County listens to solar panel presentation

By Murray Green ENMAX Energy Corporation’s operations distributed generation director Jason Atkinson informed Camrose County how to save money by using solar energy.

Atkinson shared information on the provincial government’s recently announced $5 million in funding for the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) to provide a solar program for Alberta’s municipalities through the Albert Municipal Solar Program (AMSP).

This program will provide rebates of up to $0.75 per watt, to a maximum of $300,000 per project to municipalities for installing

solar on municipal buildings.

Atkinson took an initial look at the energy uses and potential installation requirements of solar panels and presented his thoughts to Camrose County at a regular meeting on March 22.

His target for solar panels was the seed plant and administration building in Camrose.

“We have to look at structural considerations in the first step to see if they can be mounted,” he said. “Typically, installations increase roof weight by three to seven pounds per square foot. Systems can be mounted directly to the roof, or ballasted for flat roof installations. Snow and

wind load is considered during structural analysis.

“The County can lease or purchase the solar panels. Typical solar modules have 25 year energy production guarantees and the inverter technology has a 25 year warranty lifespan.

Hail does not damage modules and there are minimal maintenance requirements.”

Annual inspection and cleaning of modules, if required, would be included.

A remote monitoring system is typically used to monitor performance and troubleshoot potential issues.

“The seed plant’s annual production in the first year) would be about 183,500 kWh. The building con-

sumption is 309,568 KWhrs and the solar system will offset 59 per cent of the annual consumption. That solar production is the equivalent of 22 homes to give you an idea,” said Atkinson.

Annual carbon offset is 129 tonnes, which is equivalent to taking 26 vehicles off the road.

Solar energy is like locking your energy price in for 25 years and beyond.

The purchase price for the panels is $307,400 plus GST. The average lease cost per KWH is 6.4 cents per KWH. The starting price is $2.44 per watt. With MCCAC funding the price it would be reduced to $1.99 per watt.

The administration

building’s annual production in the first year would be 168,343 kWh. The annual building consumption is 342,984 KWhrs. A solar system would offset 49 per cent of the annual consumption.

That is equal to heating 22 homes.

The annual carbon off set is 119 tonnes, which is equivalent to taking 24 vehicles off the road.

Starting price is $2.25 per watt. With MCCAC funding the price it would be $1.80 per watt.

Council received the presentation as information and will look into the matter at a later date.

cerns that may arise. They assist parks and recreation staff in maintaining peace and public order in County parks and campgrounds.

This includes enforcing the parks bylaw and other legislation as required and assisting park staff when requested. The peace officers proactively address general concerns before they become problematic.

Viking skull draws attention to unmarked grave study

By Laurel Nadon

It was a discovery that has changed a family from

Viking and garnered interest in an unmarked grave study being conducted in Camrose County.

Brian Rozmahel was riding his quad, checking his field late last August when he made a shocking find: a human skull.

“I’ve got to admit, it was kind of surreal. Originally, I didn’t know what to think,” Rozmahel said.

RCMP quickly sealed off the area with yellow police tape. “That’s when it really struck me, that it could have been something not so innocent. I kind of recognized that it was probably really old and my suspicions were confirmed.”

The remains were then taken to the medical examiner’s office in Edmonton after being documented and photographed. The skull was discovered to be from the early nineteenth century, before European settlement in the area. Since the remains were more than 50 years old, it became a non-criminal investigation and the remains were turned over to the Historical Society of Alberta.

After CBC News aired the story, Aubrie Duncan, a history masters student at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, received between 20 and 30 phone calls with new information on unmarked graves. Duncan has been working on an unmarked grave study in Camrose County; it was originally a class assignment, but it has continued and is now being done on her own time.

“History is never ending,” Duncan said. “I personally as a historian feel that this isn’t done yet.

I would love if they (the graves) were recognized.”

Near Viking last fall, archeologists with the Alberta government excavated the site, and unearthed a human skeleton, thousands of beads, brass buttons, jewelry, and a thimble. Investigators concluded that the person was likely a 13- or 14-yearold female.

Submitted Photo Brian Rozmahel from Viking shows where he found a human skull in his field last August. The remains, determined to be a young female from the early 19th century, were reburied in October. A recent CBC news story on the discovery has sparked interest in an unmarked grave study being conducted in Camrose County.

Submitted Photo A reburial ceremony was held at Brian Rozmahel’s farm in Viking and was attended by RCMP, First Nations leaders, the Rozmahel family and the excavation team. The site is now marked with a large rock honouring the young female whose remains were discovered there by Brian.

Rozmahel said the discovery has made him look differently at his role as landowner, farmer and steward of his land.

