Singletrack 6 race passes through Golden Golden Dolphins keep getting stronger .......................................19

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Golden played host to two stages of one of the biggest and most exciting mountain biking events in the region last week. The Singletrack 6 went off without a hitch.

This is the first time Golden has hosted the

event, run by TransRockies, and Golden Tourism's Joanne Sweeting says the organizers couldn't be happier with how it went.

"I went to the awards on Tuesday, and there was some really great feedback from the athletes, saying how great the trails were. A lot of them said they were the best trails they had ridden," said Sweeting, who originally put in the bid for Gold-

en to host the race.

Golden, being the only community to host two stages of the six-day race, was able to provide a beautiful start and finish line in downtown Golden, and have trails close enough that the riders were on them and off the pavement within minutes of starting.

Canal Flats fire burned over weekend Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Last week the smoke from a fire down south was visible from the top of the gondola at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

The Southeast Fire Centre had been responding to a wildfire near White Tail Brook, about 10 kilometres east of the village of Canal Flats.

The fire did not bring in as much smoke as the two fires in Kinbasket and Banff National Park earlier in July, and no air quality advisory was issued, but some of the smoke did make it up to Golden.

The fire covers an estimated 150 hectares and no structures or communities are at risk at this time.

The Wildfire Management Branch is conducting a full response to this fire, including multiple helicopters and airtankers supporting over 40 personnel on the ground.

The fire site is close to the Nine Mile Forest Service Road, which connects to the Whiteswan Forest Service Road. The Whiteswan Forest Service Road and access to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park remain open, but the Wildfire Management Branch has established security stations to limit access to some small back roads in the area. Depending on fire behaviour, there could be additional back road closures.

The Wildfire Management Branch has responded to 31 wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre since Thursday, July 24. The majority of them have been small, spot-sized wildfires and none of those fires are currently threatening any properties or infrastructure.

With hot and dry conditions forecast through next week and the potential for more thunderstorms on the long weekend, the Southeast Fire Centre is urging the public to be extra cautious in the backcountry. All person-caused fires are preventable and these incidents may affect the ability of the firefighting crews to respond to naturally occurring fires.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the mid-point of the summer season.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all possible precautions and observe campfire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are human caused, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes.

"It just shows that as a destination, we've got the wherewithal to hold these kinds of massive events," added Sweeting. "And we were able to pitch for two stages. We can do that because we have 100km of racable trails."

TransRockies is a professional event organizer, and ran a very smooth event here in town. But before they got here, it was the Golden Cycling Club who laid the groundwork by building the trails, through donations and volunteer hours, to make Golden a genuine mountain biking destination.

"The club was so great. After we put the bid in, I contacted them because I didn't know the trails, and they just jumped on it and kept in contact with TransRockies to help map the routes."

Now that the race is done, Sweeting and Tourism Golden have their sights set on next year, and making their Totally Spoked Festival (which included the Singletrack 6 and multiple other biking events in town) successful again next year.

One of the great things about hosting such a prestigious event is that Tourism Golden has images, video, and lots of other marketing collateral that will help the organization attract similar events to the community. And TransRockies was very helpful with that goal.

"They were really nice, very helpful with what we wanted. We got some great imagery and video to help us in the future to target similar event organizers," said Sweeting.

The benefit of attracting professional events like these is that the organizers take care of what they need to. All that needs to be done at this end is pave the way, and make it easy for them to get what they need (which was done with the help of the Golden Cycling Club, the Town of Golden, the RCMP and Fire Department, as well as local business and service organizations).

That is not to say that the community is not involved. The reception in town has also been inspiring says Sweeting.

"It was unbelievable. The buzz around the start area was amazing," she said. "There was a really cool atmosphere in town, with a lot of things being hosted by the community. I'm just so pleased with how it all turned out, it was great. We just need more of it now."

There will you will also be able to find the Strava (an app that logs bike rides, and allows you to compare your rides to those of fellow riders in the area) logged routes from local rider Shane Kroeger, who won the 5k downhill race portion of the event.

Using Mouthwash to Hide Liquor Breath

Before the advent of the roadside screening device the use of mouthwash to hide the odour of liquor on a driver’s breath was not unheard of. Today using a mouthwash containing alcohol as you approach a road check can be a very dangerous thing to do. The alcohol present in your mouth from the mouthwash could produce a warn or fail reading on the device when your true blood alcohol level is less.

This topic was prompted by a woman who e-mailed me to present her husband’s drinking history from the previous evening. After a good night’s sleep, breakfast, tooth brushing and gargling with mouthwash he was checked by police on his way to work. The officer smelled liquor, tested the husband with a screening device and received a warn reading. She was concerned that having been tested within 10 minutes of gargling the warn reading was a result of mouth alcohol rather than breath alcohol from the previous evening.

There is some possibility that mouth alcohol did play a part in this situation. The exact scenario was played out when I taught other officers to use the screening device. The student partners each took turns rinsing their mouths with mouthwash and then testing to see how long it took for the mouth alcohol to dissipate. One partner was to talk after rinsing and the other was to keep their mouth closed except when providing a sample. In either case, after 10 minutes mouth alcohol no longer produced a reading.

