WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL ISSUE

COHERE MAGAZINE

Park.

When Vine first pitched me about the idea of a new magazine for Cranbrook, I thought “What’s the point?”

We were sitting on a concrete Wall of Recognition in Rotary

But Vine’s got a vision, and by the time we parted, she’d convinced me of two things: It would be worthwhile; and we could do it.

So here we are.

COHERE will be what the people make it— contributors, advertisers, readers and friends. We’re here to highlight the interesting, innovative, sometimes irksome aspects of Cranbrook, and for that, we need input.

Give COHERE a read. Let us know if reading it counts as quality time. Let us know what you’d like to see in it.

The winter issue is right around the corner.

Until then,

Creativity and commerce sometimes seem like two ends of a line. What if we pulled that line into a circle? What would be going on in the middle?

It turns out there are people just around the corner who are not only succeeding in that space where creativity and commerce meet, they are changing the world.

Right here, in our little town.

Except, when you think about that, it doesn’t feel like such a little town anymore. We have reached such a level of success, capacity, people and potential after more than one hundred years of history that we may be edging into big town status. And we’re not finished growing and changing as a community yet. Maybe its: “little big town,” like “young adult.” And that’s a pretty exciting place to be.

So, COHERE is about coming together, exploring our growth and assembling a picture of what Cranbrook wants to be when it grows up. Honestly, thoughtfully and fearlessly, we aim to celebrate the creativity and innovation that makes our town like no other.

Maybe, between the lines of stories about our past and our present, we’ll get a glimpse of our future here together.

I hope you come with us all the way!

Hot on the trail When our family thinks Fall, we think hiking. We put away all the swimming toys, and hot weather sporting items and think about the trails with the best views of the changing colour.

Pack up this great fall hiking meal for your next mountain-side adventure.

Bean Bag Soup

Vine Madder talks food & drink

This recipe got its name from the five year old who liked to toss the bulk bag of mixed beans in the air and catch it, until one day the bag broke! I usually make this a day ahead, then reheat and pour into thermoses for a journey.

2 cups dried mixed beans, soaked overnight 3⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 cloves garlic, roughly minced 1⁄2 yellow onion, roughly chopped 2 medium carrots, roughly chopped 1 small zucchini, roughly chopped 2 cups butternut squash peeled & cut into 1⁄2 cubes 1 medium potato, peeled & cut into 1⁄2 cubes

1. Drain beans and transfer to a 3-qt. saucepan with about 4 cups water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, until beans are tender, 40–45 min.

2. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 5-qt. pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and onion. Cook, stirring often, until soft, about 3 min.

¤¤THINK

THE CULTURE QUESTION to Nelson, I saw a young woman on Baker Street playing guitar. She had dirty-blonde dreadlocks, a thrift-shop green dress and tights that were horizontally striped in black and purple. I thought, “Well, that’s Nelson in a nutshell.”

Of course it isn’t Nelson in a nutshell; there’s a lot more going on in that community than street busking. But the small city’s general history with draft dodgers, hippies, artists and ski bums does colour my idea of Nelson’s culture as somewhat wholewheat and shrubby. And of course there is more to Fernie than deep powder and increasingly expensive condos.

CULTURE. IN CRANBROOK. WHAT IS IT? Sioux Browning talks ideas

T

he City of Cranbrook’s official motto: “Mountains of Opportunity”—and it’s a motto I quite like—doesn’t help me define the city’s general culture. If an opportunity is a time when circumstances come together for advancement or possibility, then Cranbrook’s motto leads me to think of a town where those advancements or possibilities haven’t quite been embraced. A town somewhat unfinished, like a novel in progress, or a painting where part of the canvas is still blank. It’s a hopeful place, but one that doesn’t quite know how the whole thing will turn out.

In its broadest sense, culture is the learned patterns and accepted beliefs of a specific group of people. When looking for a shorthand for a specific group, we often rely on generalizations of surface impressions. We may think of hip hop culture as bling, sports-

10

|

wear fashion, Cadillac Escalades, and hard-driving music about booty and violence. Whether or not it is cliché, whether or not it disregards the complexities and subsets of hip hop music, this impression of hip hop culture is first to come to many people’s minds.

