Fire/rescue chief changes hands By Joni MacFarlane Editor
Management of the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue department is changing hands after Steve Munshaw, Manager of Protective Services and Fire Chief, handed in his resignation letter last week. Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Wilkinson has accepted 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-
r e h c n i P Creek
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] growing up.” Munshaw, who was born and raised in Kimberley, B.C., started his 20-year fire service career in his hometown. He joined the Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue department 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 training 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 looking 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.

Police on side with Thunder By Joni MacFarlane Editor
A presentation by RCMP on Alberta’s policing responsibilities led to a brief discussion on the desire to bring Thunder in the Valley back to Crowsnest Pass. Inspector Glenn de Goeij of the Operations 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 communities 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 municipality 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, including 40 new members, with a budget
of just under $.25 billion. This does pay and if so, how much should they not include enhanced policing which pay,” she asked. “This is still alive and a community can get on a full-time or well in the minds of the Ministry and part-time basis, said Ohrt. certainly is awaiting further direction Currently, 43 towns and cities in from the government.” Alberta have an de Goeij added RCMP Municipal that Alberta is the Police Service with only jurisdiction a cost sharing arin Canada withrangement between out some type of the province (70 per levy.

are not based solely on that, said de Goeij. Other factors considered are workload of the detachment, the types of complaints that come in, geography of the jurisdiction and specialized services 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 familiar with the Thunder in the Valley and believes the RCMP can work with the municipality and its partners to successfully see its return. “But much like other events in the province, there comes a time where there has to be some very robust discussions about the need to supplement the existing cost of policing and resources,” he said. “It’s a small community hosting a very big event and kudos to the community for the success 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 location. “If we get the parties together, we’ll gladly come back as soon as possible if Multi-Family that’s what you Garage Sale desire,” said de Sat July 5 Goeij.
“From our perspective, I don’t want anybody thinking that the RCMP are against Thunder in the Valley. We are not.”

Blairmore-Frank properties narrowed down for heritage inventory
Design Strategies evaluated the information and narrowed the list down to 35 including 20 residential properties and 15 commercial. The purpose of the second open house was to give the public an opportunity to: • provide historical details and context as to why certain buildings are historically significant to the community, • review and provide further feedback on the information gathered so far, • review and provide feedback on the draft statements of significance that would be required if a property owner chooses to designate their property as a Municipal Historic Resource. Over 100 potential sites were initially identified by MHRB and the consultants. A third open house is scheduled for early September to present the final results to the public. Last summer, Phase I of the Crowsnest Pass Heritage Inventory was completed after 31 sites from Coleman west to the border were extensively researched. Provincial grants have allowed the project to expand and the focus is now on properties in Blairmore and Frank. The three-phase project is expected to cover all five historic communities of the Crowsnest Pass.

What does Canada mean to you? Two days ago, we celebrated the 147th birthday of our country. Canadians are distinctly different from their neighbours and although many of the stereotypes 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 peaceful people (our present leader being an exception. (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 emerging or third world country as I have really appreciates 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, mountains, 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 pharmacy. (So far that has not exceeded one pill a day!) For a small population, I think Canadians have contributed largely to the scientific and technological 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!

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 responsibilities of the society and sets out conditions imposed by the municipality. The Crowsnest Pass Community Pool Society was historically 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 administration.
The Society argued that their role was misunderstood and earlier this year, members expressed 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 Services 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 Margetak, Sherri Gleave, Pauline Beech and Judy Sciarra. Councillors 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.”

Flood recovery Sinister 7 Ultra work continues celebrates seven years By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Feel Beautiful... Look Beautiful....Be Beautiful. Inside and Out! Our mission is to uplift, empower, validate, and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world through highquality products that encourage both inner and outer beauty and spiritual enlightenment while also providing opportunities for personal growth and financial reward.
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 Steinke said two projects were outstanding earlier this year because they wanted to start working 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 Hillcrest Drive and 63rd Street in Coleman. The work has been approved under the Disaster Recovery Program. Steinke said a review of flood damage to backcountry roads was undertaken by Adaptive 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.
By Erin Fairhurst Contributor 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 reaction to increasing the length of the course,” says race co-organizer Brian 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 kilometers towards the end of the race!” Former second place solo winner Joe Huising of Edmonton is pleased with the change. “People have a better understanding 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 wilderness 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, adding that typically only 30 per cent of solo athletes successfully finish 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 introducing 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

CAO reports to council By Joni MacFarlane Editor Sheldon Steinke, Chief Administrative Officer, presented a brief update to council on June 24 on some of the major issues administration 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 resulting 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 ongoing after experiencing further mechanical 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, Blairmore and Coleman, said Steinke. The Service 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 Blairmore 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 Lyons Creek was hauled to the former Crowsnest Centre site. Council members thanked administration 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 because 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 Sheldon [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 encouraging 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 looking at it this year,” she said. “Also the Hillcrest Mine Disaster anniversary was a very good success and thanks to municipal staff… Everything just went perfect, so thank you very much.”

Water-Sewer work underway in Carbondale By Joni MacFarlane Editor A contract with ISL Engineering was approved that will address the water and sewer main systems in the Carbondale 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 water line installed in a right of way designated for utility mains. These two lines service three separate residences and there may be more in the future. Typically, mains of this size are designed to service one house resulting in low water pressure and volumes. It also increases the risk of sewer backup. ISL will do a background investigation, 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 provincial MSI program.

Recreation study incomplete, council says By Joni MacFarlane Editor A recreation feasibility study presented 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 community 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 investment, so the municipality has a strategic course of action... to guide [them].” The consultant looked at the municipality’s current inventory, compared the Crowsnest Pass to similar communities and sought public input by conducting surveys and interviewing people representing recreation groups in the community.
The results were presented to council and the Sports & Recreation 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 Swimming Pool were missing and should also be included in the final report. Councillor Marlene Anctil confirmed 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 information, about another $15,000 would be required. The issue will be brought back to council in the fall.

Fun By The Numbers
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!
