Nomination deadline for Leaders of Tomorrow Awards extended
Nominations are currently being collect-ed for the Leaders of Tomorrow Awards.
The awards recognize youth in the com-munity who show leadership in a variety of different ways.
Youth are nominated for the Excellence Award in three difference age categories: 6-10, 11-14 and 15-18.
FCSS Youth Services Supervisor Krista Carlson said nominators are typically teachers, principals, different group leaders, youth pastors, sports coaches, school administrators and youth workers, although she added any one in the com-munity could nominate a youth.
Youth are recognized for volunteer work, setting good examples at school or in different activities such as helping their teachers after school or tutoring other students with their homework.
These awards recognize the positive contribution that youth are making in the community, as well as include showing kindness and being good role models for others in their class or programs.
Last year 112 youth were nominated. Each young person was called up to the stage and was recognized.
The nomination forms are simple and ask for names, contact information for the nominee and the nominator because the nominators are invited to the awards ceremony to watch the youth they nom-inated go up on stage.
Nominators write a short paragraph on why they think the youth they are nom-inating deserves the award. A signature from a parent is also required.
When youth are recognized for their contributions, it inspires them to do even
more in the community said Carlson.She added in the past they have had
youth who have been recognized explain what it meant to them to be recognized in such a way.
“Just to be recognized for the small things is a big deal to these kids and they love being able to come and walk up on stage,” Carlson said. “It’s a really proud moment for both them and their parents. It means a lot to them and we see them doing even more after the awards.”
Receiving the recognition goes a long way. Youth are able to list it on their resume and it can also help when applying for scholarships.
Carlson said she has written many ref-erence letters for the winners.
“It can make a big difference for them down the road,” she said. “It inspires them to continue on down that path.”
Having an adult in the community recognize the efforts youth are making shows their contributions are not going unnoticed and can act as a strong positive affi rmation.
“There are a lot of kids out there who are doing really good stuff and they are really making an impact in our community,” Carlson said. “It keeps them on that path. It’s really important that we as adults are recognizing those things in a formal way.”
The nomination deadline has been ex-tended to April 13.
Forms can be picked up at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre or found online at www.sylvanlake.ca under the FCSS tab or at http://www.sylvanlake.ca/fcss/youth/youth-leaders.html

Facade Improvement Program seeing success
The fi rst recipients of the Town of Sylvan Lake’s Façade Improvement Program re-cently received their grant.
Derold Clark, property owner, and Denise Milne, operator/artist, received $7,500, which was used to improve the face of their recently renovated storefront on Centennial Street.
The Façade Improvement Program is de-signed to encourage retail and commercial building owners to invest in storefront upgrades, with the Town offering up to $15,000 in matching funds to those who apply for the program.
Storefronts located along Centennial Street are currently open to apply for grants.
In helping to revitalize the downtown and Waterfront Commercial District the program aims to create a more interesting and appealing street environment to attract people and new businesses to the area explained Joanne Gaudet, communications offi cer for the Town of Sylvan Lake.
“The program is intended to promote the marketability of the local business area,
enhance the appearance and charm of commercial area while making streets a more attractive, safe, and interesting place to walk,” she added.
Denise Milne and Darold Clark, who opened Bonavista Fine Art in December 2015, were pleased to have been involved with the program adding they feel down-town is the right option for their business and are pleased with the outcome.
“It was the best building for us,” said Milne on their Centennial Street storefront. “The exterior of your building is what catches people’s eye. I can see the vision for the future of downtown. If everyone was to utilize this program the area would be very eclectic.”
For more information on how to apply to the Façade Improvement Program visit www.sylvanlake.ca/grants.
Milne and Bonavista Fine Arts are also currently hosting an open call for local artists who would like to showcase their work in the gallery. Artists wishing to apply are to email eight high quality images of their artwork to bonavistaart@gmail.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A referendum is the action of initiating a vote on a single po-litical decision which has been put to the public in the form of a question. A referendum is a tool available to governments that allows the people a chance to ex-press their opinion on a specifi c issue or policy.
United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that on June 23, eligible voters will have the opportunity to vote on whether the U.K. will retain mem-bership in the European Union or not. The E.U. is an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries. The specifi c question posed to voters will be whether they want to be in or out of the European Union.
In recent years the merits of the United Kingdom’s membership in the E.U. has been a very hotly de-bated issue. Prime Minister David Cameron has recognized that making unilateral decisions on this issue eliminates the ability
for the people to have direct input on a very critical issue. Cameron has called for this referendum despite the fact he has publicly stated he is in favour of remaining in the European Union. Ultimately through this referendum, the peo-ple of the United Kingdom will have the opportunity to decide what they feel is best for them.
Unforeseen circumstances such as world market conditions oc-casionally arise in the period be-tween elections and require de-cisions to be made outside what was included in a government’s platform prior to being elected. Unforeseen circumstances should never be taken as an opportunity to implement ideological or uni-lateral policies if the principles of democracy are to be respected.
Democracy is defi ned as govern-ment for the people by the people, which begs the question, how can a government be for the people if you never ask the people the question?
The implementation of legis-lation establishing the essential democratic tools of citizen-initi-ated referenda and voter recall will allow Albertans to be the cus-todians of the authority of gov-ernment. Without consultation of voters, governments are unilater-ally removing the authority that should be reserved for the people they are supposed to serve.
On March 10th MLA for Drayton Valley – Devon, Mark Smith ta-bled Private Member’s Bill 201, the Election Recall Act, which is a step towards ensuring Albertans have authority when it comes to their elected members. The pro-cess of Recall outlined in Bill 201 is an arduous process designed to avoid any frivolous claims. Recall is a very good fi rst step towards accountability and puts the power back into the hands of Albertans.
In a healthy democracy, ulti-mate power must always reside with the people. This can only be achieved if there are legislated
mechanisms in place that allow Albertans the opportunity to re-call their representatives and/or initiate legislation their represen-tatives are unwilling to bring for-ward.
Recall and referendum ultimate-ly give more authority to Albertans when it comes to deciding what’s best for them and their families.

