Chinook’s Edge School Division to develop sexualorientation and gender identity policy

The Chinook’s Edge School Division is currently under-going conversations to draft administrative procedures to defi ne and outline pro-cedures to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and queer (LGBTQ) students, staff and families who may be undergoing concerns around sexual orientation and gender identity.

Recently family wellness workers and counsellors from the school division took part in a seminar with a leader ed-ucator from the University of Alberta, Dr. Kris Wells, as part of the Board’s commitment to support all LGBTQ persons in their schools.

Wanda Christensen, as-sociate superintendent of student services for Chinook’s Edge, explained Dr. Wells has visited the Chinook’s Edge in the past when they were cre-ating their creation of a ‘Safe and Caring Schools’ policy last year. She added Wells has done extensive research, advocacy and education in the LGBTQ community across the country. Christensen stated she was pleased Wells was able to share his research and discuss strategies for being as effective as possible in supporting LGBTQ students in the division’s schools as they go forward with the creation of their admin procedures.

“We felt that after devel-oping some strategies and implementing them last year that we still had more work to do in supporting our students when it comes to sexual ori-entation and gender identity,” explained Christensen. “After working with the Safe and Caring Schools committee to help the schools develop the Safe and Caring admin proce-dures it came to our attention

BY JENNA SWANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

that we should move forward in supporting our children and youth in this way,

“It was a fi rst step in bring-ing awareness and good solid research to the division and we will continue to work alongside him as we continue to build our admin procedure and implement it in the school division.”

On a provincial level, simi-lar conversations have been happening in other school divisions across Alberta fol-lowing a November 4th an-nouncement by the Minister of Education, David Eggen, stating all school boards in the province are expected to have policies which specifi -cally support LGBTQ students and staff.

While this may have come as a surprise to some school boards, Christensen said this has been a priority policy to Chinook’s Edge for some time.

“We had already been hav-ing these conversations before the Minister announced it would be mandatory. Around a year ago it became very clear to us as a division that we needed to move forward in supporting our youth in this matter,” she explained. “My fi rst experience with trans-gender youth came around 10 years ago while I was working in another division - they were in Gr. 2 and very young,”

“Over the years as I learned

more about the topic I realized we have a number of students in the division who might not be supported in the best ways possible so it was encouraged around a year ago that the board start to have these conversations.”

Chinook’s Edge stated they hope the policy creation will allow them to honour LGBTQ students and staff in the best ways possible and ensure school leaders are aware and have strategies in place to support them.

“Our hope is that by bring-ing awareness and education in and arming our staff with good solid strategies to sup-port them then everything from the language used to the environments we create to ensure we have safe places for youth are all some of the strategies we will be imple-menting,” said Christensen. “Above and beyond that it is really about open com-munication and continuing to enhance our inclusive environments so that our population of students ex-periencing struggles around sexual orientation and gender

identity would feel supported and know that we care for them, we support them and we value them.”

She added Chinook’s Edge has been receiving a great deal of positive feedback on the initiative thus far despite the sensitivity of the subject.

Among those praising the school division are principals of H.J. Cody High School, Dave Elwood, and Fox Run Middle School principal, Don Rattray.

Principal Elwood stated H.J. Cody wishes to support their students in the best way possible.

“The level of openness, inclusion and tolerance over the last 10 years has great-ly increased within many schools and school boards. Never did I think I would see school board adopting these policies let alone the province mandating them,” said Elwood. “We know we have groups of kids looking for identity in all ways, not just around gender and sexual orientation and we just want all of them to know that we are here to help in any way we can. We’ve always responded to the needs of our kids - it’s our job as a school to support all of our students and make them feel as safe as possible.”

“The drafted admin proce-dures will give schools the direction and support to do their jobs to the best of their abilities and help our students

as best we can. I really must commend the school board for learning about the needs of kids right beside us and using their collective to really make life better for kids.”

Principal Rattray stated in the past he feels the environ-ment of Fox Run School has always been one of inclusion very similar to H.J Cody, how-ever he feels the procedures being developed will make sure all of the school’s in all reaches of Chinook’s Edge will be on the same page.

“We need to support all students and make them feel safe and welcome,” said Rattray.

Chinook’s Edge expects the administrative procedure to be formalized within the next month.

Discussing correlations between vitamin D

and depression

As we watch the days get shorter, it forces us inside. For others, it can force us into things such as depres-sion.

The sun is our main source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that controls

Find out how getting your levels checked can help you

You are rotten without it

I love what I do, and sometimes - work is work.

I am fortunate enough to own my own business, work with amazing staff and I am thankful for that beyond measure. I get to work with amazing people, both staff and members. I get to create and man-

the expression of over 1000 different physiologi-cal processes in the body. That’s over 1,000 different functions controlled by vitamin D. It’s primarily synthesized by the skin after ultra violet B (UVB) irradiation.

Less sun in the winter, means less vitamin D - so in order to prevent depres-sion and other disorders it is important to intake more foods that contain vitamin D and/or supple-ment.

Foods that contain vi-tamin D include fish, egg yolk, cereals, milk, beef, liver and cheese. Mushrooms that have been out in the sun are also a great source of vita-min D. Ultimately, the best way to safely get your vita-min D is to eat it. However, too much can sometimes

be as bad as too little.It’s important to get

your levels checked often. As far as supplementa-tion goes, the National Institute of Medicine (NIM) set the tolerable upper in-take of vitamin D to 4000 International Units (UI). It’s also vital for strong bones and teeth. The only way the body can absorb calcium is through vita-min D. It helps boost the immune system, fi ghting away things like the com-mon cold and fl us. Low vi-tamin D can cause things such as: diabetes type 1, cancers, higher blood pres-sure, heart attacks, rheu-matoid arthritis, depres-sion and multiple sclero-sis. Make sure to get levels up to optimal levels and go to the doctor to get your blood tested.

