Competing internationally for the fi rst time, Stettler has been ranked as one of the top contenders in the Com-munities in Bloom competition.

In the international honours an-nounced last week, the Stettler entry won the national outstanding achieve-ment award for landscaping and earned a special mention for its net-work of walking paths.

“We received fi ve blooms and a rounded average score of 84 per cent,” said Rob Spencer, who chairs the Heartland Beautifi cation Commit-tee and Communities in Bloom for the Town of Stettler.

“International competition has harder judging, so I was happy to stay pretty close to the past scores.”

St. Martins Parish, Guernsey, Channel Islands, was selected as the winner.

Spencer said Stettler was among “lots of great competition,” which in-cluded nearby Forestburg, as well as Trail (B.C.), Gibbons (Alta.), Assini-boia (Sask.), Neepawa (Man.), Kil-larney/Turtle Mountain (Mand), Fogo (N.L.), Aya Town, Japan, and Smr-zice, Czech Republic.

“I think the fi ve blooms and the award shows the commitment the Heartland Beautifi cation Commit-tee has towards this community and should be commended for their ef-forts,” said Mayor Dick Richards.

“For Stettler to be recognized year after year by Communities in Bloom is a great achievement.”

Richards also lauded residents for catching the community spirit.

“All you have to do is drive around town and see at the pride residents have for Stettler,” he said.

For the outstanding achievement award for landscape, Stettler beat two

other fi nalists and many other appli-cants from across Canada, regardless of population of the community.

“I’d like to recognize the efforts of our community, our residents, our volunteers, our town administrators and staff towards making Stettler a great place to live,” Spencer said.

“It isn’t the work of one person or department that gets things done — it is everyone collectively caring.”

Stettler’s fi ve-bloom certifi cate and landscape award will be placed in the town offi ce.

Stettler scored higher in the land-scape award than the Alberta appli-cants of the Regional Municipal of Wood Buffalo and Athabasca for that award.

“It is very big,” Spencer said.“We were also one of three fi nalists

for the environmental-action award.” The awards are judged on indi-

vidual applications outlining work to-ward the criteria for each award, and are judged by judges other than those who visit the communities involved.

Even at the international level, Stettler remains high in its standards to beautify the community, Spencer said.

“Stettler has received fi ve blooms in the national competition for the last fi ve years and has shown continuous improvement every year.

“We received many positive com-ments from our judges, including their recognition of the walking/bike pathways and other initiatives.”

Spencer further credited the com-munity for supporting the local pro-gram.

“We will continue to compete in this program, as we gain incredible insights into improving our commu-nity in ways that we might not think of,” he said.

After their evaluation of the community in late July, volunteer judges Lorna McIlroy and Diana

Weiner gave high praise to the Heart of Alberta, which serves as a regional hub for east-central Alberta.

“More than a tenth of the town’s total area is devoted to parks and en-vironmental spaces,” they reported.

“Extensive pathways crisscross and connect the many green spaces, and the pathways are being expanded annually. Pathways have grass borders and trees are planted alongside for in-terest and beauty, with garbage cans and benches regularly positioned.

“The residents of Stettler were ob-served walking the paths from dawn to dusk. The mission of the Heartland Beautifi cation Committee is Keeping Stettler Clean and Green.”

The judges wrote that Stettler’s walking paths contribute to a “clean, green and healthy” community.

“Communities in Bloom is a na-tional organization dedicated to the promotion of green spaces in commu-nity settings,” they said in their report. “Within the actual context of climate changes and environmental concerns, communities involved in the program can be proud of their efforts, which provide real and meaningful envi-ronmental solutions and benefi t all of society.”

During the awards celebrations in Edmonton, Spencer valued the oppor-tunity to meet people from other com-munities and learn what they do.

“I also had a chance to visit with some of our past judges, and they were very positive about the direction we are going and the strength of the efforts of our town departments and committees,” he said.

“Our continued excellence is a trib-ute to the ongoing efforts of our town staff, volunteer committees and orga-nizations and individual residents.”

Over the coming months, the com-mittee hopes to review the complete evaluations and plan strategies to im-prove for next year.

Local farmers and ranchers are already im-pacted by the recall of beef products contaminated or potentially contaminated with E. coli bacteria from XL Foods in Brooks.

The Brooks plant, which has been closed be-cause of the controversy, processes about one-third of the beef in Canada.

“It’s been dramatic on the cow and bull market — a lost 25 per cent of value,” said Greg Hayden, one of the owners of the Stettler Auction Mart.

Cows that were trad-ing for 80 to 84 cents per pound before the recall are now selling for 60 to 65 cents per pound, Hayden said.

“I don’t know what percentage of the drop is caused by E. coli issues and what is due to season-ality (of the market).”

Traditionally, cow pric-es weaken during the fall sale run when numbers are greater.

Beef producers have re-sponded largely by hold-ing back cows and bulls from the auction block.

The yearling feeder market has been less af-fected, off about five to 10 per cent, according to Hayden.

“The early calf market started with gusto,” he said. “It’s not nearly as ex-citing as a month ago, but now it’s about the same market as last year’s good market.

“Feed prices are con-siderably higher this year — we are fortunate to have this good of a market.”

When the Independent spoke with Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson last week concerning the beef recall, he said he didn’t know when XL Foods would re-open.

“It will re-open when CFIA (Canada Food In-spection Agency) inspec-tors are confident it is safe,” Sorenson said.

The plant regularly has 46 inspectors — 23 per shift.

Sorenson said the CFIA is distanced from the gov-ernment, so politicians don’t have a direct influ-ence on inspections.

Funding has been in-creased to the agency, and “few are talking about that anymore,” he said.

“I am not afraid to eat beef processed there — even beef tested positive for E. coli, if it is cooked to well-done.”

A statement released by Health Canada said ground beef should be cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of at least 71 C (160 F) to kill disease-causing bacteria.

Last Saturday, XL Foods temporarily laid-off 2,000 of its 2,200 em-ployees. However, 800 of those laid-off were called into work Tuesday to work on the processing side to process carcasses already in storage at XL.

The slaughtering side remained closed as the Stettler Independent went to press Tuesday.

An early-morning sin-gle-vehicle rollover last Saturday sent an 18-year-old Stettler man, Lane Turigan, to a Calgary hos-pital in critical condition.

Stettler RCMP reported that Turigan, the driver of the pickup truck, wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle.

Three passengers re-ceived non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The rollover occurred just west of the intersection

of Highway 11 and High-way 12, about 21 kilo-metres west of Stettler.

Turigan was operating the four-door 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 that left the road, RCMP said in a news release.

A police investigation identifi ed that alcohol was not involved, but speed and heavy fog at the time of the rollover were considered factors.

Stettler RCMP, Stettler Regional Fire Depart-ment and Stettler EMS re-sponded to the 911 call at 2:24 a.m. Saturday.

Turigan was taken to

Red Deer Regional Hospi-tal by ambulance. STARS wasn’t available because of heavy fog over central Al-berta, police said.

The passengers — a 21-year-old woman, a 26-year-old man and a 31-year-old man — were all taken to the Stettlerhospital.

Turigan was later trans-ferred to a Calgary hospi-tal, where family members are at his side.

A spokesman for the family said Tuesday morn-ing that they would release an update on Turigan’scondition later this week.

7:00 & 9:15 p.m.

Rated: 14A with awarning of violenceand coarse language


The Stettler and District Agricultural Society brings popular Canadian coun-try-music talent to town Oct. 27.

Julian Austin, along with the sister-act One More Girl, are scheduled to be on stage at the Stettler Agri-plex. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with show time at 7:30.

Austin, renowned in country-music circles, came to the forefront of the in-dustry in 1997 with his No. 1 hit, “Little Ol’ Kisses.” It went on to be named single of the year in 1998.

The 49-year-old Aus-tin began playing guitar at age 13. During his teen years and early 20s, he was involved with rock music before moving to the country genre.

