Tofield Legion turns 91 MOUSH JOHN Editor

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 91 turned 91 last month amidst strict COVID-19 restrictions.

“COVID-19 restrictions continue to wreak havoc on Tofield Legion’s attempt to celebrate a milestone,” said President Barb Ferguson. “Provincial health guidelines torpedoed our 90th anniversary celebrations last year and threaten our plans for this spring.”

“The mandate of the Royal Canadian Legion is to serve veterans and their dependents, promote Remembrance, and to serve the community.

The yearly Remembrance Day service is planned by the Branch, and members lead the parade with the RCMP every July 1st. We maintain two monuments; the Main Street Cenotaph and the field of Honour at Tofield Cemetery. We also have the Legion Memorial Garden

beside the Golden Club.”

Speaking to the history of the Tofield branch, Ferguson said that Branch 91 was granted their Charter on April 22, 1930. There were originally 15 Charter members, with an additional 30 signing up during the organizational meeting. The branch was active until the imminent threat of WWII. “Winding down activity but keeping the Charter, the members used their savings to commission the Cenotaph on Main Street, which was dedicated on Nov. 12, 1939 by Major General W.A. Griesbach,” Ferguson explained. “The return of the soldiers sparked renewed interest in membership and Legion activities. In 1955, a fire engulfed the Memorial Hall, destroying the Legion Room; all artifacts and memorabilia were lost!”

Accoridng to Ferguson, the Legion purchased the original Bank of Montreal building, located where

the Town Office is today, which was their home until they built at their current location in 1975.

“We encourage participation in the Remembrance Poster and Literary contest for students and have had some remarkable success,” Ferguson stated.

“The Poppy Campaign encompasses a large territory that includes parts of Beaver and Strathcona County; funds that are collected remain in a local account to be spent according to needs of veterans in both communities.”

Throughout their history, Tofield Legion has been an active and vital part of the community, purchasing beds at the hospital, replacing a shower at the Lodge, and donating raised garden beds for the residents of Sunshine Villa, the branch continues to make donations.

Ryley Legion celebrates 75 years of service Moush John Tofield Mercury

Ryley Legion, a mainstay of 50th Street celebrates 75 years of service.

“The Ryley Legion received its charter in April of 1946, and on June 16, the District Commander,

a Mr. Abbott from the Lougheed Branch, was in attendance to conduct the official formation of the Ryley Branch. Along with the 15 charter members, approximately 30 to 35 applicants were recognized, approved, and duly initiated,” said An-

Maureen & Randy Tooke will be celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary on May 23rd!

Their three children (and their significant others) as well as their seven grandchildren wish them a very happy anniversary!

With love from your family!

nette Short, former president, current membership chair, and an associate member. “Many of the early records of the branch have been lost through two fires at the Legion, so the above numbers were arrived at by assuming that the 50 membership “buttons” that were ordered were needed for all of the approved men; much of the above information was taken from the handwritten minutes in the surviving original minute book of 1946 – 1963.”

According to her, meetings were held in the Curling Rink, the Oddfellows Hall, the Community Hall meeting room, and frequently in Browns General Store, until a Memorial Hall committee was able to secure and purchase the Altadena Hall.

“Beaver County moved the building free of charge, and set it on the footings, which had been prepared in the original Memorial Park location on Main Street and 52 Avenue in Ryley,” Short explained. “A lease of the site, in perpetuity, was agreed upon with the Village Council of the day, at a cost of one dollar each year.

“While many of the records are difficult to read, one gets a sense of the variety of community functions and programs that were organized and run by the Ryley Legion membership for decades.

There are detailed job assignments listed for the annual Ryley Sports Days – parades, baseball tournaments, children’s races and games, dances and evening socials, and so on.”

Ryley Legion in the 1960s.

Ryley Legion now.

Short further stated that the Legion was the principal organization in recruiting the many other organizations in Ryley to help raise funds for vic-

tims of a fire that destroyed many of the businesses on Main Street in 1951.

Ryley Legion Continued from Page 2 “The Legion membership has fluctuated from upwards of 80 members in the 1980s to a low of about 30 in the early 2000s,” she added. “Current membership is on the rise again, with close to fifty members. Recently

there has been a greater interest shown by young people – some who are great grandchildren of the original members – in becoming members willing to participate in our various programs.”

