National jamboree was exciting for Sylvan Scouts by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

appearance of Camp Woods, which, until the jamboree, had not held an event of that size before. “Most of the (local) people that came up to me said that the whole camp had changed from last time they came out,” she said. “There’s a lot of trees, still, but it’s kind of spaced out.” Additional space was needed to fit the thousands of tents that were set up throughout the camp site. Some patrols camped in wooded areas, while others found themselves in more open spaces. With thousands of Scouts from different time zones gathered in one place, rest was not always easy, according to Mosset, who claimed she’s still catching up on sleep lost during the jamboree. Restless Scouts chatting among one another late at night didn’t help matters, she added. “We would just yell at them every night. One night we actually went over there and banged on their tent for them to shut up.” Initially, 5,000 were expected to attend the jamboree. That number quickly rose to more than 6,500, meaning camping space was limited for some Scouts. Yet, despite experiencing some of the hiccups that arise with having 6,500 people living in a considerably small area for a week, the jamboree was unforgettable for plenty of good reasons, assured the Sylvan Lake Scouts. For all three of them, it was their first Scouting jamboree. Future similar events being held in Newfoundland and Japan over the next few years now give them something to look forward to, and are just some of the adventurous experiences for which Scouting is famous. “(As a Scout) you get to go and do a bunch of different things,” said Bylsma. “You’re not just doing one thing.”

A month after thousands of Scouts from across Canada and the world converged on Camp Woods, memories of Canadian Scout Jamboree 2013 are still fresh in the minds of those who attended. Among them are three Sylvan Lake residents, who, unlike some that attended, did not have to travel very far for the one-week event that - Firefighters and personnel from Associated Ambulance attended to a young wrapped up July 13.

Be like water, my friend — and think about water, too Reprinted from Athabasca Advocate Water: it’s what we should strive to be like, according to famed martial artist Bruce Lee. Lee was a big fan of water’s ability to adapt to any form, as well as its seemingly contradictory qualities: it “can flow or it can crash” according to the late actor. That destructive, crashing quality isn’t exclusive to ocean waves. We saw proof of how unforgiving even lake water can be last week after three men were pulled out of Calling Lake, their boat capsized and their strength nearly spent. The sobering thought of four people killed in the southern Alberta floods earlier this summer is still fresh in our minds, to say nothing of well-publicized drowning deaths throughout the province in recent weeks — a three-year-old in Mink Lake, a 26-year-old in Sylvan Lake and an 11-year-old in Mahogany Lake. But last week, we also saw proof of how paradoxically fragile water can be. Bluegreen algae advisories have been issued for three local lakes — Baptiste, Cross, and Calling Lakes — and although it’s a sight to which many of us have grown accustomed, there’s little that’s natural about it. Yes, Alberta soil is naturally high in phosphorous (a key ingredient for bluegreen algae blooms). And yes, blue-green algae predate the human activity that’s credited with worsening the blooms. The algae (actually, cyanobac-

son humans and wildlife and suffocate fish. Lakes, whatever we imagine they conceal in their depths, have no arsenal to deal with something as seemingly benign as a fertilized lawn that runs right down to the water. Those who live near affected lakes and scientists who have studied the water agree that the algae blooms seem to

be getting worse. Yet representatives from Alberta Health Services and Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources, when asked, said neither body has tracked trends in the frequency and severity of blooms across the province or region by region. Perhaps it is time to consider a provincial lake management strategy — some-

thing the provincial government says it is willing to look at. At the very least, we need better enforcement of bylaws pertaining to activities near or on lakes. Because it is not enough to be like water in an esoteric sense: we need to think about water in the real world and respect both its power and fragility.

teria if you want to get technical) even predate humans themselves. Still, there’s no doubt that human actions, from the fertilizers we use on our prized petunias to the dog feces we neglect to scoop from the beach, have increased phosphorous levels in lakes. This makes lakes more hospitable for the toxin-excreting blue-green algae that can poi-

