Repeat offender Youngsters run for Terry arrested twice in two days with stolen vehicles On Sunday, Sept. 29, at approximately 9:30 a.m, Killam RCMP were advised of a theft of a truck from a local shop. The owner of the truck was able to relay the location of the truck via GPS to police, and determined that the truck was in Viking. Killam and Viking RCMP members located the vehicle, and arrested the driver. Jory Nicholls, 31, of Edmonton, Alberta, was charged with: Break and Enter, Mischief Under $5,000; Possession of Property obtained by Crime over $5,000. On Monday, Sept. 30, Nicholls was released by a Justice of the Peace for a future court date. Shortly after his release Monday, Killam RCMP were alerted to a theft of a truck in Killam. Killam RCMP were able to notify surrounding detachments, and eventually located and arrested Nicholls again in the other stolen truck. Nicholls was additionally charged with the following offences: -Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. -Flight from Police Officer -Theft of Truck -Fail to comply with conditions of a recognizance -Mischief under $5,000 Nicholls was set to appear in Killam Provincial Court on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Province contemplating police funding share from small communities Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter
Alberta contracts policing from the RCMP, with the province covering the costs of police for all small municipalities under 5,000 residents and rural districts. Centres with higher populations pay for their own municipal police forces, or contract RCMP directly, and are eligible for grant funding to help offset the costs. The province is presently reviewing that funding model, starting consultations with municipalities that are presently not paying for policing. According to the Rural Municipalities Association, the province has put forward options that include a funding formula partly based on popu-
lation, 30 per cent, and partly based on equalized assessment, 70 per cent. The RMA has already voiced concerns about policing based on equalized assessment figures. “It transfers a significant amount of the costs to counties and municipal districts without addressing the service levels in rural and remote areas that are so different once you get outside of an urban community where a police detachment is housed,” says RMA President Al Kemmere in a message to members. He says another concern is that the province is apparently considering transferring 15 to 70 per cent of the policing costs to these small and rural municipalities. “The values applied to these numbers will defi-
nitely become a huge challenge for our members by having a significant effect on their bottom line, while not enhancing service levels. “This is just a shift in the tax burden.” Alberta’s Opposition Leader Rachel Notley says that at 70 per cent, that averages out to $406 per resident per year. In an op-ed piece authored by Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer on Wednesday, Sept. 25, he says, “To ensure we have a law enforcement system that enhances public safety and emphasizes frontline policing, our government is fulfilling our campaign promise to review how police are funded in Alberta. “The current model has resulted in a shortage of policing services.
Viking Cold Beer & Liquor Store
“We’ve been listening to Albertans, municipalities, and others and are asking for feedback on a number of models on how police should be funded.” Schweitzer adds, “If any new funding model that would collect funds from more municipalities is chosen, any funds
collected would be reinvested in frontline policing and would lead to an overall increase in funding for police services in Alberta.” Flagstaff County Council heard during their Sept. 25 regular meeting that ranges from 15 to 70 per cent could add anywhere from

