SCHOOLS Gus Wetter salutes class of 2014 Page 4
Thursday, May 29, 2014
This year’s graduates from William E. Hay Composite High School in Stettler were still in elementary school when they learned an important life lesson — to read the fine print. Students — and teachers, too — had to pay close attention to notice that there was just the slightest difference in spelling the names of classmates Kennedy Fisher and Kennidy Fisher. It’s been that way since Grade 5, when Kennidy moved to Stettler from Sexsmith (near Grande Prairie) and joined Kennedy and company at Stettler Elementary School. Seven years later, the Fisher girls are among 127 graduates in the William E. Hay class of 2014, and it’s still necessary to distinguish between those two 18-year-olds with virtually the same name. At the graduation exercises last Saturday night at the Stettler Recreation Centre, they were introduced as “Kennedy Fisher with an E” and “Kennidy Fisher with an I.” Although the similarity piqued the interest of the full house in the transformed arena Saturday, the name-game oddity has been the reality for the Fisher girls for most of their school years. It caused confusion, and more than a few laughs, they said. Students, of course, don’t always communicate with correct spellings in mind, especially in a social-media world that promotes shortcuts, and at a high school that routinely abbreviates the first

name of its namesake. The Fisher quiz might have been more of a challenge for the girls’ teachers. “Oh yeah,” Kennedy confirmed after the grand march. “I can’t even count the number of assignments that I got back where I would say, ‘This isn’t mine. It’s hers. Get it right.’ Even our report cards, one time, got switched. I was, like, ‘This isn’t mine.’ “And even I find sometimes in the newspaper, they’ll spell my name like her name, or vice-versa, and I’ll be, like, ‘What? I didn’t do that.’ Our teachers, they’ll call the wrong Kennedy (or Kennidy) down to the office. Just little things like that. It was so cute. “It’s so rare that you have (matching) names like this and you’re not related, but it’s so cool, because now we’re best friends and it’s really awesome. All of it.” Hair colour was one way that students and teachers verbally distinguished between the Fisher girls — the blond-haired Kennidy and the brown-haired Kennedy. “Since I moved here in Grade 5, we’ve always been known as Kennidy with an I or Kennedy with an E, or Kennidy with the blond or Kennedy with the brown,” said Kennidy, this year’s student union president. “She wasn’t in the same class as me (and) we didn’t really talk to each other, at first. In Grade 6, we were running for the student convenor for the middle school student council, so we didn’t really like each other then, because we were going against each other. But we’re actually really close

friends now, going into the end of high school.” Kennedy said it might have taken the girls a while to get to know each other, but they eventually became buddies. “I know we ran against each other for social convenor in Grade 6, and she won and I lost, but that didn’t make me hate her or anything,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “But no, there’s never been really any rivalry, because we haven’t really been in the same class, and we both do different sports, so it’s separate lives kind of thing. “I knew more of her, in the beginning. Like, we’d cross paths and say, ‘Hey, we have the same name.’ But as we got older, we kind of grew closer. It was cool to grow closer to her, not just for the name thing, but because she’s an awesome person, as well.” The Fishers and their fellow graduates radiated enthusiasm as they posed for photos on a crowded floor after the formal ceremonies Saturday. The girls with the same name don’t play the same games — it’s mostly soccer for Kennedy and hockey and school sports for Kennidy — but their differences mirror the diversity of the class of 2014. “We were kind of exact opposites, actually,” Kennidy said. “She hates hockey and I play hockey. And I hate soccer and she plays soccer. “It’s always been different sports, but we’ve always been the same academic kind of way. We both liked English and social. That’s kind of where we met. In Grade 10, we became better friends when we shared science class together.” Turn to Two sets, Pg 2

Two sets of twins Cont’d from Pg 1 It’s a unique graduation class that includes two sets of twins — Adam and Scott Ternes and Destiny and Kayleigh Croker. All of those kids are athletes, too. The Crokers were provincial medallists in senior high school badminton, and the Ternes twins made headlines as part of a high-scoring junior B hockey line, along with fellow graduate Dylan Houston. “I think that people would be more confused with (the twins), because they’re actually identical, whereas Kennidy and I, we’re not really identical, so I guess they could tell us apart,” said a smiling Kennedy. As the graduates make posthigh school plans, the Fisher
girls are going their separate ways. Kennedy intends to study nursing at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Kennidy and fellow graduates Alisha Coules and Kelsey Hallett are bound for Australia in the fall to experience travel and work next winter. Jordan Bauman delivered a smooth valedictory address in a ceremony that included musical, comedic and heartfelt presentations from multiple students in a program aptly themed, “I’m On My Way.” Among the graduates were Cole Bailey, son of departing Clearview School Division superintendent John Bailey, and Nicholas Baharally, son of longtime William E. Hay principal Norbert Baharally.

