Terry Fox’s legacy lives on Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking School held its annual Terry Fox Run on Tuesday, Sept. 24, and raised $1,315 in the fight against cancer. Students and members of the public joined together to walk or run around the school playground. Many had on sticky notes explaining what person they were honouring in their own personal lives. All the funds go to the Terry Fox Foundation’s fight to find a cure for cancer, a disease that affects almost every person by knowing someone who has it or having the disease themselves. The Viking School stated it participated this year “to continue Terry’s dream of a world without cancer.” The legacy is a strong one for young people as he was only 18 when Fox lost his leg to cancer. Fox then started his Marathon of Hope on April 12, 1980, in Newfoundland to run across the country and raise money for the cause. However, he only reached Ontario before the disease spread and took his life on June 28,1981. He was only 22. But the legacy lives on in the hearts of all those who participate every year in the fundraiser. School organizer Leanne Ogrodnick said all the donations were made online and is a “fast, fun and easy way to donate.” After 42 years, the Marathon of Hope continues to raise funds to support Terry’s dream of a cancer-free world.

Local raccoon sighting Kari Janzen Staff Reporter A dead raccoon was reported on Highway 14 recently, a rare sighting in this area of Alberta. Beaver County Agricultural Fieldman Jonathan Culbert said raccoons have been seen more often in this area within the last 10 years. “Raccoons are a bit unusual for us to see this far north, but are becoming more common in recent years. Historically, raccoons have only ever occupied the southern parts of the province, but over the years, in the last decade or so, their population has expanded to include central Alberta,” he said. Culbert said most often, raccoons that appear in the area have not travelled here of natural means. “Typically, the raccoons we do see are often stowaways on trains or trucks and cars. That is why we mostly hear reports of raccoons that have been struck on the highway. Nonetheless, this allows them to migrate here and potentially find food and habitat,” Culbert said. Culbert said in an average year the County will receive one or two reports of raccoons. Culbert said, in general, raccoons do not pose any significant risk to people or pets. “A question I often get in regards to raccoons is if they are carriers of rabies. Raccoon rabies has not been found in Alberta, and is therefore not a major concern. They can carry diseases such as distemper or roundworm, as well as act aggressively if frightened or feeling threatened. Therefore, care should be taken to reduce the likelihood of interaction with these animals, however, care should always be taken to avoid wildlife to ensure diseases and other dangers are mitigated,” Culbert said.

Culbert said homeowners should make sure that food sources are cleaned up and locked away, and that any holes in buildings should be fixed to deter raccoons from setting up shop. “Ensuring that food sources, such as household garbage, pet food, spilled grain, etcetera, are locked up or disposed of promptly, and removing brush piles, and plugging holes and entrances into buildings are the most effective ways to mitigate any raccoon issues on your own property. Raccoons are known to inhabitant attics, basements, and unoccupied buildings, so keeping buildings sealed is crucial,” Culbert said. The Government of Alberta’s (GOA) webpage on human-wildlife conflict information on raccoons says they only need a four to six inch hole to gain access to buildings. “Replace broken or rotten boards and nail down any piece that may be loose on buildings. Clear out brush piles, stacked lumber, and debris piles that raccoons can use as cover. Look around your property for spaces underneath sheds, porches, decks, and crawlspaces. These spaces should be closed off with quarter inch hardware cloth. Make sure there are no raccoons inside when you close off the space,” the website says. Landowners do not need to obtain a licence to hunt or trap raccoons. The GOA’s website says as long as individuals have permission to hunt on a particular piece of property, raccoons can be hunted throughout the year. “Raccoons may be hunted or trapped throughout the province at any time of year without a licence on land which the person has the right of access for hunting,” the website says. Culbert said standard

REDUCED BEAVER COUNTY live traps are readily available at hardware and home and garden stores, as well, contacting local trappers is an option when dealing with raccoon issues. “If you encounter a raccoon in or around your home, you are permitted to trap these animals and relocate or cull them. However, if a raccoon is present on your property, it is likely being attracted there due to available habitat and/or food. Therefore, as mentioned, keeping a tidy yard and disposing of garbage promptly is your best bet for longterm control,” he said. Raccoons are mammals native to North America, and have a lifespan of two to five years in the wild. In the GOA’s January 2002 publication on Prevention and Control of Raccoon Damage, it says adult raccoons weigh between 12 and 36 pounds.

