‘Celebrate Canada’ with Loose Change in concert and spectacular fireworks Moush Sara John INDEPENDENT REPORTER It was a fusion of colours as people came out early in drones to West Stettler Park on Wednesday, July 1, to celebrate 148th Canada Day. With the weather keeping up well, it was easily among one of the biggest attendance the park had had. With the band Loose Change playing, it was just some plain old fun in the sun, and that seemed to be just fine with the community. “It has just been a great day with the family,” said Mary Yanitski, who was visiting from Edmonton with her two girls. “The weather’s been great and we are looking forward to the music and fireworks later to-
day.” People had come out with blankets, lawn chairs, and other seating arrangements to enjoy the long hours at the park. There were two food trucks that had parked, doing brisk business. Kids scaled the hills in the park, and skateboarded and biked along the paths. Children had a field day as they played games and had cupcakes, which was a part of the celebrations. Loose Change, part of Entertainment in the Park, had Jeff Lee as lead vocal and on rhythm guitar. Wayne Carstairs was on guitars and background vocals, along with brother Dave Carstairs, who was playing bass. And Scott McKnight played drums and was lead and
background vocals. Although the band was on stage from around 6:30 p.m., warming up, they didn’t begin their performance till 8. Starting with soft rock numbers, they also played requests from the crowd, including classics and old numbers. As the sun set more people strolled in and the park transformed into a place of community, culture, and music. “We love playing in Stettler, although we have played in neighbouring towns and cities like Calgary and Edmonton,” said band member Wayne Carstairs. This was Loose Change’s third time playing at Canada Day celebrations. “We know the town loves

music and we are going to play a wide variety,” said Jeff Lee before the start of their performance. “Some country, some classic rock to old numbers. Maybe even some heavy metal.” With night descending gradually, people started getting ready for the fireworks, and moved towards the water across which the fireworks would be launched. Around quarter past 11, the fireworks lit up the sky with a deluge of colours and for the next 10 minutes held the crowd in rapture with a spectacular show. Between the sounds of fireworks and the appreciative silence that filled the air, Canada Day had come to a beautiful end.

group of royal-watchers threw a birthday celebration tea in Stettler. Hosted by Sylvia Telford the tea, held on Friday, July 3, joined others held to celebrate the birth of Princess Charlotte’s older brother, Prince George, and the marriage of their parents before that in 2011. Held at Telford’s Stettler home, both the inside and back patio were decorated with House of Windsor paraphernalia, from magazines and books about the Cambridges and the Duke’s parents, the Prince of Wales,
Prince Charles, and the late Diana. The back patio was set up with lace over a colourful tablecloth, special Union Jack napkins, and baby napkins and British candies. “I’ve just always loved it,” Telford said. One of her earliest memories is getting on the train with her father to ride to Saskatoon in the winter, so she could see Queen Elizabeth – then still just a princess – on a tour in Canada. “I just thought it was amazing,” she said. Though she’s not part of a monarchist league, she keeps abreast of the happenings in

For the tea, she decorated her home with the books and magazines she’d collected, but also brought out wedding and special occasion plates depicting pictures of the Prince and then-Princess of Wales and the Cambridges. The ladies invited to the tea arrived in style, dressed to the nines, in a limousine provided by Aspen Ford for the occasion. Retiring to the back patio, which was under the full glare of a hot prairie sun, the ladies sat under a canopy to enjoy homemade rhubarb punch and chat about the new baby Princess, the decision to honour her grandmother through her middle name, and other happenings from the community. For tea, they headed indoors, where it was cooler, and socialized until it was time to clamber back into the limousine for a ride through Stettler to their individual homes.

Drunken joyride in stolen truck leads to charges Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER An 18-year-old Stettler man is likely rueing his decision to steal a truck and take it for a ride through Stettler and Lacombe after the choice netted him a bevy of charges to which he must now answer. The man, who according to Stettler RCMP Cpl. Cameron Russell is “well known to police,” allegedly stole a white Ford pickup truck in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 5. Police received complaints of a dangerous driver in a white truck, swerving and driving erratically, but were unable to locate the vehicle while patrolling the area in which the activity was reported. “We couldn’t find him because he’d gone to Lacombe,” Russell said. Lacombe Police spotted the vehicle, which was still driving erratically, and signalled the vehicle to stop, but the driver instead led police on a chase. The chase ended in a parking lot where the driver allegedly crashed the truck into several parked vehicles, damaging it enough that he couldn’t continue. With police closing in, the suspect exited the vehicle and ran for it, shortly thereafter being arrested by police. The accused is now facing a charge each of impaired driving, dangerous driving, possession of stolen property greater than $5,000 and failure to comply with conditions.
busy week, responding to 10 domestic violence incidents, a number that Russell said was a “spike.” “We are always dealing with domestic issues,” he explained. “The number of calls is what’s unusual.” Russell said the time of the year plays a factor in an increase in calls, though the number last week was unusual. “A lot of families are going on vacation, and they’re spending more time together,” Russell said. “And other families can’t, and that sometimes causes issues.” Russell said that a lot of the domestic issues happen between couples who’ve already had run-ins with the law, and have been ordered to stay away from each other. For whatever reason, that doesn’t seem to happen. “People breach conditions all the time, getting in contact with the other party,” he said. “That’s a safety concern for all involved.” Domestic issues can vary in severity, from all-out violence between individuals to custody arguments. “The RCMP is trying to mediate,” Russell said. For people in an abusive situation, and unsure what to do to change it, Russell said the supports are there in the community.
“There’s Heartland Victim Services,” he said, explaining that the organization, which runs out of the RCMP detachment but is not affiliated with police, has a long list of contacts and programs to assist people trying to leave abusive situations. “You can also call us,” he said. “If you think someone’s being abused, call us and tell us what’s going on.” The RCMP’s administrative line, which is used for non-emergency calls, can be dialed at 403-742-3382. Summer Road Safety The Town of Stettler has erected digital speed signs in West Stettler Park in the hopes of slowing down motorists in the kid-frequented area, Russell said. The speed limit on the road that runs along the baseball fields, the skate park, and the Rotary Spray Park is 30km/h, slower
than the 50km/h found elsewhere in town. “This is nothing new,” Russell said. “This has always been the speed limit here. With so many kids at the skate park, and then little kids at the spray park down the road, it’s important people slow down.” In addition to the speed signs, Stettler’s Integrated Traffic Unit (ITU) is on the road, focusing on motorcyclists for motorcycle month. “They’ll be looking for motorcycle safety issues,” Russell said. With the nicer weather now warming the prairies, the number of motorcycles on the road has risen significantly, something of which drivers of other vehicles should be aware. The smaller vehicles are harder to see in blind spots and intersections, so being aware of the increase of two-wheeled vehicles on the road can make all the

