In response to a dire feed shortage amongst local livestock

producers – coupled with a sig-nificant inventory of immature, unharvested crop remaining in field – County Council has de-clared a State of Agricultural Disaster within Lac Ste. Anne

County. This declaration was executed at the recommendation of the Lac Ste. Anne County Ag-ricultural Service Board.

Lac Ste. Anne County Declares State Of Agricultural DisasterContinued From Page 1

Local livestock producers are on the cusp of some tough de-cisions. A province-wide short-age of hay and feed has driven prices skyward. Producers may be forced to significantly cull herds due to this limited access to feed.

The Alberta Agriculture and Forestry/Agriculture Financial Services Corporation Crop Re-porting Survey indicates that as of October 2, 2018, just 15.7% of crops within the Lac Ste. Anne County region have been combined – compared to a five-year average of 62.7% at this same time.

The anomalous snowfall expe-

rienced in September of this year has harvest operations at a stand-still. Little to no progress is ex-pected without a significant turn in the weather. In addition, the prolonged stretches of cold have done severe damage to the qual-ity of the crop that remains out. Producers who have managed to harvest have done so in limited quantities and at moisture levels not suitable to facilitate sale or long-term storage.

County Council has made this declaration of Agricultural Di-saster with the intent to encour-age the Provincial and Federal Governments to initiate the pro-graming necessary to assist our agricultural producers.

For additional information, concerned parties are encour-aged to contact Lac Ste. Anne County Agricultural Ser-vices Manager Aren Skogs-tad at 780.785.3411 (toll-free 866.880.5722).

Stolen SUV / Assist to Identify - Found Puppy

Whitecourt CAO Peter Smyl Receives Provincial Recognition

Continued From Page 1

The RCMP Police Dog Ser-vices Unit was utilized and was able to track a suspect from the stolen SUV to numerous back-yards in the neighbourhood but eventually the track was lost and the suspect was not located.

RCMP members located a puppy inside the stolen SUV

and confirmed it did not belong to the owner of the vehicle. It is unknown if the puppy belongs to the unknown suspect or if the puppy was stolen from a resi-dence. The puppy was taken to the Morinville Veterinary Clinic. St. Albert RCMP is asking for the public’s help in locating the puppy’s rightful owner.

If you have information about

this or any crime and would like to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), online at p3tips.com, or with the P3 Tips app. Crime Stoppers does not collect information about your identity. A tip leading to an arrest may be eligible for a re-ward of up to $2,000.


Mr. Smyl accepted the award on September 26, 2018 at the 2018 AUMA Convention in Red Deer, Alberta.

“On behalf of the Town of Whitecourt, we are pleased to see Peter Smyl recognized by SLGM and AUMA for his dedication and commitment to municipal governance over the past 20 years,” said Whitecourt

Mayor Maryann Chichak. “I’ve had the opportunity to work with Peter over the last several years, and his hard work and effort is deserving of this recognition from his peers and the municipal sector.”

The award recognizes long-term excellence and dedication to municipal government and chief administrative manage-ment.

As stated by Bob Beck, Chair of the SLGM, “Peter has worked

hard to improve his profession-al knowledge and competence and to ensure his staff keep their skills current in this ever chang-ing local government business.”

“It’s great that AUMA and SLGM have an avenue to rec-ognize the work that municipal employees do for communities throughout the province,” add-ed Peter Smyl. “Thank you to Whitecourt Town Council and my coworkers in helping me achieve this honour.”


RIDING UPDATE – WEEK OF OCTOBER 8, 2018Submitted by Jim Eglins-

ki, MP – Yellowhead

I spent the week sailing on the HMCS Vancouver as part of the Canadian Armed Forces and De-partment of National Defence Parliamentary Program.

This amazing experience gave me the opportunity to experi-ence life aboard one of Canada’s major warships, living among and interacting with its sailors to

gain a deeper understanding of their mission in service to Can-ada. I gained a perspective of what life is like at sea and I bet-ter understand the training that each sailor receives in addition to their actual job. There is a lot of complexity and moving piec-es to each sub-team and it was incredible to see how each team interacts with the others in order to run an operational warship.

