Surrounded by students of Poplar Ridge School, students Kyle Belich and Emma Belich presented a cheque for $1,100 to Eric Rajah of A Better World while joined by student teacher Heidi Mallard who helped Grade 5 students organize a garage sale which raised the money. It will be used for irrigation pumps in Africa to help people grow food. STEVE DILLS
Students surpassed goal; raised $1,100 for irrigation pumps in Africa by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News
Their initial goal was $200. But students at Poplar Ridge School surpassed that by more than five times, raising $1,100 for A Better World. Kyle Belich and Emma Belich, on behalf of classmates, presented a cheque to Eric Rajah, co-founder of the humanitarian organization last Tuesday. Student teacher Heidi Mallard, said part of her course work at Canadian University College in Lacombe, included doing a ser-
vice project. “I’m big into missions,” she said. She hoped they could raise enough for one irrigation pump for a community in Africa — $200. But once the garage sale she and Grade 5 students organized was over, their total was $1,100. Lots of people contributed. One of the things Mallard used to motivate the students was getting them to carry a huge bucket of water “to give them an idea how hard kids have to work”. Carrying the bucket of water signified what African youngsters would have to do, sometimes more than once a day, just to survive.
Rajah thanked the students and staff profusely. “I’m always happy to come to talk to children,” he said, noting it’s the children he thinks about when he travels to Africa. “Africa means lots of fine children, good children, who need schools. “When we put in an irrigation pump it can provide water to grow crops,” Rajah said, showing a picture of the stair-stepper type pumping mechanism that draws water out of a well. Rajah said they like to provide a garden right behind each school they built. “A lot of children come to school without much
food. If they have good food they can study better. We’re not only going to help feed them, but we help them learn.” Asked the greatest need he sees in the parts of Africa he works, Rajah suggested they could find a small school to adopt and write letters back and forth. Or desks are $30 each and seat four children. Usually books are shared among those four people so there’s a need for more books. Water and water storage tanks are other priorities. Rajah answered a variety of questions from the inquisitive students who attended the presentation.

Plans for park in Ryders Ridge area will involve public input, open houses by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News
Residents in the south end of Ryders Ridge will have several chances to provide ideas for development of a large community-wide park area in their neighbourhood. Councillors passed first reading of a bylaw to amend the Ryders Ridge plan area to change zoning on the park area in the southwest corner from Urban Reserve to Public Facility. A public hearing on the change was set for May 27.
“Public Facility land use will facilitate registration of the parcel and Municipal Reserve, thereby protecting its purpose and transfer of ownership to the municipality,” said Tim Schmidt, the town’s director of planning and development. “To qualify as Environmental Reserve (ER) the area must be a swamp, gully, ravine, watercourse or substantial slope,” he said. “… The presence of trees does not constitute qualification of ER.”
His report noted that plans to date envision the area as a portion of a larger 10 plus acre passive recreation area spanning across Ryders Ridge, The Vista in Ryders Ridge and Crestview neighbourhoods. No intensive recreational facilities are planned for the area. The process for refining the park design (after the land use amendment is passed) includes circulating and making public design options that are based on public feedback and current plans; a public open house for resi-

dents and groups to share their thoughts and help define the area in more detail; and the revision of the design into one or more options followed by another open house and their approval by council, Schmidt’s report stated. Councillor Laverne Asselstine who had raised concerns before about future plans, thanked Schmidt for his work. He then suggested when the town is dealing with issues such as this, that tend to be controversial, they should post the complete staff report on the town’s website for people to read. “Hopefully that would satisfy some people out there who are concerned about this.” He added there aren’t too many issues that attract the same amount of interest. “I want to make sure we can involve as many people as possible,” said Councillor Sean McIntyre.

