Kurek wins Battle River-Crowfoot
Trudeau, Liberals to form minority Federal government
Moush John Staff Reporter
Damien Kurek will be representing Battle RiverCrowfoot as he swept his riding in the federal election 2019 with 52,497 votes. The other contestants didn’t come close with not much of a tally to show. Out of the 247 (of 248) polls reported at the time of press, the numbers were as follows. NDP Natasha Fryzuk – 3,089; Liberal Dianne Clarke – 2,485; Green Geordie Nelson – 1,750; People’s Party David Michaud – 1,583. Deemed to be one of the closest elections in recent years, nationally the Liberals took 157 seats, followed by Conservatives at 121. With neither party getting a majority, Liberals will form a minority government after finding the right political ally. Kurek, who addressed his supporters from the Norsemen Inn in Camrose, said, “It is an honour to be elected with a strong mandate, and I look forward to being able to serve the people of Battle RiverCrowfoot in Parliament. “I will continue to make sure that the things I talked about on the campaign continue to be talked about, that common-sense Conservative ideas and principles of good governance are brought forward; and I intend to get to work, and have already started.” With the province having strong Conservative support, Kurek’s win isn’t unprecedented, but what made him stand out was the way he handled his campaign, and his approach to some of the burning issues of the day. “It is clear that the Liberals’ reduced mandate leaves some very serious questions that need to be asked,” Kurek says. “From the Prime Minister’s con-
duct to the way he has pitted Canadians against each other for political gain.” For Kurek, an MP needs to work hard for their constituents and he said that his constituents could count on him to ensure that Battle River-Crowfoot’s interests are well represented, and he would do so with respect for all involved. “And specifically with regard to a Conservative provincial government, the federal government’s job is to work with their provincial counterparts, regardless as to whether or not they agree, this is a foundational principle of good governance.” He added, “East Central Alberta can be a part of the solution to the major challenges we face as a country. And I intend to be a tireless advocate of our people, of agriculture and energy, and the common-sense principles that we have.” Kurek explained that pipelines are not just a concern for Albertans, but can be a Canadian solution to many of the challenges we all face, and he wants to get that message heard and conveyed. “Every day of the campaign I heard how frustrated constituents are with the antics of the Trudeau Liberal government, and the results last night reflect a significantly reduced mandate; there are serious questions that have to be asked and answered by Liberals,” Kurek says. “I will do what I can to ensure that constituents of Battle River-Crowfoot, and all Canadians, get the answers they deserve. “Further, we have some serious challenges facing our agricultural industry – from trade concerns to attacks by special interests, I plan to stand up for the Canadian and the agricultural industry.” On Election Night, Kurek thanked his family and
supporters for standing by him: “Firstly, thank you to my wife and life partner Danielle and our two kids, Matthew and Emerson; they’ve been tireless supporters through this entire process, as well as my whole family. “Secondly, thanks to my team, and all those who have been involved from the beginning.” He added, “Thank you to Kevin Sorenson for his close-to-two decades of service to this region, and finally a huge thank you to the people in Battle RiverCrowfoot for the trust they have put in me to make sure their interests are represented in Ottawa; I intend to do everything I can make sure their voices are heard.”

