Buckin’ inBackyardevent back
King promoted to County administrator
By Murray GreenThe annual Buckin’ in
the Backyard event was granted a special events permit for a bull riding event on May 30.
Protective Services manager Mike Kuzio pre-sented a request for a special event permit at the regular May 13 council meeting.
“I recommend that Camrose County council grant a special event licence to Buckin’ in the Backyard, a bull riding event proposed to be held on May 30 and that the fee for the permit be set at $100,” said Kuzio.
Janet Patriquin lives at NE 14-49-22 (49278-Range Road 221) in the very north west portion of Camrose County approximately a half mile to Leduc County border.
“Patriquin has rodeo grounds on her property and has held rodeos and bull rid-ing events for the past few years at this location,” stated Kuzio. “Depending on the weather, approximately 200 people will attend the event which has a beer gardens, food facilities, public wash-rooms, etc; basically every-thing one would expect at an event of this nature. Patri-quin has met all the require-ments expected to receive the special events permit and to date there has never been an issue with the host-ing of this event.”
Since this is a good event for the County, those in attendance and rodeo fans councillors passed the motion.
The site, council was told, will have medical ser-vices available.
By Murray GreenAssistant administra-
tor Paul King was named the new chief administrative officer for Camrose County May 9.
Council ratified the move at the regular meeting on May 13.
Paul has served Camrose County for many years as the agricultural fieldman, and assumed the assistant administrator position in December, 2012.
“We welcome him to serve the County as CAO for many years. He brings with him a tremendous amount of experience in municipal gov-
ernment and is very familiar with the County operation,” said Reeve Don Gregorwich. “We welcome him and look forward to working with him in his new position.”
Paul’s years of service as agricultural fieldman has made him familiar with the business within the County and with many of its resi-dents.
“I’m thankful for the opportunity and I’m excited,” said Paul.
Council welcomed Paul to his new position for the betterment of the residents of Camrose County.

ORThe Battle River Community Foundation has granted
$2,750 to the Battle River Watershed Alliance to assist with ongoing riparian restoration work at the Ferry Point reach of the Battle River. The funds will be used to reassess the ripar-ian areas along this portion the Battle River.
“This grant is gratefully accepted” says Nathalie Stanley, Project Coordinator, “because landowner interest in the proj-ect is greater than we anticipated”.
The Battle River Community Foundation sponsored the first riparian assessment of this reach of the Battle River ten years ago as one of its first environmental endowment grants.
The grant was made possible by combining funding from eight endowment funds established to support environ-mental projects in the region. The amount available for this project came from the Agricore United Fund, the Baumle Farms Fund for the Environment, the Ken and Iris Drever 50th Anniversary Fund, the Grattidge Family Fund, the Eric and Gunvor Mygind Fund, the Samm Family Fund, the Students for a Sustainable Environment Fund and the Larry and Esther Williams Fund.
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to sup-port projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of indi-vidual donors and organizations that have created endow-ment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.
Grant to Watershed Alliance
Battle River Community Foundation board member David Ofrim presents a cheque for $2,750 to Nathalie Stanley, proj-ect coordinator for the Battle River Watershed Alliance and David Samm, general manager for the Alliance.

By Murray GreenJody and Kevin Heinz
approached Camrose County council on May 13 to implement a noise bylaw to limit the sounds coming from a nearby resident.
The sounds are coming from a neighbour who allows remote control aircraft to fly from dusk to dawn any day of the week.
Councillors moved to refer the request to admin-istration to research other bylaws that restrict noises created by recreational/hobby activities.
A recommendation will be brought back at a later council meeting
The Heinz family, located near the Hay Lakes area, first sent a letter dated Oct. 17, 2013 with concerns sur-rounding the flying of remote control (RC) aircraft from NE-23-49-21-W4.
Jody asked that the Louden family follow similar rules laid down by the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC).
They include not oper-ating between 11 p.m and 7 a.m. You must not allow camping on site unless a spe-cial events license has been obtained. You must not exceed established decibel levels. No additional staff or additional signage without a permit are allowed. Follow the MAAC regulations for flying and fol-low all other provincial and federal regulations.
In addition to requiring a development permit the County has notified Mr. Loud-en that on those occasions when camping is occurring he will be required to obtain a special events license.
