Stubborn - Sylvan Lake firefighters battled a bush fire in a wooded area east of Range Road 20 and south of Norglenwold on Sunday. They responded a second time as the dry timber and brush reignited later in the evening.

Deserving young people recognized with nominations, awards by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Difficult decisions faced the selection committee for the Leaders of Tomorrow Awards this year because there were 85 nominees, all representing the “absolutely astounding” achievements and commitments of the town’s youth. While there was just one award winner in each of the four categories, MC Jessica Ornella asked all to

GREEN THUMBS BRING IT ON®

“remember that someone took the time to notice all the wonderful things that you’ve done and decided that our community should know about it. Your nominations are not because you’re the best player on your sports team or you’re the smartest in your class. You were nominated because you are a leader in our community.” Ornella began the evening talking about how much the awards mean to her. “As a nine-year-old it was a push in the right direction to help people and be a good person. You don’t have

to be an adult to do good things that others will recognize. “At 15, it was an award that reminded me that I can make a positive difference in the world. I have even had the opportunity last year and the year before to be a nominator for these awards. I am as proud of the youth that I nominated as I was of myself when I was nominated. Sometimes all you need is a little push in the right direction and you can accomplish anything; that’s how I got here.”

She added volunteering is one of her favourite activities and the nominees are no strangers to devoting their time and talents to things they find important. “I love knowing that I’m working towards helping make someone else’s life better. I’ve done a lot of dressing up, mentoring younger people, working behind the scenes and most importantly, having fun. Not everything that is enjoyable is bad, just as not everything that’s worth it is difficult.” Mayor Susan Samson was part of

the selection committee and said, “I can tell you that the diversity of the volunteer work, the commitment of time and talent and extent of the involvement astounded me as I read through those nominations. I also felt the sense of pride that those nominators had as they filled out those forms … I am very proud knowing that we have such a valuable resource, our youth, that call Sylvan Lake home.” Continued on page 14

Moore presented with Parent of Distinction Award by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

B.J. Moore, chairperson of the Poplar Ridge School Council for the past three years, was honoured with the Parent of Distinction Award during a special assembly at the school last Thursday. The award is presented by Alberta School Councils’ Association to recognize “an individual who demonstrates ability to promote parental involvement in the public education system,”

said presenter Laura Andreas, a provincial director of the association, who’s from Rocky Mountain House. “Truly exceptional in their dedication and initiative, this individual is a dynamic leader who creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for all partners in education.” Moore was nominated by Principal Barb Hanson who wrote, “In my 27 years as a school based administrator, she has definitely been the most outstanding chair I have ever had the plea-

sure of working with!” In her role as school council chair, the promotion and involvement of parents at the school has included the hot lunch program, casino, playground, bottle drives, grant applications, trade fairs and concerts, to name a few. Moore “encourages positive communication and a sense of belonging in the school, through her own approachability, visibility and attitude towards relationship building,” said Andreas. “She makes decisions with the students’ best

interest in mind and has successfully involved over 80 per cent of the school families in one initiative or another, resulting in very happy and well supported students.” Moore was one of 10 recipients from across Alberta. Hanson told students and staff she recommended Moore for the award “for all her care and attention in making a difference with the school council team”. The council, she added, is the group that “makes really important deci-

sions” and is behind several initiatives such as raising money for a new playground, deciding where money from bottle drives goes and supporting field trips, basketball, ski trips, and adding books to the library. “They play a really important role and they can’t do it without an important leader.” Moore thanked everyone for their support and the nomination.

$2 million in construction approved for former Cobb’s building by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Fences were recently installed around a portion of the parking lot at the former Cobb’s AG Foods as work moves ahead for the renovation and redevelopment of the space. Planned is a two-storey galleria with a restaurant with patio and four retail suites on the main floor and five suites for offices and personal services on the second floor. The parking lot in front of Cobb’s Clothing remains open for customers’ use. The alley between CIBC and Cobb’s parking lot is also open for traffic. A development permit for construction valued at $2 million was approved in April. STEVE DILLS

Hockey Central’s changes recommended for approval by council by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Support was unanimously approved for Hockey Central’s changes to the former Smugglers building at the foot of 50th Street, during the Municipal Planning Commission meeting Monday night. Members recommended to council that the development application be approved. Because the building falls within a ‘direct control’ district, council has to make a final decision on the application which will be on its agenda next Monday. Hockey Central Memorabilia Inc. proposed renovating the existing building to use the main floor for mer-

chandise sales and the second storey for a 140seat drinking establishment. Approximately 20 of those seats would be contained on the outdoor patio and used seasonally. Asked by Ken MacVicar if the establishment would have a kitchen, Darren Field responded they have three Red Seal chefs waiting to begin and will operate the second storey as a sports lounge. He said later they hope to be open by the third week of May. The favourable recommendation to council includes a relaxation of 20 per cent on the required minimum distance separation from other drinking establishments.

