Parents and preschool-aged children in Benalto have a new option for activities. Red Deer County’s CHIPS (Children’s Indoor Play Space) program held its first session last Wednesday in the Benalto Baptist Church gym.

Running every Wednesday morning from 9:30-11:30, the program aims to provide children newborn to 4 years old the opportunity to play togeth-er, in addition to allowing parents to socialize.

The program was spearheaded by Pam Hetu, the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) district community worker for west Red Deer County.

“There isn’t a lot of

programs for children 0-4 in age. It’s great for the community because it will help area parents get out and meet other parents,” said Hetu. She added that it also allows similarly aged children to meet each other. “It’s great to have this so parents can meet other parents.”

A few parents had requested the program due to the lack of facilities for young children in Benalto, said Hetu.

“This is just one of the programs that I’m going to facilitate until it’s sustain-able,” said Hetu, who has organized a similar pro-gram in her home com-munity of Spruce View.

While still in its infan-cy, the Spruce View pro-gram has about six families that attend, said Hetu. So far, there have been posi-tive reactions to the pro-

gram, with parents excited to attend in coming weeks.

Hetu expects similar attendance numbers in Benalto as more people learn about the program.

“You just have to give it time,” she said.

CHIPS is run by volun-teers. Hetu approached Patti Sahlin, who runs the only licensed day home in Benalto, to volunteer for the program.

“Everybody has told me there’s a great need, there’s nothing and they were very happy when I agreed and said I would do this,” said Sahlin. “If we didn’t have this, there’s nothing here.”

Sahlin cares for six children at her day home, ranging in age from five months to five years. She said some of the children’s parents don’t often have the opportunity to meet other people.

“It brings out moms that don’t normally get out,” said Sahlin. “Basically we just let the parents get to know each other and the children can play.”

The CHIPS program will run from October until May. All attending families pay $4 per family per visit, which funds the facility rental.

New space lets parents

socialize while children play

Delicious - Kindergarten students from C. P. Blakely School were clearly fascinated when they visited Panago Pizza last Thursday and Friday mornings. Gail Reynolds showed them all about how to make pizzas. She explained the sauce is put on so it doesn’t touch the outside crust otherwise it would burn. The students were on field trips to learn about their community. They also met with Mayor Susan Samson. STEVE DILLS

Plans for renovations to the former Cobb’s gro-cery location on 50th Street received a favour-able review by the town’s Municipal Planning

Commission members Monday night. They passed a recommendation that council approve the development application.

RiverCity Dev-elopments submitted the application to create space for a restaurant and patio

and six suites on the main floor and add a second storey within the existing building which would have five suites.

The application esti-mated the $960,000 proj-ect would be completed by February.

To be known as Cobb’s Central Block, the build-ing is proposed to have a Colonial Revival Style with symmetrical façade featur-ing both siding and brick on the exterior, multipaned windows which are verti-cally aligned and have har-

monious proportions and columns along the gallery overhang. There are two ‘dormer style’ façades and a centre-entry floor plan for the majority of the interior.

It’s proposed that 15,582 square feet will be used for retail and restau-rant, primarily on the main floor and 9,878 square feet will be used for office and personal servic-es, primarily on the second floor. An outdoor patio is linked to the restaurant.

A wall mural will replace the painting on the north side “which will enrich the pedestrian experience and create a strong sense of place,” said the proposal submitted by Ken Wessel. “This is par-ticularly important as part of the revitalization in the downtown. There is good visibility for the piece from other buildings and from the street.”

Colleen Jensen, repre-senting RiverCity at the meeting, told commission members the mural would

be different than what is there now and created on a material that could be affixed to the wall rather than painted directly on it.

She also commented on the requirement that the developer be required to submit “a landscaping plan for the west boundary of the property that pro-vides adequate street screening in the form of a landscape island or other means satisfactory to the Development Officer as a means to buffer the park-ing area from the public roadway”.

“Doing screening may be difficult,” said Jensen. “It will be a challenge to put some sort of landscap-

ing in and still maintain parking.”

Existing parking (35 stalls in the parking lot and four stalls in the alley) sat-isfies the requirements of the town’s Pattern Book, according to a report from Development Officer Patty Urban.

Council is required to make the final decision on the project since it falls within the Waterfront Direct Control District. That’s why the planning commission’s decision is only to recommend that council approve the proj-ect.

The application will be on council’s agenda at Monday night’s meeting.

Plans for Cobb’s renovation recommended for approval

What began as a way of staying connected to rodeo has turned into a successful career for Sylvan Lake resident Brett Gardiner.

