Crowsnest dropsRanchlandannexation plans By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A plan to annex about one-third of a neigh-bouring municipality has been abandoned.Last summer, the previous council of Crows-nest Pass filed an official notice with the prov-ince to annex 57,465 hectares – or 887-quarter sections – of M.D. of Ranchland southward from the Maycroft bridge. They had also requested Ranchland pay $200,000 per year for five years to Crowsnest Pass to help pay for the cost of servicing the area. The move was precipitated by the renewed interest in coal development north of the Crowsnest Pass boundaries. The council of the day said it would assist them with linear assessments and provide a much-needed in-dustrial tax base. Annexation was firmly rejected by Ranch-land who said they were prepared to fight to the bitter end against the attempt. Crowsnest Pass council said they met recent-ly with members of Ranchland council and on Aug. 12, they voted to withdraw the Notice of Intention to annex. Mayor Blair Painter emphasized that the previous council wanted to take one-third of Ranchland’s area. “It was a real slap in the face to them... they weren’t very happy,” said Mayor Painter. “So they felt that it was a step in the right direc-tion for us to... get together with them, talk about it, and they were very, very pleased that we would consider other methods rather than annexing.” Councillor Dean Ward said annexation is intended for development purposes. “I’ve always been a big believer that we get our own house in order, we shouldn’t expect someone else to bail us out,” said Councillor Dean Ward. “If you look at the history of an-nexations in Alberta, they typically happen where communities are growing, not where communities are looking for a tax grab and that’s basically what this was.”

Annexation plans dropped by Crowsnest PassFrom page 1...

Sheldon Steinke, chief administra-tive officer, added that when a munici-pality proposes an-

nexation, they must have reasons for it beyond taxes. “The issue boils down to their land mass and can they develop within their land mass. Can they develop the deep services and the streets and roads within their munici-pality any more be-

cause their population has built up and their in-frastructure built up to the point

they have to expand to make it eco-n o m i c a l l y viable,” he said. “That would be very difficult for the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass to make that argument in an annexation case...

“That would be the biggest difficulty for the municipality to defend that. “So the alternate is, let’s step back from the Notice of Intention and let’s

look at negotiating other things that may be of mutual interest to both m u n i c i p a l i t i e s . ” No formal dis-cussions have taken place regarding oth-

er options, nor have any commitments been made other than removing the Notice of Intent and keeping communica-tions open, added Mayor Painter.

“It was a real slap in the face to [M.D. of Ranch-land]... They were very, very pleased that we would consider other methods rather than an-nexing.”

Mayor Blair Painter

Alberta Transportation installed signs on both the east and west sides of Highway 3 shortly before the Highway 22 interchange advising motorists of high wind speeds. Flashing lights will alert when winds exceed dangerous levels.


Crowsnest Pass municipal officials have scuttled plans to annex one-third of the land mass of its neighbour to the north, M.D. of Ranchland. Last year, a for-mal Notice of Intention to Annex was filed with the province by the previous council after coal exploration heated up north of its boundaries.

Riversdale ahead of schedule, concerned over trespassing

Fire Chief Jamie Wilkinson took the Fireman’s Cold Water Challenge on Aug. 12 after being challenged by the Charlie Lake fire department. Using the deck gun atop a fire truck, crew members sprayed over 1,000 gallons of cold water directly at Wilkinson. Afterwards, he issued the same challenge to Taber’s new fire chief, Steve Munshaw.


By Joni MacFarlane Editor

With upwards of 20 or more people working on the project and spending a large amount of money in the area, Riversdale Resources announced they are currently several months ahead of schedule. Operations Manager Peter Murray and Community Liaison Keith Bott presented an update to council on Aug. 12 with both good news and a plea to recreationists to heed safety concerns. “We’re fairly busy at the moment, moving forward as fast we can and pretty much six to seven months ahead of schedule,” said Murray. “So things have been flowing nicely.” Currently, there are two drilling com-panies on site, drilling 30 wells, “a com-bination of core holes for pit stabiliza-tion as well as looking to see where the coal seams drop off and disappear,” he said. An indication of the coal quality re-mains high, he added. Murray said there have been about 20 people working over the past six months and many more expected over the winter. These include environmen-tal scientists, conducting soil and water studies as well as wildlife studies. Riversdale has placed cameras on both private and Crown land looking for wildlife and is also working in con-junction with BearSmart, said Murray, monitoring and recording bear-rubbed trees. “There’s a lot of ac-tivity up in the back-country,” he said. A noise study was also done in Blairmore, Murray said, as well as studies begun to assess potential locations of rail load-outs, railway lines, conveyor sys-tems, wash plants and other stations. Murray said it was too early to talk in

