- A field full of lovingly polished and brightly coloured cars and trucks awaited enthusiasts who wandered through rows of close to 200 vehicles at Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics show and shine on Saturday. The seventh annual event was held at Meadowlands Golf Club. Threatening clouds passed overhead late in the afternoon prompting some of those in convertibles to head for home. In the foreground is the 1957 Fargo Sweptside owned by Ronald Scott of Eckville with its custom painted scene of the United Grain Growers elevators at Eckville.

Potential for disastrous mussels arriving at Sylvan Lake a factor in launch discussion by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Concern is rippling through our lakeside community about the danger zebra and quagga mussels pose to Sylvan Lake’s health. The fear is boats used in lakes and rivers south of the border will carry these dangerous freshwater species to our area. At the same time, municipalities around the lake have met to consider how to create another boat launch to meet public demand. But there’s concern it may have to be monitored so boats can be inspected before allowed in the water. One infected boat was discovered bound for Sylvan Lake last year. More and more has been said in the past three months about a growing trend of highly destructive mussels moving across the United States and their potential to attach to boats coming north for use in Sylvan and

other Alberta lakes. Zebra and quagga mussels can spread quickly and live out of water for up to 30 days. Once introduced to a waterbody, they are virtually impossible to eradicate and can cause millions of dollars in damage to wateroperated infrastructure and harm aquatic ecosystems. The concern is so high, in fact, that the Alberta government launched a new watercraft inspection program. Boats and water equipment entering Alberta from other jurisdictions will be examined for invasive plants and animals, like Eurasian watermilfoil and zebra and quagga mussels, stated an information bulletin from Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (AESRD) in mid-June. “If a boat is found to have zebra or quagga mussels, it will be decontaminated or the owner will be asked to keep the watercraft out of Alberta’s water for up to 30 days. If Eurasian watermilfoil or other plants are found

on the watercraft, it will be washed on site. “The inspections are part of a larger program safeguarding Alberta’s waterways from non-native species. The initiative also includes a new monitoring program for adult and juvenile mussels as part of AESRD’s ongoing surface water quality monitoring program.” Two directors of Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society are now Certified Watercraft and Equipment Inspectors after taking a course at Red Deer County June 27. President Graeme Strathdee and Past President Kim Schmitt participated in the training course hosted by the province. Blayne West, Lacombe County’s environmental coordinator and Art Preachuk, Red Deer County’s agricultural manager also successfully completed the “Inspection and Decontamination of Watercraft for Zebra/Quagga Mussels” course and are now Level One operators, reported Strathdee on the society’s website.

The threat of these creatures is also entering discussions about future lake access for boaters who want to enjoy Sylvan Lake. Currently there’s an unsupervised boat launch at Sunbreaker Cove which is operated by Lacombe County. There’s a privately-run launch at the marina in Sylvan Lake. As well, several informal launches exist at the end of roads leading into the lake. Red Deer County, earlier this year, began a process to try and close the Range Road 21 access to large boats. In reference to that, Strathdee, on behalf of Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society’s 400 members, wrote Alberta Transportation Minister Ric McIver. Continued from Page 1 He noted that Red Deer County had begun a proposal to modify access to Sylvan Lake at the range road and explored alternatives during a public hearing. “Since that public hearing was concluded, the threat posed to Sylvan

Lake by invasive species, particularly zebra and quagga mussels … has become better defined. “Experts in Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development have reported on a 2012 case in which a Sylvan Lake-bound boat was intercepted at the Idaho-B.C. border. The threat is real and not theoretical.” Strathdee stressed, “the consequence of contamination of Sylvan Lake by mussels would be catastrophic for both the recreational environment and for property values.” “Continued lake access by rural roads such as Range Road 21 that function as lake access points without provision for inspection for invasive species or for decontamination of watercraft, poses a risk that should be taken into account in your decisions on both traditional uses of roads and upgrading of onshore infrastructure.”

Swainson planning to seek school board seat by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

After a three year absence, Jackie Swainson has announced she’s again going to run for a position on Chinook’s Edge School Division’s board of trustees. She represented the Sylvan Lake area on the board for 12 years before deciding not to run in the last election. “I had some personal family plans with my daughter Jessica,” she said of that decision. “We’ve accomplished them, she’s built a fabric and jewellery boutique business on the farm.” Another reason for getting involved again is that she has two grandchildren entering the school system this fall, one in pre-Kindergarten and another in Kindergarten. “I’m back to having a vested interest in schools.” Swainson said she’s “really, really

Jackie Swainson concerned about the lack of profile we have in Sylvan Lake for our schools. We should be leaders, we should be out there more.” She decided to announce her candidacy now because every time she comes to town someone asks if she would run again. Swainson currently serves on the Olds College board of governors. “That gives me a unique perspective for working with Kindergarten to Grade 12 and transitioning into post-secondary. Some of the plans and goals of post-secondary have

been changing. (That knowledge) will be a more valuable asset that I didn’t have before, I’m really enjoying it.” Before stepping down in 2010, Swainson spent 12 years on the school board, six of those as vice chairman. She was chair of the negotiating committee for 10 years and served for six years on the Alberta School Boards Association representing this area, the last three as a director. She added, “the last three years I’ve been having fun being a grandma”. Current school board trustee Joe-Anne Matejka announced she’s seeking another term during the unveiling of the Stockholm sign at Burnt Lake Community Centre, June 20. At that time she told the audience she’ll also be running for the county council seat being vacated by George Gehrke who’s not seeking re-election.

