I can honestly say, for once, I was actually star struck. One of the ‘coolest’ things (do kids still say ‘cool’?) about what I do for a living is all the incredible people I get to meet. I’ve met rock stars, celebrated authors, politicians at all levels of government, television personalities, and movie stars. Although, very cool, none have left me actually awestruck. I got a call last week from Adrian Pruden. He’s a local ‘good guy’ with the Airdrie Oilmen’s Association. The Oilmen were putting on a ‘White Collar Boxing’ fundraiser in support of the Airdrie Food Bank, Community Links, and Stop Bullying that features boxers representing law enforcement officers going up against boxers that work in the oil industry. I tell him I don’t have my tickets yet and he tells me he is delivering them to my office. A few hours later, Adrian pulls up in front of my office. Looking out the window, I can see he’s brought an entourage with him. As they pour out of their vehicles, I am awestruck. Out comes five-time Canadian boxing champ, George Chuvalo. In his entire career, he was never knocked down or knocked out. He went toe to toe full rounds twice with Muhammad Ali. “He’s the toughest guy I ever fought,” said Ali of Chuvalo after the fight. From the other side of the vehicle, out comes Fitz ‘The (continued on page 2) PROPERTY PARTNERS A Division of Dione Irwin Real Estate Inc.

Then, just when you think it can’t get any better, a story writer’s dream steps out… Marvin ‘The Weasal’ Elkind. I say a story writer’s dream because, not only was this guy Muhammad Ali’s personal driver, but he also drove for the legendary Jimmy Hoffa. The conversations he must have overheard throughout his career and the people he must have encountered would surely fill several books. For the next hour, they oblige me with some photos and stories of yesteryear. I will no doubt, use them for fodder in future writings. George answers questions he’s probably been asked a thousand times before. He’s soft spoken for a man whose fame is tied to a sport considered by some to be violent. When speaking of opponents he’s faced, he’s respectful. It is easy to see why he, himself, is held in such high regard by the likes of Joe Frazier and George Forman, and despite an absence from the ring of over forty years, he is still loved everywhere he goes. Fitz is passionate about his representation of the Anti-Bullying cause he speaks for. Still in his forty’s, he maintains an active presence in the boxing world and even trains others at his gym in Waterloo, Ontario. You would expect a man still considered to be at the top of the boxing world to be a little cocky… maybe even a little obnoxious. But he is quite humble, choosing to speak more about his anti-bullying message than his own incredible successes. Marvin is a character like no other. I remember seeing Danny DeVito play him in a movie. I can honestly say that, despite Danny DeVito’s performance as ‘The Weasel’, the movie did not depict just how colourful the real ‘Weasel’ truly is. In our short chat, he was able to give me some insight into the world of mobsters that left me wanting for more. I couldn’t resist asking him the one question that I’m sure everyone asks. “Mr. Elkind… do you know where Jimmy Hoffa’s body is?” He smiles and looks me in the eye as he says, “In the foundation of the Renaissance Hotel in Detroit, Michigan.” So, how is it that I can talk to a politician or rock star without looking like a star struck groupie, yet dang near step on my tongue when speaking with three fellas of yesteryear glory? I think it’s the same reason everyone else admires them. The one thing I found common between these three men was that they never spoke poorly of former adversaries or colleagues... whenever asked about someone else, the answers were always respectful and positive. They didn’t embellish their own accomplishments, but rather chose to speak of the accomplishments of others. They are humble men with hearts that they wear on their sleeves. It’s no wonder they continue to be loved, not only by Canadians, but by those from around the world. See photos on page 17.

What happens in a real estate transaction when the lender does not fund the mortgage on time? Great question! The answer depends on a number of factors including: 1. Did the seller perform their obligations as far as delivery of a transfer of land and real property report with compliance on a timely basis? 2. Did the buyer meet all of their remaining obligations, including putting up their cash injection (from their own resources or bridge financing), obtaining insurance and fulfilling all of their mortgage conditions? 3. Is the seller accommodating or not? Depending on the answers to these questions, the consequences could be as minimal as a late interest penalty to be paid to the seller (either the same interest saved on the mortgage advance or a penalty of the prime rate plus 3%), or as severe as the termination of the contract by the seller. Somewhere in between these 2 extremes is also the possibility of the buyer not getting possession of the home until the lender forwards the funds.

