Local MP applauds Poilievre win as party leader

Patricia Harcourt Editor

MP Damien Kurek is applauding the election of Pierre Poilievre as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The local MP for Battle RiverWainwright made an official statement on Poilievre’s successful leadership bid announced on Saturday, September 10.

“It is a pleasure to congratulate the Hon. Pierre Poilievre on being elected leader of Canada’s Conservatives and becoming the leader of the Official Opposition,” said Kurek.

Kurek came out in favour of Poilievre and officially endorsed him for leader of his party during the leadership run that saw candidates from all perspectives and political leanings within the Conservative movement take part.

Jean Charest was considered the most “progressive” conservative taking part in the race for the party’s heart and soul, placing a distant second to the overwhelming win by Poilievre who garnered over 68 per cent of the vote.

The party was formed in 2003 when the Progressive Conservative Party and the Reform/Alliance

Party merged. Stephen Harper became the leader of this new party and prime minister of the country for many years.

During that time, Poilievre was an MP in the Harper government and was known as one of his right hand men. From 2017 to 2022, Poilievre served as the shadow minister for finance and also had a short stay as minister for jobs and industry.

Kurek states that during the past eight months, Poilievre “connected with Canadians, who responded in an unprecedented way. Folks shared their struggles, fears and hope…and now a change is needed in Canada.”

The new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada won on the first ballot with 68.15 per cent of the vote, winning all but eight of the 338 electoral ridings in the country.

Charest won eight of these ridings with four in Quebec and two in Ontario.

Other candidates were Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis (9.69 per cent), former Ontario MPP Roman Baber (5.03 per cent), and MP Scott Atchison (one per cent).

During his acceptance speech, Poilievre surprised many by introducing both his birth mother and adoptive parents in the crowd that night. The more personal tone ex-

tended to his wife and children who were also present.

Kurek says that the Conservative Party “is ready to get to work and continue to hold the Trudeau Liber-

Smook UCP team questions fairness of Camrose nomination Kerry Anderson Tofield Mercury

Either the United Conservative Party nomination process is flawed, or there was intentionally dirty politics at work when Tofield area businessman Kevin Smook was edged out 464-406 by MLA Jackie Lovely, Aug. 4-6 in the Camrose provincial electoral district nomination weekend.

Smook confirmed this feeling to Caribou Publishing on Friday when he pointed out an article from last week’s Western Standard online, written by Linda Slobodian, titled “Something rotten in the UCP nomination process.”

“This nomination should be overturned,” said Dale Oleksyn,

Smook’s campaign manager, stating that his candidate’s team was not given the full list of Camrose Constituency UCP members to contact before the vote.

Oleksyn stated it is up to the UCP to provide both candidates with a full list of members eligible to vote for a candidate.

There were upwards of 74 names the Smook campaign didn’t have, plenty to change the results of the nomination, said the campaign manager.

“We received 56 names at 7 p.m. on day two (Aug. 5) with an hour to go for voting. They had the advantage over us because they had the full list.

“We weren’t given a fair chance to talk to these members and try to get their vote,” Oleksyn was quoted as saying in the

Western Standard article.

“The process that I observed was that across three days of voting, as a scrutineer, there was an irregularly high number of people going to the help desk. They weren’t on the voter list,” said lead scrutineer Kyle McIntosh.

Lovely contends that no matter what happened in

the UCP nomination, she worked hard to sell “over 700 memberships,” followed the rules, and denied she knowingly had early access to an updated membership list.

Letters written to UCP officials suggesting the process was “flawed or open to exploitation” have not been returned.

Smook says he feels for

the over 400 people who voted for him, as well as his campaign team that worked so hard in this

election.

“If the integrity of this election has been compromised, that upsets me.”

Update on Viking meetings held over summer by Municipal Administrator Patricia Harcourt Editor

Municipal administrator Douglas Lagore, who was appointed to handle the Town of Viking’s affairs while byelections were held for three council vacancies, held official but not widely publicized council meetings in July and August.

The council was represented by Lagore himself at these meetings.

Now that the council vacancies have been filled, council once again has a quorum to hold it own meetings beginning in September.

But previous to that, Lagore held one-person meetings with staff present. He was representing council as a stand-in for the five-person council.

