Fire/rescue chief changes hands By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Management of the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue department is changing hands after Steve Mun-shaw, Manager of Protective Services and Fire Chief, handed in his resignation letter last week. Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Wilkinson has ac-cepted the position and will be filling the top spot effective July 11. Munshaw, who has been with the department for almost two years, said the decision was made in order to spend more time with his family. “It’s a great opportunity for my family and my-

self to be able to spend more time together,” said Munshaw. “Crowsnest Pass has been a wonderful location, it’s a beautiful location to live in, we love the mountains, but with this new job, I’m able to have more family time and enjoy [my kids] grow-ing up.” Munshaw, who was born and raised in Kimber-ley, B.C., started his 20-year fire service career in his hometown. He joined the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue de-partment in September 2012 during a turbulent period that oversaw a reorganization of the entire department. Munshaw will be taking over as Fire Chief in

Taber managing a department of 24 volunteer fire fighters, a full-time Deputy Chief and a part-time administrative person. He said there will be a strong emphasis on train-ing and as part of that, Taber will be building a new training centre for fire fighters throughout the region. Wilkinson, who joined the department on a contract basis in December 2012, said he’s look-ing forward to the challenges of the position and has the full support of the fire fighters. The Deputy Fire Chief position currently runs to year end and as at press time, had not yet been filled.

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.

Police on side with Thunder By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A presentation by RCMP on Alber-ta’s policing responsibilities led to a brief discussion on the desire to bring Thunder in the Valley back to Crows-nest Pass. Inspector Glenn de Goeij of the Op-erations Strategy Branch, K Division, and Executive Director Gloria Ohrt, Law Enforcement & Oversight Branch of Alberta Justice & Solicitor General appeared before council on June 24 to outline the province’s responsibilities and how policing is paid for. In Alberta, the province provides policing at no direct cost to towns under 5,000 people or all rural com-munities regardless of population, said Ohrt. Once a community exceeds that number, they become responsible for policing and the province provides funding assistance. “In Crowsnest Pass, because of your special regulation, it only comes into effect if any one of your communities, probably Blairmore, eventually goes over 5,000,” said Ohrt. If a community such as Blairmore exceeded 5,000 people, the municipal-ity would be responsible not just for the direct costs of policing, but also for indirect costs as well such as a facility and support staff, added de Doeij. In 2014-15 there will be almost 1,600 provincial RCMP members, includ-ing 40 new members, with a budget

of just under $.25 billion. This does not include enhanced policing which a community can get on a full-time or part-time basis, said Ohrt. Currently, 43 towns and cities in Alberta have an RCMP Municipal Police Service with a cost sharing ar-rangement between the province (70 per cent) and the federal government (30 per cent). “It’s a cost share not a subsidy, be-cause we gain, and the federal govern-ment gains, benefits from the arrange-ment,” Ohrt said. “On the enhanced policing program, we offer you the 70 per cent share so you’re not paying the full up cost of an RCMP member and all of the direct and indirect costs as well.” She added that there have been ongoing discussions in Alberta on who should pay for po-licing and to what degree. “The one outstanding item that we have not been able to resolve has been the funding model… should rurals

pay and if so, how much should they pay,” she asked. “This is still alive and well in the minds of the Ministry and certainly is awaiting further direction from the government.”

de Goeij added that Alberta is the only jurisdiction in Canada with-out some type of levy. He said it’s not a matter of if, but of when, changes to fund-ing will be made. In Crows-nest Pass there are nine RCMP members includ-ing a Sergeant, a Corporeal and seven Con-stables. Over the past eight years, he said, crimi-nal code offences have decreased 15 per cent. The top calls for service and the top work-load files are for traffic violations

and collisions. “This is a healthy picture compared to many communities in the province of Alberta,” said de Goeij. Although the population and crime levels have decreased, policing levels

