Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal meeting update Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal

On April 28th, Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal (CSCC) organized a public meet-

ing at the Isabel Sellon School gym. The meeting started with role-call members of CSCC being introduced. The Chair of CSCC Mike Dobie then presented a summary of

activities recently undertaken that include letter writing and summary of presentations. CSCC has made presentations to the MD of Pincher Creek, Town of Pincher Creek and the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. Mike explained that coal demand for steel will increase 20% by 2050. Some of that increase can come from Australia but the remainder will have to come from countries such as Russia or China and the wealth transfer to these countries will amount to six billion dollars annually. In Canada we have better environmental regulations and policies than in those foreign lands and the use of our highquality coal will reduce the coal burnt per tonne of steel to the betterment of the global environment.

Then a director of CSCC Eric Lowther introduced the keynote speaker for this event, who was Danielle Smith from High River and here is a summary of her presentation: After introductory comments, Danielle spoke about the mayor of High River being displeased with her atten-

dance at the Coal event.

Previously Danielle had interviewed him regarding his original stance while on the 770 CHQR Danielle Smith Show where he clearly was not talking about the Grassy or Tent Mountain (class 4) proposals but took a position against Class 2 (greenfield) coal developments. She concluded this subject by stating that “I don’t think it is appropriate for the mayor of one town to tell another town what they should feel about a mine development”, which received a grand applause from the audience.

Danielle stated that industry does a pretty awful job defending themselves and explained the challenges she had to get industrial spokespeople to actual speak on issues. “There are consequences to not fighting back” in the face of the barrage of environmentalist opinions.

She spoke on “net zero” CO2 developments for Alberta. “Net zero, I believe, is achievable and here in Alberta we can get there faster than everyone else”. Faster than Quebec and then they can pay us carbon credits. This achieved another round of applause.

There needs to be clarity regarding CO2. You cannot make solar panels with solar panels and you cannot make windmills with windmills. In

both cases you need coal to make these products .

Solar panels and windmills will not be net zero until coal is net zero. Cement, steel, fiberglass and transportation are needed and have to also be net zero before considering solar panels and windmills to be net zero.

Currently, we mine coal and truck it to the rail, then ship by rail to tidewater, cargo ship it to a foreign land, load it back on a train and then truck to an industrial plant that creates a product, such as solar panels.

These solar panels are then loaded on a truck, then a train and a ship to be delivered to another country, back onto a train to a truck and we place them on our home turf and declare it “Green”.

Rather than this convoluted approach, Danielle advocated for home grown industry.

There have been some major breakthroughs in the use of CO2 use and capture. It can be used to increase oil and gas flow, you can make carbon nanofiber, a possible replacement for steel, you can strengthen cement with it. CO2 is very versatile and it can be used for the creation of industrial minerals, soap, plastics, ethyl alcohol, and pure stream CO2 which can be used to make vodka.

We can have coal intense processes that use

CO2 to create products here that can be net zero.

We create products to send to the world rather than just sending the components for development elsewhere. If we bring these processes home, we can make a better case (because everyone will see the end product and understand how it is made).

We face a hostile federal government and have to learn new strategies. “If we developed net zero industry here, we would not run afoul of the federal government”. Net zero developments would not require federal approval. We have the authority to build power plants and do not need federal approval. We have the authority and just like Quebec, we just need to use that authority.

After the presentation, there was a short question and answer period. Following that, the chair of the meeting, Eric Lowther, concluded the coal presentation. Interested participants were invited to stay and listen to Danielle regarding political issues in Alberta.

Danielle will be running to acquire the UCP nomination for her home constituency which happens to include the Crowsnest Pass and will consider other options based on the UCP Leadership review unfolding in Alberta.

Fire Rescue

The progression of fire science in the last decade has directly contributed to fire departments being much more knowledgeable in how fire affects buildings. Some techniques we historically used are now discovered to be potentially ineffective, and in some circumstances made the situation worse. An example of this is how we use ventilation in combination with fire attack. I know from first-hand experience that cutting holes in roofs, breaking windows, and leaving doors open were thought to be prudent activities in order to eliminate hot gases and increase visibility. What is now proven, in scientifically controlled testing environments, is that these ventilation techniques can result in the fire being fed significantly more air and increase fire intensity-and not by a little bit! Modern strategies concentrate heavily on controlling and restricting air supply to a working fire. Another mindset that progressive departments are doing, is to question why we are doing certain functions. So many times, ventilation holes are cut into roofs of houses when the roof space is already venting the hot gases out due to being compromised from fire. Doing this because we’ve always done it may not make sense.

These types of practices do not mean they are wrong but rather there needs to be a continual refinement of our knowledge and strategies.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Life or Freedom!

