NOTHING PERKS UP A ROOM LIKE RED, but many are afraid to introduce this powerful colour into a

decorating scheme. Fortunately, there are many creative ways in which you can spice up your décor with red’s ebullient energy

without feeling overwhelmed.

Red is present in pinks, corals, mauves and violets.

If you can’t picture yourself in a red bedroom, how about one painted in dreamy pink cadillac 2002-70 - a romantic, soft pink.

Camp Kuriakos Bike, Walk, Run participants gathered at the camp site to begin the event Saturday.STUART FULLARTON

by Stuart FullartonSylvan Lake News

The 18th annual Bike, Walk, Run at Camp Kuriakos brought in an estimated $20,000 over the weekend.

About 25 people biked, walked or ran on routes marked in and around the campsite, with the goal of raising money for the camp.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said assistant director Ryan Moe. “It’s our big event every year that we try and come together and raise a little bit of money.”

Money raised will subsidize campers’ fees, and sup-port on-site projects including the construction of a new building and a new lakefront dock system.

This year’s event took on a different format than years prior, having previously been the Bike, Walk, Hike-a-thon.

The new running section allowed organizers to com-bine facets of both hiking and running over a 15-kilo-metre trail. Biking and walking took place over 100 kilometres and 13 kilometres, respectively.

Participants travelled from Red Deer, Edmonton and Calgary to take part in the event.

Moe said numbers generally fluctuate each year, but this year’s 25 was about average. Some have participated in previous camp events while others were taking part for the first time.

“We get a bit of turnover, but it’s a lot of the same camp supporters that tend to come out to most events that we put on,” he said.

The camp is open year-round, with summer pro-grams running for 10 weeks in July and August. An outdoor school is also run by the camp, and teaches outdoor and environmental education.

“We do most of the stuff here right on site, and we have a wilderness site that we do some fire building and wilderness survival stuff at,” said Moe. Day trips and multi-day trips are offered.

Sylvan Lake Lutheran Bible Camp Association owns and operates Camp Kuriakos.

More information about the camp and its programs is available at www.kuriakos.ab.ca.

“Pastor Bear did it,” proclaimed the program for Lighthouse Fellowship Church of the Nazarene’s Sunday service. “Our pastor has been Rev’d.”

Barry Sigurdson was ordained as an Elder in the Church of God according to the rules of the Church of the Nazarene last Friday evening at Calgary First Church of the Nazarene. A number of his parishioners attended the ceremony with him.

He described his nine year journey towards this goal as a “struggle that’s been phenomenal”.

After his ordination certificate was read during Sunday’s service, Sigurdson said, “I am humbled … so many people have walked so far for me, with me, I can’t say thank you enough.”

Alluding to difficulties in achieving his goal, he said, “while I struggled people came alongside and took the course with me”.

Sigurdson told more of his story during his sermon which used the theme “Hoping Against Hope”, taking as his scripture the story of Abraham and Sarah from Romans 4: 13-25.

“When the Lord called me to the ministry of preach-ing, I said, yea, I’m a storyteller, entertainer.” But he added, “there’s more to it, so much I didn’t understand about myself.”

He recalled working on rigs and lying with two and a half tons across his back, stuck in the mud of Montana. “God kept calling. Pretty soon that quiet voice in the wilderness was gone and it was a 2x4 to the back of my head.”

Continually referring to his theme, Hoping Against Hope, Sigurdson said he struggled with education. (He

Sigurdson struggled to accomplish goal; was ordained after nine years

later said he found out about five years ago he has a written language disability where he can see a picture in his mind but can’t translate it to written words.)

“I became a pastor, I didn’t know how to preach, what church was supposed to be.” But he believed “God’s promise to me was real”.

Speaking the the congregation he said, “You guys kept coming back, I don’t know why.”

He talked about another promise, that God would give he and his wife sons.

Mentioning his two autistic sons, Elijah and Josiah, he reminded the gath-ering of changes in them and their involvement with music during the ser-vice. That’s not normal for autistic peo-ple.

“Hoping against hope I tried to believe God has something for them … Every day is a new day, every day is a

wonderous fulfillment of that promise. My wife, I don’t know how she put up with it, me and the boys. But she never stopped believing.”

Sigurdson said Abraham questioned. He admitted, “I questioned, I still do.”

“Hoping against hope, God’s promises are fulfilled. What are your stumbling blocks? What are you stum-bling with?” he questioned. “God wants you to have faith … true faith. God’s promises do come true. They may not look exactly like you said they should be.”

All things are possible, Sigurdson said. He related trying to find one professor who would understand him. “I’m not dumb old Bear, I just don’t understand words that well, I understand pictures.” He found help from Jerry Austin who said, come to school early and tell me the story of the question, tell me the story of God. That’s how he understood something, he saw something in his mind. Austin checked questions and said yes, you understand, related Sigurdson.

He explained that changed everything, he had a part in changing the education system of a whole denomina-tion. They accepted the fact that native type people, who make up 80 per cent of the world, are not good at writ-ing things down, but have oral storytelling capacity. “It all changed because God would not quit, and I would not quit. When my faith was low I worshipped God and my faith was restored.”