Scouts left CJ ’13 with plenty of memories, new friends by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

Meeting new friends from all over Canada and the world is just one of the things Scouts will remember most about their time at last week’s Canadian Scout Jamboree 2013 (CJ ’13) held at Camp Woods. “This is what I live for,” said Sarah Savic Kallesoe, who travelled from Burnaby, B.C., to attend the jamboree. “I’ve met so many new people, and I think this is the highlight of scouting.” Savic Kallesoe is a member of the jamboree’s public relations team, and has been involved with scouting since she was five years old. CJ ’13 marked her first jamboree as a volunteer, and she was one of many who helped create an unforgettable experience for those who attended. “It’s wonderful because you have this sort of connecting bond. Everybody has something in common, and that something is scouting,” she said. The large size of the jamboree, which hosted 6,500 Scouts, leaders and volunteers between July 6 and 13, meant much help was needed to ensure their stay at Camp Woods was both fun and safe. Some who attended likened the camp site to a small city — complete with its own daily newspaper, radio station, police force and medical centre. It even had its own currency in badges, which were traded between Scouts eager to add to and enhance their collections. “I got a picture of a girl sitting down in the corner with her guitar case open and she was strumming, and rather than people throwing money in, people were throwing badges in,” said Savic Kallesoe. Trading stalls displaying badges they were willing to trade were set up by some Scouts, she said. At

times the site resembled a marketplace. Badge trading is a common activity among Scouts, and jamborees offer a good opportunity to obtain rare and exotic badges from different places and events. Some Scouts keep them to use in bargaining, while others show them off by sewing them onto a wearable blanket. “As you progress, you get more and more badges, and a blanket is really a Scout’s storybook,” said Savic Kallesoe. “It tells you where you’ve been, what you’ve done, what you like and who you’ve met. It’s really personal.” As well as trading badges, Scouts at CJ ’13 took part in a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, archery, sailing and orienteering. Scouts were also given a chance to demonstrate their skills and talents during onsite talent shows. A care corps assisted those experiencing feelings of homesickness, or who simply needed someone to talk to.

“We have a whole headquarters dedicated just to people who are there to listen,” said Savic Kallesoe. CJ ’13 concluded with a ceremony last Friday evening. Chief commissioner Andrew Price declared the jamboree officially closed, before Kingston, Ontario’s the Abrams Brothers performed several songs. Some Scouts left for home that night, while others left Saturday morning. On their way out, all of them adhered to the Scouts’ leave-notrace policy by picking up at least two pieces of garbage. Many — Savic Kallesoe included — were already looking forward to future scouting events, and the chance to meet once again with Scouts from areas and backgrounds different than their own. “Scouting offers so many opportunities, it’s mind-blowing,” she said. “Regardless of who you are or where you come from, you’re welcomed into the arms of scouting. “That’s just how it is.”

Beach

- Contractors arrived last Wednesday to put down a layer of sand on the southeast corner of the pier to create an area for children to play. The town picked up the $25,000 cost to restore sand to the area after the province refused to contribute money for the improvement to the provincial park. A media release from the town’s communications coordinator, Joanne Gaudet, said the area will be “regularly monitored to prevent run off into the lake”. The project was supposed to be completed prior to the July long weekend, but persistent rains postponed the work. STEVE DILLS

Mussels arriving a factor... Continued from Page 1 As summer progresses, a committee of representatives from municipalities around the lake is considering the need and options for a new boat launch site on the lake. Sylvan Lake’s Chief Administrative Officer, Betty Osmond, reported to council July 8 that she and Mayor Susan Samson attended a meeting at Lacombe County to discuss a boat launch. “Issues to be addressed were public demand for more access, public safety, environmental considerations due to the threat of invasive species, and control of noise, garbage and other enforcement problems. “Each municipality agreed to bring the matter back to their council to seek endorsement for moving forward to determine a site, develop a concept and preliminary costing,” her report said. Albertans are asked to report suspicious materials on boats or equipment using a toll-free hotline 1-855-336-2628 (BOAT). If you are using your boat in more than one waterbody, be sure to clean, drain and dry your boat and equipment before moving to another. This is especially important if you boat outside the province, according to the

Signs highlighting the need to protect Sylvan Lake against aquatic invasive species entering the lake on boats have been erected by Red Deer County. This sign is at the end of Range Road 21 where it enters the lake. STEVE DILLS

