Guide Dog Enzo a ‘lifeline’ to Central Alberta man

2016 Purina Walk for Guide Dogs a great success for a good cause

Nothing beats a day at the dog park.

On Sunday the Sylvan Lake and District Lions Club held their annu-al Purina Walk for Guide Dogs at the dog park on Memorial Trail and 60 Street.

The event, which raised just under $3,000 this year, attracted several members of the community and their furry friends – all with the goal to help raise money to support those in need of guide dogs across Canada.

Diane Ireland, a resident of Norglenwold, was one of those community mem-bers.

“I wanted to support the community, animals and the people that need guide dogs,” she said “This helps. Every little penny helps.”

She added that the guide dogs are “beautiful high-strung animals that make all the difference in peo-ples lives.”

There are six types of guide dogs that are trained at the Lions’ Club School for dogs, according to Suzanne Leshchyshyn, Lions Club member and the organizer of the walk. These include vision, hearing, seizure re-sponse, diabetic alert, au-tism and special skills.

Each of these types of dog cost more then $10,000 to be trained and matched, according to Leshchyshyn.

“We want people to be more aware that this pro-

gram is out there because it is run entirely on dona-tion,” she explained.

The program has been running for over 31 years and has raised over $10,000 in the three years that it has been in Sylvan Lake. The program provides guide dogs for people who need them free of charge.

One of the individuals who was provided a guide dog was Don Scorah who lost his sight after a motor vehicle in the 1980’s.

“He is my lifeline,” Scorah said. “Enzo and I are matched up because I am a very fast walker.”

After being matched, Don was told that poodles

do not bond as readily as other breeds but, to the surprise of the Foundation, after two days — Don and Enzo were inseparable.

“He just frees up my life,” he said. “I live alone with Enzo and I have differ-ent programs that I am involved with. “He has opened my life so I can do that stuff.”

Enzo’s intelligence con-tinues to amaze Scorah daily.

“This guy is so smart. If I say ‘fi nd a washroom’, he fi nds me a washroom. If I say ‘fi nd me a garbage can’, he’ll fi nd me a garbage can,” Scorah said.

He added that Enzo also keeps him safe by checking both ways at traffi c lights. Although the foundation says they are unable to do so, Scorag explained Enzo can tell when the traffi c light is green.

After the accident, Scorah said he had a hard adjust-ment but with Enzo he “doesn’t even think about not being able to see.”

If you would like more information on either the Purina Walk for Guide Dogs or on more information about the Guide Dog pro-gram, you can visit the Lions Club national web-site or speak with any Lions club member.

Leshchyshyn added that next years walk date will be set very soon and that she is thankful to every-one who has participated in some way to make this event possible.

Rock the Block

The Town of Sylvan Lake wants you to know your neighbours in the homes next to you.

On Saturday, May 28 – FCSS Youth Services held their fi rst Block Party of the Summer, which was intended to raise awareness on how Block Parties can posi-tively affect your community.

FCSS Youth Services Supervisor Krista Carlson said the project came about after her staff conducted a survey of Grade 4-6 students.

“What we learned was that kids were not feeling engaged in their neighborhoods,” she said. “They were not feeling safe in their neighborhoods, they didn’t know their neighbors, they didn’t feel like their neighbors cared about them.

The event was part of the FCSS initiative SPARC, which stands for Strengthening Positive Assets and Resiliency in Communities. The role of SPARC is to “educate the community on the 40 dvel-

opmental assets and to support initiatives and organizations in using positive youth development framework,” according to their website.

“What SPARC aims to do is bring aware-ness to the community about how we all take a role in raising our kids,” said Carlson.

The fi rst kick off party showcased this ability to create awareness by encouraging people to sign up to host their own block parties.

“We have created a neighborhood tool kit that people can pick up and it gives them really simple ideas on how to host their own block parties,” Carlson said.

She added the kits include a registration sheet that allows Lakers to register their parties with FCSS, which gives them the opportunity to borrow activity kits — which includes items like tug-of-war ropes, para-chutes and other games.

