Market fee increase rejected at council KHMR hosting a free gondola day at resort ..................................19

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net After a lively and, at times, emotional debate, Town Council rejected a proposal to increase the Golden Farmers’ Market (GFM) fees, preferring to further discuss its options for the market later this year.

The proposal to increase the market’s fees to

$3.50 per parking stall per day (the current fee for downtown sidewalk cafes) was brought forward by Coun. Keith Hern after the inequality between the market and restaurants was brought to his attention.

“I think it behooves the council to create an even playing field for all businesses in town,” said Coun. Hern.

Coun. Ron Oszust agreed with Coun. Hern’s

assessment that an even playing field needed to be created, but preferred a different approach that drew cheers and applause from the many farmers’ market organizers and vendors in attendance.

“I think we’ve been approaching this, from my perspective, the wrong way,” said Coun.

Oszust.

No deal reached over weekend, BC teachers go on strike Black Press Staff Writer An exchange of proposals between the B.C. Teachers' Federation and government negotiators on the weekend dissolved in acrimony Monday, with a full-scale strike in public schools already underway.

Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers' Association met until midnight Sunday, as the union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a "study session" on Monday.

The two sides con-

tradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers, and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached.

BCTF president Jim Iker said a complete strike is "imminent," after union members endorsed the move in their second provincewide strike vote.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province's 60 school districts.

BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said Monday he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clarifies the status of the union's "truckload of benefit proposals."

Cameron said the union's latest wage offer is a reduction from its previous position, but when

increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much compensation as other public sector union settlements.

BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday.

It describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus followed by increases of 3.5 per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years, for a total raise of 8 per cent plus compounding.

BCPSEA's latest offer includes a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year, and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes "economic stability dividend" amounts depending on B.C.'s economic performance. "[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer

Teachers first took to the picket lines last month during rolling strikes across the province. A full-scale strike is expected after a deal wasn’t reached over the weekend.

Golden man Chris Drysdale wins CSRD’s compost naming contest Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net A Golden man earned himself an iPad and a sample of compost after he won a naming contest for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s (CSRD) new compost product.

Chris Drysdale came up with the name Columbia Shuswap Kickin’ Compost and his entry was selected as the winning submission amongst 200+ other candidates.

“The guidelines for the contest stipulated that submissions should have some kind of regional significance…kickin’ comes from Kicking Horse and it’s just a popular local name with some history,” Drysdale said. “(Chris’ submission) tied into the area and it had a bit of a ring to it,” said CSRD team leader Ben Van Nostrand.

The CSRD began segregating yard and garden waste at the Salmon Arm landfill in 2012 in order to create a class A compost for the public.

Because the compost is just made up of yard and garden waste and doesn’t contain manure, the compost is easier to produce but the process can take up to a year.

A similar program is being planned for Golden and Revelstoke. The CSRD is planning to begin composting in Revelstoke later this month and in Golden this fall.

Ben Van Nostrand of the CSRD presents contest winner Chris Drysdale with an iPad and a sampling of the CSRD’s new compost product, now known as “Columbia Shuswap Kickin’ Compost”.

Community Conversations becomes model for others towns to follow Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The last Community Conversations took place on Wednesday June 11, before a break for the summer, and more than 20 community members took part in the discussion that centred around this fall’s municipal elections.

Participants were asked to design questions for potential candidates and assess the obstacles that might be hurting voter turnout numbers in recent years.

The monthly event got its start when Mayor Christina Benty was asked to create a research project proposal for school.

“The reason I wrote the proposal in the first place was because of some of the polarizing conversation in our community from the last election and how divisive it was and how frustrated I was with the public discourse,” she said.

That proposal turned into a reality and while the number of attendees dwindled somewhat over the past few sessions, Mayor Benty remains encouraged with how it came together.

“It’s been a great opportunity for people to sit down and have face to face conversations about community issues and most of the people have really enjoyed the opportunity to hear what other people’s points of view are,” she said.