Word on the Street: RCMP receive complaint of sexual assault on minor During the early morning hours on September 23, police received information that Edmonton Police Service was tracking a stolen vehicle heading eastbound out of the city, and they wanted members aware in the event the situation carried into our jurisdiction. Members made patrols westbound; however, no traffic stop was conducted. Later that morning, police received a complaint of a boat dumped in a ditch southwest of Viking. Police attended and found the boat had been stripped with most of the inside being ripped apart. Police had the boat towed from the location and are still attempting to determine the owner of it. That evening, police received a complaint of a sexual assault on a minor. This matter is still under investigation. That evening, police received a request to check on the well being of an individual as he hadn’t been heard from for two weeks. Police were able to locate the person in question and confirmed that he was fine. On September 25, a citizen attended the detachment to report some people had attended his place of residence the previous evening and threatened to remove his belongings. Police were already aware of an ongoing landlord/tenant issue at this residence and advised him it was a civil issue. That afternoon, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle seen exiting a lease road southwest of Viking. Police made a patrol and located the vehicle in question. They spoke with the driver and determined no crime had taken place.
On September 26, police received a complaint of a possible break and enter at a gas plant south of Bruce. This matter is still under investigation. That night, police received information from Fish and Wildlife officers regarding someone shooting from their vehicle while hunting. Police were given a vehicle description but did not locate it. On September 27, police received a complaint of a domestic assault that had just taken place. The caller advised she had been assaulted by her boyfriend and left on the side of the road near Viking. Police located and arrested the male in question the next day. He is facing charges of assault and failing to comply with conditions of a court order and will be appearing in court later this week. While completing the investigation of this incident, the victim was found to be in possession of a weapon and a small amount of methamphetamine. She has also been charged with two offences, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of crystal meth. That evening, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle east of Viking on Highway 14. Police contacted the registered owner who advised the vehicle had broken down and arrangements were being made to have it removed. The complainant was updated. On September 28, police were called to assist Killam RCMP with the containment of a rural

property where it was believed a suspect was hiding in some trees. With the assistance of a police service dog, one male was located and taken into custody. He is facing numerous charges stemming from incidents in the Killam area. That same day, police received a complaint of a break and enter in progress at a rural property southwest of Viking. Police attended and found culprits had broken into some outbuildings on the property but no one was currently on scene. This matter is still under investigation. Later that day, police received a complaint of a theft of fuel in the Kinsella area. The complainant advised someone had syphoned fuel from his swather that had been parked in a field. Police have no suspects at this time. Viking RCMP

