Car dealer gets green light By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Bridge City Chrysler – now known as Davis Dodge – passed the first hurdle allowing them to sell cars temporarily in the parking lot of the Crowsnest Mall in Blairmore. On July 22, council passed first reading of a bylaw to amend the land use bylaw to allow au-tomative sales as a discretionary use in the C-3 district. The C-3 zone (comprehensive commercial) is unique to the Crowsnest Pass and to the Crows-nest Mall in Blairmore. At an earlier meeting, Development Officer Ken

Bourdeau told council that Bridge City Chrys-ler, who occasionally used the mall parking lot to sell vehicles, requested the land use bylaw be amended so he could continue the practice. He said this use contravenes the municipal land use bylaw and the business license bylaw. Both the Municipal Planning Commission and administration recommended that the C-3 dis-trict zoning not be altered and that the applicant be provided with other suitably zoned locations. Alternatives were discussed and administration was asked to come back to council with other options but they stuck to their original recom-mendation. On July 22, Director of Planning, Engineer-

ing & Operations, Patrick Thomas, told council he had received a call from Westcastle Motors who informed administration that he felt council should not change the land use bylaw to accom-modate a single business use and that if they do, it sends a message to businesses that they don’t have to follow the rules. Further, Thomas said, it was communicated that if the change were allowed, Westcastle would likely relocate their business from the Crowsnest Pass. An audience member pointed out that it was an unusual practice to allow an opinion at a bylaw reading.

“We have heard a delegation together with presentation of first reading of a bylaw,” said John Pundyk. “So what’s just been said, should’ve waited for [public hearing] where there would have been delegations pro and against and that was the proper place to bring that forward.” “Auto sales happen in malls all over the place,” said coun-cillor Bill Kovach. “Park Place has auto sales right inside their mall and they have several different dealerships come

in and sell the cars within the mall in Lethbridge. “I think we should go ahead with first reading and then hear the pros and cons from people on this and then make our decision.”

Councillor Kovach also asked that the definition of auto sales and service in the bylaw be changed to separate the two ac-tivities. First reading to amend the land use bylaw was approved. A public hearing will be held on Aug. 12 before the sec-ond and final reading is held.

Automotive sales moves closer to approval at mall

“If a busi-ness is go-ing to be afraid of competi-tion, they’re not very solid in the first place.”

Bob Morrow, Da-vis Dodge

First reading passed for automotive sales as a discretionary use at the Crowsnest Mall in Blairmore.

911 call centres get boost in funding from cellphone levy Press Release

911 emergency call centres across the province will soon start receiving funds collected through a cellphone levy im-plemented earlier this year. The initial payments, totaling more than $2 mil-lion, will be put towards managing in-creased call volumes and upgrading re-sources and technology. “911 is one of the most vital public safety services – one that Albertans rely

on in some of their most critical times of need. This funding will go a long way to help cover the costs of sustaining our call centres, so we can remain focused on helping Albertans,” said Greg Weadick, Minister of Municipal Affairs. The 44-cent monthly levy on cell-phones was implemented April 1. Pre-viously, only landline users contributed directly to the cost of 911 services. As the use of landlines continues to de-cline, and more Albertans rely on their

cellphones, this funding provides 911 centres with the much-needed revenue to keep up with demand. Alberta’s 911 call centres can use the funding from the levy towards:• updating hardware, such as computers and phones; • updating software; • paying for staffing and training costs; and • implementing “next generation” tech-nology, like text and video messaging.

Medical transportation system pitched to Pass

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

The Claresholm and District Transporta-tion Society (CDTS) are seeking partners in its role as a transporta-tion system for seniors, people with disabilities and others who need assistance getting to medical appointments. Lyal O’Neill, the CDTS Chief Admin-istrative Officer, said the non-profit Society serves a need in the community that would also be beneficial to Crowsnest Pass resi-dents. At the July 22 meet-ing, O’Neill presented an overview of CDTS and asked council to consider partnering in a regional system. CDTS was estab-lished in 2002 and currently provides handi-bus needs to Claresholm and five towns within the M.D. of Willow Creek. The service is not limited to seniors or those without mobil-ity and is available to those who need help getting to hospitals or medical appointments who are unable to use public transportation, said O’Neill. The maximum level of care is wheelchair accessible vans with a minimum of an EMR staff and using off-shift EMT’s. One-third of the trips made are within the Town of Claresholm,

