Federal Election Called: three candidates so far vying for Battle River-Crowfoot Patricia Harcourt Editor
Three candidates are in the running for the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot so far following the 43rd federal election call on Tuesday, Sept. 3. They are, as of Monday this week: Conservative Party of Canada candidate Damien Kurek, Green Party of Canada candidate Geordie Nelson, and People's Party of Canada candidate David Michaud. According to Liberal Riding Association President for Battle River-Crowfoot Chris MacKay, there will be no candidate running under the Liberal banner in this election campaign. "Unfortunately, due to our numbers, it is unlikely we will have a Liberal candidate for this election. I have been working with the Provincial team on strategy, but at current there are no planned events," MacKay stated in an email. As of Monday there is also no New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada candidate listed. Canadians will be heading to the polls on Oct. 21. At this point, Conservative candidate Kurek appears to have the biggest boots to fill after being nominated to take over from outgoing MP for the riding Kevin Sorenson. Sorenson has held the riding firmly for over two decades. In fact, Kurek worked for Sorenson when Sorenson was Minister of State (Finance) in Ottawa before taking over the MP's constituency office in Camrose. Previous to this, he worked at the Saskatchewan Legislature for then premier Brad Wall in research, policy, and communication portfolios. Also like his predecessor, Kurek was born and raised in the riding.
"Our region has been well represented over the last two decades by Kevin Sorenson, and I am honoured to succeed him as the Conservative Party candidate," Kurek stated in a Sept. 12 release. "And with Kevin's retirement the stakes have never been higher to make sure we send a strong representative to Ottawa." Kurek's message included making life "more affordable by cutting taxes like the Carbon Tax and GST on home heating." He also said, "We are ready to bring accountability back to Ottawa and to ensure that government respects your tax dollars and spends within its means. "We have a plan to ensure that Canada stands up for what's right around the world," Kurek stated. "We are going to respect provinces and make sure that projects in the national interest, like pipelines, are built." PPC candidate David Michaud comes from a military background, having spent two decades in the Communications Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces. According to his website, he has served both in Canada and abroad and has seen "many of the atrocities that go on arose the world." He and his wife have lived in Beaver County since November 2014, living on an acreage where he has fostered retired racing greyhounds. "As a result of this and my background, I am not afraid of hard work, long hours, and sticking to a job until it is done," stated Michaud. "As a father, grandfather and husband, I know the stresses put on 'average' Canadians. "I believe Canadians are ready - and need - to embrace fresh ideas of the People's Party of Canada (PPC) and we
Damien Kurek deserve a higher level of integrity from our government officials. "I believe in the party's principles of personal freedom, individual responsibility, fairness, and respect," Michaud concluded. "I try to live by these principles and advocate them in my daily life." The Green Party of Canada's candidate for Battle RiverCrowfoot is newcomer Geordie Nelson, who lives and works in Camrose. Geordie came from Ottawa as a teenager and lived with his military family in Wainwright. He is a recent graduate of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science.
David Michaud He has lived in Camrose for the past eight years and now works at the campus as the Conference Services Coordinator. He is motivated to become the Green Party candidate due to his deep concern "about the environmental crisis our world is facing," states his bio on his website. "He believes Canada can be a world leader in shaping a more sustainable future. He is passionate about combating food waste, protecting wild places, green technology, indigenous reconciliation and building livable communities." He also states that "resilient rural communities in the Prairies connected to the land are essential for Canada's
future." As an artist, he designed the new logo for the local Battle River Watershed Association and does other volunteer work in the community. In Alberta, the federal Conservative Party of Canada and the People's Party of Canada have each fielded a complete slate of 34 candidates in all 34 ridings. Other parties are having difficulty filling their riding seats with the Green Party having 28 candidates out of 34 ridings to date, the NDP having filled 26 out of 34 riding nominations, and the Liberals having filled only 25 nominations out of 34. Note: No photo was available for NDP candidate Geordie Nelson at press time.