“It made me realize the longevity of the land and how many different people and tribes lived here and relied on the land. I have a new respect for that,” Rozmahel said, adding that he feels a dedication now to leaving the land as good or better for future generations. “It certainly awakened in me a desire to know more about how our First Nations lived on the prairies.”

A group of 30 people, including RCMP, First Nations leaders, Rozmahel’s family and the excavation team gathered for a somber reburial ceremony last October, which Rozmahel said was an once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“What surprised me is the level of interest in this across the country,” Rozmahel said. “What really thrills me was a comment from a First Nations elder thanking me for our response. I’m humbled by that.”

The unmarked graves in Camrose County, dating from the 1880s to the early 1900s, are being charted on GPS as they are located. The number of graves that Duncan was researching has jumped from seven to 20 since Rozmahel’s story

likely remain the way they are and shouldn’t be dug up out of respect,” Duncan said. “They are the ones that we know the names of, or have stones with names on them. Another man has a field with a mother and child buried in a small fenced off area of bush.

We had to climb a fence and walk through thick bush to get to them.”

Duncan said that at this point, she isn’t looking for more unmarked graves. She plans to present a report on the first seven graves to

aired. She shared that some of the callers are excited to pass on their information, and most are willing to take her to the unmarked grave they know about.

The graves are usually identified by a dip in the ground or sometimes wooden barriers. She has also received help from a local resident who owns a device for detecting solid matter under the ground.

“Out of the seven to eight graves I researched, I would say that all but two graves will most

Camrose County council at the end of January, and hopes to have an archaeologist become involved in the graves.

Rozmahel said he’s curious to hear about the county’s response.

“People deserve a certain amount of respect and honour, no matter how they died,” Rozmahel said.

As for the grave near Viking, the site is now marked with a large rock. Rozmahel visits the grave often to think and says he finds a sacredness to the site.

Camrose makes Top 50 list for small towns

By Dan Jensen The Canadian Travel Agency Flight Network has included Camrose on its inaugural list of the Top 50 Small Towns in Canada.

The list was developed to encourage Canadians to experience the road less travelled.

“With the low Canadian dollar, Canadians are considering more domestic

travel options instead of international or US destinations,” said Flight Network chief marketing officer Neil Bhapkar. “This list will inspire travel to the small Canadian towns, where Canadians can get more bang for their buck.”

Calgary Herald and Huffington Post travel writer Jody Robbins said the road less travelled is

infinitely more interesting and has fewer crowds.

“There’s always quirky characters easily fou nd w it h i n t he lo c a l c offee shop, or the town pub in Ca nada’s sma ll towns.”

F l ight Net work praised Camrose for its hospitality, gorgeous parks system and having some of the best

recreational facilities in Canada.

“Anyone who likes to spend much of their vacation outside will fall in love with Camrose,” someone says in describing why people should visit. “The city offers an array of outdoor skating rinks, golf courses and parks that will make you feel you’re light years away from

downtown.

Although, visitors are always just minutes from Camrose’s 27 unique downtown boutiques.

“Every visitor should spend plenty of time dining, shopping and admiring Camrose’s charming downtown district.”

Flight Network is one of Canada’s largest online travel websites.

Hitman an ambassador for Camrose

By Lori Larsen Some people are natural givers of their time, committed and passionate about making the world a better place. Audrey Hitman is most certainly one of those people.

Norm Mayer presented Audrey with a certificate of recognition for her dedication and service to making Camrose a better place at a regular meeting of City council.

“I’ve lived in Camrose all my life and that is over 75 years,” remarked Audrey.

“So you can imagine how I’ve seen this city change from the town it once was into the beautiful city it now is.”

Audrey’s work as a volunteer started over 50 years ago after she received a telephone call asking her to take in a young girl with disabilities.

“I said sure and so she (the young girl) came and lived with me for 10 years,” she said.

“That is what started getting me connected.”

During this time Audrey received a call from social services indicating there was an emergency situation with children needing immediate placement in a good home.

“They (social services) came and did the interviews and then introduced me to this fantastic four-year-old boy with disabilities, whom I immediately took in,” said Audrey with a warm smile.

“Robin is now 50 years old. I adopted him when he was 12.”

That was the beginning of Audrey’s 27 year career of fostering children in her home.

While fostering children Audrey received another call to duty, this time from the principal of Camrose Composite High School, requesting her help in facilitating homes for international students coming to attend high school in Camrose.

“I took in two children from Hong Kong, a boy and a girl who didn’t know each other and then I helped place the other students,” said Audrey.

With that, Audrey began a 40 year long vigil as an international host mom.

