The Sutter, Amundson, and Hafso kids took great initiative over the Brettzky Hockey Challenge weekend to sell friendship bracelets they had made themselves and raised $302 for the Brettzky. They are pictured with their dads who played for the Ribstones team (shown in back, from left): Brett Sutter, Tyler Amundson, Robbie Amundson and Eric Hafso; and Brettzky Organizing Committee member Brandi Bird (in front at far left).

The 9th Annual Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge took place Aug. 8-11 at the Viking Carena Complex. “It was another successful weekend of hockey and community spirit while raising money for our community,” said Todd Ritchie, one of the organizers. The Brettzky ‘A’ Final winners were the team called Wild Rose AGI. This was the team’s second Brettzky trophy. Wild Rose AGI defeated Men With Wood in that final 7-3. The Gassed Kings won the Brettzky ‘B’ Final, with this being their second Brettzky trophy after defeating the Eagles 11-7. The weekend wrapped up with four semi-final matches on Sunday, followed by the ‘B’ Final and ‘A’ Final which chose the championship teams. Twelve

teams competed in this four day tournament. Other activity that weekend included a meet and greet at the Multiplex Thursday night to kick off the games and other events. On Friday night, an All-Star Female hockey game was the featured entertainment at the Carena. The next day the Viking and District Agricultural Society held a pancake breakfast in the morning at the Carena. The Brettzky week consisted of a successful sold out four-day Brettzky Hockey Camp followed by the four-day Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge men’s recreational hockey tournament. “All the money raised in the Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge goes directly to organizations involved in youth sports and activities and organizations which contribute to the wellness of the Viking community,” said Ritchie.

Saturday night, the Viking Multiplex was the venue for a banquet for players and sponsors, followed by a live/silent auction and music by Brad Saunders and his band. “The Brettzky Organizing committee would like to thank the Viking community for continuing to support the Brettzky by volunteering, sponsoring, attending, and merchandise,” he said, adding: “It takes the whole community to put on an event like the Brettzky and the support we get is outstanding.” Next year marks the 10th annal Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge and planning for this milestone event is already underway. “We plan on making the 10th Brettzky extra special,” said Ritchie. “Mark your calendars for the Brettzky Hockey Camp on August 4-7, 2025 and the Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge on August 7-10, 2025.”

Province continuing to build Heritage Fund

Books

What’s new at the library this week! The Reaper Follows A Novel. Graham, Heather. Deep in the Florida Everglades, the body of a woman is discovered in pieces, presumably ravaged by an alligator. Soon, dozens of oil drums emerge amid the river of grass. Each one packed to the brim with body parts. When the disturbing trail of clues signals these slayings are just the beginning, FDLE special agent Amy Larson and her partner, FBI special agent Hunter Forrest, will have to return to where it all started before it's too late. Hunter and Amy have only one chance to stop it, even if it means sacrificing each other.

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians : True Stories of the Magic of Reading. Patterson, James. Booksellers and librarians are superheroes, saving lives every single day. Here are their amazing, inspiring true stories as told to storyteller, James Patterson. Enter a world where you can feed your curiosities, discover new voices, find whatever you want or require. This place has the magic of rainbows and unicorns, but it's also a business. Meet the smart and talented people who live between the pages - and who can't wait to help you find your next favourite book. The Twilight Garden A Novel. Adams, Sara Nisha. In a small pocket of London, between the houses of No.77 and No.79 Eastbourne Road, lies a neglected community garden. It was a beautiful thing once, a little oasis in a bustling city for neighbors by day and the local foxes at twilight. Now it’s overgrown and neglected, an empty patch of greenery lost to time. Once a sanctuary, the garden’s gate is now firmly closed. And that’s exactly how Winston at No.79 likes it – anything to avoid Bernice, who has moved in next door with her young son. Their houses may share the garden, but they’re not exactly neighborly. But then a mysterious parcel drops on Winston’s doormat. It contains no note, only a bundle of photographs of the garden in bloom many years ago—vibrant with flowers, filled with people from every corner of the community. Is someone trying to tell them something? The seed of an idea is planted… Somewhere out there, a secret gardener made a decades-old promise to keep the community’s spirit alive. Now it’s time for The Twilight Garden to come out of hibernation.

Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency As your MLA, I am often asked about the government’s investment strategy for the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund (Heritage Fund). I am proud to share with you how our government is diligently working to ensure a prosperous future for all Albertans through strategic investments and responsible financial management. Our government is committed to getting the job done for Albertans by saving for future generations, paying down the debt, and balancing the budget. Central to this effort is the Heritage Fund, our province’s long-term savings account, which we are dedicated to growing for the benefit of all Albertans. The Heritage Fund was established in 1976 to collect a portion of Alberta’s non-renewable resource revenue, with the foresight of benefiting future generations. While allocations to the fund were reduced in the 1980s, recent amendments to the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund Act included in the Financial Statutes Amendment Act have made it easier to grow the Heritage Fund. These amendments allow investment income generated by the fund to be retained within the fund, creating a solid foundation for its growth. As of March 31, 2024, the Heritage Fund’s asset value stood at $22.9 billion, marking a significant year-over-year increase of $1.7 billion from March 31, 2023. This growth

trajectory is forecasted to continue, with the fund’s value expected to reach $25 billion after this year - the largest amount in the Heritage Fund’s history. Over the last two fiscal years alone, we have seen an impressive increase of over $6.3 billion in the fund’s value. Our government’s commitment to growing the Heritage Fund is unwavering. We intend to retain $1 Billion in investment earnings within the fund and deposit an additional $2 billion from the Alberta Fund. These strategic decisions are aimed at maximizing returns for Albertans and ensuring the fund’s growth benefits future generations. Looking ahead, we are excited to announce that later this year, we will be releasing our plan to grow the Heritage Fund to between $250 billion and $400 billion by 2050. This ambitious goal underscores our dedication to creating a prosperous future for all Albertans. Our investment decisions are guided by the principle of achieving the highest returns for Albertans, while also fostering long-term prosperity for future generations. The Heritage Fund is more than just a savings account it is a testament to Alberta’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and prudent financial planning. By growing this fund, we are ensuring that future generations will have the resources they need to thrive, while also addressing our current fiscal challenges. Thank you for your continued trust and support.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A shout out to Brettzky’s organizers Dear Editor: An open letter to: Brettzky Committee Members; This past week marked the 9th Annual Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge in Viking. It was great to see all of the kids and families for both the Hockey Camp and the Tournament busy in the Carena and in our community. I was also in attendance at the Saturday night supper and dance, helping with the Silent and Live Auctions. In the variety of items for the auction, I saw so many businesses and individuals make very generous donations. The meal that night was amazing, and during speeches and the acknowledgment of the many donations of time, monetary items, and other groups who supported the Camp and Tournament this week my attention was drawn to the committee volunteers. In previous years as Recreation Director, I was able to be more involved with the Brettzky Committee planning and supporting what they needed from the Town. These past years, now that my role has changed, other Town of Viking staff have stepped up. I wanted to share my thoughts; but more, I wanted to share what I felt that entire week. The admiration I

felt towards our Brettzky volunteers was overwhelming. In these volunteers I could see the pride they have for our community and for what the Brettzky event has done for many of Viking’s organizations. Since the first Brettzky Tournament, the Brettzky Committee has distributed close to $300,000, and with the funds donated this year, this number will only grow. There are not many communities that could do what ours does every year. Volunteers are what makes both Brettzky and our community successful and keeps each and every one of us linked together. It’s what makes Viking a great place. We are a small community with deep roots, many generations, and new members choosing our community to live, thrive and grow with us. I also want to encourage you to volunteer in some way. There are so many organizations and ways that you can make a difference. Volunteers are needed in every capacity, in every community. A sincere thank you to the Brettzky Committee for another successful year! Sincerely, Doug Lefsrud, Town of Viking, CAO

