They will have to keep the letter within their vehicle while driving south of the border. Class 3 drivers who don’t have a medical exam on record could be subject to a fine, a vehicle seizure or denial of entry into the U.S.

As this change is introduced, any enforcement and penalties will be at the discretion of U.S. officials. Ef-fective April 1, 2017, drivers in this category who do not have a medi-

cal exam on record will be subject to full enforcement penalties in the U.S.

Class 3 driver’s licence holders wishing to meet U.S. requirements may provide a Medical Examination for Motor Vehicle Operators to the medical review section of Alberta Transportation, along with a note requesting a medical confirmation letter.

BLUE-GREEN ALGAE BLOOM ADVISORY ISSUED FOR HASSE LAKE


EDMONTON – A blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom has been identified in areas of Hasse Lake, located within the Edmon-ton Zone of Alberta Health Ser-vices (AHS). Residents living near the shores of this lake, as well as visitors to this lake, are advised to take the following precautions:

• Avoid all contact with blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) blooms. If contact occurs, wash with tap water as soon as possible.

• Do not swim or wade (or allow your pets to swim or wade) in any areas where blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) is vis-ible.

• Do not feed whole fish or fish trimmings from this lake to your pets.

• Consider limiting hu-man consumption of whole fish and fish trimmings from this lake, as it is known that fish may store toxins in their liver. (People can safely consume fish fillets from this lake).

As always, visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water direct-ly from any lake, including Hasse Lake, at any time. Boiling lake water will not remove the toxins produced by blue-green algae (cy-anobacteria). An alternate source of drinking water should also be provided for pets and livestock, while this advisory is active.

Blue-green algae (cyanobacte-ria) is naturally occurring, and of-ten become visible when weather conditions are calm. Appearing like scum, grass clippings, fuzz or globs on the surface of water, blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) can be blue-green, greenish-brown, brown, and/or pinkish-red, and of-ten smell musty or grassy.

People who come in contact with visible blue-green algae (cy-anobacteria), or who ingest water containing blue-green algae (cya-nobacteria), may experience skin irritation, rash, sore throat, sore red eyes, swollen lips, fever, nau-sea and vomiting and/or diarrhea. Symptoms usually appear with-in one to three hours and resolve in one to two days. Symptoms

in children are often more pro-nounced; however, all humans are at risk of these symptoms.

Weather and wind conditions can cause algae blooms to move from one location in the lake to another. As such, this advisory will remain in effect for Hasse Lake, until further notice. Please note that areas of Hasse Lake in which the blue-green algae (cya-nobacteria) bloom is NOT visible can still be used for recreational purposes, even while this Blue-

green Algae (Cyanobacteria) Ad-visory is in place.

NOTE: The Contaminated Wa-ter Advisory, issued June 8, 2016 for Hasse Lake, remains in place. That Advisory was issued due to elevated levels of fecal coliforms present in the water of Hasse Lake.

If you suspect a problem related to blue-green algae (cyanobacte-ria), or if you require further in-formation on health concerns and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria),

please call Health Link at 811. Additional information is also available online, at www.alberta-healthservices.ca/bga.asp.

ELECTORAL REFORM-- YOU SHOULD DECIDE

EVANSBURG FARMERS’ MARKET

Submitted by Jim Eglins-ki, MP – Yellowhead

I recently mailed out my householder regarding electoral reform and the need for a refer-endum. I have received several queries requesting clarification on what the Liberal Govern-ment’s proposed changes are, and exactly how they intend to reform our electoral system.

However, this is exactly the

problem. The Liberal Govern-ment has stated they will change our electoral system, but they have failed to tell Canadians how they will change it. Instead, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed a group of 12 pol-iticians who alone will get to de-cide how they, and all Members of Parliament, will be elected.

The Liberal Government has claimed their 2015 election victory gives them a mandate

to change the voting system in whatever way they want. Yet, they still haven’t told Canadians what system they want to imple-ment.

So what have they said? They have said that they do not think they need to give Canadians the final say through a national ref-erendum. I believe Canadians should decide, not politicians. A national referendum should be held on the final proposal that

the government will make to change our voting system.

As your Member of Parlia-ment, I want to know what you think. I encourage all constitu-ents to fill out the survey in my householder and mail it, postage free, to my Ottawa office. Let me know if you think the Liberal Government should hold a ref-erendum to get the approval of Canadians before changing how we elect our politicians.