“They are easily identified by their black face mask and their distinctive tail, which has alternating yellow and brown rings. The body fur of raccoons has a ‘salt and pepper’ appearance due to the mixture of grey and black fur. Raccoons range in length from 75 to 90 centimetres, including the 25 centimetre tail,” the publication says. A raccoons diet includes fruit, vegetables, berries, grain, insects, frogs, birds and small mammals, though the GOA’s website says raccoons are omnivores that can easily adapt to whatever food sources are available. “Near human habitation, raccoons will eat whatever we deliberately or inadvertently provide, such as garbage, chickens, corn, compost, bird seed, or pet food,” the website says.

Vialta Lodge Chatter: recent visitors from Norway Marion R. Cottrell Vialta Lodge Reporter

I trust you have all been enjoying these beautiful colourful autumn days. How wonderful to arrive at the end of September with no killing frost. The flowers are still blooming and the trees have been able to colour their leaves to full glory. Our intermittent rains and high humidity is certainly slowing harvest operations but thankfully the farmers have crops to harvest. Count our many blessings day by day. The wonderful weather has allowed several escorted strolls along the “Ralph and Lois Child Trail.” The smooth and wide sidewalk, along with a few strategically placed comfortable benches en route, make it a safe and enjoyable walking trail even for those requiring a walker or wheelchair. It is pleasing to see a number of individuals in their own time also make use of the Trail. That is exactly what it is there for. On Thursday, August 29, the Handi Van was full of residents as they headed out to the Viking Hutterite Colony for a guided tour. Their guides were very pleased to show them around the colony. A special treat was going into the new school which would be accepting students for the first time in just a few days. Everyone enjoyed the excursion and extend heartfelt appreciation for the hospitality shown to them. The first in-house music jam was held in the Atrium on Friday, September 27. Several residents brought out their instruments and voices to provide an hour of entertainment. If there are other tenants with musical talents please talk to Lindsey. Just because you are living in a senior’s lodge does not mean you have to give up your individual identity. We are looking for participation and a way to encourage friendship and laughter. Since there was no September Vialta Chatter

submitted, I will mention the birthdays of Ed Majeski on September 7 and Lillian Fitzmaurice on September 13. October birthdays are Jackie Darling on the 21st and Robert Ash on the 26th. Greetings to each of you. We welcome Eugene Rollinson as a new resident and welcome back to Viking! We wish Helen Bell a smooth transition as she goes on to a higher level of care. Our activity coordinator has been busy redecorating with the colourful Autumn decorations. A reminder that October 14 is Thanksgiving and it is fast approaching. October 17 Bob Williams will once again be entertaining us at 1:30 p.m. October 21 Ralph and Friends will join us at 1:30 p.m. Watch your calendar for the date in October for a shopping trip to Vegreville. A reminder to all residents that on October 31, Halloween, there will be ghosties and goblins coming through our door

as they go trick or treating in the neighbourhood. Immediately after supper pull up a chair in the dining room and be delighted watching the little ones in their costumes parading around for us. And recall the days, not so long ago, when your own families were involved in this tradition. Eunice Gulbraa had a pleasant surprise visit at noon on Sunday, September 29. Her close friends, Marlene and Marianne (Raasok) arrived with a bouquet of Sweet Peas for her and some cousins visiting them from Norway. The friendship of these two family lines goes back to 1908 and 1909 when Norwegian immigrants Oskar Stefensen and Joe Gulbraa chose homesteads close to each other. They helped each other and shared equipment back and forth. As the years passed and Oskar had no sons, he sent an appeal to his home country for any young Norwegians who would like to work on a

farm in Canada to contact him. Ole Raasok was one of the young fellows to respond. As time passed Ole began courting and then married Oskar’s daughter, Solveig Stefensen. The working relationship between the two farms

continued as Carl and Eunice Gulbraa and Ole and Solveig Raasok raised their families. The years rolled on as the next generation of Raasoks and Gulbraas began steering the machinery. Now into the fourth generation, the friendship

and camaraderie is still intact here in Canada and in Norway. The Norwegian visitors were Raasok cousins touching base with their Canadian friends and relatives. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Vialta Lodge resident Eunice Gulbraa (centre) holds a bouquet of Sweet Peas presented to her during a visit from Marlene and Marianne Raasok plus cousins from Norway. The relationship began with two farm families helping each other as neighbours in the early 1900s and continues to this day.

