publisher & editor-in-chief ’s message

It has been more than a century since the first edition of the Evening Journal rolled off a small set of presses at the back of the Shamrock Fruit Store at First Street and 101A Avenue.

Today, 109 years later, the Edmonton Journal reaches into the lives of hundreds of thousands of Albertans every week in print, online, on tablets and apps and via mobile devices. One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is our dedication to excellence in journalism and our commitment to our community. Our newsroom, the largest in northern Alberta, is focused on providing you with relevant local information as well as the best of provincial, national and international news. We also believe in meaningful engagement with the citizens of our city and region. Our community newsroom, The Bridge, provides a forum for readers to interact with us and with others, and we continue to explore other ways in which we can have a two-way conversation with our audiences, however they want to reach us. That community connection is at the heart of everything we do. We invite you to join the conversation.

economic growth

economic growth Alberta’s energy sector is going strong, even in the face of global turmoil. Though the threat of a recession in the Eurozone has sent global financial markets into turmoil, oil prices have regained much of their lost ground and are expected to climb higher over 2012 and 2013, eventually reaching an average of US$106 in 2013. Energy investment in Alberta will swell thanks to the thriving oilsands, increasing from $31.8 billion in 2011 to $57 billion by 2016. Edmonton, as Alberta’s energy hub, continues to be one of the top performers in Canada, posting an estimated GDP gain of 3.6 per cent in 2011. Edmonton’s GDP is forecast to grow by 3.4 per cent in 2012 and by an even faster 4.3 per cent in 2013.

When then premier Don Getty ordered the creation of a family holiday in 1989, Alberta topped the country for rates of divorce and two-parent working families. Twenty-two Family Days later, the holiday is still a muddle, with Albertans enjoying less family time than anyone else in Canada and trailing only Quebec in lacking a sense of community belonging. The popular holiday was subsequently borrowed by Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island, but statistics compiled by the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute show a “quite startling” lack of work-life balance here. “Family Day comes when it does because people need a break this time of year,” said Diana Gibson, research director. “We hoped this would trigger a conversation about what kind of social-policy framework we need in Alberta to encourage work-life balance.” Parkland compiled the numbers for an upcoming report on inequality in the province, prompted by Premier Alison Redford’s calls last fall for the development of a new social policy framework. The public policy research group reports that Albertans enjoy 182 fewer hours of leisure time each year than the Canadian average. And in 2010, Albertans worked 7.5 hours more each week than the typical worker in the top 15 developed countries. Vacation minimums begin with two weeks plus nine paid holidays, a far cry from the four-week minimums in the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. Gibson said the Albertan tendency to knuckle down can’t be chalked up to one thing. A 44-hour work week and a $9.40 minimum wage create problems compounded by

The brief, furious artillery duel this week between Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths and Alberta Urban Municipalities Association president Linda Sloan has dragged out into the daylight the long-standing suspicion that the province penalizes dependent institutions whose leaders are openly critical of its policies. Griffiths’ angry response, which included a provincial boycott of a meeting with the association, and a nasty tweet from a top aide of Premier Alison Redford that Sloan has “lied ... maliciously,” will have done little to reassure mayors, school board chairmen and university executives that the new PC government has a better sense of humour than its touchy predecessors did when publicly challenged. Is it true that the grant system for municipalities “has been subject to reduction, to change and to partisan influence” as claimed by Sloan, an Edmonton councillor? She offers no evidence, although one is reminded of Mayor Stephen Mandel’s outrage — quickly stifled — back in 2007 when Edmonton received significantly less than Calgary and Strathcona County in the new system of infrastructure grants. The Catch-22s of accusations like Sloan’s is that partisan behaviour is difficult to quantify, and that the relative silence of Alberta boards, municipalities and other institutions could mean that they are indeed all happy and fairly treated in this, the best of all possible provinces. We can only make judgments based on occasional telltale wisps of smoke, such as the occasional tendency of smaller town councils to buy fundraiser tickets to Tory events. But maybe, in practical terms, the truth about our keepquiet political culture isn’t what really matters. We have a new government that clearly wants to do things better. Griffiths himself has worked hard to be more collaborative with municipalities. The real question is how to make sure everyone knows that the Redford era will feature thicker ministerial skins and that people in positions of authority can participate in open debate about how and where tax dollars should be spent. Albertans must be confident that public figures are speaking out on behalf of their areas of responsibility, and that the provincial government has a good rationale for the choices it has made in the face of competing demands for public money. In the current case, a good start has been made, with apologies and agreements to disagree on all sides. We’ll

Re: “ER wait times remain ‘abysmal’; Province admits it will fail to reach reduction targets,” The Journal, Feb. 16. It was both disconcerting and disappointing to read Health Minister Fred Horne’s comments with respect to emergency room wait times in Alberta. It is apparent that he simply doesn’t get it. Here we go again with blaming prolonged waits for emergency care on increased uti-

and First Nations as the three pillars of Canadian languages and cultures. Then we should increase exposure of French and First Nations languages and cultures to the public through academic, recreational and cultural exchange activities. Making connections to the French and First Nations communities is crucial. It would make language learning harder if the learners lost touch with the target language communities.

Keep our bitumen here You think our gasoline prices are high now? Wait until they get that bitumen piped across the border to the United States. Then they will have full control. Gas prices keep going up and down like a yo-yo. I agree with the people who said we should build refineries in Alberta. Pipeline work would employ people for a year or more, but refineries will employ workers indefinitely for as long as we have bitumen here. L e n C a l l i h o o, E d m o n t o n

Our Saturday Travel section is responsible for more daydreams than any other section of the paper. Travel takes readers away to excited destinations both near and far: from weekend getaway and local hideaways to exotic adventures and relaxing retreats, it’s all here.

