Sutter named NHL’s coach of the year Patricia Harcourt Editor

Calgary Flames head coach and Viking's own Darryl Sutter recently received another major accolade to add to his list of achievements in the hockey world.

Viking’s native son was awarded the 2021-22 Jack Adams Award, which is given to the National Hockey League's head coach of the year.

The presentation was made via video link by his older brother Brian Sutter, himself a winner of the award in 1991 as a young head coach of the St. Louis Blues.

The presentation by his brother appeared to take Darryl to a nostalgic place as he made his acceptance speech. It was aired on Sportsnet during this year’s Western Conference Finals.

“Thanks Brian, I am honoured to be informed by you of this award.

Brian won the award in 1991 so that’s a long time ago. And I think back to when he won it and the great job he did, especially being a young NHL head coach and the pressures that we face. So I’m honoured to be told by Brian. I accept the Jack Adams Award on behalf of my family.”

Sutter famously got his start as an NHL player for the Chicago Blackhawks appearing in 406 games and wearing the captain's 'C' before retiring due to injury in 1987.

He served as new head coach of the Blackhawks in 1992-93, before moving on to San Jose where he coached for six seasons.

Before being re-hired by the NHL's Flames in 2021, Sutter had

already served as head coach and general manager for the club for nearly a decade from 2002 to late 2010. He moved on to become head coach of the Los Angeles Kings where he won two Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014.

He brought the big silver cup home to Viking where the entire community was able to come out and view it and take pictures along with Darryl himself.

Many thought he was nearing retirement but Sutter said in past interviews he kept an eye on the home teams in Alberta, and saw Calgary was not achieving its potential.

He left as an advisor to the Anaheim Ducks coaching staff and once again took over as Calgary's head coach in the 2021 season.

Although the Flames didn’t make the playoffs that year, Sutter’s first full season with the team this year paid off in a big way.

The team succeeded in achieving the sixth best record in the NHL at 50-21-11 and won the Pacific Division title.

Sutter is now being credited for guiding Calgary to achieving the fastest comeback from one season to another of any NHL team, likely one of several reasons he earned the Jack Adams Award .

That momentum kept building under his guiding hand. The 202122 season saw the Flames make it to Round 2 of the playoffs including an exciting Battle of Alberta against the Edmonton Oilers.

But for Darryl, earning the award as best head coach this past year must have been made a little sweeter with his brother Brian’s words as he made the presentation.

Photo credit: Twitter

“This award is really special and unique,” said Brian, adding it was being given “to a good friend and brother.”

The members of the NHL Broadcasters’ Association vote by ballot to make their choice for the award, with Darryl being the top of three finalists.

At 63, Sutter has been an NHL head coach for 20 years, and was himself a finalist for the Jack Adams Award during his first stint with the Calgary Flames.

The Sutter hockey legacy is still strong in the Viking community. A mural painted on a wall of the old Carena, which burned down nearly two decades ago, is preserved for posterity adjacent to the Viking Medical Clinic downtown.

The mural depicts the six Sutter boys, who honed their hockey skills in Viking’s old Carena, before moving on to star in the NHL. Parents Grace and the late Louis Sutter raised the family on a nearby farm.

Grace now lives in town but still

keeps up with all the hockey action of her family. She is especially proud of Darryl’s achievement and said she was kept on tenderhooks during the playoffs, especially when Calgary and Edmonton faced off.

“His mother is very happy for him and his family’s proud of him,” she told the Weekly Review.

“He deserved it. It was remarkable he could win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014, that just doesn’t happen.”

She says she keeps the pictures on her phone and the video presentation on her iPad and has listened to it several times.

Darryl and his family still farm on the original farmstead. In a recent television interview, he said he was looking forward to doing “some farm work (and) getting out in the hills” upon his return home.

Grace is expecting him home soon and also looks forward to spending time with him after his latest triumph.

Viking establishing infrastructure project cooperative venture with county Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Town of Viking is establishing a cooperative project with Beaver County, and taking the lead in forming a regional infrastructure master plan.

