Weather has been a hot topic as Mother Nature has made herself the talk of the town across the nation for the past month.

This photo was taken Dec. 10 as Town of Pincher Creek work crews dealt with massive amounts of snow around town.

It was a sight to see as snow blasted over 70 feet high, and Jim says people gathered to watch in amazement. To see the rest of his photos please see the online post at www.shootinthebreeze.ca .

My Little Corner

An editorial by Shannon Robin

This Monday was one of my most difficult transitional days back to work after a break because I actually took a holiday.

Our office closed for two weeks to allow everyone much-deserved time off to spend with their families over the Christmas season.

For me, a typical holiday involves working from wherever we are, with my laptop as a travel companion. This time was different.

I lugged my computer along, with the intention of doing one full day of work while home in Saskatchewan. It was turned on once, for a reason I no longer recall, but no work was done.

I made a conscious decision that, with no deadline over my head until the end of month, work wasn’t going to intrude on my family time.

When you’re the one travelling during the holidays, visits are never long enough.

All too soon I was packing up in Nipawin and off to Saskatoon. Time was short there as well, but rather than heading back to Pincher Creek, Dennis and I drove to Calgary and hopped aboard a flight to Cuba.

There we were, two workaholics on the beach challenging ourselves to relax and unwind. I’m happy to say we were successful in turning off the electronics and thoroughly immersing ourselves in the week away.

The closest I came to working was in my choice of reading material. I took along three books by Alberta entrepreneurs Arlene Dickinsen and Brett Wilson.

In the pages I saw glimpses of myself along with warning signs I have recently been paying attention to. The entrepreneurial spirit is part of who I am, and always will be, but it can be a hazardous occupation.

The words were soothing and encouraging, and made me proud of my desire to use my business, from the beginning, to promote community goodwill. While quite different in content, the books seemed a reassurance that our vision for Shootin’ the Breeze is a sound one. There will

never be millions in profit, but it has the potential to make a difference in our region.

On Sunday afternoon I visited the office, and what lay on my desk made me smile. It was a copy of Our Dances with Cas from Cas Freeman.

Inside, she had written my name with a heart around it.

Immediately, I was taken back to the hot August day when so many joined Cas to climb Corner Mountain for Huntington’s Disease.

There was also a thank-you card from one family who benefited from the generosity of another family this Christmas. My role was simply to facilitate the anonymous transaction, and in the end, I am thankful for being included.

Over the course of a week I had the privilege to experience the excitement of one family as they shopped for the perfect gifts, then topped this up with a pantry full of household staples. It was an all-in effort they were thrilled to share.

Then I witnessed the amazement of the receiver who was so genuinely appreciative of everything, right down to the toilet paper.

Together, they touched my heart with Christmas spirit.

I’ve had the great fortune of meeting amazing people and helping to promote events and awareness of causes as they allowed the Breeze to share their journeys. This is the highlight of my work, and what drives me to move forward.

Of course, things continued to move on while we were away, and taking a break always means missing out on something at home.

There are new babies and people are focusing on new hopes and dreams through their personal resolutions. We have much to look forward to in the coming year.

I’ve learned that I can, and need to, turn things off for a while and I plan to do this more often. As things continue to fall into place at the office, I’ll work toward my resolution of tipping the scales to spend more time at home than I do at my desk. Happy New Year!

A taste of charity

By Brad Quarin The student council of Livingstone School in Lundbreck dealt a blow to hunger in December, feeding their peers and supporting the local food banks.

Wednesdays were Warm Your Heart lunch days at the school. Students bought hot lunches, with proceeds divided between the Crowsnest Pass and Pincher Creek food banks.

The new idea came from council, “in the spirit of Christmas giving,” says administrative assistant Tanya Douglas. It was co-ordinated by teachers Mary Krizan and Sue-Anne Uphill.

It proved very successful, as many students took advantage, receiving “popular, kid-friendly lunches” and giving their parents a break.

Student council paid for the groceries with money raised from bake sales and other past events. The meals were then cooked and prepared by staff and students.

Pizza, hotdogs and sloppy joes were served for $3, raising $907, so each food bank received $453.50 to use however they need.