while 28 per cent are to Calgary and 29 per cent to Lethbridge, he added. “It would seem to benefit all of the com-munities to expand existing resources into an Alberta southwest transportation ser-vice,” O’Neill said. “This would allow us added support through grants available to communities forming partnerships… “Here in the Crows-nest Pass, approxi-mately 38 per cent of your population is over 60 and continues to grow over the next 10 years.” Transporting resi-dents must be subsi-dized to be effective, he said, but costs are par-tially recouped from inter-facility transfers. About 25 per cent of CDTS services are inter-facility transfers to Lethbridge and Cal-gary. Alberta Health Services is billed di-rectly at cost plus for these transfers at a fraction of the cost of an ambulance transfer, said O’Neill. “In addition to be-ing more economical, we offer clients a per-sonal and comfort-able experience,” he said. “These transfers help take some pres-sure off of your lo-cal AHS units leaving them more available to respond to emergency events.” Part of CDTS rev-enue comes from user

fees of $0.50/km/trip to a minimum of $18, which covers the cost of the driver and fuel. A subsidized rate is provided for people on AISH, CPP Disability and Alberta Senior’s Benefits. Municipal grants are also available to offset administration costs at $2.70 per capita, said O’Neill. Currently there is only one ad-ministrative person running the office, tak-ing calls, and schedul-ing buses. Drivers are

paid employees of the Society, he added. “The concept is to ex-pand this service from Claresholm into an Alberta southwest, so with that there would be additional staff re-quired,” he said. Two years ago, the Board made a motion that they have to be self-sustainable and they are well support-ed within Claresholm. Most of the money received from commu-nity organizations is used to maintain bus-

es. On July 8, a presen-tation was made to the M.D. of Pincher Creek who were very inter-ested in the concept of expanding the system to Alberta southwest, said O’Neill. Other nearby communi-ties will also be ap-proached, he said. The idea would be to have a minimum of one van in each participating commu-nity utilizing off-shift EMR’s and EMT’s as drivers.

Claresholm & District Transportation Society are seeking partners across southwest Alberta to provide non-emergency medical transportation for those unable to use public transportation.

This past Monday marked the 100th anniver-sary of Britain’s – and therefore, Canada’s – dec-laration of war on Germany. Five weeks after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, the world was plunged into one of the bloodiest wars in all of human history. The statistics are staggering – 16.5 million dead, both military and civilian, and another 20 mil-lion wounded, many of them with partial or full amputation, many more blinded or succumbing to fatal lung disease from chlorine, phosgene or mustard gases. A war that was expected to be over by Christ-mas lasted more than four years, dramatically changing the map of Europe and laying the groundwork for more horror a mere 21 years later. This year we also mark the 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War – six years that brought untold tragedy and suffering to people in every corner of the globe. With fewer and fewer veterans alive, much is being made of how difficult it is to appreciate the true impact of those wars. The carnage and the toll on those left behind seem like ancient his-tory. But if anything, it’s more important than ever to remember those who fought and the seeming-ly senseless start to so much suffering. It’s easy today to be pessimistic when armed conflict abounds around the world. We need to be reminded – again and again it seems – that a single tragedy can precipitate an inexorable chain of events and that we should take every measure available to prevent them. If we’ve learned any lessons from the past 100 years, it is that peacemaking should be our first and only viable option.

Municipal briefs By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Agriculture Services An application has been submit-ted to the province for an Ag Services Board grant program in the amount of $133,135 for 2014. The grant application falls within budget guidelines and was approved by council on July 22. Councillor Bill Kovach questioned whether the Crowsnest Pass can apply for more funding since the Minister said a maximum of $354,000 can be granted. “We’re an entry point into the prov-ince and we have so much problem with weeds coming from the west from the neighbouring province,” said Councillor Kovach. Chief Administrative Officer Sheldon Steinke said the municipality had been identified by the province as new to the program and that this was the maximum amount they could justify to the Minis-ter. “He’s approved it for three years and there’s no increases,” said Councillor Ko-vach.

Sentinel Bridge Council approved $70,000 plus GST for an engineering redesign of the Senti-nel bridge replacement. Alberta Transportation first gave ap-proval to begin designing a new two-lane bridge to service the north side of Crows-nest River in 2009. Stantec’s estimate at that time was $104,750 and the province would cover $100,000 for engineering de-sign costs. In 2013, the total cost of the project was $1.2 million funded through a provincial

grant. However, in 2013, the entire proj-ect was put in jeopardy after the prov-ince proposed turning over construction, maintenance and inspection of bridges over to local municipalities. Earlier this year, the province gave the program the go-ahead and has the mon-ey available, said Steinke. He said it’s expected the project will go to tender in the fall and Alberta Trans-portation will then forward the $1.2M to the municipality for construction next spring.

