Town extends short-term contract to CSRD Rockets name Daniel Dahlin as next captain ..................................14

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Rec Centre Contract Golden Town Council has decided they would like to renew their operating contract with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for six months, with a 12 month termination clause for the Golden and District Recreation

Centre.

Staff have now been authorized to advise the CSRD that this is what the Town would like to see happen. The CSRD, who owns the building, had previously expressed a desire to extend the contract for six months, instead of the typical five-year term, so that they have time to review the operating model.

Council added the 12-month termination

clause, essentially making it an 18-month contract, so that the Manager of Recreation Services for the Town, Jordan Petrovics, could still continue with the season’s operations.

“This is part of a larger conversation, and before we enter into a longer term agreement, that conversation needs to happen,” said Coun.

Caleb Moss.

COTR program supports a growing need for healthcare workers Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Healthcare assistants are in high demand in our community, and the College of the Rockies is bringing in a program to train locals to fill that need.

“It is the program that will give students their entry level education into the healthcare field,” said Karen Cathcart, Golden Campus Manager for COTR. The program is a mainstay for the college, and runs in Cranbrook every year. It also rotates through the other campuses, and Golden is fortunate to be getting the program offered locally while the community is short of healthcare professionals.

“Interior Health has been a strong supporter of this program. And they have said we are in dire need in Golden for healthcare assistants. It’s an excellent starting position where you can make anywhere from $20 to $22 an hour,” said Cathcart.

The 32-week program starts on Oct. 6 with 20 weeks of classroom theory, followed by 12 weeks of practicum work in facilities like Durand Manor and Mountainview Assisted Living.

The only requirements for entrance into the program are Grade 10 Math and English, and 30

hours of working with the elderly. And although those 30 hours may seem like a lot, Cathcart says they are very easy to acquire, and can include any work with a student’s own family.

“I don’t want people to be deterred from that, and it’s easy to get those 30 hours,” she said.

The tuition also should not be a deterrent says Cathcart. At approximately $2,100, the program could get students into a well-paying career here in town.

“This is a very inexpensive way to get your first credential in the health field,” she said. “If you’re interested in getting into the health field, this is your way to do it.”

Enrolment for the program in Golden this semester is quite low, and the college is struggling to keep it. But given the popularity of it in the past, as well as the need for for workers with this specific education in the community, they are eager to make it work.

“We’re lucky to have this kind of programming in a small town like Golden. We want to keep running these types of programs here, but we need the support of this community. We need people to take these courses,” said Cathcart.

To hear more about the program, or discuss enrolment and student loan options, go into the campus on 9th Street South, or call 250-3445901.

Fassbender rejects arbitration call from BCTF, calls it an ‘empty effort’ Jeff Nagel Black Press Education Minister Peter Fassbender has rejected the B.C. Teachers Federation’s call Friday for binding arbitration to end the teachers strike.

He said the BCTF never gave the province a detailed written proposal and the union’s insistence on several preconditions would have tilted arbitration in its favour.

“It became very clear that it was another empty effort to give parents and teachers a false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the dispute,” Fassbender said Saturday.

BCTF president Jim Iker urged the province to agree to arbitration and leave class size and composition to be settled by the courts, promising the union would then hold a membership vote on suspending the strike and returning to work.

Fassbender said binding arbitration hands over control to a third party and risks an outcome that compromises B.C.’s balanced budget and unacceptably damages the province’s finances.

The last use of binding arbitration by the province in 2001 led to a surprise $400-million increase in fees for B.C. doctors that prompted the government to raise the provincial sales tax by 0.5 per cent.

Fassbender remained firm that the prov-

ince wants a negotiated settlement in line with the pay raises accepted by other government unions.

“The BCTF leadership is trying to avoid having the tough conversation with their members about what is realistic and achievable at the bargaining table.”

Iker reiterated the offer Sunday, calling it a “fair, workable, and pragmatic plan to end the strike, open schools, and get children back into classrooms.”

He said his only precondition is that the province drop its proposed E80 clause, which allows either side to dodge the effect of a future appeal court ruling against them on class size and special needs resources.

“Their attempt to bargain their way out of their two court losses has been the biggest obstacle to a settlement,” Iker said.

Prior to the BCTF offer, government negotiator Peter Cameron said arbitration was undesirable, not just because of the financial risk to government, but because it takes the decision out of the hands of both the government and the BCTF. “The parties end up not really having made the hard decisions and owning the outcome,” he said.

“And it involves a third party, who would likely be a labour relations person rather than an educator, making educational decisions.”

Delivering the Wrong Message A serious single vehicle collision occurred in the Shawnigan Lake Area on September 1st. Four 19 year olds were hurt, two critically, after the driver spilled an iced cappuccino on herself and subsequently lost control of her vehicle. She struck the right curb, overcorrected and crossed the highway, rolling down an embankment and coming to rest against some trees.

Thankfully there was no traffic coming in the other direction or any other road user present to collide with.

A sergeant from the Shawnigan Lake Detachment was quoted in an article by a Victoria Times Colonist reporter. “It’s unlikely charges will be laid.” “It was just an unfortunate incident that occurred.”“Everyone drinks coffee in their car.”

I’m used to the violator using what I like to call the Lemming Defence: “Everyone else does it!” but this has no place being parroted by the police when wrapping up a collision investigation. There is no difference between this and losing control because of other forms of distracted driving. Yes, I feel sorry for the driver and her passengers, but I also feel that in this case if there is sufficient evidence for charges they should be issued.

Our safety as a road user depends on everyone doing the right thing, and that is concentrating on the task of driving properly. This driver took a small liberty that ended up injuring 3 other innocent road users and had the potential of causing much worse.

“Everyone drinks coffee in their car”is not a justification for doing it, nor is it a justification for not taking action if action is due.

pressed to find a single world-class athlete who hasn’t had a great coach to stand behind him or her, no matter what sport he or she plays.

With that in mind, coaches in Golden will soon have a tremendous opportunity to hone their skills by taking part in a free National Coaching Certificate program.

The course will take place at the College of the Rockies from Sept. 25-28 (which falls during B.C. Coaches Week) and will run in association with Pacific Sport and the Canadian Sport Centre.