Helping those living through financial stress goal of new initiative Patricia Harcourt Editor
It can be taken as a given that money worries can affect your health and well being. Finances that aren't working for you can cause pain and embarrassment, and perhaps sleepless nights trying to figure out how to rise above the situation. The question is being asked locally: "How can we as a community reduce financial strain as a barrier to health?" A planning meeting is being held Wednesday of this week at Viking Alliance Church from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. to discuss this topic and members of the public are being invited to get involved. The event is being sponsored by the Town of Viking, Viking/Beaver FCSS, Kalyna Country Primary Care Network and Alberta Health Services. The two-year pilot project seeks
to identify and address the health impacts of living with financial concerns in Viking and area. The aim is to do this through a community team built from a variety of sectors of society. The team would assess the community for information on this issue, come up with priorities, then develop and implement them. These will then be evaluated to determine if the actions taken help people in maintaining health despite the worries. People in the community are invited to attend "to explore what we can do together." There will be a light luncheon at the meeting. "We want to support each other over the long run when we experience financial stress," states the initiative concerning its goal. Those interested in helping out can contact project managers at phallett@kalynapcn.ca or katherine.gagnon2@ahs.ca or call your local PCN office at 780-3360190.

'Siamese' crabapple discovered on local farm Patricia Harcourt Editor
Eunice Gulbraa is retired now and lives at Vialta Lodge in Viking. But she likes to go and visit the family farm in the Irma area, which holds a lot of memories for her, although it is still active. "I was out to the farm on a visit," she said, when she discovered a unique piece of
fruit on one of the fruit trees. This fruit is a cross between an apple and a crabapple, and Gulbraa says it can be canned or made into "real good apple pies." Upon looking closer at the fruit, she was fascinated to find that the main stem on the top of the apple was split into two, actually producing two apples that were still conjoined together in the
middle. In other words, there were two apples fastened together by one split stem producing two blossom stems underneath. "It's unique, nature at its best," she said, adding: "I call it my Siamese apple."

Opinion Appreciate thy neighbour It’s either normal, or I am lucky. No matter where I have lived, I have never had an issue with my neighbours. Not everyone can say that. My sister once had a neighbour who didn’t appreciate her teenage boys’ comings and goings, or where they parked their vehicles, or how loud they played their music. The more they freaked out at her boys, the more the teens purposely did things to antagonize them. Before long, the two households were like the Hatfields and McCoys. Finally, my sister’s family outlasted them and they finally put their home up for sale and moved. There are a lot of neighbour horror stories, like the crazy lady who would feed skunks causing them to hang around the area she lived. Neighbours would have to carry flashlights at night so as not to startle one of the smelly little devils. Then there were the neighbours who were fighting over a property line and privacy issues. When one of them returned from holidays, the feuding neighbour had security cameras pointing from his yard into the neighbour’s with a big sign “Smile, You’re on Candid Camera.” Another person was neighbours with someone who let their front lawn grow out of control. They cut the lawn for them once when it got really bad, but later quit when they found out the same neighbours were stealing water from their outside tap. How about the two neighbours who were constantly doing things to tick each other off, like blowing leaves onto each other’s yards or trimming one another’s trees without permission. How about the angry neighbour who flipped off the ice cream truck every time he came around because the noise bothered him; or maybe the guy with infrared binoculars who peered into the neighbours’ homes at night; or maybe the bagpipes neighbour? Or the rock band neighbours? When we first moved to an acreage in Lindbrook, Michelle thought it would be a great idea to have a barbeque for the people in our subdivision. She did up fliers and posters for anyone interested but never got much for replies. None in other words. I told her not to be discouraged because people probably live on acreages because of the seclusion. They likely don’t want to know their neighbours. In the seven years we lived there I couldn’t have told you what the neighbours on either side even looked like. But they were quiet and thoughtful. All you can ask. Now we live next to a fellow whose wife died shortly after we moved in. We reached out to him, giving our sympathy and now we are good friends. The neighbours on our other side were quiet and private. Same with our backyard neighbours. It’s funny though, how you perceive people you often see but really don’t know. One of the backyard neighbours was “The Pacer” who walked back and forth in the backyard at times. The other was the “Tree Guy.” He made a fortress around his yard with towering poplars. When we all decided to replace our fences, we were forced to get together and concoct a plan to share expenses. It went smoothly and every neighbour seemed incredibly nice. Not at all what we feared or what our minds thought they might be like. One of our front neighbours moved last winter, and the people who moved in have teenagers and countless vehicles parked all over the neighbourhood. They are quiet and polite; don’t feed skunks, don’t invade privacy, don’t let their lawn grow out of control, don’t steal our water, don’t trim our trees, don’t play drums in the garage, don’t peer in our windows, and don’t play bagpipes. If yours don’t either, we can all appreciate our neighbours. KERRY ANDERSON

