think about attending, but I did. And there I was freezing, snapping pictures and, weirdly enough, feeling all warm and happy. I’m sure it had to do with all the people who were walking up to my brother, who is a Korean War vet, and shaking his hand and saying thank you. It was incredible, really, and it goes to show you that a person can feel proud, humble and slightly surprised all at once. That was me, not my brother, whose smile was brighter than all his medals, so I’m guessing he was more than pleased with all the attention. And then there was the baptism of my youngest grandson, Jacob. When his mom handed the child, dressed in his little white christening outfit, to me after the event, I knew,

without a shadow of a doubt, I would have braved 100 snowstorms just to be there. As it was, there was only one, and as I was driving through it, I kept muttering to myself “I’ve driven in worse than this,” which I have, but for some reason, that thought didn’t seem all that comforting. Anyway, it’s only just November and we have a long, long way to go before the time changes and the sun is, once again, benevolent, and the grass grows green and people sit on their decks and are all happy just because. So, until that time, it’s best to find those moments, whatever they be, that keep you warm and happy, even when the thermometer goes a little crazy and registers some off-the-wall number that is far too cold to even write about.

Bill C-13 will undermine our privacy Dear Editor, Anyone who thinks Bill C-13 is about cyber bullying needs to read the darn thing, start to finish. Once I did that, I found myself asking, why is the government trying to ram this bill through in such a hurry? We’re in no more real danger today than we were yesterday, or two months ago, or two years ago. Using the one-off actions of unstable individuals to further this kind of agenda is contemptible, and this legislation goes so far over the top, it’s practically made-in-America. I’ve always thought we were a bit better than that. Take the time to get it right, and don’t try to hide it from Canadians. Doing so only makes it look like you think you have something that needs hiding. Frankly, I do not want my government spying on it’s own citizens. When the authorities deem they require such action, it should be all above board, under the oversight of an independent

body, with a warrant required, with complete transparency after the fact, and subject to severe penalty, including jail time, if it is found to have exceeded reasonable boundaries. If that’s too difficult for our current law enforcement agencies, then perhaps they should spend some time going back to the old school, learning how to do things the old-fashioned way. Just because the technology exists to make surveillance ridiculously easy compared to what it used to be, doesn’t mean it should be made easy. Mr. Earl Dreeshen needs to think long and hard before he decides to put his name behind this bill as it is currently written. It’s the sort of thing the folks over at OurPrivacy.ca will take note of. I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to safeguard our privacy at OurPrivacy. ca. Dallen Wilson, Red Deer

The Giving Tree returns to Sylvan Lake STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Members of the community are being given the opportunity to make Christmas a little bit extra special for residents of Bethany Sylvan Lake. The Giving Tree is now up at the Sylvan Lake Value Drug Mart and bears 61 decorative gift tags — each one listing items sought by a resident of the care centre. Shoppers are encouraged to take one of the tags and purchase the ‘wish list’ items marked on it, before dropping them off at Bethany. This year marks the fourth year the tree has been put up, and each year it proves vastly popular among generous Sylvan Lake residents, said Eileen Dudman of Friends of Bethany, the volunteer group that oversees the initiative. “Our idea is to give the community an opportunity to become involved in our seniors’ lives at Christmas time,” she said. “That’s why we call it the Giving Tree.” As well as volunteering with Friends of Bethany, Dudman also works at Bethany, and often works Christmas morning. That gives her a chance to witness firsthand the joy of residents as they open their community-provided gifts. “Their response is wonderful,” she said. “I wish we could all be there to see it.” Volunteer Connie Cartwright said feedback from the community has been similarly positive, with many people frequently asking her throughout the year when the tree will return. She’s hoping all of the tags will be gone DO YOUR PART

before the mid-December deadline, a feat that was accomplished for the first time last year. Gifts listed on the tags cost between $15 and $20, and must be brought to Bethany (4700 47 Ave.) during business hours before Dec. 12. They must also be unwrapped and be accompanied by the gift tag from the tree. But that’s not the only way members of the community can get involved. Friends of Bethany are asking people to consider gifting their time to residents of the care centre by simply visiting with them, helping with recreational activities and special events or providing entertainment. Information on volunteering is available by contacting Bethany volunteer co-ordinator Sheila Klein at 403-887-7741.

