Sylvan Lake’s population now exceeds 14,000, according to unofficial results from a census count carried out earlier this year. Numbers released by the Town earlier this week show the town’s population now sitting at 14,310 — a significant jump from the 13,015 tallied in 2013. Town staff say the results are in line with the town’s projected five per cent population growth annually. The results are expected to be explored further in depth later this year. With certain provincial and federal gov-
ernment grants calculated per capita, accounting for the town’s entire population could mean an increase in grant revenue, say Town staff. That could result in a smaller financial burden being left on municipal taxpayers. “As the community grows, we need to secure these provincial and federal grants to expand our Town services, and to better understand the types of services needed,” noted a media release issued at the time of the census taking. - FULLARTON

First-ever Summer Sensation exceeds promoters’ expectations STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
With a solid lineup of performers, ideal weather and strong attendance, the Summer Sensation Beach Music Festival was a resounding success in its inaugural year, say promoters, who have already begun looking into the logistics of bringing the event back next year. “Everything has just been beyond our expectations,” said Quan Diep, president and managing director of True Channel Entertainment. “It was fantastic.” Thousands of people descended upon Sylvan Lake from throughout Alberta and beyond on Friday and Saturday to take in performances by Our Lady Peace, Hedley, Dragonette, Dear Rouge, Stars, Matthew Good, and others. Diep said discussions with the RCMP and the Town of Sylvan Lake will need to take place before the event can be brought back in 2016, but he’s intent on seeing those discussions through. “There are just a few things we need to figure out, and if we can figure them out, then we’ll definitely be back next year,” he said. “Just seeing the feedback on how people liked the artists and bands this year, I have some great ideas for next year, and we’ll follow through with that and try to impress.” Diep said work by his “incredible team of people” leading up to and during this year’s event played a major role in its success, with very little having gone

wrong over the two days. And he’s thankful to everyone who contributed. “We’re so grateful to everybody — the crew, the staff, the media, and just all the fans and people that came out to the festival,” he said. A security guard was injured as the result of a crowdsurfing mishap during the last song of Our Lady Peace’s Friday night set, but was cleared to return to work the next day. The incident was one of relatively few at the festival that required police attendance, said Cpl. Kevin Halwa of the Sylvan Lake RCMP.
“It went relatively well,” he said. “It was about what we expected it would be.” Police over the weekend issued 92 tickets for offences ranging from open liquor to public urination, and arrested 28 people who were in town as a result of the festival. Two charges were laid
for possession of a controlled substance — one in relation to cocaine, the other ecstasy. A total of ten people were ejected from the concert site over the festival’s two days — two for the use of marijuana, and the bulk of the others for being drunk and disorderly.

