While mothering two young children and attending college she had what can only be called a “near-death” experience in the dreamscape. Following this experience, Shelly was awakened to parts of the self she wasn't aware existed, one of which is her ability to see energy on the physical plane. Shelly left the path of becoming a psychologist to follow the world of spirituality & energy quitting her job as a Family Preservation Worker to work full time in the space of energy, healing, and eventually, GOD.Shelly is the creator of Gaia's closet, The KA energetics program, and she is an author, earth educator, artist, medicine woman, and mother.

Mike Schwartz joins us from High River, Alberta, a town nestled in the Canadian Rockies known being able to throw a rock and hit a hockey player on a frozen lake. Mike is a musician who planted his flag on the music industry by helping people unlock their inner rockstar. As a coach, Mike has coined the Music Fit Method, and published a book with the same title. He is an incredible story teller and personality, and kept us laughing, breathing, thinking, and singing for the entire episode! Around the 1 hour mark we begin a meditation done using Binaural Beats, music played at a different frequency from what we're used to in popular music. The result, depending on the frequency, created a vibration throughout the body that affects different aspects of your brain/body function.

The floods in B.C. are hard to watch for some residents in High River, Alta. — they experienced a similar trauma in 2013. But could their experience offer a blueprint for recovery in B.C.? We talk to long-time High River resident Connie Balerud; Rev. Susan Lukey, a minister at the High River United Church; and Mayor Craig Snodgrass.
Extreme weather is usually treated as a physical problem. But eight years after historic flooding in High River, Alta., the town's recovery shows the long toll climate disasters can have on mental health — and offers lessons for how to help.

What responsibility does Cargill have to the workers, the community, and Albertans?

One of the big storylines heading into the Western Canadian Baseball League season was about how it would be an "All-Canadian" summer. It was viewed as an opportunity to show off the great talent we have in Canada, especially here in Alberta, as we slowly emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of the podcast, we chat with a couple of players who are suiting up for teams close to home. Elnora's Cleary Simpson entered the Sylvan Lake Gulls' record book by scoring the team's first-ever run and hit their first-ever home run, while High River's Tucker Zdunich is with Okotoks Dawgs Red after a five-year career with Dawgs Academy. Both are Colby Community College products who are excited about where their baseball journeys have taken them.
Welcome to the MWSA Podcast for Thursday, June 17th. We begin with the continuing conversation on racism in Alberta. We hear the personal experience of Author and Lawyer, Dany Assaf. Dany explains the motivation behind his book “Say Please & Thank You & Stand In Line: One man's story of what makes Canada so special – and how to keep it that way.” Earlier this week we got more details about what Stampede 2021 will look like, but what about Stampede events that normally happen around town off of Stampede Park? We catch up with Global News Reporter Sarah Offin. We know that this year's Stampede won't include the Chuckwagons, but the wagons are still going to ‘roar' in 2021. We get details on the competition that'll take place next month in High River from the Vice President of the High River Agricultural Society. Looking to keep the kids busy this summer? We get suggestions on Summer Camp options available in the city from Ellen Percival, Editor of “Calgary's Child” magazine. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Crazy thought - what if we took the time to properly prepare for a tour? Get a proper biomechanical assessment before hopping on board a 20 date tour, or even for just a few shows over the weekend... What could possibly happen with our performance if we took a proactive approach instead of treating solely when there was a problem that could cost a tour? That's what our conversation with Jamie Camp (MSc. PT Medical Acupuncture, SFMA, AiM, NKT & Adjunct Lecturer University of Toronto Dept of Physical Therapy) detailed. If you're wondering why your back hurts, or why your hip is shot or why that neck pain is starting to come back again even after the massage... save this show and take some notes! Here's a backstage pass of what we get into on this episode: What's your "walk up" song? "Wake Up" - Arcade Fire What's one thing you'd change about your industry? Moving from Local “bandaids” to global treatment of the entire system - viewing the body as a whole, where the nervous system runs the show to keep our eyes level and feeling safe... and takes into consideration motor compensation, past medical history etc. I can often trace current back pain/neck injury to 25 year old ankle injuries through the biomechanics. Jamie's Message Bands don't always know what they need - they default to massage, (and I love my RMTs, I co-treat really closely with them) But there are solutions rooted in nervous system reprogramming and biomechanics/movement that could actually save tours. When someone's injured, the tour is in jeopardy… Whether it's a catastrophic ankle sprain or chronic overuse, and it doesn't have to be that way. Most people get into physio to work with elite athletes... Very fun, but the more I worked with Musicians, I learned they're elite athletes with no off season, and a much smaller court (and smaller movement repertoire ie more overuse injury), and they don't even know it …… the music industry is just catching up to the idea of treatment, tune-ups, etc. For more info on Jamie Camp - @musicbiomechanic and @shifthappensoncarlaw on IG Yoooo! Are you a musician or an industry professional? Whatcha'all doing August Long? Are you interested in learning how to move your body properly so you can prepare for, recover from and optimize your performance both on and off the stage?

A change to a 45-year-old coal policy in a province known for resource extraction has people from all walks of life up in arms. And the people are saying the government has gone too far. On this episode of This Is Why, we learn about the changes to the 1976 coal policy and the people affected by the change. Adam Toy - @Adam_Toy on Twitter Dave McIvor - @d_mac1519 on Twitter This is Why - @ThisIsWhy on Twitter Email us - thisiswhy@globalnews.ca Guests: Jill Croteau, senior reporter, Global Calgary Episode resources: Mining For The Truth series by Jill Croteau "Southern Alberta ranchers weigh in on coal mining after Corb Lund, Paul Brandt speak out" on GlobalNews.ca "Alberta’s UCP caucus says it launched campaign to inform people about coal" on GlobalNews.ca "Alberta cancels recently issued coal leases in response to public outcry" on GlobalNews.ca "Calgary’s water likely safe following coal policy changes, High River area a concern" on GlobalNews.ca See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Coal mining conversations continue in Alberta, as the government announced a pause on eleven recently-granted leases in the Rocky Mountains. We check in with environmental lawyer David Khan and CPAWS conservation director (and biologist) Katie Morrison for details on what that actually means. Craig Snodgrass may be Mayor of a small town (High River), but he brought heavy artillery to our conversation around the lack of government consultation on the environmental and industry fronts. It's a must-listen interview. Dallas attorney and Southern Methodist University Law professor Eric Cedillo joins to make sense of Donald Trump's expected stream of Presidential pardons, and explain how Trump can (or cannot) influence impeachment proceedings.

