ous choice to lead such talks, according to Bethany recreation assistant Stephanie Schwartz.

“(Ammeter) had mentioned that she was born here, and that she had all these fantastic stories accumulating in a book, and we thought, wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could talk to the residents about it,” said Schwartz.

Since those discussions, Ammeter has met with residents monthly to chat about anything and everything Sylvan Lake. Some of the stories she

relays come from the memoirs she’s writing for her grandchildren; others simply arise out of the back-and-forth dialogue she shares with the residents — many of whom, like Ammeter, are longtime Sylvan Lakers.

“They connect well with her stories,” said Schwartz. “They actually remember a lot of the people she talks about, and they remember a lot of the places that she talks about.”

At the beginning of the program, Ammeter was asked to come in and talk with residents for 15 to 30 minutes. She initially feared not being able to fill that time.

Last Friday’s session, which, like others before it, ran closer to an hour, showed how well received the pro-gram has become.

“You would think I could run out of stories every week, and it could get kind of bor-ing, but there’s new people all the time,” said Ammeter. “I like to engage the people, and when I got started, I said, tell me a bit about yourself, where you came from and why did you move here.

“I don’t want them to be just a face, I want to know a bit about them.”

Often, introductions between Ammeter and new attendees lead to discussions about com-mon acquaintances. Those discussions, in turn, help dictate the flow of the remainder of the session.

“Sometimes, I haven’t got a clue how it’s going to go,” said Ammeter. “I don’t take hours to plan some-thing to read — that doesn’t sit right with me. “(Instead), I want to engage the people and let it flow.”

Ammeter said each session she hosts is just as enjoyable for her as it is for the residents.

And with the num-ber of longtime Sylvan Lake residents dwin-dling, preserving pre-cious town memories, she feels, has become more important — but also more enjoyable — than ever before.

“I (know) other peo-ple that maybe grew up here, but they don’t talk about it,” she said. “I just love to tell the sto-ries. It’s a very enjoy-able experience for me.”

Certain Friday afternoons have become a highlight for a group of Bethany Sylvan Lake residents recently. One Friday a month, they spend an hour in the afternoon shar-ing fond Sylvan Lake memories with Pat Ammeter — one of the town’s

long-time residents.Ammeter has been involved with

Bethany as a pianist in the care cen-tre’s Hymn Sing group, and several months ago talked with staff about returning for regular visits to talk about Sylvan Lake’s past.

BY STEVE DILLSSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A local military buff has asked the town to partner with his organization to create a unique “Military Interest and Learning Centre”.

Allan Cameron, CEO and executive pro-ducer of Veterans Voices of Canada, asked the town to provide a building, “basically four walls and a roof” for a 2,500 to 3,000 square foot militarily historical and educa-tional facility.

“Although assistance would be appreciat-ed in many ways, Veterans Voices of Canada will provide all inner workings of the facili-ty,” Cameron said.

The Veterans Voices of Canada Military

Interest and Learning Centre would be mostly operated by volunteers, veterans and youth. An interactive facility, it would include such things as a static and changing visual display of military relics; a viewing theatre (to seat 30-35 people) that would show historic and educational veteran inter-views, documentaries and movies; a ‘reflect-ing room’ where pieces of artwork produced by youth and artists across Canada and around the world would be viewed to under-stand even more the effect of conflict on our society; and an area where ‘drop-in’ veteran interviews could take place.

“As a military memorabilia collector myself, I have accumulated, over many years, a collection of memorabilia that I feel must be displayed,” said Cameron. “Along with

that, I have contacted many of my collector friends and their sources who have amazing collections. They all feel this is a great idea and all are willing to add to a static and cycled display that would change … on a monthly basis.”

He noted there are similar facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, but nothing in Central Alberta.

Encouraging youth to volunteer and take part in activities and learn about our history would be appealing, he believes.

The mission of Veterans Voices of Canada, which is based in Sylvan Lake, is to do on-camera documentation of veterans to be donated to schools, museums and librar-ies, as well as donated to the family as a keepsake.

Over 800 veterans’ stories have been doc-umented so far through the non-profit orga-nization’s efforts. Through social media and an internet website they also spread the sto-ries.

Cameron said documentation and pres-ervation of our Canadian military history is vitally important for us as Canadians to know exactly what our military veterans did, and what they sacrificed for us to keep the freedoms we enjoy today.

He feels the facility would be another great addition to the town, complementing other tourist attractions.

As with other presentations from delega-tions, councillors deferred discussion on the proposal until a report has been prepared by staff with options and recommendations.

