County… meeting the grade

This was the first day of operation for the new grader, clearing a fresh blanket of the white stuff during the week of Feb. 3 to 7. Grader operators are summoned to the call of duty at any time of the day, ensuring County roads are kept clear and safe.

Give grader operators plenty of room to do their jobs.

Pictured are Camrose County grader operator Dan Padilla, left, and grader supervisor Doug Wood, right, getting a closer look at the County’s newest addition to the grader fleet.

Armena 4-H Beef Club

By Morgan Knull, Club Reporter

The Armena 4-H Beef Club started its 66th year with an organizational meeting that was held in early October. This year we have 15 members and two Cleavers. Our annual steer weigh in was held on Oct. 27, 2019 where we had 15 steers weigh between 578 and 870 lbs.

There were also five carcass calves and eight heifers that were brought to register. All calves were weighed and vaccinated.

A big thank you to Nickel Farms for hosting our weigh in and the Farm Animal Hospital for the vaccine donation.

Club members got their volunteer activities underway helping out at the Harvest Supper in October and at the Armena Roast Beef supper in November.

The club’s annual Christmas Party was held at the Armena skating rink in December. Everyone had a great time skating, playing hockey, socializing and eating great food. We even had a gift exchange at the end of the day that was a lot of fun.

We just finished our public speaking activity on Feb. 9. Congratulations to all members who completed the task. For some of us first year members it was a little nerve-racking, but we made it through.

The next activity we have is our farm tour in early March to see how everyone’s calf is growing.

Our club achievement day is being held on Saturday, April 25 at the CRE. Mark your calendars to come check it out.

FWEB joint investigation leads to hefty fines

By Lori Larsen

Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch were one of several FWEB agencies that took part in a major unlawful hunting investigation that took place over three years, involved several accused, locally and around the province as well as out of country and resulted in hefty fines and licence suspensions.

The case involved charges against 13 individuals from Alberta, Saskatchewan and the US, including St. Paul, Langdon, Spedden, Eckville, Two Hills, Stettler, Drumheller in Alberta, Rosetown, Saskatchewan and Roeland Park, Kansas USA. The breadth of the area covered is an indication of the collaboration that transpires among agencies.

The investigation began in early 2017 when FWEB officers out of the Stettler office discovered several people were hunting, with an Indigenous person, who has a constitutionally protected right to hunt, in an attempt to hide otherwise illegal activities.

In this particular case, the investigation uncovered poachers hunting out of season or without the proper licences.

The list of offences included: hunting without a licence; allowing another person to use their licence; using another licence; hunting during a closed season, unlawful possession of wildlife; unlawful trafficking of wildlife; hunting big game as a nonresident alien without an outfitter-guide permit and guiding for reward without a licence.

After all was said and done, the case was heard in provincial court and resulted in $63,590 in fines, and 31 years of combined recreational hunting licence suspensions.

“Fish and Wildlife officers encounter a wide variety of violations and violators during any given year,” noted Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch District Officer Lorne Rinkel. “When people are engaged in this type of deliberate illegal activity, it can be extremely difficult for our officers to detect and it can go on for a long time. The hunting community and general public should understand that any amount of information they can provide with regards to illegal activity, may be the small piece of the puzzle that officers need to catch serious wildlife violators.”

Camrose County has turned on the water for the Armena to Ervick to Braim Waterline that has been completed and commissioned, Feb. 19.

“The above ground reservoir has a capacity of 600 cubic metres of water when full. We are not operating at that level currently, because we want to make sure we have a lot of cycling in the system. We monitor the incoming and outgoing chlorine levels to make sure they are maintained, which is mandated

by Alberta Environment,” said County utilities coordinator Curtis Smith.

INVITATION TO TENDER FARMLAND The following land is hereby offered for sale by tender, subject to the restrictions, reservations, and non-financial obligations in the existing Certificate of Title: SW 10-43-15-W4, (containing 160 acres, more or less) Tenders are to be submitted in sealed envelopes, marked “BENDFELD TENDER”, to Andreassen Borth, with the tenderer’s GST number and accompanied by a cheque made payable to “Andreassen Borth” for $5000.00 and delivered before 12:00 noon on March 2, 2020, to Andreassen Borth, Barristers & Solicitors, #200, 4870-51 Street, Camrose, Alberta T4V 1S1. Attention: James Harry Andreassen.

The taxes will be adjusted on closing.

