Candidates get ready to answer questions Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

Karate kicks grow in Golden ..............................27

Don’t miss your chance to hear the three candidates for the Columbia River-Revelstoke provincial riding speak their mind at the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce All Candidates Forum.

Chamber manager Ruth Hamilton has confirmed that all three candidates, Norm Macdonald (NDP) Doug Clokechok (Liberal) and Earl Olsen (Conservative) have all committed to attend.

“We want to provide an opportunity for the community to become acquainted with each of the candidates running in the upcoming election. It is important to the vitality of the

economic climate to hear what each of these parties can offer the citizens of Kicking Horse Country,” said Hamilton.

At the forum, each candidate will be allotted two minutes to make an opening statement. The order of their appearance will be determined in advance by random draw.

Statements will be followed by a question and answer period in which those in attendance are asked to stand, state their name, topic and question only. The event’s chairperson may step in if any person attempts to use the meeting as a platform for expressing a personal point of view on any issue.

Each candidate will have one minute to answer each question.

The Chamber is encouraging as wide a par-

ticipation as possible, and will therefore be limiting the questions to one per individual.

The candidates will then be given another two minutes for closing statements.

If you do not wish to stand up and publicly ask your question, the candidates will be available for half an hour before, and after the forum, to speak the public directly.

“The Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce prides itself as a non-partisan organization with many years experience facilitating All Candidates Forums that are fair and equal to all,” said Hamilton.

The forum will take place at the Senior’s Centre on Thursday May 2. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., the forum itself runs from 7 to 9 p.m., and the doors will remain open 9:30 p.m.

Nicholson Fire Chief settling into the new leadership role Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net After five months of easing into the position, Nicholson Fire Chief Parker Vaile is

getting more comfortable with his new job.

"I'm starting to get a little more comfortable with the job. I was always pretty comfortable with the role of

firefighter, but being in command has taken some getting used to.

There's a lot of decisions to make, and you have to make them pretty quickly," said Vaile, who stepped up to fill the role after former fire chief Markus Kellenberger left.

"It's big boots to fill for sure. He (Kellenberger) knew everything about everything."

Being a fire chief is a major commitment, and Vaile jumped straight from firefighter to chief because he was able to give it the time it needs. As the co-owner of VP Waste Solutions, Vaile's job gives him the flexibility to give more time to

the fire department.

"That's why I decided to do this, I knew I could give it the time it needs," he said. "It's been a lot of time, especially because I'm still learning."

Nicholson has responded to about five calls since Vaile assumed the leadership role, and he learned a lot on the job.

After taking some command training in Salmon Arm, through the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, he has noticed a big difference.

And equally as important as the training, is the support he has received from the rest of the department while he makes this transition.

"I jumped straight from firefighter to chief. So it's really nice to have Dale (Rintoul) as the Deputy Chief because I have questions all the time," said Vaile. "And Nicki Jo (Wolfram) is our training officer, she's fantastic. She's probably the most qualified person in the hall, but we won't let her do anything

else other than be our trainer because she's the most qualified person to train everybody.

It's important that the training officer know more than everybody else."

The department has been fortunate this year, having fewer calls.

With the mild winter, there was less burning, and therefore fewer

chimney fires.

But fire prevention is always a priority for the department. They are giving away free smoke detectors at the hall for anyone in the Nicholson area who needs one. Stop by the fire hall on any Tuesday evening to pick one up.

The department is also inviting anyone who is interested in

volunteering as a firefighter to stop by their Tuesday evening practice to see what it is all about.

"When you first walk into this place it's a bit overwhelming, then eventually it starts to feel like a second home," said Vaile.

"Everyone is here for the same reason, we're just here to help."

Early learning group project now in its second phase Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group had their fundraising kick-off more than two months ago, and now they are working hard to secure the rest of the funding to draw up the plans for an early learning and care hub.

Project co-ordinator

Joanne McCullough sees the project in three phases. The first was the Child Care Feasibility Care Feasibility Study and the hiring of two champions to research possibilities to address the problem.

Right now the project is in the second phase.

“Phase two is fundraising, community support, so getting

people behind the project, and getting it up to construction drawings. So that phase will cost about $60,000,” said McCullough.

The third phase will involve fundraising for the $600,000 project, and the actual construction of the facility, which will be built onto Alexander Park Elementary.

School District 6 has become a key strategic partner, and has agreed “in principle” to allow them the space, and absorb the

operating costs.

The facility would consist of two identical “pods.” Each would be built as as a licensed child care facility, and would have the capacity for eight children. It would start off with one pod being designated for childcare, with the other a family resource centre. If the need for even more childcare arises, then the family programs can be moved to another facility.

“Politically, people

are starting to wake up to the issue of childcare. So our project has good timing,” said McCullough.

The BC Liberals have already pledged $32 million for new child care spaces, and McCullough has spoken with NDP MLA Norm Macdonald, who says his party has also identified child care as a priority, and will commit similar funds to the issue.

Those funds will be sought after in phase three, and

in the meantime McCullough is trying to secure the money to complete phase two.

She has already received $18,000 from Columbia Basin Trust, and is hoping to have the construction drawings completed by the end of the summer.

In a perfect world, McCullough would spend the winter fundraising, and have enough to break ground in the spring of 2014.

The Rotary Club of

Golden has already donated $25,000 to that phase of the project, and is using that money to leverage international Rotary funds.

“Projects like this take time. If we had the money, we’d be digging in the ground right now, but we don’t,” said McCullough. “But it doesn’t matter how long it takes. If we don’t stop fundraising, then one way or another, this project will get done.”

