On May 1, 2015, an interesting thing happened. The United States and Canada came to agreement about transporting oil and other flammable liquids. No, they did not agree to build more pipelines — rather, they agreed to implement just under 400 pages worth of new standards that are intended to reduce the risk of transporting oil by rail, a mode of hydrocarbon transport that has seen rapid growth in the last few years. The new standards include new tank-car design standards; retrofit standards and timelines; new operational protocols that touch on routing, speed restrictions and government notifications; new testing and labelling requirements; and, perhaps most controversially, a requirement for installing electronically-controlled pneumatic braking systems As always, government and

industry are at odds over the cost and timeline for the adoption of the new rules, though industry seems to be accepting the costs, and is mostly wary of the new rules “aggressive” schedule for replacement/retrofitting of the rail car fleet. And undoubtedly (as one of us wrote last year), the new cars will be costly, and the timeline hard to achieve. But the interesting question is, will the new rules make us safer? Research on rail accidents has found human error to be a leading cause. In a study of 237 rail accidents in the United Kingdom from 1945 to 2012, researchers found that: “[rail] accidents ... primarily occur during the peak hours and at the end of a week, i.e. Friday. Train drivers are responsible for the majority of the accidents. This result is in agreement with previous studies ... [a]pproximately 73 per cent of the accidents were attributed solely to train drivers, while the majority of the accidents were related to signal passed at

danger (more than 70 per cent).” The U.K. study conveys the fact that, whether we like it or not, human error is what most often leads to accidents, something evermore regulation will be hard pressed to completely eliminate. Indeed, in one of the recent oilby-rail accidents in Northern Ontario, the railway cars involved in the accident had upgraded safety features, which weren’t present on the cars in the tragic LacMégantic disaster. In this situation, “safer” cars yielded similar results. The problem may not be in the nature of the crude, or the nature of the cars, but rather in the ongoing war over pipelines. Crude oil exports by rail from Canada to the U.S. have increased from 42,000 barrels a year in 2010 to almost 42 million barrels per year in 2014, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of this increase can be attributed to the absence of new pipeline infra-

structure. Yet pipelines continue to be the safest method for transporting oil. A review of oil transportation methods in the U.S. found that oil transport by pipeline was associated with fewer incidents, fatalities and injuries per ton-mile transported, when compared with rail and truck. Rail and roadway transport of oil have always (and will always) have some applicability for the transport of oil, but the choice of transport mode has consequences. While the new regulations may make some aspects of transporting oil by rail safer, it would be unfortunate indeed if the proposed new rules divert us from the more important question: what’s the best way to move oil safely and efficiently to market?

Arrests made following sighting of allegedly stolen truck STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Two men have been arrested after police were alerted to the sighting of an allegedly stolen truck in the Benalto area May 13. Sylvan Lake RCMP on May 12 were called to a break and enter complaint at the Sylvan Lake Industrial Park, where a Ford F-350 truck had reportedly been stolen. At around 2 p.m. the next day, police responded to a report that the truck had been seen being taken apart at a rural Benalto-area property. A member of the public reported the sighting after learning of the truck’s theft through social media. Upon police’s arrival, the suspect fled the scene with the stolen truck. Out of concern for public safety, police at that time decided against pursuing the suspect further. Further investigation eventually led police back to the property, where they arrested two males without incident. Travis Patrick Meyers, 29, of Red Deer County, has been charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, flight from police and failing to comply with previous release conditions. He’s currently on bail with conditions set and a court appearance in Red

Deer scheduled for June 3. Gary Raymond Auvigne, 39, of Penhold, has been charged with three counts of possession of another person’s identity documents, two counts of possession of stolen property valued under $5,000, two counts of possession of stolen property valued over $5,000, three counts of failing to comply with probation, four counts of failing to comply with a recognizance and 16 counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

He was scheduled to make a court appearance in Red Deer on Tuesday. Police are continuing to investigate the May 12 break and enter, and are asking anyone with information on the crime to contact the Sylvan Lake RCMP detachment at 403-858-7200. Those who wish to remain anonymous may do so by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or online through www.tipsubmit.com. Information leading to an arrest may result in a cash reward.

THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2015

Let’s build a community We live in a friendless world. Many people today are without friends, without God. As a result, in deep inside they are hungry for relationships, friendships. They are hungry for relationship with God and with other people. Perhaps this is why psychotherapists or counselors have achieved an almost godlike status in our society. The universal experience of the human race is that we were made for relationships. It is because God has made us that way. He has made us in His image. We were made for relationships. We are persons in relationships. So ﬁrst of all, we are supposed to have a relationship with God. Christian reality has been shaped by the encounters with personal God. Without having a relationship with personal God, people live in the impersonal world. We are just strangers. We don’t recognize each other. We don’t particularize each other. The poet T. S. Eliot reminds us, ‘as we watch the faces in the street or in the subway train. The desert is not to be found

in southern climates, but in the tube train, in the neighbor next to you’. What is the Church? Church is a body of Christ. We are one body. We are all particular, unique persons. We are particular parts of the body. But we are one in God, in love, in unity. We should be like God in community. Community is a great ideal. Everybody wants it; but few achieve it. We should try to build an authentic community. Not just a kind of exclusive sect or club, but a caring, loving community. And I pray that we may grow in our friendship with God and with each other in and through our community. No Christian is born as a spiritual adult. We need to grow and mature spiritually. But we are not left by ourselves in this journey toward spiritual growth. In fact, a person cannot command spiritual growth for oneself. We are supposed to grow together as one body. This is what churches are for. Rev. Jin Woo Kim

Sylvan Lake playschool to celebrate 10-year anniversary JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Helping Hands Playschool will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary May 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church. Everyone is welcome to attend the celebration. Children will be able to play in a bouncy castle, have their faces painted and eat cake with their parents. Playschool teacher Shawn Palm said there are about 57 children, ages three to five, who attend each week. Palm said she and the other playschool teacher, Crystal Graham, aim to create a creative atmosphere where the children can learn and have fun. “It's a fun and creative place to come and learn,” Palm said. “We like to have fun and we like to be creative. It's a playschool environment where the children can play, have story time, songs, puppets and a whole bunch of other things.” Palm said the children learn the “bucket filling” philosophy, which helps them learn social skills such as how to get along with each other and share. She also said the program is faith-based, but open to anyone. “We have Bible stories and themes,” Palm said. “Families can still come even if they don't go to church. This is open to everybody, and everyone is welcome.”

Chinook Triathlon Festival coming to Sylvan Lake this summer JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Chinook Triathlon Festival will be coming to Sylvan Lake Aug. 1, replacing the Sylvan Lake Loop Triathlon that was scheduled for July 19 this year. The main cause for replacing the Sylvan Lake Loop Triathlon was lack of participant registra-

tions, stated Three Lakes Triathlon Series race director Steve Brown. “Our registrations were not where we needed them to be to produce a viable race,” he said. “Unfortunately we were facing an uphill battle as we tried to overcome past history with the Sylvan Lake event.” According to Brown it was a struggle to decide on what to

“The race was held in southeast Calgary for a number of years, and finding a location with an accessible lake and good, safe roads was proving problematic.” Brown said he was satisfied with the decision. “The meeting we had with Sylvan Lake to make the announcement to them was overwhelmingly positive,” he

do, as there is an obligation to the athletes and the community of Sylvan Lake. Race director for the Chinook Triathlon Festival Jordan Bryden is thrilled with the race being moved to Sylvan Lake. He said the race has been one of the defining races in Alberta, but had to be relocated. Finding a new suitable location was difficult, he said.

said. “We had the Alberta Triathlon Association at the table as well and they too were pleased by the outcome. We believe everyone wins with this decision — athletes, organizers and the community of Sylvan Lake.” Bryden further commented that he is proud to have helped create a triathlon that will offer an “organic feeling” that works

well with the festival atmosphere that Sylvan Lake is known for. “We have established a unique environment that is easily accessible by athletes living in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer,” Bryden said. “Our event has restructured to create a course that works with the Sylvan Lake community to benefit the town and avoid many traffic flow and water use issues.”

Sylvan Lake businesses nab construction industry awards STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Stephanie Fehr (left) and Gina Pardy (right) of Falcon Homes accept an award for Excellence in Interior Design SUBMITTED from Lisa Healey of Trail Appliances, the award’s sponsor.

