Andrew Erickson of Ampcore Electric Ltd. and Viking Seniors Centre Past-President Pres Winter are shown changing light bulbs at the Senior Centre last Friday. The bulbs that were removed were 32 watts. The new ones are LED bulbs which use 16 watts. In total 99 bulbs were changed. PHOTOS COURTESY GARRY WOLOSINKA
The Viking Senior Citizen’s Club has a more brightly lit interior these days making all the centre’s activities even more fun for the many seniors who use it on a regular basis. The old lights were recently replaced with 100 more incandescent ones so seniors have a better view while enjoying floor curling, whist and the many other activities that take place there. The club operates year-round “to encourage the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of the senior citizens of our community,” said Pres Winter, who served
as the club’s president for six years. Last year, that position was taken over by Garry Wolosinka and both men have been involved in getting new lights and having them installed. While president, Winter made application to Claystone Waste Ltd. on behalf of the seniors’ centre for funding to replace the former LED light bulbs with new, much brighter bulbs. The idea was that, because the new bulbs would be so. bright, fewer of them would be needed thereby reducing the electric bill. “The number of bulbs would be reduced by approximately one-
other opportunities. We as a Council thank him for his service to the town. “The Town of Viking has appointed Sherry Garbe as the acting CAO in the interim.” McLeod has been on an extended leave of absence since late January. The leave was expected to expire as of April 1 but has now turned into a permanent departure for the CAO. Continued on P2
third,” said Winter. “This will reduce our electric bill by about one-third of the present cost.” Claystone responded with a grant of $1,000 for the centre in their quest to upgrade the lighting system. The centre will be acknowledging this donation by placing a plaque on the wall indicating their gratitude for the donation. Before incorporating, Claystone was known as Beaver Municipal Solutions, with the tradition of providing grants for non-profit organizations continuing from there. Claystone/BMS also helped out in 2018, Continued on P5

Minister’s Special Licences go for big bucks at auction Leslie Cholowsky Three new Minister’s Special Licences made available for 2022, gave hunters a unique opportunity to hunt pronghorn antelope, moose, and Merriam’s turkeys during hunting season. The licences were sold at the Wild Sheep Foundation’s Banquet in Minnetonka, Minnesota, March 25 and 26, but bidding was
also done online. Bidders could be Alberta residents or non-residents. Non-residents must use the services of a licenced Alberta outfitter and be guided by a designated guide if successful in winning a licence. Together, the three licences sold for $25,300; $3,200 for the turkey, $6,100 for the pronghorn antelope, and $16,000 for the moose. The Alberta Conserva-
tion Association, which is presently celebrating its 25th year, reports that Minister’s Special Licence auctions and raffles have raised almost $9 million for conservation efforts in Alberta since 1995. Projects funded by these types of licence sales include those that benefit sheep, elk, and mule deer, as well as education programs and habitat enhancements.