gain access to the attic or crawlspace of a house, raccoons may tear at broken shingles, soffits, and fascia boards. Once inside, raccoons can be noisy. There's also a risk that they'll chew wiring or block exhaust vents, creating a fire hazard,” the website says. The publication says raccoons are usually more of a nuisance than a cause of significant economic loss, though it says as raccoons become more abundant in Alberta, problems of bird depredation, disease transmission, and agricultural damage will increase. “Raccoons eat and contaminate feed, seed, and livestock supplements

with their feces and urine. Raccoons also damage gardens and field crops. They feed on melons, strawberries, peas, and potatoes, and they are especially fond of sweet corn. Raccoons damage corn by climbing the stalks and breaking stalks to reach the ears, pulling back the husks and partially eating the cob. Raccoons will attack poultry and are able to bring down birds as large as turkeys. They can pull down unsuspecting chickens by reaching through the mesh wire fence. Raccoons are also very adept at gaining access to weakened or open areas of a poultry pen,” the publication says.

Village of Irma street beautification makes its mark Patricia Harcourt Editor

A street beaufication project for Irma has paid off handsomely with a sparkling new main street for the village. CAO Kelly Larson said the $2 million project was funded from savings the village had set aside over time, along with funding from the Canada Community Building Fund (CCBF), Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funding (which ended in 2024) and Local Government Fiscal Framework (LGFF) funding (which

replaced MSI). The village also received infrastructure funding from the M.D. of Wainwright, which Larson said “is a great supporter to the Village of Irma.” “Our project began before COVID-19 but the actual work started in 2022 when the sewer main was lined along the two blocks that make up our commercial portion of main street,” she said. “The other end of main street had a complete sewer and water line repair in 2011 and new street resurfacing at that time.”

Last year, the water line replacement entailed directional drilling parallel to the old line. Then the services were dug out from each property and connected to the new line. “That took the majority of the 2023 construction season for us,” she said. “This year, we began the final leg of our main street rehabilitation,” said Larson, with Fortis working along with the village and its engineer to design a new lighting plan and move overhead power lines underground. Lighting services were installed in May

and June, new sidewalks went in from June to August, and new light poles were installed in July. The road rebuilding and resurfacing started in August and was completed in mid-September. “We are still doing some final touches with sign installation happening the week of Oct. 14 or so,” said Larson. “It has been a long process with many challenges along the way,” she added. “Our residents were very patient and can now see the value in what they have been waiting for.”

County agrees to start cementing roads in subdivisions Patricia Harcourt Road issues and policies occupied county council’s time at the regular meeting Sept. 18. Changes to the road use policy were made by rescinding the previous policy (PW-129) and passing Policy INFR-015 to take its place. “Utilized by both residents and non-residents alike county roadways are the heartbeat of the county,” asserted Dan Blackie, general manager of infrastructure. “It is crucial to protect and preserve the integrity of the roads regardless of the type of vehicle using them,” he added. Changes were made regarding clarification of specifics and additions such as haul routes, road bans, road use agreements, road users, and security bonds to ensure proper interpretation. The reference to heavy trucks was deleted in the new policy, “as it is captured in the type of traffic definitions,” stated Blackie, in his report. Plus, “the county utilizes a permit provider; however, (it) still retains the right to grant or withdraw approvals at any time,” he says. As for road use agreements, the report also stated that road use agreements must be in place 24-48 hours prior to the commencement of the haul. “Dependent on the type of haul, the county reserves the right to require a security bond,” stated the report, adding: “Administration will review the requested haul routes to ensure that the best options are chosen to minimize road damage.” Council also passed an amended road maintenance policy merging the former Bus Stop Turn-Around Policy into road maintenance. In order to affect this change, the Bus Stop TurnAround Policy PW-004 was rescinded. Then the amended policy INFR-014 for Road Maintenance was passed. The former bus stop policy was reviewed with the resulting recommendation that it be amalgamated into the Road Maintenance Policy. “The county recognizes the importance of school bus services in the community, and will ensure that turnaround areas are safe for travel,” Blackie told council. He noted that the bus stop turnaround policy was approved in 1995, and since then there are other school divisions which now operate in the county. For that reason administration “recommends granting equal opportunity to all school divisions.” County Council also passed a 2025 Road Construction Program but only after discussion based on Blackie’s recommendation that interior subdivision roads be cemented due to safety concerns.