There are also instructions on how to apply for a permit to block off your street should you wish to do so.

“We want to people to keep it simple so it can be no cost,” Carlson said. “It can be

everyone bring their own meat or salad – you can do it for $100 easily.”

The kick-off party was looking to spark excitement for these block parties and the event included bouncy castles, skateboard competitions and a barbecue – which was put on by volunteers from the Sylvan Lake and District Lion’s Club.

Phil Norris – a local Lions Club member who helped cook up hot dogs and ham-burgers for the crowd of over 300 people — was excited about the turnout.

“Oh it was terrifi c,” he said. “Lots of hun-gry people plus it’s people that are really enjoying themselves. They are here to have fun with their kids and families.”

He added the “inside [the gym] was just wild with kids jumping around the bouncy castles.”

Jason Corbeil, a visitor to Sylvan Lake, joined his kids for the fun inside.

“The kids are having a blast,” he said, while adding that he was a little out of shape to keep up to them in the castles.

“The kids love the bouncy castles. It’s all about what they want.”

Carlson added that the “skateboard park was thriving” with kids doing skateboard competitions and that Town Council was also at the event letting people know about their upcoming social master plan.

“There is just a lot of things for kids to do and for their parents to get involved with,” she said.

The feedback, according to Carlson, was positive and that 10 people had already signed up on Saturday to host their own block party.

“After today, we are hoping to see little block parties pop up around the commu-nity,” she said. “We are asking people to give us feedback about their block parties and how successful they were. If people need help to get started – we are here to support that.”

She added that getting to know your neighbors makes for a safer, more engaged community.

Sylvan Lake News welcomesTodd Colin Vaughan to

editorial teamA return to the prairies

Hello and good tidings from a returning expat of Central Alberta.

My name is Todd Colin Vaughan and I am a writer, reporter

Leaving on a positive note

It is hard to know where to begin when de-scribing my experience with the Sylvan Lake News and Eckville Echo. In one word - amazing.

Looking back over the last year and eight months my job has led me to learn a lot about myself, life and how much fun it can be to be a reporter.

Working for the Sylvan Lake News I discovered my love for sports reporting. This led me to develop many memorable work relationships with several football and hockey coaches.

I don’t think I will ever forget looking through my raw video footage of football games and fi nding a clip of a player running my way and hearing my own voice yelling ‘Go, Go, Go!’. I think back on that and smile each time.

I won’t ever forget attending a Tigers and Lakers hockey game.

I remember being at one of the Laker’s last hockey games and jumping up and down when the winning goal was scored 20 seconds

to the end of the third period. I remember my camera bouncing up and down and I jumped for joy.

Being at the arena and seeing the boys play their hearts out on the ice and winning most of their games was such a joy to be a part of.

The coaches were also so nice and let me stand in where the players were so I could take clear pictures without the diffi culty of shooting through the glass. I took advantage of this and gave the players a high fi ve whenever they scored. I had to make a fi st whenever they came at me with their gloved hands.

Covering the Eckville Eagles midget team was always a pleasure as the chances were good that the team would win. The head coach was always more than willing to speak to me about the highlights of the game as well.

Being the main reporter for Eckville I have developed a liking for covering Town Council meetings. I have covered Town Council meet-ings in other towns, but they were never as interesting or as welcoming to be at.

When covering Council I really felt I was a part of the meeting itself, even though I made sure to sit quiet and just type my notes.

The council and it’s members were won-derful to work with and despite my age they always treated me as professional.

I have been volunteering for the Eckville Fire Department for about a year and a half

now. Learning how to be a fi rst responder has served me well and has become a signifi cant part of my life.

Being a reporter always came fi rst, but hav-ing the chance to be a fi refi ghter and being able to attend calls meant so much to me.

I learned how to balance the two but not mix them.

I am grateful to have acquired this skill. It taught me that when I am in my fi re gear, fi re fi ghter mode switches on and that is who I am in that moment. For the time I am in my gear to the time I leave it, I’m not thinking about being a reporter - in that moment I am only a fi re fi ghter.

