Hydro rates going up 28% over the next 5 years from the utility, but the five years of reductions don’t start until 2018.

The government has instructed BC Hydro to shut down the gas-fired Burrard Thermal generating station in Port Moody by 2016, saving an estimated $14 million a year. The forecast electricity surplus over the 10-year plan allows that, but the facility will continue to be staffed for its grid stability function, Reid said.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett and BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid take questions on the utility’s 10-year plan Monday.

By Tom Fletcher The first of a series of BC Hydro rate increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 a month to the average residential power bill.

Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will be directed to set rate increases that total up to 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said.

Commercial rates are going up the same amount.

Bennett acknowledged that rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020.

BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid said the latest rate increases are driven mainly by a large increase in capital spending, including seismic refits of old dams at Campbell River and Ruskin, turbine expansions at two Kootenay power dams and other upgrades. BC Hydro’s “big build” era of 1973 to 1982 produced rate increases totalling 113 per cent.

BC Hydro cited an annual survey by Hydro Quebec that shows BC Hydro customers currently pay the third lowest rates in North America. Montreal and Winnipeg customers

pay less, and Seattle and Miami residents pay slightly more.

NDP energy critic John Horgan said Bennett avoided the impact of private power purchases on BC Hydro’s rate increases.

“We’re going to have increased debt for the next five years,” Hor-

gan said. “They’re going to continue to take a dividend from a company that can’t afford to pay one, and the consequences for people are going to be higher costs.”

Bennett said the 10year plan calls for the government to “wean itself off” dividends

Red and green - your holiday colours

It is hard to pinpoint the exact time when the holiday spirit takes over our homes and hearts. Is it when the first snow flies? After Remembrance Day? Here at the garden centre, ornaments and holiday home decor items slowly make their way in as the season approaches, but we know it is here to stay when the holiday plants arrive. Poinsettias, holly and Christmas cactus all combine green and red which have long been the traditional colours of Christmas.

Even before Christian times, people used evergreens and brightly coloured berries and apples to celebrate the Yule season. The bright colours symbolize that life still exists, even in the cold and harsh conditions of winter and add a promise that harvest and abundance are just around the corner. Add a splash of gold and you have reference to the sun that will soon be sending us its warming rays again.

One plant that has become a classic symbol of the season is the poinsettia. Native to Central America and Mexico, the poinsettia was first brought to North America in the 1820s. It reached the popularity it still enjoys today in the 1960's, when growers in California started to cultivate them as potted plants in large numbers.

The natural colour of poinsettias is red and to this day this remains the most popular choice.

Thanks to breeding, however, today poinsettias are available in white, pink, peach and even yellow and with speckled, marbled and crinkled leaves.

The “flowering” part of the poinsettia is in fact not a flower at all, rather, it is made up of a cluster of coloured leaves or bracts. Taking care of already blooming poinsettias throughout the holiday season is quite easy. The greatest danger is over-watering the plant, so a good guideline is to give it a good drink of water once the leaves are just starting to droop. Poinsettias should not be kept in the pretty covers they often get sold in as this can also hinder excess water from draining away from the plant.

Poinsettias thrive in temperatures around 20°C and should be kept away from cold drafts and furnace vents. If the plants are happy, they will reward you with month after month of striking foliage colour. Trying to keep a poinsettia alive to bloom again next holiday season can be a bit of work. The plants have a tendency to get “leggy” while in the house and will need a regular routine throughout the year and at least 14 hours of complete darkness starting in October to have a chance of bringing them into colour for Christmas.

Another plant that comes from the rainforests of South America to bring us holiday cheer is the Christmas or Zygo cactus. Its flowers come in a wide range of translucent colors such as white, yellow, orange, pink and red. They last about one week and one plant can often put on a great show for up to three weeks.

Christmas cactus prefers slightly acidic soil that is high in organic matter with really good drainage. Transplanting and “refreshing” the soil is best done every three to four years. Christmas cactus does best in bright, yet indirect light.

While ordinary house temperatures are fine, cooler night temperatures are beneficial for prolonged blooming.

You should water blooming plants to keep the soil evenly moist, but not saturated. Once blooming has finished, you can cut back on watering slightly, but never let the leaves shrivel. During the blooming period, you do not have to fertilize Christmas cactus. When new growth begins in the spring time, however, you should fertilize at each watering with a water soluble fertilizer applied at half strength.

Christmas cactus can be encouraged to bloom again next season and my mother has had hers give a spectacular show each year as long as I can remember.

Till next time... happy decorating, Submitted by Kerstin

Hugs: To the wonderful woman in the Ultrasound waiting room on Saturday, Nov. 23. And also to the kind man at the hospital Monday morning who shared your parking stub. Your selflessness was so very appreciated. In a world full of slugs it’s nice to find people so worthy of a hug.

Hugs: To the person who turned my wallet in at Safeway on Saturday, thanks so much for being honest!! Much appreciated!!

Slugs: To drivers who don’t slow down and kill ducks and injure deer. Shame on you!

Slugs: BIG SMOKY SLUGS to the guy(s) that fire up their woodstoves that belch out acrid smoke that blankets the whole neighborhood instead of going up in the air. Have a look out your window and see where your smoke is going. Other people have a right to be able to go outside, go for a walk in our neighborhood without being permeated and polluted with stinky smoke; nor have that smoke permeate into our homes. Please have some consideration for others around you.

Hugs: To those who burn responsibly and have consideration for others.

Slugs: Capital SLUGS to those individuals who run their ATV’s in areas designated as non-motorized recreation areas, such as South Star Trails. They rip, rut and wreck the trails causing irreparable damage & ruin the trails for people who just want to hike or cross country ski in a quiet environment. There are many other places for ATV use.

Hugs: To Lee Pratt for his Letter to The Editor in the Daily Townsman. Another example of excessive spending: 11 beautiful benches in 1-1/2 blocks on 14th Ave near the Catholic Church.

Hugs: As I was coming out of Super Store a lady noticed I had a heavy bag of groceries..She kindly lifted it into the trunk and returned my cart to the stand.

A BIG HUG and THANKS for your thoughtfulness. From a senior.

Hugs: I would like to thank EVERYONE at the EKRH for making my “Stress Test” easy and stress free. We, the community, are fortunate to have you and you need to know that!

Slugs: To all the dog owners who walk their dogs at Bootleg Golf Course. The golf course is being very generous in allowing people to walk/cross country ski/snowshoe/sled during the off-season.