Income tax only a portion of a Canadians total tax bill The average Canadian family faced a tax bill of $31,615 in 2012 against income of $74,113 Unless analyzing tax policy is part of your day job, you likely avoid thinking about what ultimately can be a polarizing topic. But with the deadline for filing our income tax returns around the corner, we’re all forced to at least temporarily think about taxes. The deadline, after all, is a sharp reminder of how much income tax we paid throughout the year. While some gladly pay their share – thinking of the numerous government programs these tax dollars finance – others feel their income tax burden is too high. No matter where you fall in this debate, to truly gauge whether you’re getting value for your tax dollars, you must have a complete understanding of all the taxes you pay – In addition to income taxes. For that you must look beyond your income tax returns because income taxes form only a portion of the total tax bill imposed on us by all levels of govern-
ment (federal, provincial, and local). According to our calculations, a Canadian family with average income of $74,113 paid $9,195 in income taxes in 2012. While personal income taxes are the single largest type of tax paid by families, they represent less than one-third of the total. Two other significant taxes on our tax returns are premiums for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI). In addition, residents of British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec pay health care taxes either through direct premiums or payroll taxes. All together, the average Canadian family paid some $6,769 in CPP, EI, and health taxes in 2012. Payroll taxes are second only to income taxes as the single largest government levy. Next up are sales taxes, which many of us hate since they show up every time we make a purchase. Calculating the amount of
by Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios Special to Sylvan Lake News
sales taxes paid by Canadian families is difficult as it requires people to track all their purchases of taxable goods and services. Nonetheless, our estimates suggest the average Canadian family paid about $4,812 in sales taxes last year. Property taxes are no more popular than sales taxes and add $3,607 to the average family’s tax bill. A common misconception is that only homeowners pay property taxes. But renters also pay these taxes since they are rolled into their monthly rent. In one form or another, we all pay property taxes. We’re not done yet. There are a host of less visible taxes that Canadians pay but do not see. For instance, the average Canadian family paid approximately $3,302 in profit taxes in 2012. Taxes
on liquor, tobacco, and amusement amounted to $1,680 for the average Canadian family, while automobile and gas taxes totalled about $791. Finally, families paid $1,457 in other taxes that are not easily discernible (think: import duties). Summed up, the average Canadian family faced a tax bill of $31,615 in 2012 against income of $74,113. That means 42.7 per cent of the family’s budget went to paying for government. For perspective, in that same year 36.9 per cent of the budget went to paying for food, clothing, and shelter combined. Indeed, families now pay more in taxes that they do for basic necessities. And it doesn’t end there. Most federal and provincial governments are running budget deficits, meaning that current taxes do not cover current government spending. With these budget deficits, Canadian governments of today are putting off tax bills that will
inevitably come due. Including deferred taxation (deficits) raises the total tax bill by an additional $2,417 to $34,032. This year’s tax deadline will bring mixed views on the appropriate level of income taxation in Canada. But it’s critical for everyone to realize that the taxes delineated on their income tax returns are only part of the total they pay. With a more complete understanding of the total tax bill, taxpayers can better assess whether they are receiving value-for-money in terms of the services they receive from government. Armed with this knowledge, we can hold our governments more accountable for the resources they extract. Charles Lammam and Milagros Palacios are economists with the Fraser Institute.

Two-storey garage suites too large, will have cancerous effect on neighbourhood Dear Editor, A small group of residents attended the town council meeting on Mar. 25 and voiced concerns about “garage suites” to Mayor Samson and town councillors; to date we have not received a reply. Rather than waiting for them, I felt it beneficial to openly address the readership of the Sylvan Lake News, explain the matter of contention and give opinions to possible solutions. Could I issue a challenge to everyone reading this letter? The weather is warming up and the lake has not opened up yet. Take a walk or a drive to Ryders Ridge, Ramsay Link specifically and personally see what I am talking about. Everyone needs to know what garage
What’s wrong with this picture. Residents say the two-storey garage suite (in the centre of the picture), built right at the back of the lot of the house on the right, is too big for the neighbourhood. As well, windows face into the yard across the alley (on the left) and not into its own yard. It’s one of two that are under construction on Ramsay Link in Ryders Ridge. STEVE DILLS
suites are. (I have no issue with the main houses on the properties, only that the garage
suites are too high in comparison to the rest of the area housing.) Contrary to what
Falcon Homes considers to be the latest in award-winning housing, they have a cancer-
ous effect on the surrounding neighbourhood. Whether you agree or disagree, voice
your opinion to Mayor Samson and councillors by telephone or email. Write a letter in the local paper, talk to Falcon and the other builders. One of our declarations to town council was how the two garage suites were approved. Due to this being a building application from a list of 18 discretionary uses allowed, letters describing the application (garage suite) were sent to landowners within 50 metres. I personally know that there were four affected residents who expressed their concerns, objected to the application and returned it within the allowed time. I am not certain how the planning group or town communicated back to them. Continuted on page 5