Her house has been a comforting home to over 135 international children and 60 to 70 foster children.

Not only did Audrey provide a welcome home for the students, she tutored them in

English and Social studies as well.

“I’m not a teacher but I’d been working with international students for so long I knew enough to be able help them with their assignments,” she said.

For 17 years Audrey was an international home stay coordinator for Battle River School Division and Global Partners out of Sherwood Park. Besides housing students herself, she was charged with the duty of placing students in equally loving and safe homes.

She estimates she has placed 200 or more students.

Having lived in Camrose all her life Audrey was a sure fit for coordinating and making sound judgement calls on the placement of students, ensuring the homes were selected appropriately and maintaining contact throughout the students’ stay, making sure everything was going well.

Audrey was asked to sit on the board of the Camrose Women’s Shelter when it first began.

“I helped them create their constitution just to get things running and I was on their board for two or three years,” she said.

As if this were not a full enough plate, Audrey was soon approached by Camrose Police requesting her service, along with a few other goodwill residents, to organize a group of volunteers to start a crisis line in Camrose.

“They were getting calls after six at night when there was no switchboard staff,” commented Audrey.

“They (the police) asked if we could find some way of starting up a crisis line. We (the volunteers) took some courses on how to answer the phone and such, then they put a call forwarding device into our homes so we could take the calls from six at night until six the next morning.

“We would pretty much have to stay up all night but we only had to take maybe three shifts a month.”

Eventually, due to the sensitive nature and number of calls being handled by the volunteers, the provincial government implemented a 1-800 crisis line out of Edmonton, eliminating the need for the calls to be fielded by local volunteers.

With a little spare time on her hands, Audrey took no time at all finding yet another worthwhile cause, the Camrose Food Bank, known now

as Camrose Neighbor Aid Center.

“I started over 30 years ago when the food bank first started up in an old quonset hut at the fair grounds,” she said.

Audrey has worked with Neighbor Aid and the food bank through not only a change in mandate and name but also several locations.

“The whole food bank changed when the ministerial order in Camrose got together to develop an organization that would help people and they called it Neighbor Aid,” explained Audrey.

All the while Audrey raised her own three children, Sharon (Thomson), an orthopedic tech nurse who lives in Camrose, Kathy (Gerritsen), a school teacher who lives east of Strathmore, David Hitman, a service manager who lives in Hay Lakes, and, of course, Robin Hitman, a renowned resident of Camrose.

In addition to being a devoted mother of four and her boundless volunteer work Audrey held down full time positions in the community beginning with a 15 year career as an office manger, first for F.W. Woolworth then Eaton’s furniture store.

She worked for 35 years

as an accountant at the Knaut Johnson Francoeur law office.

Audrey retired last year from being an international host mom, however the word retired does not appear to be a word that belongs in her vocabulary For the past two years she has been taking in international students who come to Camrose as research assistants for professors at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

“I have homed seven students in the last two years from all over the world,” mentioned Audrey.

“They only stay for three months. My last batch was from India, Vietnam, China, and South Korea.

Audrey stays in regular contact through Facebook, email and telephone, with over 125 of the children (students) she hosted. She has met some of their spouses and is happy to announce she is now an international host grandmother.

“One of my Japanese hockey players brought his wife to Camrose to visit me and for their honeymoon,” laughed Audrey.

When asked what volunteering so much of her time and dedication meant to her, Audrey replied, “ I realize how much is needed so I try to do what I can to help. I have enjoyed watching my own children grow up with international children and gaining that perspective in their life.”

Also knowing the international students and the children she supported were given a safe and loving home environment and that they will use that in their own lives to build a better life for themselves.

“They (students and children) are saying that a lot of their well-being came from coming to Canada, coming here and going to school,” said Audrey. “Then they bring that good feeling back to their own countries and hopefully that benefits everybody.”

Audrey’s achievements become very apparent as a woman stopped by during the interview to shake her hand and congratulate her, not only on receiving the certificate of recognition but on her continuous dedication to making Camrose and the world a better place to live.

What are employers looking for in a resume?

By Dan Jensen

With the unemployment hovering around seven per cent and the difficulty of finding work increasing every day, it is critically important to have a solid resume to present to potential employers. Taking the time to obtain a solid set of references and develop a relevant and easy to follow list of the places you have worked can make the difference between landing a job and continued pounding of the streets. Here are a few of the things Camrose employers said they are looking for when they start the hiring process.

Barry Ness, manager UFA Farm and Ranch Supply I used to always look at how many places they had been employed. I have since learned that you can’t really do that anymore because the youth of today move on if they don’t like what they are doing.

