Viking School Principal presents update for council Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking School Principal Adam Madsen provided an update for Viking Council Sept. 3 as part of a mandate to increase communication and information to the community.

Smaller class sizes are providing some planning challenges, he said, explaining that the number of students tend to fluctuate but are mainly on a downward trend at this time.

The challenge for the school is how to offer subjects like the sciences when class sizes are small, and "keep the pathways open for secondary students."

This year, Vice-Principal Kelly Arial has become the Grade 3 teacher and Madsen will be teaching Chemistry 20 and 30 instead of Physics. And he said that a slight decrease in teaching staff has been offset by a slight increase in support staff.

"We're definitely not being disadvantaged," he said. "We're in the very same position as other schools in the division."

The Viking School has two new opportunities that Madsen was excited about, including the high school redesign program and dual credit program.

The redesign program is a way of re-thinking or re-imagining delivery of programs. Starting this fall, students can be part of a credit recovery program where they can complete more credits in a certain block of time. By taking several minutes out of each regular class time, a half-hour block of time has been carved out from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. where students can either do home work or access teachers for extra help.

"We've created time during the day to give extra support to students who need it," said Madsen.

"We had extremely positive

reviews about it last year and will continue it this year.

With the dual credit program, students can earn credits to their high school diploma as well as a post secondary course. Battle River School Division pays the tuition fees for the post secondary course.

"They will complete a college course for free," he said, adding there are "a huge variety of credit courses available."

Madsen said he was "pretty excited about it," citing the case of two students who will get a health care certificate from Red Deer College while still in high school.

Students can start this program in Grade 10.

"As a small rural school we look for opportunities (like that)‌in order to keep the Kindergarten to Grade 12 school."

With French language instruction now an optional course, the school offers a relationship and social skills building course called the Mentorship Program.

"It is absolutely an excellent program," he said, which has older students mentoring with younger ones in the school.

The school also faces challenges hiring experienced teachers.

"We're a small town in rural Alberta," he said. As the principal, "I have hired zero veteran teachers in the last six years."

So it is the younger teachers who are recruited. "We need to help make them welcome and stay," he said.

Another challenge is offering programs with reduced student numbers. The student population has fallen by 75 students since Madsen started six years ago, when there were 325 students.

He said there has been a slight decrease in student numbers over the last school year.

This year, there are 249 students enrolled which includes 126 from

Kindergarten to Grade 6, and 123 from Grade 7-12. Final enrolment figures aren't completed until the end of September.

But the trend is "graduating out a large class and taking in a small one," said Madsen. "We need some future thinking to make it work."

In response, the school is combining classes where that is an effective strategy, such as putting Grades 7 and 9 together for health, physical education and art; and Grade 8 and 9 for French/Mentorship. Art will be combined for 10/20/30 classes, which Madsen says works well as a larger group.

Madsen also said some issues aren't so easily communicated to the public due to privacy issues.

He noted that the parental and community perception appears to be that "there is a lot of bullying and nothing gets done," about dealing with it. Madsen called it "a major challenge" as there are privacy issues that prevent telling anyone what measures have been taken concerning a particular incident.

"We can't tell anyone other than the parents," he said. "The same goes for complaints about teachers."

Students face other challenges that hinder their learning experience such as poverty, hunger, and mental health.

Madsen said his mission for this school year is to address these kinds of issues, raise the profile of the school, and share some of the innovative activities and programs the school is undertaking.

Viking councillors brought up issues such as teaching students financial literacy, having breakfast programs, and increasing physical activity to keep students healthy.

Madsen replied that he was "willing to look at anything" to augment the school experience for students.

Kids recently headed back to school for the 20192020 year, and changes have been made this year in Viking School to enhance the learning experience, says Principal Adam Madsen.

Holden issues statement regarding rumours of council resignations Patricia Harcourt Editor

Village of Holden CAO Sherry Garbe issued a statement denying rumours of resignations by some councillors in the village's latest newsletter. She also answered some other questions residents may have concerning village affairs.

