Innisfail-Sylvan Lake constituents have elected a Wildrose MLA once again, with results on Tuesday night showing Don MacIntyre winning by a comfortable margin.

MacIntyre amassed 7,827 votes, while runner-up Kerry Towle of the Progressive Conservatives received 5,138. Patricia Norman of the New Democratic Party and Danielle Klooster of the Alberta Party received 4,250 and 1,134 votes, respectively.

The vote marked both a change and a return to old ways for the riding, whose constituents in 2012 voted in Kerry Towle, then of the Wildrose Party.

“It’s really all about the people that supported us and what we’re trying to do — this is their victory,” said MacIntyre.

“They’re all volunteers ... and they dug way down deep to get this constituency association back on its feet after having our Wildrose MLA betray all of their votes and all of their sacrifices in the last election.

“They pulled themselves up, dusted themselves off and got right back in the fight, because the battle was worth fighting for.”

MacIntyre expressed appreciation not just for the three candidates he was up against in the riding, but for everyone who takes part in the democratic process.

“I’ve worked overseas in nations that do not have democracy, and I have friends in those nations who would die for democracy,” he said. “Our democratic system, as

flawed as it may be ... it is what we have, and it’s worth fighting for, and it’s working like we’ve seen, so all of the candidates really can hold their heads up.”

MacIntyre will head to the Legislature on May 12 to take part in an orientation for new members.

Having worked as an instructor at NAIT, he’s accustomed to commuting between Edmonton and his home in Sylvan Lake.

And while he acknowledges his new role will be “an adjustment” for him and his family, he assured they’re excited about what lies ahead of them.

“We’re looking forward to going to the Legislature and pushing for the change that Albertans need to see,” he said. “I am going to represent the majority well, I am going to be the voice of those who don’t have one, I am going to fight for those who fall through the cracks of a government that is insensitive to their needs, and I hope to make (constituents) proud.”

Towle felt there were a number of factors that led to another Wildrose victory in the riding, but pointed to the strong surge in the popularity of the New Democratic Party.

“The reality of it is is that the NDP won this riding,” she said. “They went from 700 votes (in 2012) to 4,000 votes — that is incredible.”

She noted it’s been an “an honour and a privilege” representing the riding as MLA, and assured that her voice will still be heard. continued on page 3

continued from page 2 “I’ve fought hard for our seniors, our vulnerable, our disabled and our youth, and my voice isn’t gone,” she said. “I’ll be holding our MLA to account the same way as I was held to account, and I think that’s important.”

because I wanted to change, and I think I made a difference,” she said. “I can be unemployed for the next four years and I’m fine, but I just want to make sure that the team who supported me knows that I adore them, that I love them and that they worked their butts off, and I wouldn’t even be here to say thank you without them.”

“It’s really all about the people that supported us and what we’re trying to do — this is their victory.”

Nanobiotechnology reshaping the future CARLO MONTEMAGNO TROY MEDIA

For more than two million years, mankind has shaped its world through the creative manipulation of a small number of fundamental machines. Throughout the agricultural and mechanical ages, from the printing press to the first airplanes, all were crafted from the six fundamental machines of physics — the screw, the wheel and axle, the incline plane, the lever, the pulley, and the wedge.

The electronic age was established through the addition of five fundamental machines to the modern toolbox: the diode, the transistor, the inductor, the resistor, and the capacitor.

It’s hard to believe, but our entire civilization is founded on the creative exploitation of the properties of just these 11 different building blocks.

Everything, from smartphones to electric cars to global positioning satellites,

is produced from a small number of distinct, functional pieces.

Yet our technological achievements pale in comparison to the complexity of the biological achievements found in nature.

Nature is so complex because it has tens of thousands of building blocks to work with, instead of the 11 used by man. Think of the extraordinary innovations humans could engineer if we had access to nature’s incredible selection of tools.

Because of the many strides taken while researching nature’s inner workings at the most minute levels, University of Alberta-based Ingenuity Lab is now on the cusp of seeing some major scientific advances in technologies that will help to both improve the quality of life for many people and create economic benefits.

By using nature’s building blocks to manipulate matter a single molecule at a time, Ingenuity Lab is making the impossible possible.

Nature has the ability to actively select, sort and transport molecules and to facilitate the exchange of information, thus enabling communication between them.

While there are challenges to working at this atomic level, Ingenuity Lab has been able to capitalize on these molecular interactions found in living systems to yield technologies that will help solve many of society’s challenges.

For example, recent advances have enabled us to use nature’s fundamental machinery in engineered systems to establish a whole new class of valuable materials by transforming CO2 emissions. In fact, this technology has the potential to transform CO2 waste into more than 40 different valuable drop-in chemicals. We’re confident this new technology is poised to become a scalable and sustainable weapon to address climate change, all while turning waste into something valuable.

