Graduation - École H. J. Cody High School graduates gathered at the pier last Thursday morning for the traditional graduation picture before walking through downtown to the multiplex where commencement ceremonies were held. The timing of graduation was moved from early May to late June last year to keep students focused on their studies. The 130 graduates and five honourary graduates heard various messages of encouragement and advice from dignitaries including valedictorians Bennett Hreherchuk and Alex Donaghy and guest speaker Sean McIntyre. This is the fourth year at Sylvan Lake multiplex which is part of a goal to celebrate their Sylvan roots. Later in the evening, graduates, family and friends enjoyed a banquet in Red Deer. More pictures and stories are on pages 12 &13. STEVE DILLS

Several firsts as Cody’s grad class of 2013 lauded by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Besides providing words of wisdom and advice to the graduating class of 2013, speakers and the audience recognized several firsts at École H. J. Cody High School’s commencement ceremony last Thursday. The first two students to complete their entire education in the French Immersion program of Sylvan Lake schools and Chinook’s Edge School Division — Joelle Shaw-Edwards and Kiana McCluskey — received their certificates.

Also new this year was the Mayor’s Citizenship Award, presented by Mayor Susan Samson to “the graduating student that best exemplifies active citizenship, a student who consciously participates to make a difference in their community”. Brooklyn Soley received the award. “Brooklyn intends on becoming an elementary school teacher,” said Samson. “She volunteers at Steffie Woima School on a regular basis and is very active in her school community in getting things done. She has another remarkable quality though; and that is that she is willing to stand

up to anyone who challenges what she feels is right and will stand there as long as is needed to have the moral and ethical perspective understood.” Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Kerry Towle presented the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta Citizenship Award to Leah Johns. This was the second year Towle has presented the award to a person who gives back, takes the philosophy of citizenship and volunteerism and goes forward with it. For Principal Dave Elwood, there was a “little soft spot” for the graduating class. He started as

principal at École Fox Run School when they entered Grade 6 and then moved to Cody with them. Congratulations, this is really, really cool, I’m really proud of you,” Elwood said. “It has been cool watching you grow up, seeing the changes in you, yeah some good changes, some kids have matured, some kids grew and got taller.” Dr. Lissa Steele, on behalf of Chinook’s Edge School Division, encouraged the students to “be proud of what you accomplish”. Her five simple wishes also included, “ask yourself if what I’m doing today is getting me where I want

to be”. “Life is full of relearning … and a whole lot of unlearning as well,” she said. “Never underestimate your power. Don’t forget to call Mom and Dad, not just for money but to tell them you love them.” And most important of all, she said, “stay safe tonight”. School board trustee Joe-Anne Matejka, on behalf of the board, told students to “float your boat. Everyone does everything differently. You will succeed in everything you want to accomplish when you float your boat your way.” Continued on page 11

PAINTING TOOLS: BRUSH OR ROLLER?

Once you’ve properly prepared the surface, you’re ready to paint. Whether to use a paintbrush or a paint roller depends on the type of paint you are using and the size of the surface to be painted. Paintbrushes: Although using a paintbrush takes considerably longer than a roller, it is ideal for cutting in, windows, baseboards, and intricate trim work. Paint Rollers: Paint rollers make painting go more quickly, but should be used only for painting walls, ceilings, and other large, ﬂat surfaces. They can be used to apply both latex and oil-based paints and stains and do a ﬁne job with both gloss and semi-gloss coatings.

Ammeter reflects on Sylvan Lake then and now by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

Pat Ammeter changed her usual Father’s Day plans this year, and decided not to head out of town with her family. Instead, they stayed together at Jarvis Bay so they could be closer to centennial celebrations taking place in Sylvan Lake. With the time Ammeter has spent in Sylvan Lake over the years, it was, after all, an occasion she did not want to miss. “For nearly 30 years we have celebrated with family out west for Father’s Day and this time we said we were going to stay close so we can take in what we want,” she said. Of Sylvan Lake’s 100-year history, Ammeter has been in town for more than half. She was born in Sylvan Lake, and even when, at the age of 19, she moved to a farm just south of town with her husband Dietrich, she continued to call Sylvan Lake home. “We farmed, but this was my hometown,” she said. “It’s where our kids went to school, it’s where we went to church, it’s where we did everything.

