Beaver Municipal Solutions celebrates Waste Reduction Week, launches AgPlastics Moush John Tofield Mercury
This past Wednesday, Oct. 23, Beaver Municipal Solutions (BMS) invited community members and BMS executives to commemorate
Waste Reduction Week, Oct. 21-27, but more importantly to launch their latest diversion program, AgPlastics, which would include collection of grain bags and twine. Cutting the ribbon at the facility was Tammy
Shields of Clean Farms, western regional program coordinator, who was present to give a more detailed insight into the new pilot program. “We’re really excited about this program,”
Shields said, displaying some of the ag recycling bags. The transparent bags
that were clearly marked with instructions read: Shake to remove debris, separate twine from
other ag film and pack tightly, and return to your collection site. Continued on Page 5
It’s not too late to pay tribute to our veterans. Be a part of our Remembrance Day issue on Nov. 6th.

Loose Ends: I’ve got an angel; he’s got guys
Carol Livingstone Tofield Mercury Columnist
I believe that when people reach a certain age they just plain grow tired of doing the same chores
over and over. So they start doing them less frequently and eventually stop some altogether. It has nothing to do with laziness, just boredom. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. With me it was housework. I kept putting off the vacuuming and dusting and then finally stopped completely, not a good thing even in a household of two. Then I had my knees to blame it on; even when I wanted
to houseclean, I couldn’t. Hubby stepped in at some point, I think it was a survival thing; the dust was so thick it looked like snow. And we were both sneezing a lot. But he got to where he was tired of doing his chores and mine too, and I didn’t blame him. As far as I was concerned he had grounds for divorce. Lucky for me he didn’t have the energy to trade me in for two 30-yearolds. Instead we hired

someone to ‘do’ for us. I don’t know what the preferred title is, housekeeper, cleaning lady, for us she is a true angel from Heaven and worth every penny we pay her and more. Our present angel is our second; the first had to move to the city with her family, despite our tears and offers to adopt her. We were lucky to replace her before our withdrawal symptoms landed us in rehab. It is wonder-
Continued from Page 3 “Waste Reduction Week is important to all of us at Beaver Municipal Solutions as we all have a part to play in taking care of our planet and ensuring there are resources for future generations,” Ruzicka said. “We encourage everyone to follow the 3Rs hierarchy – reduce, reuse and recycle; by reducing the amount of waste generated in the
first place or reusing items before disposing of them, there is less waste to deal with.” The AgPlastics program will ensure that twine and grain bags are kept out of the landfill and recycled into something more useful, being a win-win for all within the cycle. “Recycling is the third R and should be considered as the last resort before disposal,” Ruzicka added. “Unfortunately
not everything falls into the 3Rs’ categories so we still have waste to deal with; this waste needs to go somewhere and it is Beaver Municipal Solutions’ vision to ensure the safe disposal of waste.” BMS Chairperson Brian Ducherer expressed his pride as well at the launch of the new pilot program, and said that he was happy that Beaver Municipal Solutions could get this pioneer initiative underway.

all angels. But for some reason Hubby hasn’t hired a grass-mowing guy; I think he needs something to complain about. And boy, does he complain! He’s threatened to turn it into a parking lot but I think come spring, he’d rather call the lawn guy. He shouldn’t feel guilty about wanting to relax and be just a retired guy. I have no regrets about being just a retired gal.

Alberta: fewest MPs per capita in Canada
EDITORIAL Kerry Anderson Tofield Mercury Publisher
One of the most glaring flaws with the Canadian federal election last week (aside from the results) was when many Albertans noticed for the first time that Atlantic Canada had almost the same amount of seats in the House of Commons as our home province, yet a population just over half of Alberta’s. Because Canada’s election is supposed to be based solely on population, with little regard for provincial or territorial boundaries, that seemed weird so I thought I would compare populations to seats in the House of Commons. Atlantic Canada gets 32 Members of Parliament (MP), with a population of 2.4 million. Alberta
gets 34 MPs with a population of 4.3 million. That means the Atlantic provinces get an MP for every 75,000 people. In Alberta, we get an MP for every 126,000 people – the lowest representation per capita in Canada. Ontario has a population of roughly 14.5 million people and receives a seat in the House of Commons for every 120,000 people (121 total). In Quebec there is a population of 8.4 million and they receive 78 seats, or one for every 108,000 people. Manitoba has 1.35 mented to come up million people and with these numbers? receives 14 seats, or one for every 97,000 people. In Saskatchewan A t l a n t i c there is a population Canada gets 32 of 1.17 million people MPs with a and they also receive 14 seats – one for population of each 84,000 people. 2.4 million.