"I am aware of the recent concerns and rumours going around the village about three councillors resigning, and then the most recent one that the mayor resigned," stated Garbe, in her statement.

"During the council meeting held on Monday, Aug. 19, there were no resignation(s) handed in," she said. "The rules set out in the Municipal Government Act Section 161(1) states that the resignation of a councillor must be in writing and given to the chief administrative officer and as of August 28, 2019 I have not received any resignation(s)."

Garbe also clarified an issue of how many employees the village pays wages for by stating: "The village only pays for three full time employees. The other two ladies in the office are employed through FCSS and Healthy Families and are paid by them."

Another issue was an accusation that Garbe had entered residential property "to look around which was captured

on video." Garbe stated that, as the development authority for the village, she is authorized to enter properties to post notices or stop orders.

"If there is video of me on a property other than to post a notice or stop order, I would like to see it," she said, adding: "Just drop a copy in the mail."

She also confirmed that there has been no offer to purchase a property at 5024 - 49 Avenue.

This statement follows on the heels of one made last month by Holden Mayor Douglas Hanson in the same newsletter where he discusses the problems at council.

"Our council, as well as the CAO, are expected to not only follow the Council Code of Conduct, the MGA, and the bylaws, and are expected to behave with transparency, accountability as well as honesty," Hanson wrote.

"We are all expected to be able to stand behind our decisions with facts and with integrity, and foremost, with the best intentions of our community."

Village taxpayers will have to pay a $1,466.32 deductible "to repair the side wall of the administration building," he said, for actions he described as "extremely disrespectful."

He also thanked those who are attending the council meetings, noticing there has been an increase in public attendance. "It is a phenomenal sight to see," he said.

Viking passes agreements with county Patricia Harcourt Editor

Intergovernmental Collaboration Framework (ICF) agreements were passed by Viking Council Sept. 3 for inter-municipal road maintenance and the town airport.

Both involve agreements needed with Beaver County.

The two items had been tabled at the town's previous meeting, with councillors having issues on both ICFs, which are mandated by the Municipal Government Act for neighbouring jurisdictions.

CAO Don McLeod told council he met with the county's Assistant CAO Margaret Jones to discuss the issues.

He stated that the breakdown for each municipality's share in paying for the airport's operating deficit was based on population. The latest census figures for 2016 gave 52.4 per cent of the population as being from the county rural areas, and 49.76 per cent from the town.

The Viking Airport is owned and operated by the town but is located in Beaver County, which gets taxes from the airport hangars located there.

Councillor Dana Ewashko felt it was easier for each to pay out 50/50 in the agreement but McLeod explained the county has to be equal in its approach. "It isn't just Viking, they have lots of other agreements," he said.

McLeod suggested the town could do what other airports do and impose a rental fee on the people with hangars at the airport to help cover town costs.

He also said the county would pay 50 per cent for any major renovations at the airport under its community support program.

The road maintenance ICF was also passed regarding two roads that lie within both the jurisdiction of the town and the county. These include Range Road 130 and Twp. Rd. 480, with the agreement stating that the town's portion of each would be maintained to the county's level of service for an annual payment of $4,402, plus GST. Earlier, Viking Council did not agree to the annual fee of $2,100 for the rechipping and ter-

CLAN MALCOLM MANOR

racem, which is a yearly budget item paid to the county when the work needs to be done so there is no extra cost to the urban municipality.

Some Viking councillors did not like giving the county funds to keep in trust for the town, citing the fact the town could keep it and collect interest. However, McLeod said the amount of interest would be minimal compared to the other benefits of an annual payment.

"It makes no difference to the county - Viking can either include this as a yearly budget line or pay a lump sum in the future," he said, in his

report.

"I recommend the yearly budget, then we are not surprised 15 years down the road by a $35,000 bill for road repair," he said.

