Located in the heart of the Stony Plain Rd business district, the Edmonton Children’s Dance Theatre is once again preparing for another busy season. This performing arts school offers classes in mom and me, pre-school, tap, ballet, jazz, modern, lyrical, hip hop, musical theatre, drama, tumbling, and rhythmic gymnastics. Don’t let the name fool you; adult classes in tap, ballet, jazz and hip hop are offered as well. The dance theatre takes pride in offering all students the opportunity to participate in show work,
competitions and festivals, auditions, conventions, workshops, and attend performances by local and traveling performing arts groups. This past year, students experienced a wide variety of performing opportunities including a tribute to Hollywood, the musical “Peter Pan” and the acrobatic filled production of “Jester”. In December, 12 young dancers were chosen to play Munchkins and Winkies in the Edmonton engagement of “The Wizard of Oz” national tour. Most recently students danced live on —- radio!

Students and parents were given the opportunity to enhance their training through a number of traveling conventions and at studio sponsored events. The Dance Theatre was thrilled to have renowned flexibility specialist Alixa Sutton come to Edmonton to work with the dancers. Additional workshops included Rhythmic Gymnastics, belly dance, ballroom and make-up. The first Skills Olympics was held in the spring and students from 3 to “way older” showed off their technical abilities.
The Summer with the Arts dance camps were very successful and finished with a fun filled day at the Fringe Festival. The upcoming year is bound to be just as busy as performing artists young and old dance, sing, act and celebrate their passion. The 20th Anniversary season commences September 6th.

“I'm leaving on a jet plane, barring unexpected delays, know exactly when I'll be back again.“ Obviously long gone are the days when one needs a desk to get something written. I've done an editorial on a smartphone at City Hall, and now on an Android powered tablet on a flight out of town. Exciting times for us geeks. September also tends to be a happening time locally, as events take place and community groups
return, along with civic decision makers, from a summer hiatus. The September issue of the SPURR, however, is put together in August, a month when almost nothing seems to happen, so let's talk about what's coming up in September and into this fall (yes, only a couple more issues until you'll be dusting snow off the SPURR while taking it out of the mailbox ;). On the decision making front, on September 7th, City Council's Executive Committee will debate whether or not to recommend the allocation of funds for the creation of statutory Area Redevelopment
Plans for Glenwood, Canora, West Jasper Place and BritanniaYoungstown. The report to committee is available at Edmonton.ca. On September 10th, the Glenwood Community League will be holding “Party in the Park” and expanding the festivities to include a street-hockey tournament for all-ages, and amongst the events happening in Canora is a “meet the police” night scheduled for the Canora Community Hall on September 20th. Check out the community news section and the Canora Park Watch update for more info and listings of community news and events.

Where has the summer gone???? It is "Back to School" already and we feel like we missed a whole two months. Canora Park Watch would like to thank everyone who came out to our Safety Fair. We really appreciate the effort made by everyone from Alberta Health, the many City of Edmonton departments, the various other organizations who took time out of their busy schedules to spend the afternoon, as well as our own volunteers. Thank you all for a great job. It is always rewarding to see residents come out and take part in the events that are held at St. Anne Park. Canora Park Watch will be holding our 2nd Meet the Police night on September 20 at the Canora Community Hall, 10425 152 St, from 7:00PM to 8:30PM. Come out and get the latest crime statistics, the newest trends and find out how we can assist the police in protecting our community. We are hoping to have the entire Stony Plain Road Beat Team out, as well as the divisional Superintendant and Inspector. There will be short presentations
followed by a question and answer period. Come out a show your support for the Police Department and let them know that we appreciate all of the work that they do for us. Refreshments will be served. Join us for an informative evening.
Easter Egg Hunt in April, and our 5th annual Mini-Carnival toward the end of May. Enjoy the lovely fall colours that we are always blessed with.

FEELING SAFE WORKING GROUP The summer of 2011 draws to a close and while we enjoy these last days of sunshine and warmth, the reality of back to work and school routines take over.

THE DIRTY GARDENER
ers used early in the Spring are likely depleted by now. Give pots a weekly feeding, reducing the dosage to half-strength. MICHELE HEBERT
Late Summer and early Fall can seem very dreary and daunting to a gardener; plants are looking a little weary and droopy by this time and could use some perking up. A suggestion to keep your gardening spirits up is to replace some of the worn out annuals in your pots and garden beds with plants such as chrysanthemums or lilies bought from your local garden center. The chrysanthemums will likely end up in the compost heap, but the lilies can be transplanted into your garden beds around early October, or at least three weeks before the soil frosts up. The mums and lilies give a fresh look to the pots with a burst of color. Now is the time to revive some of your plants with a good haircut,