Any surface leases will be assigned, but not adjusted.

Tenders will not be opened in public.

The balance of the purchase price shall be paid to Andreassen Borth on or before April 6, 2020. Tenders are irrevocable and shall remain open until dealt with by the offices of Andreassen Borth.

This waterline is part of the Capital Region Southwest Water Services Commission and extends the line from the Hamlet of Armena, which was commissioned in 2014, to the Ervick area north of the junction of Highway 21 and Highway 13 and then on to the Braim area north of the City of Camrose.

“Water goes up to the

Hamlet of Braim right now, we just have pressure on that line and it is not hooked up (to residents) yet,” explained Curtis.

“We have the ability to provide a lot more water to the Ervick Subdivision compared to what we currently have. With the agreement with the Village of Bittern Lake, we can only provide water between midnight and 6 a.m. If we ever need to do any flushing we don’t have enough volume to properly scour the lines. With this new system we will be able to maintain those lines with enough volume by blowing 60 litres of water a second, while maintaining pressure where we need to be at in the subdivision as well,” said Curtis.

This waterline extension exemplifies council’s commitment to economic development and quality of life for Camrose County businesses and residents.

The process to extend the waterline was first contemplated by council in 2017.

A feasibility study and engineering plan was completed in 2018 and the project was tendered in 2019.

The project was awarded to 640 Earthworks for the pipeline portion and to Alpha Construction for the reservoir portion. The project is funded with MSI Capital funds and a debenture. The total project was estimated to cost $6.8 million. While the project suffered some delays it was completed under budget.

The new waterline is 20.7

km long and includes a new reservoir site and upgrades to the existing Armena reservoir site and upgraded water service to the businesses in the Ervick Industrial Park.

The potential development area along Highway 21 includes more than 120 acres. This area is designated for highway commercial and industrial development. For every million dollars in development, the County will receive approximately $14,000 in property tax income annually.

A conservative estimate is for $12 million in development over the next five years and even one large commercial or industrial development could bring much more. The availability of water services increases the attractiveness of the area to more potential developers.

Many more acres suitable for residential subdivision development are present at other places along the waterline.

Camrose County’s guiding principles indicate that the County will invest to enhance the tax base, through commercial and industrial expansion, for the benefit of residents. In addition, Camrose County has a goal to support the distribution and availability of potable water to County residents and businesses. Retaining and attracting businesses to the area and promoting the benefits of the valuable transportation corridors as a key economic goal of the County. The development of the Armena to Ervick to Braim waterline supports these strategic principles and goals.

BRCF grant assists BRWA programs

By Murray Green

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Battle River Watershed Alliance to assist with school education programs.

“We go to a lot of schools, especially in the Camrose area, to share a program called Waste in our Watershed that every Grade 4 class in Camrose takes part in. They love it. It is a great day-long program. We are also holding a program with the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association at Pleasure Island (in the County) to hold a conservation camp. Last year, was our first camp. We also have wetland education out there as well,” explained BRWA general manager David Samm. “We are trying to get the students into the watershed, so they can experience the life that goes on in a wetlands area.

We do pond dipping so they can see the life in the water and we also do water quality testing. This funding will be used for supplies and equipment.”

The BRCF grant of $6,275 is from income of several funds including Mygind ($1,925), Rud ($250), Agricore ($300), Baumle ($300), Drever Anniversary ($650), Samm ($350), Students for Sustainable Environment ($450), Williams ($350) and Grattidge ($1,700).

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and programs such as this in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the gen-

erosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are 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 $6,370,000 to support programs and facilities operated by organizations like the Battle River Watershed Alliance.

The Flying Detective makes a landing at Daysland theatre

By John Chalmers

One of Canada’s great aviation stories is now the subject of a new play, The Flying Detective, which will soar over Highway 13 and land in Daysland, to be staged at the town’s Palace Theatre on March 11 at 7:30 p.m.

In Edmonton on Aug. 30, 1919, constable William Nixon was fatally shot at 3 a.m. while on foot patrol. He had joined the police force in 1912.

Nixon then served in the army for the First World War, was awarded the Military Medal for bravery, and returned to the police after returning from overseas.

Submitted James Campbell, the flying detective, is seen in the airplane on a street in Edson after arriving from Edmonton.

The Flying Detective re-enacts the first aerial police chase in the British Empire, in which famed pilot, Wilfrid “Wop” May, f lew Edmonton police detective James Campbell from Edmonton to Edson in pursuit of the killer.