Civic affairs writer. Sports blogger. Award-winning author.

sports reporter and columnist for the Journal, has recently turned his incisive wit and edgy style to the paper’s editorial pages. In a weekly column that appears Fridays, Dan takes aim at issues that resonate with Edmontonians of all ages, with a particular focus on those that have a profound effect on baby boomers (like him) and their children. Contrarian and conservative, Dan still keeps a foot in the sports world, often through his Twitter feed, @jrnlbarnes.

Nick Lees got his start in

journalism in London where he worked on Fleet Street before coming to Canada to write for the Journal. Over the years, Nick has written on a dizzying array of adventurous topics - his assignments have included running marathons, parachuting with the Airborne Regiment, travelling in a submarine, driving in demolition derbies and living in an igloo in the Arctic. Now, after two hip replacements, he begins a new column called Man of a Certain Age, chronicling his adventures in a new chapter of his life. An ardent fundraiser and supporter of local charities, Nick also writes a weekly column in the city section about community events and the city’s movers and shakers.

sports columnist at the Journal since 2003, has written about everything from football and the Olympics, to rodeo and curling, to golf and skiing - oh, and that popular local hockey team. John has been perching in press boxes around the sporting world since 1981, first with the Canadian Press in Montreal, then the Ottawa Citizen and finally the Journal. A graduate of Concordia and Syracuse universities, John also writes the Sweatsox blog on the Journal website and tweets under the Twitter handle @rjmackinnon.

a special area on our website where readers can share their stories, photos and videos. Launched at the end of October 2011, the initiative is an important part of our goal to create greater collaboration in the community. By broadening the circle of information gathering, we’re increasing the range of facts and opinions in the Journal to help make it a stronger, richer and more in-depth source of information. Every day on The Bridge (edmontonjournal.com/thebridge) there are new assignments that solicit readers’ input – some are just plain fun, some require more thought and others have you share your photos and videos.

exciting initiatives

community advisory board During the summer of 2011 we solicited applications for a community advisory board to help make sure we are on track as we continue to change and adjust to the rapidly changing media landscape. We received 96 thoughtful submissions from members of the public and from those selected 15 members of the public to be on the Journal’s community advisory board. Editor-in-chief Lucinda Chodan and city reporter Elise Stolte are also on the board and meetings are chaired by Barb Wilkinson, our deputy editor of innovation and engagement. It’s a diverse group that gathers every two months to help shape and direct new initiatives such as The Bridge, attend news meetings and meet editors, and speak to their individual expertise or opinions on a wide range of topics.

media lab One way the Edmonton Journal has looked to deepen and strengthen its relationship to the community it serves, and to support a continuous learning environment among staff, is by creating a Media Lab within its downtown building. We have developed public learning space for students, for members of the public, for clients and partners, and for all staff of the the Journal. It’s already been home to a citizen journalism workshop, 235 Grade 5-6 students visiting through the City Hall school, 55 hours of professional development and five webinars for staff. It’s also hosted meetings for our community advisory board and is home to our first blogger-in-residence, Alex Abboud, who has held office hours for staff and provided workshops for Journal bloggers and community bloggers alike.

Bullying should be a crime: poll Pos tm e dia N e ws

MILKMAN Continued from A1

“If it doesn’t bother you, it doesn’t bother me,” he told them. A reminder of an era when everything from bread to coal and ice were home-delivered, Svederus is calling it quits to become a school custodian, an avocation he enjoyed as a teenager in Elnora, a village of 250 people 80 kilometres southeast of Red Deer. The change will provide him with employment benefits and security he lacks as an independent contractor. When he started, there were three dairies in Edmonton; today the business is dominated by corporate giant Saputo. As prices have risen, all of Svederus’ fellow milkmen have disappeared and his list of clients has shrunk from 750. To make a living, he charges a premium on top of retail prices, bringing the cost of a four-litre jug of milk to $7.51 — $3 more than some stores charge. “It has become too hard to expand my customer base,” he says. “When you consider the price difference, I am surprised I have any customers at all.”

Despite the expense, Svederus has legions of loyalists. Since sending out a notice last week about his retirement, he has received tearful telephone messages and been deluged with letters and cards. One woman, who gave him a $100 Safeway certificate for Christmas, left an envelope containing four crisp $50 bills. Another, Ann Hill, made a poster thanking him and had it waiting Tuesday when he brought milk to the door. “When I heard he was retiring, I was more disappointed than surprised,” Hill says. “I am very disappointed. Can I repeat that? I have had milk delivered my entire life.” A customer since the 1990s, Hill ordered as many as 17 litres of milk a week from Svederus as her kids were growing. “For me to cart that into the house would have been just one more horrendous task,” she says. “I admire him for doing it.” The editorial director of an Edmonton publishing house, Nancy Foulds has been a customer for 20 years. “When we got the note, we were choked up,” Foulds says. “It’s tragic. I don’t know what we are going to do. We are going to

have to buy milk. Can you imagine that?” With rare exceptions, most customers never see him. Children write him off as mythical, like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. “I’ve had people tell me their kids think milk comes from the milk fairy,” Svederus says. “They just wake up in the morning and it’s there.” “I don’t have a clue what Barry looks like,” says Joan Hertz-Benkendorf, another longtime customer. “I would walk right by him. He’s like a mysterious man who drops off magical potions and because of it my children don’t starve.” On Tuesday, Svederus climbed out of bed at 1 a.m. and picked up his supplies at a warehouse an hour later. At 2:30, he began his final week of deliveries, sharing streets with night owls and a fellow delivering newspapers with his dog trotting beside his car. Over the course of a few hours, Svederus hopped out of his truck again and again and carried 700 containers of milk to houses and schools and seniors homes from Glenora to Capilano, Strathearn to Ottewell and Meadowlark to Riverdale. Twice, he entered houses and left

Prairie village of Rockhaven lives up to its name after meteor landing J AS O N WARI C K