are not based solely on that, said de Goeij. Other factors considered are work-load of the detachment, the types of complaints that come in, geography of the jurisdiction and specialized ser-vices in the area such as bylaw officers, community peace officers and sheriffs. “So it’s really finding what’s the best fit for a community… what’s the right balance,” asked de Goeij. “It’s not strictly driven on population.” Lastly, de Goeij said he was famil-iar with the Thunder in the Valley and believes the RCMP can work with the municipality and its partners to suc-cessfully see its return. “But much like other events in the province, there comes a time where there has to be some very robust dis-cussions about the need to supple-ment the existing cost of policing and resources,” he said. “It’s a small com-munity hosting a very big event and kudos to the community for the suc-cess that it’s had.” Councillor Bill Kovach thanked de Goeij for those comments and said he’d like to see them discuss the event in the future but in a different loca-tion. “If we get the parties together, we’ll gladly come back as soon as possible if that’s what you desire,” said de Goeij.

“From our per-spective, I don’t want anybody thinking that the RCMP are against Thunder in the Valley. We are not.”

Blairmore-Frank propertiesnarrowed down for heritage inventory

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A second open house was held June 26 on the Heri-tage Inventory Project for Blairmore and Frank.

In April, the first open house showcased 65 po-tential historic sites for consideration. The public was asked to provide input including historical infor-mation, family connections

and memories, as well as preferences for the sites. A total of 41 sites were surveyed by mid-May and the Municipal Historic Re-source Board (MHRB) and consultants Community

Design Strategies evalu-ated the information and narrowed the list down to 35 including 20 residential properties and 15 commer-cial. The purpose of the second open house was to give the public an opportunity to: • provide historical details and context as to why cer-tain buildings are histori-cally significant to the com-munity, • review and provide fur-ther feedback on the infor-mation gathered so far, • review and provide feed-back on the draft statements of significance that would be required if a property owner chooses to designate their property as a Munici-pal Historic Resource. Over 100 potential sites were initially identified by MHRB and the consultants. A third open house is sched-uled for early September to present the final results to the public. Last summer, Phase I of the Crowsnest Pass Heri-tage Inventory was com-pleted after 31 sites from Coleman west to the border were extensively researched. Provincial grants have allowed the project to ex-pand and the focus is now on properties in Blairmore and Frank. The three-phase project is expected to cover all five historic communi-ties of the Crowsnest Pass.

Two days ago, we celebrated the 147th birthday of our country. Canadians are distinctly different from their neighbours and although many of the stereo-types of politeness and maple syrup are a bit old, I thought it would be interesting to see what Canada means to those who live here. Following are some thoughts, words, descriptions and options they have about Canada. It is home. Not just Montreal where I was born but the entire country which I have travelled extensively. The fact that most Canadians are peace-ful people (our present leader being an ex-ception. (He is really an alien from Uranus.) We are very tolerant. (Which explains why we have allowed an alien from Uranus to stay here.) Our freedoms - Anyone who has lived in an emerg-ing or third world country as I have really appreci-ates the freedoms this country has. Canada is one of the safest places in the world. Not as safe as it used to be, I will grant you, but I have never had anyone pull a gun out of their boots here like it was the norm. The closes I’ve been to a gun was my Father’s shot gun that we used to scare off the crows and grackles that would otherwise clean out the oat fields if we didn’t. This is a beautiful country. Oceans, lakes, moun-tains, prairies and everything in between. Our health system - it has seen me through two go rounds with cancer and is helping me deal with MS. No it is not free - I paid taxes for over 40 years and the corporations I worked for pay taxes and some of both types of tax goes into paying for it but I have not been left to deal with any of the costs out of pocket except the medications I buy at the phar-macy. (So far that has not exceeded one pill a day!) For a small population, I think Canadians have contributed largely to the scientific and technologi-cal arenas among others and I am mighty proud of the Canadians who have made these contributions. We have the best hockey and the best beer in the world! Okanagan and Niagara grow the best peaches. B.C. has the best salmon; Nova Scotia has the best lobster. Quebec has the best MacIntosh Apples, the best poutine and the best Maple syrup. Alberta has the best beef and the Prairies grow the best wheat and flax.

Happy 147th Canada - you never looked better! JLM

What does Canada mean to you?

Board dives back in By Joni MacFarlane Editor

The swimming pool society is back in business.On June 24, council approved a new operating agreement that outlines the roles and respon-sibilities of the society and sets out conditions imposed by the municipality.The Crowsnest Pass Commu-nity Pool Society was histori-cally involved in the operation of the pool but in the spring of 2013, the former council decided they would no longer handle operations and their responsibilities were handed over to municipal administra-tion.

