Vincent, who was killed in a separate hit-and-run incident in Quebec just two days earlier.

“They died serving our nation, and will remain forever true Canadian heroes,” said Dreeshen. “We are forever indebted to their heroism and service to our nation.”

Calkins urged Canadians to be grateful to “police and peace officers for protecting us every day, and (to) also encourage the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces as they continue to protect and defend our beloved freedoms.”

Briefing media via a conference call from his home in Lacombe last Friday, he said the day on which the events took place began like any other.

While chatting with a colleague in the Conservative Party caucus room, he per-ceived an initial “loud bang” to be of no con-cern. Such noises, he said, aren’t uncommon in the House of Commons.

“It’s a busy place: There are people moving trolleys around, things get dropped and there’s construction work outside which has been

using controlled explosions.”Within seconds, however, the seriousness

of the situation became apparent.“I heard the rapid fire of what I knew to be

a handgun, which confirmed my suspicion that the first shot was actually a firearm,” said Calkins. “I then basically just was shocked for the first few seconds ... and then I heard more gun fire. There were a lot — and I mean a lot — of shots fired.”

Calkins spent the rest of the day in lock-down, unable to make contact with the out-side world.

A “sobering moment” arrived when he and his colleagues were addressed by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, who told them he had shot and killed the gunman responsible.

“You could see he was visibly shaken, but still firm in his resolve,” said Calkins, adding only partial relief was provided by the news. “There was a lot of chaos and confusion, and we weren’t sure if there were multiple people still involved.”

Dreeshen recounted a similarly harrowing account of events in last Friday’s Red Deer Advocate, noting he was “running on adren-alin” throughout the day.

In a statement, he referred to the incident as “not just an attack on the legislature of Canada, but on Canada as a whole.”

Calkins said he would refuse to be intimi-dated by the attack, and encouraged Canadians to remain steadfast in its wake.

“I believe in my heart that most people are good, honest, decent people,” he said. “As long as there are more people that feel that way than there are with hatred in their hearts, then people with that goodness and that hope and that optimism in their hearts will always prevail.”

Mighty Owls Daycare owners Max and Carly Legault, third and second from right, respectively, are presented with the Start-Up Entrepreneur Award at the Success 4 Business Expo in Red Deer Oct. 9. SUBMITTED

STUART FULLARTONSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A new Sylvan Lake daycare has proved success-ful since opening earlier this year, and was recog-nized with the Start-Up Entrepreneur Award at the Success 4 Business Expo in Red Deer Oct. 9.

Mighty Owls Daycare was opened by husband and wife partners Max and Carly Legault in April, and has been growing steadily ever since.

But Max Legault said he’s refusing to get carried away by the recent accolade, and is instead com-mitted to ensuring the business continues to oper-ate and grow in the most successful manner pos-sible.

“I think the best word to describe (receiving the award) would be ‘reassuring,’” he said. “By no means do we think that this is the end-all; it’s just kind of that boost that says you’re heading in the right direction.”

Mighty Owls was one of three nominated final-ists up for the award. Both of the others were from Red Deer.

An exemplary business model and demon-strated innovation were both factors in the day-care’s receiving the award, according to Legault. And he feels the experience brought to the table by both himself and his wife has also played a promi-nent role in the daycare’s success so far.

“Carly and I have backgrounds that allowed us to complement the business model,” he said. “In my former career, I was a mental health counsellor and really got a lot of experience in child develop-ment and in organizational management. Carly has taught nursing for 12 years at the university level.

“When I was looking at what kind of business we wanted to start, daycare seemed like a natural fit.”

The business operates out of a 4,300-sq.-ft. space on Hinshaw Dr., in a facility Legault describes as “state of the art,” and which he feels will allow plenty of room for future growth.

“We’re growing very fast, and that growth is welcome, but it’s challenging at the same time,” he said. “It’s where we want to be, but it’s just a matter of making sure everything adds up.”

TREENA MIELKEBLACK PRESS

Deadline day has rolled around again.It is the 11th hour of that dreaded day and my

eyes are downcast, my hands on my computer screen and my brain whirring as I struggle to come with a column idea.

Usually, as I write and re-write about the ups and downs of the merry-go-round of my life, I find it relatively easy to discover a happy moment, a ray of sunshine, or, if all else fails, I make some-thing up.

Consequently, my hope is that my readers and I will both feel better!

But today, nothing cheerful or particularly lighthearted comes to mind, as I find myself, like Canadians everywhere, struggling to come to grips with the senseless killing of the Canadian soldier that took place in Ottawa last week.

As I heard the news on CBC Radio, the thought slammed into my gut that life is unfair; so unfair.

