Russell wants back on city councilGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

One of St. Albert’s most experienced politicians is looking to get back in the game.

A realtor by trade, Bob Russell has served three terms on city council, run for mayor once, led the Alberta Liberal Party in the 1970s and even ran in the 1984 federal election.

Now, Russell wants back on city council, announcing on Tuesday that he would put his name on the ballot for the 2013 municipal election next month.

“There are a lot of issues there — certainly enough to keep me busy,” he said.

Aside from his forays into politics, Russell is a member of the Villeneuve Airport Task Force, the St. Albert and District Garden Club, the St. Albert Historical Society and the Big Lake Environmental Support Society. He has also been actively involved in junior A hockey in Alberta, and was a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal.

Russell last ran for St. Albert city council in 2007, finishing 11th out of 13 candidates with 5,069 votes, about 900 short of election.

“A lot of people that I know in town have been telling me for four or five months that I should think of running this time,” he said. “They expected there might be some openings in council, and they thought somebody with my experience should get on there and deal with [some of the] issues.”

Russell’s main focus in running for council once again is to bring back the Municipal Planning Commission and to create a long-term plan for St. Albert’s growth.

“That’s something I understand, municipal planning,” he said. “The mayor says it works better without [the MPC] — no, I think it works better with it. In the school site trading that went between Eldorado Park and North Ridge, the MPC would have said, ‘Where’s the traffic impact

assessment?’ That would have never got past the MPC without that being done.”

Russell also wants to take a hard look at utility rates in St. Albert.

“In the last couple of years, mine went up 23.4 per cent,” Russell said. “Those are charges for the different sizes of pipe that you have

— nothing to do with consumption whatsoever. That’s something I think we have to look at. Where in the heck is all that money going?”

In his platform, Russell is also advocating the institution of zero-based budgeting at the City of St. Albert, and a one-year freeze on administrative hiring while a complete review of staff functions is carried out with the help of an internal auditor.

“Administrative positions have far outgrown our percentage of increase in population,” he said. “How do I know? I went back and got copies of the internal directory and staff and started measuring what the heck’s been happening. My gosh, they’re adding people on the administrative side. I suspect that has a lot to do with our increases in taxes.”

Russell is a keen follower of civic politics, and he said the current council is lacking in at least one area.

“I don’t sense that they have a team spirit there,” he said.

Russell’s website should be up and running soon at www.bobrussell.ca.

Council voted Monday to approve a policy that

formalizes the support and role of the City of St. Albert in recognizing outstanding

philanthropy in the city through the annual St. Albert

Philanthropy Award.

City administration updated councillors Monday night on

progress made in areas of their Continuous Improvement

Program for 2013, including grant processes, public

engagement and website rationalization. Council voted to receive the report as information.


Administration presented Monday a local action

plan for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, a goal that was set out in the Environmental Master Plan that was passed

in 2009.

“Every council comes in and wants to have ... ways of being more efficient and a wiser use of taxpayers’ dollars.”

— Len Bracko

Many of the initiatives outlined in the action plan will be carried

out internally over the course of 2014, and are

not anticipated to require additional budget funds.

The policy will be used going forward in

handing out the St. Albert Philanthropy Award,

which typically occurs each November.

Many of these projects will be completed in early 2014, including a new City

website by March 31.


“By formalizing the involvement of the City in this community initiative, we are assisting in ensuring that outstanding philanthropy is encouraged and celebrated.”

– Anna Royer, business manager, community and

protective services

“The short-term items are really looking at getting our own house in order, really tracking better, and getting more information to our facility managers.”

— Leah Kongsrude,environmental manager

Mayor Nolan Crouse put forward a motion Monday to “assess the implications” of the closure of the St. Albert Youth Community Centre in July and see if any City

policies or programs should be developed as a result.

“I don’t think the questions I’m asking are easily answered. But I do believe the answers should be thought about, and I don’t think we — the big ‘we’: council, administration, the youth themselves — have answered this.”

– Mayor Nolan Crouse

The report from administration and

any subsequent recommendations are due

back before council by March 31, 2014.

“This is a pretty open-ended, philosophical motion ... We should also be open to the idea that there is not a large role for youth development with the City.”

– Cam MacKay

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce is hoping the City of St. Albert can find its way to restore tourist information services to its building at the south end of the city.

Representatives of the Chamber were at the regular St. Albert city council meeting on Monday asking for the City to move the tourist information brochures currently located at St. Albert Place back to their office at 71 St. Albert Tr., and possibly add a few more services.

“We have hundreds of travellers, and residents, coming into our offices now, looking for things to do and wanting to have

their questions answered,” said Chamber president and CEO Lynda Moffat. “... They seem to be confused and disappointed that they have no place to go, and they are not interested in just picking up brochures.”

Moffat added that the Chamber would be looking for about $40,000 a year to take over the services, plus material costs, but that amount was certainly negotiable. She said the Chamber would hire a full-time student during the summer months to cover the duties, as well as part-time students and volunteers the rest of the year.

Councillors, though, did not take any action or make any motions on the matter, though, much to Moffat’s disappointment.

The City’s business and tourism development department used to administer tourist information services out

of the Chamber’s building when they shared the space near the Superstore location on St. Albert Trail.

However, when the department moved into a new building on Sir Winston Churchill Avenue earlier this year, the City opted to move the tourist brochures to St. Albert Place.

That has led to frustration for tourists, who have difficulty parking downtown, and for Chamber staff, who are being pulled away from their regular duties.

Former Chamber volunteer

chair Joe Becigneul said he was in the Chamber office one day recently and counted eight tourists come in looking for information in the span of just 20 minutes, many of whom left frustrated.

“Why are we making it so complicated for visitors to get tourism information?” Becigneul asked. “Tourists spend money. If they leave with a happy feeling, they tell people. And if they leave with a sense of bewilderment and an unhappy feeling, they tell more people.”

However, city manager Patrick Draper told council that, since the move, the number of brochures being distributed has increased 50 per cent.

“We are certainly distributing a significantly higher proportion of brochures than in the previous location,” he said, adding that some City staff on the main f loor of St. Albert Place and some St. Albert Public

Library staff have been helping out when needed.

A second location for brochures is being contemplated for Servus Credit Union Place.


Roger Lemieux said his goodbyes to the rest of St. Albert city council this week.

Although the current council will meet one more time next week, Monday’s regular meeting was the last for Lemieux, wrapping up two terms representing the people of St. Albert in council chambers.