Following the sermon, Rev. John Yoos offered a blessing for Sigurdson and his future. “Fifty-seven years ago this day I had the privilege of being ordained in the Presbyterian Church,” he said. “It’s a significant and wonderful privilege to be called by God Almighty to share. Rejoice in the world always.”

Asked after the service about what led him to the ministry, Sigurdson said there’s always been a feeling God had a plan for him. He suggested the oilfield acci-dent in 1980 may have been the moment he was called to something. He thought it was to be a children’s story-teller, something he did for years under the stage name Ole Bear.

Sigurdson has been pastor with Lighthouse Fellowship in Sylvan for the past eight years. He grew up in the Sylvan Lake area where he has strong ties. His family homesteaded southwest of town in 1901.

Reverend Barry Sigurdson (centre) was surrounded by his family during cel-ebration of his ordination Sunday following the service at Lighthouse Fellowship Church of the Nazarene. Joining with him around the cake which said Hallelu-jah, Way to go, Reverend Barry Sigurdson, were Josiah, Kiersten, Ruth Ann and Elijah. STEVE DILLS


New home construction took off in Sylvan Lake last month when permits were issued for 21 single family residences, bringing the five month total to 48 starts. Last year 32 homes had been started to the end of May.

Eleven of May’s starts are in Ryders Ridge subdivi-sion, eight are in Beacon Hill and one each in the cabin area on 44th Street and in Lakeway Landing on Leonard Close.

Construction values for the homes ranged from $149,550 to $307,125 with ten under $200,000, seven between $200,000 and $250,000, three between $250,000 and $300,000 and one over $300,000.

Three permits were issued for commercial construction — all in the downtown area. The addi-tion and expansion of the Big Moo building at the corner of Lakeshore Drive and 46th Street was pegged at $233,820 while permits were issued for Hockey Central’s new location on Lakeshore Drive ($50,000) and Benjamin’s new 50th Street location ($5,000).

Two permits were approved for construction in the industrial area, one to Country Homes Ltd. for warehousing with a second floor development in a building on Cuendet Industrial Way ($100,000)

and the other for interior renovations by Canadian Engineered Wood Products to the former town public works building at 1 Erickson Drive ($30,000).

Permits were also issued for six detached garages, four basement developments, two hot tubs, rebuilding an existing attached garage, a secondary suite, a sun room, and a deck.

The total value of permits issued in May was $4,984,290.90, up almost 53 per cent over the same month in 2012. However the five month year-to-date figures show the town’s permit values down just over $10 million in 2013. A big part of the reason for that was the $7.2 million permit last year for the new town hall.

There were also starts on 68 multi-family units last year compared to just 16 this year.

Sylvan Lake’s Centennial is going to be celebrated in fine style this weekend, as the majority of events planned to mark 100 years of growth take place.

And judging from the opening salvo, last Saturday’s jubilee ceremony, those who partake are sure to be impressed.

Not really knowing what to expect when we heard that a series of vignettes or short sto-ries would portray the com-munity’s history decade by decade, we were amazed at the production.

Music fittingly selected to mirror the eras being present-ed was fabulously performed by members of the École H. J. Cody High School concert band.

Finding actors was a diffi-cult task because there are a lot of shy people in our com-munity, we were told. But those who got involved cer-tainly provided the audience of hundreds of people with top calibre entertainment and

more than a few laughs.Now, as we move on

towards the weekend, we feel it’s necessary to encourage all residents and friends to par-ticipate. Take in the different events planned to mark our milestone.

We guarantee you’ll find lots to interest and captivate you. How could you not with all the work that’s taken place organizing so many events.

The chamber of commerce meet and greet tomorrow (Friday) will feature displays of antiques, a fashion show, former Miss Mermaids, a vari-ety of entertainment and a chili cook-off. The popular farmers’ market also runs dur-ing the afternoon.

Friday and Saturday there’s a Centennial quilt show in the curling rink. The Goonies is playing at the drive-in movie which will be in the Canadian Tire parking lot Friday eve-ning.

Saturday’s chock full of activities for the whole family, beginning at 7 a.m. and run-

ning through to 1 a.m.Highlights are obviously

the firefighters pancake break-fast (everyone needs some sustenance), the Parade of the Century at 1 p.m. and then the Dance of the Century, featur-ing a different band and decade every hour from 3 p.m. on.

Other events include the library book sale, Community Partners garage sale and bar-becue (yes, more food), kids toy and equipment sale, Sylvan Lake & District Archives his-torical display, charity pie auc-tion, kidzone at the arena (from 3-5 p.m.), an open house at the new town hall and unveiling of ideas for a new lighthouse for the com-munity.

Sunday continues the fes-tivities with the Father’s Day fun run starting from

The three-day carnival staged by Sylvan Lake Service Club last week was a success. Wet weather caused some inconvenience on the first day (and a lot of extra work for those in charge), but the problem was solved when the whole carnival was moved

from its first open air stand to the Alexander Pavilion. A variety of booths were operated by businessmen of town, assisted by a number of ladies.