Light duty trucks Two municipal trucks will be replaced for a total of $69,605 including GST. Cochrane Dodge submitted the lowest bid and will provide two 2015 Dodge Ram regular cab, extended box, ¾ ton light trucks in late September. A total of $68,000 had been allocated in the 2014 capital budget.

Wheel loaders It was identified in the 2014 budget to replace two existing loaders due to age and conditions but it was later decided to spread the purchase over two years. Council approved advancing $40,000 from reserves in order to get one in late September and one in late February. Finning Canada submitted the lowest bid for two 2014 Cat 930K loaders. One loader has been sold and two oth-ers will go to auction next year.

Aggregates Another $65,000 was approved that was not in the 2014 budget for salt, win-ter sand, crushed gravel, and sand/salt mixing. The municipality is very short on ag-

gregates after last winter’s heavy snow, council heard, and they are looking at getting the same amount as before. Without this material, there will be a significant decrease in service throughout the winter, as the entire sanding program would have to be halted, said Director of Planning, Engineering & Operations, Patrick Thomas. Council reluctantly approved the re-quest.

Asphalt repair A further $150,000 was approved, also not budgeted, for asphalt patching as a result of development, water main breaks, and general operational services. If council declined the request for ap-proval, said Thomas, there will be nu-merous gravel patches and some failing asphalt areas throughout the community with possibly, greater costs to fix in the future.

Roof assessment Council approved $8,050 not including GST for an assessment on portion of the MDM roof and change room roof at the Crowsnest Sportxplex from McElhan-ney Consulting Services. This item was included in the 2014 capi-tal budget. There is $260,000 budgeted for MDM and $20,000 budgeted for the Sportsplex change rooms, said Thomas, and the ten-der would likely be combined for cost saving efficiencies. The consulting work is necessary, said Thomas, so a fixed cost is known up front for the construction work. He also told council the municipality needs an engineering stamp on the drawings that the municipality is unable to provide.

Coordinator proposed for Thunder in the Valley By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A proposal has been made to coordi-nate the return of Thunder in the Valley to Crowsnest Pass. Lisa Lockhart of Dream Team Consult-ing wrote to council asking them to con-sider hiring a local contractor to work with business, the municipality and non-profit groups. She believes the event “holds much potential for our community, our local busi-nesses and tourism operators”. “I feel that since it has been absent and much change has happened structurally within the community, that it has the op-portunity to be redesigned and revived to become once again an annual event that has a family oriented focus,” she wrote. “If given the proper attention to planning and coordination, the opportunity lies to create a 3 day event that would include live enter-tainment and many other events that clubs and organization stand to benefit.” The letter proposes an event coordinator be hired on a part-time basis over the next year to be a main contact for the event, liai-son with local clubs and businesses, manage public relations and marketing, and secure grants and sponsorships. “There is no reason why this event cannot be profitable and sustainable if marketed and coordinated properly,” Lockhart wrote. “An event of this magnitude requires tre-mendous resources and planning and in my opinion, now is the time to get things un-derway in order to host the event in 2015.” On July 22, council agreed the proposal should be directed to the Crowsnest Eco-nomic Development and Tourism Advisory Committee for their review.

Doors Open & Heritgage Festival huge success By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Welcoming two new events to its roster, the Crowsnest Pass Doors Open & Heritage Festival

was an extra-long week-end’s worth of fun for residents and visitors of every age. Opening on July 30 with the Taste of Crows-nest Pass in Blairmore’s Elks Hall, the festival kicked off with a crowd eager to sample tastings from some of the area’s finest culinary experts. The next day saw tor-rential rain give way to blue skies in time for Bellevue’s 4th annual Old Fashioned Country Fair. Visitors to the fair were treated to music, food and the chance to buy from local and area vendors. The launch event on Aug. 1 featured guest speaker, Steve Hannon, author of The Devil’s Breath. A brief recep-tion followed at the Bel-levue Legion. On Aug. 2, the 10th Annual Main Street Crowsnest Show & Shine was held for the first time in downtown historic Coleman. This event was new to the Doors Open & Heritage Festival and was wildly successful with 100 reg-istered participants. Twelve trophies were awarded including:1.

