Ammeter enjoys sharing Sylvan Lake memories with Bethany residents BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Certain Friday afternoons have become a highlight for a group of Bethany Sylvan Lake residents recently. One Friday a month, they spend an hour in the afternoon sharing fond Sylvan Lake memories with Pat Ammeter — one of the town’s
long-time residents. Ammeter has been involved with Bethany as a pianist in the care centre’s Hymn Sing group, and several months ago talked with staff about returning for regular visits to talk about Sylvan Lake’s past. As someone who was born and raised in town, and spent more than half a century in it, she was the obvi-

ous choice to lead such talks, according to Bethany recreation assistant Stephanie Schwartz. “(Ammeter) had mentioned that she was born here, and that she had all these fantastic stories accumulating in a book, and we thought, wouldn’t it be fantastic if you could talk to the residents about it,” said Schwartz. Since those discussions, Ammeter has met with residents monthly to chat about anything and everything Sylvan Lake. Some of the stories she
relays come from the memoirs she’s writing for her grandchildren; others simply arise out of the backand-forth dialogue she shares with the residents — many of whom, like Ammeter, are longtime Sylvan Lakers. “They connect well with her stories,” said Schwartz. “They actually remember a lot of the people she talks about, and they remember a lot of the places that she talks about.” At the beginning of the program, Ammeter was asked to come in and talk with residents for 15 to 30 minutes. She initially feared not being able to fill that time. Last Friday’s session, which, like others before it, ran closer to an hour, showed how well received the program has become. “You would think I could run out of stories every week, and it could get kind of boring, but there’s new Pat Ammeter enjoys meeting with Bethany residents once a month to talk about people all the time,” Sylvan Lake’s past. STUART FULLARTON said Ammeter. “I like to engage the people, and when I got started, I said, tell me a bit about yourself, where you came from and why did you move here. “I don’t want them to be just a face, I want to know a bit about them.” Often, introductions between Ammeter and new attendees lead to discussions about common acquaintances.

Cameron proposes partnership with town to create military facility BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
A local military buff has asked the town to partner with his organization to create a unique “Military Interest and Learning Centre”. Allan Cameron, CEO and executive producer of Veterans Voices of Canada, asked the town to provide a building, “basically four walls and a roof ” for a 2,500 to 3,000 square foot militarily historical and educational facility. “Although assistance would be appreciated in many ways, Veterans Voices of Canada will provide all inner workings of the facility,” Cameron said. The Veterans Voices of Canada Military
Interest and Learning Centre would be mostly operated by volunteers, veterans and youth. An interactive facility, it would include such things as a static and changing visual display of military relics; a viewing theatre (to seat 30-35 people) that would show historic and educational veteran interviews, documentaries and movies; a ‘reflecting room’ where pieces of artwork produced by youth and artists across Canada and around the world would be viewed to understand even more the effect of conflict on our society; and an area where ‘drop-in’ veteran interviews could take place. “As a military memorabilia collector myself, I have accumulated, over many years, a collection of memorabilia that I feel must be displayed,” said Cameron. “Along with
that, I have contacted many of my collector friends and their sources who have amazing collections. They all feel this is a great idea and all are willing to add to a static and cycled display that would change … on a monthly basis.” He noted there are similar facilities in Edmonton and Calgary, but nothing in Central Alberta. Encouraging youth to volunteer and take part in activities and learn about our history would be appealing, he believes. The mission of Veterans Voices of Canada, which is based in Sylvan Lake, is to do on-camera documentation of veterans to be donated to schools, museums and libraries, as well as donated to the family as a keepsake.
Over 800 veterans’ stories have been documented so far through the non-profit organization’s efforts. Through social media and an internet website they also spread the stories. Cameron said documentation and preservation of our Canadian military history is vitally important for us as Canadians to know exactly what our military veterans did, and what they sacrificed for us to keep the freedoms we enjoy today. He feels the facility would be another great addition to the town, complementing other tourist attractions. As with other presentations from delegations, councillors deferred discussion on the proposal until a report has been prepared by staff with options and recommendations.
Water ban lifted, mandatory conservation plan remains in effect BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The town’s water reservoirs are now full, having been replenished over the past week, and outdoor watering restrictions were lifted Monday morning. Residents are still expected to follow mandatory water conservation practices which see those with an odd number house address watering on odd number days and even number addresses on even number days. “No one may water their yards or use excessive amounts of water for unnecessary activities between noon and 7 p.m. any day of the week,” said a media release from Joanne Gaudet, the town’s communication officer. At their meeting July 14, Sylvan Lake councillors were told the town’s water wells are licensed with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development for daily and annual withdrawal amounts. “The current water license amount is 1,960,500 cubic metres per year (5,371 cubic metres per day),” according to the report “The by David Brand, Director of Public Works. Prior to the water ban, the town was using more water from the supply than it was able to replenish. Water usage during that period was estimated at 6,500 to 7,000 cubic metres per day. Historically, previous peak summer usage had been recognized at 5,430 cubic metres per
day in 2008 with a population of 11,373 and 5,451 cubic metres per day in 2012 with a population of 12,671. Last year’s census pegged the population at 13,015. However a story announcing the population said there was a potential discrepancy of 600700 residents since two condominium and apartment complexes couldn’t be counted. Brand’s report provided questions and answers about the town’s water system. It indicated the town is currently “licensed for water wells that serve an equivalent population of roughly 18,000 based on average water usage. Our supply is finite. During periods of high usage or increased population within the town, the supply is strained. The town is currently undertaking a water well study looking for new water well locations.” The report also indicated the capital plan includes provisions for creation of additional reservoir capacity to “service peak usage and accommodate future growth”.
Charged
- A distracted driving charge was laid following a two-vehicle collision on Highway 11A about three kilometres east of Sylvan Lake last Friday morning. RCMP say both vehicles involved were heading westbound when the one in front slowed to turn left and was hit by the vehicle behind. Several people were taken to hospital with unspecified injuries.

