Weekend of Chucks & Chariots Action in Viking

PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTOS Patricia Harcourt Editor

For three days last weekend, the Cloverlodge Stampede Grounds in Viking were the centre of chariot and chuckwagon racing action.

Stands were full for the exciting races put on by the Viking and District Agricultural Society and sanctioned by the Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association (APCCA). Smoke advisories from wildfires in other parts of the province didn’t appear to dampen any of the fun.

Races were held at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday night, and 1 p.m. on Sunday. Food with Flair and Noodle Pigs Mini-Donuts food trucks were set up onsite to provide food and refreshments.

Saturday, the highly successful pork rib cook-off took place at the Multiplex to rave reviews. This was one of two new features introduced this year. The other was singer Darlene Thibault performing with her band on the Stampede grounds Sunday morning.

At the end of the races on Saturday night, a family friendly dance was held in the out-

door rink with band The River Jacks providing the music.

Beer gardens were held all three days, and every day racing fans saw eight chariot heats and seven chuckwagon heats. And there was plenty of action and excitement as the dust flew as drivers worked to steer their horses around the barrels as fast and cleanly as possible before tearing down the tracks.

The ever popular Terry Cartier did the announcing for the races, throwing in anecdotes, jokes, and tidbits about drivers and the racing world.

And in-between the chariots and chucks, during intermission the crowd was treated to seeing youngsters drive during the mini chuckwagon races.

On Sunday, the races were held in conjunction with the Viking Historical Society’s Pancake Breakfast at the Legion and the society’s annual Show and Shine.

Called a “Sunday Funday,” the collaboration worked well for both the historical society and the agricultural society by bringing more people into both the downtown area and stampede grounds events.

Attendance way up for show and shine breakfast, say organizers Patricia Harcourt Editor

Organizers at Viking Historical Society’s pancake breakfast said attendance was way up this year.

They knew it because they were twice as busy serving up more food than ever on Sunday during the society’s Show and Shine on main street.

Dorothy White, who was just one of many volunteers working the breakfast on Sunday, estimated 150-200 people came into the Legion Hall to enjoy the pancakes, sausages, and eggs.

And that was just for the 8 a.m. to noon shift after which they switched to serving Viking wieners from noon to 2 p.m. Hungry patrons took to the famous local delight with gusto.

The event is so popular and is based only on a donation, but as a fundraiser it is a major success - especially this year.

All the proceeds go towards the maintenance and operation of the museum run by the historical society.

Completely free is the annual “Show and Shine” which everyone goes out to enjoy after their meal. The streets are lined with all kinds of vintage and antique vehicles, maintained and displayed by their loving owners.

The society also officially announced its recent possession of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church and hall, located on the same block as the Legion, and held a church service inside after an informal ribbon cutting took place in front of the historic church’s doorway.

MLA discusses changes to beef regulations Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

On Monday, July 10, the Government of Alberta took vital action in ensuring that Alberta’s cattle producers are able to continue producing the world’s best beef.

Last week, Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson amended regulations in the Feeder Associations Guarantee Act to give feeder association members more options to purchase and market livestock and to generate better cash flow for their operations.

I am proud to share that these amendments will raise individual and joint membership loan limits, under the Feeder Associations Loan Guarantee program, to $3 million from $2 million (excluding advances).

Dating back to 1936, Alberta’s Feeder Associations Loan Guarantee

Program helps local, producer-run cooperatives get competitive financing to ensure they can continue being a player in the global market. The program has provided capital to farmers for the feeding of cattle through relatively easy access to low interest, leveraged financing backed by a government guarantee.

Beef is Alberta’s biggest agri-food export, with our province being home to 45 feeder associations representing about 2,100 total members. Since the start of the year, cattle prices have increased 25 per cent and are expected to keep rising. Raising loan limits will help beef producers keep up against rising livestock prices and continue to thrive.

As a rural MLA, resident, and passionate rural advocate, I am thrilled to see that Alberta’s livestock feeding sector will be more accessible to our young

farmers and producers.

Rural Alberta serves as the foundation for our province’s economic diversification, creating opportunities that ripple across industries and foster sustainable growth.

