HAUNTED HOUSE returns to Viking in new venue Patricia Harcourt Editor

It’s going to be a chilly Halloween night this year with the first snowfall of the season taking place on Monday.

But Halloweeners might have something else to ‘shake’ about besides the cooler temperatures thanks to plans this year for an “All Hallow’s Eve Haunted House” organized by the Viking Historical Society on October 31.

“The haunted house is taking shape, volunteers are meeting,” said Kyla Lawes, on the society’s social media page. Volunteers have been busy preparing the inside of the former New to You (Anglican church annex) for the partiers.

In the past, the Historical Society has featured many such nights that were held at the Viking Museum.

But that ended when the pandemic began. Since then, the Historical Society has acquired, along with the Town of Viking, the property on which the former New to You building sits and members are busy turning it into another ‘spooktacular’ event for Halloween.

The Historical Society is returning with “The All Hallow’s Haunted House,” which includes two versions - the ‘kid friendly’ version runs from 3:15 p.m. to 7

p.m. and the ‘spooky version’ runs from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m.

For both versions, entry can be gained with a donation to the museum or the food bank.

Also on October 31, businesses will be opening their doors to a “Viking Business trick or treat” experience during business hours from 3:15 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Little trick or treaters will be able to find these participating businesses with a map provided to tell them and their caregivers.

So everyone can get out and enjoy a trick or treat night along with a fun experience at the haunted house.

In the Village of Holden, a big Halloween Family and Teenage Dance is planned for Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Holden Community Hall.

The Family Dance runs from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Teenage Dance follows from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. with a prize for the best costume and for the best group costume. The evening is hosted by Viking/Beaver FCSS and Holden Community Hall Association.

There will also be a pumpkin carving/decorating contest on Oct. 28 in Holden, sponsored by The Gallery, Viking/Beaver FCSS and Friends of the Gallery. Bring you pumpkins to The Gallery in Holden at noon this coming Saturday for judging at 3 p.m.

The former New to You building (Anglican annex) will be the new venue for the Viking Historical Society’s Hallow’s Eve Haunted House.

Public open house addresses Review places town in ‘very change in how mayor is elected good financial position’ Patricia Harcourt Editor

A public open house will be held on Dec. 18 to discuss a proposed policy change on how the mayor is chosen in the Town of Viking.

Currently, the mayor is elected separately during municipal elections, and four councillors are also elected for council.

Normally, the mayor keeps his or her position for a four-year term, barring unforeseen circumstances such as ill health or death, and controversy that forces a resignation.

But this council wants to change the way the mayor is chosen by reverting to the village format as stated in the Municipal Government

Act (MGA). In the MGA, villages don’t elect a mayor separately.

Instead, village council votes for a mayor from within their own council. This takes place once a year at the organizational meeting in October.

The change is being suggested by current Mayor James Buttner as a way of keeping good candidates who lose a mayoral election.

“The biggest reason for having the new bylaw is that we are a small community,” said Buttner, in a later interview. “If a person runs for mayor and loses, we lose that person. I feel (the new approach) would make our community stronger.”

Buttner says that there

could be two or three good candidates for a separate mayor’s race but only one of them can win. So the rest are left out as they can’t try again for a councillor’s or mayor’s job again for another four years.

“We end up losing a lot of good people that way,” he said.

A chief elected officer (CEO) bylaw is being proposed that, if passed, would allow the mayor to be appointed from within the council itself by an internal election.

Council gave first and second reading of the proposed bylaw at their October meeting, and scheduled the open house for 5 p.m. in Viking Council Chambers on Dec. 18. All are welcome to attend.

Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking Council heard a zoom presentation from CSP Municipal Solutions giving the results of the September Financial Report Review.

“The town is actually in a very good financial position,” Dave McReynolds of CSP Municipal Solutions said at council’s Oct. 16 regular meeting.

McReynolds added that “the concession is doing quite well,” referring to the Viking Carena Complex concession.

He predicted that the financial numbers “will definitely grow and there will be a surplus at the end (of the fiscal year)…

So it’s good news there.”

However, Councillor Clint Nearing disagreed

stating that in the shortterm spending of $123,000 was more than revenues of $115,000. “So it’s in a deficit,” he said.

McReynolds replied that Nearing was “going month to month,” in his assessment.

But McReynolds was expecting things to pick up in the winter months with all the activity at the Carena during that time.