I open the holiday trailer door and am instantly greeted by beauty. Shards of soft golden sun pierce the green of morning and on a makeshift stove, coffee is perking. I pause a moment to remember the last time I saw or heard coffee perking, but I can’t. It doesn’t matter. I smell the freshly perked coffee and squint my eyes against the gentle shards of sunlight and it’s enough. I’m happy! I love camping and the trees, the sun and the smell of freshly perked coffee. And I love all of my grandchildren, even though

they eyed me with suspicion when later that morning I suggested we play scrub. The suspicion was fueled by a generation gap wider than the Grand Canyon and kept alive by a new language spoken by these mysterious devices the kids carry with them always. I’m convinced they carry those things so they don’t have to carry on real, live conversations with people like grandmas. I knew all that, but I also knew I had a mini baseball team within my grasp. “Scrub? Grandma, do you even know what you are talking about?” I ignored them. “Let’s go,” I said in my grandma knows best voice. They reluctantly followed me out to a clearing that I

saw at once had potential as a ball diamond. I grabbed the Frisbee. “This,” I said sternly, is no longer a Frisbee. This is home plate. And that tree over there. That is first base.” I tried to explain how the game worked. “Everyone runs up and touches home plate and you yell out what position you are,” I said. “Batter, pitcher … whatever!” They looked at me, baffled and I think, a little afraid. What was their crazy grandma up to now? And that tree … definite-

ly that tree did not look like a first base! Finally, I grabbed the yellow plastic bat and stood by the Frisbee and said “really guys, it doesn’t matter. Just hit the ball. We’ll figure it out as we go along.” As the sun illuminated the forest behind us with this kind of golden halo and their mom washed dishes on the picnic table in the distance, I was happy because I heard what I wanted to hear. It was the point of the whole game, really. I heard them laugh. Excited, childish laughter. Gleeful laughter. And I heard them yell! “You are out. I got you. Run, Jackson run!” Okay, actually that was me!

The game is over now and I am back at work, the kids are back with their parents and, no doubt, talking a lot of that social media type language that I don’t really get. Oh well. For a brief moment in time, I got to go back to a time when a tree became first base, and a Frisbee or a board or a scrap of cardboard was home plate. I hope when they become adults and it seems necessary for seriousness to take precedence over laughter, they will remember a day when the sun slanted through the trees just so and their grandma reminded them that imagination is the best gift ever, followed, of course, by laughter. And I hope they smile! Maybe even chuckle!

69 years ago ... From the issue of August 9, 1944

The 1944 Alberta election is over. The Social Credit government has been returned with an increased majority in the legislature, and the bid for office made by the C.C.F. was very definitely rejected. In the Rocky Mountain House con-

stituency Hon. A. J. Hooke, provincial secretary, (S.C.) was returned to office, nearly doubling the vote cast for his two opponents George Morrison, C.C.F., and Victor Johanson, FarmerLabour. Sylvan Lake poll went:— A. J. Hooke 251; George Morrison 61; Victor Johanson 41. ♦ ♦ ♦ On July 23, 1944, the First Canadian Army became operations in France. This is the first time in history that Canada has had a full-fledged army in operation in the field, with an allCanadian headquarters. ♦ ♦ ♦ A swimming gala, sponsored by Sylvan Lake Service Club, August 16 will take place inside the breakwater and a well varied program provides

events for all. There are races for boys and girls, men and women, diving, canoe tilting, greasy pole, diving for golf balls and a featured half-mile open race for men and women for the Sylvan Lake Hotel Cup and the H. N. Fisher Cup.

50 years ago ...

From the issue of August 15, 1963

A full agenda faced the town council at the regular meeting Monday evening and the delegations left little time for new business. As a result the meeting adjourned at 1:30 a.m. to reconvene Tuesday evening. Ratepayers attending the meeting asked for a culvert to be moved, gravel, adjustment to business and property taxes, and queried width of driveway allowed for drive-in restaurant.

A delegation from the Curling Club attended the meeting to task that the roof to the rink be repaired before artificial ice is installed. They also presented the price for installation of concrete floor over the pipes of the ice plant. A price of $3,400 was presented to the council for repair of the roof using rubber roofing, coated with aluminum. It was felt that this was too expensive for the present time and it was decided to recover the roof with rubberoid roofing volunteer labour from the curling club. Cost of the concrete floor would be $6,400. It was felt that this should be done at the time piping is installed as cost at a later date would be considerably higher due to work that would have to be done over.

