After one term as High River’s mayor, Emile Blokland had planned to run for the job again this fall.
At least that was the plan until Mother Nature rained on his parade.
Since late June, the former Stettler businessman and town councillor has been immersed in the greatest fl ood in High River’s history.
On the frontlines of the fl ood devastation and the efforts to rebuild the town, Blokland has been both heralded and vilifi ed for his part in the recovery.
Such is the life of a politician.The upheaval has at least made Blokland, 60, reconsider
another bid for the mayor’s chair in the October municipal election.
“That’s a tough question,” he said in a July interview when asked whether he intends to seek re-election.
“I had signalled intention early in the spring that I would run for another term, but this past month has been extremely draining for me personally and mentally.
“I’m going to be working hard these next two to three months, before the term is fi nished, and I think I’ll re-assess my energy level towards the end of August, and make a followup statement on that.”
Either way, Blokland’s life has been forever impacted — likewise for 13,000 residents of High River, and those people in other southern Alberta communities whose properties were destroyed in the June 20 fl ood strike.
Historically, “High River has had many fl oods,” said Blokland, who was elected to High River town council in 2007 and became the mayor in 2010.
“We’re very good at dealing with fl oods in High River. We’re very experienced. Water comes, water goes, we clean up afterwards and life goes on. We never ask for help and we take care of things. (But) this one was totally different. It stopped being a fl ood about three hours into the event and became a disaster.”
On a personal level, Blokland was awakened early on the day the raging fl oodwaters arrived and broke the banks of the Highwood River. And he’s relived the nightmare many times since then.
“I was awakened at about six (o’clock) in the morning and made my way to the town offi ce right away with the rest of council,” he said. “At 7:04, we declared a local state of emergency, and reports starting coming in from all over about the amount of water that was coming our way. The provincial monitoring stations that are in place to help communities like High River to know what’s coming at us were all blown out, so we got no information from them.

Stettler plans fl ood protection
in town development strategyRICHARD FROESE
Independent reporter
After spring fl ooding devastated parts of southern Alberta, policies to protect property have been recommended for the Town of Stettler’s updated municipal development plan.
At its regular meeting last week, town council gave fi rst reading to the bylaw to update the MDP, as staff plans to adopt the bylaw before the municipal election in mid-October.
“Only two signifi cant amendments to the MDP have been made,” Dave Dittrick of Zap Consulting told council.
“The policy respecting development within the fl oodway/fl ood fringe has been reinstated.
“Under the new plan, the environmental policy will reinstate that the town will not permit development in areas prone to fl ooding.
“Permanent structures will not be allowed in a 1:100-year fl ood plain of the Red Willow Creek.
“Permanent structures will be allowed in the fl ood fringe of the creek, subject to appropriate fl ood-proofi ng certifi ed by a professional engineer.”
The town’s director of operations, Melissa Robbins, told council that a fl ood map is being
developed in partnership with the County of Stettler. As well, the transportation map has been revised to shift the trucking and dangerous goods route from 46 Street to the newly-aligned section of Highway 56.
“Since last summer, (the town) administration has undertaken community consultation and prepared the fi nal amendments to the municipal development plan,” Dittrick said.
Just one Stettler resident attended an open house last October.
After a public hearing, the updated MDP is scheduled to be presented to the current council.

“At nine o’clock in the morning, the water breached the riverbanks, which is right next to the downtown area, and water started trickling into the downtown area.
“At 9:30, a half hour later, that wa-ter was three-to-four-feet high. And we had to evacuate our emergency operation centre downtown and get everybody else out of downtown, all at the same time.”
Within minutes, Blokland found himself in the middle of the mayhem, as residents tried to fi nd safe trans-portation to a rescue centre.
“My personal vehicle, which is a three quarter-ton truck, was fi lled with people in the back end,” he said.
“I had fi ve people crammed into the passenger seats and the seat be-hind me, including an 89-year-old gentleman who I basically had to lift into my truck.
“We had to wind our way out of the downtown community with-out fl ooding our engine and getting stalled. Many other vehicles were in my way. I could hardly negotiate my way (through the streets).
“This all happened in half an hour. Fortunately, I was able to get out and get to higher ground, and get those people to safety. But that was indica-tive of what was happening a lot of the time.
“The rest of that morning, we had combines, front-end loaders, rock trucks, everything, going into the deeper water, picking people up and getting them out of the downtown and southwest areas of our commu-nity, particularly, and getting them to safety.”
That was just the beginning of the rescue operation, which turned into a town-wide evacuation as vehicles were buried in water and homes and businesses suffered extensive dam-age.
“As the day went on, we continued to issue mandatory evacuation orders to get people out of town, because it was way more serious than anything we had ever seen before,” Blokland recalled.
“The entire community of 13,000 residents was evacuated, save for — you heard the reports — a couple of hundred people that stayed behind.”
Three people from the High River
area died in the fl ood strife, while thousands of people had to wait at least 10 days to return to their homes. The massive cleanup and rebuild con-tinues as the province, the town and residents grapple with the aftermath and the future.
“I think people, no matter where they live, are resilient by nature,” Blokland said during a Stettler visit that gave him a brief break from the fl ood fi ght.
“Overall, I think the spirit is good. I know that with all of us, myself in-cluded, you know your feelings go up and down in a curve. One day, you wake up energized and you go at it. And maybe towards the end of the day, depression will set in. As we see each home getting rebuilt, each busi-ness getting back open, bit by bit, inch by inch, the feeling of empower-ment for citizens returns.
“There’s no doubt you will lose some residents that have had enough, don’t want to go through this again, and we’re probably going to lose a few businesses that were unable to start up quickly enough again because of fi nancial diffi culties or whatever. Hopefully, it’s very few. I’d be naïve to think that we aren’t going to lose some, but hopefully it’s very few. Hopefully, we’ll be able to
recover the population base, the busi-ness base, as quickly as possible.”
The mayor’s own house was among those damaged in the fl ood-ing, but he had bigger issues on his mind when disaster struck that unfor-gettable Thursday, June 20.
“(My home) was the furthest thing from my mind,” he said. “It might sound funny or whatever, but the only thing that was on my mind was the town.
“It’s a strange feeling. June 20 is a day I’ll never forget. For the next eight days, nine days, before we starting letting people back in the community, every day I would drive through the community and we’d be making these slow progresses. But every morning I’d wake up, it felt like Groundhog Day — that movie with Bill Murray. Every morning I’d wake up, the nightmare was still there.
“I lived that June 20 every day, day over, for 10 days. As a mayor, I felt really relieved and it really made me feel better, the day we fi nally al-lowed the fi rst residents back into the northwest (district). Approximately a third of our community lives in the northwest.
“We had a welcome centre at the rodeo grounds, and I was there from the very beginning to the very end that day, welcoming all the residents back. They didn’t know what type of situation they were going to face, but the residents, too, were happy they were able to get back to their home and begin (the recovery).”
The devastation in High River and Calgary occurred just a couple of weeks before a train derailment in Lac-Megantic, Que., caused an ex-plosion that killed 47 people.
“My heart goes out to those folks,” Blokland said.
“They not only lost their down-town, they lost (47) citizens. We lost three citizens in our fl oods — one in High River and two just outside High River.
“It could have been a lot of worse. We very quickly had RCMP on the ground, we had the military move in within a few days, and we did a house-to-house search to make sure we didn’t miss anybody — and we didn’t. Of course, some doors had to be busted to do that. So be it. Nobody else lost their life. We can fi x a door. You can’t bring a life back.”