I came from the day where, when you get a job you stick with it. So that is something I have changed my scope on.

I look for a resume that pays attention to detail. A lot of people will tell you where they worked but they won’t say what their job duties were.

Having something like that in there helps when you are going through them and making separate piles.

I look for quality of references, not just friends or people they know like their aunt or next door neighbour. I like if they put a reference from a previous employer because that tells me they didn’t leave their previous job on bad terms.

Experience in the field is another thing I like to see.

I know that is a tough one because a lot of people who are trying to get into the labour force don’t have experience. I guess it depends on the position I am posting, but having an agriculture background helps. I am always willing to teach people but if an applicant doesn’t come from a farm background it makes things a little more difficult.

I have typically stayed away from people who have had a lot of oil background because I can’t pay what the oil industry pays and, based on previous experience, those people maybe last a month until something else comes along. When a company is investing time, money, training and everything else, you would like to get something back.

If they bring up past job experiences when I am doing the interview that shows me they are engaged in the conversation and are truly interested in the job. I have

interviewed some people who didn’t really have any interest in coming to work here; they were just doing it to keep on the pogey.

I base a lot of my interviews on life experiences. The time, for instance, they were dealing with an upset customer. I don’t always go on their body language because going through an interview can be intimidating for some people.

I look for people who are friendly, outgoing and courteous because our business is all about customer service and helping them find solutions in a friendly manner.

Larry Flemming, maintenance and construction supervisor, Battle River Power Coop I want to see relative experience. If I get a resume for a power lineman and he has been a cook or a dishwasher that is not one of the ones that goes to the top of the list. If he is a farm boy who is used to hard physical work his resume goes to the head of the list.

Education is a big asset because we want our people to be able to pass the journeyman (power lineman) exam. We expect everyone here to go from a first year apprentice up to a journeyman lineman and hope that everyone stays in the system.

If they have a good education they have a really good chance of being successful in the apprenticeship program.

The program is four years in length, with three of those years spent going to NAIT. I look for experience operating equipment and the appropriate driver’s licence. I need the fellows to be able to drive class three trucks. We give them time to get there but they have to have the aptitude and experience.

The attitude they display during the interview makes all the difference. Colleen, our general manager, says if you have the right attitude we can teach you anything. If you have the right attitude we can help you learn. If you don’t there is really no point going any further.

Battle River Power Coop has a different culture than a lot of other businesses. We are still small enough that people are people and not a number, so if you don’t fit in this isn’t the right place to be. I have worked at a bigger company where, if you didn’t fit in on one crew you could be moved to another. There were fifty crews and there was a good chance you would fit somewhere. Here I have two crews and there are another 20 or so people who work in the field, so if you don’t fit there aren’t very many places that we can move you to. If you don’t fit in one spot there isn’t a lot of opportunity to try other spots.

Sean Willms, Norsemen Inn To just go into businesses and hand out resumes isn’t nearly as effective as walking

in, looking good, dressed the part and asking to talk to the manager in charge of hiring.

We want that resume put into our hands so we can get that first initial look and maybe have a short conversation with the applicant. That is huge in our books.

The people who are in charge of hiring may take thirty seconds to a minute to look at the resumes, so the resume has to have several things. First, it should be spaced properly, not congested, clear, concise to the point, and applicable to the job that is being applied for.

If it is a student who is going after an entry level job it is maybe tougher to customize the resume to the job but it is an advantage, but if we see the resume lists experience with restaurant work or work

Tips for success Do a self-assessment on a sheet of paper, jotting down the jobs you’ve held, the particulars of each position and the strengths on which you want to focus.

Having this information handy will let you create your resume in an organized fashion.

Contact information should include your full name, avoiding any nicknames. List your permanent address and telephone number. Record a neutral greeting on your answering machine in preparation of fielding messages from recruiters. Don’t put your mobile phone number on the resume so that recruiters don’t catch you “on the go” or at an opportunity that is not ideal for selling yourself.

Also include an e-mail, provided it sounds professional (CrazyLady1212@blankmail.com may turn off recruiters).

Including an objective can be a good way to highlight to an employer the type of job you’re seeking.

List your education first if you are right out of school.

Those with a good deal of work experience can list education at the end of the resume.

List other information you feel is pertinent, such as educational honors, military achievements, awards won, exams or extracurricular coursework completed or any certification you may have. Keep it brief, as you can certainly expound on your skills during an interview.

Solicit people you trust to serve as personal and professional references. Do not include this information with the resume unless it is specifically asked for in a job advertisement.

with a hotel’s front desk we are going to look at it harder.