They even provide garbage bins for us to use. Some dog owners seem to think it’s OK to let their dogs do their business on the trails and not pick up after them.

In consideration of other responsible dog owners and other people who just enjoy getting out and walking the trails enjoying the scenery, would you please pick up your dogs feces. I have stepped in it many times and never mind the mess in the spring when the snow melts.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the golf course is closed to people in the future because of the mess. Do the right thing and be a responsible dog owner!

Slugs: For the waiting time to get the vouchers to exchange for Kootenay Ice Games. As of right now we still don’t have them. I hope they’ll at least be ready for March.

Slugs: To people who don’t recycle their items in the recycle bins by Core Fitness.

Why leave the stuff on the ground?

Hugs: To the lady I saw coming out of Core Fitness who cleaned up all the stuff on the ground.

Hugs: To the lady at the Kootenay ICE game on Saturday November 23rd that gave my daughter the puck that Shivers tossed out. It was her first game and loved the puck! Thank you!

Hugs: After years of keeping healthy I had a scary afternoon in EKRH Emergency Room. This led to numerous lab tests then and more in following weeks. Hospital Auxiliary members kindly guided me to the correct rooms.

Lab Technicians were very efficient and courteous. Thank you to all who helped.

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.

Carbon neutral scheme sinking

by Tom Fletcher BC Views Two days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin.

Assistant Auditor General Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid.

An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded without assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts. In fact they did proceed without this subsidy. The government continues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them.

The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will continue, Bennett said.

Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy minister will evaluate projects and bestow millions taken from college, university and health authority budgets each year.

B.C.’s school districts are still paying $5 million a year to offset such nefarious activities as heating their schools. But now the money goes into a

“Carbon Neutral Capital Program,” and districts have to apply to get their money back for emission-reducing projects.

This is going so well, according to Bennett, that post-secondary institutions and health authorities will be converted to a similar program in the years ahead.

How is that school program going? Here are some examples.

The Coast Mountains School District around Terrace paid $66,452 for carbon offsets last year. It got back most of its three years of offset payments as a grant to complete a boiler upgrade for its Kitimat high school.

Abbotsford and Nanaimo school districts each have to pay about $100,000 a year. They got money back for school boiler upgrades as well, although local school officials say that would not likely have been the top priority for spending, if it hadn’t been for the program that forces districts to spend grants immediately on emission reduction.

Surrey school district paid out $585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars.

Leaving aside the distortion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive taxand-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade? And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neutral” braintrust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas?

This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals.

Tamara L’Hoost

mArKEtiNG CoNsULtANt

Does anyone actually believe that heating hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming? Presumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that.

And what happens when colleges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade?

It won’t be long at this rate.

In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of B.C. Liberal government.

Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked.

The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate.

His name? Bill Bennett.

Dynamiters and Dragonboaters light a star Submitted What can only be touted as ‘stars’ aligning when the Kimberley Dynamiters Hockey Club, who play a sport on a frozen water in the winter, joined up with the summer paddlers from the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat Team to light a $5,000 star for EKFH’s Starlite Campaign.

The Kimberley Dynamiters recently hosted a fundraiser by auctioning off players’ one of

kind jerseys in support of breast cancer. In return the Dynamiters’ fans did not disappoint and overwhelming got behind the team’s efforts with a total contribution of $3,000 for the cause.

When the Dynamiters realized what an impact the fundraiser had the next step was to decide where to donate the funds and the regional hospital foundation’s annual Starlite Campaign was an easy decision.

“After seeing the success of the digital mammography campaign by the foundation, we knew our donation could make a difference in the ongoing needs for anyone facing breast cancer,” shares Dynamiters President Dave Smith.

When EKFH learned of the gift it was an opportunity to find another supporter who could complement the Dynamiters and get behind the common cause. The Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat Team was a natural fit as the group is made up of survivors and supporters from both Cran-

brook and Kimberley.

The paddlers took no time in approving a supporting $2,000 donation to the Dynamiters to show their appreciation for supporting any individual who receives a breast cancer diagnosis.

Together the two organizations will light the 3rd star of the Starlite Campaign with funds to be stewarded by EKFH for the oncology unit and breast cancer care.

To help light your own path for others, please consider a donation to the 2013 Starlite Campaign visit www.ekfh. ca to make a secured on-line gift.

Fall Deer Mating Season Approaching; Residents Urged To Be Aware

vs

Residents and visitors are advised to continue to exercise both caution and common sense this fall, as the late autumn deer mating (rutting) period begins. That is the message from the City of Cranbrook.

In the weeks leading up to the rut (into November and December) bucks increase their displays of dominance and indirect threats. A dominant buck typically circles a rival with deliberate steps; back arched, head low and tail flicking. Bucks can also display dominance by violently thrashing the bushes with their antlers.

“We are into a transition period, where some does with fawns remain wary and potentially aggressive toward humans with dogs,” says Mayor Wayne Stetski. “Now we will likely also see an increase of particularly aggressive acts from the local urban buck population.

Residents are reminded to please give deer plenty of space to move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer; find another route.”

Help to conserve fish and wildlife in the region Submitted

To help conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in the East Kootenay-Koocanusa region, work is getting under way to develop a Watershed Action Plan, and you’re invited to join the discussion.

When complete in 2014, the plan will incorporate community- and science-based goals, objectives and actions that aim to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in the East Kootenay and Koocanusa area, including the upper Kootenay River watershed, associated tributaries and Koocanusa Reservoir. The plan will outline specific actions to support and enhance lakes, streams, riparian areas, wetlands and upland and dryland areas, as well as species of interest.

This is the first task for the recently announced East Kootenay-Koocanusa Fish and Wildlife Program, a partnership between Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP).

“Area residents have been asking for this type of action plan to address their concerns, and it’s great news that it’s getting under way and residents have a

More than $110 million has been invested in more than 1,500 projects since 1988.

Top projects for Elk Valley Submitted After hearing from over 200 residents and combing through over 750 thoughts, RDEK’s Elk Valley Community Directed Funds Committee is now inviting Elk Valley residents to help identify the best Elk Valley-wide projects and initiatives to receive funding.

Tasked with creating a Community Priorities Plan to allocate $200,000 per year from Columbia Basin Trust over the next three years to create social and economic benefits for region, the Committee is eager to find out how residents will rank 10 Elk Valley projects and initiatives that came out of October’s consultations.

