Irma U13 Girls win Provincials for second year in a row Gwyneth Gulbraa The Irma U13 female hockey team, coached by Tausha Erickson (head coach), Clay Holt, Darcy Gulbraa and Darren Prior travelled to Lethbridge on the last weekend of March to compete in Provincials.

While Heart and Hustle Awards were distributed at every game, manager Carrie Larson stated, “Every girl deserved this award at every game!”

The girls met their first team, the hosts, on Thursday at 1:45 p.m. and beat them handily with a 10-4 score. Scoring for Irma were: C. Boe (2), C. Broadhead (2), with one each from: L. Prior, W. Fletcher, S. Larson, R. Erickson, E. Gulbraa and A. Newton. Assists: C. Broadhead, L. Prior, and W. Fletcher. Shots were 58 for Irma and 13 for Lethbridge. Afterwards they enjoyed supper at the unique Water Tower Grill, which is an old water tower converted into a restaurant – 100 ft. in the air providing its diners with a marvellous view of the city.

Friday’s game was against St. Albert and Irma bested them 7-3. Scoring for Irma were: S. Larson, R.

Erickson, C. Broadhead, W. Fletcher, E. Gulbraa, T. Hollar and E Holt. Assists were from: S. Larson, R. Erickson, W. MacKay, E. Fenton, and C Boe. Then there were the opening ceremonies; the National Anthem was sung in three languages: Cree, French and English. The team dined at Moxie’s and was impressed at the service for 65 people. They also had team photos taken at the Lethbridge Bridge.

Beaverlodge didn’t have much of a chance going up against the Irma Females, who were giving their all on Saturday, winning that game 8-1. Irma’s scorers were: S. Larson, R. Erickson, C. Broadhead (2), W. Fletcher, E. Gulbraa, E. Holt, and T. Hollar. Assists were from: S. Larson (3), R. Erickson (2), W. MacKay,

E. Fenton, and C. Boe. The host banquet was held at the Coast Lethbridge Hotel and Conference Centre; and reports were that it was terrific with a wonderful supper, door prizes, minute to minute games, a photo booth and a dance.

How much fun can you have, though, when you have to get sleep so you can play in the semi-final and perhaps final game the next day?

Stettler Storm squared off against the Irma Aces Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in the semi-final game. The shots were 51 for Irma and 8 for Stettler as Irma worked them over and won 7 to 1. Scoring for Irma were: E. Gulbraa (2), S. Larson, C. Broadhead, Continued On Page 2

Irma U13s Continued from Front

R. Erickson, W. Fletcher and C Boe. Assists: S. Larson (2), E. Gulbraa, E. Holt (2), A. Newton and W. MacKay. Irma would like to thank their loyal and numerous fans of at least a hundred; their support is much appreciated.

How exciting is it to make it to the final game? Once again, the Aces encountered St Albert, and they were

ready to win Provincial Gold! Shots on goal were 42 for Irma and 13 for St. Albert; the final score was 10 - 0. Scoring for the Aces were: A. Newton (4), S. Larson (2), E. Gulbraa (2), C. Boe and C. Broadhead. Assists: E. Holt (3), two each for: C. Boe, R. Erickson, and G. Jackson. One each for: E. Fenton, W. Fletcher, T. Hollar, L. Prior, J. Anquist, C. Broadhead, S. Larson and A. Newton.

After a very long ride home – some of it in the fog - a final celebration was held at the Larson’s in Hardisty. Congratulations to the coaching staff, manager and especially the girls for capturing the Provincial banner two years in a row

Municipalities receive MSI funding for last time this year - new funding structure to follow Patricia Harcourt Editor

Local municipalities, along with all other such jurisdictions in the province, will receive provincial monies from a different funding structure starting next year.

This is the final year for Municipal Sustainabilty Initiative (MSI) funding, both capital and operating in nature. MSI will be replaced in 2023 by te Local Government Fiscal Framework (LGFF).

The UCP states this new funding has “an updated framework that ties funding to provincial revenue changes.”

Rebecca Schultz, minister of municipal affairs, wrote a recent letter to chief elected officials, including chief administrative officers of each municipality, outlining the coming changes to the funding framework for municipalities.

She said the changes “will ensure sustainable funding levels for the province and allow municipalities to plan more effectively for the future.”

The baseline funding amount for the LGFF will be $722 million in 2024-2025. Legislation will be updated so that this amount will increase or decrease by 100 per cent of the percentage change in provincial revenues from three years prior, rather than 50 per cent as currently legislated.

