My Little Corner

An editorial by Shannon Robin

The other day I flipped through the pages of a 2014 calendar, pulled out a pen and started the yearly ritual of marking special days. Despite many time-tracking electronic devices at our disposal, this calendar, coloured with family events, has earned it’s place on the fridge.

Adding special days, by hand, to a simple calendar is an old habit I’m not keen to break.

Typing a date into my online calendar doesn’t cause me to stop and reflect about what I’m writing the way I do when I’m listing events with pen in hand. With the physical limitations of the small calendar squares, you also tend to think carefully before committing anything to ink.

As birthdays and anniversary dates take their place on the new page, I find myself thinking about each person as I write their name.

Years sneak by and suddenly special occasions like my husband’s 50th birthday and my daughter’s first day of Grade 12 have snuck into the coming year’s edition.

Each January, these dates are pulled from my memory as I begin to fill the blank pages. Some elicit a smile as I imagine how a friend will celebrate a milestone, while others lead to pause for reflection when the anniversary marks a loss.

Years ago, my calendars acted as a diary of sorts. I recently had a nostalgic evening sorting through such things from an old filing cabinet and was glad for the notes and reminders.

There wasn’t a family calendar on the fridge door last year. I felt I was too busy to make the effort to keep up this longtime ritual. Instead, I tried to rely on one calendar shared between my computers, phone and iPad. This wasn’t overly helpful when other people also needed to know what I was doing and expected them to do.

There were a few conversations that began with, “I’m sure I told you about this, but it doesn’t matter now, we need to be ready in 10 minutes.”

A few things were forgotten because this work-focused calendar included events I needed to attend, things I hoped to do and general community happenings. Among the mix were personal appointments and other things I sometimes unsuccessfully attempted to remember.

For me, this didn’t work. I began missing things in the abyss of the endless online calendar.

I was missing the connection that happens when you think and write at the same time.

There’s actually a scientific basis behind what I’ve known for a long time – if you write it down you are more likely to remember something than if you type it.

Part way through the year I came up with an initial solution. I created a custom daytimer and went back to writing the most important things down. Over the years I’ve spent countless hours trying to find the perfect book, and at times came close, but they were never quite right.

An advantage to owning a print shop is having the tools at my disposal to design the pages to my liking, tweak as necessary and put it all together in a nice coil binding. Voila! A perfect book for my business and personal needs combined is now a companion of mine.

The family calendar is also back on the fridge.

My focus this year is to put my family first and foremost after two busy years building a new business. There will always be some conflict between personal and work time, but creating clearly visible distinctions on the blocks of the calendar works well for me.

The other calendar I refer to on a regular basis is the second-last page of each weekly Breeze.

The number of things going on, even in the slow month of January, never ceases to amaze me.

If you haven’t checked out the calendar on the Breeze website, think of this the next time you’re looking for something to do. Here you’ll find all the details and, if it’s been passed on to us, contact information for the events you see in print. An interactive map feature can even help you find your way to the events.

We’re fortunate to live in an area where strong volunteerism and commitment mean there are always interesting things to do.

I hope your 2014 calendar is loaded with special activities with family and friends and that you have the opportunity to take advantage of the many events in our area this year. Remember to mark your calendar!

The Breeze Mailbox Community thank you The following letter, addressed to ShirRae Riehs of Mirror Mirror Salon in Pincher Creek, was shared with Shootin’ the Breeze.

When we found out we were expecting triplets, we did not know exactly what to do or what to think. We just continued on, best we could, trying to find our way and hoping that all of the pieces would eventually line up. There were times that the stress was a lot to bear. However, we have been incredibly fortunate with this pregnancy.

We can say that Tracy has now reached 31 weeks pregnant, and has yet to be hospitalized nor has she had any major issues to speak of, which is something of a miracle in itself when it comes to triplet pregnancies, and for that, we are incredibly thankful.

