the TSM initiative,” said Pierre Gratton, MAC’s President and CEO. “I congratulate Elkview for its leadership in environmental management, for how it engages with its communities, and for being a model for other mine sites across Canada.” TSM Performance Awards are presented annually to MAC members that achieve high levels of performance, and meet or surpass benchmarks in the areas of tailings management, Aboriginal and community outreach, energy use and crisis management planning. A facility’s TSM results must be externally verified to be eligible for this recognition. Teck’s Elkview Operations was honoured with awards in each of the four performance areas, as well as the TSM Leadership Award for its 2012 results. This award is granted only when a facility meets or exceeds a level “A” ranking in their results across all of the four performance categories (known as “protocols”). “Teck employees live and work in this region and they are dedicated to making sure that resource development is sustainable and creates real benefits for the community,” said Marcia Smith, Senior Vice President, Sustainability & External Affairs, Teck. “This achievement reflects the tremendous work of employees at Elkview Operations who continually work
to improve our sustainability performance.” While Elkview’s scores reflect leadership across all TSM categories, the facility stands out for its best practices in Aboriginal and community outreach. In this category, Elkview achieved the highest possible ranking—level “AAA”—across all of the indicators that make up this protocol. This includes, but is not limited to, establishing processes to communicate with a facility’s communities of interest, understanding the viewpoints of the communities, and ensuring that those communities are informed of the mine’s activities and performance. “This Award shines a light on Elkview’s strong commitment to engaging with the people who live in the community, the Ktunaxa First Nation and the broader public at every stage of the mining life cycle,” noted Gratton. As further evidence to its strong community outreach and engagement practices, Teck established an advisory panel in March 2012 comprised of representatives from the local community to foster dialogue about its operations and to incorporate community priorities and perspectives into the mine’s decision-making. This initiative is aligned with one of Teck’s community sustainability goals: to put processes in place to maximize community benefits and collaboration.

City of Cranbrook Snow Removal Policy
As this winter season approaches, we want to remind you of the City of Cranbrook current Snow and Ice Control procedures to better understand why the City clears snow the way it does. The policy in place clearly identifies four levels of priorities for streets for City crews to follow: STREETS Classification “A” – FIRST PRIORITY Major streets, hospital zones, roads that access emergency service facilities, roads with severe grades and transit routes will be cleared first. In some instances, snowfall is heavy enough and continual during the plowing process, that once these routes are cleared crews need to start them over again. That often causes a delay in getting to other areas of the City. Classification “B” – SECOND PRIORITY This includes collector streets, the central business district and school zones. Classification “C” – THIRD PRIORITY This includes other residential streets within the City whose immediate need for snow and ice control is not as important. Vehicles can move around with limited congestion at suitable speeds. Classification “D” – FOURTH PRIORITY The remaining streets, drives, crescents, lanes and alleys where traffic volume is relatively low. Traffic is able to proceed at lower speeds in these residential areas. For a complete look at the Snow Removal Policy, please visit our website.

3 Facts you need to Know About...
BC Hydro Rates
1. Minister Bill Bennett announced a 10 year plan that will keep electricity rates as low as possible while BC Hydro makes investments in aging assets and new infrastructure to support B.C.’s growing population and economy. 2. Over the past several months, government and BC Hydro have worked together to reduce pressure on rates. This effort builds on the 2011 review that identified over $391 million in savings. 3. New measures in the 10 Year Plan will reduce the amount of money that government takes from the utility, free up additional cash to support investments in old & new generation and infrastructure, lower BC Hydro’s operating costs and return Hydro rate setting to the BCUC.

The Key City Theatre is hosting its annual affordable art show from November 25 to December 20th in the Key Gallery. This event provides local artists with the opportunity to showcase in our gallery 3 pieces of art that are priced under $300.00 each. 26 artists from across the East Kootenays have submitted more than 70 pieces in a wide variety of styles. Many popular artists have contributed their works for the Affordable Art show at Key City Theatre. Cranbrook photographer Brandon Peters has 2 canvas prints of his stunning photos of Mt. Rundle and Kootenay National Park. Marilyn Oliver’s use of heat and wax in her 2 pieces of encaustic art are unique and vibrant. We have a wide variety of acrylic works from local artists including Jim Robertson, Wolfgang Kunze, Paula Cravens, Elizabeth Stuart and Val MacPhee. Steen Jorgensen acrylic painting “Three Pig’s” has a similar feel to C. M. Coolidge’s “Dogs Playing Poker” paintings and shouldn’t be missed. Dave Weir, a local wood carver, has a piece that is hauntingly similar to “Treebeard” of the Ents from J.R.R Tolkien’s classic series Lord of the Rings. Additional works from Darlene Purnell (fibre), Sharon Routley (oil and canvas), Dorial Davis (mixed media), Yoki (oil pastels) and many more can be viewed hanging on the Key Gallery wall until December 20th. The Key City Theatre will also be holding an Affordable Art Reception and Christmas Craft Fair on December 14th from 11:00 to 4:00 pm. The reception will include a meet and greet with local artists, live music, 20 local crafters and artisans tables, refreshments and door prizes. Admission is free and provides a great opportunity to purchase some last minute gifts and stocking stuffers from local artisans. For more information contact Nick at 250 426 7006.