Working for both newspapers has been a tremendously valuable experience. I am glad to be leaving on a happy note.

I have strongly appreciated all the people in both towns that I have built working relation-ships with. I appreciate the time they have taken out of their busy schedules to speak with me.

Now it is time to say good bye. Thank you, to all of the community members I have come to know over the past two years - it has been a true honour.

BY TODD COLIN VAUGHANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

and storyteller coming back to the roost that hatched me, after hav-ing received a Bachelor of Communications in Journalism at Mount Royal University. It was here that I cultivated a love of the written word that I hope will inform and entertain the readers of the Sylvan Lake News and the Eckville Echo.

I was born and raised in Red Deer, AB and in-stantly formed a bond, as most Central Albertans do, with the communi-ties that make up the vibrant mosaic of the re-gion. Through my work at these newspapers in Sylvan Lake and Eckville, I hope to add to and ex-press thoroughly the voices of the people that contribute to this mosaic.

I feel that it is import-ant for the readers to know a little about the motivations of the peo-ple that represent their community. By express-ing my passions and in-terests, it is my hope that the care and dedication I put into my personal life comes through in my professional life and con-sequently, through the words I share with you.

My personal interests started at a young age mostly through the expe-rience of amateur sport. I have had a passion for basketball from a very young age. which taught me valuable lessons of fair play and teamwork. These lessons have guid-ed me into adulthood and it is through these values that I look forward

to covering the sports, health and fi tness issues that affect the peoples of these communities.

After graduating from Hunting Hills High School in 2005, I was under the impression that I wanted to be a historian. While the lessons I learned at Red Deer College and the University of Calgary pro-vided me with a rich un-derstanding of historical perspective and political awareness, it did not pro-vide me with a sense of purpose that I was look-ing for.

It was at this point that I decided to switch my focus to journalism, which allowed me to not only diversify and ex-press my love for poli-tics, education, sport and entertainment – but also

develop new skills like photography, videogra-phy and editorial.

I look forward to pro-viding a balanced and in-formed viewpoint of the issues facing the com-munities I serve and it is my hope that the sto-ries I share will result in people taking action and engaging with the world around them.

In a world where the written word is drowned out by instant gratifi ca-tion and celebrity cul-ture, it is my hope that the product I produce for you is thoughtful, con-cise, accurate, entertain-ing and challenging.

Thank you for allowing me to be a voice in your communities and I look forward to working with you all.

NDP Carbon Tax bill will make life harder for families at a time they can

least afford itThe NDP government’s new carbon tax

bill will just make things worse for families and businesses with increased costs at a time they can least afford it, the Wildrose Offi cial Opposition said today.

With Alberta’s economy contracting by over 4 per cent during the past year, Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said this new NDP carbon tax is the last thing families are asking for around their kitchen tables.

“Albertans are hurting across the province and many families are waking up wonder-ing if they will be able to hold on to their job by the end of the month,” Jean said. “An

aggressive carbon tax that simply squeezes families and businesses for every spare penny will not help people pay their mort-gages or get back to work. Without acting in concert with competing economies here in North America, this tax will just make it more diffi cult for our economy to recover.”

The carbon tax will also come with a big price tag for Alberta’s charitable, health and education sectors, none of whom have been exempted from the carbon tax. Alberta’s municipalities will also be forced to cover higher costs without exemptions.

Wildrose Shadow Electricity & Renewables

Minister Don MacIntyre said he was disap-pointed with the lack of information from today’s announcement detailing where and how the billions of dollars in new spending will be allocated.

“The NDP government is asking the aver-age household in Alberta to be poorer be-cause of this carbon tax, but won’t outline where every dollar will be spent,” MacIntyre said. “Wildrose will be working hard in the legislature to oppose this legislation and put forward amendments that protect Albertans from seeing higher taxes and higher costs.”