Resumes should avoid the irrelevant details like age or religion. The relevant details obviously are the job history, and it is important to have that listed in reverse chronological order.

If we see during our quick glance that someone has had a lot of jobs in a short period of time that person’s resume is going to be pushed to the bottom of the pile. We are not interested in people coming to work for a month, two months or eight months. We are looking for long term employees.

It doesn’t matter what job you are looking for, every employer is looking for a person in whom they can invest and retain long term.

Punctuation, grammar and spelling are something we look for in a resume, so pay attention to the little details.

Review it three times before you print it and circulate it.

Have someone else look it over because if we see a resume with spelling errors or poor punctuation, again it is going to go to the bottom of the pile. If we are hiring a front desk clerk who has to type and send letters, those skills are important. For all other areas where you don’t have

to read or write anywhere, it (good grammar and spelling) still shows us attention to detail. We demand that with every person we hire at this hotel.

It is unnecessary to have a page of listed references with phone numbers.

References upon request is all I think is necessary for a resume. I think it (references) elongates a resume unnecessarily. A resume should be a single page, two pages at the most. Single page is very good because it is easy: everything is there available for a quick scan.

I think black ink on white paper is all you need if you write the resume properly. I am not saying that colour is going to hurt you. It shows creativity and somebody who is really putting some time and effort into it, and thinking things through.

Sending pictures with the resume can be beneficial, especially if you are from out of town. It lets us see what the person looks like and, fortunately or unfortunately, appearance matters. But again I can’t reiterate enough the importance of dressing for the part and asking for the manager in charge of hiring.

Nordklang: Sounds from the North

On Wednesday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Augustana Campus Chapel in Camrose, the University of Alberta Augustana Choir presents its term-end concert entitled Nordklan: Sounds from the North. The concert features a number of works by Canadian composers, including Matthew Emery’s 2014 prize winning composition “The Lover’s Chant,” David L. McIntyre’s “Four Herrick Songs” (texts by Robert Herrick), and two works by Ontario composer and Jeff Enns.

“Northern Lights,” a haunting composition by Latvian composer Eriks Ešenvalds, will see the choir sing and play handchimes and wine-glasses.

“A Spotless Rose” by Welsh composer Paul Mealor is also featured.

Joining The Augustana Choir at this concert is the University of Alberta Augstana Campus men’s choir, Mannskor. These men will bring some nautical mirth to this land-locked concert.

The Augustana Choir is the auditioned chamber choir on the campus. A strong choral tradition on the Augustana Campus dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century.

Currently under the direction of Dr. John Wiebe, The Augustana Choir is considered to be one of Western Canada’s most successful undergraduate university choirs. The Augustana Choir studies and performs a wide variety of quality choral literature drawn from all musical periods and styles, including recent compositions and commissions. An active touring tradition has led The Augustana Choir to perform satisfying concerts for local, national, and international audiences. In May, 2014, The Augustana Choir was honoured to accept an invitation to perform at Podium 2014, the national choral conference of Choral Canada.

Mannskor is the male choir at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus in Camrose.

Comprised of community and student singers, it too provides an opportunity for singers of any level to experience the camaraderie and joy of choral singing.

Invite to Project Rescue Festival on Fundraising

By Philip Rushton Resurrection Lutheran Brethren Church is hosting all kinds of fun with Project Rescue fundraising festival on the second weekend of April.

The brainchild of the idea originated from the Sunday school children, who wanted to raise money through a Lenten bake sale and garage sale and donate to Project Rescue – a three-year project supporting a rehabilitation program for victims and others involved in global human trafficking.

“It got to us (Project Rescue leadership) through the education team and we’ve joined forces. What’s been described here is what God is doing with it,” said Logun Moe, one of the Project Rescue organizers.

This fundraising campaign is part of Project Rescue, Resurrection’s three-year ministry to address human trafficking, through awareness within the church and surrounding community.

Freewill personal donations through the coin banks is the primary means of fundraising with good results.

Last year, Resurrection Lutheran Brethren Church raised funds for more than nearly 200 women and children through International Justice Mission.

Phase 2, “Restore the Broken,” is raising donations towards Dignity House in Winnipeg. Dignity house is an in-house rehabilitation ministry holistic healing for women, from across Canada, who have left prostitution.

Dignity House’s director Shona Stewart came to CLBI and the church last month to speak about the struggles of trying to leave prostitution.

“This is an opportunity to be with the community as we have fun and enjoy one an another, gathering for a worthy cause,” said Logun.

The weekend event is a Festival fundraiser with a garage sale with baked goodies, a jelly bean raffle, food and drinks, and much more.