Getting into the Spirit
With plenty of snow on the ground, our thoughts are turning more and more to the holiday season with cookies, hot drinks and plenty of decorations. For many families, the glowing centrepiece of the celebrations is the Christmas tree. As with most things in today’s world, there are many choices when it comes to the type of tree: Artificial or Real? Plantationgrown or native tree? In our family, an artificial tree is unthought of and over the years, we have had an assortment of trees from the Charlie Brown tree cut in the woods to the sheared to perfection Nordman fir. When it comes to fresh-cut rees, Top Crop offers the best selection, from plantationgrown to locally-grown. All fresh-cut trees are kept in our climate-controlled tree house for the freshest tree possible. Natural-shaped trees look like the best possible tree you could find growing in your local forest, without having to tromp for miles in the snow and waste gas. Cultured trees are grown on a Christmas tree farm and have been groomed to perfection. We carry several different varieties, so you can find the perfect tree for your home that will please the entire family this holiday season. Some of the different trees we offer include: Douglas Fir: The Douglas fir is the most economical cultured tree available. Douglas firs are liked for their dense, bushy shape and fine soft needles. They have a distinctive pine like scent that often lasts throughout the entire season. If you like to put on lots of lights, then this is your tree. Noble Fir: With a beautiful, almost sprucelike appearance, the Noble fir has soft bluegreen needles on evenly spaced, strong branches. They are perfect for heavy ornaments. Noble firs keep really well and have a very pleasant mild fir scent. Fraser Fir: This tree has an upward branching habit, making it a thinner tree. Because of the upward branching it enables the perfect view of the underside of the needle, thus giving the tree a silver appearance. Grand Fir: This variety is a popular tree as it has a glossy dark green color and is soft to the touch. With the Grand fir you would want to use light weight ornaments. If you have pets and small children and you don’t want a poky tree, this is your best choice. Nordman Fir: This tree has achieved the status of the ultimate non-needle-drop Christmas tree. The Nordman fir is very symmetrical and graceful. Its shiny bright green needles are soft and delicate to the touch. For better needle retention, cultured trees should not be frozen. If the temperature is below -6° C, you may want to consider bringing an old blanket to wrap around your tree when you get it home. And whatever you do, do not leave it sitting outside in freezing conditions as freezing is the number one reason for needle drop. Once your choice is made and you get your tree home, make sure to re-cut the bottom and immediately immerse it in warm water. You will be surprised how much water your tree will take up in the first 24 hours, so keep it well watered and never let your tree dry out. If you have an exceptionally dry house, an antidesiccant can be applied to help retain needle moisture. This product can help protect your wreaths and other winter greens as well. When the holidays are over, please dispose of your tree in an environmentally responsible manner by taking it to be chipped. Often youth groups offer a tree round-up for a small donation. Till next week... have a happy holiday season. Submitted by Kerstin

