Hawaiian pig roast fundraiser draws 300MOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The Hawaiian pig roast sup-per, which was organized as a fundraiser for St. George’s Anglican Church at the Stettler Community Hall on Saturday, Sept. 26 brought together 300 people from the community and neighbouring areas.
“We did a Hawaiian night in 2014 and it was so well received that we had to book a bigger hall this time to ac-commodate more people,” said Marg Grandfi eld, organiz-er and part of St. George’s Anglican Church parish. “We would like to thank Henry Johnson and his crew for all their hard work in preparing the roast and everyone who helped make this fundraiser happen.”
The evening started with the uncovering of the pig roast from the underground pit or ‘imu’ as Henry Johnson, the main cook, explained the pro-cess to a group of people gath-ered around to see the whole ritual.
Having lived in Stettler for over three decades, Johnson
has been doing authentic Hawaiian Luau style barbecue for over 35 years.
“As a child on the Big Island of Hawaii, I watched my grand-father and his friends ‘kalua’ (cook) pigs and other foods using the traditional method in an underground oven called an ‘imu’,” said Johnson. “So I credit my grandfather for passing this cultural knowl-edge to me and to ensure that this part of our culture is con-tinued, I have taught my son and grandsons this Pacifi c-Islander tradition.”
Johnson went on to explain that the same method of cook-ing has been used throughout Polynesia for thousands of years, and the oven which is called ‘imu’ in Hawaii is called ‘hangi’ in New Zealand and ‘umu’ in Tahiti and Samoa.
“The Hawaiian ‘imu’ is a pit dug into the earth, 16-18 inches deep, the size being determined by the quantity of food to be cooked,” said Johnson. “The average size to cook a 100-pound dressed hog and enough baked potatoes and corn on the cob to feed 100 people is approximately
three feet wide and four feet long, but this would be for a Canadian Luau.”
According to Johnson, in Hawaii a hog is cooked with sweet potatoes or yams, bread, fruit and other Hawaiian foods.
Once dug, the ‘imu’ is fi lled with enough fi rewood to cook the food.
Lava rocks called ‘pohaku imu’ are placed on top and the fi re is then lit and permitted to burn for approximately two hours until the lava rocks are hot and the wood is a bed of red hot coals.
In preparation, slits are cut in the hams and front shoul-ders of the hog.
Hot lava rocks are then placed in these slits as well as in the centre cavity to as-sure that the hog, which is wrapped in a basket made of one-inch mesh chicken wire is completely cooked.
“The only condiment used in Hawaii would be pure sea salt, but in addition to the sea salt, I have added other spices to enhance the fl avour,” said Johnson. “In Hawaii, we would place banana leaves
over the ‘imu’ and the food is placed on top covered by more banana leaves, but here in Canada, I substitute corn husks for the banana leaves, and then cover it with wet burlap sacks and a tarp.”
Johnson added that once the preparation is complete the ‘imu’ is sealed with four to fi ve inches of soil.
“By assuring a good seal, and knowing by experience, the heat and other conditions in the ‘imu’, the food is cooked in six hours,” said Johnson. “During the past 35 years, my son and I have cooked over 300 hogs, a hip of buffalo and other wild game roasts, nu-merous large beef roasts and turkeys.”
The event was a sell out with silent auction, supper and entertainment.
“Although we don’t have the total as yet, the funds raised will be used for the gener-al costs of the church,” said Grandfi eld.
Johnson charmed the crowds with his song, while dancers from the Alberta Polynesian Heritage Society kept guests entertained with their dance.

Fundraising efforts benefi t two good causes
STACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
People came and went from the Stettler Alliance Church on Saturday, Sept. 19 and Sunday, Sept. 20, helping raise money for two good causes — one worldwide, and one more local.
The fi rst, the Saturday rummage sale, saw items donated by members of the congregation and community up for sale. The donated items were being sold to raise money for Operation Christmas Child, which sees shoe-boxes loaded with items for children in poverty in third-world countries. The boxes contain a few toys, but also things like let-ters, school supplies, and health supplies.
Julie Weekes, a member of the church’s mission team, and Danea Whitford were manning the till at the rummage sale across the noon hour. She said that items were basically fl ying right out the door.
“The big thing was furni-ture,” Weekes said, adding that it was a surprise to her. “Almost all the furni-ture was gone by the end of the fi rst hour. The rest was gone by the end of the day.”
At the end of the day, once the few expenses were tallied up, the church raised $1,123.65, which will be used to pay for shipping of the shoe boxes as well as the items within.
“It’ll probably cover the cost of about 40 boxes,” Weekes said.
The church has been the collection point for Operation Christmas Child for several years, taking over from Pfeiffer’s House
of Music. Each year, the church hosts a “packing party,” where any mem-ber of the community can come in and help pack boxes for a bit, or the whole day, or even just one or two. Whatever they have time for is welcome, Weekes noted. This year’s party will be Nov. 1 at 1 p.m.
Each box is stuffed with about $20 worth of items before its sealed up and shipped away, she noted.
The following day, the church hosted a movie night. The movie, “Do you believe,” was a fi ctionalized accounting of why and how people have come to believe in the Gospel, God, and Jesus Christ. While the testimony within the fi lm weren’t based on true stories, they were instead built of many, an amalga-mation of several people’s stories of fi nding God.
“It’s got all sorts of sto-
rylines, is sort of interac-tive,” Weekes said. “It chal-lenges beliefs.”
The night’s sales — ad-mission, pop and popcorn sales — went to the fam-ily of Jace Thorsteinson, a local boy who was recently injured in a rodeo training accident.
Thorsteinson is recover-ing but has a long road ahead of him, Weekes said.
“We know how stressful it is for his family right now,” she said. “We just wanted to help.”
T h o u g h t h e Thorsteinsons aren’t part of the church’s congre-gation, Weekes said Jace is friends to many of the families in the church, and that God’s message to be kind to each other and help each other doesn’t pay any attention to hu-man-created guidelines like congregation or faith.
“We’re all praying for his recovery,” she said.