And we as Canadians are immune to nothing.The kid was 24-years-old. Still wet behind the

ears, as they say. I thought about his mom, wher-ever she may be, and how she would weep as only a mother can when she heard the news.

I felt tears prick my own eyes as I thought of a young man, doing his duty as honour guard, a young man who had, not all that long ago, been only a boy.

And I thought of countless Remembrance Day ceremonies I have covered, paying tribute to all the young men and women who gave their lives for our country.

They fought in war and they fought for peace.So is this peace? The announcer on CBC says the soldiers are

being advised not to wear their uniforms in pub-lic because they could be targets. They could be gunned down.

The actions of one crazed gunman who shot a Canadian soldier point blank was a grim remind-er of the thin line between ‘peace and war.’

The shooting which put the entire downtown core of Ottawa in lockdown has brought patrio-tism to the forefront for many Canadians.

Facebook is filled with quotes reminding us of our proud Canadian heritage.

And everywhere people are talking.I was in a line up at the grocery store and the

lady next to me, a complete stranger who seemed to feel the need to express her feelings to anyone

Ottawa events a reminder of the debt we owe to those who servewho would listen, plopped her milk and bread on the counter with a vengeance.

Apparently she had heard Ottawa being referred to as Ottawa, Canada, not Ottawa, Ontario, from some news broadcast in the States.

“I tell you, we know a lot more about them than they do about us,” she muttered indignantly.

It is true that news of ‘Canada, our home and native land,’ should be broadcast high on moun-taintops and everywhere else people will listen.

There is so much good here.Our great land is stamped with rivers and

lakes and forests that stretch far and wide and are almost spellbinding in their beauty.

We have great and wonderful athletes that have brought us great acclaim in the past and continue to do so. We have amazing sports

teams.We have authors and poets that have allowed

us, through their words, to travel to places where we could live happily in our minds for as long as our imagination lets us.

Sadly, however, the incident in Ottawa was a news bulletin that should never have happened, let alone one that should be shared.

And it was a grim reminder never to become complacent about our so-called freedom, or the life we so often take for granted. And it also serves as a reminder of the debt we owe to the young men and women of the past, present and future who chose to wear a uniform and defend their country.

It is an ongoing debt!

69 years ago ...From the issue of October 24, 1945Sylvan Lake’s contribution to the

National Clothing Collection has been very satisfactory. Over a ton of wear-ing apparel has already been shipped and there is on hand a considerable quantity yet to be packed.

♦ ♦ ♦

Sylvan Lake unit is setting a fast pace in its 9th loan drive. At the end of business on the second day 41% of the quota of $99,000 had been sub-scribed.

The village of Sylvan Lake was within 12% of its quota at the end of the second day, and members of the I.O.D.E., who are making the canvass, may well be proud of their splendid effort.

With farmers busy harvesting, returns from rural sub-units will be slower coming in, but canvassers are confidently looking forward to good showings in their respective areas.

♦ ♦ ♦

There was a nice turn out for the Vets card party held last night in their hall. At bridge Miss Estelle Conaty and C. L. Dunford were winners; con-

solation prizes going to Mrs. R. Speedie and Charlie Pass. At court whist Mrs. G. N. Talentyre and Miss Joyce Harrison tied for first place. George Daley Jr. won the men’s first prize and E. W. Gillespie the men’s consolation.

50 years ago ...From the issue of November 5, 1964The Department of Public Works of

Canada is calling for tenders for repairs to be made to the breakwater wharf at Sylvan Lake.

It is planned to carry out repairs to the breakwater during the winter when work can be carried on from the ice.

The breakwater was damaged last spring when moving ice shifted a por-tion of the breakwater from its base.

At the last regular meeting of Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce, a new slate of officers was installed as follows: President - Wm. Tennant; 1st Vice-President - Bob Brown; 2nd Vice-President - Ted Milligan; Treasurer - Stan Logan; Secretary - Neil Garvin.

The chamber voted to send a letter to the town asking that action be taken to build a skating arena at Sylvan Lake.

♦ ♦ ♦

At their meeting Monday evening, Sylvan Lake councillors considered a request from the chamber of com-merce requesting action on an arena. It was pointed out that a request such as this, requiring a money bylaw, must be made in the form of a petition con-taining 20 signatures of ratepayers.

Sylvan Lake RCMP are asking the driver involved in a collision with a parked vehicle earlier this month to contact the Sylvan Lake detachment.

A Nissan parked near 83 Sylvan Dr. in Sylvan Lake was hit by another vehicle around 6 a.m. on Oct. 10. The driver of the vehicle left a note with a name and phone number, but police say the information pro-vided was illegible. They’ve since been unable to make con-tact.

To complete a file on the incident, police require the driver to contact Sylvan Lake RCMP either in per-son at 4260 50 St., or by calling Const. Kathryn Robertson at 403-858-7200.

