A semi-trailer fl ipped on Highway 12 near Gadsby on Monday afternoon, causing the death of about 50 hogs (below) that were on board, police reported Tuesday.

A truckload of hogs tipped on is side on Highway 12 east of Gadsby and tied up traffi c Monday afternoon and into the evening.
Carrying hogs from Manitoba, the driver was travelling westbound on Highway 12 when his semi-truck wandered off the road about fi ve kilometres east of Gadsby at about 3:30 p.m., reported Stettler RCMP.
“Upon arrival on the scene, the uninjured 65-year-old driver from Acme stated that while reaching for a bottle of pop on the passenger seat, he lost control of the vehicle,” Sgt. Duncan Babchuk said in a news release Tuesday.
The truck was owned by a Manitoba company, which
was hauling 180 hogs for slaughter into Red Deer when the accident occurred near Range Road 16-5.
“Approximately 50 hogs from the shipment either died in the crash, or had to be dispatched on the scene,” Sgt. Babchuk said.
Stettler RCMP, Stettler Regional Fire Rescue and County of Stettler County peace offi cers responded to a 911 call.
The fi re department was required to use the Jaws of Life and other cutting tools to gain access to the turned-over trailer to evacuate the surviving animals.
Stettler Auction Mart and local farmers assisted in transporting the animals.
Careless driving charges are pending against the driver of the semi-truck, police said.
Total loss of property and cleanup costs have yet to be
determined, Sgt. Babchuk said.Crews from Stettler Fire and Rescue were called to
the scene to control traffi c and help remove hogs from the trailer.
“We were on the scene to assist and we cut holes in the trailer to extricate the hogs,” said Deputy Fire Chief Etienne Brugman.
“Doors on the trailer could not be opened, because it was on its side.
“We were also there to help transport pigs to other trucks brought in by local farmers.”
He said fi re crews were on the scene until about 9 p.m., when highway maintenance contractor Carillion arrived to provide traffi c control and assist in the cleanup.
Traffi c was reduced to one lane well into the night, as crews cleaned up and towed the vehicle away.

Falling short in a bid to retain his seats on Stettler town council and Clearview school board in elections last week, Peter Simons says he has simply accepted the results and plans to “move on” with his life.
“I respect the election process and voters did what
they felt was best for the community, and I respect their choices,” said Simons, who fi nished last of the 11 candidates for councillor in the Town of Stettler and last of the three candidates in the Stettler ward for the Clearview School Division.
In the previous election in 2010, he grabbed the sixth and fi nal seat on council, just 12 votes ahead of seventh place and second in a bid for two seats.
“I’m not really interested in analyzing the results,” Simons said.
He said he was proud of his time in service on both council and school board.
“In my terms, as councillor and trustee, I did what was best for residents and I don’t regret anything I did.”
Now, he has given his blessing to the new council and school board.
“I wish the new council and school board all the best in the new term,” Simons said.
Also in the running for two local seats, John Schofer won and lost at the polls last week.
He reclaimed his seat on the Clearview school board for Byemoor-Botha when he beat Rhonda Maginn, while fi nishing third in County of Stettler for Byemoor-Botha. Les Stulberg won that seat.
“The people spoke and you win some, you lose some,” said Schofer, who served on the school board for 12 years before he was unseated in the 2010 election.
Despite his loss in the county race, he’s confi dent in the new councillor.
“I do believe Les will do a good job for the area and county,” Schofer said.
Back on the school board, he’s eager to get to work.
“I look forward to working with the new board and help keep our small rural schools strong,” Schofer said. “I was fi rst asked to run for school board to have a strong voice for rural schools, and then I was approached to run for county council.”
County and town councils and Clearview school board will be sworn in by the end of this week.

Candace Maruk was honoured last week as Stettler’s female citizen of the year.
The presentation was made last Thursday during the Stettler Regional Board of Trade awards dinner.
“It’s a pretty big surprise for me to win,” said Charuk, who moved from Hanna more than 10 years ago to pur-sue a career and lives in Stettler with her husband Steve Maruk with their son Gage, three years old.
“I’m very shocked to get this, but it’s an honour.”
Her nomination for this award in-cludes a mention that “Candace is
walking proof that no good deed is ever too small”.
“You don’t have to be rich, you don’t have to be grand in your ges-tures, but every effort in your commu-nity is noticed and appreciated,” said her nominator.
For her 31st birthday, Candace challenged herself, her family and her friends to perform 31 acts of random kindness and Gage was also involved.
The results were random acts of kindness over Alberta and British Co-lumbia.
These acts included taking a basket of children’s activities to the hospital emergency waiting room.
Gage fi lled candy machines at Wal-mart with quarters and walked away, leaving a pre-paid surprise for the
next child.Candace has spread her kindness
throughout our community and ex-tended it outward.
This year, Candace and her cousin adopted two High River fl ood victim families to support while also aiding her family when personal tragedy struck.
Candace and her cousin canvassed for funds to purchase needed items for the fl ooded families.
Her support assisted the processes of rebuilding their lives.
Each Christmas, Candace also adopts a local family.
She offers assistance with groceries and gifts and directly helps another family celebrate a memorable Christmas.

Garry Kunstman was honoured as Stettler’s male citizen of the year in presentations last week at the Stettler Regional Board of Trade awards din-ner.
“It’s an honour to receive this award,” said Kunstman, who with his wife Gail, have been lifetime residents of Stettler.
“It’s very overwhelming.”Kunstman has been very active in
Stettler as an entrepreneur and com-munity supporter.
In 1965, he formed Garry Kunst-man Construction and through the years, other services were added and businesses were undertaken, includ-ing Shelter King steel buildings.
Through his companies, he has been able to donate metal build-ings for minor soccer, minor base-ball, Stettler Fire Department, West Stettler Park pond aeration and Heartland Victim Services.
Kunstman has been an executive member of Stettler Sabres senior hockey club, Stettler Rifl e and Pistol Club and Stettler Lightning junior B hockey club.
He has been a strong supporter of
the Lightning as an individual sup-porter and game-day corporate spon-sor.
His sponsorship extends to sup-porting free skating at Stettler Rec-reation Centre and sponsoring jer-seys for minor soccer and baseball teams.
The Kunstmans have also been supporters of Stettler Health Ser-vices Foundation golf tournament that also raises funds for Heartland Victim Services.
Now retired, Kunstman actively volunteers for Stettler and District Food Bank as he picks up donations and delivers them to the food bank.

