Superintendent to review issueswith Stettler schools
Joel van der VeenINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The staff, students and parents of Stet-tler’s public schools will soon have the chance to have their say on the issues facing those schools and what could be done to ad-dress them.
Clearview Public Schools superintendent Peter Barron has been tasked with review-ing those issues and finding possible solu-
tions over the next three months. After engaging with students, staff and
parents, and devising several possible sce-narios, each with pros and cons, he will make a follow-up presentation to the board in January 2015.
Following a lengthy discussion, the board approved a motion to that effect at its regu-lar meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9.
The schools’ current configuration has
sometimes been a bone of contention, and several board members expressed pleasure that Barron had agreed to tackle the issue.
“I’m just really happy that it’s starting to move in the direction it should have moved a few years ago,” said trustee Yvette Cas-sidy, adding that she believes parents are ready to support changes.

A group of German ex-change students made the most of their three weeks in Alberta, shopping at the West Edmonton Mall, tak-ing in a Stampeders game and touring through the province’s central region.
The group, hosted by
students and families from William E. Hay Composite School, arrived on Sept. 25 and was scheduled to return to Germany on Wednesday, Oct. 15.
“They’ve had a pretty jam-packed schedule,” said the school’s principal, Norbert Baharally, add-ing that the students’ host families also took them on trips when the larger group wasn’t planning anything.
The students had plans to go paintballing and visit the corn maze in Lacombe on Saturday, wrapping up their trip with a potluck supper on Tuesday before departing from Calgary on Wednes-day.
The group of 14 students, mostly in grades 10 and 11, came from Sanitz, a smaller municipality in the Rostock district in northeast Ger-many.
Baharally said the two communities have done several such exchanges, and that families on both sides have been able to send multiple siblings on the ex-change over the years.
During their three weeks in Alberta, the students ob-served plenty of differences, from meals and the weather to the wide-open spaces and
vehicles on the road.Germans usually eat a hot,
larger meal at midday, while the evening meal is more modest, said Baharally.
Sven Tiedemann ob-served that at William E. Hay, the students will cover all of the semester’s sub-jects in one day, while at their school in Sanitz, the subjects are spread through-out the week.
“And our school has no Wi-Fi,” he added. “We’re (technologically) on a lower level.”
The students in Sanitz are required to study two foreign languages, one of which must be English. (For the second, they can choose between French, Spanish and Latin.)
As a result they had little trouble communicating in Stettler, although they were tripped up by the occasional unfamiliar word or phrase, such as “toque.”
Dominik Pfeiffer said stu-dents in Sanitz have fewer opportunities to play sports at school, while Victoria Holtz said she was surprised at how “vast and spread out” everything is.
One of the students, upon arriving at the Calgary air-port, quickly asked her host
family, “Where are all the trees?”
The exchange students also said they were sur-prised at the number of pick-up trucks on the road, and by how many William E. Hay students drive them-selves to school.
In Germany, teenagers can’t start driving until they turn 18, and high school stu-dents mostly ride on crowd-ed busses.
The Stettler host students also had some surprises. Sara Lovell said she was impressed by how polite, respectful and prompt the German boys were, in com-parison to their Canadian counterparts.
“At our school, they’re kind of little, dirty rascals,” she joked, adding that the boys from Germany were also “all very clean.”
“I was shocked at how much we actually have in common,” said Ally Zita-ruk, observing that the Ger-mans are largely into the same (mostly American) music, movies and enter-tainment.
A group of nine students from William E. Hay is expected to visit Sanitz in the spring, accompanied by Baharally.

The driver of a semi-trailer is facing a charge of failing to yield after he ran a red light last week and struck a red Mazda car passing through the intersection.
The driver of the truck, who is from the Stettler area, allegedly ran the red light at the intersection of highways 12 and 56 on Oct. 7, according to Stet-tler RCMP Const. Carter
Boytinck.The truck was travelling
on Highway 56 when it ran the red light, Boytinck said. The Mazda, which was driven by a Stettler resident, had the green light when it was struck.
The driver of the car didn’t suffer any inju-ries, RCMP said, but the driver of the semi-trailer was taken to Stettler Hos-pital by EMS, which had responded along with the RCMP and Stettler Re-gional Fire and Rescue,
with minor injuries.Alcohol and drugs
were not factors in the collision, and according to the RCMP, a witness said the truck simply did not stop at the red light,
or make any attempt to slow for the stop light. The Stettler branch of the ITU isn’t limited to Stettler County, but can be found all over Central Alberta.

Heartbroken and still grieving, Wanda Webster stood be-fore the County of Stettler Council on Wednesday, Oct. 8, and spoke passionately about what she believes are faulty, loose dog bylaws in the county.
She appeared with her daughter, Brandy Vasseur, to make the plea, which comes after the vicious attack, mauling and killing of the family pet, Hershey.
The eight-year-old chocolate lab was mauled by two loose pit bulls on Sept. 15, eventually dying of its wounds in the family’s yard, south of the Stettler airport.
That these two dogs were returned to the owner the fol-lowing day was “absolutely unacceptable,” Webster said. However, she acknowledged the county’s bylaw allowed for the action – the only recourse for her was to see the bylaw change.
“I know I cannot prevent a tragedy like this from happen-ing again, but we can prevent animals like this from going back into our community,” Webster said to council. “This needs to be changed, not only to protect other animals, but to protect human beings.”
When Webster found Hershey on Sept. 15, she imme-diately called the veterinarian, who came out right away. There was no hope for the beloved family pet. His ribcage had been crushed.
“He’s part of the family,” Webster said, after the meeting. “He didn’t deserve to go like that. He deserved to live to his old age.”
She said the dog was as old as her oldest grandchild, and that the whole family is grieving the loss of the wonderful family pet.
“We called him our gentle giant.”
What is even more terrifying for Webster, though, is that her grandchildren were supposed to be at the farm the day Hershey was killed.
Webster said she is convinced the two dogs that killed Hershey will strike again.
“They’ve tasted blood,” she said. “Once an animal has killed, they can easily kill again.”
Bylaw petitionThe current bylaw allows the owner of a non-violent pet
to pick it up the next day, and the animal to be held for up to seven days.
The current contractor used by the county is Red Deer Animal Services, which came and took the two pit bulls, only to release them the next day.
The owners are due in court on Oct. 23, where a judge shall decide if the animals are vicious.
When an animal harms or kills a person, they are imme-diately deemed vicious and held by animal control for ob-servation and not returned to the owner. Its fate is decided by the courts.
When an animal harms another animal, the animal can be released the next day, rather than waiting for the ruling.
That’s what Webster said she wants to see changed. After perusing the bylaws of neighbouring communities, she pre-sented a bylaw option to county that would see hounds held at owners’ expense until the courts decide the fate of the dog. At that time it would either be released to the owner or destroyed.
The owners of the two pit bulls in this case could face fines of up to $5,000, which will also be decided at court.

