Lighthouse demolished; meeting planned to discuss replacement

Deepening - The lighthouse crashed to the ground last Thursday and now truck load after truck load of dirt are being removed from the marina site as redevelopment work continues. It was estimated that it would take eight to ten days of digging to deepen the marina before sronger, more stable retaining walls could be installed in placed of the previous structures. A cofferdam was installed at the entrance to the marina earlier this month then the water was emptied and fish in the enclosure were safely deposited back into the lake.

STEVE DILLS

by Steve DillsSylvan Lake News

It took just minutes for Sylvan Lake’s light-house to fall crashing to the ground after being nudged by a track hoe last Thursday morning.

A hole was created to weaken the south side of the structure then it was pushed over by the track hoe, into the empty marina area.

The tumbling struc-ture was captured on video and posted to You Tube by Ashley Maki. At press time it had received over 1,000 views. (To watch it con-nect to You Tube and search for Sylvan Lake Lighthouse.)

Demolition of the structure was under-taken as work continues to deepen the marina as part of the site’s redevel-opment.

Loads of dirt are now being removed from the site prior to stronger, more stable retaining walls being installed.

At the same time, a committee of Rotary members and town rep-resentatives have begun planning for the possi-ble construction of a new lighthouse since the demolished struc-ture, over its 25 year history, became a sym-bol of Sylvan Lake. It’s been photographed, painted and incorpo-rated in logos.

Due to the over-whelming interest in the iconic image, the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake is hosting a public community meeting to gather ideas about erect-ing another lighthouse somewhere in town.

Everyone’s invited to bring their ideas to a meeting Thursday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the

Sylvan Lake branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Location, design, functionality and fundraising will all be topics for discus-sion.

“When the opportu-nity arose for Sylvan Lake Rotary to get involved, the member-ship was very excited to pitch in to recreate a structure that will hope-fully pay tribute to the original lighthouse and recreate the symbol that has become synony-mous with Sylvan Lake,” said Trevor Sigfusson, chair of the committee.

“We hope to have service groups and citi-zens of Sylvan Lake get behind this project. We want Sylvan Lake peo-ple to see this project as something they created and that they can be very proud of for many years to come,” he added. “I think this

lighthouse could be a structure that we can still be proud of when we celebrate our next centennial.”

Quick to jump on the fundraising band-wagon was Rotary pres-ident Cynthia Giguere. Through her business, the Stone House Spa, she’s offering VIP pass-ports. For a $20 dona-tion toward rebuilding of a new lighthouse, the VIP passports provide over $1,500 in spa sav-ings. She may be con-tacted at 403-887-2413 or drop by the Stone House Spa to get your passport.

Sigfusson noted, “there will be a lot of hard work required to raise money for con-struction of a new light-house so it’s important that local enthusiasm be generated to make this project a reality.”

Film society showing Trishnaby Corrie Brown

Special to Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake Film Society is back for its second film of the season with a show-ing of Trishna, an adaptation of Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

“Set in contemporary Rajasthan, Trishna meets a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh who has come to India to work in his father’s hotel busi-ness. After an accident destroys her father’s jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love. But despite their feelings for each other, they cannot escape the conflicting pressures of a rural society which is changing rapidly through

industrialization, urbanization, and, above all, education,” IMDB states.

Trishna will be showing for one night only, Monday, Oct. 29th. Tickets are available for pre-sale at the library, or may be purchased at the theatre that night. Tickets are $8, season passes are $32 — you get one movie free! The movie starts at 7 p.m..

Sylvan Lake Municipal Library and Landmark Cinemas collaborate to bring you the best in independent films; films that don’t normally make it to the big theatres. The film society is a not-for-profit organization, run by dedicated volunteers with big hearts, and a love of movies. The society shows its movies the last Monday of every month.

Rilling spoke of hope beyond hurt at prayer breakfast by Steve Dills

Sylvan Lake News

“For me trust was a word I didn’t know at a very young age because I hadn’t experienced it. Many times I wished I were dead. I didn’t want to live any longer,” Teresa Rilling told over 150 people at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast, last Friday.

Through her speech, she related questioning God’s sovereignty, then at the end of high school talking to God “about the possibility of coming back to him”, his embrace and her subsequent enrolment two weeks later into Bible college where she began learning about trust and care.

Her story involved abuse at an early age by a grandfather who didn’t know how to properly treat little girls, his death when she was 10, but her continued lack of trust.

“It wasn’t until the end of high school I realized I couldn’t keep it down and came to God to plead with him,” Rilling said. “I’d messed

up, had many illicit relationships.”

She recalled the par-able of the prodigal son and said “God embraced me that day in my unclean state.” He told her when a person returns, “everybody in heaven celebrates … The only reason I was able to receive it was he loved me so much.”

She told the audi-ence that at Bible col-lege she began to learn about trust and care. That’s also where she met her husband of over 30 years, Jim. They have had the privilege of parenting three chil-dren, and all three are married with a total of 11 children.

It wasn’t until she was 30 that Rilling said she admitted the abuse and healing. “I knew I was at a crossroads. I had a decision to make. Will I forgive or not.” Her grandfather’s actions were still con-trolling her life, filling her with anger and bit-terness. “I had a choice

— was I going to for-give or not.” Rilling explained it’s a long process. “Don’t forgive too soon,” she’d been told. “Sometimes you have to endure before you can release.”

“It’s a hard decision to make. Do you release the right to making him pay? Release the need for justice?

On the other hand, “if you don’t forgive what’s the other option, where would we be?”

That process, she said, “drew me into a

very deep relationship with God. That’s chronicled in her book, “Just Breathe, Hope Beyond Hurt”.

“I wanted to help.” She’s since spoken nationally and interna-tionally. “I have sur-vived, seen hope,” is her message.

Rilling began her story with a box of Pot of Gold chocolates. “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” Then she passed boxes around the audi-

ence without the chart about what’s in each one and instructing each person to take a chocolate in order not randomly. Some peo-ple, she explained, will get the chocolate they like while others may get one they hate. Some will pass it by “because they don’t want to take a chance”.

“If you had a do over, how would it look different. Would you have chosen a life of predictability, where everyone was the same

and everyone was good.”

Then she stated, “as we grow older we find the gold comes out of the hard times and things that come out of our life.”

Mentioning horrible memories, Rilling said, “When I looked back I realized they were the most bitter chocolates I

ate”.When you get mar-

ried you make a con-tract with your partner, she said. Unless you develop that relation-ship you just exist. Her early relationship with God was like that — she didn’t develop it — until that fateful day at the end of high school.

Public Notice PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE

COUNTY’S LAND USE BYLAW

Bylaw No. 1162/12 Part 3 – Development Application

Lacombe County Council has given first reading to Bylaw No. 1162/12, the purpose of which is to amend Part 3 in the County’s Land Use Bylaw to require confirmation from the Energy Resources Conservation Board on the absence or presence of abandoned wells as part of the development permit application process.

A copy of the Bylaw with the proposed amendment may be obtained from the County’s Planning and Development Department or by visiting the County’s website at www.lacombecounty.com.

Anyone wishing to comment on the proposed Bylaw amendments will have an opportunity to do so at a public hearing which has been arranged for:

Date: Friday, November 9, 2012 Time: 9:00 AM Place: Lacombe County Council Chambers

located 2½ miles west of Highway 2 at the intersection of Spruceville Road and Highway 12

If you are unable to attend the hearing, written submissions can be made to the County.

EDITORIAL

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his neo-Conserva-tives must be smiling on one hand, while reacting on the other to the Auditor General’s report released on Tuesday.

Smiling because Auditor General Michael Ferguson indi-cates government is just too large for those governing to know what is going on and make common sense decisions.

Isn’t it Harper’s mantra to download, offload and just shut down areas of government that we’ve thought in the past were vital to our continued existence. See, for instance, the debates that are swirling about the reduction in scientists in many sectors. The most recent con-troversy surrounds closure of the Experimental Lake Area program which for 44 years has offered a unique opportunity for leading environmental sci-entists in the world to gain a better understanding of how to preserve, manage and protect fresh water.

Despite its reputation, the federal government is closing it to save expenses starting in March 2013.

But we digress.The most shocking revela-

tion to us, in a world which is evolving quicker than the speed of light, is Canada’s prepared-ness for cyber attacks which we’ve been told have already been attempted by people in China and other countries.

Ottawa’s cyber-attack

response centre which is meant to monitor threats to online security around the clock has only been operating during daytime hours, according to the spending watchdog’s report.

The federal public safety department created the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC) in 2005 to help reduce the risk to critical infrastructure by moni-toring and analyzing cyber threats to non-government sys-tems 24 hours a day, seven days a week and providing the latest and best advice for protecting against attacks.

The response centre was staffed to operate from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. five days a week, the audit found, although the fed-eral government operations centre can page someone on call if a cyber attack or threat is reported after hours, according to a Toronto Star report.

We agree with the Auditor General’s report which states the centre should be working around-the-clock to ensure “timely detection and notifica-tion” of cyber threats as well as communicating with foreign allies working in different time zones.

“It’s important to have one place that can then take all of that information and figure out whether the threat is greater than the sum of the incidents,” said Ferguson.

The government’s reaction. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews announced that starting Nov. 5 — that’s less than two

weeks after the report was released — that the centre would be operating 15 hours a day, seven days a week, with “experts on call around the clock when needed”.

At the same time he defend-ed the government’s cyber-security record, saying it had made “exceptional progress: in the face of emerging techno-logical threats, according to the Star article.

That’s great to hear. Sounds like we might be catching up. But does it really sound like we’re ahead of the threat? Not in our mind.

When we think that our banking system, our electricity grids, and many other impor-tant avenues necessary for our survival could be attacked elec-tronically, we think the issue is a very high priority.

Some may say it’s up to pri-vate corporations to make sure their data and their operations are protected from attack. That’s true. But at the same time, we’ve also experienced the advantages of an organization that can compile information on a broader scale and direct responses.

Another flag raised by the Auditor General was the lack of communication between vari-ous entities responsible for pro-tecting our country’s assets

from cyber attack.“Communications Security

Establishment Canada (CSEC) took over responsibility for pro-tecting government informa-tion systems from cyber threats from the response centre last year, but the audit found that despite the fact that the two agencies are supposed to be working together, CSEC does not routinely share things with CCIRC, the Star reported.

“CSEC told us it was con-cerned about sharing informa-tion because of the sensitive nature of the information it col-lects …,” says the audit.

It continued the two were supported to have worked things out by Aug. 2011, but

have now agreed to resolve things by Nov. 30.

And just last week Toews announced the government will throw another $155 million over five years to boost the capacity of the response centre.

Such quick action. Certainly the Auditor General’s depart-ment earned its money on this part of its report. There was a problem and it wasn’t discov-ered until someone started dig-ging. In an organization as big as our federal government how many more problems are there, how much are we squandering and how much is actually mak-ing a difference. The Auditor General’s report has many other interesting stories.

Winter, ice, and the Great White NorthCOLUMN

I am so not ready for win-ter.

I first realized this at the beginning of the month, after waking up to frosted car windows. I bought my car in April, right before the season when air condition-ers are the main way of regu-lating temperatures. Heaters and ice scrapers were unnec-essary.

Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Neither my wardrobe nor my car seem to have received the memo. I didn’t have a scraper and my closet is woefully low on warm sweaters and boots.

Jack Frost must be as much in denial as I am. There were no delicate crys-tals on my car’s windows that frosty morning. Instead, a

thick layer of ice chunks coated the car and froze my doors shut.

After wrenching a door open, I turned the heaters on the windows full blast, hop-ing to melt the ice away. Unfortunately, the heaters were taking more time than I had to spare. I had heard about people using credit cards to scrape their win-dows. With stiff fingers, I dug out my Visa card.

After several failed attempts, I was forced to realize the ice was too thick for my little card to handle. I headed back into the house and returned with a pair of scissors. I poked the ice chunks with the tip and tried to scrape them with a blade before realizing the most effective way was to use the handle. I was finally able to clear the windows enough to

drive. I got a scraper and snow

brush as soon as I could. My car is now better equipped than my wardrobe, to which I have grudgingly added my winter coat. I still refuse to wear boots.

I feel like I owe summer an apology for complaining about the heat and sleeping with a fan on. I doubt I’m the only one. I squandered the best of the season with my attempts to cool off. Now, as winter sets in, I long for heat.

It seems to me that a big part of living in Canada is searching for the perfect

temperature. For most of the year, it’s too cold. For a cou-ple months, it’s too hot. Goldilocks would hate Canada, even though there are some days that are just right.

When I was in university, I was required to take a cou-ple Canadian Studies classes to receive my journalism degree. One of them, a his-tory course, explored differ-ent aspects of Canadian identity, including hockey, the railroad, and multicul-turalism. Winter, and the notion of the “Great White North”, were also big topics in the class.

Course readings suggest-ed that winter is an impor-tant part of Canadian iden-tity because it is something our perpetual rivals, the Americans, haven’t claimed as their own. Winter in

Canada, my textbook said, means playing hockey and warming yourself over a Tim Hortons coffee and dough-nut.

On a recent trip to New Brunswick, I found myself seated next to a Colombian girl on my connecting plane to Toronto. She had spent a month studying in Taber. I asked her what she thought of the weather.

She said the weather wasn’t too cold. After my car-scraping difficulties, I felt a spark of indignation to hear the weather wasn’t too cold. Of course it was. I told her it was really cold in Canada during winter.

Like my textbook sug-gested, it seems I wear winter like a badge of Canadian honour.

Dear Editor,Leslie Vidok has just realized

how it now feels to be a surviving victim of urgent care neglect. Thank you Leslie for publicizing your experience in the front page of the Sylvan News.

Unfortunately thousands more will have to fall through the cracks. I pray to God they all survive! Awareness is crucial. We can do bet-ter than an urgent care facility. We need a 24/7 emergency critical care facility (and yes Lyle I have done some research) which this town (with the surrounding area and guests during the summer) should get funding for. It will always be busy but then so is every emergency centre in Alberta (unfortunately the services at these centres get taken for granted, people get scared), and definitely the funds are there.

We need all the letters, voices, lobbying and commotion of any sort we can muster up. Keep it up Sylvan and surrounding area resi-dents.

Second of all in response to Lyle Dressler’s comments in regards to urgent care. Sylvan Lake ambu-lances are now serving our (city sized) town in three minutes because now they are here, where we were they the past few years? Not here! A very reassuring sight thank you to whomever is respon-sible for that smart decision.

The financial gap you noted in your letter? Who cares about the financial gap the town would loose if an emergency care facility was to be fulfilled? My life doesn’t, my children’s lives or family and friends lives don’t care, and I am pretty confident the lives of the residents

don’t care, because it is vital. And trust me the financial gap would not be filled up, where there is money to be made there is money to be found.

In regards to Alberta Health, they have their heads in the clouds and have no respect for human life — that’s pretty much all I have to say about them.

A monster town hall as you describe it, I like to call it the White House, is completely unnecessary. Does this town need such an extravagant building?

That could have been an emer-gency care facility better yet a hos-pital.

As for the ridiculous speed bumps, they make it very difficult for ambulances to hit top speed to save any lives rushing them to hos-pital, and the bathrooms are a

joke. I have lived here 19 years and

never have I once heard anyone complain, I agree with your com-ment on the capacity of our town representatives, it dumb founding, but then we all are aware of this, thank you.

The so called urgent care you are referring to (I assume RDRHC) does not take 15 minutes via ambu-lance. It took us almost half hour. And your unfortunate incident fall-ing off your ladder and rushed to your 15 minute away urgent care and getting in right away. WOW Kudos to you, because under nor-mal circumstances the wait at emergency is hours. Unless you have chest pains they see you immediately or within one half hour.

You know as well as I do it takes

more than 15 minutes to hospital. Unless you have a jet or a private urgent care centre of your own and are not sharing it with the rest of us?

Sylvan and surrounding area needs an emergency care facility 24/7! The very least all these people in and around Sylvan should get is the respect for human life they deserve from their leaders and mentors by providing this (city sized) town with a centre for saving lives a life and death facility, not a facility open until 8 p.m. or 10 p.m. for cuts, scrapes and broken bones which can be taken to hospital! And when our population escalates dramatically in summer?

Come on! Alberta Health, Your Honourable Health Minister … It’s a no brainer.

Editor’s Note: Ambulances have been based in Sylvan Lake for many years. Prior to Alberta Health Services taking over they were under contract to the Town of Sylvan Lake. Among those serving the town under contract have been Lakeside Ambulance (2008-2012), Guardian Ambulance (2002-2008), and Knutson’s Ambulance (prior to 2002) in the most recent years. The most recent provincial contract was awarded to Associated Ambulance which started operating earlier this year.

The town is not respon-sible for building an emer-gency care facility or hospi-tal. This is a provincial government’s responsibility so reference to town expen-ditures and the suggestion they should be spending money on a medical facili-ty is incorrect.

Refreshing apologies; why were keys left in machine?Dear Editor,

It was refreshing to see such a candid apol-

ogy in last week’s paper by three guys who went for a late night joy ride

on a road packer machine.

The description of

how this episode played out begs the question, who leaves the keys in a

piece of heavy equip-ment parked in an accessible spot. If the

culprits had been some kids, one of them might have ended up becom-

ing a pancake.As things turned

out, the only damage done was to the sleep of local residents treated to the sound of a pack-ing machine clattering down Lakeshore Drive in the middle of the night.

Rilling spoke of hope...Continued from Page 3

“There is hope behind the bitter choc-olate,” she concluded.

Then she thanked Mayor Susan Samson for her “diligent and gracious service to our community. I’ve watched you embrace this community includ-ing difficult issues and admire you for it.”

“We have a respon-sibility to pray, to encourage — who here does not like to get an encouragement note … if we support each other, encourage each other … God will be supportive. We never know what we’re going to get. Fortunately we can handle it with prayer.”

Samson spoke at the beginning of the event. “I think of all of us as builders,” she said. “We come together and build a great commu-nity. When we go about the task of building, we embrace the project to achieve success in the final project.”

She also said she’s glad she wasn’t born in Sylvan Lake. “I might have taken all this for granted.”

Prayers for the com-munity were offered by a variety of people from different walks of life. They were provided by Dale Plante (mayor, council, reeves, provin-cial and federal govern-ments), Jocelyn

Callihoo (judicial and peace officers), Robert Engel (emergency medical service and fire department), Jodi Hinshaw (education systems, schools and teachers), Joan Barnes (business community and financial institu-tions), Lindsay Niemand (health care system and medical professionals), Muriel

Walker (social issues, marriages and fami-lies), Jamie McDonald (churches and their leaders), and TJ Green (youth).

In n i s f a i l - Sy l v a n Lake MLA Kerry Towle told the audience it’s important to “take a moment to reflect on all we have to be thank-ful for. I hope all of you enjoy … family, hope

and health.”Musical entertain-

ment was provided by Sean McIntyre, Angela Winters, Brenda Dutz, TJ Green and Josh Rembowski.

A digital presenta-tion, titled God of the City, featuring photos of various community landmarks and events, was played at the begin-ning of the breakfast.

Success - River Hart, Jade Caines, Tyler O’Connor, AJ Sandulac, Skyler Umlah and Brooklyn MacKinnon showed some of the food they collected last Wednesday night when members of Sylvan Lake’s Guide and Scout organizations went door-to-door. Organizer Judy Scanland said they collected 334 bags of food which was 115 more than during last year’s blitz. They also received cash and gift cards. She said next time they’ll need help from other organizations as they were only able to cover 20 routes. If people were missed during the door-to-door campaign they may drop food off at the Food Bank at the back door of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (4607 47 Ave.) on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to noon. Scanland expressed thanks to the Food Bank staff and Scouting and Guiding parents who helped with the event.

Cobb’s renovations approved by councilby Steve Dills

Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake council-lors unanimously approved a development permit for construction of a second storey addition with interior and exterior renovations to the former Cobb’s grocery store.

The $960,000 conver-sion will provide space for offices and personal ser-vices suites, retail units and a restaurant with an outdoor patio.

The town’s Municipal Planning Commission had recommended coun-cil approve the proposal.

Council’s approval was needed because the proj-ect falls within the Waterfront Direct Control District.

Colleen Jensen, speak-ing on behalf of RiverCity Develpments, said “we think this will be exciting, not only for us, but for the community as a whole, particularly in the down-town area.” They’ve already had interest from businesses, some of them already in town who are looking to move down-town.

She said they plan to

begin work immediately and it should take six to eight months to complete construction. “This will move forward very quick-ly.”

Councillor Dale Plante questioned if there was enough parking available. Planner Patty Urban said the project meets the town’s requirements. The Pattern Book specifies parking for office space is required however the developer is not required to provide parking for retail and personal use

space. That’s permitted on the street.

Jensen again raised an issue with a requirement for landscape screening of the parking lot. “We want to ensure as much parking as possible is maintained.”

Mayor Susan Samson picked up on that com-ment and asked Urban about it. Urban said they’ll discuss the landscaping requirements with the developer to “see what variety of plans come up to meet the Pattern Book and buffering”.

THANK YOUThank you to everyone who attended the 4th annual

Sylvan Lake Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. It was a memorable morning to see 155 people come together to pray, rejoice and fellowship. A wonderful spirit of unity was present at the Community Centre this past

Friday October 19, 2012. As 1 Timothy 2: 1-3 exhorts us to pray for all those in authority, this was accomplished through churches and the Body of Christ

coming together for this common purpose.

The Sylvan Lake Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast truly is........ “BUILDING UNITY John 8:12 SHARING LIGHT”

Justifi cation wanted for any change in policing complement

by Steve DillsSylvan Lake News

A town policy which specified the number of RCMP officers required

by the community based on population has been changed to give councillors more involvement in the decision.

The previous policy stated the “The Royal Canadian Mounted Police municipal com-plement level shall be one member per 800 residents.”

At their meeting Oct. 8, councillors were concerned with the use of the word ‘shall’. They wanted justification for increases in police staff-ing rather than an auto-matic increase based on a rise in population.

The new policy, passed unanimously at Monday night’s meet-ing, now states once the 1-800 level is reached “a review of services and request for addi-tional staffing may be submitted to town council for consider-ation”.

The policy also added a clause stating a municipal enforcement officer complement of one member per 3,500 residents would trigger a similar review and request for additional staffing.

That ratio was raised from 1-3,200 following the last meeting, after the report by Ron Lebsack, director of lei-sure and protective ser-vices, indicated that would require an addi-tional half time posi-tion.

Answering a ques-tion from Councillor Rick Grimson Monday night, he said the change to 3,500 meant the request for the additional half time staff person was not

required.Earlier in the year

councillors indicated they wanted the munic-ipal enforcement offi-cers included in a poli-cy that would address all policing staff.

That was done in the proposal that was presented by Lebsack, at the Oct. 8 meeting.

“The town’s current policy refers only to RCMP staffing comple-ment and does not take into consideration the municipal enforcement officers or the enhanced policing when deter-mining policing ratios,” his report stated.

Lebsack added the RCMP would oppose any change in the cur-rent policy.

... change in policing complementContinued from Page 10

They supported that position based on statistics and figures provided to councillors as well as the clear definition of roles between the RCMP and munici-pal enforcement officers. “Typically the only crossover is traffic tickets,” said Lebsack at the previous meeting. “They felt if the ratio is changed it would be going backwards for the community.”

The report from Lebsack also indi-cated that enforcement officers spent about 1,100 hours or 138 full shifts per year completing paperwork and not in the community and on the streets. “Additional town functions such as assis-tance and enforcement during snow clearing, street sweeping, and develop-ment permit issues further reduces the amount of street time the enforcement officers spend in the community.”

His initial recommendation for an additional 0.5 FTE enforcement officer “would provide increased coverage, a greater shift overlap, and reduce the amount of administration time per offi-cer, which would increase the service level of the municipal enforcement with-in the community”.

The report proposed a ratio of one full-time municipal enforcement officer per 3,200 residents. While the per resi-dent number was lower than other com-munities, Lebsack said this was justified by the seasonal influx of visitors.

“I still think municipal enforcement officers were hired to support the RCMP so therefore if we allow the RCMP less workload why do we need more officers,” questioned Councillor Laverne Asselstine at the Oct. 8 meeting. “The other reason I’m not particularly keen on ratios is it negates the substantive role of manage-ment to justify resources. If the RCMP police chief decides he has issues he should come before council, I don’t think it should be an arbitrary figure.”

Councillor Sean McIntyre felt the intent was to have a target “but we aren’t necessarily binding ourselves.” He added, “in fairness, the RCMP came to us in the spring asking for an additional member that we did not approve.”

Agreeing with him at the earlier meet-ing was Councillor Dale Plante. “They need to come back to council and justify the need. I’d like to see a recommended number as opposed to a rigid number.”

“In my opinion we get more out of the RCMP rather than bylaw,” said Councillor Rick Grimson. They’re able to deal with more issues and enforcement than the municipal enforcement officers, he said while questioning the town’s cost for the two types of officers.

Lebsack indicated the cost to the town for an RCMP officer is $100,000 a year while for a municipal enforcement officer its about $80-82,000.

Affordable housing concept received endorsement of councillorsby Steve Dills

Sylvan Lake News

A concept to construct 24 affordable housing units on a single site in an undeveloped area of town was endorsed by town councillors during their meeting Monday night.

Sylvan Community Housing Society has signed an option to pur-chase 1.08 acres from Falcon Homes, in a new high density area of Ryders Ridge, chairman Frank Peck told council-

lors.“What we’re asking is

would you support a 24 unit complex that meets the building guidelines of Sylvan Lake and addresses the needs of affordable housing,” said Peck.

The society’s plan is to build two 12-unit two-storey buildings. One would be meet require-ments for seniors and AISH applicants. The other would be for fami-lies that need assistance through affordable hous-ing.

Because they felt their

application needs to stand out above others compet-ing for provincial fund-ing, the society has hired a consultant who’s skilled in putting together propos-als and applications. One of the pieces of the pro-posal is letters of support from adjacent municipali-ties.

“We have a letter from everyone else except Sylvan,” Peck said, indi-cating it’s the last piece of the proposal.

He explained the pro-posal will then go to Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation for

review so they can obtain further funding to advance the project.

“I agree we need to support this,” said Councillor Ken MacVicar. “It sounds like its going to be a pre-approval pack-age. It’s not going to the provincial government, I don’t see a problem with this.”

“Can this letter be con-strued as approval of the project?” asked Councillor Rick Grimson, remem-bering past issues with affordable housing pro-posals.

Peck answered the

location is in the middle of a high density area that’s yet to be developed. “The problems before have been because of infills. This is brand new.” He speculated their build-ing may be the first in the development.

“I concur with Frank, for years we’ve talked about getting developers

on board for social hous-ing. If we can get them on board it’s a win for the community.”

Betty Osmond, the town’s chief administra-tive officer, said there wouldn’t be anything in the letter “that would appear to prejudge” approval of the project, but they could approve

the concept.Councillors then voted

unanimously to instruct staff to draft the letter for the mayor’s signature.

Peck added his group has been working with Tim Schmidt, the town’s director of planning and development, to ensure what’s proposed meets the guidelines of the town.

Innisfail powerhouse rolled over Admiralsby Ted Stephens

Special to Sylvan Lake News

Innisfail Eagles, with new head coach Brian Sutter, came to Sylvan Lake last Friday, look-ing for their second win in as many games.

The hometown Sylvan Lake Admirals were hoping to atone for a poor outing the previous weekend and had added three new bodies to their lineup.

It only took 1:32 for Innisfail to take the lead but that was quick-

ly answered a little over two minutes later when the Admirals’ Branden Gay tipped home a bul-let pass from Captain Rob Turville. The first period was hard and fast with both teams getting plenty of chanc-es and playing a physi-

cal game. At the end of one it remained tied one each with the edge on shots going to the Eagles 17-12.

The second period started out where the first left off and the Admirals took the lead just 1:28 in when Aaron

Boyer tipped in a pass from Tyler Moir. Not to be outdone the Eagles rallied just over two minutes later when a nifty three way passing play turned the Admirals D inside out and the game was once again tied.

Sylvan Lake seemed to take their foot off the gas and the Eagles took full advantage, out-shooting the Admirals 14-7. A late penalty to the Admirals’ Brandon Gay was all the edge needed by Innisfail and they quickly regained the lead with a power play goal, the clock showing 1:16 to go.

What was a good game for the Admirals soon started to slip

away as Innisfail con-tinued to press and the Admirals got away from their game plan.

Innisfail scored at 16:62 in the third and Sylvan Lake answered three minutes later when Brandon Knelsen scored from Jeff Young but that was all the Admirals had to offer. A couple of crazy bounces later gave Innisfail a two goal advantage at 12:18 fol-lowed a minute later by an Eagle power play marker. Final tally 6-3 for Innisfail.

“We have work to do,” said Assistant Coach Tyler Lightbown after the game. “We had a simple game plan but we seemed to get too

soft midway through the second and that carried into the third. Innisfail is a quality squad and any player taking them lightly needs to have a second look.

“There were some real positives coming out of this and our back end has come a long way in one week,” added Lightbown. “We’ll be working to improve our obvious weak spots and our game tape should help pinpoint the little mis-takes.”

The Admirals next home game is tomor-row (Friday) when the Bentley Generals come to the multiplex. Game time 8:30 p.m.

Sylvan to host Alberta juvenile curling championshipsby Steve Dills

Sylvan Lake News

Planning is underway by the Sylvan Lake Curling Club committee which is hosting a major provincial curling cham-pionship March 1-3.

Building on the previ-ous success of hosting the Alberta Scotties in 2009 and the provincial mixed championships in 2010, Sylvan Lake is host-ing the Alberta Optimist

Juvenile Curling Championships, said committee chair Noreen McCallum.

She said the champi-onships are for curlers 17 and under. Six men’s and six women’s team will be competing, with two from the north, two from the south and two from the Peace region.

They qualify for the championships through zone playdowns.

“The committee is

gearing up and looking for more volunteers and support from the com-munity,” said McCallum during an interview last week.

“We still need a cou-ple of key people for the host committee.” She predicted they’ll probably need about 100 volun-teers to do a variety of things. Some of that may be during the event itself while other volunteers are needed for pre-event

projects and organizing.Those interested may

contact the curling club or visit the club’s website at sylvanlakecurling.wordpress.com/.

Sponsorship packages and letters to businesses will be going out in the near future.

The event will also be themed ‘celebrating the past and embracing the future’ to tie in with Sylvan Lake’s Centennial.

There will be four

draws on the Friday, four draws on the Saturday and as many as needed Sunday until a champion is declared, said McCallum. Four sheets of ice at Sylvan Lake Curling Club will be used with the fifth sheet con-verted for spectator seat-ing.

“This will be a more spectator sport than the mixed,” predicted

McCallum. “The youth will come with parents, grandparents.” There’s no admission charge. Everyone is welcome to come and watch.

“The community of Sylvan Lake is really well situated to support this juvenile championship because of the great num-ber of young curlers,” said McCallum. Last year the club provided 600

school aged children the opportunity to curl.

“Hopefully out of our junior program we will be promoting kids to compete at the zone level,” added Lesley Hill, noting one local team participated in zone play-downs last year.

Sylvan Lake Curling Club has also been select-ed to again host the Alberta Scotties in 2014.

Community - Students from C. P. Blakely School’s Kindergarten classes visited Sylvan Lake’s town hall, met with Mayor Susan Samson and toured the building Oct. 11 and 12 to learn about their community. Samson demonstrated how she brings a meeting to order and then let each of the students bang the gavel. STEVE DILLS

Opened - Memorial Trail from 50th Street east to Highway 20 was opened last Friday for traffic. Construction is continuing on the section from 50th Street west to Lakeway Boulevard with the granular base currently being constructed prior to paving which is expected by the end of the month. Work is also ongoing at several of the intersections connected with the project. STEVE DILLS

Following are Halloween safety tips provided by the Sylvan Lake RCMP.

TRICK-OR-TREATERS

• Wear makeup instead of a mask. This will allow you to see and be aware of everything going on around you while walk-ing house to house.• Wear reflective cloth-ing.• Be sure your costume does not drag on the ground so you don’t trip.• Wear comfortable shoes, even if they don’t go with your costume.• It is safer to carry flex-ible props (e.g. magic wands, swords).• Wear a watch you can

read in the dark.• Carry a flashlight so you can see where you are going.• Walk, don’t run.• Stay in familiar neigh-bourhoods.• Stay on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.• Do not cut across yards and driveways.• Obey traffic signals and give traffic the right of way.• Only approach houses that have the outside lights turned on.• Stay away from pets you don’t know.• Trick-or-treat in groups.

• Never enter a stranger’s home or car for a treat.

PARENTS• Ensure that your child eats dinner before setting out.• Discuss with your chil-dren what they should do to call home in case of emergency.• Ideally, young children of any age should be accompanied by an adult.• If your children go on their own, be sure they wear a watch, preferably one that can be read in the dark.• If you buy a costume, look for one made of flame retardant material.• Older children should

know where to reach you and when to be home.• Although tampering is rare, tell children to bring the candy home to be inspected before con-suming anything. Look at the wrapping carefully and toss out anything that looks suspect.• Make sure your yard is clear of such things as ladders, hoses, dog leash-es and flower pots that can trip the young ones.• Pets get frightened on Halloween; put them inside to protect them from cars or inadvertent-ly biting a trick-or-treat-er.• Battery powered jack-o-lantern candles are

preferable to a real flame.• Place pumpkins and decorations out of reach of children.• Healthy food alterna-tives for trick-or-treaters include packages of low-fat crackers with cheese filling, single-serve boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, mini boxes of rai-sins and single-serve packets of low-fat micro-wave popcorn.• Refrain from handing out treats that contain peanuts or peanut butter, as many children are allergic.
