Destroyed

- A house northeast of Sylvan Lake was completely destroyed by fire last Thursday afternoon. Cause of the blaze was not known at press time, according to Fred Millar, Lacombe Regional Fire Service Coordinator. He declined to estimate the value of the loss. The house, built in 1978, was located just inside the south end of Lacombe County on Range Road 28-4 just north of Township Road 39-2. Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County firefighters initially responded to the blaze which was called in after the homeowner returned to find the building filled with smoke. By the time the first trucks arrived flames were shooting high into the air through several windows. Subsequently tankers were called from Red Deer City, Lacombe County, the City of Lacombe, and Blackfalds to ferry water from a hydrant in Sylvan Lake. Firefighters were on the scene from about four hours following the 1:40 alarm. Sylvan Lake firefighters again responded to the same location Saturday night to douse hot spots that had flared up. (A picture of the fire was posted to the News’ Facebook page shortly after it happened. Check it out.)

A series of changes within Red Deer Catholic Schools system has provided a new opportunity for Dorice Swensrude who assumes the role of principal at École Mother Teresa School after just over three years in a similar position at Our Lady of the Rosary School.

“I’m really excited to be at Mother Teresa,” she said Tuesday during her first morning at the school. “I’m looking forward to working with students, parents and the fabulous staff that is here.”

It was with mixed emotions that she accepted the new challenge, Swensrude indicated.

“As I look back on my time at Our Lady of the Rosary School, I realize

how blessed I have been to be part of such a fabulous school community,” she wrote in a letter to parents. “I wish to thank each and every one of you for making such a positive, immeasurable contribution to our school community. I thank you, straight from my heart, for providing me with so many blessings as we worked together and for working with me to achieve what one dreams of in Catholic education, a school with a reputation for excellence in academics and for excellence in faith development.

“It’s difficult to capture in words the beautiful and caring environment that has evolved at Our Lady of the Rosary School. I know it has become what it is because of the love that is shared amongst all of the great

Dorice Swensrude people involved in our school.”

She added that her “fondest and most cherished memories will most definitely be of your children. I will miss the many smiles, hugs, stories and expressions of kindness that have brought countless moments of joy and fulfillment to my professional life.”

About her new position, Swensrude said, “I look forward to continuing to build upon the strong reputation that École Mother Teresa School has in the community of Sylvan Lake. I want to work in a team

with students, parents and staff to continue to improve the school. I look forward to a most enriching and exciting leadership journey.”

Before joining Our Lady of the Rosary, Swensrude had served as vice principal at École Mountview Elementary (4 years) and École Oriole Park Elementary (7 years) schools with Red Deer Public Schools.

During her time at Mountview she also worked at the division office as curriculum specialist for French Immersion.

Prior to work in Red Deer she was the French Immersion team leader at Upper Lacombe Elementary where she taught Grade 3 students.

She also taught Grade 1 and 2 French Immersion

Tuesday morning marked the beginning of another journey in Jodi Smith’s career as an educator.

She assumed principalship of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic

School following the transfer of Dorice Swenrude to principalship of École Mother Teresa Catholic School.

Smith started French Immersion at Mother Teresa as the lead teacher in 2000. She spent ten years at the local school, two of those as vice principal before moving

to École Camille J. Lerouge School in Red Deer where she was vice principal for the past two years.

A Sylvan Lake resident, Smith said she’s “blessed and excited” to be back in Sylvan Lake.

“I’m part of the parish so have a connection with Father Gabriel.”

“I love the Sylvan Lake community, I’m so thankful to be back. It’s nice to be in my home community and not have to drive those roads.”

“As the new principal I’m trying to get as much knowledge as I can,

work with parents, students, teachers, the whole community.”

Smith expected her first day would involve unpacking boxes and meeting students while going room-to-room at the Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 2 school.

Smith’s post secondary education includes a Bachelor of Education, French from Campus Saint-Jean at the University of Alberta, and a Masters in educational leadership from Seattle University.

It’s amazing the difference a week makes in the life of Sylvan Lake.

The sun was shining and we were in pursuit of unique photos of the birds that were stopping on the lake before continuing their journey to southern climes.

The date was Sunday, Nov. 4. The lake was open and the water calm.

Thousands upon thousands of Canada Geese were making their presence known with their constant honking. Then there were white spots within some of the flocks. We spotted several pairs of tundra swans, the most photogenic at Petro Park on Sylvan Lake’s southeast side.

At the same location we found John Umlah and Dave Schirru preparing to set out in their kayaks for a tour of the lake. When we caught up to them again at the pier,

Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

they joked that they might be the last boaters on the lake this season.

