Town wants CSRD support with KHC Bantom boys wrap up basketball season ..................................14

Jessica Schwitek editior@thegoldenstar.net Kicking Horse Culture has their funding secure for the next year, but both KHC and the Town of Golden would like to see a more long-term solution.

At the meeting on March 4, council passed a resolution to renew the three-year agree-

ment through taxation, provided that the Columbia Shuswap Regional District will fund it jointly with the Town.

“They have exceeded the cost benefit analysis, and have overdelivered on providing arts and culture in our community,” said Mayor Christina Benty, who brought the resolution forward.

Age friendly task force to complete its action plan by June Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Age Friendly Community Plan task force met last week at The Island Restaurant as a step towards its goal of coming up with an action plan by June. Eight areas of concern were identified, including transportation, civic participation and housing.

The meeting was led by Ryan Watmough, who believes that one area in particular was especially important.

“Community support and health services, that’s probably one of the most critical ones…whether it be assisted living or services to the interior health,” he said.

According to Watmough, an age friendly community plan can be beneficial not only for citizens, but for businesses as well.

“The age friendly community plan makes businesses, there’s an opportunity for businesses here. If there’s an opportunity for businesses, there’s an opportunity for employment and there’s an opportunity for them to give back and provide goods and services to this community, that is looking to be age friendly,” he said.

up of over a dozen community members and representatives including Coun. Connie Barlow and Coun. Ron Oszust, agreed that it was important to ensure that the group was of an appropriate size.

“We want to have good representation, if we’re too big it’s (death by

committee) and if we are too small, we’re not going to relevant, so we have to find that happy medium,” said Watmough.

The task force plans to meet again in two weeks, where a list of survey questions for community members will be finalized.

Little Mittens receives grant from BC SPCA Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Little Mittens Animal Rescue recently received some good news in the form of a grant from BC SPCA. The grant was made possible from a private donation of $80,000 to the SPCA, of which Little Mittens will receive $4,200.

The grant money will be used specifically for spaying and neutering feral cat colonies in Golden and the surrounding area. According to Little Mittens’ Jamie Crawford, there are several colonies in the area that need attention in order to limit population growth, including a colony of 20 cats in Nicholson. In total, 42 cats will be trapped, spayed and neutered, and returned.

Spaying and neutering a cat costs approximately $102 and in order to

do so, Little Mittens sets up a series of traps where the colony tends to congregate.

The cats are lured in by food before the trap door falls behind them. After being spayed or neutered, the cats are returned to the wild after a few days of recovery time.

In the wild, Little Mittens continues to give them water and food, which ensures that they don’t wander off on their own and remain segregated and contained within the colony. Feral cats usually live for only five years in the wild due to a variety of factors including untreated illnesses and encounters with larger wildlife.

In a separate application, Little Mittens has applied for a $130,000 grant through Columbia Basin Trust for a new building that will increase the facility’s space and allow for a quarantine and isolation area to reduce dis-

ease transmission.

The total cost of the facility is estimated to be $160,000. Little Mittens has already obtained $30,000 of that figure through donations.

Later this month Little Mittens will be holding an adopt-a-thon where prices to adopt cats will be cut in half, from $100 down to $50.

“We’ve still got quite a few cats that need homes right now, probably between 30 and 40,” said Crawford.

“Kitten season is starting any time now, once the snow starts to melt we’re going to start seeing more kittens coming in so we want to try and get as many of the ones we have now out. They come spayed and neutered, vaccinated and de-wormed so that is a wicked deal…normally it would cost $300 to do it all on your own.”

The adopt-a-thon will run on Mar. 29.

Golden may be headed to the polls less often Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Golden may only be going to the polls every four years instead of three when the B.C. government introduces legislation changing the municipal election cycle.

A resolution came out of the 2013 UBCM (Union of BC Municipalities) conference requesting the change, but not all municipalities in the province were in favour.

Smaller communities, such as Golden, have expressed difficulty finding candidates for public office who can commit to such a long term.

Golden was among the communities who voted against the change, but politicians from larger centres (many of whom make enough money through their service to not need another income), argued that four-year terms will give local governments more time to consult, plan and achieve community goals, and also help manage election costs.

The fear in smaller communities, however, is this may increase the likelihood of by-elections.

“My experience as a municipal councillor convinced me that to succeed in today’s complex world, local governments need enough time to plan and complete projects that build strong, inclusive communities. I’m confident this change, supported

by UBCM and the task force, will help local governments continue to make B.C.’s communities great places to live and work,” said Coralee Oakes, minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.“The reason why provinces across Canada have moved to four years is it provides greater certainty in communities to move very important projects forward, things such as infrastructure improvements.”

The change is expected to be finalized in time for this year’s municipal election in November, meaning that the next election would not occur until 2018. This new schedule will follow provincial elections by one year. School boards will follow the same election terms as municipalities, as they have in the past.

Over 3500 BC 55+ Seniors expected to attend.

Traffic Bylaws-More Than Just Parking Rules

The Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations together make up the traffic enforcement “bible” for most police officers. They set the standards for traffic rules throughout the province of British Columbia. What you may not have considered but could still run afoul of are local traffic bylaws enacted by municipalities. While they are similar in general, they may differ in scope and number from place to place and used to be difficult for drivers to become aware of.

You may automatically think of parking tickets when someone mentions traffic bylaws.

This is probably the contact that most of us have had with them at one time or another, but it is by no means the only possibility for problems. Rules governing pedestrians, cycles, signs, animals, truck routes, loading zones, parades and even speeds may be set in this legislation.

