Additional teachers to help alleviate large class sizes at Fox RunSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

In a bid to alleviate large class sizes, École Fox Run School has added two more teaching staff to its current roster.

One Grade 6 homeroom teacher and one Grade 7 homeroom teacher have been added, allowing the school to downsize

Grade 6 and 7 classes significantly, accord-ing to principal Don Rattray.

“This is very exciting news for everyone here at Fox Run, and we are making every effort to make this a very positive transition for students, staff and parents,” he wrote in an email. “These additional teachers will allow us to bring class sizes in Grade 6 and 7 down considerably and continue to ensure that we have quality learning environments

at Fox Run.”Teachers and school administration

were working together last week to deter-mine which students would be placed in the new classes, before contacting parents to discuss their plans.

The new teachers began organizing their classrooms last Friday to prepare for stu-dents arriving for their first day of new classes on Monday.

Rattray said the school was “very fortu-nate to have the support of Chinook’s Edge School Division” for the additions, and encouraged those with questions about the move to contact him.

“We want to make sure that both stu-dents and parents have a voice in creating this new classroom,” he said.

Hockeyville celebrations set to kick off on SundaySTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Nearly six months after Sylvan Lake was announced Kraft Hockeyville 2014, the wait is finally over for Sylvan Lakers eager to celebrate their triumph, with four days of community celebrations set to kick off on Sunday.

While the grand prize NHL preseason game will take place Wednesday (Sept. 24), there’s plenty of Hockeyville-related activities taking place before then and throughout the four-day festival.

Organizers are assuring that the series of events — which begins with ‘Sunday Funday’ at Centennial Park — is not to be missed.

“We’re inviting everybody down, because it’s going to be a beautiful day, and what a perfect backdrop to a great festival, and a great start to a fun four days,” said Sylvan Lake Hockeyville com-mittee chair Graham Parsons.

On-site attractions on Sunday will include live music, bouncy castles, Kraft sampling kiosks and a barbecue in sup-port of local community organizations. The Stanley Cup will also be present, and the day will kick off with a speech from Mayor Sean McIntyre.

Monday will then see minor hockey clinics hosted in the afternoon, with assistance from Hockey Alberta and

Sylvan Lake Minor Hockey.On Tuesday, NHL officials will host a

clinic for Central Alberta referees, and Wednesday will see the NHL preseason game played between the Arizona Coyotes and the Calgary Flames at 5 p.m. Practices will take place earlier in the day.

But that’s not all there is look forward to on Wednesday, say organizers. Those who were unable to obtain tickets to the game will be treated to plenty of fun and entertainment during a viewing party outside, where there will be more food, live music and other activities. NHL teams will make a red carpet arrival in the morning.

St. James’ Gate and West of the Fifth are just some of the musical acts who will perform throughout the four-day festival, which Parsons is referring to as a “cele-bration of the community, and of what we’ve done since Jan. 20 (when the roof of the Sylvan Lake Arena collapsed).”

“It’s just going to be a great event,” he said. “It’s a gift from Kraft Hockeyville to the community, and we want to make it the best Kraft Hockeyville party ever. We think we’re the perfect venue for it.”

Although Hockeyville celebrations kick off officially on Sunday, Friday’s Farmers’ Market will also have a Hockeyville theme. Those who simply can’t wait until Sunday to “let their fun out,” Parsons is encouraging to attend.

A hockey-themed drive-in movie will then be shown at Canadian Tire on Saturday.

Organizers are promising plenty of surprises over the course of the festival. The NHL preseason game will be televised both domestically and abroad.

A full overview of events, times and details will be posted to the Sylvan Lake Hockeyville 2014 Facebook page, and is available on page 7 of this week’s Sylvan Lake News.

69 years ago ...From the issue of September 12, 1945

Sylvan Lake Veterans will hold a card party in their new hall on Tuesday, September 25.

The building has been remodelled and repainted. Furnishings are not complete yet but the building is other-wise ready for use.

A cordial invitation is extended to all Returned Men to attend a special re-organization meeting in the hall on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m.

♦ ♦ ♦

Maxwell, Morgan and Lloyd Conaty, sons of Mr. and Mrs. M. Conaty of Sylvan Lake, who returned to Canada from overseas service, will arrive in Calgary Thursday afternoon and are expected home later in the day.

♦ ♦ ♦

The mobile chest x-ray clinic will be in Sylvan Lake on Friday and will be in operation here for one week.

The schedule of appointments (for Sylvan Lake and immediate vicinity) is posted at The Tendersweet Meat Shop.

♦ ♦ ♦

During the I.O.D.E. meeting, a number of little girls sweaters were turned in. Twelve outfits are to be fin-ished next month for British children. Mrs. A. S. McClean reported that the I.O.D.E. paid for the upkeep of the Cenotaph ground during the summer.

50 years ago ...From the issue of September 24, 1964

Sylvan Lake’s new town office and library will be officially opened Friday, Oct. 2.

♦ ♦ ♦

Robert N. Thompson, M.P., in a let-ter to Mayor W. Dunford, announced Wednesday that plans to repair the wharf at Sylvan Lake were completed by the Federal Dept. of Public Works.

An amount of $15,000 has been authorized to renovate the structure

which was severely damaged by ice action this past spring. It is proposed to remove 200 feet of the outer end of the breakwater, and to level off the remaining 140 feet. It is understood that removal of park of the breakwater meets with the approval of local authorities provided that the remain-ing portion is kept in good repair to protect the swimming area behind it.

Because the 150 feet of the inner end of the approach pier leading to the breakwater is only eight feet wide, it is not possible to move the heavy equipment over it to repair the break-water. Consequently, it is proposed to carry out the project during the winter months when it is possible to work from the ice. Tenders will be called in the near future with the object of com-pleting work by Mar. 31, 1965.

Corporations play a vital role in societyPhilosopher George Santayana’s maxim, “Those

who cannot remember (the lessons of) the past are condemned to repeat it”, demonstrates that the most enduring wisdoms can often be stated in a single sentence.

One of history’s most powerful lessons is how Marxist-socialist theory inspired the subjugation and impoverishment of half the world’s popula-tion while free-enterprise capitalism saw the other half achieve historic levels of prosperity, social progress and personal freedom.

A starkly clear example is Germany: When the Berlin wall came crashing down in 1989, West Germany had risen from the ashes of war to become the world’s second-largest economy, while socialist East Germany was an impoverished wasteland. Yet in recent years the principal con-veyer of the benefits of free-enterprise capitalism, the corporation itself, has come under attack. Increasingly, the words “corporate” and “profit” are being used as derogatory adjectives.

It’s hard to believe that these colossal 20th cen-tury lessons could already be forgotten. But how many students are being taught them? Sadly, very few. Not only do our schools and universities fail to teach these historical facts, many teachers and university professors expose students to the same left-wing anti-business rhetoric espoused by their union leaders.