Pat Ammeter has many fond memories of living in Sylvan Lake and is impressed with the town’s recent beautification efforts. She enjoys remembering with ‘Recollections Beyond Reflections’ — a Sylvan Lake history book she helped compile. STUART FULLARTON

So I always said I lived here.” During her time in town, Ammeter has seen the town grow substantially. In doing so, she’s seen plenty of what she refers to as “ups and downs”

KidSport beneficiary of Hockey Central donation by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

when everybody knew everybody in town, and feels people today don’t know their neighbours like they used to. Yet, although she often walks the streets without seeing anyone she knowns, she claims to love the town today as much as she ever has in the past. “It’s not just Sylvan, the whole world is changing, and I really love the changes of beautification of the town,” she said. “I really feel good about the changes to do with the sidewalk along the beach, and I was overwhelmed with the new town office. “It is an absolutely beautiful building.” She also acknowledged the many years its taken for Sylvan Lake to become the place it is today. “Very few people, I find, can visualize something through to the end, and only see what’s in front of them today,” she said. “I love it here and I have no plans to leave here. “I don’t know a place where I would rather live.”

— changes that have occurred throughout the years for better and for worse. “There was a timeframe when Sylvan was kind of grungy, and it wasn’t a desirable destination,” she said. “People still came here, but it wasn’t a ‘wow’ place to go. People still came to the lake and loved the lake, but people weren’t moving here.” She said some of the biggest changes came when the farm implement dealers began to leave town, and Saturday night shopping was eventually stopped. “That’s when all the farmers came to town to do their shopping. We’d work all week and then Saturday night was when you went and got your groceries and went to the café and met some of the neighbours. “Once they’d closed down Saturday night, farmers couldn’t get their supplies and they all went to Red Deer. That had a very big impact on the town of Sylvan Lake.” Ammeter remembers a time

So many thoughts to assimilate and rejuvenate during grad speeches In the course of our job, we hear lots of inspiring words of wisdom about a huge variety of topics. It’s during those times that we are rejuvenated, when our mind is sparked and our thoughts tumble over ideas turning them into concepts that fit or expand our experiences. Of course, listening carefully, or in our profession, scribbling furiously to capture the most illuminating ideas and then reviewing those pen scratches later to create a story, helps to crystallize what we heard. In a long round-about way, that’s an explanation for what happens every time we attend a graduation ceremony — now numbering 10 for École H. J. Cody High School students, and many more in other communities. Besides applauding the graduates

who have their lives ahead of them and the “nearly limitless” potential to do anything, as guest speaker Sean McIntyre stated, we share their enthusiasm for continuing to learn and expand their horizons. As several speakers stated, parents, teachers, school staffs and the community are all responsible for the success of our graduating class. As a community we express our thanks to those who have stood by, persevered, shown determination, provided enthusiasm or a shoulder to lean on, and helped these young people find the spark that leads

to further exploration and understanding. There were many, many words of advice and encouragement spoken during the commencement ceremonies so we’ll limit ours for graduates. We’d certainly echo what was said about how fast our world is moving and how much more access they have to information and technology. Your potential has not yet been tapped. Opportunities abound. Pick yours and pursue your dreams. Another theme that found itself in several speeches was that of citizenship and your responsibility to get involved and share some of your talents. We hope this idea resonates with many of you. We’ve certainly found from experience that there are many benefits from being actively involved.

Smallernfreuden by Biggenbanken is Hurtenvendors by Amber Ruddy Special to Sylvan Lake News

Have you seen that Visa ad where a couple at a hockey game pays for a snack using a Visa card? You know, the one that touts the “joy of small”? Smallenfreuden is a made-up word that is used to describe purchases of $100 or less made on your credit card. Well there is another side to the story, that of independent business owners. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is pushing back and sharing the reasons why you should not use credit for “the small purchases you would make anyway”. To start, every time you pay with a credit card at your local restaurant, dry cleaner, craft store, or other business, the credit card company pockets as much as two to three per cent of the purchase.