The most important guideline for traffic bylaws is that they must not be inconsistent with Part 3 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Part 3 establishes what we would call the rules of the road, speeds, stopping at stop signs, following highway lines and the like. For example, a bylaw would be inconsistent if it allowed you to do something that Part 3 forbids.

How do you find out about the traffic bylaws of your municipality or one that you travel in regularly? The internet is my first stop as most if not all municipalities have their bylaws on line today. Bylaws may also be viewed at the municipal hall and the advice of bylaw enforcement sought there as well. Finally, your local library may also be a good source for this information.

The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

When are you getting your money’s worth?

The most recent Community Conversations event focused on how the attendees see value for their dollars, both personal and tax dollars.

With public debt and taxes only going up (or possibly staying the same, but certainly not going down), at every level of government, organizers of the event wanted to find out not only how you see value, but also when it is worth it to incur debt.

The roundtables in the Civic Centre came up with various ideas about value: One said that value applies as soon as you can physically see something (for example new facilities). While another said value is determined on a comparative basis. An annual cell phone bill, for example, is close to what a homeowner would pay in municipal taxes. Are all the services you get from the Town as valuable as your cell service?

The conversation then turned to debt, when is it good and when is it bad?

People incur personal debt all the time, most commonly through a mortgage. Debt like a mortgage, most people deemed OK, partly because you need a place to live, and partly because you come out of it with an asset. In other words, you’re getting a return on your investment.

When it comes to public debt, the pros and cons were quite similar. Several people around the room thought public debt was acceptable if the municipality would be gaining a vital asset.

However, if the debt is unaffordable to the tax base, or there was no substantial gain, then public debt was not OK.

Craft brewery proposed for Golden Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Golden is about to become part of a growing Canadian trend, as the first steps have been taken by local entrepreneur Kent Donaldson to open a craft brewery.

“I really want this to be something the people of Golden are proud of,” said Donaldson to Town Council during the March 4 meeting.

A zoning amendment bylaw was before council to allow for a craft brewery at 623 8th Avenue (located behind Mary’s Motel, beside Glacier Rafting), where Donaldson has purchased a lot.

Both Town staff and council were very supportive of the proposal, and passed first reading of the bylaw, therefore proceeding to the public hearing process (which is tentatively scheduled for April 1).

“A craft brewery has substantial potential benefits for the Town of Golden,” said Phil Armstrong, planning technician for the Town.

Although still in very early stages, Donaldson is planning to have brewery tours, as well as an indoor/outdoor lounge area, which has recently been permitted by the province. The lounge license allows the brewer to catch a

bigger chunk of the market.

“In staff’s opinion, Mr. Donaldson has chosen the perfect location for this, near Mary’s Motel and just over the Pedestrian Bridge. It’s walking distance for locals, but also along one of the main routes up to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort,” added Armstrong.

“I think there’s a great opportunity here to mesh a production facility with a nice architectural storefront that would allow interaction with the public,” said Donaldson. “I think it will become a pretty good tourism draw.”

Craft beer sales now account for nearly 10 per cent of the Canadian beer industry revenues. In fact, in 2013 sales by smaller breweries increased by 38 per cent, while sales from larger breweries went down by four per cent.

Similar small breweries are operating in Invermere and Revelstoke (Arrowhead and Mt. Begbie), and are thriving.

“It’s an exciting time here in the craft brewery world…People are passionate about it and this is the perfect time for this to come to Golden,” said Armstrong.

“This is a fantastic addition to our downtown, I think we’re all excited about it,” said Mayor Christina Benty.

“I want this to be something the people of Golden are proud of.”

Missing snowmobilers located Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

A week of unpredictable conditions has kept emergency and highway crews busy.

On March 8, at 3:13 p.m., Golden RCMP received a report from the International Emergency Response Reporting a Spot activation, with GPS coordinates at Silent Pass, north of Duncan Lake, near Parson.

Golden RCMP were able to determine that three avid snowmobilers with experience in back country sledding, and overnight winter camping, were associated to the beacon.

Golden and District Search and Rescue was advised, and attempted to locate the males via helicopter, however due to severe weather conditions they were unable to continue with the search, and a decision was made to attempt another search the following morning.

At daylight, Golden and District Search and Rescue resumed their search, and were able to locate all three males.

The males explained to rescuers that their snowmobiles had become stuck, so they activated their emergency beacon, and set up an overnight camp.

One of the males, from Airdrie, AB, was transported back to Golden via helicopter to be treated for non life threatening injuries related to smoke inhalation, and the other two males, one from Calgary, and the other from Kelowna, were transported back to their vehicle by

Also on March 8, at 7:31 p.m., Golden RCMP were advised by Kicking Horse Mountain Resort that a male snowboarder from Calgary had been reported missing by friends.

The friends reported that they were separated from the male, on one of the runs, and that the male had failed to return to the base of the mountain.

Kicking Horse Mountain Resort conducted sweeps of the mountain and were not able to locate the missing male, however a single snowboard track was located going into an out of bounds area, known as Canyon Creek.

Ski Patrollers were unable to ski into the area at night due to weather conditions, and Golden and District Search and Res-

cue was advised. The following morning, Golden and District Search and Rescue conducted a search of the mountain by helicopter.

The male was located, and advised rescuers that he spent the night in a tree well to keep dry. The male was then transported back to Golden via helicopter, and did not sustain any injuries.

The weekend’s weather also left numerous people stranded in Golden, Revelstoke, Canmore, and other places.

HMC Services were working overtime clearing roads and helping stranded drivers, while Parks Canada worked on avalanche control.