Clint replied that the current figures “might be ahead of the budget but it’s still losing money.”

With that, Chief Administrative Officer Doug Lefsrud said that the months of November and December will see a bigger tournament schedule for the rink.

“So all indications are we should be pretty good,” he said, in the concession finance de-

partment.

The town may have a new expense in future with the possible purchase of $400 water metres that can remotely restrict the water supply to a residence by controlling the valve stem.

CAO Lefsrud said this would be used as “a last resort” for water customers who present certain “challenges” by not paying their bills over several months.

After completing the report and discussion, McReynolds stated: “The town’s doing very well.”

Later, CAO Lefsrud agreed: “I think we’ve done really well,” he said, referring to the completion of the stormwater drainage project as well as other capital projects.

“It’s been a really good year,” he said.

OPINION

Saluting Businesses It’s timeSmall to recognize and celebrate our volunteer firefighters

(all opinions must be signed to be published)

Hon. Damien Kurek,

Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

Small businesses are the cornerstone of our economy. Not only do small businesses make up about 96 per cent of all businesses in Alberta, but they also contribute over $100 billion annually towards our province’s GDP while employing hundreds of thousands of everyday people. Small businesses also play critical roles in our communities by doing things like sponsoring hockey teams, donating to schools, and employing youth and seniors.

This past week, our United Conservative government celebrated Small Business Week.

Battle River-Crowfoot MP

Canada currently There has been a lot happening over the past few weeks. Parliament and Committees have been very busy, there has been a full-scale attack against Israel by a terrorist organization, and this past week I travelled across Battle River-Crowfoot listening to your concerns. On the note of the terrorist attacks on Israel, I want to take a moment to say that Conservatives unequivocally condemn the invasion of democratic Israel by Hamas terrorists. My thoughts and prayers are with the families, including Canadians, who have lost loved ones or who are waiting to hear whether they are safe. Israel needs our support at this critical juncture.

I also join with Pierre Poilievre in condemning the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas, demonstrations that have taken place across Canada, supported by activist leaders, some politicians, and on university campuses. This type of hate and antisemitism has no place in Canada.

Everywhere I go the cost of living is top of mind. In a recent series of town halls, meetings, events, and calls across Battle River-Crowfoot that I participated in in the week following Thanksgiving, I heard consistently about the out-of-control prices of groceries, utilities, and fuel. Thanksgiving dinner has never cost so much, and while the Liberals have promised relief they have failed to deliver. Additionally, there is a real fear expressed by everyone with a mortgage who is worried about the cost that will result in a renewal at a much higher interest rate.

It’s not only here in rural Alberta that are concerned about the Liberal agenda, but increasingly that is the case across Canada.

Conservatives are bringing forward common-sense solutions to help Canadians, while almost all Liberals and NDP members continue to push failed policies that are costing Canadians dearly. It is Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh who must answer to Canadians why they continue to implement policies that make Canadians’ lives more expensive.

Letter: 100-year-old veteran remembers the fallen - War Amps Canada Dear Editor, I lost my right arm on Oct. 18, 1944, while serving with the Loyal Edmonton Regiment in Italy.

I was staked at a farmhouse that had a children’s treehouse located nearby. In the treehouse was a sniper who kept shooting at our boys. A tank then came which shot out shells, the shrapnel hitting my right arm.

When I returned home from the war, I joined The War Amps and have been a member ever since.

This Association was started by First World War amputee veterans to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees.

Having just recently turned 100, I am reflecting this Remembrance Day upon

all those who served in my regiment and never returned home.

Their absence weighs on me and it is essential that we keep their memory alive. I take comfort in knowing that The War Amps and its young members will continue to keep spreading the message long into the future.

The sacrifices of those who served (and continue to serve) deserve to be remembered and honoured.

Each Remembrance Day serves as a poignant reminder of the tremendous price paid by these brave individuals.

Their selflessness and courage continue to resonate, and it is our duty to ensure that their legacy endures.

Lloyd Brown, 100 Member of The War Amps

WWII veteran Lloyd Brown in 1943 and now as a member of Canada War Amps.

WORD ON THE STREET

Speeding cattle liner tailgates driver On October 16, police located an abandoned quad with no licence plate just north of Viking. The vehicle was towed. The owner contacted police later that morning to advise the quad had broken down the night before and he had plans to retrieve it that day.