Sask atoon StarP h oe n i x

Residents in and around this village 180 kilometres west of Saskatoon say they’re amused by the attention brought by an apparent meteorite landing. The area has been inundated with “rock hunters” from across Alberta, Saskatchewan and the United States since a brilliant flash of light and a strange noise was noticed last week more than 50 kilometres in all directions. Officials in the rural municipality in nearby Cut Knife say area maps are in hot demand. At least one man claims to have found a palm-sized rock and is considering selling it. “It’s been interesting, a lot of fun,” said Karley Duncan, who farms just east of Rockhaven with husband, Brad. Tom Hollman, who works at one of the grain elevators in town, said he was walking to his shed last Tuesday at about 9:45 p.m. when he saw a bright light. “I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was a spotlight from one of the neighbours. Then I saw a blue light on the side of my house,”

Hollman said. “Then I heard a rumble, but I thought it was a semi. I didn’t know what it was, but I found out the next day.” Hollman and co-worker Matt Schwevius said they’ve seen many unfamiliar trucks and other vehicles in the area. Some had complex machinery in the truck bed. Others had in-cab computers. “Some are just average Joes, but there were some professionals,” Schwevius said. One of those veteran rock hunters who left a business card with locals is Don Hurkot. In an interview from his Alberta home, Hurkot said he went to Rockhaven and searched for several hours Saturday in the midst of a blizzard. “This could be very significant, but the pieces could be scattered over a couple of square miles or more,” Hurkot said. Hurkot, who has purchased meteorites from all over the world and has found several himself, said he’d like to buy the one already found and add it to his collection. Hurkot, who has a graduate degree in metallurgical engineering, said if he could verify the rock’s authenticity, it could provide a valuable window into the way the universe works.

Over the years, he has stumbled across people in various states of undress. “I have seen women half-naked,” he says. “When you are a milkman, it’s like you are part of the family: ‘Oh, it’s just Barry.’” Married to a milkman’s daughter and lactose intolerant, Svederus doesn’t like milk. “I drink a lot of wine instead.” On Friday, Edmonton’s dairy luminary will bid farewell to a city that loves him. On Tuesday, one customer after another left him heartfelt notes and gifts. “I haven’t been to a place yet that hasn’t left me something,” he says, the sky starting to brighten. “I am always amazed at people’s generosity.” “St. Patrick’s Day is coming up,” one person wrote. “Have a drink on me.” For 25 years, Duncan Fraser has set his clock by Svederus’ arrival to his house in Rio Terrace: 5:54 a.m. “He represents the last of the topquality, old-fashioned delivery guys,” Fraser says. “I am very sorry to see this end.”

A majority of Canadians believe bullying should be considered a crime, according to an Angus Reid poll released Wednesday, Pink Shirt Day. The poll revealed 65 per cent of respondents believe bullying should be regarded as a criminal activity, even if no physical violence is involved. Respondents in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces were more likely to identify bullying as a criminal act, with support reaching 78 per cent. In Alberta, 58 per cent of respondents agreed bullying should be a crime. B.C. had the lowest level of support among all provinces, at 55 per cent. About 20 per cent of Canadians believe bullying should be deemed a crime only when there is physical violence, while six per cent believe bullying is not a crime. The vast majority of Canadians — 90 per cent — were in favour of a cyber-bullying law similar to one proposed in the United States that would make it a crime to bully someone online. According to the anti-bullying Pink Shirt Day campaign website, a child is bullied in Canada every seven seconds. Pink Shirt Day is a nationwide campaign in which young people don pink shirts to send an anti-bullying message. It began in September 2007 at a high school in Cambridge, N.S., when a Grade 9 student was bullied because he wore a pink shirt. The Angus Reid poll was conducted online Feb. 14-15. It involved 1,006 respondents and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.

Lost girl judged as public menace Paula Simons

The slight girl sat quietly next to her lawyer in the fourth-floor courtroom. Painfully thin, she looked as though she was trying to hide inside her over-large blue hoodie. At 17, she could easily pass for 12. She doesn’t look like a sexual predator or a public menace. Yet last August, that’s how she was treated, and how she was publicly portrayed. Today, I cannot name her. Her identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Last summer, Edmonton police had no such scruples. They got a court order, allowing them to name her, to circulate her picture to every media outlet, and to reveal that she was HIV positive. The ensuing media manhunt quickly led to her arrest — but the public hysteria continued. Though the girl was arrested on a Saturday, police left her name, picture, and private medical record on their website until that next Monday. The girl was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault, an extremely serious charge, which, for adults, can carry a sentence of life in prison. She was held without bail for three months, and then released, first to a secure residential addiction treatment facility, then under a form of strict house arrest. Meanwhile, she was viciously attacked on social media websites, which have still not taken her name and photo down, despite being in violation of the law. And yet, this week, when the case finally went to court, the Crown accepted the girl’s plea — not to aggravated sexual assault, but merely to one minor charge of committing a common nuisance. She was given a conditional discharge, subject to six months of probation, during which she must abstain from alcohol and non-prescription drugs, attend counselling, and live in a place approved by her probation officer. It was a victory for mercy and common sense, recognition this girl was never the public threat she was made out to be. Last summer, she was a street kid, living in a tent community in the Mill Creek Ravine. According to court records, over the course of the summer, she had twice had unprotected sex — both vaginal and oral — with two teenage boys who were also part of the tent community. On both occasions, she was extremely intoxicated. She didn’t disclose her HIV status to either partner. That’s certainly not good. However, according to medical evidence, her

