Conquering fear of heights has Stettler man soaring for 30 years STACEY LAVALLIE WEEKENDER REPORTER For a fellow who admits to having had a fear of heights, John Wittwer’s passions took him far above the ground. Wittwer, who was recognized this summer by the Stettler Flying Club for his long years of volunteer service at the Stettler Airport, said flying wasn’t something he always “wanted to do.� In fact, heights made him rather uncomfortable. He came to Canada in 1927 at the age of four, following his father, who had immigrated a yearand-a-half earlier. His mother brought him and his siblings along, and then across the prairies, to join his father on the farm. “Canada was new then,� Wittwer, now 92, said. “Some of these pioneers put up with real hardships, especially the girls.� Wittwer grew up on the prairies, becoming Canadian through-andthrough, and a prairie boy to boot. He farmed, he ranched, alongside his family and then, as he grew older, on his own and with his own family. “I started flying in 1960, at the age of 57,� Wittwer
recalled. “We had pastureland, we had cattle. It was a way to check on them. Then, I started crop-dusting my crops. A lot of farmers would ask me to come do theirs.� That’s how Wittwer found his second career, as a crop-duster. “I did flight training right here in Stettler,� he said. “We had 25 hours of instruction, then we’d write an exam.� There was a flight school in the community, with an instructor who would come down from Wetaskiwin to teach, he remembered. “The instructor died in an accident when the wing of a self-built plane sheared off during a loop,� Wittwer said, explaining that the flight maneuver performed by the pilot had simply stressed the plane beyond its ability. “He was a character. He really was.� It took Wittwer several years to make the decision to fly. “Height bothered me,� he admitted. “But it wasn’t so bad with wings beneath me. I didn’t learn to fly for fun, I decided to do it just for the need ot it.� At a certain point, height stopped bothering Wittwer.

Stettler Flying Club president Cam Andres, left, shakes hand with long-time member John Wittwer. The club recognized Wittwer’s long volunteer efforts with the club at the annual Fly-in Breakfast by presenting a plaque unofficially renaming the airport to the John Wittwer Field. “I respect heights,� he explained. “But as time went on, I got over it. But I just flew. I never got into acrobatics or fancy flying.� After getting his flying licence, it took several years to get a plane. At first, he was in a partnership, owning a plane along with three other
people. As his crops and herd sold, and he made money from crop-dusting, Wittwer was able to buy his own plane, then planes. One of those planes was a Piper Cub, which he just recently sold, parting with it for the first time since he purchased it. The plane
featured prominently in his life — two of his grandsons are now pilots, and took some of their earliest flights in that plane. “I chose to sell because I quit flying,� Wittwer explained. “I gave up my licence on Dec. 17, 2011.� He said he gave up his licence when he did be-
cause he didn’t want to come to a point where it had to be taken away from him. He doesn’t regret giving it up, or miss flying very much, though he still enjoys time at the airport. When the Stettler Flying Club formed, Wittwer joined up. As he got older and retired more and more from farming, he was able to dedicate more time to volunteering at the airport, helping keeping the grass mowed, the runway lights in working order and the snow and ice cleared away. “I started with the club right at the start, even before it was an official club,� he recalled. “No one seems to remember when it became official. The air strip was in the area of the RCMP building then.� Eventually the airport moved to its current location, and since then has been operated by a board of volunteers, which includes people from both the County of Stettler and Town of Stettler. Wittwer is part of the board, though he noted the time has come to step down, as his hearing has continued to worsen and he can’t hear very well nowadays. continued on page 2

Planning to sell or transition your farm or small business in the near future? The aging of our farm and small business owners in Alberta highlight the urgent need for many to get started into the sale or succession planning process. This or be forced to as a result of accident, sickness, disability or death over the next 5 to 10 years. Here’s some food for thought about
the potential negative consequences in delaying the process. Consider that with today’s ever increasing land values, the embedded capital gains tax liability also increases when sold or transferred to the next generation. As of now, farmers have access to $1 million of

individual lifetime capital gains exemption to help soften the tax hit when going through this process. Small business owners have $813,600 at this time, with the lifetime exemption available to individuals on the sale of unincorporated farm or small business assets, or on shares of qualified Canadian small business corporations. As with all government programs, this exemption allowance comes with a number of rules and conditions attached. But when sufficient time is allowed to enable one’s financial advisors to develop and implement the needed planning strategies, it can ensure the eventual sale or transfer takes place in a tax effective manner. To aid in this process, Canadians farms and small businesses have a range of options, including different ownership structures ranging from sole proprietorship through partnership arrangements, incorporating, setting up holding

companies, family trusts, etc. In order for corporations to qualify for the lifetime capital gains exemption there are a number of complex tests to be met. Essentially they need to have the right “asset mix” at time of disposition and in the two years prior to sale, plus be subject to a holding period test. With the sale come things such as claw back of OAS payments and the potential to be assessed with the alternative minimum tax. As to which is the best structure, it comes down to the needs of each individual or family, the na-
ture of their business, the likelihood of success of the business, and the potential tax benefit verses the costs involved with each option. Long-term success depends on allowing sufficient time to set up such things as a holding company or family trust. In dealing with farm and small business families over the last 18 years, several issues come to mind that can delay or complicate the process. Farmers tend to dislike paperwork, paying taxes or professional fees. Many also find it difficult talking about sale or suc-
cession issues with their families. It’s getting better with time as more families realize the importance of discussing and planning for the eventual sale or roll-over, but most need someone who has an intimate understanding of their issues and needs to quarterback the process, co-ordinating the accounting, legal, tax, banking and other professionals. This person can also help keep lines of communication open through what can be a lengthy process. It’s better to start sooner than later. It’s also important to find someone who has experience in the process to successfully steer your farm or small business sale or rollover. In the end, the final goal is for the whole family to be able to get together for a meal at occasions such as Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas without any acrimony or hard feelings.
Conquering fear of heights has Stettler man soaring for 30 years continued from front page “I’ve been saying I’m going to quit for years,” he noted with a laugh. “The airport’s been good to me, so my gratitude, I show it through my volunteer work.” And the Flying Club appreciates him. Renaming airports is a lot of work, involving both provincial and federal bodies, so while the airport is still officially the Stettler Airport, to those of the Flying Club, it’s the John Wittwer
Field. The presentation of the plaque, which will hang at the airport, happened at the annual Labour Day Fly-In Breakfast. It was a wonderful way to mark three decades of volunteer labour and love at the airport, daughter Cindy Lovell said. For Wittwer, though, it was just a responsibility, albeit one he loved, and continues to love. “There was a need,” he concluded. “It just came naturally.”

next year. As it stands now, 17 per cent of small businesses intend to hire over that period.” The Lendified Index is the result of polling Canadian small businesses with fewer than 20 employees. Online interviews were conducted between September 18 and 19, 2015, using Vision Critical’s B2B Aeroplan® Pa n e l . André Turcotte, Ph.D., Associate Professor at Carleton University’s School of Journalism and Communications University, managed the project. Wright said, “As it relates to business financing, the polling results clearly highlight the fast pace at which small business people need to operate their business. Their personal credit card is the most easily accessible – if expensive – way to maintain cash flow when operating at that speed. And in the case of a business loan from a bank, it can take up to eight weeks if a business qualifies.
That’s far too slow to meet the cash flow and management needs of a small business operator.” The key findings show that small businesses in Canada are: • Facing significant challenges: More than 7 in 10 small businesses are not growing – 38 per cent with no growth and 31 per cent are declining or struggling. • Worried about growth and money: The single greatest concerns of small business people, in order, are acquiring new customers, managing cash flow, and paying taxes. Businesses with less than $50,000 in annual revenue and more than $500,000 have the greatest worries about cash flow. • Using their personal credit cards to finance their business: More than any other form of credit, small business people use their personal credit cards to manage their day-to-day business needs. Seven percent of small business
people are maxed out on their personal credit cards. Forty-three percent have three or more credit cards. Those in business less than five years are more likely to use credit and be at their credit maximum • Using all forms of credit available to manage their business: The order of preference for sources or credit are: personal credit card (48 per cent); business credit card (32 per cent); personal line of credit (23 per cent), business line of credit (21 per cent); creditor other than a bank (4 per cent) • Maintaining current staffing levels: Only 17 per cent of small business people intend to hire new staff this year, with 81 per cent maintaining current staffing levels. Just 3 per cent intend to lay off staff. • If growing, mostly in start-up companies: Smaller businesses with less revenue and shorter times in business are more likely to begrowing.

A recent national poll of 350 small businesses in Canada has revealed that their owners have three main worries; acquiring new customers, maintaining current customers, and managing cash flow. Published in the first-ever Lendified Canadian Small Business Index (The Lendified Index), the poll also found that 7 in 10 small businesses were either not growing or in decline. As well, 48 per cent of business owners either rely on their personal lines of credit or use them regularly to manage cash flow. The Lendified Index is published by Lendified. com, an online lender that is wholly focused on lending working capital to small businesses in Canada. “Small business owners are the heart and soul of the Canadian economy,” said Troy Wright, Founder and CEO of Lendified.com. “We created The Lendified Index to help us better understand their needs, their worries, and how to best support them.

Keep Halloween fun safe According to statistics, children are likely to be injured from falling accidents on Halloween night four times more than any other night. Stands to reason? Improperly fitted costumes, masks that block vision and hearing, and children crowded together, pushing, in a hurry to get to the next house. There are basic safety tips that can insure your family has a safe Halloween night. And since Halloween is up there in the top five most magical and exciting holidays, it’s a good idea for parents to know what to say to their children about safety. But don’t wait until Halloween night to spring all these safety tips on them. Because of the excitement of the night, the sugar they may have consumed before going out, and the natural ability of children to tune adults out, you may want to begin addressing this issue long before then. It?s easy to sneak in a safety tip here and there throughout the week before. It can be spooky out there With a few simple rules,
your children can be safe. A large variety of costume can be found online from Indiana Jones to a scary pirate. Perhaps your trickor-treater would like to be Tinkerbell or a Christmas Angel. Costumes are one leading cause of accidents during this holiday, which can be alleviated by making sure the costume doesn’t drag the ground. By allowing the child to wear the costume before the big night, you can check to see if it needs hemming. And above all else, check the label and make sure it’s either “flame retardant” or “flame resistant”. Polyester is generally the best choice of material for the costume since cotton has a tendency to burn quickly. Other safety measures include making sure your child’s mask is easy to see out of and there are no sharp items being carried that can cause injury when falling. Have your child carry a flashlight, even if you?re going out with them, or one of the many glow sticks available. By going with children you are insuring their safety, but when you can?t, al-
ways make sure children travel in a group and there is someone old enough to supervise. It’s a ghoulish thought, but accidents happen Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere, but on Halloween night they are much more likely to happen for a variety of reasons. Shoes that match the costume are not always a good idea, especially if these shoes are hard to walk in, wobbly, or too elevated. A safe shoe to wear for tramping door to door on this dark and scary night would be tennis shoes. Explain to the little Princess that she can wear her shiny high heels during play time around the house, or paint her white tennis shoes with sparkly glitter and other decorations. Halloween etiquette? It’s always a good idea to teach children proper etiquette, but for Halloween it’s a must, and it’s a good idea to discuss this with your children before Halloween night. Remind them about sharing and making sure they don’t crowd to the front of the line and push

fellow trick-or-treaters. Shoving causes accidents. Keep the excitement down by not allowing them sugar treats before they leave the house. And above all else: No candy consumed until they get home to have it inspected. For older children who will be trick-or-treating without parents, make sure there is a curfew set, or better yet, make sure those older children check in with you periodically so you know their safe. A kick off to the holiday season Some people look at Halloween as the kick off to the holidays. Although the old fashioned Halloween consists of going door to door, in some towns around the country, it is becoming a celebration where streets are blocked off and trick-or-treaters go only to the merchants to get their loot. Merchants are open late and kids line the streets in a parade of fashion, often having a photographer on hand to take pictures, and parents can feel better about knowing their kids are safe. More often than not, this merchant Halloween
trend seems to be a growing craze, perhaps started due to the scares of earlier times; razor blazes in apples, and poison in candy. Granted there is some dark stuff out there, but for the most part, legends of the past are just that, legends. And as long as we know that are kids are safe, in the above mentioned ways, we can relax and observe it as what it is, a fun holiday. Pumpkins are fun and have smiling faces What would Halloween be without carved pumpkins? It’s fun to sit down with the children, dig the guts out of a hand-picked pumpkin and carve the face of your choice. But remember, a candle-lit pumpkin on the porch, or dangerously placed, can be hazardous. Avoid these injuries. Place the lit pumpkin away from where the child will stand waiting for candy. A child walking up to the porch with a frilly outfit on will unlikely pay attention to a burning pumpkin and may get to near the fire. It’s probably best to burning candles in the house or high enough where it would be impossible for a
child to come in contact with it. Talk to your kids about the hazards of burning jack-o-lanterns and lit up decorations. Halloween isn’t just for kids Adults and kids alike are drawn to the magic of “All Hallows’ Day” or “All Saints Day” as it was called in the past. There is much history on this day, Oct. 31, and plenty of celebrations for young and old, such as hay rides, horror movies, haunted houses, and costume parties. Make up your own traditions and pass them on to your children. Originally, Halloween began as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain. There are many versions of the traditions of Halloween. But no matter how you celebrate it, keep it safe for yourself and your children. Remember the safety tips, and avoid injuries this Halloween season. This is a magical night to remember, one that can be free of injuries, but full of haunting memories that will stay with you. Have a safe and healthy Halloween. Enjoy the night!

THE WEEKENDER 5
A book for Hollywood enthusiasts Whatever does she see in him? That may be something you wonder while glancing at the tabloids at the grocery store. What is it about him that she likes, or vice versa? Either way, the answer eludes you but, as in the new book “Frank & Ava” by John Brady, full explanations could be an impossible dream. When 18-year-old Ava Gardner stepped off the Manhattan-to-LosAngeles train one summer day in 1941, she was green as spring grass: her entire knowledge of Hollywood had come from fan-mags. She didn’t even smoke or drink; she was just a good girl from North Carolina, a beauty whose new career was launched by a portrait in a photography-studio window. Before she left New York for Hollywood, Gardner had “playfully” said she was going to marry the “biggest movie star in the world” and, unbelievably, six months later, she became Mrs. Mickey Rooney. That marriage lasted less than a year, as did her second marriage to bandleader Artie Shaw. When Frank Sinatra arrived in California in 1943, his star had been shining for quite some time: the singer “was everywhere,” and was the “highest-paid concert performer in the country,” having become famous with Tommy Dorsey, and then solo. He’d also acted in some “modestly successful films” but that summer, Hollywood shouted so he moved his wife and family west. It was an innocent time and Tinseltown still had a small-town feel; Sinatra worked at RKO at first, but Gardner ran into him on
TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER the MGM lot (and elsewhere) now and again and again, and by early 1947, they’d kindled something and were “dating” one another. He was still married. She continued to sleep around, as did he, while he worked to gain a divorce so he could marry Gardner in late 1951. They fought on the way to the altar; the battle continued after “I Do.” Still, when his career briefly faltered, she supported him and paid the bills. Years later, long after semi-amicable split, he returned the favor by paying for her funeral. Can’t live with him, can’t live without him? No doubt, you’ve heard that before so keep it in mind as you read “Frank & Ava” because nothing has ever been more apt. This is a love story, but not always. A tale of scandal, but more. Author John Brady allows just enough cattiness to make this bio humorous, but yet - I also saw resigned sadness in these pages, and that was a surprise. The other eyebrow-raiser, even in these tellall times, was the long, overly-long list of sleeparounds that Brady offers, which lends this story
a feel of sameness from page to page. That sometimes made me lose focus; the oft-occurring gossipy tidbits he dropped kept me coming back for more. While I ultimately got a lot out of it, I think “Frank & Ava” will resonate best with older readers or major fans of Old Hollywood. If that’s you, and you don’t mind a little repetition, then it’s a book you should see yourself reading. “Frank & Ava: In Love and War” by John Brady c.2015, Thomas Dunne Books $26.99 / $31.50 Canada 292 pages

To reduce child poverty, Canadian children need a champion LAURA STYMIEST ELIZABETH LEE-FORD JONES TROY MEDIA COLUMNISTS A young girl is referred to a paediatrician’s office for her inability to pay attention in the classroom. The child’s teacher is concerned she has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and possibly, a learning disability. I was a second year medical student working in the clinic at the time of her visit. As I made my way through her medical history, the child’s parents told me they were struggling to make ends meet. Despite their best efforts combined with collections from a nearby food bank, the little girl often went to school hungry. The problem seems clear: how could any child concentrate in the face of hunger? I am now paediatric resident, pursuing specialist training in the diagnosis and treatment of childhood illness, and I still can’t help but feel that some of the most complex needs of many of my patients stem from the constraints of poverty and not disease alone. Unfortunately, as physicians, my colleagues and I do not have the therapeutic tools necessary to “cure” the social conditions that so often impact the health of our patients. Beyond anecdotal confirmation, there is also strong evidence linking poverty to poor health outcomes for children: higher levels of mental illness, accidental injury, obesity, asthma, poor brain development and more. These problems have a cost that we all bear. When children are exposed to the toxic effects of poverty, the detrimental impacts can be felt for generations - and they impact entire communities. In 1989, the year I was born, the House of Commons vowed to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000. Twenty-six years later, Canada’s children are still suffering. Current data suggest that over half a million Canadian children live in low in-come house-
holds. Provincially and territorially, efforts to curb levels of child poverty have had variable success. Provinces like Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have significantly reduced levels of child poverty after introducing poverty reduction strategies that include enhanced early childhood education and child care. Conversely, in Manitoba where a poverty reduction strategy has been in place since 2009, levels of child poverty continue to be some of the highest in the country. The same rate holds true for British Columbia, the only province without a committed poverty reduction strategy. Without a coordinated effort and strong national leadership, we risk leaving too many children behind. The time has come for Canada to adopt a child poverty reduction strategy and to appoint a Commissioner for Children and Young Persons who will guarantee its success. If we succeed in making a federal commitment to our children, we stand to make real change. But a strategy without true accountability will put us no further ahead. Canada’s children need a non-partisan, independent, “advocate” or “champion” to represent their best interests. A Commissioner for Children and Young Persons could report on the status of children. It would ensure all sectors consider children in decision-making. A Commissioner for Children and Young Persons could also pro-
vide a framework of accountability for a federal commitment to eliminate child poverty. This is not a new concept to wealthy nations like Canada. Countries including Australia, Sweden and France have all established a point person or office representing the interests of the child. This concept is also well known to the Canadian government. After Canada ratified the UN convention on the Rights of the Child in 1991, efforts to establish a Commissioner for Canadian Children and Young Persons were made for more than a decade. Previous governmental reports have also produced recommendations for the appointment of a federal Commissioner Twice, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has called on Canada to establish an ombudsman’s office. In 2009 and again in 2012, Parliamentarians’ introduced bills proposing the appointment of a Commissioner. Despite this, we have yet to muster the political will to establish formal representation for Canadian children. The need for a national champion for children is clear. Will our future leaders heed the call? Laura Stymiest is a paediatrics resident at Dalhousie University. She previously completed training at the Coady International Institute and has been involved in research in the area of Social Paediatrics. Elizabeth Lee-Ford Jones is an expert advisor with EvidenceNetwork.ca, and Professor of Paediatrics at The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto.

How to lower blood-sugar levels without medication Diabetes is a disorder in which the body cannot properly store and use the energy found in food. To be more specific, diabetes compromises the body’s ability to use glucose. According to M e d i L e x i c o n International, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body wrongly identifies and then attacks pancreatic cells, which causes little to no insulin production. Those with type 1 diabetes usually must rely on insulin shots to remain healthy. Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production and is the more common form of diabe-
tes. The pancreas may still produce insulin, but not enough to meet the demands of the body. Insulin resistance occurs in some cases because a consistent high blood-glucose level causes cells to be overexposed to insulin and then makes cells less responsive or immune to its effects. Diabetes treatment can include a combination of strategies, including the following nondrug remedies. • Diet: Diabetics can work with their doctors and nutritionists to come up with a diet that will be most effective. Some advocate for eating foods that are low in carbohydrates or ones with a low

glycemic index. Others say that it is more important to restrict caloric intake rather than sugar intake. Work with a professional to create a healthy diet and follow it as closely as possible. Eat meals at the same time each day so you can better regulate blood-sugar spikes and lulls. Skipping meals may cause you to overeat later in the day, which can throw glucose levels off-kilter. • Exercise: Many people with type 2 diabetes are carrying around extra weight. Exercise can help them shed pounds and maintain healthier weights. But exercise does more than just help you lose weight. The Joslin Diabetes Centre says strength training exercises are an important component of workouts. By maintaining lean muscle mass, you can get rid of a larger amount of glucose in the bloodstream, thus helping manage diabetes in the process. Get at least 20 to 30 minutes of moderate activity several days per week. • Supplementation:
Some people find that certain natural ingredients can help regulate blood-sugar levels. For example, pure, organic apple cider vinegar taken over time can help people with diabetes manage their
