The legend of jack-o’-lanterns The tradition of jack-o'-lanterns began in Ireland and Scotland, and pumpkins were not the first gourd of choice to use as lanterns. Turnips and rutabagas were often used because of their availability. When Irish immigrants migrated to America, they brought their jack-o'-lantern traditions with them. Turnips were not as prevalent on this side of the Atlantic, so carvers turned to pumpkins, which were larger and easier to carve. Jack-o'-lanterns get their name from Irish folklore, particularly a character named Jack. Seems Jack liked to drink and couldn't pay his pub tab, making a deal with the Devil for his soul to cover the pub fee. Jack agreed, but he tricked the Devil to get away with his soul and captured the Devil.
Box 35 Viking, AB T0B 4N0
Jack then agrees to free the Devil if he makes a new deal that the Devil can't never have his soul. Years pass and Jack eventually dies. Because of his unsavory lifestyle, he is not material for heaven, and Jack is once again reunited with the Devil. Because the Devil remembers he cannot
have Jack's soul, Jack is forced to roam the twilight world forever as a lost soul. The Devil gives Jack a few embers to burn to light the way, which Jack stores in a hollowedout turnip. Eventually these lanterns, used to keep scary spirits at bay, were called jack-o'-lanterns.

First day of fall brings to-do lists for home and garden Today is the official arrival of fall and time to think about things which should be done in preparation for winter. Tuesday, Sept. 23, is the fall equinox. Today the day and night are equal in length and, starting tomorrow, the nights get longer as winter draws closer. Now would be a great time to inspect your furnace and make sure it is good running order. Change the filter in the furnace and maybe stock up on a few extra
filters to get through the winter cold. Make sure the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors have fresh batteries and test them to make sure they are working. Check the chimney and the fireplace. If you have a wood fireplace, have your chimney cleaned and inspected by a professional. This would be a great time to stock up on firewood. Cover the firewood, making it dry and ready for use.

Variety of Fall recipes to enjoy this season BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH APPLE & BACON Serves 6-7 Yields about 6-1/2 to 7 cups. INGREDIENTS: 8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips 2-1/2 lb. butternut squash (about 1 medium), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (to yield about 6 cups) 1 small Granny Smith or other tart-sweet apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch dice (to yield about 1 cup) 1-1/2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh sage leaves 1 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 4 cups homemade or low-salt chicken or vegetable broth In a 5-quart or larger stockpot set over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Increase heat to medium high. Add the squash to the pot with the bacon fat and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes (resist the urge to stir it too often or it won’t brown). Stir in the apple, sage, salt, and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes (you’ll see more browning occur on the bottom of the pot than on the vegetables). Add the broth, scraping up any browned bits in the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the squash and apples are very soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool somewhat. Add about half the bacon to the soup and purée, using a stand or immersion blender (you’ll need to work in batches if using a stand blender). Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Reheat the soup and garnish each serving with the remaining bacon.

ZUCCHINI MOCK APPLE PIE INGREDIENTS: 8 cups zucchini (about 4 large zucchinis peeled, quartered, seeds removed, and 1/2 inch slices) 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 2 ready made pie crusts 1/2 teaspoon sugar, pinch of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon butter, for topping the crust Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Cut the zucchini into quarters, lengthwise, and remove seeds, then cut into 1/2 inch slices. Boil the zucchini for two minutes, until just tender. Drain well, and pat with paper towels to soak up any excess water. In a bowl, mix together sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream of tartar, flour and salt, then add zucchini and toss. Place one of your ready made pie crusts in the bottom of your pie pan, and fill with zucchini mixture. The mixture should come just above the edge of your pie pan. Melt a tablespoon of butter, and drizzle with apple cider vinegar over top of pie filling. Place your second ready made pie crust over the top, adding decorative slits in the top to vent. Melt one tablespoon of butter for topping the crust, and add 1/2 teaspoon sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Spread very thinly over the top of the crust, just enough to add flavor and sweetness. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. Take out carefully, cover the edges of the

