Fond farewell held for Pastor Sorenson

Third Viking councillor resigns, town no longer has functional council until election Patricia Harcourt Editor

Lois and Alvin Sorenson smile as they hold the retirement cake with Alvin’s image on it and a notation that says: “Blessings on Your Retirement - Shepherding Golden Valley for 20 Years.” See the story and more pictures on Pages 2 and 3.

A third councillor has resigned his elected position as a Viking town councillor. Gary Hafso confirmed he put in his resignation on Monday, June 27, but was reticent to give his reasons.

“I thought it would be better to have a by-election so council can go on a better path,” he said, in a phone interview this Monday.

Two other councillors - Jamie Buttner and Deb O’Toole-Balaban - resigned in April. Both explicitly cited reasons for their walking away.

This was Hafso’s second term on council, one of only two incumbents, along with O’Toole Balaban.

“It did take a long time,” he admitted, to make up his mind to leave. “I gave it a lot of thought.”

Hafso was aware that his departure meant council could no longer function without a quorum to vote on motions. Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk and Councillor Cindy Lefsrud are the only two persons left. For that reason, no council meetings can be held for the time being, and no council representatives can sit on the boards or committees to which they were appointed.

A by-election is scheduled for August 23, and Hafso said he assumes that his vacant seat will also be up for grabs along with the two others already earmarked.

“It’s a blow to the town to lose another councillor,” said O’Toole Balaban. “I’m sure he has good reasons for what he has done because he’s an upstanding member of many groups and organizations in town.”

She added, however, that on a “positive note, Municipal Affairs will have to come down and take over things for a while. We can’t run our town with no quorum and they have to come down to investigate,” she said, referring to Alberta Municipal Affairs.

“We have asked for help for a long time for Municipal Affairs to step in,” she said. “Myself Continued on Page 3

Pastor praised for work in larger community as well as his church Patricia Harcourt Editor

Tributes poured in for a long-serving pastor of the Golden Valley Lutheran Church during a touching retirement ceremony Sunday, June 26.

Many stories were told of Pastor Alvin Sorenson’s work, his work with parishioners and the public and the help given freely to both, as groups and individuals.

There was much laughter and reminiscing between the bestowing of many awards.

Most telling were the awards presented for his larger service to the community, including the Brotherly Love Award, Selfless Help Award, and Shepherd’s Care Award. Sorenson often went out to serve on organizations like the Food Bank and the ministerial group composed of other Christian ministries in Viking.

People from the congregation as well as from various aspects of his work in the community spoke of a giving nature and willingness to engage in helping others at all times.

Tim Doering welcomed everyone to the celebration, offering honour, respect, and love to the outgoing pastor, who shepherded the congregants for two decades.

Doering noted that Pastor Sorenson’s father was a founding member of the church in 1904 with a great deal of Sorenson family history wrapped up in the history of the church.

Pastor Sorenson taught Sunday School for 25 years, and met his future wife Lois at Bible College, marrying her in 1980.

“Lois, please realize we direct these words of honour, respect, and love to you also,” said Doering.

“Alvin, you have truly made an impact on this community,” he continued, as well as the church. Doering recalled that he “would rarely say no as a pastor unless it was against God’s word.”

Retiring could free him up for his personal calling, he said, noting that: “If you are not dead, you are not done.”

As a former school classmate of the pastor, Arnold Hanson acknowledged Sorenson’s Mission to Many group which does missionary work in Mexico along with a contingent of young people with a missionary spirit. Local charities are also part of the Mission’s work.

“Alvin you have shared God’s love with all you have served,” said Hanson.

Pastor Ed Roste noted that Pastor Alvin and Lois met at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute (CLBI) in the 1970s.

Alvin Sorenson still sits on the board, and has “helped the school to survive.”

Lois was presented the Golden Clef Award by Betty Hafso, “for all her musical contributions,” and her “very supportive and loving work,” filled with dedication.

Jeff Newland of the Viking and Area Christian Men’s Fellowship presented the Brotherly Love Award to Pastor Alvin. “It’s just amazing that you started this group about 20 years ago,” said Newland. “We enjoy your company so much and your spiritual guidance.”

Newland said “this men’s group means so much to us,” and credited Pastor Alvin for his own personal journey.

Cameron Ratte presented the Roman Soldier Award to Alvin and Lois’ son, Michael Sorenson. Alvin’s brother, Leonard, spoke of attending the Hastings Lake Bible Camp with Alvin as they were growing up.

