The Chinooks scored four goals in the first period, leaving the Thunder trailing by two goals.

The two goals by the Thunder were scored in the last ten minutes of the first period. They were made by Sam Graham and Sophie GibboneyStafford with assists coming from Gavin Samuel and Parker Bunnage.

During the second period, the Thunder were able to put in another goal from McKye Schaffer assisted by Sophie Gibboney-Stafford and Josh Heyboer. But the Chinooks kept their rhythm, adding another six goals.

The third period proved difficult for the Thunder as they tried to keep up with the Chinooks.

The visitors tallied another six goals leaving the final score at 16-3 for the Chinooks.

In between the pipes for the Thunder was Ryder Jorgensen. He made some difficult saves while facing a total of 56 shots on net.

The next day, the Thunder played in Fort MacLeod against the Mavericks. It was another tough game for the Thunder as they tried to follow up their loss to the Chinook being defeated 22-2 by the Mavericks.

The two goals for the Thunder were scored by Gavin Samuel with assists coming from Aidan Bishop, Nicolas Gillespie and Parker Bunnage.

Goaltending that game was Branson Gillard who stopped a total of 43 shots on net.

The Simple Raven’s Post

BY AVNER PERL

The story that we tell oursevles I was carrying my hotdog, fries, and drink in Costco and there was no free table to sit at. A voice by my elbow said, “You are welcome to sit here. I am almost finished.” It was an old guy with long hair and a beard, much like me. Thanks, I said, sat down, and introduced ourselves. There was some fierceness to him. I knew someone with your last name, I said, he was my professor at University. The old guy surprised me and said, yes, he was my brother. He is gone now. It made me sad. He said he was in Lethbridge for a class 50year reunion. Wow! He told me he visited the Crowsnest Pass the day before, to see a friend who couldn’t travel anymore. Tomorrow, he said, he was going back home to work. Work? I took a deep breath. He was at least eighty years old. Apparently, he is supervising some task force to save one of the Great Lakes on the American side. His brother, who was teaching me in the mid-seventies, exposed me to the idea that we will be fighting for the planet’s survival now, trying to prolong human civilization against people willing to destroy it for shortterm gains. What a family! Why are some people willing to devote their lives to future human beings whom they will never know? They have a story that they are living here on earth. This guy had a good story. I know many who have dreadful stories. They accumulate wealth and care nothing about others of their kind. They attach their lives to their “investment portfolio.”

Everyone has stories, and to some degree, the stories form their reality. The reality is not what we want it to be, but all our thoughts. Your story includes all your fears, dirty thoughts, deceptive actions, hopes, and dreams, and yes, also your wishes. Those of us who pray mostly tell the cosmic God what we wish for or ask for forgiveness for things we shouldn’t have done in the first place. Often, we include excuses forgetting that the God we are praying to knows all that we are hiding. When we say “God” we have a story in our mind about what God is. He or she, if you wish, is all of what the story says, but

there is no cheating. Cheating is only available for living humans and there is a price for it. He is a loving, forgiving God, but we call Him Father or our Father in heaven. A loving father is always concerned with how the children are brought up. If he teaches them to cheat, steal, and so on, he is not a good father. He will pay a price just like anyone else.

I invested a good portion of my life in studying subjects like memories. It is fascinating how it works. A game is played in each human mind. The experts say that we are our memories, but it’s not as simple as that. We forget much more than we remember. “How soon we forget.” What we remember is not what really happened, but the last version we made up the last time we focused on it. The reaction of others who may have the same memories also becomes a part of our memories.

When someone is telling a story, we often hear them say, “everyone has seen it. It’s true.” Not so, as any court official can witness. People remember the same event in different ways. The memories are tainted by what they want to prove, which will match their personal interests. They will be convinced that their story is true, but a camera may prove otherwise. Even a camera is not foolproof, since a human interprets what the camera records. Interpretations may not be the same. The angle of the camera matters. A portrait can be complementary or damning. It will change the story.

Now, in the year 2022, the story of most humans has changed. The story of the last hundred years was full of hope and promise. All eyes were trained on the West and its ever-growing economies. The political system of democracy insured a fair chance of success. People willingly worked, saved, and invested. Billions of people not fortunate enough to share in the good life could see on the newly invented electronic devices’ screens that a better story is possible, and they dreamed. The bubble of hope grew thinner and busted.

The elite class consolidated its power and democracy lost the ability to guarantee a reasonably good life in exchange for work.

