Grace Chapman of Stettler receives congratulations from trustees Patty Dittrick and Peter Simons during the Clearview School Division meeting last week.
Stettler student pens Alberta history CHASE ROSLAND Independent reporter A Stettler high school student wrote history of another sort last week. Grace Chapman entered a contest through the Alberta government to place letters in a provincial time capsule. Out of almost 500 entries, Chapman’s letter was chosen to be included in the Alberta history chest.
A panel of judges selected eight letters to be approved by house speaker Hon. Gene Zwozdesky and placed in the Alberta government time capsule last Wednesday. “It felt kind of cool,” said Chapman, a Grade 11 student. “To have something I wrote right now read 100 years from now by people and the government, that’s kind of sweet.” Chapman decided to
enter when her cousin told her she should participate the contest. “I thought it would be interesting and something different,” she said. In the letter, Chapman discussed her busy lifestyle, including her involvement with multiple sports, and her dedication to school and spending time with her friends. Chapman also explained what she sees herself doing
in the next 100 years, from schooling to travelling, and what she wants to do for a career. One question about the future that Chapman really wants answered is what technological advances will occur in the next 100 years. “I can only imagine what life will be like 100 years from now, especially since the world has changed so much since I was younger and when my parents were
kids,” she said. Chapman, 16, stressed how fortunate Albertans are to have the government, resources and schooling to allow them to have a good quality of life. Chapman has a message to pass on to the future generation: “It’s not letting anyone get in the way of you and your dreams,” she said. “Anything is possible and anything can happen, and
that only you can decide your dreams and goals.” Among the 50 other items placed in the capsule, the top five items included an uncirculated coin set, newspapers with coverage from the legislature building centennial celebrations, photos of the 1909 time capsule unearthing, and photos of classes that participated in the School at the Legislature program in the 2012-13 school year.
Clearview pilot project takes flight RICHARD FROESE Independent reporter With a pilot project into its second month, the Clearview School Division has mapped out its plans for education in Stettler. The “Stettler Schools Study,” which involves reconfiguring grades and administration, is seeking feedback from staff and parents. A survey was sent home last week, the school board reported. “We ask that people respond by Oct. 10,” superintendent John Bailey said during the board meeting. People also have the option to complete the survey online, while all information will help administration set direction at an information meeting later this month. “We value their input and it is very important to explain why we are doing this,” Bailey said.
Under the pilot project this school year, the division has initiated a plan to study and analyze potential benefits and implications to amalgamate, in whole or in part, the schools at the Stettler campus. On the survey, respondents can offer reaction about opportunities and barriers the changes create and other questions and suggestions. As a way to cover reduced funding, Clearview launched a pilot project to study reconfigured grades. The board appointed Sharon Fischer as principal of Stettler Elementary School and Stettler Middle School, while Norbert Baharally remains the principal of William E. Hay Composite High School (grades 9 to 12). Stettler Outreach School principal Roe Desrosiers and Bailey comprise the team leading the project. While the board last spring planned to have an update community forum in late September, longtime Stettler trustee
Patty Dittrick expressed concern that the division didn’t follow through. In response, Bailey said the project didn’t have enough adequate information to present to a public meeting. “Principals are very supportive of this plan and value all response,” Bailey said. “We are going into this study with an open mind and no pre-conceived notions.” Bailey further described that information will be presented to the board, parents and teachers in January, with a community forum in February. A final report to the board, with recommendations, is planned for April, so the division would have adequate time to authorize changes with the provincial government for the next school year. “Once research information is available, it is recommended a report be made available to staff, parents and the community,” outlining the research findings and recommendations and
asking for feedback on specific ideas,” Bailey said. Joanne Steinman of the University of Calgary has indicated she would be interested in assisting Clearview with the project to help determine steps for the next school year. The report from Bailey also stated that administrators are committed to key principles: — “Our primary focus is students, programming for student learning and funding is secondary. — “All Clearview students are our shared responsibility. — “We support all Clearview programs. — “We are committed to working together with the board to conduct a study to best address the programming needs of students in Stettler. — “Our collaboration will promote equity for all students, regardless of school location, size and/or configuration.”

‘More blessed to give than receive’
Published by Stettler Independent Management
In speaking with a government official recently I was told that last year the average Canadian gave $85 to charity. He went on to say that for this reason, when someone’s charitable donations approach eight to 10 per cent of their income, they’re immediately suspect of making a false report and may be asked to verify their claim. (Incidentally, I’ve read that the average church member contributes between 1.5 to 2.5 per cent of their income to the Lord’s work and the lower the family income, the higher the percentage of giving). The Scriptures’ teaching about giving and generosity to the Lord’s work, to the poor and to each other is multitudinous. The focus is typically upon attitude not amount. For example, 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Alexander the Great, on exercises with his troops, rode by a poor man begging for alms. He threw the man several gold coins. One of his lieutenants said, “Sir, copper coins would adequately
(a division of Black Press Group Ltd.)
meet a beggar’s need. Why give him gold?” Alexander responded, “Copper coins would suit the beggar’s need, but gold coins suit Alexander’s giving.” While I suspect that Alexander’s liberality was somewhat vanity-based, the truth of the matter is that generosity speaks more about the nature of the giver than it does the need of the recipient. A true story from many years ago, involves a 10-year-old boy who climbed onto a stool in the local restaurant. He asked the waitress, “How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents” she replied, and the boy reached into his pocket,
pulled out some change and began counting. She frowned and waited impatiently as he counted through his coins. Looking up at the waitress he asked, “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” Rolling her eyes. She snapped, “Thirty five cents!” He placed a quarter and 2 nickels on the counter and said, “I’ll have the plain ice cream please.” When the waitress returned to clear the counter a tear came to her eyes. Tucked under the empty dish were 2 nickels and 5 pennies…the boy had enough money for a sundae, but he’d ordered plain ice cream so that he could leave her a tip. C.S. Lewis speaking about generosity stated, “I don’t believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.” And George Mueller, a man who experienced God’s provision powerfully and perennially said, “God judges what we give by what we keep.” “The Lord Jesus himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

