Construction of new fire hall to be completed next year JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The construction of a new fire hall in Sylvan Lake is currently ongoing, and is scheduled to be completed by February of 2016.

Piles have been completed and grade beams have been poured and are currently covered with tarps, with construction having begun in November.

The fire hall, to be located at the corner

of Beacon Hill Dr. and 50 St., was originally scheduled to be completed this summer.

Due to no compliant bids that fit within the project’s budget, however, a construction contract was not awarded.

The overall project budget is $6.27 million. The tender was reissued and received bids that fit within the project’s budget, and a contract was awarded in October.

Construction is now on schedule, according to Dave Brand, public works director for the Town of Sylvan Lake.

The Sylvan Lake Fire Department currently has a functioning fire hall on 47 Ave., but as the population of Sylvan Lake rises, so does the need for a larger fire hall, said Brand.

“As the department grows, we need more space for department training and the actual equipment.”

The hall’s new location will make all protective services buildings adjacent to each other.

“It’s ideal to have them located in one

location,” Brand said. “That way you don’t have to worry about your members wondering which station to respond to.”

The new fire hall will be larger and able to accommodate different types of trucks, such as a new aerial truck, which is scheduled to arrive at the same time as the fire hall’s completion.

“You don’t want to buy a fancy new truck and park it outside,” Brand said. “You want to have the facility available for those sorts of things.”

Good Samaritan has vehicle stolen after trying to help man in ditch STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A Good Samaritan became the victim of crime after she stopped to help a man whose truck hit the ditch near Kuusamo last week.

Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to the call at 12:43 p.m. on Feb. 10, when a woman had her vehicle stolen by the same man she stopped to help. After stealing the vehicle, the man then tried running her over before fleeing in the vehicle, which still had the woman’s family dog inside.

Police say the man then drove to Sylvan Lake, where he was involved in a singlevehicle collision before fleeing on foot and entering a Lakeway Boulevard residence. He eventually surrendered, and was arrested without further incident.

One of the last examples of widespread institutionalized discrimination Getting treatment for a mental illness is often a lot more difficult than simply calling up your doctor and making an appointment. For many people it involves a painful process of accepting that they have a problem and being willing to expose themselves.

Many people who come to be treated for the first time say they have put off treatment for several years because of fear. They fear the reactions of their co-workers, friends or family — of being seen as weak, strange or overly dramatic. If it's not the reactions of others they fear, it is often the shame of feeling like a dependant on therapy or medication that keeps them away.

Sometimes, the fear of people's reactions is simply perception, but the reality is that mental illness is stigmatized in our society. In fact, mental illness is one of the last examples of widespread institutionalized discrimination just as race and gender have been in the past.

Mental illness is recognized to affect a large portion of the population from all walks of life. The World Health Organization tells us it is the second leading cause of disability and premature death worldwide — outstripping cancer and second only to heart disease. Still, in both Canada and the United States, insurance companies

Dr. Paul Latimer Troy Media

can openly and legally impose treatment limitations for mental illness that differ significantly from limits on all other medical conditions.

Because of real and perceived stigma, mental illnesses are severely undertreated. Of the people diagnosed with depression, only about 10 per cent seek treatment. Depression affects approximately 20 per cent of the population at some point during their life and this under treatment leaves a significant number of people to deal with it on their own.

Unfortunately, those who are left untreated are doing themselves and society a disservice. Not only do untreated mental illnesses result in higher use of nonpsychiatric medical services, they cost businesses billions of dollars every year in lost wages, lower productivity and increased use of sick and disability leave.

Untreated depression can mean a person is dealing with more than the characteristic feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and worthlessness. It is also bad for an individual's overall physical health.

Research shows that once you have had a heart attack, your chance of dying from cardiovascular disease is four

to six times greater if you also suffer from depression.

Depression is an independent risk factor for heart disease just like high cholesterol, obesity or smoking.

