Kelly Lafrentz is the RM of Estevan reeve, after being elected last November. He operates Kelly Lafrentz Trucking in Estevan. He has been a RM councillor for 3 years and the reeve since November 2010. As interim reeve after the previous reeve, Marie Dukart, suffered a stroke, what sort of challenges did you face after that loss? Well, some of the challenges were to replace her on some of the boards and committees that she sat on, so it took a little extra time to fill her spot in those places.

One-on-one with Jordan Baker

What are some of the big issues facing the RM in 2011? What are you guys focusing on this year? Well, some of the things we’re focusing on is continued development in our commercial districts. So some of the issues we have facing us there are lagoon construction and expansion, or sewer systems would be a big one. Oil development. The RM has become very busy in the last 18 months with drilling for oil. So that is a bit of a challenge because we’ve never had that pressure on our infrastructure, with all the equipment moving around in the area. We’re keeping close watch on that to make sure our infrastructure system doesn’t get abused and degraded without being addressed. Is that something that needs to be monitored closely? Yeah, whenever there’s an oil well gonna get drilled, it comes before our council for a drilling licence permit. So we will usually sit down with the prospective drilling operation and give them a haul route to go in and out of the location. And it’s kind of a road maintenance agreement that we do with every oil company when it comes to license a well, to make them aware that they are responsible for any undue wear and tear and damages and whatnot. Are those agreements a new policy of the RM? Yeah, we came up with a rate structure that we feel in the first year of development is equitable for them and for the RM. And we’ve done that through consultation with several oil companies and we explained our reasons for doing it. They understand them. They’ve been very good. They’ve been willing to work with us and pay those fees. Basically when you start a drilling operation like that from start to finish, you’re looking at probably in the neighbourhood of 100 loads of equipment coming in and out of there, which is over and above the ordinary use the road would receive. Do you find there is a balance you have to strike between agricultural, commercial and industrial? Yeah, there is. What we’re trying to do with the development is to expand our tax base, of course, create more revenue, so we that can deliver those services to all our ratepayers. But we do have to balance them all. We have a big ag sector and a commercial sector and acreages. We have lots of acreages, which isn’t really an issue, it’s going fairly well. We have lots of acreage development in the RM so we have to keep tabs on them. You want to make sure they’re somewhere that’s accessible so you don’t have to add more snowplow roads or more roadways to get to guys. How long have you really had to deal with oil as a big part of the RM? The past 18 months. It’s gotten where it’s fairly active, and seems to be getting a little busier all the time. Was there a trial and error period where the RM had to figure out how best to deal with the oil demand? Well, I’ve worked in the oil field my whole life, and I’m well aware of some of the issues other RMs have had with oil development, with the road wear out or road abuse. We were well aware ‘cause all around us they’ve had lots of issues. So we’ve learned from the other RM’s experience with oil development. We had a bit of a heads up on that end because we’ve seen it around. So we took a proactive approach before we had a problem, to put a fee structure in place that would address it to hopefully look after the maintenance costs associated with the added pressure on your infrastructure for hauling all that equipment in and out. The partnership between the RM and the City, how does it change the way you look at some of the services you provide? Well, there’s lots of development here and with our relationship we have with the City, which is quite good, we’ve come to resolve the development is good for either jurisdiction, and we’re working together to make sure that development stays in the Estevan area rather than go to another district. We’ve learned that by working together we can grow more efficiently than by being opposed and stifle the growth. It

