Another mine looking for coal in Pass and surrounding area Atrum Coal beginning their mining journey at new location DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
A new coal company is planting its roots in the Crowsnest Pass. Atrum Coal is an Australian listed company on the ASX. It has been involved in the Canadian metallurgical coal development since early 2012. They initially focused on the groundhog coalfield in Northwest BC. In 2013, Atrum began their journey here in a joint venture with Elan Coal before acquiring 100% of the asset early last year. Atrum Coal will be mining north of Riversdale and the Grassy Mountain Project in the Elan South area. The mining location is 13 km
north of Blairmore. Managing Director and CEO of Atrum Coal, Max Wang, says they are thrilled to be in the area. “This is a well-established coal mining community and that's one of the main reasons we put the effort onto this project. We are very excited.” Atrum began their testing process last year drilling 37 holes to confirm the resources and coal quality in the area. This year, Atrum plans to expand that 110 new holes. “Last year we started significant drilling in Elan South to prove we have a significant amount of coal. This year is going to expand the drilling in the area and density of the drilling to increase the re-
source definition and also improve the resource classification and make it more definitive.” Senior Director, Regulatory and Stakeholders, Tony Mauro says Atrum is still very early on in their journey. “We're an exploration company. We are right at the beginning of the exploration stage. We are at the very beginning of many of our relationships. We are at the beginning of data collection for our baseline studies. We are trying to collect the information environmentally so that we can assess the project against it but we don't even know what the project layout is going to be yet because that will be the subject of the drilling that we're hoping
to complete this year.” From a timeline perspective, Wang says Atrum is about two to three years behind Riversdale in the approval process. Wang says they are advancing with the environmental baseline study as well and that this year will be a four-scope environmental baseline study. According to Wang, Atrum takes the environmental side of their work seriously and Wang is happy with how rigorous the Environmental Impact Assessments are in Canada. “This region and really everywhere in Canada people are paying closer attention to resource development. I think we are very

proud to be in Canada where the environmental assessment and process intensity is probably second to none.” The key areas for Atrum’s environmental assessment will include Fisheries and aquatic life, wildlife, surface water and groundwater, air quality, soils and vegetation and human health. Mauro says Atrum has begun their discussions with Treaty 7 Nations as well. “We've started our traditional studies with some of the Treaty 7 Nations, which is really good. We're very pleased that they've joined us and we fully recognize we're on Treaty 7 traditional lands as well.” Mauro says once the
public process has begun, there will be plenty of opportunity for the public to become involved in their plans and that they welcome people to come and tell them what they think. “We are happy to let people know we're here now because we recognize this is the start of a long-term relationship. We want to make sure that we are welcoming of all stakeholders and make sure that they have an opportunity to understand the plans and provide input and feedback to the extent where we can incorporate those comments. We know that it's going to be a long journey to get through but we welcome the ability to engage with all the stakeholders.”

The Simple Raven’s Post by Avner Perl
People who forgot to die. I see people all around me milling around trying to survive, get a better deal or discover the hidden meaning of life. I met a very old person at the town Post Office and stopped for a chat. Often the older people are lonely even when they have extended family and friends. When they are old and have more needs than things to give they are lonely and feel left out. An older person doesn’t move fast enough for the mainstream and is not taken seriously. This older man was a respectable member of our community and left his mark but now felt left out and unable to cope with the modern world. The things he did in his youth were forgotten and he could not cope with the latest technological changes which could have made his life easier. I don’t feel that I am alive he said; I feel like I am just existing. He looked at me through a cloudy gray eye and a tear rolled down on his weathered cheek making its way to his big nose where he wiped it with his sleeve, sniffled and set his face tough. I lived in a different society at one time. We valued the old people for their vast knowledge and often asked them what should be done. There were only a few old people around who survived to very old age and their stored knowledge was considered important. It has changed. Now we view them as surplus in this throwaway society and keep them safe and out of the way. There are some other kinds of old people around who remain in the mainstream. My teenage grandson calls them the “people who forgot to die.” They are not genius and don’t produce miracles. They just keep themselves viable by doing something that gives them a sense of purpose and they never quit fighting. I feel like I need a shot of wisdom so I stop at my local barbershop. The proprietor is as old as my dad and he works every day. At seven in the morning, there is already a lineup, and it remains so until after lunch. The price for an excellent haircut is the same as forty years ago and each customer receives personal attention. It is not a business for old people since there are lots of youth and children waiting. This old man doesn’t advertise or take appointments. He simply works hard, does a good job and charges a fair price. From the Barbershop, I head to a seamstress to shorten a pair of pants. She

