United Riders of Crowsnest Hosts Enduro Downhill Trials Trail network puts Pass on map of mountain biking destinations DAVID THOMAS Pass Herald Reporter When Coleman’s Darcy Neniska stepped to the winners’ podium Sunday afternoon, it was a triumph for the visionaries whose money and sweat made mountain biking a defining brand of Crowsnest Pass. Neniska, as a past president of United Riders of Crowsnest (UROC) is himself one of those visionaries. The organizers of the 2022 Norco Canadian Enduro series chose Crowsnest Pass for its second round of extreme downhill trials because of the quality of 80-km trail network built over 14 years by UROC and its funders. It all started back in 2008 with a Community Futures grant to built a mountain biking skills park at the foot of the town’s Pass Powderkeg skiing centre. The big boost was a $100,000 cheque in 2012 from Teck Resources to start construction of the now world-class network of single-track mountain biking trails. Then, in 2017, the celebration of Canada’s 150th year included a $150,000 federal grant to expand the network, followed this year by a $75,000 grant from the non-profit Alberta

Recreation and Parks Association which allowed the engagement of full-time trails coordinator, Amanda Goodhue. “It would cost $1 million to duplicate what we now have just at the ski hill,” said John Redekopp just before the first batch of riders pedalled through the Canadian Enduro arch on their way to the top of the mountain shortly after noon on Saturday. Redekopp, also a UROC past president and now a retired real estate agent, said mountain biking has become a driver of the property market as Crowsnest Pass builds a reputation for active outdoor recreation. Still simmering is a proposal by Castle Provincial Park to build an “Epic Trail”
certified by the International Mountain Bicycling Association. That plan was iced by the government of Jason Kenny and could be thawed by a new government after next years provincial election. All UROC trails are open to hikers as well as cyclists, including those riding pedal-assisted ebikes. The network is mapped in detail within the Trailforks app for both IOS, Android and Macintosh M1 desktop devices. Trailforks maps are downloadable for free off-line use in the user’s home region. For all desktop devices, the maps are available at www.trailforks.com. Page 2 for more Enduro news and photos

Pass Must Compete for Future Mountain Bike Enduros Downhill time trials are a fast growing segment of mountain biking competition and the Norco Canadian Enduro Series intends to expand into Quebec and Ontario for 2023. That means dropping one or two of the current Western Canada venues which this year includes Kamloops, Revelstoke, Vancouver Island, Panorama, Kelowna and Whistler in British Columbia and, of course, Crowsnest Pass in Alberta. There were 215 participants in last weekend’s round, less than the 300 needed to make each event comfortably profitable for the organizers. “This is the return after cancellation for two years because of the pandemic,” said series owner Matt Holbrook of Kelowna who purchased the series last year. “So we are making allowance for that in our planning.” One option under consideration is the scheduling one week apart of rounds in Fernie and Crowsnest Pass to double the attraction for distant competitors. Each Enduro event consists of six stages on different trails. Competitors are grouped by age range. Riders must pedal uphill to the start gate. Each rider wears a digital stop watch that automatically records the downhill time. Results from each of the stages are added to compute the total time. Our trails and landscape are ideal and hosting by United Riders of Crowsnest was flawless, said Holbrook. Operations manager Kara Delwo was struck by the beauty of the surroundings: “It’s gorgeous.” The one weakness of Crowsnest Pass identified by the organizers is the lack of a town tourism bureau that could promote the event and coordinate the logistics of lodging staff, competitors and their camp followers.

Beautification Is Key to New Strategic Plan
Griffiths said the more the community beautifies, the more it says that everyone loves it enough to work on it. “I like to say aesthetics are not just a ‘niceNICK ALLEN to-have.’ It is a cost of staying in the game when Pass Herald Reporter you’re looking at building a future landscape or looking at the younger generations,” added The municipality announced its new strategic Thomson. development plan at an open house in Elks This younger generation, known as Community Hall on June 16. Generation Z, is particularly mindful when it Beautification is defined as a strategic goal in comes to looking for a place to call home as promoting commercial and residential growth well. for Crowsnest Pass. “They’re renting places instead of buying Access to high-speed internet service is them because they can’t get a mortgage.

And so, they’re the presentation with Mayor Blair Painter more mobile than ever. Buying a house and introducing the speakers who helped council spending 80 years in that community isn’t shape the development plan. necessarily the number one option anymore,” Speaking on the new Strategic Development said Griffiths. Plan were consultants from 13 Ways Inc., He said they need one-, two- and threea company that provides consultation to bedroom condos and apartments they can rent communities across North America. Presenters until they decide they’re ready to move into Doug Griffiths, president and CEO of 13 Ways more permanent housing.

North America are changing, how they’re adapting, how they’re finding a pathway to success,” said Griffiths. First of all, he said the future of communities is heavily dependent on incorporating technology. “You guys have good broadband. It’s actually really good. It’s as good as you want to pay for. There’s a few weak spots around the community, but it’s no worse than it is for weak spots in the city of Edmonton,” explained Griffiths. Griffiths offered advice to municipalities asking how they are going to be effective in the future. “If you don’t adopt technology, the question is whether you are going to be relevant in the future,” he said. Another area that communities have been seeing is the next generation valuing community aesthetics and beauty according to Griffiths. They want it to be incorporated into their communities where they live and work. “Aesthetics attract people to your community, and you have a great foundation to work with,” said Griffiths, “There are very few places that actually have such an amazing mountain range to work with. And you’ve got history, and you’ve got housing with affordability, and you’ve got attractive main streets. You still have some work to do, but you’ve got such an amazing base that you can leverage to do incredible things.”
He said it ultimately comes down to the people of the community working with council to achieve the development plan. “If the town people or businesses are working against it, going in a completely different direction and saying, ‘Oh, I think it’s a waste of time and nothing’s going to happen…’ then that story, that message, is going to carry and you’re going to be mad at the town when population declines or it’s all tourist folks and there’s no permanent residents,” said Griffiths. Diversity and inclusion was also a major factor when considering where the younger generation of Canadians are moving to. “[Younger generations], and I don’t mean this to be offensive, do not want to live in a community that is only full of middle-aged white people and the only restaurant to eat is the Chinese-Western cuisine. They want diversity. They want to hear other languages. They want to experience other cultures,” said Griffiths Mayor Painter addressed the audience after the presentation and said the document will not last forever and will require another look in a few years.

Editorial Lisa Sygutek Welcome to our new and improved Pass Herald. We have had a few changes going on here in the office. As the weeks progress you will see a new format and layout for the paper. I’m excited by the change and look forward to our team producing a new and improved version of your community newspaper. As most of the community knows I have had some health issues for the last few months. In May I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer and to say the news was devastating is an understatement. I had surgery on May 31 and am already back at work. That’s the thing about owning your own business, you don’t really have the luxury of time off. We run a lean crew here and unfortunately being able to take time off was not an option. Rest assured I’m not walking much, pretty much sitting at my desk typing, then home and usually in bed by 7 pm. I would like to share with you all that the surgery was a complete success; I am now cancer free. I don’t have to do chemotherapy or radiation. I was one of the lucky ones that found the cancer very early and it was contained. I count myself as very lucky and blessed that in seven weeks I went from diagnosis to surgery to cancer free. Sometimes I can’t wrap my head around the experience other then to tell you that the Lisa before the diagnosis isn’t the same Lisa as today. Only those who have walked this path understand what that means, but I can tell you that cancer changes you in fundamental ways. So enough of that, I want to take a moment to thank a few key people in my life. To every person who found out about my news and sent cards and food, checked up on me to see how I was doing physically and mentally … thank you. I felt very loved and protected. To my family, what more can I say than I am the luckiest lady on this planet. They have gone above and beyond to take care of me, even vacuuming!
Council Notes
Seriously though, I have felt nurtured and protect on a number of levels. To the teachers and staff at CCHS, thank you for helping Quinn navigate a very stressful period in this life. He certainly was taken care of by his other family in the school. To every person who didn’t yell at Keiran for being a week or two behind in his business so he could help his mom, your compassion was amazing. To Craig Bishop for helping Aiden navigate a late start to his co-op so we could do a family vacation to Disneyworld, you showed compassion and kindness. You are a perfect leader for Teck. My staff, both new and old, have stood by me and helped me get this paper out without exception. My friends Emily and Frank at the Fort Macleod Gazette, even pulled up their sleeves and sent content. I have another David in the office and a new reporter Nick who have all just pulled up their sleeves and helped me navigate change. Betty, what more can I say other then she is the most amazing role model for a strong woman I can ask for. Even Michi and Shirley went above and beyond. All these people are salt of the earth. Professional, amazing people at work surround me. To my Council and the administrative team at the town, I couldn’t imagine being on a Council with any other people. They stepped up for me and always made sure I was informed and comfortable stepping back, yes, it’s hard for me to not be in the middle of things, I know! To my other family in Calgary who worked around my sickness and surgery I love you more then words can express. When all my family died I came to a quick realization that you learn about people in sickness, death and money. Well the sickness part hit me and boy did I learn who loved me and when I look at the experience I see how truly blessed I am by the people I have chosen as part of my life. So here’s to a quick recovery, a new paper and climbing mountains, though for the time being I’ll walk through a meadow of wildflowers.
Regular Meeting June 14, 2022
NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter Bellevue resident Kirsten Perry complained about the “lack of public engagement” on issues regarding the residential development coming to Dairy Road Park. She said the relaxations on road allowances have been pushed through to accommodate this “far-too-large development.” “Residents are overwhelmingly against these relaxations,” said Perry. She said roads that pre-existed the current standards are grandfathered in. “The old rules are being used as justification to create substandard rights of way.” Perry claimed the relaxations to accommodate the development demonstrates a lack of understanding and care for this community. Another Bellevue resident, Carmen Rollman, said residents would have liked more conversations about the decisions made by the council.
“We would like to think about this valley as a whole and not small project-based decisions that are not taking into consideration the big effects that they can have,” said Rollman. She said the residents of Bellevue want consultation on public land “rightfully owned by the people,” and there is a need to advocate for responsible development. “This proposal has long term implications which will change the social fabric of the community,” said Rollman.
He mentioned that is possible the approach needs to be reconstructed to a higher standard due to the amount of heavy traffic turning into the area.
Library Services The director of Chinook Arch Regional Library System, Robin Hepher, told council the system is struggling to provide services in a constrained financial environment. Provincial funding for libraries has been essentially static since 2016, he said. Every year Chinook Arch spends close to Donut Holes $900,000 on library materials. The Chinook Councillor Lisa Sygutek raised concerns Arch Regional Library System has introduced over potholes at the entrance to Tim Hortons at an automated library service in both Waterton the west end of Blairmore. and the Piikani Nation. These ‘micro-libraries’ Chief Administrative Officer Patrick offer an opportunity for individuals to have Thomas said road approaches are normally the books delivered to a machine for pick-up. responsibility of the property owner, though the “It’s not a substitute for any sort of actual town has attempted to fix the problem. library service, but it is a convenience thing “I think we’ve done three or four permanent for people who are living in an isolated area patches and the potholes just keeps creeping or have a challenge with transportation,” said more towards the property,” said Thomas.

Coleman Canada Day parade returns to original route
Nick AlleN
Pass Herald Reporter
The Coleman Community Society’s Canada Day parade is back this year after being unable to take place due to concerns surrounding the pandemic. The group is open to anyone who wishes to see the Coleman area and the whole Crowsnest Pass flourish according to information on the Crowsnest Pass Municipal Website on the organization. Coleman Community Society member Jane Ann Reimer said they will be going back the old parade route since 2018. “This will be three years that we haven't been able to do the route as usual because before COVID, we had our street beautification project. So Main Street was not ready for traffic and a parade in 2019,” said Reimer. She said the organiza-
tion are hoping to receive help from high school students for this year’s celebration. “We are just moving along with the Legion and other community groups like the museum and the APP (Alberta Provincial Police) Barracks , everybody kind of plays their role,” said Reimer. According to Reimer there will once again be a pancake breakfast at the Legion with the Coleman Lions offering their help. This will precedes the parade that kicks off at 11 a.m. and anyone wishing to enter a float needs to meet beforehand at the Horace Allen School parking lot. The parade will end up at Flumerfelt Park after about a half hour, explained Reimer. She said from noon to 4 p.m. there will be plenty of activities taking place at the ‘Family Fun Day’ in the park
“Astro Jump will be setting up a small bouncy house for the younger children,” said Reimer, “We also have back those bubble balls where the kids can climb into them and have some good fun with those.” The fun will not be only for the children, with concessions and the Harvest Spoon food truck also making an appearance. Reimer said there will be Canada Day cake, music from local musician Kevin Smith, karaoke and a beer garden. “We're ready to celebrate as I’m sure a lot of people are… it's a nice way for people to just be able to visit again with neighbours and friends,” said Reimer. The Coleman Community Society received funding from Canadian Heritage, the Municipality and the Crowsnest Pass Agriculture Society for the activities.

The Crowsnest Cando Society has assumed the lead role in the campaign to reopen the Roxy Theatre in Coleman. According to Howard Vandenhoef, communications director for the Crowsnest Cando Society, the Roxy Theatre was a very important part of downtown Coleman until it closed in 2002. He said the initial “Revive the Roxy” campaign launched in 2020 foundered amid pandemic lockdowns. The need for new campaign energy came at the perfect time for the Cando Society, according to fundraising director Pat Rypien. She said the Crowsnest Cando Society was established to enhance culture and recreation in the community so they “jumped on it.” “Vandenhoef said there are a number of artists in the Crowsnest Pass that need theatre space, including the Turning Point Dance Studio. “They have to go to Lethbridge for their premiere performances. They would rather do it here.” said Vandenhoef. There are now two theatre groups in the area, the Red Ravens and Deb Goldstein Productions, according to Rypien. “We’ll open our doors and we’ll be busy right from day one,” said Vandenhoef. He said there are also stand-up comedians looking for a local venue. With the completion of “Act Two” fundraising, the Cando Society is ready for the start of “Act Three” said Rypien. The Act Two funding of $100,000 covered historical, environmental and building studies, said Rypien. Vandenhoef said the next step is to raise money for the actual construction. Required upgrades include a new heating system, washrooms and flooring. “It’s a historical building, so we have to be very careful about what we are allowed to do,” said Vandenhoef. “Canada Day we are having a ‘Music at the Roxy’ event and will sell theatre-style popcorn,” said Rypien. There will also be Roxy Theatre merchandise for sale and a 50/50 draw. On July 28 there will be a wine and cheese reception at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre with the showing of a documentary by Ralph Thurn, former Roxy owner and CBC producer.