A motion was passed

by Viking Council to enter into an agreement with the Province of Alberta to apply for a 2021/22 Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) conditional grant of $200,000.

The county passed a motion in support of the town’s submission for the partnership grant application in January for the town to develop a regional infrastructure master plan.

There would be no matching contribution required from the county for the project.

Councillor Cindy Lefsrud made the motion

stating that “council would go forward with the collaborative grant.”

The $200,000 grant’s stated purpose is the following: “The purpose of the grant is to support the collaboration of the grant recipient and Beaver County to develop a regional infrastructure master plan.”

The Town of Viking is the project manager and “will manage the administration of funds on behalf of the project participants.” states the agreement.

Beaver County had agreed in December 2019 to partner with the town on a stormwater management study that included the drainage channel between the town and Thomas Lake, explained the county’s Assistant CAO Margaret Jones, in her report to council at the January meeting.

This initial study was

Exciting weekend in Viking Patricia Harcourt Editor

This coming weekend is going to be full of fun and entertainment as Viking once again holds its two major festivals in mid-June as is the tradition over the years.

Cloverlodge Stampede will take place over two days, starting off with a parade Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in conjunction with the Viking Community Festival.

The rodeo action starts with a 4 p.m. performance Saturday and continues on Sunday with an afternoon performance at 1 p.m.

The weekend will be full of activities such as a

also funded under the ACP program with a draft report in June of the following year.

“It indicated that the Town of Viking’s drainage system represents a very small portion of the catchment area for Thomas Lake and any increase in the lake levels is not likely attributable to the town’s drainage system,” Jones stated, of the draft report.

“The report suggests that the county may wish to undertake a regional assessment to develop strategies to identify drainage corridors to interconnect and drain some low lying areas around the lake.”

The county has completed a wetland study in the Thomas Lake watershed area, identifying drained wetlands that may qualify for wetland replacement funding through the Provincial Wetland Replacement Program.

“The goal of the initiative is to encourage landowners to hold water upstream of the town,” stated Jones. “The county has only recently begun to communicate/educate affected landowners about this program.”

An open house by the county was held on April 12 at the Viking Carena Complex for anyone interested in the Thomas Lake study.

The town and county had applied in late 2020 to the ACP program for Phase 2 of the study but its application was denied.

Now the town is reapplying for Phase 2 funding, and the county is supporting it and no funds are required. This time, however, the funding for the ACP grant will concentrate on the town’s infrastructure.

However Jones stated that, “the study will further consider solutions

for mitigating downstream water management,” such as surge ponds, storage areas, and “may identify the impact of drainage from the county into the Town of Viking’s drainage system.’

If approved, there will be a one-time ACP grant

issued with the first installment of $150,000 within one month of the Minister of Municipal Affairs signing the agreement.

Then, once the town must has submitted a report to the minister and it is approved, the remaining grant

Letter to the Editor: 4-H show organizers upset over Carena comments Dear Editor: It is with great discontent that we read the comments made by CAO Sherry Garbe to town council regarding the recent cattle shows held at the Carena. Judging from the buzz of the phone lines Thursday morning, we are not the only ones who were disgusted by the inaccurate information provided regarding these events. The words of the CAO, as quoted in the council meeting report, are not only scathing in her description of our organization’s use of the facility but are inaccurate and frankly border on non- truth. While it may be easy to say that her comments were taken out of context, her choice of words and description of this event are insulting! We are speaking as rebuttal to these comments, not as representatives of the groups which participated in these events, but as individuals who were the primary organizers of both events.

As the local community youth beef group was to host the county event this year, we felt it would be an opportunity for our local kids to hold the event in their hometown.

This has not occurred for approximately seven years. We felt it would also be an opportunity to bring some interest and income to town, provide opportunity for school kids to see what the beef program is about, and facilitate the ability of our older family members to attend the events. It was also in support of our local facility which has not hosted any ag-related events for many years.