Many of the events and functions, including rentals, have of course

been eliminated, Short said, over the last 14 months or so, but the membership and the vitality of the branch has not diminished.

“We will find a way to safely celebrate our 75 years landmark. A standing invitation to visit the Branch when we are able

to be open is extended to every person in the area.

There is a great quantity of historical material in our building to be viewed, and there will be many people with stories to tell, or perhaps a deck of cards to share a Crib game with. We will carry on our proud legacy.”

Tofield Legion Continued from Front Page tions to Health Centre, Golden Club, Lions Club, Cadets, Scouts, Guides and Junior Forest Wardens; and have supported many school programs, including drama, sports, and outdoor education,” Ferguson noted. “We’ve presented the John Sharrow Award at CW Sears, and Perseverance and Jack Lampitt awards at

Tofield School, besides providing the venue for the annual Breakfast With Santa event, and Santa’s Workshop for Busy B! “Unfortunately, we are currently mandated to be closed. Under normal circumstances, we would have had a Burns Night in January; St. Patrick's event in March; Decoration Day and Veteran’s Appreciation in May; and a meal after the parade

on Canada Day. We had just started up a fun darts evening, which we currently cannot have, and will be looking at having a different format Golf Tournament for our usual time in August.”

The branch is still on call to serve veterans in need, and will respond to any messages left at the branch and continue to look at ways they can help out the com-

munity.

“We are still presenting the latest Quilts of Valour to local veterans, and we have recently added a Facebook group for the Branch. Members who need to renew their memberships, please get in touch, and if anyone wishes to join the branch, we would love to have you. You do not need to be a veteran to be a member.

The Tofield Mercury will be closed on Monday, May 24, 2021 Ad deadline is Friday, May 21 @ 5 PM The paper will be available on Wednesday, May 26.

Council Corner Town of Tofield fighting to get vaccines to rural Alberta Recently, Mayor and Council sent a letter to the Minister of Health, MLA Lovely, and MP Kurek, on vaccine provision, specific to rural Alberta. These letters discussed and outlined the frustration being felt by many in rural Alberta, not just Tofield.

Vaccines have been provided in large quantities to our Urban settings with little consideration given to those in outlying areas and how they will access these vaccine sites. One such way (and an easy, attainable solution) is to ensure our pharmacies have access to vaccine.

Our local Tofield pharmacies have been able to provide three separate vaccines, however supply is limited. In Tofield’s case, the demand far exceeds the supply. This is concerning, as we have many who are wanting vaccine, however, cannot travel for a multitude

of reasons to access this service.

The response that these sites are within an hour and easily accessible is in fact not true for some people and these concerns are not being heard by the Province.

Tofield is fortunate, the pharmacy owner-operators have advocated on the community’s behalf to access these vaccines and have them available when they receive a supply. These discussions have involved multi-teered conversations ranging from Provincial Boards to the Provincial Government. Not only are our pharmacies able to handle additional load, but they also welcome it. Without question, we are exceptionally for-

tunate to have people like this in our community to fight for the greater good, and to fight for those that may feel they do not have a voice.

Our continued battle with COVID is now showing a glimmer of light with the vaccine rollout, however, for us to cross the finish line both the Provincial and Federal bodies need to understand and recognize that equal distribution of vaccine provides an equal playing field. At times it has felt as though rural Alberta has been forgotten about.

As we continue to move forward, I encourage you to reach out to MLA Lovely, and the Alberta

Honour the past...

Build the Future

Government to advocate for rural vaccine distribution. The end is in sight, however, to get to this vaccine more quickly and efficiently, it must be accessible for those of us in rural Alberta.

On behalf of Council, I wish to thank all our business owners and operators for their continued service. This has not been easy for any of you. You have adapted, shifted, and changed your course of service and supply. Thank you to these business owners that have fought for Tofield and the betterment of our community.

Respectfully, Mayor and Council

RCMP attended and a number of various fines were issued. Tofield RCMP would like to warn and educate drivers to pay attention and to slow down in

marked construction zones. Speeds are significantly reduced in these posted areas due to large equipment and workers being present.

On May 13, Tofield RCMP responded to a residential break and enter in Ryley. RCMP attended, located and identified the person(s) involved and confirmed that there was no break and enter, that the person(s) were known to the occupants of the residence and no criminal offence occurred.