Town council, here’s a million dollar saving Dear Editor, I noted in Sylvan Lake council’s wish list that they want to spend $1.5 million for a aerial fire truck — it took me two minutes to find a brand new fire truck that has 5,000 miles on it and the seller is a town that has to downsize its dreams. The truck is fully certified and ready to go — a 2005 American Lafrance 110 foot aerial quint fire truck. Me personally I am the kind of guy that likes my money in the bank instead of on the driveway. That’s my contribution to the town today — I just saved the town $1,150,000. The asking price for this new truck is $380,000. My God people of sylvan lake — stop to think for a few minutes — the town is dancing with destruction — fiscal suicide. We do not need a $2 million parade float. In regards to the request on the agenda for a sidewalk along Lakeshore Drive, the proposed solution may be a $500,000 project that could just as easily be done for $10,000. The roadway needs repainting — repaint and call it a pedestrian/ bicycle lane. Put up signs, please don’t spend millions more on crazy ideas. Please also consider this. The town had a

cash surplus of almost $7 million prior to the spending spree. It now stands in debt with between $22 million and $8.5 million depending on which news source you follow.

That’s a pile of money for a town of 13,000 to spend on a town hall and a park with no sidewalks from the marina west, yes that’s quite the promenade. I watch people walking a 16 inch wide strip of concrete beside a

six foot wide flower garden. Who plans this??

When will common sense prevail? Dear Editor, The countless and continuing changes over the past 22 months at the intersection of highways 781/11 and highways 11/20 seem to indicate that maybe Alberta Transportation and the “experts”” (Castleglenn Consulting of Calgary) are not so “expert”. The endless and massive amount of cash being thrown at these 2 intersections could be better spent on Highway 63 where people die monthly. Currently at the highways 781/11 intersection all that the public has is two very poorly marked curbs running down the centre of the highway. The majority of the time the signs are laying flat because they have been run over. The public has also lost the turning lane on Highway 11 when turning south onto Highway 781 — this brings all eastbound traffic nearly to a screeching halt to allow traffic to turn south. This intersection is currently overgrown, with nearly four foot high weeds obstructing driver sight line. We continue to have restricted and unsafe access for emergency response crews required south on the Highway 781 corridor for emergencies. All of this has been done to avoid installing one set of traffic control lights at 781/11. How many light standards are currently at the Hwy 11/20 intersection? How much taxpayer money has been spent there? (Wait for the icy mess this winter, as the east ditch drains west across the intersection). When will common sense prevail? Concerned taxpayer, Ken Somerville, Sylvan Lake P.S. GPS units are continually sending tourists with trailers north and south through the intersection, also there is still no signage on 50th St. directing tourists on how to get to Innisfail and Calgary. (Elections are coming soon.)

Educational tools like Floyd important in engaging patients by Kerri Robins Special to Sylvan Lake News

The good folks in the physiotherapy department at Sylvan Lake Community Health Centre, don’t mind “Floyd” hanging around. In fact, they’re quite used to him — he’s very quiet, but keeps a watchful ‘eye socket’ over the department. Floyd is an artificial articulated skeleton — meaning the head, neck, torso and limbs are connected in a way that allows movement between different body parts in order to demonstrate how they work. Suffering from sports-related injuries and arthritis in her back and neck, Carol McMillan was a patient at the health centre physiotherapy department for about two years and wanted to “pay forward” on the great treatment she received. “The physical therapists and staff made my visits and treatment successful,” said McMillan. “They explained my treatments thoroughly and it just felt right donating funds to David Thompson Health Trust for the purchase of the skeleton for education.” And therapists have found Floyd is a valuable educational tool. “We use the skeleton a lot and it really helps our clients understand their treatment program and set realistic, achievable goals for their recovery,” said Bev Loven, physical therapist at the health centre. An excellent visual, Floyd helps clients see how the body works and how their injuries affect them. On Floyd’s left side, markings show where muscles are attached and his right shoulder, hip and knee

The story is written with a comedic flair with many elements that we can all relate to and it will end with a good old-fashioned Christmas Pageant. It was enjoyed by all who attended regardless of gender or age. One lady said, “I really had my doubts about this production when I bought my ticket but it was excellent, way beyond what I ever imagined”.

“The Poplar Grove Ladies Club” is again going to be performed as a major fundraiser for Dickson Store Museum Society after last year’s successful debut. After the performance, the museum received requests to do the play again. At the annual meeting in February, society membership voted to proceed with two more performances. They will include a dinner theatre the evening of Friday, Nov. 29 and a dessert theatre Saturday afternoon, Nov. 30 at Spruce View Hall. The theme of the play is traditions and the decline of service clubs. It is also about a community working together and respecting one another.

Red Deer County on board with lake access study by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

Red Deer County councillors unanimously agreed to participate in a Regional Collaboration Grant application to fund a study considering the implications of the construction of a formal boat launch at Range Road 2-1 at Sylvan Lake. They adopted the resolution during their regular meeting Aug. 6.

