Car Show & Cruise Patricia Harcourt Editor

Vintage vehicles from past eras cruised by tree lined streets in Viking Sunday afternoon offering a colourful display for people sitting and standing outside to watch the passing parade.

The Viking Historical Society decided to go ahead with its annual Car Show and Cruise even though the coronavirus pandemic has led to the cancellation of many other events.

All types of vehicles were on display last Sunday in a field across from the museum at the north end of town before a parade was formed led by emergency trucks with flashing lights.

Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely was the

parade marshall and led the procession in a bright red fire truck, waving and smiling to the public.

The main street of Viking became another venue for the car show. All the parade participants lined up to let everyone take another look at the beautiful vehicles.

The museum was open both before and after the cruise so people could also enjoy the vintage items on display there along with the historical information.

But after the parade, downtown became the action spot with people milling around to check out the displays of cars and trucks representing many decades.

Judges Dorothy White and Bart Hodgins looked the vehicles over and

made the decision for Judge’s Choice (1st Place), sponsored by the Viking Lions. MLA Lovely presented the award to Derek Lefsrud, accepting on behalf of the Lefsrud family, for a recently restored from scratch cherry red 1952 Mercury.

Second place went to David Oracheski for his 1958 Ford Edsel.

Making the presentation was Exalted Ruler Garry Brandt of the Viking Elks, which sponsored this trophy.

The Jr. Judge’s Trophy was judged by younger people with Austin presenting to Joey Hoffman for his vintage car.

These vintage and other types of vehicles on display that day are a labour of love for their owners, and it took the entire Lefsrud family to get

their winner ready for showing.

The car was purchased from someone in Rimbey two years ago but, “it was in pieces…It came in boxes,” said Derek Lefsrud. “There was a cab on the frame, that’s it.”

Working on it were David and Wanda Lefsrud and their sons Derek and Dexter. “It was a family event putting it together,” said David. The car was picked up in November 2018 and was ready for showing by July the following year.

Wanda Lefsrud compiled the scrap book on display at the car show outlining the steps taken to get the vehicle into the beautiful shape it is in today, complete with the cherry red paint job courtesy of her brother, Les Sawers, of Bruce.

Viking announces new solar project now producing electricity Mayor Jason Ritchie and Council of the Town of Viking are very excited to announce that the Viking Solar Project was commissioned on June 26, 2020, and is now producing power.

This project was only made possible by the cooperation of the Municipal Climate Change Action Committee (MCCAC). The town was able to access almost 44 per cent of the money required for the installation of the Viking Solar Farm. The Town of Viking applied for and received funding from the Municipal Climate Change Action Committee to install a 1.05 Megawatt solar farm east of the main lift station.

The MCCAC provided leadership and guidance throughout the research and process of selecting a reputable company for doing the project.

The cost of the project was estimated at $1.726 million. The funding from the MCCAC was over $768,000.

The town took out a 15-year debenture to cover the rest of the cost. Without this funding this project would not have occurred. The project came in on budget.

The main idea of the solar farm was to reduce the cost of the direct energy used by the town.

The solar farm is putting electricity back into the grid and we are receiving credits. The credits offset the cost of the debenture (principle and interest), therefore no tax increase. The credits will also be used to offset

the energy costs associated the Carena, Multiplex, water plant, water tower, town shop, lift stations, streetlights, and more.

Originally the thought was to install the solar panels on the Carena but due to

the orientation of the Carena and possible roof load concerns this would not be acceptable. That is when council decided to move the solar project to the town owned land. By placing the solar panels on

this property, proper orientation to the sun can be obtained. This land was chosen as the cost to commercially develop it would be prohibitive.

The contract was awarded to Dandelion

Renewables from Edmonton. The company has installed many commercial applications including the Leduc Recreation Facility and the new Irma School.

Page 4 - The Weekly Review, Wednesday, July 15, 2020 and hail came down in less than 20 minutes. And three days later there were still drifts of hail on the north side of buildings.

“A few days later, the stench and smell of rotting trees, crops and animals was very eerie indeed,” he recalled.

Ruth Lever also remembers that the weather has been similar to the way it was before the big storm in 1970. “Fifty years ago there was a lot of rain,” she said, prior to that storm. “It is a lot like this weather right now.” In fact, the province has had several tornadoes reported recently.

Ruth and Dennis Lever were busy raising a family of two girls and a boy in a brand new house in Viking while enjoying lush green conditions.

“We moved in March 1970,” she said, “on Easter weekend.” She remembered that the same contractor that built her house had been busy building other houses in town that year. “It was all going at the same time.”

The day of the storm, the couple had agreed to keep the store going at Ron and Alice Janzen’s jewellery shop. They were there when the storm hit.

“It was a horrible storm,” she said. “Power lines were down, trees were down.”

The couple’s new house took a lot of damage. “The roof damage was so bad we had to get a new roof,” she said. “This was a new home.”

Their daughters, aged 10 and 16, were home and did their best to keep the elements out. But there was glass in the house from broken windows and ice piled up to the door knob. Water also made its way in during the fury of the storm.

When it was all over the gardens and crops were gone, she said. A neighbour’s television antennae had fallen “but not on us, thank goodness.”

It was so bad that people were coming to look for a year or more, she said. “They were sightseeing there was so much damage.”