“This noise bylaw request stems from a continuing issue of excessive and recurring noise created from the flying of large scale radio controlled aircraft from NE 23-49-21-W4 located approxi-mately one and a half miles from our residence,” explained Jody. “The noise created from these aircraft carries to our property and has affected how we enjoy
our time outside on our property. It can occur for several (up to 10) hours per day and on any day of the week and often on subsequent days over weekends.”
She understood that council may have reservations about implementing a noise bylaw, as it may restrict cer-tain agricultural activities.
“Having grown up on farm properties within Camrose County for the large majority of our lives, we understand that we live in an agricultural area where smells, sounds and sights related to the practice of farming are going to occur and we accept this as part of living in rural Alberta,” Jody continued. “We are asking that excessive and recurring noises from rec-reational/hobby activities be restricted in order to protect the right of county residents to comfortably enjoy their property and life on their property.”
County administrator
Paul King reported that sev-eral municipalities in central Alberta have noise and nui-sance by-laws in place which restrict noise stemming from recreational activities while protecting rights of agricul-tural producers to continue their day to day operations. Examples include County of Strathcona, Beaver County, and County of Wetaskiwin.
Dan Olsen, who operates aircraft on the property in question said he keeps the aircraft under 94 decibels and often modifies the planes to bring them down to the 70 decibel level.
“We ask you to put your-self in our shoes. Our qual-ity of life has been negatively impacted by this situation,” stated Jody.
The matter will be brought back to a latter coun-cil meeting.

Farmers and ranch-ers across the province can showcase how they produce quality food by inviting their urban neighbours for a visit during Open Farm Days.
The application deadline for host farms is June 30.
“Rural Alberta has lots of great stories to tell and being a host farm for Open Farm Days is a great way to tell it,” said Dr. Rich-ard Starke, Minister, Tour-ism, Parks and Recreation. “Open Farm Days is an ag-tourism event that dem-onstrates one way rural Alberta can grow and ben-efit from tourism in their communities.”
“Alberta has some of the best and most innovative producers and agriculture-based businesses in the world,” said Verlyn Olson, Minister, Agriculture and Rural Development. “Open Farm Days is a tremendous opportunity for our agricul-ture community to showcase the hard work they do to ensure safe and delicious food gets delivered from the farm gate to the dinner plate every day, and to help Albertans see why agricul-ture is so important to our provincial economy.”
“Running a dairy farm is rewarding work and we are happy to show visitors what we do,” said Arjan de Goeij, co-owner, Breevliet Ltd. “We hope other farms join us as hosts in Open Farm Days this year.”
Breevliet Ltd, a dairy farm in Millet, is participat-ing for the first time this year and is getting support for their open house from Alberta Milk.
“Alberta Milk is proud to support our producers in opening their gates for Alberta Open Farm Days,” said Albert Kamps, sec-ond vice chairman, Alberta Milk.
The second annual Alberta Open Farm Days runs from August 23 to 24, and offers visitors a fun and educational look at rural life. The event offers farm-to-table culinary events on the Saturday and free open houses at farms across the province on Sunday.
Alberta Open Farm Days 2013 included 41 host farms and 13 culinary events, saw over 3,000 vis-its, and resulted in on-farm sales totalling over $20,000.
Alberta Open Farms Days is led by Agriculture for Life in partnership with Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation, Alberta Agri-culture and Rural Develop-ment, Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies, Alberta Culinary Tourism Alliance, and Travel Alber-ta.

The COUNTRY BOOSTER, May 20, 2014 – Page 10
By Dan JensenThe Daysland and Dis-
trict Handivan Society’s fundraising efforts for a new handivan received a major boost last week in the form of a $5,000 donation from the Camrose and District Fam-ily Thrift Shop.
“This is very much appreciated,” said Daysland and District Handivan Soci-ety chair June Rittamer. “We need about $75,000 to $80,000 to buy a new van and this gets us about three quarters of the way there.”
The Daysland and Dis-trict Handivan Society has been using the same handi-van since it was formed 15 years ago.
“It is in pretty good shape still and has seatbelts but you can’t adjust the heat and things like that,” said Handivan Society charter board member Ernestine Ferris.
Rittamer said the Daysland handivan has been well-used over the years.
“It has been good for tak-ing people short distances but as it gets older there are going to be things that start to go wrong.”
The handivan has a seating capacity of 12 to fourteen people, including two in wheelchairs.
“A lot of the seniors use it for trips into down-town Daysland or special events in the area like the recent widows conference in Strome,” said Ferris. “The drop-in centre has used it to go to see the Christmas lights in Edmonton and things like that.”