COVID case numbers are starting to drop slightly, but Alberta's top doctor says our healthcare system is still under significant pressure. We're 10 months into this pandemic and many people are now focusing on a popular topic for 2021: vaccines. CBC reporter Paige Parsons looks at the vaccine rollout and supply chain for Alberta, while health reporter Jennifer Lee examines how variant strains of the coronavirus are impacting the province. Plus, CBC reporter Sarah Rieger explains how a formal complaint has led to an RCMP investigation into the COVID outbreak at a meat-packing plant in High River.

This episode was recorded on site at the High River Brewing Company with Owner and Head Brewer Kevin Guichon. Kevin shares his journey from so-so homebrewing to being the “neighbourhood living room”, and his philosphy on distributing deep rather than wide.Like many in Alberta's craft scene Kevin got started out as a homebrewer, which began while he was attending the University of Calgary. He explains that his roommate's uncle was a highly proficient homebrewer, so he and his roomate thought they'd take a crack at it. They started out by brewing brown ales and stouts because they were told it was a bit easier to hide off-flavours in dark beers, and good thing too, since Kevin admits that while they had fun doing it, their first few homebrews were not good beer.Kevin put a pin in his brewing hobby after his roommate moved away and he had to downsize to a smaller dorm room, but this wasn't to be the end of it. After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce in 2014 he quickly discovered that nobody was hiring in his field, so he ended up working raising cattle. One miserable, wet, snowy March day he realized he didn't want to do any more calving, remembered the Olds College brewing program, and thought “worst case scenario, my homebrew gets a bit better”. At first Kevin wasn't quite certain if he'd start a brewery, he just wanted to see if he liked brewing enough to take a crack at it. He fell into it, and fell hard. During the summer break between his first and second year of brewing school he worked at Apex, who were incredibly supportive of his goals. By late 2015 he was already starting to plan his brewery even though he hadn't even finished school yet, and in may 2018 he opened up High River Brewing Company along with the help of mom and dad on the business side. The brewery's reception in High River has been incredible, with the community immediately embracing them and keeping their taproom full since day one.—The Kondrat Podcast: website | facebookAlberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramKevin Guichon - High River Brewing Company: website | twitter | instagram | facebook

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast I'm chatting with sisters, Jodi Willoughby and Carolyne McIntyre Jackson, owners of Crave Cupcakes. The art of baking runs deep in their family. Growing up on our family farm in High River, Alberta they learned from the best. Their grandmothers, aunts and Mother were amazing bakers. They not only taught them how to bake, they passed along their values of quality, honesty and integrity. Their goal is is to bring joy into people's lives through exceptional, home-style baking. Crave opened their first bakery in Calgary back in 2004 with their Grandmother's chocolate cake recipe and their Mother's secret to irresistible buttercream icing. From the very beginning, Crave has been a true labour of love. Today Crave has grown to six bakeries and a team of 100 amazing people. Their values continue to live in everything they do though their team, processes and baking. They continue to crack every egg, open every pound of butter by hand and only sell freshly baked cupcakes. If you haven't had the pleasure of tasting one or many of their cupcakes as I have….run don't walk to their bakery! They are incredible women, growing an authentic business and I'm so excited for you to tune in and listen to our conversation today.

Listen to Dr. Adam Vyse explain how their small town response made a big difference to managing the Cargill outbreak. Dr. Vyse describes how by relying on strong relationships, close networks, thoughtful foresight, and practical application of primary health care guidelines enabled the Calgary Zone Primary Care Network, Calgary Rural PCN, and the town of High River manage one of North America's single largest COVID-19 outbreak.
Although we’re experiencing something of an Indian summer this week in September, the rains in August were anything but seasonal and I wanted to get some more insights and tips on how to approach high rivers at this time of year. Keith McDonnell, aka Fluffchucker.com, is a recognised expert on streamer fishing in high waters - and the size of the fish he has caught this season is testament to that. I spoke to Keith back in the Spring but this around Keith explained how you should be approaching high rivers in the summer and when you can be catching them on dry flies despite a flood. With two over 6lbs in the last few weeks, Keith is definitely worth listening to….. Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to the Ireland on the Fly podcast on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts from. You can also keep up to date on IrelandontheFly.com as well as on Instagram and I’ll be back next week with another episode about the people and places of fly fishing in Ireland.
Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Thursday, September 3rd. We begin with answers to your COVID-19 questions – and myth-busting surrounding the virus. We're joined by University of Calgary Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Craig Jenne. Next we look at the work done by Public Health Officials through the Pandemic. We speak with a Professor of Philosophy about the importance of maintaining trust with the public – as the crisis continues. Then we look at the question of whether historically significant statues and monuments should be removed when the subject turns out to have a controversial past. We get the thoughts of Duane Bratt, Political Scientist with Mount Royal University. And finally, it's a chance to hear some great music – socially distanced – while raising money for a good cause. We hear details on the High River District Health Care Foundation's “Big Screen Harvest Party”.
