Freedom - École Our Lady of the Rosary students, parents, staff and guests gath-ered to remember those who gave their lives for freedom during a Remembrance Day cere-mony last week.

Learner’s permit driver clocked going 83 km/h over speed limitSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A 26-year-old Sylvan Lake man is facing several charges after he was clocked driving 123 km/h in a 40 km/h zone over the weekend.

A pick-up truck was stopped after a community peace officer with the Town’s Municipal Enforcement Unit

witnessed it exceeding the speed limit by 83 km/h during ‘Selective Traffic Enforcement’ on 50 Ave. Saturday morning.

The officer subsequently request-ed assistance from RCMP, who stopped the truck and learned that its driver had only an Alberta Class 7 learner’s permit.

The driver was arrested for speed-ing and dangerous driving, and also

had an outstanding traffic warrant from Edmonton. The truck was towed following the incident.

The man, whose name hasn’t yet been released, has been charged with dangerous driving, speed-ing and driving without proper supervision.

He’ll appear in Red Deer Provincial Court Jan. 9.

Police say traffic enforcement in the area was “in response to complaints of speeding vehicles from residents in the area.”

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Sylvan Lake Legion awarded three post-secondary students with bursaries from the Poppy Fund at the Legion on Saturday.

Student recipients were required to prove their educational enrol-ment and that the’ve had family involved in the military, according to Poppy Fund chair Sharon Graham.

“This is to go to needy students,” she said. “If you win the lottery and then try and get money from us it won’t work, but with the cost of university now, we feel that pretty much all students are needing it.”

Darby Desrosiers, Alex Palm and Christopher Bryant were the three bursary recipients. All were appreciative of the money they were given.

Desrosiers’s great-grandfather and two great-uncles were both WWII veterans. She’s a first-year geology stu-dent who is attending Mount Royal University, and plans to go to Iceland for two weeks to study tectonic plates and volcanoes.

“I’m really excited,” she said. “I’m the only first-year student going on the trip and the bur-sary money helps out a lot. I’m going to use the money for my trip to Iceland and my educa-

tion.” Bryant’s grandfather was a WWII

veteran as well. He’s a third-year welder at Red Deer College and said

Sharon and Gord Graham, represent-ing the Sylvan Lake Legion, with Poppy Fund educational bursary recipients Christopher Bryant, Darby Desrosiers and Alex Palm at the Legion on Sat-urday. JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN R

69 years ago ...From the issue of November 7, 1945Sylvan Lake Unit Goes Over the

Top Tuesday. Dominion nears objec-tive. Sylvan Lake wins one of the spe-cial awards - a facsimile of the Surrender Documents.

Sylvan Lake unit went over the top in the Ninth Victory Loan on Tuesday

with a total of $108,250 on its $99,000 quota, for a percentage of 109.2. On top of the great showing achieved by the ladies of the I.O.D.E. in the village, rural canvassers have done a magnifi-cent job too. Their work in the loan came at a time when most of the rural population were still harvesting, then storm bound roads added to their dif-ficulties.

The Air Cadet hockey team will be given instructions at practice by Mr. Jake Bulmer.

William Marks , who opens his electrical shop on Tuesday, obtained his discharge from the R.C.A.F. last month. While in the Air Force he was a radar mechanic and instructor. Associated with him will be another

returned Air Force man, Mr. J. C. Baker of Brandon, who was in the R.C.A.F. for nearly five years, mostly as an instructor (radar) with previous radio experience.

50 years ago ...From the issue of November 19, 1964

If this district were ever contami-nated by radioactive fallout, how would we know when it would be safe to come out of our houses or basements?

This and many other questions will be dealt with at a Radiation Monitor’s Course at Sylvan Lake School the eve-nings of Nov. 23, 24, 25 and 26. The course is being sponsored by Sylvan Lake Emergency Measures.

One nomination for councillor was

received by Returning Officer Jack May last Thursday — that of Andy Kinasewich. However, on checking requirements for a councillor, the Town and Village Act states that a candidate for councillor must have his name entered upon the assessment roll and upon the voters’ list of the municipality.