MONEY TALK
Baby boomers come up short for retirement By Peter Boys The Financial Coach Canada’s baby boomers are starting to realize they don’t have as much saved for retirement as they will need in order to live comfortably. That was highlighted in a recent study that found that the average baby boomer anticipates they will require at least $658,000 each to feel financially secure. However, with current savings only at an average of only $228,000, there’s a big shortfall. Almost 50 per cent of boomers today aren’t confident that they’ll be financially secure in retirement, up from 20 per cent who felt this way in
2006. And as they prepare to head into their retirement years, many are discovering they have little time to catch up. Back in 2009, a Statistics Canada report found that the average senior couple spent $54,100 a year on retirement living expenses. If we look at average historical investment returns, and the need for boomers to have sufficient savings to sustain a withdrawal rate of four per cent annually, their retirement savings should equal about 25 times the size of their combined annual withdrawals. That means that in order to generate $54,100 annual income for retirement, a retired couple would need to have saved
about $1.35 million in 2009. Factoring in four per cent annual inflation going forward to 2013, this number jumps to almost $1.6 million to match their 2009 income need. The report found that to make up for their lack of retirement savings, many boomers are looking at other ways to cover their shortfall. Seventy-one per cent said they plan to take on a part-time job, 44 per cent said they will sell off collectibles or other possessions they don’t use, 32 per cent expect to sell their home, and 19% said they plan to rent out part of their home. What gives this even greater urgency is today’s
abysmal fixed income investment returns. Consider 2.5 per cent annual interest from a five year GIC, and low bond rates that were previously considered safe investments for retirees. These rates have been decimated by today’s central banks historically low base rates, kept low in an attempt to stimulate the struggling global economies. These studies’ findings should be a wakeup call to younger Canadians, that they need to think beyond their immediate day-to-day financial needs and have an eye on their future, particularly in building funds for their retirement years. Plus as the huge wave
of baby boomers begin to retire, it will put an incredible strain on our already over-extended health care system and government coffers at all levels. The result will be either large tax increases to generate more revenue, or very significant cut backs to services. It’s my belief that young people today need to look at both significantly increasing their level of savings for their retirement, and also have some level of self-funded long term care in place. So they don’t run out of money once retired and aren’t 100 per cent reliant on government for quality nursing care once they reach that stage of their life.

Not all MLAs ‘ride the right brand’ “Riding for the brand” is an expression from the early days of cattle ranching in North America. It was a term that referenced how an operator gained the loyalty of a ranch hand. If you took a man’s money, you rode for that brand and only that brand. When most people think of the term “brand,” they think of its most literal meaning which is the mark that indicated ownership of cattle. A rancher’s brand was their trademark and represented not only ownership but it also represented pride, duty, and stewardship while inspiring loyalty, dedication, and camaraderie. When a hired hand rode for the brand, it meant that you had signed on to the mission; that you were committed, and most importantly, it meant you were a dedicated team player. If you weren’t, then you had no business being on the ranch’s payroll. Much like those days gone by of the rancher-ranch hand relationship, an elected representative is hired on to “ride for the brand.” In Alberta, the brand MLA’s are hired to ride for is very specific; it’s the brand of the people in their constituency. Unfortunately, not all MLAs in this province ride for
From the Legislature MLA Report by Rick Strankman the right brand, or for that matter, the right reason. As the MLA for Drumheller Stettler, it’s clear that my position is to act in the best interest of the constituents in the riding I proudly call home; anything less would be a betrayal of my constituents and me. A few weeks ago, I asked a question of the Premier in Stettler, concerning the acute care beds that the people of Consort were promised would re-open if the conditions laid out by the province were met. Well it’s been six months, they’ve met those conditions, and we still have no definitive answer from the Alberta government. When I asked the question I referred to the constituency as “my constituency” and was scolded by the Premier for
Food supply still looks good, but limitations might surface The branding of Canadian beef was recently discussed at a Canada Beef Inc. (CBI) seminar in Calgary. The thrust of the discussion was the value of having a genuine all-encompassing “Canadian Beef” label for both domestic and export markets. There is much to be said for such an approach mainly that it fixes a familiar quality and national perception in the consumer’s eye. The trick then is for agencies like CBI to promote the qualities of the brand so that consumers instantly perceive the label as being a premium product compared to any other beef product that doesn’t have the label. There was a broad consensus that a “Canada” label worked well in export markets where Canadian beef faces tough competition from other national brands like US Beef or New Zealand Beef. But it seems the Canadian label may not have the same premium impact in the domestic market. No one is disputing the quality and safety of our product — that is assumed and expected by the Canadian consumer. But it seems some marketers might be wanting more of a competitive edge in retailing and just the Canadian label may not be enough. For example, a Quebec restaurateur at the event reported he was using a “Western
Canada Beef” label, because his customers assume that is where quality beef comes from — seems logical. That brought up further discussion on organic, natural and humane handling labels all for niche markets and where the Canadian Beef label fits in with those marketing angles. I would suggest they all fit because the point is to sell beef in a way that the consumer will buy more of it. If that means lifestyle, production method or regional labelling then full steam ahead. If that supersedes the Canadian label – then that’s the verdict of the marketplace and the consumer. But that wide-open approach can bring on somewhat misleading labelling just to gain a marketing advantage - that’s nothing new in the world of advertising.. What did annoy some folks at the seminar was the trend of some retailers to begin dictating that meat should come from certain production systems or even production perceptions. The reference clearly
was towards the gestation stall issue for sows and restricted cages for laying hens. But beef was implicated because of negative perceptions about hormone and antibiotic use in feedlots. It was felt that none of those issues affected meat quality, but it was driving a wedge between meat from different production systems through labelling at the expense of producers. Perhaps one of the most blatant examples of such misleading labelling is a current campaign by a very large retailer called “Free From.” The advertising claims that their pork, chicken and turkey is raised free from hormones and antibiotics. However in that same advertising a small print line is added that states all pork, chicken and turkey is raised without hormones and antibiotics. You might as well add lamb, mutton, veal and game meat to that free from list. It’s clearly a marketing ploy that tries to exploit consumer ignorance. Which brings up a