A friend said to me, I have only one life. He believes that at some point, better later, the lights go out and there is nothing more. Could be true. Another believes that he may go to heaven, to be with God, angels, and relatives who passed away.

That is good also, but I have some questions. If it is like a great Senior’s lodge, well, I don’t like playing cards or bingo. A Heaven for me must include doing something useful. My friend from the far east believes in reincarnation, which includes animals. Great, but I wouldn’t like to be a spider in my house. A cat would be preferable. There are many more ideas about eternal life, but I only have half a page a week to share my thoughts with my community.

I will wait for later and try to make the best of the life I have right now. I live in a green valley with mountains all around. My home is just big enough for my wife and me and visitors or family who rarely come. In the winter the snow forms a Christmas card scenery and, in the summer, we have lots of flowers and enjoy a beautiful slice of nature. The people around us are wonderful, and new people are showing up all the time. Some are visiting, others live here, and we don’t see all the “not-so-great” things that existed in the big city where we used to live. I pat myself on the back for choosing a great place.

Within 45 minutes from home, we have two hospitals, medical clinics, stores, shops, art all around, sports facilities, fishing, gun and pistol clubs, libraries, restaurants, hotels, markets, schools, spas, you name it. We didn’t yet talk about the outdoor sports opportunities that are growing every day. I am waiting for something with horses to develop and draw Calgarians over. With new people, we see fresh development. New houses, shops and people making little things to sell in the farmer’s market are all drawing more of the same.

We are growing, a little at a time, if we can protect our aging population from growing threats like spreading viruses.

I was watching a hand-filmed video of partisans fighting the Russian army around Kyiv. Those brave guys and girls saved towns from total destruction and lived to tell the story. Using phones, they documented the story. One little town in the suburbs of Kyiv was fought over harder than most because it had the only vaccination clinic that was well stocked by the West. Several partisans sacrificed their lives to keep it going.

I watch the news from a handful of countries that keep reporters on the

ground and sometimes switch over to Canadian news. The Canadian station featured bikers driving in Ottawa. They altered the motorbikes to a point in which it was hard to determine what to call the machines. On them rode a group of old guys with wild hair, and wild beards, and behind them rode the Mamas. None seemed in good physical shape like the Ukrainian Partisans. A few old and forgotten veterans with army headgear completed the picture. The news media tried to find out what these folks seeking media attention and perhaps Go Fund Me loot were demonstrating but couldn’t. Freedom and they don’t like Trudeau and vaccines seemed to be central, but not even one could name what freedom meant to them. One short old man with uncombed white hair said he was willing to die for freedom. Wow! Other than those, there was a crowd of partiers milling about with placards and American or Canadian flags. They got on TV and went home for supper. Ottawa lost three million dollars on related expenses and policing. This time Pierre Poilievre and other opposition attention seekers didn’t take pictures with the “protesters.” The reporter mentioned that luckily, we just had a federal election, so there was no dispute about who is the official democratically elected leader in Canada.

I compare the two groups. People whose country has been invaded with the intent of changing the government and here, folks demanding to be on TV by insisting on endangering the elderly and more vulnerable fellow citizens. Both claim to be fighting for freedom. Could it be that we became a society of spoiled children?

I feel as if I have more than one life and reached Heaven. Born with a small chance of surviving, I made it. Lived in the valley where prophets walked, moved to a biblical mountain, and tasted extreme poverty for a while. Survived wars, deadly diseases, prejudices, as well as harassment. At a critical age, I was tossed into a new society again to start from the bottom up. Each time I ended up better than I was.

As I am writing, more questions about freedom show up. The Taliban declared that women can’t leave home without a male companion and a burka. If they do, their family men will be arrested. The US Supreme Court is debating again, restricting abortions. Can every woman decide for herself if to terminate a pregnancy or do others have a say? Is she one person when another person is in her and who will look after the baby if she can’t or doesn’t want to? Can each of us decide if to stay alive or not and should society restrict suicides? If not, how much help can someone provide to kill themselves?

I believe God created life, but do I have the freedom to keep my life or not? If not, should society be responsible for keeping people alive, and to what degree?

Do women have the same rights as men? How about people who lost a war or were born in poverty?

I may have one life that ends and begins again. Where and how is a question of faith. Do I have freedom? Do all people? God, please help us.

École des Grands-Vents The École des Grands-Vents in the Crowsnest Pass had some special visitors on May 3rd. Suzanne and Nahomi Beaubien (a mother and daughter from the Atikamekw nation, living in Quebec) came and introduced students and staff to their culture. Suzanne speaks Atikamekw as her first language and French as her second language.

They made the trip to tell students about legends, their language (they taught them a few words) and to teach students how to do some native art such as beading keychains and making dreamcatchers. The students also had a fun activity where they learned how to make bannock, a delicious bread that they excel at making.

Staff say its was great to have the ladies come and teach the students different things.

