Grace Sutter performs puck drop at U11 Finals

PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTOS The Viking Gas Kings hosted the U11 Tier 3 NEAHL Finals last weekend at the Viking Carena Complex. A special guest, Grade Sutter (centre), dropped the puck for the ceremonial face-off to start the first game of the tournament between the Viking Gas Kings (blue jersey) and the Tofield Titans (white jersey).

Members of the Viking RCMP Detachment were resplendent in their red serge dress uniforms and also participated in the ceremony.

The Viking Gas Kings U11 team played host to the North East Alberta Hockey League Tier 3 divisional finals on the weekend.

The rink at the Viking Carena Complex was a busy place as five teams took to the ice over a three-day period.

Facing off over the course of the weekend

were the Viking Gas Kings, St. Paul Canadiens, Marwayne Dewberry Renegades, Pembina Pirates, and Tofield Titans.

The tournament began with the honoured Grade Sutter performing the puck drop for the first game.

The Viking Gas Kings faced off against the Tofield Titans.

The Gas Kings roster consisted of #2 Taylor Docksteader, #3 Tyson Crocker, #5 Peyton Bird,

#6 Avery Erickson, #7 Liam Doucette, #8 Easton Morken, #10 Emily Amundson, #11 Kruz Littau, #12 Kolt Morken, #14 Kaelen Hakes, #16 Matthew Lampitt, #17 Stetson Shepley, and #29 Taylen Place.

JOHN’S RANT

Bozo eruptions out of Calgary last week

So my expertise as a political prognosticator took a direct hit in the past week when both Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan and former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi both threw their hats into the ring to replace outgoing Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley.

But my thoughts are that neither will win the leadership.

McGowan after announcing he would be the best leader to head up the Workers’ Paradise party because he is the chief ringleader of the Workers’ Paradise known as a union, promptly dropped out of sight because he has Covid.

I can’t wait for McGowan to share a stage with Nenshi so they can share the best ways to make the Workers’ Paradise they want for Alberta to occur. Three debates are scheduled for April 25, May 11, and June 2.

But Nenshi has been stroking all the pundits with his name-calling and cutting down of Premier Danielle Smith to date and not offering any ideas.

He made a tour of the legislature and was feted by the mainstream media and given a huge soap-

box to further call out Smith.

He likened her battles standing up for Alberta against overzealous intrusions by Ottawa as watching a “particularly irritating playground fight.”

And he went on, stating her fights with Liberal Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault are like “Godzilla vs. Mothra – two monsters you don’t particularly like, and we’re the ones who suffer. I think we need some grown-ups in the room on both sides here.”

Although he did choose to call Smith immoral this week, stealing the word from Guilbeault’s criticism of Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe a week earlier.

Maybe immoral is the new buzzword for politicians to chastise each other with?

They could use corrupt, bad, wicked, evil, iniquitous, sinful, impure, unethical, unprincipled, or one of many other words from a Thesaurus, but I guess they’re just too lazy to look them up.

Nenshi knew Smith at the University of Calgary but now believes “the premier is not the person I used to know 30 years ago, but rather someone

who is just concerned with manipulation and triangulation to see how she can stay in power. We deserve better than that.”

In announcing his candidacy, Nenshi said he believes the entire constitution of the NDP needs a modernization, including its relationship with the federal NDP, adding his analysis was that the costs vastly outweighed the benefits of being affiliated with the party.

Working with those party backroomers isn’t the way an independent Nenshi wants to move the party.

And an alliance with Jagmeet Singh the Supreme Leader and wannabe prime minster of the Federal NDP. Well, Nenshi isn’t alone in wanting to sever ties with him.

But will the grass roots want a Nenshi?

He certainly has name recognition in the southern city. But Edmonton is the power base of the provincial dippers. Will they want to cede control to a southerner?

Especially a southerner with a high independent streak and no NDP ties whatsoever.

Nenshi will be seen as only a political opportunist seeking to gain a big title based on his name and somewhat

spotty mayoral reputation.

And speaking of political opportunism.

Trudeau, the younger (Justin), came to Calgary and allowed the Premier the luxury of gracing his presence.

Well Smith had a couple of things on her mind and in her own bluntly straight speaking way told Trudeau he should fire his puppet Environmental and Climate Minister Guilbeault and listen to the voices of seven provincial Premiers, the Federal Conservatives and the majority of Canadians and not raise the federal Carbon Tax on April 1.

Trudeau then snidely talked to the assembled mainstream media to blurt out he fully supported the loose-lipped Guilbeault and he wasn’t going anywhere.

Further he wouldn’t be altering plans to advance the Carbon Tax hike April 1.

It certainly was a “Let Them Eat Cake” moment for our Prime Minister.

I guess he needs that additional carbon tax to pay for the hefty 4.2 per cent pay raises he and all parliamentarians in Ottawa are lining their pockets with also as of April 1.