Common Sense Articles written by Peter McArthur based on historical knowledge gleaned over many years. Scramble intersections may be a great way to help pedestrians clear an intersection more quickly. The idea is not new but is being introduced into some big traffic intersections where traffic lights are in use. What is a scramble you might ask? It is an intersection at which the pedestrian can make a kitty corner crossing or the regular crossing directly across the street at an intersection. The kitty corner crossing being the added component, which saves the pedestrian a lot of steps. An equally shorter means of crossing to the kitty corner would be appreciated by any handicapped person or person in a wheelchair. This distance is somewhat less than two normal street crossings in order to get that kitty corner location. In fact, the kitty corner distance is only 72 per cent of the two normal street crossings. It can, therefore, be argued that for both pedestrians and the handicapped their time in the intersections to make their appropriate way to their destination is somewhat less by utilizing a scramble intersection than would be the case if they used the regular crossing to the nearest corner. Common sense would say this is the way to go at busy intersections; well, it is happening but at leads
than full steam as traffic controllers, always hesitant to apply any change, have determined that the provision to implement a scramble intersection by means of traffic control lights ought to be limited to a 50 per cent factor for implementation. In other words, only for every second cycle of the controlled intersection. The interesting point here is that when they have finally come to understand the benefits of a scramble intersection there are always some doubting minds that have to watch it for awhile prior to full implementation of a system. That by a simple mathematical calculation can illustrate the beneficial effects of having pedestrians spend less time in the intersections and thereby allow better traffic flow, while the common sense factor gets kicked to the curb. In our smaller communities, common sense dictates that every intersection should allow the kitty corner crossing, much in the same way that vehicles are now seen crossing the centre line to park on the left side of the street in front of the place the driving is going to. When no one is hurt by this common practice of today, I doubt that it would serve any purpose to compel the driver to go to the end of the block, or around a block, only to return and find that parking staff taken. A little common sense can serve us well here.