Cameron proposes partnership with town to create military facility

Charged - A distracted driving charge was laid following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 11A about three kilometres east of Sylvan Lake last Friday morning. RCMP say both vehicles involved were heading westbound when the one in front slowed to turn left and was hit by the vehicle behind. Several people were taken to hospital with unspecified injuries. STUART FULLARTON


The town’s water reservoirs are now full, having been replenished over the past week, and outdoor watering restrictions were lifted Monday morning.

Residents are still expected to follow mandatory water conservation practices which see those with an odd number house address watering on odd number days and even number addresses on even number days.

“No one may water their yards or use excessive amounts of water for unnecessary activities between noon and 7 p.m. any day of the week,” said a media release from Joanne Gaudet, the town’s communi-cation officer.

At their meeting July 14, Sylvan Lake councillors were told the town’s water wells are licensed with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for daily and annual withdrawal amounts.

“The current water license amount is 1,960,500 cubic metres per year (5,371 cubic metres per day),” according to the report by David Brand, Director of Public Works. Prior to the water ban, the town was using more water from the supply than it was able to replenish. Water usage during that peri-od was estimated at 6,500 to 7,000 cubic metres per day.

Historically, previ-ous peak summer usage had been recognized at 5,430 cubic metres per

day in 2008 with a population of 11,373 and 5,451 cubic metres per day in 2012 with a population of 12,671.

Last year’s census pegged the population at 13,015. However a story announcing the popula-tion said there was a potential discrepancy of 600-700 residents since two condominium and apart-ment complexes couldn’t be counted.

Brand’s report provided questions and answers about the town’s water system.

It indicated the town is currently “licensed for water wells that serve an equivalent population of roughly 18,000 based on average water usage. Our supply is finite. During periods of high usage or increased population within the town, the supply is strained. The town is currently undertaking a water well study looking for new water well locations.”

The report also indicated the capital plan includes provisions for creation of additional reser-voir capacity to “service peak usage and accommo-date future growth”.

For prevention give us a call.

Mostly sunny, sunny, very warm, clouds and sunshine, times of sun and clouds. Those are some of the expletives used by accuweather.com to describe the next week or so of hot weather headed our way.

Perfect weather for growth of a toxic plant which could render our lake unusable. It feeds on the cocktail of chemicals which seep into our lake from surrounding properties.

The last stretch of blistering warmth prompted a string of warnings from Alberta Health Services (AHS) about blue-green algae blooms. So far this year advisories have been issued for 18 Alberta lakes; ten in the north zone, one in the Edmonton zone (Lake Isle), four in the Central zone (Wizard Lake, Pine Lake, Coal Lake, Pigeon Lake), and three in the Calgary zone. (http://www.albertahealthservices.ca/1926.asp)

Do not drink water, do not swim or wade, avoid contact, do not feed fish from these lake to your pets, limit your own consumption of fish from these lakes. Those are the warnings.

“Blue-green algae can produce a toxin (poison) that can cause serious illness to animals or humans who drink or have skin contact with water containing this toxin,” warns AHS.

Just five days before the advisory for Pigeon Lake, the Summer Village of Grandview, on the lake’s south shore “became the first Alberta municipality to pass a bylaw banning the use of

lawn fertilizers and herbicides within its municipal boundar-ies.

“Council members based their decision on widespread agree-

ment in the scientific community that improvements in water quality can only be achieved by the control of what goes into the lake,” said a news release on the decision. “The prohibi-tion of lawn fertilizers next to a water body should be a “no brainer”, in the words of one lake steward.”

At Sylvan Lake we haven’t had an issue with blue-green algae yet. However, the town is taking a proac-tive approach in one area to limit the potential. At their last meeting coun-cillors awarded a contract to consult-ing services required for restoration of a wetland biofilter on Golf Course Creek at the outlet to Marina Bay. The wetland is planned for the area adja-cent to houses on the east side of Willow Springs Crescent and south of Lakeshore Drive.

In his report, David Brand, director of public works, wrote, “water quality in Marina Bay has deteriorated over the past decade. Maximum water tem-perature has increased in duration and frequency and dissolved nutrient con-centrations (phosphorus and nitro-gen) have increased in Marina Bay …

“… Blue-green algal blooms have the opportunity to exist in Marina Bay due to the increased temperature and nutrient rich, oxygen depleted water

The annual meeting of Blindman Valley Co-operative Association was held in Lacombe last Friday with over a hundred members in attendance. Reports showed gross sales totalling a million and a half dollars. Total value of marketings of hogs alone was

$1,308,180.18. Production of hogs in the region has decreased by nine per cent, the main cause being increased prices received by farmers for coarse grains.