“Having served as a councillor, I am a better person,” Lemieux said. “I hope I have given as much as I have received. I’ve learned a lot, and I say goodbye with

an empty heart, but with a lot of pride.”Lemieux announced in late July

that he would not be seeking re-election, citing work issues and family commitments, including the imminent birth of his 12th grandchild.

“I consider you friends forever,” he said to his council colleagues, “and I will remember these chambers with affection.”

Other councillors were effusive in their praise for Lemieux.

“One thing you brought to chambers was consistency. You picked your spot when something was important or wasn’t important,” Mayor Nolan

Crouse said. “I thought you were always balanced — with staff, with common sense, with the public and others — and with that balance came professionalism.”

“We’ll be missing you, but I’m sure your future endeavours will provide you great happiness,” added Cathy Heron.

As for the upcoming election, Lemieux said that, although he’s not running, he’ll be keeping a close eye on the race, and he implored voters to exercise their democratic rights.

“If I was running again, I’ll tell you right now, that would be No. 1 on my platform,” he said. “Get out and vote.”

Lemieux bids fond adieu to council colleagues

“Why are we making it so complicated

for visitors?”Joe Becigneul

Today marks the season opener for the second year of

St. Albert’s successful Cash Mob phenomenon.

If you don’t know what a Cash Mob is, the best way to learn is to join me: Meet the Mob outside of Jack’s Burger Shack on Perron Street at 7 p.m., bring $20 to spend at the chosen locally owned Mob business, meet some of your community members and have some fun!

I read about the phenomenon of cash mobs in a magazine last year and decided that, with the community-minded atmosphere in St. Albert, it would be a perfect spot to start a cash mob. The first one last September had 55 people join us, and

we didn’t look back. We averaged 70 mobbers at each of the nine mobbed businesses and averaged nearly $2,200 in sales per hour for those businesses.

Some business owners have described being chosen as winning the lottery. However, a cash mob does not a successful business make, nor does it guarantee that the mentality of shopping locally is at the forefront of people’s mind when push comes to shove. We have seen one of our mobbed stores close the doors to its

retail operation this year, opting instead to focus on online sales. I wonder, do we only care about shopping locally once per month?

Google “why should I shop locally?” and you will see endless statistics and descriptions about the economic and environmental reasons that shopping locally should not simply be “fashionable,” but is a necessity.

Non-profit organizations receive 250 per cent more support from small businesses than large businesses. Ask the St. Albert 50+ Club, the Zebra Child Protection Centre, Pilgrim’s Hospice and Kids Kottage about the $225,000 they have received in the past three years from the

initiatives of Leading Edge Physiotherapy and the RunWild Marathon, and this statistic becomes personal for me. Because people entrust their care, day in and day out, to me and my colleagues, we have the fortune to be able to give back in this way.

A lovely quote describes the importance of unique small businesses making up the quilt of a community, so that in living and shopping locally, one gets a “sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” Join me in a quest to consciously shop in St. Albert first and to do your retail, your service work, your health care and more at locally owned small businesses and you will find St. Albert is not just “anyplace.”

Shopping local more than once a month

Don’t drive tourists awayRight now, the only information

St. Albert has to offer tourists comes in the form of a few brochures that

are situated in the lobby of St. Albert Place. It’s not much, but it’s something.

Still, it could be so much more, and that’s what the St. Albert Chamber of Commerce was trying to convince St. Albert city council of on Monday afternoon.

Chamber officials were before council on Monday to ask the City of St. Albert to move the tourism information services — such as they are — back to the Chamber’s offices at the south entrance to the city along St. Albert Trail, which is where they were before the City’s business and tourism development department moved to a new building downtown earlier this year.

This request makes a whole lot of sense, which made it that much more of a shame when councillors didn’t take any action on it. The Chamber building is the first building that a lot of people see when they come into the city, and there is still a large map there. It’s only logical for visitors to expect to find more information there, and when they can’t and are told to head downtown — where parking an RV or a travel trailer is cumbersome — they might be tempted to just skip St. Albert altogether.

The only hangup here is the cost. The Chamber wants $40,000 a year from the City to administer tourist information services in its building, as well as some staffing requirements, although they have indicated that could be negotiable. While it might seem like a lot of money, especially in a time when tax dollars are being watched like hawks, it should be viewed more like an investment. Once a few visitors stop and check out what St. Albert has to offer, rather than just rolling on through the city, that investment will pay for itself in short order.

Maybe the timing of the Chamber’s request wasn’t right, with this council winding down its term. But it’s certainly a matter that would be well worth the new council picking up once its term begins later this year.

Kinderland looking to repeat successGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

After a successful first run earlier this year, the Kinderland Market is hoping to repeat its success this weekend.

The massive sale of new and used children’s items takes over a portion of Servus Credit Union Place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and organizer Zoe Spaans said she hopes its timed perfectly for back-to-school shopping.

“Once the rush of back-to-school settles down and people are back from their holidays in the summer, it’s a good time to get the sale out there,” she said. “Hopefully people will bring old Halloween costumes and give people plenty of options to get some used stuff at a good rate just before the Halloween and Christmas seasons.”

The first Kinderland Market took place in April, and Spaans said it went better than she could have hoped.

“I think we were close to 650 moms that came out in the end,”

she said. “It was a huge turnout, and we had a lot of happy customers and a lot of happy vendors in the end.”

This time around, Spaans is hoping for the same sort of turnout, and to help achieve that goal, she has added the Kinder Korral, which is an area for smaller vendors to sell handmade or homemade items like soap, jewelry, chocolate, candles and giftware.

“We’ve had really good signup and feedback from it,” Spaans said. “It’s a nice little shopping area for people that are interested in that type of stuff. It’s not just baby stuff; there’s lots of things for moms.”

The market will also feature a number of local vendors, like Born 2 Create, Baby Mama Naturals and Kreller’s Creations.

Spaans said she wants the emphasis on local vendors to keep growing along with the market.

“When I’m coming up with the market, organizing it, sitting down and saying, ‘What

is the big picture? How do I want it to look?’ I want at least 50 to 75 per cent of my vendors to be local,” she said. “So when I get those application forms coming in, I’m watching all the time, and sometimes people get waitlisted because they’re not local.”

Making a return appearance at the September market, though, are Swag Bags, which are stuffed with coupons and goodies from vendors and other advertisers.

“If you’re looking for gifts or other ideas, or if you’ve got something you want to purchase in the market, they’re a really good way to get a good discount,” Spaans said.

Only 500 Swag Bags will be handed out at the market, so patrons are encouraged to come early to pick one up.

