The smooth, sultry voice of Cheryl Fisher, local jazz vocalist and internationally renowned recording artist, is back in a big way this Friday with the release of her sixth studio album, titled Quietly There.

Having grown up in Sylvan Lake, graduating from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Education and the University of Miami with a Masters in Jazz Vocal Performance, Fisher is well known in the international jazz community.

Her latest soothing sere-nade is sure to leave listen-ers swooning over a softer side of Fisher she so seldom shows in the studio. Quietly There is a collection of songs carefully selected by Fisher and arranged in a way that will truly move you.

The album is the true soundtrack to a snowy win-ter’s night - one made to fi ll the silence as you are bundled in front of a fi re, with a glass of wine and a loved one.

Although she has been compiling the songs for a number of years, Fisher explained the album took a little over a year from start to fi nish to fall together. No

stranger to the recording stu-dio herself, Fisher added her experience recording Quietly There was unlike any before.

“I’ve never had the ex-perience of things falling together in exactly the right time, exactly the right place, with exactly the right play-ers, the right producer and in the right studio, in Calgary I might add– everything came together in a really sort of magical way,” explained Fisher.

She detailed how a long time friend and fellow musi-cian, John Stowell had been doing what she calls ‘poking’ at her to get back in the studio, but she wasn’t ready to travel internationally to record another album as she had done most of her previous work.

“I’m always fl ying some where else to record. Most of my recordings have been done in Portland or Miama,” she said. “Yet when you’re in a recording situation, ideally you want to be relaxed and on home turf, although before Quietly There I had never really gotten to do it that way.”

When she found out Stowell was heading north and bringing his trio, Scene, with him she knew the time was right and she jumped on the opportunity.

Cheryl Fisher returns with sixth studio album

Quietly There set for release on Friday

“It’s tough because he’s down in Portland, his trio lives in Seattle and it’s diffi cult to get everyone together,” added Fisher. “But not this time - it was very synchronistic. The studio was available, the produc-er was available and even though I had never met any of these gentlemen – which is a very crazy way to record by the way – I knew that if they were John’s trio I would love them.

“We fast became family

in the studio and the music that came out of that session is so beautiful, so sponta-neous, so heartfelt – I’m very proud of this album.”

The album included Cheryl Fisher – vocals, Eric

Allison – woodwinds, John Toomey – piano, keyboards, John Stowell – guitars, Jeff Johnson – bass, Burnis Stubbs – percussion, Bob Tildesley – trumpet & fl ugel-horn and was produced by

Paul Johnston.Quietly There, Cheryl

Fisher’s sixth studio is available online at www.cherylfi sher.com or this Friday via iTunes.

He doesn’t need the coverage but he knows how to wrangle it in.

On May 31 at a press conference at Trump Tower, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took another jab at the press, an act resulting from the alleged unfair coverage on his charitable donations to American veterans.

The rant against the Fifth Estate was Mr. Trump’s latest attack against an American media market that he claims, in a conference call covered by Matthew Boyle, to be “so dis-honest”, and doesn’t “cover certain people accurately.”

These comments come after sever-al months of questionable behaviour towards reporters, most notably when he suggested last August that Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her…whatever”. This remark came after Kelly questioned Trump about his previous remarks towards women which included referring to them “fat pigs, dogs,

slobs and disgusting animals.”

Setting aside Trump’s absolute distaste for anything not rich, white and male – his ongoing repulsion towards any press member questioning him is equally disturb-ing. Especially when he is being presented with researched facts and quotes that have actually been spoken from his mouth.

Real journalism is not supposed to be a politician-reporter team-up to swill out propaganda. It is not supposed to be an agreement on access to public offi cials based on how gently a story is presented. Legitimate journalism is supposed to be an objective summary of facts, presented in a balanced manner.

Politicians should not be afraid of being reported on. No more so than journalists should be afraid of pre-senting an opposing viewpoint that might lead them to being removed permanently from press access.

A reporter’s role is to protect the public from the excesses of power.

Any politician that fears having jour-nalists in the room,

especially those that don’t share the same viewpoint as them, is a huge concern to society.