Hot summer weather and hail storms go together, and this year has been no exception. Within the past week and a half storms have struck in Eckville and Rimbey districts, causing damage to crops up to 100 per cent.

Last Saturday night a hail storm swept through the area west of town, crossed the lake and continued on a northeasterly path through the Blindman Valley.

Dear Editor,Our recent brush with calamity, the

outdoor water ban, has left me a bit baffled and disappointed at the atti-tudes of some residents. I say calamity because, if you were listen to their com-plaints, you’d think it was the worst tragedy the town has ever faced. If you only listened to their complaints, you would know that the ban happened either because the tourists are using up all our water, or the town is ignoring the needs of residents to appease the

tourists.Last I checked, the tourists who

flock to the cool waters of the lake on a hot day aren’t the ones complaining they can’t spend an hour washing their ATV in their driveway, while watering their front lawn and filling a giant pool in the backyard at the same time. Tourists aren’t the ones who are bitter that they can’t spray gallons of water all over their property when it’s forecast to rain anyway. The tourists aren’t the ones complaining their last town tax

bill had a $75 charge for water use, which is obviously greed on the part of the town and not at all resulting from the volume of liquid coming from their hose.

The complaints about the town doing too much for tourists are, I feel, without merit. We’re a tourist town. The efforts the town makes for tourists ensure that they continue to pump money into our local economy. Our businesses thrive on the dollars tourists spend here.

I suppose we could dissuade the town from promoting itself and shut-tering ourselves from the tourists if it’s really that big a problem for some peo-ple. If we go down that path, I propose that any resident who is currently bitter about efforts to attract tourists not be allowed to complain that the town is not doing enough to bring money in when local businesses start closing.

Patrick Zaph,Sylvan Lake

Warm weather, rising water temperatures perfect for blue-green messchemistry.”

Also around our pristine lake, Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society is spearheading the Living By Water program. Landowners can take advantage of an on-site visit by Nature Alberta representatives who help them understand the effects of their activi-ties on the water they live beside. This program is in its fifth year, said orga-

nizer Steven Johnson earlier this year.Our question, however, is that

since we’re a rapidly growing commu-nity, and a hub of tourist activity, should we not be taking more proac-tive steps to protect our lake? Such as a ban on fertilizers and herbicides similar to Grandview, and other east-ern Canadian communities? We believe more can and should be done.

Dear Editor,Thank you to the public works

department and law enforcement for placement of the signs on 50th Avenue advising motorists of the blind crosswalk and roadway at 40th & 41st streets.

Speeding is still a major problem on 50th Avenue. More speed

enforcement required to slow vehi-cles down is necessary.

Residents of the 35th Street, in the cottage area, won their bid to have stairs to the beach installed within a short distance from the end of their street.

Councillors approved an expendi-ture of up to $20,000 so a set of stairs could be installed beside the retain-ing wall to allow people in that area to get down to the lake, during their June 9 meeting.

However a project update at last Monday’s meeting, indicates costs are higher than the budget so it now awaits further discussion following a report to the next council meeting.

David Brand, director of public works, told councillors the town’s consultant contacted eight construc-tion firms and received two quotes, one for $25,000 and the other for $30,000. Costs for the consultant, estimated at $5,000 are over and above those amounts. The costs were for wooden stairs with metal railing similar to that at the top of the retain-ing wall.

A second request for quotes, for all wooden stairs, came in at just under $20,000 and $23,000.

“It will require a budget variance to proceed,” he said. Brand added he’d just received the second set of prices that morning and would pre-pare a report for the next council meeting, which is set for Aug. 11.

The most recent saga of the 35th Street stairs began at the May 26 council meeting.

A letter from Gavin Fick was read asking council to “address and error and oversight” and “return access that has been available to us for decades”.

The letter, read by John Law, con-tinued, “of the eight streets that face onto Lakeshore Drive, with the exception of 35th Street, all have access (to the lakeshore)”.

In his own plea, Law said histori-cally they’ve always had access to the beach at the end of 35th Street.

“The biggest reason we want access is we’ve always had it,” he said.

In a report to council, prepared by Ken Kalirai, director of planning and development, a timeline indicated council heard from a delegation of 35th Street residents last July.

At that time council passed a motion to enter into discussions with Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation to determine if lake access would be permitted.

A letter received from Grant Santo, regional operations manager of the provincial department, after-wards stated “the point where the promenade passes the 35 Street intersection is very narrow in rela-tion to the lakeshore and Sylvan Lake Provincial Park. The proposed stair-case would require provincial park land that is actively being used for shoreline stabilization. Disruption of this riparian environment would risk severe erosion and destabilize the shoreline, potentially threatening the staircase and newly built promenade.

