Destroyed - A house northeast of Sylvan Lake was completely destroyed by fire last Thursday afternoon. Cause of the blaze was not known at press time, according to Fred Millar, Lacombe Regional Fire Service Coordinator. He declined to estimate the value of the loss. The house, built in 1978, was located just inside the south end of Lacombe County on Range Road 28-4 just north of Township Road 39-2. Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County firefighters initially responded to the blaze which was called in after the homeowner returned to find the building filled with smoke. By the time the first trucks arrived flames were shooting high into the air through several windows. Subsequently tankers were called from Red Deer City, Lacombe County, the City of Lacombe, and Blackfalds to ferry water from a hydrant in Sylvan Lake. Firefighters were on the scene from about four hours following the 1:40 alarm. Sylvan Lake firefighters again responded to the same location Saturday night to douse hot spots that had flared up. (A picture of the fire was posted to the News’ Facebook page shortly after it happened. Check it out.) STEVE DILLS PHOTOS

A series of changes within Red Deer Catholic Schools system has pro-vided a new opportunity for Dorice Swensrude who assumes the role of principal at École Mother Teresa School after just over three years in a sim-ilar position at Our Lady of the Rosary School.
“I’m really excited to be at Mother Teresa,” she said Tuesday during her first morning at the school. “I’m looking for-ward to working with students, parents and the fabulous staff that is here.”
It was with mixed emotions that she accept-ed the new challenge, Swensrude indicated.
“As I look back on my time at Our Lady of the Rosary School, I realize
how blessed I have been to be part of such a fabu-lous school community,” she wrote in a letter to parents. “I wish to thank each and every one of you for making such a positive, immeasurable contribution to our school community. I thank you, straight from my heart, for providing me with so many bless-ings as we worked together and for working with me to achieve what one dreams of in Catholic education, a school with a reputation for excel-lence in academics and for excellence in faith development.
“It’s difficult to cap-ture in words the beauti-ful and caring environ-ment that has evolved at Our Lady of the Rosary School. I know it has become what it is because of the love that is shared amongst all of the great
people involved in our school.”
She added that her “fondest and most cher-ished memories will most definitely be of your children. I will miss the many smiles, hugs, sto-ries and expressions of kindness that have brought countless moments of joy and ful-fillment to my profes-sional life.”
About her new posi-tion, Swensrude said, “I look forward to continu-ing to build upon the strong reputation that École Mother Teresa School has in the com-munity of Sylvan Lake. I want to work in a team

with students, parents and staff to continue to improve the school. I look forward to a most enriching and exciting leadership journey.”
Before joining Our Lady of the Rosary, Swensrude had served as vice principal at École Mountview Elementary (4 years) and École Oriole Park Elementary (7 years) schools with Red Deer Public Schools. During her time at Mountview she also worked at the division office as curriculum spe-cialist for French Immersion.
Prior to work in Red Deer she was the French Immersion team leader at Upper Lacombe Elementary where she taught Grade 3 students. She also taught Grade 1 and 2 French Immersion
students at École Rocky Elementary School.
Her post secondary
education includes two bachelors degrees as well as a Masters in Science,
Educational Policy and Management, from the University of Oregon.

Tuesday morning marked the beginning of another journey in Jodi Smith’s career as an edu-cator.
She assumed princi-palship of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic
School following the transfer of Dorice Swenrude to principal-ship of École Mother Teresa Catholic School.
Smith started French Immersion at Mother Teresa as the lead teach-er in 2000. She spent ten years at the local school, two of those as vice principal before moving
to École Camille J. Lerouge School in Red Deer where she was vice principal for the past two years.
A Sylvan Lake resi-dent, Smith said she’s “blessed and excited” to be back in Sylvan Lake. “I’m part of the parish so have a connection with Father Gabriel.”
“I love the Sylvan Lake community, I’m so thankful to be back. It’s nice to be in my home community and not have to drive those roads.”
“As the new principal I’m trying to get as much knowledge as I can,
work with parents, stu-dents, teachers, the whole community.”
Smith expected her first day would involve unpacking boxes and meeting students while going room-to-room at the Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 2 school.
Smith’s post second-ary education includes a Bachelor of Education, French from Campus Saint-Jean at the University of Alberta, and a Masters in educa-tional leadership from Seattle University.