and they should last into the late fall, barring frost. Trim back your trailing annuals such as petunias, alyssium, lobelia, etc. by about one half to one third. Nip off spent blooms from plants such dahlias, geraniums, marigolds, nasturtiums, salvias, verbenas and zinnias. Remove the entire
flower head, not just the petals, otherwise the plant won't produce new flower heads. They may look a little forlorn for about a week, but will bounce back with new blooms. Also, pots may need more watering this time of the season and require more plant food as the time-released fertiliz-
An update to my tip in July's issue about using coffee grounds to repel slugs - it doesn't work. I think the caffeine caused the slugs to just eat my plants faster. They totally decimated my sunflowers at an alarming rate. I believe I will try insecticidal diatomaceous earth next year. I know that works, as I've used it before with good results. I thought I would save a few cents with recycled coffee grounds, but I know better now. Untll October, Happy Gardening.

AN ODD AUGUST STORY SLAM AT THE HAVEN SOCIAL CLUB MATHEW WHITE
http://westedmontonlocal.ca/2011/08 /an-odd-august-story-slam-at-thehaven-social-club/
An unusually small crowd made their way into the Haven Social Club Wednesday night for the August session of the Edmonton Story Slam Society. Photo by Mathew White
Only seven out of a possible 10 writers braved the stage, in a night that had stories both morbid and hilarious. Whether it was homicidal nurses from Winnipeg or waging a war against mosquitoes and garlic, there was no telling where the next story would take the audience. Liam Shaw delivers his first-place story “My Struggle (Not in German) during the August story slam held at the Haven Social Club on Wednesday, August 17, 2011. The Edmonton Story Slam Society is an organization dedicated to providing local writers the chance to share their work in front of a live audience. For the majority of the first half Shilo Neveu held onto first place with a travel tale involving lava-shower water. But right before the break, Liam Shaw took a commanding lead with a story about a man carrying an unfortunate last name. Shaw came close to losing the lead when Adam Snider delivered the last story of the night – which was about a man who improperly disposed of porno – but Shaw held on by a margin of less than one point. S P U R R SEPTEMBER 2011
“This is the largest prize I’ve ever won,” said Shaw after accepting his $128 cash prize. “For a guy that’s got the mice and the cockroaches in his apartment, shit man, that’s a lot of food.” This is Shaw’s second time reading at the story slam, but he’s no stranger to the trade. He started going to story and poetry slams years ago while living in Ireland. He said he also recently came in second place during a story slam at the Blue Chair Cafe here in Edmonton. Although he’s had one story published, Shaw by no means considers himself a professional writer. He said he just does it for fun. “I’ve been published once but I didn’t get paid for it, so it doesn’t completely count,” said Shaw. Wednesday night’s winning story was called “My Struggle (Not in German)”, and although it may have seemed like a true story, Shaw said it wasn’t. He did, however, use certain locations and aspects of his life in the story. “I tried to make it as realistic as possible,” said Shaw. 5

TOD and Infill Guidelines Impact on West Jasper Place: After our recent meeting with Planning on July 19th, 2011, we were given a map detailing the areas affected by TOD (transit oriented development). The impact was worse than what we had been told. We also marked the properties affected by the infill guidelines. According to our analysis, we could lose up to 62% of our single detached houses to redevelopment for apartments and multi-family
BUSINESS
dwellings! That would reduce our single family dwellings to only 13% and the multi-family dwellings (including apartments) to 87%! This is completely unacceptable. It will not only destabilize our community, but destroy its character and history. City council and planning have an obligation to enforce our Newman's Resolution. DEEP SEWER As many residents along 151 Street are aware there is a deep sewer that runs down the center of the street. The city is underway with upgrading the sewer. It will begin at 92 Avenue and head north to 99 Avenue, at which time it turns east and continues to the Gold Bar water treatment plant. This project begins September, 2011 and will be approximately 2 years in duration, depending on ground conditions. North and south bound traffic along 151 Street for approximately 40 meters south of 99th Avenue, and east bound traffic along 99th Avenue for approximately half a block west of 151st Street will be blocked for the project operations. New infrastructure in this area will be delayed until the project is complete. Further information may be obtained by phoning: Junhao Zou, Project Manager, Drainage Services, at 780-944-0039

Yes, we are a group of people that desire to build a stronger and safer Edmonton by developing healthy relationships with all members of our community. The JP HAWC operates a program that works with marginalized men and women who are unable to live independently. Staff proceed to work with clients of the centre in: overcoming addictions, healing physically, mentally and spiritually, putting together a short-term plan, finding employment and transportation as well as finding housing.
15210 - Stony Plain Road
Interview with: Terri Wagner - Administration Sue Rounding - Family and Community Group Hi Terri, The main goal for the JP Health & Wellness centre sounds like it encompasses 2 parts - infrastructure and people, can you elaborate…
The first part of our goal includes the use of our 4000 sq foot space to serve those that drop in. The centre itself provides showers, laundry services, access to computers with internet (local fax and limited hrs phone use), legal advice, budgeting help, food, clothing exchange, storage and medical services, all for free. We are open 9am - 5 p.m. Monday to

