Domino’s fundraiser to support co-worker, Community Partners

by Stuart FullartonSylvan Lake News

A local business is getting behind one of its employ-ees recently diagnosed with leukemia, and is inviting members of the community to lend their support.

A fundraiser hosted by Domino’s Pizza and Quiznos Sylvan Lake will take place at the Ryders Square park-ing lot Sunday from noon until 4 p.m.

Through a barbecue, pizza sales and games, funds raised at the event will support 24-year-old Evan McCune, who was diagnosed with leukemia in early July.

Domino’s and Quiznos general manager Deanna Chmait said all of her staff were eager to support McCune, whom she described as a “dedicated and beloved employee”.

“All of the staff members were devastated when he found out that he has this disease,” said Chmait. “We love him very much.”

Proceeds raised from the event will go beyond helping McCune cover expenses of his treatment. A portion will also be given to Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners Association, which is helping put on the fundraiser.

“We’re helping our fel-low co-worker, and we’re also going to help a com-munity support network that can help people in

similar situations,” said Chmait.Activities and games at the fundraiser will be

geared towards children and adults of all ages, and will include pin the tail to the Noid — Domino’s Pizza’s mascot character.

Children will have the opportunity to win various prizes by participating in games.

Also taking place will be a silent auction for which items are currently being sought.

Chmait is appealing for businesses and community members to donate to the auction. Items received so far range from cinema gift certificates to a free night in a hotel.

People may support the cause prior to the fund-raiser, by bringing monetary donations to either Domino’s or Quiznos in Sylvan Lake.

“Both of those places are accepting all donations, and we are giving out receipts for their donations,” said Chmait.

Businesses and community members interested in attending, helping at the fundraiser, or donating money or silent auction items, are asked to contact Chmait at Domino’s Pizza at 403-887-9981, or on her cell phone at 403-872-5936.

National jamboree was exciting

for Sylvan Scoutsby Stuart Fullarton

Sylvan Lake News

A month after thousands of Scouts from across Canada and the world converged on Camp Woods, memories of Canadian Scout Jamboree 2013 are still fresh in the minds of those who attended.

Among them are three Sylvan Lake residents, who, unlike some that attended, did not have to travel very far for the one-week event that wrapped up July 13.

Logan Manweiler, Daxton Bylsma and Jocelyn Mosset have all been involved with Scouting for several years, and were excited to have so many people from across Canada and the world visit their home camp of Camp Woods — even though it looked slightly different than nor-mal.

“They had to change it massively,” said Manweiler, 11. “It was way dif-ferent.”

In preparing for the onslaught of 6,500 Scouts, volunteers and leaders that attended the jamboree, organiz-ers ensured the camp site was capa-ble of hosting such a large number of visitors.

They essentially created a small city, complete with its own hospital, daily newspaper and security team.

Such infrastructure was necessary to ensure scouts remained fit and able to enjoy the wide variety of activities that took place throughout the week.

“They had lots of stuff, it was good,” said Manweiler, who enjoyed nightly concerts, the zipline, the rock wall and playing in the mud pit.

The mud pit was also a favourite for 13-year-old Mosset, while Bylsma, 11, preferred the camp’s water-related activities, such as canoeing.

“The water wasn’t really cold, so if you fell in, you weren’t cold,” he said.

Manweiler also felt water activi-ties were more enjoyable because of warmer tem-peratures.

“Usually Sylvan Lake is freezing, but over there it was really warm,” he said.

The jamboree gave Scouts the chance to meet other Scouts from across Canada, and around the world, from places as far away as Taiwan.

Mosset said she enjoyed trying to com-municate with Scouts who speak different lan-guages, and also meeting and talking with other Scouts from Alberta.

Some she spoke with mentioned the notice-able difference in the

appearance of Camp Woods, which, until the jamboree, had not held an event of that size before.

“Most of the (local) people that came up to me said that the whole camp had changed from last time they came out,” she said. “There’s a lot of trees, still, but it’s kind of spaced out.”

Additional space was needed to fit the thousands of tents that were set up throughout the camp site. Some patrols camped in wooded areas, while others found themselves in more open spaces.

With thousands of Scouts from different time zones gathered in one place, rest was not always easy, according to Mosset, who claimed she’s still catching up on sleep lost during the jamboree.

Restless Scouts chatting among one another late at night didn’t help matters, she added.

“We would just yell at them every night. One night we actually went over there and banged on their tent for them to shut up.”

Initially, 5,000 were expected to attend the jamboree. That number quickly rose to more than 6,500, meaning camping space was limited for some Scouts.

Yet, despite experiencing some of the hiccups that arise with having 6,500 people living in a considerably small area for a week, the jamboree was unforgettable for plenty of good reasons, assured the Sylvan Lake Scouts.