He told council: "It makes better sense to put it out annually…It stays in the fund and the county uses it to allocate costs."

As for the road construction template, it would only be used if the town had the county do construction work.

"The county is only asking us to approve the template in principle," he said.

Opinion Quit shooting the messenger Governments, institutions, boards and unions continue to grow.

As they do, they demand more and more control. The more control they get, the larger they get, and the smaller the little people.

You know the little people right? It’s you, me and Uncle Clem.

It’s us taxpayers… the ones whose money it is that pays the salaries of these people who work within their self-made system thick with multiple layers of bureaucracy. We’re the people “public servants” work for, though you’d never know it sometimes.

Just last week a simple article in one of our Caribou newspapers promoting school activities in a positive way, was chastised for not first getting approval from the proper authorities within the school system.

News flash: We don’t work for the school system.

I asked if the facts were wrong in the story? No. I asked if it was a private document in which the information was attained from?

No. I asked if the person was misquoted? No. Okay so what is the problem?

The article gave information important to parents about the upcoming school year, and the facts were taken from a newsletter sent out to parents online. In other words, shareable information.

So if the school system had a problem and it wasn’t with the topic, or information, or quotes, then the only thing left that they could have a problem with is “lack of control.”

But really, is the goal to control everything? We pay taxes so the school system can operate. Was controlling information we receive back, a part of what we agreed to pay for?

And what does it say about our system when those people in charge of teaching our children about free speech, are themselves not entitled to give their own opinions?

According to the school board: “Our administration procedures state principals and teachers cannot act as media spokespeople without first checking with Communications.”

Is that sterile and institutionalized enough for you?

Of course school boards are not alone. Friends in the business have told stories of their local governments threatening to stop doing business with newspapers who go “rogue” by presenting facts independently to the public without administrative editing. In other words they want the public to get their version of the facts, while threatening to withhold public money to do so.

I think we can be thankful in this area that municipal governments are aware of the importance of transparency.

Another phenomenon unique to this millennium are the number of RCMP detachments in the habit of not returning calls from local media, then complain that the facts were wrong or have jeopardized their cases. The media is mostly trying to confirm information with police for the very purpose of not getting the facts wrong.

A free press can be a collaborator, but it also has to be a watchdog. Do we really want a world where all of our institutions are placing their own news (facts as they see it) on their own websites, providing the little people with what they want us to know and nothing more? It’s already happening folks.

Are we sick yet, of large institutions treating us like we are in a teacher/pupil relationship and have no choice of our own? We’re your bosses, damn it. (Opinion expressed without permission).

Hon. Kevin Sorenson, M.P., (Battle River-Crowfoot)

Goodbye and Thank You It is with a very heavy heart that I write the last column of my 19-year career as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Battle River-Crowfoot. Since first being elected in 2000, I have been submitting my bi-weekly column to all local weekly newspapers. I am extremely grateful to those papers who consistently ran the column which allowed me to regularly connect with my constituents. I thank each of you for giving me the opportunity to circulate important information and provide critiques on government legislation and polices, the economic well-being of the country or international affairs. I have endeavoured to continually provide timely facts and figures which I believe is crucial for constituents be informed about the state of federal affairs.

Early on in my Parliamentary career, I learned that I needed to reach out to constituents through various means and as often as possible. While nothing can replace the importance and pleasure of meeting with constituents in person at community events or in my constituency office; columns, quarterly Reports from Parliament, letters, emails, telephone calls, and in later years, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter postings, have led to a vital exchange of ideas, and information between the residents of Battle River-Crowfoot and me.

Without that dialogue, I could not have adequately represented the views of my constituents in Ottawa which is the most important part of being an MP in a democratic country such as Canada.

To the best of my ability, I ensured this constituency’s voice was heard in the nation’s capital. In some cases, the views

of Battle River-Crowfoot residents were at odds with other parts of the country.

While this was not surprising, it was rather alarming that those views were not always respected. I have always fully recognized and respected the fact that there is always going to be divergent views on a multitude of issues.

