As thousands gathered across the nation to mark Remembrance Day on Monday, the Stettler community fi lled the Stettler Performing Arts Centre to capacity to remember and honour the men and women who have served this country in war and peace-keeping missions.
Notable and refreshing was the fact that the audience was comprised of multi-generation families, young and old alike, from babies in arms right up to the most senior citizens.
Each year, of course, the number of veterans in attendance dwindles slightly.
Stettler lost one of its most celebrated war heroes last January with the death of Jack Chapman.
Speakers at Monday’s service paid tribute to the late Chapman for his service and his devotion to the Stettler branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
Lest we forget, the traditional two-hour service helped keep the memory alive of those who served in the great wars and peace-keeping efforts.
Some of them made the ultimate sacrifi ce for their country.
A key message delivered on Remembrance Day was that the freedoms we enjoy today should not be taken for granted, and that “a huge debt of gratitude” is owed to those who served to protect those freedoms.
In her invocation address, Rev. Carolyn Langford praised those who bravely served.
“We remember those who died and those who returned wounded — in body, mind and spirit,” Langford said.
“We give thanks for their sacrifi ces.”After the service at the Performing Arts Centre,
the Legion colour guard and members of the RCMP detachments marched to Sharpe’s Memorial Park to lay wreaths at the memorial cenotaph on a cool but sunny November day.

Stettler ‘gives thanks for sacrifi ces’

Marvin and Shelly Pot-ter of Stettler have been bravely dealing with a health crisis on their own for the past few years.
Marvin has been on the waiting list for a lung trans-plant for more than a year. On Oct. 26, he received a double-lung transplant by a team of surgeons in a nine-hour surgery at the Univer-sity of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton.
The family is elated at Marvin’s new lease on life.
“I can’t describe how unbelievable this is,” Shelly said of the life-giving op-eration.
“It’s defi nitely a mira-cle.”
Shelly said she now realizes how important it is for people to sign their organ-donor cards.
“One life can save seven or eight lives,” she said.
“Some good can come from something so tragic.”
The “miracle” has not come without costs.
“It has been emotionally, physically and fi nancially draining,” Shelly said.
“It’s been a long grind.”Marvin, 67, has been
unable to work for the past two years because of complications of emphy-sema and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The couple has drawn down their savings
“to get by,” but the costs are still coming in.
To try to ease the fi nan-cial burden, the Stettler FCSS is co-ordinating a benefi t for the Potters where donations can be made to help the Potters through a diffi cult time.
“We have been watch-ing this journey and see
the hardships stressful times like this presents,” said FCSS director Wendy Rhyason.
Shelly is employed at the Stettler FCSS offi ce.
“Shelly gives so much of herself to help others,” Rhyason said. “She is such a caring and giving person.
“Now is a chance for the
community to help back, in the Potters’ time of need. We don’t want to see them lose everything they have worked for.”
Rhyason said Shelly had “no clue” that Marvin’s health crisis would cost so much.
Before qualifying for the transplant, Marvin had
to spend six weeks in Ed-monton for physio prepa-ration in May and June of this year.
Marvin was removed from intensive care last Thursday, but remains in hospital. He’s expected to begin a rehab program soon.
The rehab program in-
volves sessions every day for the next three months.
Shelly plans to stay in Edmonton with Marvin during rehab. Accommoda-tions near the hospital cost a minimum of $2,000 per month.
Medication costs are high after such a procedure. Shelly said Marvin is on 25 prescription drugs, with the two most expensive costing $3,000 per month.
She said even with health benefi ts, their cost will still be $1,800 per month on those two drugs, and she’s uncertain how much her benefi t plan will cover on the other medications.
Luckily, the province provides the anti-rejection drugs.
In addition to the medi-cations, pieces of medical equipment are also required for testing blood pressure and temperature, as well as a “spirometer,” a device that when blown into tests lung-performance.
Marvin will require medication and testing for the rest of his life to moni-tor organ rejection and in-fection, Shelly said.
Rhyason said small towns like Stettler are car-ing communities and she expects that when the com-munity learns of the plight of the Potters, they will re-spond with help.
Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so at the Stettler FCSS offi ce on main street. Cheques can be made payable to the Stettler Community Ser-vice Centre and charitable-donation tax receipts are slated to be issued by the end of the year.

A GREEN TIP: “Keep foor waste out of our landfi ll”
No one can do everything.Everyone can do something.
Sponsored by the
Heartland Beautifi cation Committee
Many people think of food waste as a benign substance. It rots down in the landfi ll
anyway, so no problem, right? Wrong! For food to compost properly, it needs
light and air. In the landfi ll, it has neither. Instead, food devoid of light and air produces methane
gas, which contributes to global warming. Don’t throw food away. Use your leftovers in
tomorrow’s meal. Serve small amounts of food, then offer seconds. Some food waste is
unavoidable, so why not set up a compost bin?

After two months of demolition, work is set to begin to renovate the Stettler Recreation Centre and create a new seniors’ centre and an expand-ed library.
“Structural steel is scheduled to arrive in two weeks, and then the front entrance will start to take shape and the other parts of the project,” said Lee Penner, the town’s director of parks and leisure services.
Sliding doors and a reconfi gured angle are the main features of the en-trance.
The project is budgeted at just more than $2 million.
Construction is scheduled for the next two months.
“It will all be ready for Family Day (Feb. 17) and it will be one of the fi rst big events in the new-look Rec Centre,” Penner said.
Upstairs, the seniors’ centre in the former conference room is set to be the fi rst component completed.
“The seniors’ centre is scheduled to be completed by the end of De-cember and ready for use by mid-January,” Penner said.
“When the seniors’ centre is ready and accessible, we plan to have a special grand opening for that part,” said Coun. Malcolm Fischer, who has headed the project to create a new seniors’ centre in town.
Representatives of seniors’ groups who toured the centre last week were pleased with the progress, Fischer said.
“Comments from reps of seniors groups has been very encouraging.”
Afterward, other parts of the proj-ects are expected to wrap up within weeks.
Expanding the library to about 5,000 square feet from 3,000 is slated to soon be completed, Fischer said.
On budget, Fischer commends the architect for his leadership to main-tain costs.
“John Hull has been an excellent choice, because if there are nickels and dimes to be saved, he will fi nd them and no needless expenditures anywhere,” Fischer said.
Overall, the budget has pegged the library at $743,636, the seniors’ cen-tre at $599,040 and the new entry and interior staircase and reconfi gured foyer at $722,979.
A $250,000 grant for the library from the new federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIP) for the Town of Stettler in partnership with the County of Stettler was the funding that kick-started the major renovation project, Penner said.
Originally built about 20 years ago, the facility has become a cen-tre of much activity for the Stettler region.