I was somewhat suspicious of the scenario. Six drinks the evening previous, tooth brushing and mouthwash use prior to driving and the officer still smelled the odour of liquor on the driver’s breath. Should this driver have consumed a significant amount of liquor during the evening it is possible that his blood alcohol level would be high enough to produce a warn the following morning without help from the mouthwash.

Edible garden tour highlights some of Golden’s finest gardens Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net There are numerous home gardeners, young and old, experienced and not-so experienced, living in town. On Aug. 10, Goldenites will have a chance to explore a select number of local gardens as part of an edible garden tour.

Joyce deBoer, an avid gardener herself, is organizing the tour in partnership with Wildsight and the Golden Food Bank. Last year, gardens were visited as a structured tour, but this year’s event will give the attendees the ability to choose how they view the various gardens.

“I thought, this way, people could move at their own pace,” deBoer said. “If there is a garden that they are less interested in, they could move on without affecting the rest of the group.”

The day will begin at 10 a.m. when maps will be distributed at the Golden Museum. Gardens will be available for viewing until noon, and again from 1-4 p.m., with a break for lunch in between. Participants will receive discounts at a few local shops with their tickets.

Each garden promises to be an educational experience for all, whether they are experienced gardeners looking for a couple of small tips, or keen first timers who need a little bit more help and advice.

However, deBoer hopes it will be much more than that.

“This is an opportunity for people to become inspired and to see what people have been doing under the same circumstances, the same light, and soil conditions,” deBoer said.

Food and eating locally are two things deBoer places a great deal of importance on, which is why she started the event in the first place.

“Food is a way to connect people…I’m not a big fan of mega-anything, so (it’s always good) if we can find ways to eat more locally,” she said.

Tickets for the tour are $10 and are available for purchase at the museum the day of th event.

An edible garden tour will showcase several of Golden’s many home gardens, including Kerri Lautamus’ garden, pictured here.

Golden & District Community Foundation seeking local input

Denise English and Christina Benty complete the Golden & Area A’s Vital Signs survey on their smart phone and computer. The Golden & District Community Foundation is expecting hundreds of local residents to grade the community on 13 Issue Areas. Photo Submitted Ryan Watmough Submitted The Golden & District Community Foundation (GDCF) is eager to hear what Golden and Area A’s residents think.

The GDCF and their team of volunteers are researching

an update to their 2011 community indicator report, to be released in October. While the standard Vital Signs Report measures 12 standard Issue Areas across all Vital Signs communities, the GDCF has added a new Issue Area, Recreation and Leisure, to better capture

the activity and priorities of the community.

“It’s great to see the 2011 Report used as a grant making tool with the GDCF and the CBT Community Initiatives & Affected Areas Program. But after working with the Report over the last three

The most trusted names in the Education Industry recruit using LocalWork.ca

years, we felt that the scope and breadth of recreation & leisure could be better represented if we focused on it just like we do with Work and Arts and Culture,” explained Nola Milum, Chairperson of the GDCF. “So we dedicated an entire Issue Area to it.”

A group of dedicated volunteers is busy collecting and analyzing data from local, provincial and national sources to determine how Golden is doing relative to other communities, the province, the nation, and, most importantly, to itself over time.

“It’s much easier the second time around,” said Denise English, GDCF volunteer, who played a key role in the 2011 Vital Signs Report. “The group of volunteers is great to work with. They are so dedicated to Golden.”

However, the elimination of the long form Census in 2011 has made it much more difficult for small communities like Golden to understand how they are performing.

The household data that was collected in the past (2006) was not required in the short-form

Census or National Household Survey (NHS) in 2011. Since the response rate was very low with the NHS, much of the data for Golden & Area A was suppressed.

This data deficiency has forced the GDCF and it’s volunteers to become very creative in looking for locally-collected data sets to determine how the community is performing and where support is required.

They are requesting all types of data from local governments and community groups – from total kilometers of trails and membership numbers to number of cars on the highway. Any local groups that have good indicator data that they are willing to share are invited to contact the GDCF. All Golden & Area A residents are welcome to complete a survey to rate how the community is performing related to the 13 Issue Areas and pick their priorities for the future. This feedback will be used to set priorities with the GDCF and other local organizations.

The survey is available through http://www.goldencommunityfoundation.ca

Negiotiations resume for BC teachers Fire Centre changes mind on campfire bans Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Negotiators for school districts and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are getting together Aug. 8 to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute before school starts up in September.

A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resumption of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. government announced a contingency plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September.

The B.C. Liberals, and Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced last Thursday they would use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13. The government saves an estimated $12 million a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day.

De Jong said older children don’t require as much supervision, and have online options to maintain their studies if the labour dispute takes more instructional time away. The amount was chosen to compensate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 in public school at no net cost to the provincial budget. Parents would have to register online to be eligible for compensation, to be paid by October.

