Sensible BC petition in trouble but is looking to relaunch

by Jeff Nagel

Dana Larsen isn’t conceding defeat yet, but the head of the Sensible BC campaign to reform marijuana policing is already talking about another petition drive if the one now underway

fails.

Canvassers have less than three weeks left before the Dec. 9 deadline to submit the petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. riding.

They have around

150,000 signatures counted as of Nov. 19, or about half the number needed and far short of their target of 450,000 to provide a buffer against disqualified signatures.

“In at least half of the ridings we are strug-

gling,” Larsen said Tuesday, adding that means a quarter or less of the signatures have been gathered. “We have a long way to go.”

Districts with the lowest numbers of signatures include Cariboo, Fort Langley, Langley, Abbotsford and SurreyTynehead, Larsen said.

Other areas where canvassers are doing well – either reaching their target or close to it – include Nelson, Creston, Vancouver’s West End, Penticton, Kelowna, Port Alberni and the Similkameen.

“We always knew it was going to be a huge challenge going into the campaign,” Larsen said.

“Theres a lot of fear out there. People would love to sign the petition but say they’d lose their job or their employer told them not to. I find

that disturbing that people are afraid to express a political opinion.”

He said the main challenge has been the sheer logistics of collecting so many signatures in every riding in just 90 days.

He noted 50,000 signatures came in over the past week, adding a continued surge in the numbers up to the deadline could still put them “in the ballpark.”

Campaigners aim to pass the proposed Sensible Policing Act to bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana.

A successful petition would require the B.C. government to introduce the pseudodecriminalization bill in the Legislature or else

The Sensible BC petition is running short of signatures, according to organizer Dana Larsen. potentially getting out of the gate faster by quickly re-registering the 4,000 canvassers now signed up.

“I don’t think we will relaunch immediately,” Larsen said, adding the group would take time to study what worked and what didn’t in the event of defeat. “But almost certainly we would try again in the future.”

put it to a referendum like the one that defeated the harmonized sales tax. The government held that referendum after Fight HST forces gathered 705,000 petition signatures.

“Whether or not we get all the signatures we need, this campaign will absolutely continue,” Larsen said, adding the “army” of supporters will push towards marijuana legalization on multiple fronts.

He said Sensible BC could stage a new petition in the months ahead and try again,

Representatives from the Federal and Provincial Governments along with the Regional District of East Kootenay gathered today to celebrate the completion of the $2.7 million West Fernie Dike Project.

The newly constructed West Fernie Dike system provides a one-in-200 year event level of protection for the community of West Fernie, Highway 3, and City of Fernie infrastructure and was completed in four phases.

“Our Government recognizes the importance of modern and efficient infrastructure in achieving economic success,” said David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay–Columbia, on behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. “With today’s West Fernie Dike grand opening, we are strengthening local infrastructure while creating jobs and economic growth.”

Funding for all phases of the project was provided through the Flood Protection Program.

Phase One of the project ($500,000) was cost shared by Government of Canada’s Building Canada Fund and the

Province of British Columbia. The final three phases were funded on a one-third cost sharing between the Government of Canada’s Building Canada Fund, Province of British Columbia and the Regional District of East Kootenay, Electoral Area A Mine Tax Sharing Fund.

“Families and businesses in West Fernie know the terrible impact flooding can have,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, Minister Responsible for Core Review and MLA for Kootenay East.

port the local economy by protecting the Elk River sports fishery.”

Public safety in and around the Elk River in West Fernie has been significantly improved through the project, which was evidenced in June when unprecedented river levels resulted in widespread flooding throughout the region.

“Seeing this project completed has been one of my top priorities. In June, our area experienced significant flooding and the recently completed sections of the West Fernie Dike provided critical protection for the community, ” says Electoral Area A Director Mike Sos-

nowski. “I would like to thank the Province and the Government of Canada for their financial contribution. Without their support, this project would not have been possible. I would also like to recognize the RDEK staff and contractors who have completed the project well ahead of schedule and under budget.”

The project, which includes over 1230m of diking and bank protection, started in 2008 and was scheduled to be completed in Winter 2014.

Self-centered or service minded?

Submitted Here is a great quote that applies to most of us: “I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone.” ~ St. Francis of Assisi At St. Mary’s Catholic School, we can say that philanthropy and service work is who we are. But it’s not necessarily who we have always been as individuals. Earlier in life, we did not all start out understanding the importance of consciously helping others. Nor do we fully understand or necessarily appreciate all the people who help us during our lives. However, this is information we do not necessarily need. For the purpose of helping others lies not in gaining recognition for our choice but rather in the value of the act itself.

As Matthew 6 espouses, “But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving may be in secret.”

St. Mary’s Catholic School is a registered charity. As a school we have coordinated efforts to consciously contribute to our community (locally and globally) in efforts to help others by living our faith. As a professional staff we choose various charities to either support throughout the year.

Focuses may include providing basic needs locally to supporting children and families in war-torn countries such as Sierra. This year, we are focusing on various ‘service’ initiatives within Cranbrook.

Staff members will each take a full day to go out into the community and contribute their time in

areas of need in which they identify.

As a school, we decided on each class having a ‘mission’ each year.

This includes a task the entire class will decide on and implement. It could be as simple as baking cookies for donation or making place mats for nursing home residents. Each student also has an individual responsibility to think of contributing to others in terms of service.

They will make their choice and share that choice with others. The choice includes being mindful of: Praying specifically for someone in need; (spiritual support); Giving up one’s time to help another (service support, acts of kindness); Taking time to recognize another person needs your time or attention (Emotional support); As a staff, we are supporting the Relay for Life financially and as a group of participants.

Our goal is to help raise funds to support cancer research, to pray for the needs of those impacted by cancer, and to model for our students the importance for using one’s life to help others. For it is in serving others and sharing love that that we find a purpose for our lives that brings a huge sense of fulfilment. Being a teacher is about serving others.

In modeling the act of service and giving to children, we at St. Mary’s strive to ingrain that the value of service is in the act itself, and never in recognition of oneself.