The Society argued that their role was misunderstood and earlier this year, members ex-pressed the importance of their continued involvement.“We provide continuity in the operation of the pool,” said Chairperson Leone Stacheruk. “We believe the operation of the swimming pool would be more efficient and effective if this board remained in place. It clearly delegates the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders and historically has proven to be effective for the pool and the community.”Council listened and agreed.Director of Community Ser-vices Lyle Hannan said the new operating agreement was

prepared in consultation with the Society and includes two representatives from council.Appointed to the Pool Society were Stacheruk, Leslie Mar-getak, Sherri Gleave, Pauline Beech and Judy Sciarra. Coun-cillors Marlene Anctil and Dave Filipuzzi were appointed as council representatives.Stacheruk thanked Hannan for all his help in drafting the agreement and the council for their support.“As a council, we really value our volunteers,” said Mayor Blair Painter. “We know how many hours you guys put in and your commitment to our community. We just can’t thank you enough.”

Isabelle Sellon School students and staff celebrated the end of the 2013-14 school year play-ing a variety of sports and fun outdoor activities at Field Day on June 25.

Sinister 7 Ultracelebrates seven years

It might be the seventh year for the Sinister 7 Ultra, but a change to the course makes it the first year that the event will be recognized as an official 100 mile race. The trail ultra marathon will take place in Crowsnest Pass on July 5 to 6. “We’ve seen a very positive reac-tion to increasing the length of the course,” says race co-organizer Bri-an Gallant, noting that the course was previously 148km. “By adding 13 kilometers to the course, we’ve made it much more attractive for solo athletes who are keen to check the elusive 100 miler off their list… although they may regret wishing for those extra kilo-meters towards the end of the race!” Former second place solo win-ner Joe Huising of Edmonton is pleased with the change. “People have a better understand-ing of what you’ve been through when you tell them you’ve run 100 miles. I think the new distance will attract more American runners as well.” Approximately 1,500 athletes will be taking on the challenging wil-derness race and organizers have increased the time limit from 27 hours to 30 hours, to account for the added distance.

“The terrain, the elements and the nearly 6,000 meters of elevation gain all take a toll on the runners,” says race co-organizer and course designer Andrew Fairhurst, add-ing that typically only 30 per cent of solo athletes successfully fin-ish the course in the allotted time, although that doesn’t stop racers from signing up for the challenge. “Being known as one of the more difficult races out there heightens the appeal,” he said. As race day draws near, Andrew and Brian will be keeping busy preparing for all of the last minute details – including trail clearing, flagging the course, communicating updates to racers and volunteers, and monitoring weather conditions. “It’s a busy time,” says Andrew “but an exciting one. We love intro-ducing runners to new terrain and showing off our community.” The race will begin at 7 a.m. on July 5th on Main Street Blairmore and will finish on July 6th at 1 p.m. at the Coleman Sportsplex. Approximately 200 solo athletes will be racing and the remainder of the runners are part of relay teams. Of the 200 teams entered, eight are from the Crowsnest Pass and one local resident will be tackling the entire course solo. For more information, please see www.sinister7.com


Tenders were changed at the June 24 council meeting to allow contractors to include other flood recovery projects in their work. Chief Administrative Officer Sheldon Stein-ke said two projects were outstanding earlier this year because they wanted to start work-ing in the creeks as soon as possible. Tenders opened recently were ruled incomplete and ISL Engineering recommended G.W. Cox Construction Ltd. include it in their existing contracts. The two projects include work at East Hill-crest Drive and 63rd Street in Coleman. The work has been approved under the Di-saster Recovery Program. Steinke said a review of flood damage to backcountry roads was undertaken by Adap-tive Solutions shortly after the 2013 event, said Steinke. There was $823,000 identified for projects on Adanac and Sartoris Roads and funding is in place. Work will also include Gold Creek and McGillivrary Roads. Stantec was approved for engineering and design work. In addition, work on the Hillcrest reservoir access road was also left out of the initial flood recovery work and council approved adding it to an existing contractor’s work. Councillor Bill Kovach recommended a guardrail be installed sometime in the future because the road has become a safety hazard. All flood recovery work is covered under provincial and federal grants.

