Accompanied by about 25 church family friends from Crowsnest Pass supporting her, Rev. Nicky Keyworth travelled to Calgary to participate in a memorable ceremony where she, along with four others, became ordained as a priest.

For Rev. Keyworth, becoming fully ordained as a priest in the Anglican church was a "grassroots calling", an inexplicable need inspiring her to pursue it.

"I felt I needed to do it to be complete," says the 74-year-old. "We all have different things that we feel drawn towards. This has been my life's journey.

It has been a long journey and I am just full of joy."

Rev. Keyworth is now serving in a joint ministry at the Grace Anglican United Church in Blairmore. Rev. Janni Belgum is the full time minister at the church and Rev. Keyworth will be preaching monthly and preside at the eucharist as needed.

The ordination service took place on April 8 at the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer in downtown Calgary before a gathering of friends, family, clergy and the bishop of Calgary, Greg Kerr-Wilson, who ordained the five individuals.

"It was the most incredible experience. It was absolutely amazing," says

Rev. Keyworth. "All throughout the service, there was beautiful music and hymns."

Rev. Keyworth has had a life-long involvement in the church.

"I was raised as an Anglican and I went to an Anglican school, so I was reared in the faith. I was a nurse for 30 years and then I felt a call to the ministry," she says.

In 2003, she was ordained a vocational deacon.

Now, as a fully ordained priest, Rev. Keyworth can preside at the eucharist and officiate at weddings. She will retain her other duties assisting Rev. Belgum at services, conduct at funerals and

perform pastoral visiting.

Rev. Keyworth took seven years of theological training by distance education and completed various courses learning about the Old Testament, the New Testament, ethics and the history of the church.

In between that time, she cared for her husband Palmer, who sadly passed away in July 2017. She says Palmer was "absolutely thrilled" with her decision to pursue ordination.

"He always supported me right from the start," she says.

The Grace Anglican United Church is located at 13307 20 Ave. in Blairmore.

This week we feature Courtney Cann, Dream Builder Life Coach / The Freedom Journey My Story Although I have been blessed to live in many places around the world, I am a proud native of the Crowsnest Pass, born 31 years ago in the old Blairmore hospital. What a journey it has been! The story of my life revolves around a belief I have had since I was a child, which is that every person can make a difference in this world. As a young adult, I began to idolize people like Craig Kielburger, who founded an NGO called ME to WE (www.metowe.com) at age 12! I wanted nothing more than to spend my life working in orphanages around the world.

But something even better happened. I became a teacher, which allowed me to share my childhood

belief in classrooms across the globe. My career as a teacher ultimately led me to pursue my passion to become a Life Coach. I plan to write a book about becoming a millionaire by age 40 and dream of being a guest on Ellen! I like double black ski runs and would eat my weight in Southern BBQ if I could.

My husband Braden and I also own and operate H o m e C h e k C N P (www.homechekcnp.net) and are the proud parents of Mikaela and Hana (our pup).

My Passion of Helping People Transform Their Lives My mission is to help people discover who they are and transform their lives into ones that are driven by purpose, excitement and aliveness. I offer two amazing workshops, The Vision Workshop and Taking Back YOUR Story (with Jody Peebles). In ad-

dition to running workshops and doing public speaking, I do private and group life coaching. Behind the scenes, I am working diligently on a project called The Freedom Journey. It is my own personal pursuit in discovering how to work less, play more, and feel HAPPY, ALIVE and ALIGNED with my purpose. You will be able to follow me on my blog, YouTube channel and social media platforms as I use myself as the “guinea pig” to figure out how to have time and money freedom, amazing health, a career that I love, REAL happiness and love for myself. I share these adventures and findings with my followers to help them create lives they LOVE living.

recipe corner Fire up the grill for fresh veggies Vegetables are more versatile than many people may know.

Steaming or sautéing vegetables might be among the most popular ways to cook veggies, but grillmasters know that it’s not just main dishes that taste great when cooked over an open flame.

As the following recipe for “Charred Green Beans with Lemon Verbena Pesto” from Karen Adler and Judith Fertig’s “The Gardener & The Grill” (Running Press) can attest, grilled vegetables make for simple yet satisfying side dishes.

Charred Green Beans with Lemon Verbena Pesto

Serves 2 to 4 Green Beans 11⁄2 pounds slender green beans 2 teaspoons olive oil Lemon Verbena Pesto

1 cup fresh lemon verbena leaves (substitute fresh lemon balm leaves) 2 garlic cloves 1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1⁄4 cup pine nuts or English walnuts 1⁄2 cup olive oil Fine kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Prepare a hot fire in your grill.

Toss the beans with olive oil and place in a perforated grill basket or wok set on a baking sheet.

For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese, and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree. Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisptender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1⁄4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto or to taste.

It may be a slow start to spring, but the bears we share our landscape with are beginning to wake up and it's time to start being aware of their activity.

Although until now, evidence of bear activity in the area has been minimal – only one source of grizzly bear tracks west of Coleman – CNP BearSmart Association vice president Dellrae Sharpe says it's time for both homeowners and outdoor recreationists to take proper measures against bears.

"We all tend to get a little complacent over the winter so we have to start getting into those habits again, like remembering that garbage shouldn’t be put out until the morning of garbage day, being cautious if we had bird feeders and pet food out," says Sharpe.

So far, CNP BearSmart has had no sighting reports of bears in the community.

"As our weather improves, we’ll start to see more activity. So far, it’s a pretty cold and snowy spring so there hasn’t been very much evidence of bears awake, but that can change overnight," says Sharpe.

At spring time, grizzly bears usually come out of their dens before black bears, who tend to stay closer to their dens, especially female black bears with cubs.

For outdoor recreationists, packing the good ol' can of bear spray is key.

"The bears have been hibernating all winter, they’re hungry, sows may be aggressive if they have cubs, so just being aware that they’re starting to wake up and you need to be careful," says Sharpe.

The CNP BearSmart Association is beginning to ramp up their activities after a lower presence

during the winter months when bear activity was meager.

On April 21, they are holding a volunteer information evening to recruit new members and inform the public about their activities.

"Even though bears are still sleeping, things are really starting to get going for us with our education programs and

summer where volunteers help the disabled or elderly pick fruit off their trees before it rots, acting as a dangerous attractant.

This works in tandem with a new project started last year where, using GPS coordinates, BearSmart marks all the fruitbearing trees in the community. The information gathered will pinpoint areas that need to be

seeking and training new volunteers. The more volunteers we can get to help and provide this program within the community, the better," says Sharpe.

CNP BearSmart is looking for volunteers to take on a variety of roles.

Education is a fundamental function of the association.

They administer bear awareness training and information sessions for the public, but also the private sector and government agencies, and have a presence at various trade fairs and markets.

"Last year, for example, we did awareness training for Teck and for conservation officers with Alberta Environment and Parks. People are becoming more aware that we live in a beautiful part of the province, but we live in the mountains and wildlife lives here as well.

We need to be educated on how to best coexist together," says Sharpe.

Volunteers also act as the eyes and ears for Fish & Wildlife officers, noting and investigating any bear activity.

CNP BearSmart runs a variety of programs, like their apple picking program near the end of

monitored and formalize information about the attractants in the area. The data collection began last summer and will be continuing this year.

"We hope that it can overlap with bear sightings and bear movement in and around our community. We'd like to see if there is a correlation between attractants and where the bears are moving so that we can make proactive changes in our community," says Sharpe.

Through their bear-resistant garbage bin demo program, CNP BearSmart has 25 bins to loan out to community members who are not able to afford purchasing one and are in a particularly problematic bear area.

Bear-proof bins can be purchased locally from Lost Creek Services for $275 plus tax and while the initial price tag may seem daunting Sharpe says that it is a highly effective tool for keeping communities safe from bears.

The CNP BearSmart information evening will be held on Saturday, April 21 at 7 p.m. at the Hillcrest Fish & Game Hall, 22802 8 Avenue in Hillcrest.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Are we “Spiritual” or “Religious” Often I hear people say that they are not religious, but they are spiritual. Some say that they are atheist while others simply view this as a taboo subject. My beliefs are my own business, they say. All power to them, but I happen to have a great interest in the subject, and I look forward to learning what I can about people’s beliefs. I am not interested in being converted, but at some point, I became interested in how “beliefs” actually influence the material life. My mother used to say “you believe what you want to believe.” People at church often told me what I am expected to believe, apparently if I want to belong to the church. I believe what I want to believe and I learn all I can about the ways others believe.

They should have the same right.

I happen to feel in the depth of my heart that the word “believe” is not the same as the word “know.” If I know something, why would I have to believe it? If I believe that my Ford truck can fly like a helicopter, it just doesn’t. It seems to me that a lot of people around me identify as spiritual since, in their minds, they know that there is a God, but they can’t accept the things that they are told that they must believe God is. In my opinion, they are simply honest with themselves. Some of those folks actually dig in deeper and in the process, discover all kinds of truths that are not part of our mainstream religions, at least not the most popular ones, which make up the majority.

Most people in our past followed the religions of their parents and kept any questions or doubts to themselves.

When in Rome, you do as the Romans do. If your religion, for example, said that you should dress in some manner, you did it unless you moved to some country where it was frowned upon. We like to be unique, but mostly in ways that will benefit us. When I was a child, it was common to see nuns in their habits, priests wearing long black robes, religious Jews with top hats and twisty sideburns and so many more items that identified people with some religions. You don’t see it anymore. Actually, it is impolite these days to ask about someone’s faith. Yet, it is acceptable for people to declare that they are “spiritual.”

I began seeking knowledge about spirituality in my younger days, way before internet and computers. It is amazing how much easier it is to get information nowadays. I believe there is power in prayer and here is proof. I prayed to be able to learn more and faster, and now I can. I also spent a lot of time visiting a variety of places of worship and talking to people of various faiths. One thing is becoming clear to me. The next step in evolution is not going to be physical, but spiritual. There are lots of hints about this in the bible, many religious stories and even songs, yet we have been ignoring messages for generations.

One of the more interesting views is that of Dr. Bruce Lipton, but there are many. He used to teach medicine in universities and discovered that stem cells could grow into muscle, bone or fat depending on the environment they are in.

As the years went by, quantum physics came about, epigenetics was discovered and computing power exploded. Now, after 50 years of investigating, he is talking, and writing, about spirituality. All his studies led him to conclude that love can lead thought and thought creates reality. Spirituality, in his opinion, shapes physicality. It is easy to say, but very hard to prove. If you listen to one of his more recent lectures, it is almost easy to deduct the power of spirituality scientifically.

Another great modern thinker was Allan Watts. Originally a minister, he focused on the idea that we are made in the image of the creator, therefore, go on creating. He used to have a popular radio show in the 60s and died in 1973. By using far east religions and biblical quotes that were not popular in the west, he was able to prove that spirituality is the answer to our most dangerous threats. Watts is a very highly educated Englishman and it takes concentration to follow.

Another great spiritual thinker to check out is Pope Francis, the current leader of the Catholic Church with over a billion followers. He, more or less, separates his thinking from the highly politicized religious teachings of the past and talks about the spirituality that birthed Christianity.

There are many, including Catholics, who dispute his philosophy but mostly because he is bad for business. Mainly he is warning that if we don’t change, there may be no one left to change. I agree full heartedly. In my lifetime, the world lost some 70 per cent of species, botanical plus biological, and the sixth great extinction is in motion.

What remains is to figure out how to reverse the monster we unleashed. Should it be through religion and “our prayers and thoughts are with you,” through physical, political action or by using spirituality and the power of God in us? My approach is, do it all. Do what we can with the material world by taking what we need and leaving the rest, and welcome the spiritual revolution that is taking place, as a normal step in our evolution. We humans have worked hard to develop scientists and spiritual thinkers over thousands of years. Let's use their knowledge, which is useless unless we pay attention to it.

Editorial and Opinions the heartBreak of Death It’s late at night on day two of my holiday with my three boys and they are sleeping after an exhausting day conquering Disneyland, when I open up the news and see the tragedy of Humboldt.

In the blink of an eye, peoples’ lives are irrevocably changed. I could feel the heartbreak in the article, the heartbreak of a nation.

My boys are hockey players. There were a number of times they got on a bus and went to games. I was always lucky enough that either myself or Lyle were able to go with them. Even at the AA level, we were allowed to go with our kids.

After my brother died, my family changed, and not in good ways. When I was in high school, I wasn’t allowed to drive with my friends in their cars. My mom was terrified that I, like my brother, would die as a passenger in a car. My mom kept close tabs on me throughout my teenage years. If I was a few minutes late checking in, my mom would have full-on panic attacks. It was an awful way to grow up, but as I’ve become a mom, I understand where her mindset was. She was terrified something would happen to me.

I can’t imagine the anxiety she went though as she tried her best to give me a relatively normal life after such a huge loss.

When I decided to have kids, I always said I would have three because if something happened to one of them, they wouldn’t be left an only child. I know it’s a morbid way to think, but that’s my normal.

The country will never get over the tragic loss of these young men, their coaches, trainers, staff and driver. It will go down in history as one of our great tragedies.

What it does do is make sure we take account of what we have and how quickly it can be taken from us. I grew up with loss, so I’m very cognizant of appreciating my kids every single second of every single day.

They know I’m a freak about them driving with people, whether it’s a short or long trip. I give them freedom, but they know the expectations I have about keeping in touch and letting me know they are safe.

When you deal with tragedy, it’s really a loss of our innocence. We as humans think we are in control, and it’s situations like last week that show us that we are merely cogs in a big machine called life. Some get the luck and don’t face this type of tragedy and others get it firsthand.

So after reading the news article, I got out of bed and kissed all three of my boys on their foreheads and thanked God for another day with these amazing souls I was given the privilege of raising.

It’s something I usually do on the regular but that night, with sadness in my heart, the kisses were extra long.

That’s the way I see it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The domino effect of government plans and subsidies Dear edior; My wife and I had the chance to attend AltaLink’s “workshop” on April 10 at the Heritage Inn. Organized by good well-meaning folks from AltaLink and the Alberta Electric Systems Operator (AESO), refrred to as “The “Ice-O”. I’d heard that term before, but never really understood the acronym. So after some preliminaries and some great Nanaimo bars and coffee, it wasn’t long before the topic of which type of power poles did we like came up.

Hmmmm. Interestingly, many who came to the workshop, like ourselves, were just trying to make some sense of the process, location of the line perhaps, but many had a basic question: Was this new line/lines even necessary? So it seemed that what type of pole was a little ahead of itself . Then we all did the classic sticky note exercises. You know how it goes... Just put down any thoughts or concerns, ideas, whatever comes to mind and the dozens of AltaLink folks will gather them and summarize the “collective thought.”

Well, amazingly, it seemed enough folks had

the big question... Do we need this line? So a smaller group was “whisked” off to Room 215. I have to give the AESO senior guy some credit, he was in the hot seat. Now, for me, I just listened (good exercise) because lots of folks obviously knew their stuff and they grilled the guy pretty well. So I’m listening, trying to make head or tail of the answer to my question. So in my simple mind, I gleaned this much. We do have enough capacity in the existing lines, but since the NDP has made a lofty decree that a high percentage of our power must be “green”, and they and other political parties have chosen to subsidize wind power (and no doubt solar power), then AltaLink has been asked to construct new lines for “when” all the new wind farms/solar farms get built! And to connect to the “big line” to the west.

Interesting, eh!

Lots of interesting comments made by the folks. One that was dear to everyone’s heart was that the consumer/taxpayer pays for all this and how much higher will our line distribution/fixed charges become on our

Bricks & Bouquets

monthly power bills? One guy said afterwards, “...will I see the day I have a $200 charge monthly BEFORE I even flick on a light switch?” Another interesting comment made was the fact that this “green” wind energy needs to be backed up by conventional power in case the wind quits blowing for two or three days.

Hmmmm. There is a “kicker” eh. We’ve all heard that the cost of power in Ontario is through the roof. Due to, again, government intervention and subsidies.

When will we learn? And now governments don’t need to be able to afford these stupidities, they just borrow more money and increase our deficits.

Leave the debt to the taxpayer to cover.

I’d suggest we all listen to the sound science that the newer coal-fired electrical plants, combined with natural gas, have very acceptable emissions. They burn clean. Seems we need them as a backup for the no wind and cloudy days anyway! Also interesting, although I didn’t completely understand, is the shuffle of power back and forth between Alberta and B.C. Someone joked that

these powerlines are sort of like pipelines! At least that caused a good chuckle in the room.

So once again, it seems like we are often kept in the dark. No pun intended! And always too busy working to have time to try and figure some of this stuff out.

Now, I don’t pretend to completely understand this powerline “thing”, but thanks to some smarter folks, I’m a little wiser. So for sure this thing is way beyond what kind of power poles I like.

Although, I did like the funky metal ones! I wonder what they cost...

So in summary, some great folks from AltaLink and AESO, just doing what the government is asking them to do, but they are now “taking the heat” at these workshops.

Unfortunately, not the government who, like Ontario, really haven’t done a great job in figuring anything out. They just tell us the sky will fall because of big bad coal use and they don’t tell us all the facts.

And like one guy at the end said, “we just don’t believe you anymore.”

John MacGarva, the “old logger” (Oh yeah, the NDP told you logging was bad, too)

AltaLink hold workshops for feedback Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Transmission Development discussed AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

AltaLink hosted two community workshops on April 10 and 11 to explain and receive public feedback on the new Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Area Transmission Development project.

AltaLink has been directed by the Alberta Energy System Operator (AESO) to develop 40 to 50 km of new transmission line to connect renewable energy generated in the Pincher Creek area to the British Columbia intertie.

This involves building a brand new substation – called Chapel Rock - somewhere west of Highway 22 and connecting it with one of the two existing substations north of Pincher Creek, the Goose Lake substation or the Castle Rock Ridge substation.

Originally AltaLink had started a similar project in October 2014 and hosted several workshops. They have since been directed by AESO to desist work on that development and instead prepare an application for this new project, entitled the Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Area Transmission Development.

AltaLink hosted last weekend’s workshop to hear the public’s concerns regarding the project and provide feedback on transmission structure types, but the public was more concerned with the project's raison d'être in the first place, questioning whether such a project is even needed.

According to Darcy Fedorchuk, Vice President, Projects with AltaLink, the need for the project has not changed since 2014, but the approach has, hence the necessity for a brand new development proposal.

In 2015, the provincial government set a target for Alberta to serve 30 percent of electric energy from renewables by 2030, setting a need to increase the capacity of the transmission lines in the Pincher Creek area, which has shown strong potential and developer interest for wind and solar energy development.

With Southern Alberta having some of the best wind and solar resources in the province, this created a need in the area to increase transmission accommodation for the new wind energy coming onto the grid.

"There is about 2,600 megawatts of transmission capacity in this renewablerich area,” says Jerry Mossing, VP Transmission with the AESO. “That is being chewed up and at this rate, it'll be gone in three years.

We're running a competitive auction and we have to plan to accommodate more.

The generation in the south

and east areas often exceeds the local load and that surplus goes back onto the grid. What we see over the long haul is that continues to drive a need for new emission transmission development in those areas.”

The AESO currently has 28 applications for wind development projects between the border with British Columbia and Lethbridge, and there is strong evidence towards this trend continuing.

"A day is coming when renewable wind and solar is going to be so cheap that people are going to want to connect. I don't know when that is, but it looks like that's happening,” says Fedorchuk. “Technologies are evolving, getting more efficient and becoming less costly. The fuel supply in Alberta is changing. Renewable and natural gas are expected to increase significantly while coal decreases over the long term.

The costs for both technologies are dropping.”

According to Fedorchuk, the 2014 project was cancelled in response to renewable energy projects not progressing as quickly as the AESO predicted. However, with the government’s Renewable Electricity Program to commit to 30 percent renewables by 2030, this has spurred a renewed surge of development applications and the AESO predicts the system will start running out of capacity by 2023.

That’s why the parameters of this new Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek project have changed.

So in essence, the previous project has been revised and reinvented and refurbished to provide a solution to the prior need in a new way.

“AESO has changed the technical solution to meet the need, so we have a new project. What has changed this time around is the approach that AltaLink is able to take with the project. In order to meet technical requirements, we have new options and things to consider that we weren’t able to consider previously," says Dave.

First of all, after determining from the Chapel Rock to Castle Rock Ridge consultation process that the southern route seemed the most favourable among the public, they determined that a transmission line can connect to either the already-existing Castle Rock Ridge or the Goose Lake substations north of Pincher Creek, as opposed to only the Castle Rock Ridge as was previously planned.

The new project also gives AltaLink the opportunity to complete the project in a phased approach using

milestones, where capacity would be increased when a certain generation amount is reached and once again once a second generation amount is reached.

"You would ultimately still have two circuits, one built in the near future and one built further down the road, based on generation milestones. As more generation comes online in the area, we would match transmission to meet those milestones,” says Fedorchuk.

So as Renewable Electricity Program auctions continue and transmission capacity decreases, it will trigger the construction of one of the two circuits and as that capacity gets used up, it will trigger the second circuit.

This allowed AltaLink to explore different options for transmission structure types that they were not able to explore on past iterations.

On the past project, they proposed the steel lattice double circuit transmission tower. Now, they have the ability to look at building either two single circuit structures or a single double circuit structure.

At the workshop, AltaLink displayed renderings of the various transmission tower options next to existing towers to give relative sale in structure height and width, road allowance and right-of-way width.

To learn more about transmission tower options, to access the online community workshop and to provide feedback, visit letstalkchapelrock.com.

AltaLink expects to file a facility application development with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) by early summer 2019. Installation of the first circuit is expected between 2022 and 2023 and the second between 2027 to 2029.

Concerns From 2014 to 2015, AltaLink liaised with over 400 stakeholders and held eight public events as part of the consultation phase for the Chapel Rock to Castle Rock Ridge project. From those consultations, the public expressed that they would like a potential transmission line to follow existing corridors and linear infrastructure, and concerns about impacts on wildlife and grasslands, visual impacts, project cost, declining property values, the possibility of an underground transmission line and generally questioning the need for project.

Many of these same concerns were expressed throughout last weekend’s workshop.

AltaLink has indicated that while they have con-

sidered an underground transmission, they do not consider it to be a feasible solution. There may be small sections of underground lines, but not en masse. According to Fedorchuk, underground transmission would be up to 10 times more expensive than overhead power lines, has the potential to be more detrimental to the environment, has a much larger work area and underground cables to not have as long of a shelf life as overhead transmission.

Rick, who attended the workshop, expressed that this project worked only to the benefit of the provincial government and at the expense of locals.

"Will ratepayers see a return? We’re going to be paying for this power, but our power bill is still rising," he said.

Environmental concerns were explicitly expressed, and many noted the importance of following existing corridors so as to lessen the disturbance level as much as possible.

“One of my hopes is that they are going to draw up a map showing all the environmentally-sensitive areas so that it's transparent and everyone can see where they are," said Donna.

Another participant was concerned how transmission lines, even developed to linear disturbance, would impact the Rock Creek multi-species wildlife corridor between Burmis and Lundbreck.

Mayor Blair Painter and Councillor Dean Ward with the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass attended the workshop and both saw major flaws in the project, expressing concerns about cost, need for the project and efficiency of renewable energy.

Mayor Painter questioned AltaLink's and AESO's lack of a long-term strategic vision for the energy network in Southern Alberta.

"I've seen a map of Southern Alberta with all the transmission lines and it's a spider web. There is no regard to maintain a corridor. It's as though the quickest and cheapest route is selected," he says. "A 20year plan is not long enough. They should know where all the lines will go for the next 100 years," said Mayor Painter, adding that AltaLink is out of order in the process and should determine a route prior to focusing on structure types.

According to AltaLink, they will compile the input gathered at the workshops and use it when determining routing and structure options. Another open house is anticipated to take place in late spring 2018.

Looking Back

By John Kinnear

Capturing the Crow It is the last remnant of a nappe or large body of rock (thrust sheet) and is referred to as a klippe. It is a mountain that has ancient limestones and shales shoved up over tops of younger rocks from the Late Cretaceous period along the Lewis Thrust Fault. Millions of years of erosion by Allison Creek have left it standing alone, like Chief Mountain, Mount Yamnuska and the Rock of Gibraltar.

It is the mountain that defines this place we call the Crowsnest Pass and one is hard pressed not to drink in its splendor from its commanding place east of the High Rock Range. I defy you to travel east or west past her and not be drawn visually to her magnificent presence.

Her image stays with you always. We use Crowsnest Mountain as a barometer of sorts, as weather patterns move past her or shroud her summit. Snow crowns her most months of the year and clouds stream off her peak, giving her the appearance at times of a volcano. I grew up in her shadow and when I have been away for a time, I find it necessary to revisit her visually to reset my Pass comfort zone.

To capture the Crow is a challenge many have taken up. Studying how light plays off her in the early morning or at sunset can be key. There seems to be two ways photographers have approached presenting her. Either dead-on by herself or as a backdrop to a choice piece of foreground. If she is anywhere in a picture, you immediately recognize from where the shot was taken. So why don’t we examine a few images of the Crow taken through the years by some renowned and local photographers and artists? Each has a story.

What got me started on all this “Crowexamination” was a beautiful photo gifted to me by Betty Walmsley. It is signed on the back by J. L. Kerr, who at one time owned the Chinook Motel (Kerr’s cabins) west of Coleman. It is stamped on the back: “Nicholas Morant – Special Photographer – Canadian Pacific Railway.” Written on the photo’s back, presumably by Kerr, is a note that reads: “Nicholas and Mrs. Morant were guests at Chinook Motel. Taking pictures for the C.P.R., the passenger train would stop so Morant could snap a picture of the coaches with Crowsnest Mountain in the background. One such picture was hung in the station at Montreal.” I believe this is an image of the Kettle Valley Express heading east past the Crow in 1952. Canadian Pacific is running iconic Morant shots every Monday as part of their commemoration of Canada’s 150th anniversary on the Twitter hashtag “MondayMorant.”

Nicholas Morant’s name is synonymous with Canadian Pacific and for 40 four years, he crisscrossed Canada on passenger trains photographing hotels, steamships, trucks, airplanes, oil wells, mines, logging and a myriad of other facets of the CPR. His work is unparalleled and left a remarkable legacy of images from the Great Depression though to the end of steam. His shot of the Crow with time-worn Douglas firs in the foreground is a classic example of balancing a photo.

Another renowned photographer and Swiss alpine guide named Bruno Engler captured yet another ancient Douglas fir with the iconic Crow in the background. Bruno was trained in Switzerland by Hans Ritter and came to Canada in 1939 to join the Swiss mountain guides that had been working in Banff area for CPR since 1899. He was also a trained photographer and his book of photography, of which I proudly own a copy, has dozens of stunning images in it.

What is not known is that Bruno worked at a strip mine in the Pass (probably Grassy) for about four years after the war, as mountaineering is not a full time job. No kidding! He was also a ski instructor here and in Waterton and assisted in creating a ski area here. During his time in the Pass, Engler climbed several of our peaks with another famous climber, Fritz Frei. In 1951, they climbed a difficult new route on the northwest face of the main (north) tower of the Seven Sisters. Can you just imagine standing on that tower looking south at the Crow?

Bruno passed in 2001 and in a 1999 issue of Mountain Heritage Magazine, I found an interview with him where he talked about his Swiss training with a very strict Ritter. In a training climb with Hans, he recalls having dropped his hammer and said: “I dropped a hammer and, oh boy, he got really mad. He grabbed me by the collar and hung me out over the cliff and said, ‘The next time, you are going over with it! A lost hammer could mean your life and your client’s life.’” Gulp!

An artist more closely connected to me and this one-of-a-kind mountain is my adopted daughter Kelly Anne. Kelly studied at the Alberta College of Art in the 1980s and through the years has created a vast array of works in mediums like pen and ink, pastels and watercolour. Her introduction to the Crow left her profoundly affected by its majesty and she quickly learned how much it meant to our family.

She recalls my father telling a story about the Crow from his early days as a Scottish immigrant living in Calgary for a time. Dad was a student at St. George’s school in 1929 and had an arrogant Prussian art teacher whom he never forgot. His last name was Von Valkenberg and one day he had instructed his class to draw "Prevent Forest Fires" posters with some prominent scenery, such as a mountain they had seen, on them. On observing my father's sketch of the Crow, he exclaimed: "Where did you ever see a mountain shaped like that?" and promptly drew a big X through it and said of it: “Utter trash.” I don’t know how many times I have mentally hauled that teacher’s ass out of a car at Bohomolec’s Ranch and pointed north and said, “There it is, right there, Von Valkenberg, majestically guarding the Pass.”

Thus inspired, Kelly created a nice pen, pencil and ink classic Crow that she gave to my father and has since shared high quality copies with some of the family.

It seems that this family thing with the Crow has surfaced in a really big way the last few years. A local photographer that is hopelessly hooked on the Crow is my amazing niece Lisa Kinnear. Lisa has really made a name for herself with her remarkable photos (Bound for Mountain Photography) and will go to any length, day or night, in any kind of temperature to capture images. I teased her recently about the fact that the Crow seems to be everywhere in her studies.

I counted 28 different shots of the Crow on her Bound for Mountain Facebook site.

Images with brilliant Northern Lights framing the mountain, shots with Perseid or Quadrantid meteors streaking by and a breath-taking night shot of Crowsnest Mountain and the Seven Sisters under a blue and purple Milky Way. But it is the backside view (looking south) of this 9,137 foot high peak that is her favourite. On the right of the photo is the Top to bottom: amazing window from Window Mountain and on the left is the craggy Seven Sisters.

As a dedicated Crow watcher, I can tell you I have pointed my camera at the Crow’s palisades more times than I can remember. I recall a special friend and acclaimed photographer Lawrence Chrismas coaching me on shooting her years ago. We were camped at Chinook and to make his point he had me take shots with the late afternoon sun on her face and then again after the sun had set and the light evened out. The difference was stunning and the evenly lit features, many of which were obscured by shadow in the first shot, stood out so much better.

We are truly blessed to live in the shadow of Crowsnest Mountain. She is a unique national treasure that stands alone in her magnificence.

~ The new PLUZ on the block ~ Public input on the draft Linear Footprint Management Plan and Recreation Management Plan for the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills continues until April 26 AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

The Livingstone and Porcupine Hills accommodate the outdoor recreational and industrial activities of thousands of people annually. However, their use has gradually contributed to degradation on the landscape that threatens ecosystems, wildlife and habitats.

For this reason, the provincial government has taken steps to reign in and manage the public recreational use on these lands. They have developed the draft Linear Footprint Management Plan and Recreation Management Plan for the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills to establish these regions as Public Land Use Zones (PLUZ) with regulated and monitored activities.

Both Mayor Blair Painter and Councillor Dean Ward were part of the Southwest Alberta Recreation Advisory Group (SARAG), the working group that the government engaged with and sought input from, and this is where a lot of their concerns with the province’s vision and draft plans begin, starting with SARAG membership.

According to Councillor Ward, of the 50-plus participants that were involved, there were only about five municipal representatives, which he believes is an unfair representation of local and public interest.

"Municipal representatives are elected by the general public at large and there was only about five of them in this group,” he says. “The vast majority were representatives of special interest groups.

Getting advice from special interest groups is good, as it gives everybody an opportunity to give their input, but at the end of the day, the people that are elected by the public should carry a lot more weight in making these decisions.”

In the draft Land Footprint Management Plan, the government has restricted motorized use to between 0.4 and 0.6 km of trail per square km depending on zoning. At the SARAG workshops, Councillor Ward says participants were told upfront that there would be a max-

imum of 0.4 km of trail per square km, without the opportunity for input on that topic.

"How do you have a proper trail system when you pre-determined the amount of trail that's going to be in any given area before you even start?

Maybe there are places where 0.4 km makes sense, but maybe there are places where it should have been 0.3 km. That opportunity was never given to the group,” he says.

As a direct hub of access to the LivingstonePorcupine, Crowsnest Pass benefits economically from the motorized recreationists passing through to access the areas. The municipality is surrounded by some prime OHV and snowmobile terrain, even being named Alberta’s top SledTown for 2018 by SnowRiders magazine.

But with the proposed decrease in trails, municipal Council is concerned about the economic impact it will have on the community, worried that OHV and snowmobile users are simply going to recreate somewhere else with more options and less restrictions.

As Councillor Ward explains, OHV users and snowmobilers are the types of recreationists that spend several days in the community, spending money on lodging and local services and amenities. He says the yield from this type of tourist is vastly different than, for example, hikers, who, from his observations, often stay at campsites, pack their own food and generally have a much smaller spending footprint than motorized vehicle recreationists.

"The people that are coming on their quads and ski-dos, they're here for two to three nights, so they're paying for hotels, gas, liquor, fishing supplies, food. They're spending considerable dollars in this community,” he says.

“If the hikers only spend $20, that’s fine because that's $20 we weren’t getting before, but don’t replace $500 with $20 and tell us our economy is getting better.”

Mayor Painter added that consistent multipleday visitation to Crowsnest Pass is what truly affects the economy,

not day trips that yield very little spending.

"The key to successful tourism is to become a destination. Snowmobilers and OHV users view us as a destination. In order to gain economic value, you have to have people staying for a minimum of three days or more. Day hikers don’t do that and are not really contributing to our local economy in the way that destination visitors do," adds Mayor Painter.

But Council's concerns with the plans lie farther than just economic impact on Crowsnest Pass.

While Council is in agreement that the area is in need of some TLC, they believe that by cutting down on OHV trails in the way the government has proposed, it is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, which, in the long run, may result in an exacerbated problem on the landscape than currently exists.

"The scale isn't balanced here. They've taken away the Castle and that wild land area, now they're taking away the Livingstone and Porcupine,” says Councillor Ward. “You're going to squeeze OHV recreation into smaller and smaller areas which is going to cause an effect where they’re going to come back and say, ‘Look at the mess these people are making in this area.’ Well, the reason they're making a mess is because you're jamming so many of them in a small area and the smaller you make that area, of course it's going to be a bigger mess."

Instead, education and enforcement are key solutions to creating a healthy landscape for both the environment and recreationists, something Councillor Ward feels was greatly lacking in the government's priorities.

"The onus should have been on putting good rules in place and having a reasonable number of designated trails and good enforcement by the province,” he says.

“The province has brought forward a lot of good rules over the years, but they've never thrown in the dollars to put the enforcement in place, which basically means the rules are useless. If they had put that enforcement in place 10

years ago, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion today.”

If these draft plans become legislation, Councillor Ward fears for the future of the area and that more regulation is soon to follow.

"Where does it stop?

You've got the Castle

solve it. He also cites poor connectivity between the trails and limited difficulty levels as other elements of concern.

While he acknowledges that protection is needed, he says it doesn't need to be at the expense of cutting trails, which he says can coexist with

for the fish and wildlife habitat and their associated ecosystems.

"I share that concern that the elderly or mobility-restricted people are going to be challenged to have as extensive access as they once did. That being said, they still will have the opportunity to recreate

"The scale isn't balanced here. They've taken away the Castle and that wild land area, now they're taking away the Livingstone and Porcupine. You're going to squeeze OHV recreation into smaller and smaller areas which is going to cause an effect where they’re going to come back and say, ‘Look at the mess these people are making in this area.’ Well, the reason they're making a mess is because you're jamming so many of them in a small area and the smaller you make that area, of course it's going to be a bigger mess."

- Councillor Dean Ward Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Provincial Park, you've got the Castle Wildland Park, you've got Kananaskis Country, and now they're turning [Livingstone and Porcupine Hills] into a PLUZ. Well, 'public land use zone' and 'park' start with the same letter," says Councillor Ward.

According to Bryan Litchfield, president of the Rocky Mountain Trailblazers (RMTB), the government is proposing a 70 percent reduction of all motorized trails. Litchfield and a team of biologists and land management professionals compiled the GPS trail coordinates from OHV clubs that are active in the Livingstone-Porcupine area and overlaid them on a GIS map to determine that number.

Litchfield has helped organize a rally in Lethbridge on Sunday, April 22 to advocate for Albertans who feel they lacked a voice in the draft management proposals.

"The rally is to try and tell the government that recreationists in the area have not been heard and that the process of public consultation was not done with all stakeholders that recreate in the Eastern Slopes," he says.

Litchfield is worried that with 70 percent of trails closed, the situation could become worse than it already is. He reiterates the concern that by jamming a high amount of OHV users on a limited trail network will only exacerbate the problem, not

proper trail building and enforcement.

But according to Joanna Skrajny, conservation specialist with the Alberta Wilderness Association, the problem isn't necessarily that too many unauthorized trails are built or that there are a few bad apples not using the landscape responsibly; the issue lies in the fact that the sheer volume of OHV users is too high for the environment to sustain. Add to that the multitude of trails snaking through area, and severe impacts are placed on watersheds and ecosystems.

"This area has just been a free-for-all for decades. There has been no plan to figure out where things should go and where things should be. This is trying to say, 'Yeah, you're allowed to have moderate trails and motorized recreation, but let's figure out a way that makes sense'," she says.

From a hunter and angler perspective, Wade Aebli, Vice President and Land Use Chair with the Hillcrest Fish and Game Association, says the government has taken the right measures to accommodate users and protect the environment.

He concedes that while this may mean that the elderly population and people with mobility issues may not be able to access areas in the same way, he says that at the end of the day, decisions need to be based on what is best

across the landscape in a fairly broad sense, they just won't have the ability to go where they once drove. That's one of the compromise in this," says Aebli, who was also on the SARAG representing Hillcrest Fish and Game. "At some point, it had to be reigned in."

In the long term, he believes reducing the human footprint will actually have a positive result not only for wildlife and fish populations, but for anglers and hunters as well.

"Because access is not going to be so prolific, I do believe that wildlife and the fishery will benefit due to it becoming more difficult to harvest," he says.

"We won't have the same motorized access to all the places we used to and I view the fact that I will have to work a lot harder to hunt some species as a positive."

The two land use plans are currently in consultation phase from March 27 to April 26, 2018.

A survey is available to complete online until 4 p.m. on April 26. The draft plans and survey can be found on talkaep.alberta.ca/livingstone-porcupine-hillsfootprint-and-recreation-p lanning.

Summer Public Land Use Zone maps with more detailed designation of trails are expected to be available by May 1. Final plan approval is anticipated to occur in spring 2018.

Obituary

STEVE MIKE TARCON 1943 ~ 2018

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Steve Tarcon of Coleman, AB on April 12, 2018 at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. He was 75 years of age.

Steve was a devoted, loving husband, father and grandfather. He was married to his best friend and love of his life, Nancy for almost fifty-five years and resided in Coleman his entire life. In his early days, he worked as a coalminer for ten years before starting CNP Waste Disposal, which he owned and operated for fifty-five years and will be continued by his son, Trevor. Steve built and operated many businesses throughout the Crowsnest Pass including a hardware store, beauty salon, restaurant, motel and mini-storage. Although he wasn’t an active member of local clubs and associations himself, he was a dedicated supporter of many, providing generous donations every year. Steve loved travelling with Nancy and they visited numerous countries together. He also enjoyed time spent with close friends, but most cherished to him was the many special dinners and celebrations held surrounded by his family. Steve will be remembered for his generosity, sense of humour and contagious laugh.

Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his beloved wife, Nancy Tarcon of Coleman, AB; his devoted children, Trevor (Riva) Tarcon of Coleman, AB and Sherryl (Brett) Gehring of Okotoks, AB; his precious grandchildren, Ryan (Jade) Tarcon, Brandon Tarcon, Corby Tarcon, Ashlyn Gehring and Kalan Gehring; his cherished great grandson, Leo Tarcon; his dear brothers, Joe (Joy) Tarcon of Winfield, BC and John (Vera) Tarcon of Bellevue, AB; as well as his extended family and many friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, Myrtle and Andrew Tarcon of Coleman, AB. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the CNP Health Foundation (P. O. Box 455, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca).

16 – Crowsnest PAss HerALD – Wednesday, April 18, 2018

Pastor’s Pen After Easter You might think that Christmas is the biggest celebration in the church, really it is Easter. The time of the first “Easter” it was a confusing, despite the hints in the gospels that Jesus would rise again. In the gospel of Mark, the women who came to the tomb found it empty, fled, amazed and confused. Matthew’s gospel is similar but the women do find the disciples, who then also encounter Jesus.

In the gospel of Luke is similar again with additional stories. The gospel of John has only Mary Magdalene coming to the tomb, finds the stone rolled away, and then runs get help. Coming back encounters a “gardener” who proves to be Jesus.

There are more storeis but what this says to me is that this first Easter was at the least, confusing. We do not know the circumstances of the writing of these different gospels but we do know that they were at different times and situations.

Nevertheless all the gospels have Jesus crucified, a penalty given only by Roman authorities and testify to an empty tomb.

The disciples hardly knew what happened! They had to take stock of what they had experienced and remembered to try to give voice to this Easter happening. In our day our Christian celebrations are more uniform. We've had 2,000 years to think about what did occur and what that meant. In this day Christians do continue to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, giving thanks and praise to God through prayer and singing to try to live God's love shared in Jesus. In the days to come we Christians will be thinking about the various meanings of this event and transformation offered to us all.

Firefighters visit Kids Kollege The Crowsnest Pass fire department came to Kids Kollege to teach students how to call 911, the stop-drop-and-roll fire extinguishing method, the importance of knowing where the exits are and that firefighters may look scary in their specialized suits, but they’re all just regular people in protective clothing that want to keep the community safe. Kids got a chance to try on helmets, check out the fire truck, hear the sirens, play with the firetruck lights and spend some time learning from the firefighters.