“Collision Repair Specialists” Before you do, though, water in your perrenials, giving them a nice layer of proteciton against a long, harsh winter, including any young trees you may have on your property. Make sure you turn off the outside faucets to prevent them from freezing and bursting. In an older home, you may need to turn off the water valve inside your home. Applying fall lawn fertilizer will help prevent winter damage and spring weeds. If you don’t know what type of fertilizer you need, search online or seek out advice from a professional. This is a great time to trim or cut back any large tree branches. Be aware that there is a moratorium on trimming Elms until the first of October, to halt the spread of Dutch Elm disease in Alberta. If you leave your Christmas lights up year-to-year, now would be a very good time to check and replace any burned out bulbs. It’s a lot more pleasant to spend a fall day stringing finicky lights

Move Equipment Safely on Public Roads This Harvest 13 per cent of farm-related fatalities are traffic related; most involve tractors According to the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program, 13 per cent of farmrelated fatalities across Canada are traffic-related, and most involved tractors. During the busy fall harvest season, farmers often travel long distances between fields, and this requires transporting equipment on public roads throughout rural Alberta. Farm equipment is oversized and slow compared to other vehicles using the roads, and when certain procedures are not met, this can lead to collisions and other incidents. Maintenance is a contributing factor to the safety of transporting farm equipment. Poor maintenance of equipment such as brakes or tires can lead to loss of control of the vehicle. Check all tires for air pressure, cuts, bumps, and tread wear. Always lock brake pedals together for highway travel as sudden braking at high speeds on only one wheel could put the tractor into a dangerous skid. Equip heavy wagons with their own independent brakes. The number one cause of farm-related fatalities in Canada is machinery roll overs. To minimize the risk of severe injury or death to the operator, all tractors need roll-over protec-
tive structures (ROPS). In addition, operators should always wear a seatbelt as ROPS are ineffective in a roll over without this restraining device. To avoid traffic collisions between motorists and farm equipment, farmers should ensure their equipment is clearly visible and follow all regulated requirements for lighting and signage. This will ensure approaching traffic has time to react to a slow-moving vehicle. Use reflective tape and reflectors in the event that large equipment is required to travel in dim lighting conditions. In Canada, reflective material should be red and orange strips. You can purchase reflective tape in kits or by the foot at local farm or hardware stores. Dust-covered signage and lights make farm machinery less visible to motorists and dust-covered machinery causes poor visibility for the operator, who may not see oncoming traffic. Be sure to clean farm equipment prior to transportation to minimize the risk of collision due to poor visibility. It is important to note that regulated requirements for lighting and signage on public roadways include the use of a slow-moving vehicle
(SMV) sign. The SMV sign must be properly mounted, clean, and not faded. It must be positioned on the rear of the tractor or towed implement and clearly visible. SMV signs must only be used on equipment travelling less than 40 km/hr. Farmers should check their route prior to starting out with farm equipment to be sure equipment will fit on all roads and bridges and that there are no low-hanging power lines along the route. If equipment is too wide to fit safely into one lane, approaching traffic could clip the machinery or become blocked while crossing a bridge. Equipment that is too tall could come in contact with a power line. Use a pilot vehicle as a guide for large machinery and to warn motorists of oncoming large equipment. For the safety of all motorists, it is highly recommended that farmers move equipment during high-visibility daylight hours and during periods of light traffic. Avoid busy roads whenever possible, even if travel time will be longer. See FARM SAFETY AT HARVEST P8