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I got back from a recent holiday and the first thing I saw when I got back into Canada was a newspaper saying Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer are in a dead heat. My question is: is there another Justin Trudeau other than the one who has been leading this country for the past four years? Based on facts and performance the thought that Canada could re-elect Justin Trudeau is incomprehensible. The explanation for this comes from the fact that performance of a politician is now secondary to the holographic image of that politician that can be created by mainstream media, unions, social media and academia (MUSA). We are witnessing the most successful mass propaganda campaign in history. MUSA has done nothing short of a remarkable job brainwashing a planet into their politically correct (progressive) agenda. It is all about the narratives. Set the narrative, repeat the narrative, radicalize society to go after anyone who challenges the narratives and it is mission accomplished. It doesn’t matter if these narratives are completely false or outright lies. As long as it advances the progressive agenda it is all good. MUSA has no problem covering up mass rape, genocide, child labour and pedophilia as long as their agenda is advanced. Since my last letter we have another Transmountain pipeline delay and no action from our PM on the China trade dispute. Canada’s failure to develop our resources under Justin Trudeau is the biggest economic blunder in Canadian history and, you could argue, in the entire history of people kind. I caught wind of how there are concerns in schools and hospitals revolving around funding cuts. Anyone who is aware of the fact that budgets don’t balance themselves should have seen this coming from a mile away. The 46 Billion dollars of debt the NDP racked up now means we are paying 1.1 Billion dollars in extra interest payments every year. (Premier)Jason Kenney pointed out how Alberta could build one new school per day on the money we are now having to spend on paying interest on the NDP debt. Dumbing society
down to basic economics is another critical element in MUSA’s agenda and the success of the progressive agenda. Speaking of funding for schools and social programs could you imagine if we were rich in resources and could use the money from resource development to pay for our social programs? In MUSA’s world the thought of this would make me a racist, climate change denier. The re-election of Justin Trudeau should complete the phasing out of the oilsands and lead to massive cuts to our social programs. If someone from the progressive movement could explain how we are going to pay for our social programs without resource revenue? There are three scenarios for our province moving forward. The first one is to make cuts. When Jason Kenney brought this up he was lambasted as the most evil man on earth. So if that is off the table we have two options left. The first is to develop our resources and use the money to pay for schools and hospitals. Because we are going to save the planet by not developing our resources, then the only other option is to pass on another 46 Billion dollars of debt to our children and dig an economic hole for them so deep they may never dig out. Seems quite ironic that the progressive movement who wants to save our children from a climate emergency has no trouble passing down an economic catastrophe. I have lost track of how many Billions in election promises Justin Trudeau has made. Can someone please tell me where the money is coming from other than higher debt and taxes? Sadly, if asked where the money is coming from, a scary high number of Canadians would say the government is going to pay for it. Let’s look at an analogy of what the reality of this situation is. Let’s say I decide to run for Mayor of Viking. The first thing I would do is buy off the local media with 600 million dollars of taxpayer money so no matter how many illegal activities I am involved in I will come out smelling like a rose. Then I would promise to give every person in Viking a new truck. If a citizen would ask me where the money is going to come from I would call them a
racist, white supremacist or Nazi. The local media would portray me as the greatest person on earth because I am giving away so much “free” stuff. If a political opponent challenged me on it the local media would step in and call him a far right, anti immigration white nationalist. It would all be the greatest situation in the world until some time passed and the students in Viking School realize that I didn’t even have one loonie to my name let alone the billions of dollars in bribes I am handing out. So in the end it will be them paying for my bribes. Perhaps I’m not such a great guy after all passing the bill for my spending spree onto future generations. To truly represent what is going on in Canada my story isn’t over. Just when my financial officer named Jody was about to send out the keys to the truck to all citizens, I broke the law and interfered in her doing this and forced her to send the trucks to people in Quebec because I don’t see anything wrong with Albertans' hard earned tax dollars being aimlessly sent to Quebec. When Jody showed honesty and reported my illegal activities I fired her as this type of integrity isn’t tolerated as long as I am leader. In conclusion when the RCMP showed up to investigate my illegal activities I shut down their investigation into myself as I was just trying to protect drivers in Quebec. If you dig deep enough virtually every positive narrative MUSA has created of Justin Trudeau has been demolished. There is still one that drives me crazy and it is the immigration narrative and how Justin Trudeau is proimmigration and every right wing party is automatically anti-immigration. The truth about open borders is the biggest mass cover up by MUSA. If you want to destroy your country, open borders would be the best way to do it. The right wing parties that want immigration to be governed by the current laws of our country are anti-immigration, but Justin Trudeau is proimmigration? Letting people openly break the laws of your country by coming in illegally doesn’t make you pro immigration. Welcoming ISIS fighters back into our country whose organization burned women alive in cages and pushed gays off buildings doesn’t make you pro-immigration.
Proudly serving the communities of Viking, Bruce, Kinsella, Holden, Irma, Innisfree, Ryley, Rural Vegreville, and surrounding areas since 1913!

Prioritizing Muslim refugees while discriminating against Christian and Yazidi refugees doesn’t make you pro immigration. Giving convicted terrorists who wanted to kill innocent Canadians their citizenship back doesn’t make you pro immigration. Letting the dangerous criminal gangs into our country that Donald Trump boots out of his doesn’t make you pro immigration. What letting dangerous criminal gangs does lead to is a record number of gun murders in Toronto in 2018. This fact was of course covered up by MUSA. The last truly sad immigration story that is a secret is that of the Ogunkoya family. They are a Christian Nigerian family in which the mom has a job and a son has received awards from his school. The family converted from Islam to Christianity, and under Sharia Law this is punishable by death. The Liberals plan on deporting this family back to Nigeria to face a death sentence. Spread the word and contact your MP. In conclusion, the black face scandal has caused hypocrisy to reach an all time high. The narrative has been set. It is that we all make mistakes so our PM should be let off the hook. That is fine but I thought back to the Alberta election when the NDP and the pro NDP media were hammering on Jason Kenney for remarks he made 27 years ago. He apologized and took accountability but I don’t remember one person saying we all make mistakes and we should let Jason Kenney off the hook. As a non progressive would it be too much to ask that all politicians be treated equal? I have made many mistakes in my life and would hope that if I apologize and take accountability that I would be forgiven so I think we should forgive our PM just like we would all like to be forgiven for our past screw ups. I understand it is hard with our PM who has appointed himself as the moral compass of the country and is first to judge any right wing citizen or politician who steps even slightly out of line, but in the end we need to be more forgiving of all regardless of politician stripes.

