Safety issues a concern for mining company By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Riversdale Re-sources said the number of OHV riders, particularly motorcycles and dirt bikes, riding in the Grassy Mountain area has become a huge safety concern for the company. Now that drill-ing rigs, earth mov-ing equipment and other activities are underway at the site, people riding OHV’s in the area are an accident waiting to happen. There have been a number of close calls, said Opera-tions Manager Pe-ter Murray, between trucks and OHVs along the narrow, winding roads snak-ing through the mountain. The majority of the mining explora-tion site is privately owned by Riversdale who have strategi-cally posted signs and put up gates. Motorcycle rid-ers are ignoring the signs or barreling through the gates without care or con-cern for the conse-quences, said Mur-ray. “Safety is one of our biggest con-cerns,” he said. At a recent coun-cil meeting, Mur-ray and Community

Liaison Keith Bott, encouraged riders to go elsewhere, and asked the communi-ty to cooperate. Carmellia (Cooki) Saretzky, President of the Crowsnest Pass Quad Squad said she’s very sorry people are doing this and hopes that it’s not their mem-bers. “We apologize and hope that it’s not any of our mem-bers,” she said.Unfortunately, she added, these types of riders give their organization a bad name. “Most of our members are ma-ture, family-orient-ed riders and we try to educate people so they follow the rules. We encourage these people to join the Quad Squad and learn the rules.” Saretzky said when they have organized group rides, the Quad Squad always get permission from property owners if riding on private land. “We understand Riversdale is just doing their job,” said Saretzky. She added that the Quad Squad will post a notice on their website and their Facebook page advising OHV riders to stay away from Riversdale property.

Crowsnest Pass Boys & Girls Club donned their rain gear and headed over to Blairmore’s Skills Park for their regular bike day. Here, Executive Program Director Nicole Pearse warns one of the younger riders to use a less-difficult jump in the wetter weather.


Riversdale Resources has signs posted throughout the Grassy Moun-tain site, but some off-highway vehicle users are still riding on the property posing a safety concern for the company.


Off-highway vehicles, especially dirt bikes and motorcycles, are riding through creek beds, damaging fish habitat on Riversdale Resources’ private property. The Crowsnest Pass Quad Squad encourages riders to join their organization and learn the rules.

Hemp

Hemp is a rich source of essential fats (Omega 3 and 6) and amino acids (building blocks of protein) that must be obtained by the diet. Hemp is a valuable source of vegetable protein as it contains all essential amino acids, especially a few rare ones, and it provides them in an easily digestible form. In addition, it contains vitamin E, minerals and lecithin. Hemp seeds can be ground into a seed butter containing protein, oil, minerals, vitamins and fiber, which is far superior to peanut butter and does not contain aflatoxins, the only downside is a shorter shelf life. Hemp seeds contain 3% soluble and 27% insoluble fiber. The seeds are green, rich in chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, sulfur and others. You can use hemp oil in baking and light sautéing (not frying), and the seeds are great in smoothies or as a topper on yogurt, salads, soups, breads and even cake!

Backcountry trailrehabilitation underway By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Last spring, the province set aside $10 million to repair backcountry trails damaged by the flood event of June 2013. At the time, Alberta En-vironment & S u s t a i n a b l e Resource De-v e l o p m e n t (ESRD) offi-cials said the province real-ized there have been significant impacts, both e c o n o m i c a l ly and socially, on c o m m u n i t i e s who rely on rec-reational trails. Backcoun-try Trail Flood R e h a b i l i t a -tion Lead, An-dun Jevne, said flood damage has reduced the ability of users to access and utilize back-country trails and increased the hazards. “Restora-tion of these trail systems are seen as very important to the economic, environmental and social ben-efits of the regions, the public lands along the Eastern Slopes,” Jevne told council in April. “Restoring these is an important part of the recovery from the flood event.” The goal of the $10M commitment is to restore and repair backcountry trails on public lands from Rocky Mountain House south to the Wa-terton Park boundary. The program is collaborative, said Jevne, and will be done in partner-ship - both the planning and imple-mentation phases - with user groups such as the Crowsnest Pass Quad Squad. “The objective of the program is to restore trails and infrastructure on designated and existing recog-nized trail systems in Public Land Use Zones. The trails need to fit that description as well as being flood damaged in order for us to include them in our program,” said Jevne. “We look to user groups to pro-vide us with areas of concern to pri-oritize the assessment of trails this season as well as what trails are a priority for them to have fixed. This information is entered into our proj-ect selection criteria in order to help prioritize projects across the entire program area.” A recreational stewardship coor-dinator (RSC) was hired about a month ago, said Jevne, who will be responsible for the south program area, which consists of the Crows-nest Pass, Castle, Livingstone and