It is irrational to fear people who view the world differently and in-terpret this difference as a personal threat. For demagogues like Donald Trump, it is an easy feat to target these irrational fears and create tension among society. By preying on peoples fears, there begins the erosion of a principle crucial to western democracies, vital to the survival of liberty. That principle is that rational exchange can happen between differing viewpoints. That this dialogue is the true voice of democracy.

It has routinely been the be-haviour of most terrifying regimes to neutralize and censor any dissent

among journalists. By cutting media access those in power essentially cut off the voices of our democracy.

Dan Rather, former CBS host and elder statesman of the craft of jour-nalism provided a spirited defence on his Facebook.

“Attacking the press for unfair coverage has long been a bipartisan pursuit. Sometimes it works. I am happy to say that often it doesn’t. Trump’s brand of vituperation is particularly personal and vicious. It carries with it the drumbeats of threatening violence. It cannot be left on answered.”

Rather added that, “good jour-nalism – the kind that matters – requires reporters who won’t back up, back down, back away or turn around when faced with efforts to intimidate them.”

It is the intent of your newspaper here to be brave, fair, balanced, factual, empathetic, dogged, tough, accurate and researched. It is our hope that our readers will hold us accountable to this intent.

Dickson Store Museum needs $60,000 reno25th Anniversary to be held Oct. 15

It has been twenty fi ve years since Queen Margarethe II offi cially opened the Dickson Store Museum. The hamlet of Dickson was established in 1903 when seventeen Danish settlers came to settle the land. Carl Christiansen one of the fi rst settlers built the store in 1909 and the family ran the store for 71 years until it closed in 1980.

In 1985 the building re-mained vacant and like all vacant buildings it was being vandalized. For the citizens of Dickson it was very sad to see the build-ing slowly going to pieces when it had once been the hub of the community. It was certainly the talk of the town so to speak. One day after church Esther Thesberg and Helen Lewis were standing looking and the store and discussing the situation and how un-fortunate it was.

Helen shared with Esther that a friend and she had thought of buying it and opening a restaurant but they had decided not to. Ester replied “I think it should be turned into a museum, it is the origi-nal building and the store

held so much signifi cance in this community.” Helen only thought for a second and responded “what a wonderful idea I will get in touch with Gordon and Helen Christiansen and see if they will donate the store and the property.

Helen went back to church and spoke with Gordon who said “we will have to think and talk about that”. Helen had barely walked in the door at home when the phone rang and it was Gordon saying it was a great idea and they would donate it. Once the idea had sparked that is when the work began. The Danish Heritage Society was formed, fund-ing was obtained, a fea-sibility study was done, and it became an Alberta Historic Resource.

The restoration began with moving the store back fi ve feet from the road. The society found out that being a designat-ed historic site comes with many guidelines about how things are done and the materials that must be used to keep the build-ing authentic. That was just one of the items on the must do list. The long list did not dishearten the members (volunteers) they were excited about mak-

ing this dream come true and they were willing to donate time and money to make it happen. Six years later the store was offi cial-ly open by the Queen of Denmark, in 1991.

Dickson is the oldest Danish settlement on the western prairies. The thrill of having the Queen here lives on in people’s memories forever. Just be-cause the restoration was fi nished and we were of-fi cially open didn’t mean the work could stop as it is continuous. While re-searching for the 2016 Exhibit “Becoming a Museum Then and Now “ it was interesting to see that some things never change like proper sig-nage, constant mainte-nance, upgrading equip-ment , always a need for more money and the un-expected. The unexpected hit the museum in 2014 when hail raged through Dickson not just once but three times. It broke win-dows, screens, pickets on the fence and put holes in the side of the building.

Since then the roof over the gift shop started to leak. Historic Sites need-ed to be called to come out and assess the dam-age and inform us what the guidelines were for

the roof repair and paint-ing. Historic sites said we should get a quote on the entire roof as it was dete-riorating. I guess the twen-ty-fi ve years we have been in existence has also been 25 years of wear and tear on the building.

However, what a shock to fi nd out that in order to hire qualifi ed contractors to prepare and paint the building and fi x the roof with the recommended

materials it is going to cost around $60,000.

Despite the twenty-fi fth anniversary being tar-nished it will still be cel-ebrated at the Fall Supper on October 15th at the Spruce View Hall. We are inviting everyone to come out and help us celebrate this milestone. If you could help us shine up the silver before then please contact the museum at 403-728-3355.

