Contract for library renovation project to be part of 2014 budget discussion

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Tenders close today for the renovation project at Sylvan Lake Municipal Library and council will be asked to award a contract during budget deliberations in January.

During Monday’s meeting, Ron Lebsack, director of community services, updated councillors on the project which includes conversion of the former Archives space for library use, changes to create better traffic flow near the front entrance and a handicapped accessible washroom.

“It will make the space so much more functional,” said Lebsack. “Upgrade use of the main elements of the library, service area and front counter.”

The town’s 2012 feasibility study for a community complex identified the existing library as being undersized for the current population and recommended a larger library be constructed as part of the first phase of a new community hub.

in February “to contribute to the development of a functional, attractive and cost effective community facility”.

Design work was undertaken with a final preliminary design and cost estimates presented in October.

The estimated cost of renovations is $400,000.

Asked if the library will operate throughout renovations, Lebsack said it won’t be physically closed but some areas may be closed off to allow work to proceed.

Councillor Matt Prete asked if the additional 900 square feet gained from the Archives space would bring it within the recommended size for a library in a town of Sylvan’s current 13,000 population. Lebsack

However public input of household priorities and preferences didn’t identify library expansion as a high priority. The survey showed the library ranked as the fourth most important existing facility but fell to eighth out of ten in the category of facilities that needed to be built or enhanced in the next three to five years, according to Lebsack’s report.

As such it was recommended the library “could comfortably operate out of the existing location for the foreseeable future with an expansion to occupy the entire building when the Archives relocated to the new Municipal Government Building”.

Based on that direction a library expansion task force was established

Group home shutting because of lack of government funding, commitment Dear Editor, Trying to start a supported living facility in Sylvan Lake has been frustrating.

In August of 2012 we bought a duplex in Sylvan Lake with the idea of starting a group home in Sylvan Lake. We were told that the need for providing this service is great and a real shortage of beds exists especially when dealing with people with mental illness and/or those with developmental disabilities.

Operating in good faith, and with many years of experience in the social services field, we were confident of being able to provide a high quality service and the Town of Sylvan Lake seemed a logical place to get started.

Little did we know that this process would prove to be difficult with many hurdles to cross. We did not realize the process was going to be this much work for this good cause.

We were able to get all municipal approvals and subsequently get many applicable licenses including the Alberta Health inspection, fire inspection, building inspection and finally the license for the Alberta Supportive Housing Standards.

Many of these licenses and inspections are major hurdles, but we crossed them all.

Next step was to contact agencies that are in charge of managing government funds for service providers. This proved to be the greatest hurdle of all; not only did we not follow the norm of asking for government capital funding, but in our ignorance, we did not follow the procedure of establishing a contractual relationship before we started.

We believed that rather than asking for government funding to purchase a home (a process that could

take a year), we purchased the facility ourselves (possibly foolish move), and furnished the duplex with everything needed to run this type of facility.

In spite of the unconventional way we got all the pieces together, we are now in total limbo.

Government agencies are telling us that Alberta Health Services has no money to spend for services that would have people presently in hospitals (some for as much as years) move into the community with a high level of care.

You would think that if clients would be better served in a community setting, at a much lower cost with a higher quality of life, that this would be a no brainer. All government reports (policy papers, etc.) talk about the need for more community facilities such as ours.

There is no lack of residents looking to get placed in the community; there is, however, a lack of available beds.

One would think that our model of privately financed facilities would be a welcome sight for our cash strapped government. Here we are providing a beautiful set-up; with eight bedrooms, four full washrooms, a double kitchen, and in a great location … just waiting for a government agency to allow us to get going. This is not about qualifications either, as both my partner and I are well qualified and able to provide high level care.

Another agency we are dealing with is Persons with Developmental Disabilities. We have not been told that there is no funding, but instead, were informed that the process of becoming a service provider may take as long as 12 months, or longer.

It is all about the accreditation

process which depends a lot on your written proposal. We did write a proposal and comments were made to make some additions and changes. These changes would be required in order to meet the standards as set out by PDD. This process would not take long, maybe a week or so, but still final approval will take up to a year.