With the change in capital funding, MSI and LGFF will total $2 billion over the next three years with MSI capital funding set at $485 million for 2023-224. The following year, when the new program kicks in, LGFF will provide $722 million with a further $813 million in 2025-2026.

The province will also double MSI operating funds in the 20232024 year from $30 million to $60 million to reflect the increased costs caused by inflation.

The 2023 MSI allocations for local government as shown on the Alberta MSI website (as of March 2023) are the following: The Town of Viking will get capital funding (including BMTG) of $141,533 and operating funding of $145,296 for a total of $286,829.

The Village of Holden is slated to receive $74,985 in capital funding and $99,894 in operating funding for a total of $174,879.

The Village of Irma is slated for $89,862 in capital funding and $84,258 in operating funding, both totalling $174,120.

Beaver County is slated for $1,085,155 in capital funding and $410,658 in operating funding, both totalling $1,495,813.

The Canada Community Building Fund (CCBF) will also be providing $266 million in federal funding for Alberta municipalities and Metis settlements, an increase of $11 million from last year.

The MSI and CCBF

funding is dependent on the 2023 provincial budget passing in the Legislature, and the municipalities’ individual allocations and 2023 funding are subject to ministerial approval.

Schultz stated that once approval was received from the Government of Canada for CCBF funding, she would send letters confirming the MSI and CCBF funding commitments to local governments this spring.

The UCP government will soon be passing Budget 2023 with municipalities to see $2 billion in funding over the next three years.

The government states that the changes being made to funding, which phases out MSI funding after this year, “includes a change to make municipalities full partners.”

The new Local Government Fiscal Framework (LGFF) has baseline capital funding for municipalities of $722 million for the next fiscal year of 20242025.

Schultz provided an explanation by stating: “The 50 per cent revenue index factor was meant to provide stability in municipal funding in a. resourcebased economy.

HEATED CANOLA WANTED We are now buying heated or damaged canola for a fair price

“However, municipalities said that they wanted full partnership, in good times and in bad, and we have listened. This will mean a 12.6 per cent increase in funding for the second year of the new formula.”

The change in the revenue index factor means funding for LGFF will increase to $813 million the following year, for a three year total of $2 billion.

There will also be top up funding so no municipality will receive a year over year

decrease in funding while shifting to the new fiscal framework.

New Two Hills physician Holden 4-H club does well at District public speaking gives hope for doctorstrapped communities Keely Chomik Holden 4-H Beef Club Reporter

Two Hills local and area residents now have improved access to primary care with the recruitment of a new physician.

Dr. Faris Matloub is working from the Two Hill Health Centre and Two Hills Medical Clinic.

With Dr. Matloub’s arrival, Two Hills now has five physicians practising in the community. Dr. Matloub received his medical training in Iraq and Jordan, and most recently worked in Ontario as an assistant in endocrinology. He arrived in Two Hills last fall.

Alberta Health Services (AHS) continues to recruit for physicians across Alberta to meet community needs.

AHS has physician resource planners who are dedicated to identifying and pursuing international and domestic

physician recruitment opportunities.

They work closely with various community partners and organizations, such as local Health Advisory Councils, the Rural Health Professions Action Plan, and independent physician recruitment and retention committees.

Alberta Health Services states that its “current focus is on reducing emergency department wait-times, improving EMS response times, increasing access to surgeries, and improving patient flow.”

“Access to physicians, including Dr. Matloub, is good news for the community of Two Hills,” says Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk, MLA for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville.

“Rural physicians are key to supporting and growing rural Alberta.”

Hello again everyone!

WORD ON THE STREET

Driver fails to stop for school bus with lights flashing March 20, police received a call for assistance from a motorist who had taken a wrong turn and was now stuck on an unplowed rural road. Police attended along with the local towing company and provided assistance.

That same morning, police were also advised of a lost cell phone in Viking. When police followed up with the complainant, they learned the phone had been located.

That night, police received three complaints of a suspicious vehicle in Bruce. Police attended and located the vehicle in question. They spoke with the driver who advised he had recently purchased property there and was just checking out the area. Nothing criminal occurred and the complainants were updated.

On March 21, police received a complaint of a vehicle that failed to stop for a school bus with its stop sign out and lights flashing. The complainant requested the driver receive a warning for this offence. Police spoke with the driver of the offending vehicle and warned her about this matter.