That appears to have become a fact. One week later, on Sunday, Nov. 11, the ice has stretched out considerably from shore and it’s questionable whether there’s any open water. It will take someone with better eyes and stronger binoculars that ours to make a certain determination.

Yes, winter is upon us.

While we may get a minor temperature reprieve this week, with the mercury climbing a degree or two above zero for daytime highs, there’s no doubt we’re in for several months of frigid tem-

peratures and the outdoor activities they bring.

Watching town crews clearing snow yesterday morning, we remembered back to a Letter to the Editor which appeared in our paper last December.

Eleven-year-old Nick Hellrud had what we thought was an excellent idea so we raise it here again hoping it attracts attention and action.

“I was hoping you would print my letter asking if when the town clears the snow from the lake skate rink if they would pile it up to make a toboggan hill next to it? I don’t think it would be much trouble and would be a lot of fun!,” he wrote.

We agree. It would be one more reason for youngsters and families to go to the lake for some recreational activity. And while some siblings may want to skate or play shinny, others may be content tobogganing down a hill.

Of course safety precautions would have to be taken and motorized traffic kept away from the bottom of the hill. But this is one idea that

just makes sense.

Another idea that makes sense in our mind is a cleanup of the proliferation of service club and organization signs that dot the posts entering our community.

The town has spent considerable money trying to improve the aesthetics of Sylvan Lake, creating signs to direct people to various facilities, trying to project a consistent image.

We believe it’s time to consider a single large notice board at the entrances to town that could contain all those signs for clubs such as Scouts, Lions, Rotary, Legion, etc.

We’d go further as well.

While it should be a town initiative to get the project off the ground, we think the service clubs would be happy to contribute money to the project since it will benefit them as well as the town.

Perhaps such a sign needs to also contain a town map — particularly since our town is growing and more and more names are being added to the lexicon of our streets instead of the logical

assembly of numbered streets and avenues that were so easy to follow. Adding a map might then require a turnout or rest stop area. This project could balloon to something more extensive. Is that what we want?

There’s currently a town map, but it’s located in the heart of town, beside the tourist information centre.

Does that serve the travelling public looking for a specific location or have we progressed to the point where GPS units are all that’s needed to find the house or business you’re seeking?

No matter the answer, cleaning up the variety of service club signs would be a good first step. Certainly, removing the ones that no longer exist would also be a good idea. We noticed a Kinsmen Club logo on a sign post on the west end of town but there hasn’t been a club in town during the nine years we’ve lived here.

Reflections on a family’s war involvement Sometimes, I spend so much time telling other people’s stories that I forget about those in my own family.

I spoke last week with Stuart Reitsma, a Korean war veteran, and Don Macrae, who lived in Britain as a child during the Second World War. Their stories had almost nothing in common, reflecting different perspectives during wartime, and very different wars. However, both were incredible stories.

Like every other Canadian, I studied the wars when I was in school. I read

about the battles, learned the dates, and watched movies about them. I memorized the words of “In Flanders Fields”.

It was one thing to read about the atrocities of war.

It was another thing completely to speak to a veteran who saw them with his own eyes, or to someone whose childhood included regular air raids.

My maternal grandfather is a veteran. He joined the Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He has a poppy on his license plate. A black-and-white

Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

photo of him in his airman’s uniform hangs in his house, alongside a photo of his marriage to my grandmother, and photos of his grandchildren’s graduations.

I’ve never asked him about his experience, and now I wonder why. I only know he was 17 when he joined the air force, and that

he changed his birth certificate so he could join.

My paternal grandfather lived in Nazioccupied Holland. In 1944, a large part of the country, including where he lived, was hit with a famine. The Germans had cut off all food shipments to the area to punish the Dutch for not helping them with their war effort. My grandfather nearly starved to death.

In his own words, he could “play piano on my ribs”.

He immigrated to Canada after the war. Stacks of canned food fill his kitchen

cupboards, and he grows many fruits and vegetables in his backyard. He wastes no food, not even animal bones, which he boils to make soup stock.

I have never asked him about this period in his life.

My knowledge of it comes from my father, who has a strong interest in our family history. Still, most of his interest involves generations that go further back than his own father.

Sometimes, the most obvious stories are the hardest ones to see.

Money planned for tourism promotion, beach sand, float

by Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake councillors earmarked over $80,000 towards tourism strategies or tourismrelated facilities during 2013 budget discussions, spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.

A tourism strategy and advertising campaign for Centennial Park and the Lakeshore area, at a combined cost of $27,500, initially received mixed reactions.

Councillor Dale Plante was enthusiastic, citing promotion of the town’s new parks as an area of importance. “If there’s ever a time we should support tourism in Sylvan it’s now,â€? said Plante. “We’re looking at a tourism strategy to draw people to stay here for a week ‌ We’ve been naive to think that people are going to come here just because we have a lake.â€?