Administration will now forward notice of the resolution to Lacombe County, which is acting as the host authority in applying for the grant. Sylvan Lake Access Committee, made up of representatives from municipalities surrounding Sylvan Lake, met at the Lacombe County office July 4 to discuss the issue of lake access at Range Road 2-1. Through the meeting, it was determined that

a study would be necessary to evaluate the potential for the site to be used as a boat launch. The study will also consider management of lake access at other points around the lake, and address the issue of lake access in the future. Lacombe County will proceed with the application for the grant once each of the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surrounding municipalities has agreed to participate. Reactions varied widely to Red Deer Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

proposal earlier this year to close the road at Range Road 2-1 due to concerns of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;misuse and abuseâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council was trying to find a solution to that road, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concern that you can drive right into the lake,â&#x20AC;? said Red Deer County legislative services manager Nancy Lougheed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking to close it to vehicle traffic so that just foot access would be provided, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done by way of road closure.â&#x20AC;?

SHAKE THE LAKE A SUCCESS AT NEW DOWNTOWN LOCATION spectators, for the music. “We weren’t sure how BMX was going to fare on its own, but it was great. There were times when the stands were just about full, which means we’ve got around 1,000 people in the room.” Co-operation from local businesses near the festival site was key to the success, said McIntyre. As were the many volunteers who dedicated their time, skills and effort to ensuring things ran smoothly. “Quality people produce quality work, and we can credit the success of the festival to the people who are volunteering to make it happen,” he said. “As far as volunteers go, they’re passionate about it, and I think that really reflects in their work. “We’ve got some really key people in some really key places.” McIntyre also spoke of his delight at being able to work with members of his family, who he said have made “many sacrifices” in ensuring the festival’s success over the years.

With about 8,000 people attending the sixth annual Shake the Lake over the weekend, festival co-ordinator Sean McIntyre is branding the event a major success once again. “I think we found our perfect location,” he said, referring to the festival’s new site at the corner of 50th Street and Lakeshore Drive. “We loved it down there, and having the music basically fill the beach as well as where we were was pretty special.” Eleven musical acts from across Canada performed on the festival’s stage Friday night and Saturday. A skateboarding competition also took place at that site, before the festival moved exclusively to the multiplex Sunday for a BMX competition. The format was new for the festival, and McIntyre is pleased to have seen so many people taking in events over all three days. “The site down there was really nice for us,” he said. “Because it was already fenced, that helped us out a lot, and the grass was great for the

I was never really a rebellious kid, but I didn’t always think before I acted. Like the time we were vacationing on Salt Spring Island and had gone to a small lake to swim and cool off. My family had one pair of Áippers that all Àve kids were taking turns using. When it was my turn I started swimming around, fascinated by how much stronger I could swim with the Áippers. I noticed on the far side of the lake, I don’t think it was more than 150-200 yards away, a small Áoating dock. I thought to myself, “hey, I bet I could swim across this lake.” My cousins were with us and so with the Àve of them and Àve of us there was a lot of splashing and chaos, so it wasn’t a lack of attention on my parents part, but you can imagine my folk’s reaction when they realized I was more than half way to the other side. I certainly didn’t need to imagine what their reaction might be. When they managed to get my attention I was told in no uncertain terms I was to get to the dock and stay there till Dad walked around the lake to get me.

Sponsored by the

On the walk back Dad justiÀably suggested I had used this as a means of extending my turn with the Áippers, but I honestly had no intentionally devious motives, I simply had never swum across a lake before and wanted to see if I could do it. However, I had pursued what I wanted without any consideration for anyone else, particularly my parents. That’s a natural inclination for most of us, including the way we relate to God. How often do we set our plans and make our decisions based on our own assessment of what we want to see, or think should happen in our lives. But we need to learn how to acknowledge the sovereignty of God in our lives, even in the small, daily, mundane things. One of the things that has helped me to live this way more consistently is to honestly examine my motives. Is the particular decision or course of action coming from a desire for self-fulÀlment or from a desire for Jesus? But let me caution you, I’ve found I need to be ruthless in assessing my motives. Like swimming across the lake, it’s easy to rationalize and justify, and wrap it all up in noble sounding motives, but really I just wanted to do my own thing. 4308 - 50 Avenue 403-887-1401

“Medical distress” linked to death of man pulled from water by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

A 42 year old Red Deer man died after “going into medical distress” while swimming near a boat in Sylvan Lake Saturday afternoon. Sylvan Lake firefighters were initially called for a water rescue about 1:30 p.m. but witnesses who noticed the man slip below the surface were able to pull him from the water and perform CPR while bringing him to the landfill pier where first responders from the fire department, Associated Ambulance and RCMP were waiting. The man was transported by ambulance to Red Deer Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead, reported RCMP Cpl. Mike Purse. A cause of death is not known at this time, but the death is not considered suspicious, he indicated.

