Mental Health Week kicks off in local

schoolsAll across town this week, each school held their own

set of Mental Health Week initiatives.Students of Our Lady of the Rosary School were treated

to a yoga class Wednesday morning from Blyss Hot Yoga.Kim Small, yoga instructor with Blyss, said the mental

health benefi ts in children when doing yoga is limitless.“You can see after a while how much greater of an at-

tention span they have, you can see them focusing more and they just really seem to love it,” said Small, adding it’s also a great way to maintain physical health.

Throughout a number of school’s teachers talked with their students about the importance of mental health. The importance of maintaining and building positive mental health was taught to the students. Other areas such as the stigma associated with mental health issues were also discussed between some students and staff.

Fox Run School family wellness worker, Megan Helmer, explained they spoke with their students on how main-taining positive mental health will help them to achieve success.

“If you have the skills to cope with stress and pressure

when you are younger, it be easier to implement these coping skills as you grow older,” said Helmer. “We just really want them to start thinking about that idea of building and maintaining positive mental health.”

As a family wellness worker, Helmer sees the effects mental health has on young people fi rst hand.

“A big part of the promotion of mental health is re-ducing the stigma and we see that stigma pop up every-where,” she explained. “We don’t want to see that stigma continue through generations. We want young people to understand the importance of mental health and under-stand they are able to reach out and get the support they need, free from judgment.”

“We want them to be able to independently maintain their mental health throughout the rest of their lives and the best way to do that is to teach them coping skills at a young age.”

Other events throughout the week included coping skills bingo at Fox Run School and Hats Off For Mental Health in a number of schools where students were al-lowed to wear their hats in class for the day in support of mental health.

Whether it is recreation, drama, sport, dance, civic en-gagement, art, volunteerism or leadership young people are involved in meaningful activities throughout every community across Canada.

National Youth Week is but one of the initiatives being taken to honour the work young people are doing in their communities.

On a local level, the team at Flipside Youth Centre have put together a fantastic fun fi lled week honouring the youth of Sylvan Lake.

The week kicked off with a partnership between local youth and Taco Time. The youth held a car wash nearby and in addition part of the restaurants proceeds went back to the youth.

Up next were the Youth Friendly Business Awards on Monday evening where three local businesses including The Big Moo, Booster Juice and Canadian Tire were all honoured for their commitments to employing local youth.

The Big Moo received the ‘Most Youth Friendly Employer Award’, with the ‘Most Youth Friendly Business Award’ going to Booster Juice. Canadian Tire received the ‘Community

Philanthropy Award’.Tuesday evening saw ‘Future Chefs’ shining in the kitch-

ens of H.J. Cody, where two teams of hopefuls competed to be named Sylvan Lake’s next top young chefs. Ingredients for the students to use were donated by Sobey’s who was also recognized as a nominee in the youth friendly business awards.

First place in the Master Chef competition went to Ethan Galliford, second place went to Kara Gustum, third place went to Tatyanna Stoesz and fourth place was awarded to Janica Shafers.

See next week’s edition of Sylvan Lake News for coverage on the upcoming Youth Appreciation Dinner which took place Wednesday evening, along with the Flipside Twilight Carnival taking place Thursday May 5.

Friday will see the week come to a close with the Young Leaders of Tomorrow Awards.

Urgent Care Committee concerned with impending on-call service end date

The world will not suddenly end on June 1 when doctors in Sylvan Lake stop offering an after hours service.

Instead, it will be a slow trickle down affect. One by one, the cit-izens of Sylvan Lake will start to notice the true impact not having access to after hour medical care can have on a community.

Without after hour services, se-niors will see themselves heading to Red Deer in the dead of night after having a non life-threaten-ing episode. Although the senior will surely live, their incident still requires medical attention, in-stead of it being treated within minutes of their home; it’s off to the city they go, a half hour both ways and a minimum two hour wait time.

Young children and students will see themselves missing school the next day, too tired to attend class after a long night in Red Deer Regional Hospital’s

emergency room.Already the com-

munity is strained. Local doctors have been managing the near impos-sible for many years. Running after hours on call services out of closed clinics. Long days and even longer nights for the brave medical professionals of the area, although admirable were forced to end in the interest of both pa-tient and doctor safety.