Will provincial government’s ban on floodway building go far enough? Albertans on the hook for at least a billion dollars to help our neighbours in other parts of the province recover from floods that ravaged their homes and businesses, may soon be looking at an even steeper bill. Should we be prepared to pay? Of course. It’s only right that taxpayers should share the burden and correct the mistakes our governments, both provincial and municipal, have made in the past. Albertans should have heeded the lessons learned in other jurisdictions and banned building of residential, commercial and industrial structures on flood plains many years ago. Now our provincial government is making the first baby steps to mitigating some of the danger from future acts of Mother Nature. In a news release issued Sunday, Doug Griffiths, Chair of the Ministerial Flood Recovery Task Force, announced the government’s

plan to provide money for people with homes located within a floodway to rebuild or relocate to a new location outside flood risk areas. Another portion of the program provides funding for “specific mitigation infrastructure that will protect buildings within a flood fringe area (such as berms, water control infrastructure, raising a house, etc.)” The kicker in Griffith’s statement is the following, where he anticipates land banking at a level never seen in Alberta. “Any land made available by Albertans moving out of flood risk areas will be made available for municipal flood mitigation infrastructure or for recreational use such as picnic areas, parks, cycling and hiking paths.” We applaud the idea. Yes, we have to get people to areas where their lives won’t be destroyed every few years by rampaging water. But what is the cost going to be?

Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Griffiths also states, legislative changes will be made this fall that will require municipalities to stop approving development in floodways. It’s interesting to note that “these new policy directions align with federal flood assistance programs and bring Alberta in line with provinces such as Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec which have various policies and limits on development in flood hazard areas.” The government’s website (alberta.ca/Preventing-FloodDamage.cfm) includes the province’s flood hazard map which categories areas as floodway, flood fringe, overland flow or under review. “More than 70 per cent of Alberta’s populated areas are

mapped or do not require mapping due to low-to-no flood hazard. Staff continue to work on mapping the rest of the province,” states the website. Zooming in on our little part of the world, we see no areas marked around Sylvan Lake, but significant areas in Eckville, Lacombe, Red Deer and Markerville where rivers flow through the communities. Wouldn’t it be great to see all those areas become park lands for the use and enjoyment of all residents? The other question however, is the depth of the province’s response. They appear to be concerned only about rivers spilling over their banks due to rapid heavy rainfalls or snow melts. But, in Sylvan Lake’s case, there seems no appreciation for the flooding potential of a lake filling to the breaking point and spilling through heavily populated areas. A quick drive along Sylvan’s

shoreline in the cottage area will show just how much below the lake level some of those structures sit while being protected by the massive berm called Lakeshore Drive. Then there are plans in the Summer Village of Jarvis Bay to build on the Twin Fawn site, a former wetland filled to mere inches above the lake level. In Sylvan Lake and around the shore are more examples of developers building or hoping to build in wetland areas (think Westend Landing) that could be prone to flooding but also could damage a fragile ecosystem. Or swamps drained, houses erected and the hum of sump pumps a constant signal of relief for homeowners. Municipal officials and our elected representatives would be well advised to watch very carefully the ministrations of the provincial government this fall as it struggles to create a new policy.

Memories will warm winter as summer’s ‘to do’ list remembered I’m not sure if I like summer or Christmas best, but, really, I think it would have to be summer. It’s cheaper, it lasts longer and Mother Nature does all the decorating. Plus, it’s much warmer. The downside, of course, is it’s over faster than a wave on the ocean or a sunset that suddenly, without warning, drops out of sight. This year, I decided to make a ‘top 10’ list of things to do before summer mysteriously vanishes into oblivion like waves and sunsets. I decided to do the list so that one day, in the deep dark recesses of winter, I can pull up those memories and warm up. I decided on the list when I was sitting on the deck of a very

expensive home located in Inveremere, B.C. I was lucky to be there. I knew that for sure. It’s not everyday that a working girl such as myself gets to live in such luxurious surroundings complete with fancy coffee makers and expensive wines and hired help who do stuff I am perfectly capable of doing myself. The cabin was, by no stretch of imagination, really not a cabin at all, but one of those homes people look at when they drift by in a little boat, with an outboard motor that works sometimes, muttering to themselves “oh my gosh, look at those houses where all the rich people live. Must be in oil!” Anyway, for a couple of days I lived in all this splendor, in the

Treena Mielke On the other side

fancy cabin with people who had an even fancier boat that apparently never, ever broke down. And, it was then, when I was sitting on the deck, being humbly grateful for being there, I thought about the list. As I pondered the idea, I realized a couple of my ‘summer bucket list’ things had already happened. They had to do with flowers and children and doing that thing so many of us adults forget to do and absolutely nothing to do with money.

Live in the moment. Stay in the room. Feel the sunshine. Hear the laughter. Watch a child. Do what they do! I was out walking through a brown ribbon of a trail with two of my grandsons; one in a stroller, one on a skateboard. The sun obligingly smiled on us, and in the background these great huge craggy mountains filled in the rest of the postcard perfect day into which we had been dropped. We walked and talked, with me stopping every now and then to pick a flower. They were dotted all over, brown-eyed Susans, springing up in reckless abandon, the way Mother Nature does her decorating. My grandson was talking to me, seriously like he does and the baby was not, mostly

because he can’t really talk a lot yet, only suck his thumb and rub his tummy and observe. I didn’t think about it until later, but I realized I could check one thing of my list. Spend quality time with grandchildren! And, it simply happened because I was in the right place at the right time. Traipsing through the woods with two handsome boys, feeling the sun warm on my hair and emerging with a handful of flowers. Does it get any better? Moments! They only need to happen once to provide a memory that will last forever. Life is good that way! Now for the rest of the list!