has her business in a cozy little mobile home and likes to talk about her past. I can’t stay long since there are people behind me carrying material and notions. It is nearing Grad time and young folks need new dresses. I drive over to the dry cleaners to drop some drapes for cleaning and I am met by a person nearing Ninety. He is smiling and knows his business well. His is one of the oldest businesses in town. Later I pass by his home and see him mowing his lawn. Another example of people who are too busy to give up on life. Why is it that some folks are merely existing and wishing for a swift end, while others are still in the mainstream doing what they always did? Is it a special diet or possibly the pure mountain air and water? There are many possible explanations so I pick one that is closer to my heart. People live or die depending upon what they believe. The people I am looking at are useful to their neighbors, community or town. I watch others who lost their drive for life. Some times they lost their mate and gave up on life. I can sympathize. Others fell onto the conveyor belt of life and are carried on without resistance. As our medical skills improve people can live longer. Some folks live much longer than what was average a hundred years ago. Unfortunately, expectations rarely changed and folks begin to plan death far too early. Society is expecting some steps to happen and dreams often become the reality. I have seen people who had no reason to quit being useful say, I will leave things for the younger generation, make themselves surplus, get sick and die. Others also got sick, changed some habits, got cured and found ways to be useful. They have no time to take steps which bring them towards death. We dream about retirement years before it happens and set our lives up to be carefree. We get our pension, quit all commitments, travel, play golf, or something else and enjoy. All our lives we waited for weekends and holidays and now it’s a way of life. We downsize, do condo living, move to assisted living, submit to long care and die in a hospital bed. It's all pre-scheduled and falls into place automatically. The body follows our expectations and beliefs, or does it? I think that the subconscious mind controls most of what we believe to be “reality” since the creative power of God is in it. It has laws and limits and its full of surprises, but it has great power. I think a human doesn’t have to give up on life unless they want to. If they do, for whatever reason, nature will create the circumstances. The earthly creature in the image of God is not an insignificant victim unless it agrees to be so and we do.

Council discusses the economic future as times change
Community and Regional Economic Support Project underway to provide valuable information
DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
During the GPC meeting on Tuesday, July 16th, council held a discussion around the Community and Regional Economic Support (CARES) Project. The project began with a summary that outlines some of the crucial steps to help resolve challenges the municipality is facing moving forward. The outline includes workforce development, reverse trade shows to provide businesses information what they can do to sell more products and services locally and many more. In addition, the preliminary study provides some additional suggestions to address the top
four challenges facing businesses. From some interviews that have been completed so far, the positives of this area that bring business owners to the Pass are personal and family connections in the area, access to market/customers and the location of being in a mountain community with a good quality of life and recreational opportunities. However, there were also four main negatives and challenges businesses in the Pass face. Those challenges are access to workforce and talent, housing and real estate availability, government regulatory process and the confusion of having five separate commu-
nities identifying as one area. During the discussion on this, Councillor Sygutek said that she saw one main problem she’d like taken care of. “The thing that was glaringly obvious to me was the comment about our ability in our development department and how we need to streamline that and get that actually up to date.” Councillor Sygutek also said she liked that a consultant was brought in during this process and that she is okay with the municipality spending some money on this topic to ensure the municipality survives this process. Sygutek also brought forward how scary this situation currently is for
the community. “I find this quite frightening. I think we've got big change coming and we're not prepared for it. We're not ready for what's coming at us. We're all talking about the same thing but there's no solution in place. We need someone to help us get the solutions.” Councillor Filipuzzi agreed with Councillor Sygutek. “We've got a big challenge ahead of us and we have to pick up our feet and get going and meet it because it means a lot to this community and it means the future of this community.” Filipuzzi also says he doesn’t want to see the council sit on this information for too long and
that help may be needed to complete this. “I want to take what she put front and centre in this little report and start finding some ways to action it because we can't sit on this. We've got to take this and move forward and we're going to need help doing this. We won't be able to do this on our own.” Councillor Ward agreed with Filipuzzi but also warned against going into this process too quickly and says more detail would be useful. “I think there is a sense of urgency here but I don't want to go too fast because I've seen that in the past and the mistakes that's led to. We do have issues and problems here. If the mine starts next
year there's going to be pressing issues. I'd like to see us have that conversation and weave this into our strategic plan. I'd like a lot more detail. We need discussion and we need detail.” The discussion continued and Councillor Glavin brought up the fact that these challenges are something the municipality can start addressing later this summer. “We're going to be prioritizing our strategic plan in August and I think the top four in that report is what we need to be working on.” Council will continue this process over the next weeks and months in attempt to find ways to improve the Crowsnest Pass.