After two months of demolition, wo For the first time since 1999, fees for business licences in Stettler will go up next year.
At the first meeting of the new council last week, the town raised annual fees for residents to $150 from $125 and for non-residents to $350 from $325, with part of the fee applied to membership for the Stettler Regional Board of Trade and Community Development.
Last changed in January 1999, the town council of the day reduced the resident rates to $125 from $150 and non-resident fees to $325 from $350.
“We run the risk that when we don’t increase fees for decades, we eventually have to address it and
make dramatic raises,” said Stettler Mayor Dick Richards, who initiated the increase.
“We put more funding into phy-sician recruitment with the board of trade.”
All councillors supported the raise in rates.
“A $25 increase would be small,” said Coun. Sean Nolls, a new coun-cillor who represents the town on the board of trade and owns a business.
Under the structure, resident cov-ers business owners who reside in the town and county of Stettler.
For the coming year, the town projects that increase in fees will generate revenue of $90,300, an in-crease from $77,140 under the pre-vious rates.
Rezoning for ENR DistributionWith plans to expand business,
ENR Distribution has received ini-tial support to rezone its property at the north entrance of town on Highway to industrial from highway commercial.
Council gave first reading to a bylaw to rezone this property at 4611 — 51A Avenue and 5106 — 46 Street to allow ENR to expand on property it acquired from Shell Canada.
“ENR Distribution and Shell Canada worked in conjunction to re-mediate the site from previous con-tamination,” said Leann Graham, planning and development officer.
“It was an identified brownfield site, however, with the effort of ENR, this property has been reclaimed.”
Mayor and councillors expressed that this is a good “first step” to help remediate brownfields in the community.

Can we make a difference? I suspect that we all want to, but there are a couple of hur-dles that need to be cleared.
First, we mustn’t think that we are too small or insignificant to make a difference. Some-one comically said that, “If you think you are too small to make a difference you have never been in bed with a mosquito!”
Second, we need to recognize that making a difference will often include selflessness and sacrifice ... as it did for Tony Kistan.
On April 28, 1996, a gunman walked into a crowded cafe in Port Arthur, Australia and began firing. The shooting spree resulted in the death of 35 and the wounding of 23.
Tony Kistan, a Salvation Army officer, and his wife Sarah were in the restaurant when the terrible massacre began. Tony immediately stepped in front of his wife to protect her from the gunfire.
Consequently, he was one of the first to be hit. As Sarah cradled her dying husband in her arms he uttered his last words. He told her, “I’m going to be with the Lord.”
Are you wondering, “What difference
did that make? A good man is dead, and for what?” I would admit that there’s validity in that line of reasoning but the story is not quite done.
At a press conference shortly after the shooting, Tony’s 24-year-old son Nesan de-scribed his father’s commitment to the gospel of Christ. He explained that this was why Tony had a such strong assurance as he was dying.
As Nesan spoke, toughened journalists and calloused photographers and cameramen were seen wiping away tears from their eyes. They delivered Tony’s final words of faith through
the Australian media and then around the world. Tony had faithfully shared his faith in Christ with strangers and friends, but now in death, the message that he loved was shared with millions. He had made a difference!
Thankfully, we don’t have to be shot to make a difference. However, we must recog-nize that making a difference begins with us.
An early church writer said, “As a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult, so I tried to change my na-tion. I found I couldn’t change the nation, so I focused on my town...I couldn’t change the town...then I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if I had changed myself, I could have im-pacted my family...my family and I could have made an impact on our town...their impact could have changed the nation and I could in-deed have changed the world!”
Are you making a difference?

INDEPENDENTINDEPENDENTSTETTLERTHESUBSCRIPTION RATES
By Derek FildebrandtAlberta director,Canadian Taxpayers Federation
When governments use tax-payers’ money to explicitly cam-paign for a candidate running for political office, it’s fair to call it corrupt and undemocratic. Ac-cording to documents provided to the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-tion, that is just what happened in at least one municipality during the last provincial election.
The documents reveal how at least one senior, taxpayer-paid, municipal employee in the Coun-ty of Stettler used government time and resources to campaign for the re-election of now former MLA Jack Hayden.
In 106 pages of email ex-changes, senior municipal em-ployees received, and may have forwarded, nearly daily campaign updates from the PC Party cam-paign war room to their fellow municipal employees.
It’s clear these campaign emails ended up in county in-boxes and that at least one senior staff member was working on the PC campaign.
One email exchange shows the County of Stettler director of
communications, Shawna Ben-son, sharing a campaign Face-book page for PC candidate Jack Hayden that she had built.
“Our Facebook Page is now up and running…with an event for the Premier’s visit on Thursday going live shortly. Please .. go to the Facebook page if you have an account….And “like” it…!”
This email was sent from her county email address at 10:45 a.m. on a Tuesday.
In preparation for voting day, some county staff received this reminder: “The following bul-letin includes some links on the PC Senate Candidates, and you might want to review this before the vote tomorrow. Let’s all focus on getting Jack Hayden support-ers out to the polls.”
From what we already know, it’s fair to ask if these employ-ees were planning on “getting Jack Hayden supporters out to the polls” on government time.
The County of Stettler didn’t just fund partisan campaigns with taxpayers’ money indirectly through the use of government employee’s time, but also directly with donations to the Progressive Conservative Party.
Between 2008 and 2010, the
municipality forked over an av-erage of $2,600 a year to the PC Party. The practice was discontin-ued soon after.
It would seem that in lieu of direct cash payments from the county, in-kind taxpayer “dona-tions” would be made in the form of employee time and resources.
There needs to be consequenc-es for this. To begin with, all County of Stettler employees who used taxpayer-funded, county re-sources or did campaign-related work on taxpayers’ dime should lose their jobs.
Elections Alberta also needs to investigate. Some employees were brazen in their willingness to openly campaign using taxpay-ers’ money, and showed no shame or moral compunction about it. With the names and email ad-dresses of so many others blacked out, it would not be surprising if other county employees turned out to have been campaigning while on the clock, as well. Only a thorough investigation by au-thorities with the power to ob-tain the required information can ascertain just how extensive this practice was in Stettler.
Jack Hayden used to be a councillor and reeve for Stettler
between 1998 and 2007. He was also the municipal affairs minis-ter between 2008 and 2011. It’s no surprise that his friends at the municipality wanted to help him get re-elected. But they should have known better than to use county resources.
Jack Hayden was copied on 17 of these campaign emails be-tween April 3 and April 21, 2012 — almost one a day. Presumably, he knew that at least one county employee was campaigning on taxpayers’ time. Did he make any attempt to stop the practice?
Elections Alberta has identi-fied 44 municipalities and other government institutions that made “donations” to political parties in recent years, like Stettler. It’s fair to ask how many of these munici-palities — like Stettler — “do-nated” staff time and resources to campaigns as well.
Funneling taxpayers’ money into partisan campaigns is not just wasteful and unethical, it undermines the integrity of our democratic institutions. Only an investigation and a few public ex-amples of the consequences can clear the air.
Let’s call a spade a spade. This is corruption.

