Charges laid following disturbance on Westview Drive in Sylvan Lake Three charges of theft under $5000 handed out to the accused

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS On the afternoon of Monday, June 20 Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a disturbance on Westview Drive.

The initial call came in from neighbours, who stated they had heard what sounded like a gunshot from somewhere in or around the home.

The area surrounding the home was shut down to the public, with Sylvan Lake RCMP and supporting members securing the area swiftly. They also asked the public to refrain from coming near the area or posting the RCMP’s location on social media until the issue was resolved.

The RCMP’s ‘K’ Division arrived shortly after to assist local members with the investigation, with a tactical operation heading into the area of Westview Drive early in the evening.

This matter ended in the arrest of three individuals and no injuries.

RCMP stated in a press release late Monday evening that an investigation would be carried on throughout the evening and an RCMP presence was seen at the home throughout the day on Tuesday.

Sylvan Lake RCMP concluded their investigation into the disturbance on Wednesday and have since laid charges.

Bradley Douglas Stephenson, 30, of Sylvan Lake has been charged

A member of the RCMP ‘K’ Division gears up on Monday evening near Fox Run School where the organization was stationed.

Local cousins tied for first in bareback division

BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Third generation Laker’s and cousins, Carter McLeod, 16, and Dusty Patapoff, 22, have been bucking big time in the shoots of the Central Alberta Rodeo Association (CARA) this summer.

Not only does the pair compete against one another in CARA’s bareback division - they also take to one another’s sides as team mates in the team roping division.

Currently, both the level of competition and team work are at an all time high for the cousins, after McLeod took home first place at the Eckville Rodeo and Patipoff brought home the win the week before at Alder Flats Rodeo - leaving them tied for first place in the division.

First came Patapoff’s big day. He explains the last ride of the day as a tough one but enough to inevitably take home the win.

“I kinda got tossed off the horse and into the fence,” he explained. “Buggered my ribs up, so I wasn’t able to ride in Eckville.”

This left only McLeod to ride with Patapoff on the sidelines to support his cousin.

Mcleod explained the night as being a tough one to take. Being the youngest rider in the division, with the other riders around him ranging in age from 20-30 years of age, he could feels his nerves begin to rise.

“It was a bit much to bare when they had all gone and I was the last to go,” recalls McLeod. “Having Dusty there made all the difference.”

With the final ride beating McLeod up, he recalls he felt himself slipping slowly from the horse but using his strength he straightened himself, squared up the ride and finished strongly with a score of 67.

“I really wanted to do it for Dusty since he was out for that one – I really wanted to bring home the buckle,“ said McLeod. “It felt really good to have won and so close to home because I knew a lot of people there.”

The remainder of the season will see the pair battling it out on the broncs, with rodeos in various locations each weekend until the finals take place at Bowden in the middle of August.

“It’s quite a heavy competition right now,” said Mcleod’s mother, Sandra. “They’re just going into it full force - it’s quite remarkable they’re pulling this off with it and they are doing quite well.”

“Then you throw in the team roping - they’re not winning in that event but it keeps them fit and makes them work together because in bareback they are competing against each other.”

Despite the high level of competition, the cousins say they will always be a team in both bareback and roping.

They train together at a local gym multiple times per week as well as ride and rope together.

The pair agree they wouldn’t be at the level they are without the other one their to encourage and support them every step of the way.

They add their goal is to make four wins this season – ultimately they’d like more – but four first place rides will get them the chance to ride in the novice bareback division of the Calgary Stampede. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

Changing ‘O’Canada’ is a no-brainer Creating a more inclusive society can be a gimme sometimes “In all thy sons command” Five words have started a national debate over whether our national anthem “O’Canada” is inclusive enough because of only including the word “sons”.

The song, commissioned in 1880 by the Lt. Governor of Quebec for St. Jean Baptiste Day and rewritten many times until the current popular English version was wrote in 1908 by Robert Stanley Weir, has been altered twice – the most recent being in 1980.