Another carnival will be staged on the evening of Friday June 30 and afternoon and evening of July 1.

Dear EditorThis is to the person who stole my

wife’s 40th birthday buzzards. Our family spent our time and efforts to surprise my wife with 40 wooden buzzards we rented for the front lawn.

It was a great hit and got lots of laughs from my wife, neighbours, family and friends. We woke on Sunday morning to discover that five

of them had been stolen. So you know, your prank cost us $65 per buzzard that you so disrespectfully took upon yourself to steal.

We moved to Sylvan Lake and really thought some of the big city troubles wouldn’t be here, but I guess there are inconsiderate people every-where.

Brian Berturelli, Sylvan Lake

Buzzards stolen

Dear Editor,I would like to respond to the

numerous letters regarding speeding in Sylvan Lake.

While I agree wholeheartedly about speeding in Sylvan Lake — it happens way too often in school zones and residential areas — we, as parents, need to teach our children road safety!

I have two children who scooter and ride their bikes to and from school, so I know all too well that at times it is extremely scary, however, we have taught our children that it is their responsibility to behave accord-ingly when on the same roads as vehicles.

Legally, pedestrians have the right of way, however, when you’re laying under a vehicle, hurt or dead, the right of way becomes a moot point.

I can’t count the amount of chil-dren who have run out from behind a parked vehicle into the street to catch their soccer ball. I’ve also driv-en behind skateboarders who feel the need to weave from one side of the street to the other down Old Boomer Road.

Ultimately, it is our job as parents to teach our children the dangers of motor vehicles. We have taught our children to respect the road rules, but to also remember that vehicles can kill, so, make eye contact with

Plan to participate in the greatest party of the centuryCentennial Park at 10 a.m., and an art show and sale at Community Partners’ office on 50th Avenue.

100 Minutes of Music will be performed in Lions Legacy Park beginning at 1 p.m. where the RCMP dog show will also take place. Then there’s the Butterfield Acres Petting Zoo in the park at the corner of Lakeshore Drive and

50th Street.There are sure to be other

things we’ve missed. But this just provides a selection of how much there is to do in our community this weekend. Plan to get involved, attend the events and be part of the biggest party of the century in Sylvan Lake. You won’t regret it.


Centennial baby - Todd Prochnau of Shoppers Drug Mart pre-sented a pool of gifts to Sylvan Lake’s Centennial baby, Mason Jonathon Story, son of Shelby Gosselin and Matthew Story, on Tuesday afternoon with Mayor Susan Samson present. Shoppers contributed the gifts to the Centennial baby, the baby born closest to the time of Sylvan Lake’s first village council meeting, January 29th at 3 p.m., said Giselle Campbell. Mason was born January 28 at 1:45 a.m. The youngster and his family will be featured in Saturday’s 1913 Days parade. STEVE DILLS

A man wanted as the result of an attempted mur-der near Sylvan Lake was captured after firing shots at police in Red Deer Sunday evening.

Andrew Allan Waunch, 30, also known as Navee, is a suspect in an attempted murder which occurred near Sylvan Lake June 3, as well as theft of a vehicle at gunpoint just outside of Olds last Friday.

Ashley Chambers, 23, is also sought in connec-tion with the same offences. She remains at large and warrants are currently in effect for her arrest.

Sylvan Lake RCMP issued a plea for information about the location of the pair, last Friday.

Then about 7 p.m. Sunday, Red Deer City RCMP responded to a complaint of a truck being stolen by a man brandishing a firearm. They located the sto-len truck in Creekside Trailer Park about 11 p.m. and attempted to stop it. A pursuit ensued outside Red Deer where shots were fired at police by the driver who evaded them, said Cst. Sarah Knelsen in a news release.

The vehicle was found abandoned near Olds where another vehicle had been stolen. “Through police investigation it was determined that the truck, driven by the same suspect from the earlier incidents in Red Deer, had been driven back into Red Deer” and was in the south end, indicated Knelsen.

Attempting to stop the truck, another pursuit ensued during which a spike belt was used by police to flatten the tires of the fleeing vehicle. The driver attempted to run away but was caught by police and arrested.

No one, including the police officers involved in the incident, sustained any injuries, Knelsen report-ed.

An update issued by police on Monday indicated the investigation into the attempted murder near Sylvan Lake is continuing. “At this time, little infor-mation is being released, including the name of the victim, to protect his identity, and ensure his safety as the investigation moves forward,” stated Sgt. Patricia Neely, “K” Division South medial relations officer.

Waunch faces a number of charges including attempted murder, kidnapping, robbery, firearms offences, flight from police, and dangerous driving.

He will make his first court appearance tomor-row (Friday).

Centennial celebrations in Sylvan Lake were kicked off in dramatic fashion Saturday afternoon as sever-al councillors and other local ‘char-acters’ performed a series of vignettes or short stories about the communi-ty’s history.

The highlight of the afternoon was definitely the intriguingly cho-

reographed sampling of music and stories of past years.

École H. J. Cody High School band did a fabulous job providing music suitable to various eras por-trayed.