Now the community waits pa-tiently once more, just as they’ve done for the last 25 years follow-ing multiple promises of fund-ing from the past government. Currently Sylvan Lake’s patience sits upon a date being set to meet with Deputy Health Minister, Karl Amrheim.

This meeting holds the poten-tial to give adequate access to health care for not only the res-

idents of Sylvan Lake and area, but also the nearly one million visitors the town sees annual-ly.

In the forefront of the local Urgent

Care Committee’s minds is set-ting a date with Mr. Amhreim to determine the fate of urgent care in Sylvan Lake. However, con-cerns are arising.

‘It’s really easy for people, when they are on the hot seat, to say they are going to come back to Sylvan Lake,” said Susan Samson, chair of the Sylvan Lake and area Urgent Care Committee. “Now we are hearing that we are going to have a meeting ‘sometime’ this summer.”

Samson stated she feels it is nearing the point of being past a conversational matter.

“It’s either are they’re going to fund urgent care in Sylvan Lake

or not?” she stated. “If you’re not going to fund it, explain to us what we are supposed to do and what model they would see work.”

“When we did our business plan in the summer of 2014, we talked to FCSS, Community Partners, the RCMP – you name it, we talk-ed to them. We’ve talked; we’ve had these conversations. We’ve already done all that. There’s nothing left to talk about.”

Alas, Laker’s are not prepared to sit by idly while bureaucrats make a decision that will never impact them personally, but rath-er the lives many thousand fam-ilies and multiple communities. Instead, a more active route is being mapped.

Plans are set for a rally to be held in support of urgent care in Sylvan Lake on May 25 at 7 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre.

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

For many rural people the name Paul Harvey brings back memories of a story-teller like no other. His famous tag line of “and now the rest of the story” is still recog-nizable to millions of people throughout North America. Mr. Harvey, who captivated millions of listeners for near-ly six decades with his homespun radio news reports and conservative commentaries, passed away in 2009 at the age of 90 but his words will live on forever. It’s clear

that the inspiration for Paul Harvey’s timeless commentary came from being raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the heart of the American agriculture.

In what is considered his most inspirational address, he reminded us of the enormous com-mitment farmers make to our society. In 1978, Paul Harvey recorded his “So God made a farmer”1 address, which was about the sacrifi ce, hard work and compassion it takes to be part of agriculture. He opens the commen-

tary by saying “And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, “I need a caretaker. So God made a farmer.”

As you drive through rural Alberta at this time of year you can’t help but notice how the fi elds that line the highways come to life with the activity of the caretakers who grow the food we eat. This ac-tivity is not only import-ant to our food supply, it is also very important to the economic and social well-being of Alberta.

As Alberta’s largest and most dynamic renewable resource, agriculture has become even more im-portant as demand for our food products in-creases. Alberta farmers have the expertise to supply a range of safe, high-quality food prod-ucts into domestic and world markets at com-petitive prices. Those markets are expanding as the world population increases and as more countries develop the ability to improve their standard of living, which

So God made a farmer

BY DON MACINTREMLA, INNISFAIL - SYLVAN LAKE

includes safe and reliable food products.

In order to have a competitive agricultural sector it must be built around the actions of in-dividual producers left free to decide what they produce and where and when they want to sell it, free of arbitrary social licensing. Government’s role should be to pro-vide a positive business environment, to remove artifi cial barriers, and to administer proper regu-lations in a fair and equi-table manner.

The role agriculture plays, even in a modern society, is as much about culture as it is about pro-ducing the food on our tables. It’s about the rural values that have been carried on for genera-tions throughout farm-ing communities around the world. But mostly, it’s about an honourable and necessary profession that people commit their lives to; that’s what Paul Harvey saw in the many farmers that were such an essential part of the community he grew up in.

As Alberta farmers tend to the laundry list of du-ties and responsibilities that we rely on for our health and well being in Alberta, we need to be grateful that God made a farmer. And that’s the rest of the story!