However, it appears this time people who ascribe to more traditionalist views are particularly appalled that anyone would want to change these five words to “In all of us command.”

According to an email sent by the office of Minister of Parliament from Red Deer - Mountainview Earl Dreeshen, over 86 per cent of respondents in a 2010 poll were not in favour of altering the words to

“O’Canada”.

This is a significant majority, however, the numbers here could be misleading due to the way polls operate and also considering how intricacies of power come into play when it comes to marginilized communities.

The simple use of the word “sons” on the surface does not seem like a huge issue, however it could represent a micro-aggression against communities of people - notably females, the LGBTQ community and anyone else who might not identify as a son in the way the song currently describes it.

A micro-aggression is “the everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults – whether intentional or unintentional – which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative mes-

sages to target persons based solely upon their marginSYLVAN alized group memLAKE NEWS bership,” according to pyschologytoday. com.

Why would it be important to limit micro-aggressions against particular community? Because these are people that have to deal with the disadvantage of not being male, Caucasian and/or wealthy on a daily basis and often deal with much larger issues of wage differences, bigotry and violence to name a few.

By limiting how our societal systems insult marginalized communities, we can create a more open and inclusive society that lives up to the multicultural mosaic that Canadian dogma hails us to be.

There is an argument to be made that “sons” is a term re-

TODD COLIN VAUGHAN

ferring to the brave men that travelled overseas during the First and Second World Wars, however given that this song was popularized in 1908 – its hard to put those aspects together.

Furthermore, it is also a poor suggestion to say that only males at war sacrificed during war time, as the efforts of women were significant not only in Europe, but also keeping households together and the thousands that took up trades and jobs during an era where female employment was a rarity and even looked down upon.

It is very important to many to hold on to a sense of nationalism and in most cases – that is perfectly acceptable. However, if changing five words could even in the slightest way possible make a marginalized community feel more welcome in our country – is there really any harm?

Local wrestler looks to make home town proud CWC brings pro wrestling to Sylvan Lake Community Centre TODD COLIN VAUGHAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Just trying to do the family proud.

On the day after Canada Day – local wrestler and allaround good guy T.S. Cutler- will enter the squared-circle to grapple with Xander Price – a resident of Las Vegas, Nevada looking to “hit the jack pot by beating the hometown boy,” according to CO of Operations, Mr. Featherstone.

The match is just one of the main events featured at the seven-event Maple Leaf Mayem at the Sylvan Lake Community Center at 5:45 p.m. The event is being hosted by the Canadian Wrestling Coalition, who has been getting hundreds of fans off their seats for over a year now.

“The Canadian Wrestling Coalition is a Central Alberta based company,” Featherstone said. “We are just trying to bring back that old-school style of wrestling.

“We try to make it family-friendly, but we are always trying to push the envelope and make sure we get a reaction and that everyone goes home happy.”

To properly prepare for the event, the performers – including heavyweight champion Shaun Martens and his challenger Johnny Kickass – train over 10 hours per week.

Kickass, who according to Mr. Featherstone is an “up and comer”, is looking to dethrone Martens who has allegedly “lied, cheated and stole” his way to the top of the CWC. “It’s a classic good versus evil match,” Featherstone said.

Local wrestler T.S. Cutler will look to make Sylvan Lake proud at the Community Centre on July 2.

The event not only promises to thrill; it also is in support of the MS Society of Canada – where proceeds will be donated to help fund Multiple Sclerosis research.

For pro wrestlers, according to Featherstone, countless hours not only go into physical skills – but also the public perception you bring in from the crowds.

“Some of the guys have been working on it for 20 years,” he said. “We are trying to bring out who people really are. There is no way to make a character – they just become themselves over a long process.

“It really is just figuring out who they are and then just turning it up to 11.”

The CWC has also grown and developed over time, with early shows last year being more intimate settings with 40-50 fans attending – to now where gyms will be packed with upwards of 400 people.

