Break-in at Viking Petro, ATM stolen A thief or thieves got clean away after stealing Viking Petro Canada's ATM in the early morning hours of Aug. 22. By the time the Viking RCMP arrived after receiving a commercial alarm at the station, the thieves were gone. Police found the front doors of the Petro Canada convenience store had been pulled open from the outside causing major damage. Inside was a missing ATM, along with other items that were taken. As of Tuesday this week, the doors into the convenience store were still damaged and shut with a sign saying, ""Door is broken. Please use Burger King side door." RCMP say the incident is still under investigation. The doors of the Petro Canada convenience store in Viking are closed for the time being pending repairs after thieves forced it open last Thursday morning and stole the ATM.

County agrees to enter into road agreement with P&H Patricia Harcourt Editor

Beaver County Council will be entering into an agreement with Parrish and Heimbecker Limited to upgrade Range Road 132 and Township Road 480 to provide access to the development on E1/2 of 3-48-13-W4. A motion by Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson, on which the regional elevator terminal is located outside of Viking, was passed at

council's Aug. 21 regular meeting. However, the vote was four councillors in favour and one opposed, with Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec stating: "I think we need the road." But Hrabec said it was being built to too high a standard. As currently proposed, the road will have a base stabilization of cement followed by an application of chip seal. "Even though we get money back in taxes," Hrabec said, he still preferred applying terracem

on the road instead of doing a rebuild. But Pederson said the traffic would be of much higher volume on the roads going in and out of the grain terminal facility, so the rebuild was necessary. "I do believe we need a superior road," he said. Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) agreed. "I think it's progressive for Beaver County," he said. "I'm in favour of it." Pederson proceeded with another motion

passed by council that the county issue a tender to upgrade Rge. Rd. 132 and Twp. Rd. 480 as follows: a) The standards set out in Alberta Transportation Standard cross-section for RLU210G-100 and Alberta Transportation Standard cross-section for Service Roads RLU-208G-90 with the exception that the road shall be constructed with a nine (9) metre top rather than a 10-metre top; b) Base stabilization

using cement and an application of chip seal to provide a dust free surface similar to pavement. Public Works Director Darby Dietz told council that the road "may not be constructed this year," adding there may be a chance of getting "better tenders in January or February than now." Wetland agreements likely couldn't be completed until midSeptember and other agreements with landowners could take

another four to six weeks. "The end of October means we may not get the work started this fall." Hrabec said this was another reason to be against the motion for a higher standard of road as a terracem application could have been done this fall and "be off the books." But Pederson responded that he worries about the base of the road in question. "I just think we've got to do it right," See P&H P4

Viking town Council delays passing borrowing bylaw for solar project Patricia Harcourt Editor

Although the town's application for funding to help with its solar micro generation project has been approved, council has decided to delay passing the necessary interim borrowing bylaw. Town of Viking CAO Don McLeod told council Aug. 19 that MCCAC has approved a grant of $786,000 for the town's solar program, which would use solar powered panels to power up town-owned facilities. MCCAC stands for Municipal Climate Change Action Centre. The town just made it under the wire in the approval process, said McLeod, noting that the province intends to cancel the energy rebate program started by the previous NDP government. He said the funding will be forthcoming if approved projects are completed as specified. The town's solar project is set for a completion date of Jan. 31, 2020. McLeod said the MCCAC guidelines

guarantee the funds for eight months after the approval date. After that, "it goes to someone else," he said. Under the Municipal Government Act, council can pass a bylaw to provide interim financing for a capital project. The financing cannot be longer than five years to pay back. But despite the approval, council did not proceed with the interim borrowing bylaw for the solar project, which meant borrowing $1.7 million from a local financial institution. "Time is of the essence to get pilings in place before freeze

up," said McLeod, adding that the equipment being used "all comes from Germany." He said the town has 60 days from Aug. 7 to pass the bylaw. This puts the timeline for getting the bylaw in place to about Oct. 7. The bylaw was set up to pass all three readings in one meeting of council, but Mayor Jason Ritchie stated he wanted to table the issue "until we get more information," noting: "We have 60 days to pass it. We can always pass it in September." Council then passed the motion unanimously to table the bylaw until September.