Beginning in China, a movement started spreading amongst the young to give up and do nothing. Young people don’t foresee a future like their parents had and give up on the American dream. They don’t have children, don’t buy homes and work to improve them, and rarely bother with higher education. They expect the world to burn down, flood out, or be destroyed by nuclear weapons. Many live on a trip of illicit drugs or alcohol. In China, they no longer are willing to work 9 to 9 for $10,000 a year and here they don’t wish to work for the benefit of large monopolies and billionaires.

There is a better story. People working for a better world for all. It can start somewhere and spread amongst all humans. It must start amongst those who have got; not fought over by those who have not.

LISA SYGUTEK I am sure everyone can agree things are tough for a lot of people. Price Increases as of October are 10 per cent for food, 12 per cent for rent, 18 per cent for gasoline, and 16 per cent for energy. You just must drive down the street in the Crowsnest Pass and see the gasoline prices creeping closer to $2/litre.

Weather forecasters are saying that we are in for a brutally cold winter.

I continually worry about the people in our little Garden of Eden. According to our last census, we are the ‘oldest’ community in Alberta per capita. That means that we have an aged demographic of which many are on a fixed income. It breaks my heart thinking that people may have to choose between food and heating their homes. To make things worse the predictions are that we are also heading into a recession.

I’m passionate about attainable housing. I still remember the stories of my mom growing up in this community as one of the ‘poor kids’. She didn’t have anything but hand-me-downs from other families. She worked hard to support her and my aunt just for the necessities. She never forgot where she came from, and she sure made sure I understood how lucky I was to grow up in a family that did not struggle. Because of her I truly believe it is my social responsibility to help those less fortunate than myself. My door has always been open and my cupboards full for any kids that came to my house.

I found out recently that we have a substantial demographic in our community living in travel trailers. I know of families of five who are trying to exist right here in our community. I can’t imagine how cold they must get in the winter when it hits -20.

Our local Family and Community Support Services (FCCS) does food hampers for Christmas. I am the Council representative for that organization and boy do I love it. It’s a progressive board of people trying to make is easier for those just trying to exist.

Below is an excerpt from Kim Lewis, the coordinator of the program. Please read this and if you have a little extra - try to help. I’m buying a hamper or two, if you can afford it, please help as well.

From Kim Lewis: It’s hard to believe that the 2022 Christmas season is already approaching. During this time of year, it is important to remember those in our community who require a helping hand, by providing Christmas Food Hampers to those in need. Our Christmas Hampers include everything needed to provide a family with a traditional Christmas Dinner. The cost of each Christmas hamper is approximately $100.

FCCS and the Crowsnest Pass Food Bank partner to fundraise for our Christmas Hamper Campaign.

This endeavor would be impossible without the kindness and generosity shown by our community and partners like you. We are asking for your support and donations to make this years’ campaign a success.

You can help make this an enjoyable holiday season for those in need in our community with your kind donation. Applications for those applying for a hamper will be accepted from November 1st to December 8th by calling Kim at 403-563-2207 Thank you for supporting this worthwhile project in past years. Last year we delivered over 124 food hampers to those needing a helping hand in our community. If you require more information, please contact FCCS at (403)563.2207. Thank you for supporting our annual Christmas Food Hamper Campaign!

To donate please make cheques payable to the: “Municipality of Crowsnest Pass” - FCCS - C/O Christmas Hamper Project - Box 600 - Blairmore, AB T0K 0E0, or in person at the Community Services Office located in MDM Community Centre.

Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal hold update for the community NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter Citizens Supportive Crowsnest Coal (CSCC) hosted the CEO’s of Montem Resources and Riversdale Resources at the Elks Hall on November 14.

The meeting had a turnout of close to 50 people, with a number of those in attendance from the mining companies. Most of those at the meeting were older residents of the Pass.

CEO of Riversdale Resources Mike Young and CEO of Montem Resources Peter Doyle, presented to those in attendance, speaking about their visions for coal in the Crowsnest Pass.

Young spoke to the group first after a brief introduction from members of CSCC. He explained he had only been in Alberta since October 4 after moving here from Australia, although he was born in Canada.

“I have a very strange accent having moved from Kingston, Ontario,” Young joked.

He continued his presentation by highlighting what accomplishments Riversdale’s parent company Benga Mining have made and the amount of capital they can invest in the project. He also spoke about the how they have worked with Aboriginal groups in Australia and how they look to replicate that here in Alberta.

