Ron Fischer, owner of this beautiful 1933 Ford 3 Window Coupe street rod has a showpiece that is always a car show favourite. The build, which took place over six years, was a family affair, with brother Lloyd contributing hundreds of hours of time and his unique and varied talent.
Harvest Show & Shine Round Hill is going to be a bee-hive of activity on
Sunday, September 6. For the third year in a row, at the Round Hill agricultural grounds, dozens of classic cars, pick-ups, rat rods, muscle cars and bone wagons are expected be on display from 11 am to 3 pm for all to admire. A Pancake Breakfast will kick off the day at 9 am. The show registration will commence at 11 am. A thrashing demo will take place starting at 1 pm and a stooking contest will get underway at 2 pm. You might even want to see if the judges choose favourites as you would, if you were in their role – the awards for the pre-’90s vehicle judging will take place at 3 pm.
Inside... A variety of merchandise and services: Farm equipment and supplies, auctions, homes, home decor, entertainment, real estate, employment opportunities and more!

Camrose County presents beautification awards Wilf and Ingret Weber took first place, Steven and Dianna Trautman second and Norman and Deborah Taves third in the mature yard category of the 2015 Camrose County Beautification Contest in July. Judges had a hard time deciding on the winners, noting that each of the nominated mature yards were well maintained and had strong points. The County accepted nominations in the categories of mature yard, newly developed yard, and vegetable garden categories. Since most gardens did not fare well because of the lack of moisture, there were no nominations in the garden category. There were also no responses in the newly developed yard category. Camrose County expressed appreciation to everyone who let their places be nominated, to the nominators, and to the volunteer panel of judges. The next Camrose County Beautification Contest will be held in 2017.
The Webers have put a lot of work into their yard.

BATTLE RIVER SCHOOL DIVISION #31 SCHOOL OPENING INFORMATION 2015-16 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.
SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
On behalf of the teachers, administrators, and support staff, I would like to welcome each and every student to Battle River School Division for the 2015-2016 school year. This year staff will continue to strive to achieve our vision: Every Student, Every Day, A Success by providing a holistic educational experience focused on the academic, character and relationship development of each student. As a school division, we will emphasize the following priorities for the coming year: 1. Literacy 2. Numeracy 3. 21st century learning 4. Welcoming and Caring school environments We believe this is an exciting time for education in Alberta. Battle River School Division is entering its 20th year of providing educational service to students and we anticipate that the year will bring many rewards and successes for each student in BRSD. Rita Marler, Superintendent of Schools
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DAY
Schools will be closed on August 27, 2015 to permit all staff to participate in learning opportunities that will better prepare them to serve students. Division Office will remain open.
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
The first day of busing for all students will be Tuesday, September 1, 2015.
Students residing in Beaver County, Camrose County and Flagstaff County Students new to these areas 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 2015-2016 school year. Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the transportation department.
Students residing in the City of Camrose Ward 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. Reminder: bus passes must be picked up at division 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 $395.00 per student in grades 1-12, or $355.50 per ECS student. Registration for busing of non-eligible students will be confirmed upon receipt of the applicable fee. Reminder: 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. Battle River School Division #31 will be accepting registrations for busing in the City of Camrose from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. during the week of August 17-21, 2015 at the following address: 5402-48A Avenue, Camrose. Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the transportation department.
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.

Moving from farmers’ market to retail sales Agri-News
Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) has released a new factsheet on pricing when moving from farmers’ market to retail sales. “You have been selling your product at a farmers’ market and have earned a loyal following,” says Kathy Bosse new venture specialist, AF. “Your customers are enthusiastic, and you think your product
could do well in a larger market. Moving beyond the farmers’ market to a retail setting can be a natural next step in the evolution of your product.” The pricing: moving from farmers’ market to retail sales factsheet explores three issues to consider in evaluating a move from a farmers’ market to retail: Do you really want to grow bigger?
What are your retail options and how do these affect your costs and pricing? How do you calculate costs and ensure profitability for your product? The new factsheet is available from Alberta Agriculture’s website. Hard copies are available from AF’s publications office at 780427-0391 or e-mail at publications.office@gov.ab.ca .