If you are asked to think of Jewish culture, or Quebecois culture, or Mexican culture, similar generalizations may spring to mind.

In the same way, cities and communities project their own kinds of culture. The culture of Manhattan is vastly different than the culture of Fort McMurray. What about the difference between Manhattan and Rio de Janeiro or the difference between Fort McMurray and Nantucket? You may not have even been to one of these places to know their cultures are different. You may even have an idea of how they differ.

Here in the Kootenays, similar cultural distinctions are easily drawn, whether unfair or not. When I think of Fernie, I think of roof racks full of adventureready toys and lots of Alberta plates in the parking lots. On a recent trip

The point is this: I was born in Cranbrook and lived here off and on for many years and I still have a hard time putting a finger on what Cranbrook’s unfairly generalized culture is. Is it business-oriented and big-boxy? Yup, but that’s not all of it.

Is it sporty? Yeah, but in a fragmented, hockey-oriented way. There isn’t a significant lake or ski hill on the edge of town to put a stamp on our cultural envelope. There are healthy folks and health food stores here and plenty of no-pesticide advocates but the city certainly isn’t shrubby. What about the arts? A lot of people have spent a lot of time and effort building up Cranbrook’s cultural institutions but again, I don’t see Cranbrook as a cultural hotbed. Part of this is because the arts communities are fragmented too, each group pursuing its goals and moving ahead independent of the others.

This sense of a community still roughhewn is very appealing to me. If I can’t quite identify Cranbrook’s culture to myself or others, then there is still opportunity—lots of opportunity—to be bold in helping stake out our identity. How will we define ourselves as a community? How will we promote ourselves? What possibilities will we seize? The opportunities are as great as the mountains.

MR. ANDERSON Sioux Browning talks living the good life in Cranbrook

On one hand, he can be imposing and stern, and on the other hand he can be a goofball, delighting in his friends. He can be driven and obsessively detail-oriented, but that’s when he’s on the clock.

Away from work, he shares a calm, welcoming home with his partner, Jim Belsham, which is full of great food, treasured artwork, and plenty of good company.

It may take an enigmatic riddle with silver hair and Paul Newman blue eyes to accomplish what Garry Anderson has accomplished. Residents of Cranbrook are familiar with Anderson as the executive director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (CMRT).

Under his guidance, the museum has amassed a collection of one-of-a-kind train cars representing the pinnacle of railroading culture from several eras.

There is no other collection anywhere else in the world like it.

Anderson is the first to acknowledge the people and organizations that helped gather and restore this amazing collection. But it took a person with singular vision, with a genius for seeing the big picture, to imagine it into being.

Anderson was born in Eastend, Saskatchewan. His father was then hired as a carpenter at the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley. After a brief time there and then Vancouver, the Andersons made their way to Cranbrook. Except for time away to earn a degree in architecture from UBC, Anderson has lived in Cranbrook ever since. At 65, he will retire soon make a complete break from the task that has consumed his adult life. Building the museum has been arduous for all involved. But—by putting it in a remote, culturally cautious town like Cranbrook—has it been a folly?

“No,” Anderson says. “Communities that are more liberal have problems with fads. Cranbrook is more conservative, but once it has weighed an idea and accepted it and adopted it, that idea is likely to stick.

Cranbrook would not exist without the railroad.”

Anderson understands the appeal themed amusement

parks, but at his core, he’s an historian. “Places like Silverwood are an interpretation of what someone’s idea of history is. They are using myth to create entertainment. Places like Fort Steele and the museum understand what honest heritage means to communicate to the next generations, rather than places applying history for tourist appeal. A true museum is not built only on the cultural appeal of today.”

That mix of railroading history and culture has fascinated Anderson since he was a kid. When he was five, his family lived on eighth Avenue in Cranbrook.

Before school, he would walk down to the tracks, through the CPR gardens and past the train station, to watch the passenger trains come in. “When the dining cars went by, I could see the flowers on the tables from down below. And I thought, ‘That’s wonderful. I could eat and go for a ride.’”