The alleged perpetrator was John Gundard Larsen, suspected of armed robberies and two other shootings, who fled Edmonton by train to Edson. The manhunt for him is the subject of the play, commissioned by the Edson and District Historical Society from Accidental Humour Co. of Edmonton.

Two hours after takeoff from Edmonton, Wop May and Detective Campbell in a Curtiss JN-4 biplane known as a “Jenny,” landed on a street in Edson. Twelve hours later and south of Edson, Campbell had Larsen under arrest. But Larsen escaped while handcuffed, was re-captured and taken by train back to Edmonton.

He was tried, convicted and jailed for his crimes.

Following preview performances in August 2019 at the Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival to sold-out houses, the play had its official premiere in Edson at the end of August, again earning standing ovations at a gala performance.

An amazing aspect of the staging is the building of a Curtiss Jenny right before the eyes of the audience. In moments, the airplane is assembled, the men are seated in the cockpit and the propeller spins. The biplane is soon “flying” among the clouds.

Special effects in the production include clever integration of live action on video shown on three large

screens in a unique treatment that adds dimension to the play.

“What a wonderful experience,” said Denny May after seeing the play.

His father, Wop, was a First World War fighter pilot.

“Dad would have loved the play–a murder mystery, a dangerous flight, tracking down a killer, and with humour included, which was very appropriate.”

Three generations of Detective Campbell’s family have seen the play.

Great-grandson John Campbell said, “This story would have been lost to our family were it not for the important work of historians and museums. It is a great Canadian story of courage and teamwork, as gripping and entertaining

The pilot, the killer, the cop and other characters bring the story to life, but perhaps the best part of the play is that it not only commemorates a historic flight in Canadian aviation, it is also an all-Alberta story.

Use caution around graders

By Lori Larsen

In Alberta whenever there are three or more cm of snow on highways, or when highways become icy, grader, sand truck and snowplow operators are called to action.

Over 32,000 kilometres of provincial highways, including those in Camrose County, are maintained day and night to ensure traffic continues to flow as safely as possible.

“Camrose County, alone, has 2500 kilometres of gravel roads that are maintained primarily through the use of graders,” said Camrose County Public Works manager Zach Mazure.

“The road network is divided up among 10 operators, each with approximately 250 kilometers of road, to clear snow through the winter and shape and maintain during the summer.”

The operation of graders requires skilled and professional drivers who are tasked with a job that, especially during winter months, can be very challenging.

“During the winter months, a snow wing is added to the already large grader to assist with snow removal. It takes each operator four to five days to clear their area after a snowfall,” explained Mazure.

County administration reminds all roadway users of the importance of using extreme caution when approaching a grader, especially when the grader is actively plowing snow.

“It is important to use caution when approaching a grader when it is plowing snow,” advised Mazure.

“The operator is concentrating on many things inside and outside their cab and may not see you. The swirling snow can cause visibility problems as well.

The grader may unexpectedly slow down or reverse direction as it passes intersections, approaches or driveways.”

Mazure added that typically the grader operators do not run when the snow is still falling, to minimize visibility issues and further ensure the safety of all county road users, including the grader operators.

To get the job done, Camrose County has a fleet of graders, each machine costing approximately $450,000 with two or three of the fleet replaced each year.

Motorists are always advised to avoid any travelling when the weather is particularly poor and allow roadway maintenance crews the time needed to do their job in preparing safer roads.

If travel is absolutely necessary then motorists are reminded to drive appropriately for the road conditions, plan ahead allowing plenty of time to arrive at destinations safely. When encountering road maintenance crews, such as graders, snowplows or sanding trucks, give them space until they are able to pull over, then motorists may pass safely.

The job of grader operators is often a cold, lonely, dangerous and thankless job, but necessary to ensure the safety of all Alberta motorists.

Let me play out this scenario for you…

You get into an accident. Your insurance company says, “Take your vehicle to so and so.”

But you say, “I want to take it to The Auto Shoppe – I know Jackie Rae is the celebrity apprentice there, and she wouldn’t lead me astray!”

All joking aside, where you take your vehicle after an accident is the most important decision you can make. Two reasons: Number 1: You need to take it to a shop certified by the world’s leading auto manufacturers.

Number 2: You need someone you can trust, and that’s The Auto Shoppe in Camrose.

Wow, now that’s a body shop.