“We were very excited

to see the range of ideas that residents put forward in October,” said Committee Chair Mary Giuliano. “This initiative asked us to think beyond the boundaries of our communities to consider the well-being of the Valley as whole, and that’s something that we’re not always used to doing. We had to eliminate many good ideas that were just too local in nature and therefore outside the mandate of this Committee.”

Until the consultation closes on December 8th, residents can show their support for specific project ideas in one of two ways: 1) visit www.thinkelkvalley. com and following the online instructions, or 2) visit their local City Hall or District Office

to pick up and complete a prioritization form, or look for the tear-out form in the November 28th edition of the Free Press.

The committee continues to seek participation from a broad crosssection of Elk Valley residents and stakeholders, including business, community and public services, education, health, arts & culture, heritage, sports, recreation, environment, seniors, youth and more.

Residents who registered or participated online in October will automatically receive an invitation for this second and final stage of consultation.

Shena Hicks and Don Kennedy spoke about their addiction experiences at the College of the Rockies.

Two College of the Rockies Human Service Worker program students spoke to a gathering of students, faculty, staff and community members about their experiences with addiction on November 19.

A Conversation About Addiction, sponsored

by College of the Rockies’ Diversity Committee and the Library staff, was held in conjunction with National Addictions Awareness Week, November 18-24.

Don Kennedy opened the conversation by revealing his painful experiences with drugs and alcohol. Once a successful businessman, Kennedy lost everything to his addiction and spent many years living on the street before gaining sobriety two years ago.

Now a Program Facilitator at Top of the World Ranch Recovery Centre he is very happy to be alive and able to share his experiences with others today.

“I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I went through to get where I am now,” Kennedy says.

“I want people to learn from my experiences and to really think before getting involved with drugs and alcohol.”

The College’s Human Service Worker program is a starting point for Kennedy’s long-term goal to earn a Bachelor

Degree in Addictions Counselling and perhaps even a Master’s Degree down the road.

“The Human Service Worker program is the right program for me.

Not only does it help me in my own recovery but it gives me the education and know-how to be able to give back to others,” he continues.

Shena Hicks’ story is an equally moving one.

Having grown up around individuals with addiction issues, she began using at a very young age and found herself living on the streets from the ages of 13 to 28.

Now clean for almost five years, Shena has a desire to bring awareness of addiction to youth in an effort to try to prevent them from making some of the same choices she did. She also currently works as a Program Facilitator at Top of the World Ranch.

“My dream is to work with addicts, especially women, and to try to reach them before they end up on the streets,” explains Hicks. “The Human Service Worker program is helping me to get to that goal as it provides the education I need to go along with my experiences.”

Submitted The Kootenay Performing Arts Company in association with Ocean Entertainment Worldwide is proud to present Unforgettable ~ The Songs of Nat King Cole starring Calgary Singer/Actor Tenaj Williams.

Nat King Cole was born Nathaniel Adams Coles at Montgomery, Alabama. He received music lessons from his mother and his family moved to Chicago when

he was only five, where his father Edward James Coles was a minister at the True Light Baptist Church and later Pastor of the First Baptist Church.

Cole appeared in several movies, his last one being Cat Ballou (1965), starring Lee Marvin. Cole received 28 gold record awards for such hits as “Sweet Lorraine”, “Ramblin’ Rose” in 1962, “Too Young” in 1951, “Mona Lisa” in 1949 and Mel Tormé’s “Christmas Song”. His first recordings of the Christmas Song included the lyrics, “Reindeers really know how to fly” instead of “reindeer really know how to fly”, a mistake later corrected

by Capitol Records.

He was also a composer and his song “Straighten Up and Fly Right” was sold for $50. A heavy smoker, he died of lung cancer.

Tenaj Williams was born and raised in the

beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands. It was here that he first developed his passion and love for music. In 1999 he made the move to Canada and with the guidance and support of his family he began taking private vocal lessons and developing his passion.

He started with singing in church choir and any other venues that would

Metis Flag Raising

Saturday, November 16 was Louis Riel Day. The Mount Baker Wild Warriors, our Aboriginal Student Leadership group, put together a great event. On Friday, November 15 we met at City Hall in Cranbrook for a few short speeches by some special dignitaries, including Chief Jim Whitehead, Principal Jason Tichauer, Director Doug McPhee, and from Metis Nation B.C., Marlin Ratch. Mayor Wayne Stetski signed a proclamation declaring November 15 through 22, 2013, as Metis Week.

The beautiful, blue and white infinity Metis flag was raised and can be seen flying above City Hall for the week. Everyone joined in the singing of Proud to be Metis, the Metis National Anthem. There was music and dance, the School District #5 Jiggers, under the direction of Amy Cross, gave us some wonderful entertainment. The students were proud to demonstrate the dances they have been learning to traditional music. They did a wonderful job, and looked great wearing their Metis sashes. Alicia Leasak was our MC, well done, Alicia!

Lots of people joined us, braving some biting winds, but overall the weather was pretty cooperative, considering this was an outdoor event, in November!

After the ceremony, our guests headed over to The Gathering Place at Mount Baker where we shared lunch and stories.

We were delighted that Senator Betty Hoogendoorn from Metis Nation B.C. was able to join us. Our youth and elders enjoyed each others’ company, just being together on this historic occasion.

The Metis flag can also be seen flying above Mt. Baker Secondary School for the week, thanks Ramona! The Warriors really look forward to this annual celebration, thanks to everyone who came out and supported our students, see you next year!

OBITUARY

HARASIUK, Shaun Tyler January 11, 1984 - November 16, 2013 In the early morning hours of Saturday, November 16, 2013.

Shaun Tyler Harasiuk passed away suddenly of natural causes in Cranbrook at the age of 29 years. He was the youngest son of Audrene and Detlef Harasiuk.

Shaun was born January 11, 1984 and grew up here in Cranbrook, BC. His parents raised him as a bush baby, so his love for the outdoors became his roots. He was always exceptional in school and rarely came home with less than an A. Shaun always lived his life to the fullest. Everything he did, he did to the extreme, whether it was hunting, fishing, riding his motor bike or mud bogging. He loved riding with his buddies and said he couldn't hold a candle to a few of them.

His brother Kelly said this about Shaun, "Shaun was an awesome man! Misunderstood by most because he would red line every emotion available, such as loving, sadness, fighting, laughter and anger."

He was always there to help a friend in need. His dad wrote this: "Today in tears, I wonder why, Why my beautiful son had to die?

His life was taken He was yet so young His independence had just begun."

