Bennett said in an interview from Toronto Tuesday he expects to have an answer by the end of February.

Proponent Taseko Mines has filed a court action to protest the results of the federal environmental review, which the company says did not recognize the new mine design’s use of a lined tailings pond located away from Fish Lake. Bennett wouldn’t comment on the court action, except to say it is not yet resolved.

“We have tailings ponds that are constructed that do not leach into adjacent watercourses, and that’s the central concern here from the federal panel,” Bennett said. “So it’s been our position that the mine could actually be built in such a way as to not contaminate Fish Lake.”

Bennett rang the opening bell at the Toronto stock exchange and had lunch with 50 mining and investment executives, promoting the projects that have proceeded and the B.C. government’s efforts to open more.

Production is to start this year at Red Chris, a $500 million copper and gold mine near Dease Lake expected to employ 750 people. The Roman coal mine near Tumbler Ridge is also set to start up this year, with 375 employees.

The Mount Milligan copper-gold mine northwest of Prince George started production in September, bringing the total operating mines to 19.

Red Chris is proceeding with the co-operation of the Tahltan Nation, which signed a shared decision-making deal with the B.C. government in March of 2013. With the BC Hydro grid being extend to their remote northwest B.C. territory, the Tahltan Central Council was seeing 250 exploration applications a year.

More than 60 coal licence applications were placed under a one-year suspension in December in the Klappan region, after the Tahltan objected to development work see Mining page 4

Mining from page 2

for a coal mine in the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers.

Tahltan Central Council president Annita McPhee called the suspension a “temporary reprieve,” the first step to a protection plan for the Klappan.

“We will continue to resist any industrial development there like this Arctos project that threatens to destroy our land and culture,” McPhee said.

Bennett said the suspension is to deliver

Friday, January 17, 2014 Kootenay News Advertiser

on an election promise to develop protection for the area, which the Tahltan call the Sacred Headwaters.

The B.C. government paid $20 million to Shell Canada to cancel disputed coalbed gas leases in the region in 2012.

But the government won’t do the same for the only approved coal mine project in the Klappan, Fortune Minerals’ Arctos Anthracite project, which the Tahltan oppose. Bennett emphasized that the suspension is temporary.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett (centre), Gavin Dirom, CEO of the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C. (fist raised) and mining industry members celebrate opening of the Toronto stock exchange Tuesday.

New mining course for women at the college A three week training program is being offered by The College of the Rockies, Fernie Campus, in partnership with Teck. The goal of the program is to introduce women to the types of careers available within the surface coal mining industry.

The training program is being offered to women across the Elk Valley, Crowsnest Pass and Cranbrook.

The program includes: Fundamentals and Procedures in Surface Mining, Computer Skills, Occupational First Aid Level 1, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Health, Safety & Reclamation Code for Mines, Fall Protection, Haul Truck Simulator, Mine Tour and RideAlong Training with Veteran Operators.

The program also includes soft skills training in: Workplace Communication, Personality Dimensions, Conflict Resolution, Goal Setting, Time Management and Team Building. Work/Life Balance Workshops and Resume Writing are also included in the training.

Upon completion of the course, participants will gain skills to improve their employability within the industry/workforce. This is the first time a course of this nature has been offered through The College of the Rockies.

The haul truck training in this course is a reduced version (one week) of what is available in the full Haul Truck Operator program (four weeks). The goal is to have sufficient interest so the program can be completed by March 31st, 2014. Dependant on interest, this program could be offered a second time in 2014.

The College of the Rockies is extremely excited about this great opportunity and would like to urge as many women in the Elk Valley and surrounding area to enroll in the program.

Cost of the course is $995. For information on potential funding options and/or to register, please contact the Fernie Campus at 250-423-4691 or the Program Coordinator, Valerie Luznar-Purdy at 250-423-3827.

Spice Up Your Dinner

The other day when I was looking for a few ingredients for dinner, I also got a huge disappointment. My once plentiful harvest had dwindled away to a few limp carrots, a shrivelled kohlrabi and only a handful of onions.

The only produce I still have lots of is potatoes.

So I made a trip to the store to get a bit more life into the pantry. Another way of adding a bit of fresh flavour to your winter dishes is using herbs in your cooking, maybe even grown right on your windowsill.

You can start your own indoor herb garden from seed or use cuttings or plants. Many annual herbs are especially easy to start from seed, while most perennial herbs take longer to germinate and grow so it might be easiest to start with plants. You should keep each herb in its individual pot and be sure to pick containers with drainage holes and waterproof saucers.

If you are starting from seed, use a seed-starting mix or good potting soil. Avoid using regular garden soil as it is too heavy and may harbour diseases or pests. Sow the seeds according to the directions on the seed package.

Most herbs will do well in a south-facing window, although supplementing with a grow light in the winter can be beneficial. Avoid cold drafts and do not allow the tender leaves of the herbs to touch any cool window panes. Once sprouted, water your plants regularly to keep the soil moist, but never soggy. You can use an all-purpose fertilizer at half strength every two weeks.

Many herbs come in more than one variety.

