Voices of Urgent Care Committee heard

Following a meeting held last Wednesday a joint task force with members from Sylvan Lake and surrounding communities and Alberta Health Services (AHS) will spend the next three months fi nalizing a sustainable go-forward plan for after-hours urgent care.

The task force will include staff and physicians from AHS and the community’s Primary Care Network, mem-bers of the town’s Urgent Care Committee, and repre-sentatives of the Town of Sylvan Lake and surrounding communities.

“I’m pleased there is a commitment to fi nalizing a model and moving to implementation,” said Susan Samson, Chair of the Urgent Care Committee. “This is a signifi cant milestone in addressing the number one priority for Sylvan Lake and area.”

Mayor of Sylvan Lake, Sean McIntyre, agreed the for-mation of the task force was a very positive development for the community.

“Sylvan Lake and our surrounding area has a diverse population, many of which are young families,” said Mayor McIntyre. “It is vital that residents and visitors have access to urgent care outside normal business hours and we appreciate the willingness to work to-wards a solution in the very near term.”

By September 30, the task force will present its recom-mended solution to provide urgent after-hours care to the Minister of Health, Sarah Hoffman.

Minister Hoffman thanked Mayor McIntyre, the Urgent Care Committee, physicians in the Wolf Creek Primary Care Network and leaders from around the region for partnering with AHS and the government to fi nd a solu-tion for after-hours care in Sylvan Lake.

Task force to draft Sylvan Lake after-hours urgent care plan in 90 daysBY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

“By working together we now have a clear plan with a clear timeline to address the community’s health needs,” said Minister Hoffman.

Dr. Verna Yiu, President and CEO of AHS, the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering

health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta, stated the organiza-tion is committed to working with the community to de-velop a health care solution that works for Sylvan Lake.

The Sylvan Lake and Area Urgent Care Committee was awarded the Healthy Communities Initiative Cup at the 2016 Volunteer Gala and Awards earlier this year.

“We understand clearly that there is a need for after-hours care, and together, we will make this happen,” said Dr. Yiu.

Previously in Sylvan Lake, physi-cians from the Wolf Creek Primary Care Network (PCN) have provided after-hours care on an as-needed basis from their offi ces.

This practice became unsustainable as the community grew and this June, medi-cal practitioners stopped offering the ser-vice. Anyone needing urgent after-hours care has needed to travel to nearby emer-gency departments if they were unable to be seen at the PCN or in their homes.

The task force will explore options on how to deliver after-hours urgent care, along with supporting lab and diagnostic services.

Don MacIntyre, MLA for Innisfail-Sylvan Lake stated he was very pleased with how local offi cials were received by the government offi cials during last week’s meeting.

“I was grateful they were clearly heard, clearly understood and that the urgency of the need was acknowledged,” said MLA MacIntyre. “The second thing I was happy about was that there was an ac-knowledgment on the part of both Dr. Yiu and Deputy Health Minister Dr. Carl Amrhein of the hard work and the per-

sistence that the Urgent Care Committee and the community as a whole have put into this over the years - that I was very happy to hear.”

MacIntyre also noted the 90-day dead-line adding that although it may look rather “tight and ambitious” it is not in-surmountable.

“So much work has already been done, we’re not starting from ground zero here – the Urgent Care Committee has a fully fl eshed out plan already,” said MacIntyre. “We are so far along in the process al-ready that September is not that unrea-sonable of a timeline.”

Within the meeting, some of the chal-lenges that lay ahead were verbalized, explained MacIntyre with fi nancial chal-lenges being at the forefront.

“It’s not going to be without challenges – just like anything else,” said MacIntyre. “However, the Urgent Care Committee had taken these sort of fi nancial chal-lenges into account the last iteration of their proposal so it is not new news.”

Subsequent meetings will be held throughout the next 90 days and the task force will explore options on how to de-liver after-hours urgent care, along with supporting lab and diagnostic services. A preferred option will be put forward no later than September 30.