Hoop Dancer teaches students about First Nation’s cultureImportance of ‘living a noble life’ made clear

“I am here to teach kids about First Nation’s culture.”These were the words spoken by Teddy Anderson, a hoop

dancer, who began Ecole Mother Teresa’s aboriginal day with a traditional performance on Tuesday, June 13.

The dance, which features Anderson combining and re-combining brightly covered hoops into balls, is a metaphor for the world where each hoop like each individual has its own beauty – but realises a greater beauty when brought together as one.

The gift of the hoop dance was passed down to Anderson right here in Sylvan Lake.

“I started at a camp where a Hoop Dance performer per-formed,” he said. “It turns out he knew my family very, very well – so he made an exception and gifted me this dance.”

The students at Mother Teresa were enthralled with Anderson’s gift and also learned valuable lessons of not only First Nation’s culture, but also of self respect and dignity.

“The Medicine Ball ties it all together,” he said. “Its all about teaching people our value and how that value relates to other people.

He added the dance teaches and represents the impor-tance of living a noble life and what it means to be honor-able and respectful.

“Realise how you are part of a bigger world and how you have a special ability to contribute if you actually fi gure out what makes you special; what makes you unique and what you are passionate about.

Anderson sees the invaluable importance of having an extensive aboriginal education in our school systems.

“Right now is a beautiful time to do it because we are at a crossroads,” he said. “Aboriginal communities have realised that the larger society, the government and the church has began acknowledging their mistakes.

Aboriginal Day - Teddy Anderson performed traditional hoop dances for the students of Ecole Mother Teresa School on Tuesday, June 13.

PHOTO AND STORY BY TODD COLIN VAUGHANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

“There is a lot of issues and political stuff but when it comes to the heart of it, I think First Nation’s communities are more ready to accept and be part of society.”

He added that instilling aboriginal culture now is vital because “that way we can grow together as a society.

If you would like to know more about Anderson, you can

go to his website teddyanderson.com, which has informa-tion on his children’s book – which teaches young people about “being one human family.”

“Politics is a bad example of feuding in our society,” he said. “We need something else where we live as a commu-nity. “Every action we have has a ripple effect.”

THIS WEEK AT TOWN COUNCIL

The wage, remuneration and per diem rate of the next Town Council and mayor are currently under deliberation by the Council Remuneration Citizen Committee. This process typically happens in the year preceding the election year.

A committee is appointed to review the base salary of the council and mayor, in addition to council per diem rates and daily rate of pay for elected offi cials for attendance at conferences, workshops, seminars and

other events. They also make recommendations on bene-fi t’s packages and insurance coverage to elected offi cials through the town’s provider.

Also examined within the committee’s report this year was whether the positions of mayor and council should remain part time or be moved to full time.

The Council Remuneration Citizen Committee met on Thursday June 19 this year and was attended by Teresa Rillings, Paul Ventura, Ryan Veldkamp, Scott McDermott, Don Rattray, Danny Scott - with Ed Grose also in at-tendance as a consultant.

Scott McDermott was ap-pointed chair of the com-mittee and Ryan Veldkamp was appointed vice-chair.

During the meeting Scott reviewed the Council Remuneration Policy, Citizen Terms of Reference and the expectations of the committee. Grose provided the committee with a pre-sentation related to having a part-time mayor versus a full-time mayor.

It included the role of a mayor, comparative com-munity’s mayor salaries and populations, the threshold of when other communities went to a full-time mayor

status and key consideration in making a decision on mayor status.

During a regular meeting of Town Council held on Monday evening, the com-mittee put forth their rec-ommendations to Council.

The committee recom-mended the town increase the mayor’s base salary to $48,830.53. The formula that was used was to take the base plus per diems to the market average and then added 5 per cent of the market base plus per diem. This amount becomes the new salary, while the per diem amounts can still vary

depending on attendance at meetings, conferences, training, etc.

The committee recom-mended councilors pay in-crease to $23,188.90, with the same rationale as the mayor’s position applied. The Committee stated they wished these wages to be viewed as fair, that the cit-izens value the time and commitment of council and that the remuneration pack-age serves as an attraction and retention tool.