Some even see sinister motives behind well-intended corporate philanthropy. University pro-fessors decry putting donor’s names on plaques recognizing support for the construction of class-rooms or laboratories and some even believe that corporate recruitment literature should be banned from campus. Where do they think jobs for their students will come from and who pays the taxes that help pay their salaries?

Assuming the education system hasn’t done enough to make “corporation” a derogatory adjec-tive in the minds of students, along comes Hollywood. Movies such as James Cameron’s 2009 blockbuster Avatar features a greedy corporate boss intent on destroying the forest home of native humanoids on the distant planet of Pandora to mine a precious mineral called unobtanium. Animated films intended for very young children have morphed from innocent fantasies such as Snow White into films embodying a message that corporations pollute or destroy. The latest is the hugely popular The LEGO Movie, featuring President Business as an evil tyrant out to destroy the world. There’s even an organization called “Counter Corp” that sponsors an annual “Anti-Corporate Film Festival” in San Francisco. Add to this the anti-corporate pronouncements of numer-ous pop-stars and it’s indeed a miracle that any

positive thoughts about the pri-vate sector survive the teenage years.

Sooner or later, public opinion translates into public policy. The chances of revers-ing wealth-killing public policy ideas are far less than helping to foster positive public policy in the first place. When misguided or malicious people with a public voice portray “corporate” as a derog-atory adjective, they must not go unchallenged. Thoughtful, clear and frequent public communi-cation from business leaders is vitally important. And rather than being defensive, leaders should remember they have a great story to tell.

After all, who makes a bigger contribution to our country? Private business creates the vast majority of jobs and drives social progress by funding essentially all social services – both directly and through taxes paid by employees. Successful profitable corporations also bolster pri-vate and public sector pension plans through share price growth and dividends.

A widespread misconception that corporate leaders must address is that small business is good and big business is bad. In fact, big businesses provide the core economic base for small and medium-sized businesses. It’s a vital symbiotic

economic ecology. Large corporations are also the prime philanthropic contributors to social agen-cies, healthcare, education, amateur sports and the arts.

Yes, I know from first-hand experience that CEO’s have an agenda full of priorities, but they need to remember that investors, employees and regulators aren’t their only stakeholders. If corpo-rate leaders don’t tell this tremendously positive story, who will?

I urge every Chief Executive to recognize that public thought leadership is crucial, both to the future and their enterprises and our country. They should take every opportunity to communicate and demonstrate the contribution that free-enter-prise business makes in providing young Canadians with opportunities to achieve their career potential, while generating wealth for the nation. And they should be sure to explain that remembering those lessons of the past century will help keep Canada one of the world’s best places to live.

Blackboards, chalk and black-and-white rulesThe word was ‘beautiful’.The little kid, sitting in the middle of the

third row, swung her feet which didn’t quite touch the floor and chewed on the end of her pencil, thoughtfully.

‘Beautiful.’She printed beautifil and hoped for the

best. The Spelling test was over.“Wrong.”Hold out your hand. One quick sting of

the strap and it was over.One word spelled wrong, one strap. Two

words, two straps.Though it was long ago and I have to

travel far down the long, dark corridors of memories, that particular one will be etched in my mind forever.

The day I got the strap.It came to light the other day when an

old school mate came to visit.The visit was, as it always is, punctuated

with ‘remember whens’ and lots of laughter.Of course, we did the usual talking about

the grandchildren, showing off our pictures

and being all proud, the way grandparents are.

And then he said “do you remember those oiled wood floors in the school?” I used to always get slivers in my feet because of those floors.”

It took less than a heartbeat for me to go back there to that two-room school house, which did, indeed, have oiled wood floors, and about another heartbeat for me to remember when we played prisoner’s base in the basement at recess. And I remem-bered the classroom and the long row of windows facing west, windows where the rays of sun inevitably crept in, colouring the grey and dusty molecules of air in the class-room with mini rainbows.

As we talked, the memories came fast and furious, ricocheting off one another and bouncing about in the present like so many soccer balls.

“I don’t remember getting any slivers?” I said.

“You probably had shoes,” he said. “We never had shoes.”

“I got the strap,” I said, somewhat proudly. “For get-ting a spelling word wrong. Did you ever get the strap for

getting a spelling word wrong?” I ask hope-fully.

“I never got any spelling words wrong,” he replied, smugly.

“Of course, you didn’t.” We laugh together, comfortably, bound

forever by the invisible thread of memories, some true, some not quite so true.

School days!Oh, to be a kid again in September when

threshing crews ruled and golden fields of wheat and barley were dotted with rows and rows of stookes, stretching from the edge of barbed wire fences to the end of forever, maybe even to Saskatchewan.

It was the days where rules were black and white; like the dusty white chalk and

the ominous black board that covered the wall at the front of our schoolroom. It was the days when students began their day by saluting the flag and saying the Lord’s Prayer. We did it without question. In our world, there was no grey, no in betweens, no maybes.

It was the days when a teacher, even a meek, mild and gentle teacher, could wield the strap for the crime of getting a spelling word wrong and no one freaked out.

Weirdly enough, I loved that teacher. She was kind to me, even sometimes sharing the lemon tea she brought in a huge silver thermos with me and a girlfriend, quietly on the sly, after school, when the other stu-dents had gone home.

“Lemon tea,” we would say in unison, looking at each other conspiratorially, like we had this huge secret no one knew about.

And, another weird thing.I know I will remember, now and forev-

er, how to spell beautiful, even without spell check.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Speeding in residential areas not worth the riskDear Editor,

I would like to bring attention to the epidemic I am seeing take place in resi-dential areas of our town, particularly in areas around our schools. That epidemic is people speeding well above the speed limit.

I do not understand this need to speed in residential areas, where children can make a mistake, step out and the vehicle has no chance whatsoever of stopping, especially when speeding well above the limit. I can drive from one end of Sylvan to the other in five minutes. So why, then, do people need to speed, especially in neighbourhoods near schools. Is saving a minute worth what I faced one day — a day I have never forgotten and the essence

of why I wrote this?One summer day, I witnessed a speed-

er hit a child in a residential area, years ago in Edmonton. The child, a boy about seven or eight, did three 360s in the air and hit the pavement, dead. The child did not even stand a chance, and the driver who was speeding well above the limit, thought it could never happen to him.

The sound of that collision gave my wife and I nightmares for months. The driver’s life was destroyed, and the child was dead. I have never seen someone as broken as that driver was — you have to see it to understand it. To this day that accident is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen, something no one would ever want to see.

