Collision - Traffic was slowed down following a two-vehicle collision on 47 Avenue near 43 Street around 5 p.m. last Friday. Here, Sylvan Lake firefighters sur-vey the damage to one of the vehicles involved. JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN

JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

As Sylvan Lake’s Michael Arthur continues his brave battle against leukemia, so too does the community’s support of him and his family.

The ‘Fight Like Mike’ fundraising group will host a two-day fundraising event in support of the 10-year-old March 27 and 28.

It begins with a three-on-three hockey tournament for Novice, Atom and Peewee divisions at the Sylvan Lake Multiplex from 6 to 9 p.m. March 27. That’s followed by a free family event at the Community Centre from 7 to 11

p.m. on March 28. There, West of the Fifth will perform their musical talents.

An obstacle course, face painting, road hockey, mini sticks and a barbecue will all be available for families and children to enjoy.

Travis Brigley, who coaches Arthur’s Atom AA Lakers hockey team, is encouraging members of the community to take part in the event.

“It's just a fun-filled evening for anybody who's willing to come out,” he said. “You don't have to spend any money — there's no pressure. Just come down and have a great day and try and support Michael Arthur and his fight with cancer.”

All events are open to the public at no cost.There will also be a chance for patrons to get their hands

on a number of auction items, including fishing trips, hockey jerseys, hockey sticks, pictures and spa packages.

“It's going to be a fun day,” said Brigley. “The more people we can get coming through there supporting the family the better. That's why we’re all doing it.”

He added he’s been glad to see such strong community support shown for Arthur and his family in recent weeks.

“This community is coming together like you wouldn't believe.” he said. “It's great and it makes you feel good that you live in Sylvan Lake. It's a great town and it’s more than just a lake. It's a great place to call home.”

Sylvan Lake town coun-cil delved further into the possibility of regulating pedicabs in town during its regular meeting March 9.

Town staff presented a report outlining a previous prohibition placed on pedi-cabs and rickshaws in Sylvan Lake and how future related proposals could be considered.

The operation of rick-shaws, in which human runners pull a two-wheeled passenger cart, was omitted from council’s motion to direct staff to look further into the regulation.

The operation of pedi-cabs, however, in which drivers pedal a three-wheeled passenger cart much like a bicycle, was generally supported by council.

“I think that rickshaws and pedicabs need to be addressed separately,” said Mayor Sean McIntyre. “I think (pedicabs) would be a

great cultural addition to downtown.”

The presence of pedicabs

in the downtown area, he added, would allow visitors to that area to explore other parts of town.

“I’d welcome future applications like this.”

Coun. Jas Payne said safety would need to be a main consideration in future decisions made regarding the regulation of pedicabs.

He said his concerns were related “more to health and safety than economics,”

and asked that local law enforcement be a part of town staff ’s further investi-gation into the matter.

“Safety and security needs to be paramount,” he said. “That needs to be the goal.”

An application propos-ing a rickshaw business sev-eral years ago was with-drawn when the applicant was advised advertising wouldn’t be permitted on its vehicles.

Sylvan Lake RCMP at a later meeting advised its opposition to such busi-nesses. At that time, it noted that “rickshaws and pedi-cabs would present a traffic safety issue in the down-town core.”

Provincial legislation prohibits the use of adver-tising on such vehicles, although the town could authorize it through bylaw.

The motion carried by council on March 9 instructed town staff to look into the matter “with or without advertising.”

Four recent oil-train derailments — two in the United States and two in Canada accompanied by yet another drive-by rhetorical smear of the Keystone XL pipeline by U.S. President Barack Obama — have re-invigorated the debate over how Canadians and Americans transport oil.

The most recent spills and explosions in Illinois, West Virginia and Ontario all involved long oil trains of about 100 cars. So far as we know, they all met the most recent railcar designs and regulatory requirements in the U.S. and Canada.

The barrage of derailments continues to illuminate the folly of the anti-pipeline movement.

Because of an artificially created shortage of pipeline capacity in the U.S. and Canada, more petroleum products are moving by rail. This issue was deeply ana-lyzed in a 2013 study I co-authored on Intermodal Safety in the Transport of Oil. Using the most comprehen-sive available U.S. data, we observed that while the vast majority of oil transported by any mode arrives safely at its destination, there are still discernible differences in relative safety. On virtually

all metrics of safety, whether environmental or occupa-tional, it was clear that move-ment of oil and gas is safest via pipeline and less safe via rail.