For indoor gardening, consider choosing compact or dwarf varieties to fit smaller spaces.

Other than that, only your taste is the limit.

Basil is a favourite in many kitchens and can be started from seed. Basil likes lots of sun and warmth, so definitely place the pot in a southfacing window. To avoid having this branching plant get ‘leggy’, pinch basil back to keep its form more shrubby.

Thyme and oregano can also be grown from seed or you can start your plants by rooting a tip cutting or digging up and potting an outdoor plant. They do like full sun, but thyme will also grow in an east- or west-facing window. The same is true for parsley and this herb can be seeded or started with a dug-up clump as well.

The easiest way of bringing chives indoors is by potting up a clump from the garden at the end of the season. Leave the pot outside until the leaves die back. In the early winter, move the pot to a cool room in your house, such as a basement. After a few days, you can move the pot to your brightest window and start growing again. Chives also develop quite well from seed.

Rosemary seeds will take a while to germinate, so you might be better off starting a plant with a cutting. Simply keep it in moist, soilless potting or starter mix until it roots. It grows best in a south-facing window and you will be able to transfer the plant into a spot in the garden once temperatures allow it. If you have enough space in your home, you can also consider potting rosemary in a larger container that you can take outside during the warmer months and bring back inside in the fall.

Sage is an herb that nicely complements many winter comfort dishes such as soups, stews and roasts. It can also be grown indoors and starting it from a tip cutting is easier than starting from seed. This herb can tolerate dry indoor air quite well, but needs the strong sun from a south-facing window.

Using home-grown herbs can spice up your food and satisfy your craving for fresh ingredients until it is time to start growing outside again.

Till next time… happy indoor gardening.

Christmas Critter contest brings out the best

To the editor Re: Relay for Life Promotion at the Tamarack Centre I do not applaud this tasteless huge pink bra display or this promotion method of fund raising by the Cancer Society.

I believe the Relay for life [CIBC] Breast Cancer Fund Raisers started off with good intentions.

Now it has become a huge, heart wrenching money making campaign.

Instead of feeling like we are preventing/beating this dread cancer...we seem to be promoting it.

The statics concerning this cancer are not uplifting. Progress? The money raised past & present is humongous. Yet, no, “we have not come a long way baby.’’

Attaching the beautiful ‘female’ color Pink instils a wrongful mentality toward this joyous reflection of the many tones of our color wheel.

[Note: Many other marketing promo’s have also jumped on board with this association. Shame on you.]

A Bra...a special article of underclothing women cherish. Just ask Victoria Secret... lol Breast Cancer usually means the removal of one or both of our breasts. It is not pretty, it is disfiguring. There are follow-up treatments involving extensive physical and emotional hardship and pain. The fear and often reality of impending death afflicts all those connected, immediate and extended, female and male.

I am supposing that most of us have been touched by the horror of Breast Cancer directly or indirectly through family & friends.

Do these associations make us dig even deeper into our pockets? Oh yes we do! Now we are being capitalized on through our emotions of love and grief.

I don’t feel this in your face promotion is a “creative and cheeky event...”

It is rude and reflects bad taste both in design and intent.

Sincerely, Brenda Huska P.S. Upon further reflection...If you were fund raising for Prostate Cancer, which now is on the rise and commonplace, would you display a large male torso dressed in designer Speedo undershorts? I think not.

“Shoot for the Truck” makes donation for Starlite Submitted

“The generosity of the people in our community never ceases to amaze me especially around the time the foundation hosts its annual Starlite Campaign,” explained EKFH Executive Director Donna Grainger.

In her remarks Grainger is referring to the recent success of the Denham Ford “Shoot for the Truck” event at the December 27 Kootenay ICE hockey game.

Hockey fans were more than generous in donating $1,497 for community health care initiatives while also hoping for a chance to be one of two individuals to shoot a puck to win a stunning Ford truck compliment of Braydon Denham at Denham Ford.

Although both shooters were a bit off the sweet spot, the real winner is the Starlite Campaign. Denham’s gift is dedicated to East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s unrestricted

Studio Art 12

Over the next two weeks Marisa Phillips and the Studio 12 Art Class have collaborated their work in an exhibit being shown at the Cranbrook District Arts Council on the corner of 2nd Street South and 10th Ave. We have the space until Friday, January 31, with a celebration gala on Thursday, January 16, 7-9 p.m. Performance and installation pieces will be included that evening. Any donations collected that evening will be given to the Ktunaxa Language program.

The topic is storytelling. The students were introduced to Marisa’s art where she depicts legends from her culture and her own personal stories. They were asked to do the same. The studio 12 students either created their interpretation of a Ktunaxa legend or told a story from their life through their work in a variety of art mediums. Marisa’s art is displayed alongside the students.

There are a number of keen art students who would love to show groups through and explain the pieces. The gallery is open Tues - Fri. (11 - 5), Sat. (10.30 - 2).

Helen Duckworth is available during gallery hours to answer any questions (250-426-4223).

Hope to see you there!

Oscar Lopez.

