Lighthouse demolished; meeting planned to discuss replacement

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

It took just minutes for Sylvan Lake’s lighthouse 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 structure 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 connect to You Tube and search for Sylvan Lake Lighthouse.)

Demolition of the structure was undertaken as work continues to deepen the marina as part of the site’s redevelopment.

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 representatives have begun planning for the possible construction of a new lighthouse since the demolished structure, over its 25 year history, became a symbol of Sylvan Lake. It’s been photographed, painted and incorporated in logos.

Due to the overwhelming interest in the iconic image, the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake is hosting a public community meeting to gather ideas about erecting 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 discussion.

“When the opportunity arose for Sylvan Lake Rotary to get involved, the membership was very excited to pitch in to recreate a structure that will hopefully pay tribute to the original lighthouse and recreate the symbol that has become synonymous with Sylvan Lake,” said Trevor Sigfusson, chair of the committee.

“We hope to have service groups and citizens of Sylvan Lake get behind this project. We want Sylvan Lake people 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 bandwagon was Rotary president Cynthia Giguere.

Through her business, the Stone House Spa, she’s offering VIP passports. For a $20 donation toward rebuilding of a new lighthouse, the VIP passports provide over $1,500 in spa savings. She may be contacted 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 construction of a new lighthouse so it’s important that local enthusiasm be generated to make this project a reality.”

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.

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 parable 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 audience that at Bible college 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 children, 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 controlling her life, filling her with anger and bitterness. “I had a choice

Teresa Rilling — was I going to forgive 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

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his neo-Conservatives 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 indicates 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 controversy surrounds closure of the Experimental Lake Area program which for 44 years has offered a unique opportunity for leading environmental scientists 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 revelation to us, in a world which is evolving quicker than the speed of light, is Canada’s preparedness for cyber attacks which we’ve been told have already been attempted by people in China and other countries.

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 defended the government’s cybersecurity record, saying it had made “exceptional progress: in the face of emerging technological 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 important avenues necessary for our survival could be attacked electronically, we think the issue is a very high priority.

Some may say it’s up to private 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 various entities responsible for protecting our country’s assets

from cyber attack.

“Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) took over responsibility for protecting government information 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 concerned about sharing information because of the sensitive nature of the information it collects …,” 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 department earned its money on this part of its report. There was a problem and it wasn’t discovered until someone started digging. 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 making a difference. The Auditor General’s report has many other interesting stories.

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 monitoring and analyzing cyber threats to non-government systems 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 federal 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 notification” 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

COLUMN I am so not ready for winter.

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 conditioners are the main way of regulating temperatures. Heaters and ice scrapers were unnecessary.

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 crystals 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, hoping 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 windows. 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

Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

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 couple 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 couple Canadian Studies classes to receive my journalism degree. One of them, a history course, explored different aspects of Canadian identity, including hockey, the railroad, and multiculturalism. Winter, and the notion of the “Great White North”, were also big topics in the class.

Course readings suggested that winter is an important part of Canadian identity 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 doughnut.

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 suggested, it seems I wear winter like a badge of Canadian honour.

We need an emergency critical care facility 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 better 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 residents.

Second of all in response to Lyle Dressler’s comments in regards to urgent care. Sylvan Lake ambulances 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 responsible 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 emergency care facility better yet a hospital.

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

joke.

I have lived here 19 years and never have I once heard anyone complain, I agree with your comment 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 ambulance. It took us almost half hour.

And your unfortunate incident falling off your ladder and rushed to your 15 minute away urgent care and getting in right away. WOW Kudos to you, because under normal 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.

Thank you so much everyone. God Bless Annie Boychuk, Sylvan Lake 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 responsible for building an emergency care facility or hospital. This is a provincial government’s responsibility so reference to town expenditures and the suggestion they should be spending money on a medical facility is incorrect.

Cobb’s renovations approved by council

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

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.

Rilling spoke of hope...

Continued from Page 3 “There is hope behind the bitter chocolate,” she concluded.

Then she thanked Mayor Susan Samson for her “diligent and gracious service to our community.