“No matter what, we are going out there and trying to get a reaction from fans and get them into our corner,” Featherstone said. “More people and more pressure.”

Other matches of the night include former CWC Heavyweight Champ Jack Pride retuning to the ring after going MIA after his loss to Dylon Stone back in April and a special flag match where competitors have to pull either the American or Canadian flag down from the rafters.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and more information can be found at cwcwrestling.com.

Featherstone added that they are looking forward to bringing “entertainment and a fun time into the community of Sylvan lake. reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

• Drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated.

• Do not leave any person or pet inside a closed vehicle for any amount of time.

Even minutes of high-temperature exposure can be harmful or deadly.

• Apply a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 at least 20 minutes before heading outdoors. Be sure the product blocks both UVA and UVB rays, and reapply frequently (as directed on product label).

• Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses (with a UVA/UVB CSA-certified seal).

• Wear light-coloured, longsleeved shirts and pants, and seek shade.

• Monitor yourself and your loved ones for symptoms of heat stroke or exhaustion, including high body temperature, lack of sweat, confusion, fainting, and unconsciousness. Seek medical attention immediately for anyone feeling faint.

Because excessive heat can aggravate underlying medical illness, such as congestive heart failure, and can be dangerous for children and seniors, vigilance is urged for these vulnerable individuals, as well as outdoor workers and those who are socially isolated. Individuals who are socially isolated may not be able to easily seek help, or be able to monitor their own symptoms. Be a good neighbour and check on your vulnerable community members regularly.

Albertans are also reminded to keep an eye out for heat warnings. Heat warnings are issued by Environment Canada and posted online.

Sylvan Lake RCMP investigate a fatal boating accident

BY SYLVAN LAKE NEWS STAFF On Wednesday, June 15 shortly before 6 p.m. Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a request for assistance in locating a missing boater on Sylvan Lake.

A male had rented a boat in Sylvan Lake just prior to noon and was last observed alive at 3:15 p.m. by an employee of the boat rental company. At 4:50 p.m. an employee found the boat abandoned on the north remote shore of Sylvan Lake. An immediate search of the lake was conducted by the RCMP utilizing the RCMP boat.

Within a short period of time the missing boater was located in the water in a remote location. The boater was pulled from the lake by members of the RCMP to a location suitable for EMS to perform life saving efforts.

These attempts were unsuccessful and the victim, a 70 year old male from Alberta was pronounced deceased at the scene. The family has been advised.

The RCMP are assisting the Medical Examiners Officer in Calgary as to the cause of this event.

At this time, the event is not believed to be suspicious.

Flag-waving Lions Club brings the maple leaf to Grade 1 classes TODD COLIN VAUGHAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The true north strong and free has a strong class of rookies coming in.

On Monday, June 20, Grade 1 students at C.P. Blakely, Our Lady of the Rosary and Ecole Steffie Woima were visited by volunteers from the Sylvan Lake Lions Club who came bearing the gift of Canadian flags and a little Canadiana knowledge.

Lions Club Foundation President Dave Leshchyshyn, who volunteered at the event, was happy to the smiling faces in the classrooms.

“It’s great to let them know about Canada and why they should be proud of their country,” he said. “We are a very generous country, a very welcoming coun-

try.”

He added that it is rewarding and surprising to see the amount of knowledge that such young students already know about their country.

“We had this one young gentleman who already knew we have a prime minister and not a president,” he said. “It’s being taught in schools and it is encouraging to see what these kids already know.”

The program, which is a “Canada-wide initiative from St. John’s to Victoria”, hands out about 40,000 flags and information certificates to students and is intended to create a sense of national pride and education.

According to Leshchyshyn, the program also helps the Lions Club achieve one of their key mandates which is to promote and empower youth.

“Our members love to be around children and see their smiling face and answer the questions they may have,” he said. “We love working with kids” He added that he would like to thank all the schools that let them come in and appreciates that they were able to coordinate the event despite the busy school schedules that come at the end of June. reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

Peter Moir of the Sylvan Lake Lions Club brought Canadian Flags to Ms. Diachuk’s Grade 1 class on Monday, June 20.