On March 22, police received a complaint of a theft of a license plate in Viking. That afternoon, police received a report of a truck that was involved in a vehicle theft in Holden and was now parked at a residence in Viking. Police attended the residence and noted the license plate that had been reported stolen earlier was displayed in the back window of the suspect truck. A search warrant was executed at this location and the investigation into this incident is ongoing.

Also that day, while on patrol, police observed a vehicle with an obscured license plate parked in Viking.

Investigation revealed the truck had been reported stolen in St. Albert a couple of days earlier. It was seized by police and the investigation is continuing.

On March 23, police attended a residence in Viking to conduct a curfew check. The male in question was not at the

property as required so a warrant for the arrest of Bruce Blyan has been obtained and a charge for Failing to Comply with a Release Order has been laid.

During the early morning hours on March 24, police were called to assist EMS with a sudden death in Viking. Police attended and deemed the death non-suspicious in nature.

Later that day, police received a complaint of harassing communication via a social media site.

Police did not have the grounds to pursue a charge but provided the complainant with advice on privatizing her social media accounts.

That afternoon, police received a notification from Sirius that a vehicle with Sirius radio was activating an SOS button. A location of the vehicle was obtained and police attended and confirmed with the driver that all was fine and the button was malfunctioning.

That night, police again conducted a curfew check at a residence in Viking.

The male in question was not at the property as required and a charge of Failing to Comply with a Release Order is pending and a warrant for his arrest will be sought.

Also that night, while on patrol, police observed a vehicle with a burnt out driver’s light. A traffic stop was conducted. The driver informed police that he did not have a driver’s licence or insurance for the vehicle. The driver is facing three charges under the Traffic Safety Act and the vehicle was towed.

On March 25, police received a complaint of an abandoned truck parked on private property east of Viking. Police attended and called the registered owner who advised the vehicle was supposed to have been towed to a repair shop east of Viking but the acquaintance who had towed it left it in the wrong yard in error.

Police stayed on scene until the vehicle was removed from the property.

That night, police conducted another curfew check at a residence in

Viking. The male in question was not present and a charge of Failing to Comply with a Release Order is pending and a warrant for his arrest will be sought.

On March 26, police located an abandoned vehicle in the ditch east of Viking.

Police were unable to contact the registered owner so had the vehicle towed. Further investigation revealed the vehicle had possibly been stolen in Wetaskiwin earlier that day but police are waiting for confirmation

of this.

That night, police observed a vehicle with a burnt-out licence plate light on Highway 36. A traffic stop was conducted. The driver was unable to produce a driver’s license so was issued a violation ticket for that offence. Checks on the driver also revealed an outstanding warrant held

Tax penalties a concern Patricia Harcourt Editor

Councillor Cindy Lefsrud expressed concern at the March 20 regular council meeting about the current method used to deal with recovery of delinquent property taxes.

CAO Lefsrud explained the process following the meeting: “Currently, the Town of Viking is working with a municipal group called Taxservices. The town reports regularly to this service.”

Clr. Lefsrud asked about residents who end up losing their properties because they can’t afford to pay the taxes. Once a penalty is charged for not paying on time, the amount of debt keeps going up making it even harder for them to pay what is owed.

“So they can’t afford it,” she said, and people can lose their property.

CAO Lefsrud said there are “extreme cases” where “people just walk away,”and stop paying the taxes on the property because they “lose interest” in having property.

But he added that, other than these “extreme cases,” the town can work with those who wish to keep their properties and make agreements for payment of arrears.

“Taxservices identifies individual tax accounts with an outstanding balance,” he said. “Taxservice will initiate and then start discussions around appropriate options/timelines and the paying of outstanding balances.”

However, he added that, “In extreme cases (the tax services will) facilitate a resulting tax sale,” when all other efforts fail.

Viking CAO reports new computer being used for broadcasts - Carena winding down Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Town of Viking has purchased a new laptop to help improve the council meeting broadcasts on You Tube for public viewing.

Interim Chief Administrative Officer Doug Lefsrud stated in a report to council that, “A new laptop has been purchased and IP address set up specifically for YouTube council meeting broadcasting.”

He explained this was done because, “the old laptop did not have the capacity to update and function in the same capacity.”

Technical glitches in the past have made the viewing of a YouTube broadcast of town council meetings difficult for many residents, especially in regards to poor sound quality.

Lefsrud reported on a meeting with the Viking School Parent Council in an update on school activities.

The Grade 6 class visited council chambers to meet with council and discuss council roles and responsibilities.

Lefsrud also met with Dave McReynolds, CSP Municipal Solutions, for talks on his help in developing the town’s 2023 budget and conducting a review with administration.