Per diems rates were rec-ommended to be kept the same as they were seen competitive and not nec-

essary to change.“Members of council

should be compensated for the time they dedicate to town business, so the more time they put in, the more compensation they will re-ceive,” stated the committee in their report to council.

It was also deemed the current status of mayor being part-time should re-main as is.

It was stated to council by the committee that the position of mayor was a primary discussion point during their meeting.

Dated at Sylvan Lake, Alberta this 30 day of May, 2016.

“The mayor’s position is a position of leadership where there must be internal drive dedication to ensure that they are attending to the requirements of the po-sition,” stated the committee’s report. “At this time, deeming the mayor’s position as a full-time position would give a restrictive impression to both the incumbent and any future mayoral hopefuls that there is no opportunity to perform other work to increase their personal income.”

The committee stated they felt there was no fi nancial advantage to the position being

deemed full-time.“To ensure that capable and motivated in-

dividuals want to run for the mayor’s offi ce, the focus needs to be on fair remunerations for the mayor’s workload, rather than the deemed title full-time,” stated the report. “Bottom line summary here is that the full-time status does not add any tangible benefi t to the position while the part-time status at least implies that the mayor can still pursue other fi nancial opportunities that allow a higher total personal remuneration while still attending the mayoral duties.”

Following the committee’s report to council, much discussion occurred with the

option to pass, deny, or table to discussion.Councillor Matt Prete was among the fi rst

to speak in the discussion stating he was fi ne with mostly everything the committee had suggested as per recommendations regarding councillors. He looked around the table and his fellow councillors nodded agreeing, but he wasn’t sold on the idea of remaining with a part-time mayor.

“Was there any consideration for other activities? The mayor speaks at how many different things? That time is donated time,” said Prete. “I don’t think the mayor should have a problem with some donated time but 10-12 hours a week is a little excessive and

a little higher expectation than is necessary to go and speak at all of these events. In our case our mayor goes and does all of these things himself, but was there any consideration for any remuneration for of those appearances or is that just considered part of that base wage?”

Chair of the Committee, Scott McDermott responded to Councillor Prete that this is certainly something they had put much thought into.

“One of the biggest things we had to be cognizant about is that in this economic times what we are proposing is a 16 per cent raise,” he added. “It was how can we have something that is fair that is advancing us to a better place?”

Councillor Dale Plante said it was important to note they get paid for all of the meetings and conferences they attend so they salaries are not fi xed on that number.

“Having said that, I think the appropriate way to do this would be to have an appearance fee,” said Plante in reference to the part time versus full time mayor issue. “Having been on council for six years now and how much goes back on the mayor’s position, I think if it was on an appearance basic it would be much more appropriate.”

Prete added he feels the mayor’s job is around 30 hours a week, adding where can you fi nd a job to fi ll that other 10 hours a week?

“What we’re doing with this policy the way it’s set up is ensuring we’re never have a mayor under 55 years old again in this town,” said Prete. “No one who is young could afford to do this with today’s cost of living and that’s the cold hard reality.

‘We also need to remember that time that’s being spent is evening time – this is premium family time that the mayor is expected to be out doing all sorts of things and isn’t compensated in any way.”

Councillor Megan Chernoff stated having seen the mayor’s schedule fi rst hand she is aware it would be nearly impos-sible to hold another job, although that is the purpose of keeping the position part time.

“Our population is young. We don’t want to attract only retired mayors - that doesn’t really represent us,” added Chernoff.

Councillor Jas Payne added, “This time commitment is substantial.”

“The compensation for the mayor’s position needs to be at a level that will attract people to the position,” Councillor Christine Lust.

Mayor Sean McIntyre fi nished the discussion by thanking the committee who had poured into this and stated he wished to acknowledge the sensitivity of the issue.

“Councillors, mayors, people who sit on our boards and communities –they do it to build a community, not to earn money,” stated Mayor McIntyre. “ We are discussing

continued from page 8 the wage of the next council and mayor 16 months before those folks will be sworn in and we really don’t know who the residents of Sylvan Lake will vote in.

“The position of the mayor is not for the faint of heart, you come in here and it is an very demanding often stressful job but reason I’m here is that I am a community builder,

whatever the fi nancial reality may be.”Council voted to table the topic until the July 11 Regular

Meeting of Council, providing time for further discussion.*** Do you think Sylvan Lake should have a full time mayor

Fire Hall opens during 1913 Days

The new fi re hall in Sylvan Lake almost had to tap a maple tree to keep up with the syrup demand.