While about 8,000 people are estimated to have attended the festival, he feels there were thousands more on the beach who also enjoyed its music. “We had some of our staff circulating the beach area, and people were loving it just as much down there as they were up at the festival,” he said. “More people were enjoy-

ing it than we even knew about.” McIntyre admitted that not everyone in Sylvan Lake likes the noise created by the festival.

Vocalist Ash Militsala welcomed the opportunity to return to the outdoor family-friendly festival. “We’re pop music, we love to make people smile and just have a good time, so this kind of setting we fit in really well,” he said. “I love doing shows outside, and I love the whole summer vibe. I’m totally for that.”

For McIntyre and his group of volunteers, rest following the festival’s completion will be short lived. Planning for Shake the Lake 2014 is already underway, and the event, as usual, will be “bigger and better,” he said. “We don’t know what that looks like yet, but we’re working on something. We’re really glad to have found a suitable location for the festival.”

Swedish visitors enlightened Rotarians as part of friendship exchange by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Members of the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake learned lots about Sweden when they hosted a Rotary Friendship Exchange tour from the Scandinavian country last week. The contingent of eight people visited a club in Canmore, touring that area, before coming to Sylvan Lake. From here they went to Calgary and then Lethbridge. Sylvan Lake Rotarians billeted the group and showed them around Central Alberta, exploring some places even they hadn’t visited before. The itinerary included lunch at Cronquist House in Red Deer last Wednesday, a tour of Sylvan Star Cheese, a cruise on the lake by Sylvan Cruises, a tour of a training oil drilling rig at Nabors Production Services, a tour and lunch at Leedale Hutterite Colony, lunch with Rotarians at noon last Friday, followed by a walking tour of the downtown area guided by historian Michael Dawe and a farewell dinner at Hockey Central’s Sports Bar & Grill last Friday evening. The follow-

ing day the group departed for Calgary. At Friday’s Rotary meeting, Marley Westerburgen, of HalleforsGrythyttan, narrated a powerpoint presentation, Getting to Know Sweden. Their Rotary district, #2340, encompasses 54 clubs in an area 100 kilometres from Stockholm west to the Norwegian border. “Sweden is very much like Canada, just higher (in latitude) than Canada,” she said. It’s the third largest country in Europe, spanning 1,500 kilometres north to south and 500 kilometres west to east. Interestingly, Westerburgen said, it’s tranformed itself from an agrarian economy to a sophisticated industrial nation. All education up to university is free. Everything for children is free, buses, meals. Medical and dental care is free to 16 years of age. “Our social services are really well developed,” she said. “It’s often called the world’s most generous social welfare system.” Sweden is rich in reserves of iron ore, timber and has plentiful hydroelectric power. Forestry, telecoms, automotive

Several Swedish visitors stopped to look at a memorial cairn at the corner of Lakeshore Drive and 46th Street which briefly details history of Sylvan Lake’s dance halls and the origin of jitney dances.

Cakes designed to look like Canadian flags were prominent during the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake’s meeting last Friday when they hosted dignitaries and guests from Sweden who were on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. Joining Rotarians for their meeting were Mayor Susan Samson, Jean-Pierre Grosvenier, Ingrid Grosvenier, Erik Berger, Marly Westerburgen, Karin Walegren, Sylvan Lake RCMP Cst.

Stars left Buccs dazed in semi-final by Brian Vossen Lacombe Express

It’s a tough pill to swallow. After their best season ever, Central Alberta Buccaneers’ hopes for an Alberta Football League championship title came to a grinding halt when they lost 15-3 to St. Albert Stars on Sunday. Head Coach Duane Brown said the Buccs weakness in this game was one they have struggled with all season. “Our Achilles’ heel was the same Achilles’ heel we have had all year — our inconsistent offense,” said Brown. “We couldn’t get any movement and when we did we turned around and shot ourselves in the foot with a turnover, with a fumble, or with a penalty.” Brown’s comments pretty much sum up how the game went. While the Buccs were ahead in the first half, they failed to gain any momentum and ended the half only three points ahead of the scoreless Stars. Whenever the Buccs got their hands on the ball in the second half, they began a slow and steady march up the field towards the end zone, but each time they got close, some kind of mistake turned the tides against them. It was those mistakes that ultimately cost the Buccaneers the game and their shot at an Alberta Football League championship, said Brown. He said that the Buccs should have built of the lead they had at the end of the first half. Unfortunately things don’t always work out the way you want. “The first we were in the lead, the second half we should have dominated,” said Brown. “They took it to us in the second half. Hats off to them, they played a hell of a game.”

