Cloverlodge Stampede a country rodeo at heart Patricia Harcourt Editor

There was plenty of rodeo action at the Cloverlodge Stampede last weekend which is in its 44th year. The two-days included many other events such as a parade, hot wings contest, pancake breakfast, beer gardens and kids’ events.

C l o v e r l o d g e Stampede held its 44th annual rodeo June 8-9 with cold blustery weather favouring the stock rather than the crowds this year. The parade and rodeo events were spared the rain showers, but the rodeo slack got a soaking on Saturday morning. That same day, the rodeo was held at 4 p.m. and got just a couple sprinklings of rainwater. Then at dusk, the fireworks were put on display for all to see. Sunday included a pancake breakfast, Christian cowboy service, and a 1 p.m. rodeo performance. The beer gardens also ran both days. All events proceeded as scheduled and those who came definitely got their money’s worth, as they do every year. Before each rodeo the Diamond Cowgirls Trick Riding Group awed the crowd with their riding tricks, with Continued on Page 2

Cloverlodge Stampede Continued from Cover local volunteers helping them in the arena. The Cloverlodge Stampede is a country rodeo at heart, starting it long run nine miles north of Viking in the Cloverlodge district. When organizers decided to bring the rodeo into Viking, they kept their roots and original name For that reason, it also has the feel of an oldfashioned country picnic with its volunteers selling the famous Viking wieners on a bun and home-made pies to hungry patrons. The wieners and pies were so good, in fact, that rodeo clown Tyson Wagner raved about them and urged everyone to give them a try. He was definitely a newbie to the Viking wiener’s fa-

mous history. One thing that changed this year was the time of the parade on Saturday, which began at 1 p.m. instead of its previous morning slot. The rodeo itself began Saturday at the usual time of 4 p.m. with the help of announcer Randy Schmidt. Working to keep the riders safe were bullfighters Dylan Miller and Ben Havell. Darcy McKinnon and Chad Thorsen got stock safely out of the arena as the rodeo pickup men. Supplying the stock was contractor Walking M. Rodeo. The first half of the rodeo included bareback riding, novice horse riding, tie-down roping, junior breakaway contest, junior steer riding, ladies breakaway, and steer wrestling. Intermission included kids’ fun events such as stick horse and boot

races. There were also pony rides and sand castles for the kids. In the second half of the rodeo, barrel racing was held for ladies, juniors and pee wee competitors. Saddle bronc action followed with some chills and spills to keep the audience on their toes. On Saturday, Logan Duffy of Buck Lake got a rough landing after his ride and received some medical attention to ensure he was alright. Other events included team roping and junior bull riding. Cloverlodge Stampede Executive and Committee members worked hard once again to bring a fun and exciting rodeo over a two-day weekend. Executive includes Cory Haeberle (President), Shaun Hill (Vice-President), Ashley Leidl (Secretary) and Taryn Chomik (Treasurer).

Hot Wing Eating Contest new “hot” fundraiser for contestants Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking’s Royal Purple put on a Hot Wings Eating Contest that those who brave enough to be contestants will never likely forget - if only due to the “hotness” factor of the chicken wings they were consuming. This is the first year for the contest with eight participants lining up - all for a good cause - to eat the wings as a way to fundraise for various organizations. Contestants included Viking Mayor Jamie Buttner representing Viking Town Council and administration. He won the “Best Suited to Be A Vegan,” (aka, Sorry You Cried), trophy.

Bart Hodgins representing Lake Olivia Cemetery won “Best Fundraiser” award and trophy by raising over $1,100. Braeden Erickson represented the Viking Elks and won the “Best Performance in a Culinary Drama” trophy. The other contestants were A.J. Boadway and Rochelle Jackson who represented themselves, making them “suckers for punishment,” laughed Royal Purple President Jamie Hodgins, who, along with Chris Boadway, were the main organizers. Brad Majeski represented the Viking and District Agriculture Society, and Dale Heinrich represented Viking Minor Hockey. Another contestant

from Viking Dance Inspirations was unable to participate due to illness. “We are grateful to Mario from the Uptown Hotel who donated and cooked the wings for us, while we supplied the sauce,” said Jamie, adding that “P&H also sponsored the event.” The event was held on the Cloverlodge Stampede grounds Saturday afternoon with a large crowd of cheering onlookers to support the contestants and the struggles some were having with the hotness of the food. Stay tuned as Royal Purple organizers will provide more information in next week’s edition of the Weekly Review. More photos on Pg 12

Contestants for the Hot Wing Eating Contest were, from left: Jamie Buttner, Shaun Hill, Bart Hodgins, Rochelle Jackson, Braedon Erickson, A.J. Boadway, Brad Majeski, and Dale Heinrich. Each had a charity that they were working for but only three took pledges.