by David Selles Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been watching the new season of America’s Got Talent. This year, there is a young singer named Sophie Pecora who has been singing songs she wrote through the first two rounds. Her songs are all about bullying and how it can affect people. One stretch of lyrics from her first audition song “7th Grade” says this: “How do these people that don't know me hurt me so bad? I might just be too sensitive; why am I always so sad? But all day I hide my sadness way deep down inside my heart. And if I show it to anybody, they would rip it all apart. No, we’re not paranoid, just grown to be aware. If they act all nice at first and even save you up a chair. What do they want? This is a trick, this is a trap. I can’t go on, hide in the bathroom till they’re gone. No way someone would actually want me. I was torn down in the 7th grade. All the things people used to say it stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me. My heart used to beat until the 7th grade it's getting hard to even say anything, it stuck in my mind, now it'll come for me.” These lyrics show just how much some kids are going through in school and the life around them. Her audition was one of the most emotional and opened millions of eyes of people watching around the world. Fast forward to the Judge Cuts episode aired on July 16th, Sophie again sang a song of her own and had a few lines about kids facing bullying again. “Might not have found their safe place yet. Maybe searching around on the Internet. No luck though all they see is perfect images of perfect people perfectly posing in front of their perfect house with their perfect family. What’s that about? Nothing more than just a picture on their phones. Someone else’s beauty doesn’t take away from your own.” That whole idea of people with the seemingly perfect lives posting on social media does more damage than we may think. Personally I don’t think it means people are insecure or too soft which they may be labeled as. It simply means that only showing people everything good about you is harmful to everyone involved because if all a person does is post perfect photos and never posts anything real, they’re just lying to themselves and everyone around them. We need more awareness around this subject and we need to find a way to be more real with people and show others who we truly are. Let’s try and be as real as possible people. It’s beneficial for everyone involved.

Council Briefs david selles Pass Herald Reporter
HOLIDAY See YOu In twO weekS Just a reminder that the Pass Herald is closed for two weeks! Yes two whole weeks of a break for my staff and myself. I plan on sitting on the deck in my beautiful yard drinking Ice Tea, with perhaps a hint of rum. I plan on doing fun things with Quinn all week. We’ve planned out game nights, tennis matches, paddle boarding, fishing and hiking. I just want to spend time with him, as much time as I can. This big boys are working at the pool, so it’s just Quinner and me. I plan on volunteering for the Teddy Bears’ picnic at the Crowsnest Museum during Doors Open and Heritage Day weekend, mostly because it’s a small way to give my time back to this beautiful community and hard working volunteers but also because the co-ordinator is my son’s amazing girlfriend and she’s going to do a great job. I plan on stopping to just smell the roses, take stock of life and just breathe. When I ran for council I didn’t honestly think it would take up so much of my time. Everyone warned me but for some reason I don’t remember it being that busy for my mom. Apparently it was. It’s hard to run a business, represent your community and be the best mom you can. My kids deserve that and more and sometimes it’s a tightrope hoping I’m not missing something for them for the sake of my community. So I’ll end this saying thank you for allowing us a break, thank you for reading the Pass Herald and here’s to a two week break for me and my kids. LS

