Joyce Sasse - Our community faced a decade of disaster between 1990 and 2003. There were murders, drought and grasshoppers, a major flood knocking out 19 bridges in the Municipality, prairie fires to the north of us and forest fires to the West … And then there was BSE, which devastated the livestock industry. The weight of depression was evident everywhere.

Pincher Planters plan to continue

Toni Lucas - Pincher Planters President John Hancock spoke for the organization as a delegation to the Monday evening September 12 meeting of Pincher Creek's Town Council. Approximately a dozen of the Pincher Planters were in attendance. Hancock spoke in response to a different delegation of the Pincher Planters, Rosaleen Berger and Noreen Robbins, who attended council's Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting on Wednesday, September 7, according to that meeting's agenda. At that meeting council was left with the impression the organization was folding. Hancock said the Pincher Planters will continue to run as a volunteer organization in the town of Pincher Creek, albeit minus three or four members.