Other disorders that worsen with depression include cancer, diabetes, epilepsy and osteoporosis. Diabetics are twice as likely to be depressed as others and those who are depressed are twice as likely

to suffer complications of diabetes such as heart disease, nerve damage and blindness. Depression more than triples the likelihood of dying in the 10 years after a stroke. These complications can be avoided by being treated with antidepressants.

It is important to realize that while our societal stereotypes are discriminatory, mental illness is not. It can

affect anyone of any walk of life, background, ethnic group, educational status or religion.

If you think you suffer from a mental illness, resist succumbing to stigma and ask your doctor about getting treatment.

Dr. Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials (www.troymedia.com)

Bill C-525 a bad piece of legislation Dear Editor, Albertans have long had a complicated relationship with unions. Historically, we have the lowest union membership rates at 23.5 per cent compared to the Canadian average of 31.5 per cent (Employment and Social Development Canada). Public opinion about unions is equally complicated in our province.

It is no wonder then, that Prime Minister Stephen Harper gifted Conservative MP Blaine Calkins with the private member's Bill C-525.

Private members bills are a way a backbencher can enact a law that is close to their hearts, or alternatively a way the caucus can pass a bill without identifying themselves too closely with it, if deemed too controversial. Bill C-525 is one such controversial bill.

In the past, when a group of workers tried to form a union, they needed 50 per cent plus one of votes cast as a “yes.” We call that democracy.

No matter what your opinion of unions, they are run by democratic principles. Under the new Bill

C-525 however, workers now need 50 per cent of all eligible voters in order to form a union, which means ballots not cast are automatically considered a “no.” This is NOT democracy. If the same rules applied to the last election, Stephen Harper would not be our Prime Minister, nor world Blaine Calkins be a Member of Parliament. Bill C-525 also makes it easier to decertify a union requiring only 40 per cent plus one to get rid of an existing union, a further insult to injured democracy.

Why then, you might ask, was this private member’s bill pushed through Parliament during a Conservative majority? Why was this bill not just included in one of the massive omnibus bills the Conservative government is so fond of? And why was MP Blaine Calkins “chosen” to be the author of the bill? Is he really that passionate about union busting, or is this part of something bigger?

The answer is simply that Bill C-525 is a bad piece of legislation, not only in its content, but

also in its drafting. The bill itself was criticized in the Senate for its numerous flaws, but passed anyway by the Conservative majority chamber (Huffington Post - Senators Find Mistakes in Tory Bill C-525, Pass It Anyway). More importantly though, Bill C-525 is a bad piece of legislation because it is intentionally anti-democratic and an affront to the principles on which Canada is founded. The Stephen Harper government thought Central Albertans wouldn't care about this assault on our democracy. The 2015 general election will be an opportunity for us to tell the Conservatives that we do care, about our country and our democratic rights. The question is whether Blaine Calkins, the MP running in Red Deer-Lacombe and author of the flawed bill, will resign if he, once again, doesn't receive 50 per cent of eligible voters.

Interagency offers networking opportunities to local community groups “Within our meeting, we usually have one organization who asks for extra time,” McDonald said.

“This organization gets more time to share the benefits of their program and events. Maybe they want to showcase something new about their programs.”

“This organization gets more time to share the benefits of their program and events. Maybe they want to showcase something new about their programs.” then followed by discussion. Afterwards, each organization’s representative shares the information he or she has brought. And lastly, McDonald asks if there is anything else that somebody would like to bring up. The meeting is then closed.

Organizations benefit from having the opportunity to connect and build relationships with each other. They can collaborate, discuss ideas and start new initiatives, using meetings as a launching point.

“Without this Interagency I don’t think

people would connect with each other as quickly,” McDonald said. “The networking information wouldn’t get out there as quickly. The Interagency provides a platform for the collaboration to be possible between organizations.”