Opinion No pity for Alberta As Canadians in a democratic nation, the majority of us in Alberta may not be happy with the results of Monday’s federal election but we have to respect and acknowledge that somehow Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won again. The man is Teflon, and despite all the controversies surrounding him, he will incredibly remain our PM for another four years. But will Alberta stick around for his term? This election was terrible for Alberta. The Liberals have outright said that they plan to shut down the Alberta oil sands, the world’s third largest oil deposit, and leave trillions of dollars under the ground. They also bought the Trans Mountain Pipeline for what seems like the sole purpose of having control of the ability to do absolutely nothing with the $4.5 billion purchase using Canadian taxpayer money. But according to the election results, Canadians couldn’t care less about leaving trillions of dollars in the ground. Oil reserves are finite. Oil usage will also be finite. It seems to me that if you have a finite product - and a changing market away from your product - you would want to sell as much of that commodity as quickly as possible while there is still a demand. The world wants to change away from oil usage, there is no question about that despite not having the technology to do so. But instead of selling off their much sought after oil reserves, Canadians want to leave the island with an idol in their pocket. They want to leave the ship even though it isn’t really sinking. They also want to turn the key to “off” on the engine of Canada’s economy. Shutting down the oil sands will eliminate $330 billion annually from Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP). Canada’s oil industry accounts for roughly 10 percent of our country’s GDP. There are trillions of dollars in Alberta’s oil sands ready to be ethically sold to the rest of the world. Environmentalists want it shut down despite humans continuing to purchase oil products from the rest of the world at a rate greater than ever in history. Environmental terrorists continue to spread only Alberta oil hate - and nothing from other oil producing countries on the planet. If Albertans feel ganged up on, it is for very good reason. In the past 10 years Canada has spent over $21 billion buying Saudi crude. It would seem that the same people yelling about progressive politics would rather spend money with a country which executes homosexuals and non-conforming journalists, flogs dissidents, and funds Islamic extremism rather than buy oil in its own country. The defunct Energy East Pipeline would have allowed Canada to be energy self-sufficient, which is important in a world of volatile political climate change. But, Canadians did not want that either. It is difficult for Albertans to understand the thinking of much of Canada. We are a divided country, each part only concerned about itself. Our Prime Minister has done little to ebb that tide of thought. Ten minutes after the election results showed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, a separatist movement in Alberta called voteWexit.com went from 4,000 members to 42,000 in just 10 minutes. Maybe the results of the election was a message that Canada doesn’t need Alberta. Now we’ll begin to find out if Albertans think they need Canada.

Word on the Street: hunters reported too close for comfort On October 15, a citizen turned in a license plate he had located in a ditch while mowing grass. Police were unable to make contact with the last known owner of the plate so returned it to the registries office for destruction. That evening, police received a complaint of a possible attempted credit card fraud. The complainant had provided his credit card number to a company over the phone and was then concerned he was being scammed.
The credit card was cancelled before any fraudulent activity could occur. On October 17, police received a complaint of two males hunting closer to a residence than allowed by hunting regulations. Police attended and spoke with the hunters who were apologetic and left the area. That same day, police received a complaint of a phone scam involving a credit card. The complainant advised she received a call claiming her VISA card had been
flagged in the amount of $699.99 and if she didn’t want the charge she was to press 1 to speak to a representative. The complainant hung up and contacted VISA directly, who confirmed this was a scam and that amount had not been charged to her credit card. On October 18, police received a complaint of a burnt vehicle located in a field north of Viking. Police attended and had the vehicle towed. Police are work-
ing with the K Division Auto Theft Section to try and determine who the vehicle belongs to and if it was reported stolen. This matter is still under investigation. On October 19, police were advised of a vehicle fire at a rural location north of Bruce. A semi tractor that had been parked in a farmyard caught on fire but was quickly extinguished before it could spread to the attached trailers. It is unknown what caused the fire but is not believed to be
Viking RCMP warns of various frauds Cpl. Brad Mouland Viking RCMP
As another harvest season winds down, the Viking RCMP would like to salute all farmers in our area for their hard work and perseverance. Your efforts are appreciated! On that note, we will soon begin to see the dreaded "S" word, and wintery conditions.