In recent years, much has

been written about 3D printing technology, which is essentially a process that builds layers to create a threedimensional solid object from a digital model. 3D printing has the potential to significantly transform the global economy by advancing the value of information, reducing capital infrastructure and product and material transportation costs and accelerating the evolution of products.

3D printing — also known as additive manufacturing — relies on the use of specialty — let’s call them — ‘inks’ such as plastic, ceramics and metals that solidify into a defined structure. The most common 3D printers use a single material ’ink’, most often a plastic, to manufacture the final product.

This process allows us to make more complex products that are light and strong, and minimize the use of material, enabling the production of items as varied as antennas in plastic cell phone cases, to high-temperature-, highload-tolerant jet engine parts.

But advances at Ingenuity Lab are allowing for the transition of additive manufacturing from 3D to a fourdimensional, functional space (4D printing), which will allow devices to actively interact and transform their local environments in many of the same ways living systems do.

This next wave of technological progress will enable the creation of materials and devices that transform energy and collect, process and act on information, which will provide many new avenues to address global challenges with solutions that can improve both our quality of life and prosperity.

Up to now, we have built our man-made world from a few simple ‘machines but with nanobiotechnology we will be able to reshape nature.

Sylvan Lake’s Leaders of Tomorrow recognized at awards ceremony

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 5

Krista Carlson of FCSS Youth Services and Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre stand beside the Flipside Youth Centre’s Boyz Unlimited who won the group Leaders of Tomorrow Award 2015. Group members include Brendon Tays, Dane Senow, Deshon Lennard, Dominic Zander, Lane Neumeier, Brendan Wallace, Dalton Carbert and Damien Godfrey. Front and centre is the 6 to 11 age group winner Kenyon Simms and the 12 to 14 age group winner Jagger Fifield. Missing is Jessica Beckwith, SUBMITTED winner of the 16 to 18 age group.

JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Over 300 people gathered at the Community Centre to celebrate the Leaders of Tomorrow Awards last Friday evening. At the annual event, 165 youths were recognized for their commitment to helping the community.

Leaders of Tomorrow Awards were presented to three separate individuals in three different age categories — 6 to 11, 12 to 14 and 15 to 18 — and a fourth award was given to a group.

The nominee finalists received a glass trophy, a certificate, a book and a $100 cheque.

Kenyon Simms was the award winner out of 10 nominees in the 6 to 11 age group, and was surprised to be the winner.

He was recognized for being a Snow Angel, giving toys to children in need and raising funds for cancer. Last year he worked delivering papers and donated some of the money he earned to cancer.

Jagger Fifield received the award in the 12 to 14 age group and was up against 35 other nominees. Fifield shyly accepted the award, but fully deserved it as he helps the staff at the Flipside Youth Centre by running errands, and is a Snow Angel for his elderly neighbours.

Out of 10 nominees, Jessica Beckwith won the award for the 15 to 18 age group. She was recognized for being a model student at HJ Cody School, and for her involvement with the Flipside Youth Centre and the Youth Advisory Council.

Boyz Unlimited from the Flipside Youth Centre won the group award. The middle-school boys were selected for their creative thinking of raising money to support their own entertainment. They also gathered second-hand clothing and other household items to sell for raising funds during a fashion show put on by the younger children at the Centre’s after-school program Each nominee was nominated by adult figures who have noticed and appreciated the youth contributions made in

the community.

The selection committee included eight members: Corrie Brown of the Sylvan Lake Municipal Library; Sylvan Lake Town Councillor Megan Chernoff; Megan Callan of the House of Music; Krista Carlson of FCSS Youth Services; DeeAnn Daniels of École Fox Run School; Marion Frame of ATB Financial; Nancy Numan of ATB Financial and Brittney Wells of FCSS Senior Supports.

Before the nominees were called up on stage, Sylvan Lake Town Councillor Jas Payne commented on how “awesome” the youth in the room were. He said he gets to sit down and talk with them on what they are going to do in the future, and then he gets to help them get there.

“When I say I know kids, I've probably taught or counselled about 10,000 of them,” Payne said. “I think I've seen just about every configuration of kid. I've known kids who wanted to be astronauts and who actually became astronauts. I've known kids who wanted to become doctors and they all became doctors. Our neighbourhood can be awesome because of these kids.”

Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre also gave some advice to the youth before the nominees were recognized.

“Your potential is nearly limitless, and because of that,

don't let any challenge no matter how big or small intimidate you,” he said to the audience. “You're capable of so much, and now that you know that, you're capable of even more.

You're like a weapon of awesomeness.”