In his report to the commission, planning technician Martin Kvapil wrote that the nearest separate drinking establishment, Fireside Restaurant, is located approximately 80 metres (263 feet) away. The Land Use Bylaw requires a minimum separation distance of 100 metres (328 feet).

“A relaxation for the proposed development may be warranted considering that 1) it is a change in use within an existing building, 2) the use is somewhat similar to the former restaurant use, and 3) it is located within another plan block on the opposite side of the roadway.”

April’s building statistics got a substantial boost from commercial construction in Sylvan Lake’s downtown core. A permit for interior and exterior renovations and addition of a second story at the old Cobb’s AG Foods building was approved in the amount of $2 million last month. It accounted for 60 per cent of the month’s total. Plans include creation of a galleria style two storey area inside the existing north portion of the building with four suites for retail space and a restaurant with patio on the main floor and five suites for offices or personal services on the second floor. Also approved were permits for six new single family homes, three of them in Ryders Ridge, one in Beacon Hill, one in Lakeway Landing and one in the 4600 block of 45th Street. Construction value

of the new homes ranged from $172,625 to $220,950, according to figures released by the town last week. Additionally, permits were issued for three basement developments, two detached garages, a hot tub installation and cabin demolition. In the industrial area, a permit was issued to Richard Carson for a contractor minor operation in a multi-unit building on Cuendet Industrial Way. The number of single family home starts this year is marginally higher than last year — 27 compared to 25 in the first four months of the year yet the total value of construction permitted is only about half of last year’s year-to-date tally. That’s because last year’s figures included the new town office and substantial multi-unit residential buildings. Permits were issued for fifty-eight units last year compared to just 16 units in multi-family buildings this year. The year-to-date total is almost $13.5 million while the 2012 figure was just about $25.4 million.

Sparks of vitality in downtown core becoming evident Just as happens on the beachfront every year, the warmth of the summer sun has sparked a new vitality in Sylvan Lake’s downtown core. Empty storefronts are filling with new businesses and existing businesses moving to higher traffic locations. While several reports came together at the same time this week, renewed interest in the downtown area has been underway for months. Release of the April building permit statistics showed there’s a $2 million investment underway at the former Cobb’s AG Foods building. Construction fencing has been erected closing a portion of the parking lot during renovations which will convert the building to a twostorey galleria including a restaurant and patio as well as four suites for retail businesses on the main floor. Then the second floor will include five suites for offices

or personal services. Although no tenants have been named, it’s extremely encouraging for all who are concerned about the ebb and flow of the downtown business core to see investments being made and changes coming. Cobb’s Clothing remains open during the construction and there is parking in front of the business, accessible through the alley between CIBC and the construction fencing. At the foot of 50th Street, Hockey Central Memorabilia has been renovating the former Smugglers location. Their development application received support from Municipal Planning Committee members at Monday night’s meeting and will be on the agenda for final approval at the council meeting Monday night. They’re planning to run the memorabilia business on the main floor and create a

Dear Editor, How nice to sit and read the local newspaper surrounded by some warm spring weather for a change. I thought I would never be able to stop wearing my snow boots and toque. Last week’s paper featured an article about Matt Prete who is the latest candidate for mayor in next fall’s election. His take on local affairs, both past and present was refreshingly straightforward and candid. The current mayor and council have done a great job in many areas and are to be commended. Certain issues both past and present, however, need a fresh point of view. From now until the next election is an excellent

140-seat sports lounge on the second floor. The application indicated a $50,000 investment in the renovations. On the east side of 50th Street, the former tattoo parlour and Candy Factory building is once again being used. Benjamin’s Pizza hung its sign earlier this week after moving from it’s 53rd Street location. Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce members were told last week, the south side of that building will contain a convenience store in the near future. There will also be a more concerted effort by town staff to engage landowners in both the downtown area and in ‘Area G’ — that area south of the tracks which extends

what we did with all stakeholders there.” “That’s what we’re doing,” admitted Schmidt.”We did not put enough resources into it initially.” Councillors had previously been critical about lack of attendance at the meeting. “It’s very unfair downtown businesspeople were characterized as uninterested because of attendance at the meeting,” said Plante. All of this is good news for the future of the downtown core — there are investments be made, plans are being prepared and those most affected are being engaged in how to revitalize an area which can become a very vibrant part of our community. There are also opportunities waiting for the right ideas and investors — you just have to look at some of the vacant land. As the summer season progresses we’re sure ideas will be bandied and visions will be created.