Consort teacher loss to go ahead — board John MacNeil
Review Reporter The planned layoff of a popular young teacher at Consort School has evoked strong opposition in the community, but the Prairie Land Regional Division voted last week to uphold its original decision. At the school board’s monthly meeting last Wednesday, district superintendent Dr. Wes Neumeier and trustees Barry Davis (Altario/Consort) and Holli Smith (Berry Creek) agreed that while they empathize with the community’s concerns, it wouldn’t be prudent to reverse plans to eliminate the half teaching position. Morrin trustee Lyle Cawiezel reiterated that the board would be overstepping its bounds if it were to change a budget decision derived from due process and research. Neumeier, Davis and Smith all described “a lot” of input from community and school representatives as genuine and valid, recognizing the innovative and community-minded teacher as an asset to Consort School. They said, however, that they respected the need to make the cut. Davis wondered what kind of message is
sent to other young teachers who are encouraged to return to the area for employment, only to face such uncertainty about job stability. He asked whether the teacher in the Consort case might be considered for another position in another community nearby. Neumeier advised that such opportunities might exist elsewhere, but that the board would still need to follow proper hiring guidelines in filling potential openings. “We’re looking to support our staff,” he said. “We get transfer requests a lot, as well, and we always try to consider those transfer requests when we’re hiring. But it’s within the hiring process that we consider those requests. “So with this particular situation, we will consider an application for any jobs that come up within the area, and give that application some priority, because that’s a staff member we have within our own district already. “You have to use proper staffing and labour relations guidelines for making these kinds of decisions.”

Review reporter A multi-use resource centre for Clive just got a little closer to reality after Lacombe County council voted in favour of giving the group $95,000 for the project. The Clive Multi-use Resource Centre will house Neighborhood Place, a community program space for both youth, as well as adults, and the public library. “That’s amazing,” said Louise Bell, chairperson of the Neighborhood Revitalization Association, after Lacombe County’s regular meeting May 22. The group had only asked for $77,000. The Clive Multi-use Resource Centre Partnership plans to buy the Fire Hall Catering building for $220,000. With renovations, installing Supernet, remodeling and tax, the total cost is $286,000. The group plans to apply for about $90,000 in grant funding through the Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP). They received $30,000 from an anonymous donor, $10,000 from Agri-spirit fund, $2,000 from the Gord Bamford Foundation, $3,000 from Ember Resources, $5,000 from Dow, $5,000 from
on plans to modernize J.C. Charyk School in Hanna. “We’ve had a lot of consultations with the community and we have all the documentation for the architects to consider,” Neumeier said. “We’ll work with them to draw up a concept, and then we’ll meet with the community to review the concept drawings. “We’ve met with the community, talked about what the priorities are, and what we want to see in the facility. We’ve gone and visited a number of modernized facilities, and we’re excited about the possibilities
ME Global, $1,000 from DB Bobcat, $10,000 from the Village of Clive and $4,400 from fundraising efforts. Coun. Barb Shepherd suggested the county increase the amount from $77,000 to $95,000 in case they don’t get the CFEP grant. The Village of Clive agreed to waive property taxes for the proposed multi-use facility, as well as provide water, sewer, garbage, snow removal, yard maintenance, recycling and administrative support at no cost. “Clive is not in position to contribute significant capital dollars,” said Tim Timmons, manager of corporate services for the county, adding they do, howe1ver, “remain committed to the operational aspect of the facility.” Turn to Waives, Pg 8

that exist. We’re reworking the facility so that it fits the learning program. “We’re looking at alternative programs for students — having the academic in place, but also supporting the CTS (Career and Technology Studies) programs better. We’re looking at better support for things like media studies, so building different centres of study within the school.” For more news from the May 21 board meeting, see next week’s edition of the Review.

