Better Hearing is more than a goal.

It’s Claire’s passion!

Claire is certified by the Nat National Board of Hearing Inst Instrument Specialists, she’s m a member of The College of Hea Hearing Aid Practitioners of Alb Alberta, the International Hea Hearing Society and the Canadian Hearing In Instrument Practitioner’s S Society.

Y

ou have probably heard of someone referring to a spouse or a loved one as having “selective hearing.” This seemingly innocent comment is often accompanied by a smile and a chuckle but for those who are experiencing difficulty hearing, it is no laughing matter.

Buying hearing aids can be an intimidating idea. Where to start? Who do you contact? Will it work? All of these questions come to mind and they might be confusing and overwhelming for those who

are in need of improved hearing, which is so essential to a happy life.

Fortunately, Claire Milligan is right here in Camrose to answer your questions and guide you through the steps toward finding hearing aids best suited to your needs and lifestyle.

“Helping people hear better is m my passion,” says Claire. “I love tthat every day I am connecting pe people to missed sounds and the expe experiences they provide. I believe better h hearing is a key to a happy and healthy lifestyle.”

Claire comes by her passion honestly for providin providing better hearing. Her parents have owned the H & H Optical and Hearing Center in Drumheller for 35 years. Claire grew up hearing stories about how her parents had helped people and she wanted to do the same since she was a young girl.

“Helping people hear the world around them more clearly is really not a thankless job,” says Claire. “It’s deeply rewarding to improve a person’s quality of life. When one of my clients leaves with a broad smile because of improved hearing, I am the one who becomes thankful that I have been able to help them.”

Claire has seen many changes and significant improvements in the science of hearing aids.

“Digital technology has revolutionized the hearing aid industry,” she says. “The science continues to evolve daily.”

One of the most significant advancements Claire has seen is in the area of Bluetooth technology, which allows her to monitor a client’s hearing aid experience in real time, helping her understand how a client wants their hearing aid to sound.

Amazing.

Claire is also looking to use a ground-breaking auditory training program which helps the brain comprehend speech much better in difficult situations such as noisy public settings.

“Essentially, this program will help my clients become better listeners,” she says. The good-natured joking about “selective hearing” will become a thing of the past. Just as physical therapy can help rebuild muscle memory, Claire can help her clients develop skills and learn strategies for dealing with situations when hearing is strained.

“My clients come to me expecting performance and reliability from their new hearing aids. I take that responsibility very seriously because the success of the hearing aids is also dependent on me.

Hearing aids are not like eyeglasses, they must be fine-tuned, you almost never put them on and simply walk out the door.”

If you’re ready to live your life with improved hearing, the path will become much easier for you with Claire at your side. Put her passion to work for you and start hearing the world around you in all it fullness.

Walking among the ghosts

By Lori Larsen

Discovering the history of Camrose goes a celestial step beyond the historical buildings and artifacts at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum during the annual ghost walk lead by museum coordinator Janine Carroll.

The event will be held at the Museum on Friday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.

“Weather permitting we will have all buildings open for people to come in and tour,” said Janine.

But the real adventure begins when Janine gathers attendees inside the museum and, amidst the ambience of candles (flameless) and the sense of yesteryear, Janine relates some of her own and oth-

ers’ experiences with ghost stories and then invites other guests to share their own ghost stories.

“The building that I think has the most activity (ghost) on the museum property is the pioneer house,” said Janine.

Janine indicated that all the spirits she has experienced on the muse-

um grounds have all been what she refers to as, content (friendly.)

Guests are welcome to dress up in Halloween costumes to add to the entire experience and begin the essence of All Hallows Eve. For more information contact Janine at 780672-3298.

Citizens urged to reject tax

By Murray Green

At least one MP is taking a stand against added carbon taxes.

Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland and official opposition deputy critic for natural resources, is promoting a petition calling on the Government of Canada to refrain from unilaterally imposing any national carbon tax or pricing mechanism that would duplicate existing provincial programs.

She said it would harm Canada’s economic competitiveness domestically, in North America, or internationally.

The Liberal government announced its plan for a federal carbon tax that will force all Canadian jurisdictions to impose the job-killing and price-hiking tax on all Canadians, despite having previously committed to working collaboratively with provinces and territories.

The Prime Minister’s announcement had environment ministers surprised during three days of meetings and negotiations in Montreal. Ministers from Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia all walked out of the meeting.

“Ultimately, it’s Canadian families, workers, consumers, business owners, the middle class, people on fixed incomes, the working poor, and charities, who are going to pay the high costs and increased prices of all goods and services – the result of yet another tax,” said MP Stubbs.