Viking AG Foods and Parent Council team up for fundraiser or through the Parent Council. At the end of October, all the proceeds of the donations will go be given to the Council, which works for an enhanced school environment for their students. Jay Sim of Viking AG Foods said the store is doing this for a second year to help out. "It's for the community," he said.
Patricia Harcourt Editor
Viking AG Foods and Viking School Parent Council are once again teaming up to raise money for the council. The fundraiser uses a coupon book that has great savings inside to entice members of the community to make a donation and get the price cut for various items in the book. The coupons take money off the regular price for many different kinds of food and other items. The savings total $50, and all the individual has to do is make a $10 donation. Those funds will go towards the Parent Council; the tradeoff is that AG Foods will give that person a booklet with $50 worth of savings. Coupon booklets can be obtained at the store
Viking AG Foods owner Richard Sim holds up the fundraiser the store is co-sponsoring with the Viking School Parent Council. Donate $10 and you will receive a coupon booklet with $50 in coupons on your favourite items. All donations will go towards the school council.

Battle River-Crowfoot has full slate of major party candidates Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Federal riding of Battle River-Crowfoot now has a full slate of candidates from the major parties running in the election campaign. The vote will be held in three weeks' time on Monday, October 21. Dianne Clark is the latest candidate to announce for the Liberal Party of Canada. Earlier in the campaign, the local Liberals didn't expect to be fielding a candidate but that changed
as of last week. At this time, there is no photo or biography available on Clark. The same is true for the second last candidate to declare, this time for the NDP. Natasha Fryzuk is described as a communications coordinator for the Quarter Arts Society in Edmonton. Other candidates include Conservative Damien Kurek, Green Party candidate Geordie Nelson, and People's Party candidate David Michaud. Their photos and biographies have already
been published. The parties had until Wednesday, Oct. 2, to submit candidates' names to Elections Canada in time for the Oct. 21 vote. In the meantime, Leanne Nyirfa of Elections Canada has announced that around 28 million voter information cards have been sent out in the mail. The cards tell a voter when and where they can vote in the election. "Unlike the Alberta provincial election, for the advance polls and
on election day, you must vote at the polling station that is assigned to you," she states. "If you do not receive your voter
information card by the end of this week, it means you are not registered to vote. "You may wish to contact Elections
Canada at elections.ca or call 1-800-463-6868 to register. Alternatively, you register when you vote," said Nyirfa.