Police seeking driver in parked vehicle incident


This Saturday (Nov. 1) marks the official start of the month-long Movember fundraising campaign, and we here at the Sylvan Lake News are happy to announce our participa-tion.

But we’re going to need your help.If you don’t know what Movember

is, it’s a portmanteau of the words ‘moustache’ and ‘November’. Put them together, and what you have is a month-long campaign to raise both money and awareness in support of men’s health — prostate cancer, tes-ticular cancer and men’s mental health, in particular.

Throughout the month of November, men all around the world will grow their finest moustaches in support of the cause, and with the

support of the women in their lives. We’re asking our ‘Mo Bros’ of Sylvan Lake to join us in our own fundrais-ing pursuits, and are giving them the chance to show the community their finest moustache-growing efforts.

First, we need participants to sign up with the Sylvan Lake News fund-raising team at ca.movember.com, and to post clean-shaven pictures of themselves to the Sylvan Lake News Facebook page on Nov. 1. Those who don’t have a Facebook account may submit pictures to [email protected].

After that, there’s nothing else to do but grow the most spectacular moustache possible, while encourag-ing friends and family to either do the same or donate to the cause. We’ll be printing some of the most impressive moustaches in our paper and sharing them on our Facebook page.

Team members needed as Movember journey beginsThen, at the end of the month, our participants

will have the chance to relax and enjoy a courtesy shave at either Serenella Salon and Spa or Sylvan Lake Barber Shop.

The Movember Foundation, billed as the “lead-ing global organization committed to changing the face of men’s health,” is the beneficiary of our moustache-growing exploits, and boasts some stag-gering statistics with regards to its annual month-long campaign.

More than $574 million has been raised world-wide in Movember-related campaigns over the past ten years. That’s helped fund more than 200 men’s health-related programs in that time.

Those numbers speak for themselves, and it’s easy to see why participation in such fundraisers is so important.

So if you are able to, give your moustache a grow, and make sure you tell all your friends and family to do the same.

If you need more information on how to join our team, give us a shout at the office at 403-887-2331. Day 1 — The journey begins.

More than 250 people celebrated local business at the 2014 Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce Business Awards and Mermaid Ball at the Community Centre last Friday night.

The chamber puts on the event each year to recognize and bring awareness to local businesses, organizations and entrepreneurs who benefit the town through their products, services and knowl-

Sylvan Lake business community celebrates successful yearedge.

President Dwayne Stoesz said Friday’s atten-dance was one of the largest ever for a Sylvan Lake Chamber event, and commended everyone involved with the Sylvan Lake business commu-nity on another successful year.

“Last year, I made the bold prediction that 2014 would be a year of firsts, a year of achievements and a year of exciting opportunities, and I believe I speak for the entire board of directors when I say many of those predictions have come to fruition,” he said. “We have seen our small town grow and prosper by leaps and bounds above anywhere any-

one might have predicted.”Stoesz said the chamber has seen

RCMP NOTES

October 184:37 a.m. – A routine patrol by RCMP resulted

in several charges being laid against a 41-year-old driver. Police observed a male driving erratically on Highway 11 westbound and followed the vehicle observing the driver crossing the centre line. The driver was stopped near Range Road 11 and upon questioning was arrested for impaired driving. The Red Deer male is facing charges of impaired driving; having a blood alcohol level over .08; driving an uninsured vehicle; and driv-ing a vehicle without a certificate of registration.

October 1912:13 a.m. – A 911 call was received by dis-

patch of a female yelling in distress while at a bar in Sylvan Lake. RCMP attended a local liquor establishment on Lakeshore Drive and located an intoxicated female advising that she had been involved in a physical altercation with another female, receiving bite marks to her neck and arms. An investigation into the matter is continu-ing.

11:21 a.m. – RCMP contacted the owner of a vehicle that was stolen from outside a residence on Hammond Close in Sylvan Lake. The vehicle was later recovered at Petro Beach but was severe-ly damaged both on the interior and exterior. The owner was unaware the vehicle had been stolen. The vehicle appeared to have been used as part of a joyriding excursion.

9:38 p.m. – A driving complaint was reported to RCMP of a vehicle being driven erratically on Highway 11 just west of Alberta Springs Golf Course. The Corvette was observed to be travel-ing at a high rate of speed and swerving all over the road, including onto the shoulder. The driver, a 38-year-old female resident of Sylvan Lake, was arrested and is charged with impaired driving and having a blood alcohol level over. 08.

October 206:30 p.m. – RCMP were on a routine patrol

when they observed an intoxicated male pushing a bike while walking on the sidewalk at 47th Avenue at 50th Street in Sylvan Lake. The 24-year-old male was visibly impaired and was unable to

stand. A check on the male revealed two out-standing warrants out of Calgary. The male was arrested and transported to cells for processing and until sober.