Sometimes, I spend so much time telling other peo-ple’s stories that I forget about those in my own fam-ily.
I spoke last week with Stuart Reitsma, a Korean war veteran, and Don Macrae, who lived in Britain as a child during the Second World War. Their stories had almost nothing in common, reflecting different perspec-tives during wartime, and very different wars. However, both were incredible stories.
Like every other Canadian, I studied the wars when I was in school. I read
about the battles, learned the dates, and watched movies about them. I memorized the words of “In Flanders Fields”.
It was one thing to read about the atrocities of war. It was another thing com-pletely to speak to a veteran who saw them with his own eyes, or to someone whose childhood included regular air raids.
My maternal grandfather is a veteran. He joined the Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He has a poppy on his license plate. A black-and-white
photo of him in his airman’s uniform hangs in his house, alongside a photo of his mar-riage to my grandmother, and photos of his grandchil-dren’s graduations.
I’ve never asked him about his experience, and now I wonder why. I only know he was 17 when he joined the air force, and that
he changed his birth cer-tificate so he could join.
My paternal grandfa-ther lived in Nazi-occupied Holland. In 1944, a large part of the country, including where he lived, was hit with a
famine. The Germans had cut off all food shipments to the area to punish the Dutch for not helping them with their war effort. My grandfa-ther nearly starved to death. In his own words, he could “play piano on my ribs”.
He immigrated to Canada after the war. Stacks of canned food fill his kitchen
cupboards, and he grows many fruits and vegetables in his backyard. He wastes no food, not even animal bones, which he boils to make soup stock.
I have never asked him about this period in his life. My knowledge of it comes from my father, who has a strong interest in our family history. Still, most of his interest involves generations that go further back than his own father.
Sometimes, the most obvious stories are the hard-est ones to see.
Reflections on a family’s war involvement AleishaBoschSylvan Lake News
It’s amazing the differ-ence a week makes in the life of Sylvan Lake.
The sun was shining and we were in pursuit of unique photos of the birds that were stopping on the lake before continuing their journey to southern climes.
The date was Sunday, Nov. 4. The lake was open and the water calm.
Thousands upon thou-sands of Canada Geese were making their presence known with their constant honking. Then there were white spots within some of the flocks. We spotted sev-eral pairs of tundra swans, the most photogenic at Petro Park on Sylvan Lake’s south-east side.
At the same location we found John Umlah and Dave Schirru preparing to set out in their kayaks for a tour of the lake. When we caught up to them again at the pier,
they joked that they might be the last boaters on the lake this season.
That appears to have become a fact. One week later, on Sunday, Nov. 11, the ice has stretched out consid-erably from shore and it’s questionable whether there’s any open water. It will take someone with better eyes and stronger binoculars that ours to make a certain deter-mination.
Yes, winter is upon us. While we may get a minor temperature reprieve this week, with the mercury climbing a degree or two above zero for daytime highs, there’s no doubt we’re in for several months of frigid tem-
peratures and the outdoor activities they bring.
Watching town crews clearing snow yesterday morning, we remembered back to a Letter to the Editor which appeared in our paper last December.
Eleven-year-old Nick Hellrud had what we thought was an excellent idea so we raise it here again hoping it attracts attention and action.
“I was hoping you would print my letter asking if when the town clears the snow from the lake skate rink if they would pile it up to make a toboggan hill next to it? I don’t think it would be much trouble and would be a lot of fun!,” he wrote.
We agree. It would be one more reason for youngsters and families to go to the lake for some recreational activi-ty. And while some siblings may want to skate or play shinny, others may be con-tent tobogganing down a hill.
Of course safety precau-tions would have to be taken and motorized traffic kept away from the bottom of the hill. But this is one idea that
just makes sense.Another idea that makes
sense in our mind is a clean-up of the proliferation of ser-vice club and organization signs that dot the posts enter-ing our community.
The town has spent con-siderable money trying to improve the aesthetics of Sylvan Lake, creating signs to direct people to various facilities, trying to project a consistent image.
We believe it’s time to consider a single large notice board at the entrances to town that could contain all those signs for clubs such as Scouts, Lions, Rotary, Legion, etc.
We’d go further as well. While it should be a town initiative to get the project off the ground, we think the service clubs would be happy to contribute money to the project since it will benefit them as well as the town.
Perhaps such a sign needs to also contain a town map — particularly since our town is growing and more and more names are being added to the lexicon of our streets instead of the logical
assembly of numbered streets and avenues that were so easy to follow. Adding a map might then require a turnout or rest stop area. This project could balloon to something more extensive. Is that what we want?
There’s currently a town map, but it’s located in the heart of town, beside the tourist information centre. Does that serve the travelling public looking for a specific location or have we pro-gressed to the point where GPS units are all that’s need-ed to find the house or busi-ness you’re seeking?
No matter the answer, cleaning up the variety of service club signs would be a good first step. Certainly, removing the ones that no longer exist would also be a good idea. We noticed a Kinsmen Club logo on a sign post on the west end of town but there hasn’t been a club in town during the nine years we’ve lived here.
Create a toboggan hill on the ice; clean up signs

Tundra swans - Several pairs of tundra swans were spotted resting at Petro Beach on Nov. 3. Others were spotted at various locations around the lake as they stopped on the migrations south.
Kayakers - John Umlah and Dave Schirru enjoyed the last of the open water while kayaking around the lake on Nov. 3. A week later the path of their travels was ice covered.