The rewards of service should always be intrinsic.

lands and buildings in the downtown core. It was widely advertised and invitations were sent out to the business community. Approximately 40 people attended (including Mayor and five Councillors). The intention of the workshop was to identify future needs/ uses for these lands/ buildings so that staff can plan for the future based on what our community wants. It was a dynamic, democratic process. These views will be brought forward to Council when the results are compiled.

As we move forward with the opportunities ahead, it is important to find the balance between the four pillars of the Cranbrook Connected document - Economic Health, Natural and Built Environment, Social Wellbeing, Cultural Vibrancy. For example, what does this mean in terms of our delivery of public transportation? How can we make decisions that keep in mind the economic health of our community, of serving business, of those who work, and those who shop? How do transportation methods impact our environment?

How can people with no or low incomes afford to travel throughout our community?

Public Safety Responsibility of All This Winter

Improving the safety of the public is behind the City of Cranbrook campaign asking residents and businesses to help keep your streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice this winter.

“Regularly clearing ice and snow from your sidewalks and driveways will allow much easier access to your property by the fire department, RCMP or paramedics should an accident or other emergencies happen.” says Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services Chief Wayne Price.

Residents are also encouraged to avoid pushing or blowing snow from their sidewalks, driveways and any windrows back into the street, after the City plows have been by. Clearing snow is not just the responsibility of the City Public Works department, which does the best they can with the resources available to keep the community moving during the winter months. Responsibility also lies with each resident and business owner to help clear around their home or business.

“During and following major snowfalls, our snow removal operation runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and operates with a small fleet of vehicles; four salt/sand trucks with belly plows, two graders and two loaders.” says Public Works Director Joe McGowan. “With this schedule and the equipment we have, it is reasonable to expect most areas of the City to be cleared within 3 or 4 days of a snowfall, depending on the amount of snow and how fast it comes down.”

City of Cranbrook Snow Removal Policy

As this winter season approaches, we want to remind you of the City of Cranbrook current Snow and Ice Control procedures to better understand why the City clears snow the way it does. The policy in place clearly identifies four levels of priorities for streets for City crews to follow: STREETS Classification “A” – FIRST PRIORITY Major streets, hospital zones, roads that access emergency service facilities, roads with severe grades and transit routes will be cleared first. In some instances, snowfall is heavy enough and continual during the plowing process, that once these routes are cleared crews need to start them over again. That often causes a delay in getting to other areas of the City.

Classification “B” – SECOND PRIORITY This includes collector streets, the central business district and school zones.

Classification “C” – THIRD PRIORITY This includes other residential streets within the City whose immediate need for snow and ice control is not as important. Vehicles can move around with limited congestion at suitable speeds.

Classification “D” – FOURTH PRIORITY The remaining streets, drives, crescents, lanes and alleys where traffic volume is relatively low. Traffic is able to proceed at lower speeds in these residential areas.

For a complete look at the Snow Removal Policy, please visit our website.

Living With Urban Deer – AVAILABLE NOW!

A public education campaign about ‘Living with Urban Deer’ is one of several recommendations made by the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee and endorsed by City Council. This brochure is designed to help ensure public safety by reducing the potential of dangerous encounters with urban deer.

Pick up your copy at City Hall or download one from our website today!

Disposal of Construction Waste

Under the Waste Collection and Disposal bylaw, any trade refuse from commercial and industrial properties, as well as any construction sites, is the responsibility of the owner, renter or contractor to have it removed at his/her own expense. Construction materials to be disposed of must be transported to the Transfer Station, not dumped on vacant lots or otherwise illegally dumped.

Bringing Your Gardening Indoors

Now that my yard is covered in a blanket of snow, and even the hardiest shrubs and trees have been stripped of their leaves, it is time to call my outdoor season officially finished. This gives me a chance to turn my attention to the houseplants that usually get somewhat neglected during the summer months in our home. Good thing my plants do not take the lack of care personally - I know with a bit of work now, they will add some life and colour to the upcoming, grey winter months and even clean my air.

There are two main types of house plants - foliage plants and flowering plants. The plants in my house are mostly foliage plants that show off their attractive leaves, but do not have any spectacular or even really noticeable flowers. Popular foliage plants include spider plants, ferns and ivy as well as standing specimen, such as ficus and yucca. If you are looking for colour, you want to choose flowering plants, including hibiscus, lipstick plant or cyclamen.

Well-lit rooms suit most varieties of house plants, although some plants can thrive in lower light levels. All plants will benefit from good quality light, as this is necessary for photosynthesis, the plants’ way of creating energy to fuel their growth. One rule of thumb is: If your plant has light coloured or variegated leaves it likely requires more sunlight. If it has solid dark green leaves it will usually do alright in lower light levels.

Many houseplants do not grow or flower as well - if at all - during the winter months with growth and flowering resuming as the days lengthen again. This means they can often do with a little less light and a little less water than in the spring and summer months. You might still have to move some of your plants to a brighter location during winter’s short days. Rooms with south or west facing windows provide the most light and north facing windows provide the least.

Pay close attention to your plants’ watering needs. In general, overwatering seems to cause more houseplants to die than not watering enough. Discoloured, dried tips, spotty leaves or leaf drop make the plant seem like it is dying of thirst, but they can all be signs that you are overwatering. One quick way to check if your plant might need watering is to stick your finger deep into the soil and feel for moisture. When you do water your plants, do so liberally until a little water escapes through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Make sure to never let plants sit in water in a saucer or outer pot.

Even in the winter months where active growth is limited, house plants can benefit from being fed with specialized house plant fertilizer. This is especially true for winter blooming plants, such as Christmas cactus or amaryllis. These should be fertilized throughout their blooming time.

The best time to repot plants is in the spring.

That being said, if your plant is root-bound it is important to re-pot as soon as possible rather than wait. There are some sure signs that your plant has outgrown its container: roots are covering the surface of the soil or they are coming out of the bottom of the pot. The new container you re-pot your plant in should be just one size larger than the one it was in. If the container is too big, you might have problems with retaining water.

Screen off drainage holes in the pot - a coffee filter works well - and put a small amount of soil at the bottom of the container. Then place your plant in the new pot and adjust the level of soil to bring it up to about three quarters of an inch from the top. Then fill the space between the plant and the container wall with soil, press down firmly and water well.

