Viking voters choose experience By-election sees former councillors Ewashko and Nearing voted back in Patricia Harcourt Editor

Unofficial results are in; the majority of people voting in the Tuesday, August 23 byelection went with experience this time around to fill two council seats. Former councillor Clinton Nearing received 167 votes, the most of any candidate. He was followed by Dana Ewashko with 130 votes.

Both are incumbents from former councils and ran on their knowledge and experience in that regard.

There were four candidates for the two council positions, and they received the following vote count: Creeann Anderson, 24; Phil Chicoine 97; Dana Ewashko 130; and Clinton Nearing 167.

During the election campaign, both Anderson and Chicoine gave heartfelt statements concerning their desire to help the community get back on track, and to get into the spirit of renewal for the town.

In the last municipal election in October 2021, Nearing lost his bid to become mayor so wasn’t able to run for a council seat at that time.

Ewashko did run again for council after serving a four-

year term but was not re-elected in the October 2021 municipal election.

Now both men have taken the lion’s share of votes to be returned as experienced councillors after a year off. They will serve out the rest of the existing term, or three years, before there is another election.

All this happened after three councillors resigned their positions, starting with the resignations of new councillor James Buttner and incumbent Debbie O’Toole Balaban in March.

Both expressed frustration at how council was being run.

This was followed by the resignation of councillor Gary Hafso in June.

By last spring, it had become apparent that the new council was becoming dysfunctional.

The resignations left only two remaining officials, Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk and Councillor Cindy Lefsrud. But this was not enough to have a quorum for voting or to hold meetings.

A municipal administrator was appointed by Municipal Affairs to take over council’s duties until a quorum could be re-established. With three new councillors this should now be possible.

Nearing and Ewashko will

be joined on council by a returning Buttner, who had previously resigned, which had helped to kick in the byelections in the first place.

However, after being asked by loyal residents to go back onto council he reconsidered and placed his name for nomination in the second by-election that had been triggered when Hafso left. Buttner won the third vacant seat by acclamation, meaning no by-election in September was necessary.

The unofficial list of five persons on Viking Town Council after the by-election includes: councillors James Buttner, Dana Ewashko, Cindy Lefsrud, and Clint Nearing; and Mayor Yakiwchuk.

Voters are hoping the new council can now accomplish the job of holding meetings with the proper rules of order, make decisions based on open discussion and with propriety and respect.

Most on this new council want to go back to livestreaming meetings for the general public to watch, something the former council stopped after receiving negative feedback.

This, after initially campaigning on the need for transparency on council in the last election.

Good samaritans save man and pets from house fire Man asleep as electrical fire starts, ladies from Viking take action after noticing smoke Patricia Harcourt Editor

Two cousins heading to a friend’s house one evening managed to save a man from a house fire when they saw smoke coming from the roof and stopped to help.

Chandell Karl and Robyn Hackywicz just happened to notice the smoke billowing from the house on 53 Avenue just east of Main Street in Viking.

The two got out of the car and realized someone could be in trouble inside. They banged on the door and managed to wake a groggy man who was sleeping on his couch.

If they hadn’t been there, Chandell and Robyn both think the man may have been hurt or worse.

However, they acted in a quick and timely manner convincing him there was a problem and getting him out.

Then they went back to get his two kittens out, all the while noticing there was fire in the walls of the house.

“I don’t think he would have gotten out of his house,” said Chandelle. “He had no idea. He was watching tv and fell asleep. He didn’t even know when we were banging on his door, yelling ‘you need to get out of your house, dude.’”

The two called the fire department which arrived in five minutes and broke the front window while attending to the fire.

“They were really fast,” she said.

“They came, went in the front door and the electrical panel blew up.”

The electrical fire was in the walls, and if they hadn’t been there the fate of the man inside was problematic.

“We just got him out in time, then boom, the electrical panel blew,” she said. The two had seen the smoke coming out of the corner of the roof as they drove past and went around the block to check it out. Then other people were stopping as well.

Robyn said it was a bit scary in the house during this chaotic time looking for the man’s two kittens.

“I was walking through the kitchen and bedroom looking for kittens,” she said, and she noticed that “fire was in the walls.”

“I was a little scared, my nerves were jumping for sure.

“I just wanted to help out and make sure everyone was safe,” she said. She tried to ask the resident of the house but “he was a little confused about what was going on when we told him his house was on fire.”

The two had great difficulty convincing him to leave the house, but they finally managed to get him and his two kittens outside. The police also arrived to investigate the incident.

But the fire in the walls, which Robyn said seemed to start near the dryer, indicated an electrical issue.

Altogether the entire incident took about three hours, from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on the evening of Saturday, August 13.

“It was just getting darker,” said Robyn, which was probably how they were able to see the smoke coming from the roof The outside of the little house has little damage, but the interior was very damaged. Afterwards the girls helped the man to get himself and the kitties to a friend’s house where he was staying.

“He found another place to stay with his cats,” said Chandelle.

