On Nov. 1, general hunting season opened for Wildlife Management Units (WMU) in and around Camrose, which includes rifle, crossbow and bow and arrow, unless otherwise prohibited. Hunting, a sport which has been enjoyed for centuries, offers Albertans an opportunity to benefit in some physical activity while appreciating the diverse landscapes of the province. The Alberta Fish and Game Association advocates, through education, programs and initiatives, the conservation and sustainability of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural resources. Camrose and District Fish and Game president Glen Hand takes aim during game bird hunting season in one of the many sloughs situated around Camrose County.

Trautman leads County as reeve again By Murray Green

Cindy Trautman of New Norway and Division 2 started her second year as Reeve of Camrose County on Oct. 27. Gregorwich nominated Trautman as he stepped down from council after serving 15 years. Councillor Jack Lyle was named the Deputy Reeve and

councillor Brian Willoughby was declared the Agricultural Services Board chair for the coming year. “I declare that Cindy Trautman has been elected the reeve of Camrose County,” said administrator Paul King. Councillor Doug Lyseng was named the returning

Municipal Planning Commission chair. With Don Gregorwich stepping down as a councillor, Trevor Miller was added to the Emergency Services Committee; Lyseng is now on the Standing Committee to Investigate Complaints; Greg Gillespie was named to both the Camrose and Area Lodge Authority and BRAED; and Lyle was added to the West Dried Meat Lake Landfill Committee. Gregorwich served 12 years as reeve and one more year as a councillor. Since the position became open within 18 months of an election, the position will remain open. The next election is on Oct. 18, 2021. “I move that regular meetings will take place the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. All meetings will start at 9 a.m.,” said councillor Gillespie. The motion was carried. They also agreed to keep the mileage rate at $0.54 cents a kilometre and per diem rates for representatives at large on committees, the same as last year.

During an evening dedicated to the outstanding contributions of local citizens, six members of Flagstaff County were honoured for their service to their communities and the many individual lives whom they have touched. The evening was hosted by the office of Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. “We wanted to do a COVID friendly event to celebrate and recognize so many wonderful people whom we have in our community(s),” said Lovely. Among the evenings recipients were: Killam RCMP Corporal Trent Cleveland; Flagstaff Family and Community Service director (Lougheed) Holly Bovencamp; Flagstaff teachers (retired) Heather Cheavraux (Central High Sedgewick Public School), Ian MacEachern(Central High Sedgewick Public School), Marilyn Kuysters (Killam Public School); and Flagstaff Family and Community Services executive director Lynne Jenkinson. Special guest Minister of Community and Social Services Rajan Sawhney was present to offer her congratulations to the recipients on behalf of the Alberta Government. “The reason why we are here today is to recognize community leaders. I know that many of you whom are here tonight do the things you do because it comes from the heart and it means something to you personally,” said Sawhney. In hopes of continuing the recognition of those of all ages and from all sectors of the community, MLA Lovely encourages citizens to nominate people they would like to see receive recognition by emailing camrose @ assembly.ab.ca and include a bio of the nominee.

Bashaw PolyAg plant given kudos By Lori Larsen

On Friday, Oct. 23, Alberta minister of Agriculture and Forestry Devin Dreeshen paid a visit to the Bashaw PolyAg Recyling plant, offering kudos on behalf of the province for the forward-thinking work this organization is doing to protect the environment while providing employment opportunities. PolyAg Recycling recycles waste agricultural plastics, such as grain bags, by processing them into Post Consumer Resin (PCR). The plastic bags are shredded into small flakes, pre-screened to remove residual grain and dirt, then passed through a wash system to remove any further contaminants, dried,

densified, then passed through a double extruders system, melting the plastic into strands. The strands are then cooled and cut into small PCR pellets. The plant is capable of processing up to 7,000,000 (14,000 grain bags) per year and employs ten fulltime staff members. “I’m so proud of the work this group of entrepreneurs has done to take a waste product from our farming community and turn it into a form that can be repurposed,” said Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. “I’m even more proud of the fact that they have chosen Bashaw, the centre of the agriculture community, and provided employment opportunity for our locals.”