I’ve watched you embrace this community including difficult issues and admire you for it.”

“We have a responsibility 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 community. 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 community were offered by a variety of people from different walks of life.

They were provided by Dale Plante (mayor, council, reeves, provincial and federal governments), 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 institutions), Lindsay Niemand (health care system and medical professionals), Muriel

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

Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle told the audience it’s important to “take a moment to reflect on all we have to be thankful for. I hope all of you enjoy … family, hope

and health.”

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

A digital presentation, titled God of the City, featuring photos of various community landmarks and events, was played at the beginning of the breakfast.

Sylvan Lake councillors 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 conversion will provide space for offices and personal services suites, retail units and a restaurant with an outdoor patio.

The town’s Municipal Planning Commission had recommended council approve the proposal.

Council’s approval was needed because the project falls within the Waterfront Direct Control District.

Colleen Jensen, speaking 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 downtown area.” They’ve already had interest from businesses, some of them already in town who are looking to move downtown.

She said they plan to

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

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 comment 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”.

The previous policy stated the “The Royal Canadian Mounted Police municipal complement 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 staffing rather than an automatic increase based on a rise in population.

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

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 leisure and protective services, indicated that would require an additional half time position.

Answering a question 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

Thank you to everyone who attended the 4 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.

Children's Church Age 3-5 during 11 am service Nursery provided

Earlier in the year councillors indicated they wanted the municipal enforcement officers included in a policy 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 complement and does not take into consideration the municipal enforcement officers or the enhanced policing when determining policing ratios,” his report stated.

Lebsack added the RCMP would oppose any change in the current policy.

Affordable housing concept received endorsement of councillors

by 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 purchase 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 twostorey buildings. One would be meet requirements for seniors and AISH applicants. The other would be for families that need assistance through affordable housing.

Because they felt their

application needs to stand out above others competing for provincial funding, the society has hired a consultant who’s skilled in putting together proposals and applications. One of the pieces of the proposal is letters of support from adjacent municipalities.

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

He explained the proposal 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 package. It’s not going to the provincial government, I don’t see a problem with this.”

“Can this letter be construed as approval of the project?” asked Councillor Rick Grimson, remembering past issues with affordable housing proposals.

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 building may be the first in the development.

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

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

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

... change in policing complement Continued 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 municipal 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 indicated 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 assistance and enforcement during snow clearing, street sweeping, and development 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 officer, which would increase the service level of the municipal enforcement within the community”.

The report proposed a ratio of one full-time municipal enforcement officer per 3,200 residents. While the per resident number was lower than other communities, 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 management 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 meeting 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.

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, outshooting 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 continued 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 followed 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 mistakes.”

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

Sylvan to host Alberta juvenile curling championships Juvenile Curling Championships, said committee chair Noreen McCallum.

She said the championships 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

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

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

Building on the previous success of hosting the Alberta Scotties in 2009 and the provincial mixed championships in 2010, Sylvan Lake is hosting the Alberta Optimist

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

“We still need a couple of key people for the host committee.” She predicted they’ll probably need about 100 volunteers 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 converted for spectator seating.

“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 number 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 playdowns last year.

Trick-or-Treat! RCMP tips for a safe Halloween

Following are Halloween safety tips provided by the Sylvan Lake RCMP. TRICK-ORTREATERS • Wear makeup instead of a mask. This will allow you to see and be aware of everything going on around you while walking house to house.

• Wear reflective clothing.

• 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 flexible 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 neighbourhoods.

• 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 children 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 consuming 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 leashes and flower pots that can trip the young ones.

• Pets get frightened on Halloween; put them inside to protect them from cars or inadvertently biting a trick-or-treater.

• Battery powered jacko-lantern candles are

preferable to a real flame.

• Place pumpkins and decorations out of reach of children.

• Healthy food alternatives for trick-or-treaters include packages of lowfat crackers with cheese filling, single-serve boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, mini boxes of raisins and single-serve packets of low-fat microwave popcorn.

• Refrain from handing out treats that contain peanuts or peanut butter, as many children are allergic.
