Sylvan Lake RCMP investigate second attempted child abduction this month

Please Call Crimestoppers with any information

On June 27, 2016 Sylvan Lake RCMP responded to a complaint of an attempted

abduction of a 13-year-old girl.

At approximately 11:00 p.m. a 13-year-old girl was out walking with friends near the library, in Sylvan Lake. She and her friends

separated, and shortly after she noticed a vehicle being operated in a suspi-cious manner, and so she hid in a nearby bush.

The male driver got out and grabbed the girl from

the bush and pulled her hair. There was a struggle and then the young girl was able to break free and safely ran away from the driver. The male passenger remained in the car.

Rotary Lighthouse Park opens on Canada Day

The shores of Sylvan Lake are a little brighter.

On Friday, July 1 – Mayor Sean McIntyre, along with many offi cials from the Town

of Sylvan Lake and the Sylvan Lake Rotary Club, cut the ribbon to offi cial open Rotary Lighthouse park.

The lighthouse project according to a speech by Mayor McIntyre was a project spearheaded by the Rotary Club, under the leadership of Trevor Sigfusson.

An ‘iconic’ symbol of Sylvan Lake is returned

TODD COLIN VAUGHAN,SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sigfusson, since 2013, lead the project through multiple public consultations and fundraiser’s – eventually leading the grand opening on Canada Day 2016.

Jim MacSween, President of the Rotary Club, said that the “old lighthouse had outlived its usefulness” and he knew that the plan to open the new lighthouse would coincide with Canada’s 149th birthday. “That was the plan and it was a bit of a scramble to have it all ready,” he said. “The lighthouse had been ready for quite some time, but the lighting and the park needed a real push to get done.

“I tip my hat to the town because it looks really good today.”

The Rotary club raised over $240,000 for the lighthouse project, after the old lighthouse, originally built on private property, was deemed unrepairable.

Over the years the lighthouse had taken up the mantle of being the sym-bol of Sylvan Lake so disposing of the old lighthouse and then not replacing it didn’t seem like a viable option,” MacSween said.

This lead to the Rotary club seeing an opportunity to have the people of Sylvan Lake be a part of the new lighthouse, which would continue being the symbol of the town. The Rotary Club ended up selling paving stones with the names of the community members, businesses

and deceased citizens that people want-ed to honour in order to fundraise for the new lighthouse. This way, the names of this community would continue to be a part of Rotary Lighthouse Park.

The park and its walkway leading up the lighthouse are on public property and free for all to enjoy.

“There is still an opportunity for the people who see the stones leading up the lighthouse to purchase a stone and have their name on the walkway,” MacSween said.

According to Mayor McIntyre, “the goal of the lighthouse committee was to build an attractive, solid structure that would stand the test of time.”

He added that since the project was part of Sylvan Lake’s centennial celebra-tions, he hopes that the new solid light-house would still be in place for Sylvan Lake’s 200th anniversary.

“It was a monumental effort by the Rotary Club and the friends of the Rotary Club,” McIntyre said. “They have built and returned to Sylvan Lake an iconic symbol of our community.

MacSween added that the lighthouse is a “monument to the people of this community who have made it the way it is.”

Caroline Vandriel: Book ReviewsThe Nest, A Fine Imitation and Girl Waits With Gun

I have a very dangerous job… at least to someone like me. I am a Librarian and I am surrounded by books.

I enjoy reading - the irony is that I have access to so much, with very little time to read.

Part of my job is to purchase new books for the library. You’d think that would be the fun part, but at times it is agony. Do I choose the latest western because there are so few on the market but have a niche readership? Do I bring in more of “bodice-ripper” books, or ones with shirtless Scotsmen on the cov-ers or buy those for our ebook collection? As I’m ordering, I request items for myself from the library catalogue. But as I place large or-ders, I end up requesting many items - and they all arrive at the Library at the same time. Often I will have books piled high on my home’s entry table, night stand and side table. (I learned from experience not to put them on the coffee table - it’s horribly embarrassing to have to tell another library that my dog ate their book.)

