Twenty-six commu-nities throughout the province will receive 2014 Age-friendly BC grants to support a vari-ety of projects designed to help older adults stay mobile, physical-
ly active and healthy, Health Minister Terry Lake announced today.
“This year communi-ties were encouraged to consider projects that complemented three provincial priorities for seniors: elder abuse prevention, dementia
care and non-medical home support,” said Lake. “Each approved project reflects the vision of an age-friend-ly British Columbia, in which older people are supported to live active, socially engaged and independent lives.
Specific examples of approved 2014 Age-friendly BC grants include: elder abuse and “train the trainer” work-shops in Tumbler Ridge to raise awareness about how to recognize and respond to elder abuse; Pemberton’s
“Seniors Interacting Through Art” program aimed at assisting seniors to communi-cate and express them-selves more fully; and Invermere’s companion program designed to match seniors with vol-unteers who will assist with everyday living activities such as shov-elling the sidewalk and grocery delivery.
In the East Kootenay region, Invermere will be receiving $19,310 for its program and Golden will also receive $19,600 for an area age-friendly plan.
“Seniors helped build our province and are the cornerstone of fami-lies and communities,” said Linda Larson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health for Seniors. “The Age-friendly Community Planning and Project Grant program reflects our work with local governments, Union of British Columbia Municipalities and other partners to achieve a vision where people of all ages and abilities feel included and val-ued in their communi-ties.”
Applications for the 2014 round of age-friendly grants were reviewed by a committee of staff from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and the Ministry of Health. Sixteen out of the 26 communities approved to receive a grant had not received fund-ing under the program between 2009 and 2013. Close to $500,000 will be awarded to this year’s successful grant applicants.
“The approved applications are from rural and urban com-munities throughout the province,” said Rhona Martin, presi-dent of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. “We are pleased to see so many new recipients in the current round of fund-ing.”
The Age-friendly Community Planning and Project Grant program is a part-nership between the Government of British Columbia and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. To date, age-friendly grants have funded over 200 proj-ects in over 120 B.C. communities helping to keep seniors active, healthy and indepen-dent.
Age-friendly grants help seniors stay physically active and mobileSeniors helped build our province and are the cornerstone of families and communities,”

Minister of Health for Seniors.

Is there a woman in your East Kootenay community who is an astounding volunteer or paid worker who goes beyond the call of duty to create a bet-ter place for every-one? If so, we are asking you to create a committee and send in your nomination letters of support for your candidate to the Canadian Federation of University Women Cranbrook Club before February 14th, 2014.
“This will be our 30th year CFUW Cranbrook Club has honoured East Kootenay women,” stated Woman of the Year Committee Chair, Cathryn Henley. We know there are sev-eral more outstand-ing women in the East Kootenay, but we need the community to nom-inate them. Our dead-line this year is Friday, February 14th, 2014. It seems like a long way off, but once someone has decided to nomi-nate a woman, there has to be letters of sup-port of this nomination. The most important factor is the woman
nominated should not be aware. Most “give it all of themselves” type women would put the brakes on their nomination if they were to know someone was going to submit their name and have a committee to write in letters of support. These kinds of people do not usually think they are doing any-thing above the call of duty, or give more of themselves than oth-ers. That is one of the reasons why they are so special. “All of this effort to submit a well-researched nomination with letters of support takes time. It is best to get started now if you have not already done so,” added Henley.
We have a great website at www.cfuw-cranbrook.com that explains how and where to submit your nomination.
In previous years there was a nomina-tion form, but with the internet, we have done away with this. Nonetheless, if you have questions, do not hesitate to call Cathryn at 250-426-4804.

C r a n b r o o k Firefighters would like to take this opportu-nity to thank North Star Motors for their generous sponsorship of our 1st annual Fire Fighters Halloween Fall Bash that was held on October 26, 2013. A big thank you to everyone who attend-ed! We hope you had a great time.
We would like to thank Pacific Coastal Airlines, Bridge Interiors, Delamont Jewellers, Rick’s Fine Meats, Cranbrook Safeway and Kootenay Ice for their generous donations. And of course to all the local businesses who donat-
ed door prizes and silent auction items for our event. A special thank you goes out to the staff and manage-ment at the Columbo Lodge and B104 and the Drive radio sta-tions! Without every-one’s support and generosity, this event would not be possible and would not have been such a great suc-cess.
We are happy to announce that we have raised just over $7,000. This money will be split between Muscular Dystrophy and the B.C. Professional Firefighter’s Burn Fund.
Thank you everyone for your support!