”
population), Northwest Territories (44,000), and Nunavut (38,000), have the most MPs per capita, but together they represent an area larger than Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan put together. In other words, three MPs cover an area of 3.8 million square kms, if you can believe. Now, if each province had the
same amount of representatives per capita as Alberta, it would mean Ontario would have five less MPs, Quebec would have 12 less MPs, Atlantic provinces would have 13 less MPs, Manitoba three less, Saskatchewan five less, and BC two less. In other words, what the hell? However, if you think it would change the election results you would be
wrong. Even if everyone had the same per capita representation as Alberta, the Liberals would have won 136 seats, Conservatives 111, NDP 21, Bloc 27, Green 2 and Ind. 1. In this format there would be 298 seats in the House of Commons. Though the results would be the same, it might be easier to take without the unexplainable disparity.

Sijmen Bosma of Bardo Lutheran on his third year of Guatemalan Mission trip Moush John Tofield Mercury
Tofield’s Sijmen Bosma used to be a pig farmer, but not anymore. After retiring and selling his farm three years back, Bosma has committed himself to helping people in need, whether it’s in the community, in Edmonton, or Nebaj, Guatemala. “I went for the first time to Guatemala in 2007 with a group from my church – Bardo Lutheran,” Bosma recalled. “And again in 2017 and 2018, ten years later with a group from
Guelph, Ont., and realized I could help, so this year in spring I led a group with members from all over the province and we went to Nebaj to help build a hospital there.” With mostly retired farmers from as far as Fairview and Didsbury, who Bosma considers his friends, he led the mission this year. “It’s important to spread the word, and create awareness of the kind of help that’s needed there,” Bosma said. “The hospital construction started in 2015, and we are trying to get it com-
pleted as soon as we can, but for that we need more help.” In October, Bosma made a road trip to Toronto with used dental equipment donated by Dr. Albert Voravong, who has a dental practice in town. He made sure that the equipment reached in time for it to be shipped with other material to Guatemala, a task taken on by another group, and also a partner of Missionary Ventures Canada, who Bosma works closely with. “Due to increasing need for healthcare among the people in the
area, the clinic’s space is not enough, so it’s important that the facility is expanded into a full-fledged hospital,” Bosma explained. “The building effort relies heavily on donations and the efforts of others to fund and finish this project. We are grateful for any assistance we receive.” On Sunday, Nov. 3, Bosma will be reuniting with his group members at the Tofield’s Bardo Lutheran Church. “We want to relive the moments from this spring and also create some awareness.”

Tofield Legion kicks off poppy campaign Moush John Tofield Mercury
Despite the chilly weather on Friday morning, Oct. 25, Tofield Legion members and dignitaries, along with members of the Sea Cadets headed to the Cenotaph on Main Street to initiate this year’s poppy campaign. “Each year our poppy campaign starts on the last Friday of October and goes on until Remembrance Day,” said Secretary Bonnie Ferguson. “After we’ve collect all the trays from the various places in town and some places outside the county, we collect the funds and put them in a local poppy fund.” Ferguson outlined that even though the campaign strts only towards the end of October, the poppies have to be ordered way before with the supplies coming in by the end of August. “In September we invite dignitaries to our local Nov.11 service and begin planning it,” Ferguson added. “In addi-
tion we have the Remembrance Literary and Poster contest, and for Remebrance Day we have to attend schools and community services. This year we have four schools, which we will be dividing among the members.” Even though this might seem to be the busiest time, the Tofield branch keeps busy with special events such as the Burns Night, St. Patrick’s Day, Decoration Day and Canada Day. “We also participate in Ryley Sports Day and Holden Farmers’ Day parades, and try to represent the legion in community functions whenever possible,” Ferguson noted. “All our expenditures are reported to Command, but if a veteran needs assistance that the branch does not have funds for, other branches may be asked to pool in resources.” Ferguson listed that some of the veteran uses could include immediate assistance with food, shelter,medication, medical supplies, and trans-
portation, besides any veteran comforts. “Once a year we are allowed to finance a veteran’s appreciation supper for camaraderie,” Ferguson stated. “It’s Continued on Page 14