Farm safety at harvest Continued from Page 7
If your route takes you across a rural railway crossing, be aware that some crossings have poor visibility. Always stop and make sure the way is clear before crossing. Anyone moving equipment, especially on public roads, should be trained in how to use the equipment and must hold a valid a driver’s license. Inexperienced operators can make mistakes when they are not used to the speed and maneuverability limitations of farm equipment. It is advisable to read the operator’s manual for each machine and observe any precautions indicated for road travel. Some tractors can freewheel in higher gears, which can be very dangerous when travelling down a hill. Use lower gear ranges when climbing or descending hills. Never take extra riders on equipment. Extra riders on farm
equipment are a distraction to the operator and are at risk of falling off the machinery and being run over. Each person in the machine should be secured with a seatbelt. Farm machinery operators can make road travel safer for themselves and others by observing safety precautions. Travel at a speed that will allow the operator to maintain full control at all times. Slow down when making turns or rounding curves. If needed, pull over when there is a suitable area to allow backed-up traffic to pass. Make sure the area is sufficiently wide and solid enough to handle the equipment. Once on a public road, obey all traffic laws and signs. Always wear your seatbelt and use signal lights when turning. Never use a cell phone while transporting equipment. The distracted driving law, along with
Itʼs that time of year, as farmers move equipment from field to field to finish their harvest. Slow moving farm vehicles on public highways should be extremely visible to oncoming traffic in both directions, to give other drivers the ability to slow down safely. all other rules of the road, is in full effect while driving farm machinery on public roads and highways.

Alberta cancels plans for new licence plates... again Leslie Cholowsky Editor The Community Press
In an announcement made Sept. 18, Alberta Premier Jim Prentice announced the cancellation of the plans to roll out new licence plates. “Albertans want us to deal with priorities they have identified in health care, education, infrastructure, and seniors. “Changing the design of Alberta’s licence plates
long campaign where Albertans could choose what they would prefer for their new licence plate design online, that also included a request for input into whether or not the licence plate slogan should be changed. Then-Service Alberta minister Heather Klimchuk said, “Based on comments from 33,000 people, the leading suggestions were to keep the current motto, ‘Wild Rose Country’ or to replace it
with ‘Strong and Free.’” That campaign, which said plates were being redesigned because Service Alberta was running out of unique licence plate numbers on the old six-
digit plates, was widely advertised and promoted, but then fizzled out and disappeared without a new design ever being introduced. Instead, a new seven-
digit plate in the existing design was produced in late 2009. Albertans can still
order a ‘Support our Troops’ licence plate, these are available now through Registry Agents.

is not one of them. “We are going to invest our time, effort and resources on the clearly identified priorities of Albertans. “The cost of producing and rolling out new licence plates for the 4.8 million vehicles in the province would have been $15 million, which is better used elsewhere.” Prentice’s statement cancels a July 8 announcement that Albertans would have an opportunity to have input into a new plate design, choosing their favourite of three different designs. Some controversy arose when Albertabased design firms objected to using a US design; and the Wildrose party voiced objections to the removal of the phrase “Wild Rose Country” from the proposed new plates. Public engagement appeared to be fairly high, as high numbers of visitors were reportedon the Service Alberta website dedicated to the licence plate redesign. Similarly, back in 2008, the Province rolled out a three-month

Ideal growing season leaves gardeners with bountiful crops This past growing season was ideal for many varieties of vegetables with the possible exception of lettuce, according to local gardeners. Lettuce is a cool-season crop that grows well in the early spring and fall in most areas. Lettuce seedlings will even tolerate a light frost. Temperatures between 7 and 18 Celcius are ideal for growing lettuce. But because our region enjoyed a warmer-than-normal spring, the ground may have warmed up too quickly and the seeds or transplants may have found the earth too warm. Most gardeners around the area say they harvested a huge crop of cucumbers and tomatoes as growing conditions for both were near perfect. The days were warm and although sometimes the rain came down too hard, (which was not so good,) often the rain often fell in the late afternoon or evening and left the days sunny and bright. Cucumbers are very easy to grow. They should be planted in an area of the garden that receives full sun. A cucumber plant needs a steady supply of water and if planted in rich, black soil, they will grow strong and yield well. The sun and rain mix this summer provided great growing conditions for the cucumber. Some local gardeners said they did not harvest many tomatoes this year despite what seemed like an ideal season for the vine plant. When planting next spring, make sure you select a site with full sun and well-drained soil. In this area it is important that the tomato plants receive at least six hours of sun. For those who did enjoy a good harvest of tomatoes and are now wondering what to do with all of them, there are a number of solutions. You can freeze, dehydrate, roast, make tomato paste, ketchup or marinara sauce, to name a few.

