Woman serving for manslaughter granted day parole Jana Semeniuk Staff Reporter

A former Holden resident, who was initially given 18 years in prison for killing her abusive husband in 2011, has been allowed unescorted absences from prison and, once she is eligible early this year, day parole.

During her trial in 2020, Helen Naslund, now 58, admitted to shooting her husband Miles, then 49, twice in the head as he slept at their farm the morning of Sept. 5, 2011. In an agreed statement of facts, Miles spent the day before the killing intoxicated, ordering Naslund around with a gun and throwing wrenches at her before destroying a table set for Sunday dinner saying the meal was not fit for a dog. Naslund suffered for nearly 30 years at the hands of her abusive husband.

After the killing, Naslund and her son Neil, who was 19 at the time, stuffed Miles’ body in a truck bed toolbox which was drilled with holes and then welded shut. They sunk the toolbox in a dugout on the family

farm and then, using an excavator rented from the equipment shop where Helen worked, crushed and buried Miles’ car while burning evidence from the home and tossing Mile’s guns in other bodies of water. They kept the family secret for nearly six years.

Miles was first reported missing on Sept. 6, 2011, by Naslund who suggested he may have killed himself after disappearing in his Chevy Cavalier with a .357 Magnum handgun.

Meanwhile, Naslund was critical of the police investigation after they failed to turn up any leads.

In Aug. 2017 RCMP were tipped off upon learning that Darrell Naslund, Neil’s brother, had told people what really happened to his father.

After an RCMP search recovered Miles’s remains six years after he was reported missing, Naslund and Neil turned themselves into police and were both released on bail for three years.

Although the pair were originally charged with first degree murder by Tofield RCMP, Neil was sentenced

File photo of Naslund at a barrel racing event

in 2020 to three years for offering an indignity to a human body by helping his mother, and Naslund plea bargained receiving an 18year sentence for manslaughter which caused a public outcry. It was among the longest sentences in Canadian history for an abused woman who killed her husband. Neil was paroled in 2021.

In an agreed statement of facts, filed with Naslund’s guilty plea, the crime came after nearly 30 years of con-

tinual abuse which led Naslund to attempt suicide on multiple occasions.

Wesley Naslund, the eldest of the three sons, spoke to newspapers about growing up under his father’s obsessive controlling behaviour and feelings of never-ending dread. He said his mother tried leaving multiple times and his father always said he would track her down.

Last year, Naslund appealed her sentence resulting in the Appeal

Court reduction from 18 to nine years, minus time already served after considering Naslund to have symptoms of “battered woman syndrome”, which causes psychological damage from being continually abused by an intimate partner.

Currently, the Parole Board has granted Naslund four unescorted absences of 72 hours from prison and once she is eligible early this year, she will be granted day parole.

Local Conservative Association Hosts Hon. Kevin Sorenson Appreciation at Blue Christmas Gala The Battle River—Crowfoot Conservative Association hosted a Christmas Gala and Hon. Kevin Sorenson Appreciation Night on Friday, with over 100 people in attendance.

The President of the Association, Julie Franz, welcomed the crowd, “Kevin served his constituency so well, and we are so happy to finally be able to show our appreciation to him and to his family for the service and dedication to this constituency and to our country.”

Battle River—Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien C. Kurek also spoke, saying, “We had planned an appreciation for Kevin in April of 2020 but had to cancel when the whole world got shut down because of COVID. It is, however, important to honour Kevin and his family for their nearly two decades of public service.”

The event had special guest speaker David Anderson, a former Member of Parliament and close friend of the Sorensons. Anderson shared several stories from his time spent in Parliament, with the crowd laughing throughout his speech. Anderson finished his speech by saying, “Leadership like Kevin’s does not come around often. It was and it is my privilege to know him and to walk alongside him and Darlene and take part in this evening.”