Historian and storyteller Michael Dawe was the narrator setting the scene as the audience was moved through the decades with stories written by Judy Hinshaw who was assisted in her research by members of Sylvan Lake & District Archives

Music and words used to tell amazing story of Sylvan’s historySociety.

The multiplex was gaily decorated with historic pictures of the community and its activities of the past.

Following brief speeches and presenta-tions by dignitaries, the afternoon’s entertain-ment opened with a re-enactment of the first village council meet-ing. Then it was on to the years of World War I which put a halt to Sylvan Lake’s growth, and then into the 1920s when the community again began to roar and the Charleston was popular. Electric lights, phone service, con-struction of two eleva-tors and the new Women’s Institute Pier marked that decade.

The depression didn’t harm the reputation of Sylvan Lake as a tourist resort or the reputation of

the dance halls. The band played the Beer Barrel Polka for this episode.

Fun in the sun, Sylvan’s teachers, years of tre-mendous growth and the loss of landmarks such as the boat house, Varsity Hall and the grain eleva-tors were remembered.

The performance ended with John Treleaven, in the character of village founder Alexandre Loiselle, remarking in a monologue on the many changes which have taken place over the past cen-tury. “It’s hard to believe this was the wooded shore of 1913.”

Loiselle’s first trip from Red Deer took four arduous days — now with a paved highway that trip takes “the same amount of time as a walk from my hotel to the railway station”, Loiselle said.

He lamented traffic is so constant Main Street could never be used for a tobogganing hill as it used to be.

“How educated Sylvan Lake has become. Kids go to school to Grade 12, we thought the three R’s could be taught by Grade 8.” And they teach in French.

Yet with change, Loiselle remained struck by the lake’s beauty. “How I remember the tranquility of early morning.

“The burnished trail of a sunset across the water. The sudden dark ferocity of a summer

storm. The reflection of autumn leaves burning the water into liquid gold, and the sharp crystalline beauty of winter ice … Beneath all of its unfamiliarity, the heart of my 1913 lake still beats.”

The performances were followed by a beef on a bun barbecue and music by Wooden Nickel. Over 500 tick-ets were sold for the barbecue.

In the arena, history boards created by about 60 groups and organi-zations were displayed. They’ll also be dis-played at Centennial events which are planned for this week-end.

Support from the community was overwhelming for the 4th charity Sylvan Lake RCMP Regimental Ball at the community centre May 25.

Jennifer Plotnikoff, program coor-dinator with Sylvan Lake and District Victim Services, said the evening was “amazing”. Over 250 people attended.

“The response was absolutely incredible,” she added. Now she’s hear-ing from people who wish they had attended. Some people didn’t realize the evening was open to the public, something they’ll stress the next time they plan a ball.

“It was a really amaz-ing night of fun and laughter,” she said. Yet it was also a formal event with RCMP members in red serge uniforms, toasts and speeches.

Detachment com-mander S/Sgt. Gary Rhodes welcomed the audience and noted that 2013 is the 140th anni-versary of the creation of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, the forerunner of the current RCMP. Formal balls have been held since the late 1880s to instill high morale, good fellowship and esprit de corp.

He added the RCMP were “pleased to support Victim Services” with the fundraising evening. “They play a key role. Thanks to Victim Services and all the vol-unteers, you truly make a difference,” Rhodes said.

He also noted the number of past members and employees who returned to support the event. “That says a lot about this detachment.”

Chief Superintendent Curtis Zablocki, replying to a toast to the force stated the RCMP have a long and rich history in Alberta. “Celebrating history is one of the most endearing traditions.”

He added the RCMP have “build strong relationships with the citizens of Sylvan Lake and area. That’s funda-mental to our success. Your presence here tells me the RCMP will endure. Thank you for 100 years of steadfast support.”

Speaking to staff he said he daily sees “examples of exceptional police work in communities throughout the province. Canadians do value and appreciate what you do on their behalf. Because of the strong history of citizen support the RCMP continues to stand for what Canadians stand for.”

“Absolutely incredible” response from community

Cst. Scott Smith, now stationed in Red Deer, han-dled the live auction portion of the evening drawing some high bids from the audience. A variety of items, many of them unique to the RCMP, were also offered during the silent auction.

Remi’s Catering served a delicious meal.Plotnikoff said Tuesday that she doesn’t have a

final total of how much was raised but said it was significantly more than the $20,000-$25,000 raised during the annual Victim Services golf tournaments. This year the golf tournament was cancelled because the Regimental Ball was held.

The last Regimental Ball in Sylvan Lake took place in 2003, said former detachment commander, S/Sgt. Tim Gilbert.

Plotnikoff suggested the next Regimental Ball would be held in several years, partially because of the amount of work involved in organizing such an event. She predicted they’d have to use the multiplex because they were filled to capacity at this year’s eve-ning.

Saturday, June 1st12:01 a.m. – A 30-year-old Ponoka

male is facing charges of impaired driving and possession of marijuana in relation to a traffic stop on Highway 20 in Sylvan Lake. Two males on motorcycles exited Cities Gastro Pub and progressed from 47th Avenue onto Highway 20 where police observed them speeding and driving erratically. One of the males was stopped and was given a breathalyzer which resulted in impaired driving charges. A search of his person also resulted in the recovery of a quantity of mari-juana.