Sheldon Steinke, Chief Administrative Officer, presented a brief update to council on June 24 on some of the major issues ad-ministration is working on. First, Steinke reported he had met with public works staff to recap details from the Hillcrest 100 event. It was agreed the event was successful with no major issues result-ing from it. Stantec will be presenting a report to council on July 8 on the Disaster Recovery Program for flood damage with a public open house to follow soon afterward. The next “fish window” is Aug. 15 at which time, contractors can resume work in creek beds and streams. The street sweeping operation is still on-going after experiencing further mechani-cal failures, said Steinke. The machine was pulled from Blairmore for work in Coleman for the Canada Day celebrations. It will go back to Blairmore to finish work and then return to Coleman. Bins from the Crowsnest Pass/Pincher Creek Landfill were placed at municipal yards for three days each in Hillcrest, Blair-more and Coleman, said Steinke. The Ser-vice Plus Program was also available at the Crowsnest Sportsplex for an e-waste and toxic roundup program. Councillor Dean Ward reported close to 50 tons of material was removed from the three sites. A Local State of Emergency was declared and an Emergency Operations Centre set

up in response to a flood event. Debris had to be removed from Lyons Creek in Blair-more and blockage in culverts had to be removed near Nez Perce in Coleman, said Steinke. Equipment will be moved from the site, he said, and excess material taken from Ly-ons Creek was hauled to the former Crows-nest Centre site. Council members thanked administra-tion and municipal staff for all their work during the flood event and the Hillcrest 100 event. “I’d like you to thank all the workers be-cause I think they did a terrific job during the threat of the flood and the cooperation we saw from all the different departments was really great,” said Councillor Marlene Anctil. “I don’t know if people know, but Shel-don [Steinke] and the Mayor [Blair Painter] spent most of their time, day and night, at the Emergency [Operations] Centre with very little sleep. Thanks to both of you.” Councillor Shar Lazzarotto echoed that sentiment. “I’d like to say kudos to administration and everybody else who was involved in the flood situation. It was really encourag-ing to see everybody out there monitoring the rivers and the streams and I think the public really appreciated that. They felt a lot safer that somebody was out there look-ing at it this year,” she said. “Also the Hillcrest Mine Disaster anni-versary was a very good success and thanks to municipal staff… Everything just went perfect, so thank you very much.”

Chief Administrative Officer Sheldon Steinke has renewed his contract with the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass until March 2018.Steinke was hired for a one-year term set to expire in December 2014.He said he’s staying on throughout current council’s term to provide stability and continuity. In addition, Steinke said he looks forward to work-ing with administration’s new senior management team.Steinke comes to the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass with over 35 years’ of experience in municipal government.


CAO reports to council By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A contract with ISL Engineering was approved that will address the water and sewer main systems in the Car-bondale area of Coleman. Sheldon Steinke, chief administrative officer, said on 22nd Avenue between 63rd and 65th Streets there is a single 100mm sanitary line and a 25mm wa-ter line installed in a right of way des-ignated for utility mains. These two lines service three separate residences and there may be more in the future. Typically, mains of this size are de-signed to service one house resulting in low water pressure and volumes. It also increases the risk of sewer back-up. ISL will do a background investiga-tion, detailed design, prepare tender documents, supervise construction and prepare record drawings, said Steinke. The fee is $21,887 plus GST and is included in the 2014 budget. Due to time constraints, Steinke said, this work would not be sent out for tender. Council has the authority to make such an exception, he added. Once the design work is completed, Steinke said, they will look at funding the construction work under the pro-vincial MSI program.

