~Council updates~

Country residential RVs, EDO position, e-bikes, and more AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

RVs on country residential parcels Council passed first reading amending the Land Use Bylaw to prohibit the storage of recreation vehicles on Grouped Country Residential parcels.

As per the current bylaw, the municipality has provisions permitting an RV to be stored on country residential lots for no more than 30 cumulative days while the development and building permits are being issued and no principle use has been established. Once all permits are issued, one RV may be stored for the duration of the construction. After that, up to three RVs may be stored on the property.

However, in no case shall a recreational vehicle be used for permanent living or sleeping accommodation.

The proposed bylaw amendment states that no recreational vehicles may be stored on a parcel until a principle use has been established, thereby forbidding the storage of a recreational vehicle for 30 cumulative days during

the permitting stage.

A Public Hearing will be scheduled prior to the second and third reading of the bylaw and a mail-out will be sent to country residential parcel owners.

EDO position Council passed a motion approving the addition of an Economic Development Officer (EDO) in the management hierarchy work chart.

The position will cost the municipality approximately $113,000 annually for salary, benefits, phone and travel.

As the EDO position is not in the 2018 budget, it would be funded out of reserves for the remainder of the year and would be part of 2019 budget discussions.

Council also passed a motion to follow the Purchasing Policy and Procedure to hire a facilitator who would help Council develop an Economic Strategic Plan by August 15, 2018, costing the municipality approximately $5,000. The plan will help guide the EDO job description and responsibilities, and establish a long-term perspective for economic

development.

E-bikes update Council passed a motion that a draft e-bike policy or bylaw comes back to council in November 2018.

A public hearing will be held prior to second reading of the bylaw.

The throttles on the five e-bikes purchased by the municipality have been disabled. According to Joey O’Brien, Manager of Community Services, the municipality received the US model by mistake, which is equipped with a throttle, instead of the model that is solely pedal-assist.

The e-bikes are rented out from the Crowsnest Community Pool and riders are advised to ride on the Community Trail or to remain on the green colourcoded trails classified as “easy” on the Pass Powderkeg (PPK) trail system.

This recommendation is in line with the municipal insurance policy for renting out the e-bikes.

However, while someone choosing to ride a blue “medium” or a black “difficult” trail on PPK would be disobeying municipal advice, it is virtually im-

possible to enforce that riders remain on green trails, especially considering that e-bikes and regular bikes look largely similar.

O’Brien points out that already, there are riders using e-bikes riding the PPK trails almost every day with their own bikes.

The e-bike rental program will be re-evaluated at the end of each quarterly cycle. Part of the process will look at which trails ebike users are riding on and will be used to inform policy.

But Council may have more to consider in their bylaw than only e-bikes.

Electric transportation technology is evolving and expanding rapidly, with etricycles, e-quads even electric unicycles hitting the markets. Castle Parks has jumped on the e-bandwagon as well, supplying a 3,000-watt twist grip throttle Icon Explore e-trike to loan out to people with disabilities.

Expanding Southern Alberta Trade Corridor Council has passed a motion to contribute a letter of support to the Town of Cardston concerning an expansion of the Southern Alberta Trade Corridor.

The Town of Cardston has two goals they are pushing for. They would like to have the opening

hours of the Carway-Piegan border crossing between Canada and the US increased from 16 hours (7 a.m. to 11 p.m.) to being operational 24 hours a day.

They would also like to expand the crossing to accommodate commercial truck traffic.

Coleman Revitalization update The tendering process for the Downtown Coleman Revitalization Project concluded on Friday, July 13, 2018. The municipality is now working to award the construction project to a contractor.

According to Patrick Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), at this time, the project is still on schedule to be completed by the end of November 2018. A per-day penalty will be imposed starting in May 2019 if the contractor is unable to complete the project this year (no penalty would be imposed between the months December and April because it is physically impossible to conduct any work during the winter weather.

Bellevue Cemetery update Maintenance on the Bellevue Union Cemetery to mitigate the seasonal flooding has not yet commenced. There is still water flooding the cemetery and,

according to Thomas, the municipality is waiting for the water level to recede in order to begin maintenance.

"We’re going to start as soon as we can get in there.

Half the material is on-site already. We’re just waiting for the ground to dry up,” he says.

