Pavement for Armena By Murray Green
Camrose County council approved improving a portion of the existing section of gravel road between Highway 21 and Armena Main Street with some grading improvements to be completed at a later date. Public works manager Graham Backus explained there was $85,000 budgeted in 2014 to complete paving work between the Highway 21 paved apron and the paved section on Armena’s Main Street. However, the $85,000 will be needed for Main Street alone. Councillor Doug Lyseng of Armena said if only one of the projects can be done, he would recommend Main Street first. Then he declared a conflict of interest so other councillors could vote on the motion. “Our schedule did not permit this work to be completed in 2014 and as such the budgeted amount was carried over into 2015 in the form of a short term savings account,” he reported to council on June 9. A request for quotes was sent out to four paving companies pertaining to the work. Border Paving had submitted the winning quote for the work. About $85,000 of this project expense would be funded from the original operational budget, with the remaining $11,756 to be reallocated from the gravel crushing budget. “Schedule A which pertains specifically to the apron paving and road upgrade between Highway 21 and the existing Armena Main Street paving was quoted at $145,870 in Border Paving’s submission, while the Schedule B work, which included repairs to the existing Main Street paving was quoted to be $86,285,” said Backus. The motion to improve Armena’s Main Street this year was carried.
Battle River Community Foundation makes grant to Amisk School The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $300 to Amisk School for the purchase of a “chrome book,” a wireless device that will allow children within the classroom to conduct research and access enhanced student programming. The “chrome book” will also help special needs students with word processing. The grant was awarded from income earned by the David Creasy Memorial Fund. The fund was set up to allow descendants of David Creasy to recommend grants to the Battle River Community Foundation board. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and programs in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations in accordance with the wishes of the donors. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,900,000 to support community programs and projects throughout the region.
Battle River Community Foundation past chair Ken Drever presented a cheque to Amisk School principal Colette Johnson and students in the Grades 2 and 3 classes.

Dairy farmers unite Forty young dairy farmers from across the province recently joined together to prepare and set the stage for the future at the Next Generation Forum in Red Deer. Hosted by Alberta Milk, the event challenged attendees to think beyond the end of their driveway and see what leadership means in the dairy industry in Alberta. The event was targeted to those wanting to take over the family farm or start their own. “It was a great opportunity to be in an environment where people my age could ask questions and be a part of an open discussion about the dairy industry and the future we can create together,” said Brittany Derksen, attendee. Speakers from across the country joined to help inspire and educate the farmers. Presentations ranged from big picture themes like governance and national issues, to on-farm topics like animal care and welfare and succession planning

False alarm bylaw in the works for Camrose County
Elevated Imaging at Lower Prices with
UNMANNED HELICOPTERS
By Murray Green
If you are considering purchasing a security system for your property in Camrose County you might want to read the instructions several times. If you currently own a system, go back and read how to set the alarms properly, or it could prove costly. After hearing the number of times (200) the Camrose RCMP Detachment has been called out in false alarms last year, Councillor Ken Krause directed administration to create a false alarm bylaw to be brought back to a future meeting, on May 26. Protective Services manager Mike Kuzio reported that he has been in contact with Leduc County, the only county within our area that has a false alarm bylaw. “Leduc County has not experienced a significant decrease in the number of false alarm calls since its bylaw was implemented in 2010,” he reported. Councillors were surprised with the information. However, the limited records and other factors such as how many more security systems have been installed since then, made the numbers not as reliable. Council agreed that each resident will be allowed one false alarm warning before fines are issued. Some businesses have been guilty with as many as 15 false alarms in the past year when they simply didn’t report to the RCMP that it was a false alarm and that their services were not needed. A new bylaw will likely be structured with an increasing fine as the number of false alarms are reported. A proposal of $150 for the second offence, $250 for the third and $500 for each one after that was tossed around the council chambers. “After a few $500 fines, people might be more inclined to read the instructions on how to operate the security systems,” added Krause, who is trying to free the officers to do more important police work. Camrose RCMP Sgt. Beth Philipp said an education process has to be in place.
We utilize unmanned helicopters and advanced computer software to produce cutting edge imagery. This imagery can be utilized in a variety of ways. We create everything from dimensionally accurate 3D digital models of existing buildings and land plots for accurate and speedy square footage and volume calculations to stunning aerial photos that anyone would be proud to display on their wall at home. We are open to new ideas – if there’s a service you have in mind that’s not listed, please don’t hesitate to contact us! It’s our commitment to provide unique high quality aerial images at costs far less than conventional aerial photography. Even if you have aerial photos, we can provide many more unique bird’s eye angles that are impossible with conventional aircraft. • • • • • • • • • • • • •