Word on the Street: 31-year-old female charged with resisting arrest, assaulting police officer while intoxicated in parking lot On September 9, police received a complaint of a theft from a garage in Viking. The complainant advised someone had stolen his garage door opener out of his vehicle a week prior and it appears the culprits had now used it to gain entry to the garage and steal a bicycle. Police have no suspects at this time. On September 10, police received a complaint of a break and enter at the Viking Golf Course. Eight golf sheds were broken into and police are following up with the property owners to determine what, if anything, was stolen. This matter is still under investigation. On September 11, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle that was left in a driveway at a rural property southwest of Viking. Police are still following up on this matter. Later that morning, police received a report of a found bicycle. Police are attempting to locate the owner.
That afternoon, police received a call for assistance to remove a subject with mental health issues from a property. Police attended and transported the individual to the Viking Health Centre for assessment. On September 13, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle northwest of Viking. The vehicle was later removed and not towed by police. That afternoon, police received a complaint of a break and enter at an oilfield site in the Viking area. This matter is still under investigation. Later that day, police were asked to check on the welfare of an individual in Viking. The caller was concerned that the male might be suicidal. Police located and spoke with the person in question and all was well. That evening, police received a complaint of a domestic dispute in the Bruce area. The complainant advised she had been assaulted and left
abandoned on the side of the highway. Police were able to locate and arrest the male in question. Charges are pending. Later that night, police were advised of an ongoing landlord/tenant dispute at a rural property west of Viking. Police are following up on this matter. That same night, police came upon an intoxicated female causing a disturbance in the parking lot at the Viking Health Centre. Police arrested a 31year-old woman and she has been charged with resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and disturbing the peace. She was taken to the Vegreville detachment where she was lodged until sober. She will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court in October. During the early morning hours on September 15, police received a complaint of a domestic dispute at a rural property southwest of Viking. This matter is still under investigation.
Stolen vehicle investigation leads to drug trafficking charges in Vegreville On September 13, at approximately 10 a.m., the Vegreville RCMP received a complaint of a possible stolen vehicle parked at a local motel. As the investigation continued, and the vehicle was located, an adult male attempted to drive away in the vehicle but was stopped by police. As the member attempted to affect the arrest, the suspect fled the scene on foot and was arrested after a brief foot chase. The accused was found in possession of substances believed to be methamphetamine and fentanyl. These led investigators to obtain a search warrant for the room which the suspect male had exited. The search warrant was executed in the early morning hours of September 13, 2019. During the search, a .22 caliber rifle, loaded, was located. The firearm had been modified, rendering it a prohibited firearm as defined by the Criminal Code. Mark Alexander Kennedy, 29, of Red Deer Alberta, has been charged with the 11 Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act

Packed house for Marjorie Hanson's 99th birthday celebration Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Viking Station Tea House was packed with family, friends, and former students wishing Marjorie Hanson well on the occasion of her 99th birthday. The celebration occurred Sunday afternoon with beautiful flowers and a birthday cake marking the occasion, along with a tasty buffet. Hanson has served as this paper's Vialta Lodge correspondent for many years now, and the Weekly Review joins in wishing her all the best. Her local history begins in 1944 when Marjorie Johnson of Edmonton married Julius Hanson. Marj was a school teacher and educated many young people in the area in rural school houses and in Viking. The couple eventually took over the family farm in 1953 with their three children, Don, Diane, and Joan. The family kept busy with the dairy farm, which had Guernsey cows to milk, as well as other
farm work. Marj went on with her teaching in Viking and the children attended school and other extra curricular activities. Once the children were grown, the couple moved into their new home in Viking in 1988. After her husband passed away, Marj stayed in the home until she moved into the lodge. As well as her teaching, Marj has been an avid contributor to her community and did a great deal of volunteering, always keeping busy and promoting things locally. For instance, she helped organize the Communities in Bloom movement in Viking, which won many awards over the time in which the town participated. This birthday has marked a decades long career as a wife, teacher and volunteer. And the people who came out in droves to help her celebrate and show their appreciation were a testament to that contribution to the life and community of Viking and area.

Farmers forced to accept delays due to moisture and late crop development Patricia Harcourt The Alberta Crop Report for the period up to Sept. 10 states that poor weather conditions over the prior week have allowed for only two per cent of major crops to be harvest in the province's Region Three. This includes the north east areas of Camrose, Vermilion, Provost, and Smoky Lake. As well, slow maturing crops have put crops behind their normal stage of development. As of Sept. 10, 83 per cent of all crops were still standing, which compares to the five year average of 55 per cent. Also, 14 per cent have been swathed and three per cent harvested. About 49 per cent of dry peas, 78 per cent of winter wheat, 75 per cent of fall rye, and two per cent of barley are now in the bin. Almost 23 per cent of canola has been swathed. Dry peas may have moulding, rotting, and small pea size, and nearly 46 per cent of harvested dry peas are graded number two, 29 per cent as number three, and 25 per cent as feed. There is no second cut for hay in the region, and pasture conditions are rated as two per cent poor, 18 per cent fair, 48 per cent good and 32 per cent excellent. This week, the weather has been warmer and dryer and farmers are hoping this will help get the crops off the ground faster than previously.

