our extracurricular programs and fostering and building relationship with students and staff will benefit. She will fit right in.” Syson joins Myranda Shepherd as one of the high school’s two vice-prinicpals. Shepherd said the high school has “had a two-vice-principal model forever — and sometimes three.” She said when there are multiple viceprincipals, they each spend time in the classroom. After the retirement of vice-principal Gordon Moorlag last year, Shepherd and Baharally each assumed expanded roles. This year, Shepherd has been a full-time vice-principal.

Syson welcomed her new challenge. “I am looking forward to my new role as vice-principal and thrilled to be working with the staff, students and parents of William E. Hay Composite High School,” she said. “I am very excited to be back in Stettler.” Syson began her teaching career in 2006 at Clive School.

About 30 cancer survivors brave the rain in the Victory Lap in the Relay for Life last Friday night at the William E. Hay Composite High School track in Stettler.
Relay for Life battles cancer ... and rain RICHARD FROESE Independent reporter Despite a wet start, the fifth annual Relay for Life in Stettler dried up and netted just under $50,000 last Friday night at William E. Hay Composite High School track. “We raised about $49,000,” said Trish King, co-ordinator of the local event and revenue development co-ordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society in Red Deer. “That’s awesome. “We had 101 participants and about 30 in the survivors’ lap.” More than 750 illunaries were lit in a ceremony at dusk in memory of loved ones who lost their battle with cancer.
With support declining since the first event attracted 49 teams and raised more than $170,000, organizers plan to reschedule the local fundraiser in September, starting next year. Local civic leaders urged the participants as they spoke during opening ceremonies in the rain. “I commend the people for organizing this event and I encourage you to make it as much fun,” said County of Stettler Reeve Wayne Nixon. Words were also given from the Town of Stettler. “Don’t let the rain discourage you,” said Coun. Peter Simons, who described the fight to battle cancer as courageous. “It’s relentless and unforgiving and requires perseverance and courage, and that’s why we’re all here.” A cancer survivor and former local relay co-ordinator shared here experience in the fight. “I know you know you’re

strength to keep going and keep fighting.” During the opening ceremonies, participants were urged to fight together. “We relay because we want to put and end to cancer — a disease that has touched all of our lives
in some way,” said Lynn Sabo, who co-chaired the local committee. “We relay because we know that we can change cancer forever. That’s the power of relay. “Our community has joined the fight.”
Last year, the event netted $130,239.07 with 28 teams, and $163,000 was raised in 2011. Others on the Stettler committee included Crystal Schierman, Dorothy Hebert, Kevin Sabo and Murray Wahlund.

Stettler car buffs show off classic vehicles from past RICHARD FROESE
We are so proud of our community who came out and supported our Animal Haven Rescue group last Saturday with our 2nd Pack a Pick up event. Bernie at Well’s Furniture was so generous to let us use her truck and take up two of her precious parking spots to set up our event. We are proud to say we filled the bed of the truck with items of food, dishes, toys and supplies for our animals. We also had money donations of $300. Our volunteers and our Board at Animal Haven thanks everyone for their continued support and loyalty. rescue league
Independent reporter Skies cleared in time for car buffs during the annual show and shine last Saturday hosted by Stettler Car Club. “The diehard usually brave that kind of weather,” said Randy Long, the club president and the event coordinator. As vehicles continued to arrived as the weather warmed up, about 80 lined the parking lot at Stettler Town Mall, travelling from as far away as Red Deer, Athabasca, Grande Prairie and Alabama. “As long as it’s not wet, we’re
happy,” Long said. Two local men, including Barry Hamer of Red Willow, participated. Hamer showed off his 1953 Chevrolet Belair. “It was a seven-year project to re-build it,” said Hamer, who noted that it was just a pile of junk when he found it. “I got parts from four provinces and five states.” It’s a unique vehicle for Chevrolet collectors. “They’re kind of rare, because everyone usually wants models from 1955 to ’57 and I wanted a 1953,” Hamer said. “I wanted something a little different.”
A 1954 Nash Metropolitan and 1935 International truck were showcased by Dave McCourt of Stettler. “We went down to Kentucky to get the truck,” McCourt said. “I do my own body work and painting.” He also has 1965 and 1966 Ford Mustangs and two other old International trucks. After the show, drivers cruised out to Big Valley for dinner and more fellowship. Awards were also presented for various classes, though the winners’ names weren’t made public. Up next, the club stages its annual Shoot-Out at Stettler Airport on July 20 and 21.

