Horace Allen School held a Festival on the Field fundraiser on June 24th as a way to continue increasing funds to help build the new Outdoor Learning Environment at the school.

The festival included live music from the Mountain Misses, face painting and games for kids, hotdogs and hamburgers and a silent auction.

There were also two presentations throughout the evening.

Amanda Manchak and Evan Link of TD were there to present the school a check for $8,440 to go towards the project and President of the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwest

Alberta Randy Baker was also there to receive a gift from the school as the foundation had previously donated $7,500 to the school to get the project going.

Grade 2 teacher at Horace Allen, Lesley Margetak, says the fundraising has been going fairly well so far.

"We did a hikeathon, we did a Tupperware fundraiser so we've done a lot of stuff ourselves.

Those funds together with the grant are maybe enough to fund one small area. We're just looking now at how best to channel that."

Earlier this year, the school partnered with Olds College.

The college students who were part of a sustainable sites course, cre-

ated seven different plans for the Outdoor Learning Environment.

Margetak says that process was great for the school.

"We had a great program with the Olds College students. They came up with seven amazing plans for us but now it's just looking through them and figuring out what will work best for us and what we need to decide on."

As for future fundraising, Margetak says they have some plans currently but haven't thought too far ahead as to what they might do.

"We'll be at the market in the summer and Heritage Days, we are doing the silent auction there which is great. That is our next one coming up. I'm not sure about anything

for the fall yet."

Overall, Margetak says that the school as a whole is excited to move forward with certain plans.

"We're really excited that we have this area. We do feel very fortunate and we want to be able to take advantage of the scenery we have and to encourage nature study with our kids."

Margetak says they still aren't really certain when the Outdoor Learning Environment will be completed.

"There's about seven different areas that we hope to integrate together.

If we could get one area done a year that would be great. It also might never be completely done. It might always be evolving a little bit."

~ Volunteers needed for market ~ DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Crowsnest Community Market is gearing up for another season.

Volunteers are an extremely important part of making the market successful and board member for the Crowsnest Community Market, Claire Rogers, says they are currently looking for more.

“The Crowsnest Community Market is growing and we need the communities help. We have lots of creative ideas for activities and themed market weeks but we don’t have the people power to carry all of them out at this point.

It’s such a fantastic summer activity and event for businesses and locals alike and we’re really hoping we can drum up some support.”

Rogers also says volunteering is the heart and soul of the Community Market and that they are always looking for amazing individuals who are looking to get involved.

There are also many different ways for volunteers to help out.

“We are looking for help with setting up and tearing down the market each Thursday, covering for our market manager during break times, assisting vendors and helping run the various activities planned for the markets each week.”

There is also no pressure to attend every market throughout the summer.

“Whether you are able to give an hour a month or are free to help us for an entire market evening, the market organizers will work around your schedule to find roles that are meaningful and fulfilling to you.

We would appreciate any help, whether someone can volunteer for an hour on a Thursday or for the whole market.”

Rogers says that people interested in volunteering will be able to lay out how and when they can help.

“We’ll ask about your interests/strengths and you can break down your availability by specific market dates and times. We appreciate any and all help to keep this gem of a market growing and thriving.”

Interested persons can visit the market website at www.crowsnestmarket.com/volunteer and fill out the volunteer form.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Pipeline politics and elections.

I am a Canadian by choice. Over fifty years ago I stood in front of a judge and swore allegiance to a country that I chose of my free will and I never regretted it. I spent my whole time as a Canadian in Alberta.

If other Canadians fear our heavy crude oil flowing over their land I am not separating from Canada. There is danger in the solvents we use with the oil and people are simply scared. Perhaps the “war room” should check and educate people, if they have a solution.

Alberta was much smaller when I came (1967) and with the oil boom (liquid oil at the time) and new opportunities, the population increased while the economy changed. The young people from little rural centers migrated into growing cities and many new people from other parts of Canada moved in. My city, Calgary quadrupled in size completely disregarding the obvious signs that oil could not sustain us forever. Some folks tried to build other more sustainable economic developments but were crushed by governments who only pushed oil.

I remember Sprung Green Houses which supplied us with fresh vegetables winter and summer. Oil contaminated the soil underneath the greenhouses and leached into the produce. Another example was the windy ridge in Cowley. A German company offered to build wind energy generation free if only they could tie into the grid and the Provincial Government wouldn’t allow them to do it for years.

Now the big deal is “pipelines” and we have two fights on the go. One is fighting legislation for environmental protection, which most Canadians are demanding. We, supposedly want lax or no regulations but the voters say otherwise. The other fight is about forcing provinces to allow transport of bitumen through their territory, again against strong opposition.

People in other provinces are well aware of the economic benefits of the oil. I went to the trouble of listening to some. Most of us in Alberta prefer to say that other Canadians only wish to put us down and deny us prosperity. The person I talked with had another argument.

The way others see it is that what we are exporting now is not oil which you pump and sell but liquified tar which must be mined and converted into a liquid.

mation regarding any crime is urged to contact the Crowsnest Pass RCMP Detachment at 403-562-2867, or Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-422TIPS. Reminder to residents of computer scams, credit cards scams, Grandparent scams, Revenue Canada scams asking for money or cash cards and saying warrants out for arrest, do not give out personal information to persons you don't know.

DO NOT OPEN EMAILS if you are suspicious of its origin. Do NOT purchase gift cards for payment to Revenue Canada.

Do not send monies to person claiming you have won a prize and need to send money for delivery.

Crime mapping is available online to residents who are interested can login online at Municipality of Crowsnest Pass website (RCMP crime map for Crowsnest Pass). Crime mapping shows property crimes that occurred within the past two weeks.

YOUR choice for auto body repair.

They don’t understand why we are making such a great effort to convert the solid fuel instead of exploring and building cleaner energy sources when it’s obvious that we must do so anyway, eventually.

Now with the federal government approving the project, the only recourse of those opposed is to protest. Opposing unjust laws in a democracy is not a crime but often a duty. (Martin Luther King) Some aboriginal nations and many young people consider disregarding nature unjust. It remains to be seen. They are not “a tiny minority of foreign founded job killing protesters,” they are our kids and grandkids. This is why Conservatives didn’t build the pipeline.

We have witnessed such a protest at Standing Rock in North Dakota two years ago. Aboriginal tribes from all over the Americas put their bodies on the line and stopped a pipeline development for a long time. Many others including a large group of veterans joined the protest supporting them. The main concern, pipelines leaking into the water. We are now at the stage in history when fresh water is a short commodity and the predicted water wars are around the corner.

While we are in the age of oil wars, water wars have begun and the new test humans face is not only for cheap energy but for life-sustaining water.

We are trying to get jobs by supporting pipelines and trying to sell our oil. If we win, it will give us a little more time but it is obvious that there is so much oil now that the prices are falling. A war may change it for a short while but many will die.

Today I see thirty million of my tax dollars invested in a “War Room” to fight against most of the world’s scientists. We will spend more fighting against two passed laws protecting the environment. Additional money will be spent to fight the Nursing Union in an effort to reduce their pay and break a signed contract.

More money is removed from the budget by tax reductions to corporations who would fail if they paid taxes at the rate the rest of us pay. At the same time, we are fighting their fight against people like us who are losing homes and property to fires and floods and voting to stop the danger. I am told that we Albertans are in favour of leaving Canada to help international investors, but I am not.

I like to live in a Province that helps all its citizens achieve good comfortable lives by producing what people want to buy not by selling what I want to sell. I want safety, comfort, and security for me and those around me, by doing an honest day’s work.

In my humble opinion, the prosperity for all Albertans that will follow a pipeline is nothing but a pipe dream. Any gains we will make will be spent on fixing damages from floods and forest fires. Instead of paying lawyers and War Rooms, I would spend on greenhouses that produce food, on wind and solar farms and high-level energy research. For that, we need well educated, healthy population which comes from investing in education, health care, and infrastructure.

Caltaf track classic and Passtrakers receive awards Passtrak

Canada Day Party at the

Pass Pool

July 1st • 1- 6 pm Pool admission is FREE! sponsored by the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation

Events: Biggest Splash competition, water balloon toss, and egg race Hot dogs, cake and a juice for $5

This track meet took place in Calgary on June 14 - 16. Events were offered to athletes in all age groups.

Passtrak had three athletes attend the meet and they competed in two events each.

Hayley Whidden represented the club in the U14 girls category. This was by far the largest age group in the track meet with over 60 girls in every event. Hayley competed in the 80 metre sprint for the first time ever and recorded a respectable time of 14.00 seconds. She now has a personal best which she will attempt to beat at her next competition.

She also had the long jump where she cleared 2.14 metres just shy of her current life time best performance.

This track meet was also used to select athletes to represent Alberta at the U16 & U18 Western Canadian Championships and Canadian National Championships.

Paige Richards ran the 100 metres and 100 metre hurdles in the U18 girls division. She finished the 100 metre sprint in 13.64 seconds slightly slower than

her life time best. She ran a personal best of 16.83 seconds in the 100 metre hurdles which placed her 6th and set a new Passtrak club record.

Mathias Gelber had two events in the U18 boys age group. He completed the 1500 metre race in 4:08.98 which was his fastest time so far this year in that event. That was good enough for second place and good enough to set a new Passtrak club record for his age group. He then ran the 800 metre race in 1:54.65 to finish first. This was a new life time best result for him as well as a new Passtrak club record. Both performances were good enough for him to be selected to Team Alberta for the Western Canadian Championships and Canadian Nationals. These meets will take place in July and August respectively.

PASSTRAKERS RECEIVE AWARDS The governing body for the sport of track and field in Alberta, (Athletics Alberta), held their annual awards banquet on Saturday June 15 in Calgary.

The top athletes in Al-

berta from all age groups right from the grassroots level up to and including the World Championship and Olympic athletes were recognized for their achievements during the 2018 season.

Two Passtrak athletes and one of their coaches were on the list of award winners.

Ella Peebles received an award for being one of Alberta’s top 10 female athletes in the U10 age group. She accomplished this with her performances at the 2018 Alberta Provincial Championships.

Cohen Musschoot received his award for being one of Alberta’s top 10 male athletes in the U12 age group. He also accomplished this via his results at the 2018 Alberta Provincial Championships.

Passtrak coach Ritch Braun was honoured with the “George Gemer Coaching Award” in recognition of his long term service & commitment to the sport of track & field in Alberta. He is currently in his 43rd year of coaching with no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Editorial and Opinions GarbaGe & bearS We have a huge problem in this community and it’s about bears.

I woke up the other morning to garbage strewn down the street I live on. Someone had put their garbage out early and guess what got into it ... you guessed it, a bear.

I found out later in the day that the same bear was in my yard that night. My house was fine, I have a bear bin and I keep my garbage inside until my garbage day.

Unfortunately, there are several people in this community that don’t. I’m not sure when some forgot that we live in a mountain community and with that comes wild animals.

A few years ago I saw one of my neighbours taking loads of bread out of their truck one day in the winter. I’m talking a truckload of expired bread. It took me a few days to figure out (after seeing a herd behind my fence) to realize they were feeding the deer. I understand that they are trying to help ... but all they really accomplished was to start bringing the predators into our area.

That same year a cougar took a deer down in my yard and that same spring a bear nonchalantly walked into my yard while my kids were on the trampoline.

A few weeks later the same bear broke into my neighbour’s garbage and tore down half my fence trying to get away.

Fish and Wildlife came to the house and tried to chase it away with the Karelian Bear Dog and the bear went after the dog. Unfortunately the bear had to be euthanized. I do believe it’s the little black bear John Clarke takes around to show the kids during bear aware talks.

My thoughts are this same bear could have attacked my children, a young child going into Donna’s Day Care or ISS down the road.

My point is that no wildlife should be fed by anyone. You are not doing them any favours. As a result of my neighbours feeding deer a bear came around and now it’s dead.

Keep your garbage secure. Get a bear bin and if you can’t afford one keep it in your house until it’s the morning of your garbage.

You can put your garbage out the morning of your pick-up at 6:00 am in secure lidded garbage. You can read the Bylaw No. 863, 2013 - Solid Waste Collection and Disposal on the Municipal website page.

The last few years we have done a great job in the community following the by-law and the bears were safe from our mistakes.

This year, for some reason, we as a community have become lax. The bears are coming into the community based on a harsh berry season last year before they denned and the fires around the province forcing the little ones into the community.

We are a kind, thoughtful community, now lets use our common sense and help keep these bears, and by default our citizens safe.

~ Letters to the Editor ~

Teck Resources and Selenium mitigation To the Editor, Regarding the June 17 article ‘U.S. ramps up concern over B.C. pollution; eight senators write to premier' I wanted to provide important facts that were unfortunately missing from the article regarding the significant work underway to solve these water quality challenges, and correct some misleading information included in your story.

The fact is, Teck has been working in cooperation with stakeholders in both Canada and the U.S for years to address these challenges. That work led to development of the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan

– the most comprehensive water management program of its kind ever developed. Teck is now investing hundreds of millions of dollars to implement this Plan, which includes an ambitious program of research, monitoring, and water treatment.

And that work is delivering results. Our first water treatment facility is now operating and generating real improvements in downstream water quality.

The second and third water treatment facilities are both in various stages of construction and development, and will deliver even greater water quality benefits once complete

and operational.

In addition, we are carrying out extensive aquatic monitoring, including a cross-border monitoring effort that includes participation by the B.C. Government and U.S. agencies including the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. And contrary to the statements in the article, as part of that work Teck has responded to all requests for information and provided monitoring data to appropriate government agencies, and will continue to do so as we work coop-

Remembering a tragedy 105 years ago Dear Editor; Sunday afternoon I had the privilege of standing alongside my brother Bill Kinnear, Bob Price, Ron Hruby and Pat Pow as part of a coal miner’s honour guard at the iconic Hillcrest Miner’s Memorial monument. We were part of a small gathering of dignitaries and onlookers that day who came to honour the memory of the 189 men lost 105 years ago. It seems every time that we have gathered to acknowledge this event through the last 25 years the skies darken ominously as they roll over the top of Turtle.

Most times we make it through unscathed. I recall speaking at the main monument dedication in 2000 when the same foreboding clouds gathered.

It felt then as if we were all being watched from above by those lost. I found myself dumbstruck and had great difficulty finishing my speech. The profoundness of the disaster’s impact on our community swept through me in a powerful way at that moment. Ian McKenzie’s speech on Sunday mentioned the fact that this was not “a” disaster but in fact 189 disasters.

Indeed every man lost mining coal has a story, a family, dear friends, community ties, ambitions, dreams and hopes. The ripple effect of each loss radiates outward in a profound way.

All across Canada one will find monuments to the big coal mining disasters. Westray, Nanaimo, Sparwood, Glace Bay and so on. But nowhere will you find a monument to all coal miners lost in Canada, from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia. One with every single name on it. It sounds daunting but is doable.

eratively to tackle this important issue.

We know that solving the water quality challenge in the Elk Valley will require hard work. It is a complex, long-term issue, but we are making progress. Teck is committed to continuing to put in the work and resources needed to meet this challenge, and continuing to work in cooperation with stakeholders on both sides of the border to ensure the watershed is protected.

For more information on how we are working to improve water quality, visit www.teck.com/elkvalley.

Marcia Smith Senior Vice President, Sustainability and external affairs Teck As I mentioned in my article last September 12th, (Daniel Revie Walker, Operation Manna and a Wall), Nanton Bomber Command Museum has commemorated every single Canadian airman lost in World War Two on a wall.

That’s 10,673 names on a 41 foot long wall of granite. It seems to me that Hillcrest is the place where a similar wall could be erected to acknowledge once and for all every “disaster” in Canada. Every single coal miner. It would make Hillcrest undoubtedly the definitive national memorial to the men who died mining the black gold.

This week’s column will be short and sweet.

I just want to talk about how great the Crowsnest Pass is.

This past weekend I was able to enjoy my first ever Bellecrest Days.

The weekend from start to finish was very enjoyable for me.

At no point over the course of Bellecrest Days did I feel like I was at work.

Taking photos of the kids racing their soapboxes down the hill in Bellevue with huge smiles and laughs throughout was great to see.

Seeing the turnout at the parade on Saturday morning and all the enjoyment from the community was fantastic.

When I was younger, my family lived in Coaldale.

We were all able to walk down the street and enjoy the Coaldale Candy Parade.

Seeing all the kids running up and down the street collecting candy brought me back to those times.

Then hearing the live music all throughout Bellevue after the parade and seeing families staying and enjoying games and vendors was awesome.

When I was in Lethbridge, I never went anywhere to enjoy a small community festival like Bellecrest Days.

The amount of community involvement was something I haven’t seen before.

At one point on Saturday, I took a video of all that was going on and sent it to my dad.

His first response was, ‘Maybe we should come out next year.’

So keep doing what your doing Crowsnest!

I’m already looking forward to other small community events like this in the future!

Cranbrook Bugle Band On the edge of extinction

Pass Herald Contributor

The Coleman Community Society’s Canada Day parade will be shorter this year with an altered route due to the road works going on in downtown Coleman. The theme for this year is “Canada – our natural beauty: and for this year only the parade will begin in West Coleman and wind east around the bluff to disburse close to downtown. Please use the west access to arrive, turning down into West Coleman from the highway by the old mine offices.

The marshalling will be at 69th Street and 17th Avenue between 10 and 11AM for judging. As always there are cash prizes in several categories. The entrants will then proceed east and around the bluff winding up 18th Avenue to turn right at 76th Avenue where the parade will disband. From there the floats may continue on the main street past the Coleman Legion as that road is now open to traffic while the centre access by the park is closed off.

This year is a very special one for us as it may be the last time we will see a performance by the Cranbrook Bugle Band. After 78 years in existence the band is on the verge of folding, says Ms. Pat, the band’s director for the past 30 years.

She has been attempting to step down for several years

but is really going to do that at the end of August, 2019.

Formed in 1941as an all-girls High School Band it has, over the years, transformed to become a junior/senior high school band and more recently a community band for grade 6 and up. Through this time more than 3000 females have been members, undoubtedly including several generations of the same families. The varied repertoire includes no written music; the tunes are learned totally by ear, with the older members training the younger one. Besides the drums, both large and small, the band plays valve less brass bugles. Since these went out of production in 1970 there is always a search for replacements of the antiques to keep the same sound going strong.

Although the length of time this group has graced Coleman’s Canada Day Parade is unknown, it is certainly most of its life. All one needs do is look through editions of the Coleman Journal and other community newspaper from the 1940s through today to see them gracing the front page of those publications.

Undoubtedly they received 1st place in the majority of those parades. In addition to their Coleman appearance the Bugle Band also puts on another Canada Day ap-

pearance back home in BC. Aside from a grant from the City of Cranbrook the money comes from monthly dues from its members and fundraising for their operation and travel cost. And travel they have!

The Cranbrook Bugle Band performs all year round in BC and Southern Alberta where they have earned many awards.

Aside from those from small communities their recent performances at Billy Barker Days in Quesnel, BC gave them 1st place in Bands in 2015 and 2018. For 70 of their 78 years this band has been at the Calgary Stampede where they placed 3rd in Junior Bands in 2013 and stepped up to 2nd in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Last year they gave a Special Performance at the Stampede and 2019 will mark their 66th consecutive appearance in Calgary for that occasion.

With the pending departure of Ms. Pat the Board of Directors will put the Bugle Band on hiatus as of September and if nobody steps in to fill her very impressive shoes the Cranbrook Bugle Band will be disbanded in June 2020.Let us hope that never comes to be and that more generations will be treated to the sounds of the Cranbrook Bugle Band for many parades of the future.

Bellevue Underground Mine An experience like no other!

Experience the dark like never before. The Bellevue Mine began its life as the Western Canadian Colleries in 1903. Pumping out more than 13 million tonnes of coal before shutting its doors as an active underground mine in 1961. Selling upwards of 90% of its high grade coal to Canadian Pacific Railway, to keep their engines running. Bellevue suffered its share of tragedy during its operative years. Seeing the loss of at least 83 men during that time. Thirty-one of whom, tragically, lost there lives to a gas induced explosion on December 9th, 1910. This was one of the worst mine disasters in Canadian history. Unfortunately, this was far from uncommon in Canada’s mines, as the lives of workers were undervalued until long after the emergence of Labour Unions.

More than just another mine tour or museum, Bellevue Underground Mine takes its visitors 1000 feet into what once was an active haulage route and more than 150 feet below the surface. Visitors explore the mine’s inner workings and hold actual tools once used by some of the hardest working people in Canada’s history and coal miners all while learning about the rich history of Canadian coal mining in one of Canada’s authentic underground coal mines. The Bellevue Mine sees between 10,000 and 20,000 visitors every year. Offering guided tours 7 days a week from May 1st to August 31st, and prebooked tours from September through April, as well,as hosting the annual “Miners’ Picnic” during Heritage Days (August long weekend)and offering “Haunted Tours” during the annual Halloween Howler. The mine accommodates people of all ages and backgrounds while working hard, not only to bring history to life but, also to help preserve it for future generations.

Bellevue Underground Mine is a little piece of Crowsnest Pass history well worth visiting.