And, I have appreciated that others are every bit as passionate as I in defending their position. I, however, unlike members of the Liberal government, have never chastised anyone for stating their beliefs as I also respect our Constitutional right to freedom of speech (and thought).

In the wake of one Liberal minister’s recent public rebuke of a point of view on an issue of importance to many people, I received an overwhelming number of letters, emails and phone calls.

One constituent wrote, “coming under attack for such beliefs shows that the Liberal government does not believe in true free speech, but instead a freedom of speech where you can believe and say what you like, as long as it corresponds with Liberal policies and mindsets.”

As I say good-bye and thank you for the honour of representing you for close to two decades, I leave you with the most important lesson I have learned: you may disagree with another’s position or point of view; you may passionately debate the merits of your point of view; but at the end of the argument, you should always respect the other person. This is a very big and diverse country where everyone is entitled to their opinions and they are entitled to state their position without fear of reprisal or condemnation.

Word on the Street: threats uttered toward pet On August 27, a citizen contacted the police advising they saw a person inside a vacant residence. Members attended the reported location and found it secure and no one inside. The citizen called police back and advised they reported the wrong location.

On August 28, Viking RCMP received a fax from a male subject, the letter was nonsensical rambling.

The subject is known to police for this behaviour.

That afternoon, police received a complaint of fraud. The complainant had sent cheques to his landlord; however, the landlord did not receive the cheques. The cheques were cashed at a location in Edmonton by an unknown male. This matter is still under investigation.

That same day, police received a complaint of someone uttering threats to harm their pet.

Members spoke with all parties involved and the suspect stated that she is frustrated with the pet owner’s animals coming onto her property. The suspect was warned about the way she expressed her feels towards this situation as it could be misunderstood as a harmful threat and charges could be laid.

On August 29, members received a complaint of found property. The complainant found an ATM and plastic folders that appear to belong to lottery tickets. Members attended the location and seized the property. It is believed the property is from a break and enter that occurred a few days earlier in Viking.

On August 30, police responded to a hit and run at the Post Office in Viking. The complainant advised that a truck struck the rails, fence, and sign board at the post office and drove away. Members attended the location and upon speaking to witnesses the driver was identified. The 76-year-old male was located and has been charged under the Traffic Safety Act for failing to remain at the scene of a collision.

That evening, a complaint of fraud was received.

The complainant contacted the police stating that she received information on the internet that appeared to be from a relative of her deceased husband, stating that she was eligible for Facebook Financial Assistance. The complainant engaged the

subject who then was told that she would receive a large sum of money she just needed to provide google play gift cards or bit coin. Once the complainant realized this was a scam she contacted the police. Police determined that the names and phone numbers provided to the complainant were likely VOIP numbers and using hacking profiles to gain the trust of victims, likely originating from criminals in India.

That same evening a vehicle was stopped for speeding, while conducting checks on the driver of the vehicle it was determined he did not have a driver’s licence. The 37-year-old male was charged with driving while unauthorized and speeding.

The male is to appear in Vegreville Provincial Court at a later date to answer to the charge.

In the early morning hours of August 31, police responded to a complaint of mischief in progress.

The complainant had witnessed a dark coloured truck pull up to J & L Automotive and start attempting to grind off a trailer hitch on a vehicle located in the parking lot. The complainant then turned on his outside light and he yelled at the suspect, who then fled the area. Members made extensive patrols and advised neighbouring detachments but were unable to locate the vehicle in question. Police want to remind people to always contact police and to never put themselves in harm's way when witnessing any criminal activity.

On September 3, police received a complaint of stolen property. The complainant stated that over the past several months property has gone missing.

During one of the occurrences the complainant stated she witnessed someone in her yard. Due to the complainant not contacting the police during the time of the occurrences it makes it difficult to com-

Mykityshyn celebrated along with other senior award nominees Patricia Harcourt Editor

Long-time Viking volunteer Pam Mykityshyn was celebrated along with 37 other nominees who are up for a Minister's Seniors Service Award. The event took place on Monday, Sept. 9, in Edmonton.