point many of the attendees I expect were quietly thinking after noting the Western Canada label being used in Quebec. There is a proven iconic label that has historic connections to quality western beef and that seems ready for a glorious return to its rightful place in national beef marketing – you know it of course “Alberta Beef.” I am willing to bet most retailers across Canada would welcome the return of that legendary label. That label continues to be promoted but just in Alberta - relaunching the label on a national campaign is presently fraught with cattle politics. The idea does not go over well with Ontario cattle organizations that feel that there own “Ontario cornfed Beef” label should not have to compete with an Alberta Beef label in their own province. The compromise is to encourage retailers to use the “Canadian Beef” label. But it seems retailers are not that convinced it has the same provenance as say Alberta or Western Canada. A number of processors and retailers even use their own trademark quality labels. There is a message in all this and there should be a common sense approach, but it seems a resolution will have to take some big leaps to overcome the political hurdles.
doing so. She told me that it was “my constituents’ constituency.” With all due respect, I beg to differ; it is my constituency, just as it is every person’s that proudly calls Drumheller Stettler home. As we’ve seen time and again, far too many people in public office ride for the brand that appears on their election signs, instead of the brand that represents their constituents. There’s a poem by Paul Harwitz called “Riding for the Brand,” in which he accurately describes the values that have built Alberta; pride, trust, community, integrity, and teamwork are what have been the most successful keys for many Albertans over its history. The most profound line in the poem, in my opinion, has to be “it means that you don’t work just for a buck.” Something that could very well be the most important value any representative of the people could have. As a member of the Wildrose Official Opposition, I am proud to have the ability to ride for only one brand-the constituents of Drumheller Stettler.

Taking a closer look at home inspections By Dan Levia, In-Focus Home Inspections, Red Deer Since Sept. 1, 2011, home inspectors in Alberta have had to be licenced by the Alberta government. What that means is more protection for the average home buyer. In the past, anyone that wanted to could hang a shingle up and call themselves a “Home Inspector”. Now, the government insures home inspectors have the required education, experience and insurance. On the Service Alberta website, servicealberta.ca/1773. cfm, a home inspection is described as “an opinion as to the condition of a dwelling based primarily on a non-invasive examination of readily accessible features and components of the dwelling.” What that means is that home inspectors are paid to go through a house and visually inspect readily accessible systems and components of the building and describe them in a written report that’s then presented to their clients. A key phrase here is “readily accessible.” That tells us that the inspector will not poke holes in walls, move furniture, walk roofs that are slippery or covered with snow or even too high. The inspector won’t risk his safety to do something he’s not comfortable doing and by law he’s not required to do. So what are you getting when you hire a home inspector? You usually are getting years of experience looking at systems (plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc.) and how they work together. The inspector is probably someone that has held a hammer or two and driven in the odd nail. He has received training on how and where moisture enters a house and different ways to keep it away. Most likely he has operated and looked inside of more different types of furnaces than you even knew existed. Chances are he can tell you if your outlets are grounded and what type and how much insulation is in the attic. Is a home inspection worth getting? That is your decision, however, keep in mind that most people when looking at houses, are tied to their choice emotionally. A home inspector doesn’t have that emotional tie to stop him from seeing the house as it really is. He’s in the home for two to three hours and during that time he’s looking at it with a very critical eye. He’s operating the furnace, turning on switches, lights, furnaces, opening kitchen cabinets, and drawers, looking in closets, up the attic, through the crawlspace if there is one and generally going through each room systematically and writing notes and taking pictures of what he sees. After he’s finished the inspection, usually, he will take you through the house with him and point out what he has found, and give you maintenance ideas and tips on keeping up your house. This is usually the most valuable time for you as you’ll probably learn more about your new house in this half hour than all of your previous trips through it combined. It also gives you a chance to ask questions and it will give you a better understanding of the finished report.