6:40 p.m. – Police were called to an address on 43rd Street in Sylvan Lake after reports of an intoxicated male falling down in the parking lot area of CP Blakely School. The 51-year-old male from Sylvan Lake was located by RCMP a short time later lying on the ground in a field behind the school. He was arrested for public intoxica-tion and transported back to cells until sober.

8:42 p.m. – A domestic dispute on 43rd Street in Sylvan Lake has resulted in charges being laid against both the male and female involved. RCMP were called to a residence where each party accused the other of committing an offence. Damage was also done to property both inside and outside of the residence as a result of the altercation. There were no injuries. Alcohol was a factor. Three children in the home were not physically injured. A 28-year-old male and a 25-year-old female are each charged with one count of assault.

Last ride - Wakeboarders Levi Wynnyk and Jeremy Howsam enjoyed their last ride of the year in Sylvan Lake’s cool waters last week. The pair owns and operates Sylvan Wake — a Sylvan Lake-based wake-boarding school that’s produced both provin-cial- and national-level riders. Both Wynnyk and Howsam are extremely passionate about the sport, and would participate year-round if they could. “The only thing that stops us is the ice,” said Wynnyk.

Lacombe County Division 4 councillor Paula Law was re-elected reeve during Lacombe County Council’s Organizational Meeting Oct. 21.

Following her Oath of Office, she spoke of her delight at being re-elected for a second one-year term.

“I thank my fellow councillors for their sup-port, trust and confidence in electing me to the position of reeve,” she said in a county release. “I look forward to my continuing responsibilities as reeve, and commit to working together for all of Lacombe County to maintain the high standards we all expect.”

Deputy Reeve Brenda Knight was elected for a two-year term in that role last year.

Chinook’s Edge School Division is succeeding in Safe and Caring ini-tiatives, according to results pub-lished in Alberta Education’s annual Accountability Pillar report.

The division scored high in Safe and Caring questions on satisfaction surveys, and also tallied well in Education Quality, School Improvement and Citizenship.

The rate of Chinook’s Edge stu-dents who complete high school is at a division record of 81.1 per cent.

Board chair Colleen Butler said she’s proud of the high completion rates, which have risen steadily in recent years and surpassed the pro-vincial average. The positive numbers, she feels, are a result of suc-cessful collaboration between staff, parents and students of each of the division’s schools.

Strong results in Safe and Caring data reflect the division’s commitment to nur-turing positive rela-tionships among staff, parents and students, she said.

The Accountability Pillar report also allowed division staff to see where improve-ment is needed.

While acceptable rates on diploma exams are the highest they’ve been in five years, staff

are aiming to increase the number of students who achieve levels of excel-lence.

Several strategies are in place to do so, according to Superintendent Kurt Sacher.

Improving that rate from the cur-rent 15.6 per cent to keep up with the 21 per cent provincial average is important, he said, and will involve individual growth plans for each members of the division’s staff, increased collaboration and targeted supports.

There is a person in the bible that I think many of us can relate with on some level. His name is Peter and he was one of the main disciples of Jesus. Peter was the type of guy that would often speak fi rst and think second.

On a very important night Jesus was meeting with the disciples for the fi nal time before he was going to the cross. He told his disciples that all of them would stumble that night. Peter was so distraught by this idea that he told Jesus that he would never deny him and that even if he would have to die with him, he would not deny him. But Jesus told him that he would deny him not just once, but 3 times before the rooster crowed that next day.

Sure enough, while he was denying him that third time, the rooster crowed.

Luke 23:60-62 –But Peter said, “Man I do not know what you are saying!” immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times” So Peter went out and wept bitterly.

This story comes to mind, because here was a man who had left everything to follow Jesus, who had so much Zeal for God,

yet here he is, failing so miserably. I just imagine that must have been a very painful night for him. It was so hard, that he wanted to give up, and he actually does end up giving up. See, before Peter was a disciple of Jesus, he was a fi sherman. And the next time we fi nd Peter, he is back at what he used to be doing - fi shing. He had given up and thought to himself, what a failure I have been. Even though it was true, he had failed when his faith was tested, God did not forget about him, God did not stopped caring about him, and God was not fi nished with him.

When Jesus was resurrected from the dead, he went to visit Peter in John 21. Upon fi nding him, he sees that he is back doing what he used to do. In essence, he had given up and was back to his old way of life. Jesus didn’t condemn him for his mistakes and his failures. Instead when he met him, he directed his heart back to what mattered. He encouraged him, and told him that even though he had failed, God had not forgotten about him, and had not stopped caring about him.