That afternoon, police received information about a black Dodge diesel pickup entering a rural property in the Kinsella area. The pickup left and nothing further occurred but the property owner wanted police aware.

Also that day, police received a complaint of several garbage bags containing wire casings dumped at a rural property near Bruce.

Members attended the location but there was no evidence left behind to further a police investigation.

Later that day, police received a complaint of mischief that had occurred three days prior at a residence in Viking.

The complainant advised she had found her patio furniture in disarray and one of the cushions was ripped apart and shredded.

She also noted a minor injury to her dog so was unsure if the damage had been caused by a person or possibly another dog.

On October 18, police received a report of a single vehicle rollover northwest of Viking. A semi hauling anhydrous ammonia rolled into a ditch but, fortunately, the contents did not spill or leak and the driver did not sustain any injury.

That evening, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle headed east in the Kinsella area. The complainant advised the vehicle drove slow-

ly past her residence and then stopped in her neighbour’s approach.

The vehicle then left the area heading north on Secondary 870. Police made patrols in the area but the vehicle in question was not located. The information was also passed on to Vermilion RCMP. On October 19, police received a complaint of a speeding semi pulling a cattle liner southbound on Highway 36. The complainant advised the semi had been tailgating her so she sped up to try and put some distance between the vehicles; however, the semi also sped up and continued to follow her closely. The complainant was able to provide a licence plate number so the registered owner was contacted and warned about the driving pattern.

On October 20, police received a complaint of a vehicle hitting a moose on Highway 36 just south of Viking.

The driver was fine and carried on his way but the moose was left deceased in the driving lane so police attended and removed the animal from the roadway with the assistance of a passing motorist.

During the early morning hours on October 21, police provided assistance to Vegreville RCMP as a vehicle stolen from their area was heading southbound towards Viking detachment’s boundary. Police made extensive patrols but the stolen vehicle was not located.

That afternoon, police were dispatched to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 14 just west of Viking. A northbound semi turned

west onto Highway 14 and then proceeded to merge into the path of another westbound semi causing the two to collide. The driver of the offending vehicle was issued a

violation ticket for Section 38(a) UHRRRFail to proceed safely after stopping at intersection.

Fortunately, no injuries were incurred by either driver.

Retailer wants to open cannabis store in Viking Public hearing on bylaw change paves the way Patricia Harcourt Editor

A retailer hopes to add to his investments by opening up a cannabis store on main street in Viking.

Akshthal Kalia of Goodvibes Cannabis already has stores operating in three other small town Alberta communities - Three Hills, Vilna, and Crossfield. Two other stores are being renovated for use in Two Hills and Mundare, and are expected to open in October and November.

A public hearing will be held in Viking Council Chambers on Nov. 1 regarding a revision of the current cannabis bylaw in order to pave the way for a cannabis store in the downtown. The town is proposing that the distance in the bylaw between a cannabis store and provincial care facilities, schools and daycares, among others, be reduced from 200 metres to just 20 metres.

The hearing is for the public to come and get more information on the proposed bylaw change, to allow for the store to come onto main street.

Kalia said he had two buildings in mind as of Monday, Oct. 23, as a potential site for his enterprise. He was looking at the historic Hilliker building or the former bank building on main street as possible venue spaces.

“We are an education forward and community driven cannabis brand with a strategy to bring this service to the towns and villages where there is no store yet,” said Kalia.

“This helps uplift the town economy as well as the revitalization of main street creating an inviting environment and energy for small towns where new business opening is vital,”

he added.

His idea to open a store here came after travelling past on the highway in March when there was still snow on the ground.

“This is an interesting town, it has something going on,” he said, while looking the town over.

The thought made him stop at the Carena to leave his card at the town office. After getting married, he and his wife went through Viking again in September. This time when Kalia stopped he met the town’s CAO Doug Lefsrud.

He found the town “very welcoming to business,” and discovered there was no cannabis store here despite the fact it’s been five years since such sales were legalized in the province.

Kalia sent a letter to the town outlining his desire to open a store in Viking and outlining his business and social initiatives.

“We are community driven and wellness focused,” he told council at a meeting. “I sell dope like a healer.”

That means also providing products that aren’t psychoactive which can help reduce aches and pains without getting high. The baby boomers are fast becoming part of a segment of the population turning to these kinds of products. Although there would also be products with THC available that can get a person high, Kalia’s stores offer both to anyone 18 years of age and older, along with a caveat for the younger buyers of his product.