There will also be a door prize draw for a two-night stay at the Delta Lodge in Kananaskis.

Admission to Kinderland Market is $5 per adult. For more information, check out www.kinderlandmarket.com.

John Goldsmith is getting out of the starting blocks in the race for St. Albert city council.

Goldsmith — who, among other community volunteer positions, has served as a track-and-field official at a national level — announced last week that he would be vying for one of the six seats on council in next month’s municipal election.

“I’ve talked to a lot of people over the last two or three years, and I think it’s time I tried to do something for them as best I can,” Goldsmith said. “I think it’s very important to listen to the citizenry and try and answer their angst.”

Goldsmith has lived in St. Albert for almost 25 years now, having moved to Alberta from Ontario to pursue opportunities in the manufacturing industry. Since moving, Goldsmith has not only served as a track official, but also served on the boards of several community organizations,

including the Edmonton Counselling Centre, and as president of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.

He said he seriously considered running for council in 2010, but health and family issues prevented him from throwing his hat in the ring.

Now, though, Goldsmith is able to commit to a campaign, and feels his experience in the private sector and in the community would be a big asset on council, especially his expertise in decision-making processes.

“We can take a little more time to do a thorough job of looking at the options and consulting with people in the community, getting as much information from them as possible,” he said.

In fact, he added, getting the public more involved in council decisions is one of the highest priorities of his platform.

Goldsmith said he has followed city council closely over the last term, both through print media and watching meetings on Shaw Cable, and has seen a few things he’d like to change.

“I think it’s time that council actually led,” he said. “With the leaders and where we’re going and what we want to do, [council needs to] set the policies in place, and administration should be accountable for delivering.”

Other platform points on which Goldsmith hopes to take the lead include offsite levies and franchise fees, community safety, and what he calls “affordable living.”

“There’s been a lot of talk about affordable housing, but I would term it more about ‘affordable living,’ which takes in a little more than just the house,” he

said. “There’s a cost to run [a house], and what you need to do to start up in a house and the process to get there.”

Goldsmith also is not a fan of the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan as it

currently stands, and favours the return of the Municipal Planning Commission as St. Albert’s population continues to grow.

“It’s just been little pieces built here, built there, so on and so forth,” he said. “I think we need a real concrete, solid future plan. All decisions and activities we take on should be

aiming toward that design, whatever that looks like.”

Goldsmith is also advocating for stewardship of Big Lake and the Sturgeon River, for more funding from provincial and federal governments, for a “realistic” business and economic development strategy and for a review of curbside solid waste pickup.

“I think it’s time I tried to do something.”John Goldsmith

Though she has only lived in St. Albert for 10 months, Hughena Burke loves the city so much that she wants a spot on city council.

Burke, who just moved to the city last November, announced last week that she is putting her name on the ballot for the upcoming municipal election on Monday, Oct. 21, a decision that was sealed after seeing that the City of St. Albert’s candidate information sessions earlier this year had suffered from low turnout.

“It’s been a desire of mine to run for a while ... so I went, ‘Hmmm, why not? Here’s my chance to get into municipal politics,’” Burke said.

“I love St. Albert; I think it’s a great community with a lot of good things,” she added. “I want to partake in that, in making decisions to make it a better place.”

While she is a new resident of St. Albert, Burke is no stranger to the city, having lived in the Capital Region for more than three decades

now.For 10 years, she worked at the

Alberta Legislature, with stints in several different ministries, including municipal affairs, family and social services, infrastructure, transportation and finance.

“That’s where I got interested in politics,” Burke said.

Burke has also served as president of the Community Day Nursery Society in Edmonton, and is an ambassador for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. She also used to perform as a Patsy Cline impersonator at local charity fundraisers.

She has been following the current council closely, watching meetings online, and said she would like to see more emphasis

put on economic development and building up the non-residential tax base.

“Maybe we could get more head offices here, because that’s a beautiful industrial park over in Campbell,” Burke said.

As a mother and a grandmother, Burke is also appreciative of the efforts of past councils to build the Red Willow Trail system and to promote community safety so she has peace of mind while walking on those trails.

But she also wants to keep an eye on St. Albert’s future.

“What’s it going to be like for my granddaughter and my daughter? ... Where are we going to be in 20 to 25 years, as a community?” she said.

That includes making sure there are adequate programs for youth.

“We have a lot of sports here, but what about the ones who aren’t sports-minded?” Burke said.

Burke also identified affordable housing for seniors and public transportation as issues on her radar for the campaign.

“I’m trying to see where the cracks are,” she said.

Horner floats pension changesMATT DYKSTRASun Media News Services

The provincial government is proposing changes to public-sector pensions aiming to curb the $7.4-billion unfunded liability faced by Alberta’s four major plans.

“We have more people retiring than we have contributing to these plans,” Finance Minister Doug Horner stressed Monday.

Right now, the four plans have unfunded liabilities of over $7.4 billion despite assets totalling $35 billion, leaving taxpayers on the hook for $2.7 billion of the unfunded liability.

Horner said the province is seeking to end early-retirement incentives and roll back cost-of-living adjustments by Jan. 1, 2016, while leaving current pensioners’ plans untouched.

“We recognize there’s no crisis today, but it’s the long-term sustainability that we need to address in these plans,” Horner said, adding consultations on the changes will take place with stakeholders, unions, and the over 200,000 active plan members.

Leaders of the Alberta Colleges and Institutes Faculties Association, Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, Canadian Union of Public Employees, Health Sciences Association of Alberta, United Nurses of Alberta and Alberta Federation of Labour are not happy about the proposed changes, but said in a joint statement that they are committed to continued discussions with the government and employers.

Horner said the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP), the Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP), the Management Employees Pension Plan (MEPP) and the Special Forces Pension Plan (SFPP) require changes to make them more “adaptable and affordable.” Pension payouts in Alberta average $12,414 a year for PSPPs and $14,958 a year for LAPPs.

The changes proposed include closing the MEPP to new members starting in 2015 and moving members to the PSPP. Starting Jan. 1, 2016, LAPP, PSPP and SFPP can be jointly sponsored with plan funding split 50-50 between employees and employers.

The new jointly sponsored plans will see cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) on benefits after 2015 reduced from a guaranteed 60 per cent of Alberta’s inflation rate to a “targeted” 50 per cent. COLAs could be increased, reduced or suspended altogether depending on the plan’s financial status.

There will be no benefit improvements until 2021, Horner said, at which time the effectiveness of the changes will be assessed.