Specifically, on an apples-to-apples basis, transport one billion tons of oil over a mile by pipeline and there is a very low likelihood of leakage — less than one incident per billion ton-miles. The risk of a leak by rail is twice as high, at two likely incidents. And trucks are 10 times higher still, with 20 incidents likely in moving a billion tons of oil over a mile. On volumes spilled, it’s true that pipeline ruptures release larger quan-tities of oil than individual truck or train spills, but recovery rates for oil spilled from pipelines can reach 50 per cent, and they are far less likely to pose a threat to large population centres. When it comes to worker safety, pipe-lines also look safer. Safety data from the U.S. suggests that one would have only 0.007 injuries per billion ton-miles, while rail injury rates are 30 times as high.

That pipelines are safer than trucks or trains should come as no surprise. A pipe-line is fixed infrastructure with little exposure to the elements, fewer opportunities for operator or mechanical failure, and with greater capacity for real-time moni-toring and pre-planning for

remediation based on the specific and well-understood characteristics of the pipeline route. Pipeline routes are also often built away from dense-ly populated areas. Trains and trucks, running above ground, are on fluid routes subject to constant change. That offers far more oppor-tunities for breakdown, oper-ator error, and injuries to workers as well as the gen-eral public. And, rail and roadways, by intent, pass through major population centres putting more people at risk when an accident hap-pens.

Environmentalists and anti-fossil-fuel allies have successfully stalled the devel-opment of safer pipeline capacity for years now. As a result, more oil is trans-ported by railways, increasing health and environmental impacts rather than reducing them.

Anti-pipeliners would undoubtedly say that the solution to these problems is just to “stop using oil,” but that idea is essentially the mother of all denial: devel-oped economies are essen-tially fossil-fuel economies from top to bottom, with a helping of hydro and nuclear power on the side — 87 per cent of all the energy used around the world is gener-ated from fossil fuels, and 80 per cent of all transportation is powered by oil and its

Spring, hiding for sev-eral months under a crust of dirty snow, is starting to play peek-a-boo with all us weary winter dwellers.

It’s nice!As winter slowly makes

its most welcome descent to wherever it goes, I have found, much to my surprise, among the icicles and the crusty snowbanks some really cool (pardon the pun) moments to remember.

It is true. There is always so much stuff to worry about. In fact I am sure there are at least one-hundred-and-one reasons to be sad on any given day. Actually, I am surprised no one has

written a book on that.But creeping into the very

fabric of sadness, like the ridiculous sight of a flower springing up in a crack in the cement, there are these unexplained moments of joy.

Weird how that happens, but one can only be grateful that they do.

A friend and I went out for supper and a movie the other night. That in itself was quite magnificent for little old me, who happens to be home alone for the next little while and was thinking of a peanut butter and honey sandwich as my simple supper fare.

But no, she whisked me away to a rather exotic chicken and cashew meal which I ate right to the very last cashew, enjoying myself, the cashews, the chicken and the company, immensely.

Anyway, the movie called

‘Wild’ was a tall tale (well, probably not all that tall, and maybe not a tale at all, because it could have hap-pened) about a young girl who went into the ‘wild’ to find herself after her moth-er died and her marriage disintegrated.

Before the mother died, a scene showed her singing in her little kitchen. Her daughter, home from school, sank dejected onto one of the tattered old kitchen chairs. She looked at her mother in disgust.

“Why are you singing,” she said. “Don’t you get it? Life is hard. We have noth-ing. You married a loser who left you.”

“Yes”, I thought. “Be mis-erable, darn it. Life is too hard. Do not, I repeat, do not sing.”

I munched my popcorn!Sadly, the mom died,

hence the trip into the ‘Wild’ for the girl to find herself.

The movie has so much food for thought that I haven’t been able to digest it all, but this much I know for sure.

Walking is good and singing is even better.

Lately, I’ve done lots of walking, mostly because of the Fit Bit thing I have on my wrist, and not so much because of a desire to find myself.

I pretty much know where I am and I’m probably late.

But I must admit the ice walk I took with a couple of friends to Johnson’s Canyon did give a whole new mean-ing to the word ‘walk’.

For me, a faithful tread-mill-type walker, slipping and sliding on the edge of a mountain, protected only by a guardrail, was a totally new,

exhilarating experience.And I must admit, it is

right up there on my ‘favou-rite’ list along with red wine and music.

It was like walking in a mystical world of beauty where the water and the rocky walls around me were quiet and still, just hanging there as if they were sus-pended by Mother Nature in a magnificent, frozen white trance.