“If someone hadn’t drove by and stopped,” Chandelle believes the result could have been much worse.

As it was a small crowd was on hand including her relatives who helped with the cold, scared kittens.

“I’m happy I could be helpful,” she said.

After finding the man with somewhere to stay, they provided him with cat food and went to his landlord to let him know of the fire.

“We were at the right place at the right time,” said Robyn.

“I’m glad that we were, that we could help out.”

Robyn said they received a great deal of personal thanks from the man who got him out of this dangerous situation.

“He said thank you a lot,” she said, telling them that, “if you guys hadn’t helped me I wouldn’t be here right now.”

That seemed to be all the praise these two young women needed.

Chandelle is a recent graduate of Viking School and plans to become an aesthetician, while cousin Robyn has one more year of school to go before she graduates.

They both said they are just happy to be of help to someone in their time of need.

In the midst of all the chaos at a recent fire in Viking, Chandell Karl was able to get a photo of the fire as it appears inside the wall adjacent to the dryer.

Province initiates new proposals for Alberta police force; strong opposition Patricia Harcourt Editor

The UCP government is upping the ante on its push to establish a provincial police force with a website and blueprint the latest offerings.

Meanwhile, rural municipalities and the RCMP are pushing back with statements of their own about the provincial government’s intentions.

Albertans are being offered a way to “learn about what the future of provincial policing may look like through a website” called, “The future of policing in Alberta.”

The website can be reached at the site: futureofABpolicing.ca and gives what it calls “information about the opportunities a new provincial police service could bring.”

The listed opportunities include: improved civilian oversight, more front line police officers and better service levels across the province.

The government says it hasn’t made a decision yet on whether or not to have an Alberta police service replace the long standing RCMP, but adds it is doing its “due diligence…by going directly to Albertans to talk about this public safety topic.”

However, the effort to persuade Albertans that a provincial police force is better seems apparent, and critics are stating that a recent government led webinar on the subject was biased heavily in favour of a provincial force being established.

On August 16 the government established “A blueprint for more police officers in rural Alberta,” as a way to persuade rural residents to agree to provincial policing if they can get more officers working in 42 of the smallest detachments.

And, met with some disbelief by many was the statement that the government can add 275 frontline police officers to police rural areas without wanting more money from taxpayers to pay for them.

The government is saying that the proposed model would see community detachments serving small municipalities and rural or remote areas as

“the backbone of an Alberta Police Service.”

The province is saying the current policing model under the RCMP has no minimum number of officers for a detachment, and some have as few as three police officers.

“Under an Alberta Police Service, the government says community detachments “will be guaranteed a minimum of 10 front-line police officers.”

The move would happen by reducing the number of police officers deployed in headquarter and administrative roles, thereby freeing up more officers for rural areas, the statement by the province stated.

The province says this way more money to increase the number of rural officers won’t be required.

By putting more officers across the province instead of in centralized locations, it would provide better access to specialist policing services in rural and remote areas: “We can also make access to mental health, addictions, family crisis services and other specialized police services more accessible to all communities across Alberta.”

The reaction, however, was swift from Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) and the RCMP. ABmunis was part of a small group of organizations given what was called a “high level briefing” from Alberta Justice

Minister Tyler Shandro and senior ministry officials.

Having just been briefed earlier the same day the new deployment plan for a provincial police service was released, the rural municipal association stated it had some “outstanding concerns.”

ABmunis said there hasn’t been enough consultation and engagement with local governments and stakeholders since the October 29, 2021 release of the transition study final report on the provincial police force.

Alberta Municipalities calls for meaningful local input, municipal representation and regular reporting to the communities the police serve. Also, minimum standards on administration and better performance and reporting.

And the local municipalities should not have to pay for any costs to implement this new police service, said ABmunis, questioning the legitimacy of that claim.

“Fundamentally, we believe the creation of an Alberta provincial police service should be driven by the real public safety needs of the communities it will service, rather than by political motivations,” ABmunis concluded in its initial statement.

Alberta RCMP’s Commanding Officer, Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, immediately issued a statement

VIKING COLONY Farmers Market Fresh Vegetables, Potatoes, Chickens, Eggs, Wings, Frozen Peas, etc.

Every Thursday 1-5 beside Food with Flair

on the province’s latest push to convince Albertans to replace the RCMP with a provincial police force.

“Our employees are skilled police professionals, trained to the highest standard in Canada,” he said, “based on over a century of rural policing lessons.

“In addition to these frontline policing skills, our specialized services including units such as Police Dog Services, Forensic Identification, and Emergency Response Teams - are leaders in their fields, know the geographical realities of Alberta, and are strategically positioned throughout the province,” he concluded.

He also stated that open communication and consultation with community leaders, county and municipal governments and Albertans “have positioned the Alberta RCMP to continue responding

and evolving as a police service.”

He called the Alberta RCMP “future focused and flexible, changing as the safety and security needs of Albertans change.” That includes modernization of the force, the use of advanced technology and finding new ways to deliver services efficiently.

