Mental Health Week kicks off in local schools STORY AND PHTOOS BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS All 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 benefits in children when doing yoga is limitless. “You can see after a while how much greater of an attention 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 maintaining 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 first hand. “A big part of the promotion of mental health is reducing the stigma and we see that stigma pop up everywhere,” 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 understand 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 allowed to wear their hats in class for the day in support of mental health.

Whether it is recreation, drama, sport, dance, civic engagement, 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 filled 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.

Philanthropy Award’. Tuesday evening saw ‘Future Chefs’ shining in the kitchens of H.J. Cody, where two teams of hopefuls competed to be named Sylvan Lake’s next top young chefs.

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 citizens 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, seniors will see themselves heading to Red Deer in the dead of night after having a non life-threatening episode. Although the senior will surely live, their incident still requires medical attention, instead 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

So God made a farmer
BY DON MACINTRE MLA, INNISFAIL - SYLVAN LAKE
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 recognizable to millions of people throughout North America. Mr. Harvey, who captivated millions of listeners for nearly 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 commitment farmers make to our society. In 1978, Paul Harvey recorded his “So God made a farmer”1 address, which was about the sacrifice, 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 fields that line the highways come to life with the activity of the caretakers who grow the food we eat. This activity is not only important 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 important as demand for our food products increases. Alberta farmers have the expertise to supply a range of safe, high-quality food products into domestic and world markets at competitive prices. Those markets are expanding as the world population increases and as more countries develop the ability to improve their standard of living, which

includes safe and reliable food products. In order to have a competitive agricultural sector it must be built around the actions of individual 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 provide a positive business environment, to remove artificial barriers, and to administer proper regulations in a fair and equitable manner. The role agriculture plays, even in a modern society, is as much about culture as it is about producing the food on our tables. It’s about the rural values that have been carried on for generations throughout farming 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 duties 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 Official 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.

Students learn different career paths from local presenters BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 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 occupations 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 individuals 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 acupuncturist, first responder, massage therapist, electrician, dentist and hygienist, medical
students, optometrist, lawyer, radio announcer, a Town councillor, environmental officer, flight instructor, fitness facility owner and an engineer. All the presenters were very passionate about sharing what they did in their careers 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 description 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 finished 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. reporter@sylvanlakenews.com

The grand return of swing to Sylvan Lake Jazz at the Lake set to host Swing Into Spring concert BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 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 recording artists in addition to helping a few budding local artists to bloom for themselves, including two time Juno award winning 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 organizers 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

SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 11
Firefighter Stairclimb proved challenging but rewarding BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Signing up for the Firefighter 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 figure out what to do in the moment. In compete gear and waiting for the signal to start climbing excitement filled 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 first few stairs didn’t seem too bad. However once climbing up to floor 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 floor? Had my hours spent preparing for this challenge been all for nothing? Even with having to stop for a break at floor seven, discouragement did not fill my mind. The truth of ‘you can do this’ filled my mind. Climbing more stars the number 20 was in site. By floor 25 my fingers raced to open up my jacket and undo the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus strap around my waist. My lungs filled with air making me realize that a lot of what was making it harder was that my lungs weren’t filling up completely with air. Waving my jacket to cool my body off felt great and gave me the confidence to continue. After all I was doing it. Walking up a few flights of stairs and stopping to breath, drink water and take a short break other firefighters 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 fist bump. Whether you were a rookie firefighter 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 floor 40 my face was drenched with sweat. Time to take another break. There was no shame in taking breaks. Upon reaching this floor 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 floor 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 floor 10 a minute a go?” Making my legs do their job I climbed to floor 50. Only 5 more floors 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 standing to the right. The family caught me on camera telling him how men and women are equal and that firefighting is not just a man’s job. Success filled my mind. My body was physically tired, by my brain was wired with energy. Finding my group again outside we all posed for a picture 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. reporter@sylvanlakenews.com
My mother in law used to read the end of a mystery novel to figure 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.

In 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 finding themselves in search of flexible options to suit their lifestyle. On a local level, the Sylvan Lake Career High School has witnessed their numbers steadily increasing over the past five 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 flexible learning environment were seen as a very alternative option but that connotation is changing.” Many of their part time students actively blend their learning experience between the Sylvan Lake Career High School and H.J. Cody High School. For young parents, the flexible 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

and went ahead with their scheduled burn. Members from both Sylvan Lake and Red Deer County Fire Departments attended the fire which, although a larger fire, 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 refrain from fire based activities due to current dry conditions. With fires 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 registered 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 fires in the areas surrounding Sylvan Lake, the Town state they are not in a position to send fire crews north. Currently the Town is awaiting to hear back on approval to send additional personnel for areas such as family services support or emergency management personnel. editor@sylvanlakenews.com

Young athletes teach importance of mental health in sport BY JENNA SWAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS Annalisa Trieber and Sebastian Reinhart are not your average Grade 5 students. The dynamic duo are involved in sport with both young athletes set to head out on international adventures this summer - one for hockey and one for dance. While you may have assumed it would be Annalisa heading off to New York to dance and Sebastian heading off to Europe for hockey, 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-traditional 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 mental health when it comes to athletics and spoke to students on topics such as resiliency, overcoming obstacles and the role determination 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 figure skater and then became a hockey player,” explained Annalisa. “My dad was a hockey player. So they decided 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 parents played. “I started finding 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 challenges 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 working 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 because 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, practice makes perfect and Sebastian encouraged the students to pursue their gifts. “I do believe I have a natural talent for dance, but I’ve also put many hours of practice into what I love, which is also important - finding 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 people and those that share the same passion.” Editor@sylvanlakenews.com

Young gymnast wins silver in provincial competition BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HAN SYLVAN LAKE NEWS 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 athletes 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 definitely 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 reacted 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 first 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.
Silver Winner – Lauren Howse, 14, local to Sylvan Lake won a silver medal at the 2016 Alberta Trampoline and Tumbling Provincial Championships last month.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
What should I eat?
BY SCOTT MCDERMOTT SYLVAN LAKE NEWS COLUMNIST 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 composition analyzer to find out for sure. Next we need
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 office job, or construction?), plus we factor in your SDA: (Food Digestion is called Specific 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 figure 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 carbohydrates and fat. It burns at a certain rate,and offers certain things to the body, mostly just fuel. Fuel in excess 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: protein, 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, replacement 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 cannot 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% cholesterol. 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-
fined wheat. To put it simply – 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 different. From vegan to ketogenic 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 find the best plan for you. Trying a new fad diet every few months will never work and moderation always makes the most sense. Happy Training! Scott