Now, that Aspen House has been operational for eight months, we continue to run into barriers. We populated the house with adults having a variety of mental health needs. We are charging a nominal fee to provide for a furnished house with individual bedrooms, great food, cable television, etc. A lot of these accommodations most of us expect to have in our homes, too.

Unfortunately, without government support, the finances have barely been able to support one staff member. I work between 60 and 70 hours a week, and am on call to the needs of the residents on a 24-hour a day, seven day a week basis. The business manager had to step down from his active position due to lack of funding.

A lot of the services provided in Aspen House are as follows: 1. Teaching life skills and the responsibilities of independent living skills. This would entail that from doing house chores, personal hygiene, cooking, cleaning, yard maintenance, etc.

2. Setting up menus, grocery lists, and teaching the residents shopping techniques in the community.

3. Setting up family doctors, dentist, optometrist, specialists, mental health, and psychiatrist appointments for all residents and supporting each to attend. (both in Sylvan

Lake and Red Deer) 4. Administering medications, up to three times a day, for those residents that require this service.

5. Provide community integration to attend ie. swimming at the pool/beach, bingo, library access, shooting snooker, bowling, movies, fishing, watch softball/hockey games, walks in the community, church activities, etc.

6. Communicating with significant service providers to attain the best service for these individuals ie.

Public Guardians, Trustees, Social Workers, Employment Services, Mental Health, Probation, and families.

7. Organizing pharmacies to handle medications.

8. Provide support for those who have been able to gain employment.

9. Attend and address a variety of service organizations for support. ie.

Lions Club, Rotary, etc.

10. Go shopping with individual residents for personal items ie. clothing, rec supplies, etc.

11. Attending volunteer activities in the community.

12. Just going for a drive and/or coffee.

These are a number of the services provided for up to eight residents on a weekly basis by one staff member.

Unfortunately, I am needing to close Aspen House as services seem impossible to be rendered by one person with no support funding. It seems that our government does not support the need for this service to be provided in our community at this time.

In other business at the meeting, commission members approved a subdivision application to create three lots on the east side of Hinshaw Drive south of Herder Drive.

The proposal was a reapplication of a file which received conditional approval in September 2008 but was not proceeded with due to the economic downturn.

The area is already zoned for high density residential development.

Many events planned to enhance Christmas season in Sylvan area

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

There will also be chances to relax and listen to the talents of friends and neighbours, as well as to contribute to those less fortunate in our environs.

Santa Claus parade and fireworks The highlight of the season, at least for the young people, is likely to be the Santa Claus parade and all its sparkling lights, taking place beginning at 7 p.m. Friday night from the community centre. It will travel west along 47th Avenue to 50th Street then go north to Lakeshore Drive before turning east to 46th Street where it goes

south and ends at the health unit on 49th Avenue.

Channelle Arnold, with the town’s recreation department, said Monday afternoon they had 16 entries for the parade and were taking some at the last minute.

Sylvan Lake’s Rotary Club members are eagerly looking forward to the parade. Each year they walk along beside the crowd asking for loose change for Sylvan Lake Food Bank. This year they’ll be joined by members of the Interact Club from École H. J. Cody High School. This activity annually

raises about $1,000.

Fireworks will be set off from the pier following the parade. Arnold estimated that would be about 8:15 p.m.

The pleasing melodies of festive music Spirit of Sylvan are capturing attention as the much anticiYuletide Festival and Market pated Christmas season arrives in Sylvan An ever expanding event, Spirit of Sylvan Lake.

Sloboda providing musical accompaniment for Rosebud performance SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Laker Kaitlyn Sloboda, a student of Rosebud School of the Arts (RSA), is performing during the school’s Christmas musical ‘The Other Side of the Pole’.

She takes on the enormous — and originally daunting — role of playing

musical accompaniment on the piano for the entire production.

“Being the kind of person who would take on anything, I agreed to look over the score,” said Sloboda.

“As I was playing through it, my thoughts were ‘What am I thinking?