Editorial Life sometimes has a way to knock you down.

You think everything is going great, you are in a great place mentally and physically and then BAM, you can get hit with crappy news out of the blue.

So what do you do when life gives you lemons, you make lemonades. Last week I told the boys to pick anywhere in the United States they would want to go to if they had a choice. Anywhere we could go as a family. To my surprise the boys picked Disney World in Florida. We have been to Disneyland many times and have always joked that our next trip would be to the big place itself.

Aiden has to do summer school, taking a survey class. After six classes a semester, which he passed, he’s done second year engineering. He told me the stress level and demand was astounding.

We picked him up last Thursday and the following Monday he was to start his eight month co-op at Teck’s Greenhill mine.

Keiran, who is also in university, had to attend an extra three weeks of school because the institution went on strike. He was trying to dethatch lawns, while finishing assignments and taking finals. He just finished last Thursday as well.

So low and behold when I said we are all leaving on Monday to go to Disney World they just about lost their minds. Family is the most important thing in the world to me. My kids are stressed, my life is stressful and we need time to just be a family and do a bit of laughing. We are heading to that happy place for a week. A week of Universal Studios, a week of Disney World and a week of making memories.

I had four days to pull this together and there is no way I could do that on my own. I reached out to Joanne Cole, owner of See and Sea Travel. A local travel specialist. I asked her to make my wish possible and she did it, in literally three days. I’m not sure what fairy dust she used but man alive it’s all planned from flights, to shuttle to passes to home.

I suggest if you ever need a trip go to this goddess for help. There is no way I could have navigated it, though of all the little things I need to make sure were done properly and felt like I could just show up and enjoy the experience.

I can’t tell you enough how wonderful she was to make this dream a reality for my family.

So in keeping with the theme, please do the crossword puzzle beside my editorial. Enjoy the wet weather because I promise you I will enjoy sunny Florida, my kids and making memories.

When I’m sitting for lunch having lemonade, with perhaps a shot of Vodka, I will cheers you Joanne Cole!

Simply Selles Musings from your local reporter Last week I wrote about how exciting the month of May is as a sports fan.

With three of the four major sports leagues playing in North America right now it’s a fantastic time to be a sports fan.

However, so far the NHL playoffs have been anything but exciting as most of the games have been decided by three or more goals so far this playoffs.

With that, I’ve needed to find my sports excitement fix somewhere else and there were two events this past weekend that didn’t disappoint.

The first I’ll mention is the Formula 1 race that took place in Miami over the weekend.

I only recently got into F1 and I’m glad I did as the competitiveness between teams and teammates is super intriguing to watch.

It’s one of the few sports where teammates are also enemies.

There are 10 teams in F1 and each team has two drivers.

There is a team championship, which the drivers of each team are hoping to achieve but there is also a driver’s championship that goes to the driver with the most points at the end of the season.

That championship means teammates may end up challenging each other over the course of the season.

This past weekend was the first ever time for F1 in Miami.

The track was challenging which made for some great suspense as drivers did everything they could to get the most out of their cars.

In the end, my favourite racer, Max Verstappen, came out victorious and closed the gap on the drivers in front of at the top of the championship standings.

The other event I found excitement in involved a different kind of horsepower.

The 148th running of the Kentucky Derby took place on Saturday.

This race was one to remember as Rich Strike, the horse with the longest odds to win at 80-1, crossed the line in first.

After the race, with everyone shocked, it was mentioned that Rich Strike was in a claiming race last year and could’ve been purchased for only $30,000.

Most horses that win a Kentucky Derby are bought for six figures.

The most incredible part of the story is that Rich Strike wasn’t even supposed to race.

He was the first alternate and one of the horses dropped out on the day before the race, paving the way for the second longest odd winner in Derby history.

It’s races like those that got me into sports.

You can have all this data and analysis but in sports, the unexpected is always possible.

Now with no more horse racing for a bit I’m hoping the next round of the NHL playoffs gets more exciting otherwise I may have to find another sport like marble racing to get excited about.

Cleaning Coal - 1930's Style John Kinnear What remains at the West Canadian Collieries Greenhill mine site these days is but a very small portion of what once was a large, thriving and well run collieries with a rock solid reputation. All that is visible from the highway nowadays is the remains of the rotary dump section of the colliery where coal cars were moved by a chain conveying system through the rotary dump and then back into line-ups of empties headed back into the mine.

If we were to go back to the year 1937 though we would find a very active West Canadian Collieries (WCC) with its head office in Blairmore. It was one of the oldest mining companies in Western Canada.

Their operations started at Lille in 1902 and later expanded to the Bellevue and Greenhills Mines in 1903 and 1913 respectively.

