Golden Fire Chief receives special honour Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

Big Mountain Battle coming to KHMR ..............................23

He has dedicated nearly two years of service to this community, and almost 25 years of service to the province, and is now being recognized for his contribution.

Golden Fire Chief Ken McClure received a letter from Premier Christy Clark, congratulating him

for being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

“I knew that I was nominated, and I was nominated by the Office of the Fire Commissioner,” said McClure.

The medal commemorates his contribution to the province in the area of auto-extracation.

He was invited to two ceremonies to receive the medal from Clark herself. Unable to attend the first

ceremony in Vancouver, McClure will travel to Victoria on Feb. 26 to receive his medal at the Parliament Buildings.

“That will give me a chance to notify my kids, and make a family thing out of it,” he said.

McClure came to Golden nearly two years ago to run the town fire department, but had racked up a very impressive resume before he

got here.

A recognized expert in the field of auto-extracation, McClure was one of six fire chiefs in the province to design a new road rescue policy.

Although the policy was unfortunately not adopted, he is now in charge of the financial analysis pilot project the province is conducting right here in Golden.

Good Neighbours for Heritage Week Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net All across the province from Feb. 18 to 24, British Columbians will be celebrating heritage week.

The theme this year is Good Neighbours: Heritage Homes and Neighbourhoods, so the Golden Museum is celebrating by opening up Golden’s very own heritage home, Wixon House.

“We wanted to be involved this year, we haven’t been for a few years so we wanted to get back in the swing of it,” said Colleen Palumbo, executive director of the Golden Museum.

“On Feb. 21 we’re going to do an open house at Wixon House. It’s Golden’s only heritage home, protected by bylaw.”

Wixon house was built in 1893 for Golden’s first doctor, and was sold to Arthur Wixon in 1912. It remained in the

Wixon family until Arthur’s daughter Ruth gifted it to the Town of Golden when she passed away in 2007.

“A lot of people haven’t had the chance to be inside, and see what a lovely little place it is, and the reason that it’s being protected,” said Palumbo. “I’ll be available to tell the history of the house and the items that are in it. There will be guided tours of the house throughout the day.”

Wixon House will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb. 21.

The museum will also be hosting a class to commemorate Heritage Week. On Feb. 19 they will be offering a Genealogy Tips for Beginners class.

Between 1 and 4 p.m., participants will be taught the basics of genealogy, and how to get started.

“We’ll be providing the forms for them to take away, and any information they need, like a little beginners

kit. Hopefully it will pique their interest,” said Palumbo.

“A lot of people out there are saying they want to put their family information together, but they don’t know how, or where to begin. Geneology is the fastest growing hobby in North America at the moment.”

The Golden Museum is also hard at work, getting ready for the opening of a new exhibit in April. Palumbo has been gathering artifacts and information about Baptiste Morigeau, a Metis merchant.

“We hope that it will attract a lot of attention. Baptiste Morigeau was the first merchant in Golden. He arrived here in 1883,” she said. “We’ll have a big opening for sometime in April. It’s quite a sizeable exhibit.”

For more information about what is going on at the Golden Museum, check out their recently revamped website at www.goldenbcmuseum.com.

Golden Rotary prepares for a gala Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net The Rotary Club of Golden will be hosting a special gala evening in support of The Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG).

“This is going to be a pretty significant event for us,” said President of the Rotary Club of Golden, Greg Ehman. “The gala is essentially two things. It is to celebrate the 108th birthday of the Rotary Club, and two, and more importantly, it is to bring to the forefront an important cause.”

The cause Ehman spoke of is the need for a better early learning and care centre for vulnerable children in Golden.

“We have taken the opportunity to celebrate Rotary’s birthday with the fundraiser for a great cause,” he said.

Organizers for the event are very excited to help a group which has passed on inspiration to the Rotarians.

“Rotary was lucky to have The Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG) group come and do a presentation at one of our regular meetings. As a result of this presentation it inspired everyone to want to be more involved,” said Rotary member Lori Baxendale.

Ehman added the night will be a great time for those people who come out to attend.

“I think we are going to have a heck of a good time. The goal to come with full wallets and prepare to leave empty,” Ehman said laughing. “It is going to be an epic fundraiser to really bring Rotary, and more importantly, the cause to the community.”

“It is built as a gala to evoke a certain type of feeling but it is a night out. It is a chance to dress up, go out and have a good time,” Baxendale added.

There will be dinner and music at the event along with the chance to sit at a special V.I.P. table that will have some surprises waiting for the lucky winners.

“People will have the opportunity to enter into a draw to be moved up to the V.I.P. table.

Besides from the table being beautiful there will be some unbelievable nice treats for those lucky enough to sit at the table,” Baxendale said.

Additionally there will be a new spin on a 50/50 draw where there will be great odds of winning.

Donations are also being given to the club for a silent auction which will be held at the event.

Anyone looking to buy tickets or making a donation for the event can talk to any Rotarian or drop by The Golden Star.

Behind the Wheel

Lights - Not Used, Not Working or Causing Problems

Without a doubt, one of the most popular topic suggestions that I receive has to do with vehicle lighting. Either they are not being replaced when burned out, aren’t being used properly (or at all) by drivers or are causing problems because of brightness or colour.

Most include the complaint that neither drivers nor the police are regularly checking vehicles and doing or enforcing the required maintenance.

Some of the smartest drivers I ever stopped for a burned out bulb dealt with the issue by thanking me for bringing it to their attention.

They reached into their glove box, took a spare bulb out and immediately replaced the dead one. How could you write someone a ticket in those circumstances?