In 2005, Guinness World Book of Records claimed that the largest grapevine in the world is found in Hampton Court near London, Eng-land. That vine was planted under the direction of Lancelot Brown in 1769.
In 1887, its base was four-feet thick ... by 2005, it was 12 feet at the base, and from this singular root, branches and vines stretch out for more than 120 feet.
Even though some of the smaller branches are very far away from the root, their connectivity to the main stem still permits them to yield grapes.
None of this happens by accident. It’s the re-sult of methodical, skilful cutting and pruning.
And, obviously, this pays off — for in 2001, the Hampton Court vine produced 845 pounds of black dessert grapes.
Jesus lived in a land where grapevines were common and in John 15:1–11 (please take the time to read this fascinating passage in its entire-ty), Jesus referred to Himself as, “the true vine.”
His analogy, of course, has to do with how all Christians are a part of Him, the true vine. The implications and applications are numerous and noteworthy.
To begin with, (verses 1–3) discipline is ad-dressed. As a grapevine must be pruned and unproductive or dead branches removed, so dis-cipline must come to those who believe in and follow Christ.
And as with a grapevine, the purpose of this is not to injure the vine, but to increase its health and productivity.
In the next two verses (4, 5) Jesus explains that life and the resultant fruitfulness fl ows only one way … from the vine to the branches.
In Verse 5, Jesus says that abiding in Him re-sults in much fruit and He adds, “... without me you can do nothing.”
The branches are entirely reliant upon their connectedness to the vine. For this reason, the real acid test for any alleged or professing Chris-tian group (or person for that matter) is how they treat Jesus Christ, both theologically and practi-cally.
If they minimize or marginalize Him in any way, shape or form, then they are probably not a part of the true vine.
Finally, like the massive grapevine in Hamp-ton Court, there is also remarkable growth and longevity to “the true vine.”
This Vine, this powerful root, has sent out productive, fruitful branches for the past 2,000 years that have covered the entire globe!
“The branch of the vine does not worry, and toil, and rush here to seek for sunshine, and there to fi nd rain. No, it rests in union and communion with the vine; and at the right time, and in the right way, is the right fruit found on it. Let us so abide in the Lord Jesus.” — Hudson Taylor

By Lori WelbourneIndependent columnist
Are you an organ and tis-sue donor? I thought I was.
I remember many years ago agreeing to become one when I was renewing my driver’s license. But after talking to Shelley Hunt and Jessica Royan, and noticing it no longer indicated that I was a donor on my licence, I wasn’t so sure anymore.
“Canada’s organ do-nation rate is among the world’s worst,” Jessica told me. “It’s become a national crisis and people are need-lessly suffering and dying because of it.”
Since people are no lon-ger asked if they’d like to be a donor when registering for car insurance, there has been a signifi cant decline in donors. Yet the need for them has continued to in-crease.
When Shelley and Jess learned of our nation’s plight, and the fact that a miniscule 15 out of every million people actually be-come organ donors, they
decided to create the “Be-cause I Can Project” to ac-complish two things: create awareness about Canada’s organ shortage, and petition for a change to the registra-tion process.
The compassionate young women, and their new project partner Levi Sampson, are proposing an opt-out program because it has been so successful in other countries.
“Spain is ranked as the world’s highest for organ donations,” Jessica said. “They are an excellent model for Canada and other countries like the United States that desperately need a better system, as well.”
With a new legislation recognizing that each per-son of a legal age is a pre-sumed organ donor, this would mean people would have to de-register their name if they didn’t want to participate.
“This wouldn’t impinge on a person’s right to de-cide the fate of their or-gans,” she said. “But since 95 per cent of people say
they would accept an or-gan if they needed one, and nearly the same amount say they would want to be a do-nor in the event of their own death, it makes more sense to assume most people would want in than out.”
Deceased donors can save the lives of up to eight people, and help dozens more. Shelley, the mother of two young children, isn’t waiting until she dies before becoming a donor, though. She signed up to anonymously donate her kidney. Since meeting a fi ve-year-old boy named Aiden who is in extreme need of one himself, she is now in a partner exchange with him.
“I’m not a match,” she said. “But because we’re partnered, that means that as soon as I’m able to give my kidney to someone, he will be moved to the top of the list and get one, as well.”
Shelley has received some criticism and concern for risking her life, but af-ter extensive research on
becoming a live donor, she is confi dent in her decision and the safety of the proce-dure.
“It might seem crazy, but it will actually put me in a safer position than most other Canadians. When you become a live donor, you’re automatically moved to the top of the list, and if I ever need an organ in the future, I’ll get one sooner.”
My friend Debbie Du-pasquier donated her kid-ney to her mother a couple of years ago, and my friend
David Knowles donated his kidney to his daughter a few years before that. In both cases, the operations were a huge success.
Please go to becausei-canproject.com and check to see if you’re a donor. I was pleased to fi nd out that I still am.
Please also sign the peti-tion provided on the site to change registration to the opt-out program. Once this happens, as in Spain, wait-ing lists will cease to exist in our country.
Have a heart … and save a life
THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY Page A5Wednesday, October 30, 2013
As the fall sitting of the Alberta Legislature con-venes this week, there will be questions to ask and Bills to debate. Among the Legislation up for de-bate will be Bill 208, the Seniors’ Advocate Act, which is sponsored by Wildrose seniors’ critic Kerry Towle, the MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake.
Bill 208 calls for the ap-pointment of an individual whose mandate would be to represent and advocate for seniors — that individ-ual would report directly to all members of the Leg-islature.
The proposed seniors’ advocate’s responsibilities would include standing up for the rights and best interests of all seniors in Alberta, should the request be made by a senior or that of custodial family mem-ber for assistance.
MLA Towle travelled the province last winter hosting forums, which included stops in both Stettler and Drumheller.
The ill-advised AHS policies “divorce-by-nurs-
ing-home” and “one-bath-per week” were found to be far too common through-out Alberta. Not surpris-ingly, they topped the list of issues.
Bill 208 is a personal conundrum when I take into consideration what appointing another govern-ment employee will mean — more government.
Larger government has been progressively taking Alberta in the absolute wrong direction, a trend that does not appear to be coming to an end under the current Alberta govern-ment.
However, when consid-ering the reasons, my col-league felt it necessary to table Bill 208. It gives way to a different perspective that you must view this
bill.Ultimately, the incom-
petence with which the Alberta government has administered seniors’ care in Alberta, warrants the request for the creation of yet another government position.
The need for an advo-cate also clearly signals that the current system is not adequately meeting the needs of Alberta seniors.
The type of failure seems to be nothing new in Alberta. Case in point — property rights.
The Alberta government claimed that we should not be concerned with property rights — yet, in contradic-tion to this claim, they put in place a property rights’ advocate.
If there was no problem
with property rights, then why do we need an advo-cate?
Once again, their ac-tions spoke louder than their words.
At the root of the prob-lem, the Alberta govern-ment’s absolute failure to consider the human con-dition has moved them further away from under-standing what it is to be a senior in Alberta today, and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Begrudgingly I will support Bill 208 the Se-niors’ Advocate Act, all the while realizing that the last thing the debt-ridden province of Alberta needs is another government mouth to feed.
The ineptitude that has been demonstrated by the Alberta government and AHS has created the ne-cessity for yet-bigger gov-ernment once again.
Adequate seniors’ care in Alberta should be a non-partisan issue. I just hope my colleagues on all sides of the house consider that before voting on Bill 208.
Part 2 in a series
The recent Canada/EU free-trade agreement (CETA) signing has seen much speculation on how it will help Canadian beef exports to the EU.
But there are other agricultural commodities involved in the agreement and they too will benefi t if all goes well with the details.
Pork producer groups have been touting the new trade opportunity that CETA will bring their industry — they cite 90,000 tonnes of new tariff free Canadian pork access to the EU.
Sounds pretty good, but then Canadian pork exports to the EU at present amount to about zero tonnes. There should be an opportunity here for Canadian pork exports, but it’s not guaranteed.
That’s because the EU market is essentially self-suffi -cient in pork production and the EU is a signifi cant pork exporter by itself.
I expect any Canadian pork in the EU will face fear-some competition from domestic producers. The Dutch and the Danes invented intensive agriculture and are both sophisticated and robust pork production experts.
Along with the Germans, they have a massive hog pro-duction and pork-processing infrastructure.
Canadian pork should be able to compete on price with EU pork in their own market. EU hog producers face very high production costs with imported feedstuffs, onerous environmental regulations and expensive humane han-dling practices.
The latter is the wildcard that may derail any signifi -cant Canadian imports. You can expect EU pork produc-ing countries to demand that CETA have regulations that equalize the environmental and handling practices relat-ing to pork production in the agreement.
The point being that if EU producers have to meet those costly standards than so must any imported pork.
The EU will also want to pass judgment on any feed additives that are used to produce Canadian pork, but are not available to EU growers.
Another concern is that EU pork production seems to be shifting eastward toward Poland and other low-cost production countries.
Those countries will want to see some import restric-tions before they ratify any new trade agreement.
Producers of cereals, oilseeds and pulses all see some hope of increased exports of their products to the EU in the new agreement.
Some of their production already enters the EU tariff and quota free so that would not change.
Where there are new possibilities is with further pro-cessed fl ours, oils, fi bres and proteins. Many of those products will see tariffs reduced to zero.
Canada is a signifi cant world player in many of those
products, both raw and processed, so competition should favour more Canadian products in the EU.
The elephant in the room is GM plants and pesticide use. EU opposition to GM is well-known and they are quick to ban any product that contains even miniscule traces of any GM residue.
When push comes to shove, one also foresees EU bu-reaucratic mischief with banning products that contain any residue of pesticides or herbicides that are banned in the EU.
There’s one sector that feels sold out by the new agree-ment and they are Canadian cheese producers. CETA calls for the doubling of the quota for tariff free EU fi ne cheese imports.
Dairy producers feel it will drive small Canadian ar-tisan cheese producers out of business under a fl ood of additional EU fi ne cheese imports.
That waits to be seen as those already buying imported fi ne cheeses are more likely to increase their purchases rather than any new customers switching from Canadian cheese.
Most cheese consumed in Canada is commercial ched-dar and mozzarella both brick and processed. It’s unlikely imported EU cheese can displace much of that massive market domination controlled by a few giant Canadian dairy processors.
If Canadian cheese makers have anyone to fear, it’s un-fettered imports from the USA and New Zealand. Both countries produce similar commercial cheese products as Canada.
If CETA is ever ratifi ed, there will be some opportuni-ties for increased Canadian ag exports to the EU if the regulations are fair.
But I expect the increases will be modest and hard fought for being the EU market is already well served by domestic suppliers and other foreign marketers like the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and others.
None of those countries are going to stand quietly by as they lose market share to Canada through CETA. They will not only furiously compete, but will be demanding their own free trade agreements with the EU.
When that occurs, the ag export trade business to the EU might be back to Square One.

