Benalto Train Station ‘finally home’ JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The Benalto Train Station, now sitting on its permanent foundation near the hamlet’s agricultural grounds, is one step closer to becoming a combined museum, social and recreational facility. Major renovations including wiring and plumbing are still needed for the over-80-year-old building before it can be used by residents, said Benalto Booster Club volunteer Dave More. The station is currently locked up due to public safety concerns, but plans are in place to renovate it. When those renovations will begin isn’t yet known, according to More, and is dependent upon donations, grants and volunteers — all of which can take years to amass. “It could take some time, but we have to be patient with it,” said More,
who reflected on the day the station returned to Benalto in April 2013 — a day he remembers vividly and with much fondness.
“It’s finally home to where it’s going to stay forever and ever.” Dave More “When the station came back, it was like a home-
coming parade,” he said. “There were about 300 people on the street when it came up the road, and there were lots of tears and cheers. “It’s finally home to where it’s going to stay forever and ever.” The station was originally situated in the hamlet, located about 10 minutes west of Sylvan Lake, before making moves in and around the Red Deer area and at one point being converted into a house. It was donated back to Benalto by the Cupples
family in 2013. Once renovations are complete, the station will be act as a multi-purpose facility for the entire community, More assured. “Our aim is to make it into a centre for the kids so that they can have a nice, cozy place to put their skates on, have hot chocolate in the winter ... and all the other good things.” Donations toward the project can be made to the Benalto Booster Club, Box 135, Benalto, AB, T0M 0H0, or at the Benalto General Store.

Notley cheers oil sands as climate panel plans future without it KENNETH P. GREEN TROY MEDIA
The government of Alberta has released its Climate Leadership Discussion Document, which is supposed to inform citizens about climate change and prepare them for a public opinion survey on the subject. Every Albertan should read the Discussion Document closely. The Document makes it abundantly clear that despite all the nice words that the Notley government has been throwing around in meetings with oil company executives and oil and gas investors, the oil sands have very little place in her administration’s vision of Alberta’s future. On page 7 of the Document, we learn that
“Alberta has much more to offer Canada and the world than its energy products.” Alberta, we are told, can “transition to a knowledgebased, lower-carbon economy.” On page 8 we’re told that the vision which belongs to “all Albertans” is one of “sustained” economic growth, and “steady” jobcreation. Not a strong economy, not a booming economy, not Canada’s strongest economy, but one that is “sustained” and “steady.” Albertans will have to lower their expectations Digging into the Document, we find that in the entire section labelled “Alberta’s Vision,” the oil sands are not mentioned at all. But we should rejoice, because the Document goes on to tell us that “Reducing emissions does not mean halting all economic activi-
ty.” Rather, it envisions downshifting to something “sustainable” within a changing global market that doesn't, we’re told early in the report, want high-carbon fuels any more. So how do we get to this green Shangri-La of an Alberta composed of clerks tracking wind turbines and solar panels? The Document offers up the standard laundry list of failed (or rejected) green policies. For the oil and gas sector? Some combination of “much higher” carbon pricing, technology initiatives, and subsidies for green technology head up the wish list, followed by performance standards on everything from products to technology to fuel choice, and/or standards for the entire sector. For the electricity sec-
tor? Alberta gets the dubious privilege of following Ontario’s Green Power disaster, with feed-in tariffs to subsidize wind and solar power, tax credits and subsidies to producers of “green” energy; Renewable Energy Certificates; government-backed loan guarantees and power purchase agreements; and, of course, more performance standards such as Renewable Portfolio Standards. How did that approach work in Ontario? Badly. Power prices skyrocketed, and are slated to continue to rise while Ontarians subsidize Americans to use their wind power. Lest you think you’re getting off the hook in your personal life, the goal for the transportation sector is “Increasing use of public transit, encouraging car-
pooling, fuel taxes, clean vehicle technology and transportation design techniques that minimize vehicle use and promote active transportation.” How will that happen? You guessed it – still more carbon taxes used to build transit infrastructure and perhaps more performance standards, and government mandates to transition fleet vehicles to alternative and renewable energy sources. Prepare to open your wallet Finally, there’s the ever popular “energy efficiency and conservation measures” for homes and businesses. Here we’re told, “Energy efficiency improvements can be one of the most cost-effective ways to improve the affordability, and reduce the environmental impact of energy consumption.” Apparently, the authors of the Document missed this recent study by Fowlie et al. that looked at the effects of America’s largest residential energy efficiency program on a sample of 30,000 households, and found that the upfront costs came out twice as high as predicted, and the energy savings were 2.5 times smaller than predicted. The Fowlie study concludes: “Even when accounting for the broader societal benefits of energy efficiency investments, the costs still substantially outweigh the benefits; the average rate of return is approximately -9.5 per cent annually.” And efficiency standards for office buildings don’t fare much better. Despite all the talk from the Notley government about continuing to develop Alberta’s oil sands, the plans offered in the Document call for a wrenching change in Alberta’s economy, away from energy development. Now, some Albertans may want that. But, either way, the premier should be honest about where she plans to take Alberta so that at the very least, . Kenneth P.