James Marshall Trucking Ltd. was awarded a five-year gravel contract at the last county meeting, to the tune of $4,162,500.
The tender, which called for a company to handle the supply and maintenance of gravel for the county’s roads, saw a lot of interest, according to Niki Thor-steinsson, the county’s spokesperson. There were several calls for informa-tion, she said, and several applications to choose from.
The county’s staff rec-ommended James Marshall Trucking Ltd., who came in
on budget with the $4-mil-lion bid, and county coun-cillors agreed, voting to support the motion.
Nixon stays on as ReeveThe county held its orga-
nizational meeting directly before council, where it was decided that Wayne Nixon, who has acted as Reeve for the past year, will continue in the role.
Trash woesRepresentatives from the
Village of Big Valley coun-cil came to the county meet-ing to ask the county to help clean up and repair the vil-lage’s transfer site.
The county advised Big Valley that as a partner in the transfer site, all the vil-lage has to do is contact the county for assistance. However, since the village has not had a representative on the Waste Management Committee in several years, it would explain why they were not aware of the ease to request assistance. It was recommended that the vil-lage appoint someone to the board, and in the meantime, the county would come and help repair and clean up the transfer site.
Internet requestCCI Wireless made a pre-
sentation to council, ask-ing for council’s support in seeking funding from the government so it could build towers in the area to help shore up the Stettler area’s weak Internet access.
Since the area has been recognized as a low-level of Internet service, county councillors heard, it’s pos-sible for CCI Wireless to apply for government grants to help cover the cost of increasing its presence in the area.
While councillors were in favour of CCI Wireless ex-panding into Stettler county and providing more Internet accessibility to its constitu-
ents, it could not support the request.
If the county supported CCI Wireless, the delega-tion was told, it would be required for it to support all other Internet compa-nies like Shaw and Telus. It could not show favour to one over the other.
Tower Road speed limit changes
Council voted to lower the speed limit on part of Tower Road, citing new de-velopment in the area. Cur-rently, as Tower Road exits the Town of Stettler and travels into Stettler County, the speed limit is 60 km/h,
before increasing to 80 km/h. The 80 km/h section will have its limit lowered to 60 km/h to match the rest of the road, as well as increase safety for the resi-dents of the new develop-ment.
Some residents along Tower Road wrote to the county to complain about increased traffic along the route. Tower Road is an al-ternate trucking route, but with additional construc-tion happening on the main route, traffic has increased, it was noted.
This is expected to die down once construction is complete.
County awards $4M gravelling contract
continued on front page“We need to get this implemented,” added vice-chair
Dave Goodwin. “We can’t drag this on and on and on and on and on.”
Speaking to the Independent this week, chair Ken Checkel said he believes the schools have few issues at present, but added that this is an opportunity to address some concerns and make improvements.
A report commissioned by the division and completed in February 2014 indicated that the schools’ configura-tion did not have a significant impact on students’ educa-tional achievement, said Checkel.
“It’s not like the whole system in Stettler is broken at all,” he said, framing the question as, “How can we make a good thing better?”
Checkel also said during Thursday’s meeting that if the board can make changes to improve the way the schools work, it needs to do so.
“This is not new, but we are the ones who are respon-sible for it,” he said. “We’re the ones who can change it.”
Currently, students in Stettler attend the elementary school from Kindergarten to Grade 5, middle school from grades 6 to 8, and William E. Hay Composite High School from grades 9 to 12. (The outreach school also accepts students from grades 7 through 12.)
This configuration has caused some issues when stu-dents from other schools in the division graduate into William E. Hay. Clearview’s schools in Big Valley, By-emoor, Donalda and Erskine offer Kindergarten to Grade 9.
This means that students either graduate from their ru-ral schools and start at William E. Hay in Grade 10, or leave their rural schools (and classmates) behind a year early to start William E. Hay in Grade 9 with Stettler
students. Either way, several trustees said, the transition into
high school is often awkward, and can have repercus-sions in other areas, such as Career and Technology Stud-ies programs, sports teams and extracurricular activities.
The province’s public school curriculum currently supports a different division of grades: Kindergarten to Grade 3, grades 4 to 6, grades 7 to 9 and grades 10 to 12.
The configuration can also lead to budgetary issues, as funding for Stettler students is allocated between the four schools.
Checkel acknowledged that the middle school “tends to miss out” as, unlike the elementary and high schools, it has limited means for obtaining additional funds above the basic provincial funding.
“We just don’t have that flexibility to move funding around that easily,” he explained this week.
Meanwhile, the current arrangement for the outreach school means its enrolment, and thus its staffing levels, can fluctuate appreciably from year to year.
At present, the elementary school and middle school are overseen by one principal, Sharon Fischer, an ar-rangement that could prove challenging over a longer period of time and poses a risk to affect staff morale, according to a memo from Barron.
Other concerns raised by trustees at Thursday’s meet-ing included issues with the Stettler complex itself, the sharing of resources and facilities between the schools, and difficulties in co-ordinating programs and schedules.
Checkel said this week that he approves of the work being undertaken, noting that it addresses one of the pri-orities established by the board this fall, and added that he’s looking forward to seeing what the superintendent brings back to the board next year.
Superintendent to review issueswith Stettler schools

The bird was the word for parents and young kids visiting the Stettler Public Library last week.
The library marked Thanksgiving with Turkey Day, a morning of crafts and games for children aged two through five, held on Friday, Oct. 10 in the Discovery Annex.
Kim Tanner, who organized Friday’s event, said she was pleased with the turnout, noting that about 85 people showed up, including both children and their caregivers.
Kids had a host of turkey-related activities to check out, from pinning the tail on the turkey, to using paints to create a hand-shaped turkey with colourful finger feathers.
“It was very well-attended,” said Tanner, adding that she plans to continue with monthly themed events for parents and young children.
The next event is scheduled for Nov. 21 from 10:30 a.m. to noon, with a winter theme that will be incor-porated into the crafts and games offered.
Tanner also organizes the library’s Read and Rhyme program, held each Tuesday and Wednesday begin-ning at 10:30 a.m., featuring songs, crafts and rhymes targeted at kids between zero and five years of age.
The program is free of charge, and there are plans to start a similar offshoot program at the school in Botha, said assistant library manager Crystal Friars.
Friars said the programs are ideal for instilling a love of learning in young children, adding that it’s good to “start them early so they’ll be a library lover for life.”
The library has several events planned for the end of October, including a Halloween Comic Fest for kids aged 12 and up on Oct. 25, and a Monster Bash for the whole family on Oct. 30. For further details, please see the library column elsewhere in this issue.

Board approves sound fix for Erskine gymJoel van der Veen
INDEPENDENT REPORTER
Clearview Public Schools trustees have given the green light for renovations to improve the sound qual-ity in the Erskine School gymnasium.
The work — estimated to cost $45,000 — will in-volve placing 200 panels along the walls of the gym to reduce sound reverbera-tion to the two-second limit mandated by Alberta Edu-cation.
The board approved a motion to go ahead with the work at its regular meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9, rough-ly a month after asking as-sociate superintendent Peter Neale to seek additional quotes.
Neale told the board on Sept. 11 that the gym had failed to pass acoustic tests. Sounds in the gym were reverberating for up to six seconds, well above the provincial standard of two seconds.
The gym has recently re-
ceived $92,000 in renova-tions carried out after it was discovered that pieces of in-sulation were coming loose and falling through the wooden slats on the ceiling. Drywall was installed on the ceiling and the wooden slats were reinstalled under-neath.
The board approved the necessary work to bring the gym within provincial stan-dards, but took exception to the cost.
Neale returned to the board on Oct. 9 with a sec-ond quote for a different ap-proach that would involve installing panels on the ceil-ing.
He said this approach would take four to six weeks, would require the removal of the wood slats on the ceiling, and would cost between $225,000 and $275,000.
Neale added that a third quote was being sought, but noted, “There’s not a lot of companies that do this in Alberta.”
Trustee Cheri Neitz urged
the board to move forward with the original quote, pro-vided by Edmonton-based Acoustic Solutions.
Neitz reported that due to the gym’s poor acoustics, Erskine’s teachers are cur-rently holding most of their physical education classes outdoors.
Neale informed the board that additional funding could be used to improve the sound quality beyond what’s required, remind-ing them that up to $75,000 was available in the capital budget.
“This solution is very modular,” he explained. “They can add more panels if they want.”
The board approved spending up to $45,000 to address the situation, not-ing that additional funding could be approved if neces-sary at a later point. Results from William E. Hay
During the same meet-ing, trustees were pre-sented with the 2013-2014 diploma examination and
provincial achievement test results from the students of William E. Hay Composite High School.
Rob Rathwell, the divi-sion’s co-ordinator of ad-ministrative and instruc-tional support, presented the results with some caveats, noting that several students were exempted from certain exams in June following a school tragedy that month.
This, according to the re-port, had an “unknown ef-fect” on the results, as up to 52 students were exempted from taking exams in Eng-lish 30-1 and 30-2, Social Studies 30-1 and 30-2, and Chemistry 30.
“It’s really going to skew some results,” said Rath-well, adding, “Until the su-perintendent (Peter Barron) has a chance to talk to (prin-
cipal Norbert) Baharally, we won’t know the full ex-tent of that.”
The results indicated positive outcomes, as in all recorded courses, the per-centage of students meet-ing the provincial standard in 2013-2014 was either “significantly above” or “not significantly different from” the previous three-year average.

The Donalda and District Museum is looking back at the region’s past as it hosts “Tales of the Past,” a dinner theatre produc-tion.
On Saturday, Oct. 18, the Museum will host a dinner theatre production as its annu-al fundraiser, which will feature three local actors performing as pioneers telling tales of their adventures in settling the areas.
Bob Willis will perform as Gabriel Du-mont, a Métis man who fled the persecution of the Red River Settlement and settled in Alberta, while Chris Jenson will perform as James Gadsby, an American man who fled to Canada to avoid the law, and turned his life around.
It wasn’t just men who helped open the west, though, and Nora Smith will play the part of Alice Rogers, a phone operator in
the area.“I know Bob and Nora do great perfor-
mances,” Darlene Tantrum, one of the mu-seum members, said. “Chris is newer but he’s told a great story.”
The tickets for the evening are $40, and include the performances and a hot roast beef dinner, which is being prepared by the museum’s board.
“It’ll be a great home-cooked meal,” Tantrum said.
The doors open at 5 p.m., with dinner be-ing served at 6 p.m., she said, explaining that the tales will come between the vari-ous activities of the evening, which include both live and silent auctions.
This is the first time the museum has held this dinner theatre performance as its an-nual fundraiser. Last year, they had Gary Fjellgaard, a country music performer, entertain.

Canadians might be surprised to learn that 86 families now hold more wealth than the poorest 11.4 million Canadians. Is this a Canada to be proud of? Hardly.
According to many studies, the Canadian poverty rate remains high. A recent OECD report shows that the very rich are taking an ever greater share of income. And a new study from three leading Canadian academics shows the rich obscure the total extent of their individual wealth through private companies, which means they are even richer than we thought.
Why should we care?Because poverty and inequities
hurt all of us in the long run. They erode social cohesion and create a burden on all taxpayers to pay for poverty reduction, healthcare ser-vices, unemployment, crime and homelessness.
Our economic system and well-being are at risk of serious deterio-ration unless we take action now.
Here’s what the evidence says about the devastating outcomes of poverty: poorer health, more chron-ic disease, more avoidable deaths, social injustice, increasing demand and costs for healthcare services and reduced productivity of the workforce. On a large scale and over the long-term, inequality can also slow the economy and erode democracy, political and social sta-bility.
Those in the bottom half of the economic pecking order with stag-nant incomes grow resentful, en-vious, hopeless and distrustful of business leaders and governments. And so we have social unrest such as the Occupy movement.
How did we get here?For years, most Canadian gov-
ernments have followed an agenda based on austerity. They have low-ered taxes and cut social programs to balance budgets with a focus on economic growth and “trickle down” economics. The 2014 report of the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer shows that cuts to income tax, GST, corporate taxes and others amount to governments having $30 billion less to spend per year. For the most part, this has meant fewer income supports for the poor and inadequate invest-ments in social housing, early child development, education, healthcare
and infrastructure development (with the exception of the federal stimulus program in response to the 2008 recession).
The wealthy have become wealthier with the help of a higher rate of returns on capital (over in-comes), tax breaks for capital gains and wealthy estates, and inad-equately controlled offshore bank-ing.
Economist superstar Thomas Piketty points out that these flaws in our economic system are not a reason to abandon the system it-self, which has also led to abundant innovation and wealth creation. The solution is rather to moderate the excesses of the system so that prosperity is more equitably shared by the entire population. Even the IMF, which has pushed austerity agendas for decades, has recently stated that growing inequity is bad for economies and judicious redis-tribution is beneficial for economic growth.
Research has shown that coun-tries such as Iceland, Poland and Sweden, which have invested in so-cial programs like health and edu-cation in the last decade, have made better recoveries following the re-cession than those that followed an “austerity” agenda.
Economists call what we need “a judicious redistributive approach” - that is, to raise government rev-enues via natural resources, taxes on the wealthy (income, estates, capital), regulation of offshore tax havens, and taxes on externalities,
such as pollution, tobacco, alcohol and sugar. Governments should di-rect these revenues toward social investments such as income sup-port, education, healthcare and in-frastructure.
The business community also has a role. Businesses can help re-duce poverty and inequities by pay-ing their share of corporate taxes and having a triple bottom line - people, planet and profits - with a living wage for their staff, co-own-ership and profit sharing policies. The public as consumers can vote with their wallets and support such progressive businesses.
We are paying dearly for inac-tion. It would cost taxpayers less to eradicate poverty than to continue to pay for poverty-related policing, corrections, housing and health-care. In B.C., the estimated cost to implement a poverty reduction plan is $4 billion annually, according to the Canadian Centre for Policy Al-ternatives. Right now, poverty costs the province up to $9.2 billion per year.
Businesses and governments must take measures now to reduce poverty and inequities. It is time for concerned citizens to demand ac-tion.

Womens’ golf at the Stettler Golf Club has come to a close for another season, one that volunteer co-ordinator Winnie Bis-sett said was a success.
“About 36 people (were in the league) this year,” she said, explaining that while the number fluctu-ates back and forth annual-ly, the number is about on par with where it has been in the past several years.
The womens’ league
runs from late spring until the end of summer, with women meeting every Tuesday night to golf. Ac-cording to Bissett, while the night is about golf, it ends up being much more.
‘It’s golfing,” she said, “but it’s still a lady’s night out.”
The season starts with a potluck feast and ends on a high note as awards are handed out to members, from qualifiers as simple as perfect attendance to more competitive qualifiers such as league champions.
“The league is open to all ages,” Bissett said, saying she’s neither the youngest nor the eldest, and that there’s room for more women who enjoy or want to learn to play golf.
“Stettler is a great learn-ing golf course,” she said. “It’s not too hilly.”
She complimented the groundskeepers who cre-ated a wonderful playing pitch this year, noting that the golf course greens were “in great shape.”
With the womens’ league done for the year, they won’t meet until late April or early May to plan out the next season, which gets underway in May 2015.

The Stettler Ladies’ Golf League gathered recently to celebrate a great golfing season for the girls. Pictured here, from left, are Carolyn Skaley (perfect attendance), Donna McKay (perfect attendance), Winnie Bissett (club champion and match play champion), Lynn Tomkulak (most points) and Atie Turnbull (perfect attendance). Missing are Mary Ann Awe (perfect attendance) and Leona Thorogood (most improved).
Part 2Oregon has a diverse ag-
ricultural economy claim-ing the production of over 200 commodities. That makes agriculture the sec-ond largest sector of their economy at $5.4 billion, although that contribu-tion remains fairly invis-ible. The state government seems to want to portray itself as a destination for manufacturing, tourism and high tech businesses. That approach seems to have spawned a “green” state approach with the usual anti-chemical and anti-commercial farming attitude.
That means more regu-lations and aggravation for resource industries. Forestry has been hard hit with a 90% reduction in timber harvesting on fed-eral lands. Yet the state remains a major producer of softwood lumber. With
its vast volcanic basalt base it’s not big in min-ing - producing only pum-ice, sand, gravel and some precious metals and gem-stones.
Much of Oregon ag-riculture is based on the large production of a few commodities like wheat, cattle, hay and commer-cial crops like onions. It’s fascinating to see dozens of semi-trailer loads of onions lining up at pro-cessing facilities. Much of that large-scale produc-tion is due to massive irri-gation projects fed by the Columbia River. There seems to be more land available for such irriga-tion, but such intensive type commercial agricul-ture is probably not seen as desirable by “green” minded politically-cor-rect urban-based politi-cians. There also seems to be a rivalry between
Portland and Seattle as to which has the most high tech and research indus-tries and which is the greenest. Such competi-tion tends to see resource industries and agriculture getting lost in the process.
The state is a large producer of grass seed particularly fescue, inter-estingly the other large growing area for fescue is the Peace River district of Northern Alberta and BC - 1,500 km away.
Oregon is the second largest producer of hops,
which explains why the city of Portland has the largest per capita num-ber of breweries in North America. To add to that, Oregon has the third larg-est number of vineyards in the country at over 300. All of that beer and wine production seems to have resulted in some of the most lenient liquor laws in the country. Many stores, including museum gift shops, have wine or other alcohol for sale. It’s not unusual to see $6 bottles of wine for sale. It’s hard to see how vineyards can be viable with such low wine prices.
The biggest sector of the Oregon economy seems to be the service industry particularly the tourism sector. That would include out of state retirees and
vacation home owners. Much of the Oregon coast is covered with beach front homes owned by folks from less scenic and colder climate areas. What is astonishing in Oregon is the very high quality of the roads. It seems that pot-holes and gravel roads are illegal in the state. That may be an intentional and clever government policy, being it puts a positive perspective of the state in the minds of tourists and visitors. One dubious note is the inclusion of bicycle lanes on some busy main highways – that seems a rather dangerous develop-ment for bikers and driv-ers alike – just to appease a green lobby.
One of the unique geo-logic features of Oregon is the presence of the largest ocean-front sand dunes in North America. Much of it is open to public rec-reational use and is a big tourist attraction – but its future is in peril. A hun-dred years ago the dunes were wide-open, but now much of it is covered with grass, brush and trees. In some area up to fifty per-cent of the dunes are lost
to unwanted vegetation. It all started years ago with the introduction of Eu-ropean beach grass that has literally taken over beaches and dunes in the state. The government has admitted something needs to be done to halt the in-festation, but doesn’t like the obvious control mea-sures – that being herbi-cides, soil sterilants and fire. As befitting the green approach – endless studies have been initiated to find alternative control mea-sures. Perhaps they should hire a few thousand hip-pies to mow the nuisance beach grass with wind powered grass cutters!
Curiously with all the emphasis on the green approach in Oregon – ap-provals have been given for pipelines and a port terminal for the export of vast quantities of lique-fied natural gas (LNG) to Asia. That would be in direct competition to pro-posed LNG export proj-ects in BC. Most of that gas would be pipelined in from – you guessed it – Alberta. It all boggles the mind – Oregon is an inter-esting state indeed.

Has everybody figured out their costumes yet? We have been discussing cos-tumes here at the Stettler Public Library so that we can be ready for Halloween. It’s going to be a surprise for everyone. But we are ex-pecting everyone to dress up for these two library events: Halloween ComicFest and the Monster Bash.
On Saturday, Oct. 25 at 1 p.m., kids ages 12 and up are invited to our Hallow-een ComicFest. There will be prizes for best costumes. We will also have snacks and free comics to entice you to join in the fun. Plus we will be Skyping with the lead animator of the Teen-age Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.

I used to think that peo-ple complain because they have problems, however, I’ve inverted that view somewhat. People often have problems because they complain!
Complaining doesn’t change or improve any-thing. It amplifies frus-tration and highlights discontent. Psalm 77:3 corroborates this saying, “I complained and my spirit was overwhelmed.”
Conversely, the giving of thanks is uplifting and can facilitate effective problem-solving and posi-tive steps forward. Lois Kaufman’s letter to Jesus, following her husband’s death and her bout with cancer, powerfully attests to this.
“Dear Jesus, I’ve written a lot of “Thank Yous” late-ly, but this is my first one to you. Until now I didn’t appreciate your gifts to me these past several months.
Thank you for taking Don home to be with you. Now I’ll never be con-cerned with what the future holds for him. His days are guaranteed. Thank you for giving him such a wonder-ful Christmas. Thank you for making his birthday that last Sunday his best ever.
Thank you for putting me in the hospital three weeks after he died and showing me the way you could use his death in my life. I wasn’t always sure how to approach oth-ers with the Gospel. But now you have given me so many openings, I can hardly handle them all.
Thank you for my most recent surgery and for the lessons it taught me. Es-pecially for showing me how much I needed you. Thanks for letting me see what it is like to face sur-gery and suffering without you as I watched the dif-ference in the lives of my roommates.
Thank you for the les-sons Becky and Lori (her daughters) have learned from this. I could never have taught them the way you did. That’s because of the great Teacher you are. I can’t wait to see what you give them on their heavenly report cards.
You know, Jesus, I wouldn’t have planned my life this way. In fact, I would have planned it just the opposite. I would have
sought to avoid death’s knock. I would have ducked out on the surger-ies and tried to pretend that Christians were kept well by you all the time. But I would have missed out on so much.
The kids are sorry they couldn’t be with their dad on Father’s Day, but we were glad he could be with both his earthly and Heav-enly Father this year.
Oh, I could go on with this letter, but I could never cover everything I have to thank you for. So I’ll send more, but for now please accept this as a beginning. With Thanksgiving, Lois”
“Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his stead-fast love endures forever” (Psalm 136:3).
Happy belated Thanks-giving!

Stettler honoured some of its best and brightest young minds last week as William E. Hay Composite High School held its annu-al awards night.
The program attracted a full house to the Stettler Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Oct. 10.
Principal Norbert Bah-arally, who served as em-cee, noted that a total of $136,000 in scholarships, bursaries and awards was presented this year to 142 recipients.
“This truly is a celebra-tion of outstanding perfor-mances in many aspects,” said Baharally.
Staff member Dawn McKay, who was respon-sible for organizing much of the program, took a mo-ment during the ceremony to recognize the sponsors and supporters who fund the awards, some of which have been presented to stu-dents for decades.
McKay herself was hon-oured with flowers in ap-preciation for her 44 years in education and for her contributions to Friday’s program.
“It’s almost a full-time job for many days in Sep-tember,” McKay said of the efforts needed to or-ganize the awards show, while Baharally credited her with helping the pro-gram run like a “well-oiled machine.”
The longest-running award — the Beulah and Lester Lohr Scholarship, which has been present-ed annually since 1963 — was presented by the couple’s granddaughter, Evelyn Strandquist. This year’s recipient was Brit-tany McKay.
Two scholarships were presented in memory of Andrew Nibourg, who died in an auto collision in June, just days after his graduation from William E. Hay.
The “Average Andrew” Scholarship was presented by student Erin Yaremcio to Justin Dadensky. The Andrew Nibourg Schol-arship was presented by Mary Ann Baltimore to
Corey Garbutt. Clearview Public
Schools superintendent Peter Barron and trustee Cheri Neitz were on hand to present Grade 12 hon-ours to 30 of last year’s graduates, and Alexander Rutherford Scholarships to 31 students from the 2013-2014 class.
New scholarships spon-sored by the William E. Hay class of 1964, which held a successful 50-year reunion earlier this year, were presented to Elly Bak, Cole Bailey, Meghan LaRose and Tamara Nooi-jen.
Graduate Jordan Bau-man was announced as this year’s recipient of both the Governor General’s Med-al, for the highest academ-ic average, and the Vera Hansen Scholarship. Bau-man is currently enrolled at the Donald School of Business at Red Deer Col-lege.
A full list of awards and recipients will be pub-lished in an upcomingissue of the Stettler Independent.

Joel van der VeenINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The students of Stettler Middle School were hon-oured for their achievements over the past year in a cere-mony last week. The school’s Academic Honours and Merit Awards Program was held Monday, Oct. 6 at the Stettler Performing Arts Centre, em-ceed by student council chair-person Myles Ecklund.
Speaking to the Indepen-dent later in the week, vice-principal Jeff Lee called the ceremony “a great night of recognizing academic and personal achievements among the students of Stettler Middle School.”
Lee noted that close to a third of the school’s students were honoured with either an award or a nomination.
He also noted that recipi-ents of the merit awards were honoured by the presenting teachers with brief speeches, highlighting their achieve-ments, and adding unique personal touches to the pro-gram.
Awards were presented by Clearview Public Schools of-ficials and trustees, SMS staff and supporters, members of the Alberta Teachers Associa-tion, and several local service clubs, including the Kinsmen and IODE.