Sylvan Lake council-lors earmarked over $80,000 towards tourism strategies or tourism-related facilities during 2013 budget discussions, spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.
A tourism strategy and advertising campaign for Centennial Park and the Lakeshore area, at a combined cost of $27,500, initially received mixed reactions.
Councillor Dale Plante was enthusiastic, citing promotion of the town’s new parks as an area of importance.
“If there’s ever a time we should support tour-ism in Sylvan it’s now,” said Plante. “We’re look-ing at a tourism strategy to draw people to stay here for a week … We’ve been naive to think that people are going to come here just because we have a lake.”
Mayor Susan Samson agreed with Plante, citing the struggling downtown business area.
“I just don’t see tour-ism as being a big eco-nomic strategy … People
are going to come here whether we spend that money or not,” said Councillor Laverne Asselstine.
Another area of con-tention was the Beach Ambassador program. The town hired three summer students as Beach Ambassadors this sum-mer, at a cost of $40,000. They provided visitors with information about town events and busi-nesses, and were intended to spend most of their time patrolling the beach on foot.
“I think $40,000 is very high for what we’re getting,” said Plante, add-ing that the ambassadors spent most of the time in their hut instead of patrol-ling the beach. “I don’t think it served its purpose at all.”
Plante suggested hir-ing a mix of students and older workers to super-vise the students to ensure the job was properly done.
Other councillors, including Rick Grimson, were supportive of the ambassadors. Councillors decided to continue the program in 2013, with Samson requesting a review of their work at
the end of the year. Councillors budgeted
$25,000 towards adding sand to the beach corner at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and 49th Street, despite some wor-ries.
“I’m just really con-cerned that we might get mocked for building a sand box,” said Samson.
Asselstine noted how many people with chil-dren gravitate towards that beach corner, because it is the only section that slopes gradually into the water.
“Let’s make the area look good … I just think it’s a total go,” said Plante.
Other councillors were supportive, but more cau-tious. Some worried about the sand getting washed away during a rainy sum-mer.
“I don’t have a prob-lem with it. I don’t think it should be an ongoing expense, just try it once,” said Grimson.
In recognition of the town’s centennial year, councillors set aside $30,000 towards a new town parade float. The current float is in disre-pair, but some councillors were hesitant about the
cost. “I think the float is a
misuse of funds at that amount,” said Plante. He proposed a media cam-paign, in addition to the beach sand, as better ways of celebrating the town’s
centennial. “This is the kind of money that can go a lot farther, as far as I’m concerned, than sitting in some stagnant float … I’m in favour of the float, but I’m not in favour of the amount of the float.”
Councillors decided to keep the float, at the full cost, in the budget after communications officer Joanne Gaudet said the float would be used for many years.
Money planned for tourism promotion, beach sand, fl oat

Budget 2013
by Aleisha BoschSylvan Lake News
Sylvan Lake council-lors proposed a 2.4 per cent property tax rate increase for the 2013 bud-get, following more than 12 hours of discussion spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.
Many owners will see a 1.3 per cent increase in their taxes because prop-erty values have declined since 2012, said Darren Moore, Sylvan Lake’s director of finance.
The increase translates to around $21.50 extra taxes for average property owners in 2013. There will also be a $72 water and sewer rate increase, and a $2.40 cardboard recycling green box fee increase.
The property tax increases will bring the
town an additional $381,000 in revenue.
There will be no change to the recreation levy, which will continue to add $400,000 annually to the town’s funds.
Most recreational facilities will have no increase to user fees, as detailed in a presentation by Ron Lebsack, director of recreation, parks and culture. He proposed increasing swim lesson costs and program fees at the aquatic centre, but suggested no change to drop-in admission rates.

Sylvan Lake council-lors heard a number of propositions for trans-portation service improvements during 2013 budget discus-sions, spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3. Transportation services account for 55 per cent of public works depart-
ment expenses. Sylvan Lake Family
and Community Centre parking lot will receive improvements in 2013, with the second part of a tri-phase reconstruc-tion plan. The first stage was completed in 2012.
Next year a section of the parking lot will be rebuilt and repaved, and the sidewalk at the entrance will be replaced at an estimated cost of
$420,000. The third phase of
the project is planned for 2014, with the addi-tion of a new storm sys-tem, concrete medians, greenery, and repainted
street lights. A section of the parking lot will also be designated for RVs, and a new trail will connect 43rd Street to Four Seasons Park.
Councillors also added $250,000 to the budget for increasing downtown parking, with 40 new stalls to the side of 49th Street.
“It’s been said that we would address a parking problem, but we don’t have a ready solution,” said Mayor Susan Samson.
Councillor Ken MacVicar questioned whether increased park-ing would benefit the area outside the sum-mer tourist season.
“We’ve got to find something to offset what we did at the marina,” said Councillor Dale Plante, citing the loss of public parking in the area.
Councillors budget-
ed $15,000 for seven new signs at the 60th Street entrance, 60th Street and 48th Avenue, and Memorial Trail. The signs will direct visitors to town services.
Following a presen-tation by John Watson, public works manager, a combined total of $700,000 was included as a capital project for a new garbage collection vehicle and specialized garbage bins. The new vehicle would be fully automated, and would lift and dump the gar-bage without workers having to do the work themselves. The new vehicle would improve efficiency, with up to 160 collections per hour, and reduce staff inju-ries.
“I really feel it’s the way of the future,” said Watson.