The Daysland and District Handivan Society hasn’t received many grants for the new handivan so has had to rely mostly on fundraising.
“We hold a St. Patrick’s Day supper every year which brings in quite a bit
and we were able to work at a casino in Red Deer last August,” said Rittamer. “One casino gives you about $25,000 but those are down to about one every three years. We’re going to rent some tables at the flea mar-ket that is held at the local arena where we hope to sell 50/50 tickets.”
Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop was happy to support the handi-van society request for fund-ing.
“The society is in the area that we serve and the people from the area sup-port us by bringing dona-tions of clothing and oth-er items,” said thrift shop board member Ed Rosta-ing. “We are pleased to help
them in whatever way that we can.”
The donation brings the Camrose and District Fam-ily Thrift Shop closer to the $2 million mark in terms of total donations to commu-nity groups.
“We are hoping to get there by the end of year or the first part of next year, said thrift shop president Gloria Wimmer.
Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop opened its doors in November of 1967 for just a few days every week in a small space at 4913-49 Street.
“The purpose of the shop was, and still is, to provide area residents with a place to bring unneeded item, to provide them with
a place to buy needed items at reasonable prices, to give back to the community and area through donations, and in some cases assist with personal needs,” said Wimmer. “Each request for assistance is dealt with on its own merit by the board of directors of the shop.”
In its first full year of operation, Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop made donations totalling $1,299. The $1 million mark in donations was reached in 2002. In 2013, donations to the community and area totalled $41,654.
Many things have changed at the thrift shop over the years, not the least of which is the attitude peo-ple have towards it.
“It used to be that when you went to the thrift shop you didn’t want people to know,” said thrift shop past president LaRue Cullum. “Now the people are proud of their bargains.”
Thrift shop board mem-bers believe the thrift shop will continue to play an important role in the future in meeting the needs of those who are less fortunate than others.
“We are very apprecia-tive of those who have sup-ported us over the years,” said Wimmer.
The Camrose and Dis-trict Family Thrift Shop, located at 5006-50 Avenue, Camrose, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thrift Shop grants $5,000 to Daysland Handivan Society
Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop board member Ed Rostaing presents a cheque for $5,000 to Daysland and Dis-trict Handivan Society charter board member Ernestine Ferris and board chair June Rittamer.
From Agri-NewsYou know your farm like
the back of your hand; but the same can’t always be said for workers, especially if they are young, new or return-ing after a time away. And, that can put them at risk of injury. An orientation pro-gram can help convey details such as hazards on the farm to them in a comprehensive and consistent way. Adopt a Let’s Talk About It! attitude.
Start with the basics. Review harassment and working alone policies, basic safety rules, and restrictions on smoking, drug and alcohol use. Go over standard oper-ating procedures and other farm-specific practices and procedures such as livestock handling, farm vehicle usage, equipment servicing and safe zones where children or pedestrians may be present.
Talk about specific haz-ards associated with the farm operation. Let workers
know how they will learn about safety issues, how they can bring concerns to management and how often safety meetings will be held. Other things to have open conversation about include: who will conduct inspections, how incidents handled and reported, and who should be notified for each specific situ-ation.
Go over personal pro-tective equipment (PPE) requirements and expecta-tions and provide training on proper use, care and mainte-nance. PPE can include safe footwear, respiratory, hear-ing, or other forms of protec-tion that needs to be worn. Share emergency contacts, locations of emergency equip-ment such as first aid kits, extinguishers, eye wash sta-tions, muster points, rescue plans and emergency respon-sibilities with all new work-ers. Emergency response protocols should be a critical
component of your orienta-tion program.
When it comes to orien-tation, young workers (16 to 18 year olds) need the most support. They often tend to generalize their skills from one task to another, feel they are immortal and “can’t be hurt,” and believe they pos-sess the size and strength to overcome any problem. Make sure to train, supervise and coach young workers in a way that matches the person with suitable job tasks.
New workers need a dif-ferent approach with a focus of on-the-job training. Don’t assume that they will know how to do something on the farm, even if they have per-formed a similar task at another operation. Every farm is different, so review all relevant points with new workers while they are actu-ally doing a specific job task. Evaluate their capability to perform the work according
to your expectations. Once workers have proven that they can perform the job com-petently and safely, “sign off” on their performance. Then keep up supervision to con-firm that they continue to perform the job tasks correct-ly and safely.