Cancan Girls, action plays and band Domino make Klondike Nites Reunion a huge hit Moush Sara John INDEPENDENT REPORTER Donalda opened up its quiet community on Friday and Saturday, July 3 and 4, to visitors and communities from nearby towns as it hosted Donalda Klondike Nites Reunion 2015. The Klondike Nites started in 1956, said Pat Dinsmore, with the whole town participating in it. But, it fizzled out over the years. Therefore, the excitement in the community was palpable as the town started preparations for the comeback. “The first night was quite exciting, with lots of people from the town itself enjoying the on-stage entertainment and festivities,” said Dinsmore. “I wanted to bring back Klondike Nites to give back to the community, to allow the people of Donalda relive its glory.” Featuring a wide range of entertainment, Klondike Nites was a family event,
which maintained the theme of yesteryears. The event started on Friday with rib supper, which was followed by stage entertainment in the community hall. Later that evening, Rick Stenlund and his band entertained the crowds. There was a 50/50 draw organized, which kept the community up till later in the night. Saturday was a big day as the Donalda parade took off from the school grounds, led by the RCMP, and followed by a horse carriage with cancan girls, one of the main attractions. One of the mainstays of the town, the parade had been a part of Donalda rodeo, going back to the mid 1980s. But later on, it became integral to Canada Day celebrations in the town. Donalda Mayor Bruce Gartside with wife Brenda and MP Kevin Sorenson, were among those who led the parade in their antique

As part of the evening performance of Donalda Klondike Nites Reunion 2015, men volunteered to do the cancan dance to huge applause from the crowds that had gathered in the community hall. cars, followed by local businesses from Donalda and neighbouring towns, such as Stettler, and ranchers and farmers. There
were also decorative floats from local organizations, like the Donalda and District Museum. The streets teemed with
children and adults waiting to collect candies and sweets. Parade vehicles honked every time candies were hurled into the air,
which alerted onlookers to be ready with their candy bags. The evening started with steak supper, followed by on-stage entertainment and events in the community hall. With a lineup of cancan girls, singers, men’s cancan, Klondike Betty and short plays such as ‘Gambling with Bogus Bucks’ and ‘Shooting of Dan McGrew’, the crowds had a great time. Alongside the entertainment, there were re-crowning of the former Klondike Queens, and contests for women’s, men’s and children’s costumes. There were prizes also for the grizzliest, youngest, and best overall beards, as contestants came up on stage to be judged. Local band Domino was the highlight of the evening. They were hosted in the tent and played popular numbers, which kept the crowds on their feet till the end.
Canada Day marked in Endiang with memorial gymkhana Moush Sara John INDEPENDENT REPORTER Endiang came alive for the 12th annual Wade Buchwitz Memorial Gymkhana on Canada Day. The outdoor arena of the Riding and Roping Club where the event was held teemed with participants and spectators alike, with horse trailers, holiday trailers, horses and people from neighbouring counties. “It’s a fun and family event and ages from two right up to 90 can participate,” said Twila Buchwitz. “Since it isn’t a serious competition, everyone, especially kids can come out and practice and get a feel of what its like.” The youngest participant this year was two years old, and a cousin to Wade’s, said Buchwitz. Wade Buchwitz passed away at the age of 20, in 2003. Buchwitz had a flair for life and greatly enjoyed rodeo, gymkhanas and the ranch life. Firmly ensconced in the rodeo culture, it was only fitting that the gymkhana is held in his memory, and has evolved
into an occasion for families and friends to reunite and celebrate his legacy. The results at the gymkhana are as follows: Cattle penning – 1. Scott, Abbegayle and Gavin Brady; 2. Alison, Todd and Mikenna Schauer. Tinymite poles – 1. Addison Rock, 2. Wyatt Elder. Peewee poles – 1. Macey Burns, 2. Ellie Grover. Junior poles – 1. Mikenna Schauer, 2. Tori Brower.