He says the Goodvibes company offers more than the product itself. They also offer creativity, the arts, music, good vibrations and education on the use of the cannabis

product.

There is also an opportunity, he said, “to explore the wellness offered by the (cannabis) plant.”

On the economic side, the store would offer employment with Kalia saying he would train up to 10 local residents to work in the cannabis industry, although he expected there would be a couple of full-time employees holding down the shop.

Goodvibes Cannabis is the only cannabis retailer in the county to organize a cannabis public education event, he said, at Three Hills in 2022.

He claims to be very successful with other programs, such as the promotion of non-psychoactive cannabis for use by people under the

age of 25. He promotes this because until the age of 25 the frontal lobe in a young person are still developing, and the use of psychotropic drugs can affect the long-term development of a yung person’s decision making skills.

“You use it, don’t let it use you,” he said.

His company has a “Stay Hydrated” campaign and provided a free water refill program for several indigenous nations “to address a real life issue of clean drinking water on Indigenous reserve land.”

Another program bought library memberships for everyone in Vilna. “This is a good vibes way of converting cannabis money into social impact,” he explains.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY Ice Maintenance Technician/Parks Assistant Full Time/Permanent Position ***This position could be seasonal (Aug 15 - March 31) for the right candidate*** Summary of Work: The Ice Maintenance Technician/Parks Assistant will work as the Ice Maintenance Technician from August 1 to March 31 each year and as a Parks Assistant from April 1 to July 31 each year.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a resume and cover letter to the Town of Killam: ICE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN/ PARKS ASSISTANT ckinzer@town.killam.ab.ca Phone: 780-385-3080; Fax: 780-385-2120 Box 189, 4923 – 50th Street Killam, AB T0B 2L0 We thank all applicants for their interest, however, only those applicants receiving an interview will be contacted.

The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

The AGLC conducted educational sessions he has held at his shops also included liquor use and gaming issues, as well as cannabis.

“I was able to connect various communities for education on responsible use,” he said.

“These are a few of the main things we have accomplished as a cannabis brand, and I believe the people of

Viking will definitely benefit from this service.”

He also added that he is “very open to a town hall meeting.” Those who attend the meeting at the Viking Carena on Nov. 1 will get a chance to hear more about the bylaw change the town is proposing in order to pave the way for this potentially new business on main street.

Smook returned as Reeve at organizational meeting Patricia Harcourt After a split vote by county council, Kevin Smook was returned as Reeve at Beaver County’s annual organizational meeting Oct. 18.

Gene Hrabec lost his bid for the Reeve’s chair but was returned by acclamation as the Deputy Reeve.

Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) nominated Hrabec (Division 3 councillor) for the position of Reeve, while Smook (Division 1 councillor) was nominated by Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2).

Hrabec spoke to his nomination by referring to his past year’s work on council and other committees, stating that he was the person who could move the county forward, citing recent county meetings with provincial ministers as an example.

He also referred to his “strong background” in working and building government relationships. And he took credit for the county’s governance review study and the changes that resulted from this review.

After thanking council “for the honour” of previously serving as Reeve, Smook said he was proud to represent the county at many events.

He listed the meetings attended recently with provincial ministers and parliamentary secretaries.

“Together we are moving the ball up the field,” he said, adding he was “proud of our administrative team.”

After a secret ballot, Smook was declared the winner.

Division 5 Councillor Pederson then nominated Hrabec for Deputy Reeve. With no other nominations Hrabec was declared by acclamation.

Williams became Acting Reeve by acclamation after a nomination from Hrabec.

Interim Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Margaret Jones administered the oath of office to each elected official, then reviewed council’s roles and responsibilities, council code of conduct, the procedural bylaw, the council/CAO covenant and the guide to pecuniary interest for municipal councillors.

Organizational business included appointing Lesley Faith to the Tofield/Beaver County West FCSS Advisory Committee with a term to expire in October 2025.

All of Beaver County Council was appointed to the Agricultural Service Board. After a nomination by Williams, Hrabec became temporary chair of the ASB until the ASB meets to appoint a permanent chair.

County Council then turned to its own committee appointments and decided to stay where they were for the sake of continuity.

