Irma Aces fend off Oyen for exciting 7-6 win at home Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

Last weekend was busy for all the East Central Men’s Hockey League teams.

The Hughenden Jets were hosting the Irma Aces on Friday in Hughenden, where the two teams played to a 5-1 win for the Jets.

Irma got on the scoreboard first with a powerplay goal by Bowen Larson, from Tyler Fischer and Ross Herzog. The Jets tied it up with a goal from Nicholas Waring, assisted by Brett Dubuc and Matthew Swanson.

Brennan Anholt put the Jets ahead early in the second with a goal assisted

by Swanson, then Cameron Dion made it 3-1, assisted by Ryley Johnson.

The third period was all Hughenden, with a goal from Logan Morrison, assisted by Braden Crone and Dion to make it 4-1, then a final powerplay goal from Nick LaPorte, assisted by Jesse Damberger, for a 5-1 final.

Shots were 38-23 Jets; Tyson Soucy took the loss in goal for the Aces, and Wyatt Johnson took the win for the Jets.

On Saturday the Aces hosted the Oyen Eagles, coming away with a close 7-6 win.

Irma’s Holden Gwinn got on the scoreboard first, from Taylor Schubada and Tristan Hofer, then Tyler Ganie scored, unassisted, to put Irma up by two.

Oyen managed a single to make it 2-1, then Ross Herzog scored from Zach Mackay and Bradley Russnak to make it

3-1.

Oyen managed a second goal to make it 3-2, but Tristan Hofer scored late in the period, from Gwinn, to give Irma a 4-2 lead heading into the second period.

A powerplay goal from Oyen put them within one, at 4-3, but a powerplay goal from Irma by Schubada, from Mackay and Herzog, widened the lead to 5-3.

Mackay scored midway through the third to make it 6-3 Irma, then another powerplay goal from Oyen made it 6-4.

Oyen scored again to come within one, at 6-5, then with a minute-thirty left in the game, tied things up 6-all.

In the final seconds of the game, Paden Jonescue scored for the Aces, from Mackay and Herzog, to make it a 7-6 final in a very exciting game.

Shots were 38-35 Irma; Tyson Soucy got the win in goal for the Aces.

A last-minute change Saturday saw the Sedgewick Sabres move their game to Viking, where they hosted the Delburne Outlaws at the Carena, coming away with a 9-3 win.

This Friday, Jan. 24, will see Forestburg and Sedgewick play in Sedgewick as part of the Battle River Knights Hockey Days; gametime is 8:30 p.m.

The Aces will travel to Wainwright to take on the Rustlers on Friday.

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the Sabres will head to Stetter to take on the Imperials, and the Jets will host the Delburne Outlaws in Hughenden.

Irma will host the Coronation Royals on Saturday.

Viking RCMP targets idlers with education campaign This week the Viking RCMP will be on the alert for people who leave their cars idling on public streets.

“From January 20-24 from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. we will be proactively seeking out idling vehicles left unattended and make contact with the owner to educating them on the risks of leaving the vehicles idling,” said Sgt. Ray Stack, commanding officer of the detachment.

He added, however, that: “If it turns out it is remote started, that is perfect!

We won’t bother with the chat,”

adding some suggestions on how to prevent auto theft, which include; • Use of a remote starter or remain in the vehicle as it warms up.

• Never leave keys in the vehicle.

• Push button equipped vehicles can still be driven without the key present.

“I just want everyone aware in the event they see the RCMP checking on their running vehicle,” said Stack.

U13 Gas Kings host three game home stand Jeff Bird The Skully’s Oilfield U13 Gas Kings played host to a busy weekend at the Carena. Taking on the CNN Spurs Friday night they played hard right up to the last minute. With the goalie out the Spurs were able to tie the game late.

However, the Kings would finish off the game and earn the 5-5 tie against a very good team.

Peyton Bird had the hat trick while Avery Erickson and Kolt Morken chipped in each a goal of their own. Assists would go to Grayson Leblanc and Kaelen Hakes.