WORD ON THE STREET

Possible gunshot reported to RCMP In the early morning hours of June 3, 2024, police responded to a complaint from a female stating her boyfriend was being stabbed in Edmonton. When police arrived on scene and spoke with the female she admitted that she was suffering from a delusion and no one was being stabbed. The complainant was spoken to at length and agreed to seek medical attention. That same morning, police responded to a theft in progress at a lease. Members attended the location, and with the assistance of employees, located a van which was stuck in a field and covered by branches. The members were alerted to the location of the suspect by an employee. Members searched the area and found a male, the male was identified and released from police custody. Charges of mischief are pending against the 43-year-old male. Later that morning, police received a request to conduct a well-being check on an individual in Viking. Members attended the residence of the subject and found that he was not at home. The complainant advised that they would request further assistance if the

subject did not attend his medical appointments. That same morning, a cell phone was found on Highway 14 and turned in to the police. That afternoon, police received a request from the Saskatoon Police Service to attend a residence and conduct a notification to next of kin. Before police could complete the request, they were notified the subject was already in Saskatoon and the police there would complete the notification. Later that afternoon, police responded to a family dispute. The subjects were all spoken to and separated to avoid further conflicts. In the early morning of June 4, police received a complaint of a possible gunshot at a residence. Members attended the location and determined that windows in the residence were broken by a blunt object. There were no witnesses or surveillance on the property. There was insufficient evidence to pursue any further investigation into this matter. That afternoon, police received a complaint of a theft of trail cameras. The complainant advised that he is missing three trail cameras from his property.

OPINION Why transitioning to electric vehicles by 2035 is unrealistic The federal government has mandated that all new light-duty vehicles be electric by 2035. Achieving that goal would require vastly more electrical generation capacity and an enormous expansion of charging stations. A Fraser Institute study published in March found that handling the higher load would require either 13 large new gas plants or the equivalent of 10 new mega-dams the size of B.C.’s $16-billion hydro Site C. Just one problem: almost all viable hydro sites have already been dammed. Plus, it took 10 years to get environmental approval for Site C and another 10 to build it. That leaves the natural gas plants. But powering EVs with natural gas puts the kibosh on zero emissions. The cost of building and operating 13 new gas plants would be enormous. Who would pay for them? It’s virtually impossible to separate power billing by source, so they need to be rolled into existing electricity rates. That would increase costs for Canadian businesses, many of which are already struggling. And it might even lead inflation-weary citizens to take to the streets with or without their trucks. The only alternative would be huge nationwide power subsidies in a country already carrying a massive national debt. And then there are the direct EV subsidies to consider. The federal government provides a $5,000 subsidy for every EV purchased in Canada. And powering up all these new EVs, if people do buy them, would require a major expansion of charging stations. Here again, taxpayers are riding to the rescue with the $680-million “Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program” – this after the federal government has already spent more than a billion dollars “to make EVs more affordable and chargers more accessible for Canadians.” Adding to the taxpayer largesse, a new electric vehicle supply chain incentive provides a 30 percent tax credit for vehicle assembly, battery production and acquisition of materials (e.g., lithium, cobalt and manganese) used in the cathodes that make batteries work. It was designed for Honda’s recently announced $15-billion plant but also applies to other new projects. If your head isn’t already spinning trying to comprehend the massive scale of con-