2:31 a.m. – A complaint was dispatched of a fight outside Open Range Saloon on Sylvan Drive in Sylvan Lake. Three to four people were involved in an altercation and one male was taken into custody for causing a disturbance. Witnesses advised that two friends began an argument which became physical. One male left the scene on foot and the other male was lodged in cells until sober.

2:49 a.m. – RCMP were called to a residence on Ryders Ridge Boulevard in Sylvan Lake after a male was reportedly found passed out beside a fire hydrant. The male was not moving and was checked by members who had to lift him into the police vehicle due to his level of intoxication. He was housed in cells until sober.

4:14 p.m. – An elderly Red Deer County woman report-ed an incident of telephone fraud to police after she received a call from another female offering a low interest rate of six per cent on her credit card. The victim gave her current credit card number to the caller and then immediately con-tacted her credit card company to cancel the card after she

was informed that it was fraud. RCMP are reminding people to never give out any personal or financial information over the phone as telephone fraud is extremely prevalent.

Wednesday, June 5th 5:56 p.m. – Police received a com-

plaint of theft of patio furniture from a residence on 35 Street in Sylvan Lake. The homeowners returned home to realize that someone had entered their property and removed furniture from in front of the home. A wrought iron table and four chairs were stolen. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the furniture is asked to contact Sylvan Lake RCMP.

9:47 p.m. – A 33-year-old Sylvan Lake male is facing a charge of assault after RCMP were called to a domestic dis-pute on Herder Drive in Sylvan Lake. Dispatch received a 911 call from a female who advised that she was being assaulted by her spouse. The phone was disconnected shortly afterward and police arrived to find a 39-year-old female suffering from injury to the left side of her head. Two young children were present in the homebut were not injured. Alcohol was a factor.

Thursday, June 6th 9:39 p.m. – RCMP were called to a residence on

Hallgren Drive in Sylvan Lake after reports of a disturbance outside the location. A 24-year-old male was arrested after he used a bat to smash windows at the residence. The home-owner was known to the male and did not want to press charges for the damage. The accused was arrested at the scene for an outstanding warrant and released to appear in court.

by Cameron KennedyRed Deer Advocate

Hundreds of Kenyan students burst into peals of laughter as they watch classmates and teachers learn to cycle at Kiprengwe Primary School.

Some of the riders — less than a dozen in all — take to the small, black Afrikid bicycles, during the now-not-so-secret cycling lesson, like ducks to water.

Others lurch and swerve, wobble and wipe out as they try to navigate the lumpy hilltop field.

Amidst the barely controlled chaos, Kelly MacVicar and Melissa Farahat are doing all they can to prop up one female student, dressed in one of the school’s ubiq-uitous forest green sweaters and peacock blue dresses.

She spends more time riding the coaster brake than pedalling forward during the lesson, much to the Canadian women’s cha-grin.

The cycling lesson was a highlight of a recent mission to Kenya for MacVicar and Farahat, who donated 205 Afrikid and AfricaBike bicycles to Kiprengwe Primary and Chepseon Secondary schools on May 11.

The women raised more than $50,000 to buy the bikes, which were delivered to

Kenya with the help of a Lacombe-based international development agency, A Better World.

“We’ve had some challenges, but today definitely made it all come together and worthwhile,” said MacVicar, relaxing back at the hotel after meeting with school offi-cials to finalize the bike distribution plan.

“It was a little overwhelming to actually see them ride the bikes,” added Farahat, a touch sunburned but still exhuberant. “It felt really good.”

The mission by MacVicar and Farahat to Kiprengwe was actually their second visit to the small, rural community, located about three hours northwest of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

MacVicar, a 27-year-old human resourc-es officer who grew up in Sylvan Lake, and Farahat, a 28-year-old legal assistant from Airdrie, met on A Better World mission to Kenya in 2009.

MacVicar’s mother, a high school teach-er at H. J. Cody High School in Sylvan Lake, had helped raise money to build classrooms at Kiprengwe Primary. MacVicar tagged along to attend the grand opening ceremo-ny.

Farahat was looking for adventure when she signed up. She had heard about A Better World through a friend and contacted the organization to see if there was a trip avail-

able.While visiting Kiprengwe in 2009,

MacVicar and Farahat noted just how far some of the students had to walk to attend school, and the effect all that walking had to have on their studies.

“It’s pretty striking to think the students are going to school from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and then they are walking five, 10, 15 km a day to and from school,” said MacVicar.

“And having to walk home at lunch,” added Farahat.

MacVicar and Farahat stayed in touch after the trip and tried to figure out how they could help. About a year later, Farahat brought an advertisement for Kona’s Basic Needs program to MacVicar’s attention over coffee.

The goal of the bicycle manufacturer’s program is to donate Kona AfricaBikes to organizations and individuals who can ben-efit from a bicycle. For ever two bikes pur-chased from Kona, the company donates a third.

