Town’s tower policy, re-zoning on council agenda Jita’s Cafe hosts prairie hip hop artist ..................................8

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net At its July 22 meeting, Town Council directed Phil Armstrong, manager of development services, to draft a policy regarding communications towers for 2016 in order to provide for greater notification with future tower developments.

The policy could also examine certain design

guidelines.

The development of the policy comes after some concern was raised by local Inge Clapperton at council’s May 19 meeting regarding potential health risks of cell towers when they are placed in close proximity to residential areas.

Mayor Ron Oszust and Coun. Caleb Moss commended Clapperton for championing this

The proposal to draft a communications tower policy was approved unanimously, despite some concern from Coun. Bruce Fairley regarding the amount of time it would take away from staff.

Reporter Joel Tansey (second from left) with the group of brave climbers who conquered the Ascension via ferrata tour at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

Photo Submitted/Katie King that sways with the movement of its users.

I pause just long enough to take it all in…before hurrying to the other side to wait for the rest of the party from the comfort of stable ground.

From there we begin the ascent, working our way both upwards and across the north face of T1.

The views are extraordinary and my comfort level increases with every step.

Even skiers and bikers who know this terrain front and back will appreciate the scenery from the via ferrata as it offers a wholly unique perspective on the rest of the mountain, one that simply wasn’t possible before its installation.

Eventually we reach

a crossroads where the shorter Discovery tour branches off from the Ascension route. Discovery heads straight up from that point, which is approximately right below the T1 peak, before crossing over and concluding at a sub peak.

The route I’m on, however, takes us further over before ascending to the ridge line for the eventual push to the summit.

Shortly after the crossroads comes the most fear-inducing portion of the three hour journey, the so-called “Monkey Bridge”.

The “bridge” is in fact just a single, inch wide cable that spans a portion of exceptionally exposed terrain, with only an eye-level

cable to help you maintain your balance. The exposure from this point is extreme, a drop of a couple hundred feet by my best guess at minimum.

With my first step onto the cable, I can feel the leg shakes starting up. I can nearly hear the laughter from those campers all those years ago. Slowly, one step at a time, I “tight-rope” across the span, looking down occasionally because I simply can’t resist.

It proved to be both the most thrilling part of the trip, and the most terrifying.

I loved it.

The rest of the journey flies by as we climb towards the top ridge line and gain the rest of our 106 metres of total vertical on

the way to the summit, where we finally unhook from the system and are free to roam around and take photos, before beginning the descent back to Eagle’s Eye. Indeed, this very unique Kicking Horse offering - just a handful exist in Canada is another feather in the cap for the resort, which is continually expanding its summer products and becoming a diverse destination for locals and tourists alike.

It’s an intensely satisfying, euphoric feeling to have reached the top and conquered a few fears along the way, while also ridding myself of a certain nickname from what now feels like a lifetime ago.

Fee lowered for re-zoning application

Continued from page 1 “Before I can support this resolution I need to know how much staff time is going to be devoted to this,” Coun. Fairley said, citing other tasks for development services that should take priority. He also questioned the validity of any health concerns with regards to cell towers, citing the American Cancer Society’s website which says that there is “very little evidence” to support the idea that cell towers pose a cancer risk.

Nevertheless, Coun. Fairley voted in favour of the motion after he was reassured by Armstrong that the policy should take just eight hours to complete and that the policy was expressly moved to 2016 because of other, more pressing priorities.

New dance studio location re-zoned The Golden branch of Stages School of Dance is moving to a building on 10th Ave. N after its previous downtown location was sold to new owners.

The new location had been zoned as lightindustrial, requiring a zoning amendment. In order to accommodate the school’s plan to begin classes in September, staff recommended that the public hearing requirement for zoning changes be waived.

Both the owner of the property and the dance studio requested that re-zoning fees be waived as well, due to the Town’s ongoing examination into re-zoning for the area.

Coun. Moss stated his concern about removing the public consultation process.

“Local government is often accused of not providing the public with enough opportunities for input.

“I say this in particular because the owner of the building is one of the drum beaters of that exact sentiment. If it was perhaps a neighbour of his, he’d be very upset that he didn’t have an opportunity to provide public input.”

Coun. Moss conceded, however, that this was an appropriate time to waive public consultation in order to allow the studio to be prepared for the fall. He did have issues with waiving the fee for rezoning, which is used to cover costs of not only the public hearing, but also the costs of staff time and advertising.

Council elected to approve the re-zoning amendment and waive the public consultation.

They declined to eliminate the re-zoning fee, but did elect to reduce the fee due to the elimination of the public hearing.

Volunteers brave rain to prevent invasive species A little rain didn’t deter volunteers from getting out and helping Wildsight Golden prevent the spread of invasive plant species. They met at Reflection Lake on Saturday July 25 to remove plant species that are harmful to the local ecosystem such as spotted knapweed and common tansy. This is the second Wildsight sponsored Community Weed Pull this season. The first one in June targeted the banks of the Kicking Horse River.

Volunteers help families grieve loss Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Death is a part of life, yet it is part of the human experience that so few of us are able to wrap our heads around.

That is why it is so important, when faced with the death of yourself or a loved one, that there are organizations like the Golden Hospice Society to help you through it.

“There’s such a fear of death, and a level of denial that people go through,” said Julia Cundliffe, one of the founding members of the society.

“It’s a tough process for people, and that’s what we try to help them with.”

The society was founded in the early ‘90s, and still has the same strong core of volunteers keeping it going. Some people might think she’s crazy surrounding herself by so much heartache and grief, but Cundliffe says that she gets back just as much as she gives.

“It is such an extremely rewarding experience,” she said. “You feel so good knowing you helped a family through such a difficult time.”

The hospice society’s purpose is to help the patient and the families cope with the difficult time. This could include anything from giving relief to caregivers, sitting with the patient who may or may not be conscious, providing support for the family during the end of life planning, or simply be a sympathetic ear without judgement.

Hospice volunteers can work with a family up to six months before a patent’s passing, or even the last few days.

“We train volunteers right here in Golden, and myself and some of the others have taken courses elsewhere,” said Cundliffe. “Invermere has a wonderful hospice, they’ve been very helpful.”

More Advance Warning Needed

Julia Cundliffe has been volunteering with the Golden Hospice Society since it was founded in the early ‘90s.

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo The volunteers also attend the funeral after the patient passes to show support to the family.

“It can be tough and draining work, but we all get together and talk about our experiences after, see what we could have done differently. It’s a bit of a release for us,” said Cundliffe. “And when you get a thank you or a hug from a family member, it’s all worth it.”

Anyone interested in volunteering with the Golden Hospice Society, or learning more about their services can contact them at goldenhospicehelp@gmail.com.

When the road maintenance contractors undertake work on our highways they are hard to miss. The Traffic Control Manual for Work on Roadways tells them all about setting out advance warnings to give drivers plenty of opportunity to realize that they are approaching a hazard. What is often missing is the equivalent for short term, small scale occurrences. This had added importance now that we have the slow down, move over law.

The Motor Vehicle Act is very straight forward, if you are doing work on a highway, you must post traffic control devices indicating that there are workers or equipment present. This means that a sign, signal, line, meter, marking, space, barrier or device must be in place, ideally with sufficient distance to give drivers time to anticipate and react. A flashing yellow light alone is not sufficient.

The Act also requires that traffic control devices be placed to restrict the speed of traffic in a work area. If speed signs are not posted, then other devices must be placed to restrict the manner in which the vehicles are to proceed on the highway.

It’s worthwhile as part of this discussion to examine what is meant by the word highway. Most of us tend to think of main highways and freeways, but a highway also includes streets, lanes and pathways that the public uses to drive vehicles on, and that includes the shoulder. Working on the shoulder rather than in the travelled lanes does not excuse the need to place sufficient warnings.

Rotary Club looking to help University of Calgary project in Laos Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net As the old saying goes, if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

For the University of Calgary’s Dr. Chris Brown and his wife, Dr. Jane Lemaitre, both professors and physicians who have been volunteering in global health initiatives in Southeast Asia for nearly 20 years, it’s not just about teaching a man (or woman) how to fish. It’s also about showing them how to practice medicine in third world conditions so that they can pass along their knowledge to future physicians and create a cycle of sustainability.

Brown and Lemaitre, who own a house in Golden and have made this community a home away from home, began working overseas in 1997 in the Philippines. There they joined an already established group of professionals from the university who were helping to build a brand new medical school.

The government of Laos took notice of the university’s work in the Philippines and reached out to them for help.

“They knew that they were hopeless. They were in a hopeless situation with their medical education. They were like half a century out of date…it was a horrible situation,” Brown explained.

The university’s aid started in a very basic sense in the late 1990s in the form of simple conversations, gradually growing from there.

“They realized that we weren’t going to give them an answer to this, that we were there just to help them form an idea of what they wanted to do and then we would help them achieve what they wanted to do,” Brown said.

In 2002, a few individuals from the university went over there with the idea that they would help disassemble and reconstruct their medical school, located in the Lao capital of Vientiane.

After that five year project, the group from the university stayed around to help, rewriting the med. school curriculum and teaching both instructors and students how to learn medicine in a modern way.

“The next part of modern medical education, is that once you’ve gone through med.

school, you’re not really a doctor. You’ve just been given the tools to learn how to be a real doctor,” Brown said.

In developed countries, med. school graduates take on internships and residencies as the teaching process continues. Lao students didn’t have that luxury until the University of Calgary team stepped in. “(But) they didn’t need brain surgeons and cardiovascular surgeons and fancy, schmancy doctors,” Brown said.

“They formulated this idea of a physician that was specific for the needs of Laos, which is 80 per cent rural…who would be able to work essentially by themselves and still make things better for healthcare in the villages.”

In that newly created role, physicians would not only have to know how to perform a variety of procedures, but they’d have to act as healthcare managers, teachers and community leaders. They became to be known as five star doctors. Essentially they were to become Jacks (and Jills) of all trades.

The university helped them design a training program to that end, establishing training facilities in several locations around the country.

Since the first graduating class of 2007, 150 five star doctors have completed the program and are currently working as rural physicians throughout Laos.

The next step is where the Rotary Club of Golden comes in.

Rotarian Bruce McKenzie caught wind of a documentary that Brown had produced about their work in Laos and instantly felt