EDMONTON JOURNAL SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 2004 B5 CITYPLIIS Ice sculptor won gold medal at 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics history you saw in people's faces. He has a marvelous sense of observation." Bradford Green said Evans was also known as the king of swat, since he was pivotal in shaping the mosquito control program for Edmonton before such programs were the norm. "He expanded the use of every Edmontonian's backyard," Bradford Green said. "He was a happy man and he always saw the bright side of life." A man generous with smiles, Evans loved hot rods and was a member of the Edmonton Street Rod Association. Evans rebuilt a red 1939 Oldsmobile four-door sedan.

Painted dragons in the windows had eyes that would flash when the alarm system went off, said long-time friend Gary Paul. "He was hugely talented," Paul said. "He was a super friend and he's going to be missed big time." Coun. Ed Gibbons said Evans was dedicated to his wife and three daughters and kept the homefrontwarm in St. Albert while his wife was busy with politics.

"He was just a down-to-earth guy," he said. jsinnemathejournal.canviest.com CRASH Continued from Bl Evans and his wife were accomplished ice sculptors. They won a gold medal in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and represented Canada in three international competitions. Evans carved ice dragons and birds in Sir Winston Churchill Square for First Night festivals on New Year's Eve. "He so enjoyed people," Bradford Green said.

"He enjoyed stories. He always said the older you got, the more stories you had and the more 1 9 i These words are nutritious.

Juno merchandise is hot LEES Continued from Bl Stars drank the place dry Visiting bands and roadies drank the Crowne Plaza Chateau Lacombe dry, reports general manager Paul Stephens. But we're not talking hard booze. "We ordered gallons of soy milk, but every last drop was consumed," he reports.

"We had to put in a rush order for more." Stephens adds: "Another surprise was how well young singers and their musicians and crews eat. I thought there might be a run on fast food, such as burgers and fries. But I was wrong. Fresh fruit and veggies were the hot items." Going, going, gone Delighted to be proved Juno-wrong is Jim Taylor, Downtown Business Association executive director. "Tourism sent us 100 shopping bags with welcome kits, which included posters and blinking buttons," he said.

"They were to go to retailers and restaurants and I thought we'd have a hard time moving them. "But they were so well received they were gone in 24 hours and we had to ask for more. They took off like crazy." Taylor said the Junos largely come in a pre-packaged box from the East and Joe Average and his wife don't get a chance to rub shoulders with the stars. "Even if people aren't getting into the closed parties, they are really excited," he said. "Many lounges and restaurants have got behind the Junos and have brought in their own entertainment." Flashing for Edmonton The flashing buttons sent to retailers and restaurateurs were already big when Aboriginal Affairs Minister Pearl Calahasen wore one into the legislature Thursday.

"I've been mobbed by MLAs who now want one," said Ken Fiske, our Economic Development Edmonton's vice-president of events and motion pictures. "One local mother called me to say her daughter's had been stolen and could she get another one." The battery-driven buttons, which bear the Juno logo, aren't in short supply. "We anticipated the demand," said Fiske. "We had 10,000 made." He estimated the Junos would reap Edmonton an economic benefit of between $4 million and $5 million. "But the real economic benefit will be the long-term effects of some 2.2 million Canadians seeing Edmonton profiled on national television," he said.

City of Champions (continued) Edmonton marathoner Sandy Jacobson runs Sunday in Rotterdam with a heart set on qualifying for the Athens Olympics in August. "Sandy knows all about the Junos and would like to call home with good news before ceremonies begin here," said Bob Steadward, who represents Jacobson and spoke to her by telephone Friday. You're never too old to rock Talk this week was that the Junos were really for young people familiar with the music and stars who would win awards. Not so, was the opinion of more than 500 people who turned out Thursday at the Arts Barns for a Juno bash hosted by the Urban Lounge's Tim Fuhr, the Old Strathcona Business Association president, and Fringe Theatre Adventures. "A good beat is timeless and is appreciated by all," said Fuhr.

Alexander also had singed hair and blisters on this left hand. The fire caused panic and chaos for residents of the apart-mentbuilding. One woman jumped outher fourth-floorwin-dow into the arms of several Edmonton Eskimos football players who also lived in the building. The heroic tale made headlines across North America.

Firefighters found a woman sitting in the bedroom of suite 410. They helped her climb out a window and down a fire truck's aerial ladder. Amy Watt, who lived in suite 408, also had to be rescued. She testified Friday that she was sitting in her living room when she heard an explosion. "I saw flames come under my door," Klatt said.

"They crawled across the carpet. 1 just jumped up." She waited anxiously in her bedroom for about 15 minutes until firefighters put the ladder up to her window and she was able to climb to safety. The trial continues Monday. cpurdythejournal.canwest.com fv 'sjl. sjui.saap "4.