His career went profes-sional in 1994. Austin re-calls touring with Michelle Wright and doing 33 shows in 43 days.

This is Austin’s fi rst time to perform in Stettler.

“I love Alberta,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the Alberta fans, country mu-sic wouldn’t be where it is today.”

The native of Sussex, N.B., lived in Calgary for six years before moving to Steinbach, in his wife An-gela’s home province of Manitoba.

In August, Austin launched his own line of electric guitars; each series has its own unique and radi-cal design.

Austin said he likes “mixing it up” when it comes to concert song se-lections and adds a medley of timeless classics by the Eagles, Trooper, Queen, Rod Stewart and even the King — Elvis Presley.

A new release is in the works for the new year, and Austin anticipates a “Best of the Bad Boy” album coming out in the future.

“I’m pumped to be com-ing to Stettler,” he said.

One More Girl features the talents of Britt and Car-ly McKillip. The up-and-coming stars are working on three songs for their new album, set for release early in 2013. The Vancouver-based singers say they’re splitting their time between Los Angeles and Nashville for the recording of thealbum.

“We’ve been singing

pretty much since we were born — but professionally since we were 14 and 16,” Carly McKillip said.

The siblings have won multiple accolades in their young career, but most no-tably the Canadian Country Music Association’s “Ris-ing Star” award in 2010.

Their signature song, “When it Ain’t Raining,” charted as their fi rst top-10 hit and was a No. 1 video on CMT.

The girls have expanded their horizons beyond sing-ing. Carly has followed in the footsteps of her father,

record-producer Tom McK-illip. She began working with her father and now has produced four songs for Aaron Pritchett’s new album.

Meanwhile, Britt’s talent in voice-overs is being uti-lized in the cartoon series My Little Pony.

The sisters said they’re looking forward to their fi rst visit to Stettler.

“We can’t wait — it will be a fun show,” Britt McK-illip said.

Michelle Rangen, one of the event organizers, said the agricultural society is

“really excited” to bring big-name artists to town.

“It’s a privilege to enrich the lives of the people in the community,” she said. “With the support of the community, we can contin-ue to put on concerts.

“There is not a bad seat in the house and the sound is marvelous. We simply could not do the event with-out the support of Alberta Foundation for the Arts.”

Tickets range from $40 to $65 and are available from the Stettler and Dis-trict Agricultural Society offi ce at 403-742-6288.

A GREEN TIP: “Wasted Food”

No one can do everything. Everyone can do something.Sponsored by the

Heartland Beautifi cation Committee

It is estimated that 40% of the food produced in North America goes to waste, from unused house-hold leftovers to excessive restaurant portions to

unused grocery store products. Don’t throw it away. Fruit that is a bit too mature can be used in smoothies or pies. Make a point of using your

leftovers in tomorrow’s meal. Serve small amounts of food with the understanding that everybody,

especially children, can come back for more.Some food waste is unavoidable, so why not set up a compost bin? In a few months you will end up with rich, valuable compost for

your plants and yard.

Even with just a few minutes to raise several issues, Clearview School Division offi cials were optimistic that the education minister might address their concerns and priorities.

“We are positive about him want-ing to come out, so it gives us a feel-ing for him to know what we’re faced with,” Clearview board chairman Ken Checkel said after a meeting last Thursday with Education Minister Jeff Johnson.

During a Red Deer visit, Johnson spoke to school boards from central Alberta. Afterward, each division’s superintendent and secretary-treasur-er were given fi ve minutes to speak about local issues with the minister.

“These meetings are very impor-tant for him to get a pulse of what’s

happening in education around the province,” Checkel said.

Clearview raised a variety of issues, such as funding for small schools with declining enrolment, the funding for-mula for co-operative busing arrange-ments, facilitating the development of facilities shared by schools and other groups, the provincial tripartite talks regarding a new teacher contract, and the new Education Act.

“We are experiencing a long-term enrolment decline, which will reduce our per-student funding, and that’s a challenge for us,” Checkel said.

As the Clearview public school system negotiates a bus transportation agreement with East Central Catholic School Division, rules for funding are under review.

“He seemed quite interested in that,” Checkel said of Johnson.

With plans to develop a new rec-reation facility in partnership with

Clearview, the Town of Stettler and the County of Stettler, he said the minister also endorsed that project.

“It’s something we might look for-ward to in the future,” Checkel said.

A new provincial contract for teachers, which expired Aug. 31, and the new proposed Education Act were other common issues for Clearview and the minister.

“We want to have as highly-qual-ifi ed level of teachers as we can,” Checkel said.

That would also include fl exible roles and services, the chairman add-ed.

The minister said he’s committed to consulting with school divisions and the community to help defi ne the roles of teachers now and in the changing times ahead.

Checkel said he and the local board also endorse the new Education Act, “without any major changes.”


County of Stettler vet-eran councillor Wayne Nixon was re-elected as reeve last Wednesday as council held its organiza-tional meeting.

While council appoint-ments virtually remain un-changed, council reduced the number of commit-tees the county will par-ticipate in this operating year. Council members also decided to display their fee sheets monthly on the County of Stettler website at stettlercounty.ca.

“Council has made it clear that they are con-fident in its leadership, working relationships and representation on committees and boards,” Shawna Benson, the county’s director of com-munications, said in a news release.

“Council took the time to evaluate its representa-tion on several commit-tees and is committedto being a more-efficient and accountable council by eliminating instan-ces of redundancy and

irrelevancy, and also bowed out of committees where information could be gathered in a more cost-efficient manner.”

Nixon was unanimous-ly voted for his third year as reeve, while Coun. Joe Gendre was unanimously chosen to remain the chair of the Agriculture Service Board, and Blake Chap-man was also given the unanimous nod to remain the chair of the Municipal Planning Commission.

The deputy reeve po-sition is a rotating role every six months. Coun. Terry Schiffner serves from this October to April 30, 2013, while Coun. Lawrence Wilkie fills the role from May 1, 2013, to October 2013.

A 52-year-old man travelling through Stettler in August was handed a heavy sentence in Stettler Provincial Court last Thursday for impaired driving.

Marcus V. Dressler of Sherwood Park was fi ned $2,000 for driving with an alcohol count of three times over the legal limit of .08 milligrams.

“It’s fortunate that you didn’t kill yourself or someone else,” said Judge Jim Hunter.

“The reading of 270 is just about three-and-a-half times the limit, which is an aggravating level.”

The former corrections offi cer was also suspended from driving for 18 months, six months more than the standard 12 months.

“Unfortunately, the message doesn’t get across,”Judge Hunter said.

In other court cases:

— Duncan J. Lagrelle, 18, was sentenced to 45 days in prison for obstructing a police offi cer when he gave a false name and birthday after being stopped by police whilevisiting in Stettler this summer.

“It’s evident you have some issues with addictions and mental health,” Judge Hunter told the accused, whoappeared from Red Deer Remand Centre through closed-circuit television.

His time will also include a sentence for two counts of breaching probation.

— Wade Weldon Barre, 56, of Alix was handed a sus-pended sentence and banned from the village offi ce for one year for causing a disturbance when he disputed a utility bill with an offi ce employee this summer.

“It’s unfortunate that you went out of your way to act in an aggressive way,” Judge Hunter said.

Crown prosecutor Murray McPherson told the court that the accused contested the amount on his bill with theemployee in a way that was deemed “aggressive andintimidating and abusive.”

At the time of writing this column, the fate of the XL Foods beef plant in Brooks was still unde-termined. By press time Tuesday, the plant might have re-opened or still be closed.

In the meantime, the urban media has had virtu-ally daily coverage of what is and isn’t happening with the plant and the company.

Some observations on different aspects of the XL situation:

The mainstream me-dia links every new case of E.coli to the plant. Cu-riously, it’s rarely men-tioned that many of the reported cases, after DNA and strain identifi cation, are not linked to the E.coli found at the plant.