Prior to planning, we composed a very detailed letter describing what that these cattle-based events would encompass from time frames, equipment needs, floor plan set up, the use of straw and shavings, the need for wheelchair accessible bathrooms, potential for food availability through the concession, etc. We requested specifics regarding use of private vs town equipment to move panels and other equipment, access and exit dates, and cost per day to utilize the facility.

This letter was sent to the former CAO January 10, 2022. We received confirmation from the CAO that the letter had been received but he requested more information which he received January 12. After no communication was received in response, we contacted the town office and were requested to resend the information to the then acting CAO. This was completed same day February 7. We received an email from the facility manager later that date stating “certain we can accommodate you for that weekend. I reached out to (town accounting) and it looks like in the past we just charged a daily fee for the booking. When would you need into the facility to begin set up and take down as this would affect what

we need for staff on site to help out with the north end boards and having the facility open for you.” During this time, our group also requested to attend the Viking Town council meeting to provide information regarding our event plans and answer any questions there may be. This request was declined by the former CAO as he stated they had enough information and use of the facility would not be an issue. We are aware that the information provided in our letter was presented to town council by the then CAO as noted in the town council report in the local paper, as he used direct quotes from the letter of inquiry we had composed.

Over the course of the next month, many communications were held via phone and text with the facility manager to discuss set up needs, and dates. It was agreed that set up would occur Thursday April 28 with removal and clean up completed May 6 at the latest. We need to note that this activity requires the participation of school kids and volunteer adults who are working during business hours and those individuals are located throughout the County of Beaver. The dates chosen were to accommodate schedules for these volunteers. The facility manager was understanding of this, and we did as organizers state that if clean up needed to occur prior to May 6 we would do our best to accommodate that. We also received confirmation of the cost of $300 per day for both April 30 and May 2 from the Facility Manager.

On April 26, two days before our scheduled set up, we received information from community members that the now acting CAO Sherry Garbe had contacted individuals, not currently associated with our group, to question them about the set up requirements for the event (although these had been very specifically described in our letter), as well as the previous costs associated with similar events. We, as the organizers of this event were never contacted with these questions or any concerns. Our move in occurred April 28 and it was only on this date that the contract for use for the April 30 date was presented. The contract specifically states a cost of $300 for the April 30 show day events which notes “the damage deposit is $315 and will be returned after a full inspection of the facility has been completed and signed off by town staff.” The rental agreement also specifies that it covers the areas of the grandstands, arena floor and lobby area of the complex.

We, as a group felt that our event was quite successful and were very pleased with both the facility and the facility manager and staff who were available and accommodating throughout the set up to clean up

process. We were thankful to have also had the concession open to accommodate the participants, visitors, and sale buyers for food, and it was apparent that the concession in turn was kept quite busy. Interesting to note, we did not see, nor hear from the CAO throughout this event.

The second date for the associated show was Monday, May 2 which was completed later in the evening, with the remaining participants and cattle leaving the facility at approximately 10 pm. following some initial clean up. This time frame had been predicted and communicated to facility staff based on previous years. We were stunned to receive a call from facility staff shortly after 9 a.m. May 3 stating that the facility clean up must be done “as soon as it can because the office says it stinks.” We arranged clean up to occur Tuesday evening with the final clean up occurring Wednesday evening. In the process of this clean up, we offered to also clean the seating and upper flooring levels of the facility, and to wash the ice surface. We were informed that the boards to the rink were to be removed and a total facility cleaning was scheduled as per annual practice after removal of the ice surface.

To now hear the comments made by the CAO, it brings many issues to light.

Firstly, who is actually running the facility? It was the CAO who directed us to make arrangements through the facility manager. She played no role in the organization of this event, had no contact with us at any point other than to direct us elsewhere and yet it was she making calls to unconnected parties about costs and set up. It is now also the CAO who is presenting a “factual report” of the event to be recorded as part of a public record despite she had no dealings with the event and has simply stated her opinion of the event. If the CAO can override the facility manager, do we as taxpayers really need to fund both positions? We have spoken with town and facility staff, and members of council who have all stated that the CAO had to be informed of much of this information following the council meeting. Is it not the role and responsibility of the CAO as an advisor to council to have and present factual information to council?

