A study presented to Sylvan Lake councillors last Tuesday contradicts a contention of Marina Bay homeowners that silt from Golf Course Creek is clogging their lagoon. STEVE DILLS FILE PHOTO

Minimal silt flowing into Marina Bay, town commissioned study states

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Very little silt is flowing into Marina Bay from Golf Course Creek, according to a report received by Sylvan Lake councillors last Tuesday.

That contradicted Marina Bay homeowners who have a long-standing concern that their marina and outlet channel have been adversely affected by silt from the upstream creek.

An initial investigation was undertaken by the town in 2008 to attempt to determine the status of the creek in terms of possible sources and potential problems with water quality and movement of soils.

The outcome of that was that more extensive collection and sampling was needed as well as a survey to determine the present configuration of the marina.

No further work was undertaken by the town until a meeting in Dec. 2012 with Homeowners’ Association representatives to receive a report they funded for restora-

tion of Marina Bay. Then council approved further investigation by Tagish Engineering and allocated $35,000 for the budget.

An executive summary of the Tagish study reported on testing which took place during 2013 and provide recommendations for construction of wetlands to further filter and cool water prior to it entering the marina.

The study stated substrate samples taken from the creek and lake are significantly different in content than those in the marina.

“The Marina Bay samples would have to be much closer in composition to the Golf Course Creek and Sylvan Lake Basin samples (which are both similar in composition to each other) for those samples to indicate any measurable amounts of siltation in the bay coming from Golf Course Creek or the Sylvan Lake basin.”

Another concern of homeowners was increasing water temperatures in the summer. Water sampling and testing was competed to establish if there was significant sediment or biological loading being transferred into Marina Bay.

The report stated that total suspended solids and turbidity in samples collected just downstream of the golf course were lower than flow coming out of Fox Run and Landway Landing subdivisions. This “would indicate that a certain amount of sediment has precipitated out as the flow crosses the golf course.”

The report concluded, “Overall, tests conducted by Tagish Engineering on water and substrate samples from the Golf Course Creek and Marina Bay area, as well as the site evaluation and data analysis, show only a very small amount of siltation could be credited to the flow in Golf Course Creek.

From the field data collected, it appears Marina Bay may not have been completed excavated to the original design concept, and without records of completed construction, or as-builts, it is difficult to determine what depth the bay was excavated to at the time of construction in 1988.”

On construction of the bay, the summary stated, “From the survey and analysis, it appears that Marina Bay was excavated to a depth that would generate sufficient fill

material required to create a grade suitable for building construction. The elevation maps … show that the deepest excavations in Marina Bay are directly adjacent to the area of development that would have required the largest volume of material to elevate the site.”

Several recommendations were included in the report. Among them were to continue with the existing aeration system in Marina Bay. A storm water retention pond and wetlands was recommended for the area south of Lakeshore Drive and behind houses on Willow Springs Crescent to allow water to cool down and sediment to settle before flowing into Marina Bay. A similar storm water retention pond and wetlands was recommended for an area directly west of Fox Run subdivision when the town expands to incorporate land west of 60th Street.

Councillors accepted the study for information and directed the findings be presented to Marina Bay Homeowners’ Association for further discussions.

I look out my window at the crusted snow, lit by a few streetlights and a string of misplaced Christmas lights.

Christmas with all its hope, unrealistic dreams, great expectations and slightly camouflaged greed is here again. And, once again, people are embracing it like a long lost friend.

I even heard someone say to me the other day they loved Christmas. It was their favourite time of year. This person was an adult, too.

It is true; we do need a little Christmas.

Or perhaps, what we really need is the faith to believe in what Christmas stands for so we know that somewhere in this tarnished and unhappy world, goodness will, in the end, win out.

And the Toronto Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup, making fans such as my brothers, who are watching the games from heavenly seats, very happy!

But that, perhaps, is too much to hope for.

Blood donor clinics being discontinued in Sylvan Lake after Nov. 23 clinic Dear Editor, When Canadian Blood Services was created, we promised Canadians a blood supply that was safe, sustainable, and cost effective.

While we are proud to have seen many strong accomplishments over the past years, sometimes ensuring we live up to our mandate of safety, sustainability, and cost efficiency means making difficult decisions.

Clinics are assessed annually according to a number of criteria, including staffing, hospital demand and cost efficiency. To keep up with hospital demand, Canadian Blood Services must collect a certain number of blood donations at every clinic we hold.

Based on the population and the current donor base in Sylvan Lake, we are unable to meet this minimum requirement, and thus, had to make the difficult decision to discontinue the blood donor clinics in Sylvan Lake following the final clinic on November 23, 2013.

While this change will not affect

our ability to provide a safe and secure supply of blood to hospital patients in need, we do recognize that the Sylvan Lake closure will make blood donation less convenient for some residents.