Friends of Bethany’s Eileen Dudman and Connie Cartwright were among the volunteers who decorated the Giving Tree inside Value Drug Mart last week. STUART FULLARTON

RCMP NOTES

Woman arrested after being found with stolen truck November 8 11:50 a.m. – RCMP were called to a disturbance at the Comfort Inn and Suites Hotel on Industrial Drive in Sylvan Lake. An intoxicated male was reportedly yelling and cursing in the stairwell of the hotel, creating a safety concern for hotel staff. A 29-year-old male was arrested for breach of the peace and being intoxicated in public. He was transported to cells until sober. 1:57 p.m. – A 44-year-old Sylvan Lake male is facing more charges after breaching conditions of a recognizance in relation to a previous robbery incident. The male was observed by RCMP attending a local liquor store on 46th Street in Sylvan Lake and was confirmed to have purchased alcohol, which were violations of his conditional release.

As a result, he was arrested at the scene. He is charged with two counts of failing to comply with conditions of a recognizance and theft under $5,000 in relation to a subsequent shoplifting incident at the liquor store. November 10 10:02 a.m. – Charges have been laid against a 21-year-old female in relation to the theft of a truck out of Rocky Mountain House. A male reported to RCMP that his truck was stolen from outside his residence. The male told police that a female temporarily residing at his residence was also missing. The male later tracked the female to a residence in Sylvan Lake where he located his truck and contacted police. The female, a resident of High Prairie, is formally charged with possession of property obtained by

crime over $5,000. November 12 2:38 p.m. – An investigation is underway into the theft of gas at the Fas Gas on 50th Street in Sylvan Lake. Staff at the gas station reported that the driver of a truck left heading south toward Highway 11 after fuelling up without paying. 7:22 p.m. – RCMP were called to attend a single vehicle collision off Highway 11 at Range Road 10 in Sylvan Lake. A witness reported that a vehicle being driven by a female veered off into the ditch. EMS attended and the female was transported to hospital as a precaution as she was exhibiting signs of possible drug intoxication. The 22-year-old Sylvan Lake female was issued a 24-hour suspension. She is also charged with driving carelessly and transporting liquor in an open con-

tainer. Her vehicle was towed at the scene. November 14 5:46 a.m. – A 26-year-old male reported that his truck was stolen from his residence in Bentley. The owner advised that a set of spare keys were left inside the vehicle along with his passport. The vehicle was later recovered by RCMP in Three Hills, Alberta. Fortunately, the passport was also located and returned to the owner. 7:29 a.m. – RCMP received a report of a break and enter at the Kuusamo Industrial Park on Range Road 22 at Highway 11. Entry was gained by cutting a lock on the gate. The suspects went through all of the vehicles although it was not clear if anything of value was stolen. An investigation is continuing.

Equine assisted therapy program returning in January STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

An equine assisted therapy program is set to return to Rainy Creek Ranch in January to provide weekly horse riding clinics for disabled youth and adults. Clinics will focus on helping individuals with a variety of physical and emotional impairments, through both riding- and ground-based individually-built programs. The benefits of the program are bountiful, according to Rainy Creek Ranch owner and program head instructor Sandra McLeod. “There’s a huge amount of research out there that shows that horses improve all different facets of learning, and our program focuses on quite a few of the different areas that these people really need help in to succeed,” she said. “Horses are so honest in what they portray to an individual — the feedback is immediate by a horse.” Individuals with autism or social and behavioural problems are among those most suited to the program, said McLeod. But it’s open to, and will benefit, people with nearly any type of disability, she added. “The benefits are huge, especially physically and emotionally,” she said. “We build it around the individual: Some individuals do not want to get on the horse, and that’s fine. We can design their program to be on the ground with the horse. Some individuals want to get on the horse, and so our program would facilitate them riding.” In a learning-based environment, participants

are taught how to work with horses, and in turn learn valuable skills that will benefit them in both their future careers and lives in general, according to McLeod. The program has been run by Rainy Creek in the past, but funding proved something of a barrier for some prospective participants, she said. The creation of new avenues of funding, however, has made it more accessible now than it’s ever been, and will help to ensure the program’s longevity, McLeod hopes. “The research shows that (the program) needs to continue, absolutely,” she said. “There are a bunch of people pulling together this time to make sure that it continues to run.” Central Alberta Special Equestrians (CASE) previously ran the program, but now, along with corporate sponsors and donations, acts as a source of funding for the program at Rainy Creek Ranch. “The program is a collaborative effort of funding groups, professionals and corporations with big hearts,” said McLeod. Its instructors are fully qualified in a number of areas, including therapeutic equestrian and fitness rehabilitation, among others. Beginning Jan. 9, adult classes will take place Friday mornings, with youth classes to follow in the afternoon. Information on how to register and securing funding for the program is available by contacting McLeod at mcleodbs@xplornet.com. Details are also posted on the Rainy Creek Ranch website at www.rainycreekranch.com.

