A place of their own, at lastStettler Elementary celebrates new Grade 2 playground

Joel van der VeenINDEPENDENT REPORTER

First they got a new playground, and then they got to see their principal and vice-prin-cipal get hit in the face with pies.

Altogether, it was a great day for the 450 students of Stettler Elementary School.

Students, staff, parents and dignitaries gathered outside the school on Friday, Sept. 19 to celebrate the new Grade 2 playground, located at the south end of the school prop-erty.

Stacie Pederson and Melissa Robbins, both parents and members of the school council, said the playground was in the

works for nearly two years. Each grade at Stettler Elementary has its

own play space, although students are al-lowed to move freely between the spaces during outdoor time.

Students were asked about what they wanted in the new playground, and their re-sponses were used in the design of the new space, said Pederson.

“This represents what the students asked for when we surveyed them,” she said, ges-turing towards the playground, which fea-tures a large structure with a climbing wall on the west side and three slides facing east.

“The climbing wall was No. 1,” added

Robbins, who serves as school council chair. The playground, constructed over the

summer, is surfaced with pea gravel and mulch, and is dotted with posts, planks, hopscotch blocks and benches.

Another parent, Kristine Bailey-Chesla, contributed her expertise in landscape de-sign, helping to bring the students’ ideas to life.

“It all came together with her help, and her sweat, and the breaking of her back,” said Robbins with a smile, adding that, ulti-mately, the students’ use of the space was of the greatest importance.

The Stettler Variety Showcase board needs additional hands to keep meeting its mandate of bringing great entertain-ment to town at affordable prices.

“The challenge is bring-ing in quality performers and doing it at the best rate possible,” said board vice-chair Deb Spiller. “We still offer the best deal around.”

Spiller said the board is looking for three additional members, including a tech-nical supervisor who can operate the lighting and sound equipment for the Showcase’s performers.

The board held its an-nual general meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 17 in the basement of the office of the accounting firm Git-

zel Krejci Dand Peterson (GKDP).

Board members ap-proved the minutes of last year’s meeting, looked over the financial state-ment and elected officers for the coming year.

The financial statement, prepared by treasurer Leo Gitzel and audited by GKDP, indicated that the showcase ended this year with a deficit of $9,249, compared with last year’s surplus of $8,359.

Board members attribut-ed the shortfall to a decline in both ticket sales and the showcase’s Alberta Foun-dation for the Arts Grant.

“There’s a lot of reasons our ticket sales are down,” said Beth Lynes, who serves as the showcase’s booking agent.

Rose Fenske, who over-sees advertising and pro-motions, observed that more patrons were opting to attend individual shows, rather than paying for the

entire season. “We have to really eval-

uate this year what our next year’s going to look like,” Spiller told the board.

Also present at Wednes-day’s meeting were chair Ismay Seyer, member-at-large Jan Wells and current technical supervisor Scott Pfeiffer, who has indicated he intends to step down in January.

Gitzel did not attend the meeting owing to health issues. All current board officers were re-elected, including secretary Mela-nie White, who is currently on maternity leave. Wells agreed to cover her duties until her return.

Spiller said that potential board candidates should have a love of entertain-ment, in helping the board to meet its mandate of bringing acts from a vari-ety of genres to Stettler.

Anyone interested in joining the board can con-tact Rose Fenske at 403-

742-3092. The concert series for the

coming year runs from De-cember 2014 to April 2015 at the Performing Arts Centre and features per-formances by roots musi-cian John Lee Sanders, the Foothills Brass, jazz vocal-ist Kellylee Evans, stage performer Tomas Kubinek and Celtic pop artist Jimmy Rankin.

The upcoming dinner concert on Nov. 1 at the Stettler Community Hall will feature Bridget Ryan’s Cabaret, a combination of musical and stand-up com-edy. Only 375 tickets will be available.

Tickets for the entire season, including the din-ner concert, are $110 for adults and $55 for students. Tickets for the five concert series are $80 for adults and $40 for students. In-dividual show tickets are also available. Tickets may be purchased at Pfeiffer House of Music. Looking for an opportunity to do something positive for your community?

A frantic call to 911 brought RCMP to a home south of Stettler last week, but it was too late for the family pet, which had been mauled and killed by two loose pitbulls.

On Sept. 15, police re-sponded to a call shortly before 6:30 p.m. about two loose pitbulls attacking a family dog in the family’s yard near the airport.

When police arrived, there was unfortunately nothing to be done to save the victim dog, though the

two pitbulls were captured and seized by Alberta Ani-mal and Municipal Enforce-ment Services (AAMES).

Because the pitbulls had attacked and killed a dog, the RCMP found their hands tied, explained Const. Curtis Duplessis.

“If the dogs had attacked a human, we could do something,” he said, ex-plaining that in order for the pitbulls to be declared dangerous animals it re-quires an attack on people, or a judge’s order when on other animals.

AAMES is now inves-

tigating the incident and will determine whether or not the case should be brought before a judge to have the animals declared

dangerous, and will de-cide if charges should be brought to the bench to be laid against the pitbulls’ owners.

The Stettler branch of the Royal Canadian Legion con-tinued its support of the Alzheimer Society of Canada with two fundraising events last week.

The branch served coffee and donuts at the Legion Hall the morning of Friday, Sept. 19, followed by a hot dog lunch in front of the Q93.3 office on Main Street. Nathan’s Famous hot dogs were served along with coffee, cookies and pop.

Executive member Susan Mitchell said the Alzheimer Society is one of several charities the Legion supports.

Mitchell reported this week that the Legion’s efforts raised about $375 in total.

The events were part of local celebrations for Legion

Week, which also included the branch’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 17.

Members are also looking forward to some live enter-tainment at the Legion Hall this week, as saxophonist and clarinetist Maureen “Mo” Melin will perform a live show on Friday, Sept. 26, starting at 7 p.m.

Melin, granddaugthter of former Stettler resident Doris Aunger, has recently returned to her hometown of Calgary after performing in the Caribbean islands for the last 12 years.

She is a founding member of St. Maarten-based band One White Chic, who have opened for John Legend, Percy Sledge and the Commodores.

Melin’s show will include opportunities for audience members to take part and jam, and the public is welcome to join in on the fun.

Stettler Regional Fire and Rescue responded to a nicked gas line last week in Rochon Sands, the fourth one since the start of the year – and now the fire department is asking people to call ahead and be careful.

“Hit lines do happen,” Deputy Fire Chief Etienne Brugman said. “People forget to call One Call, or they’ve called One Call and they’ve managed to hit the line anyway.”

One Call is a company that will send people out to detect under-ground lines – natural gas, phone, water and sewer, and any other un-derground risks. However, they can only mark the area the line is found in, not how deep and not if the line runs absolutely straight, Brugman noted.

“Lines aren’t always straight be-tween (One Call’s) markers,” he explained, adding that sometimes lines will bend a little here and there as it gets around a rock, or as settling ground pushes it to the side a little.

Hitting a gas line can cause a flash fire, where the friction of the shovel or machinery hitting the line itself causes enough heat to

ignite the gas. When a leak gives gas enough time to build up, it can cause explosions.

Natural gas is lighter than air, so fortunately doesn’t pool near the break but rises into the air. How-ever, when a leak is near a house this isn’t a good thing, since it can sometimes flow into attics and gather there, unable to escape, waiting for a spark to set it off.

“We’ve fought natural gas-fed fires,” Brugman said. Sometimes the fire is caused by a leak, or sometimes an existing fire melts a line, causing the gas to flow into the fire where it ignites. “You can always tell the look of a natural gas fire.”

When a line breaks, the fire de-partment will come out with some-one from the gas company to clamp the line so it can be repaired. When the gas hasn’t ignited, sometimes the fire department will spray water into the area of the leak to help dis-sipate the gas, but most times it can flow heavenward without causing a problem. The area ends up cor-doned off as even a spark from a vehicle’s engine can be enough to cause the gas to light.

When the line has caught on fire, the goal of the fire department is

to keep it spreading, but not put out the original fire, Brugman ex-plained. The fire burns off the gas, so it can’t gather anywhere or be ig-nited somewhere else, but fire can spread so the firefighers will water down the area.