Loose Ends: Silver Bling

Carol Livingstone Tofield Mercury Columnist

One finger on Hubby’s right hand is sporting some silver bling, if you can call Duct tape bling.

One day he came in com-

plaining about his router having an encounter with something it didn’t like in a piece of wood, then winging off and taking a chunk out of one of his fingers. He cleaned and spread antibiotic ointment over it, then wrapped it in gauze and Band Aids before I could see the damage. I felt I had to remind him that he has only one complete hand after shortening two fingers on his left one several years ago with a

saw blade but despite a lot of blood and ‘some’ pain he assured me that this time no bones were involved.

A bandaged finger wasn’t making work on his new project, two raised flower beds made of small landscape logs that will move the lilies and something we’ve forgotten the name of from an area that we can’t see from the house to one we can (and where crabgrass can’t

overtake it) easy. Constant hand washing meant having to re-cover it – band aids claiming to be waterproof are big fat liars - and then sweat and dirt were stripping the bandages off and the inside of his gloves irritated the injury. So he wrapped the whole thing with Duct tape and hasn’t shed a tear since – so he says.

A while back there was a TV show where a couple of wacky guys cre-

ated weird things, many out of Duct tape, among them a boat that actually floated but not well enough that you’d try using it for whitewater rafting or even a day fishing on a calm lake. They stayed afloat on a pond and called it a success.

But a bridge that they didn’t cross because there was too much ‘give’ to it was considered a fail. The guys were nuts but weren’t into busting things like legs or heads.

Especially theirs.

Closer to home, I have vivid memories of Hubby taping up a tear in the canvas of our tent trailer that had been allowing rain to drip in on my head. A soggy pillow made for an unhappy wife and you know what that leads to – an unhappy Hubby. And it has also lengthened the life of several laundry baskets so in my mind, Duct tape rules; don’t leave home without it.

Tofield RCMP Report Continued from Page 4

On May 14, Tofield RCMP responded to a stolen vehicle from Ryley which is now attempted to be sold on Facebook. The complaint reported that a motorbike that was stolen last year was now being sold online on Facebook in Edmonton. RCMP forwarded information to Edmonton City Police to investigate and followup.

On May 15, Tofield RCMP responded to a domestic disturbance in Beaver County. RCMP attended and spoke to both parties and found that there was an argument concerning ownership of a number of firearms in the residence.

As a result, RCMP seized all the firearms pending proof of legal

ownership to be provided.

On May 15, Tofield RCMP responded to a disturbance at a business in Tofield. RCMP attended and spoke to the complainant who advised that an employee was recently fired and has come back to work, causing a disturbance.

RCMP mediated the situation and provided direction to both the employer and past employee in moving forward.

On May 15, Tofield RCMP responded to two fire complaints in Ryley.

RCMP spoke to the complainant who advised that an unattended fire was burning in a yard and was concerned that there was a fire ban and that this fire is concerning. RCMP attended and spoke to the owners of

the property and confirmed that the fires were put out.

On May 16, Tofield RCMP responded to an uttering threats complaint in Beaver County.

RCMP attended and spoke to the complainant who advised that a neighbour had threatened them with a possible firearm regarding usage of a common area between both their properties. RCMP attended and spoke to both parties and mediated the situation and provided direction and options on resolving this issue.

On May 16, Tofield RCMP responded to a stuck vehicle on the CN railway tracks in Tofield.

RCMP attended and were able to stop further CN trains while the truck was safely towed off the tracks.

C-10, Social Media, and Censorship MP Damien Kurek Battle River-Crowfoot

Many Canadians would not normally take interest in a federal bill that would amend aspects of the Broadcasting Act to better reflect the fastchanging nature of the internet and social media and the impact they have had on our society.

However, I have heard from many constituents expressing concerns about Bill C-10 in recent weeks.

Conservatives raised concerns last year with this Bill when it was first introduced as its empowered the CRTC to take greater control over Canadian Content on the internet. The concerns we raised were about censorship to free expression, burdensome regulations that could suppress certain content, and concerns about the centralization of power in Ottawa.

The Bill, at the time,

did have some clear exemptions that the Government pointed to and said our concerns were “unfounded.”

Fast forward to a number of weeks ago, to when Bill C-10 was studied by Committee. The Liberal members voted to remove the exemptions, paving the way for government to censor free expression for anyone who might post something on the internet.