“Security companies sell these products with the pretense that the alarms and police will look after them. They should be teaching people how to use them properly. The piece that is missing from all of this is that people need to know how these systems work,” she said. Revenue from the fines would go to the County. The County funds a half-time person at the RCMP detachment. Shotgun proposal
County peace officers would like to carry a shotgun, not to attend false alarms, but to assist with dangerous animals, or for humane animal purposes. Officer Kuzio reviewed the requirements of the Alberta Solicitor General Public Security Division for County Peace Officers to carry shotguns and brought the information to council. “When I first started here I didn’t see a need to

carry a shotgun. But, the county is always changing and it would be useful to have a shotgun at times to put down injured animals,” said Kuzio. He also indicated that the guns are locked up and the ammunition is stored in another location, so it is unlikely that they can be used by a person trying to overtake an officer. Councillor Krause moved that Camrose County council authorize the County Peace Officers to carry shotguns within the County and further, that administration be directed to draft a shotgun policy to be brought back to council at a future date. All officers would have to pass an in-depth firearms course in order to carry the shotguns. The course would have to be renewed every year.

Safe Food for Canadians Act From Agri-News
The CFIA is engaging more micro and small businesses across the country to take part in consultations on the Safe Food for Canadians Act until June 30. In 2013 and 2014, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) held extensive consultations with industry and other stakeholders on the new food framework. Some of those stakeholders have raised concerns over the ability of micro and small businesses to meet some of the requirements being considered in the Act. This consultation will help the CFIA better understand the food safety challenges and costs that micro and small businesses face, and to seek feedback on options that could reduce the burden associated with certain requirements. Additionally, the CFIA is also interested in hearing about the types of tools, guidance resources and support these businesses need to produce safe and compliant food. Small businesses are those that generate $100,000 or less in annual food gross sales. Microbusinesses have annual food gross sales of $30,000 or less. The CFIA is hosting webinar sessions to seek input from micro and small businesses on proposed approach to Safe Food for Canadians Act. The Food Safety Specialists at Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development are available to help you with your food safety needs.

CDSS had good year By Murray Green
Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) shared good news from its annual report, Making a Difference Across the Life Span, with Camrose County June 9. CDSS executive director Margaret Holliston and community rural programer Clarence Hastings made the presentation. “Calgary Support Services submitted its report to its City council and said for every dollar invested on preventive programs, about $13 is saved in more costly intervention down the road,” explained Holliston. “We don’t have the resources to research and back that up.” Holliston thanked the County for helping fund the local program. “Last year, was a hard year for CDSS. Indeed, the past few years have been challenging. It has been quite some time since the provincial FCSS grant increased to adequately reflect our growing population. All over Alberta, FCSS programs like CDSS have been doing more with less. Our mettle (and our patience) has been tested,” said Holliston in the report. CDSS stopped funding The Open Door in 2014. CDSS helped establish The Open Door in the early 2000s. “We have proudly watched the youth shelter and outreach program grow, somewhat as a parent watches (and helps) a child grow, eventually stepping away as the child achieves independence. Parents never abandon their adult children, however, and I hope the analogy doesn’t end there. CDSS will continue going to bat for The Open Door with grant letters and other support as opportunities arise. Still, we did stop funding The Open Door. That was necessary, but it was also hard,” she added. All CDSS funded programs struggled to find new grant sources and increase user fees without creating a service barrier for Camrose and area residents. “That, too, was hard, even though it did pay off with a little bit of new revenue,” Holliston added. “I am very proud of the way in which CDSS program directors have supported one another through these difficult times. They have shown themselves to be resourceful and strategic in piecing together budgets, and also caring and compassionate with one another.” CDSS is blessed with a board that cares. “Our staff, volunteers and community partners have proven themselves to be more valuable than ever over the past few years. In particular, I am grateful to our municipal partners for stepping up to the plate and providing us