Saturday night would bring the Boyle Blazers to the Carena. The Gas Kings would continue their dominance over the Blazers this season with an 8-2 win. Peyton Bird lead the way with 4 goals. Easton Morken, Kolt Morken, Grayson Leblanc and Kaelen Hakes each had a goal in this one. Assists were led by Liam Doucette 3a, Kaelen Hakes 2a. Tyson Crocker, Emily Amundson, Jayden Bird and Trinity Morken all chipped in with one assist each.

Sunday afternoon, the Gas Kings had a tough battle in front of them with Barrhead in town.

Unfortunately, they battled injuries with star Goalie Taylen Place out due to a lower body injury. Kolt Morken stepped up and strapped on the pads. He showed a lot of heart in there and made some great saves. The team played extra hard defensively in front of him and held Barrhead to just 18 shots. Unfortunately, the Kings would fall 11-0 in the end finishing the weekend with a respectable .500 record.

The Skully’s U13 Gas Kings currently sit in a tie for 4th place with the CNN Spurs. With a bye weekend coming up, their next game will be at home January 31 versus Westlock at the Viking Carena Complex.

Report from MLA Jackie Lovely: New primary care model to pay doctors Our government is taking a significant step forward in strengthening the province’s health care system by introducing a new primary care physician compensation model. This innovative approach is designed to improve access to family physicians, ease pressures on the health care system, and stabilize hospital services across Alberta. It reflects our deep commitment to valuing the influential contributions of physicians who play a key role in the health and well-being of Albertans.

At the heart of this new model is a market and evidence-based approach that recognizes the critical work performed by family physicians. It ensures fair compensation by accounting for several key factors: the number of patients seen, the complexity of their care, and the time physicians spend on both direct and indirect patient care. These improvements aim to create a sustainable framework that supports physicians in providing exceptional primary care services.

One highlight of the new model is its focus on incentivizing full-time practice. Primary care physicians with a panel size of 500 or more patients will be eligible for the program, encouraging doctors to expand their patient panels and provide care to more Albertans. Additionally, physicians will see increased com-

pensation for maintaining high panel numbers, improving clinic technology, enhancing team-based care, and implementing efficiencies in their operations.

Another key feature is the introduction of an afterhours premium. This measure aims to encourage family physicians to offer after-hours care in their clinics, reducing the burden on emergency departments and urgent care centers. By addressing patient needs in a timely manner, this initiative not only improves access to care but also enhances the overall efficiency of Alberta’s health care system.

Recognizing the administrative obligations that come with modern medical practice, the new model also includes an additional 10 per cent compensation for the time physicians dedicate to administrative duties. This adjustment recognizes the importance of behind-the-scenes work that ensures the seamless delivery of care.

Our collaboration with the Alberta Medical Association was instrumental in developing this groundbreaking model. The result is a blended compensation system that incorporates elements of fee-for-service alongside non-fee-for-service components, making it the first family physician-focused model of its kind in Alberta.

The benefits extend beyond urban centers. Physicians practicing in eligible communities will receive additional payments through the Rural Remote and Northern Program. This aspect of the model highlights the government’s commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by rural and remote communities in accessing consistent health care.

The implementation timeline reflects a thoughtful and phased approach. Physicians can begin enrolling in the new compensation model in January 2025, with full implementation scheduled for the spring. This gradual rollout allows for a smooth transition and ensures that both physicians and patients experience the benefits without disruption.

This modern compensation model marks a decisive moment for health care in Alberta. By recognizing the vital contributions of family physicians and addressing systemic challenges, ourgovernment is taking concrete steps to improve access to primary care and ensure a healthier future for all Albertans. As we move forward, this initiative underlines the importance of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to the well-being of our communities.

Jackie Lovely, MLA, Camrose Constituency

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader likes Carney for PM replacement Dear Editor; In a time of profound global economic uncertainty, Canadians have a unique opportunity to embrace a leader whose vision transcends national borders and whose expertise is sought after on the world stage.

That leader is Mark Carney.

From his leadership at the Bank of Canada to his pivotal role as Governor of the Bank of England, Carney has consistently demonstrated that his approach is rooted in a deep understanding of both economics and the social responsibilities that accompany leadership.

