Viking Christmas Celebrations Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking's Community Christmas celebration was a festive occasion for everyone on Friday, Dec. 6, with a day full of activities designed to light up the holiday season.

A community lunch at the Carena was the occasion for a hearty turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

The Ratte family entertained with classical and holiday music while a Stuff the Truck - Food Bank Drive took place outside the Carena.

Viking Mayor Jason Ritchie welcomed everyone, and County Councillor Dale Pederson brought greetings from Beaver County. Also on hand was Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely who promised to come back in January to visit Viking Council.

Pastor Alvin Sorenson of Golden Valley Lutheran Church led the crowd in thanksgiving prayer before the meal began.

A cheque presentation of $500 was made to Viking/Beaver FCSS Director Dawn Chrystian from the Town of Viking's Mayor Ritchie and Councillor Judy Acres.

"The Town is sponsoring a family of four for a Christmas hamper and presents, plus a family of two for a hamper and gifts," said Ritchie.

The highlight of the festivities was the Parade of Lights in downtown Viking. Eighteen entries included a group of horses for the first time this year.

Judges this year were Andrew Sorenson, and town councillors Debbie O'Toole-Balaban and Clint Nearing. First place went to Viking Esso, second place to Vialta Lodge, and third place to Home Hardware.

Then Santa Claus made his jolly appearance towards the end of the parade, laughing, talking, and shaking hands with the crowd of people lined up along Main Street.

Following the parade, a tree lighting ceremony took place at Troll Park, with lighted candles and prayers for the upcoming Christmas season.

Everyone headed for the Carena to listen to carollers and music by Saskatune Jam. ATB Financial sponsored free pictures with Santa, and Vision Credit Union handed out free hot dogs and pop.

On the ice, many enjoyed free public skating courtesy of the Town of Viking. For a few hours, the Carena rocked with music, visiting, and the festivities of the season to top off a great community Christmas celebration.

Club Reporters

The Holden 4-H Beef Club held their last meeting of 2019 on December 5, at the Holden Complex.

We started the meeting off by going around the table asking each member to stand up and tell everyone what they were doing over Christmas holidays.

Chores and hanging out with family seemed to be the most popular.

On December 1 the beef club had eight members attend the Regional Volleyball Tournament held in Vermilion. A total of 17 teams from all over Alberta played some intense games of volleyball and had a blast. It was nice to know some kids can put their cowboy boots to the side and bring out the sneakers and show their athletic side. Glad everyone had a great time.

At this meeting we also discussed some upcoming dates for the new year.

Our annual pancake supper held at the Holden Community hall will be held on Feb. 25, 2020. This is our main fundraiser for the 4-H year so come out and support our club and have some delicious pancakes, sausages, and eggs.

We will be wrapping up 2019 as a club at the Vegreville Bowling Lanes on December 15. An evening of bowling, laughs, secret Santa, and Boston Pizza has been booked for all the beef club families to come out and enjoy. We are all looking forward to a fun and enjoyable evening.

We will be starting off the 2020 year going to the Oil Kings hockey game at Rogers Place on January 5. This is always a group favourite for everyone because we get really good seats and get to stop for McDonald’s on our way home.

After we finished the meeting Taylor Chomik organized a few 'minute to win it' games for the members to attempt. Let’s just say we need more practice on those.

Our next 4-H meeting will be on January 3, 2020 at the Holden Complex.

The Holden 4-H Beef Club would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Luke Brooke Club Reporter

On November 22-23, the junior fall fling overnight camp at the Bonnyville Notre Dame High School was held.

Two of our junior Viking members attended. They did crafts, went swimming and had a dance.

Our first community service activity was held Nov. 17. We cleaned up the hall for the Kinsella Performing Arts Guild after their fall show. We stacked chairs and tables, washed dishes, and set up the tables for bingo. After the cleanup, members were given treats and baking from the night before for which we are grateful.

December 2 was the club monthly meeting where we talked about some upcoming activities.

We will be handing out ordered cookie dough on December 12. There will be a few extra pails of different flavours for sale if you had not been able to order before the deadline.

We're grateful to everyone that supported our club fundraiser by buying cookie dough! There were

some people asking about 4-H cookbooks. There are three different cookbooks from which to pick. If you would like to order, go to the Farmer’s Market December 12 to order and we will deliver when they arrive.

Our club's Public Speaking activity is scheduled for February 7, and the Beaver District Public Speaking activity is on March 1. If you would like to volunteer to judge, call a parent or member of the 4-H Beef Club.

The Christmas parade was on December 6 and the 4-H club put a float in.

Doug Hogstead of 3D Picker Services let us use his warm building, and Loren and Lisa Hogstead let us use the truck and trailer. We are also grateful to Food With Flair for the donuts and hot chocolate, and all the club members and parents for helping set up the float.

There was a lot of effort put into the float decorating by all and it was a very exciting night!

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Opinion Thank you for the Thank Yous

Dear Editor: An open letter to The Canadian Taxpayers Federation and similar publications: Stop sugar coating Premier Kenney.

Kenney signed so he also knew and agreed or was otherwise irresponsible for doing so.

The better solution would be a provincial sales tax - that way we would not be required to send as much Fed Transfer payments because our verifiable tax base would be visibly higher which means less equalization paid by Albertans.

It is doubtful Federal Tories will ever challenge FTF to Quebec as they have not done so before, and Federal Tories are usually content with just getting elected to give themselves a job with a pretentious role without actual commitment to resolve the unfairness of FTF issues.

With a de facto provincial tax, Alberta Government could then give rebates for heating and fuel - instead of blowing $30 million for posh job creation for failed Tory politicians to promote oil and gas which we already know is a valued industry. The only valid authority to force the pipelines in BC and Quebec still remains in Federal Government jurisdiction and pervue. Alberta government petro-lobby million dollar Tshirts will not change that obvious fact nor will Federal Tories ever force the east to change.

Maybe a better use of Alberta's $30 million petro-lobby budget, is the provincial government should instead send funding to Edmonton Hope Mission to deal with the homeless people forced to live in their tent village of downtown Edmonton. It rained most of summer - now it is getting very cold outside. They are also Albertans in dire need of some help.

Agreement #40005387 Publications Mail Registration No.09205

Please do not send funds to the city government who will continue to ignore the problem or they will again spend tax money on foreign artwork sponsorship, or more multi-million dollar shelters for buses but not for bus riders or other people in need.

Meanwhile the city continues to overtax resident homeowners. To calculate property taxes, the city has been selecting only the highest value selling properties for City comparables - not the average value as per the Municipal Government Act. We have previously found city appointed tax appeal tribunals to be a farce - as well as Queen's Bench Court is not a level playing field nor fair impartial judges who instead play politics, allowing city to continue tax abuses rather than upholding laws, fairness and common good of taxpayers. Judges we dealt with "got off" on being abusive and evasive - fulfilling their ego needs instead of respecting the laws and fundamental citizen rights, or principles of fairness and honesty by dealing with the main issue facts and evidence before them.

We taxpayers and citizens all need an independent public committee to oversee law courts, judges and lawyers with the power to issue demerits, fines, suspensions, and to recommend disbarment or judicial firing. We also need wage and fee controls for legal profession (like doctors, dentists, engineers, etc.) so that more average income people could actually afford legal counsel for fair trials, not just the wealthy, big business and governments. That should also lower insurances rates and give accident victims a larger share of court awards and pre-trial settlements.

LETTER Stop sugar coating Kenney

One of the best things about writing an opinion piece is when it touches people. I get contacted on occasion by people who have said that what they had read may have affected how they thought about things, or maybe even helped them in a personal way.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been contacted on the contrary as well - many times. A lot more in fact. With those people, I ask them to write their opinions down and we will run them as a letter to the editor. It’s only fair that if I am allowed to write down my opinions publicly, that readers have the same right. Even if it totally disagrees with my views, it will be run as long as it legally isn’t hurting someone else (feelings excluded, we’re all allowed to disagree.)

I won’t give names because some of these encounters are very private, like the one instance many years ago when a woman I barely knew came into the office with outstretched arms to give me a huge, teary-eyed hug. She told me that something I wrote bonded her family back together. How’s that for a great day?

I am sure nurses, EMTs, doctors, teachers, and many other professions experience this too on occasion. It’s few and far between in this business, but it is moving when someone takes their own time to contact me just to say that somehow I have made a difference in their lives. It’s so rewarding.

This has happened to me quite recently, when someone who read about my colonoscopy escapades decided to do themselves a favour and book an overdue appointment. Another person was inspired to quit smoking after having read the article about me celebrating 25 years smoke-free. Congratulations to them. Last week I was contacted privately about another article. You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated. Thank you.

It’s really easy to complain about things. I have done it. Seemingly getting back at someone who has done you wrong can be momentarily satisfying. But that feeling fades quite quickly, and what is left is a hollowness and a feeling of guilt.

We all have our moments, right?

My personal policy has always been to take the time to let people know if something happens that I believe might be exceptional. I have thanked employees, let managers know about outstanding service (especially from young people), and have sent little gifts and thank you cards. What a great feeling knowing I may have made someone’s day.

It’s a much better than maybe having ruined a day for someone.

Readers have certainly been making my days a lot better recently.

Thank you for that.

Word on the Street: Canvasser deemed legitimate On December 2, police received a call of an abandoned vehicle in some trees northeast of Viking. Police attended the location and the registered owner of the vehicle arrived on scene shortly after. It was learned the owner’s daughter had been driving and had lost control of the vehicle and struck the trees. A collision report was completed and the driver was issued a violation ticket for Sec. 2(1)(a) UHRRRDrive at Unreasonable Speed.

Later that morning,

Fish and Wildlife contacted police to assist them with an injured deer east of Viking. Police attended and dealt with the matter.

That afternoon, a citizen attended the detachment to report he had sold a phone to a male in Vegreville and did not receive an e-transfer as agreed upon. The matter was forwarded to Vegreville RCMP for follow up.

Later that day, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle that had pulled out of a farm

yard in the Bruce area and sped away. Police made a patrol and forwarded the information to Vegreville RCMP as well. Vegreville RCMP located the vehicle in question and initiated a traffic stop. The driver explained he was in the area selling firewood and had pulled into the property as his GPS was not working properly. He was allowed to continue on his way and the complainants were updated.

On December 3, police received a complaint of an attempted phone scam. The complainant

advised she had been receiving calls from someone claiming to be with the Canadian Revenue Agency. She advised she would hang up when they stated who they were so was not victimized in any way.

That afternoon, a citizen called police to report she had heard a loud banging noise during the night and thought it might be gunshots. Police advised her to call when the incident is occurring so patrols can be made at the time.

That night, police received another call

Looking Back: have we over-commercialized Christmas?

Irene Toverud As soon as Thanksgiving is over, we immediately turn our minds to Christmas, which was never thought of in the old days. Out in the country there was no power for light, and only coal oil and later gas lamps provided light for indoors.

We always had a tree at our house which was not put up until Christmas Eve. Dad brought a tree home from town. They were sold at the Lumber Yard, if I remember right.

They came there in bunches and being real they had to be kept frozen. There were no artificial trees then. I can still see them leaning up

against the wall. They were flattened so when he brought one home we held our breath waiting to see that it would open up with branches even all around, and some years they were a bit lopsided. Of necessity, it was left outside until the morning before Christmas Eve, or even the day before, and thawed before it was put up. To us young ones, it was forever until Christmas Day. Of course, we had written to Santa promising to be good and not fight which turned into a threat as one would say, "I will tell Santa on you."

We faithfully hung up our stockings on the back of chairs on

Christmas Eve. Our brother Jimmy wanted a big rubber ball one year so Mom told him to hang up his pants to hold one if Santa granted his wish.

Santa did. There was

always an orange in our stockings Christmas morning. That was a real treat because that was the only time we saw one, an apple and, of See IRENE P13

The club’s “Mission Statement” states, we are to provide members an opportunity to share interests, skills, and talents as well as developing leadership, organizational, and participation skills, regardless of age, sex, or handicap.

Over the years, we have participated in local parades, built replicates of old schools in the area, conducted Bake Sales, Whist Parties, Floor Curling Bonspiels, catered to local breakfasts and lunches, made many useable articles in their Carpentry Room, cleaned Camp Sites, and helped at our local Bingo.

Each year we have donated to one or more charitable organizations in the Kinsella area.

Steak Night chance to celebrate new chiller for Holden Complex

A group of those involved with upgrading at the Holden Complex, including a recently installed ice chiller, and invited guests pose for a group photo after the celebration during the Holden Ag Society's fundraising Steak Night Saturday.

PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTO

Patricia Harcourt Steak Night at the Holden Complex Saturday night was a chance to celebrate the installation of a new chiller that will allow for many more hockey games and other winter activities in the years to come.

"Tonight we are celebrating the completion of our new chiller!" said Carrie Hrabec, secretary of the Holden Agricultural Society.

"This project has been at least three years in the making.

"A lot of hard work and a lot of fundraising has been done to achieve this," she said.

"We want to say 'thanks' to Beaver County, Village of Holden, and the

Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) for your grants.

Hrabec also paid tribute to past president Christine Suchy "for starting us on this journey," and to board treasurer Gail Alger "for all the work to attain our grants."

Tributes also went to the members of the Agricultural Society Board "for helping with the steak dinners, concessions, etc. to raise money," for this project.

Project Manager Clint Zemlak was given kudos as well "for all the footwork (done) here. He has worked on the dressing rooms, on the concession reno, the ice chiller, and new lines

on the ice," she said, noting the Zemlak family has worked hard "to keep this complex going and we appreciate it.

"He has worked tirelessly on this building," Hrabec added, with one new dressing room completed and two more in the process of being completed.

Gene Hrabec, who is also Division 3 councillor for Beaver County, received special mention for cooking the steaks for the fundraising steak functions held monthly at the complex.

Keeping the complex going has been the work of the ag society over many years. The complex started up in 1974 and has been a core part of the village

by hosting a variety of functions over the years.

"The Holden Ag Society has worked really hard to keep this facility going for the Holden area with an updated kitchen, environmental review, recreation side update, new dressing rooms, new condenser, and now a new chiller.

"Thank you for all your support," she concluded, to cheers and applause from those present. On hand was new ag society President Lucy Upham, as well as county councillors Barry Bruce (Division 4), Dale Pederson (Division 5), and Kevin Smook (Division 1).

The Village of Holden was represented by

Mayor Mark Giebelhaus.

Also on hand were Berg Chilling Systems' owner Trent Davis and

services manager Neil Styre, and others involved in the project over the period of years.

County Council update Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council was asked by administration to provide direction with respect to support for the Friends of Ryley School Society’s Christmas Turkey Dinner.

The county received a request for funding from the society for financial support for their turkey dinner.

However, the request fell outside the parametres of the Community Support Requests Policy.

The Community Sponsorship Policy stated that schools within Beaver County can request up to $200 worth of promotional items every year, said Community Development officer Susan Lungal.

She suggested substituting the funding request for promotional items.

Council agreed with the suggestion and passed a motion to provide $100 to each school in the county for the same purpose.

Viking Health Foundation Request Tabled Beaver County Council tabled a request for financial support from Viking Health Foundation pending further information. “The Viking Health Foundation has submitted a request for financial support to assist with costs associated with its physician recruitment package,� stated Assistant CAO Margaret Jones.

She told council that under the Health Foundation Support Policy, the foundations can be assisted in various ways: - Written endorsements to accompany grant sources; - In-Kind support for advice on available funding sources: - Door prizes, silent auction items, etc. for fundraising events; - Grant funding - A budget of $20,000 is available in the 2019 budget for support to both the Tofield and the Viking Health Foundations. The funding is shared between the two foundations based on population. The Viking Health Foundation is eligible for $7,133.

In 2015 the Viking Health Foundation received a Community Support Grant of $2,500 for the helipad project, and in 2014 it received Health Foundation Support Grants of $14,266 for 2013-14.

Jones said the request did not come with the back up information that is required in the form of financial statement demonstrating financial need, a

business plan, annual reports showing the benefits of previous projects, and matching funding from the Town of Viking.

Jones also pointed out that Alberta Health Services is responsible for physician recruitment. “It is unclear what influence the Viking Health Foundation will have on the selection of replacement physicians at the Viking Health Centre,� she said.

Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson said he was “in favour of this consideration.� And Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook said that, although the original spirit of the request was for recruiting doctors, “it could be used for other things.�

Smook, who sits on the Tofield and Area Health Foundation Board, agreed it was the province that recruits doctors.

But the committee at his end of the county that was formed to recruit physicians morphed into an attraction and retention committee which “is different from recruitment.�

Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) said that, “health services on the east and west end of the county are vital,� and felt the county should have financial input.

However, he said the county should first see presentations from the foundations before committing.

Pederson replied that the Viking and area health foundation board was willing to come to the county to make such a presentation.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec favoured tabling and getting the financial information as per the county policy. “I do believe we need to support it,� he said. “I just think we should have all of the information in front of us.� “Health services play an important role in Beaver County,� added Kallal.

Smook agreed: “It’s money well spent.�

A motion to table the request pending further information and presentation was carried.

County Policing Costs to Rise Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec reported that policing costs for the county are due to rise as the province increases the amount local jurisdictions have to pay. “We will pay for policing in the New Year,� he said, noting “this will be a budget issue� for the county’s 2020 budget. Costs are expected to rise from 10 per cent to 30 per cent over the next See COUNCIL BCC3

Council Continued from BCC2 three years, he estimated.

Hrabec also reported that the Beaver Foundation Board upon which he sits as a county representative “is working hard on a tight budget.” The foundation oversees lodges and manors for seniors in the county.

“All the committees we’ve been sitting on the budgets have been tough this year,” he said, adding the afternoon’s budget discussions county council was scheduled to make would also be difficult.

Incorporation Concerns Ongoing Hrabec said the responses he received from Beaver Municipal Solutions regarding the incorporation of BMS into Claystone Inc. were still problematic for him.

“I still have concerns,” he said, stating he wanted to put it into a motion the issues he had with the municipally controlled corporation.

“I would prefer time lines be set,” he said, “it’s critical these questions be answered before going to a public meeting…My ques-

tion is when would it be practical? I assume BMS doesn’t want to drag its feet.”

Reeve Kallal expressed his ongoing concern about the Good Neighbour Grant and his position that the Village of Ryley gets too much compared to the county.

Under the grant, BMS gives two-thirds or $77,000 to Ryley and one-third or $37,000 to Beaver County.

BMS suggested Kallal’s request for further funds be deferred until 2021 so the new MCC could deal with

it. “I consider that stalling,” he said. “I don’t see why they can’t decide this with the old board.”

Kallal said that the county needs the funding. “I think that’s a very unfair way to resolve that request.”

The issue of cumulative effects of county residents living adjacent to the landfill was also discussed, including the mud tracked onto the highway, the birds and other vermin around the landfill, odours, and noise.

“If they can’t answer any

Notice of the 43rd

cumulative effects questions,” said Hrabec of BMS, “then that’s a deal breaker.”

“I think we’ve been crystal clear,” said Kallal, about what the issues the county has with the landfill and its incorporation.

“BMS is dancing around (the questions), pushing it to 2021,” he said, calling it “baloney…Beaver County is 49 per cent owner (of the BMS landfill) and we’re getting pushed around.”

Kallal agreed with Hrabec, “Nothing’s going ahead until this is dealt with.”

Beaver County Council is pleased to announce the approval of the Beaver County Strategic Plan (2020 – 2030). The Plan was approved unanimously at the Council Meeting of November 20, 2019. The Strategic Plan serves as an aspirational guiding document created to maximize the collective efforts of our community and achieve the most beneficial results possible.

Strategic plans have always been useful to align collective effort but have historically been under-utilized to drive decision-making. There are numerous reasons for this but one of the biggest contributors has been our growth. When times are relatively good, it can be difficult to understand the need to focus on a long-term plan with short, medium, and long-term targets.

As the community is likely aware, Beaver County is facing numerous significant challenges as we look to the future. These include expectations from a new Provincial Government, an assessment base that is shrinking in some key areas, and global influences that are being felt much closer to home than ever before. In times like these, a long-term plan for prosperity is critical for our future success.

This Strategic Plan is different than many others that have preceded it and many others from other municipalities. Our Strategic Plan has goal statements and complementary results as the drivers for future decision- making. These elements provide more clarity than has ever been seen in our Strategic Plans and raises the bar for common understanding and subsequent expectations for success.

As Reeve Jim Kallal has stated “this version of the Beaver County Strategic Plan sets a new standard for clarity of purpose while also being laser-focused on accountability for results. I am proud of the community’s collective efforts to get us here and excited to see Beaver County as a leader among other municipalities.”

Irma Santa Days a great time for all in attendance

Patricia Harcourt Editor

With snow gently falling in the streets of Irma Saturday, the Christmas spirit seemed alive and well for Santa Day fun and activities.

The Irma Firehall was full of people enjoying hot dogs and hot chocolate, and other treats. Every year the Irma Fish and Game Club hosts the Turkey Shoot and people who won a turkey were seen walking out of the hall with their prize.