“viral load” was very low — which made the actual risk of transmitting the virus extremely low. According to Dr. Brian Conway, an independent HIV expert obtained by the Crown, the girl’s odds of transmitting the virus were five in 30,0000 per sex act. The Crown presented no evidence that any of the girl’s partners had contracted HIV from having sex with her. No matter how low her viral load, the girl still had a basic human responsibility to warn partners that she was HIV positive. But then, she didn’t force anyone to have sex with her. And she didn’t prevent anyone from using condoms. Both her young partners chose to have unprotected sex with her, even though they knew she was leading a lifestyle that might put her at a higher risk of having a sexually transmitted disease. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments about whether it should continue to be a crime for people to fail to disclose their HIV status. That is a larger philosophical question here. To what extent do we want the state to police and punish our private sexual behaviour and choices? It may be a moral sin, not to inform your sexual partner that you have a sexually transmitted disease, be it herpes or syphilis or venereal warts. But should it be a crime, punishable by the Crown? At what point, in the sexual marketplace, do we invoke the law of caveat emptor and require people to take some personal responsibility for practising safe sex? In this day, when HIV is more a manageable chronic disease, and less a death sentence, it may not make sense anymore to single the condition out for special legal status. Doing so may actually amplify the public health problem by perpetuating the very social stigma that drives those with the disease to hide their diagnosis. Here’s the irony. The police only moved to arrest the girl as a desperate last resort, after all efforts by health-care professionals, youth outreach workers and the police themselves failed to compel child welfare to take action. In many ways, the girl is in a far, far better situation than she was nine months ago. She has completed addiction treatment. She’s living in a safe place. She’s getting counselling and support, as well as consistent medical care. The tragedy is that this vulnerable girl should have had all those supports anyway, without having her civil rights and her privacy violated, without being publicly vilified, shamed, and incarcerated. But when the child welfare system failed to act, police were left to use the bluntest of tools, in the most clumsy of ways, to ensure that a sick child wasn’t putting herself, or others, at risk. In many ways, being arrested helped this girl turn her life around. Only she can judge whether being rescued, by being outed and defamed, was worth the cost. ps im ons @e dm ontonjour nal.c om Twitter.com/Paulatics

Seniors worry government may lift long-term care cap KA REN KL EI S S

Jour nal S taff Wr ite r

A broad coalition of seniors advocates on Wednesday castigated the government for refusing to reveal whether it plans to remove the cap on long-term care fees, a move the groups say could mean some seniors will pay as much as $6,000 a month for care. Nearly a dozen groups representing thousands of Alberta seniors have launched a pre-election campaign to oppose the privatization of seniors care in Alberta. They want all of Alberta’s political parties to make their platforms public before the coming spring election. “Seniors are not going to stand by and let the government turn seniors health care over to corporations,” said Noel Somerville, chair of Public Interest Alberta’s Seniors Task Force. “During the campaign for the leadership of the PC party, Premier Redford criticized Gary Mar for suggesting that it was time for more privatized health care. “We very strongly support her position on that … (But) if multitier, privatized health care is the wrong thing for Albertans, why on earth is it the right thing for Alberta seniors?” During the leadership race, Redford proposed removing the cap to spur private investment in construction of new care facilities, which the province desperately needs. More than 1,000 Alberta seniors are currently blocking acute-care

hospital beds while they wait for long-term care. The coalition includes representatives from the Alberta Council on Aging, Seniors United Now, the Seniors Action and Liaison Team, the Edmonton Chapter of the Canadian Association of Retired People and the Alberta Retired Teacher’s Association, among others. They say removing the $1,700 monthly limit on the amount Alberta seniors pay out-of-pocket for care would be a “shameful” betrayal that leaves Alberta’s vulnerable seniors “to the tender mercies of corporations.” Balwin Reichwein, a retired social worker with Whitemud Citizens for Public Health, explained the actual cost of care is currently about $6,000 and the province pays the bulk of it, with seniors paying a maximum of $1,700 each month. Removing the cap, he said, could increase the costs for all those who don’t currently qualify for government subsidies. “What we’re hearing from the seniors population, collectively, is that they’re not asking for freebies,” Reichwein said. “They want fairness and social justice.” Gary Pool of the Alberta Council on Aging said rather than building the nursing-home beds required, the government has been subsidizing the private sector to build and operate supportive or assisted-living facilities that can’t meet the long-term medical care needs of seniors. “Now the government is talking of lifting the cap on long-term care accommodations in hopes that the private sector will see enough potential

The Alberta government and oil industry will be looking across the Atlantic Thursday as a European Commission committee votes on a new fuel measurement that some believe unfairly discriminates against products from the oilsands. The issue, set to be debated by the European Union’s fuel quality committee, is a proposed fuel quality directive that is part of the EU’s green-house reduction efforts. European countries agreed in

2008 to cut the carbon intensity of its transport fuels by six per cent as of 2020. To help accomplish that, the fuel quality directive includes the equivalent of a yardstick measuring the greenhouse gas impact of different types of fuel. For Canada, the main source of contention is that “natural bitumen,” a term to describe oilsands, is given a higher carbon intensity rating than conventional oil. Provincial, federal and industry officials have campaigned against the measure while environmental groups want Europeans to adopt the change.

Alberta currently supplies almost no fuel to Europe. But Cal Dallas, Alberta’s Minister of Intergovernmental, International and Aboriginal Affairs, said the province is worried about the precedent of different greenhouse gas values and the potential harm to the reputation of the oilsands. The province does not dispute the EU’s right to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, Dallas said. “It’s the manner in which the oilsands are singled out and given a value when other crudes are given a default value we know is not correct,” he said Wednesday.

Alberta’s United Kingdom office has pushed hard against this proposal, as has the federal government. In October, Alberta’s U.K. office sent a letter to all 27 EU states outlining its “grave concerns” about the language of the fuel quality directive and arguing Alberta’s oilsands industry should not be penalized for having its greenhouse gas data available. “Alberta feels that it is being punished by the current proposal for our very openness, whereas other jurisdictions that are not so forthcoming are in turn rewarded for their lack of transparency,” wrote Alberta U.K. managing director Jeffrey Sundquist.

