School buses transport very precious cargo, so motorists are reminded to use extra caution when travelling around them.

Take time to readjust and familiarize yourself with the laws and rules of the road when it comes to school buses. Flashing amber and red lights, extended safety bars and stop signs and posted speed limits, are some of the measures used and enforced for school bus safety.

Guest editorial

Custom of waving

By Arnold Malone

Years ago, there were two interesting boys in a Hamilton, Ontario school.

They were good friends.

Also, they mimicked their teachers and political leaders. Taking on their voices and sounding surprisingly like the persons they impersonated.

One boy was Geoff Scott, the other was Rich Little. Most teachers thought Geoff could have a professional career doing impersonations, Rich, however, they weren’t so sure about.

Geoff went on to become a journalist and, later, a Member of Parliament. Rich enjoyed an amazing career doing impersonations and was a feature on radio, TV and performed several times for White House gatherings in Washington, DC. It came to pass that I asked Geoff to be a guest speaker at a constituency event and attend a meeting at the far southeast corner of my Crowfoot riding. The Crowfoot riding had a landmass larger than the smallest 42 countries at the United Nations. I lived on the boundary of the northwest corner.

When we left our farmyard to drive three hours to Acadia Valley, a village on the far southeast boundary, our closest neighbour, Lorenz Wenig, was driving towards us. There was a hardy wave and an exchange of smiles. Geoff wanted to know who that was. I told him about my very fine neighbour.

On route to Camrose, we met numerous other cars/ trucks and always there was a wave with smiles.

Now, on the prairies there is a community pattern of a town/village/hamlet every six to eight miles along a railroad line. Farmer families tend to know most everyone within a circle of 40 kilometres from their home. They also recognize the vehicles others drive. Waving a greeting is a part of prairie farm culture.

After Camrose, we drove many kilometres towards my hometown of Rosalind. I wanted to show Geoff where I grew up and the beautiful Battle River Valley.

As we approached the community of Rosalind, again, we met many oncoming vehicles and, again, I knew the occupants. True to culture, a lot more smiling and waving took place. Geoff was thunderstruck by this activity and voiced his amazement. This doesn’t happen in cities.

His amazement also excited that part of my brain that fosters mischief.

For the remainder of the three-hour drive, through farm and ranch country, I waved at every vehicle that came our way. Always, there was a vigorous wave along with a hopeful smile. They hoped they knew you.

Another characteristic of prairie culture is that when someone waves, you had better wave back. Otherwise you may be accused of being stuck-up. Many rural persons have been caught waving at oncoming drivers who were reaching to pull their sunvisor down or putting their hair in place.

So as the exchanges of waves took place, I made up names such as, “Oh, that was Fitzgerald Hepteperowski, he has a ranch just beyond those hills over there.”

Thankfully, Geoff never asked me to tell more about a person we met some kilometres back up the road. I had to forget those past names to make room for the next lie.

After the meeting, my trick was forgotten and we drove home in the dark.

Back in Ottawa, I was going for lunch in the Parliamentary restaurant where there are three alcoves assigned for each of the three larger political parties so they can eat with colleagues.

As I approached my alcove, I paused. I could hear Geoff around the corner speaking to others, “It was utterly uncanny. We drove for hours upon hours and he knew every person in the riding and they all smiled and waved at him. No wonder he got elected.”

Lesson: Don’t believe everything you think.

School bus safety

By Lori Larsen

What is big and yellow, comes out in the morning and puts smiles on many faces? The school bus.

It’s back to school again, after an extended break, and despite some apprehension, founded or not, parents and children alike are anticipating the return.

With the return to school comes the return of school buses on our roadways and motorists are reminded of the laws and rules of the road when it comes to sharing the roads with school buses, and ensuring utmost safety for children.

According to information provided on the Alberta Government website, when motorists approach a school bus with lights f lashing the following laws/rules apply.

On an undivided highway (not divided by a median) when approaching a school bus from either direction (front or the rear), and it has the alternating amber lights flashing, be ready to stop. This is a warning that the alternating red lights are going to begin flashing and the school bus is stopping to allow students to get on or off the bus.

