Photog earns medal for U.S. Army work
GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
While he’s used to lugging around cameras and hard drives, Dave Bowering is set to bring home a different piece of hardware.
Next week, Bowering — a St. Albert photographer and documentary filmmaker — is set to receive the Knight of the Order of St. Michael medal from the Army Aviation Association of America during the 101st Airborne Combat Aviation Brigade’s annual ball at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
The medal recognizes Bowering’s work documenting the lives of the men and women of the 101st Airborne Charley Company 6-101, a MEDEVAC unit, over three trips to Afghanistan since 2010, and it’s something that hasn’t quite sunk in yet.
“It’s a pretty huge honour. I’m not sure I can fathom the whole thing right now,” he said.
Civilians are eligible to receive the award, although it is rare. Bowering has been doing some of his own research, too, and he’s fairly sure it’s never been awarded to a Canadian before, nor to a photojournalist.
The medal is a testament, though, to the bond that he was able to build with the soldiers of the unit, which was evident in an interview he did with one of the platoon captains at Forward Operating Base Shank.
“On most deployments, nobody really wants the embed around because you have to spend so much time babysitting them,” said Capt. John Keutmann, a pilot and first platoon leader with Charley Company, in an interview for the documentary. “Most of the time I felt Dave was babysitting us.”
Bowering also built relationships with the soldiers’ families, maintaining a blog during his travels that was followed religiously by
some of them.“They would send me care packages. Their
son would get a little box, and here’s a bigger box,” he said, adding that another family gave him a quilt with some of his photos incorporated into it.
Part of that camaraderie was because Bowering wasn’t afraid to put his cameras down and lend a hand when needed.
“I know I would look back into the cabin and see Dave working every bit as hard as the medic and crew chief, quite often without a camera in hand,” said pilot CW2 Justin Horton. “I know this was costly to him but
greatly appreciated by the crews.”
“When it comes down to a human’s life — a soldier or an insurgent — there’s a time for a picture and a time for compassion,” Bowering said. “If you need that extra set of hands, they’re always here;
just say something. It got to the point where they didn’t have to; I just knew when there was a need.”
After taking a few months to recoup after his last journey, Bowering’s latest trip to Afghanistan occurred earlier this year, giving him the chance to fly home with members of Charley Company and give him the perfect ending to his documentary.
“To walk into that hangar with all those soldiers, with their families waiting, was amazing. … It was tremendously emotional for everybody there, and amazing to watch.”
Right now, Bowering is busy cutting together video footage for his documentary, for which he’s still looking for a home.
But he’s already been asked to go back to Afghanistan with another unit, although he’s not sure he wants to.
“I just find that recouping takes a while. It’s really hard. … It’s pretty hard to beat what I just did.”

Singers lend voices to flood relief effortGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
A number of local singers are lending their voices to the flood relief effort in southern Alberta.
The St. Albert Youth Musical Association, St. Albert Singers Guild and members of Acting Out Musical Theatre are teaming up for a benefit concert on Sunday, July 28, at the St. Albert United Church, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the Red Cross and their relief efforts in Calgary, High River and the rest of southern Alberta.
“Watching TV, I said to myself, I think I have a way to help,” said SAYMA and Singers Guild artistic director Criselda Mireau.
“You hear about these kinds of efforts by arts groups all the time, doing these relief concerts, and I thought, that I can do!” she added.
Although Mireau said that she doesn’t have any family in the areas affected by the flood, Verla Carter, the general manager for the SAYMA and the Singers Guild, lived in High River for a few years.
“For her, it was quite devastating to watch what was happening in that area, in
particular because she spent some years raising her children there, so it was quite a deep connection,” Mireau said. “Plus I think a lot of us up north come from the south, so somebody always has a connection.”
For the concert, the choirs will be mainly using the same songs that they performed at their recent spring concerts.
“Everybody will be singing stuff that they’re familiar and that, for the most part, audiences are going to love,” Mireau said.
But Mireau is throwing one new song into the mix: “Lean On Me,” first recorded by Bill Withers in 1972, which she said was “perfect” for the occasion, and is a song she is confident can be learned quickly.
“We’ve already put all the music up on our website — I make rehearsal CDs for all the people in their voice part — so all the choirs can access that immediately and access that on their own,” Mireau said. “And then we’re going to meet about an hour and a half or two hours prior to the concert that Sunday and run it all, make sure we’re all happy.”
The flood relief concert takes place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 28, at the St. Albert United Church (20 Green Grove Dr.). Tickets are $15 each and are available by calling 780-418-4184.

