Still room - There was still a nice patch of sand available late Sunday afternoon at the beach in Sylvan Lake. The beach and shore area were crowded with people flocking from Central Alberta and elsewhere to enjoy the warm temperatures of sunny weather. By about 6 p.m. though that had changed and funnel clouds were spotted north and west of Sylvan Lake although none were reported to have touched down. STEVE DILL

LAP MARKS ARE THE APPEARANCE OF A DENSER COLOUR OR AN INCREASED GLOSS WHERE WET AND DRY LAYERS OVERLAP DURING PAINT APPLICATION.

WHAT CAUSES IT?Failing to maintain a “wet edge” when applying paint or using low-solid, “economy”

paint can both lead to the formation of lap marks.

HOW TO SOLVE ITWhen painting, make sure to maintain a wet edge by applying paint toward the

unpainted area and then back into the just-painted surface. This technique (brushing

or rolling from “wet to dry” rather than vice versa) will produce a smooth, uniform

appearance. It is also wise to work in manageably sized areas, and to plan for

interruptions at a natural break, such as a window, door, or corner.

Amazing - Among the watercraft on the lake last Friday was a homemade tug boat, built by John Cameron of Red Deer. When travelling across the lake front he certainly gets some second glances. Sylvan Lake News reporter Aleisha Bosch wrote a story about the boat last summer and it appears in our Discover Sylvan Lake 2013 magazine. “Some people just can’t believe there’s such a thing,” Cameron is quoted. “People come up in big powerboats and want to take a picture.” He started building the boat in December 2010 and first put it into the water in Sylvan Lake July 13, 2012. The boat is powered by an electric golf cart motor which he charges every night in his garage. Fully charged he said the battery lasts about eight hours. STEVE DILLS

Town of Sylvan Lake & Summer Villages

by Steve DillsSylvan Lake News

A proposal from the province to provide free loaner life jackets to beach goers through the town’s Beach Ambassador booth in Centennial Park was turned down by councillors unofficially despite some support.

The offer was made by Grant Santo, regional opera-tions manger, East Central Region, Tourism, Parks and Recreation, councillors heard during a special meeting last Wednesday.

However the discussion got mired in technicalities even before it made it to the agenda.

The special meeting was called to discuss a legal matter “Tender Award Review”, according to a notice sent to councillors and posted on the door of the town office.

Mayor Susan Samson asked councillors to add the item to the agenda, but was rebuffed by Councillor

Rick Grimson who stated the Municipal Government Act indicates only the matter for which the meeting was called may be discussed.

(The act states “no matter other than that stated in the notice calling the special council meeting may be transacted at the meeting unless the whole council is present at the meeting and the council agrees to deal with the matter in question.”)

Councillors Ken MacVicar and Graham Parson were absent from the meeting.

Despite that Samson included the item “for infor-mation purposes” and Joanne Gaudet, the town’s com-munications officer, provided the update.

Part of Samson’s concern was that councillors had previously cancelled their Aug. 12 meeting and wouldn’t be meeting again until Aug. 26 leaving it too late in the season to deal with the offer.

Following the drowning July 20, the province wanted to implement a program using the Beach Ambassador hut location for a sign out location for free life jackets, she said.

“It’s a great location for information, but I remind-ed him of the size. I would see an issue if there were more than six life jackets.” Gaudet added, “I think it’s an opportunity to work with Alberta Parks. He (Santo) did mention future plans for a kiosk down there. There’s the potential to increase visitor information services. Beach Ambassadors are capable of doing the sign out.

“They’re coming with a presentation, this is just background information,” she stated.

Samson added that Santo had told her there are 15 to 17 of the kiosks up and running around the prov-ince and they have been “very well received”.

A government information bulletin, issued July 30, indicated five new life-jacket loaner stations were opening at provincial parks in Alberta this year.

“The life jacket loaner station programs are self-serve kiosks, where visitors can borrow life jackets and return them after use. Life jackets are available at no cost in infant to adult sizes,” said the bulletin. The kiosks also contain water safety messages. “Introduced in 2010, the loaner stations serve as a visual reminder to visitors to wear a life jacket.”

Councillor Sean McIntyre began discussion of the offer stating it’s a “fantastic idea” but cautioning “I think this might have policy implications including how often (Beach Ambassadors) are at the hut. I think I would be careful if they’re available some times but not others.” He added that as a parent with growing children he’s found public facilities

which used to charge for rental of life jackets are now making them available free.

Samson urged councillors to con-sider a trial period and then look at a report after Labour Day.

Gaudet added they need to consider what the role of Beach Ambassadors would be. “We’ve worked really hard to get them out of the booth.”

“I like the information service, it’s really increased a lot this year,” said Councillor Dale Plate. “Maybe the prov-ince would pay for one person next year.”

Grimson stated a concern they may be competing with private enterprise while agreeing it’s “not a bad idea”.

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” said Councillor Laverne Asselstine. “But I don’t think it’s appropriate to jump into all of a sudden. I think there has to be

some thought process. If the program is up and running why didn’t they intro-duce it to us in the spring.”

Councillors weren’t provided with a written staff report.

Samson thanked councillors for their input and said she’d deliver the message to Santo.

Then councillors went in camera to hear background on the real reason for the meeting.

When the reconvened, they unani-mously passed a motion which stated, in part, “council was made aware of new information about the fairness of bid-ding” for supply of garbage receptacles to the town. The motion rescinded a previous motion awarding a contract and instructed staff to re-tender the purchase and “ensure town specifica-tions are clear to all bidders”.

Thanked - Lacombe County Reeve Ken Wigmore accepted a plaque from John Witham who thanked the county for its support of the 2013 Canadian Scout Jamboree which was held at Camp Woods in early July. “Everyone who went away from it thought it was a totally awesome event,” said Witham. The main crest in the display was the one received by each of the staff members while the other crests represented the nine camping areas. Collecting crests is a big activity for Scouts at a jamboree and it became quite a challenge to collect all of them, said Witham.