Zablocki said that this “drives how we adapt to the needs of the citizens we service, and respond to modern day threats and social factors within the province…I am grateful for our continued ability to collaborate and work together to address the needs of communities and citizens.”

Shandro’s proposed provincial policing model calls fro 65-85 community detachments each with a minimum of 10 police officers and a maximum of 80 officers working in them.

detachments with 48 to 192 police officers serving larger municipalities while supporting nearby community detachments when needed, including for mental health responses.

The hubs would also provide specialized investigative units, and tactical and canine units, reducing response times as the hubs would run across the province instead of larger centres.

“The current deployment model is bureaucratic and heavily centralized,” said Shandro, with people in those roles expected to be shifted to other rural operations instead in the new model he proposes for the province.

A decision has yet to be made on the establishing of a provincial police force, but the citizens of Alberta are being given a massive campaign to convince them it is a good idea in the meantime.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Canadian policing: time for change Since its creation, the RCMP has been an icon — sometime shining, sometime tarnished. But the objective here is not to review the Force’s past but rather to look to its future role and mandate by asking if the way policing is currently set up in Canada is in the national interest. So, in looking at the future role of the RCMP, we should consider both the interests of the Federal government and of the provinces and territories.

The RCMP is charged with providing three baskets of services: federal policing, provincial/ territorial and municipal policing in eight provinces and three territories and a range of technical services available to all police forces in Canada. This has been the case for some decades now and the key issue is whether this arrangement suits the policing requirements for Canada for the future. I do not believe this to be the case and suggest that what today is required of the Force is beyond its capacity to effectively deliver. Delivery of the three baskets of services is immeasurably more complex than it was a few decades ago and it is untreasonable to ask one organization to do it all.

Two other issues are relevant. The first arises from the fact that the contracts between the Federal Government and the provinces bind the Force to provide those services while Federal policing imposes no such obligation on the Force.

The practical result is a strong tendency on the part of the RCMP to empathize provincial policing to the detriment of federal policing. Supporters of the current arrangement

argue that the ability of the Force to shift resources in emergencies should trump other considerations. This may once have been true but it is no longer so. For example, shortly after 9/11, the Force shifted a significant number of personnel from contract policing to federal policing to deal with the new terrorist threat. To state the obvious, policing Red Deer is materially different than dealing with international terrorism. It is unfair to individual officers to ask them to work in areas for which they are not trained and it is definitively not in the national interest! This argument applies across the board to all elements of federal policing and the same is true of contract policing which is as complex an undertaking as federal policing — just very different!

The second issue that cannot be ignored is the confusion in political and administrative accountability that results from the current arrangements. Under a contract to provide provincial policing, resources in a particular province are accountable to that province’s legislature and Minister responsible for policing. Yet, those resources remain inherently federal and subject to the authority of the Commissioner in Ottawa. In a quasi-military organization like the Force, the ultimate authority is always the Commissioner who is thus in theory accountable to the federal Minister as well as to eight provincial and territorial ministers.

There are of course delegations to local commanders but it is profoundly unsound to confuse accountability for an organization so directly linked to providing for the safety and

Suspects Danielle Steel Theodora Morgan is fashion royalty. Founder of a wildly popular online shopping service, she is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world, although she prefers to keep a low profile, especially over the last months. It was a year ago when the unthinkable struck her family, and her husband, industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier,

and their son were kidnapped and held for ransom—a nightmare that ended in tragedy. The case has gone cold, despite evidence linking the crime to Matthieu’s Russian competitors. Theo has reluctantly gone back to work running her company.

On the flight to a launch party for one of her highly anticipated pop-up shops in New York City, she crosses paths with high-society net-

worker Pierre de Vaumont.

Theo politely invites him to her event—unaware that Pierre has been flagged by the CIA. Senior supervising CIA operative Mike Andrews investigates Pierre’s suspicious Russian contacts and clears him to enter the country, but when he realizes that Theodora Morgan is on the same flight, he becomes concerned for her safety. Posing as a lawyer, Mike begins a covert mission—starting with Theo’s opening party. When Mike and Theo meet, their connection is instant, but Theo is completely unaware of Mike’s true objective or identity… or that the life she is rebuilding is in grave danger.

security of Canadians. Two related issues also require mention. Under current arrangements, provinces are unable beyond a certain point -to adjust policing arrangement to suit their particular circumstances. The second point relates to the funding of provincial policing. Currently, Ottawa subsidizes contract policing up to 30 per cent. While perhaps of benefit to some of the recipient provinces, it inappropriately skews responsibility under the Constitution which provides that it is the provinces which are responsible for local policing. If financial support is necessary, use should be made of the general financial transfer provisions currently in place.

The above issues all point to the need for contract provinces and the Federal government to reconsider the RCMP’s role in provincial policing both to allow for provinces to provide for their policing needs and to allow a reconstituted RCMP to focus on the ever-growing requirements of federal policing. This change will in no way affect the absolute requirement in modern policing for all forces to cooperate and, as appropriate, share technical, personnel and financial resources. It works for Ontario and Quebec and there is no reason to believe that it cannot work in Alberta and elsewhere. It is in the national interest that it be made to work before the national icon that is the RCMP is put at ever greater risk of tarnishing.