Dementia advice now offered

provincially through Health Link

Specialized service expands to

support patients, caregivers in

Edmonton and Calgary Zones

Individuals and caregivers living with dementia, includ-ing people with Alzheimer’s disease, will benefi t now that Alberta Health Services (AHS) has expanded its specialized dementia advice service through Health Link to include Edmonton and Calgary Zones.

By dialing 811 — any time, any day — callers will reach Health Link staff who can assess their needs and pro-vide immediate advice for their health concerns. When needed, callers can also be referred to a specialized de-mentia nurse for additional support. The dementia advice service launched in North, Central and South Zones in September 2015.

Specialized dementia nurses can provide a more in-depth assessment to gain an understanding of each individual situation and provide personalized support and advice, as well as connect callers to available community services and supports.

“Providing funding for the development and expansion of dementia advice through Health Link was essential to meet the growing needs of Albertans touched by dementia and Alzheimer’s,” says Sarah Hoffman, Minister of Health. “Ensuring support is available 24/7 for 365 days a year, regardless of geography, is an important step in ensuring people with dementia and their families and caregivers have access to the care they need, when they need it.”

Currently, about 40,000 Albertans are living with dementia, a syndrome that affects their memory, thinking, orien-tation, judgment and ability to carry out daily activities.

The number of dementia cases is expected to more than double in Alberta as the baby boom generation moves into older age. By 2038, it is estimated that about one in 10 Albertans over the age of 65, and nearly half over age 90, will be living with dementia.

“Initially, the service was provided in the rural zones because we determined this was the greatest and most immediate area of need,” says Lara Osterreicher, Director of Operations for Health Link. “Typically, rural and remote areas don’t have access to the same level of services as our urban centres so we worked to get dementia advice to these areas fi rst. We’re very pleased to have now expanded the service throughout Alberta.”

With support from Alberta Health, Health Link worked with AHS’ Seniors Health Strategic Clinical Network (SCN) to develop and launch the service.

“The progression of dementia is unpredictable and care needs can change rapidly,” says Scott Fielding, Senior Provincial Director, Strategic Clinical Networks. “Having access to services and supports at the right time can make the difference between a person being able to remain at home with loved ones or having to move to a higher level of care.”

By better supporting individuals and caregivers, the new dementia advice service also aims to reduce the number of emergency department visits for dementia-related concerns.

Since the service began in North, Central and South Zones last September, Health Link has provided specialized dementia advice to more than 250 Albertans.

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Old habits die hardWe all know the saying:

‘Old habits die hard’ and it really is true.

Once we have a habit in place, a way of being or doing something that we are accustomed to and familiar with, there is often no reason to change. Sometimes we realize that a habit is non supportive so we want to change it, but instead we are often times met with a much more dif-fi cult problem than we had initially thought.

So the saying makes sense and the older the habit, the harder to break. Some of these habits are pretty easy to identify, like smoking for example. Everyone knows it is bad and toxic, but if you are a smoker, that can be one really hard habit to break.Not only are there chemical addiction elements, but there are social (friends, locations) and physical habits (hand to mouth) too.

The habit of going out with friends at a bar and they are all smoking, so the habit claws at you. I had a coworker a long time ago that had quit smoking cold turkey at New Year’s after being a smoker most of his life because it was killing him and he knew it. He was fi ne for fi ve months and then the long weekend arrived. Camping, sitting around the fi re, all of his old friends around - he couldn’t resist that feedback. You guessed it - he started smoking again.

Several years later he had a heart attack, and quit smok-ing for good. Those social and environmental elements are powerful. One way to quit smoking or any bad habit is to not quit. Instead of trying to quit the negative habit, start a new habit that will oppose the old one. Set yourself up to have a large glass of water before every cigarette, donut or whatever. You are not allowed to have one, until you fi nish a large glass of water. This works several ways: fi rst off, water is good for you. It hydrates your muscles and all of your cells, plus it helps fl ush out toxins and really makes everything run better.