He then asked the youth to always be thankful to the people who contributed positively in their lives and who helped them achieve their dreams.

“There is no telling what accomplishments our youth can achieve when they are empowered with the understanding that they can make a difference in the world.”

A class of Grade 5 students from École Mother Teresa School excitedly joined about 20 seniors at Centennial Park to ‘Walk the Talk’ on Tuesday afternoon.

The seniors came from the Sylvan Lake Lodge, Bethany Sylvan Lake and throughout the community, and were accompanied by some staff who happily walked with them as they were paired up with students.

To start, the students were given half a playing card and were instructed to find the other half, which matched them up with a senior.

Leigh Corbiere, the Grade 5 French teacher who brought the students, said they were all thrilled of the idea of meeting and walking with the seniors.

“It’s a great way to give back to the community and develop some skills and ability to relate to adults,” Corbiere said. “The children were really excited about this.”

This is the second year the Walk the Talk event has taken place. Last year there was a good response from the students and seniors attending the event, and FCSS senior support co-ordinator Brittney Wells said there was a strong desire to host the event again this year and make it into an annual event.

“The seniors and students get to learn about one another,” Wells said. “It’s a great partnership between the youth and our seniors in our community.”

One of the seniors, Patricia Granik, was very enthusiastic about being at the event and gave some of the young students some wise words of wisdom.

“The secret to youth and life is exercise,” Granik said. “It’s just as simple as riding your bike or walking to get your body moving.”

During the walk the seniors and students stopped to read questions posted along the trail parallel to Lakeshore Drive. The questions raised conversations between the students and seniors such as the accomplishments they were most proud of. Some of the other questions related to cultural traditions, family pets and volunteer work.

“The seniors and children get to learn about each other,” Wells said. “How the youth interpret the questions and how the seniors interpret the questions will be different. It will be a great conversation starter for them.”

After the walk was finished, the seniors and children stopped for a quick ice cream treat to continue building their new friendships with each other.

Volunteer Centre administrator Karen Miller attended the event and commented on how the seniors and students were given the chance to form solid friendships.

“Lots of new friendships are made,” Miller said. “It’s really good.”

The event was hosted by the Sylvan Lake Building Bridges Committee.

Japanese students experience Canada in exchange program JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

“It’s an extraordinary and different opportunity than any of the other schools offer. The focus is different. It’s not to go to a foreign country and visit, it’s to go to a foreign country and experience and live the culture for two weeks.”

HJ Cody School welcomed 24 Japanese exchange students into the school for a two-week exchange program last month.

The school has participated in this program every third year since the early 90s, said Linda Wagers, one of the teachers who participates in the program.

She said the opportunity for this program is so rare as it allows students to actually live with a Canadian family. This allows the students to live, eat, breathe and be a part of a Canadian family, Wagers said.

“Most of the trips the kids stay in hotels or hostels or something like that,” Wagers said. “It’s an extraordinary and different opportunity than any of the other schools offer. The focus is different. It’s not to go to a foreign country and visit, it’s to go to a foreign country and experience and live the culture for two weeks.”

The Japanese students also had many opportunities to experience the Canadian culture with going on trips to Sulphur Mountain in Banff, Drumheller, West Edmonton Mall and the Columbia Icefield, Wagers said.

She describes the students as “shopaholics” because they all love to shop.

She said the Canadian families took every opportunity to welcome the Japanese children into their homes but also showed them how some of the holidays such as Easter are celebrated.

“One family did a huge Easter dinner so the children could see what it was like painting and looking for eggs,” Wagers said. “The families bent over backwards to show these Japanese kids what Canada was all about.”

Wagers said the whole point of this exchange student trip is to establish a connection and friendship between the Japanese and Canadian students. She said she found it tremendous how the children will find ways to say in touch with each other.

Wagers said it was fun to watch the children have snowball fights and introduce them to what smoothies are as some of them had never tried some of the food here.

She described the children’s personalities as very kind, incredibly respectful, very shy in many ways, but very eager and willing to try something new.

Wagers said the most interesting thing she personally learned was how it’s possible for two completely different cultures to come together, learn, share and enjoy each other.

“THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS.” Would you enjoy having more peace and less stress? Would you enjoy sleeping better and having a more positive attitude and outlook on life? Would you enjoy having energy and a carefree spirit?

There is a way...Forgive others! Well, you say, you don’t know what they did!! There is no way I’m going to forgive them!

Maybe it depends on our definition of forgiveness. Try this one on: Forgiveness is giving up all right to revenge. It doesn’t mean we have to say “it’s ok what you did to me.”

