Elk Valley Water Quality Plan Consultation Open Houses Teck is working with communities, First Nations and governments to create an Elk Valley Water Quality Plan that will maintain the health of the watershed and support continued, sustainable mining in the Elk Valley.

The process to develop the plan will include three formal public consultation periods, with the first period taking place from October 28 to November 29. Further public consultation periods will take place in 2014.

We are asking for your feedback on the framework we are using to develop the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan. Your input during this public consultation period is an important part of the development of the Plan. More information and an online feedback form are available at www.teck.com/ElkValley

Recently, more than 50 4-H members from the Kootenay region joined at Rock Lake United Church Camp.

It was an amazing weekend filled with fun, laughs, challenges, games and most of all; friendships.

Friday evening started with everyone getting to know each other and settling into their sleeping quarters. Bingo was played and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Saturday everyone was up and started breakfast at 8 a.m. and activites started by 9.

The most amazing tiedyed t-shirts were created by the members and some leadaers, they created name tags and created a group identity poster.

Thank you to Columbia Basin Trust for helping us with our craft expenses.

Before lunch the challenges began and the grops united in their abilities. The groups

were composed of all ages from 5 to 17 and were ran by senior 4-H members. Leadership, organization and skill were all apparent.

Lunch was taco-in-abag and then the challenges resumed. They had Bingo survivor challenges, scrabble using 12” x 12” letters, relays, taste testing and so many more very interesting challenges.

With only minutes to rest, supper was served and everyone ate very well. Relaxinb time and fun games of volleyball were played and then the evening ended with team awards - thank you Teck Coal for the prizes - and cake and

again Bingo.

Sunday morning everyone met for breakfast and clean-up was completed. This was an awarding weekend for everyone that attended. The leadership skills obtained, the peer respect, the understanding and kindness was seen throughout the weekend. A special thank you to Columbia Basin Trust, Triangles Women’s Institute, Teck Coal and all the leaders, parents and alum ni for making this such a successful event. A special thank hyou to our challenge leader who spent endless hours of preparation and challenge searches.

YOUR CITY....

WORKING FOR YOU!

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.

Fall Deer Mating Season Approaching; Residents Urged To Be Aware

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.”

Coffee with the Mayor @ McDonald’s - Saturday November 9, 2013 from 1 – 4pm

You are invited to have coffee with Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski at McDonald’s on Saturday November 9, 2013 from 1 – 4pm. The afternoon is open for one-on-one discussion for you to discuss concerns and ask questions about the City of Cranbrook. Refreshments are not provided. Please come and join us!

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter at Bay

Life in winter can be daunting for seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry.

Fortunately retirement housing at Columbia Garden Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter.

Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and air-conditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind.

Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which are certain to be filled with friendly

faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the onsite chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join.

Columbia Garden Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building.

With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at the Golden Life location in Kimberley.

“I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for.

But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.”

No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life.

Columbia Garden Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Columbia Garden Village at (250) 341-3350 for more information or to book a tour.

Settling in for the winter

No matter how much time or warning we receive about winter weather approaching, it seems that at my house the first snowfall always comes as a bit of a surprise and sends us into a frenzy of activity to get the last bit of winterizing done.

By now, some good hard frosts have caused the perennials to go dormant. That does not mean their contribution to a beautiful yard is done for the season. Unless you are concerned about removing dead or diseased parts of the plants, most perennials can be left alone in the fall, some of them adding great winter interest.

Grasses will rustle in the frosty winds, their wheat-coloured stalks a nice contrast against the fresh snow. The branches of deciduous ornamental shrubs may have lost their leaves, but many have brightly coloured stems that will add a splash of colour and texture to the white winter landscape.

Some of your plants will need extra protection to increase their chances of making it safely through the cold months. Any hybrid tea roses and other bush-type roses, such as floribundas and grandifloras, can get severely injured or even killed by the winter weather if they are left unprotected.

To get them ready for below zero temperatures, remove any fallen leaves and debris to help reduce a problem with disease next season and keep insects from over-wintering in them. Loosely tie the rose’s canes together to prevent them being whipped around by strong winds. If you have a climbing rose, wrap the stems in burlap or lay them down on the ground where they can be protected with peat moss.