McDonald takes all the brochures, pamphlets and calendars given out, scans them to PDF format and emails them to 60 organizations from Sylvan Lake and Red Deer, such as Victim Services and the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter.

McDonald said meetings help reveal strengths in community services, and also assist with assessing social needs; organiza-

tions hear what is happening and find ways to be supportive.

“We hear great feedback,” McDonald said. “We do check-ins every once in a while and we hear that organizations are benefiting.”

McDonald said some-

times certain organizations can’t attend. That’s when she acts as a representative and presents the information she has received from that organization.

“It’s about community building and we are giving people the venue to share with each other,” she said.

Monthly Interagency group meetings in Sylvan Lake are well attended by local organizations who collaborate and share new information on current activities.

The Sylvan Lake Interagency supports various organizations by providing collaboration time on the second Tuesday of every month, with 20 to 30 individuals gathering in the meeting room of the Community Centre.

Meetings begin at noon and end at 1:30 p.m.

Town of Sylvan Lake community development co-ordinator Alissa McDonald said the community is welcome to attend meetings, which provide groups and organizations an opportunity to share information and gain first-hand knowledge of new programs.

“It’s hard to get your information out there,” McD onald s aid. “(Organizations) can share

what’s going on with each other for residents in Sylvan Lake.”

Meetings begin with McDonald welcoming everyone by offering them lunch. While people eat, the key speaker presents information on his or her program or event, which is

Sylvan Lake urgent care ‘message received’: Prentice STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Premier Jim Prentice said he’s heard loud and clear Sylvan Lake’s need for enhanced health care access.

Mayor Sean McIntyre brought up the issue with Prentice during his brief visit to Sylvan Lake with MLA Kerry Towle last Wednesday.

Prentice said while he wasn’t prepared to provide any insight into the fate of the town’s pursuit of enhanced health care, the issue remains very much on his radar.

“Kerry has talked to me about that, and she made it very clear coming here that that was the first and most important message I would hear, and it’s message received,” he said. “I’m not in a position today to respond, but I hear what you’re saying.”

McIntyre told Prentice urgent care was an “uncontested” top priority for the town, and urged his support.

“We understand you’re not here to make any spending announcements ... but what we’re hoping for and asking for is your support for that project to make sure that our 13,000-plus residents and over 20,000 regional residents have access to quality health care,” said McIntyre.

Prentice and Towle spent about an hour speaking with a small crowd of constituents at Pier 7 before heading to Innisfail for a similar meeting.

Prentice said the province’s current “serious financial circumstance” means increased government

spending won’t happen any time soon. But he assured that doesn’t mean necessary capital facilities will be ignored.

“We need to get health care costs under control in the province, but we also know that there are communities that are not being well served that have growing populations, and we’re focused on how we deal with those communities and what

their needs are,” he said.

“Kerry’s been an outspoken advocate in terms of what needs to be done in Sylvan Lake, and I’m and aware of it and we’re looking at it.”

Prentice also used made use of his time in Sylvan Lake to endorse Towle in her bid for the PC nomination in Innisfail-Sylvan Lake.

“You have one of the best, most effective MLAs in the province, who has one of the

brightest futures of anybody in the legislative assembly,” he said. “She has a good heart and she’s passionate about people ... and that’s really important right now, because we’re going through what’s going to be a rough patch for us as a province, and what I need as Premier at my side are people that care about their communities and who are passionate about public services ... and Kerry is exact-

ly that kind of a person.

“She’s in politics for the right reason.”

Towle said she’s enjoying working alongside Prentice, and is excited to be part of his team “going forward into a challenging time.”

“We needed strong, measured leadership, and I think that we are seeing that in Premier Jim Prentice,” she said. “I am happy and excited to be on a team that is going

to bring stability to Alberta.”

On Monday, Sylvan Lake town council along with members of the town’s Urgent Care Committee met with provincial Health Minister Stephen Mandel in Sylvan Lake. McIntyre described that meeting as “very encouraging,” and acknowledged Mandel’s recognition of the town’s need for enhanced health care access.

