by patrolling members of the Sylvan Lake RCMP near the Fox Run School.

As members attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver drove into the field behind the school and attempted to get away. In order escape, the driver of the vehicle rammed a stationary police vehicle causing damage to the car.

A pursuit was engaged and travelled through Sylvan Lake where the vehicle entered another field at the C.P. Blakely Elementary School and then crashed through a fence to avoid apprehension.

The pursuit was re-engaged a short distance away near the Boston Pizza where the vehicle travelled to a wooded area behind Bayshore Link and got stuck. The driver and lone male was apprehended at that time with no further incident.

Subsequent investigation determined that the truck had been stolen 3 weeks earlier from a residence in Benalto, Alberta. Of note, in each case, both at the Fox Run School and C.P. Blakely School, school was in progress. No students were put in harms way as all students were inside the buildings.

No members of the RCMP were injured during this incident. The police vehicle remains operational.

Charged with the 19 criminal offences is 18 year old Dakota CORNELSSEN of no fixed address. Charges include but are not limited to the following: Assault with a weapon, Possession of Stolen property over $5000, Possession of Stolen property under $5000, Flight from police, Dangerous Driving, Impaired Driving by a drug, Possession of weapon dangerous to public, Mischief over $5000, Mischief under $5000,Possession of Methamphetamine.

Remembrances SUBMITTED BY BUNNY VIRTUE SYLVAN LAKE & DISTRICT ARCHIVES In 1949, a donation of $20.00 from the Legion and a $1.00 membership fee gave the start to a volunteer group which has served Sylvan Lake for 66 years. The first real project for the Legion

Ladies Auxiliary in 1949 involved getting 25 blood donors for the Red Deer Red Cross and then the Auxiliary branched out to a Hospital fund (for vets) , a scholarship fund (for vets children), the Polio fund and a local project – Mrs. Mary Moores Special Learners Class.

As well as these worthy causes, the Auxiliary served lunches (coffee 5 cents, doughnuts 5 cents, sandwiches 30 cents) for various dances & card parties and then took on the job of hosting doughnuts & coffee after the Remembrance Day parade & service —- in the

in 1949, is still evident today – there are poppy drives, rallies, pig roasts, dances and catering. You cant get a lunch for 30 cents these days, but you can enjoy an Auxiliary breakfast (for a very good price) on the first Sunday of each month.

Another group import-

ant to remember at this time of the year is the War Brides Club. In 1946, 20 women who had mar-

ried Canadian service men came to Sylvan Lake & district from England and Holland, but all across Canada there were thousands of war brides from many different countries. These brides left their families & friends and embarked on an adventure that meant a 5-10 day ocean voyage, a 3-4 day train trip and for some, further travel meant over bad roads to a small town or farm.

The culture shock was considerable.

Besides homesickness, the war brides had to learn to cope with outdoor biffies, wood & coal stoves, canning & preserving of huge gardens and of course & getting used to snow & the long winter months.

But the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks — food they had not seen for years (white bread & butter), brightly lit towns & cities, no coupons needed for food & clothing, and best of all, cen-

To combat homesickness, a War Brides Club was formed to get together and talk about home and laugh about their experiences and expectations in their new country. In Sylvan Lake, the W.I. and neighbors welcomed the ladies and made sure they felt part of the community — it must have worked, because all of them stayed and became Canadian citizens.

Chase unreasonable goals

BY SCOTT MCDERMOTT SYLVAN LAKE NEWS COLUMNIST I leave for my 3rd Ultraman in three days.

My second chance at the World Championships and I have a pretty clear goal this time around.

In 2013 when I first raced the UMWC on the big island of Kona, Hawaii I was completely humbled by the course, the island and the challenge. Ultraman is more of a close knit family than Ironman, it’s commercial counterpart, partly because of the kind of people it attracts, partly because the race is capped at 40 people from around the world.

Just to get in is an honour, but the race itself is unforgiving and reverence means nothing. The 10km swim from Kailua, Kona to Keahou Bay at the Sheraton is a monster.

There is always a current against the swimmers, and depending on the tides, the swells are either large, or massive. Training in Sylvan Lake we do get some pretty gnarly waves, but no 4 foot swells like we did in 2013, which caused around eight people to get seasick, including myself. After puking for 3 hours, surviving the worst hell I had ever been through and nearly missing the five hour cutoff for the swim, exhaustion didn’t matter; I had work to do.

The 145km bike ride that is 70% uphill to Volcano National Park was a suffer fest, featuring two brutal tropical rainstorms and at the top of the climb - fog, making the slippery roads that much more treacherous. Day two is the 276km bike around the entire back side of the island travelling over an amazing array of terrain and finishing by going up and over the Kohala mountains.

In 2013 I fought fatigue all day, left over from the brutal swim and bike of day one. Then, the final test is the double marathon; 84.4kms on the Queen K highway from Hawi to Kailua, the Ironman bike course, in reverse. This tasty little jog features lots of rolling hills, black asphalt surrounded by black lava fields and no shade. To say it is grueling is a serious understatement,

and in 2013 I had pushed through a running injury and had very little mileage in my legs prior to the race, and I suffered for it.

I have been training hard since January 1st and apart from some adrenal fatigue from too much training, working and not enough rest - my season has gone very well. I have never been more prepared for this, which means exactly nothing but it is the part I can control. The race will be the race and we will face all manner of new challenges of that I am sure.

Another idea I came up with for 2015 is to film it and make a documentary for entry into the Banff Mountain Film Festival 2016, with the World Premiere of the film being right here in Sylvan Lake.

That project has certainly added a challenging layer, but has also been a lot of fun. Definitely I am a lucky guy, with an amazing and supportive wife and a stellar staff at Best Body Fitness that let

me chase this impossible dream. The film is an attempt to give back and help share the experience and hopefully inspire others to chase their unreasonable goals.

When I crushed my back in 1984 and was told I would be in a wheelchair by age 40, it feels pretty awesome to be racing for my country at age 46.

This year I have some plans that should change how things went two years ago. I will be wearing a Scopalomine patch to prevent motion sickness, and that alone should set the tone for the race in a much different framework than 2013.