These changes will allow thousands of new and current producers to have access to the capital they need to keep Alberta’s vital beef industry thriving.

Most importantly, with increased opportunities to enter the Alberta beef market, our local farmers and businesses will have a greater capacity to contribute to the economic growth of their home regions and support their local communities.

Surrounded by a wild landscape that sparks imagination, fellow passengers recount train travels in other countries, get nostalgic for the era of steam locomotives, and consider life's unfinished journeys.

Simply Lies: A Thriller David Baldacci Mickey Gibson, single mother and former detective, leads a hectic life similar to that of many moms: juggling

the demands of her two small children with the tasks of her job working remotely for ProEye, a global investigation company that hunts down wealthy tax and credit cheats.

When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room—and that nothing is as it seems. Not only does the arms dealer not exist but the murder victim turns out to be Harry Langhorne, a man with mob ties who used to be in Witness Protection. What’s more, no one named Arlene Robinson works at ProEye. In the blink of an eye, Gibson has become a prime suspect in a murder investigation— and now her job is also on the line until she proves that she was set up. Before long, Gibson is locked in a battle of wits with a brilliant woman with no name, a hidden past, and unknown motives—whose end game is as mysterious as it is deadly.

WORD ON THE STREET

Threats uttered and disturbances reported in Kinsella

On July 10, police received a complaint of a theft. The complainant advised someone had stolen his handicap placard from his vehicle sometime over the previous three days. Police have no suspects at this time.

Also this date, police learned that a male failed to attend Vegreville Provincial Court as required. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Aaron Robertson. Two additional charges have also been laid under the Criminal Code for failing to attend court as well as failing to attend for the purposes of the Identification of Criminals Act. That night, police were dispatched to a 911 hangup. Police were able to contact the caller and it was determined the call had been placed in error and there was no emergency.

During the early morning hours on July 11, police received a complaint of a vehicle with no tail lights northbound on Highway 36. Police did not locate the vehicle in question.

That evening, police received a report of indecent exposure through a

window at a residence in Viking. Police attended and confirmed the male in question was in fact wearing light tan sweatpants and was not nude.

The complainant was updated.

On July 13, police were dispatched to a family dispute in progress. When police arrived on scene they learned a female had arrived home in an intoxicated state and had an argument with her mother. The female had damaged a wall and then exited the home. The complainant did not wish to proceed with charges and police did not receive any further calls to the home.

That afternoon, police received a complaint of a threatening message left for an individual in Kinsella.

The complainant advised someone had left a sign on her father’s doorstep with what she perceived to be a threatening message.

There was no evidence to positively identify the person who had left the sign and the message was vague in nature and did not meet the grounds for uttering threats under the Criminal Code.

Incident in Bruce Viking RCMP have advised that a police incident that took place Sunday night in the community of Bruce has been resolved peacefully.

Residents had been asked to shelter in place and follow the directions of the officers involved in the incident.

The RCMP stated that during that time “the threat to the community was contained to a residence.” However, they considered the situation to be “dynamic” in nature.

The incident began when a report was received by police that a man was threatening harm to himself and others, and had access to a

weapon.

“Police attended the residence and the male refused to respond to their requests to exit the home,” stated the weekly report by the Viking RCMP on Monday.

The Emergency Response Team (ERT) was called in and took the man into custody without injury.

A police statement issued afterwards stated: “RCMP are pleased to report that the suspect has been safely taken into custody. The police incident and the shelter in place is now over.”

Viking RCMP are still investigating the incident and no charges have been reported.

On July 14, a citizen attended the detachment with a cheque his wife had received in the mail.

He was concerned it may be fraudulent as there was no explanation why she had been issued the cheque. He was advised not to cash the cheque and consult with his bank.

That afternoon, police were informed of stolen property that had been located at a vacant property southwest of Viking. Police attended and found a flat deck trailer with two side by sides on it. Investigation revealed the trailer had been stolen from Redwater and the side by sides were stolen from Mundare and Sedgewick. All vehicles were towed and the registered owners were updated on their recovery. Police have no suspects at this time.