Sponsored by the Sylvan Lake Service Club, a swimming gala has been arranged for the afternoon of Wednesday, August 16. The program includes a wide variety of events for boys and girls and features an open half mile for men and women. It is the

intention of the service club to make this gala an annual event.

Bob McCallum asked us some time ago what the weight would be of one inch of rainfall on the surface of the lake. Not knowing the exact area of the surface of the lake, our figures are only approximate. One inch of rainfall over an area of one acre (believe it or not) will weigh about 113 1/2 tons. The 19 inches of rainfall this season means that approximately 35,885,000 tons of water have been added to the Lake this year, not counting the run-off from surrounding land. Almost incredible, ain’t it!

♦ ♦ ♦

The week-end rainfall totalled 3.06 inches, bringing the season’s total (from May 9) to 19.35 inches.

The David Thompson highway, which will connect with the Banff-Jasper highway at Saskatchewan Crossing, was widely publicized at the weekend when 200 cars from Central, Northern and Southern Alberta, as well as Saskatchewan and British Columbia joined to travel the route through Athabasca Pass, discovered by David Thompson in 1811.

An estimated 1,000 persons made the two-day trip to Kootenai Plains and return. The party camped on the Plains Sunday night, returning home on Monday.

While on the cavalcade over the David Thompson route Hon. Gordon Taylor, Minister of Highways for

Alberta, announced that his depart-ment will spend $3 million on this highway when funds become avail-able.

Work has been progressing west of Nordegg and about 20 miles of the new four-lane gravelled roadway has been built. Another 20 miles is under construction this year. The highway will eventually be hard surfaced.

Michael’s Shop advertised a Clearing Out Sale. Prices Cut In Half. All must go. No reasonable offer turned down. Jack Scott, Main Street.

A good idea for Sylvan Lake users was dismissed by councillors partially because a decision was rushed and partly because rules of proce-dure were ignored. They debated the idea at a ‘special’ meeting where it wasn’t prop-erly placed on the agenda.

In both cases our council-lors and the town staff involved are responsible.

The offer from the provin-cial government was to place free loaner life jackets at the Beach Ambassador’s booth in Centennial Park so they would be accessible to those interested in using them.

It was an idea that sur-faced for Sylvan Lake Provincial Park directly because of the drowning July 20th. But it is not an untried idea. In fact the province now has 15 life jacket loaner sta-tion programs operating from self-serve kiosks in provincial parks where visitors can bor-row life jackets and return them after use. The life jack-ets are available at no cost in infant to adult sizes. The pro-gram has been expanding since it was first introduced in 2010.

It’s a joint initiative between Alberta Tourism Parks and Recreation, the Lifesaving Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories and the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research.

“… the life jacket loaner station program promotes safe behaviour in, on and around water,” said Shaun Percival, development man-ager with the Lifesaving Society, in a government information bulletin issued the day before town council’s special meeting.

Mayor Susan Samson’s most blatant mistake was to ignore rules of the Municipal Government Act (MGA)

under which council’s special meeting was called, even after being warned she was acting improperly.

Because council had pre-viously cancelled its Aug. 12 meeting, a special meeting was required to deal with a tender issue. It was duly called under terms of the MGA which allow Samson to call a special meeting “by giving at least 24 hours notice in writ-ing to each councillor and the public stating the purpose of the meeting and the date, time and place at which it is to be held”.

In this case notice to the public was posted on the front door of town hall. The News received a call from a town staffer late in the morn-ing on the day of the noon hour meeting. There was nothing on the town’s website to alert curious ratepayers. But that’s a matter for the review of the MGA now being conducted by the province.

Another clause in the spe-cial meeting section of the MGA states “No matter other than that stated in the notice calling the special council meeting may be transacted at the meeting unless the whole council is present at the meet-ing and the council agrees to deal with the matter in ques-tion.”

Councillors Ken MacVicar and Graham Parsons were absent from the meeting.

So, when Samson asked that the item be added to the agenda, she was out of order. When she added it anyway “for information purposes” she was skirting the rules. Then councillors all weighed in on the proposal and she had a “message” to take back to the province. To us, listen-ing to the discussion, that was a decision made. There isn’t another regular council meet-

ing until August 26 when the summer season is virtually finished.

Another problem with the discussion was the lack of information and the assump-tions made by some that were contrary to the self-serve concept being used elsewhere in the province. Why would Beach Ambassadors have to be involved in signing out the life jackets — or required to hang around their booth to do so?

Their role is to be out in the park promoting the town, answering questions of tour-ists and providing informa-tion - not hanging around their booth.

Councillors weren’t pro-vided with any written mate-rial stating what the offer from the province was or what staff thought about it. There was just a verbal report at the meeting “for back-ground purposes”. From this they made comments.

After first being chal-lenged about the validity of discussing the issue, Samson should have kept it off the agenda. If time was of the essence, as it seemed, then she could have called another

special meeting.As it is, what appears to us

a good idea which is success-fully being used in other parts of the province, has been turfed by councillors who didn’t have all the informa-tion needed to make a proper decision.

But officially they didn’t make a decision because the item was included on the agenda for information only.

The solution is to call a special meeting and deal with the idea officially with proper research completed. Provincial officials would then have an opportunity to present their offer and answer questions in an informed fashion as they’d offered.

We want your INFO......NOT your name

Threatening - About 6 p.m. Sunday, a funnel cloud was spotted over Benalto by Yvette Brideau who snapped this photo. “Proceeded to phone as many neighbours as possible … no contingency plan here in Benalto for an emergency situation like this,” she wrote. After Sylvan Lake News posted this to our Facebook page, we received several comments about funnel clouds spotted north and west of Sylvan Lake about the same time. YVETTE BRIDEAU

Dear Editor,I would like to thank the Sylvan Lake News for

their excellent paper. I find it interesting that assump-tions are made and accusation of incorrect facts are made.

Firstly I never said the town borrowed $22 million for the park. I said the park cost was $22 million and I went on to state my views of the waste that I felt occurred. I heard on the radio the town now has $22 million dollars in debt. I said that was a terrifying amount. The mayor was quoted as saying the park was financed without property tax money.

That’s a very specific definition, however the tax-payers still paid the money. Even if it was collected by a special levy or a rider on utility payments or some other mechanism, the money still came from the pockets of the citizens.

Further the word financed usually means bor-rowed money. It’s possible using Enron style financing and the creative accounting depending upon the dates of the year end and offset debt structures that the town can say it now has a debt of $8.5 million as opposed to the statements of $22 million on the radio.

Further the director of finance has stated that the town’s debt will go from 34 per cent to 63 per cent next year, that his debt limit calculations were conservative and that you will see a couple of years when debt ser-vicing will increase substantially.

That means more money from the people of Sylvan Lake — businesses and residents. I can see my costs for my house that started at $1,200 a year, that are now $4,200, going to $10,000 a year in taxes simply from the increases in the debt financing and that is at today’s lowest interest rates. These are not para-noid rants — this is accounting reality.

Now I can well appre-

ciate that many people can’t associate a new building with increased payments but in reality the town charges $1,000 a year to utilize the pool. That’s the yearly pass costs. However if new structures are built they will have to increase that to reflect costs of $2,000 a year. In reality can you afford to use that pool at those costs or will you just drive to the pool in Red Deer? Will you walk away from your homes when the tax rates become unbearable? I know businesses in leased offices will abandon the town. That will be the accounting reality of these decisions.

Further I am not considering a position on council. Yes, I would dearly love to serve the community and that’s why I write council letters and then the newspa-per when councils continue down a destructive path.

I see that $17 million can be cut from the current council’s wish list, but it can’t be cut without a new selection of like-minded people.

Again I hope that the people of town can choose wisely. Please also remember all of the petitions and fuss and accusations that were towards the provincial MLA and Alberta Transportation over the lights on the highway and then the mayor, after meeting the MLA, finally saying she does not support lights on Highway 11. This town needs truth to make accurate decisions.

Thank you. Lyle Dressler,

Sylvan Lake

GROUP


Dear Editor,In the past few weeks three citizens

have announced in the Sylvan Lake News their intention to seek the posi-tion of mayor in our town.

Having read these articles it is good to know the voting public have at least three candidates from which to choose a mayor.

After reading Susan Samson’s arti-cle about her accomplishments and future goals, I am left with some con-cerns about occurrences during her six year tenure as mayor that hurt the town somewhat.

Six years ago we had a main street that was completely filled with thriv-ing businesses. These businesses catered to most of our wants and needs. Main street was the very heart of our beautiful town. Look at main street today. It is very sad.

Two years ago Highway 781, our main access to 50th Street, was closed from the south and the wet. $500,000 for traffic lights would have solved the problems at this intersection. Instead, with the shrewd bargaining of our town council and the narrow-minded attitude of the bureaucrats in the Department of Transportation, $8-$10million has been spent. The job is far from finished and far from safe.

I certainly believe the former

MLA, Luke Ouellette, lost his job by forcing the closure of 781. Furthermore some of the bureaucrats should lose their jobs for the blatant misuse of taxpayers’ money on this ongoing money pit. Accidents on Highway 20 and on 47th Avenue are a direct result of closing 781.

I would encourage a new council to proceed with negotiations to reopen the intersection.

Another first for council was Mayor Samson insisting on a closed meeting with our newly elected MLA, Kerry Towle, shortly after the provin-cial election.

A mediator was need to be chair-man of the meeting. Bob Clark, a very respected former MLA and Ombudsman of Alberta became the chairman.

Previously Mr. Clark, in a discus-sion with Kerry Towle, advised her to have at least two people accompany her to the meeting. Matt Toonders and myself were invited by Kerry. In my opinion this meeting was very unpleasant.

At one point in the discussions taking place, Mayor Samson addressed me and order (I quote word for word) “Dale, you are here strictly as an observer and you will not be allowed to speak and furthermore I do not

Election will provide opportunity for citizens to be heardapprove of your taking notes at this meeting.”

Feeling like a chastened child I passed my notes to Mayor Samson.

Having attended meetings in Sylvan Lake for the last 65 years, this was the first time I had heard someone told to shut up and do not take notes. Another first!

This is not my vision of a democracy.Near the conclusion of the meeting, thankfully,

Mr. Clark said, “Dale, even though you are not allowed to speak, you can speak now!

Moving on it seems to me there is no end of money for council to spend on “studies”. One study was how to communicate with the public.

A great place to start would be to listen to the people that elected you. These are the citizens you have to please, not some get-rich-quick developer that would remove all our trees to further his own development (re: south tree line in Pierview).

I recently touched on candidate for mayor Dale Plante and his dream of a man made beach (SL News, July 25). Enough said about this candidate.

I have not met Matt Prete who has declared his

candidacy for the mayor’s position. Mr. Prete spoke at the meeting on Nov. 15, 2012 about the 781 inter-section, which incidentally was totally devoid of any town officials.

His remarks at that time were very encouraging, with a common sense approach to try and remedy some of our concerns. I certainly plan to meet Mr. Prete and encourage him in his quest for mayor.

As always, with an election, vote the way you please. But please vote.

Our town is definitely in need of sound leader-ship. This is not any easy job and I wish the new council the best of luck1

In the next four years I am sure council will face a new and no doubt very contentious issue. Do we go from town to city status?

Hopefully the citizens of Sylvan Lake will have a lot more dialogue and input on this issue than we had with the closure of 781.

Thank you,Dale Mannix,

Sylvan Lake

Dear Editor,Kudos to town council on achieving redevelop-

ment goals for Lakeshore Drive, Centennial Park and the downtown business area!

Lakeshore Drive is now a narrow roadway, as planned, replete with large ill-constructed speed bumps. Parking from 33 to 40 Street is gone. Centennial Park is now mostly a day use picnic area and dog-walking park. The weekly cottage rental industry has been all but eliminated through oppressive bureaucracy, and with it paying tourists that, council sometimes complains, cost more in support services than revenues generated. Again, all as planned.

Now that tourism numbers are flat or even slumping (at least partly due to ill-advised aspects of redevelopment) with commensurate cost savings, one might expect council to be in a celebratory mood.

Not so. Now we have a curious situation in which council plans to spend $60,000 for a study on how to attract tourists. The question is does council want more tourists or fewer tourists? Apparently the answer is ‘more’ because council recently spent $25,000 dumping sand on provincial property to create a faux beach!

Dale Mannix (SL News, July 25) is right on regarding one aspect of Sylvan Lake tourism. Clean out Sylvan Creek so lake levels can drop to the his-toric average levels and Sylvan Lake’s spectacular mile-long family beaches will reappear. Maybe even tourists, despite the aggravation of scarce parking, frustrating roads, overzealous policing and lack of downtown shops and attractions.

Town council has no one to blame but itself if Sylvan Lake tourism is sagging. The Lakeshore Drive and Centennial Park redevelopment projects illustrate the folly of settling for form instead of

function when building infrastructure; of swal-lowing fancy consulting concepts rather than keeping customers’ (end users) wants and needs in mind. Make things fun and easy to use and people will come; make visitors’ experience inconvenient or unpleasant and they’ll spend their money else-where.

Taxpayers rightly expect council to make up its mind and declare whether its focus is on encouraging more tour-ism, cost cutting at the expense of tourism, or futuristic pie-in-the-sky visions of grandeur for Sylvan Lake. Until the decision is made, hold the $60,000 studies.

An appreciation tea at Sylvan Lake Lodge recognized the efforts of volunteers who deliver Meals on Wheels to people in our community.

Carol Baragar said paid tribute to “these wonderful people”.

Meals on Wheels received the Helping Hands award in 2011 and she read information printed then about the organization and its opera-tion.

“Meals on Wheels supplies one nutritious meal per day to Sylvan

Lake residents unable to cook for themselves but who wish to remain in their homes. Delivered Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, the meals are prepared at the lodge.”

The program has been in opera-tion about 22 years.

Edie Gamble has been coordina-tor for about nine years. She sets up the schedule and calls volunteers who deliver the delicious meals.

There are 17 volunteers at pres-ent, up from 10 in 2011. They include Don Edgecombe, Iris Tiboni, Jean Marriott, Bryan and Judy Lambertson, Irene McKellar, Toni

Meals on Wheels volunteers recognized for volunteer work

Horn, Edie and Joe Dracek, Gerald Bystrom, Mildred McLeod, Shirley Mannix, Margaret and Joe DeHass, David Pearson and Amy James with her children Jasper and Marinna.

“These wonderful people not only give their time delivering meals — which can be up to seven per day — but they are donating the gas to get them there,” said Baragar. “Now days, that’s huge.”

“We want them to know how important they are for Sylvan Lake residents. They come, pick up the meals, drive around town, rain or shine, and back to the lodge with the boxes. They are the quiet unsung heroes and we love them.”

Baragar added they “go with a smile on their face and say hello to somebody who maybe hasn’t seen anyone for a while. People out there really appreciate you.”

Small gifts were presented to each of the driv-ers. Baragar singled out two people for special mention. Don Edgecombe has been volunteering for 13 years — “that’s absolutely incredible, phe-nomenal what you’re doing.”

“I’ve really enjoyed doing Meals on Wheels all these years,” he said. “Hopefully when my wife takes a turn for the better I will be back doing Meals on Wheels again.”

The other person was Edie Gamble who’s acted as co-ordinator for many years and keeps the vol-unteers scheduled.

The afternoon concluded with entertainment, cake and refreshments.

Meals and Wheels volunteers were honoured at a thank you tea held at Sylvan Lake Lodge last Wednesday afternoon. They included Bryan and Judy Lambertson, Gerald Bystrom, Edie Dracek, Joe DeHaas, Jean Marriott, Don Edgecombe, Co-ordinator Edie Gamble, Amy James with her children Marinna and Jasper, Toni Horn, Margaret DeHaas, Mildred McLeod and Iris Tiboni.

Dear Editor,I am sending this letter as it is that

of a happy time as compared to the doom and gloom that is prominently sent to the editor.

July 1st began a kick-off to get donations for our neighbours to the south who have suffered much due to the floods.

Residents of Sylvan Lake began collecting donations at a July 1st bar-becue and it carried on through the month of July by donating bottles at Sylvan Lake Bottle Depot.

Between these two venues a total

of $1,167.75 was collected for the Salvation Army to be used for flood victims.

I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all who participated.

It’s a true example of the generos-ity Sylvan Lakers have.

A special thank you to the staff at the bottle depot for allowing us to inundate them with extra work over the month of July.

Way to go Lakers!Janet Bremner,

Sylvan Lake

Generosity of Sylvan Lakers again evident

Dear Editor,Re: More important priorities

than creation of man-made beach, Dale Mannix, July 25.

Just a note of support for the opinions expressed by Mr. Mannix. He has presented the opinions of many and, as a summer resident tax-payer, I concur with everything stat-ed.

Council has to get on side with the Sylvan Lake citizenry and con-centrate on the only action, lowering the lake, that will salvage what has become a costly and very embarrass-ing situation.

Sylvan Lake, as a resort town, is dying. I see this every time I travel Lakeshore Drive past the two motels that have not posted their No Vacancy sign even once all summer. I see this as I approach one of my favourite haunts, Sylvan Lake Golf & Country Club, where play is down because, as a resort with a great beach, Sylvan Lake no longer has this as an attraction.

Dredging sand to form a beach has been tried. While the effort did produce a great beach, it only lasted until a few strong nor-westers washed the sand back into the lake. You cannot replace the best beach in Alberta artificially.

It is interesting to note that the delegation from 35th Street now realize that the placement of boul-ders to stop erosion has blocked access and curtailed use of this area.

I noted, when swimming last week out from 37th Street, that I was the only person enjoying a late after-noon dip from lake front bounded by 40th Street to the east end of Lakeshore Drive. This was a beauti-ful day with excellent water tempera-ture.

It is time council, that you stopped grasping at straws looking for quick-fix solutions while spending our tax money. Stop embarrassing your-selves and the town and deal with the current issue.

Concentrate your efforts and work with the local citizenry to return the beautiful beach by taking the lead with this issue and insist that whomever is holding up progress toward the only solution cease and desist.

You can’t wait one year, let alone five, as was suggested. If you do, tumbleweeds, denoting a ghost town, will be blowing down Lakeshore Drive as well as main street.

A request for a speed limit reduction has been sent to the town’s operational services committee for a second review.

The request involves 50A Avenue between 33rd Street (formerly Highway 11A) and the Summer Village of Jarvis Bay boundary.

Resident Ran White, on behalf of Sylvan Lake Holding Society, asked for a

reduction of the maximum speed to 30 km/hr. The function of the society, which has been in existence for about 50 years, is to protect and maintain the lake front-age of homes along 50A Avenue at the extreme east end of Sylvan Lake townsite.

Speed limit on 50A Avenue to be reviewedCurrently the speed limit on the short stretch of

road in town is 40 km/hr. Immediately east of 50A Avenue where the street enters the Summer Village of Jarvis Bay, the speed limit is 30 km/hr. Then Lakeshore Drive just west of the junction of 50A Avenue is also 30 km/hr.

“This has an occasional effect of spurring driv-ers to speed up excessively when they enter this stretch of road,” White said in a letter.

Speaking to council, he said for three seasons it’s not a problem, but during the summer the area is busy with pedestrians. There are no sidewalks or bicycle paths on the street.

The group’s request was originally presented to the town’s operational services committee last November. “The committee considered your request and directed staff to take no action to change the speed limits as currently posted at this time,” wrote Allan Gassor, director of operations, following that meeting.

The society’s request made sense to Councillor Sean McIntyre. “I think a 30 km speed limit is warranted, particularly with no sidewalks.”

Councillor Dale Plante agreed. “I was on op. services and the biggest concern was the narrow-ness of the road, the lack of sidewalks, especially with people parking parallel to the road. I don’t think it was about volume, it’s about safety of the road.”

However Councillor Laverne Asselstine didn’t agree. “I hate to see ranging speeds in the com-munity. When you start changing speed limits, going up and down, people don’t pay attention and get in a position where they’re speeding. The stan-dard speed limit in the community is 40. Keeping the same throughout the community is fair.”

Later he added, the town should be looking at the bigger picture and “have engineering look at upgrading the road surface, put in a sidewalk. We should be looking at that as the picture”.

Councillors voted to send the request back to the operational services committee for review and recommendation back to council.

A BOAT LOAD OF FEARBy Steve RoweThe Gideons Int. in Canada

John Chapter 6 is about Jesus feeding the 5000 men excluding family members and Jesus walking on the water. Both of these stories are documented Miracles. After Jesus fed the multitude, He went into the mountains to be alone. Why? Probably to pray.

In verse 17 we read the disciples got into a boat to cross over toward Capernaum. 3 or 4 miles crossing the lake a ‘gale’ swoops down on the boat full of disciples. In Verse 19........suddenly.......the disciples in the middle of the storm see Jesus walking towards them. The disciples were.....terri ed...... Jesus calls out to the disciples and says.....don’t be afraid.

Verse 21, then they(the disciples) ......we’re willing to let him in the boat and immediately or straightway the boat was at the land.

Notice.......THEY WERE WILLING TO LET JESUS

IN THE BOAT. Q. How often does fear create storms in our lives? Fear

will often blind a persons reasoning to see an out or solution. This story of A BOAT LOAD OF FEAR is no different than people who are in fear......yes....A BODY LOAD OF FEAR.

The disciples were so scared, they were not even going to let Jesus in the boat.

Someone said when “ fear walks in, faith walks out. Jesus will never come into your boat or life unless He is invited.

If you have fear or are scared, let this be the day that you let.....The Prince of Peace calm your storm and come into your life. Hebrews 13:5 con rms that Jesus......will never leave you or abandon you. If you are dealing with habitual fear, ask your pastor or priest for help. They will help you nd peace and then you will have......A BOAT LOAD OF FAITH.

A Red Deer man is facing charges following a collision which closed Highway 11 west of Sylvan Lake for over two hours Saturday morning.

Sylvan Lake RCMP, firefighters and Associated Ambulance personnel arrived at the scene to find a Jeep Liberty on its roof and a pick-up truck with a heavily damaged front driver’s corner on the shoulder of the opposite lane.

An 80 year old woman from Red Deer, the driver of the Jeep, suffered minor injuries. She was transported to Red Deer Regional Hospital by ambulance and released later in the day.

A third vehicle, following the Jeep, struck debris from the collision. No one in that vehicle was injured. The crash happened about 9:30 a.m.

Both east and westbound traffic was detoured around the crash scene until about noon.

Investigation determined the east bound GMC pick-up truck crossed the centre line and collided with the westbound Jeep, according to Cpl. James Allemekinders.

The uninjured driver of the truck, Anthony Richard Watts, 35, of Red Deer, has been charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm and

transporting liquor in an open container. “Alcohol was a factor in this collision”, said

Allemekinders in a news release.

80 year old woman received minor

injuries in crash that closed highway

An 80 year old woman from Red Deer suffered mi-nor injuries when her Jeep Liberty was sideswiped by an oncoming pick-up and rolled into the ditch west of Range Road 15 on Highway 11 about 9:30 Saturday morning. No one else was injured in the three vehicle collision. STEVE DILLS

councillors the night of their meeting, detailing costs of staff time as well as hours volunteered by both Lebsack and John Eastwood, the town’s rec-reation and parks man-ager. The total was $14,253.

Despite the deficit, Lebsack noted local groups were utilized with Sylvan Lake Admirals and Lighthouse Christian School receiving approxi-mately $2,500 for services they provided. The Admirals looked after the beer garden. High school phys. ed. students were also involved as part of a practicum.

The committee which organizes the event includes five town staff members and four members of the community — Darren Field and Michelle Becker with Hockey Central, Terry Somerville with Terry’s Lease Maintenance and Jason Golden who helps with sponsorships.

“Attending the function it seemed like a lot of town employees were involved. I’m wondering why there’s not more support,” said Councillor Laverne Asselstine. “It raised questions in my mind.”

Stating he supports festivals and events which bring a level of economic impact to the town, Councillor Sean McIntyre said the town also has to “provide a level of accountability. I was hoping for more detail in the report. I think it would be good to assess the true cost of this event and other events.”

He continued, “It’s clear in my mind these types of events do add, they’re not always going to add up on paper, but you can’t measure social impact, civic pride, on paper. Because we’re spending tax dollars in a visible way, we need to account for that.”

Asselstine stated he’d like to see someone other than the town take over the lead role. “I think it’s appropriate that we’re involved, but I think this is a bit excessive.”

“Winter events, whether they’re pond hockey or speed skating, are critical to the economy in Sylvan Lake,” said Mayor Susan Samson. “I don’t think anyone is saying they should disappear … For the comfort level of council, we need greater accountability. But when I look at the magnitude of that task, we don’t have the ability to analyze every event where the town is the lead.” She proposed a year lead time before asking staff for that level of detail.

Betty Osmond, the town’s chief administrative offi-cer added, the analysis is not in work plans nor has it been identified by councillors during strategic planning so hasn’t been put on the priority list. “If it’s a priority

of council we will arrange the work,” she said alluding to the fact other priorities would need to be shuffled.

Samson suggested councillors revisit the issue dur-ing through the strategic planning process in the fall and set a direction then. “It’s clear what we want today is not available without action steps.”

Plante said part of the tourism strategy is to attract events to Sylvan Lake and agreed it’s not unreasonable to set up a template for reviewing events. “I’d like to see these types of expenditures broken out, not rolled into a general category. I’m not here to crucify pond hockey, but how do we make it better?”

“I think accountability and transparency are one of our strategic priorities,” pressed McIntyre. “Accountability is already expected of is. The expecta-tion is there, if not being communicated for council, it is being communicated by the public.”

“To have staff expend time required is not on my priority list,” said Samson. “Until we start knocking things off, I am not prepared to look at pond hockey in isolation.”

She said the town runs many other events and they should all be examined in the same way.

McIntyre made a motion that administration pro-vide a financial report and review of each town event at the end of each quarter in which the event took place, effective the beginning of 2014.

Councillor Graham Parsons reminded councillors that when they looked at quarterly work plans in a pre-vious meeting they were “concerned with things not getting done in what we think is a timely fashion. I think we have to put it off, bring in a plan at a later date and do it right. We just don’t have enough staff to do it now.”

The motion passed with McIntyre, Plante, Asselstine and Rick Grimson in favour and Samson and Parsons against.

Questions about the viability of the town-sponsored pond hockey tourna-ment were raised by several councillors when they reviewed a report covering the past five years.

Councillor Dale Plante requested information about the tournament at a previous council meeting and had ques-tions when Ron Lebsack, director of community services, presented a report at the July 22 council meeting.

“I enjoyed going down and watching, it’s not an issue whether there’s value in the event,” he said.

But he asked, “are we good stewards of town money, is it a viable event? Is it at the point it can be handed off to another group?”

Plante noted the tournament only lost $3,100 last year, but there was over $15,000 in wages for town employees not calculated into that number.

Lebsack’s report estimated conserva-tively that the three day tournament has a “direct economic impact on the local

economy of over $32,000”.“If you took away the town support

would it survive?” asked Plante before answering the question himself. “The answer is no, 80 per cent of the work done is by town staff.” Figures presented didn’t include any of the town equip-ment used in preparing the ice.

“I think this one has to have some review,” he said. “I don’t think it’s carry-ing itself. I think we’re not getting a good bang for our buck. We’re putting more out than I think residents would sup-port.”

Lebsack’s report indicated there were 36 teams entered the first year and that climbed to 54 the second year. In the fol-lowing years that number has fallen to 48, 30 and 26 teams respectively.

The cost to the town the first year was estimated at $18,000 while the event made a profit of $6,400 in the second year and $1,000 in each of the third and fourth years before losing $3,100 in 2013. These figures didn’t include what the town put in through manpower or equipment usage.

Calling all cat lovers. An urgent plea is being issued for people to adopt or foster cats who have been looked after by an unsung hero, an elderly lady who’s health is declining.

“Ideally, if 12 people stepped up to take a kitty each, that would solve the problem in part,” said Melanie Crehan of Serenity Pet Shelter Society.

Sheila Turner, 79, has been rescuing,

feeding, taming and even looking after a feral colony for nearly 20 years, she said. When Rainbow trailer park was torn down, many hundreds of cats were aban-doned. She helped as many as possible, always seeking to keep her neighbours informed in her gentle and humble way. Now she needs the help of the commu-nity.

Crehan said Turner, who is the soci-ety’s treasurer, is one of the reasons Serenity Pet Shelter Society was started.

Turner is a very humble, caring and Continued on page 15

6000 Garbage receptacles (for automated collection)

The Town of Sylvan Lake Public Works Department is accepting sealed tenders for the provision of 6000 garbage receptacles. The closing date for this tender opportunity is Monday, August 19 at 10 A.M.

These receptacles are specialized for use with an automated garbage collection vehicle, each with a capacity of approximately 240 litres.

Tender packages are available at the Public Works building, located at 1 Industrial Drive, until the tender closing. Information is available by contacting Mr. John Watson, Public Works Manager at 403-887-2800.


A fundraising consultant has been hired by the town as it works to raise $2 million towards construction of a new multiplex.

Councillors awarded a con-tract to KCI for fundraising consulting services to a maxi-mum amount of $55,000, dur-ing their meeting July 22.

The company’s proposal was one of two received from national companies with Alberta offices as the result of a

request for proposals.“The difference between the

two proposals was that KCI provided an increased service level through additional sup-port and training for local vol-unteers and committee mem-bers,” wrote Ron Lebsack, director of community servic-

es, in his report to council. Councillor Laverne

Asselstine asked what the mul-tiplex fund development com-mittee is getting for the money.

The answer came from Councillor Dale Plante who’s a member of the committee. “They open a sphere of influ-

ence for us. They train us as volunteers. Define the project in terms of what we’re able to do, tell us, here’s what you have to sell, how to go about it, how to engage the community, how to engage the corporate com-munity. ”

“It’s important to engage

professionals,” said Councillor Sean McIntyre. “When you consider the capacity of volun-teers going after it as laypeople, it’s a good balance between seeking professional help as well as getting the task force involved on the ground level.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS

Continued from page 11gentle person. She

always answers people’s questions kindly, is always aware of a cat in need, never questions that she will help, said Crehan. “I just can’t say enough good things about her contri-bution over the years to the community seeing to the needs of the animals.”

“We really need to find homes for these cats so they can continue to live

well and prosper,” said Crehan. An alternative to adopting a cat would be to foster them. That means Serenity pays the expens-es, said Crehan. “We’d prefer if they’d just take them on, but if they can’t this is the second best thing.”

“I don’t know how many hundreds of cats she’s helped care for but it’s been a lot,” she said. Now as Turner is getting

older, her mobility is a lit-tle challenged and she’s finding it difficult to get around and look after her cats.

Besides the cats she has, Turner also looks after a feral colony, mak-ing sure they’re spayed, neutered and released.

Crehan said last year they missed ‘fixing’ two of the cats and now there are nine kittens and the soci-ety’s funds are almost

gone.Last year the group

received a bit of help from the town through Project Turnaround, “but this year they haven’t even replied to a letter written one year ago”.

Crehan said they’d love for people to take on the feral cats. “Just stop by and make sure they have food, water, that they have shelter.” The benefit of keeping the colony

healthy is “they keep the rodent population down to nothing. If we didn’t have feral cats we would have a real problem”.

Crehan also issued a “generalized plea for peo-ple to spay and neuter their animals. “A breeding pair, exponentially, can reproduce up to 400,000 cats in the space of five to seven years,” she said. “We certainly don’t want that.”

Of the plea for help,

Crehan said, “there comes a time when people get older and although they don’t want to ask for help, help needs to be request-ed.”

If you’re interested in helping, please contact Sheila Turner at 403-887-5422 or Melanie Crehan at 403-505-2925. To learn more about the society, c h e c k w w w.SylvanLakeSerenityPet-ShelterSociety.com.

For the third year in a row, ‘Liam’ is Alberta’s most popular baby boys’ name while ‘Emma’ became the top choice for baby girls.

In 2012, 281 families chose the name Liam and 299 families intro-duced a new Emma to the world, tak-ing the name from third to first on the list of popular girls’ names.

Alberta parents also delivered a record number of babies in 2012, with 52,398 births — 27,030 boys and

25,368 girls — in the province last year. That surpasses the previous record of 51,505 in 2009 and the 2011 tally of 50,841.

“We are in what looks like a sus-tained baby boom,” said Service Alberta Minister Manmeet S. Bhullar. “Alberta is a national eco-nomic leader with rapid job growth, high wages and a relatively young population, not to mention the prov-ince’s abundant natural beauty, so it’s little surprise so many Albertans are starting families here.”

Place names were a popular choice for baby monikers, including Cairo,

Boston, Rio, Denver, Memphis and Israel for boys; and Montana, Alabama, Ireland, Jersey, Germany and Alberta for girls.

Among the one-of-a-kind names chosen for Alberta newborns were Precious, Dancing-Sunflower, Rhaney-Day, Shy-Angel, Beautiful and Skeeter for girls; and Thunderbolt, Little, Horizon, Brave, and Icarus for boys.

Alberta can also lay claim to its own royal babies with the names King, Prince and Lord appearing for boys; and the name Princess regis-tered 12 times for girls.

Music, spirituality, nature, politics and celebrity seemed to have inspired some families with names such as: Lyric, Symphony and Chorus; Divinity, Eternity and Heaven; Cedar, Wren and Rainbow; Nixon, Kennedy and Reagan; and Adele, Lennon, Hendrix, and Minaj appearing on the list.

Some parents were creative with punctuation and spelling: Brooklyn had variations including Brooklin, Brooklen, Brookelyn, Brooklynn and Brooklyne; some names such as Margret-Joan-Jean were double-hyphenated.

The Vital Statistics branch of Service Alberta recorded 5,979 dis-tinct boy names and 7,158 distinct girl names in 2012. The figures are based on reports to date from hospitals and birthing centres. Final numbers and a complete list of names will be avail-able once all the information is col-lected and compiled later this year.

Albertans may download the new free Alberta Baby Names app for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The app has more than 81,000 Alberta baby names and their popularity going back to 1980 to help parents pick a name for their newborn.

Saturday, July 27th1:15 a.m. – A routine patrol by

RCMP in Bentley resulted in charges being laid against a 32-year-old male.

Her clothes had also been partially torn off. The 29-year-old victim told police that she had been punched and

During twilight hours on July 13th, Gordie Laverty and the rest of the Cal Frac member crew — Nathan Barlow, Adam Marler and Stephen Linten — stepped up to the tee box on Hole 15 at Meadowlands Golf Club.

Gordie drove his ball, and uncertain of where it ended up, he just figured it had rolled over the green into the sandtrap.

When the guys went to look, low and behold, the ball was in the hole! Congrats Gordie on the second hole-in-one of the season!

“It was a fantastic experience,” said head coach Al Letendre. “Even though we came second, it was extremely successful. It was a win-win on all accounts.”

Sylvan Lake’s Tanner Smith was one of the 16 play-ers born in 2000 who made the trip, and enjoyed facing tough opposition.

“The best part was how intense the games were,” he said.

He added that he was extremely grateful to his coach, his parents and sponsors who made the trip pos-sible.