The Minister responsible for this Bill is Minister of Heritage, Steven Guilbeault has a history of making statements about censorship, then retracting those statements.

That has been the case with C-10 when the Minister has appeared on television.

He says one thing, then his office or the Prime Minister is forced to clarify what he actually meant. It would be one thing if

this was a one-time occurrence, but this Minister has continued to add confusion on this matter, refuses to answer questions, and seems to only defend his Bill by quoting groups that are funded by, or connected to, the Liberal Government. This, while many experts, and even a former CRTC commissioner, say the Bill is an assault on free speech.

The interconnectivity fostered by social media has provided many with the ability to stay in touch with friends and loved

ones, or even just to be entertained by the many talented internet-entrepreneurs who produce online content. This has been especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media has enabled Canadians to exercise their freedom of expression and view information from a vast array of sources free from censorship or government interference. However, content on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook is in serious

jeopardy of being censored, restricted, or altered by the Government because of Bill C-10.

Conservatives have called on the Government to withdraw C10, as it has become clear that this piece of legislation will infringe on the rights of Canadians. Our ability to communicate is critical to maintaining a fair and just society. We will continue to stand up for the right for all Canadians to exercise their freedom of expression.

Jason Kenney hints at vaccination-based easing of restrictions Province releases new vaccination-rate regional map of province Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney indicated Monday, May 17 that cabinet would be considering a number of factors when determining when and how current pandemic restrictions would ease, not ruling out the possibility of tying it to vaccination rates, similar to what the Province of Saskatchewan has done.

He added that the third wave hit Alberta much harder than Saskatchewan, and that Alberta would be proceeding with a little bit more caution.

“But we will certainly be tying reopening in a large part to the percentage of people vaccinated.” He added, “We need the vaccine cautious people to realize that the ticket to normal is vaccination.”

The focus of the province’s Monday COVID-19 update appeared to be to reiterate the seriousness and validity of the pandemic, and its affect on Alberta’s health care system and population, urban and rural.

Kenney said that Al-

berta’s COVID-19 case numbers appear to be stabilizing, with transmission slowing down, but added that the province is still very much in the midst of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said, “Some people are saying that case numbers are inflated or exaggerated, but that’s not the case. COVID-19 is a very real situation we are all facing together.”

He addressed recent comparisons to the US versus Alberta, pointing out that it is estimated that one in three Americans contracted COVID19, compared to one in 10

in Alberta, as well as three to ten times more deaths in America attributed to COVID-19.

Kenney also had praise for Alberta’s health care workers, saying, “Behind every number, and the people who are ill or deathly ill, there is a team of dedicated health care workers.”

He challenged Albertans to consider the human effort and toll the pandemic has taken on not just Alberta’s heath care system, but its workers.

Kenney indicated that Alberta is presently 40 per cent above its normal pre-COVID ICU capacity.

He also noted that he’s heard repeatedly from municipal leaders and elsewhere that COVID-19 is an urban issue, not a rural issue.

He noted, however, that the highest percapita rates of infection in the province are found in rural areas. “This isn’t urban vs. rural; it’s everywhere.”

Kenney said, “One tried and true way out of the pandemic is through vaccinations.”

He noted that 48.9 per cent of Albertans over 12 have received at least one dose, to date, adding, “Albertans have stepped up in a big way.”

Vaccination-based easing of restrictions Continued from Page 7 how many ‘stick it to COVID’ by getting the vaccine.”

Kenney invited Dr. Verna Yiu, Alberta Health Services President and CEO, along with Dr.

Deena Hinshaw, Alberta Chief Medical Officer, to offer the science behind the province’s actions regarding COVID-19.

Dr. Yiu started off by thanking physicians and health care workers throughout the

province. “We owe you a huge debt of gratitude,” she said.

She indicated that Alberta’s health care system is under significant stress: “More so than in any other time,” adding that COVID-19 related hospi-

talications were six times higher than any due to influenza.

Hinshaw also commented on rumours around testing. She said Alberta uses PCR tests, saying these tests are very specific, and faster, and can identify infection early in the course of disease.

“PCR testing is highly specific for the Sars COV2 virus responsible for COVID-19.”

She said rumours re-

garding high rates of false positives have been addressed by testing known negative cases, and found, in fact, to be extremely rare. “We conduct continuous quality assurance.”

