Plenty of chills and spills at Kinsella Bullarama Patricia Harcourt Editor

The 23rd Annual Graveldome Bullarama in Kinsella pitted top Canadian bulls and bull riders against one another in Kinsella the evening of Wednesday, July 13.

The event is presented every year by Kinsella Rec & Ag Society, and the packed stands and competitors enjoyed a sunny evening with none of the rain that has often accompanied it over the years.

PBR sanctioned, this bull bucking extravaganza never fails to impress the crowd. The bulls were strong and delivered the chills and spills that create the buzz and the bull riders who performed are tops in their field.

Thirty bull riders each rode an outstanding bull in the lineup for that evening (long go). The top 10 out of these did a ride-off (short go) for the winner of the trophy buckle.

Rider Nick Tetz won the buckle with an overall score of 172 (18 points) to take home $2,678.17.

Ashton Sahli of Red Deer was close behind with a 171 total score (10 points), earning $2,092.32. Third place went to Michael Ostashek of Edson at 86.5 earning $1,255.39 (eight points).

Tetz of Calgary took his second PBR Professional Bull Riders Canada Touring Pro Division win for the event in Kinsella, earning 84.5 points for his first ride on Rusty

Rivets. His second ride in Kinsella was on Finning Lil Shorty for an 87.5 score to win the event championship.

Another highlight of the evening were the Wild Pony Races during the first intermission as youngsters did their best to catch and ride a wild pony in the ring.

The evening featured great bull riding action with one bull literally catapulting out of the chute sideways, fell and landed on his rider. It was a relief when the crowd saw that after the dust settled both bull and rider got up to fight another day.

It was another successful Graveldome Bullarama for the Bullarama committee and all the volunteers who make the event possible every year.

2nd boosters available Patricia Harcourt Editor

Two health-related decisions by the province this week will impact those wanting a second COVID-19 booster or working for AHS. As of Wednesday, July 20, people over the age of 18 will be eligible to get their second booster against the virus.

The move is being made in light of a new Omicron BA.5 variant that is increasing transmission this summer, and is expected to continue throughout the fall and winter months.

Other respiratory illnesses like influenza are also expected to continue to rise.

The increased availability expands booster choices with Omicron BA.5 the dominant strain of the virus currently circulating in the population. People with

concerns over their personal risk factors can now get their second booster as long as there is a five month gap between the first and second booster.

Previously, only persons aged 70 and over were eligible.

The province says the second dose would be of most benefit to those at high risk of severe outcomes if they get the virus.

Health Minister Jason Copping said that “vaccines remain critical to lowering your risk of severe outcomes and protecting our health care system.”

Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health, said: “We know that new variants of the virus will continue to emerge and the best form of defence continues to be prevention.”

Some Albertans are choosing to wait until a

form of booster targeting the new variants is made available by the vaccine manufacturers, possibly sometime this fall.

But Copping and Hinshaw are urging people to go for their first booster if they haven’t done so already, and to get the second booster if they have health complications.

Ironically however, Alberta Health Services has removed the condition that their employees must be immunized against the COVID-19 virus to work for them, basing this on the belief that the current vaccines are no longer as effective as they once were.

The change is effective as of Monday, July 18, and will include new hires and placements within their organization.

The decision was made “as the result of

emerging evidence that the immunization required by the (rescinded) policy…has become less protective against infection,” said an AHS release. “The COVID-19 vaccines available to date target the original strain of the virus and the virus has evolved since then.”

AHS added that the current vaccines still provide strong protection against serious illness.

Time running out for first round of nominations for two empty council seats in Viking they will be elected by acclamation. But if there are three or more candidates, a by-election is scheduled for Tuesday, August 23.

Another councillor resignation

Nominations will close as of noon on Tuesday, August 16, for this council vacancy. A by-election will be held Sept. 13 if required.

Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking residents over the age of 18 have a chance to put their names in formally as candidates to run for two available seats on town council. But time is running out.

Council lost two councillors this spring - Deb O’Toole Balaban and Jaime Buttner - and nominations to fill these two vacancies closes as of noon on Tuesday, July 26.

