Dog owners encouraged to ensure proper control following attack BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A vicious dog-on-dog attack on a trail near École Steffie Woima Elementary School has animal control officers advising dog walkers to ensure they’re in full control of their pets before taking them out for a walk.

The incident occurred the evening of Apr. 6, when a Westie dog, at the time being walked by its owner, was attacked by two larger dogs, whose owner was unable to restrain them. While the Westie is now on its way to a full recovery, it sustained injuries to its paw, neck and shoulder. A woman accompanying its walker also received a bite to the hand. Animal control officer Jim DeBoon said there

Severe head injuries resulted after longboarding crash 22 year old transported by STARS BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Fire Chief Steve Scanland who was off duty at the time, said Allemekinders, in a news release. EMS, police and fire department personnel attended the scene. A landing zone was established in the field behind nearby École Fox Run School by Sylvan Lake firefighters for STARS. “None of those involved were wearing safety equipment, including helmets,” said Allemekinders. “While the investigation is ongoing at this time, no charges have been laid and the names of those involved are not being released.” “Common sense needs to apply when you’re doing that kind of activity, you have to wear helmets,” he said. “You have to wear things like gloves and other safety equipment.” He indicated, “depending on the nature of this activity” there could be a charge of stunting under the Traffic Safety Act which carries a fine of $402.

A 22-year-old Red Deer man received a severe head injury following a spill while longboarding down the hill on Old Boomer Road Saturday afternoon. He was subsequently transported by STARS air ambulance to Calgary’s Foothills Hospital where he was in stable condition in the intensive care unit at press time. A second 22-year-old, who suffered less severe injuries, was transported by ground ambulance to Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre where he was treated and released. RCMP Cpl. James Allemekinders said, three men were heading down the hill at what witnesses described as “a high rate of speed” when two of them hit loose gravel, lost control of their boards and wiped out on the asphalt road surface. The third man was able to maintain control and assisted in providing first aid. Immediate first aid was provided to both of the injured males by witTRUTH is knowing nesses, including Deputy

Centennial event photos requested BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS A special photo book is being compiled to capture the many fabulous events and activities which took place during Sylvan Lake’s Centennial celebrations last year. Joyce Thrush, Brenda Dale and Marion Thompson are “on a quest to collect as many photographs of the Centennial events and activities” then compile them in a book for Sylvan Lake & District Archives. If you’ve got images to share, please email them to Thompson at archives@ sylvanlake.ca and include captions, dates, locations and names. The photo book will be available to view at the archives later this year, she said.

another animal or an object. “Dogs can be released not by prying the jaws open — that’s a misnomer,” said DeBoon. “With powerful dogs, there’s almost no physical way to do that. “But you can actually restrict the airway by simply pushing up on the trachea where it’s soft at the base of the mouth. That’s how the dog gets its air, and it has to at some point release what it’s got a hold of.” The Apr. 6 attack was still being investigated at press time, and it was unclear if any charges would be laid in relation to the incident.

are certain actions dog owners can take to prevent such an attack from happening. “In this case, the person walking the two dogs was actually physically incapable of restraining them,” he said. “The bottom line is you should walk dogs that you can walk, but you shouldn’t walk dogs that are stronger than you.” Humans who attempt to intervene in such attacks are often injured by bites, he added. While this case was no exception, there are things bystanders can do to release a dog’s grip on a person,

is donating our organs and tissues,” said Health Minister Fred Horne in announcing the new program. “With more than 500 Albertans waiting for an organ transplant and many more waiting for tissues, registering your consent to donate on the new donor registry can make a profound difference in someone’s life.” The new online registry provides Albertans with a quick and easy way to record their consent. This spring the online donor registry will be available to registry agents, giving Albertans the opportunity to register their intent when they renew or apply for their driver’s licence or other identification. We strongly recommend you consider this opportunity and discuss your wishes with your family. One organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives and improve the lives of up to 75 other people, according to statistics with the government announcement.

