Each story was different, but the mes-sage was the same: it’s sometimes hard to appreciate what we’ve got until we really need it.

The stories were told by patients and their families, people who have experi-enced the level of health care available in Stettler first hand. For some, it made the difference between life and death.

“Without a doubt, I’m here tonight be-cause of the Stettler hospital and staff,” said Robert “Buzz” Andersen, who re-ceived emergency care after suffering a heart attack.

Krista Dryden, who was taken to hospi-

tal after suffering a gunshot wound in May 2012, shared her memories of the ordeal, saying, “Thank God we have the services we do in Stettler.”

The stories served to illustrate why a crowd of close to 200 had gathered for a gala event at the Stettler Community Hall on Saturday, Oct. 25.

The evening served as the launch for “An Affair for the Heart,” a $1-million campaign led by the Stettler Health Ser-vices Foundation (SHSF) to fund capital renovations and expansion of local health facilities.

The foundation’s chair, Leona Thoro-good, told the crowd that, aside from the dialysis unit, the Stettler Hospital and

Care Centre hasn’t seen any major physi-cal improvements in three decades.

“We pass by those walls, thinking, all must be well, someone must be taking care of it,” said Thorogood, adding that as the province struggles to meet demand in urban centres, rural health facilities are often overlooked.

To maintain and improve those facili-ties, she said, communities need to be proactive, and the foundation is taking the lead with its new campaign.

Reeve Wayne Nixon of the County of Stettler, who said grace for the meal, com-mended the SHSF for its efforts to advo-cate on the region’s behalf.

Stettler community rec-ognized the successful businesses and outstanding citizens of the 2014 with the traditional gala event on Thursday, Oct. 23 as orga-nized by the Stettler Board of Trade and Community Development.

Male Citizen of the Year award went to Bob Willis, Erin Prehn was recognized as the Female Citizen of the Year and Maggie Mac-Kenzie was rewarded for her community volunteer and church activities by be-ing declared the Youth Citi-zen of the Year.

Several entities were rec-ognized for their contribu-

tion to the development and growth of Stettler business community with Business of the Year award going to Wells Furniture while Heartland Glass received the Small Business of the Year award.

The full list of recipients of the annual awards will be listed and the details of

the award ceremony will be published in a special supplement to next week’s edition of The Independent.

In addition to the tra-ditional business awards, Heartland Beautification

Committee recognized community members pro-moting environmental sen-sibilities in three categories. In the individual/household category Carolyn Victor re-ceived the recycling award.

In the business category Re-Glycol was rewarded for their extensive contribution to recycling as a thriving business and Superfluity, a non-profit organization recycling everything from clothing to blankets and contributing to the commu-nity with $73,000 through purely volunteer work was awarded in the institutional category.

The Male Citizen of the Year Bob Willis received further recognition by the Community Futures East Parkland, an organization on whose board Stettler was represented by Wil-lis since 2006. As Willis decided to step down as a board member, Community Futures asked the outgoing board member to identify a community organization to receive a $900 donation, $100 for each year served on the board. Willis nomi-nated East Central Alberta Heritage Society for the contribution of funding.

A capacity crowd filled the Stettler United Church hall on Sunday, Oct. 26, for the annual fall supper.

Organizer Elpha Sentz estimated that around 400 people partook in the meal, with newcomers claiming seats as soon as they became available.

“It was a steady crowd, for sure,” added Joan Baltimore. “It usually is a good turnout.”

The main hall of the church’s Chris-tian Education wing quickly filled up, and some attendees were seated in smaller adjacent rooms.

The local executive of the United Church Women organizes the meal ev-ery year, although Sentz described it as a “congregational event” with both men and women making contributions.

“The only thing that we paid for was the meat,” said Sentz. “Everything else was donated. . . . People are very re-sponsive. They give generously, and

come and eat.”The meal included roast beef, pota-

toes, vegetables and several kinds of salads. A wide range of pies were of-fered for dessert, from apple and pump-kin to raisin and chocolate pudding.

Sentz said that around 40 people volunteered in rotating shifts, and ex-pressed her appreciation for everyone who made a contribution.

She recalled that the fall supper was already an established event when she first arrived in Stettler in 1970 and es-timated that it has been going for more than half a century.

The proceeds of the supper go to-wards the church’s ministries, missions and programs. The church has lately undergone renovations to improve its accessibility, including remodeling the bathrooms and the addition of an eleva-tor.

The Christian Education wing recent-ly received a new roof, while the build-ing’s exterior also needed work and general upkeep.

His troubles with alcohol led Russell Simpson to sev-eral bad decisions, some of which had him in attendance at Alberta Provincial Court in Stettler on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Simpson pleaded guilty to a charge each of resisting a peace officer, obstructing a peace officer and breach of conditions.

The 20-year-old man was arrested in Stettler on Aug. 6 after he interrupted the investigations of Stettler RCMP Const. Glen Gabruch. Gabruch had been dispatched to the Stop’N’Go after a 911 call, and while in the parking lot interviewing the owner and witness to the incident, he was accosted by Simpson and two of his friends.

When Gabruch asked them to step back, the two friends obliged, but Simpson did not.

Instead, Simpson continued to yell at the constable from within a fenced yard, addressing Gabruch with profanity. Gabruch again asked Simpson to cease the disturbance and warned the man if he did not, he would arrest him.

When Simpson did not heed the police officer’s words, Gabruch entered the yard through the gate, where Simp-son told him he couldn’t be arrested since he was in a private yard. Gabruch then arrested Simpson, who re-sisted arrest by grabbing on to the gate and refusing to let go. In such close proximity, Gabruch noted signs of inebriation, such as the smell of alcohol, slurred words and reddened eyes.

Crown prosecutor C. Ayre quoted the police report on the incident, noting that the “gate went to the ground along with Simpson” as Gabruch eventually arrested the man.

Upon arrest, it was discovered that Simpson was on conditions to be of good behaviour, and yelling profani-ties across a fence was in direct contradiction to that, so the charge of breach of conditions was added.

Simpson, who works all over Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories, currently is working in Macklin, Sask. The judge listened as he explained that he completed a Grade 12 education and was born and raised in Stettler, and would be able to return for any court dates -- but that he knew alcohol was the driving force behind his problems.

“I’m trying to go to AA,” Simpson said, noting that he hadn’t found a group in Macklin but was looking for

one nearby.“You’re a young man,” Judge Yake said, before add-

ing, “If you don’t stop (drinking) now, it will ruin your life.”

Since Simpson pleaded guilty early into the process, Yake gave him a fine of $300 per charge, for a total of $900 plus the victim surcharge fee. However, Simpson was also placed on probation for 12 months, but Yake did not put in sobriety terms, noting, “You’re an alco-holic and I’d be setting you up to fail.”

Instead, the terms required Simpson to participate in alcohol and anger management courses, such as Alco-holics Anonymous.

The Alberta government has offered a helping hand to save a piece of local his-tory, nearly a century old, at the Stettler Town and Country Museum.

The Estonian House, a log structure built in the 1920s by settler George Tam-berg, has been located on the museum grounds since 1978, but has deterioriated to the point where it was deemed a safety hazard and threatened with demolition.

Since this summer, the museum has worked to protect the building, and last month the house was moved to a new ce-ment pad, west of the train station.

Museum manager Karen Wahlund said they are seeking contractors to complete the remaining work, which includes a new roof, renovation of the interior and exte-rior, and replacement of half of the inside floor.

Vermilion-Lloydminster MLA Richard Starke was on hand on Monday, Oct. 27, to present a cheque for $20,000 in sup-port of the project, on behalf of Alberta’s minister of culture and tourism, Maureen Kubinec.

The funding came from the Community Facility Enhancement Program and was presented as a matching grant.

Starke presented the cheque to a group of museum representatives, including Wahlund, president Norma Rairdan, cu-rator Wilda Gibbon and associate curator Lyndsay Dayman.