Bill 28, The Modernizing Regional Governance Act, created a great deal of controversy in the Legislature recently, and for some very vaild reasons.
The Alberta government was forced to change its tune after sober second thought being raised by the Op-position parties in the Legislature with this obviously flawed piece of legislation.
One of the bill’s primary goals is to allow the prov-ince to assume stricter controls over development throughout the province’s municipalities.
The bill would establish the province’s authority to force municipalities to enter into regional planning boards like the Capital Region Board or the Calgary Regional Partnership and impose strict controls on the governing bodies.
Along with the strict controls come strict conse-quences for those that do not comply. The bill states that, “if the Minister considers that a municipal author-ity or regional services commission has not complied with an Alberta Land Stewardship Act (Bill 36) regional plan, the Minister may take any necessary measures to ensure that the municipal authority or regional services commission complies with the ALSA regional plan.”
Those measures for those elected officials who fail to co-operate or provide requisite information, unbeliev-ably, are a fine of up to $10,000 or one year in prison.
The Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMDC) and the Alberta Urban Municipali-ties Association (AUMA) haven’t had an adequate op-portunity to go over the proposed bill due to the lack of any prior consultation being done. The lack of con-sultation, coupled with the recent civic elections that saw some of the towns, counties and municipal districts experience a significant turn-over in councillors that hadn’t even been sworn-in before the bill was intro-duced in the house by the municipal affairs minister,
added to the uncertainty.What’s most concerning to every Albertan is that
their locally elected officials would essentially be re-stricted from the decisions the constituents of their communities democratically elected them to make. Also of great concern to taxpayers, will be the effect Bill 28 will no doubt have, on introducing yet another layer of bureaucracy to an already cluttered regulatory environment.
After a raucous 12-hour debate forced by the opposi-tion that went on until 1:45 a.m. Halloween morning, the premier announced the next day that Bill 28 would not proceed until more thorough consultation with mu-nicipalities and municipal leaders could be completed.
The outcome was due to an all-night session between the official opposition and the Alberta government. Ac-cording to Airdrie MLA Rob Anderson, who led the charge in the debate, “this reversal from the govern-ment is a victory for democracy, local civic government autonomy, and all Albertans.”
“I am delighted to see the Premier come around to our perspective on this legislation,” Leader of the Wil-drose Party Danielle Smith said.
She also added, “Wildrose strongly believes in the autonomy of local governments and the current Bill 28
would have undermined that independence.”The Wildrose will continue to advocate for your duly
elected civic officials to have the legal, unobstructed, autonomy they require to act in the best interests of their constituents.

Every year, we try to focus on local priorities, while achieving tangible results for both students and their communities through this federal initia-tive.
It works in local econo-mies throughout our large riding of Crowfoot.
The Canada Summer
Jobs initiative provides funding to not-for-profit, public-sector and small private-sector employ-ers with 50 or fewer em-ployees. It creates sum-
mer job opportunities for young people 15 to 30 years of age who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year.
Employers can apply online at servicecanada.gc.ca/csj2014 or by print-ing an application from the website.
They can also get an application by visiting any Service Canada Centre.
Please note that the pe-riod to apply for Canada Summer Jobs 2014 will be from Dece. 2, 2013, to Jan. 10, 2014. These new dates will allow employers to be notified of their ap-plication status earlier.
Not-for-profit orga-nizations, public-sector employers, and small businesses create these high-quality summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years.
These full-time stu-dents who intend to re-turn to their studies in the next school year can re-turn home for the summer months – and have a sum-mer job. This is important to families in our riding and across Canada.
For more information, call my office at 780-608-4600.

Helping families battle violence in the home com-ing on 40 years, Judi Beebe of Donalda received an In-spiration Award from the provincial government last week to kick off Family Vi-olence Awareness Month.
One of three individual recipients, she was hon-oured by the new Ministry of Family and Community Safety during a ceremony in Calgary.
“Just doing this type of
work is one thing, and hav-ing somebody notice your efforts that you make in working with children and families is another thing,” said Beebe, who has served as the only executive-di-rector of the Association of Communities Against Abuse.
The group began 25 years ago and serves the Stettler and Castor re-gions.
With a career spanning 39 years, Beebe has served is a variety of roles as child and youth care counsellor, social worker, foster par-ent, community awareness
co-ordinator, board mem-ber and chair of Camrose Women’s Shelter.
“When I was young and in school, a girl in my school experienced a lot of domestic violence in her home and I would of-ten bring her to my home and she told me about her situation, and so I thought somebody should do some-thing about it,” Beebe said.
“I thought I would go into a career where I know I could make a difference.”
After embarking on the career at 20 years old, she has touched many lives and families and serves on fam-
ily violence committees in Stettler, Drumheller, Cam-rose and Beaver County.
“I hear stories every day from people who have ex-perienced sexual abuse in the childhood or domes-tic abuse from their part-ner,” said Beebe, who has a daughter employed as a social worker and her other daughter as a music thera-pist.
“To know that someone will listen to them and be-lieve them, and offer sup-port and help, is really the most important thing we can do.”
As her career demon-
strates, Beebe has a pas-sion to build a strong and healthy community.
Nominated by a social worker from Red Deer, Beebe has been a key player to bring psycho-ed-ucational group program-ming to men, women and children involved in or af-fected by family violence in the Stettler area.
Beebe also represent-ed Alberta on a national committee with the Public Health Agency of Canada to develop the training resource — Addressing Family Violence … PeaceBegins at Home.”
This November – national CPR month, the First Stettler Scouts would like to thank Cougar Emergency Services for their gracious donation of an AED (automated external de brillator) & industrial rst aid kit. (L-R) Tony Presley – president of Cougar Emergency Services, presents Jim Flack – committee member & past leader of First Stettler Scouts with the much appreciated rst aid equipment.

In an effort to clean up former fuel stations in Stettler and clear the way for more highway commercial space, town council has set two priority highway properties now labelled as brownfields.
At its regular meeting last week, town council selected sites on Highway 12 east of Stettler GM and beside Kentucky Fried Chicken as priority sites to clean up, as council awaits a provincial report and strategy with sites among 11 loca-tions in town.
“It’s totally ludicrous that these oil companies walk away without reme-diating these properties,” said Coun. Malcolm Fischer, who expressed brown-fields as a top priority during the town’s all-candidates’ forum during the election campaign last month.
“We want to put pressure on the gov-ernment.”
Other councillors fully supported the push.
“We need to make this a high prior-ity,” said Coun. Will Brown, in his first council meeting as an elected represen-tative.
Now with 11 brownfields untouched after four were cleaned up this year in town, council plans to meet with Alberta Environment ministry officials during the convention of the Alberta Urban Mu-nicipalities Association on Nov. 21.
For more than a year, the provincial Brownfield Redevelopment Working Group under the ministries of munici-pal affairs and environment has studied a program and strategy and currently not agreed yet to release the report or move forward with a recommendation.
With these sites cleaned up, it will allow the town to create opportunities for highway commercial and other busi-nesses.
“More space for highway commer-cial development is why we needed an-nex land from the Country of Stettler,” Mayor Dick Richards said.
Soil testing by the KFC site was con-ducted last summer, though the level of contamination hasn’t yet been deter-mined, said Leann Graham, planning and development officer.
Located at the junction of Highway 56, it’s a prime location because 10,000 vehicles pass through that area daily, said chief administrative officer Rob Stoutenberg.
Discussing the concerns with the ministry, town officials will ask when the report will be released and how the strategy might benefit the town and its plans to redevelop brownfield sites in a timely manner.
During further discussion, other prior-ity sites mentioned were on Highway 56 south of Heartland Bowl and downtown on main street, across from Stettler and District Family and Community Support Services.

Stettler has again re-ceived a fi ve-bloom rating at the national Communi-ties in Bloom awards this year, competing for the second year in the interna-tional challenge for small towns.
“They do judge much, much harder at the inter-national level in order to differentiate between all of the communities that are all doing great things,” said Rob Spencer, who chairs Heartland Beautifi cation Committee for the Town of Stettler.
“As a result, our marks were slightly lower than in the past.”
Stettler dropped its score to 82 from 85 last year.
On a bright note, Stettler was specially recognized
for heritage preservation with the Stettler Town and Country Museum.
“While we didn’t bring home any special certifi -cates or awards, we cer-tainly came home with many great recommenda-tions from our judges and lots of good ideas from interacting with the judges and the other communi-ties,” Spencer said.
With the luck of the Irish, the Village of Ab-beyshrule, Ireland, won the category.
“I think that Stettler is doing a tremendous job in lots of areas and I hope that we’ll continue to move for-ward in our participation in CIB and in our general ef-forts to make Stettler a bet-ter, cleaner, greener place to live,” Spencer said.
The beautifi cation com-mittee encourage everyone in town, whether a resident,
a business owner, a volun-teer, or a student, “to take a look at this community with a different lens and do two things,” Spencer said.
“First is to appreciate what a great place this is and what great features, amenities and services we have.
“The second is to step up and do something more to contribute, even if you are already doing some-thing. It is our combined efforts that will make the difference.”
Watch for more initia-tives, projects and activi-ties in the next year.
“If anyone wants to get involved, but don’t know how, just ask and we’ll fi nd a way.”
Anyone wishing to par-ticipate is requested to con-tact a committee member or phone the town offi ce at 403-742-8305.

About 100 people fi lled the Endiang Hall on Saturday evening to enjoy the Tim Hus CD release concert. Hus is a talented singer, songwriter and entertainer, true to his Canadian roots. He and his band are amazing musicians as well. The event was hosted by Ruthie Ratcliffe of Ruthie’s Roost. Her son Jesse Fowler opened the show. Those who did not attend missed a fun and entertaining evening. Thanks to Ruthie for bringing such wonderful enter-tainment to town.
Congratulations to Lee Hunt, a long-time Endiang resident, on the celebration of her 80th birthday. On Thursday, Lee along with her daughters Barb Paetz, Sue Armstrong, Maureen Wasdal and Wilma Paetkau attended a live performance of “The Great Gatsby” at Theatre Calgary. One of the performers was Lee’s nephew, Christopher Hunt. He is the son of Connie Hunt and the late David Hunt.
The celebration continued on Friday with shopping at the Millarville Market and on Sunday with an open house at the home of Jim and Maureen Wasdal. Many family members, including son Harold, as
well as neighbours attended the social. We hope you have many more happy birth-days, Lee.
Congratulations to a longtime resident of the Byemoor – Hackett area and now of Stettler, Isabel (nee Campbell) Nixon, on celebrating her 90th birthday. A social was held in her honour on Saturday afternoon at the Stettler Legion Hall. Best wishes for many more happy years, Isabel.
Congratulations are also in order for another former Byemoor resident, Olwin (nee Green) Pearson, on the celebration of her 90th birthday. A large crowd attended the social for Olwin at the Stettler Legion Hall on Sunday afternoon. Olwin’s talent-ed family provided the entertainment for the program. We wish Olwin many more happy birthdays.
Several folks from the Endmoor area attended the memorial funeral service for Leonard Waters in Big Valley on Saturday. The service was performed by Leonard’s nephew Doug Hayden of Calgary. Leonard was a well-known and highly-respected member of the Big Valley community. He was laid to rest in the family plot in the Endiang Cemetery.
Kate Woelk had her uncle and aunt,
Allan and Coral Grimwood of Dryden, Ont., spend a week-long visit with her. Kate’s brother from Lethbridge, Ken Ou-lette, also came for a family visit.
A correction to last week’s news — Cliff and Juanita Pruden have not yet moved to Castor, the move is now planned for the spring.
Sonny and Terry Gallant have Terry’s son Barry Stauffer visiting from Montreal.
Due to the stormy weather on the fi rst weekend of November, the 4-H weigh-in had to be postponed. All the beef clubs weighed their calves on Nov. 6 at the Stettler Auction Mart.
The crib meet at the Endmoor Drop-in Centre on Tuesday evening saw Elea-nor Schultz emerge as the top player and Ruthie Ratcliffe placed second. The next crib meet will be on Nov. 19.
Several from the district took in one of the performances of “Beauty and the Beast” in Hanna. Some local people are involved in the production.
The Byemoor School held its Re-membrance Day service at the school on Tuesday. Students and representatives of the Stettler branch of the Royal Canadian Legion composed the program. It is so
important we do not forget the sacrifi ces made so we may enjoy the freedom we do.
It was another busy weekend for the local hockey players. The pee wees won their games in Byemoor against Rocky Mountain House on Saturday 7 – 3 and on Sunday against Lacombe, 6 – 5.
The atoms team won against Daysland by a score of 9 – 4 while the mites lost their game in Delburne.
The novice team won its game against Kneehill in Trochu with a score of 8 – 1.
The Endmoor Minor Hockey Associa-tion donated $500 to the Byemoor School nutritional program and $500 to the Sul-livan Lake West Agricultural Society from proceeds earned from hosting the Chev-elles concert. The group said it is its way of giving back to the community in appre-ciation of the support they receive.

Well, the snow has settled and the roads have been cleared but I believe winter is here to stay! It’s a good time to take out those projects you have been putting off for a while now.
Curling is underway at the Rumsey rink and Stan Solberg called to inform me about a new bonspiel that will be held this com-ing week in Rumsey called the Wildrose bonspiel. Brooks Watts and Tim Primrose will be taking 16 mixed team entries for this bonspiel that will conclude on Nov. 23. There will be prizes for each event, but the most exciting part is that the winner of the A event will then go on to curl against the winners of an identical bonspiel being held in Pollockville that will conclude on Nov. 30.
The two teams will meet in Hanna on Dec. 16 for a chance to win four tickets to the Scots provincial bonspiel in Sylvan Lake to be held in January 2014; plus the bragging rights, of course! This sounds like a lot of fun and a great way to get into
the curling season, so call Tim at 403-368-3726 or Brooks Watts at 403-368-2357 to register a team.
Jolene Kopjar called to let me know that the Morrin School Library is hosting their Scholastic Fall Book Fair from Nov. 18 to 22. It will be open late the evening of parent-teacher Interviews, so you have a chance to get into it then as well. This is a great way to support the school library and also purchase some good reading material for your children and yourself.
Marilyn Trentham also called to let me know that the Morrin Lions will be hosting a “Strides for Diabetes” Walk at the school on Nov. 23 from 7 to 8 p.m. and encour-aged everyone to join in on this worthwhile cause.
Thanks to everyone who makes an ef-fort to call, text, email or Facebook me with info from the community. It sure makes writing this column a lot easier and a whole lot more interesting to read, I am sure.
The Rumsey Library is back operating at our full hours, I would like to thank my
regulars and anyone who I left standing outside my locked door during the past two months of football season. It is all over except for the banquet, so I am able to stay full time at the library.
The Rumsey community ccalendar is for sale at the library. I hope you will take a few minutes to stop in and take a look at this beautiful collection of local pictures. They make for a great Christmas present!
Joke of the week, Enjoy: Jake and Bart were on their way to look a big string of cattle when they got caught in a terrible blizzard. In white-out conditions, they pulled into a ranch headquarters and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. “I realize it’s terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,” she explained. “I’m afraid the neighbours will talk if I let you stay in my house, so maybe it would be better if you stayed in the bunkhouse.”
“Not a problem,” said Bart. “The bunk-house will be fi ne … If the weather breaks,
we’ll be gone at fi rst light.”Come morning, the weather was clear
and the cattle buyers got on their way. About nine months later, Jake received an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to fi gure it out, but he fi -nally determined that it was from the attor-ney of that attractive widow that let them stay in her bunkhouse. He found Bart at his favourite watering hole and asked, “Do you remember that good-looking widow that let us stay in her bunkhouse last winter?”
“I sure do,” replied Bart. “Did you happen to get up in the middle
of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?” Jake asked.
With growing concern, Bart answered cautiously, “Yeah, I guess I did.”
“And did you happen to use my name, instead of telling her your name?” asked Jake.
Looking like a deer caught in the head-lights, Bart mumbled, “I guess I did that, too. Is there a problem?”
“No problem,” laughed Jake. “She just died … And left me everything.”

By Colleen WarrenClearview School Division
At the Clearview school board meet-ing last Thursday, associate superinten-dent Peter Neale presented updated infor-mation regarding the fall budget for the 2013-14 school year, including a number of options to deal with budget shortfalls.
While the province has been trimming funding in recent years, Clearview has been following a planned course of action by spending reserves to lessen the impact of funding decreases on programming.
Since August 2009, Clearview reserves have been drawn down by about $2.8 mil-lion to sustain operations and services across the school division. The board believes reserves are now close to where they should be, and the division must now look for ways to manage expenditures go-ing forward.
The board strongly believes that avail-able resources should be used to provide the very best programming possible. While centralized operations are a nec-essary and important part of the system, the board considers it very important to have as much funding as possible going directly to schools.
Based on the information presented, the board directed senior administration to fi nalize the 2012-13 fi nancial state-ments and transfer a net total of $382,618 in unrestricted reserves to cover funding shortfalls across the division, including:
— $248,755 for Stettler Outreach School due to funding shortfalls;
— $15,473 for Stettler Elementary School and Stettler Middle School;
— $92,000 to pay for the Alberta gov-ernment funding clawback announced in its spring budget;
— $43,439 to rebuild the Contingency and Flexibility Fund;
— $40,919 to pay for unbudgeted in-
creases in sick leave costs;— $26,858 to pay for the Clearview
share of paving the road by the Stettler bus and maintenance shops.
The shortfalls are partly offset by con-tributions of $50,000 from the admin-istration reserve and $34,826 from the technology reserve being put back into schools.
The board also directed senior admin-istration to fi nalize the 2013-14 fall bud-get, including:
— Reducing trustee expenditures to the same level as in the 2011-12 school year.
— Keeping all school programs going with no major changes during the school year.
— Continuing to use $300,000 from the Equity of Opportunity grant to replace the Fuel Price Contingency grant cut by the province in its spring budget. That enables the division to continue operating all current bus routes and keep ride times as low as possible.
Reducing expenditures in building op-eration and maintenance to address an un-sustainable defi cit of $510,990 projected for this budget. The defi cit is mainly due to provincial funding cuts and cost in-creases for utilities.
The board agreed to reductions in maintenance services across the division and having administration explore other potential reductions, such as closing un-used classrooms to save expenditures in the operations and maintenance budgets.
Next meetingThe next meeting of the Clearview
school board will held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28, at the board offi ce in Stettler. Regular board meetings are open to the public.

“Just Joking with Jen-nifer” is a fantastic new program that has started at the Stettler Public Library. Happening on Tuesdays at 6 p.m., kids meet at the li-brary for an hour fi lled with jokes, riddles, and games!
Once having mastered a few jokes each, we then have a chance to visit the various seniors’ centres and perform our jokes in front of an audience. This provides a stress-free learn-ing environment for kids to improve public-speaking skills, as well as create intergenerational relation-ships.
Children with a back-ground in public speaking are more likely to succeed in school and the work-place, and “Just Joking” is an awesome way to get started. Over the past three
weeks, we have been hav-ing fun with activities such as funny-face competi-tions, make-your-own-joke games, charades and more.
Pre-schoolers and their adults are invited to join Read and Rhyme Playtime on Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 a.m. at the Stettler Recreation Centre in the upstairs meeting room. Join Kim as she leads you in songs, rhymes, stories and an all-around great time.
Until the library is com-pletely renovated, we have changed our hours at the mini version of the Stettler Public Library. The hours of operation are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Fri-day and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thurs-day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with Sunday being closed. If you have any questions or concerns about the new hours, contact us at
403-742-2292.Tutoring with Elaine is
back on Tuesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. to help people of any age with homework is-sues. She will help you map out solutions that allow you to understand school concepts.
Copies of books for each of our book clubs are avail-able at the Stettler Public Library.
Reader’s Circle’s pick, “The Paris Wife,” will be the topic of discussion on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 7:30 p.m.
Between the Covers is taking a chance on “The Silver Linings Playbook” on Friday, Dec. 6, at 6 p.m. The teen book club, Spine Crackers, is back on Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 5 p.m. when they will discuss “The Book Thief” in time for a discussion about the book and the movie!

LYNDA THURSTONIndependent contributor
When the curtain fell on the 40th annual Canadian Finals Ro-deo on Sunday, a long drive back to Wyoming awaited Big Valley novice saddle-bronc rider Zeke Thurston.
For Thurston, the 14-hour drive back to college in Sheridan, Wy., was worth every bit of effort after his week in Edmonton gar-nered the 19-year-old his second Canadian championship.
He won the CFR boys’ steer-riding crown in 2008.
Thurston came to this year’s CFR with his hammer cocked.
“I have been rodeo-ing pretty hard this fall, competing at both college and pro rodeos, and my riding was in great shape,” he said.
Surprisingly, Thurston has picked up money at almost every rodeo he’s entered since the fi rst of August. At the CFR, he earned $4,266.
He was sidelined in mid-June when he broke his ankle at the National College Rodeo Finals.
Identical to his 2008 champi-onship, Thurston let his contend-ers know last week that he meant business by winning the fi rst three go rounds and sharing the victory in the fourth round.
“I really feel at home in Rexall Place,” quipped Thurston. “I have entertained 16,000 people there when I was only 11 and also won the steer riding. I wasn’t nervous, at all, and I feed off the energy in that kind of pressure situation.”
While Thurston might have seemed like “cool-hand Luke,” there were a total of nine qualifi ers for the CFR from Stettler county,
including Scott Schiffner, who was born and raised in Stettler but now lives in Strathmore.
Cody Cassidy had a shot to add another steer-wrestling crown to his resume, but settled for third overall and brought home $28,000. Likewise, brother Curtis had a respectable week, winning $25,000-plus in the calf roping. However, Cassidy saw the Ca-nadian high-point slip from his
dominant grasp after youngster Morgan Grant had a consistent week in both the steer wrestling and the calf roping to capture the high point.
Area team ropers dominated the standings in the regular sea-son, but it was a tough week for Stettler’s Taylor Brower, who was heeling for Travis Gallais. Likewise, Dale Skocdopole of Big Valley was frustrated with
his heading performance, but far-rier and heeler Matt Fawcett came through with the average champi-onship after he and his partner, Clay Ullery, were the only team to qualify on six steers. Besides a gold buckle, Fawcett earned $11,000.
The pressure was on Fawcett to do well after his fi ve-year-old son Caleb won the kids’ dummy roping at Northlands Farm Fair on
Friday afternoon. Caleb already had his trophy saddle loaded for the ride home, so Dad had to oblige by adding a shiny buckle.
In bull-riding, two Stettler cowboys picked up a good chunk of change. Devon Mezei of Big Valley competing at his seventh CFR, won the opening round with an 86.75 ride. Mezei placed twice more for $20,500 in earnings. Stettler native and 2012 cowboy of the year Schiffner narrowly missed his third bull-riding cham-pionship after Chad Besplug of Claresholm bettered Schiffner by three points in the average.
Perhaps the most-heartwarm-ing story of the week was Kristy White’s fi rst-ever qualifi cation in women’s barrel racing after hav-ing narrowly missed the event on numerous occasions. White, the 2012 cowgirl of the year, made the best of her week by winning the fi nal round of competition Sunday and pocketing almost $24,000.
In other events, Matt Lait claimed his fi rst bareback riding title after a heated battle with Kyle Bowers of Brooks. Going into the fi nal round, a mere 48 cents and one-and-a-half points separated the two cowboys.
Rylan Geiger of Duchess was a fi rst-time champion in saddle bronc, as were cousins Timber Moore in the calf roping and Clay-ton Moore in the steer wrestling. Travis Reay was the all-around champion of Canada. Kagen Schmidt won the boys’ steer rid-ing title, while Kody Lamb won the novice bareback champion-ship. Lisa Lockhart raced her way to her fourth barrel-racing crown and young guns Kolton Schmidt and Tyrell Flewelling walked away with the team-roping title.

