Tugboat unique on Sylvan Lake by Aleisha Bosch

Sylvan Lake News

Amid the motorboats and sailboats com-monly seen on Sylvan Lake, John Cameron’s

small tugboat gets more than a few second glances.

“Some people just can’t believe there’s such a thing,” said Cameron. “People come up in big powerboats and want to take a picture.”

One person wanted to know if he would be building another, said Cameron, adding that all the comments have been positive.

“Oh that’s so awesome, I want to go on a boat like that,” remarked one passerby last Thursday.

Cameron began building the boat in December 2010, in his garage in Red Deer. He worked two to three hours per day most days, and took it on the lake for the first time July 13.

Our Lady of the Assumption celebrating 100th anniversary by Michael Dawe

Special to Sylvan Lake News

Over the years, Sylvan Lake has experi-enced some very inter-esting times. One of the best times took place one hundred years ago when the community enjoyed one of the stron-gest booms in its histo-ry.

Sylvan Lake has always had many attrac-tive attributes. It was surrounded by fertile farmlands. There were extensive forests, which provided a ready supply of lumber and winter fuel. The lake itself was clear, clean and full of fish. There were beauti-ful sandy beaches along the perimeter, particu-larly at the south end.

However, for many years, what Sylvan Lake lacked was easy accessi-bility. The trails to it were very rough and at times quite impassable. This was particularly

true in the large marshy areas to the east at Burnt Lake. It was not unknown for a trip from Red Deer to Sylvan Lake to take one or two full days.

That was certainly the experience of Father Henri Voisin, head of the Central Alberta mis-sion of the Fathers of Ste. Marie of Tinchebray. He made his first trip to Sylvan Lake on December 26, 1904. He did not get back to Red Deer until December 29.

The situation began to change rapidly in 1910-1911 when work began on not one, but two railways into the West Country - the Alberta Central and the Canadian Northern Western. New settlers began to flood into the Sylvan Lake district. With travel becoming much easier, the com-munity rapidly became popular as a summer

resort, as well as an agri-cultural centre.

Quite a few of the families in the burgeon-ing community were French, with several

coming directly from France, but a number coming from Quebec and the United States. There were also quite a few Belgians as well as French and German Swiss.

Masses for these set-tlers were said by Father Voisin, or one of the other Tinchebray priests. They used such places as

Charles and Raymond Archambault’s store, Adelard and Victoria Faucher’s farm and the August Loquet and Frederic Gerard home-stead cabins.

By 1912, it was evi-dent that the number of local Catholics had grown to the extent that a church was needed. Moreover, with the free-

wheeling pastimes often associated with a boom town and a summer resort, Father Voisin wrote that “the time had come to enliven the completely materialistic atmosphere by the salu-tary presence of a church”.

In the spring of 1912, Alexandre Loiselle donated a piece of land on the hillside on what is now 47A Avenue. Work on the church started thereafter. One of the big Sylvan Lake windstorms struck in July and almost blew the little church to the ground. Fortunately, the workmen were able to quickly make repairs and finish the building.

Father Paul J. Chauvin, one of the Tinchebray Fathers, became the first priest. The new church was dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The first mass was said on Sunday, August 18, 1912.

Father Chauvin con-tinued to conduct regu-lar services until 1915. Father Paul Lamort acted as a replacement for a while, until Father

Henri Voisin resumed charge in May 1915.

The First World War was a very tough time for Sylvan Lake and the local Catholic church. Many parishioners enlisted in the French, Belgian and Canadian armies and went over-seas. Several never returned. With ensuing tough economic times, money became very scarce.

In 1923-1924, the Tinchebray Fathers moved from Alberta to Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Father Stacey, who was originally from Woodstock, Ontario, became the priest at Sylvan Lake in the sum-mer of 1923. He was soon replaced by Father Joseph R. MacDonald, who was also the resi-dent priest at Sacred Heart in Red Deer.

In 1927, conditions had improved enough that Sylvan Lake became a parish instead of a mis-sion. Strong growth resumed in the commu-nity after the Second World War. The Our Lady of the Assumption parish grew as well.

In the fall of 1964, the old church was demolished and replaced with a much larger one. Dedication of the new building took place on March 23, 1965 with Archbishop Jordan of Edmonton providing the official blessing.

On Sunday, August 26, 2012, Our Lady of the Assumption will be celebrating its centenni-al. Archbishop Richard Smith will be in atten-dance for the special mass and celebrations.

Michael Dawe is Curator of History at Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery. He also writes a weekly column for Red Deer Express. He became the first full-time archi-vist with the Red Deer and District Archives and served as City Archivist until 2009.

John Cameron took his tugboat out on Sylvan Lake last Thursday. He built the boat himself as a retirement project, and receives many comments about it from others on the lake. ALEISHA BOSCH

Tugboat gets more than a few second glances

Continued from Page 1“When you’re retired

you always think you’d like to do things,” said Cameron, who used to have a garden business in Sylvan Lake. He added that he already had the necessary tools and space for the proj-ect.

This is the first boat Cameron has built. Originally from Alliance, he “grew up keeping machines run-ning on a farm”. He chose to keep his tugboat small as practice, eventually hoping to build a larger boat.

He liked the look and efficiency of the tugboat’s design, which he ordered from a web-site.