sumer and taxpayer largesse to the EV industry, there’s another huge subsidy to think about: free road use. We reprehensible drivers of gasoline and diesel vehicles pay a lot in fuel taxes. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s 2022 Gas Tax Honesty Report shows that Canadian drivers pay an average of 55 cents per litre in gasoline taxes. Combining that information with Statistics Canada data showing total consumption of 42.5 million litres means Canadian drivers paid over $23 billion in road use taxes. Meanwhile, EV drivers pay nothing. Apart from the obvious unfairness, Ottawa’s EV mandate would gradually remove gasoline and diesel vehicles from the road. When they’re gone, who’s going to pay to maintain the roads for all those EVs to travel on? Finally, the bottom-line question: Will this big shift to electric vehicles have any environmental benefits? An International Energy Agency study shows that to meet international EV pledges, the world will need no fewer than 388 new lithium, nickel and cobalt mines. But the time between regulatory application to actual production ranges from six to nine years for lithium and 13 to 18 years for nickel. And 2035 is only 11 years away. What about the human cost of all those mines? Most rare-earth minerals are currently found in developing countries, fully half in Africa, where reports of child labour and other human rights abuses are all too common. A team of researchers centred at Northwestern University examined the impact of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo and found it had “dire effects on human well-being.” Therefore, the answer to the question Will the shift to electric vehicles have any net environmental benefit? is clearly no. The human cost of trying to meet the EV targets will be profoundly negative. Those factors alone make it highly unlikely that Ottawa’s ban on gasoline vehicles will actually happen. But the biggest reason it will fail is that people don’t want it. There are new reports of EV sales collapsing despite both subsidies from governments and price-slashing from firms. Governments are discovering, to their dismay and citizens’ relief, that, as Adam Smith himself put it in his 1759 book The Theory of Moral Sentiments, “people are not chess pieces to be moved around by a hand from above.” Gwyn Morgan Gwyn Morgan is a retired business leader who has been a director of five global corporations. © Troy Media

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Keep children AWAY from lawn mowers! Dear Editor, As we are now in the season of lawn maintenance and outdoor activities, I would like to remind everyone about the potential hazards associated with machinery such as lawn mowers, especially in the presence of children. I was only two when an accident forever altered the course of my life. Innocently playing outside, I ventured too close to a moving lawn mower, unaware of the danger it posed. The operator was unaware of my presence and backed up, not realizing I had stumbled and fallen behind the lawn mower. I was rushed to the hospital where

doctors had to amputate my right arm above the elbow and part of my left hand. As a graduate of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, I am advocating for safety measures around lawn mowers. I accept who I am today, but I wouldn’t want another child to go through what I did. It’s important to recognize that accidents can occur in the blink of an eye, with lifelong consequences. By sharing my story and raising awareness, I hope to encourage greater caution and vigilance among parents, caregivers and communities alike. Denise Swedlo The War Amps

Viking Royal Purple June update Dawn Hodgins Ten enthusiastic members met on June 4 for our regular monthly meeting before we break for the summer. A bountiful pizza supper and “Donna’s Donuts” were enjoyed before we went to work. First VP Chris Boadway opened the meeting in the absence of President Jamie Hodgins. Items were delivered to the Food Bank by Doreen Willey and more will be delivered on June 12 when several of our members plan to attend the Food Bank appreciation lunch. Holly Perley once again made the trip to Costco and delivered a load of TP. Plans for our Hot Wing Contest at the Cloverlodge Rodeo were put in place; unfortunate-

ly only nine brave participants have stepped up to support our fundraiser. We are grateful to our awesome Mayor Jamie Buttner who has helped round up participants and is actually joined in to taste the wings, too! We’re also grateful to the town for the use of tables and chairs, and to Muriel Hill for all of her assistance with getting us a time spot during the rodeo. Also to Mario at the Uptown Hotel who donated the wings and the cooking of the wings for us. And to participants Jamie Buttner, Shaun Hill, Bart Hodgins, Rochelle Jackson, Brandon Erickson, TJ Boadway, Brad Majeski and Dale Heinrich. To date, Bart collected the most pledges, followed by Dale and Jamie. More information will follow

after calculations are made. Nine RP ladies planned to attend and assist where needed. We are happy that Doreen Willey reconstructed our big sign board to post there. We attended both the Extendicare and Vialta Lodge for RP day and the 67 swimming kids presented an outstanding show of songs and poems. They all received “Donna’s Donuts” as a treat for being such good entertainers. Cake, ice cream and strawberries were served to all the residents. It was so nice to visit each home. The recycle of pop tabs is coming to a close at the school. Weigh-in and seeing which room collected the most will happen soon. RP appreciates all the students who participated in this project.