For all three of them, it was their first Scouting jamboree. Future simi-lar events being held in Newfoundland and Japan over the next few years now give them some-thing to look forward to, and are just some of the adventurous experiences for which Scouting is famous.

“(As a Scout) you get to go and do a bunch of different things,” said Bylsma. “You’re not just doing one thing.”

Baffled by scrub, laughter soon emerged, imagination sparkedby Treena Mielke

Black Press

I open the holiday trailer door and am instantly greet-ed by beauty.

Shards of soft golden sun pierce the green of morning and on a makeshift stove, coffee is perking.

I pause a moment to remember the last time I saw or heard coffee perking, but I can’t. It doesn’t matter.

I smell the freshly perked coffee and squint my eyes against the gentle shards of sunlight and it’s enough.

I’m happy! I love camping and the trees, the sun and the smell of freshly perked coffee.

And I love all of my grandchildren, even though

they eyed me with suspicion when later that morning I suggested we play scrub.

The suspicion was fueled by a generation gap wider than the Grand Canyon and kept alive by a new language spoken by these mysterious devices the kids carry with them always. I’m convinced they carry those things so they don’t have to carry on real, live conversations with people like grandmas.

I knew all that, but I also knew I had a mini baseball team within my grasp.

“Scrub? Grandma, do you even know what you are talking about?”

I ignored them.“Let’s go,” I said in my

grandma knows best voice.They reluctantly followed

me out to a clearing that I

saw at once had potential as a ball diamond. I grabbed the Frisbee. “This,” I said sternly, is no longer a Frisbee. This is home plate. And that tree over there. That is first base.”

I tried to explain how the game worked. “Everyone runs up and touches home plate and you yell out what position you are,” I said. “Batter, pitcher … whatev-er!”

They looked at me, baf-fled and I think, a little afraid. What was their crazy grandma up to now?

And that tree … definite-

ly that tree did not look like a first base!

Finally, I grabbed the yel-low plastic bat and stood by the Frisbee and said “really guys, it doesn’t matter. Just hit the ball. We’ll figure it out as we go along.”

As the sun illuminated the forest behind us with this kind of golden halo and their mom washed dishes on the picnic table in the distance, I was happy because I heard what I wanted to hear. It was the point of the whole game, really.

I heard them laugh. Excited, childish laughter. Gleeful laughter.

And I heard them yell!“You are out. I got you.

Run, Jackson run!”Okay, actually that was

me!

The game is over now and I am back at work, the kids are back with their parents and, no doubt, talking a lot of that social media type lan-guage that I don’t really get.

Oh well. For a brief moment in time, I got to go back to a time when a tree became first base, and a Frisbee or a board or a scrap of cardboard was home plate.

I hope when they become adults and it seems necessary for seriousness to take prece-dence over laughter, they will remember a day when the sun slanted through the trees just so and their grand-ma reminded them that imagination is the best gift ever, followed, of course, by laughter.

And I hope they smile! Maybe even chuckle!

Water: it’s what we should strive to be like, according to famed martial artist Bruce Lee.

Lee was a big fan of water’s ability to adapt to any form, as well as its seemingly contra-dictory qualities: it “can flow or it can crash” according to the late actor.

That destructive, crashing quality isn’t exclusive to ocean waves. We saw proof of how unforgiving even lake water can be last week after three men were pulled out of Calling Lake, their boat cap-sized and their strength nearly spent. The sobering thought of four people killed in the southern Alberta floods earli-er this summer is still fresh in our minds, to say nothing of well-publicized drowning deaths throughout the prov-ince in recent weeks — a three-year-old in Mink Lake, a 26-year-old in Sylvan Lake and an 11-year-old in Mahogany Lake.

But last week, we also saw proof of how paradoxically fragile water can be. Blue-green algae advisories have been issued for three local lakes — Baptiste, Cross, and Calling Lakes — and although it’s a sight to which many of us have grown accustomed, there’s little that’s natural about it. Yes, Alberta soil is naturally high in phosphorous (a key ingredient for blue-green algae blooms). And yes, blue-green algae predate the human activity that’s credited with worsening the blooms. The algae (actually, cyanobac-

Be like water, my friend — and think about water, tooteria if you want to get techni-cal) even predate humans themselves. Still, there’s no doubt that human actions, from the fertilizers we use on our prized petunias to the dog feces we neglect to scoop from the beach, have increased phosphorous levels in lakes. This makes lakes more hospi-table for the toxin-excreting blue-green algae that can poi-

son humans and wildlife and suffocate fish.

Lakes, whatever we imag-ine they conceal in their depths, have no arsenal to deal with something as seemingly benign as a fertilized lawn that runs right down to the water.

Those who live near affect-ed lakes and scientists who have studied the water agree that the algae blooms seem to

be getting worse. Yet represen-tatives from Alberta Health Services and Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources, when asked, said neither body has tracked trends in the frequency and severity of blooms across the province or region by region.

