Reeve praises producers By Dan Jensen County Reeve Don Gregorwich praised agricultural producers, while taking a swipe at far right environmental activists at the April 6 noon luncheon of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce. “Within our County are some of the best operators in Alberta, if not across the country,” said Gregorwich. “Sometimes I get a bit annoyed when I hear of groups that come along and say ‘we are concerned about the land being misused’ and so on. Well, the farmer or rancher earns his family’s living from that land and he (or she) is not going to do something to wreck it.”

RCMP praise Crime Watch

By Murray Green and Lori Larsen Battle River Rural Crime Watch Society (BRRCW) is going strong and is jumping on board the technological bandwagon. At the BRRCW general meeting held on April 7, Camrose RCMP Constable Trent Kenyon spoke about the success of the BRRCW’s move to the use of technology in reporting and fighting rural crime. “The biggest thing I see as far as the police aspect of it (the partnership between RCMP and BRRCW) is the flow of information is happening and is so smooth now,” said Const. Kenyon. “The Bashaw RCMP agreed that previously (prior to using technology) the flow of information just wasn’t happening the way it could have been. “We have to evolve and this system seems to be working quite well. “With this new system there is also a definite change in thought patterns from all officers in the detachment,” added Const. Kenyon. “Officers are now thinking about it and using it with their files, in both Bashaw and Camrose detachments.” Officers can use Facebook to post information on pending files to assist them in any way on solving crimes. As well they can post educational pieces in order to inform the public and perhaps prevent crime from happening. Kenyon related a recent example of how the new flow of information is working. “Approximately three weeks ago we (RCMP) received a call about a suspicious vehicle in New Norway. In fact there were a couple calls on this one. It involved a white SUV with Ontario licence plates but no one was able to acquire a licence plate number. “The vehicle (in question) was observed driving slowly down back alleys and there was a concern from citizens the driver/passenger might be scoping out targets for committing property crimes. “When I received the file I emailed Kelly Carlson, (our Facebook Tech Rep.) and she put it up on Facebook right away. The next morning someone in Camrose who saw the post observed a vehicle matching the description posted on Facebook so they took down the licence plate then called us.” Given the information Kenyon investigated further and was able to speak with the owner of the SUV and determine he was conducting legitimate business in the area.

Camrose County celebrates five family farms By Murray Green

Five families received Century Farm Awards from Camrose County during the Agricultural Awards Night on April 9 in Hay Lakes. The evening was hosted by County agriculture communications committee chair and councillor Doug Lyseng. “We are engaged in programs for people of all ages. Our road system is about the same distance as going to Vancouver and back and that ties us together, similar to events like this,” said Reeve Don Gregorwich in his address. “We are here to pay tribute to those who deserve recognition as well as farms that have spawned over several generations. Tonight we recognize families that have shown commitment to themselves, their families, to their communities and to the future generations.” The Stuve family farm was established in 1903. They came from South Dakota to farm here within the county boundaries. Barley and oats were grown at that time. They also had milking cows and raised chickens and turkeys. They then purchased land in the Duhamel area for $1,600 in 1912. The Prichard family farm was established in 1905 by Samuel and William Prichard in the Ohaton area. They came from Campbellton, New Brunswick, to secure employment with the railway. After working on the Duhamel trestle, the brothers worked alongside each other on neighbouring farms. Samuel left for a time to dismantle the trestle that he helped build 14 years earlier. The farm had predominantly grain and cattle in the early days. The Don Campbell fam-