Compare that to using cash or debit. When you use INTERAC, the cost to process the transaction is a flat fee; just a few cents per transaction. Does it really cost more to process the transaction of a stick of gum versus a television set? Or is this a case of the middleman taking a cut? Banks and card companies bring in a whopping $5 billion a year from credit card processing fees and are looking to grow that by launching into the world of small purchases. As more uber-premium credit cards hit the market, additional perks including cash back and extra points have to be covered by someone and business owners are the ones picking up the tab. Currently, there is no way for a merchant to know by looking at the card whether it will carry a regular or high transaction fee.

To remain competitive many businesses absorb the cost, but ultimately the merchant may deal with the hidden cost by hiring fewer staff, reducing or eliminating pay raises for employees, and in some cases raising prices. Businesses are loath to take away options for customers. But it is important to understand how transaction fees can have a major impact on the profitability of many small businesses.

A spectacular part of the opening ceremonies was the massed formation of Scouts as they marched over the hill to the reviewing stand with their flags. 1700 Scouts and leaders are at the jamboree. The program for Scouts during the week will include campcraft, rifle range, water sports and regatta, woodcraft. All the Scouts will be housed under canvas on the 103-acre camp site at Camp Woods.

Canada Day in Sylvan Lake

A hot and humid Canada Day brought throngs of people flocking to the soothing cool waters of Sylvan Lake. They basked in the sun then cooled in the lake. Several long time residents and visitors noted they hadn’t seen a crowd as large along the shores and in the lake.

The colour party of the Royal Canadian Legion, Sylvan Lake Br. 212, was augmented with the addition of an Air Force Officer Cadet, two Air Force cadets and an Army Cadet for the March of Canadians. Legion members marching were John (Butch) Bouchard, Mike Marchesi and acting Sergeant-At-Arms Gordon Graham. The march went from the Legion to the cenotaph and then back to Centennial (50th) Street and on to the pier.

Innisfail Legion Pipe Band led the March of Canadians parade and then provided a brief concert at the pier prior to singing of O Canada and cutting of the birthday cake.

After the March of Canadians, it was time to cut and distribute a huge 4’ x 8’ birthday cake prepared by Sobeys. Part of that task fell to MLA Kerry Towle, Mayor Susan Samson, and RCMP officers Cst. Michael Lee, Cst. Nelson Johnson, Sgt. Michelle Boutin, Cpl. Kevin Halwa and Cst. Gordon Marshall. Within an hour the cake was totally gone, attesting to the crowd of people on the pier. The Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake was in charge of events on the pier (with financial assistance from the Department of Heritage Canada and Town of Sylvan Lake). This was Rotary’s tenth year organizing activities after taking over from the Spirit of Sylvan Lake committee.

Ashlyn McGillicky of Red Deer waited patiently as Rotarian Marla Mahar applied a temporary tattoo to her arm at the Rotary tent on the pier. The Canada Day themed tattoos were a real hit with both youngsters and adults.

École Fox Run School Renaissance student Brea Ives held a miror so a youngster could see the creative face painting she’d done at the Rotary tent on the pier during Canada Day festivities.

Bouncy inflatables, supplied by the Giggle Gang, were part of Canada Day festivities on the pier organized by the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake. The gang also brought two balloon sculptors who were inundated with requests by the many youngsters who attended. STEVE DILLS PHOTOS

Country music gene kicked in; fingers danced across the keyboard by Treena Mielke Black Press