Museum birthday bash packs a wallop of fun Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER Stacey Lavallie/Independent reporter
The Stettler Town and Country Museum’s 10 acres of land was crawling with Canada Day fun-seekers during the morning and afternoon of July 1 as the museum held it’s annual free museum Canada Day celebrations. With a barbecue, popcorn, tractor rides, free admission and kids’ games held all day long, families thronged to the site, filling the lawn with parked vehicles, and the museum’s pathways with children, parents and grandparents frequently in tow. The Stettler Antique Tractor Club, which operates out of the museum, offered free hay tractor rides around the museum grounds, and a second antique tractor was available for people to drive, under the guidance of one of the club’s members. For those who hungered, the museum had a wide option of hotdogs, burgers, taco salad, popcorn, and freezies, with the money being raised at the concession going to the museum’s coffers. Face painting at one museum building ensured that almost all the children running around were colourfully decorated, whether or not they were waiting for the kids’ games to start or were gulping down a hotdog or burger. The annual free Canada Day celebration brings in hundreds of fun-seekers during the afternoon, people showing up to enjoy the performance of the national anthem and birthday cake shortly after. “We ran out of cake this year,” Museum manager Karen Wahlund said with a laugh. She and her museum staff and volunteers barely had a chance to sit down all day, flitting from one spot to another as they managed events and groups of guests. The last part of the afternoon was devoted to children’s games, happening on the lawn

Independent VOICES
What’s behind Greece’s financial crisis? Greece is in the headlines of the global media with lots of stories, commentary, analysis and interviews. Almost all of the reporting talks about the heavy burden that the country faces in the wake of the debt crisis that seems to be eluding a solution. The International Monetary Fund, one of the creditors to the country, openly said last week despite the insistence of other creditors not to - that the solution of the Greek debt problem would require at least another US $70 billion credit, in addition to a substantial debt restructuring program, to put the country on a sustainable growth path so that it can pay its current total debt of more than US $220 billion. So while there is lots of both praise and anger towards the Greek people for having rejected the terms for a bail out program in last Sunday’s referendum, there is little talk of how Greece came to this point. And that history is necessary to realize why another financial assistance program to that country must be carefully monitored and supervised and why the
talk of the Greek leaders about their country being enslaved by Europe is just hollow words. Greeks brought that crisis unto themselves with their irresponsible approach to financial management and by lying both to themselves and to the world. Way back in 2002, when Greece, alongside with other European Union nations, adopted the single currency Euro, it did so without preparing their finances properly for the transition. Their public debt was way beyond the limits set by the criteria established by the Copenhagen declaration adopted by the EU leaders. But they had (who else?) investment bankers Goldman Sachs to cook their books in such a way that their finances were shown as in perfect shape to join the Eurozone. At the time, the primary goal for the Greek government and the Greek companies was to be able to use credits from European banks with very low interest rates, thanks to the strength of the single currency; and obtain credits, they did, in large amounts and
mainly from French and German banks. Well it can be said that credit is the main tool for an economy to grow, and it may be right. But Greeks lacked another important input required for growth: work ethic. The credits secured from European banks did not go into investment, but to wasteful spending. I happened to be in Albania, Greece’s western neighbour, when the first signs of the crisis started to emerge and there was much more information available in the region about the causes of the problems. The news focusing on the wasteful use of cheap Euro credits that was widely reported included public sector workers’ wages being increased to levels above the average Eurozone rates without any productivity increase and additional bonuses and premiums for managers of state-owned enterprises. At one point, it was reported that a desperate Athens municipality had to hire helicopters to photograph certain neighbour-
hoods of the city from the air in order to have a correct count of the residences with swimming pools, in an effort to be able to collect proper property taxes from the owners of those residences. In short, what has been happening in Greece is something of their own making and while they are playing the victim, they are not being totally honest. That doesn’t mean that middle and low-income families have not been suffering as a result of this crisis, but before blaming European leaders for their misery, Greek people should know where to point the fingers. How or whether the crisis is to be resolved is still unknown. The amount of money involved is huge and it could trigger another global financial crisis if bankruptcy of Greece leads to a contagion. And if it does, they will be the party responsible for another financial meltdown. A sad situation for a country, which claims to be the birthplace of democracy. – Mustafa Eric
Impact study says it all … Now we need some action! Whenever one hears about another ag industry study being released one tends to approach it with some cynicism. University academic studies are treated with the most wariness as they can be filled with tedious arcane language and baffling charts, of interest only to other academics. Such documents usually need translation in order to see if there is any sense to the study. That is certainly not the case with a study released by Alberta Beef Producers and done by the Miistakis Institute of Mount Royal University. The study is entitled “Impact of Wildlife to Beef Producers.” I would boldly suggest that there has been no study that so thoroughly lays out the reality of the situation facing cattle producers as they grapple with this exasperating problem. The study goes where no one has gone before and lays the groundwork to much needed resolutions. This study should be required reading by not just livestock producers – but by every government official that has anything to do with the topic. Although probably futile,
green lobby groups, the fishing and hunting lobby and other related wilderness groups would probably broaden their narrow perspectives if they made an effort to understand the situation by reading this document. The executive summary states: “This research was developed to improve the understanding of the interactions between beef producers and wildlife and the financial losses due to the impact because of wildlife (ungulates, carnivores and birds) on beef producers in Alberta. Wildlife impacts include financial losses such as depredation events, forage competition, stored feed loss, property damage, and prevention and management activities.” The study meets its goals and does it with cold-blooded facts and common sense. It asks the obvious questions, but then goes a step further and delves into motives and the different perspectives of producers in certain scenarios. One finds that most producers accept the reality of wildlife on their property as part of the business, most wel-