Ironically, when I see someone com-ing down my street speeding, I motion downwards. Some politely wave and I smile and say thank you. Sadly, however, most give me the finger and scream obscenities not fit to type, as if i’m infringing on their rights.

This is not always young people either. A man over 60 gave me the bird the other day. We all make mistakes I get that. God bless those who can accept an error of judgement and smile and say, hey thanks, and wave when it is brought to their attention.

All I care about are the lives of chil-dren — precious children who depend on US to compensate for their mistakes as they learn. Children are impulsive, and

make mistakes. All I am asking is for people to stop and think, is it worth it? I can not imagine how I would feel if I took out a child while trying to save a minute or two of my time.

PLEASE, believe me — the odds are small, but it is not worth the two minutes speeding may save you.

We all know or have children we love. Let us all work together and make the streets safer.

Jack Harkness,Sylvan Lake

Grateful for opportunity

Tour of Alberta provided

Dear Editor,We would like to commend the Town for tak-

ing the bold step of bringing the Tour of Alberta to Sylvan Lake, and all of the support staff for the great job in securing the route for the occasion.

Sure, we had to close our business down during the one-and-a-half-hour period that the roads were closed, but we capitalized on the team-build-ing opportunity with a picnic on the lawn during one of the last warm days of the season, and were able to participate in the excitement of this world-class event.

Thank you for making this possible.The team at Sylvan Lake Dental Centre

Enhanced health care: Progress being made, work still to be doneSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

While there’s still plenty of work to be done in the town’s pursuit of enhanced health care, progress is being made, Sylvan Lake residents were told during a town hall meeting at the Community Centre last Wednesday.

They also learned of the new guise the pursuit has taken on, as Community Advisory Committee members provided an update on the push for a Family Care Clinic — which the province identified Sylvan Lake as a potential location for last year.

“At the end of September, (we hope to) have the first draft of a business case on the Minister’s desk,” said advisory com-mittee chair Susan Samson. “We’re not sure when our paperwork is going to get looked at, and when the approvals may come through, but that’s what our time-line is.”

The shift in focus from urgent care to

a Family Care Clinic occurred after the committee, formerly known as the Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Committee, learned from Alberta Health Services that the Sylvan Lake area “was not high on the priority list,” explained Samson.

“There was no money for urgent care, and there was no money for a hospital,” she said. “The province came back and said, ‘we have money for what we’re going to call a Family Care Clinic,’ and because Sylvan Lake had done so much ground-work and so much lobbying for urgent care, we were approved to move to the next step.”

She continued: “Quite frankly, I don’t care what we call it, and I don’t think you care either. We want enhanced health care.”

Advisory committee vice chair Teresa Rilling elaborated on the benefits of a Family Care Clinic, saying it would actu-ally be more effective in meeting the town’s needs than an urgent care facility.

“It’s a linkage between services, rather

than simply being another service,” she said. “We want to connect health and wellness services within our community and beyond, so that when our neighbours around us come here for health care, they will really feel like they can come to one place and be well taken care of.”

Dr. Brad Bahler, providing a physi-cian’s perspective, encouraged Sylvan Lake residents to show faith in those who are leading the push for the town’s Family Care Clinic.

“Put your trust in the Community Advisory Committee,” he said. “They represent a broad spectrum of Sylvan Lake, they really have your best interest at heart, and they’ve done a lot of good work to date.”

Samson emphasized that the issue of enhanced health care affects residents not just of Sylvan Lake. Residents of places like Bentley, Eckville and the Summer Villages would also benefit from a Family Care Clinic in Sylvan Lake, she said. Altogether, she feels it would positively

affect between 18,000 and 22,000 area residents, as well as the “1.5 million visitors that this lake and area gets annually.”

If approval is received from the province, com-mittee and board representatives will continue working with a consultant to determine further details of the business case to be presented, such as the facility’s size, location and staffing.

Mayor Sean McIntyre said he was encouraged by the progress being made, but warned there’s still plenty of work ahead.

“We have a long way to go,” he said. “With the recent change in government, I’m asking for your support to contact the provincial government and let them know that this is still vital ... in Sylvan Lake.”

CHAPTERS OF LIFESubmitted by Owen ScottYouth Pastor | Alliance Community Church

New chapters in books are so much easier than new chapters in life. With a new chapter in a book you usually have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting yourself into.

Yes, the author might throw in a bit of a plot twist here and there, but typically when you turn the page over from one chapter to the next you do so with an excited anticipation of what’s coming. You do so because based on what you’ve read already, you know it’s going to be good.

New chapters in life are more complicated. Sometimes a new chapter in life is very much like a good book, where you have a good idea of what’s coming and are excited for it. Like when you are moving into a new home, or are

having another child. However, sometimes new chapters are unknown and scary. Like when you lose a loved one and don’t know what the next steps are, or when you have to leave behind close friends and family for that new adventure.

Chapters in life like that can be scary, frustrating and painful. But there is hope! You see, in those chapters where we don’t know what’s coming and are worried about where the next paycheck will come from or if we’ll have food to eat, there is someone who sees the end of the book.

There is someone who knows your storyline and who wants to walk through it with you. In both the dark and bright chapters of your life, trust and walk alongside Jesus. He knows what the next chapter looks like, and if you trust Him, He will show you His great and glorious storyline for your life.

Study shows school principals facing new and heavy demands

SUBMITTEDSPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

New expectations and emerging social issues are dramatically changing the work and role of school principals, according to a new study released Tuesday by the Canadian Association of Principals and the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA).

The study finds that school leaders are facing heavier workloads due to an influx of sometimes conflicting demands, including increasing student diversity, heightened accountability measures, the proliferation of digital technology and unrealistic parental demands.

The Future of the Principalship in Canada proj-ect involved 500 principals from across Canada who participated in 40 focus groups over a two-year period. The study included 180 principals from Alberta and found that the concerns of administra-tors here were similar to those from other provinces.

“It’s a new era for our school leaders. The vast majority of principals find their work fulfilling, but they’re concerned about growing workload and complexity in schools,” said Mark Ramsankar, ATA President. “These stressors work their way down through our schools and can have a very negative impact on student learning.”

The Alberta principals who participated in the study work an average of 58 to 60 hours per week and are increasingly performing business manage-ment and documentation tasks as opposed to engag-ing in educational leadership.

Ninety-five per cent of them want to spend more time in classrooms, yet they manage to devote an average of only 4.7 hours per week to instructional leadership. Alberta principals were more likely to comment on the impacts of marketing activities on their work.

“Much of what we do each day is done to market ourselves,” noted one Alberta principal cited in The Future of the Principalship in Canada. “We need to keep parents happy so we have good accountability pillar results. I have become, in many ways, more of a marketing manager than an educator.”

