A world-class lineup of jazz artists is teaming up with the Red Deer Symphony
Orchestra to put on an event like Sylvan Lake has never seen before.
The third and final installment in the 2015 Jazz at the Lake Concert Series will see the orchestra joined by the Dan
One-of-a-kind jazz concert to hit the lake next weekBrubeck Trio and Sylvan Lake’s own Eric Allison and Cheryl Fisher for a one-of-a-kind performance at Centennial Park on Aug. 15.
The event, according to Allison, will mark the pinnacle of a successful three-part series that has — temporarily, at least — replaced the long-running Jazz at the Lake Festival in Sylvan Lake.
“In the 15 years I’ve been here, I don’t know of any full orchestral performance on the lake or even in a venue in Sylvan Lake, particularly with world-class jazz art-ists combining with (the orchestra),” he said. “I think it’s going to be a highlight of the cultural events in Central Alberta this year.”
Allison, who plays saxophone, and his wife Fisher, a jazz vocalist, have both had leadership roles in the organizing of the town’s popular Jazz at the Lake Festival, which went on hiatus this year.
The partnership with the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra for this year’s event will create a temporary new look for the festival, but Allison is confident it will be
every bit as special.“To put a jazz trio and then a vocal solo-
ist and a horn soloist with the full orches-tra, it’s really exciting for us,” he said, add-ing the event will mark a long-anticipated return to Sylvan Lake for renowned jazz drummer Dan Brubeck.
“Dan Brubeck was our headliner with his quartet at the festival eight years ago, and he just tore it up. They got a standing ovation after the second or third tune of the concert — I had never seen anything like that before.”
Music from Brubeck’s latest album will be performed in orchestral arrangements, with the other musicians joining in.
A portion of Centennial Park will be fenced off for the occasion, which will take place rain or shine. Spectators are encour-aged to bring their own chairs or blankets.
Tickets cost $125, and may be pur-chased online at www.rdso.ca, or by calling 403-340-2948. Dinner and a drink are included.
Gates will open at 6:30 p.m., with the concert expected to wrap up by 10 p.m.

This young cliff swallow, which fell from its nest into a river, is just one of many animals that have benefitted from care at the Medicine River Wildlife Centre.
MEDICINE RIVER WILDLIFE CENTRE
JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The Medicine River Wildlife Centre’s hospital is on the brink of being shut down due to a lack of funding for a new facility.
With the concrete floor and septic system already in place, walls and utilities are still needed for the facility, costing around
$400,000, said executive director Carol Kelly.
The new facility will replace the old one in Red Deer County, and staff have raised $17,000 so far.
The hope is to get the building completed by winter, but if not, Kelly said there won’t be a place to take in wild animals needing care.
“We really need people’s
help to get this building up,” she said.
Edmonton and Calgary have wildlife care facilities, but Kelly said most people won’t take the time to transport wildlife to a proper facility; instead they will resort to caring for them in their own home illegally and inap-propriately.
“I honestly believe that
Medicine River Wildlife Centre hospital needs funding to avoid closurepeople get busy with their own lives.” she said. “The facility has always been there and always says yes when there’s a problem. I think people may forget that we may need their help.”
Kelly anticipates almost 2,000 patients will need treatment this year, for over 200 species — some-thing the old hospital was never designed to do.
The facility also hosts international students and local work experience stu-dents.
“We have all kinds of things that we are involved with throughout the com-munity, and if we’re not able to provide our core services, it will be a real disappointment and a real inconvenience for the peo-ple of this area,” Kelly said.
Even though staff are often thanked for doing their jobs, Kelly is unsure if people realize the centre’s need for funding — or their own ability to help.
“I just don’t think they are taking it seriously that we really need a new build-ing, because our current one is completely done,” she said.
The new facility will be much safer and greener, and will more efficiently provide environments suitable for wildlife reha-bilitation, she added.
“We will be a self-con-tained, very green unit; the cage facilities will be much improved and we even have a room designed for a little mini hot tub for a loon to recover in.”
Information on donat-ing to the new facility is available online at www.medicineriverwildlifecen-tre.ca.

