The B.C. government will appeal a B.C. Supreme Court ruling ordering a return to 2002 classroom rules, Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced Tuesday.

Fassbender said the latest ruling could potentially cost the B.C. government more than $1 billion, which he called “completely unaffordable for taxpayers.” But the appeal will focus on Justice Susan Griffin’s interpretation of constitutional rights in union negotiations.

“Governments have to be able to govern,” Fassbender said, adding that no other province has has such restrictions on school organization.

“Most importantly, if the real goal is to benefit students, decades of academic research has shown that blankest reductions in class size are of little benefit,” he said.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker estimated that 6,600 teachers would have to be hired to bring B.C. class sizes up to the Canadian average.

In Surrey school district alone, there should be 18 teacher librarians, 19 teacher-counsellors,

51 more specialist education teachers and 80 English language teachers, he said.

“We want to negotiate a deal at the bargaining table,” Iker said. “We hope that the government comes and bargains with us in good faith – that’s so important – but we all know that to achieve an agreement, government has to bring the necessary funding to make that deal happen.”

The dispute revolves around the government’s unilateral removal of class size and support staff rules from the BCTF contract in 2002. In her first ruling in 2011, Griffin gave the government a year to remove the offending legislation and negotiate class size and specialist teacher support as a working condition for teachers.

Griffin’s second ruling came Jan. 28, ordering $2 million in damages to be paid to the BCTF for what she described as bargaining in bad faith, and striking down parts of the latest legislation.

Fassbender said talks over the past year have included class size and specialist support.

“We’ve increased supports for students with

Education Minister Peter Fassbender announces government’s intention to appeal at the B.C. legislature. special needs, including a 36 per cent increase in the number of full-time education assistants,” he said. “Average class sizes are near historical lows of 19.3 students for kindergarten, 21.5 for grades one to three, 25.7 for grades four to seven, and 23.0 for grades eight to 12.

To put that in perspective, in 1970 the average class size was 42.”

Fassbender said the ministry’s “learning improvement fund,” established after Griffin’s first ruling, dedicated $210 million toward the disputed

class supports. It funded 500 new teachers, 400 new special education assistants and increased hours for another 7,400 assistants, he said.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said the government shouldn’t be challenging the court ruling.

“The onus is on the government to put out an olive branch to the teaching profession,” he said.

A recent media release put out by the Cranbrook RCMP received over 15,000 page views in a very short period of time. The police were seeking information on the whereabouts of a missing 12-year-old boy. Police turned to Facebook and Twitter to get the word out.

The release was posted on the BC RCMP media webpage just after 9 p.m., and disseminated via Twitter. The release was also posted on just one police officer’s personal Facebook page.

Fourteen hours later the boy was found. By that point, the release had been shared 96 times through Social Media and viewed by over 15,000 people.

Social media played a huge part in the locating the boy. Although police learned throughout the course of their investigation that the boy was not in danger, the potential was there. That potential exists every single time a person goes missing, and police always need to act quickly.

Social media has unquestionably become the platform used to disseminate news quickly, and to a massive audience. News sources around the world use Facebook, Twitter and other venues to spark interest in their stories.

Law enforcement is also now using the medium to reach out to the public. Releases about important news stories, missing persons and alerts can be sent out to a huge number of people within minutes. People are now expecting news and information instantaneously. Police have learned that over 70% of the page views for the missing boy were on mobile devices. That fact carries weight once you realize, most of those people are not at home, sitting in front of a computer. They are out and about. Essentially, they become our “eyes on the street.”

Of the 96 shares of the release on the missing boy, 90 of them were on Facebook. Shared by just one person, the information reached hundreds within mere hours.

Facebook, and other social media, have become invaluable tools when it comes to sharing information.

Fresh, Home-grown Veggies? In winter?

Although this winter appears to have been milder than usual in the Kootenays and days are getting longer, spring is still a long way away. Some gardeners are beginning to chomp at the bit and green thumbs all over are beginning to get itchy. For those who really cannot wait for fresh, home-grown produce, indoor growing might be an option.

There are basically two types of plants you can grow. Low-energy plants include herbs, sprouts, and any leafy greens, such as lettuce or spinach. They can be grown with little effort on a sunny windowsill or another bright spot in your house. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squashes are examples of high-energy plants that require a bit more room, equipment and effort to get growing.

Hydroponics is the means of growing, using a mineral nutrient solution and with or without a soilless medium. If minerals are dissolved in water, the plants’ roots can absorb them directly. If you have ever put a plant clipping into a glass of water in the hopes of making it root, you have practiced hydroponics. This method provides a great way for growing high energy plants indoors all year round.

With its pipes and drip lines, nutrient solutions, pumps and grow lamps, hydroponics seems like an ultra modern invention and can even have a sort of science fiction feel to it. The fact is, however, that hydroponic principles have been used for thousands of years. The famous Hanging Gardens of Babylon - one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - are believed to have been grown with hydroponics.

During the 10th century, the Aztecs developed a system of floating gardens on rafts on Lake Tenochtitlan in what is central Mexico today.

In the 1620s, British scientist and politician Sir Francis Bacon was the first to conduct formal research, exploring the ability of plants to grow without using soil in a reservoir for nutrients. About 300 years later, Berkeley scientist William Gericke was the first to promote the use of hydroponics in commercial agriculture.