Lakers selected to play for elite Red Deer hockey team JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Three players from the Sylvan Lake Lakers minor hockey program have been selected to play for 2006 Red Deer Rustlers AAA hockey team this year.

The three eight-year-old boys are Rylan Olsen, Bode

Rylan Olson

Dakin and Logan Yanick.

Dynamite minor hockey coach Shawn Olson said he’s proud of the players’ respective accomplishments, as the boys are among just 13 selected from a pool of 40 to 50.

“It’s a more elite level of hockey and not everybody can go play it,” Olson said.

Bodie Dakin

“You have to try out for it.”

The players attended three one-hour tryout sessions, where coaches narrowed their selections down after each session.

Being able to score goals isn’t the only skill coaches look for when selecting players, Olson said; they are looking for all kinds of

Logan Yanick skills, such as teamwork and listening skills.

“If you’re not a team guy and they know that, they won’t pick you,” Olson said.

“Anyone can go play winter hockey for fun. This is fun too, but it’s more competitive. It turns you into a very good hockey player. It’s a league-level coaching.

These guys are learning from the best coaches around.”

“It’s a more elite level of hockey and not everybody can go play it.”

Playing on the team will give the players two months of extra playing time, as the hockey season typically ends in March.

In April and May, they will play in five tournaments, and games every weekend.

The players will play their tournaments with other elite level teams from around the province, including places such as Jasper, Kelowna, Edmonton and Calgary.

Olson said the point is not about winning, but rather, development and allowing players the chance to meet new friends from different places — the team consists of players from Red Deer, Lacombe, Bentley, Innisfail and Caroline.

“You get to meet other kids, parents get to meet other families and you have lifelong friends,” Olson said.

“That’s what it’s more about.”

Polar Bear Dip brings in more than $23,000 for local charities STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A total of 34 brave dippers raised a staggering $24,102.60 for local charities and community groups at this year’s Polar Bear Dip, which made its return to the lake after weather forced its relocation last year.

It was just one of many events that took place as part of the town’s annual WinterFest festivities, which were complemented this year by much more cooperative conditions. “We were lucky to have a beautiful, sunny day on Saturday, which brought hundreds of locals and visitors down to the lake to enjoy all of the events that were planned,� said Town of Sylvan Lake special events and program co-ordinator Michelle Morrison. “Everyone seemed to be

having a great time spectating and participating.�

This year’s highest individual total was raised by Jas Payne, who collected $3,840 in support of the Sylvan Lake Spray Park.

Following closely behind him was Wendy-Jo Sakofsky, who raised $3834.25, also for the Spray Park.

Those funds, and others raised by the Spray Park’s other team members, will greatly help the Spray Park fundraising committee’s cause, according to committee chair Sheryl McDougall.

And she hopes those fundraising efforts will help to encourage others like them. “We’ve been slowly plugging away at it, and people are really interested and excited about what’s coming to town,� she said. “We’ve had such great community

support.�

A location for the planned park was set to be discussed at town council’s next regular meeting on Feb. 23. McDougall said sponsorship packages would be rolled out around the same time.

Ronald McDonald House Central Alberta, the Sylvan Lake Municipal Library and the Sylvan Lake and Area Serenity Pet Shelter Society were among the other beneficiaries of funds raised through Saturday’s Polar Bear Dip. And the weekend saw plenty of other fun activities taking place throughout town too. Family-oriented games, a movie showing at the library and an ice cream eating contest in support of Sylvan Lake youngster Mike Arthur, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia, were among them.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY HEARING FOR INTERMUNICIPAL DISPUTE ALBERTA MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS

Appeal of Town of Sylvan Lake Municipal Development Plan, Bylaw 1653/2014 filed

by Lacombe County On January 6, 2015, the Municipal Government Board (MGB) received an appeal from Lacombe County about the adoption of the Town of Sylvan Lake Municipal Development Plan, Bylaw 1653/2014 (the Plan). Under section 690(4) of the Municipal Government Act, because the Plan has been appealed, it is suspended.