If current polling trends hold, we are heading for a minority government in October, and the two front-runners might have to approach rivals to construct a stable government. Unaccustomed as they are to such a scenario and given that “coalition” is a four-letter word in Canada, they will have their work cut out for them.
The challenge flows from our First-Past-the-Post electoral system and the adversarial nature of our Westminster-style parliamentary system. As we shall see, they combine to produce a cli-mate in which co-operation and compromise are alien, making it difficult to adapt to a new reality.
The Conservative Party won a majority in 2011 with about 40 per cent of the vote. It is thus fair to say that most Canadians do not favour the Conservatives, but our electoral system does. Not surprisingly, both the Liberals and NDP support electoral reform, but are they capable of dealing with a shift to new political terrain? In the current system, the winner takes all and does not have to pay the slightest attention to sugges-tions or criticisms from opposition parties. A majority government has a clear field and does not need to compromise to get legislation passed. The prevailing culture is therefore resistant to co-operation, and we cannot wave a wand and change it.
Will Canadian political parties be able to adapt to the imperatives of proportional repre-sentation when and if it is introduced? The result of the October election may be a dry run if they have to combine forces to keep the Conservatives at bay. NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair, has expressed interest in a coalition with the Liberals, but Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has ruled out a “formal” coalition.
The term coalition government is carrying baggage left over from the 2008 campaign when the Liberals and New Democrats, along with the Bloc, proposed one. Reaction from the Conservatives was vitriolic with accusations that the other parties were committing treason for trying to topple a democratically-elected govern-ment.
But it is perfectly legal for the Governor General to turn to another party in the House should the governing party lose a vote of confi-dence. It is a testament to the power of messag-ing that the Conservatives were able to convince Canadians that what their rivals were proposing was tantamount to a coup d’état.
Ever since, party leaders, when asked if they will form a coalition, deny that they will. Yet, if there is a hung parliament, a party must enter into some type of arrangement with another party, even if voters feel betrayed.
Our adversarial, Westminster-style parlia-mentary system further exacerbates the situa-
tion. As Question Period demonstrates, MPs are encouraged to go for the jugular in their attempts to best their opponents. There is no incentive to engage in a productive debate; on the contrary, there are perverse incentives to ridicule ideas and suggestions from across the aisle.
Against such a backdrop, it is difficult to imagine how parties and leaders with such pre-dispositions will come together to govern the country.
The disappointing aspect of this state of affairs is that, in the process of jousting (some of which is just theatre), the parties forget that they were elected to represent the interests of the elec-torate. It often seems the public interest is being sacrificed on the altar of personal ambition and partisan interest. If parties lose sight of the fact that power, though heady, is something to be exercised for the greater good, they are doing us a disservice.
There is growing cynicism about politics and politicians among Canadian voters. If party lead-ers behave badly after the October election, it will further disillusion Canadians and turn them off. There might be short-term gain for political parties but damage to the body politic will be long-lasting.

October election could be a dry run for proportional representation
Dear Editor,
We all know the crip-pling effects of debt, which is why we try our best to prudently manage our finances in both our per-sonal and professional lives.
In Europe, the banks recently shut down, pen-sioners and public servants were locked out of their contracts and the Eurozone almost collapsed, after Greece refused to tackle its massive debt problem.
Here in Canada, Ontario was just declared to be the most indebted sub-sover-eign borrower in the entire world after years of scandal and mismanagement. The province is now more reli-ant than ever on western equalization dollars.
Could Alberta go this same way? The answer is yes — at least according to Moody’s Investors Service.
The international credit
rating agency just placed Alberta on watch for a cred-it downgrade after the NDP government authorized $6 billion in new debt behind closed doors with no plan to pay it back and without the support of the legisla-ture.
Another $6 billion would increase Alberta’s total debt by 50 per cent, and keep us on the pace set by the PC government to be over $30 billion in debt by 2019, with annual interest payments alone set to top $1 billion per year.
Moody’s already down-graded both Ontario and Manitoba’s credit rating this year. Now, the Alberta gov-ernment has us on a colli-sion course for a credit downgrade unless mean-ingful action is taken, but it has no strategy to stave off financial disaster.
There’s no clear fiscal picture on what all this new
borrowing is for. There has been no clear communica-tion from NDP Finance Minister Joe Ceci on our fiscal situation, inside the legislature or out of it.
The fact remains, how-ever, that exploding debt financing costs will contin-ue to soak up revenues and resources away from core government services like health care and education, and Albertans will continue to be asked to pay more and more to fund the Alberta government — the most expensive per capita gov-ernment in Canada.
The NDP government is quite literally financing our future and risking the pros-perity of future generations.
After years of unrelent-ing PC and NDP govern-ment borrowing, deficit budgets and debt financing, Alberta is on the verge of being the next Ontario — one of the world’s worst
Government debt risking Alberta’s futureexamples of financial mis-management and incompe-tence.
A generation of hard work and sacrifice won us the proud title of being debt free, and other provinces
looked at us with envy while their citizens came to take part in the Alberta Advantage.