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011 Page 3 started with water supply. Because the City has the water plant and can supply probably 15,000 people so their plant is underutilized. So rather than us duplicate that service, we’ve negotiated agreements with them to supply water into our infrastructure system, for that. Some of the other things we’re working on with them is park areas, Woodlawn Park Boundary Dam rec site is in the RM, but the City is working with us on those. We contribute substantially to the recreation facilities in the city, the new rink in particular. And then we make a lump-sum contribution to the rec fund for the other swimming pools and parks in the city because our residents do take advantage of them. We contribute substantially to the Estevan fire department. Just a whole host of things that since we’ve developed this relationship we’ve talked back and forth on many issues on both or to one or the other. We’ll receive some input from them or they’ll receive it from us. And what about in the health sector? Another one that we’re really concentrating on right now is, we formed a health committee. We’ve both designated funds to that. Some of the things we’re doing that, or the No. 1 thing we’re doing is doctor recruitment and retention. We’ve put forth some incentive plans to the clinics in Estevan, the med clinics. Packages for attracting doctors and keeping them here. We are lobbying our health district aggressively to get some equipment back in our hospitals such the ultrasound and a possible CT scan. And we’ve also just struck up an initiative to try and go on an exploration mission to start and establish, hopefully a doctors’ residency program at St. Joseph’s Hospital. That was initiated by our joint City-RM group. So we’re very active on that side because it just seems like nothing’s getting accomplished there. We thought we better rattle some chains and get things underway there. Right now that’s a big pursuit of the health group. Creighton Lodge was taken over by a collective of RMs. How much collaboration has to be done amongst the RMs? Well, the group that operates Creighton Lodge is led by the RM of Estevan, and includes the RMs of Coalfields, Cambria, Cymri, Benson, and Browning. There’s a member from each RM that sits on the board that directs Creighton Lodge. The administration side is run by the RM of Estevan. The building is actually owned by the RM of Estevan but its run jointly. Every RM contributes some money to it, for the operation. I think it’s a dollar per capita. The staff over at Creighton Lodge is absolutely phenomenal for the job they’re doing. Judy Pratt and Shelly Veroba, and all the staff. It couldn’t be better at Creighton Lodge. Will city expansion wind up encroaching on the RM at some point? Well we let the City annex some land from us recently. We negotiated an agreement with them that we would let them annex it and we receive 25 per cent of the tax revenue from the development of the property in perpetuity. And another part of our agreement on the commercial side is, the City concentrates on five acres and less and the RM concentrates on five and larger because we can provide those bigger parcels. Our developers are doing the bigger parcels. They do overlap from time to time, because of requirements of developers. They may need something the City can’t provide or the RM can’t provide. And we don’t do a lot of residential, we do a lot of acreage stuff. Another thing we worked on together was the truck bypass. We both had a fair amount of input in meetings with that. We’re a little disappointed in the Ministry of Highways dragging their feet on that. And some of the issues, I know the mayor’s been quoted, about the west end alignment. That is coming from our perspective because if they don’t do it correctly and get people over the trains, they will dive off on all the RM roads like they’re doing now. And then all that traffic is going to be on our RM roads, so that’s why the west end, it’s imperative they get that right. The bypass will be in our RM so we don’t want the truck route problems from the city inherited into our RM. We want it to be done correctly, so we participated in a few meetings with the engineering and Ministry of Highways people and they’ve been good and they’ve taken our concerns, and hopefully they’ll get it right.

Perspective Expressed Opinions Jordan Baker Estevan Mercury Reporter

Attack ads mean just one thing Get ready for an election Canada, our next one is just over the horizon. Ever since Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff told the public his party wouldn’t vote in favour of a budget that included corporate tax cuts and fighter jets, the top two political parties have been jockeying for their next election hook. The Grits want to know if you’re better off than you were when the Liberals were last in power. The Tories want you to think Iggy is a patriotic American who doesn’t care about Canada. The NDP is quietly figuring out if they will be in favour of the budget. I haven’t heard the Greens say boo; they don’t have the funding to campaign outside of election season. And the Bloc is the federal party that doesn’t exist outside Quebec, so during the election it doesn’t matter what they think. The threat of a spring election has given rise to the worst of all the many political tools: the attack ad. I find elections are never a sure bet to happen until these attacks

Page 4

start bombarding the airwaves, and they have. Attack ads often have an ominous voice spouting doom and gloom in the name of the opposition party. The country falling to shambles in the arms of the opposition is the predictable theme. Parliament comes back from its extended vacation next week, then in March expect the budget to get shot down by all those who can oppose. Iggy is going to be attacked by the Tories, and the Liberals will have to attack everybody. If they want seats they aren’t going to be able to simply steal from the Conservatives’ well. The political spectrum in our nation has a right-wing party and then several parties who bump elbows at varying degrees on the left side. Some Conservative voters change their stripes, but the voters who jump from party to party the most are those that can’t decide which party on the left is right for them. Each party has its own base, but those who don’t belong to a party will be the ones the Liberals have to unite under their red flag if they will see any success. Truthfully, it’s only if they can do that, that this election will even be worth it. Right now it’s expected the next government will be a Conservative minority, the same as the current one give or take a few seats. So why bother? With that result, we might as well just wait until next year to re-elect our Conservative minority. That result is feeling unfortunately inevitable at the moment. The last election had terrible voter turnout. It’s tough to see those numbers improving much if the election goes ahead this spring. Public opinion is very similar to the fall of 2008. Canada just does not want to vote. When people don’t vote, expect the leadership to remain the same. The boat only gets rocked when people decide they are fed up and decide to vote for a change. There looks to be two outcomes, either a Liberal or Conservative minority. I don’t like the sound of either. I’ll probably have to sit through another couple of months of political attacks no matter how much I don’t want to. It’s not easy getting what you want when it comes to politics; the leaders of the country have only disappointment to hand out.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011

Renovations continue at the Lodge Creighton Lodge continues to see support come through the doors of the retirement living complex. The lodge received three more donations recently that will help keep the renovations coming to the aging building. The lodge has been under the operation of a group of surrounding rural municipalities since the health region ceased operating it in the fall. Manager Judy Pratt said Creighton Lodge is “essential” to the southeastern Saskatchewan area, and noted a lengthy waiting list for the Estevan facility. “What we’re going to do now is update the building,” she said. “It’s an extremely old building. The whole building needs a facelift with painting. I want to tackle the kitchen next.” With the lodge full and people waiting to get in, Pratt said she is hoping to get some major refurbishing done to the dining hall by removing a wall and getting a lot more space to accommodate their large numbers. At the present time, there are 45 residents in Creighton Lodge. They have already replaced $10,000 worth of windows in the building, but Pratt added there are still 106 windows, or about $52,000 worth, to be replaced. Those replacements are made as funds become available. All new furniture for the dining area is something they are looking for. Pratt noted the furniture in the lounge is too soft and doesn’t provide the support the residents need, so furniture is a must as it ages as well. “What we have here is a mishmash of furniture. Some of it came when the family of a new resident comes in. They say, ‘You want this couch,’” Pratt said, and noted some of the furniture is 30 years old.