In his presentation, Starke lauded the “major commitment” of the museum’s staff and volunteers, saying the province was proud to partner with them.

“They go to great lengths to do every-

thing they can to keep our history alive and vibrant,” he said. “It’s a labour of love.”

Wahlund said the museum was “very, very grateful” for the donation, which

nearly doubles the funds raised for the project so far. About $25,000 has been re-ceived in cash donations.

Artifacts previously stored in the house have been moved elsewhere for safekeep-

ing until the renovations are complete. The museum is currently open during

the fall months with reduced hours. For more information, visit stettlermuseum.com or call 403-742-4534.

Estonian House restoration gets boost from province

The formal evening in-cluded a catered meal and live music provided by IQ, a four-piece a cap-pella group from Innisfail, as well as guest speaker Angus Watt, who offered messages of encourage-ment while telling the crowd to “be generous and have fun.”

A wine and liquor tasting station was offered. Sev-eral prizes were raffled off

while other donated items were auctioned off at the evening’s end by Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson.

“I was absolutely grate-ful and thankful for all for all of the people that showed up there, and for their generosity,” said Tho-rogood this week. “All of that really surprised me.”

The 18-month fundrais-ing campaign has five ma-jor goals: redevelopment of operating rooms; rede-sign of labour and delivery suites; emergency depart-

ment expansion; lab and diagnostic imaging expan-sion; and a geriatric moni-toring system.

Thorogood said the foundation intends to carry out these goals in an order-ly fashion, and without in-terrupting the services pro-vided at the facility. Some of the work is already underway, including the ordering of new operating room lights and equipment.

Several donations were added to the tally in the course of the evening, and

by the end it had reached more than $421,000, not including auction pro-ceeds.

Warren Aspenes shared the story of how his church, St. Peter’s Luther-an Church, raised the funds for its recent renovation by encouraging members to commit to regular giving.

He indicated that if just over 330 people pledged $100 per month, the cam-paign could easily reach its goal within the target of 18 months. Aspenes said it

was within the reach of an “industrious and resilient community.”

Attendees heard from several former patients and their families, includ-ing Deep Singh and nurse Shawna Jenkins, both of whom underwent emer-gency C-sections after developing complications during pregnancy.

Donna Hoopfer told the audience of the care and consideration given to her brother with special needs, saying that doctors and

staff “bent over backwards to make sure that Brian was always comfortable, and that we, his siblings, wanted for naught.”

“We need to do every-thing that we can do as a community,” she said, “to supply these people with the infrastructure up-grades, equipment and re-sources that they need to do the job that they want to do for us.”

Neitz named chair of public school boardJoel van der Veen

INDEPENDENT REPORTER

A couple of familiar fac-es have been selected as the new chair and vice-chair of the Clearview Public Schools board.

Trustee Cheri Neitz, who has represented Donalda and Erskine since 2007, was nominated as chair-person and was acclaimed by all trustees, replacing outgoing chairperson Ken Checkel.

Meanwhile, John Schofer — who was first elected to the board in 1998, rep-resenting Byemoor, Botha and Gadsby, and returned last year after one term away — was elected as vice-chair, replacing Dave Goodwin.

The appointments were made during the board’s organizational meeting on Thursday, Oct. 23. Both Neitz and Schofer have been named to one-year terms.

Neitz told the Indepen-dent this week that she looks forward to working with a “unified council,” explaining that the chair-person accepts and follows the direction of the board as a whole.

“I think our board is headed in a positive direc-tion,” she said. “We have a lot of positive forward mo-tion.”

She pointed to develop-ments like the work being undertaken by superinten-dent Peter Barron, who has been tasked with consulting students, staff and parents on the issues facing the Stettler schools.

Barron is expected to return to the board with several possible scenarios for addressing those issues early next year.

Neitz also said the trust-ees are communicating with town and county councils in the school division to identify areas in which the municipalities can lobby on

Clearview’s behalf. Neitz has served as the

board’s representative on both the Public School Boards Association of Alberta and the Alberta School Boards Association, also serving as the chair for ASBA Zone 4 for two years.

Checkel, who had served as chair since 2006, de-clined to put his name for-ward for the position again but will continue to serve as trustee for Coronation and Brownfield.

During the meeting, com-mittee appointments were made and board meeting dates were set for Novem-ber 2014 through Novem-ber 2015.

The board will custom-arily meet twice a month — the first meeting in a “committee of the whole” format from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the second as a regular board meeting. In months with only one meet-ing, the regular format will be used.

Trustee honorariums and benefit rates are unchanged from last year, as are rates for meal and non-hotel stay allowance. The mileage rate increased by one cent per kilometre, to 54 cents per km, effective Nov. 1.

The board also desig-nated student services di-rector Eileen Johnstone as acting superintendent on an as-needed basis until next year’s organizational meet-

ing.

Fourth-quarter financial results

Associate superintendent Peter Neale presented the division’s fourth-quarter financial results for 2013-2014 at the board’s regular meeting, which immediate-ly followed the organiza-tional meeting on Oct. 23.

While budget projections last year indicated a defi-cit of $963,500, Neale said that the division has in fact reached a slim surplus of $4,856.

Neale, who called it a “good news budget,” said the biggest driver behind that surplus was the schools themselves, who gener-ated a surplus of $310,000 through additional grant money and reducing spend-ing.

While other departments also reduced spending to come in under budget, Neale remarked that Main-tenance Services ended with a deficit of $333,368, roughly $30,000 less than anticipated. He identified this as a “significant risk.”

“We’re a million dollars better than what we expect-ed to be,” observed Dave Goodwin, but Neale warned that any significant celebra-tion would be premature, as the school’s future revenues are still expected to fall short of expenditures.

“This does give us a bit of a cushion to fall on,” he

said, “but it doesn’t solve our long-term problems.”

The division’s audited

financial statements will be presented for approval in November.

There has been tremendous outpour of grief, a small demon-stration of hatred (in Cold Lake, AB) and a proper response to that expression of hate after Canadian forces lost two of their members over the past week in vicious at-tacks by apparently religiously motivated assailants.

Emotions will probably con-tinue to run high until the sorrow over the loss of the two soldiers slowly withers away and life re-turns to normal for those who loved them, when sober thinking should replace the sentimental re-actions and try to find answers to many questions that surround the senseless killings in Montreal and Ottawa.

The first of these questions is probably how religious extrem-ism can have such a strong ap-peal in Canada even when it is so distant geographically? What is in the ideology or philosophy of Islam that can attract so blind and zealous commitment from indi-viduals who can kill without any hesitation? Is it the religion, is it

the individual or is it those who interpret Islam for heinous pur-poses to blame?

What is the profile of a religious extremist? Are they educated? Some of them clearly are. Do they come from well to do families or struggling households? At least in the case of Canadian suspects, as reported by the broadcast media, not all of them are coming from desperately poor families. Then they are not exactly the kind of people who have nothing to look forward to. So, why are they at-tracted to the fight of people who preach nothing by martyrdom for a religious cause?

These questions may take many years of psycho-sociologi-cal, sociological and behavioural studies to answer.

But for the moment, there are a few known factors that can help us start to understand the mystery behind the appeal of the Islamic extremism.

Most important of them is the major difference between the Christianity and Islam: The for-

mer went through a process of reformation and the latter didn’t. Islam continues to be a religion with a claim to rule all aspects of the life an individual, leaving no room for separation between the secular and divine, while Christi-anity, after Reformation and the consequent period of Enlighten-ment, has allowed the secular life to be governed by scientific thought. As a result of this vari-ance in the historical develop-ment of the two religious tradi-tions, blind faith still dominates Islamic education practices where scientific thought is present only as far as the religious guidelines set by clergy allow it. That is why girls are not allowed to go to schools in areas where religious organizations like Taliban rule the communities.