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
If, as Mr. Rogers says, one should look for the helpers during times of crisis, then one need not look any further than St. Albert for some of those helping as the cleanup continues after flooding in southern Alberta last month.
Several St. Albertans have made their way to Calgary, High River and other points south to help their fellow Albertans clean up after torrential rains swelled rivers and caused them to overflow their banks into streets and homes.
One of the first to go down was Cpl. Laurel Kading of the St. Albert RCMP detachment. Kading was a member of the media liaison team at the RCMP’s Southern Alberta District Emergency Operations Centre, keeping media and the public updated on the situation.
“To some degree, it was really quite nice being part of a team that had gotten up, left our homes and our families, and went down and did the work that had to be done,” Kading said Monday, back in St. Albert. “You felt like maybe you were helping people, making a bit of a difference.”
Kading and fellow St. Albert member Const. Janice Schoepp were both tapped for their media relations expertise, but Kading said she wanted to go anyway.
“People have to go and help; that’s part of what we do,” she said. “I think that’s why there wasn’t really an issue in getting people to go. That’s why you join this kind of organization, to help.”
Meanwhile, Michelle Reid and her family took a couple of days out of their vacation to the Calgary Stampede to hop on a shuttle and help out in High River this week.
While she does have some family friends in High River, it was seeing some of the damage on social media platforms like Instagram that ultimately convinced her to lend a hand.
“This is in my own backyard; I don’t think I’ve ever seen this sort of devastation in my own backyard,” said Reid, who runs 9Likes Social Media. “I also wanted to impress upon my kids about looking for opportunities to volunteer with them. We were like, we’re only going to be an hour from the area — let’s do it.”
Reid’s nine-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son joined her in helping in High River, where they knocked on doors to see what services people had in their houses — like electricity, water or natural gas — and what they needed.
“The first couple of houses, it felt like I needed to go into a corner and cry for a minute and get over it,” Reid said. “They’ve all got a smile on their face, but you can see how tired they are, and you can see some of them are hanging on by a thread.”
Given that they were only going for a couple of days, Reid worried that it might be troublesome for the Red Cross to get them organized. But she said everything was running like a well-oiled machine.
“It was like, if they have it this organized, then volunteering for a couple of days is certainly doable,” she said.
Through it all, though, both were impressed with the fighting spirits of the people of southern Alberta, which Reid said was summed up by a Rosie the Riveter lunchbox proclaiming “We Can Do It!” in the
window of one home she came across.“There’s definitely humour, with
neighbours chit-chatting in their front yards,” she said. “A few people said it was the whole idyllic element of bringing the community together and meeting neighbours you might not necessarily know very well.”
“You have to have a pretty positive outlook in life when you’ve pretty much lost everything,” Kading added. “Most people, they had lots of questions, and once they got answers, it was like, ‘OK, let’s get on with things.’”

YC still hunting for new homeGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
A week after receiving an eviction notice from their landlords, the St. Albert Youth Community Centre isn’t much closer to finding a new home.
Treasurer Bruce Childs said Tuesday that the youth centre’s board has been looking hard, but nothing suitable has come up yet.
“We’ve got a couple of spaces we’re looking at, but it’s a bit early yet to say we’ve got anything finalized,” he said. “We’re looking at a few spaces that we hope will work out, but nothing concrete at this point.”
The youth centre received the eviction notice from the owners of Grandin Park Plaza, Vancouver-based developers Amacon, last week, giving them until July 31 to move out of the space they had occupied for the past 14 years.
Amacon had intended to charge the youth centre $33,000 for repairs to a leaky roof, which the centre refused to pay after reviewing their lease and finding they were not responsible for repairs to structural defects. That refusal prompted Amacon to issue the eviction notice.
A call to Amacon seeking comment on Friday was not returned.
Youth centre executive director Brenda O’Neill said that the kids who use the space were “shocked” at the news.
“They were shocked and confused — like, ‘Now what?’” O’Neill said. “They weren’t angry. They weren’t even thinking of solutions. They were just kind of shocked.”
While Childs has been busy heading the committee to find a new space, he said they do have a few specific needs that have narrowed the spaces they can look at.
“We need a space that’s handy for the kids to come to. Space in Riel [Business Park] or Campbell doesn’t work for us because it’s just too far for the kids to go,” he said.
The St. Albert Salvation Army has opened up its facilities for some Friday night activities, and O’Neill said the centre is aiming to offer services a little further north.
“It’s a great space for us to be in — they have a large gym, they have a big kitchen, and it’s better located to those north and northwest communities,” she said.
“What the kids need is that space
where they know you are there no matter what,” she added.
Overall, Childs said the response from the community since the news broke has been very positive.
“It’s pretty supportive. There have been a number of comments posted on Facebook and so on from citizens who are concerned,” he said.
However, he said, there hasn’t been much communication with the City of St. Albert.
“We got an email from the mayor saying he wasn’t aware of any space, but he’d keep it in mind,” Childs said. “We haven’t got any real assistance at this point.”
It’s been a rough year for the SAYCC. Last August, they threatened to close their doors for good after the City pulled money that would have gone to programming and reallocated it to youth development programs under the City’s Family and Community Support Services department. Since then, they have reduced their staff by two full-time equivalents, and had renegotiated their lease with Amacon, a month-to-month lease that led to their eviction.
The centre is still asking anyone with any ideas for a new location to contact Childs at 780-418-2480.

