The varieties will be re-classi- fied to the Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) class effective -Au gust 1, 2021 and also include, AC Domain, Vesper and 5605 HR CL. Prior to this decision, AWC strongly encouraged the CGC to do an economic analysis to under- stand the full impact that will be felt throughout the Canadian val- ue chain of reclassifying varieties. The CGC’s decision fails to con- sider the agronomic performance of these varieties. AWC further points out that there have been no known complaints from glob- al buyers on the varieties being pulled from the CWRS class. “Farmers are choosing these va- rieties because they are high yield- ing, have better disease resistance and are early maturing,” said Kevin Bender, AWC Chair. “If the quality of these varieties has never been raised as an issue with our global customers then farm- ers should be able to choose them based on their agronomic advan- tage without losing the economic value of growing CWRS wheat.” AWC notes that the effects of moving these varieties will have a spillover effect throughout the value chain, especially impacting seed growers who have been sell- ing these varieties based on their CWRS classification. “Reclassification puts financial stress on farmers with the unex- pected need to replace varieties,” Bender said. “We would have liked to see the CGC consult with farmers and consider these economic impacts before making these changes.” April 24, 2018 Community Voice Page 9 Page 10 Community Voice April 24, 2018 LAKEWELL 4-H MULTI CLUB REPORT Submitted by Jean Hen- in need around the area.

But choosing a paint color can be challenging. Homeowners looking to update walls and com- plement decor may want to look at some of the more impactful colors that Pantone indicates will be pop- ular for the 2017 season. Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Pink Yarrow, and Greenery are some of the more eye-catching selections. Once colors are selected, consider these guidelines for using bolder colors in room designs. • Decide how big an impact you want to make. Are you looking for color overload or just a small focal point of vivid color? Re- member, using bold color doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue. Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold color display. Otherwise, rely on bold colors to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or moldings and trim. • Try bold in a small space. Many people are surprised at how well bold colors work in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colors. Try deep colors that can make the area seem intimate and even exot- ic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents, such as neutral colored fixtures and towels. • Go bold in the kitchen. Incorpo- rate a splash of color in the kitch- en without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favorite color and install glass inserts in the cab- inet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the color beyond. A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, Page 18 Community Voice April 24, 2018

When membranes in the the structure of a home. Dry air will Homeowners can remedy dry air in various ways. Some methods are relatively simple, while others may require substantial financial invest- ments and even some renovation. DIY remedies Do-it-yourself remedies are sim- ply ways to put moisture in the air. One of the easiest steps is to put bowls filled with water in front of or on heating registers or radiant heat- ing units in the house. The water will evaporate slowly into the home. Another and similar tactic is to boil a large tea kettle or pot of water to distribute moisture throughout a space. When showering, leave the door to the bathroom open to distribute steam throughout the house. For those who use the tub, allow the wa- ter to cool off and evaporate before pulling the drain. Humidifiers Humidifiers come as whole-house central units or portable devices. Portable units can be moved from room to room depending on where moisture is needed the most. These humidifiers hold a predetermined volume of water and mist it into the air when the unit is on. Central humidifiers work with the home’s HVAC system. They are hard-wired and plugged into the sys- tem. Water vapor is introduced into the air that will be forced through vents throughout the house. These systems work on the whole house at once, making them quite efficient. Many experts advise homeowners to keep their indoor home humidi- ty between 40 and 60 percent for ultimate comfort. Investing in a hygrometer to measure relative hu- midity will help homeowners keep humidity at a level that produces a pleasant and comfortable environ- ment. April 24, 2018 Community Voice Page 19

The following guide- extolled the virtues of hardwood ate the warmth and cozy feeling of Today, there are many different lines can make carpet shopping a bit easier. Type of carpeting There are many different types of carpeting, some of which are best suited to certain situations. For example, plush and saxony car- pets are better in low-traffic areas. These carpets may show footprints and also vacuum tracks and dirt, but they’re higher on the comfort spectrum than other types of car- pet. Berber, which is more flat and dense, helps mask stains and tracks. It is durable in high-traffic areas. Textured carpets like frieze are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask stains and are also softer on the feet than berber. Padding Padding can impact the way car- peting feels and how long it lasts. It isn’t always necessary to pur- chase the most expensive or thick- est padding. However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting you’re selecting and one that aligns with how you plan to use the room. You may be able to go with a thinner pad in low-traffic rooms and beneath dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose a thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as well. Installation Select a reliable carpet retailer and installer for your business. Competent installers will lay the carpeting in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and main- tain its durability for the life of the product. Shop around to find the right installer or even do the work yourself if you feel capable. Take time when shopping for carpeting, which is a substantial investment that can last for many years if the right material is chosen and installed correctly. April 24, 2018 Community Voice Page 21

According to HGTV and Statistics Brain, a new kitchen remodel for a kitchen measuring 12 by 12 feet may cost homeowners anywhere from $17,000 to $37,000. Before investing so much into their remodeling projects, home- owners should think carefully about the features that will im- prove their time spent at home. When planning a kitchen reno- vation, homeowners may want to consider the following upgrades to make the room more enjoyable while improving its functionality. Oversized sink Although high-efficiency dish- washers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be prefera- ble to double sinks, especially for homeowners who use lots of kitch- en tools when preparing meals. Soft-closing hinges When replacing cabinets (or just the hardware), consider installing soft-closing hinges and slides on doors and drawers. These devices eliminate slamming and caught fin- gers, reducing noise and injuries in the kitchen. Foot-pedal water operation When outfitting a sink, think about foot controls, which are pop- ular in doctors’ offices and hospi- tals. Turning on the water with the tap of a foot can reduce the transfer of pathogens to faucets from hands during food preparation. These pedals also free up hands for other tasks.

OTTAWA: On March 12, Employment and Social Devel- opment Canada announced the launch of Everyone Counts: the second nationally-coordinated Point-in-Time (PiT) Count of homelessness. Between March 1 and April 30, 2018, communi- ties in every province and terri- tory across Canada will conduct a PiT count. “Even though there aren’t any large cities in Yellowhead, we are not immune to homeless- ness. Every community, large and small, has people in need. This data will help develop ef- fective strategies that respond to homelessness at the local level,” stated MP Eglinski. The PiT counts will provide vital information to participating communities about individu- als experiencing homelessness, helping to identify their needs and plan community resources accordingly. The information collected will also contribute to a national portrait of home- lessness and support the Gov- ernment of Canada’s work in preventing and reducing home- lessness. Communities can also choose to implement a joint PiT count and registry week, which helps the community to create a by- name list of individuals experi- encing homelessness. This list can be used to link individuals to housing supports as part of the 20,000 Homes Campaign of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness. “All Canadians should have access to safe and affordable housing.