Gardiner was named the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association’s (CPRA) Announcer of the Year for 2012, it was announced last week. He’ll receive the award at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton next month. He also won the honour in 2011.

“I was kind of excit-ed, that’s kind of the best in this business, especially because I’m in a class with my idols,”

said Gardiner, adding that it was an honour to have his name beside theirs.

It’s been nine years since Gardiner first picked up a micro-phone as a volunteer announcer at a high school rodeo.

“The first couple of years you never admit,” he said. He added that most announcers get their start after being unsuccessful in the arena.

Gardiner began competing in rodeos while still in high school. After an injury, he figured he wasn’t cut out for the sport, but still wanted to stay involved.

He worked volun-teer stints announcing at a high school and a

little britches rodeo. He felt nervous, didn’t know what to say, and worried he was awful.

“At the time it was pretty nerve-wracking,” said Gardiner.

Following his debut, Gardiner began receiv-ing more invitations to announce, and started getting paid for his work.

“It was really by accident that the career began,” he said.

Gardiner is a big fan of rodeo, and likes the sport’s camaraderie and family aspects.

“If you like rodeo you love rodeo,” he said.

Growing up in Drayton Valley, Gardiner’s first intro-duction to the sport was with his parents at

their town’s rodeo and at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. His grandparents also took him to chuckwag-on races at the Calgary Stampede.

“I always liked it from day one, it was entertaining,” said Gardiner. “I used to see them as just superstars … just putting them up on that pedestal.”

Gardiner said he was lucky to be suc-cessful as an announcer early on, allowing him to pursue it.

The best announc-ers, said Gardiner, can read the crowd and deliver what they want. Younger crowds prefer a “rock and roll” atmo-sphere, compared with older crowds who are more appreciative of

western heritage. “It comes down to

judging your audienc-es,” said Gardiner. He added that he doesn’t usually receive feed-back on his work, but tries to do his best. He likes to include person-al information about some of the cowboys while announcing.

Gardiner’s announc-ing duties run most of the year. He has worked at rodeos from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Abbotsford, British Columbia, including those in Wainwright, Innisfail, and Eckville. He is the youngest announcer to receive his professional card, which he has held since 2006.

When not announc-ing, Gardiner works at École H. J. Cody School in Sylvan Lake, where

he teaches grade 9 math, grade 9 gym, and grade 9 and 10 sports performance.

“Everybody says my

jobs are so different, but both my jobs are about entertainment and education.”

Five people from Sylvan Lake or with ties to the community were among 31 deserving Central Albertans who were presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals by MP Earl Dreeshen last Wednesday.

The commemorative medals were created to

mark the 2012 celebra-tions of the 60th anni-versary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada. During the year of cele-brations, 60,000 deserv-ing Canadians will be recognized with the medals.

The local people rec-ognized were Dr. Brad Bahler, Pat Blakely, Amanda Lindhout, Mary Elizabeth Reaume

and Earl Raymond Chadwick.

Following are the citations read during the ceremony which took place at Westerner Park’s Harvest Centre.

Dr. Brad Bahler was born and raised in Sylvan Lake. After com-pleting medical school he chose to return to his home community. Dr. Bahler is the lead physi-cian on a committee that is lobbying for an

Urgent Care Centre for Sylvan Lake and area and is the head of the Wolf Creek PCN. He is being honoured today, as well, for his work on behalf of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

Pat Blakely is the past mayor of Sylvan Lake and a 30 year school board trustee. She is leaving an exten-sive legacy to the Town of Sylvan Lake includ-ing the C.P. Blakely Elementary School that was named after her. As an active member of the Sylvan Lake Archives, she is entrusted to keep the rich history of Sylvan Lake alive and available to all interest-ed parties.

Amanda Lindhout, a native of Sylvan Lake, was a freelance journal-ist. In 2008, she jour-

neyed into Somalia where she was kid-napped and held hos-tage for over 15 months. Through this experi-ence, Amanda was inspired to found the Global Enrichment Foundation which dedi-cates resources to improving the struggles of the Somalia people with specific focus on empowering Somali women and all women across the globe. Unfortunately, Amanda is not able to be here today — but her step father Perry Neitz is here to accept the award on her behalf.

Mary Elizabeth Reaume is tonight’s old-est recipient at 102. At 17 she began teaching students from Grades 1-8 in a one room school, as well as English to their immigrant par-

ents. She was instru-mental in starting the Friendship Centre, which is now Sylvan Lake Seniors Centre. She was always a leader in fundraising, from her church to the Fish and Game Association and the Lion’s Club. She started the ‘It’s New to You’ second hand store to provide affordable clothing for Sylvan Lake residents and was an active volunteer until she was 95. Currently residing at Michener Extendicare, we are very pleased to have Mary here with us this eve-ning.

