Early Learning Hub takes big leap forward Young athletes holding own basketball camp ..................................19

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net A project that has been in the works in one way or another for the past 10 years has taken a huge leap forward this past week, and project champions are hoping it will take an even bigger leap this summer.

The early learning and child care hub, a new centre that is planned to be built as an extension onto Alexander Park Elementary School, has just received two major grants, which added to the funds they already had, make up $200,000.

Now, with $200,000 in the bank, they are using those funds to try to leverage another

$500,000 from the province to complete the first phase of the project.

The first grant came from the Economic Opportunities Fund, whose funds are to be used for jointly agreed upon projects by the Town of Golden and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Car show to take place Canada Day Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Car and bike enthusiasts will be out in full force in downtown Golden on Canada Day for Team Redline’s 7th annual car show along 9th Ave. N. Once again, the car show will have a wide range of vehicles on display.

“It’s a big mix,” said Lisa Tang of Team Redline. “It’s trucks, bikes, classics, hot rods, everything. Basically anything with wheels can come out.”

Last year, over 50 vehicles entered the show and Tang hopes to equal or better that number this year. In the past, entrants have come from all over, but it is local Keith Dondaneau

that has taken home the top prize three of the seven years, including a win last year for his yellow T-bucket.

In addition to the big prize, awards are also handed out in a variety of other categories.

Organizers are still looking for volunteers to help out with the show, including someone to handle barbecuing duties.

While most entrants tend to sign up on the day of the show, organizers would prefer vehicle owners to pre-register, and there is some incentive to register early, as the first 50 registrants will receive a free t-shirt. Participants will also be entered in a raffle.

Contact Tang at 250-344-4883 or goldenteamredline@gmail.com for volunteer and registration information.

How many times have you gone into the backcountry to return to create a painting that could hang in an art gallery? For most of us, the memories of nature are what we treasure after our return.

The Art Gallery of Golden’s newest exhibit features work that reflects just that.

In August 2012, as part of a retreat in the Flathead Valley, 10 scientists focused on documenting a stunning variety of rare, at-risk and extensive invertebrates from clams to butterflies to spiders and eight artists explored the natural beauty of the Flathead Valley.

“We hiked up a ridge in front of Commerce Peak that gave us this amazing view of the whole valley,” said Laura Nelson, one of the artists on the retreat.

“That valley is so

All of the art that came out of that retreat is now part of a travelling exhibit called the Flathead Wild Art Exhibit.

The exhibit will be at the Art Gallery of Golden from now until Sept. 20.

Leaving Your Vehicle Unsecured

Recent social media posts are rehashing a story from last summer in Nanaimo where a woman received a traffic ticket for leaving her parked vehicle unattended with the doors unlocked and the windows rolled down. While the law does require that you must lock your vehicle or make it secure in some manner to prevent its unauthorized use, locking the doors and rolling up the windows is not the only way to accomplish this. In most cases you can still leave the windows down to keep animals in the vehicle cool in warmer weather.

Most vehicles today are built with anti-theft devices built in. The most obvious one that comes to my mind is that when I remove my ignition key the steering and gear selector on my vehicle are automatically locked. Should I choose to leave my doors unlocked and the windows down a potential thief cannot steer the vehicle or get the transmission out of park in order to roll it away. While the contents of my vehicle may be open to theft, it is still secured against use by others that I have not given the key to.

If your vehicle is old enough that it does not have an anti-theft device or the antitheft device that it does have is broken, then you must do something and rolling up the windows and locking the doors is probably the simplest solution. Placing a locking device on the steering wheel alone may not be enough as the vehicle may still be able to be moved, just not steered properly.

I checked with ICBC about theft insurance and was advised that leaving a vehicle unsecured would not affect my ICBC theft insurance coverage if the vehicle was stolen. The adjuster did point out that not securing the vehicle would serve as an invitation to thieves who appreciate an easy target. We all pay premiums based on losses, so preventing theft does affect our insurance costs.