Market gets title sponsorGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
The St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce is betting that a farmers’ market by any other name will smell just as fresh.
The Chamber announced on Wednesday that local land development company Landrex has secured the title sponsorship to Western Canada’s largest outdoor farmers’ market, officially making it the “St. Albert Farmers’ Market presented by Landrex.”
“We were certainly aware of the opportunity that would exist to have someone take on that role relative to the market, and we’re really happy that it turned out to be Landrex,” said Chamber president and CEO Lynda Moffat. “I think there’s going to be a great relationship here.”
Meanwhile, Landrex vice-president of business development Kyle Reiling said that the sponsorship emphasizes and strengthens the company’s bonds in the community.
“Our headquarters are in St. Albert, and we’ve been developing in St. Albert for over 35 years, and we always want to do things for the community,” he said. “The farmers’
market defines St. Albert, so it was really important, when the opportunity arose, for us to become essentially the presenting authority of the farmers’ market. It was a no-brainer for us.”
Landrex has a lot of projects on the go right now, including the development of the new Costco site on the north side of St. Albert.
While there is value in the name recognition and association with
the market, Reiling added that there are other benefits as well.
“It’s also the support of the Chamber of Commerce and
we appreciate what they do on behalf of business, so us being a partner
on this is just an excellent opportunity,” he said.
Moffat said that the St. Albert market is always competing with other markets in the area, and the Landrex sponsorship will help it stand out.
“Now that we have Landrex as the presenting authority, I think we’re going to see [the market get] a little bit spiffier,” she said. “We’re certainly getting new umbrellas in the food court, and we’ll see a few things perk up a little bit. … It just means that you’re working in collaboration with others, and you have the same goal.”
30th Anniversary
8 Thursday, July 11, 2013
It has now been approximately five weeks since I made the difficult
and important decision to resign from the Conservative caucus to sit as an Independent MP in the House of Commons. It has certainly been an eventful time! Following intense media interest, I have received some interesting offers. There are several confirmed speaking engagements on the topic of democratic deficits in Canada and also a possible book deal on the same topic. There has also been speculative talk concerning starting a new political party or even reviving a moribund one.
Although flattering, I have less interest in a fledging political party than I have in contributing to a meaningful and thoughtful discussion regarding the state of
democracy in Canada. The imbalance of power between the executive and legislative branches of government and a weakened legislature’s tendency to represent the government to their constituents, rather than their constituents to the government, top the list of democratic deficits in Canada.
Through it all, I’ve been overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of support from St. Albertans. During Canada Day celebrations or when I walk through the Farmers’ Market, dozens of constituents approach me and offer words of support and congratulations
for what they describe as a “principled decision.” This is in addition to the hundreds of phone calls and social media comments and thousands of emails, overwhelmingly supportive of my decision.
We do, however, receive questions as to what this decision means for local constituents. From a local constituency viewpoint, very little changes. The riding office at #220, 20 Perron St. remains open and fully staffed. From Employment Insurance denials to the status of visa applications, our professional staff exist to assist constituents navigate the bureaucratic maze that is the federal government.
More will change for constituents at the national, legislative level. Freed from the shackles of a whip and party leadership, I have been liberated
to vote on legislative proposals based on the merits of the proposal and how it would affect Edmonton, St. Albert and Alberta rather than pursuant to the wishes of the national party leadership. I am also now able to ask during Question Period unscripted, unvetted questions of cabinet ministers regarding matters of concern to the constituents I represent.
I will use this unique opportunity to hold government to account. Respect for taxpayers, a return to balanced budgets, limiting the scope and size of government and promoting open and transparent government will all be featured in my attempt to hold government to account.
It continues to be an honour and a privilege to represent St. Albert and northwest Edmonton.
Still an honour, privilege to serve as MP
Patio potential still untapped
After a rain-soaked month of June, July has been much kinder here in St. Albert, with temperatures
consistently in the mid- to high 20s — hot, but not too hot.
It’s days like this that are best capped off by frosty cold beverages outside on a patio somewhere. But unless that somewhere is on a patio on a restaurant’s private property or in your own backyard, it’s not likely to happen.
Look around downtown St. Albert on any given summer evening, and while the restaurants may be busy, they could be a lot busier if it was easier to set up tables and chairs on city sidewalks, giving the whole area a more European, “al fresco” feel that could draw more people in.
Sounds great, you may be thinking, but can it be done? Yes, it can, and we need not look as far as Europe for an example. In fact, we only need look as far as our neighbours to the south.
The City of Edmonton once had rigid rules governing patios on city sidewalks — so rigid, in fact, that many downtown business owners made no bones about showing their displeasure. But municipal officials have listened, and over the past year, new streamlined regulations have been instituted, and restaurants who were caught up in red tape last year now have bigger sidewalk cafés than they had ever hoped for.
Could the same sort of streamlined rules be instituted here in St. Albert? Absolutely they could, so long as the political will is there, as well as the restaurants willing to take advantage of them. Such changes might have to be part of a bigger project, one that might entail narrowing the roadways on Perron Street and other downtown streets in order to make more space on the sidewalks, but it’s a move that could do wonders to re-energize an area that has been long maligned for its inability to attract people after 6 p.m.
It’s a move that could be just as refreshing as a cold beverage on a hot day.