If you treat your house plants well, they will return the favour and brighten up even the gloomiest winter day.

Till next time... happy growing.

Wasa and Area Planning Process Meeting You are invited to attend a public meeting to hear a brief presentation about the changes made to the Wasa and Area Official Community Plan and Electoral Area E Zoning Bylaw, followed by a question and answer period. Topics included will be the residential policies, commercial policies and Development Permit areas within the OCP.

3 Facts you need to Know About...

Rural Voting Power...

1.

After every second provincial election, the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act requires government to strike a Commission to evaluate BC’s 85 constituencies.

The main consideration is the ratio of population to MLA or “representation by population”. This process typically results in fewer rural Ridings.

2.

While “rep by pop” is a key democratic principle, we believe an MLA must also have a realistic, practical possibility of representing people in a large, sparsely populated Riding.

Otherwise, the number of rural Ridings in BC will diminish and rural voting power weakens.

3.

The BC government has released a white paper with proposals for changing the law. Our proposals would preserve northern & rural Ridings.

Please let us know, before January 15, 2014, what you think of our proposals by emailing: CPLOBoundaries@ gov.bc.ca: Further information can be found at http://www.ag.gov. bc.ca/legislation/ebca/ index.htm

The meeting will be held at:

Best described as a number crossword, the task in Kakuro is to fill all of the empty squares, using numbers 1 to 9, so the sum of each horizontal block equals the number to its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the number on its top. No number may be used in the same block more than once.

latest Players to Watch list. The club also features defenceman Pavel Koledov who was a member of the Russian National Junior Team that won bronze at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship, and Calgary Flames seventh round pick Rushan Rafikov.

Fellow Drakkar forward Denis Gorbunov will also compete in the QMJHL games along with Viktor Baldaev of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. In the OHL, a trio of Russin players will compete including Carolina Hurricanes prospect Sergey Tolchinsky, and 2014 NHL Draft prospects Nikolay Goldobin of the Sarnia Sting and Alexander Mikulovich of the Niagara IceDogs. Three WHL players will also compete for Russia including Florida Panthers prospect Alexander Delnov of the Seattle Thunderbirds, top 2014 NHL Draft prospect Nikita Scherbak of the Saskatoon Blades, and Rinat Valiev of the Kootenay Ice. Team Russia’s 32 players includes two goaltenders, 11 defencemen, and 19 forwards. 17 of the players are 1994-born, 14 of the players were born in 1995, with one born in 1996. Head coach Mikhail Varnakov, a former Soviet hockey star, returns to the bench for the second straight season.

The 2013 SUBWAY® Super Series takes place from November 1828 and marks the 11th straight year that teams of CHL players have competed against Team Russia in preparation for the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship to be played this season in Sweden. Last season, Team Russia captured their second SUBWAY® Super Series title since 2010 and later edged Canada 6-5 in overtime of the Bronze Medal Game of the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship played in Ufa, Russia, with a roster that included five CHL players and an additional 17 players from this series.

Jon’s family barely has enough money for the basics, like food and clothes. Jon has told me that he sometimes feels like a ‘loser’ because he doesn’t have these things. Do you sometimes feel like you are in a lower class than your peers?

Jon grew up in a rough part of town. When he was younger, Jon witnessed a lot of mischief, crime, and even acts of violence in his neighbourhood. Recently he shared with me how neighbourhood kids often tried to convince him to take part in this behaviour, and how if he said ‘no’ he was treated like an outcast and/or even threatened. Do you come from a part of town where you are surrounded by bad influences?

Jon has had several excuses to do drugs. Maybe you feel like you have some too. But against the odds, Jon has steered clear of drugs, and so can you. And if you are currently using drugs, you have the power to get help and to quit.

Remember, your past does not decide your future - you do. Start creating your best future today by deciding that drugs will never be a part of your life - no excuses allowed. *Jon is a pseudonym to keep this “Little Brother’s” identity anonymous.

After a night at a party, Erin and her boyfriend headed to bed around 2:00 a.m. blissfully unaware of the tragedy that lay ahead. What began as a fun-filled night would quickly become a nightmare.

When Erin’s boyfriend awoke at 6:30 a.m. he could tell something was terribly wrong. Erin’s body was cold and stiff. She wasn’t breathing. Her heart had stopped. All of his first-aid training could not rouse a pulse or heartbeat. Panic ensued. A call to 911 was made. Help was needed - quickly.

First responders and ambulance attendants worked furiously to re-start Erin’s heart, but to no avail. At approximately 7:30 a.m. on May 28th, 2008 (just one month after her 21st birthday), Erin

Jean Maria Spanevello was pronounced dead at the scene from cardiac and respiratory failure.

Waiting at home for Erin’s usual “good morning” phone call, her parents received the tragic news of her sudden death. What had happened? What went wrong?

As days of deep despair and grieving passed, details began to emerge. On her last night alive, Erin and her boyfriend took a combination of Ecstasy and GHB that caused an irreversible coma and ultimately her death.

It was a lethal combination of illicit drugs that was circulating in the party crowd. There was no guarantee of what was in the drug, no dosage control, NO amount was safe. Without thinking about the risks or their safety one night of altered consciousness, purchased for less than price of a movie ticket, was Erin’s last.

Erin’s family and

friends will forever mourn the loss of a girl who had a bright and promising future. Erin was an aspiring model and worked part-time at a trendy downtown restaurant. She was set to start college in the Fall and was looking forward to studying graphic design.

Why am I sharing this story? I’m sharing my daughter’s story (and my own personal nightmare) in the hope that even one young life will be saved from learning about Erin’s avoidable and unnecessary death. Illicit drugs kill.

Protect yourself and your friends from this potential fate. Educate yourself and understand the risks. Don’t let The Agony of Ecstasy take your life or the life of someone you love.

Please, don’t let Erin’s story become your own. ~Catherine Spanevello - Erin’s mom

Pine Mushroom: The pine mushroom is an exceedingly tasty mushroom. It usually grows near pine trees, where it picks up its characteristic pine odor. They appear as a bump under the forest floor cover, only occasionally popping their heads out. The pine mushroom has a creamy white colour with immature ones looking somewhat like a light bulb and called a “button.”