Earl Raymond Chadwick is a World War II Naval Veteran who served during the Battle of the Atlantic. Mr. Chadwick has been a lifelong athletic orga-nizer and participant, formerly serving as the director of Red Deer Athletic Association and as a tournament organizer both in Canada and Europe. In 1970 he was the Red Deer Sportsman Of The Year. Currently he spends much of his time visiting shut-ins and taking them for outings in the community.

Crime Watch sign stolen, police seeking suspects

by Cpl. James Allemekinders

Special to Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake RCMP are seeking assistance in locating the person or persons responsible for a recent theft.

A four foot by four foot Rural Crime Watch sign belonging to Benalto & Area Rural Crime Watch Society was stolen from the post it had been fas-tened to near Kasha

Farm Supply on Highway 766 south of Eckville.

For the first time in five years, I celebrated Thanksgiving at home. Before this year, the last time I had been with my family for the holiday was when I was in Grade 12, before I had started university.Thanksgiving has always been a big production for my family. My aunt, an excellent chef, cooks a huge turkey, mashes potatoes to a creamy pulp, and makes a couple other side dishes. Everyone else in the family contributes a dish, usually a vegetable-based accompaniment. My grandma makes pumpkin pie, including the crust, from scratch.Every year I’ve been there,

my grandma has never been happy with the pie. Despite everyone else’s insistence that the pie is delicious, she finds a problem with it. This year, she claimed the crust was too thick. Another year, she thought the pie was “crunchy.” Yet another year, she said she’d bought the wrong brand of canned pumpkin, so the filling didn’t taste right. I celebrated Thanksgiving in a different location every year when I was at university. Most years I went home with friends, to be with their fam-ilies. One year I didn’t go home with anyone, and stayed in residence with the 12 or so other remaining girls, most of whom were international students.

It was interesting for me to see how other people cele-brated Thanksgiving. One family ate their dinner at 3 p.m. Another had different vegetable side dishes than I was used to. No one else cel-ebrated it with their entire extended family. Despite the different foods or eating time, there were more similarities than differ-ences. My friends’ families were always welcoming and happy to have me, just like my family. They were accom-modating of the fact that I don’t eat meat, and let me

contentedly eat the vegeta-bles without forcing the tur-key on me, just like my fam-ily. I’m lucky to have the friends I made at university. They were my family when I need-ed them to be. My real family worries a lot. They worry about being late for Thanksgiving dinner, or the gravy being too thin, or the turkey being too dry, or the pie crust being too thick. Even though my family wor-ries a lot about things that don’t matter, they’re still my family. My family are the only people in my life I didn’t choose. They’re also the only people I never had to make an effort for. They give their love unconditionally. This year’s Thanksgiving had

all the food I remembered. After dinner, I talked to my cousin, who has been living in Ontario for university for the past six years and who I only see a couple times a year. We talked about our childhoods, and about activ-ities we did together when we were younger. We laughed about the things we did.I have a lot to be thankful for. I’m thankful for my friends, who were always there when I needed them. I’m thankful for my family, who accept me and my non-turkey eating ways.I’m also thankful for deli-cious pumpkin pie, and a grandma who strives to make the ideal pie every year.This year’s pie was delicious, and the crust was perfect.

EDITORIAL

Within weeks Sylvan Lake councillors will be listening to the results of all the hard work done by their staff to prepare next year’s budget.

Then they’ll be asked to make the decision about how much to tax their residents and businesses and what projects need to remain as priorities.

These discussions and debates are really the main time councillors can have a significant impact on the town’s direction. Once the budget is passed it becomes the road map for the next 12 months and altering it dra-matically is much more diffi-cult.

Will they choose a three per cent increase in taxes as palatable without causing a revolt? Will it be more? Less?

No one likes tax increases but we’ve been led to believe they’re a necessary evil that we have to put up with. So along we go each year with very little squawking. Have we been so conditioned that we don’t hope for a reduction?

Certainly another increase is one issue taxpayers should be addressing with their coun-cillors now before the direc-tion for next year is set.

Another issue looms every year when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business examines tax rates.

This year’s analysis of prop-erty tax gaps states “commer-cial properties continue to bear a disproportionate share of municipal taxes. Of the 349 municipalities in the province, 256 levied a higher property tax rate on commercial prop-

erty when compared to resi-dential property.