The lodge has begun actively fundraising again after a hiatus at the start of the year. They are continuing with the We’re Renovatin’ Creighton campaign. Donations of $5,000 or more will be enough to renovate a suite and give the donor naming rights for the room. Renovations include replacing baseboards and linoleum, as well as installing tub surrounds as more residents like to shower. New toilets, sinks, fridges, stoves are all set to be replaced and vanities are to be installed. Pratt said they won’t do any unnecessary work. If the sink is in good working order, for example, it wouldn’t be replaced. A concern besides the upkeep of the building is to maintain activities for the residents. Pratt said the residents are a savvy and active bunch and providing them with entertainment and things to do is something they need to keep on top of everyday. For the spring they are

First response unit to start providing care St. John Ambulance services are now available in Estevan, thanks to the formation of a new volunteer medical first responder unit in the city. The division has been steadily increasing in numbers since the idea to form an Estevan branch was brought up last fall. Corey Olver, division superintendent, started getting volunteers together to run the service and the group has been filling positions and adding to its active force that will be out in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We fill the gap between something happening and the ambulance getting there,â&#x20AC;? Olver said. Mark Arthur, public relations officer for the Estevan division, said the division will be strictly a brigade unit that will be present at gatherings and events in the community, but does not include a corporate training

unit. The group is operating out of the library for now. Arthur said there was a initially a good number of people coming forward as volunteers but they are always looking for more. In the busy summer months the more volunteers the better. At some events, w h e r e there are a large number of people, like hockey games or festivals, he said they might provide a couple of two-person units. Arthur said he has attended sporting events and provided treatment to athletes on occasion. The enthusiasm is strong among the volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a desire. Desire is such a huge part

of volunteerism,â&#x20AC;? he said. The group will be canvassing the neighbourhood to let people know the service is now available and people can contact the division if they would like the St. John Ambulance to attend an event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be building a larger profile. We want to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here now, feel free to contact us.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Olver got his CPR training about four years ago. He works at a coal mine and joined the mine rescue

team. The prerequisite for the rescue squad was to be trained in first aid. He is now certified as a medical first responder. Volunteers with CPR training will receive training to keep their certification up to date. Arthur noted they want to bring that certification up for everyone involved to an emergency medical responder, the same

level as firefighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corey saw a need for it in Estevan,â&#x20AC;? said Arthur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He contacted the St. John Ambulance in Regina and found a way to get it back to this community.â&#x20AC;? Last fall the wheels started to turn, and organizing the volunteer corps started to come together. The Estevan division is looking for corporate donations to

help grow the local service. Arthur said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to have our own vehicle, have a used van or something we can put a patient in.â&#x20AC;? The volunteers have biweekly meetings at the library at 6 p.m. For further inquiries on volunteering or any of their activities call Mark Arthur at 306891-9078.

THE TRADER EXPRESS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 2011

Change made to Aboriginal storytelling lineup There has been a change made to the agenda for the Aboriginal Storyteller launch this coming Tuesday at the Estevan Public Library. It was originally stated that Jason Chamakese would be one of the featured guests at the Feb. 1 launching party that celebrates Aboriginal Storytelling Month. Chamakese is now being replaced by Rodger Ross of Regina, well known independent film and video producer with

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A gracious Lamb can learn more about a problem-filled situation than one who is openly suspicious of what could be happening. A friend might offer some well-directed advice. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting adjusted to an unexpected change might be difficult for the Bovine who prefers things to go according to plan. But help could come from a most welcome source. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This could be a good time to get a head start on those careerrelated plans. The sooner you check out the pluses and minuses, the sooner you can act on your information. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A personal situation you thought would no longer present a problem suddenly could produce

almost 30 years of experience in media industries and graphic arts. Ross is a recognized traditional storyteller who adheres to the sacred oral tradition after spending many hours with elders, learning the stories at their feet. These elders included the late Emile Piapot, son of Chief Piapot, Walter Lavalee, Isadore Pelletier and the late Gordon Oakes and Albert Oochoo. Ross will be joined at the library by Rhonda Donais, sometimes known

some surprises. Try to sort things out with the help of trusted colleagues. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An upcoming move holds both anticipation and anxiety for Leos and Leonas who have some big decisions to make. Advice is plentiful, but it’s up to you to decide which way you want to go. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone from a previous project could provide valuable guidance on how to handle a current problem, especially where it might involve a legal matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business situation presents some unexpected complications. But rather than try to handle them all at once, it would be best to deal with them one at a time. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You just might get what you

