Games would wane locally, and no

one would be excited to follow what was happening in Russia.

But how wrong I’ve been. Nearly every school I’ve been to over the past couple of weeks has had some sort of Olympic display going on, most notably the hair dryer-powered Olympic torch in the lobby of Keenooshayo Elementary School. At local high schools, it seems some of the events line up perfectly with morning flex blocks, and the Games are the distraction of choice.

Such Olympic spirit is pretty amazing to behold. I remember being enthralled myself by the Games when I was younger, especially the 1988 Winter Olympics, which were held in Calgary, not terribly far from where I grew up in Lethbridge. Despite only being six years old, I distinctly

remember going out to see the torch run pass just a few blocks from my house, hoping against hope that whoever was carrying it would stop and light the little candle my parents had picked up from Petro-Canada.

I realized at a pretty young age that my own dreams of competing in the Olympics would probably not come to fruition, mostly due to a lack of co-ordination and speed and pretty much anything else you need to be good at sports. But seeing so many young people being inspired by this year’s Games is heartening, and I hope they take that inspiration and run with it. That way, in the future, we won’t have to worry about how many St. Albertans are competing — we’ll already know they’re there.

ortable signs have long been targets in St. Albert — big, neon targets. Of course, they aren’t terribly elusive

targets, considering how prolific they are along major roadways like St. Albert Trail.

At Monday’s regular meeting of city council, though, motions were on the floor to take the target off sign companies’ backs somewhat, as Coun. Sheena Hughes proposed to lower quarterly permit rates, introduce a cheaper annual rate, increase the number of signs allowed per building from two to three and to implement a 30-day grace period before charging a late permit renewal fee of $150.

In the end, only the last of the motions was considered, and it passed after it was amended to a 14-day grace period. Clearly, portable signs remain squarely in the crosshairs of the City of St. Albert — and with good reason.

We’re not against businesses using roadway advertising signage, but we need to find a better presentation and common ground on the issue. Simply put, the signs are eyesores and just aren’t as effective as they once were. And in a city that prides itself on its appearance and its botanical brand, in a city that people come home to and try to escape the industrial feel of work, it’s hard to find a place where they belong.

It’s easy to say that charging so much for portable signs is anti-business and only feeds into St. Albert’s reputation as unfriendly toward business. But no matter what the fee, the appetite is still there — according to the City, when fees doubled in 2012, sign applications dropped by less than one per cent.

When it comes to advertising, there simply has to be a better way — a better-looking way. New technology has allowed the sign industry to make a quantum leap in terms of aesthetics, with well-designed printed sheets able to replace the garish patchwork of neon letters on some portable sign frames.

But not all companies appear to have adopted this technology yet, and it’s little consolation when it seems like there are still signs every 50 to 100 metres all the way down St. Albert Trail. That many signs simply tend to fade into the background and don’t serve their intended purpose.

WHEREIS THIS?

The overall quality of life for young people in St. Albert has improved over the last five years, according to a new survey.

On Monday, staff with the City of St. Albert’s Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) department presented city council with the results of the latest 40 Developmental Assets survey, which was completed in 2013 and charts the progress the City has made since the program was introduced in 2008.

More than 3,600 students from Grades 7 to 11 were surveyed last year, indicating the number of assets — or “basic building blocks of human development” identified by research completed by the Search Institute out of Minneapolis, Minn. — they feel they have or have access to in St. Albert. Such assets can include positive family communication, caring school climates, safety, equality and social justice, peaceful conflict resolution and a sense of purpose.

On average, students reported an increase of three assets in St. Albert, climbing from 18.9 in 2008 to 21.9 in 2013. Increases were also reported across every grade level. Sixteen per cent of students felt they had between 31 and 40 of the assets in 2013, compared to nine per cent in 2008.

Among external assets — assets that are reinforced and supported by society through government policy, health care providers and law enforcement officials — only two assets were noted to have decreased: Creative activities and time at home.

There were three decreases among internal assets — ones that involve commitments, skills and values that guide young people — including reading for pleasure, personal power and self-esteem.

“We’re going to take a fine look at all those fine details and look who might be our strategic partners in the community — culture, library, etc. — and then engage those communities,” said Scott Rodda, the City’s FCSS director, when asked about addressing the areas that were down.

But there were also decreases in the number of risk-taking behaviours — such as alcohol use, marijuana use, weapon use, gambling or skipping school — reported by students, no matter how many assets they felt they had.

In 2008, 9.9 per cent of students who reported having zero to 10 of the 40 assets had engaged in risk-taking behaviours; in 2013, that dropped to 7.1 per cent. The figure among those who reported having 21 to 30 assets dropped from 2.2 per cent to 1.4 per cent.