Pastor Nick Joyal presented the pastor with the Best Mentor Award, speaking of him tearfully. “I think I grew up a lot here,” he said. He was just one of three former interns offering gratitude, including Derek Naslund who said his former mentor will be remembered and honoured in his home town.

And they recounted a story by Darcy Albers who was told that the first thing Sorenson said the new intern needed to learn was how to make coffee. But, “It wasn’t about the coffee at all. It was about life, inviting people in to share their lives.”

Craig Hafso and Kent Hafso continued the comedy with a routine of Norwegian jokes and music, and pre-

sented Sorenson with the Best Norwegian Award. Sorenson is well known in the community for his ability to make people laugh at many events over the years using his own Norwegian roots as a source of comedy.

Other musical contributions included special music by the Sorenson Family; Lynne Sorenson singing with Rowan, Jack, Natalie and Anne; Vern Hafso and Carol Hafso (“Go Tell It On the Mountain” and “This Little Light of Mine”); and a group of children singing “I Just Want to be a Sheep.”

But the larger community also benefited from his help for others over the years. Rev. Scott Reynolds (Ministerial Association), Dawn Chrystian (Viking/Beaver FCSS), and Pres Winter (Viking Holden and Area Food Bank) presented Pastor Sorenson with the Selfless Help Award.

Chrystian praised him for his work supporting FCSS, and helping others in the community in so many ways.

“As a ministerial we have come together to support each other,” added Reynolds. “It’s a real gift. We are united in spirit and love.”

Winter said Sorenson “has been on the food bank executive from the very start,” and noted: “People are very comfortable going to Alvin for their needs,” adding he is “open and available.”

“This is the pastor who has contributed so much to the community in so many ways,” he said. Other remarks and awards were given by Pastor Kevin Langager for CALC, Pastor Harold Rust for the Golden Bible Award, Leonard Sorenson for the Treasured Penny Award, Lynne Sorenson for the Praying Hands Award, and Jan Gillies with the Overflowing Cup Award.

The Shepherd’s Care Award was presented by Muriel Walker, who gave him two staffs as a symbol of his years

spent shepherding the church, and helping the larger community.

“He’s done so much more than the ordinary pastoral duties,” she said, including helping those in need, sitting on many boards and committees, helping with home repairs, with moving, and with their pets. “The list goes on and on,” she said, doing work that was always more than full-time in nature.

She thanked Alvin and Lois “for the past 20 years,” noting this was the last award, presented “for giving spiritual nourishment to the congregation and to anyone, anywhere.”

“He put his own needs aside ‘to guide them in their toils and troubles,’” she said.

Then it was the retiring pastor’s turn to speak.

“It’s been quite a ride,” he said. Golden Valley gave him a parish but he echoed previous speakers in saying the work “went beyond these walls.”

Sorenson expressed his gratitude for being able to be a pastor to the town and community as well. “It’s been a joy,” he said, remembering how the church has been “a significant player and even on the world scene,” with the missionary trips to Mexico.

“There are few jobs like this,” he said, “where you are invited into the middle of life.” As a dairy farmer, he found it hard to believe how many people have invited him into their lives over the years.

“You really are important to me and it’s been great over the past 20 years,” he told those present. He also invited the new pastor and his wife, Ron and Cheryl Chetney, to come forward and be welcomed by the congregation. The event concluded with a cake cutting ceremony served with coffee in the meeting room.

and Councillor Buttner have reached out many times for help.”

The reason help was needed, she said, was “because the left hand and the right hand

didn’t know what they were doing,” on council, she said.

And there were those on the previous council who wondered if it had been wise to go from a seven person council down to a five person one, starting with this newly elected council last fall.

Some were thinking, “maybe we shouldn’t have done that,” she said, as little experience and background about former decisions was readily available for the new council, especially since former CAO Don McLeod left in February.

Municipal Affairs provides statement on the status of Town of Viking Editor’s Note: The following is a statement issued by Scott Reynolds, press secretary for Municipal Affairs on the actions to be taken going forward following the resignation of three Viking councillors resulting in a loss of quorum. It reads as follows: “Municipal Affairs is aware of the recent resignations of three councillors in the Town of Viking which has resulted in a loss of quorum. With the loss of quo-

rum, council cannot meet or make any decisions.

“Municipal Affairs is moving to appoint an official administrator as soon as possible, who will be granted the powers and duties of the council. The official administrator will be in place only until quorum is restored on town council. The Minister will contact all town residents in the near future to inform them of the appointment

of the official administrator and the situation in the town. The official administrator’s primary responsibility is to ensure ongoing key operations of the town can continue until quorum is restored on town council. This means they have the power to perform any duty of a council, including passing bylaws and policies, and approving expenditures. The CAO would continue to perform their normal

duties under the direction of the Official Administrator.