Production: Red Deer, Alberta Published every Thursday by PNG Prairie Newspaper Group in community with: Publisher Mary Kemmis
There are stereotypes about every province in Canada. Some of these are bang on and even those that miss the mark are often all in good fun. Not everyone in B.C. does yoga, not everyone in Quebec harvests maple syrup and not everyone in Alberta drives a truck, but these images have some truth to them. Some stereotypes, however, are both inaccurate and unfair. The image of Alberta as a place to make money and flee as soon as your bank account is full is a prime example. Albertans know there is a whole lot more to their province than its reputation in other parts of Canada as little more than a job factory. Nonetheless, this stereotype raises a key question: Alberta is a wealthy province, but is it a happy one? Is Alberta a place where you can build a satisfying life surrounded by friendly people or is it closer to the souldestroying wasteland of strip mines and glass office towers its critics depict it as? With these questions in mind, ATB Financial conducted the Alberta Happiness Survey to find out if Albertans are happy, what they feel is important to their happiness and if they see Alberta as a place where happiness can
flourish. The news is good: eight in 10 Albertans said they are, all things considered, either very happy or pretty happy. And they said this during the dark days of February when every headline seemed to be announcing a drop in the price of oil or another round of job cuts. This sounds like a positive result and it is. After all, not everyone is going to be happy all of the time. The loss of a loved one, ill health, a period of depression, losing your job — there are lots of things that explain why a fifth of us say we are unhappy. At the same time, there are lots of places where a larger proportion of people say they are happy. In Denmark, it’s 97 per cent; in Ireland it’s 94 per cent; in the United States it’s 87 per cent. We don’t know why some places are happier than Alberta, but the international numbers suggest that there is room for improvement on this front in Wild Rose Country. When we take a look at happiness in terms of life satisfaction, we find the same pattern: Alberta is ahead of some places but behind others. About six in 10 Albertans (63 per cent) gave their life satisfaction a rating of seven or higher out of 10. This is way ahead of Egypt (11 per cent), Greece (37 per cent) and Japan (43 per cent) but
well behind Mexico (79 per cent) and Israel (75 per cent). As with happiness, it’s hard to say why life satisfaction is higher in some places, but the fact that it is suggests we can aim higher and look for ways to increase the percentage of Albertans who feel satisfied with their lives. Two other findings from the survey show that Alberta is a happy place. First, when we asked Albertans if they feel that the province is a great place in which to find happiness, 79 per cent said yes. This is a very encouraging finding and one of which Albertans should be proud. However,
while you can’t please everybody, it should still raise an eyebrow that nine per cent of Albertans said no and 12 per cent weren’t sure. Second, over two-thirds of Albertans (68 per cent) said they would like to live in Alberta for the rest of their lives. Given the magnetic pull of warmer places and exotic locales, the desire to return home, and other reasons someone might want to leave Alberta (even if they like it here just fine), this is a very positive finding. We are doing something right! Overall, the results suggest that people might come to Alberta for the jobs, but they
often stay for the quality of life. They also suggest that being a happy place is not a given and that there is work to do to increase happiness in the province. Conducted by Vision Critical between February 5 and 23, 2015 using a web panel, the ATB Financial Alberta Happiness Survey includes responses from a representative sample of 999 Albertans. A summary of the survey results can be downloaded from ATBFinancial. com/economics. Robert Roach is a Senior Analyst with ATB Financial. © 2015 Distributed by Troy Media
LETTERS
No shame in denying Honest grocery development application store employee Dear Editor, My friend Bryna wrote a letter to the editor of the Sylvan Lake News July 2. This letter was with regards to her objection to MPC approving two single-family dwellings being replaced with two fourplex buildings with some relaxation allowed to the developer. The question is why? I admire people who inform their neighbours and stick up for their neighbourhoods; that’s what makes communities stronger. Bryna is raising her family in a R2 residential area near the Sylvan Lake Lodge and Bethany Care
Centre. Developers covenant these larger lots in this area for larger profit. She has been working to rally the neighbourhood to be a stronger voice in the area for controlled future development. The developers will manipulate the rules to benefit themselves to build of the largest possible profit. Does this really suit the the long-term plan for the area near our Seniors Lodge and Bethany Centre? I operate a fourplex and know the effect on neighbourhoods — parking, garbage, traffic, noise. There would be no shame for this application to be denied at
the appeal hearing July 21. Bryna has hit on a good thing; let’s get a controlled build on the infill lots in older neighbourhoods; let the taxpayer have the say! What will the future look like around the Seniors Lodge and Bethany Care Centre? I support Bryna — I once lived in that neighbourhood. All the planners and planning department could not have made a better place to raise a family. Good luck, Bryna and old neighbours and friends. You are defending what you know to be right. Brenda Dale Sylvan Lake

Dear Editor, I would like to extend a special thank you to the person who found my wallet in the ladies washroom at Sobeys and turned it in at their customer service. Also a big thank you to the young man who immediately knew what I was looking for and was especially helpful. Sobeys is very luck to have an employee of such high standards. There are some very special people in this world and I am grateful for these honest folks. Pauline Thompson Barrhead