“Both Alberta Parks and AESRD (Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources) Water Approvals staff have inspected the site and recommend no construction occur on park property at this loca-tion.”

Kalirai’s report stated a further meeting took place Sept. 25 and parks “were firm in their position”.

They suggested the town look at two sites on town land at the view-points to the east and west of the end of 35th Street. “The viewpoint to the west would likely have the least impact on the shoreline.

“The distance from the preferred site (at the end of 35 St.) is approxi-mately 55 feet. However, given that for pedestrians from the 35 Street junction there is already approxi-mately a one minute walk required to

Quotes for 35th Street stairs above budget; project stalledreach an existing access point onto provincial park lands. To provide an additional access in the requested location is consid-ered excessive.”

Councillors at their meeting May 26 approved the addition of access stairs from the viewpoint west of 35th Street. While coun-cillor Chris Lust made the motion, she stated during debate she didn’t support it.

“Part of the attraction of the beach area is the opportunity to

walk along the beach prome-nade. It’s basically a short walk to either locations to get to the lake. It’s a narrow trail, not much of a land mass there. I think they have adequate access to the lake.”

After the motion was passed to construct stairs, Councillor Megan Chernoff made a motion to defer any work so the project could be included in 2015 bud-get discussions later this year. That motion didn’t receive any support from her fellow council-

lors. Then Councillor Jas Payne

made a motion that a budget of $20,000 be established for the project. That was passed.

The item was back at the June 9 council meeting, because Payne’s motion didn’t indicate where the money would come from. At that meeting, council-lors approved paying for the project from the contingency capital reserve.

A former Sylvan Lake recreation department employee has his sights set on becoming Kelowna’s next mayor.

Kelly Row, a self professed ‘follower of Jesus Christ’ said he is answering God’s call to seek the mayor’s chair, according to an announcement in the Kelowna News online July 14.

“The reason I am running is because of my relationship with God, it’s not for me. It’s not something I necessarily aspire to,” the newspaper quoted Row.

“I am hoping to run on a platform where it’s about God and God first. He needs people that understand and listen to him and are in a relation-ship with him in places of leadership.”

Row, 46, grew up in Red Deer and spent seven years with Sylvan’s recreation department before moving to Kamloops as a news/sports reporter. He’s been in Kelowna for the past two years and is currently a frontline worker at the downtown Gospel Mission.

Explaining his decision to seek the mayor’s position rather than a seat on council, he said, “I believe we need someone of the Christian faith over top of the city as mayor. That’s my belief and where I sit with God. I believe he’s spoken to me about these things. I’ve looked into it to see if there are any candidates coming up that I can support. I felt like this was my call.”

Mayor Walter Gray has announced he would not seek another term during the November elec-tion. Only one other candidate has so far declared, current Councillor Colin Basran.

Budget for the Sylvan Lake NexSource Centre has been set at $29 million, after councillors met during a special meeting Tuesday night.

The multiplex redevelopment project has gone through revisions and additions since planning began and a budget of $18.5 million was set in 2012. That bud-get included the arena replacement, four-lane running track, an expanded front entry with concession, meeting room space, community organizations’ administration space, a child activity area, leasehold space, a seniors’ centre and a meeting/conference centre, according to a report provided to councillors by project manager David Yee.

At the same time, the town had approved $1.5 million funding for redevelopment of a curling rink which had a total project budget of $7 million. The difference was to come from other sources.

Subsequently, the curling building has been incorpo-rated in plans for the NexSource Centre. Other changes were also made to the project earlier this year. Among those are that it will be built over 48th Street requiring removal of existing underground utilities, and it will fully incorporate the aquatic centre and the multiplex built in 2006 as “one large, centralized facility”.

A design charette, held May 26-28, resulted in the cur-rent concept and an estimated budget of $29 million.

During their meeting Tuesday, councillors were pre-sented with two scenarios, the first that the budget be set at $29 million and the second that it be set at $25 million.

“In order to reach a project budget of $25 million, the architect will be required to substantially reduce the cur-rent footprint and incorporate other cost-cutting solu-tions,” Yee wrote.

Councillors also received a draft of the project from CEI Architecture which included an anticipated cost of $35.2 million. That number included significant contin-gencies. Also GST was included in the price, however the town recoups 100 per cent of its GST expense.

Yee described the numbers as very conservatively estimated and felt the $29 million proposal was achiev-able.