Court lenient on offendersSTACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
An addiction to alco-hol has cost Kenneth MacPherson his home, his business, and his mar-riage, and on Thursday, Sept. 24, it cost him an additional $130.
MacPherson appeared at Alberta Provincial Court in Stettler before Judge J. Mitchell to answer to a charge of breach of proba-tion, which was levelled after RCMP did a check on MacPherson and found him to be impaired.
MacPherson is on proba-tion in relation to assault charges from 2014 after assaulting his ex-wife, who has since divorced him, closed their joint-ly owned business, and
moved away from Stettler.While MacPherson did
attend an alcohol-addic-tion counselling program as part of his probation, the program didn’t stick, as the RCMP’s check on him came after the pro-gram had been complet-ed, the court heard.
MacPherson told the judge about his per-sonal and professional plight and how his addic-tions had cost him, and Mitchell gave him a break, giving him a minor fi ne for the breaching of his conditions.
Taylor Proctor wasn’t as lucky, as both the crown prosecutor and judge re-fused to go easy on him. Proctor came to court requesting to speak to the Crown regarding his
speeding ticket, which had been issued after he was stopped by Bashaw RCMP going 146 km/h in a 100 km/h zone.
Proctor requested the Crown lower the charge slightly, reducing the fi ne and number of demerit points he would earn for his speedy driving, but given the greatly exces-sive speed, the Crown re-fused.
With no alternative, Proctor pleaded guilty and was fi ned.
Donald Emblau, repre-sented by duty counsel Mark Daoust, pleaded guilty to a count of driv-ing without insurance and driving while sus-pended. He pleaded guilty on his fi rst appearance at court, and because of
that, the Crown withdrew a charge of operating an unregistered vehicle.
Driving without insur-ance, once the 30 per cent victim surcharge is factored in, usually comes with a fi ne of well over $3,000, but Judge Mitchell took pity and fi ned Emblau $2,500, in-cluding the surcharge. He was also fi ned $270 plus the surcharge for driving while suspended.
Cody Larson will be back in court for sen-tencing on Nov. 26, after he pleaded guilty to two charges of possession for the purpose of traffi cking. Between now and then, a pre-sentencing report will be completed, and the judge will issue the sen-tence on that day.
Documentary retraces Cook murder and hanging in detail
Compensation for Clearview support staff gets a step up MOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
Clearview support staff saw pos-itive improvements to their agree-ments, which included a salary increase of two per cent, effective Sept. 1, 2015.
Support staff at Clearview in-cludes learning assistants, custo-dians, secretaries, family school liaison workers, librarians, tech-nology system technicians, me-chanics, bus drivers and mainte-nance workers.
There was an improvement in benefits for school-based support staff as well, which includes learn-ing assistants and secretaries, with approximately 20 per cent more
staff now qualifying for benefits.Clearview staff’s benefit plan in-
cludes extended health, dental, vision, and a local government pension plan.
“The updated compensation agreements continue to respect our staff and I am really thank-ful the Board supported for more staff to access benefits,” said Peter Barron, superintendent, Clearview public schools. “Staff felt they were really heard during the dis-cussions, and these improvements will be significant for those staff that do great work for students and learning, but in the past were unable to have health benefits for themselves or their families.”
The Clearview board of trustees
successfully completed discus-sions with support staff the week starting Sept. 21, for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years.
“The staff committees and board committee worked together to-wards improvements for both staff at Clearview,” said Cheri Neitz, chair, Clearview board of trustees. “These improvements will help us to continue to attract and keep our great staff, and ensure our students have the best supports for learning.”
Increases in total compensation, which includes salary and bene-fits for support staff is estimated to be at least 5.2 per cent, pri-marily from more staff accessing benefits.
MUSTAFA ERICINDEPENDENT EDITOR
A new documentary on the murders of the Cook family and the hanging death of Alberta’s last death sentence convict, Robert Raymond Cook, has recently been released and the product goes a long way answering most of the questions in completing the puzzle of the tragedy.
Rick Smallwood, the researcher, writer, director, editor, narrator and everything else of the docu-mentary called “The Grease Pit”, says his documen-tary has been an effort to tell the story of the mur-ders and the trial and the hanging in its entirety.
“When I was young I remember my parents, and especially my grandmother talk about the case. Most Albertans my age all know that Robert Raymond Cook was the last man in Alberta to hang but I never knew why he was hung,” said Smallwood.
In his attempt to answer the question for himself and for those who are interested in the story, which haunted Alberta’s recent history for decades after the hanging of Robert Raymond Cook, Smallwood produced a gripping and well reserached, well told
story, achieving to stay neutral and sticking to the facts throughout.
His research includes interviews with witnesses, RCMP offi cers involved in the search of Cook as he fl ed the police, his attorneys and people of Stettler who have done earlier research on the case of the murder convict.
Throughout the documentary, all information available from the archives, even to the minute de-tails of Robert Raymond Cook’s movements after he was released from prison and his journey to Stettler to meet his father, is painstakingly described in order to give a comprehensive understanding of the mindset of the accused.
Smallwood doesn’t claim to have produced some-thing which will lay the case to rest forever.
“I’m not sure it will ever lay dormant, especially in the Stettler area. It is still a hot button topic and many people become quite upset when any chance of Cook’s possible innocence is brought up. I tried to present the case so that all the facts and scenarios were given the viewer to decide what they think,” he said.
The documentary is available for purchase at the Stettler Museum and online at www.robertcook.ca