Garbage In, Garbage OutGood daily habits lead to good feelings

I remember back in Junior High School, learn-ing how to program com-puters – and GIGO was a very established saying. It basically meant that if you programmed in garbage, then all you got out, was garbage. Simple but true, and it essentially said: ‘It’s your fault if this doesn’t work, computers just do what they are told’. I re-alize a lot these days that this is so true of many things in life and we seem to not realize it.

It’s easy to compare this to nutrition: if you eat low quality garbage food, you get low energy, poor metabolism, sickness and problems. Yes, I know, you know a guy who eats garbage, never exercises, smokes, drinks, and has abs and is lean. Great. One guy. He’s not healthy (guar-anteed) and look…. Let’s talk about the rest of us ok? The millions. Garbage in, garbage out. For our cheat meal on Saturday, we decided to have a pizza. It had been months, and we thought it would be fun. It was yummy, but my ener-gy was low and I felt gross much of today. Garbage in, garbage out. When I get back to eating well, I feel better. Proven over and over again.

Here’s another take on this though, and one not so obvious.

I had surgery on Thursday and had all the metal parts removed from the repair for my accident in November. Although I am sore, I already feel so much better to have the

metal out! My Doctor told me to take it easy and rest for a few days, and while I still did too much, I managed some couch time. I watched TV, and I don’t tend to do that a lot, but here’s where I got the idea for this article. Most of what is on TV is garbage. It’s brain poison. Shows that were on, and shows that were advertised are so often fear based on conspiracy theory, violence and hatred. With that sort of garbage going in, only garbage can come out. So many of them are about crime, mistrust, hatred, anger, abuse etc. With that sort of mental condition-ing, society can only de-grade.

Here’s the thing: TV is hypnosis. Proven psycho-logical fact. Once we start watching TV, our mind slips into a brainwave state called ‘alpha state’ which is associated with medita-tion and deep relaxation. Partly this is believed to be caused by the light of the TV itself and the brain pro-cessing the lines of infor-

mation. In this state, what-ever information we re-ceive is taken in easily and becomes part of our con-scious and subconscious memory system. This is where beliefs are formed. So it seems like we are watching programming, but we are actually being programmed. Beyond studying this, I have seen this in my four year old personally. He doesn’t get much of a TV budget, and we are pretty clear about what he sees and does not see at this young age. Franklin the Turtle, Paw Patrol, Octonauts, and a few select others that have good lessons, friendly characters and show the best in things. Here’s what I have already seen: When I come home from work and he is not watching TV, he runs to the front door yelling excited facts about the day and yelling: Daddy! Daddy! I saw a bug today and you know what……? etc. It’s consistent and de-pendable. If I come home and say hello and nobody comes running, I know

where he is: in front of a screen. Doesn’t matter if it is a TV, computer or tablet. He doesn’t even look up to notice me. He is being hypnotized and not aware of his surroundings. I am not saying TV is bad, it has its place, but choose what you watch carefully. I am a big fan of the Walking Dead, so I’ve got a range too, but predominantly I try to watch things that make me excited to be alive. America’s Got Talent, The Ellen Show, Extreme Home Makeover, Home Improvement shows, (and I only watch the ones where people are nice to each other – some are just trash with a house theme). No… I do not watch the news. It mostly has such a negative focus, and I don’t want that poison in my head. Yes. I understand, bad stuff happens in the world, but I focus on creating good stuff, and you know what? There’s more good than bad in this world if you look for it.

Happy Training!Scott

Black Lives Matter and the policeYou can feel sympathy for both

Our neighbors to the south are facing a crisis of identity.

On July 5, a 37-year-old black male, Alton Sterling, was shot and killed by two white police offi cers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This event set off a series of pro-tests – the vast majority of which were peaceful demonstrations – throughout the United States.

Unfortunately, and tragically, one of these demonstrations in Dallas Texas ended with the mur-der of fi ve police offi cers, who were shot while trying to protect the protestors right to assemble. Let it be clear that the majority of protestors in Dallas and across the United States were showing their rights as free citizens to assemble and protest and did not resort to violence.

