7th ANNUAL

Battle River Ride For STARS Hoofs To Helicopters

Saturday, July 11This event will once again be hosted by The Bar L Lazy Ranch at Castor, and will feature a one-day, 20-mile ride through the picturesque Battle River Valley. All age groups interested in a fun-filled day of riding are encouraged to attend. A fee of $45 is required to participate with all proceeds going to

Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS). Riders are also encouraged to collect pledges for the event. Lunch and supper will be provided. There will also be a silent auction, door prizes and presentations.

Last year’s ride attracted 124 riders who raised just under $24,000 and, to date, the rides have generated a total of $80,000 raised for STARS. This year’s ride is dedicated to the memory of David Rintoul – an active

participant in previous rides, who will be present in spirit at this year’s event. For more information on the Ride For Stars, please contact Carol at 403-882-2515 or Henry at 587-282-5092.

The team of experienced air medical crew, skilled pilots and industry-leading medi-vac helicopters has meant the difference between life and death for a significant number of people from East Central Alberta

numerous times since the remarkable undertaking got off the ground in 1985. The iconic red STARS helicopters are more than an ambulance in the air; each is a sophisticated medical environment brought directly to the patient, be it at the side of the road or at a small rural hospital. Another chance for the public

to help ensure this incredible service continues, and constantly improves, will take place in a couple of weeks.P

By Murray GreenCamrose County will be tackling the ongoing Braim

water drainage problem a different way this year.Poor drainage on the east side of Braim on William

Street was brought to the attention of public works manager Graham Backus and he reported that to council on May 26.

In the spring, water ponds on the east side and floods two acreages. The water was a bigger problem a few years ago and the county asked the City of Camrose to move its snow removal piles at the airport from the neighbouring area and that helped the problem to a point.

“An investigation highlighted some problem areas and resulted in the finding that the current ditch is not ade-quate,” explained Backus. “We have two culverts. Ditches have been filled in and that (fill-in material) would have to be cut out. In the third area, which is a natural high point in the ditch, (it) would have to be cut too. Then there’s a section, if council wishes to, fill and abandon the first culvert as we go north. We would use the material from those two cut sections to fill that area.”

That process would involve major removal of trees in the area. The second thing to consider is availability of staff and equipment to do that.

“Right now our staff and equipment is maximized,” said Backus. “A third party would need to be hired to cut down the trees.”

Because he was away, Backus didn’t have a cost estimate for council.

“We had a culvert there that was plugged on William Street before it was paved. It was clogged with dirt and every-thing for years,” recalled councillor Trevor Miller.

When the road was paved the County replaced the cul-vert and now the water flows through onto the acreages in the area and floods them in the spring.

“The plugged culvert forced the water to go north to the creek,” added Miller. “It still floods in the spring and is turn-ing into a swamp. One year the water was within two feet of a house.”

The plugged culvert diverted excess water north and around to the nearby creek rather than straight across the acreages. Local homeowners want a solution that doesn’t harm the trees in the area.

However, paving and changes made to the street have altered the landscape enough to cause problems.

“As it stands now, water would have to rise a meter before it would flow to the next culvert. Now you’ve got asphalt on there. If you’ve got water sitting there, in any kind of accu-mulation, you could have that asphalt heave. I don’t have anything to back that up. I’d still recommend cutting further to the south.”

Trees are located in the ditch and close to the pavement. Any ditching would cause the elimination of trees.

“Is that a natural waterway?” asked councillor Brian Willoughby.

“When the houses were built, there was no water going through there because it was already plugged,” indicated Miller.

Backus suggested that a request be made to the City of Camrose to allow them to build a berm using existing mate-rials in the area in order to keep the water from the airport in the ditch.

The County passed a motion made by Miller to ask the City for permission to perform earth work to build a berm to prevent drainage from the airport property entering the Braim subdivision.

A second motion passed to build a blockage on the culvert to stop drainage to the acreages.

County tackles drainageissue in Braim subdivision


ArmenaMain Street to be pavedBy Murray Green

Camrose County council approved Sched-ule A and B improve-ments that include paving Armena’s main street on June 23.

This would complete the project that started with bringing water to the hamlet.

Border Paving pro-vided a total bid of $232,155 plus GST for Highway 21 access road-work as well as building main street.

Camrose County public works inadver-tently recommended the awarding of only sched-ule “B” of the Armena paving work at the June 9 regular meeting when the request for quota-tions did not allow for splitting the project into two items.