This year’s sessions focused on various topics of interest from month to month. Next year, Mayor Benty would like to see the event add in more specific topics that are coming up in council meetings and are generating public interest. “(I like the idea of) having an issue that council is dealing with and having a Community Conversations event about that issue,” Mayor Benty said. “I think that we could generate some really good ideas from that.”

Encouragingly, Community Conversations has drawn the interest of several other municipalities across B.C., making Golden an example to follow.

“I think as a community we should be proud and dealing with some difficult issues in ways that have some meaning to them,” Mayor Benty said. “(It’s important) to note that Golden is leading the way in terms of community conversations and other communities around the province are starting to model the Community Conversations events.”

How Wide? How Long? How High?

How Wide? How Long? How High? These questions, when asked in relation to vehicles and their loads, probably bring large commercial vehicles to mind for most drivers. The Commercial Transport Regulations do set out the maximum dimensions for commercial vehicles and their loads. The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations take a legal short cut and apply them and some other provisions to light vehicles too.

In general, your vehicle and it’s load cannot be more than 2.6 m (8’ 6”) wide, 12.5 m (41’) long and 4.15 m (13’ 7”) high. In addition, it’s load cannot project more than 1 m (3’ 3”) ahead of the front bumper, 1.85 m (6’ 8”) behind the back of the vehicle or 4.5 m (14’ 9”) behind the center of the last axle. If you are driving something other than a pickup or delivery van, the load cannot be wider than the sides of the vehicle.

Things can get quite complicated from here if you add a trailer, are driving a pickup truck or delivery van or are carrying special commodities. Perhaps the simplest way to get advice before you set out on your trip is to know your exact dimensions and contact the nearest weigh scale. The inspectors there will provide expert advice and some scales are always open for your call.

Commercial vehicles may obtain exemptions from basic size rules through the use of a special exemption permit as long as the conditions of the permit are followed.

The regulations do provide for the use of permits for light vehicles as well, but the last time I checked the policy was that these permits would not be issued.

Vintage Moments A New Business In Town.

I have been in Golden for 9 years now with my Australian husband and three children. We moved here after 10 years in Melbourne to escape the rat race that was our lives and find a more casual outdoor lifestyle. I am originally from Saint John, NB and grew up on a hobby farm with horses, sheep, ducks and a cow named Butch. As a girl of 8 years I moved to Scotland where I first started decorating with my mother who worked for a decorator out of Edinburgh. I used to accompany my mother to large stone mansions and small castles to measure up for huge multi - layer curtains to help with the drafts. I believe I spent more time being awed by my surroundings than helping my mother. Being emerged in these homes and their ambiance in a country steeped in myths and legends during my formative years truly defined me and started a deep appreciation for antiques, which at this time in my young mind was just really cool old stuff, and the Vintage style I now love and embrace.

I have always loved and enjoyed making things by hand and creating unique, singular items of character. Mixing my own creations with antiques to enhance and add ambiance to a particular space, occasion or moment of personal importance is something that gives me great satisfaction and pleasure. I come by my passion for creation honestly when my father is a graduate from the Art Institute of Chicago, a painter, sculptor and owner of a very successful Graphic Design Company for 40 years. My Mother, as stated above was a decorator, seamstress and shop owner who still enjoys all forms of needle work. I too am a seamstress and enjoy a whole range of arts and crafts, most recently in my list of hobbies is learning how to weld, so exciting.

Having had a grandmother who most assuredly stood on ceremony, dining with linen cloths on the table, silver cutlery and engraved napkin rings didn’t do me any harm either, any moment can be a “Vintage Moment” with just the smallest touches and additions…even your family dinner or child’s birthday party. By starting my new special occasion / party décor business I hope to work with Golden locals to add a little ambiance or quirk to their everyday. I am always available for a chat so please feel free to give me a call and see what Vintage Moments can add to your moment, party or event.