The fact that some, very mis-guided and criminal individuals did resort to violence has creat-

ed an ongoing media dialogue on the movement of Black Lives Matter (BLM) – which is a move-ment based on the assumption that the negative experiences of African-Americans with police of-fi cers from the United States is not equal to that of white people.

It can be easy to dismiss the African-American experience in the US, like when for-mer New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the Black Lives Matter Movement is “in-herently racist” because it doesn’t say all lives matter, however that attempt of inclusivity rings a lit-tle hollow considering that Black America is still recovering and in some cases living in a system of racism that has been spurred on since the slave trade of the 18th

century.According to Black Lives Matter

co-founder Alicia Garza, in an interview to CNN’s Don Lemon: “Racism is a system – its not about people being mean to each other. So when we have a system that has black people at the losing end of every single disparity that you

can think of, that’s what racism is.”

This of course doesn’t justify vi-olence of any kind - something the organizers of Black Lives Matter make

very clear – however it does show a disturbing divide between black and white in America and it also brings up a confusing pattern of thought.

Why must an American be pro-BLM and anti-police? Or why must an American be pro-police and

anti-BLM? The answer isn’t binary.Reasonable people can feel sym-

pathy for the African-American experience in the United States. Reasonable people can be con-cerned about issues of police brutality against certain minori-ty groups. Reasonable people can know that violence against police offi cers – people just doing their job to protect people – is wrong. None of these ideas are mutually exclusive and it is important for people to not always feel the need to pick sides.

It is important for the United States to end instances of police brutality, while at the same time it is important for people to con-tinually honour good police offi -cers who do a diffi cult job every day, and it is important for peo-ple to work together to heal the deep racial wounds that infect the American experience.

MARKET UPDATEJune sales in Sylvan Lake were steady when compared to May, but still well below where they were a year ago. The number of active listings crept up again this month and is now equal to the peak number from last year. The trend in Red Deer is back to a balanced market which should have a positive impact on Sylvan Lake going forward, also helped by more stable energy prices.The median sale price for central Alberta recovered a little in the 2nd quarter and is now back to where it was at the peak in 2007. That means that in the 2nd quarter of 2016, when considering all the sales in Red Deer, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Ponoka, Blackfalds, Penhold and Innisfail, the sales price with an equal number of sales higher and an equal number lower moved up a little to $312,900 from $308,000 in the 1st quarter of 2016.Median price is used to defi ne trends only. An upward movement in the median price doesn’t necessarily mean that the price of an individual home went up. It more likely means that there were more sales in the higher price ranges. We have seen strong activity at the high end of the price spectrum in some markets this year. It is not possible to broadly defi ne an exact percentage increase or decrease in prices for the overall market because every price range and every market is a little different based on the supply of active listings relative to the demand. Ask your local RE/MAX Associate for specifi c market advice for your property.Call us for detailed market information for Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, Blackfalds, Lacombe or Ponoka.

In a letter to his friends, hymn writer Wendell P. Loveless related this story: One evening a speaker who was visiting the United States wanted to make a telephone call. He entered a phone booth, but found it to be diff erent from those in his own country. It was beginning to get dark, so he had diffi culty fi nding the number in the directory. He noticed that there was a light in the ceiling, but he didn’t know how to turn it on. As he tried again to fi nd the number in the fading twilight, a passerby noted his plight and said, “Sir, if you want to turn the light on, you have to shut the door.” To the visitor’s amazement and satisfaction, when he closed the door, the booth was fi lled with light. He soon located the number and completed the call.In a similar way, when we draw aside in a quiet place to meditate on God’s word and to pray, we must block out our busy world and open

our hearts to the Father. Our darkened world of disappointments and trials will then be illuminated. We will enter into communion with God, we will sense His presence, and we will be assured of His provision for us. Our Lord often went to be alone with the Heavenly Father. Sometimes it was after a busy day of preaching and healing. At other times, it was before making a major decision (Luke 6:12).God love to see you contented, quiet, relaxed and at rest. He wants our souls to be refreshed and satisfi ed. Therefore, God, and this is the fi rst thing that the good shepherd does, will make you to lie down and be quiet. God will lead you beside the still waters. God said, “Be still and know that I am God.” That is why God wants us to be still: so that we know that God is God. Thereby, God restores our inner soul.