Work is continuing with McReynolds for streamlining of monthly financial reporting mode development, he said.

Lefsrud also attended the season kickoff meeting for

Meanwhile, facility coordinator John Grimstad reported that “March has been a very steady month to finish off the season, with tournaments on every weekend bringing in approximately 75-100 spectators each weekend.”

However, he said “it also finds us once again shorthanded, but we are getting through it.”

Also, “on the weekend of the 11th of March, we had a young fellow pull the fire alarm causing the fire department to be dispatched.” But he noted that “everyone followed proper protocols.”

Viking delays decision on Claystone proposal Patricia Harcourt A short public hearing was held in Viking Council Chambers March 20 regarding Claystone Waste Ltd.’s proposed material change to its corporate business plan.

No one from the public came to speak for or against the proposal, as members of Viking Council asked few questions of Claystone’s communications representative Anne Ruzicka.

Claystone’s proposal would allow the company to acquire other companies, enter into joint ventures and establish subsidiaries.

In its business plan update and proposed material change, Claystone states: “In order for Claystone to remain an industry leader the company must be able to adapt quickly with an environment that can change rapidly.”

A strategic planning process by Claystone in 2021 to 2022 found that the regional waste facility is currently sustainable and gives the five local shareholding municipalities predictable dividends into the foreseeable future.

But it also warned: “Changing market forces and shifting regulatory frameworks pose risks

and challenges moving forward.”

The strategic planning process concluded that Claystone needs to diversify with the development of new sources of revenue.

The material change “would promote future growth and ensure the sustainability of municipal dividends and Claystone operations in the years to come.”

One change has been a shift by regulatory agencies to a zero waste and emissions standard. This forces the waste management industry to start looking for other ways to operate such as waste to energy and clean energy projects.

“Changing market conditions have resulted in a steady decline in municipal solid waste tonnage coming to the regional landfill,” said the Claystone document.

“This trend is expected to continue as municipal waste diversion efforts intensify in the Edmonton metropolitan area.”

Claystone is a municipally controlled corporation made up of Beaver County, Villages of Ryley and Holden, and the Towns of Tofield and Viking.

A material change under these auspices is defined as: “A change in the business, financing, operations or affairs of the controlled corporation that would be considered important by a reasonable person taking into account the circumstances of the controlled corporation in its entirety.”

The municipalities involved are mandated to inform the public and provide information on the proposal so any resident can review it. The municipalities are further obliged to hold public hearings at regularly scheduled council meetings before council decides on approving or not approving the proposal.

If the shareholder council approves, the proposed material change would be formally considered at Claystone’s annual general meeting later in the spring.

Tofield Council approved the proposal after a March 1 public hearing was held and no objections were heard.

Viking Council has opted to delay a vote on the issue until the regular council meeting in April, stated CAO Doug Lefsrud after the meeting.

‘Prestigious’ cycling event coming through county in June Patricia Harcourt The Canadian National Road Cycling Championships (Elite/Para/Junior) will be held in Edmonton June 23-26.

This is the second year of a three year run for the city.

Beaver and Strathcona counties are included in those events for individual time trial races in late June.

Organizing officials made a presentation at Beaver County’s March 15 Governance and Priorities Committee meeting to explain the parametres and ask for support from the county.

The matter was brought forward the same day to the county council meeting which followed, due to the “time sensitivity” of needing a decision, said CAO Kayleena Spiess.

The roadside cycling competition is an “individual time trial race,” she said, calling it “a very prestigious event.”

She also explained: “Domestic racers participate from throughout Canada,” which will require traffic detours for both Strathcona and Beaver counties.

Beaver County will help communicate the event and what it entails to the public.

Administration recommended that the county work with the organizers of the event to make it a success.

A motion by Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) for council to work with the organizers of that event was passed.

Administration was then directed by council to work with organizers Do North Events on an agreement for the Canadian Road Cycling Championships that will outline Beaver

County’s commitments, expectations, and participation in the June 23 event.

MP Kurek visits Holden, Tofield to talk to constituents John Mather Staff Reporter

Battle River Crowfoot MP Damien Kurek visited Holden and Tofield March 16, taking the opportunity to discuss local issues and listen first hand to the concerns of his constituents.

Kurek discussed energy, carbon tax, firearms and many other topic during his almost two hour meeting with a small crowd of 15 at the Holden Community Hall.

Later that evening in Tofield about 14 people attended and while many of the topics were similar there was a little more importance placed on agriculture.