Bashaw-area MLA Doug Griffi ths is slated to be a guest as Bashaw co-hosts a family benefi t Aug. 24 to support fl ood victims in High River.
Children’s and fam-ily activities at the Bashaw Agricultural Grounds begin at 2:30 p.m., followed by a barbecue at 5 p.m. Enter-tainment is set to kick off at 3 p.m., with Bashaw musi-cian Ty Christian Wilson, Bashaw Community The-atre and a variety of other community performers.
“People in the commu-nity have helped to create this event,” said Bashaw or-ganizer Jackie Northey.
The Battle River-Wain-wright Progressive Conser-vative Constituency Asso-ciation planned the event as a Bashaw picnic, and later decided to expand it into a fl ood-relief fundraiser.
Battle River MLA and Municipal Affairs Minis-ter Griffi ths has been at the forefront of fl ood-recovery efforts, and former Stettler resident Emile Blokland is High River’s mayor.
Griffi ths plans to attend the Bashaw event with his wife, Sue, and sons Austin, 7, and Brady, 4.
“We want to help out High River and fl ood vic-tims,” said volunteer Tasha Blanchard. “Our commu-nity is close-knit and always willing to work together and help and support people, and other communities. If any disaster struck Bashaw, we would expect other communities to support us.”
During the fl ood recov-ery, about 37 seniors from Calgary are being housed in the former Bashaw Valley Lodge and the new Bashaw Meadows. — Froese

Set to start renovations to the Stettler Recreation Centre this fall, tenders have come in on budget at more than $1.8 million.
At its regular meeting last week, Town of Stettler council approved the lowest tender of $1,810,675 f rom Shunda Consu l t ing and Management to complete the proj-ect. The makeover includes work to renovate Stettler Public Library, convert the upper conference room into a new seniors’ centre, and reconfigure the main entrance and foyer with both levels.
“This is good news,” said Stettler Mayor Dick Richards. “It’s pretty well bang on the estimated cost.”
As the tender was awarded, council also included an option to negotiate the final details and costs, after some councillors expressed concern that the bid didn’t include cost of a high ceiling — a feature
that could be eliminated.Coun. Leona Thorogood said she
opposed the high ceiling if the cost exceeded $30,000.
Project archi tect John Hull included a vaulted ceiling as an aesthetic feature.
Coun. Darcy Bachman, however, suggested that council include the fancy feature.
“Two or three years down the road, we may wonder why we didn’t include it,” Bachman said.
After the figures are finalized, the town plans to begin the project by September, with the library and seniors’ centre leading the way.
“Should council approve enter-ing a contract, we will issue a letter of intent to Shunda on the town’s behalf and get the ball rolling as soon as possible,” Hull said.
For the Stettler project, Hull has proposed costs for.
— Entrance addition and foyer for both levels, for $635,788.
— Library renovat ions , for $643,628.
— Seniors’ social centre, for $519,863.
“We believe the estimate still reflects very good value for the town and the future of the recre-ation centre,” Hull said.
He said the budget increase reflects minor changes, with steps to upgrade lighting to energy-effi-cient, raising the library ceiling, and adding two air-handling units to provide better air control in the library and seniors’ centre.
Similar to the project to build the Stettler Sports Park, the upgrade to the SRC includes opportunities for special donations of money and furnishings from service organiza-tions and citizens.
BOOKING OFF: Stettler Public Library is expected to be closed for two months when renovations start at the Stettler Recreation Centre in early September.
To he lp c lear some of the shelves, the library plans to host a book sale, which runs from Aug. 22 to Aug. 25.

Save the Senate
PromotingStettlerin the tradition ofCarl Stettler
Summertime is, in my estimation, a great season! The lengthened days, warmer temperatures and signs of life in both field and forest appeal to me. And then there are vacations!
I believe that vacations are important; apparently, a number of governments and countries agree. Joe Robinson, in his book, “Work to Live,” lists the minimum number of vacation days legislated by 10 nations (you may wish to move after reading them). Spain: 30 France: 30 Ire-land: 28 Japan: 25 Belgium: 24 Norway: 21 United Kingdom: 20 Germany: 18 Canada: 10 United States.
The word vacation is not found in scripture, but the concept is taught. In Mark 6:31, Jesus emphasized the need for a break and told His disciples, “come apart ... and rest a while.” The inference has been made that if we don’t come apart, we may come apart!
There are some potential pitfalls, how-ever. Economics is one of them. Many have had “plastic” vacations and conse-quently experienced the stress that comes with paying the credit cards off just in time to start running them up again for Christmas. Successful vacations are af-fordably planned to enhance our family, not impress the neighbours.
Co-operation and communication are also important. A vacation is a family af-fair, after all; in fact, part of a success-ful vacation will in all likelihood include some careful consideration of and con-sultation with other family members.
Vacations are, to some degree, about making memories. Good memories are not necessarily built on popular, expen-sive places or events.
One of our most memorable family
adventures was dropping into an Afro-American church in Atlanta, Ga. We had a great time worshipping God with Chris-tians of a different ethnic background, but the same faith. It didn’t cost a penny, but blessed all five of us.
I read once that a vacation consists of two weeks, that are too short, after which you are too tired to return to work and too broke not to. Some have said, “I had to come back to work to rest,” and “the kids drove me crazy on vacation this year,” or “vacation was too short this year ... I’m coming back less rested than I left!”
While being an advocate for vaca-tions, I would like to suggest that if we’re looking for real rest and rejuvenation, it will always tend to come from within. A good holiday may complement, but not create, rest.
The rest many seek is found, not in a vacation, but in a person. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy bur-dens, and I will give you rest ... Let me teach you ... and you will find rest for your souls.”
Have a safe, restful vacation!
Pastor Ross Helgeton is senior pastorat Erskine Evangelical Free Church.