The silence was deafening as the storm had killed all birds or other animals. And there were 100-ft. trees bent down towards the ground from the gale force winds and hail.

“1970 was a horrific year,” said Ruth. “But no life was lost. That’s what we’re thankful for.”

Indeed, there was much to be thankful for as, in spite of the destruction, no human was killed.

Damages were estimated to be $5-10 million, with the Viking News showing pictures of utter devastation from the violent hailstorm. The hail that fell had been the size of golf balls and the wind went up to 70 miles per hour at its height. The storm lasted about 17 minutes but must have seemed like an eternity for those experiencing it.

There was damage in Wetaskiwin and Camrose but the storm saved the height of its fury for Viking before dying out south of Vermilion.

In its wake, bark was peeled off trees, there were banks of hailstones on sidewalks, trees and branches strewn were everywhere, roofs were lifted off buildings and shingles torn away, buildings were damaged, and hundreds of windows were smashed.

It was reported that the roof in the rear of Revelstoke Building Materials was forced by winds across the street to rest as rubble in front of Runyon’s Billiards and the Treasury Branch. And there was a photo of a large barn owned by William Taylor eight miles south of Viking with the roof lifted off and the remaining building collapsed.

Mayor Selmer Hafso was reported to describe the scene as “a disaster area,” and said the storm was more serious than the hailstorm that devastated the community in 1953.

The 1953 storm had come from the southwest, again in mid-July. Ellen Loveseth wrote in the Viking history book that: “It hit the area around the C. Brissard farm southwest of Viking and destroyed everything in its path (stunting the trees in that area for years afterwards) before it struck Viking with a vengeance.”

The 1953 storm then moved on to the Maple Lodge

Great Storm of 1970

50 Years Later Patricia Harcourt Editor

Mid-July has proven to be a turbulent time for weather in Viking and area in the past. Many residents well remember destructive storms that occurred in 1953 and 1970 that left a lasting impression in people’s memories.

The hail storm of July 14, 1953, was the first to wreak havoc in town and country with hurricane force winds that also destroyed houses in the Rodino district. Another storm on July 11, 1970, made provincial headlines for its “sudden fury,” so much so that the The Viking News headline read, “Disaster Staggers Viking.”

Fifty years later, our reporting of the anniversary coincides to the exact day the original story was reported on in the Viking newspaper.

Weather this July has been turbulent enough with a couple of occasions when buckets of rain turned the streets into lakes and flooding basements had to be pumped out and cleaned up, especially on the east side of town.

The weather so far has been reminding many people of those earlier storms and the destruction wrought by wind and hail. One resident remarked that the rain and flooding a month ago on June 15 was the worst he’d seen since that disaster in 1970.

East View Park had been under water and a lake formed west of the Alliance Church as water flowed over Hwy. 619 into town.

More rain last week on July 8 started to create the same conditions once again but the rain subsided in mid-afternoon leaving time for the water to dissipate overnight.

One resident eerily remarked that the weather this year was similar to what the Viking area had prior to the storm hitting in 1970. At that time, crops were high, gardens were up and growing, and everything was lush and beautiful. But there was a turbulence to the weather that was unsettling.

Gerard Wadley’s farm a kilometre south of town did not lose buildings but the storm wiped out 2,000 acres of crops on his land. He and Dolly were in Edmonton that weekend but he got a call telling him to get back home due to the severe storm that had just occurred.

He recalled coming back to see utter devastation; but being on the edge of the storm saved his buildings if not his crops. However, others did not fare as well. Ralph Child’s farm northeast of town had a severely damaged house, along with Nels Nordstrom’s home. Southwest of town the Leonard Gibson home was also hit hard. “They were all in the line of the storm,” said Gerard.

In town, “water was running out of basement windows,” he said, noting that “basements had six feet of water.” At the eastern edge of town “there was miles of water. It was estimated that six inches of rain

area pounding crops flat and shattering windows on several farms. Shards of glass were driven into the east side wall of Olaf Loveseth’s living room and were stuck into the piano.

Hurricane force winds then demolished the Rodino district community hall and the Glen Hollar and Ambrose Beckett farm sites.

Seventeen years later in 1970, the province’s director of emergency health measures just happened to be in the area checking on his farm crops about a mile east of town when that storm hit. Dr. A. G. McLaren was originally from Viking and reported there were few injuries and none of them serious as a result of that storm.

Jenny Bird’s accounting of the 1970 storm in “Sudden Fury,” (“Viking In Progress” history book) recalled her and husband Ken “contemplated the beauty of our view of the countryside,” but noticed a “threatening storm seemed headed our way.”

Quickly deciding to get groceries for the weekend, the couple got caught while at the store. A violent wind carrying all kinds of debris, “wind such as I, in my lifetime, had never witnessed,” occurred as the couple ran for the car and drove a short distance. But they were stopped by hail and an unnatural darkness.

“Frozen in horror, we sat as the deafening noise drummed at our ears, ice pounded metal, tree branches whipped across the hood, and the car rocked as a boat on the waves.”

After the storm passed, they returned home to find their house “in a shambles,” with broken windows and water everywhere. A bank of hailstones two feet deep blocked the doors of their built-in china cabinet in the living room.

The power was out, low areas were flooded due to clogged storm sewers, and construction tractors “sat like battleships in a sea of mud,” she stated. The town had been in the middle of a street paving project at the time.