We were, however, not anticipating the most incredible gift that could ever have been received this Christmas. That was the gifts gathered and received by yourself and your staff. It was the Christmas miracle we needed to help us out and lift our spirits.

Words cannot begin to express the amount of gratitude we have for yourself, your staff, the Town of Pincher Creek and its residents who graciously donated to help us with the triplets.

The diapers, clothes, money and gift cards were unbelievable and gave us an incredible head start in gathering the items required for the triplets, which, prior to Christmas were next to nonexistent. We were, and still are, moved to tears when we think of all of the people who selflessly took the time to donate to help our growing family, providing us with many of the items we need and just in time.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and in this case it took the incredible generosity of the Town of Pincher Creek and fantastic businesses such as Sobeys, Ford, Mirror Mirror Salon, along with the local publication Shootin’ the Breeze, which allowed you and your staff to tell our story and ask for the assistance of the public in gathering donations, and for that, we are forever grateful.

We will never, ever forget what the residents of Pincher Creek, and particularly Mirror Mirror Salon, have done for us and our family. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Cattle drive is a Canadian signature experience

By Brad Quarin If certain things say Alberta, the cattle drive is one.

That experience is being offered by Sierra West Cabins and Ranch Vacations, owned by Randy and Ginny Donahue, north of Lundbreck on Highway 22.

“We want to share our heritage with the world,” Ginny says. “We create a very unique experience, something that people are wanting to do.”

The Sierra West Frontier Cattle Drive is now recognized by the Canadian Tourism Commission as a Canadian Signature Experience, an adventure creating amazing memories. It is one of only 28 programs so recognized this year, four of which are from Alberta.

“It’s very rewarding, for sure,” Ginny says. “We’re very, very honoured.”

It’s another feather in their cap, after previously being named an Alberta Story by Travel Alberta in summer 2012.

The cattle drive certainly appears to meet the standard of creating amazing memories for guests to the ranch, who get to ride horses and move the cattle.

“This was one of the things on my bucket list and I feel like a boy today,” says visitor Robert Wood.

“I get a chance to leave the office and experience something that is completely different,” says another, Shelley Jones. “It’s wonderful. It’s such a great escape.”

Randy and Ginny are both from the area. Randy purchased the cattle ranch in 1979 and Ginny, a photographer, has lived there since 1991.

Looking to branch out, they began offering experiences to visitors in 2001. They had a visitors’ cabin and an antique store on the land. “It started taking off and mushrooming,” Ginny says.

The antique store was converted into another cabin and Cowtown

was built in 2009, with Longhorn Saloon at the centre. Longhorn isn’t really a saloon, but a meeting place where meals are sometimes served.

Over the years, they’ve had Canadian All-Girls Rodeos and ranch roping at Sierra West, and have hosted weddings, family gatherings and business retreats.

One year, during the Ride to Conquer Cancer, bicyclists came to Sierra West all the way from Calgary. The ranch had 3,500 visitors that day and fed 2,500 in six hours, Ginny says.

The cattle drive is a necessary function at the ranch for grazing cows, and since 2005 visitors have been allowed to join in. There’s a lot of demand to participate, and cattle drives are held twice a year, in July and August.

Ginny believes the cattle drive appeals to people who wish to go back to the past. They may have ridden horses when young, before leaving their farms. To some, being outdoors in the mountains may be the appeal. The cattle drive has drawn participants from Ontario, Australia, Switzerland and many other places, and feedback has been overwhelming.

The Donahues applied to the Canadian Tourism Commission for recognition as a Canadian Signature Experience after reading a commission newsletter. It was quite a process, as they went through a long questionnaire, sent pictures and made changes to satisfy certain requirements.

They talked to a travel writer over the phone and created a landing page for their website.

They were named a Canadian Signature Experience in late November.

It’s possible Sierra West may see more expansion and the addition of a third cattle drive. Their main goal, Ginny says, is to “keep the ranching and western way of life up and going.”