The new Irma School gymnasium was full of vendors selling Christmas related wares and other items that

might make just the right Christmas gift this year.

A horse drawn wagon was also on hand for a time, sponsored by Holt Transport and Agri Carriers.

Lunch time the Avonglen Ladies held a hot meal for hungry patrons.

The Elks' Hall was the centre of activity for the kids, with a movie show at noon followed by a visit from Santa Claus.

Santa took the time to hear what the children wanted for Christmas and then posed for pictures. On top of all this other activity, people could go to the arena and watch minor hockey all day long as well.

The Weekly Review, Wednesday, December 11, 2019 - Page 13

Author and Viking native launches debut novel Submitted Writing under the pen name Katie Ardea, Magi Nams has released her debut novel, Braver Than You Know. With courage as its core theme, the book is a contemporary love story that holds a breath of fresh air, a whisper of grace, and an enthralling taste of suspense.

Set in southwestern Manitoba’s farming and ranching country on the slopes of Turtle Mountain, the novel features a strong heroine, a compassionate hero, the

Irene Continued from Page 5 course, always candy. And best of all, a present, usually what we asked for.

Only our parents knew that they all came from Eaton's or Simpson's catalogues.

The time came, of course, when we discovered Santa didn't exist.

There was disappointment but it really didn't last long as the presents still came, Santa or no Santa.

Remember the Christmas carols that rang out in the crisp outdoors from speakers set up when Vern Gilpin was postmaster? We need more of that.

I wonder now what little children think when they see Santa in every store, especially in the city.

It's fun to watch them, some are mesmerized, some scared and refuse to sit on his knee, some cry while parents attempt to take a picture. Of course, a

Canadian outdoors, inspirational elements, a love triangle, and a riveting thread of suspense.

Nams chose to set the story on Turtle Mountain because she and her husband, Dr. Vilis Nams of Dalhousie University, lived in the locale while he did his doctoral research on the hunting habits of striped skunks.

“I love the natural world and wanted to make the setting come alive for readers so they could experience it as though they were there,” Nams says. “And yes, my husband and I both got candy cane helps.

All fun and merriment aside there is sadness and loneliness for people who live alone with no family, or are bereaved, or have family breakups, or a divorce, etc. They may feel outside the loop. Several years ago the clergy of Viking organized a special church service, though not necessarily on Dec. 31, which has been specially written to include special hymns and a sermon to suit the occasion.

It is open to everyone.

What I found so special was the time going forward to light a candle for a loved one who has passed away. Although initially this service was meant for December 31, it is usually held on any day most convenient for all concerned.

It isn’t the day that counts but the feeling of closeness of friends and neighbours.

Finally, I absolutely refuse to buy cards that say Happy Holidays. But I will say Blessings and Merry Christmas every one.

sprayed by skunks!”

The novel’s heroine, Kimberley Colter, is a wildlife photographer striving to overcome a work-related emotional trauma. The hero, Lincoln Steele, is a cattle rancher who is a single father and has his own painful emotional issues to work through.

“I wanted the story to feature characters that readers would come to love despite, and perhaps because of, their flaws,” says Nams. “We all have battles to fight, whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. I created conflicts within the story that forced my main characters to face their fears and hurts and in doing so, create pathways toward healing. I think a lot of readers will be able to relate to Kimberley’s and Lincoln’s struggles.”

The other thing Nams wanted was suspense that delicious uncertainty about what’s going to happen next. “So, I put the ranch on the edge of

going under, gave the hero some competition from his best friend for Kimberley’s love, and placed Kimberley square in the middle of a lifethreatening situation more than once.”

Nams has broadcast personal essays on CBC radio, published dozens of articles in the children’s nature magazine, Ranger Rick, and independently published a travel memoir trilogy, Cry of the Kiwi: A Family’s New Zealand Adventure.

An avid birder, Nams chose the surname Ardea for her fiction pen name because it’s the first part of the scientific name of the great blue heron, Ardea herodias.

Braver Than You Know is available in print from Amazon and as an e-book from Amazon, Kobo, Apple, and Barnes & Noble. It is available to libraries as an e-book from Overdrive and will soon be available in print to bookstores and libraries through

IngramSpark.

Magi Nams, pen name Katie Ardea, grew up on the Nietfield family farm two miles east of Viking and graduated from Viking School to pursue undergraduate and post graduate studies in biology.