Playing with the Fairies
If you promise not to tell, I will let you in on a secret. I am not one for following every trend or buying all the latest gadgets, fashions or toys. This Christmas, however, my pre-school aged daughter will get the latest and greatest in gardening: a fairy garden. She loves anything to do with fairies, and the thought of creat-ing a little home for them in our house will no doubt thrill her to no end.
Fairy gardening is a way of creating a magi-cal miniature garden in a container indoors or outside in a garden bed. You can let your imagination run wild when creating a make-believe landscape, turning pint-size plants into huge trees and colourful pebbles into a rock garden. By using accessories like benches, gaz-ing balls and fences you create an inviting and cozy place for fairies to rest. Who knows: if you build it, they might just come.
The first step is to find a theme for your fairy garden. Woodland themes - inspired by ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Tinkerbell’ - are the most popular. With ferns, mosses and wishing wells, clustered around a small cottage, they give a traditional look. There is no need to stop there. Your imagination can take you to different places altogether. How about a beach-themed garden with succulents, sand and umbrellas or a tropical paradise with a mass of plants, bark mulch paths and vines climbing up an arbour.
If you use a container, make sure it fits the theme you want to capture. A glazed pot in earth tones will fit a woodland theme perfectly. If you want to work with sand and succulents, a terracotta pot might be more suitable. Old-fashioned tea cups, galvanized pails and glass bowls are just some of the other vessels that might work for you. Ideally, the container will have good drainage and you should always use a layer of pebbles under some well-draining potting soil to ensure you can water and fertil-ize your plants properly.
One key to fairy gardening is to maintain the illusion of a miniature world by choosing ele-ments that will remain true to the tiny scale. You should avoid fast-growing plants, such as ivies or vines, because they can get out of hand and take over your quaint scene in no time. Instead, opt for delicate, slow-growing plants and those that can be pruned back when they do grow too large.
Some perfect groundcovers, imitating grass, are mosses and herbs such as thyme. Ferns and miniature conifers can provide that per-fect tree-like look and plants with a shrub-like growth, such as polka dot plants, imitate bushes. Lay out your plantings and then create the scene. Fine bark mulch, small pebbles and colourful sand can be used to create walking paths and glazed tiles or flat stones make a great patio.
When you have your landscape in place, it is time to put the finishing touches. Have a look around your home and see if you have any spe-cial items you want to incorporate. Maybe you have some pretty rocks you found on a walk or some small shells from your last beach vaca-tion? Old bird houses can make excellent fairy homes and a small clay pot, half buried on its side and covered in moss and ferns makes a great hobbit hole. There is a multitude of accessories available, from fences to rocking chairs, arbours and birdbaths. A sprinkle of fairy dust will bring it all together.
In our home, I think we will start with a small bowl, maybe a little coffee table and chairs and a few plants. My daughter, I am sure will add her own collection of pretty rocks and a liberal sprinkling of fairy dust. Come spring, we will take it outdoors and get creative there. Let the magic begin!
Till next time… happy fairy gardening.Submitted by Kerstin

Keep Your Holidays From Going Up in Flames!When most people think about the holidays, family festivities and good cheer likely come to mind. What few of us consider is that the holidays also present an increased risk of home � res. Home � res during the holiday season o� en involve cooking, Christmas trees, candles and holiday decorations. By taking some preventative steps and following simple rules of thumb, most home � res can be prevented during the holidays and beyond.For many great � re safety tips around Christmas trees, candles and holiday cooking, please visit our website. Have a � re safe and happy holiday season!
Tra� c Safety Is the Responsibility of All: Cranbrook RCMP Roadways are a very dynamic environment with situations and circumstances that can change quickly. � ere is great potential for injury and property damage if drivers are not obeying the rules of the road.Signs and signals such as school zones, stop, yield signs and tra� c lights are only a few tool used to assist drivers in keeping safe while they navigate City streets.

The annual Christmas Bird Count (CBC) – the longest-running Citizen Science survey in the world – will take place from December 14, 2013 to January 5, 2014. Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elkford and Fernie natu-ralists will join tens of thousands of volun-teers throughout North America braving winter weather to add a new layer to over a centu-ry of data. Individual Christmas Bird Counts occupying a single cal-endar day.
For many years, the Christmas Bird Count was organized at the continental scale by the National Audubon Society. Since 2000, Bird Studies Canada has partnered with Audubon to coordinate counts in Canada. Scientists rely on the remarkable trend data of the CBC to bet-ter understand how birds and the environment are faring throughout North America – and what needs to be done to pro-tect them. CBC results are at the heart of numer-ous peer-reviewed sci-entific studies.
“Each CBC volunteer observer is an impor-tant contributor, help-ing to shape the overall direction of bird con-servation,” says Dick Cannings, Bird Studies Canada’s Christmas Bird Count Coordinator.
The Christmas Bird Count began over a cen-tury ago when 27 con-servationists in 25 local-ities, led by scientist and writer Frank Chapman, changed the course of ornithological history. On Christmas Day in 1900, the small group suggested an alternative to the “side hunt,” in which teams competed to see who could shoot the most game, includ-ing birds. Instead, Chapman proposed that they identify, count, and record all the birds they saw. Now Binocular Brigades often brave winter’s chill, ice, and snow to record changes in resident populations before spring migrants return.
Counts are often fam-ily or community tra-ditions that make for fascinating stories. Accuracy is assured by having new partici-pants join an established group that includes at least one experienced birdwatcher. Count vol-unteers follow specified routes through a desig-nated 24-km diameter
circle, or can arrange in advance to count the birds at home feeders
inside the circle and submit the results to a designated compiler.