Crowsnest Lake boat dock Council passed a motion to direct Administration to proceed with repairing the boat dock at Crowsnest Lake, funded from reserves, on the condition that it can be completed by the end of July and that it does not come ahead of performing maintenance on the Bellevue Cemetery.

The cost to repair and install the dock is approximately $4,500 to $6,000.

This estimate is for repairing the boat dock only. Repairing the boat launch will come as a separate project.

Councillor Dean Ward said that he will not support the project if it causes any delays to the repairs at the Bellevue Cemetery, which floods annually at spring time.

Mayor Blair Painter noted that this is a relatively inexpensive project that would have a really good impact within our community.

Local author gives soul to Frank Slide AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Crowsnest Pass has some of the most interesting history in Canada, but some of this lore is diluted with inaccuracies and myths.

With his latest book Grave Stones: A Frank Slide Story, local author Ken Roome hopes to preserve the truthfulness of Crowsnest Pass history.

The historical fiction novel details the stories of residents, rescue workers and those impacted by the day on April 29, 1903 when 110 million tonnes of rock slid down Turtle Mountain and onto the town of Frank. The accounts of events are real, but the fiction aspect comes in as Roome gives personality and emotions to the characters.

“I hope it brings the fiction a little bit closer to truth and I hope it actually makes an interesting place even more interesting,” says Roome. “Our legends have gone from legends to fantasy or myth. I tried to bring them back with the actual facts.”

For example, Roome cleared up the fact that there wasn’t only one survivor, as is erroneously believed by some people, there were in fact 23 who lived through the slide.

In fact, Roome dedicated the book to Gladys Ennis Verquin, the little baby that was legendary as the only survivor ac-

cording to an initial report by a journalist at the time, and her brother Delbert Ennis, who was Roome’s neighbour and shared many stories from those coal mining days.

Setting the stage for 1903 Frank, Roome lays out Turtle Mountain, describes the building of the town by Henry L. Frank and sets the general ambiance of the time with the railroad construction and coal mining coming in to the region.

“The adventure starts right from the mine entry.

As the wave of rocks passed, I did each story as the rocks hit. At the end, I wrap it up with the people moving across the tracks to the north side of Frank, away from the mountain because they were sure it was going to fall again,” he says.

The self-published book is based on true events the Roome learned through his “72 years of living,” as the author puts it. He spent years speaking with people who lived through the Frank Slide and saw what happened.

You might recognize some familiar names from the book, notable people who are instrumental in the history of Crowsnest Pass. There’s Alexander Leitch, a businessman who died in the slide, or mine workers Shorty Dawson, Dan McKenzie and Joe Chapman.

Editorial and Opinions PArking ProBLems If you take a look at the Bricks & Bouquets section just below, there are a few bricks regarding parking on Main Street Blairmore.

Parking has always been an issue on this little stretch of road. We have a busy drug store, a bank and, of course, Johnnie the Barber, who really is an institution here in the Pass.

On Thursday, the town blocked the parking so that vendors could set up for the Thursday night market. While this is great, it sure put a lot of pressure on the regular folk who needed to get some stuff done on Main Street.

I had a lot of business owners and patrons coming into the office to talk to me about the lack of parking on a good day, never mind if it’s closed off for regular events.

I called the mayor and asked why the parking from Gazebo Park to the four-way intersection was closed and he explained it was for the vendors to set up for the night. I explained the lack of parking already and questioned whether this was a good idea. Then he told me something that stumped me... That there is parking behind Pharmasave beside the ATCO building.

I thought that the parking lot was owned by ATCO. Guess what. It isn’t, it’s owned by you, the taxpayer.

I could have been parking there for years except I didn’t know I could. I figured if I didn’t know that, then probably you didn’t either.

So, in the future, I will endeavor from this day on as a business owner to park in that lot on 21st Ave. to free up space for you, the patrons, of Main Street Blairmore.

I urge all the other business owners and their staff who work on this block to do the same. It seems like a small thing to do for such a large impact to the community.

I think the country market is such a wonderful draw for the community, so to give up parking for a few hours to accommodate the vendors is a small price to pay, especially if we can free up the parking for us workers by using the lot we already own.

I’m even going to find out if we can get parking lines painted on, as a way to make people more aware that there is public parking in that area. If we lived in the city, we would be paying to park. One of the benefits of living in a small town is that we don’t.

So if you work or own a building on 20th Ave., let’s try to accommodate the public.

That’s the way I see it.

Letters to the Editor Newspaper advertising, a saving grace for small town business Dear editor; There are lots of homegrown little businesses here that could sell their inventory fast. I see them at shows and markets.

I wonder if local businesses realize the blessing they have in a local newspaper. Advertising was proven to increase sales many years ago and increased in importance as time went by. At this point in history, every successful business allocates a significant part of their budget to marketing.

Newspapers and magazines historically led the way, followed by radio, TV, and internet.

All the new methods are excellent for big population centres and are priced accordingly. TV or

internet are great, but not suitable for little centres who resort to flyers.

Those are mostly tossed before or after the consumer reaches home. We all remember the big trash can full of flyers in the post office.

The one vehicle that carries advertisements effectively to a small town’s audience is the little innocent local paper that most people save and browse through. It tells them why there were sirens last week, where there will be a multi-family garage sale, who passed away and what Joe Blow down the street thinks about politics. Often, when they are looking for the phone number of a local business, they open the paper instead of the phone

book. I know I do.

The “little paper,” with pictures and names of people we know, familiar local events and little league scores, is laughed at and criticised often, but you find it in almost every home, restaurant or motel. You can see by the dogged ears of a paper in a coffee joint that many people read it. One copy presented a local advertisement to dozens of readers, and more are picking it up. Perhaps there are more views of targeted customers than what a business would get on prime time TV, and they can go back and read it again if they wish.

The local paper is not expensive and often offers free art work and no setup fees like the papers

in the city. You can make a phone call or send an email and by next Wednesday, your shelves will be cleared for the new merchandise that was clattering your storage space. Your used vehicles will drive away from the lot by smiling new owners and the “long since listed” old house may display a “sold” sign. Visitors and tourists love to read local newspapers that don’t look like stale tourist information brochures. Locals adore knowing what is being talked about in their community. If you doubt my opinion, try placing an advertisement in this paper and let's see...

Bricks - To the town for blocking off an entire parking area last Thursday. There already is a lack of parking on main street Blairmore and then you block off the entire block from the Gazebo west, for what? I needed to go to the bank and the drug store. I’m a senior and I had absolutely nowhere to park all afternoon. I finally went home. Think about the businesses you hurt when you make decisions to block off an entire block of parking.

Bricks - So you cut the Town Rounder down to two days a week and still block off a huge amount of parking across from Stone’s Throw for a bus pick-up? What’s the reasoning behind that? Come on guys, get it together.

Have one thing or the other.

Bouquets - To the pool staff at the community swimming pool. These kids are amazing, the lessons are awesome and the pool is fantastic. How lucky are we to have such an amazing facility.

Joint review panel approved !

Royal LePage South Country Real Estate Services Ltd. Claire Rogers

Last week was an exciting one for the Riversdale team as we achieved another important milestone in relation to the permitting process for our Grassy Mountain Coal Project. On July 9, 2018, the Alberta Government passed an Order in Council approving the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) entering into an agreement with the Federal Minister of Environment, Canada for the establishment of a Joint Review Panel (JRP) for the Grassy Mountain Coal Project. The signed Order in Council includes the Joint Review Panel Agreement and Terms of Reference, under which the Grassy Mountain Coal Project will be assessed for approval. There has been lots of hard work to get to this point and it’s exciting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (unintentional mining pun).

What are the timelines?

Once established, the JRP will have 14 months to review the EIA report (including supplemental information), conduct a public hearing and prepare a report for the Federal Minister of the Environment. According to the terms of reference, the 14 months does not include time taken

by Riversdale to respond to supplemental information requests.

How can I get involved?

The JRP will notify the public when there are opportunities to participate in the review process.

These will include opportunities to comment on our application, additional information collected as a result of supplemental information requests and the ability to apply to participate in the public hearing.

Where can I find more information?

The JRP will be responsible for disseminating information about the review process. As information becomes available, we will update the Riversdale website with the most up to date developments. We will also continue to hold municipal updates, send out a quarterly newsletter, distribute email blasts and be available to chat at our office and at many events around town.

Speaking of more information, we will be having another round of information booths on July 25 and 26 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Riversdale office at 12331 20th Ave, Blairmore. You can also find us at the Crowsnest Community Market for the summer!