Re: What I Think of Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan
Dear Editor,What is missing from the Alberta NDP’s
Climate Leadership Plan is a money-back guar-antee. That is, we all should get our extra tax dollars returned with interest when the gov-ernment-hyped assumption, namely that cli-mate change is caused primarily by our carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, turns out to be false.
It’s not just the marginal taxation and other fashionable intrusions into the economy in the name of the environment that will limit Alberta’s ability to compete in Canada and the world. It’s the fundamental government error of attempting to apply economic controls and penalties on top of already-regulated indus-trial and civil practice. European nations are proving that green policies and subsidies don’t work. Repeating the experience here in Alberta makes no sense.
The Earth will determine if its climate will change, not an army of climate modelers with supercomputers who predict catastroph-ic change in the distant future; nor the legions of climate bureaucrats and consultants whose careers depend on a warming environment to justify both their existence and their ex-tortionistic tax policies; nor companies that profi t from climate change hysteria at public expense. The Earth doesn’t care about the cosmetic packaging of the Climate Leadership Plan. That’s all that counts.
When fl ying to tropical regions to escape the cold north in winter, I like to look out the window from a height of 11 km, down through 75% of the thin layer of atmosphere that cov-ers the Earth (its radius is 6370 km), through the cloud layers where moisture condenses and freezes, and wonder how a 0.1 or even 1 degree Celsius change at ground level can possibly heat up the almost 6 billion trillion tonnes of rock and water below. It can’t. The
modern activist obsession with minute chang-es in temperatures, attributed by governments today to us humans, is an absurdity that can only be appreciated by panicked tax collectors in need of a justifi cation. Scientists like me un-derstand that the Earth cannot be accurately represented by even the best climate models. I don’t like to be scammed by computer games, especially schemes that originate in the bow-els of the United Nations and its wealth-redis-tributionist agencies.
For that reason, punitive actions like the NDP’s Climate Leadership Plan will only be improved by a money-back guarantee. When the Earth continues to warm and cool and the climate continues to change as it always has, getting my money back will mean more trips to the tropics in winter. That’s because warm is good.
Regards,Graeme Strathdee, Ph.D.