A delicious supper in my sister’s cozy kitchen (the pretty plates more than made up for the slightly burned carrots) and having breakfast with a little girl whose smile and summer sky blue eyes turn my heart to ‘grandma mush’ tells me one thing is for sure.

derivatives. Renewables such as wind and solar power are akin to the skin of an apple — pretty, but not terribly filling in and of itself.

Opposition to pipelines flies in the face of safety data, which shows that pipelines are safer modes of transport than railways. This is not the pipeline engineering equiva-lent of rocket science. And despite the current downturn in world oil prices, energy agencies and companies expect future demand to

rebound, and create the incentives to develop oil in both the U.S. and Canada.

Environmentalists who engage in anti-pipeline cru-sades risk causing more harm than good. Their pipeline-stalling actions are diverting oil to rail; oil that would otherwise be transported more safely by pipeline.

Warm weather prompts early ice hut removal recommendationconcerned that could be too late.

The committee last week released an advisory encouraging ice fishers to remove their huts as soon as possible.

“One of the main rea-sons is our ice condition,

particularly this year with our nice weather,” said committee chair Keith Stephenson. “It's just easi-er to get [the huts] off and it's more convenient for the people who have them out there.”

Stephenson said there

were three huts left on the ice last year. The aim this year, he said, is to reduce that number to zero.

Huts remaining on the ice past the March 31 deadline must be removed by trained ice rescue per-sonnel.

When huts are left on the lake, debris including wood, gasoline, furniture and plastic can settle at the bottom of the lake or remain floating on the water’s surface. The potentially resulting water contamination can endan-

ger fish and waterfowl habitat, and create safety hazards for other users of the lake.

Any huts removed after the deadline will be sent to the Sylvan Lake waste transfer station and destroyed if not claimed.

The Alberta Business Awards of Distinction was held in Edmonton Feb. 27, and Len Campbell, owner of Sylvan Lake-based Clearview Glass Service, was in attendance as his company placed in the top five of the overall 149 nominees for the Small Business Award of Distinction.

He said that even though he did not win the award, it was an honour to have been chosen as one of

the final five nominees for the provincewide award.

Campbell tried to describe what it meant to be nominated for the award, and said it was dif-ficult to put his feelings into words.

“It's an honour to be nominated,” he said. “We were the only one in Central Alberta who got nominated.”

Campbell’s business provides new and replace-ment glass in his custom-ers’ homes, businesses and vehicles. His business serves customers anywhere

in Alberta. “We work hard and we

try to please the customer, and it's just a reward for all the hard work we do,” he said. “We try to give them a quality product in a time-ly fashion.”

Campbell also attended the Sylvan Lake Chamber of Commerce Business Awards and Mermaid Ball held at the Community Centre last year, where his business was presented with the Customer Service Excellence Award, spon-sored by Unique Elevations.

McDermott seeking support in bid to document Ultraman journeyERIN FAWCETT

RED DEER EXPRESS

A Sylvan Lake athlete is turning to the community for support as he hopes to document his journey to the Ultraman World Championships later this year in Hawaii.

Scott McDermott is filming a documentary entitled Living the Warrior Code, which will follow his training to one of the most prestigious races in the world.

The Ultraman Championships are an invitation-only

race that is set to take place in Kona, Hawaii Nov. 27 to 29. Only 40 athletes from across the globe are invited to com-pete. The race covers 515 kms and consists of a 10 km swim, 421 km cross-country bike ride and 84 km ultra-marathon run.

“The spark for the idea happened when my wife and I were watching the Banff Mountain Film Festival. The films are about average people doing ridiculously awesome things,” he said. “Everyone goes away from the films inspired and wanting to do something with their lives.

“I thought Ultraman is kind of fun that way. I think that

would make a neat documentary.”Drew Kenworthy, a friend of McDermott’s and film-

maker will produce the film. The estimated cost for the film production and athlete costs is pegged at $115,000 — the amount that McDermott is hoping to fundraise. It is hoped to have the majority of the funds raised in a short time — McDermott has begun a fundraising webpage with an expiration date of funds being raised by April 17.

“I thought it would be really cool to show this from the beginning with all of the training, because the race is the easy part. People don’t see everyday getting up at ‘dark o’clock’ and getting up out of a nice warm bed to go freeze to death and run for three hours or sitting on a spin bike in the basement for four or five hours in the winter.