The 4th Annual Duck Race took place on Sunday, Aug. 3 when 1,680 rubber ducks raced along the river. Hosted by Crowsnest Boys & Girls Club as the organization’s major fundraising event, the ducks were released into the river from the Blairmore Centre Access bridge. Each duck was linked to a raffle ticket and the first and last ducks to cross the finish line at the East Acess bridge were win-ners. According to the Boys & Girls Club, ticket sales significantly in-creased this year, with 1,100 $5 ducks and 233 $20 ducks sold. This is almost double the yellow tickets sold compared to last year. This year’s Order of the Crows-nest Pass recipient Kiana Misku-

lin, launched the race as honoura-ry duck dumper by releasing two bundles of balloons into the air over Blairmore as the 1,680 ducks were released into the Crowsnest River. The race was completed within 20 minutes with more than 30 vol-unteers lining the route and in the water to scoop up the racers. The winning ducks were:• Green Series ($20 Big Buck Ducks): First duck: $1,500 cash - Duck #28 - Jen T. Goldberg Last duck: $500 groceries - Duck #154 - Bruce Campbell• Yellow Series ($5 Ducks): First duck: $500 gas + $500 cof-fee - Duck #124 - Frank Pargeter Last duck: ipad - Duck #471 - Bill Wilmot (Finley)

Ed Weymouth, longtime Bushtown resident who makes all of his own jams and jellies, was on hand at the Country Market in Flumerfelt Park on Aug. 2.

The Old-Fashioned Country Fair in Bellevue attracted dozens of vendors with a wide variety of handmade crafts, clothing, artwork and other artisan goods. Music, games and food made this event an exciting lead-in to the Doors Open & Heritage Festival weekend.

Rum Runner Days remains deferred

By Joni MacFarlane

Editor

Council voted to defer Rum Runner Days to

2015 to allow time to plan and recruit volunteers

to organize the event.

On Feb. 18, Sheldon Steinke, chief administra-

tive officer, advised council that last year’s Chair-

person was out of the country for the next four

months and it was getting late to begin planning

anything for this summer.

He recommended that deferring the event would

allow administration time to “research options,

implications and budget for a 2015 event to po-

tentially include Thunder in the Valley and Rum

Runner Days”.

There is a total of $40,000 identified in the 2014

triennial budget for the event.

“It’s almost too late in the day to start planning

a Rum Runners event… I think if we defer it for a

year, we could have better planning in place,” said

Councillor Shar Lazzarotto.

Mayor Blair Painter said he’d like to see the mu-

nicipality start to canvass for volunteers as soon

as possible. Councillor Lazzarotto disagreed. She said she

believes it will be difficult to get volunteers over

the next few months because of the upcoming

events that rely on volunteers such as the Bunny

Bonspiel, the Chamber of Commerce Lifestyle &

Outdoor Adventure Show, Kananaskis Pro Ro-

deo, and the Hillcrest Mine Disaster 100th An-

niversary. “You’re going to have volunteer burnout,” she

said. Councillor Marlene Anctil also pointed out that

with the Crowsnest Pass Show & Shine moving to

another weekend and the Taste of Crowsnest not

happening, “it doesn’t leave much in between”.

It was agreed to defer Rum Runner Days and

start working towards 2015 by advertising for vol-

unteers at the end of July.

East end sign stays in place

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A plan to remove an old Welcome sign along High-way 3 located at the east end of the municipality was squashed after the Crowsnest Pass Ratepayers’ Association stepped up to look after it. With the installation of new signs at both ends of the community, the intent was to remove the old ones. The sign at the west end of the munic-

ipality was removed and the municipality had begun re-moval of the east one as well. Crews found the entire tim-ber structure of the west end sign had rotted. “Given the condition of the old west sign upon demoli-tion, it is likely to find a simi-lar condition with the east sign,’ said Patrick Thomas, director of planning, engi-neering and operations. Thomas said the plaques had been removed, the light-

ing disconnected, and the brick fas-cia was falling off. All of the land-scape blocks and some shrubs have been stolen. The municipal-ity anticipated the structure would fall apart upon demolition but planned to give the plaques to the Bellevue Un-derground Mine or the Crowsnest Museum as well as the coal cart and tracks. “It should be noted that since these signs are often the focus of tourist pic-tures and thus have people on or

near them, the municipality is fully liable if something happens as a result of being structurally compromised from rot and not acting to rectify the situation,” said Thomas. “This also sends a mixed message by having two welcome signs entering into the community.” Councillor Marlene Anc-til said the signs are a tour-ist attraction and suggested the signs be turned over to