The Minister’s Seniors Service Awards honour Albertans who improve the lives of seniors and their communities through volunteer service. This year, 38 individuals and eight organizations are nominated throughout Alberta.

An additional seven nominees will be recognized for the Alice Modin Award. More than 30 years ago, Modin launched a campaign for a seniors day in Strathcona County that paved the way for a province-wide Seniors’

Week. The Alice Modin Award was created in her name to honour a senior who has provided long-term service to their community.

“All over Alberta,

dedicated volunteers offer their time and talents to help seniors.

Their efforts strengthen their communities and make a great difference in the lives of seniors,"

said Minister of Seniors and Housing Josephine Pon. "These exemplary nominees deserve our recognition and I look forward to thanking them personally.”

Other nominees are being celebrated Sept. 12 in Calgary and Sept. 16 in Clairmont.

Of those nominated, the ones selected to receive the awards will

be invited to a luncheon in their honour at Government House in Edmonton on Oct. 1, which is the United Nations’ International Day of Older Persons.

Pam Mykityshyn (shown sixth from left, second row) attends the celebration Sept. 9 in Edmonton honouring 38 nominees for the 2019 Minister's Seniors Service Awards. Mykityshyn and her peers are being honoured for helping to improve the lives of seniors and their communities through community service. Along with her and the other nominees were Seniors Minister Josephine Pon (left of Mykityshyn) and Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely (fourth from the right, front row).

Borrowing bylaw passed for solar project Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking Council passed second and third reading of a bylaw to borrow $1.039 million for a solar micro generation project that would reduce energy costs for the town's municipal building and infrastructure.

The project's total cost will be $1,726,968 with the remaining funds coming from provincial grants to the tune of $768,090.

The debenture will be $1,038,878 over a period of 15 years or less from the Alberta Capital Finance Authority or another authorized financial institution.

The solar project is

Irma News

expected to have a lifetime of about 30 years.

McLeod said that the proposed bylaw was advertised for two weeks after first reading and no petitions against it were received within the 15day deadline.

To that end, council then passed all three readings of a bylaw to supply interim financing for the solar micro

generation project in the amount of $1.7 million to be repaid by taxes from the town.

The Beaver County

A Free Weekly Publication Serving All of Beaver County Wednesday, September 11, 2019, Volume 12, Issue 37

Committee asked for direction on surplus revenue policy provided by BMS Patricia Harcourt The Sept.

4 Committee of the Whole meeting centred on what radius to put in place for providing rural bins as compensation for landowners living around the Beaver Municipal Solutions (BMS) landfill.

The bins are free currently for landowners under the Good Neighbour Grant. The monthly tipping fee for rural residents living in a defined area around the landfill was done to compensate for noise, light, and odour complaints, among others, by local residents in the area.

The grant still has $25,000 to $30,000 left in the fund once these tipping fees are paid out, but the grant is not guaranteed from BMS every year.

The committee meeting held in May discussed the dividend funding in May and had no changes for the Community Support Requests Policy, which doles out funding for community and other groups for projects.

"Do you want to change the types of things that you fund?" asked Assistant CAO Margaret Jones.

Council discussed recreational funding which Jones said was attached to tax dollars not the funding which comes from BMS. Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) stated that under the Shared Services Agreement, the towns and villages already receive capital funding. "They've already got their share," he said. "I think we've got to tighten the belt a bit."

With provincial funding expected to drop, Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) agreed: "We should stick to the status quo.”

Kallal also felt the compensation to landowners living around the landfill should remain in place, but the area of those affected might be altered to include others.

"I feel that money is justifiably going to people affected by the landfill," he said. "Let's just stay status quo."

But he preferred using a radius on the map to qualify people for the tipping fees on a rural bin rather than the current grid used to demarcate who should be compensated.