Ski with the bunny rabbits

By Brad Quarin Parents looking to introduce skiing to their little ones can register for Crowsnest Pass Cross-Country Ski Association’s bunny rabbit program before Friday.

The program, returning for a second year, is for children aged three to five and their families, to give them a taste of cross-country skiing.

“It encourages kids to get outside in the winter,” says Deb Whitten, president of the ski association.

Children find out what wearing skis feels like, how to move with them and how to get up when they fall down. They have fun with their families and each other, and in the process make friends they can go skiing with.

The program is led by two certified coaches, as well as parents who encourage their children and sometimes bring hot chocolate and cookies.

When young ones five and under learn to ski, they are called “bunny rabbits” by the Cross Country Canada organization. This contrasts them with the jackrabbits, aged six to 12, who are named after Herman (Jackrabbit) Smith-Johannsen, the man who introduced cross-country skiing to Canada.

The program will run on Saturday mornings from Feb. 8 to March 1 at Allison-Chinook Recreation Area, and costs $15 per child or $60 per family.

Equipment will be provided if needed. To register, call Sarah Nurcombe at 403-563-8405 or Deb at 403-562-8224.

The Breeze Mailbox Teck supports youth Teck Coal recently announced its continued support of the Boys and Girls Club of Crowsnest Pass through a $25,000 donation. The funding was directed toward the 2013-14 after-school program, now underway.

“This level of ongoing support is critical to our continued operations in the Crowsnest Pass,” says club president Scott Warris. “Teck has certainly made a serious commitment to the kids of our community through this funding. This is their second year specifically supporting the after-school program and is in addition to many other areas of support to the club, such as radio advertising, fundraising campaign sponsorship and mine-site tours for the kids. We are very grateful to Tammy Ogden and her department for considering us again this year.”

The funds will be used for operating costs such as staff wages, rent and transportation. Most of the program budget is financed through private and corporate donations, federal, provincial and municipal grants, United Way, various southern Alberta Foundations, the Boys and Girls Club of Canada and many local volunteers.

Meet the miners In a few short months a very important centennial will take place in Crowsnest Pass. On June 19 we will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Hillcrest Mine Disaster, an event that has left an indelible mark on our community.

On June 19, 1914, 235 men went underground at the Hillcrest Mine. Only 46 came back out of the mine that day — 189 men lost their lives in Canada’s worst underground mine disaster. Since Dec. 12, Crowsnest Museum has been paying homage to the men who died 100 years ago, by featuring each of them on our social-media streams and sharing a glimpse of who they were and their unique lives.

On Facebook you can like the Crowsnest Museum, Gift Shop & Archives page. On Twitter, you can follow @CrowsnestMuseum, and also search #hillcrest100 for all the Hillcrest Mine Disaster centennial postings and updates.

Please feel free to comment and post, especially if you have any information about the person we are highlighting that day. We hope that by featuring all 189 men for 189 days we will all get a deeper appreciation for the importance of the centennial we are about to commemorate.

Blaine, Gina and MaryAnn Marr of YU Cattle Company in Twin Butte

Stewards of the land

By Brad Quarin This year’s family farm award at the Pincher Creek and District Chamber of Commerce Awards of Excellence went to the Marr family of Twin Butte.

Blaine and MaryAnn Marr have been running YU Cattle Company for 20 years, and this was their first time nominated.

“We try to be really good stewards of the land, for both our cattle and for wildlife,” Blaine says.

The goal is sustainability — keeping the land naturally, and being able to pass it on to their children. This may explain why the family received the honour.

Still, it was a surprise for the Marrs, who note some “pretty stiff competition.” They received many congratulations from friends and neighbours.

MaryAnn, Blaine and their daughter Gina do everything at the ranch, including moving their cattle, helping deliver calves and harvesting hay.

