The annual Bunny Bonspiel hopped into play over the Easter long weekend. Hosted by the Crowsnest Curling Club, the Bunny has been running since 1947 and receives teams from all over Alberta. “It was fantastic. We had a lot of activity with the draws and everybody participating has been very generous,” says Bunnyspiel co-chair Teresa-Jane Snider. This year, there were 25 women’s teams and 28 men’s teams participating. The Bunny Banquet and Dance had musical entertainment provided by the Suit Jacket Society and was catered by Country Encounters. The Bunny was co-chaired this year by Angela Mathieson and Snider.

Council updates: correction, cannabis, highway, beautification ANNA KROupINA Pass Herald Reporter

Correction: Crowsnest Pass Hospital In a Council update article published on February 28, the Pass Herald reported that there is no surgeon on staff. However, Dr. Bertus Rietsma with the Crowsnest Surgery and Vein Clinic is a surgeon living locally who provides surgical services at the Crowsnest Pass Hospital. According to Dr. Peter McKernan, chief of staff at the Crowsnest Pass Hospital, Dr. Rietsma is a full-time,

on-call general surgeon and offers a full slate of general surgery, including C-sections and appendix surgery.

Dr. McKernan adds that the hospital has recruited the previously needed anesthetist position and does not require any more family doctors, but is in the market for a GP surgeon to complement current staff and plans for future retirement.

Cannabis bylaw Council passed first reading amending the

Land Use Bylaw to define and regulate cannabis retail and production within the municipality.

Council also passed a motion stating that "the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass supports the cannabis sector and encourages the growth of the industry in our community through the development of production, processing and retail sales. The municipality would also assist any recruitment of valued workers for this new rural sector."

The federal government is expected to legalize recreational use of cannabis this coming summer of 2018. As such, Council is taking proactive measures to develop a framework to accommodate the changes that would take place.

The draft bylaw designates the Sentinel Industrial Park as a new "C-4 district", which is a district where cannabis production facilities are

permitted.

The draft bylaw details minimum distances that cannabis retail sale areas must be from certain institutions. Specifically, cannabis retailers must be a minimum of 100 metres away from provincial healthcare facilities, public parks, public recreation facilities and liquor stores. They must be a minimum of 200 metres away from schools and child care facilities, and a minimum of 300 metres away from other cannabis retailers.

These separation distances are recommended by the province.

A public hearing will be scheduled prior to second and third reading of the bylaw.

Highway 3 intersections & speed zones Council received correspondence from Alberta Transportation with a positive response to Council’s request to implement various safety measures along Highway 3.

Alberta Transportation indicated that at this time, they are willing to move forward with several speed zone changes along the Highway 3 corridor, which includes: extending the 50km/h zone east to include the Servus Credit Union entrance, reducing speed to 50km/h through the Frank Slide and extending the 60km/h zone west past the Volker yard to the top

of the hill.

Alberta Transportation also recognized the merit in several traffic light additions and route changes along Highway 3, but stated that implementing these elements is dependent on funding availability.

Specifically, Alberta Transportation agreed that traffic signals are needed at the intersections of Highway 3/Highway 40 in Coleman, Highway 3/129 Street in Blairmore and Highway 3/213 Street at Bellevue/Hillcrest. They also supported the request to provide a left turn lane at the access to Frank and a bypass lane for traffic continuing east.

Community beautification Following the falling through of the fish sculptures along the pool fence project, Council re-issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for public proposals on beautification projects.

They received one proposal from the Crowsnest Pass Creative Minds Group, the same collective that had proposed the fish sculpture project.

In the new RFP, the Creative Minds Group proposed a project to paint a mural of crows on the water tank along the road leading up to the Pass Powderkeg Ski Area.

“Currently, the water tank is a non-descript concrete structure that sits forbiddingly among the

tress along the busy ski hill roadway in an area that has become a prime destination for recreationists. What better way to welcome those visitors by transforming the visual appeal of this structure and shaping one of our large public spaces with the use of colour and design?” indicated the project proposal.

The group received a grant from the Alberta Foundation of the Arts that they were willing to put towards this project, but the amount in question and conditions were not presented in their proposal to Council.

Council voted to table the decision on the project until the April 24 council meeting and requested that the Creative Minds group produce a project budget and clarification on the details of the grant they received.

Councillor Lisa Sygutek recommended that discussions about community beautification be incorporated in Council’s coming Strategic Planning discussions.

“I don’t think we know what we want. I think that the concepts that we’re getting are great concepts, but I don’t think we know where we want to be going with our beautification process. We keep coming back to the table with new ideas,” she said.

Councillor Marlene Anctil agreed that a clearer course is required on what direction the municipality wants to take with community beautification and added that the entrance signs to Crowsnest Pass should be first priority “Everybody coming in sees those entrance signs and they are a disaster,” she said.

Council had allocated $15,000 in the 2018 budget to community beautification, with an additional $1,000 donation from Riversdale Resources.

Boston Marathon, Round 2 for 60-year-old pastor AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

He says he's not "the marathon man", but within the past five years alone, 60-year-old Al Robinson has completed four marathons, soon-tobe five with his next one coming up in a few weeks.

Robinson, local pastor at the Crowsnest Community Christian Centre and sales manager at AustriAlpin North America, has spent the past several months training for his second go at the United States’ oldest continuously running marathon.

The first time Robinson ran the Boston Marathon was in 2013, the year of the bombing that killed three people and injured hundreds. He and his wife were just moments away from being in the wrong place at the wrong time when the bombs went off.

"I'm so grateful that we weren't injured but it wasn't traumatic personally for us,” says Robinson. “Obviously we feel compassion for others who went through that terrible situation.”

Now, five years later, Robinson hopes to conquer the Boston Marathon once again with a better finishing time.

The Boston Marathon is one of the few marathons that participants are required to qualify for and every five years, would-be contenders over 60 years old are granted an extra 15 minutes on top of the 3 hours, 40 minutes to

make the cut.

Robinson ran – and successfully qualified – in the 2017 Edmonton Marathon last August.

After a small break over the winter and the holidays, Robinson got back into training in February and since then, has been training steadily, hitting the treadmill at the Crowsnest Pass Weightlifting Club four times a week for a total of 50 to 60 km a week.

There are a few critical changes Robinson has instilled in his training regime that he hopes will make a significant improvement on his finishing time of 4 hours and 1 minute when running the marathon in 2013.

The first time around, Robinson admits he "hadn't given a thought" to diet.

“My family knows that I love nachos, popcorn and ice cream,” he laughs.

This time, he has received advice from a nutritional consultant and has stuck to a healthy diet… with the occasional nacho cheat meal.

When he ran the Boston Marathon in 2013, Robinson pulled his IT band – the ligament connecting the outer thigh and knee - only 10 km into the race, which he suspects is due to the fact that he had never trained outside before. All of his training was done on a treadmill.

So this time, he’s making sure to hit the pavement outdoors.

Robinson's enthusiasm for marathon run-

ning sparked at 49 years old, almost as an afterthought, when his family was running in a local race.

And that was it… He had caught what he calls “the running bug.”

"I ran 5-k races next summer, then 10-k races, and when you’re in the race, there’s always that draw to the next one,” he says. “I remember jokingly saying to my sisterin-law, who is the same age as me, ‘Hey, why don't we run a marathon when we hit 60?’”

So what inspired a nearly 50-year-old man to take up marathon running as a hobby?

The health aspect certainly isn't lost on Robinson.

“One, I know it’s healthy. You get up in age and you have to keep moving for things to work well,” says Robinson. “Two, I love competition with myself. I’m not running for a gold medal, but there’s that push. And with something like the Boston Marathon, I'd call it a real herd high. It's like going to a baseball game

and there's 30,000 people cheering for the same thing. It's the same thing in Boston. There's 32,000 of you, you've all qualified, you’ve got something in common. It's a team thing and very fulfilling and energizing.”

Although he's set a personal goal of finishing his upcoming 2018 Boston Marathon in 3 hours and 45 minutes, time ultimately isn't a deciding factor in his sense of accomplishment.

"Boston is kind of the icing on the cake in that even if the race didn’t happen, all of the training I’ve done is still so worthwhile and beneficial,” he says.

He hopes to run a marathon in a different city every five years down the line.

The 2018 Boston Marathon takes place on April 16. Robinson will be flying down with his wife, sister-in-law and niece on April 13 to get accustomed to the time difference and spend some time sightseeing this charming New England town.

Editorial and Opinions ~ The Empowered Woman ~ A weekly feature of sharing stories, promoting passions and healing communities Empowered Women is provided by Women Of Canada Eh & The FUSE Movement to share stories, promote passions and bring people in our communities together in support of each other.

This week we feature Lisa Hazlett, artist & business consultant and owner of Attaway Inspired Ltd. My Story I was born in Yeovil, an English town in the district of South Somerset and before moving to the Crowsnest Pass in 2015, I also lived in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Shaughnessy.

I love to sing, create jewellery pieces and do pretty much anything crafty. My sensible side loves to play with numbers and teach people how to improve their business and technical skills. With my family, we love films and have more books than pretty much anyone I know. Throw me a camera and we jump in the truck and go to anywhere beautiful to snap shots and go for walks.

My Passion for Creativity I started making jewellery as a way of creating missing pieces that went with jewellery I loved, when I couldn't find anything in the marketplace to match. I found creating jewellery to be fun and relaxing but never thought of it as anything more until friends, then colleagues and finally strangers started commenting on my creations. Next thing I knew, I was being asked if I could do some custom 'set completion' pieces for others. Soon the creative juices began to flow for new pieces of all shapes, sizes and colours with a passion wanting everyone to have jewellery they could love. New ideas came to mind, everything from buying broken jewellery, or jewellery that was about to be thrown away by thrift and charity shops. Recreating much loved heirlooms and evolving them into a more relevant style. Rebuilding pieces that were broken but not wanting it to be lost in the back of a jewellery box. I always hated this 'throw away culture' so here's my own initiative to recycle and renew. Attaway Inspired began in 2015 when I moved to the Pass and found so many amazing fairs, craft shows and artisan markets close to home which have given me the opportunity to share my passion with others.

I also have unleashed another creative passion, but using the other side of my brain. I offer consulting services to small and medium-sized business owners, from teaching them how to keep their books in order, training staff to support them better or finding systems to meet their growing needs. I can help business owners find solutions that are best suited to their needs and within their budget.

Whether I’m helping women feel amazing with my jewellery creations or finding productivity solutions for business owners, making a difference to help others is just a part of my nature.

Women I admire P!nk for always being herself. Meryl Streep for being a groundbreaker, being able to adapt, grow, learn and inspire. Tina Turner, for whatever life threw at her, she never gave up and she loves and supports charities all over the world.

Last Read that I was inspired by I read O Magazine and blog. Oprah Winfrey is another lady that never loses her heart. Her magazines raise people to their highest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An American in Paradise Dear Editor; I grew up in the Chicagoland area years ago. My parents, both Canadian, moved to that area after they were married. When I was a child, my family would visit my grandmother in Lethbridge and during those summers we would visit the Crowsnest Pass. I never thought, back then, that I would be living in this beautiful area. I have found the Pass to be a place of healing and a

place where you could reinvent yourself. I have found lately that after years of doing many things that I did not like to do, I am finally focusing again on what I love to do and that is writing music. As a child, I would hike around the forests near Lake Michigan and play our baby grand piano almost everyday. Now here, in the Crowsnest Pass, I hike in the majestic forests and play my Roland keyboard almost

Pastor’s Pen During the third year of his very busy public ministry, Jesus appeared in the autumn of 29 A.D. at Magdala on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee. The Gospel of Luke 12:1 tells us, “An innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another.” “Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. But He said to him “Man who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist of the things he possesses.” In less that six months time our Lord would be called to fulfill the final and most important part of his ministry on a Roman cross at a place called Calvary. The Prince of Peace had been preaching the gospel of salvation, healing the sick, teaching and working many miracles. He ministered to huge crowds and yet, whenever possible, attended to the needs of individuals on a one to one basis. People were stepping on each other’s feet in order to receive a blessing, a word of truth or just a glimpse of the Savior.

In spite of all of this, as we read the words of the Gospel of Luke, we see a man so spiritually out of

touch that all he could think of was money. He wanted Jesus to waste valuable time on a secular matter. The man was obviously under the control of the world, the flesh and the devil. He needed salvation not arbitration. I hope he came to his senses.

The Gospel of Matthew 10:30 tells us that “the very hairs of our head are numbered”. Yes, Jesus was and is interested in every aspect of human activity.

However, if any man’s only ambition is to acquire the things of the world and has no desire to receive the spiritual abundance Christ has to offer, he will as the saying goes, get nowhere fast. Material prosperity cannot satisfy the needs of the soul. Only a personal relationship with the Risen Savior can accomplish this. Jesus’ greatest desire for humanity is that all may come to Him to find the abundant life of Peace He offers. “For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God didn’t send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16 & 17 Dale Montalbetti Crowsnest Community Baptist Church

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

The perennial Easter Lesson I was six years old, and in the street of my school, there were more horses than cars. The world looked different than it does today, but the human behavior was the same. There was a bigger kid in the schoolyard, and he was loud and very sure of himself. He was dressed better than most of us and was followed around by a group of boys who obviously mimicked his aggressive behavior.

They, the popular group, would go after us, the smaller kids, and show us that they were superior. At times they would physically get into our space and even pushed us asserting their dominance. There was no way to avoid them and no place to hide. Later I learned that I was doing the same towards smaller weaker kids myself, but I don’t like to talk about it. Why would I want to assert my superiority using bully techniques? I don’t know, but I did. I am sorry.

It was only years later that I realized I was doing it.

Jump forward twenty years, and I was at an Easter church service in Calgary. A story from the Bible was unfolding. Here was a person who preached equality and openly opposed the culture of the “winner takes it all.” He was Yeshua*, or Jesus as they prefer to call him here. In a place called Judea then or Israel now, the old established ruling class, consisting of religious leaders and local king, conflicted with the Roman Empire that took over their land and bossed them around. A young Jewish teacher invented what we now call passive resistance and his theory threatened the people in power, both Roman and Hebrew. He taught love instead of selfishness and on the first Easter the rich and powerful executed him. They washed their hands assuming the problem was over but, HE rose again. His movement, named Christianity, was more powerful than the bullies, and it took over. The Roman Empire was undone, and Christianity became the most powerful institution in the world.

Sixty years after my first day in school, again I am faced with the bullies, this time on the world’s stage. The main power, more powerful by far than the Romans ever were, is called the United States of America and it is backed strongly by the previous Empire, the British Empire, now called Great Britain. Now horses disappeared from the picture, electronics and technology are the main force and modern weapons can obliterate all life on Earth with a push of a button. People’s nature remains the same. The powerful Empire is shoving and pushing, challenging the smaller nations for domination, with economic superiority being the coveted prize. The President of America is desperately trying to start a war, anywhere, in order to keep himself in power and become richer than he already is. Again the majority is oppressed, and people pray for deliverance.

History never stops, and with writing, printing, radio, TV and later the mighty internet, people are aware, en masse, that there are solutions to bullying inflicted by absolute power. Every person, even the least educated, is aware of examples from the past where oppression was fought against and defeated. The Hebrews were freed from Egypt by a God named “I am,” the Christians took over the Roman Empire, and revolutions decimated some of the greatest kingdoms.

We now know how the circle of life functions.

First comes the natural bully, assisted by followers who wish to share in his plunder, and they never get enough. Next come some self-sacrificing individuals like Moses, Yeshua, Gandhi, or Mandela and wake the masses of people up. The people become none co-operating and later even physically rebellious. The outcome sooner or later is a transfer of power. Historically abusers and bullies enjoy a relatively short time in leading roles but always lose at the end. The taller they are, the harder they fall. It is not a story; it is history. There is no power on earth which can match the will of the people. Humans are made in the image of God and God, in the long run, always proves to be just.

Take a step into how we view the future, and you get images such as the most popular series Star Wars. There is a dark power which takes over the known Universe. It possesses all the resources, the power, and mighty weapons and there is no possible logical deliverance from its strength and organization. Some oppressed individuals and groups find themselves at a point where they can no longer exist without rebellion, and they are willing to self-sacrifice to gain freedom, which they do. We see it today with all the millions of people participating in protests around the world.

People may fly south for the winter, but the cycle of nature remains the same. There is winter turning into spring, summer follows, and onwards it goes. The controlling bullies gain power, and the people take it back. Like the famous professor Pinker teaches, overall humankind is moving forward. Health is improving; life expectancy is getting longer, and people overall are becoming more tolerant of each other and are learning how to share the bounty that was given free of charge to all who are simply born. *Yeshua (Jesus) is to many believers God and/or son of God.

Looking Back

By John Kinnear

More Than Meets the Eye "Take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time, leave no trace."- caver’s motto It is a sure sign of spring (no pun intended) when one sees those wind-whipped cascading waters pouring down onto the old highway that at one time wrapped around the south edge of Emerald Lake. It used to be that we got to drive by that magical spray on our way past that beautiful green lake before the Emerald Lake Narrows Bridge was put in.

Unbeknownst to myself and probably many others is the fact that this intermittent waterfall pours out of a cave referred to by cavers as Low Sentry. Even more remarkable is the fact that it extends a mind blowing 113.9 meters (358 feet) into Sentry Mountain. How do I know this? Because I talked to the man who investigated the first 36 meters of this ancient bit of karst back in 1997. His name is Ian McKenzie and for many years he was a fearless speleologist: an explorer and mapper of caves in this area.

In a 1997 article written for the Journal of Subterranean Metaphysics, a newsletter of the Alberta Speleological Society (A.S.S.), Ian notes that Low Sentry was first named by cavers from McMaster University who did a lot of cave exploration in the Crowsnest Lake area in the late 1960s. To clarify what they had found, Ian and other A.S.S. cavers decided to sort out the mystery of what McMaster had labeled as Low and Middle Sentry caves. I know, I know. As I write this, it is April Fool’s Day and A.S.S. just seems like an unlikely acronym but it is and I ain’t foolin’.

Ian’s mapping, by body length, was halted at about 36 meters by a water sump. He describes his exploration as a “flat out crawl” and that mercifully there was a spot at the sump where he could turn around. Think about that for a minute. Crawling backwards is awkward and tricky so one likes to be able to see where one is going when one crawls into and out of a hole in a mountain. The next January, in 1998, cavers Reg Desjardins and Jason Morgan got past the somewhat dried up sump to the caves end and on the way encountered a larger more “decorated” passage.

“Decoration”, in caving terms, refers to finding speleothems like stalactites, stalagmites and soda straws.

Potholers have a lot of interesting terms for what they find in caves and in the sketch of Low Sentry, like in all cave maps, they surveyed and labeled them.

In Jon Rollins’ amazing book Caves of the Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountains, one can find the detailed layout of this simple cave. So why don’t I take you on a journey into Low Sentry on paper? ‘Cause it’s safer.

The first item mapped past the sump is called “spider clusters” and that one brought my right eyebrow up! Ian was quick to correct this label as not being spiders but in fact daddy longlegs (Opilionids arachnid) which are more closely related to scorpions (eyebrow up again). It seems that these harvestmen, as they are also called, do like to ball up in caves.

Past this unnerving clutter of arachnids, the next map labels are ‘first duck” (self explanatory) and then “soda straws” and “flowstone.” First duck has 0.3 (metres) written beside it. So when is the last time you crawled down a passage that was a foot high? In a mountain. With spiders behind you and God knows what ahead.

Soda straws grow off the roofs of caves and are really just tubular (hollow) stalactites. Flowstone is formed when carbonates like calcite are deposited out of water on cave walls and are the most common speleothem found in “solution caves.” On the Caving Canada website there is an article on “What is Caving” by Ian that includes a link to cave type definitions. McKenzie describes solution caves as: “karst caves found in rock that is slightly water-soluble such as limestone, dolomite, marble and gypsum. These caves are formed by water finding its way underground through porous rock, chemically and physically eroding out larger passages.”

The highest measurement for height in Low Sentry throughout its length is 1.25 meters (4 feet) and at that location they mapped “moon milk” which is another type of dripstone which is pure white and kind of soft and cloudy looking. Ian described it as looking kind of like cottage cheese and that you could poke your finger in it. The name moon milk (mondmilch) is of German origin and dates back to the 16th century. It was given by a Swiss naturalist to a cave in the Swiss Alps. In medieval times there was a belief that the rays from celestial bodies could condense on earth and that this pure white mineral was petrified moonlight.

(I’m not making this up!)

The end of Low Sentry cave is preceded by a gradual tightening of the passage to less than 0.5 metres and is labeled “too tight” where a second sump was noted. I would have labeled the entrance above the highway too tight and that would have been the end of my exploration! I have no intention of winding up as the meat in a sandwich of stone.

Some of the caves in Sentry Mountain area are much more extensive and are covered in-depth in Rollins’ amazing book. They have intriguing names like Red October, Boon’s

Glittering Ice Palace (Upper Sentry Cave) and Ice Chest.

And of course further south near the Alberta/BC border on the Andy Good and Ptolemy Plateau lie some of the most extensive caves in North America with names like Gargantua, Cleft, Ice Hall and Yorkshire Pot. According to Rollins’ write up the total length of passages in the Yorkshire Pot complex, including all seven connecting caves, is an astounding 13.8 kilometers.

Yes, kilometers!

Directly across from Low Sentry on the north side of Crowsnest Lake lies a cave familiar to all of us. In Rollins’ book it is called Crowsnest Spring and the sketch shows it to be 259 meters long and dropping a depth of 136 meters underwater (see Pass Herald online archives Feb. 17, 2016 – Flow of the Crow Part 1 for more details on the spring and its exploration). I had noticed many years ago, as many others had, that there is another cave about 30 meters higher in elevation off to the east of the source cave.

It is known as Eagle Cave and was the subject of an archaeological dig by the University of Alberta in 1966.

According to a well known East Kootenay area archaeologist, by the name of Wayne Choquette, evidence of saber tooth tiger and giant sloth were found in this cave. He also indicated that some of those unusual perfectly round shale balls (concretions) usually found in the Fernie Formation were found in Eagle Cave. Interesting! Shale balls in a limestone cave. I asked a couple of the visiting members of the Lethbridge Archaeological Society last week, at the Stones and Bones event at the Frank Slide, about them.

No one was sure why, but there is a definite First Nations possibility here.

It will probably surprise you to know that there is yet another cave nearby to the spring. It lies 74 meters in elevation directly above Crowsnest Spring but is not visible from below.

It is known as The Crack and is classified as a fossil overflow for the spring cave below. The term fossil in caving indicates the cave is dry whereas caves that still have flow are called active. It is 97 meters long and descends 75 meters to what is called the air-bell sump. That sump, also called the wishing well, is where it connects to the Crowsnest Spring’s passage. How cool is that?

As I wrote this caving article on Sunday I realized there was a very ironic twist to it. Back in 1998, around April Fool’s Day, I concocted a story about finding blind cave fish in a cave on Hosmer Mountain. I managed to blend enough realism and terminology into that Kokanee enhanced Sunday rambling to fool many readers in Fernie including a wonderful cave explorer and scientist by the name of Dr. Dave McRitchie.

The irony of this story is that this intrepid explorer, who had retired to the Fernie area to search out undiscovered karst topography, eventually was one of those instrumental in the location of what is now identified as the deepest cave in Canada. It was local caver Henry Bruns and his son Jeremy who set up a 2012 expedition that located the cave. It is named Bisaro Anima and last Thanksgiving a Calgary-based team of nine explorers extended its mapping by descending 670 meters in elevation in this 5.3 kilometer-long cave.

Author’s Note: Dr. Dave McRitchie unfortunately passed in 2008. It would have made his heart glad to have been there for the spectacular exploration of Bisaro Anima. For more information on caving, cave safety and the Alberta Speleological Society go to the website: www.caving.ab.ca

Open house for AltaLink's $500-million Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Area Transmission Development Project seeks input on new substation that will connect to existing Goose Lake or Castle Rock Ridge substations AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter AltaLink is holding public information sessions for the proposed development of a new Chapel Rock substation that will connect to the existing Goose Lake or Castle Rock Ridge substations, both located in the Pincher Creek area.

Information sessions will be held in Pincher Creek on April 10 and 11 at the Heritage Inn from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Due to capacity limits of the venue, the public is asked to preregister for the information sessions at www.LetsTalkChapelRock.com by April 6. An online workshop at this address will also be available from April 12 to April 30.

These are the first open house sessions for this project.

"We are at the beginning stages. We're really looking to get input from people and talk to people in the area because they know the land the best,” says Robin Boschman, manager of corporate communications with AltaLink.

“We're really in listening mode to get that feedback from people, to hear what's important to them and what could potentially be a feasible solution for the project.”

This project replaces

the Castle Rock Ridge to Chapel Rock Transmission Project, which AltaLink had proposed and began working on in October 2014. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) had directed AltaLink to suspend work on this project and instead develop a proposal for the Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Area Transmission Development.

“The project to enable the transmission system to bring on the new renewable generation is still needed, but through some of AltaLink’s consultations and feedback from the community, we took a step back to see if there were other options. In this case, we saw that there are two technically viable options and both would work for Alberta,” says Tara de Weerd, public affairs manager with the Alberta Electric System Operator.

There are two components to the new project.

First, the project seeks to connect one of two existing 240-kilovolt substations in the Pincher Creek area – Goose Lake or Castle Rock Ridge – to a new substation - to be called Chapel Rock – which will connect to the 500-kilovolt British Columbia-Alberta intertie transmission line located west of Highway 22 so that the

wind power generated in this area of the province can move throughout the rest of Alberta.

“We've heard from people that this is important to them and the government has a policy to increase the amount of renewables on the system, so this is really to get greener, cleaner energy to the province,” says Boschman.

The second component involves an intertie restoration project, which involves restoring the capacity of the 500-kilovolt Alberta/British Columbia intertie transmission line.

According to Boschman, there are currently no locations for the new substation and no transmission line routes being considered. AltaLink will begin compiling route options following the open house and hopes to present those options to the community later this spring or summer. Then, they will once again engage in a refinement process and host a final open house in the fall or winter 2018. They hope to file an application with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) by spring 2019 and, if approved at that time, the project could be built by 2023.

Connecting to either Goose Lake or Castle Rock

Ridge is equally viable.

The chosen substation depends on which option presents the lowest overall impact. “ We ' re looking to balance a number of factors like impacts to agriculture operations, the cost of the project, visual impacts, environmental concerns, and u l t i m a t e l y, AESO credit photo we're trying to The graphic shows the project area for the Chapel Rock to Pincher find the location with the Creek Area Transmission Development project.

Bantam and Midget Huskies end season on a high note Both teams represent Zone 5 at Provincials

AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

It was teamwork at its finest.

Both the Bantam and the Midget Huskies teams ended up qualifying to represent Zone 5, in the Hockey Alberta Provincial Tournament.

The Provincial tournament is an eight-team tournament with representatives from seven Zones in Alberta plus the host community. Zone 5 is spread out from the BC/Alberta border, north to Okotoks, and east to Bow Island down to the US border.

Huskies Midget team With an overall record this season of 27 wins, 11 losses and 2 ties, the Pincher Creek/Crowsnest Pass Midget Huskies had a successful season. They had played their league games out of the Central Alberta Hockey League (CAHL) and had finished in first place at the end of the regular season with 12 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie.

They just missed out on winning the League Championship banner, as Fort Macleod had edged them out of the best of three series, two games to one.

The Midget Huskies had captured the Zone 5 Championship in midFebruary beating out Fort Macleod and Taber, giving them the opportunity to compete within the Hockey Alberta Provincial Championships hosted in Taber over the March 23 to 25 weekend.

"Our team did very well this year as we put ourselves in situations to succeed. We really grew as a team," says head coach Rory Snider.

"We've got a lot of individual talent on our team and one of our main assets was our speed. We used that for the most part throughout the course of the year, but what we wanted to introduce to our players was team play. The goal was to use each player’s individual skill and combine it with system play. Any time that we played together as a team, we had success. We still have some learning to do in that area, but they took strides in the right direc-

tion."

It was a rough go for the Midgets, when just before the provincial tournament a key player broke his collarbone in game 3 of the League final against Fort Macleod. Shortly after that, the flu bug hit the team during their final tournament, taking down several other key players.

"It was definitely a tournament where if we had been healthy, the competition was right there with us and we would have had a good opportunity to potentially win that tournament," says Snider.

In his 14 years of coaching, this was the sixth time that Snider has helped a team win the Zone 5 Championship advancing the team into the prestigious provincial tournament.

"I've been very fortunate. I have been surrounded by a lot of very good players," he says.

"We've had a lot of success and it's based off the kids determination, the help from the assistant coaches and the people who have supported us."

The Midget team is open to players aged 15 to 18 years old and consisted of five players from Crowsnest Pass and one player from Brocket that joined nine Pincher Creek players.

Huskies Bantam team Representing Zone 5 at Provincials in Drumheller on March 16 to 18 was also the Huskies Bantam team.

"All in all, I thought they did great. We started the season really well.

Just after Christmas, we went through a bit of a dip, but they picked it back up and earned themselves a spot within the league playoffs," says head coach Jeremy Ames.

The team played 15 league games and won 6, lost 8 and tied 1 for a fourth place finish within the CAHL – Central Alberta Hockey League.

The team had lost out in the first round of the league playoffs to Claresholm who was undefeated in league play this season and had captured the league Championship. The Huskies had also fought their way

through three rounds of the Provincial Playdowns, beating two teams that were tiered higher than them within the CAHL in order to solidify themselves as the Zone 5 Champions. The Huskies weren't able to solidify a win in Provincials, but put up a good fight against some very strong teams.

"Any time you can win a Zone 5 championship, it's a big accomplishment," said Midget coach Rory Snider of the Bantam team.

Ames commends the boys for working as a team and overcoming differences in where each of them is from.

"We focused on doing some more set plays and teamwork. It was an interesting mix with the Pass kids and I was wondering how they would all get along, but they came together amazing and it was a lot of fun. It was a really good group of kids," he says.

The Bantam team, open to 12- and 14-year olds, had 18 players in total, with five from Crowsnest Pass, two from Brockett and the remainder from Pincher Creek.

The next season for Crowsnest Pass/Pincher Creek minor hockey will begin in fall 2018.

AUDREY PAINTER May 30, 1930 – March 29, 2018

I need to hear the stories and the tales of days gone past, I need for you to understand these memories must last.

Audrey Painter slipped away in the night on March 29, 2018 after a lengthy stay in the Crowsnest Pass Long Term Care. Audrey was born in Bellevue and was the youngest child of Harry and Marie Kuryluk. She excelled & enjoyed her school years in Bellevue and Maple Leaf even though her family experienced many hardships after the sudden death of her father when she was 4 years of age. After high school, Audrey worked at Haysom’s Rexall Drugs in Bellevue. It was at this time she was introduced to the handsome Fred Painter. They were married on June 28, 1952.

During the early years of marriage, the young couple lived in a small trailer following the oil rigs in central Alberta. Missing her family, they returned to the Pass where they eventually settle in Frank. Audrey was a career woman. She worked as the secretary for the Village of Frank while raising her children. She was well known as the kind smart woman who for years was the Secretary-Treasurer of Blairmore Credit Union until her retirement in 1990. Audrey was an excellent cook and baker. The family was always amazed at the delicious meals she could prepare. She passed these skills onto her children and grandsons. She loved to sew, knit & dabble with computers. She was famous for her toffee & candy apples and would give out hundreds to children, their parents & the neighbors every Halloween. Audrey was predeceased by her husband, Fred Painter in 2014. It is a great comfort to believe this loving couple are together again. She also is predeceased by her parents; stepfather, John Hnidan; sisters Nettie (Albert) Skiffington, Irene (Robert) Thomson; brother Milton Kuryluk; sister-in-law, Beatrice Painter; brothers -in-law, Yarmil Ruzicka & Tom Dogterom; and infant son, Gordon. Audrey’s legacy goes on with her surviving children, Blair (Cathy), Rosemarie (Greg Hood), Shane (Roselyn); her grandchildren, Jordan (Jodie), Joel (Megan), Kalen Hood, Zach, Trystan and Sydney Dusoswa. Her great grandchildren, Brynnlie, Micky & Sullivan, and sisters-in-law Erma Dogterom, Francis Kuryluk & many beloved nieces & nephews.

The family want to express their sincere thankyou for the loving and compassionate care she received by the Long-Term Care Team.

Obituary BONNIE MARGARET PLATT (1939-2018) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mrs. Bonnie Platt, formerly of Fernie, British Columbia and more recently of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. Our beloved mother was called to be with the Lord on April 1, 2018 while receiving care at the Crowsnest Pass Health Centre. She was blessed with 78 years of a wonderful life.

Bonnie was born on October 2, 1939 in Grandview, Manitoba to proud parents, John William and Margaret Laszlo. She was instilled with an appreciation for life’s simple pleasures and the rewards from hard work, the comforts of a loving home and devotion to friends and family. Bonnie blossomed into a graceful and lovely young lady who won the heart of a dashing young man, Robert Platt. Her courtship was full of romance and happiness and on July 11, 1959, they pledged their love in holy matrimony. The young couple was further blessed with three lovely daughters, and later with several grandchildren and great grandchildren who they cherished greatly. Bonnie took an active role in raising her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed spending times outdoors as a family camping and boating. As the years passed, she slowed down a little and took up bingo, knitting and crocheting but her greatest joy was any time spent with her beloved Bob and family – they were the purpose in her life and their love the greatest reward. She was nurturing and kind, resilient and inspirational and her fond memory will remain forever in our hearts.

Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life include her cherished children, Sandra (Charlie) McCormick of West Kelowna, BC, Cheryl (Bill) Woolridge of Kelowna, BC and Paula (Dennis) Brazzoni of Bellevue, AB; her beloved grandchildren, Scott (Amanda) McCormick of Fernie, BC, Stan (Ashley) Yuszko of Elkford, BC, Stephanie (Pat) Keller of Sparwood, BC, Robert (Serena) Woolridge and Thomas Woolridge of Kelowna, BC, Jesse Brazzoni of Coleman, AB, and Branden (Brittany) of Calgary, AB; her precious great grandchildren, Hunter, Ryder and Sawyer McCormick, Jackson Keller and his baby-sister-to-be and Fynnlee Woolridge; as well as her extended family and many friends. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Robert Platt and parents, John & Margaret Lazslo.

The Memorial Service celebrating Bonnie’s life will be held on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Fantin's Funeral Chapel in Blairmore, AB (13461-20th Ave) with the reception and refreshments to follow. Honourary urn bearers are: Stan Yuszko, Scott McCormick, Robert Woolridge, Tom Woolridge, Charlie McCormick, Pat Keller, Jerry Platt and Art Platt.
