Local author’s new book ‘A Guide to Local Cemeteries’ DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

A new tool has been created to help guide visitors through the 12 heritage cemeteries of the Crowsnest Pass.

Ian McKenzie launched his first book at the Crowsnest Museum on Wednesday May 1st titled Guide to the Heritage Cemeteries of the Crowsnest Pass.

McKenzie has previously researched and written papers and articles on other Pass history topics but brought this project a step further than some of his previous work.

“Originally I was going to make a nice pamphlet. Any time I worked on it, it kept getting bigger. It got to the point where I had to stop calling it a pamphlet. I didn't know what to call it. So I started calling it a booklet but finally when I had to make a table of contents for it, I said it's probably a book,” said McKenzie.

The idea for this book came from McKenzie not wanting the history of regular residents to be forgotten.

“I just think that there are so many people that are forgotten by history.

Those are the ordinary people, not the famous people or the special people, just the ordinary everyday people that really helped create the Crowsnest Pass. Some people who were buried in our cemeteries we know very little about.

Sometimes all we know is what was written in the newspapers.”

McKenzie says his unique perspective played a role in how the book turned out.

“I'm not from the Pass so my perspective on these things is different than people who were born here. There are some pluses to that and some minuses as well. I did this book from the perspective of a visitor, which is probably not as easy to imagine if you were born here.

One of the first things I did when I set out to do this book is I actually visited each cemetery with a fresh set of eyes saying, ‘if I was a visitor, what would I want to know?’”

McKenzie says the book can be read on it’s

own but that it’s best utilized when using it while visiting a cemetery.

“It’s a guidebook. The idea is that you take it into the cemetery and use it as a tool to help a person enjoy the cemeteries.”

The stories that are in the book of people in these cemeteries are ones that McKenzie said he

found interesting and says some of these stories leave the reader with a bit of research to do if they want to find out all the information.

“I took some things that I ought to have expanded on but didn't. For example, I mention a person whose house is still standing in the Crowsnest Pass but I don't say where it is so it leaves the reader a little bit to dig into and research on their own.”

McKenzie says he

was also surprised by some of the sheer numbers of young people who died in the Pass and how many of them were miners.

“The first thing that strikes you is how many people died at a young age between 20-35. There are a lot of them in our cemeteries. A lot of them died in mines, and we know that but when you actually go through a cemetery and look at the descriptions on the stone

it is amazing how many people died in the mines here. It's actually quite shocking.”

After completing this book, McKenzie says there was a lot for him to learn and that there are still many things he doesn’t know but isn’t sure if he’ll do another book.

The sales made from the book will be given to the Crowsnest Historical Society as well and are available for purchase at the Crowsnest Museum.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

The party is over!

I am considered old now and the people of my generation don’t envy me. We live a long life but being old is not popular. My generation, which we shaped ourselves, idolizes youth. We wanted to change what was wrong with the world, and the change had to be done by young people. The others called us the Baby Boomers and we overwhelmed them by numbers. A whole lot of us became teenagers around the same time, and we did what teens normally do, namely rebel against everything. Our generation had lofty ideas, like ending wars, eliminating racial segregation, equalizing the genders and escaping the hold of the old churches over our souls. Out in the streets, we went singing “we shall overcome” and look at what we have done.

In the process, we worshipped youth and threw away the traditional belief that old people have experience and sometimes wisdom. Our old people were the people of the great wars. Folks who survived, often by obeying horrible dictators like Stalin, Hitler, and others. They wore formal clothes, cut their hair short, religiously shaved and believed in maintaining discipline by force. They hung on to the little they had and didn’t believe in creativity and risk-taking. Life was regimented and people knew their place.

A period of affluence followed the war and a large middle-class grew, with baby boomers riding the wave. We arrived upon the earth when the Great Depression effects were still fresh on people’s minds and horrible wars were a reality not a chapter in history books. Our parents had been through it. There were so many of us and most were heading towards becoming the envied middle class that lived in relative prosperity and peace, such as never existed before. We rode on the coat tales of FD Roosevelt’s “New Deal” which made not just America but most of the world great.

It was my generation that broke through the stratosphere and sent people to space. We were the people who first used the birth control pill and made music in the park all night long, marched on Washington demanding voting rights, eliminated the draft, death penalties (in most places) and successfully implemented Health Care everywhere but in the United States. Our girls invented and used modern makeup, cosmetic surgeries, proper dental care, exercise for the masses and feminism as a human right.

Now the party is over and the cleanup crew has not arrived yet. I and the rest of the BabyBoomers, Hippies that turned Yappies are still alive. Some have pace-

makers and others need hip replacements or dialysis but we are still alive. Eyes fixed by laser surgeries shed a tear when we think about missed opportunities and building up a culture where youth and wealth determine success. We may still have the home in the suburbs and drive a fancy SUV, but our kids unsuccessfully pursue our old goals of getting ahead and left us hanging out to dry or placed us in a lodge to be attended by newcomers also striving for Yappy ideals.

When we removed our Hippy hair and hand embroidered or tie-died shirts in favor of business suits and traded singing We Shall Overcome for airplane vacations, credit cards, and framed certificates, the world changed. Our generations cheated and bullied its way to fake prosperity leaving mountains of garbage and scorched earth in its wake. Our attitude of “fly now and pay later” was good for a short while but now is later, and we are still around wrinkled, bald and gray hiding behind manufactured rock facades and wrinkle reducing creams on our faces. The children we raised to believe they own the world with no need to pay with the hardships that our parents faced are trying not to miss their chance and destroying what's left of the world even faster.

I was watching a popular political commentary this morning telling about oil companies that are moving out since we have regulations demanding a clean up after drilling. The new government apparently is going to change it. They believe that economics is more important than ecology. Great, I murmured, since my people, the baby boomers will get the benefits while the millennials will figure out who will pay for the cleanup.

Our forefathers came to this land wild and harsh as it was. They cleared the natives, animals, forests, and insects and raised us to do the same. We were on a mission to conquer nature and make it efficiently produce wealth for us. We got rid of the people who built and served and replaced them with automation fueled by oil and gas. Our mega-corporations and banks that are too big to fail were able to control governments and take advantage of the planet's resources and most of its population, but now the party is over.

We taxed everything to pay for our pleasure. Freshwater is disappearing and the air is no longer cleaning the pollution or acting as it should, or regulating the weather. Floods, fires, droughts, and hurricanes became common and millions of people are adversely affected but the majority of Albertans I normally meet say it's not so. Seeking the comforts and pleasures we used to have, they declare “false news” and walk away in order not to argue. If the news bothers them, they choose not to watch the news.

Now it is too late for me to demonstrate or march against governments which may ruin my grandkids lives. I am old and being old is not fashionable. I fought for justice, I worked for my home and pension, and all I can hope for is that they don’t take my health care away, or I will fight. I sit and patiently wait for my kids to visit and write about what I have learned. Perhaps some young people will revive the old tradition. The tradition of appreciating old people for their experience and wisdom.

Editorial and Opinions HOlidays... GRiswOld style Well I actually took a week off work to take my family on a vacation ... and I’ll tell you, we were the Griswold’s on this one.

There was a one-week space between when Keiran finished his first year of university and started working at the pool. I had no hockey for Quinn and we are just at the beginning of swim club so no swim meets, and off we went for an epic adventure in Italy. Yes, Italy, the country of gelato, Roman Empires and wine. After this trip it’s the wine I still need.

In seven days we visited 12 cities and hiked 82.1 kms through London, Venice, Milan, Cinque Terre (Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, Riomaggiore), La Spezia, Pisa, Florence, Naples (Pompeii), Rome (Colosseum, Forum and Vatican) and back to London. We did this all with only a backpack for each of us.

Day 1: London - flew into London and then chartered a commuter flight to Italy. Mistake number one. We did this because it’s way cheaper to fly into London than fly into Italy and the bonus is a day in London ... until we missed our flight to Venice because the taxi couldn’t find my rental house. Down $750 right off the bat for a new flight.

Mistake number two weather - do not trust the weather app on your phone, it said 20 degrees the entire time, real life was rain most of the trip and wet backpacked clothes after hiking up a mountain isn’t good for anyone. We ended up using one backpack as the Hazmat pack of which I still can’t get out the stink.

Day 2: Venice - beautiful, but we got in late because of the missed flight, I would have loved a week there and ended up with an afternoon.

Day 3 & 4: Cinque Terre - five little towns all within about 30 kms of each other. It’s rustic and amazing and the plan was to hike through each town over the two days. First, let me tell you, the people there were not friendly. When we arrived in the first town, Monteresso, it was late afternoon and we started our first hike to Vernazza where we were spending the night. Half way up the mountain we found our trail washed out and ended up on a mountain road about three feet wide and winding. After a couple of hours hiking (let me tell you my Aiden is a scholar, not a hiker) we were truly lost with no cell coverage. We made it to the top. It’s dark, it’s foggy, it’s raining and we have almost been run over at least a dozen times when we see a beacon on the horizon, a restaurant. We go in and ask if we can eat and call a taxi and they say nope, get out. So out in the cold we go trying to find a taxi. Eventually we got back to Monteresso upon which we take a 3 minute train ride to our destination to find out our apartment doesn’t have hot water.

The next day is better as we hiked the rest of Cinque Terre and took a train to Le Spezza where we stayed.

Day 5: Pisa - after a long 3-hour train ride and hike to the monument, one word for it ... amazing.

It’s sunny out and I think we’ve got the bad stuff behind us, on to new and better things ... then Florence hits us. We train to Florence for lunch where a street hustler throws a bracelet on my arms demanding $50 for said bracelet. I had to scream at him to leave us alone, pulling my arm out of his hands while he’s telling me how beautiful I am and he loves Canadians. Pretty sure after I was done he didn’t like Canadians too much. P.S. Boys abandoned me - their excuss is embarrasment.

Day 6: Rome, with a day trip to Naples to visit Pompeii. We didn’t get a tour guide for Pompeii because Aiden knows more about Roman history then anyone I know and he said he had this. We arrive in Pompeii after a two-hour standing train ride where it was so crowded I swear my nose was stuck in some guy’s armpit. The whole time I’m thinking, “if this train flips because it’s too full Aiden will surely crush me”. We get to Pompeii and Aiden starts his tour. Now if you know Aiden at all he’s loud and the more excited he gets about something the louder he gets. He’s starts his tour and I look around to about 50 people following us as he tells the tale of Mount Vesuvius.

Unfortunately though, Aiden felt the need to correct the other tour guides when he heard them speaking incorrect information. They were not impressed.

Day 7: Rome again - the Colosseum, the Forum and the Vatican. Well I’m here to tell you do not book both things in the same day. Both were amazing, but after seven hours of walking tours I was thinking more about my sore back than the fact I was in the Vatican. When I got to the tomb of Pope John Paul II, I wasn’t sure if I was crying because it was him or because my back was ready to break.

Day 8: Home time - by this point I’m thanking the Lord I’m heading back to Canada. We head to the airport at 2:30 am because I’m paranoid I’m going to miss my 6:30 flight. We get there to find out our flight is delayed and so I’m not going to make my London flight back to Canada. Full melt down in the airport. Big, ugly crying ... it’s surprising how much help you can get when you have a full on nervous breakdown with only foreign speaking people. I call Delta and explain the situation to find out we can’t fly out until the next day at 8:00 pm and it’s a extra $455 per person for a flight change. Beggars can’t be choosers and by this point I just want the f*&k out of Italy. We arrive back in London that night and find a Hospitality Inn (no lie a semi-Canadian hotel) attached to the airport. We get a late check out and I’m feeling my luck has changed. At 2:00 pm the next day we go to their restaurant order a pizza every hour trying to kill 5 hours, until they finally kind of kicked us out. It’s at this point I realize that we have a layover in Amsterdam, a 13-hour layover and all hotels are booked up. This is one of the largest airports in Europe. We arrive expecting to sleep in chairs to find a lounging area with full on beach chair ... win for the family.

Finally we get home Tuesday and I’ve never been so happy to touch Canadian soil.

It’s been a week and now that the trauma has worn off I look back and smile. We did it ... we went to Europe and though it conquered us, somehow I still think we won. It made me realize what little fish we are in the big sea, how kind we are as a family (we would have helped lost people), how we can improvise and how much we can laugh and cry a terrible situation.

I spent 10 glorious days with my boys, a luxury we don’t often have anymore. I realized how mature Keiran has become after attending university, how self deprecating Aiden is and how he can kinda of hike up a mountain making me laugh the entire time he bitched. I realized how resilient Quinn is, at 12 he acted like 20. I’m poor after this trip, but man am I rich in memories and when I’m gone from this world my boys will tell their kids about the time mom took them to Italy. We honestly could have been a National Lampoons movie.

by David Selles Royal LePage South Country Real Estate Services Ltd. Instagram has recently taken a step forward in the world of social media.

Currently across Canada, they are testing a new form of “likes.”

Before the trial began, if you posted a photo or video on the social media platform, everyone that followed you could see how many people liked the post, now the only one able to see the actual amount of likes is the person who posted the content.

To me, this is a breath of fresh air in the media world where almost everything is based on who gets the most likes and how big a person’s social media presence is.

This idea will now put the focus back on what I think the original concept of a platform like Instagram was, sharing amazing content with other people.

This idea has received mixed reviews from many different people.

One of the more telling responses came from Logan Paul, an Internet personality, actor, director and musician who got famous based on content he posted.

He currently has millions of subscribers on YouTube and has 15.8 million followers on Instagram.

For a guy who got famous off of posting content and getting likes, his response caught me.

“They (kids) are growing up being taught how much to love themselves based on what other people think about them. It is so dangerous. Even me, it’s like ‘a post got less likes, did I do something wrong? Am I okay with myself?’ I think it will be so much healthier if people are more focused on what you’re posting, rather than how many likes it’s getting.”

Saying it will be healthier for other users of this platform is the key in his response for me.

According to a 2017 report from the Royal Society for Public Health in the UK, Instagram is currently the most detrimental social media app a person could have right now.

Eliminating users ability to see the amount of likes other users are getting compared to them will go a long way in changing that.

On Instagram, there are currently a couple different ways you can reach your followers.

The first one is by simply posting something to your page that your followers will see when they scroll through their timeline.

The second way to reach people is by creating what’s called a story that will appear for followers to view for a 24-hour timeframe and then disappear.

There are some people who are so focused on the amount of likes they receive that once they have posted something, they will create a story to make sure their followers know something new has been posted to ensure that they receive as many likes as possible.

Instagram has turned their users into people who don’t feel validated until they reach a certain number of likes.

It’s a sad state of social media but at least this test run is a big step in the right direction to eliminating some of that want for validation.

Rearing Up for the Rodeo DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

It’s almost time for bucking broncs and crazy cowboys to enter the Crowsnest Pass again.

The 37th annual Kananaskis Pro Rodeo is hitting the Coleman Sportsplex for an action packed weekend May 1012.

Kananaskis Rodeo Association President, Joe Trotz, says the competition will be great again this year.

“It’s just great action.

It’s a good rodeo. There’s a lot of action at our rodeo and we have world-class stock and world-class cowboys. It’s always exciting. One

bonus is that it’s the beginning of the year so most of the cowboys are healthy. Everybody’s out there trying to get their best ride and their best run.”

This years rodeo includes all the favourite events of the past and one special event that is being brought back after years of being excluded.

“We’ve got bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding, that’s the rough stock end. Then we have the steer wrestling, calf roping, team roping and barrel racing as well.

Also on Saturday, there will be a wild ride at the end of the bull riding event. . The wild ride will

entail someone dressed up on a saddle bronc.

Whoever has the wildest look and ride will win $500. Local contestants out of Pincher Creek and anybody from our area can enter.”

There will also be plenty of action for the younger generations at the rodeo this weekend.

“We have a junior rodeo that happens Saturday Morning. They can do team roping and a few of the other things that people who are in the pro circuits get to participate in. It’s part of our whole function but it’s not part of our main rodeo. We’ve got mutton busting everyday and we’ve got

bike races everyday for the kids. We’re giving away about 12 bikes this year.”

Overall, there will be around 360 contestants, which Trotz says is a good average and showing for this year’s rodeo.

There will also be a pancake breakfast put on by the Coleman Lions on Saturday morning as part of the rodeo festivities as well and the entertainment includes local country star Trevor Panczak.

Trotz believes that this rodeo is one of the best small community rodeos around.

“It’s pretty action packed. I don’t think in Canada or even North

America you can come and watch a smaller community rodeo this good.

We’ve got a lot of people who travel to come and see this rodeo. All the older cowboys and guys come and watch.”

Trotz also says that the location and small town feel, along with reasonable prices make the whole weekend a great experience for visitors.

“The nice thing about the rodeo is that it’s indoors so we never have to worry about the weather. People are very close to the action as well so you basically get dirt in your face at our rodeo.”

Due to construction

near the sportsplex, Parking at the complex will only be available for contestants, volunteers and people with limited accessibility.

All other spectator parking other than limited accessibility will be available at Crowsnest Consolidated High School with a shuttle running from there to the complex starting an hour and a half prior to the rodeo and one hour after the rodeo each day.

Spectators can also park at the east end of the Crowsnest Christian Community Centre but no shuttle will be run from this location.

Spray Lakes holds open house showing Logging Areas DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Residents of the Crowsnest Pass were given an opportunity to see where Spray Lakes Saw Mills will be harvesting over the next months.

The logging company held an open house on Thursday, May 2nd to give people the chance to

ask any questions and see the areas that will be harvested.

Ed Kulcsar, VP of Woodlands for Spray Lakes Saw Mills, says it’s an important tool to keep the public informed.

“We hold open houses annually in Cochrane and the Crowsnest Pass. It's an opportunity for people to

come out and see where we are going to be harvesting over the next year. It gives them an opportunity to look at the maps, if they know of any sites or unique areas or that type of thing that are of interest to them, it's an opportunity for them to mark them on the map and have those discussions with our planners

and operation guys.”

Kulcsar says having the maps at these open houses are useful because it just brings awareness to those areas.

“Specifically for this year it lets them know where we're going to be so if they are going to be in the area using the area at least they know we're there as well. They can be

CCHS Badminton season results

then aware from a safety perspective that there are ongoing operations in the area.”

Kulcsar added that people can also make them aware of things like trails and other pathways they may not be aware of.

This year, Kulcsar says there is a number of areas lined up including

two main areas.

“There are two primary areas that we will be operating this year in what's called the C5 Force Management Unit.

One is West Chain Lakes and the other is Wintering Creek.”

The harvesting season will begin in July and continue until March of 2020 in these areas.

HeralD Contributor On Mar. 30th we had 10 athletes that went to the Nanton Invitational Tournament. They all tried hard but came short of the medals but it was a great learning experience for all.

On April 13th in the Pincher Creek League Tournament everything was better. In the Juvenile Boys singles we had Austin Heyboer take a Bronze medal. Also in Mixed Doubles we had Olivia Collings and Austin Whelen beat out the team that beat them in the Nanton tourney giving them sweet revenge and a Gold medal. In the Midget com-

petition we had Allen Pierson move up to play mixed with Kate Brown.

Also Avery Whelan and Logan Davidson moved up and played hard. Finally our Bantom Division faired very well. Quinn Douglas played very hard and took the Silver medal.

Minal Sajid came up short but tried his best.

In girls singles Luca Canderan came away with a Bronze medal.

Maya Veldman also came up a little short. Being able to coach these young athletes is a privilege and they do feel like our own.

Coaches Sieg and Rose Gail say it’s so nice to see them finally put together

what we’ve been telling them. The south zone junior high badminton competition took place in Lethbridge on May 4 with 24 schools participating.

With fierce competition our kids did really well with Colten Wajtowicz placing third in his pool.

Maya Veldman, Matty Jansen, Kalab Verheyden and Shane Gray all fell short of placing but never the less playing their best games all season. Olivia Collings and Austen Whelen walking away with a well deserved bronze medal in a tough match in the juvenile division. Well done to all our badminton players.

Soccer Season Soccer season has begun in the Crowsnest Pass. Age ranges from U10-U4 all began their seasons on Wednesday May 1st. The season will continue for the kids into early summer.

Fire Rescue Thank you to everyone who showed up to visit us at the Home and Lifestyle show at the end of April. We had lots of citizens stop by to talk about our fire department, with lots of suggestions and praise for our members. It gave us a great opportunity to connect with the people in our service area.

You will be seeing us around town a lot more in the coming months helping support community events such as Kananaskis Pro Rodeo and Sole Survivor race. Some of our members are participating in the 2019 Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge in Calgary on May 4th so we wish them the best of luck in this exhausting event that supports the fight against cancer.

Interesting note-there are 17 presumptive cancers that are recognized occupational hazard of the firefighter’s job.

And as the weather gets better you will also see us taking our training outside practicing vital skills like vehicle extrication, pumping operations, and wildfire interface. Feel free to stop by and say hi.

With spring starting up, people are starting to enjoy their backyards and sparking up their fire pits. Just a reminder that a fire pit should be constructed and placed in accordance with the definitions placed in the Fire and Rescue Service Bylaw NO. 839, 2012. More information can be found on the Municipal website.

Everyone at Crowsnest Pass Fire Rescue wants to congratulate the Crowsnest Consolidated High School graduating class of 2019. Good job on all your hard work and as always, celebrate safely.

CNP Youth Week

Simple connections builds stronger communities AHS

David Selles photo

This years Crowsnest Pass Youth Week kicked off with a BBQ put on by the Blairmore Lions Club at CCHS. The week is full of activities and events that highlight the youth in the community.

In today’s world, people face a number of issues that have an impact on their individual mental health and the wellbeing of their communities. Those issues might take the form of poverty, substance use, environmental issues, or public health, but fortunately, there is a way to overcome these challenges and build community resiliency.

Resiliency is the capacity of each of us to bounce back, or even spring forward, from adversity. One way to build resiliency is through caring and supportive relationships with others.

Human beings are social

beings and as such we thrive on the connections we make with others.

When we make a connection with an infant or young child, we are helping to develop healthy brains. When we make a connection with our colleagues, we are more effective in our work.

When we make a connection with our neighbors, we make our neighborhoods safe and healthy places to live. When we make a connection with our friends and family, we nurture resilience and thrive.

Building resiliency within a community means that we must strengthen the capacity of each community member to connect with others.

How we make these connections can sometimes feel like a daunting task. It doesn’t have to be…it can be the simple connections on a regular basis that lead to a stronger community.

Start building simple connections within your community by joining us at the 6th annual Move for Mental Health Fun Walk/Run on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 1 to 4

pm! This 2km and 4km run through Kin Coulee Park is open to individuals and teams who wish to join us for a fun day of activity (runs will NOT be timed). Registration is free! Live music by Mahoney! Family Self-Care Fair! Family Fun Zone with games & bounce houses! Cool prizes!

This toolkit also provides tips for making simple connections with others.
