Quick reponse stops house fire

Herald Contributor photo

The Crowsnest Fire and Rescue services responded to a house fire at a single-family residence in Blairmore on Wednesday, August 28. Fire Chief Jesse Fox says the response to the fire was extremely quick which aided in limiting the damage to the home. Firefighters stayed on scene once the fire was out to ensure there was no further heat or smoke remaining before letting the residents back inside. The fire is believed to have started due to a wood-burning stove but the exact cause is still under investigation. Fox says he encourages everyone who has wood burning appliances such as fireplaces or stoves, to have them regularly cleaned and serviced by qualified professionals.

Kootenay Tae Kwon Do starting up DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Kootenay Tae Kwon Do is getting ready for another season in the Crowsnest Pass. The group trains at two different levels with both a junior class and senior class options for participants. Sant Saran, an 8th Degree Black Belt Master and Head Instructor, says any-

one can join no matter the skill level. “We teach people age 5 and up. They can join anytime. We always start in September and they don't need any previous experience. We teach them everything they need to know.” Saran says that Kootenay Tae Kwon Do has been training in the Pass for 45 years. Over that time, Kootenay Tae Kwon Do has medalled 12 times in the World Cup Championships. Saran says the success of their season plays a role in how long they go. “We train from September until the end of April or May. It depends if

we go to the World Cup.” Athletes who join Kootenay Tae Kwon Do are given the possibility of seeing different parts of the country and world over the many different events they attend. “We go to Westerns, Nationals and we go to the World Cup. I've taken my students to about seven different countries over the years. They get quite the experience.” Saran says that most of the exposure the group gets is through word of mouth and hopes that more people will hear about it and begin attending. Saran isn’t able to do it all by himself though and receives a lot of help

from Gena Paton, a 5th Degree Black Belt and his fellow instructor. Paton also joins Saran on the different trips with the students. Kootenay Tae Kwon Do trains in the MDM Center in Bellevue and will begin this year’s season on September 16th from 6-7:30pm. They meet every Monday and Wednesday following. For people who would like to sign up, there will be a registration night at the MDM Center on September 11th from 68pm. People curious about Kootenay Tae Kwon Do can also contact Master Saran at 250-425-2044.

The Simple Raven’s Post by Avner Perl

Is Credit Limit “Heaven”? I don’t watch much TV but the news interests me. Lately, there is a marketing campaign on the news, advertising an App for checking credit rating or score. In the commercial people in ordinary life discover that their credit limit is higher than they knew. Next, you see them spending, on vacations, new vehicles or apartment rental like billionaires. There is no mention of the payback time when they will work and suffer. It makes me sick to see people fooled this way. The ad doesn’t tell us how to get a better life, only to borrow and have a temporary sample of a good life. I have seen some individuals, even governments, borrow to start businesses or even kick start a sluggish economy. I am in favor of borrowing if it will pay back later. Yet the motto of the late seventies, “Fly Now, Pay Later” which Chargex (Visa) used to advertise, offends my sensibility. Most people, who are probably addicted to something, will agree that addictions are bad. There are substance addictions like alcohol, drug abuse, smoking and process addictions like sexual, shopping, eating, spending, gambling and I could probably write a whole page just listing the names. In my opinion, our overall worst addiction is to have instant gratification regardless of the consequence. It includes all the others. There is a good reason for the line in the Lord’s prayer that says “Lead us not into temptation.” The best gifts that humans received from the Creator are birth and death. I woke up one time without remembering falling to sleep and cried. I was born and began my training on how to be human. As I learned, my body grew and so did my relationships and material possessions. I seem to have always known that it is all temporary which made it precious. If there was no death, I wouldn’t have enjoyed every stage in my life. In the end, I will go to sleep again without knowing where I will wake up. I already did have a near-death experience and it was not bad at all. If you believe that we have only one life, as many people now do, you should plan to make it pleasant. It will not happen if you mortgage the future for an instant of pretending that you are rich. You must work hard and smart towards making enduring changes and resist the urge to pretend that you are rich and pay for it later.

YOUR choice for auto body repair.