EOF decisions draw lengthy debate Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net During a rare meeting between the two local governments, the Town of Golden and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) had the chance to openly discuss the policy regarding the Economic Opportunities Fund (EOF).

The funds come from the payments in lieu of taxes given by BC Hydro, and are to be spent in ways agreed upon by both the CSRD and the Town of Golden.

"We've been accumulating what I think is some pretty embarrassing reserves," said Charles Hamilton, chief administrative officer with the CSRD. The current balance, minus what had already been committed prior to the meeting, was $169,500. And with the $273,000 that will be added later this year, the balance will be at $442,500.

The fund has been in the news quite a bit recently, as the Golden Civic Centre kitchen was finished with EOF funds, Kicking Horse Culture’s 2014 budget came from the EOF, and local community groups have requested grants from the fund (the Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group and the Golden Nordic Club, both of which were successful with their requests). But because the fund historically has been political funds, not distributed through grant-in-aid style process, the Town proposed that a more regulated process for distributing the funds be established.

After a very lengthy discussion, the two governments agreed to meet twice a year, the first of which being early this fall, to discuss possible

uses for the funds. And before that meeting takes place, the Town of Golden council will hold their own meeting to discuss what they want the purpose of the EOF to be: tax relief, so to cover projects or initiatives that would normally be covered by tax dollars (such as Kicking Horse Culture), or for one-time payments to cover projects that come up throughout the year, such as finishing the Civic Centre kitchen.

The entire discussion was prolonged, as the two parties took the opportunity to discuss the future of Kicking Horse Culture. The entity was paid for by tax dollars ($60,000 from the Town of Golden, and $60,000 from the CSRD) until Golden Area Initiatives (who was the flow through for the funds) stopped operating.

The Town has officially stated in a letter to the CSRD that they would like to return to the taxation model, however Area A Director with the CSRD Garry Habart said at the meeting that he would not like to see tax dollars spent in this way.

Habart suggested using left over funds from GAI (although those funds are under the control of the GAI board which is still intact) or through the EOF. Mayor Christina Benty said she still preferred to return to the taxation model, but would be open to the possibility of using EOF funds for KHC if a three-year deal could be set up to ensure it would continue to receive funding.

No decisions were made regarding KHC, but several councillors said during the meeting that they are hoping to receive a counteroffer from the CSRD, seeing as they were the ones who rejected the proposal to use tax dollars earlier this year.

Liquor laws have changed Staff Writer Black Press The B.C. government has begun allowing "happy hour" discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices.

Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

The release of the regulations Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price.

The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The

B.C. government's liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes.

The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. Licensees are also allowed to transfer small amounts of stock from one to the other if they run out of a particular product.

In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government's Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for "ladies night" specials or "team night" for players in uniform.

Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

These projects have to be “economic drivers” which could encompass a large variety of initiatives. The Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group requested $80,000, which was approved by both the Town and the CSRD last week.

They were also granted $800,000 from the Columbia Valley Credit Union.

“This is very much in need in our community,” said Joanne McCullough, ELCSAG co-ordinator. “We know this is an economic driver. If you can’t find childcare, you can’t work. This will reduce leakage from our community.”

The 280 square metre add-on to APES will include a licensed group child care room with 25 spaces, and a licensed pre-school program with 80 spaces.

A second phase, which is estimated to cost $300,000, will include a licensed infant-toddler child care room with 12 spaces.

The request went through quite quickly because the deadline to apply for the provincial grant through the BC Early Years Office, Child Care Capital Fund is on June 30. And before applying, ELCSAG had to have letters of intent from funders.

Project champions had been working very hard on the early learning hub for years now, and had these grants not come through, McCullough says they may have had to look at the possibility of “pulling the plug.”

Golden hill pathway extended into town

Members from the Ministry of Transportation and the Town of Golden got together to commemorate the opening of the long-anticipated extension of the Golden hill pathway.

