Prairie Fun Days This annual event is a unique and rewarding way to spend a weekend in the country. On Saturday, August 23, you are invited to explore the first batch of 23 exceptional locations in the northern zone of Camrose County. Experience plenty of pleasant surprises as you enjoy the tranquility of a self-guided driving excursion. One day later on Sunday, your drive will take you to equally interesting locations in the southern portion of the County. You are guaranteed to experience downhome hospitality with special activities and scruptious goodies planned for both days. Another highlight of Prairie Fun Days is the hay bale art you will pass as you complete the route. Clearly, imaginations have been working overtime considering the masterpieces which have been created out of miscellaneous odds and ends and square or round bales of hay, straw and greenfeed. There is more than pride up for grabs in the Havin’ a Hay Day Bale Art Contest sponsored by Peavey Mart. Some serious prizes for the best work will be won. There is still time to enter!

Parks Day celebrated at Miquelon Lake Photos by Murray Green, Camrose Booster
The 2nd and 3rd St. Albert Girl Guides took a break from a bird watching assignment to enter the sand castle building contest during Parks Day at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park July 19. The builders were, from left, Isabella Giordano, Amanda Wachniak, MiKenna Smith, Miya Andrich, Laurel Ross and Cassie Johansen.
Two-year-old Violet Taylor learned about a different kind of a cookie: a tree cookie.
A learning model of how beavers are kept busy explained how and why they make dams at the lake and in other waterways in the area was part of Parks Day July 19.
Aisia and Ethan Eremenko of Sherwood Park watched education officer Erin Sekulick demonstrate how owls spot its prey by turning their head.
Camping kits were on display at the park. Alberta Parks is gathering equipment for making it accessible to everyone.
Park interpreter Morgan Cole and local plant detectives, from left to right, Jaylynn, Annastacia and Devon Krezanoski, and Aurora Westfall used map keys to find clues.

BATTLE RIVER SCHOOL DIVISION #31 SCHOOL OPENING INFORMATION 2014-15 SCHOOL YEAR
Our Mission The Battle River School Division, in partnership with parents and the community, will ensure that each student acquires the necessary knowledge, skills, and core values to be a caring, productive member of our democratic society.
Division Senior Leadership Team Message
SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
On behalf of the teachers, administrators, and support staff, we would like to welcome each and every student to Battle River School Division for the 2014-2015 school year. Staff will continue to strive to achieve the vision: Every Student, Every Day, A Success by providing a holistic educational experience focused on the academic, character, and relationship development of each student. We are looking forward to working together with parents and the community this year to ensure students are well prepared for their future. In addition, we’ve had a number of leadership changes and, as a result, are welcoming several new members to the BRSD Division and School Administration teams, as listed on this page. 2014-2015 promises to be an exciting time that will bring many rewards and successes for each student in Battle River School Division. Let’s get started!
Due to longer instructional days, most “Feeder Schools” have additional ‘feeder days’ on which students will not be in attendance. Holden, Ryley, Allan Johnstone and Cornerstone Christian School are operating with a four-day week. Principals at “Feeder Schools” and at the four-day week schools will likely distribute a slightly modified school year calendar for their students.
Learning Institute
OCTOBER
Schools, Division Office, and other worksites in Battle River School Division #31 will be closed on August 28, 2014 to permit all staff to participate in a Learning Institute. School sites will also be closed on August 29.
NEW REGISTRATIONS Students new to Battle River School Division #31 should register at the school they will be attending and provide a birth certificate when registering.
BUSING SERVICE
Students residing in the Beaver County, Camrose County and Flagstaff County Wards Students new to these wards should register for bus service by calling the Transportation Department at 780-672-6131, extension 5244, or 1-800-262-4869, extension 5244, well in advance of school opening so that efficient routes can be planned. Students who were transported to a Division-operated school by bus during the last school year will be included in our plans for the 2014-2015 school year. Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the Director or Assistant Director of Transportation. Students residing in the City of Camrose Transportation will be provided for students within the City of Camrose on the following basis: • Eligible students (those who live further than 2.4 kilometers from their designated school), will be served first at no cost; those students who were registered in a Battle River Regional Division school last year and were eligible for busing will be planned for again this year. Reminder: Bus passes will not be sent to schools, but must be picked up at the BRSD office. Students will be expected to produce their bus passes upon entering the bus. • Non-eligible students (those who live closer than 2.4 kilometers from their designated school) will be served next, on a first-come, first-served basis, for an annual fee of $375.00 per student in grades 1 to 12, or $337.50 per ECS student. Registration for busing of non-eligible students will be confirmed upon receipt of the applicable fee. Reminder: Bus passes will not be sent to schools, but must be picked up at the BRSD office. Students will be expected to produce their bus passes upon entering the bus. • Bus Passes are sold as a year pass; no half-passes or winter passes will be sold. • We now accept cash, cheque, Visa, Mastercard and Debit. The first day of busing for City of Camrose Public Schools will be Tuesday, September 2, 2014. All Camrose students must pick up their bus passes between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. during the week of August 18 to 22, 2014 at the following address: 5402-48A Avenue, Camrose. Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the Transportation Assistant.