Hinshaw added to Yiu’s statement about COVID-19 being a serious health threat to people other than elders or those with underlying conditions. She said 40 per cent of hospitalizations from COVID-19

were people under 50 years of age, with 12 per cent of those under 30 years of age since February.

She also noted that COVID-19 can have serious long term, lasting impacts to patient’s health, including COVID longtermers, with ongoing research being done on the lasting impacts of the virus.

“We do not have to fear it, but we must respect COVID-19.”

Dec. 26, 1927 - May 2, 2021 Walter was a powerful warrior in our family, forcefully taking action to nurture, guide and protect those he loved.

Dad passed away peacefully in the early morning of May 2, 2021. Our family, Jim (Brenda), Karen (Nick), Kevan (Debbie), Wayne (Jan) and Terrie (Garry) and all of the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren carry many memories of this man who loved, supported and shaped us.

Dad was born December 26, 1927 and predeceased by his loving wife, Kay, his infant grandson Nathan Scott, his parents, Peter and Katrina and brothers, Ed, Fred and John. He is survived by his sister Alice (Erwin) and brothers Gerry (Eula) and Art (Paula).

Dad and Mom, throughout their life together have lived in and around Edmonton. They started life together in the Tofield area, moved to Calahoo, settled in the area of Westlock (Pibroch) and then moved to south Edmonton. In each community Dad and Mom found communities of faith and actively participated in serving those communities.

Dad was known for his clear sense of what was right, straightforward integrity, unshakeable faith and profound love for his wife and family.

Dad engaged with the communities around him, particularly through ministries related to education and youth.

Dad was always practical and purposeful in his life. He made decisions based upon his faith and love for his family. We will miss his experience laden counsel, his commitment to help his family and faith community and his evident enjoyment of his family.

As a family we are so thankful for the support Dad had at Shepherd’s Care Millwoods. The staff, led by Mercy, went above and beyond to keep Dad safe and sane during this past year. Thank you all.

Because of COVID restrictions the virtual memorial service for Dad will be held Tuesday evening, July 6th. Following the service those attending will be invited to a digital wake using the Zoom platform. The digital wake will provide opportunities to corporately remember Walter in conversation with the family.

Information regarding the service will be posted on Dad’s Obituary Page with Glenwood Funeral Home and Cemetery, www.arbormemorial.ca/en/glenwood/obituaries/walter-regehr/66184 Instead of flowers, consider giving to Young Life Port Alberni at: https://donate.younglife.ca/funds/215 or Bethel Bible Camp Westlock at: www.bethelbiblecamp.com/support-bethel/

Alberta RCMP urge drivers to be sober over long weekend Moush John Tofield Mercury

Though less traffic is expected on provincial highways this upcoming Victoria Day long weekend due to current public health restrictions, Alberta RCMP will be out patrolling and removing impaired drivers from the roads in participation of National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day on Saturday, May 22.

This annual initiative is part of Canada Road Safety Week (CRSW), a national campaign held from May 18-24 led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.

“In 2020, approximately 20 per cent of all fatal motor vehicle collisions in Alberta RCMP jurisdictions involved impaired driving. Last year, Alberta RCMP charged 40 motorists with impairment over the VictoriaDay-long weekend

alone,” said Insp. Chris Romanchych, Alberta RCMP Traffic Services.

“We want to ensure that everyone, wherever they may be travelling over the long weekend, does so safely.”

The country-wide campaign aims to make roads and highways safest in the world by promoting safe driving behaviours as they relate to impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and more.

In addition to enforcing sober driving over the long weekend, the Alberta RCMP will be sharing traffic tips throughout the week in support of CRSW. The Alberta RCMP will work together with law enforcement agencies across the province during CRSW and the holiday long weekend to ensure road users are adhering to traffic laws and practicing smart driving behaviours.

National Road Safety Week According to the Canada Safety Council and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. it’s National Road Safety Week from May 18-24.

In order to draw your attention to four specific risks behind the wheel that are deadly, devastating and #NotWorthTheRisk, Gareth Jones, President and CEO of the Canada Safety Council said, “In the context of vehicle safety, there are four types of risks that we see result in injury and fatality far too often.

“Speed, distraction, impairment and lack of seatbelt use continue as prevalent issues on Canadian roadways, and moving the needle on road safety means helping people make better discretionary behavioural choices.”