By Peter Boys“The Financial Coach”
The subprime mortgage meltdown in 2008 impacted every aspect of the fi nancial services industry and almost brought the world’s bank-ing system to its knees. As a result, regulators in every country, including Canada, are mandating draconian new compliance require-ments.
Take Great Britain. Pre-viously, fi nancial advisers selling regulated products could choose to earn their income by charging their clients a fee for service, or by commission from sell-ing a company’s products. Since the changes intro-duced there at the end of 2012, fi nancial advisers are no longer allowed to be paid commissions from fi nancial services companies. They must set their own fees, based on the services they
offer, and agreed to by the client before any services are provided. This is meant to ensure that the advice they give to their clients is unbiased.
The fi rst effect was that nearly 25 per cent of fi nan-cial advisors left the indus-try. It’s estimated that 80 per cent of the British public will lose access to profes-sional fi nancial advice. The other interesting thing is that, surveys in England and Canada have indicated that the majority of consumers don’t want to pay fees up front, but would rather they were built into their invest-ment or insurance products.
There is ample evidence that average Canadians to-day have too much debt and not enough savings. Many spend more time planning their vacations than their fi nances. It’s evident that many Canadians are already not getting the professional
advice they need. The net result of implementing the same commission restric-tions here will be even more people going into retire-ment dependant on govern-ment support programs and ultimately higher taxes on all of us to support them.
I’ve been a commission-paid person most of my working life, and have al-ways put my client’s interest ahead of my own, and I’ve been well compensated. I always made sure that I was educated on products and what they could do for my clients. I’ve also made sure that I had a full understand-ing of each client’s needs, then matched the product to those needs.
People tell me that I’ve been very lucky all my working life, to which I re-ply, that I work very hard at being lucky every day. I regularly attend seminars and conferences to increase my knowledge. I am mem-bers of the Financial Advi-sors Association of Canada and the Independent Finan-cial Brokers of Canada. I’m a charter member of Cana-dian Association of Farm Advisors and a qualifying member of the Million Dol-lar Round Table.
I do this so that I can have access to current fi -nancial, tax and product information, and to ensure that I adhere to their codes of conduct and ethics.
All the successful advi-sors I know want their cli-ents to be properly advised and protected. If the regula-tors want consumer protec-tion to be the real goal, they should start with measures to improve the professional-ism of advisors. Consumers would benefi t tremendously from a requirement that advisors meet profi ciency standards and adhere to a code of professional and ethical standards that would ensure that client’s interests are always put fi rst.
With this approach, con-sumers would be much bet-ter protected, not by taking away the freedom to choose how they pay their advisors for advice.