One of Canada`s greatest guitarists, Oscar Lopez will be performing at the Key City Theatre on January 25th at 7:30 pm. Known for his intimate live performances, Oscar offers a unique flavour of Latin music that incorporates a mix of jazz, blues and pop.

Born in Santiago, Chile to a middleclass family, Oscar was exposed to a wide variety of music from a young age. By age 9 he began to experiment with different musical instruments, trying the violin, the mandolin and finally settling on the guitar. A “street learner” Oscar had no formal musical training and developed his craft by performing with his dad, neighbors and friends at the local Pentecostal Church. By age 12 Oscar had taken a job at a local manufacturer making car antennas. The monotony of the job had a strong impact on Oscar who began to dedicate himself to his musical career. By age 17 Oscar was playing professionally and getting his first taste of stardom with Chilean pop group The Grace of the King. In 1979 at the age of 25 Oscar left the repression of the Pinochet regime and joined his sister in Winnipeg.

Making his home in Calgary, Oscar dedicated himself to his music by releasing 11 albums over a 23 year span. Professionally he achieved great success with 7 JUNO nominations, winning best instrumental album in both 2002 and 2005 for his albums “Armando`s Fire “ and “My Destiny”. Additionally, Oscar is a two-time recipient of the Hispanic Excellence Award and has been recognized as Instrumentalist of the Year by the Prairie Music Awards.

But the road to success was not without its

The District of Elkford would like to provide an update to the Community on the deer harvest being con-

ducted under the Permit that was issued by the Province. The Permit authorizes the District to harvest up to 50 deer.

The harvest commenced on January 6th and was

Submitted

The results of the survey also indicated that the community wished to see a reduction in the urban deer population – 70% wanted a moderate decrease of reducing the herd by 30%-40%.

A Citizen Committee was established in 2011 and held numerous public meetings, researched and investigated the issue, conducted deer population counts, and eventually made recommendations to Council.

One of the recommendations was to apply to the Province for a permit to harvest (cull) urban deer, and another recommendation was to establish an Urban Wildlife Management Advisory Committee.

Council endorsed both of these recommendations. The Province, based on the research conducted by this committee and District staff, issued the District a permit to harvest deer and to process the meat for donation to local food banks. While other options were explored, such as hazing with dogs, this is currently not a legal method in the Province of BC. The District understands and realizes that any community that proceeds in this manner will fall under public scrutiny, and unfortunately incorrect information has been published as fact. The District would like to thank those that have contacted us directly and done their research and due diligence to collaborate their understanding of the urban deer issue and the harvest.

The District would like to clarify one item that has become sensationalized in regards to a child witnessing a deer being killed. This incident was formally brought forward to the District as a record of concern, and after investigation, it was clear that the child only witnessed the contractor transferring a deer into their vehicle.

At this time, Mayor and Council would like to thank everyone that has been and has recently become involved, and for those that have contacted us from abroad, we invite you to visit our town to fully understand what it means to be Wild at heart.

OBITUARY Anne Wiens 1928 - 2014 Mrs. Anne Wiens (nee Schellenberg) of Cranbrook, BC, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 10, 2014 surrounded by her loving family at the age of 85.

Anne was born in Dundurn, Saskatchewan on December 10th, 1928, and grew up on the family farm near Coaldale, AB. Her faith in the Lord led her to attend Mennonite Bible Institute in Didsbury, AB where she forged many lifelong friendships. She later met the love of her life, Henry Wiens, while working in Calgary, and they married in 1952. Henry & Anne were soon blessed with 3 children before finally moving to Cranbrook in 1967, where their 4th child was born.

Anne adored being a wife, mother and homemaker.

She possessed a simple and joyful grace that seemed to bring out the best in everyone, in every situation. Her bubbly laugh and sense of humour was always uplifting, and her steadfast faith in her Savior Jesus Christ was an inspiration to all who knew her.

Anne was avid bowler in the local womens' league for many years. She enjoyed travelling, gardening, sewing, knitting, reading, and going for coffee with her many friends. Since moving to Cranbrook, Henry & Anne have been active members of First Baptist Church, and later, the Knox Presbyterian Church. She loved to sing and was active in the church choir up until her passing.

She is survived by her loving husband Henry, her four children Dan (Charlene) of Surrey, BC, Dyan (Ken) Thayer of Spokane, WA, Donna (Greg) Pascuzzo and Jamie of Cranbrook; her five grandchildren, Jenny (Marco) Guzzo, Sarah Maglio, Jake Whiteley, Jeff and Brock Pascuzzo; and her brother John Schellenberg of Calgary, AB. A memorial service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Saturday, January 18th at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember Anne in a special way may do so with donations to the Mennonite Central Committee at: MCCBC, Box 2038, Abbotsford, BC, V2T 3T8.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Thank you

The family of Del Johnson would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our family and friends for the cards, flowers, phone calls, kind words, food and support during this difficult time.

A very special thank you to the Doctors, lab and nursing staff and ambulance attendants at the Golden Hospital. Your care and kindness towards us and Del will never be forgotten.

Dr. McCarrol, we cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us and Del. You were his Dr. but he considered you to be a friend as well.