Office opens for election Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net With the 2013 British Columbia election coming on May 14, district electoral officer Brenda Bernat and her staff are working hard to get as many people ready to vote as possible.

With an office at 423 9th Ave. N., Bernat said there are two kinds of voting a residents will be able to do.

“This is especially applicable to people who have to be away. We have a population who live here but are not working here. Those people can phone the office at 344-3400 and request a mail-in package,” she said.

For this option people should get in touch with the office as soon as possible because the package would have to be shipped to them and returned to the office before May 14.

“The other thing they can do is drop by the office anytime and register and vote here. This is a type of voting which is not available to everyone. It is available to people who think they will not be in the area or they will not be able to get out of their home. There has to be a valid reason why they need to vote at our office,” she said.

For the general public advance voting, residents will be able to vote on May 8, 9, 10 and 11 at the Mount 7 Rec Plex. The advance voting will happen from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on those days.

General voting day will happen on May 14 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., also at the Rec Plex.

“There is something else that is very new with this election. When you get your ‘where to vote’ card, you can use that as a form of ID,” Bernat said.

People are reminded that they will need two forms of ID and people should drop by the office or check Elections BC online to confirm what identifications are acceptable.

Bernat also said it is a good idea to get on the voters list early.

“One of the reasons to register early is because it will make it much quicker when you get to the voting station,” she said.

RCMP Report: Semi crashes on TCH Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net ATV stolen from Kettleston Road 12-04-13 Golden/Field RCMP have seen a rise in thefts from vehicles recently in and around Golden. There was a theft of a high-end all terrain vehicle from the Kettleston Road area.

The vehicle, called a Kubota, is a diesel ATV. The RCMP said people should do their best to keep these types of vehicles in an area where people would have a difficult time stealing them.

On April 14, RCMP attained information about a person of interest who may have been involved with the theft of the ATV and made an arrest.

The ATV was found in the bush, near where it was stolen.

One local male was charged with theft over $5,000. The suspect has had a bail hearing and has been released with very strict conditions.

Gas targeted by thieves 14-04-13 RCMP were called to the area of 8th Avenue South and 14th /15th Street.

A citizen flagged down a patrol car and claimed they had seen some youths who were stealing gasoline from vehicles parked along the street in the immediate area.

The person described a pickup truck and while on patrol the RCMP pulled over a vehicle closely matching the description they had been given.

The officer questioned the two visible occupants in the truck and determined they had altered the look of the vehicle for some unknown reason.

The officer arrested the two occupants of the truck only to find two more people hiding under a blanket in the back seat of the vehicle.

The officer ended up arresting all of the people who were in the truck.

The RCMP recovered property that had been stolen from a decommissioned ambulance that had been parked in the area where the thefts were supposed to have occurred.

Upon a search of the vehicle, Golden/Field RCMP also found paraphernalia which could be used for stealing gas.

The RCMP are recommending charges and the suspects have been released under specific conditions.

The four people were adults from the Golden area. One of the four was identified as the person involved with the theft of an ATV (read above) on Kettleston Road.

RCMP are asking that anyone who had gas stolen from their vehicle on April 14 to contact the RCMP in Golden.

Semi trailer truck goes off highway 18-04-13 A semi-trailer truck went off the Trans Canada Highway west of Golden at the Quartz Creek Bridge.

RCMP said the driver claimed he hit some bumps in the road which caused him to leave the highway.

Originally RCMP were informed that the driver may have been carrying nitrous oxide.

The RCMP contacted the Golden Fire Department who took every precaution in the situation. Firefighters in protective gear checked out the vehicle.

It was determined that the truck was carrying goods that were only minimally dangerous. None of the load escaped the vehicle.

RCMP wish to remind the public and the drivers of these commercial vehicles to pay close attention when driving in the area.

They added that one of the things that causes many accidents are drivers who are not paying attention to the roads.

People are also reminded to give proper space between vehicles especially on the highways.

This is important because it will allow a response time to slow down for animals or bad potholes which might not be seen otherwise.

Behind the Wheel The Government Didn’t Tell Me I’ve been watching a number of conversations in the newspaper and social media lately, mostly with regard to B.C.’s slow down, move over law, but including changes to other traffic laws as well. The general theme has been that the government has been doing a poor job of telling the public what the new laws are and how we are supposed to follow them.

Perhaps I am sensitive to road safety topics and pay more than the average attention to them but I must disagree with this.

There was significant publicity of the slow down, move over law both prior to and when it was enacted. I saw it on TV, in the newspaper and heard about it on the radio. I continue to pass large signs beside the highway that tell me what to do. I’ve seen articles on television and in print publications recently.

Twenty years of support from Sobey’s Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden’s Welcome Wagon co-ordinator, Ellen Hatlevik, made a special presentation to Cam Dawes of Golden Sobey’s, to commemorate the store for being part of Welcome Wagon for 20 years.

“It’s such a nice community service for our new residents, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it,” said Dawes.

“I find that it’s a lot of fun, and it’s been great for my business as well,” said Hatlevik, who also sells Mary Kay. “It’s also a great way to promote shopping locally.”

Sobey’s is now the longest serving Golden business with the Welcome Wagon.

“It really adds something to the small town feel of Golden,” said Dawes.

Any business wanting to sponsor the Welcome Wagon can contact Hatlevik at ehatlevik@gmail.com.

What may be closer to the truth is that we are bombarded by too much information every day. To cope with it, we ignore or do not apply full focus to all of the messages that are being given to us. As long as no damage is done to us or by us because of this, it isn’t a significant problem. However, if common sense doesn’t kick in soon enough and we receive a ticket or hurt someone it’s probably not the government’s fault here.