Highway 1 was closed intermittently both east and west throughout the weekend.

Red Scott Plaque One of the people who brought the iconic Pedestrian Bridge to Golden will soon be memorialized on it.

Walter “Red” Scott, who passed away in late 2013, was Mayor of Golden when the bridge was constructed. Coun. Keith Hern proposed that council put a plaque on the bridge for Scott after he said he has heard several members of the express their support for the idea.

“Red was a very well-respected mayor… I think it would be good to recognize his contribution, and this would be the perfect place for it,” said Hern.

Financial Plan The Town of Golden’s 2014-2018 Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw was officially adopted by council on March 4.

The budget contains a few changes from previous five-year financial plans, including a two per cent increase which will be allocated to asset renewal.

There is also a new reserve targeted specifically for dyke improvements, with $25,000 going into it annually. The budget passed without the future $1.2 million dyke improvement project, which was removed after the Finance Committee made the recommendation.

Request for shared funding sent to CSRD Continued from page 1 Not all of council agreed with the proposal. Coun. Keith Hern voted against the resolution stating he would like to see some more “behind the scenes” discussion with both KHC and the CSRD to find a new funding model.

Hern also noted that KHC has substantial reserve funds (which Hern quoted at

www.thegoldenstar.net A5

$115,000). Hern wondered if the organization is close to supporting itself, especially if they raise their membership fees and ticket prices.

“I think Kicking Horse Culture is valuable to this community, and I would like to see it continue,” said Hern.

The Town will be drafting a letter to the CSRD, requesting they cost-share to fund KHC,

and the CSRD Board (which includes Area A director Gary Habart) will decide.

The Town of Golden would like to see greater cost sharing with the CSRD on several programs and/or facilities in the community. There was no discussion as to what the Town will do regarding the funding of KHC if the CSRD declines the request.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014 The Golden Star

Child Predators Act Editor,

Let me start by saying that I think that the youth focus group put on by the Town of Golden (story on page 12) is a great idea and I’m hopeful it will lead to more involvement and political engagement amongst 18-35 year olds in this town.

Joel Tansey Voter turnout was S TAR R EPORTER poor across all demographics in the previous two municipal elections (9.8 per cent for the byelection in 2012 and 30 per cent for the general election 2011) but it’s clear that the youth demographic is particularly disengaged. Having a focus group like this should help, in theory.

Having said that, I can’t help but feel that at least a portion of the people in attendance at last week’s meeting need a wake up call. For me, it comes down to one simple truth: It is no one’s responsibility but your own to make sure you are informed and up to speed on issues that concern Golden. End of story.

There was a sentiment from a few individuals at the meeting that it was too hard to stay informed and that they were unaware of the issues affecting this municipality as a result. It was agreed that a “quick” synopsis should be posted online by the Town after every council meeting that covers the major issues and which councillor voted for what. I don’t necessarily disagree, but I do have to wonder if my demographic really needs the news spoon-fed to them anymore than it already is, because there are already plenty of easy, convenient ways to stay informed. The trick, of course, is you have to put in a tiny bit of effort yourself.

Obviously, this newspaper (and our website) is one way to stay informed of what’s going on at council, but there are other mediums that compliment our coverage as well. EZ Rock and the Town have teamed up to put out a synopsis the day after every council meeting that delivers the meeting minutes in a quick and easy way. A video is available on the Town of Golden’s Facebook page, and the audio airs on Steve Keppler’s morning radio show at 106.3. Finally, meeting agendas, public notices and other news are available from the Town’s website at golden.ca.

Perhaps most significantly, 18-34 year olds were actually given a chance to sit down, face to face with Mayor Christina Benty and I’m not sure if many even realized what a rare and privledged opportunity that would be for citizens in other centres. I have a hard time imagining a small group of youth in Vancouver, Montreal or Toronto getting a chance to sit down and discuss issues with their respective mayors (maybe that last one was a bad example, after all Torontonians can just tune into Jimmy Kimmel to see their tax dollars at work.)

The bottom line is the Town is doing plenty as it is to make sure its citizens (and youth specifically) are active voices in the community, and it’s time for my demographic to take it upon ourselves and participate.

Our government recently introduced Bill C-26 which will bring tougher sanctions against those who prey on our most vulnerable, our children. Below is a snapshot of what this legislation will do.

I know there are some who will react to bullet #7, however I believe that most countries around the world would not accept someone to enter their country with such a grave crime. That being said, Canada is making it very clear that it is not acceptable in our country.

Further, I believe that the public should know when someone is in their community that could be a threat to their children. They should not be able to hide behind a veil of privacy issues. That is why a publicly accessible databank is so important.

Bill C-26, The Tougher Penalties for Child Predators Act will: • Requiring those convicted of contact child sexual offences against multiple children to serve their sentences consecutively – one after another; • Requiring those convicted of child pornography offences and contact child sexual offences to serve their

Columbia River Treaty To the editor, Let’s drain the Duncan Dam, or maybe the Libby, or perhaps bring the salmon back. The year is 2014, and this is the year we must give notice to the Americans if we wish to change the Columbia River Treaty in 2024.

The Columbia River Treaty was negotiated by men who are dead and gone. During the intervening 60

sentences consecutively; • Increasing maximum and minimum prison sentences for certain child sexual offences; • Increasing penalties for violation of conditions of supervision orders; • Ensuring that a crime committed while on house arrest, parole, statutory release or unescorted temporary absence, is an aggravating factor at sentencing; • Ensuring that spousal testimony is available in child pornography cases; • Requiring registered sex offenders to provide more information regarding travel abroad; • Enabling information-sharing on certain registered sex offenders between officials responsible for the National Sex Offender Registry and at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA); and • Establishing a publicly accessible database of high risk child sex offenders who have been the subject of a public notification in a provincial/territorial jurisdiction to assist in ensuring the safety of our communities.