Breathe Easy! Join Sylvan Lake’s Idle- Free Movement. The average length of time a resident of Sylvan Lake idles their vehicle is 8 minutes. That means 8 minutes idling to pick someone up; 8 minutes idling while running into a shop; 8 minutes idling to warm up or cool down a vehicle. In a recent survey of Sylvan Lake residents, 67% of respondents indicated that a major concern with regards to idling vehicles was “pollution/ poor air quality”. While 53% of respondents indicated a concern with the effects of idling on the environment, only 48% of respondents were concerned with their own health and well-being. The Town of Sylvan Lake, and the Parkland Airshed Management Zone (PAMZ), want to change this. We want 100% of our population to understand the potential health risks associated with vehicle idling. Turn off your vehicle’s engine when not in useafter all, if 12,000 Sylvan Lakers stopped idling for 8 minutes, it would be the equivalent of taking 1,554 vehicles off the road. Breathe Easy Sylvan Lake, and join our Idle- Free Movement today! www.sylvanlake.ca/programming/breatheasy

National Guiding Mosaic coming to Sylvan Lake in 2016 Girl Guides from across Canada will converge at Camp Woods on Sylvan Lake next summer after the site was selected to host the Girl Guides of Canada’s nine-day 2016 Guiding Mosaic camping trip. Camp Woods, located about 10 kilometres west of the Sylvan Lake townsite, hosted a similar event in 2013, when Scouts Canada held its 12th Canadian Scout Jamboree. It was chosen to host the July 2016 Guiding Mosaic due to its ability to accommodate campers by the thousands (the Canadian Scout Jamboree hosted in excess of 6,500) and for its wide array of activity offerings and amenities. “A couple different locations were proposed, and the senior team visited and decided based on looking at Camp Woods that it had what we were looking for
in a national camp,” said Mosaic communications lead Deborah Suddard. “We’re taking advantage of what they have on site.”
“A couple different locations were proposed, and the senior team visited and decided based on looking at Camp Woods that it had what we were looking for in a national camp.” Deborah Suddard
With the trip marking the first major camping excursion for many of its attendees, organizers are taking a proactive approach to ensuring campers’ comfort. In doing so, they’ve begun to spread the event’s presence on social media in a bid to acquaint Girl Guides from all over Canada and the world before they even arrive in Sylvan Lake. “We’re getting the girls in touch with each other to build relationships before we even get to the camp,” said Suddard. “This is often the first time the girls will be camping somewhere bigger, and they are nervous and anxious.” But the camp won’t be too far away from home for some of its attendees. Guides from Sylvan Lake and Eckville will be among those participating, with fundraising for many of them already well
underway. And while the camping experience will last just over a week, the memories will much, much longer, Suddard assures.
“It’s a great opportunity for them to expand beyond what regular camping would be,” she said. “There’s a whole lot of excitement and curiosity.”
Over 2,000 Girl Guides, leaders and crew members are expected to attend the event, which runs July 9 to 17, 2016. - NEWS STAFF

Alleged drunk driving incident sends child to hospital with minor injuries
Firefighters remove debris from the scene of an alleged drunk driving incident at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 11 July 8. STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
A six-year-old child was taken to hospital following an alleged drunk driving incident in Sylvan Lake last week. Emergency crews arrived on the scene of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 11 shortly after 10 p.m. on July 8. There it was determined that a Ford F-350 truck had collided with a minivan. Emergency crews were told by
witnesses on scene that the truck’s male driver and lone occupant had been seen discarding a number of cans from the truck before fleeing in the direction of a nearby golf course. Police approached the truck, which had come to rest in a ditch, only to find it void of any occupants. They did, however, find several cans of liquor inside. Witnesses pointed out to police the direction in which the truck’s driver allegedly fled. With the assistance of Police Dog Services, he was soon found in an adjacent field a short distance away.
STUART FULLARTON
A six-year-old child, one of two occupants in the minivan at the time of the collision, was taken to hospital by ambulance with what were determined to be minor injuries. Kevin James Connolly, 25, of Red Deer, has been charged with impaired driving, driving while over 0.08, dangerous driving, fleeing the scene of an accident, driving while disqualified, two counts of breaching a probation order and theft of a motor vehicle. The suspect is in custody with a court appearance scheduled for July 22 in Red Deer.

