Summer Plans and local events at local tourist stops Check out the Bellevue Mine, Crowsnest Museum and Frank Slide Interpretive Centre this summer DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

With the official start of summer under a month away, local tourist spots are preparing for the floods of locals and visitors that come along with it.

The Bellevue Mine, Crowsnest Museum and Frank Slide Interpretive Centre all have different

events that people can go and see throughout the summer months.

Bellevue Mine At the Bellevue Mine, their summer plans begin with taking part in the Bellecrest Days Parade on June 21st and will also have tours throughout that weekend.

mer event will take place in August with the Miners’ picnic.

This event will give families the opportunity to come to the mine and enjoy a day of food and fun with different events for the kids.

“We're going to have a geologist set up with a table to do some teaching. The kids are going to bring in their own rocks that they want assayed and they can bring them to him and he can explain what they are and where they come from,” said Manager, Brandy Gregory.

Visitors will also be able to experience the mine throughout the day with tours occurring every half hour.

Gregory says it’s one of the mine’s biggest events of the year.

“We’ve got a lot of sponsors for the event.

Riversdale is going to be supplying all the food.

We’ve got the Lions club coming in to cook for us as well.”

For anyone not able to make these dates, the mine is also open seven days a week for July and August from 10am-6pm and Gregory says it’s a great experience.

“It is a fantastic tour.

It's great for anybody that's into science and geology, anyone who's a history buff. It's fantastic for anyone who wants to learn about the history of mining or the Crowsnest Pass because there's a lot of Crowsnest history involved.”

The mine is also able to take on extra staff

throughout the summer months and since the mine operates on grants as a non-profit, part of the staffing is paid for by Canada Works, which allows students the chance to come and work before returning to post secondary.

Gregory also says that the Mine has worked at making the tours more accessible for wheelchairs and seniors to make sure everyone has a chance to enjoy the Mine this year.

Crowsnest Museum At the Crowsnest Museum, their summer plans also begin with taking part in the Bellecrest Days Parade in June.

They also plan to take part in the Canada Day Parade as well.

Other events and activities for the museum include a three-prize raffle that is currently taking place and will lead into summer, Heritage Day events at Flumerfelt Park and their Teddy Bear’s Picnic and they are also beginning to prepare for their annual Harvest of Memories fundraiser.

The raffle prizes include an original Coleman Rodeo poster printed in an old Coleman Journal as first prize, a signed Winnipeg Jets jersey by Captain Blake Wheeler and two tickets to a Tim McGraw concert on July 14th in Calgary. The Museum will begin announcing the prize winners on Canada Day with the draw for the Tim McGraw tickets.

The other prizes will be announced later on in the summer.

Visitors to the Museum on Canada Day will receive free admission as well, along with special events for kids.

The Teddy Bear’s Picnic will allow families to enjoy another part of Heritage Days and kids will have plenty of activities during that time in August as well.

For the Harvest of Memories event in late September, plans are still being made but the evening will include a

silent auction along with a dinner and a dance.

President of the Historical Society, Pat Rypien, says the people who come always enjoy the event.

“It's a nice event.

People like to get dressed up and go out and we get a few people from out of town that support us and generally come for that.”

With the amount of visitors coming to the Museum increasing in the summer, the museum is able to get more help from summer students as well.

“We usually hire summer students so we've got two young girls that have started now and a young fellow that will start in July and they will work July and August when it gets a bit busier.”

The Crowsnest Museum is also able to give visitors other opportunities they wouldn’t get other times of the year because of the extra help they receive.

“We are able to open Alberta Provincial Police Building which is closed over the winter due to the lack of help, we are able to open it over the summer and people are able to tour through there.”

The Museum extends their hours over seven days during the summer as well and will be open from 9am-5pm each day.

Frank Slide Interpretive Centre The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre has many different events occurring throughout this summer.

Their first event is a partnership event with the Crowsnest Heritage Initiative.

Both parties will be putting on a commemoration of the Hillcrest Mine disaster on June 23rd.

The event will take place at the Hillcrest Cemetery where there will be a small memorial service and tours of both the mine site and the cemetery will take place as well.

The next event for the Centre will take place

August 1st to 5th.

Their 14th annual Crowsnest Pass Doors Open and Heritage Festival will give visitors the chance to see the history of Frank Slide in a different way.

“The whole idea behind this event is to let people see behind the scenes. There’s some programming we wouldn't normally do. We open different buildings every year people can tour that normally aren't available to the public,” said Facility Manager, Monica Field.

This year’s theme for the Doors Open event is Coal Town Culture.