Factors leading to not

getting enough vitamin D include sunscreens block-ing the amount being ab-sorbed, as we age the less we’re able to produce, for example; a 70-year-old will produce four times less than a 20-year-old. Another can be body fat - vitamin D is fat soluble, so the heavier you are the more vitamin D is being stored in your fat cells, preventing less getting into your bloodstream. In addition, the darker your skin complexion the less vitamin D is getting ab-sorbed.

During the winter months there is less sun-shine - if you live in the northern hemisphere you’re liking not getting enough vitamin d from the sunlight.

Possibly, one of the best benefi ts of vitamin D, is it

has shown to control the aging process. Telomeres are tiny caps at the end of a chromosome. They protect DNA from dam-age. Think of telomeres as being the tip of an end of a shoelace, they protect laces from fraying. As the telomeres protects against the chromosomes from getting shorter and dying. Every year they get shorter and shorter till they burn off and our cells die or go into a permanent state of arrest. You can reverse this, if you start getting proper vitamin D levels. They did a study on twins, one had ideal levels of vitamin D, and one was low. The one twin that was low, was biologically fi ve years older than the twin with optimal levels. So get those levels checked, and get your vitamin D.

age my destiny and help people every day. However, if you know a business owner, you know that it isn’t always sunshine and roses. If you work for someone else, which I still clearly remember, that too can be amazing, and again, is not always sunshine and roses either.

I vividly remember com-ing home once from a par-ticularly rough day. I came through the door and my wife asked me how my day was. I remember grumbling and going on about how brutal it was, and Hilary said, “You need to go for a run.” I started up about how I didn’t have time, that I had all this stuff to do and I wasn’t in the mood, and blah, blah, blah. She looked at me as only a wife of 21 years can do and told me again, that I REALLY needed to go for a run. I stopped talking, looked at her and knew

she was right.I grabbed my gear and

headed out the door. I only had time for a 30 minute run but I have to tell you something - I walked back in to the house a totally different man. My woes, troubles, concerns, and stress melted away with each step I took. I started out mad and frustrated, but as I ran, as the beauty of Sylvan Lake sunk in - the trees, the birds, the fi elds, the lake, the trails - perspective came back. As I got back to my breath, my body, my rhythms - I returned to my true self.

My smile walked through the house before I did, and my wife greeted me as I arrived.

“There’s my husband!” she said. She was totally right.

So many people tell me they do not have time to work out because of…. whatever reason. You

know what? That’s a load of crap.

Sorry… but it is. Nobody has time to work out. Nobody has time for any-thing. I don’t know about you, but I do not have a wallet full of time I can pull out and use. I have to manage my time, just like everyone else. I must choose to exercise because I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that fi tness cre-ates and gives more than it takes. Fitness gives my energy back to me after work has taken it. Fitness makes my blood pump, my hormones balance, my systems clear, my toxins sweat out, my intestines jostle, which helps me eliminate. I sleep better, I have more energy, I enjoy food more, life is just plain better. Period.

I took a year off racing recently and honestly, I was a mess. I was lost without my goals and my

schedule. I was grumpier and fell into worse habits like T.V. and eating junk.

I know that if fi tness isn’t your ‘thing’, that this might all sound alien to you. It might sound silly or odd or make no sense. I mean working out is hard right? It takes time right?

Yes, but understand fi t-ness is an investment that pays off again and again. Watching T.V. to try and forget your day will never, ever make your life better. Ever. Go for a walk, a run, a bike, a swim, a boot camp class, a dance, it doesn’t matter – something that makes your heart shine and your face light up.

You have to trust me here folks. I have been a trainer for 17 years and I can say for a fact that you are better when you work out. So go out there and have a great day!!!

Happy Training!Scott

MP Blaine Calkins writes open letterafter being sworn in earlier this month

Today I was offi cially sworn in as the Member of Parliament for the Federal Constituency of Red Deer – Lacombe. Even though this is not my fi rst swearing in cer-emony, I am still astounded by the amount of pride and emotion I feel for my Country

and the role that I play in ensuring that the voices of those I represent are heard in Government.

From a historical perspec-tive, October 19, 2015, was somewhat bittersweet. The Constituency of Wetaskiwin that I faithfully served for almost 10 years was no lon-ger. Divided as part of the re-drawn boundaries, this riding

BY BLAINE CALKINSMP RED DEER - LACOMBE

which had been around since Alberta joined Confederation became a piece of history, and I was the last Member of Parliament for that riding.

But now, I look for-ward to representing the Constituency of Red – Deer Lacombe as its fi rst Member

of Parliament. On October 19, 2015, 43,599 of the people in this riding put their trust in me to represent their inter-ests in Ottawa. I do not take this responsibility lightly. It is both an honour and privilege to be able to stand in the House of Commons knowing

that I am so well supported back home.

Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that my success is a result of countless volunteers who gave their time and talent to every aspect of my campaign. From the 11 year old who put

labels on envelopes to the 85 year old that stood in the polls on Election Day, every single person that spent time on my campaign contributed to its success and there are not enough words to express how grateful I am.

Thank you.

How does recycling impact your community?

It’s good for the environment, it re-uses materials rather than creates new ones, it reduces landfi lls— the list goes on and on.

But one major benefi t that people often overlook is the im-pact recycling programs can have on a community. Recycling programs contribute to the overall health and well-being of a community. Fewer landfi lls means better property values, as well as the knowledge that your community is actually working to mitigate global warming. Communities that actively recycle send the message that they really do care about the environment.

recycling builds a strong economy in terms of energy cost reduction, resources conservation, and creating jobs.

Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates 1 job. Landfi lling 10,000 tons of waste creates 6 jobs, recycling 10,000 tons of waste creates 36 jobs.