Which causes one to ponder — if they’re not from the plant, where are those other cases coming from and why don’t we hear about a total recall for the suspect food products?

Where are the shrill de-mands from the same ur-ban media that the CFIA must expose the culprits that are the source of those other E.coli cases?

I suspect it’s because those sources might not be beef.

History shows that there is somewhat of a double standard when it comes to food-poisoning reporting. The Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta reports that, on average, 10 people die and thousands get sick every week from food poi-soning. Yet the media only goes over the top when these cases involve beef. Few remember that there were signifi cant food-poi-soning deaths and sickness in the past that involved spinach and raspberries.

I note that the media continues to demand that the XL owners must pub-licly show responsibility, guilt and shame. They cite the Maple Leaf Foods case where the CEO apologized endlessly on TV and in print media ads. What com-mentators don’t seem to realize is that although XL is no doubt sorry for what has occurred, they have no retail consumer brand to protect — therefore, a public confession by XL owners seems pointless.

What the mainstream media also neglects to mention is that they were the recipients of millions of advertising dollars from Maple Leaf Foods when the CEO wanted to reas-sure the public about their brand.

There is a genuine con-cern in the industry that XL might not have the fi -nancial willingness or in-terest to keep the plant go-ing, even if it reopens. The recall alone will cost mil-lions, the inevitable law-suits could cost millions more, and meat-buyers will want to extract sig-nifi cant discounts to again be interested in buying XL beef.

Unless XL has solid in-surance to cover all those millions, it might be out of business. If fi nancing the losses becomes a problem, you can expect the Alberta government and its lend-ing agency will be asked to prop up the plant — it’s just too large to see it fail.

In the absence of XL

owners making a much more public guilty plea (which might actually be a very clever PR position), much of the blame has been directed toward the CFIA and federal Agricul-ture Minister Gerry Ritz.

That’s somewhat ironic, as one of the reasons for creating the CFIA was to defl ect politically-sensitive food-safety cases away from government politi-cians and ministers and into the laps of non-par-tisan bureaucrats. That’s backfi red on the govern-ment, with the minister being constantly grilled in Parliament and hounded by the media.

The case has exposed a clear problem with the governance of the CFIA. Because of the arms-length approach the gov-ernment tried to maintain with the CFIA, it grew into what some would say is a bureaucratic bully that was responsible to no one.

That caused fear and resentment with those it regulated, hardly an atmo-sphere where co-operation is needed to address food-safety issues. Only recent-ly did the CFIA even have an appeal process for its decisions.

One exasperating real-ity is that E.coli and oth-er food-borne pathogens can be almost eliminated through a cold pasteuriza-tion called irradiation.

It’s a food-safety pro-cess that has been around for more than 60 years and is proven to be effective.

It’s approved for a num-ber of food products, but not beef. In what must be the most determined case of bureaucratic obstruc-tion, Health Canada has spent the last 10 years delaying and blocking a CCA application to have it approved for hamburger. It’s approved in the U.S., where the active duty mili-tary consumes only irra-diated meat — is there a message in that?

A vaccine has been de-veloped against E.coli 157, but it’s not used to any ex-tent. Skeptics claim it’s not completely effective.

But since when are any vaccines 100 per cent? I suspect it meets acceptable tolerances — otherwise, it would not have been ap-proved. The reality is the cost and logistics of three injections are the main hurdles.

Besides, the vaccine mainly benefi ts the proces-sor, not the feedlot opera-tor. Now if the beef plant would pay for the vaccine and its application, may-be it would get more use. Perhaps insurance compa-nies will begin to insist on its use if meat companies want to avoid prohibitive premiums for liability cov-erage for recalls.

Whatever happens to the XL Foods plant — one thing is for sure — some-where along the line, the primary producer and the feedlot operator will end up paying the price.

XL beef recall

PromotingStettlerin the tradition ofCarl Stettler

Alexander Solzhenitsyn said that, “If we don’t know our own history, we will simply have to endure all the same mistakes, sacri-fi ces, and absurdities all over again.”

Nineteenth century church historian Philip Schaff wrote, “How shall we labour with any effect to build up the church if we have no thorough knowledge of her histo-ry? History is, and must ever continue to be, next to God’s word, the richest foundation of wisdom, and the surest guide to all suc-cessful practical activity.”

I began reading a history book last week entitled, “On this Day,” by Robert J. Mor-gan, with the sub-title, “365 Amazing and inspiring Stories about Saints, Martyrs and Heroes.”

The entry for today, Oct. 17, relates the story of a remarkable man by the nameof Ignatius of Antioch who lived approxi-mately 50 — 108 A.D.

Ignatius was a student of the apostle John; no doubt one his “little children” (1 John 2:1). There is not a lot of information about his ministry, except that he served faithfully as the third pastor of the church at Antioch for 40 years.

It was here that believers were fi rst called “Christians” (Acts 11:26), and Ignatius was the fi rst to use the term “Christianity.”

With the rise of persecution against Christianity, he was arrested and chained to 10 malicious soldiers. Ignatius said of them, “From Syria even to Rome I fi ght with wild beasts, by land and sea, by night and by day, being bound amidst 10 leopards, even a company of soldiers, who only grow worse when they are kindly treated.”

Ignatius and his 10 “leopards” travelled to Rome, passing through many places

where the apostle Paul had ministered. On the way, Christians came to ask for his prayers. Some of them offered to try to ob-tain his freedom. However, Ignatius urged them not to use fi nancial or political con-nections to deter his impending execution. He told them, “You cannot do me a greater favour than allow me to be poured out as an offering to God while the altar is ready.”

He prayed that they would not have to incur burial costs on his behalf and told them, “Let the beasts to become my sep-ulcher, that they may leave nothing of my body.”

His prayers were answered. On Oct. 17, 108AD, he became entertainment for Em-peror Trajan as ravenous lions took his life and consumed his remains.

He died, but his testimony did not. In keeping with Revelation 13:14, his “good deeds followed him.” Fourteen hundred years later, a young Spanish soldier read Ig-natius’ story and was so moved by it that he dedicated his life to Christ and changed his name to Ignatius … but that is another page in Christian history.

Pastor Ross Helgeton is senior pastor at Erskine Evangelical Free Church.

Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson touched down in his home riding last week — and went back to school.

Sorenson visited Byemoor School last Tuesday to talk about Canada.

The school invited Sorenson to visit Byemoor while he was in his home riding for constituency week.

Sorenson said his staff questioned why he would choose to visit a school as small as Byemoor — rather than a larger school such as Camrose.

“Sometimes, small places get overlooked, and I don’t like to see that happen,” Sorenson said.

His talk covered a wide gamut of topics — from how government works and the role of an MP, to energy ex-ports, trade missions, food safety and making Canada a better place to live.

“Anyone and everyone, through co-operation, can make Canada better,” Sorenson said. “It is important to treat peo-ple with respect.”

The students appeared to enjoy the interaction with So-renson and took full advantage of a “question period” — the opportunity to ask the MP a multitude of questions.

Sorenson presented each student with a Canadian-fl ag lapel pin and gave the school a Canadian fl ag.

Byemoor School principal Corey van Zandbergen said that, each year, the school chooses an annual theme to structure activities around.

“Canada is the theme for this year,” he said. “Last year, the theme was the environment.”

Van Zandbergen said both Sorenson and Jason Kenney — the minister of citizenship, immigration and multicul-turalism — were invited to the school.

Kenney, the MP for the riding of Calgary Southeast, said he was unable to attend because of earlier commitments.

Sorenson, who has deep Alberta roots, said his great-grandfather homesteaded at Killam in 1905.

LES STULBERG/Independent reporter

Kevin Sorenson, the member of Parliament for Crowfoot, speaks to Byemoor School students last week during a visit to his home constituency. The school’s theme for the day — and the school year — is Canada.