Proposals would fundamentally eliminate one of last natural treed areas Dear Editor, I had the opportunity to participate in the public presentation at the multiplex of the development plan for the Riders Ridge/Vistas Park. This proposal outlines town’s administration vision on how to change this parcel of natural woodland and formalize it. This will require parking lots, childrens’ playgrounds and paved and gravel walking trails etc. to be install. The upshot of all this activity will result in one of the last, if not the last, natural treed parcels to be fundamentally eliminated in the municipality. I am not against development, but in this situation, present users of this area might be disappointed. The children who built forts, play hide and seek, dog walkers, elimination of the homemade bike trails that young people, by the dozens, use to practise dirt trail riding and of course the general public that wish a quiet natural area to stroll or perhaps

Compliant government allowing health care crisis Dear Editor, I am an 86 year old senior who has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis. It is an excruciatingly painful affliction. I have had no success in controlling the pain medically. My doctor has recommended that I apply for surgery and I’ve requested that he proceed with making the necessary arrangements. However, the surgeon has advised him that the current waiting time for a consultation is from eight to ten months. There has to be something terribly wrong with Alberta’s health care system when patients like me have to endure such a long painful waiting period. Government authorities are fond of telling us that cuts have to be made in health care costs, and that our health care system is unsustainable. Throughout the years I have been lobbying for a better oil revenue deal for Alberta, similar to that adopted by Norway. As things stand, money that should be available for health care is now being spent on luxury yachts, private jets, luxurious mansions, resort homes, valuable paintings, artifacts, etc., by private corporate CEO’s and directors, all because of a compliant government that is allowing this to happen.

Grade 12 students presented with Bibles at celebration BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A celebratory atmosphere pervaded as Grade 12 students, teachers and members of Sylvan Lake’s Christian community gathered for the 19th annual Bibles for Grads event at the community centre last Wednesday. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in a red, white and black theme with balloons adding to the festive air. They enjoyed a turkey dinner provided by volunteers from various area churches, watched a captivating performance by the Acronaires from Canadian University College in Lacombe, were recipients of gifts provided by local businesses, and most importantly, each received a Bible with their name inscribed on it. Mayor Sean McIntyre said he’s been part of the faith community of Sylvan Lake for a long time. “It’s amazing that year after year they talk to grads, embrace the grads.” He wished the grads success in their future and thanked everyone involved in the Bibles for Grads event. “Your town is proud of you. Congratulations, we wish you all the very best.” Emcee Julian Price told the students the Bibles are very important. “We believe what is written in these Bibles, believe that it’s very important for you to have these Bibles.” The Bible “has shaped our lives,” he said. “We believe the words written in the Bible can have the opportunity

to shape your life. At the end of the day the big message is Jesus loves and cares for every single one of you.” He encouraged those attending to “make every moment count. You never know what moments in your life might shape your life”. The Acronaires’ performance was the final program of their 40th year. While most of the athletes were college age, there were a couple of 11 year olds with the group and the oldest person was 56. Students Danielle Dyrland and Bree-Ann Ekelund were invited to join the athletes for one of their demonstrations. Several of the athletes also provided testimonies to their faith in God. At least 249 Bibles were presented to local students from École H. J. Cody High School, École Secondaire Notre Dame High School in Red Deer, Lighthouse Christian Academy, Sylvan Lake Career High School as well as home schooled students. “I so appreciate all the volunteers who come out to help from the Christian community in Sylvan Lake,” said organizer Sharon Nielsen. “I’m so grateful for each of them and for the businesses that donate prizes.” Money for the event is raised through the Good Friday inter-denominational service organized by Sylvan Lake Ministerial Association (which includes Benalto Baptist Church) as well as through individual donations. An offering during the Massed Choir concert at Christmas also supports the event.

Julian Price talked to Grade 12 students who attended the 19th annual Bibles for Grads celebration at the community centre last Wednesday. Personally inscribed Bibles were presented to 249 students this year. Price said the “Bible, to us, is very important, We believe what is written in these Bibles, believe the message is important for you to have.” That message, he said, “has shaped our lives. We believe the words written in the Bible can have the opportunity to shape your lives. At the end of the day the big message is Jesus loves and cares for every single one of you.” STEVE DILLS