Doctor prescribes ‘great things’ for Gus Wetter graduates John MacNeil
Review Reporter
sonalized account of each graduate. “One of the best things in growing up in the small-town atmosphere is everybody knows everybody. You can always count on a friendly hello.” Hronek said the Gus Wetter students have grown together and supported each other, especially after losing one of their own last fall in Sean Thieleman. “We all take for granted the depth of the relationships we have made,” she said. “Each of us on the stage has walked this long road together. “After the hardship we faced last fall, losing a good friend, we’ve learned that no matter how hard a situation can be, we have one another to fall back on. We all have endured adversity, which has created a bond that will hopefully carry with us on our journey.” Musical entertainment from Jillian Schaffner, Veronica Weber, Max Schaffner and graduate Thecia Wiart complemented a program that included a video presentation produced by graduate Maisie Freerksen, the invocation from Barbara Zimmerman, a welcome from Freerksen, and thank-you wishes from Hronek and fellow graduate Amberly Hepp. The chairpersons were Savannah Kuefler and Clinton Schulmeister. For more photos from the Gus Wetter ceremony, see the graduation supplement in the June 5 edition of the East Central Alberta Review.
One year into her job as a Castor family physician, Dr. Siobhan Murphy stepped onto the Gus Wetter School stage last Friday night to give 25 graduating students a prescription for success. Dr. Murphy, the commencement guest speaker, embraced the theme of the ceremony, “Success is a Journey.” She told the class of 2014 to not only be ambitious, but to be enthusiastic at the same time. “I think that’s the big thing for me,” she said in an interview after the formal program and before the grand march. “There’s ambition, which is a super Dr. Murphy quality, but there’s also enthusiasm, which is a much better quality, because when you’re enthusiastic about things and you’re excited about things, that’s when you succeed. “That’s what we hope for these guys — that they can grasp on to that enthusiasm for life and make something of it.” Compared to the tight-knit Gus Wetter senior class, Dr. Murphy was among 160 graduates at her high school in Waterford, Ireland, in 2000. “A totally different experience,” she said. But she likened her upbringing — as the fifth child among eight siblings — to the dynamics of living in a small town like Castor. 2012 Chevrolet “Small-town life and big families aren’t that dissimilar, in the sense that everyone 1/2 Ton C/C LT 2012 Equinox knows everyone, everyone is looking out 49,000km LT AWD for each other, there’s compromise, there’s Leather 92,500 kms competition, there’s everything,” Dr. Murphy said. 2009 GMC 1/2 Ton She moved to Castor a year ago with her SLT Crew Cab husband. 2011 Chevrolet Loaded, 171,000km “It was a pretty good decision,” she said.

Stettler raises taxes three per cent for 2014 in ‘status quo’ budget Lisa Joy
Review reporter Homeowners will have to dig a tad deeper into their pockets after the Town of Stettler raised taxes by three per cent for 2014. That translates into an extra $32 a year for a home valued at $265,140, and $38 more for water, sewer and garbage. Mayor Dick Richards said it’s “pretty much a status quo type of budget,” with a little increase to allow the “service our residents have grown to expect, while at the same time remaining below the taxation average in both residential and non-residential compared to communities our size in Alberta.” Likewise, Coun. Darcy Bachman called it a fair budget. “We as a council always look at the impact that any increase will affect our residents, as well as still giving services that people expect from a town the size of Stettler.” Bachman said the three per cent residential increase and four per cent non-residential tax increase will add $968,660 to the city’s coffers for capital purposes. Coun. Karen Sernecky also said the
slight increase was necessary. “After a long discussion, we together as a group came to the decision that an increase in taxes would be the best way to continue the good quality of life that we have provided for our residents up until now,” she said. “We are very excited to continue providing these services for many years to come. I feel that financially we have made a good move into the future of Stettler.” Coun. Malcolm Fischer said it’s always a balancing act trying to keep taxes down and services maintained. “Over time, roads, sewer and water services, for example, have to be maintained and in most cases improved. All are very expensive. “Stettler has kept pace with all this and not gotten behind, which if allowed to happen only creates far greater expense.” Stettler’s municipal tax rates compares with other communities, said Fischer. “Stettler is about the middle of the pack on that front in both residential and nonresidential. We are proud to note, however, that our services and facilities are the envy of many centres our size and larger.” He added that’s the result of sound money management and prudent
spending now and in the past. Fischer said council could have opted for a zero per cent increase, but that would have meant higher spending in the future to keep up services. “We like the alternative of prudence and careful planning better.” Coun. Will Brown said that being new on council, he found the tax increase challenging, but recognized the need to keep up with inflation and provide the level of service. “Administration brought us several options and gave us the opportunity to see the impact on various homes and businesses in our community,” he said. “The new tax rate minimizes the impact to our community but still helps us provide the high quality of life that we aim for.” Non-residential taxes will go up by four per cent. The combined increases will generate about $5 million for the municipality and $2.3 million for education and housing, said chief administrative officer Greg Switenky. The 2014 operation budget is $14 million and increases to $16 million when adding
education and housing. Property values increased by four per cent this year, or $29 million. The tax increase will add $158,000 from current taxpayers and another $133,000 from new construction. In total, the town will collect about $5 million for municipal purposes and $2.3 million for education and housing. The education tax has had a huge impact on property taxes with an additional $33,000 to be paid this year, said Swentky in his report. Funding for many services and programs were kept to the status quo, with Family and Community Support Services getting $163,690, the handi-bus $20,000, the museum $26,000, physician recruitment $22,500, Heartland Beautification $38,000 and Heartland Youth Centre $40,000. The cost of business licenses went up $25 to $150 a year, which is what they cost in 1999. The town is committed to continuing to enhance RCMP funding to support peak periods and local initiatives, Switneky told council in his report.