We may wish to be careful how we complain on this subject. Possible alternatives could include mandatory testing before licence renewal with shorter licence renewal periods to make sure that we are up to date. As with any other important skill, we have a stake in keeping ourselves up to date in order to remain proficient. It’s not just a job for our government.

Star EDITORIAL

Earth Day all year long

A Conservative Candidate

Earth Day has once again come and gone, and the local people did their part in cleaning up Golden.

It is nice to have a day that focuses on looking after the environment you live in. But it is also a touch depressing that doing something once a year can be made into such a big deal.

We are lucky in Can- My Way ada to live in country that is so full of many

By Darryl Crane wonderful natural resources. There are many people who dedicate their lives to the world we live in, but sometimes the goal of looking after the earth and what people are doing is a battle. We do not have to look very far to find a discussion about the environment.

Currently in the British Columbia provincial election, questions regarding what to do about a proposed pipeline to the west coast has put leaders on opposite sides of the debate. The NDP have taken a stance against the project, while Premier Christy Clark is making a push for a greater share of the revenue from the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. The Conservative’s leader John Cummins has confirmed his party’s support for a deal.

Even closer to the area is a battle that has raged for more than twenty years.

The Jumbo Glacier Resort project has been debated for a number of years, and now looks like it is making steps to move forward. However, both individuals and groups have come out against the project, for what has been at least partially described as the negative effects it might have on the development area .

Even when you look at all of the national parks that surround Golden, one might wonder how much access people should have in natural areas.

Of course, these types of discussions are nothing new.

For years people have heard scientists and politicians talk about global warming. If you go online you will find all types of information about how the earth we live on is changing, and what we can supposedly do to make it a better place for future generations.

Like many things, people seem to need that one time of the year to join up to do something to make themselves feel better. A day with a cause is required to get more people involved.

There are other things that can be done continually that may eventually help out more than just the one day a year of cleaning up.

Don’t litter in the first place.

If you see garbage on the ground why not pick it up and throw it away regardless of if it is Earth Day, or one of the other 364 days on a calender.

There are many issues facing the future, and to say that picking up garbage will save the world from some impending doom would be a huge overstatement. But one thing would come out of this small action.

The town we live in would look a little nicer today, and isn’t that worth the effort?

As a former member of the B.C. Liberal Party and a supporter of the federal Conservative Party I’m extremely pleased that Earl Olsen is the B.C. Conservative candidate for Columbia River-Revelstoke.

We need choices and need to be able to vote for a candidate and party that represents a change from the two old, mainstream, status quo political parties.

We need to be able to vote for a party that will govern with integrity, a party that will be open and honest with its citizens, a party that will apply sound and prudent fiscal and economic principals to manage and restore the province’s finances, a party that will work to create meaningful jobs for all people throughout the province, a party that believes in being socially responsible and compassionate and a party that knows we need to take meaningful and measurable steps to protect our environment.

Liberal scare tactics just won’t work in this election. It’s ordinary folks who will decide which party will get to lead this province for the next four years. The more choices our citizens have, the stronger our democracy becomes.

I welcome the opportunity to hear the Liberal Party and candidates defend their track record. The more it’s examined, it becomes clear we need a new party and candidates who believe in open and transparent government, the free enterprise system, fiscal responsibility and personal accountability.

We don’t need another four years of Liberal mis-

Positive choice In the upcoming election we are fortunate to have three great candidates from whom to choose. However, only Earl Olsen, the BC Conservative candidate, represents a new positive choice for voters in this electoral district. I am confused by Cliff Boychuk’s recent letter to the editor where he did not acknowledge that in the previous two elections, the Liberal Party candidate did not win either time. The logical question is WHY NOT? And the answer is likely that the candidates did not, have not, and do not represent the values of many voters in this constituency. Do you really believe that your candidate can win by default against the NDP? Conservatives are not here to split the vote, we are here to WIN. I am glad I have a positive choice in Earl Olsen. He understands the importance of every region in British Columbia because British Columbia is more than simply

management, arrogance and fiscal irresponsibility.

When you go to vote think of these BC Liberal programs, initiatives and fiascos: HST, BC Rail scandal, Carbon Tax (costs you money every time you fill up your car and truck), Carbon Offset Program (has wasted millions, rewarded big business and done nothing to improve the environment) money that could have been spent on education and health care, increased BC Ferry fees, increased ICBC fees, increased electricity rates, increased government spending, increased government debt, smart meters, expensive and extravagant pensions and salaries for MLAs, privatization of waterways and streams and the money wasted at Crown corporations on excessive salaries, benefits and perks for executives and senior managers.

After 12 years of Liberal government incompetence I think you’ll agree we need a change. With the BC Liberal track record; the party, its candidates and supporters like Cliff Boychuk should be concerned about splitting the vote. If they had any common sense they would stop campaigning and rally around the BC Conservative Party.

Think carefully before you vote on May 14. There is a party that represents real change, will bring common sense to government decisions, believes in free enterprise and is not concerned about how many other political parties are competing for your vote. It’s the B.C. Conservative Party.

Bob Munro Golden major cities. You mention, “chaos, higher taxation, and stagnant economic growth.”

You also mention that “we desperately require a government that can generate additional wealth” and that the needs of schools, hospitals and the environment have been ignored. You want to limit us to voting Liberal or NDP who have obviously failed to deliver on these issues over the past 20 years, unless you believe that increasing provincial debt is creating wealth. Who became wealthy during the past 20 years? Are you better off? With a positive choice in Earl Olsen, Conservative candidate, we can all share the wealth instead of just paying the bills.