These mushrooms and their mycelia are very delicate and care should be taken to gently rock these mushrooms out to preserve the area for next year’s harvest. As they are considered a foreign delicacy in places like Japan, pine mushroom harvests can be very lucrative.

Honey Mushroom: These mushrooms have a golden colour and are very tasty in soups and fried, provided they are picked in time. They grow in clusters and have tiny hairs on the cap, which also has a small darker patch near the middle. As these mushrooms can be misidentified as a few other poisonous species, it is important to check for gills that run from the bottom of the cap partway onto the stalk to a faint ring. Make a spore print when you think you have found some. To do this, place the mushrooms gills-down on a dark piece of paper for a few hours. The spores of this mushroom are white and should leave a gill pattern on the paper.

Black Morel Mushroom: The black morel mushroom is a wonderful and rare find in the Kootenays. It can be confused with a false morel, so pickers have to be careful that the stem is not hollow and that the cap is not just attached at the top of the stem, but is instead joined completely to the stem. These particular mushrooms are tasty any way that you decide to prepare them. Because of the rarity, may pickers prefer them fried with butter to compliment a meat dish, but just on their own they are both a treat for the taste buds and a reward for a good day’s mushroom picking.

Shaggy Mane Mushroom: The shaggy mane, often called an “inky” mane, is another flavourful mushroom that is best fried with butter. It’s consistency is light but solid and the flavour has a little nuttiness to it. It has picked up the “inky” moniker because when picked a little late, it will turn into a black, inky mess in the frying pan. These tasty fungi are often found at the sides of gravel or backcountry roads, so be on the lookout this season and you may be lucky enough to enjoy a shaggy without the ink. #1 mushroom rule: if unsure, do not eat

Wondering what to pour?

Let us help you find the perfect wine to compliment your favorite recipes.

Nature’s goodness Mushrooms in the Kootenays

We are fortunate to be living in an area where mushrooms, especially at this time of year, are plentiful. These tasty fungi are wonderful to find and even tastier to eat. Of course, you have to be extremely careful before popping one of these delicacies into your mouth. Below are just a few of the varieties available in the area with a little hunting. Please carefully check sources such as the book Mushrooms Demystified, or the great online resource, MatchMaker, Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest.

Preferably, go mushroom hunting with an experienced picker.

Magical Christmas with PT the Clown

You’re sure to have seen her around the community or in the region with a smile as big as the prairies, her rainbow attitude and clothing setting the world on edge with happiness; she is P.T. the Clown, aka Marilyn Christensen.

Last year the lovable clown decided to get behind East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s Starlite Campaign by sharing proceeds from her Magical Christmas Show for the regional hospital’s pediatric unit. Her efforts saw a generous gift of $500 for the unit’s toy closet. The results were so amazing that PT the Clown is once again hosting a magic Christmas show in support of health care and kids.

On Saturday, December 7, 2013 at the Key City Theatre P.T. the Clown will be joined by special guests from the Aspire Dance Academy to tell the story (with a lot of singing, dancing and magic) of the one of the magical parts of Christmas, the yuletide tree.

Tickets are just $15 for adults, children (12 & under) $10 and are available by calling 250 426-7006.

She may be a clown at heart but there is no clowning around about her passion for helping children. Thanks P.T.; the Starlite Campaign is brighter because of people like you.

To learn more about the adventures of P. T. the Clown visit www. pttheclown.com or to make a magical donation to the Starlite Campaign visit www. ekfh.ca

DeCember 7 UNITeD cHURcH 8TH aNNUal cooKIe WalK, cranbrook United

Slugs: Anyone out there as mad about bank charges as I am? I am sure I am not alone! The people that have the money pay no fees; the regular client is footing the bill. What bugs me more than anything else is to have to pay a $5.00 fee to cash a cheque at the banks in Kimberley. The next time I receive a cheque I am charging $5.00 extra for bank charges. I don’t want to drive to Cranbrook for anything if I can avoid it.

Why should I have to pay a $5.00 fee to get payment on a cheque written to the bank I am standing at in Kimberley? Not to mention the snotty bank teller I had to deal with. Makes my day.

Hugs: To Kal Tire for their tremendous customer service! Great place to get tires and always helpful and friendly staff.

Thanks!!

Slugs: To people who own dogs and let them free to roam the neighbourhood (especially early in the morning) and attack other dogs and owners as they walk by their homes. If they have no control over their dogs, maybe they should leave them in the back yard where they cannot attack unsuspecting people out for a walk. No respect for others. Shame on you!

Hugs: A big hug goes out to the people who stopped on the highway to help me drag a deer that had been struck to the road’s shoulder. It wasn’t a pleasant way to start the day for any of us and I appreciated the help.

Slugs: To all the people that travel the highway between Kimberley and Cranbrook who use it as a race track.

Not only is 100/km/h not good enough, but with the gravel on the roads now cracked windows begin. Too bad the highway isn’t patrolled early in the mornings. Lots of speeders and lots of talking on cell phones.

Hugs: Just want to send a HUG to the person who turned my black and silver scarf in to the customer service at Superstore on the long weekend

church, a downtown church at the corner of Baker Street and 12th avenue, 12:30 – 3 p.m.. doors open at noon, sales start at 12:30 pm – 3 pm. $10 for admission, container and glove. Fill container as full as you can, BUT, it must be able to be close properly.

DeCember 8 cranbrook United church is holding their annual children’s

in November. I was so grateful to find it there when I went back as it was a souvenir from a trip to the Middle East, so had great sentimental value.

Slugs: To the person who felt the need to send their own slugs last week, pertaining to coffee at the Remembrance Day Ceremonies. It’s a cold November day. People actually came to show remembrance. Last time I checked, that didn’t require hands free action. Or does it? Signed- warm hands Slugs: To the drivers in Cranbrook who don’t turn into the correct lane when they are turning onto a four-lane road/ street such as Cranbrook Street, Victoria Ave or Van Horne Street. These drivers can and do cause accidents by turning into the wrong lane. When entering a four-lane road/street and turning left, they are supposed to turn into the left lane, then signal to move into the right lane if that is where they wish to be. The same thing applies if they are turning right – they are supposed to turn into the right lane then signal to move into the left lane. Instead, they turn left into the right lane (or turn right into the left lane), quite often cutting off the vehicle that has the right-of-way. I am sure they wouldn’t have gotten their license if they had done that during the road test.