This week, the federal government threatened to challenge the decision at the World Trade Organization if the EU adopts the fuel directive. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver told Postmedia last week that he can’t predict the results but believes the federal government’s message is resonating with EU members. However, in a primer on the issue, the Pembina Institute environmental think-tank said it does not believe the directive singles out the oilsands.

profit to start building and operating nursing homes for those who can afford this cost,” Pool said. “Unfortunately, it’s not the wealthy we need to worry about. “We already have plenty of options — there are already lots of private, relatively expensive long-term care facilities out there.” Coalition members worry that when for-profit corporations control most seniors-care options, they will leverage that power to secure further fee hikes in the future. Health Minister Fred Horne said the government hasn’t yet decided whether it will remove the cap, and that the priority right now is to build affordable continuing-care spaces for seniors on fixed incomes. “Our long-term care system is founded on partnerships, with the not-for-profit sector and with the private sector, and then with some facilities that are entirely run by Alberta Health Services,” Horne said. “That’s been the tradition in Alberta since the 1950s and 1960s, that’s how we leverage taxpayer dollars in order to build the number of continuing care spaces that we need.” Seniors Minister George VanderBurg said the issue demands broad discussion and consultation with Albertans and MLAs. “There are no plans right now to remove the cap at all,” VanderBerg said. “This is a complex issue and there’s no easy answer to your question.”

BRIEFS Hyper-local in California If you’re planning a ﬁrsttime trip or even a revisit, here’s a new app that digs deep into L.A. and San Francisco. ❚ Name: Know What ❚ Available for: iPhone, iPad ❚ What it does: This app curates hyper-local city guide information from people who “know what” they’re talking about. Locals — who are also authors, journalists and well-known bloggers — reveal their city’s possibilities based on their favourites. ❚ Cost: Starts at $2.99 ❚ What’s hot: Go straight to the themes (Arts & Culture, Food, Kids & Family, Nature & Outdoors, etc.) or authors that are important to you. Get “On the Trail of the Black Dahlia” from expert tour guide Esotouric, or “The Best Veg Food in the Bay Area as Picked by Genius Experts” from popular vegan lifestyle blogger Vegansaurus. I was hungry to download “San Francisco’s Top 30 Taquerias.” Like this app? New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle and Portland, Ore., will be added this year. ❚ What’s not: In-app purchases are a big turnoff. Why charge $2.99 upfront if it’s going to cost an additional 99 cents to $3.99 for each guide within? Just break the cost down per city, and charge for that. I’d rather pay $6.99 for a city guide than $2.99 three times. ❚ Worth it: Yes and no. You’re getting top-notch content in a gorgeous format with easy-touse directions, but tapping into all the articles could put a dent in your wallet. Browse topics before you get too excited.

MARK SISSONS Calgary Herald VALEMOUNT, B.C. - “Never been

glade skiing in the wilderness before? Just don’t look at the trees and you’ll do fine,” instructs the man I’ve just met, who has my life in his hands for the next seven days. Perched on a windswept ridgeline, I digest his advice while the Bell 212 helicopter that just deposited us on the roof of British Columbia’s Cariboo Mountains swoops away between snowcapped peaks that rise like whitecaps on an ocean of clouds. Forcing visions of a head-on hardwood collision from my mind, I point my fat skis toward the fall line of a wide, untouched slope smothered by a blanket of powder. Further down lies an obstacle

Then cautiously weaving through the silent forest far below, forcing myself not to look at those darn trees. The whoosh of my boards, yelps of joy from my companions, and our guide’s “whoop whoop!” yodel, directing us toward our pickup location are the only sounds that break the silence of this timeless wilderness. No wonder they call your first heli-skiing run “the point of no return.”

Helicopter-assisted skiing and snowboarding in western Canadian mountain ranges like the Cariboos, Selkirks and Bugaboos is as good as it gets. Easy access to massive amounts of terrain, unmatched snow conditions and some of the best operators in the business have made this rugged region legendary among powder hounds. So what’s a powder pup like me with barely an off-piste run to my name doing off the grid, playing with the big dogs? Until recently, heli-skiing was generally considered an extreme sport only accessible to wellheeled, elite skiers. Like most mountain mortals I watched those

Warren Miller movies showing daredevils plunging down impossibly steep and deep wilderness runs in exhilarating dances with gravity with awe and envy. Then I heard about an innovative new weeklong intro to heli-skiing course offered this season by industry leader Canadian Mountain Holidays. Designed to make heliskiing more accessible to average resort skiers with deep pockets and a willingness to get outside their comfort zones, “Powder 101” aims to help them make the transition to a new world of deep powder wilderness skiing. Suddenly, learning to carve my snowy signature down untracked slopes blanketed with the fluffiest champagne powder on Earth seemed achievable for a groomer grinder. Since CMH practically invented the sport of heli-skiing in North America, and has been the undisputed industry leader for over 40 years, and has exclusive access to a wilderness area half the size of Switzerland, I figured I’d be in good hands on my first foray way, way out of bounds. “If you’re comfortable on intermediate runs at most resorts, willing to tackle the occasional black diamond run, and have a real sense of adventure, you’re ready for Powder 101,” the CMH representative assured me.

Freedom 66 for most, poll finds JOHN MORRISSY Financial Post OTTAWA - Years of rising consumer debt are coming home to roost, forcing Canadians to rethink traditional plans to retire by age 65. Most Canadians now expect to work past 66, as only 30 per cent think they will be able to fully retire by that age, according to a poll conducted for Sun Life Financial. Debt appears to play a big role in

that equation, with 47 per cent of those surveyed saying they are worried about the debt they’ll be dealing with as retirees. And while many baby boomers have said they’ll work into their retirement years simply because they want to, the majority of those polled — 61 per cent — said they will do it because they have to. In some cases, people said they will have to work longer simply to be able to pay for basic living expenses.