the Ratepayers for repair and maintenance. “I agree,” said Councillor Bill Kovach. “These were the first signs that were built af-ter amalgamation so I think there’s quite a bit of heritage value in the signs... there’s people stopping to take pic-tures of the sign.” Councillor Anctil moved to leave the sign at its location and turn it over to the Rate-payers. Joe Fortunato spoke on be-half of the Ratepayers and said they will take on all the repairs and maintenance at no expense to the taxpayer. “The disrepair of it is blamed on the municipal-ity,” said Fortunato. “That is showing our heritage. I know that you people coming into the Pass, they don’t care about who built this Crows-nest Pass. They come in here and they decide, well this is such a nice place. But now they want to change it.” Mayor Blair Painter asked how long the Ratepayers would continue to care for it. “For as long as we’re alive,” said Fortunato. Council approved leaving the sign at its location and turning it over to the Rate-payers for repair and mainte-nance at no cost to the mu-nicipality.

Council agrred the Welcome sign to the Municipality will be repaired and maintained by the Crowsnest Pass Ratepayers’ Association.

Crossword

Answer

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Passtrak athletes compete at Alberta Summer Games By Ritch Braun Submitted

Two Passtrak athletes attended and performed well at the 2014 Alberta Summer Games which took place in Airdrie on July 24 to 27. Alisi Ratudradra and Maia Jor-gensen were selected to the Zone 1 team in the Midget girl’s category. The girls each competed in four indi-vidual events as well as two relays. Alisi spanned 3.76 metres in the long jump for a 13th place fin-ish. She placed seventh in the 200m hurdles in 31.70 seconds which set a new Passtrak club record. She then moved up to sixth place in the 200 metre sprint in a time of 27.62 seconds. Her final individual event was the 300 metre sprint where she stopped the clock at 45.03 seconds for fifth place. Maia also ran the 200 metre sprint where she placed 12th in 28.63 sec-onds. She then ran the 100 metres

where she had another 12th place re-sult in 13.67 seconds. Next came the 300 metres where she moved up to ninth place in 47.39 seconds. Finally she completed her 80 metre hurdles race in 13.36 seconds which was a life time best for her and earned her a fifth place finish. Both girls ran on the 4 x 100 metre relay team which finished in fourth place overall. They also ran in the medley relay with Alisi running the 400m leg and Maia running the 200m portion. Their team earned them-selves third place and a bronze medal for their efforts. This concludes the 2014 outdoor season for Passtrak. The club will be starting up again during the third week of September. Watch for posters in your com-munity, your schools and your local newspapers for information for the 2014 Fall start date. You can also go on line and check out the club at their website, www.passtrak.ca.

Over 60 bags of invasive and noxious weeds were filled on July 26. The Nature Conservancy of Canada in partnership with the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass and the Crowsnest Conservation Society, hosted a weed pull on municipal and private land owned by NCC. Twenty-two volunteers from across southern Alberta joined in the effort.


Groups join forces in battle against weeds Three local groups converged in the Crowsnest Pass to join together in the fight against noxious invasive species such as blueweed, hounds-tongue, common mullein and oxeye daisy. Invasive species, (aka weeds) are a growing problem for the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Mu-nicipality of Crowsnest Pass and the Crowsnest Conservation Society. “When it comes to the battle against invasive species, the Crowsnest Pass is right on the front lines. The inva-sive seeds are transported down local roadways, railways and waterways. Early detection and rapid response is key in getting ahead of them and protecting iconic natural habitats.” This is why the three groups decided to it was time to take action into their own hands. On July 26, 22 volunteers including representatives from the three groups worked hard to evict the weeds that had definitely outgrown their welcome. Ashley Hynes, Weed Inspector with the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass, explained some of the things volun-teers learned. “Repetition is key with weeds. Wherever you can, you want to get to these plants before their root systems can establish and they disperse their

seeds. Hand-pulling is a great way to prevent their spread, but timing is everything and you want to get as much of the root system as you can,” she said. The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass organized the morning efforts to get rid of weeds along Nez Perce Creek and the Crowsnest River in Coleman. Over the course of the morning the group had a huge positive impact, re-moving 48 large bags of invasive spe-cies from the site. Pulling weeds on public land will help to beautify these green spaces, and it will also help to reduce the spread of weeds onto pri-vate land. After lunch, the group travelled to private conservation lands owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada near Leitch Collieries Historical Site where they removed another 15 bags of weeds - bringing the grand total up to 61 bags for the day. Each of the three groups (Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Mu-nicipality of Crowsnest Pass and the Crowsnest Pass Conservation Soci-ety) will hold be offering community members the opportunity to help out by holding more weed pull events throughout the summer.