The course materi-

al means this will be a beneficial program for all local coaches.

“The reason this course is so important and has so much potential is that it’s sport generic,” explained Jordan Petrovics, manager of recreation services at the Town of Golden.

“It doesn’t really matter what sport people are interested in being involved with, there’s elements of this course that will help out all of our different sporting and user related groups at our facilities… every single different sporting group can take something positive away from (the program).”

The course is fully subsidized by Coaches B.C., which is why the Town is able to offer it for free.

Specific session topics will include nutrition, mental skills, planning practices and information on designing a basic sport program. Participants will receive their Level 1 coaching certificates at the completion of the course.

According to Petrovics, the course has been two years in the making through different initiatives that have showcased the Canadian Sport for Life program. Locals should keep an eye out for sports-ori-

ented camps for both kids and adults in the future.

Petrovics was one of the volunteers that helped bring Sport for Life to Golden.

“There’s a great group of volunteers here that’s starting to drive some neat initiatives,” he said.

Those who are interested in participating in the Coaches Certificate program must sign up in advance, as a limited number of spaces are available.

Reserve a spot by calling the Town’s recreation department at 250-344-2271 ext. 225 or by e-mailing rec. booking@ golden.ca.

Sobeys rebrands under IGA banner Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Shoppers may have noticed some subtle, yet clear changes at Sobeys over the past week. The changes are soon to be less subtle as Sobeys completely shifts its brand over to IGA in time for a Grand Opening celebration from Sept.

12-14. The move comes seven years after the local outlet made the switch to the Sobeys brand from IGA. According to store manager Cam Dawes, IGA is the brand that Sobeys has chosen to use for its smaller rural stores in order to improve the customer’s experience.

Under the Sobeys brand, items in the store’s weekly flyer would often be unavailable at the store in Golden.

“The (new) flyer will be more tailored to the store’s products and to the customers here in Golden. You’re not going to see, in the flyer, dozens of items that maybe they carry at a (larger) Sobeys store regularly. What’s in the flyer is what we have here.”

Other than signage and the flyers, chan-

ges at the store in Golden should be minimal, although Dawes expects some small adjustments to the store’s look and layout to be made over the next few months. The staff will remain the same, including Dawes, who has worked at the store for 21 years.

One adjustment that would have happened under either banner is the switch from Club Sobeys to Air Miles for the store’s loyalty program. Dawes believes the switch will give customers more opportunities to accumulate points and more options when redeeming those points for rewards.

“You can also use Air Miles cash in store here…there’s lots of options for the consumer, more options than what they would have had normally,” Dawes said.

Club Sobeys points can now be transferred to your Air Miles account at clubsobeys.com. Air Miles rewards cards will be accepted starting on Sept. 12.

As part of the store’s grand opening under the IGA banner, cake and snacks will be served on Sept. 12 and a free hot dog barbecue will take place on Sept. 13.

RCMP Report: Multiple reports of fraud Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Shell gas station on Highway 1. The bill was allegedly passed on by a female, but was only discovered to be counterfeit long after she left.

Fraud cases continue Two separate incidents of fraud were reported over the last couple of weeks. One local was defrauded out of $1900 after responding to a job ad on Kijiji. The ad asked for money up front in order to eventually receive more money in return.

Another incident left a local defrauded out of $9000 after they responded to a letter from the U.K. about receiving inheritance from a long lost relative. As was the case in the job ad, the victim was asked to send money in order to receive more money later.

Fraud cases usually follow this formula, and RCMP are once again reminding everyone to use caution with any e-mails or letters that seem even remotely suspicious.

Vandalism, theft at Lake O’Hara On Aug. 29, 17 vehicles were broken into and vandalized at the Lake O’Hara parking lot in Yoho National Park. The side windows were smashed on all of the vehicles and valuables were stolen from within. Police have no suspects at this time and anyone with any information is asked to contact the RCMP immediately.

Elk road accident No injuries were reported after a single vehicle failed to negotiate a right-hand turn on Elk Road on Aug. 29. The vehicle came to rest in a precarious position and the occupants remained inside for fear of shifting the weight of the car and causing it to go down an embankment. Golden Fire & Rescue attended the scene and managed to extract the vehicle’s occupants without further incident.

Counterfeit currency On Sept. 1, a counterfeit U.S. $50 bill was discovered at the

Motorcycle accident A motorcyclist and their passenger were unharmed after being cut off by a pickup truck on the ‘S’ curves section of Highway 1 east of Golden. Their bike sustained significant damage in the accident. The pickup truck did not stop and was not able to be identified.

Continued from page 1

The municipality has been seeking more equitable cost sharing with the CSRD for facilities such as the swimming pool for a long time now, and has a scheduled meeting with Area A Director Garry Habart in September to discuss it, among other things.

“This is costing us over $3,000 a day to operate, it’s a pretty big ticket item. And it’s also very central to our community…I haven’t got my head around what the real benefit is to the Town of Golden for the part we play in this.”

Rec Plex Board The Town of Golden has received notice from the Mount 7 Rec Plex Board of Directors that the group will not be signing a property management agreement with the municipality.

“Since the inception of this building we have taken pride in our volunteer support based management of the Rec Plex. Since our volunteer numbers are down it is much harder to offer these services through the current board,” read the letter from the board.

Dangerous driving ticket issued On Sept 1, RCMP detected a pair of speeding vehicles travelling east on Highway 1 through Rogers Pass. The vehicles, a Mustang and a pickup truck, were clocked at nearly 160 km/h by an officer, who then pursued them. The member lost sight of the vehicles but, on his way back to Golden, he discovered the Mustang rolled over on its side. The driver was charged with dangerous driving. They would not identify the driver of the pickup truck for police.

Provincial Gang Issues According to Sgt. Troy Durant of Golden/Field RCMP, the presence of gangs is not an issue in Golden, unlike many other towns in B.C., including Invermere.

“There are no organized gangs in Golden,” Sgt. Durant said. “We’re very aware of what goes on.”

Having spent time working in Prince George and Kelowna, Sgt. Durant has seen his fair share of gang activity throughout his career.

“With gangs they’re very prevalent in larger centres, and they’re always fighting to secure their businesses or territory,” he said.