WORD ON THE STREET

RCMP respond to theft complaint in Bruce Barb Chrystian 780-385-0631 On August 5, police received a complaint of mischief at a residence in Bruce. The complainant advised her birdhouse had been cut down by someone but when police attended they did not find evidence to prove if the damage was intentional or caused by wear and tear. That evening, police received a report of an abandoned trailer located in a gravel pit in the Kinsella area. Police attended and determined the trailer had been reported stolen from a property in Strathcona County back in June. The trailer was towed and the registered owner was updated. Police have no suspects at this time. On August 6, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14.The incident had taken place the day prior and the complainant was not willing to provide a witness statement or attend court if required so police were unable to proceed with charges. That afternoon, police were advised of an alarm at business in Viking. Police spoke with an employee at the location who advised all was fine and the alarm was false. On August 7, police received a complaint of a single vehicle collision near Kinsella. Police attended the location and spoke with the driver who advised his tire had blown causing him to lose control of the vehicle and strike a guardrail. He sustained minor injuries and was treated on site by EMS. During the early morning hours of August 8, police received a complaint of a break and enter in progress at a residence in Kinsella. The com-

plainant called back a short time later to advise police were not required as his motion sensors had gone off on their own and no break and enter had actually occurred. Later that morning, police received a complaint of a suspicious person in Kinsella. The complainant advised he had seen a male at his residence on his security cameras and was concerned he was trying to break into his house. While police were enroute to Kinsella, the complainant called back to advise police could disregard as he had learned the male in question was distributing church pamphlets throughout the community. That afternoon, police received a complaint of a theft in progress at a rural property south of Bruce. Police attended and determined the incident was not a theft but rather a civil dispute over property between family members. The situation was mediated and police had no grounds to proceed with any charges. On August 9, police

received a report of a male attending a residence where he was not welcome. Police spoke with the complainant and provided information on how to obtain an Emergency Protection Order if she had concerns for her safety. The complainant did not want any further police action at this time. That afternoon, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle parked in an approach north of Viking. Police spoke with the owner of the vehicle who advised he had parked it there while swathing grass in the nearby ditches. The complainant was updated. Later that day, police received a complaint of damage at a gas station in Viking. Police learned that a week ago a customer had driven away and damaged a pump hose. The driver had stopped and spoke with the owner and they had come to an agreement on the value of the damage and the driver had made a partial payment but now wouldn’t return the owner’s calls and had made no further pay-

ment. Police advised the complainant that this matter was civil in nature and police had no grounds to pursue any charges. Also that day, police were dispatched to a vehicle fire north of Viking. Police spoke with the driver who advised the vehicle had experienced some type of mechanical issue and then caught on fire. He did not sustain any injuries and the fire was extinguished by the Viking Fire Department. During the early morning hours on August 10, members were on patrol in Viking when they noticed a disturbance taking place outside of the local bar. All parties were told to depart the area and they complied. No charges were laid. Late that night, police received a complaint that an event going on in Viking was getting rowdy and there were concerns a fight was going to erupt. Police attended and removed one male without incident. No charges were laid. Viking RCMP

Holden Legion hosts another successful pig roast event Kari Janzen Staff Reporter

The Holden Legion held their annual pig roast on Saturday, August 10, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the

pork supper. About 135 people attended, including Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. The roast can feed 300 people, but Legion President Ernie Rudy said they prepare a meal for

150 every year. The 50/50 draw reached $275, and funds raised from the event go towards local groups and costs of the Legion. The Legion currently has over 35 members.

MCSNet offers $1,000 scholarships John Mather Staff Reporter

Grade 12 students entering a post secondary education in Computer Science or a related field are being encouraged to apply for a $1,000 scholarship being offered by internet provider MCSNet. Rhonda Lafrance, marketing officer for MCSNet, said the deadline for this year’s scholarship program is Aug. 31. The scholarships are available to students in the MCSNet service area which extends from Wandering River in northern Alberta, to and from the edges of Edmonton on its east side to the Alberta border and south to the Provost area.

An application form and full information about the program is available on the MCSNet website MCSNet.ca. “They have to live in our service area, but don’t have to be attending a post secondary institution in the area,” added Lafrance. The applicants have to be Grade 12 graduates who are attending post secondary institutions. There are four scholarships available. Lafrance said the program has been offered for the past three years and the number of people applying keeps growing. “Applicants have to write an essay and there is a weighted part consisting of academic marks

and community involvement also,” she said. A letter from the principal or guidance councillor must be submitted along with confirmation of acceptance at a post secondary institution. The scholarships are awarded during the first term. Lafrance said this is to ensure the recipients of the scholarship are actually enrolled in school and attending classes. She said there is no formal ceremony for awarding the scholarships because the winners could be at different institutions across the province or country. “We generally just send the cheque to them,” she said.

