Thank You The family of Rena King would like to thank so many people for being there for the short two months our dear mom/grandma/nana battled brain cancer. First, to Dr. Penner and her team for always being there when mom needed them. To the amazing staff at the Crowsnest Pass Hospital. There are just too many staff members to thank individually as you all showed so much love and a friendship to our mom. To all of moms amazing friends that stopped in so often just to visit. You made mom feel so special and kept her in positive spirits. All the hours each of you spent sharing stories made us all have good laughs during a difficult time. To moms’ dining room friends, Rose, Flo and Phyllis you made her time there so much better and she looked forward to her meal times. Thank you to everyone that brought and sent flowers, cards and food to us. To those that donated to the Long Term Care in our mom’s memory we thank you for supporting something that became special to mom in such a short time.

And finally, to Darrell at Fantins Funeral Home, your comfort and care to all of us during this difficult time did not go unnoticed.

Karelian Bear Dog Program update Dellrae Sharpe Vice President Crowsnest Pass BearSmart Association

The Karelian Bear Dog Program was started in April of 2001, under Natural Resource Services (now Environment and Parks) and was viewed as a new and effective management tool in conducting aversion on problem wildlife, reducing the amount of human/wildlife conflict and also to reduce the number of relocations and euthanasia of wildlife.

The program was canceled by decision of the Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch in November of 2017, at the time of the unexpected passing of the last working service dog.

Background The first two Kare-

lian’s to arrive in the Province were based out of the Crowsnest Pass District. In 2006 two more pups were added to the Provincial Program through successional planning.

Over the course of sixteen years the dogs were a part of the governments wildlife management program, involving but not exclusive to grizzly bears, black bears, moose, big horn sheep, and cougars.

Some of the noted activities these service dogs were involved in include: ➢ Tracking/Confirming the presence of predators within and around the urban areas ➢ Aversive conditioning (bark, chase, push) wildlife back into their natural habitat ➢ Reducing the man hours spent on pub-

lic complaints (by locating and effectively pushing the wild animal out of the area.) ➢ Reducing potential human/wildlife conflict and property damage by keeping wildlife out of urban areas or from rural homesteads and livestock. ➢ Officer Safety as partners in dangerous situations ➢ Mauling investigations: Karelian’s were used to track and identify offending wildlife. ➢ Tracking and locating injured wildlife reducing officer time and animal suffering ➢ Locating evidence for Officers during problem wildlife and enforcement investigations ➢ Locating and treeing cougars in urban areas ➢ Shepherding moose out of urban areas for public safety ➢ Shepherding bighorn sheep off of roadways and highways reducing mortality rate of the herds and vehicle collision and human injury or death ➢ Ambassadors for Alberta Government and other stakeholder groups The program was viewed as a proactive and preventative effort to reduce human/wildlife conflict, reduce relocations and euthanasia, reduce wildlife/vehicle collisions and reduce safety risks and property damage.

The Karelian’s were involved in many documentary films on Discovery Channel, National Geographic, including Dogs with Jobs and numerous local, provincial and federal news features reaching hundreds of thousands of people.

As well, they attended most community events, did educational

presentations at schools and public venues.

The loss of the Karelian Bear Program has been felt by our BearSmart Association who work tirelessly to aid in the reduction of human/wildlife conflict in our area, and the difference the dogs made while working in our community with our local fish and wildlife officers was invaluable.

BearSmart is a program that provides communities and its members with consistent education and training with respect to bear awareness and conflict prevention; with the ultimate goal of enhancing the opportunity for humans and bears to consist conflict free. With more and more people and communities encroaching into bear country, the issue of human/bear conflict has become more problematic, and most often the ultimate loser our wildlife. The BearSmart program and its successes are based solely on numerous volunteers throughout the Province who spend countless hours of their own time spreading this valuable message.

Our BearSmart Association continues to receive frequent questions and comments from the general public indicating to us just how impactful the program was within our community.

People are encouraged to write letters in support of bringing back the Karelian Bear Dog Program back.

If the general public would like to voice their support for the re-instatement of the Karelian Bear Dog Program in the Province of Alberta, they can send a letter of support to: Mr. Roger Reid MLA 6 Floor Federal Building 9820 107 St. NW Edmonton, AB T5K 1E7

Who is watching the News?

One thing I do is watch the news from around the world. It is a luxury I couldn’t afford in my younger days, not that I wanted to. For a long time, I had the attitude of many and considered the news depressing. I felt that the world will do what it does if I watch it or not. It did, and I lived in my own little world attempting to worry only about my own problems. There were family issues, community, health, and payments. The prevailing attitude was why should I worry about the things I cannot change? And a whole lot of us didn’t.

I was a teenager in the sixties when my group of people were changing the entire world and rebellion was the norm. We caused changes like never before if you exclude the major revolutions. Black people got the vote, women became equal and consumer protections arrived to mention a few. In my life, there was even a bigger change than most since my parents started a new life in faraway Canada much different from where I grew up. Just keeping up with the changes was a task and a half. Getting started, learning the language and finding my way proved to be a full-time job.

This lasted for a long time and the world was there but I didn’t feel that I could change it. The sixties became history and my generation quieted down and settled in. Many millions of us, the Baby Boomers left our early idealism and joined the mainstream. We honestly believed that the changes which we caused would fix the world and bring a period of peace and prosperity for all. We have been wrong.

Prosperity came to a few at the expense of the many. There were some improvements, but some were short-lived and quickly disappeared.

I watch the news and see a new fight brewing not only in my community or country but all over the world. While we were dormant, a minority seeks to dominate the majority and have been working hard under many banners. There is no such thing as freedom, democracy, equality, fairness, institutionalized and enshrined forever. It is in human nature to try to win to the point where those who lose suffer, and the winners enjoy the pain of those rendered helpless. It is a sad reality. Each generation must fight for its own rights and freedoms. There is a flaw in the human’s nature which makes it impossible for all of us to enjoy a good life equally.

I am a historian trained to notice trends and cycles of human civilization. I see a rise of one kind of mammal species called humans spreading upon a world.

Those who excel in using technology are dominating all others and the gap grows.

Some humans develop cultures and take over others making great achievements.

The Egyptians under kings named Pharaohs enslaved neighboring nations, such as the Hebrews, harnessing their labor to build cities and pyramids. The first evidence of “freedom fighters” or “terrorists” entered history.

The Hebrew slaves felt abused and with the help of a God whose name is “I am” terrorized the Egyptians and broke for freedom. This is the story that never ends and fills the news even today. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. One after the other great civilizations conquered weaker nations always subjugating large populations and taking advantage until others arrive.

Today on the news I see a million people in Hong Kong demonstrating against the newest bully on the block, China. In the Middle East, the United States seems to make an effort to start a war against Iran and Great Britain is up in arms for or against leaving the European Union. The new rich Chinese surpassed the new rich Russians in buying our best real estate. In America, a president is barely hanging to his own position and Canada is trying to keep its own economy while outside forces are nibbling around the edges. In all of those prosperous countries, there are few people who are doing very well while the great majority are losing grounds and are in a fighting mode. Pharaoh and the Hebrews come back to mind.

The world of humans has not changed. We have a longer life span, most of our physical work can be eliminated by the use of technology, but we face shortages of critical commodities such as fresh water, air and even the prospect that we will lose the land we live on because of atmospheric changes. The billions of people who are not on top of the pile are worried about losing not only their freedom but the ability to sustain their own lives. Not watching the news doesn’t help.