I can’t do this!’ But I kept going. I powered through the difficult notes and complicated songs, and now I’m

stunned that I can play through these songs with ease. God has given me a grand opportunity to be in a show that allows me to explore all that I love; singing, dancing, playing piano, and acting. It’s a rare thing and I’m truly grateful.”

With characters named Bauble, Sparkle and Marzipan and a set painted like a giant candy cane, this year’s Christmas musical promises to be a feast for all the senses. Accompanied by a wide variety of musical interludes ranging from ballads to rap songs, the play follows two friends, Sandy and Willie, as they unravel the mystery of why Christmas has been banned in their little town of Split Hoof — and what it might take to bring it back!

Rosebud School of the Arts is a post-secondary educational institution that offers conservatory training in theatre and music. Its unique relationship with Rosebud Theatre allows students the opportunity to apprentice in productions with Alberta’s largest rural professional theatre. As part of the curriculum at RSA, second-year students present a play and are involved in all aspects of production: acting, singing and dancing in a main role and also working in an area of technical theatre: props, costumes, sets or lights.

In the director’s chair is Deanne Bertsch, a well-known Rosebud Theatre actress and choreographer who has directed many student productions in the past.

“Deanne’s prowess as a storyteller and choreographer brings this story to life in a whole new way,” said Paul Muir, Education Director. “She has a visual language that is incredibly engaging to watch. And to top it off, Deanne is so good with the students. She expects a lot, but she is also a great encourager, and the students respond to that.

Deanne creates a magical energy in the rehearsal hall.”

That magic will surely make its way on stage.

“This is a wonderful show for everyone to see,” says Bertsch. “It is about Santa and the elves and Rudolph, but it is also about the true meaning of Christmas and how there is hope for reconciliation and forgiveness in all of our relationships.”

Said Sloboda, a 2011 graduate from H. J. Cody School, “I’m always struck, as I watch the action unfold from the piano, how much family means when the holidays roll around. I hope people take from this play a fun, vibrant reminder of how important our loved ones are. Add that amazing message to the fun, colourful, romping musical numbers and characters and it’s an over-the-moon (or pole) adventure!”

The Other Side of the Pole plays Nov. 29 to Dec. 21 Thursdays – Saturdays (excluding select dates) at 4:30 p.m. on the Rosebud Studio Stage.

For tickets call the Rosebud Theatre Box Office 1-800-267-7553 or visit www.rosebudschoolofthearts.com for more information.

Volunteers and all the beautiful women that attended!

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go,” wrote Meredith Wilson.

What does Christmas look like to you? If you’re a Canuck from central Alberta it may well include the beauty of freshly fallen snow or “Oh no, more white stuff to shovel.” It may look like too much hustle and bustle or the joy / possible pain of family gatherings.

Ideally when we think of Christmas we think of giving. Whether it is a Christmas gift, supporting the Christmas Bureau or wishing someone a “Merry Christmas”.

When Christ came that first Christmas it truly was all about giving. The Creator became a creature. Imagine!

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

The Divine condescended to take on human flesh and blood. The One who knew no limitations was dependant on a teenager’s birth canal to bring Him into the world. The hand that put the stars in place grasped the finger of his mother.

Ultimately the One who knew no sin was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. (II Corinthians 5:21) For God so loved you and me that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but might have eternal life.

(John 3:16).

This Christmas why not look afresh at the Christ of Christmas? See His amazing love as he sacrificed to serve us humans. Then it will look even more like Christmas everywhere you go.

Snow clearing underway on residential streets; will take 2-3 weeks

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Snow clearing on the town’s residential streets is underway after several storms dumped more than 55 cm. of snow in the past month.

Residents are asked to watch for ‘no parking’ signs which will placed a minimum of 24 hours in advance of clearing operations and are valid for 72 hours, said Joanne Gaudet, the town’s communications officer.

“Municipal Enforcement will remove unlawfully parked vehicles at the owner’s expense.”

The program is expected to take two or three weeks and may take

longer if more snowfall requires crews to return to arterial and residential collector routes.