En plena pandemia Willie Nelson ha cumplido 87 años como un ejemplo de supervivencia… y de muchas cosas más. Entre ellas encontramos un romanticismo inherente al arquetipo del cowboy que se refleja en “We Are the Cowboys", uno de los temas clave de su último álbum First Rose of Spring. La canción se debe a su amigo Billy Joe Shaver, que resucitó en 1981 ese espíritu inquieto que busca su próxima aventura y que señalaba a los vaqueros como unos héroes que luchan contra las injusticias cotidianas. Willie ya grabó "We Are the Cowboys" con Shaver, Waylon Jennings y Kris Kristofferson en el álbum Honky Tonk Heroes de 2000, como un remedo de los Highwaymen. Como Willie es incapaz de estar inactivo, lanzará el próximo 15 de septiembre Me and Sister Bobbie: True Tales of the Family Band, un libro de memorias junto a su hermana mayor. Con ella también está trabajando en un libro infantil que se publicará en otoño de 2021 un libro ilustrado, titulado Sister, Brother, Family: Our Childhood in Music. Durante los últimos dos veranos, la serie de televisión Yellowstone, que protagoniza Kevin Costner, nos ha dejado una banda sonora que ha dado cobijo a varios artistas independientes de la música de raíces, atrayendo a nuevos seguidores que no se hubieran fijado en ello, pero que ahora han abierto los oídos a estas propuestas sonoras. El pasado domingo fue el debut de la tercera temporada de Yellowstone y su apuesta musical no difirió mucho de lo que ya habíamos escuchado hace casi un año en el programa. Desde Ryan Bingham, que sigue en el papel de Walker, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Whitey Morgan, Whiskey Myers (que dieron el salto definitivo gracias a la serie), Blackberry Smoke (los grandes beneficiados de la segunda temporada), The Steel Woods, Turnpike Troubadours o dejan más que claro que una aparición en Yellowstone no es un beneficio hipotético. El tejano Taylor Sheridan, que ya había dejado su sello con Sons of Anarchy y Comanchería, ha sido capaz de dar continuación a una historia que tiene mucho que ver con el Oeste Americano contemporáneo, revitalizando su espíritu, su tradición y su importancia real en el presente. Para comentar la parte cinematográfica de la serie se supone que hay especialistas, pero en cuanto a su música no podemos por menos que estar muy satisfechos con la selección de canciones que el pasado domingo hicieron palpitar a ese primer capítulo. Empezamos recordando que hace 10 años, The SteelDrivers publicaban su segundo álbum, Reckless, con Chris Stapleton aún como miembro de la formación. Unos meses antes, el músico de Kentucky había anunciado que dejaba el grupo para dedicarse a la familia. En 2015 debutó en solitario con Traveller. Curiosamente, “Good Corn Liquor” fue la única canción que en aquel 2010 no compusieron el binomio fundamental de la banda, el que formaron Mike Henderson y Chris Stapleton. Se trata de una canción en la que intervino Ronnie Bowman junto a Stapleton, por entonces el líder de la formación. Bowman fue miembro de la Lonesome River Band junto a Dan Tyminski (después en Union Station), estuvo con Band of Ruhks y ha recorrido la escena del bluegrass como uno de sus pilares fundamentales de su desarrollo. Como álbum, Adobe Sessions supuso un paso más en la credibilidad que Cody Jinks se ha ganado desde su debut. El artista tejano de Fort Worth se mueve en sintonía con artistas como Sturgill Simpson, Jamey Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham o Whitey Morgan, conectando con una audiencia que entiende a la perfección aquello que les cuenta porque le consideran un outlaw, como ellos mismos. De aquel cuarto registro de su carrera al que dio título el haber sido grabado en una pequeña habitación de adobe del Sonic Ranch en Tornillo, Texas, “Mamma Song” ha sido el tema escogido para formar parte de la banda sonora de ese primer capítulo, un ejemplo evidente de la personalidad artística del músico y del sentido que la cinta tiene en sí misma. Hace cinco años, Colter Wall editó un EP de siete canciones llamado Imaginary Appalachia en el que colaboraron The Dead South, Regina y Belle Plaine. Esta última, cantante y compositora de Fosston, en Saskatchewan, con cerca de 45 habitantes, cantó junto a su paisano en “Caroline”, que ahora Kevin Costner eligió para cerrar musicalmente el primer capítulo de la tercera temporada de Yellowstone, estrenado el pasado fin de semana. Después de haber sido uno de los referentes del folk canadiense, gracias a ese impecable dúo llamado Ian & Sylvia. Gracias a eso y a los royalties por la grabación que Neil Young hizo de su composición "Four Strong Winds", Ian Tyson es propietario del T-Bar-Y, un rancho situado cerca de High River, en la provincia de Alberta. Siendo un veinteañero y convaleciente de sus heridas como jinete de rodeo, Ian Tyson empezó a dedicarse a la música. A comienzos de los 70, tras separarse personal y profesionalmente de Sylvia Fricker se centró en el country, con grabaciones repletas de la imaginería y la mitología de la vida del cowboy como temática fundamental. Su álbum de 1986 Cowboyography es uno de los que mejor lo reflejan, con grandes canciones del estilo de “Rockies Turn Rose”. Si en este siglo XXI queremos seguir moviéndonos en los terrenos de los cowboys, como pretendemos hacer en el programa de hoy, no podemos dejar de lado la figura de Charley Crockett, que ha decidido cancelar todas sus actuaciones previstas hasta nuevo aviso. Tras someterse a una operación a corazón abierto a comienzos del pasado 2019, poco antes de visitarnos en una gira de conciertos inolvidable, no ha querido que ni él, ni su banda, ni sus seguidores puedan estar en peligro por la Covid-19. En un comunicado, el músico de San Benito ha hecho referencia al aumento significativo de infectados, pide disculpas y, sobre todo, pide a la gente que cuide. Por suerte, el último día del próximo mes de julio, Charley Crockett lanzará su nuevo álbum, Welcome To Hard Times, cuyo tema central es un recorrido por los paisajes del Far West, manteniendo el equilibrio entre country clásico, y ciertas pinceladas de spaghetti western. Remitirnos a un veterano como Don Edwards es recobrar el espíritu saludable del lejano Oeste. Creció escuchando la colección de discos de 78 revoluciones de su padre que incluían desde Bach y Mozart a las canciones de cowboys. Se convirtió en un músico autodidacta que se ejercitó en el rodeo y trabajó en un buen número de ranchos de Texas y Nuevo México durante sus años juveniles, influido