However, Reeve Smook was unsuccessful in a bid to sit as the county’s representative on the Highway 14 Regional Water Commission. Already sitting on the commission are Councillor Dale Pederson and alternate Barry Bruce. Neither wished to vacate to accom-

Beaver County Council held its organizational meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 18 with Kevin Smook (Division 1) returned as Reeve, Gene Hrabec (Division 3) returned as Deputy Reeve and Lionel Williams (Division 2) the new Acting Reeve. The council is shown, from left: Dale Pederson (Division 5), Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3), Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1), Acting Reeve Lionel Williams (Division 2) and Barry Bruce (Division 4). modate Smook.

Smook said he wanted to sit on the commission board to try and help with the issues of governance the commission is currently dealing with.

Pederson acknowledged that the commission faces a “challenge,” due to “a lack of municipal knowledge” on the part of some members who are “unaware of a commission’s role.” Pederson added he didn’t think the municipalities on the commission “are abiding by the policies.”

But he wanted to stay on because he knows the history and operations of the commission. Bruce also said he wished to remain on the commission.

Smook said he wanted to see if he could help with the commission’s governance issue.

A secret ballot vote was held between Smook and Pederson with Pederson declared the winner. A motion was then passed declaring Pederson the county representative on the water commission with Bruce remaining as alternate.

However, Pederson did state he wished to withdraw from the Beaver Regional Partnership (BRP) as county representative, and Williams stepped up to take his place. Pederson also stepped away from the county’s Health and Safety Committee where he served for six years.

Hrabec assumed a position on the committee, with Williams and Bruce remaining.

Two other items were deferred to the next

Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) in early November.

That included the subject of councillor remuneration with Jones stating in her report that a survey had been conducted of council remuneration among other rural municipalities.

“In September, the Governance and Priorities Committee reviewed a high level summary of the survey results and were subsequently provided with additional details,” she stated, noting that “further discussion with the GPC is scheduled for November.”

The report concerned 66 municipalities surveyed, with 34 responding to the survey request. These included the county’s six rural neighbours which were chosen as comparisons for the county, including Camrose County, Flagstaff County, Minburn County, Kneehill County. M.D. of Wainwright and County of St. Paul.

“Survey findings for all municipalities are quite detailed and difficult to condense into an easily readable document,” Jones said, including a long list of general findings.

Recommendations will be referred to county council following the November GPC meeting and discussion.

Also deferred to the next GPC meeting was a policy on councillor telecommunication equipment. The recent councillor remuneration survey included a segment on supply and payment of telecommunications equipment.

Councillor serves notice concerning motion on abandoned and unsightly buildings Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Councillor Barry Bruce has served notice that he intends to introduce a motion at the next meeting of council that will deal with the issue of unsightly buildings.

Bruce, who represents Division 4, said the issue has been discussed for the past six years and nothing has been done. County council has brought forward the problem of unsightly buildings in the Hamlet of Bruce, which lies in Division 4, on several occasions for discussion.

“It is an issue that doesn’t go away,” he said, giving the City of Edmonton’s way of handling the problem as an example of how the county could deal with it.

Administration was asked to draft a bylaw that put derelict properties into a separate subsection for assessment purposes.

Debate and discussion were allowed on his notice of motion, but an actual motion was not required of council to move this forward to the November 1 council meeting.

Beaver County Chronicle, October 25, 2023 - 3

GPC and county meetings to change in 2024 - one meeting each per month Patricia Harcourt The regular meetings of Beaver County Council and those of the Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) will change in 2024.

Both types of meetings will often be held on one Wednesday of the month instead of holding both twice a month on the same day.

County council meetings will be held on the third Wednesday of every month beginning at 9:30 a.m. in 2024.

GPC meetings will vary depending on the time of year.

Most will be held on the first Wednesday of each month running from February to June, and also from September to November.

But over the summer holidays and Christmas that routine will change. For January, July, August and December GPC will be held after council meetings on the third Wednesday of those particular months.

Separate budget meetings were set for November 2729 and December 5-6 for 2-24.

Manager of Legislative Services Margaret Jones said the changes were needed to allow committee members to take as long as they needed to discuss items at GPC meetings.

The current schedule for 2023 has GPC meetings followed by council meetings in the afternoon, which means having to break off GPC discussion for the 1 p.m. council meetings.

In 2024, GPC would be held on a day without a council meeting for most months so discussion could be extended, she said. And when GPC meetings are held on certain

months they would be after the council meeting, so “they can just continue on as they are not recorded.”

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) saw this as a chance to allow delegates to speak more than 15 minutes at a time, but wondered if cutting back on meetings due to time issues was the correct move. Both council and GPC currently meet twice a month each which will now change in the New Year.