Part of Lakeshore Drive to be closed for Sunday’s race Dixon from Outback Events. Volunteers will direct traffic around the area. The ninth annual event has athletes from British Columbia and Alberta already registered. The Iron triathlon race begins at 8 a.m. with a 2 km. swim then transitioning at Centennial Park for a 90 km bike ride followed by a 21 km run. The bike course goes west from Sylvan Lake along Township Road

by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Traffic will be disrupted on Lakeshore Drive Sunday as about 250 to 300 triathletes participate in the annual Sylvan Lake Half Iron and 1/60/10 events. There will be no parking or vehicle traffic on Lakeshore Drive from 44th Street east to 50th Avenue/33rd Street from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to Joe

390 (formerly Highway 11A) to Highway 11 continuing west to Highway 766 then north through Eckville to Rainy Creek Road (Township Road 400) where it does a loop across to Range Road 24 and back to Highway 766, then north again to Highway 12, east to Highway 20 and back into town to transition at Centennial Park. “A rolling bike course of one loop past rural Alberta farms with some

short climbs and fast descents awaits athletes,” states the event’s website. The four lap run portion goes from Centennial Park east along Lakeshore Drive, northeast along 50A Avenue and follows the road as it loops back to Jarvis Bay Drive (before it hits Sylvan Creek), to a turnaround point at 31st Street. The 1/60/10 race is in its second year and includes a one km swim, 60 km bike ride and 10 km run. The bike course for this race is similar to that of the Iron race but sees riders going straight east across Rainy

Creek Road to Highway 20 instead of looping and going up to Highway 12. The run course is the same but is two laps instead of four. “We are excited to be back in Sylvan Lake in what we think is the best venue for triathlon in the province,” said Dixon. The event will serve as a qualifying event for Subaru Ironman Canada in August.

Fraud suspect charged by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

A man who used fake and prepaid credit cards to obtain property in Red Deer, Sylvan Lake and Innisfail, has been apprehended and charged. Companies such as NAPA Auto Parts and Kal-Tire were identified as victims, according to a news release from Cpl. Leanne Molzahn of Red Deer City RCMP. A roadside traffic stop was conducted by Red Deer RCMP on June 29 after they received information about a male who allegedly obtained property fraudulently. As a result, “approximately $20,000 worth of property obtained by crime and a quantity of methamphetamine” was located. The following day a judicially authorized search warrant was executed on a vehicle and residence in Red Deer and police recovered an additional $30,000 in property obtained by the same suspect who used the alias Jaime Gonzales. Josil Francisco Cabuhat, 32, of Red Deer, was charged with 16 Criminal Code charges including fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and fraudulent use of a credit card. Two 25-year-old males are facing charges of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and possession of methamphetamine. Red Deer RCMP are continuing to investigate.

New staff added to town in project management capacity by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

A new project manager’s position has been created and another position upgraded to create a second project manager’s position during a reorganization of town departments. Councillors approved the additional position at an estimated annual cost of $110,000, during their meeting July 8. Chief Administrative Officer Betty Osmond, in making the request for an additional position, reported on a re-organization within town staff. Primary changes are that the Community and Social Development department will no longer be a separate department under its own director; Family & Community Social Services (FCSS) will become a division of a new Community Services Department created by its amalgamation with Leisure and Protective Services, with Ron Lebsack as it’s director. A new FCSS manager, Kelly Smith, started July 8 and will report to Lebsack. Building and building maintenance will move from leisure and protective services to public works. The project manager positions will be within the public works department. “Directors of Leisure and Protective Services and Public Works currently have extensive involvement in project management,” said Osmond’s report. “This workload responsibility needs to be reduced to allow more time for senior management duties including long range planning, development and implementation of initiatives and systems to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, and overall monitoring of productivity and effectiveness.”

Osmond indicated that the town has contracted an ‘owner’s representative’ for the last two major capital building projects, the RCMP building and town hall, however this didn’t go far enough to reduce senior management time invested in managing the overall projects. As well, the town has re-evaluated its engineering technician position which included a substantial portion of time allocated to project management or owner’s representatives responsibilities. “The job description is changing to better align with the proposed new position and to address the requirements for capital asset management.” Rapid growth in the town’s capital assets is requiring more internal resources to effectively manage these assets, Osmond indicated. “We are currently building our asset inventory. The project management positions will provide more internal resources for the effective management of these capital assets. This includes the implementation and ongoing maintenance of an asset management system that will assist in planning and decision making regarding the maintenance, operation, replacement and expansion of the town’s infrastructure. Building, parks, roads, water and sewer infrastructure are expanding rapidly and there is a clear trend showing that this growth will continue in the next several years. Specialist knowledge, training and time is required to maintain the system and to use it effectively. The creation of two project manager positions will provide the additional resources necessary to make an asset management system reach its potential.” Recruiting for the new position will take place immediately.