Perhaps it is time to con-sider a provincial lake man-agement strategy — some-

thing the provincial govern-ment says it is willing to look at. At the very least, we need better enforcement of bylaws pertaining to activities near or on lakes. Because it is not enough to be like water in an esoteric sense: we need to think about water in the real world and respect both its power and fragility.

69 years ago ...From the issue of August 9, 1944

The 1944 Alberta election is over. The Social Credit government has been returned with an increased majority in the legislature, and the bid for office made by the C.C.F. was very definitely rejected.

In the Rocky Mountain House con-

stituency Hon. A. J. Hooke, provincial secretary, (S.C.) was returned to office, nearly doubling the vote cast for his two opponents George Morrison, C.C.F., and Victor Johanson, Farmer-Labour.

Sylvan Lake poll went:— A. J. Hooke 251; George Morrison 61; Victor Johanson 41.

♦ ♦ ♦

On July 23, 1944, the First Canadian Army became operations in France. This is the first time in history that Canada has had a full-fledged army in operation in the field, with an all-Canadian headquarters.

♦ ♦ ♦

A swimming gala, sponsored by Sylvan Lake Service Club, August 16 will take place inside the breakwater and a well varied program provides

events for all. There are races for boys and girls, men and women, diving, canoe tilting, greasy pole, diving for golf balls and a featured half-mile open race for men and women for the Sylvan Lake Hotel Cup and the H. N. Fisher Cup.

50 years ago ...From the issue of August 15, 1963A full agenda faced the town coun-

cil at the regular meeting Monday evening and the delegations left little time for new business. As a result the meeting adjourned at 1:30 a.m. to reconvene Tuesday evening.

Ratepayers attending the meeting asked for a culvert to be moved, grav-el, adjustment to business and proper-ty taxes, and queried width of drive-way allowed for drive-in restaurant.

A delegation from the Curling Club attended the meeting to task that the roof to the rink be repaired before arti-ficial ice is installed. They also pre-sented the price for installation of con-crete floor over the pipes of the ice plant.

A price of $3,400 was presented to the council for repair of the roof using rubber roofing, coated with alumi-num. It was felt that this was too expensive for the present time and it was decided to recover the roof with rubberoid roofing volunteer labour from the curling club.

Cost of the concrete floor would be $6,400. It was felt that this should be done at the time piping is installed as cost at a later date would be consider-ably higher due to work that would have to be done over.

Town council, here’s a million dollar savingDear Editor,

I noted in Sylvan Lake coun-cil’s wish list that they want to spend $1.5 million for a aerial fire truck — it took me two min-utes to find a brand new fire truck that has 5,000 miles on it and the seller is a town that has to downsize its dreams.

The truck is fully certified and ready to go — a 2005 American Lafrance 110 foot aerial quint fire truck. Me personally I am the kind of guy that likes my money in the bank instead of on the drive-way.

That’s my contribu-tion to the town today — I just saved the town $1,150,000. The asking price for this new truck is $380,000.

My God people of sylvan lake — stop to think for a few minutes — the town is dancing with destruction — fis-cal suicide.

We do not need a $2 million parade float. In regards to the request on the agenda for a sidewalk along Lakeshore Drive, the proposed solution may be a $500,000 project that could just as easily be done for $10,000. The roadway needs repainting — repaint and call it a pedestrian/bicycle lane. Put up signs, please don’t spend millions more on crazy ideas.

Please also consider this. The town had a

cash surplus of almost $7 mil-lion prior to the spending spree. It now stands in debt with between $22 million and $8.5 million depending on which news source you fol-low.

That’s a pile of money for a town of 13,000 to spend on a town hall and a park with no sidewalks from the marina west, yes that’s quite the promenade. I watch people walking a 16 inch wide strip of concrete beside a

six foot wide flower garden. Who plans this??

Annual tour - A procession of motorcyclists including members of Hells Angels, Malicious Crew and other gangs, who were sporting affiliations on their backs, arrived in Sylvan Lake just before 1 p.m. Saturday on an annual tour of Central Alberta. There was a strong police presence in town but no problems were reported. From Sylvan they continued to Eckville, then Bentley and on to Clive. One person commenting on the News’ Facebook page about the Eckville visit wrote, “it was awesome to see all the bikes lining up main street.” STEVE DILLS

When will common sense prevail?

Dear Editor,The countless and continuing changes over the past

22 months at the intersection of highways 781/11 and highways 11/20 seem to indicate that maybe Alberta Transportation and the “experts”” (Castleglenn Consulting of Calgary) are not so “expert”.

The endless and massive amount of cash being thrown at these 2 intersections could be better spent on Highway 63 where people die monthly.

Currently at the highways 781/11 intersection all that the public has is two very poorly marked curbs run-ning down the centre of the highway. The majority of the time the signs are laying flat because they have been run over.

The public has also lost the turning lane on Highway 11 when turning south onto Highway 781 — this brings all eastbound traffic nearly to a screeching halt to allow traffic to turn south.

This intersection is currently overgrown, with nearly four foot high weeds obstructing driver sight line.

We continue to have restricted and unsafe access for emergency response crews required south on the Highway 781 corridor for emergencies.

All of this has been done to avoid installing one set of traffic control lights at 781/11. How many light stan-dards are currently at the Hwy 11/20 intersection? How much taxpayer money has been spent there? (Wait for the icy mess this winter, as the east ditch drains west across the intersection).

When will common sense prevail? Concerned taxpayer,

Ken Somerville,Sylvan Lake

P.S. GPS units are continually sending tourists with trailers north and south through the intersection, also there is still no signage on 50th St. directing tourists on how to get to Innisfail and Calgary. (Elections are com-ing soon.)

ed state. Further investigation

revealed that the window at Bamboo Hut was smashed. Both males are charged with mis-chief under $5,000.

Anyone who observes indi-viduals in the process of checking vehicles is asked to contact RCMP at 403-887-3333 or 911 where appropriate.

Thursday, August 8th 7:19 a.m. – An investigation is underway

into a recent rash of vehicle thefts in Sylvan Lake and Eckville. The first incident involved a Ford truck which was stolen from the Edgewater Inn in Sylvan Lake on Aug. 3rd.

Educational tools like Floyd important in engaging patients

“Floyd” is the skeleton affectionately named by the physiotherapy staff at Sylvan Lake Community Health Centre. “Riding” a stationary bike used by patients for rehabilitative physiotherapy, Floyd is a valuable educational resource, helping patients learn how various parts of the body are connected and better understand their type of injury. BEV LOVEN

by Kerri RobinsSpecial to Sylvan Lake News

The good folks in the physiotherapy depart-ment at Sylvan Lake Community Health Centre, don’t mind “Floyd” hanging around. In fact, they’re quite used to him — he’s very quiet, but keeps a watchful ‘eye socket’ over the department.

Floyd is an artificial articulated skeleton — meaning the head, neck, torso and limbs are con-nected in a way that allows movement between different body parts in order to demonstrate how they work.

Suffering from sports-related injuries and arthritis in her back and neck, Carol McMillan was a patient at the health centre physiotherapy department for about two years and wanted to “pay forward” on the great treatment she received.

“The physical therapists and staff made my visits and treatment successful,” said McMillan.

“They explained my treatments thoroughly and it just felt right donating funds to David Thompson Health Trust for the purchase of the skeleton for education.”

And therapists have found Floyd is a valuable educational tool.

“We use the skeleton a lot and it really helps our clients understand their treatment program and set realistic, achievable goals for their recovery,” said Bev Loven, physical therapist at the health centre.

An excellent visual, Floyd helps clients see how the body works and how their injuries affect them. On Floyd’s left side, markings show where muscles are attached and his right shoulder, hip and knee

demonstrate the inner workings of tendons, liga-ments and menisci (cartilage disks in some areas of the body that act as cushions between the ends

Back by popular demand “The Poplar Grove Ladies Club”by Sharon Lightbown

Special to Sylvan Lake News

“The Poplar Grove Ladies Club” is again going to be performed as a major fundraiser for Dickson Store Museum Society after last year’s successful debut.

After the performance, the museum received requests to do the play again. At the annual meet-ing in February, society membership voted to proceed with two more performances.

They will include a dinner theatre the evening of Friday, Nov. 29 and a dessert theatre Saturday afternoon, Nov. 30 at Spruce View Hall.

The theme of the play is traditions and the decline of service clubs. It is also about a commu-nity working together and respecting one another.

Written by written by local playwright Laurie Hodges Humble, “The Poplar Grove Ladies Club” could be any club in any com-munity. Volunteer organizations all around us are strug-gling to find enough help to do the projects that such clubs have traditionally done.

A short synopsis by the playwright states

that “sometimes all it takes is a change in perspec-tive to preserve a cultural tradition”. The story is written with a comedic flair with many elements that we can all relate to and it will end with a good old-fashioned Christmas Pageant. It was enjoyed by all who attended regardless of gender or age.

One lady said, “I really had my doubts about this production when I bought my ticket but it was excellent, way beyond what I ever imagined”.

Once again the broader community will be involved in production and development of the play. By using local assets and diversity, Dickson Store Museum will once again demonstrate a com-mitment to being a pivotal element in the com-munity.

of bones that meet joints — for example, knees).

Floyd doesn’t “work” alone. Across the room from him sits a physiotherapy bike also used in reha-bilitation.

A stationary bike that self-charges through pedalling, it’s used in a vari-ety of treatments to aid the recovery process. While the bike is not used in every case, it’s instrumental in help-ing patients heal.

Clients recovering from injuries such as fractures, knee and back surgeries, or hip replacements, benefit from the bike through strength-training and regaining range of motion.

Many patients start off just rocking the pedals back forth to gain mobility and work up to full revolutions.

Like Floyd, the physiotherapy bike was donated to David Thompson Health Trust.

Corrie Fortner, executive director for the health trust, is pleased with the dona-tions and the benefits Floyd and the bike pro-vide.

“It’s nice to see our donations at work,” said Fortner.

“Educational tools like Floyd are important in helping engage patients in their rehabilitation and the bike is invaluable in patients’ recovery pro-grams.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS

Red Deer County on board with lake access studyby Stuart Fullarton

Sylvan Lake News

Red Deer County councillors unanimously agreed to participate in a Regional Collaboration Grant application to fund a study considering the implications of the construction of a formal boat launch at Range Road 2-1 at Sylvan Lake.

They adopted the resolution during their regular meeting Aug. 6.

Administration will now forward notice of the resolution to Lacombe County, which is act-ing as the host authority in applying for the grant.

Sylvan Lake Access Committee, made up of representatives from municipalities surrounding Sylvan Lake, met at the Lacombe County office July 4 to discuss the issue of lake access at Range Road 2-1.

Through the meeting, it was determined that

a study would be necessary to evaluate the potential for the site to be used as a boat launch. The study will also consider management of lake access at other points around the lake, and address the issue of lake access in the future.

Lacombe County will proceed with the appli-cation for the grant once each of the lake’s sur-rounding municipalities has agreed to partici-pate.

Reactions varied widely to Red Deer County’s

proposal earlier this year to close the road at Range Road 2-1 due to concerns of the site’s “misuse and abuse”.

“Council was trying to find a solution to that road, because there’s concern that you can drive right into the lake,” said Red Deer County legis-lative services manager Nancy Lougheed. “We were looking to close it to vehicle traffic so that just foot access would be provided, and that’s done by way of road closure.”

HONESTLY EXAMINE YOUR MOTIVESBy David BergBenalto Baptist Church

I was never really a rebellious kid, but I didn’t always think before I acted. Like the time we were vacationing on Salt Spring Island and had gone to a small lake to swim and cool off. My family had one pair of ippers that all ve kids were taking turns using. When it was my turn I started swimming around, fascinated by how much stronger I could swim with the ippers. I noticed on the far side of the lake, I don’t think it was more than 150-200 yards away, a small oating dock. I thought to myself, “hey, I bet I could swim across this lake.”

My cousins were with us and so with the ve of them and ve of us there was a lot of splashing and chaos, so it wasn’t a

lack of attention on my parents part, but you can imagine my folk’s reaction when they realized I was more than half way to the other side. I certainly didn’t need to imagine what their reaction might be. When they managed to get my attention I was told in no uncertain terms I was to get to the dock and stay there till Dad walked around the lake to get me.

On the walk back Dad justi ably suggested I had used this as a means of extending my turn with the ippers, but I honestly had no intentionally devious motives, I simply had never swum across a lake before and wanted to see if I could do it. However, I had pursued what I wanted without any consideration for anyone else, particularly my parents.

That’s a natural inclination for most of us, including the way we relate to God. How often do we set our plans and make our decisions based on our own assessment of what we want to see, or think should happen in our lives. But we need to learn how to acknowledge the sovereignty of God in our lives, even in the small, daily, mundane things.

One of the things that has helped me to live this way more consistently is to honestly examine my motives. Is the particular decision or course of action coming from a desire for self-ful lment or from a desire for Jesus? But let me caution you, I’ve found I need to be ruthless in assessing my motives. Like swimming across the lake, it’s easy to rationalize and justify, and wrap it all up in noble sounding motives, but really I just wanted to do my own thing.

With about 8,000 people attend-ing the sixth annual Shake the Lake over the weekend, festival co-ordina-tor Sean McIntyre is branding the event a major success once again.

“I think we found our perfect location,” he said, referring to the festival’s new site at the corner of 50th Street and Lakeshore Drive.

“We loved it down there, and hav-ing the music basically fill the beach as well as where we were was pretty special.”

Eleven musical acts from across Canada performed on the festival’s stage Friday night and Saturday. A skateboarding competition also took place at that site, before the festival moved exclusively to the multiplex Sunday for a BMX competition.

The format was new for the festi-val, and McIntyre is pleased to have seen so many people taking in events over all three days.

“The site down there was really nice for us,” he said. “Because it was already fenced, that helped us out a lot, and the grass was great for the

spectators, for the music.“We weren’t sure how BMX was

going to fare on its own, but it was great. There were times when the stands were just about full, which means we’ve got around 1,000 people in the room.”

Co-operation from local busi-nesses near the festival site was key to the success, said McIntyre. As were the many volunteers who dedi-cated their time, skills and effort to ensuring things ran smoothly.

“Quality people produce quality work, and we can credit the success of the festival to the people who are volunteering to make it happen,” he said. “As far as volunteers go, they’re passionate about it, and I think that really reflects in their work.

“We’ve got some really key people in some really key places.”

McIntyre also spoke of his delight at being able to work with members of his family, who he said have made “many sacrifices” in ensuring the festival’s success over the years.

One of the nice things about the festival’s new location, he added, was its ability to reach people beyond the

Three calls on SaturdayFireResponseSpecial toSylvan Lake News

by Steve DillsSylvan Lake News

A 42 year old Red Deer man died after “going into medical distress” while swimming near a boat in Sylvan Lake Saturday afternoon.

Sylvan Lake firefighters were initially called for a water rescue about 1:30 p.m. but witnesses who noticed the man slip below the surface were able to pull him from the water and perform CPR while bringing him to the landfill pier where first responders from the fire department, Associated Ambulance and RCMP were waiting.

The man was transported by ambulance to Red Deer Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead, reported RCMP Cpl. Mike Purse.

A cause of death is not known at this time, but the death is not considered suspicious, he indi-cated.

“Medical distress” linked to death of man pulled from water

Extinguished - Sylvan Lake firefighters were called out about 3:20 a.m. last Friday to a truck on fire beside a house in the 4700 block of 47th Street. They quickly extinguished the blaze in the truck which was parked in a driveway. No inju-ries were reported. Heat melted siding of homes on both sides of the driveway but there was no struc-tural damage, according to Deputy Fire Chief Steve Scanland. Cause of the fire is undetermined. STEVE DILLS

Minor damage - Sylvan Lake firefighters were called to a house fire at 85 Rozier Close just after 9 a.m. Tuesday morning.

FOR SYLVAN LAKE

Continued from page 10fence and on the beach.

While about 8,000 people are estimated to have attended the fes-tival, he feels there were thousands more on the beach who also enjoyed its music.

“We had some of our staff circu-lating the beach area, and people were loving it just as much down there as they were up at the festival,” he said. “More people were enjoy-

ing it than we even knew about.”McIntyre admitted that not

everyone in Sylvan Lake likes the noise created by the festival. He feels the new location, however, limited the impact of noise on resi-dential areas.

“I think that that lot down there was very suitable for what we want to do,” he said.

“That’s not to say that people couldn’t hear the music in their

houses, but we were in a more com-mercial area.”

The wide variety of different types of people who attended Shake the Lake fulfilled the festival’s vision of having something for everyone, he added.

Musicians who performed at the festival also varied in sound, style and genre.

For Edmonton’s From Love to Forfeit, it was the second time per-

forming at the festival, having first played in 2010.

Vocalist Ash Militsala welcomed the opportunity to return to the outdoor family-friendly festival.

“We’re pop music, we love to make people smile and just have a good time, so this kind of setting we fit in really well,” he said. “I love doing shows outside, and I love the whole summer vibe. I’m totally for that.”

For McIntyre and his group of volunteers, rest following the festi-val’s completion will be short lived. Planning for Shake the Lake 2014 is already underway, and the event, as usual, will be “bigger and better,” he said.

“We don’t know what that looks like yet, but we’re working on some-thing. We’re really glad to have found a suitable location for the festival.”

Skateboarders made use of the occasion to show off some of their finest tricks.

and pharmaceutical industries thrive. “We’re among the world’s 15 richest countries in terms of GDP (gross domestic product).”

Each of the travellers talked about the communities they came from and showed pictures of their residences and scenery in their areas.

Boo Ostling encour-aged Sylvan Lake Rotarians to get involved in Rotary Friendship Exchanges. “They open our eyes to the world. One thing that Rotary does is open the hand of friendship to those around the world.”

Joining Rotarians at

lunch Friday were dignitaries MLA Kerry Towle, Mayor Susan Samson and RCMP Cst. Mike Arnason in his red serge uni-form. He was much appreciated by the guests who posed for pictures with him.

Hosts for the Swedish guests while in Sylvan Lake were Victor and Thelma Maris, Nadine Coyne and Dale and Bonnie Ganske. This group was also instrumental in planning the itinerary.

Members of the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake learned lots about Sweden when they hosted a Rotary Friendship Exchange tour from the Scandinavian country last week.

The contingent of eight people visited a club in Canmore, touring that area, before coming to Sylvan Lake. From here they went to Calgary and then Lethbridge.

Sylvan Lake Rotarians billeted the group and showed them around Central Alberta, exploring some places even they hadn’t visited before.

The itinerary included lunch at Cronquist House in Red Deer last Wednesday, a tour of Sylvan Star Cheese, a cruise on the lake by Sylvan Cruises, a tour of a training oil drill-ing rig at Nabors Production Services, a tour and lunch at Leedale Hutterite Colony, lunch with Rotarians at noon last Friday, fol-lowed by a walking tour of the down-town area guided by historian Michael Dawe and a farewell dinner at Hockey Central’s Sports Bar & Grill last Friday evening. The follow-

ing day the group departed for Calgary.

At Friday’s Rotary meeting, Marley Westerburgen, of Hallefors-Grythyttan, narrated a powerpoint presentation, Getting to Know Sweden. Their Rotary district, #2340, encompasses 54 clubs in an area 100 kilometres from Stockholm west to the Norwegian border.

“Sweden is very much like Canada, just higher (in latitude) than Canada,” she said. It’s the third larg-est country in Europe, spanning 1,500 kilometres north to south and 500 kilometres west to east.

Interestingly, Westerburgen said, it’s tranformed itself from an agrari-an economy to a sophisticated indus-trial nation.

All education up to university is free. Everything for children is free, buses, meals. Medical and dental care is free to 16 years of age.

“Our social services are really well developed,” she said. “It’s often called the world’s most generous social wel-fare system.”

Sweden is rich in reserves of iron ore, timber and has plentiful hydro-electric power.

Cakes designed to look like Canadian flags were prominent during the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake’s meet-ing last Friday when they hosted dignitaries and guests from Sweden who were on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. Joining Rotarians for their meeting were Mayor Susan Samson, Jean-Pierre Grosvenier, Ingrid Grosvenier, Erik Berger, Marly Westerburgen, Karin Walegren, Sylvan Lake RCMP Cst. Mike Arnason, Kjell Walegren, Maj Sandberg, Boo Ostling and MLA Kerry Towle.

2013 FLOOD RECOVERY


During their regular meeting July 22, Sylvan Lake councillors:

• passed first reading of a bylaw required to redesignate the future fire hall site from commercial land to pub-lic/institutional land, and set August 26 as the date for a public hearing on the matter.

• passed first reading of a bylaw to create a variety of designations for land in the Crestview subdivision. Through the bylaw, lots will be zoned for medi-um lot residential, high density resi-

dential, narrow lot general residential, narrow lot duplex residential, neigh-bourhood convenience commercial and public facility uses. A public hear-ing on the bylaw was set for August 26.

Councillors also accepted the Crestview Outline Plan for informa-tion. The plan indicates a switch in phases two and three of the subdivi-sion so that the second phase of devel-opment would take place just east of 50th Street rather than on the extreme east side of the quarter section.

The plan will be presented to coun-cil for acceptance after the public hear-ing.

• appointed Reuben Mulholland,

Andy Roy, Jarvis Gamroth and Dave Kyllo as bylaw enforcement officers for the town under provisions of the Town of Sylvan Lake Bylaw Enforcement Officers Bylaw. Nick Reijnen was appointed as chief bylaw enforcement officer.

They have the power to enforce traffic, community standards, trans-portation of dangerous goods and heavy vehicles, dog, cat, election sign, land use, drinking establishment licensing, smoke free and fire protec-tion bylaws.

• appointed Jim deBoon, Denai deBoon and Rebekah Bauer as bylaw enforcement officers to enforce dog

and cat bylaws under provisions of the same bylaw.

• appointed Reuben Mulholland, Andy Roy, Shelby Reid and Art Preachuk as 2013 municipal weed inspectors for the town. The appoint-ments are necessary for compliance to the Alberta Weed Control Act, wrote Reijnen, manager of municipal enforcement, in his report to council.

• accepted the Communication Strategy Project Plan update for infor-mation. The project indicates how the town will “implement key components of the Sylvan Lake Corporate Communications Strategy”, according to the document prepared by Joanne

Gaudet. Various activities will require budget consideration in the 2014 bud-get discussion process, the report stat-ed.

• heard from Betty Osmond, the town’s chief administrative officer, that Canada Day fireworks have been rescheduled to September 1st at the pier “as a Farewell to Summer”.

In a wide ranging report she also reported Highway 11 and 20 turn lanes have been opened, new lane markings are painted.

The move into the new town hall is planned for August 16 with the build-ing open to the public on August 19.

There is no age limit on the thrill of competi-tion, the excitement of winning and the golden opportunity of making strangers into friends.

Just ask Allen Elliott, an 80-something volun-teer handibus driver in Rimbey.

Elliott recently returned from the 55 Plus 2013 Summer Games sporting a gold medal in shot put, silver medals in javelin and discus and a bronze in 100 metre.