If two candidates come forward,

councillors, and Councillor Cindy Lefsrud remaining as elected officials, there is no quorum to hold council meetings.

If new candidates come forward and are elected as councillors, Viking Council will once again be allowed to meet as a quorum will be possible.

Until then, an official from Alberta Municipal Affairs is expected to act in the place of council on all matters until the matter of electing new councillors is concluded.

Kurek visits council Patricia Harcourt Damien Kurek exchanged viewpoints and answered questions with Beaver County Council at the regular meeting July 6.

The Battle River-Wainwright MP explained his reason for attending council that day: “My philosophy in politics is to continue a conversation,” with his constituents.

He then outlined a number of services to help municipalities through his office as a Member of Parliament, adding that any way he can assist he is “happy to do so,” with both municipalities and constituents.

Kurek has constituency offices in Camrose and Consort, and well as the one in Ottawa.

He welcomed council to “reach out” to see if he can assist the municipality, adding :”There’s no harm in asking.”

Switching to “policy matters,” he cited challenges in rural infrastructure and housing in more rural areas of the country, including East Central Alberta.

Rural crime was also brought up with the possibility of a provincial police service in Alberta changing the RCMP’s federal policing role.

Kurek is re-introducing a rural crime bill that died on the order paper last year with the federal election call. He said the bill was to address police response times, the nature of rural crime, policing staff numbers, and what is being called a “revolving door” for criminals who get arrested but are soon back on the streets to commit more crimes.

“Rural connectivity remains an issue,” he said, referring to how the COVID-19 pandemic

has “made technology more important.”

He added: “Rural Alberta is significantly further apart than the rest of Canada,” in terms of physical space. The technology of communication needs to improve if people are to move into rural areas.

“People are coming back and rural properties are considered more affordable,” he said, than other more urban areas of the country.

Last November Kurek was appointed the Deputy Shadow Minister for Rural Economic Development and Rural Broadband Strategy in Canada’s Official Conservative Opposition, working under Shadow Minister for these two portfolios, Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs.

“Rural punches far above its weight but it doesn’t get reflected in the funds and programs,” he said, given out by the federal government. “We simply don’t get our fair share.

“Small and rural municipalities across Canada face many of the same challenges,” he said, adding the rural economic shadow office sent out a letter to every municipality under 20,000 population. This was about 6,000 municipalities ranging from villages to small cities, he said.

“We have had an encouraging response,” he said, which “amplifies their voices.” For example, rural Quebecers have the same issues with rural crime and the need for infrastructure upgrades, such as wastewater facilities.

“Regardless of what the political representation is the municipalities share some of the same concerns,” he said, as in rural

Alberta.

He and Stubbs “are looking to ensure allocations are being made for these smaller municipalities and rural areas.”

During a question and answer session, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) spoke of “how the federal government is dealing with federal regulations,” that are “made by people who don’t understand agricultural issues.”

Referring to the problems of the supply chain and supply and demand, he said: “We’re providing food to the world and government taxes us which drives up costs,” naming fertilizer and gas prices (that include a tax) and are rising “due to federal regulations.”

Hrabec gave two examples of areas in which the federal government fails to understand agriculture issues.

“Don’t label my beef,” he said, referring to the federal government’s recent attempt to label beef as a food product harmful to human health. Since then, this labelling of hamburger and beef products as unhealthy was dropped based on a great outcry from the agriculture community.

Hrabec is a cattle farmer in the county.

The other regulation concerned pest control products farmers use on their land to keep pests down. Hrabec said this inability to control pests “may be cutting the food supply,” at a time when crops in places like war-torn Ukraine are struggling.

Kurek said he was going to “get political” about his response to those comments.

Kurek Continued from BCC1 truly ignorant on every front.,” he said. “It has a significant impact.

“The entire supply chain is impacted by increasing costs,” he said, with fertilizer doubling in price.

And the government intention to ban the poison strychnine affects “the long term ability to control pests in our fields,” he said. “The problem is application and proper use not the chemical itself.”

Kurek blamed an “activist agenda” on the part of Health Canada for the now failed attempt to label ground beef as unhealthy.

“Canadians objected,” stating that “beef is not a problem,” he said, and “the government took a step back.” He noted that “the Liberals were hearing from their constituents that it was not a good idea…

They did backtrack.”