Dear Editor,I have been to the ONE and only public tennis court
in a town of 13,000 people in Sylvan Lake (and it only has one court playing surface). Obviously home devel-opers don't have to put baseball diamonds and tennis courts in every community anymore!
My BIGGEST issue is the condoms placed all over the tennis nets each time we've gone, two times in last three days. We’ve had to remove them as we are a family of six and this is disgusting! How do I even explain this to them?

Sylvan Lake RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying the three suspects involved in an alleged armed robbery in Bentley last week.
At just after 7:30 p.m. last Friday (July 31), three unidentified males met with a 41-year-old man
outside Piccolo Pizza in Bentley.
Police say the meeting was the result of the sus-pects apparently wanting to buy a Lincoln Navigator SUV.
One of the suspects allegedly revealed a hand-gun and pointed it at the
vehicle’s owner. The three suspects are said to have then fled from the area in a pickup truck.
Police describe the three suspects as Caucasian males between around five feet ten inches and six feet tall, each with a medium build. They

The truck in which they allegedly fled is described as a Chevrolet pickup

Anyone with informa-tion is asked to contact the Sylvan Lake RCMP

Efforts to keep invasive species out of Sylvan Lake continued with a successful boat inspection at the Sunbreaker Cove boat launch over the weekend.
Inspectors and a search dog pored over 170 boats and found no aquatic inva-sive species, said Cindy Sawchuk, the search’s oper-ations lead and dog han-dler.
Such mandatory inspec-tions are part of the Alberta Environment and Parks Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program — in place to help eliminate the risk of invasive species such as zebra and quagga mus-sels being transported into Alberta waters.
“Every time a boater leaves a waterbody, if they clean and dry the drains on their boat, they are doing a great job of eliminating the risk of transporting the
species,” said Sawchuk. “We talk to boaters about the issue of aquatic invasive species, specifically inva-sive mussels, that can attach to boats and be transported from waterbody to water-body.”
Around 11,000 boats have been inspected throughout the province since the May long week-end, with 10 of those inspected found to have been carrying invasive mussels. The affected boats were subsequently cleaned thoroughly before being allowed to enter the water.
So far, the program has proven effective, and
resulted in a heightened awareness of the invasive species threat, said Sawchuk.
“We’ve noticed a huge increase in the amount of awareness that people have through TV and media,” she said. “We’ve spoken to 11,000 boaters this year already, and I would say people are (becoming) aware of the issue more and more.”
The majority of boat owners have been fully co-operative with the pro-gram, she added, and haven’t minded spending the extra time ensuring they’re not putting Alberta waters in danger.
“They appreciate how we are being proactive to keep invasive species out of the province, because once we get them, we are in reac-tion mode, and that would be a different story.”

Sylvan Lake RCMP believe alcohol may have played a factor in a quad crash in Bentley that hospitalized a male last Thursday night.
RCMP were called to the incident at around 7:20 p.m., after a male was report-edly injured when his quad rolled. Witnesses advised police that the male,
who was the unit’s lone occupant, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
He was subsequently taken to hospital in Red Deer, where he was treated for
unspecified injuries.RCMP say they believe alcohol was a
factor in the incident, which at press time was still under investigation.