Again I review my priorities, this time not from a youngster point of view, but harnessing a long life’s experience. I fought my wars, raised a family, and built up a bit of security for old age. Should I be concerned about the news or even care about a future which I may never see. Should I risk turmoil when I am expected to rest and wait for society to take care of me as my body becomes dilapidated and my mind is expected to deteriorate as many often do? Isn’t it the way of the world for the old to give way to the young and assume a supportive role?

Those are hard questions and there is no room for error. If I give up the time for pleasure which I worked so hard to secure in favor of fighting, the rest period, retirement will not come back. I grind my teeth and watch the news, not only the canned version on my television but the less-known news available on the internet.

I let my fingers dance on the computer keys and produce articles and letters intended to change things, and I don’t look back.

Hillcrest Mine Disaster 105 Anniversary Service

Herald Contributor

The worst mining disaster in Canadian history occurred at the Hillcrest coal mine in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta on Friday, June 19, 1914. A town of 1,000 lost 189 men and 90 women became widows, and hundreds of children were left fatherless.

To commemorate the 105th anniversary of the Hillcrest Mine Disaster, a Memorial Service will be conducted on Sunday, June 23rd starting at 1:00 PM at the Hillcrest Mine Disaster Memorial Monument at the entrance to the historic Hillcrest Cemetery in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass.

The service will be conducted by Deacon Renso Castellarin with remarks by: John Barlow, MP for Foothills; Roger Reid, MLA, LivingstoneMacleod; Blair Painter, Mayor, Municipality of Crowsnest Pass; and representatives from the Coal Association of Canada, Teck, Riversdale Resources, United Miner Workers of America and Crowsnest Pass Heritage organizations.

The service will conclude with laying of memorial wreathes. Jean Shafer, a descendant of the Petrie family which suffered the loss of three family members in the disaster, will lay the first wreath on behalf of the families, followed by dignitaries and others.

The committee extends an invitation to all interested persons to attend.

Immediately following the ceremony, a guided tour of the Hillcrest cemetery will be available which will be conducted by staff of the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre.

Also, a reception will be held at the Hillcrest Miner’s Club following the memorial service.

A guided tour to the Hillcrest Mine site will be offered by the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre at 11 AM. As space is limited registration in advance by phoning the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre at 403562-7388 is required to participate.

Background On June 19, 1914 a

massive explosion ripped through the tunnels of the Hillcrest coal mine. Of the 235 men working underground that day, 189 would die, making it the worst mining disaster in Canadian history. The Hillcrest catastrophe occurred just before the maelstrom of World War I, and perhaps as a consequence, was forgotten by the Canadian public.

Hillcrest Cemetery Most of the victims of the disaster were buried in mass graves at the Hillcrest Cemetery, which are immaculately kept up today for visitors to view and remember the sacrifice of the workers and their devastated families and community.

Previous Restoration and Commemorative Projects To date the committee has already raised approx. $890,000.00 for restoration projects and community events to commemorate the Hillcrest Mine Disaster, these include: In 2000 the large granite monument was placed at the entrance to the cemetery honouring the men killed in the Hillcrest Mine Disaster as well as smaller monuments listing all other Canadian coal mining accidents. Several documentaries on the Hillcrest Disaster were released in coordination with this event. This is the only national monument in Canada that commemorates Underground Coal Mining across Canada.

In 2004 the 90th anniversary of the disaster was observed with the placement of a new fence around the mass graves and special grave markers created for each of the men killed in the disaster.

Maritime singer Rita McNeil and the Men of Deeps performed at the Gravesite as well as in concert.

In 2007 an interpretive pathway was constructed and interpretive panels were placed telling the story of that fateful day. Special guest was James Keelghan.

In 2009 the 95th anniversary of the disaster was observed with the completion of the inter-

pretive pathway and visiting area.

In 2014 extensive enhancement projects took place at the Hillcrest Cemetery in commemoration of the 1914 explosion and the men, women and children that were affected by it. A three day commemoration took place in the community of Hillcrest Mines in 2014.

The Hillcrest Mine Disaster Memorial Park, completes the projects, developed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Hillcrest Mine Disaster. The official opening of the park saw the unveiling of an interpretive pathway with 14 panels telling the stories of the victims and survivors of the disaster, and highlights of the 2014 commemoration event of the tragedy. The park also includes picnic tables and park benches. The pathway is lit at night by replica mine lanterns.

Other components of the park include landscaping, fencing, lighting, pathway and other enhancements made to the Hillcrest Mine Disaster Memorial Monument for the 100th anniversary in 2014.

The Committee has not only significantly improved the esthetics of the Hillcrest Cemetery but has substantively raised awareness of this national event.

The Hillcrest Cemetery is now a major tourist attraction in Crowsnest Pass and Alberta.

The 100th Anniversary project and commemoration event received support from: government, corporate and private donors; many community organizations; and hundreds of volunteers. The committee gratefully acknowledges those contributions and the major financial support of: the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass, the Government of Canada’s Building Communities through Arts and Heritage Legacy Program, the Communities Initiative Program of the Government of Alberta, TECK, and the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and South Western Alberta without which the project would not have been possible.

Gearing up for Bellecrest Days DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The 41st edition of Bellecrest Days is set for this weekend.

The annual festivities are once kicking off the summer season for the Crowsnest Pass.

One new event this year will be the soapbox races taking place on Friday night from 5-8pm.

Grade six students at ISS have been working hard to complete the soapboxes and are looking forward to the first race.

Saturday morning there will be a pancake breakfast available at the Fish and Game Hall in Hillcrest from 8-10am to kick off Saturday’s full slate of activities.

Many businesses in Bellevue are taking part in the weekend.

"Bellevue Inn will have their live entertainment. The underground mine will have tours every 30 minutes as well.

Crockets will have a side-

walk sale and the seniors are having a garage sale, bake sale and silent auction," said Sanya Veldman, the Event Coordinator for Bellecrest Days.

Other events throughout the weekend include the Parade that begins at 11am on Saturday, the carnival and vendors market from 12-4 and many other events.

Veldman says there is a cool opportunity for kids to get into the parade this year as well.

"This year we are going to have bike decorating. Kids can decorate their bikes and we are going to have a first place and second place. The bikes will be part of the parade."

The end of the weekend occurs in Hillcrest with the 105th Anniversary Memorial Service for the Hillcrest Mine Disaster on Sunday at 1pm.

Veldman says this weekend of activities is made successful by all

BELLECREST DAYS LIST OF EVENTS

6 – Crowsnest PAss HerALD – wednesday, June 19, 2019

Editorial and Opinions VoLunteerS and paradeS When volunteers come together, it’s a magnificent sight.

This community is blessed with amazing people who always seem to come together when the need arises.

This weekend is Bellecrest Days. There is a parade, music, mine tours, sidewalk sales, food, pool tournament, bike decorating, soapbox races and streets full of people.

I encourage you to attend as many events as possible and support the hard work of these volunteers.

On Sunday, June 23 a group of volunteers is commemorating the 105 anniversary of the Hillcrest Mine Disaster in which 189 miners lost their lives in Canada’s Worst Mine Disaster. I have a special feeling for the disaster site. During my summers when attending university I worked at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre so I explained first hand to thousands of people over the five summers I worked there, the story of that fateful morning. When you hike up the mountain to the Hillcrest Mine site it’s beautiful and still holds a sense of tragedy. That morning 90 women were widowed and over 250 children lost their fathers.

Next is Canada Day put on by the Coleman Community Society, the same group that spends countless volunteer hours on Christmas in the Park, Pumpkins in the Park and venues at the Doors Open celebration.

We then go to the Lions’ Clubs, each of them in the Pass, who fundraise, host bingo nights, build parks and infuse tons of fundraised and volunteered hours into the community.

Then we can move to sports, which is run through the backs of volunteer members.

I could go on and on and on with more groups. I know I’ve missed out many, but they are all equally appreciated.

This community may be poor, but what we lack in money, we more than make up with community spirit. Maybe it’s ingrained in our blood from the years of coal mining and natural disasters that forced us to watch and take care of each other’s backs. Maybe it’s because we are poor that we have to work together to make things happen.

But all I know is that we make it happen and I, for one, am proud to say that I live in Crowsnest Pass, the “Garden of Eden.” No matter where you go, it will always remain your home.

~ Community Update ~

Giving municipalities a powerful tool to compete for investment Giving municipalities a powerful tool to compete for investment Alberta has long been seen as one of the best places in North America to invest and do business.

Under the NDP, however, this changed – as taxes, administrative bottlenecks and red tape drove business away – hurting our province’s reputation with the international investment community in the process.

Often lost in the conversation is the effect this mismanagement at the provincial level had on our municipalities. In towns, cities and villages across Alberta, we’ve seen businesses close their doors and families packup and leave in search of greener pastures elsewhere. Our new government is reversing that trend and bringing prosperity back to Alberta.

Recently, we delivered on a key platform commitment to make Alberta municipalities more competitive, with the introduction of Bill 7, the Municipal Government

(Property Tax Incentives) Amendment Act. If passed, Bill 7 would offer municipalities the ability to provide property tax incentives for up to 15 years.

This would be one of the longest and most competitive tax-incentive timeline in North America.

Legislation like this already exists at varying lengths in other jurisdictions such as British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Louisiana and Texas.

These jurisdictions have successfully used this tool to spur investment and revitalize their local economies. If passed, Bill 7 would bring the same advantage here, but with longer timelines, meaning Alberta’s municipalities could soon have a competitive edge that is second to none when it comes to attracting business and investment.

Bill 7 has already been welcomed by several important business and industry groups, like BILD Alberta, who said “we like what we see,” and Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association, who

said “investment attraction policies at all levels of government will enhance competitiveness and will send a signal to foreign investors that Alberta is open for business.”

We know Alberta’s local leaders know what’s best for their communities. With this legislation, we’re not telling them what to do, but simply giving them a powerful tool to attract investment, create jobs and reignite their communities. What they choose to do with that tool is ultimately up to them.

I was proud to announce Bill 7 along with Strathcona County Mayor Rod Frank, who said, “such incentives are tools that can lay the foundation to create jobs and contribute to the long-term growth and prosperity of communities across Alberta.” If passed, I look forward to seeing Mayor Frank, and local leaders across the province, use Bill 7 to restore what was lost over the past four years and to realize the full economic potential of

the areas they represent.

There have been some naysayers who believe offering tax incentives to business and industry to invest in local communities is unwise. Others have failed to see the close connection between incentives for business and the spin-off jobs for families. Our new government understands this connection very well and is working to ensure we have strong communities for families and businesses across the province.

Municipalities deserve the freedom and opportunity to make the choices that fit them best.

I look forward to seeing Bill 7 bolster investment and economic development across our great province for a long time to come.

I am very proud to have already moved this initiative forward for our municipalities and urge you to provide me with your feedback if you have any questions or concerns at minister.municipalaffairs@gov.ab.ca.

School councils urged to attend conference FRANK MCTIGHE Herald Conributor

Livingstone Range School Division will provide more incentive for school council members to attend a provincial conference.

Trustees voted June 12 to pay the registration fee and two nights accommodation for each school council to attend the Alberta School Councils Association conference.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for parent council members,” trustee Lacey Poytress said.

At present Livingstone Range provides $500 for one parent from each school council to attend the conference.

Poytress said during the June 12 school board meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod it is hoped the change will encourage more participation.

If a school council does not take up the opportunity, its funding allocation can move to another school council.

“Hopefully we can get more school council members out,” Poytress said.

Conference registration is about $300 and rooms will cost an average of $150 per night.

“I think we might encourage more people to go,” trustee Clara Yagos said of the new approach. “I really think we need more representation at this conference because this is important.”

Trustee Lori Hodges agreed.

“It’s important to encourage our parents to get involved with our schools,” Hodges said.

Hodges said parents should have a united voice when speaking to the provincial government, through the association.

ToP 4 MarveL Movies

Zach hamilton Herald student writer

Warning! This article contains spoilers. Read with your own caution. #4 Black Panther

Black Panther, (King T’challa) has to protect his kingdom Wakanda from Erik Killmonger.

They have a fight for the throne, but T’challa gets thrown off a waterfall and loses.

His mom and his sister bring an herb to T’challa when he is buried in snow. He gets his powers back, and goes to fight Erik Killmonger. He is victorious and gets his kingdom back! In my opinion, this movie has the most action in the marvel uni-

verse! It also has the best fight scene in all of Marvel's movies! #3 Thor ragnarok In Thor Ragnarok, Thor loses his hammer fighting his sister Hella, and gets teleported to a planet where he is forced to fight for people's entertainment. He ends up fighting Hulk, but loses.

He gets Hulk, and they team up and find a ship and go to Asgard, and has a rematch with Hela.

Thor and Loki (Thor's brother) take all of As-

gard's people, because they summoned a demon named Sutru to kill Hela. The Asgardians flee to space and Thor becomes the new king.

This movie is so funny!

Every time I watch it, I laugh!

#1 avengers infinity

#2 venom In Venom someone named Eddie Brock loses his job, and then six months later breaks into a top secret science lab to help his homeless friend, but instead gets possessed by a dark creature

named Venom. Someone named Carlton Drake sends his men to capture Eddie and extract the virus from him but Venom helps him escape from Drake’s army.

Eddie and Venom go to fight Carlton Drake and his virus carnage to stop them from invading earth with more viruses.

They win but Venom is burnt in the fire of the ship, or was he? In this movie when Venom dies, I almost cried, but then five minutes later he is back in Eddie’s head!

Trick or TreaT (kids voices)

Brookyn EdEn Herald student writer

The starry night shot the road up with a dim light. Cat and Tyler were trick or treating in Bellevue .

Cat was a cat that was white and had brown stripes on her

back that looked like grizzly bear fur. She had blue eyes. Tyler had a blue shirt and green shorts with Short brown hair. As they were walking they saw a creepiest house that made their skin crawl. It had windows cracked like a robber had broken in.

The house’s colour was crimson red. The door was sunny yellow with scraped off paint like an owl had clawed at the door. Cat and Tyler decided to go get candy.

They went to knock on the door but when they knocked on the door, it swung open. It creaked.

They went inside and

they got trapped and suddenly the door slammed behind them… they were trapped.

It locked. They panicked. Tyler got out his sword. Out of nowhere a man peered into the room. He had a black cloak on that looked like a black panther skin was draped over him. He had a pale white face that you could see only in a dim light. He said “You go through 3 rounds of door choosing. Door number one has a Venomous spider. Door two has a lot of mosquitoes that carry a disease. The 3rd has boiling water that will melt your skin .

What will you choose?”

Tyler and Cat looked at each other.

“We will pick the mosquitoes.” “That is correct.” said the spooky voice. “Most mosquitoes will not bite you.”

“Great!” said Cat “Next door has a deadly gas to animals.” “Darn!” said Cat. “The next door has blood sucking bats that only suck blood if they hear loud noises. Number 3 has a lot of big rocks that cover the exit.

An open letter from Hancock Group to local commuities

Riversdale Resources is a proud sponsor of the Crowsnest Community Market – we also have an information booth set up there each week!

We look forward to seeing you all at the first market of the season on June 27.

As you may be aware, in August 2018 Hancock Prospecting joined the Riversdale shareholding register with a 19.99% interest, and in February 2019 announced an offer to acquire the remaining shares in the company.

Riversdale is developing the Grassy Mountain Project, a world-class mining operation in the Crownsnest Pass area, to export high quality steelmaking coal. The Grassy Mountain Project is a C$750 million Tier 1 Global Steelmaking Coal Project that will be a major stimulus to the Alberta and Canadian economy, providing substantial positive impacts to jobs and the region.

Following acceptances by Riversdale’s largest shareholder, Resource Capital Funds, and many of its other shareholders, on 8 May Hancock achieved a controlling interest of more than 50% of Riversdale (with 88% as at that time) and currently holds more than 99% of the company.

As an experienced developer of tier one minerals projects, Hancock will strongly support and pursue the development of the Grassy Mountain project in line with Riversdale’s existing plans. In fact, Grassy Mountain is now Hancock’s highest priority development project. The knowledge, skills and resources within Hancock will be applied to support the Grassy Mountain development to ensure its long-term success.

As stated in Hancock’s public announcement following gaining control of Riversdale: Hancock Chair, Mrs Gina Rinehart stated “For a long time, Hancock has wanted to find a good metallurgical coal opportunity to complement our iron ore projects – both commodities being critical for steelmaking. Grassy Mountain is a good strategic fit for Hancock that adds to our existing iron ore interests in Hope Downs, Roy Hill and Atlas Iron. We look forward to working with Riversdale’s staff and other stakeholders to deliver this exciting project.”

Hancock is committed to establishing and maintaining strong and productive relationships with key stakeholders associated with our projects. Hancock will continue to work closely with First Nations, local communities and other stakeholders.

The existing Riversdale management team led by Alisdair Gibbons, our employees and contractors are critical to our success and have the full support of Hancock. In line with our commitment to locally based leadership, Hancock intends that Riversdale’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will each be based in Alberta. Hancock has committed to Riversdale’s employees that the Canadian offices will be retained, and will take on additional responsibilities when the currentSydney (Australia) administrative office isphased out.

Hancock is a significant privately-owned company, with net assets of more than A$19B. At its roots, Hancock is an explorer and developer of minerals assets. Following development, Hancock’s focus is that of a strategic long term owner, being to ensure safe and sustainable operations and the pursuit of growth.

Hancock is the owner of three major operating iron ore operations in Australia’s Pilbara region: Hancock holds a 50% interest in the 46 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) Hope Downs Project (in a joint venture with Rio Tinto) and a 70% interest in the A$10B Roy Hill project. Hancock led the studies, permitting and development of Roy Hill, which involved building the mine, a dedicated 344km railway and port facilities. Roy Hill’s production and shipments of iron ore have successfully ramped up to 55mtpa, and an expansion to 60mtpa is currently being constructed. Separately, during 2018 Hancock completed the acquisition of Atlas Iron Limited, which currently produces approximately 8mtpa of iron ore.

Hancock also has various iron ore exploration projects and interests in Western Australia’s Pilbara region and in other parts of Australia, Europe and the Americas.

Sherry Chanin - retires from teaching at high school DaviD SelleS

Pass Herald Reporter

For Sherry Chanin, her path to teaching isn’t quite the usual route.

When Chanin was 16, her first love was art.

“When I was 16 I knew I was going to be an artist.

At that point in time it was a choice of three things. I was either going to go into music, art or creative writing. At 16 what I wanted to do was write and illustrate my own stories.”

That plan and dream took Chanin to the Alberta College of Art right out of high school but the change in pace wasn’t an easy transition.

“I started college right out of high school and was only 17. I wasn't ready for level of intensity. I won the art award when I was in junior high and then senior high and then no one can touch you. Suddenly you go into college and it's an equal playing field and you're the baby in the crowd and there are people who are a lot better than you.”

Chanin finished the course and received a diploma.

Overall, the experience was humbling for her and Chanin says she learned a lot.

“I learned not to measure myself against the yard stick of other people's

achievements and success which I think is the most important thing for personal happiness. I learned a lot. Drawing eight hours a day is very different then drawing an hour in an art class in high school.”

Once Chanin finished her diploma, she started working a variety of jobs.

“I got a job at the Bank of Montreal working in downtown Calgary and thought it would be interesting.”

It ended up being more interesting then Chanin hoped and her art ability shown through in an unexpected way.

“I was robbed at gunpoint, which was more excitement than I had wished to have. When the police interviewed me, they asked if I could provide a description and they had a note pad and I drew him for them instead. That led to him being identified stepping off of a plane in Winnipeg. Pictures really do speak louder than words.”

After leaving that job, one of Chanin’s next positions was a driving instructor.

“I enjoyed it tremendously. I loved talking to people and kids were great.

That probably spurred my interest in teaching teenagers. It probably was a precursor to actually going into teaching. It's

amazing how life can be very serendipitous.”

Chanin also had the opportunity to continue pursuing art as well.

“I had also gone to the advanced school of fine arts on scholarship for the summer for three years.

Then in my fourth year I received two awards and one was to study in Venice and one was to study in Mexico. I ended up being in Venice for May and June and Mexico for July and August one year.”

While in Mexico, Chanin also learned more about cultures and she says is another love of hers.

“In Mexico I learned many different things like the different cultures. One thing I studied was the different languages, which gave me an interest in language because it's also part of culture and I loved culture too.”

After more jobs including one with the department of national defense while finishing her second degree in art history, Chanin did an abrupt change and went back for her third degree in education.

Her time spent as a teacher has also continued to teach herself more as well.

“When I went into teaching, I realized the four things I need to be happy;

coffee, conversation, creativity and critical thinking. People need quality conversation with people. I also think everyone has a creative soul that needs to be fed and they find different ways to do it.”

Chanin also says there is a certain aspect of teaching art that she’s had to deal with.

“The biggest thing that I've had to deal with is the psychology of teaching art because there's a block that people have to overcome to achieve that. It's training and skills. I've had some great results from kids because I scaffold their learning. I look at what the end project is that we'll be working on and I make sure they have all the skills to be successful.”

Chanin also has some frustrations when it comes to teaching subjects like art.

“Anyone that tells me that they can't draw and wish they could, I consider that a personal failure of our education system.

There's no reason why any child should feel like they can't do that.”

Even from her time spent as a Driving Instructor, Chanin knew it was the teenagers she would enjoy teaching the most.

“They're still developing into who they are becoming. I find they're more open then most adults are.

Adults have the poise and public persona they put on.

I like who they are as people and I like working with them.”

At this point in her life, Chanin says she’s realized it’s time for a change.

“I love what I do and I could continue it but I realized I'm not going to have any new experiences in my life until I stop doing what I'm currently doing. In order to open the door for new stuff you have to sort of clear out the shelves so I need to stop doing what I do in order to make way for new experiences in the future.”

Chanin currently has a few different of ideas of how she’ll spend her life after retiring from teaching.

“I'm planning on getting back to travelling and writing for art magazines to get back to my writing and critical analysis. I still need to feed those four c's.

Connection with others is important and I maintain that through professional art organizations.

Chanin still has plans to continue learning as well.

“I want to pick up languages again. I want to develop that again which helps with the critical thinking. I also want time in nature and to build up my exhibition record and start focusing on the arts.

