Sacrifices, remembrance and peace themes of Remembrance message On Remembrance Day we “recognize and express our gratitude to the men and women who have served our country in the military” … “we honour and remember those brave men and women who offered their lives in service to their country. We honour the courage they showed in their willingness to lay down their lives for their friends.”

“Scripture,” the chaplain said, “has much to tell us about people today was established to honour. Probably the most often quoted verse on such occasions is John 15:13, “No one has greater love than to give up one’s life for one’s friends”.”

“Jesus Christ laid down His life, not for His own sake, but for the sake of all people, including us today. Christ himself was the model of this kind of sacrificial love, and we are called to follow his example.” … “These words — that the greatest love is to lay down one’s life for one’s friends — refer especially to His own sacrifice — but they also hold true for anyone who is willing to lay down their lives for their friends.

That love that he fought from — a love for the human race — is a love that a good soldier shares. It is a love that inspires him to deeds of great sacrifice. It is a love that carries him through long nights and terrible warfare. And it is the Lord’s love, although he feels it as his own.”

Kim said, “The good soldier does not go to war because he loves war, but because he desires peace. The goal of every good soldier is peace — true peace, heavenly peace.

This is not the apparent peace that comes when one country dominates another, or the false peace in a nation where the ruler treats his people as slaves. True, heavenly peace comes from following the Lord in freedom. That is what the men and the women who have fought and died for this country have truly fought for — the freedoms that we all enjoy today, the most important of which is this: the freedom to follow God as we see fit.

Spontaneous applause at the end of Monday’s Remembrance Day ceremony at Sylvan Lake’s multiplex capped the best attended service in the community’s history.

As the colour party marched off, followed by Veterans, Legion and Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary members and others in uniform, the crowd of about 1,200 people showed their appreciation with prolonged clapping.

Among those marching and in attendance were large contingents from 41 Signal Regiment, 2 Squadron Red Deer; Sylvan Lake RCMP officers; Sylvan Lake firefighters; and members of Sylvan Lake’s Girl Guide and Scout organizations.

The service began with reading of Lt.Col. John McCrae’s famous poem, In Flanders Fields, by Rev. John Yoos. Reta Coubrough read the Reply to Flanders Fields by John Mitchell.

At several times during the service, young people were called to participate.

Pathfinder Darion Hamilton and Guide Alyssa McDougall read the scriptures.

Kirstynn Joseph, Derek Penman and Michael Bentley, winners of the 2012 Literary and Poster competition sponsored

by The Royal Canadian Legion, Sylvan Lake branch, read their entries.

Chaplain Rev. Jin Woo Kim of Memorial Presbyterian Church talked of sacrifices made in the name of protecting freedoms, achieving true peace and of remembrance for those sacrifices, in his address.

“Since 3,600 B.C., the world has known only 292 years of peace,” he began. “During this period there have been 14,351 wars large and small, in which 3.64 billion people have been killed … Since 650 B.C., there have also been 1,656 arms races, only 16 of which have not ended in war. The remainder ended in the economic collapse of the countries involved.”

He concluded with “thanks for men and women who have given their lives for our freedom” and “thanks to God for those who stand guard over Canada today to protect and preserve our freedom”.

Following Kim’s inspirational message, Cadet Sergeant Derek Penman played the Last Post. The Lament was piped by Robert and Sylvia Morrison then Penman played Rouse. Sylvan Lake Legion President Steve Dills recited The Act of Remembrance.

European market open for business to Canadians Stephen Harper’s Conservative government has reached an agreement-inprinciple with the European Union.

Once ratified, the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement will be the biggest trade deal Canada has ever made.

Increased exports to the EU will boost Canada’s economy by $12 billion annually — equivalent to 80,000 new jobs. This is like adding one and a half times the total number of jobs currently found in Red Deer to the Canadian economy.

Today, one in five jobs in Canada is already linked to trade. Giving Canadian businesses free-market access to 500 million new customers is going to have profound, positive effects on Canada’s production capabilities, wages, and longterm prosperity.