Viking refused $27,000 in support for new Carena floor - get $2,500 instead Patricia Harcourt The Town of Viking was rebuffed by Beaver County Council when a capital request for $27,500 came in under the county's Community Supports program. The amount was half of the $55,000 cost to refinish the floor of the Viking Carena Complex lobby, main floor bathrooms and kitchen area. The county's community development department, under which the supports program is run, recommended giving the town $26,125, as the request had incorrectly included the GST. Located within Viking, the Carena is used by both urban and rural residents. Population figures for both jurisdictions are about 50/50, hence the request for the county to pay half of the money needed for the upgrade. However, Beaver Council did not see it that way at the Oct. 16 regular meeting, slashing the amount requested to $2,500. Council then made a point of stating that the funding was contingent upon receiving receipts for the work. Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson said he didn't support the requested amount, men-
tioning the fact that a sign had just been put up outside the Carena, "but now they want funds for inside work." Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) said he was in the Carena recently, "and I saw nothing wrong with the floors." He noted that the object of the new floor is to make it less slippery, "but for $26,000 they can get a lot of sweepers." The motion to give $2,500 by Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) was passed unanimously. At the same meeting, the Town of Viking received the requested $1,500 for markers to be placed on unmarked graves in the Viking Cemetery, which is located within the county just outside of town. And a request by the Viking Lions Club for the county to provide $2,500 for upgrades to Camp Gary, a day use public area east of Viking, was granted. Ryley Community Preschool A decision on a request from the Ryley Preschool for a $3,500 annual grant was deferred to the special county council meeting set for Nov. 6. The Ryley Preschool will attend and present information about the proposal to hire a full time educational assistant on

Councillor Bruce stated that the government should have daycare and childcare policies in place to help these childcare providers. "I think preschool and childcare is absolutely essential," said Bruce, adding the government gives tax breaks to oil companies. He recommended the province should invest in childcare spaces noting many
can't afford to put their children into childcare because of subsistence wages. "I don't think local government should have to pick up the costs," he said. "I think they (provincial officials) are totally out of touch." Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) noted that the Village of Ryley has put no funding into the Ryley Preschool. "We might get them here to explain it." Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) said, "I respect my fellow
councillors and their concerns about whose role it is to provide funding for this," before making a motion to provide the requested $2,500. And in line with county policy, he said this allows another municipality to chip in the other $1,000. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec agreed with Smook and Bruce's comments on the province's downloading of its responsibilities onto the local jurisdictions. Referring to Ryley Preschool, he said. "This
group does great work with kids from Ryley, Holden and Tofield." Smook tabled his motion "until the November council meeting, or after Ryley Preschool can come in and speak" to council. This motion was carried. The Tofield Country Quilters were allowed their request for $1,900 to purchase two ironing boards, a large self healing cutting mat, an electric fabric cutter and cutter template.

Camrose Open Doors Association visits Beaver County Patricia Harcourt Jessica Hutton, executive director of the Camrose Open Door Association, explained to Beaver County Council the support for youth age 11 to 24 through its regional non-profit organization. Hutton stated that “there’s a pretty significant number of kids coming from this area,� who are getting help from the association. “We are seeing some major issues surrounding kids in this area.� Open Door has seen an increase in youth from Beaver County, she said, and have helped over 10 young people from the county in the last year. Hutton warned of “major problems� involving youth in the region, with cocaine coming back as a drug of choice. “We’re seeing some pretty scary numbers,� she said. Hutton listed the programs offered by Open Door including outreach programs in Tofield and Killam. The programs “offer support, effective services and a safe place for youth in need to grow and transition into successful adulthood, becoming contributing members of society.� Youth in crisis can be connected with needed supports very quickly, and often come into the shelter very traumatized, she said. She invited council to “please come to me� if they needed any help in their communities regarding youth issues. Backsloping Council approved the following backsloping projects for completion in the fall of 2019, including: NE 28-47-124; SE 28-47-12-4; and, SW 27-47-12-4. Viking/Beaver Dust Control Agreement Council approved the dust control agreement with the Town of Viking. After agreements were developed under the Viking/Beaver Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework, the county and town
County Continued from BCC1 noted that the club makes quilts that are donated to the local hospital. "You can't put a value on what they do," said Reeve Kallal, calling the quilters "guardian angels of the community." And council agreed to give the Tofield Student Support Society half of the funds requested, or $1,500, to go towards new literacy reading books and book projectors. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec made the suggestion of paying for half of the cost, as the Town of Tofield had not been asked to pay for any of the costs. "We could pay half and ask Tofield to
administrations saw the need for a dust control agreement as well. “The county has provided dust control within the town’s jurisdiction in the past and it is advisable to formalize this arrangement under an agreement,� stated Assistant CAO Margaret Jones, adding: “The agreement will be included in the ICF. “The dust control agreement authorizes county staff to apply calcium chloride on roads specified by the town on an as needed basis at 100 per cent cost recovery,� said Jones, noting the Town of Viking approved the agreement in October. Deputy Reeve Opposes Easement In a split decision, council agreed to waive the 60-day waiting period for registration of a conservation easement on S 1/2 of 3-46-11-W4 in Division 5. Ducks Unlimited Canada proposes to register a conservation easement for that 316 acre about five miles south of Kinsella adjacent to S.H. 870 and Twp. Rd. 480. Assistant CAO Margaret Jones stated that, “the purpose of the conservation easement is to ensure the protection, in perpetuity, of the natural features of the land as they exist and change through natural processes, by restricting land uses that would diminish the ecological value of the land.� However, Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec said he opposed a motion by Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson to accept the request, because it would “land lock the property for life and takes it out of agricultural production.� The motion by Pederson passed 4-1, with Hrabec opposed. Flagstaff/Beaver ICF/IDP Deadline Extension Council agreed to authorize the submission of a joint letter with Flagstaff County to the Minister of Municipal Affairs asking for an extension to April 1, 2021 to complete the See COUNCIL BCC3 cover the other half," he said, adding that "probably the students are half urban and half rural." The motion was passed to give $1,500 subject to matching funding from the Town of Tofield and subject to receipts being submitted for the books and projectors purchased. A motion by Councillor Bruce was passed to give the Big Picture Theatre Foundation $2,500 to assist in operating costs of the foundation for the 2019-2020 season. "I think they provide entertainment and some education for the community," said Bruce, adding "it's a small amount that keeps them going." Reeve Kallal agreed that the county "should support arts in the community."

Council Continued from BCC2
Flagstaff/Beaver County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework and Intermunicipal Development Plan. The agreements were supposed to be in place by April 1, 2020 according to the Municipal Government Act.
Assistant CAO Margaret Jones said the deadline may be difficult to meet as discussions have not yet begun and “given the number of rural ICFs and IDPs to complete.” Tax Recovery Property Council authorized administration to take title of a tax recovery property , “and take all necessary steps and actions to market the property for recovery of
costs, as outlined in the MGA, and Tax Recovery Policy.” Asset Management Policy Council approved the Asset Management Policy which is designed to “confirm council’s leadership role in determining levels of service, providing stable funding for repair and replacement, and accountability to residents for implemen-
have a safe and...
tation of the policy.” Staff will develop an asset inventory of buildings, vehicles, equipment, road network, sewage systems, campgrounds, information technology systems, and other assets of the county. After that an asset management strategy will be implemented and assets will be maintained along with a replacement schedule.

We Value Your Input Beaver County, the Towns of Tofield and Viking, and the Village of Holden, have prepared amendments to their Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs).
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).
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.
To avoid line-ups, please consider early remittance. Postdated cheques are being accepted.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Beaver Regional Arts Society celebrates its 40th season Christine Mackay Guest Contributor
As Beaver Regional Arts Society enters its 40th season, it will be presenting some amazing shows. All performances will be taking place at the Paragon Theatre, Holden, which has been our home for 37 years. The Beaver Regional Arts Society was formed in 1976 and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 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 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 some of the best in Country, Folk, Gospel, Blues, Classical, Jazz, and Coral Music, as well as Dance, Theatre, and Comedy. None of this would have been possible without the dedication, hard work and financial contri-
butions of those involved in making this dream a reality. This season features the Emeralds Show and
Dance Band on Nov. 10, Opry Gold on Dec. 1, Arrival: ABBA Tribute band on Feb. 23, and the Canadian Country Music Leg-
ends on March 22. All performances are on Sunday at 2 p.m., and will be followed by supper prepared by a com-
munity group. Anniversary cake and punch will be served during intermission at all four performances.

Remember When
THE OWEN FAMILY: The Owen family emigrated to the North Cooking Lake district from Llanfair, Wales. Cecil and Iorwerth were twins. Along with younger brother Hector, they enlisted with the 51st Battalion on Aug. 21, 1915 in Edmonton. Their service numbers were in consecutive order. The three of them sailed from Halifax on the SS Missanabie April 18, 1916. They were transferred to 15th Battalion on the field. Hector would be the first of the brothers to be wounded; a shrapnel wound to the right hand on Sept. 6, 1916. He returned to the unit on Sept. 15. While convalescing in England, it is believed Hector’s true age was discovered – he was only 17. He was transferred back to Canada and sent to the Military Hospital in Calgary with rheumatic fever in Sept., 1917, being discharged in Nov. of that year. Iorwerth was evacuated to 49th Casualty Clearing Station with gunshot wounds on Sept. 29; he would succumb to these injuries at the age of 20. Cecil escaped injury until Aug. 15, 1917. He was admitted to No. 18 Casualty Clearing Station with gunshot wounds to the arm and abdomen. He would not return to the field, being assigned light duty in England until he was demobilized on May 14, 1919.

vironment and mingle with one another. “We just wanted to give local businesses an opportunity to get to know the other businesses in town,” said Sue Muma, secretary at the Tofield Chamber of Commerce. “Unfortuantely, we didn’t have a big turnout and the attendance was lower than we expected, so the networking benefits of the event ended up being far greater than the exposure we were hoping all participants would get.” Considering it was an informal business mixer, Muma was happy that Beaver County councillor Kevin Smook and Mayor of Tofield Deb Dueck were able to visit. “We were happy to welcome dignitaries like Kevin Smook and Deb Dueck, and local business owner Dave Hare of IGA,” Muma added. “Dave Spilchen of Spilchen Consulting Services Ltd. was really happy and said it was a big opportunity for him that he was able to interact and connect with so

Interiors, Last Chance Bar & Grill, Golden Club, Spilchen Consulting Services Ltd., and Kelly A. Kristensen Barrister & Solic-
itor. The 15 local businesses and organizations also networked among themselves and got to know each other. “I started here in the community of Tofield in 2011, and since then my practice has grown,” said Dr. Peter Yoo, who owns the local dental practice The Tooth Doctor. “I was seeing that a lot of residents had to travel to get some procedures done, so we have brought some state-fothe-art techniques and try to provide as much
local services we can.” In 2018, Sharon Klassen started up her business to stage properties, whether residential or commercial, to maximize returns on investments. “I work with my customers and the first consultation is always about knowing what they want and we fill up a detailed booklet together so that I have all the information,” Klassen said. “It’s been a wonderful and satisfying journey.”