“No investigation of the town is contemplated at this time, as resignations of council members are not uncommon. A by-election was previously planned for August 23, 2022, to fill two of the vacant council positions. The official administrator will work with town administration to have a by-election for the third vacancy.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Former Viking Mayor shares open letter to current CAO As there any many rumours going around town, I would just like some clarification about the preschool and the daycare, as well as other concerns.

To my knowledge you have said that the daycare could not use the preschool area at all while they waited for repairs?

Is this correct, and if so how is this within your own capacity to make this decision, even though you had enough councillors in place at the time the request was given, as a lease is up to council?

It was also said that you did not even

realize that the preschool had their own entrance? Have you not had a tour of the building since you started almost a year and a half ago?

Have you given any thought as to closing a daycare temporarily and what effect it would have in the town and businesses? There are nurses that take their children there.

Your decision could potentially create a situation which could actually be life threatening. I would hope that this is or has been rectified already as no one would want to have this on their own

hands and is also not your decision to make.

I have also heard that your contract was signed the same day as Councillor Hafso resigned? Was this done by Mayor Yakiwchuk before or after his resignation?

Time is of the essence at this point as it is also known/suggested that Councillor Lefsrud wanted to rescind the motion of hiring you but was apparently denied?

Was this included in the meeting minutes or discussed over Foipable emails?

As being a taxpayer with much knowledge with being previous mayor and councillor for eight years, I recognize that this email cannot be ignored and needs to be addressed, especially with some immediacy given the state that our town is in under your guidance.

As this is now recognized as documentation, I will expect a reply to qualm any concerns that taxpayers have as well as Municipal Affairs.

Word on the Street: B&E to Viking business Church Services

On June 27, police were advised of a suspicious person attending the complainant’s yard, breaking tree branches and putting them into their pockets.

Surveillance was provided to police but due to the poor quality of the photos, a suspect was not identified at this time.

That evening, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in Bruce. Members spoke with the complainant who provided a description of the vehicle and the driver. This matter is still under investigation.

On June 28, police learned that two people had failed to attend court in Vegreville to answer to unrelated charges pre-

viously laid by Viking RCMP. Warrants for arrest were issued and they will be facing additional charges for failing to attend court.

That same day, police also learned that of a woman who failed to attend the Viking RCMP for fingerprinting relating to a previous charge.

A warrant was issued for her arrest.

Later that afternoon, police were advised of an uninhabited residence in Bruce that was insecure.

Members attended the residence, found it to be empty, and secured it.

That same afternoon, police responded to a 911 call. The location of the call was on a property that appeared aban-

Warning of energy rebate scam

Patricia Harcourt Editor

A new scam has reared its ugly head due to the coming electricity and other energy rebates the province is implementing to help Albertans with rising costs.

Reports are being received that Albertans have received a text offering an energy rebate that is bogus in nature.

The texts claim to be from the provincial government and invite the person to apply for an energy rebate by clicking on a URL which appears to link to a provincial or federal government agency or program - but this phishing scam does not actually do that.

And because the electricity rebate starting in July is being deducted right off a person or businesses’ utility bill, there is no need to apply for this benefit - it automatically comes to you.

A warning came out June 22 about this energy scam, with the province stating neither it or the Government of Canada has sent out any emails or texts about the electricity rebate program or any other energy rebates.

It advises to “never click on links or provide personal or banking information in response to text message or emails that you didn’t ask for, or if you don’t know the sender.”

doned. A check was done of all buildings and there was no one located.

On June 30, police responded to a break and enter at a business in Viking. The door to the building had been kicked open. This matter is still under investigation.

On July 2, police received a complaint of a suspicious male driving a quad at a rural location in Viking. Members did not locate the quad and were unable to identify the driver.

That same day, police were advised of a break and enter into sea-cans.

Police spoke to the owner of the property who advised he rents out the units as storage and a vehicle had been stolen

from one of his tenants.

This matter is still under investigation.

That evening, police responded to a complaint of dogs barking.

The owner of the dogs was advised of the complaint and will try to keep the dogs from barking.

On July 3, police received a complaint of stray horses. Police spoke to the complainant who advised he believes that the horses were his neighbour’s and they were regularly getting out.

The RCMP Livestock Investigations Unit was consulted and the stray horses were put into a separate pen to be inspected by the brand inspector.

Smook meets with constituents as he continues in bid to lead UCP Camrose Moush John Staff Reporter

Tofield resident Kevin Smook, who is seeking UCP nomination for Camrose constituency, met with residents from Tofield and area to interact and hear their concerns.