And what a ride it has been. When Anderson returned from Vancouver to Cranbrook in 1972, heritage buildings were being torn down willy-nilly.

Churches, the Courthouse, the YMCA, and the Post Office all fell in the name of cinderblock progress.

The loss of the Post Office still rankles locals. “There was opposition but nothing was done because there wasn’t much organization,” says Anderson. The City of Cranbrook received so much flack from citizens over the demolition that it hired Anderson to conduct a heritage report. Based on that report, Anderson and a devoted group of others founded CAMAL, the Cranbrook Archives, Museum, and Landmark foundation. Their next move was to create proper archives. “We needed to build a repository of Cranbrook history in an organized way. Without a proper archives available to house them, private collections from citizens can just disappear.”

After that, serendipity, research and hard work gradually built the museum. Two old books in the new archives taught Anderson about the series of magnificent rolling stock series that travelled through town.

More research and a walk through the CPR scrap yard in Coquitlam led Anderson to the dining car Argyle. It was a scrapped work car, covered in paint and dirt, with smashed windows and a damaged roof.

Five thousand dollars were raised to buy the car for [ Continued on Page 20 ]

THE

GOOD OL’ GOATS Vine Madder talks local music Sitting under some trees on a breezy Saturday, talking about ice cream and donuts, the Good Ol’ Goats seem as if they can’t imagine life any less beautiful than this gorgeous day.

And why not? It was only in February, 2012, when Nolan Ackert, Angus Liedtke and Theo Moore formed the core of what would become The Good Ol’ Goats. More Cranbrook talents joined, first New-Brunswick-transplant Gus MacDonald, then Cranbrook kids Julian Bueckert and Joelle Winkel.

In September, the Goats played a soldout show at The Studio Stage Door to celebrate the release of their debut album, The Train.

The six members roll easily through their history together.

“We’re communally directed, it just changes hands. Kind of like the way Communism should be,” says Moore.

They are fresh and shiny in demeanor, their thoughts are refined through a collaboration of voices, looks, nods and gestures. All seem to be aware it took a lot of people to help them realise this moment. They speak fluidly as a group, picking up a word or finishing a sentence here then there, without any one pushing over another.

Goats’s first album.

Gratitude for their families warms the conversation, with the most nods of appreciation going to Evan Bueckert, Julian’s dad and music teacher at Mount Baker Secondary. Bueckert (the elder) is a committed mentor and produced the

There is no fight for attention here. One listen to The Train gives all the reasons why. Belying their few years, the Goats drive infectious melodies with taut, scratched vocals that sound as worn and

world-wise—and as cohesive—as any touring group.

With influences such as Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, The Tallest Man on Earth and Head and the Heart, this music will slide comfortably into any outdoor festival.

Layers of strings fold around harmonica and vocal lines kicked into urgency by Moore’s caramel bass and Bueckert’s

tight ‘hitting things with sticks’ drumming.

They are telling stories that could have been heard 100 or 300 years ago, in flavours familiar and inviting, served with a spicy new sauce that lingers.

The joy they experience playing together is clear.

So far, Ackert is doing most of the original writing, but the other members are growing in their roles and finding musical inspiration in the trails and mountains around Cranbrook.

Like their leaderless decision-making, the instruments and melodies change hands fluidly. The dynamic creates a texture that—when combined with their technical prowess—is world class.

MARTINI GUNMAKERS STRAIGHT INTO HISTORY, WITH A BULLET Trish Barnes talks craftsmanship

T

urkish walnut trees can live for centuries. They grow across Europe and Asia, and their wood is the top choice for gun stocks. The finest pieces gleam like Tiger’s Eye when polished. And in the serious gun market, distinctive markings make all the difference.

“The most expensive pieces are taken from where the stem goes into the root,” explains Ralf Martini, one of Cranbrook’s two master gun makers who serve the global market for custom-made singleshot and bolt-action rifles.