“The best part of the fundraiser for me is getting to engage with the community and raise awareness and support for something that is dear to my heart – helping those caught in prostitution/

Police Service to be assessed for accreditation

By Lori Larsen Accreditation is an assessment process conducted by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) on public safety agencies, specifically law enforcement agencies, with a mandate to improve services provided by the agency being assessed.

Camrose Police Service (CPS) will once again be assessed by a team of CALEA assessors until April 7 in its ongoing mission to maintain the highest level of service and standards.

As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments during a public information session on April 5 at

5 p.m. at the Camrose Fire Hall (#201 Mount Pleasant Drive).

If an individual is unable to speak at the public information session, comments to the assessment team may be made by calling 780-672-8300 on April 5 between 1 and 3 p.m.

The team will assess policy and procedures, management, operations and support services.

“Verification by the team that the Camrose Police Service meets the Commission’s state-of-the-art policing standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation, a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence,” said Chief Darrell Kambeitz.

Camrose Police Service has been an accredited police agency since 1993 and has

been recognized with Flagship Agency Status, Meritorious Status and Exemplary Status.

By maintaining high standards CPS is able to strengthen crime prevention programs, formalize essential management procedures, establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices, improve servicedelivery, solidify interagency cooperation and coordination and enhance citizen and staff confidence.

“The Camrose Police Service has to comply with over 480 standards in order to gain accredited status,” said Chief Kambeitz.

A copy of the standards is available at the Camrose Police Service.

According to Bob Grant, the local CALEA accreditation manager, the assess-

ment team is comprised of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies outside of Alberta. The assessors will be reviewing written materials such as CPS reports and documents, interviewing individuals and visiting offices and other places to observe compliance.

The assessment team consists of team leader Judi King, retired chief of the California State University Fullerton Police Department in Fullerton, California, and Cindy Aaron, retired deputy chief of the Burleson Police Department in Burleson, Texas.

“Once the commission’s assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full commission, which will then decide if the agency

is to be granted accredited status,” stated Grant.

Grant can be contacted at 780-672-8300.

Accreditation had been conducted every three years but in this new cycle will change to every four years.

During the accreditation period, annual reports are submitted by Camrose Police Service attesting continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.

Written comments may be sent to Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), 13575 Heathcote Boulevard, Suite 320, Gainesville, Virginia, 20155.

Economic enterprise in province is being threatened

By MLA Wes Taylor, Battle River-Wainwright

The story of Alberta is the story of economic enterprise.

Throughout history, our economic development has always depended upon the risk-taking, creativity, and enterprise of individuals – whether trappers, buffalo hunters, ranchers, farmers, shopkeepers, or those who work with modern commercial corporations. It has also depended upon the development, trading, buying, and selling of resources – both renewable and nonrenewable.

In terms of permanent settlement (towns and cities) there wasn’t much to speak of in our province a couple hundred years ago. In the 1770s, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) built Cumberland House, its first western Cana-

dian trading post. Also among the first were The North West Company’s Fort Augustus and the HBC’s Edmonton House.

The purpose of these early trading posts was commercial enterprise – specifically, the harvest of natural resources.

Back then, wealth was often measured in terms of pelts, furs, and hides – just as we now associate wealth with oil, gas, wheat and beef.

An often-overlooked fact is that many of our earliest entrepreneurs were First Nations. Some tribes traded with the HBC as early as the seventeenth century, gaining access to trade goods, blankets, guns, and metal products, which they acquired in exchange for pelts, furs, and hides. As a result, these tribes were able to play an enhanced

role in the emerging economy. Their newfound wealth enabled them to act as intermediaries, trading goods with individuals and tribes from greater distances.

The Metis community at Tail Creek (near presentday Red Deer) was the most vibrant in the region, consisting of about 400 crude adobes and cabins. Around the buffalo hunts, its population would swell to over 1,000.

With the demise of the buffalo, Ottawa entered into treaties and agreements with various tribes, and the North West Mounted Police arrived in the 1870s. The big ranches followed in the 1880s – the Cochrane Ranch, Oxley, Bar U, and others – bringing cowboy culture and massive cattle herds from the south.

Also in the 1880s, the federal government passed legislation ushering in tens of thousands of homesteaders and their families. Not all of these homesteaders were farmers. Many came to run small businesses in the emerging communities. They were druggists, harness makers, blacksmiths, restaurant owners, lawyers, doctors, and other business-minded pioneers.

As our province moved into the 20th century, oil and gas were discovered. Here, too, individuals harnessed natural resources, delivering them to people in a way that was usable and valuable. In the ensuing years, Alberta blossomed. Based on the willingness of men and women to invest their money, take risks,

and apply their creativity to the harvesting of resources (be it oil, grain, beef, or otherwise) we became the economic engine of the entire nation.