The Golden hill pathway comes to an abrupt end no more.

As of last week, the paving has been com-

pleted on the continuation of the Golden hill pathway, parallel to Highway 1, and the path is open to pedestrians.

The project is an extension of a request

that went through UBCM many years ago, when the Town of Golden told the province that a pathway that connected the businesses and residences at the top of

the Golden hill, with the town below, was needed.

The project was approved, and the path built by the Ministry of Transportation was completed in 2012.

Nearly two years later, another request was granted, and the Town partnered up with the ministry to complete the path, so that it did not just end, leaving pedestrians walking down the highway overpass.

The Ministry of Transportation took care of most of the work and cost, with the Town’s portion consisting of all paving costs, the concrete abutments, and the installation of fencing along major portions of the trail.

Golden’s cost is estimated at $70,000, all of which will come from the Resort Municipality Initiative funds, at no cost to the local taxpayer. The money is coming out of the budget for the larger Highway Corridor Enhancement project, scheduled to get underway this summer.

“It’s so great to see this project finally done,” said Mayor Christina Benty.

“We’ve already been getting tons of positive comments about it.”

Right now the hill that runs along side the pathway is not landscaped, but the Ministry of Transpor-

tation is still looking into some options to spruce the area up a bit.

Although not currently in the works, the next step for the pathway would be to extend it along the highway towards the corridor, where the highway businesses are, to further enhance pedestrian access to town for visitors.

Happy Graduation

opinion

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 The Golden Star

Northern Gateway Editor,

With classes temporarily out, teachers on the picket lines, and negotiations constantly in the news, it’s a little easy to forget what a special time of year this is for students…and what a special time of their lives it is for the graduating class of 2014.

You’re about to take a huge step in your lives, - I SURMISE and even though the By Jessica Schwitek send off is not quite as smooth as we were all hoping for, the whole community is still happy for you.

You have spent the first 17/18 years of your life learning. Now it is time to apply it, whether it be using your knowledge to work, or using the skills you’ve acquired to obtain more knowledge at university.

As Carol Burnett, who most of you are too young to know, said: “We don’t stop going to school when we graduate.”

Never stop learning.

I’m not going to pepper the new grad class with advice, or words of wisdom. There’s going to be enough of that going around.

So instead of quoting some of the great graduation speeches of our time, and there are some truly great ones floating around on the internet, I’m going to take the lighter approach and give you an excerpt of what is widely agreed to be the worst high school graduation speech ever.

In 2010, a young graduate began his commencement speech like this: “My name is Alex Simpson and this is a graduation speech. I’m giving a graduation speech because we’re graduating. This is nice, right? I love giving graduation speeches.

“I wish I’d done this more in high school. Right now, you’re probably wondering why I was chosen to give the graduation speech. It’s not because I am the valedictorian. It’s not because I am abnormally good-looking, although, as you can see, I certainly am.

“It’s because my father’s company gave a large donation to the school. This speech is sponsored by your local Simpson’s Toyota dealer. Come on down and get your hands on some recently recalled vehicles with 0% APR financing. Ask for Alexander Simpson Senior.”

Trust me, it only gets worse from there. He decided to end his riveting speech with: “I was going to say more, but I’ve decided I want to end early. My parents are throwing me a graduation party at the Simpson Toyota dealer. It’s just up the road. There will be hotdogs, hamburgers and virgin daiquiris, but no Subway sandwiches.”

Although this may not contain the inspirational words that we come to expect from graduation speeches, I’m sure this teenager had just about every person in the crowd laughing. To me, that’s the best send off you can give to a graduating class.

Make them laugh, and remember nothing in life is too serious.

If the Northern Gateway approval is about supporting the Canadian economy, the public in this country are being hoodwinked.

The overall job story is that energy efficiency and renewable energy will provide more and higher paying jobs, with more diverse opportunities.

This is because $1 million dollars worth of oil and natural gas output directly creates 0.8 jobs, and $1 million invested in coal produces 1.9 jobs.