We encourage donors who would like to continue giving to visit Red Deer, where regular blood donor clinics are held. Please call 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283) or visit www.blood.ca for more information.

Canadian Blood Services commends the dedication of the many volunteers, donors and community partners who have supported the blood system in Sylvan Lake over the years. Your contribution will forever be valued by our organization, and by those whose lives you have helped to save.

With Sincerest Gratitude, Trish Moore, Community Development Coordinator, Canadian Blood Services, Edmonton

Protection of trees a concern during demolition for infill construction

need to make it very clear they’re an important part of development.”

Prete added it’s important to get the message to the developer before the architectural process is started. “If we give them parameters, they will work with them. If we wait until architectural plans come in, then we’ve got a fight on our hands.”

Councillor Jas Payne said he’d looked at the site and some of the trees need to go. “I think we have the ability in the development plan phase to say we have this desire as a community.

There is an opportunity to have development that comes with character. At an early stage of development this is going to be an easy fix.”

The town’s Municipal Sustainability Plan (MSP) also talks about preservation of

existing trees under its environmental pillar, indicated Payne.

Earlier in their meeting, councillors had accepted for information a recommendation from the Community Services Committee to review the MSP which was created in 2010 and included 168 action items within five pillars. To date 30 items have been completed, 59 are ongoing and 19 in progress.

Councillors will discuss whether or not to proceed with the MSP review in conjunction with budget deliberations.

Preservation of trees became an issue at Sylvan Lake council last Tuesday when Rod English applied for a demolition permit to remove a house and garage at 5048 52nd Street.

Following lengthy debate, councillors approved the demolition permit for buildings on the property only.

Then they unanimously approved a motion asking administration to prepare a report on existing regulations in the Land Use Bylaw regarding preservation of trees and provide recommendations on how to strengthen the regulations.

There was no indication in the application that trees were 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477) going to be cut down, but counWe want your INFO... cillors wanted to be proactive ...NOT your name on the issue.

Design for Lighthouse Park and soil testing of the area are proceeding after councillors unanimously approved the work at last Tuesday’s Sylvan Lake council meeting.

The park will be located on land the town received from Sylvan Lake Harbour Ltd., developers of WatersEdge Condominiums and Marina, in the area where the previous lighthouse stood north of Lakeshore Drive.

Ron Lebsack, the town’s director of community services, said the town received the land and a 30 metre right-of-way from Lakeshore Drive to the park, as well as $58,050 cash-in-lieu to satisfy the developer’s requirement to provide 10 per cent of the subdivision for municipal reserve.

Sylvan Lake Rotary Club is spearheading development of a new lighthouse and hopes to construct it in 2014. In order to work with those timelines, the town needs to prepare

plans. The design will include access to the site via a paved trail from Lakeshore Drive, tree and shrub plantings, and amenities such as benches, garbage receptacles, etc., said Lebsack’s report to council.

“The natural access to the lake on the north-east portion of the lands may also allow for a small beach development.”

The park design process will include a public information and review process before a final draft is proposed to council.

He estimated design and soil testing would cost about $15,000 leaving the balance of the cash-in-lieu available for actual park development.

The Rotary Club will be responsible for raising money and constructing the lighthouse in conjunction with the town and will then turn it over to the town.

“Promotion and public awareness of the park development and lighthouse development will be coordinated with the Rotary Club and will work to promote the entire project as a single community project,” said Lebsack’s report.

Planning for urgent medical care initiative moving to next stage

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A campaign to provide enhanced medical services to people in the Sylvan Lake area has passed another milestone.

A proposal was sent to Alberta Health Services by an October 1st deadline and “they liked what they saw”, said Urgent Care Task Force Chair Susan Samson.

“Now they’ve asked us to send a second letter of interest and go into the next phase which will take two or three months.”

The options for the committee are to form a non-profit association or get Alberta Health Services to be the front organization and develop a business plan.

Samson said the committee will reconvene in the next week and get into detailed discussions about who is going to do what in the next steps.

“Things are pretty positive. We’re pleased to be moving forward with the province.”

Dispelling information circulating in the community, Samson said elements of the Family Care Centre concept are “the same as what we wanted for urgent care — seven days a week, extended hours, medical treatment for non-critical emergencies, same day access to medical doctors, and access to lab and x-ray”.

“We’re still asking for that, now it’s being called a Family Care Clinic and we’re pursuing that because the province calls it a Family Care Clinic,” said Samson.

Danielle Kerr shaved the head of Donny Sears at the Legion Saturday night.

Sears, who also lost his moustache, was one of five people who had their SUBMITTED heads shaved.