Combustion or incineration of our solid waste is effective and energy-generating, however it increases air pollution and there is a possibility of harmful chemicals that come from the waste contaminating our water supply.

Recycling is earth friendly. Recycling for each of us is a mat-ter of choice. Once we have made that choice to implement

all the steps of recycling in our daily lives and stick to that choice every single day - recycling becomes a daily habit. Every small contribution made to recycle and the initiative to protect our environment adds up to how our present society eventually shapes our earth’s future.

There is plenty that we can recycle but the paper, cardboard, tin cans, and plastic containers won’t recycle themselves. Imagine how much easier our lives would be if they actually did recycle themselves.

It’s up to you, me and our communities to make that conscious choice to recycle.

Recycling works best if everyone does their part in making an effort to recycle. If you or I make that decision and choose recycling, it shouldn’t be because it was mandated and we are required to do it. It should be because we chose to on our own free will, knowing that recycling is the right thing to do.

Community recycling programs help encourage people to - you guessed it - recycle. The easier it is for community members to recycle, the more likely they are to do so. Landfi lls are a primary contributor to the greenhouse gas output and decomposing garbage generates methane, which is about twenty times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. All the stuff we throw in landfi lls has a direct effect on global warming, which makes recycling sound like a pretty good idea.

Students keep quiet to fundraise for school in third world country

Two Grade 9 girls at H.J. Cody School are currently working to make educational change happen in a third world country.

Jaidra Russell and Brynne Takhar are working to raise $10,000 for a school to be built in a country such as India, Kenya or somewhere else in which education isn’t easily accessible.

Voiceless – H.J. Cody School Grade 9 student Gage Gottfried wore duct tape over his mouth Friday in support of the international We Are Silent day.

Silent Students – H.J. Cody School students kept silent to support the international We Are Silent day Friday. This included no texting, e-mailing or social media.

This school would give boys and girls an equal oppor-tunity to learn and be educated.

To kick start their fundraising goal they took advantage of the international We Are Silent day Friday, which is part of Free The Children. The girls were able to collect over $800 that day and are still continuing to fundraise and collect.

Some of the school’s students went 24 hours without communicating via talking, texting, gesturing, e-mailing or using social media and some even wore duct tape over their mouths to prove a point.

The lack of communication was a sign of protest to the voices who are silenced in some third world countries.

What has motivated these girls to carry out their fundraising goal is hearing inspirational speeches when they attended ‘We Day’, a part of the Free The Children campaign rececently held in Calgary at the Saddledome.

“We listened to them talk and they were super inspir-ing and we decided we were going to do our best,” Takhar said.

Hearing the motivational speakers talk the girls learned they can ‘be the change they want to see in the world’.

“We can be that difference,” Russell said. “We can be that generation that cleans up.”

Another reason why the girls are leading out this challenge is because of the inspirational story of Malala Yousafzai, a girl who survived an assassination attempt because she spoke out on girls’ rights.

Both girls said that even at the age of 14-years-old, they understand they too could make a difference just like Malala did.

“Girls deserve to have an education just as much as boys do,” Takhar said. “If we can build a school that will defi nitely help.”

“All it takes is one idea and this is proof,” Russell added. “If one school can build another school that’s exactly what we’re going to do. It’s not impossible and if we have the option to help why not take that option?”

The goal of raising $10,000 by June isn’t an unrealistic goal as their hearts and minds are truly in it and they will continue to fundraise throughout the year.

They believe they have the power to create change and make a difference in the world.

“It might be a bit diffi cult but it’s for a good cause,” Takhar said.

The girls said that one mind and one idea shared with another can make a whole group of amazing things happen.

This is why they introduced the idea to their whole school Monday and have done well at getting many stu-

dents involved.“We’ve done class announcements and we’re going to

keep doing it,” Takhar said. “We told them to be visual about it to keep duct tape over their mouths or wear a shirt. If they are visual about it this adds to the number of people doing it and the more people doing it the big-ger impact it will have.”

The plan is to keep fundraising until they raise their goal amount and then they will donate the money.

Takhar said the biggest thing she has learned so far from getting involved with this project is that one idea and one thought can really add up to something that will actually change the world.

“If you have an idea and you make a plan and you go for it and you work hard you can actually do it,” she said.

The coolest thing about this initiative is seeing people talk in the hallway about it as Takhar said some people think they are crazy because they are doing it for a full 24 hours.

Russell said people are surprised because they think that not talking is hard.

“The stereotypical 14-year-old does not do things like this but we are,” Takhar added.

If you wish to help the girls get to their fundraising goal - please call the H.J. Cody School at 403-887-2412.

Grad dress and suit lending program in search of storage space

H.J. Cody School’s educa-tional assistant Mandi-Jo Hyatt started the school’s prom dress lending pro-gram last year and has now collected 20 to 30 dresses available for students in Sylvan Lake and Eckville.

These dresses are prom attire, many of them donat-ed by the school’s former students.

Hyatt also has around a handful of suits that can be lent out to gentlemen for prom.

With everything that has been donated, Hyatt now fi nds herself in the position of looking for space to store all the attire.

“There have been an over-

whelming amount of dona-tions and we’ve run out of space,” Hyatt said. “If there was someone in the com-munity who could offer up some space to store them that would be amazing.”

The type of space she would need is somewhere to neatly hang everything she has with the space only needing to be accessed a couple times a year.

The gowns and suites are currently hanging neatly in her basement right now but are consuming space.

The sizes of the dresses range from two to around 24 and are of current fash-ion.

Hyatt said she would be willing to accept more dresses even with the va-riety she already has.

“If people have a fancy prom dress within the last year or two that they would be willing to donate we would be open to accepting it,” Hyatt said. “We have built a good inventory for students if they need it.”