Word on the Street: man complains of Church Services assault by neighbour over music volume For August 2022 On August 15, police were advised of a twovehicle collision involving a motorbike and a parked car that had occurred the previous week. Statements were obtained and a collision report was completed.

This same day, police learned that a female had failed to attend court in Vegreville as required. A warrant for arrest has been issued for Tonya Scott-Loga of Edmonton and an additional charge of failing to attend court has been laid.

That evening, police received a complaint of the theft of a holiday trailer. The complainant advised she had been trying to sell the trailer and had accepted a partial payment for it and allowed the buyer to take it with him with the expectation that the balance would be paid a few days later, which did not happen. Police advised the complainant that this matter was civil in nature as she had entered into a verbal contract with the buyer and there were no grounds to pursue criminal charges at this time.

On August 16, police received a complaint of a quad driving around someone’s property earlier that morning. The quad was no longer on scene when the report was made and police had no way to positively identify the involved driver.

Later that morning, police received information regarding a suspicious truck and trailer with a licence plate that was registered to a local resident. Police checked with the resident to see if his licence plate was still in his possession and when he checked his boat trailer, he found it had been stolen. Police have no suspects at this time.

That same day, police received a complaint of two suspicious males walking on a rural road southeast of Viking. They advised the complainant they were going to get

their vehicle that was parked a few miles away. Police made a patrol and located the parked vehicle and one male. Computer checks showed the vehicle was not registered so it was towed.

Also that day, police received a complaint of two thefts from an oilfield site, one that had just occurred and one that had occurred approximately a month prior. Police have no suspects at this time.

That evening, police received a request to check on the well being of an individual in Viking who was exhibiting paranoid behaviour. Police located the person in question and spoke with him but did not have grounds to take him into custody. The complainant was updated.

Late that night, police received a complaint of mischief at a property southeast of Viking. The complainant advised someone had attended her property, wrapped a chain around the gate at the entrance and bolted it shut. Police made a patrol but were not able to locate any suspects in the area.

On August 17, a citizen called police to report she had received a phone call from someone who claimed she had won 8.5 million dollars but she would have to pay $7,000 to receive it. She did not comply. She also advised she had received a cheque in the mail from an unknown person in Red Deer County but did not cash it as per her bank’s recommendation.

Fortunately, the caller was wise enough not to fall victim to either of these fraud attempts.

Also that day, police received a complaint of an assault that had taken place a couple of weeks prior. The complainant advised his neighbour had assaulted him when he went over to ask him to turn his music down but he did not wish to

pursue charges. Police spoke with both parties and no charges were laid.

Late that night, police received an anonymous complaint regarding the possibility of a stolen motorcycle that might be in the Viking area. Police did not locate the bike.

On August 18, police received a report of a male in distress leaning against a tree in Viking. Police attended along with EMS and found the male breathing but unresponsive. EMS treated him and he regained consciousness and declined further treatment.

Also that date, police received a request for a well being check on a male in Kinsella. Police attended his residence and after speaking with him, transported him to a health facility for assessment.

A few hours later, police received another report of a male in distress at a different location in Viking. Police and EMS attended and located the same male they had dealt with earlier. He advised he was just hot and trying to cool off and declined treatment.

That evening, police received a report of a male walking eastbound on Highway 14. The caller was concerned due to the extreme heat. Police made a

patrol but did not locate the male in question.

Later that date, police received a complaint of a stolen licence plate that had occurred two months prior. This matter is still under investigation.

Late that night, police conducted a curfew check on a male in Viking. The male was not in his home as per his probation conditions and he has been charged with Sec.733.1(1) CC-Fail to Comply With Probation. He was located the next day, arrested and remanded into custody. He will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court this week.

On August 19, police received a complaint of a two-vehicle collision in Viking. The complainant advised she had stopped behind a vehicle at an intersection when the vehicle in front of her started backing up and struck her vehicle. Police are following up on this matter.

That evening, police received a complaint of a theft of an antique truck. This matter is still under investigation.

Also that night, police received an animal bylaw complaint regarding a neighbour’s dogs attending his property and bothering his livestock. Police are following up on this matter.

Vialta columnist bids farewell as she moves out of Lodge Marion R. Cottrell Those of us in Vialta with farming backgrounds have been watching the skies a lot this past month. When we experience heat day after day there is always a chance that severe electrical storms and possibly hail may follow.

Once a farmer, always a farmer.

August 4 a few of our residents went to Rozmahel’s to pick Saskatoons.

Those berries are a special treat for many of us. Memories of picking through wild bush patches with uneven ground and likely wasp or hornet nests to watch out for. Or perhaps even bears, depending on which area of the province one grew up in. Then there was the experience of tripping and spilling your bounty.

That Thursday picking was such a pleasure compared to how it used to be for us.