Dancing, head shaving contributed to success of benefit A team effort which raised $8,540 through the sale of Tim Hortons Smile cookies was recognized Monday at the local business. The money was raised for Sylvan Lake’s Urgent Care initiative. Joining in the celebration were cookie seller extraordinaire Linda Harp, co-owner Tanya Doucette, Urgent Care committee members Teresa Rilling, and Klaas Van Veller, baker Junilyn Taguinod, co-owner John Paul Doucette, Urgent Care members Susan Samson and Laurie Norris and Doug Gunn, Tim Hortons director of marketing for Western Canada.

Gunn said the cheque represented the highest individual store sales of the popular Smile cookies in Alberta and far surpassed last year’s total of over $4,000 for the Sylvan Lake franchise. “It’s just a remarkable effort.”

Tanya Doucette added they were “beyond thrilled. This speaks volumes to how much the community wants this (urgent care) facility. We’re so grateful the people of Sylvan Lake and area are so supportive of these initiatives.” During the campaign, members of the Urgent Care committee worked in the drive-through lane to drum up additional cookie sales.

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Five people had their physical appearance drastically altered after they bravely volunteered to have their heads shaved during a fun night of dancing and fundraising at Sylvan Lake Legion Saturday.

The event, held as a benefit dance in support of cancer-stricken Sylvan Lake resident Danielle Kerr, quickly turned into a head shaving competition, with funds collected throughout the evening totalling $2,156.

Organizer Lisa Oickle was happy with the way the evening unexpectedly transpired.

“My son and one of his friends had been going around collecting donations to shave their heads, and all of a sudden we had two other friends say they would shave their heads if we raise $300,” said Oickle. “We had $300 in about five minutes.”

Oickle’s husband then offered to shave his head if $700 was raised, and his moustache if funding exceed $1,000.

He was without both by the end of the night.

“By about 12:30 a.m., five people had their heads shaved,” said Oickle. “It was good.”

Also taking place were several raffles and draws, including a

50/50 that saw the winner donate his $132.50 winnings back to the cause.

“That was awesome,” said Oickle.

Live and silent auctions allowed attendees to bid on items contributed by businesses and individuals, including clothing, gift baskets and a coffee machine.

Money was also raised through admission to the event, which was charged at a price of $5 per ticket, or $10 for 3.

Oickle felt more people would have attended had it not been for inclement weather.

She was pleased by the amount of support shown by those who did attend, however.

“The people that showed up were just amazing,” she said.

“Everybody was great.”

Several downtown businesses contributed to auctions, and also helped to ensure the evening’s success, she added.

Oickle noted that help from individuals such as Gena Williamson — who ran the auction — was greatly appreciated.

Further donations in support of Kerr may still be made by phoning Oickle at 587-876-6133.

Funds raised will help cover Kerr’s treatment as well as various other expenses associated with it.

Arctic’s uninhabited areas provide interesting sights for explorer

Modern day explorer John Dunn shared experiences and told stories as he painted an intriguing picture of Canada’s high arctic for students at Poplar Ridge School Nov. 1.

Born and educated in England, he moved to Canada in the late 1980s and has been pursuing his dream of exploring and photographing the arctic.

He’s completed 20 expeditions, totalling over 1,100 days in the

field.

Dunn focused his presentation on a 600 kilometre human powered journey around the edges of Devon Island and over the ice cap, a trip he did in May and early June of the year he travelled.

Photographs and videos enthralled students who listened and learned.

He and a partner pulled sleds loaded with supplies and food for a month or two during their journeys into the wilderness “seeing the wonderful things out there”.

Much of his trips is spent skiing and pulling sleds close to the coastline because there’s more wildllife near the ocean.

. . . interesting sights for explorer Continued from Page 8 Dunn explained that because humans are number two on the food chain (polar bears might eat you), he and his travelling companion don’t do any hunting or fishing. They keep their camp very clean and uninteresting for bears.

“I really liked this place (Devon Island) so I have gone a couple of times,” he said. “We work very hard but our reward is being out there enjoying the area.”

He said they did meet bears but were able to avoid close contact by their vigilance or by waiting for bears to move along.

Showing pictures of some of the polar bears they met, Dunn said on his three trips to the island they saw 80 polar bears. And he showed the sightings plotted on a map indicating their preference to stay near the shores and their all important source of food — seals.

“We’re always looking around at interesting stuff,” he said.

Devon Island is now uninhabited but the Inuit used to live there and have left the remains of their camps.

Dunn described Muskox as “probably my favourite Arctic animal. They’re very well adapted animals.”

Travelling along the coastline can be treacherous, he showed in some of his pictures, as ice might break off and float out to the ocean when warmer weather arrives.

During his travels they were sometimes hiking on water covered ice which had resulted from melting glaciers flowing down to the water’s edge.

“As the ice is breaking up we have to be creative about how we get across open water,” he said, showing pictures of various portage methods. In one case they turned their sled into a boat and paddled around the coast.

Another instance showed a sail rigged to their sleds to help with pulling.

“How do you go on without any snow (when it’s melted)?” he asked. “You get inventive again.” In that instance he showed a picture of wheels added to their sleds. “It’s fun to solve all the problems along the way.”