And the piles grow and grow until I’m overwhelmed by books and don’t know

where to start, so I renew them the three times then bring them back, unread (gasp). There used to be a lot of guilt associated with this.

My parents were born during the Depression and The Second World War. This meant we always cleaned our plates, we never took more than we needed, and we never, ever, left anything undone. I was con-vinced that once you had a book, you were obligated to read it from start to fi nish.

Then one of my English professors asked how many of us read novels from beginning to end, even the ones we didn’t like. My hand shot up with the seemingly obvious-ness answer, but around me at least one third of the class had not raised their hand! That’s when I discovered the freedom of not reading books I don’t like or don’t immedi-ately capture my attention.

Periodically I seem to choose books with similarities. Recently I picked up The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney. It opens with a party, dialogue, and descriptions that imme-diately call to mind The Great Gatsby. It was jarring to discover that the book is actually set in the present. Also jarring was that

none of the main characters are likeable.Dropping that, I picked up A Fine Imitation

by Amber Brock. The narrative switches from pre First World War to the early 1920s. The characters are more likeable and the story constantly refers to a scandal from the past. Intriguing, but not really what I was hungering for.

The third novel I picked up I stuck with: Girl Waits With Gun by Amy Stewart is also set at the onset of the Great War. The novel is based on a real person, Constance Kopp, the fi rst female deputy in America, and her sisters. The sisters are awkward and winsome, ethereal and solid. They feel very human. The title was taken from a newspa-per headline, and many details come from news articles and trial transcripts. The book opens with a bang – a car and buggy crash. The sisters bring charges against the driver of the car but are met with abuse, violence, and threats. I mentally urged them on, ea-gerly awaiting the sordid details as their past began to unfold.

The sequel, Lady Cop Makes Trouble, comes out in September this year. It’s al-ready on my list of books to read.

Editorial: Scott McDermottCreate a Success Avalanche

It’s pretty easy to be down on ourselves…..I’m pretty much a self deprecating ninja most days - calling myself out on my fl aws often before anyone could or would notice. Trouble is I think, the world seems to support it in the news, on social media etc, talking about the worst of peo-ple, and being so judgemental.

I remember being a kid when Baby Jessica fell into a well while playing on her farm. The whole world rallied together to pray and help that little girl and her family. I never heard a thing about blaming the parents. Then most recently a few tragedies happened involving kids - one at a zoo, a river, and one by a body of water in Florida. There was so much backlash against the parents. As if they were at fault or to be blamed.

As the father of a four-year-old, I can tell you that poten-tially dangerous things happen in the blink of an eye when an innocent young child tries something without realizing the consequences. Compassion and a little kindness is required for those parents.

This is also true for ourselves. We need to be kinder to our-

selves. I, for one, am very hard on myself. You could argue that such a trait is required to achieve a high level of success: a relentless pursuit of improvement. I suppose there is some truth to that, but I think it could be done with a nicer edge to it.

I think we need to celebrate our successes more often, whether they are large or small.

Here’s one thing I know: suc-cess builds on success. When we notice, acknowledge and cel-ebrate success, it creates a habit, a pattern and a movement to-wards more success. The oppo-site is also true, and you know these people: bad things always happen to them. They are always negative, they blame external sources for all their problems (The government, the economy, their partner, parents, boss, etc, etc). The glass is not only half empty, it’s the wrong colour

and fl avour. These folks have created a real challenge, because they are always on the lookout for prob-lems, and they ba-sically become a poop magnet.

The trick is to do the different. Look for the posi-tive. In everything. Always. Trust me, this is not an easy thing to start, but once you get the hang of it, I guar-antee it changes

everything.When I crashed in November

and nearly died, I just kept thinking about what was good about it. I survived. I could think and remember who I was. My neck and spine were intact. My best friend was with me in the hospital every step, and my wife and son were ok and would visit soon. I was being cared for in an excellent hospital. I had hun-dreds of people praying for me, my legs were ok, I had an amaz-ing staff at work that would take care of things while I healed,

and so much more.So to create a success ava-

lanche, start making a list of ev-erything in your life that is awe-some! Buy a simple paper jour-nal, or even use an app for your phone like “Success Journal” and write out three successes from each day as a minimum before bed each night. If you have 10, great, write 10. Share them on Facebook if you want – and create momentum with your friends!