Lacombe County pledges $1 million toward RDC multiplex JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
With plans to turn Red Deer College (RDC) into a polytechnic university and the college’s need for a multiplex facility, Lacombe County last Wednesday carried a motion to give $1 million to support the project, according to county commissioner Terry Hager. The $1 million will come from the Community Aggregate Levy Reserve and will be given in one lump sum in the next few months, said Hager. The request was brought to council July 9, and Hager said most councillors were in support of the recommendation. “They felt it would benefit current and future residents of Lacombe County, particularly if it was to become a polytechnic university of a degree-granting status,” Hager said. The overall estimated cost of the multiplex will be $88 million, as the facility will adequately provide athletes with a centre catered towards sports performance, athletic healing and therapy. The multiplex will include a centre specifically for sports administration, and in partnership with Hockey Alberta, it will serve athletes involved in playing, refereeing and coaching hockey throughout the entire province. The request for funding also mentioned that the multiplex is one facility planned to host the 2019 Canada Winter Games, but Hager said this was a minor part in the overall decision making. “It was more the longterm use of the facility and the strength and support that that facility would bring to Red Deer College’s vision to become a polytechnic university,” Hager said. But some councillors were in opposition of the
amount being requested, Hager said. Some felt funds should be used for infrastructure needed within Lacombe County, that $1 million was too much money and that the decision could be made closer to the time of the college becoming a polytechnic university. Factors that were closely looked at prior to carrying the recommendation were whether the polytechnic university and multiplex were in line with Lacombe County’s Regional Recreation Plan and policy for funding capital facilities, and how the facility would benefit the residents of Lacombe County and all of Central Alberta, according to Hager. Councillors, he said, considered whether the facility would be of “value to our community and will it enhance current and future opportunities for our youth.” Funds from the Community Aggregate Levy Reserve can be used for community projects such as upgrades to roads, arenas, aquatic centres and bridges, Hager said, noting the terms of reference under the program are broad. “The intent for that funding is to be used to benefit the community,” Hager said. “(The project) is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Community Aggregate Levy Reserve program.” Having a polytechnic university and multiplex facility so close to home would benefit the youth of Sylvan Lake, Eckville and other areas surrounding Red Deer, Hager said. “They will have the same opportunity as everybody else in Central Alberta to be able to access the facilities — I view it as a positive move that would encourage a University in close proximity to our community.”
FACING YOUR FEARS HEAD ON! I was at a leadership training course. It was full of many different outdoor activities, one of which was to strap on a full harness so that I was well protected from falling, and then climb thirty feet and jump off a diving board into thin air, no pool below. Yep, that’s what I said! Thirty feet in the air, rope strapped to my back so I couldn’t see it, just trust that it would be there when I needed it! I decided I had reached my limit, and that this was one activity I would not be able to do, but my fellow participants challenged me and talked me into it. Did I mention that I’m not good with heights, and can be nervous with thick socks on!! “What was I doing here?” I kept asking myself as I clung to the tree in sheer terror. And then I decided to
just get it over with, so I slowly made my way to the end of the board and leaped! The fact that I am here to tell you the story tells you how it ended. I have done many challenging things since then, by simply thinking back to that day, and deciding that if I could do “That” I can surely do “This!”Fear can be absolutely paralyzing, but facing that fear is very rewarding. The God of the Bible says that perfect love casts out fear. He said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled.” He is full of plans and strength, and ways to get us through our challenges that we have no idea of. He invites you to check Him out and find out what fears He can help you overcome. Bill Spangler