Secondly, there are other details the CAO has failed to consider in her analysis of the event. For example, we know from historical use of other ice-based facilities, that removal of the ice surface leaves a rink surface covering of dry paint used to make the ice white. This dust is very easily spread throughout the air in the floor cleaning process. Could this not have contributed to

the reported dust on every surface. Yes, there was straw and wood shavings used for bedding, but it was all wetted down on its placement within the facility as a measure to reduce any dust the materials may emit. Oh, and did we fail to mention anywhere, in all of our communications, that cattle would be involved? Yes, cattle do leave organic matter, but this is also cleaned as it occurs and removed from the building via wheelbarrow to the best of a cattle shower’s ability. Blaming the cost of the annual clean up on the user group is unjust.

When the facility was built, agriculture grants were received as it was promoted as a multi-use facility that could be used by all types of user groups for all types of events.

Yet, suspiciously there has not been a single agriculture event there in seven years, the same time frame that the town administration has housed its offices within the facility.

As a community, we are continually hearing about the financial struggle to maintain and continue to operate the facility. Those ag grants and events could come in handy.

While we as “county” residents pay taxes towards this facility, we also now have the very distinct impression that we are not welcome to have equal access to its use.

Again, we are not speaking as representatives of this group, but as individuals who organized this event. As we are also organizers of other similar events, we regret that in future, our recommendation will be to take our event to a facility that is more welcoming of the rural way of life.

Most important of all points of issue regarding the CAO’s statements is this. Viking is located in the heart of agriculture country.

Our event and groups are intended to promote agriculture to youth, both rural and urban. It is an opportunity to learn skills and knowledge to foster and promote youth continuing the tradition and industry of beef and other agricultural production.

Small towns need these young people to remain local, to support local, to keep their families, businesses, incomes, and taxes local. Now our CAO has presented this group as villains. A group of hard working, community minded, school aged kids and volunteers. What will the town CAO and administrators do to convince this young population that they are welcome and valued within the town limits. We should think, at minimum, it starts with a written, public apology for those comments and the formal retraction of these statements from public record.

So, yes, CAO Garbe, something does stink at the Viking Carena Facility, but it’s not the cattle!

Word on the Street: Kinsella field fire reported On May 30, police received a complaint of an abandoned semi trailer west of Viking on Highway 14. The complainant advised the trailer had no safety cones or reflectors and was partially blocking the eastbound lane. Police attended the scene and determined the trailer was a traffic hazard so had it towed.

Viking and Holden Food Bank helps countless people over 20 year history Darren Anderson The Viking and Holden Area Food Bank was founded by a partnership of the churches of Viking in 2002. The years immediately prior to 2002 were very dry and the winter of 2001-2002 provided little snow.

Several discussions were held as to how the churches could respond.

In March of 2002 an interchurch prayer meeting for moisture was held at the Alliance Church. At the end of that week a wet snow stalled over top of Viking providing some much needed relief.

However, despite that dramatic answer to prayer, it was clear that 2002 would be a difficult year. Food banks were an idea that many communities were

experimenting with, and the decision was made that a food bank might be part of the solution to get us through some lean times.

Viking/Beaver FCSS began providing advice and pointing the way towards getting some initial seed money to start the project. The food bank was founded in the spring of 2002.

The food bank was for many years located in a back furnace room of the Viking United Church. Things were done very informally. Anyone needing help simply contacted a local church and once a week hampers were made and distributed. Each church was responsible for putting hampers together one week a month.

For the first several years of the food bank, fewer hampers

were given out than today, averaging about a hamper per week. Several organizations were helpful in donating a freezer, a fridge, shelving, and food. For a number of years students at Viking School could wear a hat on early dismissal days (something not permitted at the time) if they brought a donation for the food bank.