Porcupine areas. Heather Davis is working out of the Blairmore ESRD office in a two-year project position to work with volunteers and the community, added Jevne.

“She’s involved with connecting with a lot of user groups and spend-ing time understanding what their priorities are in terms of infrastruc-ture and trail rehabilitation in the areas of the trails that they use,” he said. An inventory crew has been work-ing throughout the summer assess-ing damage on trails that need to be restored. They’ve finished in the Castle area and will now move into the Living-stone area, he said. “That is the big goal of this first field season,” said Jevne. “To make sure we go out and assess all the damage that is out there in order to pull that all into our scoring system and prioritize work across our en-tire program area.” “We know that with the money that we have, it can’t fix every trail that we have across the entire East-ern Slopes,” said Jevne. “So the idea with this assessment is to give us our best chance of properly prioritizing these projects so we hit all the high priority ones over the next couple of field seasons.” The RSC will augment assessment work with information from the user groups who have been providing di-rection of some the bigger problem areas for crews to look at first. “If there is an opportunity for quick fixes, or especially if there are sections that are very unsafe, we can get some signage up and possibly close off sections of trail, if need-

ed,” said Jevne. Inventory crews will work through the fall, he said, so everything will be assessed by the end of this field season. “The thought is we can have our

big plan-ning session over this winter so that we’re ready to go with proj-ects to start work next s p r i n g , ” said Jevne. However, a construc-tion crew has been working on projects in the Castle as well as a Junior For-est Ranger crew install some drain-age features and trail work in the A l l i s o n -C h i n o o k area. “Part of H e a t h e r ’s job moving forward is pulling in user groups and volun-teers so that we can get out to a lot

more of the trails than our budget would allow by tapping in to some of these volunteer groups and user groups that have been in the past providing so much time and ef-fort into keeping these trails main-tained,” said Jevne. “One of our mandates of the program is to do our best to leave a more sustainable solution when we’re going in and putting money into some of these trail systems,” he added. They are also in the process of get-ting contractors lined up so they can begin some construction work this fall and into next year, he added. Jevne admitted that the last two years have seen significant rain events and that when they look at trail rehabilitation, they put in in-frastructure and make repairs that takes that into consideration. “For the most part, what we are putting in are single stand bridg-es that are above the high water line that are going to have the best chance of not being blown out by the next big water event... or look-ing at a reroute so instead of fixing a trail that runs adjacent to the creek, we move it higher up in a place that it’s a lot less likely to be affected by the next flood,” he said. “But that being said, if we have a one in 100 or greater event, it’s dif-ficult to build infrastructure to that level.” The program is scheduled to be complete in March 2017.

The Alberta government is investing $10 million to repair trails on public land damaged in the 2013 spring flood. In partnership with local user groups such as the Crowsnest Pass Quad Squad, inventories are being taken to assess damage and prioritize rehabilitation.