Based on council’s approval of a $29 million budget, debt financing would be used to cover $13 million which would bring the town’s total debt limit as high as 67 per cent.

Other sources of funding include franchise fees ($4 million) other sources ($2.55 million), inter-municipal contributions ($2 million), fundraising and sponsor-ship ($2 million), recre-ation capital reserve ($1.85 million), taxes ($1.5 mil-lion), MSI Capital Grant ($2 million) and Kraft Hockeyville ($100,000).

Budget for new recreation complex set at $29 millionCouncillor Megan Chernoff asked for

assurance that the proposed budget would include everything needed to do the proj-ect right.

Betty Osmond, the town’s chief admin-istrative officer, said the $35 million cost provided was based on “pretty soft num-

bers. It’s a very conservative estimate until detailed design is complete. They’re erring on the side of caution.”

Councillors unanimously approved the $29 million budget. Councillors Matt Prete and Chris Lust were absent from the meeting.

Boaters launching from Sunbreaker Cove next Friday, Aug. 1, will have a chance to learn more about the danger of invasive species to Sylvan Lake.

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as Eurasian Watermilfoil, Quagga or Zebra Mussels, which, if introduced to Alberta lakes, can cause extreme damage, will be the target of an education blitz.

Lacombe County and Alberta Environment and Sustainabile Resource Development (AESRD) are hosting the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The public is invited to join us in learning how AIS threaten Alberta lakes, and what we can all do to prevent the spread of them, said Cajun Paradis, the county’s acting environ-mental coordinator, in a media release from the county.

Quagga or Zebra Mussels can live out of water for 30 days, and reproduce one million eggs every year and are almost impossible to eradicate. If introduced they can cause mil-lions of dollars in damage to aquatic ecosys-tems as well as water operated infrastructure.

The two species can be spread quickly by water users with unclean equipment. It is rec-ommended that every time you remove your boat from the water, you remember to “clean, drain and dry” your watercraft and equip-ment in order to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

For more information on the event or aquatic invasive species, contact Lacombe Count’s acting environmental coordinator, Cajun Paradis, at 403-782-6601.

To report something suspicious on your or someone else’s boat or equipment, call toll free: 1-855-336-2628.

When asked what’s kept him practicing in Sylvan Lake for so long, “people” is the one-word response from Dr. Fred Janke, who earlier this month celebrated 30 of years working in town.

He and his colleagues at Sylvan Family Health Centre celebrated the milestone with cake, decora-tions and a colourful sidewalk display earlier this month.

“Part of what I think distinguishes family medicine from much of the rest of medicine is that we develop long-term relationships with our patients,” he said. “That is what I get the most ful-fillment out of.”

Janke began forming those relationships in 1984, when he joined Sylvan Lake Medical Clinic. After spending four years there, he decided to form Sylvan Family Health Centre where he’s been ever since, and where he now works alongside eight other physicians.

Since relocating from Calgary, where he com-pleted his master’s and medical degrees and his residency, his love for Sylvan Lake has always remained strong.

That, he assures, is because of its people.“The people of the town have always been very

welcoming and very open-armed to me, and always very supportive,” he said, also acknowledg-ing the role his colleagues have played in the clin-ic’s success.

“I think we form an extremely good team, and a very well functioning team that is constantly looking ahead and looking at how we can improve. Being in that kind of environment is very positive, and very affirming.”

With time comes plenty of change, however, and that’s something Janke has seen no shortage of while here.

When he first arrived, Sylvan Lake’s population was around 3,000. Today, that number sits closer to 13,000, and with that growth has come a loss of

People the best part of Janke’s 30 years practicing in Sylvan Lake

sorts.“When I first came here, I came to

know pretty much everyone in town,” he said. “Now it’s a town of 13,000, with a much broader popula-tion around the town as well, I don’t

feel like I nearly know as many peo-ple as I did before.”

Janke doesn’t see himself leaving Sylvan Lake any time in the near future.

Although his position as Director of Rural and Regional Health with the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry sees him divide his time today almost evenly between

Trees, public art and a new lighthouse are part of the legacy from last year’s Centennial celebrations.

At their meeting June 9, Sylvan Lake councillors allocated over $65,000 which the Sylvan Lake Centennial Celebrations Task Force had left over after the year-long celebrations.

Following recommendations of the task force, councillors agreed to $5,000 for legacy trees, $28,000 for the lighthouse project and $32,883 for public art.

They also directed staff to draw up terms of refer-ence for a new task force to plan and organize the public art legacy project.