While Carney’s economic achievements are well known, it is important for Canadians to recognize his unwavering commitment to the country’s future.

Carney’s understanding of the complex forces shaping global markets — from interest rates to trade policies — could be crucial in navigating Canada’s post-pandemic recovery.

His policy insight and experience can help guide Canada through the financial challenges that lie ahead

in the 21st century, ensuring that we are not only economically resilient but also socially equitable.

Critics may argue that Carney's international experience makes him more attuned to global concerns than to Canadian needs. Yet, his consistent focus on economic stability and sustainability has proven time and again that his priorities align with those of ordinary Canadians.

He is a man who knows how to balance the longterm interests of the economy and Canadian prosperity, and he understands that the two are inextricably linked.

Canadians should embrace the idea of Carney, not just as a Trudeau replacement for the Liberals, but as a practical choice for Prime Minister with real world experience having faced high pressure challenges in the past which could have had consequences with the wrong man at the helm. Do so not out of loyalty to a particular political ideology, but out of a shared commitment to the well-being of future generations.

Popular baby names in Alberta remain similar Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

It’s hard to say if Albertans are creatures of habit, or just running out of ideas, but as the Province released the top 10 baby names for girls and boys, not much has changed over the past seven years.

Noah was 2024s top boy name, one that’s been first in the top 10 for the last six years - with 243 new babies bearing this moniker. Oliver was this year’s second-most popular name, with 200 new Olivers. Oliver has hit the top 10 just three times in seven years.

Liam slipped to third place with 192 babies bearing this name in 2024, but held the top spot for seven years, from 2010 to 2016.

Theodore, in fourth place last year, came in fourth again at 183.

Henry, 157, and William, 146, remain popular, while Ethan seems to be making a comeback at number seven on this year’s list, with 140 babies. Ethan sat at the top of Alberta’s list for nine years, between 2001 and 2009.

Levi, Jack, and Lucas round out the top 10, with the latter two tied for 10th place. It’s the first time Levi has been in the top 10 since 2020.

Olivia remained in the top 10, as it has been for the past 12 years, with 183 babies. Charlotte is the second-most popular girl’s name with 163, with Amelia in third page, with 147. Those two flipflopped over last year.

Harper returned to the top 10 list for girls after a year off, Sophie hit the top 10 for the first time since 2011, and newcomer to the list altogether was Ellie, with 101 babies.

For the boys, the Greek and Roman gods were popular, with five Zeus, three Perseus, 14 Ares, six Apollos, 53 Atlas, and a nod to Norse mythology with one Freyr.

Place names were popular again this year, with 10 Bostons, seven Cairos, a Rio, two Texases, a Paris, a Houston, three Zealands, two Orlandos, eight Memphises, a Buffalo, and a Denver.

Thing names were a thing, too, in 2024, with Dino, Ring, Ice, Cloud,

North, Winter, and Wintersky.

Literature and music showed influences with a Drizzt, a Chesney, 10 Kylos, three Joaquins, a Dre, eight Ozzy, two Elvises and two Eltons. There were three Marios to one Luigi, one Dandy, and even one Invictus. Legend made the list, along with Mc and Holden, and Two. There was a Ford, but no Chev or Dodge.

There was a Wisdom, Sincere, Prayer, Messiah, Light, Joyous, Joy, Hosanna, Bliss, Blessed, Blessing, Brightness, Moses (seven), Jesus (three), Danté, Chosen (two), Christ, Testimony, and Heaven (two). There were eight boys named Wren, and one Saint-James.

There were 47 girls named Wren, plus variations. In fact this year saw a lot of different spellings of the same or a similar name. With Lily as an example, there are 25 different variations, from Lilley to Lily-Maria.

Mythology also showed up in girls’ names, from Persephone (two), Aoife, and Aries, as well as popular culture, with Onyxia, Ilona, Jolene, Sailor, Zendayah, Charlize, Channing, Shakira, Bellatrix, Renesmée, a ‘Princesskate’ and two girls named Crosby.

There was a Brevity, a Mystical, a Style, a November, Savvy, Unique, and even a Tuba.