“Canadians are feeling a lot of pain and not being able to afford some of the essentials of life,” he told the Holden group. “We have to change this.”

He further spoke on how Canada does the best job in the world of reporting on it’s energy emissions as it develops its resource industry, “yet we punish ourselves by letting those who are the major emitters around the world get away. We produce approximately 1.6 per cent of global emissions yet we have the gall to tell Canadians that we are the problem. Why don’t we demand the same things of China or India or even our neighbours to the south that we demand of ourselves?”

One of the audience asked why we sell coal abroad when we can’t use it in Canada any longer.

“I don’t understand why we sell it to China and the rest of the world.”

Kurek said he had seen how we have punished our domestic coal fired generation industry.

“When we face shortages of electricity we import it from the United States and most of that imported electricity os from newly brought online coal fired generators,” he said.

He spoke of the Shaughnessy facility having been built to optimize the burning of coal, but now that coal had been phased out, it had been reconfigured to burn natural gas.

“It’s not efficient burning natural gas,” said Kurek. “It has a worse emissions framework now than it did when it was burning coal.”

“We have to ask how do we do what’s best for our country even as it relates to the environment,” he stated.

“When we shut down our domestic industry we’re not solving the world’s problems.”

He said Alberta can solve its problems, but the Federal government says no because it’s oil.

When discussing firearms, Kurek stated hunters are some of the best conservationists in the country.

Kurek said a change was needed to get a government that respects the needs of the people.

“We need to elect a government that prioritizes the things that are important to the nation … like our economic prosperity … like our national sovereignty.

“On the environment, we see a giant disconnect between activists and the general population,” he said.

“The only success the environment minister can point to in reducing emissions was achieved during the Covid lockdowns. Yet he has the audacity to tell Albertans what we’re doing or not doing, although we have seen our energy industry reduce the emissions in producing a barrel of oil so that we lead the world in this.”

He said too often the government injects itself into what should be a market driven decision.

“We have to let people decide what they want to do,” he said, referring to electric vehicles. “For me an electric vehicle is not feasible and I don’t want to be told what I should be driving.”

He said he would support anyone’s decisions to drive an electric vehicle but he wouldn’t tell people what they must drive.

He touched on the Chinese interference of the last election but he said it wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the election.

“But Justin Trudeau knew about it but because it was in his political interests he did nothing about it.”

Kurek said the fact the public was complaining about this interference now and wanting a public inquiry was

a good thing because the Conservatives had been questioning it for months and getting no answers.

Kurek touched on regional disparities between west and east and also on the rural urban divide.

“I know the reality of what’s out here, but the difference between the main streets of Camrose, Holden, Consort or Oyen and what people see as issues in major urban centres who are maybe two or three generations removed from rural life is a major disconnect and we have to find a way to bridge that divide,” stated Kurek.

“We have to make sure those in the east understand our concerns.”

He told the group his colleagues in rural Quebec were very much like rural Alberta and all were frustrated with the major urban centres.

“But our federation only works if we have a federal government that respects the provinces and we don’t have that right now,” he said. “Part of good governance is knowing what your responsibilities are and staying in your lane.”

He said the Federal government interferes in provincial areas of jurisdiction and stated the development of natural resources is totally a provincial responsibility.

“The solution is to elect a government that is willing to respect the provinces,” he stated.

“We won’t always all agree on everything but we can find ways to bridge our differences. We have different ways of accomplishing our objectives.”

Kurek said when the Conservatives are elected they

would push for all access to tidewater for western energy exports and that could include looking at development around the Port of Churchill, or in the north.

He said the Harper government had built an all weather road to Tuktoyaktuk in NWT where here had only been ice roads and bush.

When Trudeau was elected, resource development in the north was essentially closed leaving the mayor of the community very frustrated.

“We have to be a country that says yes again to resource development,” he added. “If that means someone develops a port in Churchill then I say yes.”

Kurek also expressed support for creating more local industry to make use of local agriculture products and local energy resources rather than shipping them off shore and then importing finished products back.

“We have great potential right across this country,” said Kurek. “And we have to exploit this.

“We just have to try and ensure that policy doesn’t leave rural Canada out.”

He concluded his meeting by saying that when the U.S. president Joe Biden meets with Prime Minister Trudeau in Ottawa this week he would like to see the Keystone pipeline readdressed, but he wasn't holding out much hope Trudeau would bring it up.

“All the jobs in Keystone are in this riding,” Kurek said. “I fully support the project, but the U.S. administration isn’t likely to move on it.”
