The Alberta government has released a mobile fire ban app so people across the province can be aware of the wildfire risk.

The new app, available for An-droid and Apple devices, will

give people mobile access to see where there are fire bans, restric-tions and advisories to help plan their camping and recreational experiences.

Keeping people informed of fire bans will help them plan their summer activities safely, whether in their backyards or in Alberta’s parks and natural areas.

“It is vital that Albertans be

aware of any bans or restrictions throughout the province if they intend to enjoy our beautiful backcountry. This mobile app gives Albertans another way to help prevent human-caused wild-fires and keep our firefighters free to fight other wildfires that may occur.” - Oneil Carlier, Min-ister of Agriculture and Forestry

Eco-Buffers are diverse, high-density shelterbelts that look and act like natural forest. While giving shelter from wind for homes and livestock, these dense plantings also help protect water quality and provide prime habitat for pollina-

tors. The counties of Lac Ste. Anne and Parkland are working together to host an Eco-Buffer Workshop on Monday, June 4th.

The Eco-Buffer concept was de-veloped by agroforestry research-ers in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, home of the federal shelterbelt pro-gram. With careful attention to de-sign and selection of native species to suit the site, Eco-Buffers can be-

come self-sustaining, needing little maintenance.

Leading the workshop is Luke Wonneck of the Agroforestry and Woodlot Extension Society (AWES). The day begins at Rosen-thal Hall with a presentation on the benefits of Eco-Buffers and steps for their design. Looking at air pho-tos of their own property, partici-pants will assess the potential for Eco-Buffers on their land. In the af-ternoon we’ll travel to near-by site to get hands-on experience planting an Eco-Buffer.

Running from 10:00am to 3:00pm, this workshop is intend-ed for agricultural producers and other rural landowners. Registra-tion is free and includes a bagged lunch. Pre-registration is required by May 31st. Contact Jennifer Cau-dron, ALUS Coordinator, Parkland County at 780-968-8888 ext 8286 or [email protected]. For more information on these multi-purpose plantings check out the Practical Guide to Establishing an Eco-Buffer at www.awes-ab.ca

Alberta Fire Bans Go Mobile

ONOWAY GOLDEN CLUB NEWS

Continued From Page 1

Springtime can have a high wild-fire danger rating because dry grass and leaves can provide fuel before new growth begins. Fire bans also

occur throughout the warmer sum-mer months depending on weather and moisture conditions. It’s always wise to check for Alberta fire bans before you enjoy the outdoors.

Quick facts about Alberta’s wild-

fire season• Since March 1, there have been

274 wildfires in Alberta’s Forest Protection Area.

• Of those fires, 99 per cent were human-caused and entirely prevent-

able.• As of May 15, there were 88 fire

bans and fire advisories across the province.

If you see a wildfire, report it at 310-FIRE (3473).

FAMILY TREASURES – TIME TO SHARE

AT ONOWAY MUSEUM

Submitted by Yvonne Slemko | Onoway and Dis-trict Historical Guild

Everyone has a very special old “something” that is on display in your home or that is brought out on special occasions. Maybe it’s that pocket watch and chain that belonged to your Uncle Roy . Or

the immigration documents by which your great-grandparents finally became Canadian citi-zens.

It could be a china tea cup and saucer that were given to you as a Christmas present when you were six years old. Or how about the booties that Grandma knit for you?

Perhaps you still have that well-worn violin that your dad played at country dances for years. What about the traditional clothing made from hand-woven fabric that came over with the new bride and her husband when they emigrated to Canada in the late 1800s? Do you have a fami-ly bible where births and deaths have been recorded ... forever?

Onoway Museum would be honored to help you share these treasures and their stories. From June 1 until the end of Septem-ber, the museum is creating an exhibit made up of very special memorabilia which will show-case the wildly different pieces of history local residents can share. Members of the public are invited to bring in family treasures which will be put on display so that others may share the memories and stories of their families. Bring in the objects and the stories that they tell.

It might be a trophy or a prize won at a music festival. A ser-vice medal from WWI. A base-ball uniform. That lunchbox you carried to school everyday. An engraved locket given to your mother on her wedding day.