The committee decided to hold off on

any major decisions until the provincial budget comes down, likely in October.

"We just know what we're up against as far as the future tax laws," said Kallal.

"If we see them drop the hammer on us we may need to revise policies for 2020," said Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1).

Jones agreed: "Certainly, there's merit in seeing how it all settles out."

As for the radius of landowners around BMS, Kallal said there are "a lot of people affected (by the BMS landfill) as the crow flies."

And Hrabec said "there are people considerably further away that are getting bins," while others to the east affected by prevailing winds from the landfill don't get bins as compensation.

Jones said a change to the policy through an amendment was possible if the area to be compensated was altered. But parametres would need to be set on what is a negative impact in order to determine who is eligible.

"Council needs to establish what is a negative impact and based

on that decide who is affected," she said.

Hrabec said it was unfair for someone living five miles north of the landfill's epicentre getting the free rural bin and someone 1.5 miles away in another direction doesn't get it.

Jones replied that the original motivation for compensating people north of the landfill was due to the truck and noise activity on the highway.

Kallal said the deciding factor "should be based on more of a radius than a grid," on the map. One of the

negative impacts for him was the many birds that fly onto other adjacent properties up to seven miles away from the landfill.

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) said: "It's beyond me why people (living) to the south and east (of the landfill) are left out," noting the "prevailing winds and seagulls" that these landowners also experience. Bruce said the map used to define where free rural bins are placed "is too far north and west," and not far enough south and east.

But he added that

people to the north now receiving a bin would be upset if their bin was dropped from the list. "It's very easy to give people something," he said. "It's extremely difficult to take it away."

Hrabec agreed: "Just do something fair," in a circular fashion. Kallal suggested using a four mile radius in all directions starting at 502 and S.H. 854. There was no motion as per the committee meeting rules but administration would bring the policy amendment back at a regular meeting for a decision.

Division 4 councillor concerns over access to farmland Patricia Harcourt County councillor Barry Bruce expressed concerns about farmers in his division being able to access their land because the road allowances are so bad.

"We have residents in Division 4…that do not have access to the land that they farm," he told the committee of the whole on Sept. 4. Bruce said these residents "pay taxes but have to go about their farming with great difficulty.

"Do we have a policy," he asked.

"How do we help these guys?

"They're really upset," he said, that other areas of the county are being re-paved and they feel they are being neglected.

Bruce said the farmers want these roads fixed so they "can at least get down them."

Bruce added that, "it can be done and done reasonably inexpensively…We live and die on our roads.

People need them to get back and forth. We are failing them as a council.

"The road allowances are there but there's never been any construction on them," he said.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said he has received similar complaints, but after putting in a service request to Public Works and Transportation the problem was fixed.

Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) said he got stuck hauling hay on a well used service road, and told Bruce a service request should be put in for work on the road allowance.

CAO Bob Beck confirmed that the county departments do work on service roads.

Beaver County Chronicle, September 11, 2019 - 3

Five year plan requires ranking of capital projects Patricia Harcourt Assistant CAO Margaret Jones asked direction from Beaver County's Committee of the Whole on any changes that might be required to the ranking of capital projects.

She explained that the Municipal Government Act (MGA) requires that the county prepare a five year financial plan. The first year is to be completed by the end of December.

The plan includes a list of future capital projects that will be funded "if/when strategic opportunities arise or resources are available," she said, at the committee meeting Sept. 4.

A list was made for council's perusal, the first priority being the campground improvements. "Council will determine the nature of the improvements once the campground strategy is completed," she said. "The campground

strategy has been identified as one of council's strategic priorities for 2019."

Council has asked administration to come up with a campground strategy after a split occurred between those who want to keep the two parks at either end of the county for strictly recreational use and those who want to make it a business style venture with profit potential.

Improvements to the campgrounds "would go ahead once we have the strategic priorities," said Jones.