Such as a ban on fertilizers and herbicides similar to Grandview, and other eastern Canadian communities? We believe more can and should be done.

Complaints town doing too much for tourists without merit; we’re tourist town Dear Editor, Our recent brush with calamity, the outdoor water ban, has left me a bit baffled and disappointed at the attitudes of some residents. I say calamity because, if you were listen to their complaints, you’d think it was the worst tragedy the town has ever faced. If you only listened to their complaints, you would know that the ban happened either because the tourists are using up all our water, or the town is ignoring the needs of residents to appease the
tourists. Last I checked, the tourists who flock to the cool waters of the lake on a hot day aren’t the ones complaining they can’t spend an hour washing their ATV in their driveway, while watering their front lawn and filling a giant pool in the backyard at the same time. Tourists aren’t the ones who are bitter that they can’t spray gallons of water all over their property when it’s forecast to rain anyway. The tourists aren’t the ones complaining their last town tax
bill had a $75 charge for water use, which is obviously greed on the part of the town and not at all resulting from the volume of liquid coming from their hose. The complaints about the town doing too much for tourists are, I feel, without merit. We’re a tourist town. The efforts the town makes for tourists ensure that they continue to pump money into our local economy. Our businesses thrive on the dollars tourists spend here.
I suppose we could dissuade the town from promoting itself and shuttering ourselves from the tourists if it’s really that big a problem for some people. If we go down that path, I propose that any resident who is currently bitter about efforts to attract tourists not be allowed to complain that the town is not doing enough to bring money in when local businesses start closing.