Students wanting to bor-row a dress can contact Hyatt or Jas Payne at the school and would be helped with fi nding something suitable to wear.

The dresses and suites are on a borrowing basis with the expectation that the attire comes back in the lent-out state.

The student is generally responsible for having what they have borrowed dry cleaned, but Hyatt said if this poses an issue other arrangements can be made.

“We want to keep a collec-tion for students to contin-ue using,” Hyatt said. “We prefer if the students return what they have borrowed so we can continue to help other students down the line.”

Hyatt said she has heard that some students are spending anywhere from $500 to $1,000 on a prom dress.

Then there is the added cost of makeup, hair, shoes or anything else that goes along with looking great for grad.

This is why Hyatt wants students and families to know that borrowing an in-style dress in an option and the program is there to support them.

“If they feel they need

help in that area and to relieve some of the pressure we offer possible options - that’s what we try to do,” Hyatt said.

She said she has spoken to some girls already and they have thanked her for the option of borrowing a dress as the idea helps them to feel a bit more relaxed.

The program will also be helping gentlemen out with a suit for prom.

Hyatt said even if she doesn’t have the right size for a gentleman she will still do her best to fi nd something appropriate for the student to wear.

“If boys need help all they have to do is come and ask me and I will do what I can to reach out and help them

fi nd what they need,” Hyatt said.

She said the main thing is to let the community and students know that this op-tion is available and all in-teractions will be discreet.

“The student or the fam-ily can contact me at the high school,” Hyatt said. “Then we talk about what they need.”

The program is open to helping not only students in Sylvan Lake but also the town’s surrounding area such as Benalto and Eckville.

Contact Mandi-Jo Hyatt for storage options or for borrowing prom attire at the H.J. Cody School 403-887- 2412.

Lakers gathering to cook healthy meals in a ‘Collective Kitchen’

The Sylvan Lake Collective Kitchen offers a program where parents meet once a month to cook four different dishes at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre kitchen.

This is where recipes are shared, meals are made and parents take home what they have made.

New community mem-bers are welcome to par-ticipate in the cooking storms. The groups meet the fi rst Wednesday of every month from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with a sec-ond group meeting the following fi rst Thursday of every month from 6 p.m. to 8:30p.m.

The same food is made in both of these sessions, but are cooked on differ-ent days.

The people that come during the day time are usually the stay at home moms and come because there is child care provid-ed.

Then on Thursday night many of the working

moms tend to come and cook as they are the ones who like to have the extra meals.

A specialty kitchen is also offered the third Thursday of every months from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This is where a large amount of one dish is made.

The program has been running for over 20 years and Donna Hughes, the program’s co-ordinator and facilitator has been running the program for around eight of those years.

She said the idea behind these group meetings is to give the community the chance to cook healthy meals and not just go and eat at McDonalds or Taco Time.

“It’s offering alternative healthier meals and to trying to keep them away from the fast food places,” Hughes said.

The four dishes are based on a family of four people and include a soup, a casserole, a muffi n or cookies and a meat dish.

“You come for two hours but in two hours you take

home the equivalency of eight hours of cooking because everybody goes off into groups and each group does one of those dishes but at the end you get to take one of every dish,” Hughes said.

Most of the dishes are packaged in containers making them easy to store.

Then when they are needed they can be put into the oven and be ready for dinner.

“Most of my moms are busy and they work so they are trying to fi nd that little extra time to cook that extra food,” Hughes said.

This fi ts the original slo-gan which was ‘what’s for dinner mom?’ The idea is that this program can help people prepare a few meals or dishes that will help them out when they are busy.

“You don’t necessarily always have time to cook,” Hughes said.

The program is also there to help people learn how to cook and Hughes said this could be something as simple as someone learn-

ing how to read a recipe or converting measurements.

“Most of the dishes are family friendly,” Hughes said. “We try to pick stuff we know kids will eat. It’s not too weird looking and not a lot of spices.”

The dishes don’t have too many spices because Hughes said if they did children won’t eat it. Even the onions are chopped up into tiny little pieces.

If people bring recipes that they want to share they must know how the food turns out before hand.

“It’s not just a ‘lets try this’,” Hughes said. “They have to at least have tried it and made it and know that it multiplies.”

Knowing that a recipe can multiply is an im-portant aspect. When the group is cooking they have to cook with ingre-dients that can multiply and Hughes said not every spice is meant to double or triple.

“If you have made a dish at home you probably know it and have perfect-ed it,” Hughes said.


Hughes has carried on the Colletive Kitchen pro-gram because she said it is nice to have different meals and everyone has those days where they don’t want to cook.

This is when it’s nice to open the freezer and pull out something that justs need to be heated up.

But it also gives the op-portunity for people to eat

something different.“It gives moms and peo-

ple an opportunity to try foods they may not nor-mally try because a lot of people wouldn’t go out of their way to make it,” Hughes said.

For more information contact Donna Hughes at 403-598-7844.

Children with food allergies

About one in 13 kids have a food allergy. An allergic reac-tion occurs when the body’s immune system overacts to a food protein. The most common food allergens are: peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, soy, seafood, wheat, eggs, milk, mustard and sulphites. Symptoms of allergic reactions can be different for everyone and may occur within minutes or hours. The most common symptoms of allergies are:

Flushed or pale face, hives, rash, itchy skinSwelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat or tongueCoughing, wheezing or shortness of breathStomach pain, diarrhea, vomitingFeeling anxious, weak, dizzy or faintSevere allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to food can be life

threatening and occur quickly and without warning. These reactions can be treated with an epinephrine auto injector; an EpiPen®. The only way to prevent allergic reactions is to avoid contact with the foods or ingredients that cause them.