Even if you have failed today, God hasn’t forgotten about you.

GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU:

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

HJ Cody School’s fine arts department is offering the community a chance to visit a haunted house filled with plenty of things to make people scream Oct. 30 and 31.

“The students have taken the overarching theme of childhood nightmares and have taken things that kids might be scared of and ampli-fied them into live versions,” said drama teacher Jacqui Renwick.

The spooky house was built with draperies and curtains to create rooms to walk through where impromptu actors may scare visitors and make their blood run cold.

It’s an event meant for all ages — visitors will be asked what kind of show they want before entering.

“We tone it down for when a family comes in with five- and six-year-olds that are scared,” Renwich said. “The characters will tone it down and just wave, so it’s more of a visual thing for kids, but then we will tone it up so there might be a monster under the bed that might touch your leg or something like that.”

Renwick said students have been excited for the two-night event and have spent much of their recent free time preparing for it. She said it will also provide them an opportunity to con-nect with the community.

“It’s a good way for them to have fun with an assignment,” she said. “We do it as a fundraiser, but at the same time it kind of just pays for itself. We don’t look to make a ton of money on it, it’s more of creating an event for the commu-nity and a chance to go to the school.”

Tours of the terrifying house will be available from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 30, and 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 31.

Admission will be charged at $3 per person, with all proceeds going to drama projects and student initiatives.

A number of trees along 60 St. will be removed due to safety concerns. SUBMITTED


Safety was the primary concern behind council’s decision Monday night to approve the immediate removal of 13 trees deemed to be in irreparable decline along 60 St. on the west side of Fieldstone Way.

An Evaluation of Tree Health and Structural Integrity Report found that 13 of the 43 trees evalu-ated needed to be removed imme-diately.

Mayor Sean McIntyre said the trees are located along a property line, and he expressed concerns with shared liability between home-owners and the town.

“The trees are legally our respon-sibility and property of both the homeowner and the town ... but they also share liability, so clearly something needs to be done,” he

said. “In the name of safety, which we value highly, those 13 trees need to be removed.”

In a separate motion, council agreed to enter into enter into agreements with affected home-owners in the area, some of whom spoke as a delegation at the meet-ing.

Agreements were to address the removal, replacement and pruning of remaining trees.

Nearby resident Hope Jensen said she was pleased with the motion approved.

“There was a spirit of co-opera-tion that was really felt between both parties, making it much more favourable moving forward,” she said.

The trees, she added, are “majes-tic” when they’re in full bloom, and she said she was glad to know they wouldn’t be lost entirely.

The animal shelter, located just north of Red Deer, was one of two finalists nominated for the award. The accolade arrives at a time when the shelter’s animal return-to-owner rates sit among some of the highest in the continent.

But despite the recognition, owner Jim deBoon is focused solely on improving operations even further.

“The first thing I tell anyone is we’re far from where we need to be — in my opinion, we’re not even close to where we need to be,” he said. “I do appreciate that we’ve come a long way ... and I’m pleased with how it’s going, but I’m not pleased with where it’s at.”

The awards ceremony, held at Chateau Lake Louise, saw the attendance of about 100 people from animal shelters, veterinary clinics, humane societies and retail-ers.

A presentation on service dogs for sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) proved a particular highlight for deBoon, who echoed the importance of the cause.

“Right now, they think one in six military people either has or is in the process of basically developing PTSD, but that number also applies to firefighters, EMTs and peace officers,” he said. “That’s a million ser-vice dogs that are going to be needed in the next five to 20 years. It’s almost mind crippling.

“I found that to be way more important than any-thing I was doing there.”

Klassic Kennels named shelter

Members of the West Central Wildcats Peewee girls hockey team pose for a group shot following a team practice last Tuesday night. The Wildcats are new to the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League this season.


JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake Minor Hockey has teamed up with minor hockey organizations in Rocky Mountain House and Spruce View to create an all-girls program that’s com-peting in the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League this sea-son.

The West Central Wildcats program encompasses Peewee, Bantam and Midget age divisions, and was created to enhance female hockey in the area, according to Steve Wilcox, female director for the Sylvan Lake Minor Hockey

Association.“Sylvan Lake has had all-girls

hockey teams for eight years now, and this year got together with Rocky Mountain House and Spruce View for greater numbers and to build a more competitive program in all three communi-ties,” he said. “Our program is set up for growth — people don’t need to worry about there not being a team for girls to play on at a competitive level in a strong, well-run league.”

Don Goyan, who sits on the program’s newly formed commit-tee, said the program has so far been well received and has seen

players from each community working well together.

“All the girls are really excited and the teams are coming together as a cohesive group, which is excit-ing to see,” he said. “It’s nice for the girls to have an identity they can associate with and be attached to.”