Round Hill plans Harvest Show and Shine By Murray Green
Get the car polish out to prepare your classic vehicle for the third annual Round Hill Harvest Show & Shine on Sunday, Sept. 6. The Round Hill and District Agricultural Society is hosting its yearly event at the agricultural grounds near the ball diamonds and campground. "The show and shine is open to all pre-90s vehicles and is in conjunction with our threshing demo. We changed to pre-90s instead of pre-80s because it allows vehicles 25 years and older to enter. A vehicle can be
registered as a classic after 25 years, so it made sense to include 80s vehicles. We had a lot of requests to include them as well," said organizer Allen Tomaszewski. "Every year our event is growing. We had 59 vehicles in our first show and last year we had 69. It depends on the weather, but we are hoping for more this year. I remember our first year, I went into Round Hill and couldn't see Main Street because it was so foggy. I thought it was going to be a wreck, but it cleared off and it turned out to be a great day."
Awards are presented in classic, pick-up, rat rod, muscle car and bone wagon categories. "The show is open and we even take works in progress," said Allen. "The event brings a lot of people into Round Hill and it begins with a pancake breakfast." The pancake breakfast starts the day from 9 to 11 a.m. with registration held from 9 a.m. to noon. The car show is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the presentation of door prizes will begin at 1:30 p.m. "We will have a bind-
ing, threshing and stooking demonstration. We want to show younger people how things were done in the past and bring back memories for some of the long-time farmers," said Allen. "It was so labour intensive and took days compared to the 10 minutes it took the large combine last year to do the same space. This is our chance to show them what it was like." Allen, when he was 16, was one of the last age groups to harvest with binders and threshing machines. "Both threshing and the vehicles are a thing of the past. This is an opportunity
to reflect on our history in the area," he said. The threshing demonstration is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. A stooking contest begins at 2 p.m. for all ages. An awards presentation will be held at 3 p.m. and several awards will be presented. "We have several organizations helping out to put the show on," said Allen. "In a community like Round Hill, everyone pitches in and helps to make it a success." Refreshments and food will be available during the event. For more information on the event contact Allen at 780-672-6104.
Purple martin colony grows to 93 pairs By Laurel Nadon
It’s a throaty, rich call that has area resident Bob Buskas looking skyward every spring as he eagerly awaits the return of his purple martin birds from their wintering grounds in Brazil and Bolivia. Each year since 1996, he has paused outside his home southeast of Wetaskiwin where he farms, hoping to catch a glimpse of his favourite birds returning once again. “There’s lots of noise and a lot of excitement. I just love it. I sit outside in the morning and night. They’re good entertainment in the yard,” Buskas said. “You can’t compare it to anything. They’re people-oriented, they don’t mind you handling their nestings.” Back in 1992, his father had a purple martin house. Buskas has always liked nature, so he took the next natural step and took out a bird book and that’s how his hobby began. While he also enjoys watching for hummingbirds and tree swallows, he gravitated towards the purple martin. It took four years for his Northern Sky’s purple martin colony to attract its first pair, and another year for the pair to successfully reproduce. “The challenge is getting a colony going,” explained Buskas. “They usually head back to the colony where they were born. You’ve got to get a lone bird who wants to get one started on his own.” His lone bird, nicknamed Mr. T, began the colony, and then returned for seven years. Once the birds nest successfully, they will return faithfully each spring for as long as they live. By that point, there were between 30 and 35 pairs making the bungalows home. Then in 2002 and 2003, it was a cold and wet spring for the birds. “We lost a lot of nesters due to lack of bugs, but the colony held its own and it’s come back again. Each year it has increased,” Buskas said, noting that the colony
– Laurel Nadon photo Northern Sky’s purple martin colony is now home to 93 nesting pairs. The colony, at the home of Bob Buskas southeast of Wetaskiwin, has been running since the mid-1990s.
– Laurel Nadon photo Purple martins settle in for the evening in the North Star homes created by Bob Buskas at his Northern Sky’s purple martin colony southeast of Wetaskiwin.
is at an all-time high with 93 nesting pairs this year, and 107 compartments at the colony site. There are also 48 compartments at his Country Nine colony near Bashaw.
Buskas designs and builds the North Star homes and Buskas Bungalows for the birds, and there are colonies throughout the United States which have used his designs.
Buskas said his favourite part of the hobby is the spring when the birds return, as well as watching the adults bring their young back inside after they fledge, which is learning to
fly. Each day they go a little further, with the parents chasing them to keep their young aloft. The birds had a low population when he began building his colony due to lack of proper housing and colonies not being cared for. The population of purple martins had dropped all over North America. Proper care of a home includes nest checks for parasites. The colony is raised and lowered on a pulley system for these checks. Compartments used to be six by six inches, but research found that the birds needed twice that much space, and the new standard for compartments is six by 12. Managing a colony also requires controlling the starlings and sparrows, who compete for nesting sites with the purple martins. The English house sparrow and European starling were introduced in the United States many years ago, and both are commonly considered a pest in North America. The starlings are a bigger, tougher bird and will kill purple martins over a nest. “Now that we have good, managed homes out there, the population has really increased in the past 10 years,” Buskas said. The birds migrate beginning in late April through to June. Nest checks are done once a week until about mid-July. Then by the first week of August, a staggered migration begins again. “They like open areas. This parkland area, there are lots of bugs, sloughs and lakes,” Buskas said about his farm. “Heavily-treed areas aren’t their thing; there are too many predators like hawks.” Buskas is known in the area for being an expert on the purple martin, thanks in part to his website www. wtc.ab.ca/northernskys/. He often fields phone calls from people who are hoping to start their own purple martin colony, but says he has no plans to expand further himself.