Martini makes gunstocks using the best blocks of Turkish walnut. He’ll pays up to $2,500 for a piece, but that ensures every rifle he makes has a place amongst the most collectible guns in the world. A longtime gunsmith—someone who repairs and alters guns—Martini has been a master gun maker since 2000, when he earned his stripes as a metalsmith with a firearm submission to the American Custom Gunmakers Guild.

He became a master stockmaker a few years later. He had to submit two firearms each time to the committee of the guild for judgment and scoring points.

“They want two different firearms,” Martini says. “If you put something together that is too easy, you don’t get enough points; they want to see a lot of detail and handwork.

“With me, they quit counting points. I figured if I get in, I might as well get in really good.”

After the initial judging, all the guild members vote on the

16

|

submissions. There was a unanimous vote, which is rare, to accept Martini into the guild.

Martini divides the buyers of his guns into roughly three categories. “Most are hunters,” he says, “most will use their guns, some very heavily, some modestly.” Then there are the personal collectors, the ones who might fire the guns a few times a year.

“Then there are the serious collectors, people who have guns made that they put into their wills to pass on to museums,” Martini says. Martini meets all types at the Dallas Safari Club Show in Texas; and some buyers find him via his website or through online chat rooms.

Now, a Martini Gunmaker Ltd. rifle will set you back anywhere from $14,900 to... well, you decide. You want hand engraving? That’s extra, especially when it’s inlaid with gold. Want a barrel upgrade? (Martini contours and shapes his barrels to suit his own style.) That will cost you more. If you order everything on the menu, you could pay upwards of thirty thousand. Did I mention the waiting list for a Martini gun is three years long? Or that he can make just 10 guns per year—maximum?

“I could keep up, I could hire five guys to help me,” Martini says. “But then the guns would not be signature pieces.”

And, in big game, signature pieces are the name of the game.

Are you a local hunter with a tag for one of those skinny, outside-of-Cranbrook-City-limits deer? Maybe you should stop reading here. Because this is where you’ll probably start to drool.

HOW THE GUNS ARE MADE A Martini gun starts with a simple trace of your hand. Martini needs to know exactly how long your fingers are, how wide your palm, so he can make a gun for you and you only.

Then come the questions: What animals will you be hunting? What calibre bullet will you be using? Scope? Style? Er... budget? Finally, how long are you prepared to wait, because Martini runs the shop of a fine craftsman, calibrated to the time it takes to create perfection, not just product.

The smallest calibre a Martini gun is built for—so far—is a 222 Remington. The largest, a BA 585 Nyati. This bullet is over half an inch thick, and about four times heavier than a 30-06 (thirty-odd-six.) “This is an extremely big and heavy bullet, it weighs 600 grains,” Martini says. “Of course something like this is used only for African big game.”

FALL 2012

When he’s got your order, Martini disappears back into his workshop on the outskirts of Cranbrook. He machines the barrel action, carves the stocks, fits them together and finishes everything by hand.

Martini’s workshop features hundreds of carving and polishing tools and files. Many he machined or modified himself.

“Some of them are for one particular cut,” he says. “You can’t buy them.” He demonstrates how he marks a barreled action with black paste, fits it into the stock he’s carving, lifts it to see where the barrel has touched the stock, goes back and shaves more wood away until he’s got a flawless fit from metal to wood. He’ll work on a stock between 80 to 120 hours.

“The customers who spend such an amount of money for a firearm, they want to see a perfect metal to wood fit, where it [ Continued on Page 18 ] |

|

looks like the metal and the wood was grown together,” Martini says.

However, the wood should always be left “slightly proud” of the metal in certain areas, he says. “This is so the stock can be refinished far into the future.”

During this time, “Some clients leave me alone,” Martini says. “Other ones are always calling, emailing, asking how their guns are going.” To these customers it’s all part of the pleasure, the activity, of collecting.

Martini makes guns in the refined British style, and there’s a huge market for them. His guns are “accurate and functional,” perfectly balanced and beautiful.

“I grew up in Germany, I was interested in hunting and firearms all my life,” he says. (No one in his family hunted.) He started out as an apprentice machinist, has been a military sniper and an outfitter. He immigrated to Canada in 1986, working as a machinist and tooland-die maker in Manitoba. He moved to Fort St. John, B.C. in 1989, where he worked in a large machine shop and as a part-time gunsmith, after hours. In 1996, he resigned his foreman job to form his own company, Ralf Martini Custom Gunsmithing, to keep up with the demand for his gunsmithing services.

