The Simple Raven’s Post by Avner Perl
The election is over, yeah! If there ever was a time when I felt we didn’t need an election, it is now. In my long life, I saw some bad times, but it seems as if now it’s the worst. I will not bore you with the list of crises that we must promptly deal with, since you all know them. (A few deny it.) Can I prioritize? Hardly. I guess that the worst on the list is the attitude of some fellow humans that nothing should be done and things will improve on their own. I calculate this to be our worst enemy. When they say nothing should be done, they forget that most of our problems we caused and we must fix. At the time I am writing these words, the election is three days away and when you are reading, it will be three days gone. We may have some results. The big question everyone is trying to answer is, did we need elections now? I didn’t think so, yet the strategists tasked with determining if we do or not did. We can blame Trudeau for it, but we know he wouldn’t decide such a step without careful studies and arguments amongst the experts, followed by the caucus and the party hierarchy. The results are a calculated risk that they felt they had to take. We had a strong minority government enjoying opposition support for most measures needed for dealing with the crisis the country and the world are facing. No credible political party wanted to see the country plunged into chaos, despair, and possibly fighting. The solution was to pump money into the economy in such a way that the economy would not collapse. How it should be done was debatable. If you pump money in, you stimulate whatever it is, but you must eventually take it back out or have other problems and it hurts. People demand politicians give them good times constantly. Whatever comes out of the 2021 elections is now determined. The people will have spoken. Now we must get ready for the next elections, which I believe will be Civic elections and after that, the big one, the Provincial elections. We are called to make choices all the time and if we make wrong choices; we pay dearly. As proven in the last little while, some will pay with their lives. How should people choose who should be handed the reins, be the leader, decide governing all aspects of our lives, even life itself? At the same time, how can we recruit suitable candidates and retain them?

Some will run for the prestige of being leaders. A guy fixed my washing machine and told me he was the mayor of a tiny hamlet. Why? Some may do it for the pay, directly or indirectly. Some have a hidden agenda. They wish to achieve something that will pay off and can only be done if there is political will. They may have pure intentions like, for example, building a new Seniors Centre in town, or may want to sell some parklands to a friend who will reward them somehow later. These days people get into politics often to promote the political or economic core beliefs of an established party. The Right believes that private enterprise will stir society in the best way and the Left is the opposite. They want people, through democratic controls, stirring society in a predetermined direction for other reasons than personal gain. Each has advantages and setbacks. Some politicians wish to advance a religious way of life or open the door for making profits where they are now restricted, like in health care, for example. The opposite would be those fighting for Pharmacare. Drug companies will lose billions if governments will negotiate the best prices for their products and charge them for the publicly funded research constantly done. We are back to the base question. How do we get politicians who will act on our behalf and be competent? I would say the first step is to pay for what they are worth. Second, have a system to recall them if they fail miserably. Third, make the Media accountable and demand accountability. They/we used to be that way much more than we are now. How do we choose who to vote for? We could have professionals develop a test that each citizen can perform on every politician. Computers can help a lot. I watched the last provincial elections here and in other provinces. It was easy to determine that some leadership hopefuls either didn’t publish their platforms or promised things that couldn’t be achieved. This, in my opinion, should be published for all to see and possibly punishable by law. Elections should not be a contest for who is the best in telling lies but for who is willing to do the most work towards making life safe and enjoyable for all voters. Consideration should be given also for fairness and good moral standards. We should have leaders who are capable, hardworking, and give us a good example. I watch the news to see what I can learn from these elections to help me decide my actions in the next two. Right now, I may live or die by the actions of those “free” to spread a virus. Only politicians with backbone can save me. I watch and memorize which of them chose steps to let me live. In the next two elections, that will be the first bar they must clear if I may vote for them. Did they take steps to protect me and the millions of Albertans who are like me? Will my representatives publicly take a stand to choose “Life,” my life. If they coddle the “freedom terrorists” (My opinion), I am not even considering the rest of their opinions and let the people speak.