New campus structure will benefi t community, Baharally saysMOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
With the commence-ment of the new academ-ic session 2015-2016 the former William E. Hay Composite underwent a signifi cant change as the middle school of Stettler Elementary was combined with the high school and renamed as William E. Hay Stettler Secondary Campus, which now in-cludes grades seven to 12.
This change has been positive, according to prin-cipal Norbert Baharally.
“This is a positive move from both an academic and fi nancial perspec-tive,” said Baharally. “Academically, the move to amalgamating the schools has allowed for more professional devel-opment amongst the staff and collaboration.”
Some of the positive changes have included the
collaboration of the entire staff with the junior high homeroom every Friday on the school’s Response To Intervention (RTI) pro-gram through the Flex Built In (FBI) time, “which has huge benefi ts for our students on the edges” according to Baharally.
“We also now have a larger staff for in-house professional develop-ment, and subject area specialists are able to get together to collabo-rate and work to develop programming,” added the principal.
Kimberley Smyth, cur-rently the chair of the now ‘retired’ William E. Hay Composite High School council said, “As a parent of three boys in grades 11 and 10, the amalgamation hasn’t had an adverse ef-fect on our children thus far. My concerns were voiced and acknowledged at each of the meetings
I attended, both during regular school council meetings and the public forums that were put on throughout the last year.”
Annual general meeting for the newly amalgamat-ed William E. Hay Stettler Secondary Campus is scheduled for Oct. 20.
“Elections for all board positions will be held as a means of starting afresh, encompassing all three schools senior high, junior high and out-reach, and including stu-dents, staff, parents and other stakeholders,” said Smyth. “I had often ques-tioned the validity of hav-ing three separate schools (elementary, middle and high), each with its own library, offi ce, time-tables, etc. existing in the same building complex, operat-ing on three separate bud-gets, with vastly different funding structures, and which were grade confi g-
ured in such a way as to not conform with the Alberta Learning curricu-lum ideals for such fund-ing (grades K-5, 6-8, 9-12, rather than grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12).”
According to Smyth, this renewed configuration now fi ts more convenient-ly with the majority of schools within the public school districts in Alberta.
“The move to amal-gamation has also al-lowed specialist teach-ers to teach in their area of specialty full time, or near to full time),” said Baharally. “Prior to the amalgamation the high school was big enough to need specialist teachers but not quite big enough to employ them full time in their area of expertise which meant they might have been teaching cours-es that are their minor, which is not a bad thing but in general it is better
to teach in your area of expertise.”
Although it is too early in the academic year to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of this move, Baharally feels it is defi nitely a positive move.
Commenting on how the duplication of spac-es have been reduced, Baharally said, “We are able to share spaces that only belonged to one school such as our weight and cardio room, science labs, video conference room and computer labs to name a few. Besides, our junior high students have also been exposed to more option programs than what was available to them before as a mid-dle school.”
Smyth says she is being “cautiously optimistic”.
“I do believe that there may be growing pains, and that any change is often met with concern, which
is to be expected,” said Smyth. “Being cautiously optimistic is how I’m per-sonally trying to address these changes, as well as being empathetic and en-gaged when parents’ con-cerns are brought to the attention of our current school council.”
Baharally has already begun to see the academ-ic and fi nancial benefi ts of the reconfi guration.
“Besides the academic and fi nancial benefi ts that we have already seen, I feel that the long-term benefi ts will be commu-nity wide,” said Baharally. “The senior high students will hopefully begin to take on more mentorship and leadership roles, and though initially some of these roles may seem to be artifi cially created, with time my hope is that organically the senior stu-dents take on more lead-ership roles.”
Stettler’s SolutionCorp ranks 127 in the 27th annual PROFIT 500MOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
SolutionCorp, a Stettler-based company was ranked 127th among Canada’s fastest growing companies on Thursday, Sept. 17 by Canadian Business and PROFIT in its 27th annual edition.
PROFIT 500 ranks Canadian businesses by their fi ve-year revenue growth.
SolutionCorp made the list with fi ve-year revenue growth of 539 per cent.
The company has been specializing in providing compliance solutions for major oil and gas companies, besides helping to design and manage corrosion mitigation programs for over 20,000 km of pipelines for upstream oil and gas industry in west-ern Canada since 2007.
They offer innovative cost-effective solutions that ensure pipeline safety and long-term asset integrity is managed ef-fectively and within compliance to reg-ulations.
“The PROFIT 500 represent the highest tier of entrepreneurialism in Canada,” said James Cowan, editor-in-chief, PROFIT and Canadian Business. “They should be lauded for the positive economic contri-butions they’ve made to their communi-ties – and the entire country.”
The company, which had its humble beginnings in the Town of Stettler was based on the “vision, mission and core values,” according to CEO Dean Lovell.
“This was really the roadmap that we felt would allow us and our future staff to keep focused and sustainable as we grew the company,” said CEO Dean Lovell. “I would say that we did not focus on mak-ing the 2015 PROFIT 500 list, we focused on doing the right things for our custom-ers, and as a result our customers put their trust in SolutionCorp, and we have achieved this “milestone” because they asked us to grow with them.”
SolutionCorp is also a leader in identi-fying and reporting greenhouse gas emis-sions.
“Our advanced tools allow for leaking greenhouse gasses to be identifi ed and re-paired cost effectively, therefore reducing the environmental impact and saving the producers lost revenue due to leaks,” said Lovell. “We were surprised that we ranked 127, it really is a testament to our great staff’s hard work and dedication.”
Having grown up in Stettler and attend-ed the William E. Hay school, both Dean and Jami Lovell knew from the start that it was the place where they wanted to raise a family.
As the CFO, Jami Lovell plays a crucial role in the company and is responsible for steering it fi nancially, and yet she has to maintain the work-life balance on a regular basis.
“Family has always been the top priority for us, but owning your own company it becomes like another child and your
team becomes a part of that family,” said Jami. “Making sure to give quality time to all areas has brought challenges, but Dean and I have designed my offi ce to be home-based and that way we can make sure all bases are covered.”
Growth for SolutionCorp has not come easy, with the team having to expand three times.
“We now have created about fi ve extra offi ces that we have available to grow into instead of just providing offi ces for the staff we have,” said Lovell. “This was not the most effi cient way to do things, but at the time we did not have the capital to expand our space, and we were doubling
up people in offi ces until we created our last expansion.”
Based in a quiet corner of the 46th Street in Stettler, SolutionCorp is here to say as the Lovells do not wish to move the headquarters anywhere.
“Stettler will always be our headquar-ters, but we foresee the requirement to have satellite offi ces in other areas of Alberta and other provinces, in order to keep pace with the demand for pipe-line integrity services, and keeping our clients’ pipelines safe to operate,” said Lovell. “We see the company continuing to grow, and offering our clients solutions that are innovative and cost effective.”

Stettler community shows support at
tailgate partyMOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The Stettler football teams’ fundraiser on Friday, Sept. 25 at the field house was a “suc-cessful” tailgate party, which brought together fans, supporters and pa-trons of the game for an evening of barbecue and football, as the Wildcats took on Camrose Trojans in an ‘under the light’ home game.
“We’re very happy with the attendance at this year’s ‘under the lights’ fundraiser,” said Katie Bainbridge, Wildcats parent and manager of Stettler Panthers. “The stands were packed and the tailgate barbecue and concession were busy all night. It’s great to see the community support for our hometown football teams.”
According to Patty Steen, manager, Stettler Wildcats, the tradi-tion of a tailgate party was a concept used by the Canadian Football League (CFL), who hosted
parties in their parking lots before each home game.
“This ensured that fans and supporters came early to enjoy barbecue food before the game started and Friday it was no different,” said Steen. “We raised just under $1,000, and with a strong crowd of 250 people, the tailgate party was a suc-cess.”
The funds raised will be used for the general running of the club be-sides some work in the concession area of the field house.
The party started at 5 p.m. and continued well after the game as the concession kept busy serving hot dogs and burgers, besides pop and other snacks.
As the evening pro-gressed more people joined the crowds and came out to support home team Wildcats.
“With this tailgate party for the ‘under the lights’ game, as fundrais-ers go we have done two major ones so far, in-
cluding the jamboree in the spring,” said Steen. “We also organize the 50-50s at each home game which raises approxi-mately $100 to $150.”
Emphasizing on com-munity support, Steen was pleased with the turnout and hopes that in the future they are able to organize more fundraisers for the teams.
“The Panthers and Cougars are still work-ing on finishing their rooms,” said Steen. “We have some of the appli-ances but still need a refrigerator and small freezer.”
According to Steen, although much of the work has been complet-ed for the Panthers and Cougars rooms, a lot more needs to be done in terms of the interiors.
“We still have to build a small amount of cup-boards and paint the walls,” said Steen. “And then put everything into place, which requires a few more volunteer hours and effort.”