Of course nobody can predict things like jellyfish, sharks, storms, etc.

So I am hoping for calm waters. I have also swam harder and more often than ever before, and of course with the loss of our pool, Red Deer has become a common destination for me at 6 a.m. I have logged more 8 hour, 7 hour, 6 hour indoor bike

rides than I care to remember, most featuring 50% climbing. In October I rode for 220kms in a hotel room on the trainer, then ran 5kms, then the next day raced the Grizzly Ultra Marathon in Canmore, a 50km trail run.

So as far as preparation, I have done what I can do.

I am as ready as I can be.

The film funding is at 30% and rising daily, but we have a long way to go!

I was hoping to partner with local businesses to trade a promo film for a solid donation, but with things the way they are economically, most funding is coming from friends and small businesses in a more conservative fashion. Every penny is appreciated, and I feel blessed in a challenging world, to be creating something inspiring and hopeful.

There are a few video clips at www.warriorcodefilm.com if you want to check it out.

Once we arrive in Kona this week, I have a day

to set up, and then I will crush some major training for a week, then start my taper to get race ready.

My support crew will be blogging and posting on Twitter so folks back home can follow along.

My goal this year is to suffer like never before. To push harder than I have ever pushed. To shatter any limitations I thought I had and find that delicate balance of: hard enough to succeed, but not enough to break.

I have an amazing crew supporting me in the race, and of course, my amazing Wife and son to cheer.

I am very proud to have trained and created this dream from Sylvan Lake, starting with the 2005 Sylvan Lake Half Iron as the goal that started it all.

I have been training for 15 to 25 hours a week for nearly a year, and if a regular run of the mill guy like me can do that then you can do anything you set your mind to and besides, who wants to be average?

‘A good news budget in a bad news year’ says Mayor

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Sylvan Lake Town Council spent the weekend conducting deliberations in regards to the 2016-2018 municipal operating budget.

Despite trying economic hardships across the province, Mayor Sean McIntyre said he was proud of the budget the Town put forth stating he felt it was a ‘good news budget in a bad news year.’

With the proposed budget being recently finished by Town Staff, Council was left to debate various uncertainties within to ensure all funds were properly distributed.

It was determined the Town will likely be raising residential tax rates 2.47% in 2016 with a 2.96% increase in 2017 and 3.89% in 2018. Non residential tax rates are set currently to increase 1.39% in 2016, 1.89% in 2017 and 2.10% in 2018. In addition residents may see an increase in the flat rate for Town provided utilities of $5 a month.

Dave Brand, director of Public Works for the Town stated during the deliberations on Saturday the increase would account for costs incurred during the creation of the regional water reservoir and pipeline.

“Right now we as a town don’t pay anything for our water, it comes from existing wells but when we go to the regional water system in the future and we are buying water and sending waste water to and from Red Deer we will then be paying for every cubic metre of water that comes into town,” said Brand. “To put it into perspective our rate for users currently is 72 cents per cubic metre of water used and that goes towards making sure the water gets to where it needs to go from the hole in the ground - we will pay Red Deer some where around $1.30 per cubic metre just to get water to our town plus that original 72 cents to get it to where it needs to go in town. So we’re looking at around $2 for a consumption rate.”

Brand expects the Town will be on the regional water system in 5-8 years with the Town currently seeking interim water supplies through the additional drilling of wells to sustain the town short term. He added the cost to build the pipeline to receive water from the City of Red Deer will be around $50 million.

A 2.5% increase to Town Staff wages was also examined with no deliberation being made. Both Councillors Matt Prete and Jas Payne opposed the increase, stating a 1.5% increase would be more reasonable considering current economic climate.

“Stats Canada has indicated in Alberta so far this year

at the end of September there have been 53,000 jobs lost,” said Councillor Prete. “The average Canadian wage growth is 0.8% this year - those are the numbers. It was agreed by the majority of Council the other night on a number of 2.5%, but wages are a third of the Town’s budget, “We’re talking about big dollars … I’m opposed to a 2.5% increase. I feel it’s inappropriate in this economic climate.”

New tennis courts for the town were also discussed, and a proposed $100,000 was allocated in the budget for 2016 to potentially provide new tennis courts.

Councillor Payne was among the advocates for the courts stating as someone who uses the current courts on a regular basis they are terrible but even though they are terrible he must still use them as they are the only option.

A proposed $113,000 from the budget in 2017 is alleged to go towards a Fire Training Facility, with another $100,000 coming from the 2016 budget to go towards a Search and Rescue watercraft for the lake in partnership with Lacombe and Red Deer counties.

Council also decided it was a necessity to move funds up for the NexSource Centre. Last year’s budget proposed $1.5 million being equally spread over the next three years, but Council and Town staff felt it was more appropriate to allocate more funds in 2016.

On November 9th, Council will approve the 2016-2018 Draft Budget for public distribution with a Budget Open House for the public to attend and address concerns will be held on November 27 at a time yet to be determined.

Report on Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund heard by Council

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS During the last Town Council Meeting, members of the Red Deer and District Community Foundation and the Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund Committee made a presentation showing details of the Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund - stating the more people who know about the fund, the better.

Established in 2001, the Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund is a fund that pools charitable gifts from generous citizens to allow registered charities to fund community needs and visions for the future.

The fund was started thanks to a kind and generous gift from a long-time Sylvan Lake resident who wished to support the work of the many non-profit organizations

in the town.

Organizations applicable to the Fund should fall under the categories: sport, recreation, arts, culture, senior services, youth and child services, or environmental sustainability. The fund acts as as a community catalyst committed to building a legacy which strengthens the quality of life in Sylvan Lake and the surrounding area.

Currently there are six grant applications awaiting approval to access the Fund.

“We help donors achieve their charitable goals by receiving donations and grant making back to local charities of all kind from sports and recreation to arts and culture groups to seniors, children and the environment,” said Jacqueline Ruhe, Chair of the Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund Committee, who along with two other board members review applications for grants from

the Fund bi-annually. “The Sylvan Lake Community Endowment Fund has supported many local initiatives including the outdoor play motor area, Jazz At The Lake, the GetReal Program, the Butt Ugly anti-tobacco program, and the equipment support programs in schools.

