Loss of Holden’s Paragon Theatre a ‘tough decision’ County pledges financial support for community’s active and vibrant arts and cultural activities Patricia Harcourt Editor
It’s a difficult time for the community of Holden and area as they work to save their ice arena only to learn that their historic theatre is to be demolished. The community works hard to keep its sports and cultural facilities vibrant and active. But residents are reeling from the news that the ice arena in the Holden Complex is in jeopardy of closing. The county will pay half of the cost of utilities for January, February, and March to help the Holden Ag Society, which owns and operates the Holden Complex. But another decision at the same county council meeting to demolish the historic and beloved Paragon Theatre is hitting the community hard. The theatre has been operating in one aspect or another for decades, and is the home of much historic consequence for the region as an entertainment venue. But county council decided it couldn’t save the building after flooding caused its doors to close last summer. Previously, council asked for advice from officials on the condition of the theatre, and its
The Village of Holden's 70-year-old Paragon Theatre will be demolished due to extensive flood damage sustained last year, causing thousands of dollars in damages.
prognosis going forward. The prognosis was that thousands or millions of dollars would be needed to upgrade the theatre to make it safe for use. A decision was made to demolish the building. Since last summer, the theatre had remained closed and those involved in its programs moved over to the community hall in Holden to hold movies and other programs. Council held discussions over that same period of time. But it was done under the FOIP (Freedom of Information and Access to Privacy) rules, which meant the public was not privy to
the documents shared and discussion at Governance and Priorities Committee meetings. Under FOIP Section 24(1), “Advice from officials - Paragon Theatre,” there were more closed session discussions Feb. 21 at county council before the final decision was made. Earlier, administration had heard the results of an engineering firm’s report, which was hired “to explore options.” The report stated: “It was found that solutions ranged from basic fixes that would repair some critical items but wouldn’t address flood damage, to comprehensive
repairs costing between $800,000 to $1 million.” Council chose the final alternative given in the report, that of demolishing the building after more closed session talk. Aimee Boise, general manager of community services, said the insurance company considered the Paragon building “no longer insurable at replacement value.” She outlined three options for council to consider. They included removing the theatre from its location (in other words, demolishing the building); deferring a decision for one year to allow for public engagement and a needs assessment; or, restoring the
building. This last option would have required a roof restoration to be done at a cost of $400,000, plus a further $1 million to make the building “occupiable,” she said. The recommendation which came out of the FOIP closed session was for the arts and culture centre to be “removed.” Also, a public engagement session should also be undertaken to get some “valuable input” from the community concerning planning and preserving arts and culture in their midst. Another recommendation was for the county to provide some additional financial support
to help carry out those plans. A motion was made by Councillor Lionel Williams “that council direct administration to remove the Paragon Theatre from its current address.” The word “remove” was later replaced in the county highlights with the word “demolish.” Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) questioned the insurance issue of the building: “(It’s) no longer insurable but there is still insurance on this,” he said, noting: “We need to see the insurance documents so we can explain to people.

Judy Acres wins Viking Council seat by acclamation Says will serve only until the next election Patricia Harcourt Editor
Judy Acres has become the new councillor for Viking Council after winning the seat by acclamation. Nominations closed at noon on Tuesday, March 5, and hers was the only name which means she is able to assume the seat without need of a by-election. She is replacing former councillor Clint Nearing, who resigned in December. A by-election originally set for April 5 will no longer need to be held. Acres brings experience to the job having served three previous terms on council for a total of 11 years. Her first term was for three years and the last two
went for four years each. She chose not to run in the last municipal election “because I was having too much fun with my five grandbabies,” ages four through eight years. Acres feared that nobody would put their name in for the council seat nomination, so agreed to take the seat if nobody else applied. “I only submitted my name for this by-election because I was afraid we would not get any applications,” she said. “I think it would be a terrible shame to present like a community that lacked leadership.” So she only allowed her nomination form to be forwarded under two circumstances.
One was “that hell froze over,” and the other was that nobody else applied. “I have agreed to serve only until the next election, and I seriously encourage concerned citizens to consider running for council at our next election,” she said. Her reason for stepping up? “I love this community,” said Acres, who was born and raised here. She vowed to continue serving in whatever capacity she can and is already on too many boards and committees to list here including the Viking Station Art Guild and Community Wellness Society. “I will do my best to sere as town councillor for the next year and a half,” said Acres.