Re: Electricity in AlbertaDear Editor,The Wildrose commentary
about electricity does not do so on the basis of facts.
Sure Albertans are already pay-ing too much for electrical costs, but the reason is not a lack of elec-trical generation. The reason is overbuilding the electrical grid to accommodate coal fi red genera-tors allowed by deregulation. This is a mess the NDP has inherited and one which I and many others spent over eight years fi ghting through regulatory processes and the courts.
The world has adopted low car-bon standards and the Alberta NDP government is doing the sen-sible thing by phasing out coal fi red electrical generation. These generators are one of the biggest point sources of carbon emissions in the province and give Alberta an environmental black eye.
Given the low price of natu-ral gas, shifting generation to gas fi red turbines makes good environmental and economic sense. This is a position long ad-vocated by the Industrial Power Consumers Association of Alberta as well as the electrical utilities of Calgary and Medicine Hat to name a few.
Gas turbines not only have the advantage of low cost fuel, the consumption of which helps our local oil and gas producers, but they do not need the huge and costly electrical transmission lines the coal generators do. The same applies to renewable gener-ators like solar and wind.
Alberta’s total electrical load is around 9,000 megawatts. Right now there is 8,700 megawatts of gas turbine and wind genera-tion already installed. This is not counting hydro-electric and bio mass. So we are very close to being able to discard coal genera-
tors entirely.Yet in monitoring the system it
is evident that much of the ex-isting generating capacity of both gas turbines and wind electric is not being utilized. At the time of writing this, gas turbines are running at under 50% of their capacity and the wind farms are only being allowed to run at 17% of their capacity.
Last week the International Energy Agency reported that 90% of the new electrical generation created globally is from renewable. This type of generation system is more resistant to failure and is cheaper to build than the ugly and very expensive transmission tow-ers blighting our landscape and raising our electrical bills.
Alberta could have gone anoth-er way, but Klein ignored much informed advice and deregu-lated the electrical sector. The Conservatives even passed a law setting aside an objective “Needs”
hearing to make sure obsolete transmission lines were built and their American owners are guar-anteed a return on investment by the Alberta public.
The so-called take or pay con-tracts with the coal generators are not in the public interest and the Alberta NDP should follow the legal precedent Stephen Harper established on the Wheat Board and simply cancel them without compensation.
Wildrose should not have thrown out their only MLA who understood the electrical system. Then they might have made in-formed and pointed criticisms rather than their less than accu-rate articles supporting the failed policy of deregulation. They need to learn the difference between a pulpit and a podium and do their homework.

Lakeshore Drive redevelopment schedule for October 2016 completion
Sylvan Lake’s infamous Lakeshore Drive is set to be completed this summer. The redevelopment of Lakeshore, which took place over six phases, is scheduled for completion in October of 2016.
Two areas of Lakeshore are set to undergo construction beginning May 2. The stretch of road from Centennial Street up past Marina Bay to Wildrose Drive, as well as the area from the end of Lakeshore Drive to the traffi c circle are both scheduled for underground water main upgrades in the month of May, with concrete electrical and landscape work beginning at the end of July.
A break in construction is anticipat-ed from the end of July until after the September long weekend and will continue until the project is completed in October. The fi nal portion of the project to be com-pleted in September and October will be the intersection of Centennial Street and Lakeshore Drive.
Project Manager for the Town of Sylvan Lake, Dave Kelham stated the break in construction is do to accommodate peak visitor times in the season and the busi-nesses they will be visiting.
The Town of Sylvan Lake is currently set to host an open house to consult with business owners and residents in the area in regards to phases fi ve and six of the Lakeshore Redevelopment Plan on
Wednesday, April 13 from 6-9 p.m. at the Municipal Building.
“It will give people an understanding of what’s going on and give them a better understanding of the schedule and what’s going on,” said Kelham on the open house.
Council initiated the Lakeshore Drive Redevelopment Master Plan as a legacy project in 2008 with initial construction having begun in 2009 with the end goal of the project being to support the enhance-ment of a vibrant, diverse, attractive and well-planned environment for residents and visitors.
Vicki Kurz, economic development offi -cer for the Town of Sylvan Lake, said she believes the end result will have a positive impact on businesses in the areas once Lakeshore Drive is completed.
“I think this is really a prime opportunity to fi nish the entire stretch of Lakeshore Drive so that we no longer have any in-adequacies between different areas of Lakeshore Drive. It needs to be consistent,” said Kurz. “It will certainly fi nish the wa-terfront construction process and I really think it will help to attract investments.”
She added the completion of Lakeshore Drive is critical to tourism and down-town. In addition to street beautifi cation through new pavement and sidewalks, the Lakeshore Drive Redevelopment Plan also includes a number of public art pieces set to be unveiled this year.
Intermittent road closures are expected
throughout the summer with the Town asking business owners in the areas set for construction to please attend the up-coming open house to ensure adequate communication.
In addition the Town has also extended
invites via their business owner email data-base, with Kurz adding if business owners have not yet received the email to please email her directly at vkurz@sylvanlake.ca.

