The Stanley Cup is becoming a familiar site in Sylvan Lake, and it made its second appearance in town this year during Sunday Funday at Centennial Park. A steady stream of hockey fans lined up throughout the afternoon to have their picture taken with it.

Hockeyville celebrations kicked off in style with Sunday Funday STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

An action-packed Fun Fair marking the beginning of Hockeyville celebrations on Sunday couldn’t have gone any better, say organizers, who feel it provided an ideal start to four days of related festivities.

“Everybody’s happy, it’s just a beautiful day, we’re at the beach — life doesn’t get much better,” said Sylvan Lake Hockeyville committee chair Graham Parsons.

Live music, entertainment and games at Centennial Park offered no shortage of things to do or see throughout the afternoon. There were even a few surprises, including a flashmob led by Spandy Andy in the middle of a speech by Mayor Sean McIntyre.

“That was incredible, I’ve never been flashmobbed before,” said McIntyre, before continuing on with his acknowledgements of those who helped make the town’s Kraft Hockeyville dream a reality: “Generous sponsors, good neighbours, tireless volunteers, and a community with hockey in its blood that comes together when it counts.”

“The community

spirit that has resulted from all of this is truly priceless,” he said.

“Hockeyville has helped us come together, it has helped define us, and it’s helped inspire us.

“Our community has helped to show the world — and, more importantly, we’ve helped to show ourselves — what community really means.”

McIntyre noted that the town is still down an arena, but assured rebuilding would be taking place “very soon” with the Multiplex Redevelopment Project now well underway.

“As we enter this next season, and as the shovels hit the ground, remember that this process will be long, and the work will be hard, but what we’re building is for all of us, and it will last generations,” he said. “We’ve started this journey together, and we’re going to continue this journey together.”

The fair, billed by organizers as ‘Sunday Funday,’ attracted families from both in town and around the province.

It’s time to include dental health in the healthcare system PAUL ALLISON TROY MEDIA

There are many reasons why some Canadians choose not to go to the dentist, but a new report released recently from the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) found that cost is a major factor – and that Canada’s most vulnerable populations have the highest rates of dental decay, pain and disease and at the same time the worst access to this much needed healthcare service.

The price tag for hospital care and most physician services is covered through our publicly-funded healthcare system, but dental care is largely paid for privately in Canada. The CAHS report reveals that a whopping 95 per cent of dental care is paid out-of-pocket or through private dental insurance and is delivered in private dental offices. The remaining 5 per cent is covered through a hodgepodge of public health programs offered federally and provincially, targeting the needs of specific populations, with many falling through the cracks.

So what happens when you don’t have dental insurance?

The report found that almost half of all Canadians without dental insurance – commonly, new Canadians, the elderly, people working in insecure jobs and for low wages, and their children – avoid visiting a dentist due to costs. In fact, those in the poorest income group were almost four times more likely to avoid the dentist due to costs than the richest group of Canadians.

Vulnerable Canadians with difficulty accessing dental care are also those with the most dental pain, the greatest difficulty eating a healthy diet and the ones with the highest levels of gum disease, which in turn can increase their risk for general

health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

In other words, those who need dental care the most are the least likely to be able to get it, and the ones who suffer the most because of it. It may also be costing all of us through increased visits to already crowded emergency rooms and physician offices, and valuable time lost from work, school and other activities.

There are other reasons that people skip seeing their dentist, such as lack of transportation, fear of dental treatment and the dental office, and misunderstandings between dental professionals and certain groups in the population. These complex issues have complex solutions.

But they cannot be addressed without first addressing equity in access to dental care. The CAHS report finds that inequalities in oral disease and access to dental care in Canada are greater than inequalities in general health problems and medical care.

What might surprise many is that Canada actually provides less publicly-funded dental care than the United States – and, internationally, Canada is among the lowest funders of dental healthcare programs.

Inequality in access to dental care is but one manifestation of the increasing inequalities in Canadian society and it needs to be addressed.

