In effort to increase the longevity of the Golden Landfill, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District is going to start a composting program.

Golden residents will now be asked to separate their wood waste from their yard and garden waste when they take it to the Golden Landfill.

“We are now separating those materials because we’re going to begin an organic com-

posting system,” said CSRD Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell. “Our goal is to keep organic material out of the landfill and use it for a more beneficial purpose.”

In the past, wood waste was chipped along with yard and garden waste and the product was used on site in various ways.

“We used to use it as an alternate daily over for the garbage, or as fill for wet areas. We will continue to use wood waste for that purpose, but we’re going to separate out the yard and garden waste because that will give us a usable product, and drastically cut down what is stay-

ing at the site. Whatever we can do to extend the life of the landfill will save Golden residents money,” said Fennell.

The yard and garden material without any contaminants is referred to as “organic waste.”

It will be composted in rows, and the material being collected now will be the first batch of compost. This usable compost takes about a year to produce, so is expected to be ready for residents to purchase in 2014. continued on page 4

Fire equipment getting second life Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Fire Department has found a way to take some of their outdated equipment, and put it to good use.

“All of our equipment has a strict end date,” said Fire Chief Ken McClure. “But other countries have different standards and policies, and they can still get some use out of it.”

The department has donated 18 self-contained breathing apparatus to Firefighters Without Borders Canada.

The organization lends a helping hand to developing countries by delivering equipment, training, or financial aid to emergency service organizations with a demonstrated need.

More than 90 per cent of those affected by natural and human-caused disasters (such as fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and landslides), live in developing countries, yet their emergency services are often poorly equipped.

The breathing apparatus from Golden could go to help as many as five countries.

Campfire incidents cause concern Jordan Turner Fire Information Officer Southeast Fire Centre A surge in the number of abandoned or unattended campfires combined with high temperatures throughout the Southeast Fire Centre has fire officials urging recreationalists to be extremely careful with campfires.

Fire wardens have responded to 29 campfire incidents since Thursday, July 18, raising the number of incidents to 104 already this season. Most of these campfire incidents occurred over the July 19-21 weekend.

Every person-caused fire is preventable.

These incidents tie-up valuable resources and may delay our crews from responding to a naturally occurring wildfire.

Currently, there are six lightning-caused wildfires burning in the Southeast Fire Centre.

Five of these are less than one hectare in size.

One fire on Perry Ridge, about 4.5 kilometres west of Winlaw, is approximately 35 hectares in size. There are no roads or structures near the fire and due to its remoteness, this fire

is currently being attacked by air resources.

Helicopter rappel crews are building helipads to accommodate firefighters who have started building a guard around the fire.

The Fire Danger Rating is currently moderate to high in the Southeast Fire Centre, with pockets of extreme fire danger near Revelstoke, Grand Forks, Creston and Cranbrook.

Quick Facts: * Since April 1, the Southeast Fire Centre has responded to 60 wildfires, 29 of which were person-caused. * Leaving a campfire unattended can result in a $345 fine. If your campfire causes a wildfire, you may also be held liable for suppression costs and damages. * To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *5555 on your cell phone or 1-800663-5555 toll-free.

GADSAR members train for high angle rescues at a Mountain Rescue Course.

Photo Submitted

GADSAR helps stranded rafters Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net During their down time in the summer months, the Golden and District Search and Rescue has been focusing on their training, while still helping out some people in need.

GADSAR was called out on three missions in June and July.

They were called out to assist the Golden Fire Department, RCMP, and BC Ambulance Service in locating a group of stranded rafters.

Their raft had malfunctioned, and they were stranded along the Columbia River.

“They made it to shore, and we were out on the river trying to find them,” said Ben Tanasichuk, GADSAR’s information officer.

They deployed two kayaks and a jet boat. All members of the group were found safe.

On July 15 GADSAR was asked to assist the RCMP in a search for a missing person. The RCMP conducted the urban search, within the town borders, while GADSAR searched the trails around the edges of town.

The person was located safely.

Search and rescue was also involved in assisting an injured male climber on July 22. He was stuck 50 kilometres southwest of Golden.

He was rescued via helicopter, and transferred to the BC Ambulance Service for further care.

“It’s been pretty quiet, and that’s how it usually works out. Our winters are pretty busy,” said Tanasichuk.

In the meantime, GADSAR has been conducting some training, including an upcoming fourday mountain rescue training session, which better prepares them for high angle mountain rescues.

Although they are done with new member intake right now, GADSAR will be looking for some new people in the fall when they have a round of entry level training sessions set up.

A few months back the group received a donation from Golden Concrete. The money went towards a new iPad, which allows them to bring their maps and other information along with them while out on missions.

“That’s really awesome, it’s going to help a lot with what we do,” said Tanasichuk.