Lake Oliva Cemetery update Dawn Hodgins Twenty-six interested members met on June 2 for a hot dog lunch and Lake Oliva Annual General Meeting for 2024. We all enjoyed the treats, veggie trays, fruit trays, and of course the “dogs,” which Greg expertly barbequed. After enjoying our lunch, President Bart Hodgins called the meeting to order. Minutes of 2023 Annual General Meeting were presented by secretary Justin Piwowar. Financial report was presented by treasurer Tracy Beaumont. As a registered charity under the federal government, we are able to write charitable receipts for donations

and they can be used in your income tax. We recognize the county for the $1,000 that we receive annually to help with the upkeep of the site. It certainly helps with the care taking of the cemetery and we are a county cemetery. Reports were presented. Justin on the QR codes that can be set up for individual grave sites, with all the departed family members’ information. You simply take a picture of the code with your cell phone, open the information and read on. Quite a unique idea. “Wet and Forget” is a treatment to get rid of the moss build up on graves. It works and is not that costly to use! Greg Beaumont re-

ported on a newly installed west gate that was donated by Justin. Thanks Justin! The gate will be locked in order to try and keep unwanted vehicles from driving all over our well-maintained grass. No one is supposed to drive in the area, it is small and in the dry season it really is hard on the grass. Greg also spoke on a new information board that is installed by the front gate. We have a map of all the marked grave sites, to make it easier for anyone to find the site they are looking for. Our library box guestbook is being signed by some visitors. Nice! Bart has brought water down several times for our new row of trees and

A motion was passed to keep the entire executive and board members. These young community members are doing an outstanding job. Drive past and take a walk through the cemetery. It was started in 1921 and has been well maintained for most of those years. We are now into generations of local families who are willing to put in their time and energy to make this a blessed resting place.

Public access to County closed session info needs clarifying in bylaw Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council gave second reading to its updated procedural bylaw but delayed third (final) reading pending clarification of closed session information packages. First reading took place in April but council left it open for a month pending further consideration from council and the public. Manager of Legislation Services Margaret Jones outlined the reasons for Bylaw 24-1148 at council’s May 22 regular meeting. “This bylaw streamlines the consent agenda process,” she said, “adjusts the regular meeting times to align with the recent changes in meeting frequency, clarifies when closed session information will be distributed and removes the provision for friendly amendments.” After passing second reading made by Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5), Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) wanted clarification on the provisions made for information packages in closed session. He asked if the information provided to council would be separate or distinct from that provided to the public. Jones said Section 45 “is strictly about getting items (of information) to council.” She suggested suspending third reading of the bylaw in order to make a change in that passage. Hrabec wanted the clarification added regarding “the release of public documents from closed session.” His motion was passed to direct administration to include a clarification in the procedural bylaw concerning the county’s stand on the release of closed session items to the public. “There may be items (that are) bad…for release,” he said, citing land as one example, or other items, that should not be released to the public. The motion carried. The section 45 presented in the updated procedural bylaw of concern to Hrabec reads as follows: “The CAO shall recommend the agenda items to be included under the Closed Session heading of the agenda in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act, and shall be responsible for the security of ny confidential documents. Background information related to Closed Session Agenda items will be distributed separately and in a secure manner with the Agenda “or as soon as possible following distribution of the Agenda.” (quotes for new line added to updated section). Once administration brings back a revised version of that section of the bylaw, council will consider giving it third and final reading.

This photograph of a recent storm in early June combines both a rainbow and a lightning bolt occurring simultaneously in the sky. “I just had to share my lucky photo,” said photographer M. Olson, resident of Beaver County.

Council refers remuneration policy back to committee Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council referred a councillor remuneration policy amendment issue back to the Governance and Priorities committee (GPC) after failing to reach a consensus at their regular meeting May 22. Discussion at the regular meeting concerned deleting the old policy CCL-003 in favour of new Policy GOV-006 - Councillor Remuneration, to go into effect June 20. “In conjunction with the employee compensation review, council directed administration to conduct a survey amongst Alberta’s rural municipalities with respect to councillor remuneration,” Margaret Jones, manager of legislative services, stated in her report to council outlining the parameters for council to consider. A former GPC meeting reviewed the survey that resulted and recommended amendments to the current policy reflecting a new hybrid-style policy, said Jones. “Most municipalities are moving to fixed rates,” she said, regarding payments to councillors. “We’ve seen this numerous times at the Governance and Priorities Committee,” remarked Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1). Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) took exception to being paid for attending graduations under the category of Public Relations and Advocacy Events: He called grads “a privilege to attend…I think they should be exempt from payment,” he said. But Jones explained that councilors get one fixed payment for everything they do or attend under that category. She said the kind of events that council attends is so widespread that the $300 fixed payment covers other things as well as grads.