CETA liberates European market access for nearly all primary and valueadded sectors in every corner of Canada.

The elimination of European tariffs on Canadian metal, mineral, plastic and chemical products is significant. This includes the elimination of European tariffs on advanced manufactured goods

BY DONALD MACSWEEN SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS While it is a well known fact that my dad was a Presbyterian minister, it is not well known that he was inducted into First Presbyterian Church in Prince Rupert at the 11 a.m. service, Sunday December 7th, 1941. Pearl Harbor was attacked at 12 noon Prince Rupert time that same day.

He volunteered for service as a padre, but the the Army turned him down as being too young (he was 29 — the age restriction for padre at the time was 35) but he soon served as an unofficial padre to the thousands of Canadian and American troops who passed through Prince Rupert bound for the Aleutians and the South Pacific. Prince Rupert was a sub-port of embarkation of the Seattle Military District.

I well remember his ARP (air raid patrol) tin helmet, and the marching troops, and the warships, and the brass bands.

He had been asked to let the American Commander in Prince Rupert know if he heard of any houses becoming vacant as

Canadian agricultural producers will finally be able to compete in the European market and their world-class products will surely be in high demand.

European tariffs are being eliminated on Canadian wheat, barley, rye, oats, and canola oil.

Canadian pork, beef and bison producers have secured preferential treatment with new tariff rate quotas and can expect a significant increase in exports.

Minister Stephen Harper, Canada now has free-trade access to over half of the entire global marketplace.

Earl Dreeshen is the Conservative

Last week’s threat to end our fall weather was, after all, only a threat. It turned out nice again. The sun is shining brightly and skies are clear. The temperature has a tang which is not unpleasant and what little ice had formed on the lake, has disappeared.

he, the American Commander, wanted to move his family to Prince Rupert to join him. In late May of 1942, my dad heard of a house coming available, and went down to the American offices. He was kept cooling his heels for a long time, and when the commander came out he told my dad he had only one minute of time. The message was delivered, and the commander after some thought told him, “if my family were here in Prince Rupert today, they would be on the train out of here tonight”.

My mom and I were on that train that night bound for Winnipeg — the home of my grandparents. My dad stayed in Rupert. That night was the eve of the Battle of Midway, which was the turning point of the Pacific War. The balance between the warring forces was so tight that it could just as well have gone the other way and had that happened, the outcome of the war could have been very, very different for the west coast of North America.

There are many thousands of stories of those who, for one reason or another, could not serve on active duty, but who

in their own way did their part for their country. We should remember them just as we remember those who were on active service.

Remember them all on their day — Remembrance Day. We should be proud of them all.

GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

Dear Editor, For anyone collecting old war stories, the story opposite is about my Uncle Alex MacSween, written by my cousin Donald MacSween Alex MacSween was about seven years older than my father, Ian MacSween, who ministered at Sylvan Lake Memorial Presbyterian Church between 1943 to 1950. My uncle eventually became Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada — the highest attainment for a Presbyterian minister in this country.

My father had ulcers — his mother died while he was a teenager, and I think the stress caused by her illness and death led to the ulcers. Although my Dad tried to enlist in Winnipeg, he

was rejected. Many of his schoolmates enlisted into a Winnipeg regiment which was sent in late 1941 to defend Hong Kong after only minimal training and into a hopeless situation, thanks to our shortsighted PM Mackenzie King.

Needless to say, those who didn’t die or were executed by the Japanese spent a horrible four years as prisoners of war.

Visiting the war cemetery in Hong Kong (truly a beautiful location) was my homage to those men, as well as to my father and uncle. Thanks to Sylvan Lake News for publishing that article.

Thanks to the Sylvan Lake Legion for a well organized Remembrance Day ceremony this morning - great turnout!