Food allergies are a serious medical condition, not a choice. Help prevent exposure to allergens by following your school’s guidelines for food allergies. Take time to explain food allergies to your child and encourage them to learn about allergies that their classmates may have. If you are unsure of what to do, talk to the other child’s parents or teacher. Students, parents, teachers and other staff all have an important role in keeping students safe, healthy and happy.

Friends of Bethany raise giving tree in support of seniors

For the fi fth consecutive year a Christmas tree in support of seniors at the Bethany Care Centre has arisen at Shopper’s Drug Mart in downtown Sylvan Lake.

The Yuletide tradition sees a volunteer group known as Friends of Bethany erecting a tree fi lled full of 61 tags with the wishlists of seniors attached to them.

Connie Cartwright, a volun-teer involved with the tree, explained the idea behind the tree came a number of years ago following cuts to the Centre’s funding forcing them to no longer be able to purchase presents for all res-idents to open on Christmas morning.

That fateful year Bethany took to the community to ask for support and the time that has passed since has blown the volunteers away according to Cartwright.

“Last year the tags went quickly - every year they seem to go faster and faster because I think the program is starting to get more esta-bilished,” said Cartwright.

“People quite enjoy pur-chasing the gifts for seniors because they know they


appreciate the gifts,”“It’s something different

than other Christmas time gift programs the joy it

brings is immeasurable - it really allows people to bring back the Christmas spirit in their lives - I’ve heard so

many people say they don’t have grandparents to buy for anymore so it has really touched home for people in that sense.”

The program asks shoppers to take a tag off the tree which contains the wishlist of a resident. Often times the items are as simple as new socks, magazines, a warm vest to wear or even new books to read.

“There are some resi-dents at Bethany who really just don’t have a tonne of family around,” explained

Cartwright. “Others have lots but aren’t able to go and see them, so we really just want to make sure everyone has a gift to open alongside one another on Christmas morning.”

“We have just truly been overwhelmed by the response from the community year after year - to watch this program grow over the years has just been amazing and we truly thank Sylvan Lake for making this program possible.”

“The need is continued and

it just makes you feel good to put a present under the tree of someone who wouldn’t get one otherwise.”

Friends of Bethany ask those wishing to purchase a gift for a resident and ‘sponsor a grandparent’ to stop by Shopper’s Drug Mart and grab a tag off of the tree. Gifts may either be returned to Shopper’s Drug Mart along with the tag or ideally dropped off at Bethany itself along with the tag also.

H.J. Cody French immersion students return from exchange in Quebec

16 Students of H.J. Cody’s French immersion who par-ticipated in an exchange to St. Tite, Quebec recently returned from what their teacher is calling the French learning experience of a lifetime.

During their stay in Quebec they visited Quebec City, Montreal as well as a number

of other locations around their host community, St. Tite.

“It was an amazing trip and we really forged a friend-ship with the St. Tite school and couldn’t be happier to host them in April,” said Kelsey Wilson, exchange co-ordinator and French teacher at H.J. Cody. “We packed so much into that one week and it was a really awesome trip.”

Students had the chance to

experience a day in a French school, visit parliament hill, old town Quebec, museums of Montreal and took part in a number of tours through-out the bigger centres.

Wilson stated the town they lived in was 90% French speaking and students learned a great deal with the French speaking skills while there.

We want to help. That’s why we’re proposing changes to laws that keep farm

and ranch workers safe and ensure they’re treated fairly.

• Ensuring farm and ranch accidents can be properly investigated so they

can be prevented.

• Making sure farm and ranch workers can still support their families if they’re

injured on the job.

• Protecting farm and ranch owners against the impact of workplace injuries

and illnesses.

If approved, laws that govern workplace safety and Workers’ Compensation

Board insurance coverage would apply to farm and ranch workers as of

January 1, 2016.

We also want your views on how we can work with employers to make lives

better for farm and ranch workers. For example:

• How should hours of work for farms and ranches be regulated?

• How should vacation leave work on farms and ranches?

• How do we make these changes while protecting family farms and ranches?

A town hall session will be held Tuesday, December 1 from 1:00-4:00 pm:

Red Deer College, 100 College Blvd

This event is now full.

Additional Town Hall dates and locations are being added.

Please see work.alberta.ca/farmandranch for the latest information or to

take part in an online survey.

SATISFACTION SURVEY RESULTS REVIEWED BY COUNCIL

The 2015 Community Satisfaction Survey was presented to Council on Monday evening. The Town hired Forum Research to conduct this year’s survey to measure public satisfac-tion with services offered by the Town. 404 residents of Sylvan Lake were sur-veyed with 92% of respon-dents stating they felt that quality of life in Sylvan Lake was either good or very good.

84% said they were either satisfi ed or very satisfi ed with the Town’s services. 69% said they felt they receive fairly good or good value for their tax dol-lar. Respondents stated in terms in service delivery they were happiest with cemeteries, community special events, the public library, parks, trails and playgrounds as well as on-line services. Interesting to note was that close to half of respondents were not at all familiar with the Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) as an organization, however the majority of those who did know about it were satisfi ed with the services they offered including indi-vidual and family services, senior support and youth services.

Respondents to the sur-vey noted they felt the number one issue that should be addressed by Council should be urgent care and/or access to im-proved health care ser-vices. In addition, they felt the most important issues in the coming years for the Town to address should be roads, sidewalks, recre-ational facilities and water infrastructure/access.

“The results were very good and we are happy with what we see,” Joanne Gaudet, communications offi cer for the Town, told Council.

RESULTS OF DOWNTOWN R E V I T A L I Z A T I O N MEETING HEARD BY COUNCIL

Council heard from eco-nomic development offi cer, Vicki Kurz, on Monday eve-


ning in which she reported her fi ndings from a fol-low up meeting with busi-ness and property owners within the downtown area after they had watched a ‘20 Ingredients for an Outstanding Downtown’ video series on November 3rd.