Obituary SKIP WILLIS Nov. 5, 1937 - May 12, 2021 Edward (Skip) Joseph Willis is predeceased by his loving wife Betty Willis. Skip deeply loved and cared for his dear wife Betty and was looking forward to his reunion with her. Skip passed away on May 12, 2021 at the age of 83 years.

Skip had an active full life and was a multitalented, gentle, kind man with a strength of character that shone brightly through his personality for all to see. He was a man of impeccable honour and integrity, honesty and fairness at the core of his life's endeavours. His badge of honour was his credibility, sacred ground when expounding in testimony on anything of importance. Skip was an avid musician, singer, songwriter, who accomplished much, writing over 200 plus songs and creating three full length CDs of his work. Skip and Betty loved their music.

Skips accolades were varied and many in the areas of leadership, policing, physical fitness, education, and training. He has golfed most of his life and loved the game. His friendly demeanor, jokes, and sense of humour captured the hearts of many who he considered his friends.

Skip was a husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and great grandfather to his loving family. He will be remembered lovingly by all who received his smile and knew the humble man within.

A private family service will be held. Interment will take place at the Ryley Cemetery.

Report focuses on community based policing Patricia Harcourt Sgt. Lee Knelsen, Tofield RCMP detachment commander, provided a quarterly report on community based policing for this year up to the end of March.

The Tofield RCMP detachment provides police services to the urban areas of Tofield and Holden, and the rural areas of Beaver County.

“We recognize that having a voice in policing priorities is a top concern for community,” stated Knelsen. “As part of maintaining engagement with the Albertans we serve, this new quarterly policing report is a tool for us to report our progress on community identified priorities.

“This report also is our commitment to communicate the work we do to enhance public safety in your community.” Knelsen delivered this report to Beaver County Council at council’s online meeting May 5.

Knelsen stressed that the police are “focusing on pro-active policing rather than reactive,” style enforcement strategy. In other words, focusing “on getting members out on the road.”

He explained this was a way to “maintain visibility”with the public, using “intelligence based crime reduction strategies that means working with neighbouring detachments such as Viking, Killam and Vegreville.

Information sharing and “rolling out that intelligence with them” is the result of that collaboration.

The RCMP continue to work with the elderly, through FCSS and other agencies, and youth.

“It’s important for children to be open to talking to the RCMP,” he said. For now, however, members can’t visit the schools or hold meetings for seniors to learn about fraud and other dangers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RCMP is doing “some virtual work,” he said.

Turning to property crime statistics, there was a spike in this category due to a travelling group of criminals hitting Holden, Ryley, Beaver County, Flagstaff and Lamont areas.

With six vehicles stolen in the detachment area, he noted as spike in the statistics for the period from the end of January and February. There were three arrests made and charges laid, he said.

Knelsen attributed a spike in mental health files to the effects of COVID-19 causing more threatening and other behaviours.

So far in 2021, for instance, there have been 10 assaults (up 150% from the previous year), three cases of uttering threats and a case of criminal harassment.

In the first three months of 2021, there wee 11

breaks and enters, eight thefts of motor vehicles, 11 thefts under $5,000, and seven cases of possession of stolen goods.

Last year, there was a push to educate the public about property crimes and how to prevent them. A survey was conducted on social media by the RCMP. “We had a great response to that,” he said, calling it “a very valuable program.”

Knelsen also announced that “we are rolling out this week a Prolific Offender Program,” explaining that only about 10 per cent of criminals are causing 80 per cent of the crime.

Knelsen said that a similar program he helped start in Red Deer was highly successful.

The other priority for the RCMP is to maintain public confidence and increase engagement. This means members getting involved in the community, although maintaining a presence in the schools is not possible during the pandemic.

“I’m always hopeful that we will see some reduction in the restrictions so we can get out in the community,” he said, to engage youth and the elderly with educational pieces,” of information.

He also pointed out a downward trend in the number of calls the police are dealing with, or 200 less for each of the last three years: 2,800 calls in 2018, 2,600 calls in 2019, and 2,400 calls in 2020.

Knelsen this positive downward trend allows the RCMP “to focus our efforts somewhere else.”

The police received 22 per cent of their calls from within Tofield itself, with 75 per cent from Beaver County residents. This means that three-quarters of the calls are originating from the county and Village of Holden.