detail about this, but expects to have more information within the next two to three months. Government approvals are also un-derway and Riversdale is getting good cooperation from all applicable agen-cies, he said. Regarding the MD of Ranchland, Murray said at this stage, they are pro-viding updates as they progress but they’ve not actively asked for assis-tance. “We’re pretty independent. We want to keep moving the way we’re going,” he said. “We find that the way we’re go-ing is working quite well, so as we move along, obviously, they’ll be a lot more involved.” To date, Riversdale has spent about $1.5 million in the Crowsnest Pass area, said Murray, with a current average of about $2,000 to $3,000 per day. They’ve spent just over $6M in Canada so far, and have a budget this year of $9.5M. Murray said Riversdale is looking to expand its workforce in the Pass over the next six months and has started to look for field Health & Safety contrac-tors. Bott said Riversdale held an open house in May and has had several re-quests for updates from other commu-nities. The first site visit with five Treaty 7 First Nations has been completed and the second stage is underway where tra-ditional land uses will be reviewed. This is mainly on Crown land, he added.

A recurring concern for Riversdale deals with security issues, said Bott. Signs have been put up on the top third of the area stating no trespass-ing, private property and no hunting, he said, and gates have been installed at several locations. Despite these precautions, ATVs and dirt bikes are riding around the prop-erty. There have been two incidents that may have resulted in serious injury. One occurred over the August long weekend between a motorbike and a vehicle and another close call occurred last winter between a snowmobile and a vehicle. “There was certainly a potential for a collision,” said Bott. “It is something that we have to be concerned about. We don’t want any accidents, we don’t want someone to get hurt and something’s going to have to be done about it.” Murray agreed and said there were several safety concerns. “We want the community to take charge of their children and ask them to go to another spot. There’s plenty of places,” said Murray. “We’ve taken a lot of time and we’ve spent a lot of money putting up signs and gates and things. We don’t want anyone to get hurt. We haven’t had an incident where anyone’s got hurt to date but… we have a hor-rible feeling that it’s going to be one of the public and one of our vehicles and that’s a worry for us.” “We need the town behind us a little bit better.”

Last week, Crowsnest Pass municipal council an-nounced they were abandoning plans to annex a large portion of the M.D. of Ranchland. Although annexation is not uncommon in Alber-ta (170 have been processed since 1995), it usually occurs because growing urban municipalities re-quire additional land to accommodate growth and development. During the municipality’s march towards annexa-tion, residents of Crowsnest Pass were left to won-der what was going on. Council of the day told us they had approached Ranchland and were willing to work with them but that their offer had been rebuffed. Small wonder, really. I can’t imagine how many communities would willingly turn over a large chunk of their land and pay to do so. Our present council said Ranchland was com-pletely caught off guard by the Crowsnest Pass fil-ing formal notice with the province and described their reaction as a “slap in the face”. Without being in the room, we can never know the substance of the discussion. Whatever the tone or content, it’s water under the bridge. What matters now is where we go from here. I’m glad to see the an olive branch has been ex-tended and annexation plans have been dropped. It is heartening to see our municipal council work-ing with people instead of against them, fully em-bracing the notion of collaboration. However, there is still the very real question of revenue – or more specifically, lack of. The art of collaboration must be balanced with a solid, concerted strategy to put money in municipal coffers through private, commercial endeavours. With the recent departure of the Economic Devel-opment Officer and two coal development compa-nies at varying stages of exploration, the focus must remain on developing a sustainable industrial base. While tourism dollars will be well spent here, council and the community must not lose sight of the need to attract industry. It is through larger businesses that long-term, well-paying jobs are cre-ated and these in turn, sustain families, schools and infrastructure, leading to more small businesses to service their needs. A drive to attract tourism must share the stage with a drive to provide industry with an attractive, viable place to do business. Together, the two will create a community that thrives for the benefit of all. JLM

Feeding wildlife has been an area of concern within the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass this season. Though leaving food scraps outside is arguably the most recognized form of baiting, one method often goes un-noticed by homeowners. Garbage bags and con-tainers left around the home may seem uninviting to most, but they serve an important role in the attrac-tion of various wildlife spe-cies around the community. The strong scent and avail-ability of food for animals such as skunks, raccoons and bears can result in many reoccurring wildlife sightings within municipal boundaries. Having these endearing critters nearby can be exciting, which can naturally become very tempting to continue to supply these creatures with a source of food. However, this consistent human food

supply is often not sufficient for the nu-tritional requirements of wild animals, and may also make younger animals

dependent on humans for survival. This level of familiarity with humans can allow wildlife sightings to escalate into wildlife encounters. In order to help eliminate any un-

wanted pests, attractants such as gar-bage bags should remain inside the home until the night before pick-up to

wildlife to remain healthy and self-sufficient in their natural habitats. In addition to garbage, do-mestic pet food is a favorite dish among wild animals. By keeping pet dishes in-side while they are not being used, the chances of attract-ing wildlife to urban areas can be significantly reduced. This becomes more impor-tant as fall approaches and animals begin to prepare for overwintering. More ag-gressive behavior can be dis-played by certain mammals at this point in time, and en-counters become more of a safety concern. We can all appreciate the biodiversity of our area by enjoying leisurely activities such as biking, hiking and camping in natural areas. By

keeping wildlife in their own habitat, we can support the livelihood of all liv-ing species and continue to experience the beautiful outdoors that we are so fortunate to live near.

Three land use bylaw amendments were approved last week without objec-tions. First, a former church in west Hillcrest was changed from Public to Residential after recently being pur-chased. The owner, Ian McKen-zie, told council there was a heritage building of some significance on the property that has been used for stor-age for the past 15 years. “The building is at a point now where it needs some money put into it,” said McKenzie. “The current zoning doesn’t allow us to do anything meaningful with the building, so the re-zoning to residential will al-low us to proceed with put-ting some money into the building.” He said their intention was to retain the exterior of the building and to keep as many of the heritage features inside as possible. Second and final reading passed. The second bylaw amendment was to change a portion of land from Recreation & Open Space to Drive-In Commercial to al-low the owners of Blairmore’s Kentucky Fried Chicken to sell the property. Development Officer Ken Bourdeau explained that the municipality is not selling part of the park; it is simply an ad-ministrative matter to rectify a split-zoning issue. When the property was origi-

nally purchased in the 1970s, a house on the property en-croached onto the neighbour-ing park. At the time, the Town of Blairmore sold a small por-tion of the park to the neigh-bouring property owner to deal with the encroachment issue. “The property owner is in the process of selling the property and they want to rectify any le-gal land issues that are on the property right now,” said Bour-deau. The second and third reading passed. Finally, the Off-Site Levy by-law was repealed. “We’ve had quite an extensive discussion and consultation

on this including consultation with members of the develop-ment community and the com-munity at large,” Bourdeau told council. Portions of a letter ad-dressed to council were read into the record by Chief Ad-ministrative Officer, Shel-don Steinke, as follows: “First, I would like to say that I feel the municipality is go-ing into the right direction in cancelling the off-site levy as it stands now. We need to encour-age people… to come to the Crowsnest Pass and live in our great community.” Repeal of the off-site levy by-law was effective immediately.

A small section of split-zoned land owned by the Kentucy Fried Chicken building in Blairmore was rezoned Drive-in Commercial to ease the purchase of the building.


Council tries to keep top RCMPin community By Joni MacFarlane Editor

An appeal has been made to keep Crowsnest Pass RCMP Corporal Kevin McKenna in the detachment. On behalf of the municipality, Mayor Blair Painter wrote a letter to Alberta’s Minister of Justice & Solicitor General requesting they reconsider the transfer of Cpl. McKenna out of the community. “Municipal council is of the opinion that to have him remain in the community would be a strong statement that we the elected council of the community want him to continue to be our policing leader,” wrote Mayor Painter. “I know that you have many considerations to make when it comes to promoting and transferring your leadership resources… but by hav-ing him remain in our community, I feel you would be supporting the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass for our future success.” Cpl. McKenna was promoted to the Sergeant’s position in Taber and was to remain in Crowsnest Pass until a Sergeant or Corporal is posted to the detachment. Council was told no response has been received from the Minister’s office as of Aug. 12.

Jugglers, fire-eaters, contortionists, stilt-

walkers and magicians are some of the per-formers coming to Crowsnest Pass next week-end. Dr. Von Houligan is a performance carnival with a variety of acts touring small commu-nities across Canada that would not typical-ly have access to such unique performances. There are no rides and no live animals in the show. There will also be a small concession, face painting, airbrush tattoos and other fun expe-riences for your and old. In addition, Dr. Von Houligan’s perfor-mance carnival is happy to showcase local tal-ent, so if you’ve always wanted to run away and join the circus, now’s your chance! They are interested in having local performers use their stage for a small set to help build their experience and learn more about their art. There are two performances nightly: a fam-ily-friendly performance for all ages at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 22 and Saturday, Aug. 23 as well as an adult show at 9:30 p.m. There is no nudity or excessive swearing and youth un-der 16 are welcome at the later performances if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Tickets are $20 per person and $10 for se-niors and children under 12. Look for the big top at Gazebo Park in Blairmore.

