It took Mya Prehn mere minutes to win the hearts of the five investors on CBC’s Drag-ons’ Den.
The seven-year-old Grade 2 student from Stettler — an entrepreneur in her spare time —became the youngest guest in the show’s history with her appearance, taped in March and aired on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Prehn appeared on the show during an all-student special to seek the Dragons’ invest-ment in Lunch Apeel, a company she created with the help of her mother, Erin.
Lunch Apeel sells a kit designed to encour-age healthy eating for kids. The set includes stickers that parents can use to mark the nutri-tional value of the items in their kids’ lunches, with three rankings: one, two or three apples.
There’s also a chart parents can use to track their kids’ dietary habits, with rewards — like a new book or a lunch date — given at differ-ent levels of achievement.
Mya and her father, Brian, are fans of Drag-ons’ Den and made the trip to Calgary together when auditions were held there.
They needed an idea to pitch, said her moth-er, Erin. Mya’s first pitch — a robot that ap-plied makeup — was creative, but perhaps too complex.
“Obviously, none of us knew how to make that,” said Erin. So they went back to the drawing board.
Mya told the Dragons that the product was inspired by her own experience, as she would often eat the treats packed in her lunch and leave the healthier items untouched.
“I didn’t eat all my healthy stuff,” she ex-plained to the Independent later. “My mom decided that we should make it a game.”
They pitched this idea in Calgary in Feb-ruary, not expecting any response, and were “incredibly surprised” to receive a phone call inviting them to Toronto for a taping of the show.

Audiences in Stettler
were treated to four eve-nings of madcap theatrics last week as the Heart-land Arts Troupe Soci-
ety (HATS) presented its fall production, Exit the Body.
Director Wayne Smith estimated that close to 800 people attended the dinner theatre over four nights. The show was presented at the Stettler Community Hall from Wednesday, Nov. 12 to Saturday, Nov. 15.
Smith said the actors’ performance improved each time, explaining, “It was great on Wednesday, but just phenomenal by Saturday night.”
“I felt very blessed be-cause I had such a great cast,” he said. “They were committed to the play and worked together very well.”
The three-act play, set in 1961, tells the story of mystery novelist Crane
Hammond (played by Andrea Muhlbach) and her assistant Kate Bixley (Nancy Hamilton), who have rented a house in New England for a work-ing holiday.
The house’s prior tenant had taken part in a jewel heist, dying in an auto ac-cident before their arrival, and others are interested in getting their hands on the ill-gotten gain — be-lieved to be hidden some-where in the house.
Shortly after Hammond arrives at the house, she discovers a body in the closet, only to have it dis-appear minutes later, set-ting the tone for the rest of the play.
The production featured a cast of eccentric char-acters — from the maid, Jenny (Santana Scarff) and the sheriff (Harry Brook) to Hammond’s friend Lillian (Sue Strat-ulate) and her husband (Justin Tanner) — many of whom were not quite
what they appeared.Rounding out the
cast were the landlord, Helen O’Toole (Sara Humphreys), the schem-ing Randolph (Dennis Smyth), the amnesiac Philip Smith (Jeff Wiebe) and Hammond’s husband, Richard (Malcolm Fisch-er).
The play culminated in a zany final act where just about everyone de-scended upon the house in search of the diamonds, and a surprise ending.
The set, constructed by Wayne Smith and Den-nis Smyth and painted by Lori Bischke, featured multiple doors and a stair-case, and was decorated with period furniture and items, down to the rotary dial phone and vintage magazines.
Smith said the cast had spent the last 11 weeks in intense rehearsals for the show, calling it an enor-mous commitment.
The director himself
had to miss most of Fri-day’s show as he under-went emergency surgery to remove his appendix. Amazingly, he was able to return the following night for the final performance.
This was Smith’s first outing as a director. He said he’s open to filling that role again, although he’s unsure whether or not he’ll be available next year.
“At the very least, I want to be on stage,” he said, adding that he had “nothing but positive” things to say about the ex-perience.
Brenda’s Country Ca-tering provided the meals, while Chris Leinweber served as assistant di-rector and Jean Bischke served as producer.
Originally known as the Stettler Gilbert and Sul-livan Society, HATS has produced more than 40 shows since 1972, averag-ing one production annu-ally in recent years.

A collision on Highway 56 on Tuesday sent at least two people to hospital by STARS helicopter and saw the highway closed for two hours.
Around 9 a.m., a multi-vehicle collision on the highway just north of Big Valley resulted in backed up traffic and the call to STARS for assistance. Two helicopters were seen on site, with STARS only able to take one person per he-licopter.
Stettler RCMP, EMS, and Stettler Regional Fire and Rescue responded to the scene of the collision, which is reported to have included two vehicles at minimum, with a possible third vehicle being in-volved.
Police and fire depart-ment were not available to make statements prior to the Independent’s press
deadline.According to reports
from the scene, two of the injured in the collision were in “rough shape,” though there’s no official word on the state of their injuries.
By noon on Tuesday, the highway was re-opened, though moving slowly as emergency services cleaned up the scene and police continued to in-vestigate the cause of the
collision.For further updates on

Houses, churches, and even a foot-ball stadium, all made of gingerbread and candies, turned the Stettler Le-gion’s Dieppe room into a Christmas Village this weekend.
On Saturday, Nov. 15, the first event of the annual Festival of Lights, the third Gingerbread House contest, took place.
People could come in to vote for their favourite Gingerbread creations in various categories. This year there were 16 entries on display, with the seven-and-under age category bring-ing in the most houses.
The largest of the houses was made by an older age group and was
a holiday testament to the devotion many fans have for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. A football field, deco-rated by icing yard lines and candy posts, was surrounded by gingerbread stands.
Other gingerbread creations in-cluded several homes, a church, and a house with a large, decorated yard.
Volunteers had cookies and other home-baked snacks on hand, as well as popcorn, juice, and hot cocoa for the families who came out to vote.
Also on display was a holiday quilt made by the Heartland Quilters Guild. The quilt will be raffled off at the festival’s ending gala, and will be on display all month at the Stet-tler Community Centre. Tickets are a dollar each.
The winning gingerbread houses will be on display at other Festival of Lights events at the end of the month.
The rest of the Festival of Lights kicks off Nov. 25 with a gourmet breakfast and dessert evening, fol-lowed by a Seniors Tea and Christ-mas Spirits on the 26th. On the 27th, a Sounds of the Season concert will brighten everyone’s holiday spir-its, and a Children’s Wonderland on Nov. 28 will give kids several holiday activities to participate in, including a sleigh ride. The last event of the week, the gala, takes place on Satur-day, Nov. 29.
All during the week, Tuesday Nov. 25 to Friday Nov. 28, there will be a daily Christmas market from noon til 5 p.m.

SAFE (School Action for Emergen-cies) Plans are under development for area schools and should be ready by this February, members of the Clear-view Public Schools board were told at a meeting last week.
Cst. William Lewadniuk from the Stettler RCMP detachment, who serves as the local school resource officer, made a presentation to the board at its committee of the whole meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13.
Lewadniuk said SAFE Plans are be-ing initiated for local public and Catho-lic schools, as a tool to help “front-line members respond efficiently and effec-tively to critical incidents.”
Each school must have its own spe-cific response plan, which is then avail-able to officers and other emergency responders in the event of an urgent situation.
“I’ve been working in co-operation with the school board, with Clearview staff and with the individual principals themselves,” Lewadniuk told the Inde-pendent.
The response plans include standard-ized lockdown procedures that can be put in place to respond to serious or po-tentially violent situations. They also include key information like contacts, floor plans, aerial photos and maps.
According to Lewadniuk’s presenta-tion, the plans can be applied in “any school event or situation that requires police deployment of resources,” rang-ing from shooters, bomb threats or hos-tage situations to chemical spills, prop-erty crimes or missing children.
The SAFE Plan computer application was released nationwide in September 2007. The program is used to make these site-specific emergency response plans available to police.
In serious situations, Lewadniuk ex-plained, the local detachment may re-quest help from a larger centre, such as Edmonton or Calgary.
“The (police) can have access to all this information before they’re even on the site,” he explained.
The SAFE Plan is also designed to improve co-ordination with other emer-gency services, although only RCMP members and partnering law enforce-ment agencies can access the plans.
“It’s going to become a big prior-ity,” said Corp. Cameron Russell, who joined Lewadniuk briefly at the close of his presentation. “It’s a very benefi-cial program, as far as I can see.”
In response to an inquiry from board chair Cheri Neitz about threats from within, Lewadniuk said that school of-ficials must be vigilant about potential “warning flags” and must bring such concerns to the police.
Associate superintendent Peter Neale
said he was impressed with Lewad-niuk’s leadership in implementing the SAFE Plans and added, “We’re look-ing forward to seeing this come to frui-tion.”
Lewadniuk told the Independent later that the SAFE Plans for most of the Clearview schools should be in place by February 2015.
“All of the tactical planning has been done for all of the schools,” he said, explaining that he started the early groundwork in June and ramped up his efforts beginning in September.
A SAFE Plan is also under develop-ment for Christ-King Catholic School and should be in place by March.
Lewadniuk said that Clearview’s col-ony schools would be included in the program, though their SAFE Plans aren’t expected to be completed until June.
A public information session is planned at some point. Lewadniuk said info on the SAFE Plans would be shared first with principals, then with teachers and finally with parents and students.
Other businessThe committee of the whole meeting
also included the annual update from Student Services and CARS (Children and Adolescents being Resilient and Self-Regulating), presented by student services director Eileen Johnstone and clinical director Don Porter.
Several new and revised policies were approved for public consultation on the following concerns: appeals, delegation of authority, superintendent job description, yard service standards and the Local Authorities Pension Plan.
Board meeting dates were finalized for the coming year, trustee Staci Ger-litz provided a review of the Student Ombudsman Committee, and superin-tendent Peter Barron offered his regu-lar update on his recent and upcoming activities.
The board will meet next on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. at the Clearview office in Stettler.
SAFE Plans for local schools expected in new year