After your fourth, fi xth or twentieth glass of water - depending on the habit you are trying to break - you will start to feel differently about the non supportive habit. You will start to not want to have a smoke or donut or whatever, because it means another glass of water and you are pretty tired of peeing every 30 seconds. As long as you keep the agreement in place, the non supportive habit will fade and you will be well hydrated. Not a bad thing.

As for the social triggers? Well, you might need to get your friends to help, maybe even change your friends, or your hang outs. I know that is hard, but it is a requirement if you are going to outgrow those old habits.There isn’t a cool saying about it, but if there was, it might be: ‘New Habits Start Hard’. It is just as true as the old habits saying.

I am left-handed and fi ve months ago I sprained two fi ngers, my wrist, broke my left arm in half and shattered my left shoulder in a crash. I used to think I was ambi-dextrous. Right, not nearly as much as I thought I was. I had to relearn to brush my teeth, eat with utensils, open doors, drive, type on a computer, and so much more. I had no idea it would be so hard, but after fi ve months I am getting better at it.

Once the doctors pull the steel out of my body and I get my range of motion back after a few months of physiotherapy, I should be able to see what old habits I can get back to and which new ones I will keep. To this day though, I still reach for stuff with my left hand, even though I cannot extend it far enough to perform the task and I know that - old habits are strong.

When coaching a person to swim or relearn how to run properly with a style that is non destructive, I always say one of my favourite sayings: practice makes permanent. To learn a new skill like swimming, you have to perform it well 10,000 times. On a more practical term, one of the bigger studies shows that up to 254 days of the new habit are required before it is solid, whether it is going to the gym, eating well, saying no to junk food or quitting smoking.

So choose your habits wisely, they are worth paying attention to.

Happy Training!Scott

Let It GoI’m not writing about building a snowman, rather I’m writing about building yourself up by knowing your worth. We are all unique. We all have talents, skills, and abilities whether we are aware of them or not. Sometimes we can be our own worst critic. I’m here to remind you or tell you for the fi rst time that you are worth it! I believe the greatest disservice we can do to ourselves is give up on our dreams.

I have just recently watched Eddie the Eagle. It is a new movie out in theatres based on an inspiring true story of an

Olympian. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but Eddie had a dream to be a ski jumper and even though the odds were not in his favour he kept pursuing his dream because he knew he was worth it and it was worth it. With that in mind, let go of the “haters”; let go of your insecurities and know that you are worth it. What would the world look like if everyone was convinced that their dreams are worth fi ghting for? Dreams don’t have an expiration date. So get up, get going, and make those dreams a reality. Start now because you deserve it!

30th annual Seniors Week set to kick off Monday

Seniors Week is set to kick off on Monday June 6 at 4:30 p.m. with a barbeque supper sponsored by the Flipside Youth Centre.

BY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The event will feature a unique intergenerational aspect, which will see the youth of Sylvan Lake team-ing up to pay tribute to the seniors in the community.

Along with what is sure to be a delicious meal, the barbeque will also play host to a number of perform-ers from the House of Music who are set to perform for the seniors in attendance.

Seniors Week, now entering their 30th anniversary year in Sylvan Lake, aims to recognize and appreciate the many outstanding contributions seniors are mak-ing in the community.

“Many seniors come out each year and enjoy the social aspect of the activities,” explained Maryan Weenink, organizer of the events. “They are apprecia-tive of the support from the community through such things as sponsorships of events and donations. In terms of our health and wellness, the social aspect is a huge part of that.”

Tuesday morning will see the day kick off with a pancake breakfast being held from 9-11 a.m. at the Sylvan Lake Seniors Centre with the annual Walk the Talk event being held from 1-2:30 p.m.

“We’ve been working for the last few years to in-crease the intergenerational portion of senior’s week,” explained Weenink. “This year we are doing the bar-beque with the Flipside Youth Centre as well as con-tinuing on with our Walk The Talk event.”

The Walk the Talk event sees seniors being paired with a youth on a light walk by the lake. Along the path the senior and youth paired together will fi nd questions to ask one another. The event aims to bridge the generational gaps that are often found in today’s society.