Mental health pilot extended until next June in Alberta schools George Lee Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

Extra funding announced Tuesday recognizes the complexity and regional diversity of mental health needs in Alberta’s schools, Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides said. The top-up of the Mental Health in Schools Pilot adds $6.7 million to a round of funding set to end in December. Affected are programs in 59 rural and urban school authorities. “The main purpose here is that we recognize that mental health is a top priority for many students and that we need to do as much as we can to help support students’ mental health,” Nicolaides said in a Local Journalism Initiative interview for rural Alberta publications. “So we are really happy to be in a position to provide some new investment to keep these programs operating a little longer.” The announcement gives extra life until the end of the school year to funding for a range of initiatives — like the hiring of mental health therapists by the Livingstone Range School Division in southern Alberta; professional development for teachers and other school staff in Buffalo Trail Public Schools in the east-central reaches of the province; and courses in mental health awareness, coping strategies and reducing stigma for students, parents and staff in the Peace River School Division in the north. Nicolaides, the representative for CalgaryBow, said that the funding allows the province to gather more insight into what programs and initiatives are effective.

But he noted that broad solutions aren’t always applicable from one jurisdiction to another. “I wouldn't profess to be an expert on what those differences are, as a born and raised Calgarian, but I do know that the challenges can be quite unique for families and students in our rural communities,” Nicolaides said. “I think that a real and important dynamic behind these pilots is that these are local solutions.” The announcement affects the pilot’s first call, which launched in December 2022. A second call of 20 more pilot programs runs out of funding in June 2025. School authorities evaluate their communities and student profiles to come up with mental health programming. “It's not a one-size-fitsall approach. It's 79 different approaches to help recognize unique needs.” Differences go beyond a broad rural-urban divide. “When we say rural community, you know, a community just outside of Edmonton is very, very different from other rural communities. And there are vast differences in space between northern Alberta communities versus other parts of the province,” the minister said. “There are big nuances and complexities that need to be taken into account. And I think these pilots allow us to do that.” Public, separate, francophone, public charter, accredited and funded independent school authorities, and First Nations education authorities were all eligible to apply. Also, Budget 2024 included $1.5 billion over three years for specialized learning grants, which allow school authorities to provide students with

psychological, socialemotional and other wellness support, including access to mental health workers. Nicolaides said his hope is that Alberta Education learns of both broad and individualized ways to help teachers and schools address mental health. He said: “There's no question our classrooms are becoming more complex as the days go by Continued on Page 15

Happy Wanderers, a Beaver County senior women’s group that began in 2019, continues to provide opportunities for women to socialize and do fun things. “Attendance has increased, and we are once again booking events once a month,” said Loretta Kroeker, Chair. “When everything closed for Covid, we stopped for two years.” Kroeker said Happy Wanderers came to life when someone approach her with an idea. “In the later part of 2018, a community member approached me with a statement, ‘Loretta, you know everybody in the community, you should start some kind of outing for the senior women in this area.’ And so that was the seed for Happy Wanderers. On January 9, 2019, I met with the then-FCSS director Ruth Gill and AHS Health Promotion Facilitator Katherine Gagnon, to assess the need for such an initiative. We discussed logistics of funding, transportation, target audience, event planning, and last but not least, a name,” she said. Kroeker said they put out a survey, looking to reach as many women as possible, and they received a positive response. “We distributed a survey to as many women as we could to see what their interests were. We were