Cats and dogs find new homes in successful Adoption Day JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Four kittens, one cat and five dogs — all previously sheltered — now have new homes, thanks to Klassic Kennels’ successful Adoption Day on Saturday. “This time of year, especially when it comes to kittens and cats, every shelter in Central Alberta is overflowing with felines, and we’re no different,” said Klassic Kennels owner Jim DeBoon. “Finding homes for five of those felines is nice.”
DeBoon said there are still four more dogs to be adopted, with three or four more dogs being in the reclaim category for owners to pick up. But if the owners don’t claim the dogs, they too will eventually fall into the adoption category. The facility also has upwards of 20 cats and kittens still in the search of new homes. “We get kittens in by the boxloads,” DeBoon said. The shelter runs a fosterto-adopt program, through which potential owners may care for an animal over a one- or two-week trial
period to see how the animal fits with the owner’s family. “Often times that’s what we will do, especially for dogs,” said DeBoon. “We would rather a family and a dog be successful than be in a position where it’s not working for the dog or the family.” In the case of the latter, pets may be returned to the shelter without judgement or any hard feelings, DeBoon added. And for families and individuals who aren’t able to adopt, there remain plenty of other ways to help.
Donations of dog and cat food, cat litter and other pet-related items are often required. Requests for such donations, along with informa-
tion on animals seeking adoption, are posted to the Klassic Kennels Facebook page, and DeBoon said the organization is grateful for any support it can get.
“The vast majority of Sylvan Lakers are so helping and supportive,” he said. “We feel really honoured and blessed with the support that we get right now.”

A look back: Regattas and a mile-long swim JEAN BRIDGE SYLVAN LAKE AND DISTRICT ARCHIVES SOCIETY
The pictures on this page were submitted by the Sylvan Lake & 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. Over the years between the two World Wars, the Regatta was held annually. Some were more successful than others, often depending on the weather. In the mid 1930’s, the Regatta got a big lift when the Wrigley Company undertook to sponsor a mile-long swim in conjunction with the Regatta. Winners determined the Provincial Junior Men’s and Women’s Champions for that distance for the Alberta Branch of the Canadian Swimming Association. The races were discontinued during the 1939-45 war years, but resumed again in 1947. The lake was as busy as ever during the war, due to the air force base at Penhold and the three dance halls playing nightly from Victoria Day weekend in May to Labour Day in September, but the organized activities were discontinued and not resumed until after the war.
In 1960, a Regatta committee was formed, and announced plans for the First Annual Regatta. It was a great success, but during the next few w years, bad weather plagued the events. By 1964 interest had fallen off and the Regattas were discontinued.

“By 1913 there were many boats and canoes on the lake. The first Annual Regatta was held on July 11 and 12 of that year. The hotels and many houses were nicely decorated with evergreens. Red Deer citizens helped with the organizing — besides the water events there was a tennis tournament followed by a tea, and the Red Deer Band supplied music all day. In the first evening a dance was held in Heenan’s Opera House and a banquet was held to honour the prize winners on the 12th.” - DR. BILL PARSONS, REFLECTIONS OF SYLVAN LAKE The 1913 Regatta was a great success but the next “Annual” was not held until 1923, after the 1914-18 World War. The 1923 Regatta was very successful, but a financial failure — too much had been spent on promotion and prizes. However, the 1924 Regatta fared better and the debts were paid off. One of the races was the ladies sculls — won by the Jarvis girls in 1923 with a steel boat. The next year the rules were changed and steel boats were not allowed, but the Jarvis girls won that one, too — in a wooden boat. By this time, dancing had been added to the activities. In 1924, Sullivan’s Dancing Academy Orchestra from Edmonton played at the Sylvan Lake Hotel, owned by J.W. Graham. There was also dancing in the adjacent Elk’s Hall. A parade with many floats and a huge picnic had also been held.