Shaun was predeceased by his grandfather Allen Pocha, grandmother Elva (Pocha) Hinch, by his grandfather Alex Harasiuk and grandmother Charlotte Harasiuk; his uncles Red (Carl) Pocha, Gerald Pocha and Lloyd Pocha, his aunt Diane Bailey and his cousins Ione Clark and Troy Hallot.

He leaves to mourn his mother and father, Audrene and Detlef Harasiuk and his brother Kelly (Chelsey) Harasiuk.

He has a very large family with many aunts, uncles and cousins. He also has an extraordinary circle of friends and we will always miss his quick wit and his outgoing way.

A Memorial Service to celebrate Shaun's life will be held at the Dwelling Place, 2324 - 2nd St. S., Cranbrook on Saturday, November 30, 2013 at 1:30 pm. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Visibility review rejected

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Council unanimously rejected a recommendation that the municipality request a viability review be conducted by the province.

At the meeting on Nov. 19, Myron Thompson, chief administrative officer, brought the issue forward in response to the municipal inspection report from Russell Farmer & Associates Consulting Ltd. Thompson said previous council “determined that immediate action was needed to address the findings in the report” and a spreadsheet was prepared with action and timelines on each of the recommendations. A formal submission accepting the action plan was sent to the Minister of Municipal Affairs in October.

The concluding comments of the municipal inspection said the munici-

pality has never been able to fully complete the amalgamation into a single united community and recommended a viability review be done by the province, added Thompson.

Council members strongly disagreed with the recommendation and said they would not support such a request.

“That the reason most of us are here right now is because we hope to bring the Crowsnest Pass back together and unify it,” said Councillor Marlene Anctil. “There was so much dissension before and we’re hoping to rectify a lot of this... I’m sure we can work with the people and the communities... and I think we can get our community back on track.”

A motion was unanimously approved to send a letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs advising that the Crowsnest Pass is prepared to move forward and get its house in order with no desire to enter into a viability review at this time.

Council has given the go-ahead to construction of the entranceway signs at the east and west ends of the municipality in a 4-3 vote on Nov. 19.

Chief Administrative Officer Myron Thompson said administration wanted to ensure that council approved the design elements and location, primarily on the east end, prior to construction. Previous council had had some discussion around the east location and it had been relocated to east of the Bellevue campground.

“Logistically, this is a preferred location as it provides a safe and convenient pull-off for vehicles and ties in nicely

with the public amenities such as the campground itself, washrooms, tourist information, etc,” said Thompson. “It is also in close proximity to a number of local businesses.”

Several councillors questioned if this location leaves some residents beyond its boundary and whether it should be placed further east, either where the existing sign is or in the area near Leitch Collieries.

Thompson said the geography of Leitch Collieries makes installation challenging and with the ground lower than the highway, the impact of the sign would be minimized. He reiterated that the current location was chosen for its tourism amenities. He said the existing sign would be dismantled and materials

salvaged if possible.

He cautioned that if council chose to move the location it would have to be decided soon as footings have already been poured at a cost of about $2,000 at the campground location.

A total cost of $200,000 had been budgeted for the project and is funded through a provincial grant. There is a contract for the structure, he added, and the total cost will be about $170,000.

The west end sign will be put in the existing location.

Councillor Shar Lazzarotto moved to proceed with the east and west installation as previously decided.

The motion was approved 4-3 with Councillors Marlene Anctil Dave Filipuzzi and Bill Kovach opposed.

As afternoon settled into dusk, the snow became heavier and blowing winds turned visibility into guesswork.

By 6 p.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 19, Alberta Transportation officials said extreme weather conditions forced the closure of Highway 3 between Coleman and Sparwood, B.C. Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue Chief Steve Munshaw said in situations like that, his department’s role is to help motorists, both at the gate and within the municipality.

A group of three fire/rescue personnel went to the gate, said Munshaw, to speak to motorists and get them turned around.

“Vehicles can’t wait there, they can’t block the road off,” he said. “We can only do that in an emergency.”

Fortunately, there wasn’t much traffic, he said.

“We’ve been working with organizations and trucking companies to send out information to identify pass closures… they’re turning around before they get to us,” said Munshaw.

“We have great relationships to provide information to truck traffic.”

The Fire/rescue department also had two people stationed near Tim Horton’s to redirect truckers to the turnoffs in Frank and the Burmis weigh scales.

Munshaw said these locations are plowed and available so dangerous goods are not sitting in the community.

Munshaw said a new system is being implemented on the municipal website that will provide immediate information about road closures. A red banner will be activated with links to a location map of the closure as well as “mustering” locations for rigs where they can drive to wait out the storm. Hard copies of these maps will also be available for truckers at the closure gate.

Munshaw told The Free Press the Crowsnest Pass is unique in the province as no other Alberta community has a gate marking the entrance to a mountain pass. As such, he said, the decision to close the highway is made by Alberta Transportation officials in the southern region who must request closure from the Minister.

Highway 3 reopened at 9:30 p.m.

“The [closure] went excellent,” said Munshaw. “Everything went very well and we had a good response with traffic.”

Council looks at remuneration

By Joni MacFarlane Editor On Nov. 19, municipal council addressed the thorny issue of how much they are paid for meetings, travel and other expenses necessary to do their job.

Chief Administrative Officer Myron Thompson said the policy committee had been working on this and that “normally when it comes to changes in

remuneration, the existing council, the old council, tries to deal with that prior to the election time so that the new council comes in and doesn’t have to make these kinds of decisions”.

Work had been done on the issue, he said, but not formalized and so, administration was bringing it forward for the new council’s review.

The monthly stipend hasn’t been amended

since 2000 and the meeting remuneration hasn’t been changed since 2008, said Thompson.

Currently, council members are paid $160 per day for meetings in excess of six hours, $160 per day for meetings in excess of one day, $50 per day for expenses while attending out of town meetings, mileage at the provincial rate per kilometre set in April each year, $70 for

meetings less than six hours, and a monthly stipend of $500 for a councillor and $800 for the mayor.

They are not reimbursed for social or other events promoting the Crowsnest Pass nor are they reimbursed if they receive payment from another organization such as a board or committee.

Council members asked for clarification on length of time of meetings. They also

suggested the per diem of $50 be increased to $75, to look at reimbursement for office supplies and expenses which are not covered, and to bring back comparative information from other municipalities on monthly stipends.

After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed that a draft would be brought back to council at the Dec. 9 GPC meeting.