A Bashaw father was sentenced in provincial court last week for making death threats to a child- intervention social worker. Jay Robert Jones, 43, was fined $500 and placed on probation for 12 months by Judge Gordon Deck in Stettler Provincial Court last Thursday. “What concerns me is that he said counselling hasn’t helped him and it’s a waste of time,” Judge Deck said after he read the presentence report on Jones.
The accused, however, changed his mind in responding to the judge last week in court. “I am willing to continue with counselling,” Jones said. During his probation, Jones is required to take counselling and treatment to deal with his anger, and he’s prohibited from possessing firearms and other weapons for five years. The court also learned from his lawyer that Jones has been participating in psycho-therapy for two years. Among others sentenced last week were: — Joshua Harry Wilson was
fined $270 for failing to report damage to the owner in a motorvehicle collision after the vehicle struck two concrete poles owned by the Town of Stettler last July 12, and $115 for failing to appear in court. Although damage was estimated between $500 and $1,000, the town didn’t request restitution, court learned. — Stephen J. Lachance, 24, of Stettler was fined $200 for possession of a controlled substance when police found 26 grams of marijuana in his vehicle on March 3, and fined $115 for failing to appear in court.

Two views on jobs and the economy
1906 ❤ 2013 Established 1906 The leading weekly newspaper of Central Alberta Dedicated to the advancement of the well-being and the preservation of the heritage of our community, which includes Stettler and the County of Stettler.
By David Crane Black Press columnist One economic view is that Canada weathered the financial crisis better than any other G-7 country, and that we have more jobs today than before the financial crisis. In other words, we’re doing reasonably well. The other view is that while we have more jobs than before the crisis, the quality of jobs has declined, pay and benefits have fallen for many workers, close to one million workers are stuck in part-time jobs because they cannot find fulltime jobs and young Canadians are facing tough times in finding decent entry-level jobs that will set them on a trajectory for promising careers. Both views are true. But the first one leads to complacency and inaction in pursuing decent jobs for all, while the one that should really concern us is what is happening to the quality of jobs and the impact this is having on the living standards of many ordinary Canadians. Between April 2007, before the financial crisis hit, and April, 2013, Canada lost nearly 320,000 manufacturing jobs and the number of people working in part-time jobs rather than the full-time jobs they wanted totalled 924,400, or 256,200 more than in April, 2007. This does not fully account for all those Canadians working in temporary, contract jobs. What we do know is that too many Canadians are leading insecure lives, unable to build a real stake in society. Much of the job growth since 2007 has come in the public sector ñ an increase of 128,00 jobs in education, 354,000 in health and social services and 139,000 in public administration ñ or in highend occupations in professional, scientific and technical services (up by 254,000 jobs). But for Canadians in middle-level jobs, or lower, the news has not been good. In its latest World of Work report, the International Labour Organization calculated that in Canada the share of the middle-income group (defined as those earning between 70 and 150 per cent of median income as a share of the total population) had declined from just over 50 per cent at the start of the 1990s to a bit over 45 per cent in 2009. There has certainly been a downward pressure on wages for many workers, though not top executives in major corporations who may earn more in a day than some workers will earn in a year. In contract agreements with the Detroit Three auto companies, for example, the Canadian Auto Workers had to agree to a 17 per cent pay cut for starting workers compared to their previous contract and to a slower path to the top rate, from 6 years before to 10 years in the new contract, as well as other cutbacks in pensions and other benefits. In Ontario, workers at the very bottom of the pay scale, those earning just the minimum wage, have had their pay frozen since 2010, and Ontarioís recent budget extends that freeze further. This will make inequality worse and keep too many families close to the poverty line. Public policy matters since income distribution and job creation resulting from the impacts of globalization and technological change can be affected by labour market legislation and fiscal, tax, trade and education policies, the ILO says. Canada has done some of the things the ILO urges, such as increasing the incentive for businesses to invest by allowing a fast write-off of new investments. Canada has also expanded its support for innovative small and mid-size companies by doubling the budget for the Industrial Research Assistance Programme, which provides grants for companies pursuing new products or processes. While these efforts are delivering results, too many corporations are still sitting on record-level cash reserves. But the haste to balance the federal budget works against employment prospects. For example, there are significant infrastructure needs across the country that should be met and which could generate good jobs. But the federal government has adopted a go-slow approach for the next several years because balancing the budget is a higher priority. One of our goals as a society should be to pursue decent jobs and greater equity. Contrary to the views held by some, this does not come at the expense of productivity or economic growth. Rather, done the right way, it can contribute to both. A commitment to a fair and decent society should surely be a goal shared by all Canadians. Today, though, that doesn’t seem to be a national priority.