“Above and beyond the actual use of the fund people are able to consider making a gift themselves to the endowment fund or consider being a volunteer on the committee.”

Those wishing to apply for the funding available from the endowment must fill out an application form available for download at www.RDDCF.ca.

Applications for the grant are reviewed twice a year in April and October. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

Annual Yuletide Festival in need of Volunteers

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The 4th annual Yuletide Festival is only 22 days away and the organizing committee is in search of a few ‘elves’ to help volunteer.

Event organizers explained the event is approaching closely and is always in need of volunteers for set up/take down, running the Kidz Zone, as well as to help run the raffle tables, and a number of other assorted duties.

Graham Parsons, chair-

men of the Yuletide Festival Committee explained the annual event has grown considerably over the last year, establishing important roots in Sylvan Lake - roots that have helped to foster an immense level of community love and support during the holiday season.

“The whole idea was to put on a really fun community Christmas event.

That was the main focus - we wanted a significant fun community event and when you have Christmas a platform it’s an easy thing

to do,” explained Parsons.

“Just to see everyone in the community together in one place and the smiles on everyone’s faces is incredible and makes all of the hard work worth it, “It’s a great way to kickoff the Christmas season - with the music and all the activity and people supporting a great cause it’s just another way to give back to the community.”

Since the first festival in 2012, the event has supported the Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Centre Fund with over $38,000

being raised during past years.

“Our committee felt the Urgent Care Fund was the one fund that truly benefited the whole community,” said Parsons. “We think our fundraising efforts are only going to continue to grow. All of our sponsors and those who have donated raffle and silent auction items have really just blown me away - despite the economic climate we seem to be going along as good as ever which just goes to show how much the community enjoys this

event.”

The main stage will feature entertainment throughout the event including the school and mass choirs, various local artists, and will end with the Jazz Explosion.

“It’s a great way to kickoff the Christmas season - with the music and all the activity and people supporting a great cause it’s just another way to give back to the community,”said Parsons.

This year’s festival will also include the annual Santa Clause Parade, fire-

works, and Breakfast with Santa.

Organizers wish to thank Canadian Tire - event sponsor, Shopper’s Drug Mart - entertainment sponsor, Servus Credit Union - Kidz Zone sponsor as well as Trilliant Realty Group and Horizon Travel for sponsoring the $2,500 travel voucher.

Those wishing to volunteer for the Spirit of Sylvan Yuletide Festival may call volunteer co-ordinator Megan Chernoff at 403 396 2793.

NexSource Centre construction visible to community

BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The building of the NexSource Centre is making steady progress and is visible to the community as tarps are up and workers are continuously building.

A lot of the framework for the ice portion of the arena is up said co-chair of the NexSouce Centre Fundraising Committee Amy Komarniski.

“It’s starting to look like progress is happening which is nice,” Komarniski said.

She said it is visible where the actual rink is going to be as there is yellow tarp around it and it won’t be long before the foundation will be tied into the building.

It’s hard to see what is happening within the tarped off area but Komarniski said the project is definitely moving along at a steady and visible rate.

What was harder to see was all the work that had to be done underground such as laying and moving utilities. This work had to be done prior to the above ground construction which took a couple months, but now progress can be seen above ground.

“It looked like nothing was

happening in fact there was a lot happening,” Komarniski said. “But now the public can see what is happening progress wise because here on out you can actually see it.”

She said it is exciting for the construction to be at the stage it is because it means the community can be on board with what is going on, and until now, it was just the community hearing about the progress.

“Once you actually get to the point where they are at right now you’ll start to see lots of change,” Komarniski said. “The community needs to see the building being erected to understand that it’s actually happening.”

This is just one of the results of the hard work that has been going on since last spring when they broke ground.

Komarniski said the actual construction has gone very smoothly and even though it may have felt like it took a while to get the building process underway, that time allowed for solid planning to ensure the building would stand strong and for a long time.

“That was a concern brought to my attention at times as we have had a few

facilities who haven’t stood up to the test of time in town,” Komarniski said.

The planning of the project started before the collapse of the previous building as there was a need for more facilities and the arena was not going to last for much longer.

To ensure this building would be different every option was looked at and reviewed and the best one was chosen - one that would be best suited to the community.

“The planning process was long but it allowed the town to look at every different opportunity and option for building and moving forward with the route they felt really comfortable with,” Komarniski said. “There haven’t been a lot of hold ups.”

She said each stage of the construction is being carefully reviewed by service providers to ensure they understand the project.

The whole project is around $31 million and Komarniski said they are not quite 100 per cent to their fundraising goal but are close.

She said there are still new sponsors that have come forward as the project continues to keep moving forward.

Above Ground – Construction of the NexSource Centre is now above ground and visible to the community.

Light of the World When I was young I was afraid of the dark. While I lay in my bed at night I would imagine all of the dark things in my dark closet coming to get me. Where my toy bear was I instead saw a malevolent monster bent on my destruction. Where the shadow of my door on the wall was I instead saw the flickering shadow of a behemoth awaiting its moment to strike. I was afraid of the dark.

When the Bible talks about Jesus as the light of the world, it’s not just a cute metaphor that we can sing songs about and write poems about. The Bible is describing the state of the world before Jesus, and the state of our lives without Jesus. God through His word helps us discern right and wrong, safe and unsafe, scary and tame. And if we don’t have the Light, then the darkness obscures us and the world around us; we end up feeling lost.

But light changes things.

John 1:9 “The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” And what happens when you flood a very dark place with a lot of light? Things become a lot clearer. Messes that could hide in the dark look very dirty in the light. Words that were difficult to read become completely legible in the light. You see people differently, they see you differently too. And ferocious monsters are shown for what they truly are.

The darkness will let you believe that life is about money or popularity or sex or a hundred other things. The light tells you that life is about following Jesus. Tthat light of life that we find in Jesus can be for you too. And He’ll show you the monsters for what they really are.