Behind the Wheel What is a Highway?

Most people would describe a highway as a stretch of lined pavement that is meant to drive vehicles on, especially outside of municipal areas. This is a highway, but it is only a narrow part of the whole definition. The Transportation Act describes a highway, and the Motor Vehicle Act includes that description and expands it.

The Transportation Act defines a highway as all public streets, roads, ways, trails, lanes, bridges, trestles, ferry landings and approaches, and any other public way. “Any other public way” can include almost anything, even a footpath in some cases. Webster’s dictionary defines public as being “for the use and benefit of all.”

The Motor Vehicle Act defines a highway as every highway within the meaning of the Transportation Act, and every road, street, lane, or right of way designed or intended for or used by the public for the passage of vehicles, and includes every private place or passageway to which the public has access or is invited to park or service vehicles.

It is clear that many places can be a highway. Great care must be taken by those who operate motor vehicles that are not licensed and insured, because they cannot be legally operated on a highway. Even coasting vehicles that are not running may be considered operating them.

Kootenay magazine brings home top honours Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Kootenays have received some national praise from the Western Magazine Awards (WMA), as Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) was named Magazine of the Year for BC/Yukon.

What’s more, KMC’s partner publication, Coast Mountain Culture (CMC), has also been awarded the Best New Magazine title.

“We were really honoured,” said KMC/CMC publisher Peter Moynes, who had the pleasure of attending the 31st annual WMAs last month. “The first thing we through of was all the support we’ve had from so many folds throughout the Kootenays, some for quite a while now — our families, all our readers, contributors and all the businesses who’ve put their trust in us.”

Several Golden businesses can put their name to that list of supporters who has helped the two magazines grow over the past 12 years of publishing.

“The crowd at the awards let out a huge cheer and applause when we won Magazine of The Year,” said Editorial Director Mitchell Scott, who also attended the event.

“We’ve been the little guys that the big guys have been watching. We’ve had all kinds of kudos from all sorts of major league print and web media titles before — everyone from the National Post to National Geographic. But to have been chosen by our peers for this, well, it’s really something extraordinary.”

KMC was up against a number of iconic Western Canadian publications including BC Business, Vancouver Magazine, Western Living and Geist. While the honours took the KMC cohorts by surprise, the awards are more than well-earned according to well-wishers at the WMAs and Canadian magazine veterans alike.

“When I first saw a copy of KMC, I couldn’t believe how polished a product it was, nor that it had emerged from a small town in B.C., of all places,” said Calgary-based writer Kevin Brooker, who is a multiple WMA winner himself.

“Most of all, however, I was heartened to see that at a

Photo Submitted time when budget constraints and changing times are forcing a lot of magazines to lower print standards, replace custom photography with stock and reduce their editorial staff, KMC and CMC were forging a really sophisticated visual and literary voice,” added Booker.

Both magazines are free, and rely entirely on advertising and distribution support. Moynes credits the magazine’s well-targeted distribution for the success, noting

+

that the publications are essentially calling cards for the places and people the magazines’ writers and photographers tell stories about.

“We live in one of the greatest places in the world. We’re blessed. And to be able to work with so many people in the communities all around us, and help build their businesses, we consider ourselves very fortunate. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone,” said Moynes.

RCMP Report: Black bear dies after vehicle incident Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Domestic Assault 07-21-2013 Golden/Field RCMP were called to a local bar at approximately 1:30 a.m.

A female struck her estranged boyfriend in the back of the head while he was seated on the patio.

The male suffered superficial lacerations while the female involved in the incident was arrested with charges forthcoming in the future.

Tent trailer on fire

RCMP attended a tent trailer fire at the Wait-a-Bit campground.

Forestry members were all ready en route to the site but the request was made to have the RCMP at the incident to keep the public back. The tent trailer was burnt to the ground but no one was injured in the fire. The occupant returned advising he had likely left a burner on inside.

Tire flies off truck 07-26-2013 A pickup truck lost a tire while driving

on the Trans Canada Highway, 10 kilometres west of Field.

The left front tire of the brand new, 2013 vehicle came off and bounced into the oncoming lane of traffic where it struck another vehicle. No one was hurt in the incident and the investigation into what caused the accident continues. RCMP said the people involved were very lucky not to have been hurt.

Bear dies in traffic accident There was a collision between a black

bear and a vehicle.

The RCMP were informed that the animal seemed to be badly injured in the incident. Upon arriving at the accident scene, the RCMP were informed the bear had died from the injuries it had sustained.

The damage to the vehicle was limited and the driver was able to continue on his journey. RCMP would like to remind drivers to pay special attention when driving as many animals have been seen near the highways and roads around Golden.

Phone Scams

Petition starts over dialysis issue Nicole Trigg Black Press

A petition with almost 1,000 signatures against removing the dialysis unit from the Invermere and District Hospital has made its way into the hands of Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald.

