Cause of the fire was still under investigation at press time Tuesday afternoon. “Volunteers with the Canadian Red Cross Personal Disaster Assistance Team provided accommodation to residents impacted by the fire,” according to a press release from the organization. The team is a group of dedicated volunteers, some from Sylvan Lake, who assist families and individuals with local disasters. The Canadian Red Cross provides food, shelter, clothing and additional services for 72 hours as needed to people affected by personal disaster. The release stated, the average cost of a response in which a family of four is assisted is $2,000. All Canadian Red Cross support is pro-
vided at no charge to those in need. To donate to this locally funded program call 1-800-418-1111 or go online to www.redcross.ca. Several Sylvan firefighters were busy earlier Monday morning, responding to a mutual assistance call at Bentley Hutterite Colony with their water tanker. Members were involved in assisting firefighters from Bentley and other areas for about three hours. About 4,500 pigs died when fire swept through a hog barn. A second barn was saved from fire. About four dozen firefighters were on the scene at the peak of the action. Lacombe, Blackfalds and Eckville fire departments also assisted in fighting the fire.

Guiding
- Linda Ramsay (centre) of Benalto Royal Purple presented a cheque from the organization to each brand of Guiding in the Kussamo District. Kathy Watson and Judy Scanland accepted the money. “We were very pleased to receive the donation that has been earmarked for the girls’ programs,” they said. Guides in Sylvan Lake are purchasing tents and Brownies are using the money for program work. SUBMITTED
Dear Editor, Every day I ride my bike around town to see if there is anyone outside who would like to hang out with me. I look near playgrounds in the afternoon — nobody is ever out there. I always go to my friends’ houses but they are never outside. I always knock on their doors but they are too busy playing video games. And I’m sure that I’m not the only kid in Sylvan with the same problem. During the school year, me and all my friends used to ride our bikes up and down the road. But ever since summer holidays have started, I can never find them. Whenever I go out, there are no
children in their yards. Just recently I knocked on my friend’s door. He and his brother were playing video games. I was always told that when good weather comes along, take advantage of it. But whenever I do, nobody is outside. Sincerely, Emily L. Editor’s Note: We have a policy that we don’t print letters where writers don’t want their complete names published, however in this case, due to the obvious youth of our writer, we’ve made an exception.

The huge holiday crowd here for the Dominion Day holiday week-end was favoured with grand weather. A shower during Sunday night and a heavy rain (one-half inch) on Monday night followed two beautiful warm days of bright sunshine.
All the sports that are enjoyed here: golfing, tennis, boating, swimming and fishing were well patronized. Dancing at Varsity Hall and the Alexander pavilion was enjoyed, and restaurants had an unusually busy weekend. Prior to the holiday the beach was put into nice condition by the village public works department. There is a steady influx of visitors and it looks as if the Lake is in for a good season. ♦ ♦ ♦ The following pupils recently passed their Toronto Conservatory of Music exams held in Red Deer: Grade X, Betty Pugh; Grade VIII, Barbara Palmer; Grade VI, Shirley Palmer; Grade V, Brenda Hedemark; Grade IV, Helen Pugh. ♦ ♦ ♦

Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association’s annual Award of Excellence competition. The category was open to all 120+ association members. The award was presented for the “Our Caring Community� column which appeared regularly during Sylvan Lake’s Centennial year, 2013. The inspiration of Editor Steve Dills, who carried the project through the year, the column was created to “quantify the generosity of our community with information and a run-
ning tally of donations to various groups and organizations�. The yearend total was close to $500,000 although, we know there were probably donations that were missed. The award was presented at the association’s annual meeting in Calgary last month. First place in the category was presented to Claresholm Local Press for its Christmas Hamper Program and third place went to the Brooks & County Chronicle for is Seniors Awards of Distinction.

Sylvan Lake martial artists brought home medals SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
A number of martial artists from Arashi-Do Sylvan Lake travelled to Edmonton for the Mind Body Soul Tournament June 22. This is one of the biggest tournaments of the year in Alberta, for BJJ and Muay Thai. Over 400 competitors took part, from young kids, to the executives (ages 40+). The oldest was aged 56. Of course, having competitors from the school in Sylvan Lake is a great experience and challenge.
Kyle Hebb, 24, competed in the Adult Muay Thai Beginner Division. Fighting two close fights, he ended up taking third place in that division. First-time competitor Tokunbo Adeleke competed for the first time in BJJ. After training for about two years, he finally decided to test himself and compete. Fighting in the Executive Division (aged 35+, all experience levels), he started off winning his first match by points. He then fought a blue belt, Tokunbo being a white belt, and lost by a submission to the eventual second-place

He was extremely proud of himself by completing this and his coach, Sensei Ken Sumner, said, “I was super happy with TK (Tokunbo). He showed great and really put himself out there. He tested himself and it was something that many adults don’t do, but really should.” Young, perennial competitor Nolan Smith, formerly of Drayton Valley, has moved his training to Sylvan Lake, where he is thriving.