50 Years Ago August, 1969 Crop Insurance is Growing All risk crop insurance, provided under a joint federal provincial plan, is booming in Canada. Last year, more than 64,000 farmers took out insurance covering crops valued at more than $188,000,00. That is 96 percent increase in farmers and a 106 percent rise in crop coverage compared to the previous year. Spring applications indicate another increase this year, but not likely by as much as last year.

Viking tables road construction, airport agreements with County Patricia Harcourt Editor

Town of Viking Council agreed to one Intergovernmental C o l l a b o r a t i o n Framework (ICF) agreement with Beaver County regarding cemeteries, but balked at agreements proposed for the airport and road construction. The Viking Airport is owned and operated by the town but is located in Beaver County. Although the town maintains the airport for both urban and rural users, any taxes from the lease of airport hangars go to the county. "We don't get any revenues, they get all the revenues," said Viking CAO Don McLeod, regarding airport taxes and leases. With that in mind, several members of council took exception to the clause in the proposed airport agreement stating that each municipality's share of any

operating deficit would be based on population as determined by Statistics Canada or municipal census. One Viking councillor felt the operating deficit should be shared equally, especially in light of the fact the town receives no tax benefit while having to maintain the airport for all users. This agreement was tabled for more discussion, as was the road maintenance proposal for a road building project. It was noted that the town has never had a road construction agreement such as the one proposed. CAO McLeod told council that this was the standard agreement used by the county over the years with many inter-municipal projects. A portion of Range Road 130 and Township Road 480 is under the town's jurisdiction, but the roads' adjacent portions are under the direction and control of the county.

The town has requested that the county maintain its portion of Rge. Rd. 130 as an all weather gravel road, but wants the county to maintain its portion of Twp. Rd. 480 as an all weather surfaced road. The agreement between the town and county would allow this to happen, to the county's road maintenance level of service. The agreement stipulates that in return for this maintenance service for both roads the town would pay the county an annual amount of $4,402 plus GST. But members of Viking Council said another clause stating that the town would pay $2,100 plus GST annually "in consideration of upgrades provided by the county to the town," were not discussed and it shouldn't be up to the county to collect the town's funds in advance. "It's not okay to take the town's money and put it in (county)

reserves. The town could keep that and collect interest," said one councillor, then make the payment. Viking Mayor Jason Ritchie wanted to know why it was the CAOs of the town and county that were to sign the road use agreement. With that, it was quickly tabled pending more discussion. McLeod had recommended passing the road use agreement and the cemetery agreement. In the end, the cemetery agreement was the only one council agreed to pass. The Viking Cemetery is owned and operated by the town but located within the county on Part of SW 2-48-13-W4. Council agreed to go along with the agreement the county has for other rural cemeteries in its boundaries, under the county's Cemetery Support Policy. This policy provides for an annual grant to the town of no less than $1,000.

LETTER Dear Editor: Now that the ethics commissioner has again found Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government guilty in the SNC Lavalin scandal, I would sincerely hope this is a wake up call for those Canadians who have been lulled to sleep. The scandal has uncovered lies within lies within lies. We are witnessing the most successful non-military takeover in history. Our country and planet has slowly had the common sense beaten out of it. All forms have media have done nothing short of an amazing job keeping people focused on what they want them to be focused on, and oblivious to the things they don’t want us to know about despite the fact these stories are enormous. As Nazi master propagandist Josef Goebbels said: “This is the secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are being immersed in it.” I have been saying for 4 years now we should be paying attention to our leaders, not the latest over hyped or fake news story out of the United States. We are now left to survey the damage of this country under the leadership of Justin Trudeau. The SNC Lavalin scandal has highlighted just how multi-leveled the lying and corruption is within the Liberal party. Let’s start with our media. The SNC Lavalin scandal was just too big to cover up so they had no choice but to cover it. Some reporters did give it the outrage it deserved but many went quite light on Justin Trudeau. The $600 million buyout of the media made a bad situation worse. When this money was given out one of the groups that decided who gets it was the union Unifor headed by Jerry Dias. They represent roughly 10,000 journalists across Canada. When Macleans magazine ran a feature article on the premiers that would present the resistance to Justin Trudeau, Jerry Dias quickly fired back saying how he will be the resistance to make sure Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives don’t come into power. When you look through his social media he might be the biggest conservative hater in Canada. One of his posts from a few months ago was how he was proud of how the pipeline protesters in B.C. were working to shut down Transmountain. Another media outlet that got the money was the Toronto Star. The share price of the Toronto Star is down approximately 90 per cent in the past five years. This is because they devolved into bashing right wing (UCP, Conservative and Republican) politicians and advancing social justice causes. The good news for them and bad news for us is our tax money is now funding them to the tune of $115K per week. The Star Metro which somehow has infiltrated fast food outlets in Edmonton is part of the chain. I