The Stettler Lightning continue to make the most of the franchise’s 20th-anniversary season.
The Lightning won their 10th straight Heritage Junior Hockey League game last Sunday when they defeated the Coaldale Copperheads 5-2 at the Stettler Recreation Centre.
Dylan Houston scored two goals just 1:30 apart early in the third period to break open a 2-1 game in an afternoon contest on the eve of Remembrance Day.
The Lightning (10-3 overall) stretched their perfect home record to 6-0 and kept the Copperheads (7-9-2) win-less on the road this season. Coaldale is 0-6-1 away from home.
Connor Doucette, with a two-point night, scored on a change-up from near the Coaldale blue-line to put Stettler ahead 2-1 with 3:45 left in an otherwise scoreless second period.
Derek Muhlbach and Jacob Hamel each scored their fi rst goal of the season. Adam Ternes added a couple of assists to give him a team-leading 18 points in 13 games. His twin Scott is next with 15 points, including an assist Sunday, and their linemate Houston is third with 14 points.
Houston returned to the lineup Sunday after missing the previous weekend’s game at Medicine Hat with a shoulder injury.
Stettler goaltender Simon Thieleman made 29 saves, including a sequence with the Copperheads buzzing on a second-period power play, to post his ninth victory in 11 starts this season.
The Lightning are poised for a fi rst-place showdown at home this Saturday (7:30 p.m.) with the league-lead-ing Okotoks Bisons (11-4), who have two more points than Stettler but have played two more games. On a busy weekend, Okotoks defeated the Three Hills Thrashers 3-2 on Friday and blanked the Red Deer Vipers 6-0 on Satur-day, but lost 8-3 to the visiting High River Flyers at home Sunday afternoon. The Flyers (8-6), who beat the winless Ponoka Stampeders 10-3 on Saturday, are 3-0 against the rival Bisons this season.
Ponoka (0-11) hosts Stettler a week from tonight and two nights before the Lightning visit High River (Nov. 22).

Lightning’s depth frustrates opponentsContinued from Page B1
Sitting atop the league’s power rankings for the past two weeks, the Lightning have earned a reputation as a tough opponent.
“I think it’s just our style of play,” said Stettler coach and general manager Doug Smith. “We’re starting to add lots of little elements. Like, Wyat (Haustein) is starting to feel a little more comfortable now, so he gives us a physical element, and the D (defence) is always playing quite well.They’re getting so reliable in our own end that we don’t get running around a whole lot.
“And we play hard and we don’t give up the middle of the ice, so it makes it really hard for teams. They have to adjust and go places that they don’t want to go to, and it really slows them down.”
As evidenced Sunday in a feisty battle with the Copperheads, the Lightning held their own physcially, with the likes of Haustein providing a presence in front of the Coaldale goaltender, notably on the power play.
The Lightning’s depth is also causing fi ts for opposing teams.
“It’s from top to bottom,” Smith said of Stettler’s multi-pronged attack. “It’s not like, ‘Well, that line is out (on the ice), so we’ll just survive against this line.’ All four of our lines play the same way. We get offensive chances from each line and we get strong defensive play from every line.
“Now, we’re scoring a few power-play goals. It’s start-ing to click a little bit, now that we’re getting more practice
time, so that adds another element that makes teams a little bit leery. And our goaltending is super-solid right now. So even if they do get a chance, they come up with nothing. It puts them back on their heels.
“We’re not undisciplined in any way. We don’t take a big slug of penalties, so we don’t have to kill a lot.”
The likes of Doucette, Hamel and Derek Muhlbach emerged in Sunday’s game, illustrating that Stettler’s scoring can come from secondary sources.
“Other teams are looking at our stats and they can see two lines there that have gotten good offensive points, but they don’t know that our next two lines are just as offen-sive, but they just haven’t had it show on the scoresheet yet,” Smith said.
The veteran coach said Hamel, with three games under his belt, is fi nding his stride after missing the fi rst month of the season because of a high school football injury.
“Jake Hamel is just starting to get his feet underneath him and it gives us another strong body,” Smith said. “He did some real strong-man moves in that game in Medicine Hat (two weeks ago) ... and they couldn’t control him, just because of his strength and size.”
Hamel’s goal Sunday capped a six-point third period from Stettler’s high school contingent, including two goals from Houston, two assists from Adam Ternes and one assist from Scott Ternes.
All four of those players are in Grade 12 at William E. Composite High School, as is goaltender Jordan McCallum, who dressed as the backup in the absence of Jeff Skaley.

Kelsie Litke’s goal in the dying minutes gave the Stettler Storm a 5-4 win over Lac la Biche in the midget girls’ home-open-er Sunday at the Stettler Recreation Centre.
It capped a winning weekend for the Stettler midgets, who blanked host Lloydminster 7-0 in North Central Minor
Hockey Association ac-tion last Saturday.
Morgan Van Dusen, Jayden Hogg, Geri Slemp and Ashley Keith also scored for Stettler in its win over Lac la Biche, which fought back three times to even the score.
Lindsey McKinnon earned the shutout at Lloy-dminster. Hogg and Van
Dusen each scored two goals and singles went to Tyra Ganser, Kierra Scol-lo and Jessie Anderson.
BANTAM VICTORY: Stettler’s bantam girls defeated Tofield’s midget girls 3-1 on Saturday in Stettler.
Krysta Froese scored all three Stettler goals.
The bantam girls’ and midget girls’ teams are mixed in the same divi-sion this season as part of a new alignment in the North Central Minor Hockey Association.

The Big Valley Oil Kings appear ready for battle in the Battle River Hockey League.
The senior AA Oil Kings opened the regular season this past weekend with a pair of home victories over the 0-3 Macklin Mohawks — 7-1 on Sunday afternoon and 9-3 on Saturday night.
“It was a great way to start the season,” said Big Valley coach Scott Schell. “We got two wins and displayed strong offence, as all four lines contributed.
“We still need to work on tightening up
without the puck, but I liked how the team came together throughout the weekend. I look forward to when we get firing on all cylinders.”
The Oil Kings are back home this weekend for a doubleheader — Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. — against the Wainwright Rustlers.
Colin Stebner was solid in the Big Valley net Sunday with a 30-save perfor-mance. Macklin spoiled his shutout bid with a power-play goal in the final two minutes.
The Oil Kings responded with 36 shots, including two goals each from Ryan Kallis and Jeff Smitten and one each from Dustin Moore, Sean Neumeier and Matt Kinnunen.
They led 3-0 after the first period and 5-0 after 40 minutes.
Saturday’s game was “the first time the group was together in a game situation and the local fans were treated to some fast-paced offensive hockey from the home squad,” Schell said.
Denver Wik got the Oil Kings started
with his goal just 40 seconds into the sea-son-opener. The Mohawks evened the score a minute later, but Big Valley answered with three straight (from Kinnunen, Cory Konecny and Alex Hustad) before the peri-od ended.
Konecny netted a hat trick and Jeff Clazie potted a pair in Big Valley’s initial victory.
Smitten also scored for the Oil Kings, who took a 7-1 lead into the final period.
Chance Clark made 21 saves in the Big Valley net.