Thursday. We provide a soup lunch at 12p.m. most days and have extended hours during the “winter warming” program. The services we provide are essential to accomplish our objectives. Many of the clients are very hungry and need to eat before they can cope with other problems. They often require counseling, someone to advocate for and with them, and staff support and follow-up. Secondly, we run a Housing First program. This is a proven “client-centered” approach to ending homelessness in major urban areas. It reaches out to homeless people via outreach workers who connect with the homeless population with the sole purpose of helping them secure and maintain Housing. Clients are offered a choice of housing which meets their specific needs and then a support worker provides on going
support for a year, leading the person to independence. Housing First offers “end to end” support to people so that their frequency of becoming homeless is diminished, and, over time their ability to maintain a permanent home increases.
Housing First: People in need of housing can speak to an intake worker on Monday mornings at 9am. The program offers a variety of support to help clients move from living on the street into having their own apartment. Clients must sign a housing agreement -agreeing that they will be the only one staying in their

suite and must agree to being supported by a worker for one year after they become housed. Winter warming program: The harsh winters in Edmonton mean that many homeless people suffer with the cold and the Winter Emergency Response Plan is a means to equip agencies with the resources they need to provide shelter, warmth, food and comfort during the long winter months. The Winter Emergency Committee was set up several years ago by Homeward Trust to lead a community planning process to develop a functional and feasible Winter Emergency Response Plan. In the past the program ran from November 1st to April 30th, but each year the program going forward is dependant upon the availability of provincial government funding.

The Jasper Place Health and Wellness Centre is a community based, community driven non-profit agency that endeavours to be an asset to the community. “JP HAWC” was founded in 2006 in response to the needs that were brought forward by the community. You seem to have a busy role here at your office! Can you talk a bit about what you do here? I make myself available to the clients that 'drop in' looking for practical help and support. I run the day to day operations of the office as well as providing a variety of support to clients. I assist people with resume writing, faxing, and job searches. I also do a lot of tax returns for low income individuals and families. I never know from one day to the next what my day will bring, every-
thing from simple tax returns to advocating for clients or referring them to other helping organizations.
What has been your personal experience working here at the Centre?
The Centre works together with Homeward Trust in providing clients with some employment opportunites, namely cleaning apartments between tenants, working at the furniture bank, etc. Many of the folks you see here daily are our wonderful volunteers.
I started in January of 2010. I'm not the same person I was when I first started working here. My whole perspective on poverty has changed. I see that it's important to keep loving and supporting the person regardless of the outcome. The Housing First program does enable this

Back to School & Safe Communities The days are getting shorter, and “Back to School” commercials have begun to dominate our television sets. I cannot believe how fast the summer season flew by this year! I was lucky enough to join the students and faculty at a variety of the schools in my constituency in celebrating the end of the 2010-2011 school year at their farewell celebrations in May and June. I also had a number of coffee parties at senior’s facilities includ-ing Meadowcroft, McQueen, Groat House, Canora Place and St. Andrew’s. As our children begin to walk back to schools in our neighbourhoods, their safety is of utmost importance and that is why the Alberta government is continuing its vision of building safe and strong communities. The Crime Prevention Framework is Alberta’s strategic roadmap for crime prevention and sets out a shared approach that all Albertans can use to design and integrate new and existing crime prevention initiatives throughout the province. It emphasizes the shared responsibility involved in crime prevention and the need for cooperation among individuals, families, neighbourhoods, municipalities, community-based service deliv-ery agencies, the private sector, and all levels of government. A good example of this collaboration is the Neighbourhood Empowerment Team which is now working in the Inglewood community. To further reduce and prevent crime, four community organizations from Edmonton are benefitting from the Government of Alberta’s Safe Communities Innovation Fund: · The Relentless Youth Outreach Worker Project (YOUCAN Edmonton): $1.4 million; · Taking Shelter With Literacy (Literacy Alberta and Further Education Society of Alberta): $1 million; · Building a Safer Community Through Inclusive Learning (Edmonton Public Library Board): $605,402; · Young Educated Long-term Leaders (YELL) Girls Group (iHuman Youth Society): $100,000. In addition to the exciting You Can announcement, I also had the pleasure of enjoying many other excellent summer events around the Edmonton-Glenora constituency, including the Canora Community League Mini Carnival, the Britannia/Youngstown Kids on Track Family Picnic, the opening of Brentwood Apartments which are funded through the housing capital initiative, Canada Day at Norquest College and the Capital Ex Safeway breakfast. I would like to take this opportunity to wish students, parents, teachers and principals the best of luck in beginning another successful school year. As a parent I am very aware of the incredible job teachers do and ap-preciate all of their efforts and dedication. Have a fantastic 2011-2012 year!