POET PERFORMS — Poet and children’s storybook writer Robert (Bob) Heidbreder entertains Stettler and area students Monday at two performances at the Stettler Performing Arts Centre. The retired teacher from Vancouver read from his award-winning books, including Drumheller Dinosaur Dance.

On Thursday, Oct. 4, ATCO Electric put on an electrical-safety demon-stration for Mr. Howell’s Grade 5 science class at Stettler Elementary School.

Gord Latham and Joel Dorn showed the students a model of an electrifi ed town that showed people engag-ing in unsafe activities around power poles, trans-formers and other devices that produce electricity.

The students have been studying a unit on magne-tism and electricity, and they were asked why those activities in the town were unsafe. The students en-joyed the highly education-al demonstration, and be-came more aware of how to be safe when they are near high voltage.

In Mrs. Syson’s science class, the students have been experimenting with

classroom chemistry and got to make and eat rock candy that they made in a crystal-making experiment!

On Friday, we held our Terry Fox wind-up assem-bly in the gym. We had a very special guest speaker, Mrs. Lynn.

We would like to thank Mrs. Lynn for sharing her journey and all her pictures with us. Mrs. Lynn is an in-spiration to us all.

Both the Book Club and the Computer Club have now started for grades 4 and 5 students. The clubs meet during lunch recess once a week, and so far the turnout has been amazing.

This Thursday, our whole school gets to enjoy a performance by Splash ’N’ Boots in the Performing Arts Centre.

A reminder that our school has a web page with a wealth of information on it relating to our school. Parents are encouraged to check the site often: http://ses.clearview.ab.ca.

Also, school fees for the 2012-13 school year are due this Oct. 31.

In kindergarten, the children have been learn-ing numbers with colours this month. Example is: Pp is Polly Panda, who loves to paint purple Pps. They also will be going a lot with pumpkins this month. Sounds like fun.

Botha School will also be running a Read and Rhyme Program this year, geared toward children aged fi ve and under. People can call the school at 403-742-5187 for more information.

Disabled workers earn boostCrowfoot MP Kevin

Sorenson has alerted local businesses and organiza-tions to consider respond-ing to the federal govern-ment’s call for proposals to help employ Crowfoot constituents with disabili-ties.

“Our top priorities are job creation, economic growth and long-term pros-perity, and we know that employers are looking for workers,” Sorenson said in a news release last week.

“I am proud to announce that our government is helping 1,600 Canadians with disabilities get jobs through the Opportunities Fund program.

“We are taking action that will help small-busi-ness owners connect will-ing workers with jobs. This investment through the Opportunities Fund is de-signed to provide work ex-perience to Canadians with

disabilities that will lead to ongoing employment in small or medium-sized en-terprises.”

At the same time, pro-gram proponents hope to increase employer aware-ness of the valuable con-tribution that people with

disabilities can make to a business.

“We are trying to ensure that every-one who wants to workhas the opportunity (to do so) — including under-represented groups such as people with disabilities,”

the MP said. “I hope that our local employers seri-ously consider this oppor-tunity.”

Organizations have until Nov. 16 to apply for Oppor-tunities Fund assistance. More details are available at servicecanada.gc.ca.

COURAGEREMEMBERED

By Darlene TantrumDonalda and District Museum

Things seem to be hap-pening in Donalda of late.

A new business broke ground last Thursday, and a new residential basement has been dug.

Those developments are very positive news for our community.

The Willy Bronze Poker Rally was well-attended last Saturday.

It kicked off with a pan-cake breakfast for the com-munity and riders. It was truly a beautiful weekend to be out enjoying the cou-lees.

The ride was followed with an Oktoberfest cele-bration. The gathering was also well-attended — and the food was outstanding. Kudos for a great job go out to the volunteers who put the Oktoberfest togeth-er.

On Sunday’s plate, the pancake breakfast and music jam session was the first for this season. A wonderful group of musi-cians were there to perform

a total of nine numbers.It appears that, after

having the summer off, all of the entertainers were all ready to play again.

Thank you so much for making the event so entertaining.

Look for the exhibit at the Donalda art gallery honouring our war veter-ans. Please drop by the gallery from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and share a minute of silence. “Remembering.”

Birthday greetings go out to Anna Bailey, Colin Walker, Heather Blouin, Ken Norman, Linda Rider, Tracee Vikse, Randy Shep-herd, Jesse Vikse, Maisie Burlock, Riley Carroll, Mildred Howlett, Rebec-ca Ruehn and anyone else celebrating a birthday this week.

Happy Birthday!

The little blast of winter we had midway through last week has fortunately been replaced with warm temperatures once again, quickly melting the light snowfall.

Remember that the Byemoor community’s an-nual roast-beef supper is scheduled for Oct. 20 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Byemoor hall. Please note the supper is on Saturday. It’s a good opportunity to enjoy some good Alberta beef.

Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson was a visitor at the Byemoor School last Tuesday. He spoke to the students about Canada and answered questions they had. The students seemed thrilled to meet their MP.

The Sunday morning coffee party has started up at the Endiang Hall again, with a good attendance at the fi rst gathering. It runs from 10 a.m. until noon each Sunday, with all wel-come.

Floor curling at the En-diang Hall resumed on

Monday for the fall season. Anyone interested is wel-come to join in at 1:30 p.m. each Monday.

Chelsea Walker was honoured with a bridal shower on Thursday at the Byemoor hall, where she received many useful gifts. Chelsea and Alan Pero will be married on Nov. 22 at the Mayan Riviera in Mexico.

Keep in mind the up-coming bridal shower for Melitta Walgenbach, future bride of Chad Sorensen, on Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Endiang Hall.

There will be a bridal shower for Torie Viste, bride-to-be of Colt Peder-sen, on Oct. 21 at the Scapa Hall at 2 p.m.

The fl u clinic is coming to Byemoor on Oct. 24 from

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Location is to be announced.

Get-well wishes go out to Agnes Sorensen, a pa-tient in the Stettler hospital. We hope you are feeling well soon, Agnes.

Jim and Maureen Was-dal are home from a trip to Utah and Las Vegas. Jim was playing ball in the World Senior Games at St. George, UT, with the Ed-monton-60 team. The team won its fi rst three games, but lost out just before the medal round. The Albertans also took in some of the sights and entertainment of Las Vegas, which wasn’t far away. George and Judy Nichols of Castor accom-panied the Wasdals on the trip.

We send get-well wishes to Melitta Walgenbach, who suffered a back injury in a horse-riding mishap. We hope you are on the mend, Melitta.

Jennifer Knowles fi lled in as substitute teacherfor Walgenbach at the Big Valley School, while she

was recuperating.Sympathy is extended

to the family of Jessie (nee Morris) Lowis, who passed away at age 94 in Corona-tion.

Jessie was raised in the Endiang area, where Winnie Paulsen lives today. She at-tended Summerhill School. When Jessie became a teacher, her fi rst teaching position was at a one-room school near Coronation.

She married a local farmer there and remained in that community until her death.

Local folks had a busy weekend, taking in the Oyster Fry in Halkirk, the turkey supper in Big Valley and the Louisiana Hayride show in Stettler.

The Big Valley-Byemoor atoms have started their hockey season. They won their game in Stettler on the weekend by a wide margin.

Way to go guys — keep up the good work.

Dylan and Janet Clay-pool and boys, who moved to Grande Prairie earlier this year, were back to Byemoor on the weekend. They had a garage sale to dispose of some of their surplus items.

Little-known fact — Canada has more automo-biles per person than any other country in the world.


Bagshaw Electric ADVERTORIAL

‘City slicker’ gets used to living in StettlerKevin Kerik met Allison in 2002. “We

actually met online and had decided to meet in person. She wanted to meet me in a well-lit area, in case I was an axe-murderer.”

The following year, they started their own business together in Calgary. “I had a job at a small fl yer delivery and printing company and thought ‘I can do this’.” Kevin quit that job. Together, he and Allison started their own fl yer delivery and printing company.