The roof of the new tire shop blocked Railroad Avenue and main street was littered with boards and other material. A two by four was driven through the brick wall of the Treasury Bank building. Another one protruded from the rear window of a car. Jennie Bird reported that the dawn broke on a denuded landscape as the rape field across the road “looked like summer fallow…the trees (were) as though some giant rabbit had gnawed their bark right to the top.”

The silence that ensued with no leaves rustling in the breeze, no birds to sing or gophers to chirp and was deafening.

Opinion Agonizing lockdown for our seniors I understand the greatest risk of dying from COVID-19 is in our populations of seniors, but I just feel terrible for them all being under lockdown orders and separated from friends and family at the most vulnerable time of their lives.

My dad is on lockdown in Claresholm, and I am the primary visitor and allowed to drive five hours each way for a 20 minute in-person visit through a fence, 10 feet away, using masks, once per week. Dad can’t hear worth a darn, so talking through a mask doesn’t help. His other visitors are not allowed to see him in person so must pull up a chair outside his room and speak to him through a tiny window screen.

My uncle was put into an auxiliary with Alzheimers a week before lockdown. He hadn’t even adapted to being taken away from his longtime home and wife of 50-some years, before he was shut away from the world. His feelings of abandonment and forsakenness do not lead to better health but rather forlorn, hopelessness, and surrendering to ensuing death.

I have made a lot of friends in several seniors facilities. Like my dad and my uncle, they have been safe from Coronavirus but exposed to extreme loneliness, boredom and depression.

One of my friends at a facility told me the staff have been doing a great job coping with an increased workload, but the restrictions have none the less “decreased our enjoyment here.”

He added: “Our internal social activity has virtually collapsed. Meals are in two separate shifts. Seating changed to only two at a table. Social distancing is required inside. Group activities limited and table games have been removed. Everything is sterilized after use.”

He went on to say that the loss of live sports on TV has been sorely missed by residents, both men and women. Because of BLM riots and protests the residents miss the live police shows which have been removed from the airwaves.

“Hockey, baseball, football and curling were a topic every day. Covid and politics are of little interest (to residents),” he reports.

Also suffering from the deepest of sorrow are friends and family. A short visit through a window, by phone, or while social distancing might be the safest visit, but it can’t replace a loving hug for mental well-being.

There is no end in sight for this senior isolation either. I know many appreciate the fact that our elders are as safe as possible from the pandemic, but what kind of life is this? Goodness, many of these elders are experiencing health difficulties and can’t even feel the reassuring touch of a spouse, friend, child or their grandchildren.

Dying with dignity is important, but so is living with dignity. Let’s all be more attentive, patient, and most of all understanding of the hardships being cast upon our seniors.

I have no answers, other than to say that it is just gut-wrenching to watch and experience.

Common Sense Articles written by Peter McArthur based on historical knowledge gleaned over many years.

Answering a pandemic; first let me say Alberta has performed admirably in response to COVID-19.

Yet there are lessons to be learned here that might have saved a great deal of hardship; or should I call it elder abuse; which in truth and reality has been the case for some.

Let me explain this briefly: when you enter the “Golden Years,” everyone thinks that you can now relax and do as you please. Wouldn’t that be wonderful! But for many seniors in their golden years, they are unable to decide for themselves what they wish to do in the days ahead. They are cooped up in a facility run by a governing body, authorized by the population at large, that allows the management and/or governing body to deny them visitation rights, either by relatives or friends - all in fear of COVID-19. In this way they are being protected; from what or from who I ask?

Most of these people are living out their ‘Golden Years’ when every visitor is appreciated and every breath of fresh air feels great. They do not expect much more than their meals and proper care; God knows how many citizens they have cared for in the past! Yet they are being denied a simple visit by a friend or relative when this would be the most welcome thing in the world for most of

them. Denying these visits has created a great deal of unnecessary stress; there has to be a way we can do better.

Suppose that at an average age of 80 years, these elder citizens have been denied the visitations that I speak of for 100 days during a lockdown: This happens to be the most important 100 days of their remaining lifetime. The best 100 days for most of them. This is a sad truth about the lock-down. Put yourself in their shoes and take a glance at how this diminishes your enjoyment of life.

May I suggest that we must find a way to do better.

Utilizing a little common sense, nobody would want to be denied a visit by a dear friend or relative during these ‘Golden Years;’ then we can and must do better! At the moment I want to acknowledge and thank our very dedicated historical writer of local History, Mrs. Irene Toverud, who has served the Viking community so well over so many years writing of times gone by that only she could put down as the events had occurred many long years ago.

Irene’s contribution will always be retrievable by younger generation, who could at best wonder how people survived and lived in the early days of this country.

Thank you, Irene for each and every contribution that you so kindly submitted to print.

Word on the Street: individual not following quarantine On July 7, police received a fraud complaint.

The complainant received a call from a subject who stated he was from a pharmacy and was questioning a prescription.

The complainant provided his date of birth to the subject. When questioned what pharmacy they were calling from the call was ended. The following day the complainant received a call from the bank advising that their account had been compromised. This matter is still under investigation.

That afternoon, police responded to a complaint of assault. Police attended the location provided and determined an argument between family members ensued regarding the cleanliness of their residence. A family member grabbed another and threatened harm to them. This matter is still under investigation.