Yes, we are OPEN up at Top O’ The Hill! GOLF COURSE

The course is in great shape and ready for you to enjoy. We look forward to hosting your staff outing or family get-together. Top O’ the Hill is your “Small Group Golf Get-Together Specialists” Ca C Cal allll u oda day at at 4 03 887 03 87 27 76 66 Call uss tto today 403-887-2766 Directions: 3km north of the roundabout on Hwy 11A on the east side of Hwy 20. www.topothehillgolf.ca Formerly Sylvan Truck Ranch

Sylvan Lake’s Falcon Homes is the recipient of four Excellence in Housing Awards, presented in Red Deer to businesses in the residential construction industry May 9. During the gala, hosted by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s Central Alberta chapter, the home building company was named the winner in the categories of Best New Home Between $225,000 and $259,999, Best New Home Between $375,000 and $449,999, Safety Leadership, and Excellence in Interior Design. Interior designers Gina Pardy, Kevin Pardy and Stephanie Fehr received special recognition in the lattermost category. General manager John Christie said the recognition was a testament to the hard work of both the company’s employees and others who work alongside them. “It just shows that with the help of our trades and suppliers as well as our staff, we’re working really hard to provide beautiful homes to our customers,” he said. “It’s nice to be recognized within the industry. It makes it all worthwhile.” Clearview Glass Service of Sylvan Lake also received recognition on the night, and was awarded Trade of the Year (Small Category). Owner Len Campbell, whose business was also recently nominated for a provincewide small business award, admitted to being surprised by the most recent nod. But that didn’t make it any less satisfying, he assured. “This one surprised me,” he said. “I didn’t realize we had been nominated, and we were up against pretty tough competition. “(Winning the award) is a tribute to my staff and how hard they work.” The awards were presented in front of a crowd of more than 500 people who gathered at Red Deer’s Sheraton Hotel and Exhibition Centre for the occasion. Recipients were acknowledged for their excellence, innovation and creativity in the industry. Outside of the two Sylvan Lake businesses, award winners hailed primarily from within Red Deer.

Familiar tunes - The band

from École Secondaire Notre Dame High School in Red Deer played some familiar tunes for the teachers, students and band students at École Mother Teresa School JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN May 1.

Spanish-speaking students learn from each other JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A group of students learning the Spanish language at HJ Cody School had the fortunate adventure of meeting several people from South America in Red Deer earlier this month. Lauren Charanduk, a Spanish and humanities teacher at HJ Cody School, took her students to the Central Alberta Refugee Effort (CARE) centre in Red Deer, where several adults from South America are learning the English language. The mini field trip lasted for about an hour, but within that time frame, many new friendships were made between both sets of students. “It was great for my students,” Charanduk said. “They gave up their lunch period to come with me, which is great of high school students. A lot of the CARE. students had stayed to be able to talk with my students. Both sides made an effort to come together.” The participating CARE students were of a wide age span, and came from a variety of backgrounds and places, including Mexico, Columbia, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Charanduk said they’re all permanent residents who have the aim of becoming Canadian citizens. During the one hour of her students conversing with the Spanish-speaking immigrants, her students experienced speaking with a variety of different accents from different countries, giving

them the experience of hearing different slangs being used. “It really opens them up to a whole new world, especially being from Sylvan Lake,” Charanduk said. “There are not many opportunities to speak with a large population of immigrants, especially coming from Third World countries.” She said it's an interesting perspective she wanted to share with her students because she thought they would benefit from meeting people with different backgrounds who are doing the same thing her students are — learning another language. “My students are learning Spanish, those students are learning English,” Charanduk said. “They are both learning. It's very hard to learn a second language and it shows the dedication that those people are willing to put into their instruction.”

Charanduk said she wanted her students to learn two things — that learning a second language is difficult and requires a lot of work and dedication, and she wanted her students to see and learn how dedicated people can be when they come to Canada and have to learn the English language. She said a lot of Canadians don't think about learning a second language because they are somewhat isolated in comparison to places such as Europe. By taking her students to meet the CARE students, she wanted them to make connections, have a variety of teachers to learn from and feel a sense of community. “When my students were there it was fantastic because all of these Spanish-speaking people became their teachers and they corrected their pronunciation,” Charanduk said. “They told them which

words to say and figured out how to help my students. It's fascinating when you can have two cultures come together and share their interests.” Charanduk said she had pre-planned some conversation starters, such as shared interests the students could find common ground on. She even prepared a sheet of sentences in case her students got stuck in a conversation. The interactions were fluid and the students even showed each other family photos on their iPhones. “It was great because as the conversations went on we switched people around and it became more natural and fluid,” Charanduk said. “A lot of them got off topic and were pointing out pictures of their family on their iPhones — it was fantastic.” Grade 12 student Madison McDonald said she enjoyed the experience as a way of learning a new language.