With societal changes such as the increasing proportion of the population who are elderly and the decreasing proportion of the population with dental insurance, difficulty accessing dental care is only going to increase unless we start acting now.

All people living in Canada should have reasonable access to dental care. We need to bring dentistry into the general healthcare system by having some dental clinics in hospitals and community health cen-

tres. We need to explore the use of a variety of dental and other health professionals delivering care in a variety of settings. And we need to explore the financing of dental care for vulnerable groups – including anomalies in tax legislation that help those with dental insurance but not those without.

We need concerted professional, government and community action

weekend rainfall and continued bad weather this week, rural roads became unfit for travel and attendance at the clinic dwindled. Following a check up today it is doubtful if the attendance for the six days the clinic is here will be much over 800. While this number is disappointing — the clinic can put through 300 a day — with weather and road conditions as they were, people simply could not get here. The X-rays are sent to the T.B. laboratory at Calgary where they are read and diagnosis cards are completed.

Nothing more is heard from the clinic if your X-ray shows negative. If there is any evidence of infection, either active or inactive, it is reported to your family doctor, who will advise you to call. ♦ ♦ ♦

From the issue of October 1, 1964

At Monday evening’s council meeting the question of a skating arena was brought up. After a length discussion, it was felt that the only way the town could undertake such a project would be to hold a plebiscite on a money bylaw. No decision was made as to when such a plebiscite should be

held.

The only alternative to a money bylaw to construct an arena, would be for service organizations to raise a substantial amount of money. Then it might be possible for the town to assist with a grant. Or the town could set aside a certain sum each year for several years to build up a fund for an arena. These alternatives would take several years to accomplish. ♦ ♦ ♦ Another milestone of progress was marked this past Sunday when 37 children from the ages of 2 to 15 advanced to the next class higher in the Benalto Baptist Sunday School.

Lack of leadership shown following bus accident Dear Editor, On Tuesday, September 16, at approximately 7:30 a.m., a Red Deer Catholic school bus, heading east on Highway 11, turned left, or north, onto 60th Street, Sylvan Lake, into the path of a westbound water truck. A violent crash ensued — the bus was struck over the passenger side rear tires.

Fortunately, there was but one student on the bus who, although shaken, was not seriously injured. The bus and truck drivers also escaped relatively unharmed. Police, ambulance, and fire crews all responded to the incident.

This was my son’s school bus. He waited that morning for his bus to appear, and when it didn’t, my wife drove him to school. We did not receive any notification from Red Deer Catholic Schools about the accident.

Later that morning, I emailed the principal of my son’s school to express concern for his safety, and to inquire about the bus operator’s driving record. The principal sent me a copy of the police report, which she said would demonstrate that the bus driver was not at fault. It was upon reviewing the report that I quickly realized that the driver was clearly at fault, having executed an unsafe left-hand turn. Moreover, the police report clearly indicated that charges were pending.

Alarmed that Red Deer Catholic Schools might actually believe that the driver was not at fault, I cc’ed my reply to the principal to the Superintendent of Schools, who thereafter answered all my email inquiries. He was dismissive of my concerns, warned that parents in the Sylvan Lake community might be engaging “misinformation,” and, in response to my statement that my son would not ride the bus until this matter was cleared up, told me I was free to either use the bus service or not. Later that day, the principals of both Sylvan Lake Catholic Schools released, presumably under the direction of the Superintendent, a letter to parents that stated that the bus driver was not charged in relation to the accident.

By this time, my initial alarm had turned to anger, and I called the RCMP detachment. I was put in touch with the very professional and thorough Corporal Halwa, who was surprised to learn that the Superintendent of Schools had issued such a letter; he had charged the bus driver that morning under section 34(2) of the Use of Highway and Rules of the Road Regulations.

A conversation between the Superintendent and him ensued, and Red Deer Catholic, to its shame, had to retract the first letter and send out a corrective letter on Thursday — three full school days after the incident. But to add insult to injury, parents had still not been told if the driver would continue to transport their children to school.

When I went on to point out this further gaffe to the Superintendent, he updated the school website pages to say that the driver was suspended from duties until Red Deer Catholic

Schools completed its own “internal investigation” of the incident. Say, what? Its own internal investigation?? The bus driver had executed an unsafe left-hand turn, totalled a bus (I presume), and been charged by the RCMP. Had that bus been full of students — my son usually sits right at the point of impact — I shudder to think what Sylvan Lake might be experiencing right now.

What is to investigate? Does Red Deer Catholic Schools somehow think it might be possible to generate a verdict that would supersede the RCMP charge?

Sometimes, we are shocked by what happens to our society’s leaders. They can become surprisingly impressed by their own power, and come to see themselves as somehow immune to the laws of nature and society that so strictly govern the rest of us.

Our provincial Tories are currently struggling to convince us all that they can recover from this sense of entitlement and privilege they came to assume was a birthright. Let us all, especially us Catholic citizens, work hard to purge this same indifference from our own leadership, and let us all, from the greatest of us to the least, strive to model our conduct and demeanour on the service and humility of the Founder of our Church.

Perhaps it was His providence and design that kept this accident from being the total disaster it might have been, but let’s not miss the wake-up call.

Alger J.C. Libby, Sylvan Lake

Saddened by theft of charity donations Dear Editor, Today (Friday) was a wonderful day for the second-to-last Farmer’s Market. We had a special guest so our booth was on the west side of Railway Park, on the grass.

We were permitted to bring some dogs to take advantage of our guest’s professional credentials as dog trainer and dog massager. Things were so relaxed under blue skies and sunshine, with Flashback Freddy singing his wonderful songs in the background.

When we packed up, volunteer Al noticed we had only one cash can instead of two. We thought back to a group of about seven or eight teens who enjoyed petting the dogs and hung around our displays for quite a while.

We can’t say who took the can, but we can say with certainty that a fair number of people put their hard earned money into the tin. The donations go straight to our bank account so we can pay the vet bills for spay/ neuter, injury rehabilitation, and surgery.

We apologize to those who were so thoughtful, and are saddened by the thoughtless actions of the thief or thieves. Next week we will be more vigilant. It’s a sad world indeed when donations toward a charity are stolen.

Regards to all; blessings to our donors.

“Kraft does know how to put a party together, but so do we,” he said.

“What a day.”

Committee member Megan Chernoff said Hockeyville volunteers were plentiful following the three days of ticket balloting earlier this month — so much so that some had to be turned away.

Ensuring all students feel connected, he added, is key to ensuring a healthy high school social environment.

“The one thing we don’t want is anybody to be left alone,” he said. “High school is a social place, (and) is a place to come and see your friends and go to classes, but we really want you to get connected with a least a couple of other students.

“We are super excited to have all of you here.”

Several songs were performed throughout the luncheon by students of both HJ Cody and Fox Run School.

HJ Cody School’s Leadership team welcomed new students from all walks of life to the school during the annual New Student Luncheon last Thursday afternoon.

New students who began classes at HJ Cody earlier this month were identified as having come from a plethora of different backgrounds, schools and even countries.

Leadership team members gave them an insight into the opportunities the school offers academically, athletically and artistically.

“We just want you to be aware of all the different things you could participate in at HJ,” said student Josh Howse. “We have a wide variety of activities in the performing arts, sports and academics.”

Student Jocelyn Mosset elaborated on the school’s athletics program, noting students can take part in football, curling, basketball, volleyball, archery, soccer, badminton and track.

The Town of Sylvan Lake responded positively to the Province’s announcement on Tuesday of a comprehensive health care review for rural Alberta communities.

The review will see a panel of stakeholders and health care experts look into health care delivery in what Premier Jim Prentice described as “underserviced rural and remote areas.”

Findings will be reported to Health Minister Stephen Mandel within 90 days.

“I learned from my travels across Alberta this summer that many rural communities are seriously concerned about health care delivery,” said Prentice in a Province release.

Aspects of health care access, specialist services, existing health facilities, personnel recruitment, economic development and health service planning will all be considered as part of the review.

Sylvan Lake mayor Sean McIntyre was encouraged by the development.

“Our global approach to developing and improving healthcare services to Sylvan Lake and area appears to be right in line with what Premier Prentice and his government are proposing,” he said in a Town release.

The community advisory committee leading the push for a Family Care Centre in Sylvan Lake said at a town hall meeting earlier this month that it was hoping to have a business plan submitted to the Health Minister by the end of September.

The Town is now hoping to set up a face-toface meeting between McIntyre, members of the advisory committee, Prentice and Mandel.

“Our goal is to familiarize them with our needs and current initiative, and to hopefully get clarification of the process moving forward under this new cabinet and government,” said McIntyre, adding he aims to capitalize on the premier’s mention of touring applicable rural communities. “Perhaps now would be an optimal time to invite him to personally visit Sylvan Lake to learn first hand of the grass roots work already done in an effort to improve access to improved health care.”

Workshop to address downsizing fears STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

A workshop set to be held in Sylvan Lake is offering assistance and support for people who have trouble letting go of personal possessions that may be of spiritual and emotional importance.

The workshop, scheduled for Oct. 8 at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre, is aimed primarily at people who struggle with transitions, explains Lyn Lamers, education co-ordinator for Shalom Counselling Centre.

“Part of transitions is downsizing, and what to do with all this stuff,” she said. “It’s not just a physical struggle, it’s very much an emotional struggle ... and when you just take it right off the top, it doesn’t seem like a very serious thing, but it can just stop people’s lives.”

Through counselling, Lamers has seen how deep-seated problems with

letting go can become, often leading to the discovery of more complicated emotional issues.

The workshop, she said, “hit a chord” with participants when it was piloted in Red Deer last spring, and she’s hoping to see the same positive response in Sylvan Lake.

“People just poured their hearts out, and they needed to see other that were struggling with the same problem, because they thought that they were unique and struggling alone, and what’s the big deal?” she said. “Unfortunately, it is a big deal for those going through it.”

In older generations, physical items may accumulate over periods of up to 80 years in length, according to Lamers.

Presentations and round-table group discussions, she said, will aim to help them determine which of those items are worth keeping, and which should be

discarded.

“So many memories come up, and there’s so many reasons to keep the things we keep,” she said. “We’re not telling them to throw it all out. We give them the tools to learn how to differentiate stuff from junk, from treasures.”

Though longer life allows more time for stuff to be accumulated, the workshop isn’t open exclusively to seniors, said Lamers. Rather, she feels it’s something from which a large cross-section of the population can benefit.

“The energy in the room is amazing,” she said. “It’s just a good thing, and it’s something that we want to share with as many people as we can, because so many struggle with it.”

The workshop will run from 6 to 9 p.m. Information on registration and fees is available by calling 403-3420339.

Council gives first reading to secondary suites bylaw STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Sylvan Lake town council on Monday gave first reading to a proposed amendment to the Town’s Secondary Suites bylaw, choosing a preferred option out of seven presented in total.

Administration, in its report to council, noted the preferred option “allows for the most orderly manner to regulate secondary suites.”

“I’m more concerned about the spacing than I am about the number of them. I wouldn’t want two right together or one one each side of somebody, and then the poor guy in the middle has got a secondary suite on both sides.”

Coun. Matt Prete That option, according to Matthew Pawlow of Parkland Community Planning Services, will see secondary suites allowed only on a single detached dwelling lot when “the secondary suite is located within a lot that allows for garage suites as indicated on the Garage Suites Map ... or on a corner lot, or the lot has

frontage along an arterial or collector road, or on a lot where residential development is only located on one side of the road.”

Rear lane access and hardsurfaced on-site parking are also requirements, and the suites will be permitted only in neighbourhoods where their current development density is no higher than 15 per cent of the neighbourhood’s overall detached dwellings.

Coun. Matt Prete felt that percentage could be increased.

“Quite frankly, two out of ten houses wouldn’t be too many on a block,” he said. “I’m more concerned about the spacing than I am about the number of them. I wouldn’t want two right together or one one each side of somebody, and then the poor guy in the middle has got a secondary suite on both sides.”

Coun. Jas Payne said he believed the wording of the proposed amendment to be somewhat vague — particularly in its lack of definition of ‘neighbourhood.’

Coun. Megan Chernoff agreed, and felt a decision on development density maximums would be made easier if ‘neighbourhood’ was more clearly defined.

“In my mind, the number discussion would be a lot easier, because that would change my perception on what number is acceptable,” she said.

First reading of the proposed bylaw amendment was carried unanimously. A public hearing on the bylaw will take place Oct. 27.

Upcoming AHS workshops aimed at improving lifestyle STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

Residents of Sylvan Lake and area are being invited to learn more about supportive health through a series of Alberta Health Services (AHS) information workshops aimed at improving lifestyle.

The workshops are being held through the AHS Alberta Healthy Living Program, which aims to promote healthy living in Albertans, and provides them access to useful information.

Heart health, diabetes care, weight management, chronic illness management and

nutrition are among the topics covered by the workshops, which are conducted by AHS professionals.

Expertise is shared through group discussions, and participants are offered support and encouragement by the professionals present.

This particular session will see more than 140 of the workshops held throughout the AHS Central Zone.

Upcoming Sylvan Lake sessions include: • Oct. 7 - Respiratory Education, 1 to 4 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre.

Offers information on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, helpful breathing tips,

and a common respiratory medications review.

• Oct. 14 to Dec. 4 - Eight-week Supervised Exercise Program, 2 to 3:30 p.m. at Best Body Fitness. Two times a week, teaches physical activities for those with long-term health conditions.

• Nov. 14 - Heart Wise, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Centre.

Offers information on cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart-healthy nutrition.

• Dec. 4 - Diabetes Basics, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sylvan Lake Community Health Centre. Teaches how to manage pre-diabe-

tes and Type 2 diabetes.

A full list of upcoming workshops in the area is available on the AHS website at www.albertahealthservices.ca.

Workshops are offered free of charge.

Further information, including registration details, is available by calling 1-877-3146997.

Workshops are also scheduled to take place over the next several weeks in Rocky Mountain House, Eckville, Red Deer, Rimbey and other municipalities within the Central Zone.

Approval upheld for Eckville frac sand transloading facility STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Town of Eckville’s Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) announced Monday its decision to uphold the Municipal Planning Commission’s (MPC) approval of a development permit for a temporary frac sand transloading facility in Eckville.

The approval comes with a number of new conditions in response to concerns outlined by appellants, namely as they relate to noise, dust, safety, traffic and aesthetics.

The board feels that the conditions of the permit — which mandate dust control and monitoring, noise reduction measures, lighting regulations and the addition of landscaping and screening features as directed — will mitigate those concerns.

The board noted that its decision considered various policies of the Town’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) — one of which is to attract industrial development that increases employment opportunities in town.

In its written decision, it also noted that the the approved permit is temporary, and might not be extend-

ed beyond 2016.

“This (time) will provide the applicant, residents and the Town of Eckville with a reasonable period of time to assess what actual impact the development has on the area before there is consideration of issuing a new development permit for the development.”

The board concluded that the development will have “minimal” impact on town road infrastructure, and said trucks will access the development from Highway 766. It also noted that it did not anticipate a “significant increase of train activity” in town.

The decision arrived one week after an appeal hearing was held at the Eckville Legion, during which appellants and the applicant — Calgary-headquartered Source Energy Services — presented their cases both in support and opposition of the appeal.

Town council on Monday night directed administration to further talks with Wolf Creek Public Schools about bringing busing to students who live south of the railway tracks in town.

Talks have taken place in the past, but will be stepped up as a result of the appeal board’s decision, say Town staff.

Application submitted for Sylvan FM radio station STUART FULLARTON SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The future of an FM radio station being proposed for Sylvan Lake will become clear following a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) hearing on Nov. 12.

An application submitted by Lethbridge-based Clear Sky Radio Inc. proposes a modern rock FM radio station that would also offer local news and community information.

The station, 88.5 The Lake, would play modern music, which its proposal states is the genre most supported by research carried out in Sylvan Lake last year.

Reports on local news, weather, sports and highway conditions would be offered to fill demand created by the current absence of a local radio station, according to the proposal.

More than 60 news packages totalling more than three hours in length would be aired each week.

Sylvan Lake residents commuting to and from Red Deer make up an important listener base for the proposed station. Clear Sky says a strong in-car signal would allow frequent commuters access to up-to-date road and weather reports on Highway 11, enabling them to make important travel decisions.

If licensed, Clear Sky intends to create “strong relationships” with

local community organizations and non-profit groups, which it says it’s already done in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat — homes to its other two stations.

The application states advertising would be solicited locally, and not in Red Deer.

Establishing the station locally would fit with Clear Sky’s goal of growing into a “strong regional broadcasting company.” Since 2005, its FM services have also been looked at for Calgary, Fort McMurray, Kelowna, Red Deer and Cranbrook.

Its Sylvan Lake proposal notes that radio stations have been successful in towns of a similar size to Sylvan Lake, and also in even smaller municipalities such as Olds, Whitecourt and Wainwright.

Comments and support are being solicited by Clear Sky until Oct. 14, prior to the Nov. 12 public hearing in Gatineau, Que.

HJ Cody girls prove strong in volleyball season opener SUBMITTED SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

The Sylvan Lake HJ Cody junior and senior girls volleyball teams stated their regular season with a fantastic evening on Sept. 16.

The night was hosted by both teams, with the juniors playing the Innisfail Cyclones first, then the senior team playing the Innisfail senior team.

The stands were full of excitement for the season opener games. There were students and parents out to cheer on the girls teams in hopes of getting off to a great start to the season.

The JV team consists of Abby Tucker (1), Bailee Kentz (2), Jessie Stormoen (3), Meghan Meier (5), Morgan Lockyer (6), Ceanna Muller (7), Erin Matthews (9), Danielle Smith (10), Sara Vick (11), Regan Eisler (14) and Kaitlyn Simpson (17).

The JV Lakers got off to a great start beating the Cyclones 25-16. The next set was a close win at 27-25, followed by a lost set of 14-25, but again the JV Lakers came back with a 25-14 set to win the overall game.

Following the JV team was the SV team who also came out strong, winning a quick three sets in a row to win the game. This was an amazing start to both of their seasons and we hope to see them improve even more throughout the year.

On Sept. 20 the JV team was in Ponoka at St. Augustine School across from the Ponoka Stampede grounds. The teams in attendance were the host team Ponoka St Augustine Queens, Pigeon Lake Panthers, John Maland Wildcats (Devon), St. Dominics Huskies (Rocky), Penhold Crossing Skyhawks and our HJ Cody Lakers JV team.

The first game of the day was at 9 a.m. The Lakers played a total of 10 games throughout the day with two sets in each game. Out of the 20 sets they played in round robin, they only lost one set in total. This took them into the playoffs in first place.

The girls went in with great confidence and won their first game in a very quick two sets to zero. This took them to the gold medal game.

They won the first set but lost the next set with a very close score, taking them to the last tiebreaking set, in which they unfortunately lost, resulting in a second-place finish overall.

The girls should be very proud of themselves playing a total of 15 sets and only losing three the entire 11 hours they were there.

The girls on the team and the parents would like to say a very special thank you to Mr. Steadman for coming out and coaching the girls, as their head coach Mrs. Steinbach had her one-year wedding anniversary that day.

Good luck to both the JV and SV teams in the rest of their league games.

Bailee Kentz, Cianna Muller, Sara Vick and Erin Matthews waiting for the incoming ball.

Team Eville wrestlers Ewok, Hunter and Bam Bam — representing Crank Gym in Eckville — were in top form for the first event of this year’s Submission Series. This long-running tournament showcases some of the top up-and-coming grapplers in Alberta.

After the eight regional events, four in Edmonton and four in Calgary, the top eight grapplers from each weight division face off at the MBS tournament in June.

With a championship belt up for grabs, Brett ‘Bam Bam’ Burak stepped on the mats last Saturday in the men’s competitive division with a mission.

Brett showed he can compete along side opponents who are 10 to 15 years his senior. ‘Bam Bam’ finished his day 2-1, both wins coming by way of arm bar. His only loss was by arm bar as well. This performance was strong enough to secure the third place medal and earn him two out of a possible four points for that event.

Earlier that day Sophia ‘Ewok’ McAlpine and Hunter Smith also competed. Both gave dominant performances which earned them each a gold medal finish.

As is normal, ‘Ewok’ McAlpine competed first and definitely set the tone for the rest of the Team Eville wrestlers. Sophia’s goal for this tournament was to beat her 14-second submission victory record. As always, she wasted no time, literally — Sophia’s first match lasted all of 12 seconds.

‘Ewok’s’ next opponent faired a little better, and survived to the 19-second mark. He to fell victim to Sophia’s signature standing rear choke.

Next up was Hunter Smith. His matches weren’t as quick as Sophia’s, but he was just as dominant.

Hunter pushed the pace so hard that he visibly wore out his opponent within the first minute of both matches. What surprised many in attendance was Hunter’s quickness and agility. His ability to move his 177lbs frame as if he was 155lbs, also having cardio comparable to that of the lighter weight classes, is a testament to Hunter’s hard work in the off-season.

Congratulations to all the Eville wrestlers who competed on the weekend.

City fire and EMS personnel attended the scene to work with RCMP on a rescue plan, with assistance from a Telus technician. Responders required Telus to shut down the tower before the

rescue attempt, which may have impacted Telus service during this time. An inopportune lightning storm delayed the rescue plans, but the man descended the tower of his own accord at approximately 8:30 pm and was taken into custody.

The 26-year-old man from Red Deer is facing several Criminal Code charges.

The growing role of women in the workforce JOCK FINLAYSON TROY MEDIA

The growing role of women in the workforce arguably qualifies as the most consequential socioeconomic development of the past 50 years.

As more women have entered the formal labour market, the productive capacity of our economy has been augmented. Indeed, increased “labour input” — more people working – has been the principal factor pushing up gross domestic product (GDP) and household incomes in Canada.

And women account for a large majority of this increase in “labour input.” A study done last year by the economics team at RBC estimated that the rise in female labour force participation since the early

1980s has boosted Canada’s GDP by more than $130 billion.

Women today comprise approximately 48 per cent of the labour force, up slightly from 46 per cent in 1999 but significantly higher than their 37 per cent share back in the mid-1970s. Men are still more likely to be employed, but the male/female labour force participation gap has narrowed over time. On current projections, more than half of all the jobs in Canada will soon be held by women.

Among women aged 15 and over, approximately six in 10 were employed in 2013; in 1976, the comparable figure was just 42 per cent. The predominant demographic trend of population aging that is starting to weigh on overall labour force participation is affecting both genders, so the proportion of all women holding jobs will edge lower as the country

becomes greyer. But women’s contributions to Canada’s workforce and its economy should continue to grow over the next 10 to 20 years.

Where do women work? Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey reports that they are most likely to be employed in three broad occupational clusters: sales and service occupations (27.1 per cent), business, finance and administration (24.6 per cent) and education, law, and government/community services (16.8 per cent).

But despite gains in educational achievement, many working women hold relatively low-paying jobs. This exerts downward pressure on average compensation for female job-holders collectively; it also explains the residual male/female difference in average pay. A significant number of the 20 most common jobs for women fall in bottom third of all occupations ranked by hourly pay. There is still work to be done to ensure that women are better represented in the top half of occupations measured by total compensation.

The impressive advances that women are making on the education front bode well for their career and income prospects going forward. Since the early 1990s, women have made up a majority of college and university students. By 2012, a higher percentage of women aged 25 to 44 (75 per cent) than of men in the same age category (65 per cent) had completed a postsecondary education. This contrasts with the situation for older age cohorts: among Canadians aged 65 and over, 35 per cent of women and 46 per cent of men have a post-secondary credential.

The trend of rising female educational attainment is by now well-established. In both Canada and the U.S.,

#ShouldaUsedRedDeer

women represent increasing shares of current university/college students and also of recent graduates in disciplines that often pave the way to relatively high-paying jobs – including law, medicine, dentistry, architecture, business and finance. They have registered smaller gains in engineering and computer-related fields, but here too women are making inroads. A large body of data shows that girls generally out-perform boys in elementary and secondary school, and this seems to be carrying over to the university and college level. In the language of economics, women are building up their “human capital” at a faster pace than men.

There are some areas of education and training where women still lag.

One glaring example is the skilled trades. These are among the occupations that offer pathways to good jobs and the kind of middle-class standard of living that now seems to be out of reach for most young adults lacking any type of post-secondary qualification. According to Statistics Canada, women make up just 3 to 7 per cent of enrolments in registered apprenticeship training programs in the construction, electrical, industrial/ mechanical, metal fabricating and motor vehicle and heavy equipment trades.

That’s not good enough. Employers, educators and unions need to do more to encourage young women to consider skilled trades occupations and to create a supportive environment for those who choose to follow this route.

Rimbey Kinsmen looking for donors for skateboard park TREENA MIELKE SPECIAL TO SYLVAN LAKE NEWS

After initially denying a request from Rimbey Kinsmen to build a $400,000 skateboard park, Ponoka County Council has come up with a $40,000 donation for the park.

Reeve Paul McLauchlin said the county is being more tight fisted about donations as it has plans to put several million dollars into infrastructure in the coming year which will take a huge chunk out of the 2015 budget.

“We are definitely supportive, but we are pulling back on our donations,” he said.

McLauchlin said the county is looking at spending between seven and nine million dollars on infrastructure next year and really need to keep a close eye on their expenditures.

“We are looking at really expensive road development,” he said.

“And we have a million dollar bridge to build on (Hwy. 771).”

The $40,000 will help the Kinsmen Club reach their goal of $140,000 needed to match the Community Facility Enhancement Program grant they want to apply for, but leaves them scrambling to find more donations.

“It sounds like the county might help us

DO YOUR

PART

next year, as well. But right now we are trying to look for other donators and sponsors. We need money,” said project chairman Allen Adam.

A town meeting has been tentatively scheduled for Oct. 1 at the community centre and a conceptual drawing of the park will be shown at that time.

As well as the county’s donation of $40,000, the town has donated land worth $160,000 and CanlineGazelle’s Group of Companies has added $3,000 to the pot.

The county has donated $40,000, the town donated land worth $160,000, and Adam said the Kinsmen plan to hold a Christmas fundraiser with a comedian and ventriloquist.

The Kinsmen were hoping to begin the skateboard park next spring and have utilized the services of New Line Skateparks Inc. to build it.

The town has provided land on the south side of the Lions Park for the park.

Funding for the original skateboard park, which was removed as it had become a safety hazard was provided by the Lions Club and community lottery funds.

We are Canada’s largest member-owned utility and our commitment is more than a promise.

EQUS has been providing quality electrical services to rural Alberta businesses, farmers, developers and residents for over half a century.