Malala Yousafzai, one of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize recipi-ents will be accorded Honourary Citizenship of Canada as decided by a vote in the House of Com-mons, a fine gesture to recog-nize a young girl who defied the

Taliban and promoted the right of girls in Pakistan to be educated and took a bullet because of her bravery. But it is only a gesture.

If Canada and other members of the “free world” really want to do something meaningful to stop Islamic extremism and further loss of life, they should make a concerted effort to ensure that a generation of girls like Malala get educated properly and they can raise their children without the dogmatic restrictions of religious thinking.

Sending a few fighter jets or even ground troops to fight reli-gious extremists might seem to produce results in the short term, and even that is seriously doubt-ful.

The problem at hand has been brewing over the last four decades or so, it is not realistic to expect it to go away with a few bomb-ing sorties in the space of a few months. It will be much wiser to look at the root causes and deal with them strategically.

– Mustafa Eric

2014 may go down as the best year for progress on more access to beef markets. Specifically the South Korea Free Trade Agreement, the tenta-tive European Union Free Trade Agreement and the recent COOL WTO victo-ry all bode well for better marketing opportunities for Canadian exporters – at least that’s the hope.

Ironically, as hope rises for better access to foreign markets, the industry finds itself in a declining cattle supply situation which has seen live prices sky-rocket to levels that were a fantasy a year ago. That fortunate situation tends to lessen the immediate need for additional export markets, as supplying the existing markets gets pri-ority.

The federal government and industry organizations continue to tout the EU free trade agreement as being a huge new market for Canadian beef exports. That enthusiasm in my view remains a bit opti-mistic and premature. The agreement still needs to be approved by the 28 mem-bers of the EU – that’s no easy task considering the conflicting vested interests many of the EU members

have on agriculture issues.What should be of most

concern is the crafty and duplicitous nature of EU trade bureaucrats who are masters of the bait and switch. That being promis-ing more access, but tying up actual access in restric-tive protocols and non-tariff barriers. Remember the EU won the hormone trade challenge by fooling Canadian and American negotiators into believing they were going to get bet-ter and more access to the EU market. The other mat-ter to keep in mind is that the EU market is not a new market – present quota im-ports are being served by others such as the USA, Australia, New Zealand and South America. None of those exporters are ex-pected to stand by whilst Canadian exports take away any of their market share. I expect the big

packers have already de-termined whether the EU market has any economic potential.

More worrisome is the COOL dispute with the USA. Recently Canada won another WTO appeal on earlier decisions that favoured Canada. The fed-eral government and their industry allies on both sides of the border have been crowing about how this third victory will force the US government to re-move or amend the COOL legislation. The Federal Ag Minister is sabre-rattling a hit list of tariffs on selected US imports that will be imposed un-less the Americans submit to the WTO decision and amend COOL. However, the American government seems unconcerned by what I suspect they see as idle threats by the Minis-ter. If the Obama adminis-

tration’s stand on thwart-ing the Keystone pipeline is any indication, I expect obstructing cattle and beef imports from Canada is pretty easy. Losing a WTO decision again is probably a minor annoyance and further appeals and delays are guaranteed to contin-ue. Remember it took ten years to get the EU to the negotiating table on the hormone issue through the WTO process.

I suspect when all ap-peals and delays are finally exhausted the Americans may offer to negotiate the COOL impact on Cana-dian exports. But even that may not happen if Canada falters with its threat to impose retaliatory tariffs on selected American im-ports. The Americans may just call Canada’s bluff on tariff imposition and there is good reason to believe they will as there isn’t much precedent. Canada remains the boy scout of the trading world and ad-heres to the spirit of the North American Free Trade Agreement – but the Americans have a dif-ferent attitude. Remember the soft wood trade dispute with the US – Canada gave in to American demands even though it was counter

to NAFTA principles. It should be said that Canada has applied countervailing duties on American apple, corn and potato exports in the past, but this trade dis-pute situation is very dif-ferent.

The real question is does Minister Ritz have the for-mal support of his govern-ment cabinet colleagues to impose the retaliatory tar-iffs on American imports when formally authorized by the WTO. Minister Ritz’s cabinet colleagues may not be that enthused to upset our biggest trad-ing partner over what may seem to urban Ministers as some minor rural political issue. Throwing the eco-nomic interests of a few thousand cattle producers (who vote Conservative anyway) under the bus doesn’t have a lot of polit-ical consequences for the government.

A formal declaration on the imposition of retalia-tory tariffs by the Cana-dian government would go a long way in putting some confidence into the whole WTO process against COOL. It’s the least the Canadian cattle and beef industry should expect from their own government.

Independent COMMUNITY The Stettler Independent Wednesday, October 29, 2014


Local comics fans got a close-up look at the work that goes into TV anima-tion this weekend when the Stettler Public Library hosted its first Halloween ComicFest.

The event, held at the library on Saturday, Oct. 25, was a celebration of all things comics-related, at-tended by an enthusiastic group of about 20.

Kids were invited to bring their own comics to share or trade, or to take some free comic books home from the library. Soda floats and popcorn were served, and prizes were awarded to those who

arrived in costume. The group also got to

chat via Skype with Chris Woods, a Vancouver-based animator who has worked on the new Teenage Mu-tant Ninja Turtles TV se-ries that currently appears on YTV in Canada.

Over the course of an hour, Woods gave a dem-onstration of his work, showing the computer pro-grams he uses to design and animate characters.

“We basically get to con-trol little puppets inside the computer,” he explained, also showing how anima-tors use simple thumbnail drawings to sketch out a scene before turning it into more polished drawings.

He drew a basic fight-

ing scene featuring one of the Ninja Turtles, Raphael, explaining that the red-masked, sai-carrying turtle is his personal favourite.

“He has so much person-ality,” Woods explained. “He’s just always been my favourite, since I was a lit-tle kid.”

Woods, who is employed by Bardel Entertainment Inc., is the nephew of Dar-lene Philpot, the library’s program manager.

She beamed with pride as she told stories of how his teachers would tell him to stop drawing in class and focus on his work. He has since turned what they saw as a distraction into a suc-cessful career.

Woods also took ques-

tions from the audience and then drew a more elaborate scene with a fire-breathing dragon, flying above a for-est, being attacked by an overgrown mushroom with trees for claws.

The audience called out a

steady stream of wild sug-gestions, but Woods kept up with the requests admi-rably. As a final touch, he added another Ninja Tur-tle, Leonardo, who rode atop the dragon.

Woods said he would

send a cleaned-up, co-loured final version of the drawing to the library. Philpot said she’d like to print it out and put it on display.

Two Ninja Turtles post-ers, signed by the show’s staff, were awarded to at-tendees who came in cos-tume: Shawn Werbowesky, who dressed as Rapha-el, and Matthew Clark, dressed as a giant chicken.

Afterward, library staff handed out blank comic pages and invited the kids to draw their own comics.

The library’s assistant manager, Crystal Friars, said that their collection of comics, manga and graphic novels has grown in size and popularity.

“That’s one collection we’ve been really focusing on lately,” she said. “It’s one of the biggest up-and-coming parts of the collec-tion.”

The library has titles targeted at adults, young adults and junior readers, said Friars.

“They go out to all ages,” she said. “Some love the superhero stories, some just love the art.”Life is better in the Quick Lane.TM

What pop/folk song has the oldest lyrics? The an-swer is, “To Everything There Is a Season”.

The Byrds released their version of “To Everything There Is a Season” under the title of “Turn! Turn! Turn!” on October 1, 1965. It rose quickly to the top of the charts in the United States, Canada and Great Britain. Bob Seeger received credit for the lyr-ics, but a portion of them actually date back to 970 BC, are recorded in Eccle-siastes 3 and were written by Solomon, king of Is-rael.