Council reviews delegation approval process

By Joni MacFarlane Editor In one of their first meetings, council clearly signalled they intend to change past practices of determining who is allowed to speak at Governance & Priorities Committee (GPC) meetings.

On Nov. 19, the terms of reference for GPC’s was brought forward by Chief Administrative Officer Myron Thompson for council’s review.

The current GPC was developed in 2010 as a result of an organizational review by George Cuff. It was intended to “reduce the number of council committees operating and thereby increase the efficiency and effectiveness of council processes”, said Thompson.

The GPC is meant to be “advisory in nature... [and] meant to breed more discussion”, he said.

There are no formal resolutions or motions made, any council member can ask to have something put on the agenda, the public may attend with the exception of in-camera items, and delegations if allowed to speak may do so for a maximum of 10 minutes, unless the mayor extends the time.

“Requests for delegations may be reviewed by the CAO who will then determine whether or not the delegation shall be heard by the GPC or by council at the next regularly scheduled meeting,” said Thompson. “All delegations must comply with the provisions of the procedural bylaw with regards to providing briefing materials.”

Councillor Bill Kovach asked if public input was allowed and was told it hadn’t been the practice but could be if council chose to do so. Mayor Blair Painter suggested public input be included on the agenda.

Councillor Dean Ward asked if the CAO could refuse a delegation at either GPC or council. Thompson said that unless the matter was urgent, the preference had been to handle the request at GPC. “Definitely there have been times when the CAO has decided that an item won’t come forward and that would be on the basis... that it can be handled administratively,” said Thompson.

No appeal process has been incorporated into the policy, he added, but again, it could be if council wanted.

Mayor Blair Painter agreed the issue

of determining who gets on the agenda was important. “... it’s still at the total discretion of the CAO as to what material gets presented to that committee?” he questioned.

“All delegations are put on the draft agenda template for review with the mayor,” said Thompson. “All of them are put on there and if it’s determined that this one here doesn’t really require coming to council, it can be handled this way, then that would be the decision of the CAO and the mayor during the agenda review.”

“I have a concern... When you strike a committee where a minority of council decides what comes to council and what does not,” said Councillor Ward. “I want to change that situation. If anyone from council feels that an issue is important enough to bring to council... they should have that opportunity.”

Councillor Ward said he would bring forward a motion to change the procedural bylaws to reflect this.

It was also agreed that changes to the Terms of Reference would be brought back to council at the Dec. 9 GPC meeting.

Vaccines, a sensible choice

Most of his short life was spent in a wheelchair. His stick-thin limbs were weak. His back, unnaturally humped, twisted his spine and put pressure on his lungs.

Heavy metal braces attached to his wrists allowed him to rise occasionally from his wheelchair and stand for a minute on his own steam.

A healthy toddler, at the age of three he was struck with polio in the epidemic that swept across Canada in the 1950s.

A good chuck of his life was spent lying in a hospital bed as doctors worked to alleviate his suffering through surgeries and other procedures, now startlingly antiquated.

At the age of 16, he lost the fight and died.

His name was Michael and he was my eldest brother.

Thanks to a vaccine, the World Health Organization certified Canada polio-free in 1994.

It’s another story in a few developing countries. A strain originating in Pakistan has recently crippled more than a dozen children in war-torn Syria as refugees flood across borders potentially putting neighbouring countries, and even Europe, at risk of contagion.

Closer to home, I’m alarmed at the recent measles outbreak – another highly contagious virus that attacks the respiratory system.

So far, 40 cases have been confirmed in Alberta Health Services, South Zone and another in Saskatchewan. Physicians believe they will see more cases over the next few months, if not longer. With Christmas around the corner and many people travelling for the holidays, it’s a good bet.

Today, parents in Canada have access to publicly funded vaccines to immunize their children against a number of diseases but there are still some who refuse to do so in the misguided believe it will cause more harm than good. To me, this is shocking.

A research paper published a link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. The architect of the theory, Andrew Wakefield, has since been thoroughly discredited and the study has been called, “the most damaging medical hoax of the last 100 years”.

The British Medical Journal published a series of articles detailing extensive manipu-

lation of data and in documents obtained under Freedom of Information legislation, it was found that Wakefield, in partnership with the father of one of the boys in the study, had planned to launch diagnostic kits that he would profit from.

Unfortunately, the damage the study has done is limitless.

Although clearly debunked and condemned, a generation of parents who’ve never seen the ravaging effects of disease – thanks to vaccines – have bought into the message that they’re dangerous.

The injustice that is illness and its prevention is one of mankind’s greatest achievements – penicillin, early diagnostic tools, and vaccines have saved untold families from suffering and death.

To scorn and ignore those achievements isn’t just misguided, it’s selfish. Vaccination works on the principle of the many protecting the few. The more people in a population who do not get vaccinated, the more the whole population is jeopardized.

That’s why the World Health Organization officially declared smallpox eradicated in 1979 – the only disease we no longer need fear. That’s why no other small child in Canada will suffer like my brother did.

Talk to your family doctor - vaccinate your children.

Questions answered as information provided to council

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Municipal council members were handed a mountain of paper on Nov. 19 resulting from an earlier request for information from Councillor Dean Ward.

There were seven items requested and supplied. These included a copy of the municipal budget including reserves, job descriptions for union and non-union employees, information on ongoing legal issues, and an update on the Wolfstone Development including risks and possible solutions.

Council had also asked for administration employee contracts and job evaluations. Thompson said the CAO position is the only administration employee contract in place and council is not privy to performance evaluations except for that of the CAO. “My evaluation is redundant at this time since I am vacating the position,” he said.

The Deputy Fire Chief is on contract until December 2014 but the contract review is at the end of 2013, Thompson said, and the Economic Development Officer is on a one-year term due in June.

Thompson also reported that there were seven grievances “on-the-go” and a number were resolved at a joint unionmanagement meeting held earlier that day.

He confirmed that three grievances were tentatively going to arbitration. The cost of arbitration depends on several factors such as how long it lasts, the arbitrator’s fees, and how many witnesses are called, among others. Each side appoints and pays for an arbitrator and the cost of a third government-

appointed arbitrator is split between the union and the municipality.

Councillor Dave Filipuzzi said the cost is very expensive and can be anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 per case.

Two that currently exist, Thompson said, pertain to contracting out services – one is relative to road grading preparation prior to the application of dust suppressant in the spring, and the other relates to using the Town of Pincher Creek to assist with work during the June flooding event.

“The union has grieved the fact that the municipality did not put processes in place, or call out, those staff members back on overtime,” said Thompson.