Mr. Kinasewich, as president of Kemo Holdings Limited, does not have his name on either of the lists, and so is not an eligible candidate.

The 1964-65 curling season got away to a good start with a mixed bonspiel, commencing Monday eve-ning, Nov. 16. Forty rinks are entered for three events. Play is being carried forward in evenings with two draws each night.


I was fulfilling my reporting duties by attending and photograph-ing two Remembrance Day ceremo-nies last week — one at Eckville High School, the other at the Sylvan Lake Lodge. I love my job, but that day out of all days, I experienced a real light bulb moment.

Both ceremonies were beautiful and paid due respect to veterans and fallen soldiers. But it wasn’t until I met Ken McBlane, a WWII veteran, at the Sylvan Lake Lodge that I was hit by the reality of what Remembrance Day is truly about.

After our conversation, I am now even more motivated to commemo-rate Remembrance Day and show my respect to veterans and fallen

soldiers. Remembrance Day is an opportunity for me to personally thank them.

At the Lodge’s ceremony, I stood and listened to the solemn music playing, and my mind took me back in time.

I imagined Ken as a young man and working in an office, as he told me he wasn’t on the front lines, but was still serving in the war. I then imagined myself wearing a nurse’s uniform and looking after men who had been wounded in combat.

The war would have been in every aspect of people’s lives: No matter who you were, you were affected by it somehow.

Being a 29-year-old woman, my husband would have been sent away to fight. For contact, I would have had to rely on receiving precious

Remembrance Day:An opportunity to say thank you

paper letters sent all the way from the trenches. How precious it would have been to receive letters telling me that my husband is still alive.

I imagine I would have had at least two kids, but these kids would have been growing up living with Grandma and Grandpa while their mother (me) was serving as a nurse to show her allegiance to her coun-try. Who knows when or if I would see them again.

Now, I will admit right now that I literally can’t imagine what that would be like as I do not have chil-dren. I can only speculate the hor-rors that would be brought upon a mother who is ripped away from her own flesh and blood because she is forced to put her allegiance to her

country first and foremost, and above her family.

When I finally came back to real-ity, I realized that I owed the man sitting beside me a huge thank you. And that’s exactly what I told him.

I owed Ken a huge thank you for not only my freedom, but for being brave and helping to make this coun-try as great as it is.

With a new awareness of what Canadian life was like during the war, I want to express my gratitude to all veterans and fallen soldiers who sacrificed more than I could ever dream of.

Thank you for providing us with a country where we are free to be our-selves, dream big and reach our per-sonal aspirations.

Ceremony - Sylvan Lake News features writer Jasmine O’Halloran–Han with WWII veteran Ken McBlane during a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Sylvan Lake Lodge last week.

Council approves draft budget for

circulationSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Circulation of the Town of Sylvan Lake’s 2015-2017 draft budget was approved by council Monday night. A period allowing for public input will now precede the budget’s final approval on Dec. 8.

No changes were made to the budget proposed from recent delib-erations. It includes a residential tax rate increase of 3 per cent for 2015, and a rate freeze on non-residential.

Much of the increase is a result of the NexSource Centre and projects associated with a recent infrastruc-ture study.

A structural change will also be made to the Town’s Recreation, Parks and Culture department, which is proposed to become separate Parks and Recreation and Culture depart-ments.

That change, according to Town

staff, will help deal with increased operational demands resulting from the NexSource Centre, and allow a higher commitment to maintaining parks and enhancing culture-based programming.

The draft budget is available for viewing online on the Town’s web-site, and in person at the library and the Municipal Government Building.

It will also be presented during an open house at the Municipal Government Building on Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In another matter, council on Monday also awarded a contract for the demolition of the old arena and curling rink.

It was awarded to Clearview Grinding Ltd. of Surrey, B.C. at an amount no higher than $312,000.

The demolition, which staff are hoping to see carried out by the end of the year, will clear the way for the construction of the NexSource Centre.

REMEMBERING?Your mind is an incredible gift.

When I hear of someone recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s I become more aware of it. One of the great abilities of your mind is the ability to “re-call” or to “remember” what has happened before.