Several local companies were generous with financial support. Our initial rules allowed for a family, which was our largest source of non perishable food. A family could apply for a hamper every six months and receive enough food for the family for about 3 weeks. Over time the size of the hampers shrunk a little to help prevent waste, but frequency of usage was increased, first to every

three months, and then to monthly.

Over time, as things got busier, the food bank became more formal and increased the number of volunteers. Despite being founded to combat a drought, the needs seemed to grow each year. Over time, more in the community began to be involved with the food bank. For a number of years, a new location for the food bank was sought. After several proposals did not work out, the potential for a shared building with FCSS and Beaver Emergency Services presented itself. FCSS had already taken over the role of taking requests for hampers and assessing client’s needs, so it was a natural partnership. Volunteers continued putting hampers togeth-

er, distributing them and stocking the shelves of the food bank.

In the past 20 years, the food bank has not only helped countless individuals through difficult moments and has become a rallying point for the community.

Many have stepped up to volunteer in collecting food, filling hampers or helping administer the food bank. It has become a critical part of addressing poverty that is so often hidden in a small town.

- Darren Anderson pastored Viking Alliance Church from 2000 to 2020 and was Treasurer of the Food Bank from 2002-2020. He is presently pastoring Lamont Alliance Church and is very active with the County of Lamont Food Bank.

attended and extinguished the fire and will be billing the property owner.

During the early morning hours on June 4, police received a complaint of a two-vehicle collision in Viking.

The complainant advised a vehicle had struck a parked truck and the driver was slumped over the steering wheel and unresponsive. Police arrived on scene. The driver provided samples of his breath that resulted in a “fail” on the roadside screening device.

He was issued an Immediate Roadside Sanction, which suspends his privilege to operate a motor vehicle in the Province of Alberta im-

mediately, and the vehicle was seized for 30 days. The investigation into this matter is ongoing.

That afternoon, police received a report of a field on fire in the Kinsella area. It was learned that a vehicle driving past had blown a tire and pieces of the tire entered the field causing the fire. The fire was extinguished by the Kinsella Fire Department.

During the early morning hours on June 5, police were advised of a male with a gunshot wound who was dropped off at the Viking Health Centre. Police attended and spoke with the male, who was not cooperative with police.

The male was airlifted by STARS with serious but non-life threatening injuries. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.

County Council hears from resident who wants taxes cut to compensate for living near landfill Patricia Harcourt A Beaver County resident went before council June 1 to explain why he thinks those who live closest to the local landfill are being impacted the most but are the least compensated.

Kevin McCoy said more of Claystone Waste Ltd.’s dividends and Good Neighbour Grant should be going towards county residents who live around the landfill.

He said property values have dropped significantly for these people, and selling their properties due to proximity is difficult if not impossible. Since they can’t move the only way to compensate them, he said, was for the county to cut their property taxes as compensation for having to suffer the effects of living near the landfill.

McCoy questioned why arena facilities in Tofield and Viking are getting recreational support, while those putting up with the smells, noise and dirt of living around the landfill only get a free garbage bin to compensate them.

“My question is: ‘Where is the money going that the county gets from Claystone?” he asked. “Why is the money going to Viking and Tofield?” He also wanted to know how much money the county has given to the two towns in the last 10 years compared to what has been given to the people who live around Claystone.

“We want something out of it,” McCoy said, stating people living further away are getting funds instead. “We are (the ones) putting up with it…We have to deal with the noise and traffic.” He also said the highway gets dirty and wet from the trucks going in and out of the landfill.

Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) told McCoy that, “the reason everyone gets (the funding) is because it (the landfill) is owned by all of Beaver County.” He explained that the landfill was started with funds from all the municipalities within and including the county.”

“The money came from all of Beaver County at the start,” he said, so all the participating municipalities receive dividends from the landfill.

Plus, the county partners with other towns and villages and helps pay for facility use because county residents also use those facilities, he said.

There is $75,000 made available through the Community Support Grants (on the dividend side) for funding supports of different matters throughout the county. The county also used funds through the Good Neighbour Grant to get free garbage bins for those living around Claystone, he said.