Near the end of his talk, Young said they are working to get the Grassy Mountain project up and running.

“We do want to mine it, there's no secret about that. We want to [mine] it in a responsible way and in an inclusive way,” he said, “We want to hear from everyone [including] what the concerns are and make sure that we can address it.”

Next up was Doyle, who talked about the direction Montem is going with their Tent Mountain Renewable Energy Complex (TM-REX) but how it isn’t their only hope for the future of the business.

“Part of the reason to do [the TM-REX] is so that we can hang around and be a coal mining company in the future. And that's what we want to be,” he said.

According to Doyle, there is 15 years worth of coal at Tent Mountain. He said the government needs to work out what it wants to do with coal.

Following the CEOs presentation was Troy Linderman of CSCC. He had a presentation about how the taxes on the mines would help the community and included

claims the Municipal Council is only “working in the background” in their support for coal mining.

“I'm sure they're working on something, but we haven't seen it publicly yet,” said Linderman.

This was argued by Councillor Lisa Sygutek during the Q&A, who talked about how council has “fought” for coal mining. She spoke about the meetings they have had with ministers and the public statements they have made during council meetings and to the joint review panels for the coal projects in the Crowsnest Pass. After she left the meeting, the council was defended by Doyle as well.

“That’s not right, council definitely sent in letters to the JRP (joint review panel),” he said.

In a statement on November 17, Doyle reinforced how the council has assisted the mining companies in the area.

“Montem has received continuous support from the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass as we work to develop our coal projects in the region. We look forward to continuing to work closely with council to bring investment and economic opportunities to the area,” said Doyle.

School Trustees require information in advance of meetings FRANK MCTIGHE CONTRIBUTOR Livingstone Range School Board took steps last week to help trustees prepare for meetings.

Trustees amended their policy Nov. 14 to require all supplemental information and presentations to be provided at least seven days before a meeting.

Trustee Carla Gimber said there have been numerous occasions when information is presented at the meeting.

“If I had the information in advance I know I would have had questions that I could ask at the time,” Gimber said. “That’s where this motion is coming from.”

The change to board policy was on the agenda of the Nov. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Gimber said the board often receives background information or slides of presentations at meetings.

Receiving that material in advance of the meeting would allow trustees time for consideration and to develop thoughtful questions.

Trustee Brad Toone agreed it would benefit trustees to receive information in advance.

“It always is crucial to have as much information as soon as possible so we can come to meetings prepared,” Toone said.

Toone wanted the motion expanded to include all background information, particularly if a topic has budget implications.

“Having that information before we make a decision is key as well,” Toone said.

Gimber said it was her intent to have any supplementary materials provided at least seven days in advance of the meeting.

Trustee Lori Hodges said the audit committee can’t meet far enough in advance to discuss budget to meet the seven-day time line.

“I feel like this motion would tie our hands because we’re not always able to meet that far in advance,” Hodges said.

Toone stressed the policy remains flexible to make exceptions, such as reports from the audit committee.

Trustees approved the amendment to policy to include supplemental presentation material, financial documents and budget implications be provided at least seven days in advance.

If the background material or presentations are not provided seven days in advance, the board may ask the discussion be postponed.

Blairmore Lions donate to Roxy NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

The Blairmore Lions have given a large donation to help “Revive the Roxy” to glory.

Members of the Crowsnest Cando Society and the Blairmore Lions gathered to celebrate a large donation to the Roxy Theatre on November 18.

The two groups got together for the exchange of a cheque representing a $25,000 donation. The money will go towards helping with repairs on the Roxy Theatre.

Charles Clarke, President of the Blairmore Lions, said a couple of Cando members approached them at a meeting to request a donation for their cause.

“Our committee met, and our group decided on the amount that we thought was feasible to donate to this size of operation,” explained Clarke.

Blairmore Lions member Daryl Ferguson said a lot of the money for the donation comes from the bingo nights they host. Ferguson said the Lions work on making sure the money goes back into the community.

“We get donations ‘in kind’ and then we recycle that back to the community,” added Clarke.

They said they recognized the potential of the Roxy Theatre to be fixed up before it breaks down even more.

"It's been sitting here empty for so long and it is a natural heritage site that should be brought back to life

again and not just left,” said Clarke, “The longer it stays empty, the longer it just dwindles down.”