Kootenays please con-tact:

Things to See & Do
If you have a Hug or a Slug...we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at [email protected] 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
Hugs: To the woman visiting her friend in room 214 Cranbrook Hospital and said a healing prayer for me, a complete stranger. I don’t have a lot of kindness in my life - what you did meant so much.
Hugs: I’d like to send out a big hug to the person who was in front of me at the Tim Horton’s drive-through who bought my coffee. It was a very nice random act of kindness that started my day in the best of ways.
Hugs: A big hug goes to Linda at Home Depot. Thank you for your outstanding customer service!!
Hugs: To Wendy from Langley, helped me out when my van had problems the other day when I was on the strip. She went and got me gas for my van, didn’t want any payment, what a great person!! Also, hugs to the police officer that parked behind me to make sure there were no issues with other vehicles.
Hugs: To the 10 year old and all the people who attended her party at the bowling alley, for making donations to the SPCA rather than gifts.
Hugs: Thank you to the three guys in the white van that pushed the pickup around the corner near Kal Tire last Friday. It’s nice to see people helping without been asked. You make the world a better place. Thank you.
Hugs: To all the patient, polite & respective people in vehicle’s & stores all year, but especially at this time when everyone is overloaded with the season, Merry Christmas! Lets spread the joy!!
Slugs: To the people that rob thrift stores - by shoplifting, switching price tags and returning goods with missing or broken parts. Most items are priced well below value and proceeds are intended to help the poorest people in society. Shame on you.
Hugs: to Richard at the Husky diner. He makes going there such a pleasant experience and because of him and the great food. It’s now our favorite restaurant.
Hugs: To the two men who came to my house to fix my garage door opener, they weren’t sure if it would work so they didn’t charge me. Thanks!
Hugs: To all who work at the Green home for their care and comfort of residents and their families.
Hugs: to the recreation department and all the volunteers for their dedicated entertainment for the residents.
Hugs: To the staff at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for the daunting task of repairing our back roads and bridges devastated by spring floods. There was much devastation and a lot of work putting it back together. For those who have not driven the White River Road, next summer, check it out and see how much work was done just in a few short months. Thanks FLNRO staff. Hugs: To the staff at the Heritage Inn. In the midst of preparing a hot turkey lunch for 150 members of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary, the power went out just before 10 AM and came on 4 hours later. Quick as a flash staff changed modes from hot lunch to salads and cold plate, served it all on time and by candlelight no less. Just prior to eating my meal, I gave thanks to the wonderful Heritage Inn staff who showed the true qualities of the Spirit of Christmas.
Hugs: To whoever decorated the tree in the Community forest, what an enjoyable site when the lights come on—you have to see it to believe it makes the season!!!
School Districts 5 and 6 invite families throughout the East Kootenay to host one or two international students starting in February. Most students are from Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Japan, will be studying in Grades 8 to 12, and will be staying for one semester until June. We encourage empty-nester parents or any family to consider hosting two students from different countries. Such double placements are consist-ently very successful. Host families receive a tax-free allowance each month per student, and weekend and/or vacation coverage is available.
. School Districts 5 and 6 Southeast Kootenay and Rocky Mountain
Host an International Student!

Every year, Cranbrook McDonald’s Restaurant and the Cranbrook Fire Department team up and choose a child (or two!) from the commu-nity to be an honorary Fire Chief for the Day in an effort to promote fire awareness and safety in a fun way. On December 4th we celebrated our Fire Chief for the Day contest winners Tanner
Eckersley, age 8, and Sam Nakahara, also 8, who both attend Gordon Terrace Elementary School. The Cranbrook firefighters spent time in their classroom, answering questions and promoting fire safety. Tanner and Sam also got to travel to McDonald’s for lunch in the fire truck!

Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and Cranbrook native Scott Niedermayer will be in Cranbrook at Western Financial Place on Friday December 27, 2013 as the City of Cranbrook honours the NHL great with the unveiling of a bronze
plaque commemorating his illustrious hockey career.
The plaque will be unveiled at ice level ahead of the Kootenay Ice home game against the visiting Spokane Chiefs starting at 7 p.m. Scott Niedermayer is expected to participate in a ceremonial puck drop at centre ice.
“Scott and Rob Niedermayer are two of Cranbrook’s best known and most respected citizens,” said Wayne Stetski, Mayor of the City of Cranbrook. “While both are incred-ible athletes, Scott is the only player in hockey history to win every North American and international champi-onship available to a Canadian player, includ-ing the Stanley Cup, the World Championship, an Olympic gold medal, the World Junior Championship and the World Cup of Hockey, truly an amazing leg-acy!”
For tickets to the game, please call the Kootenay Ice office at 250-417-0322. Kootenay Ice office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

BC Employment receivescomplaint against Fernie’s Tim Hortons
By Tamara HyndFernie Free Press
A complaint has been filed with B.C. Employment Standards Branch against the owner of Fernie Tim Hortons by former employ-ees Richard Pepito and Heidi Kibanoff. The couple was hired under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program by Pierre Pelletier, owner of the Fernie and Crowsnest Pass fran-chises. Allegations include Pelletier making employ-ees pay back a portion their overtime wages to him in cash. Pelletier is also accused of charg-ing employees the processing fees for renewing their temporary work permits, which according to regulations, the employer is responsible for paying.
“We’re reviewing the allegations and can say
that we are treating the matter seriously and are currently conducting a review in full cooperation with B.C. Employment Standards,” commented Tim Horton’s Public Affairs Manager, Olga Petryci.
The East Kootenay Labour Council is assisting the couple with the case. Alex Hanson, executive for the Council said, “We were told they weren’t getting over-time on their regular paycheck. The employer would pay their overtime on a separate cheque, drive them to the bank to cash it, then ask for some of the cash back telling them it was for their own good.The problem is the employers have too much power over their employees,” said Hanson. “They come here to obtain a better life and the employer is the gatekeeper. “The Labour Council is not going away until the owner makes it right.”
David Currie, Public Affairs Officer Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour said “There is an open complaint against the Tim Hortons in Fernie. However under the Employment Standards Act the ministry does not comment on open Employment Standards complaints.” Worker’s complaints made to the Employment Standards Branch can go through the four routes of resolution, mediation, adjudication and/or penalty. Pepito and Kibanoff’s case is scheduled to go before an adjudicator on Feb. 13, 2014 in Kelowna. At that time, penalties may or may not be levied. “We have been cooperating since the allega-tions have come up and are continuing to fully cooperate with B.C. Employment Standards,” said Kristine Hovind–Pelletier, Pierre Pelletier’s wife in a statement to The Free Press.