Motorists passing a school bus with alternating amber lights flashing,

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster School bus driver Dave Borman is ready to greet students for the upcoming school year, but first makes sure all the safety devices on the bus are operating properly.

are advised to do so with extreme caution.

When the school bus stops to let students on or off, its alternating red lights will begin flashing and a stop sign will extend from the left side of the school bus. Motorists must come to a full stop about 20 metres (approximately four to five car lengths) away from the school bus. This distance allows drivers of other vehicles behind you to see the flashing lights

and students crossing the highway.

All vehicles must remain stopped until the alternating flashing red lights are turned off and the stop sign on the driver’s side is no longer extended.

On a two-lane undivided highway, motorists in both lanes must stop for a school bus.

On a highway divided by a median, when approaching a school bus from the rear and its alter-

nating amber lights are flashing, motorists must follow the same procedures for a highway that is not divided by a median.

W hen motorists approach a school bus from the front and the school bus has its alternating amber or red lights flashing, motorists may proceed with extreme caution and always watch for pedestrians. This only applies on a divided highway.

These rules apply

whenever and wherever the school bus lights are activated.

On a four-lane undivided highway, motorists in all four lanes must stop for a school bus.

On a highway divided by a median, vehicles to the rear of the school bus must stop.

Some municipalities have bylaws that do not require school buses to use their alternating flashing lights when stopping. In this case, motorists do not need to stop but should still be cautious and watch for pedestrians when the buses are loading or unloading students.

Motorists are also reminded to abide by all posted traffic signs. School zones have a speed limit of 30 km/h in both urban and rural areas. These limits are in effect on school days from 8 until 9:30 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. and 3 until 4:30 p.m., unless otherwise posted. The fine for passing a school bus with its red lights flashing is $402 and six demerit points.

At all costs ensuring the safety of students is the number one priority.

In many instances these students are younger children and may not be paying as much attention as they should be, so motorists need to be extra careful.

Province set to hike property taxes

By Murray Green

Camrose County was notified of changes proposed by the province to reduce the property tax of oil and gas companies through changes to the assessment model for regulated properties in this sector.

That means the rest of the ratepayers will have to pay more taxes to cover big oil company expenses.

“Council and administration are extremely concerned about the serious impacts of this decision because it will mean an increase in property tax, reduction of services, or combination of both to make up for this lost revenue,” said County Reeve Cindy Trautman on Aug. 11 at the regular County meeting.

While the stated intention of this decision is to increase the competitiveness of oil and gas companies in this hard time, these changes will disproportionately benefit large oil and gas companies and harm smaller local firms.

In addition to this, there are no regulations to ensure that this money from the reduction in taxes will be spent in Alberta to

improve the struggling oil and gas sector here.

“For these reasons, there seems to be few benefits to outweigh the added costs that County residents will be faced with,” added Trautman.

Based on the information provided to Camrose County from the province, the impacts from the four scenarios indicate a loss of approximately nine per cent of tax revenue, which equates to between $2.1 million and $2.9 million in overall lost revenue for Camrose County in the first year and increasing in subsequent years.

“To compensate for the loss of industry assessment and corresponding tax revenue, Camrose County will have to adjust operations in one of the following ways (or a combination of these): increase the residential mill rate between 41 per cent and 56 per cent and/or increase the non-residential mill rate (businesses in Camrose County) between 22 and 32 per cent and/or cut the County workforce by 24 to 32 per cent (16 to 22 full-time positions) and lose the corresponding services.”

If this proposed change

is passed, ratepayers will be asked to foot the bill through higher property taxes and see a loss of service from Camrose County.

Many services provided by the County would have to be cut, others decreased or eliminated.

“With the additional changes to the Police Funding Model, on top of historical unpaid taxes from oil and gas, County residential taxpayers will see significant property tax increases in the coming years.”

The County is asking ratepayers to let your MLA know your thoughts on this issue by contacting MLA Jackie Lovely at 780-6720000 or email camrose@ assembly.ab.ca.

Contact MLA Rick Wilson at 780-360-8003 or email m a s k w a c i s .w e t a s k i wi n @assembly.ab.ca to voice your concerns.