Doctors, pharmacists, and nurses - your entire health care team need a complete medication list: prescribed medications, inhalers, patches, ointments, eye drops, vitamins, supplements - and even those gummy vitamins. Your (and your child’s) MedList helps the team to provide the safest treatment.
If it’s on the list, it won’t be missed!
Before hypnosis I was fat, bored and lacking energy. I chose hypnosis over surgery as I have friends who have had the surgery who have had both positive and negative results…but for me at this time in my life I did not want to take a chance with surgery. For me this was the safest way. With the hypnosis session for Laparoscopic Gastric Band Hypnotic Surgery I now have the
suggestions and hypnotic tools to make myself feel full instantly with the touch of my fingers, to the point where I feel so overfull I feel nauseated and no longer interested in food. I use this tool if I think I am needing a snack or if I am in the middle of a meal and I know I have had enough, I just use my hypnotic tool and I feel very full instantly. This helps me leave food on my plate.
Since hypnosis I feel better about myself and these sessions gave me a positive outlook on how I can be thinner. I don’t snack and I am getting more exercise. I keep telling myself to move more and I do. I also have incorporated positive affirmations into my daily life. - Barb J. ** results may vary

COMMENT
Nash one of a kind Many Canadians reminisced about a golden era of journalism last weekend after the death of legendary CBC-TV anchor Knowlton Nash. Nash brought the world to small towns and big cities at a time when many households still had just a few channels from which to choose. Folks didn’t need many other options when Nash delivered the news in a clear and concise fashion. He wasn’t a talking head. He knew his material, prompting analysts to describe him as a journalist’s journalist. - MacNeil

Coronation: Calgary’s garbage dump? Dear Editor: I would like to start this letter by posing a question to the community: Does Coronation want to be Calgary’s garbage dump? I pose this question because on May 9, 2014, the County of Paintearth issued a permit for a large expansion of the Coronation landfill to accommodate more garbage from cities such as Calgary. I doubt that many people in the community are aware of this development. For background for your readers; our ranch has leased the land immediately south and east of the landfill for almost 30 years, where we farm and graze cattle. The incredible amount of trash escaping the landfill’s property has been an ongoing problem for years and years. The operator appears to be more focused on collecting revenue from receiving garbage than controlling the negative impacts of their operation, which include escaping garbage, excessive gull populations, odour, and various other issues. This letter will get too long if I am to detail all of this landfill’s negative impacts, so I will focus on the escaped garbage. An incredible amount of garbage escapes from this landfill each year. Much of it lands on property we lease or own causing great inconvenience, risk (health, safety, and environment), expense, and frustration to us, our team,
and our livestock. Much of this trash continues on in the wind and comes to rest miles away in locations such as the Coronation cemetery, dam, campgrounds, golf course, and the yards of area residents. The operator always has a number of “good” reasons for the escaping garbage, but none are acceptable in my mind. The operator makes attempts to collect the escaped trash but it puts very little urgency or priority on this task. As a result, its neighbours and our community are exposed to an unsightly mess spread across thousands of acres putting our community and local environment at risk. Dealing with this issue has been a draining experience and has not yielded a long-term solution. Over the years, I have expressed my concerns to the operator’s local management, their corporate management in Ontario, to the county, to the RCMP, and to Alberta Environment; all with limited satisfaction. Any voluntary action by the operator, or action compelled by Alberta Environment, has been limited, short-lived, and generally underwhelming. I have no reason to believe the operator will act any differently in the future with this expansion. This site was originally developed to be a leading-edge recycling operation, but has morphed into an ugly, poorly-managed

dumping ground for big city garbage and contaminated soil. It is time for the community to determine whether a large commercial landfill fits in its vision of the future. The amount of garbage from Calgary has increased greatly, and will continue to increase, as the operator’s Calgary site has recently reached capacity. There are now dozens of loads of Calgary’s garbage coming to Coronation each day. The operator has to haul Calgary’s garbage 300 kilometres to Coronation, because in early 2013, the town of Blackie rejected this operator’s proposed dump in that community, which was to include a restored wetland, an educational centre, beautiful landscaping and a composting facility. Should Coronation receive the honour of being Calgary’s garbage dump without community input? I have filed an appeal to development permit #DP1405 and am awaiting a response from the County of Paintearth. I urge others to consider how this landfill impacts them and take appropriate action. Be aware that urgent action is required because once this expansion is fully permitted, we will be dealing with Calgary’s garbage for years to come.