Debbie Bergeron was four years old and living in British Columbia when she belted out her first country song into a microphone set up in the family’s living room. Needless to say, her song was a hit. When Brenda Fuss-Dutz was about that age, she could listen to her dad whistle a tune and pick it up on the keyboard. By the time she was 12, Fuss-Dutz, who grew up on a farm near Wetaskiwin, was playing keyboard in a dance band called the Alley Cats. The odds that the paths of these two women, who would both become talented musicians in their own right, would ever cross paths seemed highly unlikely, but as luck would have it, fate intervened. Years later, Bergeron, now living in Rimbey, and Fuss-Dutz, who lives in Sylvan Lake, have become a duo. The results have been truly amazing. The pair’s first gig together was at Ponoka Stampede June 28 to July 1. Bergeron will perform at Calgary Stampede’s Windows of the West July 14 at 1:30 p.m. On Aug. 9 the pair will perform at the Ivan Daines Country Picnic at Innisfail in the afternoon. “Working with Debbie is exciting and a chal-

her original music.” Fuss-Dutz, whose gift of music encompasses all genres, is an accomplished pianist with a Grade 10 in Royal Conservatory of Music. For her, it’s more than reading notes from a song sheet. “Music is in my DNA,” she said. “It’s who I am and what I’m meant to do … perform, teach, accompany. I am currently teaching music for young children, which I very much enjoy.” As well as playing keyboard with a worship band from her church, she plays a duelling piano gig every third Friday at the Sheraton Hotel Lounge in Red Deer. “We do a bit of everything from ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. We do rock ‘n’ roll, pop, Beatles, Elvis, Bryan Adams, Lonestar.” She is also looking forward to performing a classical concert with a pianist from Bulgaria in Red Deer next month. When Fuss-Dutz hooked up with Bergeron, her country music gene kicked in and her fingers danced across the keyboard in perfect rhythm with the country singer. It seems like it was truly meant to be. “I cut my teeth on country music,” she said. “And I believe if God opens a door, He wants me to go through it.” Bergeron, who moved to Rimbey last year, is a singer/songwriter/recording artist and producer. Her debut CD, Makin’ A Connection, was recorded in Nashville in 1998 at Gatlin Brothers Studio. Her second CD, She Drives, produced by Mesh Studios in Burnaby, B.C., received rave reviews in Canada and European countries and was nominated for Album of the Year through the British Columbia Country Music Association. Bergeron has twice been the Country Gospel Performer of the Year with the British Columbia Country Music Association. Her latest CD, which came out last Christmas, The Gift, features 12 tracks, nine of which Bergeron wrote herself. Bergeron says her music is truly a gift from God, adding it gives her great pleasure to share her talent with others knowing she has touched someone’s life in a positive way. “It gives me joy,” she said. Working with Fuss-Dutz has been most rewarding, she said. “She is so much fun and a great asset to me as a singer. I am looking forward to lots of performances together.”

Thank you!

The Town of Sylvan Lake whole heartedly thanks Dan Roy and the rest of the crew at Big Bang for their efforts in ensuring our Community a Âżreworks show on Canada Day. Big Bang was severely affected by the Ă&#x20AC;ooding in High River, which resulted in a near cancellation of the Canada Day Âżreworks; however thanks to Dan Roy and his crew, we were still able to enjoy a show. Smaller in scope than originally planned, Dan Roy and Big Bang generously offered to cover the costs of the smaller show and insisted that they will reschedule a bigger, more spectacular demonstration later in the year. While the Town of Sylvan Lake very much appreciates the offer of a free-of-charge mini show, we have declined, and will pay the full cost of the now two pyrotechnics shows. The Town of Sylvan Lake cannot accept such a free service in light of what the company, its staff, and their families are dealing with in light of the Ă&#x20AC;ooding. We do look forward to a rescheduled, larger-than-life Âżreworks show, worthy of a Centennial Celebration, and are very much grateful that Big Bang was still able to provide us with some entertainment for Canada Day.