Brief Description of Appeal Lacombe County is of the opinion that the Plan is detrimental because it does not contain satisfactory and specific provisions addressing setback distances, municipal reserve dedication, environmental reserve dedication, environmental reserve easements and the planning of native vegetation. In 2012, both municipalities agreed that a 30 metre setback distance from Sylvan Lake would be added to both municipalities’ statutory documents and land use bylaws.

In accordance with the Municipal Government Act, the MGB must conduct a hearing on this matter.

To start this process, a preliminary hearing will be conducted as follows: DATE: February 23, 2015 TIME: 10:00 AM LOCATION: Room 111, Main Floor Red Deer Provincial Building Red Deer, Alberta This hearing is intended as a preliminary hearing to determine if mediation has been attempted, report on the progress of mediation and anticipated timelines for the mediation, and establish a schedule of dates for evidence exchanges and set a merit hearing. The merits of the intermunicipal dispute will not be argued at this preliminary hearing.

15023DT0 If you wish detailed information about the intermunicipal dispute contact the parties listed below. Copies of the documents for this appeal should be available for viewing at the Lacombe County and the Town of Sylvan Lake municipal office during regular business hours and may be available on the municipal websites.

My So Called Art

By Kevin Haugan, Alliance Community Church I have an odd collection of art, keepsakes and pictures in my office. Some of it is a reminder of what I do (Pastor). Some of it is mementos of trips that I have taken. There is even a bit of Saskatchewan Roughrider memorabilia… probably worth dozens of dollars on the open market.

A lot of the stuff in my office is about family.

In particular, my bulletin board is loaded with snapshots of my grandchildren.

There is one picture though that may seem curious to those who take the time to look.

It is a picture of my two sons, taken 28 years ago. It is a studio portrait, my oldest son (then 5 years old) in a trendy yellow sweater with his little bald brother (then around a year old) in a blue jumper with a train on the front of it.

It isn’t the most amazing picture ever taken, nor does it look like either of them now.

So why is it on the wall of my office?

I keep it there to remind me that God gave me two little boys as a gift all those years ago. It reminds me that I am never finished being a father and that I get the privilege of following in a noble heritage. Like my parents and my grandparents before them I have the joy of praying for my sons and now their spouses and their children. This privilege didn’t stop when the boys moved out or got married…it continues until the day that I die.

So when you come into my office, have a look at the portrait of my two little boys. And be reminded that the greatest thing you can do for your children and your children’s children is to simply pray for them!

Two fines were subsequently laid for driving a motor vehicle while unauthorized and driving a motor vehicle with an expired plate. The vehicle was towed at the scene.

February 11 3:32 p.m. – RCMP seized a vehicle on Sylvan Drive after it was determined that the plate on the car belonged to another vehicle.

Hockeyville Facebook management a ‘moving’ experience for Womacks JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake was full of pride after being named Kraft Hockeyville last year, and the Sylvan Lake Kraft Hockeyville Facebook page served as the central location where people connected, read stories, watched videos and discussed everything Kraft Hockeyville.

Behind the page was logo, brand and web graphic designer Dianne Womacks, who also works as a freelancer and teaches Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator at Red Deer College.

“I felt it was my responsibility to portray Sylvan and Lakers for who they truly are,”

Womacks said. “That’s bottom line — beautiful community and beautiful people.”

Womacks said she didn’t plan on managing the page, but offered her branding insight into the page’s design. She didn’t expect the page would receive the mass attention it did, but committed herself to responding to questions people posted. That, she feels, helped inspire the dialogue that kept the Kraft Hockeyville conversation going.