Please know that it meant so much to all of us to have you help us through this incredibly sad time.

To the oncology team in Cranbrook. You were amazing and we are grateful for all your care and compassion over the last eight months.

Gary and Nina at Hindman Bowers funeral home, your patience and support was so appreciated.

Thank you for guiding us through a difficult process.

And to the Golden Ladies Hospital Auxiliary. Thank you for providing a wonderful tea after Del’s celebration of Life.

Thank you!

The Kootenay Advertiser would like to thank everyone for keeping their sidewalks shovelled for our carriers.

Hugs: To the always super friendly staff at the 7-11 on 2nd St N and Victoria.

Such friendly people!!

Slugs: To people that frequent businesses and feel that they need to tell their life story and every little thing about them, thereby wasting the time of the employee. And they do this day after day after day. It is perfectly acceptable to chat with the employees but seriously, to drone on and on about things that aren’t relevant to anyone but that person, while the employee could go on to their work, it gets really old, really fast.

Slugs: The other week there was a comment made in regards to dogs at the parade/public events. The problem is not owners taking their dogs to public events to socialize/desensitize in an area with people/noises/activities.

The problem is owners who fail to train their dog at all. Poorly behaved dogs at home are no better off. The problem dogs at home, left outside, bark incessantly at either nothing, or passersby, or startle whoever they can.

Dogs not socialized become bigger problems. The problem is untrained/ unsocialized dogs, not dogs at the park/parade. Final note, if your dog barks while outside, you are bothering people.

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

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

Almost a million Albertans have been immunized against the flu – one of the highest numbers ever seen, health officials said last week.

Over the past month, an escalation in flu cases prompted health officials to urge people to get a flu shot despite the unavailability of the vaccine in many communities.

Alberta Minister of Health Fred Horne and Dr. James Talbot, Chief Medical Officer of Health said they received another shipment of 65,000 doses of flue vaccine from Italy. Alberta Health Services said this was the last available world-wide. It was unclear whether more would be produced.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, Alberta Health Services said the vaccine was no longer available in the South Zone and all influenza clinics have been closed for the season.

A limited number of doses of vaccine have been reserved for children who received a first dose and require a second dose, and for continuing care sites in case of an outbreak.

Health officials also confirmed an Albertan died of avian (H5N1) flu. The patient visited China, flew from Beijing to Vancouver, and then on to Edmonton on Dec. 27 and was admitted to hospital on Jan. 1. The patient, who is not being identified, died in ICU on Jan. 3.

The patient stayed exclusively in Beijing and does not reside in Edmonton. The individual’s age, gender, residence or occupation was not released.

Health officials stress H5N1 or bird flu is NOT the same as the current seasonal flu virus of H1N1. It is not easily transmitted from person to person and there is no risk to public safety.

The most normal way to get bird flu is exposure to infected birds and “virtually every case has a strong link to birds,” said Dr. Talbot. He added that bird flu is rapidly fatal and seasonal flu is not.

This is the first case of H5N1 bird flu in North America and Canada is working with the Chinese government to determine exactly how the patient contracted the virus.

There is no connection between the two viruses and there is no risk to public health.

Health officials stressed that Alberta’s flu season was not unusual and that the number of confirmed deaths was well within the normal range for seasonal flu viruses.

Time to see a Naturopathic Practitioner?

I made the choice to visit Dr. Sarah-Dash Arbuckle this summer, after my very low energy levels kept eluding my attempts at selfhealing.

After we poured some tea, we started with an in-depth and thorough conversation covering everything my family doctor would at a first appointment, but then she went further in order to build her story about my health and history. We talked about my health goals, and she openly discussed the many different treatment options available to me.

Throughout the appointment she asked questions, listened, taught, and provided me with helpful information. If you think this sounds a bit like coaching, you’re right; your Naturopath is also your personal life coach for wellness. Dr. Arbuckle was very open to me working with my family doctor, even recommending a few since I hadn’t yet found one here in the Crowsnest. Then, it was acupuncture time! I have never tried acupuncture; a form of healing involving the insertion of needles into the skin at specific points to achieve a therapeutic effect. Even those who aren’t a fan of getting needles should not be afraid of this practice; it creates a wonderful sensation, and allows you to really bring awareness back into your body. As I laid out on her heated table (which in itself is a delight), Dr. Arbuckle went to do some research for me, working towards putting together a story that will lead me to a healthier, happier self. As we finished up, she led me to the door with some basic treatment guidelines to start my healing at home.

Dr. Arbuckle’s understanding of her practice, and her willingness to work with your body, your needs, and your abilities, was just the right mix to inspire me and give my body the tools it needs to heal itself.

Crowsnest Centre cleanup stalled

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Council questioned the lack of information on the progress of the proposed hotel complex and the unfinished remediation of the Crowsnest Centre site.

“I look at River Run and the Crowsnest Centre and I see two sites that are just about exactly the same. I realize they’re not but I don’t see any more equipment [at Crowsnest Centre],” said Councillor Bill Kovach.