It is dismaying that anyone would suggest restricting peoples’ choices at the constituency level. Thank you, Earl Olsen, for giving us a positive choice in Columbia River-Revelstoke and the opportunity to vote Conservative.

Feedback to Editor: Hollow promises Dear Editor, In my Jr. High School one of our student council presidents was elected with one simple promise; cream soda in the water fountains!

This promise coupled with the candidate’s popularity and charisma landed him the job!

I could have sworn I was back in Grade 9 sitting in the Gilbert Patterson gym at the All Candidates Forum in Invermere. Our incumbent MLA, Norm Macdonald, was as smooth as ever and came across quite polished and charismatic; quite convincing indeed as long as you didn’t pay too much attention to what he was saying.

Macdonald was quick to point out that

we are deep in debt - pointing the finger of blame solely at the BC Liberals despite the global economic meltdown and $1.7 billion that was returned to the federal government following the abolishment of the HST which the NDP lead the charge on for their own political gain.

Macdonald went on to promise massive spending increases, 18 specific occasions during the evening! Nothing was left out; education, healthcare, seniors, forestry, etc, etc, etc! Money is NO object seemed to be the order of the evening, much to the delight of about half of those in attendance whilst the other half sat bewildered wondering where the money was coming from.

Perhaps the money would come from promoting new business ventures in our province? Not so! On five separate occasions Macdonald vowed that his party would not support projects that will con-

ashamed to deny a living creature water and food. You know who you are, and everyone will too.

Stingers to drivers who drive slowly in the passing lane, and then speed up when you try to pass them.

Stars to Joe D. for being so considerate and delivering a cake on Sunday morning.

Stars to the nice young man (with a skate-

board?) outside OK Tire who offered to help me with my bike. Very considerate!

Stars to Personal Touch for being family friendly by asking parents if it’s OK to give their child a lollipop after a haircut.

Stars to the brave women who expressed themselves for the Clothesline Project and to all the people who came the GWRC barbecue to support the safe home program.

Email your Stars and Stingers to editor@thegoldenstar.net tribute over a TRILLION dollars to the B.C. economy and will literally create over 20,000 jobs...once again with the same reaction from the not so like-minded sides of the room.

Who will pay for this increase in spending and decrease in contribution to our economy? The answer was simple - it would come from those of you who run your own businesses, offer products and services at reasonable prices and provide jobs. An increase in taxes on business owners and successful British Columbians were the only increases that Macdonald even mentioned to offset his party’s proposed spending spree!

On the flip side of this - Mr. Clovechok (Doug Clovechok, running for the BC Liberals) stayed clear of plying the room with cream soda! He was realistic about spending and expectations in our current financial climate. Instead of woo-

ing the room with flowery platitudes that evoked enthusiastic response he vowed that he and his party would support an increase in economic activity and funding for training for a work force that would provide jobs for families, increase our quality of living and would provide the funds necessary to maintain the high quality of education, healthcare, infrastructure and delivery of government services that we deserve. Hope for a bright future and a sensible way to pay for it...simple!

Don’t be fooled by hollow promises! The recently departed Margaret Thatcher put it best “Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They [socialists] always run out of other people’s money.” I’d say she is spot on here!

China’s largest bank part of financing of Kitimat Clean Refinery Black Press Kitimat Clean Ltd and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China’s largest bank, signed Memorandums of Understanding today. The principal provisions of the MOUs state that ICBC will be Chinese financial advisor to Kitimat Clean and co-operate in the financing of the proposed Kitimat refinery and associated pipelines and other elements.

Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery. Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India.

Majority control of all the proposed Canadian busi-

nesses will remain in Canada and there will be 6,000 construction jobs created for British Columbians over five years, and 3,000 permanent jobs.

More MOUs between Kitimat Clean and Chinese companies are anticipated in the near future.

The project will include a state-of-the-art world scale oil refinery at Kitimat. It may also include a pipeline between Edmonton and Kitimat, a marine terminal, and a fleet of tankers for the refined fuels.

The total cost could amount to $25 billion.

It will be the largest investment in B.C. in the history of the province.

It will also provide far more permanent jobs than any other investment has done and generate very large tax

revenues for the government.

LIU Yanping, Deputy Head of Corporate Banking Department, and HUANG Jifa, Deputy Head of Investment Banking Department, signing on behalf of ICBC, stated, “We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the future.”

David Black, owner of Kitimat Clean, said, “A great advantage of the refinery is that it will prevent the shipment of bitumen in tankers off B.C.’s mid-coast.

In addition it will reduce global greenhouse gas emissions because it will replace refineries elsewhere that are built to less stringent environmental standards.”

Golden Moments: A long journey to find a new home in Golden Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Jette Arkinstall was born in Copenhagen, Denmark where she lived with her family. At the age of nine a decision was made to move to Canada.

She remembers a great deal about her time in Denmark.

“I remember living in this big apartment house. It was a square, and in the middle there was a play yard and clotheslines for the tenets,” she said.

“There were lots of bicycles because people there did not drive too much.”

As a child Arkinstall and her sister would spend a great deal of time at the beach with their parents.

“I remember going down to the ocean and going swimming because we lived right next to it. We spent a lot of time there in the summer,” she said.

When she was nine the decision was made by her parents to come to Canada and live with her uncle who was living in Radium Hot Springs.

“He talked my dad into coming over so we sold everything and made the move.”