There will be a driving tour as part of this event that will show visitors a history of the Crowsnest Pass and all the different mines and their associated towns.

Field says there will also be other activities throughout those days as well.

On September 14th, Frank Slide Interpretive Centre will be doing a new event called Run the Rocks, which is a recreation of Sid Choquette’s run through the Frank Slide to flag down a passenger train the night of the slide.

We've got some cool ideas about taking people down along the old road with a lantern and giving people who don't want to run across the rocks a sense of what it might have been like,” said Field.

The Centre’s last big event will take place from September 27th29th.

Alberta Culture Days is another partnership event, this time with the Crowsnest Museum and the Crowsnest Public Art Gallery.

As part of this event, they will be launching the sixth comic of the historical comic series.

This comic is based on Black Beauty, the TRex that was found on the Crowsnest River.

On top of all these great events, the Centre will be open from 10am5pm until June 30th and then their hours will extend to 9am-6pm seven days a week.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Fire!!

Humans inhabited planet Earth for a very long time before the taming of fire. It was a cold dark existence, similar to that of other animals, and fear of fire was strong. Someone dared to take fire and use it and our civilization was born. Fire proved to be our best friend and worst enemy, depending upon how we handled it. Like most of the material things on Earth, it is a gift which requires proper handling by human intellect. Now fire is beneficial in huge nuclear reactors and in tiny one stroke engines. It provides us with easy safe lives such as never even imagined not that long ago. The benefits are tremendous but the dangers persist.

We live on the surface of a fireball spinning through space and we are fully dependent on radiation from a burning star. We use stored sun energy with fires of all kinds and we can use the radiation as it comes without burning. Solar, wind, gravity and nuclear power that doesn’t produce weapons-grade fuel are all available with more being discovered every day. Our most knowledgeable people have determined that we achieved a breaking point now, where using stored energy by means of fire harms our planet’s atmosphere and will make life impossible. The process has begun and there is only one solution available and only for a short time.

It is time again for humans to fear fire or, sadly for us, perish. The old people I knew in my childhood are all gone but I can tell you what they had in common. It was a fear of fire. For thousands of generations, our best friend fire was also our ultimate destroyer.

Just a few years ago, when I moved to a forested spot in a mountain town, my main joy was the wilderness feeling and the ability to have a fire outside. Now it has all turned around. We had a devastating fire in the Crowsnest Pass, the moisture in the ground disappeared and I am afraid of summers.

The big indicators of a climate catastrophe are, not the weather we experience, but moisture content in the soil and sea level all over the world. We now have documents indicating that as far back as 1977 the biggest oil company Exon Mobile did extensive research on the greenhouse effect. They determined that a danger exists and chose to bury the knowledge. Instead, they began to contribute to the elections of climate-denying politicians and continue to operate without ecological conscience.

Their investors are suing them for hiding the real value of the company.

I was watching a video titled: America Burning: The Yarnell Hill Tragedy and the Nation's Wildfire Crisis, about the 19 firefighters who perished in Arizona in 2013.

A young mother was describing her husband kissing her and the 3 and 5-year-old kids goodbye before going to fight fires. He, and another 18 like him, never came back. I stopped watching to pay attention to our new Premier talking about the ongoing early fires here in Northern Alberta, on Global News Calgary.

Our Premier stated that most fires are caused by human carelessness in throwing cigarettes from vehicles. Wrong Sir! It is human carelessness of creating climate change by burning oil. What starts the majority of fires are lightening striking overly dry forests. He announced a reduction of taxes and elimination of regulations which will increase the fires and floods plaguing our planet.

Premier Kenney talked about hundreds of families safely evacuated. Does he know how it is to leave your home and be evacuated? We the people of Crowsnest Pass, Pincher Creek, and Waterton know all about it. He mentioned “resources” being brought in to fight fires. Does he know the pain and sacrifice made by the “people” he calls resources? I wonder. I also question why we taxpayers have to foot the bill for fighting the well-predicted fires and the rebuilding after. I can see my insurance going sky high while oil companies profits are taxed less. I am no longer a Conservative but I know how to calculate costs.

In defense of the premier, we must recognize that there is another side to the argument. There are folks who believe that if we cut all the trees around human settlements, build many highways into forested areas, and somehow get rid of “lefties” and environmentalists, there will be no fires. The leader is obligated to listen and judge. I am afraid that my leader is not paying attention to the educated but to the greedy.

I love sitting by a campfire on a starry summer night with family and friends.

Lately, my firewood is unused black with mold and the stars are invisible behind the smoke. It is a new reality that I don’t enjoy. It bothers me that we were told that it will happen when I was still a young student and I and so many more, didn’t take action in time. We were intoxicated by our small portion of our oil revenues and chose to believe that all will be good.

In prehistory, we left the stone tools in favor of bronze and iron. We changed from sailing ships to steam and ditched horses for automobiles. Why is my generation so ignorant and use selective blindness when the situation is so critical.

Fire served us well but its time to use energy in new ways.

Editorial and Opinions how we treat our elderly says a lot This week I’m celebrating the seniors in our community.

Why is it our medical system treats the elderly as if they are expendable?

I had this conversation with a person in the Herald office just the other day and it got me thinking...

Our medical system is great if you are not overly sick or if you are young but man alive, if you are old, well, you might as well pack it in.

It’s honestly how I feel. I’ve watched three family members in our system. I watched how home care works, how the York Creek Lodge works and unfortunately, how awful long term care can be. Don’t get me wrong, we had some wonderful people watching over my parents, but I’ve also had some terrible ones.

I remember telling a PCA once that I prayed nightly that she would get old and sick like my mom and I hoped she had someone of a similar personality taking care of her.

It’s blows my mind that we are a society that in many situations don’t care for even take responsibility for the elderly.

It always surprised me when people would tell me how wonderful I was to take such good care of my parents. It actually used to make me mad. What do you mean? I’m not a “good person” for taking care of them; I’m their child, and it’s my responsibility to take care of them when life is at its worst.

Shouldn’t it be everyone’s responsibility? In Japan, the elderly live with their children.

They revere the aged.

Here, we stick them in a home and hope it’s not too much of an inconvenience.

I remember a family member telling me that they couldn’t spend time with my mom because they had a life to get back to. My response was, “You need to get up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror and it’s going to hurt if you don’t like what you see.”

I have learned that you see the true soul of a person when someone is sick, dying or there is money involved. True character, good and bad, eventually shows its face.

I have no regrets. I took care of my mom and dad every day for four years. I took care of Buddy, but in many ways, he took care of me, as well. Every day, I told them I loved them. Every day, I knew how precious my time was with them and when they all left me, I grieved, not because I felt guilt, but because I truly love and miss my time with them. I was given the privilege of watching them take their last breath on this earth and in life. How blessed was I. So take care of your family. Take care of the elderly. They made this country what it is.

They have history, they have stories and we should all listen to them. Perhaps if we did, we would have a much nicer world in which to live. They have seen war, famine and lived in an age without social media and cell phones. They lived in a time where people visited in person, where people played cards and family was a priority. Take care of our elders because they can teach us so very much.

~ Government Update ~

MP Barlow responds to Committee on Rural Crime OTTAWA - Last week, the Liberal-dominated public safety committee released a three-page report into rural crime in Canada. The minimal findings included in the report ignore witness testimonies and deflects responsibility to address the incidents of rural crime to the Provinces.

The Liberal report fails to address key issues which arose from witnesses including the lack of RCMP and police resources that lead to response delays in rural communities, it fails to clarify the vagueness of rules in the Criminal Code pertaining to property rights, self-defence and the “revolving door” in

the justice system. Nor does this report provide recommendations to address financial struggles, mental health and lack of services faced by victims.

Witnesses travelled from across Canada to Ottawa, sacrificing time from their family and jobs to provide their personal testimony and emotional accounts of their experiences of rural crime.

Foothills residents Eddie and Jessica Maurice were two of those witnesses as victims of a rural crime on their property in Okotoks, sharing their experiences and struggles which lasted for months following the incident.

The Liberals lack of response absolutely disre-

Bricks & Bouquets

spects the personal struggles and anxiety faced by families in rural communities who no longer feel safe in their own homes.

Rural crime in communities across Canada, especially here in Alberta, has been steadily increasing and law enforcement has been unable to mount an adequate response with the limited resources at their disposal. There is a duty and obligation for the Federal government to act on issues of rural crime and step up to protecting our residents.

Conservative MPs in Alberta formed a task force and submitted a fulsome report on rural crime to the committee with input from thou-

sands of Albertans which the Liberals completely ignored.

Liberals have once again exposed their callous attitude toward rural Canadians and their neglect to address the epidemic of rural crime. It is only when we put Canadians ahead of political allegiances we can address the need of the many victims of crime in rural communities.

Canada’s Conservatives will continue to stand up for rural communities and under leader Andrew Scheer we will fight for concrete actions to keep Canadians safe as we announced earlier this year in our Safe Communities policy.

BrICKs - To the lady driving a late model Ford truck. 132 St. and 14-19th Ave. is not your personal drag strip. There are small children in our neighbourhood. Slow down before we are all sorry.

BrICKs - To residents who dump their grass clippings and other yard waste over their fence into municipal parks. This creates a fire hazard.

Second book launch Local teacher publishes second book DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Holy Trinity Fundraising Committee proudly presents the th

7 Annual Spaghetti Supper

Local high school teacher and author Krysta MacDonald has recently released her second novel.

This book, titled, ‘To Air the Laundry’, takes place in 1969 in an unknown Canadian city.

“The entire book takes place in one day and it follows a woman who's been married for just under a year. She's trying to figure out her role. Plus something happened in her past that's a secret and she's spending today trying to decide if she should tell her husband or not. So there are all these little things that bring it up again and again throughout her day,” said MacDonald.

There is a small character overlay from her first book but MacDonald says this book isn’t necessarily tied together with her first.

“My first book, ‘The Girl with the Empty Suitcase’, followed this woman Danielle. She has a really complicated relationship with her mom. Her mom is now the subject of this book. So it's kind of like going back in time. This book is kind of based on the idea that everyone has more to them than what we know and I think for parents, they're only ever known as a kid’s parents, especially for moms. Moms give and give and give and they're always just this person’s mom. In the first book, I hinted that Sharon (the mom) has other stuff going on but I wasn't planning on writing another book about it at first but then I thought everyone's got a story of who they are before we meet them. So I just wanted to know more about Sharon's story.”

MacDonald says this book falls under women’s literature and is a literary fiction with an element of historical fiction as well and says the book is rather timely with some of the current events in the world.

MacDonald says it wasn’t planned but that having this book out now may provide people with an interesting topic to have conversation on.

When it comes to writing like this, MacDonald says she’s always had a passion for it.

“I've been writing little stories since I was 5 they just weren't that great. I was always interested in writing in general and then creative writing specifically. All through high school and university I was very interested in that. I always told myself I was going to write a book. A couple years ago I was thinking I didn't know why I hadn't written a book yet so I wrote one.”

Now as a teacher, she also has the opportunity to try to foster the creative writing in her students as well.

MacDonald says that her third book has been started but is in the very early stages.

“Book number three has been started. It's very early on in the process but I've got notebooks with plans and some ideas. That book will also be tied loosely to the other two.”

MacDonald says the books aren’t part of a series but that there is always a little overlap of characters in each of them.

On May 31st, MacDonald will be holding a book launch at the Blairmore Library from 6pm-8pm.

MacDonald will be doing a short reading from one of the chapters and will have a question and answer period and will also have some books available for purchase.

MacDonald says she’s happy with the community response and support she’s received.

“The community has been great about hosting events and supporting my book so I just hope that people like it.”

Steiger Flooring branches out DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Local flooring company Steiger Flooring is branching out and is now a dealer for Duradek.

The waterproofing and covering for decks has been around since 1974 and with Steiger Flooring now supplying it, Owner Chalmer Steiger says residents in the Crowsnest Pass and surrounding area don’t need to travel far to get their supply.

“A lot of builders in the area were going out of town to get Duradek because nobody had it here.

I got an opportunity to do a couple installations of it and got the dealership for that. There was no one carrying it between Fernie and Lethbridge so now I have this entire area.”

Steiger says he currently has one certified Duradek installer and recently sent another one out to Vancouver for training.

All of the Duradek product is stocked in Vancouver but Steiger says it’s still a fairly quick

process if someone wants to order it through him.

“It’s all order based.

It’s all stocked in Vancouver but it only takes a few days to get here. The logistics of it are pretty quick.

On top of this new addition to his stock, Steiger and his company have been supplying and installing different floor types in the area for the past 10 years or so.

“We supply and install just about every product on the market as far as flooring goes. We do hardwood, vinyl, tile, laminate and carpet. Basically everything that you

could need installed indoors we supply and install.”

Steiger says that anyone interested in ordering Duradek can contact him either by phone or come by the store.

Steiger will then come to the home to look at the areas and provide some samples for the homeowner as well as a quote for the total cost of the project.

Steiger flooring is open from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday and Steiger is also available by appointment only on weekends as well as after store hours.

“I am also working to learn the ropes of the Legislature. Proper protocols and connecting with support staff.”

Since gaining power in Alberta, the UCP party hasn’t wasted any time when it comes to making their mark on the province as the party already has multiple bills they are hoping to pass.