The report titled “The Real Fiscal Imbalance: An analysis of property tax gaps in Alberta” shows the 2011 property tax gap for Sylvan Lake is 1.86. The same gap existed in 2012 tax rates.

The property tax gap is described as the non-residen-tial mill rate (which is imposed on commercial properties) expressed as a portion of the residential mill rate.

Using the Sylvan Lake number that means the tax rate for commercial properties is 186 per cent higher than the rate paid on residential prop-erty.

Lacombe (131 per cent), Blackfalds (131 per cent) and Innisfail (124 per cent) all have a lower difference and Rocky Mountain House charges the same rate for both categories.

Why is it important to con-sider the impact of this differ-ential? Because municipal taxes are one of the factors businesses take into account when considering where to locate.

If this council was interested in attracting and retaining busi-nesses in our community they should at least have a discus-sion about reducing the gap.

That, of course, would mean requiring homeowners to pay a higher portion of the total tax bill.

Since there are more voters among residents than business owners it’s a difficult decision. But it is a decision that should be considered for the long term health of our community.

We wonder, as well, what residents think about the

extensive list of capital projects included in the 10 year capital plan. We share Councillor Ken MacVicar’s concern about where the money is going to come from for things like the redeveloped multiplex, a new fire hall, a community recre-ation hub, various water, sewer and road construction projects

as well as additions to the vehi-cle fleet.

Taxpayers, it’s time to speak up and let our elected officials know your thoughts and con-cerns.

Take advantage of the open microphone session at the beginning of each town coun-cil meeting to speak directly to them, talk to our councillors where you see them on the streets or in the stores, send emails (their addresses are on the town website) or write a Letter to the Editor to share

your comments with the rest of the community.

The time is now to have a discussion with these folks — before the first critical deci-sions are made in the process of establishing next year’s bud-get.

We understand there will be time after the draft is com-pleted for further input but we believe the earlier in the pro-cess comments are provided the better chance they may be factored into the decision making.

Now’s the time to talk to councillors about taxes and tax rates

69 years ago ...From the issue of October 20, 1943The meeting addressed by Tim

Buck in the Alexander pavilion Tuesday night was well attended.

Speaking in favour of the Labour-Progressive party, Mr. Buck expressed the opinion that the Capitalistic sys-tem has produced much that is good

but had outlived its usefulness and the people should turn to Socialism. He outlined some of the things accom-plished by Russia and recommended that all parties in opposition to Liberals or Conservatives, should unite together.

At the conclusion of the meeting a collection was taken; about $150 was received. J. Taunch was chairman.

♦ ♦ ♦

The W.I. hall was “jammed to the rafters” last Friday evening at the bridge and whist party sponsored by the Soldiers’ Christmas Cheer commit-tee. It was possibly the largest gather-ing assembled in the hall for a card party. Total receipts amounted to $84. In thanking those who had purchased tickets and all who had helped to make the affair a grand success,

Robert Speedie announced that the B.E.S.L. Red Deer, had contributed $25 to the fund.

50 years ago ...From the issue of October 18, 1962Voting was very light at the polls

Wednesday as electors turned out to select two town councillors. Of over 1,000 eligible voters only 295 cast bal-lots.

Mrs. Elmer Peterson topped the poll with 233 votes, Fred Moore was second with 133 votes, Mrs. Marjory Lane 116 votes and Dale AuBuchon 51 votes. Elected were Mrs. Peterson and Mr. Moore.

♦ ♦ ♦

During the monthly Sylvan Lake Home and School Association, a buzz session was held to determine the feel-

ing of parents with regards to school parties and dances and at what age students should be allowed to attend.

Mrs. Luoma, assistant secretary of the C.N.I.B., gave a comprehensive account of the founding (in 1870 by Col. Baker), purpose and ways the C.N.I.B. helps blind people.

♦ ♦ ♦

Some of the more privileged citi-zens were amazed to look out their windows on Wednesday to see little green and gold men busy raking their yards. The Wolf Cub pack had turned out in full force to do their “Good Deed” and were very sorry they couldn’t get around to do all the yards.

Dear Editor, I read Mr. Dressler’s letter on urgent care last week and I am concerned with some misleading facts. I am sure if the editor checked with EMS ser-vices that their ideal response time is three minutes. I would ask the editor to check the aver-age time. I am sure it can be much longer. I would also like to recog-nize that Mr. Dressler was extremely lucky to have such a wonderful experi-ence in Emergency at Red Deer. I am sure some readers can tell you that is not the usual scenario.My biggest concern is that some Sylvan Lake residents (not all) seem to want to settle for less

from the provincial gov-ernment.During the early 1990s, it took a LOT of hard lob-bying to simply get our high school updated. Previous to that effort, we were not in any five year plans, insulation (which was hay) was falling out of ceiling tiles and there were numerous docu-mented issues in air qual-ity affecting students. Now, I am sure with the growth in this communi-ty, we need a new and larger high school. While the school is a sep-arate issue, it’s reflective of the process that is sometimes required to get a response on an important issue from the provincial government.

To ask and expect medi-cal coverage 24/7 or least extended hours in eve-nings is not unreason-able. Smaller communi-ties in this province have even more. Didsbury has a hospital with 24/7 emergency care, extended care, a lodge and now under P3 partnership, will be getting supportive living as well. Their pop-ulation is half of Sylvan Lake and Olds has a hos-pital only 11 km. away.I don’t think it is unrea-sonable that a community of our size to ask for Urgent Care. We need to be able to respond to non- l i fe - t hre atening medical conditions and it could take some of bur-den off the existing

Emergency in Red Deer. Cochrane, Okotoks, and Airdrie all have urgent care.By the way, Mr. Dressler, your visit to the Emergency instead of an Urgent Care facility cost me more as a taxpayer. In addition, that air ambulance you talked about has to come from a base in Calgary or Edmonton which does not happening in under 30 minutes. If we had Urgent Care, the physi-cian in Urgent Care would be able to stabilize a patient, do X-Rays and blood work while waiting for STARS. This would be a win-win scenario for everyone.I ask Sylvan Lake citizens,

to STOP expecting less than the norm and start demanding services that everyone else in the prov-ince takes for granted.Your tax dollars are pay-ing for 24/7 hour

Emergency care in Didsbury but not here Mr. Dressler.Please understand that the budget for an Urgent Care center comes from AHS (Alberta Health

Services) — our provin-cial tax dollars, not the Town of Sylvan Lake budget.

A concerned taxpayer.Laurie Norris,

Sylvan Lake

Stop expecting less and start demanding services everyone else gets

Man up, clean up, set upDear Editor,When oh when is the mess at the corner of highways 781 and 11 going to be cleaned up and a set of lights set up? Now STOP “PASSING THE BUCK.” As that corner is now, all emergency vehicles are impeded from all directions — yes think about it — you can do it. RCMP, ambulance, fire department work with lives in their hands at all times — lives are counted in seconds. You do not have the right or power to decide who will live or die. So clean up that grave error at the corner

of highways 781 and 11 then put in a set of lights. Yes — traffic will have to slow down — go a little further east and there is anoth-er set of lights, a little further west there is another important intersection from Sylvan Lake. Sylvan Lake is growing you know. So please man up, clean up, and set up! Why? BECAUSE IT IS YOUR JOB. YES REALLY.

Nancy A. Hayes,Sylvan Lake

Dear Editor,The following

appeared in the Red Deer Advocate recent-ly.

“The province will examine the spending habits of the Town of Penhold following requests to conduct a municipal review.

After the town raised taxes by 4.75 per cent this year, a number of citizens voiced their out-rage to town council.

Mayor Dennis Cooper said in light of the concerns, town council requested a review from the prov-ince.

At the same time, town resident Ken McCarthy hosted a rally and gathered a petition with 585 signatures requesting the same action.

Wendy McGarth, a Municipal Affairs public affairs officer, confirmed that the province accept-ed the petition and will conduct a review in the coming months.

The inspector will look at the town’s poli-cies, financial state-ments and the practices of the town and inter-view town council, staff and administration.”

The accompanying article speaks about a municipal review of the Town of Penhold man-agement and spending practices. It is prophetic of what needs to be done in Sylvan Lake as well.

A letter in last week’s paper spoke about the town’s deception in approving the demoli-tion of the lighthouse at the marina due to its supposedly unstable condition. The real rea-son is that it will impair the views from the new condos being developed at that site.

Several weeks ago another article revealed how the town blatantly ignored the needs of the cruise boats which have a legally binding agreement to moor at the marina. They gave the developer permis-sion to reconfigure the waterway making it too small for them to oper-ate out of.

Last spring the mayor proclaimed in the newspaper that boat launching at the marina would be preserved despite massive devel-opment being allowed there. This summer I spoke to a worker at the

deserted boat launch. He confessed that their plan of raising launch-ing fees to $40 had worked better than put-ting up a fence to keep people out.

Welcome to Sylvan Lake, if you can find access to it. Basic down-town services like a gas station, a grocery store or a boat launch are non-existent.

Lights at the main highway intersection on top of the hill have still not been installed to provide complete access.

When the downtown business association dissolved several years ago they gave a sub-stantial sum of money to the town for building a small amphitheatre on the pier. What hap-pened to that money, or was it needed to build the new Taj Mahal behind Lions Park instead?

There are too many behind the scenes deals going on and certain people’s priorities are being pursued without regard for the views of the democratic majori-ty. Taxpayers are the ones paying the bills and they should not

wait for another huge tax increase like the Town of Penhold expe-rienced before demand-

ing a municipal review in Sylvan Lake.

Craig Little, Sylvan Lake

Editor’s Note: The money from the down-town business associa-tion still sits in town

coffers awaiting a solu-tion to the amphithe-atre request.

Taxpayers should not wait for increase before requesting review of town fi nances

Apologizes for driving packer down Lakeshore DriveDear Editor,

To residents of the Town of Sylvan Lake — I have spent the past several months residing in your beautiful lake town, and enjoyed its natural beauty along with the easy going friendly atti-tude.

It had come time for me to move on into another chapter in my life and I decided to invite two long-time friends up to the lake for one last weekend of summer.

Given that we are all young men who enjoy a good time and tend to bring out the party in

each other, the beers were flow-ing fast so I decided I’d show them the local bars where we tried to play keep up with each other.

On the way home we joked and horsed around in a construc-tion zone where we noticed the keys were in the packer machine. We fired it up and off we went, all knowing what we were doing was wrong. We egged each other on and ended up driving a few blocks where a local heard the noise and called the local authorities who came and dealt with us appropri-

ately. We intended this to be a joke

and luckily nothing or no one was injured.

I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to the town and its people for the disturbance.

Will Archer,Edmonton

Editor’s Note: This event occurred in the early morning hours of Sept. 23. The owner of the packer did not wish to pursue charges, accord-ing to RCMP Cst. Landon Durston.

Dear Editor,During the night and early

morning of Sept. 23, 2012, myself and two others had way too many drinks and did an unacceptable thing of starting up a packer and driving it down Lakeshore Drive.

This was unacceptable and

dumb behaviour made on my part. I am truly sorry for those who were disturbed by my ignorance.

I love the town of Sylvan Lake and its kind citizens.

I apologize to Olds Concrete and their employees. I did not mean for any damage to be made to the

wonderful work they have done.Again, I apologize for my reck-

less behaviour and am very thank-ful that we have been treated so very fairly by the Sylvan Lake police department.

Nic Monod, Banff

Unacceptable and dumb behaviour

Dear Editor, My name is Phil Hudec from

Canmore, Alberta. Myself and a few friends came up for the weekend for some activities, some of which included con-sumption of alcohol.

On the walk home from a bar after many drinks, we walked

past a construction site with machines, one of which was a packer with the keys in the igni-tion.

Being a couple of boys who seek adventure, we decided (stu-pidly and without much thought of consequence) to take it for a joy ride, causing a ruckus and

quite a public disturbance. On behalf of myself and my

friends, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the Sylvan Lake community, RCMP and Olds Concrete for our reck-less behaviour.

Phil Hudec, Canmore

Over 100 women learned that there’s truth to the statement “laughter is the best medicine” when they heard Camilla Jones, keynote speaker at the 10th annual Women’s Wellness Retreat Saturday.

She opened the full day event with a fun-filled hour that delved into the healing power of humour and received a standing ovation for her performance.

Donna Arnold, of the Henday Association for Life Long Learning, which sponsored the event, said when planning their tenth event they wanted a speak-er who had triggered high ratings from women who attended the retreat in the past.

Two of the attendees had their names drawn and were whisked away for a fabulous makeover cour-tesy of Jute Studio.

For the rest of the audi-ence, they had the choice of 12 different topics they

could attend during one of three 75 minute sessions.

The presenters dealt with Biophoton Light Therapy, The Truth about Chiropractic, Soul Flow Yoga, Couponing, Greening Your Food Choices, It’s About Caring, Not Just Healthcare, Get To Know Your Camera, Body Awareness, Introduction to Sanskrit Chanting, World of Watercolour, Dream Catchers and Soul Trauma.

Arnold said it’s nice to have the event locally so people don’t have to go elsewhere.

“We always try to do everything as local as we can.” This year the lunch was catered by Sylvan Lake & Area Community Partners Association.

Reaction from partici-pants has always been very positive. “They rave about how excellent it is,” said Arnold, who indicated they ask participants to evaluate the presenters and topics after the event.

