Chucks and Chariots in action during 3 day event in Viking

Driver Brent Lang takes his Maxwell Simmental sponsored wagon around the barrels in the chuckwagon races on Friday night at the Viking Cloverlodge Stampede grounds where some exciting chariot and chuckwagon racing action took place over three days last weekend.

Viking was the centre of attention over for the Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association (APCCA) races at the Cloverlodge Stampede Grounds August 12-14.

This year’s winners in Viking were drivers Tracey Stott on chuckwagons and Greg Bell on chariots.

Races started at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday evenings, then at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. The stands were full with spectators out to enjoy the racing action on hand at the rodeo grounds.

That included the adorable mini chuckwagon races that were held during intermission.

Once again announcer Terry Cartier kept everyone informed on all of the racing action, including the information on drivers and sponsors. He also acknowledged the efforts of all the community volunteers, including organizer Kerri Davis. He credited her dedication in helping to bring the races back to Viking after an absence of two decades - and all the local support that is needed to do it.

The event is held through the Viking Ag Society which paid tribute to “all of our generous donors, community and volunteers for helping make this event a success.”

Also thanked by name were Norm Safranka, Jamie Buttner and Dusty Hanson for their work on the stampede grounds.

The ever popular races started up again after

APCCA came to Viking for two days last year and were welcomed back by people in the area.

Now the event has already expanded to three days this year and the excitement continues to build for more of the same.

The beer gardens were open for all three racing days, with food services for hungry patrons including Food With Flair and CJ’s Fresh Squeezed Lemonade Stand.

Everyone enjoyed a pancake breakfast on the stampede grounds starting at 9 a.m. Saturday morning. People paid by donation with proceeds going to help keep the event going for another year.

Cartier says the next stop in the APCCA tour will be Westlock, followed by Sundre, Patricia and finally Millarville.

MP Damien Kurek report: First energy, now agriculture Canada’s radical-left has been focused on destroying Canada’s oil and gas industry for the last 7 years, but it is now clear they plan to use the same tactics to destroy Canadian agriculture.

This was valuable foresight shared by former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall nearly a decade ago which we are seeing play out today.

Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government recently released a policy framework that outlines significant reductions in ag-based emissions, which specifically includes a plan to see a 30 per cent reduction in the use of nitrogen fertilizer.

This would devastate Canadian agriculture and the livelihoods of many of my constituents.

I am proud to be the fifth generation to farm in Alberta’s Special Areas and we work hard to be stewards of the land to maintain it for the future, while also helping feed the world.

Unfortunately, this is seen to be offensive to the eco-radicals who have the ear of the decisions makers in Ottawa.

These decision makers have recently shared a vision for significant ag-based emission reductions that would hamper our nation’s ability to produce the crops and goods needed to feed ourselves and the world.

The Liberals have waffled back and forth on what their fertilizer reduction policy would entail. The current details are troubling, but also unclear and ill defined.

In recent weeks, the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Marie-Claude Bibeau, said they would consult with producers and provinces but clearly expect those outcomes to fit with their expectations.

That’s not consultations, that’s imposition. Thankfully a couple of days ago, the Minister finally backtracked and changed course by saying her policy would not require a mandated reduction in fertilizer use and further, claimed it was a simply a matter of being “misunderstood.”

Were the Liberals and this Minister misunderstood? No, they were not.

They simply cannot be trusted when it comes to matters like this. The evidence of which is shown by the treatment of Canada’s the oil and gas sector.

Against the will of the provinces, and in some cases, even breaking promises made during elections, Canada’s left has forged ahead with a devastating array of policies, including forcing the carbon tax on provinces, passing pipeline killing Bill C-69 and tanker ban Bill C-48, pursuing an emissions cap on

energy development, and creating an environment that is downright hostile to natural resource investment and development.

On fertilizer reductions, they may have claimed to have backed down, but the evidence and precedent suggests it won’t be for long.

To be clear, fertilizer reductions harms Canadian farmers, including many constituents, by forcing farmers to produce less, affecting the economics of being able to survive, and actually causing long term harm to the environment.

And the so called “innovations” like crop rotation, soil testing, and variable rate application that the Minister brags about adopting, in many cases, have been implemented for decades. It is common, best practise that makes both economic and environmental sense for producers. And further innovations are always welcome, and as a farmer, I can assure our federal Ag Minister these innovations are best implemented by the experts in the field, not bureaucrats in Ottawa.

chains that are stressed leading to higher prices and shortages, these events have all jeopardized food security.