“It is impossible to assume that the positive results are solely due to the efforts associated with the 40 Developmental Assets initiative; however, according to the Search Institute, any increase in the number of assets overall is a very favourable outcome and clearly suggests St. Albert is doing great work,” the report reads.

The leaders who drive economic engines in communities across western Canada and the northwestern United States will once again be making a pit stop in St. Albert.

Just as they did last year, the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the 2014 edition of the Northwest Chamber Leaders Conference from March 5 to 7 at the River Cree Resort and Casino, bringing together delegates from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon.

“You always learn things from others, and that’s part of the joy of these conferences,” said St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Lynda Moffat. “You learn from experts and you have the opportunity to share time with each other.”

Last year, Moffat said everything went very smoothly.

“Of course, it was our first year to host it here, and we learned a few things that we’d like to do better,” she said. “So this year, we’re giving those a try, and I think it will be absolutely awesome this year.”

Last year was also the first time the conference was held in Alberta.

Premier Alison Redford delivered a keynote address at last year’s conference, but Moffat said she would not be able to do the same this year.

However, Moffat is very excited to hear some of the other speakers that have been lined up for this year’s conference, including Jim Brown, author of the book The Imperfect Board Member.

“A lot of chambers of commerce have questions or challenges with their

boards of directors and how to do board development — just to help out your directors to do their job really well,” Moffat said. “I think this speaker is absolutely world-class.”

Another speaker is Alan Mallory, a Barrie, Ont., native who climbed Mount Everest in 2008.

“He’ll be talking about teamwork and how critical it is to succeed in anything you want to do,” Moffat said.

Delegates will also have an evening of fun at Mayfield Dinner Theatre in west Edmonton.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Think Global, Act Local,” which is a concept Moffat said is becoming more and more relevant with each passing year.

“We’re trying to look outward into the global economy, and I know global competitiveness is a very big issue identified by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and it’s something we try to carry forward in the work we do,” she said. “Being globally competitive, there’s a lot of help there for businesses who wish to trade internationally. It’s just a bit of education and discussion and things like that let them know there’s a lot of help out there for them.”

The draft plan provides a broad strategy for

possible future police resource requirements

and would provide the basis for future

investment in the policing of St. Albert.

The Concerto Network is an economic development initiative for francophone communities in Alberta. Coun. Gilles Prefontaine

put forward a motion Monday to have St. Albert

join the network.

Councillor Hughes’s three motions dealing with fee

reduction, the offering of an annual fee and the

maximum number of signs were deferred and council addressed only the permit

renewal late fee motion.

✘✔ ✘✔✔✔✔

The motion as amended by Coun. Osborne will

implement a 14-day grace period prior to the

imposition of a $150 late fee. If the renewal occurs within the 14-day grace period, the renewal will be backdated to

the original renewal date.

✔✔ ✔✔✔✔✔

The report now moves to the “feedback” stage, seeking comment from the general public, stake holders and councillors. The final report is to be

brought back to Council by June 23

✔✔ ✔✘✔✔✔

The agenda report from staff reads: “It is hard to define

the benefits of belonging to an organization that is so

new and in this case the only true test of the benefits of

Concerto would be realized through joining.”

The best of the best of St. Albert’s arts community will be recognized once again next month.

The annual Mayor’s Celebration of the Arts awards gala will be held on Friday, March 14, at the Arden Theatre, where winners in six categories will be announced out of a pool of 31 nominees.

“These awards are important to me as they honour and recognize those individuals and groups who ensure the long-term sustainability of our arts and cultural heritage, not only through their own creativity but also by nurturing the passion in others,” Mayor Nolan Crouse said in a press release.

Award recipients will receive a custom piece of art crafted by Kyle Walton, owner of Hammer and Forge Design Studio.

The gala starts at 6:30 p.m., with this year’s theme being “Retro Radio.” Tickets are $35 each and are available through Ticketmaster or the Arden box office.

Almost 30 years after it first hit theatres, The Breakfast Club still connects with the drama students at St. Albert Catholic High School, and they’re hoping it will connect with audiences when they put it on at the Arden Theatre next month.

The school’s drama department is getting ready for the curtain to go up on their production of the John Hughes classic on March 5 and 6 at the Arden, with shows at noon and 7 p.m. each day.

Drama teacher Debbie Dyer said it’s the themes in the story that still ring true almost three decades later.