Macdonald, who met with Interior Health president and CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny on July 10 to discuss the controversial health care service removal, told Black Press he’ll be taking the petition to Victoria.

“We’ll enter it into the legislature,” he said. “It’s a significant number of people — I think there are 937 names on it.”

His meeting with Halpenny was “encouraging,” Macdonald said. “He was completely familiar with (the issue). No promises, but he’ll put fresh eyes onto it.”

The Golden Star reported on July 17 that equipment from the Invermere dialysis unit, which also services the Golden area, had already been moved to Sparwood Hospital and it was just a matter of scheduling before the rest of the equipment followed.

Macdonald also met with B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake on July 22, and encourages members of the public, even those who have signed the petition, to take the time to either phone into the ministry or write emails, and continue to push the issue.

“We’re into a period where there are going to be more health care cuts inevitably, simply because of the budget that was presented,” he said. “There is a growth in the amount of money that’s going to be spent on health care and there is a growth in the money that is coming to Interior Health, but it doesn’t

match the cost pressures.”

What this means is that inevitably the government will be looking for cost savings and, in the past, rural B.C. — especially smaller communities in rural B.C. — have been hit particularly hard, he said.

“These services are important, not only to the health of the population, but there’s an economic importance to them as well,” Macdonald said. “People move to communities that have good education and good health, and are reticent to do so if they see those services being diminished.

“We really have to be clear that these are services we value and that collectively we’re going to fight for them.”

Elderly people in Golden have reported receiving phone calls from someone who claims to be a family member and then attempts to get the individual to send them money.

The RCMP said the person might indicate that he is a favourite nephew, and then leaves it to the person he called to provide the missing name.

The individual then comes up with a reason (like he needs bail money or has been in an accident) and asks the person to send cash.

RCMP say this type of

fraud has been happening for a long period of time and is not uncommon.

RCMP would like to advise people to be wary of any situation where they receive a call from someone in a situation us as the one described.

Panhandling issues RCMP have noticed a rise in the number of homeless people who are being removed for illegally riding trains.

RCMP said once the people are removed from the trains they do tend to spend a number of days in Golden panhand-

ling.

The individuals are ticketed for trespassing on the trains and the RCMP have had issues and complaints that the people end up panhandling in front of local businesses.

Delays on highways RCMP would like to remind people who are travelling on local highways that there is construction currently taking place, which could cause delays. If you are going to be travelling, drivers are advised to leave earlier because delays could happen.

As the curtain closes What can I say Golden other than it has been a blast.

As I sit here writing this editorial, I know most people will not have the chance to read it until Wednesday. It just so happens that will be the day I head east out of Golden to the next journey of my life.

It is amazing how fast times has flown by.

- My Way Twenty-five months seems to have gone by in

By Darryl Crane a flash thanks mostly to so much going on in this mountain town.

When I first came to Golden many people were taking bets on how long I would be here. Many were saying I would last three or four months. I am happy to say I got to enjoy the area for many more months than that.

As I head out of Golden one last time, many things will be flowing through my mind. I have made many friends and have been very lucky with all of the things I have been involved with since coming to Golden.

When I first moved to Invermere four years ago many people I knew thought working in a small town as a reporter would be boring. This could not be farther from the truth. Bored is something I have not been for the past four years. Yes Golden, you have kept me very busy for the past two years.

As a journalist in a small town, I believe you should get to know as many people as possible because you cover everything that is going on. It is hard for me to think while sitting here about all the people I have talked to and photos I have taken.

I have been lucky enough to talk to many of the people who helped to build the community through our Golden Moments articles. History has always been a passion of mine and having people open their doors and share the stories of their lives has been special.

Of course there are also many memories that involve music. Golden is lucky to have many great musicians and music lovers who support all of the shows that come to town. Not many people in my position get the chance to take photos of Steve Earle, 54-40, Sloan, Steven Page, Ziggy Marley and the many other great shows that have been in town. My hearing may not be what it once was but it was well worth the price and I know where ever I am on August 16, a part of me will be thinking I should be taking photos in the Civic Centre.

This feeling will most likely be there as well when hockey season starts. I have enjoyed watching the Golden Rockets perform so well the past two seasons and would have enjoyed seeing them take a run at the championship again this year. But it was not only the games I enjoyed. It was also spending time with the people who came out to support the team even when the weather tried to keep us at home. Thanks to Curt, Ty, Gino, Tom and everyone else who let me be a part of the ride.

There is so much more I will remember from great nights at the fire pit, the long conversations at the cinema before going to watch a movie, heading to the top of many mountains, debates and discussions with people in the political world and so on. Life is just a ride we are all on and sometimes good things have to come to an end. All I can do in this last sentence is say thank you to all of you for the past two years and I wish nothing but the best for everyone in the future.