“It was just a lot of fun being with all my teammates and all my friends. It will be in the back of my head for my whole life.”

Of the seven games they played during the tourna-ment, the Generals won four. They faced teams from all over the United States, and narrowly lost in the final 3-2

International competition created lasting memoriesto a team from Dallas, Texas.

Off the ice, players, coaches and parents enjoyed sightseeing and exploring Philadelphia. Attending a Philadelphia Phillies baseball game was just one of the trip’s highlights.

Khale Skinner of Sylvan Lake was interested to find how hockey is viewed differently between the United States and Canada.

“They just have a whole different perception,” he said, adding that the experience of playing in the tour-nament has made him a better hockey player.

“It was just a really good experience.”Having no knowledge of the opposition his team

would face, Sylvan Lake’s Kale Seelen admitted he didn’t know what to expect at the tournament.

“We just didn’t know what they were like,” he said. “We’ve never met them, we’ve never seen them play, we’ve never heard of them; they were completely differ-ent.”

Not knowing what he and his teammates were up against, he said, just enhanced the tournament experi-ence.

“We were just kind of going with what we got. I was proud of the players that I played with.”

For Letendre, the tournament was not a first. He’s attended and coached at OneHockey tournaments all around North America, and knew that with so many talented players in the area, he would be able to assem-ble a team capable of competing.

Yet, winning was not the priority he set for his team. Instead, he wanted to ensure his players were given a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable hockey experience.

“When we decided that we were going to go for it, I made it very clear that it was the experience of playing in a different country, in a different environment and against different players, was what it was about,” he said.

Feedback from his players, at the end of the trip, he described as “unbelievable”.

“It was an experience that they will cherish for a really long time, and that’s really what it was about.”

by Stuart FullartonSylvan Lake News

A large variety of things to see and do attracted people from all over Central Alberta to Leslieville Saturday and Sunday.

Central Alberta Antique and Model Club’s annual Antique Days offered a number of pioneer-related events and activities.

They included demonstrations in bread making and cinnamon bun making, a flea market, and the ever-popular tractor pull, which hosted 82 tractors.

“It went really well, it was phenomenal,” said club secretary and tractor pull organizer Deanne Mosset.

Although numbers for the tractor pull were down slightly, gate admission for the entire weekend was up, according to Mosset.

Final numbers were not available at press time, but Mosset said she learned admission was up almost $2,000.

“There’s just more features and more stuff for the kids to do,” she said. “It’s family oriented, there’s lots to see and lots to do.”

Participating in the tractor pull were contestants from all over Alberta, including places as far away as Vermilion and Lethbridge.

It’s just one of a number of tractor pulls held in Central Alberta; others take place throughout the sum-mer in Markerville, Lacombe and Leduc.

The flea market — offering everything from aprons to wooden pop guns — proved to be a hit once again. It’s large variety of items offered has made it a highlight for those who attend the event each year, said Mosset.

“There’s just so much stuff there.”A new stationary airplane for children to ride in was

introduced to the event for the first time; the lineup of children waiting to get on it was indicative of its instant popularity.

Mosset said there was a large mixture of people at the event, which included those who attend it annually, as well as those who attended for the first time.

Attendees’ ages varied, she added.“From what I heard from the people at the gates,

there were people of all ages, from zero to 99.”The success of the event was due largely to volun-

teers who worked tirelessly in the days and months leading up to the event, and during it, said Mosset.

Setting up, taking down and cleaning are just some of the tasks required by the club’s volunteers in ensuring the event’s success.

The club will meet in October to begin planning next year’s Antique Days, which takes place every year during the first weekend in August. As is typical with

each event, new features and attractions will be added.“It’s pretty much the same venue, it’s just every year

there seems to be something added,” said Mosset. “Every year we try to do a new project.”

A new announcer shack may be added in time for next year’s event.

The event’s open-style concept, however, will remain the same.

“People just pay at the gate, park their car, and they’re free to walk the grounds where everything is,” said Mosset. “If you’re into the venue, and you’re into antique stuff, it’s a lot of fun.”

Results from the tractor pull, in order of first, second and third place, are as follows:

Featherweight, 0-3,999 LB: Robin Larsen; Hal Lougheed; David Lougheed.

Class 1, 4,000-4,999 LB: William Crocker; Boris Heshka; Terry Hanlon.

Class 2, 5,000-5,999 LB: Keith Crocker; Jeff Dell; Len Aucoin.

Class 3, 6,000-6,999 LB: Howard Hildebrand; Rod Leighton; Jared Nafziger.

Class 4, 7,000-8,499 LB: Ken Jones; William Crocker; Reg Mosset.

Class 5, 8,500-9,999 LB: Keith Crocker; Howard Fleming; Jared Nafziger.

Class 6, 10,000-plus LB: Melissa Stark; Jared Nafziger.

Antique Days a hit once again at antique and model club’s facility

There were plenty of musicians to please the listening crowd at Leslieville Antique Days at Central Alberta Antique and Model Club’s facility southeast of the community on Saturday and Sun-day.

A horse drawn Coldwell Lawn Mower do-nated by Sylvan Lake Golf Club is one of the pieces of equipment that was displayed at the Central Alberta Antique and Model Club’s antique days Saturday and Sunday.

Youngsters of all ages enjoyed rides on the Royal Scott Steam Train at Central Alberta Antique and Model Club’s facility southeast of Leslieville Saturday and Sunday.

Tractors of all colours, shapes and states of repair were displayed dur-ing antique days at Central Alberta Antique and Model Club’s events on Saturday and Sunday. Some of the names were familiar while other brands have been absorbed into current companies or have sim-ply disappeared over the years. Many were also used in the parades, tractor pulls and slow pulls, two events which were highlights for the audience.

Howard Shields of Delburne drove a restored 1943 W9 McCormick trac-tor in the tractor pull Saturday af-ternoon during competition at Central Alberta Antique and Mod-el Club’s events at their facility south-east of Leslieville.

Horse drawn wagons were used to move people around the site at Central Alberta An-tique and Model Club’s events on the week-end.