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) commented that events can be all day in nature. To that, Jones said the policy is written to cover whether one event or 10 events are attended. She said the policy could be changed if a councillor feels strongly about it, but Pederson said he now has an explanation. However, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said all should be included in the per diems and dealt with ‘externally’ based on.his belief in transparency. “There’s too much in the grey,” he said, of the policy’s payments. When Reeve Smook called for a motion to delete the old policy, there were no takers from council. “I think that’s the cart before the horse,” said Hrabec. Jones said the recommendations to council that day were based on assumptions gathered from the last GPC meeting. “If council is not comfortable with this policy we can give direction to make changes or council could defeat them,” she offered. Hrabec responded by making a motion “to send this back to the GPC for further discussion. “I think there is some tweaking we can do,” he said, to the policy, “and peel that onion right back…We had discussion but we never had total agreement.” Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) had concerns over what to bill for on time sheets. In reference to one single payment per month covering event, he said the number of agenda items on council meetings and the number of events attended can change dramatically from one month to another. Hrabec’s motion to refer this discussion to an upcoming Governance and Priorities Committee was passed.

TOWNSHIP ROAD 490 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE Over the next few weeks, Township Road 490 from range road 124 to range O rroad 120, will be upgraded from a gravelled 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 period, parts of the road may be closed for crew safety. Please use alternative routes; detours will be clearly marked. If you must drive through construction zones, proceed with caution (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.

DONT R.I.P. THROUGH CONSTRUCTION ZONES Construction workers have families, friends, and lives. Please respect the posted speed limits in construction zones to ensure they can return home safely.

Thank you

Beaver County Council is considering Bylaw #24-1152 which will repeal Bylaw #20-1076. Bylaw #20-1076 was passed in 2020 to redistrict a portion of Plan 022 6466, Block 1, Lot 1 in S ½ of SE/SW 32-50-20-W4 from Agricultural District - A to Country Residential District - CR so that a residential acreage (approximately 7 acres) could be created.

Bylaw #24-1152 will repeal Bylaw #20-1076 and return the districting of the portion of Lot 1 to Agricultural District – A. The area under consideration is shown below: The subject land is located west of Tofield, south of Township Road 510 and adjacent to Range Road 205. The municipal address is 50503 L Rge Rd 205.

4 - Beaver County Chronicle, June 12, 2024

Passed new area structure plan paves way for increased industrial park use Patricia Harcourt Beaver County held a public hearing May 22 on a proposal to update the area structure plan (ASP) for Equity Industrial Park. The county has been working with Beairsto and Associates to update the park’s ASP and the public hearing was held May 22 to hear opinions for or against the expansion project. The Area Structure Plan “will assist council to plan for development of the park,” stated the report to council regarding financial implications. “The plan’s vision is to encompass light and medium industrial activities as well as low impact ecofriendly industrial endeavours o foster economic diversification, thereby contributing to the county’s success,” explained Manager of Legislative Services Margaret Jones, in her report to council. The report states that the plan identifies environmentally sensitive areas, or wetlands, which will be avoided as much as possible as development progresses. Jones said that, if any wetlands are disturbed, Water Act approvals will be required from Alberta Environmental and Protected Areas. To make this happen, permanent

larger wetlands and stormwater management ponds will be relocated to give the EIP a more efficient layout for land use. Wetland areas in the east and north are to be used for fire protection ponds. Beairsto and Associates conducted other studies including geotechnical and geographical surveys, a water and sewer servicing analyses, stormwater management plan and transportation and access evaluation. Adjacent landowners John and Catherine Jensen gave comments regarding the plan at the hearing and provided a two submissions. The Jensens wrote that the open house on March 27 in Ryley was not helpful as they wanted to read a copy of the draft document in its entirety before providing comments. But there were no copies available and the Jensens said the information boards provided no context to their talking points. “It was a waste of our time as a couple of the questions we asked were not being adequately answered either, and no information appeared to be available to review other than the context-less boards,” they stated. The Jensens provided information on how water flow in the area structure plan could impact their farm stating that “the document

Bruce Stampede represented

lacks sufficient detail.” And they asked about the funding sources for the ASP. “Will our taxes rise beyond the ratepayers’ capability to fulfill your dreams or will we be beholden to Claystone, Clean Harbors, Blackrock or other corporate entities,” they asked. Beairsto and Associates Engineering said the firm doesn’t provide hard copies of their 31page draft ASP because it is an ecofriendly firm and, apart from the Jensens, few people want the entire document to peruse. And, while the Jensens disagreed with the county’s report that, “generally the community was welcoming of the plan,” the consultants felt that “the statement was correct, in.our opinion.” As for certain culvert discrepancies pointed out by the Jensens, they pointed out that these were

already updated in the ASP that day. This was following a question from Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3 councillor). Jones stated that the adjacent landowner’s submitted comments had resulted in the ASP being amended with respect to the Community Consultation section (Section 1.4). “The culvert locations have been added to Figure 7, the status of the access off Highway 14 at Range Road 172 has been clarified and Rge.Rd. 172 has been added to Figure 8.” She added that, “the balance of their comments are noted but no adjustments to the ASP are recommended.” Following the public hearing, county council agreed to pass second and third readings to enact the county’s updated area structure plan for Equity Industrial Park.

New Village of Holden logo chosen from 17 submissions Kari Janzen Staff Reporter

During Holden’s annual Farmer’s Day celebration on Saturday, June 8, the Village unveiled their brand-new logo, chosen from the 17 design submissions from community members. Nilan Kostyk’s design, a resident of Holden and grade 10 student attending Holden Rural Academy, was crowned first place and will succeed the Village’s previous logo. The Village decided the need for a refreshed logo as a result of coming up with a new slogan for the Village, Holden Has Heart. Previously the slogan was, ‘Share the Charm of Country Living.’ “The Council had a strategic planning session in 2023, from that we came up with a new tagline, ‘Holden Has Heart,’ and it was decided to change the logo. Holden's culture, recre-

ation, and the school, are possible due to the compassionate hearts of the many volunteers who make all of these things possible, and as such, Council and Administration wanted to reflect that in the new logo,” Village of Holden Chief Administrative Officer Rosemary Offrey said in an earlier interview. Kostyk said he wanted to create a logo for the Village as soon as he heard about the contest. “My mom works at the Village office, so I heard about it right away. I was interested in submitting something pretty early, because it would be pretty cool to have my logo be part of it. “I wanted to do a heart of some kind, because of the new catchphrase for Holden, Holden Has Heart. My mom thought about how Holden has teamwork and everyone's bonded, so that's why I thought of the heart-

shaped handhold,” Kostyk said. Kostyk said while the idea was simple enough, it took a bit of time to draw out. “I did it by hand, and I'm not really the best at drawing, so it took a little bit to draw, but the idea came pretty easy,” he said. Kostyk submitted two designs, the contest maximum, the second being a heart with a little cowboy hat. The contest submission deadline was April 4, and designers had to wait until Farmer’s Day for the final reveal. “My mom knew that I was the winner on the day that Council voted, but she didn’t tell me, and kept it a secret,” Kostyk said. Kostyk has lived in the village for the majority of his lifetime, and had relatives who have lived in Holden as well. “I moved here when I was around two or three, but I’ve lived here since then. I've lived here most

Ambulance struck by gravel truck Kari Janzen Staff Reporter

Around 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 9, an ambulance transporting a stable patient was struck by an eastbound Super B side dump gravel truck at the intersection of Highway 14 and Secondary Highway 855 at Holden. The ambulance is owned and operated by Medavie Health Services West, which operates out of Fort Saskatchewan. Troy Davies, Director of Public Affairs for Medavie Health Services West, said the ambulance was transporting a patient from Vegreville to Camrose. “We were transporting a stable patient from Vegreville to Camrose, and we were involved in a vehicle crash where our front passenger side of our vehicle on Highway 14 and 855 was hit.

“Currently, the accident is still under investigation,” Davies said. Tofield RCMP said after the [southbound ambulance] vehicle came to a stop, it proceeded forward and was struck by the gravel truck. The semi-truck and trailers ended up in the north ditch, with the trailers flipped upside down, spilling the load of gravel, and the truck on its side, with the driver door facing the sky. “The patient was diverted to the U of A where they were given treatment and they remained in stable condition,” Davies said. “The driver of the other vehicle, who refused transport, had minor injuries, and both our paramedics were assessed at the Vegreville hospital with minor injuries.” The highway was cleared late that afternoon.