“Even though their (labels) are ‘brain,’ ‘princess,’ or ‘criminal, and those are the stereotypes, instantly you start to feel that the characters — whether you’re watching it on the screen or our piece on the stage — that they’re multi-dimensional. There’s not a one-dimensional human being that exists, and that’s something John Hughes recognizes in a lot of his writing,” Dyer said. “I’m not being simplified, I’m not being degraded, I’m not being judged as being a teenager. Here’s a person that’s actually reflecting my story.”

Emily Vilcsak, a Grade 10 student who is playing Allison Reynolds — the “basket case” of the unlikely group of students who find themselves bonding during detention on a Saturday — in the first day’s shows, said she was a fan of the movie before the show was announced, and has since watched the movie “over and over.”

“I fell in love with it. It’s such a great story, and it’s so relatable to the audiences

we’re trying to engage,” she said. “I learned from the story, and I hope the people watching it will learn.”

Vilcsak hadn’t landed the role of Allison prior to her marathon movie sessions, but she knew that was the role she wanted to play.

“It’s the exact opposite of what I am. I’m very outgoing and sure of myself and confident, and she’s very closed off and unsure of herself,” she said. “It’s definitely different.”

Meanwhile, Grade 11 student Alexander Welling hadn’t seen the movie before he got the role of Andrew Clark, the group’s jock, but he had heard good things about it.

But when he sat down and watched it, he said he was surprised.

“It was interesting seeing how different stereotypes can connect together — that’s what really surprised me about it,” he said. “I can see why the movie has lived on for 30 years as a classic.”

Dyer said that ability to relate has resulted in the actors really rising to the challenge for this play.

“They have honestly committed to the characters, the events and the honesty of what John Hughes was trying to convey in his script,” he said.

SACHS also put on Hughes’s Pretty in Pink a few years ago, and while Dyer said there are a few similarities, the stories are very different.

“Pretty in Pink was more about relationships and how divisions stand in the way of the perpetuation of love,” she said. “(The Breakfast Club) is more about the idea of, in this microcosm of a high school, how divisions always seem

to occur. I think that might be the reality in our culture from 1985 to 2014 because successive generations of students have walked into this school knowing this film.”

While other high schools in St. Albert tend to put on musicals, Dyer tends to gravitate toward dramas, but that’s not simply to stand out from the pack.

“The most important thing is the craft and the art of acting,” she said.

That has been a bit of a challenge for Vilcsak, though, as she comes from a musical theatre background with the St. Albert Children’s Theatre.

“I’ve been doing musical theatre since I was six. That’s all I’ve known — singing, dancing, the big facial expressions,” she said. “So when I heard Mrs. Dyer just does strict plays, I was nervous. I was so nervous because I was like, ‘I don’t know how to do that.’ It’s so different, but I was up for it.”

Tickets for The Breakfast Club are $20 for adults and $12 for seniors and youth, with five-packs available for $75. Five dollars from each adult ticket sold will be donated to Youth Empowerment and Support Services in Edmonton.

Dyer said that donation is because the young characters in the play face struggles that many teens who turn to YESS also face.

“There’s a sense of not being heard, not being listened to that sometimes alienates and isolates you, which might perpetuate other issues in their life and have them end up in a place like YESS,” she said.

Tickets are available by visiting the front office at SACHS or by calling 780-459-7781.


Like an accomplished musician, Phil Alain is hoping for a brilliant encore performance.

Alain is the creative force behind Night of Artists, a three-night celebration of the arts that, after taking a one-year hiatus in 2012, will be back at the Enjoy Centre in St. Albert from March 7 to 9.

“We’ve got everything from printmakers to sculptors to oils to acrylic (paintings). It’s got it all,” Alain said.

The festival is also showcasing mediums like fashion and live music, and it’s all taking place in the Enjoy Centre’s Moonflower Room.

“I want to keep doing it (at the Enjoy Centre) every year. It just really highlights the art really well,” Alain said. “With the botanical feel of the greenhouse, it’s the perfect setting.”

The Friday evening gala will feature more than 500 pieces of art on display and on sale, along with performances by the Command Sisters and the Kelly Alanna Jazz Trio and artist Lewis Lavoie painting live. Saturday evening will feature two fashion shows — one featuring fashion from St. Albert merchants, and the other the work of designer Laura Dreger.

There will also be a silent auction of some art pieces to help create more opportunities for the arts community and get artists’ work out there

through creating shows throughout the year.While some artists have traveled from out of

the province, Alain said the idea of the festival is to keep things local.

“That definitely is the purpose of it. … It’s basically Edmonton and the surrounding area,” he said.

Lavoie and his Mural Mosaic team will also

have two works on display: King of Kings, for which they recently ran a successful Kickstarter campaign; and a mural depicting explorer Sir Alexander Mackenzie that was painted by students and staff at his namesake school in St. Albert.