Javelins, bouncy castles and high jumpers Mother Teresa hosts Sports Day to de-stress TODD COLIN VAUGHAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS When is the cut off for the Rio Olympics again?

On Friday, June 17 – Ecole Mother Teresa rewarded their students for a year of hard work with a fun-filled Sports Day complete with games, activities and friendly completion. The events ranged from traditional track and field events like javelin and high jump, to more funbased activities like water relays and bouncy castles.

Miriam Hick, a teacher at Mother Teresa, was pleased with the results of the day saying that the “day couldn’t be better” and that they had “amazing warm weather.”

“The way the day develops is that the students are put into smaller groups and then we assign a colour to the group,” she said. “We rotate the colour groups throughout the day.

She added that the day couldn’t have been possible

Pointy sticks - The javelin event had kids pointing to the skies. one at Ecole Mother Teresa was “very thankful for all the volunteers and all those

their time.

This came right in the nick of time, as students have been pushing hard all year in their classes to succeed

academically.

“It is a de-stressor because all of the students have gone through tests and final projects,” Hick said. “The day helps them relieve some that stress through the physical activity.”

Although the object of the day was to help calm the nerves, it was still important that the students challenged themselves.

“Everyone is a winner,” she said. “We want people to give their best effort and we want them to be competitive with themselves.

Lions send four O-linemen to provincials TODD COLIN VAUGHAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS The future is bright for Central Albertan football, as four Lion’s football players have made the Zone 4 Summer Games football team.

Ardan Kasha (guard), Brody Duperon (guard), Jacob Weller (tackle) and Tristan Loewen (center) made up 80 per cent of coach Victor Sloboda’s offensive line and will all be playing together for the Central Alberta team at zones.

“The advantage of having four of them from the same team is that they already know each other – they know their tendencies; they know their weaknesses; they know how to help each other and know how to support each other,” Sloboda said.

He added that after many years of coaching, the regular zone team is usually only made up of one lineman from each team in Central Alberta, so it is very rare indeed to have four of the five line positions made up of Lions players.

“That’s pretty special,” he said. “I don’t know if that has ever happened before to have four guys on a all-star team like that.”

“I COULD EASILY SEE CIS FOR THESE GUYS” – COACH VIC SLOBODA According to their coach, Kasha, Duperon, Weller and Loewen are finding success both on and off the field.

“They are just really solid young men – that is what you find about the guys that start advancing and making all-star teams,” Sloboda said. “I couldn’t speak highly enough about those four guys.”

The Zone 4 team will compete in provincials in Leduc and will be lucky to have four guys that push each other, according to Coach Sloboda.

“They have played three years together,” he said. “They push each other to do the right thing and that is really encouraging.”

Having four guys who are so in tune with each is a real bonus for their quarterbacks and running-backs, although they may not have noticed at the time.

“I don’t think they realized what they had last year because you didn’t hear them talk about it,” Sloboda said. “It’s only now that they realize what they had. They realize it was something special.”

Offensive linemen Brody Duperon, Ardan Kasha, Tristan Loewen and Jacob Weller of the Lions Football club will all be competing with the Zone 4 team at provincials.

PROVIDED BY LIONS FOOTBALL CLUB With Weller playing for Notre Dame in Red Deer in next year, Loewen playing for H.J. Cody and Kasha and Duperon returning to the Lions – Coach Sloboda sees a bright future not only for these four boys, but for football in Central Alberta.

“For years, Central Alberta was this wasteland where no one ever went to CIS – no one ever took notice of them,” he said. “The quality of coaching and the quality of players coming out of Central Alberta now is really making people stop and make note.

“That’s what I hope for these guys – that someone stops and takes notice.

He added that he could easily see all four of these guys playing CIS one day.

“They are passionate for the game and they are passionate about their academics,” he said. “The knowledge they have of the game is an attribute to there ability to study and be academically strong.” reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

Nauticals compete in Victoria PROVIDED BY NAUTICALS SWIM CLUB Sylvan Lake Nauticals make waves in Victoria.

The Sylvan Lake Nauticals attended the 13th annual Wavemaker Classic swim meet in Victoria BC. This was a special event for the club designed to grow and learn as a team with 22 swimmers of all ages and abilities attending and all had a fabulous time. The team experience of travelling, dining, staying in the same location and team building on deck was a first for many of the swimmers.

This was a true team event, and listing 22 swimmer’s personal accomplishments would fill the article in itself.

There were of course many amazing individual swims, improvements in technique, best times achieved, finals made and cheer worthy races, but the team spirit was the highlight of the event. This was best witnessed during several of the relay events, as we had many swimmers competing in their first ever team relays.

The Sylvan Lake Nauticals pause for a photo at the 13th annual Wavemaker Classic swim meet in Victoria, BC. Photo Submitted

There were 3 relay events including the 400 free, 200 free and 200 team medley. The Nauticals were represented 12 times in relay events in multiple age categories and every single team exceeded expectations. The 10 and under team of Nate Bahler, Liam Ewanchuk, Travis Lorenz and Reelan Baker took home the 3rd place ribbon in the 200 free and 200 team medley relays. In the 15 and over age group the team of Matthew Gauthier, Tyler Gauthier, Noah Andrews and Isaac Bahler took the 3rd place ribbon in the 400 free relay. The girl’s teams faced tough competition, but raced hard and finished with best times in every event.

Following hot on the heels of some great swimming, the team now gears up for the NCSA Corral Classic in Calgary and the Alberta Summer Games Trials. Cheer on our swimmers trying to swim their way onto the Zone 4 team as well as those gunning for Provincials, Senior Provincials and Nationals!

Buc’s stay undefeated Improve to 4-0 - tied for first the Bucs were victorious with a convincing 65-3 win. They are tied for first in the AFL with a 4-0 record (Calgary Gators are 4-0 as well).

Looking forward, the Bucs have a long road ahead of them before they compete for the AFL championship.

While they have had success in the first half of the season, they cannot rest on their laurels. “We need to clean up the little things. Penalties are killing us; we have to be the more disciplined team going forward. We have the pieces but we have a long way to go.” The Bucs enter a bye week

Buc’s quarterback Brandon Leyh dodges the other team’s defense in a recent match.

where they can practice, rest, and heal any injuries. Their next game is set on July 9th in Calgary against the Wolfpack.

During the Bucs’ bye week, the team is holding a fundraiser for their

National Championship aspirations. Big Bend Market in Red Deer is donating a portion of all sales on June 25th to the pirate squad. Not only will customers enjoy Big Bend’s gourmet meat,

they will be helping the Bucs immensely.

HOLE IN ONE

Photo submitted

SUBMITTED BY TODD LEWIS The Central Alberta Buccaneers hopped on the bus for their first long road trip of the 2016 season. They were matched up against the 2-0 Lloydminster Vandals both teams hoped to remain undefeated at the final whistle.

The Buccaneer offense wasted little time getting rolling; after the initial kickoff, the pirate O needed only two plays before they found that Vandal endzone. It wouldn’t be the last. “I thought we made a lot of big plays on the offensive side of the ball,” said Buccaneer QB, Brandon Leyh.”We have a ton of playmakers; it seems

like only a matter of time until one of them break one loose.”

While the Buc offense was firing on all cylinders, their defense was slow to start. The Vandal offense was able to run the ball deep into Buc territory several times in the first quarter. “Lloyd came out really hard.

I think we were taken back by it to be honest.

They hit hard throughout the game,” said Leyh.

However, the Vandals early momentum was slowed each time and they were limited to a single field goal. The Buccaneer defense rallied for the remainder of the game and played with more consistency.