The following article was co-compiled by a small group of Offi cial Opposition MLAs who each week, get together to talk through a legislative policy issue. As part of the process, a short commentary is compiled and then edited. The edi-torial committee members include GRANT HUNTER, Cardston-Taber-Warner; RICK STRANKMAN, Drumheller-Stettler; DAVE SCHNEIDER, Little Bow; WES TAYLOR, Battle River-Wainwright; RON ORR, Lacombe-Ponoka; MARK SMITH, Devon-Drayton Valley; DAVE HANSON, Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills; DON MacINTYRE, Innisfail-Sylvan Lake; and DREW BARNES, Cypress Medicine Hat.

All the students at École Mother Teresa School were treated to an afternoon of listening to a variety of presenters during their career day on Friday.

Students in all grades visited different classrooms where people of various occu-pations explained what they did in their career.

The career fair is run every two years and was an afternoon the students did not want to miss out on.

The fair has being going on for many years now and is run by a career fair committee who organizes who will speak at the event.

There were a multitude of local indi-viduals that spoke in depth on what they did in their career, allowing the students to learn that great success comes from working very hard.

The presenters included an acupunc-turist, fi rst responder, massage therapist, electrician, dentist and hygienist, medical

students, optometrist, lawyer, radio an-nouncer, a Town councillor, environmen-tal offi cer, fl ight instructor, fi tness facility owner and an engineer.

All the presenters were very passionate about sharing what they did in their ca-reers and students found their stories to be interesting.

The presenters gave students a little taste of what careers could offer them.

This is what the career fair committee aims to accomplish in the fair.

“As a committee and as a team we try to bring in a variety of careers,” said one of the career fair committee members Trevor Reinhart. “What is really awesome is the passion. When the presenters come in they are pretty passionate about what they (do). It wows the students.”

It was obvious the students were really enjoying the afternoon of learning about the different careers they could go into.

In each classroom the student were very respectful listening to every word the presenters said and were eager to ask questions afterwards.

Listening to someone talk about their career also provides another avenue of learning for the students. The students didn’t have to simply read a job descrip-tion off the internet, they had a real life person talking directly to them.

“It’s a different person and a different voice,” Reinhart said. “If you put your heart into it you are going to do what you want to do.”

The presenters also put their heart and soul into explaining what they do.

“It’s a lot of work, when the presenters come,” Reinhart said. “That’s what makes the students’ day.”

When the afternoon was fi nished Reinhart and the other teachers at the school ensured all the presenters were thanked for taking the time to be at the school.

It was a thank you from the bottom of the career fair committee’s heart and all the school’s staff and students.

The grand return of swing to Sylvan Lake

There once was a time when swing was king in Sylvan Lake.

In the early 1930’s Sylvan Lake’s Varsity Dance Hall had just been built. An era of big band swing music was soon to begin, leading to much of the eventual success Varsity would see.

Over the years the dance hall would become a hub for music lovers from across Alberta, hosting a number of big name re-cording artists in addition to helping a few budding local artists to bloom for themselves, including two time Juno award win-ning saxophone player, P.J. Perry.

Built around 1930 and demolished n 1979, the popular Varsity Hall led to a deeply seeded tradition of swing in Sylvan Lake.

Jazz At The Lake organiz-ers Cheryl Fisher and Eric Allison are thrilled to have Summers in town to help swing a spring night away.

Allison said swing’s strong presence in Sylvan’s history makes the upcoming show that much sweeter.

“The most famous era for Varsity Hall really was the late 30s, early 1940’s. They had swing dance here even through the 50s,” said Allison. “P.J. Perry grew up watching the guys there. His uncle Jim Galone

and his father Paul Perry together had a band at the Varsity Hall, so P.J. really cut his teeth on that.”

“This is the reason Cheryl and I decided 15 years ago to see our idea through

was because Sylvan Lake had such a rich musical history.”

The grand return of swing to Sylvan Lake is set to take place at the end of May with the second

installment of Jazz At The Lake’s seasonal concert series.

Swing Into Spring, set for Saturday, May 21 at 8:00 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre, will feature Johnny Summers, a multi-talented musi-cian, composer and ar-ranger described as hav-ing boundless ability and stage appeal.

Allison added that with influences like Stevie

Wonder, John Mayer, Louis Armstrong & Frank Sinatra, it comes as no surprise that he has some-thing to offer everyone.

“He is a very talented young man, he’s a good singer a good player, an excellent arranger and a good composer - you really could call him a quadruple threat,” said Allison.

Tickets for the Swing Into Spring concert are available online via

www.jazzatthelake.com for $25 as well as available on the evening of the per-formance pending ticket available.

Organizers recommend getting tickets online within the coming weeks to ensure your entrance.

Rev. Chris Roth

“In Full Communionwith the ELCIC.” www.sylvanlakeanglican.ca

My mother in law used to read the end of a mystery novel to fi gure out if the book was worth reading.  The book of Revelation ends the Bible, and it’s a good ending. Revelation ends with a new heaven and the new earth. It is the ultimate healing of God’s creation. Revelation tells us about a future where we live in harmony with our environment, in community with others, and in the intimate presence of God for all eternity. With the early Christians, we are invited to see this as our future- A future that cannot be taken away from us. In the midst of persecution and danger it gave our ancestors the courage to live in the present and do what is right. It can have the same power for us. The Eastern Orthodox theologian John Zizioulas says that the Christian community “has its roots in the future and its branches in the present”.

If we will be living eternally with other people, what will have to change in our character to make that a joyful reality?  Similarly, we also read that God will be incredibly present to His people. How do we live now preparing for a joyful future of persistent and ever deepening intimacy with God? For example, it will be important to learn to be forgiving, loving, and prayerful people if that is the future we are heading for.   

The Holy Spirit will help us with this transformation as we gaze at Christ, contemplating the work he has done for us and the example he gave us.  But, the Holy Spirit will not force us into transformation. May we live now as people preparing for a joyful eternity with others and with God. AMEN.

Firefi ghter Stairclimb provedchallenging but rewarding

Signing up for the Firefi ghter Stairclimb challenge a few months ago brought responses such as ‘wow you are crazy’ and ‘you have guts’ from friends.

The truth is you have to have a lot of courage but more importantly the faith in yourself that you can climb 1,204 stairs in full gear.

The climb took place last Sunday at the BOW Building in downtown Calgary.

There were four of us from the Eckville Fire Department to participate in this challenge. This included Jordan Ramsay, Logan Dyrland, John Philips and myself.

It was obvious that the challenge wouldn’t be easy and it most certainly wasn’t.

Working to prepare my body physically included much time on the elliptical machine, treadmill and doing hot yoga. But truth be told, it is hard to prepare for something when you’re not quite sure what to expect.

All you know is that it is going to be hard. Sometimes you can’t completely prepare for a challenge like this which calls for having to fi gure out what to do in the moment.

In compete gear and waiting for the signal to start climbing excitement fi lled my mind and ran in my blood.

Climbing at 9:45 a.m. the stairwell had not become a complete hot zone yet, thank God!

Climbing up the fi rst few stairs didn’t seem too bad. However once climbing up to fl oor seven, the challenge proved to be very real.

My heart seemed to be going far faster than my legs were. ‘Uh oh’, time to take a break.

But it was only the seventh fl oor? Had my hours spent preparing for this challenge been all for nothing?

Even with having to stop for a break at fl oor seven, dis-couragement did not fi ll my mind. The truth of ‘you can do this’ fi lled my mind.

Climbing more stars the number 20 was in site.By fl oor 25 my fi ngers raced to open up my jacket and

undo the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus strap around my waist. My lungs fi lled with air making me realize that a lot of what was making it harder was that my lungs weren’t fi lling up completely with air.

Waving my jacket to cool my body off felt great and gave me the confi dence to continue. After all I was doing it.

Walking up a few fl ights of stairs and stopping to breath, drink water and take a short break other fi refi ghters passed me. Their faces were full of sweat too. We offered each other encouraging words of ‘you got this’ or ‘your doing great’ along with a fi st bump.

Whether you were a rookie fi refi ghter like myself or an experienced one, we all were in this together and we were all dealing with the same challenge. Climbing the stairs wasn’t easy for anyone.

Reaching fl oor 40 my face was drenched with sweat. Time to take another break. There was no shame in taking breaks. Upon reaching this fl oor a guy with a video camera seemed to come out of nowhere and tried to follow me. Not wanting to be bothered my hand went up and my head turn the opposite way to say ‘no, leave me alone’.

Reaching fl oor 45 made me realize I was nearly at the top. At this point the numbers just seemed to melt away.

“Wasn’t I just at fl oor 10 a minute a go?”Making my legs do their job I climbed to fl oor 50.Only 5 more fl oors to go.Still out of breath and trying to maintain a healthy heart

rate my legs raced up the last few levels.The number 55 on the wall had never looked so rewarding.Greeted by cheering volunteers I threw my arms up in

victory. I was at the top.My husband and his parents greeted me back at the

bottom and captured the moment with their phones. Not seeing my father in law to the right I asked my mother in law to video tape a message for him.

“It doesn’t matter that I am a girl, I can do this.”It was humorous to realized my father in law was stand-

ing to the right. The family caught me on camera telling him how men and women are equal and that fi refi ghting is not just a man’s job.

Success fi lled my mind. My body was physically tired, by my brain was wired with energy.

Finding my group again outside we all posed for a pic-ture for a job well done. We had all survived the climb and made it to the top.

Making it to the top all meant something for each of us. For myself it meant proving that no matter what anyone says never give up on your goals.

Open house to be held at local career high schoolIn a world where technology is rapidly advancing, students

have more options available to them than ever before. This shift has lead to a change in how young people view their education, often times fi nding themselves in search of fl exible options to suit their lifestyle.

On a local level, the Sylvan Lake Career High School has witnessed their numbers steadily increasing over the past fi ve years. In March of 1995, the Sylvan Lake Career High School was opened to serve the needs of students who, for various reasons, felt that they could not meet with success in a traditional high school.

Recently, the School underwent renovations, nearly doubling their capacity to allow more room for students to pursue their learning in.

Students at the Sylvan Lake Career High School have the ability to decide their own schedule to accommodate their lives. They may visit their instructors as much or as little as they wish to, allowing the ability to breeze through courses they are strong in and get the extra help they need in other classes where they struggle.

Career High students come from a variety of backgrounds explained principal of the Sylvan Lake Career High School, Daryl Brown - ranging from full time tradespeople and semi professional athletes to adults upgrading one or two classes.

“The majority of young people here are taking academic routes – we have strong university and college applicants,” said Brown, adding they have around 100 full time students. “In past generations outreach and a fl exible learning envi-ronment were seen as a very alternative option but that connotation is changing.”

Many of their part time students actively blend their learn-ing experience between the Sylvan Lake Career High School and H.J. Cody High School. For young parents, the fl exible environment can mean the difference between receiving a high school diploma and not.

“We have 58 students right now blending between H.J. Cody High School and ourselves,” said Brown. “There are a

BY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

number of students who wouldn’t graduate if it weren’t for being able to take a class or two with us. It is amazing to see the look they get when they are able to graduate alongside their friends because of that one class.”

As part of the Chinook’s Edge School Division, curriculum at the school in core classes is exactly the same as it would be through any other high school in the division. Students also write the same diploma exams.

Adult education options are also available at the School, with upgrading courses being nearly half the cost as it would be when taking the class at a post secondary institute.

Adult students are those who have turned 20 years old prior to September 1 of the school year. As such, Alberta

Learning no longer funds their education. The current adult rate through the Sylvan Lake Career High School is $110 per credit plus the $104.00 registration fee. Career High also offers the GED program.

Currently the Sylvan Lake Career High School is set to host an open house where individuals interested in learning more about the educational options available through their resources. The open house will be held Tuesday, May 10 from 1-4 p.m.

The school is located in the Lakeview Square Mall at the intersection of Sylvan Drive and 50 Street, just up the hill a block from H.J. Cody High School in the same building as the Mac’s Convenience Store.

[email protected]

Staff of the Sylvan Lake Career High School: Brian Ronnenberg, Sharon Tuckwood, Martine Katzmarzyk and Daryl Brown invite the public to join them for an upcoming open house being held at the school on Tuesday, May 10 from 1-4 p.m.

Members of the Sylvan Lake Fire Department extinguised a fi re at a nearby Hutterite colony located just off Highway 781 on Tuesday morning. The blaze was in control when

members arrived on scene and proceeded to ensure it was put out safely.

Although the owners of the farm did have a burn permit for the day of the scheduled fi re, Red Deer County had imple-mented a fi re ban Monday morning making the fi re unsafe.

The owners were unaware of the recently implemented fi re

and went ahead with their scheduled burn. Members from both Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County Fire Departments attended the fi re which, although a larger fi re, was put out safely. Fire bans will remain in affect for Red Deer County until further notice.

It is advisable that residents of Sylvan Lake and area re-frain from fi re based activities due to current dry conditions.

With fi res currently ravaging Fort McMurray and northern Alberta leaving many without homes, citizens of Sylvan Lake are rallying in support.

Currently there are two locations available to drop of donations including Golden Horizons Wellness Centre and ATB Financial.

Items currently in great need are clothing, hygiene products, water, backpacks, travel bags or backpacks. Pet products such as food, kennels, blankets and leashes are also being sought out.

On a municipal level, the Town of Sylvan Lake has regis-tered with the Alberta Public Works Association, joining the a list of communities willing to send staff and personnel north to assist in any way possible.

Given the recent fi res in the areas surrounding Sylvan Lake, the Town state they are not in a position to send fi re crews north. Currently the Town is awaiting to hear back on approval to send additional personnel for areas such as fam-ily services support or emergency management personnel.

SPORTSSPORTSYoung athletes teach importance

of mental health in sportAnnalisa Trieber and

Sebastian Reinhart are not your average Grade 5 stu-dents. The dynamic duo are involved in sport with both young athletes set to head out on international adven-tures this summer - one for hockey and one for dance.

While you may have as-sumed it would be Annalisa heading off to New York to dance and Sebastian head-ing off to Europe for hock-ey, the pair are uniquely reversed when it comes to sports traditionally played by their genders.

With Annalisa excelling on the ice and Reinhart busting out break dance moves, the pair are non-tra-ditional to say the least. Together, the young Mother Teresa students gave a presentation to students of Our Lady of the Rosary school on Tuesday morning where they shared their journeys as part of Mental Health Week.

The duo spoke on the importance of positive men-tal health when it comes to athletics and spoke to students on topics such as resiliency, overcoming obstacles and the role de-termination can play in achieving your goals.

First they shared how each came to be in their

non-traditional sport.“I wanted to do this sport

because my mom was a fi g-ure skater and then became a hockey player,” explained Annalisa. “My dad was a hockey player. So they de-cided to put me in skating lessons to see if I liked it.

Well let me tell you this I knew hockey was the sport for me because I loved it!”

Sebastian told how he spent his very early years listening to music his par-ents played.

“I started fi nding my own beat and began to try dif-

ferent dance moves in my basement,” said Sebastian. “I was very shy growing up and didn’t really start any conversations. But when it comes to dancing I don’t hesitate to get in front of a crowd and share my talents.”

Annalisa detailed chal-lenges she has faced in her hockey career, one of which was the time she got cut from a team she really wanted to be on leaving her feeling very upset.

“I realized it’s not the end of the world,” said Annalisa.

“I started practicing more and using positive self talk like ‘I can do it, keep work-ing hard, good pass, don’t give up’.”

She refused to give up and began a power skating program in Red Deer. She practiced shooting with pucks and tennis balls on her driveway and practiced stick handling. Then when next year rolled around she tried out again and made the team.

“I still practice a lot be-cause I love the game and I am now on the Red Deer Rustlers spring hockey team,” she explained. “You may think you want to quit but you should just work through those thoughts and keep working hard.”

As with anything, prac-tice makes perfect and Sebastian encouraged the students to pursue their gifts.

“I do believe I have a nat-ural talent for dance, but I’ve also put many hours of practice into what I love, which is also import-ant - fi nding the sport that you really love,” he said. “There is always room for improvement and a new level to reach every time. It’s important to surround yourself with positive peo-ple and those that share the same passion.”

Young gymnast wins silver in provincial competition

Lauren Howse, 14, competed in the 2016 Alberta Trampoline and Tumbling Provincial Championships last month and won silver.

She is now preparing to go the Western Canada Cup May long weekend.

She was chosen from all the level three and four ath-letes from the provincials. She is one of nine that were chosen to represent Alberta at the Western Canada Cup.

Local to Sylvan Lake, Lauren trains with the Thunder Country Trampoline and Gymnastics in Red Deer.

She has been competitive on the trampoline ever since grade 3 and has been doing gymnastics ever since the age of 3.

Even as Lauren has been in gymnastics her entire life, her family were still rooting for her at the provincials.

Her mother Jennifer said it was a bit of a surprise and most defi nitely an honour for Lauren to be chosen to go to the Western Canada Cup.

She was one of the lucky ones chosen to go out of the many athletes at the provincials, from many different clubs all over Alberta.

To win silver in Provincials, Lauren had to compete on the trampoline and the double mini trampoline. On the regular sized trampoline she did two routines.

Upon winning silver Lauren was very happy and re-acted how any athlete would react - with a permanent smile.

“She was really happy. She was very proud of herself. She couldn’t stop smiling,” Jennifer said.

To get to where she is now Lauren trains for 12 hours a week at the Thunder Country Trampoline and Gymnastics in Red Deer.

During these training sessions she warms up, practices her routines and conditions. Muscles strengthening is also a part of the training.

At the Western Canada Cup Lauren hopes to medal there as well.

“She’s training hard and she has to attend a training camp the fi rst weekend in May with the other athletes on team Alberta,” Jennifer said.

Lauren continues to work hard and train well not just to win medals provincially or in parts of Canada, she hopes to go to the Olympics one day.

What should I eat?

Boy, if I had a dollar for every time I was asked that. My answer? It depends.

I have much to say here. First off, we have to start with how many calories you burn each day – the easy rule is your weight x 10 = your BMR. (Basal Metabolic Rate). No, that’s not very accurate, but it’s a start.

At the gym, we use a state of the art body com-position analyzer to fi nd out for sure. Next we need

BY SCOTT MCDERMOTTSYLVAN LAKE NEWS COLUMNIST

HEALTH & WELLNESS

BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

to know how much you burn through exercise and movement and divide that into a daily average. Then we add your ADL: (Activities of Daily Living, how much you move each day in general and taking into account work – is it an offi ce job, or construction?), plus we factor in your SDA: (Food Digestion is called Specifi c Dynamic Action). All that put together gets us a start by letting us know how much to feed you.

Now, a calorie is not just a calorie. Let’s say we do the math and fi gure out that you need to consume 2200 calories a day. Great, but you cannot just eat two litres of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream per day and call it good. It doesn’t work that way.

You see – ice cream, for example, is all simple car-bohydrates and fat. It burns at a certain rate,and offers certain things to the body, mostly just fuel. Fuel in ex-cess turns to fat no matter what the source and simple

carbohydrates go almost directly to fat.

This is where the food choices you eat matter more than just the calories in that food. It is what you eat that really counts: pro-tein, carbohydrates and fat. We have all heard of them, but many folks have no idea what they really are.

Protein is what we use to build new tissue, replace-ment parts if you will. One of the books I wrote is called “If Your Body Were a Car, You Wouldn’t Treat it This Way” – so I use that analogy often. Without complete proteins, we can-not heal or replace tissue such as skin, bones and even brain tissue. We must have protein to heal and to grow. Protein provides four calories per gram, and actually can be used as fuel if carbohydrates are not present. Protein is meat, eggs, nuts, seeds and can also be found in dairy and a few alternates like tofu.

Fat is a slow burning fuel and very calorically dense at nine calories per gram.

So we need less of it by weight because it offers more fuel. Fat is essential for cellular health, joint health and brain health. Your brain is 78% choles-terol. Fat is any oil, butter, nuts and seeds, as well as avocados etc.

Carbohydrates are pure fuel. However, if you eat too many carbs, you build a bigger gas tank, simple as that. Like protein, carbs have four calories per gram. The most over abused carb is sugar and second is re-

fi ned wheat. To put it sim-ply – we eat too much of that stuff. Vegetables and Fruit are also carbs and they are the best kind of carbs.

Every diet plan is differ-ent. From vegan to keto-genic and from raw food to intermittent fasting can all be proven to be ‘right’ through research and that’s the problem. They cannot all be right.Sso the question becomes, what’s right for you? Again, the answer is, it depends. It depends on

your lifestyle, your habits, your digestion, your health, your age, your gender, your heritage and more.

The best thing you can do is pick a base starting plan and give it enough time to really be tested. Adjust according to how your body reacts and fi nd the best plan for you. Trying a new fad diet every few months will never work and mod-eration always makes the most sense.

Happy Training!Scott

RCMP News Release:

April 16th – April 22nd

April 16th

12:52 a.m. – RCMP attended a location in Red Deer County in re-lation to a complaint of an outdoor party off Highway 11A and Range Road 23. A check stop was initiated outside of the area. The party was dispersed and all open liquor was discarded.

2:04 p.m. – A com-plaint of a male lying on the side of Highway 11 near Highway 781 resulted in police attendance. A res-ident of Clearwater County was ar-rested after it was confi rmed that he had consumed alcohol in breach of the conditions of a court order. The 25-year-old male was subsequently convicted and sentenced to 17 days in jail.

8:31 p.m. – A truck topper was dam-aged in the overnight hours at an ad-dress in Bentley. The owner advised police that the vehicle was parked outside a garage on 50th Avenue and the topper was found in a back alley. There were no witnesses to the in-cident.

11:59 p.m. – A large party involving a bonfi re was attended by RCMP on Range Road 23 in Red Deer County. A group of over 20 people was dis-persed. There were no arrests made.

April 17th

1:29 a.m. – RCMP attended an ad-dress on Range Road 14 in Lacombe County. A party of several people was shut down. A 17-year-old male was arrested for obstruction. All vehicles were checked and any alcohol was seized and discarded.

1:25 p.m. – Fire crews and police responded to a vehicle fi re in the Ryders Ridge area in Sylvan Lake. A 1989 Chevrolet Corvette was en-gulfed in fl ames, however the blaze was quickly extinguished. The cause of the fi re is not considered to be suspicious.

3:14 p.m. – RCMP were involved in a brief standoff outside a resi-dence in Lacombe County. A dispatch was received of a group of males

fi ghting outside Lake Trail Estates in Bentley. When police attended, a 27-year-old male who instigated the alterca-tion had left the area in his vehicle. The male was tracked to his res-idence at which time he refused to exit the premises for police. Verbal negotiations continued for approxi-mately an hour before

the male surrendered to police.

7:35 p.m. – A 911 call was received of an intoxicated driver on 49th Street in Sylvan Lake. A witness reported a vehicle with a group of occupants drinking in the vehicle at the loca-tion and then traveling to a liquor establishment on Lakeshore Drive. Charged with impaired driving and having a blood alcohol level over .08 is a 28-year-old Edmonton male. A 20-year-old female and a 28-year-old male, also of Edmonton, were fi ned for transporting liquor in an open container.

April 18th

2:37 p.m. – Police and fi re crews were called to Sylvan Lake where people on the lake were stranded on a fl otation device. Several people in their twenties were assisted to the shore. Alcohol violation tickets were also issued to the group.

April 20th

5:24 a.m. – A vehicle was stolen from a property on Wildrose Drive in Sylvan Lake. A Ford truck, which was locked, was taken from outside the address. It was later recovered in the Lacombe area.

4:44 p.m. – A 39-year-old female is facing charges in relation to a report of two suspicious individuals at a re-tail store in Hewlett Park Landing in Sylvan Lake. RCMP attended the area and located the female in a vehicle with a stolen plate as well as drugs and drug paraphernalia. The female was arrested and is facing charges of possession of property obtained by crime; failing to comply with a pro-bation order; and possession of an illegal substance.