The family made the journey on a large ship which gave her a great deal of enjoyment during the trip.

“I had fun on the boat. My mom was sick as a dog but my sister, dad and I were not sick. I made friends with all the waiters and they would give me oranges that people did not take with them from meals. So I had a lot of oranges,” she said.

After landing in New York, the family took a train to Toronto before making

their way to Brooks, Alberta where they were met by her aunt and uncle.

“We drove to Radium where we lived and stayed for a while,” she said.

Arkinstall said she particularly enjoyed her time in Radium Hot Springs.

“The water came right out of the rocks. It was all old rocks which is not what it is like now with the cement. The hot pools were very different. You could see all the ice hanging off the rocks.

Every time I go there now I think about how it is so commercialized,” she said.

Eventually, her father got a job at the mill in Parson and the family moved there.

“When you come into Parson there is a little log cabin down in a hole filled with water. We lived in that cabin,” she said.

Arkinstall said that her father used to bike back and forth to work because they still did not have a car. When the family got a vehicle many people in the town would use it.

“We enjoyed ourselves in Parson because you never had to lock the doors or anything. We would leave the keys in our truck and if we got up in the morning and the truck was gone we would wonder who took it. A little later someone would bring it back full of gas and say they needed to get some wood.”

Once a week the family would come into Golden and Arkinstall would get the chance to go to the movies.

“Mom would give me a dime to go to the show. I would go to the show and they would go shopping,” she said.

Another pastime Arkinstall had as a

StarCROSSWORD

child was a passion for comic books.

“I loved them when I was growing up.

I enjoyed Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger. I liked all the cowboys,” she said.

Arkinstall got married in the late 1950s and moved to Hazelton and the to Houston, before moving back to Golden in 1969.

“Golden was the same as when I left.

There were the old buildings and I enjoyed the old shops like King’s Store,” she said.

One of the changes she has enjoyed in Golden is the Pedestrian Bridge over the Kicking Horse River.

“I love that bridge. It is very nice,” she said.

Arkinstall also said she enjoyed raising her six children (five girls and one boy) over the years.

Her son was the baby of the group, and may have been spoiled a little by everyone according to Arkinstall.

“They spoiled him rotten,” she said laughing. “He had a very interesting childhood growing up with five older sisters.”

She added that the area was a wonderful place to be raised as a child or to raise children.

“When I was a kid we had bonfires and Halloween was great.”

An avid athlete, Arkinstall also returned to bowling and curling when she came back to Golden.

“I only gave up curling because my legs did not move as well as I wanted them to. That’s when I took up golfing,” she said.

She added that one of the best parts about golfing is getting to meet so many

Jette Arkinstall has lived in many communities in the Columbia Valley but has called Golden home for over four decades.

Darryl Crane/ Star Photo different people on the course.

“I can hardly wait to get out there. I golf three or four times a week. You get to talk to people and I like to golf with people from out of town,” she said. “At first some of them think that they are golfing with an old lady but by the time we are finished they think it was the best golf round they have ever had.”

Know How to MaxiMize your Dental insurance Plan

Dental plans in the marketplace are numerous and varied. Dental offices can have thousands of plans in their system with each plan having different variables and parameters of coverage.

Offices do everything possible to ensure you get the most potential from your plan; however, insurance companies will not keep us informed of any plan limit adjustments or additional benefits your coverage may offer. Dental professionals need to treat conditions not covered by plans and this happens all the time. Generally, what a plan covers is related to the fee charged to the employer/employee for the plan. In other words, the higher the premium, the greater the dental coverage.

One example of coverage you may not be taking full advantage of is cleaning appointments. Most insurance plans allow a full exam and cleaning every 6-9 months.

What you may not know is that many plans also cover additional cleaning appointments without the exam. You may be eligible for up to 4 cleaning appointments every 12 months. Increased maintenance leads to better prevention!

Examples of common plan limitations are dollar limits set on x-rays or on a specific tooth, eligibility of consults or fluoride, and fee guide variances. Often dental insurance plans don’t use the current provincial fee guide, trailing behind by as much as 5 years from the current cost structure. If you are unsure about the specific details of your plan, get in touch with them and make sure you are getting the most out of the monthly premiums you pay!

Get dental treatment based on your needs, not just based on your plan, but do take advantage of all benefits your plan may offer!!

Pictured above is the interior of the Golden Curling Rink during a masquerade skating party. Built by local builder James Henderson in 1898, this building served the needs of the community until the early 1960s when it became not only dangerous to use but also didn’t have an ice plant to ensure ice each season. It was located on the lot behind the present day Apostoles Restaurant.

A look at the history of curling in Golden

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

Thank you to Julia Cundliffe for bringing in this letter hand written by Thomas King.

It tells the story of the beginnings of curling in Golden.

During the late 1880s a few men had settled in Golden who had enjoyed the game of curling in their previous locations and to get the game started here they has a club formed, bought two tents 16 feet wide and 80 feet long, put them end to end and this made one sheet of regulation size.

The rings then covered 14 feet of ice

– some years later reduced to 12 feet.

This was used for a couple of seasons when they built a frame rink. Then they decided it should be a two rink building with accommodation also for skating.

This very large building was built in the summer and fall of 1898 by contractor Mr. James Henderson Sr. for the cost of $2,500.

The first season it was used they had a curling sheet in the outside of the skating ice in the centre.

They played some hockey and had to put wire netting on both sides and at the end next to the waiting room.

This did not seem very satisfactory so for the next season they added a lean to on at that west end so they could skate around the outside and curl in the middle.