Hydroponics can produce higher crop yields and be practiced in places where in-ground growing is not possible. It is used in commercial plant production in many densely populated areas where land comes at a premium, such as Japan or Europe; as well as in places with an arid climate, such as Arizona or Israel.

A disadvantage of hydroponics is that without soil as a buffer, any problem in the system can quickly cause the plants to die.

There are two main types of hydroponics solution culture and medium culture. Solution culture uses only a nutrient solution to grow plants. The medium culture uses a solid material for the roots, this can be sand, gravel, vermiculite, rock wool or even coco or wood fibres.

When designing a home hydroponics system, it's generally recommended that a medium be used. For a basic system, you will need a tray to hold medium, plants as well as a nutrient solution, a place to put the system, a container to be used as a reservoir, a pump, plant containers, growing medium, drainage tubing, a timer, seeds or plant cutting and nutrient solution. If you decide to grow plants that require a lot of light and sunlight is not readily available, you will have to add an artificial lighting system.

You can find these basic items for a home system as well as the expert advice you need to set it up at your garden centre.

Till next time… happy soilless gardening.

End this bloody BC school war Tom Fletcher BC Views There are two reasons why the B.C. government must appeal the latest court ruling that damns its conduct, assesses damages of $2 million plus lawyer bills and appears to hand the B.C. Teachers’ Federation the keys to the treasury.

The first is practical politics. The legislature reopens Feb. 11, ironically right after Family Day. An appeal will give rookie Education Minister Peter Fassbender the cover he will need during the daily 30 minutes of sniper fire that is Question Period.

Rise. “It’s before the courts, Madam Speaker.” Sit. Even the triggerhappy Premier Christy Clark will be staying in her trench, after the bleeding wound she received from Justice Susan Griffin last week.

The second reason is practical economics. The 2014 budget has gone to press.

Government lawyers told the court that retroactively returning to 2001 classroom rules could cost $500 million, an estimate Griffin dismissed as “speculative.”

It could include compensation to retired teachers for earnings they gave up. This retroactive lump would be on top of the ongoing costs, running to hundreds of millions more as 60 school districts try to reassemble the world of 2002.

This union victory began when the Supreme Court of Canada invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining in 2007, based on “freedom of association” in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The BCTF is piggybacking on that landmark decision, in favour of the Hospital Employees’ Union, after Gordon Campbell ran roughshod over their sweetheart contract from the Glen Clark years. That one was settled for $85 million, including retroactive payments.

In case there are parents and taxpayers who still believe that all would be calm had the NDP won the 2013 election, allow me to put that to rest.

NDP leader Adrian Dix took to his Facebook page a couple of days after last week’s ruling, joining calls for an apology from Clark. That would be for what Justice Griffin characterized as deliberately provoking a strike to build public support for the latest of a long line of settlements imposed on teachers.

Within minutes, Dix received this caustic response from Tara Ehrcke, president of the Greater Victoria teachers’ union.

“But where was the NDP during the election campaign?”

Ehrcke asked Dix. “You committed a measly $100 million – a third of what it will take to restore class sizes and less than

the [NDP] platform in 2009, and only pocket change more than the Liberals’ Learning Improvement Fund of $75 million.”

Note the mindset of this prominent member of the radical fringe that controls the BCTF. “A measly $100 million.”

An extra $25 million?

“Pocket change.” This is the same union boss who demanded that hundreds of teachers be hired (this week), so reorganizing current classes in the middle of the school year to make them smaller by one or two students.

Parents and students would endure yet another major disruption of the public school system.

And who needs an increase in rural ambulance service or drug and alcohol treatment for street kids. Let’s get those teacher-librarians back in schools, and slightly reduce class sizes to offset declining enrolment!

No government, B.C. Liberal, NDP or Green Party, can let its unions control their own payroll, just as no private company can.

That goes double for this union, which had its own obvious role in provoking an illegal strike in 2012. It made outrageous benefit demands and cancelled extra-curriculars for months before it even specified its wage demand.

Bargaining, if you can call it that, resumes this week. Both sides need to cease fire.

More than $130,000 was raised in this year’s Starlite Campaign.

Another successful year for Starlite Submitted

When the East Kootenay Foundation for Health launched its 6th annual Starlite Campaign the focus on fundraising was to support and strengthen health initiatives in the East Kootenay. Now as the Campaign closes the unbelievable generosity of people living in the East Kootenay demonstrated their investment to the current and future community and regional health care needs with an accumulated gift total of $130,699.

“There are no words to express the gratitude for the resounding support of the Starlite Campaign and the overall mission of the foundation,” shares Chair Brian Clifford.

“It truly is a remarkable outcome and a definite benefit to health care in the area we serve.”

The Starlite Campaign was initiated to help find a way to support community health care initiatives to improve and better address needs for community and regional health care.

The passion and desire of the public to support that effort was never more evident as the 2013 Starlite Campaign ends with a record setting result over $25,000 from its last highest achievement in 2012.

At the closing of this year’s Campaign and since the Starlite launch in 2008 your generous donations of $535,249 has remained in the East Kootenays to fund essential health care equipment and patient comforts in facilities throughout the region.

3 Facts you need to Know About...

BC’s Family Day

1

In May 2012, British Columbian’s were asked to choose the date for BC Family Day. From the votes received British Columbians voted 18,202 in favor of family day being the second Monday in February; while 9436 votes were registered in favor of the third Monday.

2.

3.