“It’s those pieces and there are parts of it that are funny and maybe as you get closer to the race there is a bit of a more serious element, but it’s also a whole lot of fun.”

Another purpose of the documentary is for McDermott to be able to show his family what he does.

“My mom is in her 80s and has never ever seen me race in her life and she never will — it’s just too hard — she is not capable of making the flight. It’s also a way for me to show my mom what I do.”

McDermott has already begun filming his journey. He has a GoPro and has documented bits and pieces of his training to date since January. He also went to Arizona for a week recently to a training camp and Kenworthy joined him and filmed a number of aspects of the camp.

Kenworthy will also head to Idaho with McDermott at the end of June for a confirmation race for Ultraman later this year.

“Drew will be filming the final stages of prep and film-ing me in the race and trying to capture as much as we can about what that looks like.”

The hope is the film will be completed and submitted to the Banff Mountain Film Festival in October 2016.

For more information on McDermott’s quest, visit ‘Living the Warrior Code’ on Facebook. To donate to his fundraising campaign, visit www.indiegogo.com and search ‘Living the Warrior Code — A Documentary’.

Two-vehicle collision results in charges being laid against four peopleMarch 7

1:10 a.m. – RCMP attended a disturbance at a residence on Lakeway Boulevard in Sylvan Lake. Dispatch received a call from a third party advising that a female at the resi-dence was destroying the property of a male friend. After investigating the com-plaint, it was determined that a female was residing with her boyfriend at the residence and a verbal dis-pute ensued, resulting in the male leaving and the female damaging his personal property. A 29-year-old Sylvan Lake female was subsequently charged with mischief under $5,000.

4:01 a.m. – A 23-year-old Sylvan Lake male is charged with assault in rela-tion to a domestic dispute on Bowman Circle in Sylvan Lake. Police were called to the residence where a 20-year-old female was observed to have marks on her legs. She advised that she was assaulted by

her boyfriend when a ver-bal argument became heat-ed. The male was arrested at the scene on an outstand-ing warrant and was also formally charged with assault.

3:39 p.m. – A traffic stop by a Sylvan Lake peace offi-cer resulted in RCMP assis-tance. A community peace officer stopped a vehicle on Hagerman Road and the male driver was observed to be exhibiting signs of impairment. RCMP arrived and administered a road-side screening device. A 42-year-old Sylvan Lake male is charged with impaired driving and hav-ing a blood alcohol level over .08.

March 81:02 a.m. – RCMP

attended a party on Range Road 12 at Township Road 40 in Red Deer County. A complainant advised that a group of people were intox-icated and causing noise near the gully at a dead end road. When police arrived

approximately 120 people were located. All of the alcohol on scene was dis-carded and all the drivers were checked to ensure no signs of impairment. The party was shut down with-out incident.

5:28 p.m. – A two vehi-cle collision on Highway 11A near Range Road 12 resulted in charges being laid against four people. A truck and SUV collided at the intersection. The driver and passengers of the truck all exhibited signs of impairment and were act-ing erratically. As a result of further investigation, the 28-year-old male driver, a resident of Red Deer, was charged with failing to comply with a probation order, driving carelessly and driving while unau-thorized. A 27-year-old Red Deer male was charged with possession of crystal meth and three counts of failing to comply with the conditions of a recogni-zance. A 31-year-old

Lacombe female is charged with possession of crystal meth and failing to comply with a probation order and a 32-year-old male from Penhold is charged with possession of crystal meth.

7:42 p.m. – RCMP were dispatched to Sylvan Lake McDonald’s after a report of a suspicious male at the restaurant. Police located a 24-year-old male who was heavily intoxicated and bleeding from his hand. The male sustained the injury while digging through a dumpster. He was treated and transported to cells where he remained until sober.

March 1310:19 a.m. – A 911 call

was received by dispatch of a domestic dispute at a resi-dence on Lucky Place in Sylvan Lake. A witness reported a fight in progress between a male and female on the front lawn of a neighbour’s residence. The female was yelling for help before fleeing back into the

home. An investigation by members resulted in a 23-year-old male being charged with assault. Alcohol was a factor. The male was lodged in cells until sober and released with conditions.

5:50 p.m. – A collision involving a motorcycle and a SUV resulted in charges against a 32-year-old female resident of Spruce Grove, Alberta. Emergency crews were called to Lakeway Boulevard at Laurel Range Road in Sylvan Lake after a male on the motorcycle sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries. The female driver of the SUV failed to provide a breath sample. She is facing charges of failure of an approved screening causing bodily harm; dangerous operation of a motor vehi-cle causing bodily harm; and following too closely.