This was much more satisfactory and 50 to 60 skaters were enjoying the outside

circuit every night but no more hockey inside.

The community carried on under the Charter of the Golden Rink Co. and in later years made repairs and additions to the building so that when vacated it was more satisfactory than in the early years – but on the outside it looked very bad.

Even in the early 1890s Golden was well represented at the Calgary Bonspiel – the nearest curling club to Golden, The principal players going there the first few years were Wm NcNeish, C.A. Warren, H.G. Parson, Capt. Bacon – the latter was Golden’s star lead never having played at any other position in his 20 years with the club.

Other early day players were Manuel Dainard, Walter Dainard, Dave Rae, Hon F.W. Aylmer, Gordon Brock, Jack Buckham, Doctor Taylor, Thomas King, Sam King, Harry Pugh, Alex Smith,

Geo Sinclair, Geo B. McDermot, J.E. Griffith, James Sherlock, Wynn Griffith, Bob Stalker, Fred Stalker, George Woodley.

J.G. Bullock came here from Schrieber NW Ontario where he operated a general store was the best curler we had here in the early days.

He came here in 1898 and in partnership with his brother in law to be they operated the Kootenay House Hotel.

We played points every Friday night in the real early years and he was a consistent winner. In this game every shot known to curling is played. It was a treat to see him play.

Since the time of the players mentioned the turnover of curlers has numbered into the hundreds in the 71 years since.

I joined the club here. I played for 68 seasons with the Golden Club establishing a worlds record as far as can be ascertained.

Local government in focus Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Politicians and municipal staff from around the region gathered at Copper Point Resort in Invermere for the annual Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments conference.

Aside from professional development, networking, and listening to some informative guest speakers, the different communities also got together to agree on some resolutions to bring to the next UBCM conference (Union of British Columbia Municipalities), which will hopefully then be passed onto the provincial government.

Resolutions, proposed by individual communities or regional districts, were discussed, debated, and then voted on during the conference.

These resolutions help identify priorities for the region, and let the province know how they can assist municipalities on local problems.

Issues as diverse as policing problems, agriculture, urban wildlife, and property assessments.

The first resolution passed was one that has been an issue for most municipalities across the country. The granting system needs to be looked at to find a new approach that would allow municipalities to set priorities within their budgets, instead of choosing certain projects only because those are the grants that are available.

Invermere put forward a resolution, requesting the province take some responsibility for their deer problem. They are asking that the province, who owns the deer, resume responsibility and/or provide adequate funding to effectively manage and mitigate the impacts of urban wildlife.

Golden did not put forward any resolutions, but many that were passed impact some or all of the communities in the Kootenays.

These resolutions will be discussed at UBCM, and hopefully put some pressure on the provincial, and even federal governments, to make some changes.

Literacy contest review leads to a night at the movies Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net A local family won the Family Literacy Day contest and will

now get the opportunity to go out to the movies.

Katrina Wiens and her children Madeline, Hannah and David won the Family

Literacy Day contest by writing a review of Ice Age 4 - a movie they watched during the Family Literacy Day event on January 27.

Attention Parents of Preschoolers!

You and your children are invited to attend

R E A D Y, S E T, N A T U R E !

Monday, April 29th, 2013 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Nicholson Elementary School Play games, make crafts, sing with Mother Goose, and enjoy a snack with us!

If you would like more information please contact NES (250-344-2370) or Jane Powell (250-939-8162).

This event is sponsored by Nicholson School and Ready, Set Learn Initiative of the B.C. Ministry of Education.

Madeline and Hannah (ages eight and six) wrote: “We loved watching Ice Age. It was fun, silly and scary too. We liked the characters Cyrene and Peaches the best. Cyrene was pretty, yet fierce and brave.”

Talking and writing about the movie was a great way for the family to participate in a fun literacy activity.

The review, in this case, was also a way to win a $50 gift certificate for the Kicking Horse Movie Theatre. The girls have said they are excited to use the gift certificate so that their family can watch a 3D movie together.

Literacy Day activities in Golden were supported by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL).

Pictured are Katrina Wiens and her children Madeline, Hannah and David, winners of the Family Literacy Day contest.

People gathered in Kumsheen Park as part of the Golden Women’s Resource Centre, Clothesline Project.

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo

Getting in line in the park Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Kumsheen Park was full of community supporters for the Golden Women’s Resource Centre and their Clothesline Project on April 18.

The centre held a barbecue to raise funds for their Safe Home Program, and to show off some of the shirts that people have made, depicting their experiences with violence against women.

The Clothesline Project and the fundraising barbecue were to mark British Columbia’s Violence Against Women Week. The initiative raises awareness for a woman’s right to live free of violence, and encourages the growth in programs that assist women who are fleeing violence, such as Golden’s Safe Home Program.

The program offers a 24-hour crisis line, temporary confidential shelter, supportive crisis counselling, safety planning assistance and much more for women in need.

For more information on the Golden Women’s Resource Centre and their services, go to www.goldenwomencentre.ca.

A taste of psychobilly/horror punk Golden Star Staff reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden Delicious and the Rockwater Grill and Bar are bringing in a band that can only be described as psychobilly/horror punk The Brains.

The Montreal band has made a reputation for themselves as the insanest, undeadest, and bestest psychobilly horror punk bands out there. Not exactly ones to follow the rules, they have brought their eye-popping live show to the four corners of the world.

Since the release of the third self-titled fulllength album in early 2009, The Brains have been on a never-ending tour, steadily make their mark across Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Their two video singles for Gone and Turn Around enjoyed tons of airplay on Much Music.

