Saluting Ponoka's 20th century landmarks and early founders - Ponoka News

Thursday, September 14, 2017

The colourful and exciting history of Ponoka and surrounding districts began way back in the 1870s at the Battle River Crossing (now Highway 2A south bridge), which at that time was a vital supply point along the first rugged wagon trail between Edmonton and Calgary. After 1891 when the Edmonton/Calgary railway line came through the tiny Village of Ponoka, N.W.T., a large working station building was constructed and initially called Siding 14.A steady stream of settlers from Canada, the American northwest, and Europe then came into this area to establish their new homesteads, to clear and seed the lush agricultural land, and to slowly establish their livelihoods and raise their traditionally large families.This humble settlement next to the railway line and the surrounding rural districts grew at a rapid pace, and in 1904 Ponoka was officially declared as a town and became a vital service centre to the entire area.

Friday, March 17, 2017

Pueblo, Colorado. He was born January 29, 1924, the third of four sons, to Nansen and Kirsten Vold in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Vold grew up in the Asker area east of Ponoka, Alberta. His education included a youth training school that taught etiquette along with a high school curriculum. Proper manners and the lessons learned from growing up in the Depression served him the rest of his life. Following in his father's footsteps, Vold started auctioneering at age 15. He was self-taught, but his preparation and personality resulted in him being sought after as an auctioneer the rest of his life. Harry was an auctioneer for one year at the Edmonton Stock Yards, and then for 8 years at the Calgary Stock Yards. Vold and his brother Ralph, along with Bill and Shorty Jones, then purchased an auction barn in Ponoka, Alberta. Vold, Jones, and Vold, was a very successful auction business for over 50 years. Vold continued to work as the auctioneer at special events until just a few years before his death.Vold was a cowboy.

"We want to fight for our freedoms and our rights. We want fair government.""We are watching Justin Trudeau slowly strip away every right we had," Sarah Zaldinger, of Timmins, said as about two dozen supporters waited for the convoy to arrive, sharing updates on when the parade would roll into town."He is stripping the future of my children and their children and their children," Zaldinger said. "They are being set up for failure.