Storm chasers a ‘meteorologist’s eyes and ears’
JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Community members received an inside look at what it takes to safely chase severe storms last Thursday at the Sylvan Lake Municipal Library. Everything from where storms generally occur to the equipment the chasers use was discussed by Prairie Storm Chaser Matt Johnson during a presentation in the evening. He said that the storms he chases are primarily in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and chasers are often a “meteorologist's eyes and ears” on the ground. His presentation included photos of severe storms in action, the armoured chase vehicles, special gear and high-definition cameras they use to capture images and videos of the storms, and infographics of how storms form. Johnson went over the difference between a weather watch and a warning, because he said people can confused the two concepts. “A watch is indicating that all aspects of severe weather are there in the atmosphere, it just doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,” Johnson said. “A warning means it’s imminent or
occurring at that time. Watch is a heads up that something might happen, a warning is it is happening.” The ingredients for severe storms are wind shear, moisture and heat energy and a trigger, which can be troughs or cold or warm fronts. Johnson said what surprises people the most about storms is how quickly they can form, as he said they can be anywhere from 15 to 90 kilometres per hour. “People are surprised by how quickly they come out, because they see blue sky and the next thing they know there’s a severe thunderstorm right above them.” The most common storm chased after is the supercell, with the least chased after being the pulse storms, because they are unpredictable and not very strong. As severe weather can act very unpredictably, he advises people to check the weather forecast in the morning, as forewarnings of severe weather will typically be posted by 10:30 a.m. by Environment Canada. “Plan your day,” he said. “In the late afternoon, you want to be somewhere where you can get to shelter, if need be.” He also encourages peo-
ple to use their phones, and weather applications such as ‘Degrees.’ The application gives weather updates so people can be prepared to take action, if need be. “It will give you a banner of either a watch or a warning, and you can be prepared that way.”

Red Deer City council has approved a water transmission line that will service the Town of Sylvan Lake. The Sylvan Lake R e g i on a l Wate r Commission recently requested the City’s support for the supply of City water to the Sylvan Lake regional communities. This includes building a transmission line from the City to the Sylvan Lake area. City administration said the City’s water treatment plant currently has capacity to accommodate the Sylvan Lake region demands. Administration requested a number of requirements be added before consideration for approval. These include the water cannot be used for agriculture purposes, full costs of capital and operating needs are borne by the commis-

sion, the commission needs to obtain a license to draw from the Red Deer River and the City maintains operation of the existing treatment plants, among others. Elaine Vincent, director of development services for the City, said regulatory approval of the treatment and transmission line could take anywhere between 12-18 months. She added the Town of Sylvan Lake will also begin to look for funding sources for the line and that Red Deerians will not see a financial impact of the new development. Some questions were also raised by council in terms of how much can be drawn out of the Red Deer River. “I do want to remind people that we have the only river with any capacity and we need to continue to be vigilant in terms of what we do,” said Councillor Lynne Mulder. “We don’t want to