Hopefully you have a great memory of Remembrance Day this year. You may recall it fondly because:

-you had the day off

-you were able to sleep in

-you thought of a family member / friend who served in war time

-you participated in a Remembrance Day Service

-you were able to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy in Canada

Remembering can be enlightening, enriching and encouraging.

As Christ’s followers we are asked to remember too. At the last supper Jesus shared bread and wine as symbols of his body to be broken and his blood to be shed. At the supper he said, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19).

Will you take this moment right now and recall his amazing love for you?

Alliance Community Church



Operation Christmas Child is now well under-way, and there’s still time to fill a shoebox for a less-fortunate child somewhere in the world.

The Sylvan Lake Alliance Church has been participating in the program for about 20 years now, and acts as one of the community’s drop-off locations.

Each year, the church takes in roughly between 400 and 500 boxes, according to lead pastor Kevin Haugan.

“You can fill a box with wonderful stuff for the cost of two cups of coffee,” he said. “A little bit of effort and money on our part means so much to somebody else in this big world.”

Haugan said he’s known families who fill one box for each child in their family. It’s something simple and meaningful for people around the world to enjoy, and he feels glad to be a part of it.

Even though he’s never personally handed out shoeboxes, he’s heard many stories from those who have.

Friends have told him of children lining up to receive a box, and the positive behaviour they showed in doing so.

“For me, as a believer, I pray over the stuff I put inside the box that it will go to the child that needs it the most,” Haugan said. “I’ve heard of things like people putting in a pair of slippers and the slippers actually fit that child.”

Former children’s ministry co-ordinator Stacia Dyck has helped kids fill shoeboxes for their own age group. She said the kids are encouraged to pack things they would want for themselves.

“It’s a fun way of getting the kids in the church involved in it, and a good way to give to somebody else at Christmas time,” she said. “The heart behind the whole project is really cool because the kids in Canada just get so much for Christmas. It’s fun to let the kids pack a box themselves and learn about giving to another kid.”

Empty boxes can be picked up from the church and returned full by Nov. 16. Other participating churches and groups around the community may have different drop-off deadlines.

Sylvan Lake Alliance Church associate pastor Jim Rilling and children’s ministry co-ordinator Ashley Thomas pose with Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes filled with toys, colouring pen-cils, paper, toothbrushes and other essentials that will be distributed to less fortunate chil-dren around the world.

Police investigating rash of vehicle break-insOctober 31

5:00 a.m. – RCMP are investigat-ing a rash of break and enters into garages and vehicles in Sylvan Lake. The first complaint received was in relation to a garage break in at a resi-dence on Lindman Close. Access was gained to the garage via a remote control from inside an unlocked vehicle parked in the driveway. A wallet containing a driver’s license and credit cards was stolen with one of credit cards used at a gas station in Red Deer. Another break in occurred to a vehicle parked in front of a resi-dence on Laurel Road. The victim’s work vehicle was entered and a wallet was stolen from inside the truck. A credit card inside the wallet was used at a gas station in Red Deer.

2:39 p.m. – A break in to a vehicle parked on Lark Close in Sylvan Lake resulted in a few items stolen. In this case, the owner believed that she may have left the vehicle unlocked while it was parked outside her residence. Another break in, this time to a

garage at a home on Falcon Close, result-ed in some tools being stolen as well as Christmas gifts from a vehicle parked outside the residence.

November 110:49 a.m. –

RCMP were called to a domestic dis-pute in Bentley. A couple was report-edly fighting at a residence on 48th Avenue. Members arrived on scene and separated both parties. A 39-year-old male and a 32-year-old female advised that they were having a verbal argument but it had not become physical. An assault was confirmed not to have taken place and both parties separated for the evening with no charges laid.

6:44 p.m. – A 41-year-old Rocky Mountain House resident is facing a Criminal Code charge in relation to a

traffic stop. The male was driving a vehicle which was stopped road-side by Lacombe County Peace Officers on 48th Street in Eckville. The driver was confirmed to be prohibited from driving so RCMP officers were called to assist and arrested the male at the scene. He was formally charged with driving while disqualified.