amazed and thrilled at the response. On January 30, 2019, we began organizing. We brought together a committee of myself as chair, Carol Rurka as secretary, and members at large, Lucy Anderson, (Tofield) and Nola Herrick and Marilyn Strilchuk (Ryley). Marion Regehr was later recruited to be the treasurer. Tofield Beaver County West Family and Community Supports Services (FCSS) provided ‘in kind’ assistance with printing, making tickets, posters, phoning and much more through the assistance of Jamie Sutton,” she said. Rurka was the one who suggested the name Happy Wanderers, and Kroeker said the name has proved very suitable. “Our first event was a low-key breakfast brunch at the Casino, since we had not addressed the funding issue yet. Our committee put down some guidelines, such as, if mobility was an issue, we would accept them for travel if they brought a caregiver to help with a walker or wheelchair. I rapidly investigated where grant funding could be made available for assistance with transportation needs. We applied to the County of Beaver, Claystone, Busy B Bargains and Clean Harbors. All were very receptive in assisting with isolation issues, income issues, and gave generously to our initiative.” Kroeker said. When the pandemic shut things down in 2020, Happy Wanderers did not

plan any events for two years. “Suddenly, women remembered and started asking when we were going to resume the trips they had come to appreciate. Things were hard to get going again; we had to look for new methods of transportation. Enthusiasm was hard to renew, as the committee now knew all the work involved. But start we did,” Kroeker said. More women have heard about Happy Wanderers, and are joining the trips. An average outing consists of 15-35 women. Kroeker

says when she asked some of the women why they come to events, they said it’s because it’s fun. “Our information is spreading, and we have enjoyed participating women from Round Hill as well as Viking and Bruce. Some of our events that we have attended are, and we always stop for a restaurant lunch of choice, Chipman Dinner Theatre, Peter Lougheed Theatre in Camrose, Greenland Christmas Market, Bountiful Market in Edmonton, Smoky Lake, Mayfield Dinner Theatre

Pumpkin Festival, Jubilations Dinner Theatre, Ellerslie Garden Centre, Daysland Palace Theatre, Telus World of Science, and A Tribute to Elvis, to name a few,” Kroeker said. If anyone is interested in joining, Kroeker said to watch for posters. “If anybody ever talks about it, we rushed to get their email. We have a big list. We try to always give advance notice, and we also put posters up,” she said. Happy Wanderers is open to women who are 55

years or older, though Kroeker said most of the attendees are in the 65-70 age range. “We don't want to insult people by saying, ‘you're old,’ but 55 is sort of the senior start,” she said. The Happy Wanderers committee currently consists of Kroeker as Chair, Lucy Anderson as secretary, Marion Regehr as treasurer, Donna Machahonic, and Pat Kowalchuk. Kroker also said they continue to receive ongoing support from Tofield Beaver County West FCSS.

New Seniors Connector program seeks local volunteers Kari Janzen The newly introduced Seniors Connector Program in Beaver County is looking for volunteers in Holden to help with light housework and yardwork, among other tasks. “The Seniors Connector Program is a pilot project with the federal government created to help vulnerable, low-income seniors living within Beaver County age at home with dignity,” said Seniors Connector Lynnette Warawa. “We are working to connect these seniors with volunteers in their community or rural area to improve their quality of life and help them stay in their homes as long as possible,” she said. Warawa said grant funding was received in October 2023 and the program was officially launched in Beaver County in February. “The Tofield/Beaver County West FCSS office partnered with Viking/Beaver FCSS and we applied through the Town of Tofield for the Age-Well at Home

Grant which is funded in part by the Government of Canada,” she said. “We service all of Beaver County. In Holden I am presently looking for volunteers to do some light housekeeping, and dog walking for a couple of local seniors, however there are other things that may come up like lawn cutting or minor household repairs, or even delivering groceries,” said Warawa. In order to become a volunteer, those interested must undergo an intake interview, as well as provide current record checks. “To become a volunteer with the program, you will need to call me, or visit me at an FCSS office to do an intake interview. I also need a clean Criminal Record Check and a Vulnerable Sector Check, unless you are under 18. We love volunteers of all ages,” Warawa said. A big part of what the Seniors Connector Program does is prepare meals for vulnerable seniors within the County. “We do meal prep workshops monthly and prepare around 60

meals and desserts each time,” Warawa said. While they are currently looking for volunteers in Holden, Warawa said they are always looking for volunteers. “It is a great program to fill your heart and feel very rewarded. Our seniors are so grateful for help with small tasks they may be struggling with around the home. Something simple like taking the garbage out

or vacuuming can make their day a whole lot easier, and reduces the risk of hurting themselves. It is so amazing to watch relationships being built among the seniors in our program and our volunteers who thought they were just doing good deeds, but are coming out with a whole lot more,” Warawa said, adding that mileage is covered for trips where volunteers need to travel out of their area.

