Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson was one of eight fresh faces to join Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet Monday.
As minister of state for finance, Sorenson takes over the post from fellow Albertan Ted Menzies, who earlier this month announced he would not seek re-election in 2015.
Sorenson joins a cabinet featur-ing four other Alberta MPs, along with Harper. That group includes Michelle Rempel, who is also new to cabinet, and Jason Kenney, Rona Ambrose and Tim Uppal.
Rempel is minister of state for Western economic diversification. Kenney is minister of employment and social development.
Ambrose is minister of health and Uppal is minister of state for multiculturalism.
Sorenson, 54, was first elected in 2000 and was re-elected in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2011.
Currently, he’s the chairman of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
Sorenson has previously chaired the Special Committee on the
Canadian Mission in Afghanistan and the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. He was also vice-chair of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
Prior to being elected, Sorenson owned and operated his family farm near Killam and a small auction company.
Sorenson’s posting marks the first time Central Alberta has been represented in a Harper cabinet.

Summer storms with thunder and lightning, rain and hail knocked down crops and knocked out power last week in the Stettler area.
Some crops east of Stettler were damaged dur-ing a storm last Thursday that swept through the area for about 10 minutes just be-fore 5 p.m.
“It looks like we had 22 claims east of Stettler,” said Brian Tainch, manager on farm inspection for the Ag-riculture Financial Services Corporation regional offi ce. “It wasn’t a huge number, and we haven’t been out to look at the damage.”
Hailstones were from pea to marble size, he said, and the crops in that area are mainly canola and cereal.
Vehicles in low-lying ar-eas stood in a few inches of water and motorists drove through “small ponds.”
Lightning was identifi ed as the cause of a brief power
outage in downtown Stettler on Friday during noon hour.
“It was related to light-ning,” said Allan Gano, ATCO Electric’s east-cen-tral district manager.
Electricity was knocked out just before noon on the west side of Main Street, and extended to 54 Street between 51 Avenue and the railway tracks. Power was restored at 1:15 p.m.
An ATCO employee called to the scene said the cause might have been light-ning, “as someone reported that they saw fi re dancing on the wire,” Gano said.
Wires were struck on the lines in an alley. “We were fortunate that our protections worked the way they were designed and we were able to repair the service prompt-ly,” Gano said. “Throughout the summer months, our staff often works long hours to restore power safely.”

Vacated since the new Bashaw Meadows opened last month, Bashaw Valley Lodge has re-opened to accom-modate Calgary seniors displaced be-cause of severe fl ooding that swamped the southern part of the province.
About 50 seniors from Trinity Place Foundation are scheduled to move into Bashaw Valley Lodge and the new Bashaw Meadows by the end of the month and remain in town for the rest of the summer.
The Bethany Group, which oper-ates the new seniors’ home in Bashaw, responded to the call in co-operation with the residents of Bashaw.
“Our community has always been welcoming and supportive,” Bashaw Mayor Penny Shantz said in a news release from Bethany Group.
“We are already looking at options on how we can help these seniors dur-ing this diffi cult time, and give them a great temporary home.”
Short-term workers from the community are also being recruited. Bethany Group plans to provide staff-ing and caring support for the seniors — including meals and furnishings — until they can move back into their homes.
“We are pleased to have this op-portunity to help other Albertans in need,” Denis Beesley, the president and chief executive offi cer of Betha-
ny Group, said in a news release last week.
“We could think of no better place than Bashaw to assist with this sup-port. (Bashaw is) a community with a long tradition of caring and support.
“I know that the community will welcome them all, even for a short time.”
To help the new residents adjust and to provide as comforting and home-like an experience as possible, entertainment opportunities are also being explored.
Anyone from Bashaw or the sur-rounding communities interested in providing entertainment or volunteer-ing is asked to contact Bethany Group at 780-679-2000.

At 4:45 p.m. last Saturday, Stettler RCMP, Stettler Regional Fire Department and Stettler EMS responded to a 911 call of a motor vehicle collision, 10 miles south of Stettler, on Highway 56.
When invest igators arr ived, the 27-year-old male driver from Edmonton was observed lying on the grass beside the F-150 pickup truck, with two bystanders assisting him.
The passenger, a male in his 20s, remained inside the truck and required Fire Rescue to extract him from the wreckage.
Investigation determined that the truck was being driven northbound, drifted into the east shoulder and
drove a few hundred metres off of the road. The Ford truck then came back across the road and into the west ditch, where it rolled multiple times before resting on the passenger side.
EMS transported the driver to the Stettler hospital and the passenger had to be driven directly to Red Deer Hospital because of more serious injuries.
Alcohol or drugs weren’t believed to be a factor, but excess speed might be determined as a cause.
The rollover remains under police investigation.
At 9:51 a.m. Saturday, Stettler
EMS, S te t t l e r Reg iona l F i re Department and Stettler RCMP responded to a 911 call reporting a three-vehicle collision on the west
side of the Erskine overpass. The investigation determined
that vehicles were stopped at the red light on the bridge and the 39-year-old male driver of a Ford Ranger from Yorkton, Sask., didn’t notice the stoppage.
The Ranger crashed into a Volkswagen Jetta, sending it into the rear of a Toyota Sienna van.
The 74-year-old female driver of the Volkswagen was the lone per-son taken to the Stettler hospital and released a few hours later with minor injuries.
The driver of the Ford Ranger was issued a violation ticket for careless driving, as he reported that he didn’t notice any of the construction signs.
It’s the third collision responded to in that construction zone since renovations were initiated.

