Highway 3 route passed by council DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Council was presented with a recommendation from Administration to support the Highway 3 Functional Planning Study. In 2017, ISL Engineering, who are under conto Alberta 6tract Transportation, began work on completing the functional planning study to upgrade Highway 3 from Sentinel to Pincher Station. This study was done along with a section of the Highway from Barnwell to Burdett and both studies are now under review for adoption by the Ministry. These two studies, along with previous studies, will complete the planning phase from Sentinel to Medicine Hat, excluding the stretch through Brocket. These studies, were done to address safety, capacity, highway access, right-of-way needs, staging and upgrading costs. The studies also considered impacts to local roads, utilities, environmental and historical re-

sources as well as roadside development plans to provide recommended measures to avoid or mitigate these impacts. Under the direction of steering committees of municipal and department resources, the study teams developed recommended plans after robust consultation, with input from stakeholders, regulators, First Nations, landowners, public open houses and evaluation by workshop participants. The recommendations represent best achievable outcomes, given the many competing interests. The study recommendations will inform future development plans and management of access requests as well as provide the technical basis for right-of-way acquisition and eventual improvements, when future funding becomes available. Twinning this or other sections of Highway 3 is not currently on the provincial construction program, however this becomes a possibility once the study is approved. After this information was presented to council, discussion began. Mayor Painter began by recommending this topic be discussed further in a future GPC meeting. “I would certainly like to see this come forward to a GPC meeting where we could all sit down with the folk that were provided to us and go over this from one end to the other so that we're all on the same page.” Councillor Lundy then brought up that this has been something that’s been on the municipality’s radar for a long time and that he would like this to move forward with some conditions. “We've been at this game for in excess of 50 years. It's time to move forward in my mind. I think any approval should be with conditions, one of them being noise mitigation along the residential areas, another being increased road right of way in Frank so that we're not seeing 1,000 cars go by a residential house on a daily basis. Instead of the province taking a half a block, they should be taking much more than

that. It allows the residents to look at relocating whether it's in Frank or someplace else. I'd also like to see a limit placed on the truck route of 90km/h as opposed to 110km/h.” Councillor Filipuzzi then gave his take on the situation. “This process has been quite lengthy. At the

to find a route or a plan that satisfies every person.” After the discussion had ended, Councillor Ward made a motion that council approves a letter of support for the Highway 3 Functional Planning Study. Councillor Lundy then asked for a friendly amendment to the motion

“I think the main purpose here is to approve the study. We might not see any work done in the next 20-30 years but at least there's a footprint for when they start again. I'd also like to see that we still push for what we've requested with the lights in the interim.” - Doreen Glavin - Councillor, Municipality of Crowsnest Pass

last presentation ISL gave to us, for me it became apparent that there were other alternative routes that were proposed in the past but because of new regulation, new restrictions and other challenges, we ended up with the route we have now. I don't see us being able to change this route so I have to agree with Councillor Lundy that it's time for this community to move on. This has handcuffed our community for many years. I agree with putting conditions on it but I will support the letter of support to move this project forward.” Councillor Glavin agreed that it’s also time to move forward with this. “I think the main purpose here is to approve the study. We might not see any work done in the next 20-30 years but at least there's a footprint for when they start again. I'd also like to see that we still push for what we've requested with the lights in the interim.” Fellow councillors agreed with Councillor Glavin and they will continue to push for the upgrades to the highway they have requested. Councillor Ward then discussed what he thinks council should do with this topic. “We've talked and talked and talked about this. It's time to move on. One more meeting on this isn't going to change a thing. I think we're all fully aware of what's on the table. We're not going

that included asking for noise mitigation, a larger right-of-way in Frank to allow for 21 Avenue to be properly developed, a lower truck route speed of 90km/h and also to require retention ponds for any river crossings so there is no deterioration of the waterways. After some discussion, Councillor Ward agreed to accept some type of noise mitigation, whether it be walls or some other type of mitigation and also agreed to ask for environmental standards to be followed along waterways but did not agree for a larger right of way in Frank and did not agree to a lower truck route speed for a couple of reasons. "I don't want to chew up more of Frank than we have to. In the presentation we had they'll be taking enough land throughout the Crowsnest Pass without asking for more. On the speed limits, this whole highway will be done at national standards and I don’t think they'll give us a special speed." After some more discussion, Councillor Lundy was willing to accept what Councillor Ward agreed to add in his motion and the motion was carried with the only member of council not voting in favour being Mayor Painter. Council will now begin the process of sending a letter of support for the Highway 3 Functional Planning Study.

Reminder to residents of computer scams, credit cards scams, Grandparent scams, Revenue Canada scams asking for money or cash cards and saying warrants out for arrest, do not give out personal information to persons you don't know.

Be aware of a new scam. Victims get phone calls from someone pretending to be from Service Canada or another government agency saying their social insurance number (SIN) has been blocked, compromised or suspended. The call might be one of the latest variations on caller ID in which fraudsters disguises the number seen on the ID display in order to trick victims into answering phone. The person will ask for SIN and other personal info, such as date of birth, address, etc. Victims who provide personal info are at risk of identity fraud.

Somebody pushed me very hard from behind and we both fell onto the side of the road. A huge shiny blade of a grader passed inches above my face tearing my sign which said: “legal Strike, Union local #” off the stick I still held in my hand and a rough voice shouted above the diesel motor noise. You guys stay out of the way or someone will get killed. The big tire came pretty close to my foot. I was a new employee and didn’t even fully understand why we were on strike, but we were and I just about became a victim of it. It was my first and last strike. Not long after that, I became a low-level supervisor, and we were being trained on how to treat workers as a part of the organization and our services and industries flourished. I was able to work and complete a University degree paying $100 per semester. We had a good government in Edmonton. The province was booming and saving money for later. The first time that I have heard about “The Crowsnest Pass” was in a history lecture at U of C where they played a little film about miners' strikes. Much later I viewed a similar film at “The Interpretive Centre” and recognized that here was a place with a history of people fighting for their rights. The years went by and lately, I see a rise in strikes and demonstrations. From my knowledge, I deduct that the world is on fire for many reasons. Anti-government demonstrations in many places are happening and people are being killed. Hong Kong, Chile, England, France, and the Middle East are only a few. Now and then the strikes and demonstrations are turning into full-blown civil wars and strikes are vicious and long. GM strike last month was seven weeks. Not long ago we had our postal workers' strike and lately, unrest in Ontario was alarming. The provincial government did a complete turnabout and is trying to rebrand itself. Student unrest is spreading all over the place mostly around ecological issues this far. I watch around and see the potential for the unrest to spread into economic issues. There is nothing new here. by Avner Perl We travelled this road before many times. Here in Alberta, the young people’s rights to minimum wages were rolled back. Next, the freeze on tuition fees was taken off coupled with a reduction of learning facilities budgets and then the big crunch. A reduction through attrition of all social services, hospitals, schools, and civic services. Today’s students will graduate with high student loans debts into an economy that is being rolled back and slowed down. The graduates will have to be underemployed or move back with their parents. Combine this with a shortage of affordable housing, and the fact that a lot of students expected jobs related to the diminishing oil industry, (25% of our local economy) and you got trouble. A waitress told me, “they created thousands of jobs and I got three of them. I still can’t afford the rent.” I predict a much-heightened level of civil unrest in the near future. We live in a land of plenty but all of our efforts are being channeled towards supporting a single industry which is doomed, not immediately but soon. Every forest fire or hundred-year flood hastens its end. While our leaders are using political pressure in an attempt to resolve the fight against the oil industry, they ignore the people who demanded the action. Already millions of people are out in the streets pressuring us to change. They are environmentalists, first nations and lately our own kids. They don’t want to be consulted, they want action. We will find out that foreigners are financing anti-pollution movements, but the environmentalists will discover that foreigners are owning our oil and are protecting their investments. We wouldn’t care but now we are being forced to pay for the shortfall in their revenues and protests and strikes will happen. We are being conscripted to fight against our fellow Canadians but in a short while when we hurt we will discover a mystery. People take a lot of abuse before they fight but eventually resentment finds its way to the surface. The real problem always, historically, now and in the future is that all humans, like water, strive to be equal with all others. First comes safety, we all want to live, eat, drink, reproduce, and after that we demand equality. We demand to have our space on earth and equal rights with others. We like competition but only if we have a chance to win. In the last half a century the gap between rich and poor, be it individuals or nations, has grown wide. Modern communication exposed the fact to almost all human beings and there is a sentiment to rebel. It will not go away unless addressed by the leaders. We don’t mind rewarding hard work and detest laziness as a rule. We hate slave owners and abusers. Governments, industry leaders, bankers and all other people in a position of power please understand. The job became more complicated. Every time you win may hasten your demise. Today its demonstrations and strikes, tomorrow it may be worst. Humans are born with a preconditioned drive to selfishly dominate and equally a need to love and be on par with each other. It is important to keep the two in balance or we will destroy all that we achieved and face extinction. That is my opinion anyway.

Editorial and Opinions Community Update

So much pride I always find it funny how bad news travels fast. When kids make poor choices, it always invariably comes back to us as parents to deal with the behavior as we see fit. What I rarely hear is when we have kids doing amazing and exceptional things, things that makes you stop and realize that the future of this world might just be in good hands. I’m always reading or hearing negative things about my children’s generation, how they just sit at home with their noses buried in their phones or the latest video games. I hear it so often it’s almost become a normal reality to hear about this ‘lazy’ generation of kids. Well, I’m here to tell you that I witnessed some pretty amazing kids over the Remembrance Day weekend and just in general. First we have Tiana Hamilton coming to council as our youth council representative. I love that we now have a voice from the youth of our community giving us input. I always feel a bit out of sorts on council sometimes, I’m the only councillor I believe since my mother, who is representing the community while trying to raise kids. This just adds another perspective around the table. I attended the Remembrance Day ceremonies over the weekend. At the joint service at CCHS the room was filled with our youth, from the school choir, the Girl Guides to the amazing Cadets. Never have I been more proud to say these young people are the future of our community. Most impressive was a young man with the cadets playing the bagpipes; yes that wonderful sound filled the room. I want to tell the community about Walter Gail who always plays the trumpet at the Remembrance Day Services. When he plays the Last Post I always tear up. Many in the community don’t know this but since the demise of the Blairmore Legion the cenotaph has stood abandoned and alone. Both last year and this weekend Walter made a point of stopping by and playing the Last Post, observing a silence, speaking the remembrance verse and playing the Rouse. He does this all on his own, as an act of reverence. So next time you see Walter, please take a moment to thank him. So I’ll end this with kudos to Walter Gail, the Bellevue and Coleman Legion, the youth of this community for putting themselves out there and a huge thank you to Jill Klapp and Christine McKie and staff for taking the high school to a whole new level. It is truly my belief that we have one of the best schools in Alberta and will become a benchmark for how we should treat and teach our students. These kids will move mountains if we put our faith in them, I know it! At least that’s the way I see it. LS

Health Funding for Psychological Services Petition dear editor: The Edmonton Psychological Interagency Committee is petitioning the Minister of Health Shandro and Premier Kenney for direct, funded access to psychologists for all Albertans. The committee has invited other Albertans to add their voices to this initiative. So far, over 9,700 supporters have signed! Keri told us about her experience and why she supports the petition, “My son took his life March 2017 at the age of 22… our Mental Health Healthcare failed him.” Whereas Dinesh explained that “As a family physician, I see so [many] resources and taxpayer dollars spent on treating diseases that are caused or made

worse by mental health issues.” The overall sentiment is that mental health is just as important as physical health. Statistics show either you or someone you care about will need mental health support and intervention. The public is aware and now it is time for the government to step-up and make mental health accessibility a reality. Psychologists are the primary experts in family and behavioural mental health. Unfortunately, unless one can personally afford therapy or has a generous benefit plan, most cannot afford the needed support. Currently in Alberta, behavioural and mental health supports are cen-