Cody’s grad class of 2013 lauded Continued from page 1 “What a spectacular moment,” said Mayor Susan Samson, referring to the entrance of the graduates into the multiplex. “We’re all so proud of you.” Since the town is celebrating its 100th birthday, she chose the opportunity to provide a brief history lesson. The first school in Sylvan Lake was Sylvan Dell School, established in 1912, she said. Records from 1913 show that Grades 1-7 were taught to a register of 27 students. In 1915 the school was renamed Sylvan Lake School. With a growing population a new tworoom school was built in 1938 that included Grades 1-11 and Grade 12 students were bussed to Lindsay Thurber in Red Deer. Another new 12-room school was built on the same site in 1959 but it was not until the two-storey addition was added in 1962 that the renovated school could accommodate Grades 1-12. The old school was moved, renovated and has served as the town hall since 1962. In 1979, when a new elementary school was built, Sylvan Lake School changed its name to H. J. Cody School after a well respected teacher who taught 36 years at Sylvan Lake School. That year there were 43 graduates

and the town’s population was 3,345. This year, with 135 graduates, including five honorary international graduating students, the town’s population is approximately 13,000. “Oh my goodness, how we have grown!” Samson exclaimed. The transition into adulthood comes with rights, duties and privileges including active citizenship, she said. “What is active citizenship? It is people getting involved in their local communities and democracy at all levels. It means getting involved in making changes, playing a part in informed decision making, helping out, making a difference.” “We are seeing this playing out in real life with the flooding in Southern Alberta. Individuals, not seeking praise or recognition, are lending their labour, skills, money and sometimes just listening so that they can be part of the recovery solution. This is active citizenship and it is in each and every one of us.” She used those comments to announce the new Mayor’s Citizenship Award which she presented to Brooklyn Soley. MLA Kerry Towle congratulated graduates noting “it takes a lot of hard work, determination and dedication. Enjoy this moment, breathe it in.” She thanked parents for

their hard work, patience and dedication. Then she applauded teachers, staff and the community of Sylvan Lake for their roles in guiding the students. “Remember your family, community and those who have value in your life,” Towle encouraged. “Don’t worry, your passion will find you, relax and

wait for it … You don’t need to be perfect, use your imagination and creativity.” H. J. Cody Choir sang two special selections during the ceremony, Until We Meet Again and Come What May. Shaye Lyons received a standing ovation after she performed a song written

specially for the graduating class called Highway Called Life. “Ever since I was in Grade 6 I knew I wanted to write a song for my grad class,” she said. Guest speaker Sean McIntyre told graduates their potential is really limitless. “The future is indeed bright but it won’t all be roses.” (See separate story

for more on his comments.) McIntyre was introduced by Chantel Head and Piper MacArthur. The valedictorian address was presented by Bennett Hreherchuk and Alex Donaghy. (It’s printed verbatim elsewhere in today’s Sylvan Lake News.) Then it was time to

present Grade 12 Commencement Certificates. As teacher Jas Payne read the future plans of students, Principal Dave Elwood and Vice Principals Mike Garrow and Darcy Marshall congratulated students and presented their certificates. A banquet was held in Red Deer in the evening.

“We will pursue excellence because that is who were are” by Bennett Hreherchuk & Alex Donaghy Special to Sylvan Lake News

We are here to celebrate the end of a 12 year routine. One which involved homework and grouchy mornings, canteen lunches featuring taco in a bag and naps during class time. It involved laughing (lots of laughing, specifically 44 times in one class for no apparent reason), dino-sours, bruised shins, Harlem shakes, and “YOLO.” It also included a few apocalypse scares: Y2K and the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012. Imagine; being scared over too many zeros and not enough stone. There was also one

particularly memorable Borat swimsuit. I am sad to say that I know the exact colour of the one we all have in mind. During these 12 years, we’ve excelled at sports and the arts, become craftsmen, bakers, citizens, scientists, directors and more. We are about to leave this familiar groove to take part in a world that expects more and gives less. In this new world, our timing might be off now and then. There will be no bells to tell us when to move on to our next lesson. When the time is right and what actions to take will be up to us. We may stumble sometimes and things might happen that will have us, on occasion, flying by the