The second Monday was also chosen to create a unique BC experience and to avoid the crowds that would occur by aligning with other jurisdictions.

Ultimately the opportunities and benefits we saw for families and businesses with having our own unique day outweighed any potential challenges we might face by not aligning with other jurisdictions.

Happy Kootenay ICE Fans (center) receive the first Sam Reinhart bobble head from (l-r) Tiffany Johnson (Kootenay ICE), EKFH Chair Brian Clifford, President Carolin Hockley (Kootenay ICE Fan Club), EKFH Directors Don MacMillan, Mark Dickson & Russ Colombo.

Fans love the bobble heads Submitted It just goes to prove that when you combine support for the hospital with bobble heads, everyone comes out a winner.

This past weekend the East Kootenay Foundation for Health hosted a special Kootenay ICE “Sam Reinhart Bobble Head Night” as a way to show the community its gratitude for the continued outpouring of support to EKFH and its many different ICE fundraisers over the past decade.

With only 950 officially autographed Reinhart bobble heads available (yes, Sam took over 5 hours to complete the task), it made them a coveted item. Eager fans came out in numbers and lined up early to get their chance to take one home.

When the foundation and volunteers arrived to get everything in place a line had already started at 4:00 pm and yet it would be another 2 hours before the bobble heads would be handed out. By just after 7:00 pm the full complement of bobble heads was gone.

“It was incredibly difficult for our volImagine coughing up this much phlegm every day, just to breathe.

That’s life with cystic fibrosis.

Please help us.

“

It was incredibly difficult for our volunteers to have to turn away several fans who weren’t able to secure a bobble head,”

Brian Clifford, EKFH chair

unteers to have to turn away several fans who weren’t able to secure a bobble head,” explains EKFH’s Chair Brian Clifford. “As much as EKFH wished it could have given one to each and every person, it just wasn’t possible,” adds Clifford.

Just watching the smiles on the faces of those who did get a piece of ICE history was entertaining as young children skipped through the lobby with a box in their arms, and you could witness the gentle smiles of many fans who have been there from the hockey club’s beginning. One of the most enjoyable moments was to see and hear squeals of delight as those who thought they were out of luck receiving their Sam original.

But the most incredible result of the evening is the unrivalled generosity of fans that made an additional $750 in donations to EKFH bringing the total of the Sam Reinhart “Shoot for the Star” fundraiser to $6,063.63. The bobble head night was the last official event of the 2013 Starlite Campaign. The campaign officially closes with a final fundraising tally of $131,440.40.

EKFH wishes to

recognize the assistance from members of the board and our volunteers ~ Brian & Trudy Clifford, Don MacMillan, Mark Dickson, Russ & Joy Colombo and Fran Lawrenow; from the Kootenay ICE Fan Club ~ President Carolin Hockley and volunteers Gary Cook & Merv Anderson; plus representatives from the Knights of Columbus #8631 ~ Rick Hoeg, Don Sharp, Paul Gaudet & Ken Bettin and Tiffany Johnson from the Kootenay ICE as well as many of their volunteers (ushers, security, staff members - so many that we may miss a name).

Thank you as well to the Shivers & Coyote Jack’s outlets and the City of Cranbrook for their patience when the lobby swelled up to overflowing. EKFH and the Kootenay ICE sincerely appreciated your understanding.

Most importantly, thank you to Sam Reinhart for allowing EKFH to utilize his persona. And to Sam and his teammates for making Saturday night’s game a winner.

EKFH wishes continued success to both the team and Sam on future endeavours.

On February 7, three College of the Rockies University Studies students will embark on a trip to Guatemala to participate in a field school. The ten-day trip, part of a secondyear sociology course offered by Capilano University, was made available to the College’s faculty and students.

The students, Karla Robinson, Alexis Fisher and Stephanie Mindek are completing the majority of the course online. Prior to leaving for Guatemala they have been engaging with Capilano students and the course instructor via a virtual classroom.

By collaborating with Capilano University’s field school, College of the Rockies students are able to participate in a type of learning they would otherwise not have access to.

The students are being fully supported by COTR and will be able to apply their Capilano course credit to their COTR studies, should they choose to do so.

College of the Rockies University Studies Anthropology instructor Avery Hulbert says, “This field school is an incredible opportunity for our students to enrich their learning and life skills. They will be experiencing Guatemalan culture first-hand including the economic, social and political factors which have shaped Guatemala from colonization to the present.”

The opportunity to become familiar with the social structure of a different culture is an extremely valuable learning experience for all three of the students who are enrolled in second-year sociology and anthropology courses at the College.

“This is a far more engaged learning experience than can be had in a classroom,” Hulbert continues. “I hope to continue to work with our International department and other post-secondary institutions to offer more field school and international education opportunities to our students in the future.”

Winter Olympics

Meet the local athletes competing at the Olympic Games The Sochi Winter Olympics are now upon us.

It is impressive to note that amongst all the athletes on the planet, the East Kootenay region has some of the best in the world. Here is a brief look at the local competitors for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

of a strong Canadian men’s team. After winning both his heat and quarterfinal, he finished third in his semifinal, putting him into the Small Final. He won that to place him fifth overall.

Fagan has competed at three FIS World Championships, recording his best finish in 2013 placing eighth.

Ben Thomsen

The newest member of the Canadian Cowboys, Invermere’s Ben Thomsen is looking to make Canada proud at the Sochi Olympic Games.