Here we go again. Readers of my editorials may recall in June, I joined the growing chorus of Canadians calling for a public inquiry into the large number of murdered and missing aboriginal women. This was after a horrific attack on a 47-year-old First Nations woman left her dead in a Saskatch-ewan parking lot. Now the body count has risen again after 15-year-old Tina Fontaine’s body was pulled from the mud-dy waters of Winnipeg’s Red River. In the last 30 years, 1,181 Canadian aboriginal women have been killed or disappeared, according to the RCMP. That’s 1,181 mothers, wives, sisters, nieces, cousins and friends. Aboriginals make up a mere four per cent of the population but 16 per cent of the female murder victims and 12 per cent of the missing women. That so many First Nations people live a life of despair in one of the happiest and wealthiest places on Earth is not news to anyone. But this government’s repeated refusal to look beyond the rap sheet suspends disbelief. Stephen Harper insists this epidemic of murdered and missing women is not a “sociological phenom-enon”, but only that they are individual crimes. Of course, they are crimes, but they are not only crimes. To want to dig deeper, to know why things like this are happening, month after month, does not diminish criminal responsibility. Will a public inquiry lead to a magic pill that cures 100-plus years of social injustice? Of course not. But it just might reveal unseen factual evi-dence that proves what we have here is very much a “sociological phenomenon”. In other words historical resonances, deep-root-ed prejudices and systemic failures that swallow up a culture whole. I’d like to know why it’s happening so we can do something about it. I’d like to turn over the cover on the deep dark secret that is our historical and cultural relationship with First Nations people and expose it to the light of day. The United Nations would like to know too, so would Human Rights Watch, the premiers of all the provinces, and not least of all, the dead wom-en’s families and friends. The only people who seem not to want to know are the people running the country.

Rum Runner Days remains deferred

By Joni MacFarlane

Editor

Council voted to defer Rum Runner Days to

2015 to allow time to plan and recruit volunteers

to organize the event.

On Feb. 18, Sheldon Steinke, chief administra-

tive officer, advised council that last year’s Chair-

person was out of the country for the next four

months and it was getting late to begin planning

anything for this summer.

He recommended that deferring the event would

allow administration time to “research options,

implications and budget for a 2015 event to po-

tentially include Thunder in the Valley and Rum

Runner Days”.

There is a total of $40,000 identified in the 2014

triennial budget for the event.

“It’s almost too late in the day to start planning

a Rum Runners event… I think if we defer it for a

year, we could have better planning in place,” said

Councillor Shar Lazzarotto.

Mayor Blair Painter said he’d like to see the mu-

nicipality start to canvass for volunteers as soon

as possible. Councillor Lazzarotto disagreed. She said she

believes it will be difficult to get volunteers over

the next few months because of the upcoming

events that rely on volunteers such as the Bunny

Bonspiel, the Chamber of Commerce Lifestyle &

Outdoor Adventure Show, Kananaskis Pro Ro-

deo, and the Hillcrest Mine Disaster 100th An-

niversary. “You’re going to have volunteer burnout,” she

said. Councillor Marlene Anctil also pointed out that

with the Crowsnest Pass Show & Shine moving to

another weekend and the Taste of Crowsnest not

happening, “it doesn’t leave much in between”.

It was agreed to defer Rum Runner Days and

start working towards 2015 by advertising for vol-

unteers at the end of July.

go-ahead to begin the lengthy process towards a municipal historic resource designation. The Blake/Burgman

residence is a Crafts-man-influenced house with considerable his-torical significance, De-velopment Officer Ken

Bourdeau, told council on Aug. 12. The one-and-a-half storey 1940s-era resi-dence has a medium-gable roof that carries a gabled dormer above an enclosed verandah across the front. It features arched veran-dah windows, corner quoins, and key courses over the verandah win-dows. The house is located on a grassed corner lot north of the commer-cial downtown. The property was identified by the Mu-nicipal Heritage Board (MHB) and in a recent Heritage Inventory. Bourdeau said the primary reason that the MHB and consul-tants believe it to be an important historic building is because of its association with the residential development

of Blairmore, with West Canadian Collier-ies, with other property owners such as Henry Blake and Robert and Jean Burgman, and its architectural design and construction. Council passed a reso-lution to give the own-ers a notification of in-tention to designate. The designation pro-cess may now proceed and once approved, the owners may apply for grant funding from the province to assist in res-toration. Costs associated with applications for mu-nicipal historic resource designation are typi-cally $400 to $500, said Bourdeau, and have been paid for by the municipality. These fees will be in-cluded as part of a fu-ture review of the land use bylaw, he added.

This Blairmore house was built in the 1940s and carries many his-torical influences. The owners have applied for a municipal historic resource designation.


CAO reports to council By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Sheldon Steinke, Chief Administrative Officer, pre-sented a brief update to council on Aug. 12 on some of the major issues adminis-tration is working on. On the Operations side, Steinke reported crews are pouring concrete curb and gutters, but due to limited manpower and a shortage of time, crews will be stop-ping soon to work on pre-paratory projects prior to winter. Removal of the broken concrete at the Crowsnest Centre is underway, Steinke said. It will be hauled to Passburg and a crusher will be brought in. The issue has been compli-cated because someone has broken in to the Crowsnest Centre site and dumped broken asphalt that now

has to be hauled away, he added.Dust suppression was com-pleted in late July and the program will be reviewed prior to budget discussions for next year. In the Finance depart-ment, administration is fol-lowing up with the strategic planning consultant. Stein-ke said they will be looking for direction from council before preparing docu-ments for budget planning purposes that will address issues identified in the stra-tegic planning. Administration is also working on a presentation concerning municipal re-serves, he said. The municipality has met with the Workers Compen-sation Board to review the municipality’s status and to discuss direction for the fu-ture, Steinke said. “The issue is our premium

that the municipality is pay-ing,” he said. The industry average for municipalities is about $53,000, and the Crows-nest Pass is paying $87,000. Among other issues, it’s be-cause of claims they’ve had and the process of getting people back to work when they’re injured, said Steinke. WCB was happy to see a Health & Safety officer has now been hired and a num-ber of meetings with staff on safety issues are planned for the fall. A request for proposals for IT support services has been sent out with a closing date of Aug. 22. A proposal to change IT support from in-house to an external company will come before council in the near future, said Steinke. In the Community Servic-es department, the Ski Hill master plan and recreation

feasibility request for audit costing is ongoing, he said. On the Protective Services side, a reshuffle of vehicles has taken place including repatriation of the second Community Peace Officer truck now used by the Op-erations Manager. His truck was given to the Agricultur-al Services department. The electronic sign is do-ing a traffic count of ve-hicles on Highway 3 from Thursday noon through Monday noon in both di-rections. “The objective here is, by the end of August, to collate our traffic count for each of those weekends and prepare a document that council can use in any future meet-ings with Alberta Transpor-tation,” said Steinke. He said a meeting has been booked with Alberta Transportation and mem-bers of council at the up-

coming AUMA convention in September. Alberta Transportation will be doing site surveys of sidewalks and crosswalks in the Pass to see if warn-ing systems are warranted, Steinke added, and traffic and crosswalk counts have been requested for when school starts.

Circus thrills and chills Crowsnest Pass

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Juggling, magic, fire perfor-mance and science tricks were all part of the spectacle under the big top last weekend. Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities came to town bringing with it a chance for

Crowsnest Pass to see a circus in the old-school tradition of a by-gone era. As a magician who’s been touring for about 15 years throughout the world, Ring-master Allister Denton said the concept of a touring show began about two-and-a-half years ago.

