Embrace our roots at Grande Prairie Stompede TERRY FARRELL Sun Media For five days in May, Grande Prairie revisits its roots, as the Stompede comes to town, May 23-27. This year marks the 35th running of the Grande Prairie Stompede and Stompede president Terri Sudnik says it’s all about paying homage to our heritage. “As always, we are working on enhancing and promoting the preservation of Canadian western heritage,” she said. The bulk of the activities happen at Evergreen Park, with the pro rodeo, the chuckwagon races and the everpopular midway. The big difference in regards to the regular events this year is that Wednesday and Thursday’s rodeo will be evening events. In years past the rodeo ran strictly in the afternoons, leaving the evenings for the chuckwagon races. This year the first two rodeo performances will run at approximately 9 p.m., after the chucks complete their shows. “Typically the rodeo would start at 1 p.m. all five days,” Sudnik said. “We are cutting out all the novice (events) for Wednesday and Thursday, so the rodeo will be quick and easy to sit through. “The reason that we are doing that this year is to shake it up a little bit and to change it for our sponsors. As well, Grande Prairie seems to be a town that works during the day, so it’s hard for (fans) to get out and enjoy the rodeo when it’s in the day. So we wanted to see if they could enjoy that in the evening.” The ticket prices for Wednesday and Thursday will include admission into both the rodeo and the chuck-

not: The weekend performances, as well as Friday’s, will be 1 p.m. starts, and there will also be a slack performance Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. “We have also added a Thursday night beer gardens out at Evergreen Park and we will have Curtis Grambo as a headliner,” said Sudnik. “Third Degree Burnz will be playing Thursday, Friday and Saturday.” Deric Ruttan (Friday) and Dallas Smith (Saturday) will join Third Degree Burnz on the weekend. The midway officially opens on Friday at 2 p.m. Wristbands, which allow access to all rides, sell for $37 ($35 on Sunday). There’s also the Madness at Midnight feature, Friday from 7 p.m. to

2012 Stompede president Terri Sudnik midnight, with wristbands selling for $30 apiece. Single tickets are available
at $1 apiece and all rides take between two and seven tickets. “We push them (midway operators) a little bit to get open on Thursday, so we just ask people to watch, and if they are open Thursday, they are welcome to ride the rides,” said Sudnik. Sudnik said that there is always room for additions to the Stompede family for anyone out here who wants to get involved with one of the largest annual events in Grande Prairie. “We are encouraging people to not only come out to the Stompede but also to join the Stompede family,” she said. “We are encouraging people to step up to the plate and get involved, whether they want
to be involved with memberships, VIPs, actual rodeo, the midway. We have a special information booth going up there this year because we really want the Stompede to be able to give back to the community.” Anyone interested in becoming involved with the Stompede as a volunteer can visit the website at www. gpstompede.com or contact Sudnik directly at 780-5188711. “This year we will be out not only enjoying the Stompede and working with the athletes and chuckwagon drivers, but also looking to grow our Stompede family,” Sudnik said. terry.farrell@sunmedia.ca