Hanna shows gutsy effort with plans for charity walk John MacNeil
Review Reporter In the fight against diseases Crohn’s and Colitis, Hanna-and-area residents are taking a step in the right direction. The community hosts its first Gutsy Walk on Sunday, June 8, with proceeds going toward researching a cure for Crohn’s and Colitis. A couple of Hanna friends, Greg Banco and organizer Curtis Benedict, believed such a fundraising walk was appropriate for their hometown. “We both have Crohn’s disease,” said Banco, 33. “We went to kindergarten together, so we’ve been longtime friends. “Curtis has done a Crohn’s and Colitis walk in Medicine Hat, and we decided to
have one in town because there’s a lot of people with this disease in the town of Hanna and surrounding areas.” The noon walk at Hector King Hunter Park in Hanna is modelled after the national events staged annually through the efforts of M&M Meat Shops and Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada. “It’s a 5K,” Banco said. “They call it a walk, but it can be whatever you would like it to be … if you would like to bike the five kilometres, if you want to run it, or if you want to walk it. The majority of it, just because it is geared towards families, is a walk, but there are no restrictions. If you’d like to run, that’s kind of up to you. “Me and my family, we’re definitely going to go out and walk. Turn to Community, Pg 8

Time to get in shape For many golfers, the first days of spring are synonymous with getting in shape. Those of you who made the most of the winter to get or stay fit are ready to progressively start your usual routine. But, for the rest of us, it’s time to get down to work! Remember that your golf season should never start with just a few practice swings on the first tee-off. That’s a recipe for sore or even damaged muscles. The best approach is a training camp for golfers — they really do exist. A program designed by a professional will allow you to improve your flexibility, cardio conditioning, and endurance, among other things. Being in
good physical shape will show in your game and will reduce the risk of injury, mainly to the back, shoulders, and hips. This exercise program will pave the way to the next step, which is getting back in your rhythm with a golf club in your hands. You could also plan some indoor preparations. There are many places where it’s possible to practice your swing and hit a few balls. Professionals can also give you pointers to help you to get back into the swing of things. Here you will be able to prepare for the upcoming season with the help of
specialized equipment and the advice of a professional, who can analyze your movements and make corrections to your swing and posture. When the “real” season starts, a few sessions on the practice greens will be enough to get you back into your routine. Don’t forget that dedicating about ten minutes to stretching exercises before every round of golf will help you avoid injury.

We’re a town.” Mayor Stannard said “the whole point of our newsletter was to help struggling community groups.” Coun. Adams countered, though, that “there’s definitely stuff that should go in the newspaper.” Coun. Keith Griffiths said the newsletter was designed as a communications vehicle for local and non-profit groups, and that the practice
should continue. Kulyk said she spoke with one newsletter participant who said, “If I can’t have it in the newsletter, I can’t afford to put it in the paper.” Coun. Horkoff said the town must be careful which organizations meet the non-profit or community criteria. “There are groups that can’t afford to rent the hall, but we don’t subsidize them,” she said. Mayor Stannard and Deputy Mayor Jackie Brigley suggested the town also speak with local newspapers in Castor and Consort, though both have a decidedly smaller circulation than the regional Review. Turn to Bobcat, Pg 17
The publisher of the most widely circulated newspaper in east-central Alberta has been all but shut out in her bid to have the Town of Coronation amend its communication policy. Joyce Webster, who publishes the East Central Alberta Review in almost 100 communities, wrote a letter to town council requesting that the town refrain from enabling community organizations to advertise free in its newsletter at the expense of the long-running Coronationbased newspaper. “Unfortunately, the communications policy has not addressed the issue of a municipality providing a service that is provided by a taxpayer within that municipality,” Webster wrote in a letter presented to town council at Monday night’s meeting. “I don’t believe it is in the best interests of the municipality to be in competition with its taxpayers.” 3” wide version Council passed a motion to accept Webster’s letter as information, and to check with local papers for rates to potentially advertise the town pool schedule.

Ed Rye was sold on Camrose Chrysler long before he began working as a sales representative for the company. In 2003 he bought a car from Mike Rodin, who is now the dealer principal. It was a 300M and the best car he’s ever owned. “Never missed a beat,” says Ed. “and still going strong.” After a life of working in the oil patch and driving trucks, Ed decided to take it a little easier. All those jangled miles on the road were taking a toll on his lower back. However, life in his recliner was tougher on him than bouncing around on a long haul, so he picked up the phone and called Mike, wondering if they had any opportunities. A new door opened. “Here I am,” says Ed with a big friendly smile. “It’s a blessing.” He absolutely enjoys the work, meeting people and staying vital. If you’re looking for a new vehicle, give Ed a call. You’ll be impressed by how hard he’ll work for you.

in mEmoriam
IN LOVING Memory of our Baby Boy, Rylan Aubrey Nichols. May 26 - May 30 2005. We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And days before that too. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. A million times we’ve wanted you. A million times we cried. If love could only have saved you, You never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone. For a part of us went with you... the day God called you Home. Love you lots, Mommy, Daddy, Ethan, Braydon and Presley.
Cards of thanks
WE would like to thank Ashleigh and Cody, Scott and Taylor for the surprise party for our 25th anniversary. Also to our family and friends for coming to help us celebrate. Ron & Bonnie Fuglem
THANK YOU to family and friends for the cards, food and visits with the loss of our father and grandfather. Sincerely, Ron, Bonnie Fuglem & Family

ECA REVIEW
CORONATION/STETTLER, AB.
After 50 years, mass murder still haunts Stettler By Lisa Joy
Review reporter Judge David McNaughton – who, as a young lawyer, defended Robert Raymond Cook accused of slaughtering seven of his family members in Stettler in 1959 – still doesn’t know for certain whether his client was guilty or innocent. “Well…I’m…probably a fence sitter… probably a fence sitter,” hesitated Judge McNaughton as he reflected on the case 54 years later with a combination of wisdom and years of legal experience behind him.
He paused, a long pause, and his eyes looked away, upwards into nothing, blackness of the dimly lit auditorium. “With so much evidence, that is all circumstantial, I would love to have him say at the end, ‘God forgive me I did it,’ I would have loved it,” said Judge McNaughton as he recounted the tragic history to Grade 8 students last Tuesday in the Performing Arts Centre of Stettler’s William E. Hay Composite High School. “You know, it would have cut out all the doubts that I had,” said Judge McNaughton. “But he never. He never.
“I can tell you this,” he added, his voice quickening, “he never believed he had done it. He never wavered once. He may have fudged the truth in a whole bunch of (situations) but he never ever said he did it.” But, on the other hand, Judge McNaughton said maybe Cook suppressed the horrible memory. “I suspect it was completely wiped out in his mind that he didn’t do it.” Judge McNaughton said that when he and Stettler RCMP Sgt. Tom Roach got back to the cells on Sunday, June 28, 1959, after discovering the bodies of Cook’s
father, also named Raymond, 53, stepmother Daisy Mae, 37, and five siblings, Gerald, 9, Patrick, 8, Christopher, 7, Kathy, 5, and Linda Mae, 3, dumped like garbage in a grease pit, then covered with tires and cardboard, in the garage at the Cook residence on 52 Street, Judge McNaughton told Cook about his family’s brutal end. Cook’s reaction was either an Academy Award performance or sincere. “He was absolutely shocked,” said Judge McNaughton. “He said ‘not dad, not mom, and not the kids.’ I believed him. He was devastated.” Turn to Debate, Pg 15

ECA REVIEW
CORONATION/STETTLER, AB
Debate still alive 50June years Tuesday, 3rd later Cont’d from Pg 14 Was Robert Raymond Cook – the last man to hang in Alberta - guilty of shooting his father and step-mother, and using the end of a rifle to bludgeon his five half siblings beyond recognition on June 25, 1959, or was he innocent? The half-century debate continues in Stettler - a community that has never forgotten. “Go into any restaurant or any gathering of people with (grey hair) and say ‘Robert Raymond Cook’ and you’ll find out that debate is alive and well,” said Stettler
Town Councilor Malcolm Fischer who also spoke to the Grade 8 students. “You are just as likely, at a table of six, to find three who say ‘the poor boy was falsely accused, it was a conspiracy,’ and another three who say ‘he was a punk and he did it,’ so that’s the kind of discussion that still goes on around the Cook case,” said Fischer who is a retired elementary school principal and was nine years old and living in Stettler when the Cook family was murdered. Stettler Middle School librarian Jane Skocdopole, who arranged the

presentation by Judge McNaughton and Fischer for Grade 8 students, agreed. “You can walk into (a restaurant in Stettler) and get into an argument with a senior about the murders.”