Fee reduction proposal dies on table Continued from page 1 “Let’s not crank (up the fees), let’s crank it down and reduce the fee structure.”

Coun. Oszust proposed the fees for sidewalk cafes be brought down to $1.25 per stall per day, a reduction of approximately 65 per cent, and that this sum be the same for farmers’ market vendors as well.

According to Oszust, the Town would lose about $7,000 per year with the reduced fees, but he justified the proposal by saying the sidewalk cafes and the farmers’ market creates a good vibe and atmosphere downtown.

Coun. Mike Pecora raised his concern that reducing fees would create parking issues downtown, while wondering if the farmers’ market would be in favour of moving its Wednesday market to Spirit Square.

“If we’re going to open up the fees where everybody can take up a parking spot there’s not

In the past, the GFM has rejected the idea of moving the market to Spirit Square and one attendee made it very clear what the farmers’ market wants from the Town.

“What the farmers’ market really wants is

to be left alone,” he said.

“Just let us go about our business, we will contribute to the community, we will work with other people and do the best that we can to promote this community and promote business.”

The adoption of the proposed fee increase was moved and seconded, but only Coun. Hern

voted in support of it.

Later, Coun. Oszust put forward his proposal for fees to be set at $1.25 for both sidewalk cafes and the farmers’ market, but it died when he failed to find a seconder for the motion.

Instead, council agreed to further the discussion between all parties in the fall in order to reach a decision for next summer.

Vehicle fire downtown Banff highway now twinned Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net

The federal government announced last week the completion of twinning of the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) through Banff National Park.

A significant infrastructure project, twinning of the final 35-km two lane section of highway from Castle Junction to the British Columbia border is the result of a $317 million investment made over the last decade by the Government of Canada. The project improves motorist safety, reduces highway wildlife mortality and reconnects habitat, and improves the flow of goods and services on Canada’s national highway.

This investment not only helped protect and improve Canada’s iconic Banff National Park, it also provided important support to local communities through job creation and by encouraging tourism.

The government has been moving their way west through the national parks, making improvements to the highways. In March of this year, Kootenay/Columbia MP David Wilks

announced that Parks Canada was being promised $391 million over the next six years towards improving highways, bridges, dams and other infrastructure.

As parks moves west through B.C., Wilks hopes that some of those funds will go towards road improvements in Glacier National Park.

Twinning the Trans-Canada Highway all the way through Glacier is a massive project that was estimated by Parks Canada to cost 1-2 billion dollars, but Wilks believes it is important to get started as soon as possible.

“You have to start somewhere,” he told the Golden Star in March.

“Whether it’s Yoho, Glacier or Mt. Revelstoke we need to get to the point where we can twin that highway. It’s the gateway to Vancouver…we need to have it more free-flowing.”

It is not yet known when decisions will be made regarding the allocated funds or exactly how much of the $391 million will be given to Parks Canada each year.

The entire 82-km section of TCH in Banff National Park is now twinned.

Habart discusses EOF at Council

DEADLINE: Noon, Thursday, June 26

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

CSRD Area A Director Garry Habart was on hand at Town Council’s June 10 meeting to discuss both the Nordic Club and the Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG).

The discussion regarding ELCSAG was timely given the group’s late June deadline to apply for a $500,000 Child Care Capital Fund grant through the BC Early Years Office. The group recently approached Habart in order to seek a financial commitment through the Economic Opportunity Fund (EOF), a joint fund between the Town and the CSRD that is used on projects that are mutually beneficial for both.

Because the Early Learning and Care Centre would be located within Golden, Habart preferred to allow the Town to initiate funding for this project.

Coun. Chris Hambruch hoped to see the decision made immediately.

“I really want to see that project go ahead. I’d hate to see it dragged through some political process…I think it is paramount that we fund that project. If Director Habart is in agreement with it, then we can be in agreement with it and put that one to bed tonight,” he said.