Don’t signal, signal too late, don’t dim, don’t turn headlights or tail lights on, don’t turn fog lights off, the items on this list seem endless. These lights all have a job to do and it’s up to the driver to know how to use them and use them properly, every time. If you are paying attention to the task, how difficult can it be to do this?

BC Climate Action Charter debated Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden is one of 180 municipalities in British Columbia who are signatories to the BC Climate Action Charter. In fact, there are only eight communities in the province who have not signed their names to the charter — and Golden may become number nine.

It was proposed by Coun.

Keith Hern, in the last regular open council meeting, that Golden withdraw itself from the voluntary commitment, as he sees no benefit for the town.

“The BC Climate Action Charter has done nothing to improve the quality of the air we breathe and is a complete waste of tax payer’s money,” he said.

The charter is not legally binding, and municipalities are not required to remain a part of it, although no community has ever removed itself before.

Council has decided to wait until they have a better understanding of the costs and benefits of the charter before making any decisions.

“The Town’s commitments to the climate action charter are, first, to become carbon neutral, with respect to its emissions in 2012,” said David Love, manager of strategic initiatives for the Town. “Municipalities and regional districts are required to be carbon neutral only if they are signatories to the climate action charter.”

The cost to the Town to become carbon neutral, is the purchase of carbon offsets, one for each ton of continuing emissions.

Hern proposed the Town no longer use funds to purchase carbon offsets. It is projected that the Town would spend $14,000 to purchase carbon offsets from Pacific Carbon Trust in 2013, funds Hern thinks could be better spent on a local

wood stove exchange program.

“The principle benefit of being a signatory is that for every expenditure that the Town makes on energy, where it pays the carbon tax, the signatories receive back 100 per cent of that carbon tax paid,” said Love.

The eight municipalities in B.C. who are not signatories to the charter also pay that tax, and get none of it back.

Currently the carbon tax is $35 per gigajoule, which means Golden can expect to see a rebate for 2012 in the amount of $12,000 to $14,000. The tax has risen by $5 every year, meaning that in the past the rebate has been smaller. The average rebate between 2008 and 2011 was $6,297.50 per year.

More research into what it would mean to the Town to pull out of the BC Climate Action Charter is being done, and council will discuss Hern’s proposals again in the future.

Finally we are left with the decorators, the blinders and some that are legal but annoying. The right colour in the right place in the right number is something I have written about often. I’ve also explained how some lights can be legal yet are perceived as glaring nuisances. “Make it right” could be a good slogan for both vehicle owners and law enforcement.

Chamber hosts Brown Bag Lunch Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce is hosting a PST information session, as part of the Brown Bag Lunch Series.

Presenters from the Ministry of Finance, a PST Outreach Project Team, will be conducting a seminar to assist businesses with the transition back to the old tax. The seminar on Wednesday Feb. 27 at the College of the Rockies.

“The presenters will explain the process to the return of the PST and will cover pertinent topics such as registrations, filing requirements, and administrative changes. There will also be a question and answer session at the end,” said Ruth Hamilton, manager of the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce.

There have been several programs through the provincial government to help people make this transition, as many businesses have raised con-

cerns.

“I have received a few calls regarding the change to the PST. There are businesses in the community who are in their first years of business. These companies were not established before the HST, so they have never worked with the two systems,” said Hamilton.

“We ran the seminar going into the HST; many businesses attended and found the information helpful to guide the through the transition.”

To pre-register for the seminar, which is running from noon to 2 p.m. on Feb. 27, call the college at 344-5901.

Keep checking back to the chamber’s community calendar for upcoming events in the series.

“Over the next few months I will be bringing in a few more lunch series with a learning or informational component. They will either be a Brown Bag Lunch Series, or a Let’s do Lunch Series,” said Hamilton.

Golden families celebrate learning Monica De Submitted On January 27, Golden families filled up the Kicking Horse Movie Theatre to celebrate the 7th annual Family Literacy Day. The Kicking Horse movie theatre generously donated the space and movie! Students from Alexander Park and Lady Grey Elementary Schools voted to watch Ice Age 4: Continental Drift and they really enjoyed it.

Before families watched the movie, they were able to choose a free book and win prizes for answering questions about family literacy.

Families learned about the different ways they could learn together and how watching a movie could be fun and educational.

There was even a tongue twister competition, which Chloe Hood won for creating the most challenging tongue twister using the name of 1 of the characters in the movie– “Sumo Sid slowly slid” (Try saying it three times fast – it’s not easy!)

Pictured from left to right are Sierra Crowe, Ayra McCarthy and Emily Lesser who attended the Family Literacy Day celebration at the Golden Cinema.

Photo Submitted To entice more familiesin the area to talk about the movie afterwards, families were given a chance to win

four movie tickets by writing a review about the movie and submitting it to mde@cbal. org by April 1.

“This is the first time in the province that this is happening, this pilot project. This is huge.

There’s no way this would have happened if Ken wasn’t here,” said Chris Findley, assistant fire chief with the Golden Fire Department.

He has also travelled the world with rescue teams, competing in challenges. He is the only Canadian fire chief to lead a rescue team at a world competition, and came in third behind England and Australia.

In his less than two years in Golden, McClure has brought a breadth of experience to the Golden Fire Department, and has earned the respect and admiration of his department.

“I’ve been here for 10 years, and this department hasn’t had a professional fire chief in even longer than that, maybe 15 years. Now the Town of Golden has a fire chief that comes from a professional fire background, and the amount that I’ve learned in the two years of working with him is more than I have in the last 10 years,” said Findley.

“He’s dedicated to the fire service, 100 per cent, and he’s dedicated to this fire department 100 per cent. We’re pretty lucky to have him here.”