Border Scam The Crowsnest Police Department asks residents be aware of phone scams involving fictitious packages being held by Canadian Border Services.
The Simple Raven by Avner Perl In the story of the Hebrew slaves in ancient Egypt, the Hebrew scribes recorded the events mostly to show the power of God, not of the people. People enslaved were only the pawns in the game of history. Joseph, a Hebrew slave, rose to prominence and brought his family, Hebrew migrants, to Egypt, to save their lives. Over generations, they became a nation of slaves and the mighty hand of God saved them. Kings and armies fought and land titles changed hands. In the biblical stories, people became slaves most often when their country or city was conquered by a bigger army. Otherwise, your own countrymen could be sold as slaves if you couldn’t pay a debt. Slaves had no rights but had value. A king who wanted to build a city had to have many slaves to do the work. If he wanted a large army, he would gain an advantage by owning a lot of women of childbearing age. Christianity became popular and enslaving our own kind of people lost its luster, so a social change happened. Humans of other races were enslaved, while those more like the masters became serfs. The serf was a property that came with the land, but the master wasn’t obligated to keep them alive. The unwashed masses couldn’t negotiate anything to improve their living conditions. Their sons were drafted into armies and what they produced was taken away. Hunger was a way of life and if they broke the law to steal food, the penalties were harsh and deadly. In comes the industrial revolution. Farming improved, there was no need for as many peasants, and people were pushed into factory jobs in cities. Men, women, and children worked their lives away. The pay was mostly only enough to survive. Workers created wealth, nobility controlled the army, and the army protected the industrialists and nobility who benefitted from the work. There have been slave revolts, like with the Hebrew slaves in Egypt,
but never on a large scale. In the last couple of hundred years, we witnessed an additional dimension. The unwashed masses realized that united, they have power. They could withdraw their labor and sink the ship. When they did it the Communist way, it didn’t work well, was too expensive to maintain by using force, or they could form union federations and demand some human rights. In Northern Europe, a shortage of labor hindered economic development. Although labor withdrew from Church Christianity, a new idea took hold. All is one. The people can work together to improve everyone’s lives. In Christian terms, the people are the body of Christ. They all need bread. A country could do well if the government, employers, and workers worked together. An economy could also benefit from being open to competition avoiding monopolies. The northern Europeans proved the concept by experimenting on themselves. They developed the concept that a government is obliged to serve the people instead of the other way around. Understanding that the economy needs to sustain those who work in it, not just constantly growing, was another major step. Some people worked harder than others and are rewarded accordingly, but the first goal is to have enough to provide people with basic needs to avoid trouble. Strikes, revolutions, wars, and poverty are all very expensive. Dealing with ecological disasters is devastating. Fighting against economical forced migration is almost impossible. Humans are not a resource, they are our equals in our image. We shouldn’t work towards joining business and government to enslave people and wring the last drop of sweat and blood from them. Now the newest scheme is to call the workers independent businessmen, like the Uber drivers.

~ OBITUARIES ~ JOHN ROBERT EVANS August 29, 1936 ~ June 8, 2022 It is with incredible sadness that we announce the passing of John “Jack” Evans of Bellevue, AB on June 8, 2022. He was 85 years of age. Jack was born in Calgary, AB on August 29, 1936 to parents, George and Grace Evans. At an early age, the Crowsnest Pass, AB became his home. Here, he developed a great love for the outdoors and he explored and enjoyed it whenever he could while riding horses, hunting, fishing and camping. Jack also loved hockey and was a talented woodworker. Not only was he dedicated to his family, but also to his community as shown through his memberships with the Blairmore Elks and Coleman Legion. Jack was a kind and forgiving man who loved with his whole heart. He adored his grandchildren and was very proud of each of them. Jack has entered into eternal rest, but he will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind. Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his son, Robert (Alaina) Evans of Blairmore, AB; his daughter, Connie Elliott of Cochrane, AB; his grandchildren, Tucker Evans, Tavin Evans and Shaw Elliott; his great-grandson, Royce Konynenbelt; his brother, Ron (Ollie) Evans of Cranbrook, BC; as well as his extended family and many friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Grace Holt; his father, George Evans; his grandson, Ryan Konynenbelt; his brother, David Evans; and his companion, Beatrice Gregor. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Canadian Cancer Society (www.cancer.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca. Fantin’s Funeral Chapel entrusted with the arrangements. (403) 562-8555
