Springing into step at the old-time dance

It didn’t matter if you knew the waltz from the polka. What mattered was your enthusiasm and your energy. The Polish Hall in Coleman was packed on Saturday, April 21 for the second annual Dare to be Square Old-Time Dance, with over 80 people in attendance. Award-winning fiddlers Gordon Stobbe (caller and emcee) and JJ Guy and pianist Marlee Heesing had the entire hall up and dancing to upbeat fiddle tunes, melodic folk harmonies and classic waltz melodies. Earlier that day, Stobbe, Guy and Hessing instructed a full house of eager pianists and fiddlers at the Fiddle and Piano Workshop at the Compass Fellowship in Blairmore. On Sunday, April 22, the three musicians performed an afternoon concert at the Compass Fellowship, a more intimate ambiance than the bustle and zing of the old-time dance. “Cultural events like these are one way to build community within the Crowsnest Pass and surrounding area,” says Crowsnest Pass local and musician Paul Pichurski, who organized the events.

TLC for our cemetaries: fundraiser AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter Like memories, cemeteries are a valuable link we have with our loved ones who have passed but over time, these places of reminiscence succumb to weather, erosion and time.

The Crowsnest Pass Memorial Society is a registered charitable society dedicated to ensuring that our local cemeteries are in good condition by organizing fundraisers to perform maintenance and upgrades to the eight cemeteries within Crowsnest Pass, from

Coleman all the way to the Lille Cemetery.

Their current fundraising project is for the Blairmore Catholic Cemetery to remove the barbed wire fencing enclosing the cemetery and replace it with a wrought iron fence.

The Memorial Society began replacing the fencing several years ago, but the project has been on hiatus since the group ran out of money.

With the help of the current fundraiser, they hope to continue to replace the fencing.

The next phase of the Blair-

more Catholic Cemetery upgrades would be to expand the cremation park.

Other recent projects that the Memorial Society has completed at the Blairmore Catholic Cemetery is revitalizing the cremation section, laying down cobblestone walkways and putting in a reflection bench and a monument.

The Memorial Society has many ideas to enhance and rehabilitate sections of local cemeteries. For example, according to Darrell Sydora, president of the CNP Memo-

rial Society and manager of Fantin's Funeral Chapel, Crowsnest Pass has a high cremation rate and local cemeteries would benefit from scattering walls, gardens and columbariums.

While the municipality is responsible for regular maintenance of the cemeteries, such as grass cutting and restoring sunken graves or graves in a hazardous state, they do not have substantial funding to perform improvements. The Memorial Society fundraises to perform necessary upgrades and tasks outside of the municipality’s regular maintenance responsibilities.

"What we're trying to do is upgrade the condition of the cemeteries without taking anything away from the town's daily maintenance,” says Sydora. “If we can, we'd like to put in irrigation, electrical, anything that makes it an easier place to visit.”

The Memorial Society currently has approximately $6,000 in funds raised. Their goal is to reach $19,445 to carry out the fence improvements at the Blairmore Catholic Cemetery.

The Pass Herald will feature a thermometer showing

the fundraising achievement throughout upcoming issues. Anyone wishing to donate can drop a payment off at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel at 13461 20 Ave. in Blairmore or mail a cheque to Box 268, Blairmore, T0K 0E0. Tax receipts will be provided for donations.

Remove the stems, skin and seeds from the poblanos, and then slice into thin strips. Cut the onion slices in half and break apart with a fork into strands.

To make the tortillas, place the masa flour and salt in a bowl. Stir in the water to make soft dough, adding a little more water if necessary. Divide the dough into 8 portions, forming each portion into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to keep the dough moist. Place each ball of dough between two unopened plastic sandwich bags, then press to a 5- to 6-inch round in a tortilla press. Preheat an ungreased skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook each tortilla for 1 minute on each side until golden in spots. Cover with a damp tea towel until ready to serve.

If you're a business owner catering to the tourism industry in Crowsnest Pass, there's an upcoming workshop you won't want to miss.

On May 2, Travel Alberta representatives will be hosting a free workshop at Country Encounters from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. to guide businesses to add their business onto the Alberta Tourism Information Service (ATIS).

ATIS is a free digital marketing database set up

by Travel Alberta.

The workshop is geared towards businesses in the tourism industry, businesses that provide some sort of travel experience that they wish to promote. This includes businesses like bed & breakfasts, restaurants, guiding services and tourism event providers.

Travel Alberta staff will be present to help businesses create a profile and connect to the ATIS database.

"With the way marketing is today, so much content is consumed digitally so this provides a digital on-ramp so that tourism-related businesses can put text, images and information on events or services that they are offering," says Cameron Spence, experience development manager with Travel Alberta.

"The overall umbrella benefit to this is that it's really amplifying that organization's marketing efforts."

Travel Alberta then uses that content to promote the province. The content is accessed by Travel Alberta's marketing teams and is used in provincial, national and even international promotional campaigns.

sist them. Making sure they know about this workshop is one way," says Pat Lundy, a board member with the EDC. "Crowsnest Pass is a great destination to come and visit and the more we can do a focused marketing

"We will work with the businesses shoulder-to-shoulder to get their information onto the system."

-Cameron Spence Experience development manager, Travel Alberta

"What I'm excited about that is that we're seeing more and more demand for experiences that are off the beaten path and Crowsnest Pass provides such increased opportunity for people to do that.

We're really excited to get more businesses up on the system, we're excited about who's going to show up and we're excited to promote the area," says Spence.

Business registered on ATIS also get the added benefit of receiving reports detailing how customers are finding their business or service.

"It gives you incredible insight on how customers are utilizing the content that you provide," says Spence.

The municipality's Economic Development Committee has been working with Travel Alberta to bring this workshop to Crowsnest Pass.

"It's that we’re working with our industry and getting the word out and doing what we can to as-

campaign and get the industry involved in those campaigns, the better it is.

The more exposure we get for less dollars."

The workshop will be a very hands-on approach to register businesses onto ATIS. Participants are encouraged to come with digital images of what their business is or what they would like to promote and a laptop (although several laptops will be provided by Travel Alberta to use).

"We will work with the businesses shoulderto-shoulder to get their information onto the system," says Spence.

He also encourages industry partners to create a TripAdvisor account prior to the workshop so that it can be linked to ATIS. For more information, visit industry.travelalberta.com/atis. Business owners who are unable to attend the workshop can also register their business autonomously through the Travel Alberta Industry website.

Fundraising for the STARS AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Members of the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) will be coming to the Crowsnest Pass Health Centre on May 2 to sell branded merchandise as part of their Hospital Tour fundraiser.

There will be STARSbranded calendars, apparel, hoodies, t-shirts, hats, toy helicopters, flashlights and other paraphernalia for sale.

Proceeds from the fundraiser goes to funding future STARS missions.

"Some people feel a

sense of pride in having the STARS logo on their shirt because they understand the importance the role it plays in their community," says Bert Harbour, manager of enterprise fundraising with STARS. STARS' Hospital Tour fundraiser runs between March and May, where reps Bruce and Gisele Dickson tour across rural Alberta hospitals to raise money for the organization. This year, Bruce and Gisele will cover between 60 and 70 rural hospitals across the province.

"There’s really a big

connection within these communities because in the greater metropolitan areas, if you get into a car accident or you’re hurt, there’s a good chance there will be an ambulance picking you up within 10 minutes, whereas in these rural areas, if you’re in need of medical assistance and you're on the clock to be saved, the helicopter becomes a major tool in that endeavor," says Harbour.

To donate or purchase STARS merch, visit the Crowsnest Pass Health Centre between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May 2.

In honour of Earth Day on April 22, the Riversdale team (plus Jackie Woodman) conducted a community cleanup of 20 Ave. in Blairmore. In only an hour, our mighty clean up team filled Claire Rogers 21 bags of garbage! Along with the usual assortment of waste, we found eight mittens, a baby sock, a stuffed Big Bird, an old railway sign, two promotional signs, an original iPod, and a few pairs of underpants...

With the snow beginning to melt, there are many areas throughout the Pass that could use some TLC. We look forward to continuing these efforts during Ed Gregor Stewardship Day (organized by Crowsnest Forest Stewardship Society) on June 2!

The focus of Earth Day 2018 was on ending plastic pollution. Our friends from Crowsnest Conservation Society put together this poster to educate and inspire all of us to use less plastic and be mindful of our consumption of waste.

Editorial and Opinions wAtch mAin StrEEt LivE on our wEbcAm Our industry is changing and so, by default, is the Pass Herald. No longer are we just a handheld newspaper. We now also offer a digital version of the paper and, our newest iniative, a real-time webcam.

At the beginning of the year, we started to sell e-subscriptions. The launch of this new form of digital news has been more successful than I imagined. We have over 100 e-subscriptions throughout the world, and I mean that literally.

Just today, we launched our “live cam” so that people can see what’s happening on Main Street, Blairmore.

What, you may ask, is a “live cam”? Well, if you look up above our building, you will see a large pole with a camera attached. It’s our 24/7 visual feed of what’s happening on Main Street in Blairmore. You can now sit at your computer, access the live cam from our website for free and watch the lighting of the gazebo at Christmas.

Or you can watch how busy the Community Market is throughout the summer. You can even watch the start of the Sinister 7 race that begins on Main Street Blairmore. The camera is so advanced that you can see the Pass Powderkeg Ski Area, Crowsnest Mountain, the access into Blairmore and how the weather is moving throughout the area, all this from the comfort of your armchair on your smart phone or computer.

The webcam will go live this week and we are very interested in how many hits we get. We will keep you updated on whether this is a popular service for our readers.

The camera will be running every day, all day and you can go into the site whenever you want to have a look-see. It’s tough in the newspaper industry, so we are looking at new and innovative ways to draw you to our product.

Simply log onto passherald.ca, hit the link to our webcam and enjoy the view of the Crowsnest Pass!

That’s the way I see it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Empowering Women in 2018 Dear Edior; Empowering women is a subject worthy of discussion. Half of every family are women and girls and I, the man, care about the girls in my family more than about myself. There are so many girls and young women who don’t realize how high they can go, even if we exclude the women who run corporations, lead countries and my own woman Doctor who keeps me alive so I can write this letter. Look at the news from the last week, and see.

Women in the last week’s news: Germany’s Chancellor Angela Markell refused to join the US, France, and England in the useless bombing in Syria. She said there are better ways to achieve the goal. Germany didn’t participate.

A woman leader in action.

A woman named Cap-

tain Tammie Jo Shults landed flight Southwest 1380 safely after an engine blew up and the cabin depressurized. She was a Navy pilot prior to this job, flying one of the most lethal fighter planes in existence.

“Her calm voice came clear over the speakers of the control tower requesting medical help upon arrival,” stated the New York Times.

Can anyone watching this deny that women are equal or superior if they work at it?

Look at the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, one of the women who are regularly on the news. When the Americans and allies used more than a billion dollars worth of missiles to bomb Syrian buildings in the middle of the night, reporters asked her if increased sanctions on Russia shouldn’t have been applied instead, which would have been safer and more

effective against future lethal gas attacks. Nikki Haley said that the US will apply sanctions within hours. That is what she was told. She forgot that the President possibly owes his elections to the Russians and that the Russians likely have videoes of him with prostitutes which could cost him his presidency. The president’s spokesperson, Mnuchin, denounced her statement indicating that she was “confused.” Haley proudly announced, risking being fired, that she doesn’t get confused and that she didn’t lie. Another example of an empowered, strong woman.

The best example of empowered women is the “Me Too” movement. The girls will no longer be a toy and all power to them.

I will not name Melania Trump or Meghan Markle as great examples of successful women, since mar-

rying into money or even royalty are not good examples of the modern empowered women, regardless of how famous they may become.

Today’s woman is a confident, beautiful, intelligent female human being.

She knows how to handle situations, knows her rights and her limitations. The modern woman is smart and capable while able to accept help since she propagates the species at her own expense. She can lead the nation, run its vital functions, but she still is mother, wife, grandmother and dearest of them all, Daddy’s little girl. There is nothing wrong with it. God help us all if she chooses to quit. Little girls may dream of becoming Superwoman, but big girls take their place as confident leaders, if and when they wish.

It would be wise to deal the mule deer herd Dear Edior; It would be wise to deal with Crowsnest Pass mule deer herd. Please note attached photo. It was snapped March 21, 2018 in Coleman on the western hillside by Mountainview Industries. There were a minimum of 20 mule deer on this hillside. Please note also the health of the deer; even though we have been through a very harsh winter for animals to find forage, these deer show no signs of hunger or hardship. These deer and many more live in town, and the deer infestation increases every year unchecked. It's not unrealistic to suggest from these deer alone there will be five more fawns shortly. These deer are a multi-generational CNP plague (and there's deer crap everywhere).

No doubt one of the the biggest contributing factors to the deer infestation is the fact that many people feed the deer. These people are functioning more as deer ranchers than as proper and concerned conservationists. Thanks to these people, there is a completely unnatural supply of deer food that helps

sustain a hyped up deer population. These people clearly don't take time to recognize how their actions negatively impact their neighbours and the community (and the deer).

When I first moved to my present location in Coleman in 1989, one would not see deer in the neighborhood too often and it was understandable in the winter for them to come to the river bottom to beat the high snow. Now I see multiple deer daily with the season being no determining influence.

These deer have made their home inside the municipal boundaries and the consequences many citizens are paying is an issue that deserves thought and, better still, purposeful action.

Some problems are pretty obvious like the deer being a traffic hazard.

They wander on Crowsnest highways and streets with a nonchalant bearing. I blow my car horn at them, and they blow me off like a single buzzing mosquito. The mule deer's sheer numbers and their lack of fear of cars is disturbing and helps emphasize the point that they

are a hazard to traffic and thus a hazard to people.

And how many dollars have flowed out to repair damaged cars?

Another problem: deer are a physical threat to people and pets. Yes, more so the bucks in rutting season and the does when their young are born, but they are a force to be reckoned with if they attack, and they do attack. My neighbour this spring had a $325 vet bill that was the direct result of a deer attack on her pet. The animal is very small, and wasn't more than 15 feet from the house.

Please note these internet posts from the Kootenays: “When the deer are as numerously and consistently present as they are in our community it's inevitable the Pass will experience serious wildlife issues. I am hoping for an initiative from municipal and/or provincial resources to decrease the risks from deer. Best 'Captain-Obvious' step... remove all habituated deer!”

“The frequent, and illconsidered feeding of the deer by people has se-

verely dulled many local deer's natural fear of man.

The deer are unnaturally secure around people. The other day I tried to 'shoosh' a few deer from my yard. I waved the shovel I had, tried to make myself appear as big as possible, moved towards them, and made aggressive sounds.

The initial response... they came towards me looking for a handout. Clearly they have been thoughtlessly habituated from food donations from citizens. As I got closer to these deer it suddenly dawned on them that I meant business and they ran off. Ran off... yeah... maybe 30 feet, stopped and sniffed the ground. Habituated seems like an understatement to describe many of these deer.

Domesticated and/or tamed as pets would be a more functional definition to describe a lot their behavior. Many of these deer appear to be the ungulate equivalents of "Fluffy" and "Fido".”

Another problem is that the local deer are not very content with the naturally-occurring forage in town boundaries.

Saving ASMA, dog parks, community trails AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Vision for Albert Stella Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society board member Cal Clarke and fundraising director Randall Shemko presented Council with a brand new vision for the Albert Stella Memorial Arena (ASMA) that provides the opportunity to save the facility and works to the mutual benefit of users and the municipality.

ASMA is in need of extensive upgrades and repairs. It needs to either be renovated or demolished. Without coming to a decision yet, Council has considered and discussed both options, although they have recognized that ASMA is an iconic, historic and rare multi-purpose facility and most Councillors are favourable to preserving the building.

According to Manager of Community Services Joey O’Brien, it cost the municipality $60,000 to operate ASMA in 2017.

In 2016, that number was nearly $100,000.

The facility is currently used by many sports organizations and

recreational/childcare clubs for children like 40 Developmental Assets, the Boys and Girls Club of the Foothills and lacrosse.

Clarke presented two solutions, a short term and a longer term vision.

The short term solution is to lease the facility to the Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society, which would take the financial burden of operating the facility off the municipal budget while potentially increasing utilization.

In this proposal, the Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society would assume the day-to-day costs of operating and organizing scheduling with user groups that use the facility. All the user groups would share the operational costs of keeping the facility open.

This option would allow greater access to the facility and the municipality would save substantial dollars. It would also mutually benefit the Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society, as operating a facility would make them eligible for many more grants than currently.

However, the under-

lying problem that the building requires upgrades remains.

That’s where the second solution offers a longterm vision with the opportunity to revamp and renovate ASMA. Clarke proposes creating an adventure park with a variety of activities and programming, similar to that of Copper Mountain Adventure Park in Colorado. Based on what the community would like to see, there's the potentiality for a indoor ski jumps, a skateboarding site or even a trampoline park.

This proposal goes beyond just renovating the facility, also acting as a destination draw for surrounding communities and tourists.

"There is a lot of impetus to create not just a facility that support the municipality and its organizations, but is an economic driver,” said Clarke.

Clarke requested that Council support the Crowsnest Cultural and Recreation Society lease to allow ASMA to operate on an interim basis while longer term options and the adventure park con-

cept can be explored.

While Council generally reacted favourably to the project, they expressed many concerns and questions that would need to be addressed before officially providing their support, for example clarification on labour issue, liabilities and maintenance and rates.

“I hope we can address all those concerns because I would like to see this concept work,” said Councillor Dean Ward.

Council will be discussing the project at an upcoming meeting.

Dog park delegation Council heard a delegation from Derek Medland, chairperson of the Off-Leash Sub Committee of the Parks and Recreation Authority, about a project to open a dog park in the community.

The dog park would be approximately 10 hectares in size and situated beside the cemetery at the Highway 3 and Bellevue/Hillcrest interchange. The entire area would be fenced off and within its perimeter would include a second, smaller area for small dogs.

The committee considered nine other possible areas for the dog park across Crowsnest Pass, ultimately settling on this location for its proximity to Highway 3 and amount of open land away from residential areas. This is a trial area with the possibility of establishing areas in other places within the MD. The park is estimated to cost $7,000 and that would include putting in a 4-foot stock fence and all associated hardware. Fortis has contributed $3,000 to the project. According to Medland, the intent is to construct the dog park at no cost to the municipality, so the rest of the funding would be sourced through grants or sponsorship. However, the hope is that the municipality would provide winter plowing and summer grading services and garbage pickup.

Additional costs from grants or sponsors would look other amenities like doggy bags and dispensers, garbage containers, washrooms and a water source.

During 2018 budget discussions, Council voted to defer the dog

park to 2019, which was listed as a capital expense of $10,000. Seeing as the dog park would not incur additional costs to the municipality, Medland requested that Council reconsider the off-leash dog park project for 2018 and unfreeze the $3,000 donation from Fortis to apply towards development permits.

Council will be discussing the dog park further at an upcoming meeting.

Trails snow clearing In response to requests from the community to have the community trail maintained throughout the winter, Council tried out a snow clearing system for the first time this season. However, between frequent heavy snowfalls and inefficient equipment available, they were unable to maintain cleared paths.

Council directed Administration to include this as a topic at the 2019 budget discussion this fall, along with all relevant capital costs to establish a snow clearing system that works efficiently.

36th annual KRA Rodeo bucks into town AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Spring may have had a late start this year, but it hit just in time for the Kananaskis Pro Rodeo.

"It’s been such a darn terrible spring but you can’t do much about that, so come to the rodeo. You can’t get better entertainment per dollar anywhere else," says president of the Kananaskis Rodeo Association (KRA) Joe Trotz.

The KRA's 36th annual rodeo event is bringing back the crème de la crème of pro-rodeo for a weekend showcasing the talent of man and the grandeur of horse.

“People don’t realize that a lot of the same horses that are at our rodeo go to the Calgary Stampede, the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and the Canadian Finals Rodeo. The best contestants and the best stock in the world are here," says KRA president Joe Trotz.

Some of the best horses in North America will be matched up with top rodeo contenders, including some Canadian and American champions.

"You can’t get a better show in North America, being this close to the action. You’ll get dirt in

your face at our rodeo because you’re so close to the action. Our arena is small, and that's an advantage and disadvantage. We’d like if it could hold more people, but you’re right there. You can hear the horses grunt.

At our rodeo, you’re part of the action,” says Trotz.

All pro-rodeo events are back to compete the traditional major events like bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, boy’s steer riding, team roping, tie-down roping, and barrel racing.

“What you’re really getting here is a first class rodeo in a small town,”

says Trotz. “You won’t find a better rodeo anywhere in North America.

The caliber of stock and cowboys here is the same as at the Calgary Stampede.”

Six-time Canadian Pro Rodeo Association Announcer of the Year Brett Gardiner is back to call the shots, and Dennis Halstead is coming back as rodeo clown/barrelman. Halstead has performed at the Calgary Stampede five times, and he has entertained audiences all around the world, as far as China and Australia.

Donny Lee to perform at KRA Cabaret AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

It's always a great time when Donny Lee's on stage.

The country crooner

will be performing at this year's KRA Cabaret on Saturday, April 28 at the Coleman Sportsplex.

Although Lee says he has a certain affinity for

Five Rivers Pizza Blairmore 403-564-4545

the traditional sounds of country, he enjoys performing in the entire country genre and has a big list of material to play at the cabaret.

"We're definitely going to cater our set list to more of a rodeo crowd,” says Lee. “We'll make sure that we're playing some good George Strait, some of the new country and some of the old stuff."

Most of all, Lee vibes off the crowd and as long as his audience is enjoying the music, that’s what he’ll keep playing.

“My favourite songs to play change all the time, especially when you log as many hours on a stage as I do. My favourite song is always going to be the one that the crowd enjoys the most,” he says.

Lee, born in Hamilton, Ontario, has called Alberta home for about 25 years and divides his time between Fort

Saskatchewan and Nashville, where he's a resident musician at two of the hottest party bars on Broadway, Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Honky Tonk Central.

Both of Lee’s parents were musicians, something that, since an early age, influenced his pathway to go into music.

"That definitely got everything started. I was entering competitions as a kid and I just kind of had a feel for it,” he says.

Lee released his first album, Who I Am, in March 2017, with two releases that went to radio, “That Would Be Me” and “Country Way of Life.”

“I wasn’t worried about putting out an album that fits anybody's idea of what should be played today on radio or not,” says Lee. “This was a CD we recorded in Nashville with people that have been nominated in the Hall of Fame and have won Grammeis. We

just went into the studio, had fun and came out with the sound you hear on the album.”

The musician showed a more sensitive side with his most recent release, “16 Souls,” which pays tribute to the 16 lives that were lost in the Humboltd Broncos accident.

Throughout his current tour, Lee will be raising funds that will go towards the charities raising money to help the victims and families of

Lee has several local shows coming up across Alberta and in Ontario later this fall. He’ll be playing theatres, rodeos, fairs and festivals throughout the summer.

The Frank Slide—North America’s Deadliest Rockslide Herald Contributor

One hundred and fifteen years ago, Turtle Mountain made its mark in Canadian history. At 4:10 a.m. on the fateful morning of April 29, 1903, 110 million tonnes of limestone came crashing down from Turtle Mountain into the valley, obliterating everything in its path. Within 90 seconds,

lives in North America’s deadliest rockslide.

The general assumption was that the seventeen mine workers on night shift inside the mine were lost forever. In a strange twist of fate, the mine inside Turtle Mountain was a very safe place to be. The mountain shook, coal and rock fell, but the tunnels remained

April 29, 1903, at 4:10 am Turtle Mountain made its mark in Canadian history when 110 million tonnes of limestone came crashing down the mountain obliterating everything in it’s path. this devastating sea of rock came to a halt after spreading across three square kilometres of the valley bottom. Immediate rescue efforts saved 23 people, including the entire Bansemer and Ennis families, three girls from the Leitch home and Lester Johnson. Although only a dozen bodies of victims were recovered in 1903, it is estimated that at least 90 people lost their

intact. The seventeen miners were all alive, but were trapped inside the mountain as the entrance had been buried. Although the seventeen miners did not know the extent of the disaster on the outside, they organized themselves and began to dig upwards through a coal seam, reaching the surface in thirteen hours, to the amazement and joy of the

people of Frank.

Turtle Mountain still shows signs of weakness and geologists expect a second large scale rock avalanche at an unknown point in the future. Scientists tell us that the next slide will likely fall from the south side of Turtle Mountain and will be approximately one-sixth the size of the original slide.

In a worst-case scenario, scientists estimate that a second major slide will have the potential to cover the highway, the railway, and about a dozen homes in the area on the eastern edge of the original slide.

Using all available data, scientists have determined that Turtle Mountain is still moving, although very slowly, in the order of a few millimetres per year. The lower slope of the mountain is gradually moving downward along folded layers of solid rock underneath. When the driving forces (the forces trying to push the mountain down) ultimately become greater than the resisting forces

(the forces trying to hold the mountain up) movements along these layers will speed up and the lower slope will fail. Once the lower slope begins to move, the peak will break off and follow, with the entire mass of rock roaring down into the valley, just like what happened in 1903.

Given the slow rate of movement, it is unlikely that the mountain will fail any time soon, and an acceleration of movement will be detected by the monitoring program prior to another slide.

Join us at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre this Sunday, April 29 at 3:00 p.m. as we commemorate the 115th anniversary of the Frank Slide.

We will be launching the second edition of the book, ‘Frank Slide’ by J. William Kerr, as well as hosting a reception, dignitaries’ greetings and presentations at the Centre, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony along the Old Frank Road at the memorial site.

Raven’s Lacrosse bottle drive AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

With spring cleaning just around the corner, those bottles from New Year's celebrations gathering dust in the garage can be put towards a good cause: the Crowsnest Pass Ravens Lacrosse bottle drive!

Ravens team members, association members and parents will be doing rounds around the community between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on May 4 and 5 to pick up bottles that residents leave in front of their houses.

All funds will go towards purchasing a full set of jerseys for the players.

"Our jerseys are 10-plus years old and some of the businesses that are on them don't even exist anymore. With spring cleaning, hopefully people are looking to get rid of their bottles and we can put money towards our sponsors," says Bill Templeton, vice president, fundraiser coordinator and coach for the Crowsnest Pass Ravens Lacrosse Association.

The Association is currently acquiring quotes on jerseys. A full set of 84 jerseys for both teams is estimated to cost approximately $7,000.

The lacrosse season is just beginning, with the novice and bantams first games taking place on April 28 at the Albert Stella Memorial Arena. CNP Ravens players are scouted from Crowsnest Pass and Pincher Creek.

If you would like to contribute bottles outside of the bottle drive day, contact Templeton at 403563-6010 to arrange a pick up time, or drop the bottles off at the Bottle Depot.

Active for life means healthy for life AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

What do Sidney Crosby and baseball have in common?

On the surface, it may not seem like much.

Crosby is a well-known hockey player highly-regarded for his incredible talent on the ice. But digging deeper, his dynamic shots this season might be reminiscent of batting the puck like a baseball might, and when you look into Crosby’s sporting history, it actually involves baseball and other sports over and above hockey alone.

“I have played a lot of pickup baseball the past two years even though I was playing hockey,” he said in an interview with nhl.com. “There was a baseball field right next to the rink so we’d just play when we could. I play golf when I can. I play a lot of tennis, too. Anything outside, I like to play any sport and be competitive.”

According to Active for Life, a national initiative dedicated to promoting physical literacy among children, Crosby’s hockey talent just might be, at least in part, attributed to his multi-sport background.

"He's been scoring all these goals this year, whacking the pick out of the air as if he's batting at baseball. It's kind of a tongue in cheek approach to it but when you look a bit deeper into Sidney Crosby's past, guess what?

He was a multi-sport athlete," says Active for Life founder Richard Monette.

This idea of engaging children in multiple sports from an early age and the significant health, skill and social benefits that may follow are the focal point of an exclusive sport and health summit to take place next week in Crowsnest Pass.

Joey O'Brien, Manager of Community Services with the municipality, has noticed declining participation in virtually all sports clubs in Crowsnest Pass, striking him to call in a few favours to bring Monette and renowned physiologist Dr. Stephen Norris to share their expertise in a free workshop.

Both Dr. Norris and Monette have worked with Olympic medalists and World champion athletes, many of which have

hit the podiums at national and international events.

On April 30 and May 1, Monette and Dr. Norris will be visiting Crowsnest Pass to liaise with municipal Council, parents and sports club leaders, providing them with the knowledge and resources to shape a well-rounded athlete and, beyond that, a healthy, successful and active for life human being.

It all starts with activity, life-long and diverse activity.

The purpose of Active for Life is to help raise physically literate children, in other words, children who have the skills, confidence, inspiration and motivation to move.

"We're trying to promote and develop physical literacy, which is acquiring a variety of different skills, not just skills that relate to one activity, but a set of different activities that allow you to be comfortable, confident and motivated to do different activities when you're older," says Monette. "Physical literacy alludes to the multidimensional aspects of getting kids to enjoy moving, being confident moving and developing the skills to move."

According to Monette, this is key to building skilled athletes.

"The science is clear that the best all-around athletes make the best athlete in one sport as they get older. Maybe they'll acquire the taste for one or two of these as they get older, but they will have been introduced to a multitude of diff sports and physical activities," he says.

Athletics is one thing, but the benefits physical literacy in children goes beyond just excelling in sports. There are a variety of socio-economic and wellness advantages that come with activity.

"If you compare an active kid to an inactive kid, kids who move have increased self-esteem, are happier, they do better in school, they earn more money and they have lower risk of heart disease and cancer as they get older," says Monette. "These are all signs that moving is essential to being human and physical literacy is a different perspective on helping kids today learn to move and continue to move through their life span."

Active for Life tried to promote a creative way of looking at the world today, realizing that things have changed. Our environment has undeniable changed in our ability to develop fundamental skills since as little as 20 years ago.

"When I went outside, what I would find is a group of kids that would be playing a game and through these games, I would develop my different fundamental skills," says Monette, reminiscing back on his childhood. "It's not like I needed to be taught these things and it's not that I was born with these skills, it's that my environment got me to play games where I developed fundamental physical skills. Today, kids still play games that they enjoy but the only problem is that the nature of these games has evolved. Where in the past, those games were physical in nature, today they are often inactive, non-physical and played inside."

The solution lies not only in encouraging kids to be active, but by spurring a change in mindset in the entire system and getting "the gatekeepers" informed is a key step. Monette refers to “the gatekeepers" as anyone who has an influence on children, that is, parents, teachers, people working in community centres, sports group leaders.

“If you’re on the board of your minor hockey association, you’re a gatekeeper.

You make decisions that will influence the quality of the sport experience of every kid in that association.

Your decisions can actually influence kids to keep going in the sport or not,” says Monette. “That's our community. What we’re doing with these people is we’re giving them content, resources and tools to help develop physical literacy in children.”

"The end results is to create an overall perspective on being active and being engaged in sports and trying to break some stereotypes. For example, hockey is delivered in one way, it's been delivered the same way delivered forever. Well, maybe there’s are new ways of delivering hockey that really work for kids today and help them

get a better experience and remain engaged in hockey."

As Manager of Community Services, O’Brien has noticed a downward trend in users of sports groups and facilities. He says that to turn things around, the “gatekeepers” need guidance to formulate a strategy that will fill local sports clubs and facilities.

"We spend half a million dollars running [the Coleman Sportsplex] a year,” says O’Brien, referring to the gross expenses for operating the complex.

“I want to fill it. I want to make it vibrant, I want stuff to be happening there. Right now, the majority of the time that my staff are there, there's nothing going on. That's a waste of a community asset.”

O'Brien's hope is that, following the information session with Monette and Dr. Norris, Council will designate Crowsnest Pass as an “active for life” community where municipal programs, activities and educational efforts apply the tenets of physical literacy.

"There will be some program administrators and program directors who will embrace this knowledge with a result of well-rounded and competent teams," says O'Brien.

"Our goals are to present this information so the greatest number of citizens in the Pass have a chance to review this for an active and healthy life."

Parents, teachers and anyone who works in community centres are invited to attend a public presentation on sport and Active for Life at the MDM from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on April 30.

At the workshop, Monette and Dr. Norris will share the science behind the long-term athlete development framework, explain why physical literacy matters and how to develop it.

One-on-one meetings with user groups and municipal Council will also be taking place. If you are the leader of a children’s group in Crowsnest Pass and would like to take part in a meeting, you are asked to register with Community Services by e m a i l i n g carrie.baher@crowsnestpass.com.

JEAN DALZIEL 1928 ~ 2018

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Dalziel (nee: Robbins), recently of Pincher Creek, Alberta who peacefully left this world surrounded by her loving family while receiving care at the Pincher Creek Hospital on April 15, 2018. Jean was blessed with 90 years of a wonderful life.

Jean was born on April 13, 1928 in Anston, Yorkshire, England to Edgar and Kate Robbins. She blossomed into a beautiful and graceful young lady who captured the heart of a dashing military man, Heath Dalziel, and after a whirlwind courtship, they pledged their love in holy matrimony on June 4, 1949. Jean was further blessed with a family of her own where she demonstrated the compassion and inspiration she was known for her entire life. In 1974, the family immigrated to Canada.

Jean enjoyed life and had many interests: she truly shone on the ballroom dance floor, modeled clothing in various fashion shows, enjoyed her aerobic exercises, long walks, her membership with the Blairmore Legion and volunteering at the York Creek Lodge, and baking special treats for her family.

A devoted wife, nurturing mother, cherished grandmother and great grandmother, Jean’s memory and her love will live forever in the hearts and minds of her family and dearest friends.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Heath Dalziel of Pincher Creek, AB; her devoted children, Barry (Carole) Dalziel of Surrey, BC, Stuart (Louise) Dalziel of Hillcrest, AB and Myra Dalziel of Nova Scotia; her cherished grandchildren, Sarah Dalziel, Emily (Aaron) Wheeler, Paul Walters and Tracy Walters; precious great grandchildren, Jayce Dalziel, Simon Burke, Cruze Aubin, Elle Walters and Rylee Walters; her siblings, David (Valerie) Foulds and Sheila Foulds of Yorkshire, England; and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family both here and in England. She was predeceased by her parents, Kate & Edgar Robbins.

The gathering of family and friends celebrating Jean’s life was held on Friday, April 20, 2018 at Fantin's Funeral Chapel in Blairmore, AB where fond memories, tributes from the heart and refreshments were shared.

On behalf of the family, we wish to express our gratitude for the caregivers at Vista Village and all who made our mother’s life wonderful. She appreciated your acts of kindness and dedication.

Donations in memory of the late Jean Dalziel may be accepted towards the Windy Slopes Health Foundation (P. O. Box 2554, Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0) or to the Good Samaritan Society (P. O. Box 1510, Pincher Creek, AB T0K 1W0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Obituary

PATRICK CHARLES DWYER

Patrick Charles Dwyer of Lundbreck, AB, left this earth too suddenly for us on April 9, 2018 at the age of 70 years. He leaves behind his loving wife Linda of 48 years, his children, Lana Halvorson (Byron) of Foremost, AB, Theresa Hann (Stuwart) of Lundbreck, AB, and Willard Dwyer (Patricia) of West Kelowna, BC. As well as his grandchildren, Ashley and Candace Halvorson, Danielle and Zackery Hann, Avaya and Kinley Dwyer. Pat is survived by sister Mary Rigby (Douglas) of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; David Dwyer (Helen) of Calgary, AB; and Susan Aris (Terry) of Ecuador. Pat was predeceased by his father George Willard Dwyer; mother, Rachel Margaret Dwyer; and niece, Robin Rigby.

Pat was born on October 24, 1947 in Pincher Creek, AB. He was raised north of Lundbreck on the family farm where he resided all of his life. He attended Livingstone School in Lundbreck and when he was able to get his drivers license he even drove the school bus while he was still attending school. While at school he met Linda and they were married on August 30, 1969.

After school Pat stayed at home to help run the family farm and was driven to do more. Pat purchased his 1st backhoe at the age of 18 and never looked back. He was passionate about work and tried many different ventures and succeeded in nearly all. Pat lived a big and bold life.

The driving force behind his work ethic was his desire to provide for his family to have every possible opportunity in life. As the grandkids arrived each and everyone of them became the apple of grandpa’s eye. He was very proud of all their accomplishments, big or small.

Pat enjoyed being active within the community and supporting anyone in need.

With his passing he has left a lot of us with a big hole…when we need something done we won’t have the option anymore to just call Pat. A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 11:00am at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church, Nanton Street and Mountain Avenue, Cowley, Alberta. It has always been Pat’s wish that his service be held in St. Aidan’s Church. The family do not want to discourage anyone from attending the service, but seating is very limited in the church. To avoid the risk of having to stand outside you may attend the “Bun Struggle” beginning at 1:00pm at the Pincher Creek Community Hall, 287 Canyon Drive, Pincher Creek Memorial Donations may be made to the Wilderness Ranch, C/O Ken Olson, Box 1804, Claresholm, Alberta, T0L 0T0 Or A charity of your choice.

14 – Crowsnest pass HeraLD – Wednesday, April 25, 2018

It would be wise to deal the mule deer herd continued ... their property, the Pass would be noted as one of the most ugly, unfriendly, unwelcoming-looking communities in the country... and fences cost money.

Many people plant a garden to enjoy working outside and save a little money by growing their own food. I'd need to harvest an awful lot of yellow string beans to pay for the materials to construct a deer-proof fence.

Then there's the issue of not what the deer eat, but the creatures who

The deer are a swarm of locus-like hooved vermin that vacuum up any sort of vegetation they can access. Annually they consume hundreds of dollars of bedding plants and flowers, consume and render unproductive many a vegetable garden and destroy newly planted trees and maim established trees. (and there's deer crap everywhere.) And a 'solution' I hear too often, "build a fence." If everybody built a deer-proof fence around

want to eat the deer. Basically north Coleman is an open-for-business 'allyou-can-eat’ buffet for larger predators and the flashing neon sign attracting the big carnivores to Coleman is not going to get any duller. Note to people who feed the deer: most people prefer not to have sizeable and hungry beast of prey in their back yards.

Quite bluntly, it's too late to take a firm stand against those who feed the deer. There are sim-

ply too many deer for the natural Crowsnest Pass ecosystem and too many deer, period. These deer are not "Bambi-wannabes", but wild animals and they are a potential threat and more multifaceted community payback for encouraging and enabling their presence from unnatural food sources is coming. So what can we done, besides breed a Karelian deer dog? A common suggestion would be to relocate the deer to an un-

populated natural location towards Canmore or something. My suggestion is even more practical... Let's not relocate them to Canmore, but to the old 'Kenmore' in the basement. The City of Cranbrook has just taken a firm move against intown deer and culled many, and then utilized the deer as a food source for the town. If we CNP natives are by default functioning as deer ranchers let's 'head 'em up and move 'em out'!

Yes, there is controversy over a cull, but

there are just too many deer now and they're not going away. It's flaky and foolish to think there won't be more soon. If a hard-nosed cull was completed and the unlicensed venison wranglers neutralized, we as a community would hopefully return to a naturally sustained ecosystem which would logically contain a lot less deer. Please, it's time to deal with the excess mule deer population in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. Now! Peter Dunbar

They cleaned a long section of Blairmore from the east bridge to the Greenhill Hotel. Read Claire Rogers’ account of their initiative on page 5.
