Bystrom farm centennial celebrated in style with over 150 in attendance

BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Family and friends were joined by nearly an entire community as they celebrated the centennial of a farm near Sylvan Lake Saturday night.

than 150 people who enjoyed an evening of music, food and fellowship in celebration of the family’s 100 years on the farm.

According to Pauline Lohrenz, who lives on the farm with husband Tyson and children Jemma and Karlena, it was the kind of party that comes along only once every 100 years.

“It was fantastic, really,” she said. “We had all the community, plus two sides of the family all at once, so it was something that doesn’t happen very often, and I was glad that we could facilitate that.”

for a while.”

The party’s invitation list quickly began to grow, and eventually included several generations of family members — some of whom lived on the farm at one point — friends, neighbours and community members.

“There are some people who are getting older, and they’re the ones that actually remember the farm, so it was something that we wanted to get them to so they could explain where things had been and how they remembered the farm,” said Lohrenz. “Then it got bigger, and because our (Centreville) community is a fairly tightknit community, and they all remember this farm as well, we didn’t really feel it was right not to have them come too.”

The farm has seen plenty of changes since it was purchased by Swan and Karolena Bystrom in 1913. But there are also some things that have remained unchanged, such as an original chicken house, and original barn that’s remained unmoved for over 100 years.

There’s also the original home, which the Lohrenzes heavily renovated and now live in.

Design work proceeding on next $1.9 million of Lakeshore Drive project

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS During their regular meeting July 14, Sylvan Lake councillors: • held a public hearing on the closure of 48h Street between 48th and 49th Avenues to allow for construction of the multiplex redevelopment.

Resident Dave Camac, represented by his son, indicated closure of the road would not be in his best interests from the standpoint of future development.

A road closure application will now be submitted to Alberta Transportation along with concerns voiced at the hearing for a decision before council can deal with second and third reading of a bylaw to close the road. • approved first reading of a bylaw to designate urban reserve in Beacon Hill to public facility district. Rezoning will facilitate development of a school by Chinook’s Edge School Division. The area is bounded on the south by Beacon Hill Drive, on the west by Brookstone Drive and on the north by houses on Bowman Circle. A public hearing will be held August 11. • directed staff to proceed with design and tendering for Lakeshore Drive Phase 5 at an amount not to exceed the approved budget of $1.9 million excluding GST. Work between 50 and 52 streets will allow for continuous pedestrian movement on the north side of Lakeshore Drive and also include upgrading existing sidewalks on the south side of Lakeshore Drive at select locations, upgrading the crosswalks at 50th Street and Lakeshore Drive intersec-

tion and performing road rehabilitation in the area.

Placement of a plaza feature and realignment of the existing sidewalk at the 50th Street connection from Lakeshore Drive to the waterfront is also planned. • awarded a contract for consulting services required for restoration of a wetland biofilter on Golf Course Creek at the outlet to Marina Bay to Applied Aquatic Research Ltd. of Calgary for the estimated amount of $26,210 excluding GST. The construction phase of the project will require budget approval in 2015. • deferred a decision on the most recent landscape design concept for the Ryders Ridge-Vistas park to their next meeting Aug. 11 so they can go for a walk-about in the area.

Councillors were happy with the concept which protected trees in the area but formalized some of the trail connections. • were jolted to life, after three and a half hours of meeting, when Councillor Graham Parsons made a motion to investigate renaming Highway 11A from Highway 2 through to Benalto as Lakeshore Drive. During subsequent discussion the motion was amended to just deal with 33rd Street within town boundaries from Highway 20 west to where it flows into Lakeshore Drive.

Parsons requested Alberta Transportation be approached about putting ‘to Lakeshore Drive’ on signs coming off of Highway 2 at 11A and coming off Highway 11 just east of Benalto.

The rationale, he explained was that when going to Edmonton there’s a sign that says Pigeon Lake north shore. “It makes you think there’s really something there.�

RECYCLE

YOUR PAPER!

Continued from page 2 As for the future of the farm, Lohrenz has plans for she and her husband to raise their children on it while at the same time running their oilfield service company.

They have no doubt that it will remain in the family for generations to come. “We’ve gotten this far, so it might as well,� she said. “That is the goal.�

Whether it will ever again see a party like Saturday’s, however, remains uncertain. “You kind of have to look at those things and say it’s not going to happen again,� said Lohrenz. “It’s a good reason to celebrate, and I don’t think that people celebrate agriculture enough, so you should take the opportunity if you have it.�

Distressed by decision to overturn MPC and allow secondary suite Dear Editor, The following is an open letter sent to the mayor of Sylvan Lake, which we would be pleased if you were able to publish.

Mayor Sean McIntyre, I am writing with regard to the recent overturning of a Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) decision regarding a secondary suite in the cottage area.