Sylvan Lake fi shermen

surprised by fl oat plane

Fishermen along the pier in Sylvan Lake had an unusu-al addition to their nightly cast out on Wednesday eve-ning as they arrived to fi nd a fl oatplane tied alongside the end of the pier.

With the pier located within Sylvan Lake Provincial Park, it wasn’t long before Alberta Parks offi cers Rowsell and Cornfi eld were on scene where they learned the Turbo Otter fl oatplane, piloted by Alex Lafortune and Jonathon Brunaau, had recently been sold and was on its way from Montreal to Seattle.

Lafortune explained they had left Winnipeg that morn-ing where they had contacted the Sylvan Lake RCMP prior to take off. RCMP had instructed them they would be able to dock the plane overnight at the Town dock, however they were unable to locate anything other than the pier during the intense storm taking place at the time of their arrival, which had left them circling in the air until they had nearly run out of fuel.

“This lake is the only lake close enough in proximity to fuel on our fl ight path, making it the only suitable place for us to stop on our way to Kamloops which is our next refueling location,” explained Lafortune, referring to Sylvan Lake’s close proximity to the Red Deer Airport.

The pair of pilots had planned to dock the plane over-night, rent a truck or fi nd assistance from a friendly local and make their way to the Red Deer Airport where they would need to fi ll a minimum of two drums of fuel in order to make it to Kamloops.

They admitted to the offi cers that it was indeed not the best plan, however it was their only option.

With refueling in the Provincial Park being out of the question and the aircraft almost completely out of fuel this left both the pilots and the parks offi cers at a loss of what to do next.

District Conservation Offi cer for the Alberta Parks Division out of Red Deer, Logan VanImshoot explained it was thanks to the kindness of one local stranger and fellow pilot that the young Quebecois travellers were able to safely make it back into the air.

“A member of the public came to their rescue, as far as also being a pilot and having private resources on Sylvan Lake that he was able to help out this passerby with,” explained Offi cer VanImschoot. “He just walked up and said you’re coming with me to the young men, had very little interaction with our offi cers and helped out in a very modest way.”

The fl oatplane along with LaFortune and Brunaau left Sylvan Lake before the sun had set that same day - sure-ly thankful for the help they had received from a fellow pilot.

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

Val and Chris Zbogar had a suprise at their usual fi shing location at the end of the pier in Sylvan Lake on Wednesday evening as there was a fl oat plane docked nearby. The plane didn’t bother the duo and they decided to fi sh away.

Pilots of the aircraft, Alex Lafortune and Jonathon Brunaau did not intend to dock the plane at the pier and were confused by the rain storm that left them circling in the air until they nearly ran completely out of fuel. They are thankful for the help from Sylvan Lakers.

Alberta Parks Offi cer Rowsell makes a phone call to deter-mine how best to handle the fl oat plane having docked at the pier along with support from Alberta Parks Offi cer Cornfi eld.

A large crowd had gathered around the fl oat plane the longer it sat at the pier. Eric Richard, who had planned to fi sh with a friend that evening was intrigued by the plane but added it meant they probably wouldn’t be catching much that night.

Town at ‘crisis point’ with wastewater lagoonsResidents asked to voluntarily limit water use

“We are at a crisis point in our community where we need everyone to work together to reduce our sewer fl ow,” Mayor Sean McIntyre said after an emergency meeting of Town Council. “It will help us avoid a major emergency.”

This crisis situation comes after the Town of Sylvan Lake was unable to perform its biannual release of treated effl uent into Cygnet Creek from its lagoons. The Town was unable to do so because of 2015 changes to Environment Canada Fisheries Act, which requires a fi sh lethality test to be below 50 per cent. The 96-hour test performed by the Town’s Public Works led to 2/3 failed tests with scores of 70, 100, and 40 per cent respectively, meaning that effl uent could not be released. If the Town were to ignore this Federal regulation, they could face prosecution that could include warnings, severe fi nes and even jail time.