Aside from his efforts to bring the road rescue program to Golden, he has also upgraded the department’s equipment, diversified the training, and upgraded the fire hall. And all of this, he

“It was quite an honour for me… I’ll go to the Parliament Buildings, and I’ll be wearing my Golden dress blues, and I will stand proud and accept a medal for the community,” said McClure.

RCMP Report: Pedestrian hit in downtown crosswalk Golden Star Staff editor@thegoldenstar.net Nine vehicle collisions Police responded to nine reports of motor vehicle collisions in a one week period. The majority of the collisions occurred on the Trans Canada Highway, however one of the accidents occurred in the downtown area. A vehicle was turning left on 9th Avenue North, and did not notice a pedestrian crossing the street in a cross walk. The vehicle hit the pedestrian who was treated and released from hospital the same day.

Jan. 28 Impaired driving The RCMP were called to a possible case of impaired driving in the Town of Golden. The vehicle was located by officers and the driver exhibited signs of having consumed alcohol. The further investigation revealed that the driver was also on a court ordered condition not to consume alcohol. A fourth appearance has been issued to the driver of the vehicle for failing to comply with said conditions.

Unhappy roommates Police responded to a disturbance at a local residence and upon attending determined that the roommates were having a verbal argument over a set of car keys.

The roommate situation was clearly not working for the two and they agreed to part ways. The two were separated by consent for the evening, and would make arrangements the following day to have one move out.

Jan. 31 Lost snowmobiler Golden RCMP were notified of a lost snowmobiler in the Quartz Creek area. Further inquiries were made through search and rescue.

It was determined that the person had been sledding with a group of friends when he went off course.

The sledder went down some steep terrain and was unable to get out of the area.

This area where the sledder became trapped is a part of Parks Canada, and as such parks staff completed the rescue operation. In addition there are not supposed to be snow machines in this part of the park.

Golden RCMP, the fire department and BC Ambulance attended an accident on 9th Avenue North on Jan. 29. A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle at the crosswalk. She was treated at the hospital and released the same day.

A time to get ready and dance in Golden Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Young families are being brought together by the Ready, Set, Learn initiative for a fun family dance.

“The Ministry of Education funds boards of education to offer Ready, Set, Learn events in local schools. Families and their preschool aged children who attend will engage in play-based early learning activities while finding out about the early learning programs and services offered by the local school district or school,” said Shelley Zajsek, manager of the Little Chimps Preschool, and StrongStart BC facilitator.

The next Ready, Set, Learn event is the family dance, taking place in the Alexander Park Elementary School Gym on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

These events are often annual, and this will be the second year for the family dance.

“It was so successful last year that we are pleased to be able to bring it back for another year,” said Zajsek.

The event will include some community partners and agencies with information booths about their services for young families in the commun-

ity. There will also be a photo booth, crafts, dinner (Mac and Cheese from the Whitetooth Bistro), and dancing, music provided by Elite Sound and Light Entertainment.

“We know that parents and families are a child’s first, best, and most consistent teacher in a child’s life. We want to honour that fact, and make positive early connections with families with young children while providing them with helpful information and community contacts,” said Zajsek, explaining why events like this that bring families together are so important.

“And most importantly, parents and children have the opportunity to play and have fun together.”

Ready, Set, Learn events are supported by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Children and Family Development, and the Ministry of Health. Locally, they are also supported by School District 6, the Early Childhood Development Coalition, and StrongStart BC. The Family Dance is free, and is open for all families with preschool aged children to attend.

The event starts at 4:30 p.m., with dinner at 5:30 p.m., and dancing until 6:45 p.m.

Put up your dukes

MasqueParade Clarification

When the National Hockey League was locked out many people debated whether or not they would care when it returned, and how good would the hockey be, when it came back?

In Canada, at least, as always, we forgive and forget how upset we were that they took our game away.

Players have returned - My Way to the sheets of ice in

By Darryl Crane NHL arenas and seem to be in a foul mood based on the number of fights that have been happening. For years the debate has been there, about when the NHL would come out of the stone age and finally ban fighting.

Part of the debate is the effect that fighting has on the participants. Years of scrapping and being little more than a policeman for the team is argued to have a detrimental long-term effects on players.

Deaths last year, once again, brought the debate to the forefront with people claimng links between the way these men played, and what happened to them at the end of their lives.

Added to this is the constant threat of concussions and other serious injuries which come from fighting. To say that fighting is safe would be a foolish statement. Two people fighting in any situation can lead to serious injuries. Recently, Boston Bruins enforcer Shawn Thornton found out he was going to miss between seven and 10 games after being in a fight with Buffalo Sabres (six feet, seven inch, 270 pound) John Scott.

Practically every highlight reel I have watched this year has included one, if not more fights. After years of decline the game has taken a step back depending on your opinion.

So why is this happening now?

It could be argued that the NHL is trying to lure back fans on both sides of the borders, and one way to do that is to reinforce the idea that hockey is not only a fast paced game filled with skill, but also one where at any moment a brawl will break out.

There are many fans, who can be seen jumping up in the stands who love a scrap, fight or old fashioned Donnybrook. If you go on Youtube and watch some of the bigger fights over the past few years you even get to hear announcers talk mockingly about how people hate fighting, while people scream in the background.

The thrill of a fight will bring some people back to the arena.

Over the past few years teams have proven that being tough, and occasionally dirty, can yield results.

Los Angeles won the cup with four tough lines and no one in B.C. can forget how Boston knocked the stuffing out of the Canucks until the they finally could take no more. Aggression and pugnacity can work in the NHL and lead to championship glory.