It took another two years to put the show into reality with the first tour starting March 31, 2014. Allister, who practic-es stage illusion, par-lour and other magic, said he and his assis-tant at the time came up with the idea of a performance carnival so they could do more magic shows and give the audience a chance to experience a wider variety of performers. Dr. Von Houligan’s performance carnival has six performers in-cluding a contortion-ist, a fire-eater, a sci-ence guru, a juggler, a magician and an as-sistant. Recruiting people is as easy as finding people who’ve always wanted to run away with the circus, Allis-ter said, and then de-veloping their talents. “We ran into a girl in Target. She com-plimented me on my

clothes, I complimented her on her hair... The next day she was with us,” he said. “Those are the kind of people who love this kind of lifestyle.” Now in it’s 20th week, Dr. Von Houligan’s Carni-val of Calamities has played throughout Alberta, Saskatch-ewan and Manitoba, doing an

average of five shows a week. “I’d like to do more shows,” he said. “Peo-ple love the show.”Allister said circuses mostly go to urban areas so he wanted to visit small towns where people don’t get a chance to see such performances. He also wanted to model the show after old-time carnivals of the 1920s and ‘30s. Hence the name - Dr. Von Houligan’s Carni-val of Calamities - and the colourful tent with inside seating. “We wanted to have that old-school feel when you walk into the tent,” he said. “It’s part of the inspiration of it.” In the early show, there was a humour-ous opening with fire performing, magic, juggling, and a mad scientist. In the later show, he said, there were a few extras.

Circus delights audiences

From page 6...

“When you come to the regular [early] show, it’s like watch-ing Snow White & the Seven Dwarves with your kids. You come to the late show, it’s like watching Snow White & the Hunts-man. It’s not designed for kids... The visuals are different, the hu-mour is different and there’s a side show with people who do crazy stuff,” said Al-lister. “[The show] is most-ly built up around entertaining the audi-ence, not just showing the audience some-thing amazing,” he explained. “It’s the interaction between the audience and the people on stage; that’s where the en-tertainment comes from [and] that’s what makes live entertain-ment so much better.” Allister said he likes to structure his show but allow for interac-tion with the audience. “Every town we go to, there’s a differ-ent mentality and the show changes a little bit due to whatever the

audience is like and how interactive they are,” he said. “What’s great is regardless of what-ever town you go to... there’s someone in the audience and they say something that’s so priceless. It entertains me more than every-one in the audience is going to be enter-tained and it’s truly amazing.” Asked what his dreams were for the future, Allister summed it up. “I’m living it,” he said.

Scenes from Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities included (top left) Poy, the Polynesian art of fire dancing; (top right) animal balloons; and (bottom) Meaghan Brands was plucked from the audience to assist Ringmaster and Magician Allister Denton with a series of progressively difficult juggling acts.

Pass woman receivesnursing grant

Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation Submitted

Raising two kids while working as a licensed practical nurse would be enough on the plate for most peo-ple, but not for Heather Waldner. The Coleman resident is an LPN at Crowsnest Pass Health Centre and dreams of someday becoming a nurse practitioner. That dream came one step closer to fruition re-cently thanks to a grant from the Dixie Weber Memorial Staff Edu-cation Bursary. “It’s going to take a long time to achieve, but my husband and I have it planned out,” Heather explained. “Over the next four years I’ll get my RN degree (registered nurse) while continuing to work, then two years for a master’s degree that will lead to becoming a nurse practitioner af-ter two more years.” Heather received a $900 grant from the local bursary, which was set up by the family of Dixie We-ber to assist staff at Crowsnest Pass Health Centre who wish to enhance their skills and knowledge while continuing to work. “That might not sound like a lot of money to some people, but to me it paid for an entire course, so it’s huge,” Heather said. “I’m get-ting my first degree on-line through Athabasca University because that works best for me and my family.” The Waldners have two young daughters, ages two and three. “They keep us both pretty busy, that’s for sure,” said Heather, “but because the course is on-line I can study and work on my degree after