That evening, police

received a complaint of vandalism to a property in Kinsella. The culprit was identified; however, the complainant did not wish to proceed with charges. Police warned the culprit and advised her to stay away from the property.

Early on July 15, police were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 14 involving a pickup and a semi tractor pulling a tanker trailer.

Investigation revealed the westbound pickup had crossed the centre line and struck the trailer of the eastbound semi. A female passenger in the pickup sustained minor injuries and was transported to the Viking Health Centre by EMS for treatment. The driver of the pickup was issued a roadside demand on an ASD which resulted in a “fail” reading. Police proceeded via the Provincial Sanctions

which resulted in an immediate suspension of his license and the seizure of his vehicle. Neither of the drivers sustained any injuries in the collision.

Later that morning, police received a complaint of a semi driving erratically on Highway 14. Police made patrols but were unable to locate the vehicle in question.

Also that day, police received a complaint of threats being uttered in Kinsella. Police spoke with the involved parties and determined the complaint was unfounded and there were no grounds to proceed with a charge.

That afternoon, police received a complaint of a female causing a disturbance in Kinsella. Police attended and located the person in question. She was placed under arrest for uttering threats and mischief and transported

to Killam RCMP Detachment where she was held for a bail hearing. This matter is still under investigation and charges are pending.

On July 16, CN Police reported that a crossing gate was damaged at the CN tracks in Viking.

They were unsure who had caused the damage and sent a crew out to make the repairs.

Later that afternoon, police received a report of a male threatening harm to himself and others. The complainant advised the male did have access to a weapon.

Police attended the residence and the male refused to respond to their requests to exit the home. The Emergency Response Team (ERT) was deployed and attended the location.

The male was taken into custody without injury.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing.

Viking Historical Society takes possession of historic church and hall Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking Historical Society celebrated a special acquisition on Sunday during the society’s annual Pancake Breakfast and Show and Shine activities held on main street in front of the Legion.

The society has taken over the historical St. Matthew’s Anglican Church and adjacent hall for a project reflecting the history of the area.

As it happens, the church and hall sit on the south end of the same block where the festivities were taking place that day .

Mike Lawes, president of the Historical Society, explained why everyone was so thrilled about how things turned out so far.

“We officially took possession of the church and church hall last week,” he said, after officials had stood behind a ribbon in front of the church to declare that the ownership of the property had changed hands.

It took two years to achieve their goal of ownership. “We may try to have it declared a historical site,” he said. But in any case, the society intends to preserve the buildings “as is” no matter the future uses for which it can be used.

He said families will be able to hold weddings, anniversaries, funerals, and other such events. But there is a special intention for the parish hall.

“We have plans for the hall to house a self-guided tour for the history of Viking,” he said, referring to the gas fields that were discovered and developed here and the companies that were part of that growth, like Northwestern Utilities and Atco Gas. And the call has gone out for help in filling the exhibit with pictures and artifacts. If anyone has pictures or other memorabilia of that gas history they are being asked to donate it to the society for use in the project.

In late March, the society put out the call to former employees of the Viking/Kinsella/Irma Gas Camp, or anyone who has ever worked for Northwestern Utilities or any other gas company in the Viking-Kinsella field, for help in expanding the proposed spe-

cial exhibit.

A pipeline was constructed from the Viking natural gas deposit to Edmonton in 1923, the year Northwestern Utilities Limited came into being. There is much history stemming from the time an earlier company discovered the Viking gas field in 1914 and developed it. The church hall is going to be used to fill the building with information on that era.

Some of the items people could donate are logos for ball caps, sports uniforms, jackets, trophies, coffee mugs, posters, lapel pins, toys, cookbooks, photographs of employees at work or play, sporting or social events, and celebrations such as retirements and awards.

Newspaper clippings and early equipment or tools to put on display, and any other items from the early years and going forward that might be considered of interest or importance is welcome to include.

Lawes said the society wants to open the project in the building by next summer. The society is also open for donations that would go towards the preservation of the church.