Sylvan Lake coun-cillors included new parks staff and park improvements in the 2013 budget, following discussions spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.
Ron Lebsack, direc-tor of leisure and pro-tective services, pro-posed increasing staff to maintain service lev-els. The new positions will include one full-time parks operator, a part-time landscape gardener, and two sea-sonal parks operators. The additions will cost a combined total of $103,300.
“I think they’re being frugal in what they’re asking for in terms of number of staff,” said Mayor Susan Samson.
Councillor Graham Parsons also supported the staff additions.
“I just know that the recreation department and what they have to look after this coming year is significant,” said Parsons.
Councillor Laverne Asselstine did not agree with the additions, cit-ing the slower economy as a reason to hold back from hiring new work-ers.
“Our projection for the next year or even two years is that we’re going to continue to grow … It’s naive to think that we can man-age on the same num-ber of staff,” said Councillor Dale Plante.
Councillor Rick Grimson agreed with Plante, and said the new additions were a necessary expense.
“The staff in any business, they’re the most valuable asset we have … You start chin-zing on staff, you might as well save money some place else,” said Grimson.
Improvements to three parks were included in the budget. The bathroom in Lion’s
Park will be relocated, and the gazebo remod-elled to match the new town hall. Four Seasons Park will receive upgrades to their storm drainage system, signs, and chain link fencing. Railway Park’s mulch will be replaced with grass to reduce mainte-nance work.

Sylvan Lake coun-cillors have set aside more than $11 million for capital projects next year, following budget discussions spread over Oct. 30 and 31, and Nov. 3.
Most prominent among them is the con-struction of a new fire hall, at a cost of $3.8 million.
Another major proj-ect involves a section of
47A Avenue that will be resurfaced, and new curb, gutter, and side-walk built, at a cost of $1 million.
A number of proj-ects are planned to improve utility services. For $2.2 million, the capacity of the main trunk line for the waste water lagoon will be increased, which receives waste from part of the town.
Other utility capital projects include reloca-tion of the RV septic
dump station at a cost of $300,000, with two main options proposed. The first, along Jarvis Bay Drive just north of Lakeshore Drive and 33rd Street, offers ade-quate stacking room, easy access, and nearby water and sewer facili-ties, but no street light-ing.
“Is that really what we want to do, have light industrial up against residential? We’ll get it in the ear for that,” said Mayor Susan
Samson. Councillor Sean
McIntyre suggested planting trees in the area to shield residents from the new develop-ment.
The second location, near the waste water lagoon off Sylvaire
Close, offers easy access, nearby water and sewer facilities, and adequate lighting, but limited stacking room.
Both locations have a proposed fee for use. No decision has yet been made about the relocation, as the proj-ect will be funded from reserves.
The waste water lagoon has excessive ammonia levels, so $530,000 has been ear-marked to upgrade its ammonia treatment
facilities. A new one-ton gar-
bage truck will be pur-chased for the town’s parks, to increase gar-bage collection service to three times a day along Lakeshore Drive and Centennial Park. The truck will cost $45,000. Ron Lebsack, director of leisure and protective services, said park workers have found lots of food-related garbage on the beach during the day.
“I think that’s just the nature of a tourist town,” said Samson.
Councillors rem-
oved a proposal to install traffic lights at the corner of 47th Avenue and Herder Drive from next year’s capital projects, amid concerns that the new lights would slow traf-fic flow along 47th Avenue, a much-used route.
“Let’s trash it,” said Councillor Rick Grimson.
Councillor Dale Plante suggested defer-ring the project for a year, and looking at how the opening of Memorial Trail affects traffic patterns.

Dear Editor,I have often written to
you about a complain. This time it is for a thank you to the town hall employees.
With 1913-2013 days coming, I, as a member of the Sylvan Lake Seniors, wondered what we could do to make Sylvan Lake a better place.
I wondered if we had a bicycle lock-up near the centre on 50th, that some seniors could bike to the centre, have a coffee or soup or play cards or Wi or scrabble and be secure in their minds that their bikes are safely locked.
Upon looking at our centre, being as it is so close to the sidewalk, there was not much room to place a bike rack.
I went to see town hall about rules and regula-tions and requirements as I didn’t want to plan against town bylaws, etc. I
was referred to Mary. She told me that they were having a meeting the next day and she would try to get my questions answered. When I didn’t hear from her, I phoned again and she said that Rick was working on it.
Then a week later,
Mary phoned and said that the town has found a bike rack that has yet to be placed and will place it in the parking lot by the mermaid. Three weeks later, there it was!
It is not bike season but I know once the weather changes, the bike
rack will be used, not only by the seniors but by citi-zens going to town hall, or to Community Partners, Art Gallery and the church on the corner.
Thank you for the quick results.
Vernie Munroe,Sylvan Lake
Thanks town for the quick results
Dear Editor,After following Sylvan
Lake’s elected legislatures now for several years deal with the main streets, major intersection and finally the total blockage to through traffic. And see this done against the continuous protests of Sylvan Lake residents.
This all leading many otherwise law abiding people into illegal U turns. Can you imagine the B train driver for whatever reason is driv-
ing south faces the block-ade at Highway 11. Turning west he faces the choice of going back through Sylvan traffic or going many miles out of his way on secondary roads. The illegal U turn appears to be his best option if he thinks he can do it.
I will not go into the devastation here of down town this intersection may be causing.
The Sylvan Lake elect-ed officials may have the
legacy of making some good changes to Sylvan Lake but the facts are their “totally stupid inter-section” decision on their watch will be their final legacy. Absolutely noth-ing else will be remem-bered. But there is time yet to change.
In the words of Ronald Regan to Mikhail Gorbachev “tear down this wall”.

The Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph was carried out this year under ideal weather conditions. There was a good turn out, Veterans from Red Deer joining their Sylvan Lake comrades in the parade, which included the Air Cadets, I.O.D.E., and
Girl Guides.Service at the Cenotaph was con-
ducted by Rev. Ian MacSween. Trumpeter C. S. Palmer sounded Last Post and Reveille. Major R. C. Lister, M.C., gave a talk on Remembrance Day observance. After the service Major Lister took the salute as the parade left the Cenotaph. Mayor Duffield thanked the organizations which participated in the parade for the smart turn out.
The Vets enjoyed dinner at Sylvan Lake hotel after the service.

Dear Editor,Mayor Samson should go light-
ly on comments about Sylvan Lake’s glass “definitely being half full”. (Mayor encourages crowd to embrace change; SLN, Nov 1).
If the mayor says the glass is half full she also declares it half empty. There’s not much to brag about in being in the middle of a continuum. If Sylvan Lake is nei-ther a generally wonderful nor generally deplorable place then words like ‘tepid’ and ‘blah’ cap-ture its spirit. To think the mayor delivered a motivational speech extolling ‘blah!’
As for glasses half full, the mayor has presided over the town’s descent from being a once vibrant, attractive, glass-mostly-full place to live and play, to the current
dispirited town confused about its current identity and direction.
The implied flip side of the mayor’s glass-half-full analogy is that people who disagree with her and council’s ideas are members of the glass-half-empty crowd; ornery, sour sorts who see only negatives in life. That may be the mayor’s distorted thinking but it’s not reality. Safe to say most resi-dents of Sylvan Lake are desperate to find good things to say about many of council’s policies and programs. It’s a challenge.
In fairness public angst spills beyond town limits to areas of provincial jurisdiction that never-theless impact the citizens of Sylvan Lake; things relevant to the discussion because of council’s complicity in provincial decisions.
The Hwy. 11-781 and Memorial Trail fiascos are cases in point.
Determining who is most accountable for the hare-brained decision to implement right in - right out design at the Hwy. 11-781 intersection is maddening. Two things are clear however: Alberta Transportation authorized and constructed it, and town council either actively requested the design, or tacitly accepted it. The multi-million dollar Memorial Trail and associated intersections are costly new infrastructure requirements flowing from the intersection ‘solution’. Public anger at both Alberta Transportation and town council is understand-able and justified, and much, much too polite!
Back within town limits, suc-
cessive councils sacrificed having a dynamic town business core for the seductive lure of inviting box stores and their bulging tax reve-nues. As a result the downtown business core is nearly dead with little immediate relief in sight. The soulless box stores sit either in soulless isolation or soulless clus-ters on the east side of town, siphoning local money into national and multinational com-pany coffers.
Beach access from 34 St. to 44 St. along Lakeshore Drive — about half of the total — has been all but eliminated due to removal of park-ing and installation of retaining walls. Bad enough that council installed grotesquely inappropri-ate speed bumps on Lakeshore Drive; it now fails to make the
road contractor correct excessive slopes on some bumps. What a negative message irregular road construction must make on visi-tors ‘ambushed’ by unexpected variations.
Citizens read of building and development regulations tortu-ously bent to either accommodate or thwart one developer or anoth-er. The current condominium and marina project seems to be an example, among others, of heroic accommodation.
Mayor Samson may be satis-fied with a cup-half-full but citi-zens are left wanting.

A challenge to fi nd good things to say about council’s policies, programs
by Aleisha BoschSylvan Lake News
When École Mother Teresa Catholic School Principal Rob Maloughney’s last day was announced last Thursday following the school’s Remembrance Day assembly, a chorus of no’s filled the gym-nasium.
“I will truly miss
coming to Mother Teresa, although I don’t think I’ll miss the drive,” said Maloughney, who lives in Red Deer.
A student from each class came forward and presented him with a gift. Some students hugged him.
Maloughney had been at the school for four full years, and was partly through his fifth when he accepted a
position as principal of St. Teresa of Avila School in Red Deer.
The offer resulted from the resignation of a superintendent from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools.
“As they fill the posi-tion it’s the domino ef fec t ,” said Maloughney, who has known about the change for three weeks.
Maloughney is
happy to be going to St. Teresa, where he has worked before, but said he will miss Mother Teresa.
“It’s such a vibrant school,” said Maloughney. He added that the school’s French and English programs, in addition to its com-bination of elementary and junior high educa-tion, contributed to its atmosphere.
He will especially miss the school’s staff and students. He describes the staff as “phenomenal”, citing their willingness to take on extra work to make up for the school’s small
size.“They just teach
more core curriculum, because they need to,
and yet they’ve never complained,” said Maloughney, adding that less busy staff often help their overbur-dened co-workers. “I’ve never seen a staff that has been so willing to step in and support their staff mates.”
After the news was announced, many stu-dents presented their own goodbye gifts to Maloughney.
“When you have students come up and parents come up, that’s what makes it tough,” he said.
Maloughney started his new job Tuesday. Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic School Principal Dorice Swensrude will take over as principal of Mother Teresa.
“There’s so much to do that I haven’t really had time to sit down and think about it,” said Maloughney. “It just feels like there’s things that need to be done and I want to be here to do them.”
Teacher Lisa Alford has known Maloughney since he started at Mother Teresa.
“It’s been a blessing to have him here,” said Alford, citing his care for staff, passion for education, and the value he places on each student.
Alford also said Maloughney takes time to talk and high five students in the hall, and shows faith in the staff by allowing them to create their own cur-riculum.
“He’s had a tremen-dous influence on the school in terms of par-ent contact,” said Alford, adding that Maloughney makes the parents a part of their child’s education.
Grade 6 students Keara Keaton and Lauren Nielson said they are sad to see Maloughney leaving, and mentioned his jokes and sense of humour.
“We’ll miss him,” said Nielson.