Of late, we’ve seen a shift in Alberta. Many in government today assume that economic development flows from government itself – that growth occurs when governments tax people (carbon tax, income tax, etc.) and spend the money on political initiatives. They don’t seem to recognize the province’s historical relationship between resource development and wealth. They also overlook centuries of evidence that Alberta’s prosperity has always been based on the investment, creativity, and the enterprise of individual Albertans.

Wheat growth Agri-News

Wheat is grown almost everywhere in the world which begs the question, how do Alberta wheat growers differentiate their product from their competitors? Caalen Covey, business development and markets manager at the Alberta Wheat Commission says Alberta growers must differentiate their products to compete globally.

“If we look at world markets today almost everywhere around the world can grow wheat so when you look at it on an export basis, Canadian growers need to focus on variety development and increase its quality,” said Covey.

Conservative Party interim leader Rona Ambrose won’t be singing the praises of the new federal budget.

“This budget is a nightmare scenario for taxpayers who will be forced to pick up the tab for today’s Liberal spending spree,” said Ambrose March 22. “The budget puts taxpayers on the hook for out of control Liberal spending that will lead to more waste and mismanagement.”

Ambrose said the Liberals’ election pledge to borrow a “modest” $10 billion per year has been cast aside and replaced with a plan to spend $30 billion this year alone.

“Canadians gave them an inch and they are taking a mile. After breaking such a simple promise we can’t trust them to control spending, manage our economy or create the jobs we need.”

Ambrose is shocked that the Liberals want to borrow $113 billion over the next five years.

“When it comes to spending your money the Liberals just can’t help themselves,” she said.

“Most disappointing is the absence of anything resembling a jobs plan to help Canadians find work. This is especially troubling for those families who make their livelihood in the oil and gas industry and will see this budget as a further condemnation of their desire to get back to work.”

Ambrose is disappointed that the Liberals are already raising taxes on families, youth and families and will be raising taxes even further as the debt payments come due.

“It is an unfortunate situation given the Liberal Party took over the country’s finances with a balanced budget, the lowest taxes in 50 years, and a stellar job creation record, all due to strong Conservative economic management,” she said. “Going forward, Canada’s Official Opposition will demand a real plan to create jobs, fight to keep more money in the pockets of hard working Canadians, and press the government to live within its means by getting the budget back in balance as soon as possible.”

Nature centre reaches year five

MOBILE SEED TREATING AND PRIMING Right in your yard!

By Laurel Nadon

After five years of use, the Camrose County Nature Conservation Centre has seen a wide array of events including weddings and baptisms. The recreation area has also been used for family reunions, birthday parties, fishing trips, Saskatoon pie baking contests, scuba diving training, picnics and geocaching.

The County doesn’t have an exact number of annual users as it doesn’t take bookings, but does have an idea of use based on what County staff see when they are caring for the area.

“I would say it’s wellused,” said Teresa Gratrix, corporate services manager for Camrose County. “It’s been very well-received.

It’s something the County is very proud of, that we can take something like a gravel pit and make it into something that people can use.”

Reeve Don Gregorwich said the area sees a variety of users of all ages, even in the winter time.

“We’ve been amazed by how much use it gets now,” Gregorwich said. “There are a multitude of users from individuals fishing and swimming to families having barbecues and groups down there for weddings.”

The 37 acres of land, located 14.5 km east of Camrose and then 8.5 km south, was used as a gravel pit for 50 years before being restored. It was purchased in 1989 from the Blatz family, and in 1991 a motion was made by Vic McCarroll for Blatz Pit to be made into a fish pond and picnic/ camping area at the time of reclamation. The last crushing contract was in 2007.

The minimum requirement was that the pit be reclaimed according to the Approval and Alberta Environment Gravel Pit Reclamation Guidelines. In 2009, there were multiple council motions to have an engineering study done to determine the options for development, for approval of the construction quote and for naming the nature centre.

“Camrose County decided that, instead of just returning it to its original state, we would take it a

step further and make it a wildlife habitat and place for recreation,” Gratrix said. “It is in a rural area, it’s a developed park in the middle of the County. A lot of times those kind of facilities are based in populated areas.”

The centre now includes a playground built in 2013, a gazebo, nature trails, boat launch, dock, beach and swimming area, pedestrian bridge, benches, wash-

room, firepits and picnic tables. The water is also stocked with rainbow trout each year. Gratrix noted that people have sent in pictures of fish caught at the centre, some of which look like they were from the first year.

