Looking Back ... If those walls could have talked John Kinnear Pass Herald Community Reporter Recently the old dance hall at Crowsnest Lake was dismantled and levelled and all that remains now is a bare patch where this remarkable old pavilion once stood. It was just too much to try and save it and the time has come for a gazebo or small facility with wash rooms to take its place. The popularity of the east shore of Crowsnest Lake has grown hugely in recent years and really deserves some attention. There were in-depth discussions on Facebook as far back as October, facilitated by myself and others, on its impending demise. It caught the attention of almost 300 viewers and with it came 107 comments. The comments were mostly a heart-warming blend of memories and warm reflections, some of which I would like to share. They revealed a deep appreciation for the old girl by people of all ages. Before doing that though let’s take a little harder look at the site history, which reveals, through its heritage interpretive sign and lingering remains, some rather interesting facts. Firstly, the site area is ancient and archaeological inspections nearby in the early 1970’s revealed that the lakeshore attracted peoples as far back as 8,500 years ago. Several different ancient cultures gathered there, the last of which, known as the Pelican People, were direct ancestors of the K’tunaxa First Nation (formerly known as the Kootenay). That interpretive sign has a wonderful picture of the hall in its heyday and it was interesting to note that the hall had a tall pole with a flag and a weather vane on top of the roof. A big prominent sign also on the roof announced “Cabins for Rent, Dancing, Sailing” and above that was another sign that says “Coleman Motors, Expert Mechanics”. So it seems that people have been gathering there, for one reason or another, for a very long time and will continue to do so. One of the lingering remains of the dance hall that I came across après it’s dismantling was a special refractory brick used in the base of one Cont’d on page 13

Council deliberates amendments and subdivsion variation requests NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council discussed land use bylaw amendments, a subdivision variation request and introduced a new FireSmart bylaw at the regular council meeting on February 7. Public hearings were held for two separate land use bylaw amendments, one was to redesignate Lot 28, Block 4, Plan 811 1839 from Recreation and Open Space (RO-1) to Residential (R-1) and the other was Omnibus No. 2. Omnibus No. 2 is the second in a series of three omnibus land use bylaw amendments to update the land use bylaw. Omnibus No. 2 continues to clarify the administration of the land use bylaw, the development standards and land uses, apply current best practices, reduce red tape, and align the land use bylaw with the provisions of the Municipal Government Act. No members of the public were present to speak on either of the bylaws and no submissions were received ahead of the meeting. Both bylaws passed second and third readings unanimously. They also passed amendments to the Safety Codes Permit Bylaw which removed the FireSmart principles from the document. Many of the matters in FireSmart principles relate to construction materials, standards and methods which cannot be effectively regulated in the Land Use Bylaw because they are not land use and planning relate according to the document from the administration. These principles were later passed as part of the FireSmart Bylaw. Both requests for decision passed second and third reading. Closing off the bylaws on the agenda was a Road Closure Bylaw. It proposes the closure of a 0.16-hectare (0.39 acre) portion of road (83 Street,
Coleman, between 23 Avenue and 24 Avenue) for a proposed residential development that includes the adjacent Block 7 (west) and Block 12 (east) properties. Later in the agenda, there was discussion surrounding the January 17 presentation to Council by a developer seeking a variance on their development. Subsequently, the developer provided a letter clarifying that the variance request for the security deposit is a request for a zero per cent security deposit with a 25 per cent security deposit that will be provided at the issuance of a Construction Completion Certificate for the road, for the two-year warranty period, and included the reasons for this request. The applicant was proposing to construct the access road prior to subdivision endorsement as a mechanism to support the request for a reduction in the development agreement security deposit requirements. The council had several concerns about approving the variance. “The biggest concern is this would set a precedent moving forward,” said Mayor Blair Painter. Council spoke about the implications to neighbours, storm water drainage and emergency service use of the road being built for the proposed subdivision. After much deliberation, they chose to give an extension but found more information was needed before authorizing a variance due to the chance for this being used in future developments as a reason to pay no upfront fees. Trevor Hay, the owner of the land who is seeking the variance, spoke during public input period to address concerns. He spoke about water drainage and how it was a priority for him when he first applied to develop the property. “This became a significant concern for me and so, over the past nine years, it has had the attention of three different engineers, two of them which were stormwater management specialists,” said Hay, “Their independent assessment was that, in all three cases, there would be less stormwater drainage onto the adjacent properties than historically,” Visit crowsnestpass.com for full council packages and meeting details.

The Simple Raven’s Post BY AVNER PERL
Virtual Flight
I try to live in the moment whenever I can. I don’t know the future and I hope it will be alright. Can I make things happen better than they will on their own? I wish I knew. Looking back, I also see a blank mystery. Stories appeared only a few thousand years ago when people learned to write on stones or clay tablets. There is a lot more that we are slowly discovering, which is difficult to interpret. It looks as if there were civilizations who could do what we yet can’t, and disappeared, leaving very little evidence of their existence in the dust of time. They were all over the world. Some ancient writing mentions them, but that is all. We find pyramids, underground cities, and large human settlements covered by the oceans. We know that not all our ancestors were primitive cave dwellers. Many advanced civilizations were destroyed and restarted to become our present civilization. There is some level of spirituality in most, if not all, humans. It is not material, but it exists. There is more to the world than what the eye can see. In the old days, traveling was very hard, dangerous, and expensive. Caravans traveled on foot with burden animals and small armies for protection. Very few people knew exactly where they were going and fewer yet knew the way. A trip could last years and not everyone who went came back alive. However, it was the only way to learn about the world. Time went by and traveling on water gained popularity. The wind was discovered to be a source of energy to propel humans, cargo, and the heavy wooden ships that carried it all. Again, safety was an issue and weapons and marines were necessary. Large nations built navies and trained people to use them. Over thousands of years, technology improved, and those who were ahead built great wealth. It was the age of discovery. Maps were produced and methods to navigate improved. Some people even dreamed about traveling by air. This idea had to wait until we had engines to power flight. We had pictographs of aliens flying and the idea of God’s angles having wings

wasn’t new. In the second half of the twentieth century, I flew a jet to Canada. In the next fifty years, flying over our world became commonplace and people in the developed world took advantage and learned to fly for leisure. Computers were improved and a new option was born. We can stay at home and see what is happening anywhere in the world. I do it all the time now, seeing through the lenses of modern cameras what is happening. Today the news is humming about a foreign object shot down over the Yukon and the Prime Minister is basking in glory over authorizing the action. I am wondering if he considered the possibility that it may have been an alien craft seeking help in our world. The PM likes to be in the headlines while a sensible Alberta country girl is running the country successfully, not demanding attention. I don’t enjoy waiting in airports, sleeping in hotels, traveling in taxis, and the rest of what people consider a novelty in traveling. I would get no pleasure from being in a tiny cabin on a cruise ship, even if they invited me to dine at the captain’s table or lounge by a pool in a floating hotel. I don’t relish gambling in famous casinos or seeing busy dusty spots where long-ago history was made. A dirty path to a historic building for me is just that. A dirty trail traveled to see a building that I don’t care about. I grew up in such places. I hope that those who travel enjoy it for all its worth. I am interested in the news and the people who have fewer choices in life just trying to stay alive. I go on my computer to Ukraine. A beautiful country with great hard-working people. Their place on earth is being destroyed by a tyrant who wishes to rule them against their will. On the computer, I follow the people of Turkey and Syria demolished by earthquakes and war at the same time. From there, I follow people in Pakistan abused by their own government and lost all they had in floods. It brings me to people in California who lost all they had to fires and floods, much the same as our brothers and sisters in British Columbia. I visit First Nations in other parts of Canada whose stories I don’t need to tell but are obvious to anyone who looks. South America has millions of folks under governments installed by powerful nations who use their suffering to make money and the same in Africa. The far east doesn’t escape my computer gaze. Conditions in the Philippines are far from great and in India, a billion and a half people try to make a living. A fraction of the population is well off and the rest…. My traveling over the world takes hours and all I see are the highlights. Personal little tragedies are not visible to the cameras feeding computer travel but exist. A far north settlement in Canada doesn’t look much different from its equal in Russia. The world of humans provides great wealth for a few and a struggle for the many to stay alive. There is a feeling of unfairness and a looming danger of another civilization ending. I fly over to a place I know well. The Crowsnest Pass in Alberta. A quiet mountain community where no one is rich but all live well. The weather is mostly nice and people are honest and kind and I thank the Lord. It’s possible.

Herald Editorial LISA SYGUTEK When volunteers come together, it’s a magnificent sight. This community is blessed with amazing people who always seem to come together when the need arises. I look at Riversdale Resources Australia Day Beach Day Fundraiser which made over $68,000, which was equally split between the Crowsnest Cando - Revive the Roxy project and the Crowsnest Memorial Society. For this venue the tickets were sold out quickly, individuals and businesses donated, and the community came together in the name of great causes. I look at Canada Day, Christmas in the Park, Pumpkins in the Park, and venues at the Doors Open celebration hosted by the Coleman Community Society. This, then, brings me to the Bellecrest Association who do their own festivals including Bellecrest Days as well as lighting up main street Bellevue like Las Vegas during Christmas. We then go to the Lions’ Clubs, each of them in the Pass, who fundraise, host bingo nights, build parks and infuse tons of fundraised and volunteered hours into the community. Then we can move to sports, which is run on the backs of volunteer members. We have hockey, gymnastics, a swim club, baseball, and soccer. We have amazing mountain biking, cross country and snowmobile trails all maintained by volunteer groups. We have a group fundraising to build a new skate park, a disc golf course and a group looking at the possibility of an outdoor skating rink. I could go on and on and on with more groups. I know I’ve missed out on many, but they are all equally appreciated. This brings me to Wintervention. It’s that time of year when we are sick of winter, sick of shovelling snow, sick of layering up and feeling blue with very little sun. To help us wipe away the blues, the Crowsnest Can Do group organized tons of events for their annual Wintervention festival. On Friday February 24, you can start your weekend off with some shopping! Check out local vendors and artisanal offerings at the Community Market, held at the Elks Hall in Blairmore, 3-7pm. On Saturday February 25, weekend mornings usually call for cracking eggs into a frying pan or flipping pancakes, but Wintervention is the exception of oddities! Head over to the Public Art Gallery for the Frying Pan Toss competition. Contestants will toss a skillet as far as they can and the farthest throw wins! Skillets will take flight at 10:00am. After the Frying Pan Toss stick around to fill your tummies at the Annual Chili Bowl Festival. The cost is $20 for adults and $10 for children, which includes a locally made hand-potted bowl donated by the Pass Pottery Club. Pick your bowl and fill it with chili! Enjoy with a bun and a cookie for dessert! Eat, visit, and be cozy. First come, first served. 11am – 2pm, Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallery, Frank After lunch, make your way to the Pass PowderKeg in Blairmore and cheer on the Human Dog Sled Races! This Wintervention classic takes place at the PPK lodge, where teams of three will compete against each other. Teams are made up of three adults, three youths, or a mix of both! This family friendly race is sure to make you smile. 1pm – 4pm, Pass PowderKeg, Blairmore This community may be poor, but what we lack in money, we more than make up with community spirit. Maybe it’s ingrained in our blood from the years of coal mining and natural disasters that forced us to watch and take care of each other’s backs. Maybe it’s because we are poor that we must work together to make things happen. But all I know is that we make it happen and I, for one, am proud to say that I live in Crowsnest Pass, the “Garden of Eden.” No matter where you go, it will always remain your home.

Reducing the salt in your diet for Heart Month ALBERTA HEALTH SERVICES February is Heart Month, a time when you may want to think about taking care of your heart. Reducing salt in your diet is one way to improve your heart health. Eating too much salt (sodium) may cause high blood pressure. If you lower your blood pressure, you may lower your risk of heart attack, heart failure and stroke. The top sources of sodium in our diets include ready-made bread, crackers and muffins, as well as takeout pizza and lasagna, and processed meats such
as deli meat and sausages. Cheese, soups and condiments such as soy sauce and ketchup are also very high in salt. If you reduce the amount of processed, fast food, take-out food and restaurant meals you eat, you may reduce the sodium in your diet. Another way to lower sodium is to prepare food at home. When cooking at home, you can use little or no salt. Try flavouring your food with garlic, onions, herbs, spices, lemon juice and vinegar instead of salt. Do you need some tips on cooking with less sodium? The AHS South Health Campus Wellness Kitchen in Calgary will host Low Sodium Tasty Tips and Tricks, a free online cooking demonstration. A registered dietitian will lead the two-part series, which will include information on reading labels, lower sodium substitutions and preparing healthy lower-sodium foods that still taste great. Anyone in Alberta is welcome to sign up. To register, visit ahs.ca/shcwellness or email: wellness.shc@ahs.ca. For more information on this topic, search “heart health” at ahs.ca/nutritionhandouts.

Nick’s Notes Winnipeg Jets
JOHNPUNDYK.COM
403-563-0771 Royal LePage South Country Real Estate Services Ltd. HILLCREST
The NHL season is now past the halfway mark, and I am sure happy with how the Jets are playing. They had a rocky finish headed into the All-Star break but started the first game back with a solid victory over the Blackhawks. They are currently sitting with 67 points and are second in the Central Division. Right now, they are currently the top Canadian team in the Western Conference, with the Oilers sitting at 65 points, the Flames have 61 and the Canucks have a measly 46 at the time of writing. This means Winnipeg should be looking to add to their core players heading into the trade deadline. There are rumors floating around they will be shopping for another defencemen, with a report from The nation Network’s Nick Alberga saying they are after Vancouver Canucks blue-liner Luke Schenn. With the return of Dylan DeMelo on the back line, they are seeing a return to the original defence core they had to start the season. After being riddled with injuries for much of the first half, I am hoping the Jets can remain healthy as they make a push for the playoffs. But accidents happen from time to time, clear in the absolute freak injury that occurred to Jets forward Mason Appleton. It was an injury that has made a change in every NHL arena across the League. He was hit into the glass on a harmless play but then Appleton’s stick got caught in a hole in the glass, twisting his arm and breaking his wrist. The hole was used by referees to speak with officials off the ice about penalty calls and time on the clock. The NHL implemented a solution to plug the holes like the way the photographer holes are closed. After Appleton’s surgery and three-month recovery, it was a much-needed fix. Appleton said he is glad to be back and is happy that no one else will suffer the same fate. “[It was] fluky, freaky, all the above. [I’m] just glad they fixed [the holes in the glass] and changed it in all the rinks now, so that can’t happen again, which is nice to see,” said Appleton on NHL.com. With one potential hazard out of the way, I hope they can continue to win games and try to win the western conference.

Renewal of Marriage On Friday, February 10, 2023, a celebration was held at Holy Trinity Parish with mass and the renewal of marriage promises. This celebration began in 2020 on the first Friday before Valentine’s Day with the support and encouragement of Fr. Joe. This year both Fr Venil a priest from Calgary and Fr.Joe, celebrated the mass. In his homily, Fr. Venil reassured us, yes, challenges are part of married life. Afterwards, we made our way to our beautiful hall, for our social evening. Some research on the history of St. Valentine was presented. He was a priest in Rome during the 3rd century, about 1800 years ago, before Constantine. As this legend goes, he was very sympathetic of couples who wanted to get married, but seeing this was sometimes difficult under Roman law, he arranged to have them marry in the Catholic Church. Following introductions of all those in attendance, about fifty people, some with their families, we shared in a tasty meal of East Indian food, donated by Roja and Sudheer Gade, Raj Palace South Indian Restaurant Midlake, SE Calgary. During this time we listened to some pre-recorded music. Afterwards, some couples shared some of their experiences of married life. We collected $630 from registration fees and $115 from the wine raffle. All funds were donated to Holy Trinity Church. All in all, this was an enjoyable and memorable evening. Thanks to all who participated and volunteered to make this event a success.

Local student set to participate in SHAD program NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter
Contributor photo
Grade 11 Crowsnest Consolidated High School student Quinn Douglas, accepted to the prestigious SHAD program in July.
A student at CCHS will be taking part in the Shad Canada program at a post-secondary institute in Canada. Quinn Douglas will be entering the program for students currently enrolled in Grade 10 or 11. Shad Canada gives high school students a unique experience that draws on university resources. They are looking for students who are community-minded, creative, engaged, curious and want to make an impact in Canada and the world. The STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) program captured the attention of Douglas, mainly the science part, he explained. Douglas said he was inspired to join after his leadership class at high school and working on developing a student council. Douglas added he wants to learn about “how to be an effective leader” from some of the “top people” in the country. He has not yet picked which university he will be attending this July 2 to 28. “[Shad Canada] gave us the pick of multiple universities throughout the country and I’m gravitating more towards the East coast because I’ve never really gone to that part of Canada before,” said Douglas.
He said his goal is to come back from the experience as a leader. “I am trying to be the best version of myself and I’m trying to bring something new to the table,” said Douglas. He acknowledged his teachers for motivating him, specifically CCHS Work Experience Coordinator John Taylor. “They definitely motivated me to be a great person,” said Douglas. Shad is an educational opportunity for high school students offered at university campuses across Canada that has been running STEAM programs since 1981. The program attracts students from around the country with a focus on community-minded leaders who want to make a social impact. Shad has partnerships with 22 campuses and a network of more than 20,000 program graduates. “Every summer, more than a thousand students come to Shad to discover new areas of study, access university level academics, business and community leaders, and reach new heights of personal development,” said Shad Canada CEO Tim Jackson.

Get ready, it’s Music Festival time in the Pass CROWSNEST PASS MUSIC FESTIVAL Contributor The month of March is fast approaching and with that comes warmer weather and the sound of music. The Crowsnest Pass Music Festival Committee would like to welcome everyone to the 2023 Festival. The Crowsnest Pass Music Festival is one of the longest running festivals in Alberta and is a member of the Alberta Music Festival Association. Music students of all ages have the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience and receive valuable feedback from qualified adjudicators to help support them in their musical pursuits. Vocal, Musical Theatre, Guitar, CCHS Band, HAS groups, Bowed Strings and Piano sessions will run March 20 – 24, 2023. Canyon School, Ecole des Grands-Vent-Francophone, ISS and Livingstone School sessions will run March 28 – 30, 2023.

Select musical directing credits include South Pacific, Footloose, Cabaret, The Sound of Music, and The Wizard of Oz. Dr. Hoffart holds a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Arts in Music from the University of Alberta, and a PhD in Music from the University of Calgary. Her research examines best practices in leadership and the empowerment of individuals through participation in choir. From Calgary, we welcome Classical guitarist, Brett Gunther to adjudicate our guitar classes. He has been performing for over 25 years.

He is currently on the faculty at Mount Royal University Conservatory, teaching private lessons as well as ensemble classes for the Academy program. Brett is in high demand as an adjudicator for festivals across Canada and is also an examiner for the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.

Included are works by Rodrigo, Britten, Barrios, Brouwer, Tarrega and Domeniiconi. His most recent release, An Idea(2017), explores selections of some of huis favourite composers from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, featuring works by Schubert, Mertz, Legnani, Moreno-Torroba, Bach, Brouwer, and Guiliani.

Avalanche causes injury at Castle Mountain NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter A man was rescued by search crews near Castle Mountain Resort on February 4 after sustaining injuries in an avalanche. On February 3, 2023 at roughly 3:40 PM, Castle Mountain Resort (CMR) Mountain Safety received a call from 911 dispatch reporting an individual in distress. 911 Dispatch was able to relay to CMR Mountain Safety staff the coordinates of the individual. CMR Mountain Safety staff determined that the location of the person was outside of CMR’s ski area boundary and not safely accessible by CMR staff. RCMP were then contacted, and Southwest Alberta Regional Search and Rescue (SARSAR) was tasked to assist. At 5:15 PM, two SARSAR members, who are also members of CMR’s Mountain Safety team, started out in the hopes of accessing the individual via the Syncline Valley. By 8:15 PM, rescuers contacted the injured individual and found that, while he was in stable condition, he had sustained injuries that made it not feasible to downclimb to safety. The rescue party then decided to stay in place for the night. Their assessment of the patient confirmed that he had likely been involved in a size two avalanche outside the ski area boundary. It is believed that he was carried approximately 250 meters over rocks and through trees, where his fall was eventually arrested by small trees. At 11:30 PM a second team of two rescuers made their way to the rescue party and the injured individual, with supplies to make the overnight more comfortable including food, water, extra clothing, and sleeping bags. They contacted the party at approximately 1:05 AM, on February 4 and returned to the staging area shortly thereafter. By 7 AM, Kananaskis Country Public Safety began a flight to the rescue site with the intention of extracting the individuals by helicopter. By 9:35 AM the injured individual was slung out by helicopter and handed over to EMS. The K-Country team returned to the site and picked up the two rescuers. By 10 AM, all rescuers had returned to the CMR Mountain Safety Office, and all resources stood down. CMR wish to extend their gratitude to all parties involved in the rescue mission, including but not limited to the Pincher Creek RCMP, Southwest Alberta Regional Search & Rescue, Kananaskis Country Public Safety, Pincher Creek Emergency Services, in addition to CMR’s own involved team members.

Local non-profit seeking to restart summer festival NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter Fundraising has started for the Crowsnest Pass Sun Dawg Festival with the ‘Shamrockin’ at the Greenhill Hotel taking place on March 17 at 7 PM. The organizers are hoping to revive the festival after it originally got its start in 1978, with a celebration of the longest day of the year. According to Spencer Krkosky the first one was held at Dutch Creek across from where the campground now is. “We didn’t think much about it, but we said we’ll do it again the next year, then we decided to bring in one bluegrass band... it got pretty big. At least 500 or 600 people, maybe more,” said Krkosky. After a few years of the event, it began to lose interest in the community. He said the idea to revive it again circled in his mind for years before he got in contact with Pat Rypien. Rypien said the first thing the group had to do was develop a budget. They got help from members of Community Futures and established a budget for the event. From there they made cuts where needed, to achieve a more reasonable dollar amount. “I worked on sponsorship packages, but we really need to look at fundraising to get to where we can even get going with this [festival]. Instead of planning it for 2023, we pushed it back to 2024,” said Rypien. They began brainstorming a few fundraising ideas before they landed on ‘Shamrockin’ at the Greenhill Hotel. A few local musicians have offered their time to raise money for the fundraiser with On the Rox, Larry Whan and Shane Painter set to perform. On the Rox, a seven-piece band, will be headlining the event.

Tickets for the event are available for purchase at the Greenhill Hotel, costing $20 if purchased in advance or $25 at the door.

Recently, the group applied for non-profit status and is working on more events to help make the festival a reality. The plan is to sell 100 tickets for the Friday evening show. The other members of the group trying to bring back the Sun Dawg Festival are Gord Gosse and Walter Gail.

Livingstone School student to attend United World College NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter A student at Livingstone School shared her experience about being chosen to attend United World Colleges (UWC). UWC is an international group of schools and educational programs consisting of 18 colleges on four continents. The organization was founded on the principles of German educator Kurt Hahn to promote intercultural understanding with young people from more than 155 countries selected through national committees to pursue an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Livingstone School student Catherine Yagos said she spoke with students who previously attended the program and they made it sound great, which led her to performing her own research on the organization.

LEADERSHIP AS A SERVICE I am born and raised in Livingstone-Macleod and have always felt the calling to serve my community. I view political leadership as both a service and a civic duty. It is exciting to see the growing engagement and education of Albertans as we strive to elect a government that is accountable to it's constituents. I will represent you. I will be your voice. I will be accessible. I will stand up for you.
"I am very proud of our rural roots, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong work ethic. I want power returned to the people of this province and for our elected representatives to acknowledge their leadership as a service to their constituents."
A LITTLE ABOUT TANYA... Tanya has grown up in Livingstone-Macleod and is raising her family here. Having attended school in Blackie and High River, volunteering in many capacities, and working in the Foothills School Division as a Math & Science Jr. High Teacher, Tanya has created many valuable relationships within her community. Connecting with the youth, advocating for agriculture, and serving the community have always been drivers for the paths Tanya has chosen in life. Tanya has long-standing prairie roots. The family farm takes great pride in their land stewardship, carefully managing their land to produce food for a growing global population. To Tanya, it is another calling to serve, to leave this world better than we found it, and to build a community of proud producers.
AFFORDABILITY By opposing government overreach into our businesses, industries, and families, & halting the disrespectful spending of our tax dollars, we will carve out prosperity & autonomy for ourselves within Canada . The cost of every essential in our lives has drastically increased. We need to take action to curb inflation. Make raising a family, buying a home, & pursuing an education affordable again! Our households live within our means; our government should have to as well.
PRIORITY #1 Our provincial election is rapdily approaching and priority #1 is defeating the NDP. We must unite in this endeavour so that we may continue the work of building a prosperous Alberta once again. Albertans are hard workers with ingenuity & passion in their hearts. We are capable of problem solving and achieving great prosperity together. In doing this, we equip our people to better care for their families, each other, and their communities.
“The schools are so unique and I love how students take part in a challenging and diverse community,” said Yagos. She explained how UWC gets students to select the top three schools they would like to attend as part of the two-year learning experience. Yagos chose Norway, Italy and Wales as her preferred locations. When asked which one she hoped to attend, she said Norway. “I really like the outdoors and the outdoor activities that they have to offer there,” said Yagos. Yagos said she has much to gain from attending UWC and hopes this opportunity will help with getting into post-secondary. “I want to understand more cultures and worldviews I may not get to experience here,” she said, “It’s also a step toward attending prestigious universities.” With the IBDP, UWC students get to choose a language acquisition, which is where you choose a language that they don’t currently speak or don’t speak fluently and acquire the skills to do so. She said she would likely choose the language of the country she was studying in as it would be easier to learn while “immersed in the culture” of the host country. The IBDP is a two-year educational program primarily aimed at 16-to-19-year-olds. The IB provides an internationally accepted qualification for entry into higher education and is recognized by many universities worldwide.

Wednesday, February 15, 2023 - CROWSNEST PASS HERALD - 13
Looking Back cont’d from page 1 of those two wonderful stone fireplaces. Being the detective that I am, I chased down its source from the prominent initials stamped on it. HWR CO. which stands for Harbison-Walker Refractory Company, a brick manufacturer that has existed since 1864 in the United States. Refractory bricks are very resistant to heat and decomposition and are made in kilns using something known as chamotte. Chamotte is calcined clay that is very high in alumina and it kind of blew my mind to find the remains of Pennsylvania-made refractory brick at the lake. Naturally that remnant had to come home with me to join my brick collection. I visited the site on January 4, just days prior to when the crew was contracted to demolish her and did detailed photography of the hall from one end to another. At that time the south fireplace was pretty intact but had suffered some vandalizing colour enhancements not very becoming to such a grand purveyor of warmth. A second visit on Monday January 9, revealed the building down with a stockpile of the center support rafters nearby and a crew loading and hauling away the remains. I noticed that the south fireplace was still standing by itself like a silent stone sentinel: the last stalwart remains of a building that, by all reports from those who took it down, did not surrender easily. I liked the fact that the center structure, the true center of her spirit, stubbornly stood her ground until the very end and only after the center support post was pulled out and three of the four walls pulled away did she finally fall. Getting back to the community response, I found that the October comments section on that Facebook post revealed a warm variety of sentiments. Annie Wesko shared the following line from the Mary Hopkins song, “Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end.” The first verse of that song could very easily be modified to say, “Once upon a time there was a dance hall. Where we used to have a dance or two. Remember how we laughed away the hours. Think of all the great times me and you.” Later on Bruce Fairbrother chimed in with the following, “Oh did we DANCE!! Guys and Gals dressed to the nines, fireplace going, dance floor rockin, Harry Setla’s band and what a band it was. He always closed with a waltz “Goodnight, Irene” and YES, the kitchen was awesome!!! Next up, Sophie Sedgwick (Baruta), weighed in with, “So sorry to see it go, I have so many memories of the Saturday night dances held there. Only remember the fire place being lit once as the warm evening’s required little heat. Such a special time— big band music , the moonlight over the lake , the solitude, the adults mixing with the teens and yes, Mr. and Mrs. Ondrus having a swinging good time at each dance . Thanks for the memories - it was our night club minus the cost. Because the Pass in the 50’s knew how to have a good time.” Denise Coccioloni -Amatto remembered dancing there and the fact that when Katimavik (youth volunteers) were here they spruced up the place. “The fire was roaring and it was Halloween! It was a ripping great time! Too bad it has passed the point of repair.” Cindy Lee Siegen chimed in with this Halloween memory. ”My best memory was the Halloween party in the late 1970s. Joe T. dressed up like a mummy and got too close to the fireplace. The wrap bandages started on fire. Thankfully Joe was ok and we all had a bit of a scare but a good laugh too.” There can be no greater irony than the fact that the teardown contractor was that very same mummy, the one and only, Joe T. Tim Wavercan recalled that, “I played in my band at the dance hall in the early 70’s, probably when the hall was nearing the downfall of its structure. In the early 60’s the Coleman Volunteer Fire Brigade had their annual summer picnics in the hall and at the lake. Such beautiful memories that we experienced. I am sure many families of the Pass spent much time having picnics and boating at this lake and groups that used the hall for different celebrations and gatherings. I can remember the crackling fires in the stone fireplaces!!.” Larry Barris commented that, “My parents met there, she was from Coleman, and he was born and raised in Natal, BC. Talk about meeting in the middle, huh?” There were several others that weighed in, in this fashion. Brenda White’s parents met there as did CJ Yagos’s mom and dad in 1953/54 and Patty Plowman’s in-laws. Annie Wesko further commented later on that her late husband proposed marriage to her there in 1963. Lynn Girardi Makiev mentioned that her mother and father would walk from Coleman to go dance there and Kaydee DeRenzo stated this, “So awesome and boy did we all get gussied up. Guys and dolls.” I laughed when Pat Allardyce shared that her partner Larry Cerny got caught with beer in the car there. She said he paid a $35 fine and that the judge asked him if his parents knew, because if they didn’t, his aunt worked at the Blairmore court house. I remembered after reading this, a story from my brother Alex, who said the cops were after a guy there that had a case of beer one Saturday night. The guy walked out into the lake, in his suit, with the case held over his head and wasn’t giving it up. Told them they were gonna have to come in and get it. Editor/Publisher Lisa Sygutek said that her parents loved to dance there and that both her grandmother Anne Kubik and Aunt Josephine Kubik played at the dance hall. Josephine played with the band the Blue Birds. All in all it was Pat Lundy’s share that summed up, in a profound way, this really wonderful Facebook connecting experience. She said, “Memories, how precious they are. I hear the melancholy in your words, a happy sadness for what was.” The lake dance hall will live on in our minds forever, a time of connection on the dance floor and off. There is one thing that cannot be torn down and that is our memories. They remain forever entrenched in our minds and in our hearts.