Do you have a family treasure to bring to Onoway Museum for others to enjoy? Contact the museum at 780.967.1015 or [email protected]. Or just bring the object (and its story!) to the museum. The mu-seum is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.


UPDATE ON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT ODOUR MITIGATION

Submitted by Tara Gal-lant, Legislative Manager | Town of Whitecourt

May 17, 2018Seasonal mitigation work, in-

cluding adding a water cap to the sludge holding ponds, is un-derway at the Whitecourt Waste-water Treatment Plant to control odours at the facility. This, in addition to other odour mitiga-tion strategies, will be conducted throughout the spring and sum-mer months to reduce odours that may be generated by the facility.

Based on recommendations made by Stantec Engineering on the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Whitecourt has implemented a number of odour mitigation ac-tivities at the facility over the last several years. The Town of Whitecourt has:

• Restricted the septic waste arriving at the Wastewater Treat-ment Plant;

• Relocated the truck dump sta-tion to the plant and placed con-trols on its use;

• Implemented an odour con-trol program which includes the monitoring/testing/injection of Biomax to control hydrogen sul-phide (H2S) generation;

• Implemented a monitoring program for the detection of H2S on properties adjacent to the plant;

• Changed the operating prac-tices of the plant to control odours generated by the digesters;

• Planted over 300 trees in an effort to establish a green buffer between the lagoon and resi-dents;

• Incorporated information to assist residents with proper use of the sanitary sewer system into promotional materials.

Throughout this spring and summer, crews will continue to monitor, test and inject Biomax to control H2S generation. Town Administration has drafted a new

utilities bylaw that will enhance the Town’s ability to control the use of the sanitary sewer col-lection system. This bylaw will be presented to the Policies and Priorities Committee for review later this year.

The Town wants to improve the quality of life of all residents in the area, and those enjoying rec-reational facilities in the vicinity. There are a number of medium to long-term projects that are currently being reviewed. Stan-tec Consulting Ltd. is prepar-

ing a follow-up report that will be completed this summer that will review activities that have been completed, the results, and evaluate if more can be done in a cost-effective manner for the entire community.

The operation of a Wastewater Treatment Plant is an involved science. It uses both mechanical and biological processes to break down organic matter which ar-rives on a continual basis. There is a point in the process where the system changes from aerobic

(with oxygen present) to anaero-bic (lacking oxygen) which oc-curs in the waste activated sludge holding ponds, and a by-product of this change is the creation of H2S, among other gases, which creates the odour. This sludge is stored on-site during the winter, and removed every fall for use as a fertilizer for local farmers.

We appreciate the communi-ty’s understanding as we work to minimize the impact of this facil-ity on our community.


3 WAYS TO USE YOUR LAWNTO IMPROVE CURB APPEAL

Returns on home improvement projects vary. In its annual Cost vs. Value Report, Remodeling magazine notes the projects that yield the best returns on invest-ment in a given year. But a host of factors, including the type of market (buyers’ or sellers’) and the region where the home is being sold, ultimately combine to determine if homeowners’ in-vestments in home improvement projects will provide the returns they were hoping for.

Though there’s no way of guar-anteeing a home improvement project will yield a great return, real estate professionals often cite improving curb appeal as an excellent way to attract prospec-tive buyers and potentially get

the asking price or more when selling the home. Improving curb appeal makes even more sense in today’s real estate market, when many people do their own searching via real estate websites such as Trulia or Zillow. When using such sites, buyers will likely be less inclined to click on a listing if exterior photos of the property are not eye-catching.

Various projects, including tending to lawns and gardens, can improve curb appeal. An added benefit to focusing on landscaping to improve curb ap-peal is it promotes spending time outdoors in spring and summer. In addition, many lawn- and gar-den-related home improvement projects need not require profes-

sional expertise.1. Maintain a lush green lawn.Lawns that fall into disrepair

may not give buyers a correct impression about how home-owners maintained their homes. Lawns with multiple dead spots and grass that appears more brown than green may lead many buyers to assume that the home’s interior was equally ill-cared for. Maintaining lush green lawns is not as difficult as it may seem. Applying fertilizer and aerating at the appropriate times of year (this varies by region) can pro-mote strong roots and healthy soil, making it easier for grass to survive harsh conditions like drought. When watering in sum-mer, do so in early morning or evening so as little water is lost to evaporation as possible.