Council reluctantly approves NexSource Centre timeline extension STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Sylvan Lake town council approved a timeline extension for the Multiplex Redevelopment Project on Monday night, but not before some councillors voiced their displeasure
with the delay. Public works director Dave Brand told council various circumstances had resulted in delays in the project, which was originally slated to be completed by fall 2016. He requested that council approve an extension of the NexSource

Centre’s completion date to February 2017, which Coun. Matt Prete immediately opposed. “I think we’ve got to get after it and say no, and get this thing done on time in the time that we said we were going to get it done,” he said. “I’m not going to accept an extension at this point.” Mayor Sean McIntyre added a contrasting opinion, nothing his feelings that work on the facility shouldn’t be rushed. “Because we are now experiencing the consequences of work not being thoroughly done with the

Dale Plante agreed with Prete, and felt there was still plenty of time for the project’s timeline to get back on track. “When we wanted this whole thing, we looked at the inconvenience of it and the ability for our curling rink, our seniors and everybody planning for a certain window of time to get this complet-

Full building audit to take place at Aquatic Centre STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Sylvan Lake town councillors on Monday approved a scope expansion for work on the Aquatic Centre, paving the way for a full building audit to now take place. The Aquatic Centre was closed earlier this year due to structural concerns, and will remain so until a full audit of the building can be carried out. Council in March approved $140,000 in funding for temporary shoring, non-destructive testing and an engineering

assessment on the building. Public works director Dave Brand told council there were enough funds remaining in that budget to cover the cost of the audit. At the time of the meeting, two proposals had been submitted for the audit, ranging in price from $32,300 to $87,500. Mayor Sean McIntyre said Town staff and council receive “questions by the day of the pool’s status,” and requested to staff that they keep the public up to date on the project as it develops. “Users are just wondering where we are in the process,” he said. “Every bit of information we can give to them is of benefit.” Chief administrative officer Betty Osmond said she would ensure updates as they become available would be posted to the Town’s website.

Local flyboarders to compete in world championships JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Local flyboarders Brody Wells and Chad Bell are two of 80 competitors from around the world who will vie for international glory when they head to the world flyboard-
ing championships in Dubai this December. Wells, a professional flyboarder with Team Canfly and owner of Alberta Flyboard, said flyboarding in Dubai is “absolutely amazing.” Paired with skydiving to create the X Dubai competition, it’s an event he feels is truly one of a kind.
Local flyboarder Brody Wells will travel to Dubai to compete in world flyboarding championships later this year. SUBMITTED

And he can’t wait to be part of it. “They have the skydiving competition going on, there are helicopters landing in the background and there are aircraft taking off,” Wells said. “Then there are flyboarders out there who are giving it their all.” Each year the competition keeps growing, giving flyboarders the challenge of coming up with new tricks and creating their own individual twists and maneuvers to incorporate into their routines, Wells said. That, he feels, helps feed the highly-competitive atmosphere. “It is absolutely breathtaking to see, especially after you go through 80 guys that are in the Pro Division, and then you break it down into the top four,” he said. “The skill, blood, sweat and tears — they are out there giving it their all. The show that they put on is quite amazing.” To prepare for the competition, Wells said he’ll practice flyboarding in Sylvan Lake in September, and then most likely travel to Mexico to train and practice in October and November before flying to Dubai. But flyboarding in Canadian water is much different than flyboarding in the water in Dubai, where it’s full of salt and very dense, Wells said. The dense salt water pumps differently through his jet pump, and gives him a near 50 per cent increase in power. “As it’s passing through the jet pump, it acts and reacts going through your hose, and interacting with the blades of the jet pump it’s completely different,” he said. “The jet pumps are very crisp and clean in the brand new machines we were using, and the heavier, denser water is being pushed through that hose at a faster rate.” That increase in power in turn increases the strain on the legs of the rider, Wells added. When conditioning and training for competitions, he uses his own machine, but tries to mimic using the same kind that he’ll use at the world championships. That means having to adapt to the new equipment and sharpening his reaction times, he said. “We’re going to flip faster — it becomes a game of muscle memory when you’re dealing with a change like that, and then you almost have to re-learn the machine very quickly in order to stay on top of the game.” During competitions, flyboarders are judged on how fast they execute their tricks and combinations, with a lot of focus placed on esthetics as well, Wells said. “You’re trying to make your tricks look clean and as good looking as possible, but also making sure you get them down fast enough, and maximizing the height too. “If someone’s doing a million back flips, but they look ugly, they aren’t going to be graded as well as someone who is doing them higher, cleaner and faster. “You have to be careful and smart about your riding.”