Jim MacSween, Sylvan Lake

If further proof was required that this is really a beautiful fall, it was brought to us yesterday — a wild rose. The bloom was picked by little Anita Hagerman on November 6, on the farm of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

His title “Remember and Carry On” and he enlarged this theme by stating that the benefits, privileges and freedoms that we enjoy in Canada today are not of the result of any effort on our past. Our heritage has been handed to us by those who have gone before, those who fought and those who died for their ideals and beliefs.

We must remember those who died and in remembering them, recall that they died to preserve the freedom from tyranny that we enjoy today. We must also ensure that we do not take this freedom for granted.

Those who could not serve should be remembered as well

Safety mandates clearing away snowbanks at 11 and 20 Dear Editor, The intersection of Highways 11 and 20 just got more dangerous. Highway crews have been building snowbanks on the east side of the intersection further reducing visibility east and west. The snowbanks on the north side between the four lanes do not help either.

East travelling vehicles turning north onto Highway 20 are already sitting in a depression in the road and the snowbank to the east makes west moving vehicles harder to see. Even west moving traffic has difficulty seeing vehicles in the turning lane.

As I approached the intersection, travelling west, I could only see the windshield of a waiting car — no lights and no car body.

Safety mandates clearing away the snowbanks and elevating the turning lane.

What’s going to happen when the snowbanks get higher and the road gets icy?

RCMP NOTES

IMPAIRED DRIVING CHARGES LAID IN HIGHWAY 11 INCIDENT NEAR ECKVILLE

Modelled

- Loverne Tymchuk was one of the models at a fashion show during the open house of My Best Friend’s Closet at Gospel Chapel Saturday morning. The third annual event featured women’s clothing that was available free for people to take. Kelly Mykyte explained that My Best Friend’s Closet, in a room at Gospel Chapel, is open all year round by appointment (403-391-1148) but a clothing drive and open house are held once a year to promote the service. “People donate easily but it’s harder to get people to take free clothes,” she said. “This feeds my passion for fashion.”

“This community has got a big heart, it’s so generous,” Pam Towers said while telling Rotary members about Sylvan Lake Food Bank.

“There’s such amazing support.”

Since January, the food bank has given out 680 hampers. These have gone to 397 adults and 283 families which included 548 children.

The food bank is open from 9 a.m. to noon every Wednesday in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Then at other times during the week, hampers are available at Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners’ Association office on 50th Avenue.

“We see a lot of families, people who have just moved to Sylvan Lake,” said Towers. With utility hookups and damage deposits they’re financially stretched and “may use the food bank for two or three months until they get caught up”.

At other times they see single adults who have lost a job, need help because of health issues or are waiting for a government cheque.

“What they need most is encouragement, understanding and often a big hug,” said Towers.

Through financial donations, she told Rotarians, the food bank is able to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, milk and butter for the hampers.

“We have wonderful volunteers. We see lots of tears and heartfelt thanks,” Towers said.

Last Christmas food bank volunteers prepared 47

hampers. They do this only for adults and couples since the Christmas Bureau handles hampers for families.

“We refer families to them,” said Towers of the special hampers which provide for bountiful Christmas meals.

Referring again to the community’s support of the food bank, Towers said, “the school kids get so excited when they do a food drive. Every school in this town does them at Christmas and at other times of the year.”

Pam Towers accepted a $900 cheque for Sylvan Lake Food Bank from Thelma Maris, acting president of the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake last Friday. The money was collected by Rotarians walking along the Santa Claus parade route last December.

Important we foster bilateral trade relationship with China: Dreeshen

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Helped

- Aislan Gyori, Sara Tallon, Keara Slimmon, and Sierra Hilman were among the students who set up the dollar store at École Fox Run School for Operation Christmas Child. Missing is Blythe Playford.

PATTI GETTE

Use of Canadian educational curriculum in Chinese schools sparked a sense of pride in Red Deer MP Earl Dreeshen when he participated in Canada’s state visits to the People’s Republic of China and Mongolia last month.

The Canadian mission focused on developing partnerships in commerce, innovation and education.