Iginla signs with BruinsWES GILBERTSONSun Media News Services
Jarome Iginla is joining the Boston Bruins.You’ve probably heard that one before. This time,
it’s true.About three months after picking the Pittsburgh
Penguins over Beantown just before the trade deadline, the longtime Calgary Flames captain and St. Albert native signed a one-year deal with the Bruins on the opening day of free agency Friday.
Take it from Aaron Ward, the TSN analyst who was widely criticized after reporting Iginla-to-Boston was a done deal during a wild and wacky night at the Saddledome in late March.
“Like I said, Jarome Iginla to the Boston Bruins #TSN #ThisTimeForReal” Ward wrote on Twitter.
Iginla, 36, and the Bruins agreed to an incentive-laden deal with a salary-cap hit of US$6 million. The right-winger will reportedly receive a $1.8-million base salary, a $3.7-million bonus after skating in 10 regular-season games and could collect $500,000 more in performance incentives.
The Bruins were anxious to add Iginla prior to the trade deadline, but Calgary’s all-time scoring leader — armed with a no-trade clause — instead opted to
join Sidney Crosby and Co. in the Steel City.A couple of hours after Ward first reported he was
off to Boston, Iginla was traded to the Penguins for forwards Kenny Agostino and Ben Hanowski and a first-round selection that was cashed in on Calgary-raised winger Morgan Klimchuk.
Prior to the Eastern Conference final series between the Penguins and Bruins, Iginla insisted his
decision wasn’t a slight against the Bruins.“I was fortunate that, when I submitted the group of teams, that Boston and
the Penguins were serious about trying to acquire me,” Iginla said.
“It wasn’t a matter of me saying yes and then no, it was just a matter of actually, between the two, wanting to come to the Penguins.”
The Bruins won that series, by the way, with Iginla blanked on the
scoresheet, managing just five shots and saddled with a minus-5 rating.
The longtime Saddledome fan-favourite finished his stint in Pittsburgh —
strapped for cash after signing key contributors Pascal Dupuis, Chris Kunitz and Kris Letang to lucrative extensions — with five goals and six assists in 13 regular-season outings. He had four tallies and eight helpers in 15 playoff tilts.
More importantly, he still doesn’t have a Stanley Cup ring.
He’ll continue that quest in Boston.

Blogger in magazine’s list of provincial Twitter elite
GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader
One St. Albertan has landed among the most influential Twitter users in the province, according to Alberta Venture magazine.
David Climenhaga — whose Twitter handle is @djclimenhaga — is one of 15 users of the social media platform named to Alberta Venture’s list of “Twitterati,” the best in the province at keeping the conversation going in under 140 characters.
Climenhaga said the mention came as quite the surprise, given that he doesn’t tweet as much as some others on the list.
“People talking about it as if it were a great honour, but I don’t think it’s comparable to winning a Nobel Prize,” said Climenhaga, who recently announced that he would be running for a spot on St. Albert city council this October. “Nevertheless, it was
nice to be recognized.”Climenhaga thinks the
honour may speak more to the popularity of his Alberta Diary blog (albertadiary.ca), which he has been writing for the past five years and often promotes through his tweets.
“It’s become quite an influential voice for a certain point of view … it’s been really rewarding in the emotional sense, where a lot of people know who I am and say, ‘Oh, I read your blog and I really enjoy it,’” he said.
Alberta Diary was attracting more than 55,000 visitors every month during the 2012 provincial election campaign, but that number has dropped off some since.
The Twitterati list was devised by Alberta Venture by taking each Twitter user’s Klout score, multiplying by their number of followers, then dividing by 1,000.
Klout is a service that measures
a person’s influence online, taking into account the topics they talk about, what social media platforms they use, and how other people react.
“I view [Twitter] as the anti-social media. Really, 140 characters makes it really easy to be insulting or to be rude, but it doesn’t make it easy to be nuanced or make intelligent comments on what people are saying,” Climenhaga said.
Others on Alberta Venture’s Twitterati list included:
• Stephen Carter (@carter_AB);• Dave Cournoyer
(@davecournoyer);• Dana DiTomaso
(@damaditomaso);• Brittany LeBlanc (@britl); • Mack D. Male (@mastermaq);• Calgary Mayor Naheed
Nenshi (@nenshi);• Aaron Paquette
(@aaronpaquette); and• Kathleen Smith
(@kikkiplanet).
“They’re an interesting and rather disparate group of characters,” said Climenhaga, the only entrant on the list from St. Albert.
“Dave Cournoyer and I work in the same office,” he added, “so we know each other quite well and talk about what we’re writing to one another.”

Bunz and Ewanyk, who both hail from St. Albert, were two of 36 players at the Edmonton Oilers development camp, which took place from July 3 to 9 at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park, showcasing some of the most promising players in the team’s farm system.
But, even with new head coach Dallas Eakins and the familiar face of Craig MacTavish back in the fold as the Oilers’ GM, Bunz said the atmosphere around camp
was pretty similar to previous years.
“Nothing’s really changed,” said goaltender Bunz, who has attended the camp each year since being drafted by the Oilers in 2010. “Obviously they want a winning team. I’ve seen three different coaches since I’ve been here, and the identity of what they want is sort of similar, but at the same time, it’s a lot different. You just gotta go with it, do what the coach says.”
But, he added, he has felt more and more comfortable each year, and hoped he could be looked upon as a leader in the locker room this year.
“Every year, you feel more comfortable with yourself at this camp. You get used to the media and the fans coming out; you know what to expect,” Bunz said.
For Ewanyk, a centre, this is his third year at the development camp, but pulling on an Oilers sweater is still a bit surreal for him.
“Every time I throw it on, it’s a dream come true,” said the 20-year-old who has played the past four seasons with the Edmonton Oil Kings in the Western Hockey League. “I still get butterflies every time.”
Both players worked hard to hone their crafts at camp, as Bunz worked extensively with goaltending coach Frederic Chabot while Ewanyk stayed after others had left the ice to work
with coaches on his faceoffs.“If you can be the master in one
of those things, that can punch your ticket,” Ewanyk said.
As for new crop of players at camp this year — including seventh-overall draft pick Darnell Nurse and skilled forward Marco Roy — both were impressed.
“They’re great kids; they can skate and play,” Ewanyk said. “I’m rooming with Marco, and he’s got a great skill set on him. He’s a great kid.”
“You never know what to expect, especially with guys you’ve never played with before ... but everyone works hard on and off the ice. Everyone’s a professional,” Bunz added.
Ewanyk still has one more year of WHL eligibility left, but he’s aiming higher this year, hoping
to catch on with either the Oilers’ ECHL affiliate in Stockton, Calif., or their AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City rather than head back to junior.
“My goal is definitely to play pro next year. I think I’m ready to take that step,” he said. “I’m going to continue to improve myself throughout the summer.”
Meanwhile, Bunz — who admitted he had a “brutal” year in Stockton — wants to become a fixture between the pipes in Oklahoma City.
“To play in the NHL, you’ve got to be at the top of your game, and last year, I wasn’t,” he said. “I want to develop and pick the right pace — you don’t want to rush it; that’s when you get ruined. I want to be a top goalie in the AHL, and I hope I can start that next year.”