Thank you to all of our sail-

ors, past and present, who spend months at a time away from fam-ily in the service of our country.

I returned to the riding on Fri-day. That evening, I attended the Edson Business Awards Gala. Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners!

On Saturday, I toured the Wey-erhaeuser mill in Edson as part of their 35th Anniversary cele-bration. Later that day, I drove to the seniors’ centre in Alberta

Beach to attend an event cele-brating the approval of a $25,000 grant from the New Horizons for Seniors Program. The funds will be used for their adult exercise and garden areas.

I will be back in Ottawa next week as the House resumes. Look for my update next week on the happenings of Parliament.

Sharon Cook Breitkreuz grew up knowing that she had five rel-atives, including her father, who had served in both world wars. Onoway was home, and she at-tended school here as she grew up.

Sharon’s father, Thomas H. Cook, served in Europe during WW1. There, he suffered a brain injury resulting in amnesia for eight months. Years later, it turned into epilepsy. Because of that in-

jury, Thomas served in Vancou-ver, then Alaska with the U.S. Air Force during WW2, returning home to farm when hostilities ended.

Private Steven D. Cook, Sha-ron’s uncle, died in WW1. Ironi-cally, the bullet killing him cut off the corner of a picture of himself he carried in his breast pocket. Pri-vates John W. Osland, and Joyce V. Osland were half-siblings from her mother’s first marriage, both in the army. John was with the Canadian Army when it liberated Holland. Joyce served as a truck

driver in Calgary, and later mar-ried Private Clifford Pedersen. Cliff was injured during the war, but recovered, and both he and Joyce returned to the family farm at the end of WW2.

Sharon wanted to honour her family, and where else but in the home Legion? When she learned the legion badly needed smaller flags for ceremonies, she felt that sponsoring three flags was fitting. A plague of thanks now hangs in the legion.

ENVIRONMENTAL FARM PLAN SESSIONS EFP TECHNICIAN WORKING WITH LAC STE. ANNE COUNTY PRODUCERS

Whitecourt Town Council Update

Submitted by Lorraine Tay-lor, Conservation Coordina-tor | Lac Ste. Anne County

The Agricultural Services De-partment is hosting two more free workshops for ag producers wanting to complete an Envi-ronmental Farm Plan. Our EFP technician from the West Central Forage Association will be at the Lac Ste. Anne County office on Monday, October 29, 2018 from 4:00 to 8:00pm and Thurs-day, November 22, 2018 from 10:00am to 2:00pm.

The Alberta EFP is a whole farm environmental risk assess-ment tool. Participating in the program is completely voluntary. There are many good reasons to complete an EFP; awareness of environmental risks in your op-eration, increasing efficiencies and reducing production costs, and meeting requirements for sustainable sourcing programs. Eligibility for funding under the Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change programs of the Canadian Agriculture Partnership (CAP) includes hav-

ing a current EFP. You can complete your EFP

online in your own time. Many participants find completing the workbook easier with the sup-port of an EFP technician. The workshops give you time to work on your EFP with in-per-son guidance. If you would like to get started on your plan, have a few questions answered, or get it finished off, drop-in during the October or November sessions. Come on your own or as a farm unit. Bring your own laptop or we will supply one for you to

use. Refreshments will be pro-vided. For more information about the Environmental Farm Plan visit www.albertaefp.com

To ensure the sessions will run, pre-registration is required. We’ll get you set up in advance, so you can get started as soon as you arrive. To register for a ses-sion, or for more information on the EFP process, contact Rachel at the West Central Forage As-sociation, 780.727.4447 or [email protected]

AHS INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM BEGINS MONDAY OCTOBER 15Submitted by Alberta

Health Services

Starting Monday (Oct. 15), Albertans have the opportunity to protect themselves and others against influenza through Alber-ta’s annual influenza immuniza-tion program.

The vaccine will be available free of charge to all Albertans six months of age and older at hundreds of Alberta Health Ser-vices (AHS) public influenza immunization clinics, as well as

at many pharmacists and physi-cian offices around the province that can provide immunization to Albertans five years of age and older.

“All of us have a role in re-ducing the spread of influenza,” says Sarah Hoffman, Minister of Health. “I encourage all Al-bertans to do their part and get immunized this season to help protect themselves, their fami-lies and communities from in-fluenza.”