“I learned as I did it, the plans are very good,” said Cameron. He said the boat’s con-struction style was for-giving of small errors he made.

“There were a lot of little challenges,” he said, adding that while it was easy enough for him to draw a straight line, it was another matter to cut it.

The boat is con-structed from fibre-glass, epoxy, and ply-wood.

“It’s kind of a messy job,” said Cameron of the work required to build it. “You get prac-

tised at it and then it’s not so bad.”

The boat is powered by an electric golf cart motor, which he charg-es every night in his garage. Fully charged, Cameron said the bat-tery lasts about eight hours.

In addition to the battery, the boat is also equipped with a radio and a GPS, which help him monitor the weath-er, his speed, and his distance.

Cameron has only taken the boat on Sylvan Lake so far,

usually twice a week, which he likes for its proximity to Red Deer.

He named the boat “Canduet” after seeing a boat called “Candu” in his building plans.

“I put it in Google and got no hits, so I figure it’s a safe name,” he said.

Cameron was famil-iar with boats, especial-ly sailboats and canoes, before building the tug-boat.

“But I’m not born on the water or any-thing like that.”

For Walmart staff there was a familiar member of their team inside the Red Cross water safety mascot’s costume last Wednesday.

Assistant manager Cory Casebeer donned the “Buckles” costume and greeted customers to celebrate the fact the Sylvan Lake store had exceeded its tar-get of raising $4,100 for the Canadian Red Cross disaster pre-paredness and response activities.

They were only 12 days into the month-long campaign when they reached their tar-get, thanks in part to the generosity of cus-tomers who made donations at cash reg-isters.

As a result, Red

Cross volunteers were on hand to help cus-tomers and show their support for Walmart staff.

“This is a fun way to thank the custom-ers of Walmart in Sylvan Lake for being so generous and sup-portive of our disaster management pro-gram, said Leigh Baker, community development coordi-nator for Canadian Red Cross.

She stressed money raised in the Sylvan Lake area stays in the Sylvan Lake area to assist people involved in disasters such as fires, floods and tor-nadoes.

Following a disas-ter, Canadian Red Cross provides vital assistance for people’s basic needs, including shelter, family reunifi-cation, assistance find-

ing support, first aid, information, clothing and food.

They work in part-nership with first responders, emergen-cy managers and pub-lic officials to support their response activi-ties.

Besides helping in the store, Red Cross volunteers were explaining what their disaster management program does.

“We’re lending sup-port and bringing awareness,” said Baker. She added the agency has been called on several times in the past to provide assis-tance to local residents who have been struck by disaster through fires.

The month-long cross-country cam-paign by Walmart Canada launched on Aug. 2 and will run in Walmart stores until Aug. 26. The goal is to raise $3.2 million across the country.

LAKESHORE DRIVE STAGE 4 CONSTRUCTIONThe Town of Sylvan Lake continues to work along Lakeshore Drive, between 33 & 40 Streets. Changes will include the creation of a more useable green space, 5 new look out points with seating, extension of the promenade & tree/shrub plantings to replace those removed. Expect temporary disruptions to traffi c as vegetation is removed and construction occurs. Heavy equip-ment and vehicles supplying materials will be working along the route- pe-destrians and drivers should exercise caution.Construction is scheduled to wrap up October 31, 2012- weather permitting. For more information visit our BLOG or check out our Fact Sheet, both avail-able at www.sylvanalke.ca

Just one more year.As Sylvan Lake has basked in the

sunny, warm temperatures of the past few weeks, we’ve seen the smiles and enjoyment of thousands of tourists we’ve welcomed to our community.

That’s an indication that the town’s lustre and lake’s shimmering waters have continued to act as a magnet for people from Central Alberta and beyond.

In fact, if you’ve taken a drive along Lakeshore Drive, you’ll prob-ably have noticed, as we have, the proliferation of out-of-province licence plates.

While there are those who com-plain about the constant construc-tion and inconvenience, the lack of access to the lakefront from the cabin area and the difficulty in manoeuvring the streets of our community, we really are on the downhill slide towards the end of construction along our waterfront and in other areas.

No matter what people say about cost and inconvenience though, with only a few minor exceptions, the Lakeshore Redevelopment proj-

ect’s reality has been worth the wait and hassle.

Perhaps to the chagrin of some businesses which were focused on a different clientele, the changes have brought a more family-oriented atmosphere and certainly improved the area, particularly if you listen to anecdotal stories from various peo-ple who are charged with keeping us safe.

That’s definitely a benefit to our community as our leaders position the communty’s reputation as a more wholesome, friendly and accommodating place to enjoy — whether for a few days in the sum-mer or to make your home perma-nently.

As well, we’ve seen recently the support for family-friendly events such as the Shake The Lake action sports and music festival as well as Jazz At The Lake Festival.

Both have required extensive

volunteer hours by dedicated mem-bers of our community, as well as the financial support from our local businesses which is so necessary when producing the type of events we’ve witnessed. These and other events enhance our community’s reputation locally and more widely.

As we review the changes, we think about how prescient they’ve been as demographics change and our community grows.

Whether our leaders and volun-teers have been able to crystal ball gaze and determine what’s coming and how to prepare or whether they’re acting in a more proactive manner, we’ll leave to someone with more experience to determine.