Compare that to building retrofits for energy efficiency (seven jobs per million), mass transit services (11 jobs), building the smart grid (4.3), wind (4.6), solar (5.4), and biomass power generation (7.4).

Too many harsh words To the editor, Teachers. I love them. Especially my daughter, so you know the direction from whence I write.

And I am sure all of us can relive fond memories of “the best years of our lives.”

So how can we not feel empathy for these dedicated champions of wisdom that we trust our children with?

It is through this admiration, however, that I have become worried that the fomenting of hostility between the government and

The added benefit is that almost all of these jobs will take place in local communities instead of forcing workers to leave their families and homes to live in remote work camps with all the attendant social problems they cause.

Finally, jobs created in energy efficiency, mass transit, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and smart grid development will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

We have a planet to save. Scientists like Victoria’s own Dr. Andrew Weaver are telling us we need to move quickly toward an economy less reliant on fossil fuels.

Pipelines like the Enbridge Northern Gateway are not on the zero carbon economy map.

Michael Jessen Nelson

teachers will mar our responsibilities as proud citizens of B.C. I know that we seldom think of public servants as being as noble a profession as teachers, but perhaps it is an unfair conjecture. And now we have branded them as antagonists. Whether they are labeled as Liberal or NDP or BCTF, or have personal names such as Christy or Peter or Jim, every one of us should respect them for their diligence and persistence.

Difficult tasks were foisted on them by a due process through which we have chosen to govern ourselves. They have heavy burdens to carry and are being

judged daily by ill-informed armchair critics and baited with innuendo-riddled questions from the media.

I honestly believe that these adversaries do not have personal agendas. They are doing their jobs.

They are trying to complete a business transaction. Too many harsh words are being spoken.

Please be understanding and considerate.

Kindness is not just for dogs and little children.

Living Well: Enjoying nature critical to health and well-being Kerri Wall Interior Health June is the time to celebrate Parks and Recreation Month across Canada. Most of us have deeply cherished memories of play and adventure in the outdoors, both as a child and as an adult. Many of our best times happen when we are playing or simply relaxing in nature.

Connections with the natural world are critical to our health and well-being. Regular physical activity has a powerful influence on our health, both mentally and physically. Being active is recommended as a way to both prevent and treat many kinds of chronic diseases from depression to diabetes to cancer.

Health starts in our homes and our neighbourhoods. Our experiences when we are young and the lifestyle choices and habits we make as adults help keep us healthy. Access to greenspaces and recreational facilities in our neighbourhoods can make all the difference. A playground at the end of the block can allow a young family to get outside together in the evening and a flat trail with benches can help keep a senior active many months of the year.

A recent report from the Canadian Parks Council (Connecting Canadians with Nature:

An Investment in the Well-Being of our Citizens) reveals that one in four Canadians are currently obese and the rates are climbing. Additionally, more than one million Canadians are at risk for serious long-term health problems due to vitamin D deficiency. A nature prescription could make a big impact here. The report also states, “Evidence is also mounting that proximity to natural environments is the best predictor of people’s physical activity, more so than proximity to community centres or indoor gyms.”

Infrastructure for parks and recreation can be as simple as a well-placed dock or as comprehensive as a large beach area. We often have local governments and community groups to thank for amenities that make the outdoors inviting and accessible. In my town, I enjoy a network of well-maintained mountain bike trails that stretch for hundreds of kilometers. Anyone can use them, from hikers to bikers, and they are completely free!

The municipality donates money to our trail alliance every year and individuals can also donate if they wish.

Providing parks and greenspaces are not only ways to beautify communities and make life more pleasant; these spaces also play a central role in our health and well-being. For more information see Plan H – Parks & Greenspaces (http://planh.ca/take-action/ healthy-environments/natural-environments/page/parks-greenspace).