Sylvan Lake listed in top 12 communities for business Sylvan Lake was recently named by Alberta Venture magazine as one of the ‘Top 12 Great Communities for Business’ in their November edition.

Vicki Kurz, Sylvan Lake’s economic development officer, said the recognition came after years of hard work by the Town.

“We put a lot of time and effort into creating and raising the economic profile and getting our investment attraction and readiness tools in place,” said Kurz during an interview with Sylvan Lake News. “That’s what we’ve been focusing on and it seems like it’s paying off.”

Kurz said over the last two years one of the things she and the Town are most proud of has been the Retail Gap Analysis which identified the types of businesses the town should be trying to attract.

In addition she said the Economic Impact Assessment conducted in 2014 and approved by Council in 2015 really showed the significance of the work they have been doing to attract to new businesses to Sylvan.

“It really tells you where and how we are ranked in the province in terms of and in respect to tourism,” said Kurz. “It was a snap shot in time conducted over July and August of 2014 and it showed we had over 761,000 visitors in those two months and a total economic impact for the year of $75 million.”

She stated most businesses do not look at a town’s quality of life before investing there, but in Sylvan Lake they are seeing many scientific, technical, service types of people moving here and those individuals find it ideal to be half way between Edmonton and Calgary while still having their family in a lake-side community.

In addition, she believes the lake itself plays a large role in their being listed among the top 12 communities, citing an example of two businesses visiting her this week who hope to start more attractions down at the lake.

She noted the 10% growth in population over the last few years has posed a challenge to Sylvan Lake, as they are having to catch up on their infrastructure, but it does tell them that they are an interesting community to those looking to relocate.

“We have a very young population and people must like what we are doing here because they are choosing to move here - so I think that 10% growth rate in population is reflective of the town and what people like about the town,” she said.

Recently, the highlight of Kurz economic development has been in the downtown area. Over the past number of years the Town has invested over $22 million into the downtown zone, and currently Kurz is working with downtown business owners and property owners to revitalize the waterfront commercial district.

“In reality the downtown area did not used to be a very welcoming business community a few years ago,” said Kurz. “This is changing in that everyone has agreed it is time to do what we can to revitalize the downtown.”

In this regard, the town is also offering a $7,500 facade improvement grant to downtown businesses wishing to give the outside of their store front a face lift.

“Council and administration have been very supportive,” said Kurz. “We couldn’t have done this alone and without their support to do the thing we needed to do to make ourselves investment attraction ready and that was critical and it really seems like we’re moving in the right direction.”

“It really is about putting your community on the map - we are trying to promote the town in the best light we can.”

Other communities who made the list include Airdrie, Camrose, Devon, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Leduc Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Newell, Red Deer and Rocky View County.

As the world changes, so too have our Remembrance Day ceremonies. Where as once there were hundreds of seats for World War II and Korean War veterans at services - but a few remain.

One local man aims to ensure the memories of those remaining are preserved eternally and that the sacrifices our countrymen have made to protect our freedoms are remembered.

Allan Cameron, executive director of Veterans’ Voice of Canada aims to ‘Keep History Alive’ and for the last 10 years he has travelled across the country interviewing and recording the stories of nearly 1,000 veterans.

Cameron’s journey began on the shores of Nova Scotia.

As a young boy he would listen to his uncle Perley Cameron tell of overseas war stories.

Following high school Cameron began his videography career at a local community news station.

“People tell me they remember me from a young age talking about wanting to document veterans,” recalls Cameron. “So apparently that desire has always been there - getting into television was probably my subconscious giving me one of the tools I was going to need to ultimately do what I wanted to do.”

It wasn’t long before Cameron began working for Global Halifax and eventually travelled the country for a number of years working as a freelance cameraman and producer for national broadcasters and video production companies.

In 2005, the day finally came he would hang his news hat and don a new cap titled documentarian and historian.

“I used to hear my uncle, who was a World War II veteran tell me it was time for him to tell his story and I missed the chance to document my Uncle Perley. With the rate we are losing our veterans I eventually just knew it was past due for me to start this,” he explained. “We are losing them so fast and in such huge numbers - in 2005 I knew I needed to do this as more than a hobby, “It’s important that it’s done - of those thousand, so many have passed on since I’ve interviewed them.”

He began travelling the country, listening to anyone who would tell their tale. By having them tell their stories and recording them, Cameron has compiled an extensive base of varying aspects from across the spectrum of perspectives that took place during World War II. “History is so important and there are so many different perspectives of the War that need to be documented.

It’s so important because if we don’t document it then it’s gone forever when they pass,” Cameron stated.

PAYING TRIBUTE - Allan Cameron, executive director of Veterans’ Voice of Canada, has travelled the country interviewing nearly 1,000 veterans over the past ten years.

Cameron is also the founder of the Flags of Remembrance tribute which has taken place along Highway 11 for the past two years.

Jenna Swan/Sylvan Lake News Following his interviews with each veteran, he provides each person’s family with a disc containing the unedited interview explaining he feels it is important that families have the discs in their homes as a keepsake for future generations to understand the sacrifices their family members made for freedom.

Currently he is working towards receiving grant funding to hire more editors to help him to trim 1,000 - often multiple hour long interviews - and make them more accessible to the public. Currently there are around 15 edited interviews available to the public at www.vetvoicecan.org. However, Cameron hopes one day they will all be available online.

“Right now it just gives people a taste of what we do, but the whole idea is to get them online into a centralized library, get them into schools and have it used as a public education and accessibility tool,” he said. “My dream is that at some point Legions and schools will take advantage of what we have and use them during Remembrance Day ceremonies because one day these videos will be all we have.”

Another aspect of Cameron’s work is the well known Flags of Remembrance tribute located alongside Highway 11. On Oct. 17th, 2015, Cameron and his team gathered alongside veterans and the community to raise 128 Canadian flags, representing the 128,000 Canadian veterans dead and missing in action. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

We shall never forget lives lost for our freedom, and we will always honour Canada’s men and women of service.