There are five weeks remaining in the summer break for most public schools to reach a settlement with the BCTF, and de Jong says hopes the program won’t be needed.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the announcement a “trial balloon” that suggests the dispute may be months away from resolution.

“I think parents are going to look at this and say, ‘you know what, school is not daycare’,” Fleming said.

The BCTF was appalled by the announcement, saying the government’s focus should remain on bargaining.

“This announcement from the government to strip education funding from BC students is a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in BC schools,” said BCTF president Jim Iker.

“This scheme will not help improve class sizes, increase support for children with special needs, or provide more one-on-one time for all students. It is my hope that the government will redirect its energies into reaching an agreement with B.C. teachers through mediation this summer.”

Negotiations had remained stalled with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation after a two-week strike in June that cost the province’s 40,000 public school teachers $12 million a day in salary.

However the announcement that they are returning to negotiations is a step in the right direction.

RCMP Report: Overdue climbers found

by GADSAR without any injuries Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Moose collision On July 23, a driver from Alberta was travelling westbound on Hwy 1 near Quartz Creek when they were unable to avoid an animal on the road. They collided with a young female moose. Unfortunately the moose died at the scene. The occupant of the vehicle was uninjured.

Overdue climbers At 9 a.m. on July 29 report was received of two climbers that were overdue for two days. The two climbers were in the Howser Spires area. Golden and District Search and Rescue (GADSAR) was activated through PEP and flew over the area.

They located the two and confirmed they were uninjured and would be hiking out on their own.

They reported that they had run into some bad weather and decided to stay an extra night. Later that same evening, another call was received regarding a separate climbing group that had an accident. They managed to make their way back to their camp despite arm and ankle injuries.

That group was escorted out the following morning by air and taken to hospital for treatment.

Police would like to remind all back country users of the importance of being prepared and for leaving an accurate itinerary with friends or

family.

Graffiti at Pentecostal church Anyone with information regarding the graffiti which was sprayed on the side of the Pentecostal Tabernacle Church at 717 10th Street South is asked to the call the RCMP. Hang glider crashes Hang gliding incidents On July 31, police responded to two reported incidents involving hang gliders. One glider crashed early in the afternoon after launching off of Mount 7. Golden and Area Search and Rescue (GADSAR) was called and the subject was located and transported to hospital for treatment. A second report was received where a glider landed in a field south of Nicholson.

The landing was in some tall grass, which caused the pilot to become entangled in their gear and they suffered an injury to their face as a result. The pilot was able to summon assistance through the use of a spot beacon and they were located and transported to hospital for treatment.

Speeding Albertan An Alberta resident had their vehicle impounded for seven days after being observed travelling 118 kph in a 60 kph zone on Aug. 1. The driver was charged for excessive speed.

Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Although they had stated last week that a campfire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre was not currently being considered, the fire centre had to change its mind after the warm dry weather drastically increased the risk of wildfires.

Effective at noon Pacific Time on Tuesday, Aug. 5, campfires will be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre to help prevent humancaused wildfires and protect public safety.

This measure is in addition to an open burning prohibition implemented on July 2.

With the current trend of warm and dry weather in British Columbia, wildfires have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires.

The campfire prohibition will remain in place until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. A map of the area covered by the ban is available online at: http://bit.ly/1ptXdeU Specifically, prohibited activities will include: * Campfires, as defined in the wildfire regulation. * The burning of any waste, slash or other materials. * Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. * The use of burning barrels of any size or description. * The use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches or chimineas (outdoor fire pits).

The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The use of a campfire apparatus that does not meet these specifications is prohibited.

The prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments.

Anyone found in violation of a fire prohibition, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345.

Commemorate 100 years This summer, and probably for the next couple of years, everywhere you look in the media the anniversaries of the First World War are being commemorated.

Governments and organizations the world over are paying tribute to the sacrifices of their citizens 100 years ago.

- I SURMISE Here in Golden a

By Jessica Schwitek small ceremony was held at the Cenotaph near Town Hall, unveiling a new plaque and honouring Golden’s contributions to the war effort, both overseas and at the home front. Local author Francis Hern read out an excerpt at the ceremony about the experiences of local soldier George Soles’, who fortunately did return home.

A breathtaking homage has been erected in England using an iconic symbol...the poppy. The Tower of London is now home to 888, 246 ceramic poppies (one for each British or Colonial fatality during the war), that are flowing out of the tower in a “sea of crimson.”

The display called “Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red” will also go to help veteran organizations, as the proceeds from the sale of each individual poppy, once the display is taken down, will be donated.

Also in the U.K., on the steps of Chamberlain Square in Birmingham, 5,000 little ice figurines sit melting to remember the civilians who lost their lives in the conflict...A group that is often forgotten, and rarely formally recognized.

An argument that I consistently see posted online around the stories of these monuments is that we are remembering fallen soldiers from 100 years ago and ignoring the ones who continue to fight today.

Although I agree that the armed forces serving today need not be neglected, we still have an obligation to recognize the sacrifices made back then, sacrifices that we could not imagine today. 600,000 people went overseas (including soldiers, nurses and chaplains). That is 7.6 per cent of Canada’s population at the time. And 67,000 of those people were killed.

If Canada contributed the same percentage of manpower in a conflict today, that would be 2,650,880 men and women heading overseas.

Which also means that 296,898 would not be returning home.

That is a sacrifice beyond comprehension in this day and age - 296,898 lost Canadian lives.

The only way to truly honour their sacrifice, is to never forget it. There will be countless documentaries and specials on television in the coming years about what these soldiers went through 100 years ago. The least we can do is pay attention.

Smart Meters To the editor, B.C.’s Energy Minister admits smart meter fires … but will do nothing.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett admits to smart meter fires in British Columbia, but rather than do anything, he expresses disappointment that Saskatchewan is taking action to protect its citizens.

On July 30 Saskatchewan Energy Minister Bill Boyd called a halt to the smart meter program, demanding removal of 105,000 meters after eight “failures”, that include fires and exploding meters. http://globalnews. ca/news/1483134/saskpower-ordered-to-remove-all-smart-meters-in-the-province/ “I think the concerns about safety are paramount here, the concerns are significant enough, anytime families are at risk in Saskatchewan, actions have to be taken and that’s why we’ve directed SaskPower accordingly,” said Minister Boyd.

In British Columbia, where we’ve had more “failures”, which have also included fires and exploding meters, Bill Bennett and BC Hydro consistently have refused to acknowledge the danger and, instead, put the blame on homeowners’ meter bases and wiring. It doesn’t matter why a home burns after a smart meter has been installed – whether it was because the inexperienced installer damaged the base or that the meter heated up due to design flaws. The fact is that property and lives have been put at risk and our government is refusing to protect us.

Bennett is sorry that Saskatchewan is taking this action. “It’s unfortunate that Saskatchewan is doing what it’s doing…” Why? Because it shows that some provincial governments are more concerned about their citizens than others. It puts B.C. to shame. http://www.cknw.com/2014/07/30/while-saskatchewan-yanks-its-smart-meters-bc-wont-do-the-same/ Finally Bennett is admitting there have been fires due to smart meters in BC. This is a first, but it’s way too late. Fires have been occurring for the last three years, and Hydro and Liberals have denied it. The evidence has been hidden and people have been living with a fire hazard on their bedroom walls.

He’s told Hydro to find out how many have occurred. That may be difficult because no agency is tracking them.

Why is Bennett asking for a count? Is it just because he feels he must do something? Saskatchewan doesn’t know why the meters have caused fires – they are taking action because fires have occurred. We have had many fires and incidents in B.C., and nothing has been done to protect us. Instead the program has been protected with lies and cover-ups. Do we not deserve the same precautionary action as Saskatchewan?

The Coalition to Stop Smart Meters asks, “Please tell us, Mr. Bennett, what is the right number, how many homes must burn before you will stop this dangerous program??”

Partisan Politics It’s time the B.C. premier and the leader of the B.C. Teachers Federation quit talking about the importance of children and put our money where their mouths are.

Christy “family values” Clark should place an amount of money on the bargaining table equivalent to the average other provinces are spending on education. If the BCTF website is correct, B.C.’s funding for education on a per capita student basis is a disquieting $1,000 below the national average.

The teachers’ bargaining team, with the help of a non-partisan facilitator, can then participate in deciding how to distribute these additional funds.

Teachers, who like to say how committed they are to their students, will then have to decide how much should go towards wage increases and how much should go toward reducing class size, i.e., hiring more teachers and support staff. In other words, teachers will have to become part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

The educational system will inevitably soak up all of the money thrown into it.

Therefore, elected officials must set responsible limits by finding the correct balance between the short-term interests of taxpayers and the long-term interests of progressively developing our province.

In short, partisan politics should be taken out of education.

Pizza for donating all of that money to the Golden Women’s Resource Centre. A great way to introduce yourself to the community!

It would be very informative if someone could produce three maps of Canada and show by coloured green spaces, how much wild forest we had 100 years ago, how much 200 years ago, and on the last, how much is left now.

No doubt the comparison between the three maps would be shocking.

Most people are aware that natural forests, whether on a mountainside or on flat areas, are vital to us in many ways, only two of which are less flooding as water is absorbed with forest roots, as well as the branches purifying our air.

In addition, of course, is the natural living space for countless animals, insects, and birds.

However, extensive logging of pristine forests causes remaining areas to become dry and subject to fires. These natural forests should be left untouched by human intervention, and certainly no walking trails should be created. This not only intrudes on natural living space for wild animals and birds, but allows wild creatures to come into developed areas.

With increasing human populations, we need more natural green space, rather than less, in order for us to have a healthy life.

L. Rauh Mission

Premier Clark commemorates 100 years since World War I Premier Christy Clark Submitted Aug. 4, 2014, marks 100 years since Canada joined the British Empire as a participant in the Great War. The grievous loss of life and immense suffering on all sides remains a dark chapter in world history. But this war also saw Canada come into its own as a coun-

try: proud, persistent, and courageous, even in the face of death.