They have about 250 cows, and raise calves to auction off to feedlots in Lethbridge and Pincher Creek.

Wacey, Blaine and MaryAnn’s son, manages a larger ranch in British Columbia.

“I’m a third-generation rancher,” Blaine says. His grandparents homesteaded in the area in 1900, and he ranched with his dad and brother for Spearpoint Cattle Company, which was incorporated in 1972.

In 1993, Blaine and MaryAnn branched off as YU Cattle Company. The name simply comes from the YU brand they put on the cattle.

There are good times in ranching, Blaine says, especially “nice, sunny days in the spring,” when all the calves are running around “like kids in a playground” and the grass is green. Then comes the fall, when the calves are fattened for the market.

Challenges include dealing with snowstorms, droughts and floods. The floods last June wrecked some fences at the YU Cattle ranch.

Cattle prices fluctuate and, since the cattle are auctioned off, Gina and Blaine say there’s some “anxious stress” in not knowing what their pay will be until the animals are sold. There aren’t many options but to sell by auction, they feel.

However, the past year was good for prices, as well as the hay crop, they say.

Their biggest challenge, Blaine believes, may be protecting traditional ranching from calls for lands to be parcelled off for recreational purposes.

They take care of their environment, among other ways by monitoring their watershed.

In their future dealings, they’ll be able to tell potential buyers they are an award-winning business.

Taylor Elliott wish to thank every single person for the support received since December 1st.

We are truly blessed to be surrounded by the kindness and goodness of family, friends, neighbours and strangers.

It’s time for local bonspiels

By Brad Quarin Curlers of Pincher Creek and area have their annual combo bonspiel on the weekend starting Jan. 24, this year featuring the colours red and white.

If you have red and white hats, clothes or shoes, put them on to support your country as it prepares for the Winter Olympics in Russia this year.

Pincher Creek Curling Club president Debbie Reed hopes excitement for the Olympics will inspire more locals to participate in the combo bonspiel, which offers fun and exercise. The tournament is open to all ages and abilities, and to members and non-members of the curling club.

This is one of the club’s four main events, the others being the fun spiel, the town-and-country bonspiel and the mixed bonspiel.

The combo bonspiel is so-named because men’s teams and women’s teams use the ice at the same time. Men face off against men and women play against women on four sheets of ice, competing for cash prizes.

A meal will also be served and the lounge will be open for drinks.

Anywhere from six to 16 men’s teams and six to 16 women’s teams can play, with each team being four people. The number of teams determines not only how long the bonspiel goes but also the size of the cash prizes, since they’re paid out of entry fees. The fees are $180 for a team or $45 for an individual.

Besides the prizes, there will also be a chance to win some cash in the 50-50 draw, which supports the club.

Debbie feels Pincher Creek’s curling club is doing well. Membership has gone up to 150 people, with high school, junior, women’s, men’s and mixed leagues. There have been plenty of volunteers to set up the arena for curling.

The club is still raising money for a new building. “We appreciate everything that has been raised so far and people that have supported us so far,” Debbie says. The club and the town are looking for a location for a building and the club is eyeing available grants.

To register for the combo bonspiel, call Jenni Newman at 403-627-5547 for a women’s team or Lee Hochstein at 403-627-8108 for a men’s team. Registrations will be taken until Monday.

If you don’t have a team, tell the club so they can put you on one.

After this, Pincher Creek will have its town-and-country bonspiel in February, where local businesses put together teams to play for donated prizes.

Dog owners give back

By Judith Snowdon The Southern Alberta Working Herding Dog Association has used Cowley Community Hall as our dog training venue for 23 years. Back in 1990, allowing dogs in a hall was unheard of. The hall board and Cowley Lions accepted us and we’ve become a prime user over the years. We are ever thankful for this.

This year, our club realized a profit of $250 from club day drop-in fees. Members, who train in Cowley from as far away as Calgary, Cranbrook and Lethbridge, unanimously chose the Cowley Community Hall Association as recipient.