It was a warm summer day. Bill Baird stood in a field beside his school chum, David Kelly, harvesting the crop on their farm near Forrestburg as his family worked nearby. Suddenly, they heard a low buzz humming on the horizon. He recalls never having heard anything quite like it.

Moments later two low flying tiger moth bi-planes flew over head. It was the first airplane Baird had ever seen, but as World War II raged in the world around him - he knew at that moment it wouldn’t be his last.

“I remember my dad saying it looked like an apple box with a motor in it,” recalls Baird. “I’m suprised the things even flew.”

That night, following dinner, he asked to speak with his mom and dad.

“I want to join the air force,” he remembers telling them as a look of worry came across their faces. “My mom said to me she was proud of me wanting to enlist but that I was never to fly an airplane or she would never sleep at night.”

Grudgingly he agreed, and away his parents took

him to Edmonton to enlist at the age of 20.

Baird recollects the enlistees were given a half hour to complete the exam. He finished it in 10 minutes, in that time he did the test twice to verify his answers. He walked to the front of the classroom and handed it in.

“I told him I’d already done it twice,” said Baird.

“So he agreed to mark it early for me and with the time left I could go back and fix any answers - but I never ended up having to fix anything. He came back and said to me as serious as could be, ‘I’m very pleased with your test… you’re going to be a pilot’.

“I just turned to him and said ‘Well no sir, I’m not - I made a promise to my mother’.”

Baird took pride in his intellect, but knew he shouldn’t disobey his mother’s wishes and to this day does not regret his decision to turn down the position. With his intellect and knowledge of machinery from his life on the farm, he was placed as a aeronautic mechanical engineer for the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Following his training in St. Thomas, Ontario he journey to Montreal where he worked on the first Lancaster plane to come to Canada - then, he was off to Europe where he journeyed to England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. It was his sole responsibility to ensure two bombers in his squadron were operational day after day.

During his time over seas, which ranged from 1942 -1946, Comrade Baird saw first hand a number of historical days. On June 30, 1944, he and his squadron approached Juno Beach en route to a forward landing strip near Bayeux.

“There was a rumor there was a 75% casualty rate for the Allies there,” he remembers. “It was so loud you couldn’t hear yourself think, we weren’t into the beach yet - the boats were all firing in and the Germans were up on a bank firing down at the boats.”

“I remember saying to the fellas - it was nice knowing you. I remember landing on the beach, getting the truck off the boat, and shell after shell of artillery going off around us, shrapnel falling all around us. For two months that went on - both sides fired for 23 hours a day, then for one hour a day during the dead of night both the Germans and the Allied boats would stop firing.”

Finally the Allies pushed through and he was off to Belgium for a few weeks.

Then it was off to Holland where his life would change forever. After a few weeks, finally their commanding officer agreed to allow them to journey into the nearest town from their base, Eindhoven.

He and a comrade decided on this particular night to skip the usual show the other members of their squadron were planning to attend and instead opted to find a dancehall.

“We walked in with our rifles, found a table and sat them nearby. We started looking around when we spotted two girls dancing alone,” recalls Baird, stating one was ‘husky’ - the other was smaller, prettier and radiantly glowing as she twirled around the floor. “My friend said, ‘I call the little one’. I turned to him and said ‘Not a chance, I outrank you’ and that was that. Five months later on April 17, 1945 Truce and I were married and we were married for over 60 years.”

The day he met his wife Truce, wasn’t the only exciting day in Eindhoven.

He still remembers New Year’s Day of 1945.

Following weeks of bad weather, the air was finally clear leaving open skies for the Luftwaffe,a German aerial warfare branch, to make their last large scale strategic operation during the war. It just so happened the base they were bombing that day was the one Baird was stationed at. Baird was armed only with his camera that day and took a number of photos as the Germans destroyed their airfield. His photos were later featured in a book titled ‘Bodenplatte: The Luftwaffe’s Last Hope - The Attack on Allied Airfields’.

Following the war Baird, now 93 years old, returned to Canada and has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 69 years. He has recieved the 1939-1945 star, the France and Germany Star, the Defence Medal, the War Medal and the Canada Volunteer Service Medal w/ bar as well as was awarded with the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour.

Ed Mrazek: U.S. Navy

Many thanks to those who fought for the freedoms we enjoy today!

A story from the South Pacific

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The date was December 7, 1941. On this day the history books tell the tale of a giant being awoken. This giant was America. The waker - a barage of bombs dropped on a sleeping island.

Ed Mrazek, originally from Chicago who now lives in Sylvan Lake with his wife Marjorie, remembers the day Pearl Harbour was bombed well. He was attending college at the time and ultimately this was the day that would put the ‘bug in his ear’ to enlist. A few months passed following the bombing and America’s entry into World War II had begun. Mrazek was eager to defend his country so he joined the United States Navy.

He soon found himself on a supply ship in the South Pacific.

“We had secured Guadalcanal and Tulagi - we were moving onto another island invasion,” said Mrazek, now 91 years old, referring to the Guadalcanal Campaign fought between August 7th, 1942 and February 9th, 1943 in which Allied Forces took back Tulagi in the Solomon Islands which was under Japanese control. It was the first major offensive by Allied forces against the Empire of Japan.

“It was between 1 and 3 a.m. when we we got torpedoed and sunk - we spent a few hours in the open waters until we got picked up by a destroyer, everyone made it but the medic who I happened to be talking to at the time whose leg was blown off and bled to death while waiting for help.”

It wasn’t long after this Mrazek heard the Navy was looking for volunteers with extremely strong swimming skills.

“All I heard was it was some so-called ‘secret missions’ and like a dummy I volunteered,” he remembers.

“Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) they called it little did I know I was joining

Jenna Swan/Sylvan Lake News the nucleus of the U.S. Navy SEALs.” The UDT were an elite special-purpose force established by the Navy during World War II and were the precursor to present-day United States Navy SEALs. Their primary function was to observe enemy defensive obstacles and destroy obstacles on beaches prior to landings of the Marines and Army.

Training for the elite team involved two miles of open ocean swimming per day.

During missions, Mrazek and his swimming partner were dropped a mile or more from shore, where they would swim to and from the boat either to recon the area and provide information on obstacles or to deploy explosives.

