The strike comes less than a week after the B.C. Teachers’ Federation rejected the government’s latest six year proposal. The six year term of the proposal (and the inclusion of a $1,200 signing

bonus) was a positive step from the BCTF’s perspective, but the offer wasn’t good enough to avoid a strike.

“They keep coming to the table without any changes to class size and composition and they haven’t really come forward with a salary proposal that is equivalent to what other public sector unions are getting,” said Mike Archibald, president of the Golden Teacher’s Association.

According to B.C. Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, it is the parents and students who are

the real victims of the labour dispute.

“Parents and students don’t deserve this disruption. We should be resolving this dispute at the negotiating table, not in the classroom or on the picket line,” Fassbender said in a statement.

The government’s plan to cut teacher’s wages by 5 per cent or more during strike action was seen as “disrespectful” by BCTF president Jim Iker.

The BCTF says that rotating strikes could continue next week if the B.C. government doesn’t put more money on the table.

Goldenite helps with black bear cub rescue Arne Petryshen Black Press

Custom Cabinetry

Two orphaned bear cubs are now safe after a rescue operation that included help from Golden Northern Lights Wildlife Society volunteer Wendy Chambers.

The bears were discovered when a group of Cranbrook hikers came across two young bear cubs up Bull River Road on Victoria Day weekend.

“There were two teeny-tiny baby bears,” said Stephanie McGregor, one of the hikers. “The smallest bears I’ve ever seen in my life so we pulled over and we just sat in our vehicles.

“I thought for sure the mama bear would be coming up right away.

We sat there for awhile and she wasn’t coming. I was kind of getting more worried and more worried.”

McGregor called the Conservation Officers (CO) office, but got the hotline. Next she called her friend Colleen Bailey. “She’s an experienced animal rescuer — that’s kind of what she does.”

Bailey immediately contacted the Northern Lights Wildlife Society in Smithers, B.C. The shelter had room for the cubs, but wanted them to be sure the bears were orphaned.

The shelter has helped more than 200 black bears, as well as a number of Grizzly and Kermode bears.

Soon some tourists from Ohio, who’d come to take photos of hummingbirds, came upon the bears and set up their tripods to take photos.

“There was just no way that momma was around with these people hanging around,” McGregor said. “We called back to the shelter and she gave us word to capture them. She was in touch with the COs and all the proper authorities.”

COs later confirmed that the mother had likely been mistakenly shot by a hunter and left unreported.

Bailey, a technical animal rescuer, is trained in how to work with fractious, or unruly, animals.

She said she

One of the two orphaned cubs that was rescued after being discovered near Cranbrook by some hikers. Photo Submitted approached it like any frightened animal that can cause damage.

“I put on heavy gloves and protected my arms with a heavy jacket,” Bailey said. “I walked up and they were weak enough that I could approach them and grab them.”

The first cub tried to go up a tree, but was so weak it ended up falling back. Bailey caught it and put it in a portable kennel. The second cub got even further up a tree, but Bailey got him by the rear end.

They drove back to Bailey’s house, where they weighed the bears — a brother and sister — and got them some bear gruel to eat.

of the situation they were in. It’s a very sensitive time already for cubs of this age when they are first out from hibernation and in the wild with their mother.

It will take a long while for them to overcome the stress of the whole situation,” said Chambers.

From there, the owners of Northern Lights took the bears, driving 10 hours each way to pick them up.

McGregor said the bears will be rehabilitated then hopefully released back into the wild in a year or so.

“We couldn’t believe how everyone came together for these bears,” she said. “It’s so amazing.”

The bears were quite dehydrated and starving, but they were in good enough shape to be transported to Smithers. But a flight couldn’t be lined up, as the animal inspector wasn’t available over the weekend.

On Monday, McGregor and Bailey drove the bears to Golden. There they met Chambers, who drove the bears to Jasper.

Chambers stopped numerous times during the journey to check up on the bears.

An artists rendering of what the new playground at APES will look like when completed.

BDI Play Designs Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The school year wraps up next month but it’ll be a busy summer around Alexander Park Elementary nonetheless, as construction begins on APES’ new playground.

The construction has been on hold since last fall so that it wouldn’t interfere with the school year. The $180,000 facility is scheduled to be ready when students return in September.

Chenoa Paccagnan, a three year member of the Parent Advisory Council, spearheaded the project through a variety of fundraisers, grant

applications and business solicitations. In the end, $140,000 was raised, and the school district will cover the final $40,000.

When Paccagnan was working to get the funds together, she didn’t have much luck with businesses outside of Golden and was denied on several occasions when making grant applications for national campaigns.

“If you look at the list of sponsors it is primarily from Golden, which is huge…the response for this project was absolutely tremendous,” Paccagnan said. “This project would never have happened without the people in the community.”

The need for a new playground was considerable, as the current, 25+ year-old structure is at the very end of its life cycle and failing to meet most contemporary safety standards.