They flew out east in March, using the invitation as an excuse for a fam-ily trip. They also took in a Raptors basketball game and visited Ripley’s Aquar-ium.
Erin went with Mya to the taping at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in downtown Toronto. She presented her pitch to the Dragons, handing each one a hand-packed lunch and explaining how the pro-gram works.
Jim Treliving came for-ward with his lunch and picked out three items — strawberries, a wrap and crackers — which earned
him six apples on his chart. The Dragons were
amused and amazed by Mya’s pitch, with David Chilton asking her, “Now where did you go to univer-sity?”
After she told them she was six years old — her age at the time of the taping — Michael Wekerle asked her to show some ID.
The investors were espe-cially impressed when she told them she had already sold around 50 kits at $9 each. The company also has a Facebook page (now with more than 450 likes) and a website.
Her request was for $2,000 in exchange for a 50 per cent share in the compa-ny. When Arlene Dickinson
asked her what she would do with the money, Mya’s response brought the house down.
“Buy lots and lots of chocolate bars,” she said, adding that she was just kidding and that she would use the money to make her website “funner.”
“I think this is a really smart idea,” said Dickin-son, who is the spokesper-son for Breakfast Clubs of Canada. “I’m a big believer in helping kids eat better.”
Dickinson was the first to offer support. Ultimately, the Dragons agreed to con-tribute $1,000 each, for a total of $5,000. They took no stake or royalties, but made the condition that once Mya’s company turns
a profit, she must donate half of it to Dickinson’s charity.
Mya accepted the pitch, looking to her mother off-stage for guidance. The Dragons invited Erin on-stage briefly to share the good news with her.
Michael Wekerle de-clared Mya the “six-year-old entrepreneur of the year,” while Dickinson joked that she could be prime minister someday.
Mya had to keep the results a secret for eight months between the show’s taping and its airdate, and she said it was “very, very hard” to keep her good news to herself.
The Prehns had a viewing party at the Ramada Inn last
week, and since the show aired, they’ve received close to 100 orders for the product.
Acknowledging that it’s hard for a child to grasp how much money $5,000 is, Erin said they’ve tried to explain it to Mya and that she understands she’s “pret-ty fortunate to get that.”
She said that she and Brian have taught Mya to “work hard and seize these opportunities,” and that this has been a learning experi-ence for her.
Erin also said they’ve had correspondence with some of the Dragons, including an email from David Chil-ton and a card from Jim Treliving, who sent along a gift card for Boston Pizza
to be used for a celebratory dinner.
She said all the Dragons were kind, adding, “They still wanted to take the time out of their incredibly busy days to keep in touch.”
Erin said she was also grateful for the town’s en-couragement, and for those who showed their support by purchasing a kit or tun-ing in on Wednesday.
“Obviously, Stettler is a small town with a huge heart,” she said. “They have been absolutely fantastic.”

As Etienne Brugman spoke to the audience at Stettler’s Remembrance Day ceremony, he tried to impress upon them the sig-nificance of Canada’s war-time contributions.
A native of Rotterdam, a port city in the Dutch province of South Holland, Brugman grew up hear-ing the stories of the blitz bombings of 1940, the re-sistance movement and the famine that lasted through-out the winter of 1944-45.
He also heard how his family and others were liberated by Canadian sol-diers — men who came across the ocean to fight in a battle not their own.
“They were eagerly waiting for the Canadians to arrive,” he said, “be-cause they knew it meant freedom, it meant hope, it meant that they themselves and their nation could rise again.”
Brugman — who serves as deputy fire chief for the Stettler Regional Fire De-partment —also spoke of the politeness and humility of Canadians, saying they
are reluctant to blow their own horn.
“Allow me to blow the horn for you,” he said. “You will stand for what is right, what is true . . . You’re full of integrity and character as a nation.”
It was a message that resonated with the audi-ence, who gave Brugman a standing ovation when he concluded his speech at the Stettler Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 11.
Organizers for the event had placed additional chairs on the stage to ac-commodate more guests, with an estimated total ca-pacity of 400 people.
However, owing to the weather, the actual turnout was smaller, estimated at around 325 guests, includ-ing members of the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch #59.
The ceremony was led by Alberta-N.W.T. Dis-trict 4 commander Rosa-lind LaRose, who oversees 24 Legion branches across the district.
Seargent-at-Arms Lee Holman led the parading of the colours, while Mar-vyn Harris performed the
Last Post and Reveille. Pianist Elaine Hennel
and drummer Alan Wil-lis accompanied the sing-ing of “O Canada,” “God Save the Queen” and “The Strangest Dream.”
Padre Rev. Carolyn Langford provided the in-vocation and the lesson, reading from John 15, while Kaylee Sommer-ville, a Grade 11 student at
William E. Hay Composite School, sang a song based on the poem “In Flanders Fields.”
Comrade Ton Vander-burg, president of the Le-gion branch, gave his re-marks. Also a native of the Netherlands, he spoke of what is called the “hunger winter” in late 1944 and early 1945 — when food supplies were cut off and
thousands starved to death. Too young to recall the
experience himself, he had heard the stories of how there was no coal for heat, and some cooked soup made from tulip bulbs just to fill their stomachs. The Canadians arrived in the spring and the official liberation was declared on
May 5, 1945.“I can tell you that the
people in Holland are still thankful to the Canadi-ans,” he said, “not only the soldiers, but also the fam-ily and friends at home, that they left behind.”
In the ceremony that fol-lowed, approximately 50 wreaths were laid on be-half of local governments, organizations, dignitaries and families, starting with a wreath laid on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II by Comrade Walter Treherne, a naval veteran who served during the Second World War.
Following Brugman’s address, Dave Goodwin sang an original song written for the occasion, “Monumental,” accom-panied by pianist Barbara Lynn Goodwin and drum-mer Alan Willis.
Rev. Langford gave the benediction, followed by “God Save the Queen” and the retiring of the co-lours. Following the ser-vice, a brief wreath laying ceremony was held at the cenotaph in nearby Sharpe’s Memorial Park.

Our provincial legislators re-turned to their seats in Edmon-ton this week with the new pre-mier promising a new kind of leadership in government with a completely reworked legislative agenda.
A statement from the govern-ment’s press office said: “As promised, Bill 1 will hit the reset button on property rights in Al-berta by taking immediate steps to address concerns raised by landowners. Bill 2 will deliver on the commitment made by Pre-mier Prentice to end entitlements and hold government to account by enforcing the highest ethical standards.”
The statement then listed sev-eral legislative proposals that would be included in the fall agenda of the provincial legis-lature, which included, among others “The Horse Racing Alber-ta Amendment Act”. Go figure.
As the newly installed, Otta-wa-ripened premier of the prov-ince sets out to implement his agenda, observers from both left and right say they see varying signs, in line with their percep-tions and interpretations, that
Mr. Prentice is making deci-sions both to prop up the party machinery to muster internal support for his future moves and to correct some of the wrong un-dertaken by his predecessors, Ed Stelmach and Alison Redford.
And protection of property rights is the first of those wrong steps to be corrected, which is timely and on target.
Interestingly, the main oppo-sition Wildrose Party has been beating the drum on the same issue for several weeks now and Wildrose MLAs, including our local MLA, have been writing articles and making speeches on the need to secure the prop-erty rights of the landowners, including contracts and agree-ments they sign with other par-ties to utilize their land in vari-ous ways.
At one level, it is fortunate that the opposition and the governing party agree on the priorities that need to be tackled, in this case the property rights.
At another level, it will be in-teresting to see what kind of op-position strategy the Wildrose will be left to follow once the
adoption of new property rights legislation takes all the wind off their sails, at least for the time being.
As it is well known, opposi-tion is a very important function in parliamentary democracies, so much so that in many coun-tries, the opposition leader is placed right after the head of the executive power in state proto-col. This is because the main op-position party is meant to be the main factor balancing the force of the government majority.
However, in Canada, and in Alberta, in particular, we seem to be lacking strong, efficient opposition forces to challenge the governing political forces.
Wildrose have gained promi-nence thanks to the clumsy criti-cism of the PC policies by the provincial Liberals and NDP (and Greens) and once they have gained their main opposition title, Danielle Smith and her col-leagues did not really have much of a challenge because Ed Stel-mach and his successor were so inefficient politicians.
Now they have a much more experienced, knowledgeable and
efficient PC leader to tackle in the shape of Premier Jim Pren-tice.
How Ms. Smith and her col-leagues will handle their task of leading the opposition in the course of the next few months might well determine whether we will have the beginnings of another four decades of PC gov-ernment in Alberta.
In this process, a well-oiled governing party machinery and effective government under the leadership of Mr. Prentice might well be an opportunity for Wil-drose Party to learn how to im-prove their performance as the main opposition.
A battle-hardened rival is al-ways a good opportunity for a fighter to learn from his mis-takes, learn and develop new moves to identify and exploit the weaknesses of the opponents.
Let’s hope that Wildrose lead-ership will make use of this op-portunity to become a better op-position force, and in the process they might prove their worth to be the next governing party of the province.