When we forgive like this we give ourselves

the gift of letting go of bitterness, anger and revenge. It simply means we choose to focus on the future instead of the past. It means that we refuse to let that incident or that person control our thoughts any longer. We stop being victims of that incident and relive every time we think of it.

By letting go of revenge we free ourselves up from all the stuff that robs our sleep, peace, joy and positive outlook. Actually, when we forgive it’s a gift we give ourselves, not them.

Try it. You just might be surprised, and blessed!

Students aiming to fund travel opportunities through flower sale JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

HJ Cody School students have come up with a unique way of funding their worldly travels and will hold a flower sale on May 9 — one day before Mother’s Day. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the students will sell a variety of potted flowers outside in the school's parking lot, or inside near the school's office.

The funds raised will go towards the school's Travel Club. HJ Cody School teacher Kelsey Wilson said the students have an overall goal of selling $10,000 worth of flowers on the day.

The money raised will help them with funds for a community trip to Ecuador, and for school trips to places such as France.

Wilson said the flowers come from Ever-Green Greenhouses in Red Deer and are very high quality. She said the students sold $6,000 worth of poinsettia flowers last Christmas, breaking a record at Ever-Green Greenhouses, and some people still have the flowers.

“It's the only chance to get Ever-Green Greenhouses products here in town, and they are very high quality products,” Wilson said. “This is a one-day special sale for us only and we're the only school that's using EverGreen Greenhouses in all of Sylvan Lake.”

Wilson said the students will sell 11-inch premium hanging baskets for $25 and 12-inch premium patio planters for $35. The students will make about 30 or 40 per cent profit off the flowers they sell, Wilson said.

As proceeds from the event will go into the Travel Club, Wilson said she wants to emphasize the fact that traveling around the world is educational.

“World travelling is one of the best educations a student can get,” Wilson said.

“With people's support, they can help a student see a part of the world they might not otherwise be able to see.”

She added travelling allows students to experience cultural heritage and learn about history.

The trips the students go on range from $5,000 to $6,000, but Wilson said going to another country to learn about it is different than just reading about it.

“I've been to 36 countries and have been able to learn so much,” Wilson said “To read about Vimy Ridge in a textbook is one thing, but to stand there and see where the men came off the boats and faced the gunfire is completely different. It's the real life experience. To taste the food, smell the air and try the language is completely different than to read about it.”

Aquatic Centre closure expected to be short-lived STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Town of Sylvan Lake staff are hoping the closure of the Aquatic Centre will be shortlived, but say they’re taking no chances when it comes to the public’s safety.

The Aquatic Centre was declared “closed until further notice” as of May 1 after safety concerns were raised in light of a recently completed structural assessment.

The assessment showed corrosion on structural steel, the result of being in a

chlorine-rich and humid environment, according to Town of Sylvan Lake public works director Dave Brand.

“As a result, our engineers advised us that we should close the facility until we can get shoring put in place,” he said. “We’re actively working on it, and I would like to suggest it’s a duration of days to weeks as opposed to months.

“It’s hopefully a relatively short-term thing for us to be able to turn around and get the facility re-opened.”

The structural assessment was carried

out in association with the NexSource Centre Multiplex Redevelopment Project.

The Aquatic Centre will eventually be connected to the new complex.

While staff knew upgrades would eventually be required as part of that development, the need for repair arrived sooner than they expected.

“We knew that this was kind of an eventuality and we wanted to determine the exact severity of it,” said Brand. “It was a little bit more advanced than we thought it was.”

While some programming housed in the facility has been put on hold, ensuring the public’s safety is priority, Brand added.

“It’s important for us that when we get something like that, we don’t take any chances,” he said. “Unfortunately, it meant we had to close the facility, but we’ve been in touch with some contractors, and obviously our engineers are working to come up with a solution so we can try and get in there as soon as possible and get the facility open again.”

The facility opened in 2000.

Police seeking person of interest in business break-in A series of stills from surveillance footage shows a man police say is a person of interest in at a break-in at a business office on Lakeshore Drive.

SYLVAN LAKE RCMP

STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake RCMP are asking for the public’s help in finding a person of interest in a break-in at a local business recently.

An ongoing investigation on the matter began on March 13, at which time police were called to break and enter at a business office on the 5100 block of Lakeshore Drive.

Police say a man shown in surveillance video was present around the time the crime happened, and are now seeking the public’s help in identifying him.

The man is described as a Caucasian male around five feet nine inches and five

feet 10 inches tall with a shaved bald head.

He’s said to have a stocky build and weigh around 170 pounds.

At the time of the incident, he was wearing blue jeans, a baseball cap and a blue winter coat.

Police would like to speak with anyone who might be able to identify the man.

Those who might be able to do so are asked to contact Const. Mike Lee of the Sylvan Lake RCMP detachment at 403-858-7200.