The Town would only require visitors from out-of-town to pay for parking.
The Town would use revenue from the parking fees to maintain the downtown & waterfront area, particularly upkeep of the park spaces.
Centennial Park lots, Lakeshore Drive (40 Street to 50 Street), 49 Street Couplet, and Centennial Street & 50 A St., are all currently recommended as areas for paid
parking. The parking lots along the railway would remain FREE.
The Paid Parking Program, would only run May 15 to September 15 of each year.
“Resident Only Zones” are planned for the areas known as the Cabin District & West Village, as well as homes within the downtown. Homeowners in these zones
would receive residential parking passes.
Pay parking is receommended for both weekdays & weekends, and would operate between the hours of 10:00 am and 9:00 pm. Hourly and Daily rates available.
($1.50/hr & $7/day)

Pay Parking Program open house held
A Pay Parking Program and the Resident Only Parking Program Open House was held recently in Council Chambers at the Municipal Building.
Town Council and staff heard from res-idents of Sylvan Lake who were both in favour and against the Program, which is set to return to Council for the fi rst of three readings for a bylaw in the coming weeks.
Joanne Gaudet, communications offi cer for the Town of Sylvan Lake, stated there was a good split of people who were both in favour and who shared concerns with around 40 residents attending in total.
“Many of the individuals were happy to hear the Town recognized residents had paid their dues and will be exempt from pay parking,” said Gaudet. “Those who spoke to the Residents Only Parking Program [being implemented in the cottage area] were mainly in support of the program in that they are happy we are acknowledging that visitors parking in that area is an issue.”

Students hear presentation on farm safety
Students at École Steffi e Woima School learned the value of staying safe around farming equipment and machinery during a recent presentation held by Farm Safety Centre.
Through various activities, students learned the value of thinking ahead and making good choices in their farming interactions.
The hazards of lawn mowers and weed whackers were also discussed, making the educational experience highly benefi cial for the students living in town, on a farm or acreage.
The grade 1 students learned the dan-gers of playing with farm equipment as well as how to avoid hazardous situations.
Playing a game called ‘eye spy’, the
students pointed to different activities children were doing on farm equipment. The majority of them were not safe.
When the students pointed at the pic-tures, instructor from the Farm Safety Centre, Priscilla Tames, asked them and discussed how the situation could be dangerous.
She let the students answer which activ-ities they thought were dangerous, which were safe and why.
Growing up on a farm and cattle ranch herself in addition to being a teacher’s as-sistant, Tames had a good understanding on how to instill the important lessons into students’ minds.
Some of the big lessons the students learned was the one seat one rider rule, how heavy farming equipment can be and what clothing to wear to avoid hazards.
The students learned that bagging cloth-
BY JASMINE O’HALLORAN-HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS
ing, shoes with laces and long hair not tide up could be hazardous.
Farming equipment is not a toy for chil-dren to play with she explained.
With farming equipment advancing in technology, they can be a temptation for smaller fi ngers to play with. This can lead to dangerous situations.
“The equipment is so big and there are so many buttons and functions with these tractors and they are a lot more computer-ized since 20 years ago,” Tames said.
“The reaction time for children isn’t what it is for adults,” she added. “You don’t necessarily know all the hazards of it.”
Tames knows the value of educating children who don’t live on a farm also as lawn mower accidents can happen anywhere.
“It happens more often than we realize,” she said.
Even with reinforcing the one seat, one rider rule, Tames said she still hears of children who are riding on their parent’s lap on the lawn mower.
Students also learned the value of stay-ing and playing inside a fence because fences offer protection.
If animals are fenced in, students learned to approach a nice looking animal with an adult with them. She explained animals can look cute, however they can quickly turn aggressive if they feel threatened.
“Fences are there to keep us safe but how many cows have charged through a fence and busted it down to protect their young?,” Tames said.
Tames emphasized the value of asking
questions when you don’t know some-thing. There is no such thing as a stupid question.
She said many people are afraid to ask questions because they don’t want to look stupid, but asking questions can be what saves a persons life.
When people don’t ask questions this is when more accidents can happen, simply because they aren’t completely in the know.
“I think if you’re unfamiliar with some-thing - ask a question,” Tames said.
She said people love horses because they are, however horses are the animals that have caused the most deaths in Alberta.
“People love them,” Tames said. “People think horses are these kind wonderful animals, but they are unpredictable, they have a mind of their own.”
Horses startle easily and plastic bags are their worst nightmare.
Tames showed the students how hors-es see by making a fi st and holding it between her eyes. All the students in the class did this. The result – they couldn’t see in front of them.
“(It happens) in the blink of an eye,” Tames said. “It happens so quickly.”
This is why she devotes her time to teaching students the value of staying safe and taking the time to make the better choice.
“Think about the consequences,” Tames said. “When an accident does happen how are you going to handle that?”