as Tulip the Clown, who has been performing across Western Canada for over 20 years, telling her silly stories and First Nations legends as to how and why things came to be. The two will be appearing at the Aboriginal Storytelling Month launching party that begins at 1 p.m. and is being made possible through the courtesy of the local public library, the Southeast Regional Library and Library Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples Inc. want, despite the odds against it. In any event, be sure to thank all those people involved who believed in you and went to bat for you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Before you even hint at an accusation, remember that you’ll have to prove what you say. So be sure you have what you need to back up your comments. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A romantic situation takes an unexpected turn that favors some Sea Goats, but causes others to reassess how they’ve been handling the relationship. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise turn of events could unsettle the Water Bearer. But it also might help open up an entirely different way of working out an important matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A smoothly running operation could bump up against an obstacle. This is where your ability to assess situations and make adjustments can restore things to normal.

Snowmobile rally

The snowmobile club held its fifth rally on Jan. 22, organized at Kelly Lafrentz Trucking. The club maintains about 200 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails in the area and boasts a membership of about 75 people. The free ride began at noon with more than 60 riders, who returned to the starting point for a supper. Another rally will be held in Benson on March 5.

We will build your Dream Home!

By Samantha Mazzotta

You need to be able to set up and break down quickly, just as the pros do. Stick to just one repair or homeimprovement project at a time. If the project is going to take more than a day, plan it in stages so that at the end of each workday, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put the car back in, you have a good stopping point and can put away all the project materials and clean up without too much effort. Stay disciplined about cleaning up and storing everything away. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to put it off, and then suddenly itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two weeks later and your spouse is asking when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get the garage back ... and oh, by the way, since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your fault, you get to clean all the snow off the car since it was stuck outside during the snowstorm. (Not that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever happened to me.) HOME TIP: Save a little sawdust during woodworking projects: if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

tucked away into storage niches or inside a rolling tool chest. If most of your money is going into tools at this point, take a look at construction sites and note how work areas are improvised on site. For example, a piece of plywood set atop two sawhorses allows painters to place their paint and brushes within reach but can be quickly broken down and stored in their truck. The important thing with creating a workspace in a limited area is simplicity.

Creating Workspace in a Tiny Garage Q: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of workspace, but I want to have a good variety of tools for any repair job and want to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stored properly. Can I have a decent workspace in a tiny garage that has to be shared with my car? -- Karl in Philadelphia A: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very possible to build an adequate workspace in a small area and have room for storage besides. First, evaluate how much space you can create during a repair job. Can your car be moved onto the driveway or parked on the curb for a few hours while you work? This would temporarily open up more space. For storage, since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starved for floor space, think up. A pegboard installed on a wall is ideal for hanging up hand tools and gardening equipment. Folding workbenches and tables can free up space as well, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even possible to install a worktable that hinges to the wall, flips down for use, and then can be folded flat to the wall at the end of the day. Tool sets, like wrenches and drill bits, can be purchased in long, flat boxes that can then be

• If you want less rise in your cake, try using eggs straight from the refrigerator. This is especially good for sheet cakes that will be cut to stack. • Lay a salmon filet across the back of an overturned bowl. It will reveal any bones, because they pop up. Then you can remove the bones with a pair of tweezers. • “I love bakery baguettes for bread, but it goes hard before I can use it all. Now, when it is too hard to use, I chop it up and toss it in the food processor to make fresh breadcrumbs. I have a large, freezer-safe, zipper bag in the freezer to keep them in. Now I enjoy bakery bread guilt-free!” -- E.D. in Oregon • Give tough meat cuts a cold one: That is, marinate

them in beer. Add a can of beer to a high-sided pan, then lay your meat cuts in it and let them sit for 15 minutes on each side. • When rolling meatballs, give both hands a quick shot of cooking spray

before you get started. The ground meat does not stick so much, and it’s easier to get uniform sizes and shapes. • If you’re working on a project and need to hold a nail in place until you drive it in, consider a dab of Play-Doh. It works very well on horizontal projects, and it can be used briefly to hold up small wall-hanging

Harlequin China Q: My mom and dad were married in 1941. Their wedding china was the Harlequin pattern. I still have some of the pieces and wonder if you can tell me more about the pattern, and if I should keep or trash the dozen or so examples that I have. -- Connie, Joplin, Mo.

A: The Harlequin pattern was introduced by Homer Laughlin China Company in 1938. It originally was marketed in several vibrant colors, including maroon, mauve blue and spruce green, as well as all of the Fiesta colors except for ivory. It is interesting to note that the main outlet for this pattern was the Woolworth five and ten cent stores. Although prices vary from region to region, a tea cup generally sells for about $9.50; a dinner

plate, $14; a teapot, $88; and a gravy boat, $23. *** Q: I have an old leather hatbox made by George B. Bains and Sons, and it appears to be extremely old. What can you tell me about this company? -- Ellie, Russellville, Ark. A: The George B. Bains and Sons was located at 1028 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia during the Victorian era.