“It is important to get immu-

nized early in the season,” adds Dr. Christopher Sikora, Acting Senior Medical Officer of Health for AHS. “You may be healthy now but, without immunization, everyone is at risk. Prevention is your only protection.”

Immunization is the most ef-fective means of protecting against the strains of influen-za virus circulating each sea-son. Because influenza strains change season to season, Alber-tans cannot rely on having been immunized in years past.

“Last season, influenza im-munization cut Albertans’ risk for influenza by just over 40 per cent,” says Dr. Sikora. “That’s great but last year’s immuniza-tion won’t protect you this sea-son. You need this season’s im-munization to be protected this season.”

Last influenza season, more than 3,000 Albertans with influ-enza were hospitalized and

92 Albertans died with influen-za. Influenza causes more emer-gency department visits than heart attacks and strokes, not to mention significant downtime from work and leisure activities.

“Influenza does not discrimi-nate,” says Dr. Sikora. “Though some Albertans are at greater risk of severe complications, no one is naturally immune to influ-enza. Please don’t take the risk. Influenza can be one less thing we battle this winter. For your-self, and your loved ones, get immunized.”

WHY DO BRAKE ROTORS WARP? Braking systems are comprised

of various components, includ-ing rotors. Rotors are large met-al discs that can be seen behind the wheels of the car. Rotors can sometimes appear to warp, and many drivers may question why this occurs or if this is a signifi-cant problem.

Rotors cannot really warp. Au-tomotive experts note that rotors are metal discs that are cast under extreme heat conditions. It would take a similar application of heat by the braking system for rotors to actually bend, which is impos-sible. Other factors make rotors appear to be warped, so describ-

ing such rotors as “warped” is an easy way to explain the problem to vehicle owners.

For brakes to work correct-ly, brake pads must be applied squarely and evenly against the rotor. But friction can cause some brake pad materials to form resi-due on certain areas of the rotor,

eventually contributing to uneven rotor surface levels. Some spots become thicker, while others may thin out.

Drivers’ own habits, including their braking tendencies, can con-tribute to uneven rotors. The auto-motive advice resource Your Me-chanic says that riding the brakes for prolonged periods of time can cause hot brake pads to “paint” the rotors. So constant braking should be avoided.

Drivers also can shift into a low-er gear when driving downhill so that prolonged breaking is unnec-essary. Also, avoiding frequent hard breaking may help. People who live in an area where they’re hard on the brakes either because of hilly terrain or traffic may find such environments can take a toll on the performance of their vehi-cles’ brake systems.

Brake system issues, such as front brakes having to work harder than rear brakes, or over-torque-ing when wheels are installed, also may cause rotors to warp, advise automotive experts at Kal Tires. Moss Motoring also states that new pads and brake pads need to be fitted correctly and properly “bedded.” Bedding is the initial transfer of friction materi-al from pad to the disc to form a smooth, uniform layer. Break-in instructions should be included with new brake installation.

Warped rotors can cause symp-toms such as squeaky sounds and lead to jittery feelings in the car when brakes are applied. Such rotors also can cause the vehicle to vibrate when coming to a stop.

If warped rotors seem to be an issue, mechanics may be able to put thicker rotors into a lathe to smooth out the residue and restore an even surface - but the problem can come back. It is usually best to replace rotors if they are caus-ing severe vibrations or issues when braking.

FLUIDS TO CHECK BEFORE YOUR NEXT ROAD TRIP For many traveling enthusi-

asts, few things are more entic-ing than the open road. Road trips have long been popular, and that popularity appears to be on the rise.

According to a report from MMGY Global, a travel and hospitality marketing firm, road trips represented 39 percent of vacations taken by United States travelers in 2016. Road trips also remain popular in Cana-da, where vast, rugged terrain makes for idyllic trips.

Before embarking on road trips, motorists would be wise to inspect their vehicles to ensure their getaways are not derailed by car troubles.