The two most important days in your life is the day that you are born and the day you fi nd out why. – Mark Twain.There is a question that is asked in the bible that goes like this - “What is your life?” (James 4:14)And our culture in a way really doesn’t have an answer for us. In fact, you could argue that the western world is the fi rst civilization in all of human history that doesn’t teach its people why they exist. In others words, no one knows. We don’t really have a “purpose course”. Instead, our culture can embrace a mindset that says nothing really matters, just try to fi nd meaning as you go.But I think deep down we know that there is a purpose for our lives and that things do matter.For instance, most people when they are on their death bed don’t usually say “Let me see my trophies one more time.” Or “bring my income statement from 2015 so I can see it one more time” Or “Let me check my savings account”.Anyone who has had a near death experience will tell you, in
those moments things become very clear. Most people want to get their heart right with God, and want to see the people that they love. Life gets clear when time is short.The Bible says that you were born with purpose, and that you are not an accident.David in Psalms 139 even wrote about while he was in his mother’s womb saying: “In your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” – Verse 16David is basically saying this – While you were in your mother’s womb, God had thought about you, He had a plan for your life, and He had a longing in his heart about who you would become. And for some of us, we might feel that we have lost our way a little bit, and if that is the case, I want to tell you that He is calling you back home today.God Bless you,

H.J. Cody one act plays hit close to homeStudents performed fi ve one-act plays in
the H.J. Cody School theatre Monday and Tuesday evenings.
The plays were heartfelt and fi lled full of real life scenarios the audience could relate to.
The actors and actresses made the au-dience feel like they were in the story. The performers made eye contact with the au-
dience, making their characters come alive.The plays were comical and at times it
was hard to believe the students were only acting out their characters.
The performances started out with ‘Scuba Lessons’ a comical play. The main character Kelly Donovan played by Shyrina Tarnasky waits for her date to arrive. She waits in the same coffee shop where her friend Dan Lanzetta played by Alexander McBride is on a date with Rayne Storm played by Daryl-Lynn Jimmo.
Sure Thing – The One Act play ‘Sure Thing’ was performed by Bill (Josh Parenteau) and Better (Sophie Brooks) as one of the fi ve plays performed at the H.J. Cody School’s theatre Monday and Tuesday. Jasmine O’Halloran–Han/Sylvan Lake News
JASMINE O’HALLORAN–HANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS
While Kelly waits for her date to arrive she is eaves dropping on Dan and his date.
It becomes obvious that Kelly wants Dan and is jealous that he is on a date with another woman. In the end Kelly and Dan admit they like each other.
The second play, ‘A Life Sentence’ was the heartfelt story of an old woman sharing what it was like to see her husband go through dementia.
Anne Bailey played by Lauren Rowe shared her life story with the audience about how her husband Dave played by Wyatt Bossé lead a life as a police offi cer and suffered from dementia before he passed away.
Rowe made her character come to life with a sincere voice and intense facial expressions. It brought some audience members to tears.
In character she described what she had gone through while taking care of her hus-band who was sick with dementia.
Bossé played the part of Rowe’s husband to perfection, acting as a confused old man who was insistent on being able to fi nd his pants as he needed to be at the police station. His wife kept insisting on how he didn’t have to work that day.
There were moments where Bossé’s character would come back to the moment and would recognize his wife leaving the audience in amazement at the younger actor’s skills.
The third play was ‘Checking Out’.A British play, with characters Sandra and
Kerry-Anne, played by Emma Villeneuve and Jessica Beckwith with both of the girls playing their British characters stunningly.
The mother and daughter they portrayed seemingly lived two very different lives.
The fourth play ‘Sure Thing’ was comical and made the audience laugh. Betty layed by Sophie Brooks sits and reads a book while Bill played by Josh Parenteau musters up the courage to sit in the chair beside her.
At the beginning the audience is amused with both characters saying ‘sure thing’ after everything they do.
After Bill musters up the courage to sit beside Betty they start a conversation about the book she is reading. The audience can tell things aren’t quite as they seem when they keep hearing the bell ding.
It was defi nitely a play that made the audience laugh.
The fi nal play ‘Almost Maine’ depicted romance and love in a comical way.
The plot ranged from characters sitting and mustering up the courage to say ‘I love you’, skating, losing a boot and admitting to being lonely, to camping out in someone else’s back yard just to see the stars mend a broken heart.
All of the plays were well rehearsed and well prepared.
They were all directed by students who played multiple roles.
Jacqui Renwick, H.J Cody High School theatre arts teacher said the students took a great deal of work to make the show happen and only asked her for help when they needed to.
Renwick gave much of the credit to her students who lead the productions and put on the fi ve brilliant performances.