Every rodeo needs a queen
TERRY FARRELL Sun Media One of the most exciting competitions at the Grande Prairie Stompede every year is that of the Miss Grande Prairie Stompede. This year there are two
Shayna (right) is the daughter of Alberta Minnick Chard and Gary Chard and has grown up on the farm near Dawson Creek. She has been involved with community and sports, Beef 4-H, Gymkhana Club, the Peace Country Barrel Racing Association and High School Rodeo. Shayna is looking forward to continuing her post secondary education in Nursing. Rodeo and the western lifestyle have captured her heart and imagination. Running for Miss Grande Prairie Stompede is a way for Shayna to share and give back to the sport she loves so much.
hopefuls vying for the crown: Amy Foisy of Wildwood and Shayna Minnick of Dawson Creek. One of them will take over the duties and responsibilities from Sarah Michel, the 2011 Stompede queen. There are a few prerequi-
sites that must be met in order to qualify for the pageant. First and foremost, the individual has to be able to ride a horse, but there is a lot more to the contest than that. Contestants will be judged
on horsemanship, public speaking, modelling, a personal interview, they have a written test and they are also judged on their photogenics. O n c e a w i n n e r i s p ro claimed, the real work begins. Miss Grande Prairie Stompede will spend the summer
representing Grande Prairie at rodeos throughout western Canada, an ambassador to the Swan City. Her duties will continue throughout the year, and will ultimately finish at the 2013 Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, where she will
challenge all other Canadian Rodeo queens for the title of Miss Rodeo Canada 2014, making this commitment one of nearly 18 months, with the possibility of it extending another full year afterwards. Now, meet this year’s contestants:
Amy (right) is the 22 year old daughter if Wyatt and Rhonda hailing from Wildwood AB. She is currently pursuing a post secondary education in Law. In her spare time she enjoys riding, barrel racing and volunteering for several organizations. She is excited with at the possibility to represent the Grande Prairie Stompede and Peace Country as an ambassador for Grande Prairie, the Stompede and the sport of rodeo.

Sarah Michel bids farewell I look back on my year and as I watch the dust beginning to settle, I smile at the collection of memories and experiences I have gained over the long miles. I have met some of the most extraordinary people, seen some amazing shows, and enjoyed every single one of them. My year may be headed for the books, but before the pages close on my reign, I have so many people to thank. From the bottom of my heart, thanks to all of my sponsors! Without them, the dust raised behind me to and from my appearances would not have been possible. Because of our local business people, I have been able to attend rodeos all over the west, including our own Grande Prairie Stompede, the Mighty Fraser Pro Rodeo, the extravagant Calgary Stampede, four days in the wild at the Teepee Creek Stampede and so much more.
As Miss Grande Prairie Stompede, I was received and treated like true royalty, experiences a girl can never forget. The support and generosity of this community is a true statement of the hard work and dedication that has

built, maintained and helped it grow. Being an ambassador for such a community brings me great pride. Thank you sincerely to my committee for making another girl’s dream come true. So much work and networking goes into the details that make the final picture that much more fine. I know our road has yet to end, as we journey for the title of Miss Rodeo Canada 2013, but without you, I would not walk as confidently as I have been able to. Through the upcoming months I will travel again in preparation for the Canadian Finals Rodeo with high hopes of representing the Grande Prairie Stompede and area as Miss Rodeo Canada.