get too ahead of ourselves when we know there could be a lot of other ‘asks’ coming.” Vincent added in terms of the amount of water that can be drawn from the Red Deer River and with the request from Sylvan Lake, the City is no where near capacity. “In fact, the Sylvan Lake request could almost be 10-fold of what it is before we even make a mark in terms of getting close to what those draw numbers are off the Red Deer River,” said Vincent. Councillor Dianne Wyntjes said working with neighbouring communities is always a positive thing. “I was pleased to see in our recommendation that we are including Sylvan Lake having ongoing water conservation programs and initiatives, similar to those that we have here in the City as well as recognizing that in case of inadequate water supply such as drought, failure or other causes the Sylvan line must restrict the customer use of water similar to what Red Deer does,” she said. “I appreciate that we are all in this together. We have one main river and many municipalities draw upon the Red Deer River for their water, of course Red Deer being the largest, and now we are expanding that.” Mayor Tara Veer said she was also in favour of the water transmission line. “I think there are a couple of positives in this agreement – one is the cost of both the capital and operating will be borne by the commission and the Town of Sylvan Lake themselves,” she said. “I also think from a regional perspective it does uphold our role as a regional hub particularly as we grow and because of our central positioning on the corridor and it is in alignment with our efforts to protect the watershed.” City council voted unanimously in favour of the water transmission line. Councillor Paul Harris was absent.

Sylvan Lake teen proving adept on the water
Cadet Alexandré Goulet of Sylvan Lake, shown here at on-the-job training in canteen, recently attained the ability to operate powerboats. SUBMITTED
At an age when most teens are eyeing up their first driver’s licence, Sylvan Lake’s Alexandré Goulet is already a qualified powerboat driver. Goulet, a 16-year-old student of HJ Cody School and cadet with 126 Red Deer Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, has spent the summer working toward the Ship’s Boat Operator qualification at the HMCS Quadra Cadet Training Centre in Comox, B.C. The youngster, who in his spare time enjoys archery, fishing, building models and fishing, said operating the powerboats was just one aspect of his busy summer at HMCS Quadra, where he was able to see naval field and
Lee-Enfield guns being fired. The opportunity, he said, also allowed him to meet plenty of new people. Upon completing his training this week, his qualifications will include a Pleasure Craft Operator Card, a first aid certificate and a number of badges to wear on his uniform, each signifying a different aspect of his course completed. According to National Defence, over 3,400 sea, air and army cadets took part in similar training activities in B.C. throughout the summer. Others spent time travelling across Canada and overseas. - NEWS STAFF

Many families face the challenge of raising children in conjunction with taking care of aging parents, leaving them feeling physically and mentally drained. To help families of such circumstances know where to access the right help, a symposium — Where Do We Go From Here? — will be held at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre this fall. A wide range of resources and contact information on caregivers, housing and supportive living will be presented at the Oct. 7 event, with around 35 groups having been invited. Discussion topics could include accommodation arrangements, home care, stress management, com-

Attendees will be given clear information on accommodation processes for their family members, said Sylvan Lake Seniors Association program coordinator Maryan Weenink. “People are under the assumption that, to go into the Manor or the Lodge, you have to go through home care and get an assessment done, and that’s not the process. They are independent,” she said. “A lot of them just assume that it’s all together, but it’s very separate.” Different living accommodations and what to expect in caregiving will be explained as well.

A THANKFUL member of the Sylvan Lake Ministerial Thank You who faithfully read the Ministerial Column, we trust it brings encouragement, hope and builds your faith. Thank you are two words that could be used more often in one’s daily vocabulary. Do you go out of your way to smile and say thank you to someone every day.? I made a decision a number of years ago to say thank you often. I have realized that saying thank you has been a blessing in my life and those around us. Q. Do you look for opportunities to say thank you to your spouse if you are married, to your family, to your boss and also fellow employees? Q. Do you regularly write thank you notes? Someone said if you think-it, ink-it. Writing a thank you note takes time and to those receiving your kind words appreciate it more. Thankful people are generally happier. I am not sure if statically they live longer but they sure enjoy
life’s journey. Today’s society has become too focused on THANK ME. We seem to live in a time where we hear.....’what have you done for me lately’. Thank you people do not go down that path, their journey is thanking and helping others. Each time I see an empty cross, I think and remind myself.......thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus for changing my life and thank you for making me who I am . Thank you. The more We are thankful, the better our community will be. The more the world will be and the more that others lives will be. Have a thank filled day, week and be challenged to say thank you to at least one other person today...... Yes pass it on. Go into all the world and be thankful. THANK YOU. Steve Rowe Gideon’s Int. In Canada