A backbench MP’s salary is currently

$194,600. A minister collects $287,400, while the prime minister takes home a $389,200 annual salary.

After this year’s pay raise, backbench MPs will receive a $202,700 annual salary, according to Canadian Taxpayer Federation estimates. A minister will collect $299,300, while Trudeau will take home $405,400.

The average annual salary among all full-time workers is about $67,000, according to Statistics Canada.

The only joke this April Fool’s Day will be on regular Canadians pocket books!

WORD ON THE STREET Wellbeing check results in deceased found Barb Chrystian 780-385-0631 On March 11, police received a complaint of a theft of tools from a residence in Viking.

This investigation is ongoing.

On March 12, police responded to a theft of fuel southwest of Viking.

The complainant advised that diesel had been syphoned from his fuel tank and a control box, registration and insurance taken from his grain truck. No surveillance or further evidence was left at the scene.

That afternoon, a collision with an ATV was reported to police.

The complainant advised he struck a drainage ditch in a field north of Viking, and reported it for insurance purposes.

That same afternoon, police responded to a complaint of mischief.

The complainant advised that the windows to his RV were damaged and he believed that rocks had been thrown at them.

Members noted the window glass was only on the outside of the vehicle indicating nothing went through the windows. Due to the

rapid weather changes the windows could have broken from the temperature fluctuation.

The male was located by police and arrested.

He was later transported by the Sheriff department back to a federal institution.

On March 13, police received a complaint of an attempted break and enter. A sea-can at the rear of a business in Viking had a lock cut off and a second lock had the key hole drilled. No theft occurred.

Later that morning, a report of a theft of a licence plate was received. Police have no suspects.

During the early morning hours of March 14, police were called to assist EMS with a sudden death in Viking. Police attended and deemed the death non-suspicious in nature.

reviewed. No theft occurred, police are still investigating this matter.

plaint of theft from an Atco site was received.

Pep Rally cheers on U11 Gas Kings before tournament Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking School gymnasium was full of students cheering on the U11 Gas Kings at a noon pep rally last Friday.

The Viking team was excited to be hosting the U11 Tier 3 North East Alberta Hockey League (NEAHL) Finals March 15-17.

And they were looking to get some encouragement from their class mates before heading off to the Viking Carena Complex for their fist game against the Tofield Titans.

Announcer Ryan Doucette introduced

each player as he or she ran around the gym high fiving and fist pumping along with the cheering crowd.

The players then took a seat on a bench with the others.

Then everyone was treated to a slide show presentation of the team in action. Viking Minor Hockey President Jeff

Bird also revealed that VMH would have a new mascot for the Gas Kings in June.

After that exciting announcement, Doucette invited everyone to come out and watch the Gas Kings play later that afternoon. The stands were full of fans for that first game at the Viking Carena Complex.

County wants Ryley to get Clean Harbors’ funding and documents for review Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council went with the administrative recommendation regarding funding for interpretation of annual reports, and said the money and documents should go to the Village of Ryley.

A motion by Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) was passed that the Village of Ryley should accept Clean Harbors’ offer for annual funding to engage a qualified independent consultant to review and interpret Clean Harbors’ annual operating reports and other publicly available documents. Also, the county recommended that the results be reported to both the county and village councils and the general public.

In her report to council Feb, 21, manager of legislative services Margaret Jones offered an explanation: “RPAC has been working with

Alberta Environment and Clean Harbors to ensure satisfactory monitoring of Clean Harbors’ landfill and to address concerns of potential groundwater contamination,” she stated.

As a result, Alberta Environment has committed “to provide greater oversight of Clean Harbors’ operations at the Ryley landfill, investigate complaints, and enforce conditions of the operating approval,” said Jones.

Clean Harbors offered to provide funding to either Beaver County or the Village of Ryley to interpret annual reports and other documents, increase the number of facility updates to the community, and develop an emergency notification plan.

“This issue was discussed by Ryley/Beaver Intermunicipal Committee in January,” said Jones.

“The Committee referred the matter to each

council for a recommendation. As of the date of writing this RFD, the village has not considered the matter.”

Jones concluded that: “The Clean Harbors facility is within the village’s jurisdiction, therefore administration recommends that the village receive the funds and coordinate the review.”

Division 2 Councillor Lionel Williams agreed that the county wasn’t really a part of the mix with the Ryley Public Advisory Committee (RPAC), the Village of Ryley and Clean Harbors.

He also referred to funding of $10,000 which Jones had recommended go to the village, which should be in charge of any reviewing documents provided by Clean Harbors.

“We aren’t involved,” he said.

County CAO Kayleena Spiess said the motion was a way of getting clarity on the matter: “It’s the village’s to handle,” she said.

Water infrastructure from Budget 2024 may benefit local communities in and around county Patricia Harcourt The need for more water infrastructure in Beaver County has become apparent due to the threat of drought this year in the area.

The issue was discussed at the county’s Feb. 21 meeting where council agreed to investigate alternate plans to secure a clear water source for agricultural uses in preparation for potential water restrictions.

The county has also agreed to send a letter to the Agriculture Service Board informing it that the recommendation for needed alternate sources of water will become part of the county’s Water Viability Project.

The Town of Viking is looking to preserve its potable water by offering agricultural producers a source of water that hasn’t been treated but will work well for spraying and other ag related purposes. The project will be completed this

spring in time for farmers to use ithis water derived from Iron Creek and stored in the town’s former reservoirs, used before the town became part of the waterline service that runs down Highway 14.

The county also recognizes that “waater restrictions and droughts can heavily impact agriculture,” as stated in the county’s report on the matter last month.

Last Friday, the province made an announcement regarding the need to keep critical water infrastructure afloat during these times of potential drought and restrictions.

The province has stated that Budget 2024 has trageted investments in municipal infrastructure to improve water treatment and support communities. The Town of Viking will be looking for support for their own non-potable truck station for agriculture uses from this source of funding.

Growing populations are creating the need for improved water and wastewater infrastrucuture.

“That is why Alberta’s government is once again increasing funding for grant programs to better manage water resources and support the growing water infrastructure needs of municipalities,” stated the March 15 press release.

This initiative would provide $481.9 million in grants for municipal water programs over three years, an increase of $173.9 million over last year.

Devin Dreeshen, minister of transportation and economic corridors, added to this by stating: “Alberta’s government recognizes the huge demand for water that comes with a growing population.

“Through Budget 2024, we are helping municipalities by funding new and repairing old Continued on BCC4

“I’m proud that through water, road, transit and bridge grants, my department funds nearly $1 billion per year to municipalities.”

The announcement also comes at a good time for Beaver County.

On Feb. 5, council conducted a 2024 Priorities Planning workshop, stated the county’s manager of transportation Dan Blackie.

“During the workshop, it was determined that the investigation into alternate water sources is a priority,” he stated. “The project is called the Water Viability Project and the purpose is to address the long term solutions for water shortages pertaining to human consumption, agriculture and industrial usage.

“The scope of work required is vast and will require multiple internal resources with a strong possibility of external and specialized expertise for investigating, researching, engineering, logistic planning and stakeholder engagement,” said Black.

“Considering the impact of a project of this magnitude, it is administration’s opinion that it will be impractical to complete the

as councillor by acclamation.

However, council also took the opportunity to hold a closed session of council under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIP).

Discussion took place under “Disclosure harmful to economic and other interests of the public body - Town office relocation.”

About 90 minutes later council came out of closed session.

Deputy Mayor Cindy Lefsrud made a motion which was passed and read: “Council motion administration to act on the purchase of the commercial property on Main Street address 5112-50 Street.

The property is listed as a 2,700 sq. ft. renovated commercial build-

ing with plenty of parking space at the rear of the building.

The property is listed at $80,000.

Council has not said anything concerning this move so far.

However, there may be more to come once the open house is held on Wednesday this week.

proet before the summer of 2024, but it is feasible to begin the investigation and research phase.”

Apart from drought issues, the county wants to increase its supply of water in order to carry out an economic development plan that includes an expansion of Equity Industrial Park. Letters and personal presentations since last fall have emphasized these points to provincial ministers.

In the meantime, the Alberta government stated March 15 that it “recognizes that water is a vital resource.”

This means that in order to continue attracting investment and development, municipalities need modern and effective water treatment facilities, including high priority water supply projects, water and wastewater treatment plants, and disposal facilities in small communities,” concluded the proviincial government.

Nate Horner, minister of the treasury board and finance, echoed this direction: “Municipalities need to expand their water facilities so they can continue to provide clean water to their growing communities,” he said.

He added, however, a point that would resonate with the objectives Beaver County has for investment projects and growing the local economy: “But these projects also support the entrepre-

neurs, businesses and industries that are keeping our economy humming,” he said. “And will help municipalities attract even more investors.”

He added: “Our government is prou to provide the resources they need to expand, succeed and share in our economic prosperity.”

The funding supports the Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater Parnership, Water for Life and First NationsWater Tie-In Peograms.

For smaller Alberta communities like Viking, with a population under 45,000, the Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater

Partnrship helps upgrade water supply and treatment and wastewater treat,et systems.

And the Water for Life program helps municipalities cover up to 90-100 per cent of the costs for specialized projects.

The serve to provide “critical financial supports to smaller municipalities to ensure Albertans in every community have the water resources needed to accelerate economic development and attract more industry investment,” states the government in a statement that could be directly referring to the needs of Beaver County.