eCa review
Mass hysteria after Cook escapes from Ponoka
Cont’d from Pg 15 she said. “I also think it is important to hear the voices of our seniors, our ‘living museums.’” For Skocdopole, however, the Cook story is more than just a school project. It’s all too real for her because her mother religiously followed the trial and believed Cook was innocent. Skocdopole was born in Edmonton just days after the Cook murders and grew up listening to her mother and her friends discuss - for years to come whether or not Robert Raymond Cook was guilty. “What fascinated me about it was, even when I was a teenager, my mother and friends were still debating it,” said Skocdopole. They also discussed the cases of convicted killers (Donald) Marshal and (David) Milgaard, who were later exonerated.” Skocdopole wonders why so many questioned Cook’s guilt and why the “real” killer was never found. “It was actually traumatic for some people who knew the Cooks. It was such a violent, hate filled crime and the children so small and blameless.”
Mass hysteria after Cook escapes from Ponoka
The impact the mass murder had on Stettler children back in 1959 was profound and still evident as they – now adults – retell their stories, stories of living in fear after Cook escaped from the provincial mental hospital in Ponoka and was on the lam for four terrifying days. Judge McNaughton said Cook told him that he escaped from Ponoka after discovering the bars on his window were loose. “He said he was in the cell and he pushed on the bars of the window. They screw down and then they screw up into grooves. He said he pushed on those and they were a little bit loose and that night he was able to push them
out. He said ‘when you’re desperate you get out’ and of course when he got out he had absolutely no problem stealing a car in no time at all without a key.” When news traveled across the sleepy prairies that Cook escaped from Ponoka there was “mass hysteria,” said Fischer. “People were very afraid and they were hiding.” Fischer said his grandparents had their four adult children and grandchildren all packed into one house. “We all slept in the living room and the dads took turns sitting at the door with a rifle and shotgun.” Skocdopole said that her now father-in-law, back then left the car in the middle of the yard with the keys in it and fully fueled – exactly what police told residents not to do. “If Cook came in their yard they wanted him to find a car as fast as possible and leave,” said Skocdopole.
The case that haunts him
The mass murder and subsequent hanging of Robert Raymond Cook on November 15, 1960, also left its mark on Judge McNaughton. “It brings back so many memories. “At age 10 (Cook) stole his first car,” he continued. “At 12 he stole another car.” Judge McNaughton recalled talking to one of the Mounties who saw this car driving down the street he thought without a driver. “He couldn’t see any driver in it, and Robert, I’m going to call him Bobbie because that’s what all the cons called him, it was Bobbie Cook. (RCMP) couldn’t see the driver. He was that small. He couldn’t see over the windshield. “At 14 he was in Bowden,” continued Judge McNaughton. “From then until he was hanged (age 22) he was out of the cells 243 days.” Cook’s family was massacred just days after he was released
from serving two years in Bowden Penitentiary and arrived back in Stettler. But the reason why Cook would kill his entire family has never been answered. “Nobody has ever said why because we don’t know,” said Judge McNaughton. He cautioned that rumours aren’t facts, hearsay isn’t admissible in court and when it comes to the Cook family mass murder, rumours – false ones – ran rampant. “There were all kinds of rumours and of course they were all wrong,” he said. “That’s what happens and everyone has an opinion without having any evidence and that’s a common occurrence. A lot of books were written about the massacre with some containing rumours and Judge McNaughton said the best book to read about the case is called The Robert Cook Murder Case: An Alberta Story by Frank W. Anderson because it only gives the facts. “Unless you have full background of all the evidence you can’t really make a judgment,” he said. Judge McNaughton described Cook saying, “Bobbie was, I would say, a mild mannered person. There was no evidence ever of assault, no violence at all in his record. He was a dam poor thief. He was convicted 19 times and was only out for 243 days from age 14 to the time he was hung.” Cook had two trials and was found guilty at both. After each trial Cook called down his lawyers to the cells and thanked them “profusely,” said Judge McNaughton. “Never ever did he admit to doing this, to me or to anybody else. He gave his body to the university hospital, his eyes to the eye bank.” Cook, while in his death cell
waiting to be hanged, wrote a his lap, looked up at the stupoem. dents, softened his voice, and Slowly, clearly, articulating said, “I received that after he each word, Judge McNaughton was hanged.” read Cook’s lengthy poem to the students, line after line, stanza after stanza until BOX 8 ROWLEY, AB.