Pat KelmERSKINE ENQUIRER
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had lots to eat.
The IOOF will be having
a fall supper of roast beef on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 4:30 to 7:30. The proceeds will go towards the ongoing renovations to the kitchen. Donations will also be
gratefully accepted.The walking path pro-
posed to be installed along the lake road is put on hold. The county is dragging their heels as to whether to put
down gravel or pavement. Their reasoning is that in the future, they may have to put a water line down that area and don’t want to dig up pavement.
But the drawback to gravel is that a snow blower wouldn’t be able to keep it clean in the winter so a bob-cat or tractor with a blade would have to be hired. It may be years before they put a water line down that road. I also asked about when the county was go-
ing to fill in the holes in the pavement in Erskine and was told that the squeaky wheel gets the grease so we have to phone in to the county and complain and then perhaps something will be done about it.
Our councillor, Joe Gen-dre, will arrange for a rate-payers meeting sometime in November and we will be able to get more informa-tion about these matters and a few others.
The CARA cross coun-
try run took place on Oct. 9 and our Erskine runners did very well. The results are as follows: Grade 6 girls: First was Ava Lee, second was Alandra Couch, 18th was Sydney Lepard, Grade 6 boys: Fifth was Marcus Laisnez, eighth was Zac Bryson, 13th was Carson Mottus; Grade 7 girls: First was Avery Chick; Grade 7 boys: First was Isaac Lee, 10th was Connor Robert-son; Grade 8 girls: Third was Jackson Squires, 18th was Meghan Mattach; Grade 9 girls: First was Gra-cie Morbeck and the Grade 9 boys 1st was Isaac Ni-bourg. So our students did very well. The CWAJHAA for the runners will be on Friday, Oct. 17 in Lacombe. Good Luck students!
Don’t forget magazine sales are still on so if you would like a subscription and haven’t been called on, please phone the school. Sales go until Oct. 22.
Congratulations to Dr. & Mrs. Charlie Bird on the birth of their great grand-son. Both the parents are English teachers and have named their baby Baywolf which is a very unusual name, but has great signifi-cance to his parents.
Laugh for today: It’s a sign of a woman growing older when she brushes a hair off her lapel and finds it’s attached to her chin.
Have a good week.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Hope you had a great weekend with the beauti-ful weather we had. I know I am still full of turkey and all the fixings; and, with that in mind, I will mention that the fall supper will be coming up on the first Saturday in November, which is also the opening day of hunting season; so get your bright col-ored jackets out.
Don’t be walking out in your field with a brown jacket and white toque on, not a good combination for this time of year.
Marilyn Trentham sent me some news on an information session coming for the Morrin Drop-in Center. A lady from Al-berta Health will be holding an informa-tion session on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 1:30 pm. Her topics will include Alberta seniors’ benefits, dental and optical assis-tance for seniors, special needs assistance and property tax deferral program. It is sure to be an informative session and all seniors are welcome.
Dariel McNaughton also emailed me that the historical society met recently and one of the things they decided was to re-duce the price of the 1982 edition of the
Rumsey History Book from $45 to $40 in order to clear out the remaining books. There are still lots available at the Rumsey Library, so stop by and pick one up. They are very informative about all the families that have come and gone in our commu-nity. Keep in mind that once the commit-tee has obtained their societal number and status, they will be able to proceed with the development of the new history book and will be looking for your story so plan to contribute to the book. It will only make it more interesting.
The 4-H beef club will be having their organizational meeting soon and welcome all new members. Your child has to be age 9 of the current year to start up, so keep that in mind as you sell your calves this fall, if your child is ready to join, save that great looking calf for her/him and give Jill Holowath or Melanie Nelson a call. There is also the Morrin Multi-club that incor-porates many smaller 4-H clubs. Gwen Hampton is the person to call to join there, so give her a call to see what is available. 4-H is one of the best organizations that offer the widest range of interests for
young people in rural communities, so take advantage of what they have to offer.
The Rumsey Library is busy with the production of this coming years’ calendar. The photos from the photo contest at the garden show were really great, so the 2015 calendar is shaping up to be a real beauty to hang on your wall or to give as a pres-ent to a family member or past resident of Rumsey. I hope to have them available by the fall supper for the same cost of $15 each. Otherwise, they will be available at the library from then on, stop by and pick one or two up.
Gwen Hampton spread the news that her Dad, Bert Johnson, is now back in Drumheller in continuing care, it is part
of the Drumheller Hospital Complex, down at the south end. He’s on Pioneer Lane – Room #P50. He has a private room looking out towards the river and would welcome visitors, so if you happen to find yourself in Drumheller, put it on your list to include a visit to Bert.
And last but not less, a joke to brighten your week: Martha had a parrot called Brutus, the only problem was that Brutus cussed something awful. Now Martha was having her in-laws over for Thanks-giving so she needed to train Brutus to stop swearing. Just before her mother-in-law was due, Brutus let loose with another long string of swear words and Martha was absolutely desperate. She grabbed him quickly and shoved him into the freezer for a couple of minutes to literally cool off. When she opened the door of the freezer and took out the parrot; the parrot looked absolutely shocked! Martha then asked the parrot. “Have you learned your lesson about cussing?’
Brutus the parrot took one look at the dead turkey laying in the deepfreeze and said: ‘Yup, I sure have!”

Louise BellairBOTHA BOOSTER
Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed their festive feast. The weather turned out fan-tastic to for those of us trav-eling it was appreciated.
Now seeing things are going back to normal, so has the school agenda. It’s time for everyone to get back to their nightly reading and agendas getting signed.
At the village office, the council agreed that reviews of the village bylaws are re-quired and time is set aside in the near future to begin the process with the un-sightly premises and truck route bylaws.
Council also signed a Memorandum of Agree-ment with the Minister of Municipal Affairs for the Federal Gas Tax Grant.
Following a detailed re-view of the Government Viability Review Question-nare, council will request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to conduct the via-bility review for the Village of Botha.
Seeing the church closed its doors a year ago last June 2012, some people have come together and do-nated to a great cause. They have had positive reactions to the idea of keeping the church as part of Botha community and opening the doors to sharing with the public a small, but very important part of our past. It sounds like the church will be becoming a museum.
This was a fantastic idea as some of Botha history was held here. On September 26,1909, 105 years ago, the church was dedicated. Also in 1923, primary classes were held in it, so it would be a great building to keep. A big thank you goes out to anyone and everyone who donated to this cause.
We are also looking for some new Bingo callers as come summer, we re-ally need your help please. Brenda is willing to train anyone to call and would re-ally appreciate if you could. Her phone number is 403-742-6241 if you would like to phone her and talk things over. This would very much be appreciated.
Quilting takes place for the first time again for an-other year, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the seniors’ centre. Please join the ladies there
than.Don’t forget the village
council meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23. Ev-eryone is welcome to at-tend.
On Friday, Oct. 10, a Cel-ebration of Life was held at the hall for Betty Hadwin, who passed away suddenly on Oct. 5 at the age of 72. Our sympathy and prayers go out to her husband, Frank Hadwin, their three daughters and their fami-lies, several other relatives and several close friends. She was a very kind and loving person and also a very active member of both Botha and Gadsby areas. She will be truly missed.
The next seniors’ meet-ing will be held on Monday, Nov. 3 starting at 12 noon. So they are hoping all se-niors can attend these very important meetings.

Quilting is back on track
Joel van der VeenINDEPENDENT REPORTER
Stettler Middle School students got a crash course in Canadian rock music his-tory last week courtesy of Whitehorse’s Speed Con-trol.
The three-piece band per-formed in the gym on the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 10, running through Can-Con classics from the 1950s to the 1990s.
Beginning with Paul Anka’s “Diana” and the Guess Who’s “Shakin’ All Over,” the band moved into the 1970s with April Wine’s “She Could Have Been a Lady.”
As the band led into Rush’s “Tom Sawyer,” singer and bassist Jody Peters gave the students a quick lesson on the band, lauding the size of Neil Peart’s drum kit and ex-plaining progressive rock as “20-minute songs that no one can understand.”
The band finished its ret-rospective with the Barena-
ked Ladies’ “One Week,” with Peters and his brother, guitarist and singer Graeme Peters, delivering the song’s rapid-fire lyrics.
In between songs, band members exchanged quips and trivia, and quizzed the school’s staff and students on rock history. They closed their show with their own song, “Tent City,” the final track on their most recent album, F.A.B., released in 2012.
The show was well-received by students and teachers alike, including Eric Rahn, the band teacher for both the middle school and William E. Hay Com-posite High School.
“That was an awesome way to present the history of Canadian rock,” said Rahn. “A lot of kids were really pumped about their story, about how they got into music and how they love doing it.”
Speed Control, which also includes drummer Ian March, tours for roughly seven months of the year, performing at schools dur-
ing the day and playing its own material at bars, fes-tivals and other venues on evenings and weekends.
The band also oper-ates rock camps during the summer, often in remote communities. The Pe-ters brothers, both former schoolteachers, said that playing in schools allows
them to combine their pas-sions for education and mu-sic.
“We like music too much not to do it,” said Jody, “so, we found a way to do both.”
Their path thus far has been a bumpy one at times. In 2010, their tour van caught fire in Fort MacMur-ray, and in mid-September, they lost $7,000 worth of
equipment when thieves broke into their trailer in Surrey, B.C.
The latter story had a happier ending, as sponsors Yamaha Canada replaced their PA equipment free of charge, while a crowdfund-ing campaign on Indiegogo has so far raised nearly half of its $5,000 goal to replace the remaining equipment.
The band has played for schools over the past three years, and Jody said that while younger students are easier to entertain — “kids love to scream” — older kids are harder to engage, since they’re often more concerned about what their peers will think if they see them enjoying the show.
“That’s my goal,” said Jody. “When I see them, I’m like, ‘I’m gonna get you. I’m gonna make you laugh.’”
“Usually,” said Graeme, “by the end we can win them over.”