Big Valley inaugurated its new at-traction, Big Valley Vintage Tools and Collectibles Museum, on Sunday, Sept. 27.
With an attendance of over 60 people, the quiet and still Sunday afternoon in Big Valley came alive as people gathered for the ribbon cutting.
Scheduled to have a grand opening in summer 2016, the new museum is locat-ed off Railway Avenue in Big Valley.
“Although the building is a modern steel quonset type building, the histori-cal society has created a rustic western style front to fi t Big Valley’s historic and rustic type architecture,” said Lois Miller, mayor, Big Valley and treasurer, Big Valley Historical Society. “It is modern and yet has character and is pleasing to look at.”
All of the artifacts and collectibles of the museum were donated by Rod and wife Ione Miller.
According to Lois Miller, Rod and Ione Miller moved to Big Valley about 14 years ago and Rod Miller brought with him a “huge semi-truck and trailer full of his collectibles, scale model trucks, cars and tractors and other knick-knacks but mostly a huge collection of antique tools, with a collection of over 30 years”.
“This collection will display tools from 1800s and beyond and show the historical value of tools,” said Miller. “There is much culture involved with the stories behind how these were used and this collec-tion is extensive and unique to the area, providing great cultural awareness and
interest as well as drawing many tourists to the village.”
From dolls, car models and automo-biles, toys to spanners and various kinds of tools to glassware and parlour heaters, the museum seemed to display a wide array of collectibles.
“Ione and I started buying and selling items with the intention to resell them at fl ea markets and swap meets but after a while we got really interested in keeping them for ourselves,” said Rod Miller, di-rector, Big Valley Historical Society. “Since then we have never looked back and have been to as many swap meets, fl ea mar-kets, antique auctions and garage sales as we could attend, and the collection here is a result of that.”
While Ione was more into glassware, Rod collected tools.
Rod became active with the Big Valley Historical Society and suggested that he would like to display some of his collec-tion for people to enjoy.
The Historical Society provided him with space in an 80-foot railway car they owned.
However, this was only a small portion of his collection so in 2010, an agreement was made between Rod and the Big Valley Historical Society to give his collection to the society as long as a new building could be built to hold it.
“After several years of hard work and fundraising and community support the new 40 foot by 96 foot building is done,” said Miller. “Now the work of cataloguing the collection and getting the displays constructed is in progress.”

Why is Harper so desperate to win once again?
MUSTAFA ERICINDEPENDENT EDITOR
As the voting day approaches, we are wit-nessing a stepped up effort in the campaign by the leaders of all three major parties while the number of gaffes and mishaps also rises.
Most political pundits believe as the live TV debates get more frequent, the leader with the least number of gaffes and errors in their debate performances will reap the most ben-efi t and may have the chance to break the stalemate in the polls to gain the upper hand.
For the moment, NDP appears to have suf-fered some, maybe more than some, erosion of its voter support if the polls are to be believed, mainly due to a loss in Quebec of its support because of Tom Mulcair’s stance on the niqab issue, contradicting the strong tendency in the province for a general ban of niqab.
Liberals and their leader Justin Trudeau seem to be gaining ground with the young Trudeau’s aggressive debating style appearing more and more effective in shutting up his opponents.
It’s the Conservative leader Stephen Harper, however, who appears to be the wildcard of the campaign as he still enigmatically main-tains his support base despite all his gaffes since the beginning of the campaign.
The Conservative leader’s every move seemed to lead to a dead end at some point:
He tried to associate his image with youth by trying to engage with Boy Scouts, he was rebuffed. Then he changed his campaign man-ager who signed up another blunder by trying to make political capital out of this country’s single most beloved fi gure and hero Terry Fox by donating unwanted money to the founda-tion named after him.
And then, after inviting Philippines pres-ident and Indian prime minister to Canada for offi cial visits and appearing with them in public meetings and on TV screens just to se-cure the votes of the immigrant communities of these countries, by simply uttering what probably always was in the back of his mind (he practically said immigrant Canadians were different from “old stock Canadians”), he an-tagonized a major portion of the immigrant population.
Harper continues his campaign of fear-mon-gering, witness his latest move to strip a Canadian, convicted for terrorist activity, off his citizenship over the weekend, again wav-ing the fl ag of terrorism threat which he ap-pears to believe more than anybody else (how sincerely is the question) and has turned it to one of the two main pillars of campaign strat-egy, the other being economy.
All these campaign tactics that Harper’s en-tourage employ, sometimes at the expense of suffering from the boomerang effect, suggest
that the Conservative leader is ready to go the extra mile for another four years in the high-est political offi ce.
OK, all politicians vie for power, and once they grab it they want to hold onto it. But why does Stephen Harper look so desperate to win this election after occupying the top govern-ment seat for almost a full decade?
Does he have a mission yet to be completed? Is there some undertaking or are there prom-ises made to certain quarters that need to be delivered?
Let’s face it: Harper has been a prime minis-ter more of corporate interests and conserva-tive ideology than of Canadian citizens. From the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board to the income splitting for wealthy families, all of his major decisions served the advantaged and the rich rather than the middle class and low income sections of the population and his support base continues to cover mostly well to do sections of the society
It will be interesting to see how Canadian electorate will decide when they cast their bal-lots: Will they be voting in support of change as the polls suggest they will, or will they be renewing their trust in the Conservative lead-er for another term?
If they take the second option, the federal election in 2019 may take place in a more Americanized Canada.
Caribou recovery involves confl icting perspectives….. game farming may be the only answer
WILL VERBOVENAHEAD OF THE HEARD
When Canadians think about caribou at all they envision the vast herds of countless thousands that roam tundra areas mostly in the far northern parts of the country. Well much smaller caribou herds also exist in some of the boreal forested areas in many provinces. They are called Woodland Caribou, with Alberta having an additional subspecies called Mountain Caribou that roam in the Jasper Park area. These unique caribou herds were never large to begin with, but have been in serious decline for the past 50 years, mostly due to hab-itat loss from industrial activity and forest fi res. Both actions have seen increased access by pred-atory wolves into tradi-tional caribou habitat – that increased predation has devastated caribou numbers.
Woodland and moun-tain caribou have been able to survive for millen-nia due to a unique habi-tat niche. They live main-
ly on lichen that grows in dense old growth forests that have high snowfalls. Such living conditions have protected them from signifi cant predation and competition from other ungulates that won’t eat lichen. However, for many years their habi-tat has been penetrat-ed by forestry and oil-fi eld roads, snowmobile trails and seismic rights of way. All of that have made virtual highways for wolf packs to pene-trate deep into caribou habitat with disastrous predation particularly on caribou calves. However that scenario does not explain the decline of the caribou herds located in the National Parks which are not subjected to loss of habitat from industrial activity.
Ten years ago the Alberta PC government created the Alberta Woodland Caribou Recovery Plan to stop the decline in car-ibou numbers. It was a detailed strategy that highlighted the obvious – that being critical caribou habitat had to protect-ed and restored for the
caribou to survive. From that perspective the plan was a dismal failure – as the government of the day continued to honour forestry activity and sold land leases for oil and gas exploration right in vital caribou habitat. To be fair, caribou continued to de-cline even in areas that had no industrial activi-ty. For instance the Banff North mountain caribou herd was wiped out by an avalanche in 2009. The Recovery Plan’s Plan B was to increase preda-tor control by initiating a wolf cull in some of the caribou areas. That action proved to be effective in that it stabilized caribou herd numbers where it was carried out. But in the curious world of en-vironmental self-righ-teousness, green lobby groups admitted wolf control was benefi cial to the caribou, but that they were fundamentally op-posed to the actual killing of wolves. They claimed it was just a short term benefi t – that’s true but live scarce caribou are always better than dead scarce caribou short or
long term.It would seem that until
woodland caribou habitat is rigidly protected, they are a doomed species. What isn’t being consid-ered is selective preserva-tion – that being deciding which areas can realisti-cally be set aside for in-tensive protection for the caribou. Perhaps fencing in caribou and fencing out predators, reforesting open areas and terminat-ing industrial activities is a real strategy. Contrary to popular belief wolves can be eliminated from specifi c areas by inten-sive professional trapping – it was done in many areas of the west in past years. What doesn’t work as well is aerial shooting of wolves by conservation offi cers– their heart isn’t in such activities. What also needs to be done is to raise woodland cari-bou on game farms that can later be released into selected wild areas. An infusion of 100 mature juveniles into an exist-ing caribou habitat would give the species a fi ght-ing chance. Alberta game ranchers have shown
they can raise elk, deer and reindeer – if given the fi nancial incentive they could raise hundreds of woodland caribou in a few years. The point is in the wild, caribou num-bers are so few that real recovery may be impossi-ble without a signifi cant infusion of outside ani-mals.
Only game farm-raised caribou could produce those numbers. But therein lies the quandary – as logical as that may seem to help speed up caribou recovery – most green groups are opposed to game farming.
One expects the new Alberta NDP government will be setting aside big chunks of land to protect woodland caribou habitat – that’s the logical long-term solution. But that alone may be too late – caribou numbers need to be drastically increased – so let game ranchers do that critical job. In the meantime give profes-sional trappers the incen-tive to control wolves in caribou habitats. But then this all may be too much common sense.