He moved to Cranbrook in 2000 to work with Martin Hagn, the old-world master gun maker who lives in town.

“I learned from Hagn the lifelong study of some of the finest guns in the world,” Martini says. Hagn invented and developed a single shot falling block action that’s praised by gun experts around the world.

“My goal is to make the guns seem alive,” he says.

“That the feel of the handle, the look of them, is alive, not like a dead piece of equipment.”

The guns bearing the Martini Ltd. stamp may be few— less than 60 at present—but each one is coveted by someone who values topflight design. These guns will live for a long time.

BOLD VISION FOR BARE WALLS

[ Continued from Page 17 ]

Sioux Browning talks visual art Colours swirl around the figures in Marisa Phillips’s paintings: bold reds, cobalt and moody blacks. The subjects are dynamic and fable-like, their expressions enigmatic; their gestures hint at deep emotional currents. Upon seeing them, one gets the immediate sense that an artist like Frida Kahlo would find the works appealing. It turns out that Kahlo is a major source of inspiration for Phillips, along with Salvador Dali and other surrealists.

“I like the way they use dreams and create other worlds,” she says. “For my own stuff, I fly by the seat of my pants. What I see in my head are colours and flowing shapes.

Sometimes I’ll feel a pull to put a strong colour to work and I’ll go from there.”

18

|

For the most part Phillips works in acrylic on canvas, but she crochets, creates miniature mythic sculptures and works on large public murals as well.

She also expresses herself and the creative minds of tiny clients through facepainting. “Kids have wicked ideas,” she says. “They have such interesting creative minds. One girl I painted recently wanted a rainbow skunk.”

Phillips herself is observant and quiet but she has an underlying sense of cheer that can almost be described as jolly.

This is how she produces works that are both thought-provoking and whimsical. Recurring subjects in her work are strong women, along with environmental topics.

“I feel compelled by environmental issues: The oil sands, (development in) Jumbo. It’s important to connect our spirits to the land. That connection gets lost. Kids don’t know that milk comes

from cows. I want to help get that connection back.”

Often the kernel of a work springs from her journal. A painting she is currently working on started in the words “from blood and earth we come forth.”

“We’ll see what comes of that,” says Phillips. “I imagine a lot of red and dark colours.” The Hindu god Shiva is also a favourite subject, because he represents creation, destruction, revelation and transformation.

Phillips is a member of the St. Mary’s Band of the Ktunaxa Nation. She was born in Terrace, B.C., but moved to Cranbrook with her family when she was young. “My mom (Gwen Phillips) is my first and best inspiration. She doesn’t have a lot of time to paint now but when I was little she had a painting studio in the basement. I had my own little painting area. I’d watch her work and wish that one day I’d become an artist.”

FALL 2012

|

Phillips has brought her own daughter, three-year-old Aurora, to the interview.

Aurora, who has her mother’s bright eyes, has missed her nap but still occupies herself patiently while Phillips talks.

When Aurora is asked if she too is an artist, she looks up from her Pokemon magazine and sighs with a world-weary air: “Yeahhhh.” And it’s true; when Phillips works on large murals, Aurora helps on her own little corner.

At 24 and largely self-taught, Phillips is only at the beginning of an artistic career that she hopes will lead her to a life that is wholly creative. Her goal is to live on a little farm off the grid with an apiary, some sheep, and a studio where she can weave and paint and generally get messy. In the meantime, she spends her time promoting and protecting the Ktunaxa language, one of the most endangered languages on the planet.

And she paints, for herself and for large public commissions.

At the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook, the Aboriginal Space is graced with one of her murals which depicts the Ktunaxa creation story. Laurie Junior Secondary School also commissioned Phillips to do a large mural.