On July 9, police received a complaint of an

older male contacting a young female. The male has been spoken to and advised to not contact the female.

That evening, police received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle with three young males inside driving around a rural area. The vehicle in question was not located.

On July 11, police received information regarding an individual who was not following self isolating rules. The information was passed on to Alberta Health Services for their follow up.

That evening, police conducted a curfew check on an individual currently on a court order.

Checks were completed and the subject was not located at their designated residence. The 35year-old male has been charged for breaching his court order.

On July 12, police received a complaint that a 35-year-old male had not been seen or spoken to

Father and son rescued from Miquelon Lake Several partner agencies worked together on July 11 to rescue a father and his nine-year-old son who found themselves stranded on Miquelon Lake.

At 7:40 p.m. Camrose RCMP received a call for assistance for missing swimmers at Miquelon Lake. A father and son were floating on an inflatable tube and had not been seen or heard from for hours. Neither had a cell phone and family members were alarmed.

Camrose County Fire, Police Dog Service, and RCMP Air Services were contacted to assist. Two boats were on scene but had difficulty due to low water levels. With the assistance of EPS Air 1 the

two subjects were located around 11 p.m. They were approximately two miles across the lake, stranded along the shore line. They were disoriented, and had lost their paddle, so they waited for assistance. Both were uninjured and returned safely to the Miquelon Park via EPS Air 1.

Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP, EPS Air 1, Camrose County Fire Services, Miquelon Lake Park staff, and volunteers all participated in the successful outcome of this incident. The RCMP thank all partner agencies for stepping up to assist. This situation may have had a more problematic outcome for the stranded subjects had they not been located so quickly.

Beaver Weekly Review recognized for 2019 Bruce Stampede coverage Regional Arts Society cancels upcoming season Christine Mackay The Beaver Regional Arts Society in Holden has cancelled the upcoming 2020-2021 Season Performances at the Paragon Theatre in Holden.

It was a difficult decision to make as last season we celebrated 40 years of performances, but there is just too much uncertainty with the coronavirus pandemic for us to proceed with booking artists and making plans.

We are grateful to everyone for their past support and we hope we will be able to count on your support in the future.

The Weekly Review was recently awarded second prize in the Better N e w s p a p e r s Competition (BNC) Awards for “superb” coverage of the 2019 Bruce Stampede.

The newspaper won in the BNC Awards of Excellence Category for “Best Feature Story by a Local Writer,” entitled “Muddy Gritty Awesome action at Bruce Stampede,” crediting Patricia Harcourt, who also took the parade photographs.

But the newspaper’s

overall coverage of the Stampede that year also received high praise as “exemplary.”

Photographer Ally Anderson’s three page spread of rodeo photos was called “fantastic” in the Alberta Weekly N e w s p a p e r s ’ Association’s contest announcement.

“Fantastic Ally Anderson photographs,” began the judges’ comments, “spread over three pages, (that) document the 2019 annual Stampede at Bruce, Alberta (population

Forestburg

Area 53 Raceway

about 50) - site of Canada’s oldest one-day professional rodeo competition.

“This superb photofeature shows the 106th annual version - downpour, mud, sodden but determined paraders -

and in the end, prize money, a program that lasted three days, plus a list of winners: It’s a package of exemplary local journalism.”

Composition and layout of the newspaper’s content is credited to Eric

Anderson, the Weekly Review’s publisher.

After those accolades, the Weekly Review regrets to report that there will be no coverage of this year’s stampede as it was cancelled due to pandemic restrictions.

This news was met with some areas of the province confused about being left out of the initial group of hires, including Beaver County and Flagstaff.

In an interview with Caribou Publishing on Tuesday morning, Alberta Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer addressed the situation.

“What was announced earlier this month was the first wave of new police officers that will be here on the ground in rural Alberta.

“It’s a part of our $286 million partnership with municipalities and the federal government that was announced late last year.”

Twenty-five detachments in the province received new frontline police positions, with five of those in the Eastern Alberta District; one each in Athabasca, Bonnyville, Cold Lake, Elk Point, and St. Paul.

Camrose, in the Central Alberta District, also received one new officer, as did Stettler.

Other positions filled include 10 positions at the RCMP Call Back Unit, (CBU) who focus support to rural detachments by managing lower priority calls that do not require direct police attendance, including reports of stolen property, minor motor vehicle accidents, gas-n-dash, and general inquiries.

Rural detachments also benefit indirectly from two new K-Member Operational Support positions, embedded in Operational Communications Centres, providing policing support 24/7 to all detachments in the province.

Other specialized units in the province also received additional staffing.

Schweitzer says through the new initiative, the Province is planning to have 300 new police officers for rural Alberta, plus 200 support staff. “This year we will get a total of 76, so another 30 officers are going to arrive later this year in our province.”

He says support staff are important because they keep our police officers, “Out in our communities. They allow them to fill out their paperwork remotely so that they can continue to be out there patrolling our streets keeping people safe.”

He adds that there will be further announcements this year as officers arrive, and that this is going to be a continual thing over the next “three, four, five years, as we get to that full complement of 300 new officers on the ground.”

Schweitzer says, “When you think about it, there are four districts in Alberta that

comprise our rural communities and you have to think of how the different detachments support one another. When one’s really busy the other ones will come and support.

“Getting additional resources into every one of those districts is really important, because it allows us to cover more territory.