I love summertime. I love spending more time out in nature, sitting on cool green grass. I love that the days are long and the evenings are warm. I love sitting on the porch in the evening with a gentle refreshing breeze. But one of my favorite things about summer is our annual vacation. Most summers my family and I go back up north to my family’s lot on a lake and camp for a while. I love it because not only do I get to experience all the things I mentioned above, but because I grew up there. Growing up it was the central place that my extended family would gather every summer. My cousins and I had our run of the place and for weeks every summer we just got to explore the woods and be kids. Going back there is going home for me. It brings back the fl ood of memories and moments from my childhood, and reminds me of who I am. It reminds me of my family, my heritage.
As you go about your summer, remember your heritage. Remember where you come from. Whether your physical heritage brings back fond memories, or if it brings back pain and hurt, know that in Christ we have a new heritage. In Jesus we are children of God. Romans 8 says:
God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confi rms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance!
Remember that in Jesus, you are a child of God, and regardless of who you were, are or have yet to become, you may freely partake in all the good things that He has for you. You simply must accept the gift of life that Jesus brings. Remember who you are. Remember who you are in Christ.

Pop culture seems to have had an influence on Alberta parents last year,
with some of them having named their children after popular television and
movie characters.A report on the top baby
names of 2014 released by
the province last week showed Liam and Olivia as the top baby names for
Province’s top baby names of 2014 releasedAlberta boys and girls, respectively.
Other less-traditional names such as Tyrion, Aragon and Olivander were all recorded as names for newborn boys in 2014 — the province suspects after characters in the Game of Thrones, the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, respectively.
Similarly, girls were named Primm, Sookie, Cosette, Wednesday and Khaleesi — unique names that have all featured in television or film.
Thunderboy, Goodness, Huckleberry and Innocent were among some of the other less conventional names for boys; Valkyrie, Meadow, Melon, Disney and Bandit for girls.
Overall, 55,587 babies were born in Alberta last year — 28,440 boys and 27,147 girls. The numbers are in line with what the province calls a “five-year baby boom.”
“Alberta is a vibrant and thriving province with a growing number of young
families and an exception-ally bright future,” said Deron Bilous, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Service Alberta. “Our gov-ernment is working every day to ensure that all par-ents are able to share the benefits of a prosperous future with their children.”
Around 6,100 distinct names were recorded for boys in 2014. Girls had slightly more at around 7,400.
Olivia remained the top girls name for the second year running, while Liam has now held the number-one spot for boys for the last three years.
Top names for boys in Alberta (2014): 1. Liam; 2. Ethan; 3. Benjamin; 4. William; 5. Logan; 6. Noah; 7. Jacob; 8. Oliver; 9. Lucas; 10. Carter.

The Sylvan Lake community has shown its approval of a recent Telus fundraiser being held in support of Sylvan Lake and Area Community Partners — or so numbers would suggest, at least.
A Telus Facebook post pledging $5 to Community Partners for every ‘like’ received had tallied more than 1,100 clicks of approval by press time, meaning the local organization will exceed its $5,000 fundraising goal.
“There are so many places in Alberta that could have been chosen, but they chose Sylvan Lake and they chose Community Partners, so it was awesome,” said Alanna Dextrase, Community Partners administrative and events co-ordinator. “It’s an honour to be chosen.”
The organization’s many programs, services and events — such as Coats for Kids, an annual Christmas dinner and family education and support — helped around 7,000 people last year. But while those programs are offered to the community free of charge, they cost money to run and put on.
For that reason, fundraising is particularly important
Community Partners to receive thousands through online fundraiserto the organization — a sentiment that Telus fully under-stands, according to communications manager Liz Sauvé.
Fundraisers such as the ‘1 Little Like, 1 Big Difference’ Facebook post, she said, are simply a way of giving back.
“It’s our way to say thank you to the community, because we wouldn’t be the company we are without our customers,” she said. “The people of Sylvan Lake have been very good to us over the years.”
Telus representatives are scheduled to be present in town throughout the week until Sunday (Aug. 9) holding further events and activities in support of the commu-nity.
‘Likes’ on the Facebook post will be tallied toward donations until Friday (Aug. 7).
The post can be viewed on the Sylvan Lake News Facebook page as well as those of others from through-out the community. ‘Likes’ must be submitted on the original Telus post.