“The wood is so old the paint is gone and it’s splintered and chemically treated. The fireman’s pole doesn’t meet regulation, there’s all sorts of things,” said Paccagnan.

The biggest highlight of the new playground, and the reason for its steep price tag, is the accessibility it provides for all children.

“It has this rubber surface that allows children with restricted or limited mobility to access the toys. It also has a large number of ground level toys for children in wheelchairs or who can’t climb and it has a specifically dedicated wheelchair toy,” Paccagnan said. “(The playground) will benefit all of the children in Golden.”

Tribunal rules in favour of discriminated tree planters near Golden

Workers for Khaira Enterprises outside a notorious tree planting camp near Golden in 2010.

File Photo Jeff Nagel Black Press A B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a Surreybased tree planting company to pay more than $600,000 in compensation to 55 African workers it discriminated against at camps in the Golden-Revelstoke area in 2010.

Khaira Enterprises ran camps in the B.C. Interior and abused and discriminated against African refugees working there, according to a ruling released Friday.

The company owners have been

ordered to pay each affected worker $10,000 plus another $1,000 for each additional month they worked after the first one.

African workers who testified before the tribunal likened their treatment to slavery, and while tribunal member Norman Trerise did not go that far, he found they were racially harassed and underpaid compared to Caucasian and South Asian workers.

“I find that the actions of Khaira and its principals in favouring the South Asian and Cauca-

sian workers over the African workers was discriminatory on the basis of race, colour and place of origin,” his ruling found.

Trerise found they suffered embarrassment, a degree of depression, frustration and loss of selfesteem as a result of the discrimination.

Some workers were also subject to sexual harassment.

As for dismal camp conditions, the ruling said all workers were exposed to them.

Khaira’s owners are also restricted from future work in the silviculture

industry.

The province terminated its contract with Khaira after its workers were discovered in squalor, some of them saying they hadn’t eaten in two days, and a series of investigations ensued.

Khaira was previously ordered by B.C.’s forest safety ombudsman to repay more than $236,800 in unpaid wages but workers got less than half of that and only because the province withheld the money and redirected it to them.

Khalid Bajwa, the owner of Khaira Enterprises, has been charged with fraud and forgery.

Court documents allege that Bajwa forged two fire suppression certificate documents and that he defrauded two representatives of B.C. forestry companies. Bajwa pleaded not guilty and the case is awaiting trial.

Sarah Khan, one of two lawyers with the BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre who argued the case in front of the human rights tribunal, said they were very happy with the ruling.

RCMP: Witness avoids subpoena Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Witness avoids subpoena A witness in a trial had been avoiding their subpoena to appear in court.

Officers made several attempts to obtain the crucial witness but were unsuccessful and the case was stayed as a result. The officer returned to the residence the following day and the witness, knowing they were no longer required for the trial came out to speak with the officer, only to discover the officer was there on an unrelated matter. The subject had a number of outstanding warrants from another province which had been extended. The subject was arrested, held and later transferred to the Province of Jurisdiction.

Twice the bad luck.

A motorist’s vehicle broke down on Hwy 1 near

Donald on May 17. The owner left the vehicle there overnight to arrange for pick up the following day. When they returned they found their window had been smashed in and someone had stolen items including paint ball equipment, fishing rods and tackle. Anyone with information is asked to call the Golden RCMP. Hit and run on Highway 1 A motorist from Olds, Alta. was travelling east on Hwy 1 through the Tupper Tunnel Snow shed when he was struck from behind by a Calgary motorist on May 21. The victim pulled over at the first pullout but the suspect continued east on Hwy #1. A license plate was obtained for the suspect’s vehicle and the investigation continues. Charges are expected.

Lost Albertan On May 22, a report

was received of a person passed out near the railway tracks in town. Officers responded to find an intoxicated male from Alberta down an embankment near the tracks. The male was not injured but had no place to go. The subject was held in a cell until he was sober.

Fine for unlicensed driver Police received a report of a possible impaired driver on May 22. The vehicle was being driven at inconsistent speeds and swerving in and out of its lane.

Police located the vehicle which was being driven by a 19-year-old female who was found to have no driver’s license. The female was issued a $276 fine.

Luckily the passenger of the vehicle was the holder of a valid license and was able to continue driving.

“We think It’s great the tribunal has recognized that what happened to these workers does amount to discrimination on the basis of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour and sex,” she said.

Khan said tribunal member Norman Trerise did a “very thorough job” and that he made a few key findings, notably relating to the existence of antiblack racism in Canada.

“He accepted that it’s very difficult for black people in Canada, that things can be quite difficult in terms of equal access in Canadian society,” she said. “That’s really important to recognize because most of the complainants came through the refugee system to Canada from Congo, Burundi, Rwanda and Guinea.