Star OPINION

Sensible BC gaining momentum Sensible BC has kicked off its provincial campaign to change the way the government and its law enforcement spend resources combatting marijuana.

The campaign’s ringleader, Dana Larsen, has been pounding the pavement trying to gain support, and even made a stop in Golden a few weeks back.

Whether you are for the legalization of marijuana or not, take the time to learn about Sensible BC’s campaign. This is not a fight to legalize the drug, but rather an attempt to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent properly.

The group has 90 days (beginning on Sept. 9) to gather signatures from 10 per cent of the registered voters in each electoral district. That’s roughly 40,000 signatures.

If they can accomplish this, then the Sensible Policing Act will go to a referendum, taking on the same process that the HST referendum did, likely with mailin ballots.

The Sensible Policing Act has two parts to it, the first being the decriminalization of marijuana possession.

This will amend the BC Police Act and redirect all police in the province from using any police resources, including member time, on investigations, searches, seizures, citations, arrests or detentions related solely to simple possession of cannabis.

To deal with minors, the Sensible Policing Act also adds cannabis to the section of the BC Liquor Control Act which covers minors in possession of alcohol. This will enable a police officer to confiscate cannabis from a minor, in exactly the same manner and with the same penalties as for alcohol.

Larsen has been very critical of a legal system that puts police time and resources into investigations of crimes such as the manufacturing and selling of bongs and other marijuana paraphernalia.

This change in the BC Police Act would not prohibit police from investigating trafficking, possession for the purposes of trafficking, and cultivation the way they always have.

The second part of the Sensible Policing Act formally calls upon the federal government to repeal cannabis prohibition by removing cannabis from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, or to give - Reporter’s View By Jessica Schwitek British Columbia a “Section 56” exemption, so that our province can start legally taxing and regulating cannabis, using lessons learned from alcohol and tobacco.

This does not necessarily mean the federal government would comply if the Sensible Policing Act were to pass referendum.

Our tax dollars are going to enforce the laws of our country and province, and as engaged citizens it is important to be part of the law making process.

Whether you agree with what Larsen is trying to accomplish or not, I urge you to hear him out.

In Golden, Karen Wilson has taken on the task of providing Sensible BC’s information to the public. She has everything you need on a Sensible BC-Golden Facebook page.

The more information you have the better, because whether you like it or not, this petition is gaining a lot of support, and the Sensible Policing Act could become a reality.

Dear Editor: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.

How can the IHA take away our Dialysis Unit.

Before dissolving this service, should a resolution to the staffing problem not have been the first step?

Of course the number of patients in our community requiring this service has diminished. Some have been forced to leave their homes, others are forced to administer their own treatment, or travel long distances three times a week to receive treatment.

If they take away this service now, what other services will be in jeopardy in the future? It surely is a concern for the aging population in this community.

As a resident of this valley for the past 13 years, I know I’m having second thoughts about spending my “golden years” here.

The IHA needs to understand that this service is not only in place for the locals, but also for the outlying communities and our visitors to the valley.

It seems to me there is only one solution to this problem — put a “consistent quality of care” back in the hospital for our renal patients.

We have the equipment, now put in place the necessary staff.

that often surprise the unsuspecting consumer include canned vegetables, cheeses, smoked salmon, lunch meats, baked beans, store bought bran muffins, canned soups and tomato sauces.

More obvious sources of sodium are found in the fast food items. A burger and fries meal could easily tally up 1500 milligrams of sodium.

Yet even the health conscious fast food eater can be hard pressed to find low salt options.

Some fast food restaurant salads pack in 1200 milligrams or more and a six inch sub might contain 1200-1800 milligrams of sodium, remember that’s almost double in a foot long!

Here are a few strategies to reduce your salt intake. When eating out order dressings on the side and watch out for foods described as pickled, marinated, smoked, barbequed, teriyaki, soy sauce, broth, miso, gravy, bacon and, of course, salted. Look for products that contain less than 200 milligrams of sodium per serving.

Be aware of serving sizes and think about how many servings you usually eat. What may seem like only a small amount of sodium can add up fast as you double or triple the servings.

Thoroughly rinse canned foods. And of course, the best way to avoid a high salt diet is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, choose whole foods and cook from scratch as much as possible.

For more information on sodium visit the Healthy Families BC website at: http://www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/sodium-sense

Our body needs salt to survive, send nerve impulses and contract and relax our muscles.

As a bonus salt adds flavor and helps preserve foods.

However, in our North American food system we get way too much of a good thing.

The average Canadian consumes about 3400 milligrams of sodium daily.

This is over double the recommended intake of 1500 milligrams, and it is fifty per cent higher than the upper tolerable limit of 2400 milligrams (which equals one teaspoon).