What we do see, though, is the continuing growth of our commu-nity, not just as a great place to live but also as a great place to visit. And for that we’ve got to express thanks to everyone involved.

We see, on a weekly basis, the dedication of our residents to vari-ous aspects of making our lives more enjoyable. We chronicle some in the pages of this paper, but we don’t often enough take the time to

say thanks, and keep up the good work.

Visiting other locales during the summer season we’ve witnessed the tremendous growth taking place in our province and in our country. We can see it in our own commu-nity too, but it doesn’t have the same impact until you step outside of familiar surroundings and view the changes we’re going to be experi-encing.

Now we can say, with some

authority, that we’re headed in the right direction, that decisions being made are beneficial to our well being and long term security.

Just one more year and many of the projects which are dominating discussion today will be mere mem-ories and we’ll have moved on to other controversies … or should that be opportunities. We prefer the latter.

Unlike many university students, I did not drink coffee (and I still don’t) to help me get through the day. However, like many students, I drank a few energy drinks to help me stay up late while working on a major paper.

I vividly remember my first (and only) all-nighter of university. I was in my second year, and it was the last week of spring semester. It had been a stressful time, with a major assignment due every week. I man-aged to get everything in on time as the last day rolled around. Finally, I was left with one assignment — an eight-page Canadian identity paper for my history class.

I hadn’t intentionally set about to leave the entire paper, save for

checking out the books I needed, until the last night. With all the other assignments due before it, that’s exactly what ended up hap-pening. As it turned out, that same night was also a friend’s birthday, and the evening of my residence’s year-end dinner. Despite the moun-tain of work that lay ahead of me, I decided to attend both events.

At 11 p.m. I sat down to start my paper. I stationed myself in the study lounge (to minimize distrac-tions) and arranged my books around my laptop (to appear studi-ous and avoid interruptions). I opened up a word document, wrote the title and my name at the top, and stared at the blank page.

I didn’t know where to begin. My chosen topic was Britain’s legacy in Canada, selected solely for the num-ber of books I was able to find on the topic. I had armed myself with a vast array of scholarly literature.

One book featured a cracked teacup on its cover. I felt like I was that teacup, about to crack from stress. The Queen looked sternly at me from another cover. I flipped the book over.

I settled down and began labou-riously typing out each letter. Words formed, then sentences. What was I writing about? I really didn’t know. I hoped it made sense.

After a few hours, I started nod-ding off mid-word. I re-read my last paragraph. It was filled with spelling errors and was missing several words. I needed to stay awake. A classmate was sitting across from me, working on the very same paper and drinking an energy drink. That’s

what I need, I thought. The drink, purchased from a

vending machine, was shockingly sweet. I set it next to my fortress of books, and hoped this would help me finish my paper.

I started feeling jittery in about half an hour. It was difficult to sit still in my seat. My fingers trembled as I tried to type, but at least I didn’t feel tired anymore. I powered through the next couple hours of work, fuelled by the caffeine and huge amounts of sugar the drink contained. Though I had energy, it was a certain kind of energy. It didn’t feel like I was really ener-gized. It felt fake, like I was cheating sleep.

By 7 a.m., I had written six pages. I had class at 9 a.m., so I packed up my computer, books, and empty drink can and headed down to my room to shower. I felt slightly dazed. There was something surreal about

taking my morning shower without having first woken up in my bed.

While in class, I suddenly felt exhausted. I knew I was crashing as the drink wore off, and therein lay the fundamental problem with energy drinks. While it had given me a false sense of energy to work on my paper, it inevitably left me feeling as I naturally should have after not sleeping for a night. There really is no substitute for a good night’s sleep.

In my opinion, energy drinks are no different from pop, except for their elevated caffeine content. They are neither natural nor healthy, and should not refer to themselves as such.

As for the paper, I ended up fin-ishing it on time. I learned my les-son, and for the rest of my time in university, I learned not to leave anything to the last minute, and to take it easy with caffeine.

Dear Editor,I totally support

Everett Gratrix’s letter in the Aug. 16th issue of Sylvan Lake News. This letter develops the history

of situations leading to the current tenuous future facing the permanent and summer residents of the Town of Sylvan Lake. The use of the word apologists

re: previous letters of sup-port for the actions of the politicians at all levels of government is very appro-priate. What a situation when citizens have to

apologize for the actions of politicians.

One of the apologists suggested those of us dis-gruntled by the actions and non-actions direct our “venom” specifically at the local MLA. Firstly, the opinions expressed are not hateful and spite-ful as the term “venom” suggests, but merely com-mon sense opinions of concerned citizens of Sylvan Lake.

As a summer resident not involved in the local provincial election, for me as an individual to take my concern to the Wildrose MLA’s desk would, if accepted, have no impact. However, although I haven’t voted in the local civic elections,

but could, I expect the town council to leave no stone unturned in their efforts on my behalf as well as countless others to right the wrongs that have led to the current situa-tion.