Making a case for fathers I spoke on Mother’s Day one year and said that men occasionally strike terror into the hearts of their wives with their schemes and dreams. I noticed several wives amicably poking their husbands in the ribs and the husbands looking a little embarrassed. In that same year, when Father’s Day came, I suggested that men often feel used, unappreciated and at times consider themselves to be little more than a walking chequebook from which family members tear off a cheque and then go merrily on their way. This time, I didn’t see anyone getting ribbed, but I did notice several men nodding in agreement and some of them had tears in their eyes. I’ve no intention of throwing a pity party for fathers … but there are a few things I’d like to mention. For example, last year in the U.S., $14.6 billion was spent on Mother’s Day, compared to $9.4 billion for Father’s Day. Incidentally, that’s forgivable because dads often say, “Don’t waste your money on me,” and they actually mean it. (I’d suggest not taking that statement too literally from the gentler gender). Have you noticed there are far more inspirational and touching stories about selfless, sacrificial mothers, than there are about fathers? And though I’m a father, I admit that I submitted my Mother’s Day column four days before Mother’s Day; this one will come out three days late for Father’s Day! Is this because there are no selfless, loving fathers out there? I’m certain this isn’t so. What about the Bible? Surely, it treats moms and dads with fairness. Well ... there are verses that address both moms and dads. Proverbs 1:8 says, “Hear ... your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s

Apparently, being a father is not all peaches and cream! With a proactive look to the future rather than a retroactive glance to three days ago, let me share a couple of dramatically condensed biblical admonitions for family members that might help dads. Wives are to, “love their husbands ...” 1 Timothy 5:14. And children, choose wisely as, “The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly, and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him.” (Proverbs 23:24) Moreover, don’t reject discipline because “... the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” (Proverbs 3:11) Of course, there’s no substitute for obedience. Ephesians 6:1 says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour your father ...” By the way, dads … happy belated Father’s Day!