The passage talks about times and seasons and ap-propriate behavior and attitudes for the same. A season can be defined as a segment of time that has been allotted for cer-tain things to take place. Solomon provides, in this text, several conclusions about the seasons of life. However, there are three things in particular that he shares, which apply to any season of life.

In verse 1 Solomon stated, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter un-der heaven.” I understand from this verse that God Is in Control And I Am Not. I cannot change the sea-sons of my life, but I’m responsible to make deci-sions that will affect how I live within the seasons. It is not for me to be haunted by the past or to be anx-ious about the future.

Every day is a gift from God, but they all come packaged differently and some of them are a little more difficult to unpack and deal with than others. I need God’s wisdom and guidance in order to deter-mine what to do with each of them.

Verse 11 says that God, “has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in our hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” The passage is sweet and sour. It indi-cates that there is beauty and order to everything, but also suggests that our understanding, or satisfac-tion will never be com-prehensive. God Sees The Big Picture, And I Don’t! No doubt this is what C.S. Lewis had in mind when he wrote, “I find in myself a desire which no expe-rience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

Skipping ahead to verse 14, we read,” I understand that whatever God does endures forever; nothing

can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him.” I learn from this passage that God Is God, And I’m Not... The only truly possible and plausible re-sponse is for me to stand in awe of Him!

Contemplating God...Always in season!

Halloween is here. We have been busily decorating to look like the creepy library from the Hilarious House of Frighten-stein. (You remember that show, right?). The mice are loose, the bloody handprints are in evidence, and the public has been warned that the zombies are about. And the population of ghostly apparitions and mighty heroes will only increase tomor-row with the Monster Bash.

The Monster Bash, our massive Hal-loween party, is taking place on Thursday, Oct. from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10 per child or $25 per family (adults are free) for a night filled with magic and spookiness. Professional storyteller Renee Englot and magician Kyle Key will enter-tain us between stations of games, crafts, glitter tattoos, and a hot dog concession. The library will be the place to be for all sorts of ghoulish fun.

October is coming to an end and with it Food for Fines month. You have until Fri-day for the staff to waive $2 worth of fines for every non-perishable food item you bring in. The food items will be donated to the Food Bank at the end of October. It is a win-win for everyone.

For those of you who live in the Botha area, the Stettler Public Library is bring-

ing you Read & Rhyme Playtime at the Botha School Library on Thursdays at 11: 30 a.m. Enjoy time with your little person as you sing rhymes and songs, learn about letters and numbers, and so much more.

Nov. 1 brings a small change to the Stet-tler Public Library. The price of copying, faxing and scanning will be increasing to help cover the costs of our new copier system. Black and white printing/copy-ing/faxing will be increasing to $0.35 per page, colour printing/copying will now by $0.50 per page and we will now be charg-ing a fee of $0.50 per job for scanning.

Copies of the books for our book clubs are available at the Stettler Public Library. Join us on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. when Reader’s Circle gathers to discuss “Daughter of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor. Join the teens when they talk about the pros and cons of “Unraveling” by Elizabeth Norris on Thursday, Novem-ber 7 at 5:30 pm.

If you have any questions about our pro-grams and services, please check out our website (http://spl.prl.ab.ca), our Face-book page (www.facebook.com/Stettler-PublicLibrary) or see our tweets (www.twitter.com/stettlerlibrary) for last minute details about our programs. You can also contact us the old-fashioned way at 403-742-2292.

Stettler kids got an early taste of thrills and chills at the Spooktacular Halloween Party last weekend.

The party, hosted at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Saturday, Oct. 25, attract-ed more than 150 kids, par-ents and grandparents with a mix of spooky music, crafts and activities.

Rainbow-coloured light shone on the dance floor, while classic tunes like “Love Potion No. 9” played in the background.

There were also bouncy castles, snacks, crafts for the kids to made, and “sensory tables.” These included con-cotions like “ghost mud,” a mixture of toilet paper and Ivory soap that was set in a large container on the floor, where kids could stick their hands inside.

Another mixture was billed as “monster eyes and goblin drool” — in actual-ity, just water beads floating in liquid.

The hall was decorated with cobwebs, bats and oth-er terrifying trimmings, and a fog machine added to the

overall ambience. Renaye Pickett, who or-

ganized the party with Lisa Goodkey and Stephanie Nixon, said the event was a success, with almost all available tickets sold.

Proceeds from the party were donated towards the Stettler Kinette Club play-ground project in West Stet-tler Park; a total of $770 was raised.

“We’re playing on doing it yearly,” said Pickett, add-ing that a different benefi-ciary would be chosen each year. “We’re always open to suggestions.”

It was the perfect night for those who prefer their country music the old-fash-ioned way, with fiddle, slide guitar and the occasional yodel.

The Alberta Country Music Legends brought their show to the Stettler Com-munity Hall on Friday, Oct. 24, delighting a crowd of more than 200 with a setlist of cowboy and cowgirl classics, peppered with stories and jokes.

The show featured a rotating, star-studded lineup that included Joyce Smith, Bev Munro, Randy Hollar, Alfie Myhre, Pete Hicks and the Rodeo Wind band, led by George Myren.

The concert was organized by the Stet-tler Agricultural Society, which organizes a variety of events throughout the year, said office administrator Jodi Chapman.

The performers were a definite hit with the audience. When queried, many in the crowd indicated by a show of hands that they’d seen the Legends before; several even kept their hands raised when asked if they’d seen the group five times or more.

Hollar, a singer and yodeler originally from Viking, kicked off the evening, per-forming several Wilf Carter tunes, includ-ing “There’s a Love Knot in My Lariat” and “Cattle Call.”

Myren, in introducing Hollar, lauded his similarity to the late Carter, observ-ing, “If you shut your eyes, you’d swear to God you were at a Wilf Carter concert.”

Hollar was in fine form despite hav-ing undergone a knee replacement the previous week and seemed happy to be performing in Stettler, “one of the only

towns you can spend a whole week in a single night.”

Myhre was up next, impressing the audience with his skills on the fiddle. A prodigy who has enjoyed a career of more than half a century, Myhre was raised on a farm near Kingman, north of Camrose.

Hicks, a radio veteran with Camrose’s CFCW, sang and played several songs, including “Take Me Back to Tulsa,” “Della and the Dealer,” and “Walk On By.” The audience joined in a somewhat tepid call and response on the latter song, provoking some good-natured ribbing from Hicks.

Singer Joyce Smith, whose decades-long career has taken her from Alberta to Nashville and overseas, took the stage to perform “Shanty Girl,” “Strong Enough to Bend” and “Leavin’ On Your Mind.” (Patsy Cline was inspired to record her 1963 hit version of the latter song after hearing Smith’s recording.)

Bev Munro, a native of Bossevain, Man., with a lengthy career as a per-former, recording artist and DJ, treated the audience to tunes like “If I Ever Need a Lady, I’ll Call You” and “Babysittin’ with the Blues.”

After an intermission, Hollar returned to perform a solo set that included a trib-ute to the late Stompin’ Tom Connors with “The Hockey Song.”

Myhre, Hicks, Smith, Munro and the band also returned to the stage in the second half. Hicks dedicated one song, “Home is You,” to Gertie Savage of Stet-tler, who turned 103 this past summer.

The Legends are scheduled to perform their next show in Consort on Nov. 15. For more information, visit accml.com.

Shame on you?By Wendy Rhyason,MA CounsellingExecutive Director

Shame is the most pow-erful, master emotion. It’s the fear that we’re not good enough.