“It was awesome to get to speak with people who actually speak the Spanish language, and not just someone else who is learning it as well,” she said. “You get to solidify your knowledge, and even get help with pronunciation and grammar and all that kind of stuff. It was such a good experience to have.” Grade 10 student Meghan

Orich was equally impressed by the opportunity, and said it helped her overcome her fear of speaking in a foreign language. “I learned not to be afraid to speak in a different language to these people, because they are doing it too,” she said. “I’m not very fluent in Spanish, but we had some pretty decent conversations.”

Students showcase educational talents at learning exhibition JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

École Our Lady of the Rosary School buzzed with excitement as parents and special community members celebrated the school’s

Exhibition of Learning with teachers and students earlier this month. Each classroom for the event was theme-based and each student constructed a project accordingly. The various projects on

display centred on a spray park, a sports complex, planets in outer space and boat building. Visitors had the chance to tour, photograph and discuss the projects. This is the second year of the Exhibition of Learning was held at the school. Through it, according to principal Jodi Smith, students learn that learning is fun, engaging and challenging.

“Learning is a process that keeps students editing their project, critically thinking about what their next steps will be and analyzing and managing the information they are given,” Smith said. She said the teachers used cross-curricular competencies to guide students in thinking critically, innovatively and collaboratively while they made their projects.

Smith said the exhibition is held not only to showcase and celebrate what the students have learned by doing their projects, it also gave the students the opportunity to speak with the different visitors and discuss why they made their projects the way they did. “It’s to build confidence so students can discuss and answer questions people had,” Smith said. “It expands their thinking process.”

Would like to thank the following corporate sponsors of the 2014/2015 school year:

Smith said she received good feedback from the parents on the event. She said the parents enjoyed watching their child shine while they presented their projects. ”The parents love getting the chance to have their child be the expert and show such pride in their learning,” Smith said. “Parents were amazed by the students’ ability to answer questions that required critical thinking.”

Grade 2 French immersion students Mercedes Reinhar t, Theodore Persson and Liam Ewanchuk display the boat project they created for the Exhibition of Learning at Our Lady of the Rosary School.

Sylvan Lake minor football players to represent Alberta in Border Bowl JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake residents will have the unique opportunity of watching three local football players in action live online at www.vbnsports.com May 23. Ethan Galliford, 11, Brett Zenert, 15, and Jacob Weller, 14, will travel to Kamloops, B.C., to represent Alberta in the ABC Border Bowl, an annual event in which top minor football players from British Columbia and Alberta play against each other. Recruiters from university teams all

Brett Zenert

across Canada have been known to attend in previous years. The games will start with the Young Stars playing at noon, followed by the Future Stars at 2:15 p.m. All three Sylvan Lake players are excited about going to play for the elite teams and have high expectations for what they want to accomplish and learn. Galliford said the event marks one step closer to his dream of playing professionally. He said he is looking forward to being a part of the Young Stars team and plans to

give his team everything he has. “I'm going to play hard and try and be a good leader,” Galliford said. “I want to learn more skills so I can improve in football and get somewhere.” Zenert said it feels awesome to have the opportunity to take part in the event. He expects playing for the elite team will be “a lot of fun.” Zenert describes himself as athletic and said he hopes to develop his game skills by playing with the team. He also hopes to be noticed by the scouts who will be looking to recruit players.

“I want to get more out of football,” Zenert said. “I want to go further in football, be noticed and not just in Alberta.” Weller is excited to be playing with a different team and in a bigger game. He said playing with a new team will help him learn many new skills and different playing techniques. “It's such a good team and there's so many different skills that each player has,” Weller said. “Being one of the youngest kids on the team, I look up to the older kids and try and take what they do and put it into my own move.”

Sylvan Lake man recognized as being among top public works leaders in North America JASMINE O'HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darwin Durnie has been recognized as one of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top 10 Public Works Leaders in 2015 for his dedication to providing public works services.