Senior drivers more dangerous, says U of A doc
Cops warn after overpass incidentsANGELIQUE RODRIGUESSun Media News Services
He who throws stones gets charged, say Edmonton cops, warning drivers to look up when driving under overpasses.
Edmonton police are investigating a claim that an unidentified person dropped a rock from the 112 Avenue overpass onto a truck driving along Wayne Gretzky Drive Monday morning.
The male driver of the truck — who was not injured in the incident — phoned the police after the rock hit the rear of his vehicle.
“From what we understand it hit the back of his truck,” said Clair Seyler, EPS spokeswoman.
“We don’t have a description, and no one was found in the area after police arrived on scene.”
Cops are investigating the dangerous act and are urging Edmontonians to be vigilant while driving near or under overpasses or bridges.
“We advise motorists to look not only around their vehicle, but also up,” she said Monday.
“Be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.”The city has already lost one life to such a crime,
said Seyler, recalling the 2002 case of a school bus
driver killed when two teenagers threw a rock over an overpass.
Robert Stanley, 75, was killed on June 1 of that year when a basketball-sized rock was dropped from a bridge over the Whitemud.
Both teens — who cannot be identified — were charged with manslaughter and received six-months house arrest each and 18 months’ probation.
And in April, police received several calls about a man — believed to be a transient — throwing stones and bricks at cars travelling on River Valley Road, on the James MacDonald Bridge, and on Connors Road.
But police say it’s unlikely the man is connected to this recent incident.
“We do not believe at this time the two are linked,” said Seyler. “But further investigation will confirm.”
Seyler says police take this kind of threat to motorists seriously and are urging anyone who thinks tossing a rock off a bridge is no big deal to reconsider.
“We have lost life in Edmonton from someone doing just that,” she said.
“It’s very deadly — whether it hits the car or the car swerves, you could kill a child, you could kill an entire family.”

To some aging seniors who hope to continue driving, Dr. Louis Francescutti is the bad guy.
He’s had patients insist they are OK to drive as long as they are with their partner or spouse because they act like their eyes and ears, while others develop dementia or Alzheimer’s disease that slowly creeps up without them realizing.
Whatever the scenario, Francescutti said taking away someone’s ability to drive is never an easy job, especially when it comes to those who live in rural areas and depend on a vehicle to get by.
“You want to try and make it as objective as possible. There are certain situations, however, it’s a no brainer,” said Francescutti, an emergency physician and University of Alberta professor with the school of public health.
“I’m not saying just because you’re old you can’t drive, but the majority of the old folks really shouldn’t be driving.”
According to statistics recently released by Alberta Transportation, there are 1,831 men and 1,157 women in Alberta that are 90 years and older who have their Class 5 driver’s licence.
A further 18 men and two women 90 years and older have both their Class 5 and 6 licences, the latter of which allows them to operate a motorcycle or moped. Last February, the oldest driver registered in Alberta was 103.
In order to help doctors determine whether an elderly patient is fit to drive, the Canadian Medical Association has released a guide on driver fitness.
Once a driver hits age 75 in Alberta, they have to undergo a medical and get a form from
their doctor, recommending renewal of their licence. After the age 80, it becomes a bi-annual process.
The medical test looks at key areas such as vision, hearing, cognitive abilities and overall health. A road test may be recommended by the doctor or Alberta Transportation to help further determine a senior’s ability to drive safely.
During his years as a physician, Francescutti has heard some horror stories when it comes to seniors behind the wheel. He remembers an elderly woman came in from out of town and crashed at an intersection.
Her family said there were no traffic lights where she lives, so he should cut her some slack.
“I told them I am going to have to report
her, they are going to have to take the licence away. Then all of a sudden I become the bad guy,” said Francescutti, who believes it’s time to start introducing graduated licencing for seniors that would place limitations on driving at certain times on certain roads.
On a per mile driven basis, he said older drivers are more dangerous than young drivers.
“If we’re going to take their licence away then we better be prepared as a society to offer alternative ways to get around. It’s a conversation we really should be having now as the baby boomers start getting older.”
Complaints regarding drivers who are at risk to the public can be reported to the province’s driver and fitness monitoring branch. The registrar has the authority to require a driver to submit a medical or physical examination and may place conditions or restrictions on a licence or suspend driving privileges if there is grounds to believe that the person is a safety risk to himself or the public.
“There are certain situations, however, it’s a no-brainer.”