Paige Goyan, who plays with the Peewee Wildcats, is enjoying being part of the new setup, and values the togetherness that exists between her teammates.

“It’s fun, you play competitively and you work as a team to score goals,” she said.

Don Goyan said the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League — which also includes teams from S t r a t h m o r e , Cochrane, Red Deer, Olds and Airdrie — offers a competitive challenge for the newly formed Wildcats.

“It’s fun, competi-tive hockey no matter what level you’re at,” he said. “Overall, we want the girls to be successful and look back on it being a great year with the desire to do it again.”

The third-place Sylvan Lake Peewee Bears football team defeat-ed the second-place Stettler Panthers 30-0 on a cold, windy day in Stettler on Saturday.

A tense first quarter saw the teams tied at 0-0 with the Bears scoring the game’s first touch-down in the second quarter, but failing on the convert.

The score remained 6-0 until

the third quarter, when the Bears scored their second touchdown and completed the convert to take the game to 14-0.

The game ended 30-0, marking the fifth consecutive game the Bears have shutout their opposi-tion.

The Bears will face the first-place Strathmore Spartans in Strathmore in Tier finals on Saturday (Nov. 1).

Inclement weather policy to alleviate winter concerns

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Chinook’s Edge School Division’s inclement

weather policy will help ease parents’ hesitation of sending children to school this winter.

Colour codes are designed to help with commu-nication when weather gets nasty, said Associate Superintendent Ray Hoppins.

Green indicates days that are safe for travel with buses running and schools open.

Yellow days indicate days when buses may not run in certain areas of the division, but when schools remain open. On these days, it is antici-pated that most staff members will be able to drive to school and that classes will take place as normal.

Red indicates days when a school or the entire division is closed due to a blizzard, heavy snow, high winds or low visibility. Staff are still expected to conduct their work from home, if possible. At least one staff member will be present at every school in the case of students inadvertently being dropped off.

The codes apply to all of Chinook’s Edge schools, including those in Sylvan Lake, Benalto and Poplar Ridge.

Hoppins said that in the event of a red day, a wide variety of communication methods will be utilized, including email alerts, text messages and phone calls.

Posts will also be made to social media and the Chinook’s Edge website.

“By actually saying that it’s a red day, we ease parents’ minds because they know that there isn’t going to be school that day,” Hoppins said. “Parents rest a littler easier knowing that it’s a day where everyone will be staying home.”

Parents have provided positive feedback on the system, he added.

“Parents were hesitant to keep their children at home, and now I think there is less hesitation, but this helps with parents’ hesitant nature,” he said. “I think it does improve communication, because as soon as you say a red day, it helps everyone under-stand and removes that hesitation from parents.”

Sweeping - Sylvan Lake Seniors Curling’s 2014-15 season began at the Bentley Curling Club with a full compliment of teams Monday morning.

A ceremony marked the start of Veterans Voices of Canada’s Flags of Remembrance tribute Saturday afternoon. As part of the tribute, 116 Canadian flags honouring fallen Canadian soldiers were raised along Highway 11 just east of Sylvan Lake, and will remain there until mid-November.

Flags raised in highway remembrance displaySTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A patriotic flag display on Highway 11 east of Sylvan Lake is paying honour to Canada’s war dead this month.

On Saturday, a ceremony marked the beginning of Veterans Voices of Canada’s (VVOC) Flags of Remembrance tribute, which has 116 Canadian flags installed along a fence on the side of the highway.

Flags were made available for spon-sorship, with 84 of the total having been sponsored by press time. Money raised through sponsorship, which requires a $200 minimum donation, supports VVOC’s historical-educational docu-mentation of Canada’s veterans.

VVOC founding CEO Allan Cameron has had the flag tribute in mind for sev-eral years now, and is proud to see it finally come to fruition.

“About three or four years ago, I wanted to do something like this, and a flag tribute is what I was thinking about,” he said. “Several months ago, I decided it’s going to happen.”

Each of the flags represents 1,000 fallen Canadian soldiers between 1900 and 2014. The tribute has attracted plen-ty of attention since the flags were raised late last week, and Cameron feels the tribute is fulfilling its purpose of remem-brance.

“I’ve had military personnel service people in my family, and it’s my way of giving back to veterans in general,” he said. “I knew it was going to be an amaz-ing thing, and I knew once people saw it that it would bring them out and make them realize what’s happening, but to see it happen, it makes me a happy guy.”

This week, flags will be accompanied by plaques recognizing sponsorship and commemorating Canadian veterans. The flags and plaques will then be presented to sponsors during a ceremony marking the end of the campaign on Nov. 15.

Flags may be sponsored until around Nov. 12 or 13, or until sponsorship avail-ability runs out, said Cameron.