This high salt intake does not come without consequences. According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation three in ten Canadians have high blood pressure caused by too much dietary salt. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been identified by the World Health Organization as the leading risk factor for premature death in the world.

So where does all this salt come from?

Roughly eighty percent of sodium in the diet comes from processed foods and restaurants.

It is important to read nutrition labels because salt can be hidden in less obvious places such as breakfast cereals and vegetable juices that boast numerous health claims.

Some popular breakfast cereals have up to 350 milligrams of sodium per serving (and most people eat more than one serving) and vegetable juices can have close to 500 milligrams of sodium per cup. Other sources

Golden Moments: Finding a perfect place to be in Golden Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Jacquie Goldie came to Golden after spending the first 21 years of her life in Edmonton.

Goldie was one of 11 children who lived together with their parents who worked very hard to support their family.

“My dad worked graveyard and mom worked during the day. We lived a sheltered life.

We had bunk beds and it was like a dormitory but it was wonderful,” she said.

Goldie had good friends and a sister living in Golden when she moved here to become a hairdresser.

“My sister lived in the Swiss village. They have land up there that used to be a ski hill,” she said.

She immediately fell in love with Golden because people were, and are still, very welcoming and friendly.

“If you came here people always said ‘hi’ to you. If you were visiting from out of town the people made you feel welcome. They were very outgoing.”

As for how Golden now looks when compared to when she moved here, Goldie said much has changed.

“There was hardly anything on the strip when I came.

There was the old Husky and not much else. All the motels and gas strips were not there.”

Goldie said she led a very quiet life when she came to the area.

“I lived a very boring life,” she said laughing. “I came here in 1971 and lived with friends.

Eventually I met my husband and he lived up at eight mile.”

The house at eight mile had quite a story behind it.

“It was a fellow from the States who was supposedly trying to get away from tax people. The house was fully furnished and filled with food when they bought it,” she said.

“The furniture was amazing and it was like he had his own personal getaway. There was marble in the house and it was amazing.”

Goldie had a fear of bears when she first came to the area but as it turned out bears were the least of her concerns.

“I had an over imagination when it came to bears.

I kept thinking a bear was going to come to the door and announce itself by knocking on the door.”

The front door of the house could lock but it was not very solid.

“The guys were out on snow machines one time while I was in the bedroom resting. The

next thing I knew one of the machines came through the front door and ended up in my bedroom. One of my husband’s friends came right through the house and I don’t know what happened.”

Goldie said it was a shocking wake up for her.

“I was laying down and they woke me up. I couldn’t believe it. We had some wild times. At the time I was quite upset, but as you get older you can look back and laugh at them.”

Goldie said she had her own incident with a snow machine a short time later.

“I was out on the golf course and hit the ramp at a storage shed. After that you needed to have a license to drive one of them and I didn’t have one,” she said.

As life has moved forward, Goldie explained she is not the type of person to slow down.

“I am not one to sit still.

When you lived with a big family you accept that there is always something to do,” she said. “I know some people in my life would love me to slow down. I can’t do it though.”

Throughout her life her family has been very important for Goldie and still to this day.

She has stayed close to many Jacquie Goldie has been very involved in Golden since people who she considers part moving to town in 1971.

Trail volunteers and interested residents gathered at the Rockwater Grill and Bar to hear presenter Al Skucas.

Trails in the agenda at second meeting Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

The Community Coordination Project hosted its second meeting in a series aimed at bringing trail volunteers in the area together.

Led by the Golden Community Resources Society (GCRS), the project’s focus is to start the discussions and actions that will improve the fabric and framework of our community.

Right now they are focusing on the trail networks in Golden (which are becoming more and more valuable, both to the residents and the tourism industry), and the volunteer organizations who develop and maintain them.

This second meeting featured presenter Al Skucas, past president of Trails BC, who spoke about trail programs across the province, and the Trans Canada Trail.

There are many examples of trail alliance and development models, all with different

memberships and funding formulas. But the most successful project Skucas talked about was a “rails to trails” project. With land donated

by CP Rail, and the support of municipalities Kimberley and Cranbrook, the $2.8 million, 17-kilometre North Star Rail Trail opened in 2010, and connects Kimberley to Cranbrook.

It has now surpassed gold courses as the largest daily tourism activity in the region, and has become the most inquired about activity at the local Chamber of Commerce office.

Golden is the home of several world-class trail networks including the Moonrakers, Mount 7, Dawn Mountain, and Rotary trails.

However, from Skucas’ experience, he suggests that it would take a scenic trail network of no less than 15 kilometres to get visitors to pull off the highway.

More information about Skucas’ presentation, and the Community Coordination Project are available at www.goldenloom.ca.