During the GPC meeting on Tuesday, July 16th, council discussed the following topics. wCB for third Parties Council discussed how to move forward with WCB for third parties and were presented with five different options for WCB for third parties. They were as follows: 1) Status quo, do nothing different, continue to insure the groups on the WCB account at present. 2) Direct administration to get a legal opinion on the liability of adding (and not adding) additional groups to our accounts so that we fully understand our risk. 3) Direct administration to create a policy on what groups we will insure on WCB such as groups that operate on Municipal land or are partnering on projects with the Municipality. 4) Advise third party groups (new and current) to get their own WCB account. 5) Advise third party groups (new and current) to get their own WCB account and off set the cost with a grant. Administration also mentioned that it is recommended that the municipality not have third party groups, new or current, where the municipality doesn’t control the work, verify the training and/or oversee safety of the workers due to the liability involved. A possible option as well to help offset cost brought forward by administration, was a grant. Council didn’t make any hard decisions at the meeting and will continue to look at this topic in the future. Community Parks and trails Bylaw Council held a discussion based on the use of Ebikes on trails. Councillor Sygutek brought up safety concerns regarding speed of the bikes on the trails. Mayor Painter added to the discussion that neighbouring cities have put bylaws in place allowing E-bikes on trails. Part of the discussion revolved around how hard it would be to police people using E-bikes on
trails if the municipality were to not allow them. According to council, part of the municipality’s problem is the trail sizes are too small to comfortably fit multiple different users passing each other. Council decided after the discussion they would allow the use of E-bikes on trails while Councillor Sygutek says she doesn’t think E-bikes should be allowed on the ski hill trails. Crow Snow Riders Council discussed what they would like to do regarding a change to the operating grant for CrowSnow Riders. The current arrangement is that non-employees are operating the municipality’s equipment without any oversight to protect the municipality’s liabilities. Administration would recommend that the equipment be turned over to the CrowSnow Riders and that their operating grant be increased equivalent to what was previously being spent on insurance and registration. Following that recommendation, council asked administration to sit down with CrowSnow Riders to discuss this further. turtle Mountain Restricted Zone Council held a discussion surrounding the current Restricted Development Zone around Turtle Mountain. Administration reported to council that they have been in contact with BGC Engineering to discuss what it would take to update the risk assessment for Turtle Mountain since the last report was completed in 2000. Since the monitoring program began in 2003, the understanding of the geohazard scenarios at Turtle Mountain has significantly evolved and several aspects of BGC’s 2000 report are no longer current. These include: • The interpretation of the failure mechanisms has been refined • The potentially unstable volumes have been updated • Modern run out modeling techniques have been developed, which improve empirical relationships used in the past • Secondary hazards,
including landslide dam impoundment upstream of the dam, and outburst flooding downstream of the dam were not considered • The inventory of elements at risk is no longer current The objective of the proposed rock avalanche risk assessment of Turtle Mountain is to update BGC’s 2000 assessment report incorporating the updates and innovations listed previously. The proposed scope of work includes a rock avalanche analysis, run out modeling, and analysis of a potential landslide dam flood and outburst flood, a risk assessment, and the development of conceptual risk reduction strategies. The timeline to complete the project would ideally be early August with fieldwork occurring in September prior to snow accumulating on the ground. An interim report would be submitted in February 2020 and the final report in August 2020. Administration says the cost estimate for this project is around $200,000. Councillor Sygutek says it’s important that council continue moving forward with this. Councillor Ward says that he understands the concerns but that he wouldn’t vote to spend $200,000 on this project and says that he would rather see council go back to the study that was done. Ward says the council at the time this was put in place aired on the side of extreme caution and that there is the idea of moving the restriction closer to avoid having any problems for homeowners in the area. This topic will return to council in August or September. Frank wastewater treatment Plant update The municipality is continuing to struggle with raising enough funds to make the much-needed upgrades and repairs to the Frank Wastewater Treatment Plant. Council is currently about $8,000,000 short in funds for the project. The issue of funding was raised with a meeting with the Minister of Alberta Transportation at the 2018 AUMA Convention. He indicated that the Municipality should apply for both the AMMWP and ICIP grants
and then he could see what he could do. Administration checked into the applications, and at this time, was told that Alberta’s decisions related to the endorsement of ICIP projects for submission to the Federal government are tied to Provincial budget processes, which includes reviewing ICIP projects. They anticipate having more information to share regarding the status of the municipality’s submission before the end of the calendar year. The municipality has been asked to submit an addendum form if anything has changed since our submission, which Administration is reviewing at this time. Any tenders awarded, contracts signed, and costs incurred prior to the federal approval are ineligible through ICIP. To further complicate matters, if we do any significant change from our current design, we will have to start the AEP approval process again. At this time Administration is recommending that the municipality continue with the current project scope and continue to explore possible funding sources. new Recreational Facility Council was presented the opportunity to state what their wishes would be for the location of a new recreational facility. Council was given three options for location including building a new facility at the Albert Stella site, building adjacent to either the MDM or the Sports Complex or choosing an entirely new area. The majority of Council said they would like to see a facility built by the Sports Complex to allow for maximum use as it’s an area that will be seen by people driving through the Pass. Council was also presented an opportunity to give their wish list of what they’d like to see inside the new facility. Most of council agreed that a new Fieldhouse, along with meeting rooms, a running track and fitness areas would be the best. There will be much more discussion on this in the future.