Both these mines were equipped with what was considered state of the art coal cleaning plants in those days. Their plants had what was known as pneumo-Gravity cleaning systems in which all coal less than one and a quarter inch in size was sent to be mechanically cleaned by air.

The sorting of the coal was achieved using electrically vibrated screens which sized it to suit the cleaning tables. They were, quite simply, square steel mesh stretched tightly over metal frames that vibrated continuously and made for a very efficient sizing system. Each screen had a hopper to catch the sized coal from it which was then fed to the cleaning tables.

The cleaning or “air tables” worked on a simple process that took advantage of the fact that coal was lighter in weight than rock. Air from a blower fan was forced upwards through the perforated deck on the cleaning tables which stratified the bed, raising the coal to the top and leaving the rock on the bottom. The traverse slope of the table allowed the coal to flow to the front while a reciprocating motion moved the refuse to the side of the deck.

Coal over one and a quarter inch was too large to be air cleaned and was put through what was known as hydro-separators. The system used water as a cleaning medium instead of air and also utilized gravity to separate rock from coal.

Two other interesting devices that operated within the cleaning plant were automatic mechanical samplers and magnetic separators. The samplers, which ran continuously, sampled every car of coal loaded and those samples were assayed before the coal was shipped. The separators removed track spikes, nails and any other unwanted metal from the coal. These separators were referred to as tramp magnets and were quite powerful and any operator who thought their antimagnetic watch was immune to its power usually got a rude awakening with a watch stopped in its tracks, permanently.

Thus cleaned and sized "Greenhills" and "Bellevue" coals (which were registered trade names) were shipped all over the Prairie Provinces for consumption. By 1937 West Canadian had shipped over 12 million tons of coal and in those days produced 2,000 tons from each mine in an eight hour shift. Their cleaned coals were categorized as: steam size mine run, nut, pea, stoker size, washed furnace and lump. Their "smithy" or blacksmith coal stood up to the finest American smithing coals

in terms of retaining heat and coking ability.

West Canadian coal was used extensively by the railroads who were notoriously discriminatory fuel buyers. It had to be good coal to provide 200 pounds of steam on a heavy passenger or freight locomotive whose heating surfaces were exposed at times to 20 to 40 degree below zero weather. You can imagine the surface heat loss of a steam locomotive as it charged across the prairies at high speed in the middle of winter. It must have been phenomenal!

West Canadian finally gave up the ghost in 1958 when oil and gas took over the markets but for 56 years they were a premier producer of coal for all needs in the Crowsnest Pass and elsewhere.

For a time many years ago I worked as a summer student greasing equipment in a very similar type of plant; the old Coleman Collieries tipple, the predecessor to the green plant that was torn down a few years ago. I recall an occasion when I was working around a Tyler coal cleaning vibrating screen that was leaking water and a large puddle had formed on the floor. While ma-

noeuvring to get at the screen’s grease nipples I accidentally broke off the shell of a very large industrial size light bulb with my hardhat.

Coal Mining in Alberta in 1948 John Kinnear What say we step back in time to the post World War Two year of 1948 and see what was going on in the coal mining industry then? To do this I will extract some fascinating data from the chief mine’s inspectors hard cover summary report for that year.

Every year an Annual Report of the Mines Branch was submitted by the chief inspector to the Alberta Government for publication and usually most mining companies got themselves a copy.

That year’s report by Inspector John Crawford provided just under 200 pages of summary of every possible aspect of coal mining one can imagine. The report is crammed with statistics and logistics and gives one a complete overview of who was mining what coal, where and why.

Total coal production in 1948 was the highest Alberta had ever done since they started keeping records in 1902. That production number was a whopping 8,111,013 short tons of coal from no less than 195 mines throughout the province. Alberta sold coal for consumption to itself, Saskatchewan, BC ,Manitoba, Ontario and the United States. There was even 200,000 tons of bituminous coal sold to Japan!

Of that total 2,312,000 was used by the railroads for steam power.

The Crowsnest Division of those 195 mines contributed just under 2,000,000 tons of which 1,172,000 went to the railroads. Those mines included West Canadian Collieries (WCC) - Bellevue, Greenhill and Adanac mines, McGillivray Creek Coke and Coal, International Coke and Coal and Hillcrest-Mohawk Collieries.

In total an average of about 8865 men were working in the mines in Alberta that year, with the Pass employing about 2474 of them, around 28% of the

overall total. 1600 men worked underground, 600 on the surface and about 265 men worked in the strip mines. 218 workers were referred to in the charts as salaried employees and the rest as wage earners!

Inevitably I knew I would run into the charts and summary lists of accidents as they were always an integral part of these reports. A way of monitoring the severity of incidents relative to other years. In 1948 Alberta suffered 13 fatalities of which 5 were in the Pass. Two were underground and three were on the surface. That year we lost George Quinlan (48) and Frank Puchala (49) at Hillcrest, William Witwicki (23) and John Omelusik (23) at McGillivray and Frank Zboya (34) at WCC, Blairmore.

For some irksome reason the mines branch generated some bizarre statistics around fatalities, serious injuries and slight injuries. Of what use they were beyond me. Each year they carried cumulative totals and from 1906 to 1948 the industry managed to kill 1,101 men in Alberta mines while producing a whopping 233,000,000 tons of coal. For the year 1948 the statistic was 623,924 tons mined per fatality. Of these statistics the inspector made the following comment. “The number of accidents during the year was 13 as compared to 15 in 1947. This is a decrease of 13.3%, and equals 1.6 fatals per million tons of coal produced. This figure compares very favourably with the average rate in the United States and Great Britain.” Thank God these days are over and the ominous cloud of fear of losing a loved one in the mines has long since dissipated.

Here is a statistic I generated along those lines. In 1948 50 people were interred in the Pass cemeteries which mean 10% of those who died were from mine accidents.

Further on in the re-

port the listing of how these men were killed or hurt is a familiar one to anyone who has studied mining history. There were literally hundreds of ways to be injured in the mines.

Rope haulage and horse haulage led to crushings, getting caught in, under or around horses, mine cars, locomotives, coal cutting machinery, box cars, timbers and tipple machinery, all of which could lead to some nasty and sometimes fatal encounters. Coal and rock falls were particularly serious.

A section of the report is dedicated to listing all those miners with first, second and third class mining certificates, either newly attained or long standing.

It was a pleasant surprise when I came across my father’s name: John Andrew Kinnear, Certificate No. 64 – Date of Issue July 22, 1943. The lists of certified pit and fire bosses contained many familiar Pass names like Fontana, Tamborini, Goodwin, Panek, Fraser and Sikora.

The district inspector for the Crowsnest Region, J.D.B. Brown, reported that there were six strip mines in operation in 1948 all of which were owned and operated by the six underground mines mentioned above. He went on to mention a strike that ran from Jan 13th to February 18th of that year and that a shortage of railroad cars cost the mines in the district 96 working days.

Brown also stated that: “The demands for unskilled labour at the mines is almost completely satisfied. This need has been met with the arrival of Polish veterans and other immigrants, generally with some underground experience.” Some of the Polish underground miners I worked with underground, many years ago, were among some of the finest, hardest working men I have ever known.

Brown’s report mentioned that the “Adanac” (Canada spelled back-

From top: Adanac Mine 55 ton Hayes hauler - Glenbow Archives, Extract from UMWA fatality list for Alberta miners - Kinnear photo wards!) strip mine south of Blairmore placed into operation one HayesLawrence 55-ton truck powered by a 200 H.P. diesel engine equipped with sanders and air operated dump doors. That truck was custom built for West Canadian Collieries’ Adanac Mine and was the largest of its type ever built in “Canada” (Adanac spelled backwards) at the time. Bill Kovach told me this monster off- road haul trucks used to go right by his door. They must have been quite a sight. The annual report indicated a special reinforced steel bridge had to be built at the Bellevue tipple to allow the big Hayes to dump its

coal.

In the year 1948 Mahatma Ghandi was murdered, Israel became a separate state and Mackenzie King, Joseph Stalin and Harry Truman were big names in the news. But here in the good old Crowsnest Pass we were mining coal like nobody’s business. Because that is what we did best.

The monster blowout of Leduc’s Atlantic Number 3 oil well that year made huge news. Atlantic #3 developed with such force that it went immediately out of control. For six months it spewed oil and gas, thereby causing the ground to soften. The rig

then collapsed, snapping electrical cables which, in turn, fuelled a shower of sparks. The mammoth lake of oil caught fire and the well exploded into flames.

Old-timers in the oil patch claim Atlantic #3 was the most spectacular well fire in Canadian history.

The coal miners in the Crowsnest Pass didn’t realize it at the time but the development of oil fields like Leduc was the beginning of the decline of an industry that was instrumental in making this province what it is today. 1948 was a banner year for mining in the Pass and the industry was at its phoenix during that time.

Coal Mine Safety – Past and Present John Kinnear It cannot be said enough times and in enough places that modern coal mining’s safety record is something to be proud of. It stands heads above most other industries in Canada and the safety programs put in place at the Elk Valley coal mines are as rigorous and thorough as can be found anywhere in the world.

There is a very concerted and diligent effort to reduce and eliminate hazards at the mines and injuries are fairly rare. Occupational Health and Safety committees work closely with the management at all mines to ensure the modern coal miner works in a safe environment.

This was not always the case. There was a time in the Crowsnest Pass and Elk Valley when injuries and fatalities were an accepted part of a miner’s life. This was back in the time when pretty well all coal mining occurred underground.

Italian Pete Rotella put it simply in 1967 after his amazing survival of the Balmer North blast that killed 15 men. Rotella was blown clean out of the mine and landed in the trees in the Michel Creek valley bottom. Pete said: “A mine is a mine. You go in; you never know if you are going to come out”.

The most poignant evidence of how it was back then risk-wise can be

found in a series of 14” by 22” ledger books in the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company archives stored in the basement of Fernie’s city hall. They are a remarkable compilation of accident records diligently kept over five decades by the company. The ledgers were printed with columns specifically laid out for this purpose and detail everything from occupation, nationality, nature of injury, cause of accident and so on. Probably the most disturbing column in each two-page spread is the one labelled:”Fatal or NonFatal”. The non-fatal's were not indicated as there were so many of them so the word Fatal in an otherwise empty column jumps out at you.

It is aninteresting exercise to revisit these books and look at the nature and cause of accidents as it gives one a better appreciation of the hazards these men endured. The men who were charged with filling out these books faced, for the most part, an adjective challenge that would leave most medical types stymied. The range of injuries and severity of accidents includes almost every descriptor in Webster’s dictionary and included the likes of: severed, crushed, sprained, bruised, cut, frozen, fractured, twisted, ruptured, punctured and so on.

These descriptors in-

volved almost every single part of the human body, be it toes, legs, arms, ribs, ankles, backs, hands, eyes and ad infinitum.

Never in the history of Canadian labour have men faced so many hazards, as did those in our coal mines. Also never in the history of Canadian labour did working men find so many ways to get injured. One can turn to any single page of these pain chronicles and find more ways to get hurt than one can imagine. As you run your finger down the cause column you will come across statements like:”fall of rock, squeezed by car, tripped on rail, struck with pick (ouch), thrown off trip, cut with saw and the always dreaded “cave-in”or “explosion”.

The word “caught” shows up a lot as in: “caught between bumpers, caught by coupling or caught by rope.

Struck was also heavily used as there are many things one can be struck with in a mine, be it a piece of roof rock, an axe, a timber or a flying wedge. Probably the most painful that one comes across has to do with the horses or mules used underground. Miners endured bites, trampling, kicks, toes being stomped and inevitably being dragged by a creature that was really unhappy about living in the dark and being forced to work all day.

Here is one of 2,672 entries out of one of the ledgers that spans the years 1914 to 1923: “ Entry #3796- Date: May 29, 1916Time: 7:15 PM-Name: Brown, Benjamin-Work #2863- Occupation Bellboy-Location #1 East-Nature of Injury: Compound fracture right forearm, severely lacerated hand and dislocated left shoulderNationality: Welsh-Age: 16-Marital Status: SingleCause of Accident: Found lying in center of tracksDate Returned to Work (never did)”.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the nationality thing. Ben was classified as Welsh, one of dozens of nationalities listed in this ledger. They included countrymen labelled as: Galician, Austrian, Hungarian Polish, German, Slovak, Russian, Belgian, French and Ukrainian. My particular nationality is put down as Scotch (not Scottish), a mistake quite common back then. Mind you, a drink of Scotch was probably in order for a Scottish miner who had endured the viciousness of a well-directed hoof.

After a while as you cruise through the lists they begin to blur into one huge legacy of pain. “Pick went into knee. Nail went into foot. Timber rolled onto hand. Coal fell into eye. Fingers squeezed between props.” One finds oneself looking for anything unusual to provide some relief from the end-

From top: Table of accident record books at coal company archives in Fernie, Extract from one of the books John Kinnear photos. less scroll of things that went wrong. Like Charles O’Neil, a horseshoer, who was “driving nail into hind shoe when horse kicked and nail went into thumb”. Doesn’t that one just make you wince?

I guess the most unlikely accident I was able to find was that which befell Joe Fratenna an Italian who just about took a finger off when “knife slipped when cutting cheese”.

Whether it was the

washhouse, the stables, the mines, the tipple, the machine shop or any other part of the Crowsnest Pass mines it seems that personal injury was always lurking just around the corner. The few miners living today that survived this endless stream of wrong place at the wrong time no doubt carry the physical marks of this legacy, battlescars of just about the toughest men ever to walk into a mine.

When Everyone Used Coal John Kinnear We tend to forget that not so long ago it was coal and only coal that heated our houses, churches, schools and factories.

Every place had to take delivery of a few tons now and then and coal was stored in sheds or shovelled down chutes into basements.

I recall while working for Manalta Coal in their Calgary office in 1972 that I had occasion to walk into the office of a man in charge of coal marketing for their subsidiary, the Great West Coal Company. One of his walls had a giant map of western Canada on it on which there were hundreds of color coded pins.

When I asked what they were for he informed me that they demarked all the places that the company shipped coal to. I was astounded at the implication and then got to thinking that, unlike here in the mountains, so many small prairie towns had no ready access to coal supplies and that coal would have to be shipped to them.

This selling and shipping business was a part of the coal industry that had a lot of competitive-

ness connected to it and producers advertised their products across the prairie provinces in magazines and in the press regularly. Ads from different mines across Alberta promised cleaner (water washed) coals that were hotter burning and lower in ash. Coal was advertised as being available in various sizes from lump, nut, egg and pea.

Lump was also referred to as cobble and meant anything over 4 inches in size. Brazeau Collieries at Nordegg (near Rocky Mountain House) claimed to have Canada’s most modern fuel, that being Brazeau briquettes. They were made with: “the most up-to-date cleaning equipment” and it was stated that they were the perfect household fuel.

Alberta Coal Sales out of Edmonton sold Victory Coal which they claimed in their ads was free from dust had no fly ash and would be promptly delivered.

Many Victory coals were oil-treated which they claimed made it ignite quickly and give good heat. This type of coal was often referred to as oil stoker.

Michel coal was ad-

vertised as “Canada’s Highest Quality Steam Coal” and the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company ad showed a branch office in Winnipeg. It was not uncommon to see the name Winnipeg Supply and Fuel Company on buildings all across Western Canada. They helped facilitate the sale of a lot of different coals along with building materials like wood, brick, lime, Portland cement, fire brick and clay, sewer pipe and so on. At one time this company owned a lime kiln operation in the Pass.

Those kilns are visible as you drive east through the Frank Slide on your right. Their head office was in Winnipeg but ads show them having agents in places like Yorkton, Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon.

I recently discovered an ad for Hillcrest Mines steam coal in an old Spokane, Washington newspaper which showed more or less to what extent companies went to provide to far reaching markets what they all claimed was the finest steam coal around. CPR knew that mountain subbituminous coals usually delivered the highest heat

value and when mined and cleaned properly could provide the best train coals.

West Canadian Collieries Bellevue and Greenhill coals were advertised as available in stoker, mine run, slack and furnace sizes and touted as top quality steam coals because they were “prepared and specially treated by the most up-to-date coal cleaning equipment in Western Canada.” They also offered what they called “Monitor Briquettes-the perfect household fuel.”

Canmore Mines advertised in 1952 that their “Nu-Seam” briquettes were weather proofed and dust-treated and was Canada’s hottest fuel.

Coal companies usually had distinct trade names for their coal like Drumheller ’s Atlas Coal Mine’s “Wildfire Coal.”

Sometimes suppliers randomly painted pieces of their coal with bright paint to distinguish them from other products.

Bryan Mountain hard coal, south of Hinton in the old Coal Branch area, was sold as Phoenix Premium Elkhorn Stoker coal. Their ad said their coal was: “Now Available

in New 2 inch by 12 inch Domestic Furnace Size.”

Lethbridge Collieries ads said: “Good Coal Makes Warm Friends” and sold Galt Mine Coal – “Burns All Night” and Cadillac Coal – “High In Heat.”

All across Western Canada coal products were marketed aggressively and with the assurance that theirs were the best burning, highest calorie and cleanest coals around.

Literacey Foundation, a program for everyone around John Kinnear Feature Writer

Last week’s letter to the editor by Grade Five student Austin Ouellet about the significance of the 1 Book 5 Schools program within the Crowsnest Pass Literacy Foundation was impressive. It speaks to his passion and reveals a good level of English abilities for his age.

That’s what literacy is about. The ability to read and write competently within our complicated modern society. It is important to remember that not everyone moves through the school system at the same rate. Illiteracy has a real stigma around it and this group has collectively worked hard with other organizations to eliminate it.

Their goal is to bring literacy to the community in a nonthreatening way that supports families of the Crowsnest Pass and surrounding area.

Chairman of the board, Dorothy Gierulski, a tireless advocate for the foundation, summed it up nicely in some comments she shared with me recently. “As a child attends school in the early grades, the letters and sounds have little meaning by themselves. Then they start to

piece them together, letter by letter, word by word, sentence by sentence. Add pictures and the meanings of the words start to make sense. Soon they understand what the words mean and challenge themselves to books with less pictures and more difficult words. They start to predict, use background knowledge and experiences, begin to comprehend and actually start to enjoy reading, not just because it has been assigned to them.

Now, let’s go back to grade one with a child who does not grasp the sounds and letters. The child does not understand why the teacher keeps asking them to try to learn the sounds. What is the big deal? Each year the teacher adds on new challenges in reading and the child becomes more frustrated with each challenge and starts to resist and withdraw. By upper elementary, the gap becomes obvious and reading is such a chore. The student is now lagging behind in other subjects as well. Labels start to come into the picture and the child shuts down. Self doubt, feelings of utter frustration and the word "dumb" starts to

Council Hold Second Public Hearing on Short-term Rentals and Tourist Homes DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Council held their second public hearing for the proposed Bylaw to regulate Short-term Rentals and Tourist Homes.

The Public Hearing saw roughly 150 people attend and provided residents another chance for their opinions to be heard on the bylaw.

There were also 131 written submissions that can be viewed on the municipal website.

The overwhelming majority of people who spoke at the public hearing believe some type of regulations are necessary

in order to ensure both everyday residents and operators are happy.

One resident who owns an AirBnB in the Crowsnest Pass says she hopes Council will reconsider some of the current regulations in the bylaw.

"I'm passionate about hosting travellers from all over the world and showing them all the Crowsnest Pass has to offer. We should not be limiting accommodation options for travellers to the Crowsnest Pass. My hope is that you will regulate, because we are not afraid of regulations. We hope you don't attempt to pass a bylaw that is so heavy handed that none

of us are able to comply.

For example, the $2,000 business licence should be revisited. Many of these homes are not being operated full time. There are also other businesses that run in R1 areas. Will these businesses be subject to these fees? Also the 250m rule will close down some homes. This may be your goal but keep in mind that to have enough rooms to accommodate a tourism industry, these homes are needed."

Another residents also said these types of homes fill a certain role in tourism and there is a positive way of moving forward.

"There are times where hotels don't work.

Having small kids and being in a smaller space doesn't work. People have a choice where they are going to go on vacation and I think that's something the Council really needs to think about.

I believe the regulations are very restrictive, which would eliminate a lot of the STR's. I think with proper regulations, which I think have been proposed, I think there could be a movement for tourism and making sure neighbours aren't negatively affected."

A third resident also spoke to the proposed bylaw and said that there

are many concerned residents wondering what direction the bylaw will go and also mentioned compared to other communities, the current proposed bylaw isn't over regulated.

"I would like to thank the Council and Administration for all the time and work that has been put into this. I've spoken to many people in the community on this issue and I can say the regulations are welcomed. I've spoken to business owners that don't want this activity in their own neighbourhood but won't speak up in fear of how it will affect their business with the local patrons. It's

unfortunate that this has causes division in our community. I've done a lot of looking at other communities and what their regulations are and theirs are either similar or stricter than what we have set out for regulations."

In total, 21 people spoke to Council during the public hearing.

At the end of the hearing, Council thanked everyone for their participation and informed the audience that Administration was taking note of all they mentioned and will make adjustments to the bylaw before moving forward.

The following topics were discussed at the Regular Council Meeting on Tuesday, May 3rd.

Chamber of Commerce Update Chamber of Commerce President, Daina Lazzarotto was present to provide Council with an update on their plans for 2022 and beyond.

Lazzarotto said the shop and eat local campaigns will return this year to help continue support for local businesses. The Best of Crowsnest Awards will also be back again to celebrate local businesses in the community. The Chamber also plans to look into the Lifestyle and Outdoor Adventure Show as there wasn’t as much interest in it this year which led to the Chamber not hosting it. Lazzarotto says she believes the higher cost to take part in the Crowsnest Pass show played a role in lower interest. Other plans for 2022 include Networking events, a visitor guide, contractors’ website, chamber plan benefits and continued economic recovery

for the community. The second part of the presentation asking for further support and to form a partnership with the municipality that includes good communication and information going both ways. Council agreed that this is something they want to have as well. All Council members said they look forward to growing a partnership with the Chamber of Commerce moving forward.

Bylaw 1114, 2022 – Land Use Bylaw Amendment The proposed bylaw involves the re-districting of Lots 3 & 4, Block 8, Plan 3319I, from Residential R-1 to Retail Commercial C-1 for the purpose of "Apartment Dwelling in conjunction with ground floor commercial or office use".

Presently, the subject properties are vacant and are part of the yard around the Old Courthouse. The proposed redistricting is part of a development permit for main floor "Office" or Retail Store" with "Apartment Dwellings" above the commercial space and in the rear of the lot.

The parcels to the east are in the Retail Commercial district and the proposed site plan includes the development of these lots. Lots 7-10 north of the existing building (Old Courthouse) was issued a permit under DP2022-007 for an "Apartment Dwelling in conjunction with ground floor of commercial or office use". The proposed development is along main street in Blairmore, which the Municipal Development Plan identifies as the Downtown corridor. Section 1.3.4 identifies mixed-use buildings as being, "critical to the success of downtown areas and should be promoted to provide alternative housing, increase densities and to help enliven downtown districts. Residential use shall not be permitted below the second storey of a commercial building except where accommodated in the rear of the building."

Following the presentation of information to Council, Councillor Filipuzzi made a motion for first reading and the motion was carried.