the girls go to bed for the night.” Nurse practitioners at Alberta Health Services work in a variety of settings including hospitals, com-munity health centres, continuing care facilities, clinics, urgent care centres and within client homes. Nurse practitioners provide ex-pert clinical care and work with a high degree of independence. Nurse practitioners play an important role and work in collaboration with oth-er members of the health care team including physicians, nurses, thera-pists, technologists, administrative staff and managers. “It’s important to set goals in life and being a nurse practitioner is mine,” Heather said. “I really ap-preciate the Dixie Weber Memo-rial Staff Education Bursary be-ing there to help me and others in Crowsnest Pass.” Full-time and part-time em-ployees of Crowsnest Pass Health Centre are eligible to apply for funding, including Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Care Attendants, Labora-tory, Medical Imaging, Respiratory, Recreation Therapists and EMS. Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation stewards the bursary and grants are awarded twice each year, in the spring and fall. The Foundation also accepts gifts in support of the Dixie Weber Me-morial Staff Education Bursary. Donations directed to the bursary (or greatest needs) can be dropped off at Crowsnest Pass Health Cen-tre or mailed to: Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation, Box 455, Blair-more, AB T0K 0E0.

Alberta SouthWest focusedon economic development By Joni MacFarlane Editor

The Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce members broke their summer schedule with a lunch on Aug. 13 featuring guest speaker, Bob Dyrda, communication coordinator with AlbertaSouthWest Regional Economic Development Alliance. Dyrda presented the organization’s current ongoing projects as well as some of the newer programs they’re working on. First, ABSW has a business directo-ry and events calendar which are free to members, said Dyrda. Businesses can list themselves on the website and even the smallest of operators may find it useful, he said. The events calendar is among the top-10 sites visited on their website and ABSW is working on a tool that would send the events to other websites such as Travel Alberta’s. A photo sharing site may also be used to download photos that are broken down by categories such as community, historical location, sports, and so on, said Dyrda. Another tool is a touring app, said Dyrda, triggered by GPS from Bragg Creek-High River south. Once down-loaded, the entire content is online. Next are the WiFi locations, Dyrda said, with 22 locations including two in Crowsnest Pass – Stone’s Throw Cafe and the Sportsplex. There are 16 partner sites, he said, and ABSW is the only region in Al-berta with this program so far. Since April 2012, they have had over 35,000 users and it continues to grow as they add locations. ASBW also offers regional business licenses for businesses who operate in several communities in the region. This programs raises about $18,000/year for the organization, Dyrda said. ABSW has begun several new proj-ects, he explained, that they are very excited about. SouthWest Invests aims to increase the overall capacity for attracting businesses as a region, by creating “a whole other level of awareness and intelligence used to attract invest-ment”.

The first way, said Dyrda, is 13 Ways Community Audits, based on a book written by MLA Doug Griffiths. It is municipality-based, he said, and helps them identify their strengths and weaknesses. Second, ABSW has been running a collaborative effort for foreign direct investment with Community Futures in the region, said Dyrda, to help pre-pare communities on how to attract investment. This program is winding down with a presentation on Aug. 26 in Pincher Creek. As well, ABSW is looking for suc-cess stories of businesses to be fea-tured on short videos on the website. Another exciting project ABSW is working on, said Dyrda, is imple-mentation of Broadband for Eco-nomic Development also known as Fibre to the Home. “What kind of jobs can you have where people can live and work here,” he asked. “We believe that by increas-ing our internet speeds and access, that this could be a huge boon,” he told Chamber members. ABSW has been studying a proj-ect in Olds that increased its internet speed that has now created a “flood of business activity” for them. One aspect of the study found that over 90 per cent of fibre in the ground is not in use. They hope to present a final report in late September to municipal coun-cils and communities with recom-mendations for a regional alliance. Lastly, Chamber President Patrick Sager said the Chamber needs one more member to help audit their financial statement. It’s a half-day commitment in late September, he added. Volunteers are also required for Christmas in the Mountains which will take place towards the first week of December, and the Lifestyle Show next spring. Sager reported that the Visitors’ In-formation Guide was very successful. There are about 1,100 copies left out of a 10,000 print run and they have been distributed about 3,000 to Visi-tor Information Centres in B.C. and another 6,000 in Alberta.