PromotingStettlerin the tradition ofCarl Stettler
One of the fundamental planks in Je-sus’ teaching platform was the practice of selflessness. He said, “The last will be first and the first will be last.” (Matthew 20:16)
That concept is expanded in the New Testament epistles. One example of this can be found in 1 Corinthians 10:24, where we read, “Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.”
The concept of being selfless poses quite a challenge however, as it is nearly universally accepted that selfishness is both intrinsic to and strong within the human race.
Philippians 2:21 states that, “Every-one looks out for their own interests ...”
In other words it doesn’t come natu-rally to think of, or to put others first…but apparently it can happen.
Most of us know about Isaac New-ton and his legendary encounter with a falling apple and the subsequent laws of gravity introduced in the 1600’s.
But probably not many know of the role that Edmond Halley played in New-ton’s life (some have suggested that Newton wouldn’t have been known at all without Halley).
Halley challenged Newton to think more carefully through his initial con-clusions. He corrected some of New-ton’s mathematical errors and arrangedgeometrical data to support Newton’s theories.
Halley then applied gentle pressure to the uncertain Newton to publish his work. Halley also edited and supervised the publication of “Mathematical Prin-ciples of Natural Philosophy.”
Halley even paid for the publication, though Newton was much wealthier than Halley, and could have easily paid for the printing himself.
Newton became prominent almost overnight. Halley received very little credit. However he did use what he
learned in the process, along with his studies in astronomy, to predict the or-bit and return of a comet that was later named “Halley’s Comet”, though his no-toriety even for this discovery was large-ly received posthumously.
Historians have called Halley’s ac-tions the most selfless example in the history of science.
Halley remained a devoted scien-tist who didn’t care who received the credit as long as the cause was being ad-vanced.
There are examples of selflessness in Bible history as well. John the Baptist, who could easily have attracted more at-tention and a greater following, said of Jesus, “He must become greater; I must become less.” Barnabus was content to serve in a background manner to intro-duce others to greatness.
And Jesus, always the supreme model and superlative example, exhibited self-lessness in a variety of ways; practically by coming to seek, serve and save, picto-rially by washing His disciple’s feet and powerfully by laying down His life.
So ... selflessness doesn’t come natu-rally, but it can and does happen.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourself” (Philippians 2:3).
Pastor Ross Helgeton is senior pastorat Erskine Evangelical Free Church.
TIME CAPSULE
‘Selflessness doesn’t come naturally, but it does come’
Campaign underway to try to save railway between Donalda, Morrin
By Pedro Antunes and Marie-Christine BernardTroy Media columnists
With the rains now turning to sun and the waters receding, Southern Albertans are left with a post-fl ood nightmare — disrupted lives, homes damaged or de-stroyed, business activity interrupted, and signifi cant losses to private capital, inventories, etc. The fl ood of 2013 will not soon be forgotten.
But while things are steadily getting back to normal in Calgary, other communities continue to struggle. In High River, there is widespread damage to homes — some literally washed away, while many others will need to be torn down. Estimates of the losses are still being compiled, but when all is said and done, they’ll likely be in the billions of dollars.
Ironically, however, these losses will not signifi cant-ly reduce the province’s economic performance this year, and the reconstruction effort will actually add to real GDP growth in 2014.
To understand the consequences of major disasters on the economy, one needs to understand what it is that economists and statisticians measure when calculating GDP. Essentially, our national accounting framework is meant to measure income fl ows over a set period of time and not losses to our stock of capital or wealth. So while the costs of the fl ood are steep, both in terms of dollars and distressed lives, we need to take a step back to weigh the various impacts of the fl ood on income fl ows.
One approach is to look at the net gains or losses on an industry-by-industry basis. What might the impact be on retail sales, oil production, the insurance industry and construction activity? And what are the immediate consequences versus those over the next year or more? Of course, the immediate repercussions are almost all negative. Many businesses were forced to shut down, and some remained without power for over a week in Calgary and much longer in other regions. However, the loss in retail activity will be short-lived. Over 100,000 displaced residents are receiving cash through debit cards ($1,250 per adult and $500 per child) provided by the provincial government to help alleviate their troubles. Most are back at work already and will likely be rushing to replace damaged household furnishings.
With the fl ood arriving just days in advance of the Calgary Stampede, the potential impact on tourism was a major concern. But while a few events were cancelled, the Stampede was still headed for success, even if the attendance numbers are down a bit. The fairgrounds were cleared and cleaned in time and events started as planned – a phenomenal feat considering Stampede staff and volunteers had just days to get things back on track. By the start of the Stampede, downtown hotels were booked solid and tourists were opening wide their wallets and purses — sales of Stampede Must Go On Come Hell or High Water t-shirt were booming!
So while the impact of the fl ooding on retail sales and accommodation and food sectors will likely be negative in June, we expect economic activity to re-bound strongly in July and the ensuing months.
Moreover, the impact on many other industries will be strongly positive in coming months. In addition to the provincial government’s debit card program, the government of Alberta and the federal government have stepped up to help households rebuild their homes. The federal government has already committed $1 billion, a sum that will likely be matched by Alberta. And while the losses to assets aren’t measured in the GDP num-bers, the rebuilding efforts certainly will be, through a boost in construction activity that will peak later this year and into 2014.
Alberta’s private insurers will also help to fi nance the reconstruction. Some estimates suggest that claims could be three to four times what they were during the heavy fl ooding of 2005. This means that an additional $700 million to $1 billion in claims could be paid out in coming months. These sums will add to GDP as resi-dents repair and rebuild their homes and purchase new furniture. (However, the impact is partly negated by the direct losses to GDP incurred by the province’s prop-erty and casualty insurance sector, to the extent that the impact of those losses is felt in the province.)
Overall, the net impact on the economy will be mod-est in 2013, taking about 0.1 percentage points from growth. But as the rebuilding effort ramps up, we ex-pect to see as much as 0.4 percentage points added to growth in 2014. As more facts surface and estimates of losses are solidifi ed, we will likely make revisions to our impact analysis.
But as we’ve seen with past disasters in Canada and elsewhere, the overall impact of this disaster on GDP will undoubtedly be positive.

