May 212:43 a.m. – RCMP
attended Four Seasons Community Center in Sylvan Lake in response to a complaint of several youths in the park drinking and causing a disturbance. Two youths were located and taken home to their parents. A second call was received of another distur-bance at that location and two youths, aged 16, were arrested and charged with disturbing the peace and mischief under $5,000.
4:54 a.m. – A routine patrol by RCMP on 33rd Street in Sylvan Lake resulted in charges against the occupants of a vehicle. An oncoming vehicle was approaching a police vehi-cle at a high rate of speed in the 40 km/hour zone west of the traffic circle. The vehicle was stopped and both occupants, a male driver and female passen-

ger, exhibited obvious signs of impairment. A roadside screening device was uti-lized and a 23-year-old Red Deer male is charged with impaired driving and hav-ing a blood alcohol level over .08. A 34-year-old female from Blairmore was fined for illegal consump-tion of alcohol in a vehicle and transporting liquor within easy access of an occupant.
10:15 p.m. – A 19-year-old male is charged in rela-tion to an erratic driving incident on Highway 11A near Range Road 21. The driver of a truck doing speeds in excess of 160 km/hour passed a fully marked police vehicle and another vehicle and then swerved back into the eastbound lane continuing at a high rate of speed. The driver, a resident of Benalto, is charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehi-
cle under the Criminal Code.
May 34:56 a.m. – Several
Criminal Code charges have been laid against an Edmonton male in relation to an erratic driving inci-dent on Lakeshore Drive at 49th Street in Sylvan Lake. Police were attempting to stop an erratic driver when the vehicle sped away. Other units assisted and the vehicle was stopped in a parking lot on 50th Avenue. Several opened cans and cases of alcohol were located in the bed of the truck with alcohol spilled inside the cab of the vehicle. The vehicle’s owner was notified and advised that his truck had been sto-len. As a result, an 18-year-old male is charged with theft of a truck; dangerous operation of a motor vehi-cle; operation of a motor vehicle while being pur-sued by police; impaired care and control of a vehi-cle; and various other offences.
May 411:11 a.m. – RCMP are
investigating the theft of a motorcycle from a business in the Eckville area. A fence was cut leading to the compound at Rainy Creek Powersports and a motor-cycle was stolen.
May 56:56 a.m. – A break and
enter into a business in Sylvan Lake resulted in a Dodge truck and a couple
of quads being stolen. Several 5th wheels were also entered into while parked on the property. A Dodge pickup was used to ram the fence to the busi-ness located on Sylvaire Close. The vehicle was later located in a ditch with the hood up. No occupants were located.
May 62:50 p.m. – RCMP
received a complaint of a vehicle entered into while parked at an address on 52nd Avenue in Bentley. A wallet containing various ID and credit cards was also stolen along with keys to the vehicle. Credit cards in the wallet had been used by the time the owner noticed the theft. RCMP once again are reminding residents not to leave valu-ables of any kind inside unattended vehicles.
8:18 p.m. – A 51-year-old male from Ponoka is facing impaired driving charges as a result of a traf-fic stop on Sylvan Drive at Whitecap Close in Sylvan Lake. A truck was wit-nessed being driven errati-cally on Highway 20 and was followed to 50th Street where police intercepted the vehicle. The vehicle was eventually stopped on Whitecap Close.

motor vehicle and failing to provide a breath sample. He was also fined for unlawful possession of liquor and operating a motor vehicle without holding a license.
May 79:51 p.m. – A 911 call
was received of a group of males speeding and driv-ing erratically on Township Road 382. The suspect vehicle eventually got stuck in the ditch where three males were located on scene by RCMP. Two of the males were heavily intoxi-cated and several cans of beer were found inside the vehicle. As impaired oper-ation could not be proven, the males were arrested for being intoxicated in a pub-lic place and received fines for illegal consumption in a vehicle. One of the males was also arrested on an outstanding warrant.
11:06 p.m. – RCMP were called to a domestic dispute on 48th Avenue in
Sylvan Lake. A witness reported hearing some yelling and sounds of pos-sible physical violence.

4:07 p.m. – A 27-year-old Sylvan Lake male was stopped for speeding on Highway 11 at Highway 781 in Sylvan Lake.

The vehicle was seized and towed at the scene.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICY
Production:Red Deer, Alberta
Published every Thursday by PNG Prairie Newspaper Group in
On May 1, 2015, an interesting thing happened. The United States and Canada came to agreement about transporting oil and other flammable liquids.
No, they did not agree to build more pipelines — rather, they agreed to implement just under 400 pages worth of new standards that are intended to reduce the risk of transporting oil by rail, a mode of hydrocarbon transport that has seen rapid growth in the last few years.
The new standards include new tank-car design standards; retrofit standards and timelines; new operational protocols that touch on routing, speed restrictions and government notifications; new testing and labelling requirements; and, perhaps most controversially, a requirement for installing elec-tronically-controlled pneumatic braking systems
As always, government and
industry are at odds over the cost and timeline for the adoption of the new rules, though industry seems to be accepting the costs, and is mostly wary of the new rules “aggressive” schedule for replacement/retrofitting of the rail car fleet. And undoubtedly (as one of us wrote last year), the new cars will be costly, and the timeline hard to achieve. But the interest-ing question is, will the new rules make us safer?
Research on rail accidents has found human error to be a leading cause. In a study of 237 rail acci-dents in the United Kingdom from 1945 to 2012, researchers found that: “[rail] accidents ... primarily occur during the peak hours and at the end of a week, i.e. Friday. Train drivers are responsible for the majority of the accidents. This result is in agreement with previ-ous studies ... [a]pproximately 73 per cent of the accidents were attributed solely to train drivers, while the majority of the accidents were related to signal passed at
danger (more than 70 per cent).”The U.K. study conveys the fact
that, whether we like it or not, human error is what most often leads to accidents, something evermore regulation will be hard pressed to completely eliminate.
Indeed, in one of the recent oil-by-rail accidents in Northern Ontario, the railway cars involved in the accident had upgraded safe-ty features, which weren’t present on the cars in the tragic Lac-Mégantic disaster. In this situa-tion, “safer” cars yielded similar results.
The problem may not be in the nature of the crude, or the nature of the cars, but rather in the ongo-ing war over pipelines.
Crude oil exports by rail from Canada to the U.S. have increased from 42,000 barrels a year in 2010 to almost 42 million barrels per year in 2014, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Much of this increase can be attributed to the absence of new pipeline infra-
structure.Yet pipelines continue to be the
safest method for transporting oil. A review of oil transportation methods in the U.S. found that oil transport by pipeline was associ-ated with fewer incidents, fatalities and injuries per ton-mile trans-ported, when compared with rail and truck.
Rail and roadway transport of oil have always (and will always) have some applicability for the transport of oil, but the choice of transport mode has consequences. While the new regulations may make some aspects of transport-ing oil by rail safer, it would be unfortunate indeed if the pro-posed new rules divert us from the more important question: what’s the best way to move oil safely and efficiently to market?
Safer rail transport still can’t compete with pipeline safety

Two men have been arrested after police were alerted to the sighting of an allegedly stolen truck in the Benalto area May 13.
Sylvan Lake RCMP on May 12 were called to a break and enter complaint at the Sylvan Lake Industrial Park, where a Ford F-350 truck had reportedly been stolen.
At around 2 p.m. the next day, police responded to a report that the truck had been seen being taken apart at a rural Benalto-area property. A member of the public reported the sighting after learning of the truck’s theft through social media.
Upon police’s arrival, the suspect fled the scene with the stolen truck. Out of concern for public safety, police at that time decided against pursuing the sus-pect further.
Further investigation eventually led police back to the property, where they arrested two males without incident.
Travis Patrick Meyers, 29, of Red Deer County, has been charged with posses-sion of stolen property over $5,000, flight from police and failing to comply with previous release conditions.
He’s currently on bail with conditions set and a court appearance in Red
Arrests made following sighting of allegedly
stolen truckDeer scheduled for June 3.
Gary Raymond Auvigne, 39, of Penhold, has been charged with three counts of possession of another person’s identity docu-ments, two counts of pos-session of stolen property valued under $5,000, two counts of possession of sto-len property valued over $5,000, three counts of fail-ing to comply with proba-tion, four counts of failing to comply with a recogni-zance and 16 counts of pos-session of a controlled sub-stance for the purpose of trafficking.
He was scheduled to make a court appearance in Red Deer on Tuesday.
Police are continuing to investigate the May 12 break and enter, and are asking anyone with information on the crime to contact the Sylvan Lake RCMP detach-ment at 403-858-7200.
Those who wish to remain anonymous may do so by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or online through www.tip-submit.com.

Helping Hands Playschool will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary May 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Alliance Community Church.
Everyone is welcome to attend the celebration. Children will be able to play in a bouncy castle, have their faces painted and eat cake with their parents.
Playschool teacher Shawn Palm said there are about 57 children, ages three to five, who attend each week.
Palm said she and the other playschool teacher, Crystal Graham, aim to create a creative atmosphere where the children can learn and have fun.
“It's a fun and creative place to come and learn,” Palm said. “We like to have fun and we like to be creative. It's a playschool environment where the children can play, have story time, songs, puppets and a whole bunch of other things.”
Palm said the children learn the “bucket filling” phi-losophy, which helps them learn social skills such as how to get along with each other and share.
She also said the program is faith-based, but open to anyone.
“We have Bible stories and themes,” Palm said. “Families can still come even if they don't go to church. This is open to everybody, and everyone is welcome.”

– SERVICES THIS WEEK –sponsored by churches of Sylvan Lake Ministerial Association
We live in a friendless world. Many people today are without friends, without God. As a result, in deep inside they are hungry for relationships, friendships. They are hungry for relationship with God and with other people. Perhaps this is why psychotherapists or counselors have achieved an almost godlike status in our society. The universal experience of the human race is that we were made for relationships. It is because God has made us that way. He has made us in His image.
We were made for relationships. We are persons in relationships. So fi rst of all, we are supposed to have a relationship with God. Christian reality has been shaped by the encounters with personal God. Without having a relationship with personal God, people live in the impersonal world. We are just strangers. We don’t recognize each other. We don’t particularize each other. The poet T. S. Eliot reminds us, ‘as we watch the faces in the street or in the subway train. The desert is not to be found
in southern climates, but in the tube train, in the neighbor next to you’.
What is the Church? Church is a body of Christ. We are one body. We are all particular, unique persons. We are particular parts of the body. But we are one in God, in love, in unity. We should be like God in community. Community is a great ideal. Everybody wants it; but few achieve it. We should try to build an authentic community. Not just a kind of exclusive sect or club, but a caring, loving community. And I pray that we may grow in our friendship with God and with each other in and through our community. No Christian is born as a spiritual adult. We need to grow and mature spiritually. But we are not left by ourselves in this journey toward spiritual growth. In fact, a person cannot command spiritual growth for oneself. We are supposed to grow together as one body. This is what churches are for.

The Chinook Triathlon Festival will be coming to Sylvan Lake Aug. 1, replacing the Sylvan Lake Loop Triathlon that was scheduled for July 19 this year.
The main cause for replacing the Sylvan Lake Loop Triathlon was lack of participant registra-
tions, stated Three Lakes Triathlon Series race director Steve Brown.
“Our registrations were not where we needed them to be to produce a viable race,” he said. “Unfortunately we were facing an uphill battle as we tried to overcome past history with the Sylvan Lake event.”
According to Brown it was a struggle to decide on what to
do, as there is an obligation to the athletes and the commu-nity of Sylvan Lake.
Race director for the Chinook Triathlon Festival Jordan Bryden is thrilled with the race being moved to Sylvan Lake. He said the race has been one of the defining races in Alberta, but had to be relocated. Finding a new suitable location was difficult, he said.
“The race was held in south-east Calgary for a number of years, and finding a location with an accessible lake and good, safe roads was proving prob-lematic.”
Brown said he was satisfied with the decision.
“The meeting we had with Sylvan Lake to make the announcement to them was overwhelmingly positive,” he
said. “We had the Alberta Triathlon Association at the table as well and they too were pleased by the outcome. We believe everyone wins with this decision — athletes, organizers and the community of Sylvan Lake.”
Bryden further commented that he is proud to have helped create a triathlon that will offer an “organic feeling” that works
well with the festival atmosphere that Sylvan Lake is known for.
“We have established a unique environment that is easily accessible by athletes liv-ing in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer,” Bryden said. “Our event has restructured to create a course that works with the Sylvan Lake community to benefit the town and avoid many traffic flow and water use issues.”

Sylvan Lake’s Falcon Homes is the recipient of four Excellence in Housing Awards, presented in Red Deer to businesses in the residential construction industry May 9.
During the gala, hosted by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s Central Alberta chapter, the home building company was named the winner in the categories of Best New Home Between $225,000 and $259,999, Best New Home Between $375,000 and $449,999, Safety Leadership, and Excellence in Interior Design.
Interior designers Gina Pardy, Kevin Pardy and Stephanie Fehr received special recognition in the latter-most category.
General manager John Christie said the recognition was a testament to the hard work of both the company’s employees and others who work alongside them.
“It just shows that with the help of our trades and sup-pliers as well as our staff, we’re working really hard to pro-vide beautiful homes to our customers,” he said. “It’s nice to be recognized within the industry. It makes it all worth-while.”
Clearview Glass Service of Sylvan Lake also received recognition on the night, and was awarded Trade of the Year (Small Category).
Owner Len Campbell, whose business was also recently nominated for a provincewide small business award, admit-ted to being surprised by the most recent nod.
But that didn’t make it any less satisfying, he assured.“This one surprised me,” he said. “I didn’t realize we had
been nominated, and we were up against pretty tough com-petition.
“(Winning the award) is a tribute to my staff and how hard they work.”
The awards were presented in front of a crowd of more than 500 people who gathered at Red Deer’s Sheraton Hotel and Exhibition Centre for the occasion.
Recipients were acknowledged for their excellence, innovation and creativity in the industry.
Outside of the two Sylvan Lake businesses, award win-ners hailed primarily from within Red Deer.

F a m i l i a r tunes - The band from École Secondaire Notre Dame High School in Red Deer played some familiar tunes for the teachers, students and band students at École Mother Teresa School May 1. JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN

A group of students learn-ing the Spanish language at HJ Cody School had the fortunate adventure of meet-ing several people from South America in Red Deer earlier this month.
Lauren Charanduk, a Spanish and humanities teacher at HJ Cody School, took her students to the Central Alberta Refugee Effort (CARE) centre in Red Deer, where several adults from South America are learning the English language.
The mini field trip lasted for about an hour, but with-in that time frame, many new friendships were made between both sets of students.
“It was great for my stu-dents,” Charanduk said. “They gave up their lunch period to come with me, which is great of high school students. A lot of the CARE. students had stayed to be able to talk with my students. Both sides made an effort to come together.”
The participating CARE students were of a wide age span, and came from a vari-ety of backgrounds and places, including Mexico, Columbia, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Charanduk said they’re all permanent residents who have the aim of becoming Canadian citizens.
During the one hour of her students conversing with the Spanish-speaking immi-grants, her students experi-enced speaking with a variety of different accents from different countries, giving
Spanish-speaking students learn from each otherthem the experience of hear-ing different slangs being used.
“It really opens them up to a whole new world, espe-cially being from Sylvan Lake,” Charanduk said. “There are not many oppor-tunities to speak with a large population of immigrants, especially coming from Third World countries.”
She said it's an interesting perspective she wanted to share with her students because she thought they would benefit from meeting people with different back-grounds who are doing the same thing her students are — learning another language.
“My students are learning Spanish, those students are learning English,” Charanduk said. “They are both learning. It's very hard to learn a second language and it shows the dedication that those people are willing to put into their instruction.”
Charanduk said she want-ed her students to learn two things — that learning a second language is difficult and requires a lot of work and dedication, and she wanted her students to see and learn how dedicated people can be when they come to Canada and have to learn the English language.
She said a lot of Canadians don't think about learning a second language because they are somewhat isolated in comparison to places such as Europe.
By taking her students to meet the CARE students, she wanted them to make con-nections, have a variety of teachers to learn from and feel a sense of community.
“When my students were there it was fantastic because all of these Spanish-speaking people became their teachers and they corrected their pronunciation,” Charanduk said. “They told them which
words to say and figured out how to help my students. It's fascinating when you can have two cultures come together and share their interests.”
Charanduk said she had pre-planned some conversa-tion starters, such as shared interests the students could find common ground on. She even prepared a sheet of sentences in case her students got stuck in a conversation. The interactions were fluid and the students even showed each other family photos on their iPhones.
“It was great because as the conversations went on we switched people around and it became more natural and fluid,” Charanduk said. “A lot of them got off topic and were pointing out pictures of their family on their iPhones — it was fantastic.”
Grade 12 student Madison McDonald said she enjoyed the experience as a way of learning a new language.
“It was awesome to get to speak with people who actu-ally speak the Spanish lan-guage, and not just someone else who is learning it as well,” she said. “You get to solidify your knowledge, and even get help with pronunciation and grammar and all that kind of stuff. It was such a good experience to have.”
Grade 10 student Meghan
Orich was equally impressed by the opportunity, and said it helped her overcome her fear of speaking in a foreign language.
“I learned not to be afraid to speak in a different lan-guage to these people, because they are doing it too,” she said. “I’m not very fluent in Spanish, but we had some pretty decent conversations.”