Time to speak up for urgent care: MacIntyre STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Don MacIntyre says now is the time for Sylvan Lakers to make their voices heard about what they want to see in the upcoming provincial budget — namely, their need for an urgent care facility. “This government is very desperate to look good in the first year in power, and they need to be seen as being people-centred, so it is an opportunity for the citizens of Sylvan Lake to join together and just stuff the mailbox,” he said, addressing Sylvan Lake Town Council during its regular meeting Monday night. “Email really doesn’t work very well, but letters in an envelope sent to the Minister of Health, that would speak volumes if there was 1,000 letters in their mailbox.” Sylvan Lake Mayor Sean McIntyre said he’s written letters to the provincial health minister on the town’s urgent care situation, and agreed with MLA MacIntyre’s assertion that the more sent, the better. “It might be time to strike up our citizens and have them again write letters, because we do have a fresh government looking at this with fresh eyes,” he said. “It certainly is our number-one lobbying priority.” MLA MacIntyre said he’s been meeting with Mayor McIntyre to discuss urgent care among other local issues and needs, such as the town’s ongoing water and wastewater situ-
ation. While he encouraged councillors to approach him with further needs they’d like to see addressed, Coun. Matt Prete asserted that urgent care was undoubtedly the town’s most pressing need for the upcoming budget.
“Email really doesn’t work very well, but letters in an envelope sent to the Minister of Health, that would speak volumes if there was 1,000 letters in their mailbox.” Don MacIntyre “The only one we really need to push for this budget is urgent care,” he said. “Water and wastewater, we’ve got a couple of years in the budget cycle … but out number-one issue by a long shot is urgent care.” MacIntyre assured council that, as a citizen of Sylvan Lake, he too shared the same concerns as the rest of the community with regards to the matter, noting it would be “the big push” for him in the legislature this fall. “We simply cannot wait anymore,” he said. “Enough is enough.”

Chinook’s Edge School Division welcomes new teachers New Chinook’s Edge School Division teachers took part in what the division calls “one of the most extensive mentorship programs in the province” last week.
“They have found partners and colleagues who they will continue to collaborate with throughout the year, which creates even greater success.” Dr. Lissa Steele The division’s four-day New Teacher Orientation program in Innisfail saw participants taught the expectations and culture of the division. They were also given support as they began mapping out goals and plans of their own for the upcoming school year. The program was held for those who were either new to teaching or to the Chinook’s Edge School Division in particular. “They are very grounded (and) have been really thoughtful as they’ve reflected on what they’ve learned this week and what they can take back to their students,” said Dr. Lissa Steele, associate superintendent of learning services. “They have found partners and colleagues who they will continue to collaborate with throughout the year, which creates even greater success.” Of this year’s new teachers, four will be based in Sylvan Lake: Michelle Wilson, Julian Moore, Christa Waisanen and Kendall Kloss. All four will teach at HJ Cody School. All of the division’s new teachers were introduced to school administrators in Olds during a gathering last Friday morning. - NEWS STAFF

Truck allegedly stolen from Sylvan Lake involved in high-speed chase Police say a truck reported stolen from Sylvan Lake last month turned up as the subject of a high-speed chase in Red Deer a day later. Red Deer RCMP on July 31 set up a checkstop around 2 a.m. in the city’s McKenzie Trails Recreation Area, where a noisy party was said to have been taking place.
At that time, a black truck allegedly refused to stop for several police vehicles, despite their emergency equipment being activated. It continued to flee even after running over two tire-deflation devices. With its tires deflated, the truck was followed by police as it drove at a high speed south on 45 Avenue in Red Deer. It then made its way through several residential areas
before heading east on Ross Street and eventually stopping near the Erickson Drive intersection. At that point, its driver and a passenger fled on foot, running south in separate directions toward a bushed area. The driver was eventually located following a search by RCMP and Police Dog Services and arrested without further incident. At press time, the passenger of the truck — which police say was stolen from Sylvan
Lake July 30 — remained at large. Logan Nottal, 18, of Red Deer, is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, operating a motor vehicle while being pursued by police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, resisting/obstructing a peace officer, and failing to comply with an undertaking. A court appearance has been set for Aug. 26 in Red Deer. - NEWS STAFF