With plans to set up shop in Alberta, a Chinese business visited Stettler last Wednesday after a tour of Red Deer in the morning.
China Shenghong Group was in the re-gion to scout out a location to build and op-erate a petrochemical plant.
“The group offi cials expressed a specifi c interest in methanol extraction and process-ing,” said Aubrey Brown, executive-direc-tor of Stettler Regional Board of Trade and Community Development, which co-ordi-nated the visit.
“They own two petrochemical plants in China and communicated that they require large quantities of methane.”
Offi cials with the company declined questions from the media, because the vis-it was exploratory. They plan to return in coming months and comment at that time.
“This was a very preliminary visit,” Brown said.
Stettler is one of several locations in Al-berta under study by the group, which plans to complete an assessment and return to the province in coming months, he said.
“Of all the areas in province, it’s great that Stettler was included, and that draws a lot of attention to this region,” Brown said.
Such a venture in the local area would be welcome news to major municipalities.
“This investment in a major gas facility
would certainly give a boost to the econo-my of Stettler and area,” County of Stettler Reeve Wayne Nixon said.
“We learned that the company is a world leader in chemical fi bre technologyand would require methanol as a main material.”
Town offi cials would also welcome this venture to the community.
“Anytime you have people and business-es outside the region or country looking to invest in this area, is all very positive,” said Stettler Mayor Dick Richards.
While in the local area, the delegation toured gas plants such as the Keyera Nevis and Bearspaw gas plants.
Elected offi cials from the County of Stettler and the Town of Stettler hosted a lunch for the delegation, which also made a brief presentation to county council.
Local industry and community leaders played key roles in the tour as Wayne Long of Vortex Services of Stettler accompanied the delegation and answered questions for the entire tour.
This was the second County of Stettler gas plant related inquiry from Chinese in-vestors in 2013, Brown said.
Access Prosperity welcomed the Jovo Group from China in March.
Provincial government offi cials said the doors to foreign investment.
“We are thrilled to welcome execu-tives from Shenghong Group on their fi rst visit to central Alberta,” said International
and Interprovincial Relations MinisterCal Dallas, who attended a dinner with the delegation the night before in Red Deer, with Reeve Nixon and his wife Loreealso present.
The Shenghong Group has petrochemi-cal, textile, energy, real estate, hotel and major industrial enterprises, with annual sales revenues of 5 billion and more than 30,000 people employed.

"To avoid a repetition of yesterday,
I bought you birthday cards for
the next three years."
Even the developed countries willhave trouble feeding themselves
If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, so they say, it will hop right out again. Frogs aren’t stupid. Well, OK, but they’re not THAT stupid.
However, if you put a frog in a pot of cool water, and gradually turn the heat up under it, the frog will not notice what’s happening. It will happily sit there until the water boils, and it dies.
Now, I have never carried out this experiment personal-ly — I prefer my frogs’ legs fried — so I can’t vouch for the truth of it. It’s just a story the environmentalists like to tell.
Besides, I already knew that human beings have trou-ble in detecting slow-moving threats. You can watch us failing to do it every day: we persistently ignore the fact that we are running into trou-ble at a civilizational level, even though the evidence is all around us.
The foundation of every civilization is an adequate food supply: human beings simply cannot live at the density of population that civilization implies without a reliable agriculture. But the supply of good agricultural land is limited, and the num-ber of human beings is not.
You can postpone the problem for a while by in-creasing the yield of the available land: irrigate it, plant higher-yielding crops, fertilize the soil artificially, use pesticides and herbicides to protect the crops as they grow.
But even these techniques have limits, and in many cases we have reached or
exceeded them. So we are running into trouble. Why isn’t anybody taking action?
Governments everywhere are well aware of the prob-lem: we are now 7 billion people, heading for an esti-mated 11 billion by the end of this century, and the food situation is already getting tight. So tight, in fact, that the average price of the ma-
jor food grains has doubled in the past ten years. But ev-erybody finds local reasons to ignore that fact.
The developing countries know that they are under the gun, because the standard predictions of global warm-ing suggest that it is the trop-ics and the sub-tropics where the warming will hit food production first and hardest.
A (still unpublished) study carried out by the World Bank some years ago concluded that India (all of which is in the tropics or sub-tropics) would lose 25 per-cent of its food production when the average global tem-perature is only 2 degrees C higher. China would lose an astounding 38 percent, even though most of it is in the temperate zone. And all that is before their underground water sources are pumped dry. Most governments in the developing countries know the facts, but the short-term political imperative to raise living standards takes precedence over the longer-term imperative to curb the warming.

Q:Q: We own an incorporated oilfi eld companywith 3 partners. We have an unsigned draft partnership agreement on hand and are wondering about the importance of having it signed to protect all the shareholders? A: A: A buy/sell or partnership agreement is document that outlines the pro-cess that takes place should a partner die, get disabled, divorced, go bankrupt, or have any other issue that could impact the business. When in the farm equip-ment business, I had a partner die in a plane crash. Fortunately we had a signed buy/sell funded by life insurance. Plus, the plane was covered so we survived the loss, bought back his wife’s shares, and continued on. So yes, you need to have a legal binding agreement in place and some way to fund it in the event of any issue rearing its ugly head.boysfi n.ca/when-business-partners-need-a-shareholders-agreement-part-2/

Construction in the Town of Stettler at the midpoint of this year has faltered to only one-quarter of the values at the same time last year.
By the end of June, the town issued permits that totalled $3,860,740, well below the figure of $13,628,419. Last year, however, Points West Liv ing suppor t - l iv ing complex was registered at $8,675,760, which is listed under institutional.
“We are pretty close on par to last year at this point, excluding Points West,” said Leann Graham, planning and development officer for the Town of Stettler.
“It’s been busy, so that’s positive.”
After a sluggish year in 2012, housing starts are up.
“Residential is up by $1.1 million,” Graham said.
So fa r , r e s iden t i a l development has reached $1 ,749 ,660 , up f rom
$691,500.“With all the commercial
and industrial development l a s t y e a r , o b v i o u s l y residential development will follow,” Graham said.
Commercial totalled $ 1 , 9 1 2 , 6 0 0 , w i t h renovations to several businesses, down from $2,364,459 last summer.
Industrial has produced no development this year after $1,896,700 in the same period last year.
Growth could be on the rise as already in the first week of July, the town has issued permits for $2.2 million, which includes renovat ions to A&W, expansion of Greidanus Honey Farm, and to Score Projects.