But McCoy’s request for the county to consider lowering the property taxes for those living near the landfill by way of compensation was not considered. Smook cited the Municipal Government Act (MGA) as the reason this couldn’t be done.

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) felt that no matter where a resident lives they must deal with negative effects. Williams cited his own home near a railroad track as an example.

“Everybody has something,” he said, but “CN pays significant taxes to the county.”

McCoy said this wasn’t the same as many of those living near the landfill were there long before the landfill came into existence. The landowners were there “prior to the landfill being in place.”

At that time, “Agreements were

made then to have all local employees and truckers,” which McCoy implied did not happen.

And now the landowners can’t get anyone to buy their property. McCoy claimed prospective buyers back out as soon as a realtor gets them to the site and they see the landfill mountain.

The traffic in and around the landfill is also increasing, said McCoy, “and people (living) in other places don’t have to put up with it.” McCoy also said mud on the roads is also increasing as a result.

“After the rain you can’t drive down the roads with a clean vehicle,” he said. “I’d like you guys to live where we’re living. It doesn’t affect you, or the people living in Tofield.”

“We’ve got to put up with these things and we’re not getting anything,” he said.

Smook told him that the intent of the free bin policy “is to offset poor effects of the neighbours living around the landfill.”

But McCoy replied that he “doesn’t think bins are enough,” calling for lowered taxes. He asked that the county check with other municipalities because he believes that it is being done.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) noted that the county has given money to local organizations in the centre of the county such as the Ryley and Holden agricultural societies.

Hrabec praised the county’s bin policy, and suggested that it could be expanded to include more residents in the area around the landfill. At the moment the policy allows for free bins for those living within a radius of a mile of the landfill.

“We’re bound by the MGA to look at the big picture,” Hrabec said, "and

can’t pit one group against another."

Hrabec said he believes the county “has a great working relationship” with other groups adding it’s important to be pro-active and work with people in our communities.”

He didn’t believe that “looking at who gets more and who gets less is a fair way to do it,” in terms of distributing funding.

But McCoy repeated the complaint that arenas in Tofield and Viking are getting money from the county unfairly.

“Why are you guys always giving Viking and Tofield money? They get their chunks of money from Claystone…The county’s money should be used for the county.”

Hrabec replied: “We have to pay our share…County residents use the facilities,” for hockey, 4-H and other clubs and organizations whose residents are from the county.

He added that, “sometimes it doesn’t look like it’s fair,” when it actually is fair.

Smook suggested that people listening to the conversation should think of ideas for how funds from the Good Neighbour Grant could be used to help compensate them for living adjacent to the landfill.

Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) was more conciliatory.

“You’re not the only one who thinks the centre of the county isn’t getting its fair share,” he said, to McCoy. Noting that “the large centres get more,” Bruce said he feels like this is “sucking the centre right out of the county.”

Although suggestions are needed to change this, he said, “We’re stuck with the system we have…

Personally, I don’t have a solution…I feel for you, I really do.”

“What else can you give us but cutting taxes?” McCoy replied.

Beaver County Chronicle, June 8, 2022 - 3

County waives purchasing policy to expedite sewer repairs at Black Nugget Lake Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council agreed to waive its purchasing policy in a bid to get sewer issues at Black Nugget Lake campground fixed as quickly as possible to salvage the rest of the camping season.

The campground has been closed since May 24 and will remain so until repairs have been completed. The closure occurred after the May long weekend when campers were still allowed but couldn’t use the toilet and shower facilities, but extra porta-potties had been put in place on site.

With the campground now closed, however, work has begun to repair the ongoing sewer issue at the campground.

“The county appreciates everyone’s patience as we go through this process to make improvements to the site,” stated the county on its media

site.

At the June 1 regular meeting of council, a discussion took place concerning the repairs at Black Nugget Lake campground. Assistant CAO Margaret Jones later explained the situation: “According to our purchasing policy, the county should be tendering for some work that needs to be done to upgrade the sewer system,” she said.

“However, in order to salvage the campground season, administration addressed the issue right away.