The study identifies professional development, specialists in schools, wraparound services and sta-ble and predictable funding as being necessary to ensure the continuing success of the Canadian edu-cation system. It also proposes five “ways forward” for Canadian principals to tackle issues related to diversity, staff development, family relationships, leadership learning and technology.

The Alberta Teachers’ Association, as the profes-sional organization of teachers, promotes and advances public education, safeguards standards of professional practice and serves as the advocate for its 35,000 members, including its nearly 5,000 school-based administrators.

STUART FULLARTONSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

There were no serious injuries reported following a collision involving a school bus and a water truck at Highway 11 and 60th Street on Tuesday morning.

Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to the scene at about 7:30 a.m., when witnesses said the water truck, heading west at the time, hit the Red Deer Catholic school bus. The bus was turning north onto 60th Street, and crossed the truck’s path.

The Sylvan Lake Fire Department and

Sylvan Lake Municipal Enforcement were also on scene. Both drivers of the vehicles, as well the bus’ only student on board, avoided serious injury, although police say they were “shaken up” by what had hap-pened.

They’re also giving credit to the driver of

the water truck, who they say “took evasive action to avoid striking the bus head on, which, as a result, limited the injuries to all persons involved.”

Charges are pending in the incident, which is under investigation.

Damage was visible on a school bus involved in a collision with a water truck on Tuesday morning. STUART FULLARTON

6:24 a.m. – A 911 call was received by RCMP dispatch of a domestic dispute in progress at a residence on 48th Avenue in

Sylvan Lake. A 20-year-old female advised that she sustained injuries as a result of a verbal alterca-tion which became physi-cal. A 30-year-old Sylvan Lake male was arrested a short time later and is charged with assault; mis-chief under $5000; and failing to comply with a probation order.

She is charged with two counts of breaching peace bond condi-tions and one count of uttering threats.

September 93:28 a.m. – Two males

were arrested as a result of a check by RCMP outside of the Eckville Tavern. Police were conducting a check on a vehicle with a stolen license plate when two males were discov-ered in an intoxicated state outside of the bar. When questioned, one male was found to have

an outstanding warrant out of Edmonton and was arrested at the scene. The second male provided a false identity and was arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer. His correct identity revealed that he had several outstanding warrants out of Medicine Hat.

September 1112:26 a.m. – A 35-year-old Sylvan Lake

male is facing a charge as a result of a check by RCMP. The male was witnessed by members possessing alcohol while

inside the Open Range Saloon. The male was under no alcohol conditions and was not to attend a licensed premise. He was formally charged with failing to comply with the conditions of an under-taking.

12:38 p.m. – RCMP were called to a single vehicle rollover on Range Road 10 at Highway 11A in Red Deer County. A 28-year-old female from Sylvan Lake advised that she drove into a rut on a gravel road and is believed to have over corrected causing the vehicle to roll over in the ditch. The female was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Alcohol was not a factor.

September 129:31 p.m. – A fight outside a residence on Laurel

Close in Sylvan Lake resulted in a charge being laid against a 32-year-old Sylvan Lake male. A 911 call was received of a group of people verbally and physically fighting resulting in minor injuries. Alcohol was a factor. One male was restrained by police from continuing to fight and was arrested for public intoxication. He was issued a $500 fine for participating in a fight in a public place. The other parties involved did not wish to provide statements nor proceed with any charges.

INSURANCERimbey public works employee Rob Habkirk was busy last week picking up branches that had crashed through-out town due to the heavy snow. TREENA MIELKE PHOTOS

A huge portion of this tree fell over and landed in a Rimbey yard last week after a huge amount of heavy, wet snow collected on its branches.

Heavy, wet snow causes branches and

trees to collapse in Rimbey

TREENA MIELKEBLACK PRESS

Mathew Torgerson had no idea that a disaster was about to be avert-ed when he got in his SUV and drove away last Monday morning.

When he returned home a mere 10 minutes later he discovered the huge maple tree in his front yard, its branches weighed down with heavy, wet snow, had crashed to the ground.

As he looked at the fallen tree, he was shocked to realize his car would have been crushed under the impact if it hadn’t been moved.

His wife Janine said it truly was a matter of timing.

“We were going to take the baby for a walk, but our baby was cranky, so we didn’t go. He took the SUV instead and he wasn’t even gone 10 minutes.”

In the space of that time, the tree succumbed to the huge weight of snow and fell over, towards the street.

“You could see the outline of where the SUV had been in the snow,” she said.

The fallen tree and another tree which could have been a potential danger have now been removed from

the couple’s yard.Janine is sorry to see the trees go,

though she realizes it is for the best.“My older daughter Alexis was

climbing that tree this summer.”The Torgerson’s tree was only one

of several trees that crashed in Rimbey last Monday due to the weight of the heavy, wet snow.

Public works foreman Rick Schmidt said several calls were made to public works by concerned citi-zens about broken branches and fallen trees.

“There were a dozen or so trees that fell,” he said. “We had call after call.”

Schmidt explained public works is required to look after trees on town property such as streets, parks and alleys, but property owners are responsible for their own trees.

“Property owners need to regu-larly maintain and trim their trees to help prevent them from becoming a serious hazard,” he said.

Public works crews were kept busy Monday cleaning up broken branches throughout town.

Schmidt has also booked a tree trimmer to deal with any trees on town property that need to be pruned.

Eckville residents voice opposition to frac sand

transloading facilitySTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Seats were hard to come by as Eckville residents flooded the Eckville Legion on Monday night to voice their opposition to a proposed temporary frac sand transloading facility on the south end of that town.

A Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) hearing on the facility’s application, submitted by Calgary-headquartered Source Energy Services, was attended by nearly 100 people, most seemingly against the move to allow for the facility’s construction.

Concerns with the proposed facil-ity were voiced by the application’s 15 appellants, and others who sup-ported them.

“Surely there would be other areas that are better,” said Karen Tubbs, one of the appellants. “Put it some-where else.”

Among the most common objec-tions raised to the proposed facility were concerns with frac sand’s carci-nogenic nature, increased traffic and noise, and abnormal working hours.

The Application for Development, which proposed the facility’s con-struction on Station Grounds south of 50th Ave, was approved by the Town’s Municipal Planning Commission on July 29, subject to a number of conditions. Those includ-ed the provision of correspondence from Alberta Transportation with respect to increased traffic to and from the site, the construction of a six-foot chain link fence, and the implementation of an air quality monitoring reporting program, dust control measures and an emergency response plan.

The permit was approved until March 2016.

In her appeal, adjacent landowner Lana Judson voiced worries that the facility would affect her “use, enjoy-ment and value” of her Eckville property.

“We enjoy living in the Town of Eckville with the ability to enjoy our quiet backyard and have our win-dows open at any time. We don’t want to have to worry about having a dangerous good being loaded onto trucks within 36 feet from our prop-erty line,” she said.