Canada’s farmers have and will ensure demand for food here at home and around the world is met.

Food scarcity is already a humanitarian crisis, a health concern, and an economic issue; and ensuring Canadian farmers can do what they do best needs to be the priority.

Shutting down Canadian energy destabilized Europe and funded Russia’s war machine to attack Ukraine.

Similarly, if Canada continues down this path against ag, we will see global food security put at risk and that, simply put… means people could starve.

Canadian farmers deserve better, it’s time for a government that puts reality before fanciful activism.

Conservatives get it, let’s let farmers farm… it’s what’s best for them, it’s what’s best for Canada, and it’s what’s best for the world.

MLA Lovely apologizes, regrets essay choice Moush John Staff Reporter

Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely has recently come under fire for her role in a controversial essay contest.

Sponsored by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, the essay contest was introduced earlier in 2022, called “Her Vision Inspires,” asking young women throughout the province to submit essays. ‘Your vision for tomorrow could inspire action today.'

Lovely promoted the contest on social media, including the tag line, “Young women of Alberta: imagine yourself as an MLA and the wonderful opportunity to bring about change that it could provide.”

The contest recently came under fire as the top three entries were published online, and one of the three, the third-place winning essay, contained some controversial opinions about women’s role in society.

Third place winning contestant S. Silver wrote about women’s “unique strength: our ability to give birth.”

She went on to say how “while it is sadly popular nowadays to think that the world would be better off without humans, or that Albertan children are unnecessary as we can import foreigners to replace ourselves, this is a sickly mentality that amounts to a drive for cultural suicide.”

With regards to imagining herself as an MLA, Silver’s essay went on to say that women are not equal to men, and that their ability to bear children took priority over trying to break into “male-dominated careers.”

Lovely released a statement last week confirming that she was one of just two Alberta MLAs on the judging panel, along with Associate Minister for the Status of Women MLA Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk. Lovely went on to say, “I regret that this essay was chosen, and I apologize for my role in that,” not going into detail on what role she played in choosing the winning entries.

Lovely also has said, “As a single mother who has pursued a

wide variety of traditionally male-dominated careers, I deeply understand the strength and ability of women.

“Also, as a former ESL teacher who has hosted 56 international students, I value and appreciate the role of newcomers to our province, and will continue working to remove barriers to equity and prosperity for all.”

A r m s t r o n g Homeniuk also put out a statement after the controversy broke: “The essay contest was

intended to reflect a broad range of options from young Alberta women on what democracy means for them.

While the essay in question certainly does not represent the views of all women, myself included, the essay in question should not have been chosen.”

The legislative assembly essay winners website page was taken down and all mentions of the contest removed from its website Monday evening after controversy erupted on social media.

Buttner back on Viking council by acclamation Patricia Harcourt Editor

James Buttner is back on Viking council (pending nomination results becoming official) after gaining the nomination by acclamation, thereby cancelling a September by-election for that vacancy.

But the by-election for two other council seats is still set for Tuesday, August 23, with four candidates in the running - Creeann Anderson, Phil Chicoine, Dana Ewashko and Clint Nearing.

An all-candidates forum was held last week which Buttner attended, and he said it helped him decide to run again for council.

That, and the many residents who wanted him to return.

He filed his nomination papers on Monday, and was unaware when asked for a response that he was acclaimed as the latest Viking town councillor.

“Wow, let’s hope things can go good and we can get things moving ahead again,” he said, after the noon nomination deadline on Tuesday. “I had a lot of people approach me and ask me to run, some were begging me.

“My reasons for running will never change.

It’s unfortunate the way

things went (at the last council). I want to see our community push ahead (but) I can only do so much without help. It starts at the top.

Community groups and council have to support each other and work together.”

After leaving council in frustration last spring, Buttner ended up re-evaluating his decision.

“It was always in the back of my mind after resigning, I did some soul searching and had lots of people thank me for what I did by letting people know we’re in a serious spot.”

Then residents asked him to re-run for the office he had just vacated.

“I talked to my wife and decided to do it.”

And he comes back to council having learned from his previous experiences, he said. “Once the election for the other two council spots is done, we can get some more experience in there. I think that’s key and crucial to its success.”

He felt there was “a major disconnect” between the previous council term and the one of which he was a part, because the new council had no background information on what was done in the past or reasons for it.

But now he wants to

move forward and not dwell in the past.

“It’s a new beginning, we need to address the issues instead of bickering,” he said.”I’ll try my hardest. I’ll make mistakes, but I will own them and learn from them.”