Students showcase educational talents at learning exhibitionJASMINE O’HALLORAN–HAN
SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
École Our Lady of the Rosary School buzzed with excitement as parents and special community mem-bers celebrated the school’s
Exhibition of Learning with teachers and students earlier this month.
Each classroom for the event was theme-based and each student constructed a project accordingly.
The various projects on
display centred on a spray park, a sports complex, plan-ets in outer space and boat building.
Visitors had the chance to tour, photograph and dis-cuss the projects.
This is the second year of the Exhibition of Learning was held at the school. Through it, according to principal Jodi Smith, stu-dents learn that learning is fun, engaging and challeng-ing.
“Learning is a process that keeps students editing their project, critically thinking about what their next steps will be and ana-lyzing and managing the information they are given,” Smith said.
She said the teachers used cross-curricular competen-cies to guide students in thinking critically, innova-tively and collaboratively while they made their proj-ects.
Smith said the exhibition is held not only to showcase and celebrate what the stu-dents have learned by doing their projects, it also gave the students the opportunity to speak with the different vis-itors and discuss why they made their projects the way they did.
“It’s to build confidence so students can discuss and answer questions people had,” Smith said. “It expands their thinking process.”
Smith said she received good feedback from the par-ents on the event. She said the parents enjoyed watch-ing their child shine while they presented their proj-ects.
”The parents love getting the chance to have their child be the expert and show such pride in their learning,” Smith said. “Parents were amazed by the students’ abil-ity to answer questions that required critical thinking.”

Sylvan Lake residents will have the unique opportunity of watching three local football players in action live online at www.vbnsports.com May 23.
Ethan Galliford, 11, Brett Zenert, 15, and Jacob Weller, 14, will travel to Kamloops, B.C., to represent Alberta in the ABC Border Bowl, an annual event in which top minor football players from British Columbia and Alberta play against each other. Recruiters from university teams all
across Canada have been known to attend in previous years.
The games will start with the Young Stars playing at noon, followed by the Future Stars at 2:15 p.m.
All three Sylvan Lake players are excited about going to play for the elite teams and have high expectations for what they want to accomplish and learn.
Galliford said the event marks one step closer to his dream of playing professional-ly.
He said he is looking forward to being a part of the Young Stars team and plans to
give his team everything he has.“I'm going to play hard and try and be a
good leader,” Galliford said. “I want to learn more skills so I can improve in football and get somewhere.”
Zenert said it feels awesome to have the opportunity to take part in the event. He expects playing for the elite team will be “a lot of fun.”
Zenert describes himself as athletic and said he hopes to develop his game skills by playing with the team. He also hopes to be noticed by the scouts who will be looking to recruit players.
“I want to get more out of football,” Zenert said. “I want to go further in foot-ball, be noticed and not just in Alberta.”
Weller is excited to be playing with a dif-ferent team and in a bigger game. He said playing with a new team will help him learn many new skills and different playing tech-niques.
“It's such a good team and there's so many different skills that each player has,” Weller said. “Being one of the youngest kids on the team, I look up to the older kids and try and take what they do and put it into my own move.”