Town and Country Guardian Pharmacy in Tofield robbed By Dan Jensen
Vermilion RCMP are hoping that video tape evidence will lead to the arrest of masked bandits who made off with a safe and an undisclosed amount of prescription drugs after breaking into Town and Country Guardian Pharmacy in the early hours of Aug. 17. The thieves were able to get into the business after driving into the front doors with a silver 4x4 truck they had stolen in Tofield. Once inside two worked on pulling a safe out from underneath a counter while another scooped drugs from a shelving unit into a duffel bag. A fourth remained inside the truck. One wore a white Cocaine and Caviar t-shirt matched with geometric lounging pants. Another wore a white Cocaine and
The thieves broke in by crashing the door with a stolen truck.
Caviar t-shirt matched to white pants. Another wore a shirt and geometric pants. The thieves were in the
business for less than three minutes before making their get-away north along Highway 834. "We have an alarm sys-
tem that notified us of the robbery," said Town and Country Guardian Pharmacy owner Gayleen Erickson. "My husband, Darren,
got there about a minute after they left." The stolen safe was found two miles north of Mundare at around 10 in the morning. "The guy who found it knew that the safe belonged to us because of the papers that were inside," said Gayleen. Work by the Edmonton Identification Unit was completed by the time the business opened at its usual time of 9 a.m. Damage caused to the front of the building is estimated at approximately $25,000. Anyone having knowledge about the crime is asked to contact the RCMP. The owners of the store are offering a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest or the conviction of the robbers.

Thirty-first annual bench show at Round Hill By Dan Jensen
Baking, garden vegetables, preserves, school art, photography, flowers, quilts home-made crafts, woodworking and even scarecrows were on display at the Round Hill Community Centre at the thirty-first annual Round Hill and District Agricultural Society bench show Aug. 11 and 12. "We had a total of 1,227 entries from 79 different exhibitors," said bench show committee member Deb Blouin. Photography was the biggest category with entries totalling 833. The number of garden entries was down due to the hot weather and the lack of rain. The Round Hill bench show started in 1985 with
198 different categories, a number that has since grown to around 600. "Our show has a reputation as being one of the biggest (of its kind) in the province," said committee member Jean Teeple. "We attract entries from all over the province." Blouin said the show always receives a large number of positive comments. "People want to be part of it because there are not too many of these left. They are out and doing other things in the summer." Rose Blades won the award that goes to the individual with the most accumulated points. The family award went to Don, Angi, Thomas, James and Timmothy Messick.
Don Messick won the William Banack Memorial award, while Angi Messick won the Cec Banack Memorial award. The junior artwork award was presented to Meadow Blouin. The junior cooking award was presented to Brooklyn Nahirniak. The junior handicraft award was presented to Meadow Blouin. The oldest exhibitor at the show was 88-yearold Josephine Ilnicki. The youngest exhibitor at the show was threeyea r - old Cheyen ne Martin. All exhibitors in a specif ic class or category were eligible for a draw prize for that category.
Rose Blades received a first place ribbon for her dill pickles and a first place ribbon for her sweet tomato chutney.
One-and-one-half-year-old Violet Regnier, from Sturgeon County with the colourful sunflower entry.
Diane Martin received a first place ribbon for her quilt.
Doreen Wancho's angel food cake was named the best overall baking entry at the bench show.