After they have been hardened by several nights with temperatures well below zero, cover the bottom 10 to 16 inches of the rose canes with peat moss. If you use a rose collar, you will likely not need as much peat moss and it will help you hold it in place more tightly. Once it snows, the white stuff piled high on top of the peat moss also makes for great insulation. Do not use leaves or grass clippings for protection as this could be creating a breeding ground for disease and rodents.

Most established, hardy shrub roses, such as those from the Explorer and Morden series, will usually not need any special winter protection to come through the cold season. If you are unsure what level of protection is best for your plant, ask your nursery expert at the garden centre.

Strawberries can also benefit from mulching to prevent winter injury. Clean, weed-free wheat or oat straw is the best mulching material. Again, after a few nights when the temperature reaches to well below the freezing point, the crop can be covered. Small rodents can cause considerable damage in your strawberry patch, so keep an eye out for footprints and burrows throughout the winter and set out traps as required.

Mice, rabbits and other rodents also like to clip off small stems of shrubs and trees at the snow level or gnaw on the bark of woody plants. This can result in heavy damage and even the complete girdling of trees. Plastic tree spirals and cylinders of hardware cloth wrapped around the base of the trunks can be a low-cost rodent insurance.

One of the last chores is to properly clean and store your garden tools to prolong their lifetime and get a head start for the spring. Remove cakedon soil and wash tools with plenty of clean water; make sure to dry them well before putting them away. Sharpen the blades of mowers, pruners and spades and wipe metal surfaces with an oily rag or spray them with WD-40. Sand rough wooden handles and wipe with linseed oil to prevent drying. Drain your garden hoses and coil them up to prevent kinking.

After that it is time to relax and get ready for the upcoming holiday season.

Till next time… happy hibernating.

Since the very first cancer treatment centre in BC opened in a renovated house in Vancouver in 1938, the BC Cancer Agency has grown to a world renowned research organization that puts patients first in treating and preventing cancer. “Providing 75 years of cancer care to the people of British Columbia is a truly impressive accomplishment. Our provincial approach to cancer care has given BC some of the best cancer outcomes in Canada; and we should all take pride in the fact that the BC Cancer Agency is world renowned for its care, treatment and research,� said Terry Lake, Minister of Health.

Back in 1938, cancer treatment was focused on the use of radiation treatment. Today, cancer experts have a range of leading-edge treatments based on local and global research to tackle the disease. “The BC Cancer Agency is the out-

standing institution it is today because of the hard work, passion and bright minds of those that came before us. Our predecessors showed great foresight when they set up a provincial network of care. This system continues today and no matter where a patient lives in BC they have access to the same quality of cancer care,� said Dr. Max Coppes, president, BC Cancer Agency.

Throughout the last 75 years the BC Cancer Agency has been at the forefront of many cancer breakthroughs: • creating the world’s first cervical cancer screening program in the 1950s, and reducing cervical cancer rates in the province by 70 per cent • establishing Canada’s first breast cancer screening program in 1988, and decreasing breast cancer rates by 25 per cent in BC • launching a tissue tumour repository – the first research resource of its kind in Canada • pioneering oncoge-

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.” said Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services Chief Wayne Price, adding “it also will make walking easier for our local mail and newspaper carriers and the public at large.”

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.

Public Works Director Joe McGowan said, “it creates issues for our snow removal crews, as the plow will need to make an additional run down your street to clean it up. That additional run increases the City’s costs with additional staff time, fuel and equipment wear and tear, not to mention delays in getting to other areas of the City that also need to be plowed.”

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.” said 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.”

The City of Cranbrook has a comprehensive Snow and Ice Control policy in place. A copy of that policy is available on the City’s website – www.cranbrook. ca.

New information system for students Submitted

A new web-based service will dramatically improve the ability of B.C. parents and teachers to follow and support students’ educational progress -- from kindergarten through to graduation, Minister of Education Peter Fassbender announced today.

“This is an amazing opportunity to connect everyone in our education system like never before. The new service will make it far easier for parents to engage in ongoing conversation about their child’s progress and for teachers to gain better insights into their students. It will also deliver powerful

collaboration tools to better engage students in their own learning and help educators share learning strategies and materials with their colleagues across the province,” said Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education.

The ministry has entered into a 12-year contract with Fujitsu Consulting (Canada) Inc. to deliver ConnectEdBC, a new hosted student information system. The new online platform will make it easier to engage students in their own learning, for parents to connect with educators, and for teachers to collaborate and share learning materials.

