Hefty fines for shooting grizzly Crowsnest Pass

Max Krekhovetski has replayed over and over again in his head the nightmarish hunting trip he took two years ago.

As a new hunter, Krekhovetski shot his first whitetail deer during the hunting trip west of Claresholm. He excitedly brought it back to camp and hung it next to a deer already hanging high on a meat pole about 50 metres away.

During the night a grizzly bear tore off a chunk of the first deer, and hauled down Krekhovetski’s deer and dragged it into the bush.

It wasn’t long after when the nightmare began.

One of two men with whom Krekhovetski was hunting shot and killed the bear the following night, and assaulted Krekhovetski when he threatened to report the unlawful shooting to authorities.

“I was left extremely traumatized by the assault,” Krekhovetski said

Friday in Lethbridge provincial court, during a sentencing hearing for fellow hunters Jeffrey Edison Hambrook and Gary Edgar Gilson.

“To say that my life has flashed before my eyes is an understatement. What made it really scary for me was the fear that the assailants were driven by.”

Hambrook pleaded guilty Jan. 6 in Fort Macleod provincial court to a charge under the Wildlife Act of hunting out of season – as a protected species there is no hunting season for grizzly bears – and to charges under the Criminal Code of assault and uttering threats in relation to property. Gilson pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of wildlife, theft under $5,000 and uttering threats in relation to property.

The Crown had recommended fines and short jail sentences for the men, and although their lawyers agreed fines would be appropriate for the Wildlife Act offences,

they suggested jail is not warranted for the Criminal Code offences and the hunters should receive a conditional discharge.

Calgary lawyer Paul Brunnen said Hambrook, 38, is an “extremely good citizen” who acted out of character. “(Hambrook) is a good individual who did a very foolish thing in the heat of the moment,” Brunnen said. “My client is very embarrassed and very remorseful.”

The men were camping at a designated campsite Nov. 2, 2018 when Krekhovetski of Calgary shot the whitetail deer.

That night the bear dragged the deer into the woods, but the hunter found his deer the next morning, dragged it back to camp and hung it higher on the meat pole.

About 7:40 that evening, a light was activated by a motion sensor, and trail cameras caught the bear trying to get at the meat. At 10 p.m. the bear returned, but Hambrook and Gilson were hiding nearby. Shortly af-

terward Hambrook shot and killed the bear, and in response to a query by Krekhovetski, claimed he only fired a warning shot.

However, the next morning Krekhovetski found the grizzly bear, took a picture of it, then began arguing with Hambrook while taking pictures of vehicle licence plates. While taking pictures of Gilson’s licence plate, Krekhovetski and Hambrook began fighting and Hambrook pinned Krekhovetski to the ground.

When Krekhovetski refused to delete the photos from his cellphone Gilson took it from his pocket.

Gilson, who was holding an axe, threatened to smash the phone unless Krekhovetski gave him the password to access the phone. After other campers yelled for them to stop, Hambrook got off Krekhovetski and his phone was eventually returned to him. The next day, after he returned to his home in Calgary, Krekhovetski reported the incident.

Hambrook, Gilson and one other hunter, Jack Murphy, loaded the bear on a trailer and hid it in the woods a short distance away. When a Fish and Wildlife officer arrived to investigate the shooting, Murphy directed him to the hiding spot.

Defence suggested Friday that Krekhovetski should shoulder some of

the blame for hauling his deer carcass back to the meat pole after he was advised against it. Brunnen also downplayed the assault and said Hambrook and Krekhovetski simply wrestled each other to the ground and Hambrook sat on him.

Brunnen said the hunters eventually apologized to each other and even shared a “Kumbaya moment,” as they sat around a fire and discussed the incident. And Hambrook, Brunnen said, hasn’t hunted for two years.

Gilson’s lawyer, Jim Lutz, told court charges of uttering threats, even egregious ones, rarely attract anything more than a fine, and he suggested a conditional discharge in this case would not be contrary to the public interest.

Crown Prosecutor Michael Fox argued the hunters should not only face high fines, but a jail sentence between three and four months. He said the bear didn’t pose any threat to hunters, and the animal was shot at night, which showed a disregard for the safety of others in the area.

Fox pointed out warning shots are normally fired in the air, not toward the ground, and when the bear was discovered, it was hidden and left to rot.

The subsequent assault on Krekhovetski for fear he would report the

shooting to authorities is also serious, Fox stressed, and was not a “matter of impulse.”

“They didn’t have to do what they did,” Fox said. “They knew what they were doing.”

Krekhovetski consoled himself by believing the incident was spur-ofthe-moment and everyone felt badly afterward.

That changed, however, after his “assailants” returned to hunt the following weekend, and he began for fear for his life.

He told court he drives a different vehicle, spends less time in Calgary, and avoids going out in public as much as possible.

“I have kept a low profile on social media and avoid leaving any clues to my whereabouts,” he added.

Judge Eric Peterson handed both men a oneyear conditional discharge and prohibited them from hunting for three years. A conditional discharge is an order whereby an offender will not be sentenced for an offence unless a further offence is committed within the period of the discharge. Once that period has elapsed, the conviction is removed from the record.

Hambrook was also fined $12,000 for shooting the bear, while Gilson was fined $10,000 for unlawful possession of wildlife.

Both men were given nine months to pay their fines.

New hunting progam to be tested Local Resident Behind New Pilot Program for Disabled Hunters DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Local resident and hunter Raymond Cairns has spearheaded a pilot program for disabled hunters.

Cairns says when he went to get his discharge permit, he was told he could hunt but would be unable to retrieve his kills.

"I was going to get my discharge permit and they said I can go and take my quad and I can hunt but I can't go off the trails with my quad to get my game. For a disabled person with limited mobility, that's an impossibility. We hadn't even entered their minds because nobody had asked about these things."

After being told there was nothing that would be done to allow Cairns to go off trail and pick up his game, he went all the way to the top and called the Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks.

"I phoned Nixon and

told him that I wanted to hunt but wasn't able to because I wasn't allowed to go get the game after I shot it. Within three days, they came up with a pilot program.”

Cairns says the pilot program includes a letter of authority stating the disabled hunters ability to go and pick up their game and also provides

this program will help give disabled hunters a sense of accomplishment as well.

"From no program to having a program that allows disabled hunters to go in and actually do a hunt and come out with their game and feel good they were able to do something is great."

Cairns says he

"I phoned (Jason) Nixon and told him that I wanted to hunt but wasn't able to because I wasn't allowed to go get the game after I shot it. Within three days, they came up with a pilot program.”

- Raymond Cairns the hunters with the same permit card as all workers to put on their vehicles to show they are authorized to go off trail.

Cairns also emphasized that this is a pilot program and changes could come.

Cairns wants to make sure all disabled hunters now know they have this option.

"I want to announce that these letter of authorities will be offered to all disabled hunters depending on their disability."

According to Cairns,

pleased with the quick turn around for getting this pilot program up and running.

"It took them three days to come up with this out of Edmonton and I'm pretty happy they paid that much attention to it."

Any disabled hunters looking to receive the letter of authority and permit card are able to do so when registering for their discharge permit.

"The first thing they do is get a hold of the parks service in Pincher Creek to get their letter of

authority. They're the same people you would ask for the discharge permit. You tell them you're disabled and you need a letter of authority and stuff to go with it and they'll call you in and give it to you. They'll also give you the rules and regulations that go with it."

Cairns says he feels a sense of responsibility when he goes hunting now.

"For me, this is kind of a catch 22 because I have to be really good doing this. I can't afford to make any mistakes when I hunt because I'm the very first one so it's all sitting on my shoulders."

Cairns says he hoped that through this pilot program he might be able to meet other disabled hunters.

"I'd like to see other hunters going out too. I'd like to meet some of them so I can maybe find another partner to hunt with. I don't have a partner right now. It would be nice to meet other disabled hunters that are doing the same thing I am."

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Music and History in the making.

There are various ways by which civilizations dispose of the bodies of those who died, and often their artistic images outlast their physical remains. Sometimes the burial monuments are preserved for their artistic value. We form our opinions about past civilizations by studying their art and creating stories around the artifacts.

Up to mid-eighteen hundreds, only visual art could be preserved, and then humans developed specialized equipment to preserve sound. The Phonograph and soon later the Gramophone were invented. No longer only the high society could enjoy the best musical performances like operas, symphonies, and concerts.

A hundred years later I arrived on earth and was part of the first generation of sound consumers using “vinyl” records to reproduce the art of music. A kid like me didn’t need to be born rich to go to operas and concerts. I could save my money and buy a “45” record and listen to the most popular music. Millions of us did.

For the first time in history, we had a way to gauge the effect of music and songs on culture. In 1963 I purchased a recording of The Browns singing the song Three Bells, or as many called it Jimmy Brown.

There’s a village hidden in the valley among the pine trees half forlorn and there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born. (Bells ringing.)

The song goes on describing the second time bells ring for Jimmy Brown when he “meets his love” and a third time when he passed away. “Then the little congregation, Prayed for guidance from above, Lead us not into temptation, Bless this hour of meditation, Guide us with eternal life.” The old system where people were bred to work, reproduce, and die was changing. In Quebec, Canada, the Habitants realized that they were slaves of the rich and refused to slave away for an hour of meditation and promises of eternal love. They demanded equal wages, unionized, and got it. The “quiet revolution replaced the Duplessis era.”

In 1968 I bought another 45 record named “Master Jack” by Four Jacks and a Jill. In 68 the world was going wacky. The US looked almost like a war zone with people fighting in the streets. African countries were gaining freedom from Colonial powers and music was breaking all the old rules. Master Jack was recorded in South Africa where people were fighting against apartheid and started with the

swering phone. The person will ask for SIN and other personal info, such as date of birth, address, etc. Victims who provide personal info are at risk of identity fraud.

Also, Do not say yes to any questions if you are unsure of who is calling as people can use voice recognition to access other information.

Anyone with information regarding any crime is urged to contact the Crowsnest Pass RCMP Detachment at 403-562-2867, or Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-422TIPS. Reminder to residents of computer scams, credit cards scams, Grandparent scams, Revenue Canada scams asking for money or cash cards and saying warrants out for arrest, do not give out personal information to persons you don't know.

words “It’s a strange, strange world we live in Master Jack.” It thanked Master Jack for teaching but said that “I want to see the world through my own eyes and I will never come back.” It sold millions of copies and the world changed some more. Master Jack, the British Empire, has no more colonies. Humankind was freeing itself from servitude for the privilege of staying alive.

The ”seventies” were not easy, people worked hard and got rewarded accordingly. Many of us poor people joined the middle class and social programs took care of the most vulnerable. There was an outcry about the costs which proved to be “fake news”. We Canadians were paying much less per capita than our equals next door. Those of us who benefited from higher education worked, innovated, and made our province into what you see today.

The last 45 vinyl record I remember purchasing was “Don’t cry for me Argentina” from the movie Evita. Here was a beautiful young woman from modest beginnings who made her way to the top. She had friends in high places and used her extraordinary skills in public relations to hand Argentina over to the elite, trusting that she would be able to help her people. She died young, and another took her place, ending up being the first female president of the country. That approach didn’t work. The two beautiful women should have focused on organizing the poor people to use their numbers for gaining rights, freedom, and equality. I have witnessed the power of an attractive young woman telling people to each organize five friends to protest injustice, and it worked.

The world now is in turmoil, and people have enough of being used. People are scared to lose the world to the greed of a few. A pandemic arrived, miraculously at the right time, to expose how much those who benefit most don’t care about those who give them the wealth.

For the time being, the governments are using the fear to prevent social action, but it gives the masses time to absorb their situation and plan for the future.

Here I see our “elected representatives” trying to reduce and demoralize our social medical program. If we lose that the working people will once again be enslaved to their employers who will provide group health insurance that you lose if you don’t have a job. So far the conflict is less on the streets and more on the internet, but this may change. Young people are aware of what awaits them if they don’t fight for their rights.

Now music is on electronic devices, carried easily in a pocket, and entering the brain through headphones. It is not the romantic music that my grandparents so admired and my mother sung to me when I was a baby. The music I hear is disturbingly loud and very emotional. It gives away the mood of the huge number of people who now inhabit the earth.

If you talk to some people, you hear that our big problem is that we have too many people. Yes, we do if we sit back and not act. Poor, uneducated people multiply fast. If you ask the billions of individuals they all want to live out their lives as comfortable as possible. We don’t have too many candidates willing to give up life, so a few greedy people will have more. We must prepare for “post-capitalism” now.

Editorial So I’m all about mental health and personal growth lately. The Pass Herald is having an amazing year; even through COVID the paper has flourished in ways I haven’t seen in a long time. We just reached 2200 readers a week. I just about fell over when I looked at our hard copy and digital analytics and realized how many people read what we put out each week. I think our paper has been successful for a number of reasons, one, that it’s locally owned by my family and has been for years. There is a certain trust you get when you see consistency. I have amazing staff that works hard each week to make sure I have content, beautiful ads and advertising period. Without ads I can’t pay the bills. I consistently take calls from people who love reading my editorials. Maybe it’s because I’m not a bullshitter and I fill you in on my life, both ups and downs; the reader can relate to some of it, if not all.

I put a quote on Facebook a bit ago with a swear word in it. One of my Facebook acquaintances, because are any of them really friends, commented that I used bad language and that isn’t becoming of a politician. I first commented to her and then unfriended her. First, I knew who I was before I ran for council and I certainly haven’t forgotten who I am after three years on council. Most days I just feel like a whipping post for people who are unhappy, however, I always listen and remind them, usually after they vent and after they have calmed down, that my job is to listen to their issues and find answers. So I swore before I became a politician and I will continue to after. For the record, our mayor has only had to gavel me once.

To sum up my life in a nutshell I’ll tell you a story: At the end of summer I joined Consistent Fitness in Pincher Creek. It’s a CrossFit type of gym. I always look for different activities to try, so when my friend Danielle invited me, I went. I get up at 5 am three days a week to join an incredible group of people who bring a tremendous amount of positivity and joy to my life. They don’t know me, they don’t judge my ability (and as I’ve never done CrossFit kind of stuff, I’m terrible), but I am proud of myself for even trying something new. It’s hard to put yourself out there.

When I started I couldn’t do one pull up. It’s a bit demeaning when everyone around you is doing them like it’s a normal workout thing and you went in thinking you are super fit and strong. After four weeks I didn’t do just one, but five sets of three. Everyone congratulated me and Paula our coach made me feel like I had won the lottery.

I actually cried in my truck when I was alone big ugly tears of triumph for these reasons: I have met incredible, strong women who surround and protect my heart, I have lunch dates with people I haven’t talked to in years, I have learned how cruel some can be and despite their cruelty I have learned to forgive as it’s their journey and not mine. I have learned kindness and self-love. I wear a ring that says, ‘I am enough’ and I realize I really am. I have learned more about personal growth in the last four weeks, and this summer climbing my mountains and running marathons in the hills alone, than I have learned in all my years of university. I also learned that I am okay alone. That’s a huge revelation for some people, especially me.

I also joined Crowsnest Martial Arts and I can’t put into words how much I love it. I am terrible, I can’t kick or hit hard, but every time I show up and try.

However, on my really bad days I think of the people who have hurt me and surprisingly my cross is pretty good. Dan says Lisa get out of your head, quit thinking and just do it and when I do I’m pretty fierce.

So, my rant is this: if you persevere at things whether it is your business or your personal demons or life in general eventually you will shed all the bullshit you have been told by people around you and start to believe in yourself.

Thank you for this harvest Dear Editor; As the leaves change colour and the day greets us with a crispness to the morning air, the excitement of the end of harvest sets in.

Harvest is a significant time of year for our farmers. It is the culmination of all their hard work.

After months of planning, preparing, seeding, fertilizing, and spraying, harvest is the end result. The fruit of all their labours.

In the spring, there

was something so reassuring driving through the Foothills and watching the farm families hard at work. Farmers continued to seed just as they always had, in spite of the uncertainty facing our world. Our farmers kept working so our grocery shelves would be stocked and food on our dinner tables.

With the chill of fall setting in, I felt such a warm comfort to see the combines out in the fields

throughout harvest. As the mountain peeks turned white and the golden fields became quiet, I was proud for each of these farmers and their families as they celebrate another successful harvest.

Thank you to all the farmers, ranchers, producers and your families across Foothills, for your steadfast work, your commitment to growing and producing the highest quality food for Canadian

families and customers around the world.

Thank you for your early mornings and late nights, your battles with the weather and challenges outside of your control.

Thank you for setting the example to keep working and doing what we can, even when we are not sure what the future may hold.

John Barlow Member of Parliament, Foothills

Teck funding for Kids Corner bike park UROC

UROC is pleased to announce that we have received $40,000 financial support from Teck, Sparwood for our Kids Corner Biking and Heritage project. The value of Teck’s donation is expected to cover most of the expenses both for the trails and the museum displays. We are very appreciative of Teck’s contribution to assist us in creating something with

lasting value for our community.

UROC has partnered with Crowsnest Museum and with the support of the Municipality to build Kids Corner. The project is located on municipal land on the south side of Blairmore at the lower end of the ski hill road.

Kids Corner has a little over 1 km of mountain biking trail and includes many fun and challenging features for biking

skill development. The target age group is 6 to 12year-olds.

Crowsnest Museum has provided three large exhibits for display within the area.

Their interpretive signs will include descriptions of the equipment and their role in local area mining.

This new facility will compliment the existing trails as well as the nearby Bike Skills Park, Elizabeth Sellon School playground

and playing fields. Besides biking, the trails are suitable for short walks in an enjoyable setting.

The development has been designed and managed by UROC with many volunteer hours led

by Jim Lucas, Trails Coordinator.

UROC is an Alberta registered society based in Crowsnest Pass providing recreational opportunities for the mountain biking community.

This year’s first snowfall was much more pleasant than the last.

Instead of the over a foot we received on September 29th we got a few cm’s that whitened our world over the weekend.

I find I have a love hate relationship with the season we call winter.

Snow and colder temperatures mean that ponds start to freeze and once that happens it’s pond hockey season.

Over the years I’ve spent many hours out on ponds playing hockey with friends and family and there’s not much that beats those hours outside.

Snow also means the chance to cozy up inside by a crackling fire while sipping hot chocolate.

It’s such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon or evening as you look out the window and see the flakes fall.

I also enjoy seeing my nieces and nephews enjoying the snow.

Whether it’s sledding with them or just seeing them jump around in it, it’s always fun seeing them enjoy the snow.

I’ll also get to see my two twin nephews experience snow for the first time, which I’m sure will be entertaining.

Possibly the best part of winter, especially in a place like the Crowsnest Pass is having a dusting of snow overnight and waking up to bright sunny skies the next morning.

Everything is still white and seeing the snow covered mountaintops really is beautiful.

Of course, the first snowfall also signals that Christmas is coming soon and as this issue comes out we are officially only 65 days away!

Snow isn’t always a positive though.

Icy roads and bitter cold temperatures aren’t always fun, especially when your vehicle doesn’t start the next morning.

There are definitely times I wish snow and winter would end.

Brushing off your vehicle gets really old really fast, shoveling driveways and sidewalks is basically a pain right from the start.

While those negatives can feel really negative at times, I try and focus on the positives of time spent with family and friends, enjoying the beauty of a fresh snowfall or sitting by the fire sipping a hot chocolate.

Now let’s just hope for some reasonable amounts of snowfall this winter and choose to enjoy the positives this season can bring.

Crowsnest Pass Golf Club wraps up amazing season The course saw 9000 member rounds and over 15,000 green fee players, most of them from outside the community DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Crowsnest Pass Golf Club wrapped up a successful season last week.

General Manager Waren Gietz says this sea-

son was a strange one but that he’s pleased with how it went.

“The season started out with many unknowns. We were even uncertain if we would be golfing this year. Through

20104AA5

the hard work of our lobby groups and industry associations we were able to convince regulators that we could safely provide a place for outdoor recreation. We were thrilled that we were permitted to golf, and it turned out to be our busiest season ever. Our new facilities and course have been extremely well received and we are now on several “must play” lists.”

Gietz says the number of golfers who played this year took a large jump and says most of the rounds played were from people outside the community.

“Our numbers were up significantly. We had 9,000 Member rounds and over 15,000 green fee players, most of them from outside of our community. We are drawing people from all over western Canada. The word is getting out about our spectacular golf course

and we continue to gather accolades. Golf Life Alberta ranked us as the third best mountain course in Alberta, behind Jasper and Silver Tip in Canmore and ranked ahead of Kananaskis and Banff.”

what Crowsnest Pass Golf Club was able to achieve this year.

“I believe our largest achievement this year was successfully providing an excellent golf experience during a pandemic, while moving into new

Gietz says that with the increase in players, the club will make some adjustments.

“We will be making adjustments to deal with the increased visits to our course and will be employing around 50 people next year.”

- Warren Gietz General Manager, Crowsnest Pass Golf and Country Club Gietz says that with the increase in players, the club will make some adjustments.

“We will be making adjustments to deal with the increased visits to our course and will be employing around 50 people next year.”

Gietz is very proud of

facilities mid-summer.

There were so many changes to manage. I am most proud of the staff and volunteers who made our 2020 season successful. Thanks and congratulations to all of them.”

The club is also looking forward to next year and beyond.

“We are excited for next year and already planning for 2021 and beyond. We are looking at expanding our food and beverage services to include some unique mountain dining experiences, and also using our new clubhouse facilities for retreats, seminars, and corporate events. The golf course will continue to offer exceptional playing conditions and draw new people and visitors to the Crowsnest Pass and we always look forward to this.”

Gietz says he’s grateful to the community for their support and encourages locals to use the facilities as much as possible.

“We would like to thank the community and membership for their continued support, and want to remind residents of the Crowsnest Pass that this is their Club, and they should feel free to enjoy the world class setting and facilities.”

Keep your kids safe at Halloween SubmitteD Keep your kids safe at Halloween 20104KA0

Halloween is a fun time for children. However when combined with costumes, the weather, and darkness, the excitement of the night can pose danger to little ones.

We can't control the weather or the darkness.

But we can do a few things to keep Halloween safe.

Costumes • Ensure footwear and costumes fit properly and provide appropriate protection against weather conditions.

• Ensure costumes aren’t a tripping hazard.

• Add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags. This ensures your child is visible in the dark.

• Choose costumes, beards and wigs labeled "flame-resistant".

• Choose face paint or make-up instead of a

mask that can interfere with your child’s vision.

• If your child is wearing a mask or a head piece, ensure they can see clearly from the front and both sides, and that it doesn’t interfere with their breathing.

• Never allow your child to carry a sharp or dangerous costume prop, such as a knife or sword.

Trick-or-treating • Children are safest if they trick-or-treat in groups. Don’t let them trick-or-treat alone.

• Accompany your child until you feel comfortable that they are old enough to go without parental supervision.

• Remind your child that the same safe road rules apply when trick-or-treating as they do any other night. Always walk on sidewalks,

and cross the street at crosswalks or street corners only.

• Teach your child to trick-or-treat in well-lit areas, and to only visit homes that have outside lights turned on.

• Pack a flashlight in your child’s trick-ortreat bag.

• Remind your child never to go inside a stranger’s home or car.

• Before your child digs into their treat bag, be sure to inspect all goodies.

• Discard all candy that has a loose, broken, or open wrapper.

• Discard homemade candy or baked goods provided by people you don't know.

• Wash all fruit, and cut it into pieces to inspect it before eating.

Mark and Dawn Rigby, owners of Country Encounters Hospitality, a catering company and bed and breakfast in Coleman, have been in business in Crowsnest Pass for the past 17 years, offering great food and a place to get away. The pair, who have more than 25 years of experience as professional chefs, offer in-house or on-location catering, as well as party rentals and room rentals at their bed and breakfast, located at 7701 17th Avenue

in Coleman. The one-stop shop for all your party needs offers everything from the venue to the china and table linens, as well as top quality meals from a variety of menus.

Mark and Dawn chose to set up shop in the Pass due to the developing tourism industry and beautiful mountain setting. The Rigbys erected an addition of another building across the street adding another five guest rooms and Encounters Wine Bar and Small Plate Kitchen.

Changes and new additions to the menu further reflect their “go local” philosophy. “Our customers are the most important component in our operation,” said Dawn. “We try to treat them as we wish to be treated.

This is reflected in everything we do, from customer service to the selection of our products, to the care taken in providing every meal.”

We offer a wide selection of renovated or newer homes from $800. Including utilities to To $4,100. + utilities and everything in-between. Our distinctive commercial spaces are located on main street Bellevue with fresh and unique designs inside and out.

By far majority of our property investors are from out of town, province or country; all savoy and successful in their areas of expertise, they recognized the value of investing in our area. Many of the investors I have never met or only met once in person but we have established a fun working relationship via phone and internet. There is a definite inflex of investors checking out our area in the last 2 years.

We are equally selective of the homes we take on, who we work with and the tenants we rent to. As the middle person it is important to us that both sides are being treated with respect. We only accept tenants and property owners who take pride in their home and yards 2020 had its challenges for everyone. We pulled back a bit from some of our plans but it has still been a great year for us as we adjusted to the way we did showings check ins and outs while meeting the new regulations due to COVID , and maintained our 0% vacancy rate.

Last month we launched another Welcome package and invited over 40 local businesses to join us in Welcoming new people to our area. The booklet is Free for all, loaded with free subscription and admissions to our attractions, 2 for 1, and generous discounts. We hand them out to our new tenants but wanted to make sure everyone feels welcome so they are available, also free of charge to all new comers to our area weather they rent from us or not. You can see more info how to get yours on our website.

We support other local businesses by using their services: plumbers, electricians, carpenters, appliance repair, handy men, yard care, cleaners, roofers, appliance stores, book keepers, accountants and assistants.

There outstanding service to our company is big part of our success.

To show our appreciation for the care our tenants take of their homes and yards, we held a beautiful Yard contest for our tenants. 6 winners received discounted rent in Aug 2020 from $100.00 to $500. each.

People are intrigued with our company mascot, Passquatch. We have had so many requests for Passquatch merch that we finally did it. Passquatch diligently selected 17 human businesses, suppliers and brilliant artisans from the Rocky Mountains to partner with and pull together his unique and quality merch line: Artesian soaps, pottery beer steins and coffee mugs, candles, pipes, t shirts, hoodies and essential oil.

No humans were harmed in the process, and just like Passquatch his souvenirs were made with Mother Nature's Blessing.

Local resident completes third cookbook DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Joni MacFarlane has been in love with cooking for a long time.

That love turned into creating cookbooks to share recipes and ideas with others.

"I have three cookbooks now. I'm very proud of them. They're a lot of fun to do and a lot of work. I did my first one with soup in 2016. It's called 52+ Weeks of Soup.

I realized I was making soup all the time. I love soup and had a million recipes. I started writing them down and then I started taking pictures of them. My husband said why don't you put them in a book. I did and it went crazy. People love soup. I've sold a lot of books."

After seeing the success from her first cookbook, MacFarlane decided to create a second one.

"I created a salad one next that came out in 2018. It's called 52+ Weeks of Salad. They're not just lettuce. There are grains, beans, fruits and vegetables and all sorts of stuff.

That one did really well too. That was also a lot of fun."

MacFarlane's next idea for a cookbook came from her joy of entertaining.

"Before Covid, I used to entertain a lot and have parties and dinner parties. I was always making

appetizers and party foods. That stuff is a lot of fun to make and people love eating it. I did a third one and it's my brand new one that's just out.

It's 52+ Weeks of Party Foods and Appetizers. It's available throughout the Crowsnest Pass and in Pincher Creek. People can also get it through me."

MacFarlane says she added something to this cookbook to help people remember to stay safe.

"I had this book ready in February and I was going to do all the summer markets and then Covid hit and put a kibosh on everything. I thought that I'd still go ahead with it. Christmas is coming and we might not be entertaining the way we used to but these books make great Christmas gifts. I did put a little section at the beginning about Covid and realizing people don't entertain the way they used to. I also provided some tips on how to serve food and host people and be safe. I did put that in the book so that people recognize that I'm not advocating that we ignore the safety rules but you still have to eat and you might as well eat well."

The idea for these cookbooks came from MacFarlane's love of food.

"I love eating, I love cooking and I love cooking for people. I do a lot of it and I just have a lot of

recipes that I've either created or have come my way through friends and family and I just wanted to put them all together in a book. Really it was the soup one that started it all and I had no intentions of writing cookbooks for the rest of my life but that was just so much fun and was so well received I thought why not carry on."

MacFarlane says there's a little bit of everything in her cookbooks.

"There's something for everyone in these cookbooks. I'm a vegetarian and have been for almost 40 years but they aren't vegetarian books.

There are meat recipes in them. The other thing about cooking is that you can be creative. If there's an ingredient you don't like, you can substitute something else in. I just want people to enjoy them, have fun and eat well."

Anyone interested in purchasing one of MacFarlane's cookbooks can do so at the Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallery Gift Shop, Crockets Trading Company, Crowsnest Museum, Crowsnest Cafe and Fly Shop or in Pincher Creek at the Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village.

The books are also available through MacFarlane by email at joni.macfa@gmail.com or by phone at 403-563-7725.

Flu shots are ready to go Government of Alberta

Flu shots are now available free of charge at pharmacies and doctors’ offices across the province. Alberta Health Services (AHS) is also offering immunizations by appointment for those under five years old and those in their household.

This year’s flu season presents an additional challenge as Alberta responds to COVID-19. Immunization will help protect vulnerable Albertans, as well as decrease influenza-related tests, emergency room visits and hospitalizations during the pandemic.

The government has ordered a record 1.96 million doses of vaccine to help protect the health of Albertans.

“Getting immunized is more important now than ever before. It’s the best way to protect your health and the health of your friends and neighbours. It will also allow our health system to keep focusing on the fight against COVID-19 while we continue safely opening Alberta’s economy.”

Jason Kenney, Premier “We’ve purchased a record amount of vaccine and made changes to ensure that getting your flu shot is as safe and easy as possible. By keeping cases of influenza low, we can make sure our health-care system can keep responding to the COVID19 pandemic and all the other health-care needs that Albertans face every day.”

Tyler Shandro, Minister of Health “The flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, but it will reduce your chances of getting sick with influenza and spreading it to others. While getting immunized helps, it’s also crucial to wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes and stay home when sick. If you have flu symptoms, book a test for COVID-19 as symptoms are similar. Let’s all do our part to keep one another safe.”

GRANT WILLIAMS

Obituary

August 30, 1948 ~ October 12, 2020

It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Grant Williams of Coleman, AB passed away peacefully with his family by his side on October 12, 2020 after a six-year battle with cancer. He was 72 years of age.

Grant was born in Raymond, AB on August 30, 1948 to proud parents, Kenneth and Joan Williams. He was raised to appreciate all of life’s blessings, to cherish family and friends, and to work hard no matter the task. On December 27, 1969, Grant married the love of his life, Wanda Caldwell. During their amazing forty-three year marriage they raised a loving family and created countless wonderful memories together.

When Grant retired from Fording Coal in August 2013, he had worked as an equipment operator there for thirty-one years – something he was very proud of. Before retirement and after, he enjoyed any activity that allowed him to get out and appreciate the beautiful area he lived in.

Whether camping, quadding, fishing, or pheasant hunting with his treasured dog, Bailey, he was always happy when immersed in nature. More than anything, Grant loved his family and he was most content when spending time with them. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. May we take comfort in beautiful memories of Grant, and in knowing that he is now reunited with his beloved wife, Wanda.

Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his son, Dustin Williams of Lundbreck, AB; his daughter, Carman (Robert) Graf of Lundbreck, AB; his grandchildren, Katelyn George, Gareth Williams, Reid Mosby, Chandler Graf and Carley Graf; his sisters, Rosemary (Richard) Owen of Wrentham, AB and Gail (Arie) DeHeer of Penhold, AB; numerous nieces, nephews and extended family; as well as many friends, especially Dwight LaRose.

He was predeceased by his wife, Wanda Williams; his parents, Kenneth and Joan Williams; his brothers, Clive Williams and Wayne Williams; and his precious canine companion, Bailey.

The Funeral Service was held at 1:00pm on Friday, October 16, 2020 at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel, Blairmore, AB with Pastor Al Robinson officiating. Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca), or by the Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Glen Girhiny

An introduction to the electorate of the Pass Submitted

With the present Covid 19 restrictions, it is hard to have any forums that the electorate can come to meet and greet the candidates of this By-Election.

So, with this letter I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Glen Girhiny and I have resided in the Crowsnest Pass all my life. I have witnessed the up and downs of this community for decades. I have worked in both underground and strip mines, both locally and in neighbouring BC. I have owned and operated a retail business on main street Blairmore for 20 years. I have sat on the Economic Development Board as well as the board of the Historical Society. I have been involved with Ducks Unlimited for over 30 years and still actively fund raise for them and other charities today. I am presently working as a realtor at a local brokerage.

Since nomination day I have been asked a few

questions when I meet people around town.

Some of these questions are.

1. Why no Election Signs?

This being a by-election, with less than a year left on this term, I decided to spend the money to advertise myself a bit differently. Instead of spending on signage, I took that money, added to it , and donated a Sponsorship to the Harvest of Memories, to support the local Historical Society in these challenging times.

2. Tourism I believe we have to continue to encourage this at every opportunity.

Covid has shown us that people know where we are, and has also shown us our shortcomings.

3. Industry I support any and all opportunities of prosperity, whether in Industry or Entrepreneurship. The local buzz of the possibility of mining coming back to our valley is both exciting and scary. Should this eventually become reality

we need to ensure that it is done at the highest level to protect the valley we call home.

4. OHV This is a touchy subject in many peoples eyes, but I would like to think that there is room enough in our area to allow all forms of this recreation.

Again, any outdoor recreation needs to be done showing the utmost respect for the form of recreation being done.

5. Growth Hopefully prosperity does indeed come back to our valley. The conversation needs to be had on the availability of some form of low income housing, seniors developments, as well as residential expansion. We need to support and hopefully expand on our local Hospital. In today's world the guarantee that our hospital will always be here is foolhearted.

In closing I would like to encourage everyone to get out and vote on October 26.

Vote

Looking Back

In an April 17th, 2019 column (What Lies Beneath Us – Part 1) the topic I explored was the vast underground extent of the coal mines in the Crowsnest Pass. I suggested back then that a very narrow cross-hatched outlined area running north of the highway on the west side of Frank, as per the ERCB mine-map viewer sketch, was probably a big exploration adit. I have since come to learn that it was in fact the Frank North Mine and its details are quite astonishing. I managed to get a technical sketch of exactly what went on there and it made for some interesting reading.

North Mine is the name I have given this operation to help discern it from the main South Mine that entered Turtle Mountain at its base and travelled all the way over its east flank to Hillcrest! As I contemplated the rudimentary sketch I discerned that there was much more to the North Mine than I realized. The first thing I noted on the drawing was a vertical shaft that went no less than 330 feet deep! Holy Cow, this is unprecedented in Pass coal mine development.

Typical Pass mines drove entries into the Kootenay Formation coal outcrops that had some pitch to them, generally around thirty degrees. So there was always rock, usually massive a sandstone, that formed the roof of the workings and was somewhat stable. But how you mine with no stable roof and nothing but coal above you must have been a bit tricky.

It turns out there were portions of the Frank North coal mine that ran both north and south from this super deep shaft on the sketch. The hoisting shaft was located just south of the highway approximately across from Pure Country, just south of the tracks. The underground mine was developed south at the 330 foot depth for about 1,000 feet before it ran into a geological fault that blunted off the coal. Logic dictates that they were trying to connect to their mine at the toe of the mountain. That tunnel didn’t make it and the mines inspector ruled that they could not try and get around that fault.

So they mined north from that shaft 2,400 feet at that same depth (330 feet) and then proceeded to mine upwards in the almost vertical seam employing what they called the “diamond system” of mining. Still haven’t found a cogent explanation of how this worked but it must have been tricky and dangerous. Throughout the Frank coal mine history of approximately 19 years, 20 men were lost. Undoubtedly some were killed working the north section of that vertical coal seam.

The development of the Frank North Mine began about the same time as the ill-fated Canadian Metal Company’s Frank zinc smelter began construction. That smelter, as we all know, was located in and around where Goat Mountain Get-A-Way now operates their first class mountain cabins. It is not clear from newspaper articles as to whether the smelter company intended to buy the coal being mined from underneath it or not. The smelter story is a complicated one that I won’t get into but the simple thinking at the time was this. If it takes two tons of coal to smelt one ton of zinc, why not bring the zinc to the coal instead of the coal to the zinc.

As the mine headed north the topography above it climbs towards Bluff (Goat) Mountain and as some point the company chose to drive a new horizontal entry into the seam. It was part way up the slope north of the highway and was called A Level. This entry went in 1400 feet before it stopped and appears to have connected to the main mine below it that ran under the highway. Quite remarkable isn’t it? I would give my right arm to be there at that time to see how the hell it all went around. But I am not sure if I would have gone in to the mine!

The infrastructure at the hoist house was fairly complicated and included a towering hoist frame visible in some old pictures. There is also a large 20 foot high trestle running south from the hoist to the main south mine tipple which was close to the toe of the mountain. A rail spur line runs back north from the tipple alongside the trestle towards the hoist and then splits with one line arcing to the east and one running past the hoist and connecting to the main CPR line.

The arcing line appears to allow coal to be hauled up yet another trestle that sat right alongside the CPR tracks and allowed, with storage bins, for coal to be loaded straight into coal cars on the main line.

Coal from the hoist area could also be sent directly into a massive “power house and electrical light station” which sported its own typical tall smoke stack. Recently I found a bit of the power house foundation remains across from Pure Country. One can usually tell power plant foundations as there often are large threaded bolts sticking out of the concrete that the generators or boilers were mounted to.

Doesn’t this just blow your mind? As you drive east through Frank you pass over the old mine tunnel and on your right towards the bottle depot was that entire amazing infrastructure. First of all, driving a vertical shaft into an ancient till-filled valley bottom 330 down was a feat unto itself. Holding it open and free of water turned out to be a serious issue and required continuous pumping. Don’t forget the river was just yards away at basically ground level. There were times the mine was shut down because of the flooding issue.

A 1909 Frank Paper reports that some new boilers were added at the shaft site, at the mines inspectors’ insistence, to allow for a safer pumping out of the shaft which had been shut down because of flooding for some time.

Later issues of the paper (1911) talk about proposed expansions including a new tipple right next to the hoist house and west of that a battery of 50 coke ovens. Of course all this did not come to pass because of a multiplicity of reasons including profitability, markets and strikes.

Last week I talked to Goat Mountain Get-A-Way owners Shelley and Dale Kuta about all this and asked permission to roam their property to look for the seam trace and evidence of subsidence going north. I was not disappointed and found several subsidence collapses, one of which clearly defines the coal seam thickness (see picture).

As I stood on the hill way north above Kuta’s place I was able to sight down the subsidence periodic occurrences to the south. This allowed me to line up where the coal seam trended across the highway towards Turtle Mountain.

The best exposure of the slump reveals about a 20 foot thick seam with a hard sandstone footwall and hanging wall (top and bottom of seam). The rock is slightly overturned which may mean, at least in that area, it was not fully vertical and that may have helped in the mining issue.

The subsidence pockets are not particularly dangerous and the time of their activity has long since passed. It is interesting to note that I mentioned Frank Mine subsidence in an April 2013 column I did entitled, “Giant Slides – From Frank to the World’s Biggest.” In it I presented a picture of subsidence way up on the east flank of Turtle Mountain that was identified by the Alberta Geological Survey some years ago using a digital aerial photo techPhotos from top: Section showing extent of under- nique known as lidar. With lidar you can strip the trees out of digital photos and reveal what is underneath and ground Frank North Mine - John Kinnear, Early view of in this case several round collapses were revealed.

McKenzie, Collapsed coal seam between sandstone There is so much more to this mine story and to the unusual zinc smelter attempt that happened around the bluffs - John Kinnear same time. I should mention that a 1993 Historical Resources Impact Mitigation report done by Bison Historical Services for NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd at the smelter site does cite several examples of subsidence collapses occurring between 1912 and 1916, some of which swallowed up a couple of smelter buildings and part of the public road. It was watched carefully by mines inspectors for years but that was 100 years or more ago so, like I said, there is no issue these days.