Pressed by councillors who reviewed project reports on the Centennial Street (50th Street) Design Development and Area G Master Plan - Concept, Tim Schmidt, director of planning and development, admitted they “didn’t utilize enough staff resources” to contact building owners. They hand delivered personal invitations in the area for a March meeting which reviewed schematic redevelopment concepts. “We took a step back and are going over, re-doing some steering committee engagement,” he responded to Councillor Dale Plante’s question. “I spoke to landowners, building owners who didn’t know about the meeting,” said Plante at the Apr. 22 council meeting. “We should be backing right up, re-doing

Another well written article by the editor, complete with pictures, gave up-to-date information about a new lighthouse to be built in front of the marina on a publicly dedicated waterfront park space. There is $100,000 sitting in town coffers from the old downtown revitalization account that could be put toward this purpose. The town should also negotiate an ongoing maximum $20 fee for people to launch boats at the marina. If the new marina developers want to gouge more than this to dissuade public usage, tell them the new lighthouse are Norma-Durham and West Evarts.

Bouncing into Spring

Knocking each other around were Diane Pierson and Tayah Tucker during Bouncing into Spring last Friday evening at the multiplex.

Equipped with oversized boxing gloves, Landin Thibault and Dyson Olmstead showed their style inside the boxing ring of an inflatable castle last Friday at the multiplex.

Plenty of fun was enjoyed by youngsters last Friday evening as All About Bouncing hosted Bouncing into Spring, a fundraiser for Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners Association. The local company installed 15 inflatable bouncy castles inside the multiplex for three hours and invited kids to pay a $10 entry fee, said Keri Pratt. About 24 students from École H. J. Cody High School helped supervise. The event raised just over $900 with a portion of that going to H. J. Cody to support the students who helped and the remainder to Community Partners.

SAY NO TO BEING SELF-SERVING, YES TO BEING GOD SERVING By David Berg Benalto Baptist Church am feeling restless this morning. The sun is shining and it’s another beautiful Central Alberta day but I have a deadline looming for this article. I already began this once on an excellent topic that I’m sure one day will turn into a brilliant article, but I’m restless because I don’t want to have to do this right now. Over the last months I have actually come to enjoy writing these things, which is a minor miracle in itself, just not right now. As I pace in front of the window, feeling the gloriously warm sunshine beaming through, I shout out loud to the empty house, “Aargh! I want to be free!” In the echoing stillness of the moment following my vent, a profound spiritual awareness settles on me like a weight. Humbled by the gentle hand of God I speak back to him the truth; “No I don’t. I want to be bound.” Why? “Because Christ’s love compels me, because I am convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (If I may personalize 2 Corinthians 5:14-15) I like the

way Eugene Petersen paraphrases Matthew 16:24. Jesus is speaking and says “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacriÀce is the way, my way, to Ànding yourself, your true self.” Therefore I willingly, joyfully relinquish all rights to myself and abandon myself to Christ in order that he may live his life through me. (See Galatians 2:20) Please don’t think that by this I am somehow super-spiritual or anything particularly special. Even my restlessness this morning is evidence of my natural self centeredness. And believe me that is just the tip of the iceberg of my self-pleasing nature. But I have begun to know and experience the person of Jesus Christ; his nature, character, and personality and that compels me to say no to being self-serving and yes to being God serving. So I come back and sit down at the computer and begin to type “I am feeling restless this morning . . .” 4308 - 50 Avenue 403-887-1401

Councillors concerned about how much is too much after $3.6 million surplus by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Councillors showed their consternation while congratulating staff at Lacombe County for recording a year-end surplus of almost $3.6 million. After much discussion, they agreed to transfer $870,672 to the operational reserve for projects being completed in 2013, during their meeting Apr. 25. Then $2,722,000 was transferred to four reserves as recommended by staff.

The surplus, with the $870,672 not included, represented approximately 6.93 per cent of the year’s total operating budget. The 2011 surplus was almost the same, at $2,764,430. Tim Timmons, manager of corporate services, explained the surplus was the result of higher than anticipated reserves and lower than anticipated expenses. Examples he provided included one of the road construction projects planned for last year — Range Road 2-4 to the Yuill subdivision —

Closure of RR21 launch submitted to province for comment by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