Bricks & Bouquets

tralized in the medical care system. Medical systems are designed for acute physical or psychiatric crises; not to provide timely and/or preventative behavioural and mental health interventions. The mental health supports within the centralized system are significantly over extended. In general, family doctors and hospitals are not adequately equipped to deal with escalating mental health issues, which can present as severe anxiety, depression, suicidality, addiction, family violence, crime, and complex mental illness. In many cases, individuals will only qualify for psychological intervention when their issues are extreme, or after substantial suffering or cri-

sis. Even then, there are waiting lists and limitations in the system. This petition is asking the Government of Alberta to redirect some mental health funding from the centralized medical system and allow Registered Psychologists to bill Alberta Health Services directly for psychological treatment. This is a revenue neutral request and would function similarly to other paramedical practitioners funding (e.g. physiotherapy, optometry, etc.). The committee has reached out to our government representatives and is planning to meet with them in person to discuss the current climate for mental health. eileen Bona registered psychologist

by David Selles I was able to experience another perk of a small town community this past week. Since I bought my Jeep at the beginning of the year, I’ve had to replace the water pump, a sensor and now my battery. The small town feel began for me when I had a photo to get at the high school and my Jeep didn’t start. I went back to the office and explained my vehicle wouldn’t start. Before I could say I was about to email the high school to let everyone for the photo know I couldn’t make it, a lovely co-worker didn’t hesitate to offer up her car and off I went to grab the photo. That show of kindness only begins to describe how this community can help one another. Later that day, I phoned my brother-in-law who owns his own shop and told me that all I needed was a new battery and that it wasn’t that hard to put a new one in. I also phoned my dad who echoed the same thing and off I went to buy a battery. After purchasing the battery I went back and waited a couple hours before I was warm enough to try and switch out the batteries. (Of course it had to die on one of the colder days in a while.) It was right about 4:30 in the afternoon when I realized I simply didn’t have the knowledge or ability to change the battery on my own so I called Ritchie Parts and Mechanical to see if there was any way they could help me out. I asked if there was a way someone could come to me as my battery didn’t even want to get boosted by a battery back I had. Without hesitation, the owner said he would be there to help me out as soon as he could. Once he arrived and attempted to swap out the batteries, he realized that one of my bolts holding the connector on the battery was too worn and wouldn’t come loose on it’s own. So with the extra power from his truck, he boosted me and met me at the shop. Now it was right around 5:00pm and the closing time for his shop but he still made sure my new battery was in and I was on my way again with a Jeep that ran smoothly. Experiencing this type of service and kindness just shows the amazing hospitality a community like the Crowsnest Pass can have. With how at home everyone has made me feel so far, I might never leave this place.

Connected Cuppas - keeping ties with your commuity DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

A new tea shop has opened in the Crowsnest Pass and it brings a different style with it. Owner of Connected Cuppas, Melanie Bright, says she’s taken different aspects of shops she’s visited and blended them together to create a unique space. “In my hometown there are a few different little coffee shops and tea shops and they're fantastic. I kind of took things I liked from other coffee shops and tea shops that I'd been to and tried to implement it here to make it comfortable, interesting and a place where people

would want to come.” There are different aspects to Bright’s shop but she says tea is the main focus. “First and foremost we're a tea shop. I blend my own teas as well as bring in bases and teas already blended but I do make a lot of my own. My Crowsnest blend is black tea with orange and lemon rind in it. I do fresh soups and baking everyday as well so people can come in for a snack. We're not a restaurant but people can come in, relax and warm up.” Bright has also found a way to include local artists in her shop as well.

“We also have local vendors bring in their stuff so I have a lot of art, pots and crafts from local vendors that we sell.” Bright has lived in the Pass for just under two years and says when the opportunity to open a shop presented itself, she had to take it. “The opportunity came up and I grabbed it. I'd been making my own tea for about three years and I started going to farmers markets this year and it went well. Then an opportunity to do this presented itself and I grabbed it.” Bright says she has her favourite types of

blends. “I like peppermint so when I started it was peppermint, spearmint and I also grew mojito mint because I make a mojito blend in the summer.” Bright hopes Connected Cuppas can become more than a tea shop though as she has reached out to different groups to see if they would want to use her space for meetings as well. Currently, Connected Cuppas is open from 9-4 Tuesday-Friday, 9-7 on Wednesdays and 10-3 on Saturdays but Bright says she has a new idea she plans to test out.

“We're going to do a two week trial period of offering eggwiches in the morning which is egg and cheese on a toasted english muffin. We'll start opening at 8:30am starting November 20th and we'll do that for two weeks and see what reaction is and see if it's something people want.” The shop gives locals plenty of options as Bright also partners with businesses in the area to create unique blends of tea. “I also do custom tea blending for different businesses in town. It's a blend that is just theirs that we create together.

We make up labels for them and then they can give them to customers or clients as a thank you and I'll also sell them at the shop. I do customized gift baskets for any occasion, they'll include different arts and crafts that my vendors have in here as well as tea and tea pots that I have for sale. If anyone would want to offer a class on something whether it be meal prep or how to make jewelry or how to knit, they can contact me and set up a time and it can be held here.” Bright says she hopes everyone can find use of and enjoy what her shop has to offer.

Council’s First Youth Representative - Tiana Hammilton DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Council has found a way to help increase youth involvement with the local government. Council had been looking for ways to aid the local youth in becoming more involved in the community and Mayor Painter says they found their inspiration through a regional council meeting. “After participating in a recent regional council meeting, Elkford gave a report that they are having great success with their youth council representative. That person sits at their council meetings. We decided that was a really good idea and perhaps that's what we've been looking for all along and that we wanted to get involved with a similar program.” Mayor Painter says council really started pushing for a way to involve youth because of how integral they are to

the community. “We realize that the youth are a very important group in our community. We've had many discussions about how we could interact with our youth and how we could reach out to them and get incite to their concerns and thoughts on how to strengthen our community and move it forward in a positive way. We also noticed that they've been taking an interest in participating in more of our local events which was really great to see.” After some planning, council passed a policy and set the process in motion for their first youth council rep. “We talked about it a lot and on June 25th, we passed our council youth representative policy for the purpose of increasing awareness of local government activities among our Crowsnest Pass youth and to increase council's awareness of youth issues

within our municipality,” said Mayor Painter. Mayor Painter says once that was finalized, the process began at the local high school to find the first representative. “Once we did that we went out to our high school for them to pick who they wanted as their representative. They chose Tiana Hamilton who's their student council president to sit on our council. Last week was our first meeting with her in attendance and we are all very excited. She's a very enthusiastic person and we look forward to what she brings to the council table.” According to Mayor Painter, Hamilton’s job will be to bring a youth perspective to issues within the Crowsnest Pass. Hamilton will also have the opportunity to participate in local events, which is something Mayor Painter is excited to see. “I think it's nice and shows that our youth are actually interested in things that go on in our

community and want to participate. That's an aspect we definitely look forward to.” Hamilton’s first event as youth council rep was at a Remembrance Day where she was able to lay a wreath. Hamilton also participated in her first council meeting on November 5th and she says it was a great experience. “I enjoyed it so much. It was such a great experience. It's really interesting because you don't really get that perspective from anybody else but when your actually in it it's really interesting. It was a lot different than what I thought it would be going into it. I thought it would be more nerve racking and I thought I wouldn't be able to speak up but I did and it was awesome.” Hamilton says there are a couple of things she hopes to take away from her time with council. “Overall experience. Maybe I can make a career out of it one day. Being able to represent people and feeling what that's like is another thing

CCHS student Tiana Hamilton began her term as Youth Council Representative a during Tuesday, November 5th’s council meeting. Her job over the next year will be to provide discussion and provide council with some concerns the youth of the Crowsnest Pass have. Hamilton will attend council meetings and will also attend many of the events that take place in the Pass.

because I've always wanted to do that.” Hamilton says she hopes to use this time to see if this type of work would be what she wants to do later in life. Hamilton says she has already begun speaking with youth in the Pass and will continue to over her time as their representative. "I've already spoken to multiple peers and multiple youth through-

out the community and I've gained the knowledge of where they stand. I'm going to bring some of that to the next meeting." Hamilton says she hopes she can help increase youth involvement in the Pass while serving as their representative as well. Hamilton's term will last one year, after which she plans to apply for the position again if the opportunity presents itself.