“We didn’t have time to think how big it was going to be,” she said. “It was a day-byday, moment-by-moment thing. If somebody asked a question or responded in a certain way, that would bring on the next post.”

Womacks described managing the page

as “a full-time job.” She spent 14 to 17 hours a day managing it, and around 21 hours on voting weekends.

But that didn’t faze her. And things were happening so fast that within its first 24 hours, the page already had about three thousand likes.

“It was amazing,” Womacks said. “Every morning I would read all the new stories that were uploaded: very heart-felt, passionate stories about why people loved the arena and Sylvan Lake. The number of stories people wrote that were new to Sylvan Lake and were so impressed with the activities and the community spirit — that was truly exciting for me.”

She described the time during the contests nomination round as “moving.”

“Reading every day and listening to people tell their own little stories on the page was amazing,” she said. “They wanted to

share, and to me, that was beautiful. The page was a success because of that.”

The Facebook page is still very much active — as is Womacks’ involvement with it — and Womacks now uses it to relay current community information. Recent postings offer information on Michael Arthur, the captain of the Atom AA Sylvan Lake Lakers hockey team who was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and Steven Dale, who recently received a pair of size 15 skates from NHL linesman Mike Cvik.

Womacks said through managing the page she learned how beautiful people are and that they have a love for Sylvan Lake, for Canada and for Canadians.

“People really do pull together,” she said.

“The world is a crazy place and we have to stay focused on the positives and the happy things in life, because there are a million things happening around us.”

Dianne Womacks poses with the Hockeyville trophy on Monday - one last time before its return to Toronto. Womacks managed the Sylvan Lake Hockeyville Facebook page throughout the town’s Hockeyville campaign, and continues to do so today.

Plenty of fond memories made on a frozen Sylvan Lake SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The pictures on this page were submitted by the Sylvan Lake and District Archives Society as part of a series celebrating the society’s 20 years of existence this year.

Top picture: Since 2003, February has been the month for the Speed Skating Marathon.

Participants, often battling severe weather conditions and cracks in the ice, complete in 50-to-200-kilometre races over three days. Competitors come from all over Canada, the U.S. and the Netherlands,

where speed skating on canals originated.

Middle: Each winter, Sylvan Lake residents hope for a quick freeze on the lake so they can experience the thrill of skating on clear ice, seeing all manner of weird and wonderful things underneath! This beautiful lake scene shows Steven and Rita Johnson skating near the Summer Village of Birchcliff around 1984-85.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TOWN OF SYLVAN LAKE ANNEXATION ALBERTA MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS

Take notice that the Alberta Municipal Government Board (MGB) will conduct a public hearing respecting an application by the Town of Sylvan Lake (Town) to annex territory from Red Deer County (County).

The hearing is scheduled to commence as follows: DATE: Thursday, March 12, 2015 TIME: 10:00 AM LOCATION: Best Western Sylvan Lake 5027 Lakeshore Drive Sylvan Lake, Alberta The proposed annexation area involves approximately 1,675 acres (677 hectares) of land located adjacent to the existing boundary of the Town. The main purpose of the proposed annexation is to provide the Town with land for industrial and commercial uses.

The Town and the County have reached an agreement on the proposed annexation. The terms of the annexation agreement relate to municipal taxation, as well as compensation. Details of the annexation application can be viewed at the Town’s municipal office during normal business hours. A map showing the annexation area is located on the Town’s website at: www.sylvanlake.ca.

Although the two municipalities have been able to negotiate an agreement, the application filed by the Town contains objections to the proposed annexation. Therefore, the MGB is required to conduct a public hearing to receive information, evidence and argument regarding this matter.

If you plan to attend the hearing and/or wish to make an oral submission to the MGB, please advise the MGB office by 12:00 noon on Monday, March 2, 2015. If you intend to make a written submission to the MGB, please forward the submission to the MGB by 12:00 noon on Monday, March 2, 2015. Submissions should be restricted to issues surrounding the location of the proposed boundaries and/or the conditions of annexation. Copies of these submissions will be forwarded to the Town and County prior to the hearing and may be made available to the public.