HUDDLESTUN SENIOR CITIZENS NEWS

By Joyce McFarland

Happy New Year! Don’t look back now; the good memories are tucked away safe and warm in our hearts. For the rest, surely we can throw out the dumb stuff and clean up our act by the end of January — that’s what the new year is all about.

Last year, like the rest of society, the Huddlestun Centre had to find new ideas for raising funds and trimming the budget. Changes don’t happen overnight but, now that the year-old executive has cut its teeth, we can see that the right decisions have been made. If there is some fine-tuning needed then Leny Mace, our president, has a brand new gavel ready and waiting.

Throughout December, a small group of ladies planned, baked and worked to deliver the largest bake sale ever at the Co-op Mall for two long afternoons. It was a huge success story and we gratefully acknowledge the hard work, donations and public support that made it all possible.

The regular programs went on as usual. For the first time that I can remember, the centre was closed on Boxing Day as well as Christmas Day. Instead, we served soup and a bun twice during December. This is a win-win program which will continue in the new year if volunteers step forward to make the soup; there are always willing hands to help serve and clean up afterwards.

Two weeks ago, the centre hosted a potluck supper and social evening for members only. The door prize was a huge, fancy basket filled with everything from soup to nuts. Carol VanGilder was the lucky winner.

One of the first Christmas parties held at the centre was hosted by our good friends the Pincher Planters, for their hard working members.

They put on their glad rags and cleaned up their fingernails to partake of a lovely potluck supper, now that the bedding plants were in bed. No wild parties here, just a group of 20 gracious dedicated people who like digging in the dirt.

Also in December, the duplicate bridge club made merry with a potluck lunch before they got serious at the last bridge game of the year.

Since the bridge club forms a sizeable part of our membership, we have requested that they have a representative on the Huddlestun board, and we look forward to their input.

The next board meeting will be held at noon, and the general meeting at 1 p.m., on Jan. 21. We urge all our members to attend and voice your opinions. It is the best way to plan programs and make changes.

Memberships are due for 2014 and, now that the dust has settled after they were increased to $20, most members realize that the buck stops after the rent and insurance. “Incidentals” get a little scary sometimes, too.

Bingo on the last Friday of the month is still on the calendar. Cold weather and bad colds accounted for the small crowd on Dec. 27. With only 10 players, seven people shared the prize money. Connie Brown won the $20 blackout and one game. Leny, Ida, Gerda, Barb and Joyce each won one game and Barb also won the 50-50 draw. Doughnuts and Christmas goodies for coffee time were donated by Sobeys — thanks for everything, you made our day.

The weather has not been kind. Seniors can’t handle mucky streets and howling winds but the January calendars are at the centre when you are able to get there. Cards, pool, games and coffee time are part of the regular programs. Make note of the soup and a bun at noon on Jan. 14. All the executive members have agreed to stand for re-election for one more term, but nominations from the floor will be an integral part of the general meeting. Bingo will be good to go on the last Friday of the month.

Again, Happy New Year to you all, begone dull care; if you can handle this wind you can handle anything.

In loving memory of

Maurice Joseph Cyr Nov. 21, 1954 – Dec. 28, 2013 Maurice Joseph Cyr passed away peacefully on Dec. 28, 2013 at the age of 59. He was born and raised on a farm outside Pincher Creek.

On July 19, 1980 he married Corinne (nee McClain).

They lived on a farm east of Pincher Creek for 12 years and then moved into town. He continued farming for many years, eventually earning his licence as an agricultural equipment technician. In 2008, Maurice moved to High River to take a job as agricultural service manager. He enjoyed camping, hiking and spending time with his family. Maurice was deeply committed to his Catholic faith and was very involved in the church. Over the years he held positions with Alberta Pro Life and parish council. He also led youth groups and Bible studies, and taught RCIA. Maurice was predeceased by his father, Albert. He is survived by his mother, Irene; Corinne, his wife of 33 years; his daughters Kimberly (Brad) Linderman, Rosemary (Luke) Gervais, Sarah (Sherman) Eugene and Amanda Cyr; his granddaughters Rebekah, Miriam, Leah and Sophia Gervais, and Gianna and Natalia Eugene; his siblings Bruce (Jane) Cyr, Francis (Colleen) Cyr, Cathy (Gene) Kowalczyk, Bernadette Cyr, Ken (Leslie) Cyr, Joyce (Morris) Pittman and Paul (Gloria) Cyr; as well as cousins, in-laws, nieces and nephews.