~ Brene Brown

Guilt and shame go hand-in-hand. Like guilt, shame is a necessary human emo-tion as it helps us develop a moral compass. When we feel guilt and shame it is because we have done something wrong that goes against our core values and beliefs. Guilt and shame are positive responses of psychologically healthy people when they realize they have done something wrong. These emotions lead to a correction and

change in behaviour. Toxic shame on the other

hand is the feeling of be-ing something wrong. It causes us to feel flawed and defective and therefore un-worthy of love and belong-ing. Toxic shame covers an internal state of inad-equacy, unworthiness, or regret. It erodes the sense of self and tends to direct people into destructive be-haviours. Feelings of toxic shame produce anger, rage or other irrational behav-iours. Fearing rejection, individuals become per-fectionists, withdraw from people, seek the approval of others or become overly responsible. Toxic shame is often the experience that underlies violent acts, ad-diction, infidelity, eating

disorders, excessive depen-dency in relationships, and so many other problematic behaviors.

As children we develop an internalized view of ourselves as adequate or inadequate. If children are continually criticized, se-verely punished, neglected, abandoned, abused or mis-treated, they begin to think of themselves as inade-quate, inferior or unworthy. Feelings of inferiority con-tribute to low self-esteem leading to over sensitivity and a fear of rejection. This is a common emotional re-sponse in adult children of alcoholic parents, as well as those who grew up with depressed parents, abuse, religious fanaticism, war, cultural oppression, or

adult or sibling death. All of these experiences cause an individual to feel vulner-able, helpless and shamed.

Toxic shame can be trig-gered by another person or a circumstance and from a failure to meet your own unrealistic ideals or stan-dards. The first step to healing toxic shame is to recognize the feelings of shame in your life. The fol-lowing statements contrib-ute to a sense of shame and can be spoken by another person or you can say them to yourself:

That was so stupid. I can’t believe you said that!

You will never amount to anything!

Who would want to be with you! You’re ugly and disgusting!

You’ll never be as good as your friends! You’re such a loser!

Can you see how state-ments like this erode your self-worth and lead to a sense of shame? Are you shaming yourself? Are there people in your life that shame you? If some-one else makes these state-ments, it may be necessary to separate yourself from that relationship. If you make these statements,

learn self-compassion. Don’t judge yourself or allow others to judge you. Don’t blame yourself for situations you are not re-sponsible for. Get to know yourself and accept who you are. Forgive yourself and others. Love, respect and protect yourself. Prac-tice compassion. Eventu-ally you will reduce your feelings of shame and in-crease your self-worth.

If you need help reduc-ing feelings of shame and increasing your self-worth, please contact FCSS for a list of resources or to see one of our counsellors.

Independent DISTRICT Wednesday, October 29, 2014 The Stettler Independent

The history of schools in our area is fascinating. The establishment of schools in the homesteading days fol-lowed a particular pattern where schools were estab-lished. In each township, sections 11 and 29 were set aside as school sections al-though the schools were not necessarily built on school land.

There were 10 country schools in the vicinity of Donalda: Buena Vista, Centennial, Ibsen, Norbo, Poplar Grove, Science Mound, Skybo, Spruce Coulee, Up-to-Date and Willow Park.

The earliest school in the Donalda area was Willow Park built in 1904. It stood near Wessington Post Of-fice. The Norbo School Dis-trict was organized in 1905. In 1918 it was moved and finally dismantled in 1949. The Spruce Coulee District was organized in 1905 and closed in 1955. The Poplar School was formed in 1906 but closed in 1917. The school building was later moved to Donalda which required skidding the build-ing. The Science Mound School (named for a hill of

red shale nearby) was built in 1906. During the early years, it was also used for church services.

The Buena Vista School (a name meaning beautiful view) was built in 1908. The Skybo School was also opened in 1908. The Ibsen school was built in 1910. The uniquely named Up-to-Date School was built with lumber hauled from Stet-tler.

Centennial School, which opened in 1919 east of Donalda, was the last of the country schools to be built in the Donalda district. In 1949 when the Norbo School was torn down, the Centennial School was moved there.

In 1911, the Donalda School District was formed. Classes were first held in a house, then a vacant store, and by 1913 a two-room school with 38 children was built where the pres-ent elementary school is

located. Poplar Grove and Seven Nations School Dis-trict (which did not build a school) combined with Donalda in 1918 to form the Donalda Consolidated School. There were 101 students who attended by that time.

More on the history of schools in another article.

The Donalda and Dis-trict Agricultural Society is hosting its annual fall sup-per Saturday, Nov. 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. A family movie is shown at 6:30, free with the meal.

The popular COWBUS, “Classroom on Wheels,” is coming to the Donalda Pub-lic Library on Nov. 7 from 10:30 to 12 noon. Families with children up to six years of age are encouraged to participate. There will be an interactive literacy cen-tre on the bus.

Birthday greetings this week go to Amanda Hold-en, Charlee Grace Erick-son, Jason Gebhardt, Dorie Jones, Annalise Sideritsch, Maureen Rider, Jennifer Charles, Marites Reyes, Lindsay Tantrum and Jason Bauer. Best birthday wishes to anyone we missed!

The 94th annual Omega Circle bazaar and bake sale was a great success with 118 adults and children. It is always fun to see folks from far away coming home for the day. This year included Shirley (Chick) and Jack Nixon, Atha-basca; Phyllis Chick Red Deer; Evelyn Miller, Calgary; Kelly Baird, Teresa and ken Schaub; Kay (Glasier) and Doug Hankinson, Wandering River; Annice (Haner) Erickson, Red Deer; as well as many dear friends from the nearby com-munities. The winners of all the prizes are listed elsewhere in the paper.

After the bazaar, Bill and Joyce Han-sel headed to Provost to Curtis and Corinne Trennery’s to help great grand-daughter Cadee celebrate her third birth-day. All their great grandchildren were there. Bill and Joyce stayed overnight at daughter Mary Lou and Stan Botting in Cadogan , where grandson Jeff and Kathy joined them for breakfast before they returned home Sunday afternoon.

Also visiting and attending the bazaar from far away was Gloria Blumer of Dinsmore, Saskatchewan. Gloria was here visiting Tammy Hronek and family as well as Frank and Eleanor Dahlgren.

Happy 80th birthday to Smitty! La-vonne and Smitty along with Gordon Jackson, Duane Hronek, Barb and Lorne Nattestad celebrated with supper at The Otherside.

Followed by Saturday supper at Ja-mie and Rowie Kobi with Gordie and Della Kobi; then on to Bill and Shirley

Matier’s 50th anniversary.Very glad to hear that Lynn Hansel is

home recovering from back surgery and doing well. Way to go Lynn!

The Gadsby District Hobby Club is short on members. If there is to be a Santa Claus day this year, we need at least two people with organizational skills to step up and take over the plan-ning of this event.

Please call 403 574 2442 or 403 574 0000 a.s.a.p.

It is with a heavy heart that we lose another of our Gadsby seniors with the passing of Phyllis Robinson. Phyllis and Jim were a part of the community, working with the Omega Circle, Square dance, The United Church in Gadsby, 4H, just to name a few. They farmed four miles north of Gadsby for many years. Sincere sympathies to Jimaine, Norman, Debbie, Patty, Robert, Ray-mond, Betty Anne and Laurel and their families.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, Oct. 31 at 1 p.m. in the Stettler Funeral Home.

Donalda Community Hall was packed Saturday, Oct. 18 as a theatrical perfor-mance designed as a fundraiser for the Donalda and District Museum attracted his-tory enthusiasts eager to know more about a few characters that made their mark in the region during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Apart from the well-known Gabriel Dumont, the Métis leader played by Bob Willis, the show featured Chris Jenson as James Gadsby, a one time gangster asso-ciated with Jesse James gang after the US Civil War, who later escaped north of the border and became a long haul freighter in Alberta, as well as Jenson’s real life daugh-ter Nora Smith, who reflected the eventful life of Alice Smith, a telephone operator in Delburne working from 1908.

Speaking before the performance, Nora Smith said of her namesake that she was a vitally important figure in her community

at the time she lived. “Because she knew everything about everybody, like a local news agency,” Smith said.