The new plans will also end subsidies on pension benefits after 2015 for workers who retire before the age of 65 “because we need them,” said Horner, as Alberta’s population ages and more baby boomers begin retiring.

“We want our employees to stay and work and contribute for as long as they like so early retirement is an incentive that we want to move away from,” he said.

“It’s the long-term sustainability that

we need to address.”Doug Horner

Self-injury on rise, says psychologist

ALLISON SALZSun Media News Services

Angelina first cut herself when she was 15, a tiny gash on her wrist, as a way to cope with her invisible but crippling emotional pain.

“You’re in so much pain and you’re so desperate to get rid of it and you don’t know what else to do,” says the Edmonton woman, now in her 20s.

“You don’t feel like you have any options, you don’t feel like you can talk to anybody.”

The behavior is called non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and involves immediate damage to a person’s surface tissues.

Self-cutting is the most common form of NSSI, but experts say mutilation can also be caused by yanking out hair or burning skin with matches or cigarettes.

Self-cutting is estimated to now affect 14 to 21 per cent of teens, says Dr. Stephen Lewis, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at the University of Guelph in Ontario.

Teens who self injure — sometimes called “cutters” — seek immediate release from intense and overwhelming emotions they can’t regulate. “The most common reason for self injury is it’s used to cope,” he said.

“It’s used to manage difficult emotional experiences.”

Lewis added that, while there is some evidence to suggest that a teen who has a friend who self-injures puts them at risk to do the same, it is rarely just a cry for attention.

“I think that’s one really unfortunate misconception is that because teens are talking about this online that it is then confounded with attention-seeking,” he said.

“If it was attention seeking we wouldn’t see the low help-seeking rates for this behaviour, we wouldn’t see teens wanting to hide this.”

For Angelina, it was not, she says, a cry for attention; it was a coping mechanism she used to escape severe anxiety and depression.

Bullying had deteriorated her self-esteem and she felt like she had nowhere or no one to turn to.

“It was a way to release the pain. No amount of anything else helped,” she said, adding that the immediate release was followed by pangs of guilt.

“At the time you’re thinking it’s a means to an end. But then you’re feeling guilty and ashamed like: ‘How am I going to hide this? What is it going to look like?’”

Experts say parents should take self-

harming behaviour seriously and pay attention to cuts, burns, bruises or scratches.

A stash of sharp objects or noticing a teen wearing unseasonable clothing can also be red flags.

Angelina was forced to get help when a teacher caught her cleaning out her locker, she says. She felt she had hit rock bottom and was contemplating suicide.

Now though Angelina says the emotional scars have healed, the physical scars remain.

She says teens using cutting as a release from emotional struggles must fight that urge to internalize.

“Reach out. You might not think it’s a big deal, but you are actually doing damage because you’re not dealing with what’s happening,” she said.

“If you’re going through something that bad, reach out to someone. Anybody. It’s not worth the pain and it’s not worth the escalation.”

Photo: AMBER BRACKEN, Sun Media News ServicesAngelina struggled with cutting through her teens and early 20s, but now she is encouraging others going through the same ordeal to reach out and seek help.

End is the beginning for author JefferyGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Corinne Jeffery prefers to look at it as the beginning rather than the end.

The St. Albert author is officially releasing the third book of her Understanding Ursula trilogy, Choosing 1940-1989, on Sunday, Sept. 29, at the St. Albert Public Library. But she said she’s not looking at it as the end of the series.

“By definition, a trilogy, of course, is three books. So I don’t see this as the conclusion; I see it as the beginning of the trilogy,” Jeffery said. “It’s a subtle distinction ... So far, I have the two books published, and I have a lovely bunch of readers. That’s the most rewarding aspect for me as an author, is to meet my readers. There’s certainly the history of the trilogy, but the trilogy doesn’t come until Sept. 29, in my mind.”

Still, though, she admitted it’s bittersweet to put aside the characters that she and her readers have grow so attached to.

“I had talked about writing this trilogy for so long, it was just a part of me. And now it’s done,” she said. “It is written. I still pinch myself that it is.”

The trilogy chronicles the trials and tribulations of the Werner family, a clan of German Lutheran pacifists who came from Russia to settle the vast, harsh prairies of Western Canada.

So far, the trilogy has been a resounding success. The first book in the trilogy, Arriving 1909-1919, was launched in November 2011,

and has sold more than 2,700 copies. The second book, Thriving 1920-1939, is already on its second run of 2,000 copies.

“All of the secrets will be revealed in the third book,” Jeffery said. “I have never liked books where you meet characters, you get to know them, and then they disappear and never know what happens to them. So I chose not to

do that; I’ve tied up all the loose ends.”

Seeing that kind of success, as well as the pre-orders for the new book, is still very surreal for Jeffery, who was 66 when her first book was published.

“By the time the next shipment comes, we’ll have 11,000 copies,” she said with a bit of bewilderment in her voice. “Now,

there’s a lot to sell, but I have a number of people who have already purchased Choosing, even though I don’t have a single copy [in hand].”

But, as always, Jeffery has the support of her family — most importantly, her nine-year-old grandson Aidan, who she said is still her number one fan.

“One day, I think — and my

publisher says this — Aidan will become my agent,” Jeffery said with a laugh. “He is nine years old, and he is full of good ideas. One day, he said, ‘Grandma, we have to get your books out as a box set, just like Harry Potter.’ And he actually went home and made a box set for me, how we would do it.”

Launching the book in St. Albert, like she did with Thriving in September 2012, means a great deal to Jeffery.

“It’s huge ... I have lived in St. Albert for 33 years, and walking into that library, I am awestruck,” she said. “It’s a beautiful library in a beautiful building.”

While some of her readers have pleaded with Jeffery to continue the story of the Werners from 1989, where Choosing leaves off, to the present day, she is instead focusing on a new book that she is writing called Lords and Lepers, which she hopes to launch in 2016.

“I’ve started — I’m 80 pages into it,” she stated emphatically.

“In this well-to-do province we live in, I think materialism is alive and well,” she added, explaining the overall concept of the new book. “I’m a minimalist, a naturalist ... All too often, we are valued for what we have and what we do rather than for who we are.”

Jeffery also has a extensive tour of Western Canada planned through October to promote the new book.

The launch of Choosing 1940-1989 kicks off at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 29. Call the library at 780-459-1682 for more information.

Indigo Girls going still strong after 25 yearsGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

More than 25 years after releasing their first album, the Indigo Girls are still going strong.