Councillor Ken Krause made the origi-nal motion to approve Border Paving’s sub-mission to complete the work as per the Armena Paving Schedule B at a cost of $86,285 plus engineering fees of $10,471.00 with fund-ing to come from public works reserves ($85,000) and the 2015 public works gravel crushing budget ($11,756), and further that the exist-ing section of gravel between Highway 21 and Armena main street remain gravel with some grading improvements to be completed at a lat-er date.

Due to an oversight on the request for quota-tions details, it is worded that the contractor will complete either Sched-ule A as a stand-alone project or Schedules A and B in combination, but not Schedule B as a stand-alone project. As a result, Border Paving advised that they will not be able to complete Schedule B as per the council motion.

Councillor Jack Lyle added both schedules to his motion.

“I’m hearing that both projects will have to be done sooner or lat-er, so doing it at the same time makes more sense,” he said.

The approval of the recommendation resulted in an addition-

al $135,399 plus GST being added from the MSI fund.

Public works man-ager Graham Backus explained there was $85,000 budgeted in 2014 to complete pav-ing work between the Highway 21 paved apron and the paved section on Armena’s Main Street. However, the $85,000 will be needed for Main Street alone.

At the June 9 meet-ing, councillor Doug

Lyseng, of Armena, said if only one of the projects can be done, he would recommend main street first. Then he declared a conflict of interest, so councillors could vote on the motion.

“Our schedule did not permit this work to be completed in 2014 and as such the budget-ed amount was carried over into 2015 in the form of a short term sav-ings account,” he report-ed to council on June 9.

A request for quotes was sent out to four pav-ing companies pertain-ing to the work. Border Paving submitted the winning quote for the work.

About $85,000 of this project expense will be funded from the original operational budget, with the remaining $11,756 to be re-allocated from the gravel crushing bud-get.

“Schedule A which pertains specifically to

the apron paving and road upgrade between Highway 21 and the existing Armena main street paving was quot-ed at $145,870 in Bor-der Paving’s submission, while the Schedule B work, which included repairs to the existing Main Street paving was quoted to be $86,285,” said Backus.

It was carried to improve Armena’s con-struction this year.

Garbage collection at Pelican PointBy Murray Green

Curbside waste collection at Pelican Point was given approval by Camrose County council June 2.

On May 10, councillor Jack Lyle received a petition from the residents of Pelican Point requesting that as per Section 7(f) of the municipal government act (MGA) that the County supply the service of curbside solid waste collection.

County administrator Paul King determined that the petition met the require-ments to be acted upon.

Administration sent notification to all residents in the designated area that would be affected.

Residents were con-cerned that without a man-datory payment, garbage will once again become an issue. Bins are unsatisfactory, said one resident, as refuse blows all over the place, and people use them for disposal of build-ing supplies or furniture.

“A waste management utility managed by the Coun-ty is a progressive initiative, which aligns with ideals shown in other sustainable initiatives that have received international awards for environmental excellence. A waste management utility which provides for curb side pick up supports sustainable environmental practice,” said Rosemary Wittevrongel, in a letter to council.

Councillors passed sec-ond and third readings of a bylaw to have the collection service.

“Following a very dry spring, towards the end of last week wetter weather began to move into the prov-ince, bringing with it much needed rain to many areas in critical need of moisture,” says Ralph Wright, man-

ager, agro-meteorological applications and modelling section, Alberta Agricul-ture and Forestry, Edmon-ton.

“Roughly one third of the agricultural areas received at least 10 mm.

Previously dry areas receiv-ing less than 5 mm include much of southern Alberta, the Special Areas, and parts of east-central Alberta.”

Many areas received at least 10 mm of rain over the few days before June 13,

alleviating short term mois-ture stress, says Wright. “Upwards of 15 mm fell across much of the southern Peace Region, through the Bonneville/Cold Lake area and along a corridor run-ning between Stettler and Nordegg.”

Battle River Railway seeks maintenance partnersBy Murray Green

Battle River Railway has approached Camrose County about becoming a partner in the maintenance of 60 cross-ings along the shortline rail-road that spans from Cam-rose to Alliance.

BRR chair Ken Eshpeter and maintenance supervi-sor Reg Enright attended the June 9 council meeting to update councillors on the railway and to propose the cost sharing program.

“We at the Battle River Railway are proud as punch of what has happened with the railway over the years, since 2010,” said Eshpeter. “We have minor issues and one is the maintenance of crossings.”