“Everything in the South Pacific was island hopping - we invaded several islands,” he recalls. “We did some reconnaissance in the Philippines and a pre-invasion in Luzon, Philippines, next we did reconnaissance on Kwajalein, Marshall Islands, “At this time it was all clandestine work, none of it was publicized and we weren’t supposed to talk about it.”

The last mission of

We will not forget

Mrazek’s Navy career was the Battle of Iwo Jima, which took place from February 19th to March 26th 1945.

The major battle saw U.S. Marines land on and eventually capture the island of Iwo Jima from the Japanese. The American invasion had the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields, to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands. This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting in the Pacific in World War II. “While we were at Iwo Jima - we did a bit of damage there. We were on the shoreline doing recon and the Japanese were not very happy to see us and started shooting at us,” said Mrazek. “My swim partner got knicked in the leg and there I was having to drag his butt back to the boat.

“They picked us up on the fly - they had a rubber boat latched on the side of the ship, they threw us a life ring and pulled us in, we pulled ourselves into the rubber boat and they just kept on going.”

The incident earned Mrazek a Bronze Star citation for heroic achievement.

Mrazek recalls the day Allied

forces raised the flags on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima. He remembers watching from a few hundred yards away as the American flag was raised and flew proudly above, adding that flag cost the life of 20,000 Allied casualties.

“After that we headed back to the States because to be climatized as were slated to invade Japan main land - that was to be our next mission. The forecast for invading Japan stated it would cost us more than 1 million casualties,” said Mrazek. “We were all ready to invade Japan when they dropped the atomic bombs.

Everyone said Truman was a nasty man because he did it - but I thought he was a heck of a guy because it meant I didn’t have to go.”

It was eight more months before Mrazek would step foot in Chicago again, but he didn’t mind because he was finally returning home.

Mrazek is currently a member of the Sylvan Lake Legion following his move here with his wife Marjorie and remains an active member of a Legion in Arizona where he and his wife spend their winters.

Why You SHOULDN’T get $1999 Orthodontic Braces From THIS DENTIST… You may have recently heard radio ads about $1999 orthodontic braces and wondered if it would be wise to try to save money on orthodontic care. The answer is sometimes it is better to pay more, but in some cases it is simply a different alternative that isn’t necessarily better or worse. In fact, sometimes even the experts agree it is better to save your money and do the simplest choice.

PRESIDENT OF THE ORTHODONTIC SOCIETY tried to STOP competitor’s advertising?

For almost 10 years a few specialists have been trying to interfere with the advertising of orthodontics by general dentists. There is no state or province in North America that has prevented general dentists from providing braces, but that doesn’t stop certain people from trying. To be fair, there ARE some situations where you should probably ONLY see a specialist. If you need jaw surgery to have an ideal result, and accept the risks of doing this treatment you actually need to see two or three dental specialists plus your general dentist to complete your treatment. If you are especially particular and want to be as close to textbook perfect, then not only should you see a specialist, you should be sure you see a very fussy specialist. Not all specialists are equal.

SAD TRUTH Even specialists are not able to guarantee straight teeth will make you or your child a Hollywood star.

Another reality is while they used to think they could ‘grow lower jaws’ with orthodontic appliances the facts seem to suggest otherwise. Many young teens treated with appliances and Herbst braces simply grew out of their bad bite – and others who were ‘fixed’ were actually only posturing their jaw forward and not really improved. The good news is even if the bones of the jaws are a mismatch- typically the lower being too small to match the upper, it is not a fatal condition. Many people live to be over ninety years old with this kind of bite, but if you are concerned about the retruded profile or other effects, as an adult you may choose jaw repositioning surgery…but the sad truth is no dentist, and not even specialists can actually claim to grow a mandible more than it is programed to do by genetics. It is sometimes better to do little or nothing for a teenager when it is clear they will want jaw surgery later anyway. It is simply not wise to keep braces on for extended periods of time, waiting for the person to stop growing. As a parent you may want to do the best for your child but sometimes that means waiting.

Dental professionals tell you this, but if you don’t really understand you may be wasting your money.

Who wants to be told their child may be better off waiting and choosing jaw surgery when he/she is an adult?

Sometimes it is better to do less and here’s an example: A child was being teased about her ‘buck teeth’ which were spaced out and sticking out of her mouth even when her lips were closed. She clearly needed something done, but it was also obvious she was going to need jaw re-positioning at a much older age to improve her profile. If you watch Dr. Pol the veterinarian on television, you’ll notice his wife has a very small lower jaw. People often look better when their jaws match, but as mentioned, this cannot always be corrected as a teen. What did Dr. Zuk recommend? He suggested not doing what his friend the orthodontist recommended, and instead suggested a very inexpensive, limited orthodontic treatment. With $1999 braces the young girl’s smile would be little better and she wouldn’t be as selfconscious. Spending $7000 would not have corrected the true skeletal problem anyway.

Other situations where ‘$1999 & up braces’ may help teens & adults include mild to moderate crowding, twisting or spacing of the upper teeth- especially when you can’t afford a specialist for comprehensive or ‘full treatment’. Limited treatment often just focuses on making your smile look better and not correcting all the things you could if your budget was higher.

To discover if $1999 orthodontic braces may be right for you or a loved one call today for a consultation with Dr. Michael Zuk, General Dentist, Bower Dental, Bower Mall at (403)347-8008 or visit www.1999Braces.com for more information on the limitations of this treatment.

16 H.J. Cody students in store for ‘experience of a lifetime’

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 16 students from H.J. Cody High School’s French Immersion Program left Wednesday morning on an exchange to St. Tite, Quebec for what the pro-

gram’s co-ordinator called ‘the French learning experience of a lifetime’.

The students’ week long exchange sees them spending a day in Montreal where they will visit a number of historic locations as well as var-

ious government buildings before heading to St. Tite where they will meet their host families and spend the remaining time being fully submersed in Quebecois culture.

speaking English, french immersion teacher for H.J. Cody and exchange co-ordinator, Kelsey Wilson said the experience students will recieve during this exchange is a valuable one.