The most important thing if some-one hits a line or smells that rotten egg smell of a gas leak in the home is to immediately evacuate and then phone 911 or the gas company.

The town hasn’t had a bad gas-leak fire in Brugman’s time, where an entire house has exploded from accumulated gas, he said. Fire Chief Mark Dennis said nothing of that sort had happened during his tenure, either.

The presence of mercaptin, the ingredient that gives natural gas that eggy smell, is part of that, Brugman said.

“The nice thing about mercaptin is you smell it fast, before gas re-ally has a chance to accumulate,” he explained.

If you’re going to be doing any digging, phone Alberta One-Call to have a representative come out to check for power, gas, oil, water and sewer lines by phoning 1-800-242-3447 or visiting www.alberta-onecall.com.

For the past 12 years, Calgary jazz musician Mo Me-lin has lived in the Carribean, where her talents with the saxophone has had her playing with names like John Legend, Percy Sledge and the Commodores.

Now, she’s bringing her music to Stettler for a single performance, connecting with her childhood memories where she spent her summers with her grandmother, Doris (Stitt) Aunger.

“I’d be there all summer and it would just be me,” Melin said of her summers with her grandmother, before she remarried. “I’d go with her and her friends out and about. I’ve so many memories.”

Her grandmother was heavily involved at the Stettler Legion, so when it came to playing a show there, Melin didn’t hesitate. It was a place she had gone many times with her grandmother, and it connected on a personal level.

Melin spent several years in the Canadian Military’s band corps, where she played all over the country, in-cluding Stettler. Once free of the regiment, though, she ended up in St. Maarten.

“I came back and it was 40 below so I went back,” she said.

She hadn’t gone to the Carribean island to play mu-sic, but when the friends she had there learned she could play, she called home and had her saxophone shipped down. There, she quickly became a fixture.

She helped found One White Chic, an eight-piece funk/soul band, and ended up being an opening act for John Legend and Percy Sledge at the Hennessey Artistry Concert. In 2014, she opened for The Commodores at the Heineken Regatta – think the Calgary Stampede of Jazz/Soul festivals.

“It was time to come home, though,” she said. “I need to settle my roots again.”

Melin will be performing at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26 at the Legion, and everyone’s invited to come join in for an evening of fun, food and great music.

Musicians are invited to bring their own instruments, as the evening’s a casual jam night, too.

Did you harvest too much fruit this season, or perhaps grow too many potatoes? Excess tomatoes or buckets or bags of seed going to be tossed?

Think again – recycle!The Heartland Beautification Committee is launching a

new recycling endeavour this weekend with its inaugural dual events at the P&H elevator. The Seed Exchange and Fruit/Vegetable Exchange are two simultaneously running events designed to avoid having perfectly good food and seed tossed into the waste bin or compost heap.

“If residents are looking for new flower or vegetable

seeds to add variety to their gardens, or could use fresh, local garden produce, come help yourself,” Grace Fix, one of the organizers, said.

The event operates on a bring some, leave some philoso-phy, and is part of the community’s “Plant it forward...Get, Grow, Give” program. The program was designed by the Committee’s Rob Spencer.

Seeds were given out during the trade fair earlier in the year as part of the “Get” stage of the program, and over the summer they weren “Grown.” Now, they can “Give” seeds by bringing them in and trading with others, picking up something new for next season while giving someone else the chance to do the same.

People with excess seeds can bring them in a labeled envelope. Envelopes are available at the town office, the Stettler Recreation Centre, and the library – or just use an envelope from home.

The Fruit/Vegetable Exchange is being led by Fix with an eye to decreasing the amount of local food waste.

“Many residents may have extra produce but not enough for the Farmers’ Market, so this event offers an alternative to share,” she said. “(It’s) also a great opportunity for oth-ers to have fresh garden food.”

The committee hopes this event will become an annual fall fixture in the community. This year’s inaugural events run from 10 a.m. until noon.

Organizers say buzz is building as Stettler prepares to host the first Canadian Badlands Pheasant Festival next month.

The five-day festival, running from Oct. 15 to 19, is expected to bring hun-dreds of hunters to the area as 3,000 pheasants are re-leased across the County of Stettler.

Festival committee chair-man Darcy Pollock said the event also represents an ef-fort to introduce the species to the area, as a minimum of 300 pheasant hens will be released afterward to en-courage breeding.

“Hopefully, slowly we can start to grow a wild bird population in the area,” he said.

Pollock said registra-tion for the event has been “slow” so far, but added that word is spreading and phone calls are coming in every day.

In addition to the hunts, other events will be of-fered throughout the festi-val, including a banquet on Friday, Oct. 17, held at the Agriplex and featuring raf-fles, door prizes, auctions and dancing. Tickets to the banquet are $40 each.

Pollock said planning for the festival began when the Town of Stettler was ap-

proached by the Canadian Badlands Tourism product development committee.

He and others were in-vited to join a committee to organize the event, which he said will help to attract outdoorsmen to the region.

“The County of Stettler has some fantastic hunting opportunities,” said Pol-lock, noting that the region is recognized for its white-tailed and mule deer, elk and moose.

Hunters can also find antelope further south in the area towards Byemoor, he said, adding that hunt-ing outfitters draw visitors to the district from across North America and even Europe.

According to the Sep-tember newsletter of the Stettler Regional Board of Trade and Community De-velopment, the festival is expected to draw upwards of 800 people to the Stettler area.

In a press release, Barry Morishita, vice-president

and product development chair for Canadian Bad-lands Tourism, said the event would attract “new visitors to the region and (bring) real economic value to Stettler.”

Three hundred half-day hunts are being spread out over the five-day festival; as of Tuesday morning, 183 of those spaces were still available.

Hunters can register in teams of up to four, and will have the opportunity to hunt with accredited in-structors and guides. Dogs and ammo will be included with the registration fee.

A limit of eight birds per hunt has been set, although hunters may pay extra at the time of registration to have more birds released and in-crease their odds of success.

Hunters who register also have the option of paying an additional $25 to adopt a hen, which will be released in the County of Stettler following the festival.

To register for the fes-tival, contact the Board of Trade at 403-742-3181 or visit stettlerboardoftrade.com or canadianbadlands.com.

It was only two years ago that Stet-tler County went from a clubroot-free county to a county afflicted with the soil-borne disease, but the agricultural staff keep working hard to prevent it from spreading.

The disease affects crops like canola and mustard and causes the roots to swell in an affliction called gulling, which, in turn, prevents the plant’s root from taking in nutrients and wa-ter properly. The plant at best will be stunted and at worst can die.

“(Clubroot) is like a tick in that it needs a host to survive,” Quinton Beaumont, agricultural director for the county, said. “If you have clubroot in-fected soil and don’t plant canola for four years, you will kill 50 per cent of the spores in the soil.”

However, once clubroot spores are in the soil, it can take 20 years for it to die off completely.

Preventing the spread of the disease is key, Beaumont said, and farmers can help do this by cleaning their farming equipment before moving from field to field. Brushing or power-spraying

dirt off equipment and giving it a quick antiseptic wash can prevent clubroot spores from moving from field to field.

All of the counties surrounding Stet-tler are infected with the disease to cer-tain extents, but Stettler hadn’t found an infected crop until 2012. Now, it’s keeping that from spreading that counts.

“We have ‘hot zones’ where we’ve found (clubroot) in the past,” Beaumont explained. “We do random field checks five in a five mile radius.” Additional random checks are done in areas where the disease hasn’t been found.

When county employees enter a field selected for inspection, they check six spots in a “W” formation, pulling 50 stalks. They look for the gulled roots, which appear very swollen, and any-thing suspicious is sent off to a lab to confirm whether or not it’s clubroot or another issue that’s causing the root to swell and contort.

County staff are starting the inspec-tion now and have checked about 45 fields out of a planned 300 to date. While some samples have been sent to the lab, no cases of clubroot have been confirmed thus far.

Scots voted last week to remain in the United Kingdom, but even the fact that they voted on whether to leave has opened the Pandora’s Box in a way that things will never be the same again for any of the constituents of the union, or for Europe or for the world.