The new service will

be built around Follett Corporation’s Aspen Student Information System software, selected for its proven ability to support the BC Education Plan’s focus on personalized learning and other key B.C. requirements, including: * A secure webbased portal, accessible through all browsers (including mobile device browsers), to provide parents, students and teachers with realtime access to student records, assignments and learning resources. * The ability for parents and students to monitor progress on a continual basis and communicate securely with teachers and school-based staff. * A modern, easy-tolearn and easy-to-use interface. * The ability for students to submit work online and for teachers to collaborate and

ing that these savings can be directed into classrooms,” said Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education.

This is the third year that the Ministry of Education has worked with the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. to procure buses using the Standing Offer Pricing model, which achieves the best possible pricing. Previously, school districts negotiated with bus providers individually.

Contractors, Independent schools and First Nations schools also are able to take advantage of this pricing which has resulted

in savings of 10 to 15 per cent each year and saves districts significant administrative and staff time.

Thank you!

A great big thank you to Dr. Barnard, Dr. Schieman, Dr. Huyser, Dr. Dawson, the wonderful nurses and all the technicians in the ER on Sunday. Thanks to nurses Tracy and Melissa on the second floor for your great care and wonderful bedside manner, and everyone who assisted in my surgery-sorry I can’t remember everyone’s names. Thank you to everyone that works in the kitchen at the hospital as well, you seldom get recognised for your contributions.

Hugs: To Joy in the Poolside shop at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.

Joy made the experience of trying on bathing suits, perhaps not joyful, but at least less painful than usual by being friendly, patient and helpful.

Hugs: To our local authorities for handling the stand off incident on October 30 with great skills and professionalism.

Slugs: To all the people who continued to drive down the Strip, even though you KNEW and could SEE that the police had it blocked off. Way to make them spend more time re-directing your vehicle rather than on the situation at hand. And to all the people on Facebook who made such terrible comments about the situation.

The person of interest was ill, the police handled that the best way they could so take a pill, relax and keep your crappy comments to yourself. Think about others instead of yourself. Mental Illness is a disease that can manifest in different ways, have some respect and empathy!!!

Slugs: To the people who walk their dogs on Rotary Path at the Quad Park that do NOT pick up their dog’s poop and BIG SLUGS to the person who actually picks it up and then throws the plastic bag with the poop onto the ground!!!!!

Hugs: A big hug for the kind man in the SUV who pulled up behind us when we were stuck with a dead battery in a construction line last Sunday – He simply got his portable battery charger and had us on our way within two minutes. Thank you.

Also when I was later in the Superstore that same day I inadvertently left $100.00 cash in the self service check out and got home before I realized it- the honest person who turned in my money was a stellar human being – I guess Sunday was my lucky day!!

Slugs: To the smokers that leave their butts on the path at Elizabeth Lake.

By Joni MacFarlane CNP Reporter

An atmosphere of good fellowship and cooperation flowed throughout Council Chambers as the Municipality’s new council was officially sworn into office on Oct. 29.

After an informal ‘meet and greet’ with council members and senior administrators, each member took the oath of office, sworn into the provincially legislated position by solicitor Doug Young of North & Company.

Council members were then assigned to

sit on various municipal boards and committees for the next year. Appointments were made as follows: • Alberta Association of Municipal Districts & Counties (AAMDC) – Mayor Blair Painter • Agriculture Services Board – Bill Kovach

• Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance – Mayor Blair Painter • Alberta Urban Municipalities Assoc.

Council comes out of the gate questioning

By Joni MacFarlane CNP Reporter The inaugural meeting of the newly-elected municipal council proved that they plan to dig beneath the surface and uncover answers to issues many of them campaigned on.

After tending to early business decisions such as scheduling facility tours, orientation sessions and provincial conventions, two council members presented motions requesting information.

Councillor Dean Ward asked administration to provide the following: • complete municipal budget including all GL accounts and an update on reserves; • all administration employment contracts, job descriptions and evaluations for the last two years; • all CUPE job descriptions; • update on all outstanding CUPE grievances; • all ongoing litigation and legal issues currently facing the municipality, and all legal advice provided on these subjects; Continued from page 2

• Municipal Planning Commission – Bill Kovach and Dean Ward • Oldman River Regional Services Commission - (ORRSC) – Bill Kovach and Dave Filipuzzi • Police Advisory – Marlene Anctil • Ski Hill Authority – Bill Kovach and Doreen Glavin

• Southwest Alberta Trails – Doreen Glavin • Sports & Recreation – Marlene Anctil • Spray Lakes Public Advisory Committee – Bill Kovach • Subdivision & Development Appeal – Marlene Anctil The Policy Committee garnered discussion when Councillor Dean Ward suggested that all council mem-

• update on Wolfstone Development & RV Park project including legal opinions and possible solutions; • update on provincial flood recovery program, what monies have been received and how they’ve been disbursed.