2. Address brown patch.Even well-maintained lawns

can fall victims to brown spots. According to the lawn care pro-fessionals at TruGreen, lawns in regions with hot temperatures and high humidity can be in-fected with brown patch, a com-mon lawn disease that is caused by fungus, which can produce circular areas of brown, dead grass surrounded by narrow, dark rings. Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences notes

that removing dew that collects on grass leaves each morning, which can be accomplished by mowing or dragging a water hose across affected areas, can be an effective way to reduce brown patch. Homeowners without much lawn care experience can consult professional landscapers to address the issue. But those looking to sell their properties should note that buyers often walk the grounds of homes they are considering buying. So ad-dressing any issues on the lawn should be a priority for sellers.

3. Confine dogs to certain ar-eas.

Dog owners may want to let their pets roam free in their yards. But homeowners about to put their properties up for sale may want to confine their four-legged friends to certain areas. That’s because dog urine can be high in nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to lawns, but in high concentrations it can con-tribute to yellow or brown spots. Also, highly acidic dog urine may even adversely affect pH levels in the soil.

Curb appeal can go a long way toward helping homeowners sell their homes, and a lush lawn can be used to catch the eye of pro-spective buyers.

EXPERIMENT WITH GROWINGEDIBLES INDOORS

Foodies find it hard to beat vine-ripened tomatoes plucked right out of a garden. Other ed-ibles, such as fresh lettuce for a small luncheon salad or a handful of fresh parsley right out of a pot to add to a marinade, also add a lot to meals.

The convenience and flavor of freshly grown edibles propels many home gardeners to grow produce and herb gardens in their yards. But those short on outdoor space may be happy to learn that many edibles grow equally as well indoors as outdoors.

Many people maintain com-fortable temperatures between 70 and 75 F in their homes all year long, which can be the ideal condition for growing an array of edibles no matter the season. For those with homes that receive

ample sunlight (or if homeown-ers are willing to supplement with artifical light), growing conditions can be even stronger. An indoor garden can comprise as much space as a homeowner is willing to devote. Shelving can maximize vertical areas and enable gardeners to include even more planting room.

Keep these tips in mind when cultivating indoor edible gardens.

• Tomatoes: Tomatoes should be reserved for the sunni-est spot in a home or one where additional UV light can be used. Tomatoes will need pots or con-tainers that are roughly six inches deep with ample drainage. Keep in mind that tomatoes grown in-doors will be smaller than out-side fruits, and you may want to consider plum or cherry tomato

varieties.• Cucumbers: For those

fresh salad mixes, cucumbers can be grown indoors in large pots so they can have space to develop. Be sure to put a climbing struc-ture in the pot so that vines can grow vertically, and place cu-cumbers in a sunny, warm loca-tion.

• Carrots: Natural Liv-ing Ideas says that if you have between four and five hours of bright sunlight per day and deep pots with loose, well-draining soil, you can cultivate carrots indoors. Carrots prefer cooler spots for sweet yields. Plus, car-rot greens can make for attractive indoor decorations.

• Microgreens: Swiss chard, basil, dill, kale, and oth-er greens can provide nutri-

ent-dense additions to any meals. These plants do not require a lot of depth to a container and can thrive on a sunny windowsill in a room that’s between 60 and 70 F.

• Scallions: These plants of the onion family add flavor to many recipes. When scallions are grown at home, gardeners can snip off the greens as needed. Choose deep pots so the scallions can establish strong root systems.

• Turnips: Large, deep pots are needed to grow turnips, says Loyal Gardener. You can grow them from seeds and be harvesting turnips in about two months.

Homeowners or apartment dwellers can experiment with different types of edibles indoors. The result can be fresh foods no matter the season.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GOLF

SIX GOLF PERSONALITIES THATWILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR GAME

Golf is played all over the globe. Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill, that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brain power. Here are some interesting facts about the game.

• To this date, golf is only one of two games to be

played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw.