OBITUARY Rosalie Elena Sherret July 15, 1928 - December 1, 2013 Our dear mother, Rosalie Elena Sherret, “Lena” to all who knew her, passed from this world on December 1, 2013. While our lives are significantly less without her we are blessed by her legacy of kindness, goodness and unwavering love. Lena was a Kootenay woman through and through. She was born in Cranbrook, and her first home with parents Lionel and Eliza Pippen and sister Laura was at Fort Steele. The family then moved to Mayook where her brother Clifford and sister Florence came into the family. Lena’s commitment to community service was a value instilled by her parents and the early settlers of the Mayook Valley. She continued this legacy of service when she moved to Bassano, Alberta and became a practical nurse. Her education instilled a sense of pride and independence that she passed on to her children. She returned to Cranbrook where she worked at the St. Eugene hospital, met her husband Dave and they were married in 1954. They started their family of five children in Cranbrook then move to Mayook to farm the land settled by her parents and Irish uncles, Jack and George Humphrys. She was a friend and neighbour to all who lived in the Mayook Valley. Lena embraced her life as a farming woman and she took great pride in her family, her garden and her cows. She was a welcoming and ever helpful neighbour and she delighted in impromptu visits that always included a cup of tea or an extra seat at the dinner table. Community was of great importance to Lena. She was a devoted member of the Anglican Church and as an Anglican Church Woman she was renown for her homemade bread and knitted mittens for their annual fall bazaar. After leaving the farm, Lena and Dave moved back to Cranbrook to enjoy retirement. Again, Lena’s love for her community shone through in her volunteer work with the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store and the Key City Theatre. Lena also loved to travel, especially the three trips to Ireland to visit her ancestral home. Perhaps her greatest joy was realized in her role as grandmother and great-grandmother. She is predeceased by her sister Laura, husband Dave and daughter-in-law Toni. She leaves to celebrate her life her children and family: David, Rosemary, Megan and Sheila; Laura Lynn, Bob, Tyson and Eliza; Brian; Melvin, Jill, Kya and India; Norma, Denis, Sarah, Todd and Chelsa and four great grandchildren. Mum’s devotion to her family, friends and community are reflected in the following words: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. A memorial service for Lena will be held on Thursday December 5, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook, BC. Those wishing to make a memorial donation is honour of Lena may do so to East Kootenay Regional Hospital Auxiliary, 13 - 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 in her name. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Lexine Gay Phillipps (Cayenne) June 13, 1955-November 29, 2013 Lexine passed away at home, comfortably with her family by her side on Friday morning. She was pre-deceased by her father Alex Phillips and her legacy lives on through her many loved ones still here. Her loving mother Florence, Aunt Liz Gravelle and her two loving daughters Leah Jean (Curtis) and Rebecca Ruth (Jamie) and her adopted son Dennis (Shelly). She was a very proud "grammie" to her grandsons Jared, Alexander, William and Thomas, who were her heart. She leaves her ex-husband Ron Cayenne and her brothers Nick (Shannon), Tom (Alta), Frank (Helen) and Dave. Her two sisters Rose (Trevor) and Gwen (Andrew), along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and many close family friends. Lexine was an extremely independent and talented woman. She was well known on the rodeo circuit for her photographs and her special made "cowboy shirts." She was a gift artist, who loved to paint and draw, as well as sew, knit and crochet. Lex was a natural cowgirl and loved her horses. Her girls were always surrounded by many pets, including "the ladies' her chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, turkeys, horses and of course Major the 4-H steer who thought he was a horse. Lexine accomplished many things in her life and was always there when help was needed. She wore many different hats, but no matter what the job entailed, Lex would never quit until her goals were accomplished. She was very passionate about her Ktunaxa heritage and dedicated many years working towards the betterment of the Nation. She was a very loving and spirited soul right to the end. Her smile and laugh will forever be missed.

Walter Bjorkman November 7, 1932-November 25, 2013 It is with much sadness that the family of Walter Bjorkman of Canal Flats announce his passing at the Invermere and District Hospital on November 25, 2013. Walter was born in Cranbrook on November 7, 1932 to Ragnor and victoria Bjorkman. At the age of sixteen, Walter went to work at the local sawmills. Going further afield he drove transport between Dawson Creek and Edmonton. He was also a forestry supervisor at Alexis Creek. He returned to Canal Flats to drive logging trucks for Henry Rotvold and Roy Stapleton. Then he joined Crestbrook Forest Industries as a gravel truck driver maintaining forestry roads. In 1961 he met the love of his life, Kathleen McCoy who had come to Canal Flats to teach school. Walter is survived by his wife of 50 years, Kathleen; two sons, Dave (Elly) and Len (Launie); five grandchildren, Joseph (Yolanda), Cameron (Ashley), Jade (Nathan), Brett (Amber) and Seth; also a brother, Ralph, in Watson Lake, Yukon, and a sister, Ruth White, in Kimberley. He is survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins. Walter was predeceased by three brothers: Einar, Elmer and Ellard; and two sisters: Miriam Stapleton and Martha Rotvold. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, quadding and sledding. He was a fun loving person who enjoyed telling stories and jokes. Walter had an excellent memory of the past. He thoroughly enjoyed visiting with old friends, reminiscing about old times, remembering "the good old days"! A special thank you to Dr. Joubert and the Interior Health ladies who visited on a daily basis. A celebration of life is planned for the Spring of 2014. Donations can be made to the charity of your choice.

Slugs: Big billboard shaped slugs to those particular stores and merchants in Kimberley who put those annoying boards obstructing sidewalks that are tight enough already. How are wheelchairs and strollers meant to get by? Please stop congesting and/ or blocking sidewalks with signs that people don’t bother looking at anyways. Hugs: Here’s to Shannon at the Kootenay Advertiser for doing the Hugs and Slugs column every week! Good job, Shannon! Slugs: To the person(s) that found 2 bags sitting on The Cellar step of Cranbrook United Church: The contents of one bag were lights intended for our children’s outdoor nativity scene. Now this display will not be as visible as our Sunday School children would have liked. Christmas is a time of giving not taking. Please return them for the children’s sake. Hugs: A big hug to all the guys and gals at Signal Collision. Many unexpected special touches when my car got body work done from cleaning inside and out, paper mats, pad and pen, calendar, key ring and best of all a hug to see me off. So nice to have service people who know the importance of giving great service. I will go back and send my friends.
Books can be dropped off no later tha dec. 13 at the library, Key city Theatre, lotus Books, the alliance, anglican and Roman catholic churches and Falkins Insurance. Volunteers are needed to sort & bag the books - please call anna for info. 250-581-2112 or wccranbrook@gmail. com