At one location they stopped at a building built by the RCMP when they had a station on the island at Dundas Harbour. Another picture of that location showed an arctic hare beside the long since abandoned out house.

At a certain stage in their trip they started to climb the ice cap to get over to the other side of the island. The dangers of fissures in the ice and fast flowing melt water rivers were emphasized as he guided students through his journey.

Following his presentation, students

amount raised.

June Duncalfe was one of several people who organized the event in support of Shawna Seifert, whose husband was killed earlier this year in a motorcycle crash.

She wasn’t sure exactly how many people attended the silent, live and dessert auctions that were held throughout the evening, but estimated it to be over 200 people.

“It was a great time,” she said. “In this town, the people are absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Money was raised through the auction sales of desserts, hockey jerseys, handcrafts, and other items donated by family, friends and community members.

Items up for grabs also included metal art created

by Darcy Fullerton and Tim Toews.

As well as many individuals who donated to the event, the local business community also provided much help.

“They were behind us all the way,” said Duncalfe.

A letter distributed by organizers prior to the event noted that funds were being raised to “show our love and support for Shawna and family … our hope is to financially assist Shawna with her expenses in these difficult months ahead”.

raised, Duncalfe was pleased to see so much support for Seifert, and assured that organizers had met that goal.

She appreciated the number of people who showed up to the event, despite adverse weather — which, for some, made travelling difficult.

“It blows my mind,” she said.

“Despite the weather, people made a huge effort and came out.”

Lind a member of spaying, neutering team headed to Mexico

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Selection

- Gordon and Charlene Peel and Ray Reynolds filled their trays with a selection of delicious cookies during the Benalto Christmas sale and cookie walk hosted by Benalto Royal Purple on Saturday at the community hall. Organizers estimated over 1,000 cookies were available. Weather hampered attendance with several of the vendors not making the sale after a dump of snow the night before. The food counter was hosted by Benalto Shadow Riders Horse Club.

STEVE DILLS

A Sylvan Lake resident won’t have time to enjoy beaches and warm weather on her trip to Mexico early next month.

Instead, Jackie Lind, along with a group of other Canadians, will spend five days spaying and neutering animals in Bonfil, near Cancun.

Lind, an animal health technologist at Olds College, is travelling with Cats and Dogs International (CANDi), which aims to save the lives of stray animals through its programs.

Although she has embarked on similar trips in the past, Lind expects this one to be particularly productive.

“We are going to spay and neuter about 300 animals a day,” she said.

“Here in Alberta we do about 140 a day.

“It will definitely be busy.”

With Alberta Spay and Neuter Taskforce, Lind has carried out similar clinics throughout the province, and, on one occasion, in the Arctic.

In Mexico, she will be joined by 20 Albertans and 20 Canadians from

other parts of the country, along with 20 volunteers and veterinarians from the area where they will be working.

The clinic will run five days, with members of the travelling crew working three consecutive days before their only day off. During that day, they will visit Tierra de Animales animal sanctuary, to deliver Christmas cards filled with cash donations from Canadians.

“We were trying to think of what we could bring them,” said Lind. “We’re already pretty full bringing medical supplies down, and when I chatted with them, they said what they really need is dog food.”

The sanctuary goes through about eight bags of food every day for its 300 dogs.

Donations will also help cover vet bills.

While it is too late for Lind to collect anymore donation-filled cards to take with her, she hopes people will continue to support the cause by visiting the sanctuary’s website at www. tierradeanimals.org.

There, donations may be made by clicking the ‘get involved’ link at the top of the page.

RCMP NOTES

Impaired driving charge following early morning crash on 50th Street Saturday, November 9th 12:45 a.m. – A Red Deer female was issued a fine after a driving complaint was called to RCMP dispatch. The witness reported following a vehicle whose driver was all over the road, running red lights and stop signs in Sylvan Lake. The female driver was also seen driving on the wrong side of the road from Westview Drive toward Lakeway Boulevard. The vehicle was stopped by police near the Winks store on Lakeway Boulevard.

The 25-year-old female driver was determined not to be intoxicated; however she was issued a $402 fine for driving carelessly.

6:42 a.m. – A 911 call was placed to dispatch after a two vehicle collision on 50th Street at Memorial Trail in Sylvan Lake. A black car reportedly ran a stop sign at that intersection and collided with a truck. No injuries were reported, however after taking statements of both parties involved, constables utilized a road screening device on the male driver of the car as they detected a strong odour of alcohol on his breath. A

35-year-old Red Deer male is charged with impaired driving, driving carelessly and failing to obey a stop sign.

7:30 a.m. – RCMP are investigating a residential break in on 48th Street in Sylvan Lake. The homeowner advised police that the basement light was on when he returned home and he discovered the furnace room door had been pried open.