OPINION Guest Editorial: Canadians will feel impact of Trudeau government's oil and gas emissions cap The proposed oil and gas emissions cap could result in $48 billion to $103 billion in cumulative federal government national accounts-based deficits over 11 years (2030 to 2040), according to numbers derived from the Conference Board of Canada’s recent report to Alberta Treasury Board and Finance. In my analysis, I examined the impact of the proposed federal oil and gas emissions cap based on a reference or business as usual (BAU) case (no oil and gas emissions cap) and three oil and gas emissions cap scenarios: a 45 per cent methane reduction scenario, a 60 per cent methane reduction scenario, and a 75 per cent methane reduction scenario, all developed by the Conference Board of Canada. Under the reference or BAU case, without the application of the proposed oil and gas emissions cap, the federal government’s cumulative national account surplus between 2030 and 2040 is $25.7 billion. Under the 75 per cent methane reduction proposed oil and gas emissions cap scenario, the federal government experiences cumulative national account deficits totalling $47.7 billion between 2030 and 2040, a negative $73.4 billion change in the government’s fiscal position from the reference or BAU case. Under the 60 per cent methane reduction proposed oil and gas emissions cap scenario, the federal government experiences cumulative national account deficits totalling $76.7 billion between 2030 and 2040, a negative $102.4 billion change in the government’s fiscal position from the reference or BAU case. And under the 45 per cent methane reduction proposed oil and gas emissions cap scenario, the federal government experiences cumulative national account deficits totalling $102.6 billion between 2030 and 2040, a negative $128.3 billion change in the government’s fiscal position, from the reference or BAU case. While there is widespread recognition that the proposed federal oil and gas emissions cap hurts the Alberta economy, the harm done to the rest of the Canadian economy and the federal government’s own fiscal position is less well known. Cumulative national account-based federal deficits resulting from the application of the oil and gas emissions cap could add up to $48 billion to $103 billion to Canada’s debt (estimated at nearly $1.4 trillion for 2028/29) between 2030 and 2040, increasing debt servicing costs (estimated at over $60 billion for 2028-29. In light of these disturbing deficit and debt numbers, the federal government has a responsibility to immediately release its economic and fiscal impact analyses of the proposed oil and gas emissions on the Canadian and provincial economies and their finances. LENNIE KAPLAN Lennie Kaplan spent over two decades in the public service of Alberta, including as a senior manager in the fiscal and economic policy division of the Ministry of Treasury Board and Finance, where he worked on cross-ministry initiatives evaluating the fiscal and economic impacts of federal climate change policies. He retired from the province’s Canadian Energy Centre at the end of October 2023. © Troy Media

News from the Legislature Jackie Lovely MLA for Camrose Constituency Camrose MLA excited about Alberta’s budget The reason I wanted to become an MLA is to ensure that we have a bright future ahead for the next generation. This is why I’m so excited about our current budget that our President of Treasury Board and Finance Minister, Nate Horner has just announced. It’s not fair that the next generation inherit our debt so we must work on paying it down but still also focus on savings. In this budget, the province is retaining more than $1 billion in investment earnings within the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund. Our government will also deposit a further $2 billion in the Fund, increasing its value to a forecast $25 billion. I’m sure Albertans will appreciate this is a significant investment for the future of our province as we try to focus on long-term savings. Our goal is to grow the Heritage Fund to be a value between $250 billion and $400 billion by the end of 2050. This bundle in our Provincial savings piggy bank will protect future generations, and end our dependency on natural resources. This nest egg will provide certainty and security. As a mother, an auntie, a business person, and a leader in my community, this security is music to my ears and something I hope Albertans will appreciate. Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose

Vialta Lodge Chatter: St. Paddy’s Marion Cottrell You may be familiar with the proverb about this transitional month of March: “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” CNN meteorologist Tom Sater wrote this: “March is a month in which you can experience a lion’s fierce roar of frigid cold, the long white teeth of biting winds that can cut through flesh, and the gentle softness, the warmth of fluffy white fleece, and the innocent kiss of sunshine like a docile newborn lamb.” My Grade 1 teacher added an “if” to the beginning of the above mentioned saying. For many years I have taken note and recorded the first day of March’s entry and her mood of exit. Hmmm, in the minus 20s plus a wind chill, methinks the lion roared March 2024 in! What is your opinion? Vialta Lodge residents and community enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of entertainment on February 13 as Joe Petras
shared his gift of music. Thank you, Joe. The attending audience on Wednesday, February 21 also enjoyed many oldtime favourites as presented by the Central Singers. Thanks to those members. The following day a group of local line dancers came for the second time to provide some listening and viewing pleasure. They even invited audience participation, which was received in good fun. March 5 the Handi Van transported interested residents on a shopping excursion. On St. Patricks Day, March 17, Jim Davis and Friends will be charming us with their music at 1:30 p.m. The following day, Monday March 18, at 1:30 p.m., The Central Singers will be coming. Alberta Clothing will be set up in the Atrium from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. on Monday March 25. An invitation is open to any community members interested in joining residents playing Crib at 6:30 p.m. every first and third Wednesday. The second
and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. you are welcome to join in playing Whist. March is an active birthday month in the Lodge. Norman Lefsrud and Jeanette Norburn both celebrate birthdays on March 5. Dale Morrical’s birthday is on March 10, Carol Hill’s is on March 21, Judy Andreson’s is on March 23, and David Gilchrist’s is on March 31. Happy Birthday and best wishes to each of you.

We invite you to join in the activities and entertainment provided for residents to help you settle into this new phase of your lives. “An Irish Blessing:” May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back.

Free dust control ends for golf course; Colony will pay one mile Patricia Harcourt Two dust control issues and their payment were part of county council’s decisions at the regular meeting Feb. 21. A west end golf course has had its annual free dust control ended after five years at a cost to the county of $1,200 per year. The county has decided to stop applying free dust control on the county service road adjacent to the Tofield Golf Course. The free applications started five years ago when then reeve Jim Kallal made a motion to that effect at council. As well as the free dust control, the motion called for the service road to be graded “at the discretion of the landowner.” Council was also to give consideration for grading to the service road east of the golf course to Range Road 191 in the spring of 2020. At that time, four members of council voted in favour of the motion. Then councillor Kevin Smook (now county reeve) in Division 1 where the golf course is located voted against it. Councillors in 2019 voting in favour were: Gene Hrabec (Division 3), Barry Bruce (Division 4) and Dale Pederson (Division 5), along with Kallal in Division 2.
The golf course asked for the dust control on the basis that the county’s service road was inundating the business with tremendous amounts of dust. The golf course felt the county should provide the dust control free of charge as it was the county road creating the issue. Five years later, however, the same three councillors voted to end the free dust control upon recommendation by administration. The motion by Pederson passed unanimously at the Feb. 21 meeting, including new councillor Lionel Williams. Williams replaced Kallal in Division 2 after Kallal chose not to run in the last municipal election. In making his motion, Pederson said the last five years of applications should still be effective in keeping the dust down on the service road entrance for at least this year. General Manager of Infrastructure Dan Blackie spoke to end the free dust control, pointing out that it cost the county $1,200 for each of the last five years. The landowner will be notified of the decision, he said, and will have until April 5 to apply through the Dust Control Program for a paid application. As well, the Viking Hutterite Colony’s request to have Terra-Cem applied to a county road running to the colony entrance has been granted - with the pay-
ment of an improvement tax by the Colony. Beaver County Council agreed to authorize administration to commence the Local Improvement Tax process with the colony for a Terra-Cem project on Range Road 120 from Twp. Rd. 490 north for one mile to the colony entrance. The project will be undertaken this year, and hitches a ride with another county project taking place in the vicinity. “It’s considered long term dust control,” said Blackie, at the Feb. 21 regular meeting of council. “The colony pays 100 per cent of the product,” he said of the agreement, and the county pays for the labour and equipment. He added that “the colony wants to cost share,” noting: “The colony has seven years to pay (the improvement tax) off…I got it in writing.” The project “is just a matter of going North from (the county’s) original work site,” he said, regarding roadwork already taking place this year in that area. “Administration has provided a rough estimate based on 2023 pricing with a modest margin for inflation costs,” he states, in his report to council. “The Viking Colony has responded in writing that they would like to proceed with the project and will pay over seven years as a Local Improvement Tax,” he said.

Tofield Golden Club requests Pink Shirt Day funding for expansion project Patricia Harcourt Beaver County needs more information about the Tofield Golden Club’s expansion project before deciding on a funding request from the club. The club is marking its 50th anniversary in 2025, and wants to expand the building it uses which is located across the street from the Tofield Municipal Office and Library. Aimee Boese, general manager of community services for Beaver County, outlined the club’s objective. She said the club “is seeking to expand the current building to add amenities which will attract newly retired seniors with many more opportunities for social interaction, such as pickle ball, workshops, and a stage for arts and entertainment.” While 20 per cent of the club’s membership which is open to people over the age of 50 - is from the county, “It is hoped that with increased space and opportunities that number will rise,” she said. The club wants to build a new addition to their existing space, about 55 ft. by 100 ft., with a mezzanine for crafts and administrative offices. The project’s estimated cost is $1.1 million to $1.5 million, and the club wants it started in the spring and completed a year later in time for the anniversary year. In a letter to the county, Golden Club Treasurer Jim Robichaud stated: “We have the full support of our community behind us as demonstrated in a recent member meeting where those present voted 100 per cent in favour of moving ahead.” Boese stated that the club has not asked for any specific amount financially, but hopes
that the county will match the Town of Tofield’s contributions. The town has donated the land, valued at $230,000, for a dollar. A separate contribution by the town of $40,000 was made to help with design work for the project. One design element mentioned in the letter was to convert the club’s coffee room into a “60s themed retro design,” and another was to make the area that once housed the fire station into a small engine repair and wood working shop. Said Robichaud: “Tofield Mayor Deb Dueck and town council are working with us and have passed motions for the current building and land to be sold to the Golden Club for one dollar.” Boese posed some questions for council to consider before deciding on a request amount. The county should determine if this is a one-time request only, if there are other ways to support
the membership of county seniors, and if the expansion fits into any long-term strategic plans for either the town or the county. Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) felt the officials from the club should come to the county’s Governance and Priorities Committee meeting, “to share their concept with us.” He added: “I see meat in the project in principle but we lack details for council to consider.” But Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) worried about operational expenses going forward. He also wondered if buildings already in existence shouldn’t be utilized more rather than adding to them. “We have lots of facilities we are trying to keep running,” he said. Hrabec is the chair of the Beaver Foundation, which operates the government-run housing for seniors in the county. The foundation is having trouble filling its vacancies in two or three facil-

ities in the county. Other factors that might affect the project include the possibility of a new community centre being built in Tofield, he said. “We need to know how many people they have talked to, other groups, etc.” said Hrabec, concerning the seniors club project. Smook agreed: “We could ask them to a future meeting.” A motion was passed to follow the recommendation for administration to gather additional information about the Tofield Golden Club expansion project, including detailed financial planning, and provide a report at a future council meeting. Boese said “there can be an opportunity to review the shared services agreement (with the club) down the road.”

Paragon Theatre Continued from Cover
Boese replied: “The insurance company can provide cash value but needs to do a building evaluation,” due to the deterioration after July’s flood. “It still has insurance but we need to motion council’s decision,” she said, regarding the building’s demolition. Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) also wanted to see the documents Hrabec requested, “but it won’t stop me from making a decision,” he said. “This needs to be put out to the public so they can see what we see. “The writing’s on the wall,” he said. “The Paragon Theatre building will be gone…But the concept (of it) will live on.” Hrabec also expressed concern on preserving “all that memorabilia in the building. How do we. get that out?” he said, referring to the vintage theatre’s seats, lighting and posters. He pointed out that, “right now, there’s no access” to the building to be able to remove this memorabilia. While Boese said that items, such as the wood used to build the theatre’s stage, could be saved, she cautioned: ”No one should enter the building for risk and liability purposes.” Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Kayleena Spiess said the county has had “multiple conversations with the insurance company back and forth.” She said the insurance company “doesn’t want (the county) to continue to put in insurance claims,” and “are calling the building end of life.” She added: “It’s administration’s job to do the legwork for council and make a recommendation.” At that, council immediately passed
Williams’ motion unanimously to demolish the theatre building. Council then passed another motion by Hrabec regarding helping the community going forward to continue its programs once put on by the organizers at the theatre. Administration was directed to begin planning and implementing the two options as outlined in the business plan. That included a public engagement aspect to discuss options for the future of arts in the community. Plus, provide additional funding to support the existing arts and culture that has been established. Hrabec called the motion to demolish the historic Paragon building“a tough decision that had to be taken on the facility.” He added that they must also make sure not to lose all the memorabilia and other items inside that building before it is destroyed.

That evening, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle on Highway 14. Investigation revealed the vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle collision earlier that day. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre issued a new fraud alert, victims are receiving text messages claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. The message includes the victim’s full name and SIN and asks that a payment be sent to a phone number. Remember that the Canada Revenue Agency will never ask for a payment via text message. If you have been part of a breach or a
victim of identity theft, fraudsters will use the information as a tool to steal your money. Police would like to remind the public that unfortunately, there are many fraudsters out there actively trying to scam both money and personal information from you.

Alberta’s health spending climbs to $26 billion Brett McKay Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
With an eye on "refocusing Alberta's health care system," the Alberta provincial budget for 2024 is adding $1.1 billion in additional health spending above previous budget forecasts, although spending is not keeping up with inflation and population growth. The budget increase brings the total health operating expense to $26.2 billion in 2024, and includes major allocations for capital projects, primary care, and organizational restructuring. Health expenses are expected to rise 2.5 per cent in each of the following two years to reach $27.5 billion by 2026. The increase in operating costs will be partially offset by $997 million in new federal transfers from two bilateral agreements. Spending won't keep up with population growth and inflation in
the province, which hit 8.7 per cent in 2022-23 and 7.4 per cent in 202324. Health care operating spending will see a 4.4 per cent boost compared to last February’s budget, bringing it to $26.2 billion. “In Budget 2024, Alberta’s government is continuing to prioritize the delivery of high-quality, reliable health services across the province. This year’s record investment of $26.2 billion in health care will help us continue toward our goals of improving primary health care, adding capacity, reducing wait times, growing the workforce and advancing the Healthcare Action Plan,” Health Minister Adriana LaGrange said in a news release. About $3.6 billion of the capital spending is dedicated to health care-related projects like hospital upgrades, development of mental health facilities, and continuing care ex-
pansions. The largest capital allotment, $810 million, will go to the redevelopment and expansion of the Red Deer regional hospital. The construction of a new hospital in the Town of Beaver Lodge, which received $25 million in funding, is expected to begin later this year. The province has also put $35 million towards acquiring new ambulances and other equipment for emergency medical services. A total of $20 million, of which $17 million is new funding, will go to planning a new standalone Stollery Children's hospital in Edmonton. At a news event in Edmonton earlier this week, LaGrange said there was no timeline for the completion of the project. “A level of planning will now go into the next stage where it really starts to look at where will this facility go. What is going to be incorporated within the walls of that facility.