What if you don’t have any successes in a day? I doubt it. Brushed your teeth, ate some food, went to work, looked for a job, found a penny, etc. Nobody says the successes have to be massive or earth changing…… they just have to be a success. Once you get into this habit… you will become a success mag-net – because there is a univer-sal proven fact, that what you track: you get more of.

Just like the people that gather around and gossip and blame and hate, they get more of that. So let’s be the ones that gather around and talk about success… and get more of that!

Happy Training!Scott

Meadowlands hosts Show and Shine

If you want to live your life a quarter mile at a time, then Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics has an event for you.

On Saturday, July 9 – this local group will be hosting their 10th annual Show and Shine at Meadowlands Golf Club. The event will, luckily, take place right on the grass of the course to avoid the heat of the summer.

Gord Bredo, who started this event 10 years ago with his wife Elaine, is a huge fan of the venue,

“We found that venue a few years ago and it has been really good,” he said. “We get along great with them and it has been a great fi t.”

He added that shows that are on asphalt soak in the heat and stores it, whereas the grass is “nice, cool and not as dusty”

“Everyone loves being on the grass and that is a huge plus for us,” he said.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary, Bredo and his crew have introduced many new prizes including a $500 cash reward from ReMax – that is eligible to anyone who pays the $15 dollar fee to show their vehicle. The event will also have new hand-made piston trophies to commemorate the event, which will be handed out to the 10 winners.

According to Bredo, any vehicle “that someone takes pride in” is eligible to participate in the show.

“You will see everything from your grandpa’s Model A, to a souped up Model A that will do a quarter mile in 10 seconds,” Bredo said.

He added that many people think they can’t participate because their vehicle is up to a certain quality, however once they arrive at the show “with a lawn chair” they will be “parked next to a guy who has the same story as them.

The event will also have a breakfast and lunch, which will be supplied by the Knights of Columbus – with pro-ceeds going to the Knight’s charitable works. The Show and Shine have also hired a professional face painter free of cost for the kids, but Bredo added that the painter will also paint the adults faces who would like that.

Bredo encourages “anyone with a vehicle they have pride in – any classic of some sort – to throw out their lawn chair, come on out and have have fun.”

“It will be a great event,” he [email protected]

Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics welcomes any vehicle that comes with pride

You’ll be able to see everything new and old at the Sylvan Lake Customs and Classics Show and Shine on July 9.

Our beautiful country just celebrated her 149th Birthday with festivities in most every community across our land, from the largest cities to the smallest hamlets! Most people were out taking in the entertainment, the parades and the food. This land is our home. We love it and it is only right that we celebrate its inception and its freedoms.

We all have things to celebrate in our own lives as well: birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations from university and high school, and other accomplishments. On June 29, for instance, I just celebrated my 20th anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood in the Anglican Church of Canada. That was a very momentous occasion in my life. It changed me in many, many ways, and I give thanks to Almighty God for calling me to ordained ministry.

When God fi rst called me, I couldn’t believe it, but I told Him I would do anything He asked of me, and here I am! Many times throughout my life I depended upon this

piece of scripture: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phil. 4:13

I have talked to a number of people over the years who ignore their birthdays and anniversaries as being inconsequential. How sad. Their birth days were days of joy – not only for their families, but for God. One small child can change everything. Just imagine how one drop of red paint dropped into a gallon of white paint changes it.

Oh, not by much, you might say, but your birth meant so much more! God created you in the beginning and gave you unique gifts to use to help those around you. You have the opportunity and obligation to use those gifts to make this world a better place! You are a miracle to be celebrated! Give thanks to God, and don’t let another birthday or anniversary go by without celebrating your life and its milestones! You are a miracle!

149th Canadian BirthdayThe day offi cially began at 11 a.m. with

the opening of Rotary Lighthouse Park, where Town offi cials and Rotary Club members presented the new and im-proved lighthouse, which is now on pub-lic property meaning any and all are able to enjoy the beautiful new park.