At Vancouver 2010, Thomsen was given a spot as a forerunner.

While there he asked Alpine Canada for the chance to race at one of the season-ending World Cups. He made his World Cup debut in March 2010. Thomsen was then permitted to compete on the World Cup circuit in 2010-11, but as an independent he would receive no funding from Alpine Canada.

Thomsen earned his spot in the Canadian Cowboys club in February 2012 when the World Cup went to Sochi for the Olympic test event. He surprised with a silver medal in the downhill. He posted three other top-10 World Cup downhill results in 2011-12.

Gord McArthur is a Cranbrook resident and an ice climber with the Canadian National Team. For years he has climbed the ice in and around the Kootenay region as well as other spectacular places around the world, such as the caves in l’Usine, France in preparation to hit the world stage as an ice climber.

After doing well at the 2013 ice climbing world championships in Kirov, Russia, he was

invited to compete in an ice climbing cultural event. Currently the sport is being considered as a full medal sport and McArthur’s effort in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics will go a long ways to ensure that the sport will be seen in future Olympic games.

in 2004 when he overshot a demonstration jump and was told he would have to “rock the world” in a wheelchair.

Sochi is Dueck’s second Paralympic Games.

At the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Games he was a silver medalist in slalom, placed fifth in downhill and 13th in super-G.

Hugs: To Jeremy at Nino’s Paint & Body Shop, you have restored my faith in young people that they are not all out to rip seniors off. Thanks again for your fast and excellent service. I will remember you always!

Hugs: To Tkeckla, Kelley, Gordon, Donna and crew for the fantastic job they did at the Kimberley Snow Fiesta Bonspiel. This is the fourth year they have worked so hard to make it such a success. You rock!

Hugs: To the Kimberley Aquatic Center. Great classes and great bunch of lifeguards. Wonderful that Cranbrook people can go to the Kimberley pool without being surcharged to the max.

Classy way to treat our neighboring community!!!!

Hugs: Big, big hugs to Jewels on Ninth for the great service they gave me.

Hugs: A big hug to Overhead Door Company of Cranbrook and especially to Gord. His professionalism and enthusiasm was appreciated and he had everything fixed in record time. He is the best!--Craig and Sandra Spowart Hugs: To Curtis at Crystal Glass for an excellent job of custom cutting a glass to fit our photo frame. Thank you so much Curtis for that favor. It was very much appreciated!

Hugs: To the 4 high school exchange students who helped me to stand up to get into my wheelchair after a fall at Amy Woodland School. You girls have great hearts, thank you.

Hugs: A hug - to the city crew for keeping the sidewalk on Victoria plowed. I would give you a double hug if you plowed up to Kinsman Park. A lot of us use that sidewalk and it’s very slippery.

Hugs: To East Kootenay Foundation for Health. Bobble Head night at the Kootenay Ice game on Feb. 1 was fabulous. It was well organized and a great idea. Thanks!!!

Hugs: Big hugs for the staff at the Kimberley Aquatic Centre for keeping the pool etc so clean!

Slugs: To the corporations and municipalities who keep putting prices up on everything while wages seem to stay the same.

Hugs: To all the great people, including professionals, who do what they can to help low income families. By reducing service costs or doing them for free, you are going above and beyond to help.

Slugs: Innumerable slugs to the people who dump cats in rural areas. Just because we have barns doesn’t mean we want barn cats. You are terrible people. Shame on you.

Hugs: To the very sweet lady on Monday Feb 3 who asked if I looked lost at the Super Store while looking for fresh Basil and tried to help me find some. Suggested I go ask the produce folks and see if there was any in back, then even tracked me down in the store with a package of basil to make sure I got some. Made my day, Thank you!

Hugs: To Kathy at Kathy’s Kitchen. You are one special lady who has touched the hearts of so many in Cranbrook & surrounding area. Your friendliness, compassion, understanding and just being a superb, normal human means a lot. You have also been known to go an extra million miles for a person. You deserve 10,000 hugs.

Slugs: a big slug to the employee that left the fan running making it almost unbearable to stay and watch a very good game, If you cannot do your job properly let some one else do it, it is no small wonder why the crowds get smaller when they are giving us such good entertainment, when you have to sit and freeze.

Please check back next week if you don’t see your hug this week.

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

Province develops transportation plan

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Gallery of Sight and Sound Your Telus Store with More 12701 20 Avenue Blairmore, AB

Two meetings were held earlier this week in southwest Alberta to begin development of a longterm highway strategy.

The strategy, which focuses on multiple travel options, connections and ways to move people and products, is intended to provide a vision for Alberta’s transportation system for the next few decades.

The province also said it will provide an overarching direction to help them make decisions on transportation investments, policies and programs.

“This isn’t about local projects or one-off deci-

sions. Alberta is taking a forward-thinking approach in developing a strategy that will help secure Alberta’s economic and environmental future over the next 50 years,” said Wayne Drysdale, Minister of Transportation. “We want Albertans to help us build a transportation system that makes sense for them and for generations to come.”

The province will hold two public consultation phases. The first includes discussions in 18 communities throughout the province.

In the southwest, a session was held in Fort Macleod on Feb. 3 and another took place on Feb. 4 in Lethbridge.

Mayor Blair Painter attended but details of the discussion were unavailable as at press time.

After this phase is complete, a draft strategy will be developed and made available for review and comment in the second phase.

In phase two, expected to take place in April and May, individuals and organizations are invited to participate online on the draft strategy.