ily farm was established north of Round Hill in 1906, 110 years ago, after he arrived from Ontario. The farm produced crops, cattle and hogs. The farm always had hogs from the beginning, until 1999. He, too, worked for the railroad in the early days to support the farm. The Noden family farm was established in 1912. The Cassidy family was taken to their property by a horse drawn wagon and soon a house was built. The Douglas Noden family eventually took over the farm operation. The Schielke family farm was established in 1914 near New Norway. The Charlie Stuart family started with a Clydesdale horse farm. Later, the farm was taken over by the Allen Schielke family. They expanded the farm and grew various cereal crops. Today, Debbie and Kevin Schielke continue to make changes in their cow-calf operation with grass fed beef, pasture raised pork and free range eggs. The County presented the 2014 scholarship award to Leah Marshall, the 2015 winner, Sarah Irving, and the rural 2015 beautification awards to Ingret and Wilfred Weber, Deanna and Steven Trautman, and the Taves Farm and Garden. Longtime horticulturist Nan Shute, grain storage businessman Glenn Friesen, and cattle producer Dave Solverson were inducted onto the Wall of Honour. Entertainment was provided by the Fly Away band that included Travis Dolter and Kelsey Skaret from around Hay Lakes, Jordan Leden from Camrose, and Ryan Wowk from Vegreville.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Stuve family farm was started in about 1903. Left to right, Doug, Herta, Jim and Ross Stuve are still connected to the farm today. They received the award from Camrose County.

Matthews informs Crime Watch about scams By Murray Green

Julie Matthews offered tips to local residents at the Battle River Rural Crime Watch Society annual general meeting on April 7 in the Camrose County council chambers. “We need to trust our gut instincts. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is,” Matthews warned. “A lot of people I’ve talked to say they felt something wasn’t right and they didn’t trust their guts. I think that is super important because if something doesn’t seem right, walk away.” Matthews is known as the former trouble shooter on Global News television in Edmonton for 10 years. For the past two years she has been a senior investigator at Service Alberta. “I received 500 to 700 complaints a week, so it was difficult to only help out one case a day,” she said. In her role on television, Matthews assisted thousands of people by offering valuable information dealing with consumer issues, crime prevention and fraud. “We spent a lot of time educating people about fraud. When we phoned companies about things going on for weeks and months, often they would back off,” she said. “Media has an important role to play because they can partner with the RCMP and Rural Crime Watch, which helps because they have such an ability to get the message out there.” In her current position, Matthews investigates cases that can lead to fines or charges to offenders. “Two years ago I became a peace officer with the consumer investigations unit. We enforce all of the consumer protection acts within the province. Our biggest issues are landlords, the tenants act, and contractors. We have the power to investi-

gate and lay charges under the criminal code,” explained Matthews. “One of the biggest mistakes we see consumers make is agreeing to something verbally. It means nothing. If you don’t have something in writing there is nothing you are able to do to prove what the original agreement was about. Make sure everything is in writing and don’t pay them until the job is finished. Another one is leaving a deposit when you are taking a vehicle for a test drive. Get it in writing that the deposit is refundable. If you don’t, they don’t have to give it back to you. We get a lot of complaints about that. When you want to check on a company, Google the name of the company and the word complaint together and you will get everything that comes up about the company. If you know the owner or director Google that too.” “If you are hiring a company ask for addresses and names of people they have done work for. Don’t just get an address because it could be anyone’s place that looks good. Ask for phone numbers to inquire what work they did and don’t be afraid to knock on doors. In most cases, the home owners have never heard of the company.” The Battle River Rural Crime Watch Society is made up of a dedicated team of law enforcement personnel, political leaders, corporate sponsors and rural residents concerned with the crime level in the area. The goal of the combined effort is to educate and train rural families and individuals in being vigilant in reporting suspicious behavior in an effort to reduce criminal activity. They invite your participation by being the eyes and ears of rural Alberta. Often a small string of clues is the solution to solving minor or major crimes.

Crime Watch praised Continued from page 3 Statistics

Const. Kenyon provided Camrose detachment statistics for property crimes including: break and enter, possession of stolen property and theft (over and under $5,000). From Oct. 1, 2013 to Oct. 1, 2014 there were 106. From Oct. 1, 2014 to Oct. 1, 2015 there were 131. From Oct. 1, 2015 to the present there have been 82. “The numbers aren’t going in the right direction, however I don’t attribute that to BRRCW being ineffective,” he said. Const. Kenyon said an increase in property crimes is more likely the result of several factors, including a sluggish economy.