This one depicts spirits connected to the land, plants and the air. It was inspired by a painting Phillips had done earlier: a tree with a watchful eye in it. She loves working on such a large scale but remarks on a perceived timidity in Cranbrook to embrace public art. “Perhaps people don’t know how to go about getting it?” she says.

It’s true that not all art, public or otherwise, will appeal to all people. For her, it’s both nervewracking to have her work on such public display but it also makes her happy that it’s out there.

The large scope and potential for detail delight her. Her colourful imprint will be seen again next year when she completes a mural on the exterior of the East Kootenay Child Care Resource centre in Cranbrook.

“What I do is different from what a lot of artists do in this area. But I like to add colour and lighten things.” She adds, with a smile, “There are a lot of big, blank walls on businesses out there.”

“I wondered if there were other cars out there,” Anderson says. “I found out all I could about the Trans Canada Limited.” Air Canada donated an unlimited cross-Canada pass to CAMAL so museum representatives could search for existing cars. And cars were found, some greatly damaged and some in near museum-quality condition. The search even led to the U.S., where cars were discovered converted into lakeside cabins. It became clear Cranbrook was an important hub for national and international trains.

The train cars are beautiful but sometimes it’s hard to equate their heavy weight, solidity and earthbound nature with fragility. But they are as susceptible to heat, light and atmospheric damage as any work of art. Even the Royal Alexandra Hall, a former CPR hotel café relocated to the museum from Winnipeg, is an artefact. Protecting artefacts while making them available to the public is a balancing act. “A true conservator would put the artefact in a black box to preserve it,” Anderson says. “Other museums might display them in the way that was the most fun and the most accessible to people and they would eventually lose them. These items are one-of-a-kind. Some people might not equate these things with artefacts because it’s inconvenient. But if you want to preserve them for the future, even something that seems as accessible as the Royal Alexandra Hall, they can’t just be used as you wish.

It’s a real tightrope.”

Anderson is an visionary who looks ahead. He’s also a realist, finding ways to make things possible in the face of opposition and constraints.

After 40-plus years devoted to making the museum possible, he’s ready to step away. “The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel isn’t the Garry Museum, though some may think so. I’ve been trying for years to separate my identity from the museum’s.

It’s not always successful.” He wants CMRT to be Cranbrook’s museum, and the province’s, and the country’s.

Truth be told, Anderson’s favourite way to travel is by water. He and his partner plan to see as much of the world as they can by boat. He wants to keep restoring his heritage home and to study music. He understands who he is and what his contributions are. But it’s someone else’s turn to step into the engine.

THE HIGH COST OF SHOPPING OUT OF TOWN ‘Milk Piranhas’ cost Cranbrook more than $5 million every year

T

his past summer in Bellingham, Washington, rude B.C. crossborder shoppers ticked off American shoppers at the local Costco. Why? Canucks eager to buy low-priced dairy products were caught on security footage demolishing tall pallets of milk in a matter of seconds. Their pushy behavior and product-hogging led some Bellingham residents to call for U.S.-only shopping hours at the Costco.

Also, the dairy pillagers have now been branded as ‘milk piranhas.’

This is an extreme example of the hazards of cross-border shopping.

But the fact is, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in the U.S. by British Columbians every year. The Bank of Montreal’s deputy chief economist Doug Barber recently estimated that cross-border shopping could cost the Canadian economy $20 billion every year. That’s $20 billion that doesn’t support Canadian employers and retailers, $20 billion untaxed in Canada and her provinces to support pensions, universities, the armed forces, hospitals, roads, capital projects, charities, non-profits and just about everything else.

Top 7 Reasons why stuff in Canada costs more

regulation hockey pucks, a number that could create a stack of pucks from the ice sheet of our local arena out past the moon.

Here in Cranbrook, retailers lose customers to both the U.S. and to Alberta.

COHERE asks: What are the ramifications locally and what are our options?

Statistics Canada estimates that more than 12 million trips were made to the U.S. by British Columbians in the last year, at an average of $75 per trip. That’s roughly three trips per year by every citizen of our province. If we interpolate those numbers to Cranbrook’s population, that’s about 75,000 trips by our city’’s population, worth approximately $5.6 million last year.