During their regular meeting Tuesday, Red Deer County councillors: • approved a motion to have Bylaw 2013/1, which proposes the closure of Range Road 21 at the Sylvan Lake shoreline, forwarded for further consideration to the provincial Minister of Transportation. First reading was given to the bylaw in January, and a public hearing in March resulted in comments and feedback being given by about 25 people. During the hearing, a number of residents of nearby Half Moon Bay expressed concern with the misuse of the site, which is frequently used as in informal boat launch. Other speakers said lake access sites at other locations would become congested and overcrowded, should Range Road 21 be closed. The bylaw proposes that a barrier be installed at the end of the road to restrict vehicle access to the lake. Following the March public hearing, councillors deferred a decision on the matter pending further review. “A d m i n i s t r a t i o n believes that the minister’s response to the bylaw is an important piece of information that council should have prior to further review and decision on the bylaw,” said Legislative Services Manager Nancy Lougheed, in her report. • agreed to contribute $2,000 to Sylvan Lake Urgent Care Committee

in its preparation of a business plan pertaining to pursuit of an urgent care facility in Sylvan Lake. Cost of the business plan is estimated to be between $10,000 and $15,000. Similar requests for funding have been sent to Lacombe County, the five summer villages, and the towns of Sylvan Lake, Eckville and Bentley. • appointed councillor George Gehrke to the Town of Sylvan Lake’s Multiplex Redevelopment Task Force. Sylvan Lake requested that a Red Deer County representative be appointed to the committee, which aims to “contribute to the development of a functional, attractive and cost-effective community facility,” according to its terms of reference. “I believe that it’s very appropriate that we have a councillor sitting on this body,” said Councillor David Hoar.

didn’t get completed and the county received over $288,000 from Trans Canada Trail towards construction of trails in the county — money that wasn’t budgeted. The operational reserve received $500,000 to fund the cost of new financial software and the possibility of developing an agricultural master plan. Councillors added $1.1 million to the bridge reserve. “As you know Lacombe County is facing a very serious bridge issue. Based on a combination of the significant number of aging bridge structures we have and the provincial government’s recent decision to eliminate the local bridge grant program, it is likely that considerably more Lacombe County financial resources will have to be dedicated to our bridge program in the foreseeable future,” wrote Timmons, in his report to council. The tax rate stabilization reserve was increased by $132,000. This reserve has been used to support operational costs during years when the county has experienced a significant loss of tax revenue due to property assessment appeals. Staff recom-

mended putting the money into the reserve and then using it in 2013 to reduce the proposed tax increase from 2.75 per cent to two per cent. The final transfer saw $940,000 added to the lake access reserve which is used to finance improvements, amenities and road development associated with improved lake access. “I’m pleased to see we’re in a surplus again, that makes us very contrarian to everything else that’s happening in the county,” said Councillor Cliff Soper. “I think we’re in a very unique position, but I’m concerned we’re a little too contrarian on this one. There might be an expectation we can do anything.” He wondered if there was a way to become more precise in their budgeting so the surpluses aren’t as large. But, he added, “this reflects very well on how we manage money here”. Councillor Brenda Knight called for a further reduction in the tax rate. She wanted an additional $100,000 put into the tax rate stabilization reserve, reducing the lake access reserve by that amount. Timmons told council that what they’re proposing to do is reduce the

increase to 1.5 per cent on the municipal tax rate. The mill rate bylaw is set for discussion at the next council meeting, he noted. “I think there should be a discussion about sustainability and collaboration,” said Councillor Rod McDermand. “I don’t think we can go on much longer in isolation. There are more have nots out there than haves.” He suggested that eventually there will be a levelling in the province. “Do we want to be part of the driving force or a reaction to it.” He was speaking about the differences between tax rates in urban and rural jurisdictions. County Commissioner Terry Hager said, “administration shares your concern over the surplus. Anytime we’re over five per cent, we have to do serious soul searching. We have tried, over the last four or five years, to be closer in our estimates.” He added, “we need to take a longer term look at mill rates. Lacombe County could probably get away with a

zero per cent increase for two or three years but we don’t want to set up a future council.” On the issue of collaboration, he thought the county had come a long way with its recreation plans and economic development areas with Eckville, Bentley, Lacombe and Alix. “We do have a model in place.” Hager also indicated they know the assessment in Lacombe County is going to grow substantially in the future due to the $1 billion expansion at Joffre. Throwing out other ideas, McDermand said there are roads in the county where it became obvious last year, due to the wet season, that substantial work is needed. He also said, “I don’t see a commitment to broadband. A lot of people require internet service which they’ve got but they haven’t got broadband service.” He noted other counties are committing millions of dollars to this initiative. Speaking in favour of the lake access funding, Reeve Ken Wigmore said, “I can guess we’re

going to spend all that and quite a bit more when we do lake access.” While councillors unanimously approved the staff recommendations, Knight warned she’s still going to be asking for changes to reduce the tax rate when it’s discussed. Councillor Dana Kreil was absent from the meeting. Councillors were provided with a line-by-line chart of reasons for variances in revenues and expenses as well as a list of the reserves at the end of 2012. With the additions approved, the county’s total reserves increased from $49.3 million at the end of 2011 to just over $56.2 million at the end of 2012. During their meeting councillors heard from their auditor that the 2012 financial statements were presented with a clean opinion with no issues found. They approved the statements unanimously.

