All ice huts removed from lake before deadline

STUART FULLARTONSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

For the first time since its inception, the Sylvan Lake Management Committee’s Take It Off program has seen the suc-cessful removal of all ice huts from the lake before the program’s deadline.

“This makes us happy as committee members and local residents that people seem to be paying attention to the message we’ve been promoting, along with our

partners in municipal and provincial government,” said committee chair Keith Stephenson.

Stephenson at the start of ice fishing season said the committee has long aimed to see a 100 per cent removal rate, and had just three huts left on the lake at the end of last season.

Members also want to see program registration eventually reach the same rate in order to ensure ice huts can be connected to their owners in the event

huts become damaged, vandalized or abandoned.

“The more we get regis-tered, the easier it is to con-trol,” Stephenson said.

The committee in mid-March issued a public advi-sory encouraging the early removal of ice huts from the lake in light of quickly deteriorating ice condi-tions.

Registration forms for next year’s Take It Off pro-gram can be found on the Town of Sylvan Lake’s web-site at www.sylvanlake.ca.

Hunting for Easter eggs - Sophia New and Ollie Crego examine their take from the youth bowling Easter Egg Hunt at Railside Bowling March 30. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN


Sylvan Lake’s Kraft Hockeyville successor has been crowned.

North Saanich, B.C. was named this year’s winner in the nationwide competi-tion, and as such will host the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks in NHL pre-season hockey later this year.

The town will also receive $100,000 to put toward the construction of a new locker room in its Panorama Recreation Centre Hockey Arena.

The announcement arrived almost one year to the day that Sylvan Lake won the 2014 competition.

“Kraft Hockeyville gen-

support by providing a pre-season game to the winner and by working to ensure that future generations of players have well-main-tained rinks at which to skate.”

Bonnyville and Morinville were the only Alberta communities to reach this year’s final 10.

MARK ANIELSKITROY MEDIA

Premier Jim Prentice missed an important oppor-tunity with this year’s budget to open a new chapter in Alberta’s economic future: if only he had been as bold as Peter Lougheed had been.

It was in the 1970s that Lougheed introduced an oil and gas royalty regime that collected an average of 27 per cent from oil and gas revenues. In 1977, in fact, royalty collections reached 37.7 per cent of the value of oil and gas production.

It’s been downhill ever since. The nadir for oil and gas royalties was 2012, when a mere 9.1 per cent was col-lected.

The decline in royalty payments to Albertans since the peak reached in 1977-1979 is due in part to the updated oil sands royalty regime introduced by for-mer Premier Ralph Klein in 1997. This generous royalty regime requires oil sands producers to pay a base production royalty of only one per cent of oil and gas production revenues while granting a capital cost allow-ance, or write off, of close to 100 per cent on new oil sands capital investment.

This substantial change in royalty policy was predi-cated on a belief that royalty charges were just another onerous tax, an unwarrant-ed burden on productive industry.

If, like Ralph Klein, you believe this argument, you’ll be inclined to reduce royal-ties to encourage business

Dear Editor,

On March 27, the Provost Fire Department was in Sylvan Lake to pick up a water truck that the M.D. of Provost purchased for the fire department, when our vehicle broke down. We received help from several members of the community that day, and it was a very impressive

display of a small commu-nity helping people from another small town.

We were able to get our vehicle running and return home with great apprecia-tion in our hearts for your community. The Provost Fire Department would like to thank the following peo-ple for their selfless acts of kindness:

There were two EMT’s

from Innisfail that stopped to help and provided some tools. We apologize we did not get their names. Two members of the Sylvan Lake Fire Department came to help — Cliff Brausen and Steve Scanland. Darren Hurrell from NAPA Auto Parts came to help. Sheldon Hornberger from Hookers Towing towed the truck to Autopro free of charge.