St Albert Theatre Troupe presents a DRAMA

"Absorbing. Keeps us on the edge to its chilling conclusion"

You could say that Sage Jepson is dying to put on a great performance.

The 13-year-old St. Albert Children’s Theatre member is taking his talents to Festival Place in Sherwood Park this week for Elope Musical Theatre’s Western Canadian premiere of A Tale of Two Cities: The Musical, based on the classic 1859 Charles Dickens novel.

Jepson plays an unnamed young man whose death in the play spurs the main characters into action and helps spark the French Revolution.

“I was like, ‘Wow, I’ve never died in a show before. I want to do this; I want to die in a show!’” said Jepson, who attends Victoria School of the Arts in Edmonton, with a laugh.

Director Timothy J. Anderson said that, although Jepson’s time on stage is rather brief, he brings a much-needed spark to the play.

“He sings just long enough to go right to your heart, and then die,” Anderson said. “If you don’t have somebody as precociously talented as Sage in that part, then the scene dies. It just dies. So we’ve been really fortunate to have him.”

But dying has its challenges. At one

point, Jepson said he got a note from Anderson asking him to add lots of breaths and pauses to make his death more believable.

“I’ve never experienced almost dying before, so I’m using all my acting abilities and vocal abilities,” he said.

Anderson said Jepson and the rest of the cast are amazing, but there are little things that have to be worked on to increase the play’s believability.

“I’ve asked people to sing in ways that probably their singing teachers would hate, because I want us to feel like these are real people,” he said.

Anderson himself is an accomplished performer on stage, having been in numerous musical theatre and opera productions over the last three decades, including the original Canadian cast of Phantom of the Opera.

Moving behind the stage as a director, though, has allowed him to realize a vision that includes some non-traditional staging that tells the story in a different way.

“I probably should have been more afraid of this than I was,” he said. “But it seems like the perfect fit.”

And while he is confident in his work, he hopes it will be appreciated by the play’s award-winning author,

Jill Santoriello, who is flying in from New York for opening night tonight (Thursday).

“I’m hoping she’ll see things in her work she hadn’t seen before — that it will be a voyage of discovery for her as well,” Anderson said. “... Yes, there’s pressure, but it’s more excitement to see how she feels about what it does or doesn’t do for her work.”

Anderson is familiar with Dickens’s work, with his mother reading him and his siblings the classics when they came home from school for lunch.

But he feels adding music to the story helps move it along and allows characters to better connect with the audience.

“The music adds all the colour that Dickens’s long, expository narrative passages, his descriptive passages, have. You can’t put those on the stage. ... We’re trying to do that with the sound,” he said.

A Tale of Two Cities: The Musical opens tonight (Thursday) at Festival Place (100 Festival Way) in Sherwood Park and runs until Saturday, March 8. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. except for a matinée at 2 p.m. Sunday and no show on Monday. Tickets are $27.50 each, or $22.50 for students and seniors, plus fees and are available through Ticketmaster or the Festival Place box office at 780-449-3378.

When it comes to dropping his drawers, Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard says getting naked for his band’s “Anything” video was an easy choice.

“It had the potential to go in a very heartfelt ‘hands across America’ kind of way,” Hoggard said of the new track, which has become the fastest selling in the Vancouver pop band’s career.

“In the spirit of the concept of the song, we were like, ‘Hang on, f--k, this, let’s just do whatever the f--k we want. I think that would almost be the truest form of expressing the sentimentality of that song in video form.’”

So this was purely a selfish act?“Absolutely,” Hoggard said, with

a hearty chuckle. “I was naked for myself. And it just so happened to be caught on film. I’m a fan of naked people, just this mutual ‘Let’s put it out into the universe.’ What’s wrong with a little bit of flesh?”

We caught up with Hoggard, 29, as he relaxed barefoot in the sun on the front steps of his West Coast home with his trusty dog Charles Bronson at his side before Hedley set out for a cross-Canada tour during the worst winter ever.

“We’re just so thrilled with the way we’ve put together the show

and we’ve put a lot of thought into it ‘cause we’re huge, huge fans of live music,” said Hoggard, who added the band is playing more than half of Wild Life — the band’s fifth LP — in a set that will run over 90 minutes.

Hoggard: It could have gone two ways. It could have been really successful or it could have tanked and everyone could have said, ‘Well, yeah, that was when Jake started producing.’ So there was a lot of pressure, or at least I put it on myself.’ ... As far as making a spectacle out of my life as artist… Even if everybody hated it, I would still say, ‘Well, f--- you all, I love it.’ Don’t worry about it. It just really goes the extra mile as far as encouraging and enforcing in me that confidence to continue doing what I’m doing.