There is no doubt that no matter how you slice it, the local civic government is totally to blame for the downfall of this beautiful resort. For town council to accept the provincial government’s June announcement that noth-ing can be done to right the lake level this year is mystifying. If I were a councillor, and accepted this without protest and continued concerted effort to right this wrong, I would be very embar-

rassed.Our apologist suggests

that the ’50s development of Highway 11 along what became Lakeshore Drive was to act as a “dike” for the high level of this time. In reality, the upgrading of the highway through Sylvan Lake at this time was to complete develop-ment of the David Thompson tourist high-way to Saskatchewan Crossing, to readily han-dle the increased tourist traffic.

Describing the lake level of the ’50s as “almost” as high as it is now leaves a lot of latitude regarding what is almost. In the late ’50s I would, during my noon hour break from my summer job in Red Deer,

drive to Sylvan, park along Lakeshore Drive (then Highway 11) and go for a swim and suntan lying on a towel placed on the sand beach that was then avail-able. However, the apolo-gist can now realize his suggestion that the road was improved to act as a “dike”, in that 60 years later it actually is a “dike”.

It is unfortunate the realization that all the ills of Sylvan Lake could be cured by the immediate lowering of the lake level is not realized and acted upon. Hopefully, the com-ing winter will have little snow and/or glaciers will stop melting at there cur-rent alarming rate.

Arnie Enger,Sylvan Lake

Local government to blame for downfall of beautiful resort

Pleased to see Law’s positive letterDear Editor,

I was reading the Letters to the Editor in this past week’s Sylvan Lake News and was pleased to finally see a letter that voices the opinion that many of us have over the recent issues in the town.

Often citizens that are happy or content with the state of affairs will not bother to voice an opinion, so it was a great pleasure to read John Law’s letter! He really puts things into perspective and I want him to know that he has people that support him.

I would also like to suggest that some of the people who are putting so much effort into fighting the changes in the town, such as the Highway 11 & 781 intersection, consider taking that considerable effort and energy and putting it toward something worth-while like homelessness, abused chil-dren, disabled people, or spending time with seniors!

Just imagine what good that could be done.

Dear Editor,When I was consid-

erably younger, I started travelling here, there, just about anywhere. It was wonderful. The world was a friendlier place back then. I made many friends, and am still, to this day, in touch with some.

As I was sitting look-ing at some pictures and reminiscing, the word “trip” kept running through my mind. At first it was just a time

away from the home base for relaxation, business, or discovery — a refreshing time. You went, came back and shared experiences with family, friends, and anybody else who was interested. It was fun.

Lately, “trip” can mean so many things:

It is something we all do when we are not paying attention, like tripping over the cat, or the end of a skate board.

When using drugs of any kind, singly, or in combination with alco-hol, we can have good, bad, or even fatal trips which can have devas-tating effects on so many of the people we know.

To my mind, the most dangerous and destructive kind of trip-ping is POWER TRIPPING.

We see so much of it these days, in practically all areas of the commu-nity. Power trippers can be anybody, from dis-gruntled folk who have had power and lost it, or those who think their efforts on behalf of the community have not been sufficiently acknowledged. So they inadvertently crush the people who love them, eventually losing every-thing which is nearest and dearest to them.

So that’s it for now. Thanks for listening.

ARIESAn ideal compromise isn’t always possible, especially when several

people are involved. You’ll have to use your imagination to restore

harmony.

After some thought, you will make some important decisions concerning your personal and professional future.

A business trip could come up rather unexpectedly.

A series of small successes will enhance your self-esteem. It will also give you

the necessary credibility to promote a project close to your heart.

For work, there’s a good chance that you will be able to set up a highly

functional home office. You will also need to clear away any clutter from

your surroundings.

You are someone who needs constant change. You hate stagnation,

especially on an intellectual level. This is why you could decide to

change jobs rather spontaneously.

You’re thinking about selling or buying a property. Focusing more on

inexpensive housing will improve all your family’s quality of life.

Love will preoccupy you this week. By communicating clearly with your

loved one, you will learn more about his or her feelings and intentions.

Take the time to treat yourself a bit and perhaps also think about

buying a new car. A few people will ask you to help them, which will

force you to go out more than usual.

By making a few calculations you begin to see that you have the means

to achieve your ambitions. Indeed, you will likely find the necessary funds to accomplish one of your biggest dreams.

You may tend to become a little discouraged when faced with

bigger responsibilities, but as the work progresses you will realize

just how capable you are.

Take a step back so you can see your situation more clearly. At work, you aspire to something

more in line with your convictions.

Dear Editor,We have owned a

home in Sylvan for 12 years, and enjoyed the

Zoo Cruise with grand-children, other family, friends and service organizations.

In speaking with Cynthia, captain of our cruise, I asked her what percentage of her guests

were tourists or locals. She indicated to me that about 75-80 per cent are tourists.

For many years we rented our tourist home to families from Canada, the USA and Europe. We always had Zoo Cruise brochures in our hand out pack-ages for our guests.

The town initiated a tourist home bylaw that effectively turned the cabin rental business from over 100 cabins for rent in 2002, to the most recent stat of less that 30 licensed tourist homes. Well done!

When checking out,

we always asked guests what they enjoyed or discovered in our town. Reviewing that infor-mation, the Zoo Cruise was mentioned in at least 37 per cent of replies.

What a shame that a valid legally binding lease agreement, that the owners of the Zoo Cruise have with the landlord, is deemed to not be important enough that our town council voted to approved the condo

development, which will effectively close down this wonderful 20 year “special” expe-rience that thousands have enjoyed.

Locals, we need you to speak to our mem-bers of council and the mayor and express con-cerns about this gross miscarriage of justice.

One less thing for the tourists and locals to enjoy. So sad!

Dear Editor,It’s a sad state of affairs

when a simple plea for understanding, honesty and proactive participa-tion in our political sys-tem can so quickly lead to allegations of crony-ism and outright graft.

Apparently some readers take serious offense when others seek to defend the actions of political repre-sentatives or, more importantly, the demo-cratic system that they represent.

Letters to the Editor

provide a suitable plat-form for individuals and groups to present their thoughts and opinions to society at large. Unfortunately, some writers deem to present opinion as fact and alle-gation as truth; others

resort to half-truth and false innuendo to get their point across.

How are these indi-viduals any different than the political stripe these writers seek to rebuke?

Richard Backs,Sylvan Lake

Youngsters with lemonade stand thanked by charityDear Editor,

Every now and then, we need to celebrate great kids, their huge hearts, and give a shout out to their parents for doing an excellent job.

Here’s the wonderfulness of it all: On Friday I received a call from the owner at Yogadive Co. to let me know that her daughter and her friend were doing a lemonade sale and would like to donate the proceeds to Sylvan Lake & Area Serenity Pet Shelter Society, and would that be all right … all she needed were some bro-chures and business cards.

These were duly delivered with gratitude. Later that day, at the Farmers’ Market on Main Street,

Mandalynn Beamish and Ashelen Gonzalez delivered to our booth, $52.37 AND the most adorable sign they had made themselves.

We were so thrilled and so grateful – thank you girls, and mom, for helping the animals … awesome!

You made our day!’Melanie Crehan,

Sylvan Lake & Area Serenity Pet Shelter Society

Dear Editor,Roads are construct-

ed with much labour and expense to allow people to drive to plac-es of importance to them. They are care-fully designed to facili-tate uninterrupted ease of access to homes and businesses. Roadways themselves are not sup-posed to be parks, parking lots or com-mon use spaces.

Do not be fooled into thinking that by closing roads, such as main street, to host special events you will generate new vitality in the area.

The main reason downtown has become

somewhat of a ghost town is because ease of access onto main street through the Highway 11/781 intersection was closed.

There are several large parks, parking lots and numerous vacant buildings in which to host these special events without denying people the ability to drive through the downtown core. It is not that they are lazy, they just want access to where they want to go. Anything less frustrates them even if it is a free three ring circus block-ing the road!

If simple unrestrict-ed access is not always

provided businesses will continue to leave and new ones may open but will not last long. Special events are nice and draw a crowd, but this does not translate into extra sales for established businesses at the expense of clos-ing the road and frus-trating their regular customers.

Also, people who are trying to go other plac-es in town and run into a frustrating dead end think they are at the Lacombe Corn Maze instead of Sylvan Lake.

Craig Little, Sylvan Lake

Don’t close roads for special events

Power tripping most dangerous and destructive

by Aleisha BoschSylvan Lake News

Country Drive, an organization of rural central Alberta busi-nesses, held its annual Summer Showcase Weekend Aug. 11-12. Those taking part in the self-guided tour were able to explore the country close to Red Deer and visit farms, museums, and artisans.

Sisters Crystal Selk and Anita Merritt from Ponoka were among those participating. The pair like to drive around Alberta, taking road trips on a regular basis.

Selk and Merritt had taken part in the Spring Showcase Weekend June 2-3. They enjoyed the drive so much they decided to do it again in the summer after see-ing how many places there were to visit.

“There’s enough things that are close enough together that it

doesn’t take too long,” said Merritt. Selk added that it would be a good family trip.

Markerville was at the top of their list this time, because of the annual Cream Day, said Merritt. They also vis-ited Vitality Crystals and Fountains near Bowden, the Bowden Sunmaze, Edgar Farms near Innisfail, and Stephansson House.

“If you’re going to spend time, you can hit three or four per day,” said Merritt. Selk added that the weekend offered good specials on things they wouldn’t normally see or do.

Merritt said they started talking about taking part in the sum-mer event in June. They like how the weekends coincide with special days at some of the businesses, such as Markerville’s Cream Day, or Asparagus Day at Edgar Farms.

Though the drive is self-directed, Selk said she liked how it acted as a guide for their drive. She also said they dis-covered other rural businesses that weren’t part of the drive while enroute to their desti-nation.

Kirsten Strand, lead historical interpreter at Stephansson House, said every Country Drive partner presented a different piece of rural central Alberta.

“What we show here is basically how Alberta started out,” said

Strand.She said Stephansson

House’s theme for the weekend was cabins, conservation, and cakes. Those visiting Stephansson House were able to build their own model log cabin out of paper, or taste

cake made in the house’s wood-fired oven. The emphasis on conserva-tion referred to the house’s focus on pre-serving history.

“We just remind people that without putting emphasis on history, things like this are lost,” said Strand.

Strand said visitor numbers increased dur-ing the weekend, which she attributed to Cream Day in nearby Markerville.

Showcase weekends happen four times a year, with one for each season. Liz Taylor, exec-utive director of Tourism Red Deer, said the weekends allow participating businesses to plan special events and attract more peo-ple.

“They get exposure they wouldn’t get inde-pendently,” said Taylor.

The weekend was promoted on the Country Drive website,

and in local media. “Working as a group

is a lot harder than working individually, but it’s a lot more rewarding,” said Taylor. “It makes them a lot stronger.”

She added that Country Drive partners work together to mar-ket themselves as a clus-ter, instead of as a single business in the country.

Taylor said people have come from cities like Calgary to partici-pate in the weekend.

“So the city are com-ing out to the rural,” said Taylor. “It’s really celebrating rural life.”

While Country Drive is not organized by Tourism Red Deer, Taylor said they do sup-port it. She said she hopes those taking part in the weekend enjoyed the time they spent in the country and the opportunity to sample different products.

Special toSylvan Lake News

Ernie Beskowiney’s dream of building a model steam engine railroad in his rural backyard near Eckville keeps chugging right along.

Lacombe County’s municipal planning commission condition-ally approved a devel-opment permit to allow Beskowiney to go ahead with his plan to build a one-eighth scale model railway track, complete with a working steam-powered miniature locomotive, at its Aug. 9 meeting.

Beskowiney has

spent years making the engine, a replica of the 6060 series U1F Mountain Type 4-8-2 locomotive that is one of the engines used by Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions out of Stettler.

The plan is to lay out 1,500 metres of track and to give the public rides on the miniature train similar to those found in amusement parks. Two big fundraising events are planned each year to benefit Alberta’s two children’s hospitals. Outside those events, the site will be open to the public on a drop-in basis and for educa-

tional purposes.Beskowiney esti-

mates he is still at least two or three years away from having his minia-ture railway up and going.

“There’s a tremen-dous amount of work to be done,” he said. “I have no cars yet. I’m still working on the engines.”

Beskowiney has invested thousands of hours over the last five or six years painstak-ingly creating the com-ponents for his diesel-powered steam engines and assembling them into amazingly accurate replicas of their giant inspirations.

He already has the rails and the ties he will need. He will start working on the a layout for the tracks when the crop comes off this fall on a 7.9 hectare site off Range Road 3-0.

When fully devel-oped, the site will be landscaped and feature model buildings. There will also be barns for the rolling stock, a sta-tion and a covered area for guests.

The province’s chil-dren’s hospitals have already expressed their enthusiasm for the idea of taking part in twice yearly two-day fund-raising events.

Benalto & Area Rural Crime Watch Society (BARCWS) donated $200 to Sylvan Lake & District Victim Services Association, last Wednesday. The victim services unit serves the same geographical area as Sylvan Lake RCMP who are in partnership with both of these non-profit organizations. Benalto & Area RCWS strongly supports the victim services goal of helping victims (and families) of tragedy and crime in getting their lives back on track. Jennifer Plotnikoff, program coordinator, Sylvan Lake & District Victim Services accepted the cheque from Yvette Brideau, president of BARCWS while Sylvan Lake RCMP Sgt. Michelle Boutin and Angela Kinzed, assistant coordinator of Sylvan Lake & District Victim Services shared the moment. DAVE MORE

Lacombe County approves back yard railroad

by Brenda Kossowan

Black Press

Debi McGrath had refused to go in the water ever since her son nearly died of a heart attack while they were swimming together on Friday, May 13, 2011.

Then, at about 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, she dove off the pier at Sylvan Lake to join Austin, 22, for the last few minutes of a 7.5-kilometre swim he had just completed in front of his mom, his dad, Darryl and a few dozen others in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Red Deer area office.

Austin said after-ward that he didn’t real-ize at first that the per-son who jumped in with him was his mother, who was deeply trau-matized by his heart attack and was unable to watch him train for Saturday’s event.

“I was surprised. She wouldn’t even go near the water. I was going to cry, but I held it in because I didn’t want to cry in front of hundreds of people,” said Austin, wolfing down his sev-enth hamburger paddy since stroking his way across the southeast side of the lake and back.

He had expected to swim five kilometres in about three or four hours with the hope of raising $5,000 to $10,000 to support Heart and Stroke Foundation research and programs.

He ended up swim-ming farther than expected and in less time, completing the swim in 3.5 hours total time, including a break on the accompanying sailboat to have a lunch and rehydrate.

Debi couldn’t watch.

Helping organizers get her son’s project underway, the Red Deer mother’s hands shook and she fought back tears as she described the ordeal her only child had overcome in the months since his heart attack and the discovery that he is affected by a genetic heart disorder.

Austin turned 21 in hospital on May 23, 2011 — unconscious and struggling to sur-vive.

As his medical con-dition stabilized, he had to relearn how to sit up, how to talk and how to walk.

Few people on the pier for his swim on Saturday were more amazed than Red Deer emergency services technician Tom Patrick, who was the first

responder to the scene that fateful day at the Red Deer Rec Centre, where mom and son had gone to swim lengths together.

Patrick had not seen McGrath since the day he and other members of his team were called to the pool, where they found an apparently lifeless man on the deck.

Another swimmer and a lifeguard had been performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while awaiting the ambulance. The emer-gency medical services team had to defibrillate three times to get the young athlete’s heart started.

Austin was rushed to hospital in Red Deer and then transferred to Foothills Hospital in

Calgary, where he began what should have been a very long period of recovery.

Patrick volunteered his time on Saturday to ride along in an accom-panying sailboat in case of a medical emergency. He had been on vaca-tion the day the family came by to thank mem-bers of his crew for their help, so found it “really rewarding” to get a chance to meet Austin and join his support crew.

“We go through our careers and, a lot of the time, we see stuff that doesn’t really have a positive outcome like this,” said Patrick.

“This is a true testa-ment to his lifestyle before he had his inci-dent. He was a healthy guy, he worked out all

the time and took care of himself. I think it really helped him recov-er. We’re just a small link in the chain.”

Sylvan Lake nurse Gail Foreman — a vocal activist in her role with Action on Smoking and Health — coached Austin through the swim from the seat of her kayak while her husband, Phil Foreman piloted the boat, pow-ered by its outboard engine.

With her son safely ashore, Debi said her impromptu decision to jump into the water may help her get back into the water again and resume working out with her son, who had been an award-winning swimmer and martial artist before his col-lapse.

“Everybody was kind of telling me I needed to

jump in the lake and swim back with him,” she said afterward.

“I think this has been very therapeutic for me, to watch him swim.”

Tammy Oliver-McCurdie, area manag-er for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, said Austin met his fund-raising goal of $10,000 at 2:34 p.m., just 15 minutes before he returned to the pier from where his swim had started earlier in the day.

“He’s done a great job, mobilizing this entire event,” said McCurdie.

Interviewed before getting into the water, Austin said it was never really about the money.

“It was more about the story getting out. I kind of surpassed what everybody thought I could do. I’m supposed

to still be in the hospi-tal, in rehab. It’s just people telling me I can’t do something. Well, I can. I just prove them wrong.”

A graduate of Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High, Austin plans to upgrade his education at Red Deer College so he can gain admission to an engineering program.

While he doesn’t believe he has changed since his heart attack, he said his outlook on life definitely has.

“It’s a life-changing experience. It opens your eyes to all of the opportunities you have. Waking up every day, even having your mom yell at you, it’s like, ‘I’m really yelling at you, but I still love you.’”

I can only imagine what summer residents think after being away all winter?

Returning to Sylvan Lake they must be amazed at the amount of growth, the homes and businesses sprouting up throughout the com-munity, the extensive public works and town infrastructure projects.

Returning from three weeks away from Sylvan Lake, we decided to take

a quick journey along the roads to see for ourselves the sights we were hearing about from readers and friends.

It didn’t take long to find the sur-est sign of growth — the heavy equipment working along the lake-shore or erecting buildings and cut-ting new roads in expanding or new subdivisions.

Here’s a selection of pictures for some of our residents who may not have taken the time to explore our community.

The changing face of Sylvan

The walls were being erected on an industrial building on Cuendet Industrial Way, Monday.

Memorial Trail is closed from 50th Street east to Highway 20 as work continues to improve the road which will eventually be a major route linking the west end of town to the east end.

Preparation is underway for laying of services in the town’s newest subdivision, Crestview, on the east side of 50th Street just south of Pierview.

Another row housing building is going up in the Four Seasons Harbour complex across 43rd Street from C. P. Blakely School.

Construction is continuing on row housing units on Rafferty Court, an area just south of Ryders Square which is filling up quickly.

The first duplex in the new Westpine Estates subdi-vision off of 60th Street in the town’s west end is showing real progress.

Every day the appearance of the new town hall and civic administration building changes as workers strive to get the building closed in before the winter weather hits. The project is pretty much on sched-uled according to Ron Lebsack, director and leisure and protective services.

New roads are being prepared in the Beacon Hill subdivision. STEVE DILLS PHOTOS

A Rainy Creek family was honoured with the Golden Furrow Award on Saturday Sunnybrook Farm Museum in Red Deer.

The award, created in 2005 to recognize and honour the agricultural pioneers of Central Alberta, was presented to the Nelson family who have a long history in the region.

Glen Nelson was “very honoured and surprised” to receive the award from Red Deer historian Michael Dawe. It had been kept a secret from him, said his wife Pearl. “We didn’t tell him until he got there and saw his family was being hon-oured.”

His sisters Lois Eaton, Beryl Abbott, Marina Becker and Donna Richards, all from Red Deer attended as did the Nelson’s daughter Jane Moore who farms west of Bentley. Their other three

children were unable to attend due to holidays scheduled many months ago. Other family in attendance included grandchildren as well as descendants of other branches of the family.

Pearl said the presen-tation was made during the Pioneer Days Festival at the farm museum. That included demonstrations, tractor pulls, pancake breakfast, a parade of old tractors, homemade pie and ice cream among other things.

“It was a delightful day,” she said. Events con-tinued on Sunday. One of the highlights for Glen was a steam engine from the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin.

Glen Nelson’s grand-parents, Nels and Maren Nelson, settled in the Rainy Creek district in 1902, and Glen and Pearl Nelson have spent their entire lives operating a mixed farm where they still live today, according to Ian Warwick, executive director of Sunnybrook Farm Museum.

The citation for the winning family reads:

“The Nelson family first emigrated to Canada and settled in the Rainy Creek district in 1902. Nels S. Nelson was born in 1864 in Jutland, Denmark, and married Maren (Steiner) Nelson who was born in 1867, also in Denmark.