Town sponsoring award, but not buying tickets

meeting with some options for council to discuss.

The board had not submitted any comments regarding the new contract, and no negotiations took place.

However in the letter it was stated that it was the board’s hope to, “actively participate in any Advisory Boards established in the future for the Rec Plex…We would like to extend out willingness to the Town of Golden to consider the directors for any advisory board positions.”

Community Excellence Awards In a close vote at the last regular meeting, Golden Town Council voted to continue sponsoring the Mayor’s Award of Excellence at this year’s Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce Community Excellence Awards.

This makes the Town of Golden a Silver Sponsor, for a cost of $500, which is what they have traditionally done in the past.

Coun. Keith Hern voted against the sponsorship, saying he views it as grant-in-aid, which the municipality no longer does. He was also confident that he would be able to find an individual in the community to carry the sponsorship, meaning the award would not disappear.

“I’ll put forward a motion to con-

tinue sponsoring this. It would be a little embarrassing if we didn’t support the Mayor’s Award and the Chamber,” said Coun. Mike Pecora.

The award was named by the Chamber of Commerce, as it was the award that was typically supported by the municipality.

Coun. Caleb Moss also voted against the sponsorship, saying he would rather support the event through the purchase of tickets for staff and council to attend.

After the vote was cast, Hern expressed his disagreement with Moss regarding the purchase of tickets.

“The staff are given a Christmas party, and I don’t think they need a fall party as well. So I would not support purchasing a table for staff or for council. If council wants to go, they can pay for tickets,” he said.

In the past the Town has purchased tables, although not every year, for staff members and councillors to attend in a social/political capacity.

Attendance has also varied, with very few seats being filled some years.

There was no vote cast to direct staff to purchase tickets, however Moss noted that if any staff member or councillor attends in a professional capacity, they would submit their receipts for reimbursement anyway.

Charitable Audits

Last week marked the end of my third year here in Golden.

In 2011, on Labour Day, I showed up here, not knowing a single person, with only what would fit in my car.

Having come here for a job, and no other reason, I never imagined that I would still be - I SURMISE here a year later, let

By Jessica Schwitek alone three. But to my surprise, I find myself feeling at home here.

So before the seriousness of the fall takes over, and what is sure to be an interesting election, I’m going to take a moment to talk about why I think Golden is a special place to live.

The sense of community in this town truly does go beyond that of anywhere else I’ve ever been.

You almost stop noticing after a while, but as I write stories every week about how the community pulls together to fundraise for a young family in need, or how volunteers put in countless hours to keep trails maintained, or keep annual events running year after year, I am continually amazed.

This small town hosts world-class musical entertainment, sporting events and community events, all made possible by the local residents, who are often donating their time, driving them forward.

This town is not held together by business interests or government obligations. It is held together by the people who choose to make it their home, and choose to make it the best that it can be.

I am now at the point where I can’t go anywhere in town without seeing someone I know (not that it mattered, everyone would always say hello anyway).

Not only that, but working in a downtown office space, it’s amazing how many people make a point to stop in for a chat.

Almost everyone who comes in on Wednesdays to pick up their papers also stays around to talk to the staff (none of us have lived here more than a few years).

I have had to leave town three times in August, and was sad to see that I missed something every time I drove away from town. Whether it’s a rafting excursion, a downtown music festival, or a trail race on the Moonrakers (taking place on September 20), any time you’re not here, you’re missing out on something.

It takes a long time to get settled anywhere new, but I’m glad I put in the time. Golden has been tremendously welcoming, and I’m lucky to have found this place.

Editor, The Canada Revenue Agency—which appears to have become an arm of the PMO—is currently auditing several Canadian charities, looking for suspect "political activity." The list of targets include Amnesty International Canada, the United Church of Canada's Kairos fund, the David Suzuki Foundation, PEN Canada (the Toronto-based freedom of speech organization), the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Canada Without Poverty, even Oxfam Canada.

All these groups have spoken out against the Harper government at one time or another.

(I assume the right-wing Fraser Institute, which wades frequently into politics, has been spared a visit from the agency.)

Agency officials informed Oxfam that "preventing poverty" was not an acceptable goal. Oxfam was warned: "Relieving poverty is charitable, but preventing it is not.

Preventing poverty could mean providing for a class of beneficiaries that are not poor." Oxfam Canada's executive director Robert Fox called the exchange he had with Canada Revenue Agency officials an "absurd conversation."

Charities shouldn't fear Harper's bluster. Diane Ber-

Appalling Attitude Editor, I feel compelled to write concerning the teachers' strike, and am appalled at the attitude of both the BCTF and the Liberal government.

The head of the BCTF can only be described as a total embarrassment for the teachers as he has shown absolutely no interest in the education of our children, and from the reported demands he is completely unrealistic.

The attitude of the Liberal government shows they are putting their heads in the sand and show no

tolin writes in Collective Publishing Company (Online Magazine for Innovative Individuals and Entrepreneurs): "Charities can dedicate 10 per cent of their total resources, including a volunteer's time, to supporting or opposing a government policy. It cannot, however, directly support a party or politician…the federal government, in its 2012 budget, decided to change the rules. The Feds have decided that they will be holding charities accountable to the 10 per cent rule. If a charitable organization exceeds the 10 per cent rule, then it can be sanctioned by having its tax receipting privilege suspended for one year."

There are about 100,000 charities in Canada. In 2013, of 880 charities audited, (an additional $8 million was budgeted for it) only one lost its license to act as a charity, and it wasn't even one of those "radical" environmental groups which the Harper government despise so much.

Was that good use of taxpayer money?

On July 25, NDP MP Paul Dewar (Official Opposition Critic for Foreign Affairs) said of the Harper government: "What I see here is more of a crass ideological campaign against some of our proudest and most effective organizations."

leadership in ensuring the public education system operates as it is supposed to.

It is my view that strikes and/or lockouts in the public education system should be prohibited and disputes of this nature settled by compulsive mediation through an established mediator. The education of our children should never be subjected to the greed of teachers or governments. In the present situation the BCTF should show some positive leadership by directing his members to return to work so that students will not be subject to irreparable harm. His failure to do so can only

be described as an embarrassment.