That seems to be around a 1 per cent to 5 per cent loss factor from predators, with forage losses somewhat higher. It is dependent on the area, but the biggest wildlife impact in this study is the growing problem of feed and forage loss due to rampaging ungulates and birds. The main area of concern being pastures and feedyards. The study suggests that the problem may be much worse as it would seem many producers can’t be bothered with reporting feed losses or find it hard to make good estimates. At times that also seems to affect predator loss reporting as verification is a problem. One big hole in the study, which the authors admit, is that it does not include losses to coyotes. Yet producers
identify that predator as the main culprit in lethal losses. It isn’t explained clearly why coyotes were excluded but I expect it has to do with jurisdictional issues. Coyotes come under different legislation in Alberta and are defined as agricultural pests rather than wildlife. Notwithstanding the technical definition, common sense should have prevailed and coyotes should have been part of the study. An interesting tidbit was the note that predator compensation in some American states was paid out at up to 10 times the market value of the animal. That’s not done in Alberta, in fact it seems compensation, when it is paid, is below market value. The idea with using a multiplier factor is to provide an incentive to landowners not to take
lethal action against the predator. The idea is that non-action will preserve large iconic predators like wolves, cougars and bears. It’s a concept that should be considered for this province, perhaps as a pilot project. That approach causes one to connect it to the Ecological Goods and Services concept. The study does allude to the responsibility of the public good and interest in the wildlife impact issue. The point being, which is so familiar to producers that over a maximum loss level, the public needs to pay the financial losses for the damage their wildlife are doing to producers’ livestock. The study also comments on mitigation steps that are being done to reduce losses and makes suggestions what further actions could be taken. It’s a study that covers too much ground to be reported on in short column. One sincere hope is that it will lead to additional research and some real action steps to deal with this most frustrating issue. It’s well worth reading for producers and the public.

Duty is mine. Results are God’s I read an online article that claimed that Jesus was a failure. The writer, (internet nickname of Wizenedsage), referring to a passage from Matthew 10 said, “According to the Bible, Jesus’ primary mission on earth was to modify Judaism for the Jews, as their Messiah.” He maintains that Jesus failed to accomplish this. Obviously, Mr. “wise and sage” missed numerous passages where Jesus deliberately contacted and ministered to individuals of non-Jewish extract. He also missed Jesus’ paramount and repeatedly stated motivation, which was “...to
do what God wants! He is the one who sent me, and I must finish the work that He wants me to do” (John 4:34). Certainly, Jesus did not match up with the anticipations or meet the expectations of many of His day. Nevertheless, Jesus, in God’s eyes, in the biblical record and in my view was not a failure, but a great success. He did finish the work that God gave Him and expressed this verbally in John 19:31, saying, “It is finished.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer correctly stated, “The figure of the Crucified invalidates all thought
Faith & Reflection ROSS HELGETON 403-742-5020 • REVRH@TELUS.NET which takes success for its standard.” So Jesus was and is a success! But what about me? And you? How do we determine true success? Clearly, if our criteria for measuring success is wrapped up in the expectations of others, we will always feel like

failures, for we will never please everyone. Observing the matter from another angle, possibly the quickest and most common way to failure is by placing difficult, demanding, even impossible expectations upon ourselves. When we are open and honest about this, we may find that we are our own worst and most unforgiving critic. True success will not be achieved, nor enjoyed until we can accept and forgive our own failures. Further, success cannot be solely measured by everything going right...and it
cannot simply be the opposite of failure. Many things go wrong and often, success is the result of a series of failures. Failure presents us with an opportunity to improve and do better next time. John Quincy Adams, sixth US President, following his presidency and seeking the abolition of slavery, served in Congress. With remarkable consistency, every bill that he presented was defeated.

Results are God’s.” That is a very successful way of managing failure; especially when we consider that Adam’s desires with reference to slavery were ultimately realized and his goals achieved. Larger horizons and longer-range thinking are required! Most define success by numbers, dollars and kudos. God measures success by the degree that we accomplish His goals and purposes in our lives.

More elevator history from Botha area Louise Bellair BOTHA BOOSTER Come on to the seniors’ centre tonight at 7:15 p.m. and enjoy a friendly game of Bingo. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Make sure you also come out every Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. and join your friends in a great visit over a cup of coffee or two. They would love to see you. Then that same day, come out at 1 p.m. and join in a friendly game of floor curling. This activity happens every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon starting at 1 p.m. Tomorrow, July 9, John Hankins will be celebrating his birthday. So happy birthday John, I hope you have a fantastic one. Let’s now take another look at the elevators that were in the Botha area. In 1911, Alberta Grain Company started up a second elevator. They changed their name at this time to Alberta Pacific Grain Company. Some of the early agents were AW Bruce, Jack Ferrier and Ben Williams. In later years, Art Rounds, George Blair and Tom Johnson became agents, too. During the years of operation, the elevator had a warehouse in it, where coal was stored and sold to the businessman and farmers around the country. The coal was transported to these elevators by train at this time, which was brought in from Drumheller. Sometime between 1913-1916, the Independent Elevator Company was built between the Alberta Wheat Pool and the Alberta Grain Company. The first agent at this time was William Fullard (Mrs. McKay’s Brother). He resigned February 1916 and went back to the army, where he passed on. George Robinson took over as agent and ran the Company in 1920, which was the Terminal Grain Company at that time which was then sold to the Brooks Grain Company. After this time there are no records from 1922 to 1927 as Tom Johnson closed the books. Archie Wallace also was an agent at this company then. In 1927, Jack MacKay became the agent. Jack bought for the Pocock Grain Company for a while and later purchased the Midland Pacific Grain Company. Jack Mackay passed away in 1940. This company, after Jack’s passing, was taken over by Jim Blades and later Tom Johnson, who was the last agent when the elevator was closed and dismantled in 1950. More about this history coming up in the next column as not much is taking place in our little village over the summer months, so hopefully everyone doesn’t mind reading about our history. Have a fantastic week, everyone. If you’re on holidays or going soon, hopefully you all have great weather and get out and enjoy yourselves. Have fun.