In conjunction with this advertisement, the MGB has notified all known landowners and interested parties.

For more information about the annexation application, please contact: Ken Kalirai Director of Planning and Development Town of Sylvan Lake 5012 – 48 Avenue Sylvan Lake, AB T4S 1G6 Phone: 403-887-2141 Fax: 403-948-3660 E-Mail: kkalirai@sylvanlake.ca

Value Drug Mart changing hands to become second Shoppers Drug Mart in Sylvan Lake STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

It will be a case of one door closing and another one opening when Value Drug Mart changes hands to become the town’s second Shoppers Drug Mart location on March 10.

The existing Shoppers Drug Mart will continue to operate at its Ryders Square location. Having a second location at the Value Drug Mart’s current downtown location will allow greater flexibility for customers, said Todd Prochnau, Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist and owner.

“You typically don’t see two Shoppers in a community that has less than 15,000 people, but Sylvan Lake is unique, and it makes sense for us to have both locations,” he said. “They’re quite different, and we’re excited about going into downtown.”

Prochnau said meetings with Value Drug Mart staff were to begin Friday (Feb. 20) in fulfilling Shoppers Drug Mart’s commitment to offering employment to every one of Value Drug Mart’s current staff.

Prochnau is aiming for the smoothest transition possible, and emphasizes that the Value Drug Mart location will not be closing, as some have feared.

“We’re not rolling it into our other store or anything like that — they’re both going to operate separately,” he said. “People that are currently patients of that pharmacy can continue to see that pharmacy. It’s going to be the same pharmacists, it’s simply going to be a new company name.

“We want people to know that they don’t have to worry about where they’re going to get their prescriptions or anything, because it’s exactly the same spot.”

Prochnau said not all changes to the store will happen at once, and assured it will begin to look more like a Shoppers Drug Mart once new fixtures are installed and products brought in.

Like the Shoppers Drug Mart in Ryders Square, the new location will offer a selection of food products.

Truck fire

Sylvan Lake firefighters work to douse the smouldering remains of a truck damaged by fire on Industrial Drive Friday morning. The cause of the fire was still being investigated at press time.

STUART FULLARTON

“It’s going to be similar to what we’ve got at our other location,” said Prochnau. “It’s not going to be exactly the same, but I think it will help serve that side of town a little bit with that.”

Nauticals club records fall at Red Deer swim meet SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Tournament - Mataya Rideout of the Sylvan Lake 14U Wave volleyball team plays the ball during an exhibition tournament in Ponoka on Family Day. The Wave won three of eight sets played.

KIM MATTHEWS

Members of the Sylvan Lake Nauticals swim club traveled to Red Deer Feb. 7 and 8 to participate in the annual Valentine Invitational Swim Meet. There were 33 swimmers taking part in the meet, and it was nice to see such a large number of swimmers at the event.

Matthew Gauthier, 15, led the way in rewriting the 15-year-old club record in the 100 individual medley, 200 butterfly and the 800 freestyle. He also placed first in all of his seven events. Isaac Bahler, 10, broke the 10-year-old club record in the 800 freestyle, also earning his 11-yearold MQT in the process. He also placed first once, and finished second in five other events.

Ann Duffy, 16, broke the 50 breast 16-year-old club record, finished second once and had three third-place finishes. Elizabeth Moore, 13, broke the 200 breast 13-yearold club record and placed first once.

Molly Cocks, 11, earned her MQT in the 400 freestyle, which allows her to attend Alberta North Trials at the end of February.

Other notable top-three finishers on the boys side were Tyler Gauthier, 15, with five second places and two third places; Noah Andrews, 13, with two first places, and three second places; Michael Carson with three third places; and Nicolas Moore, 13, with one third place.

For the girls, they were Zoe DeJonge, 11, with a third place and Capri Fraser, 9, with a third place as well.

The entire club did very well, finishing fourth out of eight clubs attending the meet. Six swimmers will be heading to Alberta Trials North in Edmonton on Feb. 27. The six are Matthew Gauthier, Tyler Gauthier, Noah Andrews, Michael Carson, Isaac Bahler and Molly Cocks.

Moore shows strongly at Edmonton swim meet SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Elizabeth Moore of the Sylvan Lake Nauticals swim club competed in the 2015 Speedo Alberta Open 1 in Edmonton Jan. 30 to Feb. 1.

The senior-level swim meet has no outlined age groups to compete in.

Participants’ ages ranged from 12 to 26.

Elizabeth had a very good swim meet and qualified to swim in all seven finals. Her best placing was fourth in the 50m breaststroke, in which she swam a personal best time of 35.31.

She placed seventh in both the 100m and 200m breaststroke events out of 50-plus swimmers. Over the weekend she also earned personal best times in the 200m butterfly and the 100m and 200m backstroke, breaking four club records.

Elizabeth’s next meet is Feb. 19 to 22, when she’ll take part in the 2015 Speedo Western Canadian Open once again in Edmonton.

She’ll compete in the 15-and-under age group.

Good luck, Elizabeth!

Rob Harlan, executive director of Solar Energy Society of Alberta, speaks of the benefits of renewable energy during a workshop held at the Eckville Community Centre Feb. 12.

Area farmers learn benefits of renewable energy in workshop JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A well-attended workshop provided area farmers with information on the benefits of using renewable solar and wind energy sources at the Eckville Community Centre last Thursday.

Rob Harlan, executive director of the Solar Energy Society of Alberta, discussed the benefits of solar panels, while Dr. Tim Weis, policy director for the Canadian Wind Energy Association, discussed the benefits of wind energy.

Different topics were discussed, such as the benefits of using solar panels and wind turbines, choosing a provider, generating and selling power, hiring a contractor and the benefits of buying locally as opposed to online.

Harlan said the event proved helpful for farmers to attend as they are used to making intelligent, long-range financial investments and have solar access with little shading on their land.

“I think most of the farmers are interested in reducing their bills and putting in a utility inter-tie solar system on their farm,” Harlan said. “It’s the electric technology they are interested in. They want to be small power producers and sell it to the grid.”

Harlan said the alternative energy sources are necessary in battling pollution, rising costs and the finite nature of fossil fuels, and global warming.

“The whole world is making a transition towards a less expensive renewable source of energy,” Harlan said. “Alberta has the opportunity to join that process, and the longrange benefits are significant.”

One of the most prominent benefits of using renewable energy is financial savings; after the initial investment has been made, there aren’t any ongoing fuel or maintenance costs.

“They last a long time,” Harlan said. “They could last 30 or 40 years, so the economics of it are really compelling. The original solar cell that was invented in the 1950s is still running.”

There may be a perception that renewable energy is more expensive, Weis said. But he assured that isn’t the case.

“The trick with renewables is all the money is up front,” he said. “That’s the trick and (also) where the downside is. It may make sense in the long run, but you still need all the money up front. You need two things: you need to get that money up front and that project has to work for a long time.”

The investment cost is scale dependent, but Weis said investments range anywhere from five or six thousand dollars to 20 or 30 thousand dollars. He said that some farmers in Lethbridge were buying half-million-dollar machines and selling the power into the grids.

“Right now the province is really heavy in oil and gas and fossil fuels,” Weis said. “That’s not only on the oil and gas side of things, it’s also on the electricity side. We’re not here to talk about a 100-per cent switch overnight, but how do you ultimately diversify the portfolio? I think this is why people are interested in this; the timing is good now. Costs have come down so much.”

The workshop was hosted jointly by Clearwater County, Lacombe County and Red Deer County.