BRR believes the entire community benefits from having local ownership of the railway.

“Currently BRR is main-taining the railroad bed, track and crossings totally on its own. We have 60 pub-lic crossings, which we have been expected to maintain. We are questioning why BRR should be the sole maintainer of these municipal crossings. Each time we replace a cross-ing our cost is about $4,000,” explained Eshpeter.

“We are of the opinion that the public at large ben-efits significantly from well maintained crossings and they should have an oppor-tunity to take part in their maintenance. We have had

this discussion with Flagstaff County and they are in the process of researching the issue.”

BRR indicated it should pay 25 per cent of the cost and the two counties should split the remaining amount. To replace 60 crossings over a number of years would cost about $240,000.

“I would like to know how you came up with the 25-75 split,” questioned coun-cillor Jack Lyle.

“We use the crossings for our use, but the public at large utilizes the railway crossings. When we talk about the maintenance of a regional shortline, which can benefit everybody, we should all have an opportunity to take part in the maintenance of those crossings,” Eshpeter said.

“In the 14 shortlines in Saskatchewan, the munici-

pal governments pay all of the costs of the planks and materials for the crossings,” shared Enright.

Councillor Brian Wil-loughby noted when BRR purchased the railway, it knew there were mainte-nance costs.

“I just have a hard time putting the cost on all rate-payers,” he said.

“We put $50,000 in every year for the first five years and replaced 4,400 ties which probably cost us $300,000,” said Enright. “Our line is in exceptional shape.”

Currently the railroad right of ways intersect county roads, but are usually main-tained by railroad compa-nies. The only rail crossing that Camrose County shares costs on is the signaled cross-ing that crosses the Bashaw haul road east of Highway 21,

which has an annual budget of about $3,000.

“The railway moved 2,200 cars of grain last year and it could be 2,400 this year,” added Eshpeter. “Add oil and fertilizer and we moved 3,500 cars last year. This all helps the local econ-omy. People want to set up businesses along the line.”

BRR currently has five full and 10 part-time employ-ees. The majority of the grain for the cars come from farms within 10 miles of the tracks. About 151 shareholders use the rail service for shipping grain.

Council accepted the information and will research the matter with Flagstaff County.

Train excursionsThe BRR not only hauls

grain, oil and fertilizer. It offers passenger service as well.

On Farmers’ Day, BRR offered a trip from Heisler to Galahad.

A Garden and Gourmet experience is planned for Aug. 16, on the same weekend as Founders Days in Camrose. The excursion leaves the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park at 10 a.m. and heads to the nature park to board the train that trav-els to Forestburg for garden viewing and a tasty lunch fea-turing home-grown products. Forestburg is a past cham-pion of the Communities in Bloom event. The train leaves from Forestburg at 4:30 p.m. to return to the nature park and passengers then travel back into Camrose by bus.

An Octoberfest train joins the Heisler sausage din-ner event and includes enter-tainment and refreshments. The train runs from Alliance to Heisler.

A magical Santa Daze Christmas Train complete with elves and music is slated for Dec. 15. The train will run from Forestburg to Alliance.

The Valentine romantic adventure is on Feb. 7 with the train travelling from For-estburg to Kelsey to attend the dinner theatre.

The train events are organized by the Friends of the Battle River Railway. For more information contact Shara-Lynn Weller at 780-374-2180, or Muriel Fankha-nel at 780-879-3924.

Marshall presents plan for pollinator packageBy Dan Jensen

Bawlf School Grade 11 student Leah Marshall won $1,000 for her pro-posal to create a pollina-tor package that would be made available to the pub-lic with a persuasive five minute oral presentation in the finals of the Battle River Watershed Alliance Caring for Our Water-sheds Contest at Reyn-olds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin May 23.

Marshall was one of 10 finalists for the con-test, which asked individ-ual students or groups of students to independently, or as a team of no more than four, identify an envi-ronmental concern that affects their watershed and come up with a realis-tic solution to address that concern.

“Her final score was really high,” said Battle River Watershed Alliance education and outreach coordinator Nathalie Olson.

In a written proposal, submitted before the April 3 deadline, Marshall noted that a pollinator package would provide the infor-mation and resources to sustain wild and diverse flower populations and acknowledge the essential aide needed for pollina-tors, which are declining in numbers because of habitat loss, agricultural use, invasive non native species and the decline in flowering plant diver-sity.