SNOWMOBILE ROUTES AROUND THE CITY OF ESTEVAN The snowmobile routes are indicated by the bold dashed line. CITY OF ESTEVAN SNOWMOBILE BYLAW – ROUTE MAP The snowmobile route, as indicated by the dark dashed lines on the route map, may be lawfully travelled on by snowmobile operators between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. The designated route is to be used solely for the purpose of entering and exiting the corporate limits of the City of Estevan. Speeds on the route are not to exceed forty kilometers per hour and snowmobile operators are required to follow the rules of the road pursuant to Section 219 of the TrafÀc Safety Act. Any person who contravenes any provisions of this bylaw is guilty of an offense and liable on summary conviction – For the Àrst offence, a Àne of not less than $200.00 and not more than $1,000.00 and for second and any subsequent offence, a Àne of not less than $400.00 and not more than $2,000.00. View the actual bylaw online at www.estevan.ca CITY OF ESTEVAN SNOW REMOVAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the goal of the snow removal policy? The goal of the snow removal policy is to provide a timely, adequate and cost effective level of service so that streets are passable and vehicles can move in the City. Once the initial clean-up is completed standard procedure of Public Works is to continue to widen and grade streets. A copy of the full policy is available at www. estevan.ca When does the City start to clean up after a snow storm? Public Works monitors the streets and the major response to a snow storm does not generally start until it has stopped snowing. It is dangerous due to reduced visibility and ineffective to clear Priority 1 areas more than once if the streets are passable. Streets are monitored and intersections will be sanded or trouble areas cleared if necessary. Who do we call to report icy streets, blocked intersection or other snow related issues? Please call 634-1800 during regular hours of 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. After hours, please call the after-hours emergency number at 634- 3770. The after hour calls are directed to an answering service who will forward calls to the appropriate persons. As well, Estevan Police Services monitor the streets after hours and will request that the intersections be sanded or trouble areas be cleared. How does the City determine what streets get cleaned first? The City classifies the streets into 3 priorities: Priority 1 – Arterial Streets Streets with high volumes of traffic and main routes through and around the City such as 4th Street – average daily traffic volume of more than 8,000. Priority 2 – Collector Roads Streets with somewhat lesser volumes of traffic and designed to route traffic from local streets to the Arterial Streets such as Nicholson Road – average daily traffic of between 1,000 and 8,000. Priority 3 – Local Streets Streets that generally only serve the people that live in that area with low volumes of traffic and mostly residential – less than 1,000 average daily traffic volume. Within Priority Three there are some streets that are

extremely narrow and have to be windrowed and transported away in the same day such as Grundeen Crescent. Will the City complete some areas more than once in a major snowfall before all streets are completed? Yes, if the Priority 1 and 2 become impassable those streets would be cleared of snow again to ensure that traffic can move. Can home owners blow snow from their sidewalks, driveways and parking lots into streets? No, property owners cannot as it makes it more difficult for the city to complete a proper cleanup; it causes the streets to be rougher than necessary, causes a hazard to motorists and is prohibited by the Traffic Bylaw. The only place this is permitted is the downtown business district as they have nowhere else to shovel the snow to. Should we keep our sidewalks clear of snow? Yes, the Traffic Bylaw requires it as it makes it safer for pedestrians and those people that have to walk on the streets for work purposes such as letter carriers and meter readers. Also please make sure that extension cords crossing sidewalks to vehicles do not create trip hazards. Can we pile snow from the sidewalks on the streets? No, the only place this is allowed is the downtown business district as these buildings do not have any other area to move the snow to. Can home and business owners pile snow on their own private properties adjacent to alleys and streets? Yes, however make sure that the piles are not so high as to create a blind corner limiting visibility for pedestrians and motorist Can home and business owners pile snow on existing windrows? No, this creates visibility and driving hazards, makes it more difficult and time consuming to remove the windrows and is prohibited by the Traffic Bylaw. Can snow be piled in city alleys and streets? No this eliminates access for garbage collection, fire protection and other emergency services and is prohibited by the Traffic Bylaw. However it is permitted in cul-de-sacs as long as the snow is piled in the centre of the cul-de-sac only as other piles of snow impact

neighbors and makes snow removal more difficult. Can I park my spare vehicle or Motor Home on the Street? Yes, however vehicles are not permitted to be parked on any streets in excess of 24 hours and cause a lot of problems for snow removal and traffic. Can I park on the streets for less than 24 hours? Yes, however in the event of a major snowstorm we ask that all vehicles be parked in driveways or other areas where possible. In the event of a Major snowstorm the City plans to have all areas windrowed where required as soon as possible, providing equipment is operational. Please do not park your vehicles on the streets if possible as the vehicles access for snow removal equipment and have greater potential of being damaged by other vehicles and equipment. When are City snow dump areas used? The City Snow dump sites are operational from 6am –

10pm, city equipment does not operate at these locations outside of these hours. The City also asks that: • Children are kept away from snow dump sites and piles. These are dangerous areas when equipment is working, as well as voids in the piles may collapse trapping children. • Please keep clear of snow clearing equipment and crews. If possible choose an alternate route to avoid delays. • Please keep back 20m of Sanding equipment, as they will be discharging sand at intersections of streets, lanes, and high traffic zones. • Please keep all emergency exits buildings clear of snow and ice. Your cooperation and patience is greatly appreciated. BYLAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE ISSUING TICKETS FOR INFRACTIONS.