Nauticals push on in absence of home pool JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Since the closure of the Sylvan Lake Aquatic Centre earlier this year, members of the Sylvan Lake Nauticals Swim Club have had to travel to other communities to use their aquatic facilities. But that hasn’t stopped the club’s swimmers from continuing their development, with one of them — Elizabeth Moore — even set to attend Nationals this summer. “(Moore is) very proud to be a member of the Sylvan Lake Nauticals Swim Club and representing her community at a national level and at a national competition,” said the club’s head development coach Sharon Burns. Other swimmers were close to being eligible for national competitions as well, said Burns, proving it will take much more than a pool closure to prevent them from achieving their goals. “We’re still going to try to maintain our goals and keep letting the community know
that we’re still out there working,” Burns said. “We’re looking forward to keeping our swimmers at the national level and keeping our program going as much as we can.” But when the town’s Aquatic Centre closed down, many Nauticals had to finish their season early because there was so much uncertainty as to when the pool would re-open. This caused the number of swimmers to drop from 120 to between 15 and 20. “That’s a big drop,” Burns said. “As a result of that, we’re going to for sure have two coaches and six coaches that we’re not sure that are going to be there next year.” One of the club’s biggest concerns, she added, is not knowing how long it will take for things to return to normal. “We don’t know if we are going to be doing this for a while or when we’ll be back,” she said. “Some communities actually fold when this happens, but we have had lots of support, so that’s been nice to see.”

Lightning players strike their way to provincials JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The
Sylvan

Lightning bantam baseball team batted its way to Bantam AA provincials over the weekend by win-
ning 15-5 against the Fort MacLeod Royals on Saturday and 16-1 against the Acme Red Sox on
Sylvan Lake Lightning baseball player Deegan Mofford pitches the ball during a JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN game at Four Seasons Park on Saturday.
Sunday. The team is now positioned at Tier 4, and its players are looking forward to playing in provincials July 24 to 26 in Sylvan Lake, said head coach Travis Smith. “We will have some really close competition and very competitive teams in the next level,” he said. Smith said a particular weekend highlight occurred on Saturday evening when the team was down a few runs early in the game, but began hitting the ball very well, bringing them back up with a good inning that saw them score close to eight runs. “It was kind of a big comeback or a turning point when we had that good offensive inning in the game,” he said. Regardless of what happens next for his players, he added, they are happy to be playing at the provincial level — a first for many of them. “These are once-in-alifetime opportunities to play at that level,” he said. Given their solid work ethic, he added, he’s not surprised to see them get this far. “The guys are a group of very hard working young men,” he said. “They have their goals in mind, and that’s to play at the provincial level, and I don’t think they will be satisfied unless we perform well at that level.” Much of their success, he feels, is down to their desire to play the game
for all the right reasons — and their desire to succeed provincially. “They come out to practice and they work
hard because they all want to do well and they want a chance to play at the provincial level,” he said.