Clint Gaetz and Dallas Menard at Autopro fixed the truck free of charge. Lastly, but definitely not least, Chad Tallon of CP Water Hauling was with us all afternoon, driving us around, supplying tools, offering his shop and vehi-cles for us to use, and call-ing in favours from most of the above mentioned — all on an injured leg that I’m

sure was hurting all day.All members of the

Provost Fire Department would like to thank each and every one of you for your help, and the commu-nity of Sylvan Lake should be proud to have people like this in their communi-ty.

Jim Prentice missed a golden opportunity with this year’s budget

growth; and — like income tax — base their calculation on net earnings.

On the other hand, if, like former premier Peter Lougheed, you believe resource royalties a return on equity for the province’s oil and gas assets, you’ll be more inclined to share the gross revenues to maximize the province’s equity return as his government did.

What’s the business logic of treating oil and gas royal-ties like a return on equity?

Simple. Alberta’s royalty is a reasonable return on assets and the revenue it generates allows the prov-ince to invest upfront in infrastructure, like roads, environmental and educa-tional facilities and a host of others supporting services that directly support oil sands development.

In fact, the lack of this investment is probably the single most consistent prob-lem facing oil sands opera-tors.

One unintended conse-quence of Klein’s royalty regime was that it created a free-for-all on oil sands project costs.

The devastating result of this poorly constructed pol-icy was a 300 per cent infla-tion rate on oil sands oper-ating and capital costs between 1997 and 2012 (or 11.2 per cent per annum increase).

Fly in workers from Newfoundland, put them up on full expenses in camps — no problem — it all comes directly out of the pockets of Albertans.

The bad news is this

unnecessary inflation not only ramped up costs on oil sands developments, it also super-heated labour mar-kets across Alberta, placing an additional cost burden on all other businesses.

Had Prentice shown Lougheed’s political courage for the 2015 budget, he would have negotiated a new royalty agreement with industry beforehand to increase the royalty capture rate to 25 per cent.

Under a 25 per cent cap-ture rate, Albertans would have been able to expect oil and gas royalties to reach $11.3 billion in 2015 (based on an average oil price of US$50/bbl), instead of only $5.6 billion based on the

current capture rate of 10 per cent. When oil prices recover to US$75 per barrel in 2016, as some forecast, Alberta would then be col-lecting roughly $17 billion in royalty revenues.

Now just imagine this revenue picture lasting for another 200 years, which is the estimated time remain-ing for Alberta’s oil sands resources.

Instead of ruing the day of another energy bust and a $7 billion projected fiscal shortfall, Albertans would be envisioning a future where Alberta’s natural cap-ital advantage in oil is gen-erating a healthy return on investment that could grow the Heritage Fund into a

$100 billion asset by 2030.The evidence suggests

that Alberta does not have a spending problem, but a misplaced notion that our royalties are must another oppressive tax on business.

More than ever, Alberta needs a vision for a new economy based on optimiz-ing the equity returns on Alberta’s non-renewable resource assets.

Eckville rejoices in Sylvan Lake urgent care announcementThe Eckville communi-

ty is ecstatic after hearing that its Sylvan Lake neigh-

bour will eventually receive its long-awaited urgent care facility.

Plans are for the facility to serve non-life threaten-ing injuries, and house

doctors, X-ray equipment and beds for medical observation. It will also be open every day of the week with some additional hours of operation.

The Town of Eckville was one of several com-munities that lobbied alongside Sylvan Lake for the facility. Its eventual presence will help fill a massive void in the area, Eckville Mayor Helen Posti feels.

“It’s wonderful,” she said. “It’s really needed.”

The Eckville Hospital closed in 1995, resulting in an overload of work in Red Deer and leaving patients waiting for long periods of time, she added.

The presence of urgent care in Sylvan Lake, she feels, will help alleviate that burden.

“If it’s not a heart attack

or something like that, you don't need to go there, so that will be really good for our community,” she said. “If you're a working moth-er and you come home and your kids are sick, you can take them there rather than to go and sit in Red Deer for hours in emer-gency. That will free up the emergency in Red Deer and it will make a really big difference.”