“Within the pack-age would be provided a collection of local native wild flowering seeds with overlapping f lowering periods, which could be planted at the volunteer’s desired location,” she said. “With the seeds would

be a brochure outlining the optimum care for the wild vegetation until they take hold and can ensure productivity, as well as information regarding the thoughtful neglect of pre-viously established native pollinators.”

Marshall suggested that the packages be dis-tributed to each Grade 7 class within the Battle River Watershed.

“After analysis to the different learner outcomes of the current school cur-riculum, the seventh grade science course learns about topics that

directly relate with the watershed,” she said.

Marshall feels that as each student learns about the issue it is likely that their youthful inspired enthusiasm can reach the parents.

“Each student who takes home a seed pack-age would also receive a page with references and information of native seeds, bushes and trees. Interested parents might then have the availability to plant seeds in strips or groupings on their farm or acreage and through their kids learn more about the problem.”

Marshall believes that doing the little things here to make a difference where we have some control will aide in the greater issue and perhaps may even be an example for other water-sheds to follow.

“If we can get enough support for this project, as it grows, it can ben-efit more than just those involved. This project can affect homes, schools, the county, and in the great-er scheme of things, the environmental equilibri-um of the world.”

Marshall explained that while bee pollina-tion is responsible for more than $17 billion in increased crop value in North America each year, the seasonal mor-tality rate for bees has increased since 2010 from 38 per cent to 58 per cent. She added that further drops in the bee popula-tion will have accumu-lating drastic effects on effects on food availabil-

Did you know that about one-third of the world’s food crop produc-tion relies on pollination? Perhaps due to this con-nection, the plight of pol-linators (bees in particular) has recently become highly publicized worldwide. Todd Farrell, conservation biolo-gist with the Nature Conser-vancy of Canada (NCC) says that while bees have been the poster child in the media, other pollinators such as but-terflies and moths that are facing similar challenges should not be left out.

“We are just beginning to understand pollinators’ importance in our ecosys-tems and food systems, and their status in the wild,” says Farrell. “Insect diver-

sity is vast and there’s a lot we still don’t know. Build-ing up this knowledge base can help us better manage our lands.”

Farrell says that by conducting targeted sur-veys and contributing to province-wide counts, NCC scientists are able to gather more information on popu-lation sizes, trends and the locations of certain pollina-tor species.

For example, find-ings from one of last year’s moth surveys at an NCC property proved great potential as a core area for provincially and nationally significant moths. While conserva-tion organizations like NCC are making prog-

ress in the field and helping us build a better picture of pollinators on the lands they protect, change can happen right at home.

Here are three ways you can be a champion for our pollinators:

Pollinator friendly plants and wildflowers

Species such as wild bergamot and black-eyed Susan are examples of plants suitable in all areas. However, some plants may only be appropriate for a certain habitat type or cli-matic zone. Use native plant guides to learn about what’s appropriate for your area.

Plants that pollina-tors will love include bee balm, milkweed and other

nectar- and pollen-rich spe-cies. Choosing a variety of plants that flower at differ-ent times of the year helps ensure a steady food supply for our pollinators!

Tip: Once you’ve select-ed your seeds, help them germinate by sealing the seeds in a Ziploc bag with a damp paper towel.

Water and salt licksAccess to fresh, clean

water is essential for pol-linator health. Line a shal-low dish with a few pebbles as landing pads, and voilà: a hydration station for your ladybugs, butterflies, bees and more.

Butterflies also use salt licks to satisfy a need for nutrients and minerals. Make your garden more

inviting by creating a damp area over bare soil mixed with a little sea salt for a DIY salt lick.

Tip: Spot a grounded, exhausted bee straggling about? Help get it back on its feet (or wings rather) by offering a spoon with sugar water.

Nesting havensYou may be surprised

that not all bees live in hives; in fact, of Canada’s 800 native bee species, about 30 percent are soli-tary and live in under-ground burrows, wood tun-nels or other cavities.

Tip: Even without any carpentry skills, you can build a bee condo using wood blocks and hollow stems.

ity and crop yields, as well as the health and sustainability of crops.

“Pollinators are essential for the health of most vegetation in our environment, which in turn makes them neces-sary for a broad range of animals, both live-stock and wildlife,” she said. “Also, any declining health of vegetation will affect the filtration and runoff and the quality of the water gathered and used in the watershed. Therefore any impacts on pollinators will disrupt the equilibrium of the entire ecosystem.”