“We heard loud and clear last year that we need to get better response times to emergency situations, we had instances where people had to wait over an hour response time just because of the distances we had to travel in our rural communities.

“The announcement last year, and this newest one is the proof of people starting to arrive in response to that cry for help.”

Schweitzer answered a few questions about the Alberta Police Advisory Board, also included in the late fall announcement, that is made up of municipal leaders, through the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA) and Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA).

At the July 2 announcement, both associations reinforced the need for greater input into determining where increased rural policing resources are distributed.

Schweitzer said, “The committee was created with members from the RMA and AUMA, and we presently have a working group with those two organizations right now that are setting that up.

“It will go to a more formalized process over the next six to 12 months as we work through the startup phase, but it’s active now; we are receiving their feedback. We have had a preliminary meeting and are going to have another followup meeting this summer and talk through the priorities of policing in Alberta.

“That’s really important. When you ask people to contribute financially they need to have a seat at the table and in the decision-making process, and that work is ongoing.

“Policing is at its best when it is accountable to local officials and making sure that they know what’s happening on the ground and in communities.”

With regards to the placement of officers in the first wave, Schweitzer indicated that it was part of an ongoing conversation with the RCMP. “We have worked with them in setting out priorities for the province and different areas in this, as well as working with the Alberta Police Advisory Board to be sure we know where the hotspots are, as far as where crime rates are higher. We’ve been listening to experts on the ground as resources, but we helped set the priorities with the RCMP.” Given the current staffing shortages in Killam and Viking Detachments, we asked if the province has any concerns about the RCMP being able to meet the proposed

staffing capabilities.

Schweitzer said, “I think this first wave arriving is an indication that the RCMP is taking this commitment seriously and that they have delivered so far. We are going to make sure that we continue to hold them accountable to deliver on what they have committed to doing. That’s where the Alberta Police Advisory Board comes in; we’ve been clear that with these municipalities now part of the financial perspective, and in order to make sure that they get a return on their investment, we have to hold the RCMP accountable to deliver new officers and support staff on the ground.”

With regards to how rural municipalities can be transparent in how much residents are paying under the new agreement, Schweitzer responded, “Eighty per cent of Albertans are already paying for policing costs as part of their municipal taxes; this is simply bringing that norm to the remaining 20 per cent of Albertans.”

He noted that the costs are phased over a number of years starting at 10 per cent and slowly working up to 30 per cent of the actual policing cost. “We are trying to do this in as thoughtful a way as possible to give municipalities a way to plan for the future.

“The other thing that is important to recognize. I haven’t found one municipal leader in rural Alberta that didn’t believe that rural crime is a serious issue and that more needed to be done, and this is part of the solution to deal with rural crime.

“One other thing that people can look forward to this fall is that the Rapid Force will start to come online as well. That is 400 sheriffs, fish and wildlife officers, and commercial vehicle officers that are being trained right now to help respond to emergencies in rural Alberta.

“If you take a look at the big picture from where we started and hopefully where we are going to end in five years, we are going from about 1,600 police officers to 1,900 police officers, plus an additional 400 sheriffs that can respond to emergencies. So it’s

going from 1,600 to 2,300 law enforcement personnel to respond to emergencies in rural Alberta.”

Discussing Beaver County Reeve Jim Kallal’s concerns about paying $80 per capita with no guarantees that Viking or Tofield Detachments will see additional officers, Schweitzer says, “This is the first of many announcements of police officers arriving in the province of Alberta.

“If municipal leaders have concerns about the allocations, they should reach out to their local RMA and AUMA representative on the Alberta Police Advisory Board, from their district, and help develop the district strategy with those representatives.

That can then be presented to the Board, and that information can then be shared with the RCMP to help them set priorities for the area.

“I really would remind people that this really is a team effort with the RCMP, and the more resources that they have on the ground in a particular district means they can cover more territory, because they really do support each other in responding to community issues and concerns. Having more resources on the ground in the whole district is going to make everybody’s lives better.”

In closing, Schweitzer says, “We’ve heard loud and clear that we need more police officers on the ground in rural communities, that is pretty much every corner of Alberta. I encourage local municipal leaders to reach out to their RMA and AUMA representatives to help develop a regional strategy and then we can bring that forward through that process and deal with those concerns in future allotments of RCMP officers as they come to Alberta.”

Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely added, “I find Minister Schweitzer’s time investment, by travelling through the province and listening to the concerns of residents, with the town halls that we’ve had has really helped him develop a concise plan so that we can move forward and get rural crime addressed in our province.”

2 - Beaver County Chronicle, July 15, 2020

Active COVID-19 cases confirmed for Beaver, Flagstaff Counties Leslie Cholowsky Alberta Health Services has updated its interactive provincial map to show local active COVID-19 cases in the region.

Beaver County has two active cases and has weathered a few cases already, as has Camrose County, where three active cases are presently located.

Flagstaff County now has its first confirmed active case as well.

Paintearth also had its first recorded case this week and are now up to three.

County of Stettler now has nine active cases.

Alberta Health will not release details on a specific community or area in the County where the case occurred.

There’s no cause for alarm, but it’s a reminder to continue to follow Alberta Health guidelines and to practice healthy social and personal hygiene.

Albertans are legally required to isolate for two reasons: for 14 days if they have returned to Alberta from outside Canada, or if they have been diagnosed or are in close contact with someone with COVID19; and for 10 days if they have any symptoms that are not related to a preexisting illness or health condition. These include cough, fever, shortness of breath, runny nose, or sore throat.

Alberta Health recommends arranging to be tested for COVID-19 if any symp-

toms are present.

Most businesses have protocols in place to make it as safe as possible to operate and visit, and the province recently increased the number of people allowed at events and gatherings in the province.

The ABTraceTogether mobile contact tracing app is a non-invasive tool you can download to your phone that will allow Alberta Health to contact you if you came into contact with someone who was later diagnosed with COVID-19. It does not share your phone contacts or social media friends list.

It operates using bluetooth technology that recognizes proximity to another phone with the app running, and saves that contact in a log.

If someone using the app develops COVID-19, Alberta Health uses the contact information you provided when you installed the application to let you know by using the infected person’s log to find out about any app users they were in close contact with. Supplying the log information is completely voluntary.

Information is stored on the phone for 21 days.

More guidelines and tips can be found at alberta.ca, and testing can be arranged by contacting Healthlink by dialing 811.

You can also contact Healthlink with questions about COVID-19.

Beaver County Victim Services would like to give a huge thank you to everyone for their support and participation in our Annual RON ROBINSON MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT on June 23rd. Our tournament this year had a total of 88 participants and we raised $5900.

We want to thank all of our sponsors, donators, volunteers, RCMP members and golfers. Without all of you, we would not be able to make this tournament happen, and due to your efforts and support, we can continue to help victims of crime and tragedy in our communities.

Beaver County Chronicle, July 15, 2020 - 3

Wetlands to be drained for BMS expansion Patricia Harcourt Delegates from Beaver Municipal Solutions (BMS) and Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions attended the June 3 meeting of Beaver County Council to provide an overview on a Wetland Assessment and Impact Reports regarding a BMS expansion project.

BMS owns and operates the sanitary landfill at N1/2 10 and W1/2 of 11 in 50-17-W4. BMS is proposing to expand the landfill into SE 10-50-17-W4 and upgrade the surface water management facility at SW 11, stated Assistant CAO Margaret Jones in her report to council.

“A wetland assessment and impact report has been prepared for each proposal to identify and classify wetlands impacted by the proposed expansion/upgrade and develop mitigation measures to minimize and avoid wetlands,” stated Jones.

“Administration has no concerns with either proposal.”

After reviewing the reports from Feb. 19, council asked the delegates to attend “to provide further explanation and answer questions,” said Jones.

The reports were submitted by Alberta Environment for council’s comments with a deadline of mid-June.

Following the presentation June 3, council passed a motion to accept the reports as information and to advise Alberta Environment that Beaver County Council has no comments or concerns regarding the wetland assessment and impact reports for the BMS’ proposed landfill expansion and surface water management facilities upgrade.

As well as the expansion, BMS is currently in the process of going through the process to become a municipally controlled corporation. All five owner municipalities have held hearings on the issue, with Beaver County holding an in person hearing Wednesday of this week at the Ryley Community Hall.

In terms of the expansion project, the Wetland

Assessment and Impact Report for the Beaver Regional Landfill expansion was conducted by Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions.

The expansion is proposed for south of the existing landfill which is located about three kilometres north of Highway 14, northeast of the Village of Ryley.

The expansion includes two quarter sections of land south of the existing landfill and subject to the existing Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act (EPEA), states the background information of the report.

The proposal includes the construction of a water diversion channel, and closure of the existing lagoon discharge channel by removing water and excavating the area.

“BMS also proposes removal (drainage and excavating) of all remaining water bodies and wetlands within SE10 50-17-W4M in preparation for future landfill expansion and development,” states the report.

“The proposed works including the future landfill development and the realignment of the ditch will result in the loss or displacement of the wetlands within SE10 50-17-W4M,” the report goes on to state. “And ephemeral water body losses within the landfill expansion will be applicable to the Alberta Water Act and Wetland Policy.”

Later in the report it was stated under discussion of the “Species at Risk” Act, “…the project is not anticipated to adversely affect critical habitat for species of conservation concern.”

With nesting birds protected under the Alberta Wildlife Act and the federal Migratory Bird Convention Act, the report recommends leaving undisturbed breeding birds and their young from Feb. 15 to Aug. 15. This means timing constraints would be in effect for any removal, alteration or disturbance of vegetation, infilling of wetlands or other disturbances during that time.

2020 Construction Schedule Schedule is subject to change depending on the weather.

Note of Thanks from CALP

It’s been a month since the Premier of Alberta announced Phase 2 of Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy and as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, I share with you a cautious excitement of the relaxation of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have all felt the impact that the Provincially-mandated limitations placed on our personal lives, social interactions, and workplaces over the last 4 months, but we have weathered this storm together and can now enjoy certain freedoms within a continued framework of proper hygiene and safety protocols.

With respect to County operations, staff have been working in the office from the beginning of the pandemic and will continue to provide the essential services our residents and taxpayers need. For the health and safety of our customers, community, and staff, we are taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus and are limiting staff interaction with the public.

For the time being, the County Services Centre remains open to the public with access restrictions. The Services Centre main door is locked, however customers who must conduct business at the Office will be admitted to a maximum capacity of 2 visitors at a time. In-person meetings are limited and must be made by appointment.