Within a year, they had six employees and a growing and very happy client base. Kevin and Allison were married in August 2005. Their son, Preston, was born the next year. As good as it all seemed, it was not going to last. Things soon fell apart fi nancially. They shut the business down in 2007.

Because of that, he developed an interest in personal and business fi nancing and management and began studying to earn his

CFP (certifi ed fi nancial planner) designation.

“We learned a lot about running a business and a lot about how not to run a business,” states Kevin. “I bring this experience with me to help me in my role in continuing the family legacy.”

In July of this year, he moved with his family to Stettler to join Bagshaw Electric. He has started there as a shop hand and electrical apprentice. “I have zero experience in this fi eld and there is so much to learn. It’s overwhelming, but I’m up for the challenge,” says Kevin.

He must be doing OK. Journeyman electrician Matt Morris comments, “Kevin is one

of the better apprentices I’ve worked with.” Kevin is still adjusting to life in Stettler

after living in Calgary so long. “Matt sent me back across town one day for supplies and I got lost on the way back. I had to call for directions,” says the former delivery driver. “I’m getting used to the fact that nobody around here uses addresses. Instead of giving me a building and a street number, I get something like, ‘through the four-way stop and turn left at the big tree.’”

Although Kevin started working atBagshaw Electric this summer, that’s notwhen he started working for BagshawElectric. In 2009, they started carryingthe Mosquito Magnet line and wanted awebsite. They called Kevin because of hisweb-design experience.

Kevin’s hobbies and interests includeice hockey, road hockey, basement hockey,fl oor hockey, tabletop hockey, fi eld hockey,watching hockey and web design.

“I am excited about the NHL lockout,”says Allison. “I might actually get a husbandthis year.”

TASTE OF FALL — Big Valley served up a traditional turkey supper to a largegathering of hungry patrons Sunday. It was a celebration of autumn’s bounties — good food and good friendship. The annual Big Valley fall supper is among multiple dinners scheduled for the greater Stettler and district region in the fall months.

The tickets sold well once again for the Elks an-nual oyster fry and white-elephant sale at the hall on Saturday evening.

Dick and Ann Creasey, as auctioneer and clerk, did a good job of selling the white elephants and raising top dollar, which goes to support youth activities in our area.

Money was also raised in support of the Elks and Royal Purple fund for chil-dren. The Elks did a great job.

We salute our volun-teer fi re department during Fire Prevention Week. This year’s theme is, “Planning two ways out.” One is the door — what’s your other way out?

Halkirk’s volunteer fi re-men are Chief Dale Kent, Raymond Stirling, Matt Koenraadt, Dennis Cordel, Kurt Chick, Ross Elsass-er, Jason Thorkelson, Lee Fowler, Katie Baker and Jordon Elsasser.

New volunteers are al-ways needed for the fi re department. For more infor-mation, phone Dale Kent.

Alberta Municipal Af-fairs sent a plaque to the village in commemoration of our 100th anniversary. A congratulatory plaque was also received from the Town of Coronation. Both are on display at the village offi ce.

All of the Mother Teresa students, as well as the Ther-esetta students, attended the Jon Bauer musical concert at the Christ-King Catholic School in Stettler on Oct. 4. The high-energy concert, a kick-off to the leaders-in-me program, was enjoyed by the students.

Helping Hands play-school, with fi ve young girls in attendance, runs on Mondays and Wednesdays at the school. Ms. Kroes from Stettler is the teacher.

Congratulations to De-

von Johnson and Logan Perry, who placed second for Grade 5 in the CARA cross-country meet at Ther-esetta, and to Madelyn Schauer, who placed fi fth in the Grade 8 division.

Madelyn Schauer, Tiana Gamroth, Lief Neufeld, Eric Williams, Mikenna Schau-er, Brooklyn Perry, Ripley Giffi n and Abby Musgrove all participated in the CWA-JHAA cross-country cham-pionships in Sylvan Lake last Thursday. Only students from Grade 6 and up could compete in that event.

Congratulations to the students who raised $967 at the Terry Fox Run in sup-port of cancer research.

We’re issuing a pet-health warning in our com-munity. A tick was found on the Cordel cat — that’s con-sidered uncommon for this area and it can be serious if the cat bites a human.

Congratulations to Noel and Shirley McBride on the birth of an eight-pound, four-ounce grandson, Paul Theodorus Michael, born on Oct. 12 in Florida. Paul is the fi rst child of Michael and Melissa McBride, and

the proud grandparents have been in Florida awaiting his arrival.

Wendy Ashbacher cel-ebrated Thanksgiving with her son and family — Zane and Leanne and Coltan and Chinook — who live in Turner Valley.

Lowell and Janette Berry travelled to Red Deer and had their Thanksgiving with daughter Brenda and Mur-ray Walder and Mark.

Judy de Mos had her cousin, Donna McRae from Golden, B.C., visiting for a few days. They had a chance to catch up on the visiting and family genealogy.

Rick and Lisa Kent and family met up with Greg and Laura Kent in Grande Prai-rie on the weekend. They passed through some winter weather en route.

COMING UP: The school council is holding a fruit sale, selling apples and pears, from a family-based orchard in Kelowna. Or-ders are to be placed at the school by Oct. 19; Oct. 23 — awards night at the school at 7 p.m.; everyone welcome; Nov. 4 — com-munity turkey supper at the hall from 4 to 7 p.m.; lo-cal residents will receive a call for donations; if you’re missed and would like to help, phone 884-2456 to volunteer; Nov. 6 — fl u shot at the seniors’ centre; Dec. 2 — Breakfast with Santa in conjunction with a Christ-mas market at the school.

Big Valley United Church would like to thank all those who helped in any way to make our fall supper such a suc-cess this past weekend.

Each year, we seem to have more support. Whether you organized, donated food, peeled vegetables, helped cook, serve or clean up — or if you came to enjoy the food and fellowship — thank you.

Bill, we couldn’t do this fundraiser without your help, expertise and generosity.

To all the students and staff from the Big Valley School who helped, a special thank-you. It’s encouraging to know we have those who will help not only now, but in the future as well. Volunteers keep our church and community alive.

We are all so happy that the Big Valley Oil Kings senior AA hockey club is back in full swing for the 2012-13 sea-son. The team has been busy, with four skates in Stettler, and management is putting together the roster for the com-ing season.

With some exciting changes to the roster, the Kings are excited about the on-ice product entering this season.

As with every organization, as each season begins, the hunt is on for volunteers. If you would be interested in game-night volunteering, contact Dustin Edwards at 403-740-5483. We are always on the lookout for admission-door, 50/50 and other support staff throughout the hockey season. Our games can’t run smoothly without our great volunteers!

The Oil Kings’ home-opener is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. Come on out and support the team.

Here are the Big Valley crib results for Sunday, Oct. 14: Eight players were out for the afternoon. First place went to Jack Groat, second to Vi McCarty and third to Margaret Levesque, while the booby went to Len Shaw.

This week, the lucky draw winner was Margaret Levesque, while Caroline Pound won the 50/50 draw. Ev-eryone had a great time. New players are always welcome.

There were 34 people at Big Valley’s weekly Hall Board Bingo this past Thursday. There was no winner for the pro-gressive jackpot, so it will be at $326 next week.

The consolation winner was Brenda Woods. The bo-nanza winner was Connie Anderson, with the consolation going to Lillian Shell. The loonie pot is sitting at $65.

The next Bingo will be this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Come out and join in the fun.

The Big Valley Hall Board is on the lookout for call-ers for their Thursday night Bingo. Training is available, if you’re not sure you could do the job.

It’s a lot of fun and a great way to serve your communi-ty. If you’re willing to give it a try, call Donna at 876-2285 or Sharon at 876-2779.

The 2012 Big Valley “Christmas Craft Show and Sale” is only a month away. Always a big draw in the pre-Christ-mas rush, this event is a great showcase of our local talent. To book a spot in the show for Saturday, Nov. 17, contact Andrea at 403-876-2064.