MLA Report: Negative reaction from residents toward TFL This has been a spring full of serious and important issues that have caused British Columbians to speak out very loudly against the actions of the BC Liberal government. One of the issues that caused the greatest number of emails to my office this spring is the government’s plan to further privatize our public lands Tree Farm Licence - Norm Macdonald - through (TFL) rollovers.

MLA Columbia River-Revelstoke When the BC Liberals first proposed the TFL rollover legislation prior to the 2013 election they were forced to back down because of overwhelmingly negative public reac-

tion. But they were determined to press ahead. After the election, they promised that ahead of re-tabling TFL rollover legislation, they would conduct a province-wide, authentic consultation.

Instead of the wide-ranging consultative process that was promised, the government simply offered an opportunity for British Columbians to submit their thoughts online, and those of us who want to keep our lands in public hands took the opportunity to send another strong message to government.

At the close of the consultation period, approximately 4,225 submissions were submitted. 4,185 reject the government’s plan for privatization. Approximately 25 are neutral, and only 15 clearly support the government’s agenda.

As the Critic for Forests, I also received most of these submissions and many hundreds of these emails came from

Kootenay residents. But there was also a very large contingent of these emails that came from people in other parts of the world.

Because BC relies on international markets for its wood products, and these markets value wood products that are harvested sustainably, any changes here that shake the confidence of the international market in our environmental standards puts our industry at risk.

The CEO of Canfor, a corporation that employs so many in our area, has come out strongly against the proposal for just this reason stating that ‘the risk of aligning the public against BC’s largest forest companies’ is just too high.

We cannot lose public control of our lands, of our forests. TFL rollover legislation threatens our ability to sell our products, it gives away our public lands through backroom deals, and it is environmentally irresponsible.

Local author to deliver poetry reading

Bacchus Books will host Scott Ryan’s free reading of his poetry collection on July 2.

Joel Tansey/Star Photo Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Golden native Scott Ryan destroyed the poetry he wrote in his teens, but kept his work from his 20s and has since turned it into a collection titled Swamp Stompin’.

Ryan says he doesn’t regret destroying his early work, saying that it was a necessary step in his progression into his 20s.

“They were really kind of adolescent and immature in a certain sense so I figured it would probably be best…to get rid of them,” Ryan said. “It was really liberating.”

Earlier this year, Ryan was leafing through his later poems and thought that he could have the makings of a book. That’s when he discovered Create Space, a website that is owned by Amazon and helps individual authors self-publish their writing.

Authors that have inspired Ryan’s stream of consciousness writing style include Jack Kerouac and Walt Whitman.

“The amazing thing with Kerouac’s On the Road is that it was written on a single roll of paper on his typewriter,” Scott said.

Swamp Stompin’ combines Ryan’s poetry with art and, furthering the inspiration he drew from Kerouac, many of the pages are copies of the originals that he wrote out on his typewriter.

The poems from his collection were written while Ryan was living in Harrogate and, not surprisingly given the book’s title, near a swamp.

“The marshes are really kind of a symbol for me, as basically the subconscious where all life and poetry flows from,” Ryan said. “It’s all built into the poems.”

Ryan hasn’t written poetry since the 1990s, and isn’t sure if publishing this collection will get him to write poetry again.

“I’ve been playing some music and I’ve written some lyrics but that’s just kind of in the infantile stages again…whether I will write poetry again, I don’t know,” he said.

On July 2, Ryan will be delivering a free reading of his work at Bacchus Books. His collection is available for purchase from Bacchus and electronically at amazon.ca.

Rick Scott, who combines music with laughter, is making a return to Golden on July 2 for a Summer Kicks concert in Spirit Square.

She started singing and composing blues melodies at the age of five, and he was entertaining crowds at community concerts in his native England before he was nine.

It seems that Holly Hyatt and Jon Burden, the two components of the Canadian blues duo Holly and Jon, were destined to find each other.

The two performers (Holly on bass/vocals, and Jon on guitar/vocals) each had their long winding roads to get to where they are today, and have

shared the stage with some Canadian and Blues icons.