Hrabec suggested a 9 a.m. start if the committee was dealing with delegations. But Jones said it would be difficult to set the time ahead as GPC doesn’t always know too far in advance if there are delegations.

The GPC could be all-day if necessary, she added, on those meeting days set for the first Wednesday of the month.

Division 2 Councillor Lionel Williams said he agreed with the new format as it will allow for emergent items in the afternoons of GPC meetings.

Jones told council that the GPC meetings have been held once per month for the majority of this year, but more were added for the policy review project in the latter half of 2023.

County council has been hold two council meetings per month, one full day on the first Wednesday of the month and one half-day on the third Wednesday of the month.

“The purpose for establishing the GPC and council meetings on the same day arise from GPC meetings,” she said.

“A review of the GPC and council meeting agenda items in 2023 indicates that this situation occurred in one instance,” referring to a 2022 financial statement that was

presented in April 2023 and approved by council that same afternoon.

“With this in mind, administration recommends that council establish only one GPC meeting and one council meeting per month in 2024.”

The report gave several reasons for this move including the infrequency of the time sensitivity issue.

Also, “Staff are currently finding it difficult to meet operational needs, prepare the meetings and move council’s corporate goals forward when there are three meetings per month,” she said.

Jones also said there would be “significant changes in staff” in the Legislative Services area and time must be allocated “to train and reduce pressure to meet multiple deadlines.”

She added that “longer GPC meetings,” to be held on the first Wednesday of the month starting in 2024 allow for “more thorough discussion of agenda items.

“Currently discussions are sometimes rushed or postponed due to time constraints,” she said.

And fewer meetings in the summer and over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays allow staff to catch up on work, complete special needs projects and take personal time.

Jones noted that if there is a time sensitive issue to deal with a special meeting could be called to deal with it.

“Council can also revisit the regular meeting schedule at any council meeting in which all councillors are in attendance,” said Jones.

Beaver County Council passed the recommendations given to them by administration regarding meeting schedule for 2024.

Deputy mayor changes for Viking council Patricia Harcourt Editor

James Buttner’s position as mayor did not change following Viking Council’s organizational meeting on Oct. 16.

Buttner is elected separately from council and having just been acclaimed as mayor in August he will remain in the position until the next general municipal election.

Council is beginning the process of trying to change this process so that the councillors will vote-in a different mayor each year from amongst themselves, as takes place routinely on village councils.

Buttner has said he wants all councillors to get an opportunity for learning different areas on council. This already occurs every year with the Deputy Mayor’s

position.

At this year’s organizational the deputy mayor post went to Cindy Lefsrud for a year’s term having taken over from councillor Dana Ewashko.

Council then proceeded with committee appointments for the year. Council could not agree on the re-appointment of the auditors for 2024.

Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Doug Lefsrud noted that for continuity’s sake it would be better to continue to the end of the year with the current auditors, as the year-end financials and interim 2024 budget were necessary to be done.

Lefsrud said he would “appreciate keeping the same auditors for this year,” noting that he had

everything prepared for the audit laid out in his office.

However, Mayor Buttner wanted to get more information and delay the appointment of the auditors until the November 1 special meeting. A motion by Councillor Clint Nearing to that effect was passed by council.

Nearing stated he had “no problem” with the current auditors, and noted that the auditors the town appoints now “would be for the next calendar year.”

CAO Lefsrud had earlier stated that council should finish off the year with the current auditor and, if council wishes, appoint a new auditor for the upcoming year.

Council then proceeded with re-appointments of the town’s legal counsel, assessors and engineers.

September bylaw report for Town of Viking Patricia Harcourt Editor

Bylaw enforcement dealt with several issues each of dog complaints and nuisance yards in the Town of Viking.

The September report to Viking Council listed seven nuisance yard complaints involving lawns not being mowed, and two others regarding unkempt yards.

Two tickets were issued for having a dog at large, and two more tickets were given for barking dog complaints.

A written warning was received for someone walking a dog without a muzzle.

The officer also dealt with three building inspection issues, three unattached RV trailers and one verbal warning was given for parking left of centre on the roadway.

In total there were 22 bylaw issues dealt with in the month of September.

With the first snowfall for the season coming down on Monday, Oct. 23, there will no doubt be bylaw issues starting over clearing snow off sidewalks by residents.