Good holiday complements break rather than creating it
Stettler fuels lowest prices in Alberta
By Brian Lee CrowleyTroy Media columnist
If abolishing the Senate is the answer, we are asking the wrong question. Yes, the current shenanigans of a few sena-tors are unacceptable and worthy of censure. Yes, the way people get to be senators is outdated, unacceptable and pre-vents the upper house from playing its proper constitutional role. But abolition would also prevent that crucial role from being played and its disappearance would be a grievous blow to our constitutional order.
Every serious federation in the world has an upper cham-ber, but I have not seen anyone in the current debate explain why that is and why it matters.
Democratic federations seek to balance two kinds of rep-resentation: individuals and communities.
The lower house (in our case the Commons) represents individuals and hence is universally based on representation by population. Legislation cannot pass parliament unless it has the consent of MPs representing a majority of Canadi-ans. But Canada, like all federations, is also composed of constitutionally-recognized communities; in our case, the provinces. For national decision-making to be legitimate in a federation, the virtually universal rule is that you need something more than the assent of the majority of individu-als; you also need the assent of some important share of the communities that make up the country. The interests of the people who inhabit the provinces or states cannot be fully represented by rep-by-pop alone.
Why? Just think about Canada: for a long time, Ontario and Quebec have had enough inhabitants that they could impose their will on the rest of the country if they so wished. Ditto in the U.S. for a handful of big states. That is the vital role played by upper chambers: they confer greater demo-cratic legitimacy on national decisions by ensuring that a double majority is needed, one majority of individuals in the lower house, a majority of communities in the upper house.
Because rep-by-pop is the bedrock principle of democ-racy, the lower house is always the more powerful of the two. But in a federation it is also important that regionally concentrated majorities cannot run roughshod over the in-terests of smaller communities. Upper houses play that role. Coalitions of small communities cannot rule over the ma-jority of the population, because law-making also requires the agreement of the lower house. But in federations, agree-ment of the majority is not enough to achieve democratic legitimacy.
Perfect equality of provincial representation is not re-quired, but the unavoidable goal is to give smaller commu-nities some counterweight to a population’s political power, ensuring that their interests are also taken into account. Thus Quebec and Ontario, despite having two-thirds of the population, have fewer than half the seats in our Senate.
One of Canada’s great political and constitutional weak-nesses has been the inability of the Canadian Senate to play this vital role of providing a credible community counter-weight to the rep-by-pop based power of the Commons. Appointed senators simply can never have the democratic horsepower to be a real counterweight to the Commons. The federal government’s legislation, therefore, lacks the legiti-macy of the double-majority system that other federations have found so indispensable, and this is at the root of many of the problems of regional alienation and suspicion of the national government that has plagued Canada since 1867.
Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall, arguably the best premier in the country, thinks that the way around this is to abolish the Senate and rely on the premiers to represent community in-terests in national decisions. No federation in the world has found this a satisfactory solution, for a variety of reasons. The most important is that premiers are elected to run their provinces. That is not the same thing as being chosen to be a national legislator, someone whose constitutional job it is to represent a provincial constituency while thinking about what is good for Canada.
We have only to look at the laughable efforts of our pre-miers to act as national decision-makers to see that they are slaves to their parochial interests. That is not a criticism; it’s their job. But it is also why their job cannot be to confer that vital missing element of regionally-representative le-gitimacy the federal government lacks and needs.
Abolishing the Senate would get rid of the institution that should be playing that role, no matter how badly its current version falls short. It would diminish the federal govern-ment and empower provincial parochialism. Reform may be hard, but it is the only way. Canada deserves the effort.

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY Page A5Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Recently, federal Ag-riculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced that the Canadian beef industry would benefi t from a re-cently proclaimed levy on beef imports into Canada. He noted that the levy will result in a more equitable relationship with our trad-ing partners.
Really — it’s only taken 20 years to approve — how equitable is that.
At a projected $800,000 of levy income per year, the industry has lost $16 million over that 20-year period of delay — our competitors put those mil-lions in their pockets.
It should be noted the levy hasn’t yet been imple-mented, being the actual collection process has to be fi nalized. If the approv-al process is any example, that could be a long time from now, and the industry can expect to lose another couple of million. But I guess in this case, beggars can’t protest too much.
The levy legislation falls under the Farm Products Council of Canada (FPCC) whose chairman Laurent Pellerin blithely stated, “The money is there to be collected, I never under-stood why people weren’t using it.”
For those of us who were around 20 years ago and watched the process deal with endless bureau-cratic hurdles imposed by the same organization that Pellerin now chairs, such statements are almost pa-
thetic, if they weren’t so sad. Clearly, the chairman has no awareness of the history of this levy and probably his own organi-zation’s byzantine regula-tions.
The reality is that vir-tually every commodity group that has looked at the idea of levying imports through the FPCC has given up when confronted with the wall of bureau-cratic hoops and restric-tions.
Only the cattle industry has persevered for the past 20 years, mostly through the dogged determination of the Canadian Cattle-men’s Association and the bottomless patience of Rob McNabb, their operations manager. It has to be the height of bureaucratic in-sanity that it takes 20 years to approve and implement what should be a straight-forward application.
It’s a shameful process, particularly in light of the fact that are competitors seem to be able to imple-ment such levies in a tenth of the time. If the FPCC had an any conscious, they should compensate the in-
dustry for some of the mil-lions that were lost to this shameful delay.
In looking back when the original FPCC legisla-tion was amended to allow for such an import levy, one ponders at the diaboli-cal process bureaucrats in-vented to in effect make it all but impossible for this levy to be approved.
For bureaucrats, this must have been some sort of triumph — yes you can, but no you won’t rules. Much of it boils down to that boy scout trade at-titude that Canadian trade offi cials have — the fear of what our trading partners might do or even think.
I fully suspect that when this legislation was cre-ated, our own Canadian of-fi cials probably dealt more with foreign trade offi cials and their opinions than with what was right for the Canadian ag industry.
In another life, I worked for a livestock organization and had the opportunity to discuss this sort of import levy with offi cials from livestock and meat export agencies in the U.S., Aus-tralia and New Zealand.
As a matter of principle, they were opposed to any levy or tariff on their prod-ucts, but in practicality they accepted the principle of reciprocity — being they in most cases applied levies and tariffs to livestock and meat products exported to their countries from Cana-da. However, most of those groups were wise to the powers of lobbying senior civil servants in the federal government and new that there were different ways to skin a cat.
I expect that encourag-ing those folks to create byzantine rules that would thwart and delay levy ap-proval was a realistic goal for our competitors — af-ter all, it saved them $16 million so far.
One might hope that the FPCC would have learned something from the excru-ciating process and delay that they put the cattle in-dustry through and perhaps make some amendments to speed up the process.
But, alas, miracles or common sense rarely occur within the machinations of the federal bureaucratic mindset. The reality is the process does not need to be so complicated with approvals from multiple layers of government and organizations.
If a levy is applied to a Canadian product, than an imported product should pay the same levy — it’s a simple concept that seems to evade our federal offi cials.
Wildrose wants inquiry into fl ood response
A family youth rally is planned for Aug. 24 in Stettler to champion anti-bullying efforts.
The picnic at West Stettler Park is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. a week from this Saturday.
Among the scheduled speakers are bullying vic-tim Mackenzie Murphy of Airdrie and her mother, Tara Murphy, along with the late Amanda Todd’s mother, Carol.
Games, food, prizes and entertainment are also part of the program, which organizers say highlights inclusiveness. Anti-bully-ing campaigns are taking shape in communities and schools across the province and beyond.
Last weekend, Bashaw hosted its second annual Be Brave golf tournament.
Anyone who would like to donate to the Stettler event, or volunteer for the day, is asked to contact lo-cal organizer Brandi Page at 587-282-1402 or [email protected].
Donations can also be made to “Free to be You and Me” at ATB Stettler.
“Take a stand against bullying,” organizers said.