Posti said Eckville resi-dents are glad that Sylvan Lake is receiving an urgent care facility, with many of them having attended the public meetings held over the past several years in support of the cause.

“We’re so happy for Sylvan Lake and for all the communities that wanted to see this happen,” she said. “This is absolutely wonderful.”

SYLVAN LAKE RCMP PHOTO


Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a number of vehicles stolen in two possibly-related thefts that took place in Sylvan Lake earlier this week.

The first incident on April 4 saw a white 2000 Rustler holiday trailer taken overnight from the back of a house on Hallgren Drive in Hewlett Park. Police on Tuesday con-firmed that the trailer has since been recovered.

A small utility trailer holding two ATVs was then taken at around 6 a.m.

Police seeking information in possibly-related vehicle theftson April 6 from a house on Harrigan Street — about a block away from the first incident.

In the second incident, two male suspects were seen driving away from the scene and heading south on Harper Drive before turning east onto Harrison Road. The vehicle they were seen driving was described as a possibly-lift-ed black diesel truck with a short box and regular cab.

The ATVs stolen includ-ed a red 2008 Honda and a black 2009 Arctic Cat. The single-axle trailer on which they were stolen bore the Alberta licence plate 75-1563.

Police said it’s not known whether the two crimes are related, but noted a “strong likelihood” due to their proximity and similar time frames.

“Please take this as a word of caution — if you have trailers in the area that are unsecured, take necessary steps to prevent theft,” said Cpl. James Allemekinders of the Sylvan Lake RCMP. “One of these trailers did in fact have locks on the hitch, but was still taken.”

Fitting hitch and wheel locks and blocking trailers are just some of the actions police recommend in order to make them difficult for

thieves to steal.Anyone with informa-

tion on either of the thefts is asked to contact the Sylvan Lake RCMP detach-ment at 403-858-3333.

Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave a tip online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Information provided to Crime Stoppers does not need to be accompanied by a name, and may result in a cash reward if it leads to an arrest.

3:29 a.m. – An RCMP officer on patrol on 50th Avenue in Sylvan Lake came across an intoxicated male outside Dairy Queen. A 31-year-old male from Red Deer was arrested after checks revealed that he had outstanding warrants and conditions not to consume alcohol. The male was sub-sequently charged with fail-ing to comply with condi-tions of a recognizance.

March 3012:19 a.m. – A 36-year-

old Grande Prairie male is charged after police attend-ed a suspicious vehicle in the Boston Pizza parking lot in Sylvan Lake. They identi-fied a male who was sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, despite conditions that he was not to be behind the steering wheel of any vehicle. The male was sub-sequently charged with fail-ing to comply with condi-tions of a recognizance.

March 313:51 p.m. – A 57-year-

old male is facing a fine as a result of a collision involv-ing a pedestrian on Highway 20 at Hinshaw Drive in Sylvan Lake. A 22-year-old male was crossing east-bound at the intersection with the driver stopped at a red light. The pedestrian had not fully crossed when he was struck by the vehicle on his left elbow as he attempted to leap out of the way. He sustained a minor injury to his arm. The driv-

er is charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian already on the highway when enter-ing highway.

3:52 p.m. – RCMP mem-bers attended Sylvan Lake after witnesses reported seeing two males who appeared to be in distress on a quad far out on the lake. Witnesses reported that the males appeared to be getting closer to shore but with recent rains there was a concern that they might fall through the ice. The fire department was dispatched as a precaution, however when crews arrived the males sped away on the quad in the opposite direction, leaving the area.

2:45 a.m. – A regular patrol by police resulted in fines against two youths. Police observed a vehicle being driven erratically on 46th Street at Lakeshore Drive in Sylvan Lake. The vehicle was stopped and the driver was determined to be a 14-year-old youth who had consumed liquor and was operating the vehicle without a license. The 17-year-old passenger was the owner of the vehicle. As a result, the driver was charged with driving care-lessly; driving at an unrea-sonable speed; and operat-ing a motor vehicle without a driver’s licence. The 17-year-old youth is charged with permitting an unqualified person to drive. The vehicle was seized at the scene and the parents of the youths notified.