A father and his three chil-dren under the age of 10 are recovering from their injuries after a traffic accident thanks to the quick assistance of a Fernie man on Sunday, Dec. 1. A family of five was travelling eastbound returning home to Coaldale, Alberta when their vehicle left Highway 3, plunging into an arm of the Elk River. The vehicle, a white Chevrolet minivan, came to rest upside down in the water. A passing motorist and his girlfriend went down into the river and rescued all five occu-pants from the mini-van. At approximately 2:30 p.m., Elk Valley RCMP from Fernie and East Kootenay Traffic Services (EKTS) responded to the colli-sion on Highway 3 about eight km west of Fernie known as Vanghal’s straight stretch. “Witnesses at the scene and RCMP members engaged in CPR on the female passenger but tragically, she was pronounced dead at the Fernie Hospital,” said Elk Valley RCMP. “RCMP members and a travel-ing physician managed to revive the four-year-old child by con-
ducting CPR. The male driver and one of his children were treated at Sparwood Hospital with minor injuries including hypothermia. The other two children were transported to Alberta Children’s Hospital by air ambulance with severe injuries.” The Fernie man who helped rescue the family was treated for hypothermia and released. RCMP is in contact with the young man who is asking for his privacy. Sgt. Don Erichsen comment-ed on the Fernie man’s heroic actions. “It’s an extremely traumatic situ-ation and he risked his own life to help. One person did die and when you stand that close to death that’s a large cross for any one to bear. He is asking for pri-vacy at this time.” Road conditions at the time of the collision were slushy on the center of the roadway way due to an overnight snowfall. In the initial investigation, it appears that the minivan may have been attempting a pass and lost control on the slushy center area of the straight stretch of roadway. An investigation into the colli-sion is continuing.

Frank Besinger, Director of Planning, Engineering & Operations for Crowsnest Pass announced his retire-ment on Friday, Dec. 6. Besinger said he would stay on with the municipality until the end of March 2014 to see some of the municipality’s major projects through. “I want to stay through
the process for recruiting and help someone into the role,” he told The Free Press. He said he also believes his experience and knowledge will be helpful during the 2014 budget discussions as well as seeing the Disaster Flood Recovery Program underway to ensure work is done before next spring’s runoff. Besinger has land in the Valleyview area, east of Grande Prairie. The land has
been leased out for the past few years, but Besinger said he’s looking forward to liv-ing there and relaxing after many years of working. Besinger started with the municipality in February 2012. Besinger’s resignation follows on the heels of the Chief Administrative Officer, Myron Thompson, who is leaving his position shortly before Christmas.

Student elected mayor
By Joni MacFarlaneEditor
The fourth candidate for federal representation of the Macleod riding believes his experience and community involvement will give him an edge as Ottawa’s representative. John Barlow who cur-rently works as the associ-ate publisher and editor of the Okotoks-based Western Wheel newspaper, announced his intention to seek the Conservative Party’s nomina-tion for the federal riding of Macleod with the retirement of current MP Ted Menzies. Barlow’s previous political foray into politics was in 2012 when he ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the Highwood constituency. He ran against Danielle Smith, leader of the Wildrose Party, finishing second. “It definitely gave me some vital knowledge into how the election process works, but I think the most important part was the connections and the networks I was able to develop through that process,” he said. “I had phenomenal response, and even though I wasn’t successful, we had some outstanding support and that support comes to the forefront with this campaign.” Barlow said he’s chosen now to run at the federal level because he sees issues that need to be addressed. “I think I have the skill set and the experience to be a strong voice in Ottawa but I want to make sure some things I’ve seen through the provincial process, through my work as a journal-ist, get done,” he said.
“First and foremost I want to make sure that southern Alberta isn’t for-gotten in terms of flood recovery and flood mitigation,” said Barlow. “I want to make sure that in Ottawa funding is still available to complete some of these recovery projects.” Barlow also sees issues in the agri-
culture industry in terms of supply-management and ensuring access to new markets. “I want to eliminate some of the obstacles for getting our value-added products to international markets,” he said. Another area Barlow wants addressed is streamlined access to the temporary foreign worker process so industries who rely on the program have easier access. As a journalist, Barlow also believes his experience gives him a good skill set.“I’ve been a strong voice for my com-
munity for 20-some years, so I’m just going to take this to a different plat-form. I’ve built my reputation on integ-rity. I firmly believe I have a strong reputation in my area.” “As a journalist, you have your finger on the pulse of your community, you know what the issues are, you know
who the sources are,” said Barlow. “I’ve built some very strong net-works of sources and at all levels of govern-ments... When I get to that point I’ll know who to contact and I’ll have relationships with those key people already in place.” Barlow said he admired Ted Menzies and the impact he made in Ottawa. “He showed with a strong work ethic and strong character, he built himself up to the Minister,” he said. “It just goes to prove that if you’re dedicated and committed, you can have an impact and
that’s exactly what I intend to do.” Barlow grew up in Saskatchewan and has been in Alberta for about 25 years first in High River where he worked for the High River Times and currently in Okotoks. He is married with three chil-dren ages 15, 20 and 22. There are currently four candidates seeking the Conservative nomination for Macleod. A by-election must be held within six months of outgoing MP Ted Menzies announcement to retire. At this point, the date of the by-election hasn’t been set.