Hoggard: For me it’s kind of a shock every time. Just because I know we’ve been nominated before but I’m also aware that there’s a lot of pretty remarkable artists and musicians out there, some pretty notable talent that really deserve the recognition and I think for us to just be physically recognized and grouped into that talent pool is such an honour.

Hoggard: I think when you start off super early, the odds of being a normal person are very slim. And that’s just the industry, it doesn’t apply to particularly Justin’s own personal thing. I just think it’s really difficult for young kids before they even go through puberty, that enter into this sort of like superficial, unrealistic world

of stardom to kind of develop with any real grasp on life. And I think that’s maybe indicative of his behaviour now. But I’m also not very keen on using my brain power to psychoanalyze such trivial matters.

Hedley plays Rexall Place in Edmonton on April 4.

It’s not so much pressure to be different as it is an obligation to be innovative.

Late Night with Seth Meyers debuted Monday on NBC and CTV. With previous hosts David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon, Late Night has been the testing ground, the place where you try things that might seem wacky or different, but then subsequently they become genre staples (for example, Letterman’s Top Ten List).

“Yes,” Meyers agreed emphatically, even before I had completed the query.

So does Meyers feel an obligation?“I think you have to be innovative just

because there’s so much time to fill,” said Meyers, comparing Late Night to his previous life on the once-a-week Saturday Night Live, where he primarily was one of the anchors on Weekend Update. “I think that’s what brings it about.

“But just the other day we had our writers come in and the pitch was, ‘Everybody pitch me something you don’t think I’d ever do.’ Because this is the time slot (12:30 a.m.)

where you can, in the end, try those. And with three or four (pitches), I was like, ‘Uh, I’d do that.’ So it was a good way of going about it.

“Other than a few people I’ve known a long time, almost everybody we hired is a starting job. I feel like especially in the early days of these shows, you have to bring in people who don’t have too much experience doing another late-night show, because you want to build it together.”

Meyers takes over Late Night from Fallon, who last week graduated to The Tonight Show (NBC, CTV Two). Fallon’s Late Night was very music-oriented, and Meyers will not try to replicate that, the presence of his band leader and fellow SNL alumnus Fred Armisen notwithstanding.

Hilariously, though, with Fallon having moved The Tonight Show back to New York, it causes logistical problems for Meyers.

“(The Late Night studio is) next to SNL and directly above Jimmy (at 30 Rockefeller Plaza),” Meyers said. “It’s as tightly compact as you can imagine. We (Meyers and Fallon) cannot tape at the same time because of the Roots (Fallon’s house band). You cannot sound-proof the Roots. That should be on

their album cover.“It is amazing that television in this

technical age is limited by something like elevator logistics, which it truly is. We have to completely empty out (Fallon’s) audience before we bring ours in.”

Old-school elevators and inefficient sound-proofing notwithstanding, there also is something physical that automatically is going to remove some of Meyers’ inhibitions.

“I’m certainly happy that over the last eight years or so I’ve done standup, because the first time you start telling jokes standing up, you realize it’s very different,” Meyers said. “The hardest thing about Weekend Update is, you’re in a very small box (seated at a desk). There’s not a lot of room when a joke doesn’t land to do anything. You kind of just have to move on to the next joke.

“I think the best late-night hosts always have found a way to be entertaining when the joke isn’t an A-plus.”

Trust us. He won’t be staying classy.If you love Ron Burgundy, you’ll be

happy to hear that the scotch-loving newscaster and the rest of the news team are returning to theatres on Friday in an R-rated version of Anchorman 2.

The re-cut version of the hit comedy, which opened in December, features 763 new jokes that promises a “Bigger, Bolder, Burgundier” version of the film. It also opens up against Son of God. So the scene at the concession lines could be a little awkward.

“Start counting the days, America,” the official Ron Burgundy Twitter account reads. “You’re about to laugh your robust balls off.”

“We started talking and realized, we can replace every single joke in the movie with another joke,” director Adam McKay told the New York Times.

And a bonus for hardcore Burgundy fans — the new version will also run longer than the original’s one-hour and 59 minutes.

“This is a stitched-up, Frankenstein version,” McKay added. “You’ll either love it or hate it.”

McKay had so much extra footage on

the original Anchorman that he created a separate film for the DVD release, Wake Up, Ron Burgundy.

An alternate Anchorman 2 was teased back in October, with McKay telling Empire, “I think it would be really funny to put it in theatres for midnight showings. I know that I personally, if I loved a movie and someone told me that, like if Airplane! had been released with all-new jokes, I’d be like, ‘you’ve got to be f----ing kidding me!’ I’d see it in a second.”