Fraser ready to defend his crown TERRY FARRELL Sun Media Rick Fraser has to turn in the keys to his 2011 truck this week, the one to which he won a one-year lease, with his Dash for Cash victory at last year’s Grande Prairie Stompede. That’s OK with him. He plans on winning another one this year. “All good things must come to an end. This year we have General Motors on board and we are all looking forward to that,” said Fraser. The 2012 Dash For Cash winner will be handed the keys to a 2012 GMC Sierra. “It’s always nice to go to Grande Prairie and win that. I have been fortunate enough to win there three times (1983, 2002, 2011) and four would be a real satisfying string.” There has never been a better year to come out on top of the Grande Prairie Stompede Dash For Cash. The monetary value put forth by the Grande Prairie Chuckwagon Heritage Foundation this year is a whopping $75,000 for the WPCA, which includes $40,000 for Heat 9 alone, with $20,000 going to the winner. Twenty grand and a new Sierra would be a nice start to the 2012 season. “You got that right,” said Fraser. All the barns on the World Professional Chuckwagon Association tour have their own niches. Some teams run well early, some gain momentum as the season goes along. With the Stompede being the first stop of the WPCA season, the teams that are quickest to find their form are the ones generally contending for a championship on Sunday. With three titles to his name already, Fraser falls into that category and must be looked upon as one of the pre-event favourites. “It all comes down to how you prepare your horses,” said Fraser. “Other guys, they start a bit slower but by the end of the year they are extremely... competitive. But you have to be very careful that you don’t over-train when you prepare for it, because if you overtrain, that can be just as bad as if you are under-training.
IVAN DANIELEWICZ/DAILY HERALD-TRIBUNE
Rick Fraser thunders out of the starting area of the World Professional Chuckwagon Association event during last year’s Stompede. Fraser won his third Stompede crown in 2011. It’s quite a learning curve to make sure that you do it the right way.” Although a perennial favourite at the Stompede, Fraser will have to learn quickly in order to repeat this year. He is coming to the Stompede with 12 new horses in his stable of 20. He will be relying heavily on the eight veteran horses. “Everybody is the same in that regard. You go with the best ones you have and if you have a new one that looks like it can crack the lineup, it definitely will be in there,” said
Fraser of his strategy going into the inaugural week of the 2012 campaign. “We will know a little more – we are going to start running them today (Sunday, May 13) and tomorrow, first time. Up to now we have just been getting them used to being a chuckwagon horse. Now it’s time to run them and see what they have.” And that’s not the only change. His outriding duo of Chanse Vigen and Quaid Tournier, which ran behind him to victory last season, is no longer.
Vigen is on the shelf for the beginning of the season with a shoulder injury and Tournier will be running for his father, Luke, in Fraser’s heat this year. “I don’t understand where that comes from,” said Fraser of Tournier, tongue firmly planted in cheek. “I guess he’d better ride for his dad before anybody else. Quaid has ridden for me for years, but first call is his dad, and that goes without question. I always rode for my dad first, before anybody else. “Chanse had a mishap
here not too long ago but I am pretty confident he will be back some time this year. So I have Dustin Gorst and Reo King lined up to give me a hand at this first show.” King finished fourth overall in WPCA outrider standings last year. This will be Gorst’s rookie season in the WPCA, but his resume is already bulging with awards. He is a three-time Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association champion outrider (2006, 2008 and 2010) and was the aggregate cham-
pion at the 2005 and 2010 Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby. And does Fraser think he will have the adjustments down pat and be successful at Stompede again this year, with so many new components to his team? “You know, if you ask me about two weeks from now I will be able to give you a better answer,” he deadpanned. terry.farrell@sunmedia.ca Twitter: @dhtterry

Foundation cash infusion makes these the richest chucks yet TERRY FARRELL Sun Media The Grande Prairie Chuckwagon Heritage Foundation has ensured that this year’s chuckwagon races are the richest ever at the Grande Prairie Stompede, by committing a total of $100,000 Sunday’s Dash for Cash races. “The WPCA (World Professional Chuckwagon Association) will get $75,000... and then for the WCA (Western Chuckwagon Association), we are giving them $25,000,” said Grande Prairie Chuckwagon Heritage Foundation President Justin Tidd. The big race of the day, Heat 9 of the WPCA event, sponsored by Happy Trails RV, will be worth $40,000, with the winner’s share being $20,000. Second place will get $10,000; third receives $6,000 and fourth takes home $4,000. Heat 8 is worth a total of $8,000; Heat 7 has a $6,000 purse; Heat 6 is $5,000, Heat 5 offers $4,000 in prize money
QMI AgEncY FILE phoTo
Both the WPCA and WCA winners will receive one-year leases on GMC Sierras. and drivers in Heats 1-4 will be racing for their share of $3,000 purses in each race.
The purse breakdown per heat is 50% to the winner, 25% for second, 15% for third and
10% for fourth. The WCA will feature a $15,000 total purse in the
Peter Lane Concrete-sponsored Heat 5 Dash for Cash . Heat 4 has $3,000 up for
grabs. Heats 2 and 3 are worth $2,500 apiece and Heat 1 is a $2,000 heat. “We are also giving both the WPCA and the WCA $4,000 for the pick-up – they are both getting a pick-up (on a one-year lease),” said Tidd. “And the winner of the WPCA Dash (Heat 9) will also get a toy hauler from Happy Trails.” The cash infusion from the GPCHF gives the Grande Prairie Stompede the third-largest purse in all of chuckwagon racing and second-largest, surpassed only by the Ponoka Stampede, on the WPCA circuit. The largest purse in chuckwagon racing belongs to the independently run Rangeland Derby at the Calgary Stampede. “It goes Calgary, Ponoka, then Grande Prairie,” said Tidd. “We are shooting to be number one (on the WPCA tour). We are not happy at number two.” terry.farrell@sunmedia.ca