The battle against US Country of Origin Label-ling (COOL) legislation re-cently received a couple of boosts. First was the WTO decision that ruled COOL discriminated against tra-ditional Canadian cattle and hog imports. It was the third such decision and one might assume that the American government would get the message and make the necessary chang-es to adhere to the WTO ruling. But that is not likely under the existing Obama administration, further ap-peals and delaying tactics are sure to be made by the USDA.
Federal Ag Minister Ritz, with WTO decision in hand, is demanding that unless the Americans re-peal COOL legislation the Canadian government will impose retaliatory tar-iffs on a billion dollars of American imports. Pending one more appeal Canada will be in a position to im-pose those tariffs under the WTO process. That could
take another year, but its unlikely to happen anyway, and I suspect the Ameri-cans know it`s just an idle threat. That`s because it’s not entirely clear that Min-ister Ritz has the formal sanctioned approval from his cabinet colleagues to impose the retaliatory tar-iffs on American imports.
Such tariffs would need a cabinet order and involve other government depart-ments like, trade, finance, revenue and the Canada Border Services Agency. None of those folks are looking for more work, and besides retaliatory tariffs goes against the spirit of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Canada as a trading nation has a long history of being a boy scout unwilling to upset its trading partners no matter the impact. The other thing is the political reality of the issue in Canada. Although the issue is critical to the Canadian cattle and hog industries, in the scheme of things, it involves a small
sector of the economy and relatively few voters – and that`s the political crux of the matter.
Commentators in urban newspapers have already made reference to the nega-tive impact on consum-ers of imposing retaliatory tariffs. They imply that it will be Canadian consum-ers who will end up paying for the COOL issue, which they dismiss as a minor ag-ricultural trade dispute. The reality is that politicians know how to count votes and livestock industry vot-ers don`t matter much in our highly urbanized society. To make the political real-ity even worse, the present
government knows that the industry will vote Conser-vative anyway, so they can be taken for granted. That makes it tough for Minister Ritz to get the cabinet sup-port he will need to formal-ly impose retaliatory tariffs on American imports.
The best Canada can hope for is that the US will agree to a negotiated settle-ment. Minister Ritz may be demanding a repeal of COOL but he well knows that governments virtu-ally never repeal legislation that they have passed. That would imply that they made a mistake – and no govern-ment anywhere will admit that it ever makes mistakes.
The Americans have a num-ber of other administrative avenues that they could use to get around the worse impacts of COOL and not have to actually change the legislation. American poli-ticians have been known to remove funding from a problematic program which in effect puts it into limbo. It’s still intact, but it can`t be actually implemented - that way both sides win.
The other boost that might help COOL is the change to a more trade-friendly American Con-gress. The recent election will see a Republican Party majority in both houses, and the chairmanships of the standing committees including agriculture. That could see amendments made to COOL go through the legislative process and get passed as part of an omnibus bill. That`s actu-ally how previous changes to COOL were made by the Obama administration.
One does ponder how COOL got this far and what
was its purpose. Appar-ently the vast majority of American cattle producers, feedlot operators and meat processors are opposed to COOL. Analysts state it has little impact on live-stock prices. Consumers supposedly support COOL, but only if it doesn’t cost them too much. Its cost the North American cattle, hog and meat processing indus-try billions of lost dollars. So who was this legisla-tion supposed to benefit? I suspect in a twisted way it supports anti-meat lobby groups, animal rights radi-cals and the usual cabal of enviro crazies who want to destroy modern agri-culture. That’s because instead of promoting and defending North American meat production and con-sumption against those dark forces, industry organiza-tions spend time and money fighting each other, fending off senseless government regulations and generally shooting ourselves in the foot. Go figure.
COOL now has some hope

The Princess Ball is the perfect event for every girl who’s ever dreamed of putting on her fanciest gown and shoes, and dancing till the clock strikes midnight. The ball has been held annually in Red Deer for several years, but for the first time this winter, it’s also coming to the Stettler Community Hall. “We’re branching directly off of them,” said Renaye Pickett, a local mother of two who is leading thecommittee in charge of the Stettler Princess Ball for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015 at the hall, which will be decked out like a fine ballroom. Pickett and her committee of 11 are planning lots of activities and fun, from glitter tattoos and nail and face painting to crafts and a raffle. Photographers will be on hand, and the dancefloor will be open. Pickett also said they are making arrangements to have local high school students dressed as princesses and princes for the ball. Over the last three years, the Princess Ball events in Red Deer have raised close to$60,000 for research for cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder that primarily affectsthe lungs.Patients with CF typically have trouble breathing and suffer from repeated lunginfections. The pancreas, liver and intestines are often affected as well.The event was started in 2012 by Kelly Tibbets, whose second daughter, RowanGrace, was diagnosed with CF at the age of three weeks. In a statement, Tibbets said she was motivated not only to raise money for CFresearch, but by “a strong desire to start teaching the
young ladies of our community the power of philanthropy,and that compassion and kindness are the foundations of being a true princess.”The news of the Stettler event was welcomed by localmother Michelle Mulgrove, whose second child, Brooke, was diagnosed with CF at age 1.Brooke, now 12, must take close to 30 pills a day andsometimes use a ventilation machine to clear her lungs. Mulgrove said she and her family are excited about theevent and pleased to see that Stettler will host a fundraiserfor CF.“It means a lot to our family,” she said. “We’re thankful that it’s coming.” Tickets are going on sale on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the upstairs meeting room in the Stettler Recreation Centre.Tickets are $50 each, and 300 tickets will be available for sale.Buyers are limited to four tickets per person; each person in attendanceat the ball, including infants, must have their own ticket. Ticket sales will begin at 10 a.m. and continue until tickets are sold out.

When Diane Roch was packing to visit her daughter in Drumheller, she packed up some of the jewelry hanging boards she makes as a post-re-tirement hobby, just in case.
On Saturday, Nov. 15 Roch, who lives in the Yukon, earned the desig-nation of “furthest ven-dor” when she decided to sell the boards at the annual Big Valley Christ-mas Craft Show and Sale.
She cuts patterns out of plywood using a saw – a saw that once bit into her finger and gave her an extreme manicure – then stains and veneers the wood. Using foam covered in pretty fabric, framed in spruce, she makes the perfect place for hooking in earrings. Hooks on the rest of the board can be used to hang jewelry like bracelets and necklaces.
The boards, while de-signed for jewelry, could easily be multi-purpose, used as a near-the-door memo board and key hanger, as an example.
Andrea Webster, who is one of the fair orga-nizers, has been involved with the fair for about 15 years. When she became involved, it was a natu-ral progression from her years as a child, where she went to fairs with her mother.
“It was just getting started when I got in-volved,” she said.
This year there were 35 tables set up for 32 ven-dors, packing the Big Val-ley hall with sellers and buyers.
“Some people come ev-ery year,” Webster said. She and her sister-in-law, Tammy Webster, have been there through sleet and snow.