That term also applies to the Provincial Government who seems to willingly sit back and do nothing. What the government should be doing is seek assistance to resolve the issues either with the cooperation of the BCTF or otherwise.

This matter shows the BCTF should look for a new president and the people in British Columbia should ensure the Liberals are not again reelected in the next Provincial election.

B.C. argriculture minister recognizes farmer appreciation week British Columbians can choose from hundreds of local options to celebrate Farmers Appreciation Week, with enough flavours available to satisfy everyone’s tastes. A shoppingstroll through the cheerful and festive atmosphere of a farmers’ market can lead to baskets and bags full of fresh-from-the-farm fruits and veggies, meat products, baked goods, and plenty of artisan-made delicacies for an evening treat, the breakfast table or a local feast.

A trip to the market is also a social event, and a chance for neighbours and friends to meet and chat, kids to play and laugh, with often enough, a local band or entertainer performing in the background. This week, the atmosphere is going to be even more festive, with over 35 special events at farmers’ markets throughout the province.

Appreciating B.C. farmers can also be done at the grocery store, as more-and-more retailers respond to consumer demand for increased local foods, or, by going on a farm tour and meeting the people who grow and produce the food our communities depend on and enjoy.

Over this summer, I drove more than 6,500 kilometers around B.C. meeting with hardworking farmers and ranchers in every region of our province. I am incredibly proud of the passion, knowledge and optimism I encountered throughout B.C., and honoured to represent B.C. farmers everywhere I go.

Buying local food results in fresh and trusted meals on your table, and also supports more than 61,000 B.C. jobs, our food security, and the diverse and strong communities we live in.

The B.C. government will continue to work with farmers and producers to help grow their businesses and so future generations enjoy a wide range of foods from B.C. farms.

I urge everyone to connect with local food producers during Farmers Appreciation Week and enjoy high-quality and great-tasting B.C. foods throughout the year.

MLA Report: Macdonald stands behind teachers during strike As a former teacher and principal, the first week of September has always involved going back to school.

As your MLA, I have often chosen my first September MLA report to talk about the value of public education because I believe strongly that an accessible, fullyfunded public education system is one of the most important things a government must - Norm Macdonald - provide for its citizens. It is the MLA Columbia River-Revelstoke most valuable gift we can give to all of our children.

But this September, we are not celebrating a return to the classroom, and I believe that Premier Clark is 100% to blame.

I want to declare my unequivocal support of our teachers. There is a right side to this dispute, and a

wrong side. Teachers and parents are on the right side. The BC Liberals clearly do not believe in public education, and they are doing everything they can to harm our system.

Public education offers opportunities to all and creates social cohesion. Private schools are by their very nature exclusive, and that exclusivity is not based on talent or ability. It is exclusion based on family wealth, religion and/or gender.

Premier Clark’s support for private schools over public schools is demonstrated very clearly by the fact that she uses taxpayers’ money to pay BC Liberal MLA Marc Dalton $15,000 a year to promote private schools. The BC Liberals also use taxpayers’ money to fund private schools to the tune of $250 million a year.

Premier Clark’s assault on the public education system began in 2002 when she was the Minister of Education under Gordon Campbell. Under her watch, the BC Liberals tore up the teachers’ contract. Clark got rid of the provisions that protected your children’s learning conditions, class size and composition.

YOU’RE INVITED

cbt.org 1.800.505.8998

BC’s Supreme Court has twice declared that the BC Liberals’ removal of class size and composition from the teachers’ contract was unconstitutional. The courts said that what Clark and the BC Liberals did to teachers was illegal.

Now Premier Clark wants teachers to agree at the bargaining table on an escape clause that will allow the government to ignore the ruling of the courts.

This demand is what is keeping your children out of school.

In order to return to the classroom, teachers will have to sanction the government’s illegal action against them. They will have to sign away their rights that have been confirmed twice by the Supreme Court. And your children would lose any possibility of having the government reinvest in properly supported learning conditions in their classroom.

Teachers are fighting for the survival of properly funded public education. For me, there is no grey area. I am 100% in support of BC’s teachers. I support quality public education for all of BC’s children.

Cops for Kids riders in Golden for a barbecue on Sept. 11 Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Cops for Kids riders, including Golden’s own Cst. Amber Brunner, will be in Golden on Sept. 11.

From fighting crime, to fundraising and training for a marathon of a bike ride – it’s all in a day’s work for local RCMP Cst. Amber Brunner.

For the second year in a row, Brunner has joined the 2014 Thomas Alan Budd Foundation Cops for Kids Ride Team, and will leave Kelowna on Friday Sept. 5 on a 10-day, 1,000km cycling journey across South Eastern British Columbia.

The annual Cops for Kids Ride raises funds and awareness for children in medical, physical and traumatic crisis in our region, for the funding of medical equipment, therapies, travel to Children’s Hospital, learning and mobility aids. Since 2001, Cops for Kids have raised over $2.7 million in support of local children. Many children in Golden have benefited from these funds.

During the 10 day ride, Cops for Kids riders will cycle into 18 different communities across South Eastern British Columbia, where they will have the

Star Photo opportunity to meet many of the children who benefit from this event.

Meeting these Little Ambassadors will remind each rider of the challenges that they face each day, and it will keep them focused to help better the lives of these children.

“This is my second year participating in the ride,” said Brunner.

“This ride is such a tremen-

dous challenge for all of us riders, but the reward of meeting the children who benefit from our fundraising is a feeling that can’t be matched.”

As a part of the 2014 Cops for Kids Ride, the team will be arriving in Golden on Thursday Sept. 11 at approximately 1:30 p.m. to Sobeys (IGA) where they will be doing some community presentations to local children, meet with local

media and dignitaries.

Cops for Kids provide assistance directly to children who need it most from our region.

Due to the overwhelming number of grant requests, they are unable to meet the demands and have established a wait list of children needing essential medical equipment, specialized therapies, and medical travel.

Cops for Kids have the unique

opportunity to offer donors and sponsors the most efficient and effective way to make an immediate difference in the life of a child.

They’re anticipating a funding shortfall this year, so donations are appreciated more than ever.