An excerpt from the Big Knife to the Battle his-tory book: “One interesting thing they (Gadsby Omega Circle ladies) did was hold a handkerchief bazaar”. “The first bazaar was held No-vember, 1920. The whole community helped con-tribute to it and it was very successful.” “In 1928 the Circle decided they should have their bazaar earlier in the fall, before the weather got cold”. “The last Satur-day in October became the day for the annual Omega Circle Bazaar!”
This year marks the 94th annual bazaar, which will be held at the Gadsby Hall on Saturday, Oct. 25. Doors open 1 p.m.; bazaar will officially start at 2 p.m. There will be baking, crafts and white elephant tables, guessing game; fishpond and popcorn draws for the kids; pail prizes and the main raffle will be drawn. There is a minimal charge at the door and this will give you a chance at the door prize plus tea/coffee and cake, something for every-one.
Congratulations to our local award winners from Stettler Middle School: Brooke Glasier, Rebecca Bridge, Shayna Brower, Keyonna Derr, Sadie Di-egel, and Megan Kobi.
The Big Knife 4H Beef Club held its organizational meeting for the 2014/15 year with a new executive: Leader Denise Jacobson, president, Shayla Derr, vice president Junae Vent-nor, treasurer Tori Brower, parliamentarian Kassandra Diegel; historians Rylee Ja-cobson, Kathryn Dolliver, Mckenzie Hankins; club re-porter Keyonna Derr; lunch committee Jasmin Diegel and Tyson Brower; phone committee Bridget Skoc-dopole and Chase Dolliver. We wish you all a very suc-cessful and enjoyable year!

“Keep your eye on Donalda” was a statement in the Wetaskiwin Times news-paper from April, 1911. That was several months before the Village was incorpo-rated.
Donalda was located on the Calgary-Vegreville line of the Canadian Northern Railway. In April 1911 it was reported Donalda that “has the largest country to draw from of any town within a radius of 100 miles.” A bit of hyperbole perhaps but by all accounts Donalda was the centre of a very fertile farming district. As early as 1907 (long before Donalda was estab-lished) it was reported in the Wetaskiwin Times that the harvest was good that fall. Wheat averaged 20 to 25 bushels per acre, oats 40 to 60 bushels per acre.
By 1911 coal was being mined within half a mile of the Village from the rich strata in the Meeting Creek Coulee – a boon to settlers for their stoves and the railway for its trains.
There were three general stores, two lumber yards, a hardware store, three im-plement houses, a harness shop, and a drug store – all before the village was incorpo-rated. There was a need, the newspaper stated, for a grist mill, barber shop, news-paper and doctor.
Most essential was a boarding house and by April, 1911 a 40-room three-storey ho-
tel was being erected, the location of the present museum. The bar had room for 115 patrons. This hotel stood until it burned down in 1970 with the loss of one life.
Another smaller hotel fronting the rail-way burnt down in the summer of 1919; it was rebuilt and opened in the spring of 1920 by a new proprietor, Chris Jensen. Meals were 40 cents. J. W. Murphy’s hall was also lost in the same fire but he re-built a new hall on Main Street designed as a movie theatre. The first movie shown was “The Blinding Trail,” a drama starring Monroe Salisbury.
Happy Birthday this week to: Arynn Kathleen Sideritsch, Elizabeth Marshall, Hayley Anderson, Nicole Sideitsch, Leah Erickson, Anna Bailey, Colin Walker, Heather Blouin, Ken Norman, Linda Rider, Tracee Vikse, Chase Sutton, Kyle Charles, Randy Shepherd, Jesse Vikse, and Maisie Burlock.

It has been very exciting to watch as the Big Valley Historical Society’s new Tool Museum begins to be-come a reality. They have been hard at work pouring the foundations and floors in preparation for their building. We all hope the weather continues to coop-erate so they can assemble the building’s shell and work on their displays all winter. They hope to have everything far enough along to start opening up to the public by next summer. For those who have not had the privilege to see inside Rod Miller’s workshop, it is al-most impossible to fathom the sheer number of tools that will find their home in this new building. Rod has estimated there are about 10,000 individual tools but it would seem the number far exceeds this. This mu-seum will be the largest museum display of antique tools in Canada. There is still a lot of work ahead, but it is marvelous to see things finally happening.

Stettler Wildcats trav-eled to Ponoka to face off with Broncs on Thursday, Oct. 9 for the last regular season game, and dominat-ing the field throughout, returned home with an im-pressive 35-0 win.
The first quarter saw the Broncs defense hold off the initial advances of the vis-iting Wildcats, even forc-ing a few turnovers, but two minutes from the end of the quarter, Stettler’s Austin Rosland scored the first touch down and with the successful conversion Stettler boys took a 7-0 lead.
The beginning of the sec-ond quarter saw some re-vived attempts by the hosts but a second touchdown again by Rosland drowned the enthusiasm of the hosts leading to a complete dom-ination on the field by the visitors. The first half end-ed 14-0 for the Widlcats.
Throughout the second half, a better-coordinated and more efficiently orga-nized Wildcats team main-
tained possession without giving many chances to Broncs.
And that brought about an explosion of speed, tal-ent and athleticism by Kyle Lawrence, who scored all three touchdowns in the second half for the Stettler side.
Head coach Norbert Bah-arally, clearly ecstatic with the result said it was good to see both defense and special teams being able to score touchdowns.
“I think it went very well, we put together some nice drives and we were able to finish the drives,” Baharally said.
“When you have good balance of defense, offense and special teams, hope-fully good things are going to happen,” he added.
With Wildcats having placed third at the end of the regular season and the Broncs sixth, the two teams will play against each other again on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 4 p.m. in Stettler.
Wildcats will also be running a concession in support of the team during the game.