The Louisiana Hayride Show brought the country songs and stars of yester-year to life before an appre-ciative crowd at the Stettler Performing Arts Centre last week.
Classic tunes by perform-ers like Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson and Glen Campbell were per-formed by the group dur-ing its concert on Friday, Nov. 14, which attracted upwards of 200 guests.
The touring show takes its name from the classic radio show that aired live from the Municipal Memo-rial Auditorium in Shreve-port, La., on KWKH from 1948 to 1960.
The Louisiana Hayride featured both established stars and up-and-coming performers, and helped to launch the careers of musi-cians like Hank Williams, Sr., Elvis Presley and John-ny Cash.
Host Lori Risling ex-plained that the goal of the show is to keep the music
of the past alive through the band’s performances, which mimic the show in structure and style. All of the performers whose mu-sic is featured must have some connection to the show, however tenuous it may be.
In between songs, she shared trivia and stories, telling how, for instance, the Hayride hired back Hank Williams after he was fired by the Grand Ole Opry program in 1952, due to his struggles with pain-killers and alcohol.
She also told the audi-ence how record producer Sam Philips to speed up his new song, “I Walk The Line,” turning it from a bal-lad into an uptempo num-ber. The song became a No. 1 hit upon its release in 1956.
Friday’s show, lasting more than two hours, began with a performance of Hank Snow’s “Movin’ On.”
Gil Risling performed in character as Hank Wil-liams, who was seen clutch-ing a flask before taking the stage, and as Willie Nelson,
who would begin singing a song he wrote, only to be interrupted by another sing-er who had made it famous.
In the second act, he re-turned as Roy Orbison, donning a thick wig and dark glasses, and impress-ing the audience with his falsetto on songs like “Only the Lonely” and “Crying.”
Lorraine Hartsook per-formed as both Tammy Wynette and Patsy Cline, while pianist and guitarist William Brookfield imi-tated the styles of Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Mike Melnichuk, who al-ternated between guitar and stand-up bass, also sang lead on several songs, like Dick Thomas’ “Sioux City Sue” and Merle Haggard’s “Silver Wings.”
Pictures and records from original Louisiana Hayride artists were on display dur-ing the intermission.
The band has been active for almost five years and will continue touring with a Christmas-themed show in December. For more info, look up the Louisiana Hay-ride Show on Facebook.

Mark Twain, while boarding a train, asked a baggage handler if his briefcase would be strong enough to be checked into the regular luggage com-partment. The man took Twain’s briefcase and threw it on the ground, saying, “That’s what it will get in Philadelphia.” He then took the brief-case and hit it five times against the train and said, “That is what it will get in Chicago.” Then he threw it on the ground and stomped on it vigor-ously. The briefcase split open and papers went fly-ing everywhere. The rail-way employee explained, “That’s what it’ll get in Sioux City. Tell you what...if you’re going any further than Sioux City, I’d suggest you carry your briefcase on the train with you.” Twain, jamming
papers back into the dam-aged briefcase, decided that futuristically, he would take responsibility for his own luggage. In similar fashion, we need to take responsibility for our own lives.
Some years ago, in a moment of discontent (I do experience those from time to time and selfishly speaking I hope you do as well), I developed an adage for my own use. It goes like this...”I am
where I am because I have come here.” In other words, I can blame people and predicaments and cir-cumstances, or just plain bad luck, but at the end of the day, I know that I, and I alone, am responsible for my own life; where it is, where it is going and where it will end up.
The Scriptures, in both Old and New Testaments, leave no doubt about this matter of responsibility. To begin with, we are re-
sponsible for our choice as to whether we will serve God or not. Joshua said, “...choose this day whom you will serve...” (Joshua 24:15).
As followers of God, we are responsible to look out for others; believers and unbelievers. For other be-lievers we are to “consider how we may spur one an-other on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). With respect to
unbelievers, we should, “Let our light so shine be-fore men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heav-en” (Matthew 5:16).
Matthew 12:36 says that, “...every careless word that people speak, they shall give an ac-counting for it…” Ro-mans 14:11,12 sums it all up stating, “...it is writ-ten...says the Lord, every knee shall bow and every
tongue shall confess to God....and each of us will give an account of our-selves to God...”
Daniel Webster, famous attorney, noted orator, but also a fervent Christian was asked, “What is the most important thought you ever entertained?” He deliberated for a moment, then replied, “The most important thought I ever had was my individual re-sponsibility to God.”
I, and I alone, am responsible for my own life

International Games Day was a success at the Stettler Public Library on Saturday, November 15. There were 50 partici-pants playing intently at computers, gaming con-soles and board games throughout the library. Keep watching, because we have had requests for a repeat of this event.
We do have a hold-over from International Games Day: Minecraft. Minecraft
is installed on all of our public computers. This way you can play this game all year round.
Have you ever read any books by the wonder-ful authors found in our province? Until the end of November, the Stettler Public Library has a dis-play highlighting Alberta talent. Let me give you a taste of a couple of titles that can be found there.
The Grads are Playing Tonight by M. Ann Hall is the story of the Edmon-ton Commercial Gradu-
ates Basketball Club. This is an amazing story about the history of one of the greatest women’s basketball teams Canada has ever seen: they played over 400 official games and lost only 20.

Rick Strankman, MLADRUMHELLER - STETTLER
For most of us living in Drumheller-Stettler, few things are more important to us than property rights. We understand that the pur-pose of government is not to manage our lives, but to protect the right to property so individuals and families can manage their own lives.
This past week, two dif-ferent proposals were put forward in Alberta that would pound the fence posts deep when it comes to protecting property rights. The Wildrose Party an-nounced a Private Mem-ber’s Bill that calls for an amendment to the Canadian Constitution. It would apply only to Alberta. The initia-tive, if passed, would en-sure that in Alberta the right to “real property” will be constitutionally protected. In order to pass, the initia-tive requires approval from the Prentice government, the House of Commons, and Senate.
The second property rights proposal advanced this week was put forward by the Grassroots Alberta Landowners Association and publicly supported by organizations like the West-ern Stock Growers, the Economic Education As-sociation, and the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders As-sociation—to name a few.
This second proposal calls for legislation that protects both real property and intangible property. In-tangible property includes things like grazing leases, water licenses, oilsands leases, licenses and approv-als for oil and gas wells,
irrigation licenses, and for-mal authorizations that al-low people to be in the dairy business, run a feedlot, har-vest timber, or engage in a wide range of commercial activities. These types of commercial property-in-struments are referred to as statutory consents.
Statutory consents are not real property in the sense that they are not physical, but on a daily basis they are nevertheless bought, sold, and traded. Many people make the biggest financial decisions of their lives based on the assumed trustworthiness of statutory consents.
Grassroots Alberta says it is absolutely unaccept-able for politicians in Cabi-net—not the government and not the courts, but the politicians in Cabinet—to have the power to show up at someone’s door and without cause or justifica-tion, point a finger and say. “Your oilsands lease, water license, grazing lease, or gravel extraction permit has just been cancelled.”
Since Bill 36 became law in Alberta, this is exactly the kind of power the pro-vincial Cabinet possesses. Plus Bill 36 ensures that when Cabinet does cancel a statutory consent, its deci-sion can’t be appealed to a court unless Cabinet gives its permission. Whether the affected party is eligible for compensation can be up for grabs too.
During his campaign to become PC Party leader, Jim Prentice repeatedly promised to undo the tragic property rights legacy of his predecessors. Wanting to hold Prentice to his word,
Grassroots Alberta set out in step-by-step fashion ex-actly what the government must do in the legislature if Prentice is to keep his word.
The group says the prop-erty rights embodied in statutory consents must be protected by law. If Cabi-net or any arm of govern-ment extinguishes a statu-tory consent, there has to be a justifiable reason. And if such a thing does occur, the affected party must have the right to approach a court and to fair compensation.
The group insists that ev-ery Albertan must have the legal right to be informed before a government regu-lator makes a decision about their property (presently this is not the case); the le-gal right to a hearing when government approves en-ergy and development proj-ects on private land (pres-ently this is not the case); and that landowners must have the legal right to com-pensation when the govern-ment approves a project on adjacent or adjoining land that negatively affects the value of their property.
As the Drumheller-Stet-tler MLA, my responsibili-ty, and desire, is to promote and defend your property rights.

Joel van der VeenINDEPENDENT REPORTER
Members of a local na-ture club offered their help to a fine feathered friend found in Rochon Sands Provincial Park earlier this month.
After finding a snowy owl struggling to fly, they rescued the bird and deliv-ered it to Red Deer, where it was later taken to Medi-cine River Wildlife Cen-tre.
Claudia Lipski, a mem-ber of the Buffalo Lake Naturalists, said she got the call on the afternoon of Nov. 5 about the bird, which had been discov-ered by Jill Higgins.
Higgins had seen the bird while walking along one of the paths at Ro-chon Sands, located along the south shore of Buffalo Lake.
In a post on Facebook, she said the owl was “trying to fly away but couldn’t, so it was just kind of hopping along.”
Higgins alerted her par-ents, Jennifer and Mark — both of whom are part of the Naturalists club, with Mark serving as the group’s president — and they contacted Lipski. She arrived a short time later with a box, blanket and leather gloves.
“It was struggling to fly,” said Lipski, describ-ing how the bird couldn’t fly higher than a couple of feet off the ground when the group approached.
“It did try to get away,” she continued. “We just tossed the blanket over the owl.”
They placed the owl in the box and the Higgins family drove it to Red Deer, delivering it to a
transfer point for Medi-cine River Wildlife Cen-tre, which is located near the hamlet of Raven, about a half hour’s drive north-west of Innisfail.
According to the cen-tre’s executive director, Carol Kelly, the owl is a young male, likely suffer-ing from malnourishment.
“She said the owl had a
concussion,” reported Lip-ski. “It’s doing well and it will be released in the near future.”
Lipski said she and oth-er volunteers in the area are sometimes called to transport injured animals to the Wildlife Centre’s dropoff points. Last week, for instance, she delivered a grouse that had struck the window of a house in Alix.
“I certainly had never held a snowy owl,” she said, adding, “To be that close to one was pretty phenomenal.”
The Buffalo Lake Natu-ralists have been active since 1973 and currently have a membership of around 30 people. The club is part of Nature Al-berta and meets monthly for guest speakers, wild-life surveys and other ac-tivities.
The club’s next meeting is on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. at St. George’s Anglican Church in Stet-tler. The group will host Sofie Forsstrom, who will make a presentation on the animal and plant life she studied in Uzbekistan.
Judy Boyd from the Medicine River Wildlife Centre will also be pres-ent selling the centre’s 2015 calendar, along with Otis the owl. Otis, who is blind, was rescued and brought to the centre; un-able to be released, he is now a permanent resident there.
“There’s a lot of knowl-edge in that club,” said Lipski. “I always go home having learned some-thing.”
The group welcomes new members and guests. For more information, vis-it buffalolakenature.com .