Kurz asked attendees at the meeting to answer a variety of questions based on the ‘ingredients’ heard in the video series. The purpose of the questions and the video series was to create and motivate mo-mentum in the downtown area and encourage future dialogue between proper-ty and business owners. In addition, Kurz want-ed to determind if there was enough interest from all parties to establish a steering committee for the purpose of developing a ‘community brand’ and a subsequent Development & Marketing Action Plan.

Mayor Sean McIntyre stated he felt it was a great exercise for citizens and the Town. Councillor Plante added he was happy with Kurz curating the conver-sation between all parties.

“Everyone really appreci-ated the fact they felt like they were gathering infor-mation we were going to be doing something with,” said Plante. “I really do feel like you [Kurz] have gained their [business and proper-ty owners] confi dence that this time around we aren’t just going through the mo-tions.”

RED DEER COUNTY CONTRIBUTES $1.4 MILLION TO NEXSOURCE CENTRE

Mayor Sean McIntyre in-formed Council he would be visiting a Red Deer County Council meeting on Tuesday morning where he would hear their delib-eration on a contribution to the NexSource Centre. During a follow up phone call with Mayor McIntyre following his meeting with Red Deer County, he in-formed Sylvan Lake News that they would be con-tributing $1,418,025 to the NexSource Centre.

Tyler Harke, corporate communications manager for Red Deer County stated the funding would be pro-vided in the full amount requested by the Town of Sylvan Lake.

“There was a request made for $1.4 million for the NexSource Centre and today that was approved by Council unanimously,” said Harke. “It was passed unanimously and will be earmarked in the 2016/2017 budgets.”

Mayor McIntyre was pleased with the results and thanks them a great deal for the contribution, adding around 12,000 res-idents of Red Deer County use the Sylvan Lake facil-ities.

“We are grateful to have a strong partnership with Red Deer County and their contribution is evidence of a collaborative attitude in Red Deer County and the

regional strength that is achieved through coopera-tion between neighbours,” said McIntyre. “As mayor and on behalf of Council I am pleased to say we are grateful for the operating and capital partnership with Red Deer Country and their contribution to recreation in Sylvan Lake that allows for the con-struction of new facilities like the NexSource Centre and continues to empower Red Deer County residents to access Sylvan Lake rec-reation amenities as local residents.”

AQUATIC CENTRE UPGRADES DESIGN AWARDED TO STANTEC

Council motioned during the regular meet-ing of Council on Monday that Stantec Engineering Consulting out of Red Deer would be awarded the con-tact for the design of the upgrades. Council allotted $250,000 to the company for the design.

Director of Public Works, Dave Brand stated Stantec was a large company with extensive experience in

architectural design and was pleased to see their estimate was within the budget. He told Council during the building audit estimated design fees to be around $330,000 with Stantec quoting the town $198,000. Brand asked the Town to allot $250,000 to allow for contingencies going forward.

“A key note for Council’s awareness is that the team at Stantec is currently working on the Cochrane aquatic centre,” said Brand to Council. “They have a good working history and Cochrane stated they’ve had a good working ex-perience with Stantec so that gave us a very solid comfort level.”

Local funeral home offering candle light service for

Christmas seasonThe Sylvan Lake Funeral Home invites

the community to a Candlelight Service of Remembrance Dec. 13 at 2 p.m.

This is where community members will gather to light a candle and remember a loved one who has passed away.

The service is held at Christmas time to help families grieve the loss of a loved one through the holiday season said fu-neral attendant John Flinn.

“It’s to reach out and help them through the tough times in December and around Christmas time and the holidays,” he said.

He added Christmas is a diffi cult time of year for families who have experienced losing a loved one.

Flinn said when people in attendance light a candle it helps them to remember the fun times they had with family and friends.

“It brings them back together to re-member the loved ones,” he said. “It helps families out.”

He said it helps people close a chapter and possibly open up a new one in their lives.

To honour and remember those who have passed, the funeral home sets up a screen with the list of the names of the loved one’s who have passed way.

There is also special music playing, meant to help people through their mourning.

The difference between this service and a funeral is at a funeral everybody is dressed up, but this candle light service it is more relaxed with more of a Christmas theme.

Flinn describes the overall atmosphere of the chapel during this service as being a feeling of love.

Having lost a family member himself, he came to the service previously and said it always feels nice and warm.

“I came here and it’s relaxed and I saw my aunt’s name,” Flinn said. “It’s really nice, warm and welcoming and no pres-sure. It’s just to come here and be with other people that lost their loved ones.”

There is roughly 60 people that attend the service, but Flinn said the attendance depends on the weather. He said many people will show up if the weather is good, but attendance may be lacking if the weather is too cold.

Flinn said he has heard a lot of positive feedback from people who have attended the service and said there are a lot of families who keep coming year after year.

After the service attendees are invit-ed next door to a fellowship with cof-fee and other treats at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church next door.

Grade 5 students learningto be leaders

The Grade 5 students at École Mother Teresa School are learning how to be lead-ers and mentors to younger children.

They are now working through the Peer Leadership for Active Youth (P.L.A.Y.) training, where they learn many skills such as con-fl ict resolution and how to include everyone in social games such as when they

are on the playground.P.L.A.Y. is being taught

to the Grade 5 students because there are strong leaders in that grade who can help mentor young-er children said one of the school’s counsellors, Heather Weaver.

She said the training in-cludes how they can be good leaders, confl ict resolution skills and what games they can play that include all children who want to play.

wrapped up in their own play and there are others who don’t have a group of friends to play with,” Weaver said. “We kind of forget about them so we are bringing awareness.”