This year they have several community programs and projects they have donated to, with donations totaling over $70,000 in 2022 alone. This includes getting the train running at the park in Blairmore. Aside from bringing the train back, they have helped with donations to numerous other initiatives throughout the community.

Clarke said they are always looking for new members to join them in their volunteer efforts. The Blair-

more Lions currently have around 50 members that help with various activities and projects around the Crowsnest Pass.

“Nobody has to do anything they don't want to do, we are all volunteers,” said Clarke.

They meet every first and third Monday of the month at the Lions Hall in Blairmore on 20 Avenue to discuss all the different programs and events where they can help the community.

Clarke said those interested in joining are encouraged to attend any of the club’s meetings.

Place-based training by LRSD NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter

The Livingstone Range School Division held a workshop for “place-based education” at the Crowsnest Pass Golf Club on November 8 and 9.

According to the school divisions website, placebased programming provides students with an opportunity for personal growth and development. It also said students get to connect learning with nature and the environment as they develop lifelong skills, prepare for future employment, and potentially earn high school credits.

During the workshop, they were presented with education principles from Teton Science Schools (TSS).

One of the ideas around this is the community as a classroom.

“Communities serve as learning ecosystems for schools where local and regional experts, experiences, and places are part of the expanded definition of a classroom,” said a presentation from TSS. An example in the presentation for this type of learning included how fourth and fifth grade students at Mountain Academy undertook a wildlife safety project. They did this after learning about the number of animals killed by vehicle collisions in their community.

The students ended up working with the community and chose a space adjacent to Highway 22 to place two reflective elk silhouettes. This was an attempt to help reduce wildlife mortalities from crossing roads.

The presentation said the students went beyond the classroom to learn about the local wildlife and how toprotect it.

They explained the benefits of each principle of

learning and examples of how they benefit students.

The rest of the principles include having a “local to global context”, being “inquiry-based,” “design thinking,” being “learner-centered” and involves an “interdisciplinary approach” for real world skills.

Not only did the workshop highlight the benefits, it showed those in attendance how to plan their own programs and monitor the success of each individual student.

Over the two-day workshop they worked to develop intentional culture with group and practice community leadership and build a leadership toolbox to support implementation of place-based learning.

They also set school, department and individual place-based goals while engaging with tools to support using the new learning model. The workshop also in-

cluded reference materials and guides emphasizing the “power of place” and the affect it has on learning.

“We’ve all experienced the power of place: those moments when we’re immersed deeply in experiencing the world around us and what’s happening there is real and meaningful. Learning in these moments is organic and visceral. There’s much to learn from the places we inhabit — from traveling across the globe to getting out into our own communities. Yet, formal learning experiences that leverage the power of place remain the exception and not the rule,” an excerpt from “What is Place-Based Education and Why Does it Matter” by Getting Smart in partnership with eduInnovation and TSS.

Obituaries - Gone but not Forgotten EMMAMUEL WILLIAMSO 2001 ~ 2022

It is with immense sorrow and heartache that we announce the passing of Emmanuel Douglas Williamson, formerly of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, who succumbed to health issues and died peacefully in his sleep. He was 21 years of age.

Emmanuel was born on October 10, 2001 in Blairmore, Alberta to proud parents, Percy and Sylvia Williamson. The youngest of four children, Emmanuel displayed a zest for life and for laughter from an early age. He had many interests and passions including: hunting and target shooting, writing and listening to music, singing, snowboarding, long boarding, video games, working with his hands, and caring for his animal pets. After graduating high school, he gained employment in Lethbridge and proudly garnered a welding apprenticeship position with a reputable and outstanding firm. His greatest accomplishment and blessing was the miracle of his baby daughter, Jayden, whom he loved and cherished with all his heart – he was very proud to be allowed to select her name and have it tattooed along with her birthday upon himself. Emmanuel experienced much joy and love in his few years along with great trials and tribulations but through it all he made those around him smile and appreciate his caring and compassion. He will forever be fondly remembered and dearly missed.

He is survived by his parents, Percy & Sylvia Williamson of Blairmore; his siblings, Ephemia Williamson, Ricky Williamson and Hailie Porter; his precious daughter, Jayden Loseth-Williamson and her mother, Aurora Loseth; his cousins who he grew up with, Bryce and Nicole Wittfoth; grandfather, Douglas Williamson; step-brother, Jamie Clark; step-sister, Julie Clark; and numerous extended family members and friends.