Doors Open & Heritage Festival 2019 Doors Open Preview DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter
Preparation is underway again for the 14th annual Doors Open and Heritage Festival. This year’s theme is Coal Town Culture and Ian McKenzie, a volunteer with the Crowsnest Heritage Initiative that coordinates the festival, says this theme will bring out some different history of the Pass. “This year our theme of Coal Town Culture is intended to cover some of the more cultural aspects of Crowsnest Pass even from a heritage perspective or even from a modern perspective. We have quite a long history of culture, music, art and literature in the Pass and we just thought we'd celebrate it this year.” McKenzie also says there will be a new addition to the festival launch event this year. “Our launch event is always popular and it's becoming even more popular with the involvement of the Heritage Youth Theatre. This year they, along with elements of the Crowsnest Pass Chamber Orchestra will be presenting almost a
fashion show called living portraits as part of our launch event.” According to McKenzie, there is always a fairly solid amount of the community that get involved. “I would say there's probably a dozen separate entities that take part in this. Some of them take part every year and every year we get new ideas and new participants.” There will be some new events that centre more around this years theme as well. “Because

There are a variety of activities for kids to take part in.” A lot of the events taking place over the weekend are free for people to attend.

From the Doors Open and
Heritage Festival Brochure
Coal Town Culture – it sounds like an oxymoron. Some people think that Crowsnest Pass a century ago was just a series of dirty towns – and they’d be right. Some think of it as ‘disaster alley’, the site of violent events including huge landslides, mine explo-
sions and shootings – and they’d be right too. Others think of labour unrest and violent strikes – also right. With all that going on, who had time for culture? It turns out, almost everybody. Many of the people here at the beginning of the twentieth century were immigrants from the cultural hot-

houses of Europe. Far from their familiar homes, folks naturally banded together in their new settings, and reinforced common bonds of food, dance, costume, music, and customs, sometimes by forming ethnic societies. Smaller ethnic groups from Asia and other places also brought in influences, much of which is undocumented and unremembered. There were a great number of musical bands in the Pass, including duos, quartets, dance bands, full string orchestras, and brass marching
bands. Swiss-born Walter Moser could have lived anywhere in the world, but he settled in Hillcrest and spent the rest of his life teaching music to students from Lethbridge to Cranbrook, and not a few in the Pass. The oldest amateur symphony in Alberta still practices and performs here. Our annual music festival was started in 1925. The Gushul Studio in Blairmore was once the finest photographic studio between Winnipeg and Vancouver. Thomas and Lena Gushul were self-taught photographers
who took both formal and spontaneous photographs, and documented Pass life for several decades, starting in about 1920. Our local museum archive has over ten thousand Gushul prints and negatives, and thousands more reside in the Glenbow and Galt museums. Today their studio operates as an artists’ retreat run by the University of Lethbridge. In the 1920s through to the 1930s, Crowsnest Pass was visited by travelling Chautauqua shows, where doses of European culture were presented in
skits, songs, and recitals. There were also frequent visits by traveling symphonies, theatre troupes and dance bands. Crowsnest Pass once had three opera houses and a number of dancehalls, and later had four movie theatres. When it comes to cultural history, we don’t take a back-seat to anyone. Today our public art gallery is augmented by several artist’s studios and collectives, a dance academy, talented musicians, and a handful of published authors and poets.