Dancers from Sylvan Studio have started fundraising so that approximately 50 of them can learn and dance at Disney World.
The age range of the dancers is from age seven to 17. They are all very dedi-cated and passionate about their chosen sport. They are all a team and help each other to learn and to grow as dancers. All of these dancers are so excited at the new opportunity that is being presented to them.
They are going to dance in Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park to “Dancing in The Street” alongside many other dancers from other parts of Canada, Mexico and the United States. These dancers will also be given classes at Disney Dance School and receive instruction and learning time with some of the amazing chorographers and dancers within the Disney cast.
The dancers will be treated as Disney cast members for the time they are at Disney World. It is such an amazing
experience for these children. Who knows, some day when you travel to Disney World Florida you might even see a local Sylvan Laker within the danc-ing cast, doing what they love.
We are looking for support in several aspects of this Disney World - Dance The World tour. We are hosting a Christmas Bazaar & Craft Show with a silent auction on Nov. 17 at Sylvan Studio (31 Cuendet Industrial Way). The danc-ers, and their families, are helping with the set up and cleaning. Local businesses interested in setting up a table to sell their wares may contact Tami Lindstrand at 403-887-6621 for more information.
The dancers are also currently selling poinsettias for Christmas. They are to be delivered the beginning of December to Sylvan Studio. Please consider buying your Christmas poinsettias from some of our dancers this season.
We are hoping many local businesses would consider helping provide us with a silent auction item to help the dancers achieve their goal of dancing on the streets of Disney.
The dancers and their families par-ticipated in a bottle drive in October, it was a fun night had by all! Thank you to all who supported the dancers with your bottle donations.
Each child needs to raise approxi-mately $1,800 in order to go. This will cover flights, hotel, costumes. They will be covering their food and any incidental purchases. These children, and their families, are very excited and ready to work very hard to achieve their goal.
This is the first time these local danc-ers have had the opportunity to travel internationally to show the world what wonderful kids they are, both on and off the stage.
Sylvan Studio has been operating in Sylvan Lake for over 25 years. They promise to be great ambassadors of their town, province and country, and to show the world that Sylvan Lake, Alberta has some amazing children and families.

A life membership in the Royal Canadian Legion was presented to Comrade Norman J. Salive during a Veterans’ luncheon and honours and awards ceremony at the Sylvan Lake branch, last Thursday which was attended by about 45 people.
Salive enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces in 1942 at the age of 17 years and served in England and France. He was wound-ed in France and subse-quently discharged in 1946 as a consequence of his injury.
He joined the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League (B.E.S.L.), the forerunner to the Royal Canadian Legion, in 1957 as a member of
Tilbury, Ontario Branch No. 206 and has main-tained his membership in the Legion through the succeeding 55 years.
In 1997 Salive trans-ferred his membership to Sylvan Lake Branch No. 212. Here he served as a member of the executive committee, the colour party, volun-teered extensively at branch functions, in branch operations, Legion sports and all aspects of the Poppy campaign. He was twice presented with Letters of Commendation for his branch involve-ment.
In 2011 the branch presented Salive with a Certificate of Merit and the Branch Service Medal in recognition of his contributions.
Salive participated in the 50th and 65th
anniversaries for the liberation of Holland during trips overseas.
“At the age of 88,
declining health, and injuries as a conse-quence of his military service, are limiting his
Legion participation to activities such as school visitations during the Remembrance Period, participating in Remembrance Day ser-vices, attending mili-tary anniversaries, gen-eral meetings and branch social func-tions,” said President Steve Dills, while mak-ing the presentation.
During the event a number of other volun-teers were recognized with honours.
Comrade Reta Coubrough was pre-sented with a Branch Service Medal in recog-nition of her contribu-tion to the branch in the form of volunteer hours far in excess of any formal position held within the branch.
Certificates of Merit were presented to Ladies’ Auxiliary mem-bers Dorothy Boomer, Evelyn Crawford, Kathie Duncan, Joyce Ilcisin, Muriam Jaffray
and Thelma Pauquette.Certificates of
Appreciation were pre-sented to Comrades Durward Duncan, Gerald Jaffray, and Madames Kathie Duncan, Bonnie Olson, Wanda Olson, Gil Pubanz and Marie Schlahs.
A Past Office Medal with Membership Bar was presented to mem-bership chairperson Darcee Medin.