Quotes for 35th Street stairs above budget; project stalled BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Residents of the 35th Street, in the cottage area, won their bid to have stairs to the beach installed within a short distance from the end of their street. Councillors approved an expenditure of up to $20,000 so a set of stairs could be installed beside the retaining wall to allow people in that area to get down to the lake, during their June 9 meeting. However a project update at last Monday’s meeting, indicates costs are higher than the budget so it now awaits further discussion following a report to the next council meeting. David Brand, director of public works, told councillors the town’s consultant contacted eight construction firms and received two quotes, one for $25,000 and the other for $30,000. Costs for the consultant, estimated at $5,000 are over and above those amounts. The costs were for wooden stairs with metal railing similar to that at the top of the retaining wall. A second request for quotes, for all wooden stairs, came in at just under $20,000 and $23,000. “It will require a budget variance to proceed,” he said. Brand added he’d just received the second set of prices that morning and would prepare a report for the next council meeting, which is set for Aug. 11. The most recent saga of the 35th Street stairs began at the May 26 council meeting. A letter from Gavin Fick was read asking council to “address and error and oversight” and “return access that has been available to us for decades”. The letter, read by John Law, continued, “of the eight streets that face onto Lakeshore Drive, with the exception of 35th Street, all have access (to the lakeshore)”.
In his own plea, Law said historically they’ve always had access to the beach at the end of 35th Street. “The biggest reason we want access is we’ve always had it,” he said. In a report to council, prepared by Ken Kalirai, director of planning and development, a timeline indicated council heard from a delegation of 35th Street residents last July. At that time council passed a motion to enter into discussions with Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation to determine if lake access would be permitted. A letter received from Grant Santo, regional operations manager of the provincial department, afterwards stated “the point where the promenade passes the 35 Street intersection is very narrow in relation to the lakeshore and Sylvan Lake Provincial Park. The proposed staircase would require provincial park land that is actively being used for shoreline stabilization. Disruption of this riparian environment would risk severe erosion and destabilize the shoreline, potentially threatening the staircase and newly built promenade. “Both Alberta Parks and AESRD (Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources) Water Approvals staff have inspected the site and recommend no construction occur on park property at this location.” Kalirai’s report stated a further meeting took place Sept. 25 and parks “were firm in their position”. They suggested the town look at two sites on town land at the viewpoints to the east and west of the end of 35th Street. “The viewpoint to the west would likely have the least impact on the shoreline. “The distance from the preferred site (at the end of 35 St.) is approximately 55 feet. However, given that for pedestrians from the 35 Street junction there is already approximately a one minute walk required to

reach an existing access point onto provincial park lands. To provide an additional access in the requested location is considered excessive.” Councillors at their meeting May 26 approved the addition of access stairs from the viewpoint west of 35th Street. While councillor Chris Lust made the motion, she stated during debate she didn’t support it. “Part of the attraction of the beach area is the opportunity to
walk along the beach promenade. It’s basically a short walk to either locations to get to the lake. It’s a narrow trail, not much of a land mass there. I think they have adequate access to the lake.” After the motion was passed to construct stairs, Councillor Megan Chernoff made a motion to defer any work so the project could be included in 2015 budget discussions later this year. That motion didn’t receive any support from her fellow council-
lors. Then Councillor Jas Payne made a motion that a budget of $20,000 be established for the project. That was passed. The item was back at the June 9 council meeting, because Payne’s motion didn’t indicate where the money would come from. At that meeting, councillors approved paying for the project from the contingency capital reserve.

Row answering God’s call to seek Kelowna mayor’s position BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A former Sylvan Lake recreation department employee has his sights set on becoming Kelowna’s next mayor. Kelly Row, a self professed ‘follower of Jesus Christ’ said he is answering God’s call to seek the mayor’s chair, according to an announcement in the Kelowna News online July 14. “The reason I am running is because of my relationship with God, it’s not for me. It’s not something I necessarily aspire to,” the newspaper quoted Row. “I am hoping to run on a platform where it’s about God and God first. He needs people that understand and listen to him and are in a relationship with him in places of leadership.”
Row, 46, grew up in Red Deer and spent seven years with Sylvan’s recreation department before moving to Kamloops as a news/sports reporter. He’s been in Kelowna for the past two years and is currently a frontline worker at the downtown Gospel Mission. Explaining his decision to seek the mayor’s position rather than a seat on council, he said, “I believe we need someone of the Christian faith over top of the city as mayor. That’s my belief and where I sit with God. I believe he’s spoken to me about these things. I’ve looked into it to see if there are any candidates coming up that I can support. I felt like this was my call.” Mayor Walter Gray has announced he would not seek another term during the November election. Only one other candidate has so far declared, current Councillor Colin Basran.