Municipal Affairs department commemorates 100th birthday


Thanksgiving weekend and all the celebrations are over for another year. Christmas is coming — one just has to look in the stores, as many decorations are already up and stock is ready for gifts.

Because some members of our family had turkey dinners on Saturday and Sunday of the Thanks-giving weekend, we cel-ebrated on Monday. What a great day as all but one grandson, Grant, was able to come to the farm for a barbecue hamburger Thanksgiving feast.

There are 18 of us now, with the grandchildren’s girlfriends and boyfriends. Our dear friend from Sun-set House, Wendell Ebbett, was also here for the week-end, making it 19 at our house.

We do hope that every-one had a great day and en-joyed their family as much as we did.

This past Sunday, our friends, Bev and Dale Wil-son, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, with celebrations at the new Badlands Community Cen-tre in Drumheller. They hardly seem old enough to have been married that long, but the calendar doesn’t distort the truth. Congratulations.

It was with sadness and a tear or two that I read Ellen Sorenson’s obitu-ary. She was known as Ms. Dodd when she was my Grade 1 teacher in the Rumsey school in the 1943-44 school year.

Not so long ago, I had four of my teachers living in Drumheller: Alex Se-maka, Ms. Branum (Mrs. Walter Saunders), Isobel Sinclair and Ms. Dodd (El-

len Sorensen). Sadly, they have all passed away now.

I don’t know about you, but I remember fondly most of my teachers from school days. I might add that wasn’t in the last year or two, either.

At the regular weekly drop-in in Rumsey last Wednesday, Lois Kiemele was the lucky winner of the blackout at bingo. The jackpot starts over now, so maybe you would like to be a part of the festivities and join in on Wednesday afternoons.

Bingo starts at about 2 p.m., and we always have refreshments after that.

Welcome to the commu-nity to Garry and Vel Long-man, who have moved into the Jim Deering acreage east of town. These folks come to our community from Humboldt, Sask., and we welcome them. Their closest neighbours, Gerald and Lorraine Foesier, have visited them and report that they have beautiful Black Morgan horses. Can’t wait to see them.

The Foesiers made sure that the Longmans knew about our annual fall sup-per coming up in the com-munity hall, Saturday, Nov. 3, so that they will be able to meet some of the locals.

Yes, the annual fall sup-per, put on by the Rumsey Ag Society, is being held

Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. This year, there will be a live band following the supper. The band is called “The Freres.” It will be a nice change from previous years, when there was no music after supper. If you have any questions, call Dawn Herd at 368-2138.

Before the Rumsey sup-per, you can go to Munson on Thursday, Oct. 25, and have a feast at their annu-al fall supper. It’s always lots and lots of good food. Homemade pies are on the menu.

On Saturday, Nov. 10, the Morrin Figure Skating club — of which Rumsey young folks are members — are having an evening of fun when the “Chevelles” come to the community hall.

For more information and to reserve tickets, call Sandy at 368-2172. It sounds like another fun evening.

Be sure to mark on your calendar that Saturday, Nov. 17, is the day of the Big Valley Craft Show and Sale. It’s a good place to pick up some Christmas gifts. This is held in the Jubilee Hall, and if anyone needs information, call An-drea Webster.

This Saturday, fam-ily and friends of Ken and Sharon Goddard travelled to Sherwood Park to attend the memorial service for

Sharon’s dad, Elgin Lifeso. A dear friend of the family, Rev. Harold Hunter from Olds, did the service. With his ever-giving assurance and grace, he conducted the ceremony with rever-ence and song. The slide presentation was very well done and enjoyed by all. Sharon’s Dad was a truck driver most of his life and so the songs and pictures brought this forward much to the enjoyment of Elgin’s family.

The weather for travel-ling was excellent and for us, it was nice for us to see some of Ken’s cousins that live in the city (on Ernie’s side).

Thanksgiving Sunday, the United Church in Mor-rin held a Thanksgiving ser-vice for 2012. Rev. Mervy Penfound led the service and he and his wife Mari-lyn extended good wishes to all for Thanksgiving.

Sunday was not a regu-lar day for the Morrin Unit-ed Church, but will be held Sunday, Oct. 21, at which time Jerry Beskewine will lead the service. This will be at the usual Sunday time of 10:30 a.m., as we mourn the loss of one of our dear comrades, Marie Jensen. Her smiling face is not there to greet everyone and enjoy the smell of the freshly brewed coffee.

An estate auction sale for Marie will be held this Saturday in the Morrin community hall, beginning at 10 a.m., with Sinclair Auctions doing the sell-ing. It just might be a good place to spend the day, es-pecially if the weather is chilly.

Lunch will be available, and there’s a quantity of antiques listed.

Progress is being made on the Heartland Business Park, located on the south side of Highway 12, at Stettler’s east entrance.

“Development is pro-ceeding according to the development agreement between the town and county of Stettler,” said Greg Hayden, one of the developers.

“It’s a unique arrange-ment — the land is in the county and the services will be provided by the town.”

Hayden said the prop-erty is being installed with utilities and is tied to town services. Base roads are slated to be constructed and a highway intersec-tion installed for access to Highway 12.

“We hope to have it done by late fall, weather-permitting,” Hayden said.

He described the busi-ness park as a unique fi rst-class development, which will be fully serviced and paved.

Phase 1 of the project will be zoned and devel-oped as highway commer-cial, offering a highly vis-ible location.

The property is being promoted as “high and dry,” because of it higher location and good drain-age.

Hayden said there has already been interest in the property, but he expects people will take a more se-rious look at what there is to offer when the prelimi-nary servicing has been completed and road-work is in place.

The second phase of the project, for the back half of the property, is intended to be developed as country residential.

The Stettler Panthers had a decisive 79-6 win overInnisfail in Central Alberta Football League peeweeaction on the weekend.

The entire team and coaches were sporting pink to support women with can-cer, and the Stettler players handed out pink roses at halftime to the moms and women in the crowd.

The coaches were con-fi dent going into the game, said coach Berri Shirley.

“The kids have been working hard all season and have really put it all together over the last few weeks.”

The Stettler defence was outstanding in holding Inn-isfail to six points.

Carson Nietz, Adam Shirley and Austin Jacob-son exploded for 400 yards of offence. Gavin McQuay ran a pitch play 100 yards and Alex DeYoung returned a punt 100 yards, both for touchdowns.

Steel Nichols was again outstanding on the defen-sive side, as the leading tackler, while Zachary La-chowski had a great kicking game for the Panthers.

“This is was a complete team effort,” Shirley said.

“The coaches are very excited about the future and playoffs.”

The Stettler Lightning have run into a rut early in the Heritage Junior Hockey League season.

The junior B Lightning lost 6-3 to the vis i t -ing Okotoks Bisons on Saturday night at the Stettler Recreation Centre.

It was the fourth loss in as many games for Stettler, which had opened the sea-son with a pair of wins.

Landon Potter, on the power play, and the Ternes twins — Adam and Scott — scored the Stettler goals. It was a two-point night for Adam Ternes.

The Lightning trailed 2-1 after the first period

and 5-1 after 40 minutes.The Bisons scored

three power-play goals in the fateful second period, during which Lightning forward Wyatt Haustein received a major penalty for checking to the head. He has also picked up a one-game suspension.

S t e t t l e r goa l t ende r Simon Thieleman made 28 saves as the Lightning out-shot their guests 37-34.

Jeremy Smith, with four points, and Jordan Eddy each scored two goalsfor the Bisons (5-2), and singles went to Dillon Loomer and Chase Falls.

The Lightning are back home this Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. date with the Airdrie Thunder (2-4-0-1).

When the Thunder last visited Stettler, on Oct. 6, they beat the Lightning 5-4.

Also on tap for Stettler this weekend is a Sunday a f t e rnoon road game against the Medicine Hat Cubs (5-3-0-1).