Optimist Club seeking members to help with event planning BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Sylvan Lake Optimist Club is aiming to continue its work to benefit local youths, but needs the help of committed volunteers. The club, chartered in 2009, came close to folding last year with just three members at the time. Although that number has now doubled, organizers say a much larger membership would allow for more fundraising activities — and thus, more funds raised for Sylvan Lake youths. “We’re hoping to get the ball rolling, and the more we get out about what we do and who we are, the better,” said club treasurer Tasha Young. “It’s really tough to combat volunteer burnout, so that’s one of the reasons why we’ve had to limit the amount of events that we do in a year to just the one.” Currently, the club’s only annual event is the Boob Tour, billed as a “standup comedy show fighting cancer with laughter”. This year it featured renowned comedians Lamont Ferguson and Garry Shandling, as well as others from within Alberta. Through ticket sales and a silent auction, the event raised about $3,500 for the Sylvan Lake Youth Cancer Fund created by the club. “(The fund) is kind of our childhood cancer campaign,” said Young. “It can be used for anything from a Make-A-Wish-type scenario, or for a family. “The first year that we did this, we were able to donate to a family whose son was diagnosed, and they needed extra money to help with bills and gas and having to drive to Edmonton every other day.” Of the club’s six members, one signed up as recently as last week, and membership drives are planned over the next few months. The club, in its current state, lacks the resources to put on more than one major event a year. Additional members, however, would mean the possibility for more. “Even just one or two people helps,” said Young. “The nice thing about the Optimist Club is your commitment is as much as you want it to be. “If you can’t attend the meetings every week, that’s fine, but if you’re really good at marketing or advertising or planning, we could use people like that. “Having that structure there to be able to help plan that kind of stuff is what we really need.” Those interested in joining are asked to contact Young at 403-887-9477. They may also attend one of the club’s meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month, between September and June. Meetings are held at Pier 7, and begin at 7 p.m. More information about the club is available on the Sylvan Lake Optimist Club Facebook page. The club is also referred to by its legal name, Lakeview Optimist Club.

PRACTICE RESURRECTION

By Rev. Jin Woo Kim Memorial Presbyterian

In his book, “Living the Resurrection Life,” Eugene Peterson writes, “The resurrection of Jesus creates and makes available the reality in which we are formed as new creatures in Christ by the Holy Spirit. This is a foreign concept in our ego-centric, do-it-yourself, control freakish society. However, the Christian life is a Jesus-resurrection life, a life in us that is accomplished by the power of the resurrection, the Holy Spirit.” The resurrection was the ultimate reminder of God¹s power and love. The ﬁrst Christians basked in it, rejoiced because of it, lived in it — every single day. The resurrection wasn’t just about receiving eternal life; it was about fully living life in the here and now. This life after the resurrection is full of opportunities and possibilities. Friends, we need to learn to “live the resurrection.” We’ve been given a new lease on life, as well as a new life today

and a new life tomorrow and beyond. Too often we take this resurrection for granted, become complacent and “run through the motions” of faith. We must remember that we have been led from prison cells into the wide open spaces of God’s love and eternal power. Maybe resurrection, like everything else, needs to be practiced. Why practice resurrection? How about this? If you want to know how to do something, you have to practice how to do it. And anything worth doing is worth practicing to do. Practicing resurrection! It’s what we all really long to be able to do. To move beyond a crippling grief over the death of a loved one. To envision and live into new opportunities following the loss of a job. To live through a debilitating depression and ﬁnd new reasons for hope. To overcome our fears and live life with a spirit of adventure and possibility. These are all part of what it means to practice resurrection. You can practice resurrection daily in all its many forms.

Reflection - A cool foggy morning with a skiff of snow on the streets greeted a small group of about 75 people who participated in the annual Good Friday Prayer Walk with the cross through the streets of Sylvan Lake. The crowd was smaller than in past years, possibly because of the weather. “Perhaps it’s fitting that the day is a little more sombre,” said Dale Plante while addressing the crowd at the beginning of the walk. The group stopped at several stations to pray for various sectors of the community. The walk, a time of reflection, proceeds from Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church north on 50th Street to Lakeshore Drive, east to 46th Street, south to 49th Avenue, east to 43rd Street, then west on 48th Avenue before turning on 44th Street and ending at Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church where an interdenominational service was held by Sylvan Lake M i n i s t e r i a l Association.