She said they often field phone calls from people asking if it’s possible for specific events to be held at the centre, and they tell the public to go ahead, keeping in mind that the

space is first-come, firstserve.

Gregorwich said it has been satisfying to see this idea come to fruition. He noted that he came onto council after the idea had been created, but was able to further the idea.

“There are an awful lot of exhausted gravel pits in this province that are holes in the ground, covered with weeds and they’re eyesores. For Camrose County to take this pit and turn it

into this centre, is an excellent example for others to follow,” Gregorwich said, adding that he sees two main benefits of the recreation area. “It provides a first class place to go to for outside activities that’s relatively close to everyone who lives in the County.

Secondly, this is an example of a resource area that has been exhausted that has been re-invigorated for the benefit of people in the County.”

FISH AND GAME ASSOCIATION RECOGNIZED

Submitted Photo Camrose Fish and Game Association received the Neville Lindsay Award for best fisheries project in Alberta for the work done on the Pleasure Island Fish Pond at the 87th Annual AFGA (Alberta Fish and Game Association) Conference held Feb. 18 to 20. Pictured, left to right, are Brian Dingreville (second vice president of the AFGA), Glen Hand (president of Camrose Fish and Game Association), Wayne Lowry (president of AFGA) and Doug Butler (first vice president of AFGA).

Livestock definition stays the same

By Lori Larsen As a result of public opinion into the keeping of racing pigeons within the city of Camrose, administration recommended council retain the existing definition of “livestock” in City of Camrose Land Use Bylaw 2838-15 and continue to prohibit the keeping of livestock within city limits, during a Committee of Whole meeting March 21.

Over a two-day period from Feb. 23 to 25, City administration received eight phone calls and three emails from the public voicing opinions on the keeping of racing pigeons within city limits.

The comments included a perception of an already existing pigeon problem in the city involving excrement, noise and damage to vehicles, and the potential for racing pigeons to cause additional problems to the above as well as problems of odour and damage to property, and that an urban setting was inappropriate for an activity such as the keeping of pigeons.

“I would suggest that this isn’t a case of silent majority that is actually in favour of keeping pigeons,” said City of Camrose director of planning and development Aaron Leckie. “But that it represents the general sentiment in the community that the keeping of pigeons is at this time not an appropriate use within the City.

“Taking the pigeon aspect completely out, if we were to take just one type of species out of the livestock definition and say yes, it is allowed subject to following regulations, we might begin to see a lineup on the number of similar uses that may have the same impact or less impact, such as micro pigs or laying hens.

“It is a long process to amend the livestock definition and there needs to be a separate review outside of the current review of the land use bylaw.

“If that is the goal of council, to open up the definition of livestock, I suggest making a motion to that effect and we will add it to the list within our department plan. It doesn’t seem as though the timing is right to open this up into a much larger discussion.”

Council accepted administration’s recommendation to retain the present definition of “livestock” within the LUB bylaw.

During Regular Council, Council reaffirmed their position by passing a Motion identifying that the Land Use Bylaw definition of “livestock” would not be amended to permit racing pigeons.

New building code levels the playing field between Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) and conventional construction May 1, 2016 the new Energy Efficiency requirements in the 2014 Alberta Building Code will be in effect. The Code will require an Effective R-17 above grade and an effective R20 below grade. This is a substantial insulationn increase for the residential building industry.

Conventional construction costs to meet these new effective R-17 and R20 standards will make R-30 insulated concrete foundations and walls more attractive than ever before.

Easter Eggs-travaganza

Children ran around searching under trees, on top of rocks, beside statutes and anywhere they could in order to find brightly coloured Easter eggs, packaged sweet treats and other hidden goodies during Augustana’s Eggs-travanganza held on March 26. Some children were more than willing to take time out of the frenzy to find treats to pose for the camera.

Pictured left to right, 2-year-old Emma Beesley, 5-year-old Hayden Beesley, 3-year-old Avery Brandt and 7-year-old Colby Beesley stopped their egg hunt to huddle in for a closeup for the paparazzi.

Some treats were a little easier to spot for 5-year-old Molly and 2-year-old Riley Zarski of Camrose during the egg hunt.

• Paving Stones • Planters • Soil and Rock • Firewood

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $10,000 to the Killam Agricultural Society.

The grant is from income from the Flagstaff Fund, the Willis and Irene Felzien Fund, the Gordon Enghoj Fund and the Daryl and Judy Larson Fund, all of which support projects in the Killam and surrounding areas.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects 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.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $3,900,000 to support community facilities and programs such as the Flagstaff Regional Aquatic Centre.