Troops leave for AfghanistanSUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Another 20 Edmonton-based soldiers departed Monday from Edmonton International Airport as part of the last deployment of Canadian troops to Afghanistan.
The flight, which left about 8 a.m., was slated to pick up an additional 30 soldiers from CFB Shilo in Manitoba via the Winnipeg International Airport, before reaching its final destination in Afghanistan.
A mixed task force of 700 soldiers, including 500 from Land Force Western Area’s major garrisons in
Edmonton and Shilo, will be the final deployment on Operation Attention, the NATO-led training mission of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).
The national security forces of Afghanistan include the Afghan National Army, the Afghan Air Force, and the Afghan National Police.
Deputy Commander of Canada’s contribution to the operation, Col. Lee Hammond, said earlier this month that he has absolute confidence in the ANSF’s ability to defend their people
from the Taliban after Canadian troops leave the country by about March of 2014.
Since the training mission began in 2011, Canada’s troops have helped train and grow the ANSF into a armed force of over 330,000 personnel, including 180,000 soldiers and another 150,000 police.
Canadian Forces do not believe Afghanistan will again be thrust into its pre-2001 state of Sharia law when 90% of the nation was controlled by al-Qaida.
• A mixed task force of 700 soldiers, including 500 from Land Force Western Area’s major garrisons in Edmonton and Shilo will be the final deployment on Operation ATTENTION, the NATO-led training mission of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).

They make the violent outlaws of Sons of Anarchy look, well, tame.
“They” being the skyscraper-sized creatures that stomp, pulverize and squash whatever gets in their way in Pacific Rim, opening Friday.
Standing against them, among others, is Charlie Hunnam, out of his biker jacket on the popular FX series and into a sci-fi suit of armour.
“I’m a really physical guy and I like physical stuff but I’d never been in a situation where I questioned how I was going to make it through,” says the 33-year-old British actor. “It was really, really intense.”
Directed by fanboy favourite Guillermo del Toro, the loud, brash Pacific Rim has been described as a cross between Transformers and Godzilla. And there is a definite tip of the hat to such classic Japanese monster movie characters as Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra.
Known as Kaiju, the movie’s massive prehistoric-looking antagonists were created to attack and destroy the world’s coastal cities to make way for a full-on alien takeover. Humanity countered by creating an equally ferocious group of robots called Jaegers, each controlled by two pilots located in the head of the machine.
For his role as Raleigh Becket — a once-cocky Jaeger pilot left mentally scarred after one particularly bad brawl with a Kaiju — Hunnam spent many 14-hour days on an oversized elliptical machine wearing a 25-pound armoured costume.
“I really hurt my back,” he says. “I ruptured a couple of my discs doing scenes in the helmet of the robot. The elliptical machine stuff was hard enough but I had this f---ing suit of armour that weighs a lot with 250 gallons of water pouring down on me. I was in there for 27 days, so it was intensely difficult.”
What wasn’t difficult was getting the part.
Del Toro says he was a fan of Hunnam’s work in Nicholas Nickleby and Children of Men and wanted to work with the actor since considering him for a role in 2008’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
According to Hunnam, he wasn’t physically right for the role of the underworld prince in the film. (“They’d already hired the girl to play the Princess of
the Underworld and I didn’t look enough like her, and they kind of wanted identical twins,” he explains.) But del Toro was impressed enough to keep in touch.
“I like him very much,” says del Toro. “I think he’s an actor with a lot of fresh frankness and good nature and a pure heart. When I met him he was like a big kid and I said we would work together one day.”
When it came to casting Pacific Rim, del Toro says his conversation with producers at Legendary Pictures was very short.
“They said, ‘Who do you see as Raleigh Becket?’ “ he recalls.
“I said, ‘Charlie Hunnam.’ And they were like, ‘Charlie’s cool.’ That was it.”
Hunnam remembers del Toro’s enthusiasm about the project.
“He was like, ‘Man, it’s going to be so epic, man. There’s going to be robots and monsters and you’re going to be in the head of these robots and kick the monster’s ass,’” he says.
“He just offered it to me there and then. It was the biggest opportunity I’d ever been given. It’s ironic it took the least amount of work to get it.”
Although Hunnam enjoyed working on his first big-budget adventure, he says he’s not particularly
interested in returning to the genre.“I’m very much a student of crime,” he
explains. “I grew up with a father who was a career-long criminal and so that’s always what’s fascinated me. That’s my bread and butter, the world of drama and crime. But that’s the wonderful thing about acting. I get to do things that are completely different.”
Hunnam says if Pacific Rim is the summer blockbuster it promises to be, he would consider doing a sequel if del Toro asks him.
But for now, he’s content working on Sons of Anarchy and trying to get his script about the much-maligned 15th-century Hungarian prince, Vlad III, made into a movie.
He’s also focusing on another project about gypsy culture in England, which he hopes to direct.
But Hunnam has no plans to quit acting quite yet. He says he feels he still has a long way to go before he’s consistently happy with his quality of performances.
“It’s a work in progress,” he admits. “But variety is the spice of life and I’ve never felt like an actor for hire. I feel more like a collaborator and my part of it right now is acting.”