Siemens named Donalda principal Clearview’s superintendent of schools John Bailey has announced the appointment of Mark Siemens as principal of Donalda School for the 2014-15 school year. Siemens worked at Wm. E. Hay Composite High School as a science and mathematics teacher last school year. After graduating from The University of Lethbridge, Siemens began his teaching career in 2006 at Bowden Grandview School. The following year he joined the Wm. E. Hay Composite High School staff as a science, math and physical education teacher. During his teacher career, Mark has made a conscientious effort to create an engaging classroom for students by incorporating projects, group work, technology and outdoor excursions into his lessons. Since 2012, he has been the science team leader and has helped develop and run the Science Fair events at Wm. E. Hay. For seven years, he has been a representative on the Clearview School Division PD committee, assisting in the organization and setting up of divisional PD events. When Mark is not in the classroom, he can often be found helping with the extra-curricular programs. He has been an assistant football coach for seven years and has been active in planning outdoor education trips such as skiing, canoeing, hiking, orienteering and camping. “Mark was selected as the new principal of Donalda School based on his excellent teaching record and the strength of his interview,” said Bailey. “Mark’s references were also very strong. We look forward to him joining our administrative team in Clearview and taking over the leadership of Donalda School.” Siemens said he is thrilled to be joining the Donalda School, working alongside the staff, students and parents in the role of principal. “I am looking forward to the new challenge, and am eager to become a part of the school community and the Donalda community as a whole.”

One of the true gems of Camrose County, Kingman Regional School Museum takes one back in time with hundreds of impressive and well-maintained artifacts that provide a detailed picture of life on the prairies in the early 20th century. Hours of operation are 2:00 to 4:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and occasionally Friday during the summer. “We’re pretty proud of what we have here,” said museum activities coordinator and Kingman Historical Society member Carol Schmidt. “We receive many favourable comments from those who have visited.” One of the museum’s most interesting and cherished artifacts is a large tin impression of the MS Aquitania, a Cunard Line ocean liner which was launched on April 21, 1913 and sailed on her maiden voyage to New York in May, 1914. Aquitania was the third in Cunard line’s grand trio of express liners, preceded by the RMS Mauretania and RMS Luisitania, and was the last surviving fourfunneled ocean liner. In her 36 years of service, Aquitania survived military duty in both world wars and was returned to passenger service after each. Its record for the longest service career of any 20th
century express liner stood until 2004, when the Queen Elizabeth 2 became the longest-serving liner. “There are so many people who come in and tell us that their parents came over to Canada on that ship,” said Schmidt, adding it is a real conversation piece. “I don’t know how many offers we have had to buy it.” The museum also features old wooden school desks, dolls, and original post office boxes with numbered locks. “The kids really enjoy playing in the post office,” said Schmidt. The Kingman Regional School Museum was originally a schoolhouse that was moved to Kingman in the 1950s. “It was an industrial arts building and shop all through the 1950s and 1960s, but it was closed in the 1980s and used as a gymnasium and storage area,” said Schmidt. By the mid 1990s the building was almost ready for demolition. “The Kingman Historical Society was formed in order to save and develop it,” said Schmidt. “We did a lot of structural things, like adding a new roof, windows and plumbing and applying new paint.” While the society receives an annual grant for museum operations, it has lost out on the STEP funding that was used to hire a summer student and has been forced to rely more on volunteers.
“We would like to be able to offer better summer hours than we do but with the loss of the STEP grant we just can’t afford that,” said Schmidt. In recent years, the Kingman Regional School Museum has become a little bit like a community coffee shop. “We have one or two of the ladies of the society who always come in the mornings to put the coffee pot on,” said Schmidt. The museum has been a popular facility for wedding showers and family gatherings and has hosted many school tours. “We used to have a whole day where we invited Grades 3 and 4 students here for a whole day of activities with different themes,” said Schmidt. “The schools give us a call whenever they feel they want to fit us into their schedule.” The museum has also hosted several artists. “We had an local artist a couple of years ago who set up all his artwork,” said Schmidt. “Another time Lynn Roth came out to do a presentation on the old European way of hooking rugs.” The Kingman Historical Society is reaching the point now where it is questioning whether it can afford to keep the museum open all year. “We would like to do that but with the high cost of gas I don’t know how we can keep paying the bills,” said Schmidt.

Carol Schmidt’s favourite artifact is a framed impression of the MS Aquitania, a Cunard Line ocean liner which was launched on April 21, 1913, and sailed on her maiden voyage to New York City in May, 1914.
The Kingman Regional School Museum was originally a schoolhouse that was moved to Kingman in the 1950s. It was almost ready for demolition when the Kingman Historical Society stepped in to save and develop it.