Convict collared in Sylvan Lake after failing to return to day parole facility by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

A man convicted of manslaughter was apprehended in Sylvan Lake after being unlawfully at large from day parole in Vancouver. Sylvan Lake RCMP members and Calgary’s

Two charged with trafficking in separate incidents by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake RCMP are continuing in their commitment to reduce drug related offences with two more people charged with drug trafficking in the past month. Following a traffic stop for a burned out headlight, about 12:10 a.m. Apr. 14, a Red Deer resident was arrested for breach of probation. A search of the driver and vehicle produced 13 grams of crack cocaine, two grams of methamphetamine, $420 in cash, three cell phones and two digital scales, reported RCMP Cst. Gord Marshall. Leith Alexandra Curtis was charged with possession for the

purpose of trafficking. Marshall noted the matter is still under investigation and may result in additional charges and/or arrests of associated individuals. Five days later, at approximately 9:30 p.m. Sylvan Lake RCMP members were conducting licensed premises checks. Investigators observed a man who was currently on conditions not to consume alcohol. He was arrested for breaching his conditions and searched incidental to arrest, reported Marshall. The search produced nine grams of cocaine, nine pre-

scription morphine based pills and $820 in cash. Dayne Ryley Stumpf, of Sylvan Lake, has been charged with

Meadowlands approved for 34 RV lot expansion to existing campground by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

During their regular meeting Monday night, Sylvan Lake Municipal Planning Commission members: • approved the request of Meadowlands Golf Club to add an additional 34 fully serviced recreation vehicle sites at the most westerly boundary of the property, abutting 50th Street and west of the current sites. There are already 99 fully serviced sites on the property. The new sites will be

connected to a septic (pump out) tank and water well as a means to provide servicing, wrote Development Officer Patty Urban in her report. Laverne Asselstine questioned whether allowing the campsites might conflict with future urban expansion in the area. Tim Schmidt, director of planning and development, said the town currently sees development stopping at Memorial Trail until water and sewer facilities can be expanded. Current facili-

ties can only accommodate about 18,000 people. That’s also why a proposed annexation is taking longer than anticipated, since the town has to have a plan to be able to service land it annexes. • approved a development permit for Canadian Engineered Wood Products Ltd. which has purchased the former town shop at 1 Erickson Drive. The permit will allow the company to relocate its office and operate a sales and service outlet for building materials and warehousing.

Summer? - Graden Sol of Kuusamo Krest kayaked through ice channels on Monday evening (May 6). The following day wind had pushed the ice around and filled in the channels. Lots of local residents are watching for the disappearance of the ice and several informal pools are underway. Tuesday there was ice piled up into tree limbs on the eastern shore but later in the day the crystals on the lake started to shift north again. SUBMITTED

This Victoria Day Long Weekend

Purchase of the land from the town is conditional on getting a development permit allowing the company to operate from the location. • granted a side yard relaxation to allow a sunroom to be added to a manufactured home on Baywood Place. The side yard setback requirement of three metres was relaxed to 1.65 metres on the corner lot which abuts Baywood Link. • refused an application of Lighthouse Marine for installation of a temporary 9.1 metre (30 foot) high soft sided accessory building on its property at 38 Industrial Drive which is on the southeast corner of Highway 11A and Highway 20. Michael Walsh indicated they wanted to use the building to store boats out of the elements. Staff requested approval for one year which was in accordance with the bylaw while the applicant requested five years. Ken MacVicar spoke against it saying “my concern with one year is this is going to be repetitive. If we approve this, we defeat what happened in the past, I’m not in favour of this application.” Urban said an application was approved in 1997 and three soft sided buildings remained on the property until 2008 when enforcement required

them to be removed. “The general consensus was the buildings were beyond temporary after 11 years,” she said. MacVicar stated his opposition but moved a motion approving the development to get it on the floor. None of the members voted in favour of the motion so it was defeated. • recommended to

council that Cole Way be the name of the new street located in Crestview subdivision immediately south of Pierview and just east of 50th Street. The name was chosen by Lamont Land Inc. from a list of names provided by Sylvan Lake & District Archives Society. The name recognizes the Jack Cole family who operated Tendersweet

Young people recognized... Continued from page 1 6-10 age category Rylee Resendes was selected as the award winner in the 6-10 age category. Her nominator said, “if I had to compare Rylee to a famous person, it would be both Calvin and Hobbes from the Bill Watterson comic books. She’s inventive and funny like Calvin,

holey kneed, and fun-loving. But she’s easy-going like Hobbes, shouldershrugging, smiling and ready to roll with a joke or go along with someone else’s ideas for a while. She also looks pretty cuddly, like Hobbes, and not just a toy to put on a shelf and look at. She’s your bestfriend kind-of stuffy.”