Please take the time to ensure your vehicle is properly serviced and equipped for winter, especially in the event of travel. Road conditions can change quickly, and it is always nice to be prepared. Viking RCMP have been seeing a lot of various types of fraud files surface lately. This topic isn't more or less prevalent than any
other time, but we have seen files involving bitcoin scams, credit card scams, scammers pretending to be from a business, SIN number
fraud, and the list goes on. Some of these frauds have resulted in financial losses for the victims. RCMP would See FRAUDS P13
criminal in nature. Later that morning, police received a request for assistance regarding an ongoing child custody issue. The complainant was unable to produce a court order stating the custody conditions so police could not enforce any visitation requirements. That night, police responded to a two vehicle collision west of Viking on Highway 14. Investigation revealed both vehicles had been eastbound when the first vehicle
was rear ended by the second vehicle. The driver of the offending vehicle had been attempting to pass the vehicle in front but then pulled back into his own lane due to oncoming traffic and struck it. Fortunately, no one was injured in this collision. During this time period, police dealt with a 911 hang-up, issued numerous violation tickets for various traffic offences, and dealt with several minor traffic collisions. Viking RCMP

Looking Back: the Generation Gap - teenagers are like butterflies Irene Toverud We don't hear too much about the Generation Gap, but we have it in our society much more than in the old days; though if we older people will admit it, we had it in our, though on a much smaller scale. Children are very dependent on their parents' wisdom until about the teenage years when group pressure takes the place of Mother and Dad who suddenly become behind the times in their thinking and values. Is it a sense of rebellion when young people now can have beautiful clothes that we in our generation would have given our eyes or teeth for - such as new jeans if such were in vogue then (bib overalls back then for boys) without any thought of having holes in the legs. People would think we were poor. Now it’s a sign of richness to afford them with holes and pay up to a hundred dollars or more. Girls with naturally curly hair spent hours straightening it or boys who are now parents grew their hair long like a girl. How horrified all we older ones were at the time. Remember boys driving
back and forth from the station to the hospital until stop signs were installed. Of course, nothing seemed to stop them from squealing their tires, I presume to annoy adults or just to gain attention. In our day families had only one car and maybe a truck but, for the boy whose Dad gave him permission to use it, would load as many as six or seven boys and girls cramped inside and go barrelling down the roads which were dirt then. If only Dad knew…seat belts put a stop to that. Most of the farm young folks had ponies, and, without parents' permission, would race across the pasture with no thought of the possibility of the horse stepping into a gopher hole; but, of course, that only happened to others, not us. Then when Elvis Presley brought rock and roll to the music world with his guitar and gyration, the young people went wild, especially girls screaming and clapping and waving their arms at his concerts. The more he shook the wilder the young people screamed. Elvis became an idol. The young people of the time are now grand-
parents and I wonder if they listen to him anymore. Granted he could sing and I love his rendition of 'Love Me Tender, Love me true.' Going back to my Dad‘s youth, he told the story of he and a friend hiding in a barn playing with matches. When the straw caught fire, the boys stole away and were never caught. At least according to him. In the final analysis, teenagers are like butterflies emerging from a cocoon. They need to spread their wings even though it means wearing jeans with holes in the legs. They may have some explaining to do when they show pictures to their own teenagers down the road. In the final analysis, as we older people sometimes shake our heads, we know the generation gap is really a small thing as teenagers and parents work together through the many types of sports and youth groups that are now available. We do grow smarter in the minds of the young in spite of the weird styles and colours of hairdos. Written with tongue in cheek.

Holden 4-H Beef Club report: club holds weigh-in Zane Gunderson & Kate Albrecht Club Reporters
On Sunday, October 20, the Holden 4-H Beef Club held its annual weigh-in for project animals. Everyone met at the Albrecht farm at 10:30 a.m. Steers were weighed, received Ivomec and 8 way vaccine. Nicole Gunderson helped members to give the vaccine to their animals. The animals also received their 4-H tag and if members wanted to implant their steers, Rob Roulston helped them do so. Any member who had already chosen a heifer project could bring their heifer to be weighed, vaccinated, and receive Ivomec as well. Members have until December 1 to choose their heifer projects.
When weigh-in was complete we had lunch in the barn. Every family brought some food. 4-H has the best food! After lunch, our club went to help a neighbour to pick 500 square straw bales. It was hard to believe that we accomplished this task in one and a half hours! Many hands make for less work. We had an amazing time. It was a great day.
The Holden 4-H Beef Club held its annual weigh-in Oct. 20 at the Albrecht farm.
Members of the Holden 4-H Club helped a neighbour pick 500 square straw bales in less than two hours.