Gymkhana excitement was there despite fewer participants Les & Rosemary Stulberg BYEMOOR/ENDIANG NEWS Endiang was a busy berg on Canada Day with the 12th annual Wade Buchwitz Memorial Gymkhana taking place at the Endiang Riding and Roping outdoor arena. The area was packed with contestants, spectators, horses, horse trailers and motorhomes. There were 90 entries in the gymkhana this year, down a bit from other years, but entries were affected with Canada Day falling mid-week this year. The high point winners included: Tiny mite — Wyatt Elder, Peewee — Reid Heilman, Junior — Madelyn Schauer and Senior — (tie) Quinton Van Straten and Adam Jones. Top Hand award went to Caleb Fawcett. The Hanna Pro Rodeo Queen was on hand to make some of the presentations. The day concluded with a spectacular set of fireworks set off at dark. Terry (James) Gallant, along with Patsy (Smith) Burton of Rimbey, traveled to Mayerthorpe for a surprise 70th birthday visit with Betty (Walker) Meier. The girls were all former classmates at Endiang, a few years ago now. It was a good time of laughs and reminiscing. Congratulations to Albert and Jean Mappin and Ron and Marguerite Brown on their joint 50th wedding anniversary celebration held in Byemoor on Saturday evening. Albert and Marguerite are brother and sister. A large gathering of family, friends and neighbours enjoyed a roast beef supper followed by an open house and dance — the dance music supplied by “Country Friends” of Hanna. We wish both couples many more happy years together. Further to the news last week of the Endiang –Byemoor ladies trip to Penticton, B.C. for the Elvis Festival, some of the
group also managed a visit with another of their former classmates, Sandy (James) Fehr who also lives in the Okanagan Valley. They were also happy to visit one day with another classmate, Dolly (Ackerman) Argyle of Victoria who was in the area with her husband for a classic car show. Robert and Sheila Buchwitz, Kirk and Twila Buchwitz and family, Lane and Bobbi Buchwitz and family and Jesse and Brittiany Hebert and family attended the Spence family reunion at Dorothy, Alberta on the weekend. Sheila’s mother Rita McDonald was a Spence. The families all camped at Dorothy for the weekend. Congratulations to Garry and Shirley Keibel of Stettler on celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on the weekend at Haunted Lake Golf Course and Campground near Alix. Garry was raised at Endiang and Shirley (nee Harvey) was from Scapa. Jack and Yvette Hayden are home from spending a few weeks in the North West Territories. They attended the graduation of daughter Teala Gonzalez at Yellowknife. They also moved Teala to Edmonton where she has summer employment before enrolling in university this fall. Ken Schultz will be the guest of honour at an open house to celebrate his 80th birthday at the Endiang Hall on July 25. Everyone is welcome to join Ken in marking this milestone birthday — the social goes from 1 to 3 p.m. Mark and Julie Jones enjoyed a fishing and camping trip to Pierce Lake, Sask. recently. Ryder, Bronc and Colter Buchwitz are spending a week with their grandmother Sandi Hodgson in Melfort, Sask. Thought for the day — “One of the most profoundly human things you can do is to talk to someone, instead of about them.”

Preparations are heating up for the book Patty Steen RUMSEY RECORD Well, as we continue to pray for rain, I hope you had a wonderful July long weekend whether it fell on the weekend before July 1 or the weekend after. The heat has certainly been something. The historical society has started the next stage of preparations to complete the new edition of the Rumsey History book. Dariel McNaughton let me know that for all those folks who missed the June 30 deadline for submission of their story, they don’t want to leave you out, so please submit it as quickly as possible. If you just don’t know what to write or how to put it all together, contact one of the historical society members and they will gladly help you. It is amazing how quickly it can all come together when you just sit with someone and talk about your family and events that happened in the past 30 years. On July 8, we are starting to proofread stories and we will be making a list of completed stories (just like Santa) so if you are not on the list, please expect a phone call from one of our committee members in the hopes we can entice you to writing one. If anyone is interested in proofreading, please contact Dariel at 403-368-2120. Each story has to have been proofread three times before it can be placed in the book. Dariel also let me know that Olive Thompson, wife of Jim Thompson, of Red Deer, passed away May 28, 2015 at the age of 94 years. Olive was a sister to the late Ann McNaughton. The Rumsey Sports Days are fast approaching. They are scheduled to start July 17 and
run to Sunday, July 19, 2015. There are lots of teams coming and the diamonds and ag grounds are looking good for the weekend. Because of the dry conditions, I will assume that campfires will be discouraged (unless we get two or three inches of rain from now till then) but there is lots of camping spaces available, so bring in your trailers and settle in for a great weekend of ball and fun. The concession will be worked by the grad class of 2016, so don’t forget to support them. The Hanna Midget Provincial ball team held their own tournament this past weekend. We have four of our local boys on the team, Garrett and Brett Holowath, Evan Hampton and Tyler Ferguson. They won a game and lost a game over the weekend and are now headed for Okotoks next weekend. They will play one more tournament, then head off to provincial finals on the last weekend of July. Good luck to all of the ball players in our area who are competing on different teams. Here is my joke for the week, I hope you get a chuckle; Little Johnny’s mother was trying hard to get the catsup to come out of the bottle. During her struggle, the phone rang so she asked four-year old Johnny to answer the phone. Little Johnny ran out into the living room and answered the phone. “Mommy, It’s the minister,” he said to his mother. From the kitchen Johnny’s mom said, “Tell him I’ll call him back.” Little Johnny spoke into the phone saying, “Mommy can’t come to the phone to talk to you right now. She’s hitting the bottle.” Have a great week.