Place names were super popular for girls this year, with three Irelands, six Indianas, 34 Brooklyns, seven Bristols, a Chicago, five Denvers, a Tennessee, a Texas, a Rosalind, one Galaxy, three Jerseys, and a Memphis.

There were 11 Amens, two Bethlehems, three Blessings, a Bliss, a Chosen, two Divines, one Dove, one Embrace, two girls named Eternity, one Godsglory, four Heavenlies, and one Heaven-Leigh.

There was a Gift, a Goodnews, an Icy, a Fedora, two Legacies, and two Novembers.

There was a Porsche, a Mercedes, and a Chevelle, and nine Azaleas.

More than 50,000 babies were born in Alberta in 2024, that represents the largest number for annual births since 2019.

Beaver County passes interim operating budget Patricia Harcourt The interim operating budget and 2025 capital budget was passed at the December 18 meeting of Beaver County Council.

A motion by Councillor Lionel Williams of Division 2 was passed to approve the 2025 Interim Operating Budget with total expenditures of $22,891,634 and a tax levy of $14,955,669.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec, representing Division 3, registered a recorded vote. Those in favour of the motion, which passed, were Reeve Kevin Smook for Division 1, Williams, Barry Bruce for Division 4, and Dale Pederson for Division 5. Voting against the motion was Hrabec.

Hrabec then made his own motion to approve a capital budget with total expenditures of $11,292,188, with a tax levy of $1,535,366, and the remaining $31,334 to be funded by reserves.

Reeve Smook requested a recorded vote which resulted in Hrabec and Pederson in favour and the rest opposed, so the motion failed.

“The 2025 interim budget anticipates a 2 per cent municipal mill rate increase excluding fire and emergency services, as well as police services contract which are separate mill rates,” said the report to council from Ryan Arndt, general manager of corporate services, under financial implications.

Arndt provided some background information to the budget,

stating that: “During the Budget Meetings held November 27-28 and December 4, 2024, Council discussed the draft budget presented

by Administration. The Interim Operating Budget and the Capital Budget presented today include the recommendations during the budget meetings as well as Council's adjustments and requests.

The adjustments include:$265,000 for the Kinsella Community Centre for roof repairs; $50,000 for the Tofield Golden Society expansion project; $9,000 increase for the awards and scholarships programs.

“There were no changes discussed on the proposed 2025 Capital Budget,” stated Arndt.

It is a requirement of the

Municipal Government Act that an interim budget be approved by December 31, 2024.

“Therefore, Administration recommends that Council approve the 2025 Interim Operating Budget and full approval of the 2025 Capital Budget,” he stated.

“During an interim budget process, data (including updated assessment information) will be collected and analyzed again to create a recommendation for full budget approval in April 2025,” stated Arndt.

Council will make a decision regarding the 2025 mill rates with final budget approval in April 2025.

Lornedale Cemetery provided options for debris removal Patricia Harcourt The Lornedale Cemetery Association asked Beaver County for financial help to have debris removed from the grounds.

Improvements to the cemetery grounds over several years resulted in an accumulation of cement and rebar. The cemetery board asked for the county’s help in removing the unwanted material.

Dan Blackie, general manager of the county’s infrastructure department, stated that the Lornedale Association receives $1,000 annually as part of the cemetery support program since 2016.

“This policy also states that requests made outside of the established guidelines will not normally be met unless exceptional circumstances warrant special considera-

tion from council,” said Blackie, during council’s Jan. 15 meeting.

He also said the estimated cost for the county to do the work was $4,000, take two days to complete plus cost an additional $2,500 to dispose of at the local landfill. It would be done in March or April while the permafrost was still in the ground so as not to damage the equipment.

He suggested the cemetery association apply to the county’s community support program which can provide up to $2,500 with Claystone Waste’s Community Grant Program and Alberta Counsel for grant application assistance.

Division 4 Councillor Barry Bruce wondered if the material could be used for other work but Blackie said the rebar and chunks

of concrete would not make it safe for application on roads needing repair, and could be hard on vehicle tires.