Should anyone have any question with regards to this legislation please contact me and I would be happy to discuss it.

David Wilks Kootenay Columbia Member of Parliament

years, the world has changed, but the treaty has not. Most residents know nothing about the treaty, and the information we get comes from government and corporations.

We need a new source of information. We need the Columbia River International Fresh Water Institute.

This institution, funded by one per cent of all money generated by the Columbia River and its tributaries, will give us a clearer vision of how we should deal with our water.

Support a renegotiated Colum-

bia River Treaty and the one per cent proposal where one per cent of all money generated by the Columbia River is set aside for the study of water.

It is in our own best interest to pay more attention to our water. The Columbia River International Fresh Water Institute would accomplish this and guide us to make the right choices in changes to the Columbia River Treaty in 2024.

Principal’s Report Golden students learn about winter wildlife Lois Ehman Principal of Nicholson Elementary

The Olympic spirit was alive and well at Nicholson Elementary School.

On Monday, February 3 we held a torch run around our playground and into the school gym.

The torch used was from Manos International and is the only children’s friendship torch in the world to travel around the world. We were honored to be the only school in BC to ever have the torch. The event was extra special as the torch run began and ended with Mayor Christine Benty and MLA Norm Macdonald.

On Friday, February 7th we held our opening ceremonies. The students paraded into the gym with their country’s flag to the Olympic anthem and then proceeded to present some facts about their countries. Many interesting things were learned about the countries and we were also entertained by cultural dancing and had traditional treats.

For the next two weeks students took part in an Olympic event each day. Events included curling, the luge, hockey, biathlon, snow-sculpting and dogsled races. Stats were posted and standings kept.

On Friday, February 21st we held our closing ceremonies. Students watched a video of their events and then received their medals.

Thank you to all the parents who attended all the events and cheered on the athletes.

As busy as this was we still had other events happening at the school. Wednesday, February 26th was Anti-bullying day. Staff and students came in their pink shirts and special lessons were held in the classrooms. Friday, February 28th we had a sharing assembly. Many parents came to see the exciting things that have been taking place in the grade 4/5 class and in the kindergarten classroom. The Kindies entertained us with an alphabet song and then performed a Metis Jig for us while the grade 4/5 class performed with life sized puppets they had made. Excellent work to all involved.

Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Now in its 7th year, Wildsight’s Winter Wonder program continues to educate, amaze, and connect students across the Columbia Basin, as they learn about the joys, secrets, and wonders of our winters.

Nearly 160 field trips are booked this year, up from 140 last winter. The program takes almost 3,100 students between Kindergarten and Grade 3 on a half-day field trip to explore winter wildlife ecology, snow science, and weather - all concepts embedded in the current BC education curriculum for these grades.

Local educator Sanne van der Ros, who often dresses in a white costume carrying her Snowy Owl in one pocket of her science jacket, binoculars and a giant snowflake strung around her neck, has facilitated the Winter Wonder program in Golden since 2008. In this costume she is known as Captain Powder.

This years she visited Field Elementary, Alexander Park Elementary, Nicholson Elementary, as well as Edgewater Elementary.

There have been 12 programs delivered in van der Ros’ region, with two more to go. The programs start out in the classroom, but soon enough the students dress up warmly to spen the rest of the time outside learning about winter ecology and snow science.

“Each school has its own unique ‘green’ (white!) space where the outdoor part of the program takes place.

The students from Nicholson Elementary School enjoyed some outdoor education, courtesy of Sanne van der Ros (left) a.k.a.

Photo Submitted At APES, the students will explore the forest’s edge along the Rotary Trail. At Nicholson, a big part of the program takes place in a great forested space of the playground. At Field, students looked for evidence of animal signs in the forest just across the bridge over Mt. Stephen’s Creek. At Edgewater, the program took advantage of the hilly landscape and forests just adjacent to the playground with views below onto the Columbia River and the wetlands where students were able to spot a herd of deer resting in the snow,” said van der Ros. “Requests for these popular programs always seem to increase,” said Monica Nissen, Wildsight’s Education in the Wild Program Manager.

“This year, sadly, we had to turn away classes. Despite adding an additional 20 field trips this year, we have more demand than we can accommodate.”

Fortunately many teachers in Golden requested the program, and were able to bring it into their classrooms.

“Across Canada, kids are spending less and less time outside. Winter Wonder gets kids outside, connecting them with the magic of winter ecology and their backyards. Our team of twelve professional outdoor educators bring the curriculum to life for students.”

Winter Wonder educators show up in costume, and ‘Frosty Flake’, ‘Jill Frost’ or other magical characters lead the class through a range of hands-on activities, both in and out of the class.

Golden Moments: Week-long trip turned into a lifetime in Golden Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Peggy Chalmers visited Golden from her home in Edmonton in 1977 for what was supposed to be a week-long trip to visit a friend. That trip turned into a lifetime and she hasn’t left the area since.

On that trip Chalmers met her husband Paul and the couple recently celebrated their 33rd anniversary together.

“He was just too adorable,” Chalmers said of what attracted her to Paul. “He was totally unlike the guys I was used to.”

Not long after they met, the couple took a trip down to Mexico in Paul’s yellow convertible.

“We had this little Triumph Spitfire.

