40 Developmental Assets put on another Amazing Teen Race for youth in the community on September 15. The 4th annual race started off with breakfast at the Elk’s Hall before kids sprinted off to complete activites at the various “check stops” around Blairmore before completing their final challenge at the Pass Powderkeg Lodge and enjoying the postrace barbecue. Pictured above are two contestants in the “Lady Cheetahs and Pitas” team, just before they set off on the race.

Non-motorized A Trails Strategy and Capital Development Plan is expected to be released at the end of October 2018.

Currently, Swain says the government is meeting with recreational user groups and stakeholders to understand non-motorized trail and infrastructure needs.

The "number one priority” for Alberta Parks, says Swain, is creating an "Epic” mountain biking trail that starts and ends in or near Crowsnest Pass. The Epic trail, as classified by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) has certain criteria for length, difficulty, and other qualities that would label it Epic and would be a major draw to the community. Alberta Parks is working with the United Riders of Crowsnest (UROC) to develop the project.

There are very few recognized Epic trails in North America, so having this in Crowsnest Pass would be a major tourism draw to the area, says Swain, adding that the long-term goal would be to have several Epics in or near the community.

The trails strategy plan will include a finalized route for the Epic.

Motorized On the topic of motorized use, while summer OHV recreation is being phased out, winter motorized sport will continue. Swain says that snowmobiling stakeholders will be approached in October for a plan of what winter snowmobiling

would look like. No changes would happen for this year.

Castle access Alberta Parks is hoping to have tourism-oriented directional signs pointing to the Adanac Road and Sartoris Road as accessways into the Castle Provincial Park and Wildlands Park. The government is also in ongoing discussions to improve those roads and designate them as a scenic drive.

Grouped Country Residential Recreational Vehicle Standards Councillor Dean Ward brought forth suggestions for changes to the proposed Bylaw 1011, 2018 Grouped Country Residential Recreational Vehicle Standards that prohibits RV storage on GCR parcels where no principal use has been established.

Under the current Land Use Bylaw (Bylaw 868, 2013), one RV is permitted to be stored for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year where no principle use has been established. The proposed bylaw, of which Council has passed first reading, would remove this allowance.

However, following a strong pushback from GCR landowners, particularly along Tecumseh Road, Council had tabled second reading and is reexamining the proposed bylaw.

Councillor Ward suggested that for parcels where no principal use has been established, storage of two recreational vehicles should be allowed for two years from the date of purchase. If the parcel was purchased prior to the date of this

bylaw being proclaimed, RV storage should be permitted for three years.

Where a principal use has been approved, Councillor Ward’s suggestion was that two recreational vehicles may be stored on the parcel for the period that construction is active, changed from only one permitted RV. However, he maintained that in no case shall a recreational vehicle be used for permanent accommodations.

Most of council spoke favourably to the suggested amendments.

Councillor Lisa Sygutek, however, said she would not be voting for these amendments or the current proposed bylaw. Instead, she made it clear that parcels purchased before 2013 should be allowed legal nonconformity regarding storing RVs and using them as sleeping accommodations.

However, according to Administration, a bylaw prohibiting the use of RVs for camping goes back to 1974.

“In all previous versions of the Land Use Bylaw dating back to 1974, ‘camping’ was never identified as either a permitted or discretionary use in Grouped Country Residential (GCR) districts. As such, ‘camping’ would be considered a prohibited use by default. In the most recent version of the bylaw – Land Use Bylaw 868, 2013 – camping has been explicitly listed as a prohibited use in the GCR districts,” says Chief Administrative Officer Patrick Thomas.

Additionally, Administration reported that approximately 40 percent of GCR parcels have no

dwelling on them at this time.

At various points throughout the past several weeks, the idea of people having the right to do what they want with their land has been brought up when discussing the proposed bylaw.

Several councillors, however, have stated that this thought cannot guide council’s decision on the proposed bylaw, as municipalities have bylaws that evolve for a reason and they should apply to the population absolutely.

"You used to be able to have chickens in your backyard. You can’t have chickens in your backyard any more. You used to be able to let your grass go this long, but you can’t do that anymore. We set policies and bylaw for the safety of the community or how we develop with our municipal development plan. That's really the reason we have bylaws and they should be followed the same by everybody,” said Councillor Doreen Glavin.

Councillor Ward will bring the amendments to the next meeting and council will discuss the bylaw further.

Coleman Sports Complex Repairs on the ammonia ice plant are underway, however, the opening date is anticipated to be pushed back another week.

Bellevue Union Cemetery A rock drain has been installed at the Bellevue Union Cemetery which will mitigate seasonal flooding. Large water events at the cemetery should now dissipate quickly, or remain floodfree.

RCMP and Alberta Forestry collaborate to lay arson charge The Crowsnest RCMP worked with Alberta Forestry and the RCMP Forestry Crimes Unit to solve an arson investigation. A fire was reported to the RCMP by the Crowsnest Pass Fire Department on August 16, 2018 and the investigation was launched.

The fire was started on August 9 at approximately 1:30 p.m. Four hectares were burned in the area of Crowsnest Pass Hospital, and east toward the centre access to Blairmore. Most fortunately, no humans were injured and no property was damaged as a result of the fire.

30-year-old Mark Daniel Foucault of Blairmore was identified as being allegedly responsible and was arrested in early September. Foucault has been remanded in custody. He is scheduled to appear in court in Pincher Creek on September 25, 2018.

The Forestry Crimes Unit, formalized in January 2018, is an initiative where the RCMP and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry work together to support wildfire investigations and other forestry related crimes in rural areas. The RCMP Forestry Crimes Unit coordinates forestry investigations within RCMP jurisdiction, and provides specialized wildfire expertise to detachment personnel, and partner agencies.

New VP for Crowsnest Consolidated AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

This will be the first school year that Crowsnest Consolidated High School (CCHS) principal Christine McKee and Jill Klapp, who is in her first year as vice principal at CCHS, will be working together in administrative capacities.

“So far, we're working really well together in terms that our strengths complement one another. We're both invested in the community and this is a place that we want to be,” says McKie. “We want to establish a sense of stability within the school and community because there have been a lot of changes the last couple of years. We want parents and community members to feel like they are welcome at any time.

We really feel like our team, our staff, have great things ahead of us for our kids and for the Crowsnest Pass.”

Klapp has worked in the Livingstone Range School Division for approximately 10 years. She had taught social studies at CCHS for the past two years. Before that, she taught social studies at Matthew Halton High School in Pincher Creek for five years and humanities at F P Walshe School in Fort MacLeod for three. With a background in social justice, Klapp was involved with alcohol and drug programs as a youth worker and has served in several provincial ministries focused on youth before deciding to become a teacher.

recipe corner Autumn is apple-picking season, and many farmers markers, grocery stores and even roadside apple stands are chock-full of delicious apples this time of year. That makes fall the perfect time to whip up some apple-inspired foods. This recipe for “Elsie’s Stewed Apples” from Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey) requires a tad more effort than traditional applesauce recipes, but the extra work is well worth it in the end. When shopping for apples in advance of preparing this recipe, avoid apples that have a mealy texture as well as those that are overly sweet.

Elsie’s Stewed Apples 2 2 1⁄2 1⁄2

to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices cup honey, preferably sage honey cup white wine Zest of 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon Fresh sage sprigs for garnish

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.

2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1⁄2 cup water.

Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.

3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

14th annual Harvest of Memories Gala Main fundraiser for the museum includes dinner, auction and entertainment AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

The Crowsnest Historical Society is hosting their annual dinner, auction and live music fundraiser, the Harvest of Memories Gala, on Saturday, September 29 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church Hall in Blairmore.

“It'll be a nice, comfortable night with some great entertainment and it’ll be a great time. It is a fundraiser and it has a very special goal of raising funds for the museum,” says Chris Matthews, executive director of the Crowsnest Museum & Archives.

You can expect talented live music, a deliciously catered dinner and a chance to snag goodies at both the silent and live auctions. And on top of that, you are donating to an institution that is a keeper of Crowsnest Pass tradition and history.

The Harvest of Memories is the largest fundraiser that supports

An invitation to all:

notice of annual General meeting of the Crowsnest Consolidated athletic and academic Society.

The Crowsnest Consolidated Athletic and Academic Society would like to welcome the new and returning students and families to the 2018/19 school year.

For those of you not familiar with CCAAS, it is a non-profit organization made up of volunteer parents. Our mission is to support and enrich our children’s athletic and academic endeavors at Crowsnest Pass Consolidated High School.

We would like to invite you to get involved: we need your participation in the form of volunteerism and ideas.

Please attend our Annual General Meeting to learn more about our society and how you can help the students at CCHS maximize their high school experiences.

the meeting will be held on: monday, September 25th from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the CCHS library.

It takes a village… We hope to see you on Monday, September 25th 17th. ~ Kind Regards, The Crownest Consolidated Athletic and Academic Society.

the operation of the Crowsnest Museum and plays a big part in helping it run through the slower, winter season.

"It really helps keep the museum financially stable through the winter as we head into a slower season and allows the staff to continue operating behind the scenes, working on the collection, getting ready for the next summer season, planning programming, booking schools. It allows us to do all those things and still open five days a week throughout the winter and operate as normal as we can,” says Matthews.

Doors open at 5:30 that evening for a cocktail social to the music of Shelly and Tynan Groves.

Dinner, catered by Country Encounters, begins at 6:30 p.m. A silent auction will be going all evening, a live auction will be held following the dinner and live music by the trio Sestra will provide musical entertainment into the night.

There will also be chances to win draws for a VIP table, a wine table and tickets for next year’s event.

“We have great pieces during the live auction, anywhere from 10 to 12 pieces each year. It's fun seeing a live bidding war,” says Matthews.

“We're very appreciative of all the sponsors, donors and guests that come out.”

All auction items are donated and as Matthews puts it, from art pieces to photographs to sports equipment, “there’s something for everyone.”

Two of the auction items are donated art pieces by former locals, Rick Gillis and his wife Jeanne Kollee.

The two paintings they donated embody Crowsnest Pass history in different ways.

Gillis’ 48 x 36 inch acrylic titled “Waiting for Danny” illustrates a young girl waiting for her boyfriend by the old Roxy theatre in Coleman.

“I liked the idea of the Roxy. I had a pretty nice picture of the Roxy that I had taken when I went up there and thought that it would be a dead picture if

Pictured left is a painting by Crowsnest Pass-born and raised Rick Gillis’ painting, Waiting for Danny, which he donated to the Crowsnest Historical Society to use as a live auction item at their annual Harvest of Memories fundraiser.

On the front page under “Harvest Gala” is Jeanne Kollee’s abstract painting titled “Fire in the Canyon: The Blairmore Blaze”, which she also donated for the fundraiser.

I just painted the theatre itself. I like to put people into my paintings and lot of my paintings have a storyline to them,” says Gillis.

Gillis has been a longtime supporter of the museum and the Crowsnest Historical Society and this isn’t the first time he has donated to the Harvest of Memories fundraiser. Last year, he contributed a special edition of his book, “The Boy Who Couldn’t Die”, signed by many of the characters from the book.

“Jane and I both feel an attachment to the Pass and we just wanted to do something,” says Gillis.

“I’ve always had an interest in the history and the preservation of history in the Pass. I think it's a worthy cause to contribute to."

Kollee adds, “We have a close relationship with the Pass and the people of the Pass. We have friends that still live there and there are a lot of things in the museum itself that remind you of your childhood and how you grew up."

Titled, “Fire in the Canyon: The Blairmore Blaze”, Kollee’s oil paint-

ing represents an entirely different moment in Crowsnest Pass history than Gillis’ piece.

It’s an expressionistic depiction of the 2003 York Creek Fire.

“I grew up in the Crowsnest Pass and my dad had a house in Bellevue and when the fire was there, he sat out on that porch and watched it burn up the mountain. To me, it was a devastating thing to happen,” says Kollee.

The annual fundraiser always takes place during Alberta Culture Days at the end of September. This year, the provincial celebration of arts, heritage, diversity and community spirit takes place from September 28 to 30, 2018.

The Holy Trinity Catholic Church will create a cozier, more intimate atmosphere than the locations where the gala fundraiser was formerly held in prior years, like the MDM and the Elk’s Hall.

Tickets can be purchased from Copy Magic in Blairmore or the Crowsnest Museum in Coleman.

Editorial and Opinions WHen you Have a dReam So I’ll tell you a story, perhaps about stupidity on my part, but a dream on my son’s part. This is Quinn’s story.

I believe that kids should do multiple sports, try everything and see what they love.

My boys have tried soccer, swimming, baseball, curling, hockey and lacrosse.

For Quinn, he settled on swimming in the summer and hockey in the winter. Because he swims, I have never put him in a hockey camp and until this year, we hadn’t participated in any spring hockey programs. I feel hockey is for the winter and swimming is for the summer.

Well I’ll tell you, my Quinn is an athlete.

He is the fastest 11-year-old to ever swim in zone F in three events since race times have been recorded starting in 1974. Yes, he’s that fast. He’s also a very good hockey player, choosing defense over being a forward. He likes to hit and be aggressive, so it’s the perfect position for his personality. We have only played house hockey here in the Crowsnest Pass. Because our numbers are low and our talent pool varied, we were slotted into Tier 4 to 6 throughout his hockey career. We were fine with that because he was playing with his friends and he was having fun.

This year, though, when Quinn found out he didn’t have a local team to play on because we don’t have the numbers (another rant, but not for this editorial), he chose to try out for an elite team in Lethbridge, basically jumping from Tier 6 house hockey to the highest level at Pee Wee, an AA team.

The problem is that this team is based out of Lethbridge. So, right after getting his medals at provincials he found Dino Caputo, who runs HPH Hockey school in Lethbridge (Dino was at our pool because his kids swim as well) and he asked Dino if he could attend his prep camp for tryouts. Dino’s words were, “Quinn it’s an invite-only camp, but if you want to try, I’ll give you a chance.” So off to prep camp we go... Six days in a row of driving to Lethbridge.

Quinn then asked Mel Bohmer, his spring hockey coach, to attend his tryouts to give him advice on how to showcase his talent. Mel, of course, came.

Quinn did all this on his own, taking the initiative to talk to both Dino and Mel. I let him try out, thinking there was no way this house hockey kid from Crowsnest Pass is going to make this elite team. I figured I’d let him have his dream of trying out, do the six-day drive to show him how time-consuming and how tiring it is, so that when he was cut, it would be a relief.

Well to my utter astonishment, he made the team. Well over 100 kids tried out and he made the team. Shoot! When I woke him up that night to tell him he was chosen, his words to me were, “Was I ranked number one in defense?” Of which I replied no... His comment, “Well, I will by Christmas.” When I told him I didn’t think I could do the drive or the commitment, he asked me to think about it that night. I woke up the next morning to the contact you see on the side of the editorial. How do you say no to a dream? Well, hockey, here we come and one day, when Quinn is an adult, he will know that we believed in his dreams because, really, what is life without dreams?

At least that’s the way I see it.

New high school Breakfast Program seeks donations AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

“We have concerns that some students are coming to school hungry.”

-Jill Klapp Vice principal To make sure that their students are equipped with full bellies ready to go for morning classes, Crowsnest Consolidated High School (CCHS) is looking to start a Breakfast Program that all students would have access to.

Jill Klapp, vice principal of CCHS, is spearheading the program and hopes to get up and running starting next school semester.

“We have concerns that some students are coming to school hungry,” says Klapp.

The idea is to offer a free continental-style breakfast bar with foods like cereal, bananas, toast and muffins.

The school is looking to raise $5,000, which would cover the cost of running the program for one semester.

So far, the program has received a donation of $1,200 from the Cozy Corner closing sale, where the fabric store donated the entire amount sold, before GST, to seven charities and programs in Crowsnest Pass.

Crowsnest Dental also donated $129, half the proceeds from their 50/50 draw held during their Customer Appreciation Day on September 15.

NIT builds a stage at Horace Allen School Twenty-three architectural students from the Nippon Institute of Technology (NIT) spent five days building a storage/stage structure for Horace Allen Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor classroom.

From September 8 to September 12, the Japanese students measured, cut and installed the structure in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most kids weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been exciting. They all work together really well and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re motivated. They all want to work and they never want to take a break. This is really the first time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had experience with power tools and they really enjoy it. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any injuries,â&#x20AC;? laughs carpentry instructor Justin Ames. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great confidence.â&#x20AC;?

Each year, non-profit organizations are invited to submit applications for projects and NIT selects one that that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural students will work on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The organizations submit applications and one application is chosen. Then students create various designs for the project, we get feedback from the organization, so on this project, Horace Allen, and they make revamps to those plans.

They get more feedback and then, Horace Allen chooses one plan,â&#x20AC;? says Phil Cann, the director of NIT. Over the years, the NIT has completed a number of projects around Crowsnest Pass, like the NIT Commemorative Plaza in Blairmore, the historic signs around town, a microhouse, a gazebo at the Bellevue Underground Mine and gardening frames at Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park.

AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

The Crowsnest Curling Club is gearing up for the upcoming season for the sport and is inviting new curlers, experienced players and newbies of all ages to join the fun.

Registration for the Crowsnest Curling Club is on Thursday, October 25 at 7 p.m. at the curling rink in the Coleman Sports Complex. If ice at the complex is ready by then, players will have a chance to get their first practice in after they register.

Annual registration is $150 for those under 50 years of age and $125 for those over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to have a bunch more curlers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great sport. A lot of people think that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any exercise doing it, but you do, especially the seniors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun thing. The only competition you have is with yourself because you never have the same team,â&#x20AC;? says Crowsnest Curling Club president Gary Sigsworth.

The first curling clinic is on Sunday, October 28. There is no cost to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where people who had never curled before or those that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t curled very much can come out and get a few lessons and see if they like it, no cost,â&#x20AC;? says Sigsworth.

The Crowsnest Curling Club will hold their four traditional bonspiels this season, the Doubles Bonspiel in February, the Shamrock Bonspiel in March, their biggest bonspiel the Bunny over Easter weekend and a lesser-known Minerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spiel where players curl in the dark with flashlights and glow sticks in January.

Curlers can join the Mixed league, the Seniors league or the non-competitive Open league.

The Crowsnest Curling Club invites nearby teams from Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek and Fernie to play in Coleman several times in the year, fun social mini-bonspiel events with little prizes at the end.

Sigsworth has been curling for about 45 years now and his tenure with the sport is simple: he just enjoys it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I love to do. I was pretty competitive before I came to the Pass and curled with the seniors but it just made me like the game more. I have an injured knee so last year was the first time curling with a stick, but it hasn't stopped my enthusiasm,â&#x20AC;? says Sigsworth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's just something I like.â&#x20AC;?

One of the difficulties The Crowsnest Curling Club is facing is low membership.

Sigsworth says one of the reasons why membership may be low is because of the shift work that much of the local population is enrolled in.

"Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like that with every mining town, we have men and women who are on shift work, either four on four on or week on week off. We haven't yet figured out how we can accommodate those curlers. But if somebody has an idea that we can welcome it,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that he would really like to see a Ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s league eventually.

Changes coming to CCHS curriculum New classes embrace experiential learning AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

With the goal of bringing the students closer to their community and their surroundings, Crowsnest Consolidated High School (CCHS) has created several new classes and programs that offer students hands-on learning in the outdoors.

"Last year, we played around with idea of what a program would look like that takes advantage of where we're physically situated, being at the base of the mountains. We're the only school in the division that sits nicely nestled in the mountain,” says principal of CCHS, Christine McKie. With that in mind, the

school is providing more opportunity for experiential learning activities.

With Horace Allen School’s outdoor classroom project that is currently underway and the new Nature Learning Play Space at the MDM Community Centre, outdoor learning is a directional focus in education for all ages.

“There will be more hands-on opportunities for kids to apply their learning from the classroom setting. We’ve talked about what we can add to our daily teaching or how often we can get out into the community, depending on what subject a teacher has,” says McKie.

Last year, for example, as part of Ms. Jill Klapp’s local geography course, kids were out “in the field” in Coleman doing research and looking into the history and rise of labour unions here in Crowsnest Pass. Another teacher, Mr. Rudy Schuh, invited students into his home to show them the different ways he creates heat energy in his house.

"It’s giving teachers permission to take their kids out there and seeing how you can apply the theory in our local environment,” says McKie. To better meet the needs of students interested in tourism, outdoor adventure, environmental stewardship, biological sciences and other outdoor-related career paths, a new course was created that gives them a handson experience in these skills.

The new “Outdoor Pursuits” course is very popular in its first year, with both the junior and senior classes being fully registered.

“We talked about the possibility of an outdoor pursuits-based course that could develop into a bigger program. The majority of the program will be outside doing handson stuff that is very playspaced locally and taking advantage of these awesome facilities that we have here,” says McKie. "We're just trying to really create opportunities for kids to get out of the

school and be a part of their community and learning in their community.”

In the winter, enrolled students will participate in activities like skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and learn snow safety and avalanche awareness. Springtime will include activities like climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, and trail building and maintenance.

“The hope long term is that it will continue to build and branch out into more than just being activity. So we have to think how we would make that play space connection from a math or science classroom,” says McKie. Another program, inspired by Google’s Genius Hour, allows students to spend time each week working on community or web-based projects they're passionate about that may not be offered in the traditional school curriculum, projects that develop leadership, environmental stewardship, finance, fine arts or trades.

"It’s a way to promote excellence in individualized programming, but also to promote collaboration, team building, and transferable skills that future employers want to see in the 21st century,” says Klapp, the vice principal of the school.

The projects will be presented at a Learning Excellence fair in January.

Kids + steps + sweat = healthier brains for our youth deSirea agar Alberta Health Services

Research shows that the more physically active kids are the better they will do in school, according to the new ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth. In light of this research, ParticipACTION has issued an expert statement on physical activity and brain health in children and youth.

Here is the expert

statement: “For better brain health, all children and youth should be physically active on a regular basis. In addition to physical health benefits, physical activity also improves cognition, brain function and mental health.”

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Pictures and thoughts Years ago, before cell phones, instant cameras and electronics, someone bought me a camera. It was a black box with a film on the back and a simple lens over an opening in the front. There was a crude mechanical shutter release on the front, and a viewfinder screwed to the top, nothing else.

This simple camera taught me more about life than any other device including the computer and the internet. It was based on the early knowledge of the eye, which people mistakingly used to call the window to the soul. It is not, since the soul is not the brain.

In the 50s, film was rather expensive and developing pictures much more yet. I had to study a lot of material to make sure that I didn’t waste any pictures and I did. I spent many days, in the age before television, when we had time to think, learning lifelong lessons which are still with me to this day.

First, you have to figure out what you will take a picture of. There must be something that for some reason is more important than the rest. We choose all the time what to pay attention to and exclude the rest. Try to choose what to think about. You will discover that mostly, you don’t. Life chooses it for you, and you go right into it without considering why. If you think about what to take a picture of, you can learn to select your thoughts.

Next, you need to figure out whether the subject of your picture is going to be the main item in your picture or if it is going to be a part of something bigger. Is it going to be a picture of an eye, a face, a body with the head or perhaps a scenery with a person somewhere in it? The eye is still there. This is a process that is done by itself, but we could do by paying attention. A good practice is to write down some of your thoughts. I face it every week when I am going to write this column. This week, I had some requests to write about current issues and local politics. There were some news items that I heard on international news, which are not known here, and cameras. Could my readers benefit from learning to choose what to think about? The latter won.

You probably notice, if you have an old camera, that light makes a difference. No pictures in the dark, but wonderful pictures in low light if one doesn’t use an automatic flash. Do you know how they take a picture of the Milky Way? The eye can hardly see it, but a long exposure shows millions of stars. If you pay attention to something for a long time, you get details that all others miss. No kidding, it is just an exercise in attentiveness and pa-

learners—such as focus, memory, and recall—are enhanced after getting physical active. Thus, adding more physical activity to kids’ routines could be the missing part of the equation to make them better students, athletes, and friends.

Read the full report to understand the science behind how physical activity can help the brain in cognition, brain function and structure & mental health. The report says

that getting active is a good idea because: • Getting moving is more effective than cramming for a test • Busy bodies results in bigger brains • The more active the body the more innovative the ideas • Being active helps students to focus better • Breaking a sweat releases feel good hormones, so kids who move feel great

tience. You must shine a light on something to see it.

I had the old camera for a while, and I became interested in portraits of people and animals. Faces intrigued my interest. Pretty pictures were loved by people, but I wanted to show through the camera lens the personality of creatures or the one thing that interested me the most, the soul. You can’t see, smell or touch a soul, but you sure feel that each is different from another. It seems as if the soul makes a body grow just a little bit to reflect its own nature.

It is evident in “first impressions” but more pronounced if you use serenity and take time to notice.

I remember how, as a child, I noticed that some people had wrinkles showing that they smiled a lot.

Some had frowning marks and some had what I called stone faces. There was a principal in my grade school who had a stone face and the kids used to say that he could paralyze you with a look. I never took his picture.

The next thing I noticed was that all creatures had a good side and a not so good side. In my thinking, I interpreted it as good or evil. It is true, and a child learns early in life to try and deal with the good side, unless they can’t find it. A few people have no expression and whatever they say can’t change the impression they project. At that point, the photographer can play with the angle of the camera.

Benito Mussolini forced all photographers to take his pictures from the bottom up. It made him look like a strong, powerful leader. Pictures from above the middle of the face make women look more feminine and so on. When you meet a person, you tend to choose from which angle you will remember them. It can be done by choice instead of chance. You can select to see them in sharp focus where every line and blemish counts, or you can see them in soft focus where the general outline is visible but the little details are not seen. Women prefer the soft focus and men the sharp. You can see a person how you want or expect them to be, depending on your emotional state and feelings towards them.

A photographer can direct your emotions about a person by choosing the angle, focus or distance from them. They don’t need to say a word.

Now in the age of complicated, sophisticated devices, we lost a lot of this knowledge. The camera corrects almost all of what I mentioned, and most pictures are taken from the front and middle by people who don’t know that you have so many choices. You must remember that you do have a choice and consider that what you see forms your thoughts, and your thoughts direct your emotions.

My friend told me that we use the creative power of God with our thoughts. You live in your thoughts and don’t forget it. Your thoughts are your reality, and often your reality is your choice.

This is one person’s opinion. Here is a link to my blog: thesimpleravenspost.blogspot.ca Feel free to check other articles and comment.

• More movement results in less anxiety • More physical activity equals less stress • Getting active results in increased self esteem In light of this evidence, parents and families can: • Encourage children and youth to meet the daily physical activity guidelines for their age, and support them in their efforts.

• Promote age-appropriate outdoor play as a way of improving decision making, problemsolving and self-confidence.

• Become aware of sport and physical activities that are appropriate for the skill level and abilities of children and youth.

• Learn about funding opportunities for participation in sports and recreation activities by children and youth.

• Explain the child’s strengths and needs to local physical activity and recreation providers so the instructors have the knowledge required to ensure an inclusive environment/experience.

• Be active as a family. This encourages physical activity, togetherness, social support and

connectedness, which are all important for good mental health.

• Seek out quality programming with trained instructors that support physical literacy.

The 2018 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth is the most comprehensive assessment of child and youth physical activity in Canada. The Report Card synthesizes data from multiple sources, including the best available peer-reviewed research, to assign evidence-informed grades across 14 indicators.

The 2018 Expert Statement on Physical Activity and Brain Health in Children and Youth is based on the findings of a team of experts in paediatric neuroscience and exercise science.

This Statement was written after multiple reviews, discussions and consultations with stakeholders.

The findings are applicable to all Canadian kids, regardless of gender, cultural background or socio-economic status, including those with disabilities.

Another truck can’t make the corner On Thursday, September 13, the far west turn-off to Tim Hortons was shut down for road crews to fix some paving areas on 20 Ave. in Blairmore. As a result, a truck that was trying to enter the Tim Hortons/Shell commercial area couldn’t make the turn. This isn’t the first time big transport trucks have been high centered at that intersection.

Just last year, the Pass Herald had a similar photo during the winter. The truck made it out of the area with the help of a grader that showed up to help pull the wheels out of the ditch.

Ground broken on Crowsnest golf course clubhouse AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

With the eight brand new holes at the Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club now complete, a Course Completion and Facilities Construction Kickoff was held on September 12 to celebrate the completion of the new holes and the breaking ground on the clubhouse.

In attendance were Riversdale Resources Limited employees and members of the Board of Directors, including the company’s executive director Michael O’Keefe, employees and board members of the Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club, golf course architect Gary Browning of Browning Designs Inc., clubhouse architect John Savill of Savill Group Architecture, members of Council and contractors.

Guests were given a golf-cart tour of the expanded course and attended the ground breaking ceremony for the new clubhouse, which is expected to be complete next year and will mark the end of major renovations at the Golf & Coun-

try Club. The new clubhouse is being built just behind reconfigured hole 18, with a stunning view of the Crowsnest Range from the deck.

Michael O’Keefe spoke about the value in the partnership between Riversdale Resources and the Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club.

“For us, by fueling a better place to live for people, you’re going to attract a workforce here, which helps build a community and we can also employ a lot of the local people. That’s critically important for us because if you’re going to be operating a mine in the area, the best is to do it with local people who understand the region and have the skills. So a way of doing that is working with the community on projects,” he said.

Hancock and Riversdale partnership, “a very nice position” At the ground breaking ceremony was also Tad Watroba, Executive Director of Australiabased Hancock Prospecting Pty Limited, the company that recently became a 19.99% share-

“This opportunity came up and we took the challenge,” says Watroba. “[Riversdale] has a good reputation and I believe it’s a very good project.

They have good experience developing mines so I hope we will be able to assist them a little bit with

construction and finances.”

O’Keefe highlighted that Hancock’s investment in Riversdale grants the company more financial security and assurance, calling it “a very nice position to be in.

“It gave us more cer-

tainty on our finances because before, we had a really good partner who is still with us, and they were providing us debt and then converting it into equity, but it was still a debt position for us,” says O’Keefe. “And there was also the question, is it going to continue or is it

not going to continue? By bringing in cash in straight equity with Hancock, that allowed us to pay back the debt that was outstanding and it also put us in a strong cash flow position. Now we have a very strong partner in Hancock Prospecting with us.”