Development in the County of Stettler has picked up the pace at the midpoint of 2013.
“Compared to last year at the same time, we’re a little bit higher,” said Johan van der Bank, the county’s director of planning and development.
For the first six months this year, the county issued development permits that totalled $8,240,000 for 39 permits, both more than the values of $7,900,500 for 39 permits.
“We are down of commercial development and that could be caused by the slow economy,” van der Bank said.
For th i s pe r iod , the coun ty g ran ted th ree commercial permits for $580,000 well below the same point last year with seven permits for $2,036,000.
A major gravel pit was the most significant commercial development, while the balance covered smaller projects, he said.
For residential, development totalled $7,660,000 with 46 permits.
“Most of the residential development is around the town of Stettler, Erskine, Donalda, Warden and around Buffalo Lake,” van der Bank said.
Last year at the midpoint, 32 residential permits totalled $5,864,500.
More residential development is anticipated.“We expect to have more acreage subdivisions
after the municipal development plan was amended to allow two acreages for a quarter section,” van der Bank said.
Overal l for last year , the county registered development permits valued at $14,226,615.
Figures for the past year may be skewed as two other major industrial projects were in the works, although a seed-cleaning plant on a site in the Warden area, and a coal-crushing plant east of Donalda on Highway 53 have progressed no further.
Land was also opened last year to build a truck stop on Highway 12 on a 15-acre site on the eastern outskirts of town boundaries across from 38 Street for a proposed hotel/motel, convenience store, restaurant, with smaller lots for other opportunities.

Stettler’s new seniors’ supportive living com-plex Points West Living has opened its doors with a total of 104 suites.
“So far, we have 10 residents l iving here,” said general manage Su-san Cameron, who has 11 years experience in seniors care and also a registered nurse.
Since early last week, Pine Ridge in Stet t ler Hospital and Care Centre have been moving the 32 residents to Points West.
“They a re con t inu-ing to move residents from Pine Ridge, two a day, until the end of this month, and then it will close,” Cameron said.
“Residents are happy with the nice, big suites and good food.”
Located on 70 Street at the corner of 44 Avenue, the complex features 88 supportive-living suites filled by Alberta Health Services, along with 16 independent suites.
That includes 30 suites for memory care, which was previously not avail-able in Stettler.
Residents for support living will move in dur-ing August, with a grand o p e n i n g p l a n n e d f o r some time in September.
Points West already has a waiting list for the independent living.
Some residents are al-so coming from Heritage House.
“When I heard that t h i s p l ace was be ing built, I wanted to move in,” said Jim Ellwood, a resident of Heri tage House for eight years.
“The rooms are twice the size, the meals are super, and we are getting care for very good.”
Now he will also enjoy
an ideal view of Stettler Sports Park to watch soc-cer and baseball.
Points West continues to hire staff and encour-ages local people to ap-ply for positions such as licensed practical nurses, staff for administration, food services, recreation and maintenance.
“We will have a staff of about 100 employees, full-time and part-time,” Cameron said.
“ We a l r e a d y h a v e some coming form Pine Ridge.”
Wages are the same grid at Alberta Health Services.
L i c e n s e d p r a c t i -cal nurses and certified health care aid will be employed under s tan-dards of Alberta Union of Provincial Employees.
For potential residents, designated assisted liv-ing units will be capped at $1,785 a month while independent units range from $2,200 to $2,600 a month, with round-the-clock professional health care.
Residents will be ac-commodated in a cot-tage-style community at Points West.
“Each cottage will be named by the residents, families and staff to re-flect the culture of the Stettler area,” Cameron said.
“Arch ive photos o f the Stettler area will also hang around the facility.”
Over the two-storey facility, six seating areas accommodate up to 16 people for small gather-ing and meals, with other features such as sever-al lounges and exercise room which can also be used for physical thera-py.
Outside the complex, raised gardens and walk-ing paths will be located behind the building.

RUMSEY RECORD
GADSBY andWESTWOODS
DONALDADIARY
By Patty Steen
Don’t forget about the Rumsey Sports Days to be held on July 19, 20 and 21.
Derek Krywcun and Doug Hodge will be taking entries for the tournament, so if you are interested in getting a team in, phone them early as it usually fills up quickly. There is lots to look forward to: the concession will be running as usual, with the pro-ceeds going towards Mor-rin Grad Class of 2014; beer gardens down by the diamonds, free camping, supper on Saturday night served up by the Country Cookers, with a dance to follow.
Team entries include ad-mission to the dance — for everyone else, it’s $5.
Pancake breakfasts are on tap both mornings to get
you going and, of course, there’s lots of ball games to watch. Hope to see you there!
Ernie Goddard once again attended the Ponoka Stampede, which is an an-nual event for him. This year, he was accompanied by his sister, and we pre-sume it was as exciting and enjoyable as it always has been!
We have received a re-port that one of our newest residents, Vel Longman, located on the old Deer-ing place, has been having serious heart problems and has even been sent to Red Deer. We wish her well and hope for a complete recovery!
Rowley has been a busy place lately as the Amateur Dog Trial folks took over the place for five days. There were a lot of them
and they enjoyed the facili-ties and the warm welcome to their group.
The Drumheller Canada Day Parade was very well-attended and local folks en-joyed it immensely! Even people from Fort McMur-ray attend this event ev-ery year, namely, Jeremy, Nancy and Simon Foesier, along with Julie and Jayden from Nanton, joined with their Drumheller hosts, the
Guidololins, to watch the panorama passing by.
Rowley is planning its 100-plus birthday party on July 27, as well as host-ing Pizza Night. Free face-painting for the kids throughout the afternoon. And 100 pieces of birthday cake will be cut at 4 p.m. There will be continuous music as we are planning an indoor band and an out-door band. Hotdogs will
also be available.A little info on three lo-
cal communities: Rowley, Rumsey and Craigmyle were never incorporated, so there isn’t any way to actually say when they started. The history book is the source that says Row-ley had a store in 1911, changed hands in 1912 and 1913, so that is why we are saying 100-plus for the cel-ebration!
Two more visitors in Rowley for this week are Teasha and McAyla Foesi-er, from Calgary, out for a vacation and sharing time with Auntie Jamie and Chris.
A gentle reminder: The STARS ride will be com-ing up in August and we hope everyone will exhibit their usual generosity when asked for sponsorship of the participants.