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT NEWS
RICHARD FROESE/ Independent reporter
The St. Peter choir sings to celebrate Lutheran history last Sunday in Stettler.
Lutheran church marks 100 years RICHARD FROESE Independent reporter Lutheran faith in the Stettler area was celebrated last weekend to mark a couple of church milestones. St. Peter Lutheran Church marked 50 years, while Lutherans commemorated 100 years of faith in the Stettler region. “Timely moments have shaped the history of this congregation for 100 years,” said Bill Flath, who
served as pastor from 1972 to 1979. “We can call them holy moments.” Even long after he left the area, Flath admired the Stettler congregation for its continued faith. “I am impressed with how you have grown, not only as a congregation, but as a community in a bond of love that has grown stronger through the years,” he said. Another former pastor echoed those words. “I want to commend you, and those who have gone before you, for the faithful response to the gospel,”
said John Tweeten, the local pastor from 1979 to 1983. He sang a solo, while his wife Liz accompanied him on the piano. Alfred Erichsen said the history of the Lutheran churches in the area prompted him to write a history book, “Stettler Lutheran Pioneers and Their Churches.” A video of photos of Lutheran life and people over the decades was produced by Heather Smiley. With an average of 100 people in the Sunday worship service, the congregation has about 260 baptized members and 190 confirmed members.
United Church makeover cause for celebration RICHARD FROESE
SUBSCRIBE VOTE for Vic Carey For strong reliable available representation
Independent reporter Built in 1927 as one of the first United churches constructed in Canada, Stettler United Church celebrated major renovations last Saturday afternoon. The same building was declared a provincial “historic resource” last July. “One of the greatest rewards of this project was that it created opportunities for people in the congregation to work with other people, and some they didn’t know, and it built relationships and fellowship,” said
Larry Wilson, a member of the project committee. Upgrades to the sanctuary with heating in the floor and a revised chancel, new roof, redesigned basement and Sunday school space and headquarters for Stettler and District Food Bank were major components of the project.
It involved many people from the church and community. “We are currently serving the sixth generation,” Wilson said. Among the senior generation was Audrey Zender, 95, part of the church since 1946 and wife of the late Dr. Bob Zender. The family
provided a substantial financial donation for a wheelchair lift. Wilson and board chair Betty Birch were thanked for their leadership and volunteering for their service in the Caring Together, Building Together project. “For the good of all creation, for the
community of Stettler, for the extension of God’s love throughout the world and for the healing that love brings, we dedicate this house,” the congregation expressed in a reading. The church choir performed music, with solos from Evelyn Shursen and Dave Goodwin.
My name is Staci Gerlitz, and I am running for School Board Trustee in the upcoming election on October 21, 2013. I am 26 years old and have resided in the town of Stettler all of my life. I decided to run in the election after I took part in, and witnessed the backlash to the proposed amalgamation of TTC Outreach School and William E. Hay Composite High School. I am a past student of both schools, so that really hit home for me. I will admit that I am new to this, however I am eager to learn. I have been out of school for 9 years, but all of my experiences are still very fresh in my mind, which gives me the perspective of a student. I am currently working towards a degree in Psychology. My ability to see and understand all aspects of a problem, then reaching a fair solution, is really helping me in my studies, and would make me a great asset to the school board. I want to make a difference in our community. I have a keen interest in the long term educational sustainability in Stettler. I have the students best interests in my heart and in my head and I promise that will not change.
October 21, 2013 is Election Day, and your vote would be greatly appreciated.

Well, another fine harvest week has gone by and the farmers are getting that much closer to completion. The fall supper is getting closer and I have to fix my mistake from last week; the fall supper is on Saturday, Nov. 2, and prep day is Friday, Nov. 1. Be sure to mark this day on your calendars, it is always a great meal and good company. The news from Morrin school is that the Grade 10 Initiation will take place on Friday. This involves the Grade 12’s taking the Grade 10’s out and about the communities to collect for S.T.A.R.S. They will be going out to Rumsey, Rowley, Morrin and Munson. Our local Grade 12 students are Bradley Nelson, Brittiany Cawiezel, Denver Hodge, Alisha Jarvis, Alice Sinclair, and Marcus Herd.
Our Grade 10’s this year are Katie Primrose, Erica Nelson, Carson Hodge and Quinton Kopjar. Please let me know if I have missed someone attending a different school and is also graduating this year. Erica Nelson is enjoying the higher levels of hockey. Congratulations on earning a spot on the Red Deer Sutter Fund Midget AAA Chiefs Young Women’s Team. She travelled down to Lethbridge this weekend with her team to play in a Showcase Tournament. The team played three games with a final tally of two ties and one win for the weekend. The Rumsey /Rowley 4-H Beef Club will be starting up soon again. If you have a kid or two interested in joining just contact Jill
Holowath at 403-368-3733 or Melaine Nelson at 403772-0000. Russel Steen’s football team, the Stettler Wildcats, won after another nail biter against Rocky Mountain House. Just to give you a taste of what us parents went through I will give you the last minute of the 4th quarter; the boys had possession, the score is 14-12 and not for us. They quickly work their way up the field; finally within the last 20 yards, they are on their third down and bring out our kicker, Frank. There was 12 seconds left in the game when he makes a clean kick through the uprights bringing our score up three points, making it 15–14 for us. Of course, in football, 10 seconds can be a lot of time if left in the wrong
hands, the opposing team managed one play up the field before the boys intercept a pass, gain possession and are able to take a knee to end the game. The boys played very hard and enjoyed every minute as did we parents. Their next game will be in Stettler on Friday, under the lights at 7 p.m. If you find yourself in Stettler on Friday night come and enjoy a small town football game. There is nothing better! A football coach was asked his secret of evaluating his new recruits. “Well,” he said, “I take them out to the woods and make them run. The ones that run around the trees, I make into running backs. The ones that run straight into the trees, I make into linemen.”

HALKIRK HERALD By Dorothy Anderson and Rose Koenraadt Mother Teresa students participated in the annual Terry Fox run, along with the Theresetta and Gus Wetter students on Friday in Castor. The Theresetta school served lunch and the proceeds were donated to the “kids with cancer” Society in Edmonton in memory of Alexei Schnell. About $750 was raised. Kids with cancer is an amazingly supportive group that aided Todd and Holly Schnell and family when Alexei was receiving her cancer treatments. Personal hygiene products, coupons, a Halloween party, Christmas gifts and Thursday night pizza were a few of the ways that they supply mental, physical and financial help to families in crises. Councillors for the village are Dale Kent, Sherry Jamieson and newcomer Matthew Koenraadt. Rocky Dahmer retained his seat for the south Halkirk district while newcomer Doreen Blumhagen replaced Tony Nibourg in the north area. All seats were filled by acclimation.