Blackie stated that “administration has observed that there are growing safety concerns over the state of the roads in the west end subdivisions.” He told council that “many of them were oiled roads which administration no longer advises (be oiled) as they require too much maintenance and cannot accommodate the volume of traffic in these areas.” Subdivision were also in poor shape dur to the volume of traffic and heavy potable water trucks that regularly go through them. And trying to fix these interior roads has resulted in being “frequently verbally abused by irate residents who direct their resentment regarding the road conditions towards staff members who are merely trying to carry out duties,” said Blackie. “Administration places a strong priority on the physical safety and mental well being of our employees and this is a concern,” he said. He referred to a cementing project done seven years ago in Islet Lake which was still “in excellent shape.” And Carey Ridge Estates’ internal road was cemented last year. “Administration recommends that the county cement a few subdivision roads each year, beginning wit the ones in the worst condition,” he said. “If council does not wish to take this approach, then administration recommends that the roads be reclaimed to gravel.” Blackie began his report by calling this “a big topic,” noting that the 2024 construction program was not completed due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The left over construction projects will be carried over into 2025, he said. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) referred to the harassment of county employees while patching roads in the subdivisions. He wanted to know the cost of long in long term dust control in the estates before he approved a recommendation by administration. But Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) favoured the move, adding “Nobody pays more for roads than the subdivisions do.” Williams also asked Blackie if he felt they were “getting ahead…for all the time going into (subdivisions) to patch and patch.” “Absolutely not,” replied Blackie. “We’re going in there (to patch oiled roads) and our crews are getting yelled at.” He said hard surfaces from cementing does not have the same issues as oiling does. “It seems to me we’re getting nowhere on this,” said Williams. “It’s time to fix it.” A motion by Hrabec to choose Option 2 of the cementing created a great deal of discussion but failed to pass afterwards.

This option did not include cementing in the estates, but to do collateral roads, said Blackie. Hrabec said his compromise is that if time allows and council provides the budget roads in two estate roads could be done in 2025. He noted that there has been work in the east end of the county for the past three years. But Williams “I think I have to challenge your definition of compromise,” and if time permits, said Williams, adding that “there’s no way time is left over.” Williams preferred Option 1 of the two options given by Blackie for consideration. This option includes cementing roads in the estates. Williams said that “70 per cent of the terracem is (laid) in the eastern side,” of the county. “We’re throwing good money after bad,” he said, referring to “all the time and money” spent on patching roads in the county. “Patching (on oiled roads) doesn’t last two months, then you have to go back in and do it again. It’s basically wasting money,” said Williams. “I think 70 per cent on the eastern side of the county is more than fair,” but consideration for the west side of the county “is also fair.” Blackie added that neither Option 1 or 2 “compromises the east end” of the county. The work in the estates is their top issue, he said, referring to the negative reaction by residents to county workmen. Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) asked him if the residents would be notified about the county’s “big plans” for their estates’ roads in 2025. Blackie Continued on BCC4

Policy preventing unofficial talks between municipal officials fails to pass Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council sent its proposed new policy for councillor roles and responsibilities back to committee for further consideration. Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) provided the sticking point by pointing to a section prohibiting councillors from speaking to other municipal officials outside of official meetings. In referring to Section 34, Pederson told council

he “doesn’t see why we can’t have a discussion with someone else rather than *needing to) call a meeting…I don’t think it’s necessary,” he said, adding that “It’s going to happen anyway.” “I would like to see it deleted,” he said, of Section 34. Section 34 states that council and/or the reeve will only communicate with elected members of intergovernmental organizations, and may engage in discussions with senior

administrative officials from other municipalities only during intergovernmental meetings, and then only to exchange information. “Personal and e-mail communication beyond this forum is improper and undermines the relationship between the CAO and councillors,” states the policy. Section 34 also states that council and/or the reeve may communicate with senior executive officials of non-profit organi-

Holden Ag Society request for sponsorship Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council approved a 2024 ice arena gold sponsorship of up to $1,500 to the Holden Agricultural Society, with funding provided through the Community Support Requests program. Aimee Boese, manager of external relations and special projects, brought a request for support from the Holden Agricultural Society as an emerging item so there was no RFD in the public agenda package. With ice going into the rink at the Holden Complex there were sponsorship spots for groups and organizations to have their logo put in the ice itself and/or signs put up within the arena.

