Biggest Brettzky Yet Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Seventh Annual Brettzky Hockey Challenge was a highly successful event again this year and many think it will be the biggest Brettzky yet.

From Thursday to Sunday hockey fans were able to watch games culminating Sunday afternoon with the Wildrose AGI winning the A Final 3-1 against TheClub, and the Gassed Kings taking home the B Final against the Men With Wood team 10-5.

Friday night’s big event was the 2022 Red Wings Hockey Club Young Stars Game involving Team 1 (white jerseys) versus Team 2 (black jerseys).

The puck drop was performed by Chris Sutter with Conrad Phillips for Team White and Kori Paterson for Team Black facing off. Viking’s own Paterson is going to be playing on the MacEwan University hockey team next season.

In the end, Team White won the game 10-5. Team White was led two-goal games by Conrad Phillips, Blake Gustafson, Slade Firkus, and Zach Wilson.

Callum Gau scored two goals for Team Black. Team Black was coached by Duane Sutter and Team White was coached by Brett Sutter and Craig Squair.

Fans filled the stands to see these young hockey players with bright futures take to the ice to entertain them with their honed hockey skills.

The weekend also included a beer gardens, Kids’ Play Centre and specials at the Viking Golf Course

and Viking Uptown Bar/Hotel.

Participants, including players, families, sponsors and volunteers enjoyed a banquet Saturday night at the Multiplex, followed by a live/silent auction and a public dance featuring band Neon Smoke.

“We had another extremely successful Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge,” said Brettzky President Todd Ritchie. “It was great to see everyone come out and enjoy the hockey and Saturday night dance.

“We had a big crowd for the featured Young Stars game on Friday. We estimate between 500-600 people were there to watch some very talented young players.”

Ritchie added that the Saturday night dance also featured a special appearance on stage by country artist Gord Bamford.

“They were amazing and had the dance floor full all night,” he said, of the band.

He added: “There are no final numbers in yet, but we were able to raise a huge amount of money for our community. This is looking like our biggest Brettzky yet.”

And he expressed his gratitude to everyone who participated including all who attended and supported the event, all the sponsors, and the hockey players. Then there are all the volunteers who help put on the event.

“We couldn’t do it without you.” he said, saving a special thanks to the Brett Sutter, and the Sutter Family “for all your continued support.”

The Town of Viking received a nod “for allowing us to use our awesome Carena complex.” And the Brettzky Organizing Committee.

“This event takes 12 months of planning and our dedicated committee does an outstanding job.”

Forum well attended for Viking by-election

Patricia Harcourt Editor

All four candidates participated in a public forum at the Viking Seniors’ Centre on Monday night to help residents choose when entering the voting booth on August 23.

A by-election was called for that date when two Viking town councillors resigned earlier this year. Letting their names stand for these two vacant positions are Creeann Anderson, Phil Chicoine, Dana Ewashko and Clinton Nearing.

The capacity crowd at the centre were eager to hear from the candidates, who fielded seven questions from moderators Garry Wolosinka and Ellen Lefsrud.

The candidates were each given time to introduce themselves.

Anderson outlined her experience with people in various ways, including as a pastor, and her desire to help the community.

Chicoine said he was “a new face here in Viking,” who felt a calling to run for office.

“I feel a deep undertone in this town for a new beginning,” he said, adding a bridge between “what was” and the younger people in town.

Ewashko said he was born in Viking, and has been a member of the Lions Club since 1999 “serving the community.” Anderson and Chicoine are newcomers to the political scene in Viking, while Ewashko served a term on council prior to the last municipal election.

During that first term, he said the town was broke and couldn’t meet payroll and the council spent its four year term working to get back on track. He called for more communication and a re-

turn to live streaming the council meetings.

Nearing was born and raised in Viking, the fifth generation on the family farm. He has already served one term on a previous council which he said “gave me the knowledge of the procedures.”

Nearing said he had “no secret projects and no extreme viewpoints.” Town councillors should all have their contact information on the town website, and the town needed to get spending under control.

Question #1: What experience do you have that would be a benefit as a town councillor?

Anderson told the crowd she was nervous but went on to say: “I’m hoping to bring a different perspective,” and has been involved in several organizations and the church while in Viking.