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues: Super Sized R Rated Version opens Feb. 28.

Albertans washing down Canada’s Olympic hockey victory with an early-morning beer over the weekend may have witnessed the start of relaxed liquor laws for the province.

City cops in both Edmonton and Calgary saw no major incidents as a result of the hundreds of hockey fans packing local bars at 5 a.m. to see Canada defeat Sweden 3-0 on the ice in Sochi, Russia.

Finance Minister Doug Horner said Monday that the government will work with

the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) to review the Gaming and Liquor Act over the next year as the feedback will “help them make informed decisions about any similar future requests.”

“I know thousands of Albertans truly enjoyed the opportunity to gather in their local pubs, bars and restaurants to watch Canada win gold,” said Horner.

“Because this opportunity was so unprecedented, the AGLC is going to take the time to talk to its partners — including law enforcement, licensees and municipalities — to see how this unique event went.”

Edmonton Police Service Insp. Chad Tawfik said the special serving hours for Sunday’s game brought out “respectful and polite” patrons. The reasonable behaviour has Minister of Justice and Solicitor General Jonathan Denis as well as Labour Minister Thomas Lukaszuk gathering feedback on Alberta’s liquor laws over social media.

“Do you think that this weekend’s change in alcohol sale regulations is evidence that we should be less restrictive all the time? Should we question the ‘wisdom’ of closing all bars in the province at the same time of the night?” asked Lukaszuk on Facebook and Twitter.

Denis credited Premier Alison Redford — who was with Denis at Calgary’s The Garage Sports Bar to watch the game — for the one-time loosening of the province’s drinking laws before surveying his own Facebook friends.

“I’ve often felt we should look at having a later ‘last call’,” said Denis, noting the blanket closing time for bars in Alberta often leaves people rushing to find a taxi at 2 a.m.

The last major overhaul of Alberta’s liquor laws was in 2008 when the government eliminated cheap drink specials, stopped establishments from hosting ‘happy hours’ after 8 p.m. and limited last-call drink orders.

Bruce Krahn knows that the time he spends pumping iron is time well spent.

But he also recognizes that what he does when he’s away from the gym ultimately determines his fitness level.

“You might exercise five hours a week,” the celebrity trainer from Mississauga, Ont., says over dinner at a downtown Edmonton restaurant. “But it’s those other hours — the other 100-plus hours — where you can do so much damage.”

There are 168 hours in a week, to be exact.Subtract five one-hour workouts and that

leaves 163 critical hours.Most crucial in all those hours, Krahn

says, is the time spent eating.“Nutrition is the main thing and it’s the

thing that people struggle with the most,” he explains.

“It’s so easy to eat a massive amount of calories and it’s so difficult to burn them off.”

The 45-year-old Canadian fitness guru — whose list of high-profile clients includes Nelly Furtado, Criss Angel, Tom Cochrane and Trish Stratus — notes that exercise doesn’t burn as many calories as people might think.

“You may burn off 300 calories in a really good workout,” he explains. “But then you can eat pizza and that’s negated pretty quickly.”

And, of course, not all calories are created equal.

“Every action has an opposite and equal reaction,” says the bestselling author of The Fat Fighter Diet. “The action of eating foods imparts the reaction of hormonal response. Some calories are much better for losing body fat than other calories.”

But Krahn, a trainer since 1995, is of the belief that calorie balance reigns supreme.

“You can’t outrun the laws of

thermodynamics — the law of calorie balance,” he notes. “But underneath that umbrella, there’s other things that matter, too. As long as you’re in a calorie deficit, you should be losing weight. But if you’re eating crappy foods that elicit a high blood-sugar response, you may not. Or it will stall out very quickly.”

That’s where working out comes in.

“Exercise improves insulin sensitivity,” he explains.

“Exercise — when you lift weights, in particular — improves the way your body utilizes the hormone insulin. This is really important. One of the most overlooked factors of fat loss is blood-sugar management. When you lift weights, you manage your blood sugar better.”

Krahn points out that he makes all of his clients lift weights, no matter what their age or gender.

The only difference between his male and female clients is that the men train to failure (the point of momentary muscular failure during an exercise).

“That makes a big difference in terms of whether or not you’ll gain more muscle,” he advises. “For a guy that wants to get bigger, he has to train to failure.”

Krahn, who divides his time between training clients, writing and speaking, cites a study that suggests training to failure is more important than the actual amount of weight used.

Along with that, Krahn is a stickler for proper tempo and keeping the weights under full control.