Crowsnest Municipal Council briefs DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

TC Energy - Potential Projects in Crowsnest Pass Area Representatives of TC Energy were in attendance to update council on some future projects planned in the area. TC Energy is in the very early stages of these plans and told council they will be scheduling open houses in the future to further show and explain the work that will be done. Quarter Three Financial Report Council was presented the third quarter financial report during the meeting as well. Council was given a full financial summary that included revenues and expenses over multiple different categories. All departments are in line with the targeted 75% with the exception of Development, Engineering and Operations. Administration also does not anticipate any major issues or expenditures that will

affect the budget.

approved

Quarter Three Development Report Council was presented the third quarter development report during the meeting. Council was given updated information including the number of permits handed out. 118 new permits were issued by the municipality for building, plumbing, private sewage and electrical. There were also 51 permits closed over the same categories. People can find a full development report on the municipal website. Additional aid for high volume of traffic Mayor Painter also brought up some things he would like to see the municipality do in advance of Highway 1 being shut down causing more traffic to flow through the Crowsnest Pass. Mayor Painter says he'd like to see an in-

crease in policing and fire and rescue throughout the community, more signage and speed signs on the roads to help keep traffic at reasonable speeds and any other possible changes council may want in advance of higher volumes of traffic. Mayor Painter would like to see the municipality work hand in hand with Alberta Transportation, as they may be able to help out during this process. Youth representative Tiana Hamilton also commented that more teens in the community are starting to drive and says that with more traffic coming in she would like to see council and the municipality more prepared and safe. Councillor Ward made a motion to approach Alberta Transportation and the appropriate people to request additional funding for signage, policing and emergency services and the motion was carried by council.

Crowsnest Pass ProteCtive serviCes - supporting a safe community

Fire & Rescue, Community Peace Officer Program and Agriculture/Field Services Fire Rescue Though Remembrance Day has passed, we want to take time to thank all the men and women who have served and sacrificed in our Armed Forces. Pride, valour, duty and courage are mainstay values in the fire service as well as the Armed Forces and we will always mark and honour the price our service people have paid. These are busy months for us at Crowsnest Pass Fire Rescue. We have just finished practices on traffic safety and fire ground operations all in the interest of keeping us safe and protected. It is critical that we know the dangers that go along with working emergency scenes on busy traffic corridors. It is also a busy time for us in the community. You can see us around town at the Christmas in the Mountains Parade, the Toy Drive at Red Apple, the Holiday Train, and many more community functions. Serving our residents includes so much more than just emergency response. Our volunteers live and work in the region and would be thrilled to discuss what we are up to! However you enjoy this season, stay safe.

Sometimes all we can see are situations where the CPO is “getting after” someone or having someone pulled over on the side of the road. While this is often true, the CPO program directly supports Council’s vision of having a safe, enjoyable community that is decent to live in and safe for our children. Most of our community drives safely, takes pride in being great neighbors, and generally contributes to this amazing community. The CPO program enhances these areas for those who need encouragement in these fields. We are proud to contribute to the health and liveability of our mountain community. If you have any questions about our program or would like to see efforts made in additional areas, please come and have a coffee with us to discuss!

In Loving Memory of my dear niece

Marie (Berlin) Cervo

who passed away November 18th, 2009 We once had something special that money couldn’t buy. We had a special person but we had to say good bye. If we were asked one question, why we thought the world of you. We could give a million answers and they all would be true. The heartache and the sadness may not always show. People say it lessens, but little do they know. Meet us in our dreams and talk to us once more and ease this everlasting pain that makes our hearts so sore. The road without you is so long, a tear for every mile. But we know one day when we reach the end, you will be waiting with a smile

The Municipal District of ranchland no. 66 is one of the most historic and picturesque areas in southern alberta. encompassing nearly 2,500 km2, the municipality consists of forest reserves, protected areas, creeks, streams and open rangeland. it hosts a provincial park, wildland provincial parks, and natural areas. approximately 75 percent of the municipal land base is Crown owned in addition to large holdings of privately-owned ranch land and provincial grazing leases. The iconic Cowboy Trail (Hwy 22) bisects the municipality from north to south. The municipality shares its borders with Foothills County, the Municipal District of Pincher Creek, Municipal District of Willow Creek, Municipality of Crowsnest Pass and Kananaskis improvement District. The Council, staff and ratepayers are unwavering in their dedication to protect and preserve alberta’s native ecosystems and heritage ranching. Much of the land in the municipality is unbroken and not accessible by roads, which provides a distinct form of environmental conservation. This municipality is unique in the alberta municipal sector with a population of approximately 90 people residing on secluded ranching operations, and no urban settlements within our boundaries, requiring residents to travel outside the municipality for goods and services. our municipal Shop and administration building are located on Highway 22 near Chain lakes Provincial Park requiring a commute to work depending on the selected candidate’s choice of residence.