The song goes – Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain – well, this week, we have been singing in the snow.
Tricia Kirby’s Show Choir has started, with about 50 enthusiastic members from grades 4 and 5. These singers practice Mon-days at lunch time and have begun prepar-ing for their performance at the K-12 Re-membrance Day ceremony.
Students are not only singing at school — they are also learning new kinesthetic skills like skipping. Skipping club have started and Mondays at noon, Grade 3s practice skipping, while grades 4 and 5 students practise during noon recess on Wednesdays.
Gym teachers are very impressed with the great turn out. Grade 4 intramurals is Tuesday at noon and Thursday at noon is grade 5. We have been playing dodge ball and the 60 kids in the gym have been do-ing a great job using the 7 habits and being good leaders. The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Stettler Elementary School!
The Scholastic Book Fair will be located in the Stettler Elementary School Library between 6 and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 20, and Thursday, Nov. 21 (during parent-teacher interviews). EVERYONE WEL-COME! Make a point of dropping by the book fair while you are in the school for Parent-Teacher Interviews. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 will make a visit to the Book Fair with their class.
A notice will be sent home advising you of the date and time. Feel free to at-tend the Book Fair with your child to help them choose just the right book. Draw slips for the Grand Prize Draw ($25 spending for one student and $25 spending for their teacher) can ONLY be submitted by visit-ing the Book Fair on Wednesday or Thurs-day evening.
Choose from hundreds of books as well
as a variety of pencils, erasers and book-marks and novelty items. (Have your Christmas list in hand!) Most books will be priced in the $5 - $15 range, although some hardcover and novelty books are available in the $20-plus range. Some specials may apply! Check them out! Each book with a list price of more than $3 will receive a dollar off. (Discount does not apply to non-book items.) Come and share the joy of reading!
Grade 1 teachers are very pleased with the parental involvement regarding the HRAH program. (Home reading at home). Please continue to read daily with your child. We are also pleased to announce that our healthy snack bin program started last week. These bins provide students with healthy snacks. Thank you to all who help organize this.
Kindergarten students also enjoyed a fun Pumpkin Olympic day this past Friday. Stu-dents rotated among 4 stations and enjoyed songs, stories, crafts, games and many other fun activities.
KKT also wants to thank Julie Symes for giving our class a pumpkin carving demon-stration. We love our two very beautiful Jack-o-lanterns.
Students were inspired to get rid of the “junk” as they referred to seed and shine their little lights by being kind and caring people.
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fi re cannons to call at-tention to their shining- they just shine.
— Dwight L. Moody.
We would like to thank our parents who shine by diligently making healthy break-fast, packing lunches, help with spelling words, listening to reading, fi nd lost mitts and just loving your children. As teachers, we are here to partner with your help to pre-pare your child for a bright, shiny future.

Halloween is just around the corner and Stettler Mid-dle School students are excited to show off their creativ-ity with their costumes.
As we have in previous years, Y-Cat is hosting a cos-tume contest where multiple prizes will be handed out for different categories. Categories in previous years have included most realistic, scariest, funniest, most creative, and many more.
This year, we are learning about the “7 Habits For Highly Effective Teens”. The seven topics we will be covering are: Be Proactive, Begin With the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw. We are spending most of the time working on these during our CIA (Characters In Action) classes.
This month, we are specifically focusing on topic two: Begin With the End in Mind. During this topic, we discuss goal setting and reaching your goals.
Volleyball is very big in SMS right now. The girls’ first team and the boys played Big Valley last Wednes-day at home. The girls played well and won all their sets, while the boys did great as well, winning four of their sets. The girls’ second team played in Erskine and played exceptionally well against the strong rivals.
On Oct. 16, the first girls’ team also played Erskine, where they battled, but lost three sets.The second girls’ team and the boys hosted Byemoor. Both teams played well, while winning most of their sets.
Stettler Middle School had the honour of host-ing boys’ and girls’ tournaments this past Saturday in Stettler. The teams that played were: Coronation, Gus Wetter, Donalda, Brownfield, Theresetta, Drumheller, and of course all 3 of our teams. Watch next week for the results.
All the teams are practising hard in preparation for CARA playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 2. The round-robin begins today, with the boys heading to Donalda, and both girls’ teams heading to Byemoor. Good luck to all players!
After a couple months of hard work, our first report cards are coming out on Nov. 15.
Students are excited to impress their parents with their hard work, and find out for themselves how well they have been doing.
Parent-teacher interviews will follow on Nov. 21.
In honour of the soldiers who have fought for our country, we are holding the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the William E Hay High School on Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. The ceremony consists of performances from the high school band program and the elementary school show choir. We also have a moment of silence in honour and remembrance and are honored by members of the Legion who take part in the ceremony.
Our students were lucky enough to visit the “It’s An Honour” exhibit on Friday, as it made a stop here in Stettler. It was an amazing interactive display of all the honours and awards given to Canadians who have done some outstanding things.
We learned about the role of the Governor General, the different types of honors and who were the different recipients of those honors. It was a fantastic presenta-tion and everyone enjoyed it.

Congratulations to the Sullivan Lake West Agricultural Society on having its video selected for the top fi ve in the UFA contest — Rural from the Roots Up Get ‘n’ Give.
The prize is $50,000 and is designed to support rural communities to build stron-ger communities.
The local agricultural society would make improvements to the arena and ball diamonds in Byemoor, should they be named the winners.
The video was done well to show a young and vibrant community. Good luck to the agricultural society in its quest.
The arena in Byemoor was a busy place on Saturday as three local hockey teams had games.
The pee wee team won 9-2 in its game against Castor. On Sunday they played in Lacombe and won that game by a wide margin.
The novice team had a very good game, but Kneehill won 9-6.
The atoms played against Castor, with Castor being the victors.
The girls’ team played in Clive on Sat-urday and won 5-4 in their game against Lacombe.
The mites didn’t play this weekend.Heather Tucker is in charge of ice
maintenance and caretaker of the arena this year.
Winnie Paulsen accompanied her daughter and grandson Shelly and Paul DeMaere of Red Deer to Saskatoon on the weekend where Paul was in a swim-ming competition. They visited Winnie’s
sister and brother-in-law, Joyce and Dick Moore, while in Saskatoon.
We send get-well wishes to David Bu-chwitz who is recovering from surgery in the Red Deer hospital and to Mary Braun, who is also hospitalized.

The unique shop was once a one-room school house, called Orlando, which was built in 1912. It was moved in from the Craigmyle district and is well worth checking out.
Rhonda is searching for photos of the building when it was still being used as a school. If anyone can help out please call her at 403-665-2431.