The Atlanta-based folk rock duo released their latest album, Beauty Queen Sister, in 2011, and are back on the road through Western Canada, with a stop at the Arden Theatre scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 1.

“We started in high school, and we found something we both loved so, so much and were passionate about. And all we ever did was take the next good step,” said Emily Saliers, who makes up the band with Amy Ray. “That meant the next gig, or to try and grow in our songwriting, or try to learn a new instrument. And here we are, 30-some years later.”

While they’ve toured extensively throughout North America, Western Canada is one area where the Indigo Girls have rarely played — or certainly not as much as Saliers would like.

“We wanted to do a comprehensive tour of Canada. Most of the stops are places we’ve never been, and that’s where we’re really excited,” she said. “We have a lot of appreciation for Canadian music, and we thought it would be fun to get to know Canada better.”

They’re also taking the time to play some smaller cities on this tour, like St. Albert; Lethrbridge; Cranbrook, B.C.; and Nelson, B.C.

Saliers said places like that give off a much different vibe.

“The venues are typically smaller than what we play in the States, and there’s an intimacy to that,” she said. “In the States, of course, every town is different from the next one in some way, and I’m sure that’s the way

it is in Canada.”Throughout their Western Canada swing,

the Indigo Girls are being supported by Ottawa singer-songwriter Jeremy Fisher, whose latest album, Mint Juleps, was released in 2012.

“We knew we wanted to use a Canadian artist, just to foster simpatico between American artists and Canadian artists,” Saliers said. “We absolutely knew we wanted to pick a Canadian artist, and he was

recommended to us by the promoter, so that’s why we chose him.”

Once they’re done in Western Canada, though, Saliers and Ray have a number of shows scheduled in the United States playing alongside symphony orchestras.

Saliers said it’s a “fabulous” opportunity that she’s really looking forward to it.

“In the back of our minds, we thought this would be a very cool thing to do. And then they approached us, and we just started playing these symphony shows. We hired two different guys to arrange our songs, and they’re fabulous arrangers, so we know the symphonies are quite pleased with the charts,” she said. “Musically, it’s satisfying for them, and for us, quite exciting.”

Meanwhile, the pair are planning a new studio album in 2014, and are well into the writing process.

“We haven’t made any decisions on who’s playing or producing. We’re just going to let the songs be written and sort of let them dictate the direction they go,” she said. “It’s always a really good feeling to put out new music. It just makes you feel like you’re doing your work.”

The Indigo Girls play the Arden Theatre in St. Albert at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Tickets are currently sold out, but some may be released before the show through Ticketmaster or the Arden box office.

Hailey Benedict loves Alberta, and she wants to sing it from the rooftops.

Hailey, 11, a student at Keenooshayo School in St. Albert, has been named one of the eight finalists in the 2013 All-Albertan Song Contest, being put on by ATB Financial. Her song “My Sweet Alberta Home” is competing for votes with tunes from all across the province, with voting closing on Monday at noon.

While the contest isn’t over yet, Hailey admits that she has thought a little about what she would do if she won the grand prize of $10,000 cash and $2,000 in recording services.

“I have a junior guitar, and I want to upgrade it to a bigger one that sounds better, and is electric-acoustic, so I can bring it places and plug it in,” she said.

Hailey first heard about

the contest while she was visiting her grandparents in Calgary, and she got started right away.

“I had brought my guitar there, and the first thing I did was start figuring out the chords and the lyrics to the song,” she said.

“We were driving home and I said, ‘Did you have a chance to peek at that website yet?’ And [her grandfather] said, ‘Oh, she has the whole chorus and the first verse already written,’” her mom Brandee added.

Hailey has been taking singing classes since she was three years old, but started playing guitar recently. A friend, Julia Nicholson, plays guitar on the track she submitted to the contest.

When Hailey was writing her song, she said she thought about what she likes best about her home province.

“I thought about Alberta and everything about St. Albert and everything that describes it as a wonderful place,” she said. “I started coming up with more ideas and things that rhymed, and just put them all together.”

So far, the response to the song has been “awesome,” with family and friends casting their votes.

“It’s great support from my music teachers and family and friends and everyone pitching in, it’s so kind and thoughtful,” she said.

Votes can be cast at www.wearealberta.ca/contests/all-albertan-

song-contest until Monday at noon. The winner will be revealed

live on CKUA Radio on Friday, Sept. 27.


The City of St. Albert is giving residents a chance to ask some cultural questions at an upcoming event.

The City’s cultural services department is hosting its second Cultural Café on Thursday, Sept. 26, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Art Gallery of St. Albert (19 Perron St.). The event will give St. Albert citizens a chance to have a discussion with a panel of officials from the City and other local arts groups about the development of cultural

facilities and infrastructure.The panel will be moderated by cultural

services director Kelly Jerrott, and will include:

• planning and development manager Carol Bergum;

• Build St. Albert director Monique St. Louis;

• Arts and Heritage Foundation executive director Ann Ramsden;

• cultural services manager Adam Mitchell; and

• a representative from the City’s economic development department.

“The City wants to introduce and engage community-minded individuals to participate in cultural activities and to create a network that can be consulted for information, opinions and guidance to further develop St. Albert’s cultural community,” Jerrott said in a press release.

“One of the ideas that became clear when Cultural Services was creating the Cultural Master Plan was we had to create opportunities for people and organizations in the cultural sector to network,” added

City community culture co-ordinator

Tamsin Brooks. “We want to provide an opportunity for people

Filmmakers go ape for sequel project


A couple of young local filmmakers are going “ape” with their company’s new project.

Sam Reid and Justin Kueber are the creative forces behind Guerrilla Motion Pictures, their St. Albert-based film company. They are currently working on a new 20- to 30-minute short film called The Immigrant: Revenge of El Diablo, and they hope to have it wrapped up by October.

“We always describe it as a love letter to all those movies that we appreciated growing up, like Heat and Lethal Weapon,” Reid said.

The Immigrant: Revenge of El Diablo is a sequel of sorts. In 2009, Reid and Kueber put together a trailer for a movie called The Immigrant. Although they never made the whole movie, the trailer won three awards at that year’s University of Alberta Halloween Horror Competition and Picture Show: best editing, best cinematography and best grindhouse trailer.

“We didn’t expect to win any of those awards, to be honest,” Kueber said. “Myself and three other guys sat there at that first screening and saw all the films going by, and

were like, ‘Whoa, there’s some really good movies.’ Then we won — I had to go up there and give a speech, and I wasn’t prepared at all.”