“This town is 100% Francophone - there are people there who speak English but it is not common to hear,” explained Wilson. “We will be there and speaking French the entire time so the students will learn a great deal and have a great chance to practice their language skills, “In return when the

French students come here they will have a great chance to practice their English so it’s a great trade off.”

She added the experience may be the single best opportunity for her students to practice French and truly hone in on their skills. She explained they will likely learn more in the one week trip than many students learn in three years of language classes.

will visit a number of cultural locations including a stunning Cathedral just outside of the town as well as experience some of the ‘cowboy culture’ the town is known for. In addition they will also visit a waterfall the area is known for and spend a day in classes at the local high school.

As part of the exchange St. Tite students will visit Sylvan Lake in April for a week where they will stay with local families. During their time in Alberta they will have the chance to take in a Calgary Flames game, West Edmonton Mall, Drumheller, and Banff.

Wilson added many of her students are excited to visit these locations also as many of them have never had the opportunity to visit them.

She explained this particular exchange is unique in that students participating do not have to pay for their flights or any transportation to and from the airport as it is funded by a Government of Canada exchange program called Sevec. This unique funding opportunity aims to increase knowledge and understanding of Canada among Canadian youth by enabling them to learn firsthand the history, geography, industry, institutions, cultures and languages of other communities in the country. Wilson explained only about half of the schools who apply for the program are accepted, adding they were very fortunate to have been chosen.

Wilson has been with H.J. Cody for five years now and joined the French Immersion department three years ago allowing her to see first hand the immense benefits of learning other languages.

“In Europe it is rare to find some one who only speaks one or two languages,” said Wilson on the importance of students learning other languages. “Europeans usually start out with 3 or 4 and go from there - but what’s interesting is my students study both French and Spanish they have a huge advantage over other students studying only one or the other because the two languages are so related.

“Learning other languages is a lifelong skill and so important in our increasingly culturally diverse world.”

Annual Yuletide Festival in need of Volunteers

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The 4th annual Yuletide Festival is only 22 days away and the organizing committee is in search of a few ‘elves’ to help volunteer.

Event organizers explained the event is approaching closely and is always in need of volunteers for set up/take down, running the Kidz Zone, as well as to help run the raffle tables, and a number of other assorted duties.

Graham Parsons, chair-

men of the Yuletide Festival Committee explained the annual event has grown considerably over the last year, establishing important roots in Sylvan Lake - roots that have helped to foster an immense level of community love and support during the holiday season.

“The whole idea was to put on a really fun community Christmas event.

That was the main focus - we wanted a significant fun community event and when you have Christmas a platform it’s an easy thing

to do,” explained Parsons.

“Just to see everyone in the community together in one place and the smiles on everyone’s faces is incredible and makes all of the hard work worth it, “It’s a great way to kickoff the Christmas season - with the music and all the activity and people supporting a great cause it’s just another way to give back to the community.”

Since the first festival in 2012, the event has supported the Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Centre Fund with over $38,000

being raised during past years.

“Our committee felt the Urgent Care Fund was the one fund that truly benefited the whole community,” said Parsons. “We think our fundraising efforts are only going to continue to grow. All of our sponsors and those who have donated raffle and silent auction items have really just blown me away - despite the economic climate we seem to be going along as good as ever which just goes to show how much the community enjoys this

event.”

The main stage will feature entertainment throughout the event including the school and mass choirs, various local artists, and will end with the Jazz Explosion.

“It’s a great way to kickoff the Christmas season - with the music and all the activity and people supporting a great cause it’s just another way to give back to the community,”said Parsons.

This year’s festival will also include the annual Santa Clause Parade, fire-

works, and Breakfast with Santa.

Organizers wish to thank Canadian Tire - event sponsor, Shopper’s Drug Mart - entertainment sponsor, Servus Credit Union - Kidz Zone sponsor as well as Trilliant Realty Group and Horizon Travel for sponsoring the $2,500 travel voucher.

Those wishing to volunteer for the Spirit of Sylvan Yuletide Festival may call volunteer co-ordinator Megan Chernoff at 403 396 2793.

Motivational speaker captures audiences’ attention at Lions convention

The Sylvan Lake Lions and District C-1 held their annual convention at the Community Centre this weekend and it was a well attended event.

With attendees traveling from the U.S. and the northern areas, convention chairman Fred Schmaltz said the event went excellent and the turnout was great, as he said it is a new district as of last July and some people are used to their old districts.

A Halloween themed social event went on Friday evening with entertainment and Saturday the voting on policy and the district governing for the coming years took place.

“We had a fun night, we had a Halloween costume theme with probably 70 to 80 per cent participation which I was shocked with,” Schmaltz said.

He said people were dressed up in everything from Tin Man to Miss Piggy, to the Hulk and many others.

“We had games and people participated and it was very successful,” Schmaltz said.

The convention was also filled with several booths such as Lions Quest Canada, Canadian Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centre and STARS. But perhaps the icing on the cake was when motivational speaker Chris Koch got up to share his story.

Schmaltz said this motivational speaker was brought in to encourage people to continue working hard in their lives as he said if there is a need - the club is there to help.

Koch, 36,is a farmer, motivational speaker and traveler and has partial arms and legs, although climbing up the stairs to the stage while carrying his skate board was no problem.

Nor was it a problem to open up a bottle of water or balance his iPhone on half an arm.

Even though Koch is different than the people around him he is very comfortable in his own skin and has the attitude of living life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles he comes across.

Being a motivational speaker and having visited a wide

variety of different places and speaking to a variety of different audiences Koch said he does it because it is fun and because he really loves people.

“Sharing my experiences is a lot of fun,” Koch said. “Getting them to look at life a little differently with a more positive frame of mind and attitude and breaking down people’s misconceptions if they do have any.”

He said he gets stared at all the time, is asked all types of questions and has gotten every reaction imaginable but he is still comfortable in his own skin and with who he is.

People will notice when you are having fun and the big smile on your face more so than the disability you have he said.