My name is Nathan Milford and I am in Grade six at Isabelle Sellon School.This year as part of Social Studies, each grade six class held elections at the same time as the Crowsnest Pass Municipal elections.I ran for mayor in our class and our town’s name is Riverstone.We went to the voting station and saw what happened while people came and got their ballots.I was elected mayor of Riverstone and four of my classmates, Kennedy, Kyler, Alan, and Alice were elected as councillors by my classmates.Since then, we have had a town hall meeting and five council meet-ings.We have had to make decisions about building a resort that costs $1,295,240 in our town and wheth-
er to evacuate to get at the oil under our town.We had three council meet-ings and voted on three by-laws meant to keep our citizens safe.I have enjoyed this activity in our class, it has taught me a lot about running a town and how government works.On Dec. 3, I went to a municipal council meeting and got to see firsthand how our municipal council works. They go through a lot of information before making decisions.After the meeting I was addressed by Mayor Blair Painter and got a picture taken with Mayor Painter and the councillors. I shook hands with council and got a pin.
Grade 6 student Nathan Milford was elected Mayor of the town of Riverstone and has been involved in high-level decisions having significant ramifications. The elections were held in conjunction with those of the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass.

Once again, Crowsnest Pass has shown what it can do when it works together for the good of the community. Although it’s not a slam-dunk, advancing to the semi-finals in a contest that would give money to the Pass Powderkeg Ski Hill is a coup we should all be proud of. The contest includes so many worthwhile causes - helping children, seniors, wildlife - I’m glad I’m not one of the judges deciding who wins and who doesn’t. But getting this far sends a clear signal that residents and others who believe in the potential of the Crowsnest Pass can come together to help the community. What a chair lift would do for the Pass Powderkeg is immeasurable. Striving to be one of Alberta’s best family ski resorts, the hill offers local youth and families an opportunity to stay active and socialize in the great outdoors. Researchers have shown a demonstrable link between physical activity and children’s performance in school. Then there’s our burgeoning tendency towards obesity with almost a third of Canadians aged five to 17 classified as overweight or obese, according to Statistics Canada. This is a real public health concern given the tendency for excess weight in childhood to persist through to adulthood. Having an affordable ski hill on our doorstep is one more reason to get out and get physical – for all of us. As a facility geared towards families and youth, the Pass Powderkeg is a wonderful opportunity to learn the sport of skiing and snowboarding, to make new friends, and to enjoy those long winter months – all at a reasonable cost. Voting closed on Dec. 11 and the finalist ideas will be announced on Jan. 28. There are so many organizations, groups and individuals in the Crowsnest Pass who give of their resources and time, it is truly inspiring to see the generosity of a community working together to help us become better. Kudos to all of you.

Man still missingfrom Pincher Creek
By Joni MacFarlaneEditor
Pincher Creek RCMP said the ground search for missing 22-year-old Taylor Elliott has been called off. On Friday, Dec. 6, police said that until the ground cover chang-es or until further clues come up, the search has come to an end. Elliott disappeared on foot without a trace in the early morn-ing hours of Sunday, Dec. 1 just as a snow storm warning enveloped southern Alberta. Since then, the area has been plagued with extreme temperatures and severe wind with blowing snow. Pincher Creek Search and Rescue were joined by members from the Calgary Search and Rescue team, Southeastern Alberta Search and Rescue from Medicine Hat and Lethbridge Area Search and Rescue. On Friday, crews conducted grid searches on foot in areas north and
west of Pincher Creek. RCMP police dogs were also called in to assist in the search as well as Alberta’s RCMP helicopter. While the Pincher Creek RCMP have suspended the ground search, family and friends are still out looking for him. Their search effort is based at the Pincher Creek Golf Course Club House. A website and Facebook page have been started to help raise awareness and assist with the search. Elliott is described as 6-feet tall weighing 190 pounds with dark hair and a full beard. He was last seen wearing a tan Carhartt jacket, blue jeans, a dark hoodie and carrying a medium-sized grey camouflaged backpack and a .270 rifle. Anyone with information on Elliott’s whereabouts is asked to call the RCMP Pincher Creek detachment at 403-627-6000.
Twenty-two-year-old Taylor Elliott has been missing from the Pincher Creek area since Sunday, Dec. 1. Any-one with any information on his whereabouts is asked to contact RCMP.

Press Release
Riversdale Resources Limited (Riversdale) would like to inform the community that it will be commenc-ing drilling operations on its Grassy Mountain Project, approximately six kilometres north of Blairmore, start-ing the week of Dec. 9. This is an exciting milestone for the Grassy Mountain Project and marks the commencement of ground based activities under Riversdale owner-ship. The initial drill program involves the drilling of 15 to 20 holes and is expected to take about three months. This will be followed in 2014 with a more extensive drilling program and other ground based activities. Throughout this program, there will be heavy trucks and other large equipment on both the road access to the project known as the Grassy Mountain Road and across the Grassy Mountain Project area. The use of larger equipment increases the risk of incidents involv-ing vehicles travelling on the Grassy Mountain Road and the project area.
To ensure the community is fully informed of the location of activities, Riversdale has placed signs along the Grassy Mountain Road indicating where they are taking place. In the interests of the safety of the commu-nity and the employees/contractors of Riversdale, we ask that the com-munity limit the use of the Grassy Mountain Road where possible so as to reduce the risk of incident. A safety person will be monitoring the Grassy Mountain trail to advise users of the current activity as it hap-pens. Should there be a need to use the access road, we ask that speed be reduced and extra caution be taken. As the activities on the project ramp up in 2014, Riversdale may imple-ment additional safety controls on and near the project area to further manage the risk of incidents between the community, recreational users and Riversdale’s activities. Riversdale will keep the community informed at all times. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact Riversdale either at the Blairmore Office (12331-20th Ave.) or call (403) 753 5160.
Public advised to use caution near Grassy Mountain Mine project

For the second time so far in this council’s term, the position of Human Resources Administrator was deferred. At the Dec. 3 council meeting, Chief Administrative Officer Myron Thompson brought the issue to the table with a recommendation that the position be reincorporated into the municipality’s organizational structure so that it could be filled in the new year. Hiring a human resources administra-tor was highlighted in both the recently completed municipal inspection conduct-ed by the province and the recently com-pleted Workplace Assessment initiated
by the union representing municipal staff. Twenty-five per cent of that report’s recommendations were dependent upon the position. A letter of support from the union accompanied Thompson’s recom-mendation. In the past, a Director position report-ing to the CAO was in place but this position was cut from the organizational structure along with the HR Clerk in 2012, said Thompson.Several councillors offered their opinion that although they support the addition of an HR person, they believe the incom-ing Chief Administrative Officer should undertake it. “I don’t feel we should be making any changes to the organizational structure
until we have a new CAO in place. We need to bring that person in and take a look at what we’ve got, what our needs are, and have it brought back to council,” said Councillor Dean Ward. “I don’t think we should build that person’s team.” “As much as I know there’s a need for this person and believe me, I do, I do have to agree with Councillor Ward,” said Councillor Dave Filipuzzi. “I think because of [Thompson] leaving and the challenges facing a new CAO, we should start there and see what his direction is and get his feel on it too.” A motion to leave the organizational structure as is until a new CAO was in place was carried.

gas line on the back of the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Blairmore. Nineteen responders were called out. Three engines were staged on two corners and a third was staged on the rear due to the size of the building. There were no injuries.

Printer 101 from Mountain InkWhat is HP Cartridge Protection? If you’ve purchased an HP Printer, you might notice that the printer won’t allow you to install your compatible and remanufactured cartridge. Is HP trying to block you from using these supplies? Not exactly. On the new HP printers, HP introduced a Cartridge Protection feature that is designed to protect against counterfeit products pos-ing as genuine HP supplies. Unfortunately, it often has the side effect of blocking less expensive compatible and remanufactured supplies. We’ll show you how to dis-able it with a few simple steps.What is it? HP’s Cartridge Protection feature first started appear-ing with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600; it soon began appearing in the Photosmart 5520 series, among others. As we said, it is designed as a protection against coun-terfeit products masquerading as Genuine HP products. This system will alert users that the cartridge is not genuine, and
it will also block the cartridge from being used. This is good news for identifying counter-feits. However, it’s an aggravation for users who are blocked from using their legitimate remanu-factured and compatible ink cartridges. We’ve covered the many benefits of remanufac-tured ink cartridges before, and for buyers looking to save money, this can be a real prob-lem.Disabling Cartridge Protection When trying to use remanu-factured ink cartridges with these models, the best solu-tion is to disable Cartridge Protection. If you later wish to verify that a cartridge labeled as a Genuine HP product is actually genuine, you can always re-enable the feature. Here are the steps.1. Click the Start button, and click Devices and Printers.2. Find your HP printer in the list and double-click it to open the Settings page.3. Click the text for Estimated Ink Levels under the heading of Shopping Resources. This will open the HP Toolbox win-dow.
4. Click the tab for Cartridge Protection.5. Click the radio button next to Disable HP Cartridge Protection.6. Click the Save Setting but-ton to save your new setting. Then, close the window.7. You may need to remove and reinstall the cartridge for it to be recognized properly.Disabling Cartridge Protection on a Network Printer If your printer is connect-ed via network, rather than a USB port, you can still disable the feature, just follow these steps:1. Click the Start button, and click Devices and Printers.2. Find your HP printer in the list and right-click it, then look for the IP address in the Location field.3. Copy and paste the IP address into your web browser and hit Enter. The embedded web server for your printer should open, with several options to change.4. Click the Settings tab at the top, then click Cartridge Protection in the left column.5. Click the radio but-
ton next to Disable Cartridge Protection, and click Apply. You can now close the browser.6. You may need to remove and reinstall the cartridge for it to be recognized properly. While the HP Cartridge Protection setting is useful for identifying counterfeit printer supplies, it goes a bit too far in blocking users trying to save money with remanufac-tured and compatible supplies. Luckily, you can disable the setting using the steps above, and if you ever suspect you have a counterfeit supply, just re-enable the setting in order to test it properly.