The Summer Fun kids came to visit us again on August 11. It was another enjoyable day with them. Monday, August 15 the United Church women again led a Women’s Group in song and readings.

Vialta Lodge experienced an uninvited flood early this month.As residents were preparing to go for breakfast a water pipe split above the upstairs laundry room.

Many gallons of water cascaded into the laundry room and the portion of dining room directly below it. The ‘Complete Care Restoration’ came to the rescue with their dehumidifier and trained staff to bring disaster under control. It will take some time to repair all the damage but perhaps we can say it gives us something different to talk about!

Our front entrance is now complete with a lovely ramp, railings and large cement pad at the bottom of the new steps.

Anyone with a walker and certainly the EMTs and HandiVan driver

must be delighted with the finished project. It looks real nice, too!

On August 19, the Lions Club hosted a BBQ lunch at Camp Gary for those of us who wanted to attend. We sat inside so didn’t have to worry about getting sun stroke.

The lunch was delicious and was made more enjoyable as Torlea Flats entertained us from just outside. What a wonder-

ful way to enjoy a lovely sunny day. For most of us this was the first time we have seen Camp Gary. The camp is impressive although I must say one would never speed to arrive there!

I see next week a Mexican Fiesta is planned.

Lindsey, our Activity Coordinator, is a marvel at planning fun things for residents to enjoy.

Producers eager to start harvest as they wait on crops Patricia Harcourt Editor

Last year the harvesting was well underway by mid-August due to drought conditions requiring getting crops off sooner rather than later to salvage them.

At the same time this year the harvest is not occurring full tilt yet as farmers wait for their plants to mature more fully before cutting.

For the previous two weeks prior to the latest crop report from the province on August 9, rain was received in the central and northern parts of the province but was described as “variable.”

Southern parts of the Central Region have received less than 5-10 mm of rain. The seasonably higher temperatures have also contributed to crop development and the drying out of wet areas in the central and northern parts of the province, with the southern parts of the province getting heat that has dried out this area “significantly.”

“From the beginning of July, crop development was accelerated by the above normal temperatures,” stated the crop report, and was on par with the five year average. At that time, cereal crops were in the dough stage of development, with most of the canola and dry peas, lentils and chickpeas in the podding stage.

Harvesting began then in the south and central regions for fall seeded crops and pulses.

However, as the rain has declined and the temperatures have soared, the crops were showing signs of stress even for the August 9 reporting period.

Provincial crop conditions declined from the previous report in late July. At the beginning of August, 70 per cent of crops were in good or excellent condition. Crop growing conditions remained above their five year averages in all regions of the province but

no doubt the crop report will be different for the next reporting period of August 26.

Indications are that growing conditions have dropped even since the July 26 crop report for all regions except the northwest.

Provincial yields as of August 9 were 15 per cent above the five year average, including the central and north east regions The drying out continues with surface and sub surface soil moisture dropping since late July as the central area receives little rain and the heat has intensified.

As of August 9, 39 per cent of moisture levels were good in the province but 51 per cent were listed as poor or only fair.

As well, pasture growing conditions decreased

by five per cent from the previous two weeks with 41 per cent fair and 46 per cent good. The first cut of hay is basically completed across the province and second cut is underway is some areas. Producers are also silaging cereals to make up for feed reserves depleted last year by the drought.

crops were rated as good but more rain was needed which has not arrived to date to improve moisture levels and fill out the crops.

“Hot weather benefitted the crops that were behind due to the dry spring, although some canola fields are still in late flowering stages,” stated the Alberta crop report.

“A hail storm on August 1 caused severe damage in a few counties. Haying and silage have been progressing quickly to build up feed reserves.”

In the northeast region, the crop report says crops are developing well in the region as of two weeks ago. But it also states that “the hot dry weather two weeks (prior

Main sponsor

to that) advanced, but also hurt, some crops.

However, it was followed by some cooler wet weather last week (early August), helping with filling crops.”

And, although some dry pea fields have yellowed due to excess moisture previous, “producers are starting to desicate them,” said the report.

Meeting earlier this month updates multiple County developments Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council received its administrative activity reports at the August 3 regular council meeting, indicating some of the work done by departments in the past several months.

Recruitment for an economic development officer and a general manager for corporate services was part of the activity for the chief administrative officer. The CAO was also involved in early discussion, direction and planning for the 2023 budget and strategic planning regarding the SWOT analyses preparation for July 26-27.

The CAO also reported being part of the review and short listing of RFPs for the emergency management plan with Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC). Also dealt with was a human resources strategy and salary review for a later RFP, and union negotiations.

The CAO also reported on the ongoing search for economic development opportunities, including a meeting with CN and the University of Alberta “for a potential project by Kinsella.”

The agriculture department reported seasonal staff performing their seasonal duties, which are weather dependent activities. The spraying program began at the beginning of June working in Division 5, and. then moved into Divisions 1 and 2 starting in July.

The Bertha Army Worm traps were set at the beginning of June, and “Do not spray” agreements were updated.