My brother asked a very good question the other day. He asked why in the world Albertans get so excited for spring? It’s mucky, muddy, wet, brown, gross and I don’t know about you, but I loooove the smell of 4 month old dog poop. Spring in Alberta is gross. So why do we like it?

I think it’s not so much about the here and now with Spring, so much as it is with what’s yet to come. We put up with the puddles and the mud because we get a breath of warm air and are reminded that Summer is coming! That joyous season when we can barbeque and camp and swim and play! Spring says “Just hold on a little longer, Summer’s coming!” We yearn for Summer and know that Spring is the promise that summer is coming.

It is much the same picture we get in Revelation 21 when the Apostle John writes:

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will

be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

This is the Summer that those who follow Jesus hope for. We stand in the Springtime of eternity. We have a glimpse of what is yet to come through Jesus. He gave us hope, healing and a breath of warm air from the Father, but our healing is not complete yet. We still face death, we still mourn, we still weep, our hearts still break. There is still racial tension, slavery, war and disaster, our world is still broken. But we have a glimpse of hope through Jesus for what is yet to come. A moment when our tears will be wiped away and we will see the last of death. A moment when we will be made new and life will burst forth from Spring into Summer. So enjoy your Spring, both literally and fi guratively. And look forward to the new life that is going to be bursting forth.

Brian and Marlis Hansen, owners of Top O’ the Hill Golf Course in Sylvan Lake, are looking forward to their last sea-son of owning the course, as they’re putting it up for sale this spring.

The course has operat-ed as a family-run business for the past 31 years. Brian and Marlis were the sec-ond generation to own it, and have done so for the past 24 years, with Brian’s parents being the first owners seven years prior, Marlis Hansen said.

She said her husband’s family bought a little acre-age in the 1960s, then eventually worked to con-vert it into the golf course. In 1984, they opened the golf course, and it has been in operation ever since.

“Brian and his dad and a few of his dad's good friends worked a number of summers turning it basically from a pasture into the golf course,” Marlis Hansen said. “So they did it all themselves. There wasn't an architect or a golf course design company or anyone hired.”

Even though the golf course is family owned and operated, the Hansens are motivated to sell as they want to move on to their next endeavours, which could include work-ing in the winter and tak-ing time off in the sum-mer.

Marlis Hansen said that for as long as she and her husband have been mar-ried, the two have owned summer businesses, and owning the golf course right now means shutting it in the winter and work-ing hard to run the place and serve customers in the summer.

The Hansens live on the golf course, but have bought a cabin in an area near Petro Beach. She said

Family-owned golf course going up for sale

their goal is to take advan-tage of, and enjoy, sum-mers at the lake rather than at the golf course.

Selling the golf course they have owned for the past 24 years will be a life change for the Hansens, but one they are ready to accept, as Marlis Hansen

described her husband as a “water bug.”

“He’s really missed out on being able to take advantage of the lake,” she said. “He was a water skier and a sailor and all those things.”

She added she doesn’t know who will buy the golf

course or what will happen to it, but she said she would love to see it pur-chased by someone who will continue it as a golf course. She understands, however, that the land could be used for other development.

“The golf course indus-try has been in a slump for some time,” she said. “It’s pretty difficult to make a living with a golf course these days. We have stayed as long as we

have because we employ ourselves and family members. We work long days and we wear a lot of hats.”

Hansen said she has gone from being in the garden planting the flow-ers that adorn the course

to being the chef that cooks the meals for a tournament. She said making a living in the golf industry is tough, but she would still love to see it continue in its founding roots.

“It's a great place for

families and beginner golfers,” she said. “But who knows — it could be purchased by developers. There’s quite a view up from the lake from this area, so it could be pur-chased for small acreages or something.”

StayInformed

Keep Public Notices in Newspapers

Had you read you were getting a new neighbour?