Resident rides on international stage By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Riding 200 kilometres a day for six days as the clock ticks un-der the harsh Argentina sun will test the mettle of the world’s best ‘off-road’ motorcyclists. But one Crowsnest Pass man is up for the challenge. Ryan Linderman, 19, will be riding for the Canadian Junior Trophy Team at the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in San Juan, Argentina on Nov. 3 to 8. Usually referred to as the “Olym-pics of Motorcycling” with tro-phies for both teams and indi-viduals, the ISDT is the world’s oldest and most prestigious off-road motorcycling event. Over its long history, the rules and condi-tions have changed to keep step with developments in the sport, but it remains a supreme test for both rider and machine. Linderman, who has been rid-ing dirt bikes since he was five, has grown with the sport. In 2001, he joined the Alberta Dirt Riders Association to race com-petitively and increase his riding abilities, he said. Since then, he’s earned five No. 1 Provincial Cross-Country/Harescramble Championships; placed first overall in the Cana-dian Western Enduro Champi-onships in Class A 2012, Class B 2011; and in his first year rid-ing in the Pro Class in both Pro-vincial and Western Canadian Cross-Country Championships, he placed six overall in the West-ern Canadian Standings. Applying to represent his country, Linderman was suc-cessful in being selected by the Canadian Motorcycle Association to represent Canada on the Junior Trophy Team. “To be a part of this event would truly be a dream come true for me, as it is like the Olympics of the sport that I have experienced for 14 years,” said Linderman. The event attracts more than 500 competitors of the inter-national motorcycling elite, to-gether with support crews and spectators. Riding a new FC250 4-stroke Husqvarna, Linderman’s bike has been crated and will be shipped to Argentina while he and his family fly down about a

week before the race. Once there, he has a week to get his bike ready, ride the practice track and check out some of the course on foot. Linderman must ride over 200 km per day for six days. Each day’s ride is six hours in four-timed trials during which com-petitors can eat and make neces-sary bike repairs. During breaks, except for changing the oil, no one else is allowed to touch his bike other than Linderman. He’s respon-sible for all other mechanical work. At the end of each day af-ter coming in from the last check, he has 15 minutes to get the bike in lock-up for the night. In the morning, he has 10 minutes to get it ready for the day’s ride. Linderman said he’s been prac-ticing changing tires and can do both tires in about eight minutes.As well as practice and experi-ence, Linderman said a race like this requires concentration and the ability to keep your cool. “You can’t come in [to the tran-sition site] and be panicking all over the place. You just have to keep calm,” he said. The terrain is also very different from Crowsnest Pass, he added.“It’s a little more wide-open, faster riding, than tight tree rid-ing,” said Linderman. “It’s kind of rocky, desert down there.” Just to increase the difficulty, Argentina will be coming into the summer season and tempera-tures can be climbing into the

30’s, added mom Tracey. Linderman said both team and individual times will be recorded and gold, silver and bronze med-als are awarded on an individual level as well as trophies for the four-rider junior national teams. The medals are typically awarded based on percentage of finishers, or relative to the best individual performance in the event within their specific class. Individual gold medals go to participants who finish within 10 per cent of their class’ top com-petitor’s total elapsed time, silver medals are awarded for those who finish within 25 per cent, and bronze medals are awarded to any rider who finishes all six days within their time allowance.In order to attend the ISDE, Lin-derman has been fundraising to cover expenses such as shipping his bike, travel, entry fees, insur-ance and supplies. Clothing items have been de-signed to help cover expenses and can be ordered through Border Building, Top Gunn Me-chanical and Arctic Edge. Orders will be submitted Sept. 8. Linderman and his family would like to thank the Crows-nest Agriculture Society, Kanan-askis Pro Rodeo, Blairmore Li-ons, Arctic Edge and Crowsnest Pass EMS for their support in this dream of lifetime. “I’d like to thank my family and friends and the community for supporting me in this endeav-our,” said Linderman.

Ryan Linderman, 19, is poised to ride for the Canadian Junior Trophy Team at the International Six Days Enduro.