If you plan to visit the Backcountry and take part in snowmobile or quadding activ-ities, please be sure to pack for the climate and terrain. Plan ahead, plan your routes and let someone know where you will be or the general area of your trip. Below are some of the items that you should pack along for the ride.* Global Positioning System (GPS)* Shovel* Map of the area* Compass* Extra Gloves and Socks * Flashlight with spare batteries* Hand and Foot Warmers* Emergency Blanket/Shelter * Knife* Rope* Small tool kit if your machine
is not equipped* Food and Water (energy bars, chocolate, dried fruit, nuts.)* First Aid Kit* Water Proof matches and fire starter If you are heading to Avalanche prone areas, check with www.avalanche.ca for details before you head out.Winter Driving After a nice spring and sum-mer of paved roads, it’s time again for the winter season. This means have you winter tires installed on your vehicles and drive with caution. Winter tires should have the snow flake symbol on the side wall and can also be studded. Slow down further in advance for intersections or stop signs, give extra room between you and the vehicle in front and behind in case any of you have to stop in a hurry.
Carry emergency equipment in your vehicle such as a cell phone, an emergency candle, blankets, booster cables, and flashlight, tow strap or tow rope. If you have troubles on the road, stay with your vehi-cle, do not wonder off to look for help. Road Closures Early into this winter season, we have had two road closures due to heavy snowfall and gusting winds. These events make whiteout conditions on the highway and travelling unsafe. Under the direction of the Minister of Transportation who orders the road closure, Crowsnest Pass Fire/Rescue supports the Minister by pro-viding personnel and equip-ment to man the closure gate and control traffic within the Crowsnest Pass. If we have weather events
starting in our area, please log onto www.crowsnest-pass.com and look for the road closure information or updates on possible road clo-sures. Early warning can give resi-dents on the other side of the gates able to have children picked up from school and get home before the closure happens. Designated parking has been established with large trucks without Dangerous Goods able to park on 20th Avenue from the Lost Lemmon Bridge to Tim Horton’s and also utilizing 107 Street by the old hospital site working back towards Tim Horton’s. Trucks haul-ing Dangerous Goods are instructed to stage at the large parking lot in Frank or back to the Burmis Scales.

Let’s take a look back at our heritage in the Crowsnest Pass. Just from memories and writ-ten histories, I want to capsulize some events known to me. In no way would I consider this writing as accurate as historians would validate. The early days saw North American Indians travel the trails over hill and vale and some travel by canoe and water. Saddle horse and wagon, bug-gies, sleighs were at one time the only way to travel. Trails are still evident, artifacts continually show up and Histories are con-tinually talked of and enjoyed immensely. As settlers came to discover the Pass and to seek out its treasures, the coal seams became evident and bountiful and also became exploited for household heat and cooking became easier and acceptable in all homes by the use of coal for fuel. How wonderful it was in the cold of winter to shanty up backwards to the old coal stoves and potbel-lied heaters and absorb a type of heat on the hands and posterior that those old stoves would ema-nate. Oh Glory. Coal became so popular each town saw a coal mine or two come into operation and pros-perity became the order of the day. People of almost every country emerged to seek out a living and then sent for their wives and children to join them in their good fortune. Along with this infusion of peoples came the desire to rec-ognize God the Father and Jesus Christ as their source of their quality of life they were used to and their desire to continue their spiritual life. Without fail one of the first buildings to be erected was the local church in each of the towns.
Customarily as today each town saw churches of various denominations arise and flour-ish – Awesome! Each church in those days would have a won-derful choir, great singers and great old hymns would grace the congregations. The spirit of the church was strong and vibrant. The spirit of the coal miners was also strong in the area of “care and concern” for each per-son that went underground. This spirit permeated through all the families which also were made up of all nationalities and color and the mining peoples cared for each other. The mines also had their times of tragedies, with the explosions causing much loss of life and the aftermath of that resulted in numerous widows being left to raise families. The “care and concern” spirit had a lot to do with the abilities and faithful friends helping in the raising of families “Praise the Lord”. Modernization finally saw the closing of our mines and mul-titudes left the area. During the prosperous days of the mines 18 churches in the Pass saw a reasonable success and congre-gations flourished. And then the days of the exodus of much of what we call the older clan, the miners, the lumberman came into being. Our churches also suffered a decline and now there remains only eight organized congregations in the Pass. This situation has become of great concern to some of us here in Bellevue and we have now registered a body of believ-ers known as “Kingdom First Ministry and Fellowship”. This group will be under the direction of Pastor’s Ray & Donna Block and Pastor Bill White. Services will take place at the Internationale Prayer Centre in Bellevue, regularly on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. and a Wednesday Fellowship night at
7 p.m.e will be available for Christian Counseling
· We will be available to perform weddings
· We will be available to offer funeral services
· We will do hospital visitation regularly
· Children’s Sunday school will be available as the demand war-rants
· We are vitally con-cerned for youth and teenager activities here and in association with others
· Community outreach activities will be forth-coming continually
· Doctrinal statements are available
We are anxious to serve you. You’ll be glad you came. Be a participant and not an onlooker. The Internationale Prayer Centre has been operating in Bellevue for more than 30 years under the guidance and author-ity of Prayer Canada. We have represented Canada in Jerusalem at a World Convocation of Prayer where 160 Nations of the World attended. Awesome! We have also toured Canada, being on the road 35 days and visiting 60 Prayer stations and churches. We also visited Bible Colleges in Western Canada for several years addressing students meet-ings and general public. Watch for our Open House activity at the Prayer Centre very soon. We are so anxious to serve you here in the Pass and simple say, Come One, Come All. Put us to the test and together we will truly be able to call this – A Homecoming.