County returns Kallal as reeve for third year Gene Hrabec remains deputy reeve Patricia Harcourt The positions of reeve and deputy reeve did not change at the Oct. 16 organizational meeting of Beaver County Council. Jim Kallal (Division 2) retained his position as reeve and Gene Hrabec (Division 3) remained as deputy reeve. Kallal and Hrabec nominated each other for their respective positions. Kallal went in by acclamation as there were no challengers. But there was a secret ballot vote between Hrabec and Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook, as Barry Bruce (Division 4) nominated Smook for the deputy reeve position. The vote went 3-2 for Hrabec, with Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson carrying the swing vote. This is Kallal's third year as reeve out of a four year term. "It's quite an honour to be reeve," he said, thanking Hrabec "for the kind words." In nominating Kallal, Hrabec had said Kallal showed strong leadership and confidence during his tenure in office, recommending him for a third year as reeve. Bruce also nominated Pederson for the acting reeve position, and as nobody challenged it, Pederson went in by acclamation. Council then agreed that
all five councillors should remain sitting on the Agricultural Services Board, with Smook returned as temporary chairman and Bruce as temporary vicechairman until the AGS holds its own organizational meeting. A motion by Pederson that all the previous committee and board appointments where councillors represent the county would remain the same was passed. Hrabec had indicated he wished to be on the Beaver Regional Waste commission because the landfill is located in his Division 3. He said local people have an issue with the mud being tracked onto highways by large trucks going in and out of the landfill site. Currently, Smook is the county's representative on the commission and did not indicate a desire to leave it. Hrabec said he would "stay with the status quo if everyone is happy with it." "I see everyone doing a very good job on the committees," said Smook, supporting the motion to keep appointments status quo. CAO Bob Smook informed council that the BMS meetings are open to the public and a councillor could attend "on their own time," but would not be compensated for it by the county. Council agreed to officially extend council meetings to 4 p.m. after finding the
previous 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. period wasn't long enough to cover the agenda. However, other ideas about holding evening meetings in rural communities a couple times a year were reconsidered somewhat. It was left to administration's discretion, with councillor input, to determine if a meeting should be held in the evening, based on public interest. "We usually know by the kind of input we get from the public," said CAO Beck, if people may potentially come out in larger numbers to a public hearing. Councillors Pederson and Bruce felt that holding meetings outside council chambers would place an extra burden on administrative staff. But they both agreed on evening meetings. "People made it pretty clear they found it difficult to attend," public hearings during the day," said Bruce. "I think we should give it a try." After discussing the remuneration policy, it was decided that as per council's action plan, the policy would be checked following the results of the provincial budget coming down Oct. 24. The budget is expected to affect the county's financial bottom line due to an expected downloading of service costs onto the municipalities.
Jim Kallal (Division 2) assumes the chair after being re-appointed by acclamation as reeve of Beaver County at the Oct. 16 organizational meeting.
Gene Hrabec (Division 3) takes the oath of office after being elected from within council for another year as deputy reeve.

Province reduces shallow gas and pipeline taxes by 35 per cent Patricia Harcourt Beaver County will receive 35 per cent less in tax revenue from shallow gas wells and pipelines in 2019, thanks to a provincial decision to offer relief to the sector. But not all of the councillors were on board with passing a resolution to that effect as requested by the province. The county's chief assessor Orest Golinowski laid out the situation for county council Oct. 16. "The government is providing tax relief of 35 per cent," he said, which means the county will have 35 per cent less revenue from this source. "The tax relief program will provide each shallow gas well producer a credit of 35 per cent of the 2019 tax levy (all taxes)," said Golinowski, in his report. "Municipalities will be reimbursed the amount of the tax credit by the province through a reduction in the education property tax requisition." The province is responsible for the assessment model used by municipalities to set tax rates for linear property such as wells and pipelines. It hasn't been altered since 2005 and "does not reflect the circumstances faced by many shallow gas producers with older, lower productivity assets," he said, with low commodity prices and poor economic conditions added into the equation. Golinowski said the short-term relief will help shallow gas well producers cut costs, protect jobs, and remain competitive while the province updates their assessment models. The new models taking over in 2020 are likely to be along the lines of a 35 per cent tax cut as well, he said. Municipal Affairs sent municipalities a "detailed list of companies," that are eligible for this cut,
and wants municipal resolutions completed by Oct. 21. CAO Bob Beck predicted that "in the next six months the urbans and rurals (municipalities) will be scrambling to balance their budgets." It is also expected that the cuts to policing services paid by the province will drop by about 35 per cent, and the local jurisdictions will have to pick up the download. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) called the tax cuts proposed "clear as mud," as money just seemed to be moved around. But Reeve Jim Kallal ceded to the province's request, stating: "Do we have any other choice, Councillor Hrabec." "This troubles me and it should trouble all the fine citizens of Beaver County and the province," said Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook. A motion by Hrabec to pass the resolution was carried 3-2 with Hrabec, Kallal and Dale Pederson (Division 5) in favour, and Smook and Barry Bruce (Division 4) opposed. The resolution cancels 35 per cent of the property taxes and any related late payment tax penalties. A corresponding credit will be applied to the county's December education requisition. Golinowski reported that the total well and pipeline tax bill for all affected companies in Beaver County is $201,609.10, with $70,563.25 taken off that amount as the short relief credit for 2019. Financial implications listed for this were that "the county will be reimbursed by Municipal Affairs for the credit granted to the shallow gas producers." To do that, the province will reduce the total amount of the December education requisition payment by the same amount, or $70,563.25.