A lot of people assume that his life must be really tough or there’s only a few things that he can do - among other presumptions but he said this is far from reality.

“The fact of the matter is it’s far from that,” Koch said. “It’s been an amazing journey, I’ve had a lot of fun and have done some incredible things.

“I have more activities crossed off my bucket list than most.”

Some of the incredible things he has done is travel through Europe where he found people were very kind towards him.

In his speech Koch said you choose whether you decide that having no arms and no legs is a bad hand dealt to you or just another minor obstacle.

You choose the fact that whether or not your car didn’t start this morning is a bad hand or just a minor obstacle, it’s all a choice.

He also said how if you worry about how you look you cheat yourself out of opportunity.

“I am confident and comfortable in my own skin,” Koch said. “I am proud of how I look and I like being different.

We’re all unique and special in our own way.”

Something that may have surprised his audience was how he said he’s more afraid of regret than of failure and he said there’s nothing wrong with failure because at least you’ve tried.

“You get out of life what you put into it,” Koch said. “You put out positivity and kindness and you get that back.” reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

Lakers triumphant in semifinal league game win

BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The Lakers played their semi-final league game against the Camrose Trojans Saturday and won 19-10.

Trojans Michael Davidse was the first to score a 26 yard field goal at 10 minutes and five seconds in the first quarter.

Lakers Dagan Slimmon made a 12 yard field goal in the second quarter at eight minutes and 17 seconds.

Chase Allen then made a touchdown at five minutes and 42 seconds.

At four minutes and 44 seconds of the third quarter Trojans Connor Pearson made a 23 yard touchdown

and at four minutes and six seconds with Caleb Johnson making the last touchdown of the game.

With this being the semi-final league game Lakers head coach Jeremy Braitenback said the game went pretty well as expected.

“We figured it would be a grind, a tight game throughout, and tense - every play could have decided the game, but we will take the win,” Braitenback said. “Our defense played really well keeping them to 10 points today.”

He said the players have improved from the last game, something they are always striving to do no matter what the score of their last

game was.

The players have improved defensively but Braitenback said they still have room for improvement as they ‘gutted it out’ during this game.

Braitenback has been working with the players all season and said everything is going as expected.

Coaching the team he said he can expect highs and lows in player’s performance with some of the players having better years and other players still needing to improve on their playing ability. But all in all he said the team works well together.

“They love being together and that makes a great team and more than anything when times are tough like

Bears triumph over Stettler Panthers in semi-final league playoff win

BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Pather Tackle – Bears players Matthew Workun and Stryder Rumohr work to tackle their opposing Stettler Pathers’ player during the semi-final league playoff game Saturday at H.J. Cody School. Jasmine O’Halloran–Han/Sylvan Lake News

The Bears played their semi-final league game against the Stettler Panthers Saturday and won 28-8.

They are now preparing for their final league game against the Red Deer Steelers next Saturday 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at H.J. Cody School.

If they win this game they will go to the provincial finals.

Winning their semi-final league game wasn’t necessarily a surprise said the team’s head coach Garnet Rambaut as the Bears played the Panthers two weeks previous and won 34-0.

The Bears are known for being an excellent team with a reputation for winning their games but Rambaut said the Panthers scored points when the Bears had made a mistake in a play.

“Things happen in football games,” Rambaut said.

“Mistakes happen, you have to eliminate them or forget about them and go on.”

In the final league game they go against a team that has been undefeated and even though Rambaut said the team doesn’t know much about the Steelers he said they are obviously pretty good as they are undefeated.

He said they know some of the team’s tendancies and that they are a high scoring team as they beat their opponents 32-0 last weekend which is why Rambaut said

he knows the Bears will be in for a real tussle.

“I would like to think it would be a lower scoring game with us coming out on top in the end, but we really don’t know,” Rambaut said. “All we can do is prepare for them the way we’ve prepared for every body else and keep practicing and executing what we do, we can’t worry about what they do.”

He said the skills that the Bears have are a result of a lot of practice and rehearsal as they work on the small drills and develop them into good habits.

The Bears are a well prepared team who play as a team and that’s what is important.

Going up against the Steelers won’t be easy but Rambaut has confidence in his players abilities to win the game.

But nevertheless he will support his players whether they win or lose as he said if they win he will be very happy and if they lose he will still be very proud of them.

“They have had a tremendous season and we’ve played really well over the past two years,” Rambaut said. “I have no complaints at all. I would go to war with these guys any day. We’re very proud of them.” reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

The H.J. Cody School Lakers senior boys volleyball team were successful this past weekend finishing first in their games played at a tournament in Stettler.

They won 3-0 in their round robin play. In the semi finals the Lakers met Spruce View and beat them in two straight sets. In the finals the Lakers beat Heritage Christian Academy and won gold.

Now the Lakers are preparing for a tournament in Calgary this weekend which will prepare them for their zone playoffs the weekend of Nov. 21.

The team’s head coach Wayne Halliday said the boys will be playing against some pretty tough teams this weekend and it will be a good test to see where the team stands.

“After this weekend we will have a pretty good idea of where we’re at,” Halliday said. “To get some of these wins we will know what we need to do to get to the provincials.”

The team will place in first or second for zones and if in first place they will host zones, but if in second place they will probably go to Wetaskiwin.

The senior boys have been playing volleyball together for the last three years and being their final year their goal is to try and make it to the provincials.

“We have a good shot at getting through zones and we’re hoping they get to provincials in Grande Prairie if it all works out,” Halliday said.

He said making it to the provincials isn’t easy and the opportunity is rare to get that far.

This is why it was the goal when the boys started playing together three years ago to make it to the provincials by their final year.

The only way the boys are going to get to the provincials is through a lot of hard work and this is exactly what they are doing as Halliday said the boys work very hard and practice twice a week.

“They are a great bunch of kids with great attitudes,” Halliday said. “They enjoy the game and they just work hard and they want to succeed.”

He said it has been fun to coach the boys as they are goofy, have a sense of humour and a great work ethic.

“They are pretty competitive even in practice with each other,” Halliday said.

“They push each other to do better.” reporter@sylvanlakenews.com