The Stettler Legion Blues gave up a 5-3 lead in the third period and lost 6-5 to the visiting Ponoka Wolves in midget A Tier 1 action Saturday in the North Central Minor Hockey Association.
Stettler’s record dropped to 1-4.“I think our inexperience showed in the third and we
sat back instead of using our speed to force the issue,” said Blues assistant coach and co-manager Neil Mc-Callum.
“We have only three players returning from last year’s provincial and league championship team (goal-tender Jordan McCallum, defenceman Brett Rider and forward Kieran Rost) and we have six first-year midget players. We are getting better every game and the results will come.”
Defenceman Tyler Wagner scored two goals for Stettler, which got singles from Rider, Matt Sylvester and Zach Werebowesky. The Cassidy cousins — rookies Drew and Quade — each picked up a couple of assists.
“We had some good play from our players,” said coach McCallum, whose Blues rebounded from a 3-1 deficit in the second period and scored four straight goals.
“The line of rookies Sylvester, Quade Cassidy and Dylan Pritchard was very effective.”
The Blues were dominated in the third period, as Ponoka outshot Stettler 20-2.
“Power-play goals against and some blown assign-ments really hurt us,” coach McCallum said.
Jordan McCallum faced 42 shots, while his team-mates managed 24 shots on Aaron Lamb.
Ponoka has a 4-3-1 after a busy weekend that also saw the Wolves defeat the Rocky Mountain House Roy-als 9-3 on Sunday and lose 5-2 to the Red Deer Kings on Friday.
Stettler selects captainsThe midget A Blues have named Kieran Rost as their
captain. The assistants are Chase Cooke, Brett Rider and goaltender Jordan McCallum.
Up next for Stettler is an 8 p.m. Friday home game against the Innisfail Flyers. The Flyers, with a perfect 6-0 record, lead the eight-team league.
Stettler is in sixth spot, ahead of Whitecourt (0-7).
Oil Kings open season with convincing wins
Midget Blues fall to Ponoka after third-period breakdown
Scott Feser is on the move again.The former Stettler minor hockey player has gone to
the Okotoks Oilers after a weekend trade in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
The Camrose Kodiaks sent Feser — an 18-year-old forward from Red Deer — and 19-year-old defenceman Josh Smith of Lacombe to the Oilers in exchange for three 18-year-olds — defenceman Stefan Danielson of Red Deer and forwards Braeden Salverda and Spencer Kryczka of Calgary.
Feser had five assists in 12 games with the junior A Kodiaks after opening this season in the WHL with his hometown Red Deer Rebels.
He joined Okotoks in time for the Oilers’ 4-1 loss to the Drumheller Dragons on Friday, and picked up an assist against Camrose on Saturday as Okotoks lost 2-1 in over-time against his former team.
LUCKY NO. 13: In his 13th game with the Olds Grizzlys, 17-year-old centre Ty Mappin of Big Valley scored his first AJHL goal in a 5-2 loss to Okotoks on Nov. 1. Mappin, who named the Grizzlys’ star of the game, has six points in 17 games since joining Olds from the WHL’s Everett Silvertips.
DRAGON SNIPER: Trent Ouellette, a 20-year-old forward from Castor, has produced more than a point a game since joining the AJHL team last month. Ouellette, formerly of the WHL’s Regina Pats, has 11 goals and 16 points in 14 games with Drumheller. He’s had a couple of four-point games, including a four-goal night in the Dragons’ 7-5 win over the Calgary Canucks a month ago.

Tickets prices are $15 for adults and $10 for se-niors and students. Tickets are available at William E. Hay and Wells Furniture.
“It is going to be a fun night for everyone coming out, so come and see us,” said director Darren Fleis-chhacker.
With more than 50 people participating in the event, much prepara-tion that has gone into the event.
“I think it’s going pretty well, said Amy Stratulate, one of the lead actresses. “We’ve stayed on sched-ule, which is surprising. We usually end up cram-ming everything in.”
Students have taken on many of the roles of the play, from acting, stage managers, lighting and many more.
“The set is wonderfully done by the construction people, led by Gord Goo-drich, so I am excited for
it,” said Shea Heathering-ton, an assistant director, choreographer, and chorus and dance member.
“All the songs are catchy and well-loved.”
Stettler Middle School vice-principal Jeff Lee is acting in the play with two of his sons, Aaron and Jor-dan. Jeff Lee is playing the character that is refl ecting on his high school years. Aaron Lee plays the kid in high school.
“I grew up in the 80’s and graduated in the 80’s, so it’s not that big of a stretch of a role,” Jeff Lee said..
“It’s awesome. It’s a very talented group of kids. They seem very mo-tivated and dedicated and want to a do a great job. It’s just great. They’ve got some interesting charac-ters and some interesting songs. They are songs that I grew up with ... I like that part.”
Jordan Lee is playing guitar for the musical. Aar-on Lee is one of the lead actors.
“I need to be in this,” said Aaron Lee. “because I love the 80’s more than anything. It’s my favourite decade.
“I don’t mind my dad being in the musical. He doesn’t bug me very much. He keeps me on top of my lines. Jordan’s OK when we’re here, and his witty comments are enjoyable. But overall, it’s pretty cool.”

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT SPORTS/SCHOOL ZONE Page B9Wednesday, November 13, 2013
CHASE ROSLAND
Independent reporter
Volleyball is almost a way of life at Donalda School.Participation in volleyball has spanned generations in
Donalda, which defies its small-school status.“Our school has a tremendous tradition in volleyball,”
said Don Seale, coach of the schools boys’ and girls’ teams. “The boys have done well over the years. The boys have brought home a number of banners. In fact, there is going to be a trophy put to retirement in Donalda, because out of the past 30 years, our name is on it 13 times.
“Volleyball has been our sport. For many years, the girls have owned central Alberta. A former principal had a tremendous program that I stepped into, and learned from him, and we continued on from there.
“It’s exciting to be at that school. It’s a great school.”Although volleyball is a team sport, individual attention
isn’t lost in Donalda’s strategy.“Team sports aren’t what we focus on,” Seale said. “We
focus on the life lessons that come out of team sports. We talk to the kids about being the best team that they can be.
“When you cover all the aspects of that as an individual and collectively, then winning come along for the ride.”
Donalda is a steady supplier of volleyball players for high school teams in Stettler and Bashaw.
“One advantage of being a smaller school is that kids get more time on the court,” Seale said. “They start earlier because of it being a necessity. That’s where you see the Grade 7’s on the starting lineups.
“In situations like that, you find the younger kids step up earlier than what they would normally do so in a larger school.
“We also have two Grade 5 girls and one Grade 5 boy that are a part of the teams. Even though they don’t play in large tournaments, they come to the practices and are working their way toward when it is their time.”