It was agreed this information would be provided to council at the Governance & Priorities Committee (GPC) meeting on Nov. 19.

Councillor Bill Kovach also moved that the municipality freeze all hiring and capital expenditures until council reviews and accepts the budget.

Myron Thompson, chief administrative officer, said the third-quarter and nine-month financial summaries will be provided to council on Nov. 5 and this motion could be considered at that time.

Counc. Kovach agreed and withdrew the motion.

Mayor Blair Painter also said there has been some thought about changing the GPC meeting from the afternoon to the evening, “in order to be more transparent” and to allow more people to attend. This item was discussed at council on Nov. 5 but details were not available as at press time.

bers should be involved in the process of developing policies and bylaws.

Currently, the Policy Committee is comprised of two council members and the Chief Administrative Officer.

Counc. Ward recommended the committee be dissolved and policy development be discussed at the Gov-

ernance & Priorities meetings as referred to in an earlier consultant’s report (George B. Cuff & Assoc. Oct. 2009).

Chief Administrative Officer Myron Thompson recommended that a policy meeting be scheduled shortly and all council members be invited.

Two items need to be reviewed and brought

back to council – GPC Terms of Reference and council remuneration.

A motion was passed for all council members to hold a policy meeting in early November and bring them back to council on Nov. 19.

A Deputy Mayor schedule was also decided on until the end of 2014.

Council comments Counc. Glavin said most council members have previous experience on boards, which will help them with procedural aspects of council. She acknowledged there will be an initial learning curve and that it’s important to learn the basics. In addition, she said, council needs to see where previous council left off with the strategic plan and what the focus was for the next four years.

She believes both administration and council will work well togther.

“We have a very diverse council and everyone has their own strengths,” said Counc. Glavin. “We’re all willing to help each other out.”

“There are a lot of legacy issues that we need to address and work to be done,” he said.

Mayor Painter said he’s very excited with the work ahead and thought the first council meeting went well.

“I think we have a great team and will work very well together,” he added.

First council meeting went very well, I think, said Councillor Dean Ward.

“This is going to be a council that will not always agree but will always work hard and be very respectful of each other and all the residents of the Crowsnest Pass,” he added. “With open communications and co-operation between council, administration and the public, I look forward to a very productive four years.”

Councillor Marlene Anctil said she thought the first council meeting went very well and that it proved they’d be open with the public. Anctil said council members have a good rapport with each other and are willing to work hard, and to discuss things. Once they have all the information requested from administration, they can start to move ahead, she added.

“It’s a learning experience, but by the end [of the meeting], we all felt more comfortable,” she said. “We’ll try to do our best for the community.”

Newly-elected Councillor Doreen Glavin said she thinks the atmosphere in Crowsnest Pass is very positive and she looks forward to working for the community.

“The meet and greet [on Oct. 29] went really well,” she said. “Administration was very professional and they’re going to guide us.”

Welcome to the community Councillor Dave Filipuzzi said he felt very comfortable at his first council meeting as well as with the other council members who he’s getting to know.

“I think we complement each other well [and] can lean on each other,” he said. “We have lots to learn but everyone wants to work together.”

Counc. Filipuzzi said he’s feeling very positive about the future.

“I’m looking forward to the challenges and the rewards, not just for me but for the community,” he added.

“Being an orientation meeting, there wasn’t much to discuss, but I think it went really well,” said Councillor Bill Kovach talking about the inaugural council meeting last week.

He said the people of Crowsnest Pass have spoken twice decisively – once via the petition to Alberta’s Minister of Municipal Affairs and again at the election – to show they want to see changes in the way the municipality is managed.

Counc. Kovach added that he’s very pleased with council’s makeup with its mix of experience and gender and believes they will work very hard. “We’ll start working right away and get down to the nitty gritty,” he said.

With a calendar full to mid-December, newly-elected Mayor Blair Painter said he’s happily jumped in with both feet.