11:46 p.m. – A traffic stop by RCMP in Sylvan Lake resulted in fines being laid against the driver and

passenger. A truck was stopped for speeding on 46th Street at 50th Avenue, at which time the officer detected alcohol on the breath of the driver. The passenger in the truck was also found to be in posses-sion of open alcohol. A roadside screening device was utilized. The 24-year-old driver received a 30-day driving suspension with the vehicle impounded for seven days. He was also charged with speeding.

Sunday Worship10:30 am

You probably have seen someone wearing a cross on a necklace. You may wear one yourself. Why make such a big deal about the cross? Why wear such a symbol? After all it is a symbol of death, death by crucifi xion.Crucifi xion is a slow and painful form of capital punishment. In it a victim is tied or nailed to a large wooden cross for hours or days. It is very diffi cult for the victim to lift themselves up on their arms to get air into the lungs. Thus death usually comes as the result of asphyxiation. Crucifi xion was widely used by the Roman Empire to punish criminals. It is still in use today, according to Wikipedia: On 5 February, 2015 The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) reported that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has committed “several cases of mass executions of boys, as well as reports of beheadings, crucifi xions of children and burying children alive.” As you can imagine crucifi xion is a most despicable way to die. Besides the physical and emotional pain involved the suff ering victim is on display for others to pity or abhor. Certainly that was the case for our Lord Jesus Christ. However as far as I can see his greatest suff ering was spiritual. Anticipating the cross he prayed My Father, if it is possible, may

this cup (of suff ering) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will (Matthew 26:39). Can you imagine what it must have been like for Christ to anticipate taking all the evil thoughts, words and actions of all us sinners upon his sinless soul?On the cross, He who was the sinless Son of God in a human body cried out My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46). Somehow the holy, never defi led soul of the sinless Christ embraced all my sin, your sin and the evil of the whole world (I John 2:2). No wonder holy God forsook him. No wonder he cried out.The Good News is he was forsaken by the Father that we might not be. In the sacrifi ce of Christ, God justifi es us believing sinners (Romans 3:26, 5:1). Describing that great reversal we read: God has made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21). Christ makes believers fi t for God and heaven! (John 14:1-6)And all because of the cross of Christ! In this Lenten season as we approach Good Friday let us thank Our Lord Jesus Christ for enduring the just judgement of God for our sins. Let us thank him for full forgiveness of us, for giving his righteousness to us and for guaranteeing us a place with him forever (John 14:1-6). And it is all because of His cross.

After the sale of the Value Drugmart, the Sylvan Lake Pharmacy is the last locally owned andoperated pharmacy left in Sylvan Lake. Sitting down with both the owners of the Sylvan LakePharmacy allowed me to realize that they offered far more services than what I originally knew of. Some of the many services this pharmacy offers are travel vaccine and shingles vaccine prescribing and administration, free deliveries in Sylvan Lake, free blister packing, medical equipment sales and rentals such as breast pumps, crutches, wheel-chairs and walking boot casts. “Being located inside a medical clinic we also like to keep a good selection of fi rst aid supplies and braces,” Busse said. “There is also a physiotherapy clinic in the building, so we have a lot of equipment those patients require as well.”Not only does the staff at this pharmacy work hard to provide valuable services to their patients, they provide the services in a timely manner, as they value their patients time. “We are able to fi ll prescriptions immediately, and working in close proximity with the physicians and nurses here is great for patient care, as any medication problems can be dealt with immediately.” Aggarwal said. “We have a great working relationship with the physicians and otherhealthcare providers in the Sylvan Medical Center,” Busse said. “We like to have a team approach to patient care.” The pharmacy is part of a painmanagement program developed at the medical clinic. One of theirpharmacists sits in with the physician, a nurse, and the patient at their regular appointments. “It’s everyone working together to come up with the bestpossible outcome for the patient.” The pharmacists at the Sylvan Lake Pharmacy are always available to discuss any medication or health issue with all patients. “We are happy to sit down with anyone to discuss any medication issues they may be having,” Aggarwal said “it doesn’t matter if you are not a regular patient at our pharmacy,we are here to help everyone.”