Slugs: To the owner’s of the broken down mobile homes at the north entrance to Cranbrook. The City has a nice entrance, lovely shrubs, trees beside the overpass and then we see this mess.

Hugs: To ALL the friendly and helpful staff of Signal Collision. Outstanding customer service and advice!!

Hugs: To my coworkers who did such a great job covering for me while I was away recovering, y’all went above and beyond. Thanks for the cookies too.

If you have a Hug or a Slug...we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at shannon@kootenayadvertiser.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints.

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

OBITUARY Andrew Wright "Andy" 1947-2013 We are so sad to announce the passing of our beloved Andy at the age of 66 in the Kelowna General Hospital on November 10, 2013. He had endured a 13 day critical illness with family at his side until he peacefully passed. Andy was born in Montreal, Quebec, on September 10, 1947 and moved with his family to Victoria, BC then to North Vancouver where he grew up. He is survived by his wife Monica, "Nikki" of 30 years, his children, Darcie (Wayne), Casey and Kyle Wright as well as his grandchildren, Dylan, Kaleb and Jessica. He is also survived by his sister Andwin Bryerton and family of P.E.I. Andy is predeceased by his parents Andrew and Winnifred Wright.

He will be remembered for his love of family and friends.

He always kept people captivated with hilarious stories of his youth. He was a devoted husband, father, grandpa, and friend. The neighbor's dogs will miss his daily 'treats' and his obvious affection for them. He could be described as fiercely independent, loyal, brave and often extremely funny. He was the "King of one liners."

Andy always loved to engage in a controversial debate.

Andy was an avid "Hot Rodder" and with his wife Nikki attended many Hot Rod runs in BC, AB, and the USA. On sunny days he was often seen cruising the streets in his bright yellow Hot Rod. Neighbors must have noticed he was frequently washing and enjoyed detailing his vehicles. He could fix almost anything and thus was called "Handy Andy."

The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Ross Dawson and Dr. Errin Sawatsky and the staff of Emergency and ICU at EKRH and also the medical team and nursing staff at Kelowna General Hospital where he was so well cared for. Also, special thanks to the staff of the EKRH health unit (Cranbrook).

There will be no service as per Andy's request. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Fund or the Canadian Diabetic Association would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to our friends and family for your overwhelming support during this very difficult time.

- Nikki Wright and Family.

Crowsnest Pass remembers

By Joni MacFarlane Editor A moving, emotional tribute was paid to honour the men and women who served their country both in times of conflict and in peace-time.

On Monday, Nov. 11, Crowsnest Pass held its annual community Remembrance Day ceremony led by Piper Bill Plant. A Parade of Colours, the Canadian and American National Anthems, Last Post, two minutes of silence and reveille were followed by an invocation by Rev. Nicky Keyworth and Special Address by Warrant Officer Charles Gresln.

“The Pass looks after its veterans, “said Gresln.

“I’ve attended many ceremonies and there’s none nicer than in Crowsnest Pass.”

An address by American Legion national Executive Committeeman Mervin Gunderson was followed by a short speech by Mayor Blair Painter.

Referring to the service men and women in the military, Mayor Painter, said he was “humbled by their sacrifices”.

After the community service, there was a short commemoration at the Coleman Legion with a moving tribute to the lost soldier.

Services were also held in the afternoon at the Blairmore Legion Branch #7 at the cenotaph moved from the organization’s former location, and ended at Bellevue Legion, Branch #19.

CAO reports to council

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

At the Nov. 5 council meeting, Chief Administrative Officer, Myron Thompson, gave his first briefing on activities administration has been working on in recent months.

First, said Thompson, the municipality was approached by the DimeStore Fisherman show about featuring the Crowsnest Pass as a fishing destination in an upcoming episode.

This is one of the longest Alberta-produced television shows and is seen on many channels across Canada, he said, including several major stations. Travel Alberta promotes and provides funding for the show.

“They not only do a fishing show but they really include a lot of information about things that are going on in the community, events, highlights, things like that,” said Thompson.

“It’s real good promotion for the municipality.”

The filming would take place over nine to 10 days. More details will be brought to council as the proposal continues, Thompson added.

RC Strategies, the consultant service conducting the Recreation and Facilities Feasibility Study, was in the Pass to interview stakeholders and staff members and to tour the facilities, said Thompson. He added that there was a good response to the survey that will provide invaluable information.

Thompson told council that the Emergency Management Plan was in the final stages of update and it was critical that

information be gathered from operations people in the field who have worked through events such as the flooding incident in June.

A Train the Trainer program overview was provided to staff and a work order system will be introduced over the next two months with full implementation by the beginning of 2014.

“This will give us a true cost accounting for various functions within operations and will be a good work plan tool as well,” said Thompson.

A Joint Union Management meeting was held with the majority of discussion around implementation of action items relative to the Workplace Assessment, Thompson told council.

The Frank Waste Water Treatment Plant design will be completed by end of November and a grant application has been made for the Sentinel Water Treatment Plan upgrades.

A review of the municipal 10-year capital infrastructure improvement plan is underway and will be presented during 2014 budget discussions.

The Hillcrest Memorial Cemetery-Centennial Enhancement Project was awarded $10,000 from the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta.

The mixing of winter sand and salt is near completion.

Mixed winter sand will be distributed to public works facilities and crushed gravel will be hauled to the Passburg Pit for maintenance purposes.

The Rob Ford Reality Show

Like every journalist around the world, I can’t resist the temptation to write about Toronto’s mayor-in-name-only Rob Ford. From Belarus to Brazil, newspaper scribes, TV talk shows, and workplace water coolers are abuzz with the dirty daily detritus that are now the chambers of Toronto city hall.

As each new day unfolds, another juicy storyline more riveting than the day before attracts our attention like flies on a sticky strip. The layers are intricate, complex and so deliciously irresistible.