“Norman Trerise found the employer has a duty to ensure a respectful workplace and erase poisonous workplace environments and

the complaint was fully justified.”

Khan hopes the ruling will help spur various actions that will eradicate racism in Canada.

“We continue to hear about incidents like this, while not as extreme as

Behind the Wheel

what happened at Khaira,” Khan said.

“I think we all have a responsibility to work to get rid of it.”

Be Smart About Vehicle Modifications There are many different types of vehicle manufactured today in many different models and colours with a host of accessories to make your ride just right for you. For some of us, this just isn’t enough and we want to modify our vehicles to suit our personalities and desires.

Some of these modifications are unique and permitted by law, but some are unsafe and will put you in conflict with vehicle safety rules. How do you know what is allowed and what isn’t?

One might think that a vehicle purchased new or used from a dealership would be a pretty safe bet to be legal. After all, it is illegal for someone (dealer or not) to display a vehicle for sale or sell it if it is not equipped as required by the Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations.

Unfortunately it is still “buyer beware” here too as it is not as illegal modifications are not as uncommon as you would expect, particularly in relation to window tinting.

Common sense might be your next thought. If it wasn’t legal, the businesses should not be able to sell the parts to you, should they? If that was true, you would not see ram’s head taillight covers, black plastic covers for all lights, light bulbs in all colours of the rainbow and many other common modifications. Beware of the small print: “Consult your local authorities...”It’s usually a pretty good indication that you may not want to use it.

Do you have any questions? There are probably three good places to go for advice, the local traffic enforcement unit, Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement and your local designated inspection facility. It is always better to ask first and avoid both legal difficulties and wasting the money spent on illegal equipment that will have to be removed.

Charlie Russell and a lifetime spent living with grizzly bears

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar. net

Charlie Russell grew up near Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta and developed an intense passion for grizzly bears while working on a documentary film with his father. That passion has led him to study bears both at home on his southern Alberta ranch and for more than 10 years in Kamchatka, Russia.

His father’s idea to shoot a documentary about grizzlies in the wild was unique for 1960. Other films had looked at grizzlies in captivity, but not in the wild. At just 20 years old, Russell was hired

to be a cameraman for the documentary.

“It was an amazing introduction to bears for me,” Russell said.

“What I saw was an animal that didn’t seem to fit with all of the stories we told about them…I saw an animal that seemed to be peace loving and wanted to get along with us if we’d ever give them a chance.”

Later, in an effort to give bears that chance, he allowed his cattle to co-exist alongside grizzlies, something that most ranchers would tell you is asking for trouble.

“I wanted the bears to be free to come and go and to be on the place and I saw some amazing things,” said

Russell. “In 18 years I don’t think I lost one cow to a bear.”

Eventually, Russell took a job as a guide with a company that ran grizzly bear viewing tours before moving to Russia to study them abroad.

Strangely enough, despite all of his time spent around grizzlies, Russell’s only life-threatening encounter with bears came at the hands of a black bear many years ago. That experience was an eye opener and showed him the potential danger bears represent.

“It got me really thinking. It embarrassed me that I made that mistake (of underestimating

Charlie Russell will be sharing his stories about a life among bears in Golden on June 7.

bears) and I almost got killed by it,” said Russell.

Timothy Treadwell, the subject of Werner Herzog’s documentary Grizzly Man, was perhaps the most wellknown person to live with bears. His story ended tragically when he and his girlfriend were attacked and killed by a grizzly bear in Katmai National

Park in Alaska.

Like Russell, Treadwell dedicated his life to understanding grizzly bears. The two men, however, had very different approaches towards living alongside bears and Russell had frequent conversations with Treadwell about safety.

“I probably did more to try and keep

him alive than anyone,” said Russell. “We had a running argument about whether he should be carrying pepper spray or putting an electric fence around his camp because I was worried about him. I’ve never said that bears are not dangerous. I used to say to him ‘Timothy, there’s a few bears out there that will hurt

you and you’ve got to guard against that’.”

Russell will be sharing his stories and experiences in Golden on June 7 through a slideshow presentation at the Golden Cinema.

Illegal dumping an issue during gardening season

WorksafeBC – Workers’ Compensation Board of B.C. hereby gives notice of proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (BC Reg. 296/97, as amended)

The proposed amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (“OHSR”) being taken to public hearings pertain to the following items: • General Conditions, section 4.1.1 Snow avalanche assessment – Resolve the implementation issues with the avalanche risk assessment regulations • General Conditions, section 4.69 Emergency lighting – Update the reference to the BC Fire Code

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Gardening season is here, and Conservation Officer Alex Desjardins wants to make sure that Golden residents are disposing of their yard and garden waste, or greens, appropriately.

“I’d like to send out the message that dumping on Crown land is illegal,” said Desjardins.

“Some people seem to think that because it is natural, or biodegradable, waste, that it is alright to dump.