Mayor Susan Samson agreed with Plante, citing the struggling downtown business area. “I just don’t see tourism as being a big economic strategy ‌ People

are going to come here whether we spend that money or not,� said Councillor Laverne Asselstine.

Another area of contention was the Beach Ambassador program.

The town hired three summer students as Beach Ambassadors this summer, at a cost of $40,000.

They provided visitors with information about town events and businesses, and were intended to spend most of their time patrolling the beach on foot. “I think $40,000 is very high for what we’re getting,� said Plante, adding that the ambassadors spent most of the time in their hut instead of patrolling the beach. “I don’t think it served its purpose at all.�

Plante suggested hiring a mix of students and older workers to supervise the students to ensure the job was properly done.

Other councillors, including Rick Grimson, were supportive of the ambassadors. Councillors decided to continue the program in 2013, with Samson requesting a review of their work at

In recognition of the town’s centennial year, councillors set aside $30,000 towards a new town parade float. The current float is in disrepair, but some councillors were hesitant about the

Budget 2013 the end of the year.

Councillors budgeted $25,000 towards adding sand to the beach corner at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and 49th Street, despite some worries. “I’m just really concerned that we might get mocked for building a sand box,� said Samson.

Asselstine noted how many people with children gravitate towards that beach corner, because it is the only section that slopes gradually into the water. “Let’s make the area look good ‌ I just think it’s a total go,â€? said Plante.

Other councillors were supportive, but more cautious. Some worried about the sand getting washed away during a rainy summer. “I don’t have a problem with it. I don’t think it should be an ongoing expense, just try it once,� said Grimson.

Tax rate to increase 2.4 per cent; utility fees going up

by Aleisha Bosch

Budget 2013

Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake councillors proposed a 2.4 per cent property tax rate increase for the 2013 budget, following more than 12 hours of discussion spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.

Many owners will see a 1.3 per cent increase in their taxes because property values have declined since 2012, said Darren Moore, Sylvan Lake’s director of finance.

The increase translates to around $21.50 extra taxes for average property owners in 2013. There will also be a $72 water and sewer rate increase, and a $2.40 cardboard recycling green box fee increase.

The property tax increases will bring the

town an additional $381,000 in revenue.

There will be no change to the recreation levy, which will continue to add $400,000 annually to the town’s funds.

Most recreational facilities will have no increase to user fees, as detailed in a presentation

by Ron Lebsack, director of recreation, parks and culture. He proposed increasing swim lesson costs and program fees at the aquatic centre, but suggested no change to drop-in admission rates.

New fire hall, lagoon upgrades key projects for 2013

by Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake councillors have set aside more than $11 million for capital projects next year, following budget discussions spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.

Most prominent among them is the construction of a new fire hall, at a cost of $3.8 million.

Another major project involves a section of

47A Avenue that will be resurfaced, and new curb, gutter, and sidewalk built, at a cost of $1 million.

A number of projects are planned to improve utility services.

For $2.2 million, the capacity of the main trunk line for the waste water lagoon will be increased, which receives waste from part of the town.

Other utility capital projects include relocation of the RV septic

dump station at a cost of $300,000, with two main options proposed.

The first, along Jarvis Bay Drive just north of Lakeshore Drive and 33rd Street, offers adequate stacking room, easy access, and nearby water and sewer facilities, but no street lighting.

“Is that really what we want to do, have light industrial up against residential?

We’ll get it in the ear for that,” said Mayor Susan

Budget 2013 Samson.

Councillor Sean McIntyre suggested planting trees in the area to shield residents from the new development.

The second location, near the waste water lagoon off Sylvaire

Close, offers easy access, nearby water and sewer facilities, and adequate lighting, but limited stacking room.

Both locations have a proposed fee for use.

No decision has yet been made about the relocation, as the project will be funded from reserves.

The waste water lagoon has excessive ammonia levels, so $530,000 has been earmarked to upgrade its ammonia treatment

Improvements to parking, street signs included in budget

by Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake councillors heard a number of propositions for transportation service improvements during 2013 budget discussions, spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.

Transportation services account for 55 per cent of public works depart-

ment expenses.

Sylvan Lake Family and Community Centre parking lot will receive improvements in 2013, with the second part of a tri-phase reconstruction plan. The first stage was completed in 2012.

Next year a section of the parking lot will be rebuilt and repaved, and the sidewalk at the entrance will be replaced at an estimated cost of

Budget 2013 $420,000.

The third phase of the project is planned for 2014, with the addition of a new storm system, concrete medians, greenery, and repainted

Parks to receive new staff, upgrades

by Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake councillors included new parks staff and park improvements in the 2013 budget, following discussions spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.

