New large letter signage being developed for Viking Carena

Patricia Harcourt Editor
Viking's Economic Development Officer Doug Lefsrud is excited about the sign lettering that will soon turn the Viking Carena Complex into a landmark in the night sky. The giant sign will be a life size replica of the sign on the original Carena, which burned down in July 2005. The Carena received its name as the result of car raffles held to raise funds for the building, which opened July 9, 1952, with the help of famous NHL hockey announcer Foster Hewitt. When the new arena was built, it was decided the Carena name would stay as a way of keeping the historical continuity going on the town's hockey legacy. After all, the burned arena had produced the Sutter family's legendary NHL run, making Viking memorable in the minds of many fans around the world. The new Carena was built in the eastern side of town, but there has been no sign for it put up to date. The new council is changing all that. Red lettering six feet high will be placed at the top of the front of the building mid-way as it arches below the roof. Lefsrud said the town is deliberately trying to make the sign as close to the original Carena sign as possible. The sign is being constructed by Blanchett Neon of Edmonton. The sign will be internally illuminated by LED lighting that Lefsrud says will be seen from the highway. There will be rails for mounting the letters to the existing building, and painted to match the building's corrugated metal facade. Lefsrud hopes this will help the people coming to visit the facility a way to quickly identify it if driving past or looking for the building from a distance, especially at night. The original Carena sign can still be seen just south of the Medical Clinic, in the middle of town, very close to the spot where the building burned. It has been preserved for posterity along with three murals depicting the history of hockey in Viking. Once the sign is in place at the new Carena site, Lefsrud wants to take a photo of council standing on the roof right behind to officially mark the occasion. Hopefully, this takes place in the next month or two.
Blanchett Neon's design of how the new individual illuminated SM formed letters mounted to raceways would look when installed on the Viking Carena Complex. The letters are 6 ft. high and will be internally illuminated by LED lights.
The original Carena had similar red lettering

Viking Elks repair foot bridge at Golf Course
Members of the Viking Elks Club No. 83 were busy replacing the planking on the top of the foot bridge at the Viking Golf Course last week. The weather cooperated beautifully with sunny conditions and cooler temperatures for the work of first removing the old planking, which Elk Garry Brandt said were in bad shape. Then the new wood pieces were cut to fit the width of the bridge. The boards, which were also donated by the Elks, along with the labour, were fitted neatly together to form the new walkway over the bridge at the course. PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTOS

Opinion There is something severely wrong with Canada’s election process when the incumbent Prime Minister and his party can start their unofficial re-election campaign months before actually declaring the election - and do it with our tax money instead of their own party money. This isn’t just unique to the Liberal Party, former PM Stephen Harper’s Conservatives made 604 announcements worth $1.4 billion in the month prior to calling the 2015 election. However, comparing Harper giveaways to Trudeau is like trying to equate the little leagues to Major League Baseball. Last week alone the Trudeau Liberals made 330 spending commitments worth $2.85 billion, doubling Stephen Harper’s whole pre-election promises in a single week. The week prior to that, Liberal MPs made 595 commitments worth $4.9 billion. To sum it up, the Liberal government had, in the two weeks prior to Aug. 25, committed to 925 projects worth $7.75 billion if they are re-elected. In other words in half the time frame, they have committed 550 percent more money than the whole Harper promise campaign and Trudeau still has until Sept. 15 to call the election. At the risk of being redundant, it is pretty obvious that the shine is off Trudeau’s “sunny ways.” People don’t have to think back far to the PM’s international embarrassments like playing Mr. Dress-up in India, conflicts with US President Trump, and clashes with China, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia. His real issues though, may have began when after hiring women and minorities as part of a plan to have a gender-balanced multi-cultural cabinet, some of those same ministers have now resigned because of the very same Prime Minister who originally hired them. Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould, Trudeau’s highest ranking aboriginal female minister quit, stating that the PM was pressuring her to reduce criminal charges against Quebec-based SNC-Lavalin - an engineering firm with global political connections. Several others have since quit, including the former Attorney General’s friend and cabinet minister Jane Philpott. Yet despite all of PM Trudeau’s bunglings, his pre-election commitments mostly in Ontario, Quebec, and BC seem to have secured his position as the favourite to being re-elected in the October federal elections. Those provinces hold 241 of the country’s 338 seats in Parliament and, according to recent studies, Trudeau is leading in Ontario by 12 percentage points and has even moved in front in Quebec. British Columbia, which elected 17 Liberals in 2015 has also been a target of Trudeau promises. Since July 1, the Trudeau Liberals have made 59 separate BC spending announcements worth $2.1 billion or well over $30 million per day just in BC. Although Canadian provinces have moved to Conservative politics in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, PEI, Nova Scotia, and even Quebec, it may still be hard to hold off Trudeau’s re-election bid. He earned 137 seats in Quebec, Ontario, and BC in 2015, leaving only 32 seats needed for a majority throughout the rest of the country if he can just retain. With the amount of our money he is spending on those provinces, he may well have bribed his way back for a chance at a second term. KERRY ANDERSON
Articles written by Peter McArthur based on historical knowledge gleaned over many years. We appear to have an ethics problem filtering down from the highest levels of government in our beloved Canada. It's hard to listen to the news coming out of the nation's highest ranks when they are passing legislation simply for the purpose of subverting democracy. Did I hear it right? The prime minister causes an omnibus bill to be passed to prevent one of our loyal and well paid employees from providing that person's testimony at an ethics hearing. Is it not common sense that we the public are paying that employee, who is working for us by way of being a public employee. And if that employee is called upon, through the proper legal means to give testimony concerning any aspect of information relative to the employee's work undertaken for us (the public of Canada), then who does this one elected person named Trudeau think he is to thwart that person's testimony by use of an omnibus bill requiring the support of the federal cabinet by way of vote. It's bad enough that Justin Trudeau himself has stepped so far out of line; but, surely to goodness, there ought to be enough common sense to prevent the