By 2004 they were a hit at the Kaslo Jazz Fest where they shared the bill with Juno award winners Colin James and Jeff Healey. Shortly after they started recording, and have now released two full length albums.

The duo will be performing in Golden’s Spirit Square on Monday June 30 for the Summer Kicks series.

Wildsight Golden Submitted While some weeds are merely plants out of place, invasive weeds are more than just nuisances; they can be dangerous to have around! Among other things, invasive weeds can threaten biodiversity, can be toxic to livestock, and they can choke out native plants. But how can you recognize them?

And what can you do about them so they don’t take over?

Those are questions that Wildsight-Golden can help you answer.

Golden’s Community Weed Program, a partnership project between WildsightGolden and the Town of Golden, is now in operation and will be running until midAugust.

Invasive weeds can rapidly take over large areas, altering native ecosystems and pushing out native plants and animals. In fact, invasive species are considered to be the second largest threat to biodiversity worldwide, after habitat loss. Invasive weeds affect everybody and everything. They can degrade scenic beauty, disrupt recreational activities, ruin agricultural areas and poison domestic animals. The good news is that they can be managed at a local level in a relatively easy way if there is a focussed and dedicated effort.

Wildsight-Golden is hand pulling invasive weeds within Town boundaries, so if you see an infestation, they would like to hear about it. Please report the infestation to wildsightweedprogram@ gmail.com. Many areas require repeat pull-

Knapweed at the pedestrian bridge which is a target for Wildsight’s upcoming community weed pull event on July 11.

Photo Submitted ing year after year to remove the tens of thousands of seeds that are released from each plant annually.

Last week, removal targeted a new outbreak of absinth wormwood, Artemisia absinthium L., on the south end of town. A single plant can produce 50,000 seeds!

Wormwood gives off a sage-like scent, grows to about 1.2 meters tall, and invades open and disturbed sites such as pastures, rangelands, crop land, stream banks, prairies and old fields.

The Golden Community Weed Program encourages locals to become familiar with the plants on their property so that residents can do their part to start removing invasive weeds from their own backyards. Residents of Golden can arrange for a free invasive plant survey of their yard by emailing wildsightweedprogram@gmail.com or signing up at the Golden Farmer's Market.

Golden's Invasive Plant

Program Coordinator Sadie Parr will drop by at a convenient time and walk residents through their yard, identifying invasive plants and offering advice on the best methods to get rid of them.

With the continued help of the good people of Golden, and the hard work of the weed program coordinators of the past, present, and future, our town’s invasive weed population can be kept under control. However, continued effort is needed.

This summer Golden's Community Weed Program will be hosting its 7th Annual Community Weed-Pull events and hoping to have hands of all ages involved. Please join us in a community effort to keep knapweed under control along the Kicking Horse River on July 11!

We will be meeting at the Pedestrian Bridge at 9 a.m., with a free lunch to follow provided at Bac-

chus Books Cafe to all participants, so please RSVP. A second Weed-Pull event will take place August 3rd near Reflection Lake, meeting at the Rodeo Grounds from 3 to 6 p.m.

The Town of Golden provided partnership funding for this years' program and they continue to offer essential support by picking up and disposing of bags full of invasive weeds that are removed through hand pulling.

The program, overseen by the Golden branch of Wildsight, is also receiving support and expertise from the Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society: www.columbiashuswapinvasives. org.

For more information on the weed program, or to learn more about invasive plants on or off your property, please contact Sadie Parr at wildsightweedpogram@gmail.com, or come out and see us every other week at the Wednesday Farmer’s Market.

Palumbo explores the local legend of the Kinbasket Curse

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

I was asked by someone roughly 7 years ago about a curse that may be over the valley which gave me the opportunity to reacquaint myself with the story of native Indian habitation or

lack thereof in our part of the Columbia Valley. But unfortunately my research didn’t produce any concrete proof of the Kinbasket Curse.

David Thompson’s narrative, has information on the distribution of Kootenay Indians prior to contact with the white man. It records that he spent the winter of 1787-88, when he was seventeen years old with the Peigans on the upper Bow River. He stayed in the tepee of an old Indian named Saukamappee who he thought to be at least 75 to 80

years old. He told Thompson, how when he was a young man, the Peigans had driven the Kootenay Indians out of the Belly River region of southern Alberta through the south Kootenay Pass (present day Crownsnest Pass) to the Columbia Valley.

The precise dates are not provided, however, there is some indication that the Peigans had some guns they had traded from the Crees further east as well as from the early white traders. By this time the Peigans also had horses. This

combination plus the aggressiveness of the Peigans gave them the power to chase the Kootenays from the Belly River land. Saukamappee also told Thompson that the Plains Indians; Peigans, Bloods and Blackfoot (Blackfoot Nation) did not get horses until the 1715 to 1730 period so the route of the Kootenays to the Columbia took place after that time. The Kootenays had horses but they did not have guns.

Later contact by white men, Fidler and Thompson, gives credibility to the concept

The above photo is of the Kootenays at Donald in about 1883.

Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum that the Peigans dominated the Kootenays for many years.

The first recorded contact with the Kootenay Indians by white men was in 1792 when Hudson Bay Company surveyor Peter Fidler travelled with a group of Peigans up into the foothills on the east side of the Rockies to meet a Kootenay band that had come across the mountains to trade. Fidler watched as the Kootenays chopped firewood with hatchets crafted from sharpened elk antlers, then traded their good horses and furs for old kettles and broken iron tools that the Peigans had brought along. Fidler figured that any trade house would have given the Kootenays as much for one pelt as the Peigans gave them for ten, but the Kootenays walked home happy with their trifles, and wanted more.

What they wanted most were guns which the Peigans did not want them to have. Both the Peigans and the Kootenays had long traditions of travel back and forth across the Divide for hunting and trade.

The second recorded contact with the Kootenays came on October 14, 1800 when David Thompson, searching for a route through the mountains, met a group of Kootenays consisting of twenty six men and seven women close to the junction of the Panther and Red Deer Rivers, a site approximately 25 miles west of present day Sundre, Alberta. This meeting of the Kootenays’

by Thompson is of significance in our history since it resulted in the eventual discovery by the white man, of

Howse Pass, The Blaeberry and our own home, the Columbia Valley.

For many years the white traders on the Saskatchewan River had been hearing of a tribe on the west side of the mountains. The name of these people took on various forms in the early records.

They were called the “Cotta no hoas,” Cuttenehas, Cottonahaws and the “Coutenees.”

Thompson called them the Kootenaes.

Today they are known as the Kootenays.

Prior to the smallpox epidemic in the 1780s the Kootenays used several of the passes over the mountains to trade and hunt buffalo in the foothills and western edges of the prairie. By 1800 the smallpox had so decimated their numbers that all but a few trails had fallen into disuse. They still used the Blaeberry and Howse Pass as it was one of their safest trails, since the hostile Peigans did not venture north of the Saskatchewan River.

In the southern arm of their domain the Kootenays traded for food items with the Flathead and Lake Indians. Over the mountains vermillion (ochre), fur, hides and horses were the main items of trade. The Kootenay Indians were of necessity a nomadic nation consisting of several small groups who travelled the Kootenay and Columbia Valleys.

It was the search for food which kept the Kootenay bands small and constantly on the move.

Our part of the valley was closed in and had unpredictable winters with snow that was too deep to move around in but it was certainly a transportation route for our early peoples.

In Loving Memory of Maria De Sousa August. 29, 1931- June. 25, 2009

If roses grow in heaven, Lord, Please pick a bunch from us.

Place them in our Mother’s arms, And tell her they’re from us.

Tell her we love her, and we miss her so And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile.

For she’s our special angel in heaven Watching over her family once again.