Organizers of an upcoming community fundraiser in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada have come up with a unique theme for the event — that of “good old-fashioned fun.” The backyard party fundraiser, to be held Saturday, Sept. 5 at 26 Westwood Cres. in Sylvan Lake, will see all proceeds from an onsite silent auction donated to the MS Society. Flashback Freddy will perform his popular pleth-
ora of rock and roll hits, while a photo booth and face painting for children will provide further entertaining fun. Festivities are expected to kick off at around 6:30 p.m. “Every year, the party has provided a great way to gather, have fun and raise money for a hugely important cause, and I’m confident this year will be no exception,” said Treena Mielke, one of the event’s organizers. “We plan to transform our
backyard into a miniature Hawaiian paradise — at least we plan to attempt to transform the yard into such a paradise — of course, there may be a very Alberta-like downpour, but we do have a huge tent ordered, so we will be dry anyway.” To confirm attendance at the event, or to donate an item to the silent auction, contact Mielke at 403-8873226 or 403-350-9453. - NEWS STAFF

Vehicle thefts on the rise in Eckville JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
As has been the case in other communities recently, the number of motor vehicle thefts in Eckville is growing at a steady rate. Staff Sgt. Gary Rhodes of the Sylvan Lake RCMP discussed and compared the crimes reported in the town from 2012 to August 2015 during an Eckville town council meeting on Monday. The statistics showed a concerning increase in motor vehicle thefts this year in
comparison to previous years. Seven motor vehicle thefts have been reported this year — an increase by five from last year. Trucks seem to be the most common vehicle stolen, more specifically the Ford F-350, Rhodes said. Many of the thefts are due to unlocked doors and trucks now being easier to start without a key. To decrease the risk of theft, Rhodes advises locking vehicle doors and avoiding leaving valuables inside. “Don't leave valuable items in the vehicle that can be seen from through the win-
dows,” he said. “If you have access to a garage or a shop of some type, put your vehicle inside.” Police are patrolling the town and responding to calls, but Rhodes encourages the community to report suspicious activity to the police, as much of the crime is committed by people from out of town. “People don’t typically do things in their own backyard, because they have to face the community and everyone knows what they’ve done,” he said. Members of the community can call the RCMP dispatch line at 403-887-3333 to report suspicious behaviour, and are asked
to provide a licence plate number and a description of the vehicle and driver. These reports can provide police with a starting point for investigating other criminal activity, Rhodes said. “Call the police so that we have that information and we can follow up on it.” Rhodes also suggested that people take charge in their own neighbourhoods and towns — which can be done by simply going for a walk. “Walk the streets and enjoy your town,” Rhodes said. “People are less likely to commit crimes if local people are watching.”

Sylvan not affected by bluegreen algae discovered in nearby Central Alberta lakes JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Health advisories recently issued for Pine Lake and Pigeon Lake have warned lake users that blue-green algae blooms have been found in parts of those lakes, and to avoid contact and consumption of the affected waters. But no such advisory has been issued for Sylvan Lake, said Deena Hinshaw of Alberta Health Services, describing the conditions needed for algae blooms to form in the lake. “Lakes at higher risk are those that have high nutrient levels,” she said. “Where there are fertilizers going into the lake or animals or human waste going into the lake, and combined with the depth and warmth of the water, all of those things together bring up the risk.” She added there’s a “whole series of things to happen for algae blooms to occur ... you need to have the high nutrient levels, the warm enough temperatures for growth, and a storm followed by calm is the final piece of that.” Graeme Strathdee, president of the Sylvan Lake Watershed Stewardship Society, said Sylvan Lake remains “well below the
concentration that would trigger chronic algae blooms,” but admitted ongoing development around the lake was a concern. “The concern is that, with a lot of increased development, it will dump stuff from the land into the lake,” he said. Blue-green algae isn’t an imminent problem for Sylvan Lake, he added; rather, it depends on nutrient levels in the lake. “You never know what the lake will do next,” he said. “It depends on the weather and the precipitation, and how much runoff there is, and a whole bunch of other things.” The advisories issued for Pigeon Lake and Pine Lake strongly suggest that lake users avoid the parts of those lakes with the algae blooms due to the toxins in the water, because direct contact will likely cause symptoms such as skin irritation, runny nose and sore throat and eyes. If ingested, lake users can experience flu-like symptoms such as headaches, diarrhea, weakness, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, abdominal cramps and — depending on how much of the toxic water is consumed — even liver damage that can result in death.
In addition, people are advised to keep pets and animal livestock away from the lake areas containing the blooms, and it is advised to limit whole fish or fish trimming consumption with fish fillets deemed safe to eat.

