Hoping to make prog-ress on plans to upgrade the Stettler Recreation Centre this fall, the town is lobbying the County of Stettler for more funding.

“While 50 per cent of the SRC is used by county residents, there is no in-herent cost to keep the facility operating,” Mayor Dick Richards said during a town council meeting late last month.

Upgrades were dis-cussed as part of the town’s strategic plan update.

This spring, the county contributed $140.000 as part of a

grant of $250,000 from the new federal Commu-nity Infrastructure Im-provement Fund (CIIP) to upgrade the library and expand the parking lot.

Although the county hasn’t responded to fur-ther funding requests to continue the second phase of the SRC upgrade, town council wants to discuss the issue with the county.

“I hope they can come back to us as equal part-ners,” Richards said.

“We do so many good things together. What’s fair is to pay their fair share.”

While county coun-cil agrees that costs be shared, the reeve said it

wants to wait for an inde-pendent report about the county’s contributions to recreation before making any decisions.

“The bottom line is we want to be fair,” Reeve Wayne Nixon told the In-dependent.

While county residents frequently use the SRC fa-cilities, he said funding for such facilities is not high priority for taxpayers.

“As much as recreation is important, it is far less important to county tax-payers than roads, bridges and gravel,” Nixon said.

While he supports a user-pay system to sup-port recreation, the reeve said he and council are also committed to other facilities used by county residents, and that they’re financially feasible and supported, such as count-less community halls, arenas, sports fields, and seniors centres in Big Valley, Erskine, Donalda, Byemoor, Endiang, Botha, Gadsby and Red Willow.

Town and county coun-cils plan to further discuss the issue at an upcoming joint meeting.

County council also suggested that funding from the sale of the cur-rent Stettler and District Seniors’ Drop-in Centre downtown could be allo-cated to the SRC.

Coun. Leona Thoro-good, however, suggested that the seniors’ facil-ity could be designated as a centre for non-profit groups, as listed in the town’s strategic planning.

From Friday to Sunday, there will be helicopter rides from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., where anyone can go up fora ride to get an aerial view of the village and itsenvirons.

Town makes pitch

to county to partner

LES STULBERGIndependent reporter

As Clearview School Division continues to make administrative changes for the next school year, the school board has spoken out this week in hopes of easing concern among staff and community members.

Talk of a pilot project to amalgamate administration staff for the Stettler school complex caused a stir in the community and the Clearview board tried to clarify its position.

In a statement released Tuesday, the

trustees said, “We failed to communicate the intent of the pilot project clearly, and we collectively apologize for that failure of communication.

“The intent of the pilot was to analyze the potential benefi ts and implications of various pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 confi gurations to best meet the educational needs of students in Stettler and surrounding communities.”

In the same release, the board said it doesn’t plan to reconfi gure Stettler schools for the coming year.

“The 2013-14 school year will be one of analysis, consultation and planning for educational programming in Stettler,” the

news release read.But there will be at least some changes

at the Stettler complex.Sharon Fischer has been appointed

the principal of both Stettler Elementary School and Stettler Middle School for the 2013-14 school year.

She already had the middle school post. She also takes over the elementary school reins, with the departure of Denise Campbell.

Superintendent John Bailey said he doesn’t envision appreciable changes to the schools, as each would continue to operate individually, with their respective vice-principals still in place.

The board said that with the analysis of programming under review for the Stettler complex during the 2013-14 school year, it didn’t want to hire someone as principal for the elementary school when it might only be a one-year appointment.

The board is confi dent Fischer is a good fi t for the dual position.

“She is known to the community and brings a familiar face of consistency in leadership,” Bailey said.

“We are committed to continue to offer excellent support to our staff, parents and students, and will be adjusting administrative time in these two schools to offer that support.”

NEW HOME — Stettler Alliance Church gathered for its fi rst Sunday service in its new 40 Avenue location, the former First Baptist Church of Stettler. “We have anew lease on a new building in a new neighbourhood, with new opportunities to transform lives, communities and the world,” Stettler Alliance Church lead pastor Scott Whitford told about 150 people at the fi rst service.

RICHARD FROESEIndependent reporter

Facing provincial fund-ing cuts, Heartland Youth Centre gained strong com-munity support at its annual Awesome Auction last Sat-urday night at the Stettler Community Hall.

“We’re probably on track to reach last year’s total of about $90,000,” said Win-nie Bissett, the youth cen-tre’s executive-director for 24 years.

“We sold out all 300

tickets before we really ad-vertised and we received the most auction items ever.”

Businesses and the com-munity donated 220 items.

Currently with about 300 members for youth programs, HYC is growing in numbers and families. That’s refl ected in increased support, Bissett said.

“More and more kids are coming to the youth centre and more and more families are involved.

“People were also re-sponding to the funding cuts.”

Even many former youth centre patrons have now be-come strong supporters of the event.

“For me, the most spe-cial part of this is that more and more people who were youth at HYC, and are now adults, have become busi-nesspeople and active in the community and are now strong supporters of HYC,” Bissett said.

“As an example, a wom-an now in her 30s, who was in our teen group many years ago, volunteered to help us for one day.

“She just wanted to give back to the community.”

Bissett said HYC is proud to bring the Kids of Hope philosophy, which be-lieves that “all children are capable of success — no exceptions.”

Under the Big Brothers and Big Sisters programs, the Girls’ and Boys’ Club of Stettler and Area, HYC offers programs for after-school activities and men-toring.

The signs are up to redirect Stettler traffic during the installation of a major culvert in Red Willow Creek.

RICHARD FROESEIndependent reporter

Traffi c in Stettler has been rerouted the past week as work continues to install a new major culvert in Red Willow Creek.

The detours are expected to last about six weeks.The $793,000 project is funded through the provin-

cial government’s highway upgrade plan.Crews began work to construct a new 36-metre long

culvert at Red Willow Creek in Stettler, just north of 44 Avenue beside the police station, to replace infrastruc-ture that was installed in the late 1970s.

“Although this project will cause short-term pain in detours, the future benefi ts far outweigh the short-term inconvenience,” Stettler Mayor Dick Richards said.

“This is a continuation of the town and province’s in-vestment in our infrastructure.”

Scheduled from May 23 to July 7 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., work is slated to take place seven days a week, weather-permitting.

Cars and light trucks will take a minor detour in the middle of Stettler on Highway 56, but they’ll be able to make their way through town on local roads.

Heavy trucks with regular loads will take a designat-ed detour outside of town, which spokesmen say will be

clearly marked.“The new culvert, a 2.5 metre by 2.5 metre concrete

box, is needed because the original steel culvert has rust-ed and must be replaced,” said Donald Saunders, bridge manager for the central region with Alberta Infrastruc-ture.

“The concrete culvert is expected to last several years longer than the steel culvert, which was installed about 36 years ago.”

Workers will dig up the road, remove the existing cul-vert, replace it with a concrete culvert, and rebuild the road.

To stop the fl ow of the Red Willow Creek during the culvert replacement, a small, temporary dam will be built upstream. The dam will be removed when work is completed.

During construction, the existing road will be closed.Flag persons might be required at key times.Speed limits will be reduced to 50 km/h for local traf-

fi c in the town of Stettler, and speed limits on the truck detour will be posted.

Fines for speeding violations double when construc-tion workers are on the job.

After combing applications “from across Canada,” Clearview School Division announced it has hired Pe-ter Neale to fill the position of as-sociate superintendent, director of business and finance.

Neale worked for the Grande Prairie Public School District before accepting the Stettler position.

Neale has also worked for Camp-bell River School District, Peace River School Division and Grass-lands Regional Division No. 6.

Superintendent John Bailey said Neale comes to Clearview with ex-perience in managing a diverse port-folio and with a solid financial man-agement background.

“Peter’s experience, training and commitment to lifelong learning helped make him our choice for the position,” Bailey said.

Neale and his wife, Helene, have two sons — Matthew, 10, and Alex-andre, seven.

In a news release, Neale said he’s looking forward to the Clearview move.

“I am excited to be given the op-portunity to use my education and experiences to serve Clearview School Division in the vital role of

associate superintendent, business and finance,” he said.

“I look forward to working with the various professionals in the divi-sion to ensure all students have ac-cess to quality education, and keep the division in a good fiscal position at the same time.”

Bailey said Neale has held posi-tions of increasing responsibility in his time with school divisions, hold-ing executive-level responsibility for support operations, transportation,

facilities, technology and safety.“We are looking forward to Pe-

ter joining our team, beginning June 25,” Bailey said.

“We welcome him and his family to the Clearview family.”

The last day of work for outgoing associate superintendent Lewis Hill is June 24.

Hill and his wife, Dawn, leave for Vernon, B.C., where he has accepted a similar position with the school di-vision at Vernon, beginning Aug. 1.

PromotingStettlerin the tradition ofCarl Stettler

One of the catchphrases of our genera-tion is, “Yeah, but does it work?”

People have asked me if Christianity really works — if it lives up to its promis-es. I tell them that it does, but I’m always impressed when someone is put to the acid test and I see visible proof that God does keep His promises. I think Rick War-ren may serve as a recent example of this.

Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church, a multisite mega–church with an attendance of 20,000 peo-ple, located in Southern California.

Rick and his wife, Kay, began the church 30 years ago with a small Bible study comprised of people who weren’t attending any church. His claims about how Christianity works have been numer-ous and bold ... but why not?

Everything is coming up roses for Rick and Kay Warren — right? Well, not al-ways!

On April 5, 2013, the Warrens’ 27-year-old son, Matthew, after a long struggle with depression, took his own life with an unregistered gun.

Rick, his family and his church believe in God and in His goodness and provision; but does it work? I think perhaps Rick can best answer that question for us.

Understandably, the Warrens dropped out of sight for a while. Rick, requesting prayer from his friends and church family said, “No words can express the anguish and grief we feel right now.”

Later, Warren said that they would need some time away as they are, “physically and mentally drained.”

More recently, Rick came back to ad-dress his church. In an emotional 20-min-ute address, he stated, “I’ve been here 33

years and I’m going to be here a whole lot longer.”

He went on to say that, “spiritually, I’ve never been stronger … I’ve never been closer to the Lord, never had more confi dence in God, never been more com-forted, never felt more love from God, be-cause I’ve spent a lot of time with Him in these days.”

A long-term member of the church said, “It was really good to hear about his strength and faith in God, which is obvi-ously even stronger than it was before.”

Yeah … But does it work? ... well, it sounds to me like it does. “It” works be-cause HE works!

“This is what the Lord says ... Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have sum-moned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the riv-ers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fi re, you will not be burned; the fl ames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior ... because I love you ...” (Isaiah 43:1–4).

Pastor Ross Helgeton is senior pastorat Erskine Evangelical Free Church.

TIME CAPSULE

‘Does Christianityreally work? ....’

Ex-Stettler MLA dies in Vancouver

By David CraneIndependent columnist

Young Canadians, like young people around the world, are paying far too much of the cost of the global financial crisis, with high unemployment rates, many stuck in part-time or short-term contract jobs, low rates of pay and growing pressure to work as unpaid interns.

It’s not that hard today to find young Canadians who at the age of 30 have never had a full-time, regular job.

Not surprisingly, just more than 40 per cent of Cana-dians in their 20s are still living at home.

A recent Bank of Montreal report showed that Ca-nadians aged 20 to 24 are earning less than their coun-terparts in the same age group did in the late 1970s through early 1980s, while surveys indicate that the av-erage level of student debt is now running at $28,000, and typically will take up to 14 years to pay off.

To be sure, those with the right skills have an easier time.

But the real problem is that businesses simply are not hiring, or if they are, they might be bringing cheaper foreign workers to Canada on temporary work permits.

Over the past 12 months, the private sector in Can-ada has added just 10,000 net new jobs, according to Statistics Canada, compared to the public sector, which has hired 93,500 net new employees.

There are a number of factors hurting job prospects of young Canadians. One is an economy that isn’t growing fast enough to generate the needed level of new jobs.

One reason is Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s deter-mination to quickly eliminate the deficit, which means a lower economic growth rate. Another problem is a mismatch between the skills young Canadians have and the skills employers say they need — with employers reluctant to invest in training or apprenticeship pro-grams.

At the same time, there is a growing phenomenon of underemployment, which occurs when an individual’s skills exceed those needed for the job he or she is doing — think of a university graduate working in a coffee shop.

A new report from the International Labour Organi-zation — Global Employment Trends for Youth 2013: A Generation at Risk — warns that the queues for avail-able jobs are becoming “longer and longer” for many young people, forcing many to become less selective in the jobs they are prepared to accept, with many turning to part-time or temporary jobs.

With higher unemployment or underemployment, “valuable work experience is not acquired and profes-sional skills may erode,” the ILO warns, while “unem-ployment experiences early in a young person’s career are likely to result in wage scares that continue to de-press their employment and earnings prospects even decades later.”

In this sense, youth unemployment is “an unexpected tax on the current generation of youth” since “there is a price to be paid for entering the labour market during hard economic times.”

The over-qualification of young people for the jobs they end up doing has two other serious impacts.

One is that by taking up jobs they are overquali-fied to do, young people are crowding out other young people with lesser qualifications who would normally take those jobs, making it even harder for these young people to find employment.

The other negative impact, the ILO says, is that “to the extent that young people in employment are actu-ally overqualified for the jobs they are doing, society is losing their valuable skills and forfeiting stronger pro-ductivity growth than would have been achieved had these young people been employed at their appropriate level of employment.”

According to Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate among young people 15 to 24 was 14.5 per cent in April, virtually unchanged from a year earlier; the num-ber of Canadian youth with jobs actually fell by 19,000 between April and May of this year.

In fact, the unemployment rate for young Canadi-ans has showed no real improvement over the past 40 months. Compared to a year ago, there were 18,200 fewer young people employed last month, with a gain of just 2,000 full-time jobs over the past year and a loss of 20,100 part-time jobs.

While the issue of skills mismatch is a key issue that must be addressed, not much can be done overnight.

But we can delay balancing the budget for a couple of years to increase growth and jobs.

It’s urgent that we create more opportunity and hope for today’s young people who otherwise face a grim start in their working lives, with long-term consequenc-es.

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY Page A5Wednesday, June 5, 2013

The Canadian Food In-spection Agency (CFIA) has announced that it will be initiating a study into the definition of “local” food.

There’s a present label-ling regulation that states that local food is defined as being sold within 50 miles of where it’s grown or within a local jurisdic-tion.

The CFIA believes that definition is out of date and needs to be redefined. Firstly, one wonders why an agency that’s under pressure to deal with food-safety issues and budget cutbacks suddenly has the time and money to deal with an issue that has nothing to do with food safety.

They claim it’s part of labelling legislation that needs to be updated — that’s a rather lame excuse, considering few are really affected by the rules.

Besides, labelling any-thing “local” is voluntary, is impossible to confirm in most cases, and the regulations are unen-

forceable.One ponders then why

does the CFIA need to get involved, at all. I guess it keeps some bureaucrats busy.

The word local, like organic and sustainable, has become meaningless to most, as it’s universally used without the slightest concern that it might not describe what is being sold. And since there are basically no consequenc-es to falsely using those labels, vendors from giant grocery chains to small market gardeners, by ac-cident or design, use such labelling to further their marketing schemes.

It gets really absurd at farmers’ markets in big cities where the as-sumption by gullible city folks naively assumes that everything sold is or-ganic and local. Vendors, of course, are more than pleased to encourage that misconception.

It doesn’t seem to oc-cur to a lot of consumers that a lot of fruit and veg-etables sold at farmers’ markets can’t possibly be

local because of our very short growing season and winter.

In Alberta, many ven-dors overcome the sea-sonal production concern by claiming their fresh produce comes from B.C., which seems to presume they have a year-round growing season over there.

It’s all bogus, of course — most consum-ers wouldn’t know a B.C. apple from one from Cal-ifornia, nor would they know a B.C. strawberry from one from Mexico. A vendor’s old trick is to pile empty fruit boxes with B.C. labels in full sight of passing consum-ers.

Some vendors have re-sorted to certificates aton-

ing to where certain pro-duce comes from — that’s done with Taber corn for instance.

But again, there’s no way of knowing, being there is no realistic sci-entific test that can con-firm the origin of where a peach is grown. It’s all part of the trust that naive consumers want to have in the process.

In the recent CFIA study announcement, it was stated that in the in-terim, local would also be defined as anything produced within the prov-ince. That blows the 50-mile rule out of the water, of course.

To be fair, that rule has always discriminated against large provinces with a spread-out ag in-

dustry.Are vegetables grown

by a Hutterite Colony 150 miles away any worse than vegetables grown by local hobbyist a few miles out of town. But it opens a can of worms — where do you draw the line.

In a province that’s 1,000 miles long, that makes vegetables from Oregon as local as veg-etables from the Peace River district.

But there’s more to the local story and it’s mostly ideological and it bears a resemblance to what hap-pened to the “organic la-bel.”

There was a time when organic produce was con-sidered to be grown by local small farmers using basic production meth-ods. They were different from the crops produced by giant multi-national corporations in California — the so-called nefarious agribusiness.

Supporting the small grower was deemed to be striking a blow against those giant capitalist cor-porate interests. It was

assumed that those giant corporate farmers would never be able to grow their crops without chemicals.

How wrong that was — those same interests co-opted the organic movement by hijacking the certification process. Now, so-called organic crops and food are all grown by giant corporate operations or imported from China.

Having lost the organ-ic battle, ideologues saw “local” labelling as an-other way to strike back at evil big agri-business. That works to a point and during certain times of the year, at least here in Alberta.

I suspect more growers and retailers wanted to get on the “local label” band-wagon and want the label redefined for their own marketing purposes. The problem is that will make the label less exclusive, and much more competi-tive. In the end, that will put it in the same boat as an organic label — that’s fairly meaningless. One wonders what is next.

Proud to be locally owned and operated by Sylvie Tremblay.

Crazy Daze in Stettler has greater potential than just bargains downtown and a midway for a cou-ple of days.

With so many other Stettler events in a two-week period, they could all become under the ban-ner of one campaign.

Crazy Daze, by name, has likely run its course.

What really is crazy about the community cel-ebration?

From what I under-stand, it was established decades ago to primarily promote downtown busi-nesses and create “a fun and crazy” community spirit.

Now that “crazy” as-pect has virtually dimin-ished — been there, done that.

Under a new name, the major promotion could easily include a down-town shopping campaign with fun and games and entertainment, and fea-

ture other events such as the annual art walk, Heartland quilt show, Stettler show and shine with Stettler Car Club.

The event could in-corporate other activities and fundraisers held dur-ing the first two weeks of June.

One of those is the Re-lay for Life for Cancer, which happens during the middle of the month.

Instead of all the events having to promote themselves, wouldn’t it be better to package them all together to pro-mote Stettler’s commu-nity spirit and advertise the events throughout the a wider region and the province?

Communities across Canada have had those types of community-wide or region-wide promo-tions.

Many of those places have a theme to promote an aspect of the region.

When I was growing up in the Fraser Valley re-gion of British Columbia in the 1960s and 1970s, Chilliwack was known as the Green Heart of Al-berta. It annually hosted a two-week event, Coun-try Living Days, in May to promote the region’s farming and agricultural roots.

Some of those features could easily be imple-mented here in Stettler.

In the B.C. event, busi-nesses decorated their premises with the theme and top entries were awarded prizes. A major parade was a pillar event of the festival.

Local concert bands,

organizations, business-es, families with deep lo-cal roots and other resi-dents got right into the spirit and participated.

The event in Chilli-wack was totally differ-ent than the long-standing agricultural fair held later in August, which further promoted agriculture.

In Stettler, some of this agricultural flavour could be used for the Steel Wheel Stampede, though more people are likely to be in town dur-ing the middle of a week in June than on a Labour Day weekend. Labour Day weekend — the new date for the stampede — is often a time when people want to take ad-vantage of that last op-portunity to go camping or holidaying.

Regardless, it’s bet-ter to work together and promote each community event, rather than to work alone.

Recently, my office received cor-respondence with respect to what the actual costs of the above ground HVDC transmission lines being built in Alberta are. These lines, as most of you know, have had a significant impact on your monthly power bill.

Wildrose Environment and Utili-ties critic Joe Anglin has compared the costs of the Heartland transmis-sion line to an underground project that’s currently underway in other North American jurisdictions.

The concern was that Anglin, the Rimbey, Rocky Mountain House, Sundre MLA, had stated that the un-derground option would have been the lower-cost option. That was, in fact, not the case. He was showing that the Heartland line’s costs are out of line by comparison to a high-er cost option of burying the lines.

Anglin is simply making the com-parison of the Blackstone Group LP/Transmission Developers Inc. 65-mile HVDC underground/underwa-ter 500 kV transmission line in New York State versus Alberta’s aerial Heartland transmission line.

The underground Blackstone transmission line is called the Cham-plain/Hudson transmission line, and it’s estimated to cost $6.84 million

CDN per mile, versus the Heart-land’s $14.5-million CDN per mile.

The contradiction (or irony) is obvious to all industry experts. In theory, buried lines cost more, so why is the Heartland line almost double the cost of a buried line?

In June 2012, Transmission Fa-cilities Cost Monitoring Committee reported that the cost of the Heart-land transmission line has increased from $14.5 Million CDN to $15.5 million CDN per mile.

After meeting with various stake-holders last week, Anglin and Of-ficial Opposition Leader Danielle Smith have been told to expect the next Transmission Facilities Cost Monitoring Committee Report for 2013 to show costs will continue to rise.

The Alberta government has re-fused to address the issue of why those above-ground lines are cost-ing far more than buried lines would

cost, even though that defies logic.A study done by TransCanada has

confirmed that Albertans are paying two to three times what it costs to build transmission lines in other ju-risdictions.

As the Official Opposition, it’s the responsibility of the Wildrose to question those figures and to draw attention to the outrageous costs Albertans are paying to build those transmission lines. The cost of these lines is reflected in the ever-increas-ing bills consumers in Alberta are facing.

In past columns, I have addressed the fees and surcharges that account for the lion’s share of the total bot-tom line you see each and every month.

Those extra charges amount to 70 per cent of your current bill, regard-less of your actual usage.

The Wildrose Official Opposition is committed to holding the Alberta government to account for that un-necessary and rising expense.

Those expenses ultimately can be, and have been, the difference between people remaining in their homes and being unable to sustain themselves. It’s time somebody started answering for that.

The verdant countryside is looking beautiful, and with much-welcome rain on the weekend, the pastures, hayfields and crops should continue to prosper.

Folks will likely be busy mowing grass and swatting mosquitoes.

A few weeks ago, 34 members of

Eleanor Aaserud’s family gathered at the Hanna Lodge for a family celebra-tion. The multi-generation event, staged between Mother’s Day and Eleanor’s birthday, was co-ordinated to fit in with Kris and Lorraine Peterson’s visit from Hay River, N.W.T.

Eleanor will celebrate her 94th birth-day June 19. Congratulations on this milestone and best wishes for many more, Eleanor.

Ruthie’s Roost in Endiang had a sold-out crowd for its “Beef and Ballad-eer” night. From all reports, everyone enjoyed the roast-beef supper and the country music entertainment.

Women in the community honoured Delaine Green with a bridal shower Sat-urday afternoon at the Byemoor hall. She was showered with many beautiful gifts. Delaine and Jonathan Bennett will marry July 27 in Innisfail.

Kate Woelk and Sandy Gallagher, along with two other friends, travelled to Watrous, Sask., to spend time at the Manitou Beach spa. They returned home Monday.

A bridal shower is planned for Kris-tina Peters, bride-to-be of Justin Jones, on June 19 at 7 p.m. at the Byemoor

hall.Congratulations to Doris Schilling on

the arrival of her great-grandson, Oliver Eric Kramer, on May 29 in Calgary. He weighed eight pounds and six ounces. Congratulations to first-time parents Andrew and Erica Kramer and grand-parents Ewald and Rhonda Steinwand.

Congratulations to Chad and Kim Woelk on the birth of their daughter, Ja-zlyn Annika, on May 29 in Stettler. Ja-zlyn weighed six pounds and one ounce.

Congratulations also to grandmother Debbie Woelk and great-grandparents Dick and Joyce Moore.

Coincidentally, the two babies, both great-great-grandchildren of the late Harry and Bessie Walker, were born one minute apart.

Congratulations to Florence Storch,

a longtime resident of the Garden Plain district and now a resident of the Hanna Lodge, on her 100th birthday. The spe-cial milestone will be marked with an open house Sunday at the Hanna Senior Circle from 2 to 4:30 p.m.

Sympathy is extended to Carla and Steven Johnson on the passing of Car-la’s grandfather. A memorial service was held in Hanna on Sunday.

Several folks from the district took in the 97th annual Hand Hills Lake Stam-pede on the weekend. The long-running event is the oldest consecutively held stampede in Alberta.

Bill and Linda Smith participated in a Texas Longhorn cattle show and meet-ing in Hanna last Saturday. Their cattle garnered some ribbons in the show.

We are continually getting requests for copies of the Endiang history book. The latest came from a woman in Quebec, a descendent of the Kammerle family. If anyone has a copy they would be interested in selling, please call 403-579-2403.

Thought for the day — A man who can smile when something goes wrong has thought of someone to blame.

From financial support with transpor-tation, breakfast programs, bottle drives and community calendars to attendance at Christmas concerts, awards days, and all the other events the school holds through-out the year, students and staff are much appreciative.

Congratulations to the Big Valley School Grade 9 students who celebrated their grad-uation last Tuesday. The grads all looked fantastic in their graduation finery. While it’s sad to see them go, we wish them all the best of luck in the future.

Big Valley’s graduating class extends heartfelt thanks to Bill Smillie for the great meal. “We couldn’t have done it without you,” the students said.

Our community cel-ebrated the graduation of Halkirk’s six Grade 9 stu-dents last Wednesday eve-ning at the school.

The class of 2013 at Mother Teresa Catholic School is made up of Kate-lyn Dahmer, Haley Grice, Morgan Kent, Simon Mun-cy, Shayla Schilling and Paden Williams.

Parents, grandparents, siblings and friends began the evening with a pot-luck supper table overflowing with food. Eric Neilson welcomed the guests, Father Don said grace and Tiana Gamroth was emcee for the evening.

Mike Courtney presented each graduate with a scroll, Phil Dietz gave them with Bibles on behalf of the Stettler Knights of Colum-bus, while Charles Muncy, on behalf of the Halkirk Elks and the community, presented hoodies and pen-dants.

The grades 7 and 8 class provided the entertainment and coach Kevin Perry was the guest speaker.

The Grade 9 students delivered a slideshow and memories of their Halkirk school days.

Our best wishes go out to each graduate as they continue their education in

a new community.The grades 1 through

6 students placed sec-ond at the track meet held last Tuesday at Teresetta Catholic School in Castor. They competed against the Gus Wetter, Brownfield, Christ-King and Teresetta schools. Everyone received a ribbon. Congrats to all students.

One three-year-old cow/calf pair was put in to the competition and that was brought by Brett Holowath; he placed first at the club level. The grand champion female at the club level went to Brett Holowath, with reserve going to Jordan Ferguson.

Next up was the steers. Jordan Ferguson won grand champion steer over all the clubs. Quinn Nelson won second Intermediate grooming at interclub level; first in senior grooming went to Jordan Ferguson, and second senior grooming went to Mickey Johnson at the interclub level.

F i r s t i n j u n i o r showmanship went to Matthew Howard, with first in senior showmanship going to Lowell Nelson,

both at district level. Rate of gain was Quinn Nelson at a rate of 3.49 pounds per day for a final weigh-in of 1,403 pounds after the shrink rate three per cent was calculated in.

Q u i n n N e l s o n g o t second in intermediate club judging for the district. First in senior judging went to Garrett Holowath; second in senior judging was won by Micky Johnson.

The top pen of three went to the Rumsey club. The calves in that grouping were from the farms of Jordan Ferguson, Quinn Nelson and Tyler Ferguson. Jordan’s calf, after winning grand champion steer, went through the sale rink first at a weight of 1,417 pounds and sold for $4.70 a pound to Drumheller Chrysler.

The club is thankful for the support it received from buyers, awards sponsors, p a r e n t s , R u m s e y A g Society, Delia Ag Society for hosting the show and sale, and all the surrounding communities.

I have a small correction to make — the shower, not dance, for Derek and Claire will be held on Friday, June 21, at 7:30. The dance will come later (at the wedding in July).

We lost another member of our community this past week. Myrtle Tolliver passed away last Thursday just after the passing of her son, Dale. Her funeral was held this Tuesday at the Rumsey Community Hall.

This has been a difficult time for Howard and the extended family, so our prayers are with them.

The Morrin graduation is fast approaching. The date is set for June 28. The supper will be held at the Rumsey Hall, with the ceremonies to be held in Morrin that evening.

Our grads for this year are Matthew Kiemele, Matthew McNaughton, Tanner Couturier, T.J. Herd and Robert Sinclair from Morrin, and Clayton Steen from Stettler. And I have the feeling I’m missing someone, so let me know.

Congratulations to all of you and we wish you the best in your future plans.

E r s k i n e S c h o o l hosted its Grade 9 farewell last week in the gym.

All six Grade 9 students participated in the program and all junior high teachers t o o k p a r t i n t h e presentations to the students.

Brooklyn Peterson and Tim Gardner were the mistress and master of ceremonies. Clayton Page compiled the class predictions.

Jo rdan Boeh lke gave the tribute to the t eacher s , and Mrs. Faltin gave the response.

S h a n e B e r n a r d delivered the tribute to the parents, and his father, Gaetan Bernard, gave the response.

Gardner and Allyson Marshall presented the class history. The final class montage was put together by Marshall and Peterson.

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to Erskine’s Grade 9 graduates and best wishes at William E. Hay Composite High School.

ECS to Grade 3 students travel to Big Valley today for a track meet. The grades 4 to 7 students go

down to Big Valley on Thursday for the upper-elementary track meet.

A legacy dinner, hosted by the school council, will be held Thursday for the Grade 9 students.

It has become a tradition in Erskine for the past several years that the Grade 9s leave behind a legacy to the school.

They’re given the opportunity to choose and order a book, then they leave a signed message in the book, and the book goes to the Erskine library

for future students to check out.

A representative f r o m S t o l l e r y Children’s Hospital in Edmonton is coming to Erskine on Friday to receive a cheque from the school. It r e p r e s e n t s m o n e y raised by students as part of their Hank Boer mini marathon fun run last month.

They wish everyone a great summer, and hope to see everyone back in the fall.

Bingo evening happens again at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, at the Senior Centre. The jackpot has not been won for quite a while now, so make sure you come on out and try out your luck. Who knows you could be the next big winner. Bingo continues throughout the summer months, on the same day (every second Tuesday ) and at the same time. These are held at the Botha Senior Centre.

Sympathy goes out to the Bell family on the loss of Mr. Bell (Betty Bell’s husband), who passed away suddenly on May 25.

Church services continue at 9 a.m. every Sunday until the end of June. Come out and worship with them and hear Rev. Susan Bowyer.

We have had rain on and off all week, and apparently they are calling for the same this coming week, so hope-fully it turns out nice pretty soon and dries up some for the Grade 5 camp, which is coming up soon.

From what I heard, there were two exciting events that happened in the Botha Area this weekend. Friday evening there was fireworks spotted just north of Botha, then Satur-day afternoon a funnel cloud was spotted just east of Botha. Which never came down all the way, which is good, but nevertheless, it was still spotted.

With spring and going on summer, there is always clean up to do, so hear are the transfer station hours for our little village. Tuesdays from 1-5:30 p.m. and than again ev-ery Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

So if you have any garbage you need to get rid of, please bring it out to Botha Transfer Station at these times, thank you. Let us all keep Botha looking neat and clean.

The Community Transi-tions class experienced the Stettler Steam Train last week with a ride down to Big Valley and a visit to Jimmy Jock Board Walk. The students enjoyed all aspects of the trip im-mensely!

Our Grade 9 track and field students competed in their track meet in Red Deer on Monday. Con-gratulations to all of the athletes for representing William E. Hay well.

Mr. Siemens and Mr. Bayer’s Physic 20 students are heading to West Ed-monton Mall Galaxyland

to observe how physics occurs in everyday life.

A reminder again that the Cosmetology 1.2 stu-dents are having a fash-ion show to showcase their talents, and local businesses, on June 13 at 7 p.m. at the parish hall. Tickets are $5 and avail-able at the high school of-fice. Fashions from local businesses around Stettler will be highlighted, as will the skills of these very tal-ented young ladies.

As the school year winds down, the Fine Arts Board is working on its final event of the season.

On the evening of June 19 FAB is putting on its first annual Celebration of the Arts and Awards Night in the PAC.

Outstanding students from Band, Art, Drama, Dance, Photography and Videography will be rec-ognized for their contribu-tions to the arts at William E. Hay and the evening will include a number of performances and show-cases of student work.

On June 11, the Athlet-ic Board will host our an-nual Colour Night, which honours the achievements of our William E. Hay

student-athletes and cel-ebrates their accomplish-ments in the 2012-13 sea-son.

It’s hard to believe but there are just a few weeks left of classes. A reminder that the exam schedule is now posted online. We ask that parents do not book vacations during exam week.

The Grade 5 Library Legacy Lun-cheon will be held Friday, June 21, at SES. The annual event celebrates the conclusion of the elementary school education of our wonderful Grade 5s.

As a way of honouring and remem-bering the contributions that these students have made to our school, the school council sponsors an an-nual luncheon. This is our 20th legacy luncheon.

The school council purchases new books for the library, and students choose one of those, or an old favou-rite from the library shelves, in which to place their photograph and a dedi-cation bookplate.

The legacy luncheon is always a bittersweet event. We’re happy for the successes of our oldest group of stu-dents, but sad to see them move on to the middle school. We wish them all the very best.

Las Friday was jersey day at SES. The students and staff all enjoyed supporting some of their favourite sports teams.

A big congrats goes out to SES for being the school that collected the most pull-tabs for the 2012-13 campaign. All that pulling makes a big difference in the lives of our local families who use the Ronald McDon-ald House. SES would like to thank Mrs. Andersson and her Grade 5 class for all their help with organizing and keeping tabs on this program. Great work.

June is a busy month out on the track for our school. The kindergar-ten and Grade 1 track meet will be held on June 10, grades 2/3 on June

18, and grades 4/5 on June 20. All parents and family are welcome to come cheer!

The Grade 3 students were busy writing provincial achievement tests again Tuesday. We hope they all did very well.

The Grade 4 students went to Fort

Edmonton last week for their year-end trip. They enjoyed a guided tour of the fur-trading fort, made bannock, and created and raced travois. Many students also enjoyed a ride on the train and a puppet show at the old the-atre. Another favourite part of the trip was wandering through the 1920s’ midway. They had perfect weather and a great trip. Thanks to all parent helpers for making the day a success.

The Grade 5 students are gearing up and getting excited for Grade 5 camp. They’ll be gone June 11 to 14 and will enjoy horse riding, canoeing, campfires and lots of games and fun. Hopefully, the weather is warm and sunny for them.

Two men who scuffled in a melee outside a Stettler bar last October were sentenced in Stettler Provincial Court last week — with different results.

Daniel James Hunt, 33, of Stettler, was fined $500 for causing a disturbance outside Social Bo’s last Oct. 7 at about 2:30 a.m.

Other people were involved, as police charged six in connection with the fight.

“It sets a poor example,” Judge E. D. Riemer said.

Hunt was one of several people in a small crowd that became “somewhat unruly,” court learned.

He has also refrained from consuming alcohol since the incident, testimony revealed.

No one was injured in the incident, which required three Stettler RCMP officers to control.

Trevor James Gallant, 32, was given nine months’ probation for causing a disturbance in the same scuffle.

“This is not worthy of any mature adult,” Judge Riemer said.

Before entering the courtroom, Gallant apologized to the RCMP officer for his behaviour.

Several other people were sentenced in court:

Myles Lyndon McKay, 21, was fined $1,300 for impaired driving over the legal limit and suspended from driving for one year.

With a high reading of 200 milligrams, the judge came down hard.

“You represented a significant hazard to live and the safety of people on the road,” Judge Riemer said.

Robert Thomas Glaser, 32, was fined $115 for refusing to leave a bar when requested.

Thomas Edward Kiddey was fined $177 for driving 30 kilometres an hour over the posted speed, though he was recorded speeding 112 km/hour in a 70-km zone, after the charge was lowered just before trial.

Joseph Eugene Huraj was fined $57 for an improper glazed dark window on his vehicle.

With looming funding cuts from the provincial government, Stettler Re-gional Child Care Society has gained strong support from the community in re-cent weeks.

“We raised just under $1,000 from a hotdog sale last Friday,” director Briana Kleptke said.

“We’re just trying to raise awareness of our ser-vices and funding needs and we asked businesses around town to support us through donations. We raised enough so we can go on summer field trips with the school program for ages five to 12.”

Dozens of families use the society’s services.

“We serve about 150 families,” Kleptke said.

Stettler Regional Child Care Society operates Stettler Regional Child Care Centre, Leaps and Bounds Child Care, Stettler Family Day Homes and an after-school program for children ages five to 12,

In an effort to enable local children to attend summer camp, Tim Hortons hosts Camp Day today in Stettler.

All proceeds from coffee sales today will be designated for the Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation.

“Funds raised on Camp Day and throughout the year allow us to send kids to camp at no cost to them or their families,” said Kim DeVloo, supervisor of the local Tim Hortons restaurant.

“With your support, we can help make a difference in the lives of thousands of deserving children.”

Plenty of fun and entertainment are expected to create a festive day, with several dignitaries, including Town of Stettler Mayor Dick Richards at 11 a.m.

A silent auction will also be part of the day, while 50-50 tickets are already on sale.

Activities continue with a balloon pop and drive-thru window-washing.

Last year, the event raised $4,857 in Stettler and more than $11 million across Canada and the U.S..

Since 1974, more than 185,000 children have benefitted from the foundation. This year, it’s projected more than 16,000 kids will enjoy one of six camps located in Kanan-askis, Alta.; Parry Sound, Ont.; St. George, Ont.; Quyon, Que.; Tatamagouche, N.S.; and Campbellsville, Kentucky.

Stettler downtown will be decked out with delightful décor this Saturday with the sixth annual art walk in conjunction with the annual Heartland Quilters quilt show.

“We invite everyone to come out and enjoy the art and the quilts,” said downtown art gallery owner Andrea Hatch, who’s co-ordinating the event with the Town of Stettler.

“We expect to have up to 40 artists and a few musicians.”

Sidewalks on Main Street will be lined with local art on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., while many artists will also travel from throughout east-central Alberta.

About 100 quilts were displayed last year.The quilt show at Stettler Legion is set for Friday and

Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.During the quilt show, visitors are invited to vote for

the viewers’ choice, enter raffles and enjoy refreshments.This year’s art walk is expected to feature a variety of

work, including pottery, photography and painting, with 80 per cent of the works from the local area.

“We will have a young photographer, Ryan Ponich, who does fantastic photography, and a new artist in town, Melody Spencer, will show her works with iridescent colours,” Hatch said.

“They’re acrylic and kind of metallic and shiny.”Painters from the Stettler United Church group will

also showcase their creations.“There’s a lot of closet artists coming out of the

closet,” Hatch said.With a strong arts foundation in Stettler, she said

downtown is a perfect stage for such an art show.“When you put it out on the street, it makes the

community curious,” Hatch said.For more information on the art walk, or to participate,

phone Hatch at 403-742-5170.

A full-scale midway with 28 rides for all ages is set for the agricultural grounds next Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 to 10 p.m.

JUST DUCKY — Children ages six and under participate in “duck un-decorating” last Saturday at the fi fth annual Donalda Ranch Rodeo.

JOHN MACNEILIndependent editor

At home in Stettler last week for the zone meet, Dacia Gramlick knew she had just one shot at the pro-vincial high school track and fi eld championships this weekend in Calgary.

And she made the most of it.

Gramlick, a Grade 10 student at William E. Hay Composite High School, qualifi ed for the provincials with her silver-medal per-formance in the junior girls’ long jump at the Central Alberta zone meet.

In a classic fi nish, Gram-lick placed second only to Innisfail wunderkind Mack-enzie Ramsell, who broke a 15-year-old zone record with a jump of 5.33 metres.

Gramlick, who jumped 5.20 metres, came just shy of beating that old record (5.22m), which since 1998 had belonged to Chaundra Allard of Lindsay Thurber in Red Deer.

That morning event last Wednesday was the extent of Gramlick’s participa-tion in the zone meet, even though she had qualifi ed in multiple disciplines at the area championships the pre-vious week in Stettler.

As previously sched-uled, the gifted girl left the Stettler track early to head to the singing provincials in Edmonton, where she hit more high notes and earned a silver medal for one of musical-theatre perfor-mances.

“I left right after I was done long jump,” said Gramlick, a 100-metre spe-cialist who showed she’s no slouch in fi eld events, either.

“(Beforehand), I was a bit nervous, but I was ready. I was well-trained, so I was confi dent.”

Gramlick, 16, hadn’t previously seen Ramsell, “but after that, I heard she was national champion for long jump the past year …

and I had heard she won the 100 metres (in the zone meet).”

Facing such heady com-petition brought out the best in Gramlick, who expects to go up against more elite ath-letes Saturday at Foothills Athletic Park in Calgary.

“It made me strive for a better distance, just hop-ing that I could get there,” she said. “Knowing that she trains all year, and we have a short (high school) sea-son, so we didn’t get to train that often. But knowing I possibly could get there, it’s encouraging and gives you a new mindset.”

Gramlick, already an im-pact player with the senior girls’ high school basketball team, is also a track stand-out. She won four events at the area meet, but had to skip the 100 metres, triple jump and high jump at the zones.

“I’ve done a lot of hard work this year and it’s paid off,” said Gramlick, whose medal-winning song at the music provincials was in the up-tempo category.

“Last year, too.”She said that last week

was her fi rst scheduling confl ict between music and

track this season, and that she’d make the same deci-sion again.

She’s banking on more opportunities in the next couple of years to reach the provincials and compete in the 100 metres in interme-diate and senior.

For now, her focus is on Day 2 of this weekend’s two-day meet. She practised her long-jumping technique and approach during a prac-tice after-school Monday, working with coaches An-thony Jones and Luke Pe-ters.

“We’re doing it over again just to get your body used to it, and getting a mindset,” she said. “It takes a lot of mind to be able to do those things.

“It takes a lot of back and forth to get your mark, so that you’re just right on the board and get the best distance.”

She welcomed the tu-telage of Jones, who has a U.S. college track back-ground and coaches at the club level.

“Mr. Jones has been a great coach,” Gramlick said. “He’s got me going just that much faster and that much farther.”

Braden Deagle of William E. Hay Composite High School heads toward the long-jump pit during last week’s zone track and fi eld meet in Stettler. Deagle fi nished third in that intermediate boys’ event, but he qualifi ed for this weekend’s provincials with a silver-medal showing in the 200-metre race later on a rain-soaked afternoon.

JOHN MACNEILIndependent editor

Braden Deagle thought his best chance for a return to the provincials had come and gone last Wednesday at the zone high school track and fi eld meet in Stettler.

After narrowly missing a requisite top-two fi nish in the rain-soaked inter-mediate boys’ long jump, the Grade 11 student from William E. Hay Compos-ite High School bounced back to fi nish second in the 200-metre race and earn his ticket to the provincial meet this Friday at Calgary.

“I was a little surprised,” Deagle said. “I was very surprised, actually. But it went well.”

The 200 metres is a rela-tively new event for Deagle, who gave it a try — and won — just a week earlier at the area meet in Stettler.

“I’m really appreciat-ing Mr. (Anthony) Jones’ coaching, because he’s really pushing me,” said Deagle, 17. “He’s making me realize what I can do.”

On the morning of the area meet, Jones suggested

Deagle drop the high jump in favour of the 200, which proved to be one of four in-dividual events that Deagle won in that competition.

“I’m pretty happy that he made me do it (the 200),” Deagle said with a chuckle.

“He’s really focused on the actual technique of run-ning and the strategies of how to start off your race. He really explains and breaks it down, each part of the race, and gives you the technique of how to do it.”

Deagle not only “did it” last Wednesday on his home track, but he did so under trying circumstances. The 200-metre race was near the end of a soggy day that in-cluded a heavy hammering of afternoon rain.

“Yeah, that’s for sure,” said Deagle, who changed out of his wet gear between the long jump and the 200 metres.

“I was kind of just want-ing the race to be over, so I could be done with the day … and go home. I wasn’t really expecting much out of the race, so I was pretty surprised when I qualifi ed.”

“They’re students of the sport.”

That’s how track coach Anthony Jones describes Braden Deagle and Da-cia Gramlick — the two Stettler students bound for the provincial high school track and field championships this week-end in Calgary.

Although the high school track season is short and participation is limited in the Stettler re-gion, Jones believes he’s working with true athletes in Deagle and Gramlick,

among others.“The amount of train-

ing is very important,” said Jones, a former U.S. college runner.

“But with these ath-letes we have here in Stettler, these are natural athletes. They’re doing very, very well. It’s just a few technical aspects that we work on, show-ing them a few technical shifts in their running to help them to run naturally and not mechanically.”

Deagle (in the inter-mediate boys’ 200 me-tres) and Gramlick (in the junior girls’ long jump) each qualified for the provincials with second-

place finishes in the zone meet last week at Stettler. Both are students at Wil-liam E. Hay Composite High School.

“Dacia, like Braden and the other athletes that really do well, they are very malleable, or they’re like clay,” said Jones, a Stettler resident who ran track at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, Fla., a decade ago and rubbed shoulders with Olympic medallists and world champions.

“They absorb and they’re able to be shaped, when it comes to tech-nique, when it comes to form, and they really take

it in quickly. They adapt.“It’s kind of like a

dial on a radio, where you want to adjust the frequency until you get that right station that you want, without the static. So, working on their form, that’s the type of work that we do, always making ad-justments to their stride, their stride frequency, which people interpret as rapid foot movement, and a conscious awareness of how to move that, either a little quicker or to slow it down when necessary. The discipline of lifting their feet so that there’s full range of motion.”

Jones has embraced an invitation from William E. Hay athletic department guru Warren Aspenes to coach the Wildcats.

He said the Wildcats are a small but dedicated group, and he sees “great potential” in the likes of Deagle, Gramlick and Andrew Kim.

“There’s some won-derful aspects to working with these kids,” Jones said. “And because they’re so malleable, and they love the sport, and they study the sport, they’re becoming students of the sport.

“They go out and they look at the form and the techniques of some of the more professional athletes that are out there that they aspire to be like. They see what they’re doing is get-ting them closer to that form.”

This season, Jones and other Wildcat coaches have worked with the track athletes for the past six weeks.

“We began in early May,” Jones said. “It’s a very short time, compared to other athletes around the world that train all year-round.

“Even next door in Red Deer, I’ve been fortunate enough to be invited to as-sist with the Titans track team. They have storage facilities within the Colli-cutt Centre and they train year-round. It’s about 70 strong on that track team. We saw one of their ju-niors break two zone re-cords here (in Stettler).”

That athlete was Notre Dame’s Brayden Posy-luzny, who set standards in the junior boys’ 100 metres (10.96 seconds) and 200 metres (22.68).

‘Natural athletes’ compatible with Stettler coach

Continued from Page B1

Deagle’s time of 24.14 seconds was second only to Eckville’s Jonathon Allan, whose time was 23.71.

“He’s actually my cousin’s cousin, so I kind of know who he is,” Deagle said of Allan.

“My cousin told me that I was going to be racing against him (last) week, so I was a little nervous to go up against him. I really wanted to do well.

“That was only my second time ever running the 200.”Allan also won the 100-metre dash, in which Deagle

fi nished fourth and Andrew Kim of William E. Hay placed sixth. Allan’s time was 11.52, while Deagle ran the course in 11.65 and Kim checked in at 11.83. Between the two Stettler runners was Delburne’s Parker Fox, with an 11.74 clocking.

Before his family moved to Stettler last summer, Dea-gle went to the provincials last year as a long jumper rep-resenting Consort School. He almost qualifi ed again this year in the long jump, fi nishing third with a jump of 5.68 metres after a long rain delay.

“After I fi nished that, I didn’t really care very much, be-cause I’m already really busy the weekend of provincials, so I wasn’t too bummed out, but then I was placed for the 200, I was almost a little disappointed,” Deagle said with a laugh. “Because if I would have known I would qualify in that, I probably would have pushed that much harder in the long jump. But, oh well.”

The intermediate long-jump champion was Lindsay Thurber’s Clayton Wong, with a jump of 5.79 metres. Ian Vanderhoek of Central Alberta Christian was second with a 5.75 mark, just ahead of Deagle (5.68m).

“I was tied for second for quite a bit of it, and then after the rain came down I lost my marker,” he said. “I didn’t know where to start, and I was basically just guessing for the last three jumps, and the fi rst two were toe-overs, so I fi nally made the last one count. But the fi rst two were pretty good jumps, so I was a little disappointed, ’cause if I would have known where to start, I probably could have placed.”

In the triple jump, Deagle fi nished fourth with a jump of 11.70 metres. Wong’s winning mark was 12.36.

This weekend, Deagle caps his exceptional fi rst year of Wildcat athletics. He excelled in volleyball and basketball and now has reached the provincials in track. The 200-me-tre heats are set for Friday morning.

It’s an extra-busy weekend for Deagle, who’s also jug-gling training for his summer job and a Camrose soccer tournament with the Stettler under-18 team.

In its maiden season, the Stettler midget baseball team took both ends of a Sunday doubleheader at home against Olds.

After a rain delay between games, Stettler won 15-3after taking the opener 10-2.

The fi rst game was called in the top of the seventhinning because of rain.

Starter Ben Bauman and closer Aaron Lee pitched for Stettler in Game 1.

“A big defensive play by outfi elder Jake Williams kept Stettler ahead,” said Jeff Lee, who’s coaching Stettler along with Darren Bauman and Brian Laughlin.

After the rain delay, and fi eld maintenance, the show went on and Stettler rebounded from an early defi cit to post another lopsided win. Scott Ternes, Tim Chater and Stefan du Toit, respectively, pitched for Stettler.

“A big defensive play by left-handed rookie fi rst base-man, Aeroll Acera, rallied the Stettler boys back from a 2-0 defi cit,” said coach Lee.

“The Olds’ defence could not keep up with Stettler’s strong hitting and base-running.”

Up next for Stettler — 5-1 on the young season — is a June 12 home game.

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY Wednesday, June 5, 2013Page B4

LORI WELBOURNEIndependent columnist

David Branigan started off the new year in the worst possible way: with the po-lice at his door telling him his 22-year-old son, Joshua, had fallen off a cliff and was now in the hospital in criti-cal condition.

“Before the offi cer even fi nished his sentence, I was running down the road in a panic,” he said.

After arriving at the hospital, he was told he couldn’t see Josh because they were working on him. Based on the information he was given, he went down in a heap, sobbing in anguish, terrifi ed his fi rstborn child wouldn’t survive the day.

He waited frantically for hours, praying his son would make it through. Josh remained in a coma for the next 24 days as his fam-ily and friends clung to the possibility of a miracle.

If it hadn’t been for Joel and Wendy Black walk-ing their dogs earlier that morning, those three weeks would have been spent grieving his tragic death, rather than praying for his survival.

Josh had been walking home in the dark after cel-ebrating New Year’s Eve when he was caught up in a mudslide off the eroded Kye Bay Cliffs in Comox Valley and fell over 100 feet to the rocks below.

The Blacks, who had de-cided to go on a longer walk than usual, found him laying unconscious and all twisted up after their dogs picked up Josh’s scent. His breath-ing had slowed down close to zero since his body had been laying in the freezing cold for up to eight hours. Battling hypothermia, he was rushed to the Victoria General Hospital in a heli-copter where his massive contusion and broken wrist

were treated.Initial assessments indi-

cated that his brain injury was so severe that he may never come out of his coma, and if he did, he could be unrecognizable.

Not able to keep up with the amount of people asking how Josh was doing, David created a Facebook page called the JHB Recovery where he could share Josh’s journey and keep people in-formed.

“His writing was so emo-tional and raw, my heart was completely invested,” my Facebook friend Leisa Howell told me about her old acquaintance. “He quit his job in Comox and put his life on hold to be by his son’s side in Victoria. And then he shared their grip-ping ordeal with us on Face-book with such honesty and courage, calling in prayer circles and describing a fa-ther’s guilt. He gave other people, who have felt the

same, a voice.”Twenty-four days after

the accident, Josh thrilled his family, friends and the thousands that were fol-lowing online by coming out of his coma, and was soon reminiscing about the Iristani Princess, a big, beautiful boat in Kelowna he once lived and worked

on with his dad in 2006 and 2007.

From that recollection, and his wish to be on it again, Leisa and Captain Kirk — David’s previous partner on the boat — came up with the idea to have a Father’s Day fundraiser for Josh.

“After 125 days in the

hospital, this horrendous accident has put a huge fi -nancial strain on the fam-ily,” Leisa said.

“Josh now lives with a life-altering brain injury and since this is Brain In-jury Awareness Month, we thought it was the perfect timing to help them some-how.”

Second chance at life puts it into perspective

Beware the open mike. On Tuesday Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi summoned senior politicians of all parties to discuss Ethiopia’s plan to dam the main tribu-tary of the Nile river. One proposed sending special forc-es to destroy the dam. Another thought buzzing the dam site with jet fi ghters might scare the Ethiopians off.

Ayman Nour, a former presidential candidate and a more sophisticated player, suggested that Egypt support rebel groups fi ghting the Ethiopian regime. “This could yield results in the diplomatic arena,” he said. And none of them realised that their discussion was being broadcast live by Egyptian state television.

All students of geopolitics are familiar with the leg-end that Egypt has privately warned the governments up-stream on the Nile that it will start bombing if they build dams on the river without its permission. The truth of that story is about to be tested.

Last month Ethiopia started diverting the waters of the Blue Nile in order to build the Great Ethiopian Renais-sance Dam, a $4.7-billion, 6,000-megawatt hydroelectric project that is the centrepiece of the country’s plan to be-come Africa’s largest exporter of power. Egypt instantly objected, for it depends utterly on irrigation water from the Nile to grow its food.

Even now, Egypt must import almost 40 per cent of its food, and the population is still growing fast. If the amount of water coming down the Nile diminishes ap-preciably, Egyptians will go hungry.

A treaty signed in 1929 gave 90 percent of the Nile’s water to the downstream countries, Egypt and Sudan, even though all the water in the river starts as rain in the upstream countries: Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. That caused no problems at the time, but now Egypt is using all of its share of the water – and the upstream countries are starting to use the water for irrigation, too.

The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is the fi rst real test of Egypt’s tolerance for upstream dam-building. The reservoir will take 63 million cubic metres of water to fi ll; Egypt’s annual share of the Nile’s water is 55.5 mil-lion cubic metres. So even if Ethiopia takes fi ve years to fi ll the reservoir, that will mean 20 per cent cuts in the water Egypt receives from the Nile for fi ve years. And even after that there will be a large annual loss to evapo-ration.

The dam that was getting the Egyptian politicians worked up is just the start. Ethiopia plans to spend a to-tal of $12 billion on dams on the Blue Nile for electric-ity and irrigation, and Uganda is negotiating with China for fi nancing for a 600-megawatt dam on the White Nile. More dams and irrigation projects will follow – and the upstream states are in no mood to let Egypt exercise its veto under the 1929 treaty.

That treaty was imposed when all the countries in-volved except Ethiopia were under British rule, and it refl ected Britain’s big investment in Egypt. In 2010 the upstream countries signed a Cooperative Framework Agreement to seek more water from the River Nile, ef-fectively rejecting the colonial-era treaty and demanding that Egypt relinquish its veto and accept a lower water quota.

That’s not going to happen. Mohammed Allam, Egypt’s minister of water resources under President Hosni Muba-rak when the upstream states signed their agreement three years ago, warned that “Egypt reserves the right to take whatever course it sees suitable to safeguard its share.” The post-revolutionary Egyptian government cannot af-ford to be less fi rm in defending Egypt’s interests.

The issue will probably be kicked down the road for a couple of years, because the Great Ethiopian Renais-sance Dam will not be completed until 2015 at the earli-est. But there is big trouble for Egypt (and Sudan) further down the road.

By 2025, a dozen years from now, Egypt will be try-ing to feed 96 million people, which would be very hard even with its existing giant’s share of the Nile’s water and all its current food imports. The countries that signed the Cooperative Framework Agreement will have 300 million people, so by then they will also be extracting very large amounts of water from the Nile Basin for irrigation.

Without that water, Egypt’s only options are beggar-ing itself with massive food imports (until the foreign ex-change runs out), or famine. Unless, of course, it decides on war – but its options are not very good on that front, either.

Not only are the upstream countries a very long way from Egypt (the Nile is the world’s longest river), but they will have strong support from China, which is fi nancing most of the dams they are now building or planning.

Egypt, by contrast, has repudiated its former American ally, and may fi nd that the US is reluctant to re-engage even if the government in Cairo can overcome its own distaste for Washington. Why would the United States want a confrontation with China over Egypt?

So there probably won’t be a war. And Egypt will probably face an apocalyptic food shortage in 10 or 15 years.

FAIR DEAL — Plenty of bargains were on sale at the Stettler United Church spring fair last Saturday. Checking out the deals (from left) are Olivia Mack, Vivean Mack, Brooklyn Landry, Nicole Landry and London Landry.