First, of course there were the admissions about drug use during his term in office, followed by a corresponding series of apologies and a stunningly tasteless string of lewd language during a press conference.

There were the unfounded allegations from former staffers saying they saw Mayor Ford intoxicated at City Hall and other official city events, that they were asked frequently to buy alcohol for him, that he often drove while drunk, that he’d used cocaine, that he was seen with a prostitute, and that he’d suggested something of a sexual nature to a former female staff member.

None of these allegations have been proven and Ford dismissed them all, vowing to sue everyone and anyone who would dare to say such a thing. Sure he smoked crack, but drinking and driving? How dare they?

Then there’s the spectacle at City Hall. Last week, councillors voted overwhelmingly to restrict his powers as mayor. More motions were discussed this week to peel away Ford’s powers, rendering him a virtual figurehead

whose influence would be limited to a single vote. As at tributing to it. press time, this latest move hadn’t been confirmed.

What holds us in its grip and why the story fascinates is And of course, again, legal action is threatened against because Ford’s not following the script. the city and each and every council member who voted You know the one – celebrity finally gets caught, conagainst him. fesses their sins, says their sorry (the wife standing stoiA “modern day coup d’état” was how Ford’s brother, cally behind their man), goes into rehab shameful and Councillor Doug Ford, described it – a comparison stun- repentant, and emerges, redeemed and fully cleansed. ningly offensive to a good many Canadians who have Ford instead, just says no.

Council gets first look at books

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Council members were presented with a detailed look at the municipality’s financial position on Nov. 5 with a presentation from the Director of Finance & Corporate Services.

Marion Vanoni presented financial reports for the period ending Oct. 30 with transactions compared to the approved 2013 budget.

First, said Vanoni, a positive cash ratio exists with current assets in excess of $9.3 million and liabilities of just over $2 million. There are commitments for reserves, deferred revenues of $3.1 million based on grants, employee benefits totaling $7.3 million, and an annual debt payment of $482,661.

Currently, debt is $1.1 million and reserves are $1.8 million.

“Currently we are sitting at a cumulative surplus position and I intend to see that until year end. We are expecting a very small surplus, somewhere around where we budgeted for, around $18,000,” said Vanoni.

Capital projects so far this year are $971,336 - far below the budget of $6.2 million, said Vanoni.

This is due to a delay by the provincial government to upgrade the Sentinel Bridge and the 6th Street Hillcrest Bridge. Another $1.5 million budgeted for Culture and Recreation Heritage initiatives is also still to be allocated pending results from the Recreation Feasibility Study, said Vanoni.

Reserves projected to year-end are $1.7 million and currently sit at $1.9 million. At the start of the year, they were $1.7 million.

Of note, she said, was the deferral of $100,000 to the Crowsnest Pass Senior Housing Authority for upgrades to York Creek Lodge, a moratorium on offsite levies, and lower than expected sales of municipal land.

Vanoni told council that the municipality has a debt ceiling of $17 million so fund could be borrowed to honour the commitment to Senior Housing so council could assist that organization.

“There are some options that we will be talking to you about during budget deliberations,” she said.

A mill rate stabilization reserve set up in conjunction with the triennial budget is at $555,041, said Vanoni, and $350,000 will go towards the Crowsnest Centre demolition. Another $50,000 will be taken from land sales to fund the demolition, she added.

“Once the land is sold, these two reserves will be bolstered back up,” she said. “The balance of that demolition is coming out of grant revenue.”

Vanoni explained that Crowsnest Pass is one of five municipal electrical suppliers in Alberta.

The electrical department reserve was established to enhance the capital infrastructure and is currently sitting at $531,404.

Last, a summary of operating programs was presented that shows 22 per cent of the 2013 budget remains for the last two months of the year.

Gushul artist connects with community

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Budding and advanced artists have an opportunity to learn an interesting medium and meet a talented Aboriginal artist at the Gushul Studio in Blairmore this month.

Tracey-Mae Chambers is the current artist-inresidence who is busy working on a new exhibition called “about eve” using encaustic – a technique using heated beeswax.

The exhibit focuses on how contact with Europeans affected the social structures of women and children in First Nations communities.

Working on both three-dimensional structure and paintings, Chamber uses encaustic painting – a mixture of melted beeswax, paint and Washi, a Japanese paper.

“I’m approaching it from an artistic perspective examining the change between being a grandmother-driven culture to a patriarchal society based on the European model,” said Chambers.

As well as sculptures and 32 paintings, Chamber constructed a nine-foot canoe crafted from Washi, fur, leather and other natural elements such as birch bark strips. She worked with designer Linda Lundstrom on the project to learn how to sew in such a mosaic of mediums.

Admitting to an affection for fashion, Chambers is also working on other installations that draw on

fashion and how First Nations women were impacted by European design.

“Linda [Lundstrom] has been invaluable to me,” she added.

Chambers is also passionate about working with the encaustic technique.

Not only does she love the smell of beeswax and how it permeates surfaces, she said the medium has great longevity and is one of the oldest forms of mediums in human history.

She said she chose Crowsnest Pass for the name of the community (she admitted to an affinity for crows) and applied to Gushul’s to immerse herself in work in preparation for her exhibition.

“It’s a great place to separate myself for creating,” she said. “A great physical space to work in, free of distractions.”

However, while at Gushul, Chambers believes its also important to connect with the community and offer her talents as an artist to others. She has been holding workshops in abstract art, encaustic painting and dream catchers throughout the month of November.

Chambers said people in the Crowsnest Pass have been very helpful towards her and she’s encouraged by the positive reception.

If you are interested in registering for a workshop, call 403-563-3955 or for more information on Chambers, visit www.tracey-mae.com.

Crowsnest Pass gives large

By Joni MacFarlane Editor She’s only six years old, but she’s already endured more than most people do in a lifetime. Claira Murray, a Grade 1 student at Horace Allen School, was diagnosed with a large mass on her esophagus earlier this year. Since then, she’s been in and out of hospital while friends at home rallied together.

Claira’s Recovery Craft/Bake Sale Fundraiser, held on Nov. 9 at the Hillcrest Fish & Game Club, was a smashing success and proved – once again – that the people of Crowsnest Pass have enormous hearts.