Evan Stephen Sanyshyn (January 2, 1941- February 3, 2023)
Our Dad, spouse, Stepdad, brother, Grandpa, Uncle and well-respected friend, passed away peacefully at Surrey Memorial Hospital after a valiant fight with cancer. Born in Mundare, Alberta, to a Ukrainian family, Evan was a true Alberta boy and loved living in the Crowsnest Pass. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, mushroom and huckleberry picking, camping, gardening and dogs. After leaving school, he took on various jobs, from firefighting, surveying, to working summers at the Banff Springs Hotel. He settled at Phillips Cables, working the rest of his career in management at the Coleman and Vancouver plants. After relocating to White Rock, BC in 1985, he retired in 1996. Dad met Dorothy Klevinsky nee Jones in Coleman, and they married in 1968, becoming a blended family with her two boys, after she had been tragically widowed. Music was always a part of Evan’s life. He was President of the Surrey Branch #5 BC Old Time Fiddlers Association and enjoyed jam sessions and dances with his champion fiddler son, Mike, often playing mandolin and fiddle himself. He loved to dance, dine, and travel with his beloved Rose Marie in recent years. Evan was predeceased by his sister, Sylvia, in 1939, his brother, Billy, in 1946, his sister Mary, in 1956, his mother in law, Ivy Jones in 1979, his sister in law, Dorothy Fourneau, in 1990, his father in law, Arthur Fournier D’Albe, in 1991, His father, John, in 1994, his wife, Dorothy, in 1997, his mother, Genevieve, in 2001, his sister in law, Peggy Hawkins, in 2003, his brothers in law, Jean Fourneau and Thomas Hurtak, in 2007, his brother-inlaw, Ron Kozler, in 2010, and his brother in law, Fred Jones, in 2019. He is survived by his partner, Rose Marie Patterson, Surrey, BC, his sons William (& Jayne) Klevinsky, Nanaimo, BC, John Klevinsky, Surrey BC, James (& Eddie Soares) Sanyshyn, New Westminster, BC, and Michael (& Tianna Lefebvre) Sanyshyn, Surrey, BC, his step daughter, Lorraine Patterson, and step son-in-law Rob Fofonoff, White Rock, BC, his step daughter Marla Patterson, Surrey, BC, his sisters Pat Kozler, Sparwood, BC, Betty Johnson, Coutts, AB, (brother-in-law Albert Johnson) and June Walker, Medicine Hat, AB, (brother-in-law Don Walker), his sister in law, Marjorie (Cookie) Hardy, Hillcrest, his brother in law, Jimmy Hardy, Hillcrest, his sister in law, Eileen Jones, Hillcrest, his grandson, Michael Klevinsky, Errington, BC, his granddaughters Amanda Stewart, Campbell River, BC, and Olivia Klevinsky, Nanaimo, BC and many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, chosen family, kind neighbours, grand dogs Molly and Hank, and a hungry family of backyard birds and squirrels! In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to the Canadian Cancer Society. A celebration of life will take place in the future, date to be determined. Evan will be cremated and interred next to Dorothy at the Gardens of Gethsemani in Surrey, BC. We will miss his selflessness, his grin, his sense of humour, his kindness, his love of animals, and his hospitality. Rest peacefully with the ancestors. “You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all he’s left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what he’d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” - Poem by David Harkins