SAWHDA matched the donation plus $50, for a total donation of $550.

Greetings from Crestview

In loving memory of

Richard Terrance Nunn

By the residents of Crestview Lodge, Pincher Creek

Wow, December was so busy we could barely catch our breath. Now that we have settled down, we have many thanks to give to so many people and businesses in Pincher Creek.

First we have the Grade 1 French immersion class from St. Michael’s School and their teacher, Miss Domonique, to thank. The children were well behaved and sang songs in French very well. We could not help but smile and wholeheartedly enjoy their concert.

After the songs were sung, we were read “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” by one of the students and the teacher. Then we had milk and cookies with the children as they interviewed us. They asked us about what it was like when we were children — our Christmas traditions, what kind of toys and presents we would have received, and going to school.

Thank you so much for bringing all this to us here at Crestview. We enjoyed every second of it.

We also want to say thanks to Mrs. Riedel at Canyon School for sending us a booklet made by the Grade 1 class, “Everything You Wanted to Know About Christmas … But Were Afraid to Ask.” The answers the children gave were so funny. It brought back memories of when our children were small, and so much laughter!

The residents went for a two-hour light tour around Pincher Creek.

What a spectacular drive! We would love to pass on our thanks to everyone in Pincher Creek who put up Christmas lights, and a special thank you goes out to Garry Cleland for coming into the office to make sure we visited his light display. When we arrived, Garry turned on his Christmas music and had the lights all twinkling in rhythm; it was a glorious display.

The weather was not too cold this year and we made sure to see as many light displays as we could. Huge hugs and thanks to Donny and Barb for taking us on the tour — you rock!

We are not done yet! Thank you to those people who had floats in the Parade of Lights and for making sure to drive by our lodge. It was wonderful to watch, since we are not always able to get out to support everything in Pincher due to the weather, as we don’t handle the cold like we used to. We appreciate being able to see the beautiful floats and the hard work that went into them.

For our annual family Christmas and birthday party, Rainy Day provided the musical entertainment. They are a witty and upbeat couple who come to play for us quite often. Fountain Tire and Kost Fire were wonderfully generous, assisting us with items for our door prizes and with stocking stuffers for the residents. A big thanks to Arnold Nelson who was our Special Guest, giving out jokes and goodies to all who came to celebrate with us.

For New Year’s Eve, the party room was decorated with “glitz and glam” — huge diamonds on the tables with some shiny confetti, complete with hats and noisemakers. Checkmate entertained us with a wide variety of music, from the western oldies to jazz. Even one of our homecare workers, Lisa, danced with some of the residents between rounds.

We wish to thank all the staff for all their hard work that goes into making these parties happen and for decorating the lodge inside and out.

Last but not least, we want to thank some more businesses for helping to stuff stockings for the residents: Co-op, Sobeys, the Town of Pincher Creek, Leishman Dentistry, Pharmasave and our favourite Avon lady, Tracy Damberger. You helped us provide a wonderful surprise for all the residents on Christmas morning; “All the stockings were hung by the doors with care.”

We would like to share our many blessings with all of you, and we wish you a very blessed new year!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Terrance (Terry) Nunn after battling many illnesses for the last seven years.

His family was by his side.

Terry is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Carolyn; his daughter, Tammie (Warren) Jones; his son, Geordie (Patti); five grandchildren that he was so very proud of; four great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dad started his 30-year career with CP Air as an airline mechanic, which took him from Vancouver to Montreal, then back out west to Calgary. Dad and Mom later moved to Pincher Creek, where they loved to be closer to family.

Dad had a great love for the outdoors — camping, ATVing, snowmobiling and, of course, his love for planes. Dad was always there to help out others in whatever they may need.

Dad and his great sense of humour will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Dad, we will always remember your love for life and that twinkle in your eye. We love you more, dear Dad, Papa, Opi. A celebration of Dad’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16 at Eden’s Funeral Home, 966 Elm St., Pincher Creek.