“That whole place could’ve been finished by now and I’m just wondering, did we hold back some money or are we going to be in a situation where this contractor’s paid out and he’s not coming back?”

Director of Planning, Engineering & Operations, Frank Besinger confirmed about 10 per cent of the funds have been held back until work is completed.

He added that the contractor will be coming back to deal with the scrap metal, do final clean up and remove fencing.

This is expected sometime this month.

If the contractor doesn’t return, the remaining funds would be more than enough to hire someone else to finish the work, he told council.

Besinger said backfilling and leveling the foundation was estimated at $120,000 and the municipality felt it was best to wait.

“We felt it was in our best interest to hold off for the time being filling that

until we have some further development take place,” he said. “So, for example, a hotel comes along and they dig an excavation for a basement and foundation…

So we’re waiting to see what kind of a development is going to take place”.

Councillor Kovach also questioned information from the Crowsnest Economic Development & Tourism Advisory Committee regarding the proposed hotel and asked for clarification about a meeting in Vancouver, proposals issued, and Stantec’s rendering of the site.

Both Councillor Kovach and Councillor Dean Ward requested the Economic Development Officer attend a council meeting to provide information and updates on hotel development.

Ongoing concerns regarding the municipal entranceway signs continued at the council meeting of Jan. 7.

Councillor Bill Kovach requested that the east sign’s location be reviewed.

“This is my own personal feeling. I think that the location of the Bellevue entrance sign is in the wrong place and before we spend a lot more money, I would like to have council reconsider that location,” he said.

“The other thing is, there is so much controversy over these signs including the [Crowsnest Economic Development & Tourism Advisory Committee].”

Sheldon Steinke, Chief Administrative Officer, said the signs are set to be

installed in the third week of January.

They have been built and the pedestals have been put in place, he added.

The municipal entranceway signs have been an ongoing source of debate among both former and current councils – especially regarding the east location.

The initial location, proposed in May 2013, was on the east side of the campground in Bellevue. This location was rejected because it was in front of an industrial site and thought not to be conducive to what the municipality was trying to achieve.

The area near Leitch Collieries was deemed difficult topographically for installation and that the low ground would undermine the sign’s visibility.

It was decided to move it further west closer to the campground because

there were tourism amenities and safe, easy access off the highway.

As late as Nov. 19, council voted to proceed with the locations as previously decided by a vote of 4-3.

“The only reason I’m bringing this up again is because CEDTAC has questioned the materials in the sign,” said Councillor Kovach. “I think we should hear from that committee and see what they have to say.”

Councillor Kovach moved that council reconsider the east location and its materials at the next meeting with a representative from CEDTAC in attendance. The motion was carried unanimously.

The east entranceway sign was put on council’s agenda on Jan. 14. Details of this discussion were unavailable as at press time.

Let’s move on

These pages and those of a now-defunct Crowsnest Pass newspaper have been filled with letters and stories about the proposed entranceway signs to be placed at each end of the municipality.

The election of a new slate of council members has resurrected the debate and once again, we find ourselves chasing our tails in an endless circle.

As one of the more polarizing issues in the community, it hardly comes as a surprise.

Logos and brands speak to us on an instinctive level reflective of our individual sensibilities. They are as personal and indefinable as our choice of paint colour, or our taste in music and TV shows.

We either like it or we don’t. Often, we can’t even explain why.

One thing’s for sure. No one brand will speak to all of us exactly the same way and we won’t all like or dislike the same ones.

I suspect logo designers for companies such as Apple or Nike found the same thing.

Are the colours or shapes of a sign what drives a tourist to stop or a business to set up shop somewhere? There’s certainly a message conveyed in a brand, but there’s so much more to a community than what’s displayed on a piece of stone at a fixed point on the highway. Motorists determining where to stop for a coffee or stay overnight surely have other reasons besides a sign.

But really, our like or dislike is beside the point.

Many people feel it’s not reflective of the community’s heritage. Perhaps not. But a drive down the highway leaves little doubt that Crowsnest Pass was once a valley of coal mines. From east to west, evidence is everywhere – Leitch Collieries, Mohawk Mine, Bellevue Underground Mine, Greenhill Mine, Coleman Collieries are all vestiges of days gone by. The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre and the Crowsnest Museum have devoted large resources to honouring the cultural history of the Pass.

Ditto the mountains - look around, there’s no mistaking their magnificent presence.

As one councillor said, monies have been spent, contracts have been signed. To back out now, shows a lack of direction and bad faith.

Surely, the amount of time council and administration have consumed on this issue could be far better spent on issues more pressing.

During last fall’s candidate forums, one of the overriding concerns was the economy. Without some solid proactive plans in place to drive economic stability, triangles, colours or any other brand element will be irrelevant.

Whether we like the signs or not, let’s move on.

Letters Signage meant to draw visitors

Dear Editor, Given the recent controversy surrounding the Municipality’s rebranding strategy and the new signage welcoming visitors here, the Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce would like to address the concerns of some of our residents.

Branding strategies are implemented to attract customers to the brand whether it’s a product, service or a Municipality. The new signage is being put in place to attract visitors, businesses and people who might consider this a place to live, work or play. Consider that the entrance signs are intended for a broader audience than just local residents. We as residents already know what a great place the Crowsnest Pass is to live.