Stay safe when cleaning gutters this fall
Follow these steps to avoid accidents while cleaning your eavestroughs leaving a roof, possibly leading to costly roof repairs and damage to the roof that can put a home's inhabitants in danger. When snowfall accumulates on a roof, melting snow needs to make its way off the roof via the gutters. If those gutters are clogged with debris leftover from the fall, roof damage, including leaks, is more likely to occur. Clogged gutters also
make a welcome respite for unwelcome pests, including rodents and insects. In the warmer months, clogged gutters may make an inviting home to mosquitoes and other pesky insects, while rodents may seek the warmth of clogged gutters when temperatures dip to near or below freezing. Cleaning gutters is not that complicated, and
many homeowners can clear their gutters of debris in a typical weekend afternoon. But the ease of cleaning gutters should not overshadow the safety risks homeowners take when climbing a ladder to clear out their gutters. The following are a few safety tips for homeowners to keep in mind when cleaning their gutters. See GUTTERS P16
Tofield Tofield
Dr. Peter Yoo DDS
Come the fall, when trees start to shed their leaves and winds pick up in advance of winter, gutters can easily become clogged with all sorts of debris. When clogged gutters are not cleaned out, a host of potentially costly issues can result, making gutter cleaning an essential autumn chore no homeowner should ignore. Fully functioning gutters direct water away from the structure of a home and into nearby drainage systems. When clogged, gutters cannot direct that water away, and the result is often costly water damage to the home's foundation. Water that is not directed away may find its way into the basement of a home, causing issues with flooding and mold. But clogged gutters also prevent water from

As summer slips into fall, trees up and down the streets are changing colour. The leaves have started to fall to the ground and starting tomorrow, the days will get shorter.
Important tips for safe canning at home Home canning is a popular and safe way to preserve food for later use. Jams, pickles, soups, sauces, meat and seafood are frequently canned in glass jars. If home canned foods are not properly prepared, they can cause serious illness such as botulism. Botulism is caused by the toxin of bacterium called Clostridium botulinum -that affects the nervous system and can cause paralysis. It is estimated there are approximately four million cases of food-related illnesses of all types in Canada every year. Many of these illnesses could be prevented by following proper food handling and preparation techniques. The toxin that causes botulism is colourless, odourless, tasteless and invisible to the naked eye. You can prevent the toxin from forming in canned foods by following these tips: Wash your hands using hot soapy water, and clean and sanitize all work surfaces, utensils and equipment. Keep them clean during all stages of the canning process. For a sanitizer, you can prepare a bleach
solution by mixing 5 ml (1 tsp) of domestic bleach with 750 ml (3 cups) of water in a spray bottle. Spray surfaces and utensils, let it sit a minute and rinse with drinking water. Use a pressure canner when canning low acid foods. A pressure canner is a large pressure cooker optimized for canning. Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions for canning foods considered to be low-acid, such as seafood, meats, vegetables and sauces. These low-acid foods must be processed in a pressure canner to destroy any Clostridium botulinum spores that might be present. Foods such as fruit, pickles, jams, jellies, and marmalades will not support the growth of Clostridium botulinum due to their high acidity or high sugar content and can be safely processed in a boiling water canner. Make sure to follow the recipe. You cannot substitute sugar with pectin, as this will affect food safety. Pectin is often used to thicken foods such as jelly and jam. Tomatoes are a borderline high-acid food and
require an acid, such as lemon juice, citric acid or vinegar, to be added for safer canning. Canning foods in their fresh state without added liquid is often not safe. The container should be topped up sufficiently with suitable liquid, such as syrup, sauce, brine or acidifying agent. When following tested recipes, do not substitute ingredients, change ingredient amounts or change the jar size that is in the recipe. Any modifications could lead to bacteria remaining in the food, and affect the safety. Always follow the recommended recipes and processes along with the
recommended temperature, time and pressure. Each jar lid should be firmly sealed and concave (curved slightly inwards after cooling to room temperature). Before using stored foods - check that nothing has leaked from the jar, there are no unnatural odours and no liquid should spurt out when the jar is opened. Clearly label your home-canned food, including the date it was canned. For best quality, use within one year from the date it was made. Be sure to store your home-canned food in a cool, dry place. Once the container has been opened, refrigerate leftovers immediately.
Wishing our farming community all the best in this harvest season. Town of Viking, Mayor, Council and Staff
If you are buying or are given home canned products, ask about their preparation to help you to determine whether the proper safety steps were followed. Always remember:
never eat canned foods if you suspect the item has been tampered with, if the closure/seal has been broken, if the ends of the metal can or if the jar lid are swollen or leaking, or if the label is stained.
Hats off to all of our local Farmers!