Public skating availability issue questioned as Viking Carena schedule fills up Patricia Harcourt Editor
With a new ice season brings another discussion about public skating availability at Viking Carena's rink. "I do believe the issue has been addressed," said Viking CAO Don McLeod, during the Sept. 16 council meeting. McLeod noted that "there is still public skating every day," and more time slots were becoming available as the ice schedule is firmed up. He urged residents wanting to know when the free skating is slotted in to consult the town website. Economic Development Officer Doug Lefsrud said the schedule changed when some rental users "from the outside" made requests to revise their time slots. This changed availability for other things like the public
skating. "It's kind of an evolving thing," he said, adding: "We want to make sure it's accessible to everybody." But Councillor Laurel Weisgerber spoke up for the local skaters who want to use the rink for their own enjoyment. "Not everyone can afford to rent ice for an hour," she said. Weisgerber referred to other towns where community skating slots are blocked off "and others couldn't take it." Also those hours set aside for public skating never changed, "so people know when to come. "We need to be careful," she said. "It's a fine line. We don't want to alienate people into going down the highway (to another facility)." Lefsrud said he remembered previous times when there were 12 local teams using the ice, "and
there was free skating every Sunday afternoon from 2-3 p.m. "There hasn't been a lot of pushback when we took that away," he said, although admitting there was "a fair bit of public skating" at one time." But he added that, "this year there will be a lot more (and) we'll do our best." He added, however, that "we're still facing challenges with consistency" of public skating in the schedule. "We definitely want our community to appreciate their building," he said. To that Weisgerber replied: "I don't want people to be angry because they can't come down and go for a skate." The schedule is filling up with 'outside' and local users for the season. The Carena facility report states that contracts are out for Silent Ice, Church Inter-Mural
Hockey, the Skate Club, Gas Kings, 26ers, and Safety Icons. The Hockey Super League (HSL) season will include 15 showcase weekends in the Carena this winter bringing teams from all across Western Canada into the town including four Vancouver/BC based teams. The scheduling still doesn't have exact numbers for the Gas Kings hockey program. Once minor hockey has booked weekend game slots, more time for public skating and shinny will be made available on weekends, states the report. "The public is advised to check out the Carena schedule on the town website for these times and plenty will be made available once Viking Minor Hockey game slots are booked for the winter," the report stated.

Council bytes: Viking CAO says ‘it's been another busy month’ Patricia Harcourt Editor
Town of Viking CAO Don McLeod reported to council’s Sept. 16 meeting, stating: “It’s been another busy month.” The drainage issues at two intersections in town will be fixed by B&W Asphalt once they arrive towards the end of September. McLeod discussed the work of energy con-
sultants 8760 Energy, which has been hired to look for the best energy price and manage energy needs on behalf of the town. The consultants “look at our energy usage and time when consumption is high,” he said, noting the company has been in business since 2009 and is associated with the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA). “It is a market now for the energy needs,”

has a three year deal with the company. McLeod also reported that in August he met with the Ultimate Hemp World owner to discuss the subdivision process for the proposed site. The subdivision work in the East Industrial Park has been contracted out to West Central Planning Agency. Town utilities billing was delayed until the Sensus remote reading
he said, explaining there are 13 suppliers and the consultants get the best price out of the pool. “It doesn’t cost us anything,” he said. “If they save money, they get 40 per cent of the savings…They do a lot of work and it’s in their best interests saving money.” Savings are determined by comparing prices over the previous year, he said.The town
for the water metres could be fixed. After the problem was solved, the bills went out in mid-September, about 10 days later than normal for the bi-monthly billing. Christmas Celebrations Dec. 6 Another big event EDO has started planning for is the Community Christmas celebrations set for Friday, Dec. 6. The fun starts with a communi-
ty luncheon at the Carena, a light parade after dark on main street, followed by public skating and a visit from Santa at the Carena. Christmas Light Competition Council agreed to hold another Christmas Light Contest for 2019, after hearing the first contest last year worked out well. “Last year it was a See COUNCIL P13