First, some background. As you are aware, in recent weeks and months, there has been considerable discussion regarding the whole concept of secondary suites in Sylvan Lake.

At a recent MPC meeting, a secondary suite was proposed for a 30 foot lot in the cottage area, which was to be a rental unit, both upper and lower suites. As a result of the rules governing the MPC, community input was allowed, notification of neighbours was required. The development officer was strongly in favour of approval of this development, and in statements mentioned that of the many property owners who expressed concern regarding the development, several were not full time residents of the area. It was pointed out by residents at the meeting that these property owners were in fact just that, property owners, and taxpayers. The MPC, after hearing the various presenters’ concerns regarding density and parking decided to disallow the development on the grounds that it was unsuitable for the area, which is designated as R5, with the specified purpose: “To provide an area for low density residential development in the form of detached dwellings and compatible uses, herein listed, on narrow lots.”

Shortly afterward during a town council meeting, a bylaw was presented to council for approval, which would have given the development officer complete decision making power regarding the granting of permits allowing secondary suites as discretionary uses in the town. This bylaw would mean that there would be no notification to neighbours of a proposed development, no community input, and no discussion. The decision would be made based solely on the exact definitions of then current Land Use Bylaw (LUB). Council debated this issue, and listened to several members of the community who presented their views and concerns regarding the process. The previously mentioned permit application was discussed, and it was shown that with the MPC retaining authority for approval, the outcome was the reverse of what it would have been had the development officer been empowered to make the decision.

Council continued the debate, and discussed the entire issue of the definition of secondary suites within the LUB. The terms “secondary suite” and “duplex” were discussed, as well as the restrictions placed on secondary suites in other jurisdictions, where the owner of the property must occupy one or the other of the suites. It was determined that a review of the LUB and in particular a review of secondary suites was required, and the proposed bylaw was defeated unanimously, leaving the decision authority with the MPC,

and confirming the notion that the community was an important part of the decision making process. It was clear that council felt that secondary suites needed to be re-visited, and that it was a serious issue.

The developer/owner of the 30 foot lot appealed the decision to the Development Appeal Board (DAB).

At the Development Appeal Board meeting, residents and the developer presented their arguments.

The developer pointed out that many of the property owners who were against the development did not reside in the area. It was then pointed out by a resident that the developer did not reside in Sylvan Lake either, and had no intention of residing in either of the two rental family units to be built on the narrow lot. The developer then stated that the cottage area was not special and had no particular protection against this sort of development. I personally believe that the area does have protection, based on the definition of R5 zoning, that being low density.

The appeal was granted, and the decision of the MPC was overturned.

Mr. Mayor, you were a member of the three person appeal board.

Another member of the Development Appeal Board is the husband of the Town of Sylvan Lake’s chief administrative officer, an outrageous conflict of interest.

I am deeply concerned and disappointed that in that position, you have apparently agreed that the cottage area is not different, is not special, and does not require protection. You are aware of the concerns of not only the residents of the area, but also of the council regarding the entire issue of secondary suites, yet you have agreed to go against the wishes of the community, disregarded the concerns of your own council, and ignore the clear unanimous decision of the MPC. I, and the residents of the cottage area, fear for the future of our neighbourhood, when the mayor of our town seems oblivious to the nature and character of the oldest and most delicate area within our community.

The cottage area of Sylvan Lake is where Sylvan Lake began many years ago. It is a heritage area, that historically remains as an area of small, single family dwellings, some occupied year round, others only during the summer months.

The cottage area is unique in the province of Alberta. This area is undergoing change, as many of the older units are being replaced with new homes, but in the vast majority of cases, these new homes are designed to fit into the cottage area environment.

The cottage area, due to its character, also maintains higher property values, and thereby tends to have higher municipal tax bills for the owners. A change to that character, by filling the neighbourhood with duplex-like developments will clearly lower values of surrounding properties, and lower tax revenues for the town. The infrastructure of the cottage area is also a feature of its character. The streets are narrow, and parking is at a premium. This is not a complaint, as it is my belief that residents want it to remain that way.

High density housing in such an area is entirely inappropriate.

Mr. Mayor, I speak on behalf of the property owners of the cottage area when I say we are distressed by this decision, taken in full knowledge that in the near future there will be a complete review of the current LUB, and specifically the definition and suitability of secondary suites. It is in effect sneaking in under the wire, and creating a dreadful precedent and loophole.

I write this letter with great sadness, but in hopes the residents of the entire community of Sylvan Lake can clearly see and understand the situation. Secondary suites are not an issue for the cottage area alone, as there are many residents in Hewlett Park and Ryders Ridge who are facing similar issues. In fact, with this new loophole created by our mayor, every residential area is now at risk of high density development with no reasonable avenue of appeal.

I ask that all residents of Sylvan Lake make their views on this extremely important topic known to our council and Mayor McIntyre.