“The focus is to get members on the road so we can respond where things happen,” he said. “The focus is on making criminals aware they (the officers) are out and about.”

To that end, the RCMP are planning to conduct check stops and increase awareness in the public of their presence.

“We continue to work on participation in Rural Crime Watch,” he said, calling it important for the public and the RCMP. “We are not asking the public to do our job but we are hopeful they will get Rural Crime Watch up and running again in the fall.”

Knelsen said the local detachment is “fully supportive” in that initiative.

And, although he is hopeful that crime statistics are trending down, he saw challenges in certain areas such as Person’s Crimes that could increase some more, due to the pandemic.

In a question and answer session, Councillor Dale

Pederson (Division 5) wondered if there has been increased enforcement needed for protocols around COVID-19 restrictions.

“No, we haven’t seen an increase,” replied Knelsen. “The public has been very supportive…It’s been very positive to date.”

“It’s nice to hear some of the numbers are favourable,” said Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4).

“I certainly respect the fact that you’re facing big challenges out there,” said Councillor Kevin Smook (Division 1). “Stay safe.”

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3 Councillor) told Knelsen he “appreciate what you are going to do,” in the community, but added it would be “tough to be engaged with youth,” noting a “disconnect between youth and the schools.”

With community events cancelled, councillors can no longer meet officers performing duties in Continued on BCC2

Council notes from May 5 County meeting

Beaver County held its last meeting on May 5. Here are some meeting notes from that virtual council: New CAO for Water Services Commission Michael, Bolch, recently appointed CAO for the Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission, attended the meeting virtually to share introductions with council.

Agricultural Services Board Appeal Committee Municipalities are required to have committees in place to hear appeals against Notices issued under Acts administered by Agricultural Service Boards. Council passed a motion approving the structure of the Agricultural Notice of Appeal Committee to be the members of the Subdivision Appeal Board who have let their names stand for this

committee.

K3 Corn Maze and Family Farm traffic issues Council passed a motion that administration work with the applicant for the K3 Corn Maze and Family Farm and Alberta Transportation to resolve traffic issues on Hwy 14, and RR 194 and Secondary Highway 630 and TWP Rd 512 and the intersections of TWP RD 512 and RR 194 and further that a report be presented by administration at a subsequent council meeting.

Holden Rural Academy - Letter of Support Council passed a motion directing administration to forward a letter of support for the proposed Holden Rural Academy Charter School, to the Minister of Education.

SAFELY SHARING N THE ROAD WITH LA ARGE VEHICLES Claystone Waste operates its own fleet of transport and collections trucks as well as we have many customers that transport waste to our site. We work hard to ensure the safety of all those on the road: our drivers, our customers and the general public. There are proactive ways that we can all help to ensure that everyone safer on the road.

Give Ample Space Keep at least four seconds of driving time between yourself and large commercial vehicles. Large e,, heav vy y trucks are more difficult to maneuver and need longer distances to stop than other vehicles in emergency situations.

Stay Out of Blind Spots In addition to giving ample space, you have to be aware of areas where you might not be visible to commercial drivers. One of these blinds spots is behind the unit. You can stay out of this blind spot by not following too close. ˂˧˛˘˥ ˕˟˜ˡ˗ ˦ˣˢ˧˦ ˔˥˘ ˙ˢ˨ˡ˗ ˨ˡ˗˘˥ ˧˛˘ ˗˥˜˩˘˥Ϡ˦ ˦˜˗˘ ˔ˡ˗ ˣ˔˦˦˘ˡ˚˘˥ ˠ˜˥˥ˢ˥˦ and then extending back and out towards the rear of the truck.

Signal Signalling gives other drivers an indication of what you are about to do.

Large trucks have less maneuverability and take much longer to stop than other vehicles. You can ensure that they y know what you are going to do by giving them a heads up.

Dim Y Yo our Headlights

Policing Continued from BCC1 communities. Hrabec said he wanted to meet the new members on the local force.

“I like to see that the game has been stepped up considerably,” he said,” noting there is “now a positive awareness of country policing.” Hrabec felt the police squads now being used in rural Alberta are showing a positive result in catching criminals.

Tofield and the county are an hour

from the city, he said, “so we are easy targets for criminal…It’s tough being a small group (of officers) covering a large area 24/7.”

Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2 councillor) agreed.

“We certainly do see the presence of the RCMP out there,” he said.

“Hopefully we can spring some interest in Rural Crime Watch as well.”

“It’s an ever changing environment and we’re happy to change with it,” Knelsen replied, adding: “We are up for the expected challenge for this year.”

Dimming your lights when approaching a truck k,, both from behind and the front help ensure that truckers can see any hazards that the ey y might need to avoid. ʼ˧ ˜˦ ˧˛˘ ˖ˢˠˠ˘˥˖˜˔˟ ˗˥˜˩˘˥Ϡ˦ ˥˘˦ˣˢˡ˦˜˕˜˟˜˧ˬ ˧ˢ ˘ˡ˦˨˥˘ ˧˛˔˧ ˧˛˘ˬ ˔˥˘ ˢˣ˘˥˔˧˜ˡ˚ in a safe mannerr,, change lanes safely and that the ey y are checking for other vehicles, but we can all be proactive in our own safety.

Township Road 480 Construction Update Over the next few weeks, Township Road 480 from Highway 36 to Range Road 132, 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 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.

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.

The Tofield Mercury, Wednesday, May 19, 2021 - Page 25

Road safety during Victoria Day long weekend Continued from Page 9 of the drivers in these cases being between 16 and 24 years of age.

“This campaign is about an honest assessment of risk versus reward when drivers make decisions behind the wheel,” Chief Robert Martin, Chair of the CACP Traffic Safety Committee said. “In the moment, decisions are generally focused on personal needs and individual assessments of acceptable risk, with little regard or thought to what that could potentially mean for others.

Canadians must be responsible citizens on Canada’s shared roads.”

This should not come as a shock to most drivers either; a study commissioned by Transport Canada shows that 70 per cent of Canadians admit to exceeding the speed limit at times on residential and rural roads, while 81 per cent admitted to doing so on highways.

Slow down on the roads. Excessive speeds can be dangerous for you, for your fellow road users, and give everyone involved less time to react to the space around them.

Distracted driving: Any action that takes a driver’s eyes off the road constitutes distracted driving, though a predominant focus of the issue continues to be device use behind the wheel.

In some parts of Canada, distracted driving fatalities have overtaken impaired driving fatalities – they impact Canadian drivers to the tune of an estimated 20 per cent of all fatal collisions. Despite the known risks and frequent media attention on the issue, a 2020 CAA poll reported that 47 per cent of Canadians have typed a message or used the voice memo feature behind the wheel.

“It’s our responsibility as conscientious road users to remain vigilant at all times and stay fo-

cused on the task at hand,” said Jones.

Leave the phone alone.

If there’s an urgent call you must take, pull over before doing so. Driving is a complex task with many moving parts. As such, it requires your full attention.

Impaired driving: Impairment can fall under one of three major headings: alcohol impairment, drug impairment and fatigue impairment. All three can significantly affect your ability to react quickly, to drive defensively and to avoid collisions.

The most recent data available from Transport Canada’s National Collision Database demonstrates that one in five fatal collisions involved alcohol as a contributing factor. Research from the Traffic Injury Research Foundation points to 42.4 per cent of fatally injured drivers testing positive for drugs, the majority of which were cannabis and central nervous system depressants.

Furthermore, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators estimates that driver fatigue is a factor in approximately 20 per cent of fatal collisions.

These behaviours are not new, nor are they reasonable to engage in behind the wheel. Don’t drive while impaired – take a taxi, get a friend to give you a ride, or simply wait until you’re no longer impaired to hit the road.

Seatbelt use: Generally, Canadians are getting the message – seat belt use over recent years has hovered around the 95 per cent mark. However, according to the ITFRSD, more than 30 per cent of vehicle occupants who were killed in 2018 were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

Seatbelt use in Canada should be second nature.

Worn correctly, they can significantly reduce the likelihood of death and serious injury. Buckle up!

The common factor: The common factor in all

these behaviours is simple: they are all choices that drivers make. And yet, the data clearly demonstrates two salient points: they all have direct correlations with

death and injury, and they are all widely accepted to be dangerous, yet the prevalence of these issues is widespread.

Drive safely, with your

eyes on the road, your full attention to the task, your faculties unimpaired and your seatbelt on. Driving any differently is #NotWorthTheRisk.