Ron Lebsack, director of leisure and protective services, proposed increasing staff to maintain service levels. The new positions will include one fulltime parks operator, a part-time landscape gardener, and two seasonal parks operators.

The additions will cost a combined total of $103,300.

“I think they’re being frugal in what they’re asking for in terms of number of staff,” said Mayor Susan Samson.

Councillor Graham Parsons also supported the staff additions.

“I just know that the recreation department and what they have to look after this coming year is significant,” said Parsons.

Budget 2013 Councillor Laverne Asselstine did not agree with the additions, citing the slower economy as a reason to hold back from hiring new workers.

“Our projection for the next year or even two years is that we’re going to continue to grow … It’s naive to think that we can manage on the same number of staff,” said Councillor Dale Plante.

Councillor Rick Grimson agreed with Plante, and said the new additions were a necessary expense.

“The staff in any business, they’re the most valuable asset we have … You start chinzing on staff, you might as well save money some place else,” said Grimson.

Improvements to three parks were included in the budget.

The bathroom in Lion’s

Park will be relocated, and the gazebo remodelled to match the new town hall. Four Seasons Park will receive upgrades to their storm drainage system, signs, and chain link fencing.

Railway Park’s mulch will be replaced with grass to reduce maintenance work.

street lights. A section of the parking lot will also be designated for RVs, and a new trail will connect 43rd Street to Four Seasons Park.

Councillors also added $250,000 to the budget for increasing downtown parking, with 40 new stalls to the side of 49th Street.

“It’s been said that we would address a parking problem, but we don’t have a ready solution,” said Mayor Susan Samson.

Councillor Ken MacVicar questioned whether increased parking would benefit the area outside the summer tourist season.

“We’ve got to find something to offset what we did at the marina,” said Councillor Dale Plante, citing the loss of public parking in the area.

Councillors budget-

ed $15,000 for seven new signs at the 60th Street entrance, 60th Street and 48th Avenue, and Memorial Trail. The signs will direct visitors to town services.

Following a presentation by John Watson, public works manager, a combined total of $700,000 was included as a capital project for a new garbage collection vehicle and specialized garbage bins. The new vehicle would be fully automated, and would lift and dump the garbage without workers having to do the work themselves. The new vehicle would improve efficiency, with up to 160 collections per hour, and reduce staff injuries.

“I really feel it’s the way of the future,” said Watson.

facilities.

A new one-ton garbage truck will be purchased for the town’s parks, to increase garbage collection service to three times a day along Lakeshore Drive and Centennial Park.

The truck will cost $45,000. Ron Lebsack, director of leisure and protective services, said park workers have found lots of foodrelated garbage on the beach during the day.

“I think that’s just the nature of a tourist town,” said Samson.

Councillors rem-

oved a proposal to install traffic lights at the corner of 47th Avenue and Herder Drive from next year’s capital projects, amid concerns that the new lights would slow traffic flow along 47th Avenue, a much-used route.

“Let’s trash it,” said Councillor Rick Grimson.

Councillor Dale Plante suggested deferring the project for a year, and looking at how the opening of Memorial Trail affects traffic patterns.

SERVING SYLVAN LAKE & AREA SINCE 1923

Dear Editor, I have often written to you about a complain.

This time it is for a thank you to the town hall employees.

With 1913-2013 days coming, I, as a member of the Sylvan Lake Seniors, wondered what we could do to make Sylvan Lake a better place.

I wondered if we had a bicycle lock-up near the centre on 50th, that some seniors could bike to the centre, have a coffee or soup or play cards or Wi or scrabble and be secure in their minds that their bikes are safely locked.

Upon looking at our centre, being as it is so close to the sidewalk, there was not much room to place a bike rack.

I went to see town hall about rules and regulations and requirements as I didn’t want to plan against town bylaws, etc. I

was referred to Mary. She told me that they were having a meeting the next day and she would try to get my questions answered. When I didn’t hear from her, I phoned again and she said that Rick was working on it.

Then a week later,

Mary phoned and said that the town has found a bike rack that has yet to be placed and will place it in the parking lot by the mermaid. Three weeks later, there it was!

It is not bike season but I know once the weather changes, the bike

rack will be used, not only by the seniors but by citizens going to town hall, or to Community Partners, Art Gallery and the church on the corner.

Thank you for the quick results.

Vernie Munroe, Sylvan Lake

Tear down the wall Dear Editor, After following Sylvan Lake’s elected legislatures now for several years deal with the main streets, major intersection and finally the total blockage to through traffic. And see this done against the continuous protests of Sylvan Lake residents.

This all leading many otherwise law abiding people into illegal U turns. Can you imagine the B train driver for whatever reason is driv-

ing south faces the blockade at Highway 11.