Flowers are gratefully declined. If so desired, donations in Terry’s name may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, 202-11227 Jasper Ave. N.W., Edmonton, AB, T5K 0L5.

Pass athletes on track and breaking records

By Ritch Braun Passtrak’s first track meet of the indoor season was hosted by the University of Calgary Dinos on Dec. 14.

Five Passtrak athletes attended and took part in 12 events.

Mosese Ratudradra ran three races in the 10-yearold boys category. He placed eighth in the 800-metre race, eighth in the 150, and fifth in the 60 in 10.99 seconds — a mere 4-100ths of a second off his personal best.

Tim Jorgensen ran in the 11-year-old boys category, where he finished seventh in the 60-metre race in 9.55 seconds and sixth in the 150 in 23.86 seconds. This was Tim’s first official indoor competition so he set new personal bests in both races.

Zion Ratudradra ran two races in the 13-year-old boys age group. He finished 12th in the 150-metre event in 23.37 seconds and fifth in the 800 in 2:52.97.

Alisi Ratudradra competed in the 14-year-old girls division. She placed sixth in the 60-metre hurdles in 10.58 seconds — just 5-100ths of a second from a lifetime best. She then ran the 200-metre in 29.19 seconds for fourth place and also finished fourth in the 60 in 8.64 seconds — only 9-100ths of a second from her current personal best.

Tate Kenny is a newcomer to Passtrak and this was his first official competition. He placed seventh in the 800-metre event in the 15-year-old boys age group. His

time was 2:53.55. He then finished sixth in the 200 in 29.22 seconds.

Dino Classic — Four Passtrak athletes attended the Dino Classic indoor track meet Jan. 4 at the University of Calgary, where they competed in a total of 11 events.

Mosese Ratudradra had three races in the 11-yearold boys age group. He finished fifth in the 150-metre event in 31.73 seconds, and fourth in both the 60 and the 600 with times of 11.79 seconds and 2:55.40.

Tim Jorgensen ran the same three distances in the 12-year-old boys group. He placed 10th in the 60-metre race in 9.69 seconds, ninth in the 150 in 24.26 seconds and eighth in the 600 in 2:21.12.

Alice Murray competed in the sprints only in the 12-year-old girls division. She finished sixth in the 150metre event with a 24.98-second clocking. Her time of 9.76 seconds in the 60-metre sprint crushed her previous best time by over 6-10ths of a second and earned her a third-place ribbon.

Alisi Ratudradra represented Passtrak in three races for 15-year-old girls. She placed fourth in the 60-metre race in 8.65 seconds, then moved up one spot to third in the 60-metre hurdles in 10.82 seconds. In the 600-metre event she ran away from her competitors in 1:46.74 for first place and a lifetime best performance. That time also broke a 12-year-old Passtrak club record by eight seconds.

Record generosity for Trees of Hope Pincher Creek residents continue to outdo themselves when it comes to the Trees of Hope.

Christmas 2013 saw a new high of $20,195 raised, surpassing the previous record of $18,705, set in 2012. After 23 years, the community is still strongly behind the campaign, which helps enhance services at Pincher Creek Health Centre through Windy Slopes Health Foundation.

“We’re delighted and grateful,” says foundation chairwoman Donna Schauerte, “especially since funds this year are supporting such an important project.”

The foundation aims to provide enhancements and renovation of the emergency department at Pincher Creek Health Centre.

“The project being developed will make the work area even more secure and efficient, while providing greater privacy for patients and their families,” says site manager Jordan Koch. “That’s vital in stressful situations, which we deal with every day in our local emergency department.”

The foundation is more than halfway to its $450,000 goal for this project, which will continue to be the main focus of fundraising in 2014. “We’ll keep updating the public as we make progress on the emergency project,” Donna says.