Nothing appeared to have been stolen.

5:57 p.m. – A fine was issued to a couple after repeated complaints of ongoing parties at a residence on Westview Drive in Sylvan Lake. A male and female were seen drinking in their car on the street with music blaring, causing a disturbance. The couple was questioned by police after they were found with alcohol in a vehicle parked along Westview Drive. Both were issued liquor tickets as a result of the infraction.

7:18 p.m. – A 38-year-old Sylvan Lake male is facing charges after police arrested him at the RCMP detachment in Sylvan Lake. The male was there on another matter and a constable detect-

ed a strong odour of alcohol on his breath. As a result, a breathalyzer demand was issued and the male was charged with impaired driving and failing to comply with conditions of an undertaking.

Monday, November 11th 1:06 a.m. – RCMP charged a male with drug possession after a vehicle was stopped off Highway 20 and Township Road 392. The RCMP officer was returning

from a call when he spotted suspicious activity involving a truck parked in a parking area off the intersection.

Donated - “Be a Ray of Hope” was the theme adopted by

students and staff at École Fox Run School during their Remembrance ceremony Nov. 6. Students created silhouette poppies and placed them on the wall under the silhouette soldier at the beginning of the service.

POLICE SEEK SUSPECT IN THEFTS OF VEHICLES, PURSES AND WALLETS IN ECKVILLE

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake RCMP are seeking the assistance in identifying a suspect who was involved in a rash of property related crime in Eckville over the weekend.

At least four houses were broken into and vehicle keys and wallets stolen. The residences were unlocked and people were in the homes sleeping at the time. As a result, four vehicles were stolen. Two have since been recovered in Red Deer, said RCMP Cst. Rod Johnson.

The suspect also entered several unlocked vehicles and removed purses and wallets. He then used or attempted to use stolen credit cards at locations in Red Deer and Blackfalds on Saturday morning.

The man was caught on numerous surveillance videos.

Poplar Ridge Elementary School student Donavan Nichols and fourth-year university student Deanna Kofin displayed their archaeology project at the school Tuesday.

Collaborative project benefitted both university and elementary students

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A unique collaborative project between Red Deer College and Poplar Ridge Elementary School saw students of both institutions meet for the first time Tuesday, after three months of corresponding with each other.

In September, Grade 5 and 6 Poplar Ridge students began logging journal entries addressed to fourth-year education students in the University of Alberta’s middle years program at Red Deer College.

In the same journal, university students then provided comments, before journals were returned to the younger students.

That process occurred weekly, and culminated when both groups of students met Tuesday.

“It’s worked out really well,” said Barb Hanson, instructor of the university class. “It’s been hugely successful.” She was formerly principal at Poplar Ridge.

Hanson explained that the younger students updated their university ‘buddies’ every week on novels they had chosen to read for the project.

Buddies then put their teaching skills into practice by attempting to engage younger students in their texts, through feedback they provided.

The project required the younger students to explain to their buddies different aspects of the novels. They provided information on characters, authors and other things they found interesting.

The entire process allowed them to understand and appreciate the value of reading and writing, according to Poplar Ridge vice-principal Claire Funk.

“They found that reading and writing can be fun,” she said. “This gave them a purpose and a meaning for their writing, and they were always so excited to get their journals back to hear what

their buddies had said.”

Funk felt skills and knowledge the students acquired from the program will benefit them in the long term.

“They learned so much about themselves and what they’re capable of,” she said. “It’s just been a great experience.”

On Tuesday, both groups of students met for the first time, and together in the school gym displayed archaeology projects related to the novels they read.

According to Hanson, the experience allowed the university students to experience one-on-one student interaction before they begin their teaching careers.

“It’s important that my students learn how to connect with kids through building a relationship,” she said. “That lends itself to student success, and that’s the main initiative.”

The project also allowed prospective teachers to learn more about improving a child’s reading and writing abilities, and gear their teaching strategies toward a particular student’s interests, she added.

Collaboration between the institutions is a new one, and was formed out of the RDC program’s desire to get students involved in collaborative community projects.

Fourth-year student Deanna Kofin enjoyed participating in the project and working with Poplar Ridge student Donavan Nichols.

“It’s just been incredible to see the creativity and to get to know him, as well,” she said.

Nichols said he enjoyed hearing back from Kofin each week, and was happy to meet her in person.

Parents, friends and guests explored the students’ archaeology projects in the school gym.

The journals, completed by both groups of students, were also displayed.

Ladies’ auxiliary donation to support lodge upgrades

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A generous $3,000 donation made by Sylvan Lake Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary will benefit current and future residents of Sylvan Lake Lodge.

Lodge resident services coordinator Carol Baragar, who accepted the donation last Friday, said the money would likely be used for upgrades at the lodge.

A new sound system is on the list of items being considered.