“A lot of guys and girls you watch in the gym, they fling the weights around like they’re having a seizure,” he says. “When you experiment with tempo and you start to focus on more controlled concentric and eccentric muscle contractions to really increase the time under tension, you’ll build up more lactic acid. When you increase lactic acid, your body produces more lactate. Lactate increases growth hormone and growth hormone’s excellent for muscle growth and fat loss.”

All good advice.But Krahn, founder of online personal

training and nutrition company eBodi.com, is the first to admit that the “basic tenets of body transformation” he espouses aren’t new.

“Truth is constant. It’s like gravity. It’s always there. Truth never changes,” he says. “It’s just the way the physiology works. The body works a certain way.”

Nor are the basic fitness tenets a big secret.

“There are no secrets in the world,” Krahn adds. “It’s all there. It’s about doing it. That’s the hard part.”

Taking a daily multivitamin can help decrease the risk of cataracts for men, a study published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology found.

The researchers conducted the double-blind study on 14,641 male doctors, all aged over 50, from 1997 to 2011. Half were given a multivitamin, and half a placebo.

The men were followed to track development of cataracts (the clouding of the eye’s lens) and age-related macular degeneration (deterioration of the ability to see fine detail).

Researchers found a nine per cent decrease in the risk of developing a cataract in the men who took a multivitamin.

“If multivitamins really do reduce the risk of cataract,

even by a modest 10 per cent, this rather small reduction would nonetheless have a large public health impact,” said lead researcher William Christen of Harvard Medical School.

There were slightly more cases of macular degeneration in the men who took multivitamins, but the researchers said it wasn’t statistically significant and more research is needed.

Two months of stronger in�ation in Canada has made the central bank feel a “little more comfortable,” Bank of Canada chief Stephen Poloz said on Saturday, signaling that he may feel less pressure to cut interest rates to deal with disin�ation.

Poloz also told Reuters the value of the Canadian dollar will remain a challenge for manufacturers and exporters even as the U.S. economy recovers, because higher prices for commodities that Canada exports would prop up the currency.

Speaking before a meeting of �nance ministers and central bank chiefs from the Group of 20 leading economies in Sydney, Australia, Poloz said data on Friday showing the in�ation rate rose to an 18-month high of 1.5 per cent in January from 1.2 per cent in December indicated the surprisingly low prices seen in 2013 may have been just “noise.”

“In your heart, you’re hoping that

some of it is noise and that other bits of noise will o�set it, and in the wash you �nd that the underlying in�ation rate isn’t falling really rapidly,” Poloz said.

“So in that sense it’s reassuring. It’s helping us to feel a little more comfortable.”

Still, Poloz said there was nothing in the data to make the bank rethink its forecast that in�ation will hover at around one percent in the �rst half of 2014 before returning to the two per cent target in about two years.

Poloz, 58, took over as central bank chief last June. In October he oversaw a major policy shi� because of growing worries about disin�ation, saying policymakers were puzzled by the trend. �e central bank abandoned 18 months of talking about eventual interest rate hikes and adopted what it called a neutral stance.

In January, Poloz said he was even more worried by disin�ation and le� the door open to a rate cut. In�ation

has been below the central bank’s target for 21 months.

Most economists expect the bank to hold its main interest rate at the current one per cent until 2015, when it will begin raising rates. Traders are still pricing in a small chance of a rate cut later this year, although they scaled back those bets a�er the in�ation data.

Poloz endorsed e�orts by some G20 members gathered in Sydney to set higher global growth goals, but said it should be seen as aspirational rather than a hard target.

�e provincial government launched a new $421,000 website on Friday that provides businesses, statisticians and economists with faster access to economic information in Alberta.

�e government says Alberta’s new economic dashboard is the �rst of its kind in Canada to provide open-source economic data on 26 indicators including unemployment rate, population growth, wholesale trade and housing starts.

Making the announcement at local entrepreneurial hub Startup Edmonton, deputy premier and Minister of Innovation and Advanced Education Dave Hancock said businesses across Alberta need more timely access to economic information.

“Businesspeople today need information they can access on the go, in a quick and user-friendly format,” Hancock said. “�ey don’t have time to search various reports, statistics and websites to �nd the information they need to make decisions.

“�is is a new, interactive way to monitor the pulse of Alberta,” he said.

�e economic dashboard shows Alberta is leading Canada in terms of population growth, average weekly earnings, vehicle sales, employment

opportunities and retail trade but also shows Alberta ranks sixth in the nation for farm cash receipts, seventh in wholesale trade, and dead last for employment insurance.

It also shows year-over-year economic indicators such as a 6.5 per cent increase in active drilling rigs to a total of 392, a 1.5 per cent increase in

business incorporations to 4,118, and a 20.4 per cent increase in housing starts to 2,559 as of December 2013.