CROWSNEST READS Crowsnest Reads is a new section in the Free Press that talks about what we’re reading and why. We will

The signage is meant to draw visitors to the Pass and make our communities more than just a place to buy gas on the way through. Given that our taxes are high, we are confident that both the businesses and residents here would be in favor of attracting new customers and potential new businesses so that we can reduce the tax burden.

The strategic discipline of a brand strategy coordinates complimentary activities and makes the most of scarce resources. It gives our community another opportunity to unite and come together with pride, moving the Crowsnest Pass into a vibrant and prosperous future.

The other concern expressed was that we will lose our heritage and history simply by putting up new signs. The reality is that our history and heritage are not at risk because of rebranding.

Our history and cultural heritage will feature a few selections every week and hope many, many people in the community participate.

If you would like to be included, please send a brief paragraph or two telling us what you’re reading and why you chose it, what you liked (or didn’t).

forever be preserved by the admirable efforts of our local historical organizations. The potential for two new mines to open in the Pass demonstrates our community is strong and will achieve the sustainability that we need.

Change is always difficult and we should be putting our energy into looking towards a brighter future. If we all truly want the Crowsnest Pass to be a better place to live and work shouldn’t we be promoting this great community instead of constantly bringing negative attention to it? Without change, progress is not attainable. Even companies like McDonalds, the world’s most renowned brand, updates its image every few years and this continues to encourage hundreds of millions of people worldwide to enjoy their products. You can’t argue with success.

The Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce Any and every genre goes – children’s books, non-fiction, biography, business, historical, how-to’s, self-help, graphic novels, romance, humour, whatever you’re into.

Brand represents our beauty Dear Editor: As to the continuing entrance sign debate, I must say I like the new “Logo”. I think the print stating Naturally Rewarding could be a little more readable, but to me it represents our sur-

rounding mountain beauty.

Our heritage is in place and evident just about anywhere one goes. It is not lost. Our culture is progressing into a Rocky Mountain community with all the wonders and development which accompanies that forward step. The changes over the past 20 years are becoming notice, worldwide.

Our mission, I believe, is to

guard not only our heritage, but our natural surroundings. If we are to move forward we must identify not only what we want for Crowsnest Pass, but what our visitors need from us. I hope we all experience the Natural Rewards we are privy to and welcome the healthy changes to our lifestyles.

Letters Entranceway signs get us noticed

Dear Editor, I read the letter about the new entrance signs [“Put new entranceway signs on hold”, CNP Free Press Jan. 9) as well as their opinion about them which is quite negative, but is not shared by all. I truly believe we need to move forward as a community.

A Few Counter Points: 1) The entrance signs are not about the former council and they never were. They are related to branding and economic development. It’s about the brand.

If another example is needed

google “Calgary - Heart of the New West”. This branding is also not without controversy - but is serving it’s purpose. Calgary was ranked as the 2014 “Hot Spot” by The New York Times - which is the point/objective about branding here. That’s what we need here- getting noticed.

2) I sincerely doubt that the brand will evoke any of the emotions, that the writer suggests that it does for him, from anyone else.

When I look at “Calgary - Heart of the New West”, I do not think of municipal politics. I think of the message that Calgary is trying to convey to the world.

As far as the “controversial” entrance signs, I doubt any one else coming through our com-

munity - be it on Highway 3, or in Cyberspace - will come to the conclusion suggested.

I volunteered to help with the new Municipality of Crowsnest Pass float entry (Our Brand) in the Pincher Creek Rodeo Parade late last summer, and was absolutely impressed with all of the positive feedback we received -for the Crowsnest Pass from outside our community. (CNP won second place as a municipal entry).

Why can we not embrace this within our own community? (Sorry I don’t get it) We need to quit spewing negativity and move forward as a community. It’s not a very flattering image of ourselves.

CAO report

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Sheldon Steinke, Chief Administrative Officer gave his first report to council on Jan. 7 highlighting a few areas the municipality is working on.

First, snow cleaning is ongoing, he said.

Residents are encouraged to review the policy on the website to answer some of the general questions the municipality faces.

Councillor Dean Ward suggested council review the policy later in the winter.

Operations staff are collecting the location and information on the number of new banners that have been damaged after it was brought to administration’s attention at an earlier council meeting.

Preparations are underway for the 2014 budget process including the 10-year capital infrastructure plan, said Steinke.

An initial meeting is planned for Jan. 18 for council to set its strategic direction and later meetings will continue throughout the winter.

“The 2014 triennial budget will be the starting point for

Council and Administration to evaluate current changes in economy, strategic direction… and current financial matters that will directly impact the financial operations of the municipality in 2014,” wrote Marion Vanoni, Director of Finance & Corporate Services.

The 2014 property tax notices will be mailed no later than April 30 with a payment deadline of June 30, she added.

Steinke told council that John Hawkins, the new building inspector, began on Jan. 6.