She said the students learn what the different types of confl ict are, how to be a peacemaker and the different scenarios they may

fi nd themselves in.The students are catching

on to this education and what their responsibilities will be as Weaver said they are willing to step up and take on a leadership role.

The students are show-ing signs of being mature enough to handle leader-ship responsibilities as they participate in the activities

that help teach them who to be and what to do.

“They aren’t looking at anything negatively,” Weaver said. “Some of them have siblings that are younger too and they know confl icts can occur really easily but they want to be part of the solution.”

She said the students are excited to be learning more

because they are looking forward to others coming up to them and Weaver said this is a good thing in this age group.

“It’s a good opportunity to let everyone know to feel safe and happy in the school community,” she said.

It was a full house of happy smil-ing faces at the community centre on Friday afternoon thanks to a funfi lled International Child Day event hosted by the Lakeview Parent Link Centre.

The event saw children playing on bouncy castles, having their faces paint-ed, participating in group story times, having ‘tea time’ with cupcakes and a variety of other fun activities.

Giselle Campbell with Lakeview Parent Link explained they wanted the day to be one where ‘kids could just be kids’

“We wanted to celebrate the value of

children and recognize children are our future,” said Campbell. “At Parentlink we always want children to know they are important to society and in our lives - they really are our futures.”

“We just wanted them to have a fun fi lled day that was free of charge.”

In the few short months Parentlink has been open for, the centre has become a staple for many families said Campbell adding they are always bustling with parents and children looking for fun ac-tivities and information.

“We are always creating different pro-grams and we just really encourage ev-eryone to come check it out,” she said.

Arashi-Do Sylvan Lake students

compete and win in Red Deer

Recently a number of Arashi-Do do students traveled to Red Deer and competed at the annual Heroe’s Open Martial Arts Tournament. This annual tournament is one of the largest in Alberta. With 190 divisions and over 350 competitors, this tourna-ment has some amazing competition every year.

Students from all disci-plines competed at this event. Karate, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu jitsu were all represented, as well as ages starting from fi ve and going up to the over thirty fi ve year old division.

Simon Doucette start-ed off the morning with Karate. Competing in the four and fi ve-year-old ad-vance division he walked away with a gold and a silver medal. His brother, James was next in the 7-8 year old division. James, Being in the advanced division as well, walked away with a bronze medal.

Later in the day with Karate, Joey Spiller com-peted in the teen colored Belt Advanced division, after some touch competi-tion, and some picture per-fect punches, he walked away with two golds.

Also, Megan Cote com-peted in the Adult Karate Beginner Division. This being her fi rst large tour-

nament competed well and ended up taking two silver medals.

Up next was the adult Muay Thai division. In the beginner division two students from Arashi-Do Sylvan Lake, Tami Shuit and Joyce Wilde met in the fi nals with Tami taking the gold. Manon Alvares com-peted in the Teen division, taking a Silver Medal as well. Eno Wade competed in the Adult Muay Thai di-vision, taking a Gold medal in the Beginner Division, and did not place in the Intermediate division.

Lastly, the Brazilian Jiu jitsu competitors were up. Cruz Racz and Lincoln Cai competed in the 4-6 year old Brazilian Jiu jitsu com-petition. Meeting in the fi -nals, in a extremely close match which was decided by referee’s decision, Cruz took the gold and Lincoln took the silver. Lincoln continued in the next di-vision while Cruz did not, and unfortunately did not place.

TK Adeleke competed for Arashi-Do Sylvan Lake in the Masters (Aged 35+) division, and took the gold medal. When asked about his performance, he replied, “I got gold, but I didn’t get the submission [Finishing move, instead winning on points]”.

He then took two silvers in the Adult Divisions af-terwards, losing one gold

to an extremely close match in the last seconds of overtime.

There were some addi-tional competitors who were there whose results were not known at press time.

Renshi Ken Sumner, who recently received his 3rd degree in Karate and Head Instructor of Arashi-Do Sylvan Lake said about his students competing, “I’m extremely proud of all that competed at this event. They went out, and put themselves in a situation where they weren’t’ sure what was going to hap-pen, and performed amaz-ingly. Their martial arts skills will improve from this experience, as well as their confi dence as people, translating to all other as-pects of their lives.”

Renshi Ken Sumner, continues to teach Karate, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu in Sylvan Lake. All ages are welcome to join and are welcomed. The School can be reached at 587-400-9831.

SPORTSSPORTSLakers senior girls and boys volleyball

teams qualify for provincials

The Lakers senior girls and boys vol-leyball teams from H.J. Cody High School qualifi ed for provincials after playing in zones last weekend.

This is a real milestone for the players on both teams and for the whole school as this is a fi rst for both teams going to provincials in the same year.

The boys were completely undefeated and won gold, sending them straight to the provincials.

Losing to Ponoka in the fi nals, the girls received silver but are nonetheless going to provincials.

Both teams were ecstatic to qualify for the provincials and traveled to their dif-ferent destinations Wednesday.

The girls provincials are held in Bonnyville with the boys held in Grande Prairie.

Making it to provincials is something both teams worked extremely hard for and were two teams who deserve to

move up to compete.Even though the girls went to the pro-

vincials, head coach Jason Chatwood said he thought they were a little disap-pointed that they won silver.

He added the semi-fi nal game against Wetaskiwin was very exciting and an awesome accomplishment.

“I think they were a little disappointed but in the end the chance to go to pro-vincials is awesome,” Chatwood said. “They are excited.”

What makes qualifying for provincials even better is how the girls are a young team with six Grade 10s, two Grade 11s and four Grade 12s.

With this young team Chatwood said he thinks the girls surprised the other teams by doing so well having been a fairly new team and only having two returning players from last year.

“It’s a big mix,” Chatwood said. “At the start of the year I didn’t really know what to expect but they have improved so much and the hard work has been outstanding.”