entire respect of the federal cabinet dropping off a cliff into the pit of the nation's sewer with him. That whole report of such improper use of the nation's highest office stinks rotten! Pardon my language but it is hard to watch this kind of throttling of the ethics commissioner. And we'll see more of it. An interesting blip on the news reminds us that the companies who have been standing by to build the Trans Mountain Pipeline have been given 30 days to prepare to start. Common sense tells us they have been waiting for years. These pipeline workers are insulted by this 30 day notice when, in fact, 48 hours would get them moving. But the 30 day notice is in fact another 30 day delay of the start. In 1956, I went to work on a 69mile pipeline being strung from Medicine Hat to Etzikom, Alberta. This was a 10-inch pipeline and the job was completed in 29 days! It is hard for me to understand this further 30 day delay. Common sense indicates once again that there is no rush to get Alberta oil flowing in that pipeline and it gives another sad look at the likely intentions of young Trudeau. Has he not been around long enough to know winter is coming and we do live in Canada.

Daycare committee taking wait-and-see approach Patricia Harcourt Editor
With research indicating a definite need for daycare services in Viking, a committee formed for that reason is waiting to see if a private developer is stepping forward to fill the gap. Viking Council formed a daycare advisory committee last January composed of councillors Judy Acres, Debbie O'TooleBalaban, and Laurel Weisgerber (acting chair).
Since then, the committee has conducted a survey and held a fundraising Mother's Day breakfast this past spring. And, although the survey results indicate that there is a need for daycare, the committee is not proceeding pending the outcome of a private initiative on that front. The survey questions started by asking if there were concerns about the availability of childcare currently or in the future, and out of 62 responses 56 said there were (92.32 per
cent). Survey respondents were asked to state how many children and their ages require childcare, and 59 out of 65 answered. These statistics were not available. When asked how often childcare is required, 57 out of 65 replied with 18 (31.58 per cent) saying full time (5 days a week); 27 (47.37 per cent) stating part time (2-4 times per week); 4 (7.02 per cent) stating before and after school, and on holidays; and 8 (14.04 per

cent) stating childcare was needed occasionally. Of the 59 respondents, 19 (32.2 per cent) stated they were getting childcare in another community but would prefer to have their childcare needs filled in Viking. There were 40 (67.8 per cent) stating they are not having to go elsewhere for childcare. Two-thirds (68.97 per cent) of respondents, or 40 out of 58, stated that a lack of childcare was preventing them from

going to work. Doug Lefsrud, the town's economic development officer, stated last Friday that the latest development on this issue is that a private citizen could be filling the gap. "Because an individual has purchased the old drug store for the purpose of developing a daycare here in Viking, the committee
has become a little disjointed," he said. After forming last January, they did a survey and gathered community stats and input, and had preliminary conversations on how to get started. "But (they) are now waiting, just like everyone else, to see what the fellow who purchased the building is going to do next."