“To see the enthusiasm shown by our hosts regarding the use of Canadian curriculum at primary, secondary, post-secondary and graduate levels was a sense of pride for me having been an educator for 34 years,” he

said in the House of Commons Oct. 30.

In addition to visits to Chinese universities, the delegation also met with Chinese and Mongolian politicians. “Our numerous roundtable discussions allowed us to expand and strengthen our economic, cultural, and knowledge-based collaboration,” said Dreeshen.

He told the House of Commons that Central Alberta businesses, as well as organizations such as Access Prosperity and Alberta’s excellent post-secondary institutions can benefit from increased co-operation with China. “It is important that we foster our bilateral trade relationship so that Canadian exporters can thrive in the Chinese market.”

Last year, China became Canada’s second largest export market after the U.S.

Missouri trip opened opportunities for Sylvan manufacturer

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A business owner is aiming to use his experiences on a recent trip to the United States to benefit his Sylvan Lake based company.

Scott Getschel, owner of Fiber-Werx International — a fiberglass manufacturing company — travelled to Missouri in late October to connect with other similar businesses, and to

tour their facilities.

Along with Central Alberta: Access Prosperity and a delegation of other Central Alberta companies, he undertook the trip to promote his company’s products and seek potential new partners.

“It was a great experience for all,” he said. “We made some really good contacts down there, and I’ve got a lot of follow-up to do. I think we’ll probably end up doing some business down

there.”

The trip was the result of collaboration between Red Deer College (RDC) and Missouri State University.

RDC students, in conjunction with Missouri State students and state economic development officers, set up meetings for each of the companies represented.

The students were then given the opportunity to sit in on the meetings.

Getschel was looking for the

“There’s a lot of opportunity there and we have a lot of interest in that area in our product. I think that’s going to be beneficial.”

SCOTT GETSCHEL, OWNER OF FIBER-WERX INTERNATIONAL

opportunity to partner with another manufacturer or distributor for his company’s Rizor truck bed tonneau cover.

While he initially felt “a little

bit reluctant” about going on the trip, he admitted it was well worthwhile.

“Since going on it, I’m very much glad that I did,” he said.

“There’s a lot of opportunity there and we have a lot of interest in that area in our product. I think that’s going to be beneficial.”

Fiber-Werx manufactures a large range of products, which includes everything from water slides to tanks capable of transporting dangerous goods.

“We’re one of only four companies in Canada that can do that,” said Getschel.

“We can virtually make anything out of fiberglass.”

About 40 air rifle and pistol shooters competed at match

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Shooters from all over the province and beyond test their skills against one another at the 2013 Alberta Handgun Association (AHA) Memorial Match in Sylvan Lake.

Held at the community centre over three days beginning last Friday, it offered participants from a wide age range the chance to put their air rifle and air pistol training to work.

Sylvan Lake resident Arno Baron, who is an AHA provincial pistol coach, couldn’t be happier with the way things ran, and spoke highly of Sylvan Lake’s ability to host such events.

“The (community centre) is excellent. Everybody liked it,” he said. “Everything was just top-

Four acoustic microphones in the targets score each shot to an accuracy of within one-tenth of a millimetre.

Baron said other events will likely take place in Sylvan Lake in the near future, possibly as soon as January.

As far as venues go, he’s happy to see the community centre used again.

“Everything (about it) is good,” he said. “It’s a nice, warm place, easy to find, the lighting is good.”

Good venues aren’t the only thing this area has to offer, he added.

“The calibre of shooters here in our area is just phenomenal.”

Results from the match weren’t available at press time.

notch, and the staff at the community centre, they’re great.

Very helpful.”

Baron said participation was down slightly from last year, but he blamed that on poor winter travel conditions. With competitors from as far away as Saskatchewan, weather is a factor that needs to be considered in evaluating the participation rate.

Nonetheless, about 40 air rifle and air pistol shooters took part, firing their best shots on Saturday in an attempt to advance to Sunday’s finals.