Harvest of Memories a go Fundrasier to be virtual again this year DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
The Harvest of Memories Fundraiser will once again be run virtually this year. After seeing the Covid-19 numbers rising again and with new restrictions coming into place, organizers decided to keep the event fully virtual. Executive Director for the Crowsnest Museum, Chris Matthews, says original planning focused on virtual events with the hopes of adding in person activities but it just wasn’t possible. “We made the call early to focus on virtual. If the numbers looked promising we would've added in person elements but that didn't happen so everything is virtual again this year.” Matthews says the event will end up looking very similar to last year. “It'll be much like last year's broadcast and auction. We're trying to jazz it up a bit this year. Already, the online auction is up and live. People can go bid on there. There are 50/50 tickets, raffles and simple donation options there as well. That can all be found on https://www.crowsnestmuseum.ca/hom. That is where all the details of the event are.” This year’s goal for the fundraiser is $30,000.
The event has already seen great community support. “We've had great support from the community both in sponsorships and donated items for the fundraiser. We're at around 80 items to bid on
with a lot of great local artists. We have Kevin Smith playing live in studio. That will be fun and a new element this year. We've got lots of pre recorded entertainment from local artists lined up to be played as well.

right now. There may be some more trickling in as well. We've seen a lot of support across the board.” The main broadcast will be held on September 25th from 7pm-9pm. Matthews says it will be accessible in multiple locations. “We will be streaming that online on our YouTube channel and our other social media platforms as well. It was also confirmed that Shaw cable will be airing the event on the local Shaw channel. They will pick up our feed and broadcast it from 7pm-9pm as well.” The broadcast will feature lots of different elements. “It will be a fun telethonesque broadcast
We're also hoping to add some other fun stuff into the broadcast to mix it up as well and we have great local talent Krista McDonald who will host broadcast for us. It should be fun.” The online auctions will wrap up at 8:50pm on the 25th right before the end of the broadcast. Matthews says he’s grateful for the support that’s been shown already and that he’s hoping that support continues through the end of the event. “It's been really fantastic the amount of support we've had for this event this year. We can't thank the community enough. The best way to support is to get onto the online auction and put some bids in.”

~ Letters to the the Editor ~
Editorial Well, with palms sweating, I walked into the Municipal Office on Monday, September 20 for Nomination Day. I’ve been fence-sitting for a while now wondering if I should run again. It’s a tough job being on Council and over the past three years I’ve taken a lot of flack on social media. However, this is why I’m running for re-election. I believe a Councillor needs at least two terms to be truly effective. It took me over a year to figure out the job and by the end of the first term I was finally comfortable. There are several projects that came to fruition right at the end of my term, most notably Crowsnest Crossing. For once we are ready to develop the old Crowsnest Centre lands and I want to be there when it happens. I also believe in attainable housing and I really want to make sure those in our community have somewhere to live; basic dignity shouldn’t be for a select few. I want to see what happens with the coal issue and if it’s a no go, I want to help move this community forward in another direction. I also have to say that spending the last four years with this Council has been an absolute pleasure. We didn’t always agree, however we were always a team trying to move this community forward. I have a special relationship with every person on that Council and a tremendous amount of respect for them as well. I have tried to help people that walked in the door of the Pass Herald with a Council issue and I’ve truly tried to help them, even if my answers were not what they wanted to hear. I’m honest and I have integrity and I fight for what I believe. That’s just who I am. I learned from my mom to represent everyone, whether they are a prince or a pauper. There are things I could have done better and I’m ready to apply my experience for the betterment of our community. Someone said to me, “Lisa you will have a tough time getting re-elected. Lots like you. Lots don’t”. I’ve thought about that comment a lot. I guess I really am one of those people that you either like or don’t, but even if you don’t I hope that at least you respect me. That I can live with. People are upset when they lose, it darned near killed my mom, but I’ll tell you this. No matter how an election turns out it’s a statement from the public that you either resonated with them or you didn’t. I shouldn’t be your representative if you don’t resonate with my words and actions. There is nothing embarrassing about that, in fact, it’s wonderful to know you either related to people and their vision of the community, or you don’t. Ultimately the voter makes that decision. So here we go, it’s time to put up a new set of signs and do what I’ve most recently done for our Member of Parliament, try to win an election. Either way it has been a privilege to represent you for the last four years and I look forward to the next four. Back to my family this is my message to heaven. Mom, I hope you are smiling and giving Buddy sh*t for telling me I should never run. I’m pretty sure if I close my eyes and concentrate really hard, I can hear you arguing. LS