Her smile alone should be reason enough to win an award, said the nominator. “She really never gets grumpy. This girl has more positivity than an AC current!” Rylee spends considerable time helping her grandmother who’s one of the key members of Red Deer and area food bank.

Steenbergen chosen 12th overall in bantam draft by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Excited and overwhelmed are words 15-year-old Tyler Steenbergen used to describe his reaction to being drafted 12th overall by Swift Current Broncos during their first round pick at the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft last Thursday. He met with team representatives on Saturday, received a hat and t-shirt and information about the main camp August 20, where

all listed and drafted players will attend with the veterans. Steenbergen played with the Bantam AAA Red Deer Rebels White team this season. While the team didn’t have a great year, ending at the bottom of the league, he did well individually scoring 39 goals and 28 assists for 67 points in 32 games which put him in a tie for 15th place in the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League. After his bantam season was finished he played with the Midget AAA Red Deer Optimist

Chiefs as an affiliate when the senior team was affected by injuries. He was on the Chiefs roster when they won provincials and then won Pacifics at Vancouver. But by then the team’s injured players had healed and he didn’t get a chance to join them for the Telus Cup series which they won in Sault Ste.

Jubilant - Sylvan Lakers Chase Thudium and Jordan Steenbergen celebrated their team’s Telus Cup

national championship, capping a successful season for Red Deer Optimist Chiefs Midget AAA club. Thudium scored the team’s first goal with three minutes remaining in the first period when he found a rebound at the left side of the goal and scored on the power play. It became the game winner and his stick was taken to the Hockey Hall of Fame. “It was exciting,” Thudium said in a Red Deer Advocate story. “I almost missed it but I got a second chance. It was a big goal; it was huge. Everybody was nervous off the start, and we knew whoever scored into Preventative Care! that first goal was going to have a good chance at Consider spaying/neutering, winning.

Marie. “It was a great experience,” said the 5’10”, 160 pound forward. “It was awesome winning two championships with them. I didn’t get the chance to go to the Telus Cup but overall it was a great experience.” Next year is the first year he’s eligible to play at the Midget AAA level then a year later he’s eligible to try out for the Swift Current club. A for ward, Steenbergen said he had a hunch he’d be selected by Swift Current in the draft after they indicated they were really interested in him. He was watching the draft live online when the Broncos called his name 12th overall. “When they first said it I was just overwhelmed,” he told Steven Mah of the Swift Current Southwest Booster. “I didn’t really have any words to describe it.” He characterized himself as a fast player.

“I have good vision on the ice. I work my tail off every shift and I work hard in the D-zone.” Steenbergen spent his minor hockey career in Sylvan Lake until moving to Bantam AAA play three years ago. His season was as an underage player. The Grade 9 École H. J. Cody High School student is an avid athlete involved in basketball, badminton, track and field and golf. Steenbergen’s brother, Jordan, and Chase Thudium, another Sylvan Laker, played with the Optimist Chiefs team and revelled in the Telus Cup championship. Jordan was selected by Kootenay Ice in the third round, 61st overall, during the bantam draft two years ago. He played with the team during the exhibition season this year and in a game against the Rebels in Red Deer.

Deserving young people recognized . . . Continued from page 14 Editor’s Note: We’re not able to print information about every nominee in the newspaper, but we have included the citations read at the event on our website. Check www. sylvanlakenews.com to read about the fantastic achievements of the many deserving nominees. 11-13 age category Hanna Sigfusson, the 11-13 age category winner, is a “smiling, outgoing and happy 11 year old who enjoys learning, reading and helping at home with baking and cooking …” Helpful in her neighbourhood, she volunteers to shove driveways in winter or walk dogs in summer. “Hanna has shown exemplary leadership helping with Rotary and other community organization,” said one of her two nominators. That included helping with the Christmas Seniors Lunch, participating as a face painting elf at Breakfast With Santa, distributing flags at Canada Day celebrations and collecting money for Sylvan Lake Food Bank along the Santa Claus

parade route. She recently travelled to southern Mexico with Rotary to help distribute 390 donated wheelchairs. Nine Rotary clubs raised $60,000 for the wheelchairs and when Hanna made her school aware of the project they raised enough to donate two of the wheelchairs. One of her nominators wrote, “When you look up words to describe a giving person, you find words like: kind, helpful, loving, understanding, diligent, respectful, honest, responsible, hardworking, and the list goes on. I truly believe each of these words describe Hanna. Caring is at the heart of Hanna’s character. It’s a guideline for how Hanna relates to the world. Genuine, selfless concern for others shows her desire to be a leader.” Other nominees in the 11-13 age category were Stevie Beckingham, Nicole Blair, Jordan Foisy, Ryley Fraser, Dania Halsey, Kyle Harbridge, Dylan Harnett, Dylan Hilman, Amber House, Josh Howse, Brea Ives,