“Canadian retirement expectations are changing,” said Kevin Dougherty, president of Sun Life Financial Canada. “These results are not surprising given the current economic volatility, increasing consumer debt loads, rising health-care costs, longer life expectancy and lack of planning.” At the same time, the Conservative government in Ottawa is looking to reform the retirement income system, including possibly pushing back the qualifying age for Old Age Security

to 67 from 65. Despite economists’ objections that the system is sustainable, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley insisted this week that inaction threatens future pension beneﬁts and that reforms will be announced in the spring federal budget. In the meantime, Canadians’ debt continues to climb. The most frequently quoted measure of consumer debt — a ratio of debt to personal disposable income

— soared to a record high of 152.98 per cent in the third quarter. That means Canadians carry $1.53 in debt for every dollar they bring home, a fact that has drawn repeated warnings from Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. While the larger part of that debt exists in the form of mortgages, average consumer debt excluding mortgages has also been rising steadily for six and a half years, climbing from

panded the number of directors proposed for Canadian Pacific’s board as part of his ongoing ﬁght to install the CEO of his choosing at the railway, adding Alberta businessman Paul Haggis to the slate. “I am honoured to join this outstanding group of highly respected business leaders in this important effort to restore this icon of Canadian history and pillar of our economy,” Haggis, chairman of Alberta Enterprise Corp., said in a news release issued by Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management. Ackman has been battling the existing CP board, wanting to replace CEO Fred Green with retired Canadian National CEO Hunter Harrison. Pershing Square is CP’s largest shareholder with a 14.2-per-cent stake in the Calgary-based company, and Ackman believes Harrison can make the company more efficient more quickly than Green has proposed. The CP board has backed Green, leading Ackman to launch a proxy ﬁght and a slate that now contains six names: Haggis, the former CEO of Alberta Treasury Branches; Ackman; his business partner Paul Hilal; Rebecca MacDonald, executive chair of Just Energy Group; Anthony Melman, CEO of Nevele Inc.; and Gary Colter, president of corporate restructuring company CRS Inc. With Ackman and Hilal based in the U.S., and the other three nominees from southern Ontario, Haggis adds a Western presence to the slate, which Ackman believes, if elected at the May annual general meeting, will be enough to oust Green and install Harrison. In his news release, Ackman said Haggis’s experience

Her cleft palate and subsequent surgery and recovery held viewers from far and wide rapt for weeks. Picked as one of the top 10 livecams in the world by Earthcam.com, little Keepsake garnered over 200,000 page views to edmontonjournal.com within two months.

TASTE ALBERTA

Cutting it down In the final instalment of our beef series, we look at kebabs, satays, stews and more

edmontonjournal.com Farm-wise, beef is the most labourintensive protein to bring to the table. As such, it’s worth making a special effort with, says Christoph Weder, a rancher of organic Angus from northern Alberta. “The average age of a cow is 18 to 20 months when it goes to slaughter, some up to 27 months. That’s a long time compared to chicken, which are on average 42 days,” says Weder, who along with his wife, Erika, received the Alberta Beef Producers’ 20th Environmental Stewardship Award recently for their commitment to sustainable ranching. Weder and one of his longtime customers, chef Frank Widmer of the Park Hyatt Zurich, have just published a beautiful cookbook — The Cook and the Cowboy — that shows their appreciation for all facets of beef on its journey from pasture to plate (available at spiritviewranch. com). The cuts packaged at the grocery store don’t have to be the final say on how the meat is used, Weder suggests. Steaks and roasts can be taken home and sliced up or cubed to use in kebabs, stir-fries and stews. The key is to match the cut to the appropriate cooking method for best results.

Kebabs “You can take top sirloin steak and cube it up for kebabs. Don’t forget you can ask your butcher to do this,” Weder says. “Go to the full-service case. Some people are intimidated to ask the butcher for help, but that’s why they are there.” Lia Kurylo, professional home economist at ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen, recommends using premium beef cuts for kebabs (atcoblueflamekitchen.com). “Kebabs tend to be something we want to do when we’re entertaining in the backyard. If you were to choose a less-expensive cut of meat, you’re going to end up with really chewy little cubes of meat on a stick,” she says. “You can go to your premium grilling steaks like your rib eyes, tenderloin, sirloin. We can think of kebabs as a cube of steak on a stick.” Because vegetables cook at different rates than meat, Kurylo recommends keeping the meat and vegetables on separate skewers.

potato matches until they are golden brown. Drain the oil and season them with salt. Just before you finish grilling the skewers, put the tomato quarters on the grill and grill them on the skin side. The meat does not need to be well done; it can be slightly red inside. On a platter, place the potatoes in the middle, the skewers on top and decorate with the tomatoes and a bit of the chopped parsley.

Stews

More tips Meat packaged as stewing beef and stir-fry strips can be from all sorts of cuts, leading to inconsistent texture in a cooked meal. “What they are is a combination of meat that is available at that time. It could be round, it could be chuck or blade,” Kurylo says. “You don’t know for sure what the cuts are. We know they will lend themselves to stewing.

and satay strips, skewer the meat and season it. Grill or broil using medium-high heat for five minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink. And serve with dipping sauce, such as Thai peanut. Stew, on the other hand, is not the best place to use premium, tender cuts. The long, slow cooking on low heat requires tougher cuts to create fork-tender, fall-apart results. Stew beef is best cubed from cuts such as shank centre cut, shank centre cut boneless, shank spur, simmering short ribs and simmering short ribs boneless, recommends beefinfo.org, Canada Beef Inc.’s online resource for all things beef. To prepare, cube meat if necessary, then toss to coat in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper. In a lightly oiled Dutch oven or stockpot, brown the meat in batches. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, the meat may steam instead of sear. Searing adds rich flavour and colour to stew. Then, add enough liquid — broth, tomato juice or wine — to just cover the beef. Simmer, covered on stovetop or in a 325 F (160 C) oven for at least an hour or until fork-tender. Add chunks of vegetables and cook for 30 minutes more, or until vegetables are cooked.