Mandatory wearing of face coverings By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose has instituted a mandatory face coverings bylaw for all public places in order to attempt to con-

trol the spread of COVID in the community. Bylaw 3129-20 (mandatory face coverings) received three readings and a unanimous vote by

council supporting the bylaw. All residents and visitors to the City will be required to wear a face covering in all indoor

public spaces, and are also reminded to wash hands, respect social distancing guidelines, and avoid large indoor gatherings.

For more information on the details of Bylaw 3129-20, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

RCMP reports crime levels are lowered By Murray Green

Wetaskiwin-Camrose RCMP Insp. Keith Durance reported to Camrose County council on Oct. 27 that crime levels in the area have been reduced. He also introduced the new commanding officer for Camrose, Cpl. Kevin Krebs, who is filling in for Cpl. Mark Cusack’s leave of absence. “Kevin is in the office to make sure the administration in the office runs smoothly, supervise staff and take walk-in customer complaints, doing the same role, except he will be reporting to me in Wetaskiwin,” explained Durance. “I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of people, and it is taking longer than I thought to get around to all the different groups and organizations. I have a bit of a farming background, working for a county,” said Krebs. “You have a good guy here who will be in the community and he does a good job for us,” added Durance. “I taxed him pretty heavy on

getting out to the communities from Hay Lakes to New Norway and all around the area.” Over the last six months, the crime rates have gone down in the Camrose area. He reported that all the member positions in Camrose are full and that he has put in a request to add an additional administrative staff position to help with the office duties. “Criminal offences are down three per cent, persons crime is down 23 per cent, and property crimes are down 18 per cent. The downward trends are consistent with other areas, and rural crimes are going down. Break and enter crimes are down 26 per cent and theft of autos is down 51 per cent, which is fantastic. The only one that was trending up was fraud. However, we found an error and that too is down a bit,” shared Durance. “Our goal is to have a 26 per cent clearance rate (on solving crimes) and we are at 22 per cent in the Camrose area. We are almost there.” He shared the suppression results of some major events, including a Camrose event.

“We have conducted 500 curfew checks to keep an eye on some of the past offenders.” Durance also explained that the RCMP members are putting together a HUB, groups that will work close to local agencies such as The Open Door, to get a better understanding of why crimes are happening and to learn what the RCMP can do to make sure people receive the help they need.

Corporal Krebs joins the ranks By Lori Larsen

Camrose and Camrose County will be getting familiar with the new Camrose RCMP Corporal, Kevin Krebs, as he makes his way in and around the area, getting to know not only the district, but the people who call it home. Corporal Krebs has been with the RCMP for 21 years, 16 of those years at the Wetaskiwin detachment and, most recently, four years at the Edmonton International Airport (EIA). Born in Edmonton and raised there for the first four years of his life, Krebs then moved to Hudson Hope, BC, with his family. In 1976, he moved to Pincher Creek, then back to Hudson Hope until 1979, when he moved to Edson. After meeting his wife, who hailed from a farming family in Edson, he soon learned the many facets of farming, both rewarding and challenging. “I have the utmost respect for farmers. It is difficult to make a living, and (for many) it is more of a lifestyle of providing for the family.” After experiencing life in a few different career goals, he turned his focus to policing, graduating from Regina RCMP depot in January 2000. “We were the first graduating troop of the new millennium,” noted Krebs. His first posting out of depot was Wetaskiwin, where, as a result of a serious health concern with his youngest daugh-

