The Crowsnest Conservation Society actively promotes the coexistence of people and nature through a variety of programs. BearSmart 101 was held at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre on Sept. 15 with about 50 people attending. The program was sponsored by Devon Canada, Crowsnest Conservation Society, Fish and Wildlife, and the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre. A highlight for participants was the opportunity to practise bear spray use with inert spray cans. The Crowsnest Conservation Society BearSmart program has been chosen as one of 26 projects in the national Shell Fuelling Change program. The group currently sits first place in their category for votes, and appreciates the support coming their way from across the country. See today’s back page for further information about this program. Details of the BearSmart 101 program will be in the Sept. 23 online edition of Shootin’ the Breeze.

My Little Corner
What a hectic week! I felt somewhat like Bad Luck Schleprock of the Flintstones as we ran into a series of obstacles during production of the first issue of Shootin’ the Breeze. Amid the chaos, interruptions and technical issues we managed to have a few laughs and print a first issue that we are proud of. It was wonderful to receive supportive emails from strangers over the weekend letting us know that our efforts have been positively received and appreciated. A quick trip to Saskatchewan for a family affair on the weekend means that I’m still bleary-eyed and sleep deprived,
but also refreshed and eager to see what’s around the next corner. The number of people visiting the website at www.mountainsidenews.ca has also been a positive indication that we are on the right track. My apologies to those looking for the Sept. 19 online update! We’ve had some issues with the online paper reader and while sorting that out it made sense to look ahead to the Tuesday edition. From this point forward, the online updated papers will be posted on Mondays and Fridays as well as the print edition being posted on Wednesdays. - Shannon Robin, Publisher

A Change of Plan for our Website
Robert Burns knew it back in 1786 when he penned his poem “To a Mouse.” The poem is an apology to a mouse after Burns discovers that he has upturned the rodent’s nest while plowing a field. ... But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley, An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, For promised joy ... What Burns knew, and is telling the mouse, is that he isn’t alone, and that the best laid plans of mice and men often go wrong. We’ve experienced a bit of this proverbial grief in the past week at Mountainside News, and it has led to a slight change in plans for our online updates. We have been very pleased to see that www.mountainsidenews.ca has received a significant amount of traffic this past week. Running into a few technical glitches wasn’t entirely unexpected. However, we didn’t expect to have any difficulty
with the paper reading application. Darren and Cary have been working daily to get the functionality of the paper reader doing all of the things that we were able to have it do during our offline trial runs! We have also discovered that a few people with dial-up internet connections and iPads are having issues viewing the online paper. Cary has been dealing directly with those having issues. If you have found yourself in the same boat please email him at cary@mountainsidenews.ca. It all comes back to those best laid schemes ... To put the best product out to our readers at all times, regardless of any mishaps that may come our way, the full copy of our Wednesday print edition will be online by 9 a.m. on Wednesday, and the updates will be posted Monday and Friday. Online issues include more pictures, features, and updated coverage of area news and events.

Cool Wheels
Keep us in the Loop
Paul Chechotko of Sparwood can be found cruising around town in a most interesting set of wheels. At first sighting it demands a second look as one wonders what it could possibly be! The enclosed scooter is smaller than a smart car and with its battery-powered engine can reach speeds of up to 15 kilometres per hour. Paul seems quite accustomed to the attention that his bright blue chariot demands. He explains that he is not able to drive a car for medical reasons, and wanted something to offer more protection than a regular scooter. The scooter came from a supplier in British Columbia that his children found via the internet. Paul also shares that he has been ticketed a few times for driving on the road but that in the end no charges came of it because he was in an area without sidewalks.
There is an amazing array of happenings within the distribution area of Shootin’ the Breeze! Mountainside News staff have been busy researching events and contacting organizers so that the news can be passed on to our readers. We are on the lookout for news all the time, and hope that our readers will continue to keep us in the loop and point us in the direction of things happening in their schools, clubs, service groups, and neighbourhoods so that we can promote events before they happen and provide coverage afterward. If it’s interesting to you, then it’s important to us! To send your news tips and items call 403-904-2227 or email news@mountainsidenews.ca.