Independent COLUMNSPage 14 The Stettler Independent Wednesday, November 19, 2014
t’s official: winter is here. Snow is starting to fall across most areas around and above the 49th parallel, which will limit the ability to take off the remaining U.S. corn and soybean fields (might have to wait until spring!) The cold could also have a negative effect on the win-ter wheat which has not yet entered a dormancy phase. The market really contin-ues to be pushed higher by the soy complex despite a W.A.S.D.E. report from the U.S.D.A. on Monday, November 11th that was not all that bullish for the oilseed. Comparisons to the 2009/10 marketing year when farmers slowed their soymeal exports are being made as this year, farmer selling of the oil-seed is slow/behind the average. Add this in with a strong cash soymeal mar-ket, poor rail performance, and some technicals point-ing higher, we see soymeal
up above $400/short ton (was at $500 in May/June though). All in all, despite a strong marketing year start for soybeans with regards to demand, a big-ger crop will offset it and while the corn crop isn’t as big as once thought, it’s still huge.
The report showed corn yields dropping from Oc-tober’s estimates to 173.4 bushels per acre, a stark contrast to the upgrade to 175.2 the market was ex-pecting. Nonetheless, a record U.S. corn crop of 14.4 Billion bushels is still coming off and although domestic demand was in-creased, 2014/15 ending stocks are seen at two bil-lion bushels! As for soy-beans, yields were raised by 0.4 from October’s es-timate to 47.5 bushels per acre, a new record (but slightly below analysts pre-report expectations). While output figures were raised to a record 3.96 bil-
lion bushel crop, increased domestic and export de-mand kept the 2014/15 carryout at 450 million bushels. Finally, for wheat, production was relatively unchanged with ending stocks dropping slightly to 644 million bushels and on the global level, only Aus-tralia saw a notable down-grade (now estimating a 24 million-tonne crop but we think it’ll be closer to 22.5 million). From a global carryout perspec-tive, corn stocks are seen building 11 per cent year-over-year to 191.5 million tonnes and soybean inven-tories are ballooning a sig-nificant 35 percent from
the end of 2013/14 to the end of 2014/15.
So what does it all mean?! There doesn’t seem to be any significant bullish fundamentals af-fecting the corn market right now whatsoever. As for the oilseed market, the 2014 crop year has been brought to you by the word “record” – as in record U.S. soybean production, record South American output, and a record E.U. rapeseed crop. Given the reality that crush margins remain quite strong for both canola and soybeans, we may see some increased demand domestically. The only other catalysts that could (read: not for sure) help prices move higher is the relatively slow start to a Brazilian soybean plant-ing season leading to a below-forecasted output there and the pesticide ban in E.U. affecting crop quality and output. As for wheat, the dry seed-bed that Russian planters drilled into could lead to lower production there but
a 12 per cent increase in acres could easily offset any losses. As mentioned, the Australian wheat harvest may get further downgrades but record global production this year is tough to justify higher prices just yet. Overall, this report seemed to act like a commercial and we’ll likely get back to our regular programming with the January W.A.S.D.E., where we can expect final revisions to the production numbers.

Dear Boys & GirlsHave you written your letter to Santa yet?Kids, this year you don’t have to send your letter to Santa all the way to the North Pole. Instead, go to the Stettler Independent and ask my helpers for a special envelope addressed to my headquarters in Stet-tler. Put your letter to Santa in the envelope along with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and deposit in Santa’s mailbox at the Stettler Independent Of ce.
All letters must be received by December 1, 2014.Mrs. Claus and I will work very hard to answer all our letters!

The annual Southern Gospel Concert, organized by Pastor Jim Cullum and friends was held on Satur-day evening in the hall. A potluck supper featured a large variety of food, and was followed by the concert. The Singing Hills, a fam-ily consisting of mom and dad, three of their four adult daughters, a son in law and an eight- year-old grand-son provided an entertain-ing and inspiring evening of music. Originally from Ontario, then Briercrest, Sk, the family now makes their home in Three Hills. They have a family bus and are happy to travel throughout the country.
Our sympathy goes out to the Airey family on the passing of Reg Langford of Red Deer on Nov. 10. Reg is survived by his wife, Clari and children Sean and Col-leen and their families as well as mother in law, Vera Airey. Services were held on Nov. 17 with a family in-terment to follow at a later date in Gadsby.
School children were treated to a six-day holiday, for Remembrance Day, par-ent-teacher interviews and a PD day and the weekend.
Kent and Evelyn Johnson accompanied JD and San-dra and daughters, Devon, Toryn and Aspen to Los Angeles to visit with Micky Mouse & Co. The joined up with Kim and Darrel Mackie, Taylor and Drew and with Kandice Morrison and Forbes all of Vancou-ver. While there, the family visited with Kent’s cousin Greg and Adrianne Abel at Laguna Beach.
Anne Neilson returned from visiting with her chil-dren Mike and Brenda, who both live in British Colum-bia.
Coming events: Nov 26 – Meet and Greet afternoon coffee party at 2 p.m. at the seniors’ centre. Everyone welcome to come and visit their neighbors; Dec. 7 – Elks annual breakfast with Santa, pancakes and trim-mings – 9 to 11 a.m., the school will be also having a bake sale.

A booklet in the muse-um produced by the Don-alda Agricultural Society for the Fourth Annual Ex-hibition in 1921 reveals some interesting infor-mation about the village. Many ads were placed in the booklet by local busi-nesses so that we have a good idea of who was op-erating at the time.
The Brown-Rodd Hard-ware Company Ltd. Don-alda Motor sales special-ized in Ford Cars. J. L. Christenson was a dealer in Chalmers and Max-well cars as well as be-ing Mayor of Donalda. N.J. Holt was a dealer for McLaughlin and Chev-rolet vehicles as well as John Deere implements. The Donalda Garage, of-fering “high class auto repairing”, was operated by Chester Stanlake.
A.S. Woodside was a contractor and builder and agent for I.H.C. Farm Machinery. Revelstoke Sawmill Co. Ltd. provid-ed all kinds of building supplies for houses and barns.
The Palace Meat Mar-ket specialized in fresh and cured meats and also dealt in hides and furs. The Downing Brothers were the proprietors.
The City Café sold ice cream soft drinks cigars and candy. The Ander-son Brothers ran a Hard-ware Store. The Murphey Company sold patent medicines as well as cam-eras.
The Merchants Bank of Canada was managed by A.T. Richardson, Manag-er. By this time there was a lawyer in the Village – Jim Dempsey whose first office was in the Donalda
Hotel. Sigurd Broughton was the licensed Provin-cial auctioneer and valu-ator.
The Hotel Spokely, named after the propri-etor B. H. Spokely, ad-vertised good meals and clean beds. Another ho-tel, The New Hotel, as it was named, stood across from the CNR depot. It charged $38 a month for room and board or good meals for just 40 cents. The proprietor was C.H. Jensen.
W.J. Coffin advertised himself as a drayman, who hauled loads with a long cart. A.L. Wallace was a painter and paper-hanger.
T.C. Paterson was a general merchant who sold groceries, dry goods and shoes “at reasonable prices.” His competition was Vikse Brothers who advertised quality goods in their store. The Wil-ton Store Limited sold a great variety of clothes including Hartt boots for men and women, Ar-row and Tooke shirts and collars, Stanfield under-wear, Robin Hood flour. Rhynes Pharmacy filled out prescriptions but also had an ice cream parlor.
A.C. Johnson was the general blacksmith who did horseshoeing and welding, as well as all kinds of woodwork. Ed Grice was a tinsmith and
plumber.The booklet was pub-
lished by The Donald Re-view, the village’s week-ly newspaper. Donalda was a thriving place in 1921, with a population of about 175.

