U13 Gas Kings honour veterans on Remembrance Day Jeff Bird The Skully’s Oilfield U13 Gas Kings took to the ice for their final pre-season game of the year. The evening began with a pre-game ceremony in honour of Remembrance Day and the soldiers that fought so bravely for our country. Gas Kings announcer Ryan Doucette introduced Becky Hopkins to represent the Viking Legion and drop the puck for the ceremonial face-off. Jeff Bird said a prayer for the brave men and women who have served this country. This was followed by a moment of silence and the playing of “O’ Canada.” The Gas Kings had a slow start to the game with Kitscoty jumping out to a 4-1 lead. But, with Vern the Viking in attendance riling up the home crowd, the Gas Kings would wake up and score 5 unanswered goals by the middle of the third period to take a 6-4 lead. Kitscoty would continue to pressure the home team until the last minute and were able to tie the
game up resulting in a 6-6 final. This would be the last game of tiering leaving the Kings with a 3-31 record in the pre-season. The NEAHL league will now create divisions for the start of the regular season which will begin this coming weekend.
Canada Post’s union CUPW delivered 72 hour notice of job action on Tuesday morning, November 12. The postal union announced its intent to strike and, if followed through with, would go into effect as early as Friday morning. At press time, CUPW representatives commented that the national executive board has yet to decide if a job action will occur at the 72 hour deadline. It is dependent, they say, on if ensuing talks with Canada Post are productive. “After almost a year of bargaining, despite our best efforts, the parties remain far apart on many issues,” the union said in statement. According to some union employees on social media, but unconfirmed at press time, Canada Post may have countered with a notice of its own; a lockout that could also take effect if the strike does not. The CUPW strike would primarily impact mail and package delivery during the ever-important Christmas season, while also potentially leading to closures of larger post offices in urban centres. There is no confirmation yet if potential strikes would be rotating, or Canadawide. In terms of local delivery, local post office employees have ensured Caribou Publishing that their offices are expected to remain operational, and weekly newspapers will be put in post office boxes as usual as long as they are delivered to each individual post office, which is the current plan. It is not known fully how this could affect rural mail, as it was advised by a source that while some may be able to pick up their mail at their nearest town’s post office, others may not. In the event of lapsed mail coverage, plans are being put in place by The Weekly Review and Caribou Publishing to have newspaper pick up locations around the county where rural readers can still grab a local newspaper. This will begin with the November 20 edition, unless the two sides come to an agreement. Online e-editions of the newspaper will also be available free of charge for any and all readers affected by a work stoppage. This ensures that advertisers will benefit from as many readers as possible, and likely even more than usual, as we are committed to remaining the top source of local news and advertising in our region during any disruption. For further updates or more clarity on the situation, please check out The Weekly Review’s website for more details in the days leading up to the November 20 edition.

Heartfelt words of remembrance echo across crowded hall Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Viking Branch #81 of the Royal Canadian Legion held its annual Remembrance Day ceremony in the community hall Monday. The large hall was filled with people who came to pay their respects, along with the Legion members, to those who didn’t come back from the two great wars and other conflicts that took the lives of Canadians overseas. Legion President Mick Hafso read out the Honour Roll for local war dead, 25 in all, with last names that still prevail among relatives who live in the community. The sergeant-at-arms marched in the Colour Party composed of RCMP officers in red serge and Legion members. After depositing the Colours, everyone stood to sing “O’ Canada.” Guest Mac McKie followed with a poetic reading on the tragedy of a vet dying without ever being recognized for his contribution to
the world,entitled “A Vet Died Today.” The “Call to Worship” came from Pastor Chris Koch of the Golden Valley Lutheran Church calling for individuals to “do justice and to love kindness.” Pastor Steven TeVelde of the Viking Alliance Church gave the Opening Prayer,” calling on everyone “to remember all who have served and those who continue to serve in our armed forces, especially those who were injured and have died in their service.” Brian Rozmahel of the Holy Heart of Mary Catholic Church led those present in a hymn, “Oh God Our Help in Ages Past,” and gave several scripture readings from Matthew before providing his thoughts on their meaning in “The Meditation.” “Today we don’t come to celebrate,” he said. “We come together to remember the fallen.” Rozmahel wished for “a silent prayer that echoes across time,” so the sacrifices made “will help us find a better way.” Among the fallen and the broken are
those who “simply got into uniform and did what was asked.” He recalled asking several local veterans a quarter century ago to speak to his youth group and share their stories. What he learned was that “war is not a glorious affair,” but full of hardships, suffering and great loss. “There are no greater advocates for peace than a soldier,” he said, referring to the poem “In Flanders Fields.” In the poem, written by John McRae. people are asked not to break faith with the war dead but to “take up our quarrel with the foe.” “Jesus asked us to love our enemies,” he said, “Do we work for peace? Our veterans await our response.” The most solemn part of the Remembrance Day service began with President Hafso performing “The Act of Remembrance,” reading the Honour Roll, while community members deposited wreaths. The haunting sounds of “The Last Post” filled the room, followed by two minutes of silence. Then Reveille ends the
silence and “The Litany” is read with everyone responding: “At the going down of the sun, and in the morning - We will remember them.” Following the hymn “Great is thy Faithfulness,” Pastor Chris read out “Prayers of the Faithful” and “The Lord’s Prayer,” before offering the Benediction. Warrant Officer Jeremy Doherty from CFB Wainwright spoke for the second year at the service, offering insight into his two tours of duty in Afghanistan and his most recent training tour - a non combat mission - to Latva where Ukrainian soldiers are prepared for their fight to remove Russian invaders from Ukraine. In 2007, Doherty lost three friends in Afghanistan. “It hits home for me every November 11…War is not fun, it is a very stark reminder of what happens when politicians don’t get along.” With the conclusion of the program, Debbie White, with help from Penny Hammer, gave out the student awards for the Legion’s Poster, Poem and Essay contest.

Viking School Remembrance Day ceremony
Patricia Harcourt Editor
Viking School held its Remembrance Day program on Friday, November 8, with the help of Legion and RCMP members. Mistress of Ceremonies Shelby Roth told the assembly: “For our veterans and current members of the Canadian Armed Forces, today can be remembered as the longest, darkest, brightest, loudest, quietist and bravest day of the year “ The dramatic statement emphasized the fact that 2.3 million Canadians have served their country over its history and, of these, 118,000 have died while doing so. Sergeant Matthew Hunt of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry stationed at CFB Wainwright spoke to the assembly about his career in the armed forces. He enlisted in 2006 and, since then, has completed two tours in Afghanistan. In Poland he met his future wife and the couple have two children. After that, he was stationed at CFB Wainwright. “I love small town Alberta,” he said, but he added: “Being a member of the military can be an extremely difficult job,” of being responsible for peace and security matters. And he was not there “to glorify conflict in any way,” he said. But he cited
instances when the Canadian forces did courageous acts, including the 44,000 who died during the D-Day invasion including at Juno Beach on June 6, 1944. D-Day served to break Hitler’s grip on the Normandy coastline and started the final fight to defeat the Nazis a year later. The ceremony also celebrated Indigenous Veterans Day on that particular Friday, and students heard that 12,000 Indigenous volunteers were part of the Canadian armed forces. To wear the uniform many had to learn a new language, adjust to cultural differences and travel far away from their homelands. Principal Tracy Doerksen and Grade 12 student Barrett Lang participated in the solemn Act of Remembrance honouring war dead from Canada. Everyone then replied “We will remember them.” The Grade 4 class then recited the poem “In Flanders Fields,” by John McRae. Wreaths were laid at the front of the assembly by the stage before “The Last Post” rang out before falling silent. Reveille sounded the end of the moment of silence. “As we leave this ceremony, may we continue to honour the sacrifices of those who have served, not just today but every day, and strive to carry forward the legacy of our veterans,” said Roth, “a future built on peace, understanding and unity.”

Holden Council changes tax penalty bylaw to ease into penalties Kari Janzen Staff Reporter
Holden Village Council has changed their tax payment and penalties bylaw to introduce penalties gradually, instead of an 18 per cent charge being added shortly following the payment deadline. Council chose to review the bylaw after a resident wrote a letter suggesting council do so, as a result of him suffering the 18 per cent penalty because he forgot to pay his taxes on time. “A fee for less than one week (late) at 18 per cent should not be applied,” the resident said, and included a comparison of the Town of Tofield’s penalty bylaw, as well as Beaver County’s and the Town of Westlock’s. The resident did not request his fee be waived, but that council reconsider the penalties for non-payment of property taxes. “In this situation,” Chief Administrative Officer Rosemary Offrey said, “this gentleman came in and he talked about the penalties, but he never did ask
Viking Royal Purple report as December approaches Dawn Hodgins Ten members of Viking Royal Purple met on November 3 for our regular monthly meeting. We are excited about the Festival of Trees at the Carena. Set up is December 1 in the lobby. We have two non plug in spots left. We will be asking the public for donations to the Food Bank. Let’s fill their shelves for the winter! Dawn Hodgins attended the school awards and our cash award was presented to Heather Lawes for all her volunteer time. Nice to see young people working in the school and community assisting others. We are also planning our Royal Purple 75th anniversary on January 28 with a community luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Admission is by a donation of items to the food bank. We will be contacting past members who live locally to join us, too. Many of these ladies contributed many years of volunteer service to this community. Once an RP member always an RP member! Ladies Holly Perley, Jeanne Congdon and Ronna Smith braved a really chilly Halloween afternoon and handed out 100 treat bags to the little ghosts and goblins on Main Street. It was a very fun project! This month we donated $100 to the Viking school community calendar project. The snow finally has hit us. But what a wonderful long fall we have had. Anyone notice the millions of white geese that are flying overhead? What a beautiful sight. Just like diamonds in the blue skies!
about getting a reversal or anything like that. He just talked about the bylaw itself,” she said. At the regular meeting on September 16, Mayor Tyler Beckett agreed with the resident that the bylaw should be reviewed. “I would like to look at maybe more of a graduated penalty system, similar to what Tofield’s got. We can keep our dates, but why don't we look at giving the nudge, then use the hammer, instead of the 18 per cent right away,” he said. The revised bylaw was passed at the last council
meeting on October 21 that, effective January 2025, a five per cent penalty will be added on all current taxes remaining unpaid 70 days after the date of mailing the tax notice, which is mailed in June every year. The next charge will occur 100 days after the tax notice has been mailed, at 12 per cent. An 18 per cent charge will be added as a penalty on any, current and arrears, taxes remaining unpaid on December 31. “it's a little bit less of a blow to people, a nudge rather than a slapping with a stick. Just kind of a friendly reminder first,” Beckett said.
Notice of application to be filed for approval of the natural gas distribution franchise agreement between the Town of Viking and ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. Application summary The Alberta Utilities Commission expects to receive an application from ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. to approve the existing current and valid natural gas distribution franchise agreement with the Town of Viking. This application for approval is required due to changes made by the Utilities Affordability Statutes Amendment Act, 2024, to various statutes governing franchise agreements. The current franchise agreement, which took effect in December of 2015, grants ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. the exclusive right to deliver natural gas to the residents of Town of Viking for approximately 12 years. No changes to the franchise agreement or to the franchise fee rate rider percentage are being made as part of this application. The franchise fee rate rider percentage will remain at its current rate, which is 21.51%. Including linear taxes, the resulting average monthly franchise fee for an average residential customer will remain the same at approximately $13.27. The franchise fee is calculated based on distribution charges. An average residential customer uses about 105 gigajoules per year. You may send your concerns about, objections to, or support for the application in writing to the Town of Viking or to ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. on or before November 20, 2024 at: Town of Viking, Doug Lefsrud, 5120 – 45 Street, P.O.

Irma loses a close one against Delburne at home Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter
The East Central Senior Hockey League had a busy weekend of games. The Irma Aces hosted the Delburne Outlaws on the weekend,. Delburne had a strong first period, with two straight goals mid period that put them ahead 2-0 going into the second. Irma got on the board early in the second, with a goal from Kyler Erickson, assisted by Mason Holt, then a second less than a minute later, this time from Taylor Schubada, from Ryan Syminton and Denver Prior, to make it 2-2. Delburne answered a couple of minutes later to
pull ahead again, 3-2, when Tyler Ganie scored one for Irma, from Schubada and Symington to tie things up. A power play goal from the Outlaws put the score at 4-3 heading into the final period. Mason Holt scored on a power play for the Aces, from Dylan Laurenceson and Justin Ganie to tie it 4-4. Delburne scored again to go ahead 5-4 before Schubada scored in the last minute of the game, from Symington, to tie it 5-5, taking it to a shootout. The Outlaws won the shootout to take the game 6-5. The league standings reflect some teams with just two games played,
while others have played five games, so might not be a true reflection, but the Oyen Eagles, with a 3-0-0 record, are tied for first with the Hughenden Jets with a 3-1-0. Provost has five points in third, at 2-0-1. Sedgewick, Irma, Stettler, and Delburne all have four points, but Irma and Sedgewick have only played three games, while Stettler sits
at four and Delburne at five. Wainwright has only played two games, with a win and a lost, and is tied at two points with Forestburg, with a win and two losses. Coronation is still seeking their first win. There are lots of games coming up on the weekend, with Irma on the road to Castor, where they will take on the Royals.

$6,106
This is Ray and Sherri, owners of Ray Arc Welding in Camrose. Ray became a credit union member at 18 when he got a loan to buy his first car – a shiny new Trans Am. Last year, Ray and Sherri got a $6,106 profit shares cash payout from Vision. They put their share towards a new CNC machine for the business, which lets them precisely cut everything from signs to home décor using computer-controlled tools. It’s good for business, says Ray.

Holden preschoolers get tour of local fire department Kari Janzen Children who attend Holden Little Hands Preschool, which operates out of Holden Rural Academy, had the opportunity to tour a Holden Fire Department fire truck to try on some gear, and spray some water. “We’re happy that we're able to work with the preschool and come down to talk about fire safety with the kids,” Assistant Fire Chief Justin Ewasiuk said. “We showed them some of the equipment we use, they sprayed some water, and we showed them the truck. We also put together gift bags with colouring books, and told them about escape plans and what they need to do if there is a fire,” he said. Preschool director Tammy Hill post-
ed on social media, thanking the department for teaching the kids. “We had a visit from our very own local heroes at the Holden Fire Department, thank you to Justin and Dave (Marko) for making it such a great experience. We learned that you need to check your smoke alarms and make sure they are working, have an escape plan and meet up place that everyone knows about, make sure your little ones know about what to do in case of a fire, and thank a fireman for their service and commitment. “We were told today they lug around at least 60 pounds of equipment when putting out fires, and risking their lives. I know I couldn't do it so thank you to all of you especially the ones who are volunteers in our rural communities,” Hill said.

The convention delegates at the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA) chose a new executive at their convention last week. New leadership and Board of Directors was announced on November 7 after voting took place the previous day. The RMA elected a new president, vice president and a district director for its Board of Directors “to advance RMA’s mission and advocate for rural municipalities.” Kara Westerlund, a councillor of Brazeau County, was elected President, at the annual fall convention. She has served as the RMA’s Voce-President since 2017. RMA states that she “brings extensive experience and a strong commitment to advocating for Alberta’s rural municipalities. “As President, she will advance the RMA’s vision of strengthening rural Alberta through effective advocacy and ensure rural voices are heard and addressed,” stated the announcement of her election.
Westerlund stated: “I am truly excited to step into this position and guide the RMA forward. We have important work to do but together we are ready to tackle the challenges ahead. “The solutions are here within our board, among rural elected officials, our administration and the dedicated team at the RMA and their group of companies.” She concluded: “By working together we will move those solutions forward and make a meaningful impact for rural Alberta.” Westerlund succeeded Paul McLaughlin who was President since 2020. “Kara is going to be an outstanding leader,” he said. calling her “a true ally of rural Alberta.” He noted she was also the first female RMA President. She was one of five contenders for the top position, including Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec of Beaver County, Vulcan County Reeve Jason Schneider, M.D. of Bonnyville Councillor Ben Fadeyl, and Woodlands County Councillor John Burrows.

WORD ON THE STREET Viking RCMP charge male dangerously discharging weapon at Lake Thomas On November 6, members responded to a complaint of gunshots near Lake Thomas. When members arrived, they located a vehicle in the field. The vehicle proceeded to accelerate towards police vehicles before coming to an abrupt stop. Due to the nature of the complaint a high risk take down was completed. A 46-year-old male was taken into police custody. Investigation determined the male was discharging his firearm in the dark. The male stated he was testing out his rifle. A firearm was located on the front passenger seat along with several empty casings and alcohol. The male is facing charges of possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose, careless use of a firearm, unsafe store of a firearm and transporting liquor in a vehicle when liquor is within easy access of an occupant. He will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court at a later date. On November 7, police received a complaint of a truck with an unsafe load. The complainant advised of a truck travelling on Highway 14 and the load appeared to have shifted looking like it may fall off. Members were unable to locate the vehicle. That afternoon, police received information of an occupant driving without a driver’s licence. The subject was not located. On November 9, police received a complaint of a domestic dispute near Kinsella. Police attended and spoke with the victim and learned the male in question was inside the residence, police entered the residence and arrested the male. He was released from police custody with conditions and will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court at a later date. He will be facing charges of assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats against a person. That evening, police received a request to check on the wellbeing of a resident in Viking as she had concerns for his mental health. Police attended and spoke with the person in question but did not have the grounds to apprehend him at this time. The complainant was updated. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre would like to warn Canadians about a new variation of the bank investigator scam. Fraudsters are impersonating financial institutions and are claiming that the victim’s bank account has been compromised. Fraudsters will convince victims that in order to protect their account until a new debit card is issued, the victim must send an Interac e-transfer transaction to their own cellphone number. The suspect will instruct the victim on the steps required to add themselves as a payee and to increase their daily Interac etransfer limit to $10,000 (note that the
maximum amount that a sender may send through the Interac e-transfer network may vary depending on the sender’s financial institution. Interac will automatically refuse to complete any payment by a sender above the limit established by the financial institution). The suspect provides the e-transfer question and answer that the victim must use for the transfer. Once the victim sends the Interac e-transfer transaction to their own cellphone number, suspects will ask the victim for a “code” which is the last portion of the Interac e-transfer URL/link received. If the victim provides the URL, suspects will have the ability to deposit the funds into their own account. In some cases, suspects are able to provide some of the victim’s personal information which might include name, date of birth, phone number, address and debit card number to make the call seem legitimate. Additionally, suspects are spoofing financial institution phone numbers or are providing fraudulent call-back phone numbers which impersonate the financial institution. Other variations of the bank investigator scam: 1.) Victims receive an automated phone call claiming to be their financial institution, law enforcement or, in some cases, Amazon advising that there have been fraudulent transactions in their account. Fraudsters will request access to the victims’ computer to continue the “investigation.” Victims are then shown a fraudulent transaction on their online bank account. The suspects state that they want the victims' help in an ongoing “investigation” against the criminals who stole their money and request that the victims send funds as part of the “investigation.” In some cases, fraudsters will add the victim as a “payee” with a fraudulent email address and advise that the victim must transfer a large amount of money in order to protect their account. The fraudsters will convince the victim that they have added funds to the victim’s account but, in reality, the funds were transferred from their line of credit or savings account. 2.) Suspects may have the victims debit card number and password, but cannot access the victim’s account due to multi-factor authentication protection on their account. Suspects then proceed to contact the victim claiming to be their financial institution and will advise the victim that they must provide a code they receive via text message or email in order to confirm their identity. The code the victim provides is the multi-factor authentication code which gives the suspects full access to
their bank account. Warning Signs – How to Protect Yourself • Criminals use Call-Spoofing to mislead victims. Do not assume that phone numbers appearing on your call display are accurate. • If you get an incoming call claiming to be from your financial institution, advise the caller that you will call them back. End the call and dial the number on the back of your bank debit card from a different phone if possible or wait 10 minutes before making the outgoing call. • Never provide details of links or URL’s received via text message or email to fraudsters. • Don’t share codes received via text message or email with anyone. In most cases, these are multifactor authentication codes that will give fraudsters access to your account. • Fraudsters will often provide the first 4 to 6 numbers of your debit or credit card. Remember that these numbers
are used to identify the card issuer and are known as the Bank Identifier Number (BIN). Most debit and credit card numbers issued by specific financial institutions begin with the same 4 to 6 numbers. • If your personal information has been compromised in the past through a breach or a phishing message, remember that the information can be used as a tool to make the communication appear legitimate. • Never provide remote access to your computer. • Financial institutions or online merchants will never request transferring funds to an external account for security reasons. • Financial institutions or police will never request you to turn over your bank card nor attend your residence to pick up your bank card. • Enabling Auto-Deposits for Interac etransfers provides additional layer of security Viking RCMP

Viking councillors provide reports on committees Patricia Harcourt Editor
Viking Council reports were given by councillors during the October meeting, providing updates on various issues. Councillor Cindy Lefsrud said that the Beaver Emergency Services Commission was continuing to work on a review of billing for fire calls, with a focus on residential fire calls. Councillor Judy Acres said the physician recruitment and retention committee would be welcoming between 3040 students from the University of Calgary Medical School into the Viking Community for a weekend visit, likely next March. The visit is designed to introduce students to rural medical practice combined with what a rural community can offer a new physician ready to start their careers. A new date for the Viking Career Fair has been set for February 20 next year, to be held at the Viking School. The fair was postponed from this fall and put forward to take place in the New Year. Viking is within the catchment area for Wainwright’s new Nursing School, and Acres encouraged anyone wanting to become a nurse to take their training in Wainwright. Mayor James Buttner told council he has become the new chair of the Beaver Regional Partnership organization. The BRP is composed of representatives from administration and councils from the county, two towns and two villages within the county. Buttner also reported he attended “the final meeting” of the Beaver County Victim Services organization, which is now defunct and replaced by the Eastern Alberta Regional Victim Services Society. However, the BCVS will meet again in january to determine if the organi-
zation has any role to play in future. “If there are any gaps (in service in the new VS) we can see about filling
them,” he said. Councillor Dana Ewashko told council of the “generous donation” from donor Lane
Carrington, which allowed for the purchase of 450 new chairs for the Viking Community Hall. The hall is operated by
the Viking Ag Society. Ewashko also spoke of the upcoming “Dueling Pianos’ entertainment including supper and
silent auction evening that will be hosted by the Viking Ag Society on November 23 in the community hall.

MEMORIAL MEMORIAL Willam P. Lewis November 16, 1938 November 19, 2004 The Lord spoke to the heavy hearts that stood by his bed, “Your sadness pains me deeply and I know you’ll miss this man, But it’s true, what you’ve been hearing, Heaven is a real place. The emptiness his parting left that seeps into your bones, And draw on it to ease your pain, For he is not alone. You see his friends are up here and all his loved ones, too. ‘Cause it wouldn’t be a heaven withou each one of you.” Lovingly Remembered by, MaryAnn & Scott Charlotte, Scott, & Family Darren, Jodi, & Kade

IRMA NEWS By Marjorie Lawson
Thank you to the volunteers who organized this year’s Remembrance Day
service. Dana and Kristen Olsen provided a clear picture of the role that military families have in supporting service members. Our community was very saddened to hear of the passing of Rick Burton, son of Bob and Pat, and sister to Shari. He passed away suddenly November 4 at the age of 54. He is survived by his wife, Tracy, son Ryan and daughter Shelby and extended family. A service of remem-
brance will take place at City Lights Church in Camrose on Friday, November 15. Our condolences go out to all the family. The United Church is hosting its annual fall supper beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 17 in the school gymnasium. Family and friends gathered in Wainwright on Saturday to help Joan Goddard celebrate her 90th birthday.