There were no surprises from the Stars on Sunday, said Brown, they just came out and played hard. “They did absolutely nothing different than what we expected them to do,” said Brown. He added that the difference was the Stars’ execution. While the Stars were following their game plan, errors on the Buccs part ended up costing them yards and thereby points as well. “When you have guys make silly mistakes, it costs them,” said Brown. While the Buccs defensive line was solid as always, they can’t stop every single play they face. Any team can capitalize on a lucky break and Brown said that is exactly what happened on the Stars scoring plays. “Like it was all season long, our defense was the heart and soul of this team today,” said Brown. “Our inconsistent offence was the backbreaker.” Not only did the Buccs play a spectacular defensive game, the Stars also stepped up their defensive performance since the last time they visited Lacombe. Brown said that the combination of an inconsistent Stars contributed greatly to the Buccanneers loss. “It was just one of those days where the head didn’t follow the heart,” said Brown. Looking forward to next season, Brown said he foresees a lot of turnover within the team. He said it is unfortunate the team will be losing some of its veterans, but the team is aging and many players who have been playing for a decade or more can’t play forever. Brown added that there was also some great new talent that rose from within the Buccs’ ranks this season. He said he is confident that they can continue to build a solid team around younger players that have shown great promise this season.

Central Alberta Buccaneer Matt Merkley faced a pile of St. Albert Stars players as he tried to start a run to the end zone during Sunday’s Alberta Football League semi-final. The Buccs finished their season with a 15-3 loss. Merkley is one of several former H. J. Cody Lakers of the roster of the Buccaneers this season. BRIAN VOSSEN

Elliott captured medals in senior games competition by Treena Mielke Rimbey Review

There is no age limit on the thrill of competition, the excitement of winning and the golden opportunity of making strangers into friends. Just ask Allen Elliott, an 80-something volunteer handibus driver in Rimbey. Elliott recently returned from the 55 Plus 2013 Summer Games sporting a gold medal in shot put, silver medals in javelin and discus and a bronze in 100 metre. Elliott looks years younger than his chronological age and is as proud as punch about his medal wins. However, he stressed, winning isn’t everything. “Participating — that’s what it’s about. If you’re there and you’re participating, that’s the main thing. Anytime you’re active, especially if you’re a senior, that’s a good thing.” Elliott did not let his artificial knees keep him from competing in the 100 metre run. “I took off in the race and I noticed there were only two people ahead of me. I decided then that I’d better start taking the race more seriously,” he said with a smile. A knee replacement certainly didn’t keep Elliott out of the race, nor does his age keep him from staying active and helping others. As well as being a volunteer driver for the Rimbey Handi Van, Elliott helps operate Serenity Pet Shelter on his farm located south of Rimbey. (He received a Helping Hands award at Sylvan Lake’s Volunteer Impact Gala in April for his work with Serenity Pet Shelter Society.) “We live in a wonderful world and we need to be the best we can possibly be,” he said. Elliott began attending the senior games in 1998. At that time he lived near Sylvan Lake and was on a slo-pitch team made up of players in the Bentley area. However, the team quit entering the senior games when they reached the over 70-age

category. Elliott, however, continued to enter, competing in other track and field events. Over the years, he has usually brought home a collection of medals, but insists the Games are about so much more than winning. “The camaraderie; that’s number one,” he said. “You meet some wonderful people there. And the whole program at the Games is just wonderful.” Elliott is hopeful two of his daughters whom he says are athletic will eventually attend the senior games with him. “We’ll see. I’m going to work on it. It’s a dream that I would like to see happen.” The Alberta 55 Plus Games held in Barrhead and Westlock from July 25 to 28, included more than 1,000 participants and 800 volunteers. The Games provide a venue for Albertans 55 years of age and older to pursue greater levels of physical, social, intellectual and creative achievement through friendly competition and participation.
