16 Pages – August 12, 2014

This annual event is a unique and rewarding way to spend a weekend in the country. On Saturday, August 23, you are invited to explore the first batch of 23 exceptional locations in the

northern zone of Camrose County. Experience plenty of pleasant surprises as you enjoy the tranquility of a self-guided driving excursion. One day later on Sunday, your drive will take you to equally interesting locations in the southern portion of the County. You are guaranteed to experience downhome hospitality

with special activities and scruptious goodies planned for both days.

Another highlight of Prairie Fun Days is the hay bale art you will pass as you complete the route. Clearly, imaginations have been working overtime considering the masterpieces which have been created out of miscellaneous odds and ends and square or round bales of hay, straw and greenfeed. There is more than

pride up for grabs in the Havin’ a Hay Day Bale Art Contest sponsored by Peavey Mart. Some serious prizes for the best work will be won. There is still time to enter!

Parks Day celebrated at Miquelon Lake

The 2nd and 3rd St. Albert Girl Guides took a break from a bird watching assignment to enter the sand castle building contest during Parks Day at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park July 19. The builders were, from left, Isabella Giordano, Amanda Wachniak, MiKenna Smith, Miya Andrich, Laurel Ross and Cassie Johansen.

Two-year-old Violet Taylor learned about a different kind of a cookie: a tree cookie.

Camping kits were on display at the park. Alberta Parks is gathering equipment for making it accessible to everyone.

Park interpreter Morgan Cole and local plant detectives, from left to right, Jaylynn, Annastacia and Devon Krezanoski, and Aurora Westfall used map keys to find clues.

A learning model of how beavers are kept busy explained how and why they make dams at the lake and in other waterways in the area was part of Parks Day July 19.

Aisia and Ethan Eremenko of Sherwood Park watched education officer Erin Sekulick demonstrate how owls spot its prey by turning their head.

Siemens named Donalda principal

Clearview’s superinten-dent of schools John Bailey has announced the appoint-ment of Mark Siemens as principal of Donalda School for the 2014-15 school year.

Siemens worked at Wm. E. Hay Composite High School as a science and mathematics teacher last school year.

After graduating from The University of Leth-bridge, Siemens began his teaching career in 2006 at Bowden Grandview School. The following year he joined the Wm. E. Hay Compos-ite High School staff as a science, math and physical education teacher.

During his teacher career, Mark has made a conscientious effort to cre-ate an engaging classroom for students by incorporat-ing projects, group work, technology and outdoor excursions into his lessons.

Since 2012, he has been the science team leader and has helped develop and run the Science Fair events at Wm. E. Hay. For seven years, he has been a repre-sentative on the Clearview School Division PD commit-tee, assisting in the orga-nization and setting up of divisional PD events.

When Mark is not in the classroom, he can often be found helping with the extra-curricular programs. He has been an assistant football coach for seven years and has been active in planning outdoor educa-tion trips such as skiing, canoeing, hiking, orienteer-ing and camping.

“Mark was selected as the new principal of Don-alda School based on his excellent teaching record and the strength of his interview,” said Bailey.

“Mark’s references were also very strong. We look forward to him joining our administrative team in Clearview and taking over the leadership of Donalda School.”

Siemens said he is thrilled to be joining the Donalda School, working alongside the staff, stu-dents and parents in the role of principal.

“I am looking forward to the new challenge, and am eager to become a part of the school community and the Donalda commu-nity as a whole.”

By Dan JensenIf you haven’t been to

the Kingman Regional School Museum you real-ly don’t know what you’re missing.

One of the true gems of Camrose County, Kingman Regional School Museum takes one back in time with hundreds of impressive and well-maintained artifacts that provide a detailed pic-ture of life on the prairies in the early 20th century.

Hours of operation are 2:00 to 4:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and occasionally Friday during the summer.

“We’re pretty proud of what we have here,” said museum activities coordi-nator and Kingman His-torical Society member Carol Schmidt. “We receive many favourable comments from those who have vis-ited.”

One of the museum’s most interesting and cher-ished artifacts is a large tin impression of the MS Aqui-tania, a Cunard Line ocean liner which was launched on April 21, 1913 and sailed on her maiden voyage to New York in May, 1914. Aquitania was the third in Cunard line’s grand trio of express liners, preceded by the RMS Mauretania and RMS Luisitania, and was the last surviving four-funneled ocean liner. In her 36 years of service, Aqui-tania survived military duty in both world wars and was returned to pas-senger service after each. Its record for the longest service career of any 20th

century express liner stood until 2004, when the Queen Elizabeth 2 became the lon-gest-serving liner.

“There are so many people who come in and tell us that their parents came over to Canada on that ship,” said Schmidt, add-ing it is a real conversation piece. “I don’t know how many offers we have had to buy it.”

The museum also fea-tures old wooden school desks, dolls, and original post office boxes with num-bered locks.

“The kids really enjoy playing in the post office,” said Schmidt.

The Kingman Regional School Museum was origi-nally a schoolhouse that was moved to Kingman in the 1950s.

“It was an industrial arts building and shop all through the 1950s and 1960s, but it was closed in the 1980s and used as a gymnasium and storage area,” said Schmidt.

By the mid 1990s the building was almost ready for demolition.

“The Kingman Histori-cal Society was formed in order to save and develop it,” said Schmidt. “We did a lot of structural things, like adding a new roof, windows and plumbing and applying new paint.”

While the society receives an annual grant for museum operations, it has lost out on the STEP funding that was used to hire a summer student and has been forced to rely more on volunteers.

“We would like to be able to offer better summer hours than we do but with the loss of the STEP grant we just can’t afford that,” said Schmidt.

In recent years, the Kingman Regional School Museum has become a little bit like a community coffee shop.

“We have one or two of the ladies of the society who always come in the mornings to put the cof-fee pot on,” said Schmidt.

The museum has been a popular facility for wedding showers and family gatherings and has hosted many school tours.

“We used to have a whole day where we invited Grades 3 and 4 students here for a whole day of activ-ities with different themes,” said Schmidt. “The schools give us a call whenever they feel they want to fit us into their schedule.”

The museum has also hosted several artists.

“We had an local artist a couple of years ago who set up all his artwork,” said Schmidt. “Another time Lynn Roth came out to do a presentation on the old European way of hooking rugs.”

The Kingman His-torical Society is reaching the point now where it is questioning whether it can afford to keep the museum open all year.

“We would like to do that but with the high cost of gas I don’t know how we can keep paying the bills,” said Schmidt.

Kingman museum offers slice of prairie history

Carol Schmidt’s favourite artifact is a framed impression of the MS Aquitania, a Cunard Line ocean liner which was launched on April 21, 1913, and sailed on her maiden voyage to New York City in May, 1914.

The Kingman Regional School Museum was originally a schoolhouse that was moved to Kingman in the 1950s. It was almost ready for demolition when the Kingman Histori-cal Society stepped in to save and develop it.

your food this summer.The Alberta Open Farm

Days will kick off with a com-munity breakfast on Sunday, Aug. 24 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Camrose Regional Exhibi-tion (CRE).

You can join the rural com-munity for breakfast that fea-tures locally sourced products from the Camrose and the sur-rounding area.

Tickets will be needed for this event. They are available at the CRE. Tickets can be pre-ordered by phone. There will be no cost for children under three.

“I hope Albertans will get out and take the opportunity to learn more about our province’s wonderful food and meet its extraordinary producers. What better time of year to explore the country and see Alberta farms at their very best?” asked Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agri-culture and Rural Development and local MLA.

The province has asked rural residents across the prov-ince to swing their gates open for city dwellers, neighbours and friends.

“From farm visits for the whole family, to one-of-a-kind culinary experiences for food-ies, Open Farm Days is a great reason for a summer road trip. There’s no better way for Alber-tans to experience our agricul-tural heritage and immense rural landscapes. This is a tre-mendous opportunity to show-case the farm as a whole new tourism destination,” said Rich-ard Starke, Minister of Tour-ism, Parks and Recreation.

“Ag for Life is a leader in supporting agricultural educa-tion programming and we’re pleased again this year to be the major funder for Open Farm Days. We hear far too often how little our children really know about where their food comes from. Open Farm Days is a terrific opportunity for them and their families to learn

Examine hail damage

RCMP lay stolen property chargesOn July 15, Kil-

lam/Forestburg RCMP Detachment received a call for service regard-ing a black Kenworth picker truck in the area of Sedgewick. The vehicle and driver are alleged to

have been involved in the theft of a large value of oilfield pipe.

K i l lam / Forestburg RCMP members located the vehicle. A 53-year-old Leduc County man now faces mul-tiple charges of theft over

$5,000, possession of break-in instruments and failing to comply with release con-ditions.

The accused was sched-uled to appear in Killam Provincial Court on Aug. 5

From Agri-News“We’re getting calls at the

Ag-Info Centre from producers who have lost their crop to hail and want to know when they should be cutting what’s left for silage or green feed,” said Barry Yaremcio, Alberta Agri-culture and Rural Develop-ment, Stettler. “The answer to this question largely depends on how much the crop was fer-tilized before the storm.”

Annual crops, such as canola and wheat, are heav-ily fertilized with nitrogen to optimize yield. At the current stage of development, a lot of

this nitrogen still remains in the soil. After a hail storm, plants cannot convert this nitrate into protein as effi-ciently as before. As such, the nitrate levels increase, peak-ing about four days after the storm. If the plants recover, their nitrate levels are back to normal after about two weeks.

“For these fertilized crops, you want to cut them within a day or two of the storm before the nitrate levels rise,” said Yaremcio.

For further information, call the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

From Agri-NewsAlberta Minister of

Agriculture and Rural Development Verlyn Olson issued the following state-ment in response to regu-lations announced by the federal government to implement the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act.

“The federal regula-tions, which take effect today, are another impor-tant step in the ongoing efforts to strengthen Can-ada’s transportation net-work.

“We are pleased that the regulations incorporate recommendations made by Alberta to add clarity to the legislation and to help ensure there is balanced accountability and greater responsiveness to custom-ers in Canada’s rail freight industry.

“We also welcome the enhanced authority for the Canadian Grain Commis-sion to provide additional protection for producers as part of their delivery con-tracts with grain compa-nies.

“However, we know there is still more work that needs to be done. While grain movement has improved, it will still be months before the backlog on the prairies has been fully addressed, and anoth-er harvest is just around the corner.

“It is imperative that we continue to aggressively move forward with long-term solutions that will fur-ther enhance our ability to deliver all goods to market in a safe, timely and effi-cient manner. A dependable transportation system is essential to Canada’s export-driven economy, and the sys-tem must have the capacity to meet the long-term needs of a wide range of industries and commodity groups.

“Alberta will continue to advocate on behalf of our export industries and Albertans to ensure the best interests of all are con-sidered.

“The federal review of the Canada Transporta-tion Act is another crucial opportunity to identify addi-tional improvements and put measures in place that better position our trans-portation network to keep pace with the demands of our growing economy.

“We strongly encourage representatives from all commodity groups and seg-ments of the supply chain to participate in the review process.”

County allocates 2014 MSI fundingBy Murray Green

Camrose County received the go-ahead to submit a 2014 MSI operat-ing funding application to Alberta Municipal Affairs for $493,825.

Funds were allocated: $17,920 to the second phase assessment of the Hay Lakes Grader Shed; $105,443 for the completion to the Coun-ty complex HVAC (venti-lation and air condition-ing) upgrades; $31,500 for library funding for Cam-rose, Bawlf, Bashaw, Hay Lakes and Edberg; $64,900 for council chamber hard-ware upgrades; $35,100 for additional module CityWide Works and $238,960 for road maintenance.

“MSI operating car-ry forward from 2013 was $270,084 of which $97,644 was allotted for the office upgrade and unexpended in 2013, and $168,376 was

added from New Norway and interest earned,” said county administrator Paul King.

The 2014 MSI operat-ing grant is $233,084 library funding, Camrose $18,963, Bashaw $3,654, Bawlf $3,654, Hay Lakes $3,654 and Edberg $1,575.

Council chambers upgrades to include new microphones, (individual mini), five high HD (high definition) screens, HD pro-jector, hardware for integra-tion and control.

The new monitors in the council chambers would allow all councillors to see screens without turning to view the side wall or pull down screen.

CityWide Works is a web based, work order/work flow application designed to enable public works depart-ments to prioritize, schedule and track projects.

17 branchesto serve you

www.visioncu.ca

Now, realistically, which ‘big bank’ offers you banking this appealing?

Add in awesome customer service, a commitment to small communities, a 100% guarantee on all deposits and local decision-makers and it’s obvious:

It really pays to be a member!

And, now, for the best part of all…Each year Vision’s Board of Directors declares a General Cash

Payout based on the corporation profi tability. In recent years, our members have received a wonderful bonus –

a cheque in the amount of 10% of whatever has accumulated in their common share account. John’s bonus – a cheque for $330.72!

John, a new member, joined Vision Credit Union (then called Battle River Credit Union) in 2011. His membership cost just $1.00.

His mortgage is $212,000at 6% interest.

An equity allocation of 26%meant his bonus for being a

member was: $12,720 x 26% = $3,307.20.$3,307.20 was deposited into his Common Share Account.

This meanthe paid $12,720

in interestlast year.