HOUSTON JOINS THREE HILLS : The Three Hills Thrashers continue to gain a distinct Stettler flavour. After a stint with the junior A Canmore Eagles, Dylan Houston has joined fellow Stettler product Jacob Hamel and Castor brothers Aaron and Michael Neumeier with the Thrashers (2-1-0-1),

Last season, Houston played on a high-scoring Red Deer minor midget line with the Ternes twins.

BRENT FORSTERBig Valley Oil Kings

The Big Valley Oil Kings fi nished their week-end training camp on Sunday at the Big Valley Agriplex, with several new players among those look-ing to contribute to the se-nior AA team.

Calgary-born Curtis Billsten, who had 64 points in 70 games in the 2006-07 season with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice, is among the Big Valley newcomers who has impressed.

Billsten, 26, comes to the Oil Kings with a com-bination of size — at six-foot-three and 220 pounds — and top-end skill. Be-sides playing major junior in the WHL, university in the CIS and pro in the ECHL and CHL, he most recently skated with the SAIT Trojans of the Al-berta Colleges Athletic Conference.

Stettler product Brett Ouellette aims to make a smooth transition from the junior B Lightning to the Oil Kings of the Battle River Hockey League.

In his overage season, Ouellette led the Lightning squad with 34 points in 40 games. He also showed his tenacious side by racking up 97 penalty minutes.

Forward Derek Muhl-bach, fresh out of high school, has ambitions of joining his older brother Brett with the Oil Kings.

Last season, the young-er Muhlbach posted 25 points in 38 games as a rookie with the Lightning. Derek fi nished the sea-son with 14 goals, which was tied for second on the Heritage junior B league team.

Also from the junior B ranks, last year’s Three Hills Thrashers’ captain, Matt Wildeman, hopes to trade in his hometown

jersey for the Oil Kings’ colours this season. Wilde-man was voted the Thrash-ers’ most improved player in the 2011-12 season, and fi nished with 27 points in 36 games with the junior B club.

Jeremy Chadsey is an-other player who showed well at the Oil Kings’ train-ing camp. Chadsey has the combination of size, grit and skill. The sxi-foot-one, 230-pound native of Chilliwack, B.C., includes an important physical ele-ment to his game.

As a member of the Quesnel Millionaires of the British Columbia Ju-nior Hockey League a de-cade ago, Chadsey racked up 183 penalty minutes, while also contributing 41 points in 57 games.

The powerful winger, now 29, also suited up in the ECHL, CHL and UHL. Chadsey’s style of play could make him a popular player in Big Valley.

The Oil Kings continue to prepare for their season-opener on Sunday, Oct. 28, in Tofi eld.

Check out the Oil Kings on Facebook (Big Valley Oil Kings Hockey) for team news, updates and photos. Fans can also fol-low the Oil Kings on Twit-ter (@BVOilKings).

JOHN MACNEILIndependent editor

The Stettler Wildcats dusted off the Camrose Trojans 39-3 at home last Thursday to finish the Central Alberta High School Footbal l League regular season with a per-fect 6-0 record befitting their No. 1 ranking provincially.

The Wildcats, provincial Tier 3 champions in 2011, begin their next playoff journey at 4 p.m. Friday in Stettler in league quarter-final action against the Lacombe Rams.

Stettler defeated Lacombe 17-0 in season-opening action Sept. 6 at the William E. Hay Composite High School field.

The Rams and Sylvan Lake Lakers were the Wildcats’ two wildcard opponents this season, with Stettler placed in a pool with Camrose, Ponoka, Wetaskiwn and West Central (Rocky Mountain House).

The new format this season deprived the Wildcats’ of their

traditionally tough Red Deer oppo-nents, but the Stettler kids passed a test of another sort this fall.

“Definitely, to go 6-0 in the reg-ular season, it’s good,” Wildcats coach Norbert Baharally said after Monday’s practice. “I think every-body would agree that the compe-tition in this pool maybe wasn’t the best throughout the league, but at the same time, we did it with a team that was banged up through-out most of the year.

“And I’d like to believe now that when we get into playoffs here, that we’re going to have all our horses back and everybody is ready to go.”

Some of the all-star Wildcats battled injuries for much of theregular season.

Senior quar terback Morgan Loshny, out since Game 1 with a knee injury, dressed for last week’s game, but didn’t see any action.

“We’re hoping that we’ll get him back on a limited basis on Friday,” Baharally said of Loshny.

“Braden Nelson injured his ankle last game against Camrose. We’re

hoping he’s a game-day decision, and be ready to go.

“Darren Gendre ended up get-ting hit and injured that same game. He’s going to the doctors (Tuesday), so hopefully we’ll get clearance from him that he might be able to go.”

Likewise for senior slotback Austin Cherewko, whose injury kept him sidelined last week. He dressed for the game, but other-wise took the week off to nurse an irritated tendon. He’s banking on a return to action for Friday’s play-off-opener.

Despite the season-long string of injuries, the Wildcats maintained their top ranking among Tier 3 schools in Alberta, and kept pace with high expectations that carried over from last season.

“I think we’re doing pret ty good,” Cherewko said.

“So far, so good. We went 6-0, so that’s a good thing.

“But, yeah, I think we’re living up to our expecta-tions,” Cherewko said. “We just have to follow through from what everyone thinks we can do, and believe that we can do what we can do. Because I believe we’re a good team, and the coaches believe we’re a good team, and our community believes we’re a good team.

“So I think if we take all that believing and put it into action, we can do a lot of damage.”

Cherewko said that even with a 6-0 record, theWildcats faced credible tests from Sylvan Lake and Lacombe.

“Those are the toughest teams we’ve played so far, and I think we came out of it pretty good.

“Some of our major players were (out with inju-ries), so I think our rookies and our backups did really good. Them stepping up was a huge factor.

“Now, the more people, the merrier. I think players coming back will be a good thing, and the rookies that have played against other teams can actually know how to play, and got some experience.”

Gendre, one of Stettler’s gritty sophomores, was shaken up during last week’s game.

“I think he got tack-led,” Baharally said. “They grabbed him by the face-mask or the helmet and kind of twisted his neck on the way down.

“Obviously, with a head and neck injury, you want to be as cautious as pos-sible, and that’s what our training staff did. They stabilized and immobilized everything and then called paramedics to make sure nothing was serious.”

The Wildcats have given teams serious competition all season, even with the likes of Loshny, Nelson and Ty Page missing for parts of the schedule.

Baharally cautioned that both Stettler and Lacombe will likely fi eld stronger teams this week than when they fi rst faced each other about six weeks ago.

“Both teams, obvi-ously, weren’t polished at that time of year,” he said Monday night. “We just saw some fi lm on Lacombe here tonight, from their game (a 45-35 loss to the Notre Dame Cougars) on Friday. They’ve improved. They have a pretty decent passing attack, with Austin Ericson (at quarterback). I’m familiar with him from Shock (midget) football. So it’ll be an interesting test for us.

“I still maintain that we have the best front seven. Teams are going to have a hard time running the ball against our front seven, but if were susceptible to any kind of thing, giving up a big play on defence, it would be a big ball and a big pass over our heads.”

SCOREBOARD: In the Wildcats’ rout of Camrose last week, Nelson scored two touchdowns, while rushing for 111 yards on six carries. Mark Forrester and the Cassidy cousins — Parker and Thomas — each had one touchdown. Rook-ie kicker Frank van Omme-ren added fi ve converts, a fi eld goal and a single. Ty-ler Stewart had 103 yards rushing on 12 carries, while Parker Cassidy gained 53 yards on two tries.

PLAYOFF MATCH-UPS: Along with the Stettler-Lacombe matchup, other quarter-fi nal games pit Hunting Hills against Cam-rose, Notre Dame against West Central and Sylvan Lake against Wetaskiwin.