Preparations underway for youth ‘voluntour’ trip to Ecuador STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Preparations are underway for a once-in-a-lifetime ‘voluntour’ trip that will see a group of Sylvan Lake youths spend two weeks in Ecuador in April 2016. While there, members of the travelling group will divide their time between sightseeing and volunteering with a service learning project — the latter of which could include anything from helping build a school or medical clinic to digging a well or planting a garden. It’s the second time high school teacher Kelsey Wilson has organized such a trip, having taken a group of youths to Kenya for a similar ‘voluntour’ experience last year. She wants the community to know the value of the experience for both the travellers and the locals who benefit from their volunteer work. “Travel is one of the best educators, and (students) can experience the world from a different perspective,” she said. “They’re not going to be staying in a hotel; they’re going to be staying exactly in that area and helping out and learning what it means to give back to a community.” As an avid-traveller, Wilson feels the best way to experience the world involves not just sightseeing and exploring, but also giving back in some way. That’s the message she wants students to take away from their Ecuador visit. “I love the idea of not only going, but also helping,” she said. “And while it’s service learning to help that part of the world, we’re going to go the the Galapagos and swim with the sea lions and experience that as well.” The trip is being offered to Sylvan Lake youths

between the ages of 14 and 18, as well as any parents who wish to accompany them. Fundraising for the trip has already begun, with various campaigns currently

Healthy learning

underway. Wilson is hoping the community will support the travelling group’s fundraising initiatives. Information on how to do so, as well as information about the trip’s first

organizing meeting, is available by contacting Wilson at 403-848-2468, or at kb.wilson@live.ca. A discount will be offered for registrations received before the end of the November, she said.

- Children and their parents learned about healthy eating before testing their newly acquired cooking skills at Community Partners last Wednesday.

IT’S AMAZING It’s amazing how often God gives me opportunity to put into practice the stuff that I preach. Last week I was preaching from Romans 12 where it says don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. That very night someone stole my wallet out of my truck and proceeded to go on a bit of a spending spree. Fortunately we caught it mid-morning and were able to take the necessary action. But I have to admit that overcoming this evil with good wasn’t where my thoughts were at until God brought me up short and reminded me of the sermon. I haven’t had the opportunity to direct this approach at the perpetrator, but the evil in my heart was definitely overcome by God’s goodness. It got me thinking about what Paul means by overcome. Let me give you a picture that might help explain. Wendy and I were in Hawaii with her folks for their 25th Anniversary. We were sitting on a beach together and she went into the water to cool off. She wasn’t far off shore but was about chest deep as the bottom dropped away sharply. As she was enjoying the relaxing ebb and flow of the waves the water level dropped to her knees. Unfortunately she

didn’t realise what this event preceded, nor did she catch my shouting and pointing in warning till too late. A massive wave came out of “nowhere” and towered over her. She panicked eyes wide with sudden terror and tried to outrun the wave. You can imagine what happened: she was overcome by the wave. (By the way if this happens to your wife, for the love of Pete, don’t let her see you laughing when she crawls out of the foam gasping and sputtering, hair in her face and sand everywhere!) That’s the picture (the wave, not my poor wife) that Paul had in mind; an irresistible wave of love and mercy and grace overcoming everyone in its path. I’ve always read that Romans verse as pointing outward, that is, overcoming evil someone does to you. It is, but first the evil in me needs to be overcome. The first couple of verses of 1John 5 tell us that anyone born of God overcomes the world. Do you have some evil in your world that needs to be overcome? Maybe it’s time you sat down with God to truly understand what it means to be “born of God.” And when you do, expect the wave to hit you first. Submitted by Pastor David Berg, Benalto Baptist Church

Still time to make Movember contribution STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

We’re now more than halfway through November, which means our Sylvan Lake News team’s Movember campaign will soon be drawing to a close. Progress is now visible on the faces of each of our team members, who have been collecting donations both online and in person for the past three weeks. Of course, there’s still plenty of time to donate to the cause in support of men’s health initiatives, and to show you the importance of your donations, here are some stats provided by Movember Canada: • This year, more than 23,000 men in Canada will learn they have prostate cancer. • In Canada, men die by suicide at a rate more than three times higher than women.