Recreational Vendors.Q: How many of the 6 sites are proposed for food trucks?A: Of the 6 sites, only 2 sites would be available for a food truck. These sites are also available for

vendors.Q: How long is a mobile vending permit valid?A: A permit will be issued for a maximum of 7 consecutive days. Local vendors will be given priority access to the site over out-of-town vendors.Q: What are the proposed hours that mobile vendors would be allowed to operate?A: Mobile Vendors could operate daily from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, excluding statutory holiday, where they could operate until 11:00 pm.Q: Will any mobile vendors be operating on the beach/provincial park?A: Not within this Program.

One such regulation is returning the vending site to its original condition at the end of each business day. Periodic Site visits will occur. Q: How do the mobile vending fees compare to the local businesses that pay municipal taxes?A: The proposed fees are structured on a tiered pricing system. The fees are based on the type of vendors, and take into consideration the current land assessed value in the downtown.

A: No, all of the proposed locations are on public property.

Emily Ammeter is counting down the days to her departure for Auckland, New Zealand, where she will co-lead a mission team for 10 weeks from March to June.

Ammeter, a 20-year-old Sylvan Lake native, is a Discipleship Training School (DTS) staff mem-ber, and will take the team of 13 young adults through the Youth With a Mission (YWAM) organi-zation.

Her team will be one of about 40 others travel-ing to New Zealand to help support YWAM mis-sionaries already working with youth groups in dif-ferent churches.

Ammeter said the trip will foster YWAM’s pur-pose and help it achieve its long-term goals.

“Sending a short-term team like this is helping to set up long-term initia-tives in New Zealand,” Ammeter said. “It’s help-ing establish what’s already going on there and to encourage them in order to keep doing it.”

Ammeter said her pas-sion for helping others grew as she progressed through the DTS pro-gram about two-and-a-half years ago. That expe-rience, she said, com-pletely changed her life.

Now a DTS staff mem-ber, she relishes being able to witness the same change in other students.

“The most rewarding

thing about this is seeing these students coming with us and seeing them completely changed by the end,” she said. “It’s awesome to travel and see New Zealand, but at the end of the day people’s lives are being completely changed. Not just changed for a few months, but being completely changed for their life.”

The trip will cost Ammeter $3,100, which will cover the cost of her flight, housing, food and transportation.

In fundraising for the trip, Ammeter has requested money from churches, family and friends. But she still needs $2,000 by March 30.

Those wishing to help her in her fundraising

efforts are asked to contact her at [email protected].

The following article and accompanying pictures were submitted by the Sylvan Lake and District Archives Society as part of a series celebrating the society’s 20 years of existence this year. The Archives Society is open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 4 p.m. at its new location in the lower level of the town’s Municipal Government Building.

Hockey has always been a very popular sport in Sylvan Lake. The Archives has photos of early teams with the names of well-known locals — Fisher, Swainson, McCutcheon, Armeneau, Grimson, Halvorson. The pictures on this page show some later teams of interest!

The middle and bottom photos on this page show members of the 1950s Sylvan Lake Buffaloes and their racing sled for Sylvan Lake High School. The pic-ture showing the group of six players includes (left to right) Joe Untinen, Gerry Peters, George Ross, Alf Cadman, Dale Mannix and Leonard Brassard.

The team picture includes, in the back row, Dale Mannix, George Ross, Joe Untinen, Alf Cadman,

Leonard Brassard and Larry Watt, and in the front row, Red Hermanson, Lee Mannix, Ivan Conroy, Johnny Ross and Gerry Peters.

In those early days, hockey teams were exclu-sively male — although, in the ‘Recollections Beyond Reflections’ history book, Monte Keith of Sylvan Lake notes that “Doreen Daley’s hockey skills were second to none compared to the boys!”

The top photo was taken in the Sylvan Lake Arena July, 1980, and is one of the few times all six Sutter brothers were on the ice playing each other.

The event was an exhibi-tion game with members of the Rustlers Centennial Cup team playing alumni members of the Rustlers. Darryl, Duane and Brian are in red jerseys, and Ron, Rich and Brent are in white. The referee with the ‘golf ball’ helmet is Roger Petrie.

Police on lookout for graffiti vandals in Sylvan LakeSYLVAN LAKE RCMP

SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake RCMP need your help. Over the last couple months, there has been a notable increase in ‘graffiti’ around Sylvan Lake. Police are actively investigating these events and would like to hear from anyone who has fallen vic-tim to this crime.

As of late, a particular graffiti vandal has been painting his tag — ‘BURS’ — around town on power boxes, walls of businesses and other locations.

If you have seen the individual(s) writing this tag (BURS) or know the individuals who write this tag (or any other tag) and can provide information, please call the RCMP com-plaint line at (403) 887-3333, or if you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by internet at www.tipsubmit.com.