Elliott looks years younger than his chrono-logical age and is as proud as punch about his medal wins. However, he stressed, winning isn’t everything.

“Participating — that’s what it’s about. If you’re there and you’re participating, that’s the main thing. Anytime you’re active, especially if you’re a senior, that’s a good thing.”

Elliott did not let his artificial knees keep him from competing in the 100 metre run.

“I took off in the race and I noticed there were only two people ahead of me. I decided then that I’d better start taking the race more seriously,” he said with a smile.

A knee replacement certainly didn’t keep Elliott out of the race, nor does his age keep him from staying active and helping others. As well as being a volunteer driver for the Rimbey Handi Van, Elliott helps operate Serenity Pet Shelter on his farm located south of Rimbey.

(He received a Helping Hands award at Sylvan Lake’s Volunteer Impact Gala in April for his work with Serenity Pet Shelter Society.)

“We live in a wonderful world and we need to be the best we can possibly be,” he said.

Elliott began attending the senior games in 1998. At that time he lived near Sylvan Lake and was on a slo-pitch team made up of players in the Bentley area. However, the team quit entering the senior games when they reached the over 70-age

category. Elliott, however, continued to enter, competing in other track and field events. Over the years, he has usually brought home a collec-tion of medals, but insists the Games are about so much more than winning.

“The camaraderie; that’s number one,” he said. “You meet some wonderful people there. And the whole program at the Games is just wonderful.”

Elliott is hopeful two of his daughters whom he says are athletic will eventually attend the senior games with him.

“We’ll see. I’m going to work on it. It’s a dream that I would like to see happen.”

The Alberta 55 Plus Games held in Barrhead and Westlock from July 25 to 28, included more than 1,000 participants and 800 volunteers.

The Games provide a venue for Albertans 55 years of age and older to pursue greater levels of physical, social, intellectual and creative achieve-ment through friendly competition and participa-tion.

Elliott captured medals in senior games competition

It’s a tough pill to swallow.After their best season ever, Central

Alberta Buccaneers’ hopes for an Alberta Football League championship title came to a grinding halt when they lost 15-3 to St. Albert Stars on Sunday.

Head Coach Duane Brown said the Buccs weakness in this game was one they have struggled with all season.

“Our Achilles’ heel was the same Achilles’ heel we have had all year — our inconsistent offense,” said Brown. “We couldn’t get any movement and when we did we turned around and shot ourselves in the foot with a turnover, with a fumble, or with a penalty.”

Brown’s comments pretty much sum up how the game went. While the Buccs were ahead in the first half, they failed to gain any momentum and ended the half only three points ahead of the scoreless Stars.

Whenever the Buccs got their hands on the ball in the second half, they began a slow and steady march up the field towards the end zone, but each time they got close, some kind of mistake turned the tides against them.

It was those mistakes that ultimately cost the Buccaneers the game and their shot at an Alberta Football League cham-pionship, said Brown. He said that the Buccs should have built of the lead they had at the end of the first half. Unfortunately things don’t always work out the way you want.

“The first we were in the lead, the second half we should have dominated,” said Brown. “They took it to us in the second half. Hats off to them, they played a hell of a game.”

There were no surprises from the Stars on Sunday, said Brown, they just came out and played hard.

“They did absolutely nothing different than what we expected them to do,” said Brown. He added that the difference was the Stars’ execution. While the Stars were following their game plan, errors on the Buccs part ended up costing them yards and thereby points as well.

“When you have guys make silly mis-takes, it costs them,” said Brown.

While the Buccs defensive line was solid as always, they can’t stop every sin-gle play they face. Any team can capitalize on a lucky break and Brown said that is exactly what happened on the Stars scor-ing plays.

“Like it was all season long, our defense was the heart and soul of this team today,” said Brown. “Our inconsis-tent offence was the backbreaker.”

Not only did the Buccs play a spec-tacular defensive game, the Stars also stepped up their defensive performance since the last time they visited Lacombe. Brown said that the combination of an inconsistent Stars contributed greatly to the Buccanneers loss.

“It was just one of those days where the head didn’t follow the heart,” said Brown.

Looking forward to next season, Brown said he foresees a lot of turnover within the team. He said it is unfortunate the team will be losing some of its veter-ans, but the team is aging and many play-ers who have been playing for a decade or more can’t play forever.

Brown added that there was also some great new talent that rose from within the Buccs’ ranks this season. He said he is confident that they can continue to build a solid team around younger players that have shown great promise this season.

Stars left Buccs dazed in semi-fi nal

Central Alberta Buccaneer Matt Merkley faced a pile of St. Albert Stars players as he tried to start a run to the end zone during Sunday’s Alberta Football League semi-final. The Buccs finished their season with a 15-3 loss. Merkley is one of several former H. J. Cody Lakers of the roster of the Buccaneers this season.
