Rev. Lang Shares the Gift of Forgiveness by Kathy Harker Five Years Has Past Since Jason Lang Was Gunned Down in the Hallway of W.R Rev. Lang Shares the Gift of Forgiveness by Kathy Harker Five years has past since Jason Lang was gunned down in the hallway of W.R. Meyers High School in Taber. Reverend Dale Lang, Jason’s father, spent an hour with stu­ dents and interested community members on Wednesday in the Tom Karren Gym to share his memories and message of faith and forgiveness. For Reverend Lang, April 28 will always be a memorable day - first, in 1977 his oldest son was bom while he was working at Resolute Bay and was the day he dedicated himself to a life centered around Jesus Christ. April 28,1999 was the day his life changed again when his son Jason was taken from this earth and he put into practice the teachings of love and forgiveness he had been studying and teaching. Reverend Lang’s memories of what began as an ordi­ nary day include a pleasant drive with Jason before school and as he stated, they were the “best of friends on the last day of his life.” Being a normal father/son he said they had moments of displeasure in their relationship but their last time together left no regrets. He referred to the Apostle Paul when he said, “Don’t let the sun go down on your anger.” Rev. Lang’s words of wisdom to us were, “Don’t Rev. Lang speaking to the Jr./Sr. High School at the Tom Karren Gym. leave home angry. Even when you argue, remember you healing, Reverend Lang chose forgiveness. If he had not, the also love. You can’t guarantee today will be a normal day. boy and the incident would have control over his life. We don’t have the luxury of time to stay angry with anyone.” The concluding message from Rev. Lang was that we Forgiveness is the opposite of revenge and Reverend have the privilege of impacting the lives of those around us - Lang has been an example of this right from the moment he was at the hospital and was told Jason had died. Anger came even those we don’t care for. Through a story example, he taught that even a kind that his son was gone, but not at the boy who did the shoot­ word for a less popular person can impact that person. If ing. His thoughts were that this must be a troubled person Jason’s killer had had a friend, Jason may still be here tod:,. to have done such a thing. He said God gave him the grace to forgive and kept As the Spirit of Alberta played Amazing Grace, we pc - dered truly amazing grace in ¡lie life of Reverend Lang. him from the prison of anger.

  • Placing the Cardston Temple in Early Mormon Temple Architectural History
    PLACING THE CARDSTON TEMPLE IN EARLY MORMON TEMPLE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY By Amanda Buessecker A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in Art History Carleton University May 2020 Supervisor: Peter Coffman, Ph.D. Carleton University ii Abstract: The Cardston temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents a drastic shift in temple architecture of the early Mormon faith. The modern granite structure was designed not to show a mere difference of aesthetic taste, but as an embodiment of the evolving relationship between the Mormon pioneers and the American government. Earlier temples, erected in the nineteenth century throughout the valleys of Utah, were constructed by Mormon pioneers at a time when the religious group desired to separate themselves from the United States physically, politically, and architecturally. When the temple was built in Cardston, Alberta (1913-1923), it was a radical departure from its medievalist predecessors in Utah. The selected proposal was a modern Prairie-school style building, a manifestation of Utah’s recent interest in integrating into American society shortly after being admitted to the Union as a state in 1896. iii Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 1 Part I: A Literature Review ........................................................................................................ 5 A Background for Semiotics .................................................................................................

  • A Prevalence Study of Multiple Sclerosis in the Crowsnest Pass Region of Southern Alberta
    A Prevalence Study of Multiple Sclerosis in the Crowsnest Pass Region of Southern Alberta G.M. Klein, M.S. Rose and T.P. Seland Abstract: Reports of a high prevalence rate for multiple sclerosis in Southern Alberta led to an epidemiologic study of this disease in the Crowsnest Pass and Cardston regions. In Cardston, the prevalence rate for multiple sclerosis was 88 per 100,000. In the Crowsnest Pass, the prevalence rate was 217 per 100,000. Previous epidemiologic studies of the prevalence rate of multiple sclerosis in Western Canada have shown rates between 93 and 111 per 100,000. Two prevalence studies of multi­ ple sclerosis in Barrhead County, Alberta and Westlock County, Alberta show prevalence rates of 196 and 201 per 100,000. The prevalence rate in the Crowsnest Pass is comparable to the prevalence in Barrhead County and Westlock County, Alberta. However, there is no statistically significant differ­ ence between prevalence rates in the Cardston and Crowsnest Pass regions and our overall feeling is that the results of studies of small populations should be interpreted with caution. Resume: Etude de prevalence de la sclerose en plaques dans la region de Crowsnest Pass dans le sud de I'Alberta.

  • The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199
    Boatright: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199 Remembering the Early Saints in Canada: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project Gary L. Boatright Jr. In 1989, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated the community of Stirling—a quaint town of just over 1,000 people located on the plains of Southern Alberta—a National Historic Site for being “the best- preserved Canadian example of the distinctive settlement pattern known as a Mormon Agricultural Village or the Plat of Zion.”1 Recognizing the potential the designation provided to increase the historic visibility of the area and po- tentially attract tourists, local community leaders organized a steering com- mittee to determine ways to share the rich history of the area with its citizens and those traveling through the settlements.2 At the request of this committee, representatives from the LDS Church History Department (CHD) visited the settlements of Cardston, Magrath, Raymond, and Stirling, Alberta. Here they toured local historic sites, met with community and provincial leaders, and discussed ways the Church could sup- port local historic preservation initiatives. From these meetings the Church History Department committed to oversee two projects: (1) a modest redo of the historical exhibit in the Guest Centre at the Cardston Alberta Temple, and (2) development and installation of several historic markers in Southern Alberta. In April 2011, CHD staff installed a new exhibit in the temple Guest Centre that focused on the early settlement of the area and the history and architecture of the temple. Following the exhibit installation, CHD staff and local community leaders Scott Barton, Wade Alston, Ryan Leuzinger, Larry GA RY L.