GADSBY/WESTWOODS By Paulette Heer Nominations for the upcoming elections were wellattended last Monday with four running in the village of Gadsby: Fred Entwisle, Brian Burks, Kim Cooper and Laura Kelly-Stevenson. In the county, Gadsby/ Botha area Greggory Jackson and Vic Carey. Best of luck to all. An autumn setting made for a picturesque wedding on the weekend. Frank and Betty Hadwin joined family and friends in Benalto at the rodeo grounds where Betty’s brother George Spencer and Lori were married in a very nice ceremony which was briefly interrupted by about 30 members of George’s family, including Frank and Betty, dressed as hillbillies. This was in retaliation for years of practical jokes by George, the bride being
warned ahead of time. Much laughter ensued. Percy and Paulette Heer picked up Paulette’s aunt Betty Hankins on Thursday, meeting Bob and Louise Elliot in Stettler for supper at the Club Café. Get-well wishes to Stan Quance, who is recuperating at home after his second knee surgery. On Friday, Percy and Paulette Heer motored to Eckville to attend Percy’s cousin DeLoyce Burns’ funeral. Joining them there were Percy’s sister Dale and Eldon Van Straten and Pernell; cousins Edna Kelody, Floyd and Marina Young and aunt Pearl Shearer (Ken) and Betty. Over five hundred people gathered in the Eckville community hall for the service and lunch. DeLoyce was 74. On Saturday, Sept. 21
in the newly formed Trinity Faith United Church in Shetland, Ontario David Stadelmann wed Trisha Jones. Bev Stadelmann, the groom’s sister was his “best man”. The bride had a friend, her sister and her niece as her attendants. Donna, Markus, Joe, Kim and her fiancé Willie; Gloria LaRose, Tara-Lee, Matt, Lewis and Meghan were the Alberta guests. Donna and Markus being the parents of the groom. David’s grandmother Theres Tschudi-Stadelmann and her daughter Daniela Tschudi attended from Switzerland. David is the third child of Donna and Markus Stadelmann and the grandson of the late Audrey and Bill Boyd. The community was saddened with the passing of William “Bill” Boyd who grew up south of Gadsby,
took his schooling here and farmed with his parents. Bill married Audrey Bignell, raised his family south of Gadsby, took in events at Shooting Lake, Gadsby and especially Decoration Day at the Omega Cemetery each year. Bill and Audrey moved to Stettler where he continued to keep in touch with all his Gadsby friends. His funeral was held Saturday at Stettler Funeral Home, lunch provided by Gadsby District Hobby Club. Bill and “Boyd Contruction” had spent many hours working on the Hobby Club building in past years. Sincere sympathies to his daughters Donna and MarkusStadelmann and family; Gloria LaRose and family. A candlelight burial at the Gadsby Omega Cemetery followed at 7:30 pm. Bill was 83 years of age.

STETTLER MIDDLE SCHOOL By Katelyn Imbery and Rayne Teichreb What an amazing start to the year we have had at SMS! We want to send a big thank you out to Hearthaven Residence Club and Superfluity for their kind donations to our breakfast program. We also want to say another big thank you to Sobey’s for their donation of hot dogs and water to our Terry Fox Day, where our school raised over $1200 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. Way to go, SMS! Grade eights had loads of fun on the leadership trip to Red Deer this past Wednesday. The students participated in activities such as horse back riding at Heritage Ranch, hiking and cycling around Red Deer, swimming at the Collicutt Center, and visiting the Sports Hall of Fame. The day ended in Rotary Park with hot dogs and water before boarding the bus for back home. The cross-country meet in Wetaskiwin took place on Sept. 21, with 10 students in grades 7 and 8 from our school participating. The girls won first place, while the boys won second place in the school awards category. The overall winner for grades 7 to 9 schools was SMS. So a big congratulations goes out to those who participated! The next run will be C.A.R.A on Oct. 10 in Castor and then C.W.A.J.H.A.A follows on Oct. 17 in Sylvan Lake. Our school library has recently received a huge new selection of books for our students to enjoy. There will be a lot more books to come within the next few months, so keep checking back! Oct. 7 is our annual awards night that takes place in the PAC. It is a time to recognize the achievements and successes of our students from the 2012-13 school year. On Oct. 9, the school will have its annual intervention interviews, which is an opportunity for teachers to inform parents of student progress. The first dance was held on the 20th and students had a blast. It was $4 with a food donation and $5 without a food donation. All food donations go to our local food bank. It was a nice welcome for all grade six students and the new students in our school, because they got to attend the dance for free. The student union is having a retreat at Circle Square Ranch sometime in October, where they will do team-building exercises and plan events for the upcoming school year. The annual Turkey Trot will be held on Oct. 11. Students will run a course and prizes will be given to the fastest students and to those students that had the closest estimates predicted. A few Grade 6 social studies classes made “Democracy” pizzas this past week to help them understand the concepts of decision-making and consensus. Students had to bring in their own toppings and work together to decide which toppings work best. Then they got to eat their pizzas as reward for their hard work. We will be selling maga-
zines again from Oct. 7 to 16. If you need to renew a magazine subscription, or want a new one, you can get in touch with one of our students or watch for them
going door to door. September has been filled with a lot of events, and it looks as though October will bring even more.

Cross-country runners: Noah Smyth, Tori Brower, Keyonna Derr, Reece Frank, Jordan Burkard, Seanna Jones, Sadie Diegel, Krysta Froese, James Switenky and Riley Cornelssen.
It has been said that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Whatever your definition of beauty is — it has been a beautiful week at S.E.S. We enjoyed everything from beautiful results for cross-country, beautiful hearts revealed during Terry Fox Run and even beautiful art work. Science is also indeed a thing of beauty. On Wednesday, September 25, Gord Latham and his lineman named Virgil from ATCO Electric made an electrical safety demonstration to Mr. Howell’s grade 5 science class. They set up a model of an electrified town, and showed the students people performing unsafe practices using electricity. The demonstration was closely aligned to what Mr. Howell’s students are learning in their magnetism and electricity unit. It was a fascinating, educational demonstration! Since the beginning of September, 70-plus students practised at noon hours preparing for the Peace Hills Cross Country meet in Westaskiwin. Under beautiful sunny skies, 54 of our runners got up early on Saturday, Sept. 21, to run the 1km or 2km race. In the boys grade 2-3 division, there were over 60 boys running the 1km route. Our top runners were Colby Frank (4th), Carter Kranzler (5th), Stefan Oprea (7th), Sawyer Norman (8th), and Cole Van Rinden (10th). With the help of the other 14 runners these boys captured the Grade 2-3 top Elementary boys team. In the 2-3 girls 1km race, our top finishers were Kate Bradford (2), Jaime Dick-
son (3rd), Mackenzie Miller (8th), Zoe Norman (9th), Kyla King (10th), Bianca Brugman (11th). These young runners with the help of 12 other fast grade 2-3 girls captured the top team in the 2-3 girls elementary division. In each division, the runners receive a number for their finish. For example, in the girls 2-3 division, we had a second place (2), 3rd, 8th and 9th-place finish. These are then added up and the lowest score then wins the awards for top Elementary 2-3 girls team. Beautiful leave-art is on display in the Grade 1 hallway. These creations were done by Mrs. Jackson’s students. They used different sizes, colours and shapes of leaves to create different animals. On a glorious sunny Friday, Sept. 27, our students took part in the Terry Fox
run. Wow our students went above and beyond Terry’s dream of each Canadian donating a $1 for cancer research. Thank you very much to all who donated to this worthy cause. Mrs. du Toit’s kindergarten class all decided to run in honour of their returning teacher cancer survivor, Mrs. Thorne. It was great to witness the beauty of a child’s sincere admiration and love. We are so thankful for the return of Mrs. Thorne. Both Mrs. Lynn and Jackson are also cancer survivors and a great example to our students. It is good to see what happens when people work together. Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” John Wesley

THE STETTLER INDEPENDENT NEWS
Community food drive in gear for Monday RICHARD FROESE Independent reporter To help feed the local food bank, the annual community food drive hits the streets this Monday night. Stettler Fire and Rescue, along with ATCO, team
up for the charity project. Fire department and ATCO crews, and other volunteers, plan to canvass Stettler homes from 6 to 9 p.m. and deliver to the refurbished headquarters of Stettler and District Food Bank Society, which is based at the Stettler United Church. All donated food items are appreciated, said fire chief Mark Dennis, with a continuous need for canned
fruits and vegetables, canned meats, cheese spread, pasta, macaroni, rice, juices and cereals. Home canning, pickles and jams are not allowed under health regulations, the food bank reported. Financial donations are also accepted. For easy and simple pickup, people are requested to leave donations in a bag or box at an accessible door.

Eco Centre opens doors to clean environment RICHARD FROESE Independent reporter The Stettler Eco Centre was officially opened last Thursday to collect toxic waste year-round and protect the environment. Located at the Stettler transfer station, the new centre accepts a variety of hazardous and chemical household waste under the Stettler Waste Management Authority. “This is one small building for Stettler, but one giant leap for Stettler regional recycling,” said Grace Fix, a volunteer recycling representative on the waste authority and a member of the Heartland
Beautification Committee. She was commended by waste authority chair Coun. Malcolm Fischer of the Town of Stettler and Coun. James Nibourg of the County of Stettler, both of whom explained the value of this facility. “We want to manage waste, not let waste manage us,” Fischer said. “So there’s no excuse, everything should be recycled,” Nibourg added. Open from Thursday to Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the new yearround toxic waste disposal eliminates the need for toxic round-up in June and October. A fluorescent bulb-eater is a unique feature and can crush up to 1,300 bulbs,
with $6,500 donated from the TD Friends of the Environment Fund. While most products are recycled. Items not recyclable are taken to Swan Hills Treatment Centre. Old paint, household batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, small electronics, cellphones, laser toner and Inkjet cartridges are the basic items accepted, along with household waste that includes products that contain symbols to indicate the items are explosive, corrosive, flammable and toxic. Examples of accepted items include all cleaners, acetone, spray paint, air freshener aerosol cans, all-purpose cleaners, ammonia, wasp spray, auto

body filler, ballasts, barbecue starters, household and auto batteries, bleach and butane. The list includes contact cement, disinfectants, drain cleaners, fabric softeners, fungicides, gasoline, week killers, glue, hair colouring and hair spray, kerosene, laser toners, laundry soap and stain remover, lighter fluid, lye, mildew removers, muriatic acid and nail polish remover. The long list also includes oven cleaners, paint thinners, rubbing alcohol, rug and upholstery cleaners, rust removers, septic tank cleaner, turpentine, varnish, lacquers, pool and hottub chemicals, toilet cleaners and windshield washer fluid.