Attending the event were several notable former colleagues of Sorenson, including Members of Parliament Blaine Calkins and Earl Dreeshen, former Members of Parliament Kerry Diotte and Bob Mills,

At the conclusion of the evening, Sorenson was invited to speak to the crowd. “Without a supportive spouse, it is impossible to do the job of Member

Mina was the more daring of the two—but they’d been equally desperate. Unfortunately, they didn’t get away fast enough. Now Dorian is injured, terrified, and wandering the streets of New York, and Mina lies dead near the waterfront while Lt. Eve Dallas looks over the scene. Mina’s expensive, elegant clothes and beauty products convince Dallas that she was being groomed, literally and figuratively, for sex trafficking—and that whoever is investing in this high-overhead operation expects windfall profits. Her billionaire husband, Roarke, may be able to help, considering his ties to the city’s ultra-rich. But Roarke is also worried about the effect this case is having on Dallas, as it brings a rage to the surface she can barely control. No matter what, she must keep her head clear--because above all, she is desperate for justice and to take down those who prey on and torment the innocent.

First reading given to consolidate fees for services into a proposed fees bylaw Patricia Harcourt Three bylaws were given first reading to place the fees for three county services into the proposed Fees, Rates and Charges bylaw.

“The next set of bylaws are all related,” stated Margaret Jones, manager of Legislative Services, at the county’s December 14 meeting.

“Administration is recommending that the amended Fees for Services Bylaw include fees associated with animal control, recreation (camping fees), sewage system service in the hamlets and Equity Industrial Park, and waste collection in the Hamlet of Bruce,” stated Jones.

“Administration recommends the consolidation for consistency, convenience, and ease of use.”

“Note that the Hamlet of Bruce

Waste Disposal Bylaw, Animal Control Bylaw and Municipal Parks Bylaw only require amendments to remove the fees from these bylaws.”

The balance of the content of the bylaws, which regulate these services, is still required,” and considered separately, stated the report.

The first bylaw (22-1127) deals with taking the fees for waste collection in the Hamlet of Bruce out of the hamlet’s Waste Disposal Bylaw, and putting them into the Fees, Rates and Charges Bylaw 22-1126.

“If the Fees, Rates and Charges Bylaw is passed, the Hamlet of Bruce Waste Disposal Bylaw requires amendment to remove the fees from the bylaw,’ stated Jones.

“The balance of the content of

the bylaw, which regulates the collection, removal and disposal of waste, is still required,” she explained.

Council gave first reading to Bylaw 1127 at the meeting.

“Second and third readings can be held in conjunction with subsequent readings of Bylaw 22-1126,” Jones said.

First reading was also given to Bylaw 22-1129, the Municipal Parks Bylaw. The bylaw is intended to move campground permit fees to the Fees, Rates and Charges Bylaw.

“The balance of the content of the bylaw, which regulates camper conduct in the campgrounds, is still required,” said Jones. This bylaw, too, would get second and third readings at the same time as the fees bylaw is passed.

Similarly, the county’s Animal Control Bylaw 22-1130 was given first reading with the intent to remove the animal control fees from that bylaw to the bylaw for fees, rates and charges.

The balance of the animal control bylaw which regulates household pets, animals and birds, would still be required and would remain in place.

Council plans to deal with second and third readings for these three bylaws, and the bylaw for fees, rates and charges, in the New Year.

This would take place after the public has been given a chance to absorb the increase to certain fees, rates and charges made in the new bylaw, including the proposed raise in sewer service rates in the hamlets of Bruce and Kinsella.

Council denies two county requests to waive tax penalties Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council denied two tax waiver requests at their December 14 regular council meeting.

The denial went along with administration’s recommendation to “adhere to the Tax Payments Deemed Received Policy,” in terms of the two requests.

In one case, the envelope with the tax payment was stamped November 1 which the county stated was received the next day.

The landowner in question appealed for a waiver stating that the payment was actually mailed October 25 but the post office

failed to pick it up until four days later.

Although “sympathizing with the landowner regarding their circumstances,” administration stated that both the county policy and provincial municipal statutes state that the postmark on the envelope marks the date the payment is officially deemed as received.

The other taxpayer stated they did not receive their tax notice until recently, and blamed the COVID-19 situation as this had never happened previously.

However, administration denied this request as well. Not receiving your taxes “is not an excuse,” said Margaret Jones,

manager of legislative services.

There is an onus on the landowner to check and ensure the taxes are paid.

“To waive the penalty would set an undesirable precedent and is unfair to taxpayers who have made efforts to pay their taxes on time this year or those who paid late and are assessed late payment penalties,” stated the recommendation from corporate services.

“We go through this every year,” said Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson, adding he supported the county’s policy and recommendation.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said that “people can

phone” the county to check on whether their tax payment has been received.

“We get numerous calls to see if taxes have been processed,” agreed Jones. Hrabec also wondered, however, if there were ample methods of payment available to make the payment easier for taxpayers to make, noting that the ability to use e-transfers for that purpose is available in some other jurisdictions.

Jones replied that the county already has “numerous methods” for paying taxes. However, payment by e-transfer isn’t included.

“We have looked into it,” she said, but found it wasn’t financially feasible at the time.

County Council gives second reading to road closure bylaw Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council gave second reading to a road closure bylaw 21-1113 Plan 3808TR at the December 14 regular meeting of council.

Aimee Boese, general manager of community services, stated that the purpose of the bylaw is the closure and consolidation of the surveyed road plan 3808TR located in the SW 15-51-19-W4 off Range Road 193. about 0.51 acres.

Boese said the surveyed road plan is now being used as the applicant’s driveway which is the sole access to the property.

“The applicants have occupied and maintained the street for many years and would like to include this in their titled parcel,” she stated, in her report to council.

“An existing gate was placed across the street by the previous owners as the road ends at the applicant’s home,” Boese continued. “The gate was placed to prevent the public from trespassing into their private property.”

Affected neighbours and other interested parties and companies were told of the proposed road closure and had no concerns. An adjacent landowner had concerns about the road closure making the parcel landlocked but Boese said this was addressed with the construction of a new approach.

The proposal has been approved by the Minister of Transportation.

Boese said administration will not present third and final reading to council until the applicant has paid all associated costs, received written approval from public works on the construction of the approach, obtained a quote from a surveyor and paid Beaver County the sum quoted by the surveyor.

And she explained that second reading is being done now so the applicant, before paying for costs, “will be offered some assurance that council will consider the road closure favourably,” when it is brought back to council.

After third reading for the road closure, she said the applicant “will pay fair market value for the land, will pay for any costs associated with the consolidation of the road into the land, and the cost of the quoted services for a consolidation of lands survey from a surveyor.”

Line of Credit Bylaw passed Holden 4-H Multi-Club volunteers

by County council sorting donated gifts before Christmas

Patricia Harcourt Beaver County enacted a Line of Credit Bylaw #22-1128 after a request from the bank the county uses for its financials.

County Council passed three readings in one sitting at the December 14 regular meeting.

“ATB Financial requires that a bylaw be passed each year to authorize the temporary line of credit (revolving loan),” explained Ed Bujnowicz, GM of Corporate Services for the county.

He explained that, “the line of credit will only occur when cash flow cannot meet actual expenditures and then only on a revolving basis,” giving the example of funds being advanced in increments and repaid as deposits are made to the account.

“Historically, the county has not used the revolving loan very often and normally only in the event of large, unexpected expenditures,” he stated, in his report to council.

“Administration invests sums of money for varying periods of time but plans for any transfers so that payroll and accounts payable requirements can be met,” he said.

He added that the annual bylaw lapses on December 31 of this year. “To ensure no lapse in availability of funds (if required), administration recommends that council pass all three readings at this meeting.”

The Holden 4-H Multi-Club volunteered for the Vegreville Christmas Bureau sorting gifts that were donated by the community. The night was a great success! The Tofield 4-H Multi-Club also volunteered to help sort toys.

OBITUARIES Joyce Evelyn Larson

October 8, 1946 December 30, 2022 With great sadness, we announce the passing of Joyce Larson on December 30, 2022, at age 76.

She will be remembered and missed by her husband Roger;

children Kirk (Shelley), Lenard and Kim (Allan); grandchildren Rhaea, Raegan, Lauryn, Larick and Levrett; brother Gordon; sisters Marion, Carol, Shirley and Linda; and many friends and relatives.

Joyce grew up in Irma, Alberta, and lived there her whole life. She worked at the Irma post office for over 20 years.

Joyce loved living on the farm where she spent lots of time outside in her yard. She showed her love by baking and cooking for her family. Camping with family, watching

curling and shopping were a few of her favourite pastimes.

Joyce was predeceased by her parents Obert and Mable Lovig; brothers Orville, Mervin, Ronald, Art and Clair; and sister Donna.

The family sincerely thanks the home care and medical staff who helped Joyce during this difficult time.

There will be a small cemetery service for the immediate family.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alberta Cancer Foundation in Joyce’s honour.