Columbia Basin Trust seeking your on the organzation’s future CBT Submitted Columbia Basin Trust is asking residents where it should focus its efforts to best support residents and communities in the Columbia Basin now, and into the future.

The Trust is kicking off a year-long Basin-wide public engagement process at a community workshop in Golden on September 18. Called “Our Trust, Our Future”, the Trust is connecting with residents to find out what’s important to them and building on the input they may have provided in the past.

“We’ll be connecting with Basin residents to reflect and celebrate our collective accomplishments over the past 20 years, and also to imagine what the next 20 might look like,” said Greg Deck, Columbia Basin Trust Board Chair. “In the next three to five years the Trust’s revenues are expected to double. As our delivery of benefits to the region grows, it’s important that residents continue to provide guidance in charting that future.”

The Trust will be reaching out in various ways across

the Basin. Expect to find the Trust hosting drop-in community workshops, presenting at community and agency meetings or staffing a booth in a public space.

Residents can also send comments by mail or provide their thoughts online. Everyone who participates will have a chance to win $1,000 to donate to a local nonprofit of their choice.

“Some residents have already provided input to us in the past—now we want you to expand on those ideas,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “What’s most important to your community?

What should we do more of? What are your ideas? We hope you will be part of this conversation and help us shape how we support your efforts now, and into the future.”

For more information about the process and to have your say in person or online, visit ourtrustourfuture. cbt.org.

Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

The Trust specifically looking for input on: • We are asking communities where they are focusing their efforts, where they need support, what is most important to them in their community and for their ideas about working together now and in the future.

• This input will help us determine where to focus our efforts and how we can continue to support communities now and into the future.

• The Trust is not soliciting input or considering changes to foundational documents such as the Columbia Basin Trust Act, or operational policies and procedures governing the Trust’s investment activities.

The community workshop on Sept. 18 is taking place at the Golden Seniors Centre from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 4 to 8 p.m.

This community engagement is the first phase of a year-long process to renew the Trust’s strategic priorities and how they work with communities.

If you miss the community workshop, there will be other opportunities, including online, to have your say.

Help shape our role in the Basin. Together we can find the best ways to support people and communities now and into the future.

You could win $1,000 to donate to a local non-profit group of your choice.

Jack and Jessie Cross found love in Golden and married in 1914 Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cross: Jessie Rowan arrived in Golden on September 19, 1913, and started to work at “The Kootenay Hotel” (then called “The Bucket of Blood”).

She looked - Turning Back the Pages after the rooms,

By Colleen Palumbo waited tables, etc., for thirty dollars a month with no set hours. The dining room opened at seven.

It was a change after doing office work in Glasgow, Scotland, for nine years where she went to work by streetcar and walked every day from Maryhill (eight miles each way on her own time). She was thrilled with all her new surroundings, and thought the mountains were wonderful.

Her room looked over the old shooting gallery and buttermilk stand where they had an old gramophone, with horn, and played cylindrical records. The favorite tune was “Pop Goes the Weasel.” The concession was run by “Blackie” Depratto.

There was a tame bear chained up in a pen next to the milk stand, and on Saturday nights there were lots of lumberjacks around teasing it. It became quite cranky and had to be shot by Wm. Wenman Jr. She spent my first Christmas at Sam McBeath’s farm in Nicholson, along with George Langlands Sr; Douglas McBeath Sr; and her aunt, Miss K. Rowan (who later

became Mrs. Geo. Langlands Sr.). In winter Doug McBeath Sr. drove a team of horses and sleigh with bells over the frozen sloughs. They all sang songs as we drove along. Just before reaching the farm, she saw her first coyote in a trap beside a muskrat house, and Geo. Langlands Sr. got out and killed it with a club.

She was dressed in a fur coat and cap and moccasins loaned by Mr. Dave Bowes (her boss) for the cold trip.

She had her first fishing trip up the river in 1914, four miles south of Golden at McDermot’s Creek with Geo. Langlands Sr. They hired a cutter and a horse (called Babe) from Arthur Hamilton’s barn. He cut a hole in the ice and they started fishing and caught quite a few char before leaving for home.

Kytami to play at the Golden Taps

Kytami will be playing at the Golden Taps on Sept. 19.

Photo Submitted Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The violin might rightfully conjure up images of classic orchestral music, but Kytami is routinely giving her audiences a whole new perspective on the stringed instrument.

Kytami has been called a ‘music revolutionary’ by Whats Up Magazine for the way she uses the violin to perform her mix of electronic house music.

“It’s a lot more common now than when I first started…I definitely still get people saying ‘I’ve never seen anything like that’,” she said.

Kytami began playing the violin when she

was just a toddler and continued playing classical music up until her teenage years. For her, that’s when classical music began to lose its appeal.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do with music, if anything, so I quit…classical music was very rigid and not very experimental…it’s super restrictive,” she said.

She took up the violin again a few years later after being invited to participate in jam sessions with her friends. Kytami says that playing the violin was not at all like riding a bike, and it took her a while for her skills to fully return.

Now a solo artist, Kytami was a long time member of Dehli to Dublin before their clashing styles and visionary differences led her to break away from the successful band. The decision to go solo was not an easy one or without its risks, but Kytami was validated in her decision when she won the an award for electronic/dance recording of the year at the 2013 Western Canadian Music Awards for her self-titled solo debut.

“I didn’t know if I was going to have any kind of success at all, it was really scary. When (I won that award) it was definitely like a goal attained, it was a huge event for me and reassured me that I had something that people were recognizing,” she recalled.

While there are certain aspects that Kytami misses about being in a band, there is plenty to love about being a solo artist too.

“There is something really special about playing in a band where you’re all pulling together toward the same goal, but on the other side of that is that I really like being in control of my own art,” she said.

After her current tour, which will include a show at The Golden Taps on Sept. 19, Kytami plans to hunker down in the studio in order to get a follow up album ready for an early 2015 release.

“I hope (my new album) is better and there’s more confidence in it,” she said. “I hope it’s a bit more sophisticated.”

Golden’s Dahlin named Rockets captain in his final KIJHL season Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar. net

Local Daniel Dahlin is the most experienced Rocket on the blueline making him a natural fit as the team’s next captain.

Joel Tansey/Star Photo

For local product Daniel Dahlin, being named the captain of the Golden Rockets is, understandably, a tremendous honour.

“It hasn’t really sunk in yet…it’s kind of like the thing you dream about watching (the Rockets),” he said.

An alternate captain last year, Dahlin was the obvious choice to take over from Michael Anderson for his solid play and leadership skills.

“The biggest thing I’ll say about Daniel is that he’s such a reliable person. When I tell him something needs to get done, it gets done. He’s a very reliable, responsible kid and he isn’t afraid to step up in the dressing room and say things,” said Rockets coach Ty Davidson.

The big stay-athome defence man made his Rockets debut in 2011 and was a mainstay on the Rockets’ blue

line last season, posting 4 goals and 12 assists for 16 points to go along with 41 penalty minutes.

At 6’4”, Dahlin will be expected to provide a solid, physical brand of hockey for a team that has lost a good portion of its defencemen from a year ago.

Dahlin played under two different captains last season. Brett deFrias wore the ‘C’ up until his trade to Kamloops, which is when Anderson took over.

Dahlin spent much of the season paired with Anderson on the blue line and likens his leadership style to his former

partner.

“I think I’ll be similar to Anderson. He was a lot more serious and strict with the guys,” Dahlin said.

During exhibition action, Dahlin has been paired up with soon-to-be 16-year old Alex Astasiewicz.

The Everett Silvertips draft pick promises to be one of the most exciting additions to the Rockets this season, and he’ll have the benefit of learning beside the club’s captain.

“He’s a really good player and really easy to play with. He’s smart on the ice so it makes it easy (for me),” he said.

Following Tuesday’s exhibition opener, Dahlin admitted there was some rust to shake off, not surprising considering how little skating he is able to do over the offseason. The rust will be gone soon enough, and Dahlin didn’t mince words when discussing his goals for this season, his final one in the KIJHL. “Hopefully we’ll have a nice deep playoff run and a championship would be nice,” he said. “We’ll see what we got but I think we can do it, we have a good group.”

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: With quick family, school, and police intervention, a youth can leave the gang without any serious consequences.

The key is a coordinated and collaborative intervention as soon as some of the warning signs appear. Better yet, everyone needs to work together to prevent youth and young adults from joining gangs.

Rockets gear up for regular season after difficult pre-season to be 16-year old moved the puck well and showed great instincts when joining the rush, but also had a couple of costly giveaways. One of his first period turnovers lead directly to a Grizzlies goal.

“He’s trying to add things to his repertoire and he’s trying to do things... and it’s his first game in the KIJHL and maybe he’s trying to do a little too much because he’s trying to impress,” said head coach Ty Davidson.

After the 1-0 marker, it was all Grizzlies, as they scored three times in the first,

once in the second and added another two in the third for a 6-1 final score.

Tuesday also marked the Rockets debut for goaltender Mitchell Privett. Overall, it was an uneven start for the California native, but he was left out to dry on more than one occasion by the team in front of him, most of whom are still just learning Davidson’s defensive system. The Grizzlies registed just 17 shots on net, but the majority of them were dangerous.

“I think he would definitely agree he wants the first

one back, it kind of squeaked through him,” Davidson said.

“But all the other ones, they were such glaring mistakes that I don’t know if he had much of a chance to make the saves.”

Privett and backup Chase Rainville have matched up fairly evenly thus far, but Davidson plans to give Privett the chance to run with the starting job.

“Privett has a much more expansive resume and has played at higher levels so he’s going to be the guy,” Davidson said.

Rockets forward Ian Desrosier weighs his options during second period action against the Revelstoke Grizzlies last Tuesday.

A 6-1 exhibition loss to the Revelstoke Grizzlies wasn’t an ideal start for the Golden Rockets, and neither were the club’s following two games, a 5-5 tie in a rematch with the

Grizzlies and an 8-4 defeat at the hands of the Fernie Ghostirders. Then again, the team rolled through last year’s exhibition schedule before stumbling badly when the games started to count, so perhaps it would be a mistake to look too far into

the club’s pre-season performance.

The opener last Tuesday got off to a solid start for the home team when Travis Kelley buried a loose puck around the Grizzlies’ crease.

Rookie defenceman Alex Astasiewicz registered the lone assist on the goal

that proved to be the Rockets’ only marker on the night. In addition to the assist, Astasiewicz made his presence felt throughout the game, but unfortunately it came at both ends of the spectrum. Playing alongside captain Daniel Dahlin, the soon

5 Peaks hosting trail run in Golden

Goldenites will have a chance to participate in 5 Peaks’ trail run, scheduled for Sept. 20.

Photo Submitted Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net With the chief operating officer living in town, and a large local trail network, it makes sense that 5 Peaks Trail Running Series has decided to schedule an event in Golden.

Local Magi Scallion and 5 Peaks COO helped bring Golden its first 5 Peaks run, which will take place on the trails around Cedar Lake on Sept. 20.

A range of events will be offered for runners of all ages and abilities, including a free 1km event for families, a 3km race designed for kids, as well as 5, 10 and 20km courses.

“Most trail races don’t have distances as short as 5km but we do just to make it more accessible for the beginner runners. We’re

also very big on family and children participating,” Scallion said.

The race in Golden is part of a trail running series across the Kootenays. Events have been held in Invermere, Kimberley, Revelstoke and Fernie through the summer, with Golden’s race being the final event of the season.

“It’s a great place to host an event, it’s not about just wanting to have a race in my own backyard kind of thing,” Scallion said.

The appeal of trail running is pretty obvious.

“I think anyone that lives in Golden can relate very well to the appeal of trail running,” Scallion said. “It’s just being out in nature, having that dirt beneath your feet, seeing the squirrels and the birds and listening to the pure sounds of nature. That’s why I love trail running and I think that’s one of the appeals of our event.”

While some small adjustments to the courses might still be made, Scallion says they are mostly finalized. When deciding on a course layout, it’s important to keep a few factors in mind.

“I wanted something fun with good running and I wanted the 20k to incorporate the Canyon Creek trail because it’s so beautiful,” Scallion said. “And once you have good trails, it’s more about making it so that people don’t get lost.”

Following the race, there will be food and refreshments for all participants and because Golden is the final stop of the race series, there will be an abundance of prizes to give away.

After eight years of taking the reins on Stompdown, Oatway says it is still all about the kids.

“I think the kids get really stoked to have one day where they can be better than their buddy. When

I was a kid that’s all I cared about, we know who’s better but we needed to see who was better under pressure,” he said.

“I don’t think people realize how much use the skatepark gets, and it’s nice to bring some attention to it. The Town puts money into it, and it’s really great to see it get used as much as it is.

It’s a really important thing in our town.”

The fun starts at 2 p.m., and will run to about 8 p.m. depending on the number of participants.

Registration starts at noon on the same day. Everyone is welcome to come out and participate, but helmets are mandatory.

And if anyone would like to donate anything to the silent auction, Oatway can be contacted at info@oatwayproductions.com.

Privett to open as starter Continued from page 15 “It’s no different than in the NHL where a rookie might come in and have a great camp, but Carey Price is still going to be the starting goalie.”

The defensive performance in the rematch with Revelstoke and the exhibition finale against Fernie still wasn’t what Davidson hoped to see out of his team, but the offence did wake up with nine goals in two games. The mini-scoring binge was sparked by the return of Braeden Allkins, who lead the team with 22 goals in 52 games a season ago.

In addition to the returning Allkins, the Rockets will also be welcoming former Grizzly defenceman Tre Mason into their lineup. Mason led Revelstoke in scoring last season from the blue line and should provide the club with a legitimate power play quarterback going forward. Dustin Watt will be moved to another club in a corresponding move.

The Rockets will kick off their season with a three game road trip through Princeton, Kelowna and Armstrong before returning to Golden for their home opener on Sept. 18 against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Museum is bringing some old fashioned fun to town this fall with the revival of their traditional scavenger hunt.

“We did it years ago. It was successful and a lot of fun,” said Colleen Palumbo, executive director of the Golden Museum.

Teams can sign up for the event, and hunt down the items on the list. Although the list will contain roughly 100 items, it’s unlikely any team will be able to get them all.

“It’s possible to get them all, I know that all these items are available in town. But it’s very unlikely, especially during the time limit,” said Palumbo. “Each item will be assigned a point value, and we’ll add up all the teams’ points to determine a winner.”

Items on the list could include things like a garden pink flamingo, or a tube of Preparation H. Teams are allowed to purchase these items if they wish, but the museum is encouraging people to spend as little money as possible, and instead find other ways of acquiring the items.

“Most of these things you should be able to talk people out of,” said Palumbo. Of course she does not encourage stealing, but in the past people have either been able to barter, or take items on the promise that they would be returned.

Once a team has gotten all their items, or has run out of time, just bring everything back to the museum to be tallied. There will be a cash barbecue, and some prizes for the winners.

The museum is asking for teams of four to sign up, however any singles who are interested in participating can contact Palumbo, and she will do her best to match up teams.

“We think this will be a lot of fun, and hopefully we get a lot of teams out participating,” said Palumbo.

The scavenger hunt takes place on Saturday Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. to noon. Meet at the museum at 9:30 a.m. (Must preregister teams prior to 9:30 a.m. on the day). The cost is $40 per team, and all proceeds will go to the museum. For more information, or to inquire about finding a team, contact Palumbo at museum.golden@gmail.com.

The Golden Women’s Resource Centre is hosting the annual Take Back the Night march on Sept. 26.

Star Photo the fall Girlz Group program titled: Exploring Feminism and Women’s History in Golden, BC for girls in Grades 5, 6 and 7 and learn more about a new initiative through the CCSR titled Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM).

A Volunteer Engagement Session and Open House is planned for September 15 from 4pm-6pm at the GWRC for anyone interested in volunteering for events such as TBTN and the Starlight Soiree. Volunteer opportunities also include front desk and administrative work, library tasks, assistance with the Good Karma Exchange and much, much more.

TBTN will be held on September 26 at 6pm in the Spirit Square.

The GWRC would like to invite all community members of all ages, races, sexes, cultures and sexual orientation to gather in the Spirit Square and to walk and take back the night together.

This event raises awareness of the fear vulnerable people feel when walking alone at night and fosters an environment for those who feel vulnerable or have ever felt vulnerable to walk together in solidarity and share their experiences with each other.

This event will include speeches, readings and performances by local community members. Volunteers are most welcome and appreci-

ated to assist. If you are interested in performing or reading a piece of work please offer at the GWRC. Join Stopping the Violence and Children Who Witness Abuse Counsellor Cheryl Verheyden from the Golden Family Centre (GFC) at the GWRC for a flag making workshop on September 18th from 1pm- 3pm.

Flags will be hung for viewing on the path for TBTN. Flag making is an opportunity for those most vulnerable to use words to share your experiences and feelings about walking at night. The opportunity can also be used to celebrate the unity that happens among community members during the event.

Fall Girlz Group with the theme Exploring Feminism and Women’s History in Golden, BC welcomes girls in grades 5 to 7 to the GWRC for a variety of activities and discussions that focus on equality, safety issues, and prevention.

Participants will look at positive female role models in and outside of our community and honour them with a scrapbooking page. Girls will learn about Women’s History Month (October) and its importance.

The Girlz Group Program works to build positive self-esteem and confidence in young women by providing them with a safe place to be themselves and speak their minds

while receiving honest answers to questions and concerns surrounding issues they are experiencing.

Grade 5s will meet on Thursdays starting September 25, Grade 6/7s will meet on Wednesdays starting September 25, the time for both days is from 3:30pm-5pm. The program will run weekly until October 23.

Please register at the GWRC, beside Brent’s Board Shop on 9 Avenue North during business hours from September 15-19. Contact Sarah or Linley, 250-344-5317 for more information.

The CCSR Team is pleased to introduce to our community the Coaching Boys into Men (CBIM) program. The CCSR Team is looking for male leaders and coaches to implement this program into teams and groups for male youth.

Male coaches and role models will work with male youth on preventing violence in relationships and sexual assault and learn about healthy relationships and respectful behaviour.

Male role models and coaches are trained, supported and provided with materials that help them to lead discussions on respectful behaviour and utilizes teachable moments when disrespectful attitudes arise.

Over the course of a season, CBIM coaches lead their players through brief weekly activities that address

themes such as personal responsibility, respectful behaviour, and relationship abuse. Teams are encouraged to involve fans, parents, faculty, other students, and school administrators in support of CBIM’s respect message.

Members of the CCSR Team will support male coaches to implement the activities and provide information to participants on where they can access further support when necessary.

The GWRC supports the empowerment of women locally and globally by building women’s individual capacity, acting as a catalyst for change and leading the way to a non-violent, socially just, healthy and diverse society.

The CCSR Team is a collaboration among local agencies working together to generate safety in relationships through support, education, prevention and coordinated intervention for all members of Golden and Area A with goals to create a safe community for all to live.

The CCSR Team comes together with a Panel of Women and community supporters as part of an overall project that serves those who are most vulnerable to relationship violence and sexual assault and works to increase victim safety and offender accountability through various activities, programs and projects.

Weekly Angel Card Forecast: Claircognizance

by Kamia Shepherd ATP* Special to the Golden Star Sometimes, before a card is even turned over, the image on the back has a message that wishes to come forward. As I shuffle through the deck of cards, I am struck by the beautiful image on the back of the card of an angel standing atop a mountain with a globe of light in one hand a scepter in the other. In this manner, a brilliant gold light, like the full rays of the sun illuminate the entirety of the card. The weeks message is both Illumination as well as Inspiration. As I flip over the card I am delighted to see, that the central image is one and the same from that on the back.

Archangel Uriel is an angelic presence that brings us - Angel Card Forecast all the gifts of Illumination and Inspiration. This can

By Kamia Shepherd also be in the form of clear thoughts, spontaneous ideas, and images, or problem solving that manifests after sleep or mediation. To connect with this ‘claircogniziance,’ seek out a place, whether in our home or garden, or out in the mountains, a beloved trail, water source or viewpoint.

Meditation can be movement through nature that brings about a stillness in our minds and allows for illumination, inspiration and ideas that support our life purpose or for the immediate challenges we are seeking navigational tools. What are the spontaneous thoughts that come during this time? Allowing them to stay at the forefront of our consciousness instead of having the ego dismiss them, can often allow for the ‘answers’ we have been seeking.

We each possess the ability to connect with the divine and our own inner wisdom. May our week bring us the spontaneous inspiration we most need at this time. May the golden light of the sun like the soft glow of Archangel Uriel bring illumination.

With light, Kamia compassionangelcardreading.com Kamia Shepherd Compassion on facebook

Lyall Mervin Campbell January 5 1933 September 3 2014

After a brief illness, Lyall passed away peacefully at the Golden Hospital.

He is survived by his wife Jackie, four children, Mark, Murray, Michelle, Melinda and their families, including eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren, nieces and nephews and friends.

Family meant the world to Lyall, and to him family wasn’t only defined by blood. If he liked you and you never wronged him, you were family. If you were in need, he was always willing to lend a hand or advice.

Lyall was born in Teulon Manitoba to Cecil and Agnes Campbell. He travelled to New Zealand in his early twenties for work in the logging industry. He had many great memories of that time and many stories of hunting with his Maori friends.

After returning to Manitoba for a few years, Lyall moved his family to Golden where he worked in the logging industry and for Parks Canada, retiring in 1985.

Lyall enjoyed many things in life. He valued hard work above all. He could run almost any piece of equipment, fix most things and build almost anything he set his mind too. He was a fair carpenter and an accomplished welder. The Rocking Horse Ranch was his home and he was proud of it and his family who helped build it.

Lyall also loved hunting and he had a vast knowledge of firearms. He enjoyed the outdoors and he loved horses.

As per Lyall’s wishes, there will be no funeral. A celebration of life will be held on the ranch at a later date.

To those who so desire, donations may be made to Dying with Dignity, www.dying withdignity.ca or a donation to a charity of your choice.

“To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die.”

Friedrich “Fred” Huss July 4, 1941 August 27, 2014

Friedrich Huss passed away peacefully at the Golden and District General Hospital on Wednesday, August 27th, 2014 at the age of 73 years. A Celebration of Life Gathering was held at the Rocky Mountain Alliance Church on Saturday, September 6th, 2014. In lieu of Àowers, memorial donations may be made to the Golden & District General Hospital, in memory of Fred.

Fred was born in Meissen, Germany on July 4th, 1941 and resided there until age 20. He came to Canada in 1961 and attended the University of British Columbia.

Upon his graduation as an Engineer Geologist he took a job with a Canadian Company, that landed him in Uranium City, Saskatchewan. This Canadian company was involved in mining exploration in Latin America, which opened other employment opportunities for Fred.

His employment saw him take up residence in different countries in South America. He met Aida Villacis in Quito, Ecuador in 1966 and married her in 1969. Fred and Aida made their home in Ecuador for the next 12 years. During this time Fred was employed with the United 1ations in the mining exploration ¿eld. Fred, Aida and their two sons, Juan and Frank immigrated to Canada in 1981. Fred started employment with another Canadian company- Mountain Minerals, which saw them take up residence in Lethbridge, Alberta for the next 14 years. Fred and Aida moved to Golden in 1995.

Fred managed the barite mines at Brisco and Parson as well as the silica mine and plant near Golden until he retired in 2006. Fred had a great love for classical music and for the outdoors - he enjoyed spending long hours of hiking as well as gardening.

Fred was predeceased by his mother and father and two brothers. He is survived by his wife Aida of 45 years; his sister Helga; his sons Juan (Mardelle) and Frank (Lorelei); his grandchildren Landon, Jesse and Alexa.

Mi querido compañero y amado esposo ha muerto.

Dios en su misericordia tomo a mi esposo en sus brazos. Ahora Fred esta gozando de la presencia y el gran amor de Dios. Segura estoy que le voy ha ver en el cielo otra vez. El Señor en su santa palabra nos promete no dejarnos solas ha sus hijas. Estoy fuerte y en paz. Me encuentro rodeada de mis queridos hijos y familia.