The Government of Alberta recently passed Bill 20 – the Municipal Government Amendment Act - in the Legislature. Bill 20 gives Alberta municipalities the ability to pass an advertising bylaw allowing them to simply post important legal notices on the municipality’s website and completely bypass their local community newspaper. These Public Notices deal with proposed bylaws or resolutions, public hearings or scheduled meetings – decisions that affect your living, your neighbourhood, and you.

Would you know what is happening in your municipal district if these notices were published only online? Would you miss the issues that deserve your input if they were not delivered into your hands, published in this newspaper?

Encourage your town council to maintain your right to know about the progress and management of your community. Ask them to keep public notices in your community newspaper – your audited, verified, accountable news source.

Take the time now to reach out to your mayor, your reeve, your councillor or your CAO. Tell them you value your community newspaper, that you want to stay informed.

BOARD MEMBER

gered wolves are in Canada during a presentation by Wolf Awareness field researcher Sadie Parr March 26.

Students were presented

with the facts of how wolves behave, live, what they eat and their role in nature. They also learned that humans are the biggest threat to wolves, and Parr said they are not being pro-tected in Canada.

She said wolves have the same rights as rats when it comes to hunting regula-tions, and that there is a common misconception that wolves are aggressive towards humans, when in fact, their behaviour is quite the opposite.

“Wolves are very shy by nature, but in many areas they have learned to fear humans because we have been persecuting them for so long,” Parr said. “They are also curious and intelli-gent animals, so where they haven’t learned to fear humans, they are more like-ly to be seen.”

Parr said it’s important to educate students on the subject as they are “future leaders.” It’s very important, she feels, that they under-stand how various aspects

of nature are all intercon-nected.

“I believe it’s very impor-tant for young people to recognize the inherent value of all living animals,” Parr said. “Wolves are extremely intelligent and are very important to the environment. This is all information that is going to contribute to a natural lega-cy in Canada if we manage things responsibly.”

Parr said she hopes the students will learn that their voice does count, and she

reinforced the idea of mak-ing a difference by advocat-ing for the fair treatment of wolves.

She said writing to deci-sion makers, signing peti-tions, educating people on the truth about wolves and asking to improve hunting regulations are all ways youths can help make change happen.

“If they don't want to see wolves and wildlife mis-managed in their province, they can affect change,” Parr said.

PLC will aid in early childhood developmentcontinued from page 13

The centre will foster an environment where parents can connect with one anoth-er to share their stories, and provide them access to help-ful services, Klimchuk said.

She explained that the early years of a child’s life are crucial in laying a foun-dation for preventing vul-nerability later on in life. The centre, she said, will provide resources to parents to aid them in helping their small children develop.

“Some parents might be isolated from a support sys-tem or have family too far away to help,” Klimchuk said. “They may not know what to do or who to turn to.”

She said the centre will provide programs and ser-vices that are closer to fami-lies and the communities they thrive in.

Parents and caregivers will also have the opportu-nity to access additional support and participate in a variety of activities, as Klimchuk said parenting is about community resources and reaching developmental milestones.

“It’s connecting parents, which is really important, and of course all the other activities that can help you become a better parent and help your children learn to socialize,” Klimchuk said.

She said the centre will also provide support to fam-ilies who are new in the community, as well as aid in early childhood education.

“If you’re new in a com-munity and you don't have the supports that you need, these centres are absolutely critical,” Klimchuk said. “I profoundly believe that get-ting these kids ready is so important. In Alberta about 29 per cent of children in Kindergarten aren't quite ready, so we need to work on that. That's why I am so committed to these Parent Link Centres.”

Sylvan Lake mayor Sean McIntyre attended the announcement and said he

couldn’t be happier with the new centre opening and providing the community with essential programs and resources.

He said the average age of the town’s population is

under 32 years old, and the town is growing at a rate of 4.5 per cent per year, which means the town’s young population is expanding.