Nearing stated:”I already have one term on council so I know how things are run,” while also serving on community organizations.

Ewashko said he had “past council experience,” and is a certified financial planner. He extolled the virtues of common sense, adding: “There isn’t enough of that.”

Chicoine said he worked in the trades and 10 years in the oil and gas field. “I don’t give up,” he said, having had health problems and four heart surgeries. “I’m here to listen, I’m here to learn.”

Question #2: What strengths do you feel you possess to effectively administer the responsibilities you will be assigned?

Anderson said she is “really good at meetings and directing people,” once she gets to know them.

Nearing said he has a willingness to work with others, cooperate with

them and doesn’t hold grudges.

Ewashko said he has been a Lions president, and knows how to run a meeting. “I know how to take the bull by the horns…and will do everything in my power to fix a wrong,” referring as an example to the national news coverage of his investigation into his

mother’s death in a local nursing home.

Chicoine said that, as a father of three children, he has “learned how to be a rock for them, a leader for them,” calling it “a tough balancing act.” Staying humble and being able to listen are important, “It’s a fine dance.”

Chicoine said he “has seen a lot of turmoil on council,” and “wants to usher in a new way,” referring to bringing in new voices to the table like young families. “I love this place and I just want to see it flourish,” he said.

Question #3: How would you promote and support the growth of our community? And what are your thoughts on implementing those plans?

Ewashko said, “If I had a definitive answer for this I would be a millionaire.” He spoke of a tax incentive to attract business, jobs and families. Previous council’s strategic plan should be carried out with this council. “It was done, it’s there somewhere and we did address this point.

We need to carry it out.”

Chicoine said he “feels a new beginning for ideas,” referring to the town changing the rules so he could run by not making a one-year residency a condition anymore. He also felt the “wonderful Carena” could be utilized much more than it currently is to give families an incentive to go to a local facility instead of going to other communities for recreation.

Other ideas included revitalizing the downtown, with the example of an ice cream shop to lure people into town, including people from other communities.

“We have good bones here,” he said, but the gap between the old and the new has to be bridged to build on it.

Anderson agreed more businesses were needed in Viking, offering the idea of free rent for a month as an incentive.

She added that a consensus would be needed for

an action plan.

Nearing said: “We have to let people know what we have, we can’t just expect people to come in and see (for themselves). There is an economic development fund that should be used for this purpose.”

Question #4: What do you feel are the most important issues facing our town right now?

Nearing said the answer to this was high taxes and failing infrastructure, pointing to the dug up street outside the seniors’ centre as an example. “Things just don’t seem to happen,” he said, even though council in the past has made plans for below surface street repairs.

The town “ran a camera down there…and most roads underneath are in the red,” he said, referring to the poor condition of the water and sewer lines.

Anderson admitted she didn’t know what the issues are even after doing extensive reading, but she is willing to learn. “I really want to dig deep,” she said. “We need to all get together on the same page and follow through on decisions.”

Ewashko said that “the most important issues” for him was the running of the town office and town staff retention.

“We’re losing good people,” he said.

Infrastructure is another problem, with the map of the underground lines showing there is a real problem.

“It’s hard to convince people to fix water and sewer lines under the roads,” he said, “when they can’t see them.” But it was important to prioritize the problems and deal with them one at a time.

Chicoine said that when his family moved to Viking from Tofield, he was told “it was a clicky town,” but he hasn’t found it to be that way. He expressed optimism at finding solutions.

Question #5: It seems apparent that council is fractured. What ideas would you bring forward to mend this and make it work in a unified

manner?

Anderson said to “lay all the cards on the table and be done with it…

Someone’s got to be the bigger person.”

Chicoine said he understands that he the servant, and “has to start from a humble beginning. It’s a purpose higher than myself.” He called for listening to others and keeping a Continued on Page 20

Working together to stop elder abuse Seniors built this province, and they continue to serve as pillars in our communities. They are the parents, grandparents, friends, neighbours, colleagues, volunteers, wisdom-granters and storytellers who play indispensable roles in our lives.

Seniors should be cherished members of our families and communities but, sadly, that is not always the case.