Sunrise

- In the early morning hours of Sunday a small group gathered around the bonfire in Centennial Park for the annual Easter Sunday Sunrise Service (at 6:30 a.m.). Leading the group with songs, scripture and prayers were Cathy Janke, John Rivers, Rev. Jin Woo Kim and Julie Olive. Following the service, about 30 people who attended enjoyed hot cross buns homemade by Harla Yoos, and fish served by Diane Powell and Lynn Bergen. In recent years the service, organized by Memorial Presbyterian Church, has been held on the pier but it was too wet this year. Prior to that the service was held on the beach at Camp Kannawin.

Businesses moving, new businesses opening downtown according to stats BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Movement of two commercial businesses in the downtown core was highlighted in building statistics for March, according to information released by the town earlier this month. A permit was issued for tenant

improvements valued $20,000 in Cobbs Block Central for relocation of Bayview Café to that building. Another permit was issued for tenant improvements ($2,000 value) for an unspecified new business for a portion of the space previously occupied by Bayview in the Chateau Suites building. A third permit was issued for improvements (valued at $10,000) for

a nail and spa business in the 50th Street location previously occupied by Guys & Dolls Hair Salon which has also moved to Cobbs Block Central. The majority of the $1,625,995 in permits issued was for single family homes with six underway with construction values ranging from $217,855 to $266,875 (totalling $1,474,595). Two of the homes are being building in Ryders Ridge, two in Beacon Hill, one in Crestview and one in Fieldstone. Other residential permits were issued for seven basement developments and one deck.

A single permit was issued for creation of a second floor mezzanine in an industrial building on Erickson Drive. Year-to-date building statistics show construction valued at $12.684 million permitted in the first three months, compared to $10.172 million in the previous year. Permits have been issued for 17 new homes while in 2013 permits were issued in the first three months for 21 homes.

Music festival proposed for pier in mid-August BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Proponents of a music festival on the pier in mid-August will be back before councillors at their next meeting, Apr. 28. They outlined some of their plans and answered concerns at council’s

Apr. 14 meeting, stating they would definitely change the proposed date as it conflicted with Jazz At The Lake Festival. Councillors requested a full presentation at their next meeting. True Channel Entertainment had planned to host Summer City Music Jam on the pier in the provincial

SPORTS

park on Aug. 16. While the application had been submitted to the Friends of Sylvan Lake Provincial Park committee, Ron Lebsack, the town’s community services director, brought it forward “as an event like this will have a significant impact on the Town of Sylvan Lake”. Among the bands included in the proposal were the Juno award winning Sam Roberts Band, Walk Off The Earth, The Trews, Foster The People, and Girl Talk. “Please drink responsibly and enjoy the music,” stated the front page. The event is billed as “a one day, family friendly music festival that anticipates approximately 4,000 attendees”. It would run from noon to 11 p.m. and would require the pier area to be closed to public use the day before, day of and day following the event except for those with tickets. A beer garden would be included, according to the proposal. Earlier in the council meeting, Eric Allison, president of the Jazz At The Lake Festival Society raised concerns that the two events would conflict, particularly because one of the jazz festival’s free events, a family picnic concert would take place the same day in Lions Legacy Park, just a few blocks from the pier. “We are certainly not against bringing more musical events to town,” he said. “We say the more the merrier! But we strongly feel that any musical event on the pier (or anywhere else in town, for that matter) on the same weekend could seriously

Missing was Justis Lowry. The Beaver Valley Nitehawks captured gold while the host Abbotsford Pilots took silver. Both were from British Columbia. The Wranglers defeated the Saskatoon Quakers in their first game 8-0, lost to Abbotsford 5-1 in their second game, lost to Beaver Valley 5-1 in their third game, beat Thunder Bay (ON) Northern Hawks 8-4 in their fourth game, won their fifth game 6-3 over Selkirk (MB) 1-800-222-TIPS Fishermen and then again beat Thunder (1-800-222-8477) Bay 4-3 in the bronze medal game.

damage the jazz festival for this year and in fact, its future sustainability.” Allison pointed out the festival has been held on the third weekend in August for the past 12 years. During discussion, councillor Dale Plante said he wants “to encourage something that’s going to bring a healthy atmosphere to town. I’m very concerned that whatever comes to the community contributes to the fabric of the community.” He asked how this event would contribute. He also voiced concerns about parking and how it would be impacted in the area. “I like the idea, I’d like to have it,” said councillor Matt Prete. When the Trauma Tour was in town he took his kids there and they had a good time, he related. His only concern was a conflict with the jazz festival. “I believe they’re two different crowds,” but he added, “I’d prefer two different weekends.” Councillor Jas Payne noted that with Shake The Lake not happening this year, the community is definitely going to feel that loss. “This is not the type of event I want to say no to.” He added that while the spectators may be different for the two events, “I think being on the same day would be a disadvantage to Jazz At The Lake. I’d really like to go to Jazz At The Lake but I’d really like to see Sam Roberts. I would not support trying to have them at the same time.” Councillors deferred any decision on the proposal until their next meeting.