There was a world-class curling tournament held in Brooks this past week-end, with curlers such as Kevin Martin, Koe, Alrude of Norway, Niklas Edin of Sweden and our own Al-bert Gerdung, competing for prizes of $70,000 at the Cactus Pheasant Classic Curling tournament.
Albert is brother to Hugo and Al Gerdung of Rumsey and skip to a team of local Brooks curlers, including Matt Hoffman, Darren Greirson and Ja-son Lindgren, who played against national and inter-national teams this past weekend.
They had three chal-lenging games, including their fi rst one against the
team from Sweden. What a thrill that must have been to play at that calibre.
Lorraine Foesier is home from the hospital, so give her a call to wish her well in her recovery. I am sure it is good to be home again. We are glad to have you back where you be-long, Lorraine.
The local election is all fi nished for another four years and with 176 people making an effort to come out and mark their X in the box, we now have our county councillor, Allen Avramenko, back in his seat doing his best for our county.
I would like to extend a thank you to Jim Krywcum for putting his name out there to challenge Allen. That required lots of effort and time and it was good to know you were willing to take on the job.
Curling in our own com-munity is getting going and Ken MacFarlane called to let me know that he has taken on the job of organiz-ing the Open League and Super League team entries so if you have a team to put in or would just like to throw your name into a hat as a regular or spare Ken is the person to call.
You will fi nd him at 403-368-2128. Remember that Melaine Monaco is taking care of entries for the Ladies Open League, so give her a call if that is of interest to you: 403-321-0796.
The memorial for Chris Jensen was held on this past Monday at the hall and was attended by many friends and family members. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family at this time, because as anyone knows, the grieving for a loved one is not over in a week or a month.
Remember to go and have a visit long after the funeral is over, because sometime that is when the people left behind feel the absence the most.
The Rumsey Ag Society organized a Beef Informa-tion day to be held today. I hope you found the time to attend. Please keep in mind that they will be plan-ning a Grain/Crop informa-tion day as well, so if you have ideas you would like see discussed, let Kent Ho-lowath know and he will do his best to bring it to the information day.
The Big Valley Rec Hockey group will be start-ing up this Friday, Nov. 1, at the Big Valley Arena. It
offers hockey to ages 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18 years of age. We practise once a week; Fridays for the two older groups and Wednes-day for the younger group; and guarantee two games a month.
The fees are $150 for the year and we defi nitely take a much more relaxed pace to the great game of hockey, with all the fun in-tact.
This is non-contact hockey played by gentle-men’s rules, so it opens the doors to all sizes, abilities and gender of player. If you are interested in getting your son or daughter into the arena this year, give me a call or just show up on Fridays or Wednesdays with full equipment and we will fi nd a spot for you on the team.
The Rumsey Commu-nity Library 2014 Calendar has arrived at the library and is for sale for the amaz-ing low price of $15! That is my toughest salesman talk, right there, that’s all I’ve got. If you remember, the photos featured in this calendar were all submit-ted by local amateur pho-tographers and were cho-sen by a very large group of judges (anyone who at-tended the Rumsey Garden Show was asked to take a judging sheet and write in their favourites).
After I tallied the re-sults, I took the winning photographs and created the new and exciting 2014 calendar. It turned out great and each photograph is re-ally special in its own way. I would like to thank the contributors again for tak-ing the time to put in their submissions and the many people who served as my judges; a special thanks to my sister-in-law Susan, for taking my place at the show, because I had dou-ble-booked myself again. I will bring the calendars to the Fall Supper to show off, so if you want to catch me there to purchase one, that would be wonderful.
And last but not least, I hope you have marked on your calendar that the Fall Supper for it is this Satur-day, Nov. 2, and will start at 5 p.m., serving up the turkey. This is always a de-licious meal open to every-one in the community and beyond so spread the word and come out for a great meal and a dance featuring the band, Domino, starting at 9 p.m.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

An old-fashioned cattle drive took place recently when the South Gadsby Hutterite Colony brought 150 cows north to the Red Willow Colony, making an overnight stop at Merle Gordon’s place.
They staked out their horses, had a steak fry and slept under the stars, heading out in the morning, a great sight to see.
Another sight was in the Village of Gadsby when a very large moose wandered in, unsure of how to get back out of town. No damage was reported.
While in Red Deer, Julius Duris ran into an old Gadsby friend, Art Frayne. They had a good visit, caught up on family news and talked old times.
The week before, Tom Sugden saw many old friends when attending Bill Boyd’s funeral. Tom taught school at Shooting Lake, south of Gadsby, and lives in Rocky now.
A dorrection: Dave Stadelmann’s wedding should have read: “Theres Tschudi-Stadelmann, Dave’s godmother.” A bit of incorrect information had been sent my way.
Fred and Velvet Entwisle are busy trying to beat the winter weather coming, having nearly completed an en-trance/deck addition to their home.
Meanwhile, Jack and Judy Geisbrecht are busy siding, landscaping on their new site.
We welcome Jacqui Smith-Purvis, who has moved into Gadsby and taken up residency in the former Davits home. The fence around Laura and Ray Stevenson’s home is a beautiful addition to their place.
Congratulations to our new village council. To mayor, Laura Kelly-Stevenson, Deputy Mayor Brian Burks and incumbent Fred Entwisle. And to the county incumbent, Gregg Jackson, who received the most votes in Ward 4.
Get-well wishes to Betty Hadwin, who is recovering from surgery on her hands.
There were 110 paid adults at the door on Saturday for the 93rd annual Omega Circle Bazaar. There were also 16 children, another successful day thanks to all who came, and the last glorious summer day for it!

Cowboys have voted Maxine Baird to be a tim-er at the Canadian Finals rodeo, held in Edmonton from Nov. 6 to 10, for the 25th consecutive year.
Baird started timing at the local summer rodeos when husband Bob was a pickup man on the rodeo circuit.
The “Outlaw Buckers,” owned by Bob Baird and Rod Shellenberg, will have 22 horses and nine bulls at the CFR this year. The Bairds’ six-year-old brah-ma cross-bull, “Red Stag,” is the bull-riders’ choice as Canadian bull of the year.
Though they have won other accolades, this is a first time award for Bob
and Maxine, who raised the young bull on their farm east of Halkirk.
Mother Teresa Catho-lic School held its awards night on Tuesday eve-ning. Emcee for the pro-gram was Hailey Mc-Neil. Coy Schilling was recognized with the most improved reading award; Charles Muncy, represent-ing the Halkirk Elks, pre-sented Katelyn Dahmer and Simon Muncy with the female and male Grade 9 academic awards.
The Mary Ann (Far-nalls) Theaker award for achievement in the arts went to Tiana Gamroth and Leif Neufeld. Those two students also received the junior high athletic awards. Hailey Grice won the Sam Draganuk citizen award, while Simon Mun-
cy accepted the perfect-attendance award.
The school choir, un-der the direction of Mrs. Turre, entertained and the parents served lunch.
Congratulations to all the students on their achievements.
On Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, shots from a pellet gun damaged the County of Paintearth school bus located on Al-berta Avenue, breaking or shattering five windows. A car and a truck at another location also suffered damage. Police are inves-tigating the incidents.
Simon Muncy and Seth Neufeld, members of the Gus Wetter senior boys’ volleyball team, coached by Lee Fowler and Corw-yn Sollick, placed second at a tournament in Eck-

Winter hit on Sunday, with temperatures drop-ping to minus-10.
We were on the outer edge of the storm, with our roads only wet at times.
Other places in the province were not so lucky, with Calgary’s roads turn-ing to ice and cars hitting the ditch on both sides of the road.
Erskine United Church would like to announce that they have a service on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 9 a.m.
All are welcome to at-tend. They would also like to wish Rev. Susan Bowyer well on her new full-time
appointment in Consort.Halloween night should
be back to great weather for trick-or-treaters, as it’s
forecast for a high of 9.Parents, please make
sure children going door to door have some kind
of refl ective-wear on them, because there are only a few streetlights in Erskine.