Elder abuse is a serious issue in our province. It is estimated one in 10 Alberta seniors is a victim of elder abuse, but any number is too many. It breaks my heart to know there are seniors who are prey to abuse that can be financial, sexual,

physical or emotional in nature. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has made a difficult situation worse by increasing seniors’ risk factors for abuse, such as social isolation.

It has never been more important to put a stop to elder abuse. This is why Alberta’s government has created a new plan, A Collective Approach: Alberta’s strategy for preventing and addressing elder abuse.

A Collective Approach outlines how we can all work together over the next five years to create a safer future for our seniors. It focuses on increased awareness, enhanced training for service

Books What’s new at the library this week!

Sparring Partners John Grisham Jake Brigance returns; a death row inmate makes an unusual final request; a dysfunctional legal family gets their day in court - but maybe not the way they envisioned it. These are just a few of the unforgettable characters readers will encounter in these three novellas.

Clive Cussler's NUMA 19: Dark Vector Graham Brown Kurt Austin and his NUMA team must unravel a new mystery.

A freighter carrying top-secret computers of unparalleled capability disappears in the Western Pacific. While searching for a lost treasure that once belonged to the fa-

providers, coordinated community response, strengthened protective laws and policies, and improved data sharing and collecting. The new strategy also includes an updated definition of elder abuse that will be consistently applied across the family violence prevention network.

This new strategy recognizes that solutions to elder abuse are best created at the community level. Communities are familiar with the specific challenges that face their seniors. They are in an ideal position to identify gaps and implement solutions.

As someone who worked in the banking industry, I

am focused on ensuring financial service professionals, frontline staff, and others who have frequent contact with seniors, know how to recognize and take action when it comes to instances of financial abuse.

Our new strategy includes working with financial service providers to inform them on how to spot and respond to this type of abuse.

Over the years, Alberta’s government has proudly made investments to support our community partner organizations that deal with elder abuse firsthand, and we continue to work alongside them in their efforts to prevent and stop elder abuse.

Elder abuse is a complex issue. It requires teamwork and collaboration across people and organizations.

The more people shine a light on this issue, the easier it will be to spot it before it happens.

I invite all Albertans to read the new strategy, and consider ways they can make a difference in their own families and communities. Maybe you can start by just talking about it with the people around you. Seniors deserve to live life free of abuse and neglect – let’s work together to make our province safer for them.

Viking Royal Purple update NOW HIRING

Dawn Hodgins

The members of Viking Royal Purple have continued their volunteer work all summer. We have decided to partner with the food bank for 12 months and purchase $100 of personal care items each month.

President Dawn made the first donation and brought toilet paper, dish soap, hand soap, lotion, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, laundry soap, body wash, tooth paste, tooth brushes, foam bath, baby wipes, etc. If any other organization wishes to partner with us, please call Dawn at 780-336-2440. The local food bank does a great job of collecting and distributing food items, but we could see a real need for the hygiene items.

For the month of August, we are collecting school supplies for the Viking School. Drop boxes are set up at Element Hair Design and Home Hardware.

Or contact any Royal Purple member. We are collecting pencils, erasers, glue sticks, crayons, pencil crayons, stickers, rulers, etc. It would be nice to fill our boxes!

We were saddened to hear of the passing of long-time member Alma Kelly. Although Alma was no longer a member, we always thought of her as still being one of our ladies!

Alma joined in 1952 and retired in 2012 due to failing health issues, a 60-year volunteer for Royal Purple. She held many chairs in our lodge and actually was part of the executive for 29 years. She also worked on many committees. She was always there to assist whenever we did a fund raiser.

Sending sympathy wishes to Alma’s entire family. We have missed your cheery smile at

many meetings these past years.

In July, we were saddened with the passing of our last charter/life member Marjorie Hanson.

Marj had joined Royal Purple in Viking in 1950 assisting to institute the new lodge in town - 72 years of volunteering. What a wonderful legacy! We believe that she had belonged to Holden Royal Purple for two years before coming to Viking. Marj held the HRL position for four terms, sat on other chairs and worked on many committees. She

was always a willing helper trying to make the lodge grow and survive. A super volunteer!