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT COMMENTARY
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Fear of political fallout hangs in health balance “It’s a bit of a legal mess at the moment,” was how Health Minister Fred Horne described the aftermath of his decision to fire the entire AHS superboard last Wednesday morning. Unfortunately, that legal mess won’t be cleared up anytime soon and it comes with a hefty price tag. The legal mess referred to by the health minister is due to the contractual obligations past and present in outstanding bonuses that were overlooked before the decision to fire the board was made. The Alberta Health Services board and board chair
Stephen Lockwood defied the order from the minister to stop bonuses of up to $3.2 million to be paid to 99 AHS executives as stipulated in their contracts for the 201213 year. Lockwood and his board had already removed bonuses from some 500 AHS staff last year. The coming fiscal year will see all bonuses end entirely. Some, including yours truly, would call that progress. In February, Lockwood and the board gave their word to the 99 remaining top executives that they would receive their pay at risk if they met their performance targets for the fiscal year
From the Legislature MLA Report by Rick Strankman that recently came to an end. When Wildrose health critic Heather Forsyth pressed him, Horne said he wouldn’t interfere. He repeated that message in March. Incredibly, Lockwood and the rest of the AHS board have been fired for keeping their word and for refusing to break a contract. The directive from the
minister has also answered the question of just how autonomous the AHS board is, in reality. Repeated claims by the minister that AHS makes its own decisions and that the government doesn’t direct AHS, has obviously been put to rest with what took place last week. Lockwood weighed in, saying, “The government doesn’t
publicly need to admit that the AHS board is not independent. Their actions speak much louder than their words.” This continued politicization of AHS decision-making has become not only non-productive, but also expensive financially. Danielle Smith, leader of the Official Opposition Wildrose, repeated her solution, as she has done several times in the Legislature, to: “Go back to local decisionmaking, empower local administrators to work with local staff so they can deliver the best patient care, because the centralized model of delivering health care —
it just isn’t working.” Replacing the board will be Janet Davidson, who will be paid $580,000. Comparatively, the 10-member board earned $699,000 in honorariums in 2011-12. It appears that the firings by Horne were a reaction to the fear of political fallout over the bonuses that were about to be paid. The decision to eliminate the superboard was long overdue and is a step in the right direction. However, it must be coupled with going back to regional boards and local decision-making, or the whole expensive exercise will have been in vain.
Added cost of marketing cattle symbolic of declining industry Most growers either in crop or livestock production are painfully aware of those annoying deductions that appear on statements accompanying their cheques. Many are just the cost of doing business like checkoff, insurance fees, inspections, transportation and so on. You can try to reduce those deductions through various creative means, but there are other somewhat invisible costs that are taking a big chunk out of the producers pocket. The situation is most prevalent in the cattle industry and it’s becoming an economic issue. I refer to the added cost of marketing cattle throughout the chain. Unlike the hog industry, where marketing arrangements have become direct — that is, primary producer to packer — much of the cattle industry is still marketing through multiple hoops, just like it did 100 years ago. There is nothing really wrong with that marketing approach ... it’s just that it adds a cost of $50 to $100 to a finished steer. In a world of tight margins, that really hurts — especially at the beginning of the chain. How that figure can be reduced is the big question, and industry analysts have been ruminating on it for years. The situation is this — cow/calf producers generally sell their calves through auction markets,
where they are purchased by order buyers or dealers. Those folks then send them off to clients or other markets on speculation. Everyone involved in that takes a piece of the action. Subsequently, many of those same cattle will sooner or later go through the same process, incurring more costs. Sometimes, feeder cattle are moved multiple times through speculative channels. Whilst all of that goes on, inspection fees, checkoffs and shrink take their toll on returns. That situation is nothing new to the industry and many folks have tried to mitigate those costs. Direct to feedlot sales occur, Internet sales are becoming more popular and, of course, retained ownership is an option. In every case, producers are trying to reduce or capture those transaction costs. But each of those avenues has its own costs, be it weighing fees, sales fees and, of course, risk. One hears of producers trying different marketing angles but finding that each has its own problems. In the end, producers in many cases are finding that convenience
is worth a price. Those making their living in the cattle marketing business are doing nothing wrong. They are merely providing a service to willing customers. No one is forcing cattle producers to sell their livestock through auction markets, order buyers or dealers. Cattlemen do complain about their profits being sliced off by middlemen, but that’s an old argument — producers have choices. The feedlot industry long ago stopped selling cattle through auction markets. The big dogs sell direct to packers and smaller operators sometimes sell through co-op type consolidation marketers. Cow/calf operators have sometimes banded together to offer large lots for sale, but that’s the exception, most still sell through local auction markets. One can assume that regardless of the cost, the system is working. But one ponders for how long. The entire cattle and beef industry depends on the cow/calf operator staying in business. If the system is seeing costs of up to $100 per head or
more being taken out of the process, one can assume that a good chunk of that is being taken out of the primary producers hide one way or another. I cite as an example many up the chain benefit from national ID tags, traceability and age verification, but it’s the producer at the bottom that has to pay the price. The same can be said for all the multiple transaction and transportation costs that occur up the line, the primary producer pays for that with a lower price sooner or later. Maybe a good chunk of those compulsory costs need to be added to the retailers bill upon purchase of the beef — just an idea. The point is not to blame the various players in the market ... they are doing a good service or are taking on risk. The point is that a lifetime marketing cost of $100 or more per head could be the difference in keeping a cow/calf operator in business. We’re seeing the Alberta cowherd seriously declining and more producers are exiting the business. There’s a message there that those in the marketing business and others need to pay attention to. Sure, there are many other extenuating circumstances in the decline and marketing costs are just one. But there needs to be a better handle on how those particular costs need to be mitigated before it’s too late.

Froese ’n Time By Richard Froese Independent reporter
not so saturated. Then, this year, another group scheduled another fundraiser in June, which some people believe might have cut into another major fundraiser this month. Many of the community events deserve coverage, but with so many activities on the same week or weekend, some will have to settle for a lower profile. If you want strong community support, schedule your event when that’s the only show in town. Father’s Day weekend seems to be the big weekend of all. Last weekend, I alone covered two events in Stettler and one in Alix. It’s not just local communities with full calendars ... it’s almost an epidemic in central Alberta.
Throughout the central region last weekend alone, people could have gone to five or six show and shines and just as many community parades. When mayors are invited to those parades, some communities will have to settle for councillors. With so many events, it seems pretty difficult to attend and support them all. If organizations question where all the people and support is, definitely pick another weekend, and probably another month. It really makes a person wonder why these towns and community organizations can’t work together to prevent this problem of feast and famine. Earlier this year, groups in Bashaw initiated a concept where presidents meet early in the year to schedule events for the year to ensure events co-operate and not compete with each other. Afterward, the events were evenly planned for throughout the year. That strategy is proving to be effective in Bashaw, so it should work here in Stettler and other central Alberta communities.

Feast or famine for fundraisers, fun in crowded central Alberta market June has certainly been a busy month for fundraisers and community events — again. Feast or famine. Every year, it seems that this month is the busiest for events, which is actually hurting each other. After four strong years of support, why did the Relay for Life cancer fundraiser take a big hit this year? Are too many fundraisers and events within a few weeks in a month thinning out volunteers and wearing out the chequebook? Starting next year, the Canadian Cancer Society will schedule Relay for Life to September, when the calendar has just a fraction of events that June has. Why do organizations seem to plan so many activities in June that people will likely pick and choose where they go. Then comes July, with seemingly no activities and many people twiddling their thumbs and saying there’s nothing to do. Could these spring events be scheduled in a month other than June so that the community is

County council increases rural densities in MDP Bank said last week. Updated, the MDP also owners to increase the density in the agricultural district from two private titles per quarter section to three private titles per quarter section. “This means that each quarter section in the county could have two parcels subdivided out of the remainder of the quarter section while all three titles remain in the agricultural district and rezoning is not required,” van der Bank said. Now the plan allows any subdivision that proposes the fourth and additional private titles out of a quarter section as a multi-lot subdivision that must follow the rules for multi-lot subdivision. As well, the bylaw changes the definition of a farmstead subdivision so that the setback distances required for private sewage disposal

Seeking to encourage more development, County of Stettler will now enable property owners to add housing with changes in the municipal development plan. Following a quiet public hearing at its monthly meeting in June, county council adopted changes to the MDP and land-use bylaw. “We’re just changing density on a quarter section with other minor changes,” stated Johan van der bank, the county’s director of planning and development. After consultation with property owners, the county received no responses for either bylaw, he said. “People seem to support the changes in the bylaws,” van der
systems from property boundaries are not included. Under the land-use bylaw, several parcels of land were rezoned to public service district. “This change was prompted based on several phone calls from adjacent property owners where it became evident that the public service district was specifically created to accommodate land held by government and not-for-profit organizations and accommodate recreational used in the same manner as the recreation facility district, and people seemed to be less concerned with the public service district than with the recreation facility district,” van der Bank said. For confined feeding operations, the policies in the plan align with the provincial Agricultural Operation Practices Act, he said.

A bridge in the Donalda area will be back on the road with major repairs this summer. At its monthly June meeting, County of Stettler council awarded a tender to Bridgemen Services Ltd. of Didsbury to upgrade the Donalda bridge on Range Road 18-5 about one mile north of the village with a cost of $435,313. “We received only one bid,” chief administrative officer Tim Fox said. Council added $20,000 for contingency funding for the project. “It’s a simple project, with new piles and new girders,” said Rick Green, director of engineering for the county. After permits to work around waterways have been approved by the provincial government, he expects work
to start around Aug. 30. “We anticipate a 12-day bridge closure for repairs and final completion by Sept. 15,” said Joel Wozny of the contract company. Council committed to pay for half the cost to complete dust control on Township Road 37-4 east of Highway 56 in front of Linda Hall, as Linda Hall society requested a free service. County administration estimated the full cost at $1,336.55 for a 200-meter application of calcium chloride. While the society wrote that this would enhance use of the hall, one councillor suggest the society warn some of the area users slow down. “Most of the dust is caused by ball players who roar up and donw the road, they should monitor that,” Councillor Terry Schiffner said. Council discussed plans to process to construct a

Council updated the county’s policy to construct roads where applicants have the option for cost sharing or authorize the county to construct the road with its equipment. “It’s not a cost to the county and it will benefit the county,” Fox said. Council was informed that the provincial Basic Municipal Transportation Grant will generate $625,925 for road improvements while the Federal Gas Tax Fund will add $290,688.

Traditional horse-wagon rides were part of the fun Saturday as Alix hosted Come Walk Among Us historial tours throughout the community. The hotel provided a fitting backdrop.
Alix was in the historical spotlight to promote its rich history as the community welcomed residents and visitors to Come Walk Among Us last Saturday. “What a wonderful day and experience to learn local history, one man told me, “said Donna Peterson, president of A l i x Wa g o n W h e e l Museum, which co-hosted the event in partnership with Boomtown Trail tourism association. “We had lots of comments and emails from people who said they had a wonderful time. “It was a great opportunity to showcase our history.” With the success of the event, organizers intend to plan for next year and likely combine it with another annual community event, she said. Old-fashioned churning butter and ice cream making at the museum were big hits for the younger generation. “Kids loved to help turn the crank on the old churn,” Peterson said. Wa l k i n g t o u r s w i t h characters of the past, home-made pies, arts and music, a polo game, Metis culture, horsedrawn wagon rides and a few vehicles in a showand-shine highlighted the day. History came to life through the eyes of Irene Pa r l b y o f t h e Fa m o u s Five as local MLA for Lacombe riding from 1921 to 1935 and first women in Alberta cabinet and among the founders of the first women’s local of the United Farmers of Alberta. “It’s good to have the M e t i s p r e s e n c e ,” s a i d Marlene Lanz, regional president of the Metis Nation of Alberta. “Metis has a long history history that dates back to the mid-1880s at Tail Creek, Boss Hill and Big Valley.” “We got a lot of people interested in our history.” Started in Bashaw last year, Boomtown Trail has a passion to continue the historical journey in central Alberta. “We want every town FOR MORE to do this event annually GREAT OFFERS and organize it on their own,” said Ken Duncan, the executive-director. “These types of events help bring the community together, and to share memories. This is about building community.”

Rodeo king named parade marshal for Stettler stampede LES STULBERG Independent reporter The Stettler Steel Wheel Stampede parade has landed one of the biggest names in the rodeo world as its parade marshal. Stettler native Winston Bruce will lead the parade that kicks off the stampede, said Stacey Benjamin, the manager of the Stettler Regional Board of Trade and Community Development. The parade is scheduled for Aug. 30 at 5 p.m., on the eve of the Steel Wheel Stampede, which runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. “I am honoured to be asked,” Bruce said last week. “I have always considered the Stettler area to be home.” The name Winston Bruce is synonymous with the Calgary Stampede. The former world saddle bronc champion had a 33-year career with the Calgary Stampede as arena director, rodeo manager and manager of the breeding stock program. Bruce was born in Stettler and his roots run deep in the Stettler community. He said he grew up in the DonaldaGadsby area on a farm — not far from the Battle River — that his grandparents homesteaded in the 1900 range. Bruce attended a one-room school-
house called Willow Park. He said his father, Laurence Bruce, was instrumental in organizing some of the early rodeos at Stettler. “I entered my first rodeo at Stettler,” Bruce said. “I cut my eye-teeth on rodeo at Stettler and rode lots of broncs in the Stettler arena.” Bruce said he gets nostalgic when he visits Stettler. “I get a good warm feeling when I drive by the Stettler grandstand — it’s the same one that was there when I competed.” Bruce said his family later moved across the Battle River to the HeislerForestburg district; leaving the area in 1957. He said he still has cousins living in the Stettler area — the Cassidys. The decorated world saddle bronc champion was named “cowboy of the year” in 2005, and he has been inducted into both the Pro Rodeo and Canadian Rodeo associations’ Hall of Fame. Norma Rairdan, chair of the parade committee, said she knew Bruce in his younger days when he would come to Stettler. She was pleased Bruce accepted the position of parade marshal. “I never thought we would get him,” she said. Although Bruce is retired, he’s far from idle. He operates his own counselling
business and is writing three books. He didn’t reveal his age. “I don’t count years,” he said. “I count moments of life. “When the day is over, it’s over and I look forward to tomorrow. I guess you could say I’m a dreamer.” Benjamin said the theme of this year’s parade is “A Year of Celebration.” It will recognize the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada, the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Cowboy Association and the fifth anniversary of the Stettler Steel Wheel Stampede. Rodeo and 4-H have both had a strong presence at Stettler and organizers hope the community will embrace the theme with ample entries. Benjamin said parade entries are being accepted now by calling 403742-3181. Parade applications are available at stettlerboardoftrade.com. The Labour Day weekend is a new date for the Steel Wheel Stampede. Benjamin said the committee wanted to move it off the third weekend of August, which is the same weekend as the Byemoor Fair and slo-pitch tournament. She said there are still a lot of summer activities going on then. Benjamin is optimistic about this year’s edition of the stampede. “It’s going to be exciting this year. The stampede committee is trying a few new things.”

Royal Lepage Central celebrates the company’s centennial, though the Stettler real estate agent has been under the banner for just 14 years. “We’ve been Royal Lepage since 1999 when the company bought Realty World,” said Apryl Cassidy, who owns the local company with Jill Fisher and Doug Roberts. Back in 1999, Garry and Janey Rushton, Brian and Susan Lynn and Edna Stuart owned the business at the same downtown corner today that was first housed in a former Shell service station before the current office was built around 2001. Stuart said the business actually has roots with Blair Realty, which dates back to the 1960s. “Royal Lepage Central is one of the largest real estate offices in Stettler,” Cassidy said, proud to be the top listing and selling office in central Alberta. Back in the beginning, the office had four realtors as the business has grown to a full-service real estate office with headquarters in Stettler with 10 licensed realtors in residential, acreages, rural, farms commercial and recreational properties. As the market grew, Royal Lepage Central expanded to an office in Bashaw in 2007 and Buffalo Lake in 2008. “Recreational lots at the lake and development in Stettler were booming in 2006 and 2007,” said Cassidy. “We’re still booming, although in the real estate market, the population doesn’t go up much.” Combined, the staff has 127 years of real estate experience. Jill Fisher, associate broker — five years. Norma Leslie, associate broker — 34 years. Brian Lynn, associate broker — 16 years. Kyle Ramstad, sales associate — six years.

‘The perfect high school memory’ Loshny savours provincial football title JOHN MACNEIL Independent editor
When he rewinds his high school athletics reel, Morgan Loshny can picture the best of times. He played a leading role in 2011 when the Stettler Wildcats won the provincial Tier 3 high school football championship in convincing style. “It was like a family,” Loshny recalled last week after he was named the 2012-13 William E. Hay Composite High School male athlete of the year. “We kind of dreamt about it from the beginning of the season, and then, it’s just like everything fell into place. “It felt like a movie. It was crazy. Like, winning it again wouldn’t be the same, because it was so perfect. We were ranked eighth in the province — the lowest we could be — and we beat the first-ranked team. It’s the underdog story. The perfect high school memory.” The 2012 football season wasn’t as celebrated, but it was another chapter in a standout high school career for Loshny, a graduating student who also played basketball with the Wildcats. After suffering a serious knee injury in Week 1 action, he returned to the football lineup in time for the provincial playoff push. Loshny, previously the starting quarterback, pitched in as a receiver, despite a partially torn MCL and a completely torn ACL in his right knee. “After that, I played pretty much three and a half games, which is better than zero — I can say that,” he said. “It was horrible (sitting out). It was an antsy feeling on the sidelines. Playing a new position that I liked, it was tough to sit there and watch.” Loshny had experience as a receiver the previous spring in his final season with the Camrose-based Battle River Shock midgets. He gave it the old college try in both of his final two seasons with the Wildcats, persevering both years in the face of injuries. His athleticism served him well. It’s
expected to do likewise as he recovers from knee surgery scheduled for this summer. “The doctor said the surgery, 99 per cent of the time, is completely successful,” Loshny said. “And being athletic, the chances are even higher of being successful. “As long as I take care of myself afterwards and rebuild everything, then it should be great. I wouldn’t have to wear the brace again, and I could do full contact and it would be just like new.” A new chapter is unfolding in Loshny’s life. He’s entering the bachelor of science in engineering program, initially at Red Deer College and transferring to the University of Alberta in Edmonton after one year. Sports, in one form or another, figure to be part of his college routine. “I’m getting my surgery in August, but I want to try out for a junior (football) team out of Edmonton the following year, after I’m done my first year of university,” said Loshny, 18. “And there’s tons of intramural programs, just-for-fun stuff, that can keep you busy, too, especially in the recovering process. That’ll be good for my first year recovering from my surgery, to get involved with some smaller, just-for-fun intramurals and stuff like that. “I’m thinking I might do something like that at RDC, like an intramural basketball team, not for competing or anything, but just to keep me active.” Loshny’s active high school years included not only athletic and academic achievements, but also friendships formed en route. One of his best buddies throughout high school has been fellow 2013 graduate Ty Page, who also played with the football and basketball Wildcats and the Shock football team. “He was my gym buddy,” Loshny said of Page. “We’d motivate each other.” The Wildcats’ team environment was in vogue last Tuesday night for the revamped Colour Night awards ceremony, which was an exclusive gathering for students playing school sports. “It felt more like a team (event) than

Graduating students Claire Aspenes and Morgan Loshny were named athletes of the year at William E. Hay Composite High School during Colour Night last week. a school function,” Loshny said. “It was actually kind of nice.” In true sports fashion, he’s setting high goals to shoot for in his collegiate years.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to try out for the U of A, at all,” Loshny said. “Maybe do one year of junior (football) and see where my confidence fits in, then go from there.”