Five Sylvan teams competed in provincial beach volleyball tourney BY KIM MATTHEWS SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Five teams from Sylvan Lake competed in Alberta
Watching an incoming ball ready for a hit was Kadey Rosie while teammate Laila Watson was prepared for help in returning the serve. DARCY ROSIE
Beach Volleyball’s 3rd youth tournament at the pier on the weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect for beach volleyball. With great sponsors, music playing and amazing parents and crowds there to cheer on the athletes, players couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere than right here in Sylvan Lake. Venues in Calgary and Edmonton, which have more courts, just can’t compare to right here at home, at the beach. For the U18 teams we had Olivia Barnes with Makenna Barthel (of Red Deer) and Harper Elwood with Whitney Lehman (no results forwarded). There were a total of 16 teams in this age group to provide some really good competition. The skill set is really incredible to watch at this age level,
very entertaining beach volleyball. In the U16 age group, Morgan Lockyer and Erin Matthews played and had some really great games with really close scores but just couldn’t pull off the wins. There were 32 teams in this age group and their tournament was held over both Saturday and Sunday playing at total of six games. Saturday afternoon was really hot as we watched teams putting on socks, so as not to burn their feet in the sand. The U14 girls enjoyed the weather and the competition. There were 20 teams entered in the category and the girls gained valuable experience as they competed against quality competition. Hannah Lynn and Daria Kostiuk were teammates, while Kadey Rosie and Laila Watson teamed up. For both
of the Sylvan Lake U14 teams, it was their first beach volleyball competitive experience. The two young teams didn’t fare well in the win column but took a lot away from this weekend, learning the rules, watching other players tendencies and understanding more about their own skills which will help them in future tournaments Good luck to any of the teams registered July 19 and 20th for the fourth youth tournament, again here in Sylvan Lake. The next tournament after that will be provincials in Calgary the August long weekend.
Champion - Coach Tyler Begg con-
gratulated Kirsten Prelle on her fourth provincial championship. She competed in the Alberta Provincial Outdoor Tennis championship June 28 and 29. Once again, she defeated number-one seed Maya Dukaric in a twohour, three-set final 5-7, 6-1, and 6-3. She heads to Quebec in August to represent Alberta at the Rogers Canadian Junior Nationals.

Entry numbers were also strong, and on par with previous years.

NIEMELA On July 2, 2014 Ray (Aarne Raymond) Niemela passed away at the age of 94 years old. Ray is survived by his daughter, Dorinda (Ernie) Beskowiney and son, Terry (Marilyn) Niemela. He also leaves behind his grandchildren: Bonnie (Nick) Parker, Trevor (Margot) Hietala, KarriLynn (Lance) Knudsen, Tracy (Duane) Guthrie, LeeAnn (Darren) Low, Kimberley (Martijn) Appel, AuKeeRa (Aaron) Low and stepgrandchildren: Shawn (Kristie) Beskowiney, and Melonie Beskowiney. He also leaves several great-grandchildren and many close family and friends. One of Ray’s greatest joys in life was spending time with his family and friends. He looked forward to the conversations and many visits while sharing his “happy juice”. His inspiring and generous soul had a way of lifting the spirits of anyone he met. Ray always had a zest or life and a love for farming. Ray took great pride in the family farm. He enjoyed hearing about the every day operations and took joy in watching the farm continue to grow. One of Ray’s greatest accomplishments in life was to see all of his grandchildren get married and to see his greatgrandchildren take their first step. He loved sharing with them his charm, humour, laughter and stories on how to live a long, happy life. Ray enjoyed travelling to many places across the world where he gained several dear friends. In the early years, while spending time with Edith as “Snow Birds” in Arizona, Ray and Edie met life-long friends, Norman and Violet Jones. After the passing of Edith and Norman, Ray and Violet married and decided to live the rest of their lives together. Ray adopted his “American” family and cherished many special memories with them. Ray will be deeply and sadly missed by all the lives that he touched. His legacy will remain in our hearts forever. Funeral services will be held at the Eckville Community Center on July 16th, 2014 at 11am. A private family internment will follow at Alto Rest Memorial Gardens Red Deer. If friends desire, memorial contributions may be made to Camp Kannawin, Box 9240, Sylvan Lake, Alberta T4S 1S8.

We’re Losing Control One of the richest corporations in the United States has made a bid to buy the electricity grid that serves 85% of Albertans
14071AA0
The pending sale of AltaLink to Berkshire Hathaway has serious consequences for the province we call home • Loss of control of our critical infrastructure • Regulation oversight stops at the border • Potential for more power exports If you think the Province and the Federal Government should conduct a policy review to determine who should own the infrastructure at the heart of Alberta’s prosperity, make your voice heard.

MARKET UPDATE Outstanding Agents Oustanding Results®
Balanced Market Sales in June in Sylvan Lake came back down to normal while the number of active listings increased, bringing the market back into balance from one where sellers briefly had the advantage. The sales to listing ratio at 23.4% is probably closer to 30% when considering just the Town of Sylvan Lake. Our calculations include the summer villages around the lake where sales are slower for the higher priced homes there. The price range that has been the most active ($250,000 – $350,000) actually slowed a little in June while the number of listings increased, providing an
opportunity for buyers in that price range. The $350,000 – $450,000 price range is the one where sellers may still have a bit of an advantage. The strong market we have experienced this year is the result of a strong economy that creates lots of jobs and encourages migration from the rest of Canada and the world. Population growth creates demand for new construction which is in itself an economic driver. In 2013 Alberta’s population grew by 3.25%, the fastest in Canada by double.