Like the history of the Viking gas field, the Anglican Church and Hall go back to the early beginnings of settlement in the area.

At first, there was no church to attend, but people began to meet as a mission holding services in their homes starting in 1918.

The parish hall was built in 1925 and this was used for services prior to the construction of the church building in 1935.

The church was designed by A.M. Calderon and has a unique 16th Century architecture. It was used for services until 1986 and, even after that, people still met for prayers on a weekly basis.

“Visitors to Viking today are awed by the quaintness of its architecture,” writes Dora Haeberle, in the local history book.

Now the church and hall will be preserved for posterity thanks to the work of the local historical society. And there will be another exhibit reflecting the history of the local area.

The St. Matthew’s church hall was used in the early years as a church and, more recently, by the New to You thrift store for many years.

The Viking Historical Society recently took official possession of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church and Hall. This year’s annual Show and Shine was an opportunity to mark the occasion with a ribbon cutting including the officials, from left: Viking Councillor Clint Nearing, Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely, Acting Mayor Jamie Buttner, Viking Councillor Dana Ewashko, and Viking Historical Society President Mike Lawes.

The Bulls were Buckin’ The Bulls were Buckin’ at at Kinsella Kinsella BullaramaBullarama Ally Anderson

The 24th Annual Kinsella Graveldome Bullarama bucked out of the chutes on the evening of Wednesday, July 12. The event started off with a delay as the required ambulance team were called out for an emergency, but once they rolled back onto the grounds, riders and bulls were raring to go.

The event is put on by the Kinsella Rec and Ag Society, and each year they make sure it is bigger and better and never disappoints.

The crowd packed the stands and beer gardens at the start of the Bullarama, not an empty space to be found, and excited cheers as the first bull rocketed out of the chute.

The evening had 30 bull riders on the sheet, with each getting a shot to score some points and make it into the top 10 for round two and a chance at the buckle. The event is sanctioned by the Professional Bull Riders of Canada (PBR), with some of the top riders and bulls making an appearance.

When the 10 finalists were decided, round two began with none of the riders making it through the full 8 seconds, thanks to some ruthless bulls.

Winners were decided from scores during the first round. First place went to rider Griffin Smeltzer, who scored 86 points. Top rider in the PBR, Nick Tetz, tied for second with rider Callum Miller, both scoring a cool 84 points.

National Drowning Prevention Week declared Patricia Harcourt Many people love water activities during the summer months, but being safe and exercising caution is an important part of that fun.

For that reason, Beaver County has declared July 16-22 National Drowning Prevention Week.

At the regular council meeting in June, Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) made the motion to accept the proclamation of the resolution. It is to remain in effect for five years to coincide with the National Drowning Prevention Week that will be set every year.

The proclamation reads as follows: “Whereas, the mission of Lifesaving Society Canada is to prevent drowning throughout this great country, and even one drowning in Alberta is one too many; and “Whereas, most drownings are preventable in a Water Smart community, and only through Water Smart education and a healthy respect for the potential danger that any body of water may present can we genuinely enjoy the beauty and recreation opportunities offered by these bodies of water; and “Whereas, the Lifesaving Society urges Canadians and residents of Beaver County to supervise children who are in and around the water, to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages while participating in aquatic activities, and to always wear a life jacket when boating; and “Whereas the United Nations General Assembly passed the UN Resolution on Drowning Prevention (A/75/L.76) and named July 25 of each year as World Drowning Prevention Day; and “Whereas, Lifesaving Society Canada has declared July 16th-22, 2023 National Drowning Prevention Week to focus on the drowning problem and the hundreds of lives that could be saved this year.

“Therefore, be it be resolved that, Beaver County Council hereby proclaims July 16 to 22 National Drowning Prevention Week in Beaver County and commends its thoughtful recognition to all citizens of the municipality.”

Council heard in its report at the June 21 regular meeting that “Canada faces a major problem and a preventable one.”

There are over 450 people dying every year from drowning accidents. The United Nations General Assembly is so concerned over the issue around the world that it passed a resolution on drowning prevention, and named July 25 as World Drowning Prevention Day. The project in Canada is being spearheaded by the Life Saving Society, which is a national charitable organization.