Wednesday will see the community gather once more at the Seniors Centre for a roast beef dinner be-

ginning at 5:30 p.m. The event will once again fea-ture musicians from the House of Music.

On Thursday, at 1:30p.m. the ice cream social will take place with an old fashioned sing along being planned by the se-niors, with a communi-ty bingo session taking place later in the evening with pre-call beginning at 6:30 p.m.

“Seniors are important and it is important that we keep up their partic-ipation level in the com-munity,” said Weenink. “They bring so much to the table in terms of wisdom and knowledge and in turn being able to share it with us.”

Mail Theft commonplace in Central AlbertaRCMP advises to pick up mail daily

A disturbing provincial trend has now hit all to close to home for many local residents.

On December 18 of last year, Walter Johnson went to check his Canada Post Offi ce Box on Rural Route 24 west of Sylvan Lake. To his surprise, the U-bolt on the box had been cut off and mail had been thrown around on the ground.

“I go to the Post Offi ce and they say ‘Yeah your box has been robbed’” Johnson said. “I was going away on a world-wide trip, so I couldn’t really at the time see what was missing.”

Since returning on May 12, Johnson has looked over his mail and noticed that two cheques from oil compa-nies were stolen and cashed for the sums of $16.71 and $20.38.

“The fact that really bothered me is that they forged my name and did a really good job at it,” he said.

He added that the potential identity theft if more dis-turbing then the money lost.

Johnson has since fi led a report with the RCMP and in-formed Canada Post to hold his mail. It was at this time that Johnson learned that he was not the only victim of this crime and that the box had actually been robbed several times in the last few months.

Susan Foy has had her post offi ce box broken into four times this year.

“It’s a little discouraging,” she said. “At Christmas time we lost a lot of Christmas cards and pictures of our kids and grand kids.”

According to Sylvan Lake RCMP, this type of crime has become all too common in the region and can be tricky to solve.

“These crimes are diffi cult to solve unless the suspects are caught with the stolen property,” they said. “We have had some people caught with stolen mail and when we catch them, they are charged with possession of stolen property.”

They added that since these suspects are also vandal-izing the Post Offi ce boxes, they would also be charged with mischief if they are able to connect them to the crime.

According to the RCMP, Canada Post is in the middle

TODD COLIN VAUGHANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

of a two-year project of replacing these old green post offi ce boxes with ones identical to the brown ones found within Sylvan Lake. These new boxes will have no identi-fying labels connecting the boxes to the citizen’s homes – something that was a concern to both Johnson and Foy.

An offi cial response from Canada Post media relations that was sent by email stated that “Canada Post takes the security of the mail very seriously and we’re working closely with local police in their investigation.”

“Mail theft is a federal crime, punishable of up to ten years of imprisonment”

They added that it takes determination to “deter and stop those who commit property crimes.” Canada post added that it is working closely with police to address this issue.

RCMP added that the reason this theft has become common is likely that “bad guys learn a new trick and then end up in remand where they school the rest of their friends.”

“It is not one person doing it. I think there is a whole lot of people who learn one way or another that it might be a good place to fi nd something that is worth money to them,” he stated.

Johnson has decided not to wait for the new brown boxes and has decided to move his mail to another city – something that has cost him over $300 of his personal fi nances.

“I asked the post offi ce if they can provide me an exemption of the cost since they are not providing me security of services and they said they are unable to do that,” he said. “It’s a shame rural people have to pay for security of mail coverage that is not being provided by a crown corporation.

He added that he intends to write his local MP and MLA about the situation.

The RCMP suggests to people that they should make sure that mail does not pile up in their box by checking it everyday.

held last Thursday eve-ning at Viva La Sirena on Lakeshore Drive. Organizers say the event was amazing, the food was great and the new restaurant came together in a very short time to be able to host the fund-raiser.

Davis and Sinclair gath-ered a number of unique live auction items with Sinclair also acting as Master of Ceremonies for the event.

Susan Samson, chair of the Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Committee,

Organizers wished to thank Brian Boschee from the Cooperators spon-sored the comedians.

Mike Dambra, a comedi-an put on a fabulous show and had everyone at the event roaring.

The event was spon-sored by Viva La Sirena, the Joe Sylvan Lake Facebook page and the Harbour Insurance Group - the Cooperators.

Jazz at the Lake raising funds for Urgent Care Committee

The Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Committee re-ceived a helping hand from Jazz At The Lake recently in the form of a cheque for $578.

Raised over the course of their last two concerts in the seasonal series, organizers said they felt urgent care was the right community partner for their events.

“It’s easily the most important issue facing Sylvan Lake right now,” explained Eric Allison, co-organizer of the Jazz At The Lake, with fellow organizer Cheryl Fisher adding, “Anytime that they are able to have a presence at one of our shows we hope it just helps them to further extend their message.”

Allison stated the Urgent Care Committee has done a great deal of very tough work and that Jazz At The Lake hopes to help them in any way possible.

Chair of the Urgent Care Committee, Susan Samson added she was pleased to accept the cheque and it to the trust.

“It really shows the community is behind urgent care at a time when our attention is on so many important issues such as the wildfi res in Fort McMurray,” said Samson. “People always come back to what they need in their home town.”

She added every penny raised through fundraisers like this one would go into a trust fund for when the com-mittee gets a facility. The funds will be used to augment the cost of medical equipment that might not be there otherwise.

“We are excited to know that the deputy health min-ister, Dr. Carl Amrheim has said he is coming to Sylvan Lake on June 29 and will be meeting with the Urgent Care Committee and Town Council to discuss the next steps moving forward,” said Samson. “Hopefully after that meeting we will have some good news to share with the community.”

The meeting can’t come soon enough according to Samson and organizers, with Fisher reiterating the fact

BY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

that Sylvan Lake no longer has an after hours on-call service as of Wednesday morning.

“That’s scary to think about,” said Fisher. “This means if something happens to you after 5 p.m. you will be going to a neighbouring communities hospital to be

looked at. Look at the population and how it’s growing – we feel very strongly about urgent care and we want to do everything we can to help them.”

SPORTSSPORTSLondon Knights claim Memorial Cup championship

They were the hottest team in the Canadian Hockey League coming into the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup tournament. Now, 10 days later, the London Knights are the Memorial Cup champions.

The Knights capped off an incredible 17 game winning streak that dated back to the second round of the Ontario Hockey League playoffs Sunday evening defeat-ing the QMJHL Champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 3-2 in overtime to claim their second Memorial Cup since 2005.

“It’s one of those things, it’s hard to get. It takes a lot of time and I’m just happy for the boys, they earned it all year. To win 17 in a row in playoff time, in this tournament, you’re playing the best, it’s unheard of,” said Knights’ Head Coach/GM Dale Hunter after the dramatic conclusion to the game.

Led by the dominant line of Mitch Marner, Matthew Tkachuck and Christian Dvorak, the Knights cruised to the bye into the fi nal during round robin play, posting a 3-0 record that included a 6-2 win over the Red Deer Rebels, a 9-1 trouncing of the Brandon Wheat Kings and a slightly closer 5-2 victory over the Huskies earlier in the week.

But the Huskies weren’t going to go down without a fi ght in the fi nal, as they fought the Knights every step of the way, holding

BY ZACHARY CORMIERCOURTESY OF THERED DEER EXPRESS

them scoreless in the fi rst period before taking a one goal lead halfway through the third that put London behind for the fi rst time in the tournament.

The Knights, though, would not be denied.

“You’ve just got to keep the same mindset. Being down in the third period and coming back we knew what we had to do-bear down. It’s our last game of the season and leave everything on the line,” said Knights’ goalie Tyler Parsons.

Parsons was somewhat of an unsung hero for the

Knights during the tourna-ment, leading all four goal-ies with a 1.78 goals against average and a .942 save per-centage to earn himself the Hap Emms Memorial Trophy as the Most Outstanding Goaltender at the Memorial Cup.