All Albertans are invited to attend these sessions.

If you are not able to attend, you can submit questions and comments to TransStrategy@gov.ab.ca.

Communities may also host their own discussions and submit summaries of these discussions to Alberta Transportation for consideration in the strategy’s development.

Watch the Crowsnest Pass Free Press for more information at it becomes available.

Council provides update on activities

Press Release

On Jan. 29, special guests and RCMP employees were on hand to witness Assistant Commissioner Marianne Ryan assume the command of the RCMP in Alberta (“K” Division) from assuming command of more than 4,000 RCMP employees working in communities throughout the province. “I’m humbled by this opportunity, and I look forward to this next chapter in Alberta’s rich history with the RCMP.” Photo courtesy of RCMP

As Council moves into the new year, here is a brief update as to what we have been doing and the challenges that lie ahead for us.

As you know, we are pleased to have hired a new CAO and have been keeping him extremely busy. We also had our Director of Planning and Operations give his resignation in December and are working towards finding a suitable replacement for this position. As well, our Director of Finance and Corporate Services has sadly passed away. This has left our administration and office staff in emotional turmoil, and has put extra pressure on our office staff.

Everyone is working very hard to gather all of the data needed to prepare a budget for this year so that we can set our mill rate and send out the tax notices.

This is becoming a very challenging process needless to say.

Meanwhile, at the same time our administration is working hard to resolve our labour/ management conflicts. CUPE has been understanding to our circumstances and has been respectful of our situation. We will continue to address and resolve these conflicts in order to maintain a healthy employer staff relationship.

This council is still feeling the

wrath of our previous councils decision to spend an enormous amount of money on a re-branding program that many of our tax payers are not happy with. Our previous Council/Administration made sure that all of the contracts for the entranceway signs were in place and locations determined as well as all invoices paid other than a small hold back.

We have spent way too much time discussing this signage issue and these signs are scheduled to be erected by the end of January.

Another important issue we have been diligently working on is recovering from the 2013 flood. We are pleased to say that finally, as of January 25, tenders have been advertised for the repair of most of our flood damage.

We are hopeful that work will start soon after the closing dates and our creek issues addressed well before this year’s spring run off.

We have already started discussions regarding the moratorium on “Off Site Levies”. We will continue to discuss this matter and will be consulting our local builders and developers and other stakeholders in early February in regards to this matter.

Our community still has vacancies on some of our boards.

Since the fall, some members

have had their terms expire or positions vacated or just haven’t been filled. Please consider volunteering your time and help to develop a better community.

As you may have noticed, there is a “For Sale’ sign up on the old Hospital/Crowsnest Center site which has created a lot of interest in the purchase of that property. The contractor performing the demolition is still engaged and the final clean up of the area should happen very soon.

We are looking for an anchor development that suits our community and it does NOT have to be a Best Western.

Lastly, we would like everyone to be aware that the Crowsnest Pincher Creek Land Fill Association has available scholarships in the amount of $1,000 for students in the participating associate communities for students who are furthering their education.

Also, the Association has available a mobile kitchen that is available to non profit groups at no charge, other than a nominal deposit ensuring that the kitchen is returned and in the same condition as when it went out.

Booking arrangements may be made by calling the Landfill at 403-628-3849 or by visiting their website at www.crowsnestpinchercreeklandfill.com.

Watershed planning concerns community solutions

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

Crowsnest Pass council were given an overview of the headwaters and heard that despite good quality and quantity, there’s still a few concerns.

Shannon Frank with the Oldman Watershed Council (OWC) presented the headwaters action plan and a groundwater management planning study to municipal council on Jan. 14.

First, Frank said OWC is set up and supported by the province under the Water For Life Strategy. It is one of 11 watershed councils in Alberta.

OWC is a not-for profit organization that represents all sectors with seven to 20 volunteers on teams such as watershed science, planning, communications and funding.

“Our job is to report on the health of the watershed and to prepare an integrated watershed management plan to address issues that the community is concerned about,” she said. “Our mandate is to cover social, economic and environmental considerations.”

Crowsnest Pass is very important, she said, providing 90 per cent of the water needs downstream.

To look at the health of the watershed, OWC mapped the area to examine quality and quantity. Even though Crowsnest Pass has a good rating, there were a few trouble spots.

First, they found linear disturbances such as power lines, cutlines, roads, and pipelines are “fairly dense”. Seventy-seven per cent of wildlife was at moderate to high risk, she added.

“This is probably our biggest concern right now, just the sheer amount of linear disturbance,” said Frank.

Erosion risk was also high – not necessarily that erosion was happening, but that a high potential existed, she added In addition, a lot of sediment was present in the water contributing to general concern in the community, said Frank.

To develop an action plan, OWC held 22 community meetings with over 500 people providing input.

Frank said people were concerned about linear disturbance, cumulative impacts of recreation, logging, fire, grazing, industrial development and invasive species. People also wanted to see more public awareness and education, she said.

OWC has eight goals and is currently focusing on managing and protecting the integrity of the headwaters and source waters, Frank said. Part of this process

will be prioritizing and identifying what OWC can lead on and what partners such as the municipality can lead on.

They will then determine what recommendations to make to the Alberta government.

One of OWC’s requests to the province is to provide more enforcement and that existing fees and permits go directly to enforcement for the headwaters and not into general revenue.