Gutters Continued from Page 13
* Wear appropriate clothing. Loose-fitting clothing should not be worn when cleaning gutters. Such attire is a tripping hazard and can easily compromise your balance by catching on the gutter or ladder as you reach to remove debris. Wear clothing that does not hang off of you and choose pants that do not fall below your sneakers. Pants that might be a little long in the leg can catch under your feet as you climb the ladder, momentarily costing you your balance and possibly leading to a fall. When choosing footwear, avoid old sneakers or work boots without much traction, opting instead for footwear that easily grips each rung of the ladder. * Don't forget safety gear. Many people forget to wear safety gear when cleaning their gutters. Such forgetfulness increases your risk of injury. When cleaning gutters, always remember to wear work gloves, which can protect your hands as you dig into
gutters. Should you reach into a gutter without gloves on and grab something sharp, not only will you be cut but also you may be so startled that you lose your balance and fall off the ladder. In addition to work gloves, wear a dust mask and safety goggles when cleaning gutters to prevent debris from getting into your mouth and eyes. * Work with a partner. Cleaning gutters alone is a recipe for potentially devastating injury. Even if you are not afraid of heights, scaling a ladder is not something to take lightly. Ladders can be shaky, especially on brisk autumn afternoons when the wind kicks up. Working with a partner when cleaning gutters ensures someone is below you to hold the ladder steady in case of a stiff wind or if your jostling unintentionally shakes the ladder. Working with a partner also means someone is there to seek help should you fall off the ladder or suffer another type of injury that requires medical attention. * Use a trowel instead

of your hands. Digging into the gutter with your hands, even if those hands are covered by gloves, is an unnecessary risk that can leave you susceptible to injury. When cleaning the gutters, dig out the debris with a trowel. * Dump debris below into a large garbage can. When cleaning the gutter, do not carry a bucket with you to the top of the ladder. Carrying something as you climb up a ladder only increases your risk of injury. In addition, a bucket full of debris placed at the top of a ladder may tip over and compromise your balance.
When dumping the debris you dig out with your trowel, dump it into a large garbage bin below. If you miss the bin every now and again,