When we are addicted we want something above all else. Often it’s clear to our minds that it is temporary and the mind will want more. The more we fight it the stronger is the pull towards it and we face the fear of losing whatever it is that gives us pleasure or relief. We need to be liked, or loved. In the case of addiction to consuming, food, goods or even services, we are fighting the knowledge that there will be an end. The addiction will demand more, and more is simply not available. More will kill the body that wants it. The next step is to deny what we know is true and reaffirm it by trying to convince others. Our communities and families these days lack the closeness and intimate relationships which existed up to my generation. We try to mimic it by using new technology but it doesn’t. Starving for something, which is hard to identify, we feed our hunger with addiction to pleasure on credit as if there was no tomorrow. People will not survive if everyone cares only about the short-lived gains borrowing against the future without care. Our aim should not be to fake being special for a little time but to make all of us enjoy life in a permanent and lasting way. We can do it using our creative power but we must be responsible. We are responsible to ourselves and to all future generations. When a human spends all future earnings for something that will not last, he or she will be tempted to get more by taking what should belong to others. When someone obtains more than their own share, they will feel obliged to protect it by any means they can. Those who pay the price will keep working towards equality and eventually win. There is no limit to how much we can spend or to how many things we could get if we had the means. Now when I am old and I have most of what I need, I feel like there is no need to obtain more. Perhaps I can replace some things but mostly I am happy with what I have. There is no way to have all the things that everyone else has. What about the younger people who don’t have what I do? Back I go in my mind to the times when I didn’t have a lot. The time when I arrived in a new country with the contents of one suitcase. Step by step I began accumulating things that I needed as much as my little pay for my work would provide. Now I look at the young generation and see them much better off than I was and see them borrowing up to their credit limit to travel and have a good time. I know that they will have to go long periods of working without rewards to pay for what they borrowed and I am not feeling good about it. Some will find ways to increase their income but most will not. Real income didn’t increase in thirty years or more but prices did. It was paid by credit and credit is limited to what one can pay. I see people waiting for retirement. Fewer people now have pensions and with strong objections to increasing taxes, pensions may not go up. What will happen?

Fortis continuing upgrade to Pass power lines \ DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

FortisAlberta is moving into phase two of their electrical distribution system conversion in the Crowsnest Pass. The power company began the operation of the Municipality’s electric system in November of 2015 and had their acquisition approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission in 2018. Since then, Fortis has begun upgrading the current system in the Pass. In September of 2018, FortisAlberta began their first phase, which saw a new power line built from an existing line on the north side of highway 3 near Blairmore. That phase was done to align the system in the Pass to their electrical standards and also created an alternate power source for the customers in the area. Tanya Croft, Marketing Advisor, Customer Experience and Communications for FortisAlberta, says they are beginning phase two.

“Right now, this is the second of our multiphase upgrade to the Crowsnest Pass. This is to improve service reliability and tie the system into our automated control centre. Now, the work being done this week is continuing with the distribution system conversion. For this phase in particular, the area affected will be between 18th and 19 avenue and 132 and 135 street.” Croft says that the work being done isn’t too complex but it will take some time to complete. “We're just upgrading and replacing power poles. The reason it's impacting customers is because a lot of those poles are actually on people's front yards, so that restoration that's taking place will impact certain customers when we do that work in the area. We expect this phase to be wrapped up by the end of September.” Any customers who are in the area of the work will be notified by Fortis during the process.

“Any customers that are impacted by any specific work on their property will be contacted through our contact care centre as well as our crews are around the area right now and are going door to door advising customers of the work they are doing.” Croft says that they have just over 50 customers that will be impacted by this phase of the project. There will be a couple small power outages as the phase is completed. “There will be one short outage so that we can disconnect the lines safely and then when they go to re-energize the new lines, there might be a second outage for a few of the customers and they'll be notified of that as well.” As for why this work is being completed, Croft says it needed to be done for a couple different reasons. “When we took over the Crowsnest Pass, a lot of the assets were at the

end of their life, which means after a certain amount of time, a power pole needs replacement and they start to degenerate themselves. This is just us being proactive and upgrading the system so that it's as reliable as it can be and so that it can tie into our control centre system that we use for a lot of our restoration and maintaining the grid. We do this ongoing

throughout all of our operating area. We just looked at this when we took over in the Crowsnest Pass as an opportunity to upgrade that system that would have needed upgrades to improve the service reliability.” As for future work in the Pass, Croft says there will be more coming but the exact timeframe is unknown at

this point in time. “We do have more work coming in the future. We currently don't have a plan for phase 3. We're just looking at that scope of work and timelines. We'll certainly be in touch with all the stakeholders when we come up with a plan but it will probably be more in the spring of next year.”

Editorial and Opinions my thoughtS on Safe ConSumptIon SIteS Well guys this one is going to be a dandy in the editorial department this week. The other day I was at Bert and Mac’s in Lethbridge to buy hockey equipment for Quinn and as I’m sitting in the truck a fellow comes up banging on my window asking for money. He was obviously high on something and I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. After asking him to leave, which he did, I realized that I was parked right outside the safe consumption site (SCS) in Lethbridge. For those of you who don’t know what the SCS is the following is the mandate of the site according to their website: “SUPERVISED CONSUMPTION SERVICES AT ARCHES INCLUDE: A medically supervised consumption room with thirteen injection booths and two supervised inhalation rooms A monitoring space – after consumption, individuals are monitored for negative reactions to their drugs Nursing staff that can respond to overdoses”. Interested I start reading about what’s going on in the little city in which I spent six wonderful years going to university. These are stats: since the site opened in March 2018 it is averaging 663 visits per day (21,000 per month) making it the busiest consumption site in North America. It’s interesting when you read about the people both for and against the site. The people in favour talk about saving lives, offering a safe place to do drugs, drugs they would other wise be doing on the streets. They talk about helping people who overdose both inside and outside the building, giving them Narcan@ to reverse the overdose so they don’t die. The people against it talk about the increase in crime, the increase in needles, which the facility supplies and allows the user to take, left in the streets and parking lots. These people feel that the site hurts the surrounding businesses and downtown core. A recent poll by the Lethbridge Herald showed approximately 86 per cent of Lethbridge residents no longer feel safe going to the downtown area. Property values close to the SCS location are plummeting. I hear the argument that the people using the site, while drug addicts, are also the product of trauma, which they mask through the use of drugs. It’s slowly becoming a boiling pot of dissention throughout the city. While I can’t tell you whether or not SCS works I will tell you I have lived with a drug dealer, not knowing at the time he was dealing out of my house, around my family. So when I hear the argument that these sites are needed because drug usage is about an underlying trauma that hasn’t been dealt with and therefore it’s up to society to provide these people with the compassion of a place to do their illegal drugs, I actually just get mad. You want to know what I think about that argument? I say bullshit. Yes bullshit. You can all remember my nephew Ricky that wrote briefly in the paper - you know the one that lived in my home after he was release from federal penitentiary after serving time for impersonating an undercover officer. I gave him a home, gave him a job, made him a part of my kid’s lives. I gave him a way to be around my mom, his grandmother, while she was dying of ALS. I gave him every chance of legitimacy. You know what he did. He took her car and crashed it in a drug haze after picking up drugs from this drug dealer in Calgary ... so back to jail he went. Why? Because he started using again. He attended my mom’s funeral in shackles and chains, accompanied by two police guards. He’s back in federal jail now for weapons charges - several counts from what I’ve been told Soon, after he was incarcerated someone tried to kill me by hitting me on the head with a 2x4 trying to find his hidden stash that was somewhere buried in my yard. I’m not kidding I can’t even make this stuff up. It’s the story we see in Hollywood movies, except the bruises on my head weren’t there through make-up. Weeks after the attack I’d find myself sleeping in front of my door, no clue how I got there. I think I was trying to protect my kids from some unknown threat. It was a dark time in my life that I only got through with some serious therapy. So, these are my thoughts ... drug addicts make choices, like alcoholics make choices. There are rehab centres, there is AA and there are centres to help if one truly wants to get better. Justifying what they are doing based on childhood trauma, then allowing them a site to inject, like its now permissible, makes me angry. We all have had trauma in our lives; it’s how we choose to deal with it that defines who we are. My nephew chose to go back to that way of life, period. These safe injection sites disgust me. Spend that money on rehab locations and psychological treatment not permitted use. That’s my thoughts on safe consumption sites. LS