“I’m really happy with the committees I got and am looking forward to start working,” she said.

Councillor Lazzarotto added that she feels very positive for the future.

“It’s a good team [on council] and everyone works very well together,” she said. “I’m excited. Let’s get down to work.”

Our first edition

Welcome to the first issue of the Crowsnest Pass Free Press, your new community paper.

We will publish every Thursday and hope to become the voice of the Pass, to share your stories, and to bring you the news and events of the area.

During a time of well-publicized business challenges within the industry, it is refreshing to see the confidence that this venture expresses.

It demonstrates a confidence in the long-term viability of the community as well as the recognized need to give residents and visitors another voice to express their opinions and ideas, and to read about themselves.

We hope we will grow with the community and give you an interesting, entertaining and objective weekly newspaper.

Please give us your feedback – what you’d like to see more of (or less of), what we’re doing right and what we can improve on.

Another exciting arena is our newly-elected municipal council now at the helm for the next four years.

Crowsnest Pass residents are to be commended on their turnout at the polls – a total of 2,755 people showed up to cast their vote. That’s 58.5 per cent of eligible voters.

While you might think this isn’t a huge number – and it does mean over 40 per cent stayed home – compared to other Alberta cities and towns, we are one of the most politically engaged communities in the province.

In Edmonton and Drumheller, there was a 34.5 per cent turnout; Cochrane had 33 per cent, while Jasper increased their voter turnout to 43 per cent. In Calgary, 22 per cent of voters cast their ballot and in Airdrie, there was a dismal 18 per cent turnout.

While voters in communities across the province let apathy reign, Crowsnest Pass residents took advantage of the opportunity to choose a council to represent them and that engagement, along with the sheer number of candidates, made the 2013 election an exciting one.

All of the candidates – those elected and those who were not – deserve the community’s thanks and praise for a great campaign.

The commitment of those candidates gave every resident a reason to engage and vote.

Congratulations to our newly-elected council: Mayor Blair Painter, Councillors Bill Kovach, Shar Lazzarotto, Marlene Anctil, Dave Filipuzzi, Dean Ward and Doreen Glavin.

May the next four years put Crowsnest Pass back on the map with new business, new families and more opportunities to take advantage of the great lifestyle we all enjoy.

Financial Focus-Year-End Tax Tips for 2013

By Patrick B. Sager IPC Investment Corporation The timing of certain tax related transactions near the end of a calendar year is critical to successful tax planning. Below are some but not all of the strategies to consider as 2014 approaches.

• Postpone the planned sale of securities that have builtup capital gains until 2014. This allows you to defer tax on the gain for 12 more months • Consider taking capital gains if you’re income will be higher in 2014 • Delay the purchase of fixed-term investments with annual interest payments until January to defer tax for an entire year

• Sell investments with accrued capital losses to offset capital gains in 2013 • If you plan to withdraw funds from a Tax Free Savings Account in the coming months do so in December 2013. This way you can contribute funds in 2014 without penalty • Make charitable and political contributions before December 31st, so you can earn tax credits in April • Combine charitable contributions with your spouse including any unclaimed contributions from the past five years in order to maximize donations eligible for the top charitable tax credit • All of the following payments must be made by December

31st to use on your 2013 tax return. Child care and alimony payments, moving expenses, tuition fees, student loan interest, union and professional fees, medical expenses, investment counseling fees, deductible interest expense, safety deposit rental fees and other allowable investment fees • If you were born in 1942, you need to transfer your RRSP’s to an eligible plan such as a RRIF by December 31st to avoid have the balance fully taxed come the New Year • If you are 65 or older and receiving Old Age Security, plan to minimize the clawback by keeping net income below $70,954 in 2013 • Make sure you and

your spouse each have $2000 in eligible pension income to claim the pension credit for 2013 • If you have children or grandchildren in your life make a contribution to a Registered Education Savings Plan for a child under 18 to attract the 20% grant-up to $500 on the first $2500 contributed during the calendar year • Claim the $500 children’s fitness tax credit for each child under the age of 16 for fees paid in 2013 towards a qualifying program of physical fitness There are more strategies to reduce or defer tax, however, it’s always a good idea to sit down with your tax professional or financial planner before

year-end to determine if you are eligible to take advantage of them.

Large drug seizures made

RCMP News Release Submitted

Approximately 300 pounds of marijuana, five pounds of hash, approximately $15,000 in Canadian currency and a semi-truck were seized in two separate traffic stops in a 24 hour period on Oct. 21 and 22.

On Oct. 21, an RCMP officer stopped Jordan Tracey, age 27, of Fernie, for a traffic safety infraction while he was travelling on Highway 3. Through further investigation, approximately $15,000 in Canadian currency, three grams of marijuana, and two grams of MDMA was revealed. Tracey was charged with two counts Possession of a Controlled Substance and one count of Possession of Proceeds of Crime. He is scheduled to appear at the Pincher Creek Provincial Court on Dec. 17.

The following day, on Oct. 22, an RCMP officer stopped an eastbound semi-truck on Highway 3. Upon further investigation, a positive indication was made by police service dog Hogan. A search of the vehicle revealed approximately 300 pounds of raw cannabis marijuana, approximately five pounds of hash and 14 pounds of an unknown cannabis-related substance.

The driver, Wendy Baldwin, age 56, and co-driver, Michael Robilland, age 55, both of Ontario, have been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking.

The semi the pair was travelling in was also seized. Baldwin and Robilland will appear at the Pincher Creek Provincial Court on Nov. 12.

“This isn’t a small amount of drugs intended for personal use.” says Superintendent Howard Eaton, Officerin-Charge of Traffic Services. “It’s major amounts of drugs destined for the streets of Canada, and it’s indicative of organized crime activity.”

Seizures of this magnitude have a substantial effect in illicit drug supply and reduce the amount of illegal drugs in communities. Over 450,000 marijuana cigarettes can be made with 300 pounds of marijuana.

Traffic stops on Alberta’s highways can lead to signifi-

cant seizures of illicit drugs, firearms, stolen goods and other contraband materials. Specially trained Roving Traffic Units (RTU) team members and police service dogs are just some of the tools RCMP are using to reduce illegal activity and reduce crime. RTUs are responsible

for the seizure of millions of dollars in narcotics from travelling criminals, and the presence of these specialized teams directly contributes to reducing crime and keeps Alberta’s roads and highways safe.

Approximately 300 pounds of raw marijuana were seized in during a routine traffic stop on Oct. 22. Along with marijuana, RCMP seized approximately five pounds of hash and 14 pounds of an unknown cannabis-related substance, as well as the semi-truck the drugs were being transported in.

Olympian rides into Crowsnest for mental health

By Joni MacFarlane CNP Reporter

Winter sport? Summer sport? Clara Hughes is an athlete for all seasons. She’s one of the biggest stories to emerge in Canadian sports – a six-time Olympic medalist in cycling and speed skating and the only athlete in history to win multiple medals in both Summer and Winter Games.

But there’s far more to Hughes than athletic achievements and now she’s using her voice to reach out and help others.

Next year residents will have an opportunity to hear that voice and meet Hughes, the Olympian, humanitarian and motivator as she stops in Crowsnest Pass on her cross-country bike tour in support of mental health.

As national spokesperson for Bell Canada’s Let’s Talk Mental Health initiative, including Bell Let’s Talk Day, Hughes has been sharing her own past struggles with depression in an effort to break down the stigma associated with mental illness.

Next year, Hughes takes her initiative on the road in Clara’s Big Ride.

Starting March 14, 2014 and spanning 110 days, Clara’s Big Ride will cover 12,000 kilometres through every province and territory, visiting 95 communities and connecting Canadians to the cause of mental health at the grassroots level.

Residents of Crowsnest Pass will have an opportunity to meet Hughes as she shares her stories on May 28 to 29.

Local organizer Val Breakenridge who worked to bring the event to Crowsnest Pass, said she did so not only because it’s a very worthy cause and has the potential to raise money for local mental

health initiatives, but also because it will help the community reduce some of the stigmas attached to mental illness. Events that unite a community for a good cause like this also help strengthen community bonds, she added.

Breakenridge said she believes it will be important for the community for numerous reasons.

“We are all affected by mental health – either personally or through our friends and family battling their own struggles. I think an initiative on this scale is important for any community. It helps us connect with each other, as well as with the rest of the country. Clara’s Big Ride is a four-month endeavour that literally encircles Canada,” said Breakenridge. “Our committee feels very honoured and proud to be a stop on her journey.”

There will be national media coverage of the event, said Breakenridge, so it’s also an opportunity to showcase Crowsnest Pass to the rest of the country.