And concerning the decision to pull the livestreaming of council meetings, Butter says he has changed his mind on that issue. “I own the decision and accept it was a bad decision,” he said. “I pushed for it to be shut down. Now I’m all for it being fixed up.”

Meanwhile, the four candidates in the upcoming by-election left to be held on August 23 gave closing statements at the forum that was packed with people at the Viking Legion last week.

Anderson said: “I don’t know that much about politics but I am willing to learn.” She cited her experience working with children and “older folks” as something that she felt could help her in that process.

Chicoine said he knows the struggles of people in town in the last couple of years.

“Covid has hit a lot of us,” he said, and people have become isolated as a result.

But he hoped Viking could once again thrive

said. “Why waste time on pipe dreams when council should concentrate on realistic expectations.”

Ellen Lefsrud, one of the people who organized the meeting, said the two winning candidates from the August 23 by-election are encouraged to talk to former mayors and councillors of Viking.

“They can give a wealth of knowledge.”

She added: “To who-

ever is elected, you represent our community.”

She also urged them to “be positive and engaging, fix what needs fixing (with) an attitude to work with fellow councillors to make Viking stronger.”

Now that there is only one by-election electing two councillors from four candidates on the ballot, residents are being urged to get out and vote on Tuesday, August 23.

Thriving means more events being held, greater use of the Carena and an increase in small businesses, he said.

Ewashko said he wanted to see council get more accomplished for the town, adding that in his first term “council had to be pulled out of the doldroms,” by “fixing other people’s mistakes.”

Now he is “up for the task,” of coming back on council and asked for cooperation to make that happen. As someone with certified financial planning experience and as a previous councillor, Ewashko said he brings “experience to the table.”

Nearing called for common sense and realistic expectations as what is needed for council going forward.

County wants resolution on nurse practitioners at fall convention Patricia Harcourt Editor

Beaver County Council wants a resolution promoting the increased use of nurse practitioners in rural Alberta to be considered at the fall Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) convention.

The proposal is being made in light of the shortage of doctors in rural areas, which is affecting seniors care in rural care homes.

Kayleena Spiess, chief administrative officer (CAO), provided council with the RMA’s resolution process, and asked at the August 3 meeting for any resolutions that council might wish administration to prepare for consideration by District 5.

RMA’s Zone 5 Chair is Beaver County’s Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec, also Division 3 councillor. Hrabec said the discussion by council was to provide more information on resolutions and find topics that can be considered by the zone to take forward to the fall convention.

He made a motion to include the use of nurse practitioners in rural areas like Beaver County, which council later passed.

“As chair of the Beaver Foundation,” said Hrabec, “we looked at options for in-house services for seniors,” within seniors housing facilities run by the foundation in the county.

“One option is using nurse practitioners,” he said, as getting doctors for these facilities is difficult. Nurse practitioners are looking for support, he added. “We feel there’s an opportunity for better service…I think it would be of benefit for all rural Albertans.”

Hrabec also said a letter of support to increase the services of nurse practitioners has

been sent to Health Minister Jason Copping.

“It’s hard enough to attract doctors to rural Alberta,” he said, calling this initiative “an opportunity for more nurses to be attracted to rural Alberta.” He noted that the previous health minister had given “a solid no” to the idea but he was hoping for a better response from Copping.

Division 2 Councillor Lionel Williams asked if there are any nurse practitioners available now in the county, and Hrabec said he knows of one at this time. But he said this would be “an opportunity to have

more of them come and give them more roles and responsibilities.”

He offered to find out if more nurse practitioners are available before the next council meeting.

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) agreed, stating he felt that more nurse practitioners are needed. He also noted that many nurses and other health care professionals are retiring resulting in the closure of emergency wards all over the country.

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1), who sits on the Tofield and Area Doctor Recruitment and

Retention Committee, said that nurse practitioners need a masters in education to work in their field and he, too, was uncertain about their availability.

Viking Historical Society car show goes back to original format Patricia Harcourt Editor

The 2022 Viking Historical Society Car Show has changed venues but kept its original format.

Held on Sunday, August 14, the show began with a pancake breakfast in the morning at the Viking Legion.

It was followed by the showing of vintage and specialized cars, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles, lined for viewing up and down main street.

The show has traditionally been staged at the end of main street at the Viking Museum.

There was a breakfast every year but a parade was not traditionally

held. Often, however, the rain made the museum grounds muddy and full of insects.

Then the society made the decision during the pandemic to hold a parade so people could safely view the cars from the street. That included the seniors in the lodge and nursing homes who came outside to watch in a safe way.