As a result of this test, the town faces a capacity crisis.Director of the Town of Sylvan Lake Dave Brand pre-

sented to Council during the emergency session on Tuesday, July 12.

“We certainly have a crisis in our waste water treat-ment lagoon system, whereby we no longer have capac-ity,” he said. “A lot of that has to do with recent rainfall that has occurred, but also our inability to comply with new federal regulations that came into place in 2015 with respect to how the effl uent has an effect on fi sh populations.

“Council has approved some motions and have directed

staff to approach the provincial regulators.”Brand added that the Town’s administration, under

direction from Council, will seek expedited approvals on how to seek alternative solutions which will protect the environment during the release of the effl uent.• Several possible solutions to help avoid an environ-

mentally disastrous overfl ow or breach of the lagoons were moved by Council. These solutions are all being presented to Alberta Environment and Parks on July 13. Please take note that approval of these motions doesn’t guarantee that they will be used, and that a combination of these solutions will likely be neces-sary.Request a continuous discharge of effl uent until Nov. 30, 2016 into Cygnet Creek

• A temporary diversion of Sylvan Lake into Cygnet Creek to provide more water fl ow to properly dilute the effl uent

• The ability to irrigate surface lands to reduce effl uent into Cygnet Creek

• The ability to haul effl uent to the City of Red Deer Waste Water treatment facilities

• A written letter from the province in support of the Town’s discharge plan

• That a chemical stabilization treatment be consid-ered to help reduce the lethal effects of the affl uent

• To allow the use of the decommissioned Cell 6 lagoon to be used to temporarily store waste water

With these proposals being sent to the province, it is also important that Sylvan Lakers voluntarily limit their water use. A detailed plan will be released shortly, how-ever Mayor McIntyre did have a few suggestions to help alleviate this crisis situation.

“Well right now we are asking for the help of every

Sylvan Laker to do everything they can to reduce their sewage fl ow. That includes getting creative,” Mayor McIntyre said. “Small things like shutting off your water while you are brushing your teeth, but also turning off the water while you are in the shower and washing your dishes in a bowl and then dumping it outside.

He added it is the Town’s very last resort to allow an uncontrolled release of effl uent into the environment – something that not only would be disastrous environ-mentally, but also legally as well.

“The fi sheries act is very clear about jail times and fi nes and they can be quite extensive – hence why we have sought a legal opinion,” Brand said. “We need to do everything we can do to protect the environment because it is the right thing to do.”

He added that Sylvan Lake is not the only municipality in Central Alberta that has faced Federal prosecution for this issue and hopes that the Federal regulators will work alongside the town in order to “help us come in line with what the expectations are.”

He reinforced that if it does come to effl uent needing to be released into the environment, something that Council approved in order to avoid an uncontrolled in-frastructure breach, “we will do everything in our power to mitigate the effects of that.”

McIntyre added that “we absolutely don’t want that so we are looking for our residents to help in every way they can.”

Council did briefl y discuss with administration the need for a new long term waste-water management system, however such a large project would require years of planning and federal and provincial fi nancial support – making it irrelevant to the current crisis situation.

Sylvan Lake RCMP make three arrests

in stolen vehicle

incidentsOver the course of 48 hours on July 6 and 7 Sylvan Lake

RCMP were involved in two separate unrelated incidents involving stolen vehicles within the Town of Sylvan Lake.

The fi rst incident on Wednesday, July 6 occurred while RCMP were conducting an investigation on Sylvan Drive.

An observant member noted a suspicious vehicle around the corner on Parkland Drive that had sustained damage to the front driver’s side wheel. As members approached this vehicle and checked the plate on the motor vehicle database, the plate did not appear to match the vehicle it was currently on - a 2007 black Ford F350.