Turning west he faces the choice of going back through Sylvan traffic or going many miles out of his way on secondary roads. The illegal U turn appears to be his best option if he thinks he can do it.

I will not go into the devastation here of down town this intersection may be causing.

The Sylvan Lake elected officials may have the

“Our passion is His presence, Our commitment is His will, Our pursuit is His way.”

legacy of making some good changes to Sylvan Lake but the facts are their “totally stupid intersection” decision on their watch will be their final legacy. Absolutely nothing else will be remembered. But there is time yet to change.

In the words of Ronald Regan to Mikhail Gorbachev “tear down this wall”.

The Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph was carried out this year under ideal weather conditions.

There was a good turn out, Veterans from Red Deer joining their Sylvan Lake comrades in the parade, which included the Air Cadets, I.O.D.E., and

Girl Guides.

Service at the Cenotaph was conducted by Rev. Ian MacSween.

Trumpeter C. S. Palmer sounded Last Post and Reveille. Major R. C. Lister, M.C., gave a talk on Remembrance Day observance. After the service Major Lister took the salute as the parade left the Cenotaph. Mayor Duffield thanked the organizations which participated in the parade for the smart turn out.

The Vets enjoyed dinner at Sylvan Lake hotel after the service. ♦ ♦ ♦ Entertaining their ladies at a banquet Tuesday evening in Sylvan Lake hotel, members of the Chamber of Commerce stated a very enjoyable affair, about 60 guests being present.

The slate of officers for the ensuing

year was presented to the meeting by J. A. Untinen, chairman of the nominating committee, and the following were duly elected: F. J. Bloom, president; W. C. Keith, vice-president, J. Innes, secretary, J. May, treasurer.

Rev. G. E. Dobie of Knox Church, Red Deer, Moderator of the Presbytery of Red Deer, conducted the service of dedication. Mr. Bernard Sjare, chairman of the Board of Managers, gave prayer of thanks and welcome. Mr. Clifford Duffield, chairman of the building committee, narrated the steps

leading to the building of the new hall.

The contractor of the building, Mr. D. J. MacKay, presented the keys to the building. ♦ ♦ ♦ At the November 12 meeting of Sylvan Lake Town Council Bylaw 434 was given three readings to cover the fire equipment and out-of-town and standby rates when burning grass were set as follows: $1.25 per man per hour on stand-by for burning grass; no charge for the equipment. This applies within the town limits only.

Rates for out-of-town fire calls are: minimum charge of $25.00, $5 per hour for fire engine, 50 cents per mile both ways for travelling, and $1.00 per hour per man. ♦ ♦ ♦

A challenge to find good things to say about council’s policies, programs Dear Editor, Mayor Samson should go lightly on comments about Sylvan Lake’s glass “definitely being half full”. (Mayor encourages crowd to embrace change; SLN, Nov 1).

If the mayor says the glass is half full she also declares it half empty. There’s not much to brag about in being in the middle of a continuum. If Sylvan Lake is neither a generally wonderful nor generally deplorable place then words like ‘tepid’ and ‘blah’ capture its spirit. To think the mayor delivered a motivational speech extolling ‘blah!’

As for glasses half full, the mayor has presided over the town’s descent from being a once vibrant, attractive, glass-mostly-full place to live and play, to the current

dispirited town confused about its current identity and direction.

The implied flip side of the mayor’s glass-half-full analogy is that people who disagree with her and council’s ideas are members of the glass-half-empty crowd; ornery, sour sorts who see only negatives in life. That may be the mayor’s distorted thinking but it’s not reality. Safe to say most residents of Sylvan Lake are desperate to find good things to say about many of council’s policies and programs. It’s a challenge.

In fairness public angst spills beyond town limits to areas of provincial jurisdiction that nevertheless impact the citizens of Sylvan Lake; things relevant to the discussion because of council’s complicity in provincial decisions.

The Hwy. 11-781 and Memorial Trail fiascos are cases in point.

Determining who is most accountable for the hare-brained decision to implement right in right out design at the Hwy. 11-781 intersection is maddening. Two things are clear however: Alberta Transportation authorized and constructed it, and town council either actively requested the design, or tacitly accepted it. The multi-million dollar Memorial Trail and associated intersections are costly new infrastructure requirements flowing from the intersection ‘solution’. Public anger at both Alberta Transportation and town council is understandable and justified, and much, much too polite!

Back within town limits, suc-

cessive councils sacrificed having a dynamic town business core for the seductive lure of inviting box stores and their bulging tax revenues. As a result the downtown business core is nearly dead with little immediate relief in sight. The soulless box stores sit either in soulless isolation or soulless clusters on the east side of town, siphoning local money into national and multinational company coffers.