Concerns in the Hamlet of Bruce were also addressed.

An Agricultural Service Board (ASB) field visit and meeting was scheduled with Alberta Agricultural for August 9.

And ASB is working with the county’s Public Works to coordinate the mowing program It was also reported that under the landflood control program, there were 176 beaver tails submitted to the county as of August 3 reporting, which means 176 beaver have been killed under the beaver bounty program.

Under the county’s enforcement department, a transition program for the Health and Safety Program started August 2. Also, the department is working on hiring a replacement Community Peace Officer with ads having been posted for the position.

The county’s policing force is working

on preparing a security plan for upgrading security at county facilities. And four submissions have been received for the emergency management plan RFP. Under community development, the county reported the launching of phase one of a new website on April 26, and “Is still working through some glitches.” A Summer Photo Contest was also launched in April and interested parties can find the information on the county website.

Also, a holding tank has been replaced at Black Nugget Lake, and the campground was re-opened in late June. It was also reported that there are “ongoing beaver and gopher issues at Camp Lake.”

Under planning and development, there is ongoing work with the consultant on updates to the county’s new municipal development plan and land use bylaw.

The department is also busy with “numerous development applications.”

The county has a special project with Alberta Environmental Protection (AEP) Agency. It reports that “issues have been identified and landowner engagement is on hold awaiting more information from the grant program.”

A “budget snapshot” was provided stating that the county “Is operating within the 2022 budget,” and staff are working on any items that need adjustment for the final 2022 budget.

At the end of July 2022, corporate services’ operating expenses were 57 per cent, or $1.385 million, of the approved budget.

Also, preparations are still ongoing for the 2022 assessment which is done for the following tax year. It was reported that the collection of 2022 taxes so far this year is about 5.7 per cent.

Corporate services is working on a special project called Asset Retirement Obligation, which is a new accounting standard that must be adopted by the county.

The new accounting method was described as: “This deals with recognizing a liability where the county is legally responsible to do an activity when an asset is retired. For example, if there is asbestos in a building and when the building is retired and destroyed, costs are incurred to deal with the asbestos.”

A new telephone answering service as been put in place for county offices. User fees are being reviewed for services to the public, and strategic planning meetings and workshops were discussed.

The Department of Infrastructure is working on this year’s construction projects, with gravelling and chip sealing ongoing. However, gravel crushing in the county pit is on hold as of reporting date.

Cementing projects are reported as complete for this year, while culvert replacement/installations are ongoing.

Mowing has started throughout the county, and the department was prepping for shoulder pulls. Special projects include gravel pit reclamation, putting together a five-year capital plan, an inhouse gravel hauling program with the purchase of four trucks and trailers for that purpose, working on campground upgrades, and calcium dust control appli-

cation sent out for the second round.

Under the Legislative Services department, a contract was coordinated with Municipal Planning Services for the county to get short-term planning assistance following the recent departure of the county’s development officer.

The department is also assisting with development and subdivision inquiries, and attended meetings for shortlisting of candidates for GM of Corporate Services and Economic Development Officer positions.

Special projects include exploring the idea of expanding the council chambers, “with further action to be coordinated with the village (unspecified).”

County awards grant to Tofield Ag Society for Western Days event

Claystone Waste e is a municipally con ntrolled corporation established in 20 20 by the Town of Viking, Vikin 2020 ng Town of Tofield Tofield, Village of Ryley, Village of Holden and Beaver County.

Patricia Harcourt

Claystone Waste is committed to being a responsive

Beaver County Council agreed to give the Tofield Agricultural Society a $2,000 grant in support of the society’s latest event, which was held last weekend under the new title of Tofield Western Days.

Western Days ran from August 11-14 and included a bull bash, promenade, pancake breakfast, and two-day rodeo.

General Manager of Community Services Aimee Boese explained that the bull bash used to be held separately earlier in the year. “They combined the bull bash and rodeo to form a Western Days.”

The grant was “in line with the county’s policy,” she said, of allowing $2,500 for operating grants for these organizations. The county had already awarded $500 towards the bull bash, she said.

In her report to council, she stated: “Under the Community Support Requests Policy the Tofield Agricultural Society receives a $500 annual grant to assist with operating expenses associated with the bull bash. That grant has been paid.

“In 2022 the Agricultural Society has combined the bull bash with the annual rodeo and promenade into a four-day Western Days event on August 11-14,” she said, and is asking for an additional $2,000.

“Combined with the annual grant, the total funding will be $2,500.”

She noted that the deadline for the second intake of grant applications is in September, “however this event takes place prior to that date.”

Dave Berrecloth, Tofield Agricultural Society President, explained the society’s latest direction in a letter to council.

“The Tofield Agricultural Society is looking forward to celebrating 50 years of service in Tofield, and the greater Beaver County region,” stated Berrecloth, calling the society “a pillar of support in driving economic development for the region.”

This was done by hosting events, providing the Tofield Arena as a hub and gathering place, and “always being a proud supporter of the region.