All streets will be cleared and sanded, including closes and cul-desacs, said Gaudet in a media release.

Any snow piles and windrows left in the middle of the road or piled at the centre of closes or cul-de-sacs will be removed, typically within 72 hours.

“Please keep children away from equipment or snow piles.”

If you have questions or concerns please contact public works staff at 403-887-2800. If your vehicle has been towed contact Municipal Enforcement at 403-858-7282.

Lakers bound for provincials after winning gold at zones

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Parents, teachers and former players packed the stands Saturday to watch École H. J. Cody Lakers senior girls volleyball team win gold during Central Zone finals.

“I’ve never seen it that loud before, it was a different atmosphere,” said coach Jason Chatwood.

The girls went through the tournament undefeated, winning both games

in round robin play — against Camrose and West Central from Rocky Mountain House. Then they beat Ponoka in the semi-final before progressing to the final against Lacombe Rams.

In that match they won 25-17, lost 23-25 and then won the final 15-9.

The Lakers completed their regular league play with a 7-1 record and first place so were number one seed going into the weekend, said Chatwood.

“The girls saved their best for last this weekend,” he said. “This is the best all-

round effort I have seen from them.

Everyone contributed and they deserve to wear that gold medal.”

The team has been getting better and better all season. “They’re working really hard at practices — it’s been fast paced, awesome,” the coach said.

There has been lots of volleyball in the last couple of months for these girls.

They played in five tournaments as well as all the league games.

“The girls have worked extremely hard all year and have come together as

BECAUSE THERE IS AN ELECTRICITY PLAN THAT GIVES YOU STABILITY

a team to accomplish their goal of making the provincial tournament,” Chatwood said. “I truly believe with the team that we have, if we play the way we can, there is a very good chance that we could medal at the provincial level. It is a very exciting time here at H. J. Cody and the girls should be very proud of themselves.”

Last year the Lakers lost in zones to Lacombe who went on to win provincials.

“It helped the girls who were there last year, seeing what it takes to win the zone tournament,” noted Chatwood.

The Lakers will represent the Central Zone at 3A Provincial Finals which are being held Nov. 28-30 at Edmonton’s Saville Centre.

Chatwood said that since this is the 50th anniversary of the provincial tournament, Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association (ASAA) is hosting all boys and girls levels at the same location. That means there will be 96 different teams competing over three days.

THANK YOU! We would like to thank the following organizations for the “Day of Caring” Pirate Ship Reno’s.

Members of the H. J. Cody Lakers boys junior varsity volleyball team included Gallen Donaghy, Caleb Adams, Dawson Main, Zack Kostiuk, Tyrone Noble, Tayler Diebert, Ryan Kostyniuk, Chase Allen, Devyn Blondheim, Jewssi Andrews and Austin Ilcisin.

CINDY OVERMARS

Boys JV volleyballers enjoyed respectable season of growing

BY COACH WAYNE HALLIDAY SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

For the first time in years H. J. Cody fielded a junior varsity boys volleyball team made up of mostly Grade 10 students and we’re looking to build on this in the coming years.

Theresa Donaghy started last year with a group of Grade 9 students who showed chemistry and the desire to play volleyball and this laid the foundation for the junior varsity team.

With the foundation set and anchored by setter Zack Kostiuk and team captain Gallen Donaghy we entered the season with the focus on development and building for the future. Our coaching plan was to enter tournaments and play as many games as possible to aid in getting the touches required when building a strong foundation.

By season end we played 26 matches made up of 76 sets and during these matches we saw the players start to understand the game and show the emotion and desire to compete.

to earn his playing time. Caleb Adams led the middles with speed and quickness with Austin Ilcisin steady and consistent while Tyrone Noble showed the most improvement and is going to be a force in the

middle. Power hitters were led by Gallen Donaghy with great back court play and hard hits while Dawson Main, Tayler Deibert and Jessi Andrews showed the growth that is going to see them succeed. The back court defense was solidified by Libro Ryan Kostyniuk. The team went three and five in league play and we were very confident heading into the league championship but due to weather the league championship was cancelled.