Interest in the campaign has come not just from the national media atten-tion it’s garnered in the past week, he added, but also from the spectacle creat-ed by the display.

“People driving by are seeing what’s there and they want to be a part of it,” he said. “It gives people pride and it makes them think. It makes them realize that we have to give respect and we have to give tribute and honour our service peo-ple, and in effect, our protectors.”

Cameron said the tribute will take place again next year not just in Central Alberta, but all across Canada.

Information on flag sponsorship is available by contacting Cameron at [email protected].

Lakers claim victory over Wildcats to reach finalsJASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The HJ Cody Lakers football team claimed a 56-24 victory over Stettler Wildcats last Thursday, sending them to the Central Alberta rural league final.

Although game preparation time was shorter than usual, everything on the field was executed according to plan, said coach

Jeremy Braitenback.“We’ve been getting better as the year

has gone on,” he said. “We’ve invested a lot of time and effort starting back in August, and it’s starting to come together. I think we’re playing our best football right now.”

Braitenback added his players are pre-pared to go all the way to provincial finals this year, just as they did last year.

But success on the field isn’t the only

thing the team’s coaches see in their players.“Were proud of a lot of things,”

Braitenback said. “It’s the fact that they are good students and good people as well. There’s a persona often associated with football players as being big fat jerks, but that’s not the case.”

He added his players are easy to work with, and have been dedicated in practice every day. They’ve also been backed this

season by tremendous support.“We’ve had great support from our fans

and community this year, and I want to thank everyone for that, and remind them that the season isn’t over yet,” he said.

Fans will have the chance to offer further support during the rural final against Camrose Saturday (Nov. 1). The game, which will be played in Camrose, kicks off at 1 p.m.

Lakers show strength and determination in win over WildcatsJACKIE LAROCQUE

SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The HJ Cody Lakers took on the Stettler Wildcats last Thursday, with both teams fighting for the right to carry on to the finals in league play-offs.

The teams went head to head and line to line at the start of the game, with each team testing each other’s strength and determination. Alas, the Lakers proved stronger and more determined with Tyrese Hamilton gaining the first touchdown early in the first quarter. Landon Rosene skipped over the line for a second touchdown shortly after.

The Lakers defense slammed and tackled, preventing the Wildcats from gaining any foothold for a chance at a touchdown.

Then the Wildcats fumbled.Dylan Keller snagged the fumble

and bolted for the end zone, leaving the Wildcats in his wake.

Over the line for yet another touchdown.

With Seth’s amazing kicking attaining all the conversions, the Lakers went into the second half leading 21-0.

The Wildcats dug in their claws to clash with the Lakers during the sec-ond quarter. Skylar Selk, unable to pass to a Laker, zipped around all the cats for a two-yard touchdown. And the magic foot of Seth yet again made the conversion.

Back and forth play ensued, but the Lakers defense prevented any touchdowns for the second quarter.

Going into the second half, the Lakers led 28-0.

The second half of the game

proved to be exciting. Kyle Eckenswiller was picking passes throughout the quarter. Sulley Larocque managed a pick as well.

The Lakers let down their guard and the Wildcats leaped at the open-ing for their first touchdown, cou-pled with a two-point conversion to bring the score to 28-8.

Liam Hoven and Ryan Arnold looked like a smash-up derby as they hit each other head-on. After a few minutes on the ground, both recov-ered their senses.

Stettler again saw their moment and ran another touchdown, a two-point conversion bringing the score to 28-16 going into the fourth quar-ter.

The Lakers shook it off with Skylar passing to Tyrese Hamilton for a 60-yard touchdown. And with the conversion, the score was 35-16.

Dylan Keller and Chase Elwood teamed up for some sandwich tack-les. Brandon Tweed and Andrew Rush refused to allow any Wildcats through the line. Austin Ilcissin suc-ceeded in putting pressure on the quarter back forcing him to throw, allowing Kyle Eckenswiller to con-tinue picking passes.

Skylar passed off to Landon Rosene and he was gone up the side-line for a 63-yard touchdown. Yet again, Seth made the convert bring-ing the score to 42-16.

Not to be out done, Stettler ran a 70-yard touchdown with another two-point conversion bringing the game to 42-24 halfway through the final quarter.

Mucking about at the end zone, Skylar rifled the ball to Joshua Howse waiting in the end zone. Everyone

held their breath, releasing it with a cheer as Joshua caught the pass for yet another touch-down. The successful convert brought the score to 49-24.

With the clock ticking, the pressure mounted, and each team tried to get that last touchdown before the siren went off. Liam Pafford, Grayson

Herder, Brandon Tweed and Josh Rideout worked like a wall giving Skylar time to aim and fire the ball to Tristan Koller.