Cars have always been more than simply a hobby for Brian Adcock.
Th e Sylvan Lake man, who owns Fountain Tire in Beju Industrial Park, admits the in-tense obsession he had as young man over time turned into a lifelong passion, and as far back as he can remember, “there’s always been something in the garage.”
Currently, its a 1969 Dodge Charger that he’s got parked inside — although it’s much more suited to being outside, he concedes.
“Th ere’s not a show-and-shine I go to where I’m not the only one there,” he says. “I defi nitely get the people wanting to stop and take a closer look.”
Th e reason, he says, is the coveted car’s rel-ative scarcity not just locally, but nationwide.
“Th e ’69 Charger is one of the hardest ones to fi nd right now. If you tried to fi nd one Canadawide through all the search en-gines — which I do — I think you might fi nd fi ve for sale.”
Many, he says, were known to have been destroyed in the fi lming of the Dukes of Haz-zard TV series in the ’70s and ’80s, while oth-ers simply succumbed to “the world of rust
and rot.”Adcock purchased his own Charger about
10 years ago following a period of intense searching online. He eventually came across exactly what he was looking for, and before long was on his way to Calgary with an extra driver in tow to pick it up.
It’s the latest in a long list of classic cars he’s had in his possession over the years, which have included Camaros, Mustangs, Pontiacs and Mopars.
He assures the Charger, however, is spe-cial. And he’s got no plans to get rid of it any time soon.
“Th is one’s staying,” he says. “I won’t be shopping for anything new any time soon.”

Bentley is a hundred years young this year and the town wants to celebrate in a big way.
Spokesperson Derek Dickau encourages everyone to come on down and take part in all of the festivities.
“There will be lots of activities,” he said. “It will be a good time, for sure.”
The town’s centennial birthday activities will run in conjunction with the Bentley and District Ag Society’s 49th Town and Country Fair to be held Aug. 6 to 9.
Events will kick off Thursday (Aug. 6) with a pancake breakfast, followed by a children’s carnival. The parade is happening at 1 p.m., and Dickau said this year the popu-lar event will feature a “brand new Bentley” being brought in from Calgary.
A seniors pie social, face painting, bench show and kids ‘wool bustin’ will round out the afternoon.
On Friday, events will again begin with a pancake breakfast followed by a bench show at 10 a.m., and a bench show presentation at 12:30 p.m. The museum opens at 1 p.m. and the Kids Fun Zone runs all after-noon. It will be followed by a family dance.
The rodeo begins at 6 p.m., and a drive-in movie, Big Hero 6, will be shown at 10 a.m.
Saturday’s events include a pancake breakfast, horse-shoe tournament, Kroozin’ West Show and Shine, Kids Fun Zone, Baazart Show and Sale, beer and wine tasting and Bentley Fire Department barbecue.
Activities will conclude on Sunday with a horseshoe tournament and church service.

In 1985 and 1986, Sport Chek leased land from Dubeta Architects Ltd., and set up Sailboard City on the present site of Chateau Suites. Sport Chek supplied the equipment and the CYA Board Sailing Instructors gave dry-land
lessons first and then instruction in the water.
There were often live broadcasts by radio stations from both Calgary and Edmonton from the Sailboard City site on the beach, advertising
sailboard lessons, slalom ski sales and rentals, water toys and all the necessary lotions, etc., for a day at the beach. As an added incentive to drop by — hot dogs and pop!
In 1985, a group of people interested in sailing gathered around a kitchen table on a winter night, and by the end of the evening had formed the Sylvan Lake Regional Sailing Club. Some of the charter members were Steven and Rita Johnson, Bob and Sue Samson and Al Fisher.
Today the club includes sailing enthusiasts from Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer and Sylvan
Lake, and
offers Wednesday evening racing, the end of season Summer Hummer, and, of course, lots of socializing!
In the 1980s, a Sylvan Lake Regatta trophy from 1935-36, with the name R. White on it, was unearthed in a CIBC vault. It was offered to the Sailing Club, which gladly accepted it for a racing trophy. According to ‘reliable sources,’ Sylvan Lake is a good lake to sail on and is unique in Alberta in that it o f f e r s k e e l b o a t sailing — a keelboat is a vessel more than 20 feet long and used for racing and cruising.