The idea to give bicycles to Kiprengwe’s students was born.

“We thought, ‘That’s perfect. That’s how we can give back to the community,’” said Farahat.

The women emailed Kona and the com-pany climbed on board the project immedi-ately.

Farahat said the original goal was to give Kona’s AfricaBikes to every student at Kiprengwe, all 530 of them.

But Kona suggested Kiprengwe’s stu-dents would be too small to ride its adult bike. It offered to design a smaller version of its AfricaBike that would be suitable for rough, hilly terrain around the school.

Eight months later, Kona unveiled the Afrikid bike, a mix between one of its AfricaBikes and a children’s mountain bike. The Afrikid bike has rugged tires and three gears to tackle Kiprengwe’s hills, and it comes with a child-friendly basket and book holder.

“They are durable and low maintenance, that’s the idea of the Afrikid bike,” said MacVicar.

Designing a mountain bike specifically for Kiprengwe’s terrain was the first of many obstacles that MacVicar and Farahat navigated during the two-and-a-half year project.

Neither was an avid cyclist, nor did they know much about fundraising, event mar-keting, volunteer leadership or import/export regulations.

Simply shipping the bikes to Kenya from Kona’s manufacturer in Cambodia took about a year to pull off, and it cost a lot more than expected.

Providing momentum to African students

Continued from page 12“For the past two and a half years, it has

been a total roller-coaster. We wanted to give up a lot of times,” said Farahat, who estimated she sent about 2,000 emails about the shipping arrangements alone.

“We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into until it was too late to back out.”

But the women persevered — with “a ton of support from friends and family.”

Their first fundraiser, a moun-tain bike race at Canmore Nordic Centre in September 2011, drew about 40 racers and raised about $10,000. Donations continued to slowly roll in over the next year or so.

A silent auction and live music night in early 2013 finally put them over the top.

Don Yeun, an investment advi-sor from Calgary, collected enough sponsors to buy six bikes at that first fundraiser in Canmore. Earlier this year, he received an email from MacVicar and Farahat, who were looking for volunteers to assemble bikes in Kenya. It was a little short notice, but Yeun said he and his wife, Heather, thought that it sounded like a great way to go to Africa.

The Yeuns were among eight Canadian volunteers, mostly friends or friends of friends, who travelled to the East African coun-try with the women to help assem-ble the bikes, which took about two and a half days to complete.

Yeun said there were a few minor problems with the bikes, but for the most part they looked pretty rugged and the assembly process went smoothly.

“We actually had a couple of (local) bike mechanics that came and helped out,” he said. “Without them I think we would not have got it done Friday night.”

Yeun said the biggest challenge facing the project down the road was normal wear and tear.

Based on his experience riding mountain bikes over similar ter-rain, the Afrikid bicycle tires should last 3,000 to 5,000 km.

If the students rode their bicy-cles 15 to 20 km daily, the tires would last only two or three years, said Yeun.

That means there would be a whole slew of tires that would need to be replaced at once. The front brake pads would also wear out sooner than later.

“I’m not saying that A Better World has to buy all this stuff, like new pads or tires, but somewhere, someone has to be budgeting for it,” said Yeun, who planned to raise his con-cerns with MacVicar and Farahat.

MacVicar and Farahat’s dream to deliver bicycles to Kenya was not without its skep-tics.

One of those was Eric Rajah. Co-founder of A Better World, Rajah admitted he was very apprehensive about the project when the women first approached him about get-ting involved. He questioned whether giv-

ing bikes to Kiprengwe students was even one of the community’s priorities. His other concerns included whether the bikes would be stolen, sold to feed a hungry family or promote bullying at the school.

As the project gathered momentum, Rajah wondered whether the bikes would make it to Kenya at all, how they would be secured until MacVicar and Farahat’s team arrived, where the bikes would be assem-bled, and how they would be distributed.

“I know we cannot even run a medical clinic without people pushing and shoving,” said Rajah before the trip, fearing a similar outcome at Kiprengwe.

MacVicar and Farahat were determined to avoid an ugly scene on delivery day.

At Rajah’s urging, they met with princi-pals of Kiprengwe Primary and Chepseon Secondary schools to hammer out a distri-bution plan ahead of time.

All the parties involved agreed the bikes would be owned by the schools, which would give them to Grade 7, 8 and 9 stu-dents and teachers who had to walk at least five km to school. Each school also received a few bikes for their phys ed programs.

The women also sought assurances from the principals that the bike project would continue to operate in the years to come.

MacVicar said she left the meeting feel-ing reassured that their dream was actually

going to make a difference in the lives of Kiprengwe students.

So did Rajah.He said MacVicar, Farahat and their

team worked extremely hard and cleared a lot of speed bumps along the way. Improving access to education appeared to be one of the community’s priorities after all, but only time would tell how they navigated around those obstacles.

“I’ll do a follow up in July and see how many bikes are actually in place and work-ing,” said Rajah. “That will be the ultimate test.”

School officials, who received only two days notice before the bikes arrived, were surprised but thrilled to receive the bicy-cles.