“Even dumping yard waste and greens, is illegal because that leads to people putting it in garbage bags, and that leads to people dumping more illegal stuff like TVs. It escalates.”

The Golden Landfill, operated by the CSRD, accepts greens for a minimal charge. And the fine for illegal dumping is $575.

You can report violators through the RAPP line, 1-877-952-7277. Complaints can remain anonymous.

You are invited to provide feedback on the proposed regulatory amendments. Your views may be presented orally at the public hearings and/or submitted in writing.

Recycling changes a mistake

Nobody wins in strike

boxes.

Why are you putting us through this nightmare?

We’re paying for a service and now we’re being forced to make their jobs a cakewalk?

Why not pay us to sort through all our recycling?

Give all of us a cheque each week so that we get paid for doing work that should be done by paid recycling employees.

I don’t like how we’re being taken for the fools you think we are.

Do not change our recycling programme, please.

It works just fine the way it is. All you want to do is save yourself some money in the government. This is unjust.

I respect you, but this decision is for the birds.

Dear Editor,

Schools were closed in Golden on Monday in the first day of rotating strikes across the province. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is unhappy over class sizes, wages, and a lack of resources to help with special needs students in the classroom.

Joel Tansey The B.C. government S TAR R EPORTER doesn’t believe class sizes are large - according to their figures 42 per cent of all classes have fewer than 24 students, and 57 per cent have between 24 and 30 students. They also believe their latest offer, which included a BCTF-preferred six-year term, a 6.5 per cent wage increase and a $1,200 signing bonus was a fair compromise for both sides.

Having moved to this province less than a year ago, I don’t feel I’m ready to take a side in the current labour dispute between the BCTF and the BCPSEA. I’ve read plenty of the discussion (and even more rhetoric) that’s come from both sides, but these kinds of labour issues go back years and years and are often rooted in deep-seeded mistrust thanks to previous failed negotiations. Call that a cop-out, if you will, but I’m prepared to stay seated on the proverbial fence, for now.

One thing I do know, however, is that a strike is a lose-lose-lose-lose situation for everyone involved.

The teachers on the picket lines will have to suffer lost wages (the government said last week that teacher’s wages will be cut by 10 per cent in the case of rotating strikes).

The Liberal government will face immense public pressure to get a deal done, whether the public agrees with the teachers’ stance or not, and will have the black mark of another strike on its political record.

Most of all, however, it’s B.C.’s students and parents, who are caught up in this mess, that suffer the most.

While some students in Golden might have enjoyed having a long weekend, continued strike action could have severe negative effects on the province’s 500,000+ K-12 students. In response to the union’s strike action, the BCPSEA has issued a stop-work order that could eventually disrupt student graduation ceremonies and exams. I can’t imagine that would be welcome news for Grade 12 students who are looking to finish their last few credits and move on to college or university this fall.

For parents, not only are they affected through how it is affecting their children, but many will be forced to take time off work in order to look after their kids for as long as a strike persists. Will the B.C. government or the BCTF be there to help them make up for their lost wages? Doubtful.

Schools re-opened in Golden on Tuesday, for now.

Let’s hope for everyone’s sake that it stays that way.

This is an open letter to Premier Christy Clark: I’d like to make a statement regarding our recycling programme that you want to change here in Kelowna.

The programme we have works beautifully. We pay enough through our taxes so that we can keep the perfect programme that we have now. We can recycle everything, right down to plastic bags. It’s wonderful.

Now you’re changing things so that not only are we being forced to do all the recycling employees do who work at depots by separating all the recycling, we’re being prohibited from recycling certain things including plastic bags. We’re losing our nice, large bins and we’re being forced to store multiple small

Job Action a waste To the editor, Teachers appear to live in a world all their own, although I think it’s primarily the radical BCTF who have the problem.

They appear to have the attitude “we don’t care about anyone or anything else, we want it our way.” They’ve had that attitude for as long as I can remember.

I think the majority of the non-radical, sensible teachers (the silent majority) just go along for the ride.

In the end, hopefully the government will force them back to work. What a waste of time and energy.

Sad lesson on bullying

Flash forward to May 16, 2014, when government bargaining spokesperson Peter Cameron said teachers’ pay would be docked.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Cameron’s comment wasn’t a threat. The Oxford Dictionary defines threat: “A statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done.”

Continued on page 7

Dear editor, On June 1, 2012, Premier Christy Clark announced a province-wide 10-point anti-bullying strategy to help ensure every child feels safe, accepted and respected. Clark said: “That’s why when I became Premier, I promised to address bullying in our school system as a high priority for my government.”

Golden point of view

Are you on the teachers’ side in the current labour dispute?

Rob Stervenc

Stacey Stowell

Tyler Chartrand

“No, because considering how teachers are paid in other provinces I think they are asking a little too much.”

“Yes. I back them 100%. They’re taking care of our kids, it’s an important job.”