It was like a magician’s act because we’d pull up to the beach and if there was anyone around their mouth’s would drop. He’d pull out a tent, sleeping bags, pots and pans…it was a lot of fun,” she laughed. “I knew that at the end of it either we wouldn’t be able to stand each other or we’d be a lot closer.”

One of the things that Chalmers enjoyed the most about Golden was that everyone was friendly and got along well with each other.

“In the city you have white collar bars, blue collar bars and student bars,” she said. “If you come to Golden you sit at a table with a teacher, a lawyer, a logger and a couple of unemployed people and nobody cares. You’re not defined at

all by what you do.”

Chalmers has an education degree and worked as a teacher in Edmonton but worked in a few different fields in Golden outside of teaching, including a stint as a reporter at The Golden Star.

Chalmers was also heavily involved in establishing the Women’s Resource Centre.

“I was lucky enough to love all my jobs but the one that was probably dearest to me was at the Women’s Resource Centre,” she said. “When I arrived there was a lot of misunderstanding about feminism and a certain amount of fear and mistrust and so I found some like-minded people and we started the Women’s Centre.”

Chalmers, as a director of the centre, later started the Safehome System, a unique system at the time that helps women flee from dangerous and violent domestic situations.

Peggy and Paul opened Moon River 32 years ago. The store began in a location in an alley behind where Moon Cafe used to be before eventually moving to where Red Tomato Pies is now. Finally, Moon River moved to its current location next to Higher Ground Mountain Sports. The store originally sold stained glass that Paul made, but it now sells a wide variety of gifts and specialty products for both tourists and locals.

In her free time, Chalmers has a simple list of hobbies that she enjoys.

Peggy Chalmers stands in front of Moon River Gallery in downtown Golden, which she has owned with her husband for the past 32 years.

Joel Tansey/Star Photo “Three of my favourite things are gardening, cooking and eating good food,” she said. “They really compliment each other.”

Chalmers continues to enjoy living in the area and her opinions of Gold-

en haven’t changed since that first trip to the valley.

“I had no intention of staying longer than a week when I arrived,” Chalmers said. “Golden just seemed so real, I’m still in love with it.”

Golden student debuts documentary Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Golden might just have the next Kathryn Bigelow on its hands.

Madeline Archibald, at just 13 years of age, has already shot and edited several short films of her own including two movies she entered in contests with both the Canadian Avalanche Centre and the Royal Canadian Legion. Her most recent project involved filming and editing the Snow King’s MasqueParade.

Archibald made her first movie at the age of 10 when her father, Mike Archibald, showed her the basics of iMovie. Since then she’s developed a definite passion for film that extends beyond just having a fun hobby.

“I think I’ve figured out now that I want to study filmology…I want to make it a part of my life,” Archibald said.

Piecing a movie together is an exciting prospect for Archibald, who also shoots movies for a lot of her school projects.

“I like it when it all clicks together and you just get this kind of sensation in your gut… it’s all just about what makes the movie good, the cuts and the edits and the effects,” she said.

Archibald particularly enjoys the editing process and says she has an admiration for Mark Day, who edited the final four movies in the Harry Potter series.

“The way he puts it together is absolutely incredible, I love watching those movies over and

Madeline Archibald talks to the crowd at the screening of her film at the Civic Centre. Joel Tansey/Star Photo over again,” she said.

For the MasqueParade film Archibald enlisted the help of her father, who filmed the festival from the scaffolding.

Madeline filmed the performance from the ground level, although she had other duties to attend to as well.

“Since I had to be in the actual parade twice, I had to leave my camera unattended on the tripod and it was crooked a bit, but it managed to work out,” she said.

Having a filmed version of the performance allowed many of the volunteers, who are typically extremely busy on the night of the show, see the parade in its entirety. Next year, Archibald hopes to add a third camera on the ground level to give her another set of footage to work with.

Golden quilters inviting newcomers Mountain Magic Quilt Guild Submitted

Twice a year, Golden’s Mountain Magic Quilt Guild holds a retreat in the Seniors Centre where guild members enjoy a weekend of quilting.

Our next retreat is on the weekend of March 14-16, and we would like to extend an invitation to everyone to come and visit our Open House which will be between 1 and 5 p.m. on

Friday March 14 and Saturday March 15, at these times only.

This is not a quilt show but examples of our art will be on display. You will also be able to chat with members and watch them working on their various projects.

Who know, this might inspire you to join us or just encourage you to finish that quilt you started years ago.

We look forward to meeting you, and coffee will be available.

Fernie author special guest at Gala Kootenay Literary Competition Submitted The judges of the Kootenay Literary Competition (KLC) have chosen the winners of this year’s competition from among entries from across the east and west Kootenays.

Writers submitted work in the fiction, non-fiction and poetry categories, and cash prizes will be awarded for the best work, plus publication in the KLC Anthology. The winners were notified on March 7, and will receive their prizes at the Literary Gala celebration

on Friday March 14, 6:30 p.m. at the Prestige Hotel in Nelson.

Angie Abdou of Fernie, whose book The Bone Cage was a competitor in Canada Reads in 2011, and whose second novel The Canterbury Trail was a finalist for Banff Mountain Book of the Year 2011 will be the special guest speaker.

The competition has received strong support from the community, including sponsorship from Kootenay Lake Tourism, the Kootenay Coop and many others, plus the work of the organization’s volunteers. The

goal of the Committee is to promote creative writing across the region, through the competition and also through investing in developing the talents of young writers.

In 2013, the Spring Scribble event had high school students work in an intensive workshop over two days.