Our group attended her service and paid our final tribute to Marj by performing our funeral ceremony and laying flowers. The lodge sends sincere sympathy wishes to Marj’s family.

We will be sending $100 donation to Canadian Royal Purple and Marj’s name will be placed in the purple book of memories to be displayed at all national conventions and be always remembered in Royal Purple.

A Free Weekly Publication Serving All of Beaver County Wednesday, February August 10, Wednesday 162022, 2022Volume Volume15, 15Issue Issue327

RPAC fails to get support against Clean Harbor expansion Patricia Harcourt Beaver County will not support an appeal by RPAC regarding the province’s approval of a Clean Harbors expansion application.

RPAC stands for Ryley Public Advisory Committee, which is against an approval given by Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP), regarding Amending Approval No. 10348-03-01.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kayleena Spiess recommended that the county not support RPAC’s appeal based on the county’s previous efforts in getting concerns clarified about the expansion.

In 2018 when Clean Harbors announced the planned expansion of the landfill, the county submitted a statement of concern citing issues such as air quality, groundwater contamination, surface water run-off, mud tracking onto the public roadways, and notification of adjacent landowners.

The county received a reply addressing the concerns, and then met with Clean Harbors the following January. The statement of concern was withdrawn in February 2021 based on Beaver County confirming its concerns had been addressed.

On June 21 of 2021, AEP issued an Amending Approval 10348-03-01. Now, just over a year later, RPAC is asking county council to support its appeal of this decision by AEP. “Administration recommends that council take no position regarding RPAC’s appeal of AEP’s decision to approve Clean Harbors’ expansion application,” said Spiess at council’s August 3 meeting where the issue was addressed.

“Clean Harbors has indicated that once approval has been received, it will discuss reinstatement of its financial contribution with the county,” added Spiess.

The Clean Harbors landfill lies within the Village of Ryley at its northern edge, but the county as an adjacent entity has input into the application for development.

RPAC Chair Brian Strilchuk sent a letter to both the county and Village of Ryley Council requesting support for the appeal regarding AEP’s June 21 approval.

Strilchuk stated in the letter that the approval “allows the facility to bury hazardous waste within the shallow groundwater table and other operational changes to increase their profit margin.

“RPAC, which has a mandate to protect the safety and quality of life of the people living in the Ryley area, has filed an appeal of the 70-page approval

document with the Environmental Appeal Board (EAB).

“Although RPAC is not totally opposed to the CH amendment approval, the appeal requests that the following issues be considered and addressed by the EAB: “RPAC asks for the AEP to ensure that monitoring and inspections of the CH operations is done on a more frequent basis. The advisory committee cites a difference of such inspections to three times a week for an Ontario CH facility compared to only once every 10 years, with the last inspection in 2013.

“Another issue for RPAC is wanting greater enforcement of the operating conditions in the approval. Plus, it requests that any complaints by local residents are investigated by AEP. “RPAC wants town hall meetings with CH and AEP attending to answer questions and explain the safety hazards for local residents.

“A long standing issue for RPAC has been the hosting fee by CH which was established in 2012. It called for a review and increase in the hosting fee, with payments made to Ryley, the county, and locally impacted residents of both Ryley and the county.

“CH should re-instate the $75,000 Community Enhancement Grant that was established in 2012.

Like the county grant, this was withdrawn in recent year with CH citing lack of funds.

“RPAC also calls on the landfill operations to cover the wastes place on cells “on a regular basis” to reduce the release of hazardous vapours and particulate into the surrounding offsite area. In years past, such particulate was found floating from the landfill south into a trailer park and school grounds creating an outcry from residents. CH has since increased its monitoring of this issue.

“RPAC has requested anyone in support of their appeal to register with RPAC, as the EAB is requesting the names and addresses of area residents who do support it.”

However, Beaver County will not be supporting the RPAC appeal. A motion by Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) as per Spiess’ recommendation was passed by council August 3.

“We’ve been through the process, we’ve had our questions answered,” said Spiess, explaining her recommendation. “We’d like to move forward.”

Pederson agreed: “We’ve been through the mill on this one.”

However, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec, whose council area includes the Ryley area, thanked RPAC “for asking those questions.”

“As council we did put forward our questions,” he

said, regarding Clean Harbors’ response to the county.

However, Hrabec added that “Clean Harbors could increase inspections and address some of those concerns,” outlined by RPAC and didn’t see this as part of the appeal process.

He added that he would like to talk to Clean Harbors more about its due diligence in these matters. “The council of the time felt their questions were addressed sufficiently,” stating he “hoped Clean Harbors would come out and be in the community more.”

The responses received from Clean Harbors to the questions posed by the county in 2018 were: The facility is designed to meet AEP’s expectations regarding prevention of impacts to air quality, groundwater, and surface water, including dust and odour control, groundwater monitoring and surface water collection and testing.

Clean Harbors’ application will include development of a permanent concrete waste receiving area and additional paved roads to reduce the potential of tracking mud from the facility.

And, Clean Harbors stated in its reply to county concerns that it will encourage adjacent landowner involvement through the Ryley Liaison Committee.

This will include three delegates from county council and the public, and an open house including a bus tour of the facility.

County doubles beaver control budget - adds another $40,000 due to increase in beaver Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council approved additional funds of $40,000 for the 2022 landflood control contract for beaver control to the contractor doing this service for the county.

This year, contractor Shawn O’Shea was given a contract extension to complete beaver control services to minimize the impact beavers have on the municipal infrastructure within the county.

This renewed contract was to run from March to December of this year with a budget of $40,000.

However, Aimee Boese, general manager of community services, explained to council August 3 that the extra rain this spring and early summer has increased the beaver population, which expands and contracts yearly depending upon conditions.

“Increased moisture in the spring months has meant that there were more locations within the county that needed to be investigated and work completed,” she said, in her report to council.

“In consultation with the Public Works department, the contractor identified priority areas to help mitigate damage to infrastructure.”

The contractor isn’t as busy from August to December, she said, but this is not a typical year. “There will not be sufficient funds in the 2022 allocated budget for the program to continue without additional resources,” said Boese.

She recommended another $40,000 be allocated “to allow work to continue on the landflood contract over that period of time.”

“Administration also recommends that council review the landflood program during the 2023 budget process to determine if more resources are needed to meet strategic priorities,” she said.

This is due to increased beaver-related issues, which Boese said would require additional funding. “We have more beaver because of more moisture,” she said, noting the landflood control budget has fluctuated annually from 2018 to 2022.

“It’s difficult to know every year how much will be needed,” she said.

To that, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) asked if there could be a longer-term contract done for this and Boese said this could be discussed later regarding the 2023 budget meeting.

With that, Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) made a motion to

approve the extra $40,000 for control measures which was passed by council.

Williams added that he thought a longer term agreement was a good idea, and Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) agreed.

Council agreed that administration should look into the idea of having a longer term contract for landflood control - possibly 2023-2025 - and bring this information back during the upcoming budget process for the following year.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kayleena Spiess informed council that the contract is now on an “ad hoc” basis. “We can work on a longer term contract then bring it through the budget (process).”

However, she added that council has a tendering process for contracts to also consider.

Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) noted the contractor “does a great job…But he may not want to be tied into a longer term contract.”

“It is a seasonal contract based on the conditions,” explained Boese, taking into consideration things such as ice conditions and water levels at any given time of the year.

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) said

he has heard “there is merit in trapping in the winter.” He said it could “help get a head of the program” in the spring.

But Boese said that during the colder months the road allowances don’t hold as much water, as there might be on private lands, adding it is necessary to try and get water levels down so infrastructure doesn’t freeze.

There are also other provincial regulations from departments like Fish and Wildlife that state beaver dams cannot be damaged or removed to allow for habitat.

Municipal governments “need to be careful not to do undue harm to the lodges,” she said, upon a query by Williams. They are also not allowed to drain the water down so the beaver can’t winter in their lodges. As a nuisance species, the beaver are governed by rules that are enforced, she said.

However, Bruce said he was aware that beaver houses were not to be disturbed in winter but “you can put out traps in winter and catch more beaver.”

Bruce said he “would like to talk to the trapper to see if he wants to do winter trapping.”