Well, winter came in a fury and I see no forecast that shows it is leaving any time soon. I hope you are all bundled up and managing the quick adaptation that we have all had to do to at the start of this year’s winter season.
The 4-H beef club did their weigh day back on Nov. 9 and signed up 14 members and one cleaver. They would like to welcome the new and returning members. The steer calves came in good starting weights, so it’s right into the pens and onto the feed for them. The district is hosting a Gord Bamford “Why 4-H is Great” concert down in Drumheller at the Badland Community Facility on Nov. 21 starting at 7 p.m, doors open at 6:30. Melanie and Tracey Nelson still have some tickets for sale if you are interested. They are $25 each, so give them a call at 403-772-0000. The Rumsey clubs next meeting will be Dec. 9 at the Agri-plex and they will be taking food donations for the Drumheller Salvation Army, so anyone can drop their donation off during the meeting from 7:00 – 8:30.
Lowell Nelson is this years’ ambas-sador for the district club and is spear-heading a toy drive for the Ronald Mc-Donald House in Red Deer. You can drop off any new toys during the Dec. 9 meeting as well and Lowell will make sure it gets over there. If Dec. 9 doesn’t work in your schedule, you can drop them off at the library on Tuesdays or Wednesday up until Dec. 17 and he will pick them up.
Carol Wilkins stopped by to let me
know that the first Tuesday afternoon of drop-in curling was a success. They had eight curlers and are looking for more. There are different ways that they are planning to play the game each Tuesday, so odd numbers will not deter them. Stop by and give it a try, it starts at 2 every Tuesday afternoon.
The Rumsey Community Calendar is on sale at the Library. They are $15 each and the library’s only fundraiser of the year. It features pictures from lots of our local amateur photographers and we have some real talent in this community. There are only 75 (and counting) for sale, so get yours early.
Since I didn’t write a column last week, due to lack of news, I thought I would include my one piece of trivia this week. Daylight savings time was developed in New Zealand by a fel-low named George Vernon Hudson in 1895, but wasn’t put into use until 1916 and in Germany and Hungary, not New Zealand. Many countries have ad-opted it into their yearly calendar since then, but it really became popular in the 1970’s during the energy crisis. In-creasing the amount of daylight hours after quitting time benefited recreation-al activities, sports and reduced the evening use of lighting in our homes. I know it has always caused lots of con-troversy through the generations, as far as I am concerned, the clocks can stay on summer time because in the summer I want it to stay light until 10:00 p.m. because I am not interested in getting up at 4 am to enjoy that daylight. In the winter, it is dark in the morning and dark in the afternoon, so what does it really matter?
Bamford concert tickets are still available

The ladies heading to Donalda Community Hall on Nov. 15 were in serious danger of being Rick-Rolled, but all for a good cause.
The second annual Ladies’ Night Out in Donalda raised money for the local school and took on a new theme this year, sending its guests back to the ‘80s with big hair, day-glo clothes, and the synth-heavy rock and pop power ballads that made names for musicians like Ma-donna, Jon Bon Jovi and Rick Ast-ley, whose music has been turned into the Internet meme known as
Rick-Rolling.Big hair was in sight around every
corner, as were bright neon clothes and spandex aerobics clothes as par-ty-goers, some who were just babies themselves during the ‘80s, took a step back in time.
One of the event organizers, Shau-na Wilkie, said the event came close to selling out, falling just tickets short of last year’s inaugural event.
Last year, the event raised money for the new playground at the school which recently had its grand open-ing. While the money from this year’s evening will still be going to the school, it hasn’t been earmarked for one specific project, she said.
“We had such super-positive feed-back after last year’s event that we just had to do it again,” Wilkie said.
Classic games from the 1980s were on every table, whether it was a board game or a rubix cube, and other ‘80s standbys like Twister were set up for people to play.
Donalda’s Mary Mueller won $40 and a handmade scarf after being de-clared the person with the best ‘80s costume, and the 50/50 draw put nearly $500 into the pockets of the school and the winner alike.
Dinner was catered by Donalda’s Teresa’s Catering, providing a hot ham and potato dinner for the party-goers.

Or blizzards, like last year. The blustery snow-storm blew in just in time for the annual fair, limit-ing the number of people who came to sell and buy.
“We have our die-hards, though,” she said.
This year’s weather was perfect, though, as the fair took place in a cold but clear blue-sky day. It kept the numbers high, Webster said.
This year saw the fair expand slightly, as the newly renovated hall annex was available for use. The photographer was back, too, after a few years’ absence.
Food was served out of the kitchen, providing
hungry sellers and buy-ers with homemade chili, the perfect way to shrug off the November chill.
Alfred Hagle from In-nisfail and Arlyne Hingst of Drumheller make up Butterflies by Alfred and Arlyne. Together, they make butterflies out of old magazines, and with an addition of some glit-ter, paint and ribbons, make beautiful butter-flies of various sizes, perfect for Christmas or summer decorating, out of what would otherwise be thrown away.
The two had a table spread with the colour-ful, fluttery insects, as well as a small tree dis-playing even more.
Situated as it is be-tween Stettler and Drum-heller, the fair attracts
crafters from both hubs, as well as some from as
far away as Calgary and Coronation.

Curling is now un-derway in Erskine with men and women’s square draws and new this year is a mixed square draw on Friday nights. Bonspiel dates are yet to be deter-mined.
The Erskine volleyball team placed fifth in the fi-nal volleyball tournament which took place on Sat-urday in Stettler. Basket-ball will now begin -- as yet no dates have been set for that. Don’t forget this is the last week to prepare the Christmas boxes.
There will be a county
ratepayers meeting on De-cember 3 at 7:30 in the IOOF Hall. It will be in-formational and the whole county is welcome to at-tend as the county has de-cided to have only two meetings per year and this is the first. Our councillor is hoping that there will be a good Erskine turnout.
The Erskine knitting club spent Nov. 7,8 and 9 knitting various outfits and blankets to donate to the Christmas hamper. New members are always wel-come and you don’t have to have a knitting machine
to join. Any kind of craft can be done in this club in-cluding crocheting and
cross stitch. Their meet-ings take place the first Thursday of each month
beginning in January at the seniors’ center. I’m not sure whether they begin at 7 or 7:30 but will check at another time.
Barbara Lieurance is the new minister for the United Church in Erskine and everyone is invited to
meet her on Sunday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m. There will be no morning service on that date.
The parent council meeting is Nov. 19 at 5 p.m. in the school library. Child care will be provided for those who need it.

Several folks from our community enjoyed one or more of the performances of “Shrek —The Musical” in Hanna with the final per-formance on Saturday eve-ning.
The Stage Hanna pro-duction featured fantastic local talent delivered with awesome humour. There were many connections to the Endiang — Byemoor area in the cast.
The Endmoor cast con-nections included Marty Brooker and Terri Simp-son; Katie and Jorgie Campbell — Lyle and Shannon Knowles’ daugh-ter and granddaughter; Nadine and Mareena Hein — Gordie and Roxy Galla-gher’s daughter and grand-daughter; Trina and Quinn Peters — Gary and Dolo-res Pearson’s daughter and granddaughter; Heather and Grace Scheler — Ron and Marguerite Brown’s daughter and granddaugh-
ter and Ally Smyth — for-mer Byemoor student and daughter of Ben and Tania Smyth.
Kudos to the entire cast and production crew on a first-class performance, it was very entertaining and a pleasure to see so much talent in a small town.
Two local floor curl-ing teams participated in the bonspiel in Castor last Monday. The teams includ-ed Dave Sisley, Mickey Tucker, Carol Stulberg and Helen Gutsche as well as Herb Gutsche, Carol Sis-ley, Irene Brooker and Eva Nielsen.

The community will be bidding farewell to Kevin and Amanda Andres and their girls Emily and Row-an at the end of the month. The Andres have sold their acreage south of Endiang (the former Eggins place) to a couple from Red Deer. They will be moving to their new home at Carbon at the end of the month.

The Big Valley Oil Kings have embarked on another season in the Battle River Hockey League. The team played their first game of the season this past Sat-urday in Daysland. Day-sland, who eliminated the Kings in the BRHL semi-finals last year, were also the league champions in 2014. Big Valley, made up of some new faces, hasn’t had much success in Day-sland’s home rink. Howev-er, the team stepped up and played a great first game, coming out with a 2-1 win to start the season 1-0. Last year’s BRHL Rookie of the Year Matt Kinnunen started the scoring for the Kings. Newcomer Bren-dan Lamb would score the eventual game winner in the second period. Chance Clark made 30 saves in the win for the team. The Kings now embark on six more road games before the home opener sched-uled for Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Big Valley Agriplex.
The Historical Society reports that their new Tool Museum is making excel-lent progress; they are hoping it will soon have insulation, heat and lights in it since it’s rather dark and cold at present. Mem-bers of the society have also been busy down in the workshop at McAlister Motors accessioning the tool collection. This means they have been numbering, labelling and entering the tool information (descrip-tion, size, etc.) into their computer. So far, they say they have finished about 3000 tools and there are many, many more to go. This week, they were working on hammers, have moved on to axes and are looking forward to a box full of wrenches
coming up in the future. Undoubtedly it will take a few more years to finish the accessioning project.
The Trickster Theatre group is coming to the Big Valley School on Friday, Nov. 21 to help the whole school put on a perfor-mance about Big Valley’s history. The performance will begin at 11 a.m. Ev-eryone is welcome to come out and watch.