• Approximately 40 per cent of Canadians will develop cancer at some point in their lives. • In 2013, more than 173,000 Canadian Movember participants raised close to $34 million. Prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health initiatives are the primary beneficiaries of Movember funds raised. But there’s much more to the campaign than raising money. Moustaches — particularly those grown by typically clean-shaven individuals — tend to create an interesting point of conversation, and in turn create a greater awareness of the Movember cause. In fact, the initiative began along those lines in 2003, when two friends in Australia challenged each other to a moustache growing

contest throughout the month of November. Inspired by a friend’s breast cancer fundraising initiative, the two decided their cause would focus on men’s health. Some of their original rules and guidelines still exist in Movember fundraising today, and it’s now up to us to keep the conversation going.

If you wish to support us and make a donation, head over to ca.movember. com, and search for the Sylvan Lake News team. Or, give us a shout at the office and find out other ways you can get involved. Thank you to everyone who has already donated! Happy Movember!

Online payment system to make life easier for parents and school staff STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A new online payment system is eliminating the need for coins and paper money in nearly all aspects of school life throughout Chinook’s Edge School Division. The division for the past two years has accepted school fee payments online, and is now expanding its online payment services to include field trips, lunches and other programs and activities. The move will make life easier for both parents and staff, according to division assistant treasurer Alex Schultz. “The parents who have signed up for this option have typically loved it, and the

schools that have embraced the online payment system have alleviated a great deal of distraction for staff,” he noted in a release. “From school registration fees to hot lunches and field trips, online services is simply what busy families have come to expect from a professional organization.” The system will be introduced to Chinook’s Edge schools in phases. Office staff will become fully trained and prepared for its implementation. École Steffie Woima School in Sylvan Lake was one of the first schools to get a glimpse of the system in action, and it’s been embraced by everyone who’s used it so far. Jodi Hinshaw, administrative support at

the school, said that the system “literally reduces hours of unnecessary work,” allowing school staff to allocate their time in a more effective manner. Collecting, separating and tracking hot lunch forms is just one of many time-consuming tasks that’s been eliminated with the new system in place. In completing her teaching practicum at École Fox Run School, Hinshaw has become aware of the limited time teachers have for dealing with tasks such as counting coins. Many people, she noted, have begun to expect to deal with such issues online now anyway. “Parents appreciate that we provide the service ... and our students aren’t tasked

with the responsibility of lugging cash around, so the benefits are for everyone, and they’re fantastic,” she said in a release. She added the school even has a computer on site for parents to use to make payments on.

Every day when I come to work I still feel that same thing, even after 15 short years. In policing, (time) goes by so quickly.” In addition to Fox Creek, McBeth has also worked at detachments in Strathmore, Leduc, Bretton and Drayton Valley throughout his 15-yearcareer.

Flags of Remembrance tribute comes to a close STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The patriotic flag display that adorned a portion of Highway 11 just outside Sylvan Lake for the past several weeks has now been lowered, but will return again next year, assures Veterans Voices of Canada (VVOC) founding CEO Allan Cameron. The 116 ‘Flags of Remembrance’ were raised by VVOC late last month in tribute to Canada’s war dead. A ceremony at HJ Cody school on Saturday marked the official end to the tribute — but only temporarily. Cameron said the flags will be raised again next year in at least one location, with plans in place to potentially see them relocated to a different community each year. He’s also hoping to see the display erected not only in Alberta, but throughout the entire country. Until then, VVOC will continue its historical-educational documentation of Canada’s veterans, he said, adding the flag tribute was successful in reminding veterans that they’re appreciated not only on Remembrance Day, but all yearround. Veterans’ Week activities in Sylvan Lake concluded just several days before Saturday’s ceremony, and saw no shortage of participation. But such strong community support isn’t unusual for Sylvan Lake, said Gordon Graham, first vice president and sergeant-at-arms of the Royal Canadian Legion Sylvan Lake. “Any Veterans’ Week activities in this town go very well,” he said. “We had great participation with just excellent community support and involvement.” A luncheon for veterans held at the Legion and the Remembrance Day service at the Multiplex were both well attended. Graham estimates the latter attracted about 1,200 people. During that service, 92-year-old WWII veteran William Baird was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour for his role in the liberation of France.