Shooters stand ten metres away from a black-dot target and aim to hit the centre.

Males fire 60 shots in 75 minutes, while females fire 40 shots in 55 minutes — all at the end of a 15-minute preparation period.

Morgan Wereley took aim during the 2013 Alberta Handgun Association Memorial Match in Sylvan Lake Saturday.

Shaylene Lunam used precision to line up her next shot as she competed at the community centre Saturday.

Lakers held on for win over St. Paul; play Ardrossan in north final Saturday

BY JACKIE LAROCQUE SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS It was a long haul to St. Paul for the H. J. Cody Lakers football squad and parents for their first provincial playoff game this season.

With the Lakers ranked seventh and St. Paul ranked third in the province’s Tier III division, it promised to be a game of skill and fight to see who progressed to the semi-finals. Fans and parents weren’t disappointed — cold — but not disappointed.

Halfway into the first quarter, Shon Zenert and Landon Rosene moved the ball inches away from a touchdown, enabling Trent Kondor to run the pass for the first points of the game.

St. Paul Lions put up a good try to score their first touchdown but Sulley Larocque with Shon Zenert tripped, flipped and slammed Lion after Lion. Not to be out done, Kyle Eckenswiller and Josh Barrie flipped a few Lions into the cold field. The Lakers headed into the second quarter with a 7-0 lead.

It proved to be an exciting quarter with ups and downs. The Lions made their first touchdown early, tying the game.

Skylar Selk whipped the ball to Trent Kondor who had the ball tipped off his fingers, juggled it a bit, almost lost it, but recaptured the ball for a 50 yard run.

Fumbles on both sides, interceptions slipping from freezing fingers and missed kicks riddled the second quarter. A fake punt fooled the Lions enabling Sulley Larocque to grab a pass and bolt for a first down.

Back and forth went possession. Bryce Marshall and Ivan Mirafuentes blocked and held the Lions’ offense.

Gokie Kataoka, covering the receiver, prevented a catch and tackled his charge to the ground.

But with all the tackles and coverage, the Lions managed to score another touchdown before half time. TJ Sloboda burst through the Lions line and blocked the ball preventing the convert.

The second half brought more chilling wind and skiffs of snow. Josh Barrie ran a touchdown bringing the score to 14-13 for the Lakers.

Skylar threw a 30 yard pass into the hands of Josh Barrie bringing the Lakers ever closer to the goal posts.

A quick pass to Landon Rosene and the Lakers gained a lead of 21-13.

Chase Elwood, Liam Hoven, Bryce Marshall, Bradyn Marchessi and TJ Sloboda formed a wall that the Lions couldn’t penetrate very often. Sulley Larocque alligator rolled more than one Lion with the ball and Dylan Keller dove and splattered a few Lions on his own. Kyle Eckenswiller continued to drop in front of the ball runner, sending him flying into the dirt. Then the ball slipped from a Lion’s paws and Bryce Marshall, casually bent down and scooped the ball for a 50 yard gain.

The Lakers couldn’t gain the necessary yards and a Lion caught the punt in the end zone. Whichever way he went a Laker was there. Taking the road of safety, the Lion player took a knee, giving the Lakers two points, bringing the score to 23-13 for the Lakers going into the fourth quarter.

The winter chill started to seep into the bones of players on both teams and chattering teeth of parents set the background for a nail biting final quarter.

The Lions made a breakaway early dodging Lakers and getting into the Lakers’ zone. Determined not to allow any more breakaways, the defense tightened up and Bryce Marshall managed to push the quarterback away from the goal posts 15 yards.

Gaining possession of the ball, the Lions also prevented the Lakers from any significant yardage. Then the Lions make another breakaway to score a touchdown bringing the score to 23-20 for the Lakers.

The Lions and Lakers battled in the Lakers’ zone with the Lions determined to get over the line for one last touchdown. The Lakers were equally determined to hold the Lions at bay during the last seconds of the game.

With ten seconds left, the Lakers got possession of the ball. Skylar took a knee to run the clock out and the Lakers won.