There is also a position recently created and communicated to the union that is being grieved based on the required qualifications and flexibility that’s being extended for that position, he said.

“We’ll be working with the union to try and resolve this, however it appears it may go to arbitration as well,” Thompson added.

Two other grievances exist – one regarding a union member paid out for sick days while on leave and another policy grievance on harassment. A harassment workshop was held last fall and another one scheduled for the new year for all staff to attend, Thompson told council.

Lastly, Thompson confirmed that the municipality has submitted the required information to the province for flood recovery funding and that they’re still awaiting word on who will handle backcountry recovery work.

MP candidate Wagner

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

An entrepreneur with rural roots believes he has the right mix of skills to represent the Tories in the soon-to-be-vacant Macleod riding.

Scott Wagner officially declared his candidacy to run for the Conservative Party of Canada after the recent announcement by MP Ted Menzies that he would be retiring Jan. 1.

Wagner, growing up in one of the province’s prime grain-producing regions, Oyen, Alberta, he became familiar with agriculture issues and the problems facing ranchers and farmers. His father was a grain manager and his wife is a rancher’s daughter, further solidifying those roots, he added.

After specializing in computer science at the University of Calgary, Wagner worked with a small computer company before going on to open his own business.

He’s since had three successful computer companies, he said, and has also been involved in the wind energy business.

“I’m a serial entrepreneur and I’ve been very successful doing that,” said Wagner. “I sold my last business two years ago with the expectation of running for office.

Wagner said he especially wants to be in federal politics and believes he has things to offer that are very important.

“As a competitive nation, we need skills, business and entrepreneurial skills, that will help government,” he said. “I have a unique skill set and look at things differently.”

Wagner said as a business owner he understands how to maximize the value of a dollar with limited resources.

“The key to Canada is to be competitive and the federal government has huge input into how things work,” he said.

“The Conservatives have

a very positive direction on that and I want to advance it more.”

Reducing taxes to make the market more competitive and reducing government bureaucracy are some of the issues Wagner feels strongly about.

“We have to have government regulation, but we can’t have bureaucracy layering on stuff to stop people from doing positive things,” he said.

He said he understands many of the issues in the Macleod riding, such as

those ranchers are experiencing around origin labelling on beef, but remains optimistic about the Conservatives’ efforts.

“They’re making the best out of a tough situation. They’re making progress and I want to be part of that,” he said.

“For instance, they’re opening new markets such as the free trade agreement with Europe, which is amazing.”

“I’m an entrepreneur and I know how to create value out of a buck.

I have great experience on boards and in high level management and my private sector view is quite strong,” said Wagner. “I have an extensive background and can touch base with both rural and business communities.”

The Conservative Party of Canada has to call a by-election within six months from the date of Menzies’ retirement announcement. Watch the CNP Free Press for more information as details become known.

Insurance companies challenged

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

From flooding to drought, from hailstorms to wildfires, Canadians are seeing severe weather incidents in many parts of the country. Whether you’re a climate change believer or not, the severity and frequency of weather-related damage to property is causing changes within the insurance industry.

In response to increased claims from natural disasters such as Alberta’s flooding incident last June, insurance companies are working to understand how they adapt to these realities.

Marie Ruzek, broker at Crowsnest Insurance Agencies Ltd., said there are numerous factors taken into consideration when providing insurance or calculating premiums, but there are a few irrefutable facts.

Severe weather events have impacted a greater number of people year over year and in fact, 2013 will be the third consecutive year in a row that the industry has seen losses greater than a billion dollars.

In Alberta, there were 65 hailstorms in the summer of 2011; over a third of insured losses in Canada were attributed to thunderstorms; and water damage has now surpassed fire as the number one cause of insurance claims.

Ruzek said insurance companies have been treating some

things differently, such as flood zones, but increases have been implemented across the board. Crowsnest Insurance Agencies Ltd. provides insurance through Intact Insurance, she said, who have raised the base deductible for wind and hail, as well as sewer backup claims. Provincially, most companies have done the same, she added.

“The area you live in has a big influence [on premiums], whether it’s prone to hailstorms, or floods, or wind,” she said.

Although the insurance industry is looking at increases to premiums and deductibles, Ruzek said they are also looking at preventative measures. They may include using different housing materials such as siding or installing backwater valves, a one-way control valve installed directly on the main sewer drain of the property. The valve is designed to prevent sewage in an overloaded or blocked sewer line from backing up into the home.

“Insurance companies have to start making changes to their product due to weather without just having premium increases,” she said.

Ruzek has owned Crowsnest Insurance Agencies Ltd. since 1997, along with three other licensed brokers, will be happy to help you better understand your insurance needs.

Ruzek, along with Alycia Sagrafena, also own Crowsnest License & Registry Ltd.

Committee talks economic development plans

By Joni MacFarlane Editor The Crowsnest Economic Development Advisory Committee (CEDTAC) held its first meeting with their new municipal council representative, Councillor Dave Filipuzzi, on Nov. 18.

Formed last summer, the committee is comprised of six community members, one municipal board appointed member and Sherry Poole, the municipal Economic Development Officer (EDO).

According to its draft strategic plan, members are professionals, “all dedicated towards implementation of economic development strategies dedicated in creating a healthy and sustainable quality of life for Crowsnest Pass residents as well as creating an excellent tourist experience in attraction of visitors”.

Committee members attended a training session on economic development last summer and have been working on developing a strategic plan, terms of reference, clarification of roles and responsibilities, and formation of an action plan with accountabilities.

After Councillor Filipuzzi introduced himself, Poole provided an understanding of how an advisory committee works and how it represents council. She said sub-committees would be appointed who are the “doers” of the action items and committee members are accountable for these actions.

Poole emphasized that the committee’s responsibility is advisory but they are still connected to results. Action items are presented to council through the CAO. “The tree of command is truly top-down just like any municipality initiative,” said Poole. “All information is to be filtered up to the council and ultimately, they are the decision-makers.”

Poole said the committee is obliged to present an annual report to council but she would like to have a quarterly report prepared for budget deliberations.

The committee prepares a budget to be presented to council, said Poole, but all initiatives are driven by “in kind” income. Economic development initiatives are tied back to an equal amount of money coming from all parties involved,” she said.

One of the initiatives discussed was the DimeStore Fisherman show, an Alberta produced television show that promotes a fishing destination. Poole said that although there’s a void in marketing fishing in Crowsnest Pass, the cost make exceed the benefits. The show requires payment of up to $25,000 from the municipality, she added.