“Now it appears that other work needs to be done.

“But again, due to the need to get the work done quickly, we asked council to waive the requirement for tendering as well as authorize a change in the scope of the work for the contract that involves upgrades to the septic system infrastructure at the campground.”

County sticks with community hall funding Patricia Harcourt Beaver County will stay with the funding currently provided for community halls to help out with insurance payments.

A review found that $1,000 annually under the Community Hall Funding Policy provides half of the amount most hall organizations must pay for their insurance coverage.

“Administration believes that this level of funding is adequate and suggests that any further assistance be limited to providing the community hall associations with a referral to either the Rural Municipalities of Alberta or Alberta Municipalities for coverage under their Community Group Policies,” stated Margaret Jones, manager of legislated services for the county.

If a hall association went under the umbrella of the RMA or AM using a Community Group Policy, Jones stated that “organizations are covered under their own name and are not linked to the county’s insurance policy.”

At the county council June 1 meeting, council agreed to amend the Community Hall Funding

Administrative Procedure to make this suggestion possible for halls if they wish to do so.

Plus, Jones suggested extending the county’s own March 1 deadline for grant applications to June 1, “as some organizations are finding it difficult to meet the early deadline.”

A review of the 2022 insurance coverage for community hall associations found that premiums varied greatly, from $196 to over $6,000.

“Of the seven organizations that are eligible for the grant, premiums for six of them are below $2,100 and the other is $6,000,” Jones said.

For the six community associations, “if the county pays half of that I think it’s enough,” she said.

Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) had earlier expressed concern about the costs for Spilstead Hall.

“I wonder why one hall premium is so high,” he said. Jones suggested it had something to do with the hall’s replacement value.

The review came out of a discussion in April concerning financial challenges faced by community hall associations. A motion by Hrabec to go with administration’s recommendation was passed.

Request for Proposal

Construction Update

Request for Proposal for Preparation of Emergency Management Plans and Emergency Response Training & Exercise

Range Road 182 Construction Update

The Beaver County Region (the Region) consists of the Towns of Tofield and Viking, the Villages of Ryley and Holden, and the surrounding rural municipality of Beaver County (including the Hamlets of Bruce and Kinsella).

Fire protection services in the Region are provided by a regional services commission (Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC)).

The Commission oversees the operation of the fire departments and each municipality has also delegated emergency management services to the Commission.

The Beaver County Region has prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) to invite proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a regional emergency management plan and conduct an emergency response exercise at the conclusion of the Project.

To view the complete RFP package please https://www.beaver.ab.ca/residents/proposals-quotes

go

The closing date for the RFP is 4:30 pm MST, June 17, 2022.

Questions regarding the proposal can be directed to Rick Ells, Community Peace Officer, by calling 825-385-0066 or rells@beaver.ab.ca .

Over the next few weeks, Range Road 182 from Township Road 500 to Highway 14, will be upgraded from an oiled 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 construction phase, portions of the road may be closed to allow crews to work safely please use another route, detours will be posted 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.

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. 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.

Viking Council makes decisions and appointments during May meeting Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking Council agreed to appoint seven persons to the Town of Viking Library Board at council’s May 16 meeting.

The appointees are Jeanne Congdon, Sandra Andrukow, Gary Hafso (Town of Viking), Dale Pederson (Beaver County), Beverly Baumgartner, Phyllis Lefsrud, and Rose Morrison.

Council looked at the revenue and expense report for April.

Councillor Cindy Lefsrud requested that information concerning the revenues generated from the solar panels installed by the town be included specifically in the next report.

During the accounts payable report, Lefsrud referred to the legal payment for services regarding the S.H. 619 contamination cleanup reimbursement issue. At an earlier meeting,

Lefsrud had stated her opposition to paying legal fees without any results.

The town is in the process of trying to get compensation for the $1M or more spent to clean up hydrocarbons found under the highway while installing water and sewer piping in the fall of 2017.

Although not included in the agenda package, the CAO reported that the concession at the Carena for April/May was a $359.72 profit.

