CITY REGION LAUREN BOOTHBY The Dutch Canadian Club Edmonton installed a statue of Anne Frank at an Old Strathcona park on Sunday, in part to thank the Canadian military for its role in freeing the Netherlands from Nazi occupation during the Second World War. The bronze statue of the world-famous diarist now stands atop a marble plinth at Light Horse Park 86 Avenue and Calgary Trail. It was made with the same cast used by Dutch sculptor Pieter to create an Anne Frank statue in 1960 for the Netherlands city of Utrecht. Club president Frank Stolk grew up in the Netherlands after the war and heard stories about the Canadian army.

is a gratitude that is forever ingrained in our he said in an interview Saturday. Dutch schoolchildren still maintain the graveyard of the Canadians in the Netherlands they put owers there, they burn little candles on the anniversary Besides honouring the sacri ce, Stolk said the club chose to commission a statue of Frank because she represents the good in people. undertone of her writing was that she always believed that humanity would prevail and be stronger than he said. in atmosphere and the anti-Semitism, and the gloom all over the world, with Trumpism in America, we hope this will give everybody an opportunity to say, we should ght for our freedom, we should ght for democracies everywhere we Stolk said he hopes when people see it they re ect on what freedom truly means. In case, the Jewish diary survived but she did not, dying in a Nazi concentration camp after her hiding spot was discovered by the Gestapo.

all wars (even now) people are in hiding and being massacred and slaughtered and tortured, so we should not worry that we could not go to a bar for a year and a half. should re ect on how good our life is in he said. have to be vigilant that our democracy is always at The statue has a bar code people can scan with their phones to read about Anne Frank. The plaque also has information in English, Dutch and French. It was unveiled in a ceremony Sunday afternoon that included music and poetry, and presentations by Dutch and Jewish organizations and by military, city and provincial cials.

The event was initially planned for last year to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation, but was delayed because of the pandemic. twitter.com/laurby Dutch club unveils statue in thanks to military A statue of Anne Frank is unveiled Sunday at Light Horse Park. The bronze work was installed by the Dutch Canadian Club. IAN KUCER A A tooth of former Edmonton Oilers coach Glen Sather fell out while gol ng at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club last week, and it looked like he might have to miss a VIP reception. Already at the Toast of the Town fundraiser he was to attend was Karen Percy, wife of the honoured guest, Kevin Lowe.

She quietly told good friends she is to become the Honorary Colonel of the 20th Canadian Artillery Regiment. The smartest-dressed man at the $500-a-plate sold-out gala was family physician Dr. Randy Gregg, who helped the Oilers win ve Stanley Cups. He was the only person wearing a tie. too early to say how much we raised at our Cross Cancer Institute (CCI) said Barrie Sta ord, who retired in 2019 after 38 years in various positions with the Oilers.

we hope to raise more than Sta ord and his buddy Brian Anstice organized the event with members of the newly-formed Cure Cancer Foundation, and they requested that funds go to the research of born-and-raised Edmontonian Dr. Michael Chu. Both Sta ord and Anstice have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and while Sta illness has been in remission for 10 years since a stem-cell transplant, his friend continues to battle the blood-borne bone cancer. Chu, 36, who attended the event, did his medical research at the University of Alberta. His career focus has shifted to immunology after a combined clinical and research fellowship at Stanford University.

He is currently practising at the CCI and leading the development of a clinical trial to treat leukemia and lymphoma. Sather, for any recent Alberta arrivals, led the Edmonton Oilers to ve Stanley Cup wins as a coach and general manager. He was instrumental in attracting talented players, including Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Lowe. To remedy his tooth problem, Sather called Oilers team dentist Dr. Ben Eastwood, who saw him immediately.

He made it in time for the VIP reception, where Percy caught up with old friends while husband Kevin spoke to nearly every guest at the Mayfair Dinner Theatre event. Lowe told guests it was a for him to leave the section of land he is developing in B.C.’s Shuswap country to come and help raise funds to ght cancer. are going well with the he said. there is still a bunch of red tape to go through before we can make sales, probably at the end of the Lowe, now alternate governor of the Oilers Entertainment Group, was praised for his community work, but there were also interesting playing-days insights. Glenn Anderson, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008, told of Sather taking to task four Oilers players who appeared late for a practice in Los Angeles.

Lowe told me later he know if Sather was trying to pun ish or embarrass him, along with Me ssier the late Da ve Semenk and Curtis Brackenbury. had arrived late for a practice and were ordered to walk up and down the arena stairs with our gear and skates on while the rest of our team sat in the stands and Lowe says. later had to take laps around the rink on skates that were then hard to turn on. really did bring home the importance of practice to the four of us. We were never late for practice again.

Glen taught us, and many other young players, to be more There was much interest when MC Ron MacLean cleverly led a discussion of a 2007 signing incident, when platform guest Brian Burke, then the Anaheim general manager, accused Lowe of escalating salaries for young players and ered to st ght him in a barn. There still seemed to be animosity between the two, but Stafford noted Burke had own in for the gala honouring Lowe. And Lowe had been the rst person to phone Burke and console him in 2010 following the car crash death of 21-year-old son Brendan. Craig MacTavish, who coached the Oilers from 2000 to 2009 and was the last NHL player not to wear a helmet during games, spoke warmly of Lowe, saying his friend treated everyone the same. matter if the person is the street or the Queen, Kevin respects everyone MacTavish said.

(Lowe once sat next to Her Majesty at a reception.) A suit by clothier Sam Abouhassan, a longtime friend of helped kick an auction. It was bought by pro-hockey-playing son Keegan for $5,250. A dinner at Chris Steak House ered by owner Brendan Connolly sold twice for $10,500. The best-selling item was a weekend for four at the Green Bay Full Scholarship Game-day experience, which sold for $30,000. It included the company of famed equipment manager Red Batty, a three-night hotel stay and a $2,000 travel voucher.

Topping the evening and scoring well, were video messages from Gretzky and Messier, captured by renowned producer Don Metz.