Lightning victorious on the roadStacey Lavallie
INDEPENDENT REPORTER
Coming off a week of straight losses, the Lightning needed a few wins to recover their verve, and found them in Mountain View and Banff with wins of 4-1 and 8-2, re-spectively.
The action started in Dids-bury on Saturday, Oct. 11, where the Lightning kept the puck out of their own net for the first two periods.
“We thought they were a bit of a free-wheeling team,” General Manager and Head Coach Doug Smith said. “We saw they had scored a lot of goals but they’d also given up a lot.”
With that in mind, the team played a strong defen-sive line, shutting down the Mountainview Colts, while keeping its offensive line on the go.
Jake Bottomley opened
the game for Stettler, slip-ping the puck past the Colts’ netminder with just less than eight minutes gone into the first. It was followed less than a minute later by a goal by assistant captain Adam Ternes.
The Lightning continued to strike, with the third goal coming a minute into the second period, this time at the hands of Dylan Houston.
“Sticking to the plan helped,” Smith said, say-ing that the team did a lot of checking that kept the Colts in their paddock.
It wasn’t until the third period that the Colts broke free, getting a goal past net-minder Simon Thieleman.
However, it was the only one Thieleman let past, and after another goal by Ternes, the game came to a success-ful 4-1 end for Stettler.
The weekend wasn’t done, so the boys travelled to Banff
to compete against the Banff Bears on Sunday, Oct. 12.
It was another morale-building trouncing handed out by the Lightning, as the team again kept the Bears from scoring until the third period.
“Banff was another team that scored points, but gave up a lot too, so the formula was the same,” Smith said.
The first period came to a close with neither team scor-ing, but the Lightning burst onto the ice on the second period and started pummel-ling the Bears’ goalie.
About a minute-and-a-half into the second, Bottomley scored, followed about four minutes later by Mark Di-etz, the team’s Captain. Bot-tomley returned to haunt the Bears’ netminder, scoring again, before Michael Neu-meier scored the last goal of the second, again for Stettler.
Banff got the jump on the Lightning in the third, scor-ing its first goal about four minutes into the third, but the Lightning answered with a goal from Dylan Houston on a powerplay about three minutes later.
Taking advantage of num-bers after Matt Johannson ended up in the penalty box for high sticking, the Bears’ scored its last goal of the game against Jordan McCal-lum – which was answered by two shorthanded goals from Reese Anheliger and Brendan Polson.
Houston sent home the last goal of the night, closing the rink down 8-2.
Stettler next plays in Ponoka on Wednesday, Oct. 15, and then in Red Deer on Saturday, Oct. 18. On Oct. 19, the Lightning come back to home ice for a Sunday matinee game, starting at 3:30 p.m.

Forty young runners from Stettler Middle School made a skillful showing at a cross-country meet last week in Castor.
Twenty-four girls and 16 boys from grades 6 to 8 took part in the CARA meet at Theresetta Catholic School on Thursday, Oct. 9, with several ranking in the top 10 for their respective categories.
Vice-principal Jeff Lee said that although the num-ber of students involved has declined from previous years, he was pleased with the results.
He applauded the achievements of students like Grade 6’s Sidney Kobi, who placed fourth for her grade despite having a late
start to her run. Students at Stettler
Middle School take part in cross-country running in their physical education classes, as well as in a club that meets after school.
“The kids have been working really hard in gym class and after school,” said Lee.
The school’s cross-coun-try coaches are Brett Nixon, Stefan Olafson and Karen Hataley.
Following are the results for the Stettler students who placed in the top 10 in their categories in Thursday’s meet.
Grade 6 girls: Sidney Kobi, fourth; Alearra Day Chief, eighth; Kara Wah-lund, ninth.

Stettler Midgets start wellMustafa Eric
INDEPENDENT EDITOR
Two Midget teams from Stettler faced off with Ponoka opponents over the weekend in one league and one preseason game, with the host Ponoka teams putting up a great effort but failing to win over the visitors.
In the league game on Friday, Oct 10, Stettler’s Legion Storm Blue tied 3-3 with Ponoka’s Fountain Tire Midget A Wolves in the competition of two well-matched squads.
The first period of the game started with both teams trying to impose their pace on the opponent but it was the hosts who opened scoring through Tyson Matejka halfway through the period. The score-board stood at 1-0 for the Ponoka side at the end of the first 20 minutes.
The visitors stepped up their game in the second with the Storm equalizing through Quade Cassidy in the first minute and taking the lead again with Cassidy 15 minutes later with a short-handed point. In this period the hosts found it difficult to stop the better skating Stettler team.
The period ended with the 2-1 lead for the Storm.
The third period was marked by a comeback effort by the Wolves who scored in quick succession. Matthew Klimec scored unassisted in the eighth minute and Jarret Henderson repeated the feat in less than 90 seconds, giving the lead to the hosts. But the Storm were not in the mood to give in and Matt Sylvester scored in power-play for the visitors ty-ing the game at 3-3.
The game between Stettler Midget C and Ponoka Midget B on Saturday, Oct.11 turned out to be a much rougher game de-spite being only a preseason match which saw the visiting Stettler side going home with a 7-1 win.
Although it was the Ponoka side that opened the scoring in the 9th minute of the first period through Braeden Korchin-ski, after that it was all visitors putting the numbers on the scoreboard until the end of the game. Captain Sreven Mac-Crea scored twice and so did Ryan Miel-ke, with Scott Verhoeven, Ryland Ste-fanik and Bradley Dads adding one each to the tally.

Winter is on its way, but roller derby enthusiasts in Stettler and area hope they won’t have to spend the season in hibernation.
The Heartland Roller-girls Association (HRGA) is looking for a facility that would allow its skat-ers to keep practising and holding meets during the winter months.
League president and skater Judy-Lyn Sylvester said the association found out this summer that they wouldn’t be able to contin-ue using their usual home, the Stettler Agriplex, as it will be used for horseback riding this winter.
“We’ve been looking for an alternative arena, but we haven’t been able to find one,” said Sylves-ter, who skates under the name Muffy Merkin.
The HRGA is partnered with the Central Alberta Roller Derby Association (CARDA), where they compete as the Pummel Marys, facing off against teams from Red Deer and Wetaskiwin.
The association would normally operate through-out the year, but without a winter home they will have to adapt to a shorter season.
Sylvester said it would
also be harder for the league to retain its exist-ing members or to attract new ones without a venue. The situation also makes it harder to fundraise, as much of the league’s fund-ing comes from hosting matches locally.
Despite these chal-lenges, the association has kept busy. Beginning in September they hosted a five-week training course for beginners, focusing on the basics of skating, rath-er than roller derby strat-egy or gameplay.
Group members have kept up their skills by skating outdoors, both on the paths throughout town and the new skate park that was recently completed.
The group has also been active in the community, organizing a highway cleanup last spring and hosting a pancake break-fast during the Kinettes/IODE rummage sale in September.
As explained on the CARDA website, roller derby is a contact sport played on roller skates, between two teams with up to 14 players each on an oval track.
The competition is made up of short “jams.” Each team has one jammer, to score points, and four blockers, who try to block the other team’s jammer. Points are scored when the jammer passes the hips of opposing players.
Sylvester said that to join the derby, skaters must pass a skills test, and it can sometimes take from one to three months before they’re ready to compete.
Derby enthusiasts refer to this as the “fresh meat” period.
The HRGA has been ac-tive for three years; Syl-vester said they had about seven skaters on the roster last year and were able to borrow skaters from their sister leagues.
She herself had been interested in roller derby and learned about the local league from an ad. Sylves-ter said the camaraderie of the team was a major part of the appeal to her.
“They’re very support-ive people,” she said. “I’ve never met a more support-ive network of people, to fall back on if you need it.”
Roller derby also offers physical benefits. Sylves-ter said that although the bodychecking back and forth can be brutal, it’s ex-citing for players to be al-lowed to give — and take — that punishment.
“It’s very empowering,” she explained. “As wom-en, we get to go out and be physical, and it’s OK.”
According to a Face-book post, the group is looking for an area that can house a track that is 53 feet by 88 feet in size, plus a buffer zone of about 10 feet between the track and the walls. The surface would need to be “skate-able” — that is, flat and smooth, like sealed hard-wood or concrete.
Sylvester said anyone interested in getting in-volved may contact any roller derby member, vis-it the Facebook page or check out heartlandroller-girls.com.