November 21:22 a.m. – RCMP conducted a

traffic stop on 60th Street at Wildrose Drive in Sylvan Lake after a vehicle was observed being

driven erratically. The 49-year-old female driver exhibited clear signs of intoxication and empty alcohol containers were also located inside the vehicle. Damage was also observed on the front of the vehicle which matched damage sustained to a parked vehicle in the vicinity. The accused’s vehicle was seized and towed at the scene. The female was charged with impaired driving; refusing to provide a breath sample; and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

November 65:43 a.m. – Police and EMS were called to the

scene of a rollover on Highway 12 at Range Road

4-1 in Lacombe County. A truck had rolled in the ditch and sustained heavy damage. Fortunately, the 42-year-old male driver escaped with minor inju-ries, mostly cuts to the head, and was transported to hospital for treatment. The cause of the rollover is undetermined.

11:17 p.m. – RCMP attended a location along Highway 11 near Benalto after a report of a male hitchhiker walking westbound just east of Benalto. A complainant advised that the male was dressed completely in black and walking on the edge of the highway making him

very difficult to see by passing motorists. A 28-year-old male was located and was arrested for public intoxication. He was lodged in cells until sober.

November 76:22 a.m. – A domestic dispute on 47th Avenue

in Sylvan Lake resulted in charges being laid against a 35-year-old Sylvan Lake female. A 911 call was received by a 42-year-old male advising that his ex-girlfriend was damaging property inside his residence. He attempted to escort the female off the property without success and contacted police. The female was found to be intoxicated and was throwing items out of the residence when police arrived. The female fought with police during the arrest and was charged with resisting a peace offi-

cer and mischief under $5,000.

6:26 p.m. – RCMP were called to a single-vehicle collision on Range Road 20 in Red Deer County. The vehicle had left the roadway, traveled into a ditch and collided with some trees. A vehicle passenger was found to be on condi-tions not to be in a motor vehicle unless the registered owner was present and not to have contact with another female who was also a passenger in the same vehicle. As a result, a 19-year-old Red Deer female was charged with three counts of failing to comply with condi-tions of a recognizance.

STUART FULLARTONSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Heavy snowfall earlier this week created a fes-tive feeling around town, with many Sylvan Lakers now turning their attention to the Spirit of Sylvan Yuletide Festival and Market Nov. 28 and 29.

The event, now in its third year, has typically taken place in both the Multiplex and the arena. This year, in the arena’s absence, it will take place at the Multiplex alone.

Despite having less space to work with, orga-

Yuletide Festival returning later this monthnizers are promising the event will be bigger and better than ever, with plenty of festive entertain-ment and activities to kick off the holiday season.

“We’ve got a variety of just everything,” said organizing committee chair Graham Parsons. “The primary function of the whole event is to put on a really nice Christmas festival for the public.”

The family-oriented festival will see plenty of Christmas-related entertainment taking place, including performances by various singers and choirs. There will also be a kids area, live and silent auctions, draws and a Christmas-themed market.

Plans for gingerbread house and ugly sweater contests were also being finalized at press time.

Parsons said organizers tried to include “every-

thing about Christmas” in the festi-val, which began three years ago when former Sylvan Lake resident Earl Chadwick put forth the idea to Parsons.

“He saw the Santa Claus Parade, and he thought it would be a great idea for it to end at the Multiplex,” said Parsons. “When we almost lost the parade in 2011, I was thinking about it, and I talked to then-Coun-cillor (Sean) McIntyre, who had put on festivals, and he said why not. So we formed a little committee back then in 2011 and we worked the whole year for the 2012 event.”

At that time, committee members were unsure of how their newly cre-ated festival would unfold, he added.

“We had a goal, but we didn’t know how we were going to get there.”

The absence of the festival’s previ-ous hockey- and skating-related events will only be temporary, assured Parsons. They’ll return, and

be accompanied by new events, upon the completion of the NexSource Centre, he said.

But organizers aren’t looking that far ahead just yet, and are focused on making this year’s event one to remember.

They’ve now got plenty of experi-ence under their belts: A large major-ity of the festival’s organizing com-mittee grouped together to organize the town’s Hockeyville festivities ear-lier this year.