In many respects, it’s been an emotional fall for Big Valley boy Ty Mappin.
In between his brother Kyle’s wedding last month and his grandfather’s death this month, the 17-year-old Mappin changed hockey addresses early in his NHL draft year.
He left the Everett (Wash.) Silvertips — the Western Hockey League team that drafted him seventh overall in the 2011 bantam draft — and joined the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
After playing a full major junior season as a 16-year-old, Mappin was poised to step into a greater role this season with Everett, but that wasn’t the vibe he received during training camp and the pre-season. So he sought a move to the AJHL, and the Silvertips obliged.
“It’s a good change,” Mappin said last Friday night after assisting on two goals in the Grizzlys’ 5-2 win over the host Camrose Kodiaks.
“Everett had a really strong team this year, so I didn’t know if I would be able to crack their top two lines. I felt like I could be more productive and show myself more play-ing in junior A, playing on the top two lines and getting that power-play time, kind of showing scouts that I can play.
“I mean, you don’t want to take that step down, but I thought it was appropriate to build up my skills some more, so then maybe next year I’ll go back and be able to crack those top two lines and I guess show the WHL that I can play in that league and be a top player.”
Mappin was relatively satisfi ed with his WHL rookie season, during which he scored fi ve goals and 17 points in 63 games with a rebuilding Everett team.
In the off-season, the Silvertips brought back part of their past in former NHL coach Kevin Constantine, and added the likes of Edmonton Oilers prospect Jujhar Khaira, a six-foot-four, 215-pound forward.
The early returns for Everett are promising. The Sil-vertips have climbed to the upper echelon of the Western Conference.
“With them bringing in those top guys, like Jujhar and some of the 20-year-old forwards, it’s hard to crack those top two lines,” said Mappin, a fi ve-foot-11, 175-pound centre. “That’s pretty much the main reason why I decided to come to Olds.”
Mappin had returned home to Big Valley even before he fi nalized his AJHL plans. He sent text messages to his for-mer minor hockey teammates with central Alberta teams.
“I came back home and put my name out there,” he said. “I asked guys with Camrose, Olds (and) Drumheller what they think of the organization and I ended up coming to Olds. It was (almost) too good to be true, with the lines, and I know quite a few people on the team, which makes it a lot easier to get in with the guys.
“I used to play bantam AA with Landon Kletke, so he made it pretty easy to join, or persuade me to come to this team. And I met with Brett Hopfe, the coach of Olds. We sat down and had a talk, and he told me all the good things about coming to Olds, so I decided this was the spot that I wanted to come to.”

Wyatt Thurston, 22, of Big Valley rides Pistol Annie during the opening round of saddle-bronc competition at the Maintoba Rodeo Cowboys Association fi nals last week in Brandon. Thurston won the championship.
JOHN MACNEILIndependent editor
En route to a Triple Crown victory, Wyatt Thur-ston persevered like a true cowboy last weekend.
The Big Valley saddle-bronc rider capped his championship hat trick Sat-urday in Brandon, winning the Manitoba Rodeo Cow-boys Association fi nals just two weeks after taking the Foothills Cowboys Associ-ation fi nals and eight weeks after earning the Wildrose Rodeo Association crown.
Sitting pretty all weekend at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Thurston’s tough-est ride might have come even before he crossed the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border.
He was headed to Bran-don last Wednesday night, or early Thursday morn-ing, with fellow Big Valley cowboys Colter and Jeremy Harden when Thurston’s vehicle — a 2010 Dodge Caravan — vcollided with a
deer near Davidson, Sask.“We had a hell of a time
getting out there,” he said. “I hit a deer and wrote my van off. We smoked a deer about 2:30 in the morn-ing. We were just clipping along, it was dark, and he came out of nowhere.”
Stranded roadside in the dark of the night, Thurston contacted an Australian cowboy buddy who resides in Regina.
“We got him out of bed and he came and got us,” Thurston said. “We sat on the side of the road and just about froze to death for two hours, and then he got us and we headed out.”
Fortunately, the rest of the weekend was a much smoother ride for the 22-year-old Thurston, the oldest of three boys in a prominent cowboy family.
“It was a good fi nals,” he said. “I managed to get it together and I pieced to-gether three really good rides through the weekend.

“That’s a really fun fi nals, and it’s a re-ally good rodeo. It’s just a really good town — a lot of fun.”
Thurston set up himself well, winning the opening two rounds last Thursday and Friday, and fi nishing second in the fi nal round Saturday.
“The broncs were really, really good, and I ended up being the only guy in the fi rst round to get a score,” he said. “So that made my shot in the average quite a bit big-ger than everyone else’s, because I ended up being the only guy that got a score in all three rounds.”
It’s been that kind of a fall season for Thurston, who has had the golden touch at the most opportune time. He has collected more than $8,000 from his three straight rodeo championship performances.
“I’ve been really good in the fall,” he said. “I’ve kind of knuckled down under pressure and seem to keep getting the job done, so it keeps going good.
“My summer didn’t go quite as well as I had hoped it would, but I got by and I got through some problems that I was hav-ing with my ridin’. And for the last two months, it’s been really good. It’s just kept getting better and better. I’ve really strived to fi x the little things in my riding and just to try to make a better ride every time I get on, and it’s really paid off at these fi nals.”
Just a year removed from a U.S. col-lege stint, Thurston’s youthful exuberance matches the spirit of each fi nals weekend, with big crowds in the stands and extra cash on the line.
“I really like it,” he said. “If the crowd is always into it, you want to bring your game up a notch. At a fi nals, you want to get better, because you know that every-body else there is going to be trying to do their utmost best.
“I live for it. I’ve always liked the fi nals and the fi nals setting.”
Along with almost $9,000, Thurston has taken home a saddle and two buckles from his championship haul.
He earned $3,233 as the saddle-bronc champion at the FCA fi nals, the Cowboy Classic, in Red Deer on Thanksgiving weekend. He added to the pot last week-end, but he’s not necessarily earmarking those winnings toward a down payment on a new vehicle.
“I’m hoping the insurance makes the down payment on the next van,” he quipped.
His Aussie friend — whom Thurston had planned to pick up in Regina on the way to Brandon — played the rescue role last week.
“This stuff always happens in the rodeo world,” he said. “The cowboys all do their best to take care of each other, and you know that 90 per cent of them would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it.”
Not deterred, Thurston is back on the road this week for a Canadian Cowboys Association rodeo in Yorkton, Sask., on Friday night, before fl ying out of Regina the next morning bound for a Toronto rodeo running in concert with the Royal Canadian Winter Fair.
“A guy can defi nitely make some money out there, if he does good,” said Thurston, who was invited to participate.
The following week, he plans to head to Edmonton to watch his brother Zeke, 19, compete in novice saddle bronc in the sto-ried Canadian Finals Rodeo.
Zeke, a college rodeo competitor who attends school in Wyoming, earned $4,600 a couple of weekends ago in a World Class Bucking Horse Association Futurity in Montana.
Zeke is the saddle-bronc points leader in the Mountain States Region in college rodeo.
“He’s been having a hell of a fall, too,” Wyatt said of Zeke. “We both kind of turned it on at the same time.”
It’s been a busy summer and fall for Wyatt Thurston, who continues to work full-time in the oilfi eld industry while on the rodeo circuit.