His nominator wrote, “Marcus is a young man that is soft spoken but has a heart to serve within his community. He came to me last October, never having met, and asked if I needed a hand coaching 5-7 year old boys hockey. Since this was my first time coaching hockey I said absolutely. Not knowing how committed he would be, I was shocked he was there every Saturday. He was great with the boys and they loved him. “I feel Marcus should receive this award because of his faithfulness, perseverance and leadership skills,” wrote the nominator who said as a 16 year old young

man he could easily have missed several Saturdays, especially the 8:15 a.m. ice times. “After Christmas Marcus battled some health issues, spent time in hospital and was also dealing with a suicide by a peer at his high school that happened on his birthday. I didn’t realize this until the end of the season. Amazingly, he still did not miss a day. Marcus’s leadership skills were first demonstrated to me when he asked me face-to-face it he could help and then secondly when he would work with the boys weekly, implementing age-appropriate drills and increasing their confidence on the ice. As a teacher of 20+ years, I could count only a handful of students like him that take leadership seriously and are accountable week after week.” Besides hockey, Marcus helps with the floor hockey program at the youth centre and many other town events. He helped prepare and serve food for less fortunate at Sacred Heart Parish in Red Deer and stated afterwards he really enjoyed the experience and would like to do it again because “it made him feel really good about helping others”.

Twice a month, they get together to plan, organize and implement activities and events for youth.

world is not just for adults. Following the famous quote of Gandhi, you are being the change that you wish to be in the world. Your peers will look up to you and want to follow your example, whether you know about it or not. I can see your closest supporters here with you right now, and I can see that they’re gleaming with pride for what you have done.” The evening included entertainment between each of the award presentations. The local performers included David Jones, Ainsley McCallum, Bobbi Cerin, Brooklyn Hughes, Julie Olive, and Kings of Clarity featuring Joel Armstrong (Aggrvate), Chase Hoffman (Math Matik), and Andy Armstrong (Shifty Eyes).

École H. J. Cody High School Grade 9 students Tyler Steenbergen and Brayden Bystrom battled against a Spruce View team in the semifinals of the Chinook’s Edge Northern Athletics Association (CENAA) badminton tournament hosted at H.

Sylvan Lake Lacrosse Club on its way to becoming an association by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

Sylvan Lake Lacrosse Club has grown steadily in the past few years, and may soon become a completely autonomous organization. Now in its third year, the club currently operates as an offshoot of Red Deer Lacrosse Association (RDLA). Plans are being made for the club to become its own association next year. “The advantage to becoming our own association lies in the fact that we would now have our own identity and be able to raise our own funds that we could use for the direct development of Sylvan Lake players and local lacrosse initiatives,” said club president Tim Harris. “Sylvan has produced some amazing lacrosse players in the short three years we have been here, and I see nothing but growth from here.” Harris said RDLA is “fully on board” with the creation of an association in Sylvan Lake, and has mentored the club by helping it obtain jerseys, equipment and knowledge necessary to become self sufficient. He feels that now is the perfect time for the club to consider expansion. “We’ve spent the last two or three years trying to gain the support and make sure we’re strong enough to do it,” he said. “Everybody seems to feel that we’re ready to go, so over the off season we’re going to try and form an association and come out next year under our own banner.” The club’s current season began last month, and runs until June. There are six teams in Sylvan Lake, with players’ ages ranging from four to 14 years old. The Buccaneers — as Sylvan Lake teams

are known — play in Central Alberta Lacrosse League. Home games are played at Sylvan Lake Multiplex. With the rapid rate at which the club has grown, Harris feels the club will likely be well supported in its pursuit of association status. “There’s more and more people every year

that are showing a bit more of an interest, and it’s really starting to take off,” he said. “We’ve got a handful of parents that are the most willing to help out and I think, long term, we’ll be even better.” A large number of Sylvan Lake lacrosse players also play hockey, said Harris, adding

that he is happy to see lacrosse increasing in popularity. “As their kids get into it and start to really enjoy it, the parents start to enjoy it, and more and more people are aware of it now,” he said. “When we started three years ago, we had 63 kids. Now we’re up to 94.” As an association, Sylvan Lake Lacrosse Club would also have the ability to host tournaments in town. Harris is encouraging residents of Sylvan Lake and Central Alberta to take part in Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake’s Scholarship Golf Tournament at Meadowlands Golf Club on June 21. Funds raised by the Rotary Club will benefit a number of groups in the area, including Sylvan Lake Lacrosse Club. More information about the golf tournament and lacrosse in Sylvan Lake may be obtained by emailing Harris at sylvanlakelacrosse@hotmail.ca.