The funeral service celebrating his life will occur on Monday, November 21, 2022 at 1pm at Fantin’s Funeral Chapel, (13461-20th Ave), Blairmore, AB with family member, Pastor Dennis Williamson presiding. Donations in memory of the late Emmanuel Williamson may be directed to an education fund for Jayden. Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.

School division updates FRANK MCTIGHE Contributor

Trustees choose facilitators for evaluations Livingstone Range School Board will contract two familiar facilitators to help with the self-evaluation of trustees and the superintendent.

Trustees voted to use Cal Hauserman and David George at dates to be recommended by the chair and vice-chair.

“I felt they are a good fit,” trustee Lori Hodges said.

Hodges brought the recommendation to use Hauserman and George to the Nov. 14 meeting at the G.R. Davis Administration Building in Fort Macleod.

Hodges said the board has done previous evaluations and superintendent evaluations with the assistance of Hauserman and George.

School board vice-chair Greg Long agreed with Hodges that Hauserman and George have worked well with the board on past evaluations.

“They have done a very good job . . . and know us quite well,” Long said. “I think it’s a good idea.”

Trustee Brad Toone pointed out it is in policy that the chair and vice-chair bring a list of facilitators with a recommendation.

Toone wondered why the recommendation was coming from a trustee, without a list of potential facilitators.

“I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t lost.’

Hodges said.

Trustee Clara Yagos agreed it is important the board proceed with the evaluations.

“It’s already November and we better be looking at booking them,” Hodges said.

Toone was opposed to the motion.

“I think we have a lot of big things coming up both provincially and as a board,” Toone said. “Some of those discussions will have a big impact on how we move forward as a board. I don’t want to make the de-

cision right now, trying to crystal ball what our needs are, not knowing how those discussions are going to go.”

As an example, Toone cited the modernization of schools in Nanton, which is dependent on provincial funding.

Facilitators might be needed for community consultation.

Toone preferred to use the old process of having the chair and vice-chair provide trustees with a choice of facilitators for the evaluation.

Hodges recommended the board select Hauserman and George for the evaluations, and deal with the need for any other facilitators should it arise.

“I am comfortable with Cal and David,” Hodges said.

The motion passed with only Toone and trustee Carla Gimber opposed.

Hauserman was a principal for Medicine Hat School Division from 1979-2012 and is a graduate instructor for Athabasca University in addition to his work as a consultant.

George worked 39 years in education, including 20 years as a principal for Medicine Hat School Division before becoming an educational consultant.

BRIAN EDWARD GEE

August 31, 1952 ~ November 10, 2022 (Edward) Brian Gee passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness at St. Michael’s Palliative Care Unit in Lethbridge, AB on November 10, 2022, at the age of 70 years. Born in Edmonton he was the son of the late Gilbert Gee & Sylvia (nee Charlesworth).

During Brian’s childhood he would accompany his parents to Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff staying in the beautiful historic railway hotels of the Canadian Rockies. His father being the President of the Chartered Accountants Association of Alberta was responsible for planning the annual conventions in these iconic locations.

Those memories above all else would define the man Brian was to become. Throughout his life, Brian loved the history of train travel, good food in beautiful settings, tailored clothing, quality tea and tobacco, good scotch, and expensive cars.

He was well read preferring non-fiction and enjoyed stimulating conversations rather than idle chit-chat.

The love he had for his dogs over the years was as great as the love he had for his family. Brian had a soft spot for babies the odd time he was in their presence. Always polite, always the gentleman but always true in expressing his opinions however contrary they may be to those around him.

Brian attended Garneau Elementary and Strathcona High School where he made many friends. These friendships remained ongoing, and he valued them immensely.

His life during his twenties was in Edmonton. Studying music at Grant McEwen College, Brian became a drummer and a lover of Jazz. His natural talent and disposition enabled him to make lifelong friends within the music industry. He had the privilege to play with friends and fellow musicians he would miss after relocating to Southern Alberta.

Brian met his wife Kathy in 1983, with Brian living in Edmonton and Kathy in Toronto they continued a long-distance relationship. Until 1987 when Brian moved to Toronto, he enrolled in Watch Making at the George Brown College and graduated in 1989.

In August of that year Kathy and Brian married, moved to Edmonton, and lived in Brian’s childhood home. The mountains were now only a 3 ½ hour drive away. Over the next 17 years Brian and Kathy were primarily self-employed. Their heritage home near the University of Alberta became the Garneau Bed and Breakfast. Also, their baking business called “A Couple of Tarts” operated for 6 years and was located at the Old Strathcona Farmers Market.

