PAGE 4-CCA RODEO NEWS MARCH

FROM THE DESK, QUAD, TRUCK, HORSE OF MARK BENCZE G.M. We have learned a lot in the last year and hope to show improvement in all areas of service. We have received a lot of positive feedback from a lot of our stakeholders already.

The convention was a great success and largely due to great organization by the staff and a huge part of the success was the interaction between committees, contractors, contestants and the CCA to find ways to work together and help each other find success.

Hello from the office. The 2013 rodeo season is approaching fast and we are very busy getting prepared and very excited at the same time. New staff training, some new rules, new procedures and technology and all the logistics of lining up committees, contractors and sponsors to get all the wheels in motion.

We were very encouraged by the comments and are seeking ways to build on that for the next convention.

There is so much going on behind the scenes that I don't have room for it all. For contestants, contractors and committees we will be communicating with you through email and information on the website, keep watching for up-dates.

The most exciting initiative is the 50th anniversary. We are working with a subcommittee of CCA directors, past directors, gold card members and alumni to make some plans to celebrate. The newspaper is going to have retro photos and articles all year long. We hope everyone pitches in to help somewhere.

As always your feedback and suggestions are always helpful and welcome. The CCA is a contestant based association and the funding and future depends on each member doing what you can.

Remember to support CCA sponsors, they financially support CCA rodeo.

Look forward to working for and talking to you in 2013.

Mark

It is with great sadness that the family of Lloyd Hartman announce his passing on February 18th, 2013 at the age of77. Lloyd was born on a farm south of Lemsford on March 27th, 1935. He grew up in Lancer, worked at the Millie Ranch and later farmed with his dad. He took over the family farm in 1974. He was a traditional farmer who believed that the modern ways would never work. Lloyd raised cows and horses and was often called by the neighbors to help a sick animal. Lloyd was a cowboy, he loved rodeos and travelled many miles to compete as a calf roper and a team roper winning many buckles. In 1987, Lloyd was presented with the Gordon Simpson Award (a working cowboy award) at the Canadian Western Exhibition. In 1989 Lloyd and his partner Emil won the Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo team roping. In 1998 Lloyd was presented with a Gold Card from the Canadian Cowboys Association for actively promoting the sport of rodeo and the Association. He hosted two rodeos at the farm (1961 & 1962), was the president of the Sandhills Roping Club for many years, chute boss at the Swift Current Rodeo and Sandhills Rodeo. Lloyd enjoyed fishing and hunting and in his later years gardening was his passion. It made him very happy to give away an abundance of produce. He could tell you the history of the many arrowheads he found, the community history as well as the history of the sand hills. Lloyd had a great sense of humor and was known for being a big tease of the local children. He drove school bus for many years and always had an interesting story to tell. He enjoyed playing cards, was an avid reader and he watched the documentaries on television. Lloyd was a member of the Knights of Columbus, had been on the village council, worked at community events and was on an advisory board dealing with Old Timers Rodeos. His grandchildren were very special to him, bringing him joy and laughter every time they were around. He followed the activities of his children and grandchildren-skating, hockey, curling, soccer, lacrosse, steer riding Lloyd lived his life with a spirit of independence and determination never wavering on his opinions and rarely asking for assistance. Lloyd leaves to cherish his memory ; his wife Eileen of 52 Y2 years; children Paulette (Kim ), Trish(Rick), Clayton(Karen); grandchildren; Ryden (Alyss), Courtney(Rob),Austin, Kylee, Cole, Chad, Cade; sisters Betty Ann (Denis) and Tillie; brother Karl, as well as uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews. At Lloyd's request no funeral service will be held. Interment will be held at a later date. In memory of Lloyd donations can be made to the Cabri Hospital Auxilliary or The Canadian Cowboy's Association at Box 1027 Regina Sask.S4P3B2 Culham/Bowers Funeral Home were entrusted with the arrangements. For further information call 306-773-5110 or 1-800-799-5110 or visit our web site at www.culhambowersfuneralhome.com and express your sympathy to family members in our book of condolences.

Lord, I've never lived where churches grow I loved creation better as it stood, The day you finished it so long ago, And looked upon your work and called it good.

I know that others find you in the light That's sifted down through tinted window panes And yet I seem to feel you near tonight, In this dim quiet starlight on the plains.

Lord, let me live my life as I've begun.

And give me work that's open to the sky; Make me a partner of the wind and the sun, And I'll not ask a life that that's soft nor high.

Let me be easy on the man that's down, Let me be square and generous with all; I'm careless, Lord. Sometimes when I'm in town, But never let them say I'm mean or small.

Make me as big and open as the plains, As honest as the horse between my knees, Clear as the wind that blows behind the rain, Free as a hawk that circles down the breeze.

Forgive me Lord, if sometimes I forget, You know about the reasons that are hid.

You know me better than mother did.

Just keep an eye on all that's done and said, And right me sometimes when I turn aside, And guide me along the dim trail ahead, That stretches upward towards the Great Divide.

Committee Person Of The Year Given to the person that stands out and goes above and beyond their duties as a committee member, Canadian Cowboys Association would like to congratulate the 2012 Committee Person of the Year, Larry Gould from the Pierson Rodeo Committee in Manitoba. Larry was born in Makinak, Manitoba, and started his career in rodeo in 1993. Even though he never competed, he was committed to promoting rodeo, his first being in Melita, Manitoba. Larry then went on to promote six others including Pierson Rodeo, and continues to do so after nineteen years.

“Jonathan passing on some wisdom at the rough stock practice”

The Canadian Cowboys Association Board of Directors would like to thank outgoing President Jonathan Kmita for his years of service to the CCA and to the sport of rodeo.

PAGE 12-CCA RODEO NEWS MARCH

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Hello Everyone, I hope the winter has treated you well and if you’re like me you are ready for spring to be here. As you can see, we have a changing of the guard with long time president Jonathan Kmita stepping down as president. I would like to take this time to thank Keeter on behalf of the CCA and the membership for all of his years of service. Your experience and love for

the CCA will be missed.

As for me, becoming the president was a surprise but was a challenge I am excited for. I have been a member since 1996 and on the board for 6 years. I believe that rodeo is the greatest sport going and with my involvement in rodeo schools have seen many of our youth become great people inside and out of the arena because of their involvement in rodeo.

As I look back I believe that rodeo and the CCA gave me the tools to succeed outside of the arena. To understand at an early age that hard work, dedication and belief in something are keys in life and valuable lessons.

Thanx, Shylo Claypool

Rodeo Royalty It has been an interesting winter that's for sure, I hope everyone has been keeping warm between the 0 and the -40 weather! I know its been difficult with all this snow but hopefully everybody has been practicing up because spring is going to be hear before we know it!

Don't forget to sell your tickets to fund raise for the SHSRA, and also look for sponsors. Please do not let all your time run out! Our first rodeo in the spring will be held in Biggar, on May 11th, and 12th. I will see you all there! It will be great to see all the improvements that have been made by everyone coming into the 2013 year.

I know there will be a lot of excitement to get back rodeoing, and of course a lot more memories made. I hope everybody had an amazing Christmas and New Years, because everyone deserved them. I can not wait to hear everyone’s stories when we get back. But I hope you all are having a great winter, stay safe and see you soon!