Four other projects were ranked second in priority, including bridge repairs, Equity Industrial Park storm water and construction, Paragon Theatre heating and floor issues, and Viking Beaver Business Park road and utility development.

The third priorities were gravel pit reclamation at SW 19-46-11-W4

currently being mined, and subdivision road surfacing.

The fourth priority is a salt/sand shed. The county currently has such a facility but needs upgrades.

The fifth priorities include grader shed improvements and a back up power sources and automated emergency call out system for the Kinsella Lift Station.

Jones also stated that provincial government funding remains uncertain until the government tables a budget in the fall.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 4) added that priorities are, "depending on what the provincial budget is (in October)," adding he anticipated there would be downloading of services from the province onto local municipalities such as the county.

"I think we need to wait and see what the budget will be before we establish priorities," he

said. "There could be some changes," to provincial funding.

Hrabec, who advocated renting camp spaces for long term use to make money for the county, asked when the campground strategy would be completed by administration.

Upgrades in the campgrounds would be dependent on the strategy council adopts for Camp Lake and Black Nugget Lake. Jones said the strategy would be brought forward within the next two weeks.

Hrabec replied that the campground decision could be made at the next council meeting on Sept. 18. "It might be dealt with fairly quickly then," he said.

Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1) pointed out that the county was considering changes to the Ryley Grader Shed, but this is being complicated by waiting for the provincial budget to be tabled.

mitted to ensuring the site continues to honour the original intent of Ralph and Lois Child to dedicate the site as a memorial site to their son Gary.

The barbeque was attended by community members and town council members and a Beaver County councillor. We are grateful to everyone for attending and, as we hold more similar functions, please come out and have a visit with us.

The Viking Lions Club has a committee that manages the maintenance and operation of Camp Gary.

The committee is made up of three Lions Members Darren Arndt, Chris Hakes, and Devin Hildebrand.

If anyone has any

questions or requests to use the site please get in touch with one of these members.

Locals come together with County to raise suicide prevention awareness Moush John Staff Reporter

On Tuesday, Sept. 10, which marks the World Suicide Prevention Day across the world, local businesses and organizations from the county got together and participated in a walk in Ryley at noon.

FCSS Tofield/Ryley/ Beaver County West, Village of Ryley, FCSS Viking/Beaver, ATB Financial, Ryley Post Office, Nutrien, Ryley School students and teachers, and members of the public joined Beaver County council and staff in a walk to raise awareness and

provide commitment to prevent suicides.

It’s estimated one in five people will experience suicidal thoughts in their lifetime.

“Too many Albertans know the profound and lasting pain that’s left over when a person ends their own life. On World Suicide

Prevention Day, we stand with those who endure this loss, and the countless Albertans who are battling mental illness, like depression,” said Premier Jason Kenney.

“Those Albertans are incredibly strong. They fight each and every day to make it through their struggle,

and that strength must be recognized.”

In his statement, Kenney said that the government and organizations must work together to cast aside the stigma of depression and other types of mental illness.

“But if you feel overwhelmed, if you are

struggling with your own challenges that feel insurmountable.

“If you are one of those incredibly strong Albertans who fights each and every day through your hurt and pain, know this: You are loved. You are valuable.

You are strong,” Kenney added.

Beaver County Reeve Jim Kallal, Beaver County councillor Kevin Smook, Ryley CAO Glen Hamilton-Brown, Mayor of Ryley Terry Magneson along with county staff, staff of FCSS Tofield/Ryley/Beaver County West, Village of Ryley, FCSS Viking/Beaver, ATB Financial, Ryley Post Office, Nutrien, Ryley School students and teachers and members of the public pose for a group picture to raise awareness about suicide on World Suicide Prevention Day – Tuesday, Sept. 10.

Vegreville RCMP lay Drug Trafficking charges Over the last seven months, members of the Vegreville Detachment have continued their efforts into disrupting the drug trade in the Vegreville area.

This long term investigation, with the assistance of Edmonton ALERT and the Eastern Alberta Crime Reduction Unit, has continued.