unexpected places. Take for example the life-sized figure atop the cenotaph next to the Coleman Legion. Most Canadian cenotaphs with sculptures are bronze or stone depictions of First World War soldiers, but Coleman’s is a World War Two infantryman made from concrete, and is in color, which may be unique. This fine figure dates from 1966 and was sculpted by an artist better known for his paintings and rustic carvings on cowboy and native themes. Jack Fuller was born in 1900 on a horse ranch near Innisfail and was a cowhand and horseman for much of his life, and was a self-taught artist although he briefly
studied art in New York in 1926. Fuller helped with the life-sized diorama figures in the Luxton Museum in Banff, but
the Coleman cenotaph sculpture is his only large solo work. This striking piece of public art continues to turn heads today.

Looking Back
By John Kinnear
Life with Max Part 1
For the first ten years that I lived in Fernie (1981 -1991) my life was blessed with the friendship of a special canine companion who was always at my side. A fiercely protective yet mellow type, he devoted his entire time with me to me, unswervingly and the pain of his loss still lingers with me some twenty eight years later. How he came into my life is an amusing story that reads more like a wildlife adventure and I thought I might reshare it with you the readers. In the spring of 1981 my wife, Lorraine, decided we should own a "Ragdoll" cat and set about finding a breeder. Ragdoll's are a special breed of feline with fur like a soft rabbit, markings like a Siamese and an incredibly even temperament. A breeder by the name of Bob Yokety was located and we were invited to come and view an eight week old litter of these sweet fur balls. Their location was at a place called Langdon just outside of Calgary and we were informed that the gate to his acreage would be left unlocked for us when we got there. We were also told that he was a breeder of other exotic animals and that we shouldn't be surprised by what we found there. Well, we weren't really surprised when we got there, we were dumfounded. Once through the eight foot chain link fence gateway and part way down a 300 foot driveway we were greeted by a very loud and annoyed African lion named Livingstone. Livingstone was securely penned of course but his size and menacing roar completely unnerved the both of us. "Livy" as his owner called him was the last remnant of a large cat collection that had been seized from a local vet by the government and somehow Livy had come to live with Bob. We felt it prudent to move on quickly by him and as we hurried past this bellowing, spraying cat I felt my knees buckle and I dropped abruptly to a seated position. There appeared before my eyes then a very large, powerful looking pair of dogs who did not bark but merely stood in front of me and wagged their tails. They were the owners Bullmastiff's, Josephine and Max, an awesome twosome who judiciously guarded his exotic collection but who thankfully recognized us as approved visitors. Bullmastiffs are a manmade breed, a deliberate cross between an English Mastiff (200 lbs.) and a Bulldog (60 lbs.) that English Lords used to use to guard their property from us poaching Scottish lowlanders. The breeding gives a 140 pound dog with some of the massiveness of the mastiff's size and the powerful front end and some of the aggressiveness of the Bulldog. They are sometimes referred to as "night dogs" as they can appear suddenly and silently in front of you. They also know a neat little trick where they shoulder you at the back of the knee, kind of like your high school buddies used to do, causing your unprepared leg to buckle. It is designed to bring you abruptly to their level. Such was my fate that day. This mass of Mastiff's joyfully escorted us the rest of the way to the owner's double wide trailer. Another unnerving sight beheld us on the way to his house then, that being a wheelbarrow with a dead calf in it. This we were informed later was to be Livingstone's dinner, the calf having passed away prematurely and donated to Yokety by a nearby farmer. As we approached the front step "lop eared" rabbits scattered in one direction and guinea fowl strutted away nervously in the other. The guinea fowl he later claimed were sold to fancy Calgary restaurants where they were served clandestinely as "pheasant under glass". The lop eared rabbits? Well let’s just say I didn't have the nerve to ask! As we stood on the front step waiting for the owner we were treated to a roof top display by a beautiful blue peacock who was perched there proudly for all to see. His spectacular "fanfare" was, we were told later, not for our benefit but for a gopher behind us in the yard that the peacock was quite enamoured with. Every time that Richardson's ground squirrel would sit up on his mound that frustrated peacock would display his finery in the most inviting way he knew how. On entering the front door of this mini-zoo we were confronted by a three month old black panther cub named "Slinky" who had managed to reach the size of a medium sized dog with the help of two of the owner's other pets. When Slinky was born his captive parents immediately rejected him, an act quite typical of a lot of wild animals bred in captivity. Slinky was raised for the first few weeks by the female ragdoll cat who was of course nursing her own litter at the time. When he outgrew the ragdoll clan he was transferred to the bullmastiff female, Josephine, who was also nursing a litter of pups. Thus Slinky was elevated to the weaning stage by the amazingly uncontested cooperation of a cat and a dog. Slinky's growling cry and lanky nature were quite comical to watch as he prowled about the house looking for some action. As he wandered off I noticed a plastic dog kennel in the living room with its door set facing up against the wall. On inquiring Mr. Yokety informed me that it contained an albino skunk named "Pete" who was being punished for systematically dismantling the living room drapes. A peek inside revealed a pure white, de-scented skunk with beady red eyes and an expression that had trouble written all over it. Next to Pete's kennel there was a floor heating duct that was taped closed and on glancing around I noticed that many other vents in the house were also sealed off. Considering what we had seen so far I knew that there was some significance to this act and so I wasn't all that surprised by Yokety's explanation. His 6 foot boa constrictor, a pet he referred to as his "main squeeze", had escaped into the house's heating system and all of the vents but one had been taped off for some time. The rational was simple really. There was only one way out and when that boa got hungry enough he would eventually show up at the only open register. Needless to say my wife politely refused to take a seat. As we stood in the doublewide's small kitchen I casually asked where Slinky's parents were kept. Bob pointed to a small kitchen window that had chain link against it's outside and informed me they were out back. As I stepped closer to that window he called to them in a demanding voice by name. "Simba, Sheba"! As I peered through the chain link my heart was in my throat as I found myself face to face with a fully grown black panther who had lithely leapt up that chain link to my eyelevel. I don't think I'll ever forget looking into those sinister black pools set on that large whiskered face. I also remember thinking how wrong it was to have these beautiful wild cats penned up halfway around the world from their home. For some time we observed the ragdoll kittens and eventually made our selection. Bob then offered to show us Josephine's litter of bull mastiff pups which were outside next to the pen of an Eastern Cougar. I wasn't prepared emotionally or financially for what happened next but suffice to say one of them done stole my John Kinnear photos top to bottom: heart.