Some 620,000 Canadians served in Europe, my grandfather among them. Of those, 55,570 came from British Columbia - the greatest enlistment rate by share of population among the provinces.

The names of our 6,225 dead can be found on monuments in every village, town, and city throughout this

province.

As we remember their sacrifices, we should also reflect on the better times in which we live. Immigration and trade have made our country stronger and brought our world closer together than ever before.

That world is still troubled, and I thank those who continue to fight for our freedom.

Let us never forget that it comes at a price.

Ontario band the Strumbellas had the Spirit Square crowd cheering for an encore at their Summer Kicks performance on July 30.

Last Kicks show features Oh My Darling Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Oh My Darling, a four-piece band out of Winnipeg, will be bringing its ‘unique brand of country’ to Spirit Square as the headliners for the final Summer Kicks show of 2014.

Unique is definitely the right term for a group that combines traditional, roots and country music while also performing songs in both French and English on the banjo, fiddle and guitar.

“French has always been a part of our group, part of our band, part of our inspiration,” said singer/guitarist Vanessa Kuzina. “Our very first performance was at a Francophone festival in Winnipeg.”

The foursome formed in Winnipeg after a jam session and has since released four albums, including their latest effort, 2012’s Venez Danser.

According to Kuzina, a lot has changed with the group since their initial release in 2009.

“We definitely started playing with mostly traditional stuff,” Kuzina said. “That

Oh My Darling will put a cap on Summer Kicks with their Aug. 13 show in Spirit Square.

Photo Submitted evolved into it being more than just oldtime music and with more than just one writer.”

The tunes that Kuzina writes typically tell stories about life on the prairies and she has been labelled the “cowboy poet” by the rest of the band.

The band’s unique sound is best exemplified by how they typically start their sets.

Early on, the audience can expect to

hear one traditional song, an instrumental and then a song written by Kuzina about her grandmother. “(Our shows) are a high-energy, rollicking, fun-loving, barndance good time,” Kuzina said.

A big part of what has led to their success is that each member brings their own style to the table.

“I think what makes us work so well is our understand-

ing of each other’s strengths and giving everybody an opportunity to shine,” Kuzina said. “So it’s not really about one particular person in the band, it’s about the group.”

Oh My Darling will be joined by Will Wardwell and PerlHaze as part of a special triple bill on Aug. 13. The show will get underway at 6:30 p.m. to accommodate the extra act.

Neil Diamond impersonator will take centre stage at Legion Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Jason Scott’s parents pushed music on him from a young age, and he was never quite sure why, until he watched the Beatles’ famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1963.

“That’s when the lightbulb went on over my head…That’s when I realized that I want to do what these guys were doing,” Scott said.

Scott has been performing as Neil Diamond with his one-man show Diamond Forever: A Celebration of Neil Diamond since 1997 and will be bringing the tunes of the American legend to the Royal Canadian Legion in Golden on Aug. 15.

The idea to perform as Diamond grew out of a karaoke performance several years after his original musical career ended.

Scott was at a bar watching his beloved Vancouver Canucks when karaoke started up and his friend asked him to perform a Neil Diamond song.

“I just started singing…and there was this major ‘whoop’ that went up in the crowd and I thought the Canucks scored.

I looked down and all the crowd is on its feet and they’re clapping (for me),” he said.

The idea grew from there and Scott began to study Diamond’s voice, techniques and mannerisms. Soon, impersonating Diamond became his full-time career.

Over the years, Scott has performed all across North America, including shows at

The Rosen Plaza Hotel in Orlando, Florida, aboard The Royal Caribbean ship “The Monarch of the Seas”, and numerous casinos and soft-seat theatres.

There’s a certain quality about Diamond’s music that Scott believes makes him such an iconic performer across multiple generations.

“His music is absolutely timeless, he’s iconic and he’s the quintessential American songwriting troubadour,” Scott said. “(His songs) are ageless.”

While perfecting Diamond’s catalogue is extremely important, perfecting the artist’s look and mannerisms is also vital to delivering a full experience for the audience. Scott, who is bald, pays upwards of $3,000 for wigs and also manicures his eyebrows to look like those of Diamond.

“Other than that, I just put on the wig and let the sparkly shirt do the job,” Scott laughed.

Earlier this year, Scott was chosen to be the only Diamond performance artist to represent Canada in a musical documentary called “Play Me”. The film will showcase the on-and-off stage lives of select Neil Diamond artists from around the world.

The red carpet event for the film is set for next summer, and Scott believes this might finally be his chance to meet the actual Neil Diamond.

“I think it will be on that red carpet that I will be meeting Neil Diamond, because I cannot see him not being at that event,” he said.

Tickets for the show are available from the Golden branch of the Legion.

Jason Scott will be performing as Neil Diamond at the Royal Canadian Legion in Golden on Aug. 15. Families are welcome.

Cover to Cover: The Dude and the Zen Master

Jeff Bridges teams up with a Zen Master for a philosophical look at life.