Based on information gained, in the early morning hours of September 6, a vehicle stop was effected, and both the driver and passenger of the vehicle were arrested for conspiracy to traffic in controlled substances.

Search incidental to arrest led to the RCMP locating methamphetamine and heroin and suspected fentanyl, along with hydromorph and various trafficking materials.

Barbara Jean Tween, 58, of Two Hills has been charged with the following: • Trafficking in controlled substances (4x) • Possession of a controlled substance • Failing to comply with Recognizance (5x) Tween has been remanded into custody pending her next court appearance in Vegreville Provincial Court on September 16.

The male driver was

released, charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine).

At the time of her arrest, Tween was at large on a Recognizance

entered into before a justice, having been charged in 2018 with Trafficking in Controlled Substances.

Those matters are currently before the courts.

Police units work together following suspects from Tofield to Killam to make arrests Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

What started with a stolen vehicle in Tofield ended with the arrest of three suspects in Killam on Friday, Aug. 31, with RCMP from the Central Alberta Rural Crime Reduction Unit, Eastern Alberta Rural Crime Reduction Unit, Wetaskiwin General Investigation Services, K-Division Air units, Police Dog Services, and Killam RCMP members all working together.

Three individuals were arrested after three warrants were issued, with a total of 83 charges laid by police. Three stolen vehicles were recov-

ered, as well as five firearms from a Killam residence after a search warrant was executed.

After a vehicle was stolen in Tofield, police were led to Camrose, then Wetaskiwin following the stolen vehicle. This led to the discovery of two other stolen vehicles, and two men were identified as suspects.

Upon the execution of a search warrant on the Killam residence, police found a significant quantity of stolen items, five prohibited weapons, and a quantity of methamphetamines sufficient for trafficking.

A total of 83 charges were laid against two males and one female

suspect.

The two males were released after a judicial interim release hearing was held. Stephane LeClerc, 50, of Edmonton, was released on a $750 cash bond; Robert Bricker, 34, of Killam was released on $3,500 nocash recognizance, and Shyla Good (31) of Paintearth County was remanded into custody.

Corporal Trent Cleveland, Acting Commander of the Killam RCMP Detachment, says that the incident represents a significant effort from four police units, and continues with many hours of work that doesn’t stop at the arrests.

RCMP Continued from Page 5 northbound. The motorcyclist travelling in the rear thought they were going to be stopping in an upcoming approach and started to pull over, clipping the rear of the motorcycle in front. Both drivers were transported to the hospital; one was released and the other was kept for further observation. There were no life threatening injuries.

That afternoon, police received a complaint of harassment. A local business advised that they have had a male continuously attend their business and speak to the employees. The 45-yearold male was spoken to about his actions and advised he would be charged with harassment should it continue.

The evening of

September 7, police received a third party complaint regarding a domestic dispute that occurred the day before.

Members spoke to the parties involved and they denied any dispute occurred.

In the early morning hours of September 8, police responded to a complaint of a vehicle that was flipped over in the ditch. Patrols were made to the area where it was reported and no vehicle was located.

Members contacted the complainant to ensure the location was correct, which it was. Extensive patrols and foot patrols were conducted and no vehicle was located.

That afternoon, police received a complaint of lost property. The complainant forgot her digital camera at the Viking Shell. No cameras were turned into the Shell or to the RCMP. The com-

plainant was able to provide the serial number and the property was entered on CPIC as lost.

That evening, police stopped a vehicle for speeding. It was determined the vehicle did not have registration or insurance. The 36-yearold male was charged with no insurance, no registration and speeding. He will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court at a later date.

During this time period, police also responded to false alarms, various traffic infractions, 911 hang ups, as well as complaints of suspicious persons.

With school back in, the public is reminded to be aware of children crossing the streets as pedestrians and on their bicycles. Please slow down in the playground and school zones to avoid any pedestrian collisions.