“Yes. I believe they are underpaid for the work that they do.”

Go to www.thegoldenstar.net to have your say.

Continued from page 6 So if you believe Fassbender, you’ll also believe the government is removing the toll from the new Port Mann Bridge.

On May 21, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association told the BCTF that effective May 26, teachers will be docked five per cent of their pay for participating in job action. If teachers then launch rotating strikes, teachers’ salaries will be docked 10 per cent.

So while Clark promised to address bullying in our school system, it is unfortunate that she and her subordinates see nothing wrong with bullying and threatening the children’s teachers.

Minister recognizes paramedic services week British Columbia’s paramedics are an integral part of provincial health-care teams and deliver a wide range of emergency medical services including patient transfer, 9-11 response, and emergency services. They are also the vital initial contact patients have with our health-care system in times of crisis or emergency.

Our province’s over 3,800 paramedics respond to over 500,000 calls every year providing life-saving treatment and transportation for more than 4.4 million B.C. residents in urban, rural and remote regions throughout the province.

Paramedics’ skills and training make them well-suited for a variety of patient-care settings. We are exploring new roles for paramedics in patients’ homes and communities. In most cases, paramedics already have the skills and our government wants to make sure that they have as much professional opportunity as possible as we move to new innovative patient-care models in all regions of the province.

The recent tentative, five-year contract with health-care workers, including paramedics, will enable them to better utilize their skills and expand their career opportunities.

Once the agreement is ratified, we will work with paramed-

ics to develop these and other opportunities for them to perform an expanded role in our health system in communities throughout the province. This is part of an increased focus on patient-centred care and will reduce 9-1-1 calls, visits to the emergency room - and will utilize the skills of paramedics in areas that can be rewarding for paramedics and patients.

B.C.’s paramedics are health professionals with much to offer the overall health-care system. Finding innovative ways to use their skills will allow for better health-care options and better career opportunities for paramedics themselves.

As we find more innovative ways to improve patientcentred care in the province, I know that British Columbia’s paramedics will be an important part of this progress towards a more responsive, functional and efficient health care-system.

Principal’s Report: Busy month ahead for Lady Grey Elementary Janne Arlt LGES Principal

June is always a busy month and this year is no exception. Last Friday, our Free the Children group of Gr. 6 and 7 students held a final fundraiser in a year-long project to raise enough money to build a well in another country. Their goal to help a community have clean water has been admirable and the whole school has gotten behind them. The support of the community has been awesome and, with the proceeds from this Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser, the goal has been reached! It was an amazing event, showcasing some of our school and community talent. Thanks to all that helped to make the evening a great success.

Classes have been busy working on year end assessments in reading and writing, as well as doing a variety of projects using technology in many different ways. Our Read Naturally Program is nearing the end of its final session and many students have made significant increases in their reading achievement through participation in this program.

Students have been doing gymnastics in P.E. and each class enjoyed a visit to Coach Christine at the Kicking Horse Gymnastics club. Thanks to our Lady Grey PAC for making that visit possible!

Our Grade 7s also have the opportunity to go to the golf course for 2 lessons. The swim program is starting up in June and some field trips have been happening. Check out backpacks and emails for updates on events and schedules.

Spring 2014 Did you know?

Lawns Watering a lawn can do more harm than good if the lawn is not watered correctly. Excessive watering is a waste of water and can cost homeowners money while harming the environment at the same time. Water that is not absorbed by the lawn can result in runoff, which causes nitrogen in the grass, any fertilizer that was applied and chemicals in the water itself to run into gutters and eventually pollute streams, rivers and oceans. In addition, grass needs oxygen in the soil to grow properly. But when a lawn is overwatered, the oxygen between the soil particles is pushed out, depriving roots of the oxygen they need to grow in strong. This leads to shallow root systems, which make a lawn more susceptible to stress, disease and insect infestation. But overwatering can also be unsightly, as lawns that are overwatered tend to have more weeds, robbing even the greenest of lawns of its aesthetic appeal.

Roses Hours 10am - 6pm 7 days a week Phone (250)344-4845 777 Barber Rd. Golden, B.C. mountainsidegardens.ca

Several varieties of roses are thornless or have very few thorns. Many plant breeders have developed roses without thorns, which are particularly safe for elderly gardeners, gardeners who have young children or pets or those who simply do not want to worry about thorns on their rose bushes. Smooth Touch roses are a popular and thorn-free breed of rose developed in California in the 1960s by Harvey Davidson. These roses are touted as 95 to 100 percent free of thorns. Some of the Smooth Touch series include, “Ballerina,” “Moonlight” and “Snowflake.” A moderate climber, the “Zephirine Drouhin,” named after the wife of a French rose enthusiast, is another popular thorn-free breed of rose. Several multiflora ramblers that descended from Asian rose species also are free of thorns. “Ghislaine de Feligonde,” “Veilchenblau,” “Goldfinch,” and “Ice Tea” are others that feature thorn-free canes and stems.