“The Agricultural Society is taking on a new venture this year, in the form of Western Days,” he said. “This four-day robust event will see the amalgamation of the Rodeo, Bull Bash and happily incorporate the much looked forward to Promenade.

“As I’m sure you can appreciate, the logistics in putting this event together have been challenging.”

He said the money granted by the county would go towards the operational costs of Western Days.

A motion by Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) to grant the funding was passed by council at the August 3 regular meeting.

Beaver County Chronicle, August 24, 2022 - 3

County councillors discuss issues of local concern; Bruce Stampede lauded as success Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) said this year’s Bruce Stampede was a great success.

The local area councillor, who represents the area where the rodeo is held in Division 4, highlighted the parade and rodeo as examples of how well the stampede was run and how much he enjoyed the activities.

Bruce was reporting to the county’s August 3 regular meeting with the three days of rodeo activities in Bruce having taken place the weekend prior to this.

Councillor Lionel Williams reported on taking a tour of his Division 2 with new chief executive officer Kayleena Spiess, before all of council also went on a countywide group road tour, which is an annual event.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) discussed Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC) strategic planning adding

information is “coming out in the next meeting.” Also, BESC is having a governance review that was to be released the following Wednesday after the council meeting.

The county showcased “a world class golf course,” for the RMA’s Zone 5/Victim Services tournament, he said, naming Coal Creek Golf Course and Resort. He said that Victim Services raised over $1,800 for their services to people who have been victims of crime and other disasters.

Spiess told council they were busy “getting ready for the fall,” and holding weekly meetings to “keep on track.”

The work of recruiting an economic development officer and GM Corporate Services is continuing and offers have been sent out, she said. Spiess said talks with CN and U of A have been held regarding a potential development in Kinsella area, stating that “the new economic development officer would be tasked with this,” and other proj-

2022 Construction Schedule

ects.

Plus, a new draft strategic plan would be “coming out in the next month.” Union negotiations are also being held during that time.

The Claystone Waste annual general meeting, which had been postponed due to county council concerns over some AGM board resolutions, has been re-convened for August 25.

Spiess said councillors could watch via Zoom, but Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) and Williams stated they wanted to attend the meeting in person.

Spiess had earlier explained that the CAO would attend the meeting officially on behalf of council and vote on the resolutions as directed by council.

Many of council’s concerns about some remaining Claystone resolutions had been addressed at a previous meeting when Claystone CAO Pierre Breau attended to answer questions and provide explanations.

The Alberta Urban Municipalities

Association convention will be held in Calgary this September 21-23.

Hrabec suggested that the county could sponsor an urban councillor from one of the towns and villages within Beaver County to attend the convention. Hrabec said he got the idea from another municipality which did this for its urban neighbour.

County council has recently expressed concern over the ongoing viability of its urban neighbours, and was taking this issue to a meeting with Cabinet ministers during the Rural Municipality of Alberta (RMA) convention in Edmonton November 7-10.

CAO Spiess suggested taking Hrabec’s suggestion to the next meeting of local CAOs, comprising all five jurisdictions in the county, saying it could be a “collaborative effort.”

Smook said it was “an opportunity to do something on a rotational basis,” between the four local urban municipalities, calling it “a good initiative.”

Shoulder Pull Update Beaver County will be completing Shoulder Pulls in the following areas over the next few weeks.

• TWP RD 504 from RGE RD 190 to HWY 14 (1.5 miles) • TWP RD 490 from RGE RD 182 to 190 (4 miles) • RGE RD 145 from TWP RD 485 to 490 (1 miles) • TWP RD 494 from RGE RD 124 to 131 (3 miles) • TWP RD 490 from RGE RD 120 to 122 (2 miles) • RGE RD 110 from TWP RD 473 to 480 (3 miles) • RGE RD 120 from TWP RD 490 to Colony Entrance Road rehabilitation through shoulder pulling will re-establish crown, compact the road surface and allow for grading of the road slope for proper drainage. Although the roads will stay open during construction please expect delays or use alternate routes. We apologize for any inconvenience that this road maintenance causes and 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.

Construction Update Over the summer we have been working to upgrade the following roads: • TWP RD 512 from RGE RD 191 to RGE RD 195 • RGE RD 202 from TWP RD 504 to TWP RD 510 • TWP RD 480 from HWY 36 – RGE RD 132 • RGE RD 132 from TWP RD 480 to Parrish & Heimbecker entrance • TWP RD 482 TerraCem REPAIRS from TWP RD 482 to HWY 36 • RGE RD 132 TerraCem REPAIRS from P&H north to TWP RD 482 These locations are starting to receive the second 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 second chip seal layer is applied and speed limits will continue to be reduced on these roads until the final sweep is complete. Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general 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.

Gerard Denis Durand

Heaven gained one of God’s most gentle souls with the passing of Gerard Denis Durand.

Gerard grew up in Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan where he fell in love with his soulmate, Colleen Philippon and they were married May 30, 1981.