A prayer service was held on Jan. 2, and a funeral mass on Jan. 3, at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in High River. A memorial mass, with interment to follow, will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 8 at 10 a.m. at St. Michael’s Parish in Pincher Creek.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Maurice’s memory to St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, 206 Ninth Ave. S.W., High River, AB, T1V 1A4 or www.sfshighriver.com, or to Wilberforce Project (Alberta Pro Life), PO Box 11479, Edmonton, AB, T5J 3K5 or www.thewilberforceproject.ca.

Goth brothers can fill your needs

By Brad Quarin A new dental clinic, Dentalworks, has opened in Pincher Creek, with dentists and brothers Robert and Kevin Goth extending their practice from Lethbridge.

“We were looking for an opportunity to make a difference in a community outside Lethbridge,” Kevin explains.

“I think that the dentists that are here are doing a great job,” he says, and he feels their new clinic will add to the services available to the community.

“We’re really looking forward to being here,” Kevin says. “Both Rob and I love dentistry.”

The clinic, on the second floor of the Main Street building housing Pincher Office Products, offers general dentistry. This includes cleanings, fillings, orthodontics, oral surgery, root canals and dentures, with one brother sometimes doing what the other can’t. The office also offers Ativan to help relieve patients’ anxiety about the dental procedures.

“We have the ability to do everything,” Kevin says.

The Goths come to Pincher Creek on different days, but one or the other will be here on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The office is open until noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as local staff take phone calls.

Dreaming of your own office?

If you’re wondering how two brothers both wound up in dentistry, it may be more surprising to learn there are actually three of them! Brother Stephen is launching Chinook Oral Surgery in Lethbridge.

Kevin says their dad was a physician, so they were accustomed to “a health-care environment.” Personally, Kevin is drawn to dentistry as “a hands-on field.”

“I like the fact that you can make a difference in someone’s mouth,” he says. It’s satisfying to give people confidence about their teeth, and he likes that no two days follow the same routine.

Rob studied management and computers, but saw Kevin and Stephen’s experiences and took an interest. Kevin’s been practising dentistry for 10 years, while Rob has been practising for two.

The space they occupy in Pincher Creek has housed dentists before, but the Goth brothers had renovations done – repainting, flooring and adding new equipment. “We’re here for years to come,” Kevin says.

The community has responded positively to the new clinic, which is already seeing patients.

Kevin advises anyone with a small dental problem to have it checked out, as small problems can become big, expensive problems.

The Christmas season and new year take on significant meaning for those welcoming babies to their families.

Each year, the Pincher Creek Quilters craft a special quilt to present to the baby born on, or closest to, Christmas Day. This year’s Christmas baby is Francelyn Heaven Red Young Man who arrived Dec. 30, weighing in at six pounds 10 ounces.

Three generations of her family were pleased to accept the handcrafted gift last week.

From left are Jo Baker, secretary of the Pincher Creek Quilters, Gerry-Lynn Red Young Man and Francelyn in the arms of her grandmother, Gloria Red Young Man.

Heather Noble and John Hayes of Coleman welcomed baby Hannah Hayes on New Year’s Day at 9:08 in the morning.

Hannah weighed in at a healthy seven pounds. She is the couple’s first child, and they were excited for her to be the first baby of 2014.

Thanks are extended to many, including Dr. Kristy Penner.

Congratulations to the families of Francelyn and Hannah!

Wayne Pittman Memorial

By Lorne Pultz The annual Wayne Pittman Memorial Cribbage Tournament was held Dec. 8 at the Pincher Creek branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Twenty-four players made up 12 participating teams, with Ron and Margaret Keer taking top honours. Second-place winners were Spring Plante and Daryl Pittman.

The Pincher Creek Legion hosts three memorial crib tournaments each year: the Sami Ulley Memorial Cribbage Tournament, the Cecil Shenton Memorial Cribbage Tournament and the Wayne Pittman Memorial Cribbage Tournament.

Every Wednesday, 24 or more players come out and enjoy an evening of fun cribbage at the Pincher Creek Legion. Everyone is welcome.

For more information please call 403-627-4024.

From left are Daryl Pittman, Margaret and Ron Keer, and Spring Plante.