Efforts to make this year’s Shake the Lake the best in the festival’s sixyear history have been well underway for more than a year now, according to festival co-ordinator Sean McIntyre. Organizers began planning this year’s edition of the hugely popular family-friendly action sports and music festival last July — one month before Shake the Lake 2012 had even begun. Doing so has allowed them plenty of time to carry out preparations for moving the festival to its new beachfront location in downtown Sylvan Lake, where live music, skateboarding, vendors and family activities will occupy the green space just south of the pier for the festival’s first two days. “The biggest thing I’m excited about is bringing (the festival) downtown,” said McIntyre. “We’ve sort of been drawing people off the beach for five years, and now we’re combining those two attractions (Shake the Lake and the downtown area).” McIntyre feels the new location will create an enhanced festival atmosphere for the three-day festival, which begins on Aug. 9. Previous years have seen events spread out around the downtown core. “The more spread out we are as a festival, the more disconnected people seem to get,” said McIntyre. “We’re actually shrinking the space and really trying to get that festival atmosphere where everyone is together and having a good time.” On Sunday, Aug. 11, festival action will be moved to Sylvan Lake Multiplex, where enhanced BMX viewing opportunities will be offered. BMXers will benefit from the large open floor space inside the multiplex, while spectators there could potentially find reprieve from excessive heat or pouring rain, said McIntyre. A mixture of both local and nationally-recognized musical talent will take to the stage at Shake the Lake. The lineup includes indie-folk rockers Hey Ocean! and Victoria,

B.C.’s Acres of Lions as well as other acts from Central Alberta and across the country. With attendance of 1,000 in its 2008 inaugural year, Shake the Lake has grown remarkably, and attracted crowds of more than 10,000 people in recent years. A growing festival creates a growing need for volunteers and McIntyre is grateful to have so many people willing to help with preparations and at the event. “(Shake the Lake volunteers) have been working so hard, we’d be lost without them,” he said, adding he’s been blown away by volunteers’ level of commitment. About 300 volunteer shifts are required for the festival to run smoothly, he said. Another key area in ensuring the festival’s success is sponsorship, which has grown along with the festival’s popularity. National sponsors now join local businesses in supporting the event, and ensure the festival remains accessible to everyone. “We want to put on a great festival in our town, and it’s so important that it’s free of charge so that it doesn’t matter what your family’s financial situation is, you can come and have a great time for free,” said McIntyre. Importantly, local businesses whose properties lie near the festival site have also been co-operative, he added. A small number of fine details remain to be finalized, said McIntyre, who, along with other organizers and volunteers have been “working frantically” to ensure the festival is a success. “Our team is working really hard to make sure everything comes together and it’s the best festival we’ve put together yet.” A complete schedule of events will be available on the festival’s website at shakethelake.ca, on its Facebook page at facebook.com/shakethelake and through Twitter at twitter.com/shakethelake. The festival will take place rain or shine, according to McIntyre. “Everyone’s invited and it’s totally family friendly,” he said. “It’s going to be the best festival we’ve ever done.”

Lacombe County environment report launched by Stuart Fullarton Sylvan Lake News

After more than a year and a half of work, the completed Lacombe County State of the Environment Report was officially launched at Ellis Bird Farm near Lacombe Saturday. “We’re really proud of this document,” said Lacombe County environmental coordinator Blayne West, who likened compiling the document to writing a thesis. The report was created to provide current information on the environment in the county. The information it presents may have an impact on environment-related procedures in the future, according to Reeve Ken Wigmore. “Through the compiling of this information, it became evident to Lacombe County that it needed to be a leader and to look within its own operation to assess how it works with and around environmental issues

Lacombe County environmental co-ordinator Blayne West and Reeve Ken Wigmore officially launched the State of the Environment Report at Ellis Bird Farm Saturday. STUART FULLARTON

and needs,” he said. “This means we may have to change our ways when it comes to building roads, moving or digging out gravel, and change the way we do things with our agricultural operations — all with the goal in mind to leave Lacombe

County a better place for future generations.” New information, as it becomes available, will be added to the document every year, Wigmore added. It will be updated and rewritten in its entirety in about five years. Work on the document began in early

2012 with the creation of focus groups in each of the county’s seven divisions. A telephone survey was carried out with 400 county residents. “The vision was decided by the people of Lacombe County,” said West. “People provided us with an idea of where they want to go, and all of that information is contained in this document.” The full report is available in print at Lacombe County office, or online at lacombecounty.com. Information from the report will be used to create an environmental management plan for the county. Speaking at the launch at Ellis Bird Farm, West acknowledged county councillors, all of whom were in attendance, for their support of the report’s creation. “These things are really important documents and we wouldn’t be able to do it unless we had the support of our community and our councillors behind us.”