Returning workers need time to review and re-familiarize themselves with the operation, so take the time to renew and review job requirements and the safety procedures on the farm.
Revisit core training requirements with workers returning to the workplace after an extended period away to refresh their memo-ry and renew their skills.
When workers are new, young or returning after a prolonged absence, it is very important to exercise due dil-igence and ensure they are aware of your policies and procedures, know what to do
in an emergency, understand how to identify and report hazards, and that they are comfortable performing their job tasks safely. With a little bit of extra time for review and retraining, you can help keep your workers safe and productive.
Information in this arti-cle was provided by Glen Bla-hey, Canadian Agricultural Safety Association in support of the 2014 Let’s Talk About It! campaign, which encour-ages farmers to engage in conversations about safety. CASW is brought to you by the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, with support from Farm Credit Canada, Ag for Life, Alberta Agri-culture and Rural Develop-ment, CHS, Imperial Oil, Pioneer Hi-Bred Limited, and Growing Forward 2, a federal-provincial-territorial agreement.

Improve your bottom line to succeed with cow-calf operationsFrom Agri-News
Now that the cow-calf business seems to be on the upswing, an Alberta Agri-culture and Rural Develop-ment (ARD) specialist has some suggestions where cow-calf operators can invest to help improve their bottom line.
“Improving working capital, and investing in pro-ductive assets, herd health and yourself can all bring excellent returns,” says Rick Dehod, agriculture farm financial specialist, ARD, Edmonton.
“Herd health is an important part of the ongo-ing operations. Sometimes, when funds were tight, a vaccination protocol may not have been followed as this expense was perhaps thought of as not critical. Not following a herd health protocol often leads to poor financial performance due to disease and lack of crea-ture comfort. This just com-pounds cash flow problems and, ultimately, the viability of the operation.”
Dehod also advocates improving working capital.
Bring account payables current or to within 15 to 30 days. Trade creditors have helped you through the tough times and you will need them again when mar-gins tighten.
Pay down some small loans to improve accessible working capital into the future.
Bring any operating loan down to within its mar-gin limit.
Keep in mind that an acceptable current ratio should be greater than 2 (current assets/current lia-bilities).
Put some money away for those “lean” periods.
“Do projections and com-pare those monthly projec-tions to actual returns and costs,” says Dehod. “This will enable immediate identifica-tion of problems. Production returns and costs are time critical due to the seasonal-ity of the business. By doing a cash flow projection, you can plot out your sales and your feed requirements. You can see the months when your margins are posi-tive and will have funds to invest or reduce your finan-cial commitments. By com-paring your projections to actual, you can make those adjustments to continue to manage a positive margin.
“Talk to your banker early to work together on any issues. Raising beef is a capital intensive busi-ness. You need access to your operating credit and trade creditors. As you go through your operating and financing plans for 2014, it is a good time to review
2013, and project income and expenses for 2014. A year-end net worth state-ment is another important document to complete. Hav-ing this information in-hand is helpful when talking to a lender regarding your oper-ating plan, your operating loan and your financing intentions regarding equip-ment upgrading and main-tenance. A lender wants to know the financial health of the farm business. They will look at a few key ratios to see if an operation is in good financial shape and whether it can afford more debt and ultimately more risk.”
Investing in productive assets is another strategy Dehod recommends.
Carefully evaluate investment in depreciating assets like pickups and new equipment. Is this the best use of your capital?
How old is your cow herd? Is it time to keep back some heifers, and cull some older less productive cows from the herd?
Lock in some positive margins – you don’t go broke taking a profit.
Feed costs – Consider the alternatives to forward price feed to lock in your feed purchase prices.
“Become familiar with the Cattle Price Insur-ance Program and how you can protect the down side of your operating margin,” says Dehod. “Choosing an insured price provides a ‘floor’ price that acts as pro-tection against the market being lower than the insured price for the month that the insurance is purchased for. If the market goes above the insured price, producers can still take advantage of the upside and sell you calves for that higher price.”
Agri-Stability is another important risk tool to man-age the next time margins move to break even or nega-tive.
Last, but not least, Dehod recommends invest-ing in yourself.
“Strong business man-agement skills will enhance your decision-making skills, and help give you the com-petitive edge. You are a professional and all profes-sionals embrace life-long learning to stay at the top of their game. Take a look at the Growing Forward 2 Business Opportunity Pro-gram, and assess whether it will assist you in accessing resources for your business planning.”