In 2014, the Writer in Residence Program, supported by the Columbia Basin Trust will has brought mentorship for creative writing students to the high school and middle school in Nelson, and the high school in the Slocan Valley.

Inside Llewyn Davis delivers some laugh out loud moments Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Inside Llewyn Davis is a tough movie to rate. On one hand, it has a fantastic soundtrack, some laugh out loud moments, and a strong, relatable lead character. On the other hand, in amongst the delightful folk music and quirky moments, there is hardly a semblance of plot to be found. In fact, co-director Joel Coen (who, of course, paired up with his brother Ethan) stated: “The film doesn’t really have a plot.

That concerned us at one point; that’s why we threw the cat in.” Huh? Can they do that? Well they did, and they just about pulled it off.

The movie opens with the title character performing at a cafe in New York in the 1960s. Llewyn Davis (Oscar Issac) is a hard-luck, struggling folk musician who is struggling to deal with the suicide of his musical partner Mike Timlin. Homeless, he surfs from one friend’s couch to another on a nightly basis. After spending the night at the Gorfein’s place, he accidentally lets their tabby cat out in the morning while simultaneously locking himself out of their apartment. Davis has no choice but to carry the cat around with him for the rest of the day, and further incidents naturally arise.

The audience is later introduced to a few of Llewelyn’s friends and aquaintances including couple Jim (Justin Timberlake) and Jean (Casey Mulligan). Jean and Llewyn have a hostile relationship to put it light-

National Theatre Live

ly and Jean suspects that she might be pregnant with Llewyn’s baby following an implied affair.

Lleywyn’s travels eventually take him to Chicago alongside poet Johnny Five (Garrett Hedlund) and jazz musician Roland Turner (John Goodman).

As previously mentioned, Inside Llewyn Davis is much more about characters, music and setting than plot.

The storyline that is present feels disjointed and somewhat forced (as Joel Coen even admitted, even if his remark was made with tongue-in-cheek). The lack of a truly compelling story is something I’m having a hard time getting passed when looking at the movie.

I can’t help but feel that critics have given the typically brilliant Coen brothers too much of the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this movie. There is some brilliant stuff here, but it just doesn’t quite get there for me. However, this is a rare movie that I’ll score lower but still recommend checking out for its solid cast, wonderful music and unique “story”. For those reasons, I’ll give Inside Llewyn Davis 7 dancing hot dogs out of 10.

Inside Llewyn Davis is now available at Kicking Horse Movies.

Oscar Issac stars in the film Inside Llewyn Davis.

Grant helps local group connect business community with youth Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net

(CCAY) and Metis Nation BC (MNBC) has allowed local A recent grant from youth to participate Cultural Connections in cultural activities for (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX Aboriginal Youth that celebrate aborig-

inal traditions.

The Metis Nation Columbia River Society (MNCRS) received the grant to create connections between local youth and aboriginal business owners.

“Essentially the goal of the grant is to involve aboriginal youth, and youth in general, in our economy,” said Hanako Nagao, a co-ordinator with MNCRS. The MNCRS is using the $15,000 to facilitate events that bring aboriginal youth and local community members and business owners together. This way, the youth will have made connections that will help them in the future, and they will know who they need to talk to about their potential goals.

“At the end of this we’re hoping to create a directory, so we’ve actually been interviewing everyone who comes to our events. We take some information about

what they do for employment, what they like to do, and whether they would be willing to share that with people,” said Nagao.

“So this way they’ll be able to contact each other.”

The first event in the series, a Metis Kitchen Party, had about 30 attendees.

And although these

events are geared towards aboriginal youth, they are open to anyone interested in learning about the culture.

Last week there were two big events; A Fiddle Camp and a Drum Making Ceremony that lasted the entire weekend.

“The high school is really good about highlighting Aborig-

inal culture. Dana Sutter (GSS teacher) there is fantastic.

But outside of school, there’s not a whole lot in the community that focuses on the culture,” said Nagao.

But business, and the local economy is rarely the focus of high school programs, which is why Nagao thinks this is a particularly benefi-

cial program.

Upcoming events for the MNCRS include a Pipe Ceremony, Red River Cart Making Workshop, and a Vest Making Gathering. If you would like more information about the events email Nagao at hanako.nagao1@ gmail.com, or Denise Porter at hal.deniseporter@gmail.com.

Local youth went to Golden Secondary School to participate in a Fiddle Camp, offered by the MNCRS. Photo Submitted

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Town of Golden hosted a Young Leaders Meeting on Mar. 5 at the Civic Centre as a follow up to the youth focus group that met for the first time last month. Nearly 20 18-35 year olds, along with Mayor Christina Benty and Town Communications Intern Faith Dusevic, were present at the meeting and led much of the discussion.

The group developed as a result of both low voter turnout and civic participation among the younger demographic, with goals of increasing youth interest in both municipal politics and decision making.

“How can we make people care about voting?” asked Dusevic. “I have friends that don’t care to get involved or to find out information.”

In response, one participant believed that people don’t always understand the correlation between who they are voting for and how it might impact them in the future.

“I don’t even know the direct relation between who sits on the Town Council and the decisions that are made in town,” she said.

“I think our generation is very results-oriented

2014-01-17 11:59 AM

and we can’t stay focused for a long time,” said another attendee. “When it goes through a first, second and third reading at council, it’s like two months down the road where we are getting somewhere and by then we’re gone.”

Most agreed that they are less informed than what they would like to be, and Facebook was seen as a good way for youth to receive information regarding town council in a quick and concise manner.