So for anyone who thought the NHL had calmed down it looks like the days of the tough guys have returned and the idea of fighting disappearing forever is nothing more than a fairy tale.

Thanks to some eagle-eyed readers of the Golden Star, it has come to our attention that in our efforts last week to explain changes to this year’s MasqueParade, we confused matters.

Rest assured that both the Snow King and Lady Spring will be present on Saturday, February 16 at Spirit Square!

The change that affects them is that they will not be parading back across the pedestrian bridge and along the woodland path after the music and dancing show.

February is Heart Month Dear Editor, There are 7,000 people throughout the province who have an inherited risk of fainting or dying suddenly from an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) – often this is only discovered through an event like fainting.

However, research indicates that this is just the tip of the iceberg – for every person identified with inherited arrhythmia, four or more family members may unknowingly be at risk.

The condition can be managed with simple medical intervention, but when left unmonitored, it puts lives in danger. As the recently appointed Sauder Family and Heart and Stroke Foundation

Instead, they will lead the parade directly to the area in front of the Post Office where the carnival fun will continue for a while.

The woodland path will be lighted with lanterns so you can enjoy that beautiful walk on your own, either coming or going to the event at Spirit Square.

As well, please note that the festivities begin at 7 p.m. this year so that we can take full advantage of the dark of night to highlight the fire and candle light.

Sorry for the confusion.

See you there!

Chair in Cardiology, we are assembling a team of experts to build a network of clinics to discover those British Columbians at risk, and provide them with protection.

Despite all of our advances in prevention and treatment of heart disease, several thousand people in British Columbia die suddenly every year.

I feel this is a key challenge for my team to identify why this happens, who is at risk and how to prevent these tragedies.

I am proud to be able to pursue this work, thanks in part to the generous Heart and Stroke Foundation donors.

This February is Heart Month.

Your support enables me and my

Students at Golden Secondary School begin second semester Our first semester is now complete, final exams have been written for courses ending in January, and students are attending second semester classes.

In addition to a whole variety of core courses and elective courses, we are fortunate to have two Senior Outdoor Education classes this semester, led by Mr. Tom Freebairn.

The students in this class will learn the skills of iceclimbing, rock-climbing, canoeing, winter camping, and wilderness survival skills.

It has become a very popular course for our local students and our visiting international students.

We also have an introductory class, Junior Outdoor Education, that is designed for students in Grades 9 and 10, which is also a popular elective.

We said good-bye to 10 of our international students

as their stay with us has come to an end.

We welcomed six new international students for second semester.

We have a number of students who volunteered to be their buddies for the orientation activities, which included a tour of GSS, sharing information about our school, explaining our schedule, and introducing the new students.

It is very exciting to have the diversity of cultures in our School!

We have begun the process for the 2013-14 school year course selections.

On Wednesday, February 13th from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., we will have a student and parent Course Selection Evening.

This is a great opportunity to drop by to ask ques-

tions, learn about the process, and make good decisions for next year’s courses.

We have staff available to meet with students and parents to discuss individual situations. All of the course selections are due Friday, February 15th.

Students will enjoy a long weekend coming up with BC Family Day – a new holiday – on February 11 and then a Professional Development Day on February 12.

Students will return to school on Wednesday, February 13.

Feel free to call the School at any time if you have questions, comments or feedback: 250-344-2201.

Golden Moments: Fun and loving sisters look at wonderful times Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Betty Holland and Polly Potter have lived in Golden since the day they were born and there is no where else they would want to call home.

The sisters and their four siblings were the children of George (who served in the armed forces) and Johanna Richards.

Their grandmother came to Golden, and for 50 years never left the town other than one time when she went to the Donald area. She did not seem too impressed with it at the time.

“Our grandma used to call Betty a word that meant little devil. And really she was right,” Polly said laughing. “Our sister Bertha and her would have to go get wood in the wintertime and Betty would tell her to put her tongue on the lock. Bertha would do it.”

“I think we had a marvellous mother and father. Our door was always open and there was almost never a night where we didn’t have friends over.

Mom would say we couldn’t keep it up because we had a big family, but dad would tell her to throw another potato in the pot because it didn’t make any difference,” Polly said.

“One less table spoon of porridge in each bowl would make it for someone else, was what our father said,” Betty added.

She went on to say her father would bring home people from the bridge guard to sleep in the house.

After the passing of their father the family also brought in different local children who they helped look after.

One of those boys who came to live with the family looked and acted a great deal like their father.

“He had big brown eyes and even clicked his hands in his braces like our dad,” Betty said. “My mom couldn’t believe it but she said she could believe in reincarnation because he was so much like our dad.”

After their father passed away the family was helped a great deal by their uncle, Joe Van Hoepen, who came over on Sundays, and the children would get to eat special deserts.

The sisters explained that for many years their uncle would bring them different types of food and meat.

“We ate bear until a night we saw it skinned and our sister Lena said it looked like a human being. We never touched it again,” Polly said.

The sisters explained that their mother was always trying to do what she could to help other people. She was very busy making things out of old clothes so they could be used by either her own children or family friends.

“The first toboggan we had was when Annie was working. She bought the toboggan for Christmas because our Christmas presents used to be men’s stockings that our mom would fill. The stockings would have two buttons and a nose with a wool mouth and we thought it was wonderful,” Betty said.

Another fun time for the girls was when one of the children would get to go to King’s Store with their mother.

“She would take one of the kids and she might buy us a dish of ice cream or a piece of pie. So we would have to wait

Pictured above are sisters Betty Holland (left) and Polly Potter.