It’s a group of people Parsons enjoys working with.

“It’s a fun committee, and every-body enjoys it,” he said.

As has been the case in previous years, proceeds from the festival and market will be donated to the Ambulatory Care Centre (formerly Urgent Care). The event, since its inception, has raised nearly $25,000 for that cause.

“There are a lot of charities that could use help, but this one affects

the whole community and district, so that’s why we’re continuing with it,” said Parsons.

Up-to-date informa-tion on the festival, market and affiliated contests is available on the Spirit of Sylvan Yuletide Festival Facebook page.

From intricate snippets of cloth and loving patience come large, lovely bed quilts for orphans in Ogooma, Uganda.

Ladies from the Sylvan Lake Alliance Church and others from the Sylvan Lake community gather every Tuesday at the church for a group called Quilters with a Purpose.

In a warm and cordial atmosphere, the women — of every age and skill level — are free to bring along their projects from home, visit and help each other. From old-fashioned hand knot-ting to modern techniques come proj-ects dancing with charm.

At a recent gathering, the quilters hosted Rosemary Akitang, “Mother” to the orphans who have been grateful recipients of the group’s creations since some church members and partners helped build the first orphanage dorm in 2011. The building was originally built to house some 30 orphans.

When Rosemary first approached the various local churches and authori-ties in her war-torn remote village of Ogooma requesting names of the needi-est children, the shortlist contained over 300 names. Currently, with a sec-ond dorm, there are 86 grateful young-sters with a bed and three meals a day — possibly for the first time in their lives. Hence the need for more quilts, which will travel to Ogooma with the volunteer work team in January.

One quilter told Rosemary, “Tell the child who gets my quilt that it is a ‘puzzle quilt.’ There is one duplicate

block for each pattern that they can look for and one that is the reverse of its partner pattern. The reverse one is because I made a mistake and didn’t notice until I had joined it to all the others and didn’t want to pick it all out.”

Much laughter ensued, because

there are always mistakes that need to be picked out and re-sewn. No sense in getting upset. As the saying goes, “To sew is to pick out.”

Question: “When is a seam-stress like a country star?” Answer: “ When she’s pickin’ and

singin’”.Anyone may join the fellow-

ship, and you don’t have to donate your finished article.

Money donations for the orphans can be delivered to the Sylvan Lake Alliance Church during business hours.

Children in Uganda are grateful for the work completed by Sylvan Lake’s Quilters with a Purpose. SUBMITTED

The Sylvan Lake Bears deservedly lifted the Football Alberta Peewee Tier III Provincial Championship trophy after shutting out the Bonnyville Renegades 64-0 in Sylvan Lake on Saturday.

“It’s very exciting,” said head coach Garnet Rambaut. “First win-ning the league championship the weekend before — that was a big accomplishment, because we’ve only won the league championship one other time and that was in 2006. Winning it again this year was excel-lent. We just improved steadily with every game.”

The Bears proved their defensive prowess by shutting out their oppo-nents for the seventh game in a row. That feat was the result of hard work put in both before and during the season, said Rambaut.

“We’re a very good football team — I’ve got very good coaches and we work on the basics during our train-ing camps, and we practice them hard.”

Rambaut said his players are con-ditioned very well. That’s something he feels can make all the difference at this time of year, and with games being played regularly.

“The ground gets harder and it gets to be a real challenge,” he said, lauding his players for their commit-ment throughout the season.

“To play a game where you know you’re going to be hurt takes a lot of courage, and these guys have a lot of courage,” he said. “These are tremen-dous life lessons that they are learn-ing as far as being a member of a team and showing commitment to the team and accepting responsibili-ty for their actions.

“All of those things are life-build-ing skills, and our coaches, managers and trainers have done a very good job of helping these people along.”

Most of the Bears have at least another four years of football ahead of them, he added. He feels their vic-tory this year, however, won’t be for-gotten any time soon.

“These are lifetime experiences for them that they will never forget,” he said.