Meg Callan questioned why Source had been allowed to carry out construction activity on the site without receiving final approval for the development. Development offi-cer and Town chief administrative officer Jack Ramsden replied that any such activity was done at the

applicant’s own risk.“If they don’t get approval, they’re

out their investment,” he said.Gary Peterson felt that the more

money and time that was being invested in the site, the less likely the applicant would be to accept a change in decision.

Evan Dixon, acting as counsel for Source Energy, offered a number of rebuttals in response to concerns raised at the hearing.

He noted that Source’s frac sand is natural and not chemically treated, and that it was similar in nature to that which may be found in a chil-dren’s playground.

He also noted that many of the appellants’ concerns were addressed in the planning commission’s terms of approval, which, he said, Source Energy was committed to fulfilling.

He reminded the SDAB that the permit is temporary, and said he would not expect it to be extended if the facility proved to be a negative impact on the town.

Source, he said, has been a “good neighbour” in other municipalities where it has a presence. In Eckville, he assured, there would be no excep-tion.

“Source intends to operate the facility in a manner that ensures the safety and health of the residents of the Town of Eckville, and in a man-ner that reduces the traffic and noise affecting the residents ... to the extent possible,” he wrote in a letter to the board.

The board had 15 days from the time of the hearing in which to make a decision on the matter, which it will present in writing.

Appellant Janeil Humphrey said she hoped board members will make good use of that time to investigate the validity of the conditions pre-sented.

“Some of it might not even be possible,” she said.

“We enjoy living in the Town of Eckville with

the ability to enjoy our quiet backyard and

have our windows open at any time. We don’t want to have to worry

about having a dangerous good being

loaded onto trucks within 36 feet from our

property line,”LANA JUDSON, LANDOWNER

Rocky Mountain House man charged following

daylong crime spreeSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A daylong crime spree in Sylvan Lake and Blackfalds areas last week has netted a number of charges against a 29-year-old Rocky Mountain House man.

At 7:15 a.m. on Sept. 11, Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a report of a stolen black Kia motor vehicle from Hewlett Park in Sylvan Lake. The car was left unattended while warming up outside its owner’s residence.

RCMP received a complaint a cou-ple of hours later of an unknown male found in the basement living room of a rural residence west of town. The intruder was confronted by the home-owner, and asked to return items he was suspected of stealing.

Police say the man became nervous during the encounter, and attempted to flee, only to be restrained by the homeowner. He eventually broke free and fled. The homeown-er noted that the suspect drove away in a black Kia — the same one police say had earlier been reported stolen from Hewlett Park.

The vehicle was found abandoned not far from the rural resi-dence. The suspect was determined to have then stolen a truck. Police eventually learned that that vehicle had also been abandoned, and that a newer truck had been taken.

Later in the day, Blackfalds RCMP were advised of a truck that had been left at the Burnt Lake Stables. A truck had been gone through by a man who took $50 from it. The culprit was observed leaving the scene on foot.

Blackfalds RCMP responded to an alarm going off at a rural resi-dence just after 2 p.m. A neighbour told police he observed a darkly-clothed male leaving the residence on a black quad and equipped with a rifle. The male was fol-lowed by the neighbour along Range Road 283, before the quad disap-peared east into a field.

The area was attend-ed by Blackfalds, Innisfail and Innisfail Freeway RCMP, who were unable to find the quad, despite carrying out extensive searches of rural properties.

Blackfalds RCMP

then received information that the suspect had been seen heading west from Range Road 283 on Township Road 374.

RCMP made patrols of the area, and spoke to one rural property owner who advised that he’d seen a male on a quad in his field. Further patrols of the area were made, and Blackfalds RCMP eventually located the suspect, still on the quad, at a nearby rural property.

Without incident, he was taken into custody, ending what police called a “long, crime-filled day.”

Following the suspect’s arrest, police found a rifle and a shotgun on the quad.

Tyler Joseph Shaw, 29, of Rocky Mountain House, appeared in Red Deer provincial court on Monday, and is facing 14 charges in total, which include three counts of break and enter, one count of possession of sto-len property, four counts of theft, and five weapons-related charges.

Stolen credit/debit machine may be first step in card skimming scam

SUBMITTEDSPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

On September 12, Red Deer RCMP received a report that a handheld, wireless point of sale machine had been stolen from the Mr. Mike’s res-taurant located at 6701 50 Avenue in Red Deer.

While this is an inconvenience and cost to the restaurant, of larger concern to RCMP is the pos-sible purpose to which the stolen machine may be put.

While the theft may have been a prank, it’s also possible that the machine was stolen in order to insert a magnetic skimmer that streams clients’ banking information to scammers. If that is the case, those who stole the point of sale machine may be looking for an opportunity to place the altered point of sale machine in another business. The stolen machine was an Ingenico 8200, serial #MONW82V306636469.

Just last month, an alert customer noticed that the wireless point of sale machine in a different Red Deer restaurant had been tampered with. That observation saved countless Red Deerians

from becoming the victims of scam-mers; the RCMP investigation revealed scammers had surrepti-tiously replaced one of the business’s point of sale machine with another machine that was set up to steal vic-tims’ banking information. In that case, the customer noticed that his card did not fit smoothly into the machine, and observed a magnetic strip that had been inserted in the card reader slot. The strip was not present on other machines.

RCMP wish to remind business owners not to let wireless point of sale (debit and credit) machines out of their sight. It only takes a moment for scammers to switch the machine for one that contains a magnetic

skimmer; the skimmer then streams clients’ banking information and PINs to the scammers’ device. Businesses are advised to check their point of sale machines regularly, looking for wires, loose pieces or other evidence the machine has been tampered with. If you suspect your machine has been tampered with, please notify the RCMP immediate-ly.

Anyone with information that may assist the police in identifying the suspect(s) responsible for this crime is asked to call Red Deer RCMP at 403.343.5575. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.

Time to take action against vandalism

Dear Editor,Eckville elementary and high schools are van-

dalized at least once a year, each. Enough already. A camera system installed is an easy fix and not that hard to install with a little know-how.

Each school having cameras is only the right thing to do. Wildlife is abundant in the area, and there is no fence around the schools. Having eight to 12 cameras per school I’m sure would suffice, and should not cost thousands of dollars. Even better, have the students set up a fundraiser, so they too are pitching in to save the schools.

Eighty-room affordable seniors’

complex planned for Rimbey

TREENA MIELKEBLACK PRESS

After several months of behind-the-scene discussions, Rimoka Housing Foundation has announced plans to construct an 80-room $15.5 million affordable seniors’ complex in Rimbey.

Work on the proposed complex to be built on 8.54 acres of land pur-chased by Ponoka County for $310,000 south of the Best Western Rimstone Ridge Hotel is slated to begin next spring.