If you really want to be sure, you’re better off buying a blade roast or a steak and carving it up yourself.” Kurylo suggests blade and chuck are great choices for stew because they have a lot of the connective tissue that breaks down into gelatin through long, slow cooking at a low heat, making the meat fall-apart tender. Blade and chuck do contain more fat, so a leaner choice would be round meat. Round tenderizes during cooking, but differently, so round will have a different texture than chuck when cooked. Along with appreciating beef by creating a whole meal around it, Weder encourages you to take the time to enjoy it. “Make it an event,” he suggests. “Pair it with a good wine. Beef and red wine fit hand in glove.”

Grilled Skewers from the Hip

Note: Before cooking this recipe, the meat should marinate for 3 to 7 days. While that may sound complicated, it is worth the time invested. Lay the skewers for a couple of hours into cold water, which will prevent the skewers from burning too quickly on the grill. Ensure that the meat is free of tendons, bone and skin. Cut the meat in cubes of 1 oz (30 grams) each. Peel and wash the onion, garlic and tomatoes. Cut the onion and the garlic in half and into thin strips. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. Season the meat cubes with salt, pepper and paprika. Do not season too heavily as the meat will marinate for a while. Thoroughly mix the seasoned meat, the onion, garlic and tomatoes with the parsley and the coriander. Place the meat in a container that can be sealed (otherwise your fridge will smell of onion and garlic). The tomatoes will act as a natural tenderizer. The meat should marinate at least for three days, but can be marinated for up to seven days in the fridge. Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut into thin strips the size of matches. Let them rest in cold water so the starch can come out of the potatoes. Skewer the meat onto the skewers, so that each skewer has the same amount of meat on it. Heat up the grill. Any kind of grill — gas, charcoal or wood — will do. If it rains, you can fry the skewers in a pan as well. Cut the rest of the tomatoes into quarters. In a frying pan with high sides, heat the oil. You will need quite a bit. Deep-fry the well-drained, dried

he scariest place to be on Halloween isn’t a cemetery or haunted house: it’s on the road with an impaired or distracted driver. Safety experts warn that with so many children outside in the dark and many adults attending parties, the consequences of careless driving are even more severe.

As we work our way into autumn and transition from the long days of summer to the short, crisp days of winter, nature-lovers and photographers revel in the season’s beauty. Everywhere you look there is colour and texture. Even in your own backyard you’ll ﬁnd something to ooh and aah over.

“Halloween is really the perfect storm,” says Karen Benner, spokesperson for Allstate Insurance Company of Canada. “You have low light conditions, large groups of excited children in the street, adults who have been celebrating and drivers who may not be paying full attention.” Benner’s fears are not unfounded: recent statistics show that 80 per cent of car collisions are caused by distracted drivers, and 20 per cent of trafﬁc fatalities among children occurred after they ran into the street. According to MADD Canada, four Canadians are killed and 190 are injured each day in impaired driving crashes. “These actions, and their tragic consequences, are 100 per cent preventable,” says Denise Dubyk, national president of MADD Canada. “If you’re hosting a party, provide options for safe travel home directly on the party invitations: public transit, taxi services or having a dedicated designated driver for guests are great options,” says Dubyk. “As a guest, make your feelings about impaired driving known—friends don’t let friends drink and drive.” Parents can help keep their trick-or-treaters safe this Halloween by ensuring they are visible to drivers.

By Rebecca Dika

ou don’t decide to move an 80-year-old hip-roof barn without a lot of thought and consideration. That’s what Lianne and Travis LaValley thought when they began to consider moving an old barn off the land that used to be Lianne’s grandmother’s home. The barn was in good shape, but its days were numbered as the land it sat on was slated for annexation by the City of Grande Prairie. The land hadn’t been in Lianne’s family in years, but the nostalgia and emotional connections were still very strong, she said. When Lianne learned about the barn’s fate, she and hubby Travis “hemmed and hawed” for about a year before they decided to move it. The couple knew their four children would enjoy the barn as much as their great-grandmother had, said Lianne. In fact, it was a family project right from the get-go. All the kids and parents helped with the demolition at the original site, as well as restoring it to its former grandeur at its new home, says Lianne. First to go was an annex that had been built on to the original 20x26 barn by Lianne’s ancestors. It was in poor shape, and would have doubled the moving costs, so it was torn down. A large industrial bin was brought in, and in the end, some five tonnes of garbage was moved out. Though it hadn’t been used by animals in years, it was used for myriad other purposes. Said Lianne, “We found tiles displays, sand bags… you name it, it was there.” Some of the original barn board was salvaged. The barn was moved this past September about 40 kilometres down the road to the LaValley’s farm near Bezanson. Travis spent hours building the perfect foundation. Lianne says he wanted the barn’s new home to be as stable and enduring as the one made some 80 years before, she adds. For Lianne, the barn brings with it many memories of her grandmother, Mary Tissington. “Grandma used to tell us a lot of stories about spending time in the loft as a little girl. It’s very special to me, as she passed on about 13 years ago. With the barn here, I feel her prescence still.” The barn will be home to the warmblood horses the couple raise in partnership with Travis’s parents, Arne and Elaine LaValley. And of course, it is sure to be a central figure in the childhood of the Lavalleys’ four children: Alyssa, 13, Kayla, 11, Cole, 10 and Clay, 6. “A hip-roof barn, some kids and the country,” smiles Lianne. “It’s all good.”