Upon seeing Sylvan Lake RCMP, a lone male occupant jumped into the driver’s seat and fl ed the scene. In doing so, the male purposely tried to hit the member who was now standing beside the truck. The member was able to jump out of the way avoiding any injuries. The truck then drove in what police referred to as an erratic manner with no front driver’s wheel across Sylvan Lake causing numerous complaints to police.

The RCMP stated the danger to the public was very high. As such, police monitored the movements of the suspect truck from a distance knowing that due to the mechanical state of the truck, the vehicle could not drive for any length of time.

“Any one who has driven through town can see the marks that truck made from Sylvan Drive to 50 Street to Highway 20,” stated Corporal James Allemekinders, Sylvan Lake RCMP. “It was starting small grass fi res as it went along, because the wheel components were on the pavement, red hot sending sparks out. So members de-cided to follow from quite a ways back knowing that at some point the vehicle was going to become inoperable.”

Eventually, the truck left town east on Highway 11a, through Poplar Ridge and into the Burnt Lake Industrial Park then westbound onto the Burnt Lake Trail where it eventually stopped at Range Road 283 south of the Burnt Lake Trail. The lone male occupant was taken into cus-tody at that location. The truck was later determined to be a stolen vehicle taken from the Rimbey area on July 2.

Gregory Sigmunder Whitford, 36, of Nanton, Alberta was charged with 13 offences during this event including possession of methamphetamine, assault of a police of-fi cer, dangerous driving, fl ight from police, possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace, possession of sto-len property over $5,000 and possession of break in tools.

Subsequently, one female was also charged with aiding and abetting fl ight from the police for her role in this event. Corporal Allemekinders explained police were able to identify, locate and charge a female accomplice to the driver of the truck who was providing him updates on police positions via cell phone.

“She was talking to him, letting him know where the police were and we’ve been able to secure some of that information,” said Corporal Allemekinders.

The following day on Thursday, July 7th, Sylvan Lake RCMP received a complaint of a suspicious truck parked and unoccu-pied on Whitecap Close in Sylvan Lake. Members attended and determined it was a stolen black 2014 Ford F150, which had been stolen from the Sylvan Lake area on July 4th.

During the course of the subsequent investigation, members attended a res-idence on Sylvan Drive, which is well known to police. While speaking to oc-cupants at the front door, a male tried to evade police by jumping out a back window of the house, over a fence into a wooded area.

There he was met by a well-positioned member of the RCMP who took him into custody. A search of the male incidental to arrest located the stolen Ford 150 keys, insurance and registration documents, along with both ammunition and drugs.

Brandon Caleb Robertson, 20 years old of Innisfail was charged with possession of stolen property over $5000, possession of stolen property under $5000 and three counts of failure to comply with recogni-

zance.Both Whitford and Robertson were

brought before a Justice of the Peace and have subsequently been released on their own recognizance, with numerous condi-tions, to attend court in Red Deer on July 19 at 09:30 a.m.

Corporal Allemekinders reminds own-ers of motor vehicles to take extra pre-cautions. Never leave your vehicle keys inside your vehicle or leave your vehicle running with the keys inside for any amount of time. Owners of Ford F 350’s made in the mid 2000’s are advised to take after market precautions, such as steering wheel clubs, as these vehicles are the most commonly and easily stolen vehicle in the area.

“In this day and age, economy and crime rate – there is no such thing as small town any more,” he added. “People doing these crimes can be anywhere whether it’s Eckville, Bentley, Sylvan Lake or even rural properties – criminals could be driving down a gravel road see an F-350, walk onto the property and take it in thirty seconds.”

An observant member of the Sylvan Lake RCMP noted this stolen 2007 Ford F-350 on Sylvan Drive on July 6. As members approached the vehicle it fl ed from the scene causing a concern to public safety.