Darryl Crane/Star Photo six months to get this treat,” Betty said.

After a serious fall in a local store their sister Annie had to be sent to Calgary to have a broken hip looked after.

The doctor at the time explained to their mother that the injury needed attention quickly, because in the long run she could die from complications from her injuries.

“Our sister Lena heard this and went up to Annie, who was not quite 12, and told she was going die,” Betty said.

Annie became quite upset until her mother explained that if she indeed was dying they would not be sending her to Calgary which did comfort her.

Betty and Polly said their family was full of love when they were growing up.

“Our mother had a heart of gold and so did our dad. I feel we grew up with parents who showed us what real love was and we may not have had a lot of things but by God we had love,” Polly said.

Family Day 2013

Local family prepares for a fun time on Family Day Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Family Day has finally come to British Columbia and the Archibald family is looking forward to a fun day.

Mike, Karen, Madeline (age 12), Adam (nine) and Geoffrey (seven) are excited to have a day to spend together.

“I think it is great. I think it is one of the best things that they have ever done,” Mike said. “With the emphasis on family and spending time with your children on that day. It is rare that people have a day where they get to just hang out with their kids.”

He added that quite often on days off people end up having to do other things so having the day is very special.

The family will most likely end up skiing at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort on

Family Day this year.

“We have a ski pass we are trying to work off, and we haven’t had a lot of opportunities the past couple of weeks, so we will take one day of the weekend to go,” Mike said.

He said he thinks it was a good idea to have the day one week before the Family Day in Alberta so that places like the ski hill will not be over crowded on one weekend.

All of the children in the family are now skiers with Geoffrey now taking lessons this year.

“I don’t ski downhill but I do cross country,” Karen said. “They have been skiing together.”

The children did point out that if their mother would like to make cookies while they were skiing they would be very happy.

Mike admitted that both Made-

beat him. (This fact was not correct according to Madeline.)

The Archibald family also shared some of their views on challenges that face families in a very busy world.

“As a teacher I often have not had the opportunity to go on my children’s field trips because when they are in school I am in school as well. This year has been different because of my new job. I have been able to do this with them, and that has been great,” Mike said.

“Parents are so busy, especially with two people trying to work, but it is hard to make ends meet. I understand why parents with two incomes have a hard time finding the time to spend with the kids because they are working.”

“We generally try and do things with the kids that are no cost as a family,” Karen said. “You can go to the Snow King Festival and do things like that as a family.

We often go for bike rides and have dinner together as a family, which is unusual this day and age.”

The children shared some of the things they enjoy.

“I just got a new bike for Christmas so I am hoping when we go on bike trips I

will be able to use it,” Adam said.

Madeline said she enjoys the fact that her parents do their best to come and watch them when they are taking part in activities.

“When they come and watch us at tournaments. They sit on the hard benches or wet grass for soccer or basketball, it means a lot,” Madeline said.

Geoffrey said he likes it when the family goes swimming together at the town pool.

The family also said they enjoy the outdoor ice rinks in Golden.

“It is a great opportunity for us to just walk over there and, because the one near our house is lit up at night, we can use them,” Mike said.

“I can put on my goalie stuff and just walk over there and let Madeline takes shots at me,” Adam added.

Mike wanted to bring up a point he recently read in a book about parenting.

“The most important thing you can do with your kids is spend time with them, because when kids get older, that’s what they will look back upon. It is not what you buy them or how much money you spend on them. It is how much time you spend with them,” he said.

The Noble Thiefs are getting ready to steal the show

The Noble Thiefs will be playing at the Rockwater Grill and Bar on Feb. 22.

Photo Submitted Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net They believe it’s time for a rock and soul revolution, and they’re bringing it

to Golden on Friday Feb. 22.

The Noble Thiefs, a rock and soul band from Winnipeg, are playing a show at the Rockwater Grill and

Bar. From humble beginnings with aspirations no greater than playing to a room full of people in a friend’s basement,

to commanding venues packed with rabid fans at Montreal’s Divan Orange and the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.

The Noble Thiefs, made up of Myron Dean, Riley Hastings, Ian Lodewyks, and Time Jones, have exploded onto the Canadian music scene seemingly out of thin air. But, if you ask them, this was their plan all along.

A truly collaborative effort, their music comes from each band member contributing to the songwriting process equally. It brings a well-rounded diversity to their repertoire.

Through a combination of honest music, humility, and their signature, overthe-top live show, the friendly four-piece

band has become one of Winnipeg’s hottest bands.

Silky vocals and heartfelt lyrics are a large part of The Noble Thiefs’ music, but there is no denying that it’s their addictive live show that keeps people coming back for more.

Raw, inspired, and wrought with twisting emotion, they are in a league of their own with an unparalleled live show that is more reminiscent of 70s-era punk than the 1950s soul that so heavily influences their sound.

With the release of their debut album, Beyond The 11th Deck, at the end of 2011, and a Canadian tour under their belt, The Noble Thiefs are steamrolling their way forward on a momentum high that

The Boom Booms get ready for a ball Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Time is drawing near for the 2013 Masque Costume Ball on Feb. 15 that will star The Boom Booms. Geordie Hart is the Bass player for the band and he is looking forward to returning to Golden.

“We went through there last winter and played at one of the bars. Golden is great. A few years ago I spent a few weeks there and it is really cool. I am fond of Golden,” he said.

The Boom Booms are a Vancouver-based sixpiece rock-pop band who have built a loyal fan base since starting up in 2007. When they were first starting out they did a tour in Central America in a 1970’s Winnebago.