Community market to be held
Over thirty local vendors, including artists and crafts-persons, are set to sell their goods at a spring market being held at ATB Financial on April 12 from 5-8 p.m.
Although an unconventional location for a market, Marion Frame, personal banking specialist with ATB Sylvan Lake said they hope it is a great way to pull the community together for a good cause.
“We want to try to support and bolster local artists, craftsmen and home based businesses,” said Frame. “The economy is tough and we want to help as much
as we can.”There is no admission fee to the market for either ven-
dors or attendees, however Frame will be gathering do-nations to go towards both the Sylvan Lake Community Partner’s Assocation and Serenity Pet Shelter.
“Not only is it going to be really fun, it also helps out these two wonderful organizations who I know have also experienced increased usage,” said Frame. “They really need the support also.”
For more information or to register to be a vendor contact Marion Frame at 403 302 5706.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
BY SCOTT MCDERMOTTSYLVAN LAKE NEWS COLUMNIST
You have no idea what I’m talking aboutI often forget a key fact. I
am a freak. I am also sur-rounded by freaks.
You see, we love to ex-ercise and we forget that most people do not. We have been at this so long that it feels normal but for many people, exercise is a chore - a thing you ‘have to do’, rather than a thing you ‘want to do’. It’s really important for fi tness nuts to realize this and for me
too when I am writing this article for you each week.
Most people exercise to lose weight or be health-
ier and that’s great. But that group of people, some studies say up to 75% of exercisers, quit and fall off
the wagon a much more than the other part of the group, the ones that exer-cise because it’s fun and they like it.
I came to exercise from the ‘have to’ side and turned in to the ‘love to’ side. I was overweight and out of shape after 13 years at a desk job in architec-ture. I joined a gym be-cause my doctor told me I would be dead soon if I didn’t. Now I can’t stand it when I’m not able to exer-cise or move.
Being broken from the crash in November has re-ally been hard but as soon as my doctor said I could run, I wrapped my bro-ken shoulder and arm in a brace and ran. It felt like being able to breathe again - magical and wonderful, the blue sky, the birds, the feeling of movement.
I have lost some of you again haven’t I? Sorry. To many people running for two hours would be awful, painful and horrible. So to talk of the joys means I have forgotten where you might be at.
What if you thought of exercise as a gift? It really is an amazing gift you know. It is the way we were designed – we were supposed to move. Sitting all day is one of the worst, most toxic things we do. It causes back prob-lems, heart problems, cir-culation problems and so much more.
We need to move. So all you need to do is create
the opportunity. Park far away from work or the mall. Take the stairs, walk when on the phone, etc. One of my favourite clients got a walking treadmill in his offi ce and now does long walks while he orders supplies and inventory for his store. It will save his life.
It can be as simple as getting a dog and taking it for a walk twice a day.
Did you know that work is harder when you don’t exercise? All work. Doesn’t matter what you do. If you are not exercising, it is harder to think, harder to reason, harder to solve problems, you have less energy, stamina and effec-tiveness. You are also sick more often, and when you do get sick, it lasts longer and hits harder.
A little exercise ramps up your immune sys-tem, your energy levels, increases metabolism, helps you sleep better and helps with mental clari-ty. It doesn’t have to be a tonne of exercise either, just a 30 minute class or a 20 minute walk. Even if you stopped work for four minutes and did 50 body weight squats every day, you would feel the benefi t. Exercise makes the blood have more oxygen - which feeds the brain, the heart, the muscles, the organs and everything gets better.
I know, I am rambling on about my passion again - sorry, but what if you drank a little more water today. Moved your body a little more than yesterday. Ate a little more healthy food? Then my weird ob-session with being healthy would be good for some-thing and I hope that’s the case.
Happy Training!Scott

WOW luncheon offering tips on great leadership
The WOW Luncheon (Women Out Working) will host a special guest presenter April 14 at their monthly luncheon which will be held at the Sugarbelle in Sylvan Lake.
At these luncheons women in business such as entrepreneurs or in a leadership role in a busi-ness, management or su-pervisory position. They use the luncheons to net-work with one another and often invite special guest speakers.
“It’s a place to promote yourself and your busi-ness, to meet other busi-ness women in the com-munity and encourage local development and local shopping and all that kind of fun stuff,” said small business advi-sor for the Rural Alberta Business Centre for Rockey Mountain House, Michelle Andrishak.
She said the women wanted to learn some key skills in leadership. After searching for the best presenter they decided to bring in Alana Peters for the April 14 meeting.
Peters has been educat-ed in coaching. Coaching is a key element when it comes to dealing with cus-tomers, clients or employ-ees.
At this meeting women will learn some amazing skills that Andrishak said would usually be taught in university.
This is why she is ex-cited about this event, as women will learn these skills at an affordable cost.
The primary topic of dis-cussion will be leaderships and leaderships skills.
There are 50 seats avail-able and Andrishak en-courages women to pur-chase tickets early as they do sell out quickly.
Good leadership skills are key when in a man-agement or supervisory
position said Andrishak.She added leadership is
often a topic of discussion at the luncheons.
The women also discuss things like practices, great marketing ideas that will work in the area, tips for success in business and how to manage well.
“We talk about lead-ership and we learn a lot of different things,” Andrishak said.
The luncheon also pro-vides networking opportu-nity for the women to meet other business women in the surrounding area.
“It’s really quite amazing the women that do come to the luncheons who ha-ven’t had the opportunity to get out from their busi-ness to meet other busi-ness women in the com-munity and support each other,” Andrishak said.
Tickets can be pre-pur-chased online at www.wehub.info/profi les.htm