The funds were raised

through various auxiliary initiatives, including breakfasts, banquets and catering, and were presented by Katherine Duncan, Evelyn Crawford, Dot Boomer and Thelma Pauquette.

The presentation took place during the lodge’s Christmas tea and craft sale, during which residents were able to purchase tea and a tart for $2. Funds from that event go back to the lodge, and support entertainment and other in-house expenses.

Some of the unsold items from the craft sale will likely be shared with the community, said Baragar. She added that remaining toques and mitts

have in the past been sent to Haiti.

The day is not about fundraising, but rather about ‘fun’ raising, she said.

Giving Tree - Mary Anne Deines, Darlene McGeough

and Connie Cartwright (not in picture) decorated the Friends of Bethany Sylvan Lake Giving Tree at Value Drug Mart last Friday.

The project, in its third year, invites people to share the joy of Christmas in two different ways. First you can choose a gift tag from the tree and purchase a gift valued between $15 and $20, then drop it with the tag at Bethany Sylvan Lake on 47th Avenue

by Dec. 15. The other option is to donate your time any day of the year to visit with residents, help with recreation or special events, provide entertainment or fill other volunteer opportunities.

AltaLink projects underway will ensure reliable electricity supply

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Ensuring electricity is supplied in a reliable and non-interruptive manner is the aim of AltaLink projects underway in and around the Sylvan Lake and Eckville area.

An existing substation near Eckville built about 50 years ago is being relocated, and its aging equipment replaced.

Such changes will “maintain the reliability of the system in the area”, according to Peter Brodsky, manager of external communications.

The new substation will be situated about 30 metres to the north of the current location, he added.

The new location was determined after feedback from residents indicated a desire to see it moved farther away.

Attempts to meet their request were made unsuccessfully.

“We did receive feedback from residents in the area about the possibility of moving it approximately 100 metres to accommodate some municipal development,” said Brodsky.

After it was determined that the substation could be moved a maximum distance of 87 metres, an amendment to the facility application was filed requesting permission from Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) to do so.

“Unfortunately, they did not approve that request, and put us back to the 30 metres we were originally looking at,” said Brodsky.

He explained that the 30-metre move was initially considered by AltaLink as it had “the lowest potential for environmental impacts”.

“Although we did amend our proposal based on the request of landowners in the area, we do believe the 30-metre move is still the best one all around.”

The application was approved in October, with construction expected to begin in March of next year. Energization is expected by January

2015.

A July 2012 letter addressed to stakeholders noted that new equipment will include a circuit breaker, a switchgear building, a control building and a transformer with built-in regulator.

The letter also noted the potential signs of work on the project, including noise and the presence of construction crews.

Another project — Red Deer Area Transmission Development — has also seen upgrades made in the area.

Upgrade of the Benalto substation, which is now energized, was one of several substation upgrades made recently in the Red Deer and Sylvan Lake area as part of the project’s first stage.

Its second stage will see about 75 kilometres of existing area transmission lines rebuilt.

Although that application is currently before the AUC, construction could begin within months, according to Brodsky.

“Our hope would be that construction could begin in June 2014, with the belief that we would

be done by August 2015.

That tentative schedule, however, is dependent upon the AUC, he added.

He also noted that all transmission line work will be carried out in existing road allowances and previously disturbed land.

Collecting and acknowledging stakeholders’ feedback is key to ensuring their concerns are addressed by AltaLink.

With the Benalto substation, concerns about visual impacts of the project were addressed by an AltaLink commitment to planting tree screens around it, and in “areas where it makes sense to minimize the visual disturbance that may be of concern”, according to Brodsky.

Noise levels, another concern for many, comply with AUC Rule 012 - Noise Control.

“We’re very careful to make sure that we respect that,” said Brodsky.

Information about both projects, including maps, is available on AltaLink’s website at www. altalink.ca.

Postal elves ready to help Santa’s Post Office More than a million letters expected again this year

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Minions

- It was a coordinated effort for staff at École Steffie Woima Elementary School for Halloween Oct. 31 as they all dressed as minions from the current hit movie Despicable Me. Students and staff parade through the gym, the choir sang and a dance was held during the afternoon.

NORTH POLE, CANADA - “Treat every day like Christmas,” “There’s room for everyone on the Nice List” and “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loudly for all to hear.”

Santa’s Chief Postal Elf reminded all her crew — new and old — of these rules just last week. Santa’s 9,000 postal elves have their pens, pencils and mailbags ready to receive letters from children all over the world.

Santa’s postal elves will help him answer more than one million letters in more than 30 different languages, including Braille. More than 21.8 million letters have been received at Santa’s North Pole Post Office since 1982.

According to Santa’s CPE (Chief Postal Elf), Holly T. Elf, there are three golden rules in sending a letter to Santa: 1) Make sure you include your return address! While Santa knows where you live, his postal elves need your address to deliver Santa’s letter to your home. After all, not everyone has access to Rudolph!