They’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside acts like Mad Sin, The Offspring, The Reverend Horton Heat, The Real McKenzies, The Creepshow and many more.

The Brains continue to blur the lines between rockabilly, psycho, punk, rock and roll - kicking down genre barriers and earning undying loyalty at every show they play.

Incorporating whatever they feel like, The Brains are as versatile as they are deadly.

Now, with the release of The Monster Within, the band is embarking on a massive western Canadian tour, making a stop in Golden on May 15 to play at the Rockwater. Cover is only $5.

BAPTISTE MORIGEAU - MÉTIS MERCHANT

There will be a small ceremony recognizing the family of Baptiste Morigeau and other honored guests at 4:15.

Traditional Metis soup, bannock and tea will be served to the first 200 people who attend! Everyone welcome!

Illness affects everyone Julia Cundliffe Golden Hospice Society In the long and often painful journey one goes through when a lifethreatening illness overtakes a loved one, family caregivers are always those that suffer along with the patient; yet their needs are often overlooked.

When we think of the dying, our first thoughts are with respect to the dying person. But the assistance provided by family caregivers is often the cornerstone of the care the family member receives.

Quality end of life care can only be achieved when not only the dying person, but also their family and volunteer caregivers are provided with assistance and support that they require and deserve. This is why, particularly for volunteers, training is important so that quality care is available to the whole family. The training and knowledge of the volunteers also guides them to also realize that they must care for themselves in order to provide healthy caring assistance to the client.

The Golden Hospice Society has been operating in this community for the past 13 years and over this period has had the privilege of assisting several families and individuals in need of this service. These volunteers are trained, confidential persons who are willing to give their time to those who particularly do not have immediate family members in the area. For those people not aware of how to contact this service, a referral to the local group can be made through your doctor, nursing staff, family member or your pastor. The local supervisor will then meet with you to discuss your needs and how volunteers can assist you .

More volunteers are always needed and a training session for volunteers is scheduled for Tuesday, April 30 in Golden and for more information, please call 250 344-6300.

The Regional Concours d’art oratoire was held in Cranbrook with participating students in Grades 6 to 10 from Golden, Fernie and Cranbrook. The following students for Lady Grey Elementary School attended the event- Maeve Wilson, Robert Caldwell, Carrington Mitchell, Madeline Archibald, Syenna Mitchell, Kayla Taphorn, Claire Fraser, Tige Lussier.

After almost 34 years with Parks Canada, Karen Tierney will retire from the Parks Canada Agency on May 24, 2013. Karen began her journey in Pukaskwa National Park as a student delivering school programs. Karen backpacked and canoed this wilderness and shared stories of the land with school children, National Geographic, and people such as Bill Mason.

Karen then moved to the Rideau Canal National Historic Site where she led a team in the development of a safety rails policy for canals that addressed Labour Canada concerns and respected the Cultural Resource Management Policy.

In 1995, Karen became the marketing specialist in the Ontario Regional Office, where she worked with sites across the province on diverse projects, including: the development of a corporate sponsorship and fundraising strategy for Point Pelee National Park; the design and implementation of a marketing training workshop that was delivered to staff via integrated site teams; and the development of the exhibit design for the Hamilton Discovery Centre. In 2004, Karen became Director of Leadership and Development where she developed the Parks Canada Learning Strategy, established the Leadership and Learning unit, developed the middle manager learning programs and led the Leadership Network in organizing ConneXions 2006, a forum that brought together over 400 middle and senior managers to discuss leadership.

Karen returned to the field in 2008 as Field Unit Superintendent for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks where she led the development of an integrated management plan for the two national parks and Rogers Pass National Historic Site. Karen also supported staff in the development of a strategy for maintaining caribou on the landscape, the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Canada’s worst avalanche disaster and the celebration of 125 years of Glacier National Park. Being back in the field has brought Karen’s Parks Canada’s journey full circle.

Parks Canada is thankful to Karen for her lifetime of service, integrity and many exceptional contributions to the Agency and wish her the very best during her well-earned retirement.

Operation Palaci, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) contribution to avalanche control in British Columbia, has concluded after a successful season. Since November of last year, troops from 1 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (RCHA) have been working closely with Parks Canada Agency (PCA) ensuring the Trans-Canada Highway, which is vital for our economy, stays open and safe during the winter months. The CAF annually provide artillery support under the supervision of PCA, specifically in the Rogers Pass region of Glacier National Park, to trigger controlled avalanches before they become a threat.

“It has been a successful season of avalanche control and I am proud of our troops for their hard work, dedication, and interoperability with our Parks Canada Agency partners,” said Rear Admiral Bill Truelove, Commander of Joint Task Force Pacific. “Our close relationship with Parks Canada Agency ensures the

safety and prosperity of Canadians as we work together to keep Rogers Pass, a key tourist and economic artery of Canada, safe and open for business.”

The high altitude pass is a difficult environment with annual snow fall averaging 12 metres and with more than 130 avalanche paths crossing the highway.

While Parks Canada monitors snow, weather and avalanche activity and calculates its implications, the 1 RCHA troop is ready to mobilize to any one of the 17 artillery platforms and fire a C3 105-mm Howitzer into the side of hazardous area in order to prevent a serious avalanche. This year, 1 RCHA fired 411 rounds, and caused 245 controlled avalanche slides.

“We are proud of our more than 50-year partnership with the Canadian Armed Forces in operating the world’s largest mobile avalanche control program,” said Jeff Goodrich, Parks Canada Senior Avalanche Officer. “Together, under Op Palaci, we have completed another successful winter keeping the Trans Canada and CP rail transportation corridors open and safe from avalanches.”