Beware falling leaves
Getting ready for winter Fall is a time to prepare homes, vehicles and even our psyches for the arrival of winter. To get your car cold-weather ready, check and repair these items now. • Tire pressure can drop in cold weather. When tires are underinflated, you lose fuel efficiency, so monitor and maintain tire pressure throughout the winter. • Switch from all-season to winter tires. Much as you wear winter boots to provide more traction and protection than sneakers, so should you equip your vehicle with tires that will stand up to winter terrain. • Check on the status of your battery and its starting power. Cold weather can put more strain on a car battery. A battery that is already weak may not turn over when you need it most. • Replace worn wiper blades and upgrade to a windshield fluid that is rated for subzero temperatures. Each of these items will improve visibility when winter precipitation is making its presence felt. • Schedule an oil change at the beginning of winter. Dirty oil can hinder cold-weather starts and, if coupled with low coolant levels, can make it difficult for the engine to turn over. • Keep jumper cables, a battery booster pack and warning cones in your vehicle. These can come to the rescue if
your battery dies and you're stranded on the side of the road. • While you're stocking the trunk or cargo bed, include a shovel, sand or cat litter, a flashlight, an ice scraper, water, and a blanket. These are good emergency items to have in
the event your car breaks down in the winter. You can dig your tires out of a snow drift with the shovel and apply litter to increase traction. The blanket will come in handy if you have to sit in a cold car for a while awaiting roadside service.
Watching leaves turn brilliant shades of color and fall from the trees is a favourite activity each fall. Drivers travel near and far to witness spectacular and colorful displays of fall foliage, hoping to catch the peak hues in their respective areas of the country. While falling leaves can be a sight to behold, those leaves can become a nuisance to drivers in various ways. Understanding certain inconveniences and safety risks posed by falling leaves can help motorists protect their vehicle and themselves. Leaves can do more than just stain driveways; they also can damage a vehicle's paint job. Should wet leaves, sap and other chemicals that leach out of the leaves stay on a car for an extended period of time, they can cause an outline stain and damage to the
paint. It's important to manually pick leaves off of the car's surface right after they fall. Do not sweep them away; otherwise the leaves can scratch the paint surface. When all the leaves have been removed, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle. Should stains be present already, use a commercial leaf-stain remover or automotive paint cleaner. Tackle one stain at a time. Leaves that fall can become trapped in air intake vents, eventually impeding flow and caus-
ing odors. Leaves that fall in the groove of the windshield by the windshield wipers should be removed. Use a highpowered shop vacuum to remove any leaves that are imbedded in the venting. Check other areas of the car where leaves can become problematic, such as under the vehicle or in the rear exhaust pipe. Wet leaves on the surface of roadways can be hazardous. Wet leaves can make roadways quite slippery, even as slippery as roadways when snow is falling.

CFIB commends government on 15 per cent cut in employment insurance rates for small business Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) president Dan Kelly joined Finance Minister Joe Oliver today as he announced a major reduction in Employment Insurance (EI) premiums for small business owners. The announcement was made at Value Wood Floors – a Toronto-area small business and member of CFIB. “This is a big one,” said Kelly. “The Small Business Job Credit will result in a 15 per cent net reduction in EI premiums paid by small businesses over the next two years. “I couldn’t be more pleased to stand beside Finance Minister Oliver as he announces half a billion for small firms in payroll tax cuts – the most harmful form of taxation affecting job creation and employee wages. “This will make it easier to hire new workers or invest in additional training to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. “In fact, CFIB estimates that this credit will create 25,000 person years of employment over the next few years.” As employers pay 1.4 times the rate of EI of their employees, CFIB has been a leading voice on EI reform for decades and has pushed for rate reductions at the earliest opportunity. Small firms will be pleased to know that on top of a 15 per cent reduction in premiums for 2015 and 2016, there is a further rate cut planned for all employers and employees in 2017, bringing rates down by a total of 22 per cent compared to 2014 levels. “Ensuring the hardearned money employers and employees pay into the EI system is strictly used for EI and workplace training purposes is critical,” added Kelly. “CFIB is monitoring
! y r a n o i ut
closely and is confident the new seven year break-even rate-setting mechanism will ensure that EI funds are used exclusively for the EI program over that time
frame.” More details about the Small Business Job Credit can be found on the Canada Revenue Agency website. CFIB is Canada’s
largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region. The credit is effective
for two years, beginning in 2015, and will be available to employers paying under $15,000 per year in EI premiums (or approximately $570,000 in EI assessable payroll).
As examples, the credit would be available to firms with no more than 14 employees earning $40,000 or up to 22 employees earning $25,000 per year.