The concession manager is being asked to attend a meeting of council in future to discuss the operations of the food booth and its profit and loss margins.

Lefsrud requested that the CAO bring to council a request for proposal (RFP) regarding a change in the way the recreation tax is given out for recreational purposes.

Lefsrud referred to “confusion over the recreation tax,” stating she “wants to bring back the

He that covereth hiss sins shall not prosper: but whoso confessetth and forsaketh them shall have mercy y..

policy when all user groups applied once a year,” for the funding.

She said that she wanted the policy “clearly worded,” so that people know when to apply.

Another point was to have “everybody eligible,” not just organizations with property ties.

The policy should clearly state “where the money goes and who has the authority to take the money.”

Although no motion was passed, Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk signed a declaration regarding June 713 as Seniors Appreciation Week.

Council passed three resolutions submitted by Claystone Waste Ltd. regarding acceptance of the company’s proposed

RFD which includes changes to various aspects of the operations and rules.

Council agreed to sign the “Next Generation 9-11 Local Government Service Agreement” with Telus to provide its residents with NG9-1-1 emergency service through calls, sessions and events sent to the three-digit emergency number 9-1-1.

Council tabled renewing the Fortis Franchise Agreement until Dec. 21 in order to review the current eight per cent surcharge.

Council renewed lease agreements for the Viking Gymkhana Club (oneyear for $1); Mission to Many and G&R Russnak Farms Ltd. Council went into

FCSS hosts Volunteer Appreciation events in Viking and Holden Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking/Beaver Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) held Volunteer Appreciation luncheons in Viking and Holden to honour the people who make a difference in their communities.

The events took place Friday, May 27, in Viking and Saturday, May 28, in Holden.

Viking/Beaver FCSS Director Dawn Chrystian expressed gratitude to all the people who made these events possible.

“And thank you to all the incredible volunteers and organizations across our service area,” she added. “Your time, dedication and commitment makes all the difference in our rural communities.

“We also appreciate all those who attended the luncheons in Viking and Holden and celebrated alongside us,” she said.

She credited the work of Beaver County, and the towns of Viking and Holden, “for prioritizing the recognition of volunteers.”

The events were also made possible through the support of Beaver County Victim Services, Beaver County CALP, Volunteer Alberta and the Government of Alberta.

“We are so fortunate to have you as partners in our communities,” said Chrystian, referring to VS and Calp.

The events were held at the Viking Seniors Centre and the Holden Community Hall. The Holden Economic Development Committee partnered with FCSS for the event in that community, and provided greenbucks.

In Holden, a special time was set aside to remember the late Elaine Cooper who was a dedicated volunteer in the Holden community before her passing last year.

“Thank you to the family of our beloved Elaine Cooper who allowed us to honour her memory at the Holden event, and to Gail and Dennis for sharing their remembrances of her,” said Chrystian. “We feel very privileged to have spent time with Elaine. Her passion for the community, as well as her support of volunteers was infectious, and we hope we can continue to make her proud of the work we do.”

MLA Jackie Lovely, Beaver County Councillor Dale Pederson and Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec, Viking Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk and Holden Councillor John Markel were speakers at these events.

Young musicians Sydney and Sheridan performed as well to make the event “extra special,” she said.

Paulette Erickson received one of two first annual Elaine Cooper Memorial Volunteer of the Year awards for her community service during the Holden Appreciation Luncheon at the Holden Community Hall.

Partners in hosting the Volunteer Appreciation event in Viking were Jaylynn Umphrey (seated) with Beaver County Victim Services, Susan Lungal with Beaver County, Lavonne Svenson with Beaver County Community Adult Learning and Ara Victoor with Beaver County Victim Services (also seated). The event was held at the Viking Seniors Centre recently.

Dave Maruszeczka was presented with one of two first annual Elaine Cooper Memorial Volunteer of the Year Awards in recognition of his many years of service to the community, especially to the Holden Museum.

Viking Mayor Laura Yakiwchuk speaks about the value of volunteerism and the people who make such valuable contributions to the local community.