Board chairman Paul McLauchlin is pleased the project is moving ahead and happy the Foundation has opted for a large facility that will contain 80 rooms.

“In a town this size and a region of our size an 80-room facility will be a big benefit. It will be a regional hub for sure. I’m very excited.”

McLauchlin said the Foundation plans to contribute $3.5 million to the project.

“That is approximately a twenty per cent contribution,” he said.

The remainder of the project costs come from a $13.3 million grant made available through the provincial and federal governments.

Approximately $12 million of the grant has been earmarked for the new facility and the remainder of the funds will be used for remedial work to Parkland Manor.

McLauchlin said endorsement of the debt by partner municipalities including the Town of Rimbey, Ponoka County and the Town of Ponoka has been requested by the minister.

While the board is still waiting for this endorsement, McLauchlin said he is confident the Foundation can handle the debt load and doesn’t foresee any roadblocks.

“The partnership between the Ministry, the federal government, our CAO, the board and the Town of Rimbey on this project is a great example of partnership and collabo-ration that exemplifies how we get things done in our part of the prov-ince.”

Wakesurfer Vasselin to compete among world’s bestSTUART FULLARTON

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

To say Julie Vasselin’s first year of competitive wakesurfing has gone well would be a colossal understatement, as the 23-year-old Sylvan Laker prepares to com-pete among the world’s best at the World Wakesuring Champ-ionships in Lake Las Vegas next week.

Surfers qualified for the event through com-petitions all around the world. Vasselin herself will be competing as a result of solid showings at competitions around the United States this summer, which includ-ed fourth-place finishes in Georgia and Texas, and a second-place fin-ish in Minnesota.

Competing against some of the world’s top

surfers, she admits placing will be an immense challenge for her. But it’s one she’s relishing, along with the opportunity to compete at the highest level of a sport she truly loves.

“I didn’t get involved in competing just for the reward of placing,” she said.

Rather, her involve-ment in the sport — in which surfers ride a wave created by a boat — began three years ago during a lake out-ing with friends and family.

After that, she quickly became hooked.

“I went behind a family friend’s boat, and they just put me on a surfboard and said have fun,” she said. “From there, I was hooked.”

Since then, she’s been “practicing like crazy” on Sylvan Lake, and on other water bodies around the con-tinent when tempera-tures begin to cool locally — all in the midst of studying for,

and writing, her char-tered accountancy exams.

“This summer, I had a lot of practice time, so I tried to practice as much as I could here, and when the weather wasn’t good in Sylvan, I would either head down to Koocanusa or Chestermere,” she said. “People in Florida, they can surf year round and they don’t know what snow is, but ... our sea-son isn’t really consid-ered a year.”

Surfers at the World Championships are given two minutes to prove their ability. They’re judged on the intensity of their ride, as well as the difficulty and variety of tricks they perform — which may include everything from 360-degree spins to riding the board switch, or in reverse.

Vasselin is planning on arriving in Las Vegas a few days early to get a feel for the wave she’ll be riding. And regardless of how she fares in the competi-tion, she’s happy to continue doing what

1-800-222-TIPS(1-800-222-8477)

We want your INFO......NOT your name

she loves, and is even planning on offering lessons in Sylvan Lake

next summer.“It’s taken a lot of

wok to become good at

it, but I just enjoy it,” she said. “I find it relax-ing, and I find it stress-

free. It’s just fun and it’s something that any-body can do.”

Miss Mermaid will set sail on Gull Lake waters next summerLANA MICHELIN

RED DEER ADVOCATE

The Mermaid will churn the waters again next summer — only this time on Gull Lake.

The large, paddlewheel-style boat that’s been part of Sylvan Lake’s history for the past 30 years is being trans-ported to Gull Lake by its new owner.

Red Deer resident Mark Linton said he saw the familiar red-and-white vessel sitting in dry dock for sale and some-thing about it tweaked his nostalgic interest.

“It’s been around as long as I can remember,” said Linton, who remembers the 14-foot-wide-by-48-feet-long boat being a fixture of Sylvan Lake since his youth in the early 1980s. “That’s why I decided to buy the boat, I wanted to preserve it,” said Linton, who paid $60,000 for it.

“I’m also a real Disney fan,” he added, referring to the Mark Twain paddle-wheel steamship that’s a feature attrac-

tion at Disneyland.Linton’s wife convinced him to take his first Disney

holiday while he was recovering from cancer treatments. Even though his cancer has been in remission for the past six years, he and his family have been back to the feel-good theme park multiple times since.

The owner of the DJ company On the Mark sees a kind of crossover appeal in running a dinner/dance boat on Gull Lake as well. “This will give me something to do seven days a week,” during summer months, said Linton, who’s already planning theme trips such as ice cream sundaes and pirate cruises.

He intends to renovate the boat’s interior this fall to wood panelling from its current carpeted pink and sea-foam green “’80s look.”

The new venture is a family affair, said Linton, who added his 10- and 13-year-old sons will be involved as hors d’oeuvres servers on the gas-powered vessel, and his wife will make a few appearances.

Linton will also train a few more people to captain the large boat with its open second-storey deck.

While the family has a summer place on Gull Lake, Linton saw no choice but to move the The Mermaid up to Parkland Beach on the north side of the lake. With changes made to the Sylvan Lake marina, there’s no easy-access docking for a boat as large as The Mermaid, he said, noting Sylvan Lake’s other tourist boat, The Zoo Cruise, is also for sale for the same reason.

Linton plans to see how much interest there is in cruises and wedding receptions on the vessel before investing in a second boat. But he believes tourism in the Gull Lake “was four times busier this summer from last year,” and will only get busier.

So far, a Facebook/mermaidcruises page he started has been getting a lot of hits.

Linton said there’s nothing like seeing a large red-and-white paddlewheeler on the lake to draw public interest — the boat really becomes its own floating billboard.

Miss Mermaid is hauled east on Hwy 11 from Sylvan Lake to a place south of Red Deer for repairs recently. Along the way the journey was interrupted when a wheel bearing on the trailer failed.

Through the program, health profession-als contact Albertans who may have sus-tained a bone break as a result of osteoporo-sis, a disease that causes bones to be thin and brittle. These breaks, called fragility fractures, are often the first warning sign for osteoporo-sis.

If osteoporosis is suspected, these indi-viduals are mailed information about the disease, including the risk factors and how to use calcium, vitamin D and exercise to strengthen bones. Notification and informa-tion about treatments for osteoporosis are also sent to their family doctors.

More than 1,500 Albertans have been con-tacted since the program launched in AHS’ Edmonton Zone in June, and nearly 900 of those individuals have been identified high risk for osteoporosis. The program will be introduced in the Calgary Zone this fall, and rolled out provincewide by early next year.