You do not have to reveal

your identity to Crime Stoppers, and if you provide information to Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest(s), you may be eligi-ble for a cash reward.

Photos of this particular tag are available to view at the Sylvan Lake RCMP detachment, but have not been provided to media as this then becomes a trophy or reward for these vandals.

Graffiti factsGenerally, graffiti can be

defined as the defacing of public or private property by painting, drawing, writ-ing, etching or carving without the property own-er’s permission.

The offence of Mischief found in the Criminal Code of Canada gives police the power to lay charges for graffiti related incidents.

Section 430(1) Criminal Code of Canada states everyone commits mischief who willfully:

• destroys or damages property;

• renders property dan-gerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective;

• obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property; or

• obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property.

Penalty Section 430(4) states everyone who com-mits mischief in relation to property, other than prop-erty described in subsection (3):

• is guilty of an indict-able offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or

• is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

In addition to the above noted Criminal Code charges, police also have the power to charge anyone who commits this offence under S. 10.1 of the Town of Sylvan Lake Community Standards Bylaw. This bylaw makes it an offence to place graffiti on property and car-ries a monetary penalty of $2,500 for a first offence, $5,000 for a second offence and $7,500 for a third and

subsequent offence.The following excerpt is

borrowed from the Saskatoon Police Service Anti Graffiti website, which has a lot of great informa-tion with respect to the crime, the effects it has on the community and tips on how to remove graffiti from different types of surfaces.

“Graffiti is more than just words or symbols sprayed. Graffiti is an act of vandalism that costs hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars to remove or cover every year.

Every dollar spent on graffiti removal is a dollar that could be used on other badly needed programs.

Areas filled with graffiti are less appealing to those who may be looking to buy or rent property. Property becomes more difficult to sell and values are reduced.

If not immediately removed, graffiti sends out a message that ‘nobody cares’ about the area. It also causes the area to look

unsafe and makes people concerned about their per-sonal safety. This creates an open invitation for more lit-tering, loitering and other graffiti.

Unfortunately, it may also lead to an increase in other crimes and acts of violence.

The Broken Window Theory espouses that if a broken window in a build-ing is left un-repaired, the other windows will also be broken. An experiment to test this theory was per-formed by Wilson and Kelling (1982), whereby a car was abandoned in two neighbourhoods — one respectable and the other run down.

In both of these neigh-bourhoods, the car was van-dalized, showing that van-dalism can occur anywhere once informal social con-trols are lowered by signals that no one cares.

The authors also suggest that untended behaviour can lead to breakdown of

community controls (i.e., if a place is left untended, weeds will grow, windows may be smashed, young people will congregate, public drinking may occur, etc).

This breakdown may not lead to increased levels of crime, however, it will lead to increases in residents’ perceptions of crime.

The level of disorder will lead them to assume that crime, especially violent crime, is rising, making them feel less secure and more fearful. The suggested result of this is that people will avoid using the streets and have less contact with others, thus reducing com-munity bonds, and install-ing individual’s isolation.

The resultant effect is that these environments also make a neighbourhood more vulnerable to crime.

This shows how graffiti can contribute to the prob-lems and perceptions of crime in a given communi-ty.

The Sylvan Lake Bantam AA Lakers competed in the Bantam AA Major provin-cial tournament in Sherwood Park March

12 to 15. They played four round-robin games and had a record of three wins and one loss.

With a record of 3-1-0, the Lakers fin-ished first in Pool A which meant a semi final game against the Calgary

Blackhawks. The Blackhawks tallied three power play goals in the second period and the Lakers could not recover and eventually fell 6-1. Calgary went on to beat St. Albert in the gold medal game 3-1.

In league play the Lakers are North

Division champions and find themselves in the SCAHL final series against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. It is a best-of-five series with game three in Sylvan Lake at the Multiplex on March 25 at 8 p.m. Game four, if necessary, will be March 26 at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday’s games saw the Lakers up against Camille Voyageurs, beating them 51-35, then face Lacombe Lasers and come out on top 44-33.

This put them first in their pool, and they faced Hunting Hills in the crossover game on Friday, squeaking out a victory against the Lightning 40-37.

The final saw the Lakers up against their arch nemesis, the Lindsay Thurber Raiders. This game was close from the opening whistle on.

In the last five minutes of the game, the Lakers ran into some foul problems and ended up losing 53-39, taking home the silver medal.