Tennis has captivated young teen who’s winning provincially and nationally BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

After tiring of watching her sister, Madison, play tennis, Kirsten Prelle took up the sport herself at the age of 5. “My sister signed up for tennis camp in the summer and got hooked on it, started taking lessons,” said Kirsten. “I got tired of watching her play, started taking lessons and haven’t stopped since.” That was in 2005 and in the past eight years, she’s propelled herself to the top ranks in Canada, most recently winning the Girls Flight 4 championship at the Under 14 Rogers Junior Nationals in Vancouver. “In the nationals you compete against the top girls from across Canada,” said Kirsten. “It’s good experience, you see how you measure up to the other players.” This wasn’t the first award for the 13-year- Tennis player Kirsten Prelle returned from Vancouver recently as the Girls Flight 4 SUBMITTED old who plays and Champion in the Under 14 Rogers Junior National Championships. practises year-round.

Her hitting partner is Tyler Begg, another Sylvan resident. Tennis consists of two seasons, Kirsten said. The indoor season, which runs from October to the end of February, just finished with the nationals in late March. Then the outdoor season runs from April to July with nationals in August. There’s a good group of competitors in the province. In her first tournament next weekend, the draw includes 29 girls from across Alberta. Currently Kirsten is a student at Sylvan Lake Career High Outreach school. “They’re really good, making it flexible for me to attend practices and tournaments and still get all my work done,” she said. She also credits her sister, Madison, as being “a really big inspiration. Without her I would never really have started. She’s always been

the benchmark of where I wanted to go in my tennis career.” The pair practice together and play in doubles competitions. This year, however, Madison is suffering a rotator injury which has hampered her play. Last year they played in three 5.0 doubles tournaments winning all of them. 5.0 is the highest level of play before a tennis player enters the open category. “We love doubles so we play in the adult tournaments,” said Kirsten. Once you’re into the U14 category you’re eligible to play in adult tournaments, she explained. There’s a broader pool of competitors to play against there. The nice thing about the Red Deer Tennis Club is it has a lot of adult players so they play doubles once a week. She started playing at the Newmarket Tennis Club in Ontario. Since her family has moved a lot for work, she’s played at different clubs across Canada ever since, including the Saville Centre in Edmonton, the World Health Centre in Calgary and Rexall Centre in Toronto, the home of Tennis Canada. While living in Cochrane, prior to their move to Sylvan Lake, Kirsten took time off her training to coach youngsters in the sport of tennis.

I READ THE

reasons why you should advertise in your local newspaper

1.CREDIBILITY

Polls show people believe newspapers offers the most believable advertising. The offer is there to be read over and over again. It doesn’t intrude uninvited and then vanish.

2.ASSURANCE

Our newspaper circulations are verified and audited. Tearsheets verify that an ad ran as scheduled. Advertisers have tangible proof that their ad reaches their audience. Radio and TV can’t offer this tangible proof.

3. PERMANENCE Newspapers allow readers time.

Readers have the time to digest and consider an advertising offer at their leisure. Consumers need not be in the right place at the right time to see or hear the advertiser’s message. Studies prove that our papers are kept longer than a week and are read by more than one person in a household.

4. LOCAL COVERAGE Newspapers occupy a unique

position in reader’s lives. Newspapers contain news on local people and events, while providing the most reliable source of in depth local coverage of everything in your community, including what businesses are offering this week.

“I read the news because my passion is volunteering. The community always has great volunteer opportunities.”

5. ECONOMY

Cost per thousand is very competitive, but the results of good newspaper advertising are the best measure of its benefit.

6. LOCAL INVESTMENT No other medium can compare to a newspapers continued service to the local community. An advertising order is an investment by the advertiser not only in their business but in the community.