The Archives Society is te open op to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. at its T new n location in the lower level of the town’s Municipal Government t Building. B From 1925 to 1959, the Prom Hall H (Alexander Pavilion) played a prominent part as a venue for enterp tainment in Sylvan Lake — particularly for dance bands. The large hall was often beautifully decorated, and at one time had two saxophones painted on the front of the stage. Most of us remember the popular bands that played in the late 1940s and ’50 ’50s at the Prom and the Varsity Hall — the Sonny Fry Band, Paul Perry Orchestra and the Silvertone Seven, to name just a few. However, many other bands entertained in both halls. The photos on this page were taken in the Prom in years ranging from 1939 to the early 1950s, and feature the Ambassadors, JH Gano & Sons, the Blue Tux Boys (Joe, Ben, Bill, Len, Stan and Paul), the Rangelanders, and — ladies, take note!! — the Anderson Sisters (Ruth, Alice, Marie and Florence – 1941). Unfortunately, after many wonderful years as a venue for not only dances, but also agricultural shows, weddings, farm machinery displays, movies and political meetings, the building burned down in 1959. Arson was suspected but never proven.

its early stages. The family is from Lacombe, and Nathan has had to spend more time in hospital with his son and less time at work, diminishing the family’s cash flow. Receiving donations lowers the stress of paying bills and helps make it possible for Nathan to be with his wife and son during this time. “We’re extremely grateful for all of their help, and they are making it possible for us to be here constantly with Lincoln,” said Paige Airriess. “They make it so we don’t have extra worries.” Lincoln also requires specific medication and a special diet, all costing a significant amount of money, which means making financial ends meet is that much harder. They have received financial help from family members and have had a donation website set up for receiving funds. The money this family receives will help a great deal and will be used to pay for the expensive medications and food Lincoln needs. Receiving donations will also help to put the couple’s minds at ease, and Paige said she and her husband feel happy and blessed to receive donations. “There are people out there that are willing to help my family even if they don’t know who we are,” she said. She said watching her son suffer from cancer is awful, especially when there isn’t much she or her husband can do about it except love him and to try and make him feel better. She added they try to stay positive by playing with him to keep him smiling and laughing and feeding him good food. “We’re grateful for all the help that people give.” Donations can be made online at www.gofundme. com/v4xtffpg.

Angelozzi’s closes STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
A unique Sylvan Lake sandwich shop closed its doors last week. Angelozzi’s, specializing in “authentic Montreal smoked meat,” opened in Varsity Plaza on 46 Street in the fall of 2012, and served its final sandwich last Friday. Marilee Littmann, who co-owned the deli-style restaurant when it closed, said management could no longer afford to sustain the business. “We’re not getting enough people through the doors ... and unfortunately we can’t afford to subsidize it,” she said. “We thought we would get beach traffic in the summer that would hold (us) through to the winter, but unfortunately that never materialized. “You see people walking by with their coolers and stuff going to the beach, but they don’t stop in.” Nonetheless, Littmann, who assumed part ownership in March 2013, assured the restaurant had a good run — thanks to its loyal customer base. “We would like to stress that we appreciate all that (our customers) gave to us over the last three years,” she said. “They certainly did support us very well.” DO YOUR PART

to 161, following the announcement last week that it had acquired certain assets of the Oklahomabased Hewitt Specialty Services. Through the US$1.3
million deal, Lonestar will acquire Hewitt’s five hydrovac trucks and one dry vacuum truck. As well, it’s expected the acquisition will add nearly US$3 million in additional annual
revenue for the Sylvan Lake company. “The Hewitt acquisition is consistent with our corporate growth strategy,” said Lonestar CEO James Hovarth, “The addition of a
base that services the Cushing, Oklahoma region will complement our existing base in Elk City, Oklahoma and expand our presence in the South Central United States.”
Hovarth also welcomed Brad Hewitt to the Lonestar fold, saying Hewitt would “be a valuable addition to our senior management team.” - NEWS STAFF