Flowers

Many flowers compete with one another to attract butterflies, birds and bees for pollination, but at least two species of flowering plants have enhanced their ability to attract insects in unique ways. The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanium) is native to western Sumatra, where it grows in openings in rainforests. It is the largest unbranched flower in the world and can reach up to 15 feet tall. But this alone is not what makes the titan arum so special. It is unwise to step in close to get a whiff of this enormous bloom, as the plant gives off a rancid odor reminiscent of rotting meat. It is sometimes known as the carrion plant or the corpse plant for this reason. The plant has created this scent to attract flies for pollination. The rafflesia, which is native to southeastern Asia as well, is another plant that produces a rotting aroma to attract insects. The rafflesia has no stems, leaves or true roots -- it’s basically one large flower.

Storage When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools. However, if space doesn’t allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret because there are other storage possibilities. Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for example. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating. In addition to an ottoman, a garden tool that can keep shovels and rakes organized.

Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment. Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea. Cover the perimeter of the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements.

Spring 2014 Golden Sprouts program at LGES

Come by and check out our greenhouse full of amazing items!

Some Lady Grey students have had the opportunity to learn the tricks of the gardening trade through the Golden Sprouts gardening program.

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Cheryl Klassen’s Grade 4/5 class at Lady Grey Elementary School has had the opportunity to get out of the classroom over the last few weeks and enjoy the spring weather as part of the Golden Sprouts Garden Mentor project.

As part of the program, students take a short walk down the street to a garden on the property of Sige Liebmann, where they have planted a variety of vegetables including potatoes, peas, spinach and lettuce.

The United Church has also offered the use of their garden for the project, and are being cared for by Klassen’s students as well.

The students are mentored by local volunteers Jean Dakin, Joyce Nixon and Donna Attewell and the program is coordinated by Caroline Heim.

Columbia Basin Trust and Wildsight helped with funding.

“It gets them outside and it gets them learning a life skill,” said Heim about the children that participate in the mentor project. “The goal is to have this keep going and to create a program that can selfsustain itself instead of having to get funding every year.”

Liebmann used to garden the property himself but has been too busy the last few summers.

“It’s great that I have found somebody who wants to garden it,” he said. “When they told me that it would be the kids out there gardening, it made it even more interesting because I think that’s important. That’s something that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.”

The students will continue to plant vegetables over the rest of the school year and Heim hopes that the kids and their parents will help maintain and make use of the garden throughout the summer.

After the fall harvest, plans are in place to have a dinner at Lady Grey that will incorporate some of the food that was grown at the garden.

Rodeo Grounds ready to host annual Delbert Johnson Memorial Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Cariann Breaton from Canal Flats won the open average class competition at last year’s event. This year’s barrell jackpot will take place on May 31 and June 1 at the Golden Rodeo Grounds.

Photo Submitted

Golden will have a decidedly western look to it on May 31 and June 1 when competitors from all over ride into the Golden Rodeo Grounds for the 2014 Delbert Johnson Memorial Barrel Jackpot.

The event, now in its second year, was named to honour Delbert Johnson, the longtime president of the Golden Light Horse Club.

“He was the original reason for the rodeo in the community, so we decided as a club that it would be nice to dedicate this to him,” said Club President Shelley Black.

There won’t be a rodeo this year but plans are in place to bring that event back in the near future. “(This event) has kind of made everybody have a little bit of rodeo spirit again,” said Black.

“The goal of the club is to hopefully, eventually bring back the west into our community and use the facility that our community has built.”

For this event, riders will compete in both a barrel jackpot and a pole bending event.

A barrel jackpot involves a

timed race around a figure eight track, while pole bending involves weaving in and out of a series of poles.

Prizes will be given out to the winners across multiple categories, so it won’t be just the top riders walking away with the cash.

Black is hoping the public will check out all or part of the two day event.

“I encourage everyone to come out and see what it’s all about,” said Black. “Put your hats and boots on and come on down and experience some good old fun.”

Refreshments will be available from the venue’s canteen and a BBQ will take place on the night of May 31 along with some live musical entertainment.

Early risers on Sunday morning will be able to partake in a pancake breakfast before the second day of riding gets underway.

All of this will help give the event something for everyone, The club will also host its usual fun days throughout the summer, with the first one scheduled to take place on May 25.

Anyone who is interested in volunteering for the Delbert Johnson Memorial should contact Black at 344-1425 or apacheshelley@gmail.com.

On Victoria Day weekend, several members of the Golden Shotokan Karate Society (GSKS) competed in the International Shotokan Karate Federation’s National Goodwill Tournament held in Calgary.