“Rest in Peace Big Guy”

MANNERFELDT, Edna January 9, 1932 - July 6, 2016We are heartbroken to share the passing of a woman who loved everyone unconditionally. She was a fi ghter, right to the end as she fi nally accepted that her life was complete and breathed her last breath. For 60 years, she has been a pillar in the Sylvan Lake community where she contributed as a volunteer in countless ways. She was one of the founders of the Sylvan Lake Food Bank and helped recently by singing “O Canada” at the 100 year Anniversary of the Town of Sylvan Lake. It was her marriage to Ragnar Mannerfeldt that brought her to the community and she adopted her new home and made it hers. We celebrated their 60th anniversary in June with friends and family who gathered to honor their legacy.When Edna learned how to fl y with the airlines, the world became a place to discover and she travelled to every continent in the world. She treasured the people she met on these trips and shared many stories about these adventures.She worked diligently and hard on the family farm SW of Sylvan Lake to ensure that her children, Jaelene Mannerfeldt (Jim), Karen Gain (Rob), Ron Mannerfeldt (Rosa) and Jamie Mannerfeldt (Gaylene) were given the best in regards to education and training. Her vision has been passed on to her grandchildren, Katy, David (Nita), Vesper (Erik), Trisha, Julie (Chris), Jonathan, Sarah, Keitha (Jesse), Randy, Duncan, Serena, Erica, Jessie (Stephanie) and Tara (Cory). She celebrated everyone’s achievements and travelled far and wide to be present for each one of her family. Her ten great grandchildren were of special interest to her and each birth was a treasure. She reminded all of us that “You’re good stuff!”She was predeceased by her parents, 4 brothers and one sister. Her surviving sister, O’linda Germaine was with her in the last hours and we know she passed in peace. Countless nieces, nephews, cousins and family friends will miss her hugs as well.A graveside service will be held on Saturday, July 9, at 10:00 am at the Burnt Lake Cemetery. A celebration of her life will be held in the afternoon, Saturday, July 9, at 2:30 pm at the Sylvan Lake Seventh-day Adventist Church, 4607 - 47 Avenue, Sylvan Lake. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Edna’s memory to the Agnes Anderson Scholarship Fund at Burman University, 5415 College Avenue, Lacombe, Alberta.

STUMPFDayne Ryley1991 - 2016 The family of Dayne Ryley Stumpf of Sylvan Lake, AB, wishes him peace as he travels beyond this life and towards his next journey. Dayne passed away July 5, 2016.Dayne was very much loved by his family and well-liked among all of his friends, old and new. In return, Dayne loved his family and friends deeply. There wasn’t much more important to him than maintaining the relationships with those that he

felt loyal to. His kind and generous spirit allowed him to meet people easily and reach out to everyone along his path. His positive outlook towards life was contagious to everyone that he touched. While the majority of his life and his fi nal days were spent in Sylvan Lake, Dayne also lived in Regina, SK, Eckville, AB, Whitecourt, AB, Vancouver, BC, and Red Deer, AB. He graduated high school in Sylvan Lake and attended Red Deer College where he obtained a trade in water well drilling. His dream was to have his own water well drilling company and name it Black’n’Blue because he was going to bring that blue water out of that black dirt. Dayne is pre-deceased by his great grandparents Elmer and Jesse Dell. He is survived by his loving mother Tanya Stumpf, sister Chloe Anderson, step-father Jason Anderson, grandparents Harold and Alice Stumpf, auntie Kim Stumpf, great grandmother Mert Nicholson, friend Rob Smith, the rest of his Alberta family, father Ron Aitcheson, sister Hilary Aitcheson, brother Robert Aitcheson, the rest of his Saskatchewan family, and his New Brunswick family.Please join us for a memorial service for Dayne at the Sylvan Lake Funeral Home on July 15, 2016 from 7 to 9 pm. In lieu of fl owers, it is requested that family and friends “pay it forward” to their local homeless communities and addiction programs.” Cremation entrusted to Rocky Mountain Crematorium, Rocky Mountain House, AB.

SPORTSSPORTSBeach Volleyball takes over Sylvan Lake

Volleyball has spiked into Central Alberta.

On Saturday, July 9 – some of Alberta’s elite beach volleyball players made the trek into Sylvan Lake to try their luck against the best the province has to offer.