Early deficit costs Lightning in Red Deer Stettler still on stride entering two-game weekend, Saturday home-opener JOHN MACNEIL
ROSTER
Independent editor
The 24-man season-opening roster for the Stettler Lightning:
The Stettler Lightning enter October in search of their first win in the still-young Heritage Junior Hockey League season. The Lightning lost 6-4 to the host Red Deer Vipers on Saturday night to drop to 0-2 in the regular season, after posting a perfect 3-0 record in exhibition action. Stettler rebounded from a 4-0 first-period deficit to make a game of it at the venerable Red Deer Arena. “The game could have gone in one of two directions after a 4-0 start in the first period, but to the guys’ credit, I thought they did a real good job of getting back in the hockey game and really contesting for it near the end,” said Lighting coach and general manager Doug Smith. “So it was a good half a game to build on. We just have to realize we have to be ready to start. No matter what happens to us, we just have to take it in stride and get back to our game. We didn’t do a real good job of backchecking in the first period and they’re fairly quick, so they kind of got away with a few odd-man rushes in the first 10 to 15 minutes. They have lots of lines that have played together before.” The Lightning face their first two-game weekend of the season when they visit the Airdrie Extreme (1-3) on Friday night and return to Stettler for their homeopener Saturday night against the Banff Bears (3-2). Saturday’s game is a 7:30 p.m. start at the Stettler Recreaton Centre. “Airdrie is going to be another tough contest,” Smith said. “It always is down in Airdrie. “Who knows against Banff anymore. It looks like they’re scoring goals like crazy, so it’ll be another game where you don’t run and gun with them. You just play controlled hockey. We don’t (want to) trade scoring opportunities — we defend correctly and then make our offensive rushes off of that.” At Red Deer, Adam Ternes scored two power-play goals for Stettler. Kyler O’Connor netted
GOAL 1 — Jeff Skaley 35 — Simon Thieleman DEFENCE 2 — Blake Johnson 4 — Cody Wright 5 — Ryan Graff 8 — DJ Kistner 13 — Dylan Muhlbach 18 — Steven Fletcher 19 — Mark Dietz 20 — Cam Wright FORWARD 3 — Randon Rankin 6 — Landon Potter 7 — Connor Doucette 9 — Scott Ternes 10 — Adam Ternes 16 — Jake Schwarzenberger 17 — Derek Muhlbach 21 — Dylan Houston 22 — Wyat Haustein 23 — Joel Meredith 24 — Logan Davidson 25 — Reese Anheliger 26 — Kyler O’Connor 27 — Jacob Hamel

Dylan Houston (left) and twins Adam and Scott Ternes have been reunited this season with the junior B Stettler Lightning. The trio won a provincial minor midget AAA title in 2012 with Red Deer. a shorthanded marker and Jake Schwarzenberger added an evenstrength goal. Simon Thieleman made 27 saves for the Lightning, who fired 38 shots at Klay Munro. Red Deer, which connected twice on the power play, got two goals and four points from Chris Robertson. The other scorers were Zac Bouw, Kolton Gillett and rookies Eric Moltzahn and Kale Lapointe, a scoring machine last season with the Rimbey midget A team. Stettler’s Kid Line — twins Adam and Scott Ternes with Dylan Houston — connected for five points after being shut down in the Lightning’s 2-1 season-opening loss to the Three Hills Thrashers. The three 17-year-old forwards were back in the same Red Deer rink where they connected two seasons ago as the top line for the provincial minor midget AAA
champion Red Deer IROC Chiefs. “Adam, Scott and Dylan, I think they had a really good weekend again,” Smith said. “They’re just kind of learning how to play together again and learning that they’re kind of a target this year, so that there’s some things that they have to do correctly to get scoring opportunities. Teams are really taking away their space, so there are things they’re learning to do better. “Defensively as a whole, our defensive group, even though we allowed six, I thought we didn’t make many terrible mistakes. We moved the puck really well out of our own zone and defended well. We just got caught on some weird changes and some long shifts in the second period, basically, and that kind of thing. “We’re nice and solid right from top to bottom. Now, we’ve
just got to start being a little more efficient all the time.” The Lightning have opened the season with a 24-man roster that includes seven newcomers. One of those, Stettler goaltender Jeff Skaley, is scheduled to start Friday night at Airdrie, with Thieleman slotted in for Saturday’s homeopener. The Lightning welcomed forward Derek Muhlbach for his first league game since leaving the Lightning about a year ago. Muhlbach and his twin Dylan, however, won’t be available this weekend because of their work commitments, Smith said. “Hopefully, Wyat (Haustein) is back this week, so we might have him (for the weekend games). Again, we kind of reshuffle our deck and get ready for Airdrie on Friday night and then our homeopener on Saturday.”

Stettler quarterback Stephen Zuk tossed scoring passes to Page and Kirk and completed five of 12 attempts for 65 yards. Darcy Gusek of the Rebels was the game’s top rusher, with 118 yards on 13 carries. In a Saturday contest, the Camrose Trojans scored a single point with one second
remaining to down the host Wetaskiwin Sabres 23-22. In Friday’s games at Red Deer, the Hunting Hills Lightning defeated the Notre Dame Cougars 59-6, while the Lindsay Thurber Raiders tied the H.J. Cody Lakers of Sylvan Lake 10-10. Elsewhere on Friday, the Lacombe Rams blanked Ponoka 57-0. The Wildcats invite the public to join them under the lights this Friday.
“For the first time in Stettler Wildcats’ history, we will be playing under the lights in our hometown,” said manager Patty Steen. “We will also be hosting a tailgate party prior to the (7 p.m.) game, starting at 5:30 with hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks and chips for sale. All proceeds go toward the Wildcats. “Our players will be passing the helmet during the tailgate party in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Soicety.”