Council waives tax penalties for struggling company Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council agreed to waive the tax penalties for late tax payments for Pine Cliff Energy, a natural gas producer and the county's largest taxpayer. A report by Assistant CAO Margaret Jones recommended that the November 1, 2019, and January 16, 2020, penalties be waived for one year only. The company is paying the 2019 taxes later than meets the deadline, but plans to pay the 2020 taxes on time, she said. The company "is facing financial challenges in the current natural gas market, and although the company is prepared to pay the full amount of the 2019 taxes, it cannot pay in a lump sum by October 31, 2019," states the report. "It has requested that the county accept payment of 2019 taxes in equal instalments over the next 12 months, and waive late payment penalties." The penalties imposed as stated in the bylaw are 12 per cent for unpaid taxes as of November 1, and a further six per cent for taxes still in arrears as of January 16. Jones said setting a precedent should be avoided, and all such requests should be examined on their individual merits. But the case of Pine Cliff Energy has "extenuating circumstances that warrant consideration of the request." These include the
downturn in the economy, and the struggle of oil and gas companies that "need some relief." "Pine Cliff Energy is the county's largest nonresidential taxpayer," states the report. "The county has already lost over $2 million in taxes in the last two years due to bankruptcies and delinquent accounts. Pine Cliff is not asking for its taxes to be reduced or forgiven; rather it is asking that it be allowed to pay over a 12-month period without incurring penalty." Jones also noted that the company is not in arrears and is being proactive in working with the county regarding its financial challenges. She told councillors that there were no assets
to seize if the company can't recover. "We are in dire straits with our gas companies," said Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2), adding: "This is just the start." Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) called the waiver a "oneoff" noting the county has already lost $2.5 million in taxes due to the oil and gas industry downturn. "We need to tighten our belts," he said, noting: "Pine Cliff has been a big supporter of the community." But he added: "I hope it doesn't open up the flood gates…but I will definitely support this." "I'm pretty confident that if we agree to this they'll do it," said Jones, referring to the company.
"As stated, they're a big player and certainly worthy of consideration," said Councillor Kevin Smook (Division
1). The motion by Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson to waive the late payment penal-
ties was passed. "I believe things will improve so they will be able to pay the 2019 taxes," said Jones.
New First Response radio system Allan Weiss Regional Emergency Manager
On Oct 1, 2019 Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC) adopted the new Alberta First Responder Radio Communication System (AFRRCS). All Beaver Emergency Services fire personnel will now be using AFRRCS radios. The trunked radio system became operational in the province on July 1, 2016. AFRRCS allows for
inter-operability between various emergency services linking us with many of our mutual aid partners. One main advantage is it allows for seamless, county wide, communications between Fire D e p a r t m e n t s , Ambulance Services, and Peace Officers. Other users for AFRRCS include RCMP, Alberta Health Services, Alberta Government Agencies, and other key stakeholders. This ability to communicate is criti-
cal during major incidents and disasters. “AFRRCS will enhance our emergency services dispatch and response by allowing our first responders to communicate clearly amongst themselves and other relevant emergency agencies” says BESC Regional Emergency Manager Allan Weiss. “This ability to communicate is critical during major incidents and disasters”.