Lakers Brayden Bystrom and Tyler Steenbergen were proud of their accomplishments, winning gold at the Chinook’s Edge Northern Athletics Association (CENAA) badminton tournament held at H. J. Cody High School. The pair will compete at the CWAJHAA (Central Western Alberta Junior High Athletics Association) level this weekend at Lindsay Thurber. Schools represented included Spruce View, Red Deer Koinonia , École Mother Teresa, Innisfail High, Delburne, River Glen, Destiny, Penhold and Bowden schools. Emma Kooiman won a bronze medal in the Grade 9 girls singles category of the tournament. STEVE DILLS PHOTOS

Horse show helped Shadow Riders prepare

Warm weather in Benalto on Sunday provided ideal conditions for Shadow Riders 4-H Club’s pre-regional horse show.

STUART FULLARTON

Shadow Riders 4-H Club held its pre-regional horse show in Benalto Sunday. There were 85 entries for the show, which prepared riders for the regional show in Red Deer later this month.

by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

Shadow Riders 4-H Club enjoyed a busy day Sunday, when members participated in the largest show the club has ever organized. The club’s pre-regional horse show at Benalto Ag. Grounds had 85 entries — an increase from last year’s 75. Attending the show were members from clubs in 4-H’s West

Central region, which includes Leslieville, Red Deer, Innisfail and other areas. Club general leader Craig Kentz described the day as a success, and felt it would prepare members for the West Central Regional Horse Show in Red Deer. “This is a part where they get to show off to the parents what they’ve learned, and see how they’re doing against other clubs in the same area,” he said. “It’s basically a learning show for their final show at the end of May.”

Riders and their horses took part in a number of events, and competed for top marks in showmanship and English and Western riding styles. They were also judged on their ability to manoeuvre through a trail course. Riders were grouped according to their age and riding level. Kentz said he expects about 250 entries at the show in Red Deer, which will be held at Westerner Park May 31 to June 2.

Contract awarded for storm channel by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

During their regular meeting Apr. 22, Sylvan Lake councillors: • awarded a contract to the lowest bidder, Urban Dirtworks of Sylvan Lake for $225,361.52 including GST, for the East Storm Channel Completion and cleaning out five other existing ditches which have excessive growth restricting efficient flow. There is currently a channel from Highway 20 to approximately the end of Cuendet Industrial Drive that handles a large volume of storm drainage from other areas of town. It was intended the channel would be completed during development of the quarter section east of Beju to the East Storm Pond but since that hasn’t happened, staff recommended the project be undertaken and a portion of the expenses collected from the developer at a later date.

Two tenders were received for the work. • unanimously accepted the audited financial reports for 2012. Grant Stange of Collins Barrow attended the meeting and told councillors there were no recommendations coming back to council and their report reflected a ‘clean’ opinion. “You’ve got a great management team doing a great job for you,” he said. • unanimously passed amendments to the Uniform Quality Management Plan. The document which was last updated in August 2005, and signed by the Safety Codes Council Accreditation officer in July 2007, was updated with the assistance of Alberta Municipal Affairs staff with the majority of changes pertaining to terminology and better appendices to clarify requirements • accepted for information first quarter project work plans for 43 projects that are currently underway.

Over 200 new lots were approved for subdivision on the town’s east side by Municipal Planning Commission members Monday evening. They approved the creation of 126 residential lots as well as public utility lots and municipal reserves in the next phase of the Ryders Ridge subdivision at the extreme south east side of that quarter section. One block of 1.45 hectares (3.58 acres) may be further subdivided at a future date to provide a 26 lot residential subdivision. Reynolds Road will be extended to provide

access to this area. Then commission members approved creation of 78 residential lots along with public utility lots and a municipal reserve for the first phase of the The Vista In Ryders Ridge subdivision immediately south of Ryders Ridge. This phase is in the northwest portion of the quarter section and will be accessed through an extension of Ryders Ridge Boulevard. It’s northern extremity borders a pipeline right-of-way and further north a park area south of the CP trail rightof-way. The area will include 53 lots zoned R1A (medium lot residential district) and 25 lots zone R5 (narrow lot general residential district).

Sylvan’s 100th

- While the lake appears to be clear of ice, there was still some piled on the wooden pier in this 1950 photo. That begs the question, when will the ice disappear this year. We’re working on a list from past issues that should be ready for our Centennial section at the end of May. Stories in the Sylvan Lake News indicated that the pier was damaged by ice during spring break-up regularly and the Dominion government representatives journeyed to Sylvan Lake to determine how to remedy the matter on many occasions. This is one of a series of historic photos we’ll publish during Sylvan Lake’s 100th anniversary. If you’ve got a photo you’d like us to print, please get in touch with editor Steve Dills at 403-887-2331 or email it to editor@sylvanlakenews.com along with as much information as you can provide.