Absent from the July 18 and August 15 meetings with Lagore were Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk and Councillor Cindy Lefsrud who were not allowed to participate in council proceedings without a quorum.

Minutes of the July 18 meeting were approved at the August 15 meeting and can be found on the town website.

Present at the July meeting were Lagore, CAO Sherry Garbe, Public Works Foreman Kevin O’Neill, and administrator Tammy Voltner.

The item “CAO contract” was added

to the agenda, and a motion was later passed (by Lagore himself) stating: “That the Town of Viking reconfirm the CAO contract with Sherry Garbe effective immediately.” Why there was a need to reconfirm the contract was not explained as there was no report on the item.

After going in closed session later in the meeting, Lagore also passed a motion stating: “That CAO Garbe is authorized to recruit a Carena concession manager or lease.”

Council heard reports from the CAO, Public Works Foreman, Facility Manager and Bylaw report.

The revenue and expense report for June 2022 was accepted as presented, as well as the accounts payable cheque list and bank reconciliation report.

Then three motions were passed in support of the Claystone Waste board resolutions, which needed to be done before Claystone held its AGM meeting in August.

CAO Garbe was appointed to represent the Town of Viking at the Claystone meeting on August 25. The meeting had been discontinued earlier due to questions and concerns about the resolution by Beaver County.

A motion was also passed that council approve the amount of $13,665.25 for the 2022 Viking/Beaver Family and

Community Support Services as its annual funding contribution.

At the July meeting, the official resignation of then councillor Gary Hafso was accepted as of June 27 when it was received.

The meeting scheduled a second byelection for September 13, with nominations closing August 16. As it turned out, Jamie Buttner was the only nomination on that day so no by-election was necessary as Buttner was returned by acclamation.

CAO Garbe was then appointed as the Returning Officer for this second by-election, which never actually took place.

Lagore as official administrator was authorized to sign all documents and perform any banking on behalf of the Town of Viking during this time when council could not function.

A report by Garbe at the August 15 meeting stated that she had advertised for anyone interested in leasing the Carena concession, and had since spoken to one interested person.

“Council needs to confirm how much the lease will be,” she stated.

“The last two leases paid $350 and $500.”

She added: “There is no way to monitor the power or gas. When the Carena was built they did not install separate

OPINION

metres in the kitchen so this could not be monitored. The lease must also include that the kitchen (must be) kept clean and that the concession is open for events.”

Her recommendation was that council approve a lease amount of either $400 or $500,” per month.

Council also discussed setting a date and reserve bid for public auction of four tax sale properties, whose owners have been given notice under provisions of the Municipal Government Act that the town intends to offer them for sale by public auction in order to recoup unpaid taxes.

She recommended that council set the public auction date for October 26 at 10 a.m. and set the reserve bid for each property as per the public auction list of taxes owing.

At the August 15 meeting, the bylaw report was to be added later and there was no community peace officer report.

The next meeting of council, with a full quorum of four councillors and one mayor, will be held on Monday, September 19 in Viking Council Chambers (Louis Sutter Room) at the Carena.

It is at that time that the minutes of the August meeting will be considered for acceptance for the viewing of the public.

MLA concerns about agriculture and harvest After facing severe drought in 2021, Alberta farmers are very hopeful for the harvest ahead in 2022.

Right now, canola fields are doing particularly well, with Ian Chitwood of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission recently saying, “Everything is coming up really, really well right now. We’re getting some good moisture for the first time in a couple of years. Prices look good. The fall looks good. Everything is lining up. As long as we can avoid the hail, we’ll be okay.”

Alberta producers planted 6.5 million acres of canola this year, as the global need for cooking oil reached its highest point ever due to a variety of factors, including the war in Ukraine. Our world-class farmers will be critical in meeting that demand now and for years to come. As the 2022

crops continue to come in, we wish all our farmers nothing but the best.

To help raise awareness about the amazing work our farmers do, this week, our government recently celebrated Local Food Week – a celebration of Albertagrown food. Local Food Week kicked off with the Open Farm Days, a time when local farms open their doors, so Albertans can see exactly what they do and how they do it.

During Open Farm Days, we encouraged all Albertans to visit a participating farm, meet a farmer, and learn more about our agriculture industry.

Also during Open Farm Days, some of Alberta's most talented chefs cooked farmto-table dinners in rural communities across Alberta. We encouraged all Albertans to find an opportunity to have an Al-

berta-grown meal, whether it was at a participating event or just at home.

You may remember that our government launched a special “Made in Alberta

by Albertans” label, to make it easier to identify Alberta-grown foods at local markets and grocery stores. Whether you’re having steak, chicken, pork, potatoes, peas, or carrots - we challenge you to make an all-Alberta meal to celebrate our amazing farmers.

Despite all this good news, Alberta farmers remain anxious about Ottawa’s continuous attacks on their livelihoods. I want to be clear that our United Conservative government opposes any effort by Ottawa to force our farmers to reduce their fertilizer use.

I am pleased to report that the federal government recently signalled that it is

Proudly serving the communities of Viking, Bruce, Kinsella, Holden, Irma, Innisfree, Ryley, Rural Vegreville, and surrounding areas since 1913!

backing away from its plan to mandate that Canadian agribusinesses reduce their use of nitrogen fertilizer, after getting an earful from farmers and provincial governments like ours.

Agriculture is Alberta’s second largest industry, and with so many exciting things happening in our booming economy, it’s important we take time to recognize the role agriculture plays and will continue to play in our economy.

Unlike the Alberta opposition party, who attacked our family farms and ranches, our United Conservative government will always support Alberta’s world-class farmers and the critical work they do feed the world.

WORD ON THE STREET Suspects flee after break-in at work site On September 5, police received a report of two Ford Mustangs racing on Highway 14. A patrol was made and the vehicles were located; however, at the time, they were not breaking any laws. The complainant was updated.

During the early morning hours of September 7, police initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle with a burned out licence plate lamp. The driver did not have her licence in her possession and was issued two violation tickets for both of the offences.

A short time later, police received a complaint of a break and enter in progress at an oilfield site southeast of Viking.

Employees arrived at work to find two suspects on site but they then fled on foot. A police dog and his handler from St. Paul attended and tracked the suspects to a roadway a couple of miles away and then lost the scent. A short time later, a female was located walking in the area. Police had located evidence at the scene that tied the female to the break and enter. She was arrested and charges are pending. The investigation into this crime is ongoing.

Later that day, police received an Apprehension Order from Alberta Health Services for a female who had breached her

Community Treatment Order. The person in question was located and transported to a health facility for treatment.

Also that day, police received a complaint of two people walking in a field southeast of Viking. Police attended and spoke with the people in question. They had permission to be on the property and were conducting soil tests. The complainant was updated.

That night, police conducted a curfew check on a male in Viking. He was found to be non-compliant. Donald Brisson has been charged with Sec. 733.1(1) CC-Fail to comply with Probation. He will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court this week.

On September 8, police were advised of a theft that had occurred at an oilfield site a few days prior. Police have no suspects at this time.

That afternoon, police received a report of found property.

The complainant advised he had located a backpack in the parking lot at the Viking Health Centre. The backpack will be held while police attempt to identify the owner.

Also that day, police received a complaint of theft from a residence west of Viking. The complainant advised a washer and dryer were missing from the residence, which was vacant at the

time. There was no evidence left behind to further a police investigation. This same complainant also advised his side by side had been stolen back in February but he believed a former employee was in possession of it. The investigation into this theft is continuing.

Later that day, police received a complaint of trespassing in Bruce. Police are following up on this matter.

On September 9, police were advised of a possible fraud in Viking. The complainant advised someone had hacked into his computer and accessed his bank account information. The investigation into this matter is ongoing.

Later that afternoon, police received a complaint of a male trespassing on a property in Viking. The male was identified but the property owner did not wish to proceed with charges. The male in question was spoken to and warned about his behaviour.

Late that night, police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Highway 36. The complainant advised he was driving a semi and had to take the ditch to avoid hitting a Chrysler 300

automobile that was driving southbound in the northbound lane. Police are following up on this matter.

On September 10, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle east of Viking. Police made contact with the driver who advised he was out scouting hunting spots in the area. He was reminded to obtain the landowner’s permission before entering on the land.

That afternoon, police received a report of suspicious activity at a property southeast of Viking. Police attended and spoke to the occupants. A male with outstanding warrants out of Camrose was located on the property. He was arrested and held for a Judicial Interim Release hearing and will be appearing in Camrose Provincial Court to deal with his charges.

That evening, police were dispatched to a combine fire in the Bruce area.

When police arrived on scene, the fire was almost extinguished. The fire was deemed non-suspicious in nature.

Later that night, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle that Continued on Page 11

Local Victim Services opposes redesign will lose local autonomy of service to larger zone Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Victim Services Board Chair Jim Warren told Beaver County Council Sept. 7 of his displeasure with the province’s proposed redesign project.

The current model gives board autonomy to the BCVS and allows it to be a society that can raise its own funds and offer services to victims of trauma as well as crime.

That would all change if this new police-based model, goes into place next March. It would mean a centralized model composed of only four zones in the province that would have one board for each zone and hire for the entire zone.

Only victims of crime would be allowed to get help and the current model in Beaver County helping many victims of vehicle accidents, fire and other disasters would not be allowed.

“I have some real concerns,” said Warren, who is retired as Tofield RCMP sergeant/commander and still lives in town.

“Last year, we were advised they were looking at changing some of the procedures for Victim Services,” he said, and was assured it related to the financial aspects of the model.

“Well, I was pretty wrong,” he said, after seeing the report released in July.

“They’ve redesigned it totally.”

Beaver County would fit into the zone which would follow the RCMP designation. “Beaver County would go into the old Eastern Alberta region,” with an executive director and other employees including 29 case workers.

“Where will they be? We don’t know.

What are their job descriptions? We don’t know.” The province says that the province will have hiring control.

“It’s taken everything away from the community,” said Warren. Victim Services in Beaver County has run the program and the finances over the. years.

“Now it is only going to be for victims of crime. We can’t be involved with sudden deaths, car accidents,” and other tragedies.

“In my view, it’s taken all of that away,” he said.

He said there was little input sought from local officials, municipal leaders and victim services people in this area.

“It will have a huge impact on the RCMP,” he said, as VS could no longer handle things such as death notifications to next of kin. “Victim Services will not be involved in that anymore.

“The (current) program is supposed to end March 31, 2023. In my opinion this is more about control.” Warren said the new model will not affect the larger centres like Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, etc.

“It’s only the rural communities that are going to be affected.”

And he predicted this will also be affected by the new provincial police service the government wants to put in place. “I think they will close the small detachments to make up the 10-person minimum detachments they are proposing,” he said.

“How do we advocate for Beaver County to show all the services we do,” asked Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3). “Your group does such a good job,” calling Beaver County Victim Services “instrumental in our community.”

Hrabec said the scope of the redesign means the number of people in the police detachment will drop as “they are only going to be dealing with crime…If there’s anything we can do to rally on your behalf because we support you guys.”

He said that VS “is a big part of the community,” adding: “The RCMP don’t just deal with crime, they also deal with motor vehicle accidents.”

Warren asked council to take the concern to the upcoming Rural Municipality Association (RMA) convention. After working with victim services in different parts of the province, he stated that “one size does not fit all.”

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4)

recalled the help victim services gave to a man whose house burned down and lost everything in the fire.

“Victim Services came and helped him out,” he said. Bruce sits on the Tofield Ambulance Society board where there was a similar discussion. “If it isn’t broke then why are you fixing it,” he said.

And Councillor Lionel Williams agreed, crediting the work of Victim Services for keeping the crime statistics down in this area. “It’s because of people like you on Victim Services,” he told Warren.

“If there’s anything we can do to keep that, we’re going to do it,” pledged Williams.

“They are trying to put the cart before the horse,” said Warren, about the redesign. ”They don’t have all their ducks lined up in a row.” He said an outside source was being brought in by the province to write the new job descriptions, but he believed that hiring locally was the way to do that. “It doesn’t make sense to me.”

Reeve Smook (Division 1) said that council would be meeting Tofield council on September 23 and would be discussing the issue at that time.

Councillor Pederson (Division 5) concluded the discussion. “Thanks for sharing your concerns and we will definitely try to help you out.”

Beaver County supports grant for regional emergency plan and training Patricia Harcourt Beaver County agreed to support the Village of Ryley’s submission for an Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) grant, with the village applying on behalf of Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC).

The grant for 2022-2023 is being requested for a regional emergency management plan and for emergency response training and exercises.

The county also agreed to support the awarding of a tender to Bolt from Blue Management as the consultant for the development of this regional emergency plan, training and exercise.

“The Village of Ryley will be the managing partner for this project with the

understanding BESC will play a significant role in the scope of the project,” stated Aimee Boese, GM of Community Services, in her report to council at the September 7 regular meeting.

Boese said this was “an emergency management issue” and just a formality to give support to it. As the managing partner, Ryley gets the funding on behalf of BESC, which offers fire protection services in the region of Beaver County boundaries and the towns and villages within those boundaries. Each municipality has delegated emergency management services to the commission.

In May a joint administrative team from these municipalities reviewed four proposals for these emergency management plans, response training and exercises.

They were scored according to the matrix provided in the RFP. Bolt from Blue Management’s tender was chosen to act as consultant for the project by meeting all key requirements and being the lowest price, said Boese.

However, Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) stated he needed “more information” before voting on the motions.

Chief Administrative Officer Kayleena Spiess said the other three proposals for tender information could be provided and outlined why they had not been chosen.

She said the company recommended was a “cost fit and fit the criteria.”

Smook tabled the motions “concerning the ACP grant/BESC pending further information,” regarding the scoring of the other proposals.

Once that was provided later in the day, motions were passed accepting the submission for an ACP grant and Bolt as consultant for the project.

Boese said the other four municipalities will also need to approve this project by way of motions of support, “otherwise it’s back to the drawing board.”

If the grant application is successful with ACP, the funding will be used to cover the cost of the project.

Municipalities may be required to contribute additional funds, if some parts of the scope of the project are deemed ineligible for the grant.

The total cost of the project is set at $49,500, with half of this going towards the preparation of the emergency management plan (nine elements).

2 - Beaver County Chronicle, September 14, 2022

New Tofield Sgt. introduces himself Sgt. Charles Brown meets with Beaver County Council Patricia Harcourt Sgt. Charles Brown, Tofield RCMP’s latest detachment commander, introduced himself to Beaver County Council at council’s Sept. 7 regular meeting.

Brown came to Tofield after a fouryear stint in Lac La Biche stating he was “pretty happy to be here,” as of July 4, taking over for Sgt. Knelsen.

Brown has spent 22 years in the municipal police service in Nova Scotia before becoming an RCMP officer. He has now spent the same amount of time as a mountie serving in areas of Western Canada, which he says has given him “a wide range of experience.”

Now he is spending time speaking to municipal leaders and asking what he can do to help with crime prevention in the detachment area.

Referring to the police statistics for January to July for the detachment, Brown stated that in his experience that “Tofield/Beaver County is an exceptionally nice place in terms of not having as much violent crime.”

He called the crime statistics for this area “good.” Two highlights were 193 property crimes during those first six months of the year, and 576 traffic offences.

He asked members of council if they had questions regarding issues such as vision for the future, building bridges and rapport, working with schools and the benefits of foot patrols by officers.

Brown likes the idea of police doing foo patrols to “be more available to the people,” and see things from a different perspective.

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) asked about the 576 traffic stops in terms of also catching other criminal behaviour in the vehicles that are stopped. Smook wanted to know if these occurrences are scored within traffic statistics because they happened during a traffic stop.

But Brown indicated that “they will be scored as criminal code (classifications) not traffic,” noting that “It’s there but it’s not connected.”

Smook then indicated that “It can be annoying if a person is pulled over and they aren’t doing anything wrong,” but added that ‘it’s more acceptable in light of (catching criminal behaviour) is happening” as a result.

Councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5) wanted to know the difference between a breach of the peace and disturbing the peace.

Brown likened the breach of peace to be a situation where someone is doing something to prevent another person from sleeping at night. Disturbing the peace can be done at anytime and involves “creating a disturbance.”

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) wanted to know what a minus meant in the statistics. Brown repled that the police “attended a call for serv-

ice but found it was unfounded as an offence.”

And Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) asked about repeat offenders and how they factor into statistics.

Brown stated that he was “relatively new” to the Tofield force and didn’t know “all the characters and repeat offenders” in the Tofield and rural areas.

But he added that it is only six to eight per cent of offenders who cause 90 per cent of the call volume for RCMP officers.

“But the numbers are relatively low based on July since I’ve been here,” he said, stating he “enjoys the peace here” compared to other places he has lived and worked. He told them that, with such a low ratio of crime in the area there is “nothing to be concerned with.”

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) spoke of the problem of repeat offenders of crime, and asked why these types of criminals could not be taught a skill as a way to get them out of the crime cycle.

“That’s out there,” responded Brown, with certain groups who try to identify repeat offenders and offer programs to them. “It is a very complex bag,” he said, not just involving the justice system but also case law. “We do work with that,” he said, and can make referrals. “It works for some but not others. We’ll always have it (crime and repeat offenders), the way communities are made up.”

Smook also asked about the parking issue in front of the Tofield post office, with people making turns across the solid line in the middle to park and pull out the wrong way.

Brown replied that he has seen this happen while on foot patrols in Tofield He believes in “education first” as most of the offenders doing this say they are unaware this is a problem.

“I will let them off the hook the first time,” he said, and will work to find a balance between being punitive and giving the drivers a break all the time.

Referring to the push for a provincial police force, Williams asked if the detachment was adequately staffed.

“Do you need people?” he asked.

“For Beaver County, we are meeting the challenges. Here, it’s a piece of heaven,” said Brown, noting a former detachment commander still lives in Tofield as an example of this. “Things are good.”

However, the Viking detachment “is having a heck of a time getting members,” he said, and do borrow members from Tofield.

He said the RCMP are aware that there are recruitment issues in the province at this time.

But he added: “We are second to none,” as a police force.

“There are very dedicated members giving to their communities.”

2022 Construction Schedule

Shoulder Pull Update Beaver County will be completing Shoulder Pulls in the following areas over the next few weeks.

• Twp Rd 504 from Rge Rd 190 to Hwy 14 (1.5 miles) • Twp Rd 490 from Rge Rd 182 to Rge Rd 190 (4 miles) • Rge Rd 145 from Twp Rd 485 to Twp Rd 490 (1 mile) • Twp Rd 494 from Rge Rd 124 to Rge Rd 131 (3 miles) • Twp Rd 490 from Rge Rd 120 to Rge Rd 122 (2 miles) • Rge Rd 120 from Twp Rd 490 to Colony entrance (0.5 miles) • Rge Rd 110 from Twp Rd 473 to Twp Rd 480 (3 miles) Road rehabilitation through shoulder pulling will re-establish crown, compact the road surface and allow for grading of the road slope for proper drainage. Although the roads will stay open during construction please expect delays or use alternate routes. We apologize for any inconvenience that this road maintenance causes and thank you for your patience and understanding during construction. If you have any questions, please call the Beaver County Service Centre at 780-663-3730.

Construction Update Over the summer we have been working to upgrade the following roads: • RGE RD 182 from TWP 500 to HWY 14 • RGE RD 195 from TWP 512 to TWP 514 These locations are starting to receive the second layer of chip seal and there may be delays as work crews direct traffic in order to work safely. There will be many loose rocks after the second chip seal layer is applied and speed limits will continue to be reduced on these roads until the final sweep is complete. Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general public.

There are potential hazards to the public and vehicles during the construction process.

This can include heavy machinery, dust or mud, road material such as gravel, asphalt coatings and rock chips.

We apologize for the inconvenience that road maintenance and upgrading causes, but the same roads that receive the most traffic also need the most maintenance. Thankyou for your patience and understanding during construction. If you have any questions, please call the Beaver County Service Centre at 780-663-3730.

RCMP give traffic safety tips as students return to school Patricia Harcourt Editor

Students are returning to school this week in Viking, Irma, Holden and across the province. And with the unofficial start to fall, Alberta RCMP is providing traffic safety tips as students head back to class for another year of learning and socializing with friends.

The RCMP warn that drivers can expect there will be more traffic, busses and children on the roads when children go to and from school each day.

With pandemic restrictions being lifted there are

RCMP Continued from Page 5 was stopped on a roadway southeast of Viking. The complainant spoke with the occupants who advised they had stopped for a smoke but then took off. Police were not in a position to intercept the vehicle in question.

On September 11, police received a report of a suspicious person east of Viking who claimed he had run out of gas and was currently being towed back to Viking. Police located the person in question and initiated a traffic stop.

Investigation revealed the truck that had run out of gas had

more people going to and fro, often in a hurry to get where they are going or get done what needs to be done that day.

But the police want you to get a “passing grade” on traffic safety and are offering tips to achieve that goal and keep everyone safe this school year.

“We want to make sure the start of the school year is a safe one,” said Insp.

Chris Romanchych of Alberta RCMP Traffic. “By practicing safe driving behaviours in our school zones and during our morning and afternoon commutes, we can each do our part to reduce

roadway risks this September.”

For instance, slow down when entering a school yard or playground zone.

There is a much higher chance of surviving a run in with a vehicle at lower speeds and the trauma can be greatly reduced.

And heads up for drivers who see school buses flashing alternating red lights, because this means traffic going in both directions must stop and not pass the bus.

The fine for failing to do this can be up to $567 and six demerits imposed.

However, it isn’t necessary to stop if the bus is on

the other side of a divided highway.

The driver must come to a complete stop when pedestrians such as students are passing in front of the vehicle crossing the street. The vehicle cannot be blocking the crosswalk in any way, and driver should make eye contact with the pedestrian(s) to make sure they have cleared the road before driving forward again.

Crossing guards in front of schools are there to protect the students crossing the street and ensure their safety, and their direction must be adhered to by drivers. And when driv-

been reported stolen out of Sedgewick on September 5. The male was arrested and remanded into custody. 34-yearold Dwight Degner has been charged with Sec. 355(a)CC-Possession of Stolen Property, Sec. 733.1(1)CC-Fail to Comply with Probation Order, Sec. 88(1)CCPossession of a Weapon for a Purpose Dangerous to the Public X 2, Sec. 52(1)(a) TSA-Operate Motor Vehicle Without Registration, Sec. 94.1(1) TSA-Operate Motor Vehicle While Suspended. He will be appearing in Vegreville Provincial Court next week.

Later that morning, police received a complaint of suspicious vehi-

cles driving around a property southeast of Viking. Patrols were made; however, the vehicles in question were not located.

That afternoon, police were dispatched to a grain truck on fire south of Viking. The fire department attended and extinguished the fire, which was deemed non-suspicious in nature.

That evening, police received a complaint of an abandoned vehicle at an oilfield lease site southeast of Viking. Police attended and determined the vehicle belonged to an employee on site. The complainant was updated.

Also that evening, police received a complaint of a dog chasing

livestock. Police spoke with the dog owner and warned him about keeping his dog on his property.

Late that night, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle driving around a property northwest of Bruce. Police are following up on this matter.

Awareness key to prevention of suicide

Patricia Harcourt Editor

Trying to raise awareness of suicide and its risks is the key to prevention in many cases. To try and raise that awareness, pop up information booths were held in many local communities.

Last Thursday, Vision Credit Union Viking was the final stopping place for the booth being taken to various locations by Viking/Beaver FCSS, with staff and FCSS Community Programmer Jonelle Dunkley (in black, second from left) on hand.

“Our partners were ATB Financial in Bruce, Viking, and Holden, Vision Credit Union in Viking, Alberta Health Services, and Beaver County Community Adult Learning,” said FCSS Director Dawn Chrystian.

“We host these booths annually in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept. 10), and it’s really just a low-stress way for individuals to learn more about prevention, awareness, and healing after the suicide of a loved one,” she explained.

“When folks stop by our booths, they sometimes say, ‘Oh, that’s

not for me, I don’t struggle with that,’ but the reality is that likely someone you know does, and we can all be better informed when it comes to knowing more to provide assistance.”

The issue of suicide and increasing awareness to aid in preven-

tion is observed throughout the world in September. Beaver County holds a Walk of Remembrance annually.

This year the solemn event to remember those lost to suicide was held last Friday in front of the county office in Ryley.