�e dashboard has been in development for 18 months and cost the government $421,000 to create. It replaces the “di�cult to navigate” 20-page Monthly Economic Review report the government used to issue to roughly

200 subscribers.Todd Hirsch, chief economist for

ATB Financial, praised the dashboard and said it will “be well-received by the business community” as it brings together the most current statistics and saves user time.

But Canadian Federation of Independent Business Alberta Director Richard Truscott called the website “window dressing” and said it doesn’t address the need for tax relief and less red tape for small businesses.

“It’s a nice tool for economists but for the average business owner, it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans, quite frankly,” he said.

Startup Edmonton CEO Ken Bautista said entrepreneurs need relevant, open data in a setting that gives the statistics real-world context.

“It will help companies growing here to paint a picture for attracting talent and investment from outside Alberta,” he said.

“We get asked all the time why should someone put their company here in Edmonton versus Vancouver and Toronto and this way, we can speak to some of these data points that are now available in an open format.”

�e dashboard is available online and on mobile devices at economicdashboard.albertacanada.com.

The expertise of entrepreneurs and small business leaders comes from all corners of life. Whether boutique retail, a professional service such as accounting or psychology, land development, or a technology startup, you will find self-starters across all sectors of the economy. It’s no surprise that, regardless of industry, entrepreneurs have much in common.

Passion, hard work, and the indefinable “entrepreneurial spirit” may be a few of the more familiar terms you hear tossed around to describe small business owners. But let’s focus in on something different: Creative thinking.

Maybe you call it resourcefulness, ingenuity or thinking outside the box. It’s something that can start your business, keep you in business, and grow your business.

Many businesses begin as a creative solution to a problem — oftentimes, a problem that could only be spotted with some outside-the-box thinking. After a lot of hard work and a little luck, a creative idea can become a full-fledged business.

Running a business doesn’t necessarily mean running a booming business, however. Attracting customers, keeping them, and turning a profit from those sales is about more than just inventory, markup, and

numerical analysis — although those could certainly be factors that would benefit from a creative re-think. How can you package products together? How are you upselling?

Marketing is one aspect of business that is changing most rapidly. Traditional marketing avenues, such as paid advertising, still play a prominent

role in many business strategies. However, the addition of

social media platforms, the algorithms for

gaining clicks on those platforms, and the ever-changing rules of SEO demand a creative mindset. In a

saturated marketplace, where every company

already has a Facebook page and a Twitter account, a

creative campaign will be one of the only ways for a company to stand out.

Being creative doesn’t have to stop in the CEO’s office. More and more businesses are making time for brainstorming sessions in the workplace, extending the opportunity for creativity to their employees. They say that two heads are better than one — there must be an advantage, then, to encouraging creative thinking among five, 10, or 50 employees. By creating a space where people won’t feel silly suggesting ideas out of left field, you may hit a home run.

Pirates beware.In a landmark decision, the Federal Court

has signalled that Canadians who illegally download movies can no longer hide behind the anonymity of their IP address.

Ontario Internet service provider TekSavvy Solutions was ordered Thursday to provide the names and addresses of 2,000 subscribers alleged to have used BitTorrent to download movies copyrighted by Voltage Pictures, maker of such Hollywood films as The Hurt Locker and Dallas Buyers Club.

Voltage says it plans to use the contact information to sue the 2,000 users for “the unauthorized copying and distribution” of its movies. The decision could set a precedent for other companies to go after Canadians who pirate music and TV shows as well.

“Any movie that comes out is illegally downloaded 40,000 times a week in Ontario, let alone the rest of the world. It’s huge,” said lawyer James Zibarras, who represented Voltage Pictures. “Now, going forward the message is that you’re rolling the dice if you download illegally. You might show up in a

court proceeding.”Zibarras hopes the ruling will reverse the

trend set by a 2006 court of appeal decision that prevented BMG from getting access to the identities of people illegally sharing their copyrighted music. “That sent the message to the public that there was a green light to download whatever they wanted to. Downloading increased exponentially.”

It’s easy to argue that such sharing of copyrighted material is illegal and unfair. But is this legal fight really about valid anti-piracy concerns or a bid to extort money from easy pawns? David Fewer, director of Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), suspects it’s the latter.

In the U.S., it’s known as copyright trolling where companies send out threatening letters to suspected downloaders to shake them down for thousands of dollars in exchange for settling copyright lawsuits out of court. And when they do go to litigation, the damage awards have been startling — in 2012, a Virginia man was ordered to pay $1.5 million to an adult entertainment company for sharing 10 of their movies on BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing program.