“Travelling around the world with a distinct purpose that gave us a chance to connect with the locals which is something we love to do,” said Hart.

In 2011, The Boom Booms released their debut album Hot Rum! which helped earn the sextet a

spot in the 2011 Peak Performance Project.

“Typically I like to say that it is music that combines all our inspiration from our lives. It is from around the world. It is all put through the filter of what we have grown up with, which I call Boom Boom Music,” said Hart.

As for what people can expect from a show Hart said, “Typically we do a high every show. We are six, twenty-something guys with a lot of energy.

Over the years we have fostered our shows playing festivals across B.C. and Alberta. The unique thing about this tour is that we are preparing to record a second full-length album. We have been rehearsing a bunch of new songs and we are going to get to perform them for the first time at some of these shows.”

This is the first time the group has played at a full on masque ball, and they are up for people showing their other side which comes out from behind the masque.

“When people are dressed in outfits, it brings out all of their alter egos and they get to be uninhibited,” he said.

Vancouver band Delhi 2 Dublin performed at last year’s Snow King Masque Ball, and are returning for a show at the Rockwater.

Rockwater hosts Delhi 2 Dublin Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Vancouver fusion band Delhi 2 Dublin are playing a show at the Rockwater Grll and Bar on Friday Feb. 8.

They are returning after a very successful show at last year’s Snow King Masque Ball at the Golden Civic Centre.

The popular live band combines Bhangra

(folk music of India’s Punjab state) and Celtic music, fusing Indian beats with Celtic melodies.

They have toured the world, playing top festivals in Canada (including the Canada Day festivities in Ottawa and the Vancouver Winter Olympics), the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2011 they even ventured further into Europe and the Pacific Rim. Tickets are $15, and are available at the Rockwater and Plain Wayne and Jane.

The health effects of wood smoke Annette Luttermann Golden and District Air Quality Committee

In this installment of our weekly series on air quality, we consider the potential effects of excessive wood smoke on the health of residents and visitors to Golden.

Wood smoke contains a number of hazardous chemical substances such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (including potential carcinogens such as benzo[a] pyrene), and inhalable particulate matter (PM).

The chemical composition and quantity of contaminants emitted depends on how the wood is burned. Conditions that burn wood as completely as possible, not only produce the most usable energy, but also emit the least smoke. In general, more energy efficient wood burning appliances produce less of these hazardous air pollutants.

Particulate matter goes deep into the lungs.

One of the biggest human health threats from wood smoke comes from particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in

size (PM2.5). These very fine particles are suspended in air, can be inhaled deep into the lungs, and can trigger asthma attacks and heart problems.

Wood smoke is one of the largest contributors to PM2.5 contamination in Golden along with diesel exhaust. PM2.5 levels can vary at one location in Golden depending on the time of day and weather conditions.

How many people are sparking up a new fire? Is the road closed increasing vehicle idling? Are slow wind speeds and temperature inversions trapping emissions in the valley?

Those most sensitive to the effects of PM2.5 include young children with developing lungs, the elderly, and people of all ages who have asthma, bronchitis, other respiratory problems, or cardiovascular disease. On average, an adult breathes 13,000 litres of air each day. Children breathe 50 per cent more air per kilo of body weight.

Breathing wood smoke can lead to: Eye, lung, throat and sinus irritation Increased risk of respiratory tract illness including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness Reduced lung function, espe-

cially in young children Increased severity of existing lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis Increased risk of heart attacks Long term exposure to air pollution may contribute to chronic obstructive lung disease, increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Smoke from backyard recreational fires also releases harmful contaminants that can penetrate indoors to neighbouring homes through intake vents and windows.

The Golden and District Air Quality Committee strongly encourages those who choose to burn wood to be a good neighbour and minimize smoke by building only small hot fires with dry, seasoned wood. It’s also important to use only EPA/CSA approved wood stoves and to properly maintain your stove and chimney. Check your chimney frequently to see if it is smoking and if so, take action to reduce your contribution to air pollution in Golden.

It is for the benefit of everyone’s health.

If you have questions about air quality in Golden, please send them in to info@goldenairquality.ca. We will explore them in future articles.

Golden Rams Novice hockey team holds raffle for minor hockey Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Minor Hockey Association Golden Ram Novice hockey team is holding a raffle for a great prize.

“We are doing a fundraiser for the team. The prize is two Calgary Flames tickets plus $300 in a prepaid Visa,” said team manager Kathy Thorne.

There are only 800 tickets for sale for the raffle that will aid the team going forward.

“We use it to help pay for tournaments which cost anywhere from $600 to $900. We try to do fundraising so we can pay for tournaments as a team. The other thing we do as a group is to put money away to use towards the registration costs for next year. We are trying to encourage player retention for the group,” she said.

Thorne added she sees hockey as a great way for children to have fun at this age.

“Being part of a team is good for their self esteem. It is not about winning at this age. It is good exercise for them and they are starting to learn how to make decisions in the game. They are building their basic skills.”

Tickets will be on sale until March 31 and will be on sale at the team’s home tournament on Feb. 9-10.

The home tournament will give people the chance to take part in a silent auction.

“We will have Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks autographed pictures. We will also have a signed Ryan Smyth jersey.

Slow starts hurt Golden Rockets during two games at home Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Rockets continued the team’s strong season with a hard fought 5-2 win against the visiting Spokane Braves on Feb. 1.

Both teams came out sluggish in a first period that only saw a total of 18 shots and no goals scored.

The Braves were the first team to get on the scoreboard when Matt Thurston beat the Rockets goalie midway through the second period.

The lead was short-lived as the Braves got into penalty trouble. Carson George scored to even the game up with 8:27 left in the second period.