“I was impressed by the thoughtful questions asked and the interest shown by the people who turned out tonight,” Smook said.

“They showed a keen interest for the issues in our area.”

According to Smook, representation is important to the residents of the Camrose Constituency.

“It’s important that they have a strong voice advocating for them when they have concerns and I will be that strong voice,” he said. “I will push for improvements to Highway 14, which is busy with commuter and truck traffic and Highway 834 north to Highway 16.

“That is a high and wide load corridor that gets a lot of heavy traffic and is deteriorating.”

Besides immediate transportation and road concerns, Smook is passionate about the importance of having the nursing program return to the U of A Augustana Campus.

“We need to push for a return of the nursing program at U of A Augustana Campus, which was cut following the 2020 provincial budget,” he noted. “We have a shortage of nurses and restoring that program will help the communities in Camrose constituency down the road.

“Augustana Campus is an economic driver in Camrose and a benefit for all of the young people in our area who can continue their education close to home.”

Smook who ran for Alberta Party last term, is

seeking a UCP ticket in 2023, and has strong reasons for it.

“I am a conservative and the strongest conservative movement is the United Conservative Party. From a conservative perspective, I want to unite the conservative movement in our riding and get people working together again,” he explained. “We also need to continue to push for improved high speed internet in rural Alberta. The government has made some strides in that area, but we need to keep the pedal on the gas to keep the momentum going as each of us depend on quality internet coverage in our daily lives.”

Smook and his wife

Sheila have been living in the area for over 28 years.

“This is where we raised our family and launched our real estate business. All four of our children graduated from Tofield School and two of them graduated from the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. I wish they continued to live in this area, but they have pursued opportunities elsewhere.

“I’d like to work towards creating more opportunities right here, in the Camrose constituency, so we can retain and attract young people to our area.”

Crops looking good so far thanks to constant moisture Patricia Harcourt The latest Alberta crop report for June 27 has crops progressing well in central areas of the province, as well as in many other parts of Alberta.

This, after dry conditions appeared to stall growth following spring seeding, including in Beaver County.

But now in Beaver County there is no need for an official report to for farmers and others to notice that there is “an increasingly aggressive crop development” that started following widespread soaking rains in early June.

Also reported was “a significant year-over-year improvement in soil moisture levels across the province.”

The best news farmers can hear now is that three-quarters of the crops in the ground are in good or excellent condition, only marginally behind the five-year and 10-year averages, which were 74 and 73 per cent respectively. Lowest rated crops are mustard, durum wheat and potatoes while chickpeas, spring wheat, oats and flax are rated in the best condition. The report also states that other major crops like barley, canola and dry peas are basically in line with the long-term provincial averages for this time of year.

But the dry conditions after seeding mean that growth and development staging is modestly behind long term averages. But they are narrowing as the season progresses and as the rain continues to fall. The first two weeks of June saw significant areas of the province receive 40-125 mm of rain.

“Surface moisture conditions are now drastically improved,” with 76 per cent good to excellent, 19 per cent poor or fair, and five per cent excessive.

The North East area of the province, which includes Beaver County, reports crop conditions are good to excellent at this time. However, canola crops are below what the other major crops are in quality.

Soil conditions are rated as 26 per cent excellent for surface and 14 per cent excellent for subsurface; 67 per cent good (53 per cent subsoil); five per cent fair (14 subsurface); 0 per cent poor (18 per cent subsurface) and just two per cent excessive (two per cent subsurface).

Black Nugget campground open in time for Canada Day Patricia Harcourt The good news for those who like camping at Black Nugget Lake is that the campground reopened on June 29 after undergoing repairs.

Those who will be coming to camp at the site are being asked to observe certain restrictions, as stated in a media release that reads: “Please note that there is still some ongoing work being completed at the site, so when campers arrive at the campground they will notice that the RV dumping site has been relocated to an area just west of the previous location.”

That area will be gravel for the rest of the season. A concrete pad will be put in place after the

season ends.

Some modifications have also been made to the concession area. The county says landscaping work “will be ongoing.”

The campground was closed since May 24 pending completion of repairs to the sewage system and improvements to the site. At the regular meeting of council June 1, council agreed to expedite matters to get the repairs done as quickly as possible.

This meant waiving the purchasing policy to hire in a timely manner and get the work done in time to salvage some of the season. Council also authorized a change in the scope of the work regarding upgrades to the septic system infrastructure at the RV septic dump station.