picked one up when I was giving blood and they had five stories that had political undertones. By pure coincidence I am sure all five had an anti-conservative bias. They also had a story on the Dayton Ohio mass shooting and how there didn’t appear to be any motive. This is false as the shooter had multiple pro Democrat posts on social media. This to no one’s surprise has been covered up by most of our media. The issues our media has been able to distract Canadians away from is remarkable. One such story is the Transmountain pipeline. Unless I missed something, wasn’t it approved? Unless I missed something why in the world is it not being started in full force? The Liberals have had months to prepare and we are still waiting. Depending on which source, this is costing Canada millions of dollars per day. In regards to the multiple delays I have to wonder just how stupid they think we are. There was a roughly five month delay to make sure the whales were going to be okay from the one extra oil tanker per day. This is crazy, why no problem with cruise ships, ferries, coal barges, raw sewage from Victoria? In addition if whales on the west coast are affected by oil tankers, why have the whales on the east coast not been effected by middle eastern oil tankers? The reason why is the delay was a scam by a PM who is playing both sides of the fence but most interested in keeping the U.S. groups happy that are trying to shut down our Oilsands and now go after our cattle. So by no coincidence the delays will stretch out to the election, then who knows what will happen. These same U.S. groups that manipulated our last election apparently aren’t a concern to Justin Trudeau or the media with the exception of Vivian Krause. How has this one fallen through the cracks in the lead up to our election? Have you heard one word about this? When multiple groups influenced our last election to help the Liberals win, shouldn’t we be making sure this doesn’t happen again? As our media and the Liberal government have proven, election manipulation is okay as long as it helps get Justin Trudeau re-elected. Election manipulation is out of control and nobody seems very worried. We have further proof that Google is manipulating U.S. elections and censoring Conservative speech but again our media seems to show very little interest in stories like this. The line of whistleblowers from these tech giants all confirming these groups are censoring conservative speech is getting far too long to ignore. Are they manipulating our elections and why is this being covered up? Another story the media shows no interest in is the China trade situation. Has Justin Trudeau done anything or does he plan on doing anything? Unless I have missed it he is doing literally nothing to address this issue. You can also add in India who has tariffs

on our pulse crops. Our farmers are hurting and the Liberals are doing little to nothing. The Liberals somehow brought back Gerald Butts with little to no resistance as well. It was okay for the Liberals to bring him back because a CBC article said it was. If you recall he resigned as part of the undue pressure being put under Jody Wilson-Raybould. For those in the women’s rights or indigenous rights movement, how did Justin Trudeau avoid scrutiny for turfing an indigenous woman for the offence of being honest? If Jason Kenney would have done this the media and outrage groups would have went bonkers. The Federal election leadership debate looks to have become a joke as well. Justin Trudeau isn’t allowing Maxime Bernier to attend and the Liberals have decided which media outlets will attend. Five of the 10 attending are based out of Quebec with three being strictly Quebec. Not one media outlet from Western Canada was invited. So you can expect a lot of questions about the climate change emergency, white supremacists and LGBTQ issues. Probably not much on the numerous ethics violations, lost resource revenue, Omar Khadr, the India trip, China trade war, Illegal immigration problem, the Aga Kahn trip to a private island, the summer jobs fiasco, the work of Vivian Kraus, funding terrorist groups, ISIS fighters being welcomed in, etc, etc, etc. My guess is Justin Trudeau pulls a Hilary Clinton and gets the questions to the debate in advance.