Sylvan Lake Buccaneers lacrosse players are prepar-ing to head into their first season as an association next month.

The number of players registered this year has increased significantly, said association president John Hess. Last year there were 84 players; this year there are 155.

The increase was unex-pected, Hess said. Players, nonetheless, are excited for the season to begin, he assured.

“There’s a lot of very excited kids, and hopefully we can get the parents excit-ed,” he said.

All nine Buccaneers teams have coaches, but Hess said there is still a need for parents to help at games.

“It takes time and people to run the game,” he said. “I need parents on the benches. I need people invested in their kids. I need their time and their kids.”

At registration, players’ parents write a $200 cheque to the association, which is only cashed if the parents do not fulfill the 10 hours of volunteer service required of them.

“The game is only as good as what the parents are going to be involved,” Hess said. “It can’t be a babysitting service; they have to be involved.”

Hess said the biggest challenge the association is facing is limited facility play-ing space. He said about half of the season’s games will be played at the Multiplex.

The season begins in April and ends in June.

The first league game is scheduled for the weekend of April 10 in Red Deer. The Buccaneers will compete against other teams from Olds, Innisfail, Lacombe, Ponoka, Didsbury, Drumheller and Three Hills.

Teams will play 12 games throughout the season. Older players will practice twice a week and play at least one game on most week-

ends, while younger players will practice once a week and play one game on most weekends.

Hess himself will likely coach the Bantam team this season, and will aid in coaching other teams as well.

Coaching and volunteer-ing, he feels, provides an opportunity to give back to the sport, and he has noticed some older players following in his lead.

Hess’s son, along with two other players, have pre-viously attended younger teams’ practices and spent their own time teaching the younger players how to play the game.

“It’s incredible to watch them give back,” Hess said. “It’s a huge part of the cul-ture of this and I really want to grow that.”

Hess said players develop

strong lifelong friendships, as they’re disciplined to be competitive on the field, but to be a “brother from anoth-er mother” once the game is done.

“You have best friends and it’s part of the culture. It’s part of what we try to develop and it’s what this game is,” Hess said. “You’re making friends and know-ing people all over.”

Hess said he’s looking forward to helping his play-ers develop their lacrosse skills and aiding them in becoming functioning adults. He said he takes own-ership in helping develop players into mature adults.

“We have fantastic kids and we have really good ath-letes,” he said. “I learn more from them than they learn from being here. It’s fantas-tic.”

Hess said he is proud of

what the kids are becoming and how they are giving back. Last year, he asked for some older players to help out with younger players, and had had eight kids respond, all ready to volun-teer their time.

“That’s their time,” Hess said. “They could be outside playing, skateboarding, bik-ing and whatever else, but they came down to help with these other kids. That’s what

I’m proud of.”Hess’s goal for this season

is for the kids and their par-ents to have fun, and to be interested in and fall in love with the sport so they will come back the next season.

Overall, however, he’s focusing on making the sea-son successful.

“It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish and if I see forward motion in all my kids, then I’ve done my part.”

Shadow Ridersenjoy busy start to 2015

SOLOMON DUPLESSISSPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The first two months of 2015 have been amazing for the Shadow Riders 4-H group.

Level 1-3 had a junior camp held Jan. 17 and 18 at Benalto Ag grounds. This camp had many fun activities such as going to the gym, toboggan-ing, watching movies, skating, horse cookie and bird food making. Level 4-7 had a young project camp Feb. 21 and 22 held at the Benalto Ag grounds, where they learned young horse train-

ing techniques.On Feb. 8, we had our public speak-

ing competition. It was a day of great speeches and food. The placings were: Junior - Colton Windo (1st), Callie Corriveau (2nd), Aidyn Thomas (3rd); Intermediate - Nicole Blair (1st), Kylie Windo (2nd), Amber Conway (3rd); Senior - Jadey Van der Vlis (1st), Casey Cole (2nd), Corey Stan (3rd). Our presentation winner was Rayeann Masters.

On Feb. 10, our club got together for a fun night of bowling, where we ate pizza and bowled a couple of games

as a club. For fundraising, we hauled 700 straw bales to and from the Westerner for the Sportsman Show from Feb. 26 to March 1.

Some of our members participated in regional 4-H activities like the Rebels night at the Centrium on Feb. 14, and the Junior Winter Camp Feb. 27 to March 1 by Battle Lake 4-H Centre.

Since the weather is looking better, March 1 was our first ride of 2015 and we will continue to ride every Sunday until June. It was a couple of fun months!