Crop producers granted extension to repay cash advances Farmers form the backbone of rural communities across Canada. They are integral to expanding our middle-class and strengthening our economy. The Government of Canada remains committed to growing Canada’s agricultural sector by ensuring all farmers have the support they need to manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farms. Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced last week that crop producers impacted by recent market disruptions may now be eligible for an additional six months to repay 2018 cash advances under the Advance Payments Program (APP). "Our government is working closely with our farmers to meet their needs and is taking many concrete steps to help them deal with the current market turmoil. This Stay of Default will give them more flexibility and the room to maneuver so they can better manage their liquidity, " said Bibeau. The Stay of Default, which covers advances on grains, oilseeds, and pulses, will provide additional flexibility to repay advances for farmers that may be facing lower
prices, reduced marketing opportunities, or a decrease in farm cash income. The decision comes following recent changes made by the Government of Canada to strengthen the APP by increasing the maximum loan limit for all farmers to $1 million and the interest-free portion to $500,000 for canola. The six-month Stay of Default to March 31, 2020, will provide producers with more time to repay their 2018 outstanding advances. The Stay of Default was granted at the request of nine program administrators. The Government of Canada will also continue to pay interest on the interest-free portion of farmers’ outstanding advances until March 31, 2020, for those commodities. Producers who received a 2018 APP advance from any of the nine participating administrators could be eligible for the Stay of Default and are encouraged to contact their respective administrator for more details. Participating administrators are Agri-Commodity Management Association, Alberta Sugar Beet Growers, Alberta Wheat Commission, BC Breeder and Feeder Association, Canadian
Canola Growers Association, Manitoba Corn Growers Association Inc., Manitoba Livestock Cash Advance Inc., Producteurs de Grains du Québec, and Western Cash Advance Program Inc. Quick Facts • The Advance Payments Program is a financial loan guarantee program that provides producers easy access to credit through cash advances. There was over 21,000 producers who participated in the program in 2018, and the average advance was approximately $118,000. • For the 2018 program year, 12,902 grains, oilseed, and pulse producers took more than $1.68 billion in advances, representing a 3 per cent increase in the number of grains, oilseed, and pulse producers taking advances under the program, and a 6 per cent increase in the value of advances taken in 2017. • As of July 31, there has been close to 1,100 new producers who have joined the program in 2019 and there has been approximately 360 producers who have returned to the program after not participating in the last three years.

Holden Museum holds end of season celebration with auction Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Holden Historical Society Museum held an end of season celebration on Sunday with live music and vintage item auction, along with homemade pies and refreshments for the public. The museum has been open from May 25 to Sept. 15 with this year's theme "Nature and Wildlife." A beautiful display on the theme was set up in the jail at the museum. Museum Society President Dave Maruszeczka said another fun idea for this year included using the old carousel slide projector from the late 1970s to show older wildlife photos obtained courtesy of See MUSEUM P14
Auctioneers (from left) Weston and Terry Magneson, sell an historical artifact, photos of classic farm tractors, during the end of season celebration at the Holden Museum Sunday.