They welcomed three children into their lives: Jason, Michael, and Alison.

Gerard’s 47-year

career with the Credit Union started in Willow Bunch.

His career took him to Ogema and Cabri then to Viking in 2000. Gerard finished his career in Wainwright.

Gerard was a devout Catholic and drew his strength from his faith.

He was a gifted musician who loved music and shared his talent with all those around him.

Gerard loved camping, fishing, gardening, concerts, travelling, watching sports, and cheering on the Riders and Habs.

Most of all Gerard loved any activity that allowed him to spend time with his family and friends.

He will be remembered always as a Loving

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, and a Friend. “A Gentleman.”

Gerard is welcomed to his eternal home by his mother and father, Simone and Maurice Durand, and his fatherin-law Bernard Philippon.

He is survived by the love of his life of 41 years, Colleen, his children Jason (Amy), Michael, and Alison (Mitch), his four grandchildren, Evan, Emersyn, Jacob and Murray, his sister Cecile Bennett (Wayne), his mother-inlaw, Olga Philippon, and numerous relatives and friends.

A Prayer Vigil will be held at the Holy Heart of Mary, Roman Catholic

Church, Viking, Alberta on Wednesday, August 24, at 5 p.m. with Father Robert Lee as Celebrant.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, August 25 at 10 a.m. at the Holy Heart of Mary, Roman Catholic Church, Viking, Alberta with Father Robert Lee, and Deacon David Hagel as Celebrant.

Inurnment of Gerard’s ashes will follow later this fall alongside loved ones at the St. Ignace Roman Catholic Cemetery in Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations be made to the Holy Heart of Mary Catholic Church or the Viking Health Foundation.

Leader vote increases UCP membership Patricia Harcourt Editor

The United Conservative Party (UCP) of Alberta reports a large surge in memberships prior to the leadership vote that will replace Premier Jason Kenney next month.

Following the August 12 deadline to obtain or renew a party membership that entitles the bearer to participate in the leadership vote, UCP President reported memberships more than doubled from 60,000 to 123,915.

“We’ve experienced

massive growth in every riding in the province,” she said, “and it’s put us on a solid footing heading into the next election.”

Interest in the leadership vote surged in the province as indicated by the membership increase.

The UCP will mail ballots to everyone with a membership starting in September. The ballots must be returned to the accounting firm overseeing the vote by October 3 with results announced three days later in Calgary on October 6.

The UCP plans to hold its last leadership debate

Flagstaff County dealing with COVID outbreak Patricia Harcourt Editor

Flagstaff County is experiencing an outbreak of COVID-19 and is listed in the highest bracket for seven-day case rates, according to the interactive aggregate data on cases in Alberta.

As of August 15, the last reporting date available, Flagstaff has had 17 new cases of the virus officially diagnosed in the previous seven days. The seven-day new case rate (per 100,000 population) is 201.8, putting it at the highest level on the aggregate map tracked by the province.

This is not the kind of news most residents are likely to want to hear in light of the fact that summer activities have been in full swing for two or three months and people are turning out to enjoy them without health restrictions being imposed.

These statistics have not been reflected in surrounding jurisdictions like the M.D.of Wainwright with one new case in the same time period, Beaver County East with no newly diagnosed cases, M.D. of Provost (also zero), Castor/Coronation/Provost with one new case, and Stettler and County (two cases).

on August 30 in the Maclab Theatre at the Citadel in Edmonton.

Leadership hopefuls include Leela Aheer, Brian Jean, Todd Loewen, Rajan Sawhney, Rebecca Schultz, Danielle Smith, and Travis Toews, The UCP was formed in 2017 with 87,000 members.

The next provincial election is scheduled to take place on or before May 29, 2023, under the new UCP premier who will replace Kenney on October 6, 2022.

Teddy Bear Picnic filled with fun activities Patricia Harcourt Editor

This year’s Teddy Bear Picnic at Easview Park was bigger and better than ever with even more activities, learning and fun.

The picnic packs a great deal in a two-hour period, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This year it was held on Monday, August 22 and families streamed into the park to enjoy all the fun and meet the many organizations in the community that help in various capacities throughout the year.

The kids brought their teddy bears in for checkups and took a tour of an ambulance. They also were able to see a fire truck and RCMP cruiser and meet the local firefighters and police officers who help keep the community safe.

It’s all designed to familiarize

youngsters with the medical staff, emergency personnel and police officers and to know they are friends who will help if and when the need arises.

Princess party corners with glitter tattoos, and the FCSS RC speedway and fishing hole were some of the fun activities. Members of the municipal library read stories to avid little listeners, and kids bounced around the BESC firetruck slide.

Beaver County CALP was also on hand to teach the art of using henna, with Prabhleen Kaur also performing face painting for the delighted kids.

Hot dogs were barbequed and served to hungry picnic goers courtesy of the Viking Men’s Group and Viking Fish and Game.

Viking/Beaver FCSS organized a large and diverse display of activities and fun for local families to enjoy at the picnic.