PEKRULClinton DarylMarch 14, 1925 - October 2, 2014
At the age of 89 years, our kind, gentle, humble Clint died in his sleep, leaving this earth to be reunited with departed loved ones. Born in Loverna, Saskatchewan, his early years were enjoyed at his family’s mixed farm, near Compeer, where he adopted his parent’s extreme work ethic. He was a dedicated pupil and inspired handyman with dubious success. Following a brief courtship, Clint was
captured by Mary Bernice Orchison. They married November 1, 1945. His trucking career commenced upon moving to Vancouver, British Columbia. Aversion to city life propelled them to Stettler in 1949, accompanied by their fi rst child LaVerne, with the addition of second daughter, Donna; in 1956 a son Gordon arrived. They graduated from the converted street car to newly build home in 1954; where they resided in that house until Bernice’s death in 2005 and Clint’s transfer to Points West Living in August of 2014.In 1981 Clint was honored as Alberta Trucking Association’s Truck Driver of the year, recognizing 32 years in the profession. In 1982, he received their Million Mile Honor Award for courteous, accident free driving.Clint is predeceased by his parents Albert and Minnie, his uncle Adolf Pekrul, daughter LaVerne and grandson Christopher. He is survived by daughter Donna and son Gordon (Linda); grandchildren: Colin (Jennifer), Michael (Liana) and Melanie; great grandchildren: Emily, Austin and Greyson; plus his favorite, furry felines; Agnes Orchison a long time cherished friend; many relatives and cherished friends.
And when we saw you sleepingso peaceful and free from pain,
we could not wish you backto suffer that again.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 1:00 PM at the Heartland Chapel of Stettler Funeral Home & Crematorium with Rev. Barbara Lieurance offi ciating. Musician Elaine Hennel played for Evelyn Shursen as she sang “I Was There To Hear Your Borning Cry” as well as for the hymns and prelude music. Granddaughter in law Jennifer presented tributes written by Donna and Gordon. Clinton was laid to rest in the Lake View Cemetery with Honorary Pallbearers as Kendall Bignell, Stan Wesner, Ted and Viola Wettlaufer, his trucker friends and Pallbearers as Gordon Pekrul, Colin Pekrul, Michael Pekrul, Melanie Pekrul, Wayne Carstairs and David Carstairs. Family and friends gathered in the Heartland Reception Centre for a time of fellowship and a luncheon served by Teresa’s Catering. Memorial donations may be made to Alberta Mental Health, Points West Living Cottage D or a charity of your own choice.

The housing market has begun to heat up thanks to an economy on the rebound. Few peo-ple aspire to rent for life, and home ownership is a dream shared by both natives and immigrants who came to the country seeking a better life.
Each year the National Association of Realtors compiles a profi le of buy-ers and sellers that docu-ments trends in the real estate market. Although the majority of fi rst-time home buyers identify as
white, the next largest group are Hispanics, who account for 11 per cent of the market of fi rst-time home buyers.
The rapidly growing Hispanic population is infl uencing all areas of modern living, including real estate. Estimates suggest that, between now and 2020, Hispan-ics, the second largest ethnic group in America, will account for 50 per cent of new home buyers.
Over the last three de-cades, two of every fi ve
newcomers to the hous-ing market were His-panic, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Pro-fessionals. In addition to needing assistance fi nd-ing their dream homes, Hispanic buyers also may need help securing loans to fi nance their upcoming home purchases.
Just this year ezDinero.com launched a multi-national online alternate lending solution that helps fi rst-time borrow-ers connect with top ex-
perts who specialize in personal loans. The com-pany works directly with the Spanish-speaking market and serves as a mediator between lend-ers and borrowers. The service is one of the few reputable online compa-nies that can help fi rst-time borrowers fi nd fi nan-cial solutions that meet their exact specifi cations and connect them with the top lenders in the in-dustry.
Marina H. Gonzales, Director of Public Rela-tions at ezDinero, states that there is a need for
this type of bilingual service for the Span-ish-speaking audience, which is underserved in the United States.
“ezDinero was created with the intent of giving the Spanish-speaking population an opportuni-ty to meet their personal lending needs, especially for fi rst-time borrowers,” Gonzales said.
This alternative lending solution is not the only option available to His-panics. Some people fi nd success through gov-ernment assistance and grant programs geared
toward the Hispanic com-munity. The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Profession-als can be an excellent resource for further in-formation, instructing people on how to apply for loans, secure lower interest rates and qual-ify for loans even if you have a poor or brief credit history.
Hispanics wield more infl uence in the United States than ever before, and more and more His-panics are making that infl uence known in the real estate market.

Great learning experience for kindergarten studentsOur Early Learning
Program students enjoyed stuffing their own scare-crows with real straw.
The look of surprise on their little faces, when they realized what fun, and what a mess they could make- on purpose, was priceless!! Mrs. Laurie-Ann Niehaus, our crafty aide, prepared the burlap sack bodies and gathered straw from a
field. There was the lin-gering fragrance of straw in the classroom so the students had a total sen-sory experience as they prepared for the Thanks-giving weekend.
Our Grade 1 teacher team, Mrs. Sylvester, Mrs. Limpert, Mrs. Jackson, and Mrs. Lang hosted an informative home reading information night for all Grade 1 parents. Thank-
you to the more than 50 parents and grandpar-ents who attended. Mrs. Fox’s Grade 5 class has paired with Mrs. Sylves-ter’s Grade 1 class for the “reading buddies” pro-gram. They meet once a week and both classes are loving this experience.
Mrs. Jackson’s Grade 1 class made bird treats to take home and hang from a tree, so the birds can en-
joy a Thanksgiving meal, too.
Kindergarten classes were very excited to take part in a bus safety presen-tation with Mrs. Michelle Pinder.
They learned how to cross in front of the bus, how to sit in the seats properly, how to get on and off the bus safely, how to get off the bus in an emergency and how the emergency exits work. They then went for a short ride to explain what the bus driver does at uncon-trolled railway crossings. It was a wonderful learn-ing experience.
A fun rock band named Speed Control was at SES on Friday and performed songs through the eras. All the songs were from Canadian bands that have been popular through-out the years. We heard songs from ‘The Guess Who’, ‘Bare Naked La-dies’, ‘Rush’, and ‘April Wine’. Both our teach-ers and our kids loved the performance.

On Tuesday Oct. 7th, the honours breakfast was held to celebrate the aca-demic success of those who received hon-ours in the 2013-2014 school year. There were 28 Grade 9 recipients, 23 Grade 10 recipients, and 36 Grade 11 recipients. On Friday, Oct. 10, Wm. E. Hay held its an-nual fall awards evening. Many students were recognized with awards that ranged from community service, academics and post secondary. Thousands of dollars were handed out to the students. The con-tributions from the Stettler community are greatly appreciated and will go a long way in furthering the education of the youth of Stettler Congratulations to all the recipi-ents!
And last but not least, jazz band has started both in the middle school and the high school. Come out and join on Thurs-days at lunch. That’s all for this week.

Elli Anderson & Abbey Bohn, Grade 8 Students
Last Friday Oct. 3, two teachers from Christ-King School took a trip to the Archdiocese of Edmonton, Pastoral Offices. They went for an evening of celebra-tion for the Sacramental Education Initiative Pilot Groups. They spent an eve-ning with our Archbishop, to celebrate the successes of the pilot groups, in which our small school is apart of. Our Archbishop Smith talk-ed about the importance of communion between par-ish, home, and school.
On Wednesday Oct. 8, the Christ-King Charger girls faced off against the Stettler Middle School Cougars, and the Erskine Extremes. Despite good efforts, and some close scores, the girls conceded all games. The boys played well against Erskine and Stettler Middle School as well, and did great! They ended up be-ing victorious in four out of six games. These games are helping the Chargers to prepare for the upcoming C.A.R.A. tournament on Nov.1. Great job Chargers!
This week was the C.A.R.A. Running Meet. It was the last cross-coun-try run of the year. Many
students competed in this event, but unfortunately, came home with no rib-bons. The cross-country meet took place at There-setta School in Castor.
“This track was a real course,” said the coach, Mrs. Pinkoski. There were hills and slippery spots. The runners also had to run through a field. Noah Greidanus, Gage Bolstad, Charlotte Walker, and Ja-kob Hein ran in the 2km fun run. Hannah Canlas, Darius Payne, Joel Gustav-son, Jesse Jarmin, and Josh De Guzman ran in the 2km.
“All of them ran very well!” said Mrs. Pinkoski. We are all very proud of this year’s cross-country runners!
Spirit Squad has kicked off this year, with great suc-cess! The squad is made up of students from grades 6-9. Upcoming events that the Spirit Squad have been working on for the month of October are: School Co-lour Day on Oct.17, Black and Orange day on Oct. 21, and on Oct.31 they are encouraging everyone to come in their Halloween costumes!
The first Junior-High dance for Christ-King will be held on Friday, October 17, from 7-10pm! All grade
6-9s are welcome from sur-rounding areas! There will be a DJ, a concession, and some great music! We hope to see everyone there!
Mass will also take place on Oct. 17 at 9am at Christ-King Catholic Church. Stay tuned Stettler!
Classroom Sneak PeakTaking a look into the