A very “select” hailstorm brutally hit north of Gad-sby on Thursday afternoon, taking in an east/west strip through farmland and the building sites of Percy and Paulette Heer, Vic and Barb Carey, Wes Carey, and Larry and Kathy Tuck … to name a few.
Power in and around Gadsby was off for four hours. Crops and gardens were severely damaged. Up to six-inch drifts on the west side of buildings lasted through the next day.
On a much brighter note, on Monday, July 8, the Cal-gary Stampede honoured Frank Dahlgren with the Pio-neers of Rodeo Award at a luncheon, where he received a beautiful belt buckle. Present for the award were Neal and Lorna, Cecil and Pat, Tanner and Megan Walgen-bach; Bonnie and Kristina Kobi; Elva McAllister; Chad and Melita Sorensen and Frank’s wife Eleanor.
The family was treated throughout the day with passes to the afternoon rodeo performances, supper and the wagon races. An awesome day! Congratulations, Frank!
Percy and Paulette Heer, along with Percy’s cousin Keith and Glennys Adrian of Grande Prairie, attended Percy’s nephew Pernell and Carla Van Straten’s wed-ding on Saturday, July 13. The wedding was held in the Stettler United Church; the reception and dance in the Stettler Community Hall. Percy and Paulette also enjoyed visiting with cousins Nancy Tolenon of Eckville, Bob and DeLoyce Burns of Red Deer; his aunt Pearl Schearer and Ken Blumhagen, also of Red Deer. Joining them were daughter Christy and Curtis Wideman.
Marie Vance (Miller/Baird) and some of her family camped in the campgrounds in Gadsby recently. With her were her brothers Donnie Miller and Ken and Joanne Miller. Joyce Hansel visited her there on an afternoon.
Wedding bells rang at Westwoods July 6 when Colton Reynolds and Trista Smith exchanged vows in an outdoor wedding ceremony. Parents Karen Reynolds of Big Valley and Shawn and Samantha Smith of Devon; grandparents Gordon and Shirley Reynolds and Julia Dahl were among the guests, as were Colton’s aunt Kathy and Tim of Ed-monton. Trista’s brothers Joel and Eric; Gordie’s brother Glen Reynolds of Edmonton; sister Evelyn Guichon of Calgary and her sons Dave (Diane) of Calgary and Gary of Strathmore. A reception and dance followed at the Westwoods Agriplex. Colton is the son of the late Nor-man Reynolds. And we still think of the family as one of ours. Congratulations, Colton and Trista!
Colton and Trista honeymooned in B.C, travelling through Jasper/Banff/Golden and taking in the Calgary Stampede on Friday on their way home.
Sixteen ball teams and their families came to Gadsby on the weekend, Friday night through Sunday, to take part in the Red Eye ball tournament. Bright lights, camp-ers and trailers, fun, food and laughter for all. It was good to see Gadsby so alive once again.

ERSKINE ENQUIRERBy Cheri Neitz
Bringing in treated town water has been a topic that Erskine has tossed around for many years.
Some residents opposed the idea, citing the unsafe level of mercury in the Red Deer River, while others liked the idea of bringing in water, fearing that one day the water table wouldn’t
support the infrastructure and population.
This past year, a water line was brought into the village. It was a costly venture, but it will be a welcome asset.
County of Stettler met together last month to discuss the water supply reservoir for Erskine. The water supply line is already in place, but construction
of the reservoir is now in the planning mode.
The s i t e has been chosen and now council is confirming the design of the reservoir and truck fill building. Engineers will provide a detailed design and it will be tendered out this fall for construction.Thanks to all who donated their time to work at the casino fundraiser.

Stettler steps up to the plate this weekend as the host of the provincial intermediate B and C women’s softball championships.
The host Stettler Heat are among 20-plus teams entered in the three-day tournament at the Stettler Sports Park and one of the West Stettler Park diamonds.
“It will be an epic event for Stettler, and we are very proud and excited to host provincials this year,” said Jennifer Muhl-bach, a member of the Heat and the team’s co-manager with Sarah Tucker.
“Softball Alberta contacted our team a few months ago to let us know that there weren’t any bids for the provincials this year and asked us if we’d be interested in putting in a bid,” Muhlbach said.
The Heat, competing in the B tourna-ment, play twice Friday (8 a.m. and 2 p.m.) and twice Saturday (noon and 8 p.m.).
Playoff action is slated for Sunday, with the fi nals set for 1 p.m.
Stettler plays in the Red Deer Women’s Fastball Association. The Heat narrowly missed the playoffs, fi nishing in fi fth place in the seven-team league with a 5-8-2 record and just four points back of the fourth and fi nal playoff position.

John Langford, 15, of Stettler spent a week in Saskatoon at the Aboriginal national badminton championships. He was a gold-medallist in boys and mixed doubles events at both the under-16 and under-19 levels, and a senior singles semifi nalist.