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) brought up the issue of declining numbers of people living in the county, resulting in fewer young peo-

ple using the schools.

“So many houses are available for reasonable prices in the rural areas,” replied Kurek, which could bring in young families to live and use the schools in the county.

“We need to remove the barriers in coming back to the rural area, or coming to live in the first place,” he said. “And we need to show how the quality of life is in the rural areas.”

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) questioned the definition of a rural municipality as 20,000 people, saying this number “is too high for me.”

Bruce felt more emphasis should be placed on the jurisdictions with 2,000 people, because these are the ones “with their foot on a banana peel” due to depopulation. He said that successive governments have promised to help rural areas but have failed to do so while rail lines and rural elevators were lost, and regional seed plants “are rutting up rural roads,” referring to the large grain trucks that travel to and from them.

The end of the Wheat Board by the previous Conservative government also helped to “decimate small towns,” he

said, adding he would like to see federal offices established in rural areas to provide jobs.

Kurek replied that he remembered rail lines being pulled up in his home town, and is now working with that same town to invest in a short line rail for the area.

He said there is “significant promise” in value added industries being established in rural areas, such as protein crops from peas and lentils.

He said the “official definition” of rural areas is a population of 200,000. “We scaled it back to 20,000,” he said, for the purposes of their letter.

He agreed that the rural areas “haven’t got their share of the discussion federally,” with 10 per cent of people living outside the major urban centres. But there is a ‘slight uptick’ from people moving back to their roots.

“But you’re right, policy is important,” said Kurek.

“There’s not a silver bullet but there are a whole bunch of things…to help move things in the right direction.”

Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) asked if the Keystone XL pipeline project, which was killed by U.S.

President Joe Biden, could possibly be brought back.

“No, not for lack of trying,” said Kurek, adding the pipeline was cancelled “with very poor justification” in the middle of an energy crisis.

“Keystone would have exported 800,000 barrels per day,” much more than the 200,000 barrels per day the U.S. received from Russia.

“The Liberal government is unwilling to bring the issue back,” said Kurek, and Biden has refused as well.

“We have lacklustre support for Canada to meet global energy needs,” he said, noting that “energy investment is not attractive anymore in Canada leading to a less stable world.”

Kurek also predicts that “a world food crisis is coming,” at a time when a lot of canola is being used for bio energy instead of food.

He called Keystone a “no brainer that has been rejected outright (and) speaks to how far investor confidence has fallen.”

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) told Kurek about the failures of the Canada Summer Jobs Program and the frustrations around five years

of trying to get CN Rail whistle cessation for trains going through Bruce and Lindbrook.

“It’s been very frustrating,” he said.

“We will reach out to figure out where things are at,” said Kurek, noting there have been “change overs in government relations at both national railways…I will certainly look into it and try to help.”

As for the Canada Summer Jobs Program, Kurek said he has “heard from across the country about problems with this…We have been looking for and trying to get answers.”

But he did note that there have been “significantly more applications in the rural municipalities and organizations.

“This year has been very frustrating…During COVID it was more streamlined. But your comments are well founded, it’s not unique. There were fewer (applications) accepted in Battle River Crowfoot…Fewer successful applications and fewer dollars provided.”

Smook replied that CN told the county the whistle cessation could go through in the fall. “But the length of time is too long,” he said.

2022 Construction Schedule

Range Road 182 and 195 Construction Update

Range Road 182 and 195 Construction Update The soil stabilizing for the road base with soil cement is now complete.

We will soon be starting the first layer of chip seal and there may be delays as work crews direct traffic in order to work safely. There will be many loose rocks after the chip seal layer is applied and speed limits will be reduced on these roads once opened until the project is complete.

During this construction phase, portions of the road may be closed to allow crews to work safely please use another route, detours will be posted or be cautious when you need to drive through construction zones (local traffic only). Beaver County’s goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general public.

Already this year we have had people exceeding the posted speed limit through our construction zones, endangering staff, contractors and the public.

There are potential hazards to the public and 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 construction.

If you have any questions, please call the Beaver County Service centre at 780-663-3730.