Local riders fare well in Alberta Wake Tour JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Wakeboarders from all across the province took to the lake during the Alberta Wake Tour’s Sylvan Lake stop on Aug. 16. STUART FULLARTON
Frigid lake temperatures were no match for the wakeboarding event that took place on Sylvan Lake last Sunday (Aug. 16). Many wakeboarders from the Central Alberta area participated at all different skill levels in the Alberta Wake Tour. The event went smoothly, due to many volunteers working to make it an overall success, said Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta board member Jeremy Howsam. With chillier weather, the boat traffic remained low, giving the wakeboarders a good chance to prove their riding abilities. About five riders were from Sylvan Lake, including Levi Wynnyk, who received first place in the Outlaw Division, and Solomon Wynnyk, who placed first in the Beginner Division. “There were some kids who were out there as well,” Howsam said. “There was lots of local support for the riders, so it was pretty good.” Howsam said this event could be an ice breaker for growing the sport’s popularity, as he hopes to make it into a bigger stop and bring in some professionals who constantly ride in professional tours. He said next year’s event will be bigger, as riders will be wakeboarding and surfing. “I am hoping to make it into one of the larger stops in Canada eventually, because Sylvan Lake has a great atmosphere, and that’s where we’re hoping to go with it.” He added he wants to show the town that the people involved with the sport are not just there to party, and that they are there to have fun. Howsam said that when people typically see wakeboarding contests, their impression is that it is only for people who are proficient at the sport, but he assured that that isn’t the case. Rather, he explained, wakeboarding contests are familyfriendly events that have included children as young as five years old and adults as old as 60. “We just hang out and have a good time. We give out lots of prizes and keep the sport slowly growing and thriving.” Bringing the tour to Sylvan Lake has allowed the sport to have more interaction with the community, subsequently allowing the tour’s riders to form a relationship with the town, Howsam said. “The plan was to get more exposure in Sylvan Lake to show people that this is just a fun event and it’s nothing too intimidating, and everybody should be able to come out and ride.”

Lakers kick off season with training camp this week JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The Lakers minor football team will start their season out strong by participating in the football camp starting Aug. 27. The team is expected to have about 40 players this season including students from David Thompson High School. The goal of every game is to win, said head coach Jeremy Braitenback, and in order to get back into the sport,
the players attend the camp to get them up to speed. Braitenback said many of the players have to get back into shape after the summer holidays and that is the purpose of the camp; the players get ready to perform at their full potential. He said the camp also mentally prepares the players in how to execute playing strategies and how to work together as a team. “The players need to know where they are supposed to line up and what their job is before the snap, and that’s what the training camp does,” he said.
The players also learn that being a part of the team takes a lot of hard work, dedication and devotion, Braitenback said. “We don’t just show up to practice and go through the motions. We practice as if it’s a game and with intensity, because we don’t play to win, we practice to win, and that has always been our motto.” Braitenback encourages the community to come out and watch the games and follow the Lakers by visiting the Sylvan Lake Minor Football Association website where team updates, games and rosters are posted.

Infill development regulations to be included in Land Use Bylaw review STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
Eating fire
- Fire eater Cody Fitts bravely eats fire to entertain the audience at the Family Fun Circus in Benalto Aug. 11. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN
The Town of Sylvan Lake will look at implementing infill development regulations as another part of its ongoing Land Use Bylaw review. The direction to do so came from council during its regular meeting on Monday night, and in light of a recent application to construct two fourplex buildings on 48 Street that proved contentious among some nearby residents. The Town’s Subdivision and Development Appeal Board last week upheld the Municipal Planning Commission’s earlier approval in that particular instance, but not before concerns were raised by some area residents who felt their stances weren’t being adequately acknowledged. The implementation of such regulations, Mayor Sean McIntyre said, he hoped would “give landowners some sort of amount of predicability as to what will be permissible in their neighbourhoods.” Coun. Matt Prete agreed, and noted a particular need for reevaluation in the Town’s R2 zoning designation. He pointed to recent events as an example. “I personally am not in favour of an apartment building going in an R2 district ... and I think that we should take discretionary uses out of R2,” he said. “I’d like R2 to be single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes — none of these front and back fourplexes.” Following council’s decision, McIntyre thanked Town staff for the responsive manner in which they dealt with the concerns surrounding the matter.