Stettler upstart John Langford made the most of a return to his native Saskatchewan this month for the Aboriginal national badminton championships.
“I was happy,” said Langford, 15. “I thought I did well.”
It was Langford’s second Aboriginal nationals in three years, and he arrived home from Saskatoon last week with multiple doubles championships in the under-16 and under-19 categories.
“The fi rst year I went to Aboriginal nationals, it was pretty diffi cult, but this year, there wasn’t quite as many people and I saw a lot of the same faces that I saw the fi rst year, so I kind of knew what to expect.
“Playing the U19 and senior (events), though, there was a lot more competition and it was pretty diffi cult.”
Langford, a standout at the school and junior levels in Alberta, was born in La Ronge, Sask., where he was the New Year’s baby in 1998. His part Metis ancestry qualifi ed him for the Aboriginal championships.
“To register, you just need to show proof that you’re Aboriginal,” said Langford, who lived in La Ronge for two years.
“It’s just nice to go back (to Saskatchewan). There were a few people from La Ronge there, so it was nice to meet and talk with them a bit.”
Langford was in under-14 competition two years ago when he competed in the inaugural Aboriginal nationals. He didn’t participate last year because he was attending a high-performance camp in Olds at the time.
“There were some pretty good players there, and others who were all right,” Langford said of this month’s Saska-toon tournament at Walter Murray Collegiate high school.
“It’s nice to go to a national event and actually win some things. It’s a boost of confi dence and gets me ready for the next year. I just get that much more excited.”
Langford packed plenty of badminton into the weeklong tournament. Paired with Saskatchewan partners, he was a doubles champion in boys and mixed events at both the under-16 and under-19 levels. He was also a semifi nalist in senior singles play.
“I had actually dropped out of U16 singles, because I sprained my (right) wrist, and I just wanted to play senior singles so that I could just get it over with,” he said. “I’m pretty sure I could have done a lot better in singles, for the senior group, if I wasn’t hurt.
“The fi rst day at nationals, we don’t compete — we do a training program. I guess I overdid it the fi rst day, and the other days, (my wrist) was kind of starting to hurt more and more.”
Langford played soccer with Stettler’s under-16 boys, but he wasn’t available when they hosted the provincial championship, because it confl icted with his badminton nationals. He had sprained knee and ankle ligaments while playing with Stettler’s under-18 soccer team, but recovered in time for the badminton nationals.
Langford, almost six feet, is going into Grade 10 at William E. Hay Composite High School. He fi nished his junior high badminton run this spring with a third straight CWAJHAA singles title. In the fi nal, he beat a familiar face in Stettler clubmate Ryland Stefanik of Big Valley.
Three Stettler-fl avoured teams are bound for provincial baseball championships.
This weekend at Red Deer, Stettler competes in the mosquito A Tier 3 cham-pionship. Coronation is also among the six teams in that tournament, which runs Friday through Sunday’s 7 p.m. fi nal.
Next weekend, July 26-28, the Stettler Vipers head to Okotoks for the bantam AA Tier 2 championship.
Also on the July 26-28 weekend, the Lacombe Dodgers host the midget AATier 1 championship at Lacombe and Clive.
Lacombe’s roster includes Stettler natives Riley Anderson, Jordan McCallum and Stephen Zuk.
This past weekend, the Dodgers reached the fi nal of the Kelowna, B.C., tournament before losing 12-7 to Prince George. La-combe posted a 3-1 record in round-robin play, beating Surrey 10-1, losing 10-4 to Prince George, dumping North Delta 10-4 and blanking host Kelowna 10-0.
The Dodgers were tentatively scheduled to face Lloydminster this Saturday in an exhibition doubleheader at Stettler.

Red Deer Renegades striker Paula Dadensky (right) of Stettler charges for the ball as the Calgary Alliance goaltender tries to kick it away. Dadensky just missed on that shot, but scored two goals Sunday as the Renegades won the Alberta Major Women’s Soccer League game 4-2 at the Red Deer College fi eld. Dadensky, who played with RDC last fall, plans to join the U of A Pandas this September.
By Danny RodeBlack Press
Paula Dadensky didn’t get into playing soccer until Grade 8 when asked by a friend to come out for the team in Stettler.
“Until then, I played baseball, but I ended up playing soccer and it’s been great ... it’s helped with my schooling and keeps me busy,” she said.
Dadensky has devel-oped into one of the pre-mier scorers in the prov-ince and leads the Alberta Major Women’s Soccer League with nine goals in just six games.
She connected twice Sunday to lead the Red Deer Renegades to a 4-2 victory over the Calgary Alliance at RDC.
“My season is going good ... I’ve impressed myself,” she said with a laugh. “But really, I set high standards at the col-lege last year and I’m try-ing to keep it going.”
Dadensky led the RDC Queens and the ACAC South Division in scoring last season, connecting 11 times in 10 games.
Her success has caught the eye of the University of Alberta head coach and she’s already guaranteed a spot with the Pandas in the fall.
“I want to continue to grow,” she said.
Dadensky led the Ren-egades, then called Red Deer City, in scoring last season, though she didn’t have much help up front and she played less than five full games.
“I sprained my ankle and that was the end of the season,” she said. “This year, we have some strong wingers, which has helped me and the team.”
Sidney Daines is one of those offensive talents as the rookie notched her third goal of the season Sunday. Kayla Keenan added the other marker.
The win earned a split in the weekend twinbill for the Renegades — they lost 6-0 to the Northwest United in Edmonton on Saturday — and left them in eighth place in the league with a 4-2 record.
“Overall, we’re do-ing very well,” Dadensky said. “It’s nice compared to last year. This year, we have a solid core and we’re working better as a group. Plus, we have the finishing we didn’t have last year.
“We started well and have built off that.”
Renegades head coach Ado Sarcevic didn’t feel the team played its best Sunday, but was glad to take the win.
“It was tough, as we played yesterday and lost 6-0, so it was hard to come back today,” he said.
“The second game on the weekend is always tough, especially consid-ering we’ve only played six games so far and we’re not really in game shape. It’s tough when you’re not playing.”
The Renegades are also without four regulars.
“It’s that way in the summer, you seem to be a bit shorthanded at times,” Sarcevic said. “Plus, we couldn’t call up any of the youth players, as they were playing. But we’re happy with the results.”
Sarcevic is also happy with the way the season has gone so far.
“The girls have worked hard and everyone is ex-cited and they want to play,” he said. “It’s great for our program as the youth players look up and see a place they want to play. As well, we’re working alongside the college and it benefits ev-eryone.”
The Renegades took a 2-0 lead Sunday before the Alliance came back to even the count.
The Renegades return to action Sunday when they host the Calgary Callies at noon at Edgar Park North.
Dadensky powers Renegades with goals galore