S’mores Indoors For those of us who could use an unexpected surprise to chase away the winter doldrums, here’s an idea that’s hard to beat. No, it’s not moving to a sunny beach somewhere far away. It’s making mouthwatering s’mores -- indoors! Sound impossible? It’s not! Just swap out a classic campfire for your microwave, then grab the ingredients, and you’ll have a fingerlicking-good snack for everyone in the family in seconds. Here’s how to put smiles on everyone’s faces in three easy steps: 1. On a small saucer, place a piece of a Hershey’s chocolate bar on top of one half of a graham cracker. Add one large marshmallow, or several mini marshmallows. 2. Cook in your microwave on high for about 10-15 seconds, or until marshmallows puff and grow. 3. An adult should remove the plate from the microwave, top with the other cracker half and gently press down on the gooey marshmallow. Let cool a bit so the snack isn’t too hot. Make several and serve

with big glasses of milk. For extra fun, gather everyone around in a circle on sleeping bags, wrap yourselves in blankets, sing your favorite camp songs and tell stories as you savor your treat. Note: If you don’t have a microwave, a toaster oven works fine, too. Cook the layered cracker, chocolate and marshmallow on the tray at 350 F until the marshmallow begins to brown. Remove and top with the other cracker half. Six s’mores

Each chapter covers fitness and food, with specific plans for working out and eating right.

Wedding Day Transportation Options Abound Couples have many decisions to make regarding their wedding ceremony and reception. One of those decisions conerns transportation to and from the special event. There are many options in wedding transportation. The more traditional options include renting a car or limousine. The Bridal Association of America reports that the average couples spends $400 to $500 for an automotive rental. However, prices may vary depending on geography and the type of vehicle rented. Wedding transportation is perhaps something grooms-to-be can get excited about. After all, we’re talking about cars -- some fancy, some large, and many decked out with different features. Plus, it’s traditionally the responsibility of the groom to arrange transportation to and from the ceremony, reception and the hotel or honeymoon destination. Grooms responsible for arranging transportation can consider the following options. • Limousine: A limo is one of the most traditional methods of transport on a couple’s wedding day. A limousine’s size enables them to carry the bridal party in its entirety. Because the bride and groom often do not see each other before the ceremony, two limos may be rented, one larger for the bridal party, and one smaller for the bride and her parents, depending on personal preference. • Classic car: Sports car enthusiasts may want to make an entrance -- and

ditional limo has morphed into the stretch SUV of popular models, including the Cadillac Escalade, Ford Expedition or even a stretch Hummer. Because of their popularity, these rentals may be snatched up quickly. Be

sure to book well in advance of the big day. • Party Bus: Many couples are leaning toward a party bus rental, which may be a single- or doubledecker bus that can fit scores of people inside. These are particularly attractive to couples with a very large bridal party, or those who hope to begin the celebration even before reaching the reception hall. • Horse-drawn carriage: Some couples truly want the fairytale feel on their wedding day. A horsedrawn carriage can evoke feelings of a Cinderella-type day. The carriage tends to be best suited to warm weather. For winter weddings, a horse-drawn sleigh might make a better alternative. • Motorcycle: Exciting couples may want to ride off into the sunset on the back of a roadster or sports bike. • Horses: Horses can

Honeymoon Planning How-To With all the work that goes into planning a wedding, it can be easy for couples to overlook their own honeymoons. But in the middle of all those seating arrangements and reception hall negotiations, couples also need to plan and look forward to the rest and relaxation that awaits, which will no doubt be a well-deserved escape once the wedding has come and gone. Couples can take the following advice to ensure their getaway goes off without a hitch. • Be budget-conscious. Many couples could enjoy a honeymoon to Siberia in the dead of winter after their big day has passed. After all the stress of planning and paying for the wedding, couples will likely just enjoy the time away. Take this into consideration when planning a honeymoon. If a dream trip isn’t in the budget after all the wedding bills have come due, don’t fret. A less expensive getaway is still a getaway, and couples will enjoy their well-deserved break no matter where it is they’re putting their feet up. • Plan an off-season honeymoon. That dream honeymoon might be affordable after all if couples can wait till it’s not the height of tourist season. Most weddings occur during the summer months, when tourist season is in full swing. Couples who can put off

their honeymoon until the off-season will no doubt find their dream honeymoon is much more affordable. • Start early. It’s never

too early to start planning the honeymoon. The earlier couples begin to research

possible destinations, the better feel they will have for what they can and can’t afford. Research can be done well in advance to give couples an idea of what their dream trip will cost. But don’t book any flights or make any reservations too far in advance. The best deals are often available a few months before the trip. • Spread the news that you’re newlyweds. Hotels

love hosting newlyweds, and many will upgrade rooms for recently married guests. Couples should not be too brash about it, as fully booked hotels won’t be able to upgrade their guests. But let the hotel know you’re on your honeymoon when checking in, and they might just upgrade your room and comp you a bottle of champagne as a gift. • Think outside the box. When asked about a dream honeymoon, couples will often bring up Hawaii or even Paris. While those are beautiful places to spend a honeymoon, they’re also expensive. Fortunately, there are a bevy of locales, be it domestic or international, that aren’t nearly as pricey as the most popular honeymoon destinations but still make wonderful options for a honeymoon getaway couples won’t soon forget.