Council declared its support for the project, but a decision was not made regarding EOF funding and was instead deferred to a special meeting on June 17 which will include CSRD CAO Charles Hamilton and will also feature a discussion regarding Kicking Horse Culture’s funding.

The Nordic Club is looking to make upgrades to its Dawn Mountain facility with the purchase of another snowcat for trail grooming, the construction of a maintenance/events building to house the snowcats and grooming gear and an expansion of the parking lot.

The club has raised $230,000 to date and is seeking $90,000 through the EOF over the next two years.

Habart visited the site last winter and was very impressed with the facility and supports funding the club’s upgrades with EOF. Council will also be discussing this project and the potential use of EOF money to support it at the June 17 meeting.

Valdy’s Coming?

opinion

Wednesday, June 18, 2014 The Golden Star

Grateful for Teacher Support

Working in a downtown office sometimes offers myself and my coworkers a very unique people watching experience, especially on the weekends when passersby don’t realize that there are people working in here.

The best is when a group of tourists walk by, stop at the Golden Star’s - I SURMISE window (which is always

By Jessica Schwitek covered with posters detailing what’s going on around town), and continue on with their conversation unaware that I can hear every word they’re saying.

This past weekend a visiting family was drawn to our window when the father saw the Kicking Horse Culture poster out of the corner of his eye.

“Valdy’s coming! I can’t believe Valdy is going to be here!”

I laughed as he tried to explain to his twentysomething year-old children who this person was, and why it was so cool that he was going to be playing a free outdoor concert in Golden.

It reminded me of a similar conversation we had in the office, where the one employee who is slightly older then the rest of us got mad because we didn’t recognize the Valdy songs she kept playing for us.

“This one? You must know this one,” we kept hearing from her office. We didn’t.

The group stayed in front of the window for quite some time, remarking on how neat it was that a small community was hosting these performances, and scouring the window to see if there was anything going on that evening.

They even talked about how they could extend their trip, or return later in the week to see the performance.

The children were understandably not as excited as their father, but quite surprised to see other names they recognized on the Summer Kicks lineup.

The summer series is certainly a local favourite.

The Golden Star Staff make a point of attending every performance. But sometimes it’s easy to forget, or just not notice, how many tourists come out for the shows.

The first performance almost had this group of seven people scrambling to extend their stay in the community.

And even though they didn’t manage to make it to the performance, it still clearly left an impression with this gentleman and probably had a significant impact on his impression of Golden.

I always knew that Summer Kicks was one of my favourite things about this community, but I was quite surprised to see first hand how it impressed upon visitors as well.

The first performance featuring Valdy is tonight at 7 p.m. in Spirit Square.

Letter to Editor On Tuesday, June 10, a record high, 33,387 B.C. teachers exercised their democratic franchise and voted 86 per cent in favour of escalating our job action up to and including full withdrawal of services, if needed.

I want to express my deepest gratitude and respect for the resounding support and solidarity shown by Golden teachers by their vote in our local.

We have received numerous emails from parents and other concerned community members thanking us for standing up for public education and for better supports for kids.

We want to thank parents, students, our CUPE and other union colleagues, and everyone else who have stood with us, “shoulder-to-shoulder” to “hold the line” for increased funding for public education in our province.

We echo our BCTF president’s comment, that, “There is no reason why a province as rich as B.C. should be second last when it comes to funding education.”

Local teachers want Premier Clark to release the resources necessary that her negotiators need to effect a deal at the bargaining table.

We want a deal not a fight, before the end of June!

The Good in Humanity

Pipeline Referendum

To the editor,

Editor,

Last Monday, June 2, I was passing through Golden on my way from Kelowna to Banff.

I stopped for gas and a refreshment break at the Chevron station on the Trans-Canada highway.

It was there, I discovered when I tried to check into a hotel in Banff, that I had lost my Visa Card. After many phone calls I found out from CIBC Visa that my card had been turned into the CIBC bank in Golden and destroyed.