Jenson said for his part that Gadsby had become an important part of the local econ-omy with his transport business and that during his trips he had met with Gabriel Dumont as the Métis hunters camped at the Buffalo Lake area to conduct their seasonal hunting parties.

The performance raised some $4,000 dol-lars for the museum, according to organiz-ing committee member Marlene Conibear, a figure, which was more or less in line with expectations.

Conibear said they had to do these fund-raisers because they lacked a regular stream of federal or provincial funding to keep the museum operational and that in order to do “ a lot that has to be done,” they needed to cover operational expenses.

“We would like to have a full time (mu-seum) manager but because we don’t have enough funding, we can only afford a part-time manager,” she added.

Patty SteenRUMSEY RECORD

I wonder if summer is over. With the arrival of that snow on Sunday, it really makes me wonder but it is Alberta after all and anything can happen, so I will wait and see.

Lois Kiemele served cake at St. Mary’s Lodge last week and they celebrated five birthdays. In the extended care, Paul Ge-linas and Muriel Stephenson celebrated their birthdays and in the lodge, there were Anna Meding, Ruth Gordon and Bob Delaney celebrating. It was a good crowd that got together, so thanks to Lois and her helpers for making it happen.

Doris (Jacobs) Irving is celebrating her 90th birthday on Nov. 8 and the family has decided to have a party. The open house will be held at the Porch Light Common Room at 124-7th Ave N in Three Hills from 2 to 5 p.m. Her daughter wanted to pass on that everyone is welcome to come over and join in the fun.

I would like to thank Marilyn Trentham for passing on some news from Morrin. The Morrin Lions are raising money for the Morrin School swim program by hold-ing an after harvest breakfast on Sunday, Nov. 2. It will go from 9 until noon at the Morrin Hall. They have also been doing a little work at the playground and have plans for more in the spring.

Morrin seniors have some events com-ing up that people may be interested in. The quilters are holding a retreat on November 14, 15 and 16 at the Seniors’ Drop-in Cen-ter. A good chance to get some projects done for Christmas or grab some free ad-vice from the experts. Contact Marj Chap-man at 403-772-3814 if you are interested.

Larry Anderson is organizing a bus trip to Red Deer for Wednesday, Nov. 12 to the Jackpot Casino and for shopping. It will only cost you $20 to jump on board. That is a good deal and all the responsibil-ity is off your shoulders. Contact Larry by

October 30 at 403-772-3772Pickleball is being played at the Morrin

School gym on Thursday nights at 7:30, so join in on that if you are curious what pickleball is.

Remembrance Day services will be coming up soon for every community. I know that Morrin will be holding theirs on Nov. 9. Big Valley will hold a service at the school on Nov. 7 then the community one on Nov. 11. Rumsey will also have a service at the drop-in on Nov. 11 with a social to follow. All of these will start at 10:45 so the bugle will blow at 11 sharp. With the recent events in Ottawa, I believe that Remembrance Day is becoming more and more important every year.

I am hoping to have the 2015 library calendars ready for the fall supper on Nov. 1, so I hope you will plan to include it in some of your Christmas presents this year. They look really good and include all local pictures from local talent.

My joke of the week is picking on blonde, so I will apologize in advance but it is funny so hope you find the humor in it. Enjoy

A blonde canvassed a wealthy neigh-bourhood looking for odd jobs. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had anything for her to do.

“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”

“How about $50?”The man agreed and told her the paint

was in the garage. A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

“You’re finished already?” he asked.“Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had

paint left over, so I gave it two coats.” Im-pressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.

“And by the way,” the blonde added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”

Have a great week.

After a loss to Sylvan Lake last week, the Stettler Wildcats will finish their season vying for third place against Rocky Mountain House in a home game this week.

The Wildcats played in Sylvan Lake on Thursday, Oct. 23, losing 56-28 despite a valiant effort.

“It was close at one point,” said head coach Norbert Baharally, noting that their hosts had taken a 28-0 lead when the Wildcats managed two consecutive touchdowns, each with con-versions, bringing the score to 28-16.

However, the Wildcats then executed an incorrect play following a kickoff, an error from which they couldn’t recover. Sylvan Lake returned the kickoff, earning a touchdown and ex-panding their lead to 35-16.

“We lost momentum at that time,” said Baharally. “It just kind of changed from there.”

He highlighted the efforts of several players, including Thomas Cassidy, who com-pleted a long run resulting in a touchdown, and Mike Lo-blaw on defense.

Baharally also had high praise for the Grade 12 play-ers as a whole, noting that it was their last chance at a ti-tle, and their efforts showed

it.“They played their hearts

out,” he said. “They left ev-erything on the field.”

Baharally said the team will need to focus its efforts towards stopping Rocky Mountain House, describing them as solid competitors.

“We’ll have to make sure we stay low when we tackle them,” he said, adding that the Wildcats will also need to execute plays correctly and avoid mental errors.

“Hopefully, we’ll come out on top,” he said, add-ing that it would be great to end the season with a win at home.

The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30. evening, Oct. 21.

Stettler Lightning came to the brink of snapping their los-ing streak at home on Saturday, Oct. 25 when they hosted Medi-cine Hat Cubs but lost 6-5 in the shoot-out and they also lost to Okotoks the following day on the road with a score of 3-1, but neither of the losses dented the confidence of Lightning general manager and head coach Doug Smith.

In Saturday’s game, the Stet-tler boys opened scoring the very first minute of the first pe-riod when Adam Ternes scored from mid-range and the hosts were comfortable throughout the rest of the first period and held off the waves of attacks coming from the Cubs offense.

But when the second period began, it was a different story. When the visitors squeezed four goals into the first nine minutes of the second period, Lightning bench called a timeout just to

remind the Stettler boys not to collapse and stick to the game plan. The timeout turned out to be a well targeted move and the Lightning staged a comeback in the second half of the second period with two scores, with Scott Ternes undersigning both points. The period ended with a 4-3 lead for the Cubs.

The third period began with a storming Lightning offense tak-ing the control of the puck and equalizing right in the second minute. Then the defense inten-

sified their efforts to keep the hosts from taking positions that would allow them to take shots, and Steller boys did manage to hold off the Medicine Hat oppo-nents for about eight minutes but could not stop them from scor-ing another point to take the lead again:5-4.

Just two minutes from the end of regulation, Lightning offense managed to capitalize on the powerplay opportunity when two Cubs players were sent to penalty box within ten seconds

of each other and scored the equalizer to send the match to overtime.

The five-minute single over-time period was not enough for either of the teams to set up an offensive play to score and the time for the shootout arrived.

Cubs goalie stopped all the shots from the Lightning players but the Stettler goalie conceded only one and it was enough for the visitors to claim the win.

This past weekend the senior girls Wildcats vol-leyball team experienced great success against other rural teams as they attend-ed a tournament in Eck-ville.

Friday night the girls got off to a bit of a slow start against Rimbey, dropping the first set 18-25. They then tightened up their

play to win the second set 25-20.

The second match on Friday saw the team han-dle Bentley easily winning in two straight sets 25-18 and 25-6.

The team played their last round robin game on Saturday morning against

Buck Mountain again having a great outcome, winning with scores of 25-10 and 25-8.

Finishing first in their pool sent them straight to

the semi-finals where they faced Kiononia.

The level of volleyball increased significantly with great offense from both teams. Kiononia came out strongly beating the local squad 25-18. The Stettler girls then went into attack mode and won the following two sets 25-20 and 15-11. This sent them to the A final against the home Eckville team. The gym was packed as the fi-nal got underway. The vol-

leyball was intense but the girls stayed very focused and won the first set 25-23. They were playing strong-ly in the second set up un-til 24-21 when Eckville found a second wind and came back to beat them 26-24. The final set saw Eckville on an upswing beating Stettler 15-11. The girls played their best vol-leyball of the season with very strong offense and defensive play and great team work.

continued from page 18The following day, The Lightning traveled to Okotoks

for what head coach Doug Smith described as the “toughest game played this season” by the Stettler team. Lightning lost the game with a score of 3-1 with the only point for the Stettler boys coming from Dylan Houston in the first period.