Budget for new recreation complex set at $29 million BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Budget for the Sylvan Lake NexSource Centre has been set at $29 million, after councillors met during a special meeting Tuesday night. The multiplex redevelopment project has gone through revisions and additions since planning began and a budget of $18.5 million was set in 2012. That budget included the arena replacement, four-lane running track, an expanded front entry with concession, meeting room space, community organizations’ administration space, a child activity area, leasehold space, a seniors’ centre and a meeting/conference centre, according to a report provided to councillors by project manager David Yee. At the same time, the town had approved $1.5 million funding for redevelopment of a curling rink which had a total project budget of $7 million. The difference was to come from other sources. Subsequently, the curling building has been incorporated in plans for the NexSource Centre. Other changes were also made to the project earlier this year. Among those are that it will be built over 48th Street requiring removal of existing underground utilities, and it will fully incorporate the aquatic centre and the multiplex built in 2006 as “one large, centralized facility”. A design charette, held May 26-28, resulted in the current concept and an estimated budget of $29 million.
During their meeting Tuesday, councillors were presented with two scenarios, the first that the budget be set at $29 million and the second that it be set at $25 million. “In order to reach a project budget of $25 million, the architect will be required to substantially reduce the current footprint and incorporate other cost-cutting solutions,” Yee wrote. Councillors also received a draft of the project from CEI Architecture which included an anticipated cost of $35.2 million. That number included significant contingencies. Also GST was included in the price, however the town recoups 100 per cent of its GST expense. Yee described the numbers as very conservatively estimated and felt the $29 million proposal was achievable. Based on council’s approval of a $29 million budget, debt financing would be used to cover $13 million which would bring the town’s total debt limit as high as 67 per cent. Other sources of funding include franchise fees ($4 million) other sources ($2.55 million), inter-municipal contributions ($2 million), fundraising and sponsorship ($2 million), recreation capital reserve ($1.85 million), taxes ($1.5 million), MSI Capital Grant ($2 million) and Kraft Hockeyville ($100,000).
Councillor Megan Chernoff asked for assurance that the proposed budget would include everything needed to do the project right. Betty Osmond, the town’s chief administrative officer, said the $35 million cost provided was based on “pretty soft num-
bers. It’s a very conservative estimate until detailed design is complete. They’re erring on the side of caution.” Councillors unanimously approved the $29 million budget. Councillors Matt Prete and Chris Lust were absent from the meeting.

People the best part of Janke’s 30 years practicing in Sylvan Lake BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
When asked what’s kept him practicing in Sylvan Lake for so long, “people” is the one-word response from Dr. Fred Janke, who earlier this month celebrated 30 of years working in town. He and his colleagues at Sylvan Family Health Centre celebrated the milestone with cake, decorations and a colourful sidewalk display earlier this month. “Part of what I think distinguishes family medicine from much of the rest of medicine is that we develop long-term relationships with our patients,” he said. “That is what I get the most fulfillment out of.” Janke began forming those relationships in 1984, when he joined Sylvan Lake Medical Clinic. After spending four years there, he decided to form Sylvan Family Health Centre where he’s been ever since, and where he now works alongside eight other physicians. Since relocating from Calgary, where he completed his master’s and medical degrees and his residency, his love for Sylvan Lake has always remained strong. That, he assures, is because of its people. “The people of the town have always been very welcoming and very open-armed to me, and always very supportive,” he said, also acknowledging the role his colleagues have played in the clinic’s success. “I think we form an extremely good team, and a very well functioning team that is constantly looking ahead and looking at how we can improve. Being in that kind of environment is very positive, and very affirming.” With time comes plenty of change, however, and that’s something Janke has seen no shortage of while here. When he first arrived, Sylvan Lake’s population was around 3,000. Today, that number sits closer to 13,000, and with that growth has come a loss of

Boaters launching from Sunbreaker Cove next Friday, Aug. 1, will have a chance to learn more about the danger of invasive species to Sylvan Lake. Aquatic invasive species (AIS) such as Eurasian Watermilfoil, Quagga or Zebra Mussels, which, if introduced to Alberta lakes, can cause extreme damage, will be the target of an education blitz. Lacombe County and Alberta Environment and Sustainabile Resource Development (AESRD) are hosting the event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The public is invited to join us in learning how AIS threaten Alberta lakes, and what we can all do to prevent the spread of them, said Cajun Paradis, the county’s acting environmental coordinator, in a media release from the county. Quagga or Zebra Mussels can live out of water for 30 days, and reproduce one million eggs every year and are almost impossible to eradicate. If introduced they can cause millions of dollars in damage to aquatic ecosystems as well as water operated infrastructure. The two species can be spread quickly by water users with unclean equipment. It is recommended that every time you remove your boat from the water, you remember to “clean, drain and dry” your watercraft and equipment in order to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. For more information on the event or aquatic invasive species, contact Lacombe Count’s acting environmental coordinator, Cajun Paradis, at 403-782-6601.