Slugs: To those drivers of Cranbrook and environs who have absolutely no idea what that little lever on the left side of their steering column is for. You know the one: push it up and your right signal light comes on; down, and you signal left. I do not know where you live, I don’t know where you shop and I certainly don’t know that you’re going to the Library. And those of you who do know about this marvellous modern invention, please engage it just before putting your foot on the brake, not as you’re actually turning the corner! My blood pressure thanks you. Hugs: Huge Hugs to the man & woman that went into the Elk River to help the family whose van was upside down in the river. You are an incredible sign that hero’s do exist! Hugs: To the driver of the snow plow that plows the 1000 block of 19th Ave S for doing such a great job after Monday’s snow fall. Slugs: A big Slug to CP Rail for treating Wasa like a scrap iron yard. Signed-CPM Hugs: to the friendly tellers at the TD Bank, you gals always have a smile to share with me when I come in.
Slugs: To the person who doesn’t pick up their dog dung along the path in the Brookview / Kinsmen Park area. We have eyes on you! You will be caught! Hugs: A hug to the Toyota dealer.Thanks Rob for the great service. It’s nice to leave with a good experience. Hugs: To the Canadian Tire guy who found the 4 ft ladder - we had been in the store the previous week and the person who tried to help us then wasn’t successful in finding it.
During this festive and happy time of year...send a hug and you will be entered to win a Tim Horton’s $10 gift card*
*Only‘hugs’will be entered for a $10 gift card drawn each Friday for the month of December. Please include your name and phone number for the draw.

We will print the anonymous submissions for all to see. Be honest, but all we ask is you keep it tasteful. Hugs and Slugs will be printed as space allows, if we miss yours check back next week and you will be bumped to the start of the list. You can also drop by a written submission to our office at 1510 2nd Street N. or call Shannon at (250)489-3455 or 1-800-665-2382

Hopley declared long-term offender By Joni MacFarlane Editor Randall Hopley, a convicted child abductor, has been declared a long-term offender and sentenced to seven years in prison, followed by 10 years of supervision once released. Hopley had been convicted of abducting three-year-old Kienan Hebert from his family’s Sparwood home in September 2011. Many Crowsnest Pass residents took part in the massive man-hunt to find Hebert who was returned
home by Hopley uninjured. Police found Hopley shortly afterward hiding out in the west end of Crowsnest Pass. He pleaded guilty to abducting Hebert and holding him in an abandoned cabin for four days. The crown had argued that Hopley should be declared a dangerous offender, which would have kept him in jail indefinitely but B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes said Hopley didn’t meet the criteria for dangerous offender status. Hopley, 48, entered foster care when he was 10 and re-

mained there until he was 19. He has numerous convictions for sexually assaulting children. But Holmes told a Cranbrook courtroom that Hopley’s sex assaults on children as a teen were too far removed to form a repetitive pattern of behaviour. With time already spent in custody, Hopley will still have to serve five years behind bars. His long-term offender status means he will be supervised for 10 years following his release.

Church aids efforts in the Phillipines By Joni MacFarlane Editor
and is likely to climb further, while millions have been left homeless, Philippine officials have said. Fr. Marina has two sisters as well as nieces and nephews and fortunately, they are uninjured and not as affected as others. He is from the island province of Catanduanes that lies beyond the region most affected. “Our province is farther than the central Philippines. The centre of Philippines was most hit, the eye of the typhoon was there. Ours was far from it,” he said. “There are lots of homes destroyed.” “I feel very sad. Whenever I see the suffering of the people, I wanted to cry,” said Fr. Marina. “So I decided to, at
least in my own little way, to help what I can do.” With donations from several area artists, including paintings and drawings “A Philippine by birth, Canadian by by Fr.

Fourth-generation rancher sets sights on Macleod riding By Joni MacFarlane Editor
Longtime rancher and farmer Phil Rowland believes he’s especially wellrounded to represent the diverse interest of constituents in the Conservative Party’s nomination for the Macleod riding. Working full-time in the agriculture industry, Rowland was born and raised in the High River area and now coowns and manages a farm at Mazeppa and a ranch at Longview. Before this, he worked in pipeline and facility construction in the oil and gas industry. With his experience and community involvement, Rowland said, he understands the people of the riding and their concerns. Rowland has been active in various community groups and government groups such as the Alberta Government Land Agents Advisory Committee and past director and secretary-treasurer of the Southern Alberta Land Trust Society. As well as various agricultural organizations, he has also been involved as a volunteer for candidates in federal and provincial elections. “I’m a fiscal conservative and a good fit with the Conservative Party,” said Rowland. “They need some integrity
and I’m the kind of guy to speak up when needed.”
Phil Rowland, a fourth-generation rancher and farmer, believes he has the right mix of experience to run as the Conservative Party’s Macleod riding candidate. Submitted photo
Describing the Senate scandal as a “disappointment”, Rowland said, if elected, he would work hard in the backrooms lobbying for people to follow the rules. “I believe people should follow the rules,” he said. “If the rules are not appropriate, then they should be changed.” Rowland said he knows a lot of people in the riding and believes he’s a good fit to represent them. “I want to represent the people of Macleod to make sure they have someone they can reach at the end of the phone who will advocate for their concerns,” said Rowland. “I’m not afraid to step up to the plate and advocate for them.” As a member of the provincial government’s Mountain Pine Beetle Advisory Committee, and involvement in the South Saskatchewan Regional land use plan, he believes a federal connection to represent concerns of the environment, such as flood mitigation, is important. “I especially understand the concerns [in the south] of the environment and how forestry works as well as the mining community that Crowsnest Pass has turned out to be,” he said. “I have been progressive and aggressive as a business person and believe we need someone in the riding who has this background.”

Food Bank needs your help Dear Editor, The busy time of Christmas is upon us and often we intend to do something but with much on our minds, some things get forgotten. Needs of the local Food Bank could be one of those things that slips our minds. If you are wondering what the Food Bank is wanting to put on its shelves, I’ll give you some ideas and then it’s up to you to take it from there. At the moment, we are very well stocked with peanut butter, Cheerios, Kraft dinner, shampoo and conditioner. We’ve a fair supply of canned meat (tuna, flakes of ham, chicken and turkey) and canned vegetables but we wouldn’t say “No” to more. Our supply of almost everything else is either in short supply or non-existent: soups, chunky soups, canned pastas, pork and beans, powdered milk, canned tomatoes, canned fruit, ketchup, jam, Stove Top Stuffing, cookies, soda crackers, baking supplies (white and brown sugar, flour, raisins, molasses, etc.), Kleenex, toilet tissue, bar hand soap, hand creams and lotions, deodorants, diapers, pet food. Look in your cupboards or your bathroom and you’ll see things I haven’t suggested. Go shopping with a friend and split the cost. Be assured, we will appreciate whatever you donate. Some things we can’t accept: home baking, opened or partly used packages or out-dated items. Many will be donating when they welcome the CPR Holiday Train in Coleman just after lunch on Tuesday, Dec. 10 but if you missed that, there are drop-off locations at Servus Credit Union, The Bargain Shop, Sobey’s and the Catholic Church. No donation is too small. One more thing: Please don’t leave donations at the door of the Food Bank on 19 Avenue when we are not open. A few people have done that and the weather has soaked or frozen some of the items which resulted in them having to be thrown out. We are open Mon. and Wed. From 5 p.m. To 7 p.m. and on Thurs. from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and if those times are not convenient, any of the drop-off locations will accept the donations. Thank you for your generosity. Bernice Sprague

Students from the Nippon Institute of Technology (NIT) packed boxes for Operation Christmas Shoe Box Project in Crowsnest Pass. A total of 132 boxes were collected from various organizations and businesses within the community and an additional 165 boxes were packed by NIT students from items collected by students, staff, homestay families and other community members. The program is now coordinated through the NITICC and the Lethbridge College Community Service Learning program , a three-credit Lethbridge College course taught at the NIT Intercultural Campus. Community Service Learning is a program that connects the curriculum to volunteerism within the community. Students are matched with community service projects related to their classroom studies. While meeting actual community needs, students gain valuable hands-on experiences which enhance their educational goals. In addition to the academic reinforcement, Service Learning strengthens student leadership skills and offers opportunities to better understand such values as human diversity, social justice, and engaged citizenship.