I feel that I have been blessed and touched by an angel who turned in my card. I have always had a feeling that people are inherently good and this confirms it. Thank you, whoever you are, for being so good.

Betty Ross Kelowna

In the last provincial and federal elections, more people voted against the ruling parties than for them. As well, the turnout to vote was appallingly dismal. Because of these lackadaisical mandates, neither the B.C. or federal governments truly represent the will of the people when it comes to making irreversible decisions on the state of our children’s health and future.

Deciding whether or not to allow tar sands pipelines across our forests and streams and bitumen tankers through our fishery and along our coast goes beyond the scope of the current B.C. and federal governments' mandates.

Not only can the pipelines and tankers have lasting detrimental effects on our economy, environment and therefore our own children’s quality or standard of life, but because burning up the tar sands greatly worsens climate change, they will directly reduce the survivability of the human race. Clearly a defining issue such as the existence of future generations requires a little more scrutiny than a passing mention in a personality based general election.

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

Continued from page 6 It is only fair that the people of B.C. have a direct voice in the pipeline/tanker decision. Premier Clark said in October 2012, "This project can only go ahead if it has the social license to do so. It can only get the social license from the citizens of B.C. And that’s what I’m representing as premier."

When 64 per cent of British Columbians are against pipelines and tankers and an even greater 79 per cent say they want to take part in that decision, it’s obvious that Christy Clark does not have our consent.

The Dogwood Initiative’s Let B.C. Vote campaign gives us all an opportunity to have a direct say on this decision by allowing us to pledge to support a referendum on tar sands pipelines and tankers.

By going to letbcvote.ca and pledging to sign an upcoming citizen’s initiative, we can all take a step to show our provincial government that each of us has the right to decide on our children’s and grandchildren’s future.

Ministry of Health trying to raise awareness on elder abuse Ministry of Health Submitted Health Minister Terry Lake and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health for Seniors, Linda Larson issued the following statement in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15: Elder abuse can take various forms - it is not always obvious. It can be a family member who continually borrows money but does not repay it, a caregiver overmedicating a senior in their care, or a contractor who over charges for home repairs or maintenance.

Too often the victim feels shame, embarrassment or fear to challenge or report the abuse or is in a situation of dependency and relies on the perpetrator for care, or transportation.

In some instances, the abuser and the victim may not even recognize the actions, or inactions, as abuse or neglect.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day shines a light on this frequently hidden issue and is a reminder that we must all work together to promote a culture of respect and appreciation for seniors.

To help raise awareness, on June 2, 2014, government launched a month-long elder abuse awareness social media campaign with the goal of educating all British Columbians on how to recognize and how to respond and take action against elder abuse and ageism.

For more information about this campaign and how you can take part please visit: www.seniorsbc.ca/elderabuse.

We have been working hard to eliminate elder abuse. The provincial elder abuse prevention strategy, released in March 2013, is supported by nearly $1 million in funding, and provides a foundation for better collaboration and integration to improve prevention, recognition and response services around the province.

We have created elder abuse prevention information kits available online and in print, extended the hours of operation for the Seniors Abuse and Information Line, established a Multi-Sector Council to Reduce Elder Abuse, and have invested $1.4 million in the BC Association of Community Response Networks, which now operate 111 networks throughout the province to help increase awareness and access to services.

Two new additions to the herd at Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch will be among the star attractions for this Sunday’s Buffapoolooza, an event which will include a full day of music. The pair of calves were born earlier this spring.

winners of the GSS Talent Show. David L’Hirondelle will follow at 1 p.m., with his first of two sets.

L’Hirondelle moved to Golden late last year from Vancouver in order to unwind and continue working on his upcoming album. He’ll be heading back to the city shortly to record.

“This is a creative space,” L’Hirondelle said about the ranch. “There’s lots of inspiration around here.”

L’Hirondelle has covered Bryan Adams extensively in the past and will be playing at least one Adams tune on Sunday, along with a mix of other cover songs and original pieces.