Lots of different birds spotted Rose Koenraadt & Dorothy Anderson HALKIRK HERALD Ten members from the Edmonton chapter of the Audubon Society were at Noel and Shirley McBride’s place last Saturday to do some bird watching. One of the society members is a family friend who organized the day trip. They enjoyed a picnic lunch and a walk through the countryside, spotting 44 different kinds of birds. McGuire Kent is the new summer student at the village. He will be assisting with the garbage pick up, cutting grass on the village properties, watering the flowers and generally helping to keep the community clean and green. The summer student’s wages are paid in part with the assistance of the Halkirk Elks. Congratulations to our young ball players
who were in provincial playoffs this weekend. Devon Johnson and Morgyn Jordel played in Calgary and were successful in bringing home a silver medal. Tiana Gamroth and Sydney Jordal, with mom Lisa as part of the coaching team, were in Leduc and brought home a bronze medal. Jacey Gamroth and Geri Slemp were also in Leduc but were unable to make the medal round. The Gamroths, the Chicks, Slemps, JD Johnson and Kent Johnson families and the Jamiesons were among the parents and grandparents that cheered on the players. We give a cheer to Layne MacGilivray and his team who are carrying the ATB canvas in the chuckwagon races at the Calgary stampede this week. Loreena and the kids are part of that team.

Q: My father owns all the shares of a corporation
that is carrying on a business in Stettler. He would like to retire and I would like to buy the shares of the company. How can we make this work? A: This is a common situation that we see with family owned and operated corporations. The most common solution that we recommend is referred to as an estate freeze. Using this method, the father essentially freezes the value of the company at a certain period of time using new preferred shares, this equity would then be paid out to him as dividends over a period of time as he redeems his new shares. The child would then purchase new common shares of the company at a nominal cost. The end result of this freeze is that the father will receive a continual income stream until he has redeemed all his preferred shares, the child will buy the shares of the company at a nominal cost and will be entitled to the future profits of the company. The company will continue to operate as it always has.

????? Mortgage advice from
Tana Nixon, AMP Sky Financial Corporation
Q: I heard that recently there were changes at the banks when purchasing a home with 5% downpayment. What happened, and can you still do this? A: Yes, there was a change made, effective June 1, 2015. Don’t worry, purchasing an owner occupied property with 5% down is still allowed. The change was that the mortgage default insurance premiums that are included in your mortgage were increased. This affects just those borrowing between 90.01% - 95% of the purchase price, so between 5 and 10% downpayment. On average, this increase in premium changes the mortgage payment by roughly $5 per month only. nixon.t@mortgagecentre.com

Why does it take so long for my prescription to be filled?
Pharmacists are the last health care professional to assess your medication regimen, and it is our duty to ensure the medication is indicated, safe, appropriate and effective for your specific scenario. Each patient is different, even with the same medical condition, and care needs to be taken with each fill. Consider the following scenario: a patient drops off a prescription for an antibiotic but is in a hurry and leaves the script on the counter. The staff grabs the prescription, begins to fill it, but realizes the patient has an allergy to the antibiotic written. We either have to contact the physician (who is now with another patient), or we change the antibiotic ourselves, but the patient has left, and we aren’t able to assess what we’re trying to treat. Once they return there is an issue with their drug insurance, and we have to call the plan. The insurance company is getting the same phone call from multiple other pharmacies. We finally get through, are able to fill the prescription, and now we’ll take the time to counsel on the product, ensuring the patient is aware of the side effects and how to take the product. This scenario happens daily and along with numerous phone calls and questions the pharmacy team is answering prescriptions start to stack up. The pharmacy team works extremely hard every day to accomplish not only filling prescriptions, but the other tasks that must be done in a pharmacy. We appreciate the business and will continue to work hard to complete your prescription as soon as possible; which isn’t always so soon!

Q: Are some dogs more prone to heat stroke? A: Heat stroke can occur in both cats and dogs and is defined as extreme hyperthermia (body temp of 41 - 43 .C) which leads to tissue damage. Complications of heat stroke include damage to kidney, liver, heart and intestines, as well as swelling of the brain. Dogs that are at higher risk include overweight or older animals, and dogs with respiratory or heart disease. Dog breeds with narrow airways like Chinese Pugs, Pekingese, Bulldogs and other smaller breed dogs are also at increased risk. Dogs and cats can not sweat and therefore control their body tempurature primarily by panting, drooling and by dilating blood vessels. This allows heat to be lost by evaporation and radiation. High humidity interferes with these normal processes. Body temperature of 43.5 degrees C for just a few minutes can cause death. If your pet is outdoors, provide adequate shade and water and consider bringing them inside during extreme heat and high humidity. Do not exercise them during extreme heat. Never leave them in a car or confined space with poor circulation. Ways to keep cool include using fans, and laying them on cool surfaces like cement, tile or stainless steel. This promotes heat loss through radiation. You can also place cool, wet towels against the groin area and under the front legs. As with other potentially life threatening disorders, prevention of heat stroke is often more rewarding than treatment.