Municipal planning commission briefs By Joni MacFarlane Editor
The municipal planning commission held their monthly meeting on Nov. 27 with the following decisions. An application to subdivide two existing lots to create three smaller titles was approved. The land, in Blairmore, north of the Southmore development, currently has a house, garage and dog house on the proposed 0.54 acres parcel while the other two lots of 0.31 and 0.36 acres, are vacant. Mike Burla representing the Oldman River Regional Services Commission, told the commission that, “a utility right of way plan traverses diagonally across the property which poses certain development constraints for the proposed new properties”, but “there would be sufficient land available for development at a future date... and still maintain the respective setbacks from the actual utility right of way”. A letter describing the proposed subdivision was sent to adjacent landowners and referral agencies such as Fortis, ATCO Gas, Alberta Health Services and Alberta Transportation, Burla said. No objectives were raised, he added. The commission moved to approve the application subject to standard conditions. An application for a dog grooming homebased business in Bellevue was approved after the commission determined concerns were being addressed. It was also determined that the commission has an obligation to deal with applications within 40 days and it shouldn’t be delayed. One neighbour expressed some concerns but the applicant said she had taken all these into consideration and assured the commission the concerns were unjustified.
She said the property was specifically chosen because there were very few neighbours in the vicinity, that the business was not a kennel, only a grooming business, so dogs would rarely be seen outside, that it would operate with staggered appointments and there would be minimal impact to neighbouring homes. The commission moved to approve the application subject to the business adhering to home-based occupation criteria, that it not occupy outdoor space between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., and other standard conditions. A lengthy discussion on the technicality of past approvals took place before a retail store was approved for a property in Passburg. After considerable debate, it became clear that in light of the many activities previously approved, it would have made more sense to rezone the property from its current Drive-In Commercial zoning.
Approved uses were residence, office/sales area, repair garage, and snowmobile/ATV related business. Ken Bourdeau, development officer, told the commission the snowmobile/ATV business was no longer active and so, an approved use needed to be determined before approving the retail store. “I would suggest that looking at this in good faith, you have an applicant that’s tried to go through a process here and may be the victim of some bad advice in the past,” said Burla. “What I can see here is at least 10 years worth of hard work by the applicant to work within the system.” He added that during recent revisions of the land use bylaw, there are now over 600 definitions to clarify formerly vague uses. A discretionary use for the property was decided on and the application for a retail store was approved subject to
standard conditions. Lastly, an application for a secondary suite above a detached garage was denied. It was determined that secondary suites are not permitted as discretionary use in the land use bylaw. The applicant said the second floor of a detached garage would be converted into a bedroom with a bathroom and gas stove. A kitchen was not part of the application but, Bourdeau said, administration was concerned it could be added in the future. Burla said they took a great deal of time in 2004 to deal with the issue of secondary suits in the land use bylaw. A conscious decision was made, he said, to identify them as being located in the primary residence and not allowing them in detached garages. The application was denied on the basis that it does not fit the definition of secondary suites.

That was the message delivered to members of the Crowsnest Conservation Society by wildlife conservationist, biologist and author Kevin Van Tighem at the Annual General Meeting on Nov. 21. An engaging and knowledgeable speaker, Van Tighem said people tend to form their picture of the world at an early age and although the landscape changes, their view of it does not. “Bears are really the ultimate expressions of these landscapes and to the extent that bears are doing well, we can be confident that our landscapes are functioning... to the extent that their status is changing, we need to be looking critically at what’s happening to the landscape,” he said. “The South Saskatchewan is a water poor region, we use it but we don’t create it,” he added. “It comes from the headwaters, that’s also where the bears live.” To demonstrate that bears can always be found in well-watered landscapes, Van Tighem showed satellite images depicting radio-collared bear habitat. “By and large riparian and wet slopes are great places to find bears but that’s also where our water comes from”. Prime grizzly bear habitat are wet places with reliable vegetation and not much tree cover. “Essentially, [water and grizzly bears] are the same thing from a landscape point of view,” said Van Tighem. “If you’re managing well for grizzly bears, you are managing well for water.” However, Van Tighem said, at the same time as the natural flow is decreasing, the population is increasing putting an increased demand on water needs. “We should be paying attention to water,” he said. “We’re a society that is about to hit the wall... a water wall. Van Tighem explained how the majority of the South Saskatchewan region’s water comes from snow forests and the eastern slopes have a high loss of water from the tree canopy. Clear cutting puts about 40 per cent more snow on the ground, but it all melts in about two weeks’ time, he said. A lack of trees means the snow melts all at once in early spring when it’s not needed. If trees are left standing, they provide shade which causes snow to melt later in the summer when the landscape needs it.
In addition to losing water faster, clear cutting creates funnels that water runs down and less is taken in by ground cover, said Van Tighem. Logging, roads and quad trails alter the landscape and change both water supply and grizzly habitat, he said, while wildfire, mountain pine beetle and beavers are nature’s way of dealing with forests and water. “When you go in and starting modifying a landscape, you’re really just touching one domino and all these dominoes are connected,” Van Tighem added. He suggested forestry be managed more around water security than timber fibre and argued that Alberta manage its resources cohesively rather than in the sectoral manner currently used – forestry, fish and wildlife, and recreational. “We’ll be paying more for climate change in the future with more and severe weather events on a very badly damaged landscape or we can get to work and put those landscapes back together the way they were meant to be,” said Van Tighem. “If we could do forestry differently in a way that would really be good for water,” said Van Tighem. “If we did it that way, it would really be good for bears.” Finally, he encouraged all members of the Crowsnest Conservation Society to actively participate in the South Saskatchewan Regional land use by providing feedback on the draft plan. An online workbook is available and must be received by Jan. 15, 2014. BearSmart coordinator Elizabeth Anderson also took time to give recognition to one of that organization’s volunteers for her exceptional commitment and hard work with the program. Jan Lloyd is one who works behind the scenes, said Anderson, and over the last two years has done over 600 hours of bear monitoring, and has travelled 11,000 kilometres searching for monitored bears and patrolling neighbourhoods day and night. “She’s one of those people who’s just happy doing what she’s doing,” said Anderson. “I feel very honoured to be able to work with her.” Lastly, members voted in the executive for 2014 including Judy Cooke (President), Merilyn Liddell (Vice-President & Secretary), Gwen Tietz (Treasurer), Bill Paton, Robert Anderson, Rick Cooke and John Kinnear (Directors).