Organized by friends of the Murray family, Danielle Harris, Melissa Hvizdos Danielle Harris (right), one of the organizers of the fundraiser for Claira Murray, said and Kat Williams, over $9,000 was raised the response from the community was overwhelming. Claira’s Recovery Craft/Bake to help the family with expenses incurred Sale raised over $9,000 to assist the Murray family with expenses incurred by their by their ordeal.

Starting from a small idea, the event daughter’s medical issues.

grew as more people and businesses became involved, said Harris. “We were really surprised and overwhelmed by the support,” she said. “When we heard about what the family was going through, it really hit hard.”

Tracy Murray, Claira’s mom, said they were first alerted to a problem around the end of the school year when Claira complained of being tired all the time. A chest x-ray showed a large mass on her esophagus, behind her lungs and below her heart.

In September, surgery was performed to remove it but they found the mass had grown into the wall of the esophagus.

Tracy said they couldn’t remove it all because it would have left a hole in the esophagus that would’ve caused it to collapse. A softball-sized mass was removed and they thought the worst was over.

“Doctors said it was a very unknown case,” said Tracy. “They hadn’t seen one like it in 10 years.”

After a three-week stay in hospital, Claira came home but had to be fed an expensive formula with a tube that went straight into the intestines. After a week, Tracy said, the tube became plugged and they returned to the hospital.

This back and forth routine continued for some time until doctors discovered that a pouch formed on the esophagus after surgery had developed a hole resulting in a massive infection.

Now on heavy doses of antibiotics, Claira is awaiting the date for a second surgery – this one to close up the hole in the esophagus.

In addition, Tracy said, doctors also diagnosed Claira with a mild case of cerebral palsy.

Tracy relayed the information matter-of-factly but admitted the ordeal has been exhausting. With three other children at home – ages 11, nine and four - Tracy’s husband Brad and she have often had to rely on family and friends.

She said Claira is very easy-going and rarely cries but is looking forward to eating real food again.

“We’re optimistic that the surgery will fix the problem. Hopefully we’ll have a normal Christmas and Claira will be eating again,” she said. “You have to have a positive attitude. [Kids] sense that from you.”

Funds raised from the Hillcrest event will be used for Tracy’s accommodation, gas back and forth to Calgary, hospital parking and Claira’s special formula.

“I want to send a big thank you out to everyone that contributed. We really appreciate it,” Tracy said. “I love the Pass. We’ve only lived there threeand-a-half years but it feels like home.”

MP candidate declared

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

With the announcement last week from Conservative MP and Minister of State for Finance Ted Menzies that he was leaving politics ahead of the next election, an early candidate has thrown her hat into the ring.

First out of the gate was High River resident Melissa Mathieson who worked with Menzies over the years and has been actively involved in politics since childhood.

Despite her youth, Mathieson said it doesn’t mean she’s inexperienced.

“I started getting involved in politics at 11, knocking on doors and licking envelopes,” she said. “I was working with Ted (Menzies) when I was 13 and volunteered at constituency and policy conventions for over a decade.”

An unabashed admirer of Menzies, Mathieson said he’s so well-known and respected, she’s very lucky to have worked with him.

She said she admires his ability to listen to his constituents and the inexhaustible energy that takes him across the large riding of Macleod.

“I know I’m not what you’re used

High River resident Melissa Mathieson declared her intention to run for the Conservative Party in the Macleod riding following Ted Menzies retirement announcement.

Submitted photo to, but what makes me different is my stint in Ottawa working with Ted, the Department of Finance and the Prime Minister’s Office,” said Mathieson. “I know the big players and I can hit the ground running.”

Born and bred in High River, Mathieson said she’s passionate about the Macleod riding, describing it as “bedrock of fiscal conservatism”. As such, it’s a desirable riding for Conservatives to run in for a federal seat.

Asked why she wants to start her political career at the federal level, Mathieson admitted that’s where her heart is after working in Ottawa with Menzies.

She also believes it’s important for the Conservative Party to renew itself with younger candidates who are passionate and strong about their role.

“Our job is to listen to the constituents and listen to their concerns,” she said. “My youth is a huge advantage.

I know the players and the system like the back of my hand… I was lucky to work with Ted and learn from him.”

When an MP leaves the position ahead of an election, a by-election must be held within 180 days. The Conservative Party of Canada will hold a nomination to elect their candidate for the riding. A federal election is set for 2015.

MP Ted Menzies retires

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Surprising his supporters, Tory MP and Minister of State for Finance Ted Menzies announced he was leaving politics ahead of the next election.

Although Menzies announced last July that he wouldn’t run in the 2015 election, many expected he would stay on until then.

Menzies, who represents the Macleod riding, one that was hit heavily by the June flooding incident, said at the time of announcing his retirement that the devastation of Higher River and other communities, led him to decide it was more important for him to be there than in Ottawa.

In his announcement, Menzies said, “the time has come for me to move on”. Although retiring from politics, he “look[s] forward to another exciting career ahead”.

As of Jan. 1, Menzies will take on the role of President and CEO of CropLife Canada, an industry association representing companies that develop, manufacture and distribute pest control products and plant biotechnology.

“As a farmer, I have always been interested in how technology can improve operations. I saw firsthand the role that pesticides and plant biotechnology play in increasing yields and helping improve the farm environment. I know how important these technologies are for farmers and that’s a very big part of why I am so excited about this next phase in my career,” said Menzies.

Chamber lunch highlights developmental assets

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Business owners in Crowsnest Pass were encouraged to support and encourage youth in the community and to foster developmental assets through their business.

At the Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce luncheon held at the Highwood Hotel on Wednesday, Nov. 13, Kim Lewis and Michael Mertz provided an overview of 40 Developmental Assets, a philosophy that speaks to the relationships, opportunities and qualities that youth need.

Lewis and Mertz highlighted a research study conducted by the Search Institute that identified 40 positive experiences and qualities that everyone has the power to bring to children and youth.

“It’s a philosophy, or a lens, at which to look at children and youth… and it happens through strong positive relationships,” said Lewis.