Jimmy Eat World go indie for new CDJANE STEVENSONSun Media News Services
Jimmy Eat World are back with their first album in three years, Damage, and the first single, “I Will Steal You Back.”
But this one is an independent release from the Phoenix-based group, which left Interscope following 2010’s Invented.
Frontman Jim Adkins, who’s married with three sons, says it was a no-brainer.
“I think what makes a difference is people being excited about putting out your record,” Adkins explains. “Not to demean people at the Interscope-Univeral family. There was definitely people that got what we did. And were working their ass off to help us and see our records just have the opportunity to reach as many people as possible. But it’s a big place.”
We caught up with Adkins recently before a string of Canadian summer tour dates.
Why leave Interscope for Dine Alone Records in Canada - and Sony for the rest of the world?
Adkins: The ever-dwindling record company is forced to have people multi-task a lot of the times and they’re trying to find ways to streamline things and that means a higher
workload and not really a whole lot of time to devote to each project. And you might not care for some of the stuff that comes across your desk that you have to help. And when you have lots and lots of that happening, all the time, it’s tough. You’re competing with U2 and Gwen Stefani and Eminem or Dre, big-selling artists that make a lot of money. It’s hard to compete for resources with that.
Why sign with an indie in Canada?
Adkins: Dine Alone’s great just cause they’re really excited about working with us. It’s cool. It’s good spot to be. We’re happy. Just the enthusiasm and their track record.
Did you feel less pressure making Damage?
Adkins: We have certain expectations that we want to reach on our own. Being successful in helping the song be the best it can be for the type of song that it is. And trying to serve that for when you’re recording and performing and documenting that. The approach you take to how something sounds. It’s all a very zen balance of paying attention to the most minute detail and then trying to ignore that the process is even happening.
I read that you were trying to write love songs from a very adult perspective on this album?
Adkins: Going into writing material for this record, I thought it would be nice to have some sort of grounding theme, some sort of starting point that could I could route everything around. So just as a basic starting point, I decided I’d pick love song as a place to go. But the kind of love songs that interest me are definitely ones that deal with adversity and heartbreak. There’s more of a story there. I don’t find it all that interesting to be happy. It’s great for you, but it’s not engaging really. There’s a lot more complexity in the grey area between someone’s perceived idea of a moral high ground and the other person’s perceived idea of just doing what they feel they have to do.
Damage is a fairly loaded word. Why name the album that?
Adkins: Well, yeah it’s emotional injury. It’s just a big mess, really. I think the adult aspect of it all vs. the young aspect of it all, when you’re older it is more about perceptions than it is who’s right and who’s wrong. Even though you might feel injured, your role in that is something that you may or may not be giving enough credit.

Health Benefits of a Gluten-Free DietGluten-free diets and products have exploded over the
past few years, and Christine Naidu thinks she knowswhy.Naidu, the manager and community relations co-
ordinator at Amaranth Whole Food Market in the EnjoyCentre, said that awareness plays a big role, but alsothat the amount of gluten in foods has also exploded,prompting many to cut it out of their diets completely.“Lots of foods now, where they have grains that
contain gluten, some ofthem contain a higher levelof gluten than they everhave in the past,” Naidusaid. “The loaf of breadyour grandma bought fromthe bakery a few decadesago is different than thebread you get now.”Of course, some of the
people who are turning togluten-free products arethose with celiac disease,an immune reaction tothe protein gluten in thesmall intestine that blocksthe absorption of nutrients essential to good health, likecarbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The CanadianCeliac Association estimates that one in every 133Canadians are afflicted with the disease.But others are turning to gluten-free diets simply for
the health benefits.“Some people are finding that their stomach does
not feel good after they have that pizza or that piece ofbread, and a lot of it is because the level of gluten in theflour is much higher than in the past,” Naidu said.She added that, to help remember the most common
grains that contain gluten, just remember the word“BROW”: barley, rye, oats, wheat.“Oats itself does not contain gluten,” Naidu explained,
“but what happens is, quite often, it’s processed in aplant where there’s a high level of cross-contamination,because other grains are processed in the same mill oron the same manufacturing floor.”Sticking to a gluten-free diet can be tricky, though,
because it can be hidden in places where you wouldn’texpect it — soy saucesor barbecue sauces, forexample — or listed underdifferent names like barleymalt, farina, semolina orgraham.“A good source for
customers to double-checkis the Health Canadawebsite — they have asection there on foodand labelling,” she said.“They will give you thesneaky names for glutenderivatives.”However, Naidu
suggests alternative grains like kamut, millet, amaranth,quinoa and lentils to avoid gluten but still get necessarynutrients.Many of those grains are available at Amaranth Whole
Foods Market, along with a wide variety of other gluten-free products — some of which are actually quite tasty,like the frozen lemon tarts, butter tarts and pie shellsfrom Molly B’s.“Gluten-free products have really come a long way,”
she said. “There are fantastic recipes available now forgluten-free breads and baking.”

Domestic cats purr at about 26 cycles per second, the same frequency as an idling diesel engine. They start purring at one week old and purr both when
inhaling and when exhaling. Young cats purr in monotone but older cats purr in two to three resonant notes. Purring means contentment. (didyouknow.org)