Wyatt Thurston’s championship run has netted him almost $9,000.
‘He’s got to be the most skilled player ...’Continued from Page B1
Including the Grizzlys’ 2-1 loss to the Calgary Canucks at home Saturday night, Mappin has fi ve points — allassists — in 11 games. Despite the zero in the goals column, Mappin has already been a big boost to Olds, say coach/GM Hopfe and Grizzlys hometown captain Spencer Dorowicz.
“He’s still fi nding his groove,” Dorowicz said of Mappin. “He’s been really effective for us. Even though he hasn’t scored yet, he’s done great things for us. He’s growing into his role here really nicely, trying to get in with his line and feel that chemistry out. It’s just a matter of time before he starts popping a lot of goals for us.
“He’s a really skilled player. He’s a power-play guy. He’s really creative and fun to watch, for sure.”
That’s the player central Alberta fans remember from two seasons ago, when Mappin was the top scorer with the Canadian midget AAA champion Red Deer Optimist Rebels, even though he was the team’s lone 15-year-old.
He graduated to the WHL with high expectations last season, during which he was part of Team Pacifi c at the world under-17 championship in Quebec.
“Ty has been through the ringer a little bit, as far as hockey goes,” Hopfe said. “He’s almost like a beaten dog sometimes, at times.
“We’ve been just trying to help him enjoy the game again. Even though he may not be producing as much as he would like on the scoresheet, he’s doing the little things that we really enjoy. Even tonight (Friday’s win at Camrose), he was out there blocking shots the last minute of the game. He got two assists tonight. Once he gets his fi rst goal, there’s going to be a whole bunch of them going in.
“We’re very excited to have the opportunity to have him play on our roster.”
The Grizzlys take a 6-9-4 record into tonight’s road game against the Sherwood Park Crusaders.
Hopfe believes that pro scouts will track Mappin wherever he plays, and that his AJHL stint might just be a stepping-stone.
“There’s no doubt about it, he’s got to be the most skilled player in the league,” Hopfe said. “If not, one of the most skilled players in the league. To be able to have that title at 17 years old, it’s quite an accomplishment.
“He’s going to have a lot of looks from a lot of different teams, NHL-wise, still. We’re hoping that we can push him to that level, and hopefully someone takes a chance on him in the draft.
“We want to help him develop his game to the point where he can go back (to the WHL) and be a fi rst- and second-line guy.”
Primetime and power-play situations enable offensive-minded players like Mappin to do their job. His brother Cass, a former WHL and AJHL player now in the CIS with the University of Lethbridge, advised him of as much dur-ing his late-September conundrum.
“Cass told me some things,” Mappin said. “He said, ‘If it’s not working … you’re too good of a player to be playing that fourth-line, healthy-scratch kind of role.’ I don’t want to sound cocky, but I agree with him, and I decided that this (playing in the AJHL) would be the better idea for me, and kind of get my name out there a bit more.
“I told (the Silvertips) that if they could help me fi nd a team in the AJ, that would be great. They didn’t have any hard feelings about it. They weren’t too disappointed or mad at me, so that’s pretty nice.
“The GM (Garry Davidson) is a really nice guy, so he made the transition back to Alberta pretty easy for me.”
Mappin sat out the Silvertips’ season-opener, after which Davidson told the Everett Herald that Mappin needed to play somewhere this season “where he will get a lot of ice time, so he could develop,” and that might have been dif-fi cult in Everett.
Davidson said he hopes Mappin works his way back to Everett.
Mappin is open to returning to the Silvertips, if they re-tain his playing rights.
“We’ll see how the season goes,” he said. “It’s a hard choice right now — it’s the start of the season. So we’ll see by the end of the (season), or in the summer. See what they do with my rights, or if they keep me, then that’s even better.
“I think I’m going to stick it out here (in the AJHL) for the rest of the (season). If they ever need a call-up, I’ll cer-tainly be there for them if they ever need everything. But for now, I think it’s better if I stay here. I told the (Olds) coaches that, this year, I’ll try to help them win a championship.”
Mappin’s new hockey home is close to his family’s farm. It’s a short route between Olds and Big Valley.
“I might speed a little bit, but I’ll make it there in about 40 minutes,” Mappin said with a smile. “It’s pretty nice to be able to go back to the farm and spend some time with my parents. Pretty much every Sunday, we get off, so that’s when I will most likely head home.
“Last year (in Everett) was a handful. It was hard to be away from my parents and my brothers, and the whole fam-ily. It’s nice to get back and see them every home game, or pretty much every game. It’s nice to have family support.”

DUPONTThe family of Jacques Dupont wish to express our deepest and heartfelt thankyou to all those who have touched our hearts and lives with expressions of sympathy; for the cards, phone calls, flowers, food, thoughts and prayers; Thank-you.A special thank you to Father Don and the staff of Christ-King Catholic Church, to the CWL for the lunch, Phil for leading the singing, Veronica for the music, and all others involved with the prayer and funeral service who perhaps we were not able to thank personally. A special thank you to Dr. Lockhat, whose professional care and dedication helped to ensure the highest possible quality of life, especially in these last years. A special mention must also be made of all the other care professionals; Physicians, Chiropractors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, and Massage therapists who journeyed with Dad, some for extended periods of time, some for just a few treatments. A heartfelt thank you to Wanda, who brought Dad comfort and relief with her dedicated, professional, and compassionate care while he was a resident at Heritage House. You will remain in our hearts. Deep gratitude to the very dedicated Home Care workers whose care allowed Dad to remain at home for as long as possible. Those of you who made two and three trips in a day, arranged for emergency appointments, and went way beyond the call of duty; You are not forgotten; Thank you. To all the Nursing and care staff at Heritage House, Recreation staff, and Volunteers, Kitchen and dining room workers, Cleaning and Maintenance staff and anyone who perhaps are being missed in identifying these areas. Linda; for your extra special care at mealtimes, for preparing the tea-just the way he liked it, and for all those little specials you made as he grew weaker. You treated him like he was your own family. It was noticed and we are deeply thankful. To all of you who tried so hard to include Dad in your recreational activities and events even when he often said no; we will not forget. To those who offered pastoral care, visitors, for every expression of love, be it through sometimes heroic patience and compassion, or simply for a warm smile we cannot express sufficient thanks. Finally to Sylvie and the staff at Brennen Funeral Home who professionally and compassionately handled the funeral arrangements, we express our sincere gratitude.
I am truly honored and thankfulfor being named Stettler’s
“Male Citizen of the Year”, 2013. Thanks to Tom Fisher and Brian Petersen for the nominations,
to the Stettler Regional Board of Tradestaff and members for selecting me, and to the Corp. sponsors for their participation. Also, thanks to everyone
who came out to supportall of the winners and enjoy the
Awards night program.