Tristan got 40 yards for the last touchdown of the game. Of course, Seth got the convert.

The game ended with the Lakers winning 56-24.

Pumpkin theft a violation of personal space and property

Dear Editor,The theft of our Halloween

pumpkins off of our front steps has prompted me to draft a first-time letter to your paper.

Upon arriving home after gro-cery shopping, I notice our plastic, bright orange pumpkins were missing from our front steps. Some were jack-o’-lanterns that you plug in and some were just plastic decorative pumpkins.

I realized that they were stolen the night before and I was perhaps only feet away, sitting on my couch when it happened as I could not sleep last night. Along with the feeling of being violated, knowing thieves and vandals were that close to my home, I had irrationally started crying over the loss.

It may sound like an overreac-tion, but I had inherrited many of the pumpkins from my mom when she passed away a few years ago. She loved Halloween and bought a new one each year. I am sharing

that tradition with our two-year-old son and he is very excited about Halloween and Nana’s pumpkins.

The most disturbing thing I found was the total lack of regard for our personal space and prop-erty. It may sound stupid, being upset over some plastic pumpkins, but their importance was based on what they meant to our family.

Presumably the thieves were young vandals out for the night. I am asking that the pumpkins be returned, and I hope the young people involved would think about the theft of people’s property not based on their perceived value or importance, but of the owner’s value.

I am saddened to see this is not an uncommon occurance, scan-ning the articles in this paper. I hope to raise a thoughtful, hon-ourable and kind son.

Boat mooring proposal submitted to town council

Dear Editor,Several weeks ago, the town advertised for boat

mooring proposals. The proposal I submitted was part of the agenda for council in that I would in essence build a free marina at the old lighthouse site, with a 12-foot-wide walkway and a gazebo island for summer boat mooring with an alternate year-round design including two skating areas.

I also offered to pay the town offsetting reve-nues of up to $250,000. I hope that you will print the proposal for all to consider and thereby open the debate to the public.

The proposal reads as follows:Mayor and Council,I would like to open with information that may

not be available yet to many people and start with a example.

While I was on vacation overseas, I noticed that all the fishing boats were on top of bamboo islands. I asked why and I was told that a Korean had bought all the shore land and that the only way to keep the boats out of the water was to pull them up onto these new wooden islands.

This is relevant to Sylvan Lake as well, because even if town council outlawed conventional boat lifts, people adapt.

Presently there are many inflatable and foam boat lifts for sale that do not require any permit. They are in essence a separate boat and can be anchored without any permit required. I person-ally build a boat lift that is both a trailer and a boat lift and can be taken to any lake.

Presently there are many existing boat lifts in the lakes of Alberta, of Canada and of the world. They are usually accepted as a normal need for boaters. They are in all counties, towns and ham-lets on Sylvan Lake. They are not a prohibited item to keep in your front yard. There are many boat lifts in front yards in the cabin area of the Town of Sylvan Lake. All are owned by responsible owners that remove the lifts as required from the lake.

In order to put a boat lift into Sylvan Lake Provincial Park, a permit is required — it is a simple process and I don’t know if any per-son has been refused. The lifts must be com-mercially-built quality and must have lights on them to alert other boaters to their pres-ence. Most of the lifts I have seen are a single-component lift, mean-ing that once assem-bled, they are usually never taken apart.

I build a multiple-component lift that is easily assembled by one person within an hour or less. The lifts I build easily fit into the back of a small truck and therefore can be kept in a back yard in a small box.

The Town of Sylvan

Lake has a long history of acceptance of conven-tional boat lifts within the summer boating com-munity. They are used responsibly and comply with all requirements. I feel that there is a very strong commercial opportunity for the town to both provide a service as well as make a revenue from Centennial Park and from the lake access.

I have made a proposal to the town for a boat mooring area near Lighthouse Park.

With my existing inventory and equipment, I have proposed to build a portable mooring area with a decorative walkway leading to an island with a gazebo that has a functioning lighthouse powered by solar lamps. This infrastructure can be done very reasonably in cost, installed in the spring and lifted out in the fall with my equip-ment.

I feel that if a boat lift component was incorpo-rated into the mooring at Lighthouse Point, with parking I can provide, and a boat lifting and mooring area developed near Centennial Park to allow seasonal boat lifts for rent, the town could capture a lucrative and required market.

In regards to Centennial Park Marina, I have offered to pay the town $100 to $250 per boat lift, for a potential revenue of up to $250,000 over a ten-year lease term. I would build, install and remove all infrastructures as required.

I hope that this respected town council will consider this opportunity and allow me to provide my services in any capacity that may be needed.

I ask council to allow the use of boat lifts within the present boat mooring proposal as a new marina for the people of Sylvan Lake.