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS
The Chinook Triathlon Festival made its mark in Sylvan Lake on Saturday with around 225 athletes having competed in its vari-ous events.
This year marked the first time the race has been held in Sylvan Lake, and although relocating it from Calgary came with some challenges, it proved suc-cessful in the end, accord-ing to race director Jordan Bryden.
“We’ve done our race in Calgary for 10 years, and (this year) we knew we would lose numbers, but we didn’t lose too many, and we were able to build a really successful event with that many people,” he said. “It was a great day.”
The goal for future years, he said, is to grow the race to include 1,000 partici-pants competing for a $50,000 prize purse. He sees no reason why it can’t become a regular go-to event for some of the coun-try’s top triathletes.
“We want it to be what we call the Wildflower of the North, and the Wildflower race is a very well developed race in California.”
With Sylvan Lake being halfway between Calgary and Edmonton — cities from which many of the race’s athletes hail — the town provides an ideal spot for such an event, he added.

“Sylvan Lake is perfect, and is probably one of the best lake communities in the province,” he said. “It’s open, it’s wide, but it’s also halfway between Calgary and Edmonton, so going
forward we want to be able to prosper from both those cities.”
Saturday’s winners, as per the Chinook Triathlon Festival’s website, are as follows: Half Iron Women - Julie Anderson; Half Iron Men - Peter Kornelsen;
Pro - Heather Wurtele (Women); Olympic Men - Francois Coetzer; Olympic Women - Margie Richie; Team - Phillip Baird; Aquabike Men - Kevin Mertz; Aquabike Women - Rita McNulty.

The Canadian summer provides us with the perfect setting to create lasting memories. The gorgeous weather and beautiful scen-ery have most Canadians determined to spend as much time outdoors as pos-sible. One activity that many Canadians will par-take in this summer is boat-ing. While boating is a great summer activity, it is impor-tant to keep in mind the safety protocol. Boating accidents occur regularly in Canada and cause around 100 deaths annually.
Always wear your lifejacket or PFD while on
or near the water.It could save your life.Canada’s waters are cold
year-round, so be prepared. Simply falling into cold water can cause cold water shock, which makes it diffi-cult to catch your breath. If a person is not wearing a lifejacket, they have to fight to both control their breath-ing and keep their head above water. Many people drown just inches away from their boat or the shore.
Today’s lifejackets and
personal flotation devices are stylish, comfortable and designed for specific activi-ties such as paddling, fish-ing, high-impact sports and cruising. So, choose it and use it.
Be prepared.Anything can happen on
the water, so use this check-list to stay safe:
• Check all safety equip-ment before leaving the dock. If it's not in good working condition, replace or fix it before you go.
• Check the most recent weather forecast.
• Give someone you trust a trip plan that includes where you are going and when you'll be back.
• Bring local marine charts and ask local boaters about hazards, if you don’t know the area.
Take a boatingsafety course
Understanding your responsibilities on the water and how to take basic safety precautions reduces your risk of a boating incident.
Anyone in Canada who operates a recreational boat
with a motor must have proof of competency (except in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories waters). The Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) is the most common. You can get one by passing an accredited test with a Transport Canada approved course provider. It's also good to carry:
• Proof you passed a boating safety course in Canada before April 1, 1999.
• A specified marine cer-tificate.
• A completed rental-boat safety checklist.
Visitors to Canada oper-ating a motorized boat must carry an operator card or equivalent that meets the requirements of their own state or country.
Have fun, but remember: a little preparation today can prevent a boating emer-gency tomorrow.
To stay informed visit the Transport Canada Office of Boating Safety website at www.tc.gc.ca/boatingsafety.