4 - Beaver County Chronicle, August 14, 2024

Crops mature early due to intense July heat poorer crops cut for animal feed Moisture levels improve recently to help crop development Patricia Harcourt Mid-August signals the impending activity of harvesting crops in the heartland of Alberta and in Beaver County in particular. The provincial crop report for August 9 states that the area has had recent rains last week that “are expected to support yield expectations by helping seed to fill as the crop matures.” At this stage, half the major crops in the northeast region are rated as good at 50 per cent; and 42 per cent are rated as fair, for a total of 92 per cent doing well. At both ends of the spectrum, eight per cent are considered poor with no crops surveyed that rated excellent. Those crops expected to provide poor yields that will be used for animal feed. Similarly, this region is getting good subsurface moisture for 40 per cent and fair subsurface moisture for 42 per cent for a total of 84 per cent of crop land being either good or fair in the moisture department. Another 18 per cent of land has poor moisture levels with no excellent levels to report. In fact, the province in total received much needed rain in the past week due to widespread thunderstorms. “This provided relief for crops which have been stressed due to prolonged period of high temperatures,” said the report.”The rain is expected to help later seeded crops meet yield expectations and promote growth in parched hay and pasture fields.” High heat experienced throughout much of July in this part of the province has resulted in crops maturing quicker than normal development would expect. Due to the intense heat last month, crops are maturing ahead of historical averages, states Alberta Crop Report. As examples, spring wheat and barley are in the early stages of dough development, and oats is at the late stage of milk development. “Reduced pasture and hay growth through the July heat

wave is resulting in difficult decisions to be made with regions noting that some producers are choosing to silage their poorer crops to improve their supply of livestock feed.” And provincially, crop conditions have continued to decline by three per cent since the previous week. As of last week, 46 per cent of crops in Alberta are in good or excellent condition compared to the five-year average of 56 per cent. Growing conditions have dropped in the Northeast region as it has in most regions, except for the Peace region. “Specifically, the Northeast region saw the most significant deterioration, down by eight per cent, followed by the South region with a three per cent decline and the Central region which has declined by two per cent. This compares to northern regions in the Northwest and Peace, with only marginal declines. On the good news side, there have been cooler temperatures and more rainfall of late that the crop report states has improved the provincial surface soil moisture. This has resulted in surface soil moisture ratings are good to excellent in 40 per cent of areas in Alberta - a weekly increase of seven per cent. Regionally soil moisture rated good to excellent

in 35 per cent of the South, which is unchanged over last week. The Central region has experienced an eight per cent increase in moisture levels at 38 per cent. And the Northeast region is also up by seven per cent in soil moisture levels, at 41 per cent. There were “significant” moisture level increases in the Northwest and Peace regions. The crop report also reported that “regional sub-surface soil moisture is good to excellent” compared to last week. In the Northeast region, the levels are up six per cent to 40 per cent. Overall, the province’s sub-surface soil moisture is rated good to excellent in 30 per cent of cases, which is up three per cent in improvement from the previous

week. The prognosis for pasture conditions is a reported slow decrease in quality due to dry hot conditions since the beginning of July. The conditions have dropped two per cent over the previous week, and are set at 40 per cent for this reporting week. In the Northeast region, pasture conditions have dropped from 45 per cent rated good to excellent to 41 per cent. Provincial tame hay is rated 34 per cent as good to excellent which is down two per cent from last week’s 36 per cent. In the Northeast, the tame hay rating is good to excellent in 24 per cent, a drop from the previous week’s 29 per cent.