Sausage House re-opens under new ownership JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The Po Boyz Sausage House has reopened and is now serving unique styles of gourmet cooked sausages. Executive chef and owner Theresa Omoth has taken over the sausage house and is serving a unique menu of different sausages, cheeses, homemade chili and a specialty soup of the day. The Po Boyz Sausage House is the only one in Central Alberta, but Omoth hopes to open up more locations in Red Deer and Blackfalds. Omoth has been a chef for three years, and being a young entrepreneur, she has chosen to take on the business to feed her passion for preparing gourmet food and giving the community something different to try. “I see it as a good opportunity,” Omoth said. “Running a home business is fun, but I need something else.” This is not the first business for Omoth, as she ran a gourmet food truck last year
and has a home business creating personal meal plans for people. She also produces her own home cook shows. The sausage house was opened last year by the previous owners, but now that Omoth has taking ownership of it, she has the challenge of running the business, which she said she enjoys. “I enjoy the people that live here, the feedback that I get from all of my food and my creations, and I want to keep working with that.” With this business, she has been able to give three young people jobs, which was another goal of hers. She also wants to give customers the opportunity to try something different. “I want people to be able to admire it,” she said. “It’s a fun local business, and being a young entrepreneur, I would like people to come in and see for themselves what it is, rather than just judging it by the sign.” The business, located in Chateau Plaza just off Lakeshore Drive, has created an excellent opportunity for her to live out her creative side with preparing gourmet meals.
“It’s something that is very easy to be creative with,” Omoth said. “The specialties are done with the sausages here, and it’s not just your average hot dog — it is gourmet.” Omoth takes her customers’ health into consideration by offering some gluten-free food and steaming her sausages and then keeping them hot and fresh on a heat roller. This way, there are no added fats. Omoth presents her food in such a way of where it grabs her customers’ attention and makes their mouths water. The ‘Skinny Pig,’ she said, is one of the best sellers on the menu. “There are a lot of men who love it,”
Omoth said. “Initially I thought it would be more directed towards women or healthier eaters, but there are a lot of men who really enjoy it.” She said she’s surprised that some of the items have gained popularity, as she suspected the chili cheese would be the ultimate favourite. “It’s nice to see people stepping out of the box.” She added she wants to bring in a panini machine and a donair machine for serving different meals in the winter. “It’s weird, but I want to give people a place to eat donairs in the winter.”

Sylvan Lake street dancer takes skills to the next level Six months ago, Sebastian — also known as DJ Sabatoge — was inspired by a hip hop sensation named Bobby Mileage. Bobby was touring the world promoting his upcoming street dance camp called Change the Game Project. As luck had it, one of his stops was Pound It Hip Hop studio in Red Deer where Sebastian trains. After completing Bobby’s workshop and hearing about the camp, Sebastian set a goal to be there and pay his own way. The Change the Game Project is a weeklong street dance camp in Calgary hosting some of the world’s biggest names in hip hop, including four members of the Elite Force Crew that have toured with Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Will Smith. Every day there are five classes to take, and each night a street dance battle is held to win up to $12,000 in prize money — an opportunity Sebastian didn’t want to miss out on. He made a goal to raise $1,000 to cover all costs. Being only 10 years old, Sebastian decided to be a busker at the Sylvan Lake Farmers Market to raise his funds. He danced for one hour at seven markets leading up to his camp. On the final night his grand total came to $1,269.22! Goal achieved! His hard work and dedication, no matter what the weather, paid off. Sebastian attended the Change the Game Project last week in Calgary, in an experi-
ence he will never forget. It included instruction from the legendary Popin Pete, Loose Joint, Bboy Lilou and many more, five classes a day and battles that went until midnight every night. The majority of the dancers that attended were adults, including guest battlers from as far as Tokyo, Australia, the United States and Poland. Despite only having two years of experience in choreographed dancing, Sebastian got the courage to go against some of the veterans in the industry. As a street dancer, you need to be creative and prepared for any kind of music and think quickly on the moves you use — it’s very different from a choreographed routine. Sebastian competed in three of the battles and made it to the second round in the Breakin Battle. He is excited to bring what he’s learned back to his studio as he begins to train in the accelerated group La Familia at Pound It Hip Hop Studio. Sabatoge would like to extend a huge thank you to the Sylvan Lake Farmers Market for allowing him to busk, and to all local residents and visitors to Sylvan Lake that came by and supported the art of street dance. He hopes his story will motivate other youth in the community to pursue their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals. Follow Sebastian's street dance journey on Instagram (@djsabatoge) for all his upcoming adventures. - SUBMITTED