First, in the UK, there will be a lot of horse-trading as to how the powers of the central government will be devolved if the British gov-ernment keeps its promise to en-hance the self-governing authority for Scotland, then the Welsh and Northern Ireland and England will all seek enhanced autonomy.

In Europe, Catalans are already in the process of organizing a ref-erendum to secede from Spain and in the pipeline are secessionist moves in Italy and Romania and who knows where else.

As for the Commonwealth, in Australia, where a 1999 referen-dum rejected the proposal for the country to cut its ties to Queen Elizabeth II and become a repub-lic, an online poll immediately after the Scottish vote last week showed a 74 percent support in favor of declaring the country a

republic.When we will have a similar

debate in Canada is hard to pre-dict, but one can probably say with certainty that one day in the future that very discussion will be on the agenda in this country, too.

But before that day comes, looks like we still have some is-sues relating to Canada’s status as a constitutional monarchy; liter-ally: The entanglement that needs to be unraveled involves Canada’s current constitution and its links to the United Kingdom and its admin-istrative power over this country.

A debate is slowly developing on the state of health of our con-stitution and how to make it more responsive to changing times. (For those interested, there are a few informative and authoritative ar-ticles available on the http://c2c-journal.ca website.)

Scholars and constitutional law experts underline several serious shortcomings of the current consti-tution, which can be summarized as follows:

-Quebec has not signed the current constitution, therefore the power of the document as the basis

of legitimacy in the whole country is open to question;

-The current constitution does not secure property rights;

-The constitutional authority lies largely with the judiciary rath-er than the legislative power of the state, therefore the constitutional decision making process lacks ac-countability;

- Nobody knows how to amend the current constitution.

The last of these points appears to be one of the most problematic areas because when the govern-ment of Pierre Trudeau asked the House of Commons in London in 1982 to adopt the amendments to the Canadian constitution, law-makers at Westminster adopted it as a kind of annex to a British piece of legislation and in doing that, they renounced the right to amend it further.

So, as a result, when there is public demand for Senate reform after the revelations of spending scandals, Prime Minister Stephen Harper can hide behind the ruling of the Supreme Court of Canada to drag his feet not to implement his promise he made to the electorate

before he became the head of the federal government back in 2006, because constitution does not have a provision as to how to reform the Senate.

Or, because there is no consti-tutional clarity on the process, Mr. Harper uses his power to send Ca-nadian military personnel to north-ern Iraq to get involved in military action against Islamic extremists without even informing the legis-lature.

Of course, this discussion might be perceived as irrelevant by many, because Canada is a civilized coun-try and people feel themselves safe and secure with the knowledge (assumption?) that institutions are (mostly) functioning properly and as such, their rights are protected.

But as citizens, and not sub-jects, regardless of whether we live in small town Alberta or in metropolitan Toronto, we have an obligation to know how we are governed, at all levels, and it is only by knowing that we can hold politicians to account as and when required.

– Mustafa Eric

The summer months have brought forth ideal-istic notions of growing food for charity by well-intentioned city folks. A group called Grow Cal-gary was recently espous-ing the virtue and value of the fresh vegetables they were growing on leased land near Canada Olympic Park. The produce grown there is given to the Cal-gary Food Bank and other charitable institutions. That’s a noble deed and the folks involved should be commended for their time and effort. These types of charitable food growing activities are car-ried out around many cit-ies across North America. To many folks it’s a more direct and tangible way to alleviate the misfortune of others, much more real than giving cash to a char-ity agency, where it seems to disappear into some vault never to be seen again.

Local charitable grow-ing efforts do contribute to what food banks are able to hand out to needy clients. But they are usu-ally not a significant fac-

tor in the total volumes of food handled by food banks, being it’s usually a limited seasonal contribu-tion. Most food banks get far more donated vegeta-bles from grocery stores who continuously con-tribute surplus products as they near expiration dates and quality levels. Clearly growing produce for charity by city folks can only be done on a limited basis. The use of small plots of land is usu-ally donated along with volunteer labour to grow and harvest the crops. It takes a different approach to translate that approach into large volumes that can feed many thousands of hungry people. That can only be done by com-mercial farmers and they have been doing that for at least the past 50 years.

The big player in grow-ing food for charity and hunger relief is the Cana-dian Foodgrains Bank (a partnership of Christian churches and agencies), they coordinate local projects that grow, har-vest and distribute count-less thousands of tons

of grain and other crops from many thousands of acres every year. All the land use, production and harvesting costs are do-nated by farmers. Out-right grain donations are also accepted by the Foodgrains Bank which is in a position to issue tax receipts for most any type of donation. The donated food aid is sent to hunger-prone areas around the world. That effort dwarfs any charitable vegetable growing project by local city groups. To be fair, re-gardless of the volume it’s the intention that counts.

One does sense an un-derlying ideological tone from some of the folks involved in city-based charitable vegetable growing efforts. Com-ments are made that the produce they grow and donate is organic, local and serves to provide food

bank clients with healthy alternatives to donated packaged foods. Be that as it may, I suspect many folks receiving food bank aid have a limit to how much organic kale, beets and turnips they want to consume. I also expect many would prefer a plate of mac and cheese over a brussels sprouts casserole.

Having said that the concern isn’t these noble local efforts, the concern is some of the comments made by the chief orga-nizer of the Grow Cal-gary effort - Paul Hughes. Waxing on the success of his local effort, which involves a few acres, he is suggesting that it be expanded to 245 acres, supposedly making it the largest such charitable vegetable growing opera-tion in the world. As ad-mirable as such an ideal may be, one suspects that an operation of that size will require subsidization, professional manage-ment and mechanization. It’s also going to require considerable labour. One can’t help but suspect that the taxpayer will sooner

or later be hit up for large grants to cover input and management costs.

The point is that small growing efforts involv-ing a couple of acres is manageable with a group of dedicated and idealis-tic volunteers. However, once you get into large volumes and many acres – the effort and labour involved will quickly ex-haust the energy and inter-est of even the most com-mitted volunteer. Soon enough paid management and labour will be de-manded to keep the op-eration going. Once that taxpayer can is opened you can see the cost and bureaucracy expanding. I expect at that point it would be cheaper for the government to buy pro-duce in volume and give it to food banks than to subsidize seasonal grow-ing efforts. Hopefully wiser heads will prevail and it will never get to this point. For the gener-ous city folks involved in growing food for charity – in this case - smaller is better than larger. Keep up the good work.

West Stettler Park was bursting with activity on Friday, Sept. 19 as the stu-dents of Stettler Middle School celebrated the life of Terry Fox with an after-noon of fast-paced hijinks.

Vice-principal Jeff Lee said the school uses the day to teach students about Fox and his legacy — the annual Terry Fox Run that has raised more than $650 million for cancer research since his death in 1981 — as the story is only vaguely familiar to many of them.

“If you’re my age, you lived it, you saw it,” he said. “These kids, they just know from what their par-ents tell them or what they see on TV.”

Each fall, the school holds fundraisers, includ-ing a Hat Day, where students pay $2 each for the privilege of wearing headgear to class. Lee said these efforts typically raise

a minimum of $1,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

On Friday, the students assembled in the gym to watch a video about Fox and his story, after which they embarked on a run from the school to the park, a distance of about two kilometres.

After arriving at the park, the students enjoyed a hot dog lunch served by the parent council, with 700 hot dogs and water bottles donated by Sobeys.

The student body — about 290 kids in total — broke up into 16 groups to compete in eight activi-

ties, planned by Brett Nix-on’s Grade 8A class.

The activities included a hula hoop relay, a three-legged soccer game and a musical chairs variant dubbed “Scuttlebutt.”

In “Architect,” students had to use Lego bricks to recreate images described to them by their team-mates. Competitors also donned hats with cups at-tached for a hilltop relay in which they had to pour water from student to stu-dent.

Lee said Friday’s events also served to welcome students back to school after the summer. The day concluded with a school dance.

Gymkhana riders in Stet-tler ended their first season with a third and final meet at the exhibition grounds on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Awards for the year were also presented on Saturday, said competitor and orga-nizer Tammy Hronek.