Built a sand castle on the beach, went for a leisurely boat ride, kayaked/canoed in the lake, cooked over the open fire? Nothing beats the feeling you get when you learn to let yourself go, let your hair down and laugh aloud. Plan a beach/lake vacation, weekend getaway, or outdoor adventure. It could include relaxing in the sun, visiting friends, a stroll around the lake at Black Nugget, splashing in the waves at the beaches in Camp Lake. Alternatively, play volleyball, basketball, or enjoy the playground with tetherball. Hiking trails, bird watching - migratory waterfowl and wildlife abound. Both are family orientated and quiet.

OBITUARY - Peter Michael “Mike” McIsaac

Peter Michael “Mike” McIsaac was born on May 19, 1971, in Calgary, AB. He passed away July 12, 2022, on the farm in Viking, AB, from a heart attack in wake of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident on June 4, 2022.

Mike grew up on the farm and attended school in Viking. He graduated from NAIT as an Electrical Engineering Technologist and also completed his Alberta Power System Electrician Program. He spent several

years working around central and southern Alberta before buying a house in Forestburg, AB. In 2006, he moved closer to his friends in Calgary to work as a Journeyman PSE - Foreman.

In 2018, Mike joined Intonovus Canada to work on developing a Virtual Reality project in the microbrewery sector. Towards the end of 2019, with all the uncertainty around Covid, Mike moved back to the farm to support his mother as her primary caregiver. He was one of the most kind and generous people you would ever meet. His hobbies and interests included everything to do with his friends and family…tailgating, travelling, slo pitch, online gaming, along with his motorcycle, trucks, and Mustang.

Irma News

IRMA NEWS

By Marjorie Lawson

Congratulations to Bowen Larson and ball team the Provost Pilots on their gold medal win in Provost on the weekend.

We also send congratulations to the U12 Irma Tigers on winning the provincial championship in St. Paul this weekend.

Well done, boys and coaches.

Delaney Brause and her boyfriend, Tyler Santilli from Windsor, Ontario, recently visited Harold and Gwyneth Gulbraa. Tyler had never been out of Ontario and to the West and was amazed at how involved farming is. They enjoyed a tour of Lazy Bee Honey (courtesy of Ken), and were amused by the new critters there (ostriches).

Horseshoe Canyon was a hit on their way to brunch and a musical at Rosebud which was also very entertaining. The couple continued to the mountains and, of course, loved the sights, attractions and scenery of Banff, Lake Louise, and Canmore.

We extend sympathy to

Della Willerton, her children and grandchildren after the passing of Della’s mother, Ella Symington of Edmonton, at the age of 102. Mrs. Symington and her late husband, Wilf, operated Central Garage in Irma during the 1940s and 50s. They also provided school bus services for many years. Ella is also survived by son Allan and daughter Landis and their families.

Mike was predeceased by his parents Peter and Ann McIsaac. He is survived by his sister Lori Farley and life partner Gary Ellis of Calgary, brother Joe McIsaac of Calgary, sister Mary Lou and brother-in-law Shane Grove of Bowden, nephew A.J. Grove and life partner Ashley Stoltz of Edmonton, niece Marta Grove of Halifax, N.S., and numerous family and friends around Alberta and Canada.

Irma Ladies Par 3 a great success Gwyneth Gulbraa The weather couldn't have been more perfect for golfing on July 12 for the Irma Ladies Par 3 and as the photos show, many ladies went home wealthier. As well as long putt and closest to the pin, there were birdie prizes, a marshmallow drive, a "chip it in the bucket" and door prizes. You could trade in your cash

prize for a beautiful opalescent bag that may contain a bigger cash prize or a "zonk" (nothing). The very closest to the pin was Gayle Soucy who drove her ball within 6 feet 9 inches of the flag on the first hole! Also, on the first hole, Shelly Bromby made an incredible putt of 25 feet 2 inches! After golfing, the ladies enjoyed a beef brisket meal with all the trimmings.

Closest to the Pin Winners: Brenda Walker (2), Lois Larson, Correen Larson, Marg Hatch; (front) Gail Tomlinson, Karly MacKay, Wendy Degenstein (2) and Gayle Soucy.