A few attendees believed it was hard to relate to the current group of Town councillors and that a younger representative would increase youth participation in municipal politics “How do we get younger people running for council and actually finding a place at the table?” asked Mayor Benty. “Are you going to let the 55 year old plus group decide the future?”

Challenges to having youth run for government included the large time commitment that it takes to serve on council and the low salary earned by council members.

The focus group plans to meet again in the near future and most attendees agreed that it would be great to have town councillors present for a portion of the discussion.

This is what north Golden looked like in 1905, just shortly after the write-up below was written by the Board of Trade.

Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum

Golden described as ‘prosperous’ in late 1800s The following is a write up from the Board of Trade in 1895: Golden is a prosperous, enterprising town located in the eastern part of British Columbia, near the confluence of the Kicking Horse and Columbia rivers. The town is on the main line of the C.P.R., 1007 miles from Winnipeg and 475 miles from Vancouver.

It is the initial terminal for the - Turning Back the Pages steam boat transportation company

By Colleen Palumbo and the stage lines to the mining districts in this part of the Province; and is the commercial metropolis of Eastern British Columbia.

The churches – English, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic and Methodist, are sustained by large and enthusiastic congregations who worship in substantial church edifices.

A lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows has a large membership.

The homes of Golden will compare favorably – artistically and architecturally – with many eastern towns. These homes are not only models of comfort and convenience but are homes in the deepest, noblest, truest sense of the term.

The hospital here is partially supported by the Provincial Government and by the local citizens and is one of the most meritorious and worthy enterprises in the district. It is superintended by skillful medical practitioners who have the best interests of the institution at heart.

A curling rink offers recreative amusement to lovers of the “roarin’ game” while the skating rink is well patronized by the youth and beauty of Golden.

As a summer resort Golden might bid with success for popular favor. The country is replete with romantic scenery, interesting drives, delightful boating and sailing, good fishing and hunting, shady retreats, excellent camping grounds, while a trip on the Columbia will ever afford a pleasant remembrance.

There is no better criterion to judge the progress and culture of a community than is to be found in examination of its educational resources. In this respect Golden has kept fill pace with her progress in other lines, and there is no town of her size in the province possessing a better system of education than is to be found here.

The instructions afforded are amply practical, great attention being paid to the preparation of pupils for entrance into the greatest schools of the world.

Scarcely a vacant office, store or house is to be found in town.

The climate is one of the most delightful to be imagined, being conducive to longevity.

All lines of business are well represented and the merchants, while having no cause to complain of a rush of trade, are each doing a good and growing business. There is room for more enterprises here that would be of advantage to the town and should prove sources of profit to their projectors.

The question might be asked – “What has Golden to back it up and secure prosperity in the future?” She has unlimited forests, unknown quantities of the precious minerals, a rich farming country, the finest stock and range country in the world; she is the head of navigation on the Upper Columbia, and she has a smelter, and is a first class fur market.

Golden is indeed a jewel set in gold and silvered mounting as the mines in the surrounding and tributary mountainous country and rapidly being developed and will some become world famous producers.

Every commercial traveler will tell you Golden is the best town; that more goods are sold here and collections are prompter than elsewhere.

Come and see Golden. You need not stay unless you wish. If farming, stock raising or mining is an object stop here and you can make a fortune, if you manage wisely. If you desire health, vigor of body and mind; if you like to live where there is sunshine by day and the stars are all twinkling by night, why not come here? Health is the first thing to be considered. Here you’ll find it.

The future growth of Golden will be sure and steady. This is a town of business enterprise and is a town of manifold resources. Golden is all right; the past is secure and the future is assured.

Those who have left for other places are sorry they went away and those who have remained have congratulated themselves on their good sense. Stick by Golden and you will share in her general prosperity. She shines like a sapphire on the swelling bosom of the richest stretch of country the sun ever shone on.

She is a town of happy homes and prosperous enterprises.

Happy is the lot of the dweller within her gates, fortunate is the possessor of an enterprise in her midst; for his prosperity is assured.

First time registrants bring bc health card and birth certificate. we are planning to start the season April 14 th and have a wind-Up Jamboree on Saturday June 14 th. please consider coaching (contact Vic luigi@persona.ca) or refereeing (contact gmsareg@gmail.com) come out and play the beautiful Game!

Dogtooth Climbing Gym to host spring break camp for kids Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net With spring break fast approaching, Dogtooth Climbing Gym is giving parents an option to get their kids off the couch and out of the house for a few hours.

The gym’s climbing camp is for kids aged five and over and will run with four different camps from Monday to Thursday. Kids can be enrolled in a session for $45 which includes four hours of climbing games, activities and instruction over the course of two days (either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday). Camps will run both weeks of spring break.

Campers aged nine and over will get into more advanced techniques and belaying skills, while kids aged five and over will mostly participate in climbing games. Snacks and drinks will also be provided.

Ian Archbold, Dogtooth’s owner since its opening, sees climbing as a good opportunity for all types of active kids.

“Most of the kids that come to the camps are generally fairly active kids that ski and bike and all that kind of stuff,” Archbold said. “There are exceptions but generally they tend to be the more enthusiastic kids.”

Climbing and bouldering is a growing sport that has seen an influx of new participants of late and Dogtooth has a small, but loyal, group of participants among its clients. Archbold believes the attraction is simple.

“It’s a lot of fun, some people just don’t like it but some people love it and they live for climbing,” he said. “I’ve met a lot of people and all they want to do is climb…I think it’s quite a cathartic kind of experience, it’s potentially dangerous and you’re very focused on what you are doing. I think it can be quite addictive to a lot of people.”