It’s ‘only’ taken 20 years to approve beef-import levy
Looking back on the events of the 2013 fl oods in southern Alber-ta, Albertans are left with many unanswered questions.
If we are ever going to learn from the disastrous fl ooding so we can be better prepared in the future, we need the answers to these questions.
Why did early warning sys-tems fail? What were the proto-cols for warning Albertans before the waters hit? What steps were taken in the last 10 years to miti-gate fl ooding? What steps can be taken to improve responses in fu-ture emergencies?
Could the three tragic deaths due to the fl ooding have been avoided? What are the commu-nications responsibilities of local and provincial governments dur-
ing a state of emergency? Who is responsible for deciding evacua-tion policies, are the current pro-tocols suffi cient?
These unanswered questions are why the Wildrose Offi cial Opposition called for a judge-led public inquiry into the critical op-erational failures that put Alber-tans needlessly at risk during the 2013 fl oods. Albertans want and deserve a judge-led public inquiry to investigate the government’s
response so we will be better pre-pared for the next disaster.
Clearly, there are lessons to be learned from the 2013 fl oods and from the circumstances during the aftermath of fl ooding in High River. Much of what the govern-ment did to respond to the fl oods was done right, but signifi cant failures in key areas of govern-ment responsibility left Albertans feeling frustrated and hurt.
The Wildrose Offi cial Opposi-
tion caucus submitted a list of 50 questions to government that we believe a public inquiry should address. (To see the list, visit www.wildrose.ca).
Wildrose has led the post-fl ood discussion with a Preliminary Flood Report that contained 22 recommendations to prepare for future fl oods.
While the 2013 fl oods could not have been prevented in their entirety, the failure of the provin-cial government to heed repeated warnings and prepare for severe fl ooding resulted in far more damage and hardship than was necessary.
Wildrose Offi cial Opposition recommendations included im-plemented the 2006 Flood Mitiga-tion Report and a fl ood mitigation
infrastructure plan to help rebuild the vast majority of homes and businesses without forced reloca-tion. The Wildrose plan calls for assisting residents in areas that cannot be made safe in relocating to safer areas and a review of Al-berta’s early warning system.
The government should also improve Alberta’s fi nancial pre-paredness for future disasters by rebuilding the “Rainy Day” fund and budgeting annually for disas-ter response and recovery.
The bottom line here is that we must learn from High River. It’s naive to think something like this won’t happen again. It will.
Now, it’s just a matter of being the best prepared we can be. To get there, we need answers. We need a public inquiry.

Saturday, August 24 starting at 2:00p.m.Saturday, August 24 starting at 2:00p.m.
Our Conservative gov-ernment is focused on what matters to Canadians — jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. We are working hard to open new markets for Canada’s world-class manufacturers, because that sector is critical to ensuring we continue to create new jobs and new sources of prosperity for workers and families across Canada.
Manufacturers are ma-jor contributors to the Ca-nadian economy, employing approximately 1.8 million Canadians in a wide-range of industries across Canada — including aerospace, au-tomotive, food processing and shipbuilding. In our area of rural Alberta, many of our agricultural products are destined for Canada’s manufacturing sector before they reach retail markets.
Since 2006, we have as-sisted Canada’s manufactur-ers by lowering taxes, mak-ing Canada the first tariff-free zone for manufacturers in the G-20, reducing un-necessary red tape and im-proving conditions for busi-ness investment.
Those combined efforts have helped Canada’s man-ufacturing sector to com-pete and innovate in the 21st century global econo-my. Opening new markets and increasing Canadian exports is a key part of our plan to create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity.
As the government, we want to help ensure that Canada develops world-class manufacturing fa-cilities and we are working closely with workers and industry representatives.
Many communities in Canada rely on manufactur-ing as their economic base.
We are continuing to pursue trade talks with some of the largest, most dynamic and fastest-grow-ing economies in the world, including India, Japan, the European Union and the countries that make up the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Strengthening traditional markets and opening new ones have helped our agri-culture sales as well.
The Hon. Ed Fast, Min-ister of International Trade says, “Our government will continue to support Cana-dian manufacturers through initiatives that will unleash their potential to innovate and compete in the global economy, which will ben-efit hard-working Canadian families for years to come.”
The title of Economic Action Plan 2013 is “Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity.”
Working to strengthen Canada’s manufacturing sector for now and into the future is a good example of what we mean when we talk about securing long-term prosperity.
Our government has been doing that work in many sectors of Canada’s economy. We see this work up-close in the agricultural sector of our riding. Trade opportunities and state-of-the-art capabilities are two keys to providing communi-ties with the tools they need to be prosperous.

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARYPage A6 Wednesday, August 14, 2013
JOHN MacNEIL/Independent editor
Signs point toward progess in the County of Stettler.
What will it take for the Stet t ler Recreat ion Cent re and o ther rec -reation facilities in the Town of Stet t ler to be fairly funded by all user municipalities?
For years, and perhaps decades , the town has been wrestling with this issue?
Now with municipal elections on the horizon, this seems like an oppor-tune time to open up the issue to voters, because i t seems that the town and county are somewhat at a stalemate.
However, both sides are wil l ing to come to the table.
With many new faces on council after the elec-tions in October, the new councils will likely make the most progress.
Across the province, this is a common issue where it seems the larg-er munic ipa l i t ies wi th t h e m a j o r r e c r e a t i o n
faci l i t ies that are used more by people from out-side the community.
Ye t t he t owns foo t the whole bill to operate these facilities.
Both the taxpayers and councils in the towns say it’s simply a bad deal.
Most local politicians l ikely agree that major recreat ion faci l i t ies in Stettler are regional fa-cilities.
Ye t , w h y d o e s t h e town have to pay the whole shot to keep them operating.
I know one concept that works effectively in another province.
B a c k i n m y h o m e province of British Co-l u m b i a , r e c r e a t i o n
facili t ies in rural areas are fully funded and op-erated under a form of government known as a regional district that pro-vides and funds services for the region.
As such, recreational faci l i t ies are equitably supported and funded by all taxpayers in the area of the facility.
It has worked wonder-fully and effectively for decades in B.C,, so sure-ly that type of concept can work here in Stettler and elsewhere in Alberta.
Whi le bo th S te t t l e r councils have taken steps to find a solution, with the county ini t ia t ing a study and the town wel-coming the county to get an independent study.
After new councils are elected, this will likely become the major i tem on the agenda.
To w n M a y o r D i c k Richards to ld h is col -l e a g u e s a t a c o u n c i l
meeting this month that in speaking to other peo-ple about the issue, rural residents were unaware that the town pays virtu-ally the full operations.
With that knowledge, many of those residents, and more, might be will-ing to pay for the region-al facilities.
At the same time, the coun ty a l so faces the challenge of providing funds to other recreation-al facilities and commu-nity halls in villages and hamlets.
Several years ago, a county council lor sug-gested that the county support fewer facilities, particularly those that are seldom used and within a few kilometres.
O t h e r c o u n c i l l o r s suggest higher fees for residents outside the mu-nicipality, or taxpayers can check a box in their property tax form to in-dicate what recreat ion facilities they want their taxes to support.
Let’s open the discus-sion to all taxpayers in the region and find a so-lution that is fair and eq-uitable to all.
Fair funding best bet for recreation

Another two streets in Stettler will be paved as a local improvement proj-ect, with residents footing much of the cost.
At its regular meeting last week, Town of Stettler council supported a
staff recommendation to approve the projects for 50 Avenue between 38 and 42 streets and for 42 Street between 49 and 50 avenues at a cost of $385,825.
Letters of intent have been sent to property owners who have 30 days to petition against the work, and if a valid petition is not submitted, the town plans to complete the work this year.
Property owners have the option to
prepay their share without financing charges or include them annual on their property tax bill over 20 years.
Town buys wheel loaderWithin budget of $200,000, the town
purchased a new 2013 Volvo wheel loader for $189,753 from Strongco of Red Deer which presented the lowest of three bids of $177,462.
That figure includes a five-year ex-tended warranty for $4,466 and one set of forks and frame at $7,285.
“Staff is quite pleased with the lowest bids,” said Greg Switenky, the town’s assistant chief administrative officer.
“The Vo lvo was the p re fe r r ed machine, but they didn’t expect the price to come in that low.”

Ambitious to open up more land for industrial growth, the Town of Stettler has initiated steps to update the Northeast Industrial Ar-ea Structure Plan,
At its regular meeting last week, c o u n c i l supported a preferred op-tion, which will be present-ed to the community for re-view in the coming month.
“The town has a jewel here for industrial develop-ment,” said Dave Dittrick of Zap Consulting, as he presented the options and recommended option 2.
Dur ing d i scuss ion , Coun. Steve Wildeboer was the only one who preferred another option, but voted in favour of option 2 with the rest of his colleagues.
This option is also rec-
ommended by Melissa Robbins, director of opera-tions, and Leann Graham, planning and development officer.
Under this plan, road ac-cesses are reduced to the ring road that makes it the least expensive to construct and provides various sizes of lots.
After an open house in the coming month to pres-ent the options, the town will proceed to prepare a draft area structure plan.
Since this original was adopted in 1980, Dittrick said the demands for lands in the area have changed significantly to review and update the plan.
Most of the ASP area is in agriculture use although the current zoning map des-ignates the area as industri-al along with the municipal development plan.
Adjacent lands within
the town are generally used for industrial purposes.
The updated ASP will address components such as:
— Distribution of over-all development in four stages.
— Transportation im-provements including con-nections to existing indus-trial area and internal road networks.
— Water, wastewater and stormwater serving re-quirements.
— Location and align-ment of shallow (electric-ity, gas, telephone).
— Short- and long-term servicing plan and phasing.
— Existing storm reten-tion (snow dump) facility and the possible need to ex-pand or relocate.
— Budget data for ser-vicing of all phases and strategies for protecting natural capital.

Blue-green algae are present in the waters of Alix Lake, Alberta Health Services reported this week.
Residents living near the shores of this lake, as well as visitors to the lake, are advised to take the following pre-cautions:
• DO NOT DRINK WATER from or allow your pets to drink water from this lake. Boiling contaminated water does not remove toxins from the water. Provide an alterna-tive source of drinking water for pets and livestock.
• DO NOT SWIM OR WADE or allow your pets to swim or wade in this lake.
• AVOID CONTACT with blue-green algae along the shoreline.
• PEOPLE MAY wish to limit their consumption of fish from this lake.
Blue-green algae produce a toxin (poison) that can
cause serious illness to animals or humans who drink or have skin contact with water containing this toxin. Although weather and wind conditions can cause algae blooms to move from one location in the lake to another, the toxin can stay in the water even after algae have moved or disappeared.
As such, this advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
People who come in contact with or ingest water con-taining toxic blue-green algae may experience skin irrita-tion, rash, sore throat, sore red eyes, swollen lips, fever, nausea and vomiting and/or diarrhea. Symptoms usually appear within one to three hours and resolve in one to two days. Symptoms in children are often more pronounced because they spend more time in the water and are more likely to accidentally ingest contaminated water.
People who consume contaminated water as a primary source for drinking water can develop more serious ill-nesses, such as liver damage, over time.
If you suspect a problem related to blue-green algae, or if you require further information on blue-green algae, call Health Link Alberta at 1-866-408-LINK (5465).

The Meeting Creek railway station cele-brates 100 years on Sunday, Aug. 25, as part of the Prairie Fun Days in Camrose County that weekend.
“A mega-special day is planned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Meeting Creek station,” said Janine Carroll of the Canadian Northern Society, which co-hosts the event and has restored railway stations in Big Valley, Meeting Creek and Camrose.
A round dance at 2 p.m. highlights the day, with a brunch set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Other activities feature rides in a speeder car, “a great view” of the valley on a ride in a covered wagon, homemade
pies, and tours of the cosy station decorated in 1940s fashion and the 1917 classic Prairie grain elevator.
“Help us complete our hay-bale art structure by stuffing a scarecrow or get creative with kids’ crafts,” Carroll said.
Also part of the tour in the southern part of the county are historic points, including the Bashaw Fire Hall Museum and Bashaw Centennial Nature Trail.

The Heartland Beauti-fication Committee recog-nized the recipients of its first recycling excellence awards, as well as the an-nual beautification cham-pion for this year, at the Communities in Bloom judges’ reception July 26 at the Stettler Recreation Centre.
The Recycling Excel-lence Awards are to recog-nize all the good environ-mental stewardship that is going on in our community in the form of habits or projects that exemplify one or more of the 3 Rs: Re-duce consumption of our resources, Re-use rather than use new resources, and Recycle.
In the “Individual /Household” category, Jill Reynolds is the recipient. Jill founded the Facebook group “Stettler Buy & Sell” in 2007 for Stettler area res-idents to be able to buy and sell items locally. It has grown exponentially and now has 4500 members. It has enabled thousands of items to be “Re-used” and has kept them out of our landfill. The many hours that Jill has spent in moni-toring this site are recog-nized with this award.
S te t t l e r IODE and Stettler Kinettes are Re-cycling Excellence Award co-recipients under the category of “Non-profit group/Institution” for their co-hosting of the annual Kinette/IODE Rummage Sale, Stettler’s premiere
Re-use event. This year marks the 70th anniversary of this sale, which began in 1943 before “Reduce, Re-use, Recycle” was even in vogue.
It was just common sense. They fill two are-nas with furniture, clothes, sports equipment, books, toys, Christmas decora-tions, house wares, appli-ances, and much more. The Rummage Sale usu-ally raises about $30,000 per year, which is put back into over 20 projects in our community. The thousands of volunteer hours that they put in keeps thousands of items out of our landfill, encourages “Re-use”, and funds projects that every-one in our community ben-efits from. The IODE had the vision to start this event and the Stettler Kinettes stepped up to the plate to help, now that the event is getting so large.
In the “Business” cat-egory, the Recycling Excel-lence Award was presented to Stettler ATCO Electric for their voluntary efforts to Reduce resource con-sumption in the design of their new service facility. The building has many ef-ficiency features to reduce HVAC energy consumption (automatic smart lights, very high efficiency heat-ing/cooling systems), a liv-ing, green roof to save en-ergy requirements for the conference rooms and cap-ture water, and a system to capture rain water off the roof and parking lot to re-use in their primary wash facilities. The entire facility is committed to reducing waste and their demand for
resources. It serves as an example of forward-think-ing environmental steward-ship.
Four other very worthy nominees were also re-ceived:
Superfluity, for their many volunteer hours en-abling Re-use of clothing and small items, the sale of which benefits many local projects;
Re-Glycol Ltd., a new, locally-owned, Stettler-based company that Recy-cles waste antifreeze into a top quality glycol product for use as either an anti-freeze or heat transfer fluid. To date, the company has saved over 500,000 litres of waste antifreeze from hav-ing to be disposed;
Ste t t ler Elementary School Grade 4 students and staff and The County of Stettler Housing Author-ity, both for their extensive in-house efforts to Recycle.
Beautification champion
Gord Lough was the recipient of the “Beautifi-cation Champion” award for going above and be-yond in his efforts to keep Stettler clean. Before or after work, he walks ev-ery day, each time going in a different direction. As he goes, he picks up litter, separating out recyclables, and takes them for proper disposal or recycling. He is an example of the differ-ence that a little extra effort makes to beautify our com-munity, which everyone then gets to enjoy.

After winning a Canadian championship in late July, Big Valley cowgirl Allie Hiemstra got a head-start on her back-to-school shopping.
As part of her goat-tying awards at the Canadian High School Fi-nals Rodeo, Hiemstra received a gift certificate from Cowboy Country Clothing store in Nanton, which hosted the four-province championship.
“I went in there right after and picked everything out,” she said. “I got a pair of jeans and a pair of cowboy boots.”
Hiemstra, who’s going into Grade 12 at William E. Hay Com-posite High School in Stettler, also won a shiny buckle, spurs and a $500 scholarship that she hopes to redeem at a U.S. college within a couple of years.
Hiemstra was on the road for
three weeks in July, competing in the National High School Finals Rodeo at Wyoming and, after a couple of days at home, the Cana-dian championship in Nanton.
She more than made up for “a tough go” stateside at Rock Springs, Wy., with a champion-ship performance at Nanton.
“It was nice,” said Hiemstra, who turns 17 in October.
“I won the first round, and then I placed third in the second round, and second in the third round. My times were all consistent.
“I was pretty happy — pretty excited. I just knew I had to tie my goat and tie it pretty fast. I did it.”
She believes it’s “a confidence-booster” as she begins the new high school season, which kicks off within two weeks in Stettler.
District 2 competitors are bound for the Stettler rodeo grounds for the junior high rodeo Aug. 23 and the high school rodeo Aug. 24 and Aug. 25.
It’s shaping up to be a quick sea-son-to-season turnaround for the likes of Hiemstra, who wouldn’t have it any other way.
“Rodeo has kind of always been my sport,” she said. “My Mom and Dad both rodeoed, so I kind of grew up around it.”
Hiemsta has been active in ro-deo since Grade 6 and competing on the high school circuit since Grade 9.
“I’ve been to Nationals in junior high rodeo, but this is my first time (going that far) in high school ro-deo,” she said. “In Grade 8, I went to Gallup, New Mexico.”
DELBURNE’S SHANE PETERS KING OF BULL-RIDING: At the Canadian championships last month in Nanton, the Albertans took the overall team title and Delburne cowboy Shane Peters was the bull-riding champion. Peters swings back into action Sat-urday in the Foothills Cowboys’ Association rodeo at Didsbury.

Stettler’s baseball sea-son is going into extra in-nings.
Les McTavish, a for-mer Stettler resident who runs the reputable Vaux-hall Academy of Baseball, plans to conduct a youth clinic Saturday and Sun-day at the two West Stettler Park diamonds.
“We’ll go for six hours each day,” said organizer Kurt Hoopfer. “We’re go-ing to pack in as much in-formation as the kids can soak up.”
There were still 10 spots available late last week, he said.
“We’re shooting for about 60 kids overall.”
The camp is for players aged seven to 16. They’ll be split into three age groups: 7 to 10, 11-13 and 14-16.
“It’s open to any boys, or girls who play baseball,” Hoopfer said.
The registration fee is $40 per participant.
McTavish plans to
donate equipment to the Stettler Minor Baseball As-sociation, Hoopfer said.
Local coaches will assist McTavish, the head coach and director of operations at Vauxhall.
McTavish grew up in Stettler and Slave Lake and went on to represent Alberta and play U.S. college base-ball. He has been a coach since 1998, and scouts for the Seattle Mariners.
For further information on the Stettler clinic, con-tact Hoopfer at 403-742-7861.SYDNEY POAPST AT WESTERNS: While most local teams have fi nished for the season, Stettler na-tive Sydney Poapst was still in the thick of the ac-tion last weekend. She was part of Team Alberta for the Western peewee girls’ championship at Medicine Hat. Alberta reached the fi -nal, but lost 13-3 to British Columbia. The Albertans had a 2-2 record overall.

Kurt Hoopfer topped 50 other golfers to win the Stettler Men’s Open cham-pionship Sunday at the Stettler golf course.
Hoopfer shot rounds of 68 and 69 for a 137 total.
The overall low-net champion was Vic Turn-bull, with a 127.
The weather and the course combined for ideal golf conditions, said Stettler Golf and Country Club or-ganizer Ernie Sheriff.

I want to express a deep appreciation to my family and friends for my birthday party on July 20th. It was really wonderful to have all my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren p r e s e n t . I t w a s a l s o n ice that some of the step-children came from Winnipeg. Thanks to all the people who came from long distances. I know that took special effort. Thanks also to those from Stettler who were there. It’s nice to know all these people still care.

Well, the garden is fl ourishing and this column will be short, I hope you are enjoying the summer produce. The S.T.A.R.S. Ride took place this past Sunday with great success, it was a beautiful day and the riders enjoyed the scenery once again in the hills surrounding the Red Deer River. The donations from the day totalled over $28,800 which is amazing once again. This will bring the total raised over the past 24 years to $522,000!
There was a successful raffl e and silent auction held and the winners of the raffl e were Mary Newton for 1st prize which was a beauti-ful quilt made by Joann Richmond, 2nd prize went to Nellie Chung of Drumheller and that was a $250 gift card from Freson Bros IGA, 3rd prize was the Alberta Prairie Steam Tour tickets and they were won by Carol Maisie, 4th prize was a luggage set and ladder from Sears in Drumheller and it was won by Maggie Ripley of Alix, 5th prize was a BBQ and Tool set and it was won by Glenn Stankievech of Tro-chu and last but not least, the pen-cil sketch of a horse and rider was won by Katherine Upton. The raffl e generated more than $1,600 toward the total donated to S.T.A.R.S .
All in all, a phenomenal one day event, my hats off to the organizers who pull this together every year.
The Garden Show will be next up on the events of Rumsey and Row-ley communities. It will be held on
Aug 28, with entries coming in on the evening of the 27th. Kept this in mind as you are collecting from your garden because they are really looking for new people to enter, ev-erything entered just enhances the show so help make it bigger and better, go fi nd that giant zucchini or 5 perfectly matched beans; maybe your fl owers are at their very best this year – bring them in – share their glory! Looking forward to seeing you there.
I hope everyone enjoyed their August long weekend, it was per-fect weather all the way through so whether you just got in a golf game or went away camping or holiday-ing, I hope it was fun.
Marilyn Trentham sent in a bit of info a while ago and I apologize for not getting it in sooner. Last June 18, the Morrin Lions held their wind-up meeting for the year at the Morrin Community Hall. It was a special night as we were honouring some volunteers in our community. A Melvin Jones Fel-lowship was presented to Mr. Andy Newman on this occasion. He is known as “Mr. Basketball” in our school and community. Terri-Lynn Dodd gave a very informative in-troduction outlining how Andy has supported and enhanced basket-ball as a fun activity for our youth for many years. Not only has he coached, organized tournaments and refereed games but he also has encouraged former players to be-come coaches themselves. Princi-pal Don Yavis of the Morrin School
was also in attendance at the sup-per to add his thanks on behalf of the school.
This past year the Morrin Li-ons gave out $12,800 in donations to our community and projects around the province and world. We held 2 pancake breakfasts plus a Breakfast with Santa, a diabetes awareness campaign and walk in the school gym, potluck supper and fun casino night. Fun and fel-lowship is our aim while helping the community. The Morrin Lions are always looking for new mem-bers so if you like to donate some time to better your community please think about joining us. Any amount of time that you can donate is appreciated. Please phone Dave at 403-823-9484 or Ron at 403-772-2215 for more information.
The Rumsey Garden Show is quickly approaching, its date is set for Wednesday, August 28. The Rumsey Community Library will also be running their Photo-to-Calendar Competition so if you have any photos you would like to contribute there is just some very simple rules to consider be-fore submitting them. The photo must be taken within the Rumsey/Rowley community from the past 3 years, you can submit only one photo per category, the categories will be the 12 months of the year, the photo needs to be 4X6 mount-ed on a white background with a 1 inch border. Keep this in mind as you snap away with your camera this summer.

It’s hard to believe summer is on its way out again and school starts up in less than a month away. Where did the time go? It just seems like school was let out for the summer, and now in stores we are looking at back to school specials, and getting the children ready to head back.
Time goes so quickly. The fi rst school bell for the 2013-14 school year will ring at 9 a.m. on Sept. 5.
So hopefully, all students and staff are looking forward to getting back to the books and to be able to see your friends everyday (week day) for the next up coming year.
Other activities will be start-ing up shortly to like: fl oor curl-ing, carpet bowling, quilting, the old-time dances. Keep your eyes peeled for these dates.
The Botha meeting will resume on Monday, Sept. 2, so be prepared for this event. All seniors are wel-come to attend these monthly meet-ings, which usually takes place on every fi rst Monday of each month. These meetings start out with a pot-
luck at 11:30 a.m. and the meet-ing will follow right after that. So please bring something with you to share for the pot-luck luncheon.
For more information, or dates, the Zumba and Booty Bounce and Cardivascular Hip Hop Classes will be starting up again. Call Cal-lie Turigan at 403-741-8308. These are great programs and they would love to see everyone come out.
Fall cleanup will be taking place shortly in many homes, so if you need to go to the Botha Transit Site, the hours are Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and every Satur-day from 8 a.m. to noon.
This coming Tuesday, Aug. 20, hopefully everyone can come out to the Botha Senior Centre at 7:15 p.m. for an exciting time at Bingo. Everyone is more than welcome to come out and try out your luck.
Make sure you stop by the Botha Senior Centre at 10 a.m. every Wednesday for a great visit with your friends and neighbours over a fresh, hot cup of coffee. They would love to see everyone join them there.
Church services have begun
again every Thursday at 7 p.m. for the month of August and Septem-ber. They would like to see you all come out and worship with them and hear Rev. Susan Bowyer’s ser-vice.
Don’t forget to mark on your calendars for the 28th of Septem-ber, for the Raise the Roof event happening that day. The Domino Band will be there entertaining the crowd that day, so it sounds like a fun day for everyone.
The Botha Committee is orga-nizing this fun event, so make sure you come out for a fun-fi lled day. If you would like to know more about the committee, or would like to be on the board, please contact Lorraine Hankins at 403-742-1155 or email her at [email protected].
Need to stop by the village of-fi ce, at all? If you do, please phone in fi rst, as they are running their summer hours for the remainder of this month. That way, you will make sure someone is in when you arrive at the door. Their phone number is 403-742- 5079. Thank-you for your co-operation.

Windows on the east end of Heritage place have recently been renewed with the help of Stan Gardener and crew as well as Shane Lang with his crane. All very much appreciated. And hats off to the faithful volunteers who worked casino for Heritage Society earlier this year. A note, Shane has been busy volun-teering as he also sprayed the evergreens at the cem-etery. The Gadsby Community Hall has been active with weeping tile going in around the building.

The village will be quiet for the next couple of weeks while the volunteers regroup for our next events.
The past weekend was very busy and all events well-attended, starting with a “Gourmet Pancake Breakfast Bar,” followed by the Bench Fair and Reptile Petting Zoo.
The Parent Council put together “Princess for a Day” and “Boys and Toys” both had 30+ children for each event participating.
And to close the day was the Drive In Movie in Wil-low Canyon and what a perfect evening for this. Those
who came early enjoyed hiking the coulees well after dark.
Thank-you to all the volunteers that helped put these events together and making them a success.
Birthday greeting go out to Beaudon Rider, Dwayne Norman, Brody Norman, Darren Saboe, Don Salmon, Seth Ewald, Alayna Longeagne, Elisha Hurren, Mike Mueller, Stephanie Siegrist, Carol MacNeil, Jared Boyson, Kelsey Rider, Lillian Norman, Mark Salmon, Joseph Seale, Sheri Tenney, Steven Dahl, Edna An-dres, Parker Schoettler-Ma and everyone else celebrat-ing this week.
Happy Birthday!

Marlene Wallace attended the 50th wedding anniversary celebration in Cal-gary for her aunt and uncle Ann and Paul Engelmann. Marlene was the fl ower girl of 50 years ago.
Congratulations to Tania Cimolai and Luke LaRose who were married last Sat-urday at their Endiang farm (the former Lorne and Marlene Wallace place). They held the reception and dance in the barn, which was transformed into a charming and rustic country setting. We wish this fi ne young couple all the best.

Congratulations to the Metis Hivernant Cultural Society on the success of their an-nual Rendezvous which took place here in Big Valley on the fi rst weekend of August. Visitors were given the opportunity to learn about Metis history and culture while ex-ploring the hunter’s camp and all the mar-velous displays.
During the three-day event, participants joined in the voyageur games, children’s crafts and games, and so much more. The storytelling circles were a big hit, while Saturday’s highlights included a parade, a great evening meal, and wonderful music. We would like to thank all the people who worked so hard to help make this event a success and look forward to next year’s Rendezvous.
With a roar of the bikes the CAVS (Ca-nadian Army Veterans Motorcycle Unit) rolled into Big Valley on Sunday, Aug. 4 to have lunch and visit with us at our Legion. It was a terrifi c honour for Big Valley and the Legion to say thanks to these veterans and friends for their service to our country. The CAVS still give and aid soldiers mak-ing the transition back to civilian life and to many charities both at home and abroad. For more information on this unit and some
good information Google CAV motorcycle unit.
We were blessed to have one of the orig-inal founding members of the CAV, Paul “Trapper” Cane give us a short speech on what it meant to be in a small rural Legion and all the history that surrounds it. Mr. Cane spent 23 years in the infantry and a lot of that as a member of the Airborne regi-ment. His military career ended when he was severely injured on a parachute jump. What this man went through is a testament to what he is made of and he has gone on to dedicate himself to helping others through the CAVS. Members of this unit include Generals Hillier and McKenzie to name a few.
A special thank-you to Todd Wright (Stettler CAV member) for arranging this visit and our biggest Legion thumbs up to Bill Smillie for his generous donation of the beef for the lunch. Thanks also to the all Villagers who came out to acknowledge these men and women.
The 10th annual Alberta Free-Mo model train extravaganza takes place at the Big Valley Agriplex this weekend, Aug. 16 through 18. This event, organized by the Calgary Free-Mo Club was, in 2007, the largest of its type in North America and has been a remarkable event ever since.

There’s been a few folks moving around in our lit-tle community. Ross and Dawn Elsasser have sold their house and a new fam-ily should be settled in be-fore school opens. Ross and Dawn have purchased the little house that the Stirlings lived in and plan to build a new home in the future. Raymond, Char-lene, Colter (5) and Jada (2) Stirling have set up a new place on the north end of main street. Dale and Man-dy Gonda and their three daughters, Sage (8), Casey (5) and Riley (3) are on the move, having purchased the Dick Creasey farm on the East edge of town. They are the 4th (and 5th) generation of the Creasey family to live there. Mandy’s great-grandparents, Wilf and Ada fi rst settled there prior to 1925. Dick and Ann now
make their home in Stettler.Congratulations to
Jody Anderson and Aileen Garvin who were married in a quiet ceremony in the Halkirk Community Church on Sunday, July 21. Family and friends gathered at the hall on Saturday, Aug. 3, to celebrate the occasion with a reception and dance. The newlyweds reside on a farm east of town.
Sympathy goes out to Joann Gonda and family on the passing of her niece, Amy Campbell.
Our community sends condolences to Doug and Louise Shaw and family on the passing of Doug Shaw Jr. on Wednesday in Red Deer. Services were set for Aug. 14 at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Catholic.
Rod and Darren An-derson, as well as Mark and Scott Dyki, with team “Brian’s boys,” were among the hundreds of bike
riders entered in the two-day, 200-km-plus Enbridge ride to conquer cancer out of Calgary on the weekend.
Congratulations guys on a job well done.
Visiting with John and Judy deMos this past week was Judy’s brother, David and her niece Sarah Tur-cotte from Ottawa. It was Sarah’s fi rst visit here and despite the bugs they both enjoyed spending time on the farm.
Congratulations go out to Scott and Emily Vock-eroth on the safe arrival of their second daughter, Lyra Mae weighing in at 8lbs and 20 inches. Lyra was born on the nineth of August in Fair-bannks Alaska and has a sister named Annika. Proud grandparents are Peggy and Terry Vockeroth.
Morgan Kent has been spending two weeks visiting with her aunt Lana and Ban Chiwood and their family in Saskatchewan.