Summer’s End Harvest Festival
The Great Canadian Barn Dance has the perfect formula for a new festival: “Bid farewell to glorious summer and usher in autumn’s splendour.” The change of seasons is being celebrated on Sept. 24 from 1 to 11:30 p.m., and everyone is invited. Beginning at 1 p.m., guests can take part in an ice cream social, a musical jam session, potato sack races, tug-of-war, a scarecrow beauty pageant, and a corn-shucking contest. Guests can visit the newly remodelled Granny’s Gift Shop and Tea House for a snack or some shopping. There is beautiful scenery to enjoy while bumping along the trail on a
hay ride. In true barn dance fashion there will be a roast beef dinner followed by dancing to the tunes of the Barn Dance All Star Band. This is a true family event suitable for every generation. Guests may come for the afternoon, the night, or the whole weekend. At a perfect location three miles north of Hill Spring, the Great Canadian Barn Dance site boasts camping and lodge accommodations, a 15-acre pond for fishing and canoeing, an equipped sports field, frisbee golf and a playground.

Sept. 21 - Forum on Quality of Life & Livability in Fernie Sept. 22 - Fernie Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting Sept. 26 - Pincher Creek Curling Club annual meeting
Another Successful Run When Irene Hollander lost both parents to cancer, just three months apart, she was abruptly handed ample motivation to lace up for the second Terry Fox Run for cancer research, in 1982. Last Sunday, she was among 20 participants and five volunteers in Pincher Creek’s annual run, one of hundreds across the country. Bill Elton, a key organizer, said the local campaign raised $4,800, topping last year’s total of $4,500. “I used to run it; now I walk briskly,” Irene quipped after her 16th Terry Fox Run. She completed the five-kilometre circuit twice, spurred in part by a sponsor’s per-kilometre pledge. “Only five kilometres really didn’t feel like enough.” It’s just the type of commitment, shared by hundreds of thousands in Canada and over 60 other countries, that’s made the Terry Fox Run the world’s largest single-day, cancerfighting fundraiser.
Shootin’ the Breeze Sept. 21/11 Page 7
Several years after her parents’ deaths first inspired her participation, another personal tie drew Irene back to the event. One of her clients, Ella Froese, got involved in the run after a brain tumour took her daughter’s life. Irene, a hairdresser who has called Pincher Creek home for 47 years, joined Ella in the 1997 run. She’s been running – or walking briskly – ever since. Even apart from such personal connections, the prevalence of cancer would still drive her commitment, Irene said. “It’s all around us.” Over the past 30 years, the run has raised more than $550 million for the Terry Fox Foundation, which steers 85 cents of every dollar directly into research. Area schools will participate in the national school run day and other Terry Fox activities on Wednesday, Sept. 28.
Potato Cannon Contest The Pincher Creek Rotary Club is holding its first ever “potato cannon” contest on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 10 a.m. at the Matthew Halton High School football field. Rotary Club members assure us that participants and spectators will get their daily requirement of laughter at the event. Everyone is invited to come meet their mascot, Spunta. Contestants under the age of 18 can enter cannons for $15, and those over 18 can enter for $30. The two categories will compete for
both distance and accuracy of the potato cannons. For anyone who wants help building a cannon, a three-hour class will be held Sept. 24. The cost for supplies is $63 and the class will include a chance to practice shooting the cannons. Net proceeds from the “fun raiser” will stay in the community to support youth programs. The event is supported by McCains Foods, who will be providing potato products for the Matthew Halton Mustangs football team to
sell at their concession stand during the event. More information and applications are available at Four Winds Real Estate in Pincher Creek, Matthew Halton High School and from any Pincher Creek Rotarian. You can also visit the website at www.clubrunner.ca/pinchercreek. A quick Google search of “potato gun” on the internet shows a vast array of spud firing machines from the simple to the extreme. This contest is sure to test imaginations as well as building skill!

Nanton Skate Park Fundraiser Corporal Nathan Hornburg grew up as a familiar face in the Nanton area as he spent much of each summer at his family’s ranch. On Sept. 24, 2007 Cpl. Hornburg was killed in action by enemy fire in Afghanistan, at the age of 24. Cpl. Hornburg used his skateboard for both fun and transportation. It is fitting that Nanton residents have chosen to build a skate park in his memory. A celebration of the new skate park will be held on Sept. 24 at the Nanton Community Centre.
