DESCRIPTION
THE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY LEAGUE NEWSPAPER: BRITANNIA-YOUNGSTOWN, CANORA, GLENWOOD, HIGH PARK, MAYFIELD & WEST JASPER / SHERWOOD ALSO SERVING THE STONY PLAIN ROAD AND AREA BUSINESS REVITALIZATION ZONE NOVEMBER 2008 VOLUME 1 • ISSUE 6 CIRCULATION 15,000TRANSCRIPT
Yes, this is correct. Stony
Plain Road will be shut down
to vehicle traffic on Saturday
November 29 between the
hours of 6:00 and 10:00 P.M.
Why on earth would this happen
and what can be done about it?
The “why” is Storefront Cinema
Night and what can be done
about it is to enjoy the evening
with neighbours and friends.
Storefront Cinema Night is the first
festival of its kind in Edmonton and
perhaps even the first in Canada.
Either way, you are in for a treat.
If you enjoy, film, video, or the
arts in general, you will definitely
enjoy this festival. The event
route along Stony Plain Road
from 151 street to 154 street will
be blocked to vehicle traffic and
will contain all sorts of festival fun
activities. The focus of which, is
locally produced film shorts from
Edmonton’s Film & Video Arts
Community. Over 50 short films
will be simultaneously projected
onto various storefront windows
of 10 participating businesses on
the festival route. The projections
have been selected and organized
under the professional eye of
Film Curator Patrick Arès-Pilon,
working in conjunction with the
Film and Video Arts Society of
Alberta (FAVA).
Whatever happened to the Drive-
In Theatre? You can reminisce
about those days gone by with your
family while you enjoy a series of
animated family films projected
onto a massive inflatable screen
in Butler Memorial Park (15715
Stony Plain Road) starting at 6
P.M. In keeping with the “green”
theme of the present day, Butler
Memorial Park will be the scene
of a “walk in” theatre as opposed
to the “drive in” theatre of the
50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Beginning at
7 P.M. horse drawn carriage rides
will travel back and forth between
the park location next to the ETS
bus terminal, and the main festival
location encompassing the entire
Storefront Cinema Night event.
Deanna Kayne, the programming
coordinator of FAVA, when asked
about Storefront Cinema Night
stated, “one starry night and 10
media art projections will turn Stony
Plain Road into an outdoor cinema.
Cometakeaneveningstroll likenone
other. Horse drawn carriage rides,
popcorn, bon fires and hot chocolate
to keep you warm on a winter’s
night. And for the late night crowd,
head to one of our local restaurants
or nightclubs along the route.”
The festival organizer Dianne
Kereluk (Stony Plain Road and
Area Business Association), feels
this should prove to be a unique,
entertaining and interesting event
and here are just a few reasons
why. This is a free event open to
the public and a special gift will be
given to the first 500 attendees.
Cutting edge cinema produced by
local artists will be projected onto
10 storefront windows along the
route. While the night air might
be cool, fire pits for your comfort
will be located at several points in
the center of the street. Browse
the many participating retail shops
that will remain open late for your
convenience, some of whom
will be providing complementary
beverages and snacks as well as
discounted merchandise. After the
event, mingle with friends at local
eateries and/or listen to live music
at localvenues/pubsandremember
to show your festival ticket at the
door as many are offering special
discounts for festival goers. The
Storefront Cinema Night festival
will wrap up on Sunday November
30th with a volunteer appreciation
barbeque in Butler Memorial Park
starting at 1 P.M. All are welcome
to get a free smoky or hotdog by
showing your ticket stub from
previous night’s attendance.
Program schedule and location
map can be found in the 8 page
insert located in the center of this
newspaper as well as complete
information about Storefront
Cinema Night including the list of
films, film maker biographies and
much more is available on-line at

Hope to see you there!

Had an interesting call a couple of
weeks ago from a wonderful lady
�>�i` ���à /���>ð �Ì Ãii�à >
friend of hers had mentioned her
(albeit by her maiden name) in
one of the articles in the SPURR
August issue. That friend was
Maxine Hebert who went to
ÃV���� Ü�Ì� ���à �� `>Þà }��i LÞ°
That was a great story and still
available on-line if you have not
Ài>` �Ì° ���à �à > L�} v>� �v ��V>��Þ
produced art, poetry and news
and is a new fan of the SPURR.
We welcome her as a reader and
when you read her poem near the
back of this issue I’m sure you
will welcome her as an author.