In 1994 a beautiful infant daughter named Lauren Kathleen was born prematurely but was unable to live. The unbearable sadness was to remain until the birth of a healthy son named Theodore Edward in 1997.

Brian and Kathy’s dream to live in the mountains was influenced by their son reaching school age. Although, friends and family would be missed they felt it was time to relocate and build a home and a life in the Crowsnest Pass Area. A parcel of land had been purchased in 1995. The 42 acres overlooked the Livingstone range, being the front range of the Canadian Rockies. Breathtaking and beautiful it was to be Brian’s and his family’s home for the remainder of his life. During these 19 years, Brian’s son attended Livingstone school in Lundbreck. Kathy and Brian purchased The Cinnamon Bear Bakery and Café in 2004. During the next 14 years, Brian and Kathy worked together to build a business that they loved and were proud of, a business that enabled them to meet and become friends with countless people not only locally but from all over the province and country.

Brian not only was equally responsible for the success of The Cinnamon Bear, but he also took on the responsibility of becoming the primary caregiver for his son while Kathy’s role involved early mornings and often long days. This involvement in Theo’s life established an incredible bond between them that will always remain.

The community of Willow Valley where Brian and his family lived was a warm and welcoming one. During Brian’s extended illness the care and concern shown to his family will never be forgotten.

Those left to mourn his passing is his wife Kathy of 33 years and son Theodore (Maddison) of Lethbridge, AB, sister Penny Kostiuk (Joseph) and nephew Peter (Simone) of Edmonton, AB, Brian’s extended family on his wife’s side; Elaine Kingston (late David) of Whitehorse, YT, and those in Ontario; Phyllis Aubertin (Andy), Garry Martineau (late Susan), Marilyn Nelles (Joe), Marlene Paquette (Stan), Cheryl Frenette (late Chuck) and Cindy Aube (Joss), as well as many dear nieces, nephews and friends.

Cremation has been entrusted to Evergreen Cremations Services.

A Celebration of Brian’s life will be announced in the New Year and will be held in the Spring. Donations to the Humane Society are welcome. Lucy the family dog loved Brian unconditionally as all dogs do and will miss him as much as his family and friends.

John Clarke retires from Fish and Wildlife NICK ALLEN Pass Herald Reporter John Clarke with Alberta Fish and Wildlife has decided to retire from his position after years of service in the communities of the Crowsnest Pass and around Alberta.

“It was an awesome career. I wouldn't have done anything else,” said Clarke.

Clarke was with Fish and Wildlife for 34 years and worked across the province including Stony Plain and Fort McMurray. In 2014, he took over the district officer position in the Pass.

He first became interested in the job when he was only eight years old after watching the TV show “Flipper” and seeing the officer protect the animals in the show. As he got older the memory stayed with him, leading him to enroll for the program in college.

After three years of college, he was hired by Fish and Wildlife but did several different jobs throughout his career including a job as a quad instructor.

“I was on an undercover surveillance team and did some of that later in my career, I ran the Bear Dog program for 16 years,” said Clarke, “I did that in the Community and around the province.”

He explained how he was also a “predator response team” leader who dealt with any animal situation that presented a serious danger, such as mauling. He responded to over a dozen of these calls in his career saying he had to become an expert in the field on these types of encounters with wildlife.

Dealing with new challenges each day was one of his favourite parts of the job. Clarke has done extensive work with bears, creating one of the organizations focused on bear safety in the Pass.

“I created Bear Smart here, we've been doing that for about 12 years, so I worked with them a lot,” said Clarke, “I liked working with all the people and forming those bonds which made a big difference in my job.”

He said catching poachers was a rewarding part of the job, but admitted it was stressful to deal with the “self-entitlement” of some hunters.

“There's a lot of people that do things wrong, where they get a little ticket, but then there's some bad people around here that are poachers,” said Clarke, “A lot of guys don't have empathy for the animals, but I have met some awesome hunters.”

But after working for so long, Clarke said he has had enough of holding people accountable. Whenever there were issues with bears in the community, he never blamed the animals.

“It's a people problem, not a bear problem,” he said.

Clarke hopes people keep on calling in about animal problems and asks that they care about the animals. He also encourages people to work with their neighbours and hold them accountable for wildlife attractants as the animals are always going to be around.