Marshall suggested the pollinator project is a simple way to give back what we have taken from the environment and gag a growing problem before it grows beyond our reach.

“In taking away the necessities of polli-nators we are in turn unknowingly inf licting the same damage upon ourselves over the long term,” she said. “With modern technological development the world is changing at an ever increasing rate. Since humans are the prima-ry cause of this change it is our responsibility that we don’t harm our-selves and the world we live in whilst we rush into the potential of the future.”

Jaycee Dawbin, from Bashaw School, won $600 for placing fifth with her proposal on phosphate free soap, while Syd-ney Hunter, also from Bashaw School, won $400 for placing fourth for a proposal on pre-venting erosion with bal-sams.

Bawlf Grade 11 student Leah Marshall talks about the pollinator package that would both inform and provide the resources necessary to provide the information and resources to sustain wild and diverse flower populations and acknowledge the essential aide needed for pollinators.

Create a pollinator oasis right at home

to come up with something completely out of the ordi-nary.

Busenius’ 10-foot tall dog wheel pump unveiled at Hay Lakes’ Telegraph Park May 28 will let dogs supply their owners with fresh well water while burning off some extra energy.

“It’s like a hamster wheel only bigger,” said the former scout leader and Hay Lakes resident. “The wheel draws water up from a well when the dog is run-ning inside.”

The wheel is just 18 inches wide, which means that only one dog can fit inside at a time.

“We’ll have to get a dog familiar with how it works,” said Busenius. “Once we do that we will be running it on Sundays or by special appointment.”

Businius got the idea for the dog wheel pump after reading about one that was used more than 60 years ago in the Rosalind area.

“The guy who had it in Rosalind had a border collie,” he said. “He hooked (the wheel) up to a trans-mission so that it could be used to pump water and wash clothes at the same time.”

After having master builders draw up the blue-prints, Busenius went to

Marvin Schultz and Barry Arnett and asked for their help with construction.

Busenius feels the dog

wheel pump is the only one of its kind at any park in the province.

“It’s going to be a real

positive attraction for Hay Lakes Telegraph Park,” he said. “I have a 90 pound golden retriever who would

love to get inside it. I’m going to show it (to the dog) the next time I get the chance.”

By Murray GreenCamrose County is researching the recycling agree-

ment with the City of Camrose.Councillors asked administrator Paul King to review

the wording in a few sections before they approve of the new agreement, at the June 23 meeting.

Discussions have been ongoing with the City since the previous agreement expired in 2012. Recycling has continued on an ad-hoc basis with the County paying as required. The new agreement would set terms and condi-tions and guarantee County residents access to the City recycling facilities at a known cost for the next five years.

“It could cost us $55,000 per year, or costs as defined in the agreement based on percentage of usage. We paid $51,000 per year in the last agreement,” said King.

He said the costs are for operational items only and the City is responsible for capital items, such as a new building.

“We would have to complete a survey of users in order to pay the percentage costs. We haven’t done one (a survey)since 2012,” explained King.

A survey would reveal the exact number of users and it could lower the cost in the future.

Councillor Doug Lyseng wanted clarity in the policy to ensure the County wasn’t on the hook for any infrastruc-ture costs.

“I want it to be clear that we are not including any capital costs at all,” he said.

King indicated that the agreement will be going before the City council prior to the County’s next meeting on July 14.

GRAIN BIN SPECIALTY RESCUE EQUIPMENTCamrose Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Joe Mah, left, accepts a cheque for $2,500 from Cargill Cares committee chair Thomas Mauthe for a piece of grain bin specialty res-cue equipment called The Great Wall of Rescue. Watching the presentation are firefighter Tim Guenther (inside the Great Wall of Rescue) and left to right, back, Captain Carmen Brausen, Captain Warren Rosland, firefighter Cliff Walline, Lieutenant Rob Olson, fire-fighter Laurie Adamson, firefighter Duncan McDougal, and Lieutenant Nathan Yampol-sky. The Great Wall of Rescue was designed to adapt to a multitude of grain entrapment rescue scenarios. The lightweight wall sections are easily maneuvered and can be aligned to form a wall, a tube or irregular shapes, depending on the rescue situation and the number of panels available. The objective is to isolate the patient from the grain by means of building a supporting wall around the patient and permit the removal of grain from around the patient so extrication can proceed.