It worked out so well that the event is still being held downtown with the Legion being the central focal point.

The relaxing of health restrictions means the parade is no longer necessary, though, so the society has gone back to the previous way of showing cars on the street.

Beaver County decides to tender auditing services Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council decided to keep the auditors the county has retained over several years for 2022, but after that time other companies will be considered.

Administration had recommended appointing MNP LLP as Beaver County’s auditors for the 2022 and 2023 years.

Finance Intern Ethan Forrest said the county’s GM for corporate services would be retiring and continuity might be best for the next two years in light of this.

“The firm knows the county operations well,” he said, of current auditors MNP LLP. The report explained that MNP has been with the county for the past eight years, having been hired in 2014 for a five year contract ending on the 2018 year-end audit.

After that, a three-year extension of the contract was granted bringing the firm to the year-end of 2021.

“The 2022 year end is quickly approaching and administration is requesting council’s direction to either go to tender or to have

another extension of the current contract,” stated the report to council on Aug. 3.

Administration preferred extending the contract “one more time” for two more years, stating: “The county has an excellent relationship with the current auditors; the auditors have gained experience and familiarity with the county in performing its work; and it would maintain continuity due to staff retirement.”

In either case with - hiring a new auditor or retaining the current one - the cost of services are expected to rise as well.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said he saw the value in extending the contract to include 2023 but did not support that in putting a motion on the table for discussion.

Hrabec has been in favour of putting more professional services such as engineering, legal and financial (audit) to tender more often rather than retaining the services of a firm in the interests of continuity.

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1)

said it was possible that putting services out to tender might result in getting “a fresh set of eyes,” but added: “It might be good to test the waters, but its up to council.”

Forrest also reminded council that there are changes coming to the audit standards in 2022 and “the big undertaking” of changes to accounting coming in 2023. With this latter provincial change, all the assets in the county would have to be tabulated, he said, and “MNP

knows that better.”

In 2023, the county will have to “go back and account for all of the assets,” which he said “makes for more work…Then going forward (the county) must add new assets each year,” to that list.

Hrabec’s motion stated the county should retain MNP LLP for the 2022 year, then starting in 2023 the county would look to contract out by way of the tendering process.

The motion was carried.

Beaver County Chronicle, August 17, 2022 - 3

Beaver councillors to meet with ministers to discuss priorities Patricia Harcourt Beaver County councillors discussed a variety of concerns that could be brought forward in proposed meetings with two provincial cabinet ministers. These are Minister of Municipal Affairs Ric McIver and Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development Nate Horner.

Several topics were suggested by chief administrative officer Kayleena Spiess for Municipal Affairs, including paving of S.H. 870, the Thomas Lake drainage issue, whistle cessation at two crossings, and oil and gas assessment issues.

For the Agriculture minister, rural economic development was suggested as a prime issue for this council.

The county has been invited to meet with McIver during the Rural Municipalities of Alberta fall convention in November. Council met with McIver at the spring convention and the minister referred certain topics to Horner’s department, so a request is being made to also meet with him this fall.

At the August 3 regular meeting, council discussed their ideas regarding topics important to the county.

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) and Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) both felt the future viability of local urban municipalities was important.

“How do we advocate for their health?” asked Williams.

“Definitely a good one,” agreed Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5), with the need to explore what laws were necessary to make this happen.

CAO Spiess said this tied in with the need for rural economic development, an issue also affecting Beaver County.

Hrabec felt the viability of fire and ambulance services were also being diminished due to the cutting of grants for training programs, as well as for supplying AEDS for facilities such as seniors facilities and recreation centres.

“The grants were cut out,” he said, adding he didn’t know which provincial department was responsible. He called for a return to previous funding for training and AEDs in rural emergency services,

and local facilities.

Smook stated that Minister Horner wouldn’t be able to meet at the convention, so it was suggested taking the meeting to the Alberta Legislature. “Economic development is important to the county,” said Smook.

Pederson felt that water issues were also an important topic, and Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) agreed.

Bruce said farmers have had many water programs cut, including water grants.

Stating he believed in equality of services, he called on re-instituting the programs for farmers that the province no longer provides. He noted that “there are hundreds of wells coming up for replacement,” and the county should advocate for the farmers to the agriculture minister.

A motion by Pederson was passed for council to discuss three items with McIver at the convention.

These included the re-instatement of grants for utilities and emergency services; oil and gas assessments and the viability of smaller municipalities.