Take a few minutes and read the RMA position paper on this assessment change found at rmalberta .com under position statements.

The final decision on this proposal is expected by mid to late August, so action is needed soon.

Online crime reporting

By Lori Larsen

Rural residents can now report property crimes under $5,000 with the RCMP Online Crime Reporting at https://ocresielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/alberta.

The Online Crime Reporting can be used if you have lost something that is valued less than $5,000, someone has stolen something from you valued at less than $5,000, someone has vandalized your property (vehicle) with costs less than $5,000 to repair and the crime occurred within the jurisdiction of the Alberta RCMP. The Online Crime Reporting can not be used if there is a witness or suspect, there are lost or stolen items involving personal identity, firearms, licence plates or decals.

When reporting on the Online Crime Reporting you will need to supply the following information: your name,

phone number, address and email address.

Unless more information is required, an RCMP police officer will not be contacting you.

Note

Sessions will timeout after 60 minutes of inactivity and any progress to that point will be lost.

A typical report will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Knowingly filing a false police report is an offence and users of the Online Crime Reporting will be asked to accept all terms and conditions.

If you have a crime that requires a police officer, call the non-emergency number at 780-672-3341.

For emergent situations call 9-1-1.

If you have any questions regarding the Online Crime Reporting, please contact Camrose RCMP Detachment at telephone 780672-3342.

It provides guidelines to set the combine to meet targets for grain loss, grain sample quality and/or productivity.

By Angela Brackenreed

The Canola Council’s goal is for an average threshing loss of two per cent–or less–of total yield across the prairies.

But what is an acceptable amount of canola combine loss for your farm? Every farm will have a different answer, striking their own balance between capturing as much of the crop as possible, while also maintaining harvest productivity.

To answer that question for your farm, you must first figure out the level of losses out the back of the combine.

You might decide that one bushel per acre (bu./ac.) is an acceptable amount of loss, but what if your combine is throwing over three bu./ac. throughout most of the harvest day? You have to check to find out. And then you can decide whether to keep going or start making adjustments.

You need three tools to accurately measure losses: A drop pan. You can get pans that attach to the bottom of the combine and drop by activating a switch in the cab.

These pans usually match closely to the discharge width of the combine sieves. For a lower-tech option, someone can toss a throw pan or use a pan on a stick while the combine goes by at normal operation. No matter what pan you use, you need to know its square footage.

Some way to separate the seed from the chaff. This can be done by hand, but it can be time consuming. Canola screens or an airstream to lift chaff is best. Bushel Plus produces a screening device for this purpose.

A weight or volume measure. Measure the clean collected sample in grams or millilitres, dividing by the square footage of the pan to get a result in millilitres or grams per square foot. Plug your combine dimensions (header and discharge width) and the amount of loss into the conversion tables to get loss in bu./ac.

For the tables, print off the Combine Seed Loss Guide. A link to the guide is in the “Measuring actual losses” section of the harvest management chapter at canolaencyclopedia.ca.

Once you’ve made a few loss measurements, the next part of the process is to determine how to reduce those losses–if you decide they’re too high. The Combine Optimization Tool at canolacalculator.ca is an excellent resource, showing step by step adjustments to align combine losses with your harvest goals.

In 2019, Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) visited 31 farms across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and measured canola threshing losses from 50 machines. These included 40 models from six combine manufacturers. The survey found no connection between combine model and the amount of loss, but weather was a major factor. This emphasizes the need to regularly adjust and test throughout the day and harvest season. Temperatures greater than 23°C, relative humidity less than 45 per cent and low cloud cover all contributed to lower losses.

Once you become familiar with a machine, you will start to recognize ideal settings for those harvest afternoons that are warm and dry and for the evenings when the straw starts to toughen up. But you can’t get familiar without putting in the time and measuring losses from field to field and with changing weather conditions.

You will have in your mind what kind of loss you’re willing to accept, but you can’t know whether the combine is on target unless you check. And by measuring losses, you have a better idea how the combine performs and can be reassured that the combine is doing exactly what you want it to do.