Fly-In held despite rainy weather The Fly-in at the Viking Airport was planned as "weather permitting" and the cold, wind, and rain did prevent some of the activity from proceeding on the weekend. Organizer Hans Roeben confirmed that rain on Saturday kept the powered parachutes and paragliders on the ground. "That was not the best," he said, adding, “But it's Mother Nature, what can you do?" The next day, however, he said "a bunch of people flew on Sunday," although it was windy. In all, 18 pilots and their machines participated in the Sept. 1-3 event. Roeben is shown here taking people up for introductory rides on Sunday afternoon in his yellow powered parachute. As for the weather, "maybe next year it will be better," he said. "You don't give up."

Drainage issues discussed at latest meeting Patricia Harcourt Drainage issues for several landowners in Division 3 were discussed with Beaver County Council at the regular meeting Aug. 21. Bob Bonham spoke on the problems, and said the ditch in Range Road 181 needed to be cleaned out so the water moves better. Bonham said the county should be doing something to help out the landowners in the area. The landowners’ submission stated that the culverts on R.R. 181 are too small and two approaches need to be removed. The remaining culverts in approaches need to be larger, or have two culverts in each approach to improve water flow. Also, Beaver County needs to clean out the ditch along R.R. 181 to move the water better. Also recommended was diverting water directly from the east side of R.R. 181 to go under Twp. Rd. 504, (as) there are too many ways for the water to move and this slows it down. “I’ve been doing all the work so far but it’s all been at my cost,” Bonham said. “I am not taking anymore water on 181.” The submission also said that Ducks Unlimited needs to lower the water level on some of its dams, and the county should allow the county trapper to trap beavers more often, not just when a problem occurs. They said that a water backup on one landowner’s place has been there for three or four years. The landowner blamed the beavers: “I’ve been there 61 years and can’t remember (the last time it was cleared out).” Another man said if they hadn’t removed beavers themselves the water would be backed up more. “We’ve done the work…all the way down the line,” said Bonham. The county, as per its policy, will not go onto private land to deal with beaver there if the resulting water backup doesn’t affect county infrastructure. “We couldn’t go on private land and the county couldn’t either,” said Bonham, adding: “We got permission from the landowner, went in and knocked the beavers out.” “Which protected county infrastructure,” added Division 3 Councillor and Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec. “It’s not just for the benefit of us,” said Bonham. “It’s for the benefit of everybody down the line.”
“You have planted a seed,” said Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2). “We won’t put it on the back burner.” He also explained that the county was limited in what can be done regarding drainage issues as waterways fall under Alberta Environment, “except in the ditches, the county can do something.” Hrabec said he was glad the delegation identified concerns and solutions, adding: “We need to work together to try and get this fixed.” Collaboration Frameworks Approved Beaver County Council passed a motion by Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook to approve inter municipal collaboration framework (ICF) agreements with the Town of Tofield for road maintenance, road construction (template), and pest control. The ICFs with neighbouring jurisdictions are required by the Municipal Government Act. “The county has been working with each of the urban municipalities in the region for the past year to develop these frameworks,” stated Assistant CAO Margaret Jones, in her report to council. “It’s an exciting day,” said Smook. “We have to have all these ICFs in place.” Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) noted that the county “is getting traction on the ICFs and we are moving ahead.” He thanked Tofield “for taking the lead on this.” Road Closure Request Council passed a motion to close Road Plan 842 2169 in the Hamlet of Bruce as per a resident request. The undeveloped lane is located west of the Bruce Sports and Stampede Association near Fourth Avenue and Queen Street. Public Works had no concerns with the closure of the road allowance as the road is no longer used for public travel. The application must now be referred to Alberta Transportation for approval. Bridge Tender Awarded Council awarded the contract for the replacement of Bridge File 08121 (Twp. Rd. 494 west of Hwy. 857) to Lafarge Canada Inc. in the amount of $670,000 plus 10 per cent contingency ($67,000). This is a single span bridge deemed to be a priority for replacement in 2018 in the rural road study. Property Tax Sale A tax sale was held July 11 on one property, Plan 4834 W, Block 9, Lots 18 & 19. Assistant CAO Margaret Jones said the county could acquire the property and sell or lease it. But as
this property is occupied a court order would be required to remove the occupant. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said he was “against he county acquiring the property,” and wanted to “revisit the asking price.” Council passed a motion not to acquire the property at this time, and directed administration to try and work out an arrears payment plan with the landowner. The reserve bid price will also be reviewed. Auditors Appointed Council approved the appointment of MNP LLP as Beaver County’s auditors for the 2019 to 2021 financial audits for annual audit fees of $29,800, $30,500, and $31,400, respectively. Municipal Intern Council authorized the submission of an application to host a 2020/2021 municipal intern (finance stream) through the Alberta Municipal Affairs’ Municipal Internship Program. The internship program provides support for municipalities to recruit, train, and retain qualified post-secondary graduates to advance into leadership positions within Alberta municipalities. There are three streams within the program including administrator, finance officer and land use planner. The finance officer stream is a one year program to train and develop interns with finance/accounting backgrounds in the finance department as well as key functional areas of municipal operations and management. “We’ve had interns in the past who worked out fairly well,” said Assistant CAO Margaret Jones. “We want to explore the financial stream (as we) have several projects.” If approved, the county would receive about $43,000 in grant funding for the intern position. Letter of Support for Historical Foundation Council passed a motion by Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) to submit a letter of support to the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation for Dr. Juliette Champagne to prepare a request for funding for work on a manuscript based on the Beillevaire letters. Kallal explained the research work would be on First Nations peoples in the area. “First Nations is important for the Beaver Hills Initiative (BHI) as well,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of integrity involved here,” noting the county was merely advocating for the initiative without monetary involvement.

FarmCash opens fall online application offering Alberta producers up to $1 million in cash advances Over the Labour Day long weekend, the FarmCash cash advance program opened the 2019 fall application. As of Sept. 1, Alberta producers can apply online through FarmCash for a fall advance on over 50 agricultural commodities. FarmCash is offered through the Advance Payments Program of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The FarmCash fall application offers Alberta producers up to $1 million in cash advances, with the first $100,000 interest-free on all commodities and $500,000 on canola advances for the 2019 program year. Additionally, FarmCash offers a competitive interest rate of prime minus 0.50% on the remaining balance. “FarmCash is a cashflow management tool to help farmers better manage their production costs and market their crops when the timing is right,” says Gary Stanford, Alberta Wheat Commission chair. “With the current trade and weather challenges Alberta farmers are facing, it’s another option in their farm management toolbox.” FarmCash’s mission is to provide Alberta producers with a time saving cash advance option.

The online application’s time saving features include: • The ability to accept e-signatures; • An automatic calculator for eligible funds; • A document upload feature; and • The option to have FarmCash verify priority agreements on your behalf. “Taking the time and stress out of applying for a cash advance has always been our goal with FarmCash. Previously, cash advance applications were manual documents; FarmCash was the first administrator to offer an online application. Paperwork can be daunting and time consuming so we strive to eliminate that, especially during busy times such as harvest season,” says Syeda Khurram, FarmCash chief operating officer. Alberta producers interested in a fall advance through FarmCash can apply online atfarmcashadvance.com or call 1-855-376-2274 to speak with a FarmCash representative today. The Alberta Wheat Commission is approved as an official administrator of the Advance Payments Program by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Priority Based Budgeting
Road Construction Notice
Adoption of Priority Based Budgeting (PBB)
TWP RD 514 between RGE RD 192 and 195
County Council, at their August 21, 2019, meeting, unanimously endorsed embarking down the path of Priority Based Budgeting (PBB). Beaver County is one of only a handful of municipalities in Canada to use PBB. It is an innovative approach to allocate budgeted resources towards achieving results in identified goals as opposed to applying traditional incremental budgeting. Incremental budgeting takes last year’s budget and the services embedded within and adds/subtracts for items like inflation, growth, grants, and new legislation. PBB for Beaver County will mean a step-by-step process toward clearly sharing with the public all the programs the municipality provides, gauging how well those programs resonate with citizens and ranking those program impacts on priorities in a strategic plan. All the traditional budget factors are still included but programs are also gauged for their ongoing relevance to citizens and priorities. This allows for more movement among program areas and reallocating resources to where they achieve the greatest results. Reeve Jim Kallal stated that he “sees tremendous value in making sure the public knows exactly what they are receiving for programs as well as how much those programs cost and how they are impacting community priorities.” One of the intangible benefits of PBB is moving away from a budget being about departments that are difficult to explain to the public to a budget being about programs that a citizen/business can identify with. Programs invite a healthier dialogue among all stakeholders and add a level of accountability not often seen in government. The first step on this journey will come in the form of meetings with Council and administration to look at the current strategic plan and refresh it with a PBB lens attached. What this means is applying rigor in identifying clear goals for the community. These goals then need results attached to them. This is where accountability and transparency lie. The results, clearly articulated direction and expectations from Council, will be handed off to administration to then build a business plan built on achieving the most results possible within the framework of the budget. Council will then hold its administration accountable for the results promised in that business plan. Reeve Kallal suggested he has “never seen a clearer way to demonstrate understanding between direction from Council and a straight-forward answer from County staff. “This really sets the standard for staying focused on those things that are most important to citizens, businesses, community groups, and Council. Council is looking forward to sharing the results of this with our community. There are only so many dollars in our budget. It is important we demonstrate good value to everyone.” Strategic planning efforts with Council start in mid-September.
For the safety of the residents who travel TWP RD 514 between RGE RD 192 and 195, Beaver County will be resurfacing the road top to gravel effective immediately. The current condition of the road top is considered dangerous and numerous attempts to repair to a standard that would be considered safe; have not succeeded. During this time, portions of the roads may be closed to allow crews to work safely; however, access for local landowners will be maintained during construction. Delays are to be expected. We encourage patrons to take alternate routes until the projects are complete. There are potential hazards to the public and vehicles during the construction process. This can include heavy machinery, dust or mud, and road materials such as gravel, asphalt coatings and rock chips. This schedule is weather dependent. Thank you for your patience and understanding during construction. If you have any questions, please call the Beaver County Service Centre at 780-663-3730.

IRMA NEWS By Marjorie Lawson We extend sympathy to Will and Glenna Lingley of Jarrow after the passing of Will's father, Bill Lingley. Bill and his wife Barb attended Irma School many years ago.
We also offer condolences to Jean Klontz of Viking after the passing of her daughter, Carol, who had worked as a respected educator with the Battle River school district. Her life will be celebrated at a service in Viking on Saturday, Sept. 7. We also extend our deepest sympathy to Deanne and Jason Olsen and children and the Dechaine family on the sudden passing of Deanne's father, Andre Dechaine of Bonnyville. Andy and his wife Janet have many friends in the Irma area and he will certainly be missed. A funeral service
made to Alberta Cancer Foundation, 710 - 10123 -99 Street, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 3H1. Viking Funeral Services 1-780-336-4842 vikingfuneralservices.ca was held in Bonnyville on Saturday, Aug. 31. The Irma Tigers fastball team traveled to Grande Prairie to play in the Mens' Nationals. They played well and had a few wins under their belts but lost out on Saturday evening. Farmers have had a delayed haying season due to the wet weather. Many people are silaging now and the weather looks favourable for the combines to get started this week. Classes began in the old Irma School this week. I hope to have more news soon about the move to the new facility for students and also about the operation of the public library.

DANA ANDRESON PHOTO
The new school year has brought some changes into the world of Dana Andreson and family. Dana's daughter Julianna (far left) holds her new baby, born just last Thursday, while saying goodbye to younger sister Jorja (middle) and daughter Paisley. Jorja has been camped out at her sister's house for the past two weeks helping out and now will be missed. "Julianna is sad that Paisley is off to Pre-School and Jorja is going back to school as well, and not around to help with the new baby,” said Dana, explaining the picture she took to mark the first day of school this year. Dana and family have been providing The Weekly Review’s readers with highly entertaining back to school photos for many years now.
Quiet August for Vialta Lodge residents
Vialta Lodge News Marjorie Hanson Vialta Lodge has been somewhat inactive most of August. Residents have been enjoying visitors and even a “getaway” once in a while. Men will brag that there are women waiting by the phone at this very moment for their call. Who are these women? Women working at “900” numbers. Jeff Watt and Orville VanDework have added their names to the resident list here. Edna Gale is back with us and Addie Labreche is back as of the beginning of September. Helen Nearing and Bernadette Rozmahel have moved to other facilities and we understand they are quite happy. Vialta Lodge was saddened at the beginning of September by the passing of Don Place, Viking’s last of the War Veterans, and by the passing of the friendly and kind Gordon Barker. We were entertained with pleasant programs by “One-Way Duo” and “The Torlea Flats.” Alberta Clothing spent the better part of a day with us and Sole City Shoes came this last week with a nice selection of shoes. Lots of opportunities for residents to unload a little cash. Margaret Greenwood spent some time with residents playing her game
“Name That Town” and they appreciated the experience. Bingo, Roller Ball, Shuffle Bowl, and a Dice game helped many pass the time. Some residents went with the van to the Vegreville Parade. People who have the tendency to fall can come
back with this one. “I’m not clumsy. The floor just hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies, and the walls get in my way.” Church services and Bible study sessions were held pretty well as usual. We enjoyed the birthdays that came up and we helped Irene Toverud cel-
ebrate 101 years with quite a gathering of family and friends. The Stork Report Making a timely appearance for harvest: Arnold Johnson, Sept. 1; Marjorie Hanson, Sept. 16; Gloria Petrosky, Sept. 21. “No news is impossible.”