! " # $ %& '

( ' '

Durnie, along with other nine public works leaders, will be honoured during the American Public Works Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (APWA) International Public Works Congress and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona, Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. Durnie will also receive the award locally at a later date this year. Durnie has spent over 30 years working in emergency management positions, and currently works as director of business development at Stantec Consulting in Red Deer. He has aided in a number of response and recovery efforts, at events including the 2005 Drumheller flooding, the 2011 fires in Slave Lake and the 2013 flooding in Southern Alberta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I helped them recover and make it through and be stronger in the end,â&#x20AC;? Durnie said. Durnie said this is the most significant recognition he has ever received and said he is really proud to be recognized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's only been about three Albertans ever recognized, and the last ones were in the late 70s or early 80s,â&#x20AC;? Durnie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's nice to be able to put Alberta on the map for it.â&#x20AC;? Durnie said he is humbled for being recognized for the award, but feels hugely honoured. He also acknowledged the many public works leaders who work hard but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily receive recognition for their work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These leaders don't get the luck of being nominated for the top 10 like I have,â&#x20AC;? Durnie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the ones that keep it happening every day whether it's in Sylvan Lake, Drumheller or Rocky Mountain House.â&#x20AC;? Durnie said he has also done a lot of things to improve education, infrastructure, training and certification. Since it's the public's money that is being spent and invested, being in a position of public works means he has to be at the top of his game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be at the top of your game and make sure you do your job well,â&#x20AC;? Durnie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's responsibility and integrity. It's making certain that we use the public's money for their benefit, whether that's for water, waste removal, safe roads or safe buildings. It's all about investing money wisely and making sure it's what the public wants.â&#x20AC;?

Busy spring for Shadow Riders 4-H Club

Red Deer West 4-H Beef Club gearing up for sale KYLE BELICH AND PARKER DEPALME RED DEER WEST 4-H BEEF CLUB

COREY STAN AND DREW STAN SHADOW RIDERS 4-H CLUB

Shadow Riders 4-H Club had a very busy end to winter and jumped right into spring! The month of March was a busy one, with riding every Sunday, volunteering at Bethany Care Centre and doing a food drive at Sobeys March 21. In April we started riding Sundays and Thursday evenings. The Level 4-7s had a western clinic and lunch April 3 and the Level 1-3s also had a western clinic and potluck on April 11. All levels had great days. The kids and parents also did a bottle drive in Eckville April 7 for a fundraiser. It was a huge success! In May we started off the month with the honour of all the kids that volunteered at Bethany being nominated and attending the Leaders of Tomorrow celebration in Sylvan Lake. The club had a wiener roast on our first Sunday ride of the month. Some of the kids attended the Leslieville Trailtrotter Show at Rocky Rodeo Grounds May 9 and all did great and had fun. The weather was beautiful. Our coming events are a whole club clinic May 15 and 16 in Benalto. The kids will be getting ready for our Shadow Riders Show on May 24 in Benalto and West Central Regional Show on May 29 to 31 in Red Deer. After all this hard work and fun, the club is having its Achievement Day June 18 in Benalto with pizza, potluck and awards.

Members of the Shadow Riders 4-H Club have enjoyed SUBMITTED a busy year so far.

We had a blast at the Beginner Steer Clinic on April 17 held at the Benalto Ag Centre, where a couple of senior members and Travis Depalme showed us the basics of showing our animals. On April 18, we held our annual Mock Show and Judging Day at the Benalto Ag Centre, where we got to work with our calves, show them as if we were in an actual show and learn how to judge and how to clip our calves. Mock Show is great for junior members who have never shown before, but also for all the other members. It’s a great chance to get our calves out and about before the big day. At Mock Show we also got to do consumer judging, where we judged hay and toilet paper, then we had to judge cattle. We all learned a lot and had a great time! This year’s annual Highway Cleanup was held on May 2. Our club cleaned Highway 11A from the traffic circle in Sylvan Lake to RR 280. We met at 8 a.m. and were finished cleaning by about 1:30 p.m. We would like to thank the Sylvan Lake Tim Hortons for supplying us with hot chocolate, coffee and Timbits once again. After we were done we had snacks and called it a day!

Members of the Red Deer West 4-H Beef Club take part in the annual Highway SUBMITTED Cleanup May 2. Our 4-H year is almost done and we will be getting busy with cleaning and grooming our animals for the Show and Sale. Thank

you to all of our buyers and sponsors from last year. We would greatly appreciate it if you come to our show and sale once again. It will be

held on May 31 and June 1 at the Parkland Ag Centre on the Westerner Grounds. We hope to see you there!