Reasons to max out your TFSA contribution room
Q:
What’s all the hype about TFSAs and what’s the benefit to me working as a self employed incorporated contract oilfield operator?
A:
Everyone needs to have a rainy day saving account, and one growing tax free makes perfect sense. Many contract operators who are incorporated pay themselves by way of dividends, don’t earn any RRSP contribution room, so TFSAs make sense for them to build savings. Plus anyone who has not started a TFSA yet could now deposit $41,000 to catch up all of their available unused contribution room, into a similar range of investment options as their RRSPs.

U14 Smash cap off season with bronze finish
Contributed photo
The Stettler U14 Smash played well in Calgary at provincials this past weekend, bringing home a bronze and bragging rights.
Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER The U14 girls fastball team, the Stettler Smash, headed to Calgary this past weekend, July 3-5, to end their season at provincials in an 11-team battle. The girls first crossed bats with Delburne, a team that has one of the strongest pitchers in the league, according to coach Sarah McCrindle. Stettler kept its defense tight and managed to cross home plate nine times before the game was done, edging out Delburne by a single run, a finish of 9-8. “Beating Delburne was a great momentum builder, since that was the first time the girls had beat them all season,” McCrindle said. “The girls never looked back.” The team went on to face Edmonton, Camrose and Airdrie in the round-robin, and keeping their heads and riding on the crest of success from Delburne, managed to win all three. The Smash stumbled in its game against Calgary in semi-finals, a team that was “very
strong, (and) aggressive,” according to McCrindle. “The girls held their own offensively with fantastic hitting,” she said, with the Smash winning by two runs until the bottom of the fourth inning. “The Calgary team proved to be too strong, coming back to win the game.” While the loss to Calgary knocked the Smash out of gold and silver contention, they focused on the medal they could win, the bronze. To take home that honour and bragging rights, they had to face Airdrie again, a team they beat during roundrobin play. Brushing off the loss to Calgary, the girls regrouped and batted strong, keeping Airdrie off base and taking the second win, the thirdplace finish, to cap off a “very successful season,” according to McCrindle. “They proved that hard work, determination, and awesome team chemistry are a few of the keys to success,” McCrindle said. “Way to go girls. I’m so proud of all of you.”
Stettler Bantam AA Sliders go loss-less in round three Sliders in good shape for the finals scheduled for later this month Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER The Stettler Bantam AA Sliders hosted round three provincials at West Stettler Park over the weekend of July 4-5, emerging victorious and unbeaten through the two days of play. Teams from Acme, Calgary, Sylvan Lake and Fort McLeod travelled to the park to play, with Stettler first coming up to bat against Sylvan Lake. “We played really well,” team manager Annett Lee said. “Our pitching was solid, our defense stronger. Our bats were still a little quiet, and we have to work on that.”
In the first game, the Sliders pulled a first-ever, sending the Sylvan Lake team to defeat in just five innings, saving their opponents from further embarrassment, before the full seven innings were played. “That was a first for us,” Lee said. The second game for the Sliders pitched them against Fort McLeod, and it was no walk in the park, according to Lee. “It was a close game,” she said. “There was a lot of back-and-forth, but we managed to build a lead and keep it.” Those wins pitted the Sliders against the team from Calgary, and it
didn’t get off to a good start, with the Sliders falling behind the bigcity team. “We came from behind,” Lee said, adding that the team tightened its defense and slowly whittled away at Calgary’s lead, eventually creeping ahead of the team to win and emerge with no losses. The Sliders’ next game is in Stettler on Thursday, July 9, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at West Stettler Park. Next weekend, the team travels to Sylvan Lake for the second half of the round three provincials, which will set them up for the finals later this month.

Tekla’s memory kept alive in sport she loved Next year marks end of Camp Tekla Stacey Lavallie INDEPENDENT REPORTER For the last 19 years since 16-yearold Tekla Anderson was killed in a car crash on her way to an early basketball practice, the gymnasiums at the Stettler schools complex has been loud with the voices of young basketball fans, squeaky sneakers and commanding teachers. “Oh my gosh, she’d be thrilled (with the long-running camp),” Tekla’s grandmother, Dorothy Anderson, said. “She loved basketball and basketball camps. She was very competitive.” The camp, which teaches kids and teens basketball skills in a “fun camp,” will celebrate its final year next year with the twentieth iteration of Camp Tekla. While a basketball skills camp is being designed to replace Camp Tekla, the family decided years ago that 20 would be the magic number. Using Tekla’s trust fund, the family has helped fund the camp, keeping costs for Stettler’s basketball athletes down. The money was measured out
with the 20 years in mind, and this year was the final year the trust fund will be able to help the camp, Anderson noted. Tekla’s younger brother, as well as the rest of the family, have helped out as volunteers at the camp, and that comes to and end with next year’s camp as well. “We thought 20 years would be good,” Anderson said. The basketball camp is popular, though, and the teacher that organized Camp Tekla, Kim Poapst, and others are in the process of designing a new basketball camp to replace Camp Tekla two years from now. This year, Poapst and trainers Leighann Doan Reimer, Chris Matts and Chris McElroy, taught kids from the youngest age to their elder teens. Poapst trains the youngest, Anderson said, working on the very basic basketball skills of dribbling, passing and throwing. Joey and Kaitlyn Poapst also help out as assistant coaches. “It’s a fun camp,” Anderson said. “It’s designed to teach you how to play,
but also to play while having fun. It’s not a rough and tough training camp.” She said she hopes that the next generation of basketball camp will continue with the fun camp tradition, which will honour Tekla in its own way, even without her name on the camp. This year’s camp saw about 175 kids take part, which is about the max number of kids that the camp can accommodate. “We tried one year with 190, but it was just too many,” Anderson said. “We didn’t have enough gym space.” The Andersons stay involved by providing snacks for the campers, as well as giving out hugs – and receiving them too – as kids realize they’re Tekla’s family. Plans are already underway to make next year’s final Camp Tekla super special, with former campers being invited back to take part. For current youth, the registration caps at 175, so they should get their registration in as soon as they can once it opens, Anderson said. “It will fill up quickly,” she predicted.