“We see so much good work going on in the community. Being able to recognize these people and all of the work that’s being done provides a great sense of community,” Davis said.
Volunteers are a big part of what holds the community together. Without the volunteers many programs enjoyed by the community members would not be able to run she explained.

Local body builder Jeremy Lawson is set to compete at the southern Alberta Bodybuilding Championships being held at Red Deer College on June 11.
He is looking forward to the competition and has been seriously training for the past two years.
Training to compete in such an event takes a lot of work in the gym said Lawson and is a lifestyle devoted to making the body the best it can be.
Lawson spends two or three hours daily training in the gym, is coached and eats appropriately to achieve his goal.
He said being a body builder takes a great deal of dedication but it is the time he spends outside the gym that really counts.
This includes proper sleeping and sacrifi cing going out with friends as drinking is not an option.
“You have to sacrifi ce,” Lawson said. “If you want to do something like this you really have to put your head to the grind and get it done. It’s a lifestyle.”
“There’s too many weekend warriors and you can’t make progress doing that,” he added.
He makes these sacrifi ces because he said he wouldn’t progress otherwise. He wouldn’t gain muscles or lose fat.
“You would sort of just plateau yourself. You wouldn’t move forward,” Lawson said.
Lawson said he really enjoys weight training because he likes watching his body change.
He compares what he currently looks like to pictures from six months ago and said he doesn’t look like the same person.
“That’s really what does it for me,” Lawson said.He also really enjoys helping others out by sharing
his knowledge.He shares what he knows and his own experiences
about dieting and weight training with others to help them.
“If you look good you feel good, it’s a big mental thing too,” Lawson said. “If you’re really happy with yourself, you’re happy with everybody and with life in general. I like helping people if they ask.”
As far as Lawson’s diet goes, he eats strictly ground turkey, white rice, vegetables, oatmeal and eggs.
He also eats six or seven times a day as caloric intake dictates what the body is able to do.
Some may be surprised just how much food a bodybuilder must ingest in order to gain muscle.
“Most people couldn’t do it,” Lawson said. “You have to eat six to seven times a day and most people are only eating their breakfast, lunch and their supper.”
Eating six to seven times a day means Lawson is eat-ing every two hours and he said most people couldn’t do that.
He said they can’t get the food in and that’s a crucial part.
“Anybody can go to the gym and weight train. It’s the diet that is hard for everybody. Your diet is key to your results,” Lawson said.
After working out he has a protein shake as well.A misconception of weight training is in order to get
those big muscles you have to lift big weights.Lawson said this is completely untrue. Training has to
do with your form and getting a good contraction and stretch on the muscles.
“Getting blood in the muscles when training is way more benefi cial,” Lawson said. “It’s going to help you grow more than just picking up a heavy dumbbell and just trying to do as many reps as you can. Stretching and contracting the muscle is the key to growth.”
“You want to feel the muscle as you’re doing the weight,” he added. “If you’re not feeling the muscle while doing the weight you’re not benefi tting to the fullest.”
As far as making his muscles look full on stage Lawson explains that it is a combination of appropriate dehydration and carbs.
“You deplete yourself a couple days before the contest and you carb load,” he said. “When you’re putting the carbs in your body it fi lls you out. That’s what gives you the volume in the muscles.