The Lions make yet another break away, causing Ben Butcher to be helped off the field after he tried to trip up the ball runner and got run over himself.

Alberta Scotties hosted by Sylvan Curling Club approaching fast

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

After more than a year of planning by local organizers, the Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Sylvan Lake is fast approaching.

“It’s coming faster than people think,” said Lesley Hill, one of the committee members. “We’re starting to sell tickets — event passes plus individual draw tickets.”

Already two teams have been named, she added. The Renee Sonnenberg and Heather Nedohin teams are the first of nine teams to qualify.

The next two teams will be named in early December then playdowns take place for the remaining places.

“We’ll know all the teams by Christmas,” said Hill.

Expect world class curling at Sylvan Lake’s multiplex when the teams take to the ice January 8-12.

The last time Sylvan hosted the Alberta Scotties, in 2009, it was the Cheryl Bernard team which won. They went on to win silver at the Vancouver Olympics.

Hill added, “to host twice in five years is pretty amazing when you think about the number of venues across the province.”

She attributed that honour to the fact the local committee “really did do a good job last time”.

They’re planning to live up to that reputation again.

“We’re still looking for volunteers for pretty much everything — ticket sales, lounge services …”

The organizing committee has been working on hosting the Scotties for the past year and a half, but has been really focused since the provincial juveniles were hosted here last March.

As with all events of this magnitude, sponsors are vitally important to the success. Hill said there’s still room for a couple more sponsors to get on board.

“We’ve got great boxes and will provide signage and all kinds of stuff.” More details are available on the website

albertascotties2014.com/.

Former junior curler Dean Thiessen will be entertaining with a jazz trio in a lounge on the mezzanine of the multiplex after the evening draws Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

There will be a player meet and greet and a chance to get autographs from the high profile teams competing.

One of the things that’s been added to this year’s event is a silent auction to support Sylvan Lake Curling Club’s building

fund. “We’ve got some pretty neat items,” Hill said, adding they will always accept more. The current curling facility is expected to be closed at the end of this season and a new building constructed. “Our next focus will be to get a new facility,” Hill said.

Those interested in contributing may phone host committee chair Noreen McCallum at 403-887-4010 or Lesley Hill at 403-887-3778 or contact them through the webpage.

Tickets for the Scotties will be on sale at

the Spirit of Sylvan Yuletide Festival for people who are interested in giving them as Christmas presents. They may also be purchased through the website or at Sylvan Lake Curling Club. Early bird prices for event passes are in effect until tomorrow (Friday, Nov. 15).

SportsNet West has confirmed they’ll be televising the semi-final and final games on the last day of competition. They’re bringing a crew of 25 people, said Hill.

“It will be lots of fun,” Hill enthused.

Ammeter acclaimed for second term as director of Alberta Barley

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A Sylvan Lake area farmer is one of three acclaimed as directors of Alberta Barley following the close of nominations Oct. 31.

Mike Ammeter (Sylvan Lake), representing Region Three as a Director-atLarge, will return for a second term. Also acclaimed were Region Four Director Bernie Klammer (Vegreville) and Jason Lenz of Bentley who will replace outgo-

ing vice-chairman Trevor Peterson (Penhold) as Director in Region Three.

“It is always exciting when you have a mix of experienced board members and new people stepping up,” said Alberta Barley Chairman Matt Sawyer in a news release. “I look forward to working with Bernie, Mike and Jason and am confident they will do a great job representing barley farmers.”

As a second-term director, Ammeter pledged to work on crucial priority areas to grow the industry.

Celebrate something you can share...

“We are working for producers to have a healthy barley industry,” he said. “I am always looking to do what’s best for farmers.”

After spending six years as a delegate, Lenz said he is thrilled to be an active voice for farmers.

“I will work hard to carry on this invaluable work in support of the great barley producers we have here in Region Three,” he added.

The directors’ terms officially begin on Dec. 5 at the annual general meeting.