Avoid Common Wedding Scams gown is not enough. Make sure the model number, price, details regarding deposits, alterations, etc., are included. DJs can write how many hours they will be playing music, how many breaks they will take, who exactly will be handling the wedding itself, and other details. • Check who will be servicing your wedding. On occasion a business may subcontract its services. For example, the photographer you meet at the studio may not be the photographer who shows up at your wedding. If you have a preference as to who services your event, be sure to request that person

can protect couples from potentially going into business with a company that should not be trusted. • Get word-of-mouth recommendations. A couple who has used a particular bridal vendor and had pleasant results is the best advertisement. Ask friends and family members who have gotten married who they used for flowers, photos, music and more. Using the same people is not being a copy-cat; it’s being a shrewd consumer. • Contracts are essential. Have all of the details of the business transaction spelled out in a contract that both the vendor and you sign. Writing “Size 8”

and have it included in the contract. • Obtain certification. Some scams are more subtle. For instance, bridal shops who remove designer labels from gowns because they are not authorized retailers is a subtle scam. Another is jewelry stores that misrepresent the quality of diamonds and other jewelry. Be sure to get legitimate certification when purchasing anything of value. • Ensure the vendor has the equipment described. Some limousine companies may send out flyers advertising highend vehicles they don’t actually own or have ac-

cess to. They subsequently arrive on your wedding day with a different vehicle. Without a contract specifying the vehicle of your choice, you have little recourse against the company. Filter out shady brokers by asking to come inspect their vehicles on an off-day, like Tuesday afternoon. You want to verify that they indeed own the limo, and that it’s in good condition. • Skimpy floral arrangements. Upon booking a florist, most businesses will sit down with couples and work up a sample bouquet or arrangement based on personal preferences. Come the wedding day,

however, couples might find their arrangements have considerably fewer flowers in them or they’re not the blooms originally chosen. Flowers are expensive, and some florists cut costs by skimping on the amount of actual flowers (not filler) they use. Be sure contracts spell out how many flowers will be in each arrangement, what type of flowers, how many centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. Be sure you can enjoy your wedding and get the services you paid for by being savvy consumers. Don’t simply open up your wallet to the first vendor you meet. © 2009 Merle Norman Cosmetics, Inc.

Matthew and Ellen had the wedding of their dreams on a beautiful June day. All of the details went off without a hitch, or so they thought. When the time arrived to receive their wedding photo albums and video a few months after the wedding, the photographer who had promised them the world closed up shop, filed for bankruptcy and absconded with the new couple’s precious memories. Tales of wedding woes frequent the news, especially as wedding season approaches. Stories about reception sites that have double-booked rooms, photographers who have not delivered photos, bridal gown shops that don’t have a dress finished on time and so many similar events are no longer a rarity. The majority of wedding vendors are respectable businesses looking to provide couples with the ideal services and memories of their special day. However, some other vendors are just looking to make money at all costs. Avoiding trouble with your wedding means taking matters into your own hands and thoroughly protecting yourself. • Investigate the business or individual before exchanging money. A simple search online for reviews or checking with the Better Business Bureau should reveal if a business has any complaints against it. Complaints can range from bad service to lawsuits.

Think Outside of the Wedding Favor Box Most couples plan to thank guests for attending their weddings by issuing favors at the end of the festivities. Being creative and tying the favor into the theme of the wedding are creative ways to show you care. Wedding favors can be anything the couple desires. Throughout the years there have been some favor standards that many

couples fall back on when they’re short on ideas. Matchbooks printed with the wedding date, Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle, drink stirrers, and candles are all classic favor options. If you desire something unique, consider these options. • Candy: Skip the almonds and go for something guests are sure to enjoy ... chocolate. Custom

engrave chocolate bars to feature your wedding date information and your names. Or how about setting up a candy bar where guests can fill up their own goodie bags with favorite treats? • Useful tools: Instead of the drink stirrers or coaster sets that will end up collecting dust, think about household items guests can really use. What about

an ice cream scooper so memories of your wedding will always be sweet? Who doesn’t love to barbecue? A barbecue sauce basting set will be a grill-side must. Depending on budget, you also can choose ice buckets, an engraved napkin holder or a picnic basket filled with picnic essentials. • Plants: Send guests home with something they can plant, whether flower

seeds, seedlings or a small houseplant. As your love grows, so will the plants in every guest’s home. • Fun ideas: Having a beach wedding? Customprint labels for lip balm or sunscreen. Winter brides and grooms may add a tag to earmuffs or scarves that give the wedding date details. If you love a particular musical artist, give guests a CD with favorite songs.