Les Bois Miata Club spends a few days enjoying Golden Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden became a Miata haven last weekend when the Les Bois Miata Club chose to make it the location of their 17th summer trip.

The club, based out of Idaho, has 80 members and about 60 Miatas.

They participate in several events throughout the year, and decided they wanted to return to Canada to drive through the Rockies and Kootenays.

The club decided to make Golden their hub for a few days of travelling.

“We have planned drives to visit Radium Hot Springs, Revelstoke and Jasper while we are in Golden,” said Nancy Rolig, club member.

“After we leave Golden, we will visit Lake Louise and go on to Pincher Creek for the night.”

This is not the first time the club has ventured to Canada. In the past they have seen Glacier National Park, Jasper, Nelson, and Fairmont Hot Springs.

“It was a beautiful trip, and we look forward to revisiting the area with the new people in our club,” said Rolig prior to her arrival in Golden.

Loon Choir hits the Rockwater Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Loon Choir mixes textured guitar, synth, and violin hooks, with a groovy backline, and powerful choral-esque vocals, and brings it all together with their socially conscious lyrics about political injustice.

At their show at the Rockwater Grill and Bar on Aug. 4, you can see first hand how these musicians deliver a live set backed full of energy, spontaneity, sincerity, and above all, good times listening to good music.

Loon Choir has made its presence felt even across the ocean, with 2011 single “Bricks” being released in the UK on an international compilation with only two Canadian bands.

The band has been raising its profile nationwide too, especially following the release of their 2nd full-length album “Fire Poems” with the producing/engineering genius of James Bunton in May 2012. Hit

songs All Boats Don’t Rise and Nowhere to Go have been among CBC favourites, with the former hitting #2 on the R3-30. The band was also shortlisted for an R3 Bucky Award for “rookie of the year” in 2012.

All the recorded music aside, the live Loon Choir experience is what makes the ultimate difference. The energy oozing out of the catchy synth and guitar riffs, the transcendent harmony of male and female vocals and the loud and groovy beats are sure to get any crowd going.

The loons’ history of playing significant events such as Pop Montreal, NXNE, JUNOfest and Ottawa Bluesfest, as well as touring all over Ontario and as far east as Sidney, NB and everything in between is a testimony to their guarantee to deliver spectacular outbursts of energy to all their performances.

Bocephus King gets hot in the summer in Golden Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The enigmatic Vancouver native, Bocephus King, will be back in Golden to play Summer Kicks in Spirit Square at 7 p.m. on Aug. 7.

King is well known for his melodious songs that effortlessly flow between blues, alternative country, traditional songwriting and modern aesthetics.

Now he has become the voice of a songwriter and musician on a new path, ever-creating his own distinct sound.

The results are nothing less than glorious on his new album Willie Dixon God Damn!.

Starting where he left off with

traces of a genre that comes together by smashing joy and adventure in his previous critically acclaimed CD, All Children Believe in Heaven, King has sabotaged the typecasting.

King’s own voice has never been more present and contemporary.

He avoids the easy answers and therein lies some of the majesty of the tone of Bocephus King’s latest work. The new album continues to present King as a cultural omnivore who eats with his mouth wide open. But the musical influences may as well be spoken of with the same weight as how literature and cinema are just as significant ingredients.

Also perfuming on the night will be the A-Muse Troupe.

Kirby plays Golden Taps Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Fresh off the release of his new album, Into The Dark, Kirby is out on the road, and will be playing a show at the Golden Taps on Aug. 10.

Fronting Burlington, Ontario prog-rock band, First Time Fallen, for several years he released his first solo EP Within These Walls in 2007 before taking the figurative plunge with his next EP The Good Fight, in 2008.

Hitting the road for the first of many solo tours across Canada over the next few years and now with his new release Into The Dark, Kirby is poised and ready for the next step.

Displaying his true passion, as he belts out emotional lyrics right from the bottom of his heart, coupled with the diversity of both a driving rock strum style and quiet thoughtful picking on the guitar, reminiscent of Nick Drake, John Mayer or Dallas Green.

In the short time that he has put the gears to the indie music scene, Kirby has enjoyed many notable experiences such as appearing at ArtsWells Festival, the C&C Music Festival and the Burlington Sound of Music Festival.

He’s shared the stage with the likes of The Watchmen, Wax Mannequin, and Lindy of Major Maker, among others, and received regular rotation on C101 Mohawk Radio for The Good Fight EP. Kirby also started C&B Records, which

Kirby is playing at the Golden Taps on Aug. 10.

Photo Submitted has released multiple compilations of independent artists under the Mix Tape Series.

Into The Dark is a glimpse into the psyche of a man whose spent the last three years touring Canada, crossing the country numerous times.