Busy pre-preschool week for Share BearSTACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
It’s been a busy few days for Stettler’s Share Bear Play School, which has held both a fundrais-ing barbecue and an open house at its new location in town.
The play school, which has operated for more than three decades, recently moved from its location at the Stettler schools complex to a house on 52 Street. The play school had to seek special zoning ap-proval from council as a play school wasn’t in the range of the home’s nor-mal zoning.
Extensive renovations were needed to make the home perfect for the play school, with fi re rated doors, walls and stairs in-stalled, as well as reno-vations to help open up more space.
From the faces of both the parents and the chil-dren who joined the Monday, Sept. 28 open house, the new play school location is a big hit. Bright, open and airy, the location allowed children to race around playing with each other while parents went on tours or socialized.
“We looked at several op-tions, and this (home) was the most feasible,” Lynne Potter, one of the play school’s teachers, said.
She and Share Bear Play School Society pres-ident Krista Nordstrom explained that earlier in the year, Clearview School Board approached the parent-run play school in-viting it to come under the Clearview umbrella. The school board would take over running the play school.
After a meeting with the parents, a vote was held, and the play school opted to remain parent-run, making its own decisions. The fi rst decision was where to move, as the space at Clearview was no longer available to them.
”We really appreciate what Clearview did for us all these years,” Nordstrom said, wishing to be clear there was no hard feelings between the play school and the school board.
In fact, the location at Clearview had been
cramped for several years, with not enough room to really play the way the new home will let them. But even then, the new home almost didn’t hap-pen.
Without space, the play school was looking at pos-sibly having to close, when a member of the commu-nity — Bernie Jackson of Wells Furniture — came on board, offering to pur-chase a location and rent it to the play school.
“It was like divine inter-vention,” Nordstrom noted with a laugh.
There’s still some work to complete before the play school opens this week. Railings need to be installed on the stairs to the basement play space, padding added to some of the sharp edges, and hooks for the children’s jackets and back-packs need to be installed. For the most part, though, the work remaining is cosmet-ic. The games, the tables, and art and science sta-tions are all waiting for the happy little hands of youngsters in the commu-nity.
The play school runs morning and afternoon sessions every day of the week except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, there is a new morning program which fi lled up pretty much right away, Deidre Northrop, an-other play school teach-er, explained. There’s still some space in the Tuesday-Thursday pro-grams, she noted.
Northrop was one of the play school teachers help-ing at a barbecue held out-side the curling rink on Friday, Sept. 25, while the local Kinettes hosted its annual rummage sale. The two sessions, one in the morning, one in the eve-ning, had the play school selling hot dogs and pulled-pork sandwiches, along with pop and water.
“We sold out of pulled pork in the morning,” Northrop said with a laugh. “We didn’t expect that to happen.” The gap between barbecues allowed the staff to buy more pork and prep it for the afternoon, cooking it up just in time for the post-work rush on the busy rummage sale.

Deception is nothing but a lie reduced to practiceDeception is an erroneous, but commonly em-
ployed coping mechanism. Abraham Lincoln was faced with a thorny question that could have eas-ily been solved by just a bit of deceptive language. Instead, he asked his interrogator, “If we called a calf’s tail a leg, how many legs would the calf have?” His questioner confidently replied, “Five of course!” “No” Replied Lincoln. “Calling a calf’s tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.”
Not only is deception erroneous, but it is unprofit-able…especially in the long term. A lady had baked her family’s favourite cake and they had eaten half of it. Later, all alone, she sat down and ate one slice…then another and another, until she had consumed the entire cake! She was concerned about what her husband and children might think and did not know what to do. Her solution was to bake an identical cake and to eat half of it so no one would know (ex-cept for her, God and the bathroom scales).
We live in a world in which lies and deceit are abundant and come from numerous sources and all directions. Small wonder that the Bible address-es deception repeatedly and seriously. The prophet Jeremiah, minced no words, saying that deceitful-
ness is a core problem for humanity. He wrote, “The human heart is more deceitful than anything else…” (Jeremiah 17:9).
An increasingly prevalent deception in our culture is denying that we are sinners. Yet the Scriptures state that “all have sinned…” (Romans 3:23). The apostle John addressed this matter saying, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves…”
(1 John, 1:8). The denial of personal moral weakness - sin…places us in a position where we have denied that there is a disease; therefore there is no need for cure or care. In biblical teaching, recognizing our need and acting upon it brings deliverance, not de-spair.
Another form of deception involves disobedience. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James, 1:22). It is a good thing to believe the Bible and to read the Bible, but anything short of personally complying with and practically applying its truth, results in self-decep-tion.
The Bible also reminds us not to be deceived about cause and effect. Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be de-ceived…for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” While I believe that salvation and ultimately entrance into heaven is based upon Christ’s finished work, we would be deceiving ourselves if we think we can seed wild oats and harvest #1 wheat.
“All deception in the course of life is indeed nothing else but a lie reduced to practice, and falsehood passing from words into events.”