The Stettler Gymkha-na Club previously held events in July and August, awarding points to con-testants at each instance.. Points were tallied from the three events to deter-mine the high scorers in each age category.

Thanks to the support of the club’s sponsors,

Hronek said, organiz-ers were able to purchase prizes for each competitor under the age of 18.

The competitors includ-ed children as young as four. Each gymkhana at-tracted at least 40 riders, while the final event of the season featured a total of 53 entries.

“We are so excited to do this all again next sum-mer,” said Hronek.

Awards were presented in four age categories as follows:

Peewee, six years and under: Kayla Hronek, first; Kally Willis, second; Rhett Henderson, third.

Youth, seven to 10 years: Lexa Bergstrom, first; Shaelee Schwartz, second; Cooper Henderson, third.

The Legion’s hall was packed to the gills as peo-ple from all over came to enjoy a scrumptuous meal at the Hawaiian Pig Roast on Saturday, Sept. 20.

The roast, put on by St. Georges Anglican Church, was held to help raise mon-ey to help cover everyday operational costs of the church.

“Henry approached us about doing a pig roast,” said one of the organizers, Marg Grandfield, about Henry Johnson, one of the church parishoners. “It’s his specialty. We decided to go ahead and do it.”

Right before the event got underway, the organiz-ers had to scramble to set up additional tables be-cause the tickets had not only sold well, they’d sold very well and they didn’t have enough seats.

“It’s a bit tight but we did it,” Grandfield said.

As guests came in and got their Hawaiian lei, the 156 seats began to fill up quickly. In the end, the group sold 176 tickets and had to set up an additional five tables to handle the guests.

The pig itself didn’t last long; by the time the last guest got their plate and went through the buffet line, it was down to bare

bones.“We’re seeing a lot of

action at our silent auction and the door prizes are go-ing over well,” Grandfield

said in the packed hall. She said the community and the parish had gotten behind the organizers completely, donating food, parts of the

meal and prizes for the si-lent auction.

“We’re hoping to do an annual event,” Grandfield said, though she noted it

might not be a pig roast ev-ery year – but considering the reception of this year’s event, it may just be that. “Everyone is having fun.”

“Seeing is believing” is an idiom suggesting that only physical, visible evidence is truly convincing and believ-able. While there is clearly some validity to the statement, it is limited in its scope and occasionally erroneous in its application.

For example, there are many things that we believe in without seeing. We can’t see oxygen but rely upon it for breathing. We cannot see time, but we measure it and man-age our lives by it.

In addition, consider a smile, which is indeed observable. However, the smile which is seen, cannot fully reveal what

precipitated it. The smile may be sweet and sincere or sar-donic and scornful.

Another reason that “seeing is believing” may fail is be-cause the data that is observed may be misinterpreted, as in the following humorous story. A man emphatically insisted to his psychiatrist that he was dead. After several sessions with the “dead man” the psychiatrist thought of a solution. On the third session he had instructed his patient to list characteristics of dead people. The patient’s list included, “dead people do not bleed”. At the outset of the fourth ses-sion the man arrived, again insisting that he was dead. Im-mediately the doctor whipped out a large hat pin and poked

the man’s finger. Blood rushed out of the wound! “Now,” the psychiatrist said, “What conclusion do you draw from that?” Without a moment’s hesitation the patient looked his doctor straight in the eye and exclaimed, “Well, what do you know! Dead people do bleed after all!”

“Seeing is believing”, as a blanket statement, is radically out of sync with biblical values. In fact, when it comes to matters of faith, the phrase could be inverted. Believing is seeing! In other words, skepticism says, “If I can see, I will be able to believe.” Faith says, “If I believe, I will be able to see!”

A man named Thomas adopted “seeing is believing” as his philosophical premise 2000 years ago. When told that Jesus had been raised from the dead he said, “Unless I see in His hands the prints of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe” (John 20:25). Later, when Thomas saw Jesus, he believed immediately. However, “Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29).

You see, faith is to my soul what my eyes are to my body. Seeing is not believing – believing results in seeing! Do you see what I mean?

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

Skepticism says seeing is believing; faith says believing is seeing

continued from front pageThe project received some

financial support, includ-ing a $10,000 grant from Communities in Bloom and Agrium, a $13,000 con-tribution from the school council, and $3,000 from Direct Energy to construct a retaining wall.

However, most of the contributions came from in-kind donations of sup-

plies, equipment and time. More than 20 businesses supported the project, with their help acknowledged on a permanent sign. The estimated value of the play-ground is $184,000.

Principal Sharon Fischer welcomed the crowd at Fri-day’s celebration, including Clearview Public Schools superintendent Peter Bar-ron, associate superinten-dent Peter Neale and trust-ees Staci Gerlitz and Dave Goodwin, as well as the school’s maintenance su-pervisor, Russ McKay.

Robbins and Pederson spoke to the crowd about the hours of volunteer work that went into creating and building the park, and the student input that inspired it.

“We took all these ideas together and created this space for you,” Robbins told the school body.

Grade 5 students Owen Laughlin and Bryce De-Rijck were recognized for their efforts in maintaining the playground by watering the shrubs and trees.

To cap the ceremony, Fischer and vice-principal

Kate Syson competed in a race across the playground, scaling the climbing wall and crossing from one end to the other.

While it was promised that the loser would get hit with a pie, both Fischer and Syson got the same treat-ment upon reaching the finish line, delivered by students Rhys Pederson and Ellery Robbins.

After the celebration con-cluded, the school’s Grade 2 students were free to enjoy their new playground until the bell rang.

Enrolment is up at the two southernmost schools in Stettler County this year, though both remain in the double digits.

In Byemoor, the student population is up to 32, up from last year’s 28, accord-ing to teacher Gwen Keith.

The school also has a new playschool teacher, Caitlyn Keith, this year.

Keith said that the small number of students at the school allow for interesting interactions. Older students learn leadership skills and responsibility when work-ing with or looking out for the younger students, and the younger students learn to trust and work with the bigger kids, rather than be-ing fearful.

Healthy living is a fo-cus at the school, with the school’s events having a healthy foods, healthy ac-tivity focus, Keith said.

“For example, instead of sitting watching mov-ies and eating junk food at Christmas, like we did for years, we go out to a near-

by hill and go toboggan-ing,” she said. Students are often involved in preparing healthy meals and snacks for their fellows during special events.

The school involves it-self in its community, and this past Friday, Sept. 19, ran the annual Terry Fox run. The day, which was expected to be a drizzly day, turned out to be sunny and quite warm, Keith said.

“We would have run anyway,” she said about the forecasted wet weather. Though the final numbers aren’t in, the school raised more than $800.

North from Byemoor on Highway 56 is Big Val-ley, a lush community that is a hub for train fans and the area’s Métis. This year, Big Valley has 78 students, up from last year and on target.

“We have 15 kids in play-school this year,” Cheryl Bartley, the school’s jack-of-all-trades support staff-er, said.

Charlee Mappin is cover-ing Grade 3-4 while teach-er Melita Sorenson is out

on maternity leave, bring-ing one new staff face to the school.

Bartley said this year the junior high school students will be able to head to Al-ford Lake due to a commu-nity golf tournament. The money raised in the tourna-ment has covered the cost for all students.

“There is a lot of com-munity involvement in our school,” Bartley said. She noted that students them-selves involve themselves in the community, doing a lot of community service, like community clean up, dirty jobs and dish wash-ing. In return, the commu-nity is completely behind the students.

On Fridays, students from grades 5-9 head over the arena for hockey acad-emy, and students who choose to not participate in hockey get to play other sports in the sports acad-emy.

Parental involvement is high at the school, with hot lunches being provided by the parent council every Friday.

After years of planning and waiting, the village of Gadsby and its residents should have a completed sewer system by No-vember.

Village administrator Carla Tuck said that construction on the system began in early September after the contract was awarded to Ernie Gendre.

“This has been in the works with the en-tire community for a few years already,” she said.

A public meeting was held at the village bank building on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 20, to update the community on the current situation.

The sewer is being installed as a re-quirement of Alberta Environment, but Tuck said that capital grants from the province will completely cover the cost of its construction.