Council updates from Sept. 18 meeting Patricia Harcourt Road Closure Request by BMS Granted Beaver County granted a road closure request from Beaver Municipal Solutions (BMS) to pave the way for development of a sediment control pond next year. BMS will lease that portion of the road from Beaver County. Council passed second and third reading of Road Closure Bylaw 19-1072. The road closure is located between parcels in E1/2 10-50-17-W4 and W1/2 11-50-17W4, which is one mile of R.R. 172 south of Twp. Rd. 502. The request allows BMS to lease this mile of road situated between two parcels owned by BMS. Development Officer Jessica Lui reported that, “the adjacent land uses include a dwelling to the north, landfill operations to the east and west, and agricultural lands to the south.� Lui explained the intent of the request: “Council’s approval will assist BMS with their ongoing landfill operation and development of a sediment control pond in 2020 while ensuring the safe passage of construction vehicles. A lease agreement will be entered with BMS at an agricultural lease rate for 8.0 acres of road, for a maximum lease term of five (5) years with option to renew.� BMS is to continue to provide access of the leased road “to affected users and maintain the road accordingly,� she states in her report. Telus has requested a right of access to their facilities in that area as well. Reducing Speed Limits adjacent to Landfills BMS requested that the speed limit be reduced on the stretch of S.H. 854 just north of Highway 14 that runs past the two landfills situated on either side of the highway. The mix of speeding vehicles and slow moving garbage trucks was cited as an area of conflict. A hazard is created if the trucks exiting landfills spill debris onto the highway with speeding vehicles encountering them. There have also been complaints made and concerns from local residents expressed about the situation. Currently, the speed limit is 100 km/hr. Council passed a motion to ask Alberta Transportation to reduce the speed limit to whatever Alberta Transportation decided is the best for the situation. County Council decided in August that a speed reduction on that stretch of road should be implemented after a request came from BMS. CAO Bob Beck explained that the process requires that a request comes directly from the county. Council also requested that proper signage be erected on S.H. 854 between Highway 14 and Twp. Rd. 502 to inform the public that trucks are turning and to exercise caution during poor weather conditions. Holden Library Shared Services Over Expenditure Beaver County deferred a decision on how to deal with the Holden Library’s perceived “over expenditure� on its 2018 shared services agreement. The county paid out in March 2019 $6,872 to the Village of Holden for the village library’s operating budget. However, there was a calculation error made in the original request, and the revised amount of $13,841 was $829 higher than what was approved in the county’s 2018 budget. Administration will contact its counterpart in Holden to find out the village’s ideas about the $829 difference in what was provided to the village by the county.
Five Year Road Plan Updated The Five Year Road Plan was revised by council to get a two mile stretch of a problem road surfaced with TerraCem. In exchange, another project had to be dropped to keep the road budget unchanged. Due to the need this fall to reclaim Twp. Rd. 514, from R.R. 193-195, to gravel, the county has agreed to upgrade these two miles with TerraCem next year. The work was necessary after an application of Road Tek in 2018 failed to hold and was torn up before being reclaimed to gravel. However, the work required another project on the list be dropped for this one. “To keep within the planned budget amount for 2020 road construction, we suggest exchanging the first mile and a half on R.R. 182 from Highway 14 heading south, for the two miles on Twp. Rd. 514,� said Transportation Director Dan Blackie. This revision in the road plan was approved. Road Access Requests Tabled Two road access requests were tabled until administration and council can visit the sites and further assess the feasibility of a road. The road access requests are for SE 33-49-14-W4 and SW 35-49-14-4. CAO Bob Beck stated in his report on both sites that “the cost to construct 1/2 mile of county road is difficult to determine at this time, as there are wetlands for which we would need approval prior to working in. In general, construction costs for a county road would range from $250,000 to $350,000 per mile.� “I don’t think it’s up to Beaver County to upgrade a private property for gain,� said Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2), but added: “If it’s an agricultural quarter, they should have reasonable access.� Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) had earlier brought up the issue of farmers also deserving access to their agricultural lands, and the problems encountered in his division regarding this. Bruce said the central and eastern parts of the county deserve good roads as much as the west end residents. CAO Performance Appraisal Policy Council approved an amendment to the CAO Performance Appraisal Policy that would incorporate a 360 degree review as part of the annual CAO performance appraisal. Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) made the motion which was adopted unanimously. Smook also congratulated CAO Bob Beck on this being his 10th anniversary as CAO for Beaver County. ICF Agreements with Viking Ratified Beaver County Council ratified four separate agreements with the Town of Viking under the Inter-Municipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) mandated by the Municipal Government Act. The ICFs have to be done between Beaver County and all its adjacent municipal neighbours. The agreements with Viking include: - Maintenance of Range Road 130 and Twp. Rd. 480 on a cost recovery basis; - Road construction on an as required basis only, cost recovery; - Routine maintenance of the Viking Airport on a cost shared basis using a shared services population ratio; - Routine maintenance of the Viking Cemetery using an annual $1,000 grant. Blackfoot Grazing Reserve Tanzy Infestation Council directed administration to bring back a report on the Blackfoot Grazing Reserve Tansy infestation to a future meeting for grant consideration.