Despite the losses, head coach Smith gave credit to his players for the comeback they staged in the Medicine Hat game and for keeping Okotoks at bay during Sunday’s game.

He said, in particular of the Sunday’s game: “We skated well and we played well. Okotoks was a team that they knew what they were doing and they worked hard to stop us from doing what we wanted to do.”

Looking ahead to the weekend’s games against Airdrie on Friday, Oct. 31 and Three Hills on Saturday, Nov. 1, coach Smith sounded optimistic, given that they have now played both teams and have an idea about the opponents’ game plans.

“We will have our big guys join in the offense for the weekend,” added Smith in reference to some players who couldn’t play over the last weekend.

Lightning lose games …

With its annual general meeting on the horizon, the Stettler Minor Soccer Asso-ciation is in desperate need of volunteers for next year.

Krista Stewart, the association’s travel team co-ordinator, said she’s hoping to get the word out in advance of the meet-ing, coming up on Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Stettler Recreation Centre.

While around 400 kids between the ages of two and 17 signed up for soc-cer this past summer, Stewart said the association “had a heck of a time find-ing coaches,” especially for younger age groups.

The lack of volunteers has been an on-going problem for the association. Last year, only two people, in addition to board members, showed up for the an-nual general meeting.

Stewart said many of the positions available are not major commitments.

For instance, team co-ordinators are

needed for younger age groups to orga-nize teams, find coaches and set up the schedule for snacks. Stewart estimated the total time needed at 10 hours.

“None of them are big jobs,” she said, but added that it was problematic “if it all falls to the same four people.”

The board will have four vacancies to fill this fall; Stewart and equipment man-ager Nicole Verhoeven both have a year remaining in their terms.

The association is also receptive to vol-unteers interested in coaching or manag-ing teams. Typically, teams are coached by one of the parents, but this year a lack of interest forced the association to reach out to community members.

“You don’t have to have a huge knowl-edge of soccer to coach the (younger) di-visions,” said Stewart.

Anyone interested in getting involved is welcome to attend the Nov. 6 meeting. For more information, contact president Shelley Davis-Hall at 403-323-1124 or visit stettlerminorsoccer.weebly.com.

Soccer in peril as volunteers needed


The Stettler Panthers finished their season with the league final in Sylvan Lake on Saturday, Oct. 25, losing 30-0 to the Bears.

Despite a strong defense

that held the Bears score-less for much of the first half, the Panthers could not find an opening and were unable to score.

The Bears earned a 6-0 lead just prior to half-time, but the Panthers came back with an impressive de-

fense and kept them from scoring again until the end of the third quarter.

While the team was disappointed by the “col-lapse,” head coach Barry Shirley said he and the other coaches are proud of the kids.

The final marked the end of a successful season for the Panthers, who end-ed with a 5-1 record.

The season began with shutouts against Lacombe, Red Deer and Drumheller, although the team experi-enced a setback with a loss

to Strathmore in late Sep-tember — the first time a league competitor man-aged to score against them this season.

They followed this by shutting out the Rocky Mountain Rebels and de-feating the Cochrane Rage

52-6 in mid-October. “We have a great group,”

said Shirley, noting that he had “nothing but positive things to say about them.”

Shirley also said he was looking forward to the next season with the Panthers.

The IOOF fed over 300 people at their fall beef Supper and it was an excel-lent meal. The U C W of Erskine helped out by mak-ing pies for dessert. The proceeds will go towards the continuing renovations in the kitchen.

The Waverly Club Rooms will be open Hal-loween night to give out treats to the kids. It can also be used as a place to warm up or to use the bathrooms should the need arise. So don’t forget to call in there, kids.

After trick or treating, you may want to go up to the school for the Hallow-een dance. It will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Dance the sugar rush off to the amazing DJ service, Rubber Band com-ing in from Bashaw. This is not just for school kids and their families, but for everyone. There is a small admission and the proceeds from that will go towards the school’s extra curricu-lar activities. Prizes will be handed out as the evening progresses.

Well, we had a small taste of winter but the forecast for Halloween is for nicer weather, which we hope is correct.

Don’t forget crib play-ing at the seniors’ centre on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to come and play. Also on Wednes-day afternoons, ceramics is held in the basement of the Waverly Club Rooms.

I couldn’t get hold of anyone at the school due to P D Day on Monday but I believe that Erskine won the volleyball tournament that they hosted on the weekend.

Everything is ready for Halloween

HALKIRK HERALD

The Elks lodge orga-nized, community support-ed, fall supper with turkey, turnips and trimmings will be held this Sunday, Nov. 2 at the hall.

Took a look in the history book to see how many fall suppers have been served in Halkirk; found a bean supper in the late 1930s put on by the young peo-ples society. Adults – 25 cents, school age kids – 15

cents or no more than $ 1 per family. Then in October 1949, the Ladies Aid for the United Church, with the as-sistance of the E.T.T. ( Ev-ery Third Thursday ) ladies held a chicken supper at the community hall. Adults – 75 cents, children under 12 – 35 cents. The E.T.T was formed around 1949 and as-sisted the Women’s Auxil-iary with fund raising. The group ended with the for-mation of the O.O.R.P. in 1961. The fall supper was one of the Royal Purples’

biggest fundraisers. When the OORP surrendered their charter, the supper was taken over by the Elks and their community friends.

Students at the Halkirk school are busy with vol-leyball, Remembrance Day ceremony on Nov 3. and will be helping with the fall supper coming up.

Congratulations to Chad and Melitta ( Walgenbach ) Sorensen on the birth of a 7 lb. 9 oz. baby boy, Nash Haze born on Oct. 13 in Stettler. First time grand – parents are Jim and Leanne Sorensen. Great – grand-mothers are Agnes So-rensen of Stettler and Mil-dred Knisipel of Red Deer.

Anne Neilson, Olga Cox, Francine Hanson and Rose Koenraadt floor curled in Botha last week.

Spending a few days with Irene Schilling was her sis-ter Doreen Johnson from Calgary.

Monday morning the area woke up to a thick blanket of snow, hopefully not to stay.

COMING EVENT

Louise BellairBOTHA BOOSTER

There has been a change to our Botha Community lately that they would like ev-eryone to notice. They would like to first thank Mrs. Marsha Mailer for looking af-ter the hall and the arena for several years now, as Marsha has decided to step down from the position now as the person taking bookings for both places. So we would like to welcome Mr. Shaun Deer to the posi-tion of booking for the hall and the arena. Thank you Shaun for doing this for us. So if you like to rent the hall or arena please call Shaun at 403-742-4811, and he will gladly help you out.

The next BCC annual general meeting will be held on Wednesday, Nov.19 at the Botha Hall, they are hoping everyone can attend. They are always looking for new members, so please join them that day.

This coming Friday is going to be one exciting evening for all children all around the country. It’s Halloween, so please slow down while your driving that evening and watch out for all the excited little Hallow-een creatures that are running around that evening. It’s their evening, so please make it safe and let them have their fun and ex-citement.

Talking about Halloween, the Grade 1s and Kindergartens are holding their Halloween party at 1 p.m. that afternoon. Please parents remember to send in your child’s Halloween costume with them that day. Parents and all younger siblings are very much invited to attend this exciting event that both classes are having. Please come and join in the fun with them.

Then on Saturday, Nov.1, please come out to the Botha Hall between 9 a.m. till 4 p.m. and attend the annual Botha Christ-mas Craft Sale. There will be a lot of in-

teresting items to see and it’s a great way to start your Christmas shopping for them special people on your list. There is some-thing there for. To rent a table or to find out more information on this please call Christine Wedrick at 403-742-6898. There will be a concession there that day for ev-eryone to enjoy.