“We’re receiving government grants to put it in up to all the residents’ property lines,” she said, adding that the process of applying for grant money over multi-ple years was responsible for the delay in

construction. “We’ve been saving up our grants for

several years,” said Fred Entwisle, who has served on the village council for more than a decade.

He added that the project has been com-pleted in stages, starting with the intro-duction of water services, followed by the construction of the sewage lagoon and lift station.

Entwisle said the cost of the sewer sys-tem was estimated at around $425,000.

Tuck said the response to the public meeting was positive, adding, “Just about all of the landowners were present.”

“People seem to have accepted what we’re offering fairly well,” added Entwisle.

The village’s landowners, who cur-rently rely on septic tanks, will each be responsible for making the connections on their own property.

Tuck estimated that around 50 people currently make their home in Gadsby.

According to Tuck, Gendre has indicat-ed that construction should be complete by the end of November.

The big lamp in Donalda is finally being rejuvenated. A car accident back in May knocked out the walkway to the lamp. It was still ac-cessible to the public but did not look very pictur-esque. Now the repair to the walkway are almost com-plete. We will let everyone know about the “grand re-opening.”

At 42 feet tall and 16 feet wide, the replica of a coal oil lamp was the brainchild of four local residents. The purpose of the lamp was to bring attention to our local museum and the collection of oil lamps in its collec-tion.

Ray Kneeland and his daughter Teresa, along with Phil Racine and his

wife, Joyce, got together in early spring 1997 and discussed several ideas to promote Donalda until they had come up with the lamp idea. Phil had taken drafting in high school and volunteered to design it and then present it to the Ag Society which set aside $5,000. The Village and the Museum Society were

then approached, where the concept was accepted. The village donated the land and the museum agreed to manage the project. A com-mittee went to work on fun-draising and getting esti-mates and an engineer who could work out the structur-al strength and fine-tune the design. The massive steel and fiberglass structure was built by DNR Welding (Stettler) and Versa Fiber-glass (Meeting Creek).

The committee members at this time were Ray Knee-land, Phil Racine, Joyce Racine, Susan Dahl, Harry Erickson, Leona Erickson, Sharron Scott, Lane Dam-berger, Joe Schafer, Harry

Collin, Ina Damberger, Deb Schafer, Victor Richelhoff, Paul McKay, Jean Knudt-son, and Robin Cosgrave, Village Administrator. Also involved were the vil-lagers and community of Donalda, the Government of Alberta, and a lot of oth-er contributors from near and far across Canada and into the U.S.A.

Yes, there were a few skeptics around, such as one gentlemen who stated that the Committee could not raise more than $30,000. In fact, the Committee raised a grand total of $140,000 by the end of June, 2000. This was enough to pay for the lamp at $115,000 and to

start landscaping around it. Since its opening on July

1, 2000, tourist attendance has been climbing in Don-alda. Since the demise of the railway, the number of tourists has declined but the lamp remains an iconic fea-ture of Donalda that attracts people from far and wide.

Make your way out to Donalda to view the lamp and the spectacular view of the coulee rim. If you are interested in a walk there is a hiking trail into the coulee and a place to en-joy a warm Indian Summerafternoon.

With harvest in full swing, and as they rush to reap what has been sowed, the only traveling being done is by the wife who goes for the new parts and the food to feed the busy bunch. It is fall weather and the trees are beautiful, dressed in their fall colors.

Parent council held their first meeting on Mon-day evening with a meet and greet for the new staff members. The board for the new school year are chair person – Melody Neufeld, vice – Tara Schilling, sec-retary – Erika Grice with Cynthia Perry as treasurer. The council and the stu-dents will be selling BC apples and cookie dough this fall. The apples come highly recommended and orders have to be in by mid- October. We will be report-ing on the new council and their planned activities.

The seniors’ potluck sup-per and fall meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the centre. Bingo has start-ed on every other Tuesday afternoon and floor curling will begin after harvest. Potluck suppers are held on the third Tuesday of the month and everyone is wel-come. A cleanup at the cen-tre is planned for Oct. 22.

We welcome another young family to our com-munity. Van and Kayla Reuangrith are new to the Circle Square ranch and

have three young children. Van is the new cook.

Three Halkirk students are part of the Castor high school volleyball team, the Raiders. They are Katelyn Dalmer, Tiana Gamroth and Haley Grice. They brought home a bronze on the con-solation side this weekend at a tournament in Calgary.

Jack Fowler from Brooks accompanied his daughter, Donna Godbersen to Red Deer last weekend where they met up with all Jacks siblings over lunch. At-tending were his brother, Ray and sisters Dot, Alice and Bernice. This gave the cousins, who were the driv-ers, a chance to visit too.

Ed Ruff from Wetaskwin called in town on Tuesday. Ed had lived in Hallkirk, two and a half miles north and attended school here, but left at age 16 in 1942. His story is on page 414 of the history book.

Coming up: Sept. 24- Awards night at the school at 7 p.m.; Sept. 26 – Moth-er Teresa students will join with Teresetta at Gus Wetter for the Terry Fox run; Oct. 2 and Oct. 9 – Hall board Ham and Turkey Thanks-giving bingo at 7:30; Oct. 18 – Oyster Fry and White elephant sale sponsored by the Elks.

Kate SysonSTETTLER ELEMENTARY

Our young cross country team had a lot of fun and was very successful in Wetaskiwin this Saturday. The cross-country team is made up of stu-dents from grades 2 to 5. Our elemen-tary school did very well capturing the grade 2-3 boys division behind strong runs by Stefan Oprea (first) and Colby Frank (sixth). Stefan received a medal and both boys received a top 6 t-shirt.

The grade 2-3 girls also won their division with Caitlyn King being the top runner from our school in seventh place. The grade 4-5 boys had 60 plus competitors and our boys placed third overall with our grade 4-5 girls plac-ing second with 64 plus runners. Gab-by Heck was our top girl runner plac-ing 10th and Carter Kranzler placed 20th. In the overall boys competition

for the elementary, our boys won and our school placed second overall

Our students did very well and the 7 Habits were displayed throughout the morning. A big thank you to the many parents that brought their kids to the race. Practices run during recess and all our mini athletes prepared very hard for this fun event. Thank-you Mrs. Poapst and Mrs. Limpert for all your work with this team. This week, all our students are working on habit number one, which is ‘Being Proac-tive’. In 1TJ, they made Proactive Me People to sit in their chairs during open house. Each child wrote a way they can be proactive. They also have been learning about patterns in math.

3KR is studying rocks and miner-als. The students learned that igne-ous rocks come from volcanoes. The students enjoyed making their own

“mini” volcano and “erupting” them. In Grade 2, the students are having lots of fun with magnets in science.

We would like to thank all our par-ents for coming out to our open house. It was wonderful to see everyone. This week, we are gearing up for our Terry Fox run which is happening Friday, Sept. 26. All parents, grandparents, siblings are welcome to join us on the track around 1:25 pm. Remember if SES earns $20 000, Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Syson will kiss a pig. Good luck with the fundraising.

We had a lot of fun opening our Grade 2 playground on Friday. All people who were involved were thanked and there was a ribbon cutting ceremony to follow. Our students love this new playground and it has been very exciting having this new space open for our students.

SES had great success in cross country competition

Patty SteenRUMSEY RECORD

Thank goodness the weather has turned around and de-cided to cooperate for the grain farmers in our area, so happy harvesting, everyone. As I said last week, things are pretty quiet around the community because everyone is in a rush to get their gardens and fields emptied to store all that goodness away for winter.

The Ag Society had received some farm safety kits this summer and were handing them out free to anyone in the community, so with that in mind, I thought I would reiterate some of the most important farm safety messages to keep you safe throughout this rush-rush season. If you didn’t re-ceive your kit, just contact one of the Ag members about it.