process. We see people relapse and need to be re-housed, but we work with the client and the landlord to work through these issues. It has had an effect on my faith as I'm able to, on a daily basis, live my faith by loving “the least of these”. We know that we do this work not in our own strength. There is a reward for small victories we see in people's lives, “glimmers” such as people sharing with you their amount of 'clean time' or that they 'got the job' you were supporting them to pursue. If we'd like more information on the Centre's programs, staff, history, the Housing First Program, etc, where do we find that? The “story” of how the Jasper Place Health + Wellness Centre began, how clients are being helped as well as about the Centre's mission to provide housing in the City of Edmonton can be found on the website: www.jphawc.ca A volunteer of the Jasper Place Health and Wellness Centre: “There are many ways our church and it's members have served the Centre over the last few years. Giving financially is part of our annual budget. We have held drives for underwear and socks as well as participated in a fundraiser with the book “Christmas Chaos” (in which Sue Rounding shares a story about S P U R R SEPTEMBER 2011
her experiences one Christmas at the centre). We also collect pennies from our members which go toward the purchase of ETS bus tickets! Individuals also donate their time, money and gently used clothing to JP Health & Wellness. Our church is part of a group of 4 churches which regularly provide hot meals on Saturday nights from January to March. Meal serving, which seems like a small gesture by ourselves, is so appreciated by others. One night we had a quantity of fruit available to provide for dessert especially grapes! That night there was a single father with 2 young sons. I watched as the boy's eyes lit up like saucers when they saw all the fruit - the one boy proceeded to come back to his table with nothing but grapes on it! He was so thrilled and happy, and he contentedly munched away on his grapes for several minutes. I learned a lot that night. ..I have learned far more from the clients of the Centre than I have provided to them”. John Campbell - Hosanna Lutheran and Chairman of the West Edmonton Interfaith Coalition on Poverty WEICOP
Terri and Sue, can you fill us in a bit more about the volunteers who help out at the centre? Terri: People from all walks of life volunteer here. We have the support of many churches in the west end as well as youth groups, businesses and individuals who live in the local community. Also, people who have been
We also have practicum students on a regular basis, such as 3rd year nursing (mental health speciality) and social work (aboriginal studies). For those needing to do 'community hours' for infractions with the law, we provide a non-judgemental atmosphere. We find that given the opportunity, many who have been on a 'hard path' turn their life around with support. Sue: On a day to day basis, people come and help out with preparing or serving lunch, (in the winter: supper is also served for the warming program) or sit and visit/ play cards with clients, sort donations. Our coffee is always on - bring anything to go with coffee! Often clients' of the centre are in need of emergency essentials such as toiletries or dry, easy to pack foods. These items are very welcome for our pantry and clothing area. We have various fund raisers and a huge Christmas Party every year. The centre is open to everyone. We need this place painted! Things like that, I would like to see. Your personal experience…. We are not here to scold or preach. When people come in, they need to trust you before they will listen to you. Because of dysfunction that has occurred in their lives, we are the place for people to have meaningful relationships “we're IT…” It helps me to realize the supportive relationships and family that I am blessed with. Can you tell us about the Family and Community Group, how it started and it's mission?
We began to see the need to be of support to the many neighbourhood Moms and Mom's to be who have low incomes and are often single parenting. So with the Health for 2 program, the Family group was born. It's mandate, along with building relationships, is “building stronger families”. We meet every Thursday from 11am 1p.m. @ Fusion Fellowship Church - just west of us. They graciously donate this space to us each week. Lunch is provided as well as a childrens' play area. Guest speakers from various helping agencies and organizations offer various life skill information and support such as: baby and personal heath care, financial, relationships, dietitian/car seat safety, etc. Through Hf2 we also facilitate a “We-can” food co-op for the parents and provide cooking lessons. There are visits from the librarian and information on local recreation, arts and community happenings they can be a part of. Do you need specific volunteers for your group? Yes! We have volunteers who help with lunch set up or tear down (make drinks/prepare snacks/clean) and those who help provide activities with our children. We can always use more hands to help on an ongoing basis! Ongoing practical needs for this group are baby items/supplies, diapers/formula. Funds to purchase these items or to be able to take the group on recreational outings. We hope to be making a positive influence by building up our kids for the next generation and contribute to the overall health of the community. Everyone is welcome to join us as we reach out to local families. Thank you Sue and Terri for sharing with us all about the Jasper Place Health & Wellness Centre and it's programs!