Beach access from 34 St. to 44 St. along Lakeshore Drive — about half of the total — has been all but eliminated due to removal of parking and installation of retaining walls. Bad enough that council installed grotesquely inappropriate speed bumps on Lakeshore Drive; it now fails to make the

road contractor correct excessive slopes on some bumps. What a negative message irregular road construction must make on visitors ‘ambushed’ by unexpected variations.

Citizens read of building and development regulations tortuously bent to either accommodate or thwart one developer or another. The current condominium and marina project seems to be an example, among others, of heroic accommodation.

Mayor Samson may be satisfied with a cup-half-full but citizens are left wanting.

Mother Teresa principal to work at Red Deer school

by Aleisha Bosch Sylvan Lake News

When École Mother Teresa Catholic School Principal Rob Maloughney’s last day was announced last Thursday following the school’s Remembrance Day assembly, a chorus of no’s filled the gymnasium. “I will truly miss

coming to Mother Teresa, although I don’t think I’ll miss the drive,� said Maloughney, who lives in Red Deer.

A student from each class came forward and presented him with a gift. Some students hugged him.

Maloughney had been at the school for four full years, and was partly through his fifth when he accepted a

The offer resulted from the resignation of a superintendent from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools. “As they fill the position it’s the domino e f fe c t ,� s ai d Maloughney, who has known about the change for three weeks.

and yet they’ve never complained,� said Maloughney, adding that less busy staff often help their overburdened co-workers. “I’ve never seen a staff that has been so willing to step in and support their staff mates.�

Teacher Lisa Alford has known Maloughney since he started at Mother Teresa. “It’s been a blessing to have him here,� said Alford, citing his care for staff, passion for education, and the value he places on each student.

Alford also said Maloughney takes time to talk and high five students in the hall, and shows faith in the staff by allowing them to create their own curriculum. “He’s had a tremendous influence on the school in terms of parent contact,� said Alford, adding that Maloughney makes the parents a part of their child’s education.

Grade 6 students Keara Keaton and Lauren Nielson said they are sad to see Maloughney leaving, and mentioned his jokes and sense of humour. “We’ll miss him,� said Nielson.

Dancers fundraising for trip to Magic Kingdom Submitted Special to Sylvan Lake News

Supporting

- Stopping to donate and pick up poppies were Andrew Snow and Tyler Riley while Legion member Cliff Halvorson was at a table in Walmart Saturday afternoon.

STEVE DILLS

Dancers from Sylvan Studio have started fundraising so that approximately 50 of them can learn and dance at Disney World.

The age range of the dancers is from age seven to 17. They are all very dedicated and passionate about their chosen sport. They are all a team and help each other to learn and to grow as dancers. All of these dancers are so excited at the new opportunity that is being presented to them.

They are going to dance in Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park to “Dancing in The Street” alongside many other dancers from other parts of Canada, Mexico and the United States. These dancers will also be given classes at Disney Dance School and receive instruction and learning time with some of the amazing chorographers and dancers within the Disney cast.

The dancers will be treated as Disney cast members for the time they are at Disney World. It is such an amazing

experience for these children. Who knows, some day when you travel to Disney World Florida you might even see a local Sylvan Laker within the dancing cast, doing what they love.

We are looking for support in several aspects of this Disney World - Dance The World tour. We are hosting a Christmas Bazaar & Craft Show with a silent auction on Nov. 17 at Sylvan Studio (31 Cuendet Industrial Way). The dancers, and their families, are helping with the set up and cleaning. Local businesses interested in setting up a table to sell their wares may contact Tami Lindstrand at 403-887-6621 for more information.

The dancers are also currently selling poinsettias for Christmas. They are to be delivered the beginning of December to Sylvan Studio. Please consider buying your Christmas poinsettias from some of our dancers this season.

We are hoping many local businesses would consider helping provide us with a silent auction item to help the dancers achieve their goal of dancing on the streets of Disney.

Salive presented with life membership in Legion

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

A life membership in the Royal Canadian Legion was presented to Comrade Norman J. Salive during a Veterans’ luncheon and honours and awards ceremony at the Sylvan Lake branch, last Thursday which was attended by about 45 people.

Salive enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces in 1942 at the age of 17 years and served in England and France. He was wounded in France and subsequently discharged in 1946 as a consequence of his injury.

He joined the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League (B.E.S.L.), the forerunner to the Royal Canadian Legion, in 1957 as a member of

Tilbury, Ontario Branch No. 206 and has maintained his membership in the Legion through the succeeding 55 years.