Tofield Gun Club granted tax exemption of $2,306 Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council granted another partial tax exemption to the Tofield Gun Club and Beaver Hill Rangers for three more years at the regular meeting Oct. 16. The club will pay annual taxes of $446.90 based on a farmland assessment instead of a market value assessment as mandated by provincial legislation. That assessment would have put taxes for the club at $2,753.25, a reduction of $2,306.35. The exemption falls under the COPTER guidelines, or Community Organization Property Tax Exemption
Regulation. The exemption of $2,306.35 will remain in place for the 2020 to 2022 tax years. Gordon Hryhchuk, treasurer, and Don Woode, member, of the Tofield Gun Club attended the meeting Oct. 16 to give an overview of the club and its services to the community. Woode said the club has about 120 members and holds a free beginner shooters program every spring for youth between the ages of 10 and 18 years. The club also supports the sea cadet program out of Holden, which comes twice a year to use the facility for its certification program. County Chief Assessor Orest
Golinowski stated that the club receives an exemption as well from school and seniors housing taxes. "Any exemption granted under the COPTER (regulation) is not requisitioned by the Ministry of Education or to any foundation," said Golinowski, in his report. The club has been in place since 1962 and it is a non-profit organization in which excess revenues are carried over, not given to the operators. A motion by Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook to provide an exemption of $2,306 as the difference between farmland and market value assessment was passed, to run for three years to 2022.

News Release For immediate release: An important step has been taken by Council in the journey towards adopting a Priority-Based Budgeting approach to allocating Beaver County resources. On October 10, 2019, County Council approved a new vision, a set of goals and corresponding results on which to base a 10-year strategic plan. Council spent time completing a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of the current environment from which the municipality must operate. They also used their engagement with the community since being elected and foundational documents like the Municipal Sustainability Plan (MSP) and previously approved priorities to influence the new strategic direction. The new vision “Beaver County: We are an innovative leader in food, energy and housing” is not a huge departure from the vision within the MSP, and Council felt both are important. The new vision is reflective of a condensing of priorities for which administration will be asked to focus in a shorter timeframe than the MSP. As well, the Province of Alberta has indicated, via the MacKinnon report, that municipalities can expect less revenue from the Government of Alberta and this was factored into very clear direction from Council. Reeve Jim Kallal feels this strategic planning effort “is different than any other we have completed. We have created a series of goals along with results that illustrate what we expect to see when we are successful in achieving the goals. This will mean that our administration knows, with more clarity than ever before, our expectations.” Goals and results are as follows: GOAL: Our lifestyle options are known as a strength. • We have unique recreation opportunities in the community. • Our farming history has solidified our culture. • Acreage and country residential development attracts new citizens.
• Our urban and rural communities in the region are growing in a sustainable manner. GOAL: Citizens benefit from our diverse assessment base. • We have an industrial park. • Many new agricultural businesses have started operations. • We have a new seed plant. • There are numerous green houses in our community • We see more businesses supporting our industry. GOAL: We are seen as leaders in the Capital Region. • We are recognized for our efforts in Priority-Based Budgeting. • Our relationship with our municipal partners is seen as an example for others. • We drive innovation in waste management. • Niche crop development starts here. • Unique advancements in energy form part of our reputation. GOAL: We are confident in the stability of our infrastructure investments. • We have a long-term plan for our road network. • We have a financial plan in place to support our community assets. • Drainage plans are in place. • Industrial assessment has grown. • Municipal equipment is in sound condition.