with more money than they are required to according to the provincial FCSS act and regulation.” FCSS (Family and Community Support Services) is a municipal-provincial partnership whereby the province provides 80 per cent of funding and municipalities the other 20 per cent. That formula has gradually shifted in recent years, with more and more municipalities providing larger overcontributions in addition to their required matches. “When last we checked, the ratio was more like 75 per cent province and 25 per cent municipalities, thanks to Camrose County, the City of Camrose and partner Villages,” said Holliston. “We hope that we can go back to 20 per cent when we receive more funding.” Both the City and County gave more than their share. “We know how pressured your council has felt regarding municipal budgets and we appreciate how you have helped us out while we
have waited, patiently, for provincial funding to come through,” said Holliston. “With the promise of just a little bit more FCSS money heading our way, I believe we will achieve amazing things in the years ahead.” Hastings outlined the success of the Camrose and area Men’s Shed, a program dedicated to bringing men together for events. It was one of four pilot projects within Canada and has grown to 14 members. “We provide a welcoming place and we meet at the old timer’s hut at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum on Thursdays from noon to 3 p.m. One third of the members are from the county,” said Hastings. “The Men’s Shed deals with isolation and depression and is a grassroots program that allows the members to have input on the direction. University of Manitoba researchers will be here to gather information about establishing a Canadian Men’s Shed program.”

Newest horned dinosaur on display at Tyrrell A new species of horned dinosaur – one of the most impressive discoveries since Triceratops – has been unveiled at the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s newest exhibit, Fossils in Focus. Regaliceratops Peterhewsi was discovered by a member of the public in southeastern Alberta in 2005. Nicknamed “Hellboy” due to the combination of difficult excavation conditions and hardness of the rock surrounding the skull, the specimen took nearly 10 years from discovery to display. Upon discovery, it was instantly noticeable that this specimen was something that had never been seen before, especially considering its unlikely location and unique features. “This remarkable discovery expands our knowledge and understanding of horned dinosaurs,” said Minister of Culture and Tourism David Eggen. “Thanks to the work of the Royal Tyrrell Museum and our dedicated scientists, the world continues to learn more about Alberta’s rich palaeontological history.” The research on this specimen was completed by Royal Tyrrell Museum scientists Dr. Caleb Brown, Post-doctoral Fellow, and Dr. Donald Henderson, Curator of Dinosaurs. Their research has greatly increased the understanding of the evolution of horned dinosaurs. “While the palaeontological community is constantly finding new dinosaurs, they are often represented by only small fragments of a skeleton, which can make it hard to imagine what they looked like,” said Brown. “With Hellboy, there is a huge, nearly complete skull of a very distinct new animal, and visitors to the Museum will be the first to see it on display.” Fossils in Focus Hellboy has been unveiled as part of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology’s newest exhibit, Fossils in Focus, which provides visitors with the chance to learn about some of the most significant specimens in the Museum’s collections. Designed to be a space that evolves with our changing understanding of palaeontology, this rotating exhibit will highlight some of the most remarkable and scientifically significant fossils from Alberta. New specimens reflecting current research will be added as the science of palaeontology moves forward.