DRIVE HOME A WINNINGGOLF TOURNAMENT

ADJUSTING GOLF SWING GETS EASIER

(NC) The arrival of warmer weather has many Canadians dreaming of the hitting the local golf course. It is also the time that many companies, orga-nizations, charities and other groups start planning their golf tournaments.

Hosting a golf tournament is a great way to entertain customers, thank employees or raise funds for your group. While there are many details to arrange, organizing such an event doesn’t have to be distressing.

Experts recommend that you cover

the basics first. Picking the right date and a course that is suitable for your group is the first priority. The earlier you do this the better as you will get a wider selection of dates and courses.

Ensuring your guests are well fed and hydrated out on the course should be another priority. In the heat of sum-mer, a good supply food and non-al-coholic beverages will ensure your participants enjoy a healthy and safe round.

What about prizes? The excitement

of winning something is always a big draw, so hit up local businesses, sup-pliers, business partners and friends for prize donations.

To take your tournament to the next level, you could offer hole-in-one prizes such as a car, boat, trips or cash. “Adding big prizes to your golf tour-nament doesn’t have to be an expen-sive or worrisome endeavour,” says Andrea Martin, Senior Underwriting Manager, Wayfarer Insurance. “You can get insurance coverage that will

pay for the prize in the event that a golfer hits an ace.”

One of the biggest tips is speak to the professionals at the golf course where you book your tournament. Often courses will have staff to assist you, or at least literature that will help you plan a successful event.

Golfers rejoice! Those dreaded slic-es or hooks could become a thing of the distant past thanks to adjustable clubs and drivers. In addition to help-ing improve accuracy, adjustable clubs also lighten the load in your golf bag.

With a few twists of a wrench or

even turning the shaft of the driver it-self, golfers can adjust the face angle, loft and lie angle of the driver to hit the ball farther and straighter. Golfers can make small adjustments to create the right loft and improve distance without having to purchase a new club

or visit a club fitter.Many club manufacturers now offer

adjustable drivers and other clubs. Ac-cording to an informal poll on Golf.com, 34 percent of the 2,337 respon-dents owned an adjustable driver by the end of 2011. The ability to upgrade

shafts has also become popular as golfers respond to what the pros are doing.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OFYOUR DAY ON THE COURSE

Adjusting Golf Swing Gets Easier

(NC) Most great golf games are filled with sun, competition and cama-raderie, but you can enhance the ex-perience with a few tips that have less to do with your swing, and a lot to do with your 18-hole enjoyment:

Dress for success: The right golf apparel can be as important as the clubs you carry. Check the weather in advance to make sure you’ll be as comfortable as possible during play. Determine if you’re dressing to im-press or to elevate your game. Light, non-restrictive clothing will allow you to swing freely and keep you comfort-able and cool in the heat, or warm if the temperature drops. If you’re a guest, always check out the dress code at the club you’ll be visiting to ensure you comply with the rules.

Choose your company carefully: Your playing partners can have a lot to do with how you play and how you so-

cialize on the golf course. If you’re out with friends, you can relax and enjoy the day knowing what to expect. But if it’s a game with your boss or clients, always make sure to test the waters. Will they play by the rules or is it just a relaxed day? Are your clients there to play golf or do business? Under-standing the landscape on the first tee will alleviate any awkward moments later on.

Create friendly competition: Sure, there’s already a scorecard, but you can add more competitive fun to your game by creating a little friendly rival-ry. For example, try a little Bingo Ban-go Bongo - a points based game that awards a total score based on three kinds of achievement: Bingo – first person on the green gets a point; Ban-go – the player whose ball is closest to the pin when all balls are on the green gets a point, Bongo –the player who

is first to hole out gets a point. Add up the points and the person with the highest total for the round wins.

Walk it off : Make a small ‘healthy’ tweak to your game by walking vs. taking a cart. When you choose to walk rather than drive 18 holes, you’ll cover approximately six kilometres and burn around 1,500 - 2,000 calo-ries. Golfers that ride carts will burn only about 1,100 - 1,300 calories.

Say cheers and enjoy: The 19th hole remains one of the best holes on the course. Cap off a great day by enjoy-ing a light meal or a light beer such as Molson Canadian 67, which is brewed to 67 calories per 341ml bottle and 3% ABV. This crisp, refreshing beer can be paired nicely with a protein boost of chicken or fish.

Adjustable golf clubs enable golfers to walk out onto the course with one driver and a few different shafts. With a couple of clicks from a wrench, a person can have an entirely new driv-er. That cuts down on the equipment that needs to be carried and can fine tune a golfer’s accuracy. These high-tech clubs are corresponding to chang-es being made to golf balls. Engineers have reduced the spin on golf balls to help the balls travel farther. To do so, golf experts advise that the ball needs to be hit higher into the air. Adjustable drivers can give players the edge they need to produce the right height and trajectory.

According to data from golf club manufacturer TaylorMade, 70 percent of consumers who use the company’s adjustable drivers adjust their club at least once to get the desired shot. Af-terward, 10 to 15 percent of adjustable driver users report further adjustments as they become comfortable with the features.

Although golfers can now put ad-justments into their own hands, it is

still adviseable to get a profession-al fitting regardless of which clubs are chosen. A certified club fitter can help a person sort through the myriad options available and make recom-mendations based on various factors, including the golf ball used.

Those who are not fans of adjustable

drivers say that the adjustment mecha-nisms add weight to the drivers, which can compromise efficiency. However, that isn’t stopping larger numbers of golf fans from taking adjustable driv-ers for a trial run in an effort to im-prove their game.

ENSURE A MORE ENJOYABLE WINTER INDOORS WITH SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING SOLUTIONS

(MS) - As the weather gets colder, Americans inevitably spend more time indoors. If you’re sharing a space with an excitable toddler, an aspiring rock musician or a TV

enthusiast with a penchant for loud volumes, peace and quiet may seem increasingly elusive.

Try these simple soundproofing tips to restore or create a more tran-

quil atmosphere in your home:1. Hush noisy appliances. Make

sure your appliances are working smoothly. Unusual rattles, clanks or vibrations may mean it’s time for a repair. When a replacement is need-ed, seek out a quieter machine. New technologies have allowed manu-facturers to lower the sound output of many models.

2. Seal sound leaks. Holes and cracks around windows and doors let outside noise into the home. Weather-stripping and/or caulking can help to eliminate the intrusion of exterior noise. Adhesive sound-proofing tape can also help seal any problem areas.

3. Anticipate centers of noise when renovating. When designing a new room or renovating an exist-ing one, consider its intended use and potential for generating noise.

Playrooms, music studios or home theaters, for example, can be quieted with insulation. Look for a product such as Roxul Safe’n’Sound that is specifically designed to provide superior sound absorption and can be applied to the interior walls of a noisy room to effectively reduce disruptive sounds.

4. Use sound-absorbent materials. Carpets and window drapes prevent sound from echoing around a room. If your home has hardwood, lami-nate flooring or tile, consider invest-ing in a throw rug to reduce ambient noise and add some character to your space.

Taking simple steps to create a more peaceful space will maximize the enjoyment of your home. It can also have the added benefit of help-ing to keep the peace among spous-es, parents and siblings alike.

4 SIMPLE WAYS TO WINTERIZE YOUR HOME Trimming hanging branches

and removing debris from their yards is one simple way home-owners can prepare their proper-ties for winter.

As winter approaches, home-owners know they must do cer-tain things to ready their homes for the coming months. Wrap-ping up the grill and closing the pool are no-brainers, but home-owners also must prioritize win-terizing their homes to ensure homes withstand the winter.

Winterizing tasks range from small to big, but each can protect a home and its inhabitants and some can even save homeowners a substantial amount of money. The following are four simple ways to winterize your home.

1. Plug leaksLeaky windows and doorways

can cost homeowners money year-round, allowing cold air

to escape on hot summer after-noons and letting cold air in on brisk winter nights. When such leaks aren’t fixed, homeowners are more liable to turn up their air conditioners or heaters, un-necessarily padding their energy bills along the way. Before win-ter arrives, check areas around windows and door frames for leaks, as well as any additional openings, such as chimneys, that may allow cold air in. Use caulk or weather strips to plug these leaks, and enjoy your warmer home and lower energy bills as winter weather gets colder and colder.

2. Inspect your chimneyIf your home has a chimney,

chances are you have not used it since last winter. During that time, the chimney has likely ac-cumulated some dirt and grime, and may even have served as

home to some uninvited critters. As the season for fireside chats approaches, have your chimney serviced by a professional so it’s ready for use and you are not greeted by some unwanted guests upon lighting your first fire.

3. Clear the yardAutumn days, particularly late

autumn days, can be gusty, and strong winds can cause branches to fall off trees. Branches big and small can cause damage to cars, siding and roofs, and smaller branches can get clogged in gut-ters, potentially causing gutters to back up and leading to leaky roofs that damage a home’s in-terior. Take a walk around your property at least once per week during the fall, clearing any fall-en limbs and trimming branches that appear one strong gust away from falling off of trees. Remove any branches that are hanging

over your home and driveway so they don’t pose a threat to your house or vehicles.

4. Turn off outdoor water sup-plies

When temperatures get espe-cially low, pipes with water still in them can freeze and burst, potentially leading to significant water damage. When you no lon-ger need to water the lawn and when temperatures get too cold to wash your car in the driveway, be sure to shut off the water sup-ply to outdoor spigots and sprin-kler systems. Once you do that, drain them so no water is sitting in the pipes when temperatures dip.

There are many ways to win-terize a home, and homeowners should take every precaution necessary to ensure their homes are safe and warm as the cold weather season approaches.

GUIDE TO REPLACING HOME SIDING Few home improvements can

transform a home more than the installation of new siding. Re-placing siding can be a costly venture, but the right siding will maintain its appeal for years to come.

Updated siding can improve home’s energy value by enabling owners to save on heating and cooling costs. A new design and color also can improve a home’s property value and set it apart from neighboring properties. According to the Professional Builder’s Home Exteriors Sur-vey, exterior design and materi-als used are a top priority for new home buyers.

Project costs depend on the size of the home as well as which siding material homeowners choose. Considering new siding is a major renovation, it pays to get the job done right.

Choose a qualified contractorIt is important for consumers to

do their research when it comes to siding materials and contractors. A contractor who takes shortcuts or improperly installs the sid-ing may void a manufacturer’s warranty. Always ask family members and friends for recom-mendations before choosing a contractor, and check out each prospective contractor’s work for yourself. Interview more than one contractor and compare both their costs and what they offer. Ask plenty of questions of the contractors, and avoid those who try hard-sell methods. Question-able contractors may try strate-gies like a promise of a consid-erable discount if you “act now” or scare tactics that your home is unsafe in its present condition.

Be sure the contractor carries general liability insurance as well

as workers’ compensation insur-ance for their subcontractors. Ask for a license number as well and verify its accuracy.

Select a durable materialSiding comes in all types of ma-

terials - from wood to plastic to fiber cement - but vinyl is among the most popular due to cost and availability. Research how well particular brands of siding stand up to conditions and which are the least likely to crack, warp or discolor. Find this information from online reviews or through consumer advocacy groups. Also remember, vinyl and other syn-thetic materials have improved and can now mimic the look of many other materials for a frac-tion of the cost.

Calculate how much you needBefore you price out siding with

contractors, estimate how much you will need for your house.

Consumer Reports suggests multiplying the height times the width of each rectangular section of your house in feet, going by what you can measure from the ground, to determine their areas. Multiply the approximate height and width of gables and other tri-angular surfaces and divide each total by two. Then add all the totals. To allow for waste, don’t subtract for doors, windows or other areas that won’t be covered. Finally, divide the total square footage by 100 to estimate how many squares of siding you will need. A square represents 100 square feet. Knowing how much you need can save you money.

Vinyl siding can completely transform the look of a home and make it more energy efficient. Consumers who do their home-work will get the best value for their investments.

EXTERIOR PAINTING POINTERS A fresh coat of paint on a

home’s exterior can give a prop-erty a vibrant new look. Wheth-er you decide to go with a bold new color or repaint a house in an existing color, new paint can add some life to the exterior of your home.

Summer has long been con-sidered the ideal season to paint home exteriors, but advance-ments in technology have made it easier to paint home exteriors lat-er in the year. According to paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, traditional latex-based paints need temperatures above 60 F to cure properly. Sherwin-Williams also notes that one of the more common mistakes homeowners make when painting their homes’ exteriors is to paint during times of the year when temperatures fluctuate greatly between the days and nights. When night-

time temperatures dip consid-erably lower than they were in the afternoon, dew will form and the paint can stop coalescing. When that happens, moisture gets into the uncured paint and surface staining and adhesion problems may result. So even if the temperature is a comfortable 60 F during the day, homeown-ers should avoid painting if the nighttime temperatures figure to drop considerably.

In addition to choosing the right time of year to paint, consider the following painting pointers to ensure your home’s exterior gets the fresh look you are aiming for.

· Monitor weather reports. It’s not just the temperature at night after you paint that should be monitored. Sherwin-Williams advises that the temperature should be in the suggested range and above the dew point for at

least 48 hours after application so the paint film can form properly. So applying a fresh coat of paint on a beautiful autumn Saturday is not ideal if Sunday figures to bring the first hints of winter.

· Don’t skimp on quality. Some paints are cost more than others, and homeowners working on a budget may be tempted to choose the least expensive option avail-able. While price and quality are two different things, it’s im-portant that homeowners avoid choosing a paint solely because it is the least expensive option. Research paints before buying a particular one, emphasizing qual-ity over cost. Today’s paints last longer than the paints of yester-year, so you likely won’t need to paint your home’s exterior again for a long time. A budget-friend-ly yet low-quality paint will not only make your home less ap-

pealing, but you will likely need to paint again sooner than you will if you go with a higher qual-ity paint.

· Don’t paint to cover up a problem. Rotting wood or siding is unsightly, and some homeown-ers think paint can cover up such a problem. But paint will not stick to rotten wood and siding, and the problem will still be no-ticeable after you paint. A fresh coat of paint is not the solution to rotten wood or siding. Con-sult a professional contractor if your home is experiencing such a problem.

A fresh coat of paint on your home’s exterior can be a great way to improve your home’s curb appeal. But it’s important homeowners follow some of the same rules the pros adhere to when painting the exteriors of their homes.

DARWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWSSubmitted by Sandra Ste-

paniuk, Library Manager, Darwell Public Library

It has been a very busy summer with the Summer Reading Club, Westjet Fundraiser at the Barnburner and Ag Drag, Silent Auction, Used Book Sales and the Discovery Toys Fundraiser. A HUGE thank you goes out to all of our volunteers for their tireless efforts and commitment to the Library, and thanks to everyone who has come out to sup-port us; we couldn’t do it without you.

The Summer Reading Program for

children 6 – 13 was a success again this year. We had a total attendance of 41 with 294 books read. We wrapped up the program with Mckenzie from Edmonton Reptile Parties bringing a selection of her favorite reptiles to share with everyone. We saw lizards, a tarantula, and a couple of scorpi-ons, an African bullfrog and a vari-ety of snakes. Mckenzie took time to talk about each reptile and answer any question, and then brought them around for everyone to have a closer look and to touch if appropriate. A few brave children even had their pictures

taken with Edgar the 5 foot Boa Con-strictor. We are looking forward to next year’s program, the planning will be-gin in the new year.

We are currently accepting propos-als from those interested in presenting our Preschool Story Time program. The program will run once weekly throughout October and November 2016. Please include in your proposal, rate per hour, preparation hours per session, session outline and a current criminal records and vulnerable sec-tors check. To submit your proposal or to acquire further information you

can contact Library Manager, Sandra Stepaniuk during regular library hours. Please submit your proposal no later than September 15, 2016.

Drop by and visit us at the Darwell Centennial Hall during the Commu-nity Information Night on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 between 6:30 and 9 pm. We will be providing guests with information on library services and programs and have membership forms available for those who would like to become new members. Hope to see you there!

We encourage you to drop by and peruse the titles, take what you want and leave a donation of your choosing. All money received will go directly towards the completion of the library expansion.

The Book Club will be meeting on Monday, September 12, 2016 at 7:00p.m. to review “My Secret Sis-ter” by Helen Edwards and Jenny Lee Smith. Do you love to read? Do you like to discuss what you have read with others? We have a few open spots and are always interested in a new perspec-tive to add to our conversation. If you are interested in participating you can register and make arrangements for loan of the current title by calling the library @ 780-892-3746.

Family Movie Night, at the Lake Isle Community Hall, will be held on Fri-day, September 23, 2016. We will be showing the pre-release “G” rated title “Finding Dory”. The doors will open at 6:30pm and the movie starts at 7:00 pm. Admission is $ 2.00 and a conces-sion will be available. See you there! All of our programs are sponsored by The Darwell Public Library Society, Darwell Library Friend Society, FCSS and the CLSA Library Grant.