He encouraged rural residents to continue using BRRCW’s Facebook and website to stay informed and keep the Bashaw and Camrose RCMP informed. He also commented on moving forward and working together to be proactive about crime and stopping it before it happens. “The Camrose and Bashaw RCMP are working together with BRRCW to help keep residents informed about what is happening in the Battle River district,” he said.

County inducts three members onto Wall of Honour By Murray Green

Three members of the community were inducted into the Wall of Honour by Camrose County during the Agricultural Awards Night on April 9 in Hay Lakes. Longtime horticulturist Nan Shute, grain storage businessman Glenn Friesen and cattle producer Dave Solverson were celebrated for their achievements and the work they have done in building a better community within the area. Nan Shute

Nan Shute has made a huge contribution to plant agriculture (horticulture) in our community and county as well as at the provincial level. She and her late husband, Walter, began their interest in horticulture on their farm northeast of Camrose. After retiring from the teaching profession, she continued this interest by becoming an accredited judge with a rose specialty. She has volunteered many hours as a leader and teacher in this field: educating Alberta students in the Grade 6 curriculum Trees and Forests; serving as a member of the Camrose and District Horticultural Association, Alberta Horticultural Association, Camrose Communities in Bloom and Agricultural Communications Committee; participating in the Rose City Rose and Lily Show, Junior Gardeners in the County; judging Alberta Bench Shows; giving presentations on horticulture; helping with the Rosehaven Courtyard revival; initiating planting and care of the rose garden at

the Bill Fowler Centre and Memorial Garden; and being involved in other local organizations. Shute is truly dedicated to the promotion of responsible husbandry of our land and the importance and joy of growing plants. She delights in discovering the new and amazing and is willing to share her expertise. Glenn Friesen

As senior vice-president of sales and marketing at Meridian Manufacturing in Camrose, Friesen has played a pivotal role in the development and commercialization of innovative grain storage and handling solutions over the last 33 years. This was accomplished through his relationships with dealers, farmers and the local community. In addition, his many hours seeding in the spring and combining in the fall instilled in Friesen respect and gratitude for the agrarian way of life. As a visionary and leader, he has clearly contributed to the growth of the company. Friesen has generously contributed his time and talent to the agricultural community in Camrose County, as director and vice-president of Vision Credit Union board, in the start-up of the Canadian Food Grains Bank together with Rod Ross, and as an active member of Century Meadows Baptist church. With three years at Peace River Bible Institute, a concise business economics course at Queens, he believes that his best education was and continues to be the relationships with

brilliant farmers and producers he encounters, his friends and customers, his children, his wife, and God, who first gave him salvation, and strength, health and wisdom. Finally, for one born with dirt in his blood, Camrose and its agricultural community have been the driving force for his vision, both at Meridian and the surrounding rural initiatives. Dave Solverson

Dave was born and raised near Camrose. He started his farming career at the age of eight raising purebred Hereford cattle. He

was active in 4-H as both a participant and later as a local judge. In 1983, he and his brother Ken took over the family farm Woodwind Ranch from their parents, Bill and Mary. The ranch is located southwest of Camrose in the Battle River valley. Currently, the ranch operates on 6,000 acres with 2,500 head of cattle. Over the years, the family hosted the Cancer Trail Ride and is a strong supporter of the Battle River Community Foundation. From the mid 1990s to 2016, Solverson was active in various agricultural industry organizations, includ-

ing the Canadian Bull Congress, Alberta Barley, Alberta Beef Producers and the Canadian Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, where he served as president from 2014-16. Dave has contributed many hours towards improving the Canadian rancherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to compete internationally and has been influential in the development of federal and provincial agricultural policies, which have helped the beef producer. As a strong and passionate advocate of Canadian beef, Solverson has been instrumental in leading the industry to be competitive in global markets.