A five bay commer-cial building at the cor-ner of Hinshaw and Herder accounted for more than half of the total construction per-mitted in October.
The building is the second for the complex on the south side of Herder Drive which currently houses a Fas Gas gas bar, conve-nience store and the Last Chance Liquor Store. Its construction is valued at $1,113,750, according to month-end statistics released
by the town Monday.Among the 19 per-
mits issued during the month were three for new single family homes in Ryders Ridge and one for a single family home comple-tion on Hodgstreet Place. Those four per-mits total led $791,612.72 of the month’s tally of $2,050,992.72. The same month last year saw a total of almost $4 million permitted.
Other permits issued in October were for detached garages (4), sheds (2), basement developments (2), hot tubs (2), a wood stove, a covered deck, a demo-lition and a change in
use to permit a social care facility.
To date in 2012, per-mits have been issued for 72 single family homes, down from 85 issued in the same 10 months last year. However, Sylvan Lake’s residential totals were boosted in 2012 by per-mits for 88 units in multi-unit residential buildings compared to 18 in 2011.
The pace of con-struction continues to remain about 50 per cent above the previous year’s tally with almost $45.2 million started this year compared to just over $30 million started last year.

Permit issued for five bay commercial building at Hinshaw and Herder

Sylvan Lake Admirals travelled to the Stony Plain Eagles barn to determine 4th place in the Chinook Hockey League, Saturday.
Both teams have struggled with the loss of key players this season and both teams were winless in their first four games.
The Admirals have been improving each game, as new players are added to the lineup, filling in the missing pieces to the puzzle.
Just as the Admirals thought they had the right ingredients to mount a 60 minute effort, the Remembrance Day long weekend saw five players scratched from the lineup with work commitments, two suspeneded and two more deciding to hang up their skates from AAA hockey.
Senior hockey can be fickle at times as you are at the mercy of jobs and commit-ments far beyond the dressing room. Be that as it may, games need to be played, teams need to be iced and this game was no excep-tion. Put together the best you have and play the game with heart.
There was nothing smooth about the game from the drop of the puck. Normal crisp passes were off the mark, either too far behind or too far ahead. Neither the Admirals nor Stony Plain Eagles seemed to be able to find the right gear and the Eagles scored first at the 10:15 mark, having outshot the
Admirals 9-4 to that point. The Admirals were not really being out-
played but were giving up the puck on errant passes and losing any chances of keeping the pressure on. To complicate things even more, a head check to defenseman Barrett Brook took him out of the game at 8:87 and the ensuing heated scrum left Cody Esposito with a minor and a 10 minute misconduct. The already short bench of 15 got real short as only three defensemen were left on the bench.
Even short, the Admirals began to find a bit of a groove and the speed of Jeff Young, along with the aggressive checking of Brendan Baumgartner, had the Eagles flus-tered. That combination soon had control of the puck and Jeff Young made no mistake burying a crisp pass from Brendan Baumgartner and Kurtis Ross at 4:47.
The period ended tied 1-1 and the Admirals outshooting the Eagles 15-14.
The second period seemed to begin as a repeat of the first and the Admirals were flat footed and sloppy. More turnovers and poor decisions had the Eagles in control and they took full advantage, taking a 2-1 lead at the 18:37 mark.
Once again the Admirals were outshot 6-1 in the early going of the second before finding wind in their sails and turning it around.
The Eagles didn’t help their cause when they got caught with too many men, giving
the Admirals their second power play oppor-tunity of the game. This time the Admirals were patient and moved the puck with authority, looking for the opening. D man Curt Leinweiber found the mark at 12:42 from Turner Lachance and Kurtis Ross, tying the game.
The Eagles got in penalty trouble again at 11:20 and the Admirals quickly capitalized at 10:53 when Paul Maily banged it home from Brendan Baumgartner. Admirals were now skating hard and although the game was sloppy for both teams, the Admirals held the edge with their speed and aggres-sive forechecking.
Dividends quickly came their way as Brandon Knelsen drilled one between the pipes at 9:36 with assists going to Travis McMillan and Paul Mailey. The Eagles nar-rowly escaped another Admirals’ power play at 8:13 before once again putting themselves in the hole with a tripping call at 4:52. This time there was no escape as the Admirals power play was clicking and Cody Esposito, from the point, rifled home a laser, top cor-ner, just inside the post, on a pass from Turner Lachance at 4:14.
The period ended with the Admirals leading 5-2 and shots in their favour 18-14.
At the start of the third is was apparent the Eagles hadn’t given up just yet and they turned up the heat.
The Admirals were tiring and simple mistakes were being made. They managed to