The Big Valley Inn Crib group thanks everyone for their participation and hope to see a full house next week at 1 p.m. Ev-eryone is welcome to play.
Twenty-one people were out for Hall Board Bingo last Thursday evening. The elusive progressive jackpot was not won, so it is still building.
Consolation winners
were Donna D’Aoust and Ernest Petrussa. The bo-nanza winner was Barb Skocdopole, who also went home with that con-solation. The loonie pot is sitting at $150 and still building. The next Bingo is on Thursday, Nov. 20 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Come on out and join the fun.

Coach Charisse McDonald knows that in sports, some things are more important than winning – like having fun, im-proving game skills through-out the season and building player confidence.
While the girls’ volleyball team from Stettler Middle School didn’t win any of their games at the 2J CWAJHAAs this past Saturday, Nov. 15, McDonald said she was excep-tionally proud of her team for “being in it” the entire time.
“We didn’t lose any game by more than five points,” she said. “We were in every game.”
There were no routs or easy victories for the other teams at the Stettler-hosted season fin-ishing tournament.
“Every game we played was
close,” including that against eventual tournament victor David Thompson. Stettler lost to them in two sets, a close 25-20 and a heart-breaking nail-biter of 25-23.
“Most schools have a lot of Grade 9 students,” McDonald said, noting that SMS doesn’t have as many as most other schools. “This limits the pool we have to draw from.”
Despite that, McDonald said the Grade 9s on the team worked hard all season, with all players improving by leaps and bounds.
“We improved over the sea-son and were very competi-tive,” McDonald said. “When we win, it’s a bonus.”
The gold battle came down to David Thompson and Ponoka, with both teams battling hard before David Thompson won through two sets, 25-20 and 25-15.

SMS battles hard at home CWAJHAAs
Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER
After more than three decades, the girls’ vol-leyball team from Blusston was able to claim the CWAJHAA 2J championship, beat-ing out the team that has won the most times of any schools to compete – Donalda.
Donalda finished in third place after a flaw-less round-robin, while Erskine School, who competed in the CWA-JHAAs for the first time in almost 20 years, fin-ished fifth.
The tournament took place in the gymnasium at William E. Hay Com-posite High School with Erskine as host.
According to tourna-ment organizer Sheri Morbeck, the tourna-ment went “really well,” despite some “glitches” like one team dropping out at the last minute and a new team shuf-fling in.
In round-robin play, Donalda first beat the girls from Delburne in three sets, before head-ing on to battle against Spruceview. The girls went on to play their
home county rivals and host, Erskine, beating them in two tight sets, both coming in with fi-nal tallies of 27-25.
In the first set of matches in the finals, Donalda lost to Clive in their third set, setting themselves up to play against Spruceview for the bronze, which they won.
“It was very close,” Morbeck, who is also coach to the Erskine team, said of the finals.
The host team beat Delburne in very close sets, but went on to lose to Spruceview and then Donalda, putting them out of the finals.
“Blusston was on fire,” Morbeck said. “I don’t think they were ever forced to the third set.”
In the 31 years the CWAJHAAs have been handing out plaques, it was also the first time for Blusston to have their name added, some-thing that Morbeck said was very special to wit-ness, even though it wasn’t one of the home teams claiming the vic-tory.
“You’re really happy for them,” she said.

Bulldogs might be stubborn, but they were no match for the Stettler Peewee B team as they headed to Blackfalds this past weekend.
On Nov. 15, the team faced the Blackfalds Bulldogs on their home ice, defeating them 4-2 in a closely fought game.
Ty Dowling netted the first goal against Bulldogs’ net-minder D Marcynuik, putting Stettler on the board 1-0. A goal a few minutes later from Blackfalds evened the score and the first period ended in a tie.
Despite several shots on goal by both teams and several penalty play opportunities, neither team managed to eke out a goal in the second period, though Stettler netminder Rayden Baskey made several heart-stopping saves.
Stettler burst onto the ice in the second in an effort to break the tie, scoring just minutes into the period with a goal by Justin Devloo. Eight minutes later, Dowling scored his second goal of the game, giving the Stettler team a comfortable 3-1 lead.
It didn’t remain comfortable for long as just two minutes later, Blackfalds scored while short-handed, narrowing the gap and increasing the pressure on Baskey in net.
Brier Devnich, however, slipped the puck past Marc-ynuik to bring the score back to a comfortable two goal, 4-2 score, which is where the game finished.Atom Boys
Stettler Atom A were hosted in Red Deer on Nov. 15 to play the Red Deer Sheratons, losing 14-4. Quinton Hansel and Chance Morbeck scored in the first period, then Bret Hymers and Carter Zuk in the second.
Over in Castor on the same day, Atom B faced the Cas-tor Atom Cyclones, battling it out to an even tie. Yuvraj Uppal scored in the first, Carter Kranzler scored twice in the second, along with a single from Cade Wilkie, and in the third, Zach Forseth scored twice and Brogan Hoopfer netted a single. Kranzler scored his third goal of the game with only 40 seconds remaining in play, taking advantage of a powerplay, to tie the game.Bantam Boys
The West Yellowhead Rockies headed to Stettler on Saturday, Nov. 15, where they lost 14-2. Stettler Bantam A owned the first and second periods, keeping the Rock-ies scoreless while racking up points. Adam Shirley and Brenden Tucker both scored in the first, while Kameron Bainbridge netted two and Rhett Shingoose a single in the second, ending the first two periods at 5-0.
It looked like the Rockies were going to continue the painful rout after two goals just minutes into the third, courtesy of Tucker and James Switenky, but then they broke the curse and netted their first, bringing the score to 7-1. Switenky scored two more and Tucker his third of the game, while Carter Van Esch netted his first before the Rockies scored their second goal.
The rout of the visiting team continued, with Switenky claiming two more goals and Shingoose his second, before the buzzer sounded on the game, ending it a painful 14-2.
It was more of the same the next day as the Yellowheads returned to face the Bantam A team, though it was less painful a defeat. Tucker scored first, while Erik Rost and Brayden Smith rounded out the first 3-2 period.
In the second, Bainbridge netted two, one on a power-play and one while short-handed, and Shingoose claimed a solo.
Starting the third the Bantam As had a comfortable 6-2 lead, which they extended with goals by Shingoose and Switenky.
Bantam B had a less easy weekend with a Friday game against the 3Cs, narrowly eking out a 6-5 lead. Jackson Squires scored twice in the first period to give Stettler an early lead, which was extended in the second with four more goals, another from Squires, two from Delaney An-derson, and a solo from Nathan Bauer.
The third started 6-3, and Stettler was hard-pressed to keep the hungry 3Cs from their own net. Goalie Jared Lee managed to stop a solid 40 shots made on the net through-out the game, though he let two slide by in the third. How-
ever, it wasn’t enough for the 3Cs, who almost managed to come back from the deficit.Midget Boys
The Stettler Legion Midgets continued their winning ways, having not lost – though they’ve tied – games this season. On Nov. 15 they faced the Jasper Bearcats, win-ning 9-4 in Jasper.
Andrew Bauman and Quade Cassidy scored twice, while Tanner Steinwand, Kieran Rost and Stefan Du Toit each netted singles.
In the second, Zach Werbowesky and Ethan Rost each scored a single goal in the first and second period, respec-tively.
The team headed to Edson for a game the next day, win-ning a nail-bitingly close 3-2.
Edson led 2-1 after the first period, with Matt Sylves-ter’s goal putting the Stettler team on the board. The sec-ond, despite Stettler’s furious attempts on the net, came up empty for both teams.
In the third period, Sylvester netted his second of the game to tie it up, with Du Toit edging the visiting team ahead of the host.
Midget B had a painful Nov. 16 game against the Sundre Huskies, losing 11-2. Their goals came in the third period courtesy of Brendan Pederson and Jeff Ternes.
They recovered for the next game on Monday, Nov. 17 in Forestburg, where they tied the Thunderstars 5-5. Tye Mulgrove and Cole Pedersen scored in the first, which ended in a tie 2-2. Tristen Nixon managed to tie it up again in the second with another goal. Chase McGonigal put the Stettler team ahead for the first time in the third period, but the Thunderstars evened up and pulled ahead. It was look-ing dire for the Bantam Bs when Brett Coleman slapped the puck past the Thunderstars’ netminder with only 10 seconds left in play, evening the game up to end in a tie.
In Midget C action, Stettler faced the 3Cs on home ice Nov. 14, winning a strong 10-1. Rylan Stefanik, Steven McCrea and Scott Verhoeven each scored in the first peri-od, with Stefanik netting two more in the second. McCrea scored his second of the game, while Tanner McDermand and Tristen Bryce got themselves on the board with a goal each before the buzzer rang on the second.
McDermand and Verhoeven each scored in the third, be-fore the 3Cs got themselves their sole puck in net with just two seconds left in play.
It was less of an easy game on Nov. 15 in Ponoka, where Stettler managed to tie up the game 5-5.
Chase Dolliver and Ryan Mielke scored in the first, and Brycen Bainbridge in the second. In the third, McCrea net-ted his only goal of the game.Girls’ Hockey
Stettler Atom girls headed to Daysland on Nov. 16 where they won 6-2. Gabby Heck and Ashley Lang scored in the first to lead 2-1, with Lang netting the second period’s only goal for both teams to extend the lead. In the third, the final tally was reached by another goal by Lang, and singles from Emma Nixon and Megan Zimmer.
The Stettler Peewee girls lost in Wainwright 4-3 Nov. 15, battling back hard against an early 3-0 deficit. Brittany Anderson netted two goals with Brooke Warner taking the third.
Wainwright headed to Stettler the next day, where the girls handed the visiting girls a 3-1 loss, courtesy of goals from Ava Lee, Warner and Willow Sorensen.
The Lacoka Warriors were handed a 4-3 loss on Nov. 16 in Stettler, though they opened the game with the only first period goal. Krysta Froese and Madison Kuefler tied it up and pulled ahead in the second, though another Lacoka goal saw the teams heading into the third with a 2-2 tie.
After the Warriors pulled ahead, Kaccee Ward managed to tie up the game again, while a goal from Kuefler put the local team ahead and kept them there with hard work from goalie Rebecca Bridge.
The Stettler OK Tire Storm Midget girls kept on their winning ways against Leduc with a 4-1 victory. The team has tied once this season and lost no games.
Courtlyn Bardwell and Kelsie Litkie scored in the first, with Miranda Storch and Ashley Sharpe each netting a goal in the second.