KNAPP - Elva Ann
June 8, 1937 - July 10, 2007Love begins within our own hearts,
where we realize just how cherished we are by the one who made us.
From there, we can go forth and love the world. A happy, healthy home and family starts with a happy,
healthy mom who is in touch with her healing God. Thank you for the many ways you showed your love to us.
Always in our hearts, Les, Roberta, Krista and families.
BERETIIt is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother, Bernice Bereti, on December 2, 2012 in Cold Lake, AB. Mom (Bernice) waged a brave battle with cancer.Twice surviving breast cancer and colon cancer, but it was the fast moving liver cancer in 2012 that she succumbed to. Our Mom was a woman of greatness and achievement. She was proud and determined in everything she did and was very successful in instilling good, strong values in us kids. She was always there to support us in our many endeavors and to offer sensible advice (or consolation) when our lives went sideways and needed re-routing. Her wonderful sense of humor, sharp wit and effervescent personality was essential to the dynamic of our family and the friendships she forged. From humble beginnings as a young child immigrant from Poland in 1938, Mom embraced life and its many opportunities. She met and
married a good, solid man, Peter, our father and had 5 wonderful children: Angela, Daniel, Teresa, Margaret and Tanis. Mom worked hard as a wife and mother and, as an employee for companies such as Ontario Hydro, Ipso and Zellers. She saw us through many difficult times with her strength and perseverance. After our father’s passing in 1989, Mom got interested in contesting. She subscribed to a national contesting newsletter and was very diligent in her pursuit of new contests. She made weekly runs to contest entry hotspots in Stettler, Red Deer and surrounding areas. Us kids even saved all our labels from grocery products for her. Through her dedicated efforts, Mom was rewarded with extraordinary luck! She began to win prizes. Not only did she win merchandise, but she won trips. Big trips to faraway places like the Bahamas, Scotland and Australia. She also won $10,000 in travel gift certificates for which she used to travel back to the old country, Poland. For every trip she won, she chose one of us kids as her travelling companion, therefore sharing and broadeningour life experience. The best year Mom had in winnings was 1997. She won over $50 K worth of stuff including a new Chevy Thunder truck and trip to Australia. Canada AM travelled to Stettler to interview “the luckiest woman in Alberta!” In 1998, Mom sold the house in Stettler and went to live with Teresa, her military daughter. This living arrangement was both beneficial and enhancing as she was able to share time with her grandchildren and also enjoy the different locations that Teresa and family were posted to. Like California and Manitoba. In 2008, Mom, Teresa and family settled again in Cold Lake. Ever the pursuant of personal enrichment, Mom continued her passion for reading. She endeavored to read all the Pulitzer Prize winning novels. She was successful in reading 87 of them. Mom was probably the library’s best customer and Doris the librarian, in Cold Lake can attest to that! Not only was Mom an avid reader, but she was a statistician as well. She loved making lists on everything from scores on her computer games, authors and books she had read and would like to read and on the many libraries across Alberta that the books come from. She often said that the best job she could have had would have been a Library Records Clerk. Our Mom, Bernice, was an inspiration and a gift to us and to all those that had been fortunate enough to cross paths with her. Even in sickness, Mom maintained a positive attitude and entertained the hospital staff with stories of her adventures. We, the family, will be placing Mom with our Pop, Peter, at Lakeview Cemetery in Stettler on July 26, 2013. All those who wish to be in attendance are welcome to join us between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Although Mom has left us with tear-stained faces and weeping hearts, we take comfort in knowing that she is together again with our Pop, for now and forever.
Always remembered and forever missed,Love from the Bereti family.

Left to mourn Mom’s pass ing a re he r ch i ld ren : Dona ld (Rae) , Bonnie, Wendy and Greg, numerous grandchi ldren, nephews and nieces and

She loved being involved with the Church, Sunday School, CGIT, Choir, Vacation Bible School and Bible study and prayer. Mom came from an athletic family; her brothers: Ab, Donnie, Vern and Alvin were very well known within the hockey circles in Ontario.

LAGOREAllan Ernest Mar 17, 1943 to July 7, 2013Allan (Al) Lagore passed away peacefully after a 3 year struggle with physical and mental health difficulties. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, brother, son and uncle. Al is survived by his wife Margaret, son Brad (Ken), mother Mabel, his younger sisters Darlene Doell (Larry), Netta Wigington (Don) and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Al was predeceased by his father (Ernest). Al touched the lives
of countless people in his role as teacher; it was his passion and a profession he loved for 32 years when he retired in 1998. Even after retirement he continued teaching as a substitute until 2008 as much as his health and his RV travel plans with Margaret allowed. Former students were every-where, and often thanked him for his support while they were his high school students or participants in after school teams of volleyball, basketball or track and field. Al was equally passionate about sports, and enjoyed playing hockey, baseball and in later years golfing became another passion for him. If ever you wanted to find Al, all you had to do was look on the golf course where you would see him paired with Bob Stewart (Stewie!) in a game or over a beer. Al was committed to his students development, and to his role as a national volleyball referee and (mentor) to many, many up and coming referees. His commitment to refereeing took him all over Alberta, and as far as Japan, a trip of a lifetime for Al. In his retirement, he and wife Margaret travelled extensively in their RV across Canada and the US to explore the sights that North America had to offer on the road. Their son Bradley often would fly to the nearest airport they were camped by to share in some of the sights and many fine memories were made. Per Allan’s wishes there will be no funeral but the family requests in lieu of flowers donations may be made in his name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Mental Health Association.

ROBINSON (nee Eden)JoyceJune 21, 1930 - July 8, 2013Joyce passed away peacefully in her sleep, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre after a brief battle with cancer. She was born in Haydock, Lancashire, England to Harry E d e n a n d w i f e E s t h e r (Stockley). She is survived by her son Paul, granddaughter Shannon, extended grand-daughters Megan (Jeremy), Lindsey and their mom Lee; sisters Dorothy (Eric), Audrey (Stan) and her brother Derek (Eileen). She is also survived
by numerous nephews, nieces and cousins from a large family in England. Joyce was predeceased by her husband Joe, and was never quite the same after his passing. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and will be sorely missed. Joyce had a difficult childhood as a curved spine required for her to have 3 vertebrae fused and to be kept in body casts in a sanitarium for 5 years of her life beginning at age 3. She did heal well and was released from the hospital at age 8 just as WWII began in Europe. At age 14 she began working in a textile mill, weaving material for parachutes and barrage balloons during WWII. After the war, a young sailor named Joe Robinson was de-mobbed and started also started work in the mill. The two fell in love and were married in 1950. In 1954 they immigrated to Canada with their then 3-year-old son Paul Robinson and settled in Stettler, AB. Joyce loved Stettler and made many lifelong friends. In 1965 they moved to Red Deer where Joyce managed the “Betty Shop” women’s clothing store, once again making many friends along the way. Many thanks to the E.M.T.’s and the staff at Ward 32 for all their care and help. R.I.P. Nana. In honor of Joyce’s life, a funeral service was held at Parkland Funeral Home, 6287- 67A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of fowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 200, 325 Manning Road N.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2E 9Z9.