“I’ll do it tomorrow is a common refrain. (And tomor-row never comes, we all know that.) I kept saying it, about getting my health in order, getting my weight in check and before I knew it......60 pounds had crept onto my body! Where the heck did that fat come from? I wasn’t eating junk food, in fact, I was hardly eating! I was working 14 hours plus everyday, so when did I have time to sit down to eat? I would start my day with a bowl of cereal, or a slice of toast and run out the door making sure my fam-ily was looked after, then off to my salons to make sure my staff and clients were looked after....never looking
after me! Dinner might be a salad, an apple and a piece of cheese. On days off, I would eat normally, and sometimes overeat. Finally my body ran out of fuel and collapsed, and then I had to pay attention. Eating only a few calories a day, I thought it was enough to keep me going and I thought should have kept me thin. It actually did the opposite. In order for the body to run at full capacity it needs a minimum amount of protein per pound for that particular body, a minimum amount of carbohydrates, at least four cups of vegetables and let-tuces each day and a fruit serving. My body was stor-ing everything I ate into fat because it was in starvation mode. So many of our foods today are filled with hidden sugars
that we don’t even realize that we are eating three-quarters of a small freezer bag size of sugar everyday. Think about it - bread, yogurt, soups, dressings, milk, ice cream, cakes, cookies, can-dies, gum, canned goods, kids treats and the list goes on. Label reading is some-thing I teach at Changes. My clients are surprised to find they thought they were read-ing labels correctly and found out otherwise. An interesting study has found that a child obesity epi-demic is on the rise. We can change this by changing our health. Check in next week for more healthy tips from Changes. Changes is owned and oper-ated by Linda Germo.

CHEF DEZ ON COOKING Culinary Stocking
Stuffer IdeasBeing a man, I am sometimes mistakenly slotted into the stereo-
type of a last minute shopper. Nothing could be further than the truth. Hurriedly pushing my way through the crowds at the mall on December 24th is not how I want to spend the eve before Christ-mas. Therefore to help you avoid this ordeal I am offering you some stocking stuffer ideas for the hobby chef on your list.
Zester - This is a hand tool that removes the aromatic coloured segment of the peel from citrus fruits while leaving the white bitter pith part on the fruit. Great for adding extra citrus flavour to almost any recipe, or to enhance garnishing presentation.
Mini Whisk – Approximately the same size of a ball point pen. It always comes in handy for small whisking applications like mix-ing individual drinks, beating one egg, or small amounts of sauce. I have even seen ones that are attached to a key chain hoop.
Melon Baller – Great for its intended purpose of creating bite-size balls of melon, but works just as well on cheeses and an assortment of fruits and vegetables. Caramelized balls of potato, for example, makes for an appealing side dish.
Olive Pitter – This tool resembles a pair of spring-loaded pliers. It has a circular base to hold an olive on one of the ends, and a prod on the other. When squeezed together, the prod inserts into the olive and pushes the pit through the opposite side. It works great on cher-ries too.
Garlic Press – I have gone through many poorly made garlic press-es in the past, but there is one brand that has never let me down. I highly recommend the Switzerland made “Zyliss” brand. I have literally crushed hundreds of cloves with this brand, for the past five years, with out fail.
Apple Corer – Simply push this tubular tool through the center of an apple or pear, and proceed with slicing… or eating.
Butcher’s Twine – Not only great for trussing stuffed turkeys, but also for chickens and a variety of stuffed roasts, meats, and seafood too.
Silicone Spatula – Silicone kitchen tools like spatulas and bowl scrapers are great because they can withstand high heat tempera-tures and they are very flexible. Fantastic for omelets, where ones made of rubber or plastic would melt in the hot pan.
Dough Scraper – A flat-edged tool that easily scrapes dough or flour together on the counter. They are available in metal or plastic. Great for anyone that likes to bake.
Lemon Reamer – A wooden hand held tool to efficiently juice lem-ons or limes.
I hope this helps relieve some of your shopping burdens. The
kitchen section of department stores and smaller specialty stores are filled with many great gift ideas – who knows, you may even run into me!
Dear Chef Dez:I noticed that many Chefs on TV use a flat grater that lays across
a bowl to remove zest from citrus fruits. Is the best way to do this?Charlotte E.Surrey, BC
Dear Charlotte:I actually recommend using a “zester”. It is a hand tool that has
five little circular blades at the end. When it is dragged across a cit-rus fruit, it produces beautiful curls of zest while leaving the bitter pith behind. Although flat graters remove the zest in small bits, and thus prevent further chopping, there is no guarantee that one will not grate too far into the bitter white pith. Besides, the curls of zest make great garnish!