by David Selles Well, it’s that time of year again. Alarms will be set, large yellow buses will take over the roads and bedtimes will be enforced. With a new school year now in session, I want to take a moment to wish all the teachers and students a successful year. For the teachers, a lot of work goes into helping these students learn and grow throughout the year. My dad is a teacher and my mom is a bus driver and educational assistant and I’ve seen over the years how much work goes into what they do. The amount of dedication and commitment they have to their work is impressive. Whether it’s my mom getting up before the sun ever does to driver her bus or that she spends her days teaching students with disabilities or my dad who now teaches at a smaller school and has multiple grades and subjects, they love what they do and the students they interact with are all the better for it. I hope we all take some time to thank the teachers, principals and all staff of the schools the students attend because their work is helping to shape these kids into who they are. Let’s not forget the students themselves either. The work they put in over the course of the year can be taxing on them. Whether it’s a student scared of entering kindergarten, or a grade 12 student beginning to contemplate what they will do after this year, there are so many distractions and worries that can affect their years. I hope that all students are able to seek out the help they may need and are able to enjoy another school year with friends. Good luck and happy learning to all the students in the Crowsnest Pass and good luck and happy teaching to all the teachers this year.

Look for ways to lower your stress and work on letting go of Alberta Health?Services Consider trying some of these ideas: • Learn different ways to manage your time. You may get more done with less stress if you make a schedule. Think about which things are most important, and do those first. • Find healthy ways to cope. Look at how you have been dealing with stress. Be honest about what works and what does not. Think about other things that might work better. • Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. Eat well. Don't smoke. Limit how much alcohol you drink. • Try new ways of thinking. When you find yourself starting to worry, try to stop the thoughts. Or write down your worries

Golf Course Update Blasting to begin as part of access road construction Submitted

Crowsnest Pass Golf Club is issuing notice that blasting activities will begin as part of the construction for the new access road. The blasting will start over the next few days and will continue throughout September. From Sunday to Friday there are expected to be two blasts each day; one in the morning at approximately 11 a.m. and one in the afternoon at 3 p.m. On Saturdays there will only be one blast at 11 a.m. All blasting activities will be carried out in strict adherence to municipal, provincial and federal regulations. All blasting vibration levels will be carefully planned and monitored to mitigate any potential impact to neighbouring structures. Residents should not expect any impact to traffic or day-today activities. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please email projects@crowsnestpassgolf.com. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. We are very excited to have this last piece of the relocation project completed so we can welcome you to the new course in 2020!

things you cannot change. Learn to say "no." • Speak up. Not being able to talk about your needs and concerns creates stress and can make negative feelings worse. Assertive communication can help you express how you feel in a thoughtful, tactful way. • Ask for help. People who have a strong network of family and friends manage stress better. Sometimes stress is just too much to handle alone. Talking to a friend or family member may help, but you may also want to see a counsellor. Call Health Link at 811 if you need help. How can you relieve stress? • Exercise. Regular exercise is one of the best ways to manage stress. Walking is

a great way to get started. • Write. It can help to write about the things that are bothering you. • Let your feelings out. Talk, laugh, cry, and express anger when you need to with someone you trust. • Do something you enjoy. A hobby can help you relax. Volunteer work or work that helps others can be a great stress reliever. • Learn ways to relax your body. This can include breathing exercises, muscle relaxation exercises, massage, aromatherapy, yoga, or relaxing exercises like tai chi and qi gong. • Focus on the present. Try meditation and imagery exercises. Listen to relaxing music. Try to look for the humour in life. Laughter really can be the best medicine.

Gearing up for hunting season Herald Contributor Hunters provide a necessary service besides keeping game animal numbers within reason. They are the eyes and ears on the ground, and help inform wildlife management decisions. Hunting also generates benefits from hunter-supported organizations like conservation groups, habitat enhancement services and restoration outfits. Hunters require certain gear to ensure safe and productive trips. Here are some must-have items for any hunter's packing list.

We Process All Game! • sausage and jerky available with game orders • cut, wrapped and frozen • cut to your specifications

Hunting knife No hunting expedition is complete without a quality knife, which is an invaluable tool. Knives come in different sizes. Many hunters carry a fixed blade knife to field dress a kill and for self-

defense against larger animals. Every day carry knives, or EDCs, also are another sound investment. EDCs may be paired with other gadgets to form a handy multitool, which is vital in many different applications. Hunting apparel Hunting apparel includes coats, pants, waders, boots, hats, gloves, and much more. Depending on the game to be hunted, attire will be patterned in camouflage to blend into surroundings or blaze orange to set hunters apart and make them more visible to fellow outdoorsmen. Deer cannot distinguish color, so bright orange is commonly worn during deer season. Sales associates from popular outdoor equipment retailers can advise about appropriate

attire. Considerations to habitat and weather should be made. Storage pack Hunters require a lightweight, accessible pack that provides easyto-reach storage. A variety of options are available, and there are even models that have a tree stand work shelf, rifle and bow mount, as well as a removable small items organizer. Binoculars Every hunter can benefit from a good set of binoculars. High-quality binoculars will feature glare- and fog-resistant lenses. Tree stand A tree stand platform gives hunters the advantage of an elevated position, which offers better vantage points and keeps them out of the scent line of prey. Tree stands should be coupled with safety harnesses. Investing in quality hunting equipment can make for a higher success rate and greater comfort while engaging in this popular hobby.

Hunting basics

Herald Contributor

Thousands of people across

North America

find hunting game to be a rewarding pastime. People hunt many different types of animals, but deer are some of the most popular to target. Deer hunting can help to address deer overpopulation in many areas. Hunting requires more than going out with a weapon and targeting deer. Hunters must prepare themselves and purchase the appropriate equipment to protect themselves and make sure they are hunting in adherence to local laws. To begin, hunters should check with their local fish and game organizations to learn about acquiring hunting licences. Licenses will ensure that hunting is being done according to the rules of a particular state, town or province, and establish just how many animals can be taken. Hunters will need to

make

sure

their

firearms or bows are operational

and

clean.

Hunters may also want to invest in tree stands, binoculars, knives, ammunition, hunting blinds, shooting glasses, ear protection, processing kits (for field dressing), and hunting attire. To make themselves more visible to fellow hunters, hunters should wear clothing in blaze orange rather than camouflage. Hunters can visit fishing and game retailers for additional recommendations on gear.

ANDRAYA TRAVERSANO

It is with immense heartache and sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our baby daughter, Andraya Teresa Marie Traversano of Coleman, Alberta who was called back into the arms of our Lord on August 27, 2019 at the tender age of 2 months. Andraya was born on June 13, 2019 in Blairmore, Alberta to proud and loving parents, Dominic & Hanna Traversano. She was beautiful and a wonderful blessing to our family. She would melt your heart with her little smile and giggle. She was most fond of mommy cuddles, daddy tickles and the smiles from her brother and sister. We wonder if our grief will ever lessen but we know for certain that our love for Andraya will always be strong and we pray that we will be reunited with our little angel on the last day. Left to mourn her passing include her family: her mother, Hanna Traversano (nee: McLain); her father, Dominic Traversano; her siblings, Alexxa McLain and Jaxxson Traversano; her Aunty Amanda, Aunty Vicki (Davyn), Aunty Selena (Matt), Uncle Daniel and Uncle Charles; her grandparents, Max & Teresa McLain, Tammy Matlock and Calvin Byrd; her great grandparents, Vic & Darlene Traversano; and several cousins and extended family. She was predeceased by her great grandparents, Jozef & Maria Pakla, Henry & Betty McLain and her great great grandma Ruth McLain. The funeral services commemorating Andraya’s life was held on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at 2pm in the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Blairmore with Fr. Joseph Nagothu as Celebrant. Donations in memory may be directed towards the Calgary Children’s Hospital (www.childrenshospital.ab.ca). Condolences may be registered at (www.fantinsuneralchapel.ca). Fantin's Funeral Chapel entrusted with arrangements. (403) 562-8555.

Obituary

RICHARD BRAZZONI 1949 ~ 2019

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Richard Brazzoni of Bellevue, Alberta on August 28th, 2019 at the age of 69. Richard was born to Joe and Louise Brazzoni on November 28, 1949 here in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. He inherited a solid work ethic while helping his parents run Brazzoni Sundries in Bellevue and went on to become a journeyman electrician, a building operator and a boilermaker for Alberta Health Services. Richard was a humble, selfless giant who took great pride in his children’s accomplishments. Nothing made him happier than spending time with his kids whether it be pacing the floor at sporting events, dogsledding in the cold wet winter of Australia, picking pine needles in the boreal forest or touring every high school in Alberta. Some of Richard’s favorite things included walking his grand dogs in the wildflowers of his acreage, being a pest, meticulously cutting his grass and expertly preparing polenta and meat trays. He also loved to spoil his grand dogs with elaborate treats and had a very special bond with a black lab named Geno. Richard always put his own needs behind those of his family and was very much looking forward to two new grandchildren who are set to arrive in the winter of 2019. He will be desperately missed by all that knew him and even more so by those who never got the chance to meet him.

Obituary

ROY ANTONIO ADOLF LAZZAROTTO JR. Dec. 10, 1953 ~ Aug. 23, 2019

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Roy Lazzarotto Jr. of Bellevue, AB on August 23, 2019. He was 65 years of age. Roy, affectionately know as Junior, was born on December 10, 1953 to proud parents, Roy and Eda Lazzarotto. From an early age he was taught to work hard, to take care of family and friends, and to enjoy life and all its blessings – lessons he would later teach his own children. At seventeen years old, Junior began his career as a second-generation coalminer. He started out working underground, and went on to be a skilled equipment operator. Junior took great pride in being a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19, Bellevue since he was eighteen years old, in his Sentinel Summit #26 Freemasons membership, and in his service with the Bellevue Volunteer Fire Department and the Mine Rescue team. His involvement with these organizations allowed him to give back to the community that meant so much to him. Born and raised in the Crowsnest Pass, AB, Junior had a great appreciation for the outdoors where he spent countless happy hours hunting, fishing, picking mushrooms and camping. Junior’s great sense of humour made him a wonderful storyteller and he told a great joke – even if he didn’t always remember the punch line. He was a very social person who enjoyed visiting and catching up over a Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum. Junior had a good heart and he was the first to offer his help to whoever needed it. Whether sharing his homemade pickles, or assisting seniors in the community, he never missed an opportunity to show his caring nature. More than anything, Junior loved his family. They were his proudest accomplishment and he was never happier than when he was with them. Junior could make you smile just by entering the room. His unmistakable laugh and kind, cheerful spirit will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his spouse, Val Poole of Bellevue, AB; his children, Colt (Daina) Lazzarotto of Lethbridge, AB; Koral (Mitchell Withrow) Lazzarotto of Black Diamond, AB and Kyla (Adam Wilkie) Lazzarotto of Coleman, AB; his grandchildren, Raegan and Abby Lazzarotto; his sisters, Carol (Glen) French of Parksville, BC and Lorna (Marc) Backs of Calgary, AB; his nieces, nephews and extended family; as well as many friends, especially Yolanda Gregory who held a special place in his heart. He was predeceased by his mother, Eda Lazzarotto in 2009 and his father, Roy Lazzarotto Sr. in 2015. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the charity of your choice. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

New Brewery in Blairmore inching closer to opening DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Crowsnest Pass will soon have a new place to enjoy a cold brew that is locally made. The Pass Beer Co. is in the final stages of preparing to open their doors to the public. Co-owner of The Pass Beer Co, Kieran Thomas, says it shouldn’t be too much longer before they’re ready for business. “It will probably be about two more months by the time we get all our licensing and approvals.” Thomas says there will be plenty to enjoy once the doors open.

“We'll have a brewery in the back and in the front we'll have a full service restaurant. It will be mainly wood fire pizzas. We'll have a 60 seat dining room and a 40 seat patio along with a beer gardens.” Thomas says he found his inspiration for this project south of the border. “I do a lot of biking and running in the Pass. I always compare this area to Bend, Oregon. There are 30 breweries in a town the size of Lethbridge. It's heavy into biking, running and the outdoor scene. All those breweries have full beer gardens,

patios and full menus and that's kind of what we felt was missing around here. We want to be able to provide somewhere we can do that so we figured we'd build it ourselves.” Once open, the Pass Beer Co. will provide the full experience for it’s customers. “We're trying to provide the whole experience for people. We didn't want to just do beer. We wanted the full sit down and a large space out front so people can come and actually sit and enjoy a beer with their friends.” While the restaurant adds a lot, the real star of the show will be the lo-

cally brewed beers made on site. Thomas says there will be a decent amount of variety for people when they come in. “We have six serving tanks and 12 taps so we'll have up to 12 different beers. Everything will be brewed here.” Thomas says the hours of operation aren’t set yet as he wants to see what times draw in the most people. “We'll be open every day to start. Depending on seasonality that might change. We'll get a feel for when our busy and slow times are. We'll try to be open as much as we can.”

The Pass Beer Co. is continuing work on their brewery and restaurant. Co-Owner Kieran Thomas says the work should be done sometime over the next couple months. The Pass Beer Co. will brew all of their own beer and will also have a full service restaurant and beer garden as well.

Know the People’s Party of Canada DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter Last week, there was something that caught my eye on twitter and not in a good way. People’s Party of Canada Leader, Maxime Bernier, decided it wasn’t a problem to attack 16year-old Swedish Climate Activist Greta Thunberg on twitter. Now, it’s already a problem that he thought it ok to do this, but it’s amplified by the fact Thunberg has Asperger’s Syndrome. Thunberg first gained popularity after school striking ahead of Sweden’s general election to highlight Climate Change. Thunberg continued striking on Friday’s following the election and other student’s began following suit. Since that time, she has met the Pope, spoken at Davos and has also attended anti-coal protests in Germany. Thunberg has also completed a zero-carbon

voyage across the Atlantic to attend a climate change conference in New York. According to the People’s Party of Canada’s platform on the environment, they don’t believe that humans are responsible for the harm global warming has done to the earth. That’s where the attack comes from. Bernier said in his tweets that Thunberg “is clearly mentally unstable. Not only autistic, but obsessive-compulsive, eating disorder, depression and lethargy and she lives in a constant state of fear,” before adding that she wants everyone to feel the same. Thunberg has said that she wants people to panic and feel the fear she has everyday but that idea comes from her concerns on the environment and is simply stating that everyone should be worried about climate change. Throughout Bernier’s tweets on the subject, he states that Thunberg is pushing a “radical ideology” and that people should stop helping her accomplish it. Bernier goes on to say “my concern is not for Thunberg’s feelings, but for the millions of Canadians and people in other countries who will be poorer, will suffer and have their lives upended if

we let her and the movement she represents impose their radical ideas. Whether or not Thunberg is being manipulated is her and her parents’ problem. She has become an influential figure in a movement that is a threat to our prosperity and civilization. If she wants to play that role, she should be denounced and attacked.” Thunberg has done well at deflecting the hateful messages she’s received over the last number of weeks and recently posted on her twitter saying “When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!” Other politicians have also clapped back at Bernier. Former Ontario Liberal environment minister Glen Murray had this to say. “What is Maxime Bernier so afraid of? He fails to challenge one scientific fact or idea that Thunberg is advocating for and then attacks her character and mental health. She is advocating for the implementation of the UN IPCC scientist’s recommendations. Hardly Radical.” He finished by adding this final quote. “But what about Mr.

Pastors Pen: by pastor Billy Karasz In this edition of the Pastors pen it is just simply a writing giving thanks to all congregations as they are close together and are like family when you look at it. Enjoy and see you next month!!

My Congregation In times of my, doubts and fears, when the world brought me to tears, as I sat quietly feeling alone and unloved, meek and weak and very flawed and I felt I couldn’t go on, I wipe away my falling tears and humbly hit the floor on bended knee and say Thank You !! You restored my smiles and carried me many long hard miles. You mean the world to me, this congregation is very special. It means the world to me, It gives me a strong foundation, A very secure place to be, because of your love. When I have felt threatened, you sheltered me from the storm. Many Individual bricks placed by loving hands Make up our solid form. Our church walls echo with sounds of laughter,. and warmth emits from every person You are my founda-

Bernier who stormed out of the Con. party after failing to convince them of his ideas? He then formed a far right wing party that denies basic science, is hyper nationalist, ignores the environmental crisis and bullies opponents. Who is the radical?” In my opinion Mr. Bernier, whether or not you believe humans are responsible for climate change doesn’t give you the right to attack and minimize a person with a genuine disability who is raising awareness for something she believes in. There are far more reasonable ways to stand up for what you believe in rather than attacking someone for their beliefs. It’s a sad fact that there are more people like Bernier out in our world who truly believe that responding to anyone the way he did is acceptable. The fact that responses like this are done by people hoping to represent an entire country makes it even worse. I don’t know if we’ll ever reach the day humans with differing opinions will simply have a conversation, but I sure hope that we can at least stop belittling other people because they don’t believe the same thing we do.

tion. You mean the world to me. This structure is my family, A very secure and wonderful place to be. Thank you... For standing by me through thick and thin, For your patience when I kept pushing you away, For caring when I said I didn't need you anyway. I am grateful knowing... I can count on your strength, Ask for your support and know you'll go to any length. When I lose my way, You help me get back on track. When in pain, Your comfort soothes and brings me back. I am lucky because... When I was sad, you gave me faith and hope. When I was confused, you taught me how to cope., For your guidance and the faith you've shown, For giving me a safe place where I have grown. To my Congregation THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!