After finishing her master’s degree, Anne-Christine Bordreau travelled to South America to take a break before launching her career. While there, she applied for a position north of the 60th parallel, landed a job as a recruitment co-ordinator after an interview via Skype and found herself in Yellowknife, N.W.T., on a five-month trial contract.
Three years later, the 27-year-old is the acting executive director of Conseil de développement économique des Territoires du Nord-Ouest, a non-profit organization that promotes, stimulates and supports economic development and employability of the N.W.T.’s francophones and francophiles.
Bordreau enjoys living in the city that boasts the sunniest summer in Canada and appreciates the auroras, the life-work balance, people and opportunities for career advancement.
“Affordability is definitely a challenge but with the salaries and tax credits, it becomes easier to tackle,” she says.
The government of the N.W.T. is eager to attract job seekers like Bordreau through its “Come Make Your Mark” campaign (www.comemakeyourmark.ca). At the National Job Fair and Training Expo in Toronto in April, it partnered with about 50 businesses seeking to fill jobs in mining, hospitality, transportation, consulting, aviation, oil and gas, and health care.
“In the N.W.T., you can accelerate your career beyond your expectations,” says business and trade officer Alexandrea Malakoe. “What takes years in Toronto to accomplish will take a lot less time in the N.W.T. Further, we have the highest paid workers in Canada with good employment opportunities. The average household income is $130,000 and
the N.W.T. weekly earnings are 28 per cent higher compared to the rest of Canada.”
At any given time there are about 800 public and private sector jobs up for grabs. In the public sector, a good portion of those jobs are in health care and education, while the private sector has a huge demand for mining technicians and engineers, says Malakoe.
The N.W.T. exports billions of dollars in diamonds and oil annually and is home to three diamond producing mines, with a fourth set to open soon. A devolution of
lands and resource management agreement between the federal government and the N.W.T. will lead to the creation of 400+ government jobs there.
Quebec native Dominik Langford now calls Hay River home. The 29-year-old is a teacher at a small French elementary school and decided to “get out
of my comfort zone” and join friends who also made the trek north. “The northern landscape, the aurora borealis, contacts with aboriginal people (piqued) my curiosity,” he says.
His biggest challenge has been to improve his proficiency in English. He also found the lack of sun in the winter a challenge but quickly adapted and was joined by his mother, who also wanted to experience northern Canada. “Life is peaceful here,” Langford says. He has enjoyed “incredible experiences,” such as ice fishing, snowmobiling, taking part in a trapping camp and hunting lynx. “Here you push your limits, you adapt to changes and you inevitably grow.”
SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Canadians are paying less for texting, calling and other mobile phone services, but we’re still paying high prices for high-speed Internet compared to other countries, according to research commissioned by the CRTC and Industry Canada.
Wall Communications’ annual study compares prices in Canada, the U.K., France, Australia, Japan and the U.S. and found prices for a “typical basket” of mobile phone services in Canada are down 13 per cent from last year. The decrease is less pronounced for packages that include data, such as Internet browsing, but still down five per cent.
The cost of typical Internet service declined about six per cent — but only for Internet with advertised download speeds of up to 15 Mbps (megabits per second). That’s enough to download files and load web pages quickly but probably not enough for video streaming or carrying out multiple functions on multiple devices.
For download speeds above 15 Mbps, Canadians pay more than consumers in every other country in the study, with the exception of the U.S.

DAWN KLINGENSMITHSun Media News Services
Many career advisers warn that in today’s oversaturated job market, filling out an online application and waiting with fingers crossed to hear back is tantamount to hurling your resumé into a black hole.
“Our organization recommends a phone call to the hiring manager before you send in your resumé,” says Jay Hofmeister, co-founder of The Resumé Bay and the Columbus, Ohio-based recruiting firm JEM Consulting Services.
Don’t count on your resumé to speak for itself.
Follow-up is essential if you want to make an impression.
Is it possible that a forceful job-search strategy makes the candidate appear pushy, overeager or off-putting?
Taken to the extreme, yes. Even in a fiercely competitive job market, it is possible to come on too strong.
“The advice I always give my clients is to be persistent, but don’t be a pest,” says Haverford, Pa.-based career coach Ford R. Myers, author of Get the Job You Want Even When No One’s Hiring.
“Employers can lose interest in an applicant for many reasons. One of those reasons is that the candidate came across as too aggressive.”
Typically, jobseekers don’t make enough noise, says career coach Marky Charleen Stein, president of Women’s Career Solutions in Los Gatos, Calif., and author of Fearless Resumés.
“Most job seekers fear that following up more than once is coming on too strong,” she says.
“They’re wrong. The only way that job seekers, in my opinion, are crossing the line is when the employer, hiring manager or administrative assistant specifically asks them not to call again.”
Don’t call or e-mail more than three times a week.
“With each follow-up call, ask when you can call back or propose a time to call back,” she says.
While Stein says employers will tell you when to back off, Myers says this isn’t always the case. They might just wad up your resumé and keep putting you off until they fill the position.
So he and other career advisers offer clues to help you determine whether you’re being too pushy.
You might be seen as overly aggressive if:• You ignore or try to circumvent protocol.
If the job posting says not to call, don’t.Allow for a sufficient period of time for
the hiring manager to review resumés before e-mailing again.
• You show up more than 10 minutes early for an interview. That’s an imposition on the hiring manager’s time schedule.
• You over-sell yourself or talk too much during an interview.
“You should be asking questions, not just waxing poetic about what you’ve done and how great you are,” says Julie Greenberg, co-founder of San Francisco-based Jobnob.com.
• You overemphasize your availability.• You hound internal contacts you have in
the organization.• You send more than a succinct thank you
note after an interview.“Some applicants send flowers or candy.
This is not a date — it’s a job,” says human resources consultant Alice Waagen of Workforce Learning in Herndon, Va.
• You follow up too soon or too often. At the end of an interview, “don’t settle for ‘We’ll let you know’ or similar comments that place you in a passive position. Assume a more active role, and get a commitment from the employer for what comes next,” Myers says.
• You can’t take the hint. If you’ve left messages and e-mails and don’t get a response, that’s either a strong indication you’ve been rejected or that the hiring manager is “a poor manager lacking basic skills,” Waagen says.