Frank said OWC disagrees with the draft South Saskatchewan Regional Land Use plan not implementing fees for random camping.

“What we heard from the community is that they want fees on a sliding scale...” said Frank. “We’ve made that recommendation and we told them the community actually wants this, so you need to change this in the plan.”

Frank also presented a groundwater study that looked at 914 water well records including 186 energy well records.

Unfortunately, she said, it was difficult to get accurate data from either the province or private companies.

OWC is working to capture private landowners’ data, to promote stewardship to protect wells, and they have proposed monitoring locations throughout the municipality.

After thousands of years of rule, the British monarchy has survived its share of crisis. Insurrections, beheadings, the Catholic Church and unruly daughters-in-law - how unseemly that something as crass as money could now be keeping the Windsor house awake at night.

News last week that the Queen’s financial house was in disarry, sparked a flood of suggestions, chief among them that Royal houses be open to the public more often. Buckingham Palace, open 78 days a year, only brought in about half a million visitors.

The success of Downton Abbey has made British aristocracy chic for those looking to add to household coffers, so surely more can be done.

Opening palace doors and peeking inside is fine, but why stop there? Why not offer tea with members of the Royal Family to the highest bidder?

For X number of pounds, Camilla and you can have a tête-à-tête over tea and buttered toast.

Throw in a few more quid and our future king joins in. Imagine whiling away the afternoon as Charles regales you with tales of impending environmental doom. Oh, what fun!

Not your cup of tea? How about an hour or two cooing over baby George while William and Kate pretend they’re interested?

Of course, there’s always the big money. How much would you pay to have afternoon tea with Liz and Phil chatting about the lineage of the noble Corgi or who’s horse has the best chance at next year’s Royal Ascot. Perhaps you could even put a few pounds on the race – just for fun, mind you.

For the young, hipper crowd, who wouldn’t pay for a chance to have a drink with Harry? A G&T at one of London’s hottest nightclubs could fetch thousands of pounds. Throw in a little flirtatious banter and an evening at one of London’s exclusive private clubs, and you’ve got a winning combination sure to fetch in the six digits.

Did Prince Edward ever remarry after Fergie?

No? I envision a hit new TV show, “So you think you can be a Royal?” Based on the success of Dragon’s Den, the Windsors could test the mettle of would-be candidates with stinging commentary and a barrage of “why should we invest in you?” questions. (Make no mistake, entering the Family, is after all, a lifetime investment on their part.)

Oh yes, I can see it now - a mix of The Bachelorette without all that fussy rose business and American Idol with early elimination to all but a lucky few. Network ratings would skyrocket and in no time, Royal wallets would plump up higher than Bieber’s hair.

There are so many more opportunities waiting to be explored. Give me a call, Liz – we’ll brainstorm.

Over a cuppa.

Teck looks at social issues

By Joni MacFarlane Editor

An advisory group formed by Teck Coal met last week to review progress and continue its approach to community-based input on social issues affecting the company.

The Communities of Interest (COI) Advisory Initiative was formed about two years ago to provide community input on issues identified to impact Teck’s operations.

Their mission is stated, “to assist each of Teck’s Elk Valley operations achieve and maintain the highest level of performance in their sustainability goals and commitments by providing community input”.

Although many of the issues were specific to the Elk Valley, such as water quality, Teck said it was equally interested in hearing from Crowsnest Pass residents and employees.

The committee meets twice a year with representatives from Crowsnest Pass, Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford. All meetings

are open to the public.

Simon Howse, steering committee chair, told the group of about 40, that at the last meeting in October 2013, they reviewed their objectives and strategies, and formulated action plans around each of them.

The top five issues identified were environment, healthcare, housing shortages, childcare shortages and sustainability.

Howse said Teck would receive feedback on each of these issues as the COI proceeds.

Meeting facilitator Sharon Strom reviewed the mechanisms available for input from Teck’s communities.

They include boxes in all four communities that are regularly checked for feedback. In Crowsnest Pass, there are two boxes – one outside the front of the municipal office and another in the lobby of the Crowsnest Pass Chamber of Commerce office.

Strom said there is also a website, email address and toll-free phone number dedicated to receiving input from the community on issues affecting them.

In addition to an update on Teck’s operations from Don Sander, Greenhills general manager, participants were presented with the Elk River Watershed Valley Bottom Assessment Report from Lee-Anne Walker of the Elk River Alliance as well as an update of the Elk Valley Water Quality Project from Casey Brennan, Aboriginal Affairs Coordinator.

Jane Boyd, owner of 45 Conversations Media & Education, is working with Teck “building engagement and developing strategies” for the five identified issues presented her take on the importance of social media for communication.

Boyd also committed to developing a strategy to solve the childcare crisis in the Elk Valley to be designed over the next four months.

Lastly, Teck has focused on community investment in health, education, environment, and social and community issues. In 2013, they donated $1.373 million as follows: Community $1,205,000; Education $46,661; Environment $65,000; Health $50,000.

40 Development Assets update

By Katherine Mertz Submitted

As children, we daydream about what our future might look like.

Some of us would dream of becoming an astronaut or a veterinarian; some of us imagined having children of our own or travelling the world. Expectations placed upon us by others point us in the right direction and are a critical step towards our dreams becoming reality.

If the expectation is not there to grow, strive and achieve, then finding the right path and the motivation to travel down it can be a daunting task. Without these expectations from others, an individual may not have enough wind in their sail.