Organizer Jenna Smith was happy with the turnout at the pier for the second event of the summer put on by Volleyball Alberta.

“We have four events throughout the year,” she said. “We had one in Edmonton, two here (Sylvan Lake) and one in Calgary in August.”

The event on July 9 had seven beach volleyball courts being packed by several teams in both a male and female’s divi-sion. The athletes are ranked based on an ongoing system that accumulates over time, according to Smith.

“They get ranked according to tourna-ments both this year and last year,” she adding that anyone can enter and there

is plenty of returning players and there are plenty of “new faces, which is always nice to see.”

“There is a lot of ex university players and current indoor university players,” Smith said, “There are also a lot of people who strictly play beach and play in beach leagues during the week.”

The winners of the day received cash prizes and all who attended were invited to the social afterwards at Chief’s on the lakeshore.

According to Smith, this event was a precursor to the much larger event – The Jonathon Walsh Memorial Tournament on July 16-17, also at the Sylvan Lake Pier.

“This is one of our biggest tourna-ments,” Smith said. “We expect around 30 teams for both divisions.

“It is a really good event and is played in honour of a really good volleyball player that passed away fi ve years ago.”

She added that the event is really good volleyball to watch and that the best com-petitors come out.

[email protected]

Province’s best players compete on the pier

Volleyball Alberta held their fi rst beach event in Sylvan Lake on July 9.

Over 30 teams in each division will appear again on July 16 and 17.

Teams are made up of some of the best volleyball players in the province of Alberta.

99th annual Benalto Stampede takes place

The 99th annual Benalto Stampede took place this past weekend.

As the event prepares for their centennial celebrations in 2017, the grounds saw a number of upgrades this season and the hundreds of cowboys and cowgirls in at-tendance were privy to one of the Benalto Agricultural Society’s best shows to date.

The weekend hosted a plethora of events including a pro rodeo performance with persistently packed bleachers, the annual Benalto Stampede Queen Competition, wild pony races and also the junior rodeo performance.

Friday night at the Stampede the crowd saw the crowning of the Benalto Stampede Queen, Kaelin Lambert.

Lambert, who moved to Benalto with her family when she was three, proudly received the crown upon her cowgirl hat and said she is ready to represent her hometown and her home rodeo.

“It feels awesome – I love this rodeo, I love

this town,” said Lambert on being crowned Benalto Stampede Queen. “With next year being our hundredth year, it’s a huge com-mitment and a huge honour to be able to be Stampede Queen this year and have the chance to be able to promote our rodeo and get as many people out as possible next year.”

It was a proud moment for Lambert’s parents as well.

“It’s an honour to see her as queen today, it’s her dream – she’s always wanted a horse as a little girl and she’s been going ever since,” said Kaelin’s father, Brian Lambert. “She’s doing something she loves and you can’t ask for anything more as a parent.”

It wasn’t even a day after the rodeo had ended before Lambert was on the royal road, as Monday she ventured to the Calgary Stampede to promote her home rodeo at the annual Firefi ghter Vs. Cowboys Pole Climb held at Ranchman’s Cookhouse and Dancehall.

The Benalto Agricultural Society is greatly looking forward to their centennial event as it holds rich historical value within the hamlet.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

According to the Benalto Agricultural Society’s website, the original society was formed in 1917, with the fi rst fair being held in 1918. Prior to this a sports day was held in Evarts, which ran annually from 1905 until 1915.

Due to the railroad being moved to north of Evarts, it was moved to Benalto in 1916. Some old timers claim there were a few bucking horses and a few horse races held along with this in 1916 but this is not known for sure.

The fi rst full-scale stampede was held in 1917 and has been held annually since.

The fi rst registered fair under the Benalto Agricultural Society was held in 1918.

In the early days the fair and stampede were ran by two separate groups but held on the same day. After a few years the two groups joined together but the actual year is unknown. The founding executive directors, members and volunteers as well as current have put countless hours into what the society and grounds are to date.