Sylvan Lake’s Darwin Durnie has been recognized as one of North America’s Top 10 Public Works Leaders in 2015 for his dedication to providing public works services.
Darwin Durnie SUBMITTED
Sylvan Lake man recognized as being among top public works leaders in
North AmericaDurnie, along with other nine public works leaders, will
be honoured during the American Public Works Association’s (APWA) International Public Works Congress and Exposition in Phoenix, Arizona, Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. Durnie will also receive the award locally at a later date this year.
Durnie has spent over 30 years working in emergency management positions, and currently works as director of business development at Stantec Consulting in Red Deer. He has aided in a number of response and recovery efforts, at events including the 2005 Drumheller flooding, the 2011 fires in Slave Lake and the 2013 flooding in Southern Alberta.
“I helped them recover and make it through and be stronger in the end,” Durnie said.
Durnie said this is the most significant recognition he has ever received and said he is really proud to be recog-nized.
“There's only been about three Albertans ever recog-nized, and the last ones were in the late 70s or early 80s,” Durnie said. “It's nice to be able to put Alberta on the map for it.”
Durnie said he is humbled for being recognized for the award, but feels hugely honoured.
He also acknowledged the many public works leaders who work hard but don’t necessarily receive recognition for their work.
“These leaders don't get the luck of being nominated for the top 10 like I have,” Durnie said. “They are the ones that keep it happening every day whether it's in Sylvan Lake, Drumheller or Rocky Mountain House.”
Durnie said he has also done a lot of things to improve education, infrastructure, training and certification.
Since it's the public's money that is being spent and invested, being in a position of public works means he has to be at the top of his game.
“You have to be at the top of your game and make sure you do your job well,” Durnie said. “It's responsibility and integrity. It's making certain that we use the public's money for their benefit, whether that's for water, waste removal, safe roads or safe buildings. It's all about investing money wisely and making sure it's what the public wants.”

RED DEER WEST 4-H BEEF CLUB
We had a blast at the Beginner Steer Clinic on April 17 held at the Benalto Ag Centre, where a couple of senior members and Travis Depalme showed us the basics of showing our animals.
On April 18, we held our annual Mock Show and Judging Day at the Benalto Ag Centre, where we got to work with our calves, show them as if we were in an actual show and learn how to judge and how to clip our calves. Mock Show is great for junior members who have never shown before, but also for all the other members. It’s a great chance to get our calves out and about before the big day. At Mock Show we also got to do consumer judging, where we judged hay and toilet paper, then we had to judge cattle. We all learned a lot and had a great time!
This year’s annual Highway Cleanup was held on May 2. Our club cleaned Highway 11A from the traf-fic circle in Sylvan Lake to RR 280. We met at 8 a.m. and were finished cleaning by about 1:30 p.m. We would like to thank the Sylvan Lake Tim Hortons for supplying us with hot chocolate, coffee and Timbits once again. After we were done we had snacks and called it a day!

you to all of our buyers and sponsors from last year. We would greatly appreciate it if you come to our show and sale once again. It will be

COREY STAN AND DREW STANSHADOW RIDERS 4-H CLUB
Shadow Riders 4-H Club had a very busy end to winter and jumped right into spring!
The month of March was a busy one, with riding every Sunday, volunteering at Bethany Care Centre and doing a food drive at Sobeys March 21.
In April we started riding Sundays and Thursday eve-nings. The Level 4-7s had a western clinic and lunch April 3 and the Level 1-3s also had a western clinic and potluck on April 11. All levels had great days. The kids and parents also did a bottle drive in Eckville April 7 for a fundraiser. It was a huge success!
In May we started off the month with the honour of all the kids that volunteered at Bethany being nominated and attending the Leaders of Tomorrow celebration in Sylvan Lake. The club had a wiener roast on our first Sunday ride of the month. Some of the kids attended the Leslieville Trailtrotter Show at Rocky Rodeo Grounds May 9 and all did great and had fun. The weather was beautiful.
Our coming events are a whole club clinic May 15 and 16 in Benalto. The kids will be getting ready for our Shadow Riders Show on May 24 in Benalto and West Central Regional Show on May 29 to 31 in Red Deer.
After all this hard work and fun, the club is having its Achievement Day June 18 in Benalto with pizza, potluck and awards.