Here’s the Scoop - April 2, 2015 Coopers New Listing Winking The kindergarten teacher was standing outside her room as the children entered one morning. Along came little David, deliberately winking his left eye. “Why, David,” said the teacher, “Are you winking at me?” “No, just got my turn signal on,” David replied, making a neat left turn into his room. Diet Tips A few friends and I were discussing diet tips. When it was mentioned that getting enough exercise and sleep were just as important as watching food intake, someone responded with surprise that sleep was a factor. Another replied: “Of course sleep has a lot to do with dieting. The only time I’m not eating is when I’m sleeping!” Fancy Restaurant While on vacation, our family went to dine at a fancy restaurant. Our young girls were quietly playing under the table while we ate. A nearby couple kept staring at us, which annoyed me because the kids were not being disruptive. Finally the woman leaned over and said, “You should know that your girls are picking gum off the bottom of the table and eating it.” $749,900 New Listing SOLD $714,900 Coopers $719,900 Turn Key Fully Developed * Fully developed * Walk out back path * Quartz throughout * Custom built ins, 3 fireplaces, * Private screen room * Bonus/media room $299,900 Coopers * 2350 sq.ft * walk up backing paths * Stunning Kitchen * Huge west facing deck * Upgrades throughout * Custom built with approx. 3900 sq.ft of fully devel’d space. * 4 bedrooms plus hobby room. * Media area. * Low maintenance landscaping * Heated garage with lift * Central air & more Luxstone Great View $199,900 $373,444 SOLD tammy forrest perso nable. pro fessiona l. prov e n.

Not What You Expected Walking along the beach, Dave tripped over a half-buried kerosene lantern. He rubbed its side and sure enough, a genie materialized. “I can’t grant your wishes,” explained the freed spirit, “but I’ll give you three gifts for releasing me: a potion to cure ill health, a very large diamond, and a dinner date with a famous movie star. By tomorrow afternoon, you will have received all these gifts.” When Dave returned home from work the next evening, he excitedly asked his mother if anything had been delivered. “Yes,” she replied. “It’s been an unusual day. At 2 p.m., a 55-gallon drum of chicken soup arrived. About a halfhour later, a telegram came saying that a long-lost relative had left you a minor-league baseball stadium.

Airdrie, AB E-mail: [email protected] | Web: www.air-alta.com It doesn’t matter who you talk to, every person says, “Be yourself,” but even the people saying these two strong words do not necessarily always follow their own advice. It is 100% safe to say that no matter how hard we tell ourselves that other people’s opinions do not matter, deep down, the harsh words of others do impact the decisions we make. For example, if you are really excited about a new event that just occurred in your life, and you have one single person telling you it is not going to work out for whatever reasons they Check out our newsletter online @ choose to www.countrygardencrystals.ca/news.html attack you with, all of a sudden your level of excitement turns into second guessing and confusion. You can tell yourself over and over again that this is your life and the opinions of others do not matter; however, if the words hurt deep enough, they echo in your head causing anger to build as you expect an apology you do not receive. I can tell you that not everyone on earth is going to agree with the decisions you make and you truly cannot please everyone. However, if you decide to make a change in your life, it will either be a lesson or a blessing and no matter what the outcome is, it is YOUR choice. Surround yourself with people that will support you and block out the haters’ comments because there is nothing worse than failing and hearing, “I told you so.” Instead, you want to hear, “Tomorrow is a new day.” It is an amazing thing to learn from other people’s mistakes, but please keep in mind that a mistake in their life could be your future success. Just because it was a wrong path for them, does not mean it will be wrong for you. Each person differs, with hobbies, passions, pet peeves, emotions, coping skills, love, career choices, and so much more! Do not let the words of one single person change the path you are taking. Hear what they have to say and you can either choose to let it motivate you, or break you. At the end of the day, if your decision makes you smile, you made the right choice. Your smile is on your face, not anyone else’s... let your smile change the world; do not let the world change your smile.

Volunteers are trained through CRA and will be on-hand all day on Wednesdays during March and April. The program can also do taxes for past years.