David Kikwai, principal of Kiprengwe Primary, called the bicycles a very thought-

ful gift.Many Kiprengwe students had

to travel a long way to reach the school, he said, and the bicycles should help them to continue to improve their performance on tests.

Kikwai said he believed the bike program would be sustain-able because students, teachers, parents and the community had a stake in its success. Parents would be responsible for keeping the bicycles in good repair. If a bike was stolen, the parents would be responsible for replacing it, he said.

Abraham Rutto, the district education officer, said the bicycle project was one of a kind. Transporting children to school was a challenge faced by many communities in the region, since most families could not afford to buy motorbikes. The bicycles would help Kiprengwe students save time and energy, which they could spend on doing their assignments, he said.

Rutto added his only worry was that the project would only benefit two schools when there were so many facing similar chal-lenges. He said he hoped parents in neighbouring communities would emulate the project at their schools.

MacVicar wouldn’t rule out doing another project down the road.

“At the end of the day, we are both very committed to support-ing A Better World in one way or another, whether it be another bike project or something else,” she said.

Dozens of Kenyan students burst into song as four large trucks tightly packed with bicy-cles arrive at Chepseon Secondary School for the official delivery ceremony.

Storm clouds roll menacingly overhead as the bicycles are unloaded, creating a black carpet of handle bars, seats and tires along the school’s fenceline.

The appreciative speeches end with a clap of thunder and a

trickle of lucky rain that quickly becomes a torrent, forcing the volunteers to take cover under the school’s narrow eaves as they distribute the bikes.

Some of the students immediately push their bikes to the top of the school’s hill and ride them down, splashing through the pools of water forming in the field below.

Two Sylvan Lake Nautical swim-mers qualified and attended the Cascade Swimming International meet May 30th to June 2nd in Calgary.

Four-day meets are hard on swim-mers as the days are long. At this meet swimmers could qualify for and swim up to eight events throughout the weekend.

Elizabeth Moore (12) competed in eight events making finals in six of them, totalling 14 races she had to compete in. Elizabeth had a fantastic meet and added two more National times to the three she had prior. She got her National times in 50m and 100m butterfly events, and she swam

a 13-year-old ‘A’ time in 200m but-terfly. Elizabeth got five personal best times and broke three more club records. She won three silver medals — 200m breaststroke, 100m butterfly and 100m breaststroke. She also placed fourth in 200m butterfly and 50m backstroke and fifth in 50m but-terfly.

Amber Carson (14) competed in five events during the four-day meet and made it into three finals.

She swam five personal best times and broke all five club records. Amber had a very good meet as well and got a silver medal in 200m butterfly. She placed sixth in 100m butterfly and seventh in 50m butterfly. Amber does as great job in those long and gruel-ling races like 200m butterfly.

Both are off to Medicine Hat this weekend to compete and will be joined by Ann Duffy and Lexi Sparrow.

Last weekend Coach Kim Matthews was in St. Albert with five of our under 10 swimmers at the OSC 10 & under series. This is a series that runs throughout the season with five different meets geared towards

Eight club records broken by two Nauticals at international meetyounger and newer swimmers.

In the 7 & under girls, Abby Bahler and Kamryn Girard, both only six years old, did an amazing job getting best times in most of their swims. This was Kamryn’s second real meet and Abby’s very first meet.

Nine year old girls Leightan Yablonski and Eden Price have both been attending meets for the past year and are gaining great confidence and speed. Both got best times in most of their swims and really gave the younger girls someone to look up to.

Representing the nine year old boys was Isaac Bahler. He had a lot of fun and was an inspiration for his little sister. He was keen to swim the 100 IM and even though his goggles broke while at the starting blocks he even started the race after all the swimmers were already racing and got a best time for his efforts.

Coach Kim thanked Emily Girard for help-ing with the six year old girls making sure they knew what race they were swimming and making sure they got to the blocks on time.

The École H. J. Cody High School boys soccer team won the B side trophy for the first time in history on the weekend. The team includes, in the back, Randall Prediger (coach), Shunsuke Takae, Tristan Hagan, Riley Prediger, Aden Smaill, Morgan Drews, Tyson Maton, Cody Rumbolt, Gallan Donaghy, Thomas Beckwith, and Alastair Smith (assistant coach); and in front Dagan Slimmon, Bryce Marshall, Kyle Archibald, Tyler Ledwos, Cam Lee and Yuta Sakamoto.

École H. J. Cody Lakers boys soccer team finished their regular season with hard fought losses to Notre Dame last Tuesday (3-0) and Olds (3-2) last Thursday relegating them to the B Side in the Central Alberta High School Soccer Association.

In the semi-finals the Lakers met Olds again and soundly defeated them 3-0 with two goals from Aden Smaill and one from Riley Prediger.

The finals featured a formidable foe in the Raiders from Lindsay Thurber. For the first time in many years the Lakers defeated them in early May by the count of 3-0. This set up a highly anticipated re-match and chal-lenged the Lakers to prove that the game result in May was not a fluke.