• Long before the ad-vent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles.

• In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase “birdie,” when he hit a shot he defined as a “bird of a shot.”

• Making a hole-in-one

during a round of golf is quite a challenge. However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million.

• Only around 20 per-cent of golfers have a handicap below 18. The United States Golf Teachers Federation de-fines handicap as “a measure of a player’s current ability over an

entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is.”

• The word “caddy” comes from “cadet,” the French word for “student.”

• A regulation golf ball contains 336 dimples.

(NC) From the rules drill ser-geant, to the etiquette obsessed,

no one likes to be on the course with that person. Here are a few

of the personalities you should be keenly aware of when creat-ing the perfect 18-hole pairing.

The Natural – They’ve had no lessons, no warm-up, old clubs but can consistently hit them long and straight every day.

Play with this person if… you crave a smooth, competitive game.

The Iceman – never phased by a shot that’s off or a disgruntled competitor, the Iceman always keeps everyone’s emotions in check.

Play with this person if… you want to cool down fired up play-

ers.The Socialite – forget the

game, this person is out for a good time. With positive vibes, and stories for days, this person is only interested in one hole: the 19th.

Play with this person if… your scorecard is the last thing on your mind

The Personal Trainer – will gladly walk the length of the course with a 50 pound golf bag in tow. The PT prefers post-game chicken breasts over hot dogs, and comes equipped with a crisp low calorie light beer, such as Molson Canadian 67.

Play with this person if… you’re an active calorie cal-culator who wants to tone up while having a good time on the greens.

The Chauffeur – likes driving the cart more than swinging the club and is happy to drop you off at every hole.

Play with this person if….the Personal Trainer has worn you out.

The Slicer – no matter how many lessons he’s taken or how new his clubs are, he consistent-ly hits his shots in the woods.

Play with this person if… you want to win!

TIPS FOR NEWCOMERSTO THE GAME OF GOLF

Few hobbies can be as enjoy-able one moment and as frus-trating the next as golf. Golfers know a great putt can be quickly followed by a bad tee shot, and maintaining their composure through the highs and lows of the game is a key to success on the links.

Maintaining that composure isn’t always easy, even for the professionals. It’s even more dif-ficult for beginners, who quickly learn the game of golf involves more than just spending sunny weekend afternoons on pristine golf courses. In fact, golf can be quite demanding, and beginners would be wise to heed a few tips before hitting the course.

* Don’t commit to an expen-sive set of clubs right off the bat. Golf clubs can be very expen-sive, so beginners should buy an affordable secondhand set of clubs so they can get the hang of what they like before spending a lot of money. Visit a pro shop and explain that you are just a beginner. The shop will likely make some valuable suggestions and might even let you try out a pair of clubs. In addition, many driving ranges allow customers to rent clubs, and this can be a great and inexpensive way to

find the right clubs for you.* Take lessons. Even the very

best at self-teaching might find it extremely difficult to become a self-taught golfer. When first try-ing your hand at golf, take some lessons and don’t expect to be playing 18 holes any time soon. Before hitting the course, where you might be discouraged and you might frustrate those golf-ing behind you, learn the funda-mentals by taking a few lessons at the driving range. Learn from a professional, who won’t offer you any hidden secrets to golfing glory (there aren’t any) but will offer sound advice on the game’s fundamentals.

* Take the game home with you. Beginners can even take advantage of golf’s vast pop-ularity by taking the game home with them. This doesn’t mean building a putting green in your backyard. Rather, pur-chase some instructional DVDs to learn the game during your down time throughout the week. Many golfers don’t have time to hit the links during the week, but they do have time to watch some DVDs when they get home from work. Such instructional DVDs can help you master your grip and stance, which you can then

take with you to the course over the weekend.

* Have fun. Golf is a fun game; it just takes time to hone your skills. But even if you aren’t ready for the professional tour after your first few rounds, you can still have fun. Don’t let some beginner’s frustration, which every golfer experiences, ruin the fun of the game. Take note of your surroundings when you hit the links, and appreciate the time you’re spending with your group. If the game becomes more a source of frustration than fun, then take a break and put in some more work away from the course, be it at the driving range or studying at home.