Word on the Street: Break-ins at Bruce post office, Viking gas station On Aug.19, a citizen and his child attended the detachment to speak with a member regarding custody issues. Police spoke with them and advised them to seek legal advice from a lawyer and get a custody order in place. That afternoon, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14. Police were unable to locate the vehicle in question. On Aug. 20, police received a report of a male walking westbound on Highway 14 west of Bruce. Police attended and spoke with the male who advised he was on his way back to his home in Holden. He was provided assistance with this and the complainant was updated. On Aug. 21, police responded to an early morning alarm at the post office in Bruce. The culprits gained access through the community hall and entered several rooms in the building. A forensic identification section was called in to assist with the investigation; however, police have no suspects at this

time. Later that day, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle on Highway 14. Police attended and found the vehicle had no licence plate attached and it was not currently registered. The vehicle was towed and a violation ticket was forwarded to the owner. That same day, police received a complaint of a taxi being driven erratically on Highway 14. Viking members were not in a position to intercept the vehicle so the information was passed on to Tofield RCMP. Tofield members made a patrol and located the vehicle in question; however, the complainant did not wish to provide a statement or attend court if required so the taxi driver was let go with only a warning. Also that day, police received a complaint of suspicious males at a rural residence east of Viking. The complainant advised the males attended his property and inquired about scrap metal for sale. Police made some

inquiries and could not find anything to indicate any suspicious actions on the part of the males. They left the property without any issues. During the early morning hours on Aug. 22, police responded to a commercial alarm at a local gas station. When police arrived on scene, they found the front doors had been pulled open from the outside and had suffered major damage. Several items were stolen from inside including the ATM. This matter is still under investigation. Later that morning, police received a complaint of an abandoned

vehicle northwest of Viking. Police attended the location; however, the vehicle was no longer on site. That afternoon, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14. Police were unable to intercept the vehicle in question. On Aug. 23, police received a complaint of a stolen bike from a residence in Viking. The complainant called back a short time later and advised she had found the bike and police could disregard. Late that night, police received a complaint of a possible impaired driver eastbound on Highway 14. Police located the

New tower to improve coverage for rural residents Patricia Harcourt Despite some sympathy expressed for residents in close proximity to a proposed new telecommunications tower in the west end, Beaver County Council agreed to support it for the sake of its rural residents getting better service. T e l u s Communications Inc. is proposing to place a new 45 metre high telecommunications tower in the county's west end, located half a mile south of Twp. Rd. 510 and east of R.R. 205, legally described as SW 32-5020-W4. Brenden Smith, 5G Strategic Project Coordinator, Land Solutions Inc., attended the meeting to speak on behalf of Telus. Logan Demerais, Senior Real Estate Manager of Telus, was expected

but did not attend. County development officer Jessica Lui stated in her report: "The county is not the approving authority for telecommunication facilities; however, the applicant must secure a letter of municipal concurrence for the facility as part of their application to Industry Canada," which is the approving authority. Several households have objected to the tower being placed nearby, with two supporting it. Complaints include proximity, health and aesthetic issues, the potential for lowered property values and the likelihood of increased noise. Another worry is of the potential for flashing lights on the tower. It was suggested also that the existing tower, which is double the height of the one

now proposed, could be upgraded instead. However, Lui said it was "determined that the tower could not support additional antennas and it would be economically unfeasible to use the tower." Lui also reported that, after a new site location was chosen "to minimize visual impact," there was only one objection received for the new location. But based on that one objection, the matter was referred to county council to decide if the project would be supported. An open house had been held last April at Spilstead Hall to provide information to area residents and get feedback. Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) felt those living in the area of the new tower should be compensat-

ed in some way, noting he knew people who received free internet as compensation in another situation. "It would be unusual to offer this type of compensation to adjacent landowners," replied Smith, noting that "they would have the opportunity for increased services" just by having the tower there. "But everybody gets that, everybody," replied Bruce. "It's just challenging for a nation-wide carrier to offer," said Smith. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) asked if there would be a "significant impact" to cell phone and internet service in

rural Beaver County with this tower. "The latest technology will be in the tower," said Smith. "The capacity is there." Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook said he "respects some residents have concerns," but felt this project puts the county on track with its municipal sustainability plan to improve broadband services. "Overall, it's good for Beaver County." "I am absolutely in favour of improved communication, the sooner the better," added Bruce. "But I also feel for the people living nearby…It's not as intrusive as a coal mine but it does alter

their view." But with only two objections, he said, those people should be considered for a compensation package. Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) said the idea should be sold to Telus, and Smith volunteered to deliver this message to Demerais, who had attended the April open house. "I do feel some of the people that may be affected should have some additional compensation," agreed Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2). A motion by Smook to send a letter of concurrence to Telus as part of the approval process was passed unanimously.

2 - Beaver County Chronicle, August 28, 2019

Beaver County Councillors discuss roads in their divisions Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council took time Aug. 21 to discuss certain roads in the county. Problems with Township Road 514 were brought up by Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook. Smook said the move to put the road to gravel for now would not be popular with drivers in the short term. "But we need to improve safety," he said. The motion called for that portion of the road to be worked back to gravel for now with consideration of putting a long term dust control solution in place the next spring. The issue revolves around three miles of the 514 which were patched with Roadtek material, packed and covered with coal mix. Superintendent of Transportation Dan Blackie blamed the road problems on a base failure due to saturated ground. Although the first mile of the road from 630 east to R.R. 195 did respond well, the second mile from R.R. 195 to 194 didn't work and has broken up. Also breaking up is the end of the third mile running from 194 to 193. Blackie thought a contributor to the problem was a couple of natural springs that exist in the rolling hills in the area. "So, it's saturated underneath," he said. "I know it's been a thorn in our side," said Smook, noting the residents "are not happy." Blackie said a packer is used on the road every week, but "the rain doesn't help." And the road is very busy, he said. The first mile seemed to work well and Blackie felt that was because there was some oil mixed into it. There are also good shoulders on that part of the road. But the rest is not working. "If we work it up, the grader can maintain it and will make it tighter shoulder to shoulder," he said. "There's a lot of aggregate there, it's just so wet." In the spring, it could be cemented and chip sealed, he said. "Hats off to our grading crew," said Smook. "It's been a very wet yearâ&#x20AC;¦with challenges. By golly, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a very good job on that part, the gravelling." Speaking of the road, Smook said: "I want it chewed up this week or next week, tightening it up so we can cement it next year."

Division 4 Councillor Barry Bruce recommended the pot holes be monitored before cementing, adding: "I wouldn't be very eager to chip seal it too soon because there are no supports on the sides of the road. "I'm fully confident if we work it, chew it, and cement it next year it will hold up," said Blackie. In another division, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) stated his desire for Twp. Rd. 502 to be turned into a feeder road. Hrabec said there was no "rhyme or reason" to the way nine yield signs between Bruce and Ryley are placed on the road. "Five don't have yield signs going in the other direction," he said, adding: "I would like to see what can be done to change the signs to make it a feeder road." The road is good, he said, because "the grader operators have done a good job maintaining the road." Administration will look at the issue for council. Hrabec also brought up a complaint made to him about mud from Beaver Municipal Solutions (BMS) trucks tracking onto Secondary Highway 834 in the early morning hours, making it "pretty slick and muddy." Smook, who sits on the BMS board for Beaver County, said this topic has been discussed at the BMS board level, and a board colleague suggested dropping the speed limit from 100 km/hr to 80 km/hr at the point where the trucks leave the facility and enter the highway. Smook said: "The BMS general manager will follow up on that." Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) told council he wants to see the speed limit on Highway 14 from Secondary Highway 855 to Range Road 161 reduced from 100 km/hr to 80 km/hr as well. A motion by Bruce was passed to seek the Village of Holden's support for the speed reduction proposal. Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) had a motion passed to remove the stop sign on Secondary Highways 626 at the T-intersection with Secondary Highway 854, for eastbound traffic only. "You have to stop at the T-intersection anyway so why have the other stop on 626," said Kallal. Public Works Director Darby Dietz said the signs might be there now because the 626 changes from a gravel road to a paved road going east after the intersection.

Beaver County Chronicle, August 28, 2019 - 3

Adoption of Priority Based Budgeting (PBB) County Council, at their August 21, 2019, meeting, unanimously endorsed embarking down the path of Priority Based Budgeting (PBB). Beaver County is one of only a handful of municipalities in Canada to use PBB. It is an innovative approach to allocate budgeted resources towards achieving results in identified goals as opposed to applying traditional incremental budgeting. Incremental budgeting takes last year’s budget and the services embedded within and adds/subtracts for items like inflation, growth, grants, and new legislation. PBB for Beaver County will mean a step-by-step process toward clearly sharing with the public all the programs the municipality provides, gauging how well those programs resonate with

citizens and ranking those program impacts on priorities in a strategic plan. All the traditional budget factors are still included but programs are also gauged for their ongoing relevance to citizens and priorities. This allows for more movement among program areas and reallocating resources to where they achieve the greatest results. Reeve Jim Kallal stated that he “sees tremendous value in making sure the public knows exactly what they are receiving for programs as well as how much those programs cost and how they are impacting community priorities.” One of the intangible benefits of PBB is moving away from a budget being about departments that are difficult to explain to the public to a budget being about pro-

grams that a citizen/business can identify with. Programs invite a healthier dialogue among all stakeholders and add a level of accountability not often seen in government. The first step on this journey will come in the form of meetings with Council and administration to look at the current strategic plan and refresh it with a PBB lens attached. What this means is applying rigor in identifying clear goals for the community. These goals then need results attached to them. This is where accountability and transparency lie. The results, clearly articulated direction and expectations from Council, will be handed off to administration to then build a business plan built on achieving the most results possible

within the framework of the budget. Council will then hold its administration accountable for the results promised in that business plan. Reeve Kallal suggested he has “never seen a clearer way to demonstrate understanding between direction from Council and a straightforward answer from County staff. “This really sets the standard for staying focused on those things that are most important to citizens, businesses, community groups, and Council. Council is looking forward to sharing the results of this with our community. There are only so many dollars in our budget. It is important we demonstrate good value to everyone.” Strategic planning efforts with Council start in mid-September.

The Weekly Review, Wednesday, August 28, 2019 - Page 7

Looking Back: Uncle Fred’s homestead Irene Toverud My grandfather, Josiah Sloman, with his wife and three-year-old daughter, and his bachelor brother Fred, came from Ontario by train to homestead north of Tofield in the year 1900. They stayed five years before applying for homesteads in the district that was to become the Lornedale school district a few miles northeast of Gilpin's store and post office. The two brothers had adjacent homestead quarters. Fred, a bachelor, built a one room shack on his own quarter about a quarter of a mile from Grandpa Josiah (known only as Joe). He spent three years breaking 10 acres and meeting all requirements involved; he may have been turned down as he lost his homestead. A woman in the district wrote in to the government saying that he hadn’t lived in his house. He ate his meals at Grandpa Joe's place but slept in his own house at

night which wasn’t good enough apparently. Fred eventually moved to BC before I was born, so I never saw him. For years what happened to his homestead is lost in the annals of time. My mother did say that a French Canadian and his wife had the farm for awhile. Apparently he used to visit them and told many tall tales of all the places he had been. One day during his bragging session, she counted the number of places he had been and it came to 150! They stayed there only a short time before moving away. I do remember the Loughery’s, an Irish family of a man, his wife and four red headed children who came to live on the former homestead of my great uncle Fred. The Canadian government sent the British Isles glowing reports of cheap land available in Western Canada, not knowing the distance between towns. Many sold their furniture with

the intention of buying when they arrived here. I only saw some small serving bowls lined up on this Irish family's table. They did have cookware. The two oldest girls were the same age as my sister and me. A third was younger and not in school yet. Little Richard was two-years-old and still in diapers. He wore a dress in the summer and ran around outside without a diaper, I presume to save on soap. The Dad walked over two miles daily to work for a neighbour. My sister and I walked to school with the girls as we were only a quarter of a mile apart. My mother gave the family milk, vegetables, and eggs. They were a nice family and we and the girls played together a lot. They didn’t stay long. The government then turned the land into Soldier Settlement for soldiers from Great Britain and Canada who had fought in the First World War and provided

money for the land, farming equipment and some cows, to be paid for over time. I read that hundreds who had taken up this option went broke. The Wakelin family from England came to Canada under this scheme. Mr. Wakelin had been a farri-

er for horses in the British army. He had a great knowledge of horse care. We went to school with two of their children. The oldest was already grown up. They lived on the place until retirement. The land was then sold to a neighbour who

already farmed and is probably a part of a larger operation. The house stands empty or perhaps is no longer there anymore. So ends the story of Fred Sloman’s homestead, while Joe Sloman’s homestead is still in the family owned by great-grandchildren.

secretive,” she said. “The daycare is an important one coming up.” In the earlier economic development report, it was stated that the Viking Daycare Committee had met with Shiv Dutt to discuss his plans for a new daycare facility in Viking, which would be located in the former pharmacy building on main street. Other councillors said the idea of a meeting is futile as very few residents tend to show up. However, these sparse attendances were at open houses held at the Carena. At an open house, people can drift in or out and talk individually to officials at various tables who have information on certain subjects At a town hall meeting, people ask questions of councillors seated at the front and get a real time reply that everyone present can hear. Despite the lack of interest, Acres persisted in her request, stating: “Let’s give it a try.” The issue was not discussed further. Regional Water Fixed Fee Reserve Fund Councillor Dana

Ewashko spoke on the draft report given to council by Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission on the fixed fee annual reserve recovery fund instituted last year. “I’m glad as a commission we did what we did when we did it,” Ewashko said, referencing the institution of the reserve recovery fund. “But we should have done it 20 years ago. “It’s challenging,” he said, concerning the need to build a reserve fund to replace aging infrastructure on the waterline. “We didn’t inherit it, we had to buy our own pipeline. Now we have to buy another one (to replace the old one).” The original waterline was built during a bad drought in the early 1990s, and now extends from Tofield east to

Kinsella. The need for more water along the line was emphasized with Ewashko stating he believes a reservoir to

store water for eventual use might have to be built. Of course, the other option is to build more pipeline capacity.

A delegation attended Viking Council Aug. 19 on behalf of Rozmahel Developments to offer for sale three remaining lots owned by the company in the northwest part of town. Council heard that the company, started in 1978 with 38 lots, intends to liquidate its remaining land holdings, which consist of three developed lots each about an acre in size. As the town has used the lots for snow removal and disposal activity, they were being offered to the town. Council took the information but more discussion will be needed before making a decision. CAO Report “The taxes are coming in, which is good,” said town CAO Don McLeod, in his verbal report to council. Meanwhile, there have been 26 hookups to the town’s internet provider service as of this last council meeting. CAO McLeod reported that the forms have been sent into the CRTC for the town “to become an internet service provider.” “By all accounts the Brettzky weekend was a success,” his report stated. “There were no problems encountered at the rink other than a light sensor in one of the dressing rooms malfunctioned and temporary lighting had to be brought in.” It was reported that wet weather delayed some projects around town. “We hope that the remainder of the sidewalk program will/should be completed this fall,” he said. “Also, the drainage project on 50 Street may have to be done later in the fall.” Walking Trail Grant Supported Councillor Judy Acres asked for council’s support in a Walking Trail Society grant application. Acres said the society requires a letter from the town supporting the application. Funds received would go

towards surfacing the trail and installing four benches along the route. Pavement Repairs Councillor Clint Nearing asked if the company which did the work on the pavement this year would be coming back to correct cracks in front of the Lamplighter Motel and on 48th Street. Both are collecting water, he said. CAO McLeod said the company is expected to come back to do this remediation work. Public Auction Set for Five Properties Council set a public auction date of Sept. 18 at 1 p.m. for the sale of five properties taken over due to tax arrears. Reserve bids were set at a market value of $5,000. Acres Proposes Town Hall Meeting Councillor Acres called on the town to hold a town hall meeting, stating that, “a number of issues are going on around town. “People have the wrong information.,” she said, adding: “At one time we talked about doing this twice yearly. “There are still people who think council meetings are private and