Proposed change would eliminate requirement for home business permits by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Farm families operating minor home businesses won’t have to apply for development permits under changes being proposed to Lacombe County’s Land Use Bylaw. Councillors, last Thursday, accepted for information a draft of changes proposed by staff based on a committee of the whole meeting June 20. The next step is to introduce a bylaw to incorporate the changes to the Land Use Bylaw. That will be presented for first reading at the next council meeting, said planner Anita O’Driscoll. The definition of a home business, minor will also be changed to allow for outside storage of farm equipment used in a farming operation. A home business, minor, is described as a secondary use of a principal dwelling, its accessory buildings, or combination thereof, by at least one resident of the dwelling to conduct a business or activity or occupation. It does not include any non-resident onsite employees, or clients visiting the site. While operators of these types of businesses won’t have to obtain a development permit, they will be “encouraged to complete” an information form “to ensure that the business meets the criteria for a minor home based business and so the county has a record of the business as a deemed approval”. A second change to the Land Use Bylaw would increase the size of ancillary buildings that can be approved by county staff in country residential subdivisions. Currently any accessory building over 1,500 square feet has to be approved by the county’s Municipal Planning Commission. A change is planned to increase that so the development officer may approve accessory buildings where the total building area is 232.25 square metres (2,500 square feet) or less. The final change proposed is to significantly increase the type of businesses permitted in the general commercial, highway commercial and commercial (Hamlet of Mirror) districts. O’Driscoll said land in the commercial districts is not as in demand as industrial land in the county. One reason is that commercial businesses like to have municipal water and sewer services. Another is the scope of 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477) uses permitted, particuWe want your INFO... larly in the highway com...NOT your name

mercial areas. Added to the permitted uses in general commercial districts would be animal grooming facility, commercial school, custom manufacturing, government service, landscaping sales and service and veterinary clinic. Added to discretionary uses would be care centre and repair services. Besides the above, financial service, health service, office and personal service establishment would be added to permitted uses in highway commercial districts. Veterinary hospital would be added under discretionary uses in this district. Possible uses in the Mirror district would expand with addition of animal grooming facility, commercial school, custom manufacturing, financial service, government service, health service and landscaping sales and service as permitted uses and care centre and educational service added as discretionary uses. Daycare facility would be removed from discretionary uses since the definition of care centre would include this use. A series of definitions for the different uses was included in the proposal. Once councillors have given first reading to a bylaw making these changes a public hearing is required to hear from ratepayers before second and third reading may be given.

Tents won’t be restricted by Steve Dills Sylvan Lake News

Intriguing - Four history boards chronicling information and photos about the founding families of Sylvan Lake are the latest additions to the history boards that are rotating through the community to celebrate our Centennial. The boards, at various locations from banks to community facilities, will be moved every two weeks during the summer and then weekly in the fall, according to Judy Scanland. The project ended with 77 boards created by various community groups and people covering a wide range of history. They were displayed during Centennial events in June and are now back on their rotation circuit. STEVE DILLS

A proliferation of tents in the provincial park and more and more in Centennial Park prompted councillors to ask what could be done. The report that came back to their July 8th meeting recommended taking no action to restrict tents. Ron Lebsack, director of community services, said the province has no restrictions in the provincial park and no intention of restricting them. RCMP and municipal enforcement officers have no concerns or complaints and haven’t dealt with any issues related to tents pitched in the area, he said. “It’s more an issue of the space it takes up on the beach,” said Councillor Dale Plante who initially raised the concern. “I’m comfortable with the fact it’s too hard to enforce but we should be aware of it (the issue). They’re growing greatly. This weekend they were tying hammocks to our trees.” Councillor Ken MacVicar agreed with Plante. “My concern is the park is where people should be able to enjoy themselves. The proliferation of these tents … I don’t see the need for them to be set up in a day park area. With more and more it may turn into more of a concern.” Councillor Laverne Asselstine said he’d spoken to a police officer casually

who had “sorted out some territorial issues”. The lack of a restriction on size was another concern Asselstine noted. “What about someone coming in with big marquee tents.” “I have seen a couple of legs and wires going over paths, over sidewalks in Centennial Park,” said Councillor Sean McIntyre. He thought council should at least address the issue of keeping pathways clear. Mayor Susan Samson suggested the town’s beach ambassadors collect information about the number of tents, identifying what’s happening and provide feedback at the end of the season. Lebsack’s report noted when Plante first raised the issue, councillors discussed a complete ban on tents or banning fully enclosed tents but allowing open faced tents designed specifically for creating shade. He indicated any restriction would require “very visible signage for information and enforcement”. A partial restriction, he said, would be “very had to enforce”. His recommendation was that council not proceed with restricting tents in Centennial Park. Asked about overnight camping, Lebsack said the town doesn’t allow it in Centennial Park, through a section of the Community Standards Bylaw. Overnight camping is not allowed in the provincial park either.

Winners included: Clarke Lamont, 1969 Camaro convertible; Ivan Kachanoski, 1948 GMC Canopy Express; Eric Christensen, 1953 Buick Custom; Ike Martens, 1957 Meteor Rideau 500; Gary Eisenbarth, 1934 Chevy Standard; Wayne Russell, 1950 Ford Woodie; Trevor Burge, 1969 Chev Camaro SS; Robin Griffiths, 1961 Pontiac Laurentian; Craig and Denise Phillips, 1961 Ford Wagon; and Garry Johnson, 1955 Chevy Bel Air convertible.

People travelled from all over Western Canada to attend the show and shine at Meadowlands Golf Club.

The seventh annual Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics Show and Shine on Saturday attracted classic car enthusiasts eager to show off their most prestigious rides. The event, held at Meadowlands Golf Club, already had about 100 vehicles on show by around 10 a.m., and finished with 173 entries. The number of both spectators and participants was an indication of the show’s growing popularity, according to Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics president Gord Bredo. “This year we’ve got great support, and we’ve got a number of good sponsors,” he said. “People that have come here, they always tell us that they have to come back, and they usually bring a friend.” Robin Griffiths of Galahad made sure his Bredo said there are a number of 1961 Pontiac Laurentian was flawless as it factors that contribute to the show’s was presented at Sylvan Lake Customs and appeal.