Crockets Trading Company - Shopping for More than Just a Gift? BRING HOME MEMORIES! Home of the 7.5 foot Grizzly Bear - Photo Op! In January 2000 the idea of a gift shop began. Then what would it carry? The two years prior to opening Crockets my husband David & I went to many gift shows, where we discovered the Crockets theme. May 2002, the dirt work and construction began. Six months later with humble beginnings, the doors opened. So many locals came to explore Crockets. Truly so grateful, then and now for all your support and encouragement. Early in the journey I recall my reply in a conversation and it still rings true today. "This is not about me, nor is it about the business; it is about a Community." Community is Common Unity. Over the years it has been a joy to work with individuals, groups and other businesses. A fun time and example of community was working with Stewart and Akiko with Rivers Edge Log Works. We would sit down after each gift show ensuring we did not have the same products, we became such a compliment to each others business and both a success. Crockets has grown and changed over the years with many experiences. We have found hidden gems of accomplished local, Albertan plus Canadian: Authors, Artist and Artisans. It is exciting and an honour to have these talented individuals' work available for people to bring home and to gift. It is so satisfying to hear the compliments of people with their treasures from Crockets eclectic collection! The sweetest highlight for me is the Staff at Crockets, they are unparalleled - with integrity and excellence! Without them it would be impossible to be Crockets. Great appreciation to all our community near and far, from Crockets.