But even with this diversity among the girls, volleyball is something they all love and have in common.

“When they are at practice they are close and they work really hard,” Chatwood said.

As head coach Chatwood said going to provincials shows that all the team’s hard work, time and effort had paid off.

He said it’s good to see the girls accom-plish their goal of going to provincials, as this was very important for them to do.

“(It was a) big thing at the start of the year to make provincials,” Chatwood said.

He also commented on how it was a cool to see the boys and the girls cheer-ing each other on and supporting each other during their games.

The boys had also achieved their four year goal by making it to the provincials by their graduating year.

They were the fi rst to start the vol-leyball team when they were in Grade 9, and they have proven themselves in

heading straight to provincials.The boys head coach Wayne Halliday

said they had a mission of winning at the start of the tournament and they weren’t going to be denied of that.

“Everybody stepped up and played very well,” he said. “We eliminated just about all of our errors and we stayed calm when things went against us.”

He said the boys didn’t panic or get fl ustered as they know what they need-ed to do and were committed to win-ning.

“It was a huge team effort and every-one stepped up very well,” Halliday said.

But he also said how playing at home was huge for the team this year. The team also appreciated the crowds of stu-dents, teachers, family and community members that showed up to cheer both the Lakers’ teams on.

“We’re exited about going to provin-cials,” Halliday said. “It’s something we’ve never experienced before and were looking forward to it.”

Rosene awarded Edmonton Huskies Rookie of the Year

Sylvan Lake’s very own former Lakers football play-er Landon Rosene recently completed his fi rst year of junior football for the Edmonton Huskies and was recognized for Rookie of the Year for 2015.

As Huskies player num-ber 26 and a running back, Rosene’s playing abilities were recognized by the other players and his head coach Iain MacLean during practices when he proved his aggressive moves.

Rosene said he didn’t know he would be award-ed Rookie of the Year 2015 but said it was his goal all season.

“I was pretty excited to be noticed by the whole team,” Rosene said. “I wanted to prove myself.”

Being a smaller player Rosene doesn’t look big in his football gear and people may presume he is disad-vantaged at fi ve feet and six inches and 150 pounds, when the average player is around six feet tall. However, this is not the case as he is an aggressive player.

He wiped out any pre-sumptions about his playing abilities and was one of the new guys who saw a solid amount of game time even though new players com-monly sit and observe the more experienced players.

“I made myself known on the fi eld and people knew me after that,” Rosene said. “People didn’t expect me to lower my head, lean into them when I was getting hit. I would put my shoulder into them. It hurts more to be the nail than the hammer.”

“Aggression is a huge thing in football, if you’re not aggressive you won’t go anywhere,” he added.

With showing aggression on the fi eld and making strong plays, Rosene said being awarded Rookie of the Year served as affi rmation.

“It tells me I’m not out of my league in being smaller and playing with older guys,” Rosene said.

The season started in July and fi nished in October and Rosene admits he felt a bit nervous being a new player on a bigger roster of around 75-80 players than his pre-vious Lakers roster which had 38 players.

“It’s a higher level,” Rosene said. “Everyone is bigger, it’s faster and I had to learn quickly.”

The difference between playing high school football


Rookie Of The Year – Former Lakers football player Landon Rosene recently completed his fi rst football season for the Edmonton Huskies and was awarded Rookie of the Year 2015. Jasmine O’Halloran–Han/Sylvan Lake News

and junior football he said is anyone can basically play for the Lakers as long as they have some decent athleticism, but after high school, it’s a lot higher level. It’s all guys who are really committed to football.

Rosene said he is happy playing for the Huskies and plans on returning next season to play football again as a running back. In the meantime he will keep up his athleticism by hitting the gym to maintain his muscle strength and will also try to fi nd employment.

Rosene describes the Huskies team atmosphere as a brotherhood with a family dynamic as he has the opportunity of getting to know his teammates over the next few years.

Rosene also commented on how his head coach was encouraging, treated him like a friend and made him feel like he wanted to be on the team.

“He gave me the impres-sion like he knew where I was coming from and how I played,” Rosene said.

Graduating from H.J. Cody High School last year Rosene said he misses being on the Lakers team and working

with head coach Jeremy Braitenback, but is happy being on the Huskies team.

BROWNDorisApr. 22, 1922 - Nov. 13, 2015It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dearly loved mother and grandmother, Doris Lavonne Brown (Kirkham). Doris passed peacefully in the early hours of November 13, 2015 surrounded by her family.Doris was born in Innisfail in 1922. As a young woman, she owned and operated “The Quality Shoppe” in Red Deer until her marriage to Robert (Bob) Brown (1919-2009) on June 29, 1949. They soon moved to Sylvan Lake and purchased the Balmoral Service Station and Tea Room, eventually operating a coin wash as well, until 1974. Doris then worked part time at Cobbs’ Clothing in Sylvan Lake for several years.Doris was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, and touched many lives in her 93 years. Doris and Bob enjoyed camping in the Rocky Mountains, and she was very interested in the weather, recording it each day in her weather notebook. She baked some of the best apple pies in Sylvan Lake, and loved to host her family for turkey dinners.Her love, compassion and humour will be deeply missed by her three daughters, Wendy Smith, Julie Bender and Denise Henkel, and her six grandchildren, Janine Moir, Kelsey Bache, Cody Moir, Cale Henkel, Jessica Dendy and Curtis Bender. Doris also found joy with her three great- grandchildren, Taylor, Hunter, and Cassie.A memorial service to celebrate Doris’s life was held on Thursday, November 19, at 1:30 pm at the Sylvan Lake Funeral Home, 5019 47A Avenue, Sylvan Lake, Alberta.Condolences to the family can be made by visiting www.sylvanlakefuneralhome.ca