Local athlete headed to Alberta Border Bowl for second seasonFormer Bears football player Ethan Galliford is
preparing to play at the Alberta Border Bowls on the Young Stars team this year.
This is his second year playing for the Alberta Border Bowls and he is excited to go again.
Galliford will head into his fourth season of football on the Lions team next year.
Galliford, 12 years old, is preparing for his dream of playing college or university football and hopes to make it to the NFL or CFL one day.
All of this is achievable with the Alberta Border Bowls being run by scouts.
To prepare Galliford shows great determination and focus while focusing on gaining strength.
“He does insanity every morning, goes for a run every evening and he eats healthy,” said his mother Tanya Dixon.
She said he is sure to eat large portions of fruits, vegetables and protein.
When playing on the Young Stars team, Galliford will practice for one weekend in Lacombe and then play one game.
He hopes to win the game as last year his team lost.During his time playing for the Bears last year
Galliford said he developed foundational skills such as perseverance.
During the Bear’s last game of the season, Galliford broke his femur. The break was due to an illegal hit from an opposing player that hit the side of his knee.
He sat out for a few minutes but headed back into
Alberta Border Bowls – Ethan Galliford, 12, will head to the Alberta Border Bowls to play football on the Young Stars team for his second year.

the game even though he was in pain.“We didn’t know it was broken at the time, he
just sat out for a few minutes and then fi nished the game,” Dixon said. “He played in pain. He’s very de-termined.”
Playing for the Alberta Border Bowls Galliford said he learns how to interact with other teammates from all over Alberta.
Dixon said her son is very respectful and going to the Alberta Border Bowls will only add to the skills he already has.
The team’s players will further develop their skills and learn further respect for the sport, school, work, their parents and the teammates.
Other than winning the game, Galliford hopes to make new friends as his mother said he made quite a few friends last year.
“He really likes going and making new friends, new teammates - he wants to go and have fun,” Dixon said.
She added she views her son as a strong focused kid who perseveres through anything.
“He tries to be a good leader and he shows that both on and off the fi eld and even at home,” she said. “He is very respectful, he takes everything serious-ly and is an all around great kid.”
Galliford and his team can be watched online at www.vbvsports.com on May 28.

MINNINGSBrian1955 - 2016Mr. Brian Henry Minnings of Sylvan Lake, Alberta, passed away suddenly, surrounded by his family on Sunday, March 27, 2016 at the age of 60 years. Brian’s passion was music; he had a love of playing the guitar, entertaining friends, family and anyone else who wanted to join in. He had a habit of having a different radio station playing in every room of the house. Brian excelled at being a grandparent to his granddaughters; they couldn’t have asked for better. We have all lost a core part of our lives. Red sweaters and Sunday dinners will never be the same. Brian will be missed by all that knew him.

THORENTONIrene Thorenton passed peacefully at Bethany Sylvan Lake, Alberta on her 89th birthday, March 16, 2016. Beloved mother of Anne (Ed) Thiessen, Nana of Brittany (Scott) MacKenzie, Dean (Cindy) Thiessen; and sister of Edna Wilson, Tweed, Ont. Born March 16, 1927 in Pittsburg Township, Ontario. she was the youngest daughter of John and Mary McMaster. She was predeceased by her brothers; Harold, Russell, Ryan and Glenn McMaster. Her secretarial skills throughout her early working years eventually landed her a job at the University of Guelph, Computer Science Dept., where she eventually took an early retirement and then moved to Alberta to be closer to her daughter and young family. She is remembered by many as being an avid sports fan of curling, baseball and football as well as an oudoorswoman enjoying camping, fi shing, hunting, horse back riding and ski-dooing, and even fl ying planes. In accordance with her wishes, a private family memorial will be held at a later date.

Alberta is modernizing renewal reminders — saving taxpayers $3 million a year.
When times are tough, we all need to make smart decisions to save money.
Starting April 1, 2016 the Alberta Government is saving taxpayers $3 million a year by ending mailed renewal reminders for vehicle registrations, drivers’ licenses and ID cards.
You can choose from a variety of free electronic reminders, mark your renewal dates on your calendar or set an alert on your smart phone or computer.
Sign up to receive a free electronic reminder at eservices.alberta.ca/notify or visit your local registry agent or AMA.

U-17 Wave headed to Provincials
Last weekend the U17 Wave were in Calgary at Rally Point for their third premiere, the one that will place them going into provincials. The team played solid all weekend. They went undefeated on the Saturday play-ing four games total, winning the very important cross over game. Then on Sunday they won the fi rst game but lost the following game that lead them to the bronze medal match against the SAVC team from Calgary. They won this game in three sets making it stressful for the parents.
Setting and right side play was done by Morgan and Reis, libero was played by Abby, the middles for the tournament were Ali, Amy and Taylor. Playing power over the weekend were Shae and Erin and Brock. The team had some amazing serves over the weekend, along with some powerful spikes. Each team member at some point made an incredible dig popping the ball up to the setter for them to set up the powers to kill the ball.
Coach Rick Boyes had this to say to his team, “We went into the premier with the goal of making top 3 and I’m very proud of you all. A coach can teach all the skills in the world but without the quality of character you athletes bring we could not have gotten this far.”
The team will now go into the U17 provincials in di-vision one, from division three in the U17-U18 league.