“My stuff would probably be defined as pop, rock with a little bit of funk and a little bit of blues. It’s really kind of a mashed potato mixed up with gravy,” L’Hirondelle laughed.

Also performing on Sunday will be Carl Trinkwon and the Masters of Nün, The PickUps, and, of course, Leo Downey, who will end the day with a set starting at 6 p.m.

Attendees are asked to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets and non-perishable food items will be collected in support of the Golden Food Bank.

The Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch has a pair of new residents and Goldenites will have a perfect opportunity to meet them this Sunday, June 22.

The ranch is getting ready to host Buffapoolooza, an all day music event that will also feature free buffalo tours and a barbecue.

“I really love having these community events and having families come here, and that’s why I wanted to host this,” said Leo Downey, the ranch’s owner.

The ranch hasn’t hosted many events in recent years after the business was in flux over some government restrictions on meat processing. Thankfully for Downey, those restrictions have since been lifted, which has allowed him to begin growing the herd once again. That growth took another step forward with the birth of a pair of calves this spring.

Buffapoolooza will kick off at 11 a.m. with the first of two buffalo tours (the other is scheduled for 2 p.m.). The music will get underway at noon with Ariana & Levon, the

Golden’s own Masters of Nün lead second Summer Kicks show Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The second Summer Kicks performance of the season is coming earlier in the week than usual, when Carl Trinkwon and the Masters of Nün perform at Spirit Square with The GSS Friday Jam on Tuesday June 24.

Golden’s Masters of Nün celebrated the release of their first album on April 26 in true Golden fashion, with a CD release party at the Golden Taps.

And now the community is excited to see the perform on a larger stage.

“Carl’s a much loved Golden institution! He’s been entertaining folks in the valley for decades now and with his brand new album Heart Shock-Ra just released we wanted to give Golden audiences a chance to catch a longer set with Carl at Summer Kicks,” said Bill Usher, executive director of Kicking Horse Culture.

“He’s got a whole bunch of new songs and his excellent big band the Masters of Nün backing him up. Also performing on the night is a set by the Friday Jam performers from Golden Secondary School plus Suzie Raudaschl as our tweener act.”

The performance starts at 7 p.m. in Spirit Square. And don’t forget to check out the first show of the season tonight (June 18), featuring folk singer Valdy.

The Masters of Nün are playing at Summer Kicks on Tuesday June 24.

There’s no telling what will inspire local artist Jeanine Thiel, but whenever she finds it she makes it her own.

“I really like contrast, that usually inspires me, but I never really know when something will catch my eye,” said Jeanine.

Art may be in her blood, but being the daughter of an artist doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re encouraged to lead the life of a starving artist. “(Art) was always something I wanted to do, but that wasn’t really allowed back when I was a kid. I was more encouraged to go to university and get a ‘real’ job, that sort of thing.”

Gaining a lot of inspiration from mom, Jeanine always had art in the back of her mind, but it wasn’t until she was 19 that it really hit her that this could be a career. She had designed a tattoo for a friend, and got quite a surprise when they went into a tattoo parlour to inquire about cost.

“When they saw my drawing they said ‘wow, do you want a job?’ I said ‘OK.’ The idea of being a tattoo artist is probably the first thing I wanted to do.”

It all grew from there, but Jeanine truly found her niche when she started doing portraits. She moved to Golden from Edmonton and found that her work flourished in the mountain community.

“I really like Golden, I think I’ll be here for a while,” said Jeanine. “I’ve been really surprised how supportive Golden has been with me.”

Her real breakthrough came when Jeanine starting using social media to showcase her work. She sold a piece through a local Facebook site, and was encouraged to start her own page. Since then she has been able to sell her work, and has also gotten a lot of requests for commissioned pieces through Facebook.

During busy times, especially around Christmas, Jeanine garners enough work to make a living purely as an artist. But the process is certainly different, creating art for others as opposed to herself.

“Doing portraits for other people is really different. I usually ask for really good detailed pictures, but it’s definitely a different process from pieces I make for myself.”