Invasive species plugs lagoon By Joni MacFarlane Editor

It’s a large, bushy mass that grows below the surface and is capable of forming dense colonies covering large ar-eas in slow-moving water. It forms buds that sink to the bottom and stays there over winter and forms new plants in the spring. And it’s clog-

ging up the Hillcrest-Bellevue sewer lagoon. The municipality has dis-cussed the presence of coon-tail several times over the years and a consultant has been approved to deal with the outbreak. Chief Administrative Of-ficer Sheldon Steinke told council the invasive species was probably introduced by

way of a resi-dent’s aquar-ium that was flushed into the system. It has since spread throughout the lagoons and is causing op-erational issues with the sand

filter, par-t i c u l a r l y during the summer at the peak of the grow-ing season. “When this occurs, we are not able to pro-vide the n e c e s s a r y t reatment and are thus com-promis ing our abil-ity to meet provincial r e q u i r e -m e n t s , ” said Patrick Thomas, di-rector of planning, engi-neering and operations. ISL Engineering will evaluate the extent of the outbreak and assess the nearby watercourse. “The purpose of as-sessing the watercourse is to identify potential aquatic features that may be affected by the op-

tions considered and to visu-ally inspect the area within close proximity of the outfall for any coontail that may be outside of the lagoon,” said Thomas. ISL will also meet with pro-vincial officials from Alberta Environment & Sustainable Resource Development to discuss possible treatment options. The fee is $13,648 plus GST

and is included in the 2014 budget. Steinke said they want to address the issue as soon as possible “prior to another year of operational issues” and would like to award ISL without going out for tender. Council has the authority to make such an exception, he added. The contract for ISL was approved.

A contract has been approved to look at solutions for the invasive coontail plant causing operational issues at the Hillcrest-Bellevue sewer lagoon.

Recreation study incomplete, council says By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A recreation feasibility study pre-sented to council and the Sports & Recreation Committee has come up short on dollars and cents, said council on June 24. Michael Roma, partner with RC Strategies, told the Crowsnest Pass Free Press in February that the study would “look at the current state of recreation in the communi-ty and what kind of enhancements could be added to the current state or to the current delivery system, or what kind of future focuses there should be for infrastructure invest-ment, so the municipality has a strategic course of action... to guide [them].” The consultant looked at the mu-nicipality’s current inventory, com-pared the Crowsnest Pass to similar communities and sought public in-put by conducting surveys and in-terviewing people representing rec-reation groups in the community.

The results were presented to council and the Sports & Recre-ation Committee on June 11. “I think it’s a decent study, there’s a lot of information that came out of it... they’ve got conclusions but there’s no dollar figures attached in where we go from there,” said Councillor Dean Ward. “It says we need to do this, but it doesn’t say what it’s going to cost us.” It was noted that replacement costs for the Albert Stella Memorial Arena and the Community Swim-ming Pool were missing and should also be included in the final report. Councillor Marlene Anctil con-firmed that RC Strategies is looking for more funding to complete the study because the initial contract did not include the cost of repairs. The study was $90,000 but in order for it to include financial in-formation, about another $15,000 would be required. The issue will be brought back to council in the fall.

Bellevue UndergroundMine receives grant for portals

By Joni MacFarlane Editor The Crowsnest Pass Ecomuseum Trust Society was one of the recipi-ents of provincial grants given last week to boost preservation proj-ects province-wide. A grant in the amount of $11,850 will be given to the Belleveue Un-derground Mine to develop a plan to conserve distinctive concrete portals as an important feature of the historic site and landmark on Highway 3, said Alberta’s Minis-

ter of Cul-ture Heather Klimchuck. “The his-tory of Al-berta and its people mat-ters to Alber-tans. Invest-ments that help preserve our past are creat-ing cultural, social, and e c o n o m i c benefits that help build strong com-munities for the future,” said Min-ister Klim-chuk. “We are proud to partner with the organi-zations and individuals who work to protect and promote history in communities across the province.” Established in 1903 by

West Canadian Collieries, the Bel-levue Mine operated until the early 1960s and today represents the un-derground mining practices and technologies used to extract steam-grade coal in the Crowsnest Pass, once a leading coal-producing re-gion in western Canada. Tours of the mine allow visitors to experience the workings and environment of a historical coal mine, which was designated as a Provincial Historic Resource in 2011.

During the Hillcrest 100 celebrations, Alberta Min-ister of Culture Heather Klimchuk (right) was made an honourary miner by Rean Knight at the Bellevue Underground Mine.

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!