Dusty LaValley of Bezanson is always the best bet for a local winner at the Grande Prairie Stompede rodeo. The defending Canadian bareback champion will be riding this year, looking to recapture the Stompede crown he won two years ago.
LaValley a perennial local favourite at rodeo IVAN DANIeLeWICZ Sun Media It’s not how you start; it’s how you finish. That’s the motto local bareback rider Dusty LaValley is taking into the 2012 rodeo season. So far the back-to-back Canadian Finals Rodeo champion sits eighth in Canada with $450 in winnings and in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (U.S. circuit), he’s currently ranked 27th overall based on his $8,575 in earnings. “It’s a bit of a slow start,” LaValley said. “But now that I’m starting to hit more rodeos that actually count towards
the standings, I should be starting to jump up there a little bit.” While his earnings seem low, they don’t account for all of his winnings so far this year. At the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo, which ran from Feb. 25 to March 17, LaValley finished with $8,700 in earnings, but it doesn’t count in the American standings. The slow start to the season hasn’t stopped LaValley from setting his sights on the goal of defending his CFR championship and getting back to the National Finals Rodeo held in Las Vegas in December. “It would definitely be nice to get back to Vegas,” LaV-
alley said. “Without sounding cocky, I think I can be in contention for a world title if things go right. “For me, I can either hit a few rodeos a year or a hundred rodeos a year and if it’s going to go good, it’s gonna and if it’s not, it’s not. That’s the way it seems to go. “If you’re going to get on a hot streak, it’s going to happen. If it’s not going to happen, you can go to as many rodeos as you want and it’s still not going to happen.” Part of LaValley’s confidence this year stems from his performance last season. With his wedding last summer, LaValley had a lighter season that still saw him top the CFR
leaderboard with over $27,000 in earnings and he added over another $33,500 from the CFR championship. From the rodeos he competed at in the States last season, he added another $37,000 and finished 27th overall in the standings. LaValley added the benefit of doing so well on a lighter year is that he feels recharged and healthy heading into this rodeo season. “It makes you... you get tired of being on the road, or at least I do,” he said. “Over the past couple of years I haven’t been going (as hard) and I’m not quite as sick of the road as I could be. It helps that way. It makes it so you’re a little more
excited to get after it and go to more rodeos. “Everybody is different, some guys want to be at a rodeo every day and I’m not that way. Usually I like to have a happy balance now that I have a wife and a kid, so that stuff is all pretty important to me too.” While LaValley will travel all over Canada and the United States this season, he said the Grande Prairie Stompede is one of his top stops on his rodeo calendar. This is because LaValley doesn’t just arrive, compete and move on like many riders. Instead he spends time at the event and with the people. “I really enjoy just hang-
ing out and not being under the gun to hit the road and go anywhere else and just being able to have a beer and have a chat,” he said. “I really, really enjoy it. I don’t have to travel too far to get to it and I see a lot of friends and locals that I haven’t seen in a while. “It’s nice being close to home so I can come home and sleep in my own bed.” LaValley, who won the Stompede bareback buckle in 2010 with a rodeo record score of 88 points, will be riding during Sunday’s portion of the bareback riding competition. ivan.danielewicz@sunmedia.ca Twitter: @DHTIvan