Bucs’ halfway reflection Submitted The Central Alberta Buccaneers are halfway through their 2015 season and are sitting in third place in the AFL with a 3-1 record. After a convincing 31-0 shutout against the 2014 champion Calgary Wolfpack, the Bucs slipped week two against the Calgary Gators with a 50-6 loss. While the Bucs made strong plays and had strong drives, it was penalties and mental errors that cost them the game (at a wide margin). “Good teams capitalize on any opportunity you
give them. We just need to maintain mental toughness and clean up small mistakes,” said team captain Mark Fay. The Bucs rebounded and earned road-trip victories against the Grande Prairie Drillers and Edmonton Stallions, 37-16 and 20-14 respectively. After fielding a recordsetting defense in 2013 and 2014, the Buccaneer defense continues to shut down the opposition. Employing a system of unorthodox blitzing, the pirate D takes away opposing offenses’ time and space. Andrew Younis, former

Ontario CIS footballer, described the Buc defense as “one of the most dynamic and dominant defensive philosophies [he] has seen around in his career.” To become a powerhouse, rather than just an average team, the Buccaneers need to demonstrate strong play without suffering from errors. Linebacker Dakota Harstaad says that the team needs to “stay focused on the task at hand. We can’t afford to give up big plays here and there. We have yet to show what we can really do.” Looking forward In order to make playoffs and get closer to their goal of a 2015 championship, the Bucs need to “show up to every practice ready to work and get better” said receiver Brett Lapointe.
“Head coach Devon Hand has created a new culture in the team that puts the onus back onto players. We have the talent to go deep into playoffs - will we buckle down and work for the championship rings? That is on us.” The Bucs next game is against the Lloydminster Vandals, July 11th. The game starts at 6 p.m. at Lacombe’s MEGlobal Athletic Park. After the Vandals, the Bucs face steep competition in the Fort McMurray Monarchs on July 25 (who are currently #2 in the AFL) and the St. Albert Stars on August 8. Both games are home games.

MILNE Mrs. Margaret Anne Milne (Pittard) born October 10, 1945 in Calgary, Alberta passed away unexpectedly June 27, 2015 at the age of 69 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. Marg, as she was known to most, was survived by her loving husband of 48 years Jim, her children Trish (Alex) Schwarzenberger, Sue (Paul) Isted; grandchildren Brittany, Dakota and Daniel Schwarzenberger, Dylan Flynn and Ethan Isted; by her brother Ted (Barbara) Pittard as well as many relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, father Daniel Pittard, mother Elizabeth Clute and step-father Roger Clute; her mother-in-law Myrtle Milne and father-in-law James Milne; sister-in-law Viola Sundberg and brother-in-law Andrew Milne. Marg grew up in Edmonton and married the love of her life on July 30, 1966 and they spent 48 treasured years together. In 1975 they moved to Stettler and with exception of a brief return to Edmonton and a recent move to Red Deer, Stettler was always home. The most important thing in her life was her family. They always came first and her pride and joy were her grandchildren who will always treasure “Grandmas Cookies.” Marg was a kind and gentle lady who would often be seen volunteering and giving back to the communities in which she lived through her involvement in organizations such as the Beta Sigma Phi, Stettler Lioness Club and more recently the Stettler Food Bank. Marg loved to travel and always treasured the time spent with friends, winters in Yuma but come April couldn’t wait to return home to spend time with her family. Funeral Services were held in the Heartland Chapel of Stettler Funeral Home on Friday July 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Jack Schulze officiating. Mr. Don Melin gave a loving tribute of Marg. Evelyn Shursen presented her gift of music with “Make Me A Channel of Your Peace” accompanied by Melanie Weekes. Margaret will be laid to rest at Alto Rest Cemetery in Red Deer. Memorial donations in Marg’s memory may be made to STARS Air Ambulance or a charity of your choice.

WHEN YOU PAY WHAT WE PAY
With temperatures from plus 30 to only 2 above (over night Sunday) is it any wonder we don’t know what season we’re in?
Gadsby/ Westwoods
PAULETTE HEER 403-574-2442
Stan and Gloria Diegel along with Richelle and Greg Skocdopole and family motored to B.C. taking in parks, museums and points of interest along the way. Their stay in Osoyoos was short with temperatures into the 40s. They then headed down into Spokane, where temperatures, still above normal but more livable. They enjoyed the Expo Park in Spokane, a mansion in Kalispell, to name a few; a very enjoyable eight-day vacation for all. There are new planters in the Gadsby Park. Renovations and improvements to the park are ongoing as is the installation of the sewer system. Hazel and Howard Holdal were back to Saskatchewan for a week of fishing, camping and visiting. Joyce Hansel baked a cake, helped Judy Musgrove celebrate her birthday. Happy birthday, Judy! Donna McKay, along with the Heartland Belles (red hat ladies) enjoyed a fun day at the Stettler Elevator for tea and laughter. There will be an interment service for the late Betty (Elliot) Hankins at the Botha Woodland Cemetery on August 3, 2 p.m.; lunch to follow at the Botha Community Hall.