Suspended driver charged after rear-ending police cruiser Saturday, July 6th 3:48 a.m. – RCMP received a 911 call of a domestic dispute on Westview Drive in Sylvan Lake. A female advised that she wanted a male removed from her property as he was having a verbal and physical altercation with his girlfriend. She also advised that she witnessed him strike his girlfriend. Members attended, arrested and charged a 47-year-old male with assault. Police also took the 36-year-old female victim into custody for her own safety as she was highly intoxicated. She was released when sober. EMS treated both parties as a result of their respective physical conditions. 7:03 p.m. – Police attended Benalto Rodeo after security called to report that a large group of young campers needed to be evicted from the grounds. The director approached the group and asked them to leave but they refused and continued to create noise, throwing items around, and frightening animals at the rodeo. All were impaired and were

determined to be the same group of Sylvan Lake youths involved in several complaints reported last year at the rodeo. The group was disbanded and sent home via taxi and other means of transportation. 9:40 p.m. – RCMP pulled over a vehicle on Lakeshore Drive in Sylvan Lake after suspected impaired driving. The 33-year-old male driver was arrested. He refused to provide a breath sample and obstructed peace officers in the commission of their duty. As a result, he was formally charged with refusal to provide a breath sample and assault on a peace officer. 11:11 p.m. – A domestic dispute on Woodland Crescent in Sylvan Lake resulted in charges against a 31-year-old male. A 911 call was placed by a witness advising that she saw the male and a female arguing on the street and smashing things. The male pulled the female out of a vehicle and threw her to the ground as it appeared she was attempting to flee the area. The male is charged with

assault. Alcohol was a factor. Sunday, July 7th 3:33 a.m. – RCMP responded to Eckville after a complaint of an intoxicated male running around on 52 Avenue. The male was reported to be quite belligerent and wanting to start fights with people in the area. No weapons were seen. The 24-year-old male was located by police and was determined to be incapable of taking care of himself due to his level of intoxication. He was arrested for public intoxication and lodged in cells until sober. Tuesday, July 9th 11:28 a.m. – A male is facing charges as a result of colliding with the rear of a police cruiser on Lakeshore Drive at 49th Street in Sylvan Lake. A constable was attending to a complaint in the lakeshore area and signaled to

turn left onto Lakeshore Drive when a small black car collided with the back of his vehicle. The male was determined to be under a Criminal Code driving suspension at the time of the collision. He is now charged with driving while disqualified and following too closely. Wednesday, July 10th 2:25 a.m. – A 911 call was made after an intoxicated male was witnessed exposing himself at Hazzard County Bar in Sylvan Lake. The man appeared in his underwear at the bar and was refused service at which time he left. When the female staff member was closing up, she spotted the male again outside the front door where he had briefly removed his underwear, but she suspects it was due to him attempting to urinate. When members arrived, the 26-year-old male was found passed out in front of the bar. He was taken into cells until sober. 3:18 a.m. – Two males were issued fines as a result of a fight outside Chef Francisco’s bar on

Lakeshore Drive in Sylvan Lake. Witnesses report a 31-year-old intoxicated male was attempting to provoke people into fighting outside the bar. A 43-year-old male took up the offer and a fight ensued. The instigator was treated by EMS for cuts to his face and head but his injuries were not life threatening. Neither male wanted assault charges laid as it was a consensual fight, however, both were charged under the town bylaws for fighting in a public place. Thursday, July 11th 12:52 a.m. – An intoxicated 51-year-old female was arrested by police after causing a disturbance outside the Macs store on Sylvan Drive in Sylvan Lake. The female was shouting, swearing and attempting to start a fight with a group of youths. When police arrived, she was extremely incoherent and disoriented. EMS was called to do a physical assessment and she was deemed medically fit. She was then taken into custody and held until sober.

A second chance was the charm for bullrider Zane Lambert of Westbourne, Manitoba, as he scored 86 on his re-ride bull Painted Kisses to take first place at the end of the Benalto Rodeo performance.

Christine Ross of Botha rounded the first turn in ladies barrel racing on her way to a 16.932 time during the July 6 performance at Benalto Rodeo. While Cole Bevans, of Magrath, secured the head of a calf, partner Kyle Lucas, of Carstairs, was unsuccessful as he tried to get his loop around the back feet during team roping competition July 6 at Benalto Rodeo. The pair took a no time and end with just the applause of the audience to send them home.

Obituaries JENSEN Evelyn Beatrice “Bea” (nee Austin) August 17, 1926 - Eugene, Oregon July 14, 2013 - Calgary, Alberta Bea Jensen (nee Austin) passed away on Sunday, July 14, 2013 at the age of 86 years, surrounded by her loving son Merle Jensen (Diann) and grandchildren, Katharine and Alannah Jensen, all of Calgary and her loving daughter Lorna Jensen of Sylvan Lake, AB, and in spirit with her grandson Reece (Sarah) Jensen-Stilling and great-grandson Maysn Jensen-Stilling of Red Deer, AB.