ENDIANG ENTERPRISE
By Les and Rosemary Stulberg
Shannon Knowles and Vicki Ballinger flew to North Dakota last week for the funeral of their dad’s cousin, Bud Ballinger. He was 90. Bud is survived by Eva, his wife of 69 years, and six children and their families. Bud and Eva made many trips to Endiang to visit Wayne and Lois Ballinger over the years and they got to know many in our com-munity during those visits. Our sympathy goes to the Ballinger family in their loss.
The Scapa community is host-ing a farewell potluck supper on Sunday, July 21 at 4 p.m. at the Scapa hall for several folks who have left their community. The event will bid farewell to Dan and Lil Weich, Scott and Krista Viste, Lester and Judy Diegel, Dallas Chidley, Wayne and Debbie Fecho, Fiona Briody and Carol Mammel.
Anyone wishing to contribute to the community gift ($3 per family) can call Thelma Bossert at 403-854-2393.
Joe and Beth Knowles had their grandchildren, Nigel and
Adelynn Kroeker from Lamont, spend a week with them. They re-turned home on Sunday. The chil-dren’s mother Deanna and their 12-year-old sister Miranda were in Guatemala on mission work at an orphanage for the week. They reported unbelievable poverty.
Several folks from the district attended the wedding of Carla Potter and Pernell Van Straten in Stettler on Saturday. Congratula-tions to this fine young couple.
There were a few Endiang con-nections of note at the Calgary Stampede. The Schellenbergs had their Endiang bucking bulls at the Stampede.
Longtime stampede fans Ken and Eleanor Schultz were among those taking in the stampede. It was Ken’s 71st time at the Calgary Stampede and the 61st time for Eleanor.
Several people saw Chad So-rensen on TV as he brought his father-in-law Neal Walgenbach’s chuckwagon on a parade in front of the grandstand, following one of the races.
Lee Hunt and Jim and Maureen
Wasdal were to Millarville on the weekend for the wedding of their grandson and nephew Cody Arm-strong. Cody is the son of Len and Sue (nee Hunt) Armstrong.
Ken and Eleanor Schultz are hosting their 31st annual pancake breakfast and campout weekend on July 19-21 at their farm. There will be fireworks on Saturday night. On Sunday is the pancake breakfast, the 10th annual Great Endiang Balloon Race, Frisbee golf and a potluck supper. The Schultzs ex-tend an invitation to all to attend any or all of the weekend.
Keep in mind the Wilkie 100-year farm celebration at Don and Wanda Wilkie’s on July 20, beginning at 3 p.m. They extend an invitation to all to join them in celebrating.
We send get well wishes to Jer-ry Woelk, who has spent several weeks in the Hanna hospital. Hope you are on the mend and home soon, Jerry.

HALKIRK HERALDBy Dorothy Andersonand Rose Koenraadt
Hail has hit the area last week, varying quite a bit with some crops barely having any damage, to other fields being hit hard and having 80 to 90 per cent of crop “hailed out.”
Jacey Gamroth, Geri Slemp and Christine and Nicole Ro-land were part of the Corona-tion Steelers team that played provincial ball in Sundre last weekend. They defeated Del-burne to bring home the bronze medal. Congratulations. Harold and Velma, David and Linda and Kurt and Erin Chick were among the spectators.
Fifteen women gathered in Stettler on Sunday afternoon to honour Aileen Garvin, bride-elect of Jody Anderson, with gifts of good wishes.
On the highway, you might see a fellow on horseback with a truck and stock trailer and a holiday trailer following him. He happens to be from Alix and is trying to ride his horses all the way to Manitoba.
Our community sends condo-lences to Murray and Gail Schur and their family on the passing of their son, Brandon, on July 10. Services will be held in Po-noka on Wednesday. Their story is on Page 139 of Home Fires — Volume 2.
Sympathy is extended to Dale and Melody Kent and Dwight and Lena Kent and their families on the passing of their brother-in-law, Cal Waterston of Camrose.

COMING UP: Aug. 24 — Halkirk Elks annual bull-a-rama.
BOTHA BOOSTERBy Louise Bellair
Happy Birthday goes out to Kaleigh Morris for this coming Sunday, July 21. We hope you have a fantastic day, Kaleigh.
There’s just one more week to pay your Botha land taxes before the penalty is added to your bill. So make sure you make it out before closing time on July 31 … to avoid the penalty.
Botha is still looking for a village worker. The worker must have a valid driver’s licence and be familiar with equipment, especially tractors. Please bring a resume or written application into the vil-lage office.
The Summer Playground Program is well on its way, with only two more weeks remaining. Boy, where did the time go?
This week, they’re enjoying painting and con-struction of items. Next week is horse week, with a guest speaker on Tuesday, and the creation of stick horses on Thursday.
This summer program continues until Aug. 1, so if you haven’t already got your child involved,
talk to Jamie Wahl at 403-742-5986. They have a lot of fun and really enjoy the fun they are having together.
The Botha community will have the “Raise the Roof” event on Sept. 28 (Saturday), so make sure you mark that on your calendars, and come out for a lot of fun. The Domino band will be entertaining the group that day. Keep your eyes open for the time.
If you have any questions or would like to be on the board, contact Lorraine Hankins for more in-formation. She can be reached at 403-742-1155 or jlhankins @xplornet.com.
For the summer, the village office will be closed off and on, so please phone 403-742-5079 first be-fore going to the office.
Bingo evening happens again Tuesday, July 23, starting at 7:15 p.m., so come down to the Botha Senior Centre that evening for a great time. Who knows … you could be the next big winner.
Don’t forget that coffee is on at the Botha Senior Centre every Wednesday morning. All are invited to a sociable start to the day.
Turn off the television.
Turn ontheirminds.
In school or at home, the newspaper is a textbook for life. Encourage your children to make reading the newspaper a part of their everyday routine for lifelong learning.