When the adults in a young person’s life (parents, school staff, neighbors, coaches, etc.) have high expectations of them, it is amazing how much more empowered they become and they get to experience

the pride that comes alongside exclaiming, “I did it!”

Contributing to an asset-rich community is easy, the first step is finding out what goals and dreams a child or youth may have.

Ask the young people in our community (neighbors, kids at the school, the youth bagging your groceries, etc.) what plans they have for their future. Then take it a step further – throw out some ideas on how to achieve their goals and express your optimism that they will get there.

Having these simple conversations with our youth every day, helps pave pathways for their future.

Monthly Challenge: Talk to three youth about their dreams and goals.

February’s Asset Building Story When I was growing up, I always admired my uncle Tom. Our families visited often even though we didn’t live in the same community.

He always took the time at every opportunity to make sure that both his children and myself understood the importance of acquiring a post secondary education.

Although my educational choice was to go into a “trade” and not to college or university, he encouraged me to make sure that I completed my training and education.

My career paths have changed through the years and I am thankful that I stayed the coarse and finished the first portion of my education.

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Although frigid temperatures may have kept some competitors away, many hardy cross-country skiers took part in the 4th annual Flight of the Crows Loppet on Saturday, Feb. 1 at Allison Chinook Recreation Area.

Originating in Scandinavia, Loppets are known as “citizen races” for their mixture of fun and intense competition. This year’s race saw changes to the distances to include a 9 km and 18 km. New this year, was a 1.5km race for youth ages 12 and under followed by fun sprints by “Jackrabbits”.

Deb Whitten, president of the Crowsnest Pass CrossCountry Ski Association said, the Organizing Committee was very pleased with how the event went.

“We had 35 enthusiastic volunteers who worked hard to ensure that the skiers were safe, well fed and that accurate results were generated quickly. We thank all the volunteers for their time,” she said. “The skiers expressed their pleasure with the course conditions and new layout. They found it challenging and fun.

There were 53 competitors including the Bunnyrabbit Sprints. Numbers were down from last year, possibly because of the sudden change to cold weather.”

“We were also pleased with the addition of the Jackrabbit Sprints to the event. The skiers participating had fun and were happy to be recognized with cookie medals.”

Results were as follows: 1.5KM FEMALE JACKRABBIT CLASSIC MASS START 1. Camille Eudes (Lethbridge) 11:42 2. Sophie Lynch Staunton (Lundbreck) 15:28 3. Mary Chalmers (Coleman) 15:57 4.

FCSS budget approved

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Despite the municipal budget still pending, a budget and grant allocation for Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) was approved for 2014 Lyle Hannan, director of protective & community services, told council on Jan. 21 that FCSS needs to know that it can deliver its various support programs even though the budget process has been delayed. FCSS is an 80/20 funding partnership between the province and municipalities, Hannan said,

and under this agreement, FCSS designs and delivers social programs to families and individuals in the community.

The municipality is eligible to receive $163,586 for continuation of FCSS programs provided the municipality contributes a minimum of $40,897. The recommendation for this year’s contribution is $58,801 – an increase of $2,270 in the triennial budget.

Hannan said highlights of the budget were reduced staff costs, increased community grant allocations and an increase to the Volunteer Appreciation Event.

“The idea behind that was basically in the past we were capping attendance based on

the venue so groups were given X amount of people that could attend,” said Hannan. “It’s my belief if you’re going to recognize volunteers, you open it up to any volunteer in the community.”

Council approved the proposed 2014 FCSS budget although it was noted that they have the option to review it during municipal budget discussions.

“There [are] a lot of groups that count very much on these dollars from FCSS and they do a lot of good work in the community,” said Councillor Dean Ward. “It’s important that we get that money out to these people as quickly as possible.”

Austin Pool and Landon Clarke thanked the Hillcrest Fish & Game Club for sending them to Narrow Lake Conservation Education Centre last summer. The trip is an opportunity for youth to learn outdoors skills, firearm safety and enjoy wilderness activities.

Domestic Bliss here to make life easier

By Joni MacFarlane Editor Are you tired of working all day and coming home to an endless list of chores? Does limited mobility make it hard to get errands done or take care of your yard?

If so, a new company in Crowsnest Pass offers an array of services designed to make your life easier.

Targeting specific groups in the community, Domestic Bliss offers lifestyle management and concierge services in everything from housecleaning to letting the dog out to picking up prescription refills.

Originally inspired by visiting her elderly parents, owner Lynnette Jessop said she found herself spending more and more time doing minor things for them.

“I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to just pick up the phone and have this done,” she said. “I see this as a service to help people maintain independence that allows them to stay in their home longer.”

Started last spring, Domestic Bliss provides seniors in the community with services such as handyman repairs, yard work, watching over homes and pets during absences, picking up mail or groceries, running errands or getting people to doctors appointments.

If a senior is thinking of downsizing or moving, Domestic Bill will help pack and organize garage sales or online sales of valuables. They can also create detailed inventory lists for use with estate planning.

Another service offered to seniors are home computer lessons in basic programs such as email, websites or Internet browsing.

Jessop said another target group for concierge services are absentee owners. Domestic Bliss can help get their home ready for arrival by shovelling walks, watering plants, turning on the furnace and stocking the refrigerator.

Domestic Bliss is different from house checking companies who are focused on providing services for security and insurance purposes, said Jessop.

“Ours is more like a concierge, a pampering service,” she added.