history boards circulated throughout town during the year. The Centennial Jubilee, ten decades of history, was brought to life with theatre, music and dance, followed by a lively afternoon street party. Rededication of Centennial Park involved 150 kindergarten students enjoying the new open space. Enhanced 1913 Days celebrations included great participation over three days. The chamber of commerce Dance of the Century provided a chance to reminisce about dance hall days with a variety of entertainment, a chili cookoff and Cobb’s Clothing’s 100 years of fashion. The 1988 time capsule created 25 years ago by the Peer Support Team was opened. A community picnic was held in Centennial Park, “a wonderful Sunday of music and games for all ages, organized by the Ministerial Association. The new Municipal Government Building was opened and the historical legacy art piece featuring personal contributions by Grade 7 students was unveiled. A celebration of Alberta Culture Days, Sylvan Lake style, featured local talent in the first public art contest and
show of student art in the new council chambers. Music students from House of Music performed in Lions Park Gazebo. Other events included Jack Smalley’s hands-on workshop “restore the pergola” and a public viewing of the 1988 time capsule items. There was also a preview of the 2013 time capsule created by the 2013 Youth Advisory Council. “Many clubs held their own Centennial events. The seniors’ historical play, Lions Club, curling club, Centennial quilts by the quilting club, the chamber of commerce and a marathon birthday run, the Archives historical calendar, Community Partners’ Centennial cookbook, the library challenged us to read 100 books in our 100th year,” Dale said. To determine what projects to include for the continuing legacy, the task force used six criteria, she indicated. They had to be representative of our history or Centennial; provide a lasting legacy or value to the community (stands the test of time); build on our environment, culture, recreation or beauty; be available to all citizens; could leverage or serve as a catalyst for other projects; and include an educational component.

Taste of Markerville, a country food fair, is taking place Saturday and Sunday in Historic Markerville. This second annual event is designed to celebrate great local food, farmers and community, and to showcase the authentic culture and history of the Markerville district. The Country Market kicks off on Saturday with a feature barbecue at Markerville Creamery starting at noon, and visitors can browse over a dozen displays all over the hamlet from 1-5 p.m. Vendors have designed their booths to be interactive, so you’ll have the opportunity to try your hand working with fibre, separating milk, churning (and sampling!) butter and ice cream, and to shop for locally grown veggies, fruit and eggs, antiques and collectibles and artwork. Just like at the Farmers’ Market, it’s best to bring cash as not all vendors can process debit or credit cards. But that’s not all — in fact it’s just the beginning! Once the market closes at 5 p.m. Markerville Creamery will be transformed for ’Appy Hour, a chance to visit and sample locally sourced appetizers made on-site and Alberta beverages while your appetite builds for the Long Table Dinner starting at 7 p.m. on the banks of the Medicine River in front of Fensala Hall. Tickets are required for the dinner. The dinner is being created by six Alberta chefs, members of the Alberta Ate collaborative, led by Darren MacLean of Calgary’s downtownfood. Using the best of our farm partner’s produce at its seasonal peak, the menu is guaranteed to delight your palate while the presentation and stunning country setting leave you awestruck. There’s more — Fensala Hall will host two “Tasty” classes on Sunday. Chef and caterer Nan Dell of Red Deer will profile summer garden fresh produce in the two hour sessions focused on creating amazing salads, pickles and frozen treats to extend your enjoyment of the season’s bounty. Each class will end with a meal and a chance to sample all the dishes created by the group. For complete details, maps and registration information visit TasteofMarkerville.com.

Another restaurant patio being considered for Lakeshore Drive BY STEVE DILLS SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
• recommended council accept Cameron Close, Craig Road, Clayton Crescent, Cobb Drive and Cody Way as street names for the second phase of the Crestview subdivision. The names have to be approved by council. • made a “favourable recommendation” to council with regard to a bylaw which will amend the town’s Land Use Bylaw to allow development of a school site and active recreational space in Beacon Hill subdivision for Chinook’s Edge School Division. A new Kindergarten to Grade 8 school for 500 students was announced for the site by Alberta Education Minister Jeff Johnson in February. At that time the expectation was the building would be ready for the 2016-17 school year.
During their regular meeting Monday night, Sylvan Lake’s Municipal Planning Commission: • reviewed an application for a 100150 seat outdoor patio adjoining Bravo Gastro Lounge on Lakeshore Drive, and agreed unanimously to recommend that town councillors approve a development permit for the project. Councillors have to decide on the permit because the property falls within the Waterfront Direct Control District. It will be on the agenda of their next meeting Aug. 11. The patio would be located on the vacant site which used to be Loco’s Bar & Grill or more recently Caribbean Flava. Some oldtimers would remember the building as Sandpiper, The Centre, The Grill and probably several other names. The building was demolished last August. Earlier this year, an outdoor patio was approved for a restaurant business several lots further west. • approved an application to create the first 48 residential lots in the Hampton Pointe subdivision.