Bea is also survived by her brother Eugene “Gene” (Carol) Austin of Red Deer; special friend Lloyd Hughes of Mayerthorpe, AB; and several nieces and nephews and their families and loving friends. Bea was born in Eugene, Oregon and raised near Sylvan Lake, AB. Besides the farm where she was raised, Bea also spent part of her earlier life in Turner Valley, Vancouver and then Benalto, where she met and married Moss. Bea and Moss moved to Red Deer, where they raised their family. Bea moved to Sylvan Lake in 2005 with her daughter Lorna and enjoyed family, friends and visits. She moved into the “Manor” in Eckville, AB in July 2013 where she was happy until injuries from a fall resulted in her transfer to the Foothills Medical Centre on July 11, 2013. Bea worked for many years as a nurse at Michener Centre in Red Deer. She loved playing cards and socializing with family and friends. Her home was always open to anyone young or old. A huge fan of the “Price is Right,” she was thrilled to be treated to a live show in Calgary this spring by her grandson Reece and she got to sit close enough to see the wheel. Bea will be sadly missed by all who loved her. Bea was predeceased by her husband Moss Jensen; infant son Larry Alan Jensen; infant brother Orley; brothers, William “Dick” and Harold Luther “Lute” Austin and sister Rosie Poffenroth. A Memorial Gathering will be held at a later date. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

Sylvan Lake News

Being around dying patients caused Eckville nurse Deborah Leitch to frequently question the meaning of life, and wonder what happens to a person’s energy after death. So much so, in fact, that she dedicated the entire plot of her recently published science fiction novel to the idea. “As a nurse, I worked both in an adult neurosurgery unit earlier in my career, and also in pediatric intensive care, and it wasn’t infrequent to stay or be with a patient when they were dying,” said Leitch, a registered nurse who works at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. “There’s almost like an aura that leaves the body when you die, and I’ve often just sat there thinking, where does it go? Where does our energy go?” In Leitch’s new 283-page novel, Heaven’s Gate, a young physicist explores the path of a person’s energy after death, while a physician tries to use that same energy to extend the lives of others. “There’s lots of religious philosophies about where it goes,” said Leitch. “So just reflecting about that I kind of took it to the next step: What if it didn’t get there? What if somebody captured that energy and used it for another purpose?” Leitch wrote the novel over a span of two years, and completed the majority of her work in the early hours of the morning each day before leaving for work. Writing between 5 and 7:30 a.m. allowed her to make the most of the time during which she feels she is most creative. “I’m an early morning riser, and that’s when I had my most creative moments,” she said. “I would sit there with my coffee and just gradually kind of work through. “It might be a paragraph one day, it might be just a line, and the next day it might be three pages.” Leitch is no stranger to writing, and has written for a variety of academic journals during her 33-year career in health care. Writing creatively, however, was a new experience for her, and one she hopes to pursue more often. “This is my first stab at taking a creative approach to writing, so it was a bit of a switch,”

Eckville nurse and author Deborah Leitch recently published Heaven’s Gate, a 283-page science fiction novel. SUBMITTED

she said. “It’s become like a hobby now, and I’ve already started on my next book.” Leitch has taught nursing at Mount Royal University in Calgary, and said she made use of her knowledge of health care in creating the plot for Heaven’s Gate.

That knowledge, combined with her love of science fiction — and authors such as Dean Koontz and Stephen King — made writing the novel seem like an obvious idea. “I love all the kind of traditional science fiction authors,” she said, adding that the inspi-

ration from Heaven’s Gate could not be attributed to one particular author or work. “I think just over history it’s come from a variety of different things I’ve read. I tend to follow similar kinds of ideas and writing styles, but I think that the idea that I chose — taking your energy and where it goes when you die — is kind of a new concept. “I haven’t seen that in any other science fiction novel that I’ve explored, so hopefully I’ve taken a novel approach.” Leitch said the hardest part of the novel writing process was getting the novel published. “When you get into the publishing piece, it’s a different world. It’s a business world,” she said. “Publishing is probably just as hard as the writing, and it’s going through that onerous process to make sure you’ve edited it correctly, and (deciding) are you going to self publish or are you going to try to go through a traditional publisher.” Leitch published Heaven’s Gate herself, using CreateSpace - an online self publishing program. Through the program, her novel was made available in both print and as an e-book through online retailer Amazon. Seeing her novel in print for the first time, Leitch had no doubt that her years of hardwork and the occasional bout of writer’s block were well worth it. “It’s quite an experience,” she said. “It’s a feeling of accomplishment: I created this and here it is. It’s really a book; it’s no longer just a manuscript on my computer.” Leitch aims to eventually have her books distributed and read widely, but for the time being, is focusing on getting the word out about Heaven’s Gate. “Now, of course, my next big goal is to get it read,” she said. “I’ve had people pre-editing and giving me feedback and comments all along, but I guess the real proof will be in whether or not it becomes a popular read.” As well as being available for purchase through Amazon, Heaven’s Gate may be borrowed from Eckville Municipal Library. Additional copies of the novel, Leitch said, will soon be distributed to other Parkland Regional Libraries in Central Alberta.