2) Send your letter soon! Already letters are arriving from across the world and Santa is busy reading them every night with Mrs. Claus. He encourages you to send your letter soon to ensure he’ll have enough time to answer each and every one of them.

Letters must be mailed by Dec. 17 to allow enough time for travel to the North Pole and back!

3) Remember Santa’s address: When your letter is ready, drop it in a mailbox anywhere in Canada and the postal elves will make sure it gets to the big man quickly. Santa has a special arrangement with the post office and a stamp is not required. But please remember any other letter or card being sent to Grandma or anyone else needs a stamp. Santa’s address is: SANTA CLAUS NORTH POLE H0H 0H0 CANADA. The Santa Letter-writing Program is an employee-led volunteer initiative with current and retired employees donating more than 226,000 hours of time. The program, a classroom tradition with teachers, encourages children to read, write letters, and learn about the mail system.

Peewee female Lakers won top spot at Warburg tourney

BY JON GULAYETS SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

as the Lakers took the lead in the last two minutes of the game only to have Warburg tie it up seconds later. With 45 seconds left Sylvan was awarded a ‘hand on the puck in the crease’ penalty shot and was successful in scoring. A face-off win and a couple quick shifts of tight checking hockey sealed it as the Lakers came out victorious over Warburg with a final score of 3-2.

The Boston Pizza peewee female Lakers continue their season with another tournament this coming weekend. They’re in Calgary Nov. 21-24 to take part in the Wickenheiser Female World Hockey Festival.

The tournament is hosted by five-time Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser and includes over 60 teams — some travelling from as far away as Mexico and Finland to be a part of this world-renowned event.

Boston Pizza peewee female Lakers won the A final while competing in their first tournament of the year in Warburg during the weekend.

The Lakers started the tournament Saturday with a 9-6 victory over High Prairie. The second game was a hard fought battle seeing the Lakers defeated 7-4 to Grande Prairie. The team bounced back early Sunday morning with a tight checking 2-1 victory over Warburg Wolves to take top spot in the round robin and await their opponent for the final.

The final was a rematch from Sunday morning as the Lakers played the host Warburg Wolves.

The game kept the fans on the edge of their seats

Tyrone Noble and Denyn Blondeim denied an Innisfail hitter in JV volleyball action last Wednesday. H. J. Cody came up short losing in five sets 20-25, 25-20, 23-25 25-23 14-16. Tyrone Noble was named player of the game. The Lakers’ final tournament on the weekend was cancelled due to weather.

Lakers fell short in provincial semi-final after opening 14-0 lead in first quarter

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

H. J. Cody Lakers football squad exceeded expectations of coaches and a lot of other people to get within one game of a provincial championship match.

They were almost there, but it was not to be after they met Ardrossan Bisons Monday night at MEGlobal Athletic Park in Lacombe for the semi-final.

After tallying a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter, the Lakers saw their opponents tie the game by the end of the half and then add a touchdown with 1:50 to go in the third quarter to seal the win in a hard fought defensive match.

The final score was 21-14 for Ardrossan.

“A tough loss, we just needed to make the play at crucial moments but didn’t,” said coach Jeremy Braitenback. “There’s no shame in losing a tight game to one of the best Tier 3 teams in the province. The coaching staff is very proud of the season we had and can’t wait until next year.”

Fleet-footed Landon Rosene scored both of the Lakers’ touchdowns, the first on an eight yard run and the second on a 52 yard breakaway. Aden Smaill booted the con-

verts.

Rosene tallied 250 yards of the Lakers’ 318 yards rushing, on 23 carries. He was able to escape the clutches of Bisons on four of those occasions to rack up gains of more than 20 yards. Shon Zenert rushed seven times for 49 yards, quarterback Skylar Selk ran six times for 17 yards and Trent Kondor added two yards on two carries.

Selk completed seven of 15 passes for 66 yards. Receiving were Josh Barrie, four times for 43 yards, Zenert once for 13 yards and Kondor twice for ten yards.

The Lakers recovered three fumbles gaining changes in momentum at critical times during the game.

Rosene set up the Lakers’ with an opportunity late in the final quarter with a 37 yard gain on a hook-andladder play that gave them a first down. With the ball on Ardrossan’s 25-yard line, and needing inches on a third-down play Selk was knocked for a loss and the ball turned over on yards not gained at the 1:43 mark.

That was the last possession for the Lakers who watched as the Bisons ran out the clock and their chances for victory.

“I think we needed a foot. We didn’t get it and just before the play I said to my coaches ‘if we don’t get this we probably don’t deserve to

win’,” Braitenback told the Advocate. “We didn’t make it but I don’t think it just came down to that.

There are other plays that make a game and we didn’t make them and they did, especially in the second half.”

He added they were “not disciplined, especially in the first half ”.