She questioned the Liberal government’s motives for introducing this tax.

“Canada accounts for less than two per cent of global emissions and even expert economists who support carbon taxes say it would have to be astronomically higher to reduce emissions significantly. Neither the United States nor any of the other top six major oil and gas producing nations in the world are even proposing, or implementing carbon taxes on themselves because it would undermine their competitiveness and it would harm their communities,” said Stubbs.

A number of provinces and territories have voiced opposition to the tax.

“I encourage all Canadians who oppose this punitive cash grab by the Liberal government to support, sign and share this petition.”

C o n c e r n e d Canadians can sign the petition at petitions. shannonstubbsmp.ca.

By Kevin Sorenson, MP Battle River-Crowfoot

I enjoyed the summer recess from my Parliamentary duties to come home and reconnect with constituents. I find it most important to know first-hand the feedback on what is happening in our riding of Battle River-Crowfoot as a result of a difficult economy but also because of poor choices being made by the federal and provincial governments.

Hearing dissatisfaction from so many of my constituents spurs me to get back to Ottawa and hold the Liberals accountable for their mismanagement of many files that are costing the Canadians economy growth and failing to create jobs for our unemployed workers. We see this especially in Alberta at this time.

The Liberals do not seem to care about the 110,000 Canadians who have lost their jobs in the energy sector, Canada’s largest private investor, which contributes $17 billion annually to government programs and services across Canada. Canadians are struggling to pay their bills and to keep their homes. Household debt is at an all-time high, and Canadians are worried about their future and jobs are not being created.

Sometimes it seems easy to blame the Liberals in Ottawa or the NDP in our

province, but the fact is they are a major part of the problem when it comes to raising taxes. The Liberals are committed to raising income taxes, business taxes, payroll taxes, and other taxes, and worst of all, a huge, jobkilling carbon tax that will cost many Canadian families thousands of dollars a year. They are delaying and shutting down critical pipeline projects that would give us access to world markets.

The Liberal’s madein-Ottawa carbon tax will apply to all Canadians, no matter where they live

and no matter if a province already has a carbon tax.

Carbon taxes raise the price of everything, from filling up the gas tank to buying groceries to heating homes and they kill jobs.

When Liberals in Ottawa increase carbon taxes on employers, they threaten billions of dollars of investment in the economy, money that would pay for hospitals and schools and would provide thousands of familysupporting jobs.

They need to start listening to premiers of provinces like Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and the territories. These jurisdictions do not want a carbon tax, because they know that Canadians, particularly rural and northern Canadians, cannot afford it.

In Alberta, we are going through the toughest recession we have had in decades, and the worst possible thing is to hike prices and impose new taxes on everything.

The Liberal government is ruling with a top-down, doit-or-else approach to federalism. In Alberta, this will make a bad situation worse.

Guest editorial

Green Tease

By Arnold Malone

Kermit The Frog proclaimed, “It’s not easy being green,” and of all critters he should know.

Born, as I was in the 1930’s a lot of being green comes naturally. Anyone who grew up in or under the influence of the Great Depression already has some green neurons.

There was a time when my family didn’t have money. What they had was resources and thrift. Every morsel of everything was squeezed out what ever existed. That is how life continued. I am now a mix of yesteryear and this more wasteful new age. I justify over-spending on a new shop tool for my woodworking hobby yet still turn out the lights as I leave every room. I also shave until the razor feels like I am pulling whiskers with pliers. The toothpaste tube is a tortured piece of twisted scrap after the last molecule has been expelled.

There was much about the pre Second World War values that still have lessons for today. Foremost never waste a thing. You don’t need to revert to eating dandelion leaves as salad, but you should never take a plate full of food and then scrape a portion into the garbage.

Alone, I ponder the cost-effectiveness of tossing away a paper sweetener package in the recycle bin in the pantry. Every time the pantry door opens a light goes on. So, what was the value of the sweetener package and how did that compare with the value of the electricity?

Sadly, advertizing is full of green washing. Some green ads are laughable. I once went to a hardware store to buy paint. The sales lady asks, “Would you like an environmentally friendly stir stick?” “And, what might that be?” I asked. “It’s Bamboo” she replied, “Bamboo is a grass so we don’t waste trees.”

Most bamboo comes to Canada from the Philippines, likely on a boat that burns bunker fuel, the most populating fuel in all transportation. Every sawmill in Canada has lots of outer cuts that could make stir sticks.

Media is filled with questionable green advertizing.