/�i V>�� vÀ�� ���à �à �ÕÃÌ ��i �v
many we’ve had in the last couple
of months all of which have stated
kudos for thepaper youare reading
now. We really appreciate all that
support and we welcome all feed
back. We would be even more
pleased to print your story, poem,
or snippet of your experiences in
SPURR communities.
You will notice a heavy theme this
issuedealingwithStorefrontCinema
Night. This incredible festival, which
is the brainchild of Dianne Kereluk
and friends, should prove to be a
monumental experience for Stony
Plain Road and the surrounding
communities. Planning an event of
this magnitude takes tremendous
time and effort, much of which is
done by the unsung heroes called
volunteers. Sherry Fowler of the
Bent Arrow Society is heading up
the volunteer workforce that will
be working tirelessly through out
the event. The SPURR extends its
appreciation to Sherry and all the
volunteers who will make this event
a success. In addition to volunteers,
we want to thank the several
business owners and community
leaders who have been working
behind the scenes at the committee
level making sure all the T’s are
crossed and the I’s dotted. Several
major sponsors along with the two
teams mentioned above have spent
hundreds of hours planning to cover
all the details of this event but none
of that will matter unless you, your
family and friends come out and
support their efforts.
We would like to thank you in
advance formaking this inaugural
event a huge success.

monthduringtheChristmasseason.
This choice works for her, as she is
a professional with no time for tree
trimming and such.
The third choice, which can be
quite a conversation piece during a
Christmas party, is to use an existing
indoor plant or tree that you may
have already hanging around the
house. This could be a Norfolk pine,
or a ficus or a palm tree, etc. They
can look quite funky all decorated
up with little twinkling lights and
lightweight decorations so as not
to damage the branches. I used a
ficus tree for a Christmas tree about
30 years ago when I got my first
apartmentandcouldn’tafforda tree,
and didn’t have the room for one,
frankly. It looked quite homey and
bohemian-like. I decorated it with a
couple strings of mini lights, some
fake apples and birds (which I still
have) and it looked quite festive.
Another option is to purchase a
living Christmas tree in a pot from
your local garden centre, and
eventually plant it in your yard come
Spring. There are many variables
to consider such as where to store
the tree until it can be planted in the
Spring as it cannot be put outside
in the freezing temperatures once
it has broken it dormancy by having
it inside at Holiday time. Should
you choose this option, be sure to
purchase your tree from a reputable
garden centre than can give you
good advice on the care of your
living tree after the Holiday season.
Until next month, happy
indoor gardening.
T H E D I R T Y G A R D E N E R
It may be only mid November, but
many people are already decorating
for Christmas. When it comes to
choosing a tree, we have a few
choices. The first and oldest choice
is a real tree that has been cut down,
usually from a tree farm. These
days this is not a very ecologically
sound choice, and they can be a fire
hazard. I myself have never put up a
real tree as my mother and my son
are allergic to them, and I just can’t
see myself paying for something
that will go into the garbage in a
few weeks, even if it is chipped
up for mulch. As you know from
my previous articles that I’m a true
believer in mulch, but to deliberately
kill a young tree for decoration just
seems wrong somehow.
The second choice is a fake tree
that can look quite nice, and can
last for years and years in a box
in the basement or garage. My
grandparents, Meme and Pepe,
had a silver tree with a multi-
colored spot light illuminating it
in their living room in St. Albert. It
may have been 40 years ago, but
I still remember that tree. Holiday
memories are whatever you make
of them. A friend of mine had one
professionally decorated, and she
keeps it fully assembled all year
long in her storage room, covered
in a sheet, taking it out for about a
MICHELE HEBERT
N O T E S F R O M T H E D R A G O N F L Y D E N
especially with the Holiday
season coming up. Spend time,
not money, with your family or
neighbours or community to
reconnect with those around
you. A great and inexpensive
way to do this is by joining in
for the Cinema Night on Stony
Plain Road on November 29th
(details in this issue). Make it a
family night. Dress warm and
meet your neighbours. A sense
of “community” is a sense of
security, and these days we need
all the security we can get.
Something to think about.
The past couple of months have
been hard on almost everyone
financially. The stock market has
all but crashed, the Canadian
loonie has nose-dived, and I’m
worried about my retirement
funds. Perhaps this is a good
time to take a good hard look at
what is really important in your
life, and gear down on spending,
MICHELE HEBERT
Charles Chaplin was a master of
Slapstick comedy. He conveyed
through body movement, facial
expression and sheer usage of
stage to portray a story. Back in
the early years of film, stars like
Chaplin and Mary Pickford captured
the country by storm with their
delightful visual antics. It was the
early rough start to film. Did the
audience get it? Yes... In full form.