The council passed a motion by

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) that county administration advise the cemetery association of its possible funding options to pay for the work.

4 - Beaver County Chronicle, January 22, 2025

County rescinds two of its policies as redundant Patricia Harcourt Margaret Jones, manager of Beaver County’s Legislative Services department, requested Jan. 15 that county council rescind two redundant policies.

Policy LU-001 related to the Notification of Confined Feeding Operations was the first council rescinded.

Jones explained the reason for this action: “The provincial government has authority to approve permits for confined feeding operations, “ she said.

“Their approval process includes notification of the application to the affected parties and the

County offers support for Golden Club nomination Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council has authorized Reeve Kevin Sook (Division 1) to provide a letter of support to the Tofield Golden Club to help promote the club’s nomination for the 2024-25 Minister’s Seniors Service Award.

Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely nominated the Tofield Golden Club. She stated that, “The volunteer club strives to offer a secure and welcoming environment for seniors in the Tofield area,” and “it fosters the development of new and lasting relationships within the community and amongst its own members.”

The award is given out through the provincial department of Alberta Seniors.

The program recognizes Albertans who have made a difference in the lives of seniors, and other communities.

The club offers activities such as pool, shuffleboard, crafts, sewing, quilting, and games and weekly coffee get togethers.

An electric car, which is a replica of a ModelT Ford built between 1908 and 1027, has been purchased to provide free transportation for seniors around town.

But the biggest initiative is the “Tofield of Dreams” project in which the club is working with the town, county and community to renovate the club building that includes a gymnasium.

The club hopes to make the building “more open and inviting,” so it will attract larger groups of people for private events, hold activities and workshops, and “play an important role supporting a growing population of all ages.”

municipality,” she continued. “The approval officer must take into consideration whether the application is consistent with the municipality’s municipal development plan.”

She said the earlier policy to be rescinded is similar to the municipal development plan the county adopted ed in December last year, citing Section 3.9 a and b of that MDP. This newer MDP outlines how adjacent landowners will be notified by the county and where confined feeding operations are restricted.

“Therefore the (earlier) policy is redundant,” stated Jones.

“The county receives very few confined feeding operations,” she added. “The Natural Resources Conservation Board will consider the environmental impacts of a confined feeding operation when reviewing an application for

approval or registration.”

This would be considered with the knowledge that the county has restricted confined feeding operations from being located near the towns and villages in the county.

Satisfied that the regulations around confined feeding operations were now within the county’s municipal development plan, a motion by Councillor Williams to rescind the former policy was passed.

The same reason was presented to rescind an older Policy U-004 Telecommunications Tower Protocols. The county’s new municipal development plan was passed last December and contained policies similar to the previous policy, said Jones.

“The municipal development plan discourages the siting of telecommunications towers in areas of environmental significance,” she noted.

Province investing in family violence prevention Every year, thousands of Albertans are faced with the devastating and long-lasting trauma of family violence.

Family violence takes many forms, including intimate partner and gender-based violence, sexual assault, coercion, and child abuse and neglect.

Each form can affect survivors’ overall wellbeing, as well as their ability to trust, form healthy relationships and feel safe.

To help stop violence before it starts, reduce the number of family violence victims and ease pressure on women’s shelters and sexual assault centres,

$2 million is now available through the Family Violence Prevention Grant Program.

Funding is available to community organizations, projects and initiatives aimed at addressing the causes of family violence and working with survivors, as well as those focused on underserved communities, including men and boys, 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, newcomers and refugees, and those living in rural or remote areas.

Applications will be accepted until Feb. 12.

“No Albertan should live in fear of violence – especially from family,

partners and those closest to them,” said Searle Turton, Minister of Children and Family Services.

“These grants will not only support and empower survivors in their healing journey, but also help end cycles of abuse so we can prevent more Albertans from becoming victims.”

The grants will build on more than $100 million in prevention strategies and critical programs across government that support

survivors, engage men and boys, and foster a culture of consent. This aligns with and supports the development of a 10-year, made-inAlberta strategy to end gender-based violence and support survivors.