In his report to council, Ron Lebsack, director of community services, wrote, “administration has reviewed the recommendation for the funds and has no concerns or issues with any of the recommenda-

tions.”Task force chairperson Brenda Dale presented her

final report to council Apr. 14.Under the legacy trees heading, her task force’s

recommendation was that two burl oak be planted in Lions Legacy Park “to grow tall and strong and frame our new Municipal Government Building”.

Secondly a Centennial Grove be established on 60th Street in memory of founding families. “This can be expanded or carried into new designated sites, throughout town as resident and others may make further contributions in memory of loved ones or fam-ily celebrations. A record of contributors to be kept as a historical document by the Town of Sylvan Lake.”

With the lighthouse project, they’d like it to include interpretive information and history of the project.

Dale indicated three members of the Centennial Celebrations task force were willing to follow through with the public art project. Their idea is to commission

a piece or pieces of public art that will represent Sylvan Lake’s history.

During her presenta-tion to council, Dale pro-vided an overview of the Centennial celebrations which started with the designation of 50th Street as Centennial Street, a toast to the New Year and our Centennial Year at The Royal Canadian Legion, the first fire in the new fire pit in Centennial Park and fire-works.

Over 80 Centennial

Residual Centennial celebrations funds approved for legacy projectshistory boards circulated throughout town during the year.

The Centennial Jubilee, ten decades of history, was brought to life with the-atre, music and dance, followed by a lively afternoon street party.

Rededication of Centennial Park involved 150 kindergarten students enjoying the new open space.

Enhanced 1913 Days celebrations included great participation over three days. The chamber of commerce Dance of the Century provided a chance to reminisce about dance hall days with a variety of entertainment, a chili cook-off and Cobb’s Clothing’s 100 years of fashion.

The 1988 time capsule created 25 years ago by the Peer Support Team was opened.

A community picnic was held in Centennial Park, “a wonderful Sunday of music and games for all ages, orga-nized by the Ministerial Association.

The new Municipal Government Building was opened and the historical legacy art piece featuring personal con-tributions by Grade 7 students was unveiled.

A celebration of Alberta Culture Days, Sylvan Lake style, featured local talent in the first public art contest and

show of student art in the new council chambers. Music students from House of Music performed in Lions Park Gazebo. Other events included Jack Smalley’s hands-on workshop “restore the pergola” and a public viewing of the 1988 time capsule items.

There was also a preview of the 2013 time capsule created by the 2013 Youth Advisory Council.

“Many clubs held their own Centennial events. The seniors’ histori-cal play, Lions Club, curling club, Centennial quilts by the quilting club, the chamber of commerce and a mara-thon birthday run, the Archives histori-cal calendar, Community Partners’ Centennial cookbook, the library chal-lenged us to read 100 books in our 100th year,” Dale said.

To determine what projects to include for the continuing legacy, the task force used six criteria, she indicat-ed. They had to be representative of our history or Centennial; provide a lasting legacy or value to the community (stands the test of time); build on our environment, culture, recreation or beauty; be available to all citizens; could leverage or serve as a catalyst for other projects; and include an educational component.


During their regular meeting July 7, members of Sylvan Lake’s Municipal Planning Commission (MPC):

• approved a development applica-tion for construction of the final four buildings in the seven building Newport Village condominium complex on Windward Place. The four buildings will contain 16 row housing units.

Two of the seven buildings have already been constructed and a development permit for the third was approved by MPC at its May 5 meeting.

The units will consist of two floors with an attached garage, uncov-ered deck and private yards for each row hous-ing unit.

In granting approval, MPC members granted relaxations of just under 10 per cent on parcel coverage for the interior two units of each of the four unit buildings. They also imposed a condition that a fence be construct-ed between three of the buildings to screen them from neighbours on William Close.

• approved a subdivi-sion application to create a 1.394 hectare (3.45 acre) lot immediately north of the newly con-structed apartment building on Broadway Rise in the Beacon Hill subdivision.

The property is zoned High Density Residential (R3) District. Among per-mitted uses in the district are apart-ments, four-plexes, row housing and stacked rowhouses.

The report presented to members noted details of any proposed develop-ment have not yet been submitted for review.

BY KATHLEEN RAINESSPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Taste of Markerville, a country food fair, is tak-ing place Saturday and Sunday in Historic Markerville.

This second annual event is designed to cele-brate great local food, farmers and community, and to showcase the authentic culture and history of the Markerville district.