Cowboys go for gold

Edmonton pays big bucks to winners DWAYN E ERI CKSON

Sp e c ial t o Th e Jou rn al

The Canadian Finals Rodeo is the sport’s pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It will pay out $1.37 million, an increase of $50,000 over last year. First in a round in each of the six major events has reached a CFR record $11,004 a night. Think about it. Devon Mezei, a bull rider from Stettler, spent all season working 38 rodeos to muster up $25,588 and end the regular season eighth in the Canadian standings. The 23-year-old, who has been on the rodeo trail for six years, covered 24 of 42 bulls and placed at 17 stops. It was a long, difficult season. But, the effort he put into it will all seem worthwhile on opening night of the CFR if he wins first. The payoff could rocket him to the top of the bull riding leaderboard, eighth to first in eight seconds. That’s how important the CFR has become to the livelihoods of the cowboys and barrel racers. It cost Mezei more than $7,000 just to cover entry fees this year. Throw in travelling expenses and he might have come out of the season clearing about half of what he earned, a tad more $12,000. He can win nearly that much every night here in Edmonton. It’s where the profits for the year mount every time a contestant nods his head. Although Mezei had his best year on the rodeo trail in 2009 when he ended the campaign with nearly $53,000, it is this year that will last longest in his memory bank.

the former Kate Middleton — in Calgary the night before the Stampede. While the Prince was pulling Torkelson’s rope, Kate was immediately behind the chute and standing a tad too close to the bull’s front end. Mezei politely helped her take a step back in case the outlaw threw his head or stuck a horn through the box and gave her a charley horse. “He was just making sure she was safe,” Schiffner explained. “He would have done it for anybody in an unfamiliar situation.”

They all later met officially and talked about the dangers of rodeo. That memorable moment aside,

any one of 35 contestants among the 72 in the six major events have a shot at retaining or capturing the lead in the year-long standings on opening night of the CFR. If a cowboy or barrel racer swept all six rounds and the aggregate, he or she would take home $77,028. That’s more money than the entire CFR paid in the same building 30 years ago. The total purse in 1981 was $74,000. The payoff breakdown with last year’s figures in brackets: First: $11,004 ($10,790); second: $8,182 ($8,023); third: $5,361

($5,256); fourth: $2,539 ($2,490); fifth: $1,129 ($1,106). Fifth place money was added last year to put coin in more contestants’ pockets. The change met its goal. Only seven finalists were shut out compared with 14 the previous year. All contestants in the major events are guaranteed a minimum $2,000. The team ropers, whose event is labelled as a major optional, are still working toward parity, which will occur in 2014. See BIG BUCKS / D4

Bronc riding 101: broken bones, bruised brains and busted teeth CURTI S STOCK

Jou rn al St af f W rit e r

Dustin Thompson of Brooks make an aerial dismount from Fearless Warrior in the Calgary Stampede Saddle Bronc Championship.

Some things in life are probably better forgotten. Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, 2005, Brooks’ saddle bronc rider Dustin Thompson can’t remember at all. He had the lead going into the final performance of that year’s Canadian Finals Rodeo. He had drawn Cool Alley, the rankest bronc of them all. “All I had to do was stay on her and I would have been the champion,” Thompson said of the four-time Canadian and two-time world champion bucking horse. But six seconds into the eight-second ride, Kesler’s Cool Alley threw Thompson over her head. The impact knocked Thompson out cold. A split second later, one of Cool Alley’s hind feet came crashing down on Thompson’s head. Thompson was lucky. He escaped with only a broken jaw. “I could have been killed. To be honest, one way she might have missed me, another way I might have been a statistic. I’ll call it even with a broken jaw. I was fairly lucky. “You always know at the back of your mind that there’s a chance you could be seriously injured. You just hope it doesn’t happen. “Some days are diamonds. Some

days are dust, I guess. You can go from champ to chump in a hurry.” Thompson, 30, doesn’t remember being wheeled out of the arena on a stretcher, blood gushing from inside his mouth. He doesn’t remember being rushed to hospital. He doesn’t remember any of it. His only recall of that day from what people have told him and the television replays he has watched several times. “Maybe some things happen for a

If you get the heebie jeebies thinking about a 635 kilogram animal kicking you in the face, imagine this. When he couldn’t get an appointment to have the wires taken off three days before Christmas, Thompson did it himself. “I got needle-nose pliers and a side cutter. I didn’t think it was going to hurt as much as it did, but I don’t mind saying that it hurt like a son of a bitch. “I didn’t realize just how many

Most professional athletes have insurance to help them out financially when they are hurt. We don’t, and neither do we have a signing bonus. If we don’t ride, we don’t make a cent. Dustin Thompson reason. By not remembering anything, I don’t have to remember losing. “All I know is that it was a very costly day.” Thompson was in hospital for a week and had to have his jaw wired shut for six weeks. “The blow broke the bottom plate of my teeth and folded over the back four teeth on the right side. Doctors put in a set of braces on the top and bottom, pulled my teeth back up and wired them to the bars.”

wires were in there. There were 20 in total: five on each side; top and bottom. “When I got the last one out, I was about to faint. “It was a long morning with my mom trying to break down the door to beat me up and stop me from doing it.” Two weeks later, Thompson was back on the rodeo trail. His first rodeo back he tied for second in Denver, Colo., in the three-head aggregate and won $11,085. It was the

most he had ever won at a regularseason rodeo. That was the worst injury Thompson has had in rodeo, too. But it was hardly the first one. He broke his right leg in Longdale, Nev., when a bronc reared out of the chute and fell on top of him. It snapped his tibia, which tore through his flesh. When his boot and jeans were cut off, Thompson said, “there was blood all over the place.” He’s had three surgeries on his left knee: once in 2003, another time two days after the 2006 Canadian Finals he competed in, and once more last December. Out for three and a half months after the first two knee surgeries – “If you ain’t rodeoing you ain’t making money” — Thompson was out of action for nearly seven months this latest time. “Most professional athletes have insurance to help them out financially when they are hurt. We don’t, and neither do we have a signing bonus. If we don’t ride, we don’t make a cent. “I really don’t think God built our knees for rodeo, at least He didn’t build mine for riding broncs. I had worn out all the cartilage. It was down to bone on bone.”