The online world is also where the young artist goes to gather inspiration and valuable feedback.

Websites like Instagram have connected artists from all over the world, allowing them to share their work with likeminded people.

“That’s probably my favourite place to post my stuff, I get 10 times more feedback than I do on Facebook, it’s really nice. I always talk with artists on there, and they give me tips as well. That’s really awesome, I feel like I’ve learned a lot just by looking through their work,” said Jeanine.

As a young artist in her 20s, Jeanine still has a long career ahead of her, and she has no interest in slowing down.

“It’s a never ending busyness. There’s always a million things on my mind that I want to do next. Then on top of that, there’s always requests from other people to draw things for them. It never seems to stop, but that’s a good thing. That’s what I want.”

8:17 AM To view more of Jeanine’s work, or to commission a piece, she can be contacted through her Facebook page at Jeanine “jdash” 9.

Wildlife season now gearing up

Travel back to the time of veracious warriors and Norse gods to play a few rounds of kubb and make your own Viking drinking horn as you spend a day as a Viking.

Then spend the day exploring the age of pyramids, hieroglyphs, mummies, and sarcophagi by decoding hieroglyphs in a scavenger hunt that will lead you to a way to beat the desert heat.

Next, enter the era of knights, dragons and maidens fair and compete in a knight’s tournament, lay siege to a castle and design your own shield.

Day four invites you to test out your swashbuckling skills by hunting for buried treasure, discovering your pirate name, and bellowing orders to your ship mates as you test your skills as captain. On the final day of History Camp, gallop back to the Wild West where cowboys and outlaws rule. There you will form a group of the most fearsome outlaws around.

You may even get away with robbing a train or two before the sheriff gets you!

The Golden Museum is excited to announce that History Camp will be running again this year with a new theme: Time travellers. History Camp is $120.00 per child.

The age range for History Camp is from ages 6 to 12. Camp weeks are: July 7 to 11, July 14 to 18, July 21 to 25, July 28 to Aug 1, Aug 11 to 15, and Aug 18 to 22.

This camp is a full week and runs from Monday to Friday with drop off between 9:45 and 10:00 a.m. and pick up promptly at 4:00 p.m.. Early drop off is not an option so please don’t bring your child before 9:45.

Campers will be required to bring 2 snacks and 1 bagged lunch daily.

For more information or to reserve a spot call 250-344-5169 or drop by the museum to register at 1302-11th Ave South, Golden, BC.

WildsafeBC Submitted WildSafeBC has a new face in the Golden area. Sarah Jane Osadetz has joined the WildSafeBC program as the local Community Coordinator.

Following a week long training session in Kamloops, Osadetz is now about to launch a season of door-to-door campaigning, school programs, public displays and generally working with the public to help “keep wildlife wild and our communities safe.”

WildSafeBC has found that if wildlife is kept from becoming food-conditioned or habituated to the presence of humans, then they retain their natural wariness of humans and the potential for conflict can be greatly reduced.

WildSafeBC provides conflict reduction advice for all types of wildlife – everything from bears, coyotes, cougars, deer, raccoons and even rattlesnakes for those communities that have them.

Osadetz encourages residents to go WildSafeBC’s interactive mapping program to see where, when and why wildlife has been seen in their neighbourhood. The website is found at warp.wildsafebc.com.

Residents concerned about wildlife in their community or persons wishing to book Osadetz for a presentation at an event can contact Osadetz by either email at golden@wild-

The valley community came together to start a creamery in 1915

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

Earlier this year I attended a meeting about co-ops and how well they can work in a community. A really great example of how a co-op can work successfully was the Columbia Valley Creamery Association. Here is a bit about the Creamery.

The people of the valley were looking at ways to use some of the resources they already had to create financial opportunities. They realized that unless they all worked together, much as we all did when it appeared that the mill was going to close in 1996, they wouldn’t be successful.