“We’re growing with a ton of young families, and

the Parent Link Centre in that regard means a lot for our region,” McIntyre said. “It means we’re helping to equip young families and children with the tools that they need to be successful,

and that means a brighter and more hopeful commu-nity.”

Klimchuk said about 1,000 babies born every week in Alberta, and that the government knows the

importance of supporting young families.

“Parents need support,” Klimchuk said. “We want to be there to support them so kids are ready for Kindergarten.”

Zoe competed in seven events over the weekend in the girls 11-12 age group. In the 50m and 100m freestyle she swam personal best times and earned her 11-year-old ‘A’ provincial qualifying times. She also competed in the 50m and 100m butterfly and the 100m and 400m individual medley (IM), also swim-ming personal best times. Zoe placed 12th in the 400m IM and 14th in the 50m butterfly.

Elizabeth Moore (13) was the third competitor from the team and had a successful weekend win-ning a silver medal and four bronze medals. Elizabeth got the silver Sylvan Lake Nauticals enjoyed a busy and successful March. SUBMITTED

Sylvan Lake Nauticals place well in Calgary, Saskatoonmedal in the 100m breast-stroke with a new personal best time achieved. Her bronze medals were in the 200m breaststroke, 100m and 200m individual med-ley and the 100m butterfly, all with personal best times. She swam a 15-year-old national qualifying time in both the 100m butterfly and the 200m IM. She placed fourth in the 50m breast stroke and sixth in the 50m backstroke, even after getting caught up in lane ropes on her turn.

On the following week-end of March 12 to 15, Zoe, Noah and Elizabeth were joined by Matthew and Tyler Gauthier as the team traveled with Coach Trevor Burns to Saskatoon to com-pete in the 2015 Man./Sask. S h or t C ou r s e Championships. It was another exciting weekend of racing for the five com-petitors.

Zoe competed in seven events and qualified to swim in all seven finals, placing in the top 10 in the 50m and 100m backstroke and the 100m butterfly. Zoe swam in the 100m freestyle and the 200m backstroke, getting person-al best times and her 11-year-old provincial ‘A' qualifying times. She also got personal best times in the 50m and 100m back-stroke and the 100m but-terfly.

Noah had a really good weekend qualifying in six

out of seven events for eve-ning finals. Noah swam personal best times in his 50m, 200m and 400m free-style, the 50m and 100m butterfly and the 200m IM. Noah placed fifth in the 200m freestyle and ninth in the 100m freestyle.

Elizabeth had a very successful weekend getting three gold medals, one sil-ver medal, two bronze medals and a fourth and fifth place. Elizabeth took the gold medals in the 50m, 100m, 200m breaststroke events, getting a personal best time and a 16-18-year-old national qualifying time in the 200m breast-stroke. Her bronze medals were in the 200m butterfly and the 100m backstroke, with a personal best time and a new 15-and-under western qualifying time in the 100m backstroke. She placed fourth in the 100m butterfly and fifth in the 50m butterfly, getting per-sonal best times in both races, as well as 15-year-old national qualifying times and 16-and-over western qualifying times. The silver medal that she won was for her participation in the 13-and-14-year-old pro-vincial medley relay that she was asked to swim the breaststroke leg of. What an honour to be asked to represent Alberta.

Matthew Gauthier (15) had a very good weekend with his best event being the 100m breaststroke, in

which he earned gold and his first-ever 15-year-old national qualifying time, as well as his 17-and-over western qualifying time. Matthew also placed fifth in the 50m breaststroke, getting yet another 15-year-old national qualifying time. He also swam the 100m butterfly and got his 15-year-old provincial ‘A’

qualifying time, and com-peted in the 200m breast-stroke, 50m butterfly and the 50m and 100m free-style, breaking two 15-year-old boys club records.

Tyler Gauthier (15) swam in seven events throughout the weekend placing a strong fifth in the 200m butterfly. Tyler swam personal best times in the

100m backstroke, 50m and 200m butterfly and the 400m individual medley, taking the Sylvan Lake club record for 15-year-old boys in the 200m butterfly.