You can visit the source of your food this summer. The Alberta Open Farm Days will kick off with a community breakfast on Sunday, Aug. 24 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE). You can join the rural community for breakfast that features locally sourced products from the Camrose and the surrounding area. The breakfast will consist of scrambled eggs, buttermilk hotcakes and sausage. Tickets will be needed for this event. They are available at the CRE. Tickets can be preordered by phone. There will be no cost for children under three. “I hope Albertans will get out and take the opportunity to learn more about our province’s wonderful food and meet its extraordinary producers. What better time of year to explore the country and see Alberta farms at their very best?” asked Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and local MLA. The province has asked rural residents across the province to swing their gates open for city dwellers, neighbours and friends. “From farm visits for the whole family, to one-of-a-kind culinary experiences for foodies, Open Farm Days is a great reason for a summer road trip. There’s no better way for Albertans to experience our agricultural heritage and immense rural landscapes. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the farm as a whole new tourism destination,” said Richard Starke, Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. “Ag for Life is a leader in supporting agricultural education programming and we’re pleased again this year to be the major funder for Open Farm Days. We hear far too often how little our children really know about where their food comes from. Open Farm Days is a terrific opportunity for them and their families to learn

Taking care of business
Examine hail damage From Agri-News
“We’re getting calls at the Ag-Info Centre from producers who have lost their crop to hail and want to know when they should be cutting what’s left for silage or green feed,” said Barry Yaremcio, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Stettler. “The answer to this question largely depends on how much the crop was fertilized before the storm.” Annual crops, such as canola and wheat, are heavily fertilized with nitrogen to optimize yield. At the current stage of development, a lot of
this nitrogen still remains in the soil. After a hail storm, plants cannot convert this nitrate into protein as efficiently as before. As such, the nitrate levels increase, peaking about four days after the storm. If the plants recover, their nitrate levels are back to normal after about two weeks. “For these fertilized crops, you want to cut them within a day or two of the storm before the nitrate levels rise,” said Yaremcio. For further information, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310FARM (3276).

Alberta supports continued rail service upgrades From Agri-News
Alberta Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Verlyn Olson issued the following statement in response to regulations announced by the federal government to implement the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act. “The federal regulations, which take effect today, are another important step in the ongoing efforts to strengthen Canada’s transportation network. “We are pleased that the regulations incorporate recommendations made by Alberta to add clarity to the legislation and to help ensure there is balanced accountability and greater responsiveness to customers in Canada’s rail freight industry. “We also welcome the enhanced authority for the Canadian Grain Commission to provide additional protection for producers as part of their delivery contracts with grain companies. “However, we know there is still more work that needs to be done. While grain movement has improved, it will still be months before the backlog on the prairies has been fully addressed, and another harvest is just around the corner. “It is imperative that we continue to aggressively move forward with longterm solutions that will further enhance our ability to deliver all goods to market in a safe, timely and efficient manner. A dependable transportation system is essential to Canada’s exportdriven economy, and the system must have the capacity to meet the long-term needs of a wide range of industries and commodity groups. “Alberta will continue to advocate on behalf of our export industries and Albertans to ensure the best interests of all are considered. “The federal review of the Canada Transportation Act is another crucial opportunity to identify additional improvements and put measures in place that better position our transportation network to keep pace with the demands of our growing economy. “We strongly encourage representatives from all commodity groups and segments of the supply chain to participate in the review process.”

County allocates 2014 MSI funding By Murray Green
Camrose County received the go-ahead to submit a 2014 MSI operating funding application to Alberta Municipal Affairs for $493,825. Funds were allocated: $17,920 to the second phase assessment of the Hay Lakes Grader Shed; $105,443 for the completion to the County complex HVAC (ventilation and air conditioning) upgrades; $31,500 for library funding for Camrose, Bawlf, Bashaw, Hay Lakes and Edberg; $64,900 for council chamber hardware upgrades; $35,100 for additional module CityWide Works and $238,960 for road maintenance. “MSI operating carry forward from 2013 was $270,084 of which $97,644 was allotted for the office upgrade and unexpended in 2013, and $168,376 was
added from New Norway and interest earned,” said county administrator Paul King. The 2014 MSI operating grant is $233,084 library funding, Camrose $18,963, Bashaw $3,654, Bawlf $3,654, Hay Lakes $3,654 and Edberg $1,575. Council chambers upgrades to include new microphones, (individual mini), five high HD (high definition) screens, HD projector, hardware for integration and control. The new monitors in the council chambers would allow all councillors to see screens without turning to view the side wall or pull down screen. CityWide Works is a web based, work order/work flow application designed to enable public works departments to prioritize, schedule and track projects.
His mortgage is $212,000 at 6% interest.
This meant he paid $12,720 in interest last year. An equity allocation of 26% meant his bonus for being a member was: $12,720 x 26% = $3,307.20. $3,307.20 was deposited into his Common Share Account.
And, now, for the best part of all… Each year Vision’s Board of Directors declares a General Cash Payout based on the corporation profitability. In recent years, our members have received a wonderful bonus – a cheque in the amount of 10% of whatever has accumulated in their common share account. John’s bonus – a cheque for $330.72! Now, realistically, which ‘big bank’ offers you banking this appealing? Add in awesome customer service, a commitment to small communities, a 100% guarantee on all deposits and local decision-makers and it’s obvious:
