Downtown coleman getting closer to completion DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The Downtown Coleman Revitalization Project is nearing its completion.

After many months with limited access to the downtown area, large

portions of the downtown are now accessible.

Chief Administrative Officer, Patrick Thomas, says the first phases are nearing completion.

“Most of the work in phase one and two is complete. There's still a

little bit of sidewalk work in phase 2 left to complete. All the water and sewer lines for the project are done and most of the storm line is complete.

The 19th Ave. culvert is done and the 17th Ave culvert was set in place on Friday so there will just be some backfill to occur there when the snow is gone.”

Thomas also says the underground work is close to being finished.

“Most of the underground is complete now.

There is just a little bit left to touch up and then we'll be switching over to the surface crews to keep going until weather chases them out or they're finished.”

Thomas says that most of the landscape work has also been completed along with new garbage cans and benches.

The area still being affected most by the construction is the area of 17th Avenue from 78 Street to 80th street with some finishing touches

“The work still being done is from the Post Office east to the creek.

That's the section where the majority of the work is left. There are also some sidewalks to be finished tying in over by the museum. They are still finishing streetlight installation and landscaping in sections as well along with work getting the overhead power converted underground.”

As far as restricted areas go, there are still two areas with limited or no access for residents.

“The area that would be restricted is from the creek to Chris' Restaurant. There is also a piece of 19th Avenue on the north side of the museum where they are patching where the culvert replacement happened so there is some sidewalk, fencing and some paving to happen there. Residents can get to their homes but there is no through traffic yet.”

down but not in any substantial way.

“It's put us back a couple days but the snow is already melting off the roads here and we should have decent temperatures the rest of the week so it caused a couple days of lost time but not weeks.”

The completion date of all elements including streetlights and traffic signs is currently expected to be November 15th but Thomas says the major work will be done before then.

Thomas says there is one thing that may be left until spring depending on the weather.

“The only thing left that may not get done because of temperatures is the line painting. They need certain temperatures to apply the paint so it may or may not happen depending on the fall temperatures here.”

Thomas says the municipality wants to thank everyone for working with them to bring the project to completion.

landscape of Chesterton’s stream, let’s take kayaking as an example. If you wish to have a lovely day out on the water, you don’t generally want to begin in Burmis and then attempt to make your way upstream to Coleman. On the other hand, I am not sure you would want to abandon your paddle altogether and simply bob around aimlessly on your way downstream, either. So, how does the kayaker go “against” the river? Well, I would argue that the kayaker that orients their effort with the energies of the moving water is, in fact, going against the current in the most beautiful way possible. When effort aligns with its context in this way, we call it skill. The kayaker integrates with the stream so that when it pushes them left, they can go with it, or they use the energy to lilt to the right, when it drives them to the right, they can go with it, or they use it to go left.

When this happens, the river and the kayaker begin to do something rather magical and together begin to occupy a shared space, and thus, produce a new and elevated activity. It is the art of kayaking. Of course, this living sort of activity can be found in a great many places, whether it is in horseback riding, or trail running, or even fly fishing. It exists anywhere the barrier between self and environment is required to dissolve, and when this immersion happens, we can’t help but find ourselves utterly captivated. Believe it or not, while one can find certainly find many references to this state in many ancient spiritual traditions, this perfect balance between resistance and surrender now has a scientific name: it is called “flow”. What is more, is that there is a growing body of research suggesting that our ability to access the state of flow is a significant factor in what it means to live out our healthiest, happiest, and ultimately, most fulfilled life...but I hope to go more into this subject that next time. Till then, get out there, find your river, and then without hesitation, go on beautifully against it.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Make America (Canada) great AGAIN? My favourite outing in the summer is Waterton Park. I get to be surrounded by beauty and meet people from all over the world. Last Sunday I observed two young men eating ice-cream wearing red hats one saying Make America Great Again and the other Make Canada Great Again. Dare I ask which America or Canada they want back? I don’t know. Possibly they don’t know when it was great but they know that it was better before their time without knowing why. We are both enjoying a main street lined by little shops and places to eat.

Canada was celebrating its one hundred birthday when I arrived. I could see it through the airplane window when I felt the landing gear touch ground, lift, touch again, and I was here in North America. I never left it for a moment since.

It was great. Not so much for me at the time, but the people here had a good life.

I still had to climb to get it but I knew I could do it.

Now I sit across from my seventeen-year-old grandson and it upset him that he is too young to vote. The news is showing hundreds of thousands of young people striking and demanding political action aimed at climate change. He feels that the adults who can, are not addressing his concerns, yet he will have to deal with the consequences of their votes. I was his age when I arrived in the “Canada” that they wish to go back to. I remember how great it was.

Let’s go back a bit. I was a young guy, and I used to do all the shopping for the family. I took the cloth bags that mom made and walked to a nearby grocery store. The owner was a proud business owner. From there I went to another little business, a vegetable store and once a week to the butcher shop. Now and then I would go on my bike with friends to a movie in a local theatre. I had a friend who’s dad was the shoemaker in town and there were lots of other little businesses, too many to mention. One can still see the empty stores in our towns. Canada and America were great.

At seventeen I had many jobs to choose from. There were no teen gangs in the streets, all the kids had part-time jobs mostly in the service industries. Most mothers didn’t work and nobody complained about their place in society. All our friends had jobs, a lot in transportation and manufacturing, and we considered teachers or nurses a higher class because of their education. Doctors were even

Charged is Luke KESSLER 39 years of age, from Cowley AB. He is charged with Dangerous Driving Causing Death, Sec 320.13(3) and Fail to Stop after an accident resulting in a death, sec 320.16(3) both under the Criminal Code, also Driving left of center, sec 12(1), and Failing to hold a subsisting Drivers licence, Sec 51(a) both under the rules of the road regulations under the traffic safety act.

He has been remanded in custody for Court Tuesday at 10 am, in Pincher Creek Provincial Court, to speak to release on the charges.

higher yet, but they didn’t hesitate to make house calls.

It was not even that long ago when there were many people employed as a postman, milkman, postmaster, and even a waiter was well paid. We didn’t yet believe that we were saving money and becoming more efficient by firing people, closing family businesses and training the public to live without services. If the government shored up a corporation, it was expected that they will pay back their debt to society and not take the money elsewhere.

Sadly, at about the same time that I arrived in North America, the picture began to change. It took a long time and was done in small increments so we didn’t notice. Instead of reusable cloth bags that mother sowed, we have one use plastic bags that are choking the oceans. There are no stores in neighbourhoods and we must use vehicles to shop and shopping we do. We shop online, in other cities or even the orient. There are no jobs so we make statistics look as if there are, and we dare not criticize the government since we are spied on every move we make. Instead of questioning actions that harm us or reduce our potential of well being, giant media corporations shy away from reporting anything which will make us question our way of life.

I happen to think that we must build upon our strengths instead of trying to protect what we have accumulated. To me saving money is important but only if I save it from being wasted or taken away by someone who is not willing to give anything in return. If I pay for the work of my neighbour, I don’t feel bad. He or she will return it for what I do if they are honest. What I hate is when someone rips me off. That includes politicians.

I want to see our children well educated able to compete with children from other countries, regardless of parents' income, so I don’t support cuts to education.

I want our aging parents and those of us who are sick and injured well cared for so I don’t support cuts to health care. We only spend half of what our neighbours to the south do per person. I would like to support small family businesses instead of those owned by outsiders. That is why I write for a small locally owned newspaper, not for a large media chain.

When I hear that we must tighten our belts to attract investments I get confused. There are no investors who give us money because they care about us. They invest to make money promising jobs. We could have all the jobs we need, as we used to, if we invest in ourselves. If we run out of jobs, people would not come here as they do but it wouldn’t happen. All we have to do is make it popular to provide jobs instead of to eliminate them.

First I wish to be sure that there will be a Canada for my grandchildren. Secondly, I like to make Canada great again, by sharing and cooperating not by depending upon outsiders to save us. All we need is to know that it’s possible and do it.

In the words of a very famous US Congresswoman: We can be whatever we have the courage to see.

Water quality treatment an priority for mining company DaviD SelleS

Pass Herald Reporter

Teck is revolutionizing the way they treat water.

At their current operations in Line Creek, Teck is using a water quality treatment facility that takes the water affected by the mining in the area and removes selenium and nitrate before it enters the watershed.

The reason for needing treatment facilities is that waste rock is generated when mining the coal.

The waste rock is then stored in large dumps.

Water will then travel through these dumps and picks up substances like selenium and nitrate as it goes along.

The water then enters into the watershed after passing through the rock dumps, which can harm the water quality if there are high enough concentrations of selenium and nitrate left over.

The current treatment facility at Teck’s

Teck is continuing their research and innovation when it comes to water treatment. Currently, Teck is beginning to use Saturated Rock Fills to increase water quality. Teck is also using water treatment facilities to help eliminate selenium and nitrate from the water before it enters the watershed.

West Line Creek operations is able to treat six million litres of water per day.

The way the water is treated in the plant is quite complex.

There are multiple steps that are taken to ensure there is as much selenium and nitrate removed as possible.

Throughout the process, there is a biological treatment that is able to convert the dissolved forms of selenium into a solid state.

That selenium is then taken and disposed of safely in a secure onsite facility.

As for the left-over nitrate, it gets converted into nitrogen gas and is safely released after that process.

The water is then pumped back out of the facility.

Dean Runzer, General Manager, Water Quality Management, says the water is then monitored before being released back into the watershed.

“The water coming out of the plant comes up through a buffer pond, which has 24 hours of residence time so it gives you enough time to measure the water coming out of the plant to make sure it meets all the proper qualities before it’s released back into the creek.”

Teck is continuing to run pilot tests with this

technology to see if they can enhance it further and increase the amount of water being treated on a daily basis.

New research has provided Teck with a second and more effective way of removing selenium and nitrate from water.

Teck has developed a new form of water treatment using Saturated Rock Fills (SRF).

The first SRF has been commissioned at Teck’s Elkview operations and is achieving near complete removal of selenium and nitrate with 95 per cent removal of the substances.

The SRF’s work by refilling mined out areas with rock which are then flooded with water.

Once that process has been completed, naturally occurring biological processes are enhanced with the addition of more nutrients which increases the rate and amount of selenium and nitrate removal by bacteria found in the rock.

Once the nitrate and selenium are removed from the water, it is pumped back up from under the fill and is released into the watershed with near entire removal of the substances.

The SRF is able to pump through roughly 10 million litres of water on a daily basis and Teck is working to expand that capacity to 20 million

litres.

Runzer says Teck believes this is the future of water treatment.

“We recognize that active water treatment facilities are quite complex so in line with continuous improvement in our research and development program with looking at alternative treatment technologies, SRF's are showing a lot of promise.”

The amount of promise showing means that more of these SRF’s will be used at other operations but there are still limits to where it will work.

“It can only occur where we've dug a pit.

We can't just build them where we want them.

Right now, we have the one at Elkview which we can expand and then we're looking at future pits being minded out where we can develop them. There's another big one at Fording River that will have a lot of capacity.

There's probably four or five. One really at each operation that will be able to achieve the capacity we need for long term water treatment,” said Runzer.

If people would like to learn more about the water quality treatment being done by Teck, there will be an open house held at the Fernie Seniors Center on October 29th from 5:30-8:00pm.

Editorial and Opinions Letters to the Editor

Greta thunberG I sat back in awe and watched 16 year-old Greta Thunberg head an environmental rally in Montreal and I had to wrap my mind around the fact that I was actually mad.

I am all about the youth of the world making this planet a better place ... but am okay with a 16 year-old kid heading the march.

I am proud of the youth finding their voice, I am proud when my own kids find their voices and raise interesting question that make me think and in some cases change the way I perceive and do things. But I ask you, what is Greta trying to do in Canada?

When I asked Aiden what he thought about the rally in Canada this was his response, “ she’s here to tell Canada to get its act together regarding our environmental standards.” This blew me away. So if that’s what he got, then the bigger picture of a collective protesting to hold the worst world emitters accountable didn’t come through.

If Greta is entering the world stage at the UN to put the world on notice that places like China, Russia and India need to be held accountable by the world leaders, then I’m all for it. If she is there preaching to nations that are already doing their part then frankly I think it’s just showboating.

Unfortunately I think it’s the latter. Why would she come to Canada and protest, why not boat over from Sweden to Russia, China or India. They are who are responsible for the majority of the environmental chaos in the world, not Canada who owns the distinction of 1.6%.

My point is that you can have all the climate strikes in countries that are below 2% emitters but if the collective world doesn’t ‘strike’ against the huge emitters then it’s really for naught. Our energy as a collective would be better used to hold these countries decimating our world accountable. Hitler only stopped when the world collective stepped in.

I’m not anti-climate rally, I’m anti-not holding the hugest emitters of the world accountable while we hold rallies here to make us feel better. The world leaders have to stop up against the huge emitters or it’s really just a show.

Perhaps the frustration in Canada and the anger people are feeling for Greta (you either adore or hate her) is more a frustration in our own government who wants to land lock and ban ethically produced oil in our country and province. A province that produced the highest environmental and human rights standards while importing oil from countries that kills women, kills divergent views, and kill our environment. It’s like we condone what they do when be buy from them. People are just upset period and Greta provides a face to that frustration because they don’t want to hold Trudeau accountable down east. People are so upset they have forgotten the bigger picture that we can do our part to make things better.

The government should step in when it comes to Quebec dumping its sewage in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The government needs to step in and find an answer to our recycling crisis. We can do more, I get it, but rallying in a march in Canada, when we should be doing it in Russia, China and India, just seems a waste of time.

More Police Resources for Albertans Dear editor; The first duty of government is to protect the safety of law-abiding Albertans. After the NDP sat on their hands for four years as crime rates skyrocketed in many rural communities, Albertans gave the United Conservative Party a historic mandate to keep Albertans safe, secure and protected. Our government is committed to giving law enforcement the tools and resources necessary to ensure there is a sustainable reduction in crime and Albertans have confidence that their justice system will protect them, their loved ones and their property.

To ensure we have a law enforcement system that enhances public safety and emphasizes frontline policing, our government is fulfilling our campaign promise to review how police are funded in Alberta. The current model has resulted in a shortage of policing services. We’ve been listening to Albertans, municipalities and others and are asking for feedback on a number of

models on how police should be funded. To be clear, our goal is more police services. Any new funding model that would collect funds from municipalities would be reinvested in frontline policing, leading to an overall increase in funding for police services in Alberta. Any assertion to the contrary is absolutely, one-hundred per cent false. Unlike the NDP’s carbon tax, this is not a cash grab. We are investing more in policing, not less.

It is the height of hypocrisy for the NDP to profess concern for the safety of Albertans. Their failure to adequately fund law enforcement and criminal justice resulted in a revolving-door justice system where Albertans lost faith in the ability of government to protect them.

Rural Albertans deserve better. That’s why they elected a government that will ensure the justice system reflects the realities of rural Alberta.

While the NDP ignored the needs of rural Albertans, we are listening.

3” wide version

While they talk, we are taking action. Our Minister of Justice and Solicitor General is conducting the most comprehensive consultation on rural crime and rural policing in Alberta’s history, traveling the province to hear from as many Albertans as possible to help ensure we have safer and more secure communities.

Ensuring Albertans feel – and are – safe and

protected goes to the heart of who we are as a government. We want to make sure we fund law enforcement in a way that will enhance public safety for all Albertans and ensure we have more police in our communities.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. roger reid, MLa Livingstone Macleod

by David Selles This weekend is probably the craziest weekend weather wise I’ve ever seen.

Not only did it snow enough my nephews and nieces could disappear in snow drifts simply by stepping outside but entire cities and towns were basically shut down due to the snow.

I was trapped in Lethbridge over the weekend and wasn’t able to make it back to the Pass until Tuesday morning simply because the highway was impassible and closed in certain sections.

The university and college were both closed in the city, transit didn’t run Monday morning, doctors’ offices were closed and even some other businesses stayed closed today.

If anyone was crazy enough to drive in Lethbridge, it would’ve looked like a ghost town.

Believe it or not, my parents have seen and experienced worse.

My family used to live in a northern BC town called Smithers.

I was too young to remember what a winter looked like there, but I’ve heard some incredible stories.

One story still seems a little more unbelievable than others though.

That story is about a winter storm on the weekend of Remembrance Day one year.

That weekend, my parents had to deal with seven feet of snow.

Not only did they have to shovel the driveway multiple times, but they also had to climb up on the roof and shovel the snow off to prevent it from caving in.

A local business wasn’t as lucky and had their roof cave in due to the weight of the snow.

Now, luckily, we didn’t have it quite that bad in this area, but man oh man, did we still have an insane amount of snow.

There were countless numbers of pictures with people’s cars simply missing under snow drifts, snowplows getting towed out of sticky situations and roads that became hockey rinks due to ice and snow.

But even with all the snow, I feel people managed to stay relatively warm and safe.

There were a couple accidents out on the roads over the weekend but considering the amount and how quickly it fell and what the road conditions looked like, I feel southern Alberta drivers did alright getting form point a to b when they absolutely had to.

With the weather now looking to warm up, we can try and get back to a little bit of fall again because we really didn’t get much before winter Armageddon hit.

This storm served as a reminder that we should get out and enjoy the autumn colours (if there are any left) after what we just had before the snow settles in for good.

Hopefully we still have a month or so before that happens.

Keeping you informed Submitted

The Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta is pleased to share its seventh Vital Signs publication with the community.

Vital Signs is the Community Foundation’s annual check-up of the vitality of Southwestern Alberta.

Using local data and indicators, the report assesses conditions pertaining to quality of life in six Impact Areas: Community Connections, Cultural Life, Environment, Healthy Communities, Lifelong Learning, and Living Standards.

Vital Signs helps to showcase the strengths and weaknesses within our communities, highlighting work being done to make life better and inclusive for everyone in Southwestern Alberta. By investigating pressing local issues and current events, Vital Signs enables the Community Foundation to shed light on areas where this work is succeeding, and to identify areas of need. This year’s report looks at many facets of society, including transportation, alternative energy, the opioid crisis, and urban and rural homelessness.

“It’s critical for the success of our work that we have a solid knowledge and understanding of our community,” said Executive Director Charleen Davidson. “Researching and writing Vital Signs is one way that we deepen our knowledge and understanding

FEDERAL ELECTION

of life in Southwestern Alberta, and this makes us more effective with our funding decisions.”

The data presented in Vital Signs has a number of applications. “Vital Signs helps us to inform our donors of areas in the community that would benefit from their support,” said Davidson.

“This report helps to focus their giving to target specific causes that matter to them.” In addition to assisting donors in their decision-making, Vital Signs also strengthens the Community Foundation’s granting programs. Applicants to the Community Priorities and Rural Life Grants Programs must indicate which Impact Area their project fits within, which helps the Community Foundation to make informed granting decisions. “By linking Vital Signs to our two largest grants programs, we are able to address areas of need that we identify in the report, and in so doing, help to build a healthy and inclusive community,” said Davidson.

To help demonstrate how the Community Foundation uses Vital Signs to inform granting, this year’s report launch will include remarks from delegates from the Chinook Foundation for Career Transitions and Rowan House Society.

These organizations are past recipients of Community Foundation grants for projects im-

proving areas of need.

Previous Vital Signs reports identified high school completion rates and women’s shelter usage in Southwestern Alberta as, respectively, below and above the provincial averages, and initiatives developed by these organizations are finding success correcting that imbalance.

“We are delighted to share the 2019 edition of Vital Signs with our community,” said Davidson.

“We hope it will give you a greater understanding of the community, and maybe even help inform your charitable giving in future.”

Each of Vital Signs’ six Impact Areas highlight related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. A series of interconnected objectives aiming to reduce inequality, eradicate poverty, and foster responsible longterm growth, the SDGs are increasingly receiving national attention. The Government of Canada is developing a national strategy to stimulate action and track progress toward realization of goals relevant to Canadian society.

The Vital Signs 2019 launch will be held on Thursday, October 3 at 10:30 a.m. at the Community Foundation office. All are welcome at this free event. For more information or to RSVP, please contact the Community Foundation at 403-3285297 or office@cflsa.ca.

KORBINIAN “KORBY” GRAF (September 19, 1929 – September 30, 2019)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Korby Graf on September 30, 2019 at the Crowsnest Continuing Care Centre, Blairmore, AB. He was 90 years of age.

Korby was born in Benedikbeuren, Germany on September 19, 1929. When he came to Canada in the early 1950s, he settled in the Crowsnest Pass, AB. Over the years he had many businesses, but he was best known as the owner of CNP Plumbing and Heating. Korby was a true craftsman with an incredible work ethic. He took great pride in everything he created; his crowning achievement being the solar house he built in Bellevue, AB. While he didn’t belong to any official clubs or organizations, Korby was a lifetime member of “The Workaholic’s Club”. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed watching wrestling and hockey, listening to German music and going to jam sessions at the Greenhill. Korby was also a talented cook and baker as anyone lucky enough to sample his apple fritters or plum cake could attest to. Korby was a dedicated and loyal husband, father, grandfather and friend, and he enriched the lives of everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed.

Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life is his wife, Pat Mosby-Graf of Blairmore, AB; his children, David, Bridget (Jack), Irma, Pete, Karl (Deserie), Louise, Andrew (Tammy) and Karen (Shane); many grandchildren and great grandchildren; his special niece, Elfie (Gunter); his extended family; and his faithful dog, Rusty.

He was predeceased by his parents; his son, Martin; his daughter, Ida; and three brothers and one sister in Germany.

The Celebration of Life will take place at the Bellevue Legion (2401, 213 St., Bellevue, AB) on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at 2:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted by the Crowsnest Pass SPCA (PO Box 725, Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0). Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

Fantin’s Funeral Chapel entrusted with the arrangements.