“We kind of had them on the ropes when it was 14-0 and I think penalties let them back in the

game. That gave them the momentum and they just carried it through the second half.” Sylvan was penalized for 95 yards, as opposed to 40 for Ardrossan.

In other game statistics the teams were fairly evenly matched offensively with 15 first downs each. The Lakers posted 384 yards in offence, most of it on the ground, compared to 378 for the Bisons which included 202 in the air.

While Laker teammates blocked the Bisons, quarterback Skylar Selk (25) handed the ball to Landon Rosene (17) late in the final quarter of Monday’s game.

Nauticals earned best times at Poppy Meet in Edmonton PAM MOORE SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake Nauticals sent six swimmers in the 25th annual Poppy Meet in Edmonton Nov. 2 and 3. It was a fabulous meet and our swimmers did really well taking a lot of time off their previous best times.

Elizabeth Moore, 12, earned the aggregate medal for the most points in the 11-12 year old girls age group with a total of 63 points. Elizabeth won gold medals in 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle, 50m butterfly, 50m breaststroke, 100m backstroke and 200m individual medley. She also swam seven personal best times and broke five club records over the weekend. Great swimming!

Emily Girard, 10, swam in one of her last meets as a 10 year old as she is soon aging up. Emily had a good meet and came home with two bronze medals: one for 50m freestyle and the other for 200m freestyle. She also got seven personal best times.

Way to go!

Zoe Dejonge, 10, swam seven

personal best times and placed fourth in 200m freestyle and sixth in both 400m freestyle and 100m backstroke. Good job, Zoe. Keep up the good work.

Eliana Mulholland, 11, participated in six races during the Poppy Meet and earned six personal best times. She swam the 50m breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and freestyle and finished off with 200m individual medley and 400m freestyle. Great job!

Lexi Sparrow, 14, one of our senior swimmers, had a good meet earning six personal best times out of her seven swims. Lexi placed eleventh in both 50m and 100m butterfly, her favourite swim event. Keep up the good work!

Michael Carson, 12, our only male participant, had a good meet getting three personal best times and qualifying for finals in the 100m butterfly. Way to go!

The next meet for the Nauticals is the Winter Cup in Calgary the weekend of Nov. 23-24.

Good luck to all our swimmers.

Lexi Sparrow earned several personal best times at the Poppy Meet in Edmonton.

MCDONALD MCTIGHE Margaret ( Peggy) Sept. 12, 1923 - Nov. 5, 2013 Margaret will be missed by her daughter, Marilyn McDonald Wells and her children, Teresa Stone Lea ( M i k e ) a n d f a m i l y, C o l i n Stone (Natasha) and family a n d G r a y s o n We l l s ; h e r daughter, Diane McDonald Sim (Darryl) and their children, Natasha Sim, Sheena Sim Pike (Jay) and family, Derek Sim; her stepdaughter, Shirley McTighe Carruthers (Wally) and their children, Charmin and Laine, eleven greatgrandchildren, and one fifth generation great-great-granddaughter. Margaret is also survived by her brothers, Andy and Jimmy Webb (Jean), and sisters-in-law Alice Webb (Geordie), and Nora McTighe Broderson. Margaret was predeceased by her brothers, Geordie and Ronnie Webb; sisters-in- law, Cora Webb (Andy) and Shirley Webb (Ronnie); stepson, Wayne McTighe and son-in-law Bruce Wells.

Margaret was eleven when her mom died. Being the sole woman, for the most part, in a house with four brothers, a father and an uncle, she worked hard baking bread, biking home at lunch to put the loaves in the oven, doing huge amounts of laundry and cleaning to her perfectionist state.

She always looked forward to any news coming from “home”. Margaret’s husband, Douglas McDonald passed away in 1966. Both were born in McAuley, MB. She married Phillip McTighe and moved to the Eckville farm, where they resided close to thirty years. They moved off the farm to Rimbey and a few years later, Phillip passed away. Margaret was an oilfield secretary in Drayton Valley for Schlumberger, a postmistress at Sylvan Lake and a part time clerk at the Bay in Red Deer. Margaret will be remembered for her love of a good time, her ready laugh and her enjoyment of dancing.

She kept a spotless house, grew a big garden and prepared many great meals. After supper, she read her cherished newspaper. When Margaret wasn’t playing a game of cards with her grandchildren or great-grandson Andrew, she would be curling, fishing or camping. In the winter, she and Phillip frequently travelled to Mexico, St. Lucia, or Vancouver Island. Cross country skiing, potato digging, bonfires, skeet shooting, grouse hunting and great holiday meals are memories of good times at the farm. The families want to give thanks from the bottom of their hearts to Bethany Lodge at Sylvan Lake and Red Deer’s West Park Lodge for such excellent care for our little mom. There will be a private celebration of her life. Condolences may be sent or viewed by visiting www.parklandfuneralhome.com