Blue Rider Press Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Apparently many Buddhists consider The Dude, the main character in The Big Lebowski, a Zen Master. That was shocking news to Jeff Bridges, who expertly portrayed the laidback bowler in the critically acclaimed Coen brothers film. With that knowledge as a backdrop, Bridges teamed

up with long-time friend and actual Zen Master Bernie Glassman to pen The Dude and the Zen Master.

The book features a few references to the film, but is mostly made up of the musings of Bridges and Glassman as they explore topics such as life, love, and enlightenment through a back and forth conversation.

The idea of Dude

Lebowski as a Zen Master isn’t as absurd as it might sound. As Bridges says, The Dude is much more likely to ‘hug it out than slug it out’, and displays an enormous level of patience when dealing with his rather volatile friend Walter.

One of the more interesting topics for me centred on the U.S. response to 9/11. After a grieving period, the U.S. went into revenge mode with a full fledged ‘War on Terror’. Bridges believes that kneejerk reaction was absurd.

“We couldn’t stay with questions like: What is our place in the world?

Why did those guys crash airplanes into our buildings and kill so many people? What had we done, if anything, to get such a reaction?” Bridges wrote.

Glassman responded by saying that making amends with American enemies, while also punishing the terrorists responsible for the attacks, would have been a better approach than all-out

war. Regardless of your opinion on the topic, that conversation made for a great read and is surely the most controversial subject in the entire book.

Bridges also explores his various movie roles and some of the stresses he felt leading up to their filming. For movie buffs, it offers some pretty handy insight into the life of an actor, and it was interesting to read about Bridges’ relationships with his co-stars, hair and makeup artists, and stand-ins.

While they do reference The Big Lebowski from time to time all of the chapter titles are also quotes from the film - I wouldn’t say the movie is required viewing for the book… although you should probably watch the movie if you haven’t already, as it is considered a Coen classic.

Most importantly, the book is a fairly easy read despite its sometimes heavy subject matter.

Much of the dialogue is written in a lighthearted way and there is just enough humour

there to keep it from ever feeling like a philosophy textbook. Having said that, it probably works best as a bathroom read, as the chapters aren’t very long and it can get slightly tedious to read it for long stretches of time.

The Dude and the Zen Master is available for purchase at Bacchus Books & Cafe.

Farming family turned weather hardships into a delicious treat

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

Eighteen years ago while visiting with Uncle Eddie and Auntie Laura in Saskatchewan, I was reminded by a cousin of a story that I had heard once before, about the difficulties of farming the prairies and the special spirit that those times took.

The crops were just about ready to harvest when the hail came. Everyone stayed inside holding their breath until the storm blew over.

As they went outside to check the damage, they were stunned to find the entire crop

Uncle Eddie stood still for a few minutes and then

sent cousin Ron to get the horse, round up the neighbours and

You “mustache” me how to promote your business...

bring them back.

Together they would find out the extent of damage done to everyone around them and see if any solutions could be found.

Once Ron was gone he sent the girls to the house for water pails and told them to fill them with hail stones.

He said “We won’t let this be a complete loss, we will us the hail stones to make ice cream and serve it to the neighbors when they get here.”

His spirit still touches me and it was that kind of spirit that made it possible for all families to survive the hardships.”

Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum While I don’t recommend that you wait for the hail, I’m adding to this story a recipe for Tin Can Ice Cream, as it would have been made.

It’s just as simple today as it was then and you could gather your neighbors together and make it in your backyard, or put all the ingredients into a cooler and take it on a picnic and make it there.

As well as the ingredients listed below, you will need a small coffee can and a three pound can, both with tight fitting lids. You’ll also need two cups of rock or pickling salt and some masking tape.

Tin Can Ice Cream 1 cup of milk 1 cup of whipping cream 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Nuts or fresh fruit, chopped fine Flavour as desired.

Put all the ingredients in the small coffee can with the tight fitting lid. Mix all the ingredients together really well and then put the lid on. Tape the edges of the lid so that it doesn’t come off.

Put the smaller can with the ingredients in it, into the larger can. Pack the space between the two cans with crushed ice.

Pour 3/4 of a cup salt

evenly over the ice.

Put the lid on the three pound can and seal with masking tape. Roll the can back and forth on a counter, tabletop or what have you for 10 minutes. Take the tape off the outer can.

Drain off the water, remove inner can.

Remove the tape from the lid, open the can and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the sides of the can. Tape the lids back on, place it back in the larger can. Add more crushed ice and more salt.

Roll back and forth for five more minutes. Repeat this once more. Makes about three cups. Enjoy.

Stats show fatigue major risk factor Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Because I “nose” about sales!

Call Adam Zarachowicz 250-344-5251 advertising@thegoldenstar.net

New survey results released by ICBC last week show an alarming trend that is putting motorists at risk.

The survey shows that 30 per cent of respondents admitted that they have nodded off while driving, and yet only 54 per cent of respondents said that they think drivers fatigued from long hours of driving have a very serious impact on road safety.