“Typically, (beaver) dams are on private land where there is more standing water,” said Boese.

Range Road 182 and 195 Construction Update

Range Road 182 and 195 Construction Update The soil stabilizing for the road base with soil cement is now complete. We will soon be starting the first layer of chip seal and there may be delays as work crews direct traffic in order to work safely. There will be many loose rocks after the chip seal layer is applied and speed limits will be reduced on these roads once opened until the project is complete.

During this construction phase, portions of the road may be closed to allow crews to work safely please use another route, detours will be posted or be cautious when you need to drive through construction zones (local traffic only). Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general public.

Already this year we have had people exceeding the posted speed limit through our construction zones, endangering staff, contractors and the public.

There are potential hazards to the public and vehicles during the construction process. This can include heavy machinery, dust or mud, road material such as gravel, asphalt coatings and rock chips.

We apologize for the inconvenience that road maintenance and upgrading causes, but the same roads that receive the most traffic also need the most maintenance.

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 Days weekend hosts new Monday event ‘Kids Rodeo’

Gwyneth Gulbraa

This year at Irma Days there was a new event on Monday at the Rodeo/4H Grounds – a “Kids Rodeo.” It was very entertaining for those in attendance.

The first event was Mutton Bustin’ with thirty-two 4 to 7 year-old contestants. Jump on a sheep and hang on for as long as you can! The winners were: Scout MacKay and Kaysen Soucy.

Wild Goat Milking was the next event: catch a goat, milk it and run with the milk – don’t spill it and bring it to the judges! For this contest there were 16 teams of two. Who got their goat milked the quickest? Natalie Heimdal and Laekyn Prior. Natalie, have you been practicing at home?

Next up were the Wild Pony Races.

Here we watched 48 children aged 8-12.

There were 16 teams. The ponies were feisty.

They may have come out of the chute looking cute and calm, but the teams of three had a difficult task of getting on let alone staying on these frantic ponies!

Congratulations to Atley MacKay and

Laytyn and Nashtyn Pulyk.

Finally, the large audience had to move to Diamond Two for the “Greased” Pig Race. Two pigs were released into a throng of (70) eager children aged 4 to 12. These children knew they would get to take the pig home if they won. Maybe it would be a pet; some could already smell/taste the bacon. Laekyn Prior and Hudson Clark were the lucky winners. Townspeople heaved a sigh of relief because their children (and their neighbours’ children) didn’t win!

The day after she had the pig home Laekyn says, “My pig, ‘Bacon,’ and I are having a great time getting to know each other. Even though my parents don’t want her around, she is pretty special to me! After I caught her, I told my parents since they wouldn’t let me have a goat, I was keeping the pig!”

The Ag Society donated t-shirts and hats for the winners with Mitch Mackay organizing these events. Karly MacKay and many other volunteers provided assistance. The Allen and Newton families and Holt Transport supplied the animals.

______________________ COMING EVENTS COMING EVENTS

We put a lid on it!! Thanks to the kind and generous support of our community, we have been able to re-shingle the old train station so that we no longer have a leaky roof and damage being done to the interior. The Station Gallery and Arts Center board would like to thank all of the people who donated to our “Put a Lid on It” campaign during the past year. We raised almost $48,000, which doesn’t quite cover the cost of the project. For that reason, we have decided to continue our donation program and would sincerely appreciate any donations that continue to come in. We are also needing to upgrade the wheelchair access ramp, and do some other renovations on this old, but worthwhile building. As a non-profit organization, we are continuously struggling to fund the upkeep of the station. Please know that your financial support means the difference between keeping the Station Art Gallery and Tea House open or having to close the doors. Donations can be etransferred to vikingstationgallery@gmail.com , mailed to PO Box 997, Viking, AB Y0B4N0, or dropped off at the Tea House during the open season. Again, thank you for keeping the Viking history and heritage a priority in your lives. ___________________________ Thank you to the community of Viking for honouring the life of Marj Hanson.

Over 2,000 tickets Throughout the Heritage Day long weekend, Alberta RCMP conducted enforcement initiatives focussed on promoting traffic safety. Between July 29 and Aug. 1, the RCMP issued a total of 2,087 traffic tickets across the province.