Community Partners received $50,000 provincial grant BY STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners Association recently received $50,000 from a two-year Alberta Culture Community Initiatives Program grant. The operating grant will help cover rent, wages and other aspects of day-to-day running of the non-profit
organization. Administrative and events co-ordinator Alanna Dextrase said it will prove immensely helpful in that regard, but won’t entirely eliminate the need for further funding. “We still have to fundraise, because with rent and wages, and just the day-to-day operations, it eats up,” she said.
The money comes from the Community Initiative Program’s community operating grant category. The program also awards funding through project-based and international development grants. According to the program’s website, funds are provided to “enhance and enrich community initiatives throughout Alberta. The program is intended to reinvest revenues generated from provincial lotteries in communities, to empower local citizens, and community organizations to work together and respond to local needs”. Community Partners typically raises money for operating expenses through fundraisers — one of which is its annual garage sale, planned for Saturday (June 14). Organizers are hoping for plenty of community support to ensure it’s a success.
“We’re always looking for items for that,” said Dextrase, adding donations may be dropped off at the Community Partners office on 50 Ave. in Sylvan Lake. All types of donations will be accepted, including those that may apply to the organization’s Household Exchange program, which offers furniture to individuals in need. According to Dextrase, donations from local businesses and individuals are greatly appreciated by the organization. “That definitely does help,” she said. More are always needed, she added. As are volunteers. For more information, contact Dextrase at 403-887-9989. A list of Community Partners programs and events is available on its website at www.sylvanlakecommunitypartners.ca.

Obituaries BYSTROM Catherine 1923 - 2014 Catherine passed away peacefully on June 21, 2014 at the Cochrane Bethany Care Center, at the age of 91 years. Catherine was born in Austria April 18, 1923 to Paul and Mary Hansinger. The family with the new addition of her brother Paul immigrated to Canada and homesteaded in the Leslieville/Bingley area. She loved attending school and her horse “Bill”. Life was challenging during her early years, learning to speak English, helping the family breaking land, picking roots, milking cows, caring for siblings as well as experiencing the depression years and the “war” years. Her first job was at Evarts where she assisted with the post office and telephone exchange. It was at this time that she met and married Langton Wells in 1946 and they farmed in the Benalto area. After Langton’s passing she relocated to Rocky and worked at the Rocky Hospital. She spent a year in Calgary earning her hair dressers certificate. In 1961 Catherine married Ed Bystrom and they farmed in the Centerville (Sylvan Lake area). After Ed’s passing she moved to Red Deer where she was active in the business community for several years. On retirement Catherine moved to Peachland, B.C. where she enjoyed many happy years. She travelled to Europe, Bermuda, took several cruises and many motoring holidays with family and friends. Her Benalto friends Mr. and Mrs. Carl Jenson and Mr. and Mrs. Harrision Benner who had retired to Summerland were very special to Catherine. Mom and I spent the last ten years together and she loved her time in the Canadian Rockies. I was able to be her caregiver until the last five months when she was moved to the care center. It was a difficult adjustment as Catherine succumbed to Alzheimers. Wherever Catherine lived she gardened and numerous times created beautiful and peaceful havens. Although gardening was her passion during the summer, she was always busy knitting, sewing, quilting, needlework and of course her love of reading. Catherine is survived by her daughter Judy Riedner of Banff; her daughter-in-law, Marilyn Wells (MacDonald) of Scotch Creek, B.C.; her brother Peter Hansinger of Leslieville; her brother Will (Faye) Hansinger of Westbridge, B.C.; her grandson Grayson Wells of Kelowna; her grand daughter Tina Riedner of Calgary and her grandson Marcus (Sarah) Riedner and great grandson Sam Riedner of Calgary. Catherine is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews and extended family. Catherine was predeceased by her son Bruce in 2006. It was Catherine’s request that she not have a funeral and that she be cremated. Catherine’s internment will be in Mountain View Cemetery in Banff in the shelter of the Canadian Rockies she loved so much.