SUCCESS FROM GODS POINT OF VIEW Submitted by David Berg Pastor of Benalto Baptist Church

My first attempt at preaching was, well let’s just say I don’t think anyone listening to it would have imagined me becoming a preacher. Honestly I’m not sure anyone even knew what I was talking about let alone what I was trying to say on the topic.

I have always considered that effort an epic fail. But I’ve reevaluated that moment as I’ve considered what God views as success.

I was in grade 12 and our youth group was leading the Sunday evening service. I’m not sure what he was thinking but our Youth Pastor tagged me to preach. Maybe it was because I was a pastor’s kid and he thought it would be in my genes or something. That fact contributed to a fatal mistake I made.

Since dad preached from point form notes that must be the way to do it.

I got up in front of the church and looked at my notes and none of it made any sense to me. Apparently it didn’t make much sense to anyone else either because there were a lot of confused frowns from people desperately trying to follow what I was trying to say. Those poor dear people, I could see them straining for me to succeed. I think they worked as hard

at making some sense of my tangled mess as I was at trying to untangle it. I didn’t even really end the sermon; it was more like I just quit talking and sat down.

Stu Krogman, from CrossRoads Church has a beautiful understanding of success from God’s perspective. After a particular ministry that had felt somewhat less than stellar he asked God whether it had been successful and God responded with two questions: Were you willing? Were you submissive?

As I reflect on my mangled message in light of those questions I come to a different assessment of the result. Was I willing to serve God in the capacity he directed me to? Certainly.

Was I submitted to his Spirit leading and guiding? To the best of my understanding at the time, yes. Therefore despite the apparent results, I am at peace with what God accomplished through that experience. Of course preparation and hard work are important, but I see those encompassed within these two questions.

So has your day been successful? Have you been willing to serve God in all you do? Have you been submissive to him in the doing? Then hear your Father say “Well done my child. I’m proud of you.”

Assistance requested to curb thefts from unlocked vehicles

BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in preventing a crime trend which involves perpetrators rummaging through unlocked vehicles under cover of darkness.

Cash, cigarettes, GPS units and other valuables have been stolen.

“Unfortunately there continues to be an abundance of unlocked vehicles in Sylvan Lake,” said Cpl. James Allemekinders.

Some of those caught are underage youths. The parents of these people are often unaware what their kids are up to at night.

“We encourage all parents to know where their children are and confirm with other parents or adults that their children are where they are supposed to be,” he said.

Recently a concerned citizen set up a video camera and captured three youths attempting to get into a vehicle. The culprits were unsuccessful as the vehicle was locked. The youths captured in the photo are identifiable and can expect a visit from RCMP in the near f utu re, s ai d Allemekinders.

He encouraged parents to ensure they know what their children are

at Canadian Age Group Championships in Winnipeg July 23-27.

Elizabeth Moore, 13, took part in six events, with her best result coming in a fourth-place national finish in the 100m breaststroke.

She was the sole representative of Sylvan Lake Nauticals, yet earned a tied position of 103rd for team points. That was out of 137 teams competing.

While she admits some of her races didn’t go as she’d planned, she relished the opportunity to compete against some of the country’s top swimmers.

“It’s the biggest (competition) I’ve ever been to,” she said, adding that compared to other competitions she’s participated in, “there were a lot more competitors, and people from all over the country were there. They were pretty fast.”

Swimmers from Ireland and France also took part in races throughout the competition. Though Moore finished 6th altogether in the 100m breaststroke, she was fourth among the Canadian swimmers.

In preparing for the event, she maintained a well-rounded diet and trained five times a week between Monday and Friday.

She was joined on the trip by coaches Trevor and Sharon Burns of Sylvan Lake Nauticals, whom she’s trained with since she began swimming seven years ago.

Moore competed at the same competition in Montreal last year.

Although she’s enjoyed plenty of competitive success in her young career, she plans to continue her participation in the sport for only the right reasons.

“At the moment, I just want to have fun and keep swimming,” she said.

She’ll now enjoy a summer break before returning to the pool in early fall.

Moore’s complete results from the Age Group Championships are as follows: 50m breaststroke - 15th; 50m backstroke - 10th (personal best time; club record; senior provincial ‘A’ qualifying time); 100m breaststroke - fourth in Canada; 200m breaststroke - 12th in Canada; 50m butterfly - 17th (ranked 21st going into the race); 200m individual medley - sixth in Canada (ranked 25th going into the race; personal best time; club record; senior provincial ‘A’ qualifying time; 14-year-old national qualifying time; 15-and-under western qualifying time.

It is with deep sorrow that the family of Lillian Holland announces her passing on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 in Red Deer Regional Hospital, surrounded by family and loved ones.