The Raiders opened scoring in the first half off a goal from a corner kick and added another with less

than 10 minutes to play to make it 2-0. Realizing that their season was on the line the Lakers quickly responded with a solid blast from Aden Smaill from inside the 18 yard box less than 30 seconds later. The Lakers continued to press and were rewarded with a corner kick from Cam Lee that was converted by Tyson Maton with less than three minutes remaining.

The “Golden Goal” double overtime proved score-less and both teams lined for a shootout. Each team scored with their first four shots and were down to their last scorer.

Morgan Drews made a brilliant diving save to stop the Raiders last attempt. The Lakers fifth shooter, Riley Prediger, shot the ball high missing the net. However, in dramatic fashion he was rewarded a re-shot because the goalie charged the ball prior to Prediger kicking it. He wasted no time in burying his second attempt awarding the Lakers a 3-2 win and their first trophy on the B side.

Erin Bryenton, 14, and Callin Harris, 10, were selected to represent Team Alberta; Bryenton on the girls bantam team, and Harris on the boys peewee team.

Bryenton will head to Halifax, N.S. in late July for nationals, while Harris will travel to Whitby, Ontario in early August.

Both play lacrosse for Sylvan Lake Buccaneers teams, and for Bryenton, it will be her second year playing for Team Alberta.

“It’s really exciting, because it’s what I like to do,” she said. “I kind of know more what it’s like and it

won’t be as hard this time.”A second-year bantam

player, Bryenton described making Team Alberta as her greatest accomplishment so far as a lacrosse player.

During six years in the sport, she’s played in games and tournaments as far away as Las Vegas.

She’ll attend various camps and practices in Calgary and Edmonton to

prepare for nationals.Bryenton was introduced to the sport by her

older brother, and likes playing it because of its high level of intensity. She hopes to one day receive a lacrosse scholarship.

For the time being, however, she’s fully focused

on achieving success with Team Alberta, and is very much enjoying certain aspects of playing on the team.

“My Team Alberta team is all girls, and my Sylvan Lake team is mostly all boys,” she said, Most of her Team Alberta teammates reside in Calgary and Edmonton.

Ten-year-old Callin Harris is preparing for his first season as a Team Alberta player, and said he was surprised when he received the phone call informing him he’d made the team.

“I never thought I was going to make it when I went into the tryouts, but then I made it past the first cut,” he said. “It was pretty exciting.”

Harris is a first-year peewee player, and compet-ed against a number of older, more experience sec-ond-year players for a spot on the roster.

He’s in his fourth year as a lacrosse player, and likes the sport because of the advanced hand-eye co-

ordination it requires of its players. As a hockey player in winter months, he feels

partaking in other sports during the year ensures he is fully prepared for the lacrosse season.

“I play hockey in the winter, and it has really built up my legs,” he said, adding that his lacrosse season this year will be prolonged because of his involve-ment with Team Alberta.

“It’s usually just two months, but with Team Alberta, it will take up most of my summer.”

Harris and a player from Stettler were the only players from Central Alberta to make the team. The majority of the others are from Calgary and Edmonton.

Harris acknowledged that playing on the team will provide him a new challenge, but feels it will be a good experience.

The 3rd annual Muscles in Motion event in support of those affected by neuromuscu-lar disorders and raising funds for Muscular Dystrophy Canada took place June 5 at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park.

The event was organized through Muscular Dystrophy Canada by Kim Reinhart with Optimal Fitness. Her nephew has been battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy since he was diagnosed at the age of six. Now turning 15, he’s confined to a wheelchair and has limited mobility. Those affected progressively lose their muscle abil-ity and eventually it can be fatal at a very

young age. The goal with Muscles in Motion is to

challenge the physical abilities of partici-pants to help them to remember not to take their muscles for granted. The goal is to continue to raise awareness of the disorder and especially funds to go towards research in finding a cure.

An 8 km trail run through the paths of Jarvis Bay Provincial Park was completed by 51 runners challenged through rugged ter-rain and great inclines.

New this year, was a childrens 1 km trail run and fitness obstacle course that included 22 children climbing and crawling through the course and flipping tires. The adult team challenge involved 10 teams that participated in five, eight minute stations all geared

around firefighter training. Firefighters are the main supporters of this charity.

A huge thank you to all our sponsors for donating to the event, especially the towards the silent auction. The auction raised over $3,000 that was added to over $12,000 raised by participants.

The top fundraising team was Aries Airflow which raised over $4,500. A grand total is still being finalized as donations are continuing to come in, but definitely over $15,000 has been raised so far.

Live music was provided by the Brendan Kelly Band and the day included a barbecue.

A special thanks to all the volunteers, spectators, sponsors and participants that made the event such a success!

Muscles challenged as over

$15,000 raised for Muscular Dystrophy

Fifty-one runners jogged from the start line during the 8 km. trail run which was part of Muscles in Motion at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park, June 5. The event was a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

Marek Filipek (230) climbed hand over hand under the ladder while Nicolas Crooks (235) climbed up the stairs and went across the top of the ladder during the kids chal-lenge.

Youngsters scrambled over monkey bars and under noodles as part of the kids challenge at Muscles in Motion.