por los westerns de serie B. En 1964 grabó su primer álbum y desde entonces ha mantenido ese espíritu, siendo dueño, incluso, de uno de los 100 bares más famosos de América, el White Elephant Saloon de Fort Worth. Gracias a Michael Martin Murphey, Don Edwards obtuvo una parte importante del reconocimiento que siempre ha merecido, con varios de sus trabajos guardados en los Archivos Folklóricos de la Librería del Congreso y habiendo recibido el premio Wrangler de la National Cowboy Hall Of Fame por su labor en pro de la música tradicional del Oeste. “The Cowboy’s Song” pertenece a su álbum Songs Of The Trail, siendo muy posiblemente una de las mejores canciones contemporáneas de la más pura tradición de las de vaqueros. La compuso Roy Robison, que trabajaba para la Murray Brothers Land y la Cattle Company de Forth Worth, en Texas. Michael Martin Murphey inauguró su West Fest inspirado por los espectáculos de Buffalo Bill, recorriendo anualmente distintas localidades de los estados de Nuevo México, Colorado y Texas, con la idea de preservar y perpetuar el espíritu del Oeste. En 1990 publicó un trabajo antológico sobre esa herencia musical titulado Cowboy Songs, donde se recogían las viejas canciones que su tío y su abuelo le enseñaron de pequeño en el Sky Ranch de Lewisville, Texas. Al fin y al cabo, es la música de su gente, su tierra, su cultura y su propia vida. En la mitad de 1907, un poema de Badger Clark titulado “A Border Affair” era impreso en el Pacific Monthly. Un cowboy de Arizona llamado Bill Simon le puso música y la canción entró dentro de la tradición oral como “Spanish Is The Lovin’ Tongue” que Michael Martin Murphey revivió de esta forma. Riddy Arman es una mujer nacida en Dixon, una pequeña localidad de poco más de 200 personas del Sanders County, en el estado de Montana, que mantiene el espíritu de los viejos pioneros y de manera muy especial la herencia musical familiar que le inspira canciones como “Spirits, Angels or Lies”, una maqueta grabada una noche del pasado mes de septiembre en Holy Cross, Nueva Orleans. Riddy es habitual del Cowboy Poetry Gathering que cada año desde 1985 se celebra en Elko, Nevada, y donde los ganaderos y cowboys se reúnen para compartir poemas sobre sus vidas y su trabajo. Tessy Lou Williams estuvo casi una década al frente de los Shotgun Stars, pero ha decidido que debía lanzarse en solitario y a pesar de que no parecen ser los mejores momentos, está superando el reto con un disco de título homónimo en el que despliega diferentes tonalidades del country clásico en Willow Creek, una localidad de alrededor de 210 habitantes, también en el estado de Montana, con el respeto a la tradición que le inculcaron sus padres, también músicos. Tras su paso por la tejana Austin ha terminado en Nashville, saltando las barreras de una industria nada respetuosa con las raíces, algo que no ha influido en absoluto de Tessy, que deja muestras de su poderío con temas del calibre de "Someone Lonely", una balada adornada por el Steel guitar de Mike Johnson. Su debut supone uno de los más apasionantes activos del presente de la country music. Bien podríamos decir que otra faceta de los cowboys tiene que ver con aquellos que cabalgan sobre 18 ruedas. Y hoy también es un buen día para recordar a los camioneros, sabiendo, además, que tenemos el privilegio de contar con un buen puñado de ellos como oyentes de TOMA UNO. Pues hoy, en la despedida del programa, queremos celebrar que en esta misma fecha de 1978 se estrenaba la película Convoy, protagonizada por Kris Kristofferson (en el papel de "Rubber Duck") y Ali McGraw (Melissa). Aquella canción había sido un enorme éxito en las listas de country y de pop gracias a C.W. McCall. Esta es la versión adaptada para la película de “Convoy”, que el director de una agencia de publicidad llamado Bill Fries llevó al éxito en 1976, asumiendo la identidad de C.W. McCall y grabando aquella canción escrita junto a Chip Davis en la jerga de las Citizen Band Radios (CB). Estas, introducidas en Estados Unidos en 1958, han sido la forma de comunicación que ha crecido más rápidamente desde que Graham Bell inventó el teléfono. En Junio de 1974, Bill Fries estaba escuchando su CB mientras conducía su jeep. Aquello le inspiró el texto de "Convoy", escrito de tal forma que una persona no familiarizada con la jerga creería que se trata de una lengua no inglesa. "Convoy" llegó al primer lugar de las listas de country en un mes y a las de pop en cinco semanas, vendiendo más de siete millones de copias. Aquel tema sentó las bases para el film del mismo título que protagonizaron Kris Kristofferson y Ali McGraw en el 78. Escuchar audio
The COVID-19 pandemic has become a public health emergency. Uninsured individuals in Alberta and Canada are often denied access to health care and can face huge costs to get treatment. There are concerns that these barriers to health care already have had public health implications in the context of COVID-19. Uninsured persons can include newly-landed permanent residents, temporary foreign workers (TFW's), international students and undocumented residents. COVID-19 assessment centers and related care should arguably be accessible to all people, regardless of immigration status during a pandemic such as COVID-19. Furthermore, TFW's often work in essential services such as agriculture and health care related jobs. As witnessed at the Cargill Beef Packing plant near High River, safe working and housing conditions were not prioritized and early warning signs were ignored causing a massive COVID-19 outbreak and plant closure. The speaker will explain his advocacy role in bringing these and many other issues facing TFW's and others to the attention of government, corporations and employers, while arguing that it should not take a serious pandemic or health emergency to implement safe working conditions for any and all employees. Speakers: Marco Luciano Marco is the current Director of Migrante Alberta. He was a student activist and a union organizer and educator before he moved to Alberta in 2013. He was also a co-founder the Canada-wide alliance Migrante Canada Date and time: Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 10 am YouTube Live link: https://youtu.be/bqvn33l1IxE In order to ask questions of our speaker in the chat feature of YouTube, you must have a YouTube account and be signed in.

North America's largest single coronavirus outbreak started at Cargill, a meat-packing plant located in High River, Alta.

This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season One, Episode 14, The Lost Lemon MineThe legend of the Lost Lemon Mine is one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the Canadian Rockies with adventure, murder, madness, ghosts and a curse at the heart of the story.The tale has many versions but we will stick to the most plausible one that begins in 1870 in Tobacco Plains Montana where a group of prospectors hearing that there could be gold in the rocky mountains of what the British were calling the Northwest Territories and present day province of Alberta in Canada.Two men from the group, Frank Lemon and his partner, a man known as “Blackjack”in the modern telling of the story, or Dancing Bill in previous accounts, set out on a route of their own to the Highwood Range. As they passed through the valley near The Highwood River they noticed outcroppings of minerals that would indicate that just below them were most likely veins of gold.Not wanting to share the discovery with the others, the two men made quick work and located a small vein and took samples from the rock. They would need some samples to take back to an assayer to determine the quality and also to convince wealthier individuals to bankroll the mining effort.Once they had collected a sufficient number of ore samples, the pair set up camp for the night. They planned to begin heading back to Montana early the next morning.Sometime during the night, Frank Lemon, convinced that Blackjack was going to cut him loose from the claim, took a pick-axe and drove it into Blackjack as he slept killing him in after several violent swings.But Blackjack remained. Frank Lemon stumbled backwards and stayed close to the fire all night as the vision of Blackjack haunted him. Frank Lemon later stated that glowing eyes watched him from the darkness and the translucent form of Blackjack was haunting him throughout the night and into the next day. Frightened, he set off for Tobacco Plains and confessed his evil deed to a priest.The Priest indicated that perhaps the only solution to stop the haunting was to give Blackjack a proper burial and a man named John McDougall was sent north to find and bury Blackjack’s corpse.After following Lemon's directions, he found the corpse and buried him in a shallow grave covered with stones. Upon returning to Tobacco Plains, he learned that the burial did nothing to stop the tormenting of Lemon. The Priest indicated that not only did Jack Lemon appear insane, but he was at times possessed by some sort of evil spirit, perhaps one that previously convinced him to carry out the murder itself.But insane or not, possessed by evil spirits or not, the lure of gold was too strong and a group of men encouraged Jack Lemon to accompany them back to the area to find the lost gold. At first, Lemon seemed almost normal, but as he drew closer to the area where he murdered Blackjack he started going insane and when he reached the area he was totally uncontrollable. One man subdued Lemon, and rode back to Tobacco Plains with Lemon bound to a horse. Once in Tobacco Plains he seemed less frequently bothered by the spirit of Blackjack and what other evils bothered him. He decided to travel to Texas to live with his brother, but years later, the ghost of Blackjack followed him there and he was forever tormented by the haunting.The men who were looking for Lemon's lost gold were unsuccessful. Several fell ill, while others gave up early when no sign of gold, or indications at least, that gold may be present were noted. The entire expedition was a bust.McDougall, the trapper who had buried Blackjack a year previous was hired to lead a party of prospectors back to the site to find the gold. On his way to meet the group he stopped in Fort Kipp, Montana. He would never leave this place; he ended up drinking himself to death taking the location of the mine with him to his grave.Lafayette French, the one who funded the original expedition went searching on his own for the mine. He searched in vain for close to 30 years with the help of the Blackfoot tribe. On a few of his expeditions, he lost some of his men to unknown sicknesses.Over the course of many years many prospectors tried to relocate the lost gold but all came up empty handed or ended in disaster – forest fires, death, illness and even another prospector coming down with the same type of possession noted in Lemon.Upon returning from his last expedition, he wrote a cryptic letter to a friend that stated he had found the location and would explain everything when he had the opportunity. After mailing the letter he made camp in an old log cabin close to the town of High River. Mysteriously that night his cabin was burned to the ground, with French inside. The location of the mine, once again, gone.Rumours swirled that a medicine man with the Blackfoot tribe had been watching Lemon and Blackjack and also witnessed what Lemon had done and had put a curse on the gold and the general area.Even natives in the area, throughout the decades also tried to find the mine, but were fruitless in their search.Geologists have always claimed the chances of the story being true are remote because by contrast to say, the neighbouring province of British Columbia, Alberta has very little gold due to the lack of prehistoric volcanic activity in the area.However, in the mid-1980s, Ron Stewart, a geological technician for the University of Alberta in Edmonton, began a serious search for the lost lemon mine and the $7 Billion dollars in gold it is keeping secret.'It turns out there is a basis of truth for the old legend,' Stewart said in an interview. 'I'm still in a state of shock.'It took Stewart 18 months to determine the mine's location. He said there was mention in the various stories and diaries he read of the Crowsnest Pass Lake, located near the site of the Lost Lemon Mine. Across the mine's upper limit is the Racehorse Creek, which was also mentioned in early accounts of the mine.An account of the prospectors' trip written in an 1870 edition of the Rocky Mountain Daily Gazette provided Stewart with additional information, suggesting to him the mine was located in the Crowsnest Pass near the town of Coleman.Stewart believes he has pinpointed the mine's location and has conducted a number of sample studiesestimating there are 17 million or more ounces of gold in a 150-square-mile area near the town of Coleman in the Crowsnest Pass.The bonanza discovered by Blackjack and Lemon was said to exist in acidic, volcanic rock, much like the gold formations in the state of Nevada.According to Stewart, geological maps revealed there was only one area in the Crowsnest Pass with volcanic rock.Last September, Stewart collected a number of samples from a six mile area near Coleman that were later found to contain 'significant gold values,' including some very rich samples taken from along the highway that runs past the town.'I was completely taken by surprise,' Stewart said. 'The gold was precisely where you would expect to find it. It was much too easy.'Stewart said he has taken a lot of ribbing about looking for lost mines, but figures he and partners Bob Cantin, an Edmonton businessman, and T. Gilbert Cook, owner of a lumber company, are 'right on the money.'The three formed a private company called Crowsnest Metals which staked a 25-square-mile claim near Coleman. An adjacent claim was filed by Ventana Equities, a public company that lists hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as a director.Stewart said his claim, which covers only a small portion of the 150 square miles of gold-bearing formation, is probably the easiest to mine because it is closest to the surface. In other areas, the gold is found at depths of 1600 feet.However, it is reported later, after a frenzy of gold fever, the gold that was found was poorly concentrated in the ore, and uneconomical to recover.And today prospectors of various backgrounds continue to search for the Lost Lemon Mine as its location still remains a mystery.However, an old prospector with the alias Jimmy White believes he has an answer to the unsolved mystery. Jimmy White told historians he came to Fort Steele in British Columbia at about age 12 in the year 1885 and prospected for gold. Here, he says he had met Jack Lemon on several occations and found him to be ornery and tended to spend all his money on liqueur.One time, Jimmy remembered Lemon had came to Fort Steele to seek help from a bullet wound in his leg to which the North West Mounted Police investigated. Lemon is said to have told the NWMP that Indians had attacked him and his partner Blackjack and that Blackjack was killed. Jimmy remembered that Blackjack was Lemon's partner but he had sometimes gone under the name McGowan. Once patched up Lemon packed up and said he was leaving for Montana.According to Jimmy he learned that Blackjack was not dead at all and that after an argument and a shootout over the gold, Blackjack believed he had killed Lemon and rode out to California where he admitted himself into a Sanitorium to cure his ailing lung disease and a case of smallpox. His caretaker, a man named McIver, is said to have nursed him back to health and the two became friends. Blackjack drew a crude map of the location of the lost mine and the two planned on retrieving the gold together but it seems McIver made this journey alone. It is not known if Blackjack passed away during his time recovering in the Sanitorium.McIver is said to have travelled to Fort Steele and met up with a surveyer by the name of Bill Essay who helped him pinpoint the location of the map.The map location led to a cabin, who Lemon and Blackjack were using. McIver was instructed to dig up the floorboards to find a stash of gold. The gold was said to never come from a lost mine in Alberta, but was stolen gold, as both Lemon and Blackjack were bushwackers who would steal gold from prospectors in BC and hide it in the cabin to later transport and spend in Montana.White indicated the cabin was only about 15 miles from Fort Steele along a creek, however, he indicted the gold was long gone, dug up and spent by McIver.According to White, Lemon made up a story of a mine so that others seeing him use gold to buy provisions, alcohol and prostitutes would not cause suspicion of his criminal deeds.He says that when Lemon would not identify the location of the mine to others and the growing suspicion that he had murdered Blackjack (who remember went to California), he fled to Montana and then disappeared to history.Native storytelling tells us the mine location was most likely further north in Alberta, most likely by Morley, Alberta, however, no gold has ever been found in this vicinity. There are stories of tribal elders holding nuggets of gold, and being sworn to protect the location of the mine, however, even Natives such as Chief Bearspaw tried to locate the gold for decades with no luck. Chief Bearspaw said he knew of no gold on the eastern slopes of the Rockies and therefore often travelled into British Columbia to seek out the treasure. He later accepted the fact that the whole story may have been fabricated and that both Lemon and Blackjack were simply thieves with stolen gold.This mystery it seems, will forever attract prospectors to the region as there is a group currently investigating volcanic rock formations around Coleman and Blairmore Alberta in hopes to find the lost treasure and perhaps when they do find some evidence another gold rush will commence.Until then.

The village of Standard, Alberta is home to about 353 residents living a peaceful country lifestyle just 80 km from Alberta's largest city, Calgary. On April 22, 1981, however, big city crime, shocked the tiny village to the core. Standard would never be the same, and Alberta would be on edge.15 year old Kelly Cook was abducted and later found murdered. Alberta would be on gaurd for years to come as the case bled into the psyche of every parent. To this day, the abduction and murder of Kelly Cook remains unsolved.Investigators have worked tirelessly on the case for decades and there is a special room dedicated to the files for the Cook homicide which is filled to the roof with boxes and boxes of evidence. More than 2200 possible suspects have been looked at, and police confirm the case is still active.RCMP believe this was a well planned crime. But let us delve into this further to see if there is another possibility.Reports indicate that Kelly Cook received a phone call from a man identifying himself as Bill Christensen who asked her to babysit for him that evening. He explained he would pick her up at her residence. Kelly routinely babysat and although she did not recognize the name, the surname was a common one in that area. Crime was virtually none existent and residents would often leave doors unlocked. Kelly's friend Cindy Krabsen, who also babysat regularily, recalls Kelly was uneasy and asked if Cindy knew this Bill Christinsen person, but then Kelly reassured herself because she indicated to Cindy that when she asked if the man knew where she lived, he reassured her by providing the names of her next door neighbors.At 8:30 PM a car pulled up in front of the Cook house and beeped his horn. The driver did not leave his care and Kelly walked out of her house and climbed into the automobile's front passenger seat and then the care simply drove off. Kelly Cook's younger sister Marnie, aged 12 at the time, watched this unfold from the basement window.Later that night, concerned that Kelly had not called in to report where she was and that she had not returned home, they called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A quick local search yielded no results and as a result a massive local search was launched, but again yielded no results or even clues.Police knew they were dealing with a dangerous person and had hopes that Kelly Cook would be found alive and immediately started pressing into the evidence they could gather. They traced the original call from the man identifying himself as Bill Christensen to a local gas station owned by Lee Abbott, which was several miles outside of Standard on Hwy 561 and The Trans Canada Highway. Police learned that Kelly Cook may not have been the intended victim as a witness came forward and identified herself as Kelly's friend. She had received a call from Bill Christensen on April 18th who phoned from The Standard Hotel Bar and who asked to have her babysit, however, she was not feeling well and was busy, so she passed along Kelly Cook's phone number as a back up.Bar staff identify the man as having a rough attitude. He walked directly up to the bar and almost demands to use the telephone. He makes the call to Kelly's friend, buys a case of beer and gets annoyed about his change and leaves without evening saying thank you. They include a vague description of a tanned, heavy set man.However, there are reports that a man who entered a local restaurant asking the waitress if she did babysitting and if she could help him out. The waitress gave Kelly Cook's friend's number, and she in turn gave the number of Kelly Cook.A composite describes of the the man from all witnesses indicated the perpetrator as being about 30-40 years old, 5 10, 160 pounds medium to heavy build with a round face and swarthy complication. His hands and face were weather beaten but with short dark hair and clean shaven. He had a blue windbreaker with a possible logo on it. The car he was driving is reported as being a 1978 full sized Chrysler or GMC, light colour with possible Alberta plates.If we are to believe these reports, then the perpetrator had not planned on a specific victim. He was most likely fishing for a young girl, any girl. But the question remains, why do this in such a small village where the relative amount of young girls is low and the chance of being identified high?There are reports that the school at which Kelly Cook was attending received a telephone call just prior to the abduction. In March 1981, a photo ran in a local paper of a girl from a figure skating club. The Principle of the school recalls that a man indicated he saw the girl in the photo and wanted to know more about her. The Principle indicated it was not policy to reveal the girls name, address or phone number. The caller hung up. It seemed as if the perpetrator was looking for a specific type of girl and may have settled on Kelly Cook.Police learned that at 10pm the evening of the abduction a call was placed to the operator from a payphone in Hussar, Alberta, only 25 km away. The operator reported that she hear the sound of a woman screaming and then the call was cut off. Police believe that this may very well have been Kelly Cook. Speculation is that the perpetrator stopped for gas, but at this hour, at that time, everything would have been closed. Did Kelly jump out of the vehicle in an attempt to escape? Or was she held captive near the payphone?The two month in depth search for Kelly Cook ended on June 29th when her badly decomposed body was found in an irrgation canal 90 miles southeast of Standard. The discovery was made by two Taber youths riding motorcycles along Highway 36 along the shore of Chin Lake, a natural reservoir 25 miles east of Lethbridge.The body was so badly deteriorated that the Calgary medical examination office was unable to determine how, or when, Kelly Cook died. Later, the press indicated they received reports that Kelly died of asphyxiation but she was not sexually assaulted, leaving investigators baffled as to the motive of her slaying. She was bound by the hands and feet by rope and anchored by two concrete blocks. The body was found several yards from shore, and 200 yards from the highway bridge. The body was only discovered because of the low levels of Chin Lake due to a drought. The RCMP subsequently dragged the lake in an unsuccessful search for additional clues, and a team of divers also conducted a fruitless exploration.Following the discovery of her body, there was an eerie twist in the case. On July 2, 1981, a man went into the Calgary funeral home where Kelly's body was being kept and demanded to see the corpse. Attendants turned him away. Police still haven't been able to determine whether the man was her killer. Police say it was not common knowledge that Kelly's body was in that funeral home following the autopsy'.RCMP Inspector George Foulon says investigators were searching for this man where Cook's body was being held after an autopsy before it was shipped to Standard. Foulon said the man walked into the funeral home during the early evening of July 2 claiming to be a friend of the Cook family and "requested to view the body." He was told he could not and he left.The Cook family has told police they were unaware of any friends of theirs who had tried to view the body in the Calgary funeral home. Nor was it public knowledge that the body was in the funeral home. The man was described as being in his mid to late 30s, about five feet, 11 inches tall and 165 to 170 pounds. He was heavy set and had a dark complexion.The man never came forward and was not identified.Four and a half months after the abduction, girls in Canmore, Alberta, 2 hours west of Standard along Hwy 1 reported getting strange calls from a man, who's name was not remembered. The man was requesting a babysitter and said he would pick up the babysitter at their house and drive them. Suspicious of the request and that they did not recognize the name in a small town of 3000, each girl failed to provide the service to the man. RCMP were called and investigated but no leads surfaced other than the phone calls were placed by a man using a payphone and that he had called 11 girls and if a girl turned him down, he asked for referrals, just like Kelly Cook's abductor had done.But let's back up a bit, before the abduction of Kelly Cook, before the creepy call to the school and before the search for a babysitter by the unidentified man.On April 1, 1981 it is reported that Michelle Allan, aged 15, provided a warning to residents and children about a child abductor and that it is unsafe for anyone her age to be on the streets alone, even in a small community, like the one she resided in.Michelle Allan's experience began near the Mayfair Theatre at about 6:30PM in Olds, Alberta which is 1.5 hours north of Standard Alberta. She was on walking toward the Theatre when a small care stopped opposite her. Seeing the American license plates, Michelle also stopped thinking that the lone occupant might need some directions. Instead, the driver got out, grabbed her and shoverd her into the car and took off toward Red Deer Alberta.Michelle said the driver was frustrated with the selection of hotels in Red Deer so he continued on toward Edmonton. Again, in Edmonton he was dissatisfied with the selection and then drove back to Leduc where he stopped at the Leduc Inn. Once stopped, Michelle struggled with the driver and managed to get out of the vehicle where she began screaming for help. One man came to her assistance and then a crowd gathered. Police were called and Michelle and her abductor were taken into the RCMP officer. Michelle was reunited with her parents and facing charges was 44 year old Chester Keith Bordelon, of no fixed address, from Louisiana. He faced multiple charges including deportation.It is unclear what exactly happened to Chester Keith Bordelon, if he was released on bail, or on a promise to appear, or was deported immediately or if he ever did time in jail. What is for certain is that he died in 2008 in Morrow, Louisiana. It is unknown if he had any charges or convictions. What is assumed is that he was from Louisiana, so would have had a tanned complexion, like the perpetrator in the Kelly Cook abduction and murder. What is known is that he was a child abductor and a sexual predator in 1981.In 2017 Toronto Police stated they want to find child killer Dennis Melvin Howe by any means possible, and either dead or alive. Detective Sergeant Stacy Gallant of the cold case squad says no other killer equals Howe for the sheer evil and depravity that seers in his dark soul.Howe raped and murdered a 9 year old and squished her body into a refrigerator. For more than three decades, detectives have scoured the earth for the elusive killer. No tip has been too outlandish for them to chase down. The road has led to heartache and nearly all leads have been dead ends.For some, Howe is a suspect in the Kelly Cook case. Howe was last seen in Winnepeg, Manitoba in the early 1980s. Howe had a lengthy criminal record and spent almost 15 years in a Saskatchewan prison for assaulting women and girls.Although no confirmed records show Howe in Alberta, it is possible he was there in 1981. He was born in Regina and it is said he visited Alberta in the past. Howe's whereabouts today are unknown.Another interesting suspect is Robert Edward Brown, who was a junk yard worker and pig farmer who was arrested in 1983 for the murder of two girls, one in High River and another in Okotoks Alberta in 1981. The first was beaten to death and the other, a 16 year old female stabbed to death. Robert then poured gasoline on each of the bodies and burned them until only charred remains were left.During police interviews Brown indicated he had committed other murders in Alberta and up to seven across Canada. He provided details not released to the public about some cases to which the police believe his narrative. In 1981 he was living in Blackie about an hour south of Standard Alberta.However, Robert Brown will never divulge any more, as he was was knifed to death by a fellow inmate in 1986.And then there is serial killer Terry Arnold, of St. Catharines Ontario. Terry moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba and then to Bentley Alberta. Terry was a troubled youth who found himself in and out of youth centres. His first relationship ended quickly when his new wife in 1980 found out about his kinky views about having sex with children. Arnold told her that if they had a daughter, he would have intercourse with her when she was old enough. She left her husband and was so terrified she aborted their baby. At this time he lived in Calgary Alberta and it is at this time, the killing started.Some people believe that Terry Arnold's first victim may have been Kelly Cook. Psychiatrists said he had a high IQ and was very detail oriented and was bold. However, at the time of the abduction and murder of Kelly Cook, Terry was only 18 years old. However, witnesses in his other murders during this time say he looked much older, more like he was in his 30s. Terry Arnold was said to be living in Strathmore, minutes away from Standard in 1981. This is where the Standard figure skaters pictures were published and maybe even where they practised. Arnold's girlfiend at the time believed to be a Victoria Spakowski claimed that a local skating rink was their place for hanging out and socializing prior going to Winnipeg. Arnold may have seen or met or even known some of the Standard figure skaters. Barb Stoppel, a later murder victim of Terry Arnold had previously disclosed Arnold’s fascination and fixation with girls wearing the skaters costume of the day.Terry Arnold worked across Canada and the United States as a hand for a travelling carnival. At this time, both Canadian Law Enforcement and the FBI suspect him of serial raping girls as young as 10 and murdering others across Canada and the US. In the 1990s he was convicted of raping four girls, aged 10, 11, 15 and 16 to which he only received 6 and half years in prison. Arnold was also the main suspect in the 1987 death of Calgary teen Denise Lapierre and the 1988 murder of Roberta Marie Ferguson, last seen getting into a car near Chilliwack, British Columbia. He was also a prime suspect in the unsolved murder of Barbara Stoppel, aged 16 in Winipeg. Authorities believe he may have raped and murder dozens of young girls in Florida, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma New York and even in Mexico.Terry Arnold was serving a life sentence for the 1987 killing of Christine Browne, aged 16 near Kelowna BC after she had refused to have sex with him.Recently a Calgary woman has come forward, claiming Arnold raped and sodomized her as the nine-year-old daughter of one of Arnold's Calgary girlfriends in the 1980s. The traumatized woman has spent the ensuing years fighting depression, alcoholism, working as a stripper and dealing with her anger that the man who victimized her could roam the country for so long without being caught.Terry served only five years of his life sentence and then won a new trial on appeal after he argued some documents available to the Crown had not been made available to him. Terry is rumoured to have also made some very loose confession about murdering Cook, but it is not publicly available.But like the previous suspect, Terry took the secrets with him to the grave. At age 42, he ended his own life in an apparent drug overdose suicide. He left a suicide note that did not include any confessions. In fact, he declared his innocence. He was scheduled to appear on child porn charges.The Kelly Cook investigation remains open as law enforcement believe the perpetrator is still alive.Between 1981 and 1986, more than 20 RCMP investigators have been handed the Cook file and today it still remains active. All have reviewed it with a fresh outlook, but in the end all have come to the same conclusion: not a stone has been left unturned in the search. Over the years the murder file has been shifted from investigator to investigator for a fresh look, yet all of them have been stumped.Law enforcement strongly believe the killer and police have crossed paths at some time during the investigation, which has exhausted thousands of man hours.Police believe they have spoken with the killer at least once.Although Standard town residents are disappointed the case remains unsolved, they are not critical of the police. Most say the police have done everything they can.Witnesses described the man as 30–45 years old in 1981, making him about 63–78 today. He was around 178 centimeters (5’10″) in height with a medium to heavy build and dark hair. There is currently a $120,000 reward being offered to anyone with information.Rumours abound in 2017 that police have a suspect in mind and are investigating. Any tips, are essential in bringing justice to Standard and for Kelly Cook and her family.Anyone with information is asked to call the Serious Crimes Branch South Airdrie “K” (AB) Division at 403-420-4900 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.

The extra little effort appears to have a worked as the High River, Alberta native took home top prize in Class 6 of the Vintage Tractor Pull at the Calgary Stampede. For Randy and his family, just taking part in the event is bittersweet as it comes only a week after his father, Bill, passed away. Bill had been a staple at pulls for the last 6 to 7 years and had been scheduled to take part in this event until his passing. Randy, who stepped in to take his place in his memory says winning was the icing on the cake.
The Sun has not set. Welcome to the first episode of The Brian Lilley Podcast.

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission report about RCMP action in private residences in High River, Alberta during and following the devastating June, 2013 flooding reveals hundreds of legally owned firearms were removed from those private residences by police without the requisite "legal authority." Firearms of law-abiding citizens were removed by police who had no warrants and without judicial oversight. Homes were "forcibly entered" as RCMP officers were ostensibly looking for flood victims to save. But some of those homes had no or little flood water activity or damage and there is evidence to suggest police looked in dresser drawers for people in need of saving. 609 firearms were taken, many of them legally and properly stored. Guests: Lorne Gunter. Sun Media. Investigated the High River gun seizures. Documentary: Broken Trust. Greg Kvisle. High River resident and real estate agent. Says RCMP stole family heirlooms, a rifle and shotgun they would have had to rummage through his basement to find. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Listener Richard from High River, Alberta, heard last Sunday's segment with an Alberta police officer speaking about the war on police and the piece I Was A Police Officer. Richard emailed about the High River experience with RCMP breaking into homes following the 2013 massive flood, supposedly searching for flood victims where none existed, but confiscating firearms. This police action still has many High River residents and Canadians outside the community angry. Guests: - Richard. High River resident and listener - Lorne Gunter. Sun News contributor who has written extensively about the High River situation. - RCMP Sgt. Patricia Neely from High River following the flood. The RCMP gave this show the first detailed interview from High River at the time of the controversial search. We play back some of the interview with Sgt. Patricia Neely. Police had requested my questions before they would agree to speak with me. Sgt. Neely says insisted police were "not looking for guns" and only "secured" guns if they were left "out in the open". She insisted time and again it was a "search and rescue and our focus was on the search for people." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