WILLIAMSJoseph FranklinJoseph (Joe) Williams passed away on Saturday, June 1, 2013 at the age of 95 years. Born in Hughendon Alberta on July 27, 1917 to Lewis and Eula Williams, he was the second of five children. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister Fern and brother Jack. His passing leaves a void in the hearts and lives of his children, grandchildren and their families - sons, Terry, Jack

(Deborah), and Joe (Debbie), as well as daughters Mary Jo Gerlach (David), Fern Decaire (Michael), Selena Pannell (Duane), Mavie Williams (Joe Milne), Carol Morton (Ardel), Shannon Stratton (Paul Cyr), and Charlene Michelko (Ben). Also mourning his loss are his sisters Theda Farrell of Victoria, and Lois Swan (Wilbert) of Edmonton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Joe left the farm at age 18 to join the army where he was assigned duties across the country with the military police. After his discharge, he spent many more years in law enforcement with police services in Ontario, British Columbia, and with Alberta Fish & Wildlife. Always an avid hunter, sportsman and accomplished horseman, his retirement from the Fish and Wildlife Department gave him the opportunity to breed and raise horses, successfully participating in horse shows, gymkhanas, and horse racing. Joe continued with this when he moved to the Fenn area south east of Stettler in the early 70s, eventually giving up the last of his horses and moving into Erskine in 1995. Here began a whole new phase of his life, enjoying his large well kept yard , and the many birds that took up residence every summer in the numerous birdhouses he set up around his property. He left Erskine in 2009, but for many years before that was a well known sight around Stettler in his trademark cowboy hat driving his silver Toyota truck. He could be found most every morning at 7am sharp at the A&W with a coffee, bacon & egger and Edmonton Sun. We will celebrate our dear Dad and his remarkable life on Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - Day Saints in Stettler, Alberta at 1:00 P.M. All wishing to remember and honor Joe Williams are welcome. The interment in the Bulwark Cemetery will follow the reception. As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Joe, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Services who have been entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements. 403.742.3315 Condolences can be forwarded to the family by visiting our website at www.brennenfuneralhome.com

1. No: 13032 Legal Description: NE 27-37-19 W4 Rural Address: 37442 Rge Rd 19-2 Applicant/Owner: Darcy & Kelly Klassen Proposed Development: Detached Dwelling

2. No: 13036 Legal Description: Lot 1, Block 1, Plan 0264569 Part of SW 22-38-19 W4 Rural Address: 38325 Rge Rd 19-3 Applicant/Owner: Ken & Fern Larson Proposed Development: Addition (144 ft2) to Manufactured Home

3. No: 13037 Legal Description: Lot 5, Block 1, Plan 0620307 (Buffalo View Estates) Rural Address: 210, 40327 Hwy. 835 Applicant/Owner: Downie Landholdings Inc. Proposed Development: Ancillary Building (480 ft2)

Jacinta Donovan, Development Officer

Proposed Bylaw 1480-12 – Amend Municipal Development Plan Notice is hereby given that the County of Stettler No. 6 Council has given first reading to Bylaw 1480-12 providing for the amendment of Bylaw 1414-09, the County of Stettler No. 6 Municipal Development Plan pursuant to Section 632 of the Municipal Government Act. The proposed amendment to the Municipal Development Plan provides for the following matters:1. Increases the density in the Agricultural District from two private titles per quarter

section to three private titles per quarter section. This means that each quarter section in the County could have two parcels subdivided out of the remainder of the quarter section while all three titles remain in the Agricultural District (rezoning is not required).

2. Changes the definition of a farmstead subdivision so that the setback distances required for private sewage disposal systems from property boundaries are not included. For the additional land required to include the setback distances the applicant would have to contribute $1,000 per acre to the Rural Development Fund. If two additional acres and thus $2,000 are required to include the setback distances then this arrangement is more favourable than the existing, where the applicant would have to pay $5,000 to include the setback distances. It also preserves more cropland and pasture.

3. Aligns the policies relevant to Confined Feeding Operations with the Agricultural Operation Practices Act.

4. Deems any subdivision that proposes the fourth and additional private titles out of a quarter section as a multi-lot subdivision that must follow the rules for multi-lot subdivision, e.g. must be rezoned and must prepare an area structure plan. Certain exceptions are provided to this requirement under specific circumstances.

5. Requires that a multi-lot subdivision must create at least five new private titles. Certain exceptions are provided to this requirement, to allow less than five new private titles under specific circumstances.

A copy of the proposed Bylaw may be examined at the County of Stettler No. 6 Administration Building at 6602-44 Ave, Stettler, Monday through Friday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. It is also available online (www.stettlercounty.ca).The Council of the County of Stettler will hold a public hearing on June 12, 2013 at 1:00 pm or as soon as possible thereafter in the Council Chambers at the County Administration Building to consider representations on the proposed bylaw. If you wish to comment on the proposed bylaw, please do so in writing to the Planning and Development Department by June 5, 2013 or make a verbal presentation at the public hearing. Should you require additional information, please contact the Planning and Development Department at 403-742-4441.

Proposed Bylaw 1481-12 – Amend Bylaw 1443-10 (Land Use Bylaw)Notice is hereby given that the County of Stettler No. 6 Council has given first reading to Bylaw 1481-12 providing for the amendment of Bylaw 1443-10, the County of Stettler No. 6 Land Use Bylaw pursuant to Section 639 of the Municipal Government Act. The proposed amendment to the Land Use Bylaw provides for the following matters:1. Clarifying wording in a number of Land Use and Building Definitions and

Interpretive Definitions.2. Clarifying the intent with restrictions on the storage and/or use of Recreational

Vehicles as dwelling units generally and also specifically in the Resort Residential District and the Resort Residential – Communally Serviced District.

3. Incorporating regulations relative to abandoned oil and gas wells pursuant to Alberta Regulation 43/2002 the Subdivision and Development Regulation under the Municipal Government Act.

4. Providing for a variance to the rear and side yard setback in excess of 25% under special circumstances. This is followed up in the Fee Schedule Bylaw with an increase in the application fee for such a variance.

5. Requiring, when a person applies for a building permit under the Safety Codes Act for a structure for which the Development Authority has issued a development permit, that the person must submit a copy of the building permit to the Development Officer to ensure compliance.

6. Allowing for the development of a Secondary Suite in a detached Ancillary Building in those districts where Secondary Suite is a listed use.

7. Moving the ground floor area restrictions on Ancillary Building out of the use tables and into the regulations so that the Development Authority may consider variances.

8. Clarifying that the issuance of a development permit does not absolve the applicant from the responsibility to comply with any provincial or federal legislation or with another bylaw of the County.

9. Updating regulations relative to excavation, grading, altering overland drainage, surface mineral extraction, construction site preparation and removal of topsoil.

10. Increasing the maximum height of a fence in a front yard from three feet to six feet, subject to corner lot restrictions.

11. Allowing that a manufactured home older than ten years may be placed away from other yard sites provided that it shall be a discretionary use.

12. Providing for Recreational Vehicle to be used as a dwelling unit in the Agricultural District and the Country Residence Agricultural District. The use shall be a permitted use on a parcel of at least 80 acres and a discretionary use on a parcel less than 80 acres. The Recreational Vehicle must be connected to a certified sewage disposal system.

13. Rezoning a number of parcels that are owned by the Town of Stettler, various Villages, the County, provincial government agencies and the Crown and are used for public purposes from their current districts (Agricultural) to the Public Services District.

14. Rezoning PT NE 30-38-19 W4M (8.1 acres) and Lot 2, Block 4, Plan 8621378 (4.9 acres) from the Agricultural District to the Country Residence Agricultural District in order to bring these two lots into the same zoning district as the other adjacent properties along this section of Range Road 19-5.

By Susan ZielinskiBlack Press

Health-care staff at Extendicare Michener Hill in Red Deer will hold a strike vote on June 19.

Alberta Union of Provincial Employees applied for a strike vote with the Alberta Labour Relations Board on May 31 on behalf of 1,200 seniors care staff at eight Extendicare sites province-wide following the rejection of the majority of a mediator’s recommendations for settlement.

Strike votes will be held between June 17 and 26.

“We expect the workers will strongly speak out against the type of bargaining that they are experiencing with their contract,” AUPE negotiator Kevin Davediuk said on Tuesday.

The union says Extendicare is pushing for net earnings rollbacks, drastic reductions to sick time that would force staff to work sick, which would be hazardous to both staff and residents, and the lowest number of named holidays in any health-care agreement in Alberta.

In a press release, AUPE president Guy Smith said what Extendicare wants staff to accept is dangerous to the quality of care residents need and deserve.

“Extendicare implies a lack of funding from Alberta Health Services is dictating their financial position to not compensate caregivers properly, yet they refuse to provide proof this is the case,” Smith said.

“These types of tactics detract from care and are harmful to our working relationship with the employer.”

Extendicare Michener Hill has 300 to 325 AUPE members who include licensed practical nurses, health care aids, therapy support staff, maintenance workers, and food service staff — basically all staff except for registered nurses.

Red Deer workers have been without a contract since Dec. 31.

It is the first time all eight Extendicare s i tes in Athabasca, Mayerthorpe, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary and Lethbridge have gone to bargaining together.

“The size of this dispute is massive. We’re looking at about 1,000 beds across the province, it’s just under 10 per cent of all the long-term care beds,” Davediuk said.

If workers vote to strike they must give 72 hours notice to their employer.

Officials from Extendicare were unavailable to comment.