“There are so many other things you could take $25,000 to promote, not only the fishing aspect, but the outdoors,” said Patrick Sager, committee chairperson.

It was agreed that the committee needs to promote all-season activities and not spend money without good sense.

Poole reported that an Economic Disaster Recovery team from the BC and Alberta Economic Developers Associations were in the Crowsnest Pass conducting business visitations to discover the impacts of flooding on the local economy.

The team would present their results in mid-December, Poole added.

Attendance at the Western Hotel & Conference Investment Seminar in Vancouver was productive, Poole told the committee, with three proposals sent out to investors – two to Saskatchewan and one to the Netherlands. She said if interested, they will do their own risk analysis but will also request an updated feasibility study and a more detailed site plan.

Poole said the site plan that accompanied the proposal was “not worthy of a $10 million site” and it was agreed Stantec needs to prepare a more thorough plan that “gives it the credibility it deserves”.

Meetings were scheduled in December to review the hotel proposal and to finalize the strategic plan.

WHISPERING WINDS FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL (403) 627-1997

By Joni MacFarlane Editor As the province moves towards finalization of a regional land use plan for the Crowsnest Pass and with a municipal development plan (MDP) over 12 years old, council learned that a new plan must soon be developed.

Mike Burla and Ryan Dyck with the Oldman River Regional Services Commission (ORRSC) made a brief presentation to council on Nov. 19 giving an overview of what an MDP is, why a new one is needed, the process required, and a possible timeframe for action.

MDP’s are a mandatory requirement for municipalities in Alberta with a population of 3,500 or more. With the adoption in April 2014 of the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan, every local government will have to make all necessary policy changes within five years, said Burla.

In addition, the Crowsnest Pass plan was last updated in 2001.

“Changes to the demographic, economic and social make up and the needs and aspirations of the municipality... necessitate the formation of a new MDP,” Burla told council.

The recently revised Land Use Bylaw adopted earlier this year is a day-to-day plan, he added,

while the MDP is more of a long-range plan to address future land use and development, provisions of transportation systems, and municipal services and facilities.

It may also address development constraints, environmental matters, financial resources of the municipality and other physical, social and economic development issues.

Burla said the ORRSC has had a long relationship with the municipality of Crowsnest Pass and has been in the planning business in southern Alberta since 1955.

He suggested that the timeframe for a new MDP for Crowsnest Pass would be about 18 months and they would be available to begin as early as next month. Burla added that ORRSC would be doing a number of these plans over the next five years for 40 municipalities.

The cost of the process has been reduced for Crowsnest Pass because the population and assessment values have decreased, he said, and is now in the range of $30,000 to $35,000. Myron Thompson, chief administrative officer, said $30,000 was earmarked for the project in the 2013 budget.

Burla emphasized that a large part of designing the MDP would be to esnure public consultation at the front end of the process.

Myron Thompson, chief administrative officer, later reported that 16.5 per cent of revenue from fines is sent to the province.

Community Peace Officers also joined the Fire/ Rescue Department in providing presentations to schools on Oct. 29 and 30 regarding Halloween safety. They were also out and about handing out candy to kids on Halloween evening.

Bellevue Underground Mine busy year-round

By Joni MacFarlane Editor It may be considered the off-season, but staff at the Bellevue Underground Mine haven’t let that slow them down on plans to make the attraction a fantastic experience for residents and visitors alike.

First, said Manager Crystal Potts-Johnson, the crew at Bellevue Underground Mine spent several weeks painting, sprucing up the interior and expanding the office space.

The gift shop was moved and the hallways, cupboards and floors were painted. Mine Interpreter, Stephanie Lanting used her creative skills and painted the floors a unique pattern resembling bricks.

At the end of October, the mine’s office at the M.D. McEachern Community Centre was incorporated into the main building and new space was created for interpreters.

In addition, said Potts-Johnson, an addition was built onto an out-building that is now used for storage space.

“Our museum space is very limited, so we’re taking out everything that isn’t specific to the Bellevue Underground Mine,” she said. “We have lots of donations from people that are mining-related but that’s not where we’re going. We want to focus on artifacts relative to this mine.”

Students from Nippon Institute of Technology selected the mine for their architectural program and built a gazebo in September that can be used by visitors for resting or having lunch.

The other focus for the team is working towards building a new interpretive centre. Proceeds from the mine’s gala event, Music From the Mine, have been raised and a proposal has been sent in to the provincial government.

Potts-Johnson said they have partnered with Stantec Engineering who prepared initial drawings now under review for approval by the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation.

The intention is to build a new interpretive centre to resemble an old tipple or washhouse set into the mountain on the northeast side. A new parking area would be constructed and visitors could park at the top, visit the new centre and then walk down to the mine for their tour.

“This building was built in 1989,” said PottsJohnson. “It was only a temporary solution but here we are in 2013.”

The office and gift shop would also be moved to the top of the site and the existing building would be used for preserving the mine’s collection, she added.

New signage will be created to make the site more visible from the highway, said Potts-Johnson, and one that makes it worthy of the attraction.

Ron Price, mine inspector, makes daily checks inside the mine. Although incredibly sturdy, Price said a few places need re-timbering inside.

“Just making sure everything is safe and sound,” he said. “The ground is always moving.”

Potts-Johnson added that the portal is also deteriorating and needs to be preserved – a process that also requires provincial approval because of the historical significance.

Although still hiring summer students, a volunteer program has been set up to recruit community members for various duties at the facility.

Ten people have signed up, said Potts-Johnson, who will work as guides, help at the fundraising gala and assist with group tours.

“We want to let people know that we’re entrusted with the mine but it’s the people here who own it,” said Potts-Johnson. “We want to bring the community out more and show our appreciation.”

In addition, the mine is exploring a seniors outreach program as well as something for the local schools.

A new website, memberships, unique collector’s items, and localized giftware are other opportu-

nities the mine is looking at implementing.

“We’re focusing on what’s important and what needs to be done,” said Potts-Johnson. “We’re working on bringing the community in closer to the mine. We’re here for them, we’re just entrusted with it.

This is the first time the mine has been open all year and Potts-Johnson said they’ve seen a lot of visitors in the past two months.

“A lot of people are hearing we’re open who don’t have time in the summer and are stopping in now,” she said. “It’s a unique experience. There’s nowhere else in western Canada you can actually see what life was like in an underground mine.”