Alternatively, tips can be left anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Information leading to an arrest, charge and conviction could result in a cash reward.

Dozens of Apple electronic devices including iPads and Macbook laptops were recovered from a residence in Sylvan Lake April 25.

AIRDRIE RCMP

Dozens of Apple electronic devices allegedly related to a crime in Airdrie have been recovered in Sylvan Lake.

A search warrant executed on a Sylvan Lake residence on April 25 turned up 27 iPad Minis and three Macbook Air laptops.

Further investigation led to the recovery of five more Macbook laptops and eight more iPads.

Airdrie RCMP say the electronics are “in relation to” a March 20 break-in at CW Perry School in that city.

Michael James Mieske, 19, of Sylvan Lake, has been charged with trafficking a controlled substance (MDMA), possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Mieske is scheduled to appear in court in Red Deer May 14.

Anthony Chad Carter, 18, also of Sylvan Lake, was arrested in relation to the break-in in Airdrie, and will make a court appearance in that city on May 21. He’ll then appear in court in Red Deer June 5.

The April 25 search was carried out by the Airdrie RCMP General Investigation Section with help from RCMP in Airdrie and Sylvan Lake.

Akkermans crowned Ponoka Stampede Queen 2015 JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

“To have that title of being a rodeo queen is a big deal,” Akkermans said. “People look at that and really appreciate it.”

Sylvan Lake’s very own Ashley Akkermans, 22, was crowned Ponoka Stampede Queen 2015 on Ponoka Stampede grounds last Friday. As queen, she’ll act as an ambassador for the sport of rodeo for a year.

During Stampede week in late June, Akkermans will attend sponsorship breakfasts, participate in the parade and ride in the rodeos.

She’ll also attend rodeos in Innisfail, Caroline, Rocky Mountain House and Calgary.

“The main part of Stampede Queen is the rodeo and to inform people on the sport of rodeo,” Akkermans said.

“You do that by attending various events and doing lots of public relations.”

Being crowned rodeo queen is a huge achievement for Akkermans. The feat, she said, has been a longtime dream.

Having been raised in Ponoka and attended the Stampede every year, Akkermans said she remembers watching the rodeo queens riding their sparkling horses and wanting to be one of them.

She said she always wanted to be a cowgirl, and was introduced to the western and riding world when she got her own horse.

“I started to realize what a rodeo queen actually does,” Akkermans said. “It’s so cool, you get to meet so many amazing people within the sport. I get to represent the sport that I am so passionate about, and that’s my job. I get to travel around riding lots of different horses.”

Akkermans competed in a one-day competition that included horsemanship, public speaking, modelling and an interview with members of the Ponoka Stampede Committee and a few past rodeo queens.

Out of all the competitions, Akkermans said she really enjoyed the personal interview.

“They asked me why I would be good for their queen,” Akkermans said. “They asked me questions on rodeo and animal welfare, and personal questions on my commitment to see if I would qualify to do this job and to handle it well.”

Stepping into the role of a rodeo queen will be a transition for Akkermans, who has been studying psychology at Red Deer College.

“It’s surreal, I think I am still in shock,” Akkermans said.

“I’ve gone from being a college student to all of a sudden taking on this amazing role that will keep me very busy throughout the summer.”

Akkermans said after she completes her reign as Ponoka Stampede Queen 2015, she’ll have more opportunities because of it.

“To have that title of being a rodeo queen is a big deal,” Akkermans said. “People look at that and really appreciate it.”

Ashley Akkermans of Sylvan Lake has been crowned Ponoka Stampede Queen 2015.

Concessions long enjoyed in Sylvan Lake SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The following article and accompanying pictures 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. The Archives Society is open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. at its new location in the lower level of the town’s Municipal Government Building.

In 1959, Mabel James and daughter Martha Jane bought the Big Cone Property from Art James (no relation). Behind the concession was the cottage where the James family spent the summers. The sign “Big Cone Inn” was originally on the cottage, but was removed because the tourists thought they would find entertainment and food there! Because of the location of the cottage (south of the booth), there were many hijinks in and

around the yard, especially at night. Many times the revellers (to avoid the police) would try to jump the fairly high fence that

cottage was not worth winterizing, a tower was built by Tony Dietrich in 1971 to house the well and pump and provide some

Joe Reardigan. However, the Reardigans did not care for Alberta winters, so sold the property to Barry Anderson in 1980 and moved to Vancouver Island.

In 1956, Dorothy (Mabel’s daughter) and husband Hayward Smith bought Adie’s Popcorn Stand, which was on the beach near the boathouse.

Then, in 1960, a lumber truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and ran into the stand, demolishing it.

After this disaster, what was now Smitty’s Popcorn Stand moved across the street and was added onto the east end of the Big Cone Ice Cream booth.

Remember the Lake Front Ice Cream Parlour in the Prom Hall, Adie’s Popcorn Stand, The Grill, Kanten’s and Korny’s Ice Cream Hut? All gone, but an ice cream ‘fix’ can still be enjoyed today at the Big Moo (and its progeny), Dairy

Fight Like Mike campaign receives boost from water sales JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Vern Richmond, owner of the Water Shop in Sylvan Lake, worked to raise money for the Fight Like Mike campaign by donating a dollar from every three- and five-gallon water bottle sold in February.

From his sales, Richmond was able to donate $1,005 in total to the Fight Like Mike campaign.

Money donated to this campaign has gone towards financially assisting the family of a young boy, Michael Arthur, who has been battling leukemia.

Richmond said that as people read about what he was doing, he had people giving an extra few dollars because they knew they were helping Mike out.

“It's a funny thing because when people hear about it and they see that you're trying to support a family, everybody is very generous and very supportive,” Richmond said. “It's nice to see the community support and help out a family in need.”

Richmond knows the Arthur family as his son and Mike's older brother played together on the same hockey team, and Richmond went to school with both of Mike's parents.

Richmond said he didn't have a particular amount of money he was hoping to raise and donate to this family. He said he just went ahead and donated to the Fight Like Mike campaign without letting his friends know.

“I did it to try and help them out,” Richmond said.

“After they found out that I had done it, Mike's father thanked me from his heart.

You just try to help out a family in need and do what you can.”

He said fundraising for someone he personally knows is kind of like a double-edged sword as he said it is great to be able to help somebody out, but it's hard to imagine what they are going through.

Richmond said he was updated on how Mike is doing with his battle against leukemia and said he is doing well and has recently gone through his final

treatments of chemotherapy.

Richmond took his kindness a step further and asked his friend Steve Beagle to ask his brother Jay, who plays for the Washington Capitals NHL hockey team, for a jersey that has been signed by the team’s players. This request

was successful and Richmond plans on giving the signed jersey to Mike.

“I will give it to Mike as a gift,” Richmond said. “We were thinking of auctioning it off, but I contacted Mike's father and he likes the idea of giving it to Mike as a momentum and something to keep him going.”

Wildrose’s Nixon elected in Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

After weeks of campaigning, then waiting for the votes to slide in, Wildrose Party representative Jason Nixon won the election for the RimbeyRocky Mountain HouseSundre riding Tuesday night.

Nixon received 6,670 votes.

After winning the election, Nixon said he felt excited and humbled by people putting their trust in him in the constituency.

“I'm going to work my butt off in the next couple of years to make sure I earn their trust,” Nixon said. “I'm feeling pretty happy for the Wildrose Party.”

He reflected on the previous few months where some people considered the Wildrose Party to be almost dead.

This is when he said he was proud of his colleagues

talking about some of her ideas for the riding.”

Although disappointed with the results, Cote said she is still happy with the campaign she ran. She said she worked with a supportive and wonderful team who worked hard to actively promote their ideas.

Right from the start Cote and her team made the commitment to run a very positive campaign, with no negative words mentioned towards any of the other

parties or candidates.

Cote said she was proud to be a PC representative.

She said her team's focus was strictly on their campaign, which included focusing on what they could offer people and what was needed to move the province forward.

“I'm really happy with what we did,” Cote said.

“We planned to run a clean campaign and focused on what we had to offer. We worked hard on that and

did everything we could.”

Going forward Cote is not sure of what her impact will be on the constituency.

She said her main focus was on the elections.

Even as Cote came in second, she said she wouldn't have done anything differently in her campaign.

“We did everything that we could,” Cote said. “I think the numbers are a reflection of people looking for change.”

across the riding. He said he is going to start developing a plan of focus for the next couple of years.

Some of the issues Nixon plans to tackle are flood mitigation, infrastructure issues and stable municipal funding, which is something he said he is very passionate about.

“I'm concerned that our municipal areas, particularly rural Alberta, are struggling,” Nixon said. “They don't have stable and predictable municipal funding and I want to fight for that.”

Progressive Conservative candidate Tammy Cote was second in the running and earned 5,296 votes.

Nixon commended her on running a strong campaign.

“Only another candidate can understand what a marathon of what a general election is,” Nixon said. “I congratulate her on a wellrun campaign. I look forward to meeting with her to

because they were able to hold it all together and find a new leader.

“We will be Official Opposition,” Nixon said.

“Now the only difference is that we will be holding an NDP government to account.”

Nixon said the biggest challenge of his campaign was trying to spread his message to as many people as possible in 20 days.

Nixon said he listened to people and took their concerns seriously about government accountability, which helped in his campaign's success.

He said the Wildrose Party has been good for being in Official Opposition in the last few years and said many people wanted to see Wildrose MLAs standing up to keep the government accountable.

As the new MLA, Nixon will take the next few months to plan meetings with stakeholder groups

SPORTS Blizzard Soccer Club kicks off outdoor season JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Kia Marcinyk of the Sylvan Lake Blizzard defends against Camrose’s Jaden Olson during a game at CP Blakely School Monday.

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

A soccer team of 18-year-old girls from the Sylvan Lake Blizzard Soccer Club Travel League kicked off their season in a game against Camrose Monday evening at CP Blakely School, but lost 3-0.

Even though the girls lost their game, they still showed respect and support towards each other. It was obvious the girls were playing for the love of the sport.

Danielle Grapatin, assistant director for the club said the club’s purpose is to provide a fun sports atmosphere for all the players during the six-week summer season.

She said the club tries to play fair game by giving each of the players a chance on the field, regardless of their skill level.

“It’s all for the purpose of the love of the game,” Grapatin said.

The club has a Travel League division with around 100 players and includes a team of 12- to 14-year-old players, and teams of 16- and 18-year-old players.

The club also has the House League division which includes around 415 players this year, all from the Sylvan Lake area. The division has teams ranging from age four to age 14. All of the games are played in town, at CP Blakely School or Leader Field.

The Travel League teams play against other soccer teams in Central Alberta such as Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, Clive, Ponoka and Lacombe.

Grapatin commented on the club atmosphere and said it’s nice to be involved with the club because it’s large, strong and fun.

“I see the kids having an awesome time,” Grapatin said. “I went to the year-end tournament last year and everyone was excited. There’s a lot of festivity that goes around in that club.”

Grapatin said people have shown their membership commitment, making the club strong. She said some of the older children have been playing soccer since they were four years old.

“There’s quite a bit of community within the soccer club,” Grapatin said. “There are a lot of people who put a lot of time and energy into the club and that really contributes to its success.”

Lakers football player Landon Rosene will head to McMahon Stadium in Calgary to play for Football Alberta’s 26th Annual Senior Bowl North team May 18.

Rosene, a Grade 12 student at HJ Cody School, will be playing with 41 other players and said that it “feels good” to be chosen for the team.

He said he is really looking forward to playing on the North team, as it will give him the opportunity to play with new players.

“It’s a good way to meet others that play the sport,” Rosene said.

Rosene’s mother Ingrid Peers knows her son’s capabilities when it comes to playing football and supports him 100 per cent.

Rosene was presented with the Most Valuable Offensive Player of the Year award at the Lakers’ season-end banquet in March, and often wins Rookie of the Year when he advances to a new team, said Peers.

“He has lightning speed and he doesn’t have fear because there’s a lot of big players on those teams. He just does what he has to do.”

Ingrid Peers Peers said when her son tries out for a team he is almost always selected to play. She said last summer he tried out for Team Alberta and was selected.

Even though Rosene may be smaller than some of the other football players, he still lives and breathes the sport and plays with his own unique capabilities.

“He has lightning speed and he doesn’t have fear because there’s a lot of big players on those teams,” Peers said. “He just does what he has to do.”

Being a football player is Rosene’s dream and playing on the Senior Bowl North team is one step closer to achieving his goal. Football scouts are often at these sporting events and are always looking to recruit players, said Peers.

“It goes to show that when you want something bad enough it doesn’t matter how small you are it can be done,” Peers said. “He’s very good at what he does and I’m really proud of him.”

Wave to compete at volleyball nationals in Calgary SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Sylvan Lake U16 Wave volleyball team played at provincials in Edmonton at the Saville Center May 2 and 3.

The team started the tournament in 11th place overall and third in their pool in Division 2. After playing the round-robin games Saturday morning, they had one win and two loses, which once again landed them third place going into the crossover game in the afternoon.

The team had yet to win a crossover at any of the tournaments so far this season. They went against the secondplace team from a higher pool and had an exceptional game

beating them in two sets.

They played Sunday morning at 9 a.m., and although they had a strong match, they lost the game two sets to zero.

That brought the Wave against the Rocky Mountain House team who they have managed to play against in just about every tournament, and haven’t had much luck against them. The team held their own matching each point for most of the game, but again lost to them.

At the end of the tournament the team was placed eighth out of 16 teams. Bailey Kentz and Braxton Orantes split the libero postion and had some amazing digs. Sunday had Braxton mostly libero putting Bailey on the court to do some hitting.

Middles Regan Eisler, Leah Hagel and Paige Hagel put up block after block and numerous hits.

Morgan Lockyer and Amy Bush played the setter postition with Amy setting mostly, as Morgan took on the right side position landing some great blocks and hits.

Erin Matthews, Erin Leidl and Shae Boyes played the power position, and all had some great digs and incredible hits and passes when needed.

The team will now head to nationals in Calgary May 14, 15 and 16. At press time, the release of seeding hadn’t been confirmed, but the team should go into nationals in Division 3 against some pretty stiff completion coming from all over Canada.

Erin Matthews (9) of the Sylvan Lake Wave rises to spike the ball as teammates Regan Eisler (14), Morgan Lockyer (6), Amy Bush (12) Braxton Orantes (15) and Shae Boyes (8) look on.

Nauticals land aggregate medals at Mayflower Meet SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Sylvan Lake Nauticals Swim Club was represented by 16 swimmers at the SPSC Mayflower Long Course Meet in Edmonton April 25 and 26. Along with ribbons for the top eight placings for each age group, this meet also offered swimmers in each age group the chance to earn aggregate medals for overall meet points, and a 50-metre challenge aggregate (lowest combined time for all four 50-metre events). Some of our swimmers also have their sights on earning a Meet Qualifying Time (MQT) for the opportunity to attend Age Group Trials (North) in June.

In the girls 8-and-under age group, Abbi Bahler, 8, swam in six events, and dropped several seconds in most of her swims. Abbi placed third in the 50 free, fourth in the 100 and 200 free, fifth in the 50 back, seventh in the 100 back, and eighth in the 50 breast.

In the girls 9-10 age group, Sophie Ewanchuk, 9, swam in four events. Sophie dropped time in all of her swims, which were highlighted by a 31-second drop in her 200 free. Brielle Simonot, 9, swam in seven events, while also dropping 31 seconds from her 200 free (only four seconds from her MQT). Brielle also finished eighth in her 100 free. Sarah McClelland, 10, dropped time in all six of her swims. She dropped 20 seconds from the challenging 200

IM, while finishing eighth. Kierra Olineck, 10, swam in three events, and swam a best time in the 50 back. Kierra also placed eleventh in the 50 fly.

In the boys 10-11 age group, Isaac Bahler, 10, swam in seven events. Isaac placed first in the 50 fly, 100 back and the 50 and 100 free. He also placed third in the 50 back and 200 free. Isaac also received the bronze medal for the 50-metre aggregate, while setting new 10-year-old long course club records in the 50 fly and 50 free.

The girls 11-12 age group had Taylor Lunde, 11, swimming best times in seven out of eight events. Taylor dropped over 30 seconds from her 100 free, and over 20 seconds from her 100 back. Molly Cocks, 11, dropped time in all six events she swam. Molly took off over 25 seconds on her 200 IM, while also earning her 11-yearold MQT (meet qualifying time for Age Group Trials).

Molly also finished seventh in the 100 back. Zoe DeJonge, 11, placed first in the 100 fly, second in the 50 and 100 back, 50 fly and 100 free, and fourth in the 50 free. Zoe also won the silver medal for the 50-metre aggregate and the bronze for the points aggregate.

Mackenzie Siemens, 12, swam in three events, and placed second in the 100 breast, fifth in the 50 back, and sixth in the 200 IM. Mackenzie also achieved her 12-yearold MQT in the 200 IM. In the girls 13-14 age group, Megan Abram, 13, swam in five events. Megan placed third in the 200 free, and

fifth in the 400 free where she dropped a massive 40-plus seconds. Stephanie Vetter, 13, swam in six events where she dropped 14 seconds from her 200 IM, and a huge 48 seconds from her 400 free. Stephanie also finished a solid fifth place in the 50 free. Elizabeth Moore, 13, swam in seven events, and took the gold in the points aggregate and in the 50-metre aggregate. Elizabeth also improved on her previous 50 free club record, and set a new 200 free club record.

For the boys 12-13 age group, Nicholas Moore, 13, swam in six events, while achieving all best times. Nicholas also won the silver medal in the 50-metre aggregate. He also won an iTunes card in the best time swimmer draw.

In the boys 14-15 age group, Michael Carson, 14, swam in six events that were highlighted by a powerful 50 breast, where he dropped nearly six seconds. Michael’s consistent swimming landed him the gold medal in the 50-metre aggregate. Michael also achieved his 14-yearold MQT in the 400 free.

In the girls 15-and-over age group, Ann Duffy, 16, swam in six events, where she finished first in the 100 back, third in the 50 breast and 50, 100, and 400 free, and fourth in the 100 breast.

Congratulations to all of our swimmers on what they have achieved on this first long course (50m) meet of the season.

Go Nauticals!