On Saturday, June 11 – hundreds of Lakers packed into the shiny new fi re hall to take in the sights and with a pancake break-fast provided by members of the Sylvan Lake Fire Department.

In what might have been the most well attended 1913 Days Pancake Breakfast ever, guests were treated to guided tours provided by signifi cant others of the fi refi ghters, as well as a hose cutting ceremony to celebrate this long-awaited grand opening.

Peter Dziepak, who at-tended the event with his family, was amazed with the turnout.

“It’s a pretty exciting day for Sylvan Lake,” he said. “We did the tour and cruised through all the vehicles. Had an awesome breakfast and coffee.”

He added that it was in-teresting to fi nd out the fi re department was mostly run

by volunteers.“It is really, really incred-

ible,” said Dziepak. “The amount of people cruising in and out of here and sup-porting the community is amazing. I think that is the best part I can see here.”

Mayor Sean McIntyre, who opened the building

by cutting a fi re hose with the jaws of life, felt that this is a huge step for the community of Sylvan Lake.

“Our fi re department had outgrown our old facility and they were really in need of something new that would allow them to help the community, not only

now but in the future,” he said while waiting in line for pancakes with his family.

He added that the new facility has eight apparatus bays, above and beyond the four which the previous building had. This provides the “ability to expand the department as time goes on.”

The day began at 7:00 a.m., with pancakes being served until 11:00 a.m. and the ceremony, being hosted by Jared Waldo of KG Country radio, taking place at 10:00 a.m. The ceremony included a moving speech by Fire Chief Cliff Brausen, who was also fl oored by the turnout.

“It’s going great,” he said when asked about the turn-out. “Lots of kids, lots of adults. Every seat is taken and the weather is coop-erating.”

He added that the morn-ing started off with his members getting a crash course on the building, which he said ended up working out great.

Mayor McIntyre was happy to see “so many

happy people out in one place, enjoying 1913 Days and exploring the new fi re hall.”

“We are so happy to have them all together,” said the Mayor.

Brausen added that he wanted to “thank all the residences for coming out and supporting the fi re department. Thank you to everybody.” said the Chief.

Turning Points & DecisionsOne thing I have come to realize is that there is some amount of risk and some amount of faith in every decision that you make. Well, at least with the major ones.

For a lot of us, it’s really hard to know what the “right” thing to do is.

In Proverbs 3:5-6 it says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.”

Thankfully there is a biblical process on making choices, and this verse pretty much outlines it. Trust God, don’t just lean on your own understanding, acknowledge God in your decision making and He will be faithful to direct our path.

But even then, sometimes, we don’t really know for sure if we are making the right choice. It’s really easy get caught up in not making a decision because we are unsure of what to do. This is what some people would call paralysis by analysis, where we don’t end up doing anything or when we don’t have a God given vision, we might end up even settling for what is second best.

Consider this story…

I heard a story the other day about a pastor who went to lunch at a farmer’s home. After the lunch the farmer and the pastor went outside for a walk. On the walk the farmer began to show the pastor all the diff erent fi elds he had planted. As they walked along each fi eld you could see the incredible amount of work that went into each one, no weeds, and beautiful crops all in perfect unison. The farmer ends up saying to the pastor “look at the fi elds that I planted”, and the pastor corrected him by saying “well God was the one who did all of this”. The farmer turned to him and said “Yeah, but I helped. Come let me show you the fi eld that God did all by himself”. The farmer took the pastor to a wild fi eld.

I thought this was such a great story because it illustrates a very important point, which is this: Without a vision for our lives its very easy to just drift about hopefully bumping into purpose along the way.

Its important to know that God is deeply involved and cares about you when you are making important plans in your life. Trust him and lean not on your own understanding, and He will direct your paths.

God bless you, Pastor Jonathan Nash, Frontline Worship Centre

Jesus is coming to the Canadian Badlands for nine

performances July 8-24

The Canadian Badlands Passion Play is excited to an-nounce that Caleb Gordon has been cast in the role of Jesus for its nine performances July 8-24 in Drumheller, Alberta.