Lastly, he reported that a list of volunteers is being prepared to fill some of the positions on municipal boards and committees and to advertise the remaining vacancies.

In the previous CAO report, council was told the branding project under provincial operational funding had a budget of $50,000 and $49,754 has been spent. Signage and banners had a budget of $200,000.

A total of $14,299 has been spent on banners and $51,482 on entrance signs. Total costs will be $178,758 on signs.

Final cleanup and completion of the work will be the second week of June, he added.

Besinger said approval has been given from Riversdale Resources to access their land.

The method of log removal will be by a grapple system with a cable spanning one side of the creek to the other. Logs will be pulled out and disposed of, he said.

Avalanche awareness crucial for backcountry users

By Joni MacFarlane Editor An avalanche incident earlier this month in the Corbin area is a reminder for recreationists to take extra precautions when going out in the backcountry.

On Jan. 5, on the second run of the day, a member of a group of backcountry skiers was caught in a slide and buried. Luckily, he was found by other members of his group and did not suffer lifethreatening injuries.

The incident is a reminder to all backcountry users to be aware of snow conditions in the area they are going to, to get the proper training, and to carry the right equipment.

Dave Whitten, experienced backcountry skier, said there are several steps anyone going into avalanche terrain should undertake.

First, they should always check out the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) for up-to-date conditions.

CAC maintains a website that provides daily bulletins of mountainous areas throughout Alberta and British Columbia. These bulletins contain a wealth of information – avalanche danger rating, expected size of an avalanche, risky slopes, wind slabs, summaries of conditions, weath-

er outlooks, and travel ness in the snow layand terrain advice. ers. This is especially Crowsnest Pass and dangerous if heard on Elk Valley fall into the a steep slope.

worn on the chest that sends out a radio signal to locate a buried person. Ensure that all group members wear their transceivers strapped securely to their bodies.

A probe and shovel also need to be carried.

A SPOT or personal locator beacon is useful, said Whitten, to notify local Search & Rescue personnel.

“The key thing is to be evaluating all the time and talk to your partners about what you see and what you think the situation is,” he said. “Don’t just assume that everybody is thinking the same thing. Everybody needs to be thinking and talking about it.”

Whitten also said people don’t have to be in the backcountry to get into trouble and that some areas closer to home can also be hazardous. People cross-country skiing or snow shoeing don’t realize they are in avalanche terrain, he said, and should take similar precautions.

Finally Whitten encouraged people to report every avalanche they see on the CAC website to help others see problem areas and to provide a better database.

Avalanche Skills Training is offered at various locations and backcountry users are advised to attend. Visit CAC to find more information.

Pass Powderkeg targets chairlift

By Joni MacFarlane Editor What do successful ski hills have in common? Yes, snow, vertical, and great skiing, but also chairlifts. Now Board members of the Ski Hill Society are working to get the Pass Powderkeg Ski Hill in the same league.

Neil Johnston, president, said the Board has been busy over the past year developing long and short term plans and as well as initiating a fundraising campaign for a chairlift.

Installation of a chairlift will benefit the entire community, said Johnston, by attracting more skiers as well as opening up the hill to summer use.

A lift increases the capacity of skiers and

allows them to stay on the mountain longer, he added. Already promoting itself as a family ski area, Pass Powderkeg would be more attractive to families, in turn increasing tourism and economic spinoffs.

In addition, the lift would be used in the summer for mountain biking, turning the area into a two-season resort, said Johnston.

There is ample room to add a lift, he said, and not much of the existing terrain will need to change.

The Board is looking at a “fixed grip” lift that allows skiers to disembark at a midstation or continue up for more vertical, said Johnston.

“It would help seasoned skiers for sure,” he said, “and chair access would make it easier for kids, school groups, or people

with limited mobility.”

Brand-new models run in the millions, he added, so a fundraising campaign is being developed, targeting sponsorships, donations, corporate, and community events.

An online contest sponsored by Aviva Insurance kickstarted the campaign and gave the Pass Powderkeg Ski Hill great visibility, said Johnston. Advancing to the semi-finals and qualifying for the final round, the ski hill could win up to $150,000. Finalist ideas will be announced on Jan. 28.

In addition to completion of a master plan, a strategic plan and a business plan have also been developed, said Johnston.

“We’re confident we’ve done our homework,” he said. “It’s a thoughtful, reasonable business plan, the master plan makes

a lot of sense, and the strategic plan is a mix of the two.”

With the recent departure of the General Manager, the Board is currently reviewing the position to determine its roles and responsibilities, the skill set required, and whether there are any shared opportunities within the municipality.

Director of Protective and Community Services, Lyle Hannan, explained that Pass Powderkeg is municipally-owned and operated but the Board runs the hill and the manager is not a municipal employee.

“The relationship with the municipality is very integrated,” he said.

In the absence of a manager, Hannan said existing staff have taken on extra responsibilities and he is providing managerial support in the interim.

the early morning hours of Jan. 2.

The matter is under investigation.

Fire/Rescue Boys & Girls Club releases 3-year plan briefs Submitted Boys & Girls Club of CNP

The Boys and Girls Club of Crowsnest Pass recently completed a new three-year strategic plan for the years 2014 to 2016.