• Let them eat cake: Inquire whether your baker can make miniature wedding cakes in the likeness of your larger one. Then everyone can take home a replica. • Personalized photo: One of the easiest ways for guests to remember your wedding is to have a photo reminder. Engraved frames with a photo of the happy couple will be classic gifts.

Couples Saying ‘I Do’ to Destination Weddings Are you thinking of heading out of town for your wedding? If so, you’re not alone. Conde Nast Bridal Group’s American Wedding Study (2006) reported that 16 percent of couples are now choosing to have a destination wedding. While you may think they’re for the rich and famous, destination weddings can actually be less expensive than traditional celebrations closer to home. This may be advantageous to brides and grooms who are feeling the effects of today’s economic crunch. That’s because destination weddings generally have smaller guest lists, and many of the “extras” that are tacked on to a traditional wedding are covered in the allinclusive price of a destination event. So you can cut down on the cost of the $20,000 to $30,000 average-priced wedding, particularly if guests are paying for their own tickets. Destination weddings are for individuals who want to put the focus on fun. They enable you to pump up the enjoyment factor and marry a vacation and a wedding into one handy package. They also start the honeymoon at the point of arrival at your destination. One-of-a-kind memories are created with

a destination wedding, particularly when exotic locales are the backdrop for your celebration. Because travel is involved, destination weddings are often facilitated with the help of a travel agent or wedding planner. This person can help you work out all of the details of the wedding, primarily when you’re working with vendors that may be out of state or out of the country. Keep in mind that if you have your heart set on all of your friends and family being able to attend your wedding, destination weddings may not be the way to go. That’s because even with the best planning, it’s relatively impossible for everyone’s schedules to coordinate for this kind of event. While there certainly are negatives to having a wedding away from home, the growing list of positives attracts more and more couples each year: • reduced fuss over a wedding that takes place at home, where most of the planning is being handled by the couple • budgetary factors, including lower costs for a less elaborate affair • informal choices for wedding attire, saving even more money • something different

for the couples who like to stand out • alternatives for second weddings or those who prefer less tradition • loosening of marriage laws overseas, which make it easier for couples to tie the knot in foreign locales • the opportunity for “destination anniversaries,” where couples can revisit their wedding site for even more memories Couples looking to add excitement to their wedding without much fuss can turn to destination weddings when tying the knot.

Money Merging Strategies for Young Couples Among the many decisions newlyweds must make, deciding how to combine their incomes and share financial decision-making is at the forefront. Even in single-income households, individual assets and debts are typically merged, requiring couples to work together to determine their financial future. Here are some strategies for a successful money merger. • Honesty is the best policy. Along with trust and honesty, open communication about finances is important in building a strong marriage. Without these components, it’s difficult to work together as a team toward common financial goals. Each person needs to be aware of any assets or outstanding debts belonging to their spouse. It’s okay for couples to have separate accounts so long as there are no secret accounts. Having joint checking, savings and credit card accounts creates transparency and requires couples to communicate clearly and work together. Even if only one partner generally signs the checks and balances the accounts, ideally both partners should have a clear sense of the financial picture. • Make a plan. Create a budget that you can stick to that realistically reflects future spending. Decide who is going to have primary responsibility for writing checks or how you’re going to share them. Set a time to sit down together every month when it’s time to pay bills to talk about current and future spending so you’re on the same page. Agree on discretionary spending and saving after bills and expenses have been paid. The easiest way to keep money from undermining your marriage is to make a plan together, agreeing on where the funds will come from and how they will be spent each month. • Balance the bills. More often than not, couples merging their finances have different incomes and amounts of accumulated debt. Couples need to agree on how much each person should contribute to the household and how past debts are to be paid off. There are a number of basic ways to divide the financial pie. If a couple has similar incomes and debts, a 50/50 split is a simple solution. A couple can decide to each

contribute a set percentage of their incomes towards expenses and purchases. Previous debts can be absorbed to become a shared expense or remain the responsibility of the spouse who accumulated them. Discretionary spending towards the household or things like vacations can be treated the same as other household expenses while personal purchases might be considered the responsibility of the individual. There are countless ways to determine how finances are shared, but the important thing is that you and your partner are clear about each others’ expectations when it comes to spending and saving.

SLATER In Loving Memory of Our Precious Son and Brother CURTIS Who died in a tragic work related accident six years ago today, January 28, 2005 Age 23 Years The moment that you died, Our hearts were torn in two. The one side filled with heartache, The other died with you. Our hearts are still as broken, As they were on that sad day, Though six years have passed and gone, The heartache hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone away. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. They say in time one does forget, To some it may be true, But how on earth could we ever forget, Such a special person as you! - Forever loved, forever missed by your Mom and Dad (Donna and Pat) and sister (Amber-Lee and family).