Audiences flocked to these early
films to revel in the silent story
telling of what they were viewing.
My grandmother, Marguerite
->L�ÕÀ�� �ii �>,�Û�iÀi® Ü>à >
mere seventeen years of age when
she, along with her family moved
from the U.S. to Edmonton. Her
father, failing in health, was told
by a doctor in the U.S. to move to
a cooler, drier climate. Hence, my
grandmother’s career began at the
tender age of seventeen at the
Dreamland theatre in downtown
Edmonton. She played piano to
silent movies in part to support her
family after the move.
My grandmother was a child
prodigy, having mastered piano at
an early age. She was earmarked
for Europe to study under a master,
but this was not to be the case. She
met in Alberta my grandfather, Dr.
Severin Sabourin and gave birth
to fifteen children, my mother
one of them. My grandmother’s
best memories of her youth was
actively playing the piano live to the
silent films of the day. The reason,
she stated, was that the audience
would react to her subtle innuendos
of music leading up to each scene.
My mother recalls as a child how
she and her siblings listened raptly
while her mother played piano
to silent movies in their parlour.
Grandmother always had her eyes
on the screen as she musically
described each onscreen moment
through her fingertips.
Storefront Cinema Night, on
November 29, from 7-10 P.M. on
Stony Plain Road will showcase
many of Edmonton’s talented
film artists. You’ll be able to view
the films and create your own
soundtrack by watching the silent
stories of these film unfold before
you. This event is in part, a way to
transform the Stony Plain and area
as well as build community and
culture. Please come out and join
us at this fabulous first time event!

Coming Soon to Heritage Valley SW Edmonton
I was born right here, in Jasper Place.When you knew everyone, by their face.
Jasper Place, was a small community then.In the two schools, you used a straight pen.
On the top of your desk, a hole held your ink.In our school, the teachers taught us to think.
Going to these two schools was so much fun.For when you were here, you knew everyone.
Then they later built a new high school too.Now you could go from grade 1, right thru.
From these old schools, great people came.Going to university, some would find fame.
H.E. Shacker, was principal, he knew what to do.He was our children’s principal at Britannia too.
In 1942, Mom and Dad built a home on 156 Street.Having paved roads anywhere, really was a treat.
Stony Plain Road was built, with gravel high.Between the six foot ditches people passed by.
There were a few restaurants and a couple bars.At this time, there weren’t many people with cars.
On Stony Plain Road, between 155 and 156 Streets.��«iÀ�>� �Õ�LiÀ �>` > Ã>Ü ����] �Ì Ü>à Ài>��Þ �i>Ì°
Across the street from us, was a riding academy.They had many animals and small horses to see.
Hay’s Academy had a rodeo each year.For our garden, my parents would fear.
The horses broke out and crossed the street.Catching them again, sometime was a feat.
Jasper Place seemed to be out of town.On 148 Street the buses turned around.
We wore Jasper Place Oxfords, rubber boots.They were changed on a bench, outside Chutes.
Getting on the bus with boots just wasn’t done.We had to wear shoes into the City, for our fun.
��À �>�Þ Þi>Àà Üi �>` Ì�i ��>���` Õà ���i°Having the bus come out this far, was just fine.
We had our own police officers that worked here.This was a safe place to live and they had no fear.
The Town Office basement held some cells too.Jasper Place was small and everyone knew you.
With our own equipment, good were our roads.Snow was removed with trucks, in large loads.
Then they moved to bus to 157 Street, a turn around.From here, anywhere in Edmonton, you were bound.
In 1963, the Saxony Hotel, bought our home.Now to Red Water, Mom and Dad did roam.
The City amalgamated with Jasper Place in 1964.Now for our little town, this opened another door.
About this time, they built a big new high school.On 163 Street and 89 Avenue, it was really cool.
My Dad was a mason of brick, stone and block.His company built this school, as solid as a rock.
It was the biggest school between B.C. and Ontario.With so many students, some had a long way to go.
They needed a new high school, this was very clear.Our children, Connie and Jim, went to school here.
I’ve lived here, in Jasper Place, all of my life.Our home for 50 years, since I became a wife.
My years in Jasper Place are kept in my memory.So many of these things, we will never again see.
I am happy, for my many memories of Jasper Place.This area has grown up, with a new look and grace.
It’s not finished growing yet, as you can see.In the future, we don’t know what there’ll be.