“We have an aggressive schedule of bills to

pass before we break for summer. We have already tabled Bill 1, to repeal the NDP’s job killing carbon tax, and will work to get another 11 bills through to create a business and investment environment re-established for Alberta.

We will also begin consultations with Albertans around farm safety, education and other elements of our platform,” said Reid.

While Legislature may break for the summer, Reid is planning to continue conversations

with constituents throughout the summer months.

“I am looking forward to getting out to as many events and activities this summer as I can.

We will have new constituency offices in High River and Pincher Creek opened by July 1 and will make myself as available as I can to meet with folks over the course of the summer.”

The Alberta legislature will have a twomonth break over August and September.

Simply Selles

by David Selles

Sometimes I feel like we don’t necessarily realize how short our lives are.

Everyone seems to just go about their lives day by day making plans for activities weeks in advance and are never really living in the moment.

Society hasn’t made it easier on us to just stop and live in the present either.

My family getaway every summer is a weeklong camping trip where we all try and spend time together.

Having my parents, five siblings and their families along with me all trying to find one week that works for everyone can get complicated at times especially considering four of my five siblings are married and have to try and allot time to their inlaws as well.

This usually means that we are planning our summer vacations when the snow is flying for the first time.

That’s life now.

Everyone knows how they want to spend their summers and need to ensure they are able to book their week or two weeks vacation months in advance or else there may not be anything left for that week everyone can get together.

But while all that is occurring, life is still happening and can blindside us with something we never thought could happen to us.

As a Christian, I don’t believe anything really happens by chance.

I believe that God is giving us constant reminders to live in the moment because our lives could change so drastically so quickly.

Whether it’s the loss of a job, a sudden illness or something else that we simply didn’t think would happen, we can get hit with that reminder.

Now, there isn’t anything wrong with looking forward to time spent with family and friends but there is something wrong with focusing so much on that time that we miss what’s right in front of us.

Let’s all take some time to cherish the moments we’re in right now.

Let’s take some of the sight to our future and put it back on today because if we don’t, those things we look forward to for so long will suddenly have passed as well.

Obituary

ALICE LINDERMAN (Nee: Anderson) December 17, 1928 – May 26, 201

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Alice Linderman on May 26, 2019 at the Crowsnest Pass Continuing Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. She was 90 years of age.

Alice appreciated the simple things in life; she didn’t need, or want, material items to make her happy. She was content taking care of her family and home, and enjoying her garden. Family meant everything to Alice. They could always count on her for love and support, and to have coffee and cookies ready whenever they visited her. Alice was a true lady, and her demure, pleasant manner will be missed by all who knew her.

Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life is her daughter, Debra (Dilip) Khumbare of Vaughn, ON; her sons, Wayne (Karin Johnson) Linderman of Bellevue, AB and Larry (Jeanne Ackles) Linderman of Bellevue, AB; her grandchildren, Mandy Dirk of Coleman, AB and Julie Veldman of Calgary, AB; her great grandchildren, Payton Dirk, Jerica Williams and Joshua Williams; her sisters, Gertrude Heibein of Eureka, MT and Astrid Masson of Coleman, AB; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

She was predeceased by her husband, Paul Linderman in 1964; her partner, Mike Svab in 2008; her parents, Axel and Hilda Anderson; and her sisters, Ruth Dompe of Leduc, AB and June Townsend of Vancouver, BC. With respect for Alice’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be gratefully accepted by the Crowsnest Health Foundation “Continuing Care” (PO Box 455, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Rob Parkins has been doing mechanical work in the Crowsnest Pass since 1979.

For 40 years he’s been working hard to ensure your vehicle is running smoothly.

At Integra Tires, Rob and his crew can pretty much do it all when it comes to ensuring your safety when driving.

From full mechanical work like oil changes, old transmission services and replacements and engine replacements to front end work and finding the tires you need, Integra does it.

Integra Tire can also do electrical fixes on trailers and can also repack bearings.

Integra can do any tires ranging from quad tires to loader tires and everything in between.

Since adding a new bay in February of 2018, Integra has been able to help their customers more and decrease wait times.

“The last year has been a big change since we've done the renovations. We've noticed a big change in customers and customer appreciation. Having a clean shop and a nice clean lobby for people to sit down now is a great addition for our shop. We have great customers and want the best for them.”

Integra strives to get customers in and out with great customer service.

Since starting out in 79 with just 3 employees, Rob now has a crew of 12.

Integra Tire is open from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and 8am-12pm on Saturday's with only tire work and no mechanical done on Saturday.