Need for speed? Alberta RCMP says take it to the track Kari Janzen

Staff Reporter

Alberta RCMP has suggested that drivers who feel the need to exceed the posted speed limit, especially motorcyclists, instead scratch the itch at the race track. “Modern motorcycles are extraordinarily powerful and capable of extreme acceleration and high speeds. In a controlled environment, like a race track, there is little that is more exhilarating. On public roads and highways, there is little that is more dangerous,”

the media release says. The risk factors listed in relation to driving on public roadways include the behaviour of other drivers, road condition changes due to debris, oil, gravel, or moisture, braking and handling characteristics of the motorcycle relative to the road surface, wildlife, mechanical fitness of the motorcycle, weather, and road visibility. “Whether you are riding a cruiser, an adventure bike, or a sport bike, it is important to understand that the same risk

factors exist for any category of rider. These risks are controlled for an environment like the race track, and should something happen, safety personnel are only a few seconds away. Conversely, on public roads, these risk factors remain high,” the release says. “The Alberta RCMP want to remind motorcyclists to stay defensive, attentive, and diligent with regards to safety, and that includes resisting the temptation to squeeze the throttle for too long. Alberta is home

to several top-notch motorsport facilities. Your Alberta RCMP recommends taking your

need for speed to one of these fine places. You might even find one of us making passes or

turning laps out there. “Please slow down, and take it to the track.”

Another busy weekend in the village as Irma hosted the female U19 Westerns. There were ball teams here from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Langley Xtreme beat the Vancouver Wildcats 6-5 in a very exciting final.

Alberta woman works with historical organizations to preserve old elevator Jesse Boily Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

What once numbered in the thousands and were described as giants, sentinels, landmarks, and iconic in prairie imagery are nearly gone. Only a few hundred grain elevators remain in Alberta, which is why one local wants to see a unique elevator on her land preserved. “If you look around the landscape, there's not much left for elevators anymore,” said Erin Burns Well. Erin moved onto her land northeast of Grande

Mental Health Pilot Continued from Page 7 than they were in the past. More students have mental health challenges, learning disabilities, even challenges with English, as we welcome more and more Albertans. That creates a more dynamic environment in our classroom. “So of course, when our

Prairie about a year ago and wants to see the grain elevator that sits on it preserved. In her research, she found that one of the best ways to preserve one is to use it. One small problem: She's not a farmer. She hopes to find some to help preserve a piece of Peace country history. Erin is no stranger to the elevator; she grew up with it, and the man who built it was like a grandfather to her. Dick Bacon and his wife Fay moved to the farm in 1951. Dick would then go on to build the elevator in

1962 while sourcing the lumber from the Forestry Trunk Road the summer before. He put the lid on in November 1961. Erin believes the elevator has been inactive for at least 20 years, but it could be more. Walking into the structure is like entering a time capsule. Calendars from 1967 hang on the wall, an homage to its early days. Scales and samples remain as if they were used only last season. Some repairs are needed, and Erin says she and her partner plan to begin this summer, fixing the ramps, replacing the tin roof and “we're going to put another wind sock on it like there

teachers need to spend more and more time dealing with these other issues, it can take away from the learning experience.” Addressing that complexity is also represented in new school board funding announced in the current budget, he said. “It’s our hope is that with these mental health pilots and with this infusion of new money as well we can help give students the tools, resources and

access to professionals that they need to be able to overcome any mental health concerns that they may be experiencing.” Good results on the mental health front for students will ultimately help them succeed academically and later in life, Nicolaides said. “So we do hope this will help move the needle in the array of complex challenges that we are seeing in our classrooms today.”

child when her father would bring his picker truck and help Dick do the roof on the elevator. This summer, her dad will be around again to help her maintain it. “When I was a little kid, Faye, my sister, and I would be in here, and we'd make sandwiches for all the guys out there farming. We used to bring sandwiches, lemonade, and everything out to the field. “I remember having the thought one day that I'm going to bring my husband lunch in this field one day.” She said the fields now

always was in the past.” Now only a ring that once housed a sock moves with the wind above the prairie giant. “The Bacons were just such important parts of my childhood,” she said. Keeping a bit of their history alive is important to her. “That's a big building showcasing a lot of hard work and a lot of that pioneer spirit, and to see that get pushed down to build another shop or just to see it come down from neglect isn't something we want to see.” She remembers being a

have been turned into an industrial park, but she has brought her husband a sandwich to his shop in the park. “That's where the field was, so I guess I was kinda right,” she laughs. Erin is working with historical organizations to find information on the elevator and how to preserve it. Not much is available. “We don't want to make a profit off of it. But we also don't want to see it go to waste. So any footprints that walk through it just helps keep it alive,” said Erin.