Those interested held a lively meeting early in 1915. The following was reported by “The Golden Star.”

“What we want here is a creamery,” said Mr. Mitchell. “We have railroad facilities throughout the valley, and all that is needed is from

300-400 cows producing milk and we will have the creamery.

We have about 50 cows now and I expect to add to my heard next spring, and others contemplate the same thing.”

It is the intention of the members to investigate the possibility of borrowing money to increase and improve dairy herds in the valley.

In the discussion of the best grade of cow used in the valley, there was a spirited and instructive debate between Mr. King and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. King, having a Holstein bull, has strong leaning to that breed. Mr. Mitchell, basing his arguments upon information supplied by the provincial diary experts, favors the Ayrshire.

As a result of a meeting of the Golden Farmers’ Institute, held Nov. 12, 1915, the farmers decided to take the steps necessary to secure a creamery. One of the farmers, Lawrence Mitchell explained that the provincial government had in 1913, been willing to provide breeding stock to farmer’s institutes and deliver animals, freight paid, to

The Golden Museum has a copy of a butter wrapper used to wrap butter from the creamery association.

Photo Courtesy of the Golden Museum any point in the province. The government would assume 20 percent of the cost of the animals and the rest would be payable in a series of equal payments over a series of years.

It was several years before the farmers had the opportunity to prove to the government they were serious, but finally in 1922 they got the news they were waiting for when

the Hon. E.C. Barrow stated the government was prepared to erect a creamery under the following conditions.

The farmers would have to form a creamery association and provide a suitable building. The estimated cost of this would be about $3,000. The structure would have to be 24 feet by 45 feet.

They recommended renting if possible.

The government

would supply full equipment for manufacturing butter and would provide a buttermaker for one season without charge to the farmers.

At the end of one season it would be up to the farmers to either take it over or to tell the government they did not want it. The full equipment necessary would cost $3,250.

This amount could be paid over a number of

years at Land Settlement Board rate of interest.

The creamery association would do all the buying and selling. The government would bring stock in through the Cattle Clubs, paying 20 per cent of the value when delivered and the balance spread over two years. And so began the Columbia Valley Creamery Association.

The cattle arrived

and were distributed among the farmers and the prices were set.

Butter wholesale 42 cents a lb. Butter retail 50 cents lb. Ice cream, $7.50 for 5 gallons at the creamery.

A buttermaker was hired. Our butter was sold all over the province, wrapped in our own butter wrappers that indicated the class or quality of the butter.

All the first class butter was shipped out. We kept the second class butter here for local use.

The war took a large toll on the production of butter and with a huge advertising campaign set to sell the consumer the new “margarine” it seemed the creamery was doomed. However, the farmers held out and continued to work, keeping the creamery in cream and the buttermaker in work.

When eventually the farmers decided the business was no longer viable they paid out the shareholders the sum of $84.70 per share.

Those same shares had been purchased at $25 per share. A success all around when you consider the creamery helped earn a living for the farmers in our area for over 35 years.

Golden Rotary’s annual auction tallies just short of $18,000 Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net

StarCROSSWORD

The Rotary Club of Golden held their annual Silent and Live Auction at the Golden Civic Centre on Saturday June 14.

Hundreds of donated items went up for bid, with a value totally more than $30,000.

Some of the bigger items included a sightseeing tour with Alpine Helicopters, valued at $1,000, a set of handcrafted furniture from Olson Construction valued at $1090, and a stay at Mistaya Lodge valued at $3,000.

A musical duo from Golden Secondary School, Levon and Ariana, entertained the crowd after stepping in last minute.

Local auctioneer Barney Bardarson took care of the live auction, which concluded the event.

At the end of the day, the auction brought in a total of $17,723.50 for the Rotary Club of Golden.

The funds will go towards the many projects the club is involved in, including high school bursaries, youth programs, support for local families in distress, the Confluence Park project, polio eradication worldwide, literacy programs, cleft lip repairs, clean water projects, and many more.