• Brake fluid: Squeaky brakes are not the only poten-tial indicator of brake problems. Brake fluid, which should al-ways be topped off before be-

ginning a road trip, also might shed light on potentially serious problems. According to the Na-tional Motorists Association, brake fluid looks honey-like and translucent when fresh. A puddle beneath a vehicle that is clear to brown and slick indicates a brake fluid leak, which can ulti-mately lead to a complete failure of the brakes. The NMA recom-mends brake fluid be changed at least once every three to four years.

• Transmission fluid: When fresh, transmission fluid is red, darkening over time. How-ever, transmission fluid should never appear brown or black, which indicates potential inter-nal damage to the transmission. To determine if there are any is-sues with the transmission fluid, the NMA recommends drivers wipe a cool dipstick between

their thumb and index finger. If even the slightest bit of grit is felt when wiping the dipstick, the transmission is likely in need of work.

• Oil: Drivers should change their vehicles’ oil be-fore embarking on road trips, especially if such trips will be lengthy. The NMA notes that fresh oil is light to dark amber and translucent, and that is how oil typically looks immediately after an oil change. Oil darkens over time, and that is natural (black oil indicates it’s time for an oil change). However, oil that appears cloudy or milky indicates that coolant is get-ting into the oil, perhaps due to gasket problems. Drivers who are not getting their vehicles’ oil changed before a road trip should at least check their oil be-fore leaving to inspect the color

of the oil and ensure the vehicle has enough oil.

• Windshield washer fluid: The unknown of the open road is part of what makes it so appealing. While many road trippers plan their trips during the summer and fall when the weather tends to be both pleas-ant and predictable, there’s no guarantee inclement weather won’t rear its ugly head. Fill-ing the windshield washer fluid reservoir before embarking on a trip ensures drivers’ visibility won’t be adversely affected by unforeseen issues that can soil windshields.

Checking fluids before em-barking on a road trip can help drivers avoid breakdowns and ensure a safe, fun trip.

TWO HEADLIGHTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE:HOW CHANGING HEADLIGHTS IN PAIRS

MAKES NIGHTTIME DRIVING SAFER (MS) - When it comes to vehicle

maintenance, professional automo-tive technicians and organizations that promote safe driving have al-ways advocated replacing certain safety components in their vehicles, such as tires, brakes, shocks and wiper blades, in pairs.

Replacing parts in pairs ensures that the vehicle is properly balanced and functioning safely. But it’s not just tires, brakes and shocks that should be replaced in pairs. Vehi-cle lighting plays an integral role in keeping drivers and their passengers safe, and motorists should exercise the same level of caution regarding their vehicles’ headlights, taillights, and turn signals that they do with other parts of their cars and trucks.

Why replace aging headlight

bulbs?Most drivers are not aware that

headlight bulbs can wear out and degrade over time. As a result, head-lights are often overlooked when drivers conduct routine vehicle maintenance. As they age, headlight bulbs put out less light, which can dramatically compromise visibility at night, when drivers’ visual acuity is already naturally reduced by as much as 70 percent.

According to Lumileds, a lead-ing lighting solutions company for the automotive industry, headlight bulbs begin to project significantly less light within two to three years of their initial installation, produc-ing dimmer light outputs that can compromise the safety of drivers and their passengers.

Why replace bulbs two at a time?Though replacing both headlight

bulbs when only one is dimming may seem unwarranted, maintaining a consistent light output from both headlights makes the road safer for drivers, their passengers and on-coming motorists. When only one bulb is replaced, the resulting light output can be both unbalanced and unpredictable, providing inadequate lighting that can compromise driv-er visibility. In addition, when one bulb burns out or starts dimming, the other bulb will likely follow, forcing drivers to deal with the ex-pense and inconvenience of getting it replaced all over again.

How else can drivers improve vis-ibility?

In addition to properly maintain-

ing their headlights, drivers can take the following proactive measures to make nighttime driving safer.

• Replace worn out wiper blades each season or in three-month in-tervals to ensure adequate visibility during rain or snow.

• Clean interior glass and mirrors to remove any film-like buildup that reduces vision and creates hazy reflections from the sun. This is es-pecially important for smokers who smoke while driving.

• Don’t hang accessories on rear-view mirrors. This includes fuzzy dice, photos and other items that can be distracting and block your vision.