Its goal is “to prevent drownings and reduce water related injury through training programs,” states the report to council. This is done through water smart public education, drowning research and aquatic safety standards.

The Lifesaving Society certifies Canada’s national lifeguards.

Every year during the summer the reports of drownings occur, including the province of Alberta, and the National Drowning Prevention Week is one of the society’s leading public education initiatives, with events taking place across the country to focus media and community attention on the drowning problem and drowning prevention.

During this week, the society urges people to always supervise children in and around the water. Also, it is recommended that alcoholic beverages not be consumed while participating in water activities.

And always wear a life jacket when boating. The lifejacket in the boat will be of no help to you once you are in the water.

“If every Canadian followed these steps,” says the society, “we could greatly reduce Canada’s drowning rate.”

County reports train whistle cessation now complete for Bruce and Lindbrook Patricia Harcourt The seemingly long wait for some county residents living in the vicinity of two railway crossings has now ended.

The county has announced that train whistles blowing at all hours of the day and night is now ended for these locations.

The county made the announcement on Monday that the train whistle cessation process has now been completed at both these locations, and the whistles will no longer be sounding through these crossings.

The announcement began with the following: “Do you live in Bruce or Lindbrook? Have things been a little quieter the last few days?”

The reason being that, “The process of ceasing the train whistles in these locations has now been completed.”

Residents may not get complete silence from the trains initially, however, as engineers complete their own training

process. “There may be a few exceptions as the train engineers adjust to the change, but from now on there will be significantly less whistling, if any at all,” promised the announcement.

However, as many welcome the news there was no doubt a feeling of nostalgia for some as the whistles stop.

“I have been hearing the sound of the train for 30 years,” wrote Hilda Erickson, on a county social media page.

“I am going to miss it. Just Another part of our local history gone. At least it wasn’t non-stop horns, ambulances, and sirens.”

There was an indication that the engineers are still learning not to hit their horns while passing through the Lindbrook crossing: “I believe I just heard two toots from the train,” wrote Erickson.

However, feelings are no doubt mixed as there are other residents within the county who will welcome the news that the whistles will stop.

Beaver County Chronicle, July 19, 2023 - 3

Much needed rain helping crops - almost half in good to excellent condition Compiled by Patricia Harcourt Alberta Crop Report for the week of July 11 has offered some reassurance to producers concerned about moisture for their crops.

It is reported that “over the last 30 days, parts of the province have received much needed rains.” This includes the North East region of which Beaver County is a part and the region of Central Alberta, with rains of up to 175 mm.

The North West received from 125-300 mm, and parts of the Peace region with up to 200 mm of rain.

But the report cautions that parts of the areas of the North East, Central and Peace regions have “many areas (that) only received 0-50 mm of rain.” This also applies to the South region.

The good news for the Beaver County area and much of these parts of the province is that rain has come in the early part of this week; however, it won’t be recorded in the report until the next crop report is done.

The condition of the crops on

the podding is at 19 per cent.

“All crops are ahead of the five-year average as half complete head emergence and 75 per cent flowering average for the time of year,” stated the report.

In the province as a whole, spring wheat is rated the best with 46 per cent rated good to excellent, oats at 57 per cent, lentils at 50 per cent, potates at 93 per cent, and chickpeas at 54 per cent.

Durum wheat is the lowest rated crop at 34 per cent good to excellent, mustard at 27 per cent, and flax at 36 per cent.

And spraying for pests and disease has started in the North East, Central and North West regions.

Some relief for producers came in the form of scattered showers and thunderstorms across the province in the two weeks of late June and early July. This has helped with surface soil moisture conditions being rated at 45 per cent good to excellent. The result is more stability in this area since the

average is “well below the 5 and 10-year averages of 66 and 68 per cent,” with 45 per cent as of the July 11 report rated in good to excellent condition.

Again, the good news for this area of the province is that “growing condition ratings were the highest in the North East and the Peace where conditions were 59 and 58 per cent good to excellent, respectively.”