Beaver County Chronicle, October 2, 2019 - 3
Beaver County Councillor refuses to endorse Rail Safety Week Patricia Harcourt Rail Safety Week was declared in Beaver County despite Councillor Barry Bruce's refusal to endorse the proclamation for Sept. 23-29. The Division 4 councillor stated bluntly: "I'm opposed to it," calling the proclamation, "window dressing for CN." Bruce felt the railway company was using the proclamation to try and tell the public "how safe they are." To that, he disagreed. "There are some glaring safety issues that don't seem to concern CN," he said, during the Sept. 18 council meeting. Bruce said farmers can't get their equipment across certain tracks and "have to travel miles around," because CN only replaced a crossing timber on only one of two tracks. "A lot of people who have to live along the (train) lines laugh themselves silly," he said.
He also pointed out that "Beaver County pays for the inspections," adding: "It should be Beaver County Safety Week…It's ludicrous for CN to take the credit." Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) pointed out that the group Operation Lifesaver promoting the campaign are out to educate the public and make them aware of hazards around rail property and trains. The awareness campaign is done in cooperation with the Railway Association of Canada and Transportation Canada, as well as other groups around the country. "To me, the request is more to support Operation Lifesaver and educate the public about safety," said Smook. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) agreed that Operation Lifesaver "is a non profit lifesaving organization," who conducts these awareness campaigns for both CN and CP,
and others. "It's CN putting this on," said Hrabec, adding the organization operates out of the United States. "I understand and I agree our relationship with CN is not as rosy as it could be," said Hrabec, "but we're both here and we aren't going anywhere…CN doesn't seem to want to come to the dance with us but I have hope." Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) joined in that take on the subject. "First of all, this isn't about CN," he said, suggesting: "Let's use this as a stepping stone." "I'm all for safety," said Bruce, but felt the message of not "messing around with a train" redundant and "leaves a bitter taste in my mouth." Bruce voted against the motion by Smook to declare the proclamation. In favour were Kallal, Hrabec, Smook, and Dale Pederson.

Beaver County's Agricultural Service Board strives to prevent Clubroot from establishing within the County and to control any existing infestations. Currently, the County is conducting field surveys to detect infestations as per Alberta Agriculture surveying protocols. Sanitation practices are used while County employees are sampling fields. Beaver County also encourages producers to sample their own fields. Sampling tips may be found at www.clubroot.ca. With early detection, growers, custom operators and others who visit the field can take steps to contain the spores and protect their own fields and those of their neighbours. If Clubroot is found while sampling, please contact the Agriculture Department at (780) 663-3730.

This time around, there will be both residential and commercial categories for the contest. The town’s community Christmas will take place about a week before the light contest,
Wednesday, Oct. 9, to hear people’s concerns about rural crime. The event in Camrose will be at the Norsemen Inn from 7 to 9 p.m. An online survey can be completed, a link to this can be found at: https://www.alberta.ca/ru r a l - c r i m e engagement.aspx The survey is open until Oct. 31. It covers issues such as community safety and policing, and crime-reduction matters. which will be held in mid-December. There were also discussions of people on one residential street wanting to do their own version of ‘candy cane lane,’ as well as the merits of carollers in a hay wagon being part of the festivities. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Lefsrud. Council passed a motion by Councillor Laurel Weisgerber for the town to put on the competition again this year.

Irma News
IRMA NEWS By Marjorie Lawson The new school facility will not open until later in the month of O c t o b e r. The public library is now planning to be closed from October 2125 to allow for the move. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Bill and Wendy Holt celebrated Bill's milestone birthday by taking in the Elton John concert in Edmonton. Other Irma residents also enjoyed the concert. A large crowd enjoyed a barn dance on Saturday evening at Christopher and Shayna
MacKay' s new facility. Preschool will open in the old school this week due to the moving delay. Most people were dismayed to see snow on the ground on Monday morning. Better conditions by midweek should allow for a return to harvest activities.
The sales goal for the annual Scholastic Book Fair was $3,000 and sales exceeded that amount by $1,000! This means that 70 per cent of that amount will be returned to the school classrooms in books and materials. Thanks to all for their generous support.