1. When starting in a new area, do a quick safety check of buildings and grounds for fire hazards, hidden holes that could cause equipment to tip, hidden objects that could damage your equipment and cause a delay;

2. Keep your tools stored in their correct location so you can find them quickly when you need them and they don’t cause injury or damage being dropped in the wrong spot;

3. Store farm chemicals and their empty containers care-fully where kids and animals can’t get to them. Treat jerry cans with gas just as carefully;

4. Keep your safety equipment readily available, like those safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, coveralls and face masks for handling chemicals, cleaning grain bins and barns. Keep your fire extinguishers handy and ready to use. Be careful to not wear loose clothing around moving equipment because as we all know how quickly that can get wrapped around a PTO shaft;

5. Talk to your kids as you work about the safety aspects

of your job so it becomes an ingrained part of their thought process as they grow and work beside you on the farm;

6. Never leave running equipment unattended. Thinking you will only be gone for a minute always add up to more time away when a child or animal could get wander into the work site and get hurt;

7. Watch how your work partner hitches a ride, don’t let someone sit on a fender, hang off the steps of the tractor, jump on the back or on the hitch. This is unsafe and could lead to a tragic end;

8. Dealing with livestock also has its safety aspects as well. Take it easy and slow, animals always react better in a calm environment. Maintain your corral and fencing to reduce chance of injury to you or them;

9. Take a few extra minutes now to prevent years of pain and suffering later. You can’t go back on a bad decision so make the best one now.

Also, if you belong to the Agri-Stability program, those forms are due in at the end of this month. You can tell it wasn’t designed by a farm when they pick the busiest time of the year to get your books in order!

Finally, the joke of the week:A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary sur-

gery. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m so sorry, Cuddles has passed away.”

The distressed owner wailed, “Are you sure? “Yes, I am sure. The duck is dead,” he replied. “How can you be so sure,” she protested. “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or some-thing.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room, and returned a few moments later with a large black Lab-rador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amaze-ment, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog, took it out, and returned a few moments later with a beautiful cat.

The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.” Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and pro-duced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150”, she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead” The vet shrugged. “I’m sorry. If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan.....

Have a good week, everyone.

A note to the patrons of Ruthie’s Roost, there is a change of business hours. The café in Endiang will be closed on Mondays and also from 2-4 p.m. every day un-til further notice. Maryann McLearn is in charge of the café while her mother Verla Buchwitz is away. We will keep you posted when regu-lar hours resume.

We extend congratula-tions to Kelly and Bobbi Buchwitz on the arrival of their third son Charles Da-vid on Sept. 16. Charlie weighed eight pounds 11 ounces and is a little brother for Sullivan and Ben.

Congratulations also to

the grandparents Dave and Luann Buchwitz and Doug Carmichael and Jane and great-grandparents Nat Bu-chwitz and Lou Lohrmann.

Eugene and Gloria Rabb enjoyed a week of mountain holidays in the Banff and Nordegg areas.

Maureen Wasdal, along with her daughter Mandy Wasdal of Red Deer, was in Vancouver for a Nucerity International conference.

With the return of favour-able harvest weather farm-ers are busy working long hours harvesting the grain and canola crops. Hopeful-ly, the weather will last until everyone gets finished.

A former Endiang resi-dent, Gordon Walker, (some

will remember when he was known by the nickname Tick when he lived here) stopped by the café in En-diang on his way home to Bowden. He was able to re-new acquaintances and visit with several folks.

There have been several changes in our community with some folks deciding to give town-life a try.

Rod and Lynnette Schel-lenberg have purchased a home in Stettler and plan to move soon. We wish them all the best in their

new location. Joe and Beth Knowles have also pur-chased a home in Stettler and are getting settled in there. We hope they like their new surroundings.

Irene Brooker and Marty Brooker and Terri Simpson are in the process of moving to Hanna where Marty and Terri have obtained employ-ment.

The community will miss you all; we hope you return often for visits. Endmoor’s loss is definitely Stettler and Hanna’s gain.

Paulette HeerGADSBY/WESTWOODS

In the past year or so, the population of Gadsby has gone from 29 to 59. In 1998 the water was put in, mak-ing it available to all resi-dences and public buildings. The Saturday morning town meeting at the bank building was well attended. The sole purpose of the meeting was to inform residents on the requirements and cost ideas for the sewer project. The town council announced that they are hoping to be able to tie into the residenc-es by early November. A relief to many! Coffee and donuts were served.

Saturday evening saw 23 persons at the bank build-ing for the monthly cash bingo. The Loonie pot did not go and is now sitting at $137.50! Next bingo, Oct.18.

Vic and Barb Carey have returned from a week of relaxation in Fairmont Hot Springs, taking their trailer and enjoying a last of sum-mer camping trip. On the way, they stopped at the Ice Fields, but with heavy snow coming down, they left the famous Skywalk for next time! While in Fairmont, Barb’s cousin Roberta vis-ited them. Then on the way home, Vic and Barb stopped in Stavely to visit Vic’s brother Brent.

A belated birthday cel-

ebration for Fred Entwisle saw Kyle and Leigha, Tom and Angela and Kal-li; Haley and Cooper all home for a barbeque and birthday cake (made and decorated by granddaugh-ter Cooper). Also, Fred’s sister Thelma Davits was there from Kimberley, B.C. Thelma has been home for a couple weeks visiting fam-ily (Mareena and Jason and their families) as well as friends (I joined her Sunday for dinner the “The Other Side” restaurant). Great to have you home, Thelma!

Bill and Joyce Hansel helped daughter Sandy cel-ebrate her birthday on Sat-urday night at Sandy’s with family and friends, supper and cake. Then Sunday Bill

and Joyce drove to Cadogan to daughter Mary Lou and Stan Botting’s where they enjoyed the day at the lake at their cabin. All the Bot-ting family stopped in at one time or another, including baby Brett.

Panthers pounce on

Drum Terrapins, yet

to concede any points

INDEPENDENT STAFF

Stettler’s Wildcats restored their con-fidence by winning their away game in Wetaskiwin by a score of 15-8 despite being interrupted by torrential rain mid-way through the match on Friday, Sept. 19.

Wildcats had a strong start with their first touchdown coming midway through the first quarter and with the conversion of the kick, it was 7-0 for the Stettler boys early in the game. In the first minute of the second quarter, Wildcats scored another touchdown but this time without the conversion and led 13-0 as the first half ended.

Strong winds and heavy rain forced an interruption of the game for about 45 minutes. The hosts increased their pressure on the visitors with the start of the third quarter but it was not until the last quarter of the game that there was change on the scoreboard. Wildcats conceded two points to Sabres, but in the meantime found two separate points by kicking to the end zone before the Wetaskiwin side scored their touch-down just two minutes from the end of regulation.

Coach Guy Neitz said the first half of the game was especially strong, adding that the Wildcats’ defense formations were solid throughout.

He highlighted punter Garrett Burns, who also attempted two field goals, making a narrow miss on one.

“He’s really showing some potential there,” said Neitz, adding that his efforts helped put the game out of reach for Wetaskiwin.

In the second half, Wetaskiwin’s defense changed its approach, which “made it a lot more difficult to find any space,” he said. Tailgate party this week

The Wildcats will host the Rocky Mountain House Rebels on Thursday, Sept. 25, in a special evening game be-ginning at 7 p.m.

The community is invited to attend the game, which will feature some addi-tional activities and fundraisers in sup-port of the football program. Portable

lights will be in place to illuminate the field.

A concession stand will offer burgers, hot dogs and the usual fare from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. OK Tire will sponsor a foot-ball toss game, and organizers have also promised a 50/50 draw with a unique twist.

Neitz said this is the second year the team has hosted an evening game, add-ing that proceeds will go towards fin-ishing touches on the field house and locker rooms.


The Stettler Panthers con-tinued their winning streak this past Saturday after shut-ting down the Drumheller Ter-rapins in a 22-0 win.

The team hasn’t allowed a single point be scored against them so far this season.

The Panthers stalked the Terrapins the whole game, let-ting the team gain a few yards before the defence pushed them back into their own half of the field, play after play.

Underager David Butter-wick, a 10-year-old player on the team, broke away from the scrum in the first half to make a 49-yard dash to score the Panthers’ first touchdown.

Unfortunately, it was But-terwick’s only touchdown of the game – he was later taken off the roster with a minor in-jury.

“We had a few guys out,” coach Berri Shirley said. “My own son was out with a bad

case of the flu, but our back-ups played really well. They stepped into the positions and did their jobs.”