Mandatory DeerHead Submission
Location of 24-hourfreezers (2015)
As a deer hunter in Alberta, you play an important role in the province’s chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance program.
The government requires CWD testing on all deer harvested within Wildlife Management Units (WMUs): 102, 116, 118, 119, 124, 144, 148, 150, 151, 152, 160, 162, 163, 164, 200, 202, 203, 204, 230, 232, 234, 236, 238, 254, 256, 258, 500, 728, and 730. It is mandatory to submit deer heads harvested in these areas.
In addition, five new mandatory units were added: 138, 142, 156, 158, and 166.
Antlers and skull cap can be removed before the head is submitted.
Each head must have a green CWD label attached. After you shoot your deer, visit a Fish and Wildlife office or, during rifle seasons, one of our 24-hr freezers in eastern Alberta to pick up and fill out BOTH SIDES of a green CWD label. Heads should be kept frozen and dropped off at any Fish and Wildlife office or at any of the freezers.
CWD-negative results are provided at albertarelm.com. Any hunter who harvests a CWD-positive deer will receive a phone call from Fish and Wildlife staff.
For information on hunting in Alberta and chronic wasting disease, including locations of the 24-hr freezers, visit: www.mywildalberta.com. Follow us on Twitter @AB_EP and Facebook at My Wild Alberta.
Thanks to all hunters and landowners for your continued support and co-operation with this important disease surveillance program.

What a beautiful weekend with all the fall colors!
I hope the farmers had a successful time in the fi elds. I know it has been tough going with the moisture levels so high but I sincerely hope all goes well for you as you feed the world.
The Rumsey Historical Society com-mittee is pleased to announce we are about 85 percent done fi ling stories for print. We are still proofreading and will have one more read on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Thank you to those families whose names we missed and contacted late, your stories were sent in so quickly.
We are now into scanning the pic-tures and if you have not sent pictures you wanted in the book, please send to [email protected] a.s.a.p or contact Dariel at 403 368-2120 if you have any questions regarding a story or pictures. We are also looking for any
sketches or drawings someone may have out there that they think would be inter-esting please send to the above address. This is our fi nal notice as we have a deadline to meet as well.
Don’t miss out on a chance to have your history included, because 30 or 50 years from now when your descendents are looking for who they belong to, this will be very important.
Take care, everyone, and have a good week.
After my husband and I had a huge argu-ment, we ended up not talking to each other for days.
Finally, on the third day, he asked where one of his shirts was.
“Oh,” I said, “So now you’re speaking to me.”
He looked confused,“What are you talking about?”“Haven’t you noticed I haven’t spoken to
you for three days?” I challenged.“No,” he said, “I just thought we were
getting along.”

Home improvement projects range from small scale undertakings that can be tackled in a single weekend to large remod-els that can take sever-al months to complete. While no two projects are the same, every home improvement project de-mands that homeowners dip into their pockets and spend some money. Much like the scale of projects varies greatly, so, too, do the financial commit-ments required of home-
owners to make those projects a reality. But no matter the size of the proj-ect, homeowners can fi nd ways to stretch their bud-gets without sacrifi cing the quality of their im-provements.
* Do your homework. Before you decide to make changes to your home, it’s best to fi rst do some re-search into any potential projects you’re consid-ering. Many homeown-ers have decided to dive into a project before they
fully realize its scope and cost, and going in blind can bust a budget, turning what might have seemed like a relatively simple project into a money pit. Understanding just what a project entails and how
much it’s likely to cost can give homeowners an idea of what they can afford and where they might be able to stretch their bud-gets. For example, if you want to replace your kitch-en countertops but can’t
afford engineered quartz countertops, you might be able to fi nd a less ex-pensive alternative, such as tile, that you like just as much. But it’s best to research such alternatives before you decide to re-
place your existing coun-tertops. If you can’t fi nd a less expensive alternative, you might want to post-pone the project until you can grow your budget.

But starting the proj-ect without first grasping its true cost is a recipe
for disaster, so do your homework before you find your toolbox and start working.
* Build unforeseen ex-penses into your bud-get. Another way to stay within your budget is to include budget-busting unforeseen expenses into the budget from the get-go. Whether you’re doing the project yourself or paying a contractor, near-ly every home improve-ment project will present some unforeseen, and costly, hurdles. For exam-ple, you might find mold inside the walls when you’re converting a base-ment, and it can cost a pretty penny to make that mold go away. If you go into the project expecting such hurdles, then the fi-nancial sting of address-ing them won’t prove too great a burden. But if the mold catches you and your budget complete-ly off guard, you might be forced to overextend that budget or make sac-
rifices elsewhere in order to complete the project. Build some contingency money, including permit and permit fees, into your
home improvement proj-ect to safeguard against such unforeseen issues.
* Get to work. If you’re hiring a contractor, speak
to him or her before sign-ing a contract to see if there is anywhere you can pitch in to keep the labor costs low. You might be able to pitch in during the demolition phase, saving the cost of paying your contractor’s workers to tear down walls or re-move debris you can just as easily remove yourself. Another way to pitch in is to do the end-of-day cleanup yourself. Any role you play with regard to labor will likely need to be negotiated upfront, but you can save yourself a substantial amount of money on labor if you’re willing to get your hands dirty.
* Determine if piecemeal is the most affordable op-tion. Sometimes it makes sense to tackle one proj-ect at a time, while other times you might want to combine projects to save on the cost of materials. For instance, if your ul-timate goal is to install wood flooring through-out your home, deter-mine if it makes more financial sense to install the flooring all at once rather than doing one or two rooms at a time. You might save by buying all of your materials at once rather than buying a small amount of mate-rials several times over the next several years. Home improvement proj-ects often go a long way toward making a home more enjoyable for its owners and inhabitants. And while such projects can be costly, homeown-ers who stay disciplined can still get their dream homes without busting their budgets.