The once-in-a-lifetime presentation was undoubtedly a highlight of the day, Graham feels. “The presentation was unique in that it was not only 70 years in the making, but it will not again be seen in the lifetimes of those in attendance,” he said. At the age of 20 in 1942, Baird enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He served in Germany, England, Belgium, Holland and France before being honourably discharged in 1946. He joined the Royal Canadian Legion’s Forestburg branch that same year before eventually transferring to the Sylvan Lake branch in 1993. Baird still participates in and attends Legion activities and events, although declining health has made it increasingly difficult to so recently. Over the years, he’s volunteered extensively in branch activities, including the Poppy Campaign, which Graham said was a success again this year. Although final numbers hadn’t been tallied by press time, early indications showed the campaign was on track to either meet or exceed those of last year. And that’s just one of many positives the Royal Canadian Legion’s Sylvan Lake branch has to move forward with. Gordon said the branch has recruited a number of new members recently, making numbers the strongest they’ve been in years. Nonetheless, more members are always needed, he said. “We’re up at a level that we haven’t been to for the last several years, which is really positive,” he said. “The objective isn’t to recruit people, but it is to encourage people to participate in the Legion and support what the aims and objectives of the Legion are. “The more people you have, the more you have to participate in these various activities.” With Veterans’ week having concluded, the Royal Canadian Legion in a media release stated it would now continue its efforts to provide service to Canadian veterans year-round.

Changes needed to help prevent family violence SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

victim blaming in the media. Reframe the question, “Why does the victim stay?” to “Why does the perpetrator abuse?” If we remain silent, what our silence is really saying is that we do not see the unacceptable behaviour that is

Lakers season ends with defeat in Whitecourt JACKIE LAROCQUE SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

It was a frosty day in Whitecourt when the HJ Cody Lakers took on the Whitecourt Cats on Saturday. The battle was for the right to move on to provincial finals. The start of the game was vaguely familiar, except it was the Cats that scored the first touchdown in the first minute of the game, starting the scoreboard at 7-0 for the Cats. Tyrese and Landon eked down the field toward the end zone, giving Seth Blagen the opportunity to kick a field goal and bring the score to 7-3. Dylan Keller gained possession of the ball to run it down the field. From there, Landon Rosene stretched it out for a touchdown and Seth got the convert, bringing the score to 7-10 for the Lakers. The Cats stepped up to the plate and, even with Carter Theriault and Sulley Larocque diving, tripping and sit-spinning Cats, Whitecourt managed to get to their end zone. The Lakers defence line pushed against the Cats offence line in a battle of strength and will. But finally the Cats line broke through, putting the score at 14-10 for the Cats. Skylar passed to Landon who ran a first down. Lordy, lordy, Kyle Eckenswiller nabbed a 40-yard pass from Skylar. Another pass to Landon, who turned on the wheels for another touchdown, bringing the score to 17 for the Lakers (after Seth nailed the convert) and 14 for the Whitecourt Cats. Back and forth it went. Sulley Larocque slammed Cat after Cat. Dylan Keller dove and caught any Cat within his reach. Matthew Bossert and Chase Elwood had fun making Cat sandwiches. With the Cats at the five-yard line in their end zone, the Lakers defence became an impenetrable wall, and try as they might, they couldn’t break through. Passing to Landon, then to Kyle, then to Tyrese, Skylar’s passes were true. But the Cats didn’t let the Lakers get ahead. Whether it was through talent or fluke, the Cats took possession and ran the ball down the field for a touchdown and convert, bringing the score 21-17 for the Cats. Landon Gyori pressured receivers to

keep missing passes, while Kyle Eckenswiller tripped and grabbed a Cat or two. Seth Blagen managed another field goal, bringing the score to 21-20 going into the second half. The second half saw the competition increase between these two wellmatched teams. Fumbles, recoveries, possession, passes and tackles, back and forth, these boys were warring in a fair game absent of nit picking, sucker punches and sneaky shots. It was just a good, clean football game. Kyle Eckenswiller, Landon Rosene and Sulley Larocque played both offence and defence, as did several of the linemen, giving all they had to the game. Dylan Keller had his eye trained on #77 of the Cats, preventing him from running anywhere in the second half. Ryan Arnold was able to get his hands on the ball, and Austin Ilcissin made a few Cats eat grass. The Cats got in another field goal to bring the score up 24-20. The Lakers gave everything they had, but the Cats wouldn’t give an inch. The last five minutes were a frenzy of activity on the field as the pressure increased for the Lakers trying to get a touchdown and the Cats trying to increase their lead. Josh Rideout twisted his back leaping over a Cat and was escorted off, the game finished for him. Skylar Selk got sacked hitting the ground head first, ending the game for him in the final seconds. Sulley Larocque received multiple helmets to his knee, and although finished the game, needed help to the bus. All three are healing. But it just wasn’t meant to be. With another field goal and a safety point, the final score was 28 for the Whitecourt Cats to 20 for the Lakers. The season is now over for the Lakers, but they remain league champions and can now heal from the last few games before snowboarding season begins. For many of them, this was their last high school football game. Some of them are planning to continue playing football either at university or with junior teams, but whatever they decide, it is assured they will succeed — just as they did in football. Congratulations on a well-played season.