Large item pick-up in October The problem of people dumping large items in back allies persists in town, and there is really no reason for it, says Town of Tofield Assistant CAO Jeff Edwards. Mattresses and large items left beside dumpsters will not be disposed of by Beaver Municipal Solutions, the local landfill which picks up waste bins in town. “We have a transfer station on creamery road,” said Edwards. “It’s free for town residents to take their items there.” For those who have no way to transport large items, the free large item pick up will be available in Oct. throughout Beaver County. Residents who want to dispose of large household items are to leave them curbside. “It’s a huge benefit to our area,” said Edwards. BMS provides it to towns and villages in Beaver County, and several towns in Alberta do not have the benefit of large item pickup.
“It’s a wonderful program to eliminate waste.” Edwards warns that items with freon, like refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and water coolers will not be picked up unless a $25 freon removal sticker is purchased from the town office, transfer station, or BMS administra-
tion office in advance. Once the sticker has been placed properly on the appliance, it will be removed on large item pick up day. Large item pick up is a service provided twice yearly. The final pick ups in 2019 will be; Oct. 1 in Tofield, Oct. 10 in Holden, Oct. 17 in Bruce, Oct. 24 in Ryley, and Oct. 28 in Viking.

the Alberta Government. "We were showing kids how to use the carousel," he said, during school tours held last spring. Technology having changed quite a bit since then, the students needed to be shown how to operate the machine during a tutoring exercise as part of the tour. On Sunday, the live auction was conducted by auctioneers Terry and Weston Magneson of Ryley, who cracked jokes while auctioning off the memorabilia supplied by museum society board director Audrey Steinwand. Steinwand "does a lot of work in here, especially with the artifacts," said Maruszeczka. "She also supplied all the items being auctioned." These came from her farm with the proceeds being donated back to the museum. The Holden Museum began its work of preserving and displaying artifacts and educating the public about local history in 1992. Maruszeczka has been president these past 18 years. "We are in the process of applying for reaccreditation with the Museum Association," he said, an exercise that must be done every five years. "It allows us to display signage that is recognized internationally showing that the museum has reached a certain standard."
Pictured above: Holden Museum Society Director Dave Maruszeczka stands inside the jail at the museum where a nature/wildlife display was placed as part of this year's theme. Pictured left: Museum Director Audrey Steinwand (seated bottom of photo, centre) keeps track of the memorabilia that is being auctioned off which she has donated to the museum.

Holden 4-H Beef Club weigh-in coming up in October Quinten Albrecht On Thursday, Sept. 12, the Holden 4-H Beef Club held its annual organizational meeting at the Holden Complex. The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. and started off with the pledge. We received a report from the Treasurer, followed by discussing possible dates for our fundraiser this year, which will be tire recycling. We are grateful to the Roulston family for organizing this. We also decided that our weigh in day will be October 20 at the Albrecht farm at a time yet to be determined. Next we decided to give out prizes for the Best Kept Record Book and the Highest Scoring Diary at our next meeting. It was then discussed that the Beaver District will allow each member individually to decide whether or not they wish to implant their steers. We also voted to hold the club elections at our next meeting October 3 at 7p.m. at the Holden Complex. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. We will be kicking off our club's 74th year of operation with 16 members. If you are interested in joining, or would like more information, it's not too late!

Backlash Brad Thor In ancient texts, there are stories about men who struck from the shadows, seemingly beyond the reach of death itself. These men were considered part angel, part demon. Their loyalty was to their families, their friends, and their kings. You crossed these men at your peril. And once crossed, there was no crossing back. Red Strike Chris Ryan A former Russian spy, living in hiding in Malta, goes on the run after an attempt on his life. He's been targeted because of what he knows about chemical weapons and the poisoning of an exiled oligarch who cut a deal with MI6, but he's actually got information about a planned Russian invasion. Now he's gone to ground, and MI6 want to get hold of him before the Russians do. Dead at First Sight Peter James A man waits at a London airport for Ingrid Ostermann, the love of his life, to arrive. Across the Atlantic, a retired NYPD cop waits in a bar in Florida's Key West for his first date with the lady who is, without question, his soulmate. The two men are about to discover they've been scammed out of almost every penny they have in the world - and that neither women exist. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace realizes he is looking at the tip of an iceberg. A global empire built on clever, cruel internet scams and the murder of anyone who threatens to expose them.