Little Mittens launches Low Income Spay and Neuter Voucher Project Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Thanks to some funding from the Columbia Basin

Trust, Little Mittens Animal Rescue Association was able to launch a new Low Income Spay & Neuter Voucher Project.

The funding came

from CBT’s Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Grant, and will help low income pet owners in Golden spay or neuter their

cats.

“We’re very grateful for the continued support from CBT for our initiatives,” said Jamie Crawford, the program admin-

Request for Quotations Municipal Roadway Line Painting (2013-2015) The Town of Golden invites quotations for municipal roadway line painting for a three (3) year term. Proposals shall include cost allowances for all necessary materials, equipment, labour, supervision, and all other requirements to complete the deliverables for this contract.

The RFQ document is available free of charge at Town Hall during regular business hours at 810 9th Ave South, Golden, B.C. Proponents may also email ops@golden.ca to request an electronic version of the RFQ. Prospective bidders are highly encouraged to view the work required prior to submitting a proposal.

Sealed quotations clearly marked “Municipal Roadway Line Painting” will be received prior to May 1st, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., local time, at Town Hall located at 810 S. 9th Avenue, PO Box 350, Golden, BC V0A 1H0 All general and technical inquiries may be directed to: Chris Cochran, Manager of Operations Phone: 250-344-2271 Fax: 250-344-6577 Email: ops@golden.ca

istrator with Little Mittens.

The program was launched on April 1, and will continue until Dec. 31 of this year, provided the funding lasts that long.

“There is a limited amount of funding, so if it runs out prior to Dec. 31, the project will end early,” said Crawford.

“It’s best to get applications in as soon as possible, especially since kitten season is getting into full swing now that spring has arrived.”

Little Mittens has been focusing on the feral cat population for the past two years. But they haven’t been able to address a significant

contributing factor, unsterilized cats with owners, until now.

“It’s important to remember that cat over-population problems begin because pet owners do not ‘fix’ their animals, and then it quickly gets out of control,” said Crawford. “We realize that spay and neuter surgeries are expensive and are often out of the realm of affordability for many families and individuals in Golden. We wanted to run a project that could help with this.”

The program is available to all residents of Golden and District with cats.

Interested applicants can fill out an

application form (available at Cats to Cattle, or by emailing Little Mittens).

Proof of income may be required to determine eligibility.

Approved individuals will be provided with a voucher for up to five feline spay and/or neuter procedures, valid at either the Invermere Veterinary Hospital, or Columbia Veterinary Services in Golden.

The cost of a voucher is a minimum donation of $10 per cat. If you have any questions about the program, or would like to fill out a application form, you can email Crawford at littlemittensrescue@ gmail.com.

Things are about to get even more bizarre during Bizarro Days Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Between April 28 to May 5, Bizarre Entertainment is having a week’s worth of celebrations called, Bizarro Days, for the customers.

“I wanted to reward my customers and the area with a fun set of events and a great sale. It really started with international free comic book day, which is held at all comic shops on the first Saturday in May. I thought it would be great to add more days and to combine the events with other stuff we could do at the store. I thought Bizarro World and Bizarro Superman were crazy characters when I was growing up, and thought the title would fit great with Bizarre Entertainment,” said owner of Bizarre Entertainment, Trevor Hamre. “This is totally a week that has something for everyone.

At the very least we have 10 per cent off all our merchandise all week with more off selected items each day.”

On Saturday May 4 it will be Free Comic Book Day at the store.

“Free comic book day is for everyone.

The idea is that you can come into the store and we will have dozens of different comics to choose from. People can choose a few and take them home to read. We have comics for the young folks like Archie or Disney comics, and for adults ones like the Walking Dead. It is also a day where we have a prizes for best costumed super hero or villain, either way we should have a prize for anyone that dresses up. It can often create a festive atmosphere and we usually post pic-

Bizarro Days is a week where x 2”we can say thank you for doing business Day are especially a blast. Not10.3125” to mention

with us by offering discounts and events as an annual celebration.”

Celiac Disease Awareness Month Canadian Celiac Association Submitted The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) is excited to unveil the theme of this year’s Celiac Disease Awareness Month: The Right to Safe Food for Canadians.

Alongside the push is the continuing rapid expansion of the Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP), which is the only Canadian voluntary certification program designed for manufacturers of gluten-free food, drug and pharmaceutical products who want to make their product stand out in the clutter of glutenfree claims.

“The market for gluten-free foods in Canada is estimated at approximately $400 million,” points out Brian Benwell, President of the CCA. “The GFCP is about applying globally recognized food safety management principles to ensure safe, gluten-free products for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.”

Certified products can bear the trusted mark of the CCA, and the program includes a rigourous verification and regular audits. The GFCP is a win-win program for manufacturers and retailers, because having the backing of the CCA, the trusted national voice of Canadians with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, means that consumers will be able to shop with confidence.

“Previously, a person with celiac disease going grocery shopping had to scrutinize every label and decode mysterious ingredient names,” notes Peter Taylor, Executive Director of the CCA. “The GFCP simplifies the shopping process while increasing assurances of safety for the consumer. With the GFCP, everybody wins.”

Along with the rapid expansion of the GFCP, the CCA’s Right to Safe Food campaign includes the development of science-based modules to train food service staff in how to safely serve gluten-free foods, and in particular avoid the hazard of cross-contamination.

The CCA is also looking to expand a program, completed successfully in PEI, to distribute to retirement homes an educational package on serving safe, gluten-free foods to those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