The Country Market kicks off on Saturday with a feature barbecue at Markerville Creamery start-ing at noon, and visitors can browse over a dozen displays all over the hamlet from 1-5 p.m. Vendors have designed their booths to be interactive, so you’ll have the opportunity to try your hand work-ing with fibre, separating milk, churning (and sampling!) butter and ice cream, and to shop for locally grown veggies, fruit and eggs, antiques and collectibles and artwork. Just like at the Farmers’ Market, it’s best to bring cash as not all vendors can process debit or credit cards.

But that’s not all — in fact it’s just the begin-ning! Once the market closes at 5 p.m. Markerville Creamery will be transformed for ’Appy Hour, a chance to visit and sample locally sourced appetiz-ers made on-site and Alberta beverages while your appetite builds for the Long Table Dinner starting at 7 p.m. on the banks of the Medicine River in front of Fensala Hall. Tickets are required for the dinner.

The dinner is being created by six Alberta chefs, members of the Alberta Ate collaborative, led by Darren MacLean of Calgary’s downtown-food. Using the best of our farm partner’s produce at its seasonal peak, the menu is guaranteed to delight your palate while the presentation and stunning country setting leave you awestruck.

There’s more — Fensala Hall will host two “Tasty” classes on Sunday. Chef and caterer Nan Dell of Red Deer will profile summer garden fresh produce in the two hour sessions focused on cre-ating amazing salads, pickles and frozen treats to extend your enjoyment of the season’s bounty. Each class will end with a meal and a chance to sample all the dishes created by the group.

During their regular meeting Monday night, Sylvan Lake’s Municipal Planning Commission:

• reviewed an application for a 100-150 seat outdoor patio adjoining Bravo Gastro Lounge on Lakeshore Drive, and agreed unanimously to recommend that town councillors approve a develop-ment permit for the project.

Councillors have to decide on the permit because the property falls within the Waterfront Direct Control District. It will be on the agenda of their next meeting Aug. 11.

The patio would be located on the vacant site which used to be Loco’s Bar & Grill or more recently Caribbean Flava. Some oldtimers would remember the building as Sandpiper, The Centre, The Grill and probably several other names. The build-ing was demolished last August.

Earlier this year, an outdoor patio was approved for a restaurant business several lots fur-ther west.

• approved an applica-tion to create the first 48 residential lots in the Hampton Pointe subdivi-sion. It will be accessed from Hinshaw Drive north of Herder Drive.

Site preparation has already commenced.

When council approved rezoning and outline plan changes to allow this project to pro-ceed, the removal of on-street parking along the east side of Hinshaw Drive was discussed as a means to alleviate poten-tial traffic congestion in the area.

• recommended council accept Cameron Close, Craig Road, Clayton Crescent, Cobb Drive and Cody Way as street names for the second phase of the Crestview subdivision. The names have to be approved by council.

• made a “favourable recommenda-tion” to council with regard to a bylaw which will amend the town’s Land Use Bylaw to allow development of a school site and active recreational space in Beacon Hill subdivision for Chinook’s Edge School Division.

A new Kindergarten to Grade 8 school for 500 students was announced for the site by Alberta Education Minister Jeff Johnson in February. At that time the expectation was the build-ing would be ready for the 2016-17 school year.

Environmental stewardship key part of county plan


Providing a guideline for environ-mental stewardship is the goal of Lacombe County’s Environmental Management Plan.

Created as an internal guiding docu-ment for county staff and councillors, the plan outlines the county’s targets, goals and expectations as they relate to envi-ronmental stewardship.

It was released to the public last month, allowing an insight into the county’s plan for environmental manage-ment.

“The need (for the plan) arose from

the identification that we have to be a good steward of the environment, and to demonstrate to the residents of the coun-ty what we’re doing in regards to envi-ronmental management,” said acting environmental co-ordinator Cajun Paradis.

Contained in the document is an introduction to environmental manage-ment, as well as information on the plan’s development. Also included is informa-tion on the plan’s implementation, and its goals and targets as they relate to water quality, waste generation and disposal, water use efficiency and energy con-sumption.

The plan is the fourth step in the county’s process to establish an environ-

mental management sys-tem. Earlier steps includ-ed consultation with resi-dents, council, county staff and stakeholders in 2012, and completion of a State of the Environment report in 2013.

Although similar plans have previously been implemented by urban municipalities, the plan is the first of its kind for the county.

“I think it’s more out-of-the-box for a rural municipality to imple-ment plans such as this,” said Paradis.

The plan was com-piled by an ad hoc envi-ronmental management steering committee chaired by the county’s environmental co-ordina-tor.

As an internally-focused document, it’s meant to govern only the operations of the county — not members of the general public.

Community Partners received $50,000 provincial grantBY STUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners Association recently received $50,000 from a two-year Alberta Culture Community Initiatives Program grant.