Two-storey garage suites too large... Continued from page 4 One day when we receive a letter it probably will be something to the effect the process is a town hall meeting, would have to be held, etc., etc. When people object and still have to further back up their claim, is this not a form of bullying in order to get your own way? NO means NO. There are eight lots including two bare lots surrounding #3 and #4 Ramsey Link. It is just my guess that each adjacent property will suffer a $50,000 loss in value due to the garage suite. This is the good news! The bad news is that due to the garage suite next door, the property
becomes unsellable. Then residents are taking even more of a loss — if they are lucky to find a buyer. The apparently value of each garage suite is $87,450. The question I ask is why should $175,000 in real estate cause the area to suffer $400,000 in property losses? On the town website, Land Use Bylaw #155/2010 section 4.5.3 states “The development authority may approve an application for a development permit … if in the opinion of the Development Authority (a) the proposed development or subdivision would not: (II) materially interfere with or affect
the use, enjoyment or value of neighbouring parcels of land; …” In my opinion the best solution would be to rescind the garage suite permit to Falcon Homes and change it to a rear detached garage only, with roof height comparable to the area. I want to be clear that I am not personally attacking the mayor or councillors on this issue; we all have made mistakes in life. I am supportive of Sylvan Lake and Ryders Ridge; it was and still can be the best subdivision in the province. After approval of #3 and #4 Ramsey, there has been no new construction in the immedi-

ate area. I feel if the garage suites are not modified, this area will look like a subdivision in a community that has gone from “boom to bust”. This subdivision will remain incomplete, especially when newer subdivisions open up in the very near future. The problem is still repairable! I admonish you, Mayor Samson and town councillors, please do not get defensive or protective over the decision to approve these garage suites. Please look at the whole picture and think this through carefully, make a decision that is in the best interests of the taxpaying residents of Sylvan Lake.

The accident was midday at the lights by the No Frills parking lot and involved a black Dodge truck and a smaller SUV as they each turned to go east on 47th Ave. from opposite sides of the intersection. There were vehicles at the lights but no one stopped. We need to find someone that witnessed this accident that can confirm how it happened because the police did not attend and the other driver has changed his story. Please contact us at 403-728-3017.

Ambulance arrived in 15 minutes: Alberta Health by Paul Cowley Black Press
Alberta Health Services says dispatch records show an ambulance arrived to help a man in Sylvan Lake who had collapsed and later died in 15 minutes, not the nearly half hour a local resident claims.
“We know that the initial response did take 15 minutes,” said Lyle McKellar, executive director EMS Central Zone. “We are certainly able to track the time the calls came in to the 911 centre, to the time the ambulance is dispatched to the time the
Film society’s season finale Hyde Park on Hudson by Corrie Brown Special to Sylvan Lake News
Join us at Landmark Cinemas for the last movie of the Sylvan Lake Film Society’s 2013 winter season. Hyde Park on Hudson, starring Bill Murray and Laura Linney, details the historic pre-war weekend in 1939 when England’s King George VI and Queen Consort Elizabeth came calling on U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at his upstate New York manor house, at the same time as the president started to become especially close to his distant cousin, Margaret “Daisy” Suckley. Linney is marvelous as Daisy, both outsider and confidant, while Murray channels his inimitable persona into a remarkable evocation of this largerthan-life figure, according to Alliance Films. The film society will return in September with a new season and great new movies. We look forward to seeing you all back in the fall!

ambulance arrives on scene.” Garry Virag, who went public with his concern about the length of time it took for an ambulance to arrive after the Mar. 19 incident in Ryders Ridge, disagrees the ambulance was there that soon. “That’s impossible, “ he said. “I know what 15 minutes is. I know time sees to drag when something like this happens. It was way more than
15.” Virag said a man who had been shovelling snow had collapsed and stopped breathing on Mar. 19. Residents went to his aid and performed CPR on the man until help arrived. The man, who had been visiting family, later died. A cellphone held by one of those who came to help the unconscious man showed it was 27 minutes before the first of two ambulances
arrived, he said. McKellar said it is “highly unlikely” that the automated dispatch system would be in error. Alberta Health Services is still reviewing why it took 15 minutes for the ambulance, which was in Sylvan Lake when the call came in, to arrive on scene. “That’s really what
we’re trying to understand now,” he said. There was some difficulty finding the address on Rafferty Court, which is a new part of town about a year old. “Our investigation has revealed it has been a difficult address to locate and now we’re trying to understand why that is the case.”
Alberta Health Services will look at what maps are available, what directions may have been given by dispatch or the 911 caller and other factors. The street is so new it did not show up on the GPS in the ambulance. Health officials plan to interview Virag as part of their review.