You might be dumbfounded by the fact that NASCAR advertises green racing. Some of their earnings are used for tree planting. Tree planting is good but they had better plant a rainforest if they expect to cancel high horsepower vehicles grinding around a racetrack.

We might excuse the sport of auto racing but it is impossible to excuse their green promotion.

Recently, the American Standards Association chastised Renault’s Twingo car for advertizing “AN ECO CAR” pictured with flowers coming out of the tail pipe. In fact, the car’s emissions were amoung the worst for a car of that size.

Car crushing has been taking place for many decades. Only recently however, has this practice been referred to as green recycling. There are too many ads with nature pictures of forests, deer and rabbits, but void of green information.

CLOROX GREENWORKS advertized their product as “Natural” because it came from nature, but it has about the same strength as any bleach product.

It is getting difficult to buy a product that is not pretending to be Eco-Friendly. Oil companies, chemical plants, paint products, insurance companies, banks and a host of others promote their green claim.

The list of doubtful green ads is, sadly, almost unending.

This is not just a matter of honesty; this practice harms the objective. If we are to move towards being more responsible then those who make green-claims must be believable. Anything less, weakens the cause.

So, those ads that try to attract our desire by spinning green fibs should cause us to avoid rather than buy.

“You were bang on, Kermit.”

Grant Thornton employees make each step count for children

By Murray Green

Grant Thornton employees laced up their walking shoes to take part in the second annual Making Steps Count walk-athon supporting three Canadian children’s charities, Oct. 4.

A community walk was developed to celebrate and support the communities where we live and work, contributing to three recognized Canadian children’s charities.

More than 500 employees in over 54 offices across Canada participated in the walk, collectively raising in excess of $102,000 for the Grant Thornton Foundation’s three national charities: Big Brothers, Big Sisters Canada; Breakfast Club of Canada; and Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.

“The Foundation’s Making Steps Count initiative gives us a unique opportunity to collectively make a difference in our communities, nurturing future opportunities for

children across the country, helping communities and families thrive,” said Grant Burgess, CPA, CA, principal, Grant Thornton in Camrose.

Making Steps Count is only one of Grant Thornton Foundation’s yearlong campaigns created to raise funds that will go towards a variety of programs, including: funding mentor/mentee relationships through Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada, purchasing food for schools supported by the Breakfast Clubs of Canada, and funding post-secondary scholarships through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. The Foundation also supports employees with their individual charitable goals.

Leading up to the event, Grant Thornton employees worked hard to raise funds for this worthwhile cause.

The local Camrose office had 15 walkers raising $875 so far.

“We walk together to

MAKING STEPS COUNT

make a difference in the lives of children in our communities across Canada – taking pride with each and every step,” said, Krista Han, chair of the Grant Thornton Foundation and partner with Grant Thornton. “We’re proud to say that nationally our Making Steps Count event raised $53,699 with the firm making employee donations.”

Further fundraising efforts will continue throughout the month of October.

The Grant Thornton Foundation, established in 2011, is a vehicle designed to help Grant Thornton employees streamline their collective philanthropic efforts—whether in the form of fundraising, volunteering or donating professional expertise—to make the greatest impact possible in communities across the country.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Grant Thornton employees take part in the second annual Making Steps Count Walk-a-thon on Oct. 4. More than 500 employees in over 54 offices across Canada participated in the walk, collectively raising in excess of $102,000.

Grand Opening

County halts solar panel project

SALE

By Murray Green

After Camrose County councillors received the structural engineering assessment, they changed their minds about the solar project that was agreed upon in the summer.

Sky Fire Energy had a structural engineer determine that the roof was unable to support any rooftop application without reinforcement.

“Building codes have changed since the administration building was built, so it no longer meets the requirements,” said administrator Paul King.

Awning mounted panels would have to be used at the administration building and wall mounted panels installed at the seed cleaning plant instead of the roof, but the added cost made the project unviable at this time. Camrose County budgeted $220,000 for the project.

The County’s goal is to decrease the amount of energy used from nonrenewable energy sources.

An estimated cost of $225,400 after a rebate was presented in July, with funds to come from MSI capital.

“There is a concern that our roof structure will not be sufficient to support the system. Both of the companies ranked at the top have alternative mounting proposals and are confident the system will be feasible.

Extra costs may be incurred if the roof structure will need to be reinforced, or if an alternative racking system is required,” said corporate services manager Teresa Gratrix back in July.

“Sky Fire Energy’s initial proposal included an awning array on the exterior

The original proposal represented a 15-year payback on the solar investment. However, the modifications pushed the payback closer to 20 years.

However, if the solar panels only have a 20-year life span, then it leaves the County doing a lot of work for little gain.

Camrose leads the way in reducing carbon

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose is leading the way in reducing the carbon footprint with the installation of Alberta’s newest largescale solar project on the roof of the Recreation Centre.

Representatives from the City of Camrose, ENMAX and Great Canadian Solar were joined

by Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer, MP Kevin Sorenson, members of city council and members of the public to unveil the solar installation on the roof of the Camrose Recreation Centre on Oct. 14. Unfortunately, due to increment weather, the scheduled tour of the rooftop installation had to be cancelled. “The stage is set and the time is now to make changes in our energy consumption footprint,� said Mayor Mayer. “And to reduce our overall energy costs. “It has always been a priority to ensure that our residents enjoy a high quality of life and since joining the Blue Dot movement last year, council has officially committed to making significant effort in reducing our impact on the environment as effectively as possible.�

Mayor Mayer thanked ENMAX and Canadian Solar for the hard work both organizations did together to make the project become a reality in an orderly and timely fashion.

MP Kevin Sorenson described the historical journey of advancement both the province and country have taken to get to this point. “I commend the city for looking forward, for working towards a renewable and sustainable type of energy and I thank

ENMAX and all those partners for being involved in this project and certainly for looking for ways of lowering our carbon footprint.�

ENMAX director of Enhanced Energy Services John Rilett also congratulated the City of Camrose. “This is a significant stepthe new stage of infrastructure starting here with this building. “Alberta has a fantastic solar resource, the best solar resource in Canada and we need to make use of that in an integrated system. “Last fall the government of Alberta set a renewable target of 30 per cent and it is fantastic that here in this building there is a little microcosm of that goal. This system on the roof is actually going to provide just over 30 per cent of the energy for this facility. “Camrose, you have effectively, here in this building, hit that target and you hit it in exactly the way the government has intended,� remarked Rilett.

According to Great Canadian Solar president Clifton Lofthaug, the panels will improve efficiency by two and a half per cent over standard modules that have been used up to this point. “This means we can use a smaller space to install a system that ultimately produces over 25 per cent more electricity.�

The system will begin generating power by the end of October and will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of 118 average Alberta homes and offset about 690 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

Knife used in threat to kill Sept. 29

On Sept. 29, police responded to a knife complaint at a local City facility in Camrose. It was determined two male youths had gotten into a verbal argument that resulted in one of the youths brandishing a knife, threaten to kill the male and then wave the knife in the direction of the victim. The victim was able to leave the area without injury. The male with the

knife then exited the facility and walked up to a separate male youth and again brandished the knife.

Again, the second victim was able to leave the area without injury. Police located the suspect male and placed him under arrest for breach of a condition. He was also noted to be in possession of a knife and a stolen bicycle.

The investigation result-

ed in the male being charged with assault with a weapon, possess weapon dangerous to the public (two counts), uttering threats to kill, theft under $5,000, possession of stolen property under $5,000 and breach of a condition of an undertaking. The male youth was put before a Justice of the Peace and released on a no cash bail with numerous strict conditions.

Students make the grade in sciences

Sled/Quad Trailer

By Murray Green

Alberta students performed well on their 201516 diploma exams and Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs).

High school students achieved high marks last year on their Grade 12 diploma exams, most notably in the sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics and science. Physics diploma exams results also improved for the fifth year in a row. Grade 6 and 9 English language arts marks also rose compared with the previous year, while most other subjects showed fluctuations within the expected range.

The exception was Grade 6 mathematics, which continued to trend downward. “While we are pleased to see students do so well in sciences, we are still concerned about math results. This is why we are taking many steps to improve achievement in math. We are working with post-secondary institutions to improve training for new teachers. We have also clarified expectations around basic math skills, including adding a new section to the Grade 6 math PAT that is designed to ensure students can solve basic number operations without using a calculator,” said education minister David Eggen.

“We are also launching a six-year process to develop new curriculum with mathematics and numeracy skills.”

Canadians need more vitamin D

By Murray Green

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) in the United Kingdom is urging everyone in England to take vitamin D supplements, which according to the Vitamin D Society of Canada, should give Canadians a reason to start looking at their own vitamin D intake levels.

Much like England, Canada shares the same sunshine limitations, which means that because of the northern latitude of both countries, vitamin D producing sunlight can only be captured by our skin between the months of May and October. This leaves citizens in the cold with declining vitamin D levels in the fall and winter.

The downside of low vitamin D levels is that bones can become thin and brittle because vitamin D plays an important role in regulating the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body making it essential for bone health and more.

“Without having a recommended intake in the UK it was not possible to evaluate vitamin D status or vitamin D intakes there, but now with the decision of SACN to finally put these forward, we can see in the UK, intakes are low and status is one of the poorest,” said Dr. Susan Whiting, scientific advisor for the Vitamin D Society and professor at the University of Saskatchewan. “Both countries share similar latitudes, similar dietary habits and distribution of people of European and non-European ancestry.

Modest fortification with vitamin D in Canada has prevented us from having so much severe vitamin D deficiency as is the situation in the UK right now.

But diet alone in neither country can allow us to achieve optimal vitamin D status especially in winter months.”

Statistics Canada reports that up to 12 million Canadians, 35 per cent, do not meet vitamin D blood level requirements.

That number rises to more than 40 per cent in the winter.

The summer sun allows most Canadians to naturally generate adequate levels of vitamin D, but according to the

Vitamin D Society, come winter, that won’t be possible. The northern latitude of our countries physically prevents vitamin D generating sunlight to reach us. The solution to keeping levels normal in the winter, however, is from vitamin D supplements or artificial UVB exposure.

“While vitamin D supplements will help pro-

A quicker, better, more convenient way

vide benefits in the winter months, fortified foods, which are sometimes relied upon to provide vitamin D, do not actually provide enough vitamin D in the winter,” said Dr. Whiting.

“For those who remain indoors, or are otherwise prevented from sun exposure in summer, a supplement all year long might be the answer.”

Hello, Old Friend The M108S by Kubota

FOOT PROBLEMS? I can help!

Plantars Fasciitis Do you wake up in the morning and find that the first few steps you take are extremely painful on the bottom of your feet? Also marked by burning sensation in the base of the foot throughout the day, Plantars Fasciitis is one of our most limiting types of foot pain.

Cause: Dropping of the foot arch causes pressure on the Plantar Fascial ligament on the base of the foot. The bone structures start to press in an abnormal fashion on the ligament causing the ligament to tear, either from the heel bone or the metatarsal joint heads.

Prognosis: If it goes untreated for a long period of time, Plantars Fasciitis can become more painful when the body tries to protect itself by placing calcium deposits in the ligament tissue to repair the tears, causing you to have heel spurs.

Treatment: Plantars Fasciitis can be treated successfully with the use of a properly fitted orthotic to support the heel and base of the foot. Very often icing and stretching exercises will be prescribed as well. If properly treated the symptoms and pain of Plantars Fasciitis should be gone in a few days. The tears take six to ten weeks to begin to heal, then the rest is up to your body, footwear, and diligence of caring for your feet.

You are welcome to a free foot assessment at Total Orthotics to help you to determine the best course of action for your foot health.

Alberta visionaries inducted into Agriculture Hall of Fame

By Murray Green

Three prominent producers have been honoured by the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame in recognition of their contributions to research, genetics and the livestock industry.

For mer Ca mrose County reeve Bob Prestage, Cornelius (Cor) Van Raay and Dr. John Kennelly were inducted on Oct. 7.

“The Hall of Fame is a tribute to the ongoing legacy of agricultural innovation in this province. This year’s inductees are pioneers in their fields who have worked hard for decades to improve agricultural practices, support growth in the industry and educate the next generation of Alberta farmers and ranchers,” said Oneil Carlier, Alberta Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

This year’s Hall of Fame inductees were honoured at a ceremony in Leduc.

The Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame was

created to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the agriculture and food industry and to the development and sustainability of rural life in Alberta.

Robert (Bob) Prestage has been dedicated

to beef cattle breeding and genetic programs in Alberta for more than 50 years. His commitment to the industry is evident through his sustained work in marketing and exports and international and community programs.

Early in his career, Prestage distinguished himself by developing the progeny test program for beef cattle, significantly improving the genetic pool of the Canadian cattle industry. Founding Wicklow Angus in Camrose, he raised the profile of

Angus beef in Canada and internationally.

Prestage selected, processed and exported thousands of cattle to more than 20 countries, including marketing the first cattle to Russia to support the Alberta cattle industry’s recovery from BSE. He has supported Alberta breeders in selling cattle around the world, generously sharing his marketing expertise, hosting numerous international delegations, and judging at international cattle shows.

Prestage has made many contributions to youth and community organizations and has received numerous industry and community awards including induction into the Alberta Angus Association Hall of Fame as a breed builder.

Since 1951, almost 130 Albertans have been honoured for their leadership and accomplishments within the agriculture sector.