Parsons’ show-stopping performance on the London end of the ice gave his team a chance to make a come-back from the 2-1 defi cit.

And come back they did, as Dvorak scored his sev-enth goal of the tournament with just fi ve minutes re-maining in the third to send

the contest into overtime.“We had the momentum

on our side, getting that last minute goal there - we knew what we had to do. It came down to one shot and if we played good defense they were going to give us offensive chances,” Parsons said.

There was only one way the game could end, and after several heart-stopping close plays on both ends, the game came down to a two on one for London, with Tkachuck rifl ing in the goal heard around the hockey world.

“It’s right up there with all of the accolades, all of the awards. But it’s not about my goal. It’s about the team, it’s about the win, it’s about the 17 game winning streak, it’s about the way we carried ourselves into this tournament and the way we carried ourselves throughout this tourna-ment,” said the 18-year-old draft eligible winger of his overtime winner.

Meanwhile, the host Red Deer Rebels were happy with their performance in the tournament overall.

“I’m proud of our players.

We deserved to be in this game tonight. We had a 2-1 record and we played with this team tonight, too,” said Rebels’ Head Coach/GM Brent Sutter after his team’s 3-1 loss to the Huskies in the semi-fi nal game on Friday night.

After a 6-2 loss to London in the fi rst game of the tournament, many doubted the Rebels would be able to compete with the high octane offence that the re-spective league champions brought to the table.

That all changed after Red Deer surged to a 5-2 win over the Huskies two nights later and followed it up with a dramatic 2-1 overtime victory over the WHL champion Brandon Wheat Kings on Tuesday.

The second win was enough to clinch second place in the round-robin standings behind London and eliminate the winless Wheat Kings from the tour-nament.

It was a sweet victory for the Rebels, as their season was ended by the Wheat Kings in the WHL Eastern Conference fi nal less than a month ago.

“I guess part of it is no one has short memories. I know that we were beaten in the semis by Brandon and rightly so. They’ve got a very, very good hockey team. That’s the thing about this tournament, you can come in here and be a champion in your own league but if things don’t go exactly right you might not have success in it,” said Sutter.

Trying out for Team Alberta May 13-15 in Edmonton wasn’t easy. Hamilton said he was surprised to be chosen to play for the team adding the playing competition level is much higher.

“There’s lots of really good competition out there,” Hamilton said. “I was glad I was picked out. No one was

BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

performing poorly or anything like that. Everybody tried their hardest.”

He said there were 19 players who were invited to try out.Hamilton has been playing football since junior high.

In the recent past he has played for H.J. Cody School’s Lakers football in the fall and then plays on the Midget AAA Prairie Fire Football Club.

When playing at the Football Canada Cup Hamilton said every game matters. He explains how the competition level is higher.

“When you play in high school you can have random kids trying football for the fi rst time,” Hamilton said. “In Team Alberta you have the top 40 kids on the team in Alberta and you’re playing the top 40 kids in every other province.”

Hamilton is defi nitely looking forward to playing a higher level of competition. His goals are to perform well, play the best he can, meet new people, be noticed by other coaches and have fun.

“It’s a great opportunity. It will be lots of fun,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton said he will be playing around four games with Team Alberta.

What Hamilton loves about football is how it is a way to stay active and meet people as he describes it as a blessing and that it makes you a better person.

“It broadens your understanding of life,” Hamilton said. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you have to come together and you have to let go. It just becomes an emotional attachment.”

SPRING CLEANING - On Saturday, May 28th the Sylvan Lake Bantam Lions Football team went to Petrol Beach in Jarvis Bay after their fi rst week of spring training. Petrol beach is hosted by the Lions Club of Sylvan Lake and with the Lions club sponsoring the Lions Football team they felt it would be a good team builder and show of thanks for the continued support the team is shown every year from the Lions members and helps to clean up the beach after the winter of washed up weeds and reeds onto the beach.