How might Cranbrook be different if that $5.6 million had been spent locally?

Think about it the next time you head south to check out the bargains.

As a comparison, the B.C. government will spend a mere $15.8 billion this year on health care. On a local level, retailers face challenges to keep staff employed and, with lower revenues, are less able to participate with community fundraising, charities and sponsorships.

7) High transportation costs 6) Higher staffing costs 5) Different industry subsidies between countries 4) Suppliers often charge more in Canada than for same product in the U.S. 3) Retailers compensate by charging more in Canada than for the same product 2) Sales tax differs between provinces and states 1) Retailers pay significant import tariffs on finished goods Tariffs: How much are they?

Free Trade Agreements between Canada and the United States did not remove tariffs from the equation. Canadian merchants pay steep percentages on the U.S. goods they sell. The percentages vary from item to item. This year, Canadian retailers paid tariffs up to: • 37% on running shoes • 32% on lawn mowers • 18% on sporting goods • 17% on magazines • 11% on cars • 7% on books But here’s some good news: Barbeques cost slightly less in Canada than in the U.S.

Take that, Uncle Sam!

WINTER CYCLING IN CRANBROOK DON’T LET THE COLD WEATHER PUT A DAMPER ON YOUR LIFESTYLE 1 No-nos: “I wouldn’t recommend

biking on the highway in winter,” Peebles says. “There isn’t enough room on the shoulders.”

2 Clothing: “You can dress for any

So

you want to ride your bike all winter. Who doesn’t? After all, Cranbrook is often sunny through the cold months, and, except after a fresh snowfall, the roads are often dry.

COHERE asked outdoor expert Russ Peebles, of Funhogz Gear Exchange, for winter riding tips.

condition, but it can take practice to get it right. It helps to choose breathable clothing and dress in layers.” Remember to cover your hands with gloves and, if you’re serious, your feet with foot warmers that stretch over your boots. And don’t forget to protect your ears with a toque or headband under your helmet.

3 Visibility: Peebles recommends getting

a lighting kit, one that flashes a white front light and has a red light on the back seat.

“Traffic safety is the biggest concern in winter,” he says, “more than the road conditions.” Ride like you’re invisible, because to most drivers you are.

4 Equipment: Some winter riders invest

in special bikes for the season that have 3-inch wide tires with low pressure to float over the snow. Others take matters into their own hands and stud FALL 2012

store-bought tires with hundreds of bolts. Between these two extremes is Peebles’s suggestion: “Buy an older mountain bike,” he says, “use it for winter riding, and just keep the drivetrain welllubricated. Chain lube is your best friend.”

5 Cautions: Stay off the city roads after

a big dump of snow until the ploughs have had a chance to do their magic.

“Wait a few days after a storm,” Peebles says. “It usually doesn’t take long for the roads to dry up.” Remember that car drivers might not expect to see cyclists, so make sure to ride defensively around town.

6 Technique: You can ride on ice, just

go slower than usual and favour your back brakes. Even better, avoid braking on ice and choose dry patches to do your braking and turning.

And there you have it, die-hards.

You don’t need to ditch riding just because the weather outside is frightful. You can stay fit and live the low-carbon dream all year round in sunny Cranbrook.

¤¤EXPLORE

TANGLEFOOT

Photo: Brad Smiley

The Tanglefoot or Mause Creek area is rich in alpine beauty. It is a 3-hour hike with stunning vistas at the top, including views of Fisher Peak (pictured left.)

Access the trail by driving along Hwy 95 to Wardner/Fort Steele Road. Follow Wardner/Fort Steele Road to Mause Creek Road. Mause Creek Road can be rough on low slung vehicles; be prepared. The trail head marker is about 8 km along. A trail to the left will take you to Fisher Peak, go to the right for the trek to Tanglefoot Lake.

The first 4 kms are generally easy and you’ll pass through the historic Victor Mine site. The next 3-4 hours are more challenging, as the trail steepens, winding through forests and meadows, following Mause Creek. Go quietly over the last shale-covered slope and you may spot a pika peeking out to look at you.

Cliff Lake is about 3 hours past Tanglefoot.