Stettler Minor Hockey Association has opened a new season with more players and teams on board.
“We have added a few teams to our association,” said second-year presi-dent Jason Hegberg. “An atom female team will play for the first time this year. We’ve also added a third male team to the midget category.
“It is awesome to see that more girls are coming out to play. Hope-fully, those girls will stay with the pro-gram and play up until they’re done in midget. The bantam and midget female teams both have full rosters.”
Although female hockey is making inroads, there’s no girls’ team at the peewee level.
Stettler is icing 15 teams — A, B and C — in atom, peewee, bantam and midget boys’ categories. More than 220 players are registered with those teams, and the association also has four novice teams.
The novice division hosts its annual tournament this Saturday and Sunday.
Check it outThe peewee division is adjusting a
new Hockey Alberta rule that prohibits checking at that level.
“The peewee A team has played one game thus far, and the rule hasn’t affected us, at all,” said Hegberg, the head coach of that team. “I’m a strong believer in teaching the kids techniques like angling to help them use proper contact methods for the game. I’ve taught the kids these techniques since I started coaching.
“Regardless if the kids are able to hit or not, they are allowed to check. It’s not true that there is no contact in peewee. There are certain situations in the game where contact isn’t allowed. I believe that the rule has not taken con-tact right out of the game. The no-hit rule is trying to prevent bad situations where players can get hurt due to the size difference of kids at that age.”
The rule change is similar to the new standard across Canada. The Al-berta decision came just a couple of months after Stettler’s peewee A team won the provincial championship.
“At first, I was unsure of the rea-soning of why Hockey Alberta took hitting out of peewee,” Hegberg said. “But from what I heard about it, I’m fine with it. I think there is no need for hitting at the peewee level. I feel our kids have already transitioned to play without having to hit. It will help the kids as they move into bantam, be-cause they will be able to angle better and get themselves into positions so the players can make good checks.”
Tournament timeAll of the Stettler minor hockey
teams have scheduled home tourna-ments for their respective divisions. They begin with the novice tourney this weekend.
Last season was a banner season for the Stettler association, which pro-duced provincial champions in pee-wee A, bantam A and midget B (with Stettler’s midget A team), along with multiple North Central Minor Hockey Association titles.
The bantam A team won its provin-cial title on home ice.
“We haven’t chose which team (or division) will hold provincials yet, but we are going to place a bid to host pro-vincials,” Hegberg said. “We’ve hosted provincials for the past two years. It is a fundraiser for our association, it puts our volunteers to work, and our com-munity puts on a great event. We’ve had great comments from Hockey Al-berta, so we’ve continued to do it.”
Development modelMore than 250 kids are registered
with the Stettler association.“We’re looking forward to another
great year,” Hegberg said. “We had a good successful last year, as far as player development. Winning isn’t the most important thing, but we strive for it. I think every kid wants to win a championship. For us to bring home three provincial banners last year is quite outstanding.

“Whether or not we can repeat that (success) or make it better, who knows,” Hegberg said. “We like to see all of our teams compete, and if they can make it to the provin-cial level and represent our community strongly and show them what our hockey program is about, then that is great.”
Stettler had paid par-ticular attention to devel-opment at the grassroots levels.
“For the last three to four years, we’ve been making strides at out younger programs, mites and novice,” the presi-dent said. “We are seeing benefits from those kids that have gone through Stettler’s program by showing more skill devel-opment and skating devel-opment as a group.
“I believe we’ll have a good solid year. Every-body needs to remember that the kids are just out here to play hockey. These kids aren’t (pro) hockey players, they are just kids playing hockey with our program.”
Hegberg stressed that parents must understand their kids are in the rink to have fun.
“We’ve got to remem-
ber what we are doing and where we are at, and keep-ing out heads on straight,” he said. “Let our referees do their job, and let the coaches do theirs. We just want to have a good, fun year.”
Coaches gain adviceA couple of weeks ago,
Stettler hosted the third of seven sessions in a coach-es’ mentorship program.
“Doug Swanson, a sports psychologist origi-nally from Stettler, has been doing a seven-ses-sion program for coaches to attend,” Hegberg said.
“We do like programs like this that help both our kids and coaches in de-velopment. Swanson has been here twice before in years past. We usually get 30 to 40 coaches out to our event. Swanson has worked with high-calibre athletes.
“For coaches to come and listen to him talk, it will help our coaches progress and benefit from this program, which will in turn help our kids out.”
Tournament scheduleAfter the novice tour-
nament this weekend, the atoms go Nov. 22-24, fe-males Dec. 7-8, midgets Jan. 3-5, bantams Jan. 17-19, peewees Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, and mites Feb. 15.

The Stettler senior and JV girls were slated to play volleyball in Wetaskiwin this Tuesday, one night after the senior and JV boys were on their home court.
This past weekend, the Stettler JV girls’ volleyball team travelled to Calgary for a tournament at Rundle College. The girls won their second game, but it wasn’t enough to advance to the fi nals.
Last week, the JV girls faced Ponoka and lost 25-20 and 25-21, but won a third set.
Stettler came out on top of a three-set battle with Rocky Mountain House.
Last night, William E. Hay’s JV boys (a 3A school)hosted an exhibition game against a 4A team (Lindsay Thurber of Red Deer).
“We are jumping up a division to play, but we are excited to play against some tougher competition,” said Wildcats coach Brady Armstrong. “We will be playing in a 4A tournament in Red Deer (this) weekend.”
The JV boys played a regular league game this Mon-day night against HJ Cody (Sylvan Lake).
In league play, the JV boys hosted Rocky Mountain House last Monday — and won. The league competi-tion hasn’t been overly challenging for the JV Wildcats, Armstrong said, but this week’s action should present them with a challenge.
“The guys pulled out a win (against Rocky) and even showed a little improvement over our last few games,” Armstrong said.
The senior girls’ Wildcats lost to Rocky Mountain House last Tuesday in Stettler. The senior boys played at home and lost to Lacombe.
Around the schoolWilliam E. Hay hosted a post-secondary fair on
Oct. 17 that allowed students from every grade to inter-act with representatives from various post-secondary in-stitutions. Students were able to talk with advisors from the post-secondary schools to learn about the different schools and their possible studies for after high school.
Last Thursday, William E. Hay held an athletic spirit day/jersey day to recognize all athletes on sports teams thus far in the school year. Students have the chance to sign up to participate in health-discovery day at the Stettler Hospital and Care Centre.