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT — Wildcat Corner
Wildcats on an honour roll; sports aplenty CHASE ROSLAND Independent reporter William E. Hay’s awards night will take place Oct. 11 from 7:30 till 8:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Centre. All of the students who received an honour award from last year are invited to attend the honours breakfast at the Stettler community hall Oct. 8 at 7 a.m. The high school will be showing Back to the 80’s. The production will run from Nov. 20 to 23 for the public to enjoy. Last June, the William E. Hay gay straight alliance club (GSA) — alliance being the important word — held its first meeting, after months of planning. The GSA club is for everyone who believes in acceptance and wants to promote and stand for equality for everyone. The club meets every Tuesday at lunch. Last week, Ms. Stayura’s Bio 20 classes got the opportunity to dissect fetal pigs, as part of a science experiment. William E. Hay’s French club had its first meeting last Monday. The group members went over various topics to plan their trip to London and Paris. The group departs in March for the week of spring break. Volleyball Last Wednesday, the senior boys’ Wildcats hosted Lacombe in their season home-opener. The play was tight, with Lacombe winning in the final set 16-14. The game started out with a close set. The Wildcats won the first set in extra points 28-26. They lost the second and third sets, but came back and won the fourth set 25-23. “The team was showing great unity,” said Wildcats coach Jefferson McClung. Wildcats captain Braden Deagle was a strong player at the net, with a number of
powerful attacks. The MVP of the game went to the Wildcats’ Alden Mueller for showing his skill with strong attacks, great coverage and good passes. Last week, the Wildcat senior and JV girls played H.J. Cody (the Sylvan Lake Lakers). The senior Wildcats lost three of four sets. The JV Wildcats lost three of four close-scoring sets. The score was 25-18 in one match and 25-22 in the other two matches. “The girls played their hearts out,” said Stettler coach Corinne Stephenson. “H.J. Cody is a club team, so we are very proud of (the Wildcats) for coming so close in each match.” On the weekend, the JV boys’ and girls’ teams played in a tournament in Rocky Mountain House. The JV boys placed first in the Rocky event, while the JV girls tied for third. The Wildcat senior boys travelled to New Norway on the weekend for a tourney. The Wildcats took home third place and were involved in some competitive games. Stettler’s Jade Chapman won MVP for his great passes and digs on the backcourt. In the end, the Wildcats
lost a chance at the finalist position to Coronation. This Monday, the Stettler boys hosted Ponoka. “It was a tough loss,” said coach McClung. Rookie Jade Chapman again earned MVP honours for Stettler. Chapman was recognized “for his consistency with the passes and defence on the back row,” McClung said.

Cross-country The William E. Hay cross-country runners participated in the Spartan invitational hosted by New Norway high school last Thursday. “My wish for any runner is to cross the finish line upright and smiling,” said Wildcats coach Lorrie Stayura. “Those who ran in Wetaskiwin last weekend all improved immensely and those making their first major mark on the running scene performed well.” Grade 9 student Alyssa Henderson placed third in her race. Max McHollister of Grade 9 and Alicia Nibourg of Grade 11 placed in the top 15, and senior Corey Garbutt finished 16th. Nikita Lachowsky of Grade 11 “ran her first race ever,” coach Stayura said.

Melda ‘Millie’ Irene Woods (Stewart) passed away in Stettler Alberta, September 18th, 2013 at the age of 76 years. The youngest of seven children, she was born to Milton and Emma Stewart on March 23, 1937. She grew up on a farm near Erskine and attended school there as well. Living on a farm formed Millie’s love for all animals, but she was especially fond of her horse and rabbits, a love that stayed with her for her entire life. When she was old enough, one of her first jobs was waitressing at a restaurant in Erskine. It was here that she met Bob Woods. They became husband and wife on June 15th, 1956 and had three children together, Leonard, Brenda and Ronald. After living various places they finally settled in Big Valley and called it home. Through the kid’s younger years, Millie was a stay at home mom. As the kids grew older she gradually returned back to the workforce, dabbling in bartending, working in the local grocery store, catering and cleaning. Over the years she was blessed with nine grandchildren and one great grandchild. A loving grandmother, she always made time for her family and will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet her. Millie is predeceased by her parents, Milton and Emma Stewart, husband Bob, infant brother Melvin, brothers Marvin and Alvin and sister Leona. She leaves to mourn her children: Len (Cindy) Woods, Brenda Woods, Ronald (Cheryl) Woods, nine grandchildren: Brandi Woods, Ryan (Ashley) Woods, Joshua Woods, Catrina Dubitz, Nicholas Dubitz (Shea), Chantel Dubitz (Stefan), Dakota Wilson, Kyler Wilson (Liz), Kaleigh-Rae Wilson, great grandson Jacob Woods, brothers Howard (Janet) Stewart, Arnold (Marilyn) Stewart, other family members and many dear friends. Funeral services were held at the Big Valley Community Hall on Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 11:00 AM with Reverend Ross Helgeton officiating. Tributes were given by Cindy Woods and Nora Saar read wonderful memories of Millie by Biff Balcom. Musical selection My Wayfaring Stranger was presented by Lori Gordon, Robyn Armstrong and Lynda Thurston and they accompanied for the hymn Amazing Grace. The family recessed from the hall to I’ll Fly Away by Alan Jackson. Interment took place at the Big Valley Cemetery as Millie was laid to rest beside her beloved Bob, with son Ron Woods as Pallbearer. Honorary Pallbearers were All Those That Touched Millie’s Heart.