Claire Claire will be writing a bi-weekly column talking about what’s ‘on the go’ with Riversdale and answering FAQs. Have a question?

Sinister 7 high school team places 9th out of 182 mixed teams AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Seven teenagers, all aged between 12 and 19 years old, ran as a team in the Sinister 7 Ultra over the July 7 weekend and finished in 9th place out of 182 teams in the “mixed” category, making the 100-mile ultra/relay race across remote Alberta backcountry seem like, well, child’s play.

Each year, Sinister Sports, the organizing body

of the ultra race, sponsors a high school team to compete. This year, Child’s Play - made up of Libbey Wilmot, 14, Maggie Gietz, age 12, Anna Koevoet, 19, Gage Paskiewich, age 17, Baden Clossen, 15, Noah Schuh, 16 and Marin Anderson, age 12 - represented the high school team.

It was the youngest high school team ever and yet, they set a record among prior years for being first to complete the course in under 18 hours since the race became 100 miles (with a time of 17:58:27).

Behind the team was a dedicated group of parents, friends and local athletes that helped build, shape and motivate the teens.

“This was our first year where I felt that everybody was so committed. Training went amazing, we didn’t have any injuries, and we had a group of kids who all were in it for the right reasons and were connected with what it means to be out in the mountains. They all got along and supported each other really well," says head coach Jody Peebles.

This was Peebles’ first time as head coach, although she played a support role for the last seven years.

Training started about six months out from the race, in January 2018.

“We do some tryouts where we push them super hard, almost to test them to see what they’re capable of and how resilient they are.

Their resiliency, their perseverance and their character are more important to us than whether or not they can already run very far because that’s what it takes for a race like this,” says Peebles.

For the first four to five weeks, training involved a lot of a lot of strength and high-intensity interval exercises and then each athlete got an individual plan based on what leg of the race they were anticipated to run. They trained three to four times a week on their own and once as a team where the runners, along with coaches and trainers, did some sort of group workout together, like a long run or snowshoe.

“They have to be super independent and super committed for it to work.

You can tell when an athlete hasn't been doing the workouts they were supposed to do on their own because they start to get injured or they can’t keep up," says Peebles.

About three months out, they started meeting twice a week to train as a team, in addition to their solo workouts.

And when it came down to race day, July 7, trusting in their training plan, their fitness, and even themselves was critical in their success.

“I was quite well prepared,” says 17-year old Gage Paskiewich, who ran Leg 4. “You have to be in the state that you want to do it. If you don’t want to do it, then you won’t do it.”

This was Anna Koevoet’s sixth time running in Sinister 7, and her third time completing Leg 3, also called Satan’s Sack for being a dry, hot and exposed leg of the race.

“Leg 3 is super fun. It wasn’t super hot like in past years, which was very nice but it was still challenging. I tried to race smart rather than aggressively and have trust in the training that we had done,” says Koevoet, who actually joined in the training in May after she completed school. Sinister Sports allows for one-year high school alumni to join the team.

Being the oldest of the group and being more experienced than the other runners, Koevoet acted as a mentor to hear teammates, of which only Leg 6 runner Noah Schuh had partici-

pated in the race before.

“Experience really paid off and to have that knowledge after having raced that many times really helped the team,” she says.

One of the youngest team members, Marin Anderson, ran home run to the finish line. The last leg of the race is usually completed in the dark so local athlete Andrew Fairhurst shadowed her to the finish.

“The moment at finish line, running through with all my teammates following me even though it was 1 in the morning, all of the parents cheering... That was the best moment for me,” says Anderson.

For Peebles, coaching the team was near to her heart. Being a runner herself - and running in a team in seven Sinister races – Peebles knew just how positive an impact the challenge can have on a teen.

"For me, [participating in Sinister 7 has] had a huge impact on my life, just in having a community that you can connect with and something that really encourages healthy, active living. I think it’s really good for kids to learn that they can do really hard things,” she says. “When they tackle something like this and they’re successful and they make it through even though it was super, super hard, they have a resiliency that they realize that they can actually do these hard things and make it through."

Sinister Sports has been sponsoring a high school team ever since the second running of the Sinister 7 Ultra, and it all came down to getting young people more involved.

“My former co-director and I were thinking of ways to get the community more involved, and we agreed that we would like to do something to support young athletes,” says race director Brian Gallant. “I recalled my own athletic endeavours in school. I personally only had basic track and field options at that age, and I thought it would be great to challenge students with a big event like Sinister 7, to give them the chance to compete alongside world-class athletes. It is really fulfilling to see these young people put in so much time, and then step up to crush this incredibly difficult race.”

Sinister Sports also provides a $500 scholarship to a graduating student, as well as an additional $1,200 in support to the Athletic and Academic Society.

“It’s important to me that young people are inspired and challenged,” says Gallant, “and I just hope that I can help make that happen in some way.”

A most interesting conversation with an American on vacation Avner Perl Waterton Herald

I was having lunch on the main street in Waterton under a blooming flower basket and found myself talking with a couple who were wearing interesting hats. Soon, I discovered that the person talking was an American visitor employed by a company that manufactures the hats. A surprise to me, since I believed that these kind of goods were all made in China these days, but they weren’t.

Yes, he said, this factory did move to China at some point, but it came back some time ago. He is optimistic that more and more corporations will do the same sooner or later.

The price, he said, is no longer everything, and

there is a new feeling of loyalty developing. The American public is willing to spend a little more to support “made in America.” Maybe people already have too much stuff and now they are beginning to consider the well-being of their nation ahead of savings. That, to me, he said, is what “America First” is all about.

The fellow was the most eloquent hat-maker I ever met, but then, I never met a hat maker before. He said that people are buying things off the internet and they favor fast delivery times. If you make it here, you can ship it to them almost as soon as they sign the bill. Also, his much less talkative wife chimed in, we get a lot of things cheaply from

China, but we see our towns and cities becoming poor places as we used to see overseas. We are now employed, and we can spend money and afford a holiday like this one.

The hat-maker was not concerned about the situation with NAFTA being renegotiated at all.

It is a big concern in Canada these days. As far as I am concerned, he said, if we all start to place tariffs on each others’ products, everything will become more expensive and we will all be in the same boat. It will be hard for a while until we adjust. Probably NAFTA was not the best for most of you Canadians in the first place. He leaned closer and said, you and I remember life before

NAFTA, and it wasn’t all that bad. Only the big exporters and importers make more money on those deals, but us little guys just work for a living. If I buy my things for a higher price, but my neighbor makes the extra buck, he will probably buy my things, and we will both be okay. Now that we are working again and may even have some pension, we can afford a little more.

I am not an economist, but I lived in Canada through the time before the free trade deal and right through it.

From my narrow point of view, I saw the decimation of little businesses and farms, and people moved towards big industries such as steel.

Now, we are held hostage and forced to move our factories next door to provide more jobs over the border and less here. If we wish to keep jobs here, we are told to give up the livelihood of most of our farmers and become fully dependent on the US for our food production. The hat-maker made more sense than the political leaders.

I was glad that I had

the opportunity to talk with this American couple, even without knowing their names or even which state they live in.

He left with his wife, both wearing hats such as I have never seen before, but I may try to buy one, free trade or not. What an opportunity to hear the real people’s opinions on a regular Waterton day.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Could I be a feminist?

Rocky View hosts VBS The Rocky View Church of God in Christ Mennonite hosted their vacation bible school (VBS) from July 9 to 13 for the 23rd summer and this year, they had 37 kids enrolled between the ages of 4 adn 14. Pictured above is the K1 and K2 class doing a clay activity.

Sole Survivor Runners of all ages took on a 10k, 5k and a 2.5k at the annual Sole Survivor Trail Race that took off from Pete’s Park in Blairmore on Saturday, July 14. Pictured above are the 10, runners seconds after the start. Check out solesurvivor.ca for race results.

Anna Kroupina

My daughter, a mother of three, doesn’t like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The main reason is that he is prancing around saying, “I am a feminist.”

Generations of women before my daughter fought a hard battle to get the right to vote and she is basing her vote of not liking a politician for not being masculine enough for her taste. Her confusion is based on mixing up feminist with being feminine. She is also upset that Trudeau showed concern for the environment. Living in oil-rich Alberta, she thinks that his “weakness” can cost us jobs. She wants a government that caters to oil interest, not to environmentalists.

I watched the feminist movement fight and win some measure of equality for women in my younger days.

When I started my working career, it was legal to exclude females from professional advancement, and women were often paid less for work of equal value. It has changed and now it is forgotten.

When I was barely out of my teen years, it was common to employ women for a fraction of men’s wages (often 40 percent less) assuming that they were only working for pocket money while men were the providers.

Often, the women worked harder and longer than men, but were barred from high-paying jobs. This was corrected by the fight of feminists, but there is more left to do. Now, a declared feminist politician! is not welcomed in large portions of the country where rugged individualism is the norm. People hate Trudeau without asking why he is the way he is.

A study was done by the University of Iowa looking at how women ! to benevolent sexism. They found react that women enjoy men who offer their coat if a woman is cold, open doors for them and protect them from aggressors. Girls disagreed with people saying that they wouldn’t work for a woman supervisor or trust a female CEO. Some “strong men” get satisfaction from physically and emotionally beating women; a few call it love.

Tough love it is.

I am a “lefty” by many people’s assessment. I would pay a woman who is shoveling dirt the same wage as I would pay a man. I would pay people who work, enough so that they can pay rent, eat and feed their kids regardless of their gender. I wasn’t always like this.

I was a moral person all my life, but I learned a way to overrule moral decisions. My boss took me aside one

time and told me: you are in a position financed by taxpayers who expect you to save them money and provide the best service possible. You can live your life as you wish, but make business decisions based on business rules. Your loyalty is to your investors, and they demand that you make business decisions based on finance, not on feelings.

There was a time that I scheduled people for short shifts at work so that they would not become full-time employees and be owed benefits. I had a budget, and I saved by taking advantage of workers to make the budget stretch further. I laid people off so they would not become “permanent employees.” I hired private companies who didn’t follow safety regulations to do jobs that our regulated union workers couldn’t do for the same price.

One day, a young single mother whose car just broke down said to me, “I would do anything to get more hours.” She had tears in her eyes. I found more work for her, and I changed my politics. Business crossed the line! I was helping business and business was becoming abusive towards good people. I guess I am a weak lefty feminist after all. Perhaps I shouldn’t live in a place where rugged males rule letting the economy dictate the rules based on profits for the company, government, municipality or whoever else is employing people only for gains, not for social concerns.

Thank God I am now retired and no longer must say, business is business.

At this stage of my life, I have time to reflect on why the world is the way it is and do I like it to continue this way. I have my vote and my pen, or computer, in this case. I can tell people why I think the way I do and listen to why they chose another way. Mostly, they choose not to talk about it.

My daughter may not vote for a feminist Liberal or for a female Democrat. I would not want the responsibility of telling her who to vote for anyway. I just hope that she takes in consideration who may be hurt if she votes for rugged business type individuals. I hope that she considers who the tough leader is really working for and see if it is going to help or worsen the lives of most people around her. If they are young professionals like her, I will hope she will consider where they would have all been if it wasn’t for the progressive movements like feminism that her elders fought for. I am not a feminist by definition but I am old, and I remember. I care, a lot, about those who are placed in impossible situations while others play tough, sometimes for just to show strength.

I am a family man, a Christian, a patriot, in that order. To me the “feminine” is as important as the “masculine.”

Greyhound Canada to cease operations across Alberta AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

In a statement released on July 9, 2018, Greyhound Canada announced that the intercity coach services will discontinue operations in all provinces except Ontario and Quebec effective October 31, 2018.

According to the statement, ridership in Alberta has dropped by 40 percent since 2010 and is the primary reason prompting the closure.

“Greyhound Canada has proudly provided service on Alberta’s roadways for decades. Since 2010 however, market

conditions for intercity transportation services have become increasingly challenging. We sympathize with the many small towns and rural areas such as Blairmore, where we have proudly provided service, but simply put, we can no longer operate unsustainable routes,” says Peter Hamel, Regional VicePresident, Western Canada with Greyhound Canada.

According to statistics obtained by the Pass Herald from Greyhound Canada, between April 2017 and March 2018, there were 206 riders who

purchased tickets originating from Blairmore, and 137 terminating in Blairmore.

The Blairmore loca-

tion is one of the stops along the Calgary to Creston to Kelowna bus route, so all destinations in this route are directly accessible from the Crowsnest Pass station. In Alberta, this includes major towns between

Crowsnest Pass along Highway 3 through to Crankbrook, and then south through Creston and back up to Castlegar.

In a release on July 11, 2018, Premier Rachel Notley said she will raise Greyhound Canada clo-

sure in Western Canada at a meeting of premiers in New Brunswick this week.

“Given its urgency, I will be raising this issue at the Council of the Federation with a view to working on common solutions with my fellow Premiers and the federal government to ensure western Canadians, particularly those living in rural areas, including many Indigenous communities, have access to the transportation services they deserve,” said the statement.

“Greyhound’s decision this week to suspend services throughout West-

ern Canada significantly diminishes transportation options for hundreds of Canadians throughout our region, potentially harming the economy and quality of life for tens of thousands of people.”

There is no other public bus service departing from Crowsnest Pass that could take riders to nearby metropolitan areas.

Red Arrow Motorcoach is an operational Alberta bus company that services rural areas like as Fort Macleod and Claresholm, but they have no routes in Southwest Alberta.

Sculptor donates new archway to Bellevue Mine AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

The drive along paved road leading to the Bellevue Underground Mine was a somewhat lackluster experience that didn’t quite reflect just how engaging and fascinating a tour of the mine actually is.

But now, after two and a half weeks of work, an ornate 16-foot wood archway signals and welcomes visitors as they’re driving down to the mine.

Bellevue Underground Mine board member Don Harvey has been working to have the project completed for the past several years in the hopes that it will attract visitors to stop at the mine and Crowsnest Pass.

“I really have a passion for the mine and promoting the area. Every chance I get to make something in Bellevue or in the Pass, I'm pushing for it. So to everybody who drives by and says they can’t find the entrance to the Bellevue Underground Mine, when they by drive now, they’ll see it because it’s 16 feet in the air,” says Harvey.

The sculptor behind the work of art is Darren Jones, who donated his skill and time to produce the piece for the mine and took a month off work from his regular job as an operation manager for a geothermal mine in Turkey to work on the archway.

Jones has been sculpting for about 22 years – a passion and

hobby that’s a “stress reliver from the oil patch”, he laughs - and the archway isn’t his first project for the Bellevue Mine.

Back in 2010, he carved the miner for the centennial anniversary of the Bellevue Mine explosion that took 31 lives in 1910, also a donation of his time and a donation of the tree by a local family.

“I love this mine. I like the people and I like the fact that the community supports it. I see what they're building, which is wonderful. It’s keeping track of the history of the Pass and being from Southern Alberta, I have a respect for the Pass. My participation makes me feel like part of the community, also,” says Jones, who grew up in Picture Butte and says he remembers the Pass

back when “it was black” from the operating coal mines.

The archway sits on two tree trunks standing 16 feet tall. It’s carved out of a Douglas Fir that was donated by Spray Lake Sawmills.

As Harvey explains, Douglas Fir are rare trees that the loggers don’t usually harvest except for when they are obstructing construction plans.

The intricate details in the archway tell the history of Crowsnest Pass and the 1910 way of coalmining.

Little coalmining carts pulled by pit ponies are carved on the right side of the archway and the Pass’ quintessential crows flank the archway. Tiny solar lights are installed across the beam, illuminating the inside of the mine at dark,

creating a captivating sensation that the carved coalminers in their blue apparel are actually moving.

The back and outside of the arch are stained and oiled, and the inside detail is airbrushed with colour and sealed with urethane to encapsulate the paint.

Harvey found the sculptor by accident while visiting an aunt in Bentley, Alberta. As soon as he saw Jones’ work in a yard, he scouted out the artist and invited him to do some work for the Bellevue Mine.

Even before Jones completed the miner tribute eight years ago, there was already talk about him doing another piece and it took several years to get the right log and legal documents in place to allow him to create the

12 – CROWSNEST PaSS hERald – Wednesday, July 18, 2018

Young entrepreneurs (Left to right) Emilee, Sam and Nadine put on their business hats and set up a lemonade stand on the corner of 129 Street and 20 Avenue in Blairmore on Wednesday, July 11. They squeezed the juice out of 20 lemons (yes, they counted!), added sugar and water and sold cups of the refreshing drink for $1. The girls didn’t know what they were going to do with the money yet, but they sure did get excited whenever they made a sale.
