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

JIM WOOLEY

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

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.