Casting the role of Jesus can be somewhat of a chal-lenge on many fronts, however, after the auditions were completed the decision was made to cast Caleb Gordon in the lead role.

“Finding someone to play the role of Jesus can be a bit diffi cult,” explains, Vance Neudorf, Executive Director of the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. “You not only need an actor who can effectively play this iconic role but also one who is physical fi t and able to move quickly up and down the hills and around the stage while seamlessly delivering his lines.”

Caleb has a long history with the Passion Play, having started out as a high school student in the Canadian Badlands Performing Arts summer school program being fi rst cast as one of the thieves beside Jesus on the crosses during the crucifi xion scene.

From there, he continued with the production, playing many and varied roles, eventually playing the part of Enosh, the man born blind.

Caleb says, “As I played the role of Enosh I looked into the eyes of the Jesus actor during the healing scene and it gave me a new perspective on what it means to be an actor. Even when no one else could see his eyes, they were still fi lled with kindness. It sparked something in me, a desire to play my role with such passion and authenticity.”

2016 will be a groundbreaking season for the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. The new script, an adaptation of the Gospel of Luke titled “Face to Face”, written by Alberta playwright Barrett Hileman will encompass the entire life of Christ, beginning at his birth. Alberta composer Luke Ertman has created the score for the new play. Brian Jensen, who played the role of the apostle John for the past fi ve seasons, has become the lead director.

“With over 200 actors on stage supported by 40 backstage support staff the Passion Play is a mammoth undertaking resulting in an incredible outdoor spectacle,” adds Neudorf.

Since its fi rst performance in 1994, The Canadian Badlands Passion Play has gained provincial, national and interna-tional reputation as one of North America’s top ‘must see’ cultural and tourism events. Located in Drumheller, Alberta approximately 90 miles northeast of Calgary, the annual ‘Theatre in the Badlands’ attraction provides its audiences with a dramatic retelling of the life of Jesus Christ. The production, supported by an additional 200 volunteers, is presented in a 30-acre natural badlands canyon bowl, the largest of its kind in Canada, whose stark and dramatic geographical surroundings mirror those of ancient Israel.

In 2016, The Canadian Badlands Passion Play will have nine performances July 8-24. www.canadianpassionplay.com 1-888-823-2001.

Happy Father ’s Day SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2016

Thanks Pops

On Sunday, June 18, peo-ple around the world will rush last second to golf stores, hardware stores and card stores in order to make it look like we didn’t forget this arbitrary holi-day of Father’s Day created so golf stores, hardware store and card stores can fi ll the tough selling times between Christmas and next Christmas.

If your dad is anything like my father, he will ap-preciate the thought of a gift — but wonder about the cost involved.

To say that celebrating our dads is void of mean-ing because of the com-mercialism attached to this holiday would howev-er be an incorrect fact.

I have now known my father for nearly 29 years, and truthfully in that time – we haven’t talked much about our feelings. From my, admitted not researched view, it seems that a non-vocal under-standing of caring seems to be a common theme amongst father-son rela-tionships.

To say I lack understand-ing of my father’s efforts

Say something cool to dad on Father’s Day

Me and my par ents, Terr y Vaughan and Mar ilyn Vaughan.

TODD COLIN VAUGHANSYLVAN LAKE NEWS

would be in error. My fa-ther was a diligent work-er for the Alberta govern-ment for 35 years until he retired last June, and not once did I hear him gripe about his job or the people he worked with – nor does he currently neglect his duties towards his family and extended family.

My family always had food on the table, (also thanks to my mother) and I have always had someone supporting me through the navigation of young adulthood … and he has always had someone to call him by his fi rst name and give him a few more grey hairs each week.

In truth, living with me has likely been a teeth grinding affair at times for my dad. I often take too

much pride in being con-trary and obnoxious, and will often forget that other people might have some-thing to say equally as in-teresting as the things I have to say. My dad, to his credit, has been pa-tient and even has accept-ed that he will unlikely be right in my presence … at least not until after the fact.

What I’m trying to get at is being someone’s child is probably a pain in the rear end for a lot of people and that many of us are inca-pable of holding an emo-tional moment with our parents for over 30 sec-onds, but on Father’s Day – after you give him the putter he’s always never wanted – say something cool to your dad.