Kirby’s second official release, wrestles the ideas of hostile despair, anguish of being unable to change, the worthlessness of envy and the desire to be wanted so unconditionally. The EP works towards summarizing the vast enormity of his experiences into seven calculated, succinct booms of folk-pop passion and interwoven with hook filled melody.

Turning Back the Pages: The history of the United Chuch

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

On June 25, 1942 the Golden Star ran the following article, submitted by the Rev. A.C. Pound, outlining the early history of Golden and of the United Church.

The article had been prepared for the 46th anniversary service of the church held on June 21, 1942.

The first settlers came to Golden before the railway in 1884, over the old tote road, via Hospital Falls. It required five days by horse and wagon from the end of the steel at Laggan (Lake Louise). The road was so rough that Mrs. Conner and her baby were thrown off into the brush on

one occasion. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Archer (the parents of Mrs. E. Neville) and Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Conner.

The first building in Golden was that of Licksey Trombley’s hotel, known as the “Canada House” in 1884.

The first private house was that of Harry Moody’s log building erected in 1864. It still stands just west of Vaughan Kimpton’s residence.

Miss Store from Victoria was the first regular school teacher.

The first mixed train ran in 1886, twice weekly. There was no water provided on those old colonist coaches and the passengers had to melt snow for washing.

The first steamboat was built by Capt.

F.P. Armstrong and was in use by June 1, 1886. It had a displacement of 30 tons and was christened the “Duchess” by Miss Carrie Huckle.

Before any church-

es were erected in the ‘80s visiting clergymen came from Fort Steele and Donald and held services where the crowd was – in a bar room, or a waiting room of the hotel, and also in a small elongated building called the “Caboose,” located near the present Golden Lodge.

Under the superintendencey of Rev. James Robertson, D.D., the first congregational meeting of the Presbyterians was held in the Donald Station on Sept. 26, 1886, and arranged for the arrival of their first minister, Rev. A.H. Cameron in 1886.

The second Presbyterian minister to serve this district was Rev. Angus Robertson, who arrived in Donald in 1889. His district extended from Rogers Pass to Laggan (Lake Louise) and from the 49th parallel to the Arctic Circle. He died on Aug 30, 1890, and his memory was

held in such high esteem that a marble tablet was erected to his honor by loving friends in St. Andrew’s church at Golden.

The history of the Golden Presbyterian Church Mission began with the ministry of Rev. W.R. Ross in 1893, who reports that 26 Sabbath services were held and the collections amounted to $37.50 that year.

At a joint meeting of representatives early in 1895 it was decided that Golden should raise $225. for a new church and have one evening service per month.

According to the records of the contractor, James Henderson Sr, work was begun on this church in November, 1895.

On March 14 the following year the stove was purchased, so that this church must have been opened in the spring of 1896 – 46 years ago. From the church and manse fund $300 was secured. The con-

The Grace Methodist Church, which sat across the street from the present United Church, was erected in 1902.

In 1896 the Methodist became a separate mission in Golden. This year they erected a church on the north side of the railway, which was later known as the

“Orange Hall.”

The church near the railway was so noisy that the Methodists decided to build a larger and more conveniently located church.

Grace Methodist was

erected and officially opened in June 1902.

In May, 1926, the Presbyterian and Methodist congregations joined to form the United Church of Golden.

History at the market Food bank numbers released Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

Drop by the Farmers’ Markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays to talk to Kirsten Allkins from the Museum about the history of Golden.

The staggering results of a Columbia Basin wide study on food banks will hopefully help the Golden Food Bank run its operations more efficiently to better serve the community.

In March of 2012, 4,175 people accessed a food bank in the Columbia Basin, and roughly 900,000 people across Canada.

“It’s clear that food banks have not been successful in addressing hunger and poverty,” said Barb Davies, executive director of the Golden Food Bank.

One of the more eye-opening statistics determined from the study is the number of working poor says Davies. About 37 per cent of the people who access the food bank are

employed.

The information revealed in the study, which was funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, will be made available to the public.

The Golden Food Bank, like most food banks across the country, relies on community support to keep its doors open.

Wildsight is doing what they can to help out by donating have of the proceeds from their Edible Garden Tour to the Golden Food Bank.

The tour will take visitors through some of Golden’s yummiest gardens, followed by a lunch at the Island Restaurant.

The tour is on Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m..

The cost is $20 for adults, $10 for youth, and free for children six and under. Preregister by contacting Barb Davies at 250-344-2113 or info@goldenfoodbank.ca.

Space is limited, so book early.

Learn more about Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and the activities it supports through its 2012/13 Annual Report. The Annual Report reflects CBT’s performance for the year ending March 31, 2013, and details its financial investments, spending, and program and initiative activities.