Next steps in this process include the creation of a strategic plan using the approved vision, goals, and results as anchors. This document will include a narrative around what citizens can expect to see as a result of the strategic plan and how it might impact their daily lives. Also, administration will begin working on a business plan and budget built around achieving success in the areas identified by Council. Any questions about the process to date or upcoming work can be directed to your Councillor or by contacting the Beaver County Service Centre at 780-663-3730.

Deadline for Property Taxes
We Value Your Input
Beaver County Deadline for Payment of 2019 Property Taxes
Beaver County, the Towns of Tofield and Viking, and the Village of Holden, have prepared amendments to their Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs).
The deadline for payment of the 2019 property taxes is as follows: 4:30 PM, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2019 (if paid in person at the County Office). or Postmarked on or before October 31, 2019 (if paid by mail). or Payment processing dated on or before October 31, 2019 (if paid online). To avoid line-ups, please consider early remittance. Postdated cheques are being accepted. INTERAC, cheques, on-line, and telephone banking are encouraged. Please ensure adequate time for payment processing. If you missed us during regular office hours, please use the mail drop box at the Beaver County Service Centre located at 5120 50 Street, Ryley, Alberta. Payments received in the drop box will be cleared from the box at 8:30 am each morning and deemed received the previous business day. A penalty of 12% will be added to outstanding CURRENT taxes on November 1, 2019. Hours for the Beaver County Service Centre are: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (weekdays). Please call ahead (780-663-3730) if an appointment with the Assessor is required.
The IDPs are beneficial tools for neighbouring municipalities to provide guidance for future growth areas, address development-related matters of joint interest along and near municipal boundaries, develop policies that are mutually beneficial, provide opportunities to explore joint economic development initiatives, and provide mechanisms for cooperation in delivering services. The IDPs were originally approved in 2008 and Provincial legislation requires municipalities to update them. ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. has been working with our region to update the existing IDPs. A Discussion Paper was prepared and has been available on each municipality’s website over the last few months. It includes a review of the existing IDPs, estimates future population growth, reviews the supply of land within each municipality, and explores potential opportunities and constraints. WE VALUE YOUR INPUT! We now extend the opportunity to review the updated draft IDPs and provide input via an on-line survey. The Discussion Paper, draft IDPs, and survey are available on your municipality’s website. The deadline for participation in the survey is November 6, 2019. Questions regarding this project should be directed to your local municipal office.
BMS Public Information Meeting Beaver Municipal Solutions Public Information Meeting
Firearms Reminder Firearms Regulation Reminder Beaver County Enforcement Services would like to remind citizens of the regulations surrounding use of firearms. These regulations are found in the Alberta Wildlife Act and citizens are urged to review this legislation frequently. The legislation can be reviewed in full by visiting the Alberta Queens Printer website, clicking the Laws Online/Catalogue tab and then typing Wildlife Act. According to Section 51(1) it is illegal for a person to discharge a firearm from, or cause a projectile from a firearm to pass along or across any roadway. The roadway would also include the ditch portion extending to any private or public land. If there is no identifiable property line (ie. fence) the ditch portion is considered to extend 20 feet from the closest edge of the travelled portion of the roadway. Additionally, Section 52(1) prohibits discharging of a firearm within 200 yards, or causing a projectile from a firearm to pass within 200 yards of any occupied building. It is also unlawful to discharge any firearm at night, with night being defined as being ½ hour after sunset and ending at ½ hour before sunrise the following day. The current sunrise/sunset table for our area can be found at www.albertaregulations.ca. Specifically, for the upcoming firearm hunting season, Section 2(1) of the Petty Trespass Act prohibits the entry on any land without the permission of the owner or occupier of the land. If charged and convicted a person may be liable to a fine up to $2000. Landowners are not required to post signage prohibiting trespassing for this charge to be laid. Land that is under cultivation, surrounded by a fence or natural boundary, or that is enclosed in a manner that indicates the owner’s intention to keep persons off the land or animals on the land is by default considered to be private even without signage. Always ask permission for entry on any land for hunting or any other purposes.