Search Institute has been studying the effects that developmental assets have on youth since 1989, she said. Millions of surveys have been conducted on youth in Canada and the U.S. with the same results.

“All young people have assets, but too many youth have too few,” said Lewis. “All

children and youth need assets. The more they have, the more successful they’ll be.”

Relationships are the key to building assets, she added, and the message should be consistent, intentional and repetitive.

Lewis said the focus has shifted from fixing young people’s problems to promoting their strengths, from seeing youth as

problems to seeing them as resources, and from offering programs to building relationships.

In June, 270 students in Crowsnest Pass from Grades 4 through 12 were surveyed and completed a 160-question survey.

Mertz said that the more assets youth reported having, the better their health and the more successful they were in school. Conversely, those with fewer assets fared worse at school and experienced poorer health.

From Grade 4 up, the gap in assets dropped steadily. It spiked again at Grade 12 but this was because of dropout rates after Grade 11, said Mertz.

He also reported that survey results were very consistent in over a million youth and that gender made no difference.

Mertz also said there was a large gap between what adults said were important values and what they actually did to encourage those values.

Lastly, Chamber members were encouraged to make their business a welcoming place for youth, to offer internships or hire them, and to show youth that their talents and aspirations are respected.

A plea was made to get youth involved in local activities such as sports, clubs or organizations either at school or in the community.

BCMI rebuild nears completion

Crews work to finish and enclose the upper floor of the BCMI in Blairmore. An elevator is also being installed to reach the second floor.

Photo by J. MacFarlane

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Power tools whirl, crews unload gallon after gallon of paint and a steady buzz of work envelopes the building, both inside and out, as the massive reconstruction continues on one of the community’s largest hotels.

The Best Canadian Motor Inn (BCMI) was devastated by a fire in November 2011 and the remains of the

building on 21st Avenue in Blairmore sat vacant for over a year as detailed renovation and expansion plans were completed.

Today, the remarkable transformation is on the downhill slide as crews work to finish enclosing the second floor and continue interior finishing work on the main floor.

Project Manager Kevin Cox with Belfor Property Restoration said once the project

is finished, it will be a fresh new building.

BCMI announced in early April that the facility would be rebuilt and will include 49 completely renovated modern rooms, fitness room, laundry facilities, deluxe continental breakfast area and business center.

A conference centre to accommodate about 75 people is being built as well as an elevator to the second floor.

There are eight double suites and several with kitchenettes, said Cox. The reconstruction also includes a lounge with patio off the main lobby that BCMI will sub-lease.

Before reconstruction could begin, a two-stage demolition took place. First, all the contents had to be removed and identified. Due to extensive smoke damage, very little was salvaged.

As well 28 rooms on

the north side of the building contained asbestos that had to be removed.

Everything taken out of the rooms was bagged, sprayed and taken to a special landfill site, said Cox. Afterwards, all that remained was the shell when everything was gutted down to the studs. All new wiring, plumbing, insulation, walls, water and heating systems had to be installed.

Cox said the project has employed anywhere from 20 to 40 people at a time with most of the workers and subtrades supplied locally.

The only exceptions, he added, were the elevator shaft and the torchon roofing, a flat roof application.

Cox said work has been progressing well with only one delay caused by engineering. The new hotel is expected to be completed and open for business at the end of May 2014.

New director takes the helm

By Joni MacFarlane Editor With a firm background in municipal recreation and facility management, the new Director of Protective and Community Services hopes his knowledge and experience will help contribute to the success of the Crowsnest Pass.

Lyle Hannan took over the position on Nov. 4 after a career spanning a broad variety of communities throughout western Canada and the north.

An avid athlete in his youth, Hannan said he was very involved in baseball, rugby and hockey and was looking towards scholarships to pursue his athletic career when a sports injury sidelined his ambitions.

The injury changed his plans and he instead began to study kinesiology at the University of Victoria. As courses overlapped with those involving the philosophy of sports and why recreation was important to communities, Hannan said he found himself drawn to focus in that direction.

He switched to study Leisure Services Administration, a blend between public service and recreation that more closely resembled his interests.

Hannan said as a youth growing up with a focus on sports and recreation, he understands that providing quality facilities and community events lead to a happy and healthy community.

“It put words to how I felt about it,” he said. “It matched my philosophy and took advantage of the things I grew up with.”

Employed in the public service, Hannan has worked in numerous communities ranging in size and population, including Swan River, Manitoba, Norman Wells, NWT, Cold Lake, Morinville, Grande Cache, and Hay River, NWT. In two of these communities, Hannan said, he was involved in multi-million dollar recreation projects, including management of a new high school campus and recreation centre, as well as a recreation centre expansion and aquatic centre addition.

Every community had a parks and recreation component, he said, and often combined tourism, family and social services, with protective services.

Hannan said he’s always loved the mountains and envisioned working again in that landscape. Still very much interested in sports, he’s an avid golfer in summer and downhill skier in winter. He’s also open to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, playing slo-pitch and rugby, and refereeing hockey.

He said he likes the location and size of the Crowsnest Pass as well as the challenge and diversity of his position.

Hannan said he will be working closely with the Manager of Protective Services who will provide the direction and oversight for the department.

“I’ll be relying on him for that,” said Hannan, “and together we’ll work on the strategic direction.”

With only a few days under his belt, Hannan said he’s looking forward to getting council’s vision for the future.

“It’s a brand new council and we haven’t had an opportunity to look at the strategic plan,” he said.

As council sets its mandate, Hannan said discussions will have to take place on issues such as how recreation ties into council’s plan for economic development, what the community’s focus is, how much investment does the community want to put into recreational facilities, trail building, or culture and heritage, and if it’s determined to put certain things in place, how financially feasible are they.

“Our focus is to work with council to set the direction for the next four years and to build relationships with community groups so they’re involved and informed,” he said. “There are so many wonderful assets to work with here.”

Hannan said his focus right now is to review documents, talk to stakeholders and understand the background of his portfolio so he can better advise council.

“I want to have a positive impact on the community,” said Hannan. “I’m just excited to meet everyone and get at it. I’m sure there’s no shortage of interesting times ahead.”