Fall Flooring Event
Changing seasons can be tough on a lawn. Always exposed to the elements, lawns can fare especially poorly upon the arrival of winter, a season known for its harsh and unforgiving weather. Even the most perfectly manicured lawn can suffer at the hands of winter weath-er, causing homeowners to sit idly by and hope spring arrives that much sooner. But as punishing as winter weather can be on a lawn, homeown-ers are not without re-course. Much like home-owners can take steps to help their lawns survive sizzling summer heat waves during the warm-er months of the year, they also can take steps to help their lawns make it through the often stormy weather synony-mous with winter.
* Don’t procrastinate. Putting off the process of
winterizing a lawn can put that lawn in jeop-ardy. Lawns will turn dormant the closer you get to winter, and they may reject the nutrients found in fertilizer as a result. Those nutrients will prove valuable once spring weather returns, so start the winteriza-tion process in early fall so the lawn has suffi-cient time to absorb nu-trients and strengthen itself for the seasons to come.
* Treat trouble spots. Summer can be even harder on a lawn than winter, especially for those lawns located in regions where heat waves and drought are common. In such in-stances, certain spots on the lawn seem to be hit harder than others, and those spots should get special attention when winterizing the lawn. Check the soil’s pH lev-
els before fertilizing or applying any treat-ments. Such a test will reveal which spots need the most attention, and treating trouble spots now will make spring lawn care that much easier.
* Aerate the proper-ty. Aerating can help a lawn recover after a long summer and help it survive the potentially harsh months that lie ahead. Aerating, which involves puncturing the soil or removing cores of soil from the ground, can restore a lawn to health by improving its drainage and allowing more water and air to reach the roots of the grass. Aerating also
makes it easier for nu-trients to penetrate the soil, which encourages a healthier lawn over the long haul. Aerators can be purchased or rented, but homeown-ers uncomfortable with the process may want to enlist a professional to tackle the job.
Parents of small chil-dren who spend lots of time in the yard may need to aerate their lawn more than most, as heavy lawn traffic compresses the soil, a potentially harmful process that can be re-versed via aeration.
* Take steps to strength-en the roots. Aerating promotes stronger roots, but homeowners might
also want to find a win-terizing product with potassium and phos-phorous, both of which can strengthen roots. Different types of lawns will respond differently to certain winterizers, so discuss your options with a lawn care profes-sional who can help you find the right fit for your property.
* Remove debris from the lawn. Debris left on a lawn over the winter can prove very harmful. Piles of debris left scat-tered around a lawn can suffocate the blades of grass, leading to long-term damage and a po-tentially unsightly lawn come the spring. In ad-dition, piles of debris
might make good homes for organisms that can damage the lawn. As fall moves into winter, periodically remove all debris, including leaves and branches fallen from trees.
* Make the lawn off-limits once the tem-peratures dip below freezing. A lawn should be off-limits once the ground freezes. Stepping on grass that has fro-zen will leave noticeable footprints, and walking on frozen grass can kill the turf. When winter arrives, people should avoid using the lawn as a shortcut into and out of your home and stick to driveways and side-walks instead.

CKCS opened its doors to students and parents on Wednesday, Sept. 23 for its annual open house, which is a chance for students to show their parents their classroom, their work, and to intro-duce them to their awe-some teachers. The stu-dents also get to show their parents the exciting Book Fair, and pick out a book or two for the way home. It was wonderful to see the halls fi lled with so many families check-ing out our school. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
Also on Sept. 23, both the Christ King Catholic School girls and boys vol-leyball teams had their fi rst volleyball game at Stettler Middle School. Both teams played against the SMS volleyball teams. Both teams came close to a win, but in the end con-ceded their fi rst games. However, everyone had a lot of fun, and walked out as good sports with new goals to achieve in practice.
CKCS had the first
School Spirit Day on Sept. 25. Students showed up to school dressed in our school colours of blue and yellow to show off their school spirit. Each class was highly motivated to be the class with the most enthusiasm in order to win the Spirit Day Trophy. Spirit Squad members travelled to each class, and took pictures of all the participants. They were excited to announce that the winner of the Blue and Yellow Spirit Day was Mrs. Barnes’ Grade 2 class. With many of the Grade 2 students showing up with blue and yellow face paint, and blue hair, they were a tough act to beat.
Also new in CKCS, Mrs. Gulak has kick started a Healthy School Club. Mrs. Gulak will be running this club with the support of Mrs. Pinkoski, Abbey Bohn and Nicole Kennedy. Mrs. Gulak explained that she decided to create this club because she wanted to help encourage stu-dents to live healthy lives. Everyone who joins the club will organize events to promote healthy eating throughout the year.

Terry Fox Run was another great successSHARON FISCHERSTETTLER ELEMENTARY NEWS
The Stettler Elementary School Terry Fox Run was held on Friday, Sept. 25, and it was once again a great success. It was a little bit windy, but oth-erwise we could not have asked for better weather for this event. We were thrilled that so many par-ents, grandparents and younger siblings we able to join us for this, the 35th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run in Canada.
The staff, students, and families ran or walked around the track during the afternoon and again we would like to thank the moms and dads for participating with the little siblings. It is such a special feeling to have so very many people participate in this very worthwhile event. We would also like to thank the members in our com-munity for their contin-ued annual support for the Terry Fox Foundation when our students were out in the communi-ty collecting pledges. As well, we extend a very special thank you to our school council for donat-ing t-shirts for our Terry Fox t-shirt draw, and for everything that they do throughout the year. The lucky winners were
Angelo Manallili, Bogdana Dikova, Harmonee Leggo, Tristin Rempe, Aivee Leard, Damion Hollett and Ty Diegel.
Other “thank you”s this week go out to the Heart Haven Residence Club for their very generous dona-tion made to our break-fast for learning program. We sincerely appreciate that these residents have chosen to support our stu-dents and help to ensure that their best learning can occur through hav-ing full stomachs in the morning. I know that our students appreciate it as well. We are so fortunate that have such awesome community support, and we do not want to neglect all of the groups or indi-viduals who support us in so many ways throughout the year.
Also, on the topic of community support, please be sure to get your tickets for the upcoming CFCW Critter’s Hockey Game. Most of the offi ce staff from SES will be par-ticipating in the game on Oct. 8, and we are look-ing forward to a victory against the CFCW team. Our school council has put a great deal of work into the organization of this event, and we are looking forward to a fun-fi lled evening with lots of activities for all age
groups to take part in. We are still looking for some sponsorship for this game, as well if you know of a business that would like to advertise in the program for that evening, please contact the school or one of our parents from the school
council. We are very excited to
be able to take part in the charity event, and I, for one, can’t wait to lace up my skates again for the fi rst time in a very long time.
We are looking forward to seeing you there.
Our past year has brought new hope and strength and we are looking forward to the future.
To all of you that have made our reality of GROW rather than GO. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we know without the generosity and the generations of families that have been or gone to Bar Harbour and are wanting to see us succeed....you know who you are, Thank You!
We invite you to come to Bar Harbour Camp