A big congratulations goes out to all the winners of the last floor curling tour-nament which was held on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Floor Curling regular games are held every Thursday at the Senior Center start-ing at 1 p.m, and everyone is welcome to come and join in the game.

Nov. 1 is also a very exciting day for the big game hunters out there, so run animals, run. This is the one month that a lot of hunters have been waiting for, as the hunting season begins again. Wish all the hunters out there luck on their hunting trips, and all the best of luck getting all the meat they are after.

Nov. 3 is the senior monthly meeting again and held at the senior centre. This meeting will be starting at 12 noon with a pot luck luncheon. Quilting time also hap-pens again on Nov. 10, so please join the ladies at the seniors’ centre that morning. Doors open at 9:30 a.m.

Every Wednesday mornings starting at 10 a.m. is Coffee Time, so come on out for a great visit with your friends and neigh-bors. Then that afternoon come back at 1 p.m. and join in a game of carpet bowling.

Also this Saturday make sure you turn your clocks back one hour as time changes on the wee hours of Sunday morning. Day-light saving time ends, so make sure your clocks are set for the right time.

Here’s wishing everyone a great week and Happy Halloweening.

Interesting facts on fall supper history

Kate SysonSTETTLER ELEMENTARY NEWS

We had a fairly quiet week at SES. The last of the Grade 3 and 4 classes have started their swim-ming lessons this week which will run for three weeks. Through our Leader in Me Program we have been running a photo contest. The deadline was Tuesday and we have had many great pictures handed in that were taken by stu-dents from kindergarten to Grade 5. There will be a winner from each category, which are K/1, 2/3, and 4/5.

Our kindergarten classes had a lot of fun spend-ing time with the fire-fighters that came to visit our school. The students learned how to warn family members if there is a fire in their home, how to create a safe meeting spot outside and how to get out of the house safely. The firefight-ers also told the students what to do if you are in your room and can’t get out through the door, the im-portance of feeling the bed-room door and doorknob

before opening it if the smoke detector is alarm-ing or they smell smoke. Finally, our kids got to see what a fire fighter looks like when they have all their gear on. Thank-you very much to Etienne and Elizabeth for spending the morning with us.

This Thursday, Oct. 30, SES is hosting a parent in-formation night to explain more about our Leader in Me Program. The hope is to share some of the lan-guage that we use here at school so that parents can be using the same strate-gies at home. We will describe what the seven habits are and how we use them in our day to day rou-

tines here at SES. All par-ents and kids are welcome. Please feel free to bring kids big and small as there will be activities planned for our small people dur-ing the evening. There will be snacks provided and we hope to see all our parents out this Thursday at 6:30pm!

Cute quote of the week: a teacher is showing her students how to count by tens using her age as an example. She says “let’s count by tens to figure out how old I am” the kids fol-lowing along “10, 20, 30, 40, 50!” “yes” she says, “I’m 50 years old.” “Oh, no” says a little boy, “that does not sound good.”

By: Elli Anderson and Abbey Bohn, Grade 8 Students

Nine junior-high students joined Liana Bohn and Veronica Pinkoski on Oct. 18 and travelled to Red Deer to par-ticipate in the Archdiocese Edmonton Youth Rally – Live Simple #BeSaints. Held in St. Thomas Aquinas School, the day was led by Colm Lyene, the coor-dinator of the Youth Ministry office in Saskatoon. Students listened to inspi-rational discussions about embracing differences, enjoyed great food, prayer time, zumba, and praise and worship time.

On Oct. 20, two teachers took a trip to Wainwright. Mrs. Bohn and Mrs. Pinkoski, went to listen to a speaker for one of the committees they are a part of. As part of the school’s Health and Well-ness Action Plan, the two staff members went to review our school plan with other East Central Schools.

“I enjoyed listening to him talk, the only thing that wasn’t as much fun was the two hour ride” said the Grade 1teacher.

Another exciting event that took place at Christ-King this week was a visit from East Central’s Superintendent, Mr. McCormack and East Central’s Board Chair, Mr. Brady on Oct. 20. Three stu-dents from our 8/9 classroom; Kirklind Albisser, Nic Juhasz, and Abbey Bohn, toured them around to the classrooms.

“We are overwhelmed by the friend-

liness of the students and teachers at Christ-King,” said Mr. McCormack, and Mr. Brady. All staff and students felt very excited to have them in our school, and enjoyed sharing about all the learn-ing and activities that were taking place in their classrooms.

On Wednesday, Oct. 22, Christ-King was proud to showcase our first Leader in Me Assembly of the year, led by our Grade 2/3s. During this time, they sang the Leader in Me version of “Dynamite” to review the 7 Habits for the entire school. Decked out in their sunglasses and cool hats, the Grade 2/3s had a blast handing out certificates to recognize other students who had demonstrated leadership skills this past month.

October 24 was supposed to be Black and Orange day at Christ-King. How-ever, due to the devastating events in Ottawa, the school rallied together and participated in National Red Day in-stead. It was inspiring to see a sea of red in the halls, representing our support of our fallen soldiers and our Canadian pride.

Classroom Sneak PeakThe Grade 3s have a wonderful class

in Christ-King this year. They are cur-rently finishing their pattern unit in math. In the afternoons, when they join the Grade 2s, they are gearing up to start their hearing and sound science unit, and continue to learn about other countries in social.

Christ-King wears red in honour of Canadian Soldiers

This week was definitely a busy one at Wm. E. Hay as students participated in Challenge Day and buck-led down for project week. The Grade 9s and 10s and a few 11s and 12s were invited to participated in Challenge Day.

Challenge Day allows students to build connec-tion and empathy, and to fulfill the vision that ev-ery child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved, and celebrated. It is an in-tense day of “lowering the waterline” and helping stu-dents to NOTICE – Wake up! Notice what’s happen-ing.

CHOOSE – Dream It! Create a vision for what you DO want your life to look like; and ACT – Do Something! Have the cour-age and commitment it takes to be the change. We send a huge thank you out to all of the community businesses who donated to the program and volunteers who assisted us. Students are encouraged to join the Be the Change team to help promote the goals of Challenge Day within our school and community.

Grade 9s were tested in

math by playing the role of a public relations employ-ee that must plan a social event for 50 clients. Grade 9s and 10s also worked on their science fair projects. In Cosmetology, Grade 9s made their own hair ac-cessories and Grade 10s participated in a braiding contest. The senior cosme-tology students are travel-ling to Red Deer today to look at secondary hair col-leges and two beauty sup-ply places.

There is also a new po-etry slam format where students make a video with their slam poem and pres-ent it. The French 20 class is doing a cultural study on the Acadians who settled in New Orleans and created

“Mardi Gras”, and the math students are partici-pating in various activities such as designing seating in a hockey arena and other demonstrations.

The Biology 20/30 class participated in dissections

of hearts, lungs, and fetal pigs; an activity that seems more appropriate the closer we get to Halloween! We would like to let everyone know that the fall produc-tion of “Bone Chiller” will be performed from Novem-ber 27-29 and tickets will be available at Well’s Fur-niture soon. Also the Wild-cat football team played Sylvan Lake on Thursday. They worked hard and scored many points but it was not enough to beat Sylvan Lake. Friday and Saturday, the senior girls volleyball team played hard in a tournament in Eckville. Keep working hard Wildcats!

Students are reminded that there are many schol-arship and post secondary bits of information that are going in to the memo everyday. If students and parents want information regarding upcoming schol-arship deadlines or post-secondary information, they can contact the Stu-dent Services staff at Wm. E. Hay for lots of informa-tion. And finally, the new Autoclub has begun meet-ing Fridays at noon. That’s all for this week.