As for the agriculture minister, Hrabec felt it was important for council to meet with him before the fall convention. “It’s critical,” he said, with the federal government aiming to reduce fertilizer availability to farmers.

“It’s important to stand up for agriculture in Beaver County,” Hrabec said, referring to the feds’ “driving force (one of) restricting the kinds and number of fertilizers,” which he warned could result in the loss of 50 per cent of crop production. He also warned that this result would work its way down the chain to also affect the livelihoods of truckers and grocery stores.

“We need to advocate to our minister (that) agriculture is big in Beaver County,” he said.

Hrabec’s motion was passed which listed the following three issues as important to talk to the minister about, including: rural economic development and potential projects, such as one at Kinsella; the impact of federal regulations on farming; and, the reduction of grant funding for farmers, an example being the former shelterbelt program which was cut in past years.

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.

_____________________ HELP HELP WANTED WANTED

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.

Irma searching for new CAO NOW HIRING

Patricia Harcourt Editor

After less than two years, the Village of Irma is in search of a new chief administrative officer. The village has announced the recent departure of former CAO Rudolf Liebenberg.

Village of Irma council met June 7 in closed session to conduct a CAO appraisal as per approved council minutes on the village’s website. Liebenberg was absent at this council meeting.

A motion was passed at that time to complete the appraisal at the July 12 council meeting. A notice was placed on the village’s website the same day of this meeting stating that “CAO Rudolf Liebenberg is no longer employed by the Village of Irma.”

The village also stated: “The emails and phones will be monitored by administration on a temporary basis until the new CAO is hired.”

Since then, the village has placed an employment ad on the town website for a Chief Administrative Officer. The ad was dated July 21 and the village states it will be accepting applications until the end of August.

Mayor Mervin Firkus did not return requests from the Weekly Review as of press time for more

Monkeypox immunizations available at certain central zone pharmacies Patricia Harcourt Editor

Alberta Health announced August 10 that Albertans aged 18 and older, who self-identify as meeting the criteria, can now received the monkeypox vaccination at nine locations in the province.

Monkeypox immunizations can now be booked in Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, Edson, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and St. Paul.

Appointments must be made to get the vaccine, and anyone interested in receiving the monkeypox vaccine have to call Health Link at 1-866-3012668 to review eligibility and make the appointment.

Imvamune is a vaccine for smallpox and monkeybox prevention, and has been authorized in Canada for adults 18 and over, and are considered at high risk for being exposed to the virus.

Since June 7, the province has been providing the vaccine for those who have been in close contact with confirmed cases of monkeybox. On June 29, this initiative was expanded in Edmonton and Calgary to include those at higher risk of exposure.

“By expanding availability beyond these two cities, Alberta Health Services is further enhancing the opportunity for more eligible people in Alberta to receive the vaccine,” stated the AHS announcement.

Alberta Health also states that people who have been exposed to the infection, or are suspected of it, may also be eligible for post-exposure immunization.

People who have been exposed to the infection should ideally get immunized within four days of exposure to prevent infection, but this can be done up to 14 days after exposure.

If symptoms develop,

the person should selfisolate, seek care and get tested.

Alberta Health states that so far 2,213 people in the province are signed up to get the vaccine, with 1,498 doses given out as of last Thursday.

They are mainly taking place in Edmonton and Calgary.

So far, Alberta has 19 cases of monkeypox officially diagnosed, with 478 in Ontario and 425 in Quebec.

Vaccine eligibility includes transgender, cisgender or two-spirit individuals who selfidentify as belonging to the gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) community and who meet at least one of the following criterias: - have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection within the last six months; - are planning to have sex outside of a mutually monogamous relationship, or have done within the past 90 days; - have attended venues for sexual contact within the past 90 days, i.e. bath houses, adult clubs, or may be planning to do so; - have had any sexual contacts with the above individuals so described; or, - staff and volunteers in

a social setting or venue or event where sexual activities between men as described above may take place.

The vaccination strategy is targeting these groups due to the fact that most of the infections are in the category of men who have intercourse with other men.

But such targeting can lead to stigmatizing of these groups, although many medical health experts have gone on record as stating monkeypox can be spread to anyone, given the right circumstances, although at the moment it is happening within the male gay community.

And advocates for the LGTBQ community worry that some will hesitate to get vaccinated due to perceived judgements by those in the health care system who are taking their personal information to validate their eligibility.

People can get monkeypox through close contact with others, and is spread mostly through respiration droplets.

Symptoms can include rashes, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, muscle aches and can range in intensity and duration of lesions appearing on the skin usually for two to four weeks.