Independent editor Claire Aspenes was a leader on the basketball and volleyball courts during her high school career with the Stettler Wildcats. It was fitting, then, that the female athlete of the year led the students’ organization of the 44th annual Colour Night ceremony last Tuesday honouring athletes from William E. Hay Composite High School. Aspenes is the head of the school’s athletic board, which is made up of representatives from high school sports. “I’m the president of the athletic board, so we put a lot of work into (Colour Night),” she said. “The entire board did — not just me. “It was a good time.” The format was changed this year to make last week’s ceremony exclusively for the sports crowd, while students from drama and arts activities will be honoured separately this week. “It worked out better for everybody, because it was more focused on just the athletes,” said Aspenes, who hosted the evening program along with athletic board vice-president and fellow senior student Austin Cherewko. Student-athletes mingled with friends they’ve made

she plans to transfer to the main U of A campus in Edm m monton for the final two yyears of that program. For now, at least, she’s stepping back from comppetitive sports. “I’m probably not going tto play anything, actually, jjust the way it worked out,” Aspenes said of her AuA gustana timetable. “I would hhave played basketball, but tthey aren’t losing very many girls, so just the year it is, it jjust doesn’t work out for me tto play.” Coming from an athletic ffamily, though, she plans to continue to practise an acttive lifestyle. “Oh yeah, definitely,” she said.

through their participation in school sports. Those relationships extend far beyond the wins and losses and the foul lines. “Most of my friends, I’ve played sports with,” said Aspenes, 18. “It was a really fun experience. “I would definitely say that sports was a key highlight of my high school years.” Aspenes participated in a yearbook full of sports

— basketball and volleyball through all of her high school years and badminton (Grade 11) and track and field (Grade 10) for one year each. She was named the MVP of the senior girls’ basketball team and earned the Sally Bishop Award as the female athlete of the year (while Morgan Loshny received the Bob Stewart Award as the male athlete of the year).
“It was nice to be recognized for being able to handle school and sports at the same time,” Aspenes said. “I felt honoured.” She was part of the senior girls’ volleyball Wildcats, who won the inaugural team academic award at Colour Night. Her father, Warren, coached that club. Aspenes is off the University of Alberta Augustana Campus to study education. After two years in Camrose,
‘Personalized’ ceremony Warren Aspenes, a teacher and the athletic director at William E. Hay, believes the new Colour Night format proved popular. “The idea behind that was to try to, No. 1, get more participation from our athletes and coaches on an event that would have more of a personalized feel to it,” he said. “We had more than 200 athletes and parents. We had close to 80 per cent of our athletes participating. And out of those 80 per cent, about 50 different students
got awards.” One of the new awards saluted classroom achievement as the senior girls’ volleyball club earned academic distinction. “The team academic award is to honour a broader range of students, but also to recognize the importance of student-athletes,” said Aspenes, who coached the senior girls’ volleyball team. A couple of staff members, Joe Thibeau and Dave Morris, received the Larry Wilson Founders’ Award. “Joe for the time he spends coaching, primarily basketball, and Dave for all the work he does in photography for all of our sports,” Aspenes said. “We rely on him being there, whether it’s football, basketball … all the different sports.” Fresh off a provincial junior girls’ gold medal in long jump, Grade 10 student Dacia Gramlick earned the Dana Roberts Memorial Award for all-around excellence and dedication in track and field. For cumulative points based on participation and commitment in high school athletics, 13 students received Block S awards. Two seniors, Claire Aspenes and Tyler Stewart, were awarded Bar S honours for their extensive involvement.

GETTING THEIR KICKS — Stettler will be a soccer haven this weekend as the community hosts the Soccer Alberta provincial playdowns at fields throughout town.
Checkel checks in with record Coronation runner Ernesto Checkel ran into the CARA Invitational track and field meet record books last week in Stettler. Checkel, son of Clearview School Division chairman Ken Checkel, won the intermediate boys’ (Grade 8) 800-metre race in record time, 2:25.27. He broke a 17-year-old record (2:29.66) that Clayton Rock of Gadsby set in 1996. It was a banner day for Checkel, who also won his 400and 1,500-metre races in the regional championships for Central Alberta schools. Meet director Charisse McDonald of Stettler Middle
School said the CARA meet records go as far back as 1975. “This year, we had about 150 athletes participating,” McDonald said. “This track meet has been opened up to any schools who would like to come, and the last two years, Delburne has brought over 40 athletes and has done very well. “We hope, over time, the meet will grow in numbers. We would like to see this meet become the CWAJHAA meet, as it hasn’t been done in many years. This late in the (school) year, it’s difficult to get kids and schools to commit, so CWAJHAA hasn’t run a track meet.”
Ernesto Checkel won three events in the CARA meet.