The Braves retook the lead before the end of the period when Kurtis Redding scored on a Braves power play.

The third period started out with a bang when Rockets captain Brett DeFrias received a dangerous hit from Paxton Bell.

DeFrias stayed down on the ice for a number of minutes after the hit and eventually was helped to the dressing room with an apparent neck injury.

After the game, Rockets head coach Ty Davidson shared his view on the hit.

“I think it was a penalty and I think he hit a guy in a venerable spot. I don’t think it was a malicious hit. I don’t think he was trying to hurt or injure our player so I have no ill will towards that player,” he said.

w

Bell received a five-minute major for an illegal check to the head, along with a 10-minute and game misconduct. Four other players also received 10-minute misconducts for their actions after the hit.

The Rockets scored once on the fiveminute power play as Blake Roney scored his 19th goal of the season.

The Rockets kept the play down in the Braves end for most of the rest of the game and scored three more times. Felix Larouche, Jacob Bergeron and Keith Wake all helped the Rockets earn the win.

Even though Davidson was happy with the win he said he wants to see a better 60-minute effort in the future from the team.

“I am happy with our third period.

I gave them a little bit of a wake up call between the second and third period. I didn’t like what I was seeing in the first two periods,” he said.

“We are playing a team that is well below us in the standings, and that is no disrespect to them because they do have players that can do some things, but it is a team you are supposed to beat. We should have put out a better effort than we did in the first 40 minutes.”

The Rockets came out slow again on Saturday night when the Castlegar Rebels came to play at the Golden Arena.

The Rockets scored the first goal of the game only 55 seconds into the first period, when first line player Keith Wake notched his second goal of the weekend

However, the Rebels would take advantage of their chances in the first period and take a 3-1 lead after a trio of unanswered goals on only five shots.

The Rebels added to their lead in the second when Travis Wellman scored a power play goal a little over halfway into the period.

The Rockets cut into the lead with a goal from Brad Orr and made it a one goal affair when James Price scored in the third period.

With time winding down in the game

the Rockets pulled their goalie in an attempt to tie things up, but the Rebels put one last goal in the empty net to make the final score 5-3.

Davidson said the team needs to figure out a way to have better starts to their games going forward.

“When you are playing a good team and are down 3-1 after the first, that is hard to come back from. That is a team that is used to winning games and they know how to finish out a game,” he said.

“We killed ourselves in the first period tonight.”

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

There has been much discussion in our community in recent months about how the various community organizations can come together and utilize their combined resources for the betterment of the community. It appears that this thought process has been in the works for many years and still we haven’t quite gotten it right.

Perhaps with a new effort we can, consider attending the free information session at the Island Restaurant on February 7 from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm to learn about what a CO-OP can do.

From the Golden Star, March 25, 1932 A committee having been, formed in Golden to promote the community spirit and to secure a community hall, and this committee having been likened to the “community councils” which have been formed of recent years in certain parts of the prairie provinces and in the Old Land, it may be of

council.

The purpose of the council is to unite and coordinate all efforts which may be made to improve conditions in the town or district in which it is put in operation. It will he found that in every community there are certain bodies or individuals who are working for the welfare of the community, yet their efforts may he largely useless unless they can successfully work together.

An improvement may be desired by all, but it is not brought about because no one feels responsible for taking it in hand. There may be great laxity in certain quarters, but no one is in a position to point out to the offenders how they should mend their ways. Only in the case of actual law breaking can action be secured.

The community council is designed to remedy this lack, and to provide an effective means for ensuring that the general will shall be allowed to prevail. The council is composed of one or more chosen delegates from each: organization in the community. They meet from time to time, as may be appointed, and discuss any suggestion

which may be made for the benefit of the town and district. · When any improvement is decided upon, it may delegated to one of the organizations represented to carry out the work. In either case the entire support of –the town is placed behind the particular movement.

The advantages of this system are obvious. When any object is planned, it is put before the “council” and, their approval being obtained, success and support are assured. On the other hand, overlapping is prevented, as it becomes the duty of the council and of the organizations which it represents to see that no support is given to unauthorized movements.

Much effective work is accomplished by this and similar means. Amongst these may be mentioned beautifying of grounds and public buildings such as schools, public offices, etc., planting of trees and shrubs, clearing up waste ground, sanitation, and so on.

Besides this, the work of all local organizations is greatly enhanced, as they can carry out their plans with full assurance of active cooperation from the citizens as a whole.

Grand opening to happen at Kicking Horse Gymnastics Club

The Kicking Horse Gymnastics Club is getting ready to have their official grand opening at their new home on Feb. 13, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

“It is National Gymnastics Week, so a great week to celebrate gymnastics in Golden,” said head coach Christine Muise.

On that day the club will be having an official ribbon cutting at about 4:45 p.m. while giving out participation passports for anyone interested in being a gymnast.

Gymnasts will be doing demonstrations in tumbling, bars and other events. There will be a bake sale and people are asked to bring an item for the food bank.

“We will also be starting a penny drive for people to drop off their pennies. I am willing to try to do 100 giants on the high bar for your pennies.” Muise said. “We have been loving our new home. The extra time we have for classes has allowed the club to grow in number of registrations as well as in the depth of the athletes training at more serious levels.”

Muise also explained why having a permanent place has been a great help for the club.

“The biggest benefit of having a permanent place is the reality that the equipment does not have to be set up and taken down each day. This is saving us a great deal of time and obvious wear on the equipment. It means that there are more available time spaces to offer programming and options for future opportunities abound,” she said.

The event is open to the whole community and people are welcome to come by and see the facility.