“Their son Frank Nelson was born in 1898 in Pipestone, Minnesota, and married Doris (Wyatt) Nelson who was born in 1905 in Sutton, Quebec. The Wyatt fami-ly had settled in the Rainy Creek district in 1913 where Frank and Doris met.

“Their son Glen Nelson was born in 1931 in Bentley, Alberta. Glen went to high school in Red Deer, and later mar-ried Pearl Swainson of the Burnt Lake district in 1954. They have four children: Brad, Jane, Holly and Beverley. Glen Nelson has operated a mixed farm all his life, where he and Pearl still live.

“Originally he farmed with his father Frank, and later with his brother Jim Nelson and his son Brad. Their daughter Jane cur-rently owns and operates a cow-calf operation west of Bentley.

“In 2004, on Glen and Pearl’s 50th wedding anniversary, the couple was presented with Lacombe County’s 100 year farm family recogni-tion.

“One of Glen’s suc-cesses in the agricultural field is his ability to design and fabricate trac-tor cabs, cranes, and hop-per-bottom bins.

“Glen Nelson’s volun-teer contributions to the community are numer-ous, including his 15 years as a delegate with Alberta Wheat Pool, nine years as a Lacombe County councillor, four years as a member of

Lacombe Regional Hospital Board. He was instrumental in forma-tion of Gull Lake Gas Co-op and served as sec-retary-treasurer for 10 years, along with many years volunteering with the UFA on numerous committees.

“Glen served for 42 years in various board and committee positions with Bentley United Church, for eight years as

secretary-treasurer of Bentley Arena building committee, 15 years on Rainy Creek Community Hall Board, and some-how found time to coach hockey for 14 years.

“His service to the community and his dedi-cation to the field of agri-culture are being cele-brated today with the presentation of the 2012 Golden Furrow Award.”

Motocross racer Gage Matwiy, 10, gained new experienc-es, new friends, and new knowledge from his first national com-petition.

The Sylvan Lake racer competed in the Parts Canada TransCan Amateur Grand National Champ-ionship Motocross in Walton, Ontario, last week. Out of three rounds and 26 compet-itors, Gage came in 22nd, 15th, and 19th, said his mother Natasha. He had an overall standing of 19th in his division.

“It was really, really

hard. I didn’t expect it to be that hard. It was a learning experience and I’m excited for next year to go,” Gage said. He added that he

learned to be more aggressive, and to stand up more on his bike while riding.

“The track was in mint condition. It felt

really good. It was very fluid,” he said.

He felt good about competing with the top riders from Alberta, Canada and the United States.

“I’m proud of him. He rode really well and he learned a lot from the experience,” said Natasha. She added that the racetrack was new to him, and diffi-cult.

According to the event website, Canadian racers qualify after rid-ing in Amateur National Qualifiers races. Each province has a certain number of spaces avail-able. Alberta has seven positions.

“I’m proud of him because he still was one of the top kids to make it to the race,” said Natasha. “He has proved his riding to be competing against that calibre of other riders.”

Gage was chosen to participate in a compe-tition pitting racers from Eastern and Western Canada against each other, held the last day of the champion-ship. He said he was chosen because he had

raced hard and because he had stayed for the entire competition. Eastern Canada ended up winning.

To prepare for the event, Gage worked on racing technique and core strength.

“I think I was pretty well-prepared. I ate lots of healthy snacks this weekend,” he said.

Competitors and their families camped in a field near the race-track. Natasha said Gage met a lot of new friends, all of whom

were encouraging of each other.

“They’re all moto-cross buddies and they ride hard,” she said.

The Grand Amateur Nationals took place Aug. 14-19. Professional riders took to the track the last day, and Gage was able to meet them after.

“It was a fun experi-ence and something we’re really looking for-ward to coming back to next year,” said Natasha. “The whole experience, being out on the track

with the other riders, it was just phenomenal.”

Natasha said Gage is grateful to his support-ers and sponsors, including Trilliant Real Estate Group, Complete Athlete, Showdown Merchandising, Turple Bros. Ltd., Sonic Welding, TRT Welding Services, Whaler Industrial, Printwerx, Philsner Welding, DC Crane Services, Hazard County Fitting and Welding, No Weaklings Racing, and especially his parents.

Sylvan Lake Municipal Library is hosting a medieval demonstra-tion at the end of the summer.

Janet Renzetti, Chatelaine for the Shire of Bitter End, will be coming to our library with a crew of volunteers to demonstrate medieval fashions, weapons, and technologies.

Want to learn about, and see, medieval dances? Curious about different types of weaponry? Want to know about knights, peasants, chainmail, and more? Come down to the library on Saturday from 2:30-5:00 to take part in this awesome demonstra-tion!

A free program for all ages, this demo will be sure to educate and entertain parents and chil-

dren alike. For parents, if your children

It’s been six yearsSince the crash by the lakeWho knew, way back then

That’s a step you would take.To shift from this earth

To a more enlightened placeAnd from there you assist

Those who remember your face.Thank you Ben, for the waysThat you brighten my days

Being the mother of an angelHas inspired me in many ways.

There are many who remember youAnd smile when they do