The report’s theme, Evolving and Empowering, reflects how CBT has recently evolved by placing more resources in the hands of communities, supporting them as they make their own choices on issues that affect their futures and empowering them to see those choices result in positive outcomes. This approach allows CBT to be more strategic in how it supports communities in their efforts to address priorities.

“We’ve always had programs and initiatives that place decision making in the hands of communities, but have recently been expanding this approach to other areas,” said Greg Deck, CBT board chair. “We continue to look at implementing this approach wherever it makes sense, and are eager to get more communities on board.”

In 2012/13, CBT returned a record $19.3 million in funding benefits to Basin communities-11.6 per cent higher than in the previous year. Total revenues were $25.7 million, an increase of $2.7 million over 2011/12, primarily due to greater revenue from two of CBT’s power project facilities.

“Our ability to deliver benefits to the Columbia Basin is attributable to CBT’s strong financial position,” said Neil Muth, CBT President and CEO. “We expect this strength to continue in the coming years.”

The Annual Report is posted online at www. cbt.org/annualreport.

Skydivers go extreme for charity Darryl Crane editor@thgoldenstar.net Sky Dive Extreme Yeti are preparing to do a major jump for charity.

From each jump they will donate $50 to the Golden Youth Centre.

“I was wondering how I wanted to beat my record of 12 jumps in one day and thought, why not create an exciting and fun challenge to our town, to raise money for youth” said owner and tandem master, Myles Delorme.

Overall, the challenge is to fund-raise over $2,000, to support the Golden Youth Centre.

“I was active in the Boys and Girls Club when I was growing up and I wanted to donate to something similar here in Golden,” Delorme said.

The goal is to actively challenge locals to seek pledges and create corporate challenges in the name of youth of our community. On site during the day there will be a viewing area, barbecue and prizes.

All experience levels and newbies are invited to join in the fun. All jumpers will be participate in tandem skydives.

“We want to put over 40 people in the air, which will be 20 jumps per tandem master. It is a lot of work on the ground. So we have planned

Extreme Yeti is going to raise money to help the local youth centre in Golden.

Photo Submitted for extra staff on hand, from office workers, parachute packers and an extra tandem master on the ground to coordinate and prep jumpers.

All these extra staff will be from our sister drop zone in Alberta,” Delorme said.

The drop zone in Golden is very unique in the world. It is one of the only places where active sky diving is between two mountain ranges. Each flight soars to 10,000 feet above ground level. The

bird’s eye view from the plane is spectacular as they fly past, glaciers, mountains and rivers. It is well worth the flight up to ease the nerves.

The charity challenge jump cost is $299 plus tax. The package includes your tandem master, flight and equipment.

For more information please contact Delorme, owner, Sky Dive Extreme Yeti, 250-272-9384.

Kicking Horse Cup delayed After waiting for a train to pass, the women’s division of bikers took off from Spirit Square and began their trek up to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in the Kicking Horse Cup on Saturday July 27.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC regional head coach David Broadhurst will be in Nelson from Aug. 10 to 18 to lead the evaluations for the Whitecaps FC Kootenay Prospects Academy.

Boys and girls ages U-10 to U-18 will have the opportunity to be evaluated for selection and invitation to the Kootenay Prospects program, which will include up to four boys and four girls training groups with 16 to 20 players per training group.

“We really enjoyed our inaugural year in the Kootenays and learned more about how the program can have the greatest impact and benefit for local players,” said Whitecaps FC director of soccer development Dan Lenarduzzi.

“Based on that we have made some adjustments this year that will provide a regular Whitecaps FC presence in the Kootenays, more regular contact with the players, and increased communication.”

The program, including all ses-

sions, will be run by Whitecaps FC Okanagan regional head coach David Broadhurst and will include a 10-month program with three phases, running September through June, with weekly training sessions.

There will also be one travel weekend per phase, which last year included an MLS weekend in Vancouver featuring an onfield training session and a Whitecaps FC MLS match.

“The club’s desire is to have an overall regional program strategy that will allow the Prospects Academy to be accessible to the best players in the Kootenay region,” said Broadhurst.

“In this coming 2013-14 cycle, we will operate a west program which will primarily be open to players from Nelson and Kootenay South.

The objective will be to work towards a similar east program for the fall of 2014-15.

This will then provide the ability to connect the two programs for select training and events.”

Whitecaps FC currently provide technical services to the Nelson Youth Soccer

Association and hope to expand these services to other areas of the Kootenays.

To be selected for the Whitecaps FC Prospects Academy, all players must register for the evaluation

process.

Evaluation sessions will be held at Lakeside Park in Nelson during the weekends of Aug. 10 and 11 and again on Aug. 17 to 18.

Players interested in registration for

the evaluation can visit whitecapsfc.com/ academy and select Kootenay Academy or contact David Broadhurst at dbroadhurst@whitecapsfc.com or by phone at 250550-5489.