Sweet options available for Valentine’s Day shopping Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net It’s almost that time of year for you to satisfy your special someone’s sweet tooth.

“Valentine’s Day is all about the chocolate,” said Janet Crandall, owner of Moose Trax Fudge in downtown Golden.

The shop is bright with red and pink, full of treats to fill anyone’s Valentine’s Day shopping needs.

“I know that fudge and chocolate is not for everybody. Some people will come to buy liquorice. So I try to have something for everybody,” said Crandall.

For her first Valentine’s day with the shop, Crandall has been trying hard to bring some unique and fun items into the store for the holiday. Aside from the always popular fudge, there are various other chocolate creations, fudge covered apples, lollipops, and other candies.

“I’m trying to have all price points, so for all budgets. So there’s even something affordable for kids who want to buy something for a special friend,” she said.

There are already made baskets, and individual items that people put together to make their own creation. Prices can go as high as you want, but there are also under $5 options to

choose from.

“I’ve made sure that both options are available. They can order something too, if they like the idea of a package, but they would like to spend a little more or a little less.”

Dark chocolate has been popular in the store as of late, and Crandall has brought in some gluten-free and vegan chocolate bars. There will also be some sugar-free options.

“I’m going to have some diabetic fudge, and I’ll have a diabetic chocolate bar as well, dark and milk. Those chocolate bars we get from a chocolatier in Canmore. When we ordered them at Christmas, the sugar free stuff sold out the first day,” she said.

There will be more items coming into the store in the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, but it might be best to get in early because Moose Trax limits the number of each item that is brought in.

“I try hard to have a wide variety. You want to have enough variety so that everybody isn’t buying the same thing. I’ve only got 12 of these, and 15 of these, so hopefully people won’t end up with the same thing,” said Crandall.

Moose Trax is located on 9th Avenue North, next to the Youth Centre.

MARY BRUCE CARSON NOV 7, 1928 JAN 24, 2013

Proud Parents Rob Batten and Raelene Colonna

Cards of Thanks

Passed away peacefully on January 24, 2013 at Durand Manor, Golden, BC, at age 84. She will be sadly missed by her family: Sharon Glass Calgary AB, Mervyn Schacher (Audrey) Lantzville BC, Rick Schacher (Anna) Parson BC, Val Roberts (Orval) Spillimacheen BC, Brenda Schuck (Ray) Golden BC, stepson John Carson (Vivian) Nanaimo BC, stepson Ed Carson Windermere BC, step-daughter Patsy Godlien Wilmer BC, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Predeceased by her parents Mary and Joseph Bissett, sister Joyce Robertson, husband Jack (2003), son Dean (1992) and grandson Ryan (1997).

Born in East End SK, and receiving her schooling there, she then moved to BC and then ended up settling in Parson BC. Mary lived in Parson for 50 odd years with her husband and raising her children. After her family was grown and left home, she was proud of her accomplishments getting her GED and her driver’s license. After getting her driver’s license she bought herself a car and got a job, working a number of years before retiring. Music was a large part of her life, playing guitar, singing and yodelling. The Parson farm was notoriously known for great house parties.

The family would like to thank the staff at Durand Manor, her special friends who would stop by every Sunday to visit her, and Bowers Funeral Home. Cremation and graveside memorial to be held April 27, 2013.

Solid showings continue for Golden Kicking Horse Alpine Team

Pictured left is Ethan Allenback who won a gold medal in the Giant Slalom event for his age group.

Mark Baxendale President GKHAT Golden Kicking Horse Alpine Team (GKHAT) have finished a very busy January. We took delivery of lots of new racing equipment over the Christmas period and put it to work on the first weekend of the new year.

We have been gate training every weekend since and latterly we are offering midweek gate training as well.

Without focus on competitive skiing, the children in the program have become more focused on racing than they have done before.

On January 24 we took 26 mem-

RRSP/TFSA PROMOTION bers of the team to Revelstoke and finished the day with 14 podium positions, which far exceeded our coaches’ expectations.

We have just returned from Panorama and although we did not podium in the massive event,

our coaching staff realized that we were “not far off” where we need to be to be competitive with more established race teams in the area.

The dynamic of the team and club has changed because of all recognition in the past month and we

have more initiatives planned to develop the team even further.

The athletes are excited, the parents are excited and we as coaches and the executive are inspired to set our sights higher as a result of what has happened in the past few weeks.

The Helly Hansen’s Big Mountain Battle is returning to the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort on Feb. 23.

A battle to be had on a big mountain Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Helly Hansen’s Big Mountain Battle is coming to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

For the fifth exciting season, Helly Hansen is inviting you to join the fun and excitement of a little adventure on the mountain you thought you already knew.

The Big Mountain Battle will take you to corners of the mountain you may not have been to for years, send you hiking up a climb you would have never thought to do, go searching in the woods for the checkpoint, and get tracked in real time by Flaik GPS, all with your buddies.

This is a team-based event, open to all ages and levels, and allows exploration of the entire mountain. Each team of two must cover

off all of the checkpoints lifts, runs, and hikes around the mountain in a three-hour time period.

Every team will be given a course map and team card. The top three teams with the best times to complete all checkpoints, runs and hill climbs, will receive awards. But the top team will receive a grand prize of $2,000 worth of Helly Hansen product, redeemable on the Helly Hansen website.

There are three different categories, including an Intermediate Course 12 and Under, in which only one member of the team must be under 12.

This is perfect for a parent/child team.

The Big Mountain Challenge at KHMR is on Saturday Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. To register a team for the challenge, go to www. bigmountainbattle.com.