After 27 and a half years as a teacher including 20 years at CCHS, Sherry Chanin is retiring.

David Selles photo

Chanin says she’s also looked into applying to teach in a program that gives young artists a chance to sketch nature and work with a naturalist and artist for 8 weeks in both the spring and fall.

Chanin says her parting words to students in the arts would be to keep a sketchbook to help them grow their skills but has other words for all students as well.

"Trust your instincts.

Identify what you need to be happy and then do it and find a way to make it work for you. Something that John Ruskin had said is that 'The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it but what they become by it.'

That's what I would tell kids."

Looking Back

By John Kinnear

A Long Journey to Happiness: Part Two So recapping where we left off last week we find to that the five abandoned Mancini boys were made wards of the province and sent off to orphanages and in the summer were shipped out to work as farm hands. Marietta: “was old enough to be assigned as a domestic for a nearby family and was sent away to work for her room and board.” She prudently declined the offer by her father after he returned from Italy to rejoin the family with his new bride.

I found the May 22nd ad in the Blairmore Enterprise where Pietro advertised his house in 1919 before leaving for Italy. “Worth $1800. Will be sold for $1400 cash.” As we know from part one of the story Pietro and Josephine returned from Italy shortly after and left Blairmore that September basically abandoning the family.

The 1922 demand of the Town of Blairmore for $3932.85 by the Attorney General’s office for maintenance of the Mancini children must have come as somewhat of a surprise. A tidy sum that would have definitely stressed their budget at the time. Jillian Uloth goes on to say: “Legal action was then threatened. In today’s dollars, this amount would be approximately $57,000. Blairmore’s town council believed the claim to be unfair due to the fact that it had not been consulted when the province of Alberta took over the handling of the Mancini children and deemed them wards of the province. This transfer of control also meant that the Mancini family home and other assets were no longer held as a property bond by the town, value which could have provided for the children. By that November, Chief Justice Horace Harvey decided that the town of Blairmore would no longer be considered accountable for the sum. After the Supreme Court of Alberta’s ruling, a newspaper article was printed in the local paper, cheerfully proclaiming “Town Wins Big Case.”

Blairmore was essentially off the hook and while the town may have ‘won big,’ the Mancini children lost everything, including their parents, each other and everything safe and familiar during their short lives. Victims of their father’s lack of love and selfish motives, the Mancini children managed to forge ahead into adulthood, reconnecting as siblings and creating their own paths to leading successful lives.

In the later part of the 1920s, Marietta eventually made her way to the luxury mountain resort of Lake Louise, working as an ‘elevator girl’ and using the chosen name of Donna. The spirit and decadence of the era must have been exhilarating as she encountered wealthy international travelers and even rubbed elbows with United Artists film crews as they shot the 1928 movie “Eternal Love” (starring John Barrymore) on site.”

Amongst the memorabilia Jillian was able to access was a picture taken on set up in the mountains at Lake Louise with some of the prop, cast and camera men posing. Eternal Love was a silent era romantic drama film about two lovers living in the Swiss Alps who struggle to be together and escape their loveless marriages.

Jillian goes on to write: “During her time there, she met a young Brewster’s tour bus driver named Russell Lawrence who hailed from Granum, and they fell in love. Donna and Russell married and happily raised three daughters in Milk River, creating a loving environment with lots of laughter and song. While her childhood back in Blairmore was anything but stable, Donna managed to successfully provide her own version of a sturdy family identity for her children and she nurtured the type of family she had likely always longed for.” According to Uloth, Donna's ashes along with her husband Russell's were scattered near their favourite bridge in the place they met (Lake Louise, Alberta).

Jillian shared more of the family story with me than was in the heritage newsletter. She wrote in an email that: “After 'aging out' of care at 14, Vince was given train money and sent on his way, so he went east to Windsor and called his father in Detroit who refused to pick him up (probably because he (Peter) had crossed the border illegally years before and didn't want to take a chance). A taxi driver eventually took pity on Vince and took him across where he lived with his Father's second family for a while before being hired on with a Detroit newspaper. He married an American woman and enlisted in the US Navy during the Second World War and spent some time as a Japanese POW when his ship was sunk. He worked for the newspaper in Detroit for 50 years until he retired and died in Michigan.

Vic (Rocco) made his way to Michigan as well and connected with his father Peter's new family.

He enlisted with the US Army and married later in life to an American woman named Jean and they eventually moved to Florida, where he died. They had no children. Vic was a very good at drawing/sketching and was likely a hoarder, possibly thanks to his childhood situation. Tony eventually moved to Montreal and married a French woman named Georgette and raised a family there.

Jillian said he kept in touch with Donna.

Bob and Ralph were sent to a Jesuit Home for Boys when the kids were taken as wards of the Province supposedly. Ralph 'stayed in the area' which makes me think the home they were sent to was actually the Lacombe Home in St. Albert. Ralph went on to school and worked as a lab tech for the Royal Alexandra Hospital for many years. He happily had nothing to do with his father Peter ever again and started his own family. Bob made his way to California and then onto New York State and married a woman named Florence. He worked for a General Electric plant and then moved to Florida where he died.

“Walter, who was taken in by the nurse Mrs. Holloway when Filomena died, lived for many years in Calgary with his adopted family and enlisted at an early age with the Canadian Army. He served in Italy, France, Holland and Germany. He never married and had no children. He spent many years afterwards as a member of the grounds keeping staff at the Calgary Golf and Country Club.

He was funny, loved to laugh and gave to the needy freely. He died in Drumheller at the age of 94. He stayed in contact with all of his siblings, especially Ralph and Ralph's son Gerry.” Jillian believes he never did have any contact with his biological father Peter.

Jillian also shared some comments about Peter Mancini’s legacy of abuse with his second family in the States. “Josephine, the granddaughter of Pietro and his second wife who lives in Michigan, has lots of stories about how awful he was to her grandmother and mother in the States. He actually made them walk behind him while they were out in the community and he was very verbally abusive, likely physical as well. Josephine's mother Bella would cry and cry, remembering how he treated her as a child. Just like Donna, his first daughter from first marriage, she was so emotionally abused by him; she had a hard time talking about it.”

Great granddaughter Jillian was able to piece this story together using family oral histories and photos and sites like ancestry.ca, peelsprairieprovinces.ca, and scotlandspeople.gov.uk. It helped connect her in a very deep way to Marietta and her siblings and to come to understand all that they went through after losing their mother Filomena. Josephine Canestrelli the granddaughter of Peter’s second wife was an important contributor to Jillian’s research of the early years. She is in fact Dr. Canestrelli from Columbus, Michigan. I guess for Jillian and I, and perhaps for all of us, this story demonstrates that despite our sometimes rugged and painful upbringings we can all persevere and push on to lead good and productive lives. In spite of the Pietro’s of this world.

I think it is a wonderful thing that we have the resources nowadays to gather in all our family background, however far back we may want to go with it. It can be life changing and reaffirming to retrace our past. It helps define who we are and why we are here.

Tanya Plonka - local talent makes a big splash in Lethbridge Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce

Tanya Plonka is the owner of Tanya Plonka Photography where she photographs weddings, relationships and outrageous photo ideas!

Tanya believes that what sets her aside is her client experience.

While her clients rave about their photos, she believes it's the experience that she offers them that makes them happy to leave great reviews and refer their friends and family.

She is always available and does detailed planning with her clients to give them an amazing experience. She has clients who have been following

her since her first year in business.

Tanya believes that all people are beautiful and she wants to show that.

She has had many plus size individuals, senior couples and others comment on how happy they were to see people like them represented in her samples.

Very few photography businesses make it past their fifth year, and Tanya is proud to have celebrated her tenth. She built her company up from scratch to a full time business within a few years, and has been able to expand her business enough to hire her husband and allow him to leave his day job.

Tanya really started photography while attending the Crowsnest Consolidated high school for yearbook and while working as the entertainment editor at the UofL student paper, The Meliorist, in her second year of university.

She graduated in 2006 with a BFA (Multidisciplinary) with Great Distinction from the University of Lethbridge and was soon photographing weddings at a local studio.

In 2008, Tanya officially started her business and continued to grow her skills through hands on learning and experience, as well as keeping up with online and in-person photography workshops.

Each year that Tanya has been in business, she has placed in the top three for the Sun Times Best of the Best, winning first place in 2014 and 2017.

She has been accepted for two separate year plus long contracts for the City of Lethbridge to build their stock photo library, resulting in having the opportunity to see her work on the City's website, public transit ads, and more.

Her work has been published in multiple magazines and wedding blogs.

Tanya is happy to donate her photography skills to a number of animal rescues.

She is the Lethbridge photographer for AARCS

for their rescue photos, and has photographed the PAW Society calendar annually since 2013.

She regularly does mini-session fundraisers for a variety of other local rescues. Each year, Tanya photographs the Lethbridge MS Walk.

For her continued excellence in the field of photography, the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and BDO are proud to recognize Tanya Plonka as one of Lethbridge’s Top 40 Under Forty!

Plonka wasn’t always planning to be a photographer.

“I actually went to school to be a website designer and then about two years in I changed my

mind and switched over to photography.”

Plonka also says that after growing up in the Pass, her life has come full circle.

“I ended up being a wedding photographer and that wasn't something I had in mind when I first started out. We do so many weddings in the mountains now so it's nice to come back home and see the landscape and work it into wedding photos.”

Plonka says that the timing of this announcement was perfect.

“This was my 10th year in business and it was really good timing to receive something like that.”

Lions helping seniors Kurt Norman, President of the Blairmore Lions Club, presents a cheque for $5,000 to Mary Knutson and Walter Pasztetnik at the York Creek Seniors Lodge to help with the purchase of a new bus for the seniors.

~ Simply Selles ~

by David Selles This week I was going to discuss the positive unity that has been seen around Canada the past weeks as the Toronto Raptors continue their push for their first ever NBA Championship.

That was until I saw what happened at the FIFA Women’s World Cup last week.

In women’s soccer, not every country that makes the World Cup can put up a competitive fight to the higher ranked countries in the world.

That proved true when the United States, the number one ranked team in the world, took on Thailand who are playing in just their second World Cup as the 34th ranked team.

The States ended up scoring the most goals in a FIFA World Cup game, men’s or women’s, and also had the largest size of victory in a FIFA World Cup game for men or women, in a 13-0 thrashing.

Now, the size of victory isn’t the problem for me.

In tournaments like a World Cup, the standings of the group stage of a competition are affected by goal differential to determine who finishes where.

The problem that I had with the match was the fact that after the score got out of hand the US still celebrated their goals like they had won the tournament after the first game.

Some of the celebrations included spinning around with arms spread out and running and sliding on the ground.

These kinds of celebrations would be considered slightly outlandish to begin with, let alone when the score ended up being 13-0.

Another celebration that received some hatred on twitter was start striker Alex Morgan’s.

She ended up scoring five goals when it was all said and done and after her fourth decided to count them all on her fingers one by one.

After the match, twitter exploded with what was basically a 50/50 split of people saying the US was wrong to celebrate the way they did and people saying they

had every right to celebrate that way.

One tweet that garnered a lot of attention was posted by former US team member Abby Wambach, who also holds the most goals for a player is women’s soccer history with 184.

The main reason her tweet received so much attention is due to her bringing gender into the discussion.

This was her tweet.

“For all that have issue with many goals: for some players this is there first World Cup goal, and they should be excited. Imagine it being you out there. This is your dream of playing and then scoring in a World Cup. Celebrate. Would you tell a men’s team to not score or celebrate?”

That last line, “would you tell a men’s team not to score or celebrate?”

That line is what caused many people anger.

Some responses included people saying that yes, they would tell a men’s team to stop celebrating goal after goal in a blowout game and some responses sided with Wambach.

The only reason gender was even brought into this was due to The US women’s national team suing the US soccer federation for equal pay between the men’s and women’s teams.

I agree with that 100%.

It’s time for all athletes to be paid equally and given the same opportunities but just because you are currently advocating for that doesn’t mean everything then becomes about gender.

For me, this conversation starts and ends with showing some sportsmanship and decency when it comes to sports.

In Wambach’s tweet she talks about first time scorers finally getting to this point and finally scoring that goal.

For those players, yes absolutely celebrate. You’ve worked your whole life to get to this point of representing your country on the biggest stage.

In this case however, goals eight, nine, 10, 12 and 13 were all scored by veterans on the team including their captain who had arguably the worst celebration of all.

Those players that have been on this stage should simply know better than to degrade your opponents even more than you already have.

At some point, you’ve just got to walk back to your side of half and get ready to play again.

I guess that’s something American’s just don’t know how to do.

How we can fix the bear problems in the community DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Bears are once again entering the community this spring.

Fish and Wildlife Officer, John Clarke, says this spring has been quite different from previous years.

“We've had a really odd spring. Usually we don't have a lot of bear problems in the spring because things green up and then they go off into the mountains. For some reason we suddenly had a big influx of bears into the community. It's a concern because they're a little close to houses and things like that.”

On Thursday, June 13th, Christy Pool and Mandy Brown of BearSmart, John Clarke, Fire Chief Jesse Fox, Peace Officer Grant Love and Sergeant Greg Wiebe all sat down for a meeting to discuss ways to educate the public and ensure the community stays safe.

“The main thing that has come out is an alignment through a collaborative process through Fish and Wildlife, BearSmart, protective services and law enforcement. Rather than us all working and stumbling on our own to figure out how we can address this issue. It's to get on the same page. Sitting down face-toface on the betterment of this process,” said Fox. Clarke says the key is communication between everyone in the community.

“How can we make the community safer and at the same time deal with the animals? We want people working with their neighbours. We want interaction with everyone in their neighbourhoods to try keep it safe for the wildlife and the people.”

The main way these groups see that happening is through education.

“We are trying to do an education first component.

We are all here to protect the public and make Crowsnest Pass what it is so there is an education component that we have already been doing prior to this meeting. Continuing forward we'll do that as well,” said Peace Officer Love.

Education is where BearSmart comes into the picture.

“If residents are not sure or if they need assistance in figuring out what it is that's causing the bear to attend their property that they're always welcome to give us a call. We'll assist them with those means and assist them if they need a garbage can or something like that,” said Christy Pool of BearSmart.

“It's important that the community understands that the message being brought forward is about understanding and respect

of living in a `wildlife corridor where you're going to interact with wildlife not matter what kind of wildlife it is. Our mission going forward is to teach safe coexistence and respectful coexistence. Not to scare people or create a fear among the public of these animals because honestly, with respect they're pretty easy to manage. We want to go forward and say that wildlife live here. They're all through here. This is a major natural wildlife corridor,” said Pool.

Sergeant Wiebe says that education works in steps.

“Strategy would be education through media, community groups such as BearSmart, enforcement agencies and then education through notices of shortcomings. It's a tiered process.

Community minded, education through paper, through different agencies and then as a last resort enforcement.”

One thing BearSmart hopes to be able to implement soon is bear bins.

According to Pool, these bins would go a long way to solving the problems the Crowsnest Pass is facing.

“In the perfect world, everyone would be able to have a bear resistant garbage can. We really recommend those because they alleviate all the problems right from the go. That being said, we do understand that they're kind of expensive so we do have a program within BearSmart that can allow the use of loan containers to give a time period to save up and get their own or make arrangements that fit their lifestyle. Now keeping that garbage contained actually eliminates a lot of problems not just for that person but for the whole surrounding community.”

When it comes to community members who aren’t taking precautions, Peace Officer Love says there are bylaws in place to deal with it but that handing them a ticket doesn’t solve the problem.

“The writing of municipal bylaw ticket doesn't fix the problem. Fish and Wildlife, BearSmart and myself have been going around on complaints or altercations speaking with residents and residents have received warning letters with copies of the relevant bylaws. They also received reminders that went with the utility bills as well.”

The main attractant for bears and other wildlife is garbage that has been left in the open and Love says that even if there’s no food for the bears in the bags, they can still attract wildlife and need to be stored away to prevent encounters.

“We discussed that wildlife are seeing garbage bags regardless if you have food items in them or construction materials in them, the animals are just attracted to the bag now because maybe nine times out of ten they've ripped these bags open and it's had some goodies inside. No matter what you're putting out, it should still be contained until the garbage is collected.”

The group also encourages residents to communicate with eachother if they notice a problem in their neighbourhoods.

“If you have a problem with your neighbour, be community minded and approach your neighbour,” said Sergeant Wiebe.

Sergeant Wiebe also says that simply being good citizens can prevent encounters with wildlife.

“Things like picking up the fruit if you have a fruit

tree and the fruit is falling on the ground or harvesting the fruit. Watching bird feeders with regards to scatter come off the feeders.

Sweet things like pop cans under a deck that you might be storing that have open access to an animal.

Just things that can be mitigated as a homeowner and help minimize the issue just by being good citizens.”

If communicating with your neighbours doesn’t solve the issue, it’s important to go through the proper channels rather than simply posting a bear sighting on social media.

“Reporting bears on Facebook, which brings everybody out to see the bear is another problem.

They need to be reporting it to fish and wildlife so they can deal with it without a whole bunch of people potentially in danger,” said Many Brown, another BearSmart member.

“What we're finding is that people are just posting on Facebook and tagging either John or myself asking if we're coming. He may not always get those so it's best to report a bear to fish and wildlife directly and not expect a response because you've put my name or John's name on Facebook.”

Fire Chief Fox says that a complaint only becomes real when it’s properly formalized and goes through the correct channels.

Peace Officer Love says the best way to make a bylaw complaint is through the municipality’s website.

“People can go to the Crowsnest Pass website and make a bylaw complaint. It will take them a couple of minutes, there's an email address, which is required because I'd like to let people know it's being investigated. They don't get to know the ins and outs of

it but I do let them know it has been investigated.

There's no need to flood the municipal office with phone calls. The best way to report things is through the website.”

According to Fish and Wildlife Officer Clarke, some people avoid phoning him because they are worried about the outcome. ““Sometimes people don't phone us because they think we'll just show up and kill the bear. We want to move the bear off. We don't just show up and kill the bears. That's not us.”

The group will continue to look at further ways to educate the public but for the meantime, Sergeant Wiebe says communication is key through this process.

“Use the appropriate mechanisms in place for reporting it so that it can be dealt with otherwise it doesn't get dealt with.”

Livingstone Range School Divison board meeting news FRANK MCTIGHE Herald contributor

Livingstone Range grows alternate education programs A growing number of students are using alternate education programs offered

by Livingstone Range School Division.

Livingstone Range had 14 home education students and 27 in teacher directed programs in 2018-’19.

Those numbers will continue to grow predicted principal Jackie Kark, who oversees the home education, teacher directed and shared responsibility programs for Livingstone Range.

“It has been quite the journey this year,” said Kark, who took on the duties in addition to her role as principal of Granum school.

“It’s been a real learning experience for me.”

Kark was at the June 12 school board meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod to provide trustees with a report.

Kark will become principal of Willow Creek Composite high school in Claresholm next fall, but will retain her role as principal of the alternate education programs.

“I’m quite excited to continue in that role next year,” Kark said.

Home education, teacher directed and shared responsibility are defined by the person responsible for the program, Kark told trustees.

“It’s not about where the program takes place,” Kark said.

In home education the parent is responsible for development of the student’s program.

That includes selecting resources, developing assessments and evaluating progress.

Home education students are registered at their local school and may or may not follow the Alberta Program of Studies.

They can access the school division’s e-mail and on-line programs if they desire, and academic supports can be arranged.

People choose home education to provide flexibility in their lifestyle; to create family bonding time; allow parents to invest heavily in their child’s education; and to embed their faith into a child’s education.

Home education also allows parents to choose what their child is learning, and when.

“There is a variety of reasons,” Kark said.

Kark anticipates the number of home education students registering with

Livingstone Range to increase to 25 in 2019-’20 As the name indicates, a school division educator is responsible for a teacher directed program.

The teacher selects resources and aligns the program to the Alberta program of studies.

Students can work at home, at school or in a combination of both.

Access to technology is provided when requested by the student.

The child registers at the local school.

People who choose a teacher directed program are often former home education students who require academic support in higher grades and who desire to earn an Alberta diploma.

Teacher directed programs also suit students unable to attend the classroom for personal reasons, who have been unsuccessful in the classroom setting, desire flexibility, or are out of cycle with their school and need to access a course.

Shared responsibility programs are a combination of home education and teacher directed.

In Grades 1-9 the teacher directs a minimum of 50 per cent of the program. That teacher responsibility drops to a minimum of 20 per cent in Grade 1012.

Livingstone Range does not have any shared responsibility students at present.

Kark said the goal is to continue to grow all options in alternate education to serve the needs of more students.

“This is really great,” trustee Lori Hodges said.

“We’ve been talking about this in Livingstone Range for a long time. It’s great to see it come full circle.”

Livingstone Range board approves new budget Livingstone Range School Board last week approved a $52.8-million budget for 2019-’20.

The budget presented by associate superintendent of business affairs Jeff Perry requires $716,000 from reserves in order to balance the budget.

About 10 teaching jobs will be cut through attrition, and two senior positions will be removed from central office.

“It’s a tight budget,” Perry said.

Perry presented the draft budget June 12 at the school board’s meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Last year trustees approved a budget with $54.1million in spending and included a $391,921 deficit.

“This is an interesting budget,” Perry said. “This is the first time ever as a school business official where the government did not give us what our funding is going to be for the coming year.”

The New Democrats did not table a budget prior to the provincial election, and the new United Conservative Party government won’t table one until fall.

“This is a late budget,” Perry said, explaining the document usually has to be submitted to the government by the end of May. “The government did provide us the opportunity to submit it by the end of June.”

Perry said a presentation similar to the one he was giving to trustees was made to school administrators.

“We try to be as transparent as possible with the funds we have coming in and the assumptions that we made, decisions that are required in order to come within a balanced budget,” Perry said. “Sometimes we have to dip into reserves in order to balance the budget.”

Perry said the financial side is not the first thing looked at when preparing the budget.

“A budget is a financial tool but it’s only effective if it accomplishes what it is meant to accomplish and that is to achieve the goals of the division,” Perry explained.

Administration looks at the provincial and school board priorities as it prepares the budget.

Those include being a leader in providing quality education to rural students in a dynamic environment, and to develop critical thinkers and students who become contributing citizens.

“Decisions should be student-centered,” Perry said.

The context in which the budget was prepared include declining enrollment, the lack of a provincial budget and increasing costs.

There is no indication of funding increases or decreases, Perry said.

Enrollment is expected to decline by 14 full-time equivalent students in 2019’20.

“The government recently came out and said they will fund enrollment growth,” Perry said.

Livingstone Range was told by Alberta Education to budget on the assumption there is no classroom improvement fund which last year provided $471,000.

The division was also told to assume there will be no funding for the nutrition program.

“This is a spring budget,” Perry said.

“There’s lots that we don’t know, there’s potential risks that we face moving forward. By fall we should know our funding.”

Livingstone Range on track financially Livingstone Range School Division finances are on target as the school year draws to a close.

Associate superintendent of business affairs Jeff Perry provided a fiscal monitoring report to school board trustees June 12.

Perry said during the meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building the school year is 80 per cent complete, and the calendar year is 67 per cent complete.

The school division has taken in revenues totalling $35,370,128, or 66 per cent of its budgeted $53.8-million.

“The revenues are right around where we anticipate them,” Perry said.

Livingstone Range has spent $35,370,128, or 66 per cent of its budget of $53.8million.

Perry said expenses are within range of what was budgeted.

The school division has spent $25.7-million on in-

struction, which includes salaries, benefits and allowances, services, supplies, materials, travel and amortization.

Livingstone Range has spent $1.49-million on board and system administration; $5.59-million on plant operations and maintenance; and $2.52-million on transportation.

Crowsnest Pass tries new approach to school council meetings Crowsnest Pass school councils have a new meeting plan that could be a model for other towns in Livingstone Range School Division.

Trustee Greg Long reported June 12 on an innovative approach to increase attendance and participation in school councils.

Long gave his report during the regular school board meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Crowsnest Consolidated high school, Isabelle Sellon school and Horace Allen school combined for a tri-school council meeting.

“We had a really good turnout of staff and parents,” Long said. “At that

meeting we decided that next year all of our meetings would be tri-school.”

Tri-school council meeting are not new to Livingstone Range, but the format is slightly different.

Long said there will be a general meeting at the start with the schools taking turns as host.

Following the general meeting, each school council will hold its own meeting.

A two-hour time limit will be in place for the entire evening.

“I thought it was a really good idea,” Long said.

“We’re going to try it and see how it goes.”

Long noted there were at least four sets of parents at the meeting with children in each school.

“That’s an amazing, innovative idea,” school board chairman Brad Toone said.

Toone said the idea could be shared with school councils across the division.

Superintendent Darryl Seguin agreed.

“It’s great to see another innovative idea coming forward,” Seguin said.

“We’re anxious to see how it works.”

New Bus needed for seniors of our community Seniors need $130,000 to purchase a bus and are raising funds anyway they can

DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The seniors at York Creek Lodge are looking for help in getting a new bus to transport them around the area.

Currently, the seniors are using a bus that simply doesn’t give the seniors what they need.

“The bus we have isn't very safe. It's costing a lot to repair and if we get eight or nine people in, it gets crowded. We want two people with wheelchairs to be comfortable and it isn't so. We have four or five with walkers that they need and some of the walkers fold up nicely and others don't fold up and it's awkward,” said Walter Pasztetnik, a senior

who uses the bus regularly and is also on the committee that’s trying to raise the funds for a new bus.

Pasztetnik also says that once shopping is done, the bus gets crowded and groceries end up on laps and the floor with little room left to move.

The seniors have also had it breakdown while they’ve been using it, which has caused problems as well.

The importance of the bus couldn’t be stressed enough either.

Mary Knutson, another senior who is trying to help raise funds for the bus, says that it’s a lifeline for the seniors at the lodge.

“We can’t go any-

“We are paying out money to fix a bus that's not even fixed when we get it back so that money's gone that could've gone towards a new bus.”

Their search so far has found that the seniors will need at least $130,000 before they can purchase a new bus.

Pasztetnik says they are raising funds anyway they can.

“We are trying to raise funds anyway we can.

Picking up cans and recycling, everything counts.

Every little bit helps. Families donate as well. We've been trying to raise funds for close to a year now.

Hopefully it comes to a point where we can raise more.”

where without the bus. It’s a lifesaver. When I first came here I was so excited I was going to have independence. We depend on the bus all the way. I want to help our seniors get the bus.”

Pasztetnik says the seniors have been raising funds to purchase a new bus but all of those funds have ended up going towards fixing the current bus instead of purchasing a new one.

“We raise funds and at the end of the time we're lucky to break even after paying for gas and everything else.”

Knutson also feels frustrated with how things are currently going with their bus.

The purchase of a new bus for the seniors will open doors for the seniors and Knutson says It will be nice to have something they can rely on again.

“There are all these places we can't get to because we haven't got the bus to take us there. When we get a new bus we'll be able to count on it. That's the other thing too. With the bus we have now we can't.”

The other reason a new bus is so important for the seniors is that with the new lodge being in Coleman, the seniors may need to travel further distances to get to appointments.

Pasztetnik says a new bus would alleviate that

Obituary

problem and is just something the seniors now and of the future benefit from.

“It's not just for us; it'll be for the future seniors as well. If we don't have a new bus, we'll be stuck.

We really need it.”

NEVA DUFF

NEVA MARLENE DUFF, passed away peacefully at St. Michael's Health Centre - Palliative Care Unit surrounded by her loving family, on Saturday, June 8, 2019 at the age of 63 years.

Neva was born in Eureka, MT on Sept 5, 1955 to parents David Wallace Butts and Marie Johanna Butts (Sweere). She was the tenth child of combined families.

Neva attended Lincoln County High School in Eureka, graduating in May 1973. She was an avid lover of all things outdoors- fishing, hunting, camping and even a simple drive in the country was a balm to her spirit. Neva was a devout Christian and attended several churches in the CNP, settling for many years at the Coleman Christian Assembly. She worked on various charity projects over the years, most notably as a member with Lions Clubs International for 35 years.

She married Robert Wilson Duff on September 8, 1973 and was blessed with two children- Micheal Ian Duff on October 12, 1974 and Chalena Lynn Duff on September 7, 1976. She also has an adopted daughter, Sachiko Brockbank (Nakayama) Aug 13, 1989.

Neva was gifted in life with a large family. Her daughter Chalena married Jarvie Lyle Ashton on June 24, 1995 and had two children- Levi Douglas Lyle Ashton (Aug 6, 1994) and Colten Brier Ashton (Aug 17, 1996). Her son Micheal married Kelly Lorraine Strey on Sept. 1, 2018 who brings six stepchildren to the family- Alora Megan Bennett, Jordan Michael Bennett, Cullen Brook Bennett, Justin Mitchell Bennett, Angelina Jade Bennett and Geran Austin Bennett. Neva's adopted daughter Sachiko married Steven Brockbank Sept 7, 2013 and had two children- Kai Lawson Brockbank and Mei Brockbank.

Sadly, Neva was predeceased by her daughter Chalena who passed away August 23, 2016 and her grandson Colten who passed away Nov. 28, 2016, both of who are sadly missed.

Neva is survived by four siblings, her son-in-law Jarvie Ashton, grandson Levi Ashton, her son Micheal and all of his family, adopted daughter Sachiko and her family, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Neva was a friend to anyone her life touched and loved everyone. She will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Neva's Life was held at COLEMAN CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY, 1802 - 77 Street, Coleman, AB, on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 2:00 P.M. A Private Family Service will be held at a later date.