It was a great weekend and we look forward to the long course meets that will be starting in April for the Sylvan Lake Nauticals swim team.

Sylvan Lake Terry’s Lease Maintenance (TLM) Atom A Lakers players are counting down the days to May 30, when they’ll get to

Ball chase - Poplar Ridge School students Colby Knight, Maia Belich and Alexa Roberts race toward the ball in a game of basketball at the school recently. The Poplar Ridge students were joined by students from Benalto School for an afternoon of basketball together.

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

Atom A Lakers to experience life as an Edmonton Oilermeet, greet and spend a full day with an Edmonton Oilers player at Rexall Place in Edmonton.

The Lakers team is one of the 14 teams attending the event this year, and assistant coach Dan Weik

said this is the third year in a row that they have been invited.

“They are pretty lucky and they know what to expect,” Weik said. “They sometimes get T-shirts, jerseys and water bottles

and a whole bunch of other stuff. It’s really well done and very organized. It doesn't cost us a penny.”

The day will see the players spending a day in the life of a professional NHL hockey player at

Rexall Place. The players will tour the

Oilers dressing room, train professionally on ice, learn yoga stretches and learn proper game-time nutri-tion. The day will finish off with a barbecue for the players and their families.

“It's a full practice ses-sion. They will do a whole bunch of drills and it’s structured similar to what an NHL practice would be,” Weik said. “They do agility and strength training and there's professional trainers that put them through the paces. They do a full dry-land training work out. It's a really cool day.”

Weik said the players will learn how to eat prop-erly in order to perform at their fullest potential. He said they learn to avoid eat-ing sugary foods.

“Proper eating and diet is important to perfor-mance on ice — and off, for that matter,” Weik said. “It’s putting proper fuels into

their bodies so they can perform at their highest level.”

But perhaps the icing on the cake for these young players will be the chance to meet an Oilers player face to face.

“They get to meet and greet and get a picture and shake hands with an Oilers player,” Weik said. “It’s a surprise; we’re not sure which Oilers player will be there to do a question-and-answer at the session with the whole group.”

Weik said that after get-ting to know the player during the question-and-answer session, the young-er players realize they may have more in common with their hockey heroes than they realize.

“They just realize if they put their mind to it and put in the work, it could hap-pen that they end up in the NHL or playing pro some-where in Europe or wher-ever,” Weik said.

Marg Metcalf displays her Vermilion River painting — one of many she’ll have on display as the feature artist at this year’s Encore Annual Sale and Celebration of Creative Expression in Lacombe April 17 and 18. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

Sylvan Lake’s own Marg Metcalf will be the feature artist at this year’s Encore Annual Sale and Celebration of Creative Expression in Lacombe April 17 and 18.

Metcalf will display close to 30 of her own landscape paintings and speak about her love of painting as a hobby in retirement. She’ll also discuss various life experiences, such as travel-ing across Canada and visit-ing France.

Metcalf described being chosen as this year’s feature artist as “very special,” and said she’s attended the show every year since its incep-tion.

“It’s a special acknowl-edgement,” Metcalf said. “You get some free advertis-ing and you get to do a couple of presentations dur-ing the show. It’s good.”

Metcalf has been paint-ing for the past 20 years after retiring from her full-time career as a nurse.

She spends time painting at her family’s cabin north of Radium, and said she loves being in quiet places that haven’t been disturbed by civilization. It is in these places that the majority of her acrylic paintings are brought to life.

“It's totally great,” Metcalf said. “I think it's great to have a passion to fill your time with and things you want to chase, explore and grow.”

When sitting down to paint, Metcalf said she can start and finish a smaller piece in the span of one to two days. Sometimes, she said, her paintings come together quite quickly.

But painting larger piec-es take one to two weeks to complete as she sometimes takes time to plan and pre-pare them before hand. And she never spends six months painting one piece, as she feels the motivating idea behind the painting can lose its spontaneity in that time.

Sylvan Lake’s Metcalf to feature

in Lacombe celebration of art

“You tend to over paint,” Metcalf said. “You stay at it too long, you pick away at it and eventually it loses its spontaneity.”

Metcalf ’s price range of her paintings varies signifi-cantly as she paints a wide variety of different-sized canvas pieces.

She said she sells her smaller pieces for just under $100, with her bigger pieces going for just over $1,000.

Even though the money she makes from her paint-ings isn’t enough to live on, she says that the profit can allow her to do some things that she may not have oth-erwise been able to do, such as paying to stay at a cabin in the mountains for a few days to paint a scene.

As a painter Metcalf said she enjoys the challenges of making a painting look realistic and believable, which is why she said she doesn’t paint abstract.

“If you do abstract, you don't need to worry about that, but I can't get my hand around painting abstract,” Metcalf said. “It's a visual thing: you see things, and when you paint for a while you start to notice a lot more and you try to inter-pret that into paintings. It's a self-fulfilling thing — the more you paint, the more you see things.”

During her time as a fea-ture artist, Metcalf said she hopes to convince people to preserve quiet places — a sentiment she feels strongly about.

“We should have some places that are left undevel-oped where people can go to restore,” Metcalf said. “I'm aware that there is less and less quiet time periods in people’s lives, and I think we need that. We need to keep a good balance in our lives and have time for con-templating and meditating. If my paintings of quiet places can convince people that this is good, that would be good.”

The following article and accompanying pictures were submitted by the Sylvan Lake and District Archives Society as part of a series celebrating the society’s 20 years of existence this year. The Archives Society is open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. at its new location in the lower level of the town’s Municipal Government Building.

The first service stations in Sylvan Lake were mainly built adjacent to Lakeshore Drive, which was then a section of Highway 11 (now 11A).

Joe Untinen built his first garage on the north-west corner of Lakeshore Drive and 50 Street in 1929 and named it the Lakeview Garage. It burned down on September 9, 1939, taking with it a stray dog which had attached himself to the staff and taken on the role of guarding the premises. They named him ‘Scout’ and when Joe rebuilt the garage, a plaque dedicated to Scout was hung on the wall.

Not only did Joe run a

Looking back at Sylvan Lake’s

earliest service stations

Not only did Joe run a

thriving business, but he was an active member of the community and was sadly missed upon his death in 1968 when the Lakeview Garage was sold. For a few years a Turbo Station oper-ated at that location. The lot is vacant in 2015.

The Balmoral Garage and Tea Room, on the northwest corner

of 46 Street and Lakeshore Drive, built in 1932 by Alex Robertson, sold British American (BA) gas and oil. Bob Brown pur-chased it in 1950. He oper-ated it as it was for a few years and then remodelled the service station, doing away with the Tea Room and adding a Coin Wash and Dry Cleaning service. Bob sold the business in 1974.

In the 1940s, Jack Goodey purchased a service station at the junction of Lakeshore Drive and Railway (50) Avenue on the east entrance to Sylvan Lake from Adam Dashner. This Texaco Station, Lakewood Garage, was owned and operated by Jack for over 20

years. In 1973, he sold it to Willard and Howard Wilde, who operated it until 1991. It is presently owned by Petro-Can.

Across the street on the north side of the highway was another service station. The first owner was Keith McAfee. Korny Hansen bought the service station from Bill Vincent in May of 1973 and owned it for a number of years. The family sold it in 1990 after Korny’s death in 1989. It is now a GTI station.

A few gas pumps appeared on 50 (Main) Street over the years, includ-ing Ken Wilkinson’s BA fuel business. German’s Imperial Oil sign appeared on Railway Avenue (on the site later occupied by the Town Office) as well. The Red Head Garage built by Gordon Keith on the north-west corner of 46 Street and Railway Avenue in 1946 was another busy service and changed hands several times before that corner was redeveloped as the Varsity Mall.