Valedictorians were Bennett Hreherchuk and Alex Donaghy. STEVE DILLS

seat of our pants. A growling stomach, a stained shirt, an empty gas tank, a brain fart when trying to finish a speech, socks that don’t match or even as Neil Gaiman said: “exploding cats.”. No matter what, as

we go in the direction of our goals, we will pursue excellence because that is who we are. We know that with every step forward the people that raised us, those that taught us and those that cared about us, will continue to be there to give us the courage to carry on. We can feel pressured to have our future planned in this instant and to be able to explain who, what, when, where and how to anyone who asks. We’re allowed not to know and to change our minds! All the things that we are right now are only fractional bits of the people we will become but we don’t need to be certain today about who we are going to be tomorrow. The human experience for each of us will be

unique and memorable. We would like express our appreciation to parents, teachers, family and friends for the role they have played in our lives and their continued support as we learn all the things the world has yet to teach us. We hope you always remember this as a great conclusion to 12 years of dedication. This graduation signifies a milestone where our paths, that have been joined for so long, are about to diverge. Thank you, Grad class of 2013, for sharing this part of the journey with us. If it is true that we are the result of all the people we have met, then I think, already, this particular batch of individuals is something special.

Sylvan Lake Career High School Class of 2013! Principal’s Address: On behalf of the staff and students of the Chinook’s Edge Career High Schools in Didsbury, Innisfail, Olds, Red Deer and Sylvan Lake I would like to offer sincere congratulations to the class of 2013. The students’ efforts in reaching their goal of obtaining an Alberta High School Diploma should be celebrated, as it is an important milestone in life. Our students should be proud of the dedication and commitment they have shown in meeting their goal of graduation. Certainly, the staff and

their classmates are proud of each of the graduates. In the future, whether life takes our graduates to college, university or to an apprenticeship, we hope the lessons of commitment, dedication and hard work that they have learned at school will serve them well. We wish all the best to each graduate. Thank you for attending and achieving your goals at the Chinook’s Edge Career High Schools. Daryl Brown Principal Chinook’s Edge Career High Schools

Scott McDermott is one of only 40 people from around the world who will take part in this year’s Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. The three-day event is billed on its website as an “athletic odyssey of personal rediscovery” and the “next step in the endurance challenge of being human”. Over three days beginning Nov. 29, participants will run, swim and bike 515 kilometres around the Big Island of Hawaii. Its intense physical nature means only those with the strongest athletic abilities are able to compete, and McDermott, a Sylvan Lake triathlete, is relishing the thought of being one of them. “It’s a big honour,” he said. “It’s a little intimidating, obviously, but it’s exciting.” Long distance races are nothing new to McDermott. In 2011, he participated in Ultraman Canada Championships in Penticton, B.C., where he finished sixth overall and earned his spot at the world championships.

Training outdoors, he said, may become difficult in Sylvan Lake as weather conditions change. “In mid-September, I’m not going to be able to swim in the lake any more, so to train for a 10-kilometre swim in the pool is really difficult. “It’s definitely going to be a challenge to train in September, October and November when I can’t be outside.” More information about the competition is available online at ultramanlive.com.

Rotary’s golf tourney best ever, raised over $8,000 for scholarships by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Emily Girard, Elianna Mulholland, Zoe DeJonge enjoyed a succesful weekend of swimming.

CINDY GIRARD

personal best in 100m freestyle and placed in the top 11 for the 100m & 200m backstroke. Emily Girard will join Elizabeth Moore, Amber Carson and Chase Murdoch at provincials

the first weekend in July. Lexi Sparrow represented Sylvan Lake Nauticals in Missoula, Montana for the Firecracker Classic June 28th-30th.

An enthusiastic and fun loving group of 81 golfers hit the links June 21 during the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake’s annual golf tournament at Meadowlands Golf Club. “Highlights of the day were the generous contributions of hole sponsors and the silent auction,” said lead organizer Joyce Megson. “The golf course was in excellent shape, a great meal and wonderful volunteers made the event the best of the past three

years.” Over $8,000 was raised for scholarships which are presented to students at Bentley, Eckville and H. J. Cody high schools. Sylvan Lake Lacrosse members participated with generosity and enrolment of golf teams, said Megson. Rotary will help them with their fundraising activities. The tournament’s winning team included Dan Weik, Tim Harris, Chad Tallon and Jon Gulayets with a score of 13 under. Other individual golfers won hole prizes.
