Fun at Irma Santa Day Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Irma Santa Day held on Saturday, December 14 proved to be full of fun events for one and all to enjoy. There was plenty of action at the Irma Fire and Rescue hall with a turkey shoot underway. All day young and old alike lined up for their chance to win a turkey by hitting a drawing of one accurately.
Also available were plenty of hot dogs on a bun for hungry patrons visiting and socializing with one another. The Irma School was also a centre of attraction with the gianr Christmas market in the auditorium. A wide variety of items were on display to tempt the shopper. Then Santa Claus arrived and families lined up to have their photo taken with him, and receive a bag of goodies. A luncheon was served at the New Horizons
Club, plus food was available at the Arena Concession where people could come and watch hockey games. Tractor pulled wagon rides were also available and many took advantage of the chance to tour around town in this unique mode of transportation. Despite the chilly weather, many came out to enjoy a chance to shop, visit, compete for a turkey, take a won ride, watch hockey and may other activities kicking off the holidays.

JOHN’S RANT
Freeland resignation should be the last stand of Trudeau Liberals So Canada’s feminist prime minister has stood tall again as another strong female member of his cabinet has had enough of his dithering idiocy. On the day she was to deliver the better late than never fall financial statement, Chrystia Freeland pulled the pin on working alongside Justin Trudeau and up and quit. So that fall statement became a winter statem e n t introduced quickly by Liberal house leader Karina Gould who then tabled it without discussion.. With a Prime Minister who self admits to not caring about financial statements does it really matter? Well to my pocket book it does, and it should to the rest of Canada. Really a $62 billion deficit? Freeland in her resignation statement said, “On Friday, you
(Trudeau) told me you no longer want me to serve as your Finance Minister and offered me another position in the Cabinet,” “For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada.” She added the threat of 25 per cent tariffs from U.S. presidentelect Donald Trump wasn’t being taken as seriously as it should be by the Prime Minister’s Office. What? ... didn’t the child actor’s visit to see Trump earlier this month in Florida not convince the orange man to drop his threats against the governor of the 51st State? “We need to take that threat extremely seriously,” Freeland continued in her post. “That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a
coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment. Well Freeland has a better understanding of the Canadian psyche than sock boy does. So while Trudeau and his office minions dithered, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith worked with colleagues from the western states on ways to move oil and gas stressing the importance of the Albertan black gold to the U.S. economy. Then, she later added plans to strengthen the Alberta border as requested by the incoming Trump regime. She did this in advance of any statement from Trudeau, with Alberta Public Safety and Emergency Services Minister Mike Ellis adding plans to upgrade our border secu-
rity with Montana had been in the works for some time. Knowing any movement from Ottawa on border security would be tied up in bureaucracy and would likely be centred on Ontario and Quebec, rather than the west, Smith took a strong proactive stance. The feminist Trudeau has been rambling about a Team Canada approach but it’s becoming rapidly apparent he’s only about Team Trudeau. He spitefully slammed the U.S. electorate last week stating they had elected a U.S. president named Trump when they should have elected a strong woman president in Kamala Harris. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Harris isn’t qualified to be Vice President, but who knew what Joe Biden was thinking with that one. She cer-
tainly wasn’t qualified to be president when she wouldn’t even give interviews during the campaign, instead spending huge amounts of money on support from U.S. left wing influencers and entertainers. That strategy didn’t work so well. Trudeau takes Harris’ side, as the strong feminist he is, but fails to recognize strong women leaders in Canada such as Smith, Premier of Alberta; Rachel Notley, former Premier of Alberta; Alison Redford, former Premier of Alberta; Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada, former cabinet ministers Jody Wilson Raybould, Jane Philpott, and now Chrystia Freeland and several other women who have led political parties in Canada. But now Trudeau hails Kamala Harris. No word about Kristi

Noem, Governor of South Dakota who is also touted as the next possible director of U.S. Homeland Security under Trump. It will be this strong woman who will guide the U.S. response to border issues not only along the southern U.S. border but along the one here in the north. Premier Smith has met with Noem and is active on strengthening Alberta’s portion of the northern border. These two women are strong leaders! They meet and make visible moves. But Trudeau turfs his strong female ministers. Bye, bye Justin. Get out now. I hope Jagmeet Singh, who tied himself so tightly to Trudeau, will now cut that strong tie and call an election. This country not only needs it, it deserves it. JOHN MATHER