The 15th Annual Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will once again be stopping in Crowsnest Pass. The popular Christmas event visits southwestern Alberta every other year in an effort to raise money for food banks in local communities. Since the Holiday Train program first launched in 1999, it has raised $7.4 million and 3 million pounds of food for local communities. It is estimated elves have handed out over a quarter of a million candy canes to children as treats at the event. The CP Holiday Train kicked off this year’s program on Nov. 25 in Quebec and will wrap up its journey Dec. 16 in Port Coquitlam, B.C. Another train travels across the U.S. northeast and midwest. Its first stop is in Scranton, PA and its final show is on Dec.
19 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Each of the two Holiday Trains are about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars lit up with hundreds of thousands of LED lights and holiday designs. On Tuesday, Dec. 10, the train will arrive in Coleman south of 17th Avenue between 69th and 70th Streets around 1:15 p.m. Recording artists Melanie Doane and Matt Dusk will be performing on a modified boxcar stage. Along with elves and of course, Santa, Mayor Blair Painter will be on hand and a presentation will be made to Crowsnest Pass Food Bank. Residents and visitors are encouraged to bring either a non-perishable food item or cash donation. Items like infant formula, canned meats, spaghetti sauce are some of the foodstuffs in particular demand for the millions of North Americans who turn to food banks each month. All donations will be be given to Crowsnest Pass Food Bank.
Twenty years and still going strong “Anything you put the effort in, you see the rewards. If you don’t put the effort in, it’s hard to see the rewards.” Harry advises people who are thinking of starting a business to do their homework, know what they’re getting into and not to quit when things get a little tough. “Something that a lot of people in business are afraid of is competition and I have to say that competition is good,” she said. “Because we’ve got three dress stores in the Crowsnest Pass, people will come to check them all out… and that’s good.” She also emphasized that it’s important to be competitive with pricing and quality of
bigger stores in urban areas. Harry started carrying Joseph Ribkoff and French Dressing when the store first opened on the advice of former dress shop owners. “They told me, these
lines have been good for us, so I started with that and they’ve worked out very well for me,” said Harry. In the long term, Bonnie’s Fashions and Work & Play plan to keep doing what they do best.

As anyone in the retail industry knows, success can be challenging in today’s business environment. However, one local business is not only still going strong, but shows no signs of slowing down. After 20 years, Bonnie Harry of Bonnie’s Fashion and Work & Play attributes her longevity primarily to customer service. Harry had been running a shoe shop in the Crowsnest Mall since April 1993. When two local dress shops closed, she saw an opportunity. “I thought, if I don’t have anybody selling clothes in this town, I’m not going to sell many shoes,” said Harry. “So at that point in time, I opened a dress store.” On Aug. 1, 1996, Bonnie’s Fashions opened in its current location where Harry incorporated dresses and clothing with shoes. Four years ago, on Oct. 1st, she added Work & Play to the business. “I didn’t really expect it to grow like it has,” Harry admitted. “But it’s all been good and we just keep going.” She attributes the success and growth of the business primarily to good customer service and staff. “We all enjoy what we’re doing… They’re all very good and I appreciate that,” she said. As well, the selection, variety and quality of the clothes are good and the store has gar-
nered a loyal customer base, said Harry. Customers come from as far away as Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Creston, Cranbrook and even into Saskatchewan. Harry said many come back on a regular basis. “We’re servicing a very large area and that gives us the ability to bring in the quality and the selection that we have,” she explained. In addition to maintaining a large customer database, the store sends out gift coupons to regular customers on their birthdays and in spring and fall offering discounts. “All of that helps to bring the customers back,” said Harry.