The boys in the 9-11 year- old category won a Gold medal in Team Kata where competitors must show skill and synchronicity in their Form. Elissia McClean brought home

two Bronze medals in her age category, one each for Kumite (defense against a partner) and Kata (Forms). The girls Team Kata only missed the medals by a few points. Well done team! Thanks go out to Tru Hardware, Mountainside Gardens, Parky’s and many individuals who provided sponsorship to the team.

Golden Museum celebrates 40th anniversary next week The Golden and District Historical Society would like to invite the citizens of Golden and its surrounding neighbouring communities to come celebrate with us the 40th Anniversary of the opening of the Golden Museum.

The celebration events will run from 5 – 7 pm on June 5th and everyone is welcome to attend. A hamburger toss will be underway consider coming on out to pur- Turning Back the Pages - so chase a burger and soft drink and

By Colleen Palumbo listen to the music of Travis and Larry Pickering. If you are a vendor and would like to sell your wares during the event please contact the museum for further information.

The following is a chronology of how the museum got started.

On Thursday, March 28th 1968, a number of interested citizens met at Alexander Park School to discuss the formation of a historical society to preserve records, pictures and artifacts pertaining to the Golden area.

Officers elected were: Mrs. Neil Cameron, Mr. William Wenman, Mrs. Margaret Woods, Mrs. Glenn Bernie and directors Mrs. N. King, Mrs T. Neville, Mr. C. Parson and Mr H. Graham.

The subject of a museum was brought up. Some of the old buildings in Golden were discussed.

In the spring of 1969, the Historical Society held a Walkathon from Parson to Golden, and collected over $10,000.

The raising of this sum was the first step in the construction of a museum for Golden.

At the annual meeting in March 1970, Peter Miller was elected president of the Golden and District Historical Society and immediately began to make plans for the construction of the museum. After investigating many possibilities about the location of the museum, the Elk Lodge came forward to donate 5

lots where the museum is located today.

Once they had a site located for the building they started to look for quotes to erect a building. The quote that they accepted was for forty dollars a square foot for a Steiner Arch building which could be erected on a foundation for $7,332.00 At this point, Uwe Sorenson joined the society and to his credit goes most of the construction of the Museum. Peter Miller designed the interior and looked after the costs.

The footings were poured by Historical Society members in June, 1971, and the Steiner Arch shell was erected shortly after.

To raise money, the society rented the building to Evans Products during the winter if 1971-72 for a storage place.

Another Walkathon was held as well as a winter skateathon.

Donations were received by various service clubs and a raffle was held of many donated items.

The floor of the museum was poured in November 1972.

Cabinets for the display of artifacts were designed by Naomi Miller.

The museum was officially opened to the public on June 1, 1974. The opening was performed by Mayor Zazulak, Bill Wenman and Cecil Parson. Music for the event was supplied by the Golden Secondary School Band.

In 1982 the old log schoolhouse, located at Brisco was moved to the museum property. After removing the roof in one piece, the building was dismantled one log at a time. Each lo9g was numbered and after trucking them to Golden the school was reassembled. Evans Products Co. donated some logs to replace rotted ones and a new floor had to be installed.

The school was cleaned, washed and painted inside and out and opened for the public on June 27, 1982.

The museum has, since that time brought the CPR Station to the compound, created and outdoor riverboat display and Pictured here at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the an outdoor kitchen. As this article is being prepared Yourrenocommunity.

Theresa (Terry) Mary Nixon (nee Strain) May 4, 1929 – April 23, 2014

It is with great sadness that the family of Theresa Nixon announces she passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 23, 2014 at the age of 84.

Theresa was born and raised in Fort McLeod, AB. She eventually moved to Cranbrook, BC where she met, and later married Harold, her husband of 59 years. Together they started their family of 3 boys in Parson, BC before moving back to Cranbrook. Theresa was adventurous and never one to sit still, always up for trying something new. She took up downhill skiing in her 60’s, went white water rafting, travelled to Thailand, went on all the rides in Disney World with her grandkids, and hiked up mountains. She enjoyed baking, we will all miss her homemade bread, buns, cinnamon buns cookies and Christmas squares. Other hobbies included knitting, word puzzles and walking. Theresa kept fit and active by walking every day, including her final days in Foothills hospital. She also always made sure that she had her week’s supply of lottery tickets on hand.

“Mother Theresa” (as she was known amongst family) never complained about anything and always put the needs of others ahead of her own. She was there to lend a hand to friends, family, or complete strangers. Theresa faced many adversities in her life head on and never got discouraged no matter how difficult things had become. She was never happier than when she was surrounded by her family, be it a casual evening sitting in the backyard, family vacations, birthday celebrations, weddings, or reunions.

Theresa leaves behind her 3 sons; Garth (Linda), Gord (Karen) and Lorne (Kim), 4 Grandchildren; Josh (Jill), Allison (Scott), Jeff (Terri), and Danielle (Davey), and 4 Great Grandchildren; Avery, Madelyn, Jace, and Kael. She is predeceased by her husband Harold, her daughter Baby girl Nixon, her grandson Joel, and her siblings Eugene, Joe, Madelyn, and Gwen.