In 1997 Salive transferred his membership to Sylvan Lake Branch No. 212. Here he served as a member of the executive committee, the colour party, volunteered extensively at branch functions, in branch operations, Legion sports and all aspects of the Poppy campaign. He was twice presented with Letters of Commendation for his branch involvement.

In 2011 the branch presented Salive with a Certificate of Merit and the Branch Service Medal in recognition of his contributions.

Salive participated in the 50th and 65th

Legion participation to activities such as school visitations during the Remembrance Period, participating in Remembrance Day services, attending military anniversaries, general meetings and branch social functions,” said President Steve Dills, while making the presentation.

During the event a number of other volunteers were recognized with honours.

Admirals hit win column with sloppy win over Eagles

by Ted Stephens Special to Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake Admirals travelled to the Stony Plain Eagles barn to determine 4th place in the Chinook Hockey League, Saturday.

Both teams have struggled with the loss of key players this season and both teams were winless in their first four games.

The Admirals have been improving each game, as new players are added to the lineup, filling in the missing pieces to the puzzle.

Just as the Admirals thought they had the right ingredients to mount a 60 minute effort, the Remembrance Day long weekend saw five players scratched from the lineup with work commitments, two suspeneded and two more deciding to hang up their skates from AAA hockey.

Senior hockey can be fickle at times as you are at the mercy of jobs and commitments far beyond the dressing room. Be that as it may, games need to be played, teams need to be iced and this game was no exception. Put together the best you have and play the game with heart.

There was nothing smooth about the game from the drop of the puck. Normal crisp passes were off the mark, either too far behind or too far ahead. Neither the Admirals nor Stony Plain Eagles seemed to be able to find the right gear and the Eagles scored first at the 10:15 mark, having outshot the

Admirals 9-4 to that point.

The Admirals were not really being outplayed but were giving up the puck on errant passes and losing any chances of keeping the pressure on. To complicate things even more, a head check to defenseman Barrett Brook took him out of the game at 8:87 and the ensuing heated scrum left Cody Esposito with a minor and a 10 minute misconduct.

The already short bench of 15 got real short as only three defensemen were left on the bench.

Even short, the Admirals began to find a bit of a groove and the speed of Jeff Young, along with the aggressive checking of Brendan Baumgartner, had the Eagles flustered. That combination soon had control of the puck and Jeff Young made no mistake burying a crisp pass from Brendan Baumgartner and Kurtis Ross at 4:47.

The period ended tied 1-1 and the Admirals outshooting the Eagles 15-14.

The second period seemed to begin as a repeat of the first and the Admirals were flat footed and sloppy. More turnovers and poor decisions had the Eagles in control and they took full advantage, taking a 2-1 lead at the 18:37 mark.

Once again the Admirals were outshot 6-1 in the early going of the second before finding wind in their sails and turning it around.

The Eagles didn’t help their cause when they got caught with too many men, giving

the Admirals their second power play opportunity of the game. This time the Admirals were patient and moved the puck with authority, looking for the opening. D man Curt Leinweiber found the mark at 12:42 from Turner Lachance and Kurtis Ross, tying the game.

The Eagles got in penalty trouble again at 11:20 and the Admirals quickly capitalized at 10:53 when Paul Maily banged it home from Brendan Baumgartner. Admirals were now skating hard and although the game was sloppy for both teams, the Admirals held the edge with their speed and aggressive forechecking.

Dividends quickly came their way as Brandon Knelsen drilled one between the pipes at 9:36 with assists going to Travis McMillan and Paul Mailey. The Eagles narrowly escaped another Admirals’ power play at 8:13 before once again putting themselves in the hole with a tripping call at 4:52. This time there was no escape as the Admirals power play was clicking and Cody Esposito, from the point, rifled home a laser, top corner, just inside the post, on a pass from Turner Lachance at 4:14.

The period ended with the Admirals leading 5-2 and shots in their favour 18-14.

At the start of the third is was apparent the Eagles hadn’t given up just yet and they turned up the heat.

The Admirals were tiring and simple mistakes were being made. They managed to

Eleven club records broken, six of nine Nauticals made finals

by Kim Matthews and Pam Moore Special to Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake Nauticals enjoyed another stellar weekend of competition with nine swimmers accompanied by coaches Trevor and Sharon Burns at the 24th Silver Tide Poppy Meet.

The weekend started with the singing of O Canada followed by a minute of silence in respect of Remembrance Day. From Coach Sharon’s group, Stephanie Vetter (10) and Blake Carson (8) attended and had an amazing weekend.

In the 8 and under category Blake took a combined total of 15.19 seconds off during his races. He placed fifth in 25m freestyle and third in 25m butterfly.

Stephanie achieved her first B time in 100m freestyle and made it into finals where she placed eighth. In the seven races she swam she took a total of 1:00.83 seconds off and earned herself six best times.