Beaver County Chronicle, July 6, 2022 - 3

Hearing set for subdivision waiver application Beaver County highlights for June 15 council meeting reads as follows for a specific subdivision waiver application: The new Highway 834 bypass was constructed throughout the SW-7-51-18-W4 quarter section. As a result, the road divided several existing properties within the SW-7 creating new fragmented pieces of land.

One of the affected landowners would like to subdivide their fragmented parcel. The proposed subdivision would be for a 3.24-acre lot located directly east of the new Highway 834 bypass. All parcels within the SW-7-51-18-W4 quarter section are currently zoned as Agricultural and located within the Municipal Development Plan’s Agricultural Area. As per Section 1, subsection 1.6 of the Municipal Development Plan, and per section 6.2, subsection 4(1) of the Land Use Bylaw, there shall be no more than three (3) titled parcels per quarter section. There are currently eight (8) titled parcels located within the SW-7.

The parcel is located within the Inter-municipal Development Plan (IDP) area between Beaver County and the Town of Tofield. As per the IDP, the future land use designation for this parcel is split by the Highway 834 bypass. The land located west of the bypass (remnant land) is designated for future Urban Residential, while the land located east of the bypass (3.24 acres) is designated for future Industrial use.

The proposed subdivision aligns with the IDP

Map 2 – Future Land Use Concept.

To allow an additional subdivision, the owner is requesting that Council waive Section 1, subsection 1.6 of the Municipal Development Plan and section 6.2, subsection 4(1) of the Land Use Bylaw to allow an exemption for an additional subdivision within the Plan 5238 AP; Block Y. Due to the unique circumstances, the proposed subdivision makes sense and will not further impact the surrounding area. The current zoning will remain in place and will not impact the designated future land use as per the IDP. In addition, the landowners no longer have direct access to Highway 834 from their existing dwelling, making the fragmented parcel less accessible to them.

Referrals regarding the requested waiver and proposed subdivision have been sent to adjacent landowners, stakeholders, and the Town of Tofield for comment. The referral deadline is June 30, 2022.

Council passed a motion directing administration to schedule a non-statutory public hearing to consider: A waiver of section 1.0 Agriculture, subsection 1.6 of the Municipal Development Plan to allow an additional subdivision within Plan 5238 AP; Block Y. A waiver of section 6.2 Agricultural District, subsection 4(1) of the Land Use Bylaw to allow an additional subdivision within the Plan 5238 AP; Block Y.

2022 Construction Schedule

GPC meeting cancellation dates for July and August Patricia Harcourt The Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) met for the last time June 22 before taking a summer hiatus.

Committee members agreed to cancel their GPC meetings for July 27 and August 24. The council report stated that staffers would have difficulty doing special projects and/or taking time out for vacations otherwise.

“Cancellation of our GPC meetings in July and August will allow staff to catch up on work as well as take personal time off,” stated Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kayleena Spiers.

“Regular activities will continue throughout the summer,” she continued. “And after the July road tour and subsequent strategic planning session, the Executive Leadership Team can use the balance of the summer to prepare for a busy fall of planning and implementing council’s strategic priorities.”

Without discussion, a motion by Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) to cancel GPC meetings for the summer months was passed by the committee. The next regular meeting of council on July 6 will also have to pass the same motion based on the GPC’s recommendation to make it official.

On June 15, county council agreed to cancel the second council meetings of each upcoming month - including July 20 and August 17.

Construction Update Range Road 182 Construction Update Over the next few weeks, Range Road 182 from Township Road 500 to Highway 14, will be upgraded from an oiled surface to an all-weather hard surfaced road. This involves stabilizing the road base with soil cement before applying two coats of “chip seal”.

While this process is much different from the process to pave a road with asphalt, the end result will seem similar to residents and the travelling public resulting in a road that is not dusty when it is dry, nor muddy when it is wet.

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.

Family BBQ held in Viking Patricia Harcourt Editor

A Viking Family BBQ was held on Wednesday, June 29, offering a chance to connect with friends and neighbours in Eastview Park.

The event was spearheaded by St. Francis Daycare with support from Viking/Beaver Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) and Camrose Family Resource Centre.

It was also a fundraiser for the daycare with staff selling hot dogs, chips and a drink for $5. The money was ear-

marked to help get a second play area up and running for the children who use the daycare.

Families hung out at picnic tables while socializing. The children enjoyed an inflatable supervised by FCSS Director Dawn Chrystian. There were also games to play and the park’s playground to enjoy.

“We just thought we would try this and see how it would go,” said the daycare’s director Shelley Wolokoff.

With the turnout present at the park there is a good chance it will be put on again next year.