NOTICE: Important changes to garbage collection are coming! What changes? The town will be switching to automated garbage collection.

Due to the growth of the town, some residents will see their garbage collection day change. Does this change affect green box or yard/kitchen waste collection? No, your recyclables and yard/kitchen waste will continue to be collected as is. Green box containers are supplied by the town while yard/kitchen waste containers, or biodegradable bags, are supplied by the residents. How do I find out more information?

Youngsters thrilled audience with their talents during awards concert Sylvan Lake News
Chosen by the adjudicators, a number of youngsters performed in a variety of categories during the awards concert of the 14th annual Sylvan Celebration of Music, Sunday afternoon at Red Deer Memorial Centre. “I’m amazed are the variety we see here, it’s so diverse, it’s truly
remarkable,” said emcee Jennifer Johnson. Several new awards and scholarships were presented during the ceremony. The first recognizes long-time adjudicator Charles Austin and was presented to Lan Phuong Nguyen of Sylvan Lake for the year’s best solo piano performance. Johnson said Austin, who adjudicated piano
during the past 13 years, “has influenced an entire generation of western Canadian jazz musicians.” He’s now retired from head of the piano department at Grant MacEwan University where he taught keyboards, jazz theory, ear training, ensembles and improvisation for nearly 30 years “inspiring many students who have gone on to become leaders on the scene
today”. Also new are the Jazz Fest Awards which were presented to the year’s best jazz performers. Heather Watson won an award for her piano rendition of “Slippin”, while in the voice category Laura Arnusch (Lullaby of Birdland) and Michelle Ochsner (How Deep is the Ocean) won awards.

Youngsters thrilled audience . . . Continued from Page 12 At the same time, Johnson announced Jazz At The Lake Festival organizers have created Project Discovery 2013. Performers from Sylvan Celebration of Music are invited to grace the stage at a free youth concert which will take place at Gospel Chapel Saturday Aug. 17 during this year’s festival. Three talented musicians were presented with the first Sylvan Celebration of Music education scholarships of $500 each, thanks to contributions of four platinum level sponsors — McGill and Company, ATB Financial, Servus Credit Union and Sylvan Truck Ranch. Recipients of the scholarships were recommended by an adjudicator based on their outstanding performance during adjudica-
tion week which took place at Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church. “After review from the festival committee the top three candidates were selected based on technical proficiency, versatility between instruments and showmanship,” said Johnson. Ainsley McCallum was the first recipient. The 12-year-old received recommendations in two festival categories, voice solo and self accompanied piano and voice solo. She’s been singing since she could talk and has taken four years of private vocal instruction and three years of private piano. McCallum has been singing in the rock bands program for the past four years and has participated in music performance summer camps Diva
Bootcamp and Musical Theatre. She also enjoys writing her own music and lyrics. Julie Olive was the second recipient. She has received over 13 years of private and group instruction on piano, violin, voice, guitar, trombone, percussion and alto saxophone. With over 10 years of performance experience, Olive has played
with the Benwood Strings, the rock band program and as a soloist. She’s also volunteered her time and music education to the Musical Minis, Diva Bootcamp and Musical Theatres summer programs. “Julie absolutely loves music — everything from the Beatles to Bach, from classical to classic rock,” said Johnson.
David Jones was the final scholarship recipient. He received recommendations in two cate-
gories, piano composition and self accompanied bass and voice solo. A Sylvan Lake resi-
dent, the 17-year-old has pursued music since he was seven. Continued on Page 14

She was sadly predeceased by her son, Dale Orsean Morrison; husband, (Al) Alvin Morrison; and son in-law, Lance Winters. She will be missed by her daughter, Donna and son in-law Jim Hicks; her daughter, Karen Winters; her son, Kim and daughter in-law Maureen Morrison; eight grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren.