The plan was created utilizing input from a number of sources including the Boys and Girls Club of Canada, club member family surveys, funder requirements, a community conversation cafe, local schools, club staff and volunteers.

“This comprehensive plan will provide a roadmap of sorts for our Executive Director, Nicole Pearse and the board of directors to follow over the next three years,” Scott Warris, President, explained.

“Our volunteer board members and the Executive Director have committed many hours into researching and compiling this plan and we are confident it covers the services that our organization is capable of reasonably fulfilling within our community.”

“One of the biggest challenges,” Warris continued, “was determining which needs the kids and youth of our community have that our club could realistically fulfill. Many people noted the lack of options for youth

and teens, and although many of the Boys and Girls Clubs across Canada provide a number of programs for that age group, we have not had much success getting kids to participate.

Our decision to primarily focus on the Grade 1 to 6 group was based on the idea that if these kids had a history of participating in the club, they would be far more inclined to stay involved as teenagers.”

The strategic plan is one part of a reorganization of the Crowsnest Pass club that has taken place over the past 18 months.

Other initiatives that have been implemented include: * Sustainable ongoing funding application procedures and tracking system * Permanent paid administration position established * Board of Directors responsibilities shifted from management to policy governance based * Simplified fee structures for programs and membership * Cloud based file and document management system * Online system developed for registration, payment, program calendar and highlights * Annual fundraising and awareness campaign Some of the highlights of the Strategic Plan include:

Our Vision: All children and youth discover and achieve their dreams and grow up to be healthy, successful and active participants in society.

Our Mission: To provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.

Our Mandate: Boys and Girls Club of Crowsnest Pass is a leading provider of after-school and critical hours programs, recognized for significantly contributing to the healthy development of young people – especially those who need us most.

With families and others in the community, we help children grow up to be: Healthy, Confident, Responsible, Successful In Life.

If you would like to receive a copy of the full plan or wish to get involved with the Boys and Girls Club, please contact: Scott Warris at 403-583-5833 president@bgccnp.com or Nicole Pearse, Executive Director, 403562-8664 director@bgccnp.com.

The 2014 annual general meeting will be held on Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Crowsnest Community Library. Everyone is welcome.

This tart is so good you just want to eat all of it! ingreDients: PASTry: • 210 to 240 g (7 to 8 oz) store-bought puff pastry FiLLing: • 125 ml (1/2 cup) cottage cheese • 125 ml (1/2 cup) 15% cream • 15 ml (1 tbsp) flour • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • Black pepper • 30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil TOPPing: • 120 g (4 oz) bacon • Vegetable oil • 1/2 medium-sized onion, quartered and sliced very thin

Directions: Lightly flour your counter, and roll the chilled dough into a 50 cm (20-inch) square less than 3 mm (1/8-inch) thick. Cut it into 4 disks, 20 cm (8 inches) across. Carefully transfer the disks to the oiled pastry sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1/2 hour or longer.

Preheat the oven to 220 ºC (425 ºF). Drop the cottage cheese into the food processor and process about 1/2 minute, until smooth. Add the other ingredients of the filling. Process again to blend. Cut the bacon into slices. Oil a frying pan lightly, set over moderate heat, and cook the bacon for 1 minute, then stir in the onions. Toss several minutes until the onions have softened but are not yet tender. Leaving a 6 mm (1/4inch) border free, spread the cheese mixture over the chilled pastry disks.

Scatter the bacon and onions on top. Bake in the upper-middle level of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the topping has browned lightly.

Hot Chocolate Truffles These hot truffles are not burning hot, just a warm mouthful of melted chocolate encased in a sweet crusty shell. ingreDients: • Chocolate ganache: • 450 g (1 pound) semi-sweet chocolate • 250 ml (1 cup) hot whipping cream • For frying the truffles: • Peanut oil COATing: • 500 ml (2 cups) sifted flour on a plate • 3 eggs beaten with a pinch of salt in a wide bowl • Crumb mixture on a plate: • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) fine white bread crumbs • 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) sugar • 60 to 80 ml (1/4 to 1/3 cup) cinnamon Directions: ganache: Melt the chocolate over hot water. Stir the chocolate until it is completely smooth, then stir in the cream. remove the chocolate pan from the water pan and let set half an hour, then cover and refrigerate until chilled. Truffles: Scoop out 15 ml (1 tbsp) gob of chocolate with a melon baller and roll in the palms of your hands to make balls 2,5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. Arrange the balls on parchment-lined cookie sheets and place in the freezer for 1-1/2 hours. remove the chocolate balls from the freezer and roll 4 at a time in the flour, then roll one at a time in the palms of your hands. next, roll the balls in the beaten eggs, coating them completely. Finally, roll the balls in the crumb mixture, coating them completely, and then one by one roll them firmly in the palms of your hands. Freeze for an hour. Heat the peanut oil in a heavy saucepan to 175 ºC (350 ºF). Lower 4 truffles at a time into the hot oil; let brown and crust for about 10 seconds, then drain on paper towels.