“Definitely, the evalua-

tions are always excellent — people can hardly wait for next year.”

In about two weeks, they’ll start working on next year’s event which is usually held the second or third weekend of October. “It’ takes a lot of work,” Arnold said about booking speakers and sessions. “We always try to have the bro-chure out by the end of June.”

Among those on the

committee this year were Barb Watson, Giselle Campbell, a representative from Community Partners and Arnold. They’re always looking for more members to share the workload. If you’re interested contact Arnold at Henday Association for Life Long Learning (403-227-2866) or Campbell at Family Education Support in the Community Partners office (403-887-9989).

Quad riders warned after complaint from Birchcliff area

Consideration, please!Dear Editor,

On Monday, Oct. 15th at approximately 8:30 p.m. (after a long shift at Red Deer Hospital emer-gency where she works as an E.R. nurse) my wife visited the Shoppers Drug Mart here in Sylvan Lake. She parked her gold Toyota Corolla in the spaces directly across from the front doors of that store.

As she finished her

shopping and came out of the store, she approached her car and noticed quite a large dent in the driver’s side door, which obvi-ously was not there before she went into the store.

Come on, have some consideration. Do you realize that because of your carelessness you just took money out of some-one’s pocket? In any case, video from the stores in that area will be checked

and hopefully we can get some more information as to what happened, and more importantly … who did it. Hoping that we get that information, police will become involved and considering that this is a hit and run, I’m sure charges could be laid.

So here is your chance to come clean and avoid police involvement. If this was you, email [email protected] and take care of this.

Thank you, and please … do the right thing.

During their regular meeting last Tuesday, Sylvan Lake councillors:• passed second and third readings of the Municipal Emergency Management Bylaw which replaced a 2005 disaster services bylaw that was outdated.

Updated Emergency Response and Business Continuity for Pandemic

plans were adopted by councillors Sept. 24.

Together the new bylaw and plans better prepare the community in the occurrence of an emergency.

Town staff and coun-cillors will now prepare for a table-top mock emergency situation to help familiarize every-one with the roles they will be expected to per-form in an emergency situation.

“We do not want to

scare off our staff by throwing them into a full-scale mock emer-gency situation,” said John Eastwood, director of disaster services. “We will start with the table top situation and after-wards prepare for a more in-depth mock experi-ence for staff and coun-cil members.”• approved proclaiming Oct. 17 as The Day for the Eradication of Poverty in Sylvan Lake.

The proclamation

was requested by Central Alberta Poverty Reduction Alliance.• approved the payment of $112,000 for the pur-chase of 1.21 hectares for road right-of-way connected with the Memorial Trail proj-ect.• heard from Chief Administrative Officer Betty Osmond that pav-ing of Memorial Trail from 50th Street to Highway 20 should be completed by Oct. 13 and paving from 50th Street to Lakeway Boulevard should be completed between Oct. 15-31. Also planned in the next two week peri-od are completion of the acceleration lane at 50th Street and Highway 11, installation of the north concrete median at the same intersection and landscaping along the entire length of Memorial Trail.

Osmond reported town hall construction in on track and on bud-get with the building almost weather proof; perimeter fencing of the dog park will start soon and the contractor will be building gravel trails; revised plans for the multiplex redevelop-ment have been received and two public informa-tion forums will be scheduled; and the request for architectural services for the fire hall project closed Oct. 12.

Raced - H. J. Cody Laker ball carrier Trent Kondor (24) got some blocking from Austin Lutz (40) while racing up the field during the team’s game against Hunting Hills Lightning last Friday night under the lights at Great Chief Park in Red Deer. The Lakers were down 24-15 at the end of the first half but were unable to match the scoring abilities of the Lightning who added 28 points in the second half to the Lakers’ 12 points for a 52-27 Lightning win. Laker touchdowns were scored by Morgan Drews, Tyler Ledwos, Trent Kondor and Landon Rosene. Drews kicked two converts and the Lakers gained a point on a safety touch after Drews kicked a field goal just short and the ball bounced into the end zone.

Snowbirds may perform flyby during Sylvan’s centennial


A low flying demon-stration by the famous aerobatic Snowbirds

team of the Royal Canadian Air Force may grace Sylvan Lake’s Centennial celebrations next July.

Councillors gave the okay at their meeting last Tuesday for the Snowbirds to perform a flyby at as low as 150 metres (500 feet) over the lake.

Since the Snowbirds’ schedule is booked two years in advance and already 98 per cent full for 2013, the only date that’s possible is July 17. The request must still be approved by the Snowbirds.

In order to seek approval for the flyby to take place as low as 500 feet, the mayor or town council letter must spe-cifically concur with this request, indicated Captain Bruce Ehmann of Special Events Plans, 1 Canadian Air Division Headquarters in Winnipeg.

Councillors unani-mously passed a motion to forward a letter of sup-port for the performance and approve the flyby as low as 500 feet to take place over the water.

Mayor Dennis Cooper of Penhold has been instrumental in assisting the Centennial Celebration Committee in organizing this addi-tion to our planned cen-tennial celebrations, according to a report to council by Marilee Littmann.

Hazards - Firefighter Jamie Slaney demonstrated the Hazard House explaining to youngsters and their parents how to live with the hazards that are common within homes. Approximately 300 people attend-ed Sylvan Lake Fire Department’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety Day Saturday at the fire hall. Other demonstrations included vehicle extrication and the Safe House, an educational tool to assist children in practising the escape methods required in a home.

Admirals off to shaky start following home openerby Ted Stephens

Special to Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake Admirals roared out of the harbour and had a tough time stay-ing afloat.

Last Friday the home opener against the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs looked more like a shoot-ing gallery than a hockey game. It took just 50 sec-onds for the Chiefs to draw first blood taking advantage of the weak defensive effort that left Admirals’ goaltender Jordan Ramstead hung out to dry.

The Admirals respond-ed four minutes later on a power play when Paul Mailey put home a rebound served up by Brandon Knelesen and Brandon Baumgartner. All three are new to the Admirals roster.

The Chiefs kept the pressure on and poor puck movement, com-bined with unnecessary turnovers, allowed the Chiefs to hold the edge. They struck again with 1:42 to go and followed that with a third goal a minute later.

The second period saw the Admirals serving a penalty from the first and a quick goal 58 seconds in gave the Chiefs a three goal cushion.

The Admirals were in a tailspin and things just got worse. More turnovers and bad decisions allowed the Chiefs to score twice more before Ramstead was mercifully pulled in place of Scott Galenza. That seemed to right the ship for a moment and Paul Mailey put home his second of the night with an assist going to Luke

Boyer. Admirals penalty trou-

ble then started and the Chiefs took full advantage of poor coverage, scoring twice before the period was done — both goals on the power play.

You might think the Admirals would just drift off into the sunset but the third was the best effort from all concerned. The Chiefs were dominated for the first five minutes and action was end-to-end with decent chances for both teams and the goaltenders stopping everything thrown.

As luck would have it, the Chiefs got a break first and scored their ninth goal of the game with 6:04 remaining.

The Admirals pushed back and on a power play Colin Zimmer slid home the goal with helpers from

Reed Watts and Kurtis Ross. Under two minutes later Brandon Baumgartner took a feed from Paul Mailey and the final goal of the game was scored.

Final tally 9-4 for Fort Saskatchewan. Admirals player of the game was Paul Mailey.

“Too many players gave a poor effort.” said Coach Jason Stephens, after the game. “We can’t fault the goaltenders when they have no support and we can’t expect last year’s record to mean a thing if we don’t give it 110 per cent every shift.

“This year every team

in the league has gotten better and our players had better step up if they expect to win,” continued Stephens. “We definitely have some things to work on in practice and an effort like tonight will not cut it. The third period showed what we could do when everyone settled

down and just did their job but that needs to start from the drop of the puck, not from seven goals down.”

Next home game for the Admirals is tomorrow (Friday) at 8:30 p.m. in the multiplex when the Innisfail Eagles will be in town.

Correctionby Sensei Ken

SumnerSpecial to Sylvan Lake News

The Arashi-Do article in last week’s Sylvan Lake News contained an error in the results.

In the Submission Series in Edmonton, Guy Lacoursiere received a sil-ver medal, not a fourth place medal as reported. He competed in Gi and No-Gi.

Sensei Ken apoligises for this incorrect informa-tion given to the paper.

Crossed - Bronwyn Jones, a Grade 7 student at École Fox Run School, received a high-five as she crossed the finish line last Thursday at the Central West Alberta Junior High Athletic Association (CWA-JHAA) cross country meet. Held at Leader Field and hosted by Fox Run, the event drew 965 students from schools around Central Alberta.

Chilly - École Fox Run School Grade 7 stu-dent Dylan Harnett braved snow and freez-ing wind to compete in the CWAJHAA cross country meet last Thursday. Highlights of the day included Fox Run student Kyle Richmond placing first in the Grade 6 boys divi-sion, and Gunnar Kasha of École H. J. Cody School placing sixth in the Grade 9 boys race.