Coach Trevor took seven of his senior swimmers — Emily Girard (9), Zoe DeJonge (9), Elizabeth Moore (11),

Erin Matthews (13), Ann Duffy (13), Amber Carson (14) and Annika Vetter (14). Coaches Trevor and Sharon were totally impressed with their swimmer’s results and proud of them as they all had an excellent weekend.

Emily achieved her first B time in 50m freestyle making finals and placing seventh over all for her age group. She achieved six best times out of seven swims taking a combined total of 45.91 seconds off.

Zoe achieved seven out of seven best times taking a combined total of 1:13.63 seconds off during her races and placed sixth in the 200m freestyle.

Elizabeth once again had an incredible weekend getting personal best times in all of her swims.

She took a combined total of 24.87 seconds off her swim times. She broke club records in the 50m backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly and the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley, placing first in three of her races and second in the rest.

Elizabeth swam her way to within 0.73 seconds of a National time in her

100m breast stroke, but did get her senior (17+) provincial A time.

Erin got seven out of seven best times and took a combined total of 26.46 seconds off in her swims.

She made finals in her 50m freestyle placing seventh and was the first alternate in the 100m breaststroke.

Ann achieved five out of seven best times and took a combined total of 4.76 seconds off her races. During her 50m freestyle race she took and amazing 2.06 seconds off a very quick swim and was the first alternate in the 100m backstroke.

Annika achieved three best times and took a combined total of 7.35 seconds off her swims.

She had an incredible 50m butterfly taking 3.46

KIM MATTHEWS

seconds off and 3.7 seconds off in her 50m backstroke. The shorter the race the harder it is to take large amounts of time off.

Amber was another one who broke many club records. They were: 100m freestyle and butterfly, the 200m freestyle and individual medley, 400m freestyle and the 50m butterfly. In 100m

butterfly she also achieved a 15-16 year old provincial ‘A’ time. She placed second in the 100m butterfly, fourth in the 50m butterfly and sixth in the 400m freestyle.

To sum it up the Nauticals had six out of nine kids make finals and two swimmers getting ‘B’ times, two getting ‘A’ times and one SO close to a national time as well as a total of 11 new club records. As a group they achieved 86 per cent average for getting personal best times. That is an extraordinary number for the club and they should all be very proud of their performances.

Good luck to all swimmers who will be attending the Calgary Winter Cup at the Winter Club in Calgary November 24 and 25th.

Beau’s Mission for Vision would like to send out a big

hold their own through the first ten minutes, which included fending off a determined power play effort by the Eagles but another penalty at 10:03 wasn’t as successful and the Eagles scored at 9:39.

Play seemed to settle down and appeared to be equal in either end until Ernie Stewart found a burst of speed at the 7:46 mark. Taking a pass on the fly from Branden Gay and Cody Esposito, he blew past the surprised Eagles defense and backhanded a quick shot into the mesh, 6-3 Admirals.

It should have been over and it looked like it was all done with the Admirals battling off another penalty at the 5:55 mark but a determined Eagles bench saw it differently.

Taking advantage of the mental lapses and tired legs of the Admirals, who were down to 13 skaters since the 5:55 mark, the Eagles poured on their best effort of the game. Shots were flying from everywhere and the Admirals failed to clear the puck.

With 1:39 to go the Eagles struck to make it 6-4 and 43 seconds later, the Admirals defense got caught flat footed, giving up goal five to the Eagles.

The Admirals jolted back to reality and closed the game without further scoring.

Final score 6-5 Admirals and shots recorded 42-41 Admirals after having been outshot 14-8 by the Eagles in the third.

“Not a pretty win,” said Coach Jason Stephens. “It was ugly and rough, to say the least, but sometimes a win is a win and that’s all you can say for it, however it is definitely nice to get on the board and moving forward.

“Neither team played particularly well tonight and it was up for grabs as to who was going to take control.

Fortunately our power play was clicking and our penalty kill was decent. Those two things alone made a big difference on the score sheet.

“We showed flashes of what we’re capable of doing and I hope that carries forward into the next game. We play Stony again at our barn and you can be assured they don’t want to go 0-6, so we’ll have our hands full.

I think after this win our room will have a lot more motivation and we’ll have a full line up, so I’m confident that if the boys play like they’re capable, we’ll be in good shape.”

Next home game is tomorrow (Friday) at the Sylvan Lake multiplex. Game time 8:30 p.m. against Stony Plain Eagles.

Concert with Gary Fjellgaard plus Saskia & Darrel at the Rimbey Community Centre.

Thursday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 pm Advance Tickets $20 pp Available at: Stationery, Stories & Sounds, T&S Farm & Feeds and Ag. members.