“Catch a Break is about making sure a patient’s first fragility fracture is their last,” said Mel Slomp, Executive Director of AHS’ Bone and Joint Health Strategic Clinical Network, which developed the program in

conjunction with the Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institute.

“By identifying that first break and treat-ing osteoporosis early, we will significantly

reduce the chance of a second, more serious fragility fracture, like a hip fracture.”

Every year, more than 2,400 Albertans — most of them elderly — fracture their hip.

Almost all have osteoporosis and most are unaware they have it. As many as one in five people diagnosed with a fragil-ity fracture will have another fracture within 12 months.

In Canada, fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke and breast cancer combined. Statistics from Osteoporosis Canada show more than 80 per cent of all fractures in people 50 and older are caused by fragile bones, yet fewer than 20 per cent of fracture patients under-go diagnosis or adequate treat-ment for osteoporosis.

Catch a Break aims to close this gap.“A key part of the program is the connec-

tion to family doctors,” said Slomp. “They receive an information package as well as details about the program, information about osteoporosis and diagnosis and treatment guidelines to prevent the disease from pro-gressing.”

Catch a Break is operated by AHS staff through Health Link Alberta, Alberta’s 24-hour health information and advice line, who use data from emergency departments and cast clinics across the province to identify Albertans who may have suffered a fragility fracture.

“When we contact the patients, we ask for information about how the fracture occurred,” said Lara Osterreicher, Director of Operations for Health Link Alberta. “If we suspect a fra-gility fracture, we invite the patient to join the Catch a Break program.”

Edward Kohel was recently invited to join the Catch a Break program after sustaining a cracked wrist caused by a slip on the ice last winter.

“When it comes down to patient care, this program is great,” said the 61-year-old St. Albert resident. “I was really impressed the followup was made. So much thought and care went into it.”

He says he never would have thought about his bones being weak but is now book-ing an appointment with his doctor to get screened for osteoporosis.

The Bone and Joint Health Strategic Clinical Network is one of 10 SCNs operating within AHS. SCNs bring together people who are passionate and knowledgeable about spe-cific areas of health, challenging them to find new and innovative ways of delivering care that will provide better quality, better out-comes and better value for every Albertan.

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Presentation - Amber Marshall receiving her belt buckle from Rainy Creek Ranch Wranglers.

Starstruck - Amber Marshall, who plays Amy on the hit TV series Heartland, stopped by Rainy Creek Ranch last weekend to drop off Memphis — her Miniature Jersey Steer. She took time to sign autographs, and was inducted into the Rainy Creek Ranch Wrangler group with an official belt buckle presentation. She then headed off to the Canadian Country Music Awards to present awards. The Rainy Creek Wranglers were simply star struck. Her baby steer Memphis has a new home at Rainy Creek Ranch and is already a celebrity with thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram. Here, pictured with Marshall and Memphis (far right), are Emma Bergstrom, Julia Lowes, Nika Paziuk, Cloe Lowes, Brooklynn Pollitt, Nadja Bergstrom, Hailey Pollitt and Dawson Pollitt.

Staff at Sylvan Lake seniors care centre join AUPESUBMITTED


The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees welcomed approximately 80 nursing staff at the Bethany Care Society seniors’ community in Sylvan Lake to the growing list of seniors care employees represented by AUPE.

The new members joined AUPE on Sept. 8 following a worksite vote.

“Our numbers keep growing as more and more Bethany

employees are insisting their employer listens to front line health workers,” said AUPE Vice President Carrie-Lynn Rusznak. “Bethany Care Society is one of western Canada’s largest seniors care providers, but their compensation and working conditions are not on par with industry stan-dards.”

AUPE already represents approximately 900 Bethany staff at the five other continuing care centres operated by the society in central and southern Alberta. Bargaining for new collective agreements at the other sites began in June. The new AUPE members at the Sylvan Lake site will now join those negotiations.

“Our goal is to negotiate a standardized collective agreement that recognizes that Bethany employees are not worth less,” said Rusznak.

Bethany Sylvan Lake provides services for persons with complex health needs who are unable to remain at home in a continuing care centre in Sylvan Lake, approximately 20 km east of Red Deer.

AUPE is Alberta’s largest union, with nearly 85,000 members. AUPE represents more than 47,000 Albertans who work in public, not-for-profit, and private health care across the province.

Community - Mayor Sean McIntyre chats with town residents while manning the bar-becue at the Family and Community Information Fair at the Community Centre last Thursday. Through the information fair, Sylvan Lakers were given the chance to learn about, and sign up for, local community organizations, service clubs and volunteer opportunities. The barbecue, held on site, was hosted by McIntyre along with the rest of town council.

Chinook’s Edge teacher from Sylvan Lake chosen for project in AfricaSUBMITTED


Leah Rawlings, a music teacher at École Steffie Woima Elementary School, was one of only 10 Alberta teachers chosen to participate in a summer professional development proj-ect overseas.

Rawlings’ group was posted to Ghana, West Africa. They partnered with the Ghana National Association of Teachers to facilitate a New Entrants Program, where both Canadian and Ghanian teammates worked as co-tutors.

The four-week program is a joint under-taking between the Canadian Teachers’ Federation and its member organizations — in Rawlings’ case, the Alberta Teachers’ Association. The ‘Project Overseas’ program

has been operating for over 50 years in an effort to strengthen public education in devel-oping countries. In July, 50 teachers from across the country volunteered their time to work with Project Overseas in Africa and the Caribbean.

“Our focus was to work with new teachers, supporting them with knowledge and tools to carry forward with the great work their teach-ers’ association is already doing,” said Rawlings, who has also spent two years over-seas working in the Czech Republic. “The teachers we met are incredibly passionate about their work, but they have significant obstacles to overcome just to provide the basics. Some of them work in open-air struc-tures without electricity, or they work without plumbing and supplies. Sometimes they are

placed in villages where they don’t even speak the language, or where they have to walk — or even canoe — a long distance just to get to the school. But despite the many challenges, they are determined to raise leaders among their young teachers and they were so grateful for our involvement.”

Rawlings has been involved in the Chinook’s Edge teacher mentorship program for three years and was able to share many of the activities, workshops and discussion top-ics from the division’s extensive database. Her experience, along with the strong professional development tools at her disposal, also helped her during the initial 12-page application pro-cess.

“There were 13 teams working in 11 differ-ent countries with Project Overseas this year.

I really felt that I could have an impact with the new teacher mentorship project, especially since I was able to access Chinook’s Edge’s exper-tise around mentorship,” said Rawlings. “Some of the things we discussed are groundbreaking for them, and I feel we set some strong practices in place that will support teachers. We discussed everything from man-agement skills to coop-erative learning strate-gies — and provided tools for them to take to their classrooms straightaway.