Book fair makes Christmas easy

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Do you have a child or young teen who’s a book lover or you’re looking for an original gift for Christmas?

To the rescue is next week’s book fair at Isabelle Sellon School.

Books, activity items, school supplies and giftware can be previewed at the school on Thursday, Nov. 28 and purchased on Friday, Nov. 29 for the school’s annual book fair.

School librarian Sandra O’Brien said the book fair has been an annual tradition for a very long time, probably 25 years. The event is very popular, she said, with many Crowsnest Pass students, parents, teachers and residents.

As well as providing a broad variety of books and gifts just in time for Christmas, the book fair is a fundraiser for the school, said O’Brien.

They receive 60 per cent of the profits, that are then used to buy more books for the library.

O’Brien said the school sometimes earns as much as $2,500.

Books are geared for pre-schoolers up to young teens, ages 13 to 14, as well as a few adult and teacher resources, she said.

Everyone is invited to preview the book fair during regular school hours on Nov. 28 and purchases can be picked up the following day during regular school hours.

Troubleshooting Inkjet Printers Inkjet printers are mainly designed for home use, which means that when problems arise, you don’t have a technical support team at your beck and call.

In many cases, you can contact the manufacturer for support, but there are a number of common troubleshooting steps you can try first to see if you can resolve the issue on your own. Most problems fall into a number of common categories, and often a few simple steps can get you back up and running.

Here are some troubleshooting steps to try before you contact support for further help: Reset and Check Connections A surprising number of issues can be resolved by simply powering down the printer and the computer to reset any print jobs that may have gotten stuck or print queue errors. While you’re at it, unplug the printer from the wall for several minutes.

While both machines are powered down, you should also unplug and replug the cables connected to the printer on both ends. Make sure both connections are secure, and that there are no signs of damage to the cable. If there are, replace the cables. Restart the computer and allow it to fully boot, then plug the printer into a power outlet and restart it as well.

Check the Cartridges Many issues that involve print quality such as streaking, ghost printing, and more have to do with an empty or malfunctioning ink cartridge. Remove the cartridges one by one and inspect them. It is possible your cartridge is empty, even if the printer is not alerting you. Also, check to make sure they are fully locked into place.

Check to see if the print heads look clogged. If so, you can try cleaning the print heads, first running the internal process, and then cleaning by hand if necessary. Of course, the simplest way to fix a problem with ink cartridges is simply to replace them, even if it is only temporarily, to test whether they are the cause.

Check for Paper Jams or Particles Another major culprit for printing problems is the paper. First, make sure you don’t have a paper jam. If the printer is stating that you have a paper jam, but you don’t see one, you may have small particles of paper stuck near the sensors.

Check the Paper It is also a good idea to examine the paper you are using. Is it creased? Does it appear to be sticking to other pages? You can also try fanning the paper with your finger to loosen it slightly, and remember to practice preventative paper care, such as storing paper away from moisture. Make sure the paper tray is not loaded too heavily by only loading a few pages as a test.

You should also check the label to ensure that the paper you are using is designed for use with an inkjet printer. Some types of laser paper or copy paper may give poor results if used with an inkjet model.

Update the Drivers Communication errors can cause a number of printing problems, so it may be a good idea to try updating the printer driver.

Microsoft Fix It If you are using Windows, and suspect that your problem is related to the operating system, Microsoft provides a program called Microsoft Fix It that may be able to help. By installing the program and choosing to troubleshoot printer problems, you may be able to resolve issues with the print queue or unresponsive ports.

Still No Luck?

If you have tried all of these steps and you are still experiencing problems with your printer, it may be time to contact the manufacturer or a repair shop for help. At the very least, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you have tried the most obvious troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

Crowsnest Pass Eat & Drink CHEF DEZ ON COOKING

Seasonal Beverages for the Winter Months The upcoming holiday season is a very special time of the year that is celebrated not only with food, but with favorite drinks as well.

Family and friends come together to eat, drink, and commemorate the precious relationships that they hold with each other.

Throughout the years there have been many beverages made to help capture the essence of the season and these gatherings.

Eggnog is probably the first seasonal beverage that comes to mind. Eggnog is a drink that seems to have originated in Britain from a drink called a posset. This was a mixture of eggs, milk, and ale, sherry, or brandy. Posset was served in small, carved, wooden mugs called “noggins”, and thus the name “eggnog” was created. In North America the recipe was altered with rum as the replacement for the ale, sherry, or brandy.

In today’s world, eggnog is not necessarily served with alcohol and is a favorite for many of all ages. There are numerous recipes available to make eggnog from scratch, but most just buy it pre-made in a carton.

The varieties available to us at our local grocery stores also include a light version that is lower in fat, and at some locations, a no-fat variety. It is mostly served chilled either with or without ice, but I prefer to served it hot, individually, like a steamed milk, and garnished with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg. If you aren’t likely to make your eggnog from a recipe, at least buy whole nutmeg versus pre-ground, and try it grating it fresh onto the eggnog before serving. The flavour difference is incredible.

Hot apple cider and mulled wines are other wintertime favorites. These creations are made by heating either cider or red wine with a combination of favorite spices to infuse flavour. There is an endless combination of spices

that one can use, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, star anise, and many other warm complimenting flavours. Sugar is not usually added to hot apple ciders as the base cider used in the recipe already provides an abundance of natural sweetness from the apples. Mulled wines require a bit of sugar to compliment the feeling of consuming a warm festive drink, while also offsetting some of the acidity in the wine. Mulled wines that are heated for a long period of time are less likely to contain as much residual alcohol. Many prefer to have most of the alcohol still left in the finished product and thus cook it briefly. Whichever way you choose to serve and consume this wonderful seasonal favourite, just remem-

ber n o t to boil the wine.

Boiling the wine will rapidly increase the amount of evaporation and risk the chance of the mulled wine being too strong tasting in the end.

A Swedish and Finnish version of mulled wine is called glogg. It is much sweeter and always has a high alcohol content. The final touch to glogg is the addition of a few almonds and raisins to each glass being served. Mulled wines are documented to have been in existence from as early as 400 A.D. in European areas, and thus have quite the history.

Always remember that seasonal beverages do not have to contain alcohol to be enjoyable. A heated cranberry juice or grape juice, for example, with the same warming spices can be made to replace mulled wine.

Furthermore, there are so many choices of fantastic herbal teas and syrups for coffees that capture the essence of the season beautifully. Whatever beverage you choose to help celebrate during the holidays, please drink responsibly.