The operating grant will help cover rent, wages and other aspects of day-to-day running of the non-profit

organization.Administrative and events co-ordinator Alanna

Dextrase said it will prove immensely helpful in that regard, but won’t entirely eliminate the need for further funding.

“We still have to fundraise, because with rent and wages, and just the day-to-day operations, it eats up,” she said.

The money comes from the Community Initiative Program’s com-munity operating grant category. The program also awards funding through project-based and international develop-ment grants.

According to the program’s website, funds are provided to “enhance and enrich community initiatives throughout Alberta. The program is intended to reinvest revenues generated from provin-cial lotteries in communities, to empow-er local citizens, and community organi-zations to work together and respond to local needs”.

Community Partners typically raises money for operating expenses through fundraisers — one of which is its annual garage sale, planned for Saturday (June 14). Organizers are hoping for plenty of community support to ensure it’s a suc-cess.

“We’re always looking for items for that,” said Dextrase, adding donations may be dropped off at the Community Partners office on 50 Ave. in Sylvan Lake.

All types of donations will be accept-ed, including those that may apply to the organization’s Household Exchange pro-gram, which offers furniture to individu-als in need.

According to Dextrase, donations from local businesses and individuals are greatly appreciated by the organization.

“That definitely does help,” she said.More are always needed, she added.

As are volunteers.For more information, contact

Dextrase at 403-887-9989.A list of Community Partners pro-

grams and events is available on its web-site at www.sylvanlakecommunitypart-ners.ca.

Celebrated - Everyone loves a parade. Especially the children. To cel-ebrate the 25th anniversary of Points West Resort, a day of activities was held Saturday. The event began with a pancake breakfast enjoyed by about 100 peo-ple in the morning. Then at 2 p.m. everyone gathered to watch gaily dressed children ride their decorated bikes, led by John Younie, president of the condo board, through streets at the resort, which is located just west of Willow Springs sub-division. The young-sters were then treated to ice cream sundaes and games. Evening events included a dinner for which over 100 tickets were sold, followed by an out-side dance. Younie complimented the social committee members who “worked tremen-dously” on the fes-tivities. The resort has 116 lots.

BYSTROMCatherine1923 - 2014Catherine passed away peacefully on June 21, 2014 at the Cochrane Bethany Care Center, at the age of 91 years. Catherine was born in Austria April 18, 1923 to Paul and Mary Hansinger. The family with the new addition of her brother Paul immigrated to Canada and homesteaded in the Leslieville/Bingley area. She loved attending school and her horse “Bill”. Life was challenging during her ear-

ly years, learning to speak English, helping the family breaking land, picking roots, milking cows, caring for siblings as well as experiencing the depression years and the “war” years. Her fi rst job was at Evarts where she assisted with the post offi ce and telephone exchange. It was at this time that she met and married Langton Wells in 1946 and they farmed in the Benalto area. After Langton’s passing she relocated to Rocky and worked at the Rocky Hospital. She spent a year in Calgary earning her hair dressers certifi cate. In 1961 Catherine married Ed Bystrom and they farmed in the Centerville (Sylvan Lake area). After Ed’s passing she moved to Red Deer where she was active in the business community for several years. On retirement Catherine moved to Peachland, B.C. where she enjoyed many happy years. She travelled to Europe, Bermuda, took several cruises and many motoring holidays with family and friends. Her Benalto friends Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jenson and Mr. and Mrs. Harrision Benner who had retired to Summerland were very special to Catherine. Mom and I spent the last ten years together and she loved her time in the Canadian Rockies. I was able to be her caregiver until the last fi ve months when she was moved to the care center. It was a diffi cult adjustment as Catherine succumbed to Alzheimers. Wherever Catherine lived she gardened and numerous times created beautiful and peaceful havens. Although gardening was her passion during the summer, she was always busy knitting, sewing, quilting, needlework and of course her love of reading. Catherine is survived by her daughter Judy Riedner of Banff; her daughter-in-law, Marilyn Wells (MacDonald) of Scotch Creek, B.C.; her brother Peter Hansinger of Leslieville; her brother Will (Faye) Hansinger of Westbridge, B.C.; her grandson Grayson Wells of Kelowna; her grand daughter Tina Riedner of Calgary and her grandson Marcus (Sarah) Riedner and great grandson Sam Riedner of Calgary. Catherine is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Catherine was predeceased by her son Bruce in 2006. It was Catherine’s request that she not have a funeral and that she be cremated. Catherine’s internment will be in Mountain View Cemetery in Banff in the shelter of the Canadian Rockies she loved so much.