In the meantime, Reid went to Red Deer College to study theatre and motion picture arts, and Kueber graduated from the film studies program at the University of Alberta.

This summer, they decided to get back together and expand on their idea.

“This time, we wanted to take it one step further,” Reid said. “We wanted to make it 20 to 30 minutes. Even then, it’s not a full, linear, complete story. It hits the big points of what would be in a big movie, but it jumps around a lot. The way we want to release it to people is to say it’s the only remaining parts of this lost feature.”

Reid and Kueber first met in Grade 9, and discovered their shared passion for filmmaking. In high school, they made a 35-minute film called There’s Something About Terry that was screened at Grandin Theatres.

“It’s pretty much just us being high school kids,” Kueber said. “But seeing the reactions from people, we thought this was something we could make a future in.”

Those who see the trailer for The Immigrant: Revenge of El Diablo, or the movie itself when

it is released, will recognize a lot of St. Albert landmarks in the film, as it was filmed almost entirely in the city.

“We have a showdown, a fight scene on the train tracks by the grain elevators,” Reid said.

“If you look hard in St. Albert, you can find a lot of places [to shoot]. It’s versatile; you can have that country area if you go out near Walmart.”

Finding actors and crew members has also been a bit of a challenge, but Kueber and Reid have been able to call on friends and classmates from over the years to help out there.

“Our main actor, Nima Taef, he’s been awesome — 100 per cent all the time,” Kueber said. “He wanted to film more!”

“As we promote it more on Facebook,” Reid added, “we’ve had more people come to us asking, ‘Can we be in it?’ And I’m like, ‘We’re running out of stuff to shoot.’”

Kueber and Reid are hoping at some point to screen The Immigrant: Revenge of El Diablo at Grandin Theatres or the Cineplex Odeon in north Edmonton. They hope to move into producing corporate videos in the future.

Help your partner win battle of the bulgeHEALTH

JOANNE RICHARDSun Media News Services

“Honey, you’ve gained a few pounds!”Those are painful words that hit below

the belt when your belt’s a bit tighter. The battle of the bulge rages on many home fronts and weighing in on your partner’s growing girth can often hinder their efforts to shape up.

“Often one partner is more fit than the other and the fact is that the svelte partner can be extremely disappointed at his or her partner’s plumper appearance and often becomes critical on a daily basis,” says sex and relationship expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz.

If a partner’s opinion is perceived as a continuous attack and overwhelming disapproval, the heavier spouse may start to react against this perceived rejection, says Schwartz, and stonewall any change, impeding constructive action.

Actually, being “encouraged” by a significant other to drop pounds can lead to unhealthy weight loss behaviours, including popping diet pills and self-induced vomiting, reports a new study published in the American Journal of Health Promotion. A partner’s input is often viewed as critical rather than supportive.

According to Schwartz, a helpful, not hurtful, partner boosts the chances of successful weight loss. “You can’t blame being heavy on a partner’s insensitivity or lack of support, but if the heavier spouse is feeling unloved, unsupported and even undermined — for example, by cooking fattening foods or eating delectable sweets in front of the dieter — it can create a mood that is defiant rather than collaborative.”

Schwartz, of aarp.org, weighs in personally on the matter. Her uber-fit fiancé is her biggest supporter and inspiration. “We were turning into the odd couple and I hated being the round one. So I finally got

my act together, and with his supportive behaviour and affection, joined Weight Watchers and so far have lost the 18 pounds I truly needed to lose.”

It’s been no easy task, but it can be done, and having the right partner is, if not critical, at least extremely helpful, adds Schwartz, author of The Normal Bar.

Boost your partner’s weight loss efforts with tips from Schwartz:

• Compliment your partner on how good they look when they dress up or try to look better. “Every encouragement shows that there is hope — and that they are loved.”

• Exercise with them. Start small — walks, short workouts, fun sports. “If they could have just done it alone, they would have,” says Schwartz.

• Eat well in their presence. Don’t be snarfing down a huge chocolate brownie in front of them while they’re stuck with cottage cheese. “Better yet, cook together, and cook healthy.”

• Subscribe to great magazines that give positive health messages. Consider good nutrition newsletters too, such as Nutrition in Action.

• The more they lose, the more amorous you should become. “Plan a getaway to celebrate some significant weight milestones.”

Meanwhile, count on doing damage if you:

• Keep “bad” things around the house. “Do your snacking outside of the range of your partner’s reach or knowledge,” says Schwartz.

• Insist on dining out a lot, especially cocktail parties. It’s tough to eat well outside the home, and cocktail parties have finger-food temptations.

• Drink too much: One glass is fine, but if you’re used to emptying a bottle together, then don’t uncork. It’s tough to exercise self-control when you drink.

• Get on their case all the time. This just gets depressing and may lead a partner to eat out of depression. “Believe me, they are beating themselves up over it daily — even if they don’t tell you. So don’t bash them twice.”

• Are turned off: You may be less interested in sex but you still need to connect. “You have to help them out of their self loathing and into positive thinking — even if you would much rather they be thinner, fitter and healthier.”

Photo: Sun Media News ServicesSupport and encouragement from your partner can

be a big help in the battle against excess weight, but the wrong behaviour can just as easily set

things back and undo any progress made.

Get JAMming to set recordCARY CASTAGNASun Media News Services

Patricia Friberg wants everybody on the planet to get active. And all she needs is 60 seconds of your time.

The exercise guru is the fitness spokeswoman for JAM World Record 2013, a one-of-a-kind event created to encourage millions of children and adults around the globe to take a mere 60 seconds to get up and move their bodies.

JAM, of course, stands for Just A Minute.“The whole purpose is to raise awareness about the

importance of physical activity,” Friberg says in a phone interview from her home in Westlake Village, Calif. “It’s a way for the world to unite and be physically active.”

Physical inactivity, according to the World Health Organization, is the “fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, causing an estimated 3.2 million deaths (annually).”

That shows that North Americans aren’t alone when it comes to inactivity, adds Friberg, a longtime trainer who counts several NFL and NBA players among her clientele.

“We’re finding that physical inactivity is an even bigger problem. Now, more than ever, fitness is important,” she explains. “And by getting people more active, then we’ll also notice a change in the obesity rates as well. My job as a fitness expert and fitness instructor is to really get out there and try to spread the word. This is a global campaign.”

The second annual JAM World Record event takes place Sept. 26 at 10 a.m. (your local time).

Friberg and Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller are featured in this year’s basic one-minute “fitness break,” which is now online.