Trail of the Bobcat
In other business, town public works foreman Allan Smith updated council on a program that he said would enable the town to acquire a new Bobcat each year. “We’re just looking at what kind of pricing we’ve got to deal with there, and which way is the best
option for us,” said Smith, who estimated the new model would cost about $30,000. “Council wanted me to do just a little more research on it before they finalize on which way they’re going to go. It’s a fairly major piece of equipment that we would have to use. They move a lot of dirt and snow in the wintertime.”

WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR? ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
Smith said the spring is also a busy time of year on the public works front. “We’re busy with potholes at this time of year,” he said. “We’ve got to redo the crosswalk painting and the curb stuff. We’ve got patching paving in the next few months. Lots of grass to cut and trees to trim.”

Summer 2014 grass cattle economics Agri-News Despite the high price of grass cattle this spring having some producers questioning the economics of running yearlings on pasture this summer, an Alberta Agriculture specialist says grass cattle can still be profitable with sound management. “The Western Livestock Price Insurance Program (WLPIP) can be a useful tool in generating profit for a grass cattle operation,” says Ted Nibourg, farm business management specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. “An example of the economic analysis involved can be useful in illustrating the tool. Last week’s sale at the Stettler Auction market saw 6 – 7 weight steers sell in a
range of $185 to $212 for an average of around $1.98 per pound. A 650 pound steer would cost $1287. Add 0.5 percent death loss and the total cost runs $1293. Interest expense at 5 percent adds $16 per head. 100 days of grazing at 75¢ per day increases costs by $75. Throw in 2-way trucking costs of about $20 per head and one will have $1404 per head invested in grass cattle. Assuming gains averaging 2 pounds per day on grass would result in an 850 pound steer requiring at least $1.65 a pound to break even in the fall.” The WLPIP – Feeder program forecasts prices for 850 pound steers in 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 week price coverage increments from the purchase date of the
cattle. “At the present time, the 32 and 36 week intervals are not available in Alberta,” says Nibourg. “For the purpose of this example the 16 week coverage level fits best. On May 13th, the 16 week insured index was $184 per cwt. Premiums for that coverage were $1.70 per cwt of expect sale weight. For an additional cost of $13.60 a producer can lock in a profit of approximately $146 per head.” Nibourg says producers can use these examples to help develop profitability estimates for their own grasser operations, and that using the WLPIP will help reduce downside price risk. Information about the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program can be found at http://www.wlpip.ca/cattle.
“While WLPIP can help manage price risk, there are other risks that have to be considered and managed,” adds Nibourg. “The two main production risks that have to be managed are the potential for
reduced gains and increased death losses. These can adversely affect profit.” For more information on farm management, call the Ag-Info Centre farm at 310FARM (3276).

The ‘profile’ of a successful producer
Agri-News An Alberta Agriculture (ARD) specialist says that he’s noticed that there are traits successful producers have in common. “In Alberta, we are very fortunate to work with some of the best producers in the world,” says Rick Dehod, agriculture farm financial specialist, ARD, Edmonton. “There are several traits many of these producers have in common that give them a greater chance at profitability and success.” They know their cost of production. “The very good producers know their costs of production and update these costs monthly as more information comes available,” says Dehod. “It’s hard to manage what you don’t measure. Good accurate financial information is critical to success. Benchmarking your farm to its previous performance and your peers will lead to more knowledgeable decisions.” They understand that production matters. “The level of productivity that we are seeing today is amazing,” says Dehod. “ The management systems and the adoption of technology have increased yields. Investment in research will only enhance this. That’s why your check off dollars to the commodity commissions are so important.” They realize working capital is king. “Working capital is your current assets less your current liabilities,” says Dehod. “Producers that have a lot of liquidity have a greater amount of flexibility in making decisions about their business. This year’s grain movement has shown how critical this is going into spring seeding. Record cash advances being taken to address working capital. “Having adequate liquidity during times of volatility (that is the new norm) is critical to success. You may be asking how much should I have? It truly depends on many factors for the type of production model you have. The bottom line is to work towards having more working capital in your operation.”
They understand that risk management/margin management is as important as production management. “Due to the volatility in the marketplace, successful producers have implemented a strong margin management focus on their operation,” says Dehod. “Producers, who have developed a strong marketing plan and frequently review it, have been able to lock in a profit, and address their needs for timely working capital.” They realize that a business plan, supported by good record keeping and financial statements, provides information for good decision making and focus. “Successful producers can explain the “why” to their business partners and their bankers,” says Dehod. They use technology and information to their advantage – “The speed information travels is amazing and, as an industry, we must be cognizant of this and use technology to our advantage,” explains Dehod. “A smartphone has become more important than a grain shovel. Adoption of technology and the hunger for information sets successful producers apart from their peers. The timeliness of information assists in