LAWSONGordon ArnoldMay 6, 1932 - Nov. 3, 2014 Gordon passed away November 3rd, 2014 at Stettler Hospital at the age of 82 years. Gordon was born in Hanna, Alberta on May 6th, 1932 to Laurence and Lela Lawson. His early years were spent in many places in Alberta as his father worked for the CNR and they moved a lot. Gordon, eventually, worked in the oil patch. In 1952 he met Barbara Bogdanovich. They were married in 1955 and lived in Stettler where he worked
for the Stettler Co-op, Freightways, Superior Garage and Schlumberger. They then moved to the family farm in the Fritz Hill area. It was here where he cultivated his talents of building and fi xing to become a jack of all trades. In 1963 their daughter, Lona, was born. In 1977 they sold the farm and moved to the Warden area. In 1984 Lona married Garth Benjamin and to this union there were two children, Stacey and Dylan. Over the years Garth became one of Gordon’s closest friends. During this time Gordon and Barbara purchased a home in Arizona and were able to spend some time each year in their home away from home. They then retired and moved to Stettler in 1998. Since then they have enjoyed living among their many friends, neighbours, and wonderful church family.Gordon was predeceased by his parents, Laurence and Lela Lawson, brothers, Roy and Raymond Lawson, sisters-in-law, Phyllis and Sylvia, sister and brother-in-law, Florence and Raymond Smith, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Steve and Mollie Bogdanovich.The funeral service was held on Monday, November 10th, 2014 at 2:00 pm at the St. Peter Lutheran Church in Stettler with Rev. Karl Faltin offi ciating. Interment followed the service at the Lake View Cemetery.As an expression of sympathy and in loving memory of Gordon, memorial contributions may be made to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation or to a charity of your choice in care of Brennen Funeral Home and Cremation Services P.O. Box 193 Stettler, Alberta TOC 2LO, who have been entrusted with the care and funeral arrangements. 403.742.3315.

WOLANSKYRandy StewartIt is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our adored husband, father, papa, son, and brother, Randy Stewart Wolansky at the age of 60 on November 6, 2014. Randy was born on June 12, 1954 in Lac La Biche, Alberta to Harry and Anne Wolansky of Caslan, Alberta.On July 17, 1976 Randy married Valma Hocko, his sweetheart, wife and soulmate, moving them to their forever community of Stettler, Alberta where they had two children, Nadine and Michael. In 2006 Randy and Val built their dream home where they have spent countless hours together planting trees, laying sod and building patios. If he wasn’t busy planting or building something Randy could be found driving his tractor cutting grass or spreading mulch only stopping to light a fi re for a wiener roast or because the sun went
down too soon. Leaving his school years behind, Randy began his lifetime career in the Oilfi eld Industry, working for the same company, through several name changes, the last being Boart Longyear Canada. Randy has always been an “outside” guy. From the stick over his shoulder as a child to the gun on his shoulder as an adult, Randy lived for September and the beginning of hunting season. Loading up his “hunting lodge” which he fully renovated to provide him with all the comforts of home, along with his Argo and trusty 270, made him a happy man. Once hunting season faded into winter months, Randy and Michael would load up their sleds and venture off into the mountains of B.C., the deep snow of Sicamous and Fernie calling their names. They would spend quality father and son sledding time, returning home to share pictures and stories of their time together. Randy’s family has always been the love of his life. His time off work meant spending treasured time with his wife and children who he loved dearly. But once his grandchildren started to come along he was the proudest Papa ever. From reading stories to looking at tractor brochures nobody could spoil a grandchild better. Ignoring the dirty looks of his children Randy would simply say, “What? Papa’s home, Papa can do what he wants.” The love he had for his grandchildren can only be described by seeing the smile on his face and the sparkle in his eyes. Predeceased by his father, Harry Wolansky in 2001; Randy is survived by his loving family: wife of 38 years, Val; daughter Nadine (Cory) Wachter; son Michael (Lyndsey); grandchildren: Anna Wachter, Brayden and Morgan Wolansky; mother Anne Wolansky; sister Bev (Keith) Scott; brother Regan (Liana); father and mother in law Mike and Alma Hocko; sisters in law: Teena (Wayne) Beniuk, Alva (Gary) Mouille, Dennise McLean and Jan (Ron) Nimmo; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; very special friend and partner, his cat Ruger, along with many other dear friends and co-workers.A celebration of Randy’s life was held on Thursday, November 13, 2014 with a gathering of family and friends, at the Stettler Funeral Home, Stettler, Alberta. Donations in memory of Randy are gratefully accepted to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation c/o Stettler Funeral Home & Crematorium, Box 1780, Stettler, Alberta T0C 2L0, who have been entrusted with the care and arrangements.

Independent SCHOOL ZONEWednesday, November 19, 2014 The Stettler Independent Page 31
By Elli Anderson & Abbey Bohn, Grade 8 Students
Staff and students en-joyed an extended week-end this past week, only travelling to school for two days. What a full-packed two days they were.
On Nov. 13, students braved the cold, and at-tended their third swim-ming lesson. Teachers and students alike are enjoying the shake up to their regular routine, and welcoming all the new challenges they face in the pool.
On Nov. 14, Christ-King dressed in blue for National Diabetes Day; a special thanks to JDRF and Mrs. Zimmerman for providing all students with a set of cool blue shades. Students enjoyed an afternoon of wear-ing sunglasses indoors to show their support.
On Nov. 16, Christ-King Catholic Church
held Mass in honour of Education Sunday. It was a time in which everyone celebrated all Catholic educators, and thanked them for their dedica-tion and hard work. It was wonderful to have so many community members come join the Mass, which many stu-dents from Christ-King Catholic School partici-pated in. From greeting at the doors, singing in choir, being alter servers, and leading the readings, Christ-King students were the first to honour our teachers.
Father Don focused on the importance of using your talents that God has given you, and not bury-ing them away from the world. He instructed to not waste your talents, as they are given to bring glory to our Creator.
Teachers should be es-pecially thanked, as they use their talents to cul-tivate the talents of oth-ers. On a daily basis, the
staff at Christ-King spend hours encouraging, push-ing, and applauding ev-ery student within their classroom. They inspire us when we slip, and cel-
ebrate when we achieve. Each one brings a spe-cial talent to the teaching team at Christ-King, mak-ing our school a wonder-ful place of growth, love,
and family. Teachers were given a
special blessing by Father Don, and were invited to join other parishioners after Mass for coffee and
snacks. A big thank-you to Miss. Delhommeau for organizing and practicing with all volunteer stu-dents to make Education Sunday such a success!
Report cards will be heading home on Friday, November 21. Parent-teacher interviews will follow on Thursday, Nov. 27. Stay tuned Stettler.Classroom Sneak Peak
Looking into the Grade 8/9 class of Christ-King, we see a lot of hard work and accomplishments tak-ing place. In Language, the junior highs are be-ginning a fun unit of debating. They will be using formal structured debates to discuss many issues that their genera-tion faces. In Religion, they just finished their fi-nal project on the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Students made a visual presentation with ex-planations of each gift, and qualities and occu-pations that fit in each category.

The Grade 1s were too cool on Friday, as they sported their blue outfits and awesome sunglasses in gym in support of the Diabetes Day.