Overall, 983 individuals were ticketed for speeding, 91 impaired drivers were removed from the roads, 44 were fined for distracted driving, and an additional

40 were found driving without proper safety belt restraints.

“The Alberta RCMP worked to make the long weekend a safe and enjoyable holiday for those out on our provincial streets and highways,” says Insp. Chris Romanchych, Alberta RCMP Traffic.

“By preventing and removing risks from the roads, the RCMP is committed to upholding safety across Alberta.”

With the kind and generous support of the community, the Viking Station Gallery organizers have been able to re-shingle the old train station. The $48,000 raised didn’t quite cover all costs, so the group is again asking for donations to keep the historical building up and running for years to come.

Station Gallery still needing funds Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking Station Gallery now has a brand new roof to keep it snug and warm from wet, wintery and other inclement weather.

That’s thanks to the contributions of a generous community who answered the call by the Station Gallery committee for help. A fundraiser called “Help Us Put A Lid On It” started last year and was very successful but more is needed.

The unique CN Station House heritage site and community arts centre is the gem of the town, located at the southern end of main street. It also houses a tea room as well as a site for artistic items and historic artifacts to be on display.

Maintaining the building through the years has always been a challenge, and the latest project of getting a new roof to preserve the valuable contents inside was yet another.

Station Gallery Board Chair Judy Acres said: “We put a lid on it! Thanks to the kind and generous support of our community, we have been able to reshingle the old train station so that we no longer have a leaky roof and damage being done to the interior.

“The Station Gallery and Arts Centre board appreciate all of the people who donated to our “Put a Lid on It” campaign during the past year. “ Acres declared: “We raised almost $48,000, which doesn’t quite cover the cost of the project. For that reason, we have decided to continue our donation program and would sincerely appreciate any donations that continue to come in.

We are also needing to upgrade the wheelchair access ramp, and do some other renovations on this old, but worthwhile building. As a non-profit organization, we are continuously struggling to fund the upkeep of the station.”

So the work isn’t quite done to complete this valuable project.

“Please know that your financial support means the difference between keeping the Station Art Gallery and Tea House open or having to close the doors.,” said Acres.

Donations can be e-transferred to the following addresses: vikingstationgallery@gmail.com , mailed to PO Box 997, Viking, AB Y0B4N0, or dropped off at the Tea House during the open season.

“Again, thank you for keeping the Viking history and heritage a priority in your lives,” said Acres.

Lovely to remain MLA for Camrose Moush John Staff Reporter

Incumbent MLA Jackie Lovely will be the face of UCP in the upcoming elections, a decision made by members over three days of voting, Aug. 46. Lovely beat Tofield resident Kevin Smook to stay in the race and will be running as the UCP candidate in Camrose constituency.

“I’d like to thank Kevin Smook and his campaign team for engaging in the political process,” Lovely said.

“Our work helped to create more interest and participation in the provincial leadership election; and campaigning allowed me to have more conversation and interaction with our constituents.

Some residents had issues that needed my assistance and I was very happy my office could help!”

Smook said, “The nomination election didn't turn out the way we had hoped but I'm proud of the efforts of our campaign team, and appreciative of the support we received in my bid for the UCP Camrose candidacy.

“We put forth some good platform ideas, some which were new and others which built off of UCP programs already in place.”

Smook added that he, “met some great people throughout the riding on this journey,” and “attracted many new members to the party during the campaign.”

“I congratulated Jackie Lovely in person on Saturday night.

“Going forward, we need to work together as a constituency to unite conservatives in order to be in a position to win the 2023 elec-

tion.

“Thank you to our campaign team, donors, and supporters and thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and vote and be part of the democratic process.”

One of the main platforms that Lovely was working on, nurse practitioners, has made her the lead on the issue, with Health Minister Jason Copping agreeing that she will be taking the reins in working with the nurse practitioners.

“I see working with these professionals as an opportunity for us to improve the quality and availability of

healthcare in our constituency and the province,” she said.

“Some individuals were having difficulty getting a new doctor as a couple left recently.”

Among the conversations that Lovely has had are about people being interested in job creation, keeping taxes low, and ensuring access to healthcare.