ter, he remained for 16-and-a-half years, so the family could be near a large centre and vital medical facilities. Seeking a change, Krebs transferred to the Edmonton International Airport in 2016, where he gained a great deal of experience working with a tight knit community within the airport, experiencing training opportunities unique to securing a large international port (airport). “It was a huge community complex and business–very forward thinking, especially on the safety and security side.” During his time with the EIA and in his capacity as RCMP, Krebs liaisoned with other organizations including Canadian Border Services Agency, American Customs and the In-flight Security Officers (Air Marshals), businesses and services. As a result of COVID-19, the daily number of people passing through EIA slowed drastically, and when Krebs was offered the position with Camrose detachment, he saw it as an opportunity to use his interpersonal and liaison skills to move forward. He said the position as Corporal for the Camrose detachment is not that of commander, it is primarily to liaison with rural communities and build an understanding of what rural residents feel their policing needs are, and what the RCMP can realistically do to serve those needs.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Wetaskiwin-Camrose RCMP, Camrose Detachment Corporal Kevin Kreb’s primary focus is to liaison with rural community businesses and residents.

“We have to listen to the people and what they feel their needs are, but we also have to be able to say that it sounds good, but here is the reality of it, and recognize that we (RCMP) may have to change how we do business in certain areas.” He looks forward to getting out in the rural communities within the Camrose district to meet and listen to the concerns residents have that require police services and how both the RCMP and residents can work together to prevent crime in the area. “It is very difficult to get our job done like we

used to. We don’t catch a lot of crime in action, it is more a response. That is why we need our communities to help us and phone in when they see something suspicious–keep us informed.” Corporal Krebs encourages residents to get involved and assist the RCMP in doing their job to ensure they keep their communities safe. He welcomes residents to meet him, share information, ask questions and help the Camrose detachment build a strong positive relationship with the communities they police.

Neighbours watching out for each other By Lori Larsen

County residents are doing a wonderful job at being good neighbours, but now with harvest season at a close, homesteads in the County are putting away machinery, which means a little less familiar country road traffic. Camrose RCMP and Battle River Rural Crime Watch (BRRCW) board members remind rural residents that being an “interested” neighbour is being a good neighbour, and encourages rural residents to report any behaviour that seems out of place or suspicious, whether on their own property or on neighbouring properties. “Get to know your

neighbours again and know their contact or phone numbers,” advised BRRCW president Devin Bonnar. “This is always a great way to reintroduce yourselves and also, should something happen in the area, you are not looking for phone numbers, so you can contact everyone quicker if you need to get information out.” Information sharing is another vital tool when it comes to preventing crime. The BRRCW Facebook page includes posts from Camrose, Bashaw, and Wetaskiwin RCMP detachments containing important information on crime occurring in rural areas, as

well as posts from residents or other news sources. “The County of Camrose residents play a vital role in crime prevention,” said RCMP Camrose/ Wetaskiwin detachment community liaison Corporal Kevin Krebs. “By reporting suspicious occurrences, vehicles and people, it can assist the police in tracking down suspects responsible for rural crime. By locking your vehicle and residential doors all the time, and by not leaving your keys in your vehicle, you make crime prevention a community commitment, and it’s everyone’s business. We are all partners in crime prevention.”

Residents can also report any suspected poaching or serious public or private land abuse through Alberta Report A Poacher at 1-800-642-3800 or online at alberta.ca/ report-a-poacher. The Crowd Security app is a downloadable app (www.crowdsecur ity.ca) available for use in reporting crimes in progress, threats to safety, suspicious activities or lost valuables, which then alerts everyone who lives nearby. The app allows users to communicate with other app users and ultimately track the activity, whereabouts and direction of suspicious persons or vehicles, and continues to

report new information as it occurs, creating a trail of evidence for the police. By doing so, it increases the likelihood of the police solving and ultimately preventing crimes from occurring. Finally, word of mouth can be a rural resident’s best source of finding out what is happening in and around the County. As they say, news spreads fast and the quicker that information is shared, the better chance there is of assisting your neighbour with protecting lives and property and fending off would-be criminals.