Driver fatigue-related crashes in B.C. peak in July and August, with an average of three people

killed and 81 injured in each of these months making it one of the bigger risk factors on the road.

Fatigue slows your reaction time and impairs your judgement. When driving at highway speeds, even a slight reduction of your reaction time can significantly increase your risk of a crash.

Over the B.C. Day long weekend, on average, four people are killed and 530 people are injured in 1,900 crashes across the province (police data 2008-2012). Ninety-four of those injuries and 360 of those crashes, on average, are in the in Southern Interior.

StarCROSSWORD

Since commercial production of wine or cider is allowed on farmland, why not a brewery, distillery or meadery?

Should energy co-generation be allowed on farms, using manure or other biodegradable waste to produce methane gas and carbon dioxide?

These are some of the questions included in the B.C. government's consultation on changes to Agricultural Land Reserve regulations, released last week. Others deal with controversial proposals to allow specified non-farm uses, secondary residences and subdivisions without permission from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Developed after consultation with the B.C. Agriculture Council, local governments and the commission, the 11 questions offer more detail on changes the government is considering under legislation passed despite protests this spring.

The NDP, including Golden’s MLA Norm Macdonald strongly opposed the legislation, saying it, “does absolutely nothing to promote agriculture in this province, it does not support farmers, and lessens our ability to feed ourselves into the future.”

The legislation divided the ALR into two zones, to permit more flexibility in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions (Zone 2) where both agriculture revenue and development pressure are lower.

One question asks whether farmland in all of Zone 2 should be able to be subdivided down to a minimum of a quarter section (65 hectares) without application to the ALC, as is now allowed in the Peace River and Northern Rockies Regional Districts in northeast B.C. Another proposal is to allow subdivision without ALC approval where farmland is divided by a major waterway or highway, subject to a minimum size.

The province is also considering relaxing lease rules, which currently permit leasing of an entire farm property without ALC approval. The consultation asks if a portion of property should be allowed for lease to permit "intergenerational transfer," where farmers retire on a portion of their land so their children can continue to farm the rest.

Another proposal for partial lease without ALC approval would allow unfarmed land to be brought into production. The partial leases would not require a formal subdivision.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has emphasized that changes to the ALR are designed to support farming, not erode the protected agricultural land base.

Public input is being accepted until Aug. 22. The questions and a background paper are available online at www.engage.gov.bc.ca/landreserve, where submissions can be made.

Comments can also be made by email to ALCA_feedback@gov.bc.ca.

Allen Bert Healy

July 20th 1954 – July 7th 2014 Missing and Presumed….. … Presumed, ….presumed to be causing Cosmic Mischief and Cosmic Joy on the other side of THE SPIRITUAL CURTAIN. That’s what’s presumed.

On July 7th, Allen Healy and Mike Murphy, best friends for more than 40 years, got off work early, from the Mica Creek Power Dam, where they were Industrial Electrical Contractors to BC Hydro. So… they played a round of golf, had a BBQ, and went fishing on Kinbasket Lake, about 6 pm. When they had not returned to camp by 11:30 the Security officer raised the alarm and a search was initiated by the RCMP at 4:30 am the next morning. Search and rescue boats and helicopters searched for a week, and then went to Search and Recovery. But no recovery was to take place. On July 18th the search was called off. Kinbasket Lake will be their grave, but not their destiny.

Mind is an energy system and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. (In physics, The law of conservation of energy states that Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but is TRANSMUTED, changes form.) The Mind system that is you, or me, or Allen, goes on after the body ceases to function. The driver has left the vehicle but the Mind/Soul had picked up a lighter one for the next adventure ahead. So it is with Al. Al, will be greatly missed by those he leaves behind, and by those whose lives he touched, which were many. He is survived by his wife, Dawn Marie Huff and his two children and their spouses: daughter, Candice Doyle (Bob), of Calgary; step-son Nathan Healy (Sarah) of Surrey, BC. He is also survived by his 6 grandchildren and 12 nephews and nieces.

He will be greatly missed by his two remaining brothers and their families, Roy Healy (Stephanie), Dave Healy (Sylvia Feldman,) of Invermere.

A celebration of life memorial is planned for Saturday, September 13th, (2 – 4 pm) at Roy and Stephanie Healy’s home in Invermere. (R.S.V.P.) In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations be made to the Revelstoke RCMP Search and Rescue Team in Allen Healy’s name.

If your time is up, then your time is up…. But, What a great way to go: Golf; BBQ; Fishing, with your best friend. Sail on oh brother…. See you on the other side. Check out the fishing holes for when I get there. (wink)

Local Jeremy Harris was chosen by Cycling Club for Singletrack 6 Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Jeremy Harris moved to Western Canada to ski and snowboard, but quickly fell in love with mountain biking as well.

Last week he competed in the Singletrack 6 series and finished 15th among riders in the 40+ category (56th overall).

Each town that hosted a stage received one free entry for a local rider. The Golden Cycling Club chose Harris, who was accompanied on the tour by his own personal fan club, his wife Terri and children Olivia and Max. “It was really because of his deep-seated history with cycling in the Golden community,” said Trevor Gavura of the Cycling Club, referring to why Harris was chosen for the free entry.

Harris, who grew up in Australia, moved to Canada in 1990 and immediately took to the growing sport of mountain biking after a visit to Moab, Utah.

“That was it…I didn’t really know what I was doing but it was amazing,” Harris said. “I came out of that ride and my hands were numb, it was awesome.”

He moved to Golden from Lake Louise in 1997 and has lived here ever since.

“I came around here in 1994 and rode the Canyon Creek trail…I was like ‘I gotta get back here’,” he recalled.

Unfortunately, he ran into numerous mechanical issues that made the gruelling race series that much tougher on him and lost his top ten standing in the 40+ category in the race’s final stage in Revelstoke after enduring five flat tires.

“I was definitely feeling burnt out by the last day,” he said.

“But overall it was a great experience for me and my family to do together.”

Harris competed with a heavy heart throughout the six stage event, having recently lost his co-worker, friend and riding partner Sean Schacher, who died from apparent

Jeremy Harris was given a free entry to the Singletrack 6 race series because of his long-time commitment and dedication to the trails in Golden.

Photo Submitted heart failure while mountain biking early last month.

“We’d known each other for a long time…(his death) was just one of those things that hits when it’s least expected. It rocked the community,” Harris said.

Harris, along with the Golden Cycling Club, has spearheaded an initiative to raise funds for a new trail that would be named The Schacher in honour of the late local rider. The proposed trail would allow for better access to the trails of Mount 7. Currently, bikers must use the long grav-

el road that is well travelled by cars and trucks heading up to the Mount 7 launch site.

Harris’ inclusion in the field of the Singletrack 6 was a good opportunity to get the word out for the project. “(Competing in the race) gave a lot of exposure to the Schacher Trail Project and funds were being donated online,” Harris said.

Regionals in Kelowna a big success for the Golden Dolphins

Hannah LaRoy was among a group of Dolphins swimmers who brought back some hardware from the regionals. LaRoy took home a bronze medal in 100m breaststroke.

Photo Submitted Golden Dolphins Submitted The Golden Dolphins have started to wrap up the swim season with an amazing performance at Regionals, which was held in Kelowna this year. Regionals is a competition where only the top 3 in each division will qualify to attend Provincials taking place in Kamloops from August 15-17.

The Dolphins have seven individ-

ual qualifiers for Provincials including, Rochelle Bertrand, Josh Hiraoka, Zara Johnson, Emily King, Hannah LaRoy, Kaelan Malaka, and Hayley Plonka.

Our youngest swimmer Kaelan Malaka, qualified in three of his individual events placing second or third and a fifth place finish in 50 Free. Due to Kaelan’s high performance at this weekends meet he has been selected to swim Freestyle in the Okanagan’s Regional Relay at Provincials.

Zara Johnson had an amazing weekend getting best times and placing on the podium in all of her events. Her biggest achievement was in her 50 Freestyle, which qualified her to represent the Okanagan Region as a swimmer in the Regional Relay at Provincials.

Exceeding expectations was Josh Hiraoka, who made huge improvements in all his swims, with the biggest one being 50 Fly where he was only .05 seconds off the Regional Meet record set in 1997. Josh also qualified as the Freestyle leg of the Okanagan Regional Relay for Provincials. Emily King placed second in the Region for her 50 and 100 Fly qualifying her to compete in Provincials.

Making best times, Hannah LaRoy took off 4 seconds in the 200 IM getting her under the 2:50 mark and also took 3 seconds off in her best event, 100 Breaststroke and placed third in the Region with qualified her to swim in Provincials.

First time individual qualifier, Hayley Plonka, crushed her 200 IM time taking off 8 seconds, totaling a whopping 15 seconds off her previous seasons best time which she had been striving for since the beginning of the season. Rochelle Bertrand had a goal to get under the 31-second mark on her 50 free and finally broke it with .7 seconds off her time qualifying her for

Provincials.

Along with our individual qualifiers are also some Relay qualifiers, starting with a surprise from the Division 5 girls in the Medley relay, which included, Brendalee Dondaneau, Elyssia McClean, Anna Sutter, and Marika Sutter. Another Relay qualifier was the Division 4 boys in the Freestyle relay, which included, Kaelan Malaka, Thorin Malaka, Dallas MasonJones, and Enzo Soret. Qualifying for both Medley and Freestyle relay were the Division 6 girls, Zara Johnson, Emily King, Hannah LaRoy and Hayley Plonka.

All other swimmers who attended the Regional Meet this weekend did an amazing job and managed to achieve best times in many events and showed all their hard work from this season. Although their season will now be wrapping up, they all look forward to next year where they will attempt to achieve even greater goals.

Coaches Caprice Rosentreter and Hailey Kehler are extremely proud of all the swimmers this season and look forward to Provincials where they hope to see some great swims and bring home some medals to proudly represent Golden.

Both coaches would like to thank the parents and the community of Golden for their support and hard work allowing us to flourish and prosper this swim season.