“Our committee has a goal to have such an amazing event here that Crowsnest Pass ends up being one of Clara’s top five favourite stops in Canada.”

Working with United Riders of Crowsnest, local community mental health organizations, and Crowsnest Consolidated High School, the committee is busy planning community-inclusive events during Hughes’s stay in the Pass.

More information will made available on Clara’s Big Ride as details become known.

Printer 101 from Mountain Ink Submitted Understanding the Cost per Page of Printer Supplies Chances are you’ve had this experience: You shop for a printer that is in your price range, or even below your price range, get it home, and start printing. After a while, the cartridges run dry and need to be replaced, and only THEN do you realize that the cartridges for your bargain printer are not such a bargain.

So how can you avoid this mistake in the future? By paying attention to the cost

per page of the ink or toner supplies for the printer you are researching. The cost per page of ink and toner doesn’t tell the whole story, of course, as you will need paper and possibly maintenance parts like a printing drum, but it provides a great way to compare the cost of supplies from one printer to the next, and make a more informed buying decision.

Calculating the Cost Per Page Price/Page Yield = Cost Per Page Calculating the cost per page requires a little bit of math, but

don’t worry, this won’t hurt too much.

You will need to know two things: The cost of a replacement cartridge.

The average page yield of the cartridge.

Other Factors As mentioned before, there are several other factors to consider.

Color models, for example, use several toner cartridges or inkjet cartridges instead of just one, though you can still compare each color individually, or take them all as a whole. The cost per page also doesn’t calculate paper costs, energy costs, or other

details. As a comparison method, however, the cost per page is still very valuable in helping you choose the most cost-effective printer when it comes to supplies.

You should also note that the estimated page yield is only an average, and may not relate to your actual average cost per page if you tend to print a lot of photos and heavy graphics.

The cost of ink and toner supplies is an important factor to consider when purchasing a new printer, but it often gets ignored in favor of more

“flashy” features like Wi-Fi support or mobile printing. The next time you are shopping for a printer, look up your potential purchases and calculate the cost per page of supplies. Then you will have a better idea what you are in for when it comes time for replacement.

Mountain Ink is your local supplier of printer equipment, ink & toner cartridges and office supplies.

Blessing of the Hunt major success fier for the provincial elk bugling contest in 2014.

“We have upwards of 60 vendors interested for next year and more workshops and demonstrations,” said Anderson. “We also have lots of interest from other organizations such as the Wild Elk Federation. It’s developing more interest fast and will grow as word of mouth grows.”

According to Anderson, the Ag Society supports many

organizations in the community such as Gymkhana, Bellecrest Days, Kananaskis Pro Rodeo, Hillcrest Mine Disaster Centennial, and the high school rodeo program.

All proceeds from Blessing of the Hunt went towards supporting community projects.

Anderson also wanted to thank Servus Credit Union and Teck for their support of the event and looks forward to next year.

By Joni MacFarlane CNP Reporter A sea of camouflage greeted visitors to the first annual Blessing of the Hunt held on Oct. 19 at Bellevue’s MDM Community Hall.

Vendors, guest speakers and kids’ activities were included in the day’s events while comedy and music entertained throughout the evening.

Blessing of the Hunt was an initiative of the Crowsnest Pass Agricultural Society and organizers were delighted with the success of the first year, said Board Director Sacha Anderson.

“The Ag Society was looking for an event to put our name behind,” she explained. “We

support a ton of community events but a lot of people don’t know what we do. We were looking for awareness of our organization.”

About 450 people attended the event, said Anderson, including many from out of town and the Elk Valley. Fifteen vendors were on hand with a focus on hunting, fishing and outdoor wilderness experiences, she added.

Demonstrations included horse packing and hunting essentials with the Alberta Hunter Education Program.

Another featured Jason Acorn from Wild TV’s “The Bone Yard”.

All were free and very well attended, Anderson said.

Kids’ activities included a fishing pond and crafts table for younger kids and a very popular archery setup for the older set.

A comedian from Yuk-Yuks Comedy Club entertained the evening crowd followed by a dance featuring The Chevelles.

According to Anderson, about 180 people attended the dance with the vast majority dressed in camo.

“Everyone who came had a blast,” she said.

Seven participants competed in an elk bugling contest with Dennis Meadows from Sparwood taking top honours.

Anderson said there was interest expressed in having this competition become a quali-