SPORTSSPORTSLions take home title at weekend jamboree in Lacombe

Over a past weekend the Sylvan Lake Lions Football team was at the 2nd annual Lacombe Raiders Bantam North -South Jamboree. The team consisted of 24 players who have been practicing during the spring training camp for the two weeks leading up to the day. The Jamboree is three pool games and one playoff game. Each game is 50 minutes long with each team getting 10 plays to score as many touch downs as they can starting from the 45 yard line. If time allowed they would each get another 10 plays.

There were eight teams in total, broken into two pools. North Division had Hunting Hills (Red Deer), Rocky Mountain House, Sylvan Lake and Lacombe. The South Division had Lindsay Thurber (Red Deer), Ponoka, Springbank and Drumheller. Each pool played to shake out placings, that lead into the one cross over playoff game. 1st place played 1st and 2nd played 2nd etc.

The day had the Lions start against Rocky Mountain House who were strong, but the Lions came out on top. The next team they faced was from Hunting Hills who looked very intimidating with their 45 players. The Lions played very strong against Hunting, winning very convincingly. The last pool game was against the home team, the Lacombe Raiders who had a smaller body count than Sylvan, having only two subs on their sidelines. The Lions played really hard against Lacombe to win this game as well, placing them fi rst for their pool.

The last game of the day was the cross over against the North team that ended up being Lindsay Thurber. The team started on defence fi rst, keeping their opponent from scoring. Then on the offence the Lions got off to a quick lead getting two touch downs. The Thurber team fought a tough battle, but just couldn’t shut down the strong Lions team.

Coach Vic Sloboda was very happy with how the team performed all day long. There were some amazing catches, blocks, runs, throws and picks made throughout the day. Both offence and defence played really well throughout. The fi eld temperature on the turf was +36 so it was incredibly hot to be playing but the team stayed hydrated and strong.

The team that was fi elded was: Ewan Ballantyne 85, Brian Bott 24, Reuben Braitenbach 17, Warren Stewart - Brown 44, Daxton Bylsma 18, Dalton Carbert 50, Brodey Duperon 68, Steven Fuchihara 34, Jacob Gauvin 42, Sam Jones 35, Arden Kasha 66, Derek Keller 53, Taylor Lunde 64, Morgan MacNeil 62, Cole Matthews 55, Matthew McDiarmid 12, Nolan Mearns 15, Brandon Moore 8, Cody Peever 25, Zion Pham 6, Joel Screpnek 11, Joshua StPierre 56, Aydan Waters 13, Diezel West 9.

Coaches included: Vic Sloboda (head coach), supporting coaches Dan Johnson, Chris McKenna, Geoff Rambaut,

Another Successful Year for Muscles in MotionJune 4th marked the 6th year for the annual Muscles

in Motion event, an annual event raising awareness and funds for those affected with Muscular Dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders.

The event consists of a 4km and 8km trail run through the beautiful paths of Jarvis Bay Provincial Park in addi-tion to a Team Fire Fighter Fitness Challenge. The event was created for all ages, as there is also a Kids 1km run and obstacle course.

Kim Reinhart, the owner of Optimal Fitness and creator of the event was very excited with this year’s turnout.

“With the turn of the economy and funds being tight all around, our committee was really concerned with the number of registrants this year,” Reinhart said.

With the help of community support, sponsors and past participants - the event brought in 75 runners and eight teams for the challenge, which averages out with past years. The down turn in the economy wasn’t the only thing weighing on Reinhart’s mind as the event was being planned. On December 19 of 2015, her nephew Garrett passed away suddenly of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 17.

The event was created for personal reasons and this year became a tribute to Garrett.

“There is no cure for Muscular Dystrophy and having a family member affected with the disorder makes you feel very helpless. Helping raise awareness was one of the ways, I felt I was helping contribute to the cause. Our family knew that Garrett’s life expectancy was going to be short, but getting that phone call with the news that

he was gone, was devastating,” Reinhart explained. “The heartache of losing someone so young and to watch my sister and her family relive the moment day after day is heartbreaking. For a moment, I didn’t want to continue running the event, feeling angry and defeated. But on the other hand, I wouldn’t want other families to have to go through a similar loss. I will continue to raise aware-ness and funds through Muscles in Motion in the hope that a cure is found and help keep the spirits strong in those that continue to battle the disorder.”