Sylvan Lake Nauticals enjoyed another stellar weekend of competition with nine swimmers accompanied by coaches Trevor and Sharon Burns at the 24th Silver Tide Poppy Meet.
The weekend started with the singing of O Canada followed by a minute of silence in respect of Remembrance Day.
From Coach Sharon’s group, Stephanie Vetter (10) and Blake Carson (8) attended and had an amazing weekend.
In the 8 and under category Blake took a combined total of 15.19 seconds off during his races. He placed fifth in 25m freestyle and third in 25m butterfly.
Stephanie achieved her first B time in 100m freestyle and made it into finals where she placed eighth. In the seven races she swam she took a total of 1:00.83 seconds off and earned herself six best times.
Coach Trevor took seven of his senior swim-mers — Emily Girard (9), Zoe DeJonge (9), Elizabeth Moore (11),
Erin Matthews (13), Ann Duffy (13), Amber Carson (14) and Annika Vetter (14). Coaches Trevor and Sharon were totally impressed with their swimmer’s results and proud of them as they all had an excellent weekend.
Emily achieved her first B time in 50m free-style making finals and placing seventh over all for her age group. She achieved six best times out of seven swims tak-ing a combined total of 45.91 seconds off.
Zoe achieved seven out of seven best times taking a combined total of 1:13.63 seconds off during her races and placed sixth in the 200m freestyle.
Elizabeth once again had an incredible week-end getting personal best times in all of her swims. She took a combined total of 24.87 seconds off her swim times. She broke club records in the 50m backstroke, breast-stroke and butterfly and the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley, placing first in three of her races and second in the rest. Elizabeth swam her way to within 0.73 seconds of a National time in her
100m breast stroke, but did get her senior (17+) provincial A time.
Erin got seven out of seven best times and took a combined total of 26.46 seconds off in her swims. She made finals in her 50m freestyle placing seventh and was the first alternate in the 100m breaststroke.
Ann achieved five out of seven best times and took a combined total of 4.76 seconds off her races. During her 50m freestyle race she took and amazing 2.06 sec-onds off a very quick swim and was the first alternate in the 100m backstroke.
Annika achieved three best times and took a combined total of 7.35 seconds off her swims. She had an incredible 50m butterfly taking 3.46
seconds off and 3.7 sec-onds off in her 50m back-stroke. The shorter the race the harder it is to take large amounts of time off.
Amber was another one who broke many club records. They were: 100m freestyle and but-terfly, the 200m freestyle and individual medley, 400m freestyle and the 50m butterfly. In 100m
butterfly she also achieved a 15-16 year old provincial ‘A’ time. She placed second in the 100m butterfly, fourth in the 50m butterfly and sixth in the 400m free-style.
To sum it up the Nauticals had six out of nine kids make finals and two swimmers getting ‘B’ times, two getting ‘A’ times and one SO close to a national time as well as a total of 11 new club records. As a group they achieved 86 per cent average for getting per-sonal best times. That is an extraordinary number for the club and they should all be very proud of their performances.
Good luck to all swimmers who will be attending the Calgary Winter Cup at the Winter Club in Calgary November 24 and 25th.

Admirals hit win column with sloppy win over Eagles
Eleven club records broken, six of nine Nauticals made finals
Ann Duffy swimming her 50m freestyle. KIM MATTHEWS
hold their own through the first ten minutes, which included fending off a determined power play effort by the Eagles but another penalty at 10:03 wasn’t as successful and the Eagles scored at 9:39.
Play seemed to settle down and appeared to be equal in either end until Ernie Stewart found a burst of speed at the 7:46 mark. Taking a pass on the fly from Branden Gay and Cody Esposito, he blew past the surprised Eagles defense and backhanded a quick shot into the mesh, 6-3 Admirals.
It should have been over and it looked like it was all done with the Admirals battling off another penalty at the 5:55 mark but a determined Eagles bench saw it differently.
Taking advantage of the mental lapses and tired legs of the Admirals, who were down to 13 skaters since the 5:55 mark, the Eagles poured on their best effort of the game. Shots were flying from everywhere and the Admirals failed to clear the puck.
With 1:39 to go the Eagles struck to make it 6-4 and 43 seconds later, the Admirals defense got caught flat footed, giving up goal five to the Eagles.
The Admirals jolted back to reality and closed the game without further scoring.
Final score 6-5 Admirals and shots recorded 42-41 Admirals after having been outshot 14-8 by the Eagles in the third.
“Not a pretty win,” said Coach Jason Stephens. “It was ugly and rough, to say the least, but sometimes a win is a win and that’s all you can say for it, however it is definitely nice to get on the board and moving for-ward.
“Neither team played particularly well tonight and it was up for grabs as to who was going to take control. Fortunately our power play was clicking and our pen-alty kill was decent. Those two things alone made a big difference on the score sheet.
“We showed flashes of what we’re capable of doing and I hope that carries forward into the next game. We play Stony again at our barn and you can be assured they don’t want to go 0-6, so we’ll have our hands full. I think after this win our room will have a lot more motivation and we’ll have a full line up, so I’m confi-dent that if the boys play like they’re capable, we’ll be in good shape.”
Next home game is tomorrow (Friday) at the Sylvan Lake multiplex. Game time 8:30 p.m. against Stony Plain Eagles.

Cozy older home needs some work, but main oor has had recent updated paint, laminate, doors (baseboard and trim to be
nished). On a beautiful large lot (305x130) in Eckville. Landscaped with huge trees surrounding the property,
garden spot and ower beds galore. Back Alley access and zoned R2. The uses for this property are only limited to your imagination. The zoning is correct
for a many applications. More info available.