Bears build on success with win over Renegades

Brandon Tweed and Dylan Keller of the HJ Cody Lakers team up to take down Justin Hodinsky of the Cold Lake Royals during provincial quarter finals at HJ Cody on Saturday. JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN


The energy around the HJ Cody School football field rose as Lakers player Landon Rosene made his team’s first touch down within min-utes of the start of provincial quar-ter finals against the Cold Lake Royals on Saturday. Later, Chase

Elwood scored the team’s final touchdown to secure a score of 22-9 and send the Lakers to semi-finals.

The result is just what the Lakers were looking for, according to head coach Jeremy Braitenback. He praised his players for remaining mentally strong throughout the game.

“It doesn’t matter what the score is, they are supposed to play like the game is on the line — as if it’s the beginning of the game,” he said. “It gets tougher with every step you take, and you’re playing the champions from another league who have defeated somebody else.

“You have to play like every game is going to be your last.”

Braitenback added he feels his players’ strong commitment in practice has benefitted them in games this sea-son.

“We are not the same team we were at the beginning of the year,” he said. “We’re taking them to their maximum potential, and if it’s not good enough to be the best in the province, that’s okay, because it’s pretty darn close right now. Were very proud of everything we’ve done.”

The Lakers will head to Whitecourt for pro-vincial semi-finals on Saturday (Nov. 15).

If you plan to dig, don’t forget to locate and identify underground power lines. Because whatever you’re working on, you should always ask yourself “Where’s the Line?” Learn more at fortisalberta.com or call us at 310-WIRE (9473).

Remembrance - Students of Benalto School paid respect to Canada’s war dead during the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony held Nov. 6. Students recited poetry, sang songs and held a moment of silence at the ceremony, which was also attended by special guests Debby Stevens and Sharon Graham on behalf of the Sylvan Lake Royal Canadian Legion.

Anyone can show bullying actions, victim responses or bystander behav-iours; everyone involved in bullying needs the skills to help them positively build their self-concept, balance their thinking, increase their self-confidence, gain empathy and understanding and learn effective communication skills.

Watch for further articles from Building Bridges, a subcommittee of the Sylvan Lake Family Violence and

Bullying Coalition. Check out our Facebook page under the same name.

Types of bullying that happen at home, school, work and with seniors can include:• Physical - striking another person, damaging or stealing another person’s property.• Verbal - name calling, teasing, threat-ening or humiliating.• Social - excluding others, spreading rumours, humiliation, interference in relationships.• Cyber/electronic - verbal and/or social bullying via internet or phone.

• Sexual - physical or verbal actions relating to one’s sexual being or sexual-ity.

Someone who is being bullied might:

• Be afraid to go to school or work.• Become withdrawn.• Become anxious• Not fully explain any bruises, cuts or scratches.• Appear less confident.• Have lower grades or be less produc-tive at work.• Have mysterious and undiagnosed pains or illness.

Someone who is using bullying actions might:• Talk negatively and derogatorily about some of their peers or co-workers.• Freely use negative labels contemptu-ously in conversation.• Portray themselves as the victim when their behaviour is confronted.• Have low levels of empathy.• Not see the need to apologize for their behaviour.Someone who is a bystander might:• Be afraid of the reaction of the person using bullying actions if they stand up for the victim.

• Try to figure out how to handle the situation without intervention.• Try to remain friendly with the person using bullying actions.• Try to distance themselves from the actions.

This article was submitted as part of a month-long campaign organized by the Sylvan Lake Family Violence and Bullying Coalition and Building Bridges sub-committee to raise awareness of the family violence and bullying that takes place in Sylvan Lake and beyond, and the resources available to help cope with them.

MARKET UPDATE

Sylvan Lake sales in October dropped dramatically from September’s while the number of active listings is also well down, keeping the ratio between supply and demand closer to balance, but still in the buyer’s favour. There appears to be ample supply to satisfy buyer’s needs except maybe in the $350,000 - $400,000 range. In spite of lower oil prices, Alberta still suffers from a worker shortage which will bring migration. Population growth combined with high wages will keep the housing market strong.

Call us for detailed market information for Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, Blackfalds, Lacombe or Ponoka.