Every year the Muscles in Motion committee is looking at new ways to promote the event. This year they added Hip Hop for Muscular Dystrophy. With the help of Rico Martinez of Pound It Hip Hop Studio and local street dancer Bboy Sabatoge, Sebastian Reinhart and Bboy Golden Boy (Coleman Komula), the event was a huge success. The instructors taught hip hop moves and break dance combos to the students of the following schools: Our Lady of the Rosary, Ecole Mother Teresa School and CP Blakely School.

The campaign covered age groups from Pre K to grade 5, challenging the students to make their muscles move. Bboy Sabatoge, age 11, is a competitive street dancer. His goal is to continue to create awareness in memory of his cousin Garrett and show support to other families who have loved ones affected with MD. The committee

of Muscles in Motion would like to extend a thank you to all the schools who participated and everyone who pledged and sponsored the students. The total raised between the 3 schools was over $3400. Muscles in Motion successfully raised over $12,000 this year. Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and participants. A special thank you to the committee members Marie-Astrid Detharet and Nikki Labelle for their countless hours in helping make the event such a success.

Lorrie fell in love and married the man of her dreams, Steve Mays on October 26, 1985. They resided in Sylvan Lake and had one son, Aaron.

Beware of HALTSStaying on target with any goal

is tough – but of course, my focus is on health and fi tness and one of the biggest killers for your goals is HALTS.

HALTS is: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired and Stressed.

Hungry - you have probably heard the saying: “never go gro-cery shopping while hungry” – that one is pretty obvious, and I think we have all done it. You come home with ice cream, chips, chocolate or something else not on your plan. Same goes for head-ing to a restaurant. If you are super hungry, you will make dif-ferent decisions, perhaps not sup-portive ones. You need to have a plan in place to overcome this, and eating well all the time so you avoid it, is best. You are also less mentally sharp when hungry, leading to further bad deci-sion making.

Angry or emotional in general will make you change your de-cisions in a non supportive way. If you are having a bad day and experiencing anger, sadness or any ‘negative’ emotions then you are very likely to skip your workout or eat junk food. There is a rule: When emotions are high, intelligence is low. When we are really upset, we just are not thinking straight – this is where ‘time out’ comes from and it’s actually a good idea for adults too.

Loneliness, and no, this has nothing to do with marital status is a problem sometimes with choices. I know that when my Wife and son are out of town, the chance that I have pizza and ice cream go up, because I am alone and revert to my bachelor tendencies. Maybe that isn’t such a bad thing, but if you were to ask yourself, “Would I make this choice if I wasn’t alone?” and the answer is ‘no’ then perhaps you need to stop and think or phone a friend for some support.

Tired, oh boy, this one hits me a lot. When I am tired, I make poor choices. I eat food that is not helping. I skip a workout. I cave in to some basic emotions that have nothing to do with my goals. A nap could be a great idea and as much as we could debate the health of it. For an adult a coffee can help get you back on track.

Stressed. Stress not only causes us to store fat in the worst places from cortisol levels, it also contributes to lousy decision making. Instead of having a solid, rational thought, we make a decision based on a non supportive state of being. It is a clinical fact that people under stress have a harder time controlling urges such as eating a half dozen donuts and the person can only think of the reward - not the consequence.

Avoiding the consequences of HALTS for fi tness and for life is pretty simple. Make sure you eat on a structured, thought out plan so that good food is readily available and handy. If you are angry or emotional, give yourself a fi ve minute time out to breathe and let the feeling pass. You might need to write out the reasons why you are angry, so that you can let it go and deal with it later.

For loneliness, have a support system through social media or call a friend. Join a class like bootcamp, where people expect you to be there and will support you. Make sure you get 7.5 hours sleep every night, and grab a nap if you can to avoid being tired. If that isn’t possible yet, then a coffee or tea might be your next step as an adult. Kids, no stimulants until you are 18.

Exercise will also boost energy, so that might just be the ticket. As for stress, do your best to breathe. Ask for help, delegate, or give yourself some space. Find the good in the thing that is mak-ing you stressed and try to reframe it. Of course, exercise helps relieve stress better than pretty much anything, so go for a good workout to deal with stress.

Happy Training!Scott