“These are the things I'm focused on as well; with our economy starting to boom again, there is a growing optimism out there that feels similar to 2019,” Lovely added.

“I would like to remind constituents and anyone who might

want to be a part of the UCP leadership process, and have a say in who our new Premier will be, they must

be a United Conservative Party member by Aug. 12.

“Memberships are $10 for one year, $20 for

two years, or $25 for three years.

They can go online to do so: www.united conservative.ca

Candidate Forum Continued from Page 3 person’s ego out of the mix.

Ewashko said: “The first thing everybody has to learn is the rules of the game,” which are in the Municipal Government Act. “You won’t always agree, just give your opinion and don’t hold a grudge. He added that “the important thing is to know who you answer to,” and give them a voice, gather consensus on what people want and move it forward.”

Nearing said council should cooperate with each other and not hold grudges. The last council he sat on had seven councillors and council managed to get things done.

Question #6: The CAO operated under the direction of town council. What would be your thoughts about having the CAO or a designated councillor meet with user groups, that are without town representation, on a regular basis to discuss ways that the town may assist

these groups with their operational needs?

Chicoine said: “I think that’s paramount…we need to connect with each other.”

Nearing said monthly meetings weren’t necessary but suggested “definitely get together on a regular basis;” however, he noted that councillors attending meetings have to be paid to go.

He said attending AGMs was a good idea and when “something comes up” that requires extra attention.

Ewashko also noted that the council has been shrunk from seven down to five councillors, which adds to each one’s work load. It was also an idea to have groups and organizations invited to attend council. “It’s cheaper for the town and might go a lot smoother,” he said.

Anderson said: “I think it’s important for a town representative to talk to groups. It’s also important to attend council meetings at the same time.”

Question #7: What are your expectations as a town councillor?

Nearing said: “Hopefully to get everything back on track and work for the town as a

Ewashko said the town shouldn’t “get in the business of doing business,” noting that “money has to come in from the outside.”

He added: “It sure would be nice to get main street paved,” and flowers also help.

Said Chicoine: “We need a reason to go back to main street,” including programs to attract people into town.

Anderson said that flowers and planters work, as well as painting buildings to make them more attractive.

Public Question #2: Do you have a personal agenda for joining council?

Anderson said she did not have a personal agenda. “I thought it would be nice a good experience…I want the people to have a voice.”

Chicoine said that, “to some degree it’s personal” in that he “wants to leave a legacy…It’s bigger than myself. We all need something to outlive us.”

Ewashko said: “If I do get voted in I will work hard for the community,” adding “absolutely not” to having a personal agenda.

Nearing said he “wants to

whole.”

Ewashko said: Work together, cooperate even if you don’t see eye to eye, then move on. The worst thing is not to make decisions.”

Ewashko said he expected the CAO to answer to council, “not the other way around. They have to know who is boss.”

And he wanted meetings to return online as “it helps to see what is really going on.”

Chicoine said: “We need to instill trust in council (and) we need more support for town council. We need the Carena better utilized to bring people to Viking.”

Anderson said: “People need more faith,” while agreeing with the others in their statements.

There were also three questions chosen from the audience, including the following: Public’s Question #1: What plans, if any, do you have to revitalize main street?

Nearing called for levelling sidewalks, filling potholes and tearing down derelict building.

“We don’t have to break the bank to make it picture perfect,” he said.

save the town he loves and it is in trouble.”

Public Queston #3: What is your plan to allow everyone to work as a team?

Nearing replied that “the leadership is the thing, we need a strong leader.”

Ewashko said: “We need to have an open mind, look at other opinions and play devil’s advocate.” He initially was against the solar farm, for instance, but came around when given the financial statistics.

Chicoine said that “listening to others” was key, as well as transparency “so people are held accountable.”

Anderson said it was listening in a friendly manner “without everyone jumping down everyone’s throat.”

There will be no advance polls for the by-election, so everyone voting will have to come out August 23 to choose their two candidates out of four offered.

Wolosinka strongly urged those present to exercise their right to vote, noting that two World Wars were fought to ensure this privilege is still available in our democracy.