Tots and kids who participated in the summer program ended with a medley of books, story-telling and games as well as winning a variety of prizes at the wrap-up party on Aug. 13. The TD Summer Reading Club is a free program that strives to engage children in the joy of reading during the summer months while championing Canadian writers and illustrators. It helps connect families with books and build confidence in reading by delivering free incen-tives and fun, accessible library activities. The reading club ran weekly for six weeks with a preschool pro-gram in the mornings and a school age pro-gram in the afternoons. According to Library Manager, Diane de-Lauw, this year’s atten-dance increased with a total of 54 registered kids. A combination of advertising and promot-ing the club at schools has helped increase awareness, she said. “The program en-courages reading over the summer for the older kids and gives an awareness of read-ing and books for the younger kids,” said de-Lauw. “The older kids get to socialize because some might not see their friends over the summer. It also allows interac-tion for the younger kids when many other pro-grams int the Pass are closed.” Every week, kids read

at least one book and sometimes up to three. For every book read and every attendance at the club, names were put into a draw for prizes at both the Crowsnest Community Library and Leth-bridge Public Library. Summer student Kiana Misku-lin said it’s very rewarding for the kids and gets them excited about reading.

Every year a theme is selected from suggestions made across the country. This year’s theme was Eureka! encouraging bright ideas and creativity. “The kids this year had a great imagination,” said Miskulin. The program is a joint initia-tive between the TD Bank Group and Chinook Arch Regional Li-brary.

Answer

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Golf club house gets a mulligan By Joni MacFarlane Editor

A group of business owners and members of the Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club banded together to give the club house a much-needed makeover. According to Board President, Rob Amatto, over a period from late win-ter to early spring, they contributed materials and labour to redo the floor and paint the exterior deck. New ta-bletops are also slated to be installed. Contributing to the project was

Lance Ranscome of Hammond Floor Covering who donated carpet-ing, Bob Morrow who helped with the cost of carpeting and donated paint for the deck, Kevin Cox of Belfor Property Restoration who do-nated crews to install the subfloor, Chalmer Steiger of Steiger Flooring who installed carpeting, Adrian Fab-ro who helped with the cost of carpet-ing, Blair Painter of Summit Home Hardware who donated the wood, base boards and heat registers, and Gary Hudema of H&L Woodcraft who is replacing the table tops.

L-R: Rob Amatto, Lance Ranscome, Bob Morrow, Kevin Cox, Chalmer Steiger and Adrian Fabro. Missing were Blair Painter and Gary Hudema.


Crowsnest Pass Eat & DrinkCHEF DEZ ON COOKING Cooking pasta for the best results

A staple in almost every home’s pantry is spaghetti or some form of pasta that makes its way to the dinner table on a regular ba-sis. Many of us take the time to focus on building the flavour and complexity of the ac-companying sauce for our pasta of choice; however the pasta itself needs attention as well. Many food columns could be dedicated to achieving palate-pleas-ing goals in pasta sauc-es, but let us not forget about the substance of these dishes - the pasta noodle. Thus this col-umn will be focused on unraveling some myths and procedures in what seems to be one of the

simplest tasks in the kitchen - boiling water and cooking pasta.

The first thing to ex-amine is the dry pasta noodle and the trans-formation that takes place during the cook-ing process. The most obvious observation is that cooked pasta is larger in volume and flexible, compared to dry raw pasta. What makes this possible is the absorption of wa-ter during the boiling process. The cooking process of any food, no matter how simple it seems, needs to be analyzed because this is our chance of infusing flavour into the ingredi-ents being cooked.

Everyone has heard

of the process of salt-ing water when boiling pasta, but few know or realize the reason why. Some believe it is to help the pasta from sticking or to help keep the wa-ter from boiling over; however the reason is to season the pasta and to increase the flavour. Pasta on its own is very bland, and combining bland cooked pasta with a sauce that you have perfected, will be a detriment to your fin-ished dish. If the pasta water is salted liberally then the pasta will be absorbing salt-water, instead of just water, and thus your pasta dish will be seasoned from the inside out.

Another no-no is to

add oil to your pasta water. This idea prob-ably first came about to prevent the pasta noodles from sticking together, however it will affect your finished dish negatively. Oiled pasta water will help to keep your pasta from sticking together when cooking, but a film of oil will always be left on the drained noodles. This thin film of oil will inhibit the starchiness of the cooked pasta and then in turn lead to the accompanying sauce to not stick to or absorb into the noodles as much. When pasta is eaten you want the starchiness of the pasta to hold onto the sauce as much as possible, so that the dish will be able to be enjoyed to the fullest. That being said, drained cooked pasta should not be oiled for the same reason.

A better way to help prevent your pasta noo-

dles from sticking to-gether during the cook-ing process is to stir the noodles constantly for the first two minutes of cooking time. By that point the water will have returned to its full-boil action and the agitation of the bub-bling water will keep the pasta moving and prevent it from sticking.

Once the pasta has been drained, do not rinse it. Rinsing will cool the pasta down and also wash away some of the starchiness that we want to help secure the sauce to the noodles.

Homemade “spaghet-ti” is a very common dish in many house-holds, and whether you use spaghetti, linguine, or other types of noo-dles,