Children and adults are urged to share pictures and video of

themselves JAMming to the fitness routine on the big day.Last year’s inaugural record-setting event drew more than 1.3

million participants worldwide.This year’s goal is to eclipse three million.“We are so busy as a society,” Friberg says, noting that so

many people are constantly tuned to their computers or cell phones these days and are essentially accessible 24-7. “Just giving you that moment to get away from the computer and be physically active is really important.”

For Friberg, the cause isn’t just philanthropic.It’s also personal.“I’ve been in the fitness industry a long time,” she says.

“There were times in my life when I was going through growth spurts where I certainly was aware of being chubby. So for me, absolutely it’s personal.”

Friberg, 40, also happens to be a married mother of two young boys — George, 8, and Geoffrey, 3.

“Obesity runs in my family, so I have to do what I can to make sure that my kids get that physical activity,” she adds. “It’s really not about being a star athlete. For me, it’s about teaching the importance of physical activity every single day.”

Plus, Friberg used to work in the school system as a mental health counsellor and has her master’s degree from Pratt Institute.

“The JAM World Record was a natural fit between my therapy background and understanding and knowing kids,” she explains. “I understand the psychological benefits of exercise. When kids have gone out and played, they’re happy and they’re flush and you can just see that they worked out and they feel so much better. You can see it helps their self-esteem. From a therapeutic standpoint, I also understand the benefits of physical activity, especially among our young people.”

Two U.S.-based health organizations are behind JAM World Record 2013 — Health-E-tips’ JAM School Program and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

The JAM School Program is a free resource for time-strapped teachers in an era of budget-related P.E. cuts.

It’s endorsed by Michelle Obama and recognized as a resource to the first lady’s Let’s Move anti-childhood obesity initiative.

Among its offerings, the JAM School Program provides weekly fitness routines students can do while standing or seated.

“What happens is these kids learn these little fitness routines at school and then they come home and they tell their parents and so their parents get involved. And then the parents bring it into their workplace,” notes Friberg, who is involved in helping to put the routines together.

“This project feels really good. If we could just ignite a little bit in these kids, who knows this might inspire them to be leaders in the fitness industry as well. It’s nice to give back in that way.

“I’m at the time of my life where I really want to inspire others to take a similar path as far as giving back. It’s just looking at our world as a community and trying to keep us as healthy as we possibly can.”

1 in 20 Canadians food addicts: study

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – One in 20 Canadians are “food addicts,” a new study from Newfoundland’s Memorial University suggests.

The study assessed 652 men and women from Newfoundland and Labrador using the Yale Food Addiction Scale. It asked true-or-false questions such as, “I eat to the point where I feel physically ill” and “My food consumption has caused significant psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, self-loathing or guilt.”

The study estimates seven per cent of women and three per cent of men are food addicts. Researchers found food junkies are about 12 kilograms heavier and have eight per cent more body fat than non-sufferers.

Research has noted similarities between the brains and behaviour of compulsive overeaters to cocaine addicts, leading scientists to coin the term food addiction, said Dr. Guang Sun, professor in the faculty of medicine at Memorial University.

“One important cause of energy surplus is overeating and a proportion of the population may develop an obsessive/compulsive relationship to certain foods. These individuals chronically consume

more food than they need to maintain health and show compulsive intake behaviours associated with loss of

control of eating,” Sun said in a statement.

Food Addicts Anonymous, a U.S. organization that offers a 12-step

program to sufferers, refers to the condition as a

biochemical disease.The study, funded by the

federal government’s Canadian Institutes of Health Research, was published Sept. 4 in the PLoS ONE

journal.Another study from the University of

British Columbia released in February said obesity rates are going up in Canada, largely in the Maritimes and territories. More than 30 per cent of the population in those regions is estimated to be obese.

Think better, healthier, green at AmaranthGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

A local business is hoping to get people thinking better, thinking healthier and thinking green at a workshop being held next week.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, Amaranth Whole Foods Market in the Enjoy Centre is hosting a workshop with Dr. Alan C. Logan, a naturopathic doctor, author and independent researcher.

Logan is the author of Your Brain on Nature and The Brain Diet. He

also wrote papers in 2003 and 2005 that were some of the first to suggest a positive connection between probiotics and human behaviour and mental outlook. He was also the valedictorian of his class at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.

During his talk at the Enjoy Centre, Logan will touch on a number of topics, including:

• ecotherapy, a new branch of medicine that is gaining acceptance among physicians today;

• sight, sounds and smells in nature, and their effects on stress and anxiety;

• the Japanese practice of “Shinrin-yoku,” or forest air breathing; and

• the importance of urban green spaces for better productivity at work, creativity and work-life balance.

If you’re interested in attending the workshop with Dr. Logan, you can register online at www.eventbrite.ca/event/7564739339. Tickets are $15 each, but pre-registered guests will receive a $10 gift card to Amaranth Whole Foods Market. DR. ALAN LOGAN

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Eating a healthy, balanced diet reduces the risk of developing severe depression, new research suggests.

It’s long been known that depressed people often have poor diets. But what’s unclear is whether the depression causes the unhealthy eating, or vice versa.

A University of Eastern Finland study of 2,000 men found those who ate a diet of vegetables, fruits, berries, whole-grains, poultry, fish and low-fat cheese were not only

less likely to show depressive symptoms, but were also less likely to have developed depression when researchers later followed up with them.

Those who lost weight over the 13-year course of the study also showed fewer depressive symptoms.

“The study reinforces the hypothesis that a healthy diet has potential not only in the warding off of depression, but also in its prevention,” lead author Anu Ruusunen said.

Balanced diet reduces risk of severe depression: study

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Want someone to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Pay them.

A new Canadian study shows that small financial incentives, as low as $5 a week, increase the amount of exercise people do.

And in some cases, that extra pocket money can save lives.

“Our research shows that people who participate in cardiac rehab programs after experiencing a major heart event cut their risk of dying from another cardiac event by as a much as 50 per cent,” said Dr. Paul Oh, director of Toronto Rehab’s Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Program, where the study was conducted.

“One of our concerns is there are people who need cardiac rehab, but are not receiving it or sticking with the program over the long term.”

The money for the pilot program was donated by Cookson James Loyalty, an organization aimed at improving health outcomes.

Similar incentive-based programs have been successful elsewhere in North America, helping people quit smoking and lose weight.

“People’s actions tend to serve their immediate self-interest at the expense of long-term well-being,” lead author Marc Mitchell said.