If you have a vacation home and guests are booked, Domestic Bliss will get the home ready for their arrival, she said. They will freshen the house, meet and greet guests and give them a walkthrough.

“Local B&B owners who are on vacation, can still make some income even though they’re not here,” Jessop added.

The third target group are busy working people, she said.

“Crowsnest Pass has a high percentage of shift workers and we offer services to help them manage their household,” said Jessop.

This can include feeding pets, running errands, receiving deliveries, or anything you don’t have time to do yourself. They will also provide minor household repairs and maintenance, but are not a general contractor, she added.

Although they will provide in-home pet services, Jessop said her company doesn’t provide boarding and will make kennel arrangements if needed.

Domestic Bliss will also help business owners organize company events or provide catering and bartending for private parties.

There are homecoming packages available for families returning home with a new baby or patients being discharged from hospital as well as special gift baskets that can be custom ordered.

If a family experiences an emergency such as an unexpected illness or death, Domestic Bliss will take care of the house, arrange accommodations for out of town guests and any other services as necessary.

“If someone has a need, we’ll make arrangements,” said Jessop. “Our vision is to be a one stop shop.”

The company has a network of people who do the tasks, she said, and Domestic Bliss maintains a data base of available people and their skills. They are then able to match a client’s needs with the right person.

“We prescreen and interview everyone who works with us,” said Jessop, “and ensure they have a police check.”

If you are interested in working with Domestic Bliss, there is a web page survey that can be completed.

“I’m very passionate about people living here,” she added. “I see a need here with the percentage of seniors, absentee owners and shift workers...

We’re providing a service to make people’s life easier so they can enjoy it and providing employment to put people’s skills to work.”

For more information on services available, visit www.domesticblisscnp.com or email domesticblisscnp@gmail.com or call 403-563-8829.

Changes add energy to your day

I am beginning to get excited for the smell of Spring in the air, which includes bbq’s!

Now is the perfect time to begin to think about shedding those extra pounds that may have crept back on over the winter, as you dream about walks along the river, riding your bike, fly fishing or hiking up a mountain trail or swimming in a lake!

The joy of all these fun times that lie ahead will take energy! Added protein to your diet can add energy to your day.

A good rule of thumb is to eat approximately every three to four hours, three meals and two to three snacks per day.

Begin your day with a hardy breakfast as this is the most important meal of the day. Example: 3 eggs, 1 slice quinoa toast/butter 1c coffee 1 glass water.

Snack 15gr pro-

tein: 1 protein snack (bar, drink, nuts, yogurt, fruit and nuts mixture etc) I always suggest to check your labels - sugar should be less than 4g! Sugar is your culprit!

SNACK recipe: Raw almonds-1 Bag Raw pine nuts-1 Bag Raw pecans- 1 Bag Handful chocolate chips 1 Bag Raisins 3 tbsp Pure Honey Mix nuts, chocolate chips, raisins and honey well with cinnamon. Spray pan with olive oil and spread mixture. Bake at 350 until lightly browned. Enjoy a healthy protein snack!

High quality results produced at track meets

By Ritch Braun Submitted On Jan. 18 and 19, the University of Alberta hosted the first of two annual track meets - the Golden Bear Open.

This portion was for athletes that were Midget age (14 and 15-years-old) and older.

Alisi Ratudradra was the sole Passtrak representative at the meet and competed in five events in the Midget age group.

She finished 16th in the long jump with a distance of 4.08 metres, 15th in the 200 metres in 28.98 seconds and 10th in the 60 metre hurdles in 11.25 seconds.

Quality Ingredients,

Death-by-Chocolate Cake

Perfect for Special Occasion or ‘Just Because’

This delicious cake goes together quickly and delivers a rich and intense shot of chocolate. It’s the perfect birthday cake or just an everyday treat to have ‘just because’. Get the best cocoa you can for it...you won’t be sorry! You can make it by hand or with the use of a stand mixer. If you don’t have a stand mixer, don’t be intimidated...it just might take a wee bit longer but it will be worth it.

Death-by-Chocolate Cake Adapted from the recipe by Marcel Desaulniers 4 large eggs 2 cups granulated sugar splash vanilla 1 ½ cups vegetable oil 2 cups fresh, hot coffee (I use Bushtown Blend from Crowsnest Coffee Company) 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking soda ½ teaspoon baking powder dash each of cinnamon and chili powder (optional, but adds a subtle flavour) dash of salt 1 ½ cups sifted cocoa powder

Preheat your oven to 325. Line a 9” springform pan with parchment paper and a shot of cooking spray and set aside. You can also use 2, 9” layer cake pans if you don’t have a springform pan.

In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the eggs, vanilla and sugar. Let mix on medium until light and frothy. Slowly add your oil, then coffee.

In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and chili if you’re adding those. Add these to your mixer and combine on low. Scrape down the sides of your bowl and mix again another minute until no lumps of flour remain. Finally, add your cocoa and mix just until combined. Overmixing can cause your cake to have an unusual peak in the centre, not unlike Crowsnest Mountain.

Scrape the batter into your prepared pan, rap it hard on the counter a time or two to remove any trapped air bubbles, then bake in the centre of your oven until done.

If you’ve used one pan, it will likely take over an hour. Two cake pans will be done in around 2425 minutes. Test with a toothpick in the deepest part of the cake and it should come out clean.

This cake is divine on its own, or with a simple dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!