In the fall of 2019, Beaver Municipal Solutions and its member municipalities are proposing to transition from a regional services commission to a municipally controlled corporation. This corporate reorganization is meant to provide increased community benefit to residents, protect and promote member municipality sustainability, and enable future waste management operations to be conducted in a more flexible manner. Along with the transition to a more flexible corporate structure, Beaver Municipal Solutions is proposing to rebrand as Claystone Waste Ltd. Come to the public information session below and have your say on the proposal to transition Beaver Municipal Solutions to Claystone Waste.

Vector Oil Tool team inducted into the Softball Alberta Hall of Fame
The 1997 Vector Oil Tool Men's fastball team was inducted this past weekend into the Alberta Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame. The team was recruited from the Andrew, Heinsburg, Irma, and Sherwood Park areas, and included six Irma men: Mike Soucy, Lennie Mark, Gordie Mark, Howie Jackson, Dean Jones, and Charlie Soucy (Assistant Coach). The club was formed, according to the Hall of Fame history, in 1996 under coach and general manager Mac Danyluk, with sponsorship from Ken Wenzel of Vector Oil Tool. That year, the Vector team won the Intermediate 'A' Men's Provincials in Calgary and advanced to the Western Canadian Championships in Whitehorse, Yukon where the team earned a Bronze. Mike Soucy was awarded the Top Batter for the tournament. The 1997 Intermediate 'A' Men's Provincials were held in Irma, with Vector defeating the Calgary All New Construction to advance to the Western Canadian Championships once again in Calgary. This time, Vector went undefeated and beat the host team Calgary Thunder in the final to take the gold medal. In 1999, the team rose to the top of the Senior 'B' Men's circuit. At the Senior 'B' Men's Provincials, in a 10-inning final, Vector defeated the Calgary Rangers sending the cub to the Western Finals in Saskatoon where a silver medal was earned. The club maintained its winning record at most of the local tournaments again in 2000. The team won the Senior Men's Open Provincials that summer and finished fifth at the Western in Victoria. After winning 5 Provincial Gold Medals, 1 WCSA Gold Medal, 1 WCSA Silver Medal, and 1 WCSA Bronze Medal, as well as a majority of the tournaments it had participated in, the Vector Oil team ceased operations at the end of the 2001 season. The Softball Alberta Hall of Fame banquet was held Saturday at the Camrose Casino.
Five of the six Irma men who played with the Vector team pose for a photo at the ceremony where the club was inducted into the Alberta Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame on Saturday. They are, from left: Leonard Mark, Howard Jackson, Mike Soucy, Charles Soucy, and Gordon Mark. Missing from the photo: Dean Jones.

Viking Royal Purple club makes community donations Dawn Hodgins Club Reporter
Members of Viking Royal Purple started our fall meetings in September. This meeting fell on the same night as the local registration night, so we decided to set up a table there and see if we could hand out our brochures and perhaps find some new members for our group. It was a very disappointing time, as NO one seemed interested in even taking our brochures to read what we do and who we support. We do support many local causes! We met at the Seniors Centre on September 10 for a most delicious potluck supper. This was followed by our regular meeting with 10 members present. As we will be going the end of January to Red Deer to work a casino event, we discussed this and have plans in place for who will go and work the event. This will bring more money into Viking and most of the money we
receive from working a casino does go back to many charities. Members of our group are once again selling “money doll raffle” tickets for $1 each. It is our wish that the community will once again support this project. Dawn and Chris took a big bag of school supplies and donated it at the FCSS office. With all of our donations, we put a lot back into the local school. Our group sends sympathy wishes to Eileen McIntosh’s family on her passing. Eileen had been an active member of the Royal Purple for 44 years, holding many positions and working many fundraising events. She is missed by all of our members. Our October meeting started by welcoming 11 groups who were there to receive funding on our donation night. Recipients were introduced and President Dawn asked them various questions about their groups, how many registered, where they meet and who uses their serv-