Conditions for the South were rated as the lowest at 35 per cent good to excellent, leaving 65 per cent fairing poor to fair.

In the North East, the crops are 13 per cent below the fiveyear average of crops rated in good to excellent condition, with the Central region at 39 per cent below the average.

As of mid-July, spring cereals are flowering across the province and 83 per cent of major broad leaf crops are flowering. Of that flowering, it was reported that 11 per cent are podding.

Podding is taking place in 710 per cent of these flowering crops. In the South, however,

last reporting.

As of mid-July the soil moisture in the province is rated as 14 per cent excellent (one per cent excessive), 31 per cent good, 33 per cent fair and 21 per cent poor.

Unfortunately, it is also being reported that “soil moisture reserves are experiencing once in three to five year lows to once in 50-year lows in select areas around the South, North East, and Peace Region.”

Tame hay conditions have improved since the second week of June from 31 per cent good to excellent to 35 per cent.

However, since the July 11 report, the tame hay conditions are rated at 27 per cent poor. 38 per cent fair, 29 per cent good, and six per cent excellent.

Also, 59 per cent of dryland first cut is completed, which is well ahead of the five year average of 38 per cent.

“Some producers are also putting annual crops into their grazing rotations due to lack of available feed,” said the report.

“Pasture conditions have been slightly decreasing since

the third week of June and currently only 33 per cent of the pastures in Alberta are rated as good to excellent.”

This puts the ratings at 31 per cent poor, 37 per cent fair, 29 per cent good, and 4 per cent excellent for pasture conditions.

In the North East, crop conditions are classified as “fairly stable since the last report and are currently rated 10 per cent poor, 31 per cent fair, 56 per cent good and three per cent excellent.

However, there has been “minimal rain” reported, which helped to increase soil moisture ratings since the last report.

Surface soil moisture is six per cent (subsurface 17) poor, 30 per cent (37) as fair, 52 per cent (40) as good, and 12 per cent (6) as excellent.

First cut dryland hay in the North East is averaging one ton per acre. “But recent rains give more confidence to a second cut,” says the report. “Currently, pasture is rated at 22 per cent poor (tame hay at 31), 30 per cent fair (3*), 47 per cent as good (26) and one per cent as excellent (4).

The soil stabilizing for the road base with soil cement is now complete. We will soon be starting the first layer of chip seal. There will be many loose rocks after the chip seal layer is applied. Speed limits will be reduced on these roads once opened until the project is complete.

During these construction phases, portions of the roads may be closed to allow crews to work safely. Please use alternate routes, and be cautious while driving through these zones (local traffic only).

Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors, and the general public. Already this year we have had people exceeding the posted speed limits in construction zones, endangering staff, contractors, and the public. There are potential hazards to the public and to vehicles during the construction process. This can include heavy machinery, dust or mud, road material such as gravel, asphalt coatings, and rock chips. We apologize for the inconvenience that road maintenance and upgrading causes, but the same roads that receive the most traffic also need the most maintenance. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this construction season. If you have any questions, please call the Beaver County Service Centre.

Vegreville man arrested for contraband cigarettes A Vegreville man has been charged with possession of contraband cigarettes for the purpose of selling in the city and other neighbouring jurisdictions.

On July 10, 2023, Vegreville RCMP conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in Vegreville. During the traffic stop, the investigator made several observations ultimately arresting the driver and searching the vehicle. As a result of continued investigation, on July 11, 2023, Vegreville RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence in Vegreville.

As a result of the searches, RCMP seized 135 cartons of contraband cigarettes, as well as firearms and ammunition.

Vegreville RCMP stated they sus-

pect the contraband cigarettes were being sold around the area of Vegreville and other nearby jurisdictions.

Blake Devon Jackson, a 40-yearold male resident of Vegreville, has been charged with: • Possess for the purpose to sell • Transport for purpose to sell • Possession of dangerous weapon Jackson was also charged with multiple breaches related to his previous court conditions.

As a result of a Judicial Interim Release hearing, Jackson was released and will be appearing in Alberta Court of Justice in Vegreville on July 17.