Council supports UROC By Joni MacFarlane Editor
Are you ready to Grow with your Community? Want to know HOW?
BECOME A COMMUNITY BUILDER!
We have been given an amazing opportunity to be included in a program that trains people from the Crowsnest Pass to become Community Builders! AND it is FREE! What is a Community Builder?
Council unanimously agreed to provide support to the United Riders of Crowsnest (UROC) at a meeting on Nov. 19. The UROC group is applying for grant funding under a provincial program to continue with trail development. Trail building has been taking place for several years with the majority of existing trails on the Pass Powderkeg Ski Hill land base, said Myron Thompson, chief administrative officer. Approval is being sought to develop trails on the quarter-section of ski hill land owned by the municipality, a quarter-section of land leased from the province, as well as land to the south
owned by Riversdale Resources Ltd. acquired recently from Devon. In order to apply for grant funding, said Thompson, a letter of support and endorsement from the municipality is required. “I know that UROC does a fantastic job looking after our mountain bike trails,” said Councillor Shar Lazzarotto. “There’s probably been over half a million dollars of work already put in to that whole project and it would be well worth it to continue it. The feedback we’re getting from other riders is that it’s awesome, the trails are built to International Mountain Bike Association standards which is quite unique for a lot of the areas around here and I totally support this.” Councillor Lazzarotto made a motion to send a letter of support that was unanimously carried.
In order for rural communities to be sustainable and prosperous they need to build formal and informal leaders. Are you ready to become a better business owner, manager, volunteer, parent and community member? Then this opportunity is for YOU! The Crowsnest Pass is in a position of change and poised for potential growth, so we are looking for community members who are willing to become Community Builders in order to assist our community. All it takes is your willingness to learn, a commitment of an hour a week and best of all it is FREE! This initiative is offered by an award winning coach and community builder Ian Hill, who has assisted and worked with 160 rural communities across Canada. He understands the challenges rural communities face and with his knowledge and expertise he has put together this online training to assist small communities not only to overcome their hurdles but to prosper! Although the course has already started, you can still access the information in the archives and complete the course!
Who Can Participate?
Originally this program was only offered to Pincher Creek and area but has been extended to the Crowsnest Pass. The program itself is open to any adult or youth! Our youth are the future of our community, so please encourage any youth you know to participate, we need their leadership in our community as well! This is a great program for Business owners and managers!

‘Tis the season for gingerbread cookies
The holiday season is dominated by tradition. Families typically have their own unique traditions, but certain practices are so widely popular that they have become synonymous with the holiday season. Such is the case with certain foods, including gingerbread cookies. Gingerbread cookies can be enjoyed year-round, but many people only enjoy this tasty treat during the holiday season. For those who can’t wait to indulge in gingerbread cookies this year, consider this recipe for “Soft Glazed Gingerbread” from Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson’s “Tartine” (Chronicle Books). Soft Glazed Gingerbread Yields 12 to 20 cookies Dough 33/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 4 teaspoons ground ginger 11/2 teaspoons ground cloves 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 11/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup blackstrap or other dark molasses 2 tablespoons light corn syrup Glaze 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons water To make the dough, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy. Slowly add the granulated sugar and mix on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and soft. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg and mix well. Add the molasses and corn syrup and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer again and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until a dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl and all the ingredients are well incorporated. Remove the dough from the bowl, flatten it on a large piece of plastic wrap into a rectangle about 1 inch thick, cover the dough with the plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper on a nonstick liner. Unwrap the dough and place on a floured work surface. If using a plaque with a design, roll out the dough 1/3-inch thick, lightly dust the top with flour, press your cookie molds over the dough, and then cut out the shapes with a small knife and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Alternatively, using the mold as a guide, cut around it with a small knife, flip the mold over so the design is facing you, and place the dough over it, pressing it into the design. Unmold the shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them. If using a patterned rolling pin, lightly dust the lined baking sheet with flour and transfer the dough to the pan. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour and roll it into a rectangle about 1/3-inch thick with a plain pin. Then, using the patterned pin, roll over the dough with enough pressure to ensure a clear impression of the design. Trim the sides with a small knife. It is not necessary to cut into smaller sizes before baking. Bake the cookies until lightly golden along the sides but still soft to the touch in the centers, 7 to 15 minutes. The timing will depend on the size of the individual cookies, or if you have made a single large patterned piece that will be cut after baking. While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and water until smooth. When the cookies are ready, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then, while the cookies are still warm, using even strokes, brush a light coat of glaze on the top of each cookie, evenly covering it. Let the cookies cool completely. When the glaze dries, it should leave a shiny, opaque finish. If you have used a patterned pin to make a single large plaque, cut into the desired sizes with a small, very sharp knife. The cookies will keep in an airtight container in a cool place for about 2 weeks. They do not freeze well, however, as the glaze becomes watery when they are thawed.