Collision
- Centennial Street at 50 Avenue was blocked off for a short period of time on Monday afternoon as emergency crews attended to a collision involving a truck and a parked car. No injuries were reported in the incident, whose circumstances were still under investigation at press time. STUART FULLARTON
LETTER
Area being destroyed in name of improvement Dear Editor, I would like to thank Bryna Boisvert for taking the time to publicly address the feelings of many residents in the area that is presently being destroyed in the name of improving it. Why can Sylvan Lake not give others the opportunity to raise their families in the same way that we have had the privilege to raise our families? Why destroy a beautiful old neighbourhood for the sake of profiteers who do not even live in our community. One comment made by a council member that really upset us at the last meeting was: “This is just another case of you don’t want this in your backyard.” These are our homes he was referring to and they may not be mansions but they are ours. My question to this member of council is would you like your area torn up and have these planted on your front lawn? Putting emotion aside, which seems to rise to the top when discussing this issue, I would like the Town to show us a plan for our neighbourhood. Have you sat down as a planning board and strategized development of the area? What is the point in having a zoning bylaw when the word discretionary use can be used to help the developer rather than the taxpayers who have lived in the area and paid taxes for decades? We have numerous high-density homes, a multiplex, the Bethany Centre, a school and three houses down from this purposed building is the busy 47th Avenue. We have nothing against these homes, but can they not be built in the newer areas where there is room for parking and expansion? Parking in this area is at a premium. There is no shortage of room in this town for building, so why cram it into our older areas. This does nothing for town planning; it only continues to further create a zoning bylaw disaster. Why have a zoning bylaw when it is changed at various Town boards' discretion. These bylaws need to be more specific before the older heritage areas of town are
destroyed in the name of profit. In response to the comment made by Mr. Kalirai in the July 9th newspaper — if the MPC board is not expected to know the bylaws, how are the members of the community expected to know what they are? This is a position they have accepted and should know the bylaws particularly when relaxations and enormous changes to community are involved. Garbage in a fourplex is not picked up by the Town, but rather by a commercial pickup. Is there room for these pickups to be made or will the alley turn into an area littered with debris? Is this not something that should be closely looked into before a decision to allow these complexes to be built is made? In our humble opinion, the comment made by Mr. Kalirai on the difference between a balcony and a deck is yet another attempt at twisting the word discretionary. It is a vocabulary choice. Our next question for Mr. Kalirai is there seems to be tandem parking on two stalls in one fourplex and the other fourplex has an allowance of all four parking stalls to be tandem parking. Why is tandem parking not allowed in a secondary suite which involves one parking area but is allowed in a fourplex where many more people are involved? What is the actual parking allowance for fourplexes? Does it allow stacked parking? What does the bylaw say? This will indeed lead to more tenants parking on the street as the people in the front suites will not want to walk from the back to the front. Is this again another use of the word discretionary? The area is already crammed with high density homes with no consideration to our seniors, school children and the already considerable lack of parking for our arena. Why can we not preserve these areas for future generations? Hugh and Loretta Hermary Sylvan Lake

Positive social atmosphere makes for successful Show and Shine JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Barry Cunningham poses with his 1929 Ford Model A during the Customs and Classics Show and Shine at Meadowlands Golf Club on Saturday. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN
The Customs and Classics Show and Shine brought the community of Sylvan Lake together Saturday as well over 1,000 spectators to see over 200 cars, some of which were manufactured as early as the 1920s. Sylvan Lake Customs
and Classics club president Gord Bredo said the number of spectators had increased by four or five hundred this year. “It’s great for a small town,” Bredo said. “We increased the spot for the spectators considerably and it is jam packed.” The number of participants this year was comparable to last year, and
Bredo said some came from Calgary and as far as British Columbia. The event’s appeal to a wide age range, he feels, had something to do with that. “It’s family friendly and fun for the whole family,” he said. That fun was definitely evident as car owners socialized with each other
and left spectators to have a peek at their cars. Even though this year’s event was well attended, Bredo still encourages further participation next year. “If you’ve never been to a show, maybe come and it might pique your interest into a classic car,” Bredo said. “It may bring back some memories of
Grandpa’s old Model A, you never know.” Patsy and Ivan Kachanoski travelled all the way from Fairmont Hot Springs, B.C. to attend the event and brought two different cars — a 1956 Ford Thunderbird in stock condition and a 1956 black Ford F-100, both of which were on display. This year was their
fourth time participating in the event, and it’s certainly unlikely to be their last. “It’s like an old homecoming,” said Patsy. “It’s a long trip for us, but we don’t care, because we get treated nicely by these folks. I can’t say enough about them; they are good people.” The Show and Shine attracted classic car enthusiasts from throughout the province and beyond. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN
