Revamped FACES program builds for future FRANK MCTIGHE

its.

Contributor

The COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on FACES. Last year, FACES could only offer students two in-person days instead of 12 as usual.

Gamache said the silver lining of the reduced in-person programming last year included time to hone the program, as well as a chance to test the new facility in the Crowsnest Pass.

“Because we only had two days we really ramped up our process in terms of making every minute be very, very impacting and intentional in our learning,” FACES founder Rick Bullock said. “We learned a lot.

We learned that we could get further than we knew we could.”

The popular FACES program returns this summer with a revised curriculum in a more compact offering.

FACES principal Joel Gamache and founder Rick Bullock made a presentation at the Feb. 14 Livingstone Range School Board meeting.

“We’re very excited to start up a new year,” Gamache told trustees in chambers at the G.R. Administration Davis Building in Fort Macleod.

FACES is experiential education that includes a personal adventure and a wilderness adventure.

Students can earn 10 high school credits during three consecutive summers for a total of 30 cred-

That led to FACES developing a six-day program.

“We’re confident that we can have a really great impact,” Bullock said.

Last year FACES had 12 sessions with 432 students who earned 10 credits apiece.

This year, FACES will offer 14 one-week sessions for 560 students.

That includes nine sessions for first-year students and five for returning students.

“For the first time we have students returning with the intention of coming back for particular curriculum programing rather than as a student leader,” Gamache said.

“This is a change in our curriculum and a change in our pedagogy.”

The new facility fit well in terms of convenience for parents dropping off children and proximity to sites used by FACES. “We’re excited about that for the future,” Bullock said.

Bullock said parents and students were concerned they would not get the full FACES experience in just two days, but they did.

FACES has a threeyear program that begins with the FACES Challenge that includes Integrity 15 and Discovering Personal Value 15.

The wilderness adventure is geared around activities that are based on perceived risk.

“They are very safe

but feel that risk and they are able to learn from the risks they are able to deal with,” Bullock said.

Those activities include rock climbing, rappelling, lake canoeing and backpacking.

In the second year FACES Journey students spend six days backpacking in which learning happens while on the trail.

The third year is titled FACES Service, in which students achieve their own curriculum outcomes by helping others in FACES Challenge or FACES Journey.

“We are excited that they will have a more lasting experience, something that will impact their entire lives,” Bullock said.

The program has a

new Web site that hosts FACES material.

Second-year students will begin registering in February, with first years registering in March.

Livingstone Range students get first crack before registration is opened to students across Alberta.

“I love the new direction you’re heading with this three-year program,” trustee Lori Hodges said.

“It’s not one and done any more.”

School board chair Lacey Poytress agreed.

“There’s been a lot of positive talk around FACES about what it was originally and what it has grown to be,” Poytress said. “Seeing it continue to grow and evolve is a wonderful thing.”

School board considers new structure at the Crowsnest Pass site Board passes first reading to spend $200,000 on a new facility FRANK MCTIGHE Contributor

Thank You The family of Donnie Nastasi would like to say thank you to everyone who supported us in our time of sorrow with Donald’s passing.

The love and support we have received from phone calls, cards, gifts of food and flowers was wonderful.

Also a think you to all who donated to the Alberta Cancer Foundation in memory of Donald.

Livingstone Range School Board last week gave first reading to a plan to spend $200,000 on a new facility at its Crowsnest Pass site.

Trustees will consider second and third reading at a special meeting Monday, Feb. 28.

The question of approving the project was on the agenda of the Feb. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry provided background.

The school division last year acquired the

Complete & Professional Insurance Service • Insurance - 403-562-8822 • Registry - 403-562-2011 info@crowsnestinsurance.com • registry@crowsnestinsurance.com

4.62-acre former Travel Alberta visitor information centre six kilometres west of Coleman on Highway 3 for $725,000.

Perry told trustees a significant factor in the decision to purchase was the site’s location and how it fit Livingstone Range programs.

“FACES was a significant factor in that decision,” Perry said. “But not only FACES. There were other outdoor pursuits programming that we were desiring to put into place.”

The site would benefit Kindergarten to Grade 12 students across southwestern Alberta, and will provide an economic benefit to the Crowsnest Pass area.

FACES used the Crowsnest Pass property for the first time in July and August.

“It was an amazing experience for those who attended,” Perry said.

Since 1999 FACES has welcomed Grade 9 students from across Alberta for curriculumbased outdoor adventure programming that focuses on personal growth and development.

Students participate in 12 days of high-adventure activities, classroom instruction and team-

building that has a positive impact on all areas of their lives.

Typically 450 students would attend each summer and take part in classroom work as well as climbing, canoeing, hiking and a mountain top experience, staying in four-person tents.

Perry told trustees that reduced government funding for summer school had a big impact on FACES. To adjust to reduced funding, it is proposed a six-day in-person program combined with online instruction be implemented.

“There is a significant need in the short term for additional space to accomodate this program in the short term,” Perry added.

David Cocks, a principle with FWDA Architects in Lethbridge proposed a structure that is closed on two sides against the gusting wind and open on one side to capture the spectacular views.

The new shelter structure would be to the west of the existing building. It contains break-out rooms and storage space.

There would be a large fireplace in the cen-

tral gathering space. The building is naturally ventilated and not heated.

The build can accommodate about 220 people.

Indigenous leaders were consulted on ways to provide appropriate recognition through images.

Trustee Greg Long noted the door to the existing structure faces the east because of the winds from the lake.

Long said the entrance to the proposed structure would face into the wind coming off the lake.

“I don’t know how many days you would be able to open those doors to enjoy the view,” Long said, suggesting he would put doors in place and have windows elsewhere in the building.

Cocks agreed that is worth looking into a different approach.

The school division would like to have the new structure in place by the end of June.

Cocks said to meet that deadline, it is proposed to bring on a construction manager to finalize the design and budget.

Tenders would be released to subcontractors through a competitive building process.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Have we gone nuts?

I am watching a Canadian reporter filming Russian soldiers on the Ukrainian border. They will be ordered to invade a country and kill people using modern war machines that are possibly the best in the world. I look at the faces of the soldiers, mostly boys but some girls. Six months ago they were going to high school and mom was making their lunch.

By the time I see them climbing on tanks, someone has brainwashed them to do the unthinkable. Kill other human beings for; you have guessed it, “freedom.” As far as they know, their neighbours elected a government that will bring enemy nuclear weapons next to their border and their country will have to capitulate to the West and have no freedom. Another aim is denazification. Memory of Nazis doesn’t go away easily. The army in Russia is drafted, not volunteered. The boys and girls have no freedom but fight for freedom. Their leader just threatened to use atomic weapons, which would kill them all.

How does one country take over another? They break its resistance, invade the capital, get rid of the government, and make themselves the rulers. Every country has some people who are not in power, so the invaders come to rescue or liberate them from their so-called oppressors. In Ukraine, they are the Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the east. Here it used to be the French, but now it is the people who don’t want medical-related mandates.

As I and the world were watching, the Russians under Putin’s direction attacked Ukraine. Putin declared parts of the country free states and mounted a massive “military operation,” not a war, to replace the government. Putin went on the airways telling the Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their weapons and join the movement to replace the elected government, who are “drug-addicted Nazis.” A few days before that, the social media in Canada was full of videos of our “Freedom Convoy” supporters doing the same here. We had police officers and soldiers filmed telling our police not to follow orders. In Canada, as in Ukraine, the majority didn’t see it the way the rebels did, but they convinced themselves that mandates are illegal.

It’s important to note the similarities of the two attempts to take over a country and the response. In Europe, getting into a war with Russia may lead to a catastrophic nuclear annihilation of humankind. The West must do something else. Canada and other nations have been supplying weapons, ammunition, and money to Ukraine. This prompted Germany to change its minds and add considerable help. The most relevant

action is cutting off monetary connections. Crooks like Putin can’t go on fighting without money.

Here in Canada, when our capital city was taken over and paralyzed by a force demanding to replace the legally elected government, the Prime Minister didn’t want to use the army and hurt the offenders. They were misled, annoying, but peaceful.

He chose to go after the money. Using the Emergency act crafted by a previous government, he froze the flow of money that was keeping the protesters at a prolonged state of a party, with entertainment, food, and a lot of noise. This, combined with professional police volunteers from all of Canada, solved the problem in three days.

In Ukraine, it was not as easy. The aggressor is a seasoned politician, a well-established dictator who controls resources that can cripple the world. He is ruthless and has no consideration for people, including his own. Anti-war demonstrations sprung up in all major cities of Russia and were promptly quashed by a police force trained to hurt not to serve. More protests flared all around the world, serving only to harden the resolve of democratic governments to cope with the problem. Ukraine, which considers Canada their best friend, bravely stood up against the tyrant, slowing his advance, allowing the world and the Russian people to regroup and consider what else they can safely do for the best impact.

We just went through some turmoil caused by a virus that kills innocent, helpless people. Our governments at all levels sprung to action, trying to minimize the damage and help us stand up again. They took a big political risk. (I didn’t vote for them, by the way.)

Now more comparison.

In Ukraine, droves of people who never fired a shot are volunteering to a citizens’ army. Old women are making Molotov cocktails. They are franticly running to get defenses ready. Others are helping mothers with kids to get to safety.

I who came from many generations of veterans, lived through wars, and worked hard till I dropped, take my hat off to them.

Here we have a bunch of people who want to party and find health restrictions oppressive. Others wave flags, toot horns, and shout “freedom” while blocking streets and roads, hurting the economy. White supremacists, separatists join them, and I would need the RCMP list to complete the statement. Many just “hate Trudeau” because he is a “dictator” and used a legal act to stop their silliness.

Some hate him since his dad didn’t do what their parents wanted. Well, Patriots, this is a democracy, and not every noisy group of partying protesters gets an audience with the PM. Desecrating a national memorial is not how we do it.

I may ramble, but many people like it. Some of my articles get over 1500 readers plus those who read the paper.

I am a Canadian patriot and would fight shoulder to shoulder with the brave Ukrainians if I could, but I have no respect for little selfish flag-waving “demonstrators” and their makeshift pastors. You love freedom? Go volunteer to help those who fight a real dictator. If Canada had more of an army, I would suggest helping Ukraine.

From 2015, when Mr. J. Kenney was minister of defence, we could have built a good defence industry and trained enough people to be on par, at least with Sweden. Sadly, we didn’t, so we can do much less.

Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal hold meeting DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal have held another meeting to continue their fight against the elimination of coal mining in Alberta.

Organizer Eric Lowther says the latest meeting was to continue raising awareness and support for coal mining in the province.

mining to be vocal in the media and social media and to our government officials. We used the meeting as well to update everyone there what we've been doing over the last six months. All of it points to this window of time now between now and April that if we are ever going to be vocal about seeing this resource developed, now is the

"Our committee checked with every mining interest in the area and they are all more committed than ever to press ahead. That encouraged our group as well. If they aren't quitting then we aren't quitting."

- Eric Lowther CSCC Organizer

"The meeting was another call to action. We had some of our most supporters committed who have been quite active come out. The entire meeting was a call to action. The reason for that is the provincial government is going to be announcing the coal policy very soon. It's been a long time since the policy has been updated. When this comes out it will shape the future of coal in Alberta. It's our final push for people who are supportive of responsible

time."

As for what the call to action looks like, Lowther says there are multiple facets to it.

"Letters to elected officials so they know where we stand. It's also not just one letter from our group but each individual sends one. They are getting lots of pressure from foreign funded environmental groups so we need to be vocal too but it's not just that. It's also getting in some of the mainstream newspapers with editorials and

even some magazines as well. We also have presentations scheduled to municipal councils so they can be more positive towards responsible mining in the Crowsnest. We have one scheduled with the Town of Pincher Creek, the MD of Pincher Creek and one with the Crowsnest Pass as well.

We also want to get into High River. We've prepared a professional presentation with a lot of financial data and information in it. We're also talking about taking a delegation to meet with some of the mayors in the southern Alberta area.

There is also some talk of taking a large delegation up to the legislature to meet with people there in person. We've also met with Roger Reid as a committee and he committed to getting us a face-to-face meeting with Sonya Savage, the Energy Minister so we're following up on that as well. It's a multi-faceted approach.

It's pushing all the buttons to make sure we aren't left out of the considerations when the new policy is announced."

Lowther says despite some negative results coming out of recent decisions regarding Riversdale, the overall support

Trustees returned to the discussion later in the meeting following lunch and a closed session.

Perry said the majority of the $200,000 will come from the sale of property in Fort Macleod that is owned by Livingstone Range.

Additional funding will come from money deferred from prior years. The facility will support the programming for which that funding is intended.

Some funding will come from the school division’s international students and summer school programs. “$200,000 is not a significant amount to support a program that is as valuable as the FACES program and the Pursuits programming,” Perry added. “We’re excited about the potential.”

There would be minimal operating costs attached to the facility, Perry said.

In response to questions from trustees, Perry said the site can accommodate many programs besides FACES. Added associate superintendent of curriculum and innovation Chad Kuzyk, “We’re working to ensure this is for all students across the division.”

As an example, there will be dedicated time for every school in the environmental education centre. Students from across the division will access the pre-employment program at the site.

Trustee Brad Toone said he wanted more time to consider funding the project and to get public feedback. He suggested giving first reading and then holding a special meeting to consider second and third reading.

“I think the best process is to make this as public as possible,” Toone said, adding the impact of the provincial budget would also be known by then.

Trustee Clara Yagos pointed out the project needs to start soon to meet the June target, the division has the money and the project fits the mission and vision.

“I think we should be passing this as it is,” Yagos said.

In response to a question from trustee Joscelyn Stangowitz, Perry said the land in Fort Macleod has not yet been sold.

Toone stressed that he felt rushed in being asked to make a decision.

The amended motion was passed and the special meeting scheduled for Monday, Feb. 28.

is still positive. committee "Our checked with every mining interest in the area and they are all more committed than ever to press ahead. That encouraged our group as well. If they aren't quitting then we aren't quitting."

Lowther also touched on a report out of BC showing the positive ecoimpact the nomic province has seen, particularly in the Elk Valley and the difference between that area and southern Alberta.

"The contrast from that and 30-minutes to the east where we are, where our municipal council has to decide between keeping a library open or paving a street or raising taxes even more is large. That was really a powerful report and we worked that into the presentation that will be going to the municipal councils as well."

Lowther says that being vocal now is vital

to making sure there is a way forward for mining companies in Alberta.

"The big thing is going to be when Premier Kenney comes out with the coal policy, if it's very negative on coal in Alberta, it's going to make it very difficult for those companies to stay inter-

ested. If there is a ray of hope, it'll be in that policy and that's why this is the window of time to push.

If we can get some open window for fair consideration of this coal that's the best in the world in southern Alberta, that's going to make a difference.”

Thank You Jordan Pisko's family would like to thank the Blairmore EMS team, Father Joseph, and all our friends who expressed their sincere condolences.

Bless you, all.

~ Letters to the the Editor ~

Editorial A few days ago I decided to grab a coffee in one of our downtown restaurants in Blairmore.

When I opened the door to the popular restaurant I found it crowded with no unoccupied seats or tables.

Wow I said to myself, I wonder what the occasion is at this time of day that would fill my favourite coffee stop.

The next day I mentioned this to the owner who explained that most of the customers in his restaurant that day were skiers from the city of Lethbridge.

Last year I discovered back country skiing so that’s a new passion for me. It’s a ton or work climbing up a mountain for the one run down, so every once in a while I’m okay with a t-bar or chair lift getting me to the top of a great hill.

Most of the skiing public knows that Castle Mountain and Fernie Alpine Resorts are close but quite frankly it can make for an incredibly expensive day of skiing. So I suppose these families decided to try out out little hill.

I have to preface this with the incredible jewel we have just to the east of us here in the Pass. Castle Mountain, unlike Fernie, still has that small town atmosphere.

The season’s passes are no more expensive than a golf pass and the snow, when it’s on, is the best around. So with our little hill here and a big hill within an hours drive, it’s a skiers paradise.

All the skiers in town from the city of Lethbridge brought back many enjoyable memories I had from long talks with Buddy about the local hill dating back to his early teens.

I found one of his editorials about the ski hill and this is his reflection. I thought I would share a bit of history with you the reader.

Pass Herald Editorial 1995....

I still remember when a group of us ski enthusiasts including the late Jack Paterson, Lloyd Pinkney, myself and many others spent many summer days cutting down trees, clearing brush and building a bridge on the site of the present ski hill in Blairmore.

We helped build a small one-room lodge at the bottom of the hill on the west side.

Later down the road, a small log building was constructed including a small lunch counter, more windows, a wood burning heater and benches to make it easier to lace up our ski boots.

The first towrope was installed on the west side of the hill and power was provided by an old piece of farm equipment (perhaps a combine) anchored just below the first hill near the bottom of the ski run.

Today there is a very comfortable lodge located near the top of the hill with a breathtaking view of the Crowsnest Pass.

A few years ago it was suggested that a used gondola (safety approved) be purchased that would transport skiers in the winter and tourists in the summer to the very top of the mountain. I hope this dream never dies and it becomes a reality.

We have been told that when the local ski hill is operational it saves our school division and school students thousands of dollars each year when they do not have to travel out of town due to the lack of enough snow here in the Pass.

More to this Alberta Police Debate Dear Editor; I have been following this Alberta Police Force versus RCMP debate. It is how the interesting RCMP have pulled out all the stops on their “Publicity “road show. What I’ve noticed is there are very little comments by the RCMP on their past mistakes or how they can improve. The RCMP is more and more loosing the respect of the nation they are tasked “to serve and protect”. They are an organization with many internal issues that remain unaddressed. I, in my work career, have been involved, on the ground, in 3 major disaster events in Alberta. Slave Lake Fire, High River Flood, and Ft. McMurray Fire. In all 3 disasters , I saw the RCMP in action. They were “tasked” with enforcing closures in all 3 of those areas. I was in-

volved with them personally. I quickly realized there were good police officers, some I’m not sure about, and some very poor ones. High River was a disgracefully handled by the RCMP. My observations are it is very noticeable that personality, and character, create good police officers. In my opinion I believe very few, particularly new police officers, are trained in the art of de-escalating a situation. I also see, in many officers that when you “arm” them, then they really become different personalities. On that note, I’ve been wondering why, we equip our police forces better than we do our military? Why do we deploy fully armed police officers, snipers, armored vehicles, riot horses, to enter an arena of generally peaceful Canadian protestors? The cell phone

videos coming out of Ottawa the last few days illustrate that so well! I watched horses marched into a peaceful crowd, I watched overuse of batons by officers, I watched people beaten by rifle butts and kneed, I saw officers with name tags covered and no “body cameras” approach peaceful protestors and use excessive force. We may all dislike social media to some extent but what it has created is a platform for the average citizen to post a video of what they saw. I remember the old saying” a picture paints a thousand words”!

Now there is no doubt that all this has been created by politicians in general, and our present federal party in power, who make no effort to negotiate or speak to the people. Can anyone look at the protestors on the streets of Ottawa and not see basically normal, peaceful people who are just fed-up with the lack

of good honest Politicians’ representing them in government? Of course our state-supported CBC, CTV, etc. vainly look around for the one guy with a Nazi/Confederate flag and show that on the news.

So we, as citizens of Alberta, need to look at this current police discussion in a different light. I think it is time for a change. We need a big change in how we direct, and utilize, our police forces. I see nothing good, for Albertans, coming from the Federal Government. Other Provinces have had their own police forces for years. I also see a very poor presentation, from our Provincial government, on this Provincial Police force proposal.

The Alberta government hired an accounting firm to explain to Albertans the proposed changes.

That has been poorly done. These changes need to be much more than monetary.

My dad taught me how to ski and boy did I have fun. It was only a towrope in those days, so I would hold on for dear life and hope that my mittens would last the day before the rope burned a hole through them.

It was simple times and a beautiful time of innocence and good clean fun.

I hope this ski hill lasts forever, because how lucky are we to have a community owned hill for the youth and visitors of our small mountain town. It’s affordable and fun for the entire family and won’t break the bank.

At the end of your life you aren’t going to wish you had a nicer house or a fancier car, my guess is you will remember moments, memories and loved ones. Those times on the hill as a child, then with my children are the things I cherish every day. Hope you all have the same experience with those you love the most.

John Pundyk.CoM

Simply Selles Musings from your local reporter Being the giant sports fan I am, I couldn’t help but plan to attend a few more exciting live sporting events that will be happening over the next couple weeks.

This coming weekend, I will be attending the Tim Hortons Brier taking place in Lethbridge.

It will be the first live curling event I’ve ever been to and I’m looking forward to experiencing the sport in a new way.

I will also be attending the event with my dad and my uncle from BC and another friend so overall it should be a fantastic weekend.

Another perk of attending a curling event is the Patch.

The Patch is basically a giant party that is going non-stop throughout the event.

It’s a place to hang out, play games, meet the teams and just have a great time.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to spend some time at the Patch over the weekend as well.

I will be following that weekend up with a road trip to watch the Hurricanes play in Regina and Moose Jaw the following weekend.

Due to the Brier taking place at the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge, the Hurricanes are scheduled to take their Manitoba and Saskatchewan road trip over that time.

Two friends and myself will be hitting the road to cheer them on during the final stretch of that road trip.

I’m looking forward to having that time with friends as it’s been a few years since we’ve been able to go on a trip like this.

These will also be the first two weekends where I will be able to enjoy live sports will full capacity crowds again after restrictions were lifted limiting capacity at large indoor events.

To hear full size crowds cheering again will be special as sports aren’t quite the same with a half empty arena.

I just hope that the cheering is kept to a minimum when I’m in Saskatchewan cheering on the road team.

Joey Ambrosi publises Fishing Guide with 1000 locations DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

A local resident is ensuring he is giving everyone the chance to enjoy the numerous fishing locations in and around southern Alberta.

Joey Ambrosi has recently completed his latest fishing guide, which includes over 1,000 ideal fishing locations.

"It covers every body of water, lake or stream, from the American border, north to the north end of Jasper National Park on both the Alberta and BC side of the Rockies. It’s about 1,200 bodies of water."

The guide also includes each type of fish that can be caught at each location.

Ambrosi has personally been to about 90 per cent of the locations and has relied on other people to fill him in on the locations he hasn't personally visited.

Ambrosi's knowledge of these pristine fishing locations comes from a lifetime of fishing.

"I just turned 65 and I probably started fishing when I was about three years old. I was born and raised in Invermere BC all the way up until I went to university. My family,

spring through fall we were out camping and fishing every weekend in all the different lakes up and down the Columbia Valley so I got to know that area really well and then I was in Calgary for about 20 years and every weekend was hiking, backpacking and fishing out in the Kananaskis Country or Banff or Jasper and then I've been in the Crowsnest Pass for almost 30 years now. I've lived in three different areas and covered everything that's in the book."

This fishing guide isn't the first guide book that Ambrosi has been involved in creating.

"I worked for the Sierra Club of southern Alberta for a couple of years and the project was doing historic trails in southern Alberta. We would re-hike trails that the explorers went over and tell people where they were and what the story was. That expanded to just hiking in southern Alberta. In 1984 the Sierra Club did a book called Hiking Alberta Southwest.

I was the only person who had been on the project full time so I did 95 per cent of the writing for it so they put my name on the book. That was pretty cool

to have a book with your name on it. In 1986 I did a fishing book that was done by Rocky Mountain Books called Fly Fishing in the Canadian Rockies and it wasn't quite as extensive as this new one but it covered a lot of ground."

Ambrosi also created a few other guides while working for the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre over the years including on both hiking and fishing.

It wasn't until recently when he was receiving a number of requests to create another fishing book that Ambrosi took the next steps in creating an updated fishing guide.

"It was a lot of area to cover so over a couple summers in 2018 and 2019, I went back to at least half of the lakes and for the other ones I talked to other people or got the stocking records from the government. I was able to update it fairly easily. I took a bunch of new photos as well so the new book is all colour and colour maps."

Once that was done, Ambrosi sent it out to a number of publishers to see if anyone was interested in publishing his new guide.

"I ended up sending it

Joey Ambrosi has created a new guidebook for fishing in the Canadian Rockies. The book highlights 1,200 areas to fish at in and around southern Alberta.

out to 10 different publishers and within a week I had seven of them saying they would love to do it."

Ambrosi ended up using Hancock House out of Vancouver.

Once the pandemic hit, the release of the book was delayed allowing Ambrosi to create some more updates to add into the finished copy.

"The book was ready to go in 2020 but then Covid hit so nothing was really open so they didn't want to print it. That gave me another summer to do research and go fishing and update it again."

The book was eventually published and printed at the end of 2021.

Ambrosi says the book is officially available now and is available for order directly through Hancock House.

Ambrosi hopes the books will be available in local stores soon but the delay in shipments has made it hard for local stores to stock up.

Ambrosi says the main reason he wanted to create this guide is to share his love of fishing

with a wider audience.

"I just like the experience of letting other people enjoy what I enjoy.

That's been a lifelong passion of mine through guidebooks or taking people out personally. It's great to see people out

doing these things. It's the kind of book you'd leave in your vehicle and just pull out when your driving through the rockies and looking for what types of fish are there. I think a lot of people will really enjoy it."

Letters to the Editor cont’d from page 4 Conflicting Comments Dear Editor; John MacGarva’s recent letter surprised me. I can understand how Mr.

MacGarva might not like Avner Perl’s political views, so different from his own. Mr. MacGarva

Hats off to David’s satirical letter Dear Editor; Hats off to David McIntyre for his sassy satire on the plight of the renegade retirees. Loved it!!

Sheesh, I think we all know that we can use a little humor during these trying times, and trying to lighten things up with obvious satire while making a valid point was bril-

liant. This isn’t the first time I have heard of reformers expecting to be tolerated, even when they dare to differ with the popular financial model, and especially if it involves protecting the environment in any delusional way. No wonder a special vocabulary was needed to describe these radicals – tree-hug-

Rebuttle to Pass Herald Editorial Dear Editor; The Crowsnest Pass Herald recently published on February 16, 2022, an editorial from the publisher/owner/editor proclaiming how wonderful the Teck mines are for BC, and wondering why the pass can not have similar financial help from four proposed mines.

As I took closer look at her editorial, I think that it shows multiple logical errors in the piece.

First, the BC Cham-

ber of Commerce is hardly an unbiased source. A better source might have been the study of mines in NE BC. Those mines, have coal that is comparable to Alberta coal A review, by Robyn Allan and others, showed the NE mines did not lead to sustainable jobs or provide and economic boost to the area.

Indeed the mines cost the government more in subsidies than they paid in taxes.

Thank You Shawn Gentile and family would like to thank everyone for caring so much.

We all truly appreciate your kindness, support and generosity at this difficult time.

Many Thanks.

reports that he respects differing opinions, then criticizes Mr. Perl for his “opinionated comments” and asks the editor to pull Mr. Perl’s column, apparently because he sees it as objectionable, something that shouldn’t be printed.

Mr. MacGarva clearly thinks differently about the truckers’ protest than Mr. Perl, and seemingly condemns Mr. Perl for his views. Incongruously, Mr. MacGarva appears to have been most infuriated by Mr. Perl’s report-

ing of Ottawa protesters’ despicable behaviour (urinating on the National War Memorial and dancing on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), widely documented by the media.

Mr. MacGarva’s part-

ing statement, that Mr. Perl belongs with the CBC, while presented as an apparent slur, is a high compliment. I think Mr. Perl would do well with CBC and its creative and entertaining programming.

ger, granola nut bar, racist, anti-establishment, terrorists, etc. – so that they could be more easily identified.

Mr. McIntyre is only one of the many unrealistic and interfering renegades allowed to run loose out there, daring to demand change and an end to any kind of bullying or discrimination, as if anyone would actually heed their rantings. However, I do recall one time when they all got fooled.

A couple of decades back,

all citizens of the Crowsnest Pass were allowed and even welcomed to participate in a two year public consultation process – PASS TO THE FUTURE - which was quite the unruly experience. Wouldn’t you know, retired people came out of the woodwork, and started to ruin life for the many superior supporters of the status quo. Just as you warned David, these bold and unshackled vanguards with too much time on their

hands became extremely dangerous and rowdy, getting in the way of progress and demanding that we think of Mother Earth and the Next Generation.

These wildly unrealistic renegades pondered over their decades of experience from living and molding the Crowsnest Pass back in the day. They now had the free time to do the research, study the science, discover what had worked elsewhere, and voice their opinions

with reckless abandon.

Even worse, all their wacky ideas were documented and published --but not to worry, as this misguided vision pointing to a more sustainable way forward was immediately shelved and forgotten. Wow, that was a close call! The powers that be sure taught all those book-savvy rebellious retirees a lesson and put them back in their place, and just in the nick of time!

Val Allen

As you might recall many people in this area have had friends and family who moved to work in the northern BC mines when they opened We know that many of them ended up out of work when the mines closed due to low prices.

The editor suggests that mines in Alberta would get the same price for coal as Teck does. Unfortunately, evidence at the Joint Review Panel showed that Alberta coal is inferior to Teck coal, and would get a substantially lower price.

The editorial also presented the economic ben-

efits, while completely ignoring the costs. In BC, the cost includes dying fish in the Elk River drainage, and Montana is most unhappy with BC to the point of having to sue them. The effects on agriculture are minimal in BC. In Alberta, increased selenium in our rivers could put the irrigated agriculture around Lethbridge at risk. Losing those billions of annual dollars would not help Alberta’s GDO. It would also put a lot of agricultural workers out of jobs.

Finally, the publisher assumes that Alberta mines would pay the

taxes similar to BC and, that the Crowsnest Pass would get a big portion of those dollars. First, BC taxes are generally higher than Alberta’s. The great majority of the mines property is in the MD of Ranchlands. There is no guarantee that the taxes would flow to the Pass.

Using the Grassy Mountain numbers, the pass would not get millions in taxes, despite what the editorial suggested.

When a paper supports one side of an argument, they should at lease present sides so readers can judge for themselves.

MICHAEL RENO

May 6, 1930 – February 27, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Reno on February 27, 2022 at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. He was blessed with 91 years.

Mike was born on May 6, 1930 in Ethelbert, MB. He matured into an intelligent, kindhearted young man who also possessed a strong work ethic and determined character.

These, and his many other wonderful attributes, won the heart of Irene Glover, and the happy couple married on October 31, 1955. Over their sixty-seven-year marriage he proved to be a loving husband and father, a capable provider, and an insightful mentor.

Over the years, Mike engaged in a wide variety of hobbies and activities. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, gardening and leatherworking. In addition to being a very talented musician who played the accordion, piano, guitar and fiddle, Mike’s meticulous, artistic nature was also evident through his beautiful drawings and paintings, cake decorating, and lovely handmade crafts and cards. He also knew how to keep an audience enthralled with his story telling. Mike had a quiet, reserved personality, but he was outgoing when it came to helping his family and friends. He was loved dearly and will be missed by many, but he will never be forgotten.

Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his loving and devoted wife of sixty-seven years, Irene Reno of Blairmore, AB; his children, Steven Reno of Calgary, AB, Michael (Bernadine) Reno of Red Deer, AB, Mark (Ladine) Reno of Bellevue, AB and Kathy (Kevin Schmunk) Reno of Bergen, AB; his grandchildren, Stephanie, Anthony , Lori (Joshua), Gary (Roxanne), Eric (Miranda), Amy (JD) and Evan (Amber); his great-grandchildren, Christopher, Jasper, Eric, Ryder, Landon, Courtney, Ben and new addition, Clark; as well as his extended family and friends.

He was predeceased by his mother, Frances and step-father, Stephan Reno; his parents-in-law, Mary and Matthew Glover; and his infant brother, William Reno.

Mike’s family would like to thank Dr. Bell and the nurses and care providers at the Crowsnest Pass Continuing Care Centre for the kindness and care they provided over the years. They would also like to thank Fantin’s Funeral Chapel for their compassion and guidance.

A private family Memorial Service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Crowsnest Pass SPCA (PO Box 725, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Livingstone Range School Division news and update FRANK MCTIGHE Contributor

Livingstone Range enrollment on the rise Livingstone Range School Division enrollment is projected to increase by about 81 students next year.

Associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry delivered that good news to trustees last week.

“This is awesome, the projected enrollment to be up,” trustee Lori Hodges said. “I remember when I first became a trustee we were always a declining enrollment.”

Hodges said that trend has changed for the better the past four years.

“I think it’s due to all the new programming we’re bringing into Livingstone Range, and all the hard-working teachers and everything we have going on,” Hodges added. “I’m just super-excited to see those numbers continue to rise.”

Perry delivered his enrollment report at the Perry told trustees just over 3,3,634 students will attend Livingstone Range schools, up from 3,552.8 this year.

The increase works out to 81.2 full-time equivalent students.

Nanton A.B. Daley school is projecting 207 students, the same number as this year.

J.T. Foster is forecasting 196, an increase of 10 students.

Stavely Stavely school is forecasting a drop in enrollment to 67 students, from 74.

Perry said that may result in a smaller ECS classroom than in previous years.

Claresholm The enrollment news is positive in Claresholm, with projected overall growth of 41 students.

West Meadow school projects an additional 15 students to an enrollment of 305 students.

Willow Creek Composite expects enrollment to grow by 26 students, to 348.

Perry said the increased enrollment at the high school reflects an influx of immigrant families in Claresholm.

“They’re having a significant impact on the number of students,” Perry said.

Granum Perry said enrollment is anticipated to increase by 4.5 full-time equivalent students to 49.5.

Fort Macleod In Fort Macleod, enrollment is projected to remain the same at W.A. Day school at 314 students.

An increase of 14 students is expected at F.P. Walshe school, brining enrollment to 388.

Pincher Creek Enrollment in Pincher Creek is expected to remain stable.

“For the most part Pincher Creek is remaining the same as it was in the prior year,” Perry said.

Canyon school enrollment is projected to be 226.5, down slightly from 226.8 full-time equivalent students.

Matthew Halton school is projecting an increase of one student to 263.

Lundbreck Livingstone school in Lundbreck is projecting an increased enrollment of 14.5 full-time equivalent students, bringing the total to 259.

Crowsnest Pass Enrollment in the three Crowsnest Pass schools is expected to increase to 583.5, from 577.

“Crowsnest Pass is fairly stable,” Perry said.

Enrollment is projected to remain 160.5 at Horace Allen school.

Isabelle Sellon school’s enrollment is projected to decrease by eight students to 129.

Crowsnest Consolidated is expected to add 15 students, bringing its enrollment to 294.

Outreach schools Enrollment at outreach schools is expected to climb by seven students to 28.

Colony schools Enrollment at colony schools is forecast to be 240 students, an increase of nine students.

Home education Home education students, who are considered .25 full-time equivalent, totalled 46 this year. That number is projected to be 54 next year.

Virtual school Virtual school enrollment is forecast to increase by 20 students.

International students Livingstone Range expects 33 international students next year, down from 48 this year.

“We’ve been somewhat conservative in projecting 33,” Perry said.

Perry reminded trustees that the projec-

tions are being made in January for a school year that starts next September.

Virtual school supports students, other schools Livingstone Range School Division’s virtual school is helping students find academic success. program Pursuits principal Tara Tanner made a presentation to trustees during the Feb. 14 school board meeting at the G.R Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

The mission is: “Together as a community of students, families and teachers, we provide a flexible, safe and supportive digital and experiential learning hub for all students.”

The vision is: “No limits.”

Tanner explained the virtual school moved to a Grade 8-12 model while Granum school took on Grade 1-7 students.

Students and teachers at Crossroads Campus at F.P. Walshe school in Fort Macleod and Gateway at Matthew Halton school in Pincher Creek access the virtual content.

Tanner told trustees the goal is to have a virtual school presence in each school.

To that end, a teacher is assigned halftime to J.T. Foster and Willow Creek Composite schools, while another splits time between Crowsnest Consolidated and Livingstone school in Lundbreck.

“This has really enabled our teachers in these schools to fulfill the outreach teacher role,” Tanner said.

Work has also been done to have each high school offer at least one virtual school course.

“Teachers have really been able to provide timely feedback and inperson support to students,” Tanner said.

The model has allowed staff to monitor student progress and intervene if students are falling behind.

As of Feb. 3, the virtual school had 131 fulltime students, of which 20 are from outside Livingstone Ranger.

There are 225 parttime students in Grade 10-12. Those students often are taking a course not offered in their own school “You can see we are offering really valuable support to all our high school being able to fill those gaps.” Tanner said.

The virtual school has a principal, five teachers, two aides and one part-

time administrative assistant.

Feedback has been positive from school administrators and from parents.

Outreach school staff have been able to build in their students a sense of belonging that comes with academic success.

“There’s a real sense of belonging and care there, which is really cool,” Tanner said.

The virtual school has 13 potential graduates, and an inaugural virtual school graduation ceremony and supper is being considered.

Parents and students will be surveyed to get their input on the virtual school.

Home education Tanner noted there are 70 students enrolled in home education through Livingstone Range.

There are three home education art programs in Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek and Claresholm.

Some students are integrating into the schools in their communities through the One School One Book program, junior high options, and school sports.

Several families have indicated their children will return to their local schools next year.

Summer school Summer school returns for a second year.

Last year about 65 students were enrolled. primarily from Livingstone Range.

Students can learn inperson at Crossroads Campus at F.P. Walshe school or through the virtual school.

Programming Tanner updated trustees about courses offered through pre-employment and place-based programming.

Students were able to take WHMIS, Ski Instructor Level 1, Snowshoeing and Avalanche Safety Training.

Plans are to offer Construction Safety Training Systems, safe food handling and a Plant ID course.

“What a wonderful, feel good report during a time that hasn’t been so wonderful,” trustee Greg Long said, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spectators welcome at school sports With spectators already welcomed back to school sports, Livingstone Range School Board sidelined a discussion on that topic.

Trustees Carla Gimber and Brad Toone

wanted to discuss the presence of spectators at the Jan. 18 meeting but were not allowed to add it as an emergent item.

Instead, the discussion was put on the agenda of the Feb. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

However, since the January board meeting the provincial government has removed many restrictions in place for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spectators are already allowed at school sports.

The discussion on Feb. 14 was brief.

“Supporting the mental health of students during the pandemic was — and is— of paramount importance,” Gimber said.

Gimber said there are indications the mental health of children suffered during the pandemic.

Allowing students to take part in school sports was a positive move for their mental health, Gimber added.

“But nothing compares to a child looking over and seeing their parents, grandparents, siblings, whoever, in person cheering them on,” Gimber added.

Gimber said the province’s restrictions allowed for spectators under certain conditions, and she hoped in January to explore those options.

The motion was timely when brought forward on Jan. 18, Gimber said.

Since then the province’s rules have changed.

“As such, the topic is pretty much irrelevant now,” Gimber said. “It’s unfortunate the urgency of the original motion was not recognized at the time.”

Gimber then introduced a motion to rescind the original motion.

Trustee Brad Toone agreed.

“It’s unfortunate that we didn’t have this conversation,’ Toone said. “I think it’s important for us to recognize that we as board members need to have timely discussions in a timely manner.”

“The landscape is constantly changing in the province and it was an opportunity last time to have a discussion and give input to administration.”

Toone noted administration had asked trustees to provide that input.

Gimber’s motion to withdraw the discussion from the agenda was approved.

Trustees approve bargaining principles Livingstone Range School Board last week adjusted its guide to collective bargaining.

The changes were presented at the Feb. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

As presented, the following principles will guide negotiations with employees and employee groups or their bargaining agent: 1. Any agreement will support transformation through innovative, adaptable, creative and collaborative practices.

2. Any agreement will be affordable now and sustainable in the future.

3. Any agreement will be competitive in order to attract and retain staff.

4. Any agreement will ensure transparency during the collective bargaining process by keeping all stakeholders apprised of developments, decisions, issues, and assessed impact on the education system.

Trustees wondered about the order in which the principles are listed and whether that has significance.

“All of these points are important and I think that the board recognizes they are important,” associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry said. “You have to take into consideration the resources that you have available in order to complete a contract. It has to be sustainable and affordable now and in the future.”

“Within that parameter you can consider an agreement that takes into consideration the competitiveness and the ability to attract and retain staff. I think the order it’s presented in makes a lot more sense.”

Trustees Greg Long assured trustees the principles were listed in that order for clarity, not importance.

Trustees approve revised 2022-’23 calendar Trustees last week approved changes to the 2022-’23 calendar for Livingstone Range School Division that include more long weekend breaks.

Associate superintendent Richard Feller presented the revised calendar at the Feb. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - cRowSneSt PASS HeRALD - 13

Livingstone Range School Division cont’d form pg 12 Feller told trustees there have been a few changes to the 2022-’23 calendar since it was approved two years ago.

The first change was making Aug. 31 the first day of school for students, which is the same as Holy Spirit School Division.

The two school divisions co-operate on some bus routes.

“This is in alignment with Holy Spirit and their first day back in Pincher Creek,” Feller said of the neighbouring school division. “It supports the busing.”

Feller then noted school-based professional development was moved to Sept. 29, from Sept. 16.

The professional development addresses supporting students with multiple complexities or students who might need an individual program plan.

Changing the date allows teachers more time to get to know the students as well as build relationships with new families.

The new date also creates a four-day weekend, which is something parents indicated they desired to happen more often in the interests of increased family time and student mental health.

Students will not attend school on Sept. 29 to allow for staff professional development, and Sept. 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a nonoperational day.

To create other extended breaks, Nov. 10 and May 19 are now nonoperational days.

National Indigenous Persons Day on June 21 is now recognized on the calendar as a day special to Livingstone Range.

The last day of school

for students and staff is June 27, which is also the last day for provincial diploma exams.

Trustee Carla Gimber noted the first semester has 89 instructional days compared to 92 in the second semester.

“Oftentimes it’s difficult to build a calendar that has the same number of instructional days on both sides of the calendar,” Feller said. “These are not out of alignment with past practices. We try to get them as close as we can.”

Trustee Lori Hodges commended staff for including the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on the calendar, and for acting on feedback from stakeholders regarding building in longer breaks.

“I like the new calendar that’s been presented,” Hodges said.

The last day of school before the 2022-’23 Christmas break is Dec. 23. Students return to class Jan. 9.

The last day of class before the spring break is April 6, 2023. Students return to class April 17.

Livingstone Range has a total of 197 operational days during 2022’23.

Livingstone Range working on next budget Work is under way in Livingstone Range School Division for the 2022-’23 budget.

Associate superintendent of business services Jeff Perry updated trustees last week on the budget process.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty with regards to our budget moving forward,” Perry said.

Perry outlined the budget process during the Feb. 14 school board meet-

ing at the G.R. Davis Administration building in Fort Macleod.

Central office staff was anxious for release of the provincial budget on Feb. 24 to gauge its impact on Livingstone Range.

Perry explained the process begins in January with submission of the projected enrollment to Alberta Education.

Education Alberta uses enrollment as part of its funding formula.

In February, senior administrative leadership team reviews the instructional funding formula used by Livingstone Range.

In March that information is presented to administrative council for feedback.

That is brought to the school board on March 22 for approval.

“By that time we will already know what the

(provincial) budget announcement will have been,” Perry said.

A quarterly report from schools and departments will be filed March 24.

In April a budget presentation will be made to the administrative council.

School administrators will then share the news of what instructional allocations will be with staff.

School budgets will be submitted to central office by May 2.

Central office staff presents the budget for school board approval at its May 31 meeting.

The budget is sent to Alberta Education on May 31 for approval.

In June schools and departments will provide another quarterly report.

Senior administration will then provide a report to the audit committee.

16 – CROWSNEST PASS HERALD – Wednesday, March 2, 2022

New Principal at Crowsnest Consolidated High School Contributor

Livingstone Range School Division is pleased to announce that Paul Pichurski has been appointed Principal of Crowsnest Consolidated High School (CCHS) beginning in the 2022-2023 school year.

Paul holds a Bachelor of Music Education Degree from the University of Regina and a Masters

of Educational Technology from Boise State University. A teacher since 1998, Paul joined LRSD in 2001 and has taught all grade levels from Kindergarten to Grade 12. He has previously worked as Assistant Principal and Principal of Isabelle Sellon School, interim Principal of CCHS, and has been the Principal at Canyon School in Pincher

Creek since 2017.

“Paul has shown tremendous leadership in Livingstone Range School Division as both a teacher and administrator,” says Superintendent Darryl Seguin. “He develops strong relationships and creates community wherever he goes, and we are confident that his previous experience will build on the culture of trust

and collaboration at CCHS and the communities of the Crowsnest Pass.”

Looking forward to his new role, Paul also reflects on his recent administration experiences.

“I have appreciated my time working with the Canyon School community over the last five years,” says Paul, “and the relationships I have

developed and the learning I have experienced here. I also look forward to returning to Crowsnest Consolidated High School and for a new opportunity to build positive relationships and work collaboratively with students, families, staff, and community to support student learning and school improvement.”

An avid outdoor enthusiast, Paul appreciates the many opportunities available for trail running, mountain biking, and skiing in the Crowsnest Pass and area. He also enjoys creating and performing music with family and friends and volunteering for community organizations.

Congratulations to Paul on his new role