Ottawa cracking down on ‘zappers’

Canola makes major rebound

MATT DYKSTRASun Media News Services

The federal government is cracking down on businesses using “zappers” to dodge taxes.

Electronic sales suppression software — or “zappers” — are being used by some businesses in Canada to hide or modify the financial transactions in their point-of-sale system to avoid paying the government GST, PST, HST and income taxes, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says.

Speaking at the Sorrentino’s Bistro-Bar in downtown Edmonton last week, National Revenue Minister Kerry-Lynne Findlay warned businesses using the illegal software to own up to the CRA while they still can.

“The CRA is warning businesses to take steps now to ensure they do not possess electronic suppression of sales software and if they do, to remove it quickly,” Findlay said.

When the Excise Tax Act and Income Tax Act receives royal ascent sometime in January 2014, anyone caught using, owning or buying zappers will have to pay a $5,000 penalty. If they’ve been caught before, the penalty rises to $50,000.

The technicians and programmers making zappers get it even worse. Anyone who develops, manufactures or offers to sell a zapper is subject to $10,000 penalty on their first infraction and $100,000 on any subsequent infraction. Criminal offences for zappers include fines of up to $1

million and imprisonment for up to five years.

Edmonton-Centre MP Laurie Hawn said that while Canada has one of the highest rates of tax compliance in the world, “the use of this software undermines the competitiveness of honest businesses because it offers an unfair advantage to those who fail to comply with Canada’s tax laws.”

CRA has the means to find the unreported income, Findlay said. However, the government still doesn’t have a clear picture of how big the problem really is.

“I would think that if businesses are using it, the minister of national revenue would be the last person they’d tell,” smiled Findlay. “But we know it’s out there. We know it’s happening. To put a figure on it would be difficult.”

Garth Whyte, president and CEO of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association, of which Sorrentino’s is a member, said they support harsher punishments after seeing the problems of policing zappers in Quebec.

Quebec installed a “black box” to monitor transactions on every restaurant cash register in the province but Whyte said the box only served to create ongoing costs and red tape for honest businesses.

The CRA encourages businesses to ensure they do not currently use zapper software and if they do, to file a voluntary disclosure to the CRA before January 2014 so they only have to pay their back-taxes and minor penalty fees.

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Canada’s expected record-large canola crop looks to re-stock the country’s seed exporters and crushers after a disappointing previous harvest, and top up already growing global oilseed supplies, industry sources said.

Canada is the world’s biggest producer of canola, which is mainly used to make vegetable oil for foods like potato chips and salad dressings. Statistics Canada pegs this year’s harvest at 14.7 million tonnes, but many traders and analysts expect output to be even higher.

A bountiful harvest is just what Canadian crushers and seed exporters need after last year’s 13.9-million tonne harvest left skimpy supplies by summer that inflated prices.

“We should have a fairly consistent or fluid pipeline for this entire year,” said Dean McQueen, vice-president of merchandising and transportation at Viterra, one of Western Canada’s two biggest crop handlers and owner of a canola plant in Manitoba.

This year’s bumper crop comes amid concerns that hot, dry weather will trim production of U.S. soybeans, a rival to canola in the global vegetable oil market.

Even so, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts global soybean

production of nearly 282 million tonnes in 2013-2014, an increase of five per cent from the previous year. The world canola/rapeseed harvest is forecast around 66 million tonnes, up nearly seven per cent, while global palm oil output of 58 million tonnes also looks to rise five per cent, according to USDA.

There are few worries, however, that canola demand can keep pace with supply.

“The cupboard was pretty bare at the end of (2012-2013), so I don’t see us having a huge excess of production lying around,” said Kevin Price, senior trader for the Canadian office of Singapore-based Agrocorp International.

“Canola can differentiate itself in the market quite well.”

The industry markets canola oil as one of the healthiest vegetable oils, due to its low level of saturated fat.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada estimates that Canadian canola exports will climb by 450,000 tonnes or six per cent in 2013-2014 due to larger supplies and strong global consumption.

Canada exported 7.2 million tonnes of canola seed in 2012-2013, down 16 per cent from the previous year. China was the biggest export destination, followed closely by Japan.

Don’t let job jitters sink your interviewJOANNE RICHARDSun Media News Services

Got a job interview coming up and a bad case of the jitters?

Well, take a deep breath — and if you’re a guy, an even deeper breath. According to new research out of Guelph University, men with a bad case of interview anxiety will perform worse than jittery females.

“Men and women do not necessarily experience different levels of self-reported interview anxiety, but anxious males suffer significantly greater impairments to interview performance than do anxious females,” says researcher and PhD student Amanda Feiler.

While most job seekers suffer anxiety to some degree during interviews, appearing nervous has a much greater impact on success for men. Maybe it’s just more socially acceptable for women to be nervous, so men are penalized for displaying anxiousness.

Job jitters can sink an interview by affecting a candidate’s ability to form an effective answer, as well as affecting the interviewers’ perceptions, says Feiler, who co-conducted the published work with Dr. Deborah Powell.

“Anxious candidates will often have difficulty drawing on their past experiences or forming an effective answer in response to an interview question,” says Feiler, adding that anxious candidates frequently appear less confident, less warm and less enthusiastic than do less anxious candidates, which impacts perceptions.

From nervous tics to being tongue-tied, interview anxiety can rear its ugly head as witnessed in some of the 125 co-op students who participated in the structured mock

interviews. Physiological symptoms include increased heart rate, clammy hands, stuttering and fidgeting, while cognitive symptoms involve experiencing negative thoughts about interview performance.

“Often people experience both ... What we find to be more common amongst individuals is the impression they construct to interviewers — they appear less assertive, less interpersonally attractive and less confident overall.”

For the research, Feiler, who did the study for her master’s thesis project, focused on what behaviours anxious interviewees exhibit, why anxious candidates receive lower ratings of interview performance, and most recently, how those with interview anxiety can be helped.

She stresses the importance of finding coping strategies. “The more anxious candidates are, the lower interview performance rating they tend to receive, and subsequently they are less likely to be hired. It is important for both men and women to prepare for the interview as best they can and to try to lower their nerves,” adds Feiler.

Currently Feiler and Powell are running a treatment-based study in Toronto and Guelph through to September to help individuals with interview anxiety.

“Individuals go through two mock interviews, learn strategies to help them with their anxiety, and receive developmental feedback from trained interviewers. The feedback we have been receiving from those who have participated has been extremely positive,” she says, adding that those interested in participating can e-mail [email protected].