OBITUARIES

Brian Ross Haeberle

October 24, 1951 – October 15, 2023 It is with heavy hearts the family of Brian Haeberle announce his passing on Sunday, October 15, 2023, in Lethbridge at the age of 71, following a lengthy illness battle.

Although Brian lived in the city, he was a true country man at heart.

He grew up in the

Bruce/Torlea/Viking communities and enjoyed the simple life it provided to him and his family. He enjoyed the history his family shared with rodeo and horsemanship, fuelling the love for his favourite mount, Tornado. In later years, Brian became business partners with Sam and Chub Klontz after purchasing the Farmer’s Meat Market on Main Street in Viking from George Klontz.

Brian was the fourth of six children born to Ross and Gert Haeberle. He was predeceased by his parents, Ross and Gert, an infant brother Gary, sister Shirley Ronjom,

spouse Marie Hart, and nephew Lee Labreche.

Brian is survived by his sisters, Sharon Greenwood and Judy (Ray) Labreche, and brother Charlie Haeberle.

Brian was blessed with three sons, Dean (Chris), Cory (Tami), Kevin (Stacey) and one daughter, Chantel (Ty).

Brian was fortunate to also have 13 grandchil-

dren, four great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, additional extra grandchildren, along with many friends and extended

family.

There will be no formal funeral service as per Brian’s wishes but a celebration of life will take place later in

Viking, Alberta. The family would like to thank you for the calls, texts, and conversation in remembrance of Brian.

Final reading given to vehicle and pedestrian traffic bylaw Patricia Harcourt Editor Third and final reading was given to the bylaw that regulates and controls motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the town of Viking.

Council had already given the bylaw first and second reading in September. With third reading passed the bylaw was

adopted with amendments regarding four-wheeled vehicles.

Direction was given that in the spring the town will share the contents of the bylaw concerning golf carts and their use by residents going to and from the golf course. Councillor Clint Nearing wanted more information put in the bylaw, said CAO Doug Lefsrud.

Administration continues

to search for a bylaw Nearing believes was passed several years ago but doesn’t appear on the books.

“We’ll go back and dig to see,” said Lefsrud.

A beautification initiative for main street was tabled to the December council meeting. Lefsrud said there will be a review of the operational budget and discussion on the creation of a

Keeping pets safe at Halloween Patricia Harcourt Editor Halloween will be marked next Tuesday, Oct. 31, and many people have pets they might not realize are at risk at this time as people have fun celebrating the occasion.

For instance, giving pets chocolate can result in a scary run to the veterinarian due to toxicity.

Trupanion reveals that toxicity claims have spiked 70 per cent in some years around Halloween. Toxicity always increases starting from Halloween to the end of the year. Pets need to be kept away from chocolate, but also raisins and xylitol.

Dr. Sarah Nold states that chocolate contains theobromine that when ingested in enough amounts can be

toxic to dogs and cats.

Xylitol is a sugar substitute that can create low blood sugars causing weakness, collapse, and seizures in pets.

Costumes are such fun but not every pet should be in a Halloween costume.

“Make sure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t have any loose pieces they may try to swallow,” said Nold.

Another potentially painful and possibly deadly source of danger for a pet is the candle in the jack-olantern glowing so bright and beautiful.

Candles need to be put in an out of reach place where pets cannot access them.

“Flames can easily find wagging tails and curious noses,” explained Dr. Nold.

And all the noise and

Beltone meets all of your needs:

excitement of the Halloween experience means keeping pets in a separate room away from the front door. Animals often escape during trick or treating and with their stress levels up don’t always find their way home.

So it’s important never to leave your pet unsupervised. But Dr. Nolan says that, if the pet does escape the house, “make sure they have on a reflective collar with proper identification for the pet in case they do get lost.”

Do what you can to keep them safe and at home free of stress, toxic foods, and candle proximity. After all, they are loved and should be cared for extra carefully during this spooky time of year.

bylaw outlining a main street beautification and community enhancement funding grant.

The initiative is in line with the town’s strategic planning. “Funding would be available to the town or community groups and

business owners to apply for matching dollars towards enhancement projects,” said CAO Lefsrud.

Work can include painting, landscaping, street benches or planters, signs and murals, as well as fountains or water features.

Lefsrud later said the deferral would “provide more opportunity for talks,” on the part of council, including the use of three per cent of the Fortis Franchise Fee monies to provide matching funding from the grant.