Donalda School faces Theresetta Catholic School of Castor during girls’ volleyball action this season in Stettler.
CHASE ROSLANDIndependent reporter
Donalda School is doubly represented in the CWAJHAA volleyball championships this weekend.
Donalda’s boys’ and girls’ teams have qualifi ed for the Central Western Alberta Ju-nior High Athletic Association tournaments in Stettler and Caroline, respectively.
“The boys’ team does not have any Grade 9 students this year,” said Don Seale, coach of both clubs “We’re in a bit of a building year. They play pretty good, for being a younger group.
“The girls’ starting lineup includes three
Grade 9’s, two Grade 8’s and one Grade 7.”Amy Smith is the assistant coach for
both Donalda teams.“She is invaluable,” said Seale. “Because
you can’t do it all yourself, we split the duties when teams have to go in separate directions.”
Seale reported respectable seasons for the Eagles, especially for the girls’ team.
“The boys had done better than what we thought, for being a younger team,” he said. “They work hard.
“The girls had a great year. They placed second in a number of tournaments. The girls just couldn’t seem to get over the hump and get that fi rst place.
“They’re a really good group of girls
to work with, and they work hard.”Both clubs warmed up for CWAJHAA
with appearances in the CARA regional championships in recent weeks.
“The boys didn’t step up to play at their highest potential,” said Seale. “But we were missing a player that day, and it threw the boys off their game.
“We expect a better fi nish to the season, with having all our players.”
Donalda’s girls qualifi ed the hard way, winning the CARA title against formidable competition.
“The girls knew that they had to de-feat two very strong teams to make it — Cornation and Theresetta (Catholic) School (of Castor),” Seale said.
“We met the Cornation girls in the semi-fi nals, and it was a tremendous match. One of the best matches I’ve been a part of. Go-ing into the third match, we were tied in two sets.
“At the halftime switch, we were down 8-2. After the switch of ends, the girls never made a single mistake. I called a time-out when were down 13-8, and we went back and made it 14-13 for us. At that point, we had a game-point.
“Then Cornation had a game-point at 15-14, and then we won the next three points straight to take the win. It was quite an achievement against a school with more than 80 kids. It was quite an accomplish-ment for the girls.”
Donalda serves school volleyball tradition
WILDCAT CORNER
CHASE ROSLANDIndependent reporter
After an undefeated regular season, the pennant-winning Stettler Wildcats host the Central Alberta High School Volleyball League’s junior varsity boys’ cham-pionship this Saturday.
“Given our record, we’re fairly confident going into the championship,” said teacher supervisor Derrick Hatch, who coaches the Wildcats along with Brady Armstrong.
“However, anything can happen, especially given that it’s a one-day tourney, with our team having to play a minimum of four to six matches all in one day.
“Win or lose, we’re going to have eight exhausted players by the time it’s over.”
The Wildcats finished off the regular season in style, winning twice at home last week.
On Wednesday, they blanked Innisfail 3-0 in the best-of-five match (25-20, 26-18 and 25-19).
A week ago Monday, Stettler needed a tiebreaker to edge Wetaskiwin 3-2, rallying from a 2-1 deficit. The scores were 23-25, 25-11, 17-25, 27-25 and 15-8.
Communication from the other volleyball teams at William E. Hay Composite High School has been scarce of late. The senior and JV girls are scheduled to visit Lacombe this Thursday.
BASKETBALLWildcat basketball tips off soon, with tryouts set for
next Monday through Wednesday:Monday — girls: 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. (elementary
school gym); boys: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (high school gym).
Tuesday — girls: 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. (elementary school gym).
Wednesday — girls: 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. (elementa-ry school gym); boys: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (high school gym).
REMEMBRANCE DAYLast Thursday, William E. Hay, Stettler Middle
School and Stettler Elementary School held their annual Remembrance Day ceremony in the high school gym. The service preceded a four-day school break.
HIGH SCHOOL BOOK CLUBMs. Stephenson and students have started a high
school book club. The group is for anyone who enjoys reading and talking about literature.
The club’s first meeting was last week. All are invited to join. For more information, contact Ms. Stephenson, Cassidy Munholland or Keirsten Docherty.

STETTLER MIDDLE SCHOOL
By Kassidy Bourdonand Catrina Bernard
We are three months into the school year and snow is already covering the grass. Many things have occurred in SMS since last week. Those from the high school and elementary school joined us for our annual Re-membrance Day ceremony. The ceremony took place in the high school gym with members from the legion, the RCMP, fellow students and the high school band contributing to the program. A tremendous thanks to ev-eryone who organized the event and to everyone who took the time to pay tribute to those who sacrifi ced ev-erything for us to have the freedoms we have today.
A big thank-you goes out to the student union for buying new books to stock our library shelves. There are literally too many to name, so you will just need to come in and check them out.
Ms. Damberger’s vol-leyball team has ended its season. All the girls had
a great season fi lled with a lot of laughs. They held their wind up on Thursday, Nov. 7, over the lunch break. They enjoyed pizza, cupcakes and reliving mem-ories from the season.
Mrs. Erickson’s 6D social class is learning the election process. They are hold-ing a mock election where they are choosing a cartoon character as their room rep-resentative. The nominees are Mickey Mouse, Syl-vester The Cat, Perry The Platypus, Tweety Bird, and Stewie. What a fun way to learn about the election pro-cess. Mrs. Erickson’s 6A and 6C classes have written scripts about their growing experiences in the middle school. They’ll turn these scripts into videos to share with the others.
Mrs. Burkard’s 8B and 8D social classes have just fi nished making their own Aztec masks. They spent three classes planning and building their masks as a part of the Spanish and the Aztec unit of study. The students had a lot of fun and have created some beautiful
and unique masks. Feel free to drop into Mrs. Burkard’s room to see them all on dis-play.
Mr. Poapst is pleased to have a returning guest instructor in his industrial arts classes to teach wood-turning. His name is An-drew Glazebrook, and he is a woodturning artist from Red Deer. Andrew will be spending two weeks at our school through Nov. 22, where the grade 6, 7 and 8 industrial arts classes will receive instruction and a chance to work on some of the high-quality machines that Andrew will bring with him. Other classes will be treated to demonstrations of woodturning as well. We can’t wait to see the won-derful pieces created.
The boys’ volleyball team went to CARA play-offs with a confi dent atti-tude on Saturday, Nov. 2. They lost the game against Theresetta in the semifi -nals, which put them in the bronze-medal game against Gus Wetter. They came out victorious, earning them the bronze medal. Great
job guys! Mrs. Burkard’s girls’ team had a great day as well. They earned a spot in the playoffs, where they played against Donalda. Our girls played well, but just couldn’t overcome the strength of Donalda’s play-ers, who went on to earn silver. Both teams play this Saturday in CWAJHAA, with the boys heading to Lacombe and the girls go-ing to Sylvan Lake. Good luck to both teams.
Report cards go out to-morrow and parent-teacher interviews are on Nov. 21, so please contact the school to make arrangements for an interview.
Y-CAT is pleased to be offering another hot lunch this month. Pizza is on the menu on Nov. 22 for those who pre-ordered.
The Y-CAT group meets every Wednesday to plan out their activities for the year.
The high school is pre-senting the play “Back to the 80s,” and you will never guess who’s perform-ing. Our very own Mr. Lee. Break a leg, Mr. Lee!