STETTLER, ALBERTA

By Rachelle CampeauWildcats JV girls’ coach

The Wildcat JV girls from William E. Hay Composite High School in Stettler travelled to Calgary to compete in the Rundle College Academy’s Cobra Clas-sic this past weekend. The Stettler girls put in more than 15 hours of tournament play Saturday and came out as the gold-medal champions.

Teams in the tournament were mostly from Calgary (including CCS, Rundle, Holy Rosary and St. Martin), as well as surrounding areas (Didsbury, Cochrane and Oilfields).

The Wildcats’ round-robin play be-gan at 8:45 a.m., starting with a difficult game against Cochrane. The girls split the two games played, winning 25-18 and then falling 25-19.

The Wildcats then moved on to play Holy Rosary, and with spectacular net plays from Olivia Zuk, Morgan VanDus-en and Dacia Gramlick, Stettler proved to be a force to be reckoned with. The girls won both games of the set — 25-21 and 25-15, ending the second game with a direct hard hit from Tyra Ganser.

The last two games in round-robin play were against Oilfields. The Wild-cats scored wins of 25-10 and 25-13.

At the end of round-robin play, the Stettler girls were ranked first in their pool with five wins and only one loss. That allowed them to play the fourth-place team, the Didsbury Dragons, in the opposing pool in the quarter-final round.

Didsbury came out ready to play, but was no match for the Wildcats, whodefeated the Dragons in two games — 25-10 and 25-17.

Moving onto the semifinals, the Stettler girls once again faced Holy Ro-sary, which had created an upset by de-feating the Rundle in the quarter-finals. Holy Rosary showed to be an entirely new team when compared to the one seen previously. The Wildcats fought hard, but lost the first match 20-25. In the second match, quick coverage by Jes-sica Nelson and Brook Clark countered the hard hits dealt by Holy Rosary.

Libero Ryah Auton made all thedifference for Stettler, sacrificing body

for ball, picking up anything and every-thing that was dished to the back court, allowing power players Dacia Gramlick and Bailey Steinhoff, as well as middle players Morgan VanDusen and Katie Monaghan, to return hard hits back at the opposition.

The Wildcats defeated Holy Rosary in the second match 25-23, resulting in a third and final game to determine the winner of the set. Both teams played amazing, resulting in long and difficult rallies where often players found them-selves hitting the ground in order to get the ball back up for a play. The Wildcats squeezed out the win with a final score of 16-14, moving them onto the final.

In the final, the Wildcats once again faced Cochrane. Already late into the day due to close matches delaying schedule times, the girls walked onto the court at 9:30 p.m., bruised and tired but excited and ready to play.

In the first match, the Stettler girls got an early lead, with Cochrane finding it difficult to receive the hard serves from Katie Monaghan, and took the first match 25-17.

In the second match, Cochrane picked up its game and after a tight race to the end, beat the Wildcats 25-21.

Once again, a third match was need-ed to determine the winner. In the third match, blocks by Morgan VanDusen and Katie Monaghan, the agility and hitting talents of Dacia Gramlick and Baily Steinhoff, and the quick coverage from Nikyta Lachowsky and Brook Clark, made all the difference, with the game ending 15-11 in favour of the Wildcats.

Stettler coach Rachelle Campeau and assistant coach Alicia Kneeland are ex-tremely proud of the girls’ accomplish-ments thus far.

“They have improved beyond our ex-pectations in a very short time and con-tinue to impress us with their growth as individual players as well as, as a team,” Campeau said.

The Wildcats are next scheduled to travel to Red Deer on Oct. 25 to play Hunting Hills and H.J. Cody in a league interlock. They then leave for Ardrossan on Oct. 26 for another tournament.

The Stettler Wildcats se-nior girls’ volleyball team had a tough week in league and tournament action.

The Wildcats hosted their annual high school tournament Friday and Sat-urday, but they didn’t fare well in pool play or in the playoffs.

In round-robin action, Stettler lost to Camrose (25-20, 25-16) and Para-dise Valley (25-12, 25-20), but managed a win against Wainwright (26-24, 26-24).

That left the Wildcats

in third place in their pool, with 11 point.

In the consolation semi-fi nals, the Wildcats came up fl at and lost two games to Provost Catholic, which had placed fourth in the other pool.

This week, the Wildcats have a bye in their league schedule. They’re back on the court next Tuesday in Lacombe, where they will play Central Alberta Chris-tian High School.

In league action last Tuesday, the Wildcats lost in

three straight games to the visiting Lacombe Rams.

“The Rams are a very talented team with sev-eral club players that don’t make many mistakes,” said Stettler coach Warren As-penes. “The ’Cats contin-ued to improve in devel-oping their attack, but just came away with too many unforced errors to compete with the Rams.”

The Wildcats’ player of the game in last week’s match against Lacombe wasClaire Aspenes.

Autumn is the season when pumpkins are ripe for the picking, and thou-sands of people fl ock to local farms and road-side vendors to select perfect pumpkins. Many pumpkins are turned into decorative jack-o’-lanterns for Halloween, only to be tossed in the trash come Nov. 1. That could be because many people are unaware of the various ways they can put pumpkins to good use.

Pumpkins are gourds and members of the squash family and have been grown and used for thousands of years. Evidence suggests that pumpkins date back to 7000 BC, possibly origi-nating in Mexico. Today they are widely used for decorating around Hal-loween, but there are many other things that can be done with pump-kins.

* Create a food ves-sel. Pumpkins can be transformed into bowls to hold soup, punch, fruit, or even dips. Make sure the pumpkin has been cleaned well of its pulp and seeds, as well as the stringy fl esh that is inside. Rub the inside walls of the pumpkin with oil to keep them from drying out and cav-ing in, then fi ll with your food of choice.

* Make pumpkin pu-ree. Puree from a pump-kin can be used in all types of recipes, from soups to baked goods.

The puree also can re-place the oil in cake rec-ipes. Cut the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and stringy membranes. Then place it cut-side-down in a pan with a little water in the bottom. Bake at 350 F for around 90 minutes. The fl esh will become tender and eas-ily removable. Blend the resulting puree in a food processor and reserve fl esh for recipes. Some pumpkins are sweeter or better to use as part of recipes. Check the vari-ety you’re purchasing.

* Whip up a facial. Use some pumpkin pu-ree with a little brown sugar and a dash of milk to create a vitamin-rich facial mask.

* Get illuminated. Turn hollowed-out mini pumpkins into candles. Melt soy wax, beeswax or the gel type of candle wax that can be found at most craft stores. Add your favorite scent and place a wick into the bottom of the pumpkin. Then pour the wax into hallowed-out space and allow it to harden. Try the same thing with bumpy and multi-colored gourds for added decorating ap-peal.

* Turn the pumpkin into a fl ower pot. Fill a hollow pumpkin with soil. You may not have to worry about scraping the pumpkin completely clean because the pulp can be used to help fertilize the potting soil. Plant your favorite fall

fl owers into the festive and earth-friendly fl ower pot. When the pumpkin shows signs of rotting, simply put the whole thing into a traditional fl ower pot or bury it di-rectly in the ground.

* Make pumpkin stock. While vegetable or meat-based stocks may be the standards, pumpkin can be used to make stock as well. Clean out the seeds from the stringy guts of the pumpkin and put the guts into a pot fi lled with water. Add celery, carrots or any other aro-matic vegetables for ex-tra fl avor. Allow to boil for

at least 30 minutes. The stock is ready when it begins to change color. Strain and reserve the stock for use in a variety of recipes.

* Add to compost bins. Pumpkins are rich in zinc, vitamin A and vita-

min C, among other nu-trients. You can add the discarded pumpkins to your backyard compost bins to further replenish the soil.

* Turn into a billowing cauldron. Instead of a standard jack-o’-lantern,

put a glass jar into the carved pumpkin, add dish soap and hot wa-ter to the jar and then put in a piece of dry ice. Bubbles and smoke will pour out of the pumpkin to create a spooktacular effect.