Lillian was born on December 29, 1934, the eldest of four children to Axel and Sigrid Axelsen of Calgary. There she took her schooling and was active in church and taught Sunday School. After completing high school she spent one year in California working in the office of Child Evangelism Fellowship. Upon her return she was married to Ivan Holland in 1956 and they enjoyed a wonderful marriage of 57 years. From this union came four daughters: Susan, Donna, Jill and Terri. After living in Red Deer for 5 years, Ivan and Lillian moved to the farm in the Centreville district where she lived until her passing.

Lillian was predeceased by her parents and daughter Donna.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband Ivan, daughters Susan (John Smith) of California, Jill (Ron Shenk) of Pennsylvania and Terri (Chris Zimmerman) of Centreville; grandchildren Lucy, Nina and Nicole Smith; Jesse (Laura), Cory, Ellie and Emma Shenk; Anna, Dallas, Naaman, Anthony, Reyna, Elias and Noah Zimmerman. She is also remembered by her siblings Ingrid Sylvester, Doreen (Allen) Holland and Gerald (Sarah) Axelsen as well as numerous nephews and nieces and close family and friends.

A private family burial was held at 11:00 am at the Lakeview Cemetery in Sylvan Lake followed by a memorial service at 1:00 pm at the Benalto Baptist Church on Saturday, August 2, 2014.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in Lillian’s honour may do so to the Benalto Baptist Church Benevolent Fund.

Arrangements entrusted to Sylvan Lake Funeral Home.

Competition tough but Lynn made cut, finished 41st in national tourney

BY REGAN LYNN SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Niagara Falls, Ontario offers visitors a myriad of activities, from the obvious scenic views or tours of the falls, to shopping, to visits to the casino, but those were low on the priority list of junior golfer Jaxon Lynn (16), a member at Sylvan Lake Golf and Country Club, who was participating in the 2014 Canadian National Junior Boys Championship (July 28 - August 1).

For the tournament, Lynn and 156 other boys (ages 14 to 18) played at the Legends on the Niagara: Battlefield course, about 10 minutes outside of Niagara Falls.

The Battlefield course featured a nice mix of wide links-style holes with generous undulating fairways and greens that are bound by dense forest and brush. Fairways that sweep across a gently contoured countryside give the golfers some

breathing room both off the tee and as they approach the green, but there are many bunkers and water hazards throughout the course, which come into play. It played quite long for the players (7,300 yards).

Although the week was forecasted to be hot and muggy, the tournament had its share of inclement weather. Early practice rounds were hindered by wind and rain. Instead of playing 36 practice holes, Jaxon played only 27 holes to prepare for the tournament, his first of this magnitude.

An early tee time for round one greeted the players with overcast conditions, but the sun eventually decided to make its presence felt as the round progressed. A steady round left Jaxon with a score of 72, even par for the day. He was tied for 17th after round one, with the leader shooting an incredible score of eight under.

Mother Nature reared her ugly head for round two. Conditions were wet and play was suspended

WE READ THE “Because it’s an ambassador for our community, like us!”

early on because of lightning and rain. Competitors on the course were removed and had to wait about five hours before being allowed to go back on to the course. Then play lasted for approximately 15 minutes before it was eventually halted for the day. Jaxon had an afternoon tee time and waited most of the day for updates about when his round would begin.

Ultimately, he started his second round a day late, after other players on the course finished their second round. Weather for round 2 was very breezy, but sunny. The course was very hectic after round two was finished, as golfers waited around to see who made the cut. Jaxon shot an 80.

He was simultaneously disappointed with his score, but was relieved to make the cut and continue his tournament.

Round three started just after 5 p.m. for his threesome and they completed 15 holes before the golfers were called in due to visibility issues.

Wind picked up the pace in the early Jaxon Lynn recently golfed in Niagara Falls at the Canadian National Junior Boys Championship. SUBMITTED

evening, but the sun was out and the sky was clear. The next morning, the round (3 holes) was completed after an early start. Jaxon shot a par 72.

Even though he was “throwing darts” at the pins, he was unable to capitalize by missing some relatively manageable putts.

There was a relatively quick turnaround after round three was completed, so the tournament could continue to be on pace. Going into the final round, the weather was the best it had been all week. Sunny, but muggy, it felt like plus 37. Finishing with a score of 74, Jaxon tied for 41st.

Overall, the visit to Niagara Falls was a positive occurrence. Coping with weather issues, delays, a tough golf course, and quality competition added to the experiences gained by Jaxon at the tournament. Hopefully, he will have the opportunity to participate in this event next year and he will be able to utilize what he has learned moving forward. He also appreciated encouragement and support from family and friends.

place.

The club would like to thank all of their instructors and clinicians who have helped them improve throughout the year.

The club will continue to fundraise throughout the summer.

Achievement day was a great success as

members celebrated the year’s accomplishments.