I am pleased to announce that on July 17, on-line reservations for group camping at the County’s campgrounds will be accepted for arrivals beginning July 24. Playgrounds, beaches, showers, and cookhouses will be available for public use, and I invite you to enjoy these facilities while remaining mindful of the health risk inherent in high-use areas.

AN Note t off Th Thanks k and dA Appreciation i ti This year has been a busy year of building our program and strengthening relationships in Beaver County and area. As we reflect on our progress, we would like to express our appreciation to our learners, tutors and our community partners.

We will continue to offer both small classes and one on one tutoring in Basic Math, Reading and Writing, Digital Skills and English Language Learning. We are planning to offer the New Futures Career Transition Program in the fall as well as some, general interest courses open to all Beaver County and area residents.

Our office will have reduced hours over the summer but we will check phone messages and emails weekly.

We Look forward to seeing you in the Fall.

Beaver County unty Community ty Adult Learning Staff and an Council

The County will be closely monitoring the success of Phase 2 and we look forward to the day when restrictions can be further relaxed. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Until that day comes, I encourage you to explore the County’s website for a wealth of information regarding our services and partnerships with other organizations, as well as access to on-line forms, notices, etc. Staff are available and happy to assist you by phone or e-mail during regular business hours.

Be encouraged – keep your chin up – and enjoy the summer in our beautiful region.

Range Road 182 and Bruce Update Very soon our contractor will be applying the first lift of Chip Seal to Range Road 182 and in Bruce where we have cemented the base. The road may be temporarily closed during the application of the Chip Seal.

Following this application, there will be loose rock chips which can damage vehicles, especially at higher travelling speeds. You are encouraged to drive slowly on the fresh chips until the road can be brushed off, or avoid the road altogether.

Please note that these dates are weather dependent and can be affected by changing weather.

During this construction phase, please use another route, or be cautious when you need to drive through construction zones (local traffic only).

Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general public. Already this year we have had people exceeding the posted speed limit through our construction zones, endangering staff, contractors and the public. Thank you for your support and patience while we improve the road network.

Township Road 514 Construction Update Over the next few weeks, Township Road 514 from Range Road 193 to 195, will be upgraded from a gravel surface to an all-weather hard surfaced road. This involves stabilizing the road base with soil cement before applying two coats of “chip seal”. While this process is much different from the process to pave a road with asphalt, the end result will seem similar to residents and the travelling public resulting in a road that is not dusty when it is dry, nor muddy when it is wet.

During this time, the road may be closed to allow crews to work safely; however, access for local landowners will be maintained during construction. 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.

If possible please use another route, or be cautious when you need to drive through construction zones (local traffic only).

Beaver County's goal is to provide a healthy, injury free work environment for all employees, contractors, visitors and general public.

Already this year we have had people exceeding the posted speed limit through our construction zones, endangering staff, contractors and the public.

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.

Horse club holding clinic and show with Brettzky donation Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking light horse club is planning a clinic and schooling show with funds received from the Brettzky hockey tournament.

“We are working towards working equitation and working cow horse events,” said Carole Poche, Viking Equine Outriders instructor.

“We invested the money into a mechanical cow and have been working this mechanical cow to help improve our horses’ timing, stops, turns, and departures.

“We plan to put on a working equitation clinic and school show the last weekend of August or first weekend of September,” she said.

“Working equitation is a newer discipline in North America and was first developed in Portugal and Spain.”

Roche explained: “There are four components to this discipline. The first is dressage, a pattern at walk,

trot, and cantor demonstrating the quality of gaits and obedience of the horse. The second component is an obstacle course, gaits, bridges, intricate patterns, and such. The third component is riding the obstacle course with precision speed, and it is timed.

“The last component is a team cattle sorting event that stems from Spanish vaquero cowboy work,” she said.

“Our goal is to be able to learn and demonstrate this portion as few people in North America are working on the entire discipline.”

The Brettzky funding allows the event to be held at the Viking Rodeo Grounds in late August or early September.

Roche is welcoming everyone to come out to watch or join in the clinic.

“We will offer some sort of concession and social distancing, one horse’s length apart, will be maintained.”

A member of the Viking Equine Outriders horse club practices with her horse on the mechanical cow purchased thanks to a donation from the Brettzky organization.

Thank you to all the RCMP for their dedication and service in keeping our communities safe!

Hon. Damien Kurek, M.P., Battle River-Crowfoot

Canada Day activities On Canada’s 153rd birthday, my staff and I had a blast traveling across Battle RiverCrowfoot to hand out ice-cream and Canadian swag at popup locations in Drumheller, Provost, and Camrose.

Although celebrations looked very different this year due to COVID-19, it was great to see such a huge groundswell of Canadian pride.

During these tough times I, like many of you, have questioned and worried about the direction of our country since Justin Trudeau and the Liberals were elected in 2015. While we can point to the way he has damaged Canada’s reputation, divided our federation, eroded our democratic institutions and hurt our economy, I truly still believe that Canada remains the greatest country in the world.

Together we are better. A united Canada is what we need in the face of economic turmoil, the challenges of COVID-19, global instability, and regional grievances.

Throughout our history we have seen that time and time again Canadians are up to the task, no matter the odds.

I have a tremendous amount of faith in Canadians and the contributions each and every one of us make to our nation. From coast to coast to coast, we are full of hardworking, respectful, brave, innovative, resilient, and patriotic people who want our great nation to succeed.