WORD ON THE STREET Complaint of fraudulent charges after card used at local gas station On December 9, police received a complaint of fraudulent purchases made with a credit card. The complainant reported he used his credit card at a local gas station and later that night was advised of five to six fraudulent charges by his credit card company. He was concerned there might be a card skimmer at the gas station. His card was cancelled and replaced and the fraudulent charges were reversed. That afternoon, police conducted a well-being check on an individual after receiving information of possible domestic abuse occurring. The person in question was spoken to and stated she did not want police involvement at this time.
On December 10, police received a call for assistance in removing an unwanted person from a residence in Viking. The complainant called back a short time later and advised the person in question had departed and he did not want police to attend. On December 11, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle parked in front of a residence in Bruce. The complainant was concerned it might be a stolen vehicle. Police were able to contact the person who had been driving the vehicle and determined it had not been stolen. It was later removed by the driver and the complainant was updated. On December 12, CN Police advised
that a vehicle had struck a crossing gate causing damage to it. CN had their technical people en route and just wanted police aware. That evening, police received a complaint of an erratic driver westbound on Highway 14. Police made patrols in the area but did not locate the vehicle in question. On December 15, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 14. A patrol was made and the vehicle in question was located parked on a side road. The driver provided a breath sample on an approved screening device as well as performed a Field Sobriety test and passed both. She advised she was tired and had pulled over
to rest. She was warned about her driving and allowed to carry on her way. That same night, police conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that was exceeding the speed limit. The driver was issued a violation ticket for driving a motor vehicle without licence plates properly displayed. Viking RCMP would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the “Stuff the Cruiser” event held on December 13 in support of our local Christmas Hamper program. Your generosity is much appreciated. Word on the Street will return in the New Year. Merry Christmas to all and please stay safe over the holiday season.

Beaver County CAO provides yearly review of 2024 initiatives Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County Council heard an overview of the county’s economic outlook and finances in helping to determine budgetary considerations for the upcoming year. Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kayleena Spiess said she was “pleased to report significant progress on the original 57 projects,” at the end of the second year of a four-year corporate business plan (CBP). Spiess said that 70 per cent of the projects were completed and another 21 per cent were still underway. Spiess called the CBP) “a living document” that adjusts to “the county’s evolving needs.” Other such new priorities set for 2024 were set by council and are currently underway, she said, but are not completed at this time. She called new budget software “a valuable tool,” adding: “Looking ahead this software will allow us to seamlessly track and display year over year changes for our newly organized budgets.” Spiess said this would mark “a strong step
toward enhanced clarity and accountability in our financial management.” “The 2025 budget aligns closely with council’s strategic outcomes and corporate goals,” she said, “incorporating recently policy updates that guide administration in enhancing service delivery. “Key additions include expanding resources in public works and agriculture services along with a focus on streamlining businesses processes,” she explained. She added: “One of our primary objectives next year is to gain a clearer understanding of the appropriate service levels needed for urban outlets, recognizing their unique requirements.” Spiess said the past year working with council achieved targets like overcoming challenges, creating efficiencies and expanding opportunties. She said council provided “forward thinking support” and expressed gratitude to the public for their patience over the past year. “Rogether we’re building a strong enduring community,” she stated. Spiess listed her “top wins for 2-24,” including
a new Human Resources Implementation Projoect, which she said enhanced HR processes that increased efficiencies and improved support for the county administrative team. Progress has also been made in project management which “translated corporate goals into action, serving to add value to service delivery and keeping projects on track.” Also cited were advances made in the economic development sphere in regards to initiatives supporting business growth and community development. Spiess’ final “win” referred to public engagement citing “effective outreach…strengthening communication with residents.” However, a couple of challenges were also listed for 2024, including the county having to deal with the effects of ongoing inflation. “(Inflation) continues to impact budgets, highlighting the need for the tax levy to keep pace with inflation,” she said. As well, “completing key projects aimed at improving overall service delivery remains a priority,” she said.
MLA and Beaver Foundation officials pay festive visit to Holden Lodge
Beaver Foundation Manager Owen Ligard, Beaver Foundation Board Chair Gene Hrabec and Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely visited with residents of the Holden Lodge recently. “We enjoyed cake together and sang with the residents. Owen and Gene were good sports and wore the Santa hats I brought. The residents were entertained with the gesture,” Lovley reported.

Landmark Paragon Theatre demolition finally underway
OBITUARIES Guy Noel Fortier
Nov. 1, 1945 to Dec. 15, 2024
The contractor began demolishing the historic Paragon Theatre in Holden this week after several delays, including cold weather, that kept the work from being done over a period of weeks. Last week, workers were busy removing the asbestos insulation discovered after attempting to start the demo the week before that. However, now it is well and truly underway. KARI JANZEN PHOTOS

Canada Post strike/lockout comes to an end after Labour Minister calls ‘timeout’ Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter Friday, Dec. 13 was a bad day for CUPW as Federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon invoked his authority under the Canada Labour Code to ask the Canada Industrial Relations Board to assess the likelihood of the two parties reacing negotiated agreements by the end of 2024 under the current circumstances. “And if the CIRB considers this unlikely, to order the Canada Post Corporation and all employees represented by CUPW to resume and continue their operations and durites, and to extend the terms of the existing collective agreements until May 22, 2025.” MacKinnon also said, “The ongoing conflict between the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post has reached a critical
point. The service disruptions resulting from this conflict have had a significant impact on Canadians, small businesses, charities, seniors, Indigenous Peoples, as well as more remote territories and communities. “This is particularly difficult during this period when many people rely on postal services to receive essential parcels such as medications and official documents.” Canada Post said Friday it was reviewing the details of Minister MacKinnon’s announcement “to ensure we are prepared to fully participate in the process and comply with the Minister’s directive. “While that unfolds, we look forward to welcoming our employees back to work and serving Canadians and customers. “We will take all appropriate steps to support that process as quickly as
possible given the direction provided to us by the Minister. “ CUPW says, “This order continues a deeply troubling pattern in which successive federal governments have used back-to-work legislation or, in this case, its arbitrary powers to let employers off the hook from bargaining in good faith. “What employer would move on anything when they know the government will bail them out? Once again, the government has chosen capital over workers by taking away our leverage to get a good deal.” The union also said that it has been informed that the CIRB hearing will be held “shortly, possibly as early as this weekend.” An announcement Monday morning said that Canada Post workers would return to work Tuesday, Dec. 17. MacKinnon said “The CIRB has
found that Canada Post and CUPW are unlikely to reach a deal by the end of the year. “The Board has therefore ordered an extension of the current collective agreements and a resumption of operations.” Workers will enjoy an immediate wage increase. Canada Post said Monday, “While the terms of the existing collective agreements will be extended until May 22, 2025, we also put forward an offer to implement a wage increase of five per cent for employees, which was proposed in the company’s last global offer." The retroactive pay will come in two parts. One is in time for Christmas in the form of an upfront payment of $1,000 for all regular employees and $500 for temporary employees based on a minimum number of hours. The rest will be paid out by the end of January 2025.
Rough weekend for Irma Aces with two losses Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter
On Wednesday, Dec. 11, the Sedgewick Sabres hosted the Irma Aces, playing to a 4-1 win. There was no scoring in the first period from either team. Curtis McKinlay scored the first goal for the Sabres, from Clay Lang and Carter Ortman, on a power play. Irma’s Zach Mackay scored in the last seconds of the period, from Taylor
Schubada, to tie it up 1-1 heading into the final period of play. In the third, Ortman scored, unassisted, to take the Sabres ahead 2-1, then Clay Lang solidified the lead on a power play goal, from Jesse Reeds and Ortman to make it 3-1. Ortman scored his second of the night, from McKinlay and Dalton Zemanek, on a powerplay, to make it a 4-1 final for the Sabres. Travis Child took the win in goal for the Sabres, while Wyatt Copeland took
the loss for Irma; shots were 25-29 Sabres. Ortman had an outstanding four-point night. On Saturday, the Aces hosted the Provost Combines, coming away with a 6-4 loss. The two teams were tied 4-4 heading into the final period, where the Combines scored two unanswered goals for the win. No game stats were available at press time. After weekend play, the Oyen Eagles sit atop the league, with 16 points. Provost sits in second with 15 points,
and Sedgewick just a point behind in third. Stettler is in fourth place with 12 points, Hughenden in fifth with 10 points, Wainwright in sixth with eight points, and Irma and Delburne are tied for ninths with six points each. Forestburg sits at four points and Coronation at 1. This coming Saturday, Dec. 21, will see the Acres head to Stettler for a game rescheduled from Nov. 23, before taking the rest of the year off.