Dogtooth boasts over 100 top roping and lead climbing routes in its main climbing area as well as a bouldering cave and a full gear store. For more information on the camps, or the gym itself, log on to dogtoothgym.com.

Dogtooth’s climbing camp will run both weeks of spring break and costs $45 per child.

Dogtooth Dash returns to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Dogtooth Dash, one of the biggest ski mountaineering races in Canada, is returning to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort on Mar. 21 and 22 giving locals and seasoned ski-mo athletes alike a chance to see the resort in a whole new light. “(The Dogtooth Dash) has probably the best turnout as far as racers, it’s the longest race and its got the most interesting terrain including high alpine terrain above the tree line, lots of vertical ascent and descent, and its got the most technical terrain too,” said Eric Carter, one of the two race directors for the Dash.

The race weekend will begin on Mar. 21 with an 8001000 metre vertical ascent under the stars after the resort has been emptied out and cleared. Torches will lead racers up the course which will go from the main lodge at the base of the mountain to the Heaven’s Door Yurt.

“It’s a new format for us and it’s somewhat uncommon

in North America to have a race like that,” said Carter.

“We think it’s an interesting thing to add on. It’s definitely a challenge for the elite guys to push each other there, but also for somebody who’s maybe not comfortable descending or is just getting into the ski-mo racing type of thing it would be a good first experience.”

The main race will take place the following day on a course that Carter helped lay out. All participants, both recreational skiers and experts, will start together at the top of the gondola, with the elite skiers continuing on a different course after the race’s opening loop.

Carter, who made some changes to the course from last year, had plenty of terrain to work with at Kicking Horse. One of the most important aspects of the course layout process was ensuring that the route was both varied and challenging.

“One of our big focuses was picking terrain where the descents were fall-line descents rather than traverses and going off in different directions,” Carter said. “And then we also wanted to find descents that

were technical enough that you can’t just ski straight down them, you have to make some turns.”

Another focus for Carter was picking some of the more spectacular terrain for ascending.

“We tried to pick some really cool terrain that you’re booting up quite steep slopes and you have good views on all sides.”

Ski-mo has grown in popularity in recent years as more and more people head into the backcountry.

Carter, like many ski-mo racers, got his start with nordic skiing and eventually progressed to ski-mo.

“I think people are getting kind of tired of staying in bounds at a resort on a groomed trail, to be able to go anywhere and tackle kind of mountaineering terrain and things like that is quite appealing,” said Carter about the growing popularity of ski-mo.

Those who don’t wish to participate but would like to be involved in the race nonetheless can sign up to volunteer as race marshals. Volunteers will receive lift tickets for Saturday and Sunday and will be invited to a post-race party and dinner on Saturday night.

GSS Bantam boys basketball team wraps up successful season Len Oszust Bantam Boys Basketball Coach Story submitted

This season the Golden Secondary School Bantam Boys Basketball Team had a slow start as a couple of their Okanagan tournaments were cancelled.

But they were able to fill the holes and get on with their season.

Despite some players who were new to the game, the team worked hard, developed together and competed hard against their opponents.

The team battled in their tournaments with a second place finish and a couple of third place finishes while taking one game into triple overtime to see who moved on to the finals.

The team finished with a disappointing, yet strong third

place in the East Kootnay finals.

They missed a berth in the finals by three points in a hard fought game against Creston.

Several people and companies have helped out the team this year. CP Rail provided the players with team hoodies. Cal Gas Inc. purchased medals and prizes for our raffle fundraiser. LP also donated $250 towards the season’s costs.

Overwatiea Foods and Sobeys also donated water for all the team’s tournaments.

Last, but not least, Roberta and Becky at the GSS front office helped make the season run smoothly with all of their hard work.

Finally, a very special thank you to Team Manager Jim deBolebec. Who once again prepped planned and implemented our season.

Avalanche safety Minor Hockey Mini Olympics Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Golden Minor Hockey spent last week at the Golden Arena, participating in the Mini Olympics to celebrate their season, which is nearly over.

StarCROSSWORD

In an area like Kicking Horse Country, especially this past week, avalanche awareness is a necessity.

And that is even more true when it comes to skiing and snowboarding.

Many people don’t realize what kind of terrain they are venturing into (even if they have grown up in the area), particularly avalanche terrain. Around 65 per cent of the skiable in bounds terrain at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is prone to avalanching.

The KHMR ski patrol is holding a free, one-day program for youth to become better informed on avalanche terrain.

In the last decade the professional avalanche industry has observed a noticeable rise in the amount of people skiing beyond the boundaries of ski areas.

At the same time it has been noticed there is a lack of education throughout the skiing/snowboarding population regarding the avalanche phenomena.

To address this issue the Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) has developed a multitude of educational programs.

The CAC came up with a new initiative to encourage avalanche professionals to “Pay It Forward”. The idea is to encourage those who have been educated, trained and mentored about safe backcountry practices to share their knowledge and experience with the local skiing/riding youth. The KHMR Safety Team quickly embraced that idea thinking it would greatly benefit the Golden shredders. Their contribution is going to be a one day event specifically tailored to the needs of the skiing/riding youth in our community.

Friday March 21st, during March Break, the Kicking Horse Ski Patrol will hold a free one day program. Any young rider aged between 10 and 12 that is able to ski a blue run at KHMR is welcome to join in this fun filled day!

You can get more information and sign up with a parent at Guest Services at the KHMR Day Lodge.

Tell us what you're up to!

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:
