On Monday, June 15 a demolition crew removed a wooden CPR building in west Blairmore. The building was erected by the CPR as a maintenance building in the late 1970’s when the original station was decommissioned in the late 50’s early 60’s. The building also housed the track buggies. By the end of the day, it was as if the building never was.

DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter The Alberta Government has moved into Stage 2 of their relaunch strategy.

This move into Stage 2 comes earlier than expected after low case counts across the province continued during Stage 1.

Stage 2 allowed additional businesses and services to reopen and resume operations starting June 12 with physical distancing requirements and other public health guidelines in place.

Business operators, sport and recreation services can determine if they are ready to open and ensure all guidance for workplaces are met.

The following is a list of what is now able to open in Stage 2: • K-12 schools, for requested diploma exams and summer school, following guidance • libraries • more surgeries • wellness services such as massage, acupuncture and reflexology

Will be re-opening Tuesday - June 16

By Appointment Only (for now) Phone: 403-562-2726

COvid RESTRiCTiOnS • 1 Person only allowed in building at a time • Hair must be washed • Please wear a mask (compulsory) • Hand Sanitizer Will be supplied

• personal services (esthetics, cosmetics skin and body treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing, facial treatments, artificial tanning) • movie theatres and theatres • community halls • team sports • indoor recreation, fitness and sports, including gyms and arenas • pools for leisure swimming • VLTs in restaurants and bars • bingo halls and casinos (but not table games) • instrumental concerts • provincial campgrounds at full capacity The government also announced that gatherings in Stage 2 can be larger: • 50 people maximum: indoor social gatherings, including wedding and funeral receptions, and birthday parties • 100 people maximum: outdoor events and indoor seated/audience events, including wedding and funeral ceremonies

• No cap on the number of people (with public health measures in place): - worship gatherings - restaurant, cafes, lounges and bars - casinos - bingo halls • More flexibility for ‘cohort’ groups – small groups of people whose members do not always keep 2 metres apart: - households can increase their close interactions with other households to a maximum of 15 people - performers can have a cohort of up to 50 people (cast members or performers) - sports teams can play in region-only cohorts of up to 50 players (mini leagues) - people can be part of a sports/performing cohort and a household cohort at the same time This is the list of activities still not allowed under Stage 2: • social gatherings that exceed above listed maximums • regular in-school

classes for kindergarten to Grade 12 – classes will resume September 2020 • vocal concerts (as singing carries a higher risk of transmission) • major festivals and concerts, large conferences, trade shows and events (as these are nonseated social events and/or vocal concerts) • nightclubs • amusement parks • indoor children’s play places • hookah lounges (permitted for food and drink only) • major sporting events and tournaments • non-essential travel outside the province is not recommended – this won't be lifted until stage 3 of the relaunch strategy According to the government of Alberta website, the success of Stage 2 will determine when Alberta progresses to Stage 3. Factors for moving to the next stage are active cases, health-care system capacity, hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) cases, and infection rates.

Alberta Stage 2 of Relaunch Strategy

DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter The time for graduation ceremonies is getting closer and with that, new ways to celebrate.

Due to restrictions surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, high schools across southern Alberta and into BC are finding creative ways to celebrate their graduates.

Here in the Crowsnest Pass, CCHS has planned many different activities to celebrate this year’s graduating class.

“The day we would've had our may celebrations, we released a video with hashtags of congratulations with our staff. It got a lot of views which was nice. Our class president also did an address to his peers that day,” said Principal Christine McKie. CCHS will also have a special grad issue created by the Pass Herald featuring congratulations from many members of the community and will include all the things that

would normally occur at their graduation ceremony.

Each grad will also get a box of surprises given to them on June 26th.

On June 18th, CCHS will be doing their scholarship presentation via ZOOM. The class also had photos taken on Old Frank Road.

Parents of this graduating class are also planning an alumni evening during Thanksgiving weekend.

In Lethbridge, many different schools have planned different celebrations.

At Chinook High School on June 19, there will be a drive-in style convocation in one of the schools parking lots.

The 280 graduates will be split into five different groups and will rotate through a 30-munite ceremony.

Staff of CHS also plan to provide custom graduation boxes of keepsakes

to each graduate.

On June 20, Lethbridge Collegiate Institute will host a car processional around the school.

One vehicle per family will have the chance to drive around LCI. Students there will also receive a commemorative grad booklet.

Winston Churchill High School’s Virtual Graduation will be held June 25 with a grad video customized for the class of 2020.

Churchill staff also plan to deliver grad-inbox packages to each graduate, which will include a cap and gown, grad pin, commemorative grad certificates and other keepsakes.

Grad-in-a-box packages are set to be delivered sometime before June 19.

On Friday, June 26, Immanuel Christian Secondary School is hosting a drive-in graduation in the Trinity Reformed Church parking lot.

Graduates and their families will have as-

signed parking stalls, as the ceremony will include a speech by the principal and the valedictorian, which attendees can tune into via their vehicle stereos.

Victoria Park High School staff will visit the front yards of each graduate, and will deliver graduate gift boxes, which will include a graduation certificate, cap and tassel and additional personalized notes and messaging.

Each grad will also have a short tribute read to them by their advisor.

In Elkford, graduates of Elkford Secondary School will be able to celebrate in special ceremonies.

Four staff members will travel to each graduates home and do a brief ceremony and presentation of diploma and scholarships on June 25.

In trying times like this, it’s nice to see many different celebrations taking place for graduates across southern Alberta and BC.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Fear, hope and reaction.

Social Rebirth.

I feel privileged to be able to communicate with my chosen community in the Alberta Rockies once a week. I am blessed to have a limited space of half a page in a local newspaper and I hear comments from readers all the time. I don’t mind doing the work, it’s a pleasure, but I have a hard time choosing the most relevant topic.

My favorite subject has always been something philosophical or spiritual, but events hijack my focus. Politics and economics are so important yet often ignored.

The state of our world, be it peace or war or environmental justice must be dealt with or there will be an end to God’s creation as we know it. It may happen in the lifetime of my precious grandchildren. COVID attacks people, the economy is in ruins and politicians are demanding air time in the name of Democracy.

My fingers holding the pen above the paper, or something like that, and I am ready to write about “towers and the holy spirit.” I have been preparing for that.

NO! The hand of God waves back and forth, ordering me to change the subject. I am an obedient guy, so I switch my computer screen to news and see what the Lord may want.

The world is up in arms about a well-publicized killing of a US citizen in the hands of police. The video is horrific. It shows a very tall, muscular African American submitting to police in every way, killed slowly. No mistake here. This is police brutality. Soon there are more videos surfacing and other cases are brought into focus.

In the last few years, I watched a constant increase in civil unrest. People seem to have reached a point in which they say enough is enough. Personally, I interpret the impatience as discontent with the way things are, based largely on the obvious and ever-increasing inequalities in society. I could be wrong.

The day after President Trump’s inauguration, we witnessed the largest women’s protest ever. The Black Lives Matter has been steadily growing. A “Me Too” movement sprung up when some very influential people were named for abusing girls and there is economy based unrest. People all over the world, especially in the US, are protesting measures designed to prevent or influence voting rights and the appointment of judges is being questioned.

Here in our province, we saw a great reaction to the way the government treats education and health professionals. In Ontario, the Premier reversed course and now people are talking about the New Doug Ford and the Old Doug Ford as if they are

fraudsters disguises the number seen on the ID display in order to trick victims into answering phone. The person will ask for SIN and other personal info, such as date of birth, address, etc. Victims who provide personal info are at risk of identity fraud.

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

Anyone with information regarding any crime is urged to contact the Crowsnest Pass RCMP Detachment at 403-5622867, or Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1800-422-TIPS. Reminder to residents of computer scams, credit cards scams, Grandparent scams, Revenue Canada scams asking for money or cash cards and saying warrants out for arrest, do not give out personal information to persons you don't know.

two different people. It is obvious that people no longer believe that the regular methods of advancing social change are working for their needs.

George Floyd’s funeral was televised everywhere. Many thousands of people in other parts of the world, including Canada and America, were protesting his killing, often facing police violence themselves. Some used the opportunity to create additional mayhem by burning and looting. George’s niece, a pretty girl who looks sixteen gave an emotional speech about the gentle giant who cried for his mother as they choked his life out of him. She said in a husky teen girl voice full of tears, “no justice, no peace.” The huge cathedral was full of silent Americans. They all looked human to me and I was thinking, their lives matter, as any human life.

Later a golden casket was carried by a horse-drawn carriage through the streets of Houston lined with people. I found myself thinking, here is a man who died for $20.00. Will the billionaire now in the White House have as many people at his funeral? I remembered the words I heard on June 5th, 1970, from Apollo 13th. “Houston, we have a problem.”

“When the US catches a Cold, Canada sneezes.” It looks as if people in both countries are ready to explode. I remember the sixties and the seventies very clearly.

We had what became known as the Middle Class. Then something changed. No one event riled people up, only slow change. Here we had the usual switching over between Liberals and Conservatives every few years and so did the US, but life changed.

One day my kids were grown and starting families and I noticed a significant difference. In the seventies, working folks could afford an education, keeping up with inflation, and even saved towards retirement. Some of us even managed to work a four-day workweek and most had delightful holidays. Slowly but surely the working class lost ground while earth-shattering profits of Corporations rose. Some people tried to protest, so they equipped the police with riot gear and ordered to fight the poor. We are a land of law and order, said those who purchased lawmaker’s positions. The laws favored the powerful, not us, in the name of “jobs.”

People were ready to rebel as soon as they would find a just cause and now they do. What could be more just than systemic discrimination, first towards minorities but also against an entire class of people? Some educated people are predicting another vast setback for the working class after the COVID crisis. Together we who work make a majority and now can all see it.

I feel sorry for the righteous people who have the job to police this mess. They are being hit from all sides. The left fights them, the far-right fight them, and they are often punished for following orders. In New York, a whole lot of officers resigned already.

The way we do policing will change now by public demand. What we need is to bring those brave men and women back into the fold. They are like us, the lost middle class. We should all be working together to fix a system that no longer serves us. I urge people in my community to step over towards any of our police officers, even if he/she gave you a ticket, and say: thank you for what you do.

Pools allowed to open in Stage 2 of Alberta relaunch Municipality still unsure when the local community pool will be open for operation DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

As part of Stage 2 in Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy, community pools will now be able to open.

The pools will face strict guidelines and limitations when open.

Here is the official document stating all guidelines for pools like the Crowsnest Pass Pool, need to follow: GUIDANCE FOR SWIMMING POOLS ANDWHIRLPOOLS This document has been developed to support operators of swimming pools and whirlpools in reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19 among attendees (including workers, volunteers, patrons and the general public). The guidance provided outlines public health and infection prevention and control measures, specific to aquatic facilities.

Operators of public swimming pools must continue to comply with requirements in the Public Swimming Pools Regulation and Pool Standards. Operators are encouraged to call their local public health inspector with AHS prior to reopening an aquatic facility.

Public health inspectors can assist in provided resources and support for reopening swimming pool facilities during pandemic.

This document and the guidance within it is subject to change and will be updated as needed.

Current information related to COVID-19 can be found: https://www.alberta.ca/covid-19-information.aspx.

COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Points of Entry /Access  Physical barriers are recommended to separate the front desk attendant and the patrons. Consider

a contact-free check-in for staff or patrons.

Limit physical contact by using online payment and registration.

If wrist-bands are required, the operator should use self-applied bracelets and provide waste containers at the facility exit point for their disposal.  Capacity limit is a maximum of 100 people, as long as physical distancing of 2 metres between is maintained.

To help maintain capacity, operators should encourage patrons to book/sign up ahead of time.

Consider setting a time limit on facility use for each patron.  Screen patrons to ensure they do not have COVID-19 symptoms.

Anyone exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms cannot enter the pool or facility and must isolate at home.  Provide hand sanitizer (60% alcohol or higher) at entry and exit points, and encourage patrons to also bring their own.  Wherever possible, establish processes and reminders for physical distancing between patrons, which could include things like one-way flow of movement and separate entrances and exits to the facility and rooms throughout the building.  Encourage and facilitate attendees staying up to date with developments related to COVID19.  Notify attendees of the steps being taken to prevent the risk of transmission, and the importance of their roles in these measures.  COVID-19 signage should be posted in highly visible locations: “Help prevent the spread” posters are avail-

able.

When possible, provide necessary information in languages that are preferred by attendees.  All Albertans must follow CMOH Order 052020, which establishes legal requirements for quarantine and isolation.  Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19, with a history of travel outside Canada in the last 14 days, and anyone who has had close contact with a COVID-19 case in the last 14 days must remain at home.  Operators should develop a plan to provide isolation for an attendee if needed.

Physical distancing requirements  Physical distancing of minimum two metres should be maintained by attendees at all times, unless from the same households or cohort family.  Wherever possible, establish measures around the facility, such as: One-way traffic measures for showers, change rooms and washrooms; Place stickers or signage on the wall/floor to establish two-metre distancing; Space deck seating in accordance with twometre physical distancing requirements; Establish measures to avoid non-cohort groups (e.g., swim classes, swim teams) from congregating.  Width of swim lanes should be considered for physical distancing.

Consider possibly alternate lanes, or having swimmers use middle of the lane only and return by the adjacent lane.

If swimmers need to pass, they must maintain a 2-metre distance.

Stagger times for lap swims, practices and lessons.

Masks and Protective

Equipment  Masks should not be worn in the water by bathers, as they present a safety risk.  Masks may be worn by patrons on the deck or other areas of the facility.  Staff should wear PPE appropriate for work being performed, i.e., for First Aid or resuscitation.

Please refer to specific guidance from Lifesaving Society and Red Cross.

L o c k e r Rooms/Change Rooms  Ensure that surfaces, sinks and toilets are cleaned and disinfected regularly.  Remove commonuse items from locker rooms.  Minimize use of lockers to ensure physical distancing can be maintained.  Post occupancy limits for common areas such as change rooms/locker rooms, and washrooms.

Rapid Response and First Aid  Facilities are required to have a rapid response plan in place to

manage symptomatic patrons and staff.  Refer to Lifesaving Society and Canadian Red Cross for specific guidance on mitigating the risk of COVID transmission during First Aid. Swimming Lessons & Aquatic Fitness Classes  Reduce the overall number of participants in classes and swim camps to ensure physical distancing can be maintained.  Continue to offer virtual classes or training wherever possible.  Allow adequate time to disinfect any shared equipment between each class.  Mitigate the potential for classmates to gather on the pool deck before a lesson by spreading out lesson times.  Prevent lineups from occurring on the pool deck during classes (e.g., when children are learning to use diving board).  Amend teaching practices to maintain physical distancing between instructor and patrons.

Pool Activities

 Aquatic sports, diving, lane swimming, swimming camps, swimming lessons, drop-in, leisure aquatic features (such as lazy rivers, water slides and wave pools) and public swimming are permitted to resume in Stage 2.

Dive Tanks & Diving Board  Install physical markers on the walls/floor to indicate two-metre distances where divers may line up.  Increase cleaning frequency of handrails used on ladders leading to diving boards.

For a full list of the guidelines for pools to open, visit alberta.ca/relaunch.

Opening date for the Pass Pool will be determined as soon as possible.

All municipal facilities are projected to open by the end of the month once their site-specific modifications have been determined and implemented to meet the health requirements and the safety of the community.

Editorial Loss, sometimes I feel like I’m an expert at it.

Whenever something bad happens to me I try to figure out what the life lesson is, what I’m supposed to learn from the experience in order to grow as a person.

I parent this way as well. When things happen to my boys, whether it’s self induced or an outside influence, we sit down, discuss the situation and try to find the teachable moment. I always try to find these moments, but sometimes I have to throw my hands in the air and say, “I can’t tell you why this happened, other then there are crappy people and situations out there and sometimes you can’t find the reason”.

Death is one of those situation where you try to find out what the teachable moment is. Having lost so many people in my life, it took me a long time to figure out what I was supposed to learn from the experience.

With my father it was that with his stroke came a change in personality, he became a loving, sweet, kind man who would greet me everyday with with a, “there’s my sweet 16”. It was 11 months of having a dad that you would see on tv. No lie. My dad was a hard working man, not particulary loving, in fact a bit distant. So my learning moment was having a dad, even for a moment, like some of my friends did and I relished every moment with him.

With my mom it was a lesson on living. I asked my mom when she was dying if she had any regrets and she looked me in the eye and said, “Lisa I’m dying with a lifetime of regrets”. It was probably the most profound moment in my life. So from my mother’s death, I learned to live.

When Buddy died, it was one of those moments when I couldn’t find the teachable moment. To this day I just feel loss when I think about him. I miss walking through the door and hearing him in the office, often yelling because he couldn’t quite hear perfectly anymore. It was just one more death in a series of losses for me and all I feel is profound loss.

This week you will read a story from John Kinnear about his life with the love of his life Lorraine.

He’s put himself out there with his grief exposed and he’s letting us all know the person he loved over half his life. When I read it I had ugly tears in my eyes for the loss he’s going through. The pain is raw and you can read it in his words. See, that’s the thing with loss, we each deal with it in different ways whether it be writing, talking, reading or solititude. All I know is that after reading John’s message to his wife I am envious of him. How many of us can honestly say they have loved and been loved so completely. What a gift they both had and it’s that love that will cause him such a chasm of grief.

In the next couple of months I’m losing one more of my boys. I know I talk about them a lot and I know I put it out there how much I adore them and I will tell you I already feel the loss. I have no family left and in many ways I’m an orphan out there. I don’t have siblings close by, my brother lives in the states, and I don’t have parents or grandparents. It’s just me and these fantastic boys I love so much that are slowly leaving me as well.

It seems life is about birth and loss and everything in between is a journey from one to the other.

In order to find some solace I try to find that teachable moment. For John I believe that it’s about how to love and be loved by someone. For me with Aiden it’s about giving him wings and letting him go to fly. I would follow him anywhere, but utlimately he’s got his own journey and I hope I gave him the tools to do great things in this world. I only hope I live long enough to see the great things he accomplishes. You would think I’m an expert at loss but each time it happens it brings me to my knees.

Somehow though I get up and keep going because isn’t that what life is all about?

Eye on Education: COVID-19 Screen Time

Written by Darryl Seguin, Superintendent, Livingstone Range School Division Jimmy wakes up, and before he even gets out of bed, he reaches for his phone to catch up on all his social media. He eats breakfast while messaging his friends. His parent reminds him that it is time for schoolwork. Still in his PJ’s, Jimmy sneaks in a few of his favorite video games before he is reminded once again that his school day should have started by now.

Jimmy groans, rolls his eyes and grudgingly sets down his phone, pulls out his tablet and together Jimmy and his parent begins looking at the day’s assignments.

As the day wears into suppertime, Jimmy is continually distracted by the constant flow of messages from his friends pinging away on his phone, and the video games he plays any chance he gets. He hates that his “school day” seems like it goes on FOREVER and is not impressed with the amount of time his assignments take. He spends most

evenings and weekends in his room watching TV and movies, playing online video games, hanging out in chat rooms with strangers, and catching up on all his social media platforms.

Janie jumps out of bed and quickly shuts off her 6:00am alarm clock.

She makes her bed, has a quick shower, and gets ready for the day. She happily enters the kitchen and helps her parent as together they make, and eat, a healthy breakfast before Janie settles into her designated workspace to joyfully begin her at-home learning. Janie will spend the morning working on her laptop, focusing on her assignments. She will take a lunch break to eat and catch up with her friends on the phone. After her lunch, Janie will take a short time to finish any schoolwork she might not have completed.

This has been her consistent routine since in-person classes were cancelled back in March.

Her afternoons and evenings are often spent in a variety of ways: watching TV, listening to music, working on goals, exercising, playing outside, crafting, or cheerily doing her chores all while connecting with friends and extended family on her social media, messaging apps and video apps.

On Sundays, she and her family attend church online and watch family movies together.

While these extreme scenarios lend themselves more toward fiction than fact, they highlight a new reality that is causing concern for parents of athome learners during this COVID pandemic: the significant increase in screen time. Too much screen time can lead to depression, sleep problems, poor eating habits, sedentary lifestyles and exposure to dangerous content and online predators.

With the main focus of at-home learning being literacy and numeracy, students may be forget-

ting the importance of what they learned during in-class digital citizenship lessons, which emphasized the importance of acting responsibly and respectfully online, the avoidance of sharing personal information, and the effect students’ digital footprints may have on their futures. It is therefore more important than ever that parents take an active role in monitoring their children’s online activities and screen time and having conversations with their children about online safety and the importance of balance and setting personal time limits on digital devices.

As the school year ends, I hope we choose to put down our devices a little more, limit our screen time, spend quality time with our families, enjoy the outdoors, read stories, play board games and build lasting memories of family, love and joy.

Wishing you all a safe and happy summer!

Musings from you local reporter

This past Sunday, I was able to enjoy a beautiful hike up Turtle Mountain with two of my sisters.

It was my first time hiking Turtle and I’m not going to lie, it kicked me in the butt a bit.

I had read different reviews of the hike and for the most part people were saying that, while it wasn’t easy, it was a very manageable hike.

My problems began the night before with a poor nights sleep.

I don’t know if it was my excitement to hike or what but for some reason I just didn’t get the sleep I was hoping for.

Shortly after I woke up, my sisters arrived.

This limited my breakfast to a couple granola bars, which turned out to be a mistake.

I also decided that I wanted to take my full size camera up the mountain to get some photos, which was mistake number two.

Shortly into the hike I was already feeling a little dizzy and nauseous due to my unpreparedness.

I still managed to make my way to the false peak with my sister’s encouragement along the way and I’m glad I did.

The views from Turtle Mountain are amazing, even if you don’t go to the summit.

We were limited in how high we could go because of how windy it was.

The climb was definitely worth battling the wind though.

It’s amazing how far you can see once you’re near the top.

The views were spectacular and I can’t wait to hopefully summit Turtle in a couple weeks with friends.

I’ll be much more prepared this time around though as now I know just what I’ll be facing on my next attempt to summit.

When I go again on the 27th, I’ll be substituting my camera for two hiking poles and will make sure I have a solid breakfast an hour or so before I start the hike.

I’m glad I was able to learn from my mistakes on this attempt and look forward to climbing not only Turtle but many of the other beautiful mountains in the Crowsnest Pass this summer.

Police chase RCMP

At approximately 9:20 a.m., on June 8th, 2020, Crowsnest pass RCMP members received a request for assistance from Elk Valley RCMP located in British Columbia. Elk Valley RCMP were following a vehicle linked to multiple complaints and was witnessed driving dangerously through multiple manned construction zones while driving eastbound on Highway 3 toward Alberta.

Crowsnest Pass RCMP monitored the situation and as requested by Elk Valley RCMP deployed tire deflation devices on the suspect vehicle. Once the tire deflation devices were deployed, Crowsnest Pass RCMP took over the pursuit within Alberta jurisdiction. The suspect vehicle continued eastbound on Highway 3 for approximately 10 kilometres. The suspect vehicle struck a guard rail within the community of Coleman and police attempted to move into a position to effect an arrest when it collided with a police car.

The vehicle eventually came to a stop and the youth driver was subsequently taken into custody without further incident.

The youth was assessed by EMS on scene and transported to local hospital as a precaution. No one was injured.

An investigation continues at this time and multiple charges are being pursued within Alberta as well as British Columbia. The youth was released to a parent.

Voting Process for upcoming Conservative Party Leadership DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Conservative Party of Canada are continuing their search for a new leader.

After Andrew Scheer announced he would be stepping down as party leader, members of the party have been looking to other candidates to lead the party.

The process will proceed with mail ballots, as required by the Party Constitution, and

all ballots will need to be completed and received

by August 21.

Anyone who is interested in voting for the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada must be a member of the party.

Per the CPC website: “Eligible Conservative Party of Canada Members will receive a voting ballot in the mail in the coming weeks.

Mail ballot voting will allow one vote per member using a ranked

ballot system. Votes are calculated so that each electoral district is allocated 100 points. Leadership candidates will each be assigned a point total based on the percentage of the vote they receive in each electoral district. In order to win, a candidate must receive at least 16,901 points giving them a majority.

The Conservative Party will announce a new party leader after August 21, 2020 as soon as ballots can be prop-

Health Foundation Golf 23rd annual tournament would have taken place the third Friday in June

The 23rd Annual Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation Golf Tournament would have taken place on the 3rd Friday in June with over 100 participants from our community and across Southern Alberta coming out to support our local hospital. Until the unprecedented year 2020, we have never cancelled our tournament but did postpone it due to the flood in 2013. Although we cannot hold the usual event this year, we feel that it would be fun and healthy if everyone who enjoys the game to join our “Virtual CNP Golf Tournament” by playing a round of golf with family or friends during the month of June. We would like to share in your experiences so please e-mail a photo of your group to Joan.Koinberg@ahs.ca to be published in our upcoming CNP Health Foundation Newsletter.

Over the years, as our largest fundraising event, the CNP Health Foundation Golf tournament has been generously supported by close to 100 sponsors. Through their continued contributions and players supporting our event, the Health Foundation has been able to purchase important equipment such as a portable ultrasound machine, vital signs monitors, operating room equipment and Lifepak machines, all of which are used on a daily basis in our hospital.

During the past months we all discovered how important our health care workers and well-equipped hospitals are to our families. If you would like to continue to support our Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation Golf Tournament “virtually” you can do so by going to https:// www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/crowsnest-passhealth-foundation/. Include “CNP Health Foundation Golf 2020 Undesignated Funds” in the message box or you can mail a donation to Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation, Box 455, Blairmore, AB, T0K 0E0. Thank you for helping our CNP Health Care Centre.

MP for the Foothills region, John Barlow, says that voters should try and cast their ballots as early as possible.

“Due to the slowing of Canada Post as a result of the Covid-19 I would recommend members get their ballots returned in the mail as soon as possible.”

Council Briefs DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter The following topics were discussed at a regular Council Meeting on Tuesday June 9th, 2020.

RCMP 2019 Year Review Annually in June, the Sergeant of the Crowsnest Pass RCMP detachment presents a report in review of the previous year to Council. This provides Council an opportunity to understand where the RCMP resources have been concentrated and the nature of and frequency of crime in the Crowsnest Pass. It is also an opportunity for the Sergeant to advise Council of future plans and programs planned for the community. The following numbers are the reported and actual violations in multiple categories: JAN 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019 Traffic Offences – reported – 1,702 actual – 1,688 Other Criminal Code – reported – 146 actual – 128 Drug Enforcement – reported – 18 actual – 18 Crimes Against the Person Assaults – reported – 93 actual – 80 Crimes Against Property Theft under $5,000 – reported – 104 actual – 88 Crimes Against Property Theft over $5,000 – reported – 51 actual – 39 Crimes Against Property Mischief – reported – 126 actual – 110 Common Police Activities (suspicious person, lost and found, false alarm etc.)

– reported – 431 actual – 431 Assistance to General Public – reported – 332 actual – 332 JAN 1, 2020 – March 31, 2020 Traffic Offences – reported – 262 actual – 260 Other Criminal Code – reported – 29 actual – 27 Drug Enforcement – reported – 2 actual – 2 Crimes Against the Person Assaults – reported – 18 actual – 16 Crimes Against Property Theft under $5,000 – reported – 18 actual – 17 Crimes Against Property Theft over $5,000 – reported – 6 actual – 5 Crimes Against Property Mischief – reported – 21 actual – 21 Common Police Activities (suspicious person, lost and found, false alarm etc.)

– reported – 77 actual – 77 Assistance to General Public – reported – 38 actual – 37 Playgrounds Policy Administration has drafted a policy for Council's review and approval for the governance and operations of municipal owned play structures to help guide Administration as to how playgrounds are

operated in the Municipality. This policy outlines operational procedures, budgeting guidelines, growth management, along with purchasing guidelines to assist Administration on the governance of playgrounds. This will have a budgeting impact, as yearly dollar calculations depend on the year of the playground however this will ensure playgrounds stay current. After council received clarification on some of the budgeting impacts, Councillor Anctil made a motion that Council approves the policy. The motion was carried.

Forest Protection Area Update Issues surrounding the Forest Protection Area (FPA) are not new. They have been discussed several times over the years with little headway and primarily come to light when fire restrictions/bans are involved. The current FPA boundaries are from 1979 and do not account for any urban growth since that time, along with the community of Hillcrest being entirely within the FPA. Given that it has caused confusion in the past as to whether the fire status applies to one area and not another, the Municipality has adopted the practice of mirroring the FPA so that there is a homogeneous status throughout the community. This however is only a bandaid solution and this issue needs to be discussed further with the Province. Administration has been having discussion with staff from both the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on some of the issues and looking for possible solutions. These discussions have been going well and the Ministries are looking into what would be required to adjust the urban service area. Further discussions are planned over the coming weeks. With reviewing the three relevant pieces of legislation, they don't appear to contradict each other, however, they do seem to compete with each other and none of them seeming to have more weight or clarity. An example of this is that the FPPA defines a specialized municipality as an urban municipality and a ministerial order such as the current fire ban states within it that the order does not apply to any land within the serviced areas of an urban municipality. On the surface it appears that the ministerial order wouldn't apply, however the issue then becomes that the serviced area referenced was that in 1979 as per the Regulation.

This clause in the Regula-

tion looks like it may be the hangup as in other municipalities, when the jurisdictional boundaries change, the urban service area is adjusted accordingly. Another interesting point is how the FPPA is written in that a municipality is responsible for fighting and controlling all fires within their boundaries except for the parts that are within the FPA. Since the language says fire and not wildfire, this would mean that they are responsible for all types of fires such as structural, vehicle, grass, wildland, etc. This of course has not been the practice but is used more to outline that the current language does not work and that updates are needed. Council had a small discussion and Mayor Painter said it’s encouraging to see some progress being made by the province with this area as talks continue to find a solution. A motion was made to accept this for information and the motion was carried.

Resource Extraction Boundary Bylaw Update Administration has been discussing this item with our solicitors to determine the most appropriate mechanism to address resource development and they have advised that it is best addressed within our land use bylaw, to the extent which the municipality has jurisdiction to regulate this area. As we are currently also completing our legal review of the land use bylaw, this item will be included within it and will be provided shortly for consideration. A motion was made to accept this as information and the motion was carried.

Installation of Powerlines Bylaw Update Administration discussed this item with our solicitor, which included reviewing of the Fortis Franchise Agreement.

Under the franchise agreement, Fortis has the exclusive right to provide electrical distribution service including to construct, operate and maintain the system and to use portions of roads, right-of-way and land under Municipal control. In addition, Fortis is required to obtain Municipal approval for all work to construct or maintain the distribution system over $100,000. Lastly, there is a stipulation that the Municipality cannot insist on Fortis relocating or upgrading any overhead lines to underground service if there is a less expensive or more practical solution. If there is not a less expensive or more practical solution, then the Municipality and Fortis will meet to negotiate suitable arrangements.

With respect to new development or redevelopments, the most appropriate place to handle

this is within the Municipal Engineering and Development Standards, 2005. Typically the standards would outline the requirements for all shallow utility alignments, however the current standards do not speak to this. If this is to be included, Administration would recommend doing a full review of the Engineering and Development Standards to ensure they meet the current needs of the community. In addition, if this moves ahead, Administration will have discussions with Fortis to outline our intent and to get feedback on where underground installation may be impractical or cost prohibitive. After discussion on the topic, a motion was put forward by Mayor Painter that Council direct Administration to undertake an amendment to the Engineering and Development Standards for shallow utility alignments. A friendly amendment was then made by Councillor Ward that Administration bring this back for review for the budget process. The motion was carried.

Highway 3 Interim Improvements Update WSP Engineering was awarded the engineering for the Highway 3 Interim Improvements project on February 27, 2020 and the project kickoff meeting was held on March 9, 2020. A preliminary design report was received on April 9, 2020 and was subsequently reviewed by the Municipality and Alberta Transportation. The review identified that the design focused on the major approaches (Highway 3) and had not considered the minor approaches for future traffic requirements adequately. This feedback is being incorporated into the geometric design revisions and design is progressing into the traffic signal design. The current schedule has the design and tender documents complete for the two intersection in late July and the pathway and Frank improvements in early August. Construction is slated from September to mid-October. Initially, one main concern with the timing of this project was the anticipated work on Highway 1 in the Kicking Horse Canyon in BC and the desire to have the work completed by the end of June, 2020. This was an extremely aggressive schedule given that the funding agreement with the Province was not finalized until early 2020. The schedule was also impacted due to Covid and that design productivity was reduced due to WSP staff working remotely from their typical office environments with all review meetings having to be done virtually with the Municipality. The other impact to the initial sched-

ule did not anticipate the amount of geometric improvements for the minor approaches. The team continues to understand the importance of this project and is doing everything possible to deliver the project as soon as possible while also ensuring to meet the future needs of the community. Additionally, the Government of BC has provided an update on their project thought, in that the construction is not expected to impact the 2020 Summer traffic volumes as there will be no delays or closures affecting the daytime summer travel. At this time the project is slated to have a contract for construction awarded in late summer 2020. During the Summers of 2021 through 2024, the highway will remain fully open and free of interruptions during the daytime. During the Fall, Winter and Spring, there could be daytime stoppages from 20 minutes to 2 hours and overnight closures of up to 10 hours.

Council had asked for this update in a previous council meeting. After hearing the update, Councillor Anctil made a motion that this be accepted for information. That motion was carried.

MDP Survey Update As part of the MDP process, a survey will be put out to the community to gather feedback on where residents would like to see the community develop.

The delivery method for the survey has been discussed over the last few weeks and at the last MDP Steering Committee weekly update, the following method was put forth: A one page letter will be sent to each home owner advising them of the upcoming survey that will be released online and what it is for. The letter will also include that if anyone is not able to complete an online survey, to contact the Municipal office and arrangements will be made to deliver a paper copy. For those signed up for electronic billing, the letter will be sent electronically. Once released online, the survey will be open for 4 weeks The survey information will be communicated on Facebook, the Pass Herald and Real Country. Council requested that an effort will be made to get the survey into every home. Councillor Glavin made a motion that Council accept this as information and the motion was carried.

Minimum build size The Development department is compiling a list of proposed small amendments to bring them back to Council as one Land Use Bylaw Amendment. The recommendation letter from MPC could be included with the list of proposed corrections and

minor amendments. MPC recognized that the current Land Use Bylaw does not stipulate a minimum floor area for a primary residence in the R-1 Land Use District when considering development permit applications. The Municipal Planning Commission has submitted this recommendation to correct the oversight in the existing Land Use Bylaw. Councillor Filipuzzi made a motion that Council Task Administration with looking at the proposed amendment to establish a minimum floor area for R-1 Land Use district in the municipality’s Land use bylaw. The motion was carried.

Municipal Flag Inquiry Local CCHS student Ethan Chambers, made an inquiry to Council regarding the Municipal flag as to whether it had ever been adopted officially after the rebranding process was completed in 2013. It appears that the new logo which was developed as part of the Municipal Rebranding was applied to a white background and was used as the Municipal flag.

Chambers made the inquiry after becoming interested in the study of flags, or Vexillology through his love of history.

“I've been interested in history for a long time and just by learning about history, you get exposed to a lot more flags than a person usually would. Just by seeing them it naturally progressed from there.”

Chambers decided to approach council because he was unsure if the municipality had an official flag.

“Part of it was out of curiosity because I didn't know if we had an official flag. I thought it was something that I could do that someone else maybe wouldn't take the time to do.”

After some discussion, council decided to not pursue a new flag as they felt the rebrand that was completed in 2013 encapsulates everything they currently want.

Blairmore Train Discussion Council has had some discussion in the past on the Blairmore Train (Old Maude) that sits across from the Blairmore Post Office on 20th Avenue.

Decades ago, the train was given to the Municipality and currently sits partially on land leased to the Municipality and CPR rightof-way.

Very little maintenance has been done to the train or the accompanying statue in some time.

Council didn’t make a motion on this topic but did have a discussion where all council members agreed that they would like to see the train and miner fixed up. You can see a photo of the miner in this week’s issue that shows some of the work needing to be done.

Lower T-bar lift extension approved by council a go Katherine SeleSKi Pass Powederkeg Ski Area

Pass Powderkeg Ski Area, located in Crowsnest Pass, is excited to announce the extension of the Lower T-Bar lift. This extension will allow guests the opportunity to ski or ride from a new off-load area approximately 50-80m above the current off-load, improving the skiing and riding experience. The t-bar, originally installed in 1980, replaced a homemade ropetow constructed in the early 1950 s.

Work to add the additional tower and length has begun with major construction to take place in August.

This project will see an additional tower built to span the new length, a haul rope extension and extra spring

boxes added.

“The extension of the Lower T-bar marks a major step to improve the ski and ride-ability of Pass Powderkeg Ski Area, and has been a long suggested project.

I look forward to welcoming our guests back with this “new” lift!” said Katherine Seleski, Manager of Pass Powderkeg Ski Area.

“Her eyes stole my heart, her smile gave me life, her presence made me high, her touch left me breathless.” - Perry

Looking Back

Sometimes it seems like only yesterday, but it is, in fact, 48 years since my life was forever changed by a casual glance. A magical, profoundly honest and innocent glance that swept my way from across the room at, of all places, the Highlander Bar in Calgary.

I’ll preface this encounter by telling you how I wound up there at that definitive moment in time. It was early July of 1972 and I was on the run, so to speak. I had been working at Coleman Collieries for 15 months straight as a surveyor helper and draftsman for my father. I was well aware that it was about to come around to the first anniversary of the abrupt and painful death of my beloved older brother Alex in a motorcycle crash in Bellevue and I knew that my parents would be greatly affected by this turning point.

So I took off, on a lost boy sojourn, to escape the heartache and pain of losing my best friend and to steer clear of my parents resurfacing grief. I took a greyhound bus to Calgary, flew up to Edmonton and got a room at the plush MacDonald Hotel where I ordered a big steak dinner in their fancy restaurant. While there I realized that I was sort of lost and going nowhere so I flew back to Calgary and called up my old college buddies to meet me at the Highlander, our favourite college watering hole.

It was there, on that Friday night, that I glanced across the vast extent of that bar and beheld a woman walking back to the table where her friends and sisters were seated. It is hard to describe that moment when our eyes met, as many may never experience such a profound singular encounter. There was something magical and arresting about her. An aura that emanated from her very being that was all-encompassing, at least to me. Instinctively I knew that this woman, named Lorraine, and I were meant to be together. I was as sure of that fact as I was of anything in my life. I walked up to her table and gave her a yellow rose and the die was cast.

To illustrate just how profoundly I was affected by this brown-eyed, red-haired angel, I should tell you that I returned home to my job after that Stampede weekend encounter and a few days later was informed that Norcen Energy, the then owners of Coleman Collieries, had determined that their recent venture into the coal business was not going well and that there would be layoffs. I was told I was to be let go.

Not two weeks later, management called me in to inform me that they had reassessed my position and observed that I had made such an important difference to the engineering department that they had reconsidered and wanted me to stay. I thought for only a second about it and then said: “You can’t do this to someone, dismiss them and then change your mind.”

To explain how strong my realization was that I wanted to be with Lorraine, consider this. I had just had a $7000 loan approved to purchase a brand new trailer which I intended to locate up on the hill where I grew up, with a view unlike any other.

I could have very easily stayed and continued on with my life here in the Pass but instead I followed my overwhelming gut feeling and left for Calgary. At the time Lorraine was herself in flux, having left her abusive husband in Germany after fifteen years of attempting to work around the abuse. When we met she was trying to restart her life back in Calgary with her two daughters Kelly Ann and Tracy Ann, aged 10 and 14. Lorraine must have also recognized that we were meant to be and after consulting with her daughters invited me to stay with them so I could look for work.

Years later Lorraine shared with me a dream she had had about a tall, dark handsome man who was going to come into her life someday. A sort of Prince who would come to rescue her. Despite my present grayed appearance, I was at one time, dark haired. I am still tall but I will leave the handsome part to you the reader to yay or nay. There was never a doubt, never a moment of uncertainty, as to our journey together. We worked hard, played hard and lived life to its fullest.

Lorraine’s background was Air Force and her father served in Burma during the Second World War. After the war she, along with her three siblings, got to see Canada from one end of the other at bases like Fort Nelson, British Columbia, Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Gimli, Manitoba, and Greenwood, Nova Scotia. She spent time in, of all places, Biloxi, Mississippi, where at the age of 16 she worked as a soda jerk in the Gulfwater Edge Hotel. She came across the worst of racism there and it should be no surprise to hear that she stood up to it in her own special way, serving cold drinks in the sweltering heat to the black kitchen staff, despite the owners stern warnings. She told me she said to the owner: “We don’t treat people like that in Canada!”

Another bit of serendipity with regard to Lorraine and I is the fact that our grandparents, on our mother’s side, were both homesteading at the same time near the small Saskatchewan town of Cabri, in 1918, when the Spanish flu hit. Lorraine’s grandfather died from the flu and my grandmother, Katie Agnes MacInnis, survived it and went on to live to almost 104 years of age. Lorraine told me that her grandmother lay in bed holding her mother, who was then 3 months old, alongside her dead grandfather for three days before help came. We didn’t discover this connective fact until many years later and it merely reinforced our belief that our paths were destined to cross.

Lorraine and I spent 8 years in Calgary and then moved to Fernie, BC in 1980, where we spent the next 25 years before moving to the Pass in 2005. It was here I found the home of her dreams. In Fernie, as I worked at Line Creek Mine, Lorraine took on different jobs, on and off, until she settled into being a home-based dog groomer. It all started with a call about a skunked Sheltie dog that she cleaned up and word spread from there about her animal talents. It’s hard to describe what it was like for her to receive as many as three dogs a day for grooming. Often the dogs had overgrown nails, terribly plaqued teeth and heavily matted hair requiring hours and hours of prep work that went into just bringing the dog to a bathable stage.

She did this with such patience and care that dogs, who did not know her and were terrified, were sent home feeling much better and looking their very best. You can’t imagine what it is like to single-handedly handle a dog who doesn’t know you. Brushing out sometimes terrible mats, trimming nails, and then bathing and drying a trembling animal was very taxing.

Often she did three a day, usually at around three hours a dog. In the end carpel tunnel in her wrists from all that dog handling ended her grooming career but she is still remembered in Fernie as the magician who transformed peoples’ dogs back into their very best.

Throughout our Fernie years Lorraine and I raised and said goodbye to literally dozens of animals. There were two Siamese cats named Chin and Chan, a bullmastiff named Max that I wrote about in 2019, a Bichon Frise, a Ragdoll cat and then a retired tortie lynx-point Balinese show cat named Coquette. Coquette was given to us when she was eight years old and, unbeknownst to us and the original owner, was pregnant. What followed were three kittens, a lynx point, a red point and a seal point. That’s what the recessive Siamese gene can do sometimes. What a riot they were growing up.

Author’s Note: Part two of the story of the love of my life will be unfolded soon. As you can imagine it is my toughest assignment ever and I hope you the readers find this window into Lorraine’s world a worthwhile read. There is so much more to her story.

I have noted that the covid crisis has caused a disconnect in the grieving and acknowledgement process so important in remembering loved ones that have passed. So I am offering, on behalf of the paper, to use my column to tell the life story of your family member who has departed. You can engage me with photos and stories and I will help you share their important legacy.

Patricia Dawn Green 1968 ~ 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Green (Rowe), who died peacefully at the CNP Health Centre on the evening of June 8, 2020 at the tender age of 52 years.

Patricia was born on February 28, 1968 in Winnipeg, MB. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Brandon, MB where she would grow up and find a love of cooking and gardening and discover her tremendous artistic nature. In 1983, she met Lance Green and had two wonderful children. She later met a very special man, Frank Green, who became her loving husband of 24 years. Together they would have two daughters who completed their little family. After a brief stay in Coaldale, AB, they settled in Hillcrest, AB, and immediately integrated themselves into the community.

Patricia and her family enjoyed many prosperous years in the Crowsnest Pass and she and Frank would purchase the Bellevue Inn in 2015. It was here where Patricia’s bubbly personality would flourish and make innumerable lifelong friends with her patrons.

In August of 2019, Patricia was diagnosed with glioblastoma, stage 4 brain cancer. Despite this terrible disease slowly taking away her cognitive and physical abilities, Patricia never stopped showing her love and appreciation to her family and friends. She was our inspiration and demonstrated incredible courage and tenacity. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Patricia was pre-deceased by her father Barry McCoy and father-in-law, Eldin Green.

She is survived by her husband, Frank; children: Justin (Kathy), Natashia (Shawn) of Brandon, Tia (Jeff) of Lethbridge, Kimberly of Airdrie; grandchildren: Aurora, Adrian and Arianna; sisters: Tarrah Wentzell of Brandon and Christine McCoy (Neil) of Airdrie; mother-in-law, Pat Simpson of Cranbrook; and her Baba Jean Ewanyshyn of Brandon; as well as numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces, Nephews, her four precious feline friends: Nutmeg, Marble, Twilight and Ebony; and her mother.

Although a private family service will be held, all are welcome to attend the public Celebration of Life that will be held at Patricia and Frank’s home (22601-7 Ave) in Hillcrest at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 14, 2020.

The family would like to sincerely thank her care providers from the Chinook Regional Hospital, Foothills Medical Centre, Tom Baker Cancer Centre, Crowsnest Pass Health Centre and our local homecare team.

Memorial donations in memory of Patricia can be made to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre (1331-29 Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Obituary

DANIEL MACDONALD 1943 ~ 2020

Mr. Daniel James MacDonald, beloved husband of Lillian MacDonald of Blairmore, Alberta, passed away at the Crowsnest Pass Health Centre on June 9, 2020 with his devoted family by his side.

Dan was born on June 2, 1943 in Cadomin, Alberta to loving parents, Mamie & Hector MacDonald. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of eighteen years and served our country for a decade. Upon completion of his certification as a technician for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, he gained employment in the Calgary area for many years. He then went to work in Edmonton as a Drill Collar labourer but this was for only a brief period due to a tragic accident in 1980 that claimed his sister Bonnie’s life and left Dan severely burned and broken not only in body but in spirit. Dan moved to the Crowsnest Pass where he found work with Atlas Lumber and later with R&R Lumber.

In 1989, Dan found the true love of his life, Lillian, and was blessed with a ready-made family who welcomed him with open hearts. He loved being a Dad and a Grandpa! He was devoted to his family and worked hard to provide for their needs. He obtained his Boiler’s Ticket and was granted employment with the Crowsnest Pass high school as Head Custodian until his well-earned retirement at the age of sixty.

Dan and Lil were so proud of their lovely home and immaculate yard. They tackled everything together and shared time well spent fishing, hunting, golfing, curling and socializing in the Coleman Legion where he was a member for the past 38 years. Dan excelled in whatever he set his mind to and this included playing pool; he won a championship pool tournament in Calgary at the No. 1 Legion competing against the whole city. He certainly lived up to his reputation of being and all around good guy and a fine gentleman. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.

Left to mourn his passing include his family: his devoted wife, Lillian May MacDonald of Blairmore, AB; his daughter, Cheryl (Bruce) Cherniak; his grandchildren, Amanda, Danielle (Pete) and Katelyn; his great grandchildren, Ava, Kylie and Brooklyn; his sister, Kathy (Dick) Koentges of Blairmore; his in-laws, Cam and Bob Sanelli and Heather MacDonald of Ontario; his nephew, Jamie (Lorena) Dambois of San Diego; his aunt Kathleen Ross of Saskatoon; as well as many extended family and friends - especially, Rick (Sue) Koentges, Lane, Bryan and Jared.

He was predeceased by his parents, Mamie and Hector MacDonald; his sister, Bonnie Dambois and brother-in-law, Dave MacDonald.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date during safer times. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca. Donations may be directed towards the Royal Canadian Legions’ Poppy Fund, PO Box 448, Coleman, AB T0K 0M0.

Obituary

EDWIN NEIL WEYMOUTH July 20, 1934 ~ May 27, 2020

With great sadness we announce that Ed Weymouth passed away in the arms of his beloved wife, Carolyn on May 27, 2020 at their home in Coleman, AB after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. He was 85 years of age.

Ed was born in Athabasca, AB on July 20, 1934 to parents Donly and Marie Weymouth. Following twenty-six years in the Canadian Forces, he had a career as a correctional officer and was devoted to Jehovah.

Ed was an active individual who enjoyed fishing, playing horseshoes, bowling and constructing large 3-D puzzles – one of the largest being 4 feet high. He was also very involved with horses; breeding and training them, as well as pleasure riding. As an expert golfer, Ed received many awards over the years: gold in 1976 & 1977 at the Prairie Region Games, silver in 1990 at the International Law Enforcement Games, and gold in 1999 at the Alberta Seniors Games. His skill as a baseball player was recognized in 2012 when he was inducted into the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame along with his teammates from the 1964-1969 Rivers Comets. In addition to these honours, he collected many military and law enforcement trophies and accolades. To further add to his vast portfolio of talents, Ed was renowned for his wine making and was a celebrity at Crowsnest Pass area farmers market where he was known as “The Jam Man” as result of his delicious homemade jams and jellies. He was also a self-taught fiddler and provided his family with much entertainment. While Ed awaits the resurrection, he will be remembered with love and respect for a life well lived.

He leaves behind his wife, Carolyn; his daughter, Sharon Weymouth of Edmonton, AB; his sons, Edwin (Barbara) Weymouth of Edmonton, AB and Don (Pat) Weymouth of Gunn, AB; his step-sons, Jon (Kim) Thorsteinsson of Winnipeg, MB and David (Dianna) Potter of Onoway, AB; his grandchildren, Sara, Lisa, Cris and Hannah; his step-grandchildren, Calder, Blair and Rhianna; his great grandchildren, India and Arlo; his sister, Betty Brewster of Spruce Grove, AB; his brother, Don Weymouth of Edmonton, AB; his step-sister, Carole Hawryluk of Chilliwack, BC; his step-brothers, Bill (Rita) Grove of Athabasca, AB and Ron Weymouth of Edmonton, AB; as well as his extended family and many friends.

He was predeceased by his first wife, Denise Tougas; his mother, Marie; his father, Donly; his infant twin sons; his brothers, Gorden, Harry, Abe and Rob; his sister, Lorraine Kolasa; and his step-sisters, Lilyann Leschuk and Glory Ballam.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses (14929 – 20 Ave., Frank, AB) at a later date. Memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Frank Congregation (PO Box 1015, Coleman, AB T0K 0M0), or by the MS Society of Canada (www.mssociety.ca). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Gel Douche

David Selles photos

Filmmaker and actor Jason Steelman is creating a short film called Gel Douche and part of that film is shot right here in the Crowsnest Pass. Steelman and his team spent Sunday May 24th, shooting at the Blairmore IDA. Gel Douche is a Romantic Comedy that tells the story of a man who has met a women online and asks him to meet her for dinner at a restaurant. Once he begins to get ready, including a shower, he realizes he's out of body wash and decides to run to the local store to buy some, while only wearing his bathrobe and shower cap. Steelman says the idea for this film came to him suddenly.

"The idea literally came to me as I was standing in the shower and I took the moment to read the label on the shower gel and when I saw gel douche I thought it was kind of funny and then I built the story around that."

Steelman says that's how he usually writes his stories.

"That's typically how I write. Something I hear or something I see triggers something and then I let it explode from there."

Steelman has some other films he's done in the past and two of his others received distribution deals.

Steelman says his plans with Gel Douche are to take the film to domestic film festivals and he doesn't plan on taking this film worldwide like he's done previously.

Instead, Steelman plans to provide locals with the chance to watch the film.

"This one I might just let out because I think it's just going to be fun and that's what it's all about, especially right now."
