Sea to Sea for PTSD

David Selles photo

Chad Kennedy and his team have began the trial run of their Sea to Sea for PTSD walk that will be taking place beginning in April of 2022. The trial will take them from the Alberta/BC border to the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to test out how the walk will go next year. Kennedy came up with the idea for this fundraiser after he was diagnosed with PTSD after serving as a law enforcement officer and being first on scene to a tourist bus rollover at the Columbia Icefields. The team will complete their trial walk on September 24th. PICTURED LEFT TO RIGHT: Sonya Sharpe, Lisa Ellsworth, Troy Treit, Chad Kennedy, Natasha Johnston, Diana Festejo.

Intervenor Status: What it is and who’s all involved Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council voted to ask for Intervenor Status in the Riversdale Court Appeal DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

As part of the appeal process for Riversdale Resources, intervenor status can play a role in a new decision on the Grassy Mountain Project.

There are a number of different people who are able to gain intervenor status.

Any individuals or groups with a special interest or particular expertise in the subject matter

can apply for intervenor status, and each application is evaluated by the Court based on several factors.

With respect to the Alberta Court of Appeal, in most cases, but not all, the Court does not grant intervenor status to parties until after Permission to Appeal has been granted.

The role of intervenors is to be a limited participant in a court pro-

ceeding between other parties.

The purpose of an intervention is to present legal submissions that are useful and provide a fresh perspective on existing legal issues before the Court.

Typically, intervenors have legal representation and do not present evidence; only legal argument on the legal issues already brought before

the Court by the applicant(s) and respondent(s).

This is in contrast to regulatory proceedings, like the Joint Review Panel public hearing process, where intervenors are permitted to present evidence and argument on various factual or legal issues with respect to a proposed project.

There is no strict deadline for applying to

intervene but courts expect intervenors to apply to participate without delay following the Permission to Appeal being granted.

What an intervenor is able to do can be summarized by this example from Tsleil-Waututh Nation v. Canada (Attorney General) - Federal Court of Appeal (fca-caf.gc.ca) Paragraph 55. “[I]nterveners are

guests at a table already set with the food already out on the table. Interveners can comment from their perspective on what they see, smell and taste.

They cannot otherwise add food to the table in any way.”

Council for the Municipality voted unanimously to apply for intervenor status as soon as possible at a previous Council Meeting.

Tourism numbers stay solid through summer months DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Two big attractions in the Crowsnest Pass saw another solid summer of visitors.

Both the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre and

the Bellevue Underground Mine saw a steady flow of visitors come through their doors through the summer months.

Program Coordinator at the FSIC, Myriah

Sagrafena, says the Centre had a very successful summer.

"We had a really busy summer.

Everything turned out excellent. We had over 15,000 paying visitors come to the Centre from the middle of June to the end of August."

Sagrafena says that number is a little bit higher than previous years.

While Covid-19 limited what the Centre was able to do this year, Sagrafena says some programming was still held

during the summer.

"We didn't have any special events running this summer other than having a few car groups come down and tour through the Centre but our main programming was outdoor guided walks on the Frank Slide Trail as well as our very popular boardwalk talk, which took place just on the boardwalk overlooking the Frank Slide."

Sagrafena said the programming was well received.

"It was very successful. We had well over 2,000 people participate in our programming."

The Centre is already looking forward to next year as well.

"We're definitely

looking forward to next summer. We're trying to figure out new ways to reach people. As special events, we'll be participating in the Doors Open and Heritage Festival and we're also hoping to get some other programming off the ground but nothing is set in stone as of this moment."

Sagrafena says the Centre will still be open going into the winter months.

"The Centre is going to be open throughout the winter. We'll be closed on Mondays but will be open 10am-5pm on all other days. We also have Alberta Culture Days coming up and there will be free admission to the Centre from September 24th-

The Bellevue Underground Mine also completed a successful summer.

"From the first day through Labour Day it was busy the entire time.

We were at or near capacity almost the entire summer,” said CEO Chris Matthews.

The summer was still a success despite the lack of events.

"This year because of the pandemic, we kept it simple and just ran tours.

We didn't offer any events this year," said Matthews.

Moving forward, Matthews says he’s hopeful for a return to more events and offers at the Mine but understands nothing is guaranteed at the moment.

"There is so much in the air with what will be allowed next year. We hope to have a lot more pre pandemic activity at the mine. A lot of the time when we're at or near capacity, there's not a lot of room to offer anything else. We're in a weird box of being nice and busy and that a tour is what people get and we just try to make it the best experience possible."

The Mine also saw success switching to an online booking service this summer.

"We're really happy with how the online booking went this year.

People adopted it fairly well and that will continue for years to come.

When we go live for 2022 for our online bookings we'll put out a big announcement and people will be able to book early and get their tour spots before they fill up."

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

The old versus the young What a breath of fresh air to have an editorial from a young adult in the paper that I contribute to. My job is that of the opposition and I work on it. For a long time, we dismissed the political power held by young people who just became eligible to vote. There are millions of them, but we assumed they are not interested. I have a nineteen-year-old grandson and I know that they have opinions, analytical minds, and often a strong interest in the way we lead the country.

Their elders dismiss them, as Aiden Douglas said. In the past, people said the same about women. A known argument against women’s suffrage was that it will give every married man two votes, his own and his wife’s. I have been married close to fifty years and am still guessing how my wife may be voting. My grandson proudly told me who he was voting for. He is not voting for his dad’s favourite party. His dad, who runs a small business, thinks that he is a big entrepreneur and votes for big business against what my grandson Kaydan considers his group, the students and working people. His mother is a nurse risking her life daily while watching politicians cut her pay.

There are differences between the old and young. The old have more life experience, gather more information, but often have loyalty to someone or something that is changed or gone. They/we are also short-sighted physically and mentally.

Why, for example, should I worry about fifty years from now? Kaydan and Aiden should be concerned with the future far beyond my limits. In politics, I may vote for a party that helped my parents 70 years ago while the young guys probably will be alive seventy years from now, if Medicare isn’t privatized. I may be concerned about coal while they will need microchips. Older guys may be concerned about their constitutional right to spread a communicable disease while the young are affected by cuts to education.

Young people today are facing decisions that I never did. The world is a different place than it was in my youth. They are doing it bravely, but they base their choices on the information they learned from us older folks. They follow the examples we set for them. Is that freedom of choice? Do they have the tools they need for building the world of the future?

REMINDER to residents and owners of PETS, do NOT leave your pet in vehicles in the extreme heat, it could be extremely fatal to your PET Reminder to property owners to lock your doors and vehicles. Also mark your belongings and record serial numbers of tools and other important items.

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.

YOUR choice for auto body repair.

We the old, engineered world wars, a dog-eat-dog world, machines that use up all the air and water that young generations need for their future. In 30 years, they may have to pay for air. We already pay and fight for fresh water. Here in our little paradise in the mountains, we see the fight shaping up today. We are facing up with our neighbours downhill about water as I am writing these words. Politicians are making the choices based on votes. Do the young people have the background needed to choose what will be their future?

Douglas wrote in his editorial about “Greta Thunberg, who is 15.” Sorry young friend, she is now 18 and still fighting. Canada is emitting only a small percentage of CO2 for its size but check the per capita figures. A billion-plus people in India and another billion-plus in China are emitting much more, but they are trying to survive while our emissions give us a life most of them can’t even dream to live.

We need heat and they need cooling and food. Per capita, they do more to curb the atmospheric damage and there are no walls on earth to separate them from us.

All we can do is start a nuclear war and destroy your future forever.

I am so impressed to see a young person calling other young people, who now have a vote, to dive in and do something about the way the country and the world are going. Lifeguards are especially good at it since they are trained to risk it all to save others. My generation fought to end wars, bring equality, and have the freedom to make moral judgments. We lost some but won much. At the time, we didn’t foresee the troubles the world will face now when the population doubled, corporations grew at the expense of little businesses, the Media bought by private interests to no longer give a complete picture and so much more.

I also, just like you, want young and old to take an interest in politics and have a say in running the world. We only have one. I encourage people to see who in politics are the habitual liars, who demonstrably do something for most of us, and who are concerned with what we will leave for you young people. Don’t be fooled by those who ask “who will pay for” the needs of the majority of people while giving away all of what we have to a chosen few. Ask who chose them to have what they can never even spend.

Aiden, Kaydan, and others like them will run the world at the time that I and the dwindling group, who are now the “elders” will no longer have a say about our destiny and the world’s future. Looking into the crystal ball now is not promising.

The neglect of the elders, the selfish squandering of the world’s resources, and the ruthless race for power by power-hungry people are scary. Go on like that and our civilization is lost.

It is not the only way. There is a theory, now 2000 years old, where people voluntarily take care of each other, not hoard wealth and power, while improving the world and what people will become. We must set our goals towards what is good and work for it. Elections every few years are the stepping stones to achieving the goal if we choose it.

Golfing for Health The Crowsnest Pass Golf Club donated a cheque for $1000 to the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation at their annual tournament fundraiser, which was held on September 9. This will go towards replacing TVs and DVD players, etc. in Long Term Care as well as many other projects at our local hospital. The golf course also wanted to recognize all the hard work that goes into organizing the tournament as well. It was a great day for all.

Editorial This weekend I had the pleasure of being a station at the Teen Amazing Race.

Grades 7 to 10 students from Livingstone Range and Crowsnest Consolidated High School, mimicked the Amazing Race television show. Basically, they made 22 teams of four and spent the day doing several tasks throughout the community in a competition of skill, knowledge and teamwork.

40 Developmental Assets set aside $1000 for a community challenge. The premise is, “if you had $1000 to improve a day in the life of a teen in Crowsnest Pass what would you do?”

Each group met here at the Pass Herald and had 15 minutes to come up with an initiative that would improve the community. The winning group would then implement the idea.

You will see in the paper a photo of each team along with their incredible ideas. We would like the community to pick the winner. Basically you can cut out and mail the team idea you liked the most or you can email me at the Pass Herald (passherald@shaw.ca) and let me know the idea you think is the best. The competition is open until September 27 at noon. We will have the winning group announced in the paper on the September 29 issue. Please respond, these young students worked hard and came up with incredible ideas, lets come together as a community to let them know they resonated.

So on a Saturday, when I would have enjoyed a quite day with my kids, I spent the day with everyone else’s kids being a station.

Let me be clear, I spend a good amount of my life as a councillor, so when you don’t see me at weekend events, it’s because I have made a conscious decision to spend time with my own kids, which often get left out as I try to run a business and represent our community.

But, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the day. I was blown away by the caliber of these kid’s innovative ideas and how close some of their ideas are to initiatives we are pursuing within council.

Some of the highflying ideas include refurbishing the gazebo in Blairmore with student volunteers while bringing in the art and wood working class from the high school.

Many groups wanted to use the $1000 to resurrect either the Roxy Theatre in Coleman or the Orpheum Theatre in Blairmore.

One group wanted to start up a student garden at the high school, bringing in seniors to help them figure out what to plant and using the food in a school food program for breakfasts and lunches.

With the closing of Albert Stella a group of young students wanted to resurrect a skate park or even the facility itself.

One group wanted to make a disc golf course at the base of Pass Powderkeg.

I was so impressed with the day and the quality of ideas coming from the youth in the valley. It was a wake up call for me to brainstorm on how we can engage the youth more. Even though I missed a day with my kids, I have to tell you I sure enjoyed all of yours.

This program reaffirms to me why we have a student council representative on council. The youth in our community are enthusiastic and full of ideas. I love hearing their thoughts and their perspective in the community. Often I am disillusioned with this world, but on days like this when I get to visit with 88 high flyers in our community I know when I’m gone this community will be left is fantastic capable hands.

Economic impact or benefits?

Dear Editor, First off, I would like to apologize for getting into the weeds in this article. The devil is in the details: A few statements from the “Report of the Joint Review Panel” for the Benga Mines Grassy Mountain Coal Project regarding economics are disturbing and cast a dark shadow on the competence of Government bureaucrats as well as the integrity of the Review Panel process. A number of clauses could be referenced, however in the interests of a concise article I have condensed examples down to, in whole or in part, three clauses (#2792, #2871,#2872) and part of recommendation six. Readers are encouraged to read these clauses in their entirety.

In clause# 2792, Benga clarified that “it only considered a residual effect to be significant if it was adverse and that its

assessment identified both positive and negative project effects, although the methodology did not explicitly calculate “benefits”.”

In clause #2871 a mine opponent said that “Benga used the final version of Alberta’s terms of reference to guide its socioeconomic assessment, and that those terms of reference did not include “economic benefits.”

Rather, they required an assessment of impacts on regional and provincial economies. The Coalition noted that, by failing to require an assessment of economic benefits, the terms of reference created a significant analytical gap that caused considerable confusion.”

In 2872 the Review Panel states that “they heard that Benga considered the provincial terms of reference to direct it to conduct one type of economic analysis.” And then they go on to say “ there

does not appear to be clear guidance available from either the federal or provincial governments on the type of economic analysis that should be conducted as part of an EIA.”. Their final conclusion is Recommendation 6 which in part states: “We recommend that the federal and provincial governments clarify the requirements for economic analysis for future provincial EIAs or federal impact assessments.”

Recommendation 6 is an acknowledgment that instructions to Benga were not clear and hence misled the proponent. This point is believed by Benga, some opponents of the mine, and the Review Panel.

For me the nagging thought that the Review Panel, who did recognize that there was confusion and made an economic analysis recommendation, still chose to state the project would have “low to

moderate positive economic impacts on the regional economy.” The public interprets this as low to moderate economic benefits, however Benga stated that “it only considered a residual effect to be significant if it was adverse.” The benefits of the Grassy Mountain mine proposal were not requested by government and therefore Benga tried to meet the government request for economics by viewing “Impact” rather than “benefits”. It is sad but true!

Now we all know what ‘prepare for impact means’. What we need to hear is ‘prepare for benefits’. This obvious failure in process and propagation of a misconception in the Review Panel decision is another reason for reinstating the Grassy Mine Project review with a panel committed to building relationships and creating jobs for Albertans.

Tim Juhlin

Grassy Mountain Reflections Dear Editor, It has been suggested that the Grassy Mountain review panel rejected the proposed open-pit coal mine due to the actions of the proposal’s vocal opponents. I see no foundation for this. What I believe is that anyone participating in the hearing or watching it on YouTube would be hard-

pressed to suggest the proposal passed the acidtest in terms of scientific rigor and social worth.

I offer that the proposal failed to receive endorsement because it failed to present a compelling case for the project’s viability. It failed on multiple fronts. It failed as assessed by health-care professionals, biologists,

hydrologists, and geologists.

What disturbs me most about the Grassy Mountain review process is that it forced the people of Alberta to bear the full weight of the proposal’s assessment and evaluation. They had to put their lives on hold to do this and, if sufficiently concerned, leap daunting

hurdles to participate in a public hearing. This level of involvement required a long, deep-water swim in a sea of stormy bureaucratic adversity, and the need to find and engage subject experts. The cost: enormous.

It’s logical to believe some of the most vocal pro-mining advocates are Cont’d on page 14

Simply Selles Musings from your local reporter I had another enjoyable weekend.

It started Friday night afternoon with a drive out to Beauvais Lake to visit my parents and aunt and uncle from BC who were camping there over the weekend.

It was nice to see my aunt and uncle as I don’t see them all that often.

I enjoyed the afternoon and evening with them and then headed home.

Sunday was another great day.

I woke up at 5:00am (I can already imagine you questioning how that makes a great day) and headed out to Banff.

My sister was running a half marathon and I wanted to be there to show her support.

The drive up was a little sketchy as there was heavy fog all the way to Calgary but once I got through the city the fog was gone and the rain had stopped as well.

I eventually made it to Banff and headed out to the start line of the race.

It was my first time in Banff in years and once I saw her start the race, I knew I had some time to explore the town.

Unfortunately, it started pouring rain about half an hour after she started her race so my time was then spent waiting to see her run by while hiding under a tree not getting totally soaked.

Eventually she came running by and then I headed for the finish line to make sure I could get a video of her crossing the line.

I managed to position myself right at the edge of the finish line for the best possible shot of her running down the homestretch.

I used to run with her but my knees haven’t given me that chance the last while so I figured being there during her race would be the next best thing.

Once the race was completed, We went to a small local restaurant and had lunch.

We enjoyed our lunch outside as the rain had subsided and the sun began peaking out from behind the clouds.

Following lunch, I began the drive back to the Pass.

I decided I’d go through Kananaskis Country as I’d never taken that stretch of road before.

I’m glad I did.

Even though there were stretches of the drive where it rained and clouds hid the peaks of some mountains, I still got a pretty good idea of the beauty that stretch of road has to offer and I now understand why my parents drive that road every year.

Once I made it through the Kananaskis and back onto highway 22, the rain came down again.

It was fairly slow going at stretches as the rain sounded like a machine gun hitting my Jeep but eventually I made it back into Blairmore just as the rain was stopping.

While the drives to and from Banff had their stressful moments, I was glad I made the trip there.

Overall it was a great weekend and I’m glad I was able to do the things I was.

Here’s hoping I have more fun weekends ahead.

Thank You from the family of

IrIs ruzek There are not enough words to fully express our heartfelt thanks for the sympathy, love and support everyone has shown to our family during this time of loss.

~ Federal Election Q & A ~

John Barlow Conservative Party of Canada Leading up to the election on Monday, September 20th, we asked the Candidates Foothills three questions that pertain to our home, the Crowsnest Pass.

The Pass Herald reached out to John Barlow from the Conservatives, Paula Shimp of the Liberals, Brett Rodgers of the Green Party, Dan Hunter of the People’s Party of Canada, Michelle Traxel of the NDP and Josh Wylie of the Maverick Party.

We did not receive answers to our questions from the NDP or Maverick party candidates.

Below are the answers we received on our three questions:

Question #1 The topic of Coal Mining has been a big one over the last number of years in the Crowsnest Pass. What is your stance specifically on the extraction of coal in the Crowsnest Pass and Alberta?

John Barlow Conservative Party of Canada: It is important the provincial Alberta government be allowed to complete its comprehensive public review into coal mining, the 1976 Coal Mine Policy and land use in the Eastern Slopes. This report will provide the vision from Albertans and the template on whether or not there will be further resource development in the Eastern Slopes and if so where. I do not want to see multiple open pit coal mines

Paula Shimp Liberal Party of Canada

throughout the eastern slopes, however, if the report shows there is an area, such as Crowsnest Pass, where a mine could be built with local community and First Nation support it could be looked at. Again, decisions on approving these applications must be left to arms-length experts and the rigorous review and approval process in place. They should not be left to political influence as we saw with Northern Gateway pipeline. Any application must abide by the strict environmental standards within the Alberta Energy Regulator, the Canadian Environmental Impact Assessment and prove it will not have adverse impacts on the watershed, environment or species at risk.

Paula Shimp Liberal Party of Canada: Those of us who live in the south recognize that people living in the remote areas of the Crowsnest Pass, Pincher Creek, and on the Piikani reserve face limited employment opportunities.

This reality needs to change through wellplaced and well-conceived government and private business investments. The people of this region deserve to be assisted in creating a sustainable living for themselves and their children that does NOT rely upon coal mining.

My top priority in this election is safeguarding our water and air from coal mining developments and operations in the eastern slopes of the Rockies. I believe coal mining represents a toxic

Brett Rogers Green Party of Canada

double-assault to our health and ways of life. In particular, I am concerned that the coalmine approval and regulatory processes have overlooked two vital pieces of information: (a) Waterborne selenium and its impact on our riding’s vibrant honey bee industry; and (b) Airborne nano-sized silica released as coal dust and its impact on community health.

Waterborne Selenium - Two years ago, researchers from the University of Mississippi discovered that the honeybee lacks “selenoprotein genes” which makes it especially “susceptible to elevated levels of selenium” [M. Alburaki, Journal of Insect Physiology 117, 2019]. Exposure to elevated selenium is proven to cause bee mortality, decrease worker bee weight, and threaten the “survival of colonies”. The Alberta government’s approval and permitting of coal mine development in our honey bee regions could not have assessed the potential impact on this multi-billion dollar industry because, as the researchers noted, the honey bee tolerance levels of selenium is “poorly understood”. And as Alberta’s Lee Eddy BSc Agriculture has identified, inorganic selenite as a byproduct of coal mining is “extremely soluble… which allows it to be taken up by plants” which then becomes10 to 100 times more bio-available “when consumed or absorbed by other living organisms” such as honey bees. As a candidate for election, I would like to see honey bee researchers

duces a lot of CO2 and other significant pollutants, such as Mercury and Nitrogen Oxide.

Progress is being made to reduce some of these byproducts by an emerging Advanced company, Emissions Solutions (learned about them doing Stock Market Research), but this is largely isolated to increasing combustion and decreasing mercury and nitrogen oxide coming from smoke stacks. I do not think these improvements are enough to allow new Coal Power Plants to be built, but it does help justify keeping existing Coal Power Plants running longer, especially those in good working order. I believe it is best to phase out coal as fast as possible, but Clean Energy Power Generation are not enough. We must remember that burning coal produces Ash, which is a valuable reinforcing agent in cement, wallboard, aluminum alloys, and more it has special proprieties.

To completely stop the use of coal, alternatives for its Ash need to be developed as well. My brief Google search implies alternatives are not well developed. Another key point to consider is that using coal in Canada is more environmentally friendly than exporting it.

Climate Change is a Global Crisis and all countries need to work together to efficiently and quickly decrease CO2. If coal use is needed in a distant country, they should seek the most environmentally friendly place to source it from, not necessarily that with the lowest price.

and producers weigh in on any coal mining developments that could imthis valuable pact industry. Airborne nanosized silica - Emerging research in the field of respiratory medicine reveals that particle size matters when it comes to silica-related respiratory and immunological diseases. In particular, nanosized silica released into the air as a component of open pit coal mining dust has been shown to impact air quality and the health of residents in nearby communities. It is associated with increased infertility in nearby localities, and “the development of several autoimmune diseases, including systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and chronic renal disease… silicosis and lung cancer” [W. Lin, Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology 217, 2006, p. 252-259]. Can those of us who live in and downwind of the Crowsnest Pass wind tunnel afford to have our health affected by nanosized airborne silica and its impact on our respiratory, immunological, and mitochondrial health? On our children’s fertility?

We who live in the foothills region of the Rocky Mountains know that the wind blows from the west and our waters flow down slope and downstream. Protecting our drinking and irrigation waters from selenium toxicity, and our air from silica dust, is our collective responsibility.

What is your stance on the need for vaccinations? Do you support the idea of the need for vaccine passports to gain access to certain events and activities?

Brett Rodgers

John Barlow

Green Party of Canada: What I do know is that burning coal pro-

Dan Hunter People’s Party of Canada: I am pro resource development.

Question #2:

Conservative Party of Canada: I was a member of the

Standing Committee on Heath for the past year and participated in the discussion on vaccines, pandemic response and procurement of emergency protective equipVaccines and ment. passports are provincial jurisdiction, but I believe whether or not one chooses to get a vaccine is a personal choice and one’s health information is personal and private.

However, during discussions at the health committee health experts did not support mandatory vaccinations and there should be more emphasis put on alternatives such as rapid testing. Rapid testing should be more accessible for those who chose not to get vaccinated. Also, what a Conservative government is proposing is a national proof of vaccination program for Canadians who want to travel internationally. Countries around the world, including the United States and UK, are requiring proof of vaccination for any travellers.

Canada does not have a national, consistent travel document. To ensure Canadians can travel for holidays, for work or to visit family, Canada must implement a national proof of vaccination document and it is a failure this has not been done by the Liberals.

Paula Shimp Liberal Party of Canada: I strongly encourage every person who can to get vaccinated. We Canadians are fortunate in that we have ample access to Covid vaccines. Choosing to get vaccinated continues to be the single most effective way to safeguard our own health, the health of others, and to keep our struggling health care system afloat.

Evidence continues to pile-up that our province’s ‘too-low’ of a vaccination rate leads to: - Overworked and exhausted doctors and nurses - A health system on the verge of collapse - Postponed and cancelled surgeries for our neighbours, family members, and friends Cont’d on page 9

Wednesday, September 15, 2021 - crowsnEst PAss HErALD - 9

~ Federal Election Q & A ~ - Limited out-ofprovince travelling options - Delayed economic recovery - Ongoing deaths - Ongoing cases of Covid Long Hauler - Increased risk of infection for children and pregnant women For these reasons, I am in favour of vaccine passports. I believe we can do better as a society.

That respecting our shared need for safe public spaces is the foundation of our communities.

Without it, there is only conflict and chaos.

On a personal note, I have almost 20 years of firsthand experience battling a poorly understood and rare respiratory condition uncannily similar to that of Long Covid. I am committed to highlighting the difficulties Covid Long Haulers face as they move through their recovery process. Many will be affected by symptoms of profound fatigue, debilitating weakness, brain fog, bouts of temporary cognitive decline… when their symptoms are at their worst, Covid Long Haulers may not be able to look after themselves or their children, may not be able to drive, and may not be able to work. Ensuring they have access to appropriate, effective and responsive programs, services, and community and/or family-based supports is the key to getting them back on their feet.

become a culture that accepts our political leaders are not trust worthy - I would really like to see our leaders earn our trust back. Luckily, I know a lot about mRNA, other genetic therapies, and a good amount about vaccines. The mRNA vaccines are scientifically and statistically much safer than conventional vaccines, likely because the cells in our body are constantly recycling mRNA that escapes the nuclear region of the cell where DNA is expressed, as well as that which is inserted by germs inside our body.

What we do need to be concerned about is the substances used to stimulate the immune system to trigger an antibody response, as well as preservatives. I suspect that Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine is better tolerated compared to Mederna’s – both are very well tolerated - because Pfizer uses less aggressive preservatives compared to Mederna; this is why Pfizer’s needs to be stored at -80C to 60C and Mederna’s only 50C to -15C. With more powerful variants appearing to be an inevitable future, I support vaccine passports, for now.

Brett Rodgers

The Crowsnest Pass is an older community. In what ways does your party’s platform support senior citizens while also building a future for new and young families to prosper?

accessibility tax credit, allow caregivers, including children, to access the Medical Expense Tax Credit, introduce the Long-Term Care Benefit which pays $200 per month per household to Canadians taking care of a parent over 70; address GIS eligibility; increasing the Canada Workers Benefit; change legislation to protect pensions who should have priority when corporations restructure of go bankrupt; and fix long terms care committing $3 billion to renovate long term care centres cross Canada.

For new and young families in Foothills Canada’s Recovery Plan will include access to high speed internet by 2025, which will be bring new businesses and economic opportunity to rural Canada, set aside a portion of infrastructure spending for rural communities to improve transportation, infrastructure and create jobs, develop a national tourism strategy to attract visitors and encourage tourists to our rural communities; appoint a Minister of Rural Affairs to Cabinet to ensure our voice is heard; tackle rural crime and not law-abiding firearms owners; launch the Main Street Business Loan to help small businesses get back on their feet; and the Canada Investment Accelerator tax credit for small businesses.

We need to transition from the Liberals’ credit Card economy to a paycheque economy where Canadians are back to work and our small businesses have the resources they need to get back up and running and get our economy back on track.

John Barlow

Paula Shimp

Conservative Party of Canada: Covid has been difficult for seniors and we need to address the gaps unveiled during Covid.

Conservatives have a plan to ensure seniors can stay in their homes longer by amending the home

Liberal Party of Canada: A re-elected Liberal government will give micro grants of up to $2,400 to smaller Main Street businesses so they can afford the costs of new technology; and, will provide training for up to 28,000 young people so

Green Party of Canada: This is not a situation like Racism or Prejudice, if you are not carrying antibodies for COVID-19 you are more likely to transmit it to someone who may not be in a favourable state of health to deal with it effectively, vaccinated or not. Everyone has a right to know who could hurt them. I appreciate why some people were/are uncomfortable with how our government rushed into using the new mRNA and other vaccines. We have

Dan Hunter People’s Party of Canada: I am against vaccine passports. Vaccine decisions are private and should stay private.

Question #3

they can assist small and medium-sized businesses in adopting new technology. They will also make Canada Small Business Financing Program loans to an additional 2,900 small businesses, launch a new Arts and Culture Recovery Program that will match ticket sales for live performance and dedicate $2 billion to help retrain workers in 4 provinces, including Alberta, to transition over to work in a greener economy For Seniors, if elected, the Liberal government will increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement by $500 per year for eligible individual seniors and $750 per year for senior couples.

This will benefit approximately 2.2 million seniors.

A Liberal government will also address the inequitable access to family doctors, other health and social services providers, faced by many rural residents. Becoming a doctor or nurse is a costly business, and the Liberals are committed to expanding the number of family doctors, nurses, and primary health teams in rural communities by substantially increasing debt relief incentives through the Canada Student Loans forgiveness program to those doctors and nurses who choose to practice in rural communities. Student loan debt relief will also be expanded to other health and social service providers practicing in rural communities, including: dentists, pharmacists, dental hygienists, midwives, social workers, psychologists, teachers, and early childhood educators. There will also be a one-time income tax deduction for those setting up a new practice. These financial incentives will help rural seniors who need increased access to health services and to those of us who leave our small rural communities for an education in health, education, and social services, to be able to return home to practice in our home communities. A re-elected Liberal govern-

ment will make groundbreaking strides to bring Mental Health Care for everyone. We will create a $5 billion mental health transfer to provinces – and increased investments to support First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities - earmarked for increased availability of mental health care; including, for those affected by the pandemic, substance use, perinatal mental health, and, improved access to trauma and mental health for people impacted by the residential schools. A Liberal government will fully fund a national, 3-digit mental health crisis and suicide prevention hotline. We will include mental health as a specific element of occupational health and safety under the Canada Labour Code and require federally regulated employees to take preventative steps to address workplace stress and injury. We will conduct a review of access to federal disability programs and services – including CPP-D and the Disability Tax Credit – to ensure they are accessible to people experiencing mental health challenges.

Seniors Long-Term Care problems were exposed by the pandemic; and, the Liberals will improve the quality and availability of long-term care homes and beds; implement strict infection prevention and control measures through mandated inspections; and, develop a Safe LongTerm Care Act to ensure seniors are guaranteed the care they deserve, no matter where they live.

The Liberals will continue to help eligible first-time homebuyers finance their home purchases through the CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation). The Liberals will also introduce a new rent-to-own program, and will commit $1 billion in loans and grants to develop rent-to-own projects with private, notfor-profit, and co-op partners.

Brett Rodgers Green Party of Canada: I’d rather answer a similar question “how I would help enhance the quality of life for all ages and income levels in Canada”. My 6 sciencebased books and textbook mind-body-spirit on health and performance enhancement strategies puts me in a good position to guide the innovation of the public school curriculum (article on website), Health Canada, Research Canada and other facets of our country from a Federal Level.

Aside from teaching upand-coming generations these skills in the classroom, as well as other vital life skills (ex finances, working with government, communication skills, etc.; discussed in an article on my website) subsidizing health and performance enhancing purchases for all people can help reduce the burden unhealthy people place on our Health Care, Welfare, and Unemployment Systems, as well as in other ways (ex. mistakes and poor mood healthier people are more intelligent, enduring, and happier). When it comes to conception, pregnancy and early childhood, greater efforts will be made because manymany studies show that these periods of life set a hard to change foundation for the rest of the child’s life, as well as that of their parents. When it comes to senior care, my For-Profit Non-Profit Social Enterprise Model would make it easier for Managers of these Care Facilities to be less tempted by greed, resulting in better care. This business model could very well be a major game-changer for the everyday Canadian’s future; discussed more on my website

Dan Hunter People’s Party of Canada: The PPC is dedicated to maintaining all citizens charter rights and freedoms.

Fuelled by Food - Team 5 Logan Davidson, Kailan Pagnucco, Silas Mertz, Adam Farraj This team would like to see some beautification done to Gazebo Park. They would Repane the gazebo and add flower boxes and hanging planters and add light posts around it. Instead of hiring a business to do the renovations the team would do this through volunteers and use the students in the school. School council could lead the initiative and they would use the wood working and welding class to make the light post stands and flower boxes to save money.

Inferno - Team 7 Sebastian Brecht, Reed Plosz, Nik Wallbaum, Archer Ames This team would use the money to start up a program for youth nights. They would recommend movie nights and sports nights. To keep the program going they could fundraise through businesses and sell snacks and drinks. This would keep the youth from roaming around doing nothing by keeping them busy and getting excited and meeting more people and students. This would also help create inclusivity.

The Salty Pretzels - Team 9 Aliyah MacGarva, Jana Van der Bank, Kuria Bailey, Anja Van der Bank This team would donate the money to the local SPCA so they can house more animals in a diverse environment.

This team came up with the idea for a community garden at CCHS. The team would use the seed money of $1000 to approach the town to match the funds so they can start with $2000.00. They would also fundraise in the community to get the program up and running through student council. Their plan is to create a community garden at the Crowsnest Consolidated High School. They would have an agricultural option class to help come up with interesting and sustainable things to plant. They would plant, weed and grow the garden. The food could then be used in our foods class and for the school lunch and breakfast program for students, especially those in need. The team would also ask the senior group in our community to helps us grow our garden and work hand in hand with us

The All Stars - Team 8 Marin Anderson, Kaleigh Fox, Peyton Hammer, Emma Harrington This team would use the money to help renovate the Orpheum Theatre in Blairmore.

They would use the money to help coordinate volunteer groups to help renovate the business. They say small renovations can lead to big things.

The Flaming Eyes - Team 11 Maddison Hvizdos, Ivy Folkard, Sophia Groves, Finbar Wood

The Lollipops - Team 12 Ayla Smith, Neleta Crombie, Bryer Cytko, Sam Uhersky

This team would plan to put money towards a public community skate park. They say it would bring both adults and youth together in a safe place and it will create jobs for kids that want part time work by cleaning the park. They also say it gets people active and there is more opportunities for local business to sponsor and endorse and just get involved. It will also be a lot of fun.

This team would use the money for a permanent outdoor drive in movie theatre. The theatre would have a snack shop and a bathroom. They think the perfect spot is at the Hillcrest Ball Diamond Complex. They would fundraise with 50/50 draws and ask for community donations. Their plan is to have movies on Saturday nights.

The Barnacles - Team 13 Ryleigh Oberholtzer, Jorja Oberholtzer, Ella McNeil, Halie MacDonald

Pass Ratz - Team 14

This team would use the money to create a youth hangout spot. The name would be ‘The Hangout’. This would be a safe place for teens to gather together indoors for the winter. It would be a club, but just for teens to hang out and relate to each other. Wifi would be provided along with seating, drinks and snacks. The drinks and snacks could provide employment for those teens in need. It would be a place for kids that need a comfortable and safe environment to be able to visit and do homework or hang out with friends. There would be help for homework and other things.

Keaton Tippel, Seth Sharp, Avery Whelan, River Clark

The Nerf Ninjas - Team 15 Cohen Folkard, Levi Goin, Carson Hay, Nelson Groves This team would use the $1000 to host a fundraiser to restore the Roxy Theatre in Coleman.

This team would put the money into fixing Albert Stella Memorial Arena so that kids could have the indoor skate park, rock climbing, indoor soccer, gymnastics and lacrosse back. Presently the youth have lost rock climbing, the skate board park and Lacrosse.

This will bring back many happy memories teens had before they got shut down.

Teenage Ninja Turtles - Team 16 Leah Neumeier, Ella Woodman, Sydney Reynolds, Topher Olesen This team would use the money towards making the Roxy Theatre in Coleman a movie theatre again.

This team would use the money to piggyback fundraising to build a new skate park.

The team would like to build it by the bike park because it would be centralized and would compliment the activities already there and encourage tourism.

This team would use the $1,000 to gather community groups together to re-build the Alberta Stella Memorial Area. As a community we are all disappointed with the sudden stop of the facility. It was a great way to enjoy recreational activities within the community at a low rate. We think as a community we can bring it back!

Natalie Kirkman, Brooklyn Eden, Kylee Steenhart, Nadine Hamilton

Mary Rast, Alex Mertz, Jane Huska, Page Rast

This team would use the $1,000 to build a skate park in the field in Blairmore near the baseball field. It would be made out of concrete.

This team would use the $1000 to put a bathroom at the very top or bottom of the ski hill. This would make the ski hill more user friendly.

The Bean Team - Team 21 Mackenzie Heyboer, Keira Leggette, Ciera Wemp, Saiya Miklos

Four Musketeers - Team 22 Ruby Jamieson, Analise Perry, Brook Johnston, Tallyn Forget

This team would use the money on an outdoor skateboard park in an open area with places to sit around it. The area would include picnic benches and a washroom where the whole community could go for events and family time.

This team would donate $500 to an orphanage and the other $500 to Pakistan because the Taliban are coming in.

Grassy Mountain reflections cont’d from page 6 those who invested in the proposal and did so based on the assumption that the review process, instead of requiring rigor and substance, was a rubber stamp.

The proposed mining of Grassy Mountain, had it been approved, would have, in addition to ignoring the hearing’s well-documented, founded-in-science concerns, slammed the door on much of southwestern Alberta’s ability to derive sustained long-range ecological and economical benefits provided by an intact headwaters landscape and its capture and slow release of water to the land’s dry, ever-thirsty consumers.

And there’s this: Pincher Creek and Crowsnest Pass have, twice, been visited by delegations from Teton County, Wyoming, one of the richest per capita counties in the US. Their delivered vision: Southwestern Alberta, mirroring a brand of natural appeal as compelling as Wyoming’s Teton Mountains, has similar potential to realize the same high-end brand of sustained long-range economic

benefit due to its intact world-class natural surroundings. They’re the lure—the wealth of natural capital—that attracts amenity migrants seeking unparalleled “catch-and-release” experiences.

The key to a successful quality-oflife economy revolves around a need for the fields and forests to support viable populations of native plant and animal species. The land needs to resonate with a soundtrack dominated by falling water and birdsong. It needs to showcase the surrounding magic of romantic, steeped-in-history, natural vistas.

Before Alberta can begin to achieve its full potential to gain economic benefit from its lauded and loved Rocky Mountains and supporting natural attractions, the people of Alberta need to save, for perpetuity, the province’s most precious assets. These, I suggest, are the mountains that define us to the world, the headwaters that provide essential lifesustaining water, and the rivers that nourish our souls.

VIVIAN IRENE STRANDQUIST (Née: Johnson) March 19, 1938 ~ August 30, 2021 It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Vivian Strandquist at her home, just as she wished, on August 30, 2021. She lived 83 years of a fulfilling life.

Vivian was born on March 19, 1938 in High River, AB to parents, Clair and Mildred Johnson. During high school, she was active in a variety of sports, especially high jump, and was involved in theatre. She graduated from South Turner Valley High School, then went on to nursing school in High River, AB where she completed her training as a nurses aide. Vivian loved to dance. It was at a summer dance in Longview, AB where she met the love of her life, Elmer Strandquist, and the happy couple married on December 8, 1956. They went on to be further blessed with six wonderful sons. They lived in Longview, AB, then relocated to the Crowsnest Pass in 1970. Vivian and Elmer soon became integral members of their new community. Vivian volunteered as a coach for the Pass Swim Club even though she didn’t know how to swim.

She swam her first length in 1977 and received a trophy for Worlds’ Longest Length. Their dedication to the Crowsnest Pass was also evident in their proud support of the Crowsnest Pass Health Foundation, the Jim Strandquist Memorial, the Strandquist Family Trust and many other local charities such as Meals on Wheels. Upon retiring in 2000, Vivian and Elmer enjoyed spending the winter months in Hemet, CA. Vivian was very proud of her large family and very passionate about her community. She was well-known for her dedication to the Progressive Conservative party and politics.

When she wasn’t busy working or taking care of her family, Vivian enjoyed golf, curling, the Edmonton Oilers, the “Young and the Restless”, and all sports on TV. Vivian loved yellow roses, having a glass of milk with a Dads oatmeal cookie, visitors and chats on the phone. Her coffee table was always adorned with a jar of jelly beans and dishes of nuts and chocolates.

Vivian was a strong-willed woman who was definitely the cornerstone of her family. She treated every child, grandchild and great grandchild as her favorite, and her family always came first. Vivian spent her last days smiling, laughing and surrounded by her family. May countless wonderful memories bring comfort to all those who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life are her sons, Ronald “Dude” (Jodie) Strandquist of Longview, AB, Glenn (Laura) Strandquist of Coleman, AB and Kent (Shanda) Strandquist of Hillcrest, AB; her special daughters Carol (Fred) and Patsy (Jim); her grandchildren, Sheri, Mike, Jenna, Teyel (Sean), Robert (Dee-Anna), Hayley (Darren), Bailey (Eldon), Cory (Veronica), Kirby, Nicole, Jared (Paige), Adam (Andrea), Jeff (Kayla), Rick (Amanda), Megan (Joel), Lanny (Sidney), Braydon (Taylor), Cody (Tiffany) and Londyn; her great grandchildren, Tyler, Emmett, Cailley, Hunter, Rylee, Audrina, Milo, Ridge, Callie, Bennett, Haxstyn, Ellie, Jeter, Avery, Burke, Addison, Brinley, Lacey, Jackson, AJ, Malachi, Abby, Harlyn, Nash, Mackenzie, Nataya, Adyn, Micky; her brothers, Harold (Eleanor) and Bill (Gayle); as well as her extended family and many friends.

She was predeceased by her husband Elmer, her parents Clair and Mildred Johnson; her sons James, Dale, and Barry; her great grandson Krue; her brother Alan; and her sister Carolyn.

A private Graveside Service will be held. A Gathering of Family and Friends will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19, Bellevue (2401, 213 St., Bellevue, AB) on Saturday, October 9, 2021 from 3:00pm until 6:00pm.

Taxpayer Association

The Ratepayers group held a meeting to discuss the future of the group and how they would like to approach Council in the future. Part of the main discussions during the meeting included a name change from The Ratepayers group to the Taxpayers Association.

Over the course of the last few months the Taxpayers Association has met on several occasions to discuss issues and concerns expressed by others to the group, as well as by members of the group. Members of the group hope to attend the forum for candidates of the upcoming municipal election to address these concerns. The Taxpayers Association mandate is to be approachable, considerate and respectful of candidates with the hope of receiving the same from them. The Association believes municipal government has a responsibility to hear the concerns that have been expressed and an accountability to respond. The Association also plans to meet on a regular basis and stay on top of issues affecting the community positively and otherwise. The Taxpayers Association says that the new Council can expect to hear concerns from them in the future.

Champissage/Indian head massage LiSa Sygutek Pass Herald

You may not have heard about an Indian Massage (Champissage) before, but I’ll tell you after having one with Jacqueline From Aromatherapy, I suggest you get one.

I have a busy life with three kids, a full-time business and council, add into that my addiction to running and hiking and it’s a tough combination on both my mind and my body. I love massages, but not ones that make me sore; I love relaxation ones that give me an hour to just be in the moment. I rarely live in the moment always thinking of the things that I must get done in a day.

I’ve known Jacqueline for quite some time, she’s been an excellent client for the Pass Herald, one of those advertisers that is consistent and reliable. When she told me she had just completed a course to become a registered therapist I asked if I could be one of her first clients.

The day arrived and I was ready, not only was I

going to get an Indian Head Massage but also Ayurvedic Foot Massage.

Oh, my lord was it amazing.

This is the background of the treatment.

If you’re into the world of wellness, then there’s a chance you know the following word: Champissage. Champissage, also known as shiroabhyanga or an Indian head massage, is a wonderful practice that traces its roots in, you guessed it, India.

During its conception in India, Champissage/Indian head massages were derived from old Ayurvedic techniques. They started off as a way for families to groom one another. Long, silky locks are a prized asset and a standard of beauty in India, so Indian mothers often massage a spectrum of oils into their daughters’ hair to promote growth. In doing so, they also massaged their daughters’ faces, necks, and shoulders.

It was made into a bonafide form of therapy by a blind man named Narendra Metha. Narendra was raised in a com-

munity in India that placed a lot of importance on Champissage. He took that valued practice and formalized it into the people Champissage know and love today.

It’s been practiced there for over four thousand years- and it’s still going strong! There are plenty of reasons why that is. For one, it homes in on parts of the body that deal with a lot of stress and tension every day: the face, ears, scalp, neck, arms, shoulders, and upper back. What’s more, it’s a holistic form of therapy that does a lot of good not only for your physicality but also for your mind and spirit.

Champissage/Indian head massages are known to leave patients completely relaxed during and after the session. People have reported finding an inner calm and much less stress and emotional tension after these Champissage sessions.

They achieve better, more restful sleep, reduced insomnia, sharply lessened back or neck pain, and fewer migraines, headaches, and cases of

tinnitis and vertigo. And yes, Champissage also promotes hair growth, just like one of its intended effects in India!

But what exactly happened to me when I went for one?

Champissage/Indian head massages are practiced using a time-tested combination of different massage strokes and stimulating acupressure points and the three upper chakras of your body. Jacqueline started with my neck and shoulders probing and massaging to work all the knots out. Next, my scalp was then gently and thoroughly massaged with a variety of motions.

Part of the reason Champissage/Indian head massages are so effective is because the practice stimulates your lymph nodes. In doing so, it essentially detoxifies your body by draining out waste products that accumulate in said lymphatic parts. Furthermore, it improves the flow of blood to and from the neck.

Champissage/Indian head massages are also a wonderful way to relieve sinus pressure! Since your practitioner focuses on the face as well, they gently probe and prod at different facial pressure points that make breathing so much easier. It also

stimulates circulation, sharpens your mental clarity, and boosts your alertness! No caffeine involved!

I can’t describe the experience other then complete relaxation with a sense of fluidity. It honestly felt like the stress was draining out of my body and I do wonder if it was perhaps the lymph glands draining. All I do know if that after the head massage I felt a sense of relaxation I have not experience in a traditional massage. I felt a bit like gumby.

Next on the list as an Indian Foot Massage Treatment. By this time after the head massage, I was ready to lie down for the foot massage. I was honestly in a state of complete relaxation by the this treatment time started.

Indian Foot Massage has been practiced in India for centuries, borrowing the tried and trusted Ayurvedic tradition. At the heart of the treatment is a small copper bowl which helps to rebalances the tridosha of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

I’m hard on my feet. I run and hike a lot. Often after a long hike I can barely walk for a few days. I found this massage a bit of a life saver. It is deeply revitalizing for my tired feet and legs. Be-

cause I have had foot issues after a long hike or run I’ve been researching feet soreness and this is what I learned. The feet contain key energy and nerve endings relating to all organs of the body, when massaging the feet it helps re-balance the entire body. Because this treatment involves vigorously rubbing the soles of the feet with the bowl to draw out heat and toxins, it thereby inducing relaxation. The treatment begins with some relaxing foot and leg moves.

Slowly and methodically the toes, feet, ankles, and calves are helped to relax.

It continues with special moves performed with the copper bowl.

The benefits of an Indian Foot Massage include improved circulation and joint mobility, reduction of stress, anxiety and depression, improved sleep, and overall detoxification.

I have to say that this was one of the best experiences regarding masI have ever sage experienced. It was relaxing, felt detoxifying and my poor feet felt like new.

Jacqueline works out of her home, which by the way, is beautiful and I suggest you try out this time-honored treatment.

You can contact Jaqueline at 403-583-5003 to book you day of relaxation and revitalization.