Lightning start off season on right blade
STACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The Stettler Lightning started its regular season with an aggressive push against the Medicine Hat Cubs on Saturday, Sept. 26, lapping the home team to fi nish the night with a 10-5 score.
The fi rst period belonged to the Lightning, though both teams played carefully, avoiding the penalty box. Linden Heidecker was the fi rst to score, three minutes into the fi rst, but the rest of the period remained scoreless for Stettler until the last minute, when Derek Muhlbach brought the score to 2-2 for Stettler.
The Lightning struck quickly in the sec-ond period, with Logan Davidson scoring a minute in, followed a minute later by Muhlbach, and a minute later by Steven Fletcher.
Trying to keep up with the faster, more agile Lightning, the Cubs started to hit hard, and as a result, found themselves frequently in the penalty box. This
worked out in Stettler’s favour, as with about fi ve minutes left in the second, Dylan Houston capitalized on a power play advantage to bring the tally to 6-4.
The Cubs struggled to keep up with the Lightning, but at the start of the third were well behind the visiting team on shots on net, with only 19 to Stettler’s 40.
The third period was much the same for the team, with goalie Taylor McLaughlin keeping all but one of Medicine Hat’s eight shots on net well away from cross-ing the line.
Keiran Rost scored two goals in the third, fi rst just shy of four minutes in, and then again about 11 minutes after the start of the period. Houston, a power play killer, scored yet another power play goal for the team, bringing the score to 9-5. DJ Kistner fi nished up the game for Stettler, scoring the tenth goal of the night with two minutes remaining.
Stettler next plays in Coaldale on Friday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m., with its season home opener against the High River Flyers the next day at 7:30 p.m.
Panthers’ defence shuts down hosts Rocky Mtn House
STACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
Stettler’s Peewee Panthers continued their undefeated streak, forg-ing an unbreakable wall and shutting down host Rocky Mountain House on Saturday, Sept. 26, coming home with a win of 48-0.
According to head coach Ernie Shirreff, perennial scorer David Butterwick brought home most of the team’s points, scoring multi-ple touchdowns. The 48-point win was aug-mented by touchdowns by Carson Mottus, and a single touchdown by Jacob Cottam.
The team performed “much crisper” this week, Shirreff said,
something that pleased him greatly. Though the team won against the visiting Drumheller Terrapins the weekend before, Shirreff “wasn’t happy. It was sloppy.”
This week, the Panthers’ defensive line kept the Rocky Mountain House team from gaining ground.
“They had only one de-cent play,” Shirreff said. “We just shut them down all day.”
Offensively, the team showed great improve-ment, playing “much smoother,” Shirreff said. Now, the team will be focusing on continuing to improve through prac-tices as the next three games will really show what the team is made of.
This coming Saturday, Oct. 2, the Panthers head to Strathmore. The fol-lowing weekend, anoth-er away-game sees the Panthers take on league champion and also un-defeated team Sylvan Lake.
On Oct. 24 at 11 a.m., the Panthers will play on home turf, taking on Lacombe, another strong team in the league.
“We’re just trying to improve week-to-week, which is what any coach hopes for and wants to see,” Shirreff said.
Stettler Wildcats defeat Camrose Trojans 35-6MOUSH SARA JOHNINDEPENDENT REPORTER
In another show of skill and power, Stettler Wildcats retained their unde-feated status as they overcame Trojans 35-6 at the annual ‘under the lights’ home game on Friday, Sept. 25.
The Wildcats got an edge from the start with Alex LeBlanc scoring a touch-down and a following convert within the fi rst minute of the game.
The lead was consolidated by Cooper Smyth as he scored a touchdown and convert a little later in the fi rst quarter.
Clayton Page gave the Wildcats a lead of 21-0 as he scored a touchdown to-wards the end of the second quarter.
Stettler Wildcats “came out fi ring all cylinders” as the head coach Norbert Baharally put it.
“Our offense was clicking and our defense was really dominating the Camrose players and it was really nice to see our team bounce back after some-what of a let down from last week after letting a comfortable lead slip away for our game to end up in a tie,” said Baharally. “I am hoping that as a team we are starting to believe that we have
the potential to win our league cham-pionship. I have been saying this to our team since the beginning of spring camp and I am hoping that they are starting to believe in themselves now.”
In the third quarter, two more touch-downs, one by Jeremy Kirk with a con-vert from Alex LeBlanc and the second by Clayton Page with a convert once again by Alex LeBlanc fi rmly ensconced the lead that Alex LeBlanc had given the team.
Even though Trojans scored a touch-down in the fourth quarter, Wildcats kept up the pressure till the end to win
the game.“We still need to be more consistent in
our execution,” said Guy Neitz, assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. “Last week, we did make the most of our opportunities, which built up some confi dence for us.”
According to Neitz, Camrose was a run fi rst offence and played a 3-4 adjust on defence in an attempt to shut down Wildcats’ running game especially on the outside.
Wildcats take on the provincially ranked team Sylvan Lake in their next game.

Wildcats harry Broncs on home court with mixed results
STACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
Despite harrying the senior girls’ volleyball team from Ponoka, the Stettler Wildcats just couldn’t pull out a win in their sets against the visiting team.
On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the Wildcats hosted the Ponoka Broncs for a best-of-five sets game and came on to the court with plenty of en-ergy, only to be defeated 25-14 in the first by the visiting team.
In the second set, Stettler re-covered somewhat, holding on to control of the ball long enough to pull ahead of the Broncs and bring in 12 points. However, once the Broncs regained control of the ball they didn’t let it go often, evening out the score and, with a series of successful blocks and teamwork, won the set 25-12.
“It’s a building team,” coach Derek Hatch said. “While most teams are mostly made of Grade 12 girls, we’ve only three, and are mostly made of grades 10-11.”
Knowing the third set would make-or-break the game, the Wildcats rallied, exchanging the possession of the ball back-and-forth with the Broncs for the first 18 points. At that moment, a series of bad serves into the net for both teams saw the ball eventually end up back in Ponoka’s control, and the Broncs pulled ahead, eventual-ly winning 25-21.
Despite the loss, Hatch said over-all he was pleased with the prog-ress made by the team.
“By far, we didn’t play our best game against Ponoka,” he said.
“But we played against the first place team (in a recent tourna-ment) and came up 23-25 and 22-25.”
He said that consistency is the biggest hurdle, but in time and with practice, that would come. In
the meantime, the practices will let the players master their skills, and become used to working to-gether to gain the consistency.
A fourth set, for the sake of the game, was played in exhibition before the game drew to a close.
Stacey Lavallie/Independent reporter
Stettler Wildcats senior girls volleyball team hosted the Ponoka Broncs on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Here, No. 15, Megan Roper, makes a desperate dash for the ball. Though out of bounds, it had already been tagged by the team, and Roper’s valiant efforts sent it over the net and back to the Broncs.
Cougars battle score gap, injuries in Lacombe game
STACEY LAVALLIEINDEPENDENT REPORTER
The Stettler Cougars faced a tough opponent when heading to Lacombe on Saturday, Sept. 26, and though they did their best to harry the home team, came home with a loss of 48-24.
According to Laurie Myshaniuk, who works with the team, the players “stepped up and worked hard to keep closing the gap.”
Steele Nichols brought in two touchdowns for the team and completed his converts, racking up 18 of Stettler’s 24 points. Quarterback Carson Neitz managed to break through the clutches of Lacombe’s defence at one point to bring in a touchdown of his own as well.
“The Cougars’ defence was often referred to as a wall by the Lacombe announcer, and that they were,” Myshaniuk said. “They kept control of the game and held on to the end.”
Head coach Mark Neitz said that despite the loss, he was very proud of the boys on the team.
“Losses aren’t the end of the world, we get to evalu-ate and grow from them,” he said. “There was plenty of adversity going into the game against Lacombe, in-juries hampered our line up, but substitutions came in and performed admi-rably.”
Neitz said he felt for those who were sidelined by injuries and hope they recover quickly, but the team will now be focusing on its next game, another
toughie, against Hunting Hills.
“If we come ready to
work this week I believe we can perform well by game day,” he said.