After the final whistle,

Obituaries PARISH Jennifer Lynne 1970 ~ 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jennifer Parish of Pincher Creek on June 12, 2016. Jennifer was born to Joan Goddard and Ugo Musa in Calgary. She graduated with honours in commercial baking from SAIT. She had a lifelong love of animals, enjoyed horseback riding and adopted as many stray animals as she was allowed. She also enjoyed skiing and hiking in the mountains, but her greatest joy was her three boys. Jennifer married Michael Parish and had her first son Andrew in 1991. In 2002 she and Rob became partners and were blessed with two sons; Tristan and Ashton. Jennifer will be lovingly remembered by her partner Robert McCallum; her three sons Andrew, Tristan and Ashton; her mother Joan Goddard and many dear friends.

Jennifer was predeceased by her father Ugo in 2010. A Memorial Service was held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church on Saturday June 18, 2016 at 11:00am with Reverend Silvano Vargas officiating. Memorial donations in Jennifer’s name may be made directly to the Canadian Mental Health Association - Alberta Division (320 Ledgeview Business Centre, 9707 - 110 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2L9) or to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre C/O Alberta Cancer Foundation (1331 29 Street NW, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N2).

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Taste the difference quality makes I think that was part of an old TV commercial for a few different brands over the years, but the fact remains - you can taste the difference.

This idea came to me from having just spent a weekend with family near the city I grew up in, Fort St John. My brother’s daughter just graduated high school and after the official ceremony, there was to be a family party. For over two days the family prepared food and it really hit home for me about quality.

My brother prepared spare ribs for the occasion but he didn’t just go to the store, buy some pre-made ribs and heat them up on the day of the party. Nope.

A full day before hand, he started the prep work. They made spice mix and sauce, then the night before the party he smoked the ribs in a special oven for four hours, using a hickory wood for aroma and flavour. He then slow roasted the ribs the next day for hours, paying special attention to time and temperature, as well as basting them constantly in sauce. After all of that, they were amazing.

They also prepared salmon and halibut that they had caught last fall on a fishing trip to the coast. With the special spices

and hours my brother spent removing cooking egg yolks and maple syrup among bones, adding lemon sauce and butter other things. Real cream, real eggs, sugar, - the result he had created was a total real vanilla etc. The taste wasamazing taste sensation and rich full flavor, not to and worth the effort.

The point of all this is mention quality nutrition. that you can really taste My brother’s wife spent nearly every free space of the difference and as a society we have gotten so far time in the evenings after work making sauces, dips, away from this. We have lost quality for the sake of deserts and more for the party - cutting fruits and convenience and it is tragic, not only from a taste vegetables, whipping up dips and more. Have you position, but quality and purchased a pre-cut tray nutrition.

I posted a video on of fruits lately? They taste odd don’t they? That’s Facebook last week after being disappointed by the because they are coated in a preservative to give farmer’s market – because all of the booths I went to them longer shelf lives. had pies made with marUnderstandable, but makgarine. I commented that ing it fresh is the way I prefer.

Given the thou- vanilla, chocolate, coconut, espresso sands of views, likes and shares the video and maple walnut. We are talking about got, I know I am not alone here.

Quality matters. The problem is we custom making the maple flavor by slow

want quality, but we are all so busy and we fail to put a high enough priority on quality food. As a society, we are paying the price.

Our latest fitness challenge had all real food in it with dozens of recipes. Yes, it was a challenge and a lot more work to prepare than we have become used to, but for those that did it, the results were stunning and the feedback on taste was all thumbs up.

I believe in having a cooking day once a week where I barbecue a bunch of steak and chicken, make a big batch of chili and prepare a bunch of healthy snacks like caveman granola or healthy trail mix.

Then not only is it handy, it is healthy and good for me.

When I go out I am willing to pay more for real ingredients if I can’t make the food properly myself. The big stores might have stuff that looks like grandma’s home cooking or even have a catchy slogan that says it is just like it, but when I read the ingredients, my answer is: no thanks. I am more valuable than that. I am worth real food. So are you.

Happy Training!

Scott