ice. Representatives were from preschool, Ranch Camp, Grade 2 and 4 swimming, school breakfast program, dance club, handi-van, fire department, food bank, skating club, and special guests were from STARS and Compassion House. That evening we donated $3,000. A few other donations will be sent to JDRF, Camp He Ho Ha, and Children’s Ability Fund. Plus, we donated $250 to ARPLAS. Not bad for a small group of ladies! Thanks to all who attended and especially the kids who came out to receive funds. It is extremely great to see the kids who are going to benefit from our assistance. Miriam Moison spoke to the group about STARS, the many flights that they take to rescue victims of accidents, the huge cost of keeping the helicopters in the skies and invited us to visit some time. That would be a huge pleasure to be able to make our donation in front of one of the RED helicopters. Michelle Okere spoke to
us about Compassion House and how they support women from rural areas who are in Edmonton for cancer treatments. The house now has 14 rooms and is full all the time. If you require the services of this house let us know and we will assist you with communicating with the Compassion House reps. We held our October meeting after coffee and snacks were served to all attending. We continue to keep busy. Chris attended the Grade 12 school awards and presented our check to Halley Ruzicka for her volunteer hours at the school. Dawn, Chris, and Gloria will attend a district fun night in Wainwright, Dawn, Chris, and Elehda will attend the town meeting to see if our group will get involved in the Good Sam Club event in Viking next June. We will have a table at the Christmas Farmer’s markets selling our doll raffle tickets. Next meeting is November 12. Hopefully some of you will decide to join our group.

Beaver Regional Arts Society celebrates its 40th season The Beaver Regional Arts Society in Holden proudly announces its 40th season featuring the Emeralds Show and Dance Band on November 10, Opry Gold on December 1, Arrival: ABBA Tribute Band on February 23, and the Canadian Country Music Legends on March 22. All performances are Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. and supper prepared by a community group is available afterwards. Performances are at the Paragon Theatre on main street in Holden, a facility which was the Beaver Regional Arts Centre for 37 years. The Paragon Theatre was built in 1952 and was operated as a movie theatre until 1964 or 1965. The building was closed from 1965 until 1978. In the 1970’s Beaver County Recreation and Parks Administrator
George Baker had a dream of a Regional Arts Centre. With the help of numerous civic minded individuals and Beaver County ‘s purchase of the movie theatre for $1, the dream took on a life of its own. The Beaver Regional Arts Society was formed in 1976 and its mandate was to manage the new 285 seat Beaver Regional Arts Centre facility which was formally opened on March 17, 1979. From 1979 until 2016 the Beaver Regional Arts Centre was operated by the Beaver Regional Arts Society, and from 2016 until the present the facility is being operated by Beaverhill Players who changed the name back to the Paragon Theatre. We now rent the facility from Beaverhill Players to host our annual season series of four performances.
We are celebrating 40 years of entertainment featuring Country, Folk, Gospel, Blues, Classical, Jazz, and Choral Music as well as Dance, Theatre, and Comedy. None of this would have been possible without the dedication, hard work and financial contributions of those involved in making this dream a reality. We would like to express our ongoing appreciation to our longtime season series ticket holders, all other theatre patrons, the bus groups for their continued support, board members past and present, technical volunteers past and present, the community and church groups for the wonderful suppers, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Beaver County, and the Village of Holden, and everyone else who has volunteered
Fraud
Anti-Fraud Centre website at antifraudcentre.ca. Beaver County Victim Services are hosting the RCMP Regimental Ball on Saturday, November 2. This event is put on by Victim Services every other year, and alternates between Viking and Tofield. This is an important fundraiser for the unit, as they continue to assist victims of crime within Beaver County. Viking RCMP would like to welcome everyone to this event, if you don't already have tickets,
which are going fast. Tickets are $65 per person, which includes a catered meal, presentation from the RCMP Pipes and Drums band, as well as a live band for the dance. Silent auction and raffle prizes will be available as well. Please call the Viking RCMP or Beaver County Victim Services to book tickets or reserve your table of eight. Thank you to the people that have purchased tickets already, we appreciate the support in our community.
Continued from Page 5 like to remind all citizens to be aware of these types of calls or e-mails, and call us if you have any questions. Police are able to quickly determine if matters are fraud or not, and this could save a person from losing finances or personal information. For additional information on frauds, stop by at the Viking RCMP detachment to see any member, or check the Canadian