Theresa never told us how to live our lives, she showed us.

Rest in Peace Mom. If friends so desire, Memorial tributes can be made directly to the BC Lung Association (www.bc.lung.ca) A funeral mass will be celebrated Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 12:00PM at Christ the Servant Catholic Church, 1100 - 14th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC with a reception to follow.

Enrico Dimaulo Feb. 15, 1925 to May 23, 2014 It is with deep sadness to announce the passing of our dearest Enrico, husband, father, and grandfather.

Enrico passed away at his home of Durand Manor which he resided for the past 2 years at the age of 89.

Enrico was born on February 15th 1925 in Alatri, Frosinone, Italy. He was the third child of ten siblings. He leaves behind his devoted wife Angela, who was always by his side. Three sons: Harry (Annette), John (Karen), Robert (Shannon). He adored his five grandboys: Christopher, Matthew, Jessie, Jamie, and Casey.

He also leaves his brother Alessandro (Maria) from Calgary, Gina, Giacinto and Americo which all still reside back home in Italy, and many nieces and nephews.

He was always devoted to his family and adored his grandchildren. He worked as a conductor for CP Rail for 33 years retiring in 1985. He loved his gardening and socializing with everyone in the neighbourhood. He loved to share with everyone his fruits of his labour, especially his plums. He will be sadly missed by all.

A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday May 31st at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church at 11 a.m. Following the service, there will be a reception at the Church Hall. Burial will be at the Golden Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Hindman Bower Funeral Service, Golden B.C

Chic was t he 4t h of 7 children born to William “Bill” and Evva Henderson in G olden, BC .

He rema i ned in Golden until the early 70’s at which time, he and his brother Br uce expanded t heir existing logging business to include heavy equipment hauling, operating as Hendersons’ Heavy Hauling, out of Cranbrook, BC. Through many long hours and much hard work their business continued to thrive until its sale in 1975.

Chic spent the rest of his career with Finning Caterpillar in Cranbrook, Terrace, and Prince George B.C. where at the age of 65 he retired as Manager of Used Equipment in the Prince George Division.

Upon retirement, Chic and Kay returned to Cranbrook and enjoyed countless years of golf in the summer and curling in the winter.

C h ic w a s s a d l y p r e de c e a s e d b y granddaughter Kari Girvin and brothers Bruce and Harold “Hub” Henderson.

Chic was admired by all and a friend to many, he will be missed.

A memorial ser vice for Chic was at McPherson’s Funeral Home in Cranbrook (2200 - 2nd Street South) on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 11:00 am.

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The idea of bio-energy healing might attract its fair share of skeptics, but Jennifer Green, owner of the newly opened Sun Stone Studio, is ready to convince the doubters.

“Come in for a free consultation and I’ll kind of give you an idea of what the healing is all about. Just let me work on you and you’ll feel it,” Green said. “Everybody is (skeptical at first).”

Bio-energy healing is a non-invasive and mostly touchless form of healing that works with your body’s energy to remove blockages caused by trauma, stress or injury.

“It’s almost like a beaver creating a dam. Trauma, stress or an injury would cause a dam in your energy. I’m essentially going in and removing that dam so that the energy begins to flow freely and you start to feel great,” Green said.

Green became a believer herself when the healing process helped her through a difficult time.

“I had severe depression and anxiety and nothing had worked for me. I was on quite a bit of medication for both and I was in a pretty bad place,” Green said. “I tried a lot of different avenues for healing and nothing was working for me until I found bio-energy at which point it changed my life completely within the span of two months.”

“I tried a lot of different avenues for healing and nothing was working until I found bio-energy.”

— Jennifer Green — After that, Green quit her job as a flight attendant in order to share the healing power of bio-energy with others.

Kristie McGregor works at Sunstone as a therapeutic yoga instructor and physiotherapist. She leads one on one therapeutic yoga sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays by appointment and has been practicing physiotherapy in Golden since 2010 and recently began to include the concept of yoga as a form of rehabilitation after completing her yoga teacher training in India in 2011.

“It was really neat to see how people were improving and how it was kind of an overall improvement in their lives,” McGregor said about mixing physiotherapy with yoga. “I realized this really works together…I was looking for sort of a bridge to that gap and that’s where the yoga therapy comes from.”

In addition to Green and McGregor, the studio also hosts workshops from three other yoga instructors, a certified spa practitioner and a motivational mentor.

The studio is also planning to lead a free yoga class for kids starting June 18 at the farmer’s market, as well as a class for guys called Broga.

“We’re trying to get something that will cater a little more to the genre. It’ll be a little bit tougher of a class, more holding poses, none of the namaste stuff,” said Green.