Municipality of Crowsnest Pass implements Restriction Exemption Beginning September 20, the Municipality will be implementing the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) as set out by the province at the MDM Community Centre. In order to meet the restrictions set out by the province, all patrons aged 12 and up wishing to access the MDM Community Centre will be required to show: • proof of vaccination • single dose accepted between September 20 and October 25 if received 2 weeks before time of service • double doses required after October 25 • documentation of
a medical exemption • proof of a privately paid negative PCR or rapid test within 72 hours of service (tests from AHS or Alberta Precision Laboratories not allowed) We understand many people are experiencing difficulties in acquiring some of this documentation due to the province’s website access. To assist you with this, you can contact your local pharmacist, the Health Unit (403-562-5030) or sign up for your MyAlberta Digital ID (https://account.alberta.ca/). Municipal Office At this time, the Mu-
nicipal office in Coleman is not required to implement the REP. Mandatory masking remains in place. If you are having difficulty accessing your health records, please contact us at 403-562-8833 and we will discuss alternative ways to assist you. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we struggle through these difficult and everchanging situations. Elks Hall and Crowsnest Sport Complex The Elks Hall and Crowsnest Complex will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis through our local community services office until regular sea-
sonal programming resumes at those locations. Once regular programming resumes, we will provide an update. Gymnastics At this time, the Municipality will not be implementing the REP for Gymnastics as our users are under the age of 12. We ask parents to pick up and drop off children at the front door. However, in the special circumstances that require parents to join their children in certain programs, parental access will be permitted providing the parents can meet REP requirements listed above.
Chamber of Commerce is here to help business members We understand that there is a lot of emotion based around the Government of Alberta’s announcement last night. We received an email at 7:30 PM last night with the opportunity to sit in on an 8:30 PM meeting with the Hon. Minister Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs, Economy, and Innovation along with Hon. Associate Minister Nate Horner, and MLA Martin Long, Parliamentary Secretary for small business and tourism. The meeting was organized as a roundtable discussion on the effects of the newly implemented COVID-19 meas-
ures. Some notes we gathered include: The Restriction exemption program was created to keep businesses open and keep impact on hospitals down. The government received a lot of negative feedback regarding the 10 PM curfew for liquor sales. Implementing the exemption program will give businesses an opportunity to have liquor sales past 10 PM. Friday, September 17th we can expect a list of businesses that will be exempt from the program, products/services that people have the right to that the government
cannot deny them. Businesses do not need to apply for the program. Employees participating in the program DO NOT need to be vaccinated. A question of concern was who will police this program? The practical approach suggested is if you know of someone not complying is to call AHS. Businesses expressed concern for their safety, there have been a lot of disgruntled customers with the mask mandate, and they worry this will only push people farther. Businesses are urged to
call 911 if they feel their or their employees’ safety is at risk. Masks will still be required at events if you are double vaccinated and for those participating in the exemption program. Spectators are allowed at kids sports at 1/3 fire code capacity. Alberta Chamber of Commerce expressed their concern for businesses continuing to be misclassified and the Alberta Biz Connect page not being a clear enough channel for businesses. Businesses expressed they would like signage available like the mandatory mask signs.

Simply Selles Musings from your local reporter For the first time over the course of Covid-19 I’m truly frustrated with some of the decisions made by the Alberta government. Now I know the whole Covid-19 debate is a contentious one at the best of times but I want to get some of my thoughts out there. On the topic of vaccine passports, I’m thankful the province implemented some type of program and I think that allowing negative tests to provide access as part of the program was an important inclusion. Some people have truly valid reasons for not getting the vaccine and to ensure they had a way to access recreational activities and businesses was important. I personally know a few people (some are good friends) who haven’t gotten the vaccine and still don’t plan to and will take the negative test route when attending certain events and activities. I feel it’s important to understand that after 19 months of this, we need to begin moving forward. I think that’s something everyone can agree on and if this Restriction Exemption Program can help do that, I’m all for it. The one thing I’m questioning from the latest government announcement is the restrictions on vaccinated Albertans being able to gather together. The vaccines work. While it’s still very possible to get Covid with the vaccine and also spread it to others, if vaccinated, the likelihood of being hospitalized goes down severely. The numbers provided on September 17th showed that 88 per cent of people in the hospital due to Covid19 are unvaccinated and another six per cent are only partially vaccinated. Only six per cent of people in hospital in Alberta are fully vaccinated. When it comes to the 215 people in the ICU, 93 per cent are unvaccinated or partially vaccinated. The reasons for the restrictions are to let our health units catch up and make sure we have space for people who need it, whether due to Covid or other illnesses and injuries. With a working vaccine, I can’t understand why vaccinated individuals aren’t able to visit with anyone and anytime. It’s quite clear that vaccinated individuals aren’t the reason for large numbers of Covid patients in hospitals. Throughout the entirety of Covid-19 I’ve never been one to argue or complain with people on the other side. At the end of the day, they have the freedom to make their choice just as I did. The frustration comes up when due to hospital numbers I’m limited in what I can do. I still truly believe we’re nearing the end of this but until we reach it, we all have to continue to do our part.

New Music Maestro Club coming to Crowsnest Pass
Cecilia Dyck will be moving to the Crowsnest Pass in October and will begin teaching her Music Maestro Club classes once she arrives. These classes provide kids with the chance to learn about all different aspects and types of music and will serve as a solid base to further their love of music. Submitted photo
DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
Cecilia Dyck has been teaching music in multiple capacities for over 30 years and now she is planning to take her teaching to the Crowsnest Pass. She has some history as a full band teacher but has mostly done individual or small group lessons. Dyck will be moving to the Crowsnest Pass in October and is planning to begin her Music Maestro Club for kids aged 812. Dyck says the age limit can be spread out a little as long as the kids are able to read. Dyck says her first memories of music came from her mom putting her in piano lessons. "I don't really ever remember having an interest in music originally but my mom wanted to put me in Kindergarten a year early but the school wouldn't let me because of my birthdate. My mom said I needed something to do so she got me a piano. She tried getting me in lessons when I was five and I guess I liked it." Dyck says her first
lessons would begin shortly after she moves to the Pass. The club also gives kids a chance to learn music on a broad scale. "They sign up for 12 week levels. Each level has a different theme. The first level is rhythm and pitch or imitation. They learn voice and drums in that level. The next level is keyboards. Level three is stringed instruments like guitars and violins and level four is woodwind instruments but it's more of ensemble work and we put together everything we learnt from the other levels. At the end of each level we always have a special performance. The goal of the music clubs is that it introduces kids to all instruments and by the end of all the levels, they would be able to transfer their knowledge to any instrument." The idea behind small classes is that it gives the kids more time with Dyck. "It's good for kids to be in small groups. They are semi private music lessons. There are only about 4 kids in each class. There is a lot of one-onone time. They learn the
instruments and it's good because there's a little bit of pressure in that they can hear others playing and know if they have to improve their skills but it's not a huge group where they get lost. It's a happy balance between being together with their friends and encouraged with their friends while also getting that one-onone time," said Dyck. Dyck says she has some success with previous classes and most of her students continue music past her classes. "The first years I taught it, those kids are all graduated now and almost all of them are doing something with music now." The type of classes Dyck offers allows students a chance to always look forward to learning something new. "There is always something new, so children are always inspired with curiosity of learning. Every 3 months there is a change of instruments which build on the previous level," said Dyck. Anyone interested in signing up their children can do so by calling or texting 250-315-0022.

Crowsnest Pass Municipal Council news and updates DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
The following topics were discussed at the Regular Council Meeting on Tuesday, September 14th. Mohawk Meadows Bylaw 1088, 2021 – Municipal Reserve closure and removal of MuReserve nicipal designation on a portion of Lot 15MR, Block 5, Plan 8311587 The subject MR parcel is located adjacent to the MDM Community
Centre and an existing, undeveloped subdivision (Mohawk Meadows). On July 6, 2021 Council approved the conditional sale of two portions of Lot 15MR, Block 5, Plan 8311587 to the adjacent landowner for consolidation with the adjacent undeveloped lots. The surveyor has now provided the Municipality with the description and the size of the portion of Municipal Reserve to be closed. Councillor Anctil moved for second reading and the motion was car-
ried. Councillor Filipuzzi then moved for third and final reading and that motion was also carried. Redesignation of former Hillcrest Ball Diamonds Bylaw 1090, 2021 Land Use Bylaw Amendment - Redesignate Lots 17-18, Block 41, Plan 5150S (Hillcrest) from "Recreation & Open Space- RO-1" to "Duplex Residential R-2" The proposed bylaw involves the re-designation of Lots 17 & 18, Block 41, Plan 5150S from

The current lots are zoned Recreation and Open Space RO-1 with a combined area of 733.6 square metres.

The surrounding properties are zoned as Recreation & Open Space RO-1 to the north and west, Residential R-1 to the east and Public P-1 to the south. Councillor Ward made a motion for second reading and that motion was carried. Councillor Glavin then made a motion for third and final reading. That motion was also carried.

Councillor Glavin made a motion for second reading and that motion was carried. Councillor Filipuzzi then made a motion for third reading. That motion was also carried. LUB Use - Family Campground Councillor Ward had requested that Council have further discussion
on the LUB use of Family Campground, after a recent request for a LUB amendment. Councillor Ward began the discussion by saying he wants to make sure Council had proper discussion on this topic. "I hate just changing the land use bylaw on a whim or as a quick part of a discussion on another subject. I asked it to come back to see if there was any debate or interest on this issue. My concern is that when I look at the definition in the Land Use Bylaw, it talks about immediate family in temporary situations, which I think is probably impossible to enforce and what is the definition of immediate and temporary? To be honest with you, after further thought, depending on what the rest of Council thinks, I have no problem striking this. There are other definitions within the bylaw that cover this area off." Mayor Painter said he fully agreed with Councillor Ward’s comments. Following the discussion, Councillor Girhiny made a motion that Administration remove campground family from the Land Use Bylaw. The motion was carried.
Fire & Rescue, Community Peace Officer Program and Agriculture/Field Services
Fire Rescue One of the biggest frustrations in emergency response is when we have difficulty locating a person’s physical address, when people are needing help. Displaying civic addressing poorly (or some cases missing entirely) causes significant delays in us finding the specific location of the emergency. Due to the nature of our business, we need to get to you very quickly and not having a visible address really slows us down. For those reasons, and the requirements under the Civic Addressing Bylaw, we need you to do your part by ensuring your street address is highly visible from the street. We hosted an activity station for the CNP40 Amazing Race on September 11th. This has been one of the highlights of the year for me! If you ever want to get a smile on your face, I would strongly encourage you to get involved with this. It promotes strong teamwork and kids’ activity which are wonderful things for a young adult to do on the weekend. I can’t even imagine the effort that the event staff must put in to pull off such a firstrate event. This really pulls the community together and is so positive!

Cabin Ridge makes submission to Coal Committee DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
As part of the coal consultation process, Cabin Ridge has made submissions to the Coal Policy Committee to provide information on what coal mining in Alberta would look like from Cabin Ridge’s perspective and to also provide clarity on the quality of coal Alberta has to offer. Chief Development Officer for Cabin Ridge, Brad Johnston, says he made the submission to provide clarity on the feedback that Alberta’s coal is has a lower quality than that of BC. "There is a variety of feedback from people that are opposed to the potential development that the coal in Alberta is of an inferior quality to that which exists in BC. In the case of Cabin Ridge
and certainly from the public disclosure of Atrum, that is factually incorrect. As a mining engineer, I wanted to address that," said Johnston. "There are two individuals in particular, Dr. Langenberg and Mr. Kolijn, who made these assertions. I thought their papers were factually flawed or factually incorrect or inconsistent with what exists in the public domain. I felt, at least in the case of Cabin Ridge, from what I see as a mining engineer, the quality is amongst the best I've seen in my career, if not the best." In the submission to the Coal Policy Committee from Cabin Ridge, they state there are significant factual errors made in Dr. Langenberg and Mr. Kolijn’s presentations.
“The most significant factual errors in the Langenberg and Kolijn presentations are that of assuming that all of the Crowsnest Pass coal production will all be lower quality Hard Coking Coals. As is outlined in detail in this report, in the case of CRPL that assumption is factually incorrect. The consequent assumptions of Langenberg and Kolijn regarding unreliable production and markets for sales (in industry this is referred to as being a “swing” supplier) is therefore also factually incorrect. The high quality of CRPL’s production means that CRPL coal is expected to be a contributor to an increase in Blast Furnace (BF) efficiency, thereby allowing for lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced by the BF. It does
not strain credibility to model that due to public policy on carbon pricing that future demand for steel making coal will in part be driven by CO2 emissions from the BF occurring during the initial reduction of the iron ore to steel. Therefore, high quality HCCs, such as is found in the CRPL tenement, will be in great demand in jurisdictions that are not ideal for the alternative steel making technologies mentioned but not detailed in the Langenberg and Kolijn presentations. This logical conclusion and the emissions lowering opportunities that it presents is also not detailed in either the Langenberg or Kolijn presentations.” Johnston says the information these two people provided is simply incorrect.
"It is misleading on the part of these two individuals to say the coal in Alberta in consistently inferior. It's not true. It's incorrect and I wanted to address that in my submission." Johnston also says that he feels he presented solid information to the Coal Policy Committee and believes they will take that information and use it in their decision making process. "In my view, I've presented a pretty good summary of the data as well as referenced some things that are in the public literature. I trust the Coal Policy Committee will review that and I hope take that into consideration when they make their submission to the Crown." Johnston feels he’s done his job by providing
this information to the Coal Policy Committee and the public. "My point was to correct those factual errors. I believe I've done that. The last point I want to make is at least some of the properties in the eastern slopes have the potential to be world class quality operations should they be allowed to proceed. That's a fact. That's not an opinion. That's in the data. I just wish that to be known by the Coal Policy Committee and indeed by members of the public including people in the Crowsnest Pass. These reserves will be dependable and reliable. They will not be up and down producers as has been asserted by Dr. Langenberg. I wanted to make sure that people were aware of that fact."
Dealing with Wildlife Attractants in Blairmore PreSS releaSe The Protective Services Enforcement Branch would like to notify the public that the department has received an overwhelming number of calls, complaints, and requests for service from Members of the public regarding wildlife attrac-
tants particularly between 113 Street and 129 Street (Centre Access) on 21 Avenue and 22 Avenue in Blairmore. Officers are aware that a young, determined, and hungry black bear has been seen in this area and we have been made aware that several
residences along 21 Avenue and 22 Avenue have some type of wildlife attractant in their yard. Specifically, Officers have been notified of several apple trees that were ripe several days ago and have now begun to rot. In addition, Officers were made aware that a resi-
dent may be using baking sheets (or similar) to place bird seed or bird feed out on the ground in their backyard. We would like to remind the public that once something has been determined to be a wildlife attractant, you must remove the item(s) immediately or you could be charged pursuant to the Animal Control Bylaw. In an effort to “Keep our Wildlife Wild”, Community Peace Officers will be proactively patrolling throughout the
area identified above during the next several days. Peace Officers will also be working closely with the Crowsnest Pass Bear Smart Association and Alberta Fish and Wildlife Officers to deter the bear seen in the area and encourage residents to remove anything that may be a wildlife attractant. Residents may also hear “bear bangers” and other deterrence methods in use throughout the Municipality over the next several days and weeks and are encouraged to allow officers
and volunteers the space to effectively deter the animal from becoming habituated. If residents see a bear in their neighborhood, please contact the Alberta Report a Poacher Line (RAP Line) at 1-800-6423800 or Crowsnest Pass Bear Smart Association at 403-563-8723. If you would like to report a Wildlife Attractant, please visit the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass website to complete an online submission bylaw complaint.

~ OBITUARIES ~ HAROLD NORMAN KIND May 30, 1952 – September 11, 2021
Harold was taken suddenly on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. Left to grieve his passing is his beloved wife of forty-four years, Linda; his mother, Ruth; his brothers, Gerald (Kathy) and Norbert; numerous nieces and nephews; and too many friends to name, but they know who they are. He will be especially missed by his therapy dog, Goliath. He was predeceased by his father, Herbert Kind. Harold was born in Wertingen, Germany on May 30, 1952 and his family emigrated to Canada that same year. He matured into a hardworking young man who won the heart of the lovely, Linda Cooper. The happy couple married on April 13, 1977. In 1991, they relocated from Port Alberni, BC to the Crowsnest Pass, AB where they made many lifelong friends and countless wonderful memories. Harold was a machinist by trade, but he also enjoyed creating his own projects at home. When he wasn’t busy working, he took every opportunity he could to appreciate the outdoors while hunting, fishing and camping. He also liked watching NASCAR, going diving and playing pool and socializing at the Coleman Seniors’ Centre. Harold’s commitment to his community was evident through his involvement with the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation where he served as President, and with the Crowsnest Pass Quad Squad where he served as Treasurer. His love for and dedication to his family and friends will be deeply missed and forever remembered. A Memorial Service hounoring Harold’s life will be held at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel (13461 – 20 Ave., Blairmore, AB) on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 at 1:00pm with Pastor Al Robinson officiating. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be a maximum of fifty people allowed to attend he Memorial Service. Please RSVP on the Fantin’s website if you plan to attend. The service will also be live-streamed through the Fantin’s website. Please visit the website for further details about the live-stream. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the charity of your choice. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Strong winds topple trees
Strong winds over the weekend wreaked havoc causing trees to crack and collapse under severe pressure. Some of the wind damage occurred on 78 Street in Coleman where a tree fell due to wind and trees also collapsed at Flumerfelt Park. John Kinnear photos
16 – Crowsnest PAss HerALD – Wednesday, September 22, 2021
Livingstone School Visual Arts Livingstone School is excited to share some of our photographic works with the Crowsnest Pass Herald! This week, our students focused on the principles of design: unity, movement, contrast, pattern, rhythm, emphasis, and balance. Our students took a number of photos from around the school and though there were a ton of excellent photos, these three have been selected based on their composition and use of the principles of design. We are looking forward to our next challenge and hope you enjoy our students' photographic works! - Ian Poole – Visual Arts Teacher Livingstone School

I like this photo because it has good contrast and balance. This photo brings to light the book in the front and fades all other books around it. It shows that this book is better than all the others. Morgan Dingreville - Grade 11

The attempt was to get the photo at a good enough angle to make it look as if the swings were moving. The swing on the left was still while the swing on the right was in motion. Austin Hartgerink - Grade 11

I saw the needles of the tree and thought it would be a good subject. I played with the focus and it came out well. Zack Hann - Grade 11