In fact, Butterwick’s re-placement, Liam McQuay, went on to score another touchdown.

Though the Terrapins fought hard against the Pan-thers, they were no match for the solid wall of defence the team brought to the field. To their credit, though, their defence managed to keep the Panthers from running away with the game, keeping the score to a small 22-0.

This coming Saturday, Sept. 27, the Panthers play in Strathmore, another unde-feated team. Shirley said the Strathmore boys will put the Panthers to the test, but he’s confident the winning streak can continue so long as there are no key injuries.

The first Saturday in Octo-ber sees the Panthers return home to face Rocky Mountain House at 11 a.m.

There was lots of scram-bling on the arena ice dur-ing the Stettler Lightning’s first game of the 2014-2015 season, but in the end they not only outshot the com-peting High River Flyers, they outscored them 3-1.

The game got off to a tentative start as both teams sussed each other out. Stet-tler played hard, shooting repeatedly on net but com-

ing up empty handed until the last three minutes of the period, when team captain Mark Dietz snapped one past the Flyers’ netminder.

“I thought we brought some good enthusiasm and jump,” Doug Smith, gener-al manager, said, but added that the enthusiasm some-times left the Lightning out of position.

The Flyers opened the second period about five minutes in, scoring against rookie goalie Jordan Mc-

Callum.The team, as the game

wore on, settled some of that nervous, first-game energy and began playing better together, turning the game from an individual with a puck to a team game. Though the Lightning didn’t score in the second, they had several key oppor-tunities to do so as the Fly-ers’ goalie scrambled to-and-fro, at one point even losing his helmet.

Going into the third with

a tie, the Lightning burst out of the box and scored a mere 40 seconds into the period, bringing the score to 2-1 for the Stettler boys.

It was a nail-biting period as the team held on to their lead for the rest of the pe-riod, despite several scary moments at net, including one point where McCal-lum, in an effort to get to the other side of the net, ended up flat on his back and had to scramble to get back to his feet.

Frustrated at their inabil-ity to score, Flyers’ No. 11, Terry Twigg, brawled with the Lightning, earning him-self a 10-minute penalty and giving the Lightning a leg up against the away team.

With less than a minute

to go in the game, the Fly-ers pulled their goalie with the hopes that a sixth man in the game would let them tie up the score, but instead the Lightning burst past their defence, adding an-other goal to the tally with about 40 seconds left in the game, ending the match 3-1.

After the game, Smith said that at times, he does miss the players that didn’t return this year, noting that he, “definitely miss(es) some of the physical size, the speed of the old guys.”

He was quick to praise the team’s rookies, espe-cially goalie McCallum, who, “did great.”

Smith said he felt the game would have been dif-ferent if Ponoka’s Tyler

Ekeli had been able to play. Ekeli, who was cut last-minute from the Wetaski-win team, made it onto the Lightning roster but his transfer papers hadn’t come through in time for him to play in the season opener.

Next week, the Lightning play in High River, facing the Flyers on their home turf, and then will face Strathmore, who return af-ter a year absence from the league, on their Olympic-size ice surface.

On Oct. 4, the Lightning will play host to the Co-chrane Generals.

“They’re a team we pe-rennially butt heads with,” Smith said. “They struggled a bit last year, (but I expect) they’ll have a bit more pol-ish this time around.”

Stacey Lavallie/Independent reporter

It’s a scramble in front of the net as the High River Flyers’ goalie dives for the puck. The play was stopped a moment later after his helmet tumbled loose.

MARION MCKERCHER1916 - 2014Mrs. Marion McKercher passed away peacefully on September 14, 2014 while residing at Points West Living. Marion was the eldest surviving daughter of John and Florence Innocent of Big Valley and she was born on December 22, 1916. During Marion’s mid-teens, her mother passed away. She very willingly took on the motherly role to care for her eight siblings and her father. Marion received her public education by attending Zenith and Botha schools. She

married Wilfred McMahon on November 19, 1937 and through this marriage, they had a son and a daughter. After her husband was discharged from the Air Force, they moved from Calgary to Penticton, B.C. Marion loved gardening and Penticton was where she had the opportunity to have a large vegetable garden, fruit trees and a few pet animals. They moved to Kitimat, B.C. in December 1956. While residing in Kitimat, she worked for the post offi ce for 23 years. Her husband, Wilfred passed away on December 21, 1958. She stayed in Kitimat and continued working for the post offi ce. She married Doug McKercher on June 21, 1965. After they retired they fi nally settled in Creston, B.C. Her husband Doug passed sway on May 13, 1981 leaving her alone again. During the summer of 1991, Marion returned to Stettler to be closer to her brothers and sisters. She was able to have a large vegetable garden, two cats and continue doing her hobby of quilting. Much of her garden produce went to the local food bank and her many quilts went to family and friends. Marion will be greatly missed by many, but especially by her son, Jack McMahon (Beverley), daughter Sylvia Thompson (Stephen Berman), brother John Innocent (Vally), sisters Mary Thomson (Bob), and Dorothy Isaac, sister-in-law Madeleine Innocent, granddaughter Julie Spence, grandsons Keven Spence and Andrew McMahon, fi ve great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Marion was predeceased by her parents, husbands Wilfred McMahon and Doug McKercher, her brother Ken and wife Emma, Murray, sister Florence and husband Tom, brothers Ralph and wife Edith, Don and wife Rose and grandson Shane Thompson. A special thank you to all family members and caregivers who assisted Marion in her later years of life. A funeral service will be held in the Brennen Funeral Home Chapel on Friday, September 26, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. with Rev. Ross Helgeton offi ciating. A light luncheon will be served after the service. The interment of Marion’s ashes will be done at a later date by her son and daughter in the Botha Woodland Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Marion, memorial contributions may be made to STARS Air Ambulance or to a charity of your choice in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Box 193, Stettler, AB T0C 2L0 403-742-3315 who have been entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements.

Bunny (Bernice) Peterson

On the morning of September 14th, 2014 Bunny Peterson passed away peacefully at age 68 at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born August 22nd, 1946 in Stettler, Alberta to Rudolph and Doris Hennel. Bunny’s childhood was spent on her family’s farm in the Linda Hall area. Following high school, Bunny graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1965. A year later, she married the love of her life, Manley Peterson. For

the fi rst year of their marriage, they lived in Coronation, AB, and in the fall of 1967, moved to Barrhead, AB. They welcomed their fi rst child Greg in October of 1968. In 1970, their second son Brad was born, and in 1973 the completed their family with the birth of their daughter Wanda. Bunny and Manley were proud to become the new owners of the Big M Community Store, and relocated their family to Sangudo, AB in 1969. Bunny became very involved in the community. She volunteered for the Sangudo Minor Sports Association, the Sangudo Fitness and Dance Society, and over the years volunteered at many events, believing whole heartedly in supporting her community. Bunny’s primary source of pride was her family. She could be found travelling, camping, playing cards, attending rodeos and horseshoe tournaments with those she loved. Every year, Bunny attended the Ponoka Stampede, where she camped for the entire week, and enjoyed visiting with family and friends. She was a vibrant, youthful 68 year old who retired from nursing at the Mayerthorpe Health Centre last November after 23 years of employment. Her nursing colleagues speak of Bunny’s impeccable nursing skills, kind, compassionate manner, and say that she could work circles around nurses half her age. After losing her husband Manley in 2009, Bunny travelled with friends and looked forward to retirement in her hometown of Stettler. In January 2014, Bunny moved back to Stettler. She was excited about her new beginning, and happy to be closer to her Hennel and Mulbach relatives. Bunny will always be loved and remembered by her children Greg (Deborah) Peterson, Brad (Miri) Peterson, Wanda (Derek) Roberts and Joerg (Elizabeth) Evermann, grandchildren Liam and Emmy Peterson, Kasia and Jalen Mitchell, Joshua and Jesse Roberts, Alexander Evermann, and great-granddaughter Kassidy Rae Mitchell. Bunny is also survived by her brothers Allan (Rita) Hennel, Ron (Jo) Hennel, sisters-in-law Nancey McAllister, and Sharon and Carol Peterson; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and many very dear friends. She was predeceased by her parents Doris and Rudolph Hennel, husband Manley, and other special family members. A memorial service was held at the Stettler United Church on September 19th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. with the Rev. Jan Richardson offi ciating. Immediately following the service friends and family gathered at Linda Hall for a time of fellowship and refreshments. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary or to the Estonian Cemetery near Stettler, in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Service P.O. Box 193, Stettler, AB TOC 2LO who have been entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements. 403.742.3315.