Since being elected, I have been heard many

stories that show the best of who we are.

I hear from our men and women who have or currently don our nation’s uniform, standing up for what is right both at home and abroad.

Countless folks who run small businesses have shown resilience in the face of significant challenges, and yet remain optimistic about the future. We are a people who put our ingenuity and innovation to work in solving problems despite everything. I am reminded often of the simple fact that we never give up.

As we continue on through the summer let us not forget to be proud of our nation.

Not because we are perfect or because any government is the solution, but because our people stand strong. And let us not forget those who serve, those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and those who come home, many with seen or unseen scars, members past and present of the Canadian Forces.

Whether Vimy Ridge, the beaches of Normandy, our many peacekeeping missions, relief during humanitarian crisis, or over the last number of months helping Canadians in seniors facilities during the current health crisis, these women and men are examples of the best of Canada.

I am proud of Canada, Alberta’s place in our federation, and this beautiful rural region. It is truly an honour to serve as your Member of Parliament, both through the good times and the bad. As

we celebrate the Dominion of Canada’s 153rd birthday, Happy Canada Day and let us not give up.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about seniors’ issues please do not hesitate to contact my office.

My staff and I are ready to help.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column you are encouraged to write Damien at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-6084600, text 403.575-5625, or e-mail damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca . You can also stay up to date with what Damien is up to by following him on social media @dckurek.

$90k Bitcoin fraud prevented On July 3, 2020, Alberta RCMP initiated an investigation into a phone scam incident.

The victim had received a phone call from scammers pretending to be from the CRA and RCMP. The scammers fabricated a story to the victim that his identity had been compromised and his identity was involved in money laundering.

The scammers led the victim to believe that to protect his money, he would need to deposit his money into a Bitcoin account; which was actually controlled by the scammer.

The victim went to the Bitcoin machine as instructed by the scammer, but the RCMP warning poster and the vigilance of an employee at the business prevented the victim from completing the transaction.

“These are not small crimes; people are losing their life savings to these scams,” said Cst. Andrew Devine. “No

Bitcoins are an unsecured and non-refundable form of cryptocurrency or “virtual” currency. They are not issued or guaranteed by any bank or government and are not considered legal tender in Canada.

The Red Deer RCMP have started an initiative to post warnings on Bitcoin ATMs across the province, warning users of the potential for fraud.

“The more awareness we can spread about the risks associated with using Bitcoins, the better,” says Cst. Devine.

“In this particular case, the gentleman was just seconds away from losing his life savings.

Fortunately, the warning poster and the business employee intervened and prevented the irreversible transaction.”

The Weekly Review, Wednesday, July 15, 2020 - Page 15

LETTER Viking Solar Power Generation Project is operational as of June 26, 2020.

Dandelion Renewables has worked closely with the Town of Viking to take advantage of the Alberta Municipal Solar Program rebates to cover a large portion (44%) of costs to build a 1MW solar PV groundmounted power generation system.

Dandelion Renewables has installed a total of 2,880 solar modules with a total capacity over 1MWp in Viking. This Solar Power Plant is expected to begin producing power in the first half of 2020. Through this project, Dandelion Renewables and the Town of Viking have added value to an otherwise swampy prairie land and turned it into a beacon of future that will bring the province of Alberta one step closer to a clean energy future.

The Town of Viking has demonstrated great leadership to its fellow Albertan communities in taking on the development of local renewable energy resources and ensuring a successful completion of this project.

This renewable energy system will bring both environmental benefits and cost savings for the entire town as a whole.

The Viking solar PV sys-

tem is expected to produce 1.4GWh/year of electricity to offset 100% of the annual electrical consumption of multiple municipal buildings and sites, including the Carena Complex (Arena and Recreational Centre), Multiplex Curling Club and Golf Course, Community Hall, Museum, Station Gallery and Arts Centre Guild, parks, airport, offices, water tower, and wastewater treatment and handling sites.

The municipal facilities provide services for Viking’s population near 1,000 people and 500 households. For comparison, a 1MW solar PV system can produce enough annual electricity to power 215 average households.

The solar power generated is expected to save the Town of Viking over $100,000 per year in electricity costs (based on January 2020 power prices) while reducing grid electricity GHG emissions by over 740 tonnes CO2e per year (equivalent to the emissions of 160 gasoline vehicles). The town will use this savings to pay the debenture taken out to finance the project.

Grid electricity prices have been rising recently, including the removal of a rate cap (6.8 cents/kWh)

It’s BBQ Time!

from power prices by the UCP Alberta government in November 2019. Solar power generation can provide the Town of Viking with greater cost savings during higher grid power prices and provides protection from future fluctuations in grid power prices.

Solar power generation will provide the Town of Viking with decades of benefits including positive yearly cash flow, positive return on investment, quiet clean local power generation, and a demonstration of renewable energy commitment to attract environmentally conscious business growth.

Dandelion Renewables is proud to have been selected by the Town of Viking to work together in making the solar PV installation a success. Our team at Dandelion Renewables appreciates the warmth by which it was welcomed by the local community and support it has gotten from the town administration.

Your town can be next!

The Alberta Municipal Solar Program (AMSP) facilitates Albertan municipalities in the installation of micro-generation solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on lands and facilities administered by the municipality.