Subdivisions Continued from BCC1 replied that there are ways that it will be communicated to the public. With 60 per cent of the taxes paid in the county coming from the west end residents, Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) spoke in favour of Option 1 which includes cement on subdivision roads. He noted that there has already been “a great amount of work done there,” referring to the east end of the county. “Option 1 provides some action in the three subdivisions,” he said. “We’re already working on the hamlets and central/eastern ends.” Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson also said: “I’m happy with Option

The item came to council prior to the Community Support Program fall intake on Sept. 30 due to the ice being installed and logos for organizations having to go in at that time, she explained. So decisions have to be made prior to this deadline. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said he preferred the county contribute for a sign as it would then be hung in the Complex year-round. Boese said a Beaver County sign placed in the arena was not as time sensitive a contribution as opposed to having a logo put in the ice. A motion by Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) for Beaver County to purchase a sign with a gold

sponsorship of $1,500 was passed. In the first two months of 2024, the county and Village of Holden were asked to help pay for the power bills for the Complex as the ag society struggled due to the cost of power. At first, there was a question of not having ice for this 2024-25 hockey season, but the community and society rallied and determined to keep the ice and resulting hockey season going with sponsorships and other fundraisers. The first fundraiser for the Complex this season to keep operations going will be held on Nov. 23, said Boese, and will feature a Steak Night and Live Auction.

1,” after adding his approval of work being planned on Twp. Rd. 490. But Hrabec said it “makes more sense in the longer term” to cover the commuter roads (in Option 2) to benefit more residents instead of the estate roads (in Option 1). And he didn’t think how much an area in the county pays in taxes should be a factor in these kinds of decisions, asking for a recorded vote on his motion for the county to adopt Option 2. Hrabec’s motion was defeated 4-1 with Hrabec the only vote in favour. A new motion by Williams for council to adopt Option 1 for cementing projects that includes places in three

subdivisions was passed. The passed Option 1 will cement 10.5 miles of road in total for about $2.94 million, including the following: one mile in Whispering Hills Estate (51308 Rge. Rd. 195); one mile in Beaver Creek Estates (North Loop 50514 Rge. Rd. 202); one mile in Kingsway Estates (50106 Rge. Rd. 200); plus four miles on Twp. Rd. 490 from Hwy. 857 to Rge. Rd. 142; three miles on Twp. Rd. 490 from Hwy. 870 to Rge. Rd. 120; and, 0.5 miles on Rge. Rd. 200 from Hwy. 630 south behind Linbrook Store. The entire road construction program for 2025 icluded carry over projects and maintenance, as well as the cementing program.

zations and the private sector. Also, the reeve will be the signatory on all correspondence addressed to elected members of intergovernmental organizations. At council’s Sept. 18 meeting, Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 2) suggested Pederson could offer an amendment on the motion to pass the policy, “or vote accordingly,” to which Pederson replied: “I will vote against it.” Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) agreed with Pederson and asked: “Who’s going to police that,” giving an example of a councillor having a chance discussion with a mayor. “We should be professional enough that we know we can’t promise anything,” he said, pointing out that all of council has to vote on a motion to make any decision official. Also voicing his disagreement with the section was Councillor Lionel

Williams (Division 2). He suggested that during discussions the other person could be told that: “Official county decisions are done only at inter-governmental meetings.” CAO Kayleena Spiess said administration is trying to prevent “talking to another government official about government business.” Spiess said the county’s Code of Conduct policy would police this prohibition. “Of course, (you can) build a relationship with a fellow municipal official,” she said, but cautioned on what is being said when one official talks to an administrator from another municipality. “I’m in support of the motion (to pass the policy),” said Smook. “We have a CAO for a reason,” with the CAO representing official positions and decisions. “Unofficial discussion shouldn’t happen,” he said.

Pederson offered that the section might work if other municipalities agreed, but added it would be difficult to break off a conversation once a topic is broached. He felt it would be better, “if it was just out of there,” referring to deleting that section. “We already have a Code of Conduct which deals with that (issue),” said Hrabec, making the section redundant. Smook said a complaint can be lodged with the Code of Conduct and its procedural conduct policies. The motion to pass the proposed new Councillor Roles and Responsibilities Policy was defeated. A motion by Hrabec to bring the policy back to the Governance and Priorities Committee meeting for further discussion about Section 34 in the policy was passed. The next GPC meeting is scheduled for Oct. 2.