Louise BellairBOTHA BOOSTER

It’s sure looking a lot like fall now with colored leaves hanging on the trees and apparently this coming Wednesday Sept. 23 is officially the first day of autumn according to the calendar, so hope-fully Old Man Winter takes a while before it hits again, so we can have a great fall before than.

Gather up all your quilting items and join the ladies at the Botha Seniors’ Centre Monday, Sept. 29 starting at 9:30 a.m. for another fantastic year of quilting. They would love to see everyone join them, and they would love to teach you all the quilting techniques they know. So why not join them, then and have a great visit and if you have never quilted before, learn a new craft. This group meets every second and last Monday of each month.

This coming Sunday, Sept. 28, starting at 1 p.m., the Botha Hall will be a very active and fun place to be. It’s the Old-Time Dance club starting up for another year, and these dances are open to ev-eryone regardless of age. To kick this season off, the “Black Vel-vet Band” will be entertaining the crowd for that afternoon. They are fantastic and a ball to dance to, so make sure you come on out for the fun. There will be a pot luck luncheon, so they are asking ev-eryone to bring buns/sandwiches or dessert with you to share. There

will, however, be a change to their dance schedule as before they held Friday night dances, but this year there will only be dances Sunday afternoons, with no Friday night dances. If you would like to know the reason for this, or any informa-tion on any dances please contact Doug Haustein at 403-742-3994.

Bingo evening takes place again on Tuesday, Sept. 30 ,starting at 7:15 p.m. The jackpot and Loonie pots have not been won for quite some time now, so who knows you could be the one winning one or both of these. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the balls starting to roll at 7:15. So make sure you come out and try out your luck, who knows you could be the next big winner.

The coffee pot is always on at 10 a.m. at the seniors’ centre ev-ery Wednesday morning, and they would love to see you join them.

Then starting at 1 p.m. again at the seniors’ centre every Wednes-day afternoon is carpet bowling. They would like it if everyone joined them there and have a friendly game of bowling, and also a great time for a friendly conver-sation. Carpet bowling is a fun game to play and they would love to see you join them for another great year of fun exercise.

Then Thursday afternoons, start-ing at 1 p.m., the rocks start mov-ing again at floor curling. They to have a great year of fun and also some tournaments, besides fun,

you can meet friends from other towns, and have a great time do-ing it. They hope to see everyone join them.

Something to mark on your cal-endars is Monday, Oct. 6, starting at 11:30 a.m. It’s time for a Bo-tha seniors monthly meeting and these meetings are very important to attend. These meetings start out with a pot luck luncheon, so please make up one of your favorite dish-es and bring it along to share. So, hopefully all seniors will be able to attend.

The Botha School is a very ac-tive place again for another school year, with everyone getting back into their routines again. Hope-fully soon, I will be getting a up-date on their routine, so we can let everyone know of some exciting events coming up in the future. So please stay posted.

With fall upon us and everyone getting ready for winter again, the Botha Transit Station is open Tuesday afternoons and Saturday mornings for your convenience. Hopefully this works for every-one’s schedule.

In closing, I hope everyone has a great fall. Also if anyone is cel-ebrating a birthday or anniversary this month, hope everyone had a great one, or will have a great one. If anyone has any upcoming cele-brations coming up please feel free to contact me at 403-742-5317, so we can get them in our column. Thank you.

Independent SPORTSThe Stettler Independent Wednesday, September 24, 2014


Stettler’s junior girls volleyball team kicked off the year in fine fashion last week, defeating Ponoka in their first game of the sea-son.

Ponoka hosted the team from William E. Hay Composite High School on Tuesday, Sept. 16, losing to their challengers in four sets.

Coach Alicia Kneeland said the junior girls are building from their success last season, noting that it was at last year’s final tournament that “we jelled as a team.”

“Things are really prom-ising this year,” she said. “We have some really powerful young ladies on our team.”

William E. Hay won in three sets — 25-22, 27-25 and 25-22 — as well as an additional round played to 15 points. Mikayla Torg-erson was named player of the game.

The junior girls also competed at a tournament hosted by Calgary’s Bish-op O’Byrne High School last weekend, reaching the consolation finals.

Kneeland applauded the team for its positive attitude despite its even-tual defeat, adding, “We learned a lot.”

“I am so excited to be coaching the young ladies this year,” she said.

The junior girls will

compete in a tournament in Lacombe on Sept. 26 and 27. They also hosted Cam-rose on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and are scheduled to visit Rocky Mountain House’s West Central High School on Sept. 30. Senior boys

The senior boys team visited Ponoka for their season opener on Wednes-day, Sept. 17, winning one set and losing three. Re-sults were 21-25, 25-21, 14-25 and 15-25.

“We put in a strong ef-fort,” said coach Derrick Hatch, “but the rust wasn’t off yet.”

Hatch said the Stettler team struggled in compet-ing against a club team,

noting, “It takes a while for them to catch up to speed.”Still, Hatch added, he saw a lot of good effort from his team that he hopes to build upon in upcoming games. The senior boys host Cam-rose on Wednesday, Sept. 24, while their next away game will be in Rocky Mountain House on Oct. 1.Senior girlsThe senior girls team also visited Ponoka to kick off their season on Wednes-day, Sept. 17, losing in three sets. Results were 6-25, 11-25 and 12-25.Coach Corinne Stephenson said the team played hard but struggled in the first set, showing marked im-

provement in the second and third sets.“They started talking to each other,” she said. “They ended up meshing really well.”Stephenson said this year is a rebuilding year for the team, with only three re-turning players. They continued to make progress at a tournament in Ardrossan this past week-

end, reaching the consola-tion finals, where they lost to Wetaskiwin.

“This weekend, they re-ally were able to pull it to-gether,” said Stephenson. “They’re finding some bal-ance now.”

The senior girls hosted Camrose on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and are scheduled to visit Rocky Mountain House on Sept. 30.

Junior boysThis year, William E.

Hay’s junior boys team is being coached by Joe Thibeau, who couldn’t be reached for comment at press time.

The team begins its season this week, hosting Camrose on Wednesday, Sept. 24, and will play its first away game in Rocky Mountain House on Oct. 1.


The Stettler Cougars faced the Hunt-ing Hills Lightning this past Saturday in a match-up that pitted a young team against an older one and led to a messy 70-12 fin-ish in favour of the visiting Lightning.

Despite the painful final score, the game seemed to be going in a completely different direction at the end of the first quarter, after the Cougars had burst onto the gridiron, shocking the older team with their ferocity.

“I spoke with the coach later,” Cougars coach Ernie Shirreff said. “Their team was shocked.”

During the first, the teams traded the ball, each getting their hands on it for three plays each. Going into the second quarter, Hunting Hills led by a slender margin, 20-12.

But unfortunately for the Cougars, the Lightning’s stunned reaction to the team’s aggressive offence had worn off, and Shirreff said that, “you could see they

were stepping up their game.”Though the Cougars played their hearts

out for the rest of the quarter, it was the beginning of a slide that resulted in the painful 70-12 finish.

“We’re a better team than the final score showed,” Shirreff said, noting that it’s hard for a young team, like the Cou-gars, to keep their spirits up when fac-ing a larger, faster and more experienced team like Hunting Hills.

“It was a bit of a mis-match,” he added. “They have older players and we have younger players.”

This weekend, Sept. 27, the Cougars will face Lindsay Thurber on their home turf, and it’s a game that will be a better matchup in size and experience.

“The team will really be able to see all their work in practice have results with Lindsay Thurber,” Sherriff said.

Sherriff said that there were no specific standouts in the game, but it was an amaz-ing team effort with a strong first quarter, and that he’s proud of the boys for scaring the older team into tougher play.