“To effectively address the root causes of gender-based violence, it is vital that we invest in prevention and early intervention strategies,“ said Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status. “By doing so, we foster a culture of respect and

accountability, leading to safer communities, reduced violence and improved well-being for individuals and families across the province.”

Marci Ien, Federal Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, added; “Everyone deserves to feel safe and supported.

Family violence shatters lives, and we must work together to prevent it in all its forms.

This investment in community-led prevention and healing offers

hope and is helping build stronger, safer communities where compassion and respect can thrive.”

Help is always available for anyone affected by family or genderbased violence.

Confidential help is available 24/7 by calling or texting the Family Violence Info Line at 310-1818, or Alberta’s One Line for Sexual Violence at 1-866-403-8000.

Anyone in immediate danger should call 911.

The Government of Alberta is helping seniors enjoy the province’s beauty with a camping fee discount.

“Starting May 1, Alberta seniors aged 65 and older will enjoy a 25 per cent discount on camping fees at select campgrounds, opening the door to more highquality and low-cost outdoor adventures and opportunities to foster a deeper connection with nature,” said the province.

The discount will be available at 142 front-country campgrounds across Alberta, including about 6,400 campsites for various popular camping experiences.

Other types of camping such as group, comfort, seasonal and backcountry are not eligible for the discount.

“We live in the most beautiful place on earth, and initiatives like these will make it easier than ever for Albertans, especially seniors, to explore and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes Alberta has to offer,” said Todd Loewen, Minister of Forestry and Parks.

“By making our parks more accessible and affordable, we are enhancing quality of life for seniors, promoting their health and well-being, and helping them discover the hidden gems of our province.”

A list of campgrounds offering the discount is available at albertaparks.ca. Seniors can take advantage of this discount by booking through shop.alberta parks.ca, by phone or at first-come, first-served campgrounds. Bookings for May 1 arrivals will open on January 31.

“Seniors appreciate every opportunity to enjoy and recreate in parks more affordably. By providing these discounts on select campsites more seniors can take advantage of hidden gem campgrounds across Alberta, promoting their health and well-being,” said Larry Mathieson, president and CEO at Unison.

To receive the discount, eligible seniors must be the camping permit holder, have valid identification and be part of the camping party for the entire stay.

Crime Stoppers rural sign campaign FEATURED PROPERTIES Today, at the Alberta RCMP headquarters in Edmonton, the Alberta RCMP hosted Crime Stoppers Alberta as they announced their new Rural Sign Campaign. As community partners, Crime Stoppers, are a valuable part of the ensuring the safety of Albertans.

They work with the Alberta RCMP helping to report crimes that are occurring in communities across the province.

When people may wish to remain anonymous, they can report crimes they witness to Alberta Crime Stoppers knowing that their personal information will be kept confidential, but that law enforcement will be informed.

The anonymous tips received from Crime Stoppers allows the Alberta RCMP to investigate incidents they would otherwise not know about. In 2024, tips from Crime Stoppers help lead to hundreds of charges being laid and millions of

dollars’ worth of property being recovered.

The new campaign aims to bring smaller communities together, raise awareness of Crime Stoppers and encourage citizens to get involved in their community. The campaign emphasizes that anyone can be a Crime Stopper, with the goal to make Alberta a safe place to live, work and play.

Crime Stoppers will work with the rural jurisdictions and indigenous communities to place signs in high traffic locations informing the public of how to contact Crime Stoppers. The City of Wetaskiwin and Piikani First Nation are already Crime Stopper Communities, and the organization is in talks with other communities to join as well.

“Ensuring the safety and building trust in the communities across Alberta is our top priority,” says Chief Superintendent Peter Tewfik, RCMP Community Safety and

Well-being Branch.

“We are proud to work with Crime Stoppers and appreciate all of the work that they do in bringing communities together and helping keep their fellow Albertans safe.”

Alberta Crime Stoppers chair Mark Holik stated; “This initiative builds on the proud legacy of Crime Stoppers in Alberta… Programs like this empower residents to take an active role in crime prevention, ensuring that “what you see”, “what you hear” and “what you know” is shared through anonymous tips. This information helps our police partners solve crime, keeping our communities safe.”