Five years have passed since you left us Our hearts still ache in sadness And tears still flow.

Memories of you are all we have The pain of losing you will never go away What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.

You were a precious gift from God above, So much beauty, grace and love.

You touched our hearts in the most special way.

Remembering you is easy, We do it every day Forever loved, never forgotten Querida mai, querida vovo

McKenzie celebrates Calder Cup

Curtis McKenzie celebrates with the AHL’s championship trophy. Photo Submitted Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net A dream first season of professional hockey ended in style Tuesday night for Golden’s Curtis McKenzie when his Texas Stars beat the St. John’s Ice Caps in overtime to claim the AHL’s Calder Cup. “It’s been pretty surreal,” he said about the championship. “We’ve had the trophy out and around with us. It’s been a fun time. There is no better feeling than winning.”

The local product has experienced his fair share of team success over the course of his young career, including a Central Collegiate Hockey Association championship just last year as a member of

the Miami RedHawks of the NCAA. Still, there’s no doubt where this victory ranks for McKenzie early in his career.

“This tops it off for sure, I think just because of how long and how hard it was to win,” he said.

McKenzie, who also took home AHL Rookie of the Year honours in April, believes the experience he gained over the lengthy 21-game playoff run will prove to be invaluable for his career going forward.

“It was a great time to do that as a rookie and be in a playoff run like that,” he said. “You learn a lot in a playoff run. It’s a whole new type of hockey compared to the regular season…Playoff hockey is a physical, mental and emotional grind the whole way through.”

The end of season totals are very impressive for the 23 year-old. McKenzie’s 65 points lead all rookies during the regular season and he topped that off with three goals and 11 assists to finish in an eight-way tie for 8th in the league in playoff scoring.

A big part of McKenzie’s development this year has been a result of the tutelage he has received from head coach Willie Desjardins, who was named the next head coach of the Vancouver Canucks on Monday.

“I think he’s probably the best thing that could have happened to me,” McKenzie said. “He was great for me and developing me. There were times where he had to push me a little more or take a little off me and just find ways to give me confidence.”

Due to the Stars’ deep run in this spring’s playoffs, it will be a short off-season for McKenzie this year. He’ll be flying home to Golden for a few days to relax before spending most of his offseason in Calgary and Vancouver, where he will work with Dallas Stars personnel to get ready for training camp. Training camp will open in early September and McKenzie’s goals for next year remain clear - to make it to the NHL. “It was a dream season for sure,” he reflected. “I never thought all of this would happen to me in one season...It was a fun year and a year I’ll never forget.”

Topping the season he had in 2013-2014 will be no easy task, but for McKenzie, leaving September’s camp as a member of the Dallas Stars wouldn’t be a bad way to start.

Brothers ready to host hoops camp Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Two of Golden’s rising basketball stars are ready to give local kids a chance to improve their skills, and have plenty of fun at the same time.

Saje and Kiran Gosal, both starters on Golden Secondary School’s senior boys basketball team, are planning to run a basketball camp for boys and girls in Grades 1-7. The camp will run in the afternoon from July 14-18 at the Rec Plex and will cost $125 per child.

Saje and Kiran came up with the idea for the camp with some help from their mother Laurie Macdougall.

Growing up, the boys attended numerous basketball camps in Golden

but recently there haven’t been many options for kids to participate in basketball during the summer.

“Kiran and I figured since we’ve been (participating in camps) since we were five years old, we may as well try to see if we can keep it going in Golden,” Saje said.

“So we’re giving it a shot this year and if it goes well, we’ll continue to do it.”

Throughout the camp, kids will learn a variety of skills, including dribbling, passing and shooting, as well as basic team play and strategy.

The campers will also have a unique opportunity to learn through studying video.

“A lot of kids like to see what they look like, including myself actually,” Kiran said.

The kids will be broken up into a pair of groups depending on age, and while both groups will be having fun and

playing games, the older kids will focus a little more on skill development and improvement.