Mayor Sean McIntyre said in a speech that the Rotary Club has “built and re-turned an iconic symbol of our communi-ty,” and that he believes it will be around “when Sylvan Lake celebrates its 200th anniversary.”

Following the introduction of the light-house, Lakers had the opportunity to take the short walk down to the pier – where the Rotary Club had bouncy castles, food venues, face painters and professional massage booths set up for everyone to take part.

President Jim MacSween of the Rotary Club said that “Canada Day has taken a greater signifi cance and the Rotary Club is happy to honour it.”

He added that he was happy too see all the visitors, immigrants and new Canadians being welcomed in Sylvan Lake for the occasion.

At 2 p.m., people gathered at the Town Municipal building where mem-bers of the Royal Canadian Legion and the RCMP gathered as a colour party to raise the Canadian Flag to the singing of “O’Canada.” It was truly a treat for those present to witness Legion Members in full garb honour the country that they sacrifi ced so much for.

The raising of the fl ag was followed by the March of Canadians – where Canadians marched and paraded down Centennial Avenue alongside the co-

lour guard and the Innisfail Pipe and Drum Band towards the pier.

Once arrived, Mayor Sean McIntyre had a massive Canada Day birthday cake, prepared by Sugar Belle, ready for

continued from page 8 anyone who had a sweet tooth that day. Everyone had their fi ll of the tasty cake following another rendition of “O’Canada” and “Happy Birthday.”

Once everyone had their fi ll of cake, The Johnny Thorson Banjo Express helped everyone dance off some of the Cake Calories with some old fashioned Dixieland music, followed by the Rotary Duck Race at Buk Wildz – where attend-

ees had the opportunity to bet on rubber ducks.

Once, complete – Canadians could spend their afternoon at the Rotary events wait-ing for the always spectacular fi reworks display, which started off at dusk to the delight of the crowds.

Happy Canada Day from the staff at the Sylvan Lake News.

SCHILLThe family of Douglas William Schill (1951-2016), of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, is wishing him well on his new journey beyond this life. Doug had an immeasurable impact on our community and the people in it. While he and Judy had recently moved to Summerland, BC to enjoy warmer winters and mountain air, his spirit and love shall forever remain with the waters and lands of Sylvan Lake. He is survived by his loving partner Judy Blais (née Farnsworth), sister Patricia Kudryk (née Schill) and brother

Terry Schill, children Chad Schill and Aimée (Patrick) Zaph; grandchildren Ryder and Kohen Schill and Etta Zaph, as well as mother of Chad and Aimée, Penny. Please join us in raising a Pilsner and toasting his name and memory. A memorial service will be held at the Sylvan Lake branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Tuesday, July 12 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. In Lieu of fl owers, donations can be made in Doug’s name to The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation proceeds to Cardiology.

Sylvan Lake home builder wins big

Home is where the heart is they say.Local Central Albertan business Falcon

Homes was recently awarded with some prestigious awards in honour of the homes they built during the fi scal year of 2015.

General Manager of Falcon Homes John Christie was excited for the company to receive this distinction.

“We worked hard all year – we built 95 homes that year,” he said “It shows you that you have been good to your custom-ers, your customers are happy with you and that trades and suppliers have been helping you along the way.”

Falcon Homes won the Large Volume Builder of the Year Award, which awards companies who build 25 homes and over. To receive this award, a company must fi n-ish as a fi nalist in at least one category of home – which are separated into different home and price brackets.

Falcon Homes won Renovator of the Year, Safety and Leadership, Builder Member of the Year, Best New multi-Fam-ily Home, Best Townhouse/duplex over $225,000 and Best Renovation between 75 and 124 thousand dollars. Christie also took home the personal distinction of the Gus Bakke Memorial Award, which hon-

ours service for his time as President of the Homebuilders Association.

Christie credits Falcon’s employees for the awards received.

“Most of our trades and suppliers have been with us for almost 20 years and any new ones we bring in – we make sure they produce quality work and are profession-al,” he said “That helps us because they know exactly how to build our homes; what we like to see in our homes; and they know what kind of quality we expect to see.

“They also help us with pricing depend-ing on the economy.”

With the Alberta Economy at a unsteady point, Christie is looking for many ways to expand Falcon Home’s business other then just number of homes built.

“With the economy, it can be a little tough, but we are always trying to grow,” he said. “Not necessarily always building more homes, but grow by being on top of the trend and knowing what kind of prod-ucts are out there to help out customers.”

He added that they always want to get “better at what they do.”

For Christie, the challenge and reward of home building often comes from build-ing in a Central Alberta – which requires multiple perspectives for multiple com-munities.

TODD COLIN VAUGHANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

“Central Alberta is pretty big,” Christie said. “This means that you have a lot of different communities that you build in and that could mean multiple different styles of home.”

He added that the awards are a huge honour and he is looking forward to con-tinuing to build more homes next year.

ONE STOP PARTY SHOP!


SPORTSSPORTSCWC rolls through Central Alberta

Mayhem! Mayhem! Mayhem!On Saturday, July 2, the Canadian

Wrestling Coalition (CWC) honoured our nation with their very fi rst event, Maple Leaf Mayhem, at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre

The event featured sixbouts in the squared circle – with a surprise tag team battle to fi nish off the evening of grapples, submissions and slams.

Jack Pride, who returned to the ring after losing a contract versus contract match to Dylon Stone last month, was pleased with the results of the evening.

“Overall, I think Maple Leaf Mayhem was our strongest show to date,” he

said. “We had a solid card that deliv-ered top to bottom.”

Pride wrestled at Maple Leaf Mayhem under the employment of Stone – who now owns Pride’s future with the CWC. Despite having to work for a bad guy in the ring, Pride looks forward to work-ing in Sylvan Lake and Central Alberta again.

“With crowd support like that, we would be crazy not to come back,” Pride said when referring to the near 400 people that packed into the gym-nasium.

Pride was also happy to see a home-town Sylvan Lake boy, T.S. Cutler, get a big victory in from of his friends and family.

Nearly 400 people packed Sylvan Lake Community Centre

Local boy T.S. Cutler slammed his opponent against the turnbuckle.

A Flag match was held where the winner had to pull down his countries fl ag from the top of the ring. Don’t worry, Canada won.

“It was great,” he said referring to Cutler’s ap-proval. “The crowd was hot and receptive to the show. You could espe-cially tell there was a strong local presence after T.S. Cutler got the three count and the roof blew off the building.”

Pride is excited for the future of CWC wrestling in Central Alberta.

“I keep seeing a lot of the same faces in the crowd, so we’ve defi -nitely got fans who are willing to follow us, but at the same time there are tons of new faces at every show,” he said. “It just shows that we’re growing as a company and gaining support from our fans and the community.”

The wrestlers of CWC will return in under a month on August 6, when they grapple out in Blackfalds for their show Primal Instinct.

“We are hoping to

continued from page 16 keep doing what we’ve been doing,” Pride said. “Beating expectations and having another sell out crowd”

Pickleball swings intoCentral Alberta

A new sport is springing up all over Central Alberta.

Pickleball, which was originally invented in the 1960s as a kid’s backyard game, has now become a global phenomenon that has caught on with people of all ages due to not only its ease of access, but also

New sport for all ages arrivesTODD COLIN VAUGANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

the competiveness, activeness and fun involved.The game combines elements of tennis, ping-pong

and badminton, and puts people in singles or doubles competition in indoor or outdoor settings.

Sylvan Lake Recreation Department Offi cial Jordan Naturkach started a Pickleball club after receiving several emails asking for this sport to be made avail-able.

“It’s easy to start a program up when you have in-terest from the community,” he said. “Before our fi rst day we had 10-12 people saying they were interested so that makes it easy knowing that you will have peo-ple out consistently.

The program runs on three newly painted courts outside in the outdoor arena grounds behind the Sylvan Lake Community Centre and runs Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon, and Wednesdays from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.

“We wanted to provide evening time for families and people who work during the day to come out and try it,” Naturkach said.

The program is free of charge and Pickleball equip-ment was purchased through Red Deer Pickleball supplies – which is the ambassador for the sport in Central Alberta.