“Everyone we met has a huge passion for education and for bring-ing forward information that will help make some of the changes they are wanting for their country’s young people. People often return from an experi-ence like this saying they received more from it than they gave, and that is exactly how I feel. Seeing the kids in school — the smiling, welcom-ing, joyful kids — made everything worthwhile. This was an incredibly enriching experience and I would do it again in a minute.”

Major renovations underway at

Bentley SchoolTREENA MIELKE

BLACK PRESS

Major renovations are happening at Bentley Schools and students can look forward to a fresh new look in keeping with the many educational opportunities offered at both the elementary and the high school.

“It is going to be another great year and every-thing has started up smoothly,” said principal Lane Moore.

“We are opening up classrooms, creating a student common and relocating our library all of which support our personalized blended learning environment and PRIDE (partnership, respect, integrity, dedication and excellence) motto,” said Moore.

The facelift also includes the repainting of the elementary school. Logos are also being replaced.

Moore commended his teaching staff for their patience and commitment while the renovations are ongoing.

“They are an amazing group who put in count-less hours for our students,” he said.

The hockey academy is going strong with 50 students from Grades 1 to 9 in the program.

The Bentley School will continue its partner-ship with Rimbey Junior/Senior High School this year.

“We send a bus twice a week (to Rimbey) for students to access the woods, metal fabrication and foods courses,” said Moore.

A breakfast, barbecue and the annual Terry Fox run will be held at the school on Sept. 19 to wrap up the welcome back week.

Farm Credit Canada Ag Safety Fund to soon accept applicationsSUBMITTED


The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) is pleased to be partnering once again with Farm Credit Canada to announce the call for applications to the 2015-2016 FCC Ag Safety Fund.

The Fund, now in its fifth year, has provided over $400,000 to charitable and non-profit organizations to deliver farm safety training programs in their communities or within the agricultural sector. This year, $100,000 will be awarded to suc-cessful applicants.

“FCC supports projects and initiatives that make positive changes in the communities where our cus-tomers live and work across Canada,” said Sophie Perreault, FCC Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “By raising awareness through ongoing safety education and training, we are help-ing producers effectively manage those risks in their operations.”

The 2015-2016 FCC Ag Safety Fund will focus on offering grants to organizations that will deliver trac-tor and machinery safety training in a community setting to Canadian farmers and farm workers. According to Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) data, between 1990 and 2008, 70 per cent of

agricultural fatalities in Canada were related to machinery, 46 per cent were caused by roll-overs, runovers and entangle-ments.

Marcel Hacault is the Executive Director of CASA “The shift in focus of the FCC Ag Safety Fund is to address the reality that the majority of farm fatalities are related to equipment. The FCC Ag Safety Fund is an excellent opportunity to provide more machinery-related training which we hope will lead to fewer farm injuries and

fatalities. Because of our partner-ship with FCC, CASA has been able to offer a variety of initia-tives, including the FCC Ag Safety Fund and Back to Ag.”

Earlier this year, FCC donated $100,000 to the Back to Ag pro-gram aimed at helping farmers and agricultural workers return to work after a life-altering injury.

The donation was a result of a social media campaign done in partnership with the Rick Hansen Foundation and CASA, which is responsible for managing the Back to Ag program.

STEFANIE KLETKETROY MEDIA

Alberta relies on water like no other province in the country. In fact, Alberta’s water use accounts for two-thirds of Canada’s entire use, and our agri-cultural products – which account for 60 to 70 per cent of Alberta’s water use – make up one-third of the country’s agricultural exports. Fully half of the province’s gross domestic product (GDP) is predi-cated on water availability. To minimize the risk attached to such water dependency, important work is quietly underway to help Alberta plan for

future uncertainties. Tucked away in a small cubicle in the University

of Alberta (UofA) Biological Sciences building, down a hallway guarded by a tank of exotic fish, is an unassuming supercomputer running a pro-gram called SWAT (Soil & Water Assessment Tool). Protected by its handwritten “Please do not turn off ” sign, the supercomputer is creating hun-dreds of millions of simulations of Alberta’s river basins, attempting to create a computer model that mirrors exactly where and how much water we have had in the past 30 years, before moving on to predict our water future. These simulations require constant tweaking by the UofA Water

OPINION

Initiative’s Dr. Monireh Faramarzi, amounting to a year-long process and the first step in a three-year, $1-million project begun in January of this year.

The project, entitled Predicting Alberta’s Water Future (PAWF), is supported by Alberta Innovates - Energy and Environment Solutions (AI-EES), and is a continuation of a previous AI-EES three-year project entitled Dynamics of Alberta’s Water Resources. Dr. Faramarzi is lead investigator and the UofA’s Dr. Greg Goss is project leader of PAWF’s multidisciplinary team, comprised of climate change and SWAT model experts from around the world. The team’s work will help Albertans to effectively manage their most pre-cious resource by providing reliable predictions of both the supply and demand over the next 50 years. It does so by taking into account not only the normal regional differences and seasonal fluctuation of our water resources, but also the ever-looming forces of climate change and global warming.

But first, the team must patiently wait for the supercomputer to com-pute and visualize vast amounts of data that address not only Alberta’s past water levels and weather reports, but also anything else that may have affected either of those things, such as glacier melt, the type of soil close to a river, or when and how much water was used for crop irrigation. Once the resulting simulations can make “predictions” for the past that match the historical data, the com-puter model can be trusted to reli-ably predict for the future.

Then, the PAWF team will be able to use the computer model to see just how much water will both be avail-able and used in the next 50 years.

This picture of Alberta’s water future will be further enhanced by combin-ing it with the team’s findings on the expected future water demand in Alberta’s five major sectors, being energy, environment, industry, municipal and agriculture.

By weaving together these seem-ingly separate but rather intercon-nected pieces of the puzzle, the PAWF team will be able to identify regions and sectors in Alberta that are most at risk in their water needs, based on any mismatches between the predictions on water supply and the expected water demand accord-ing to the five major sectors’ plans.

The team hopes to translate those results into tools such as an interac-tive online map that will both inform and help the province produce a set of scientifically-based water man-agement options for Alberta to maintain a safe and secure drinking water supply, healthy aquatic ecosys-tems, and reliable quality water sup-plies for a sustainable economy – regardless of whether the province is in a water surplus or scarcity. In other words, PAWF’s predictive models will help Alberta’s water resource managers, policy makers and the public prepare for any situa-tion that may come our way.

Regions of Alberta have already experienced times of water scarcity. As the province, country and world plan for increased pressure on our water resources as a result of popula-tion growth, economic development and climate change, such tools are needed now.

Stefanie Kletke is a research assis-tant at the University of Alberta Water Initiative.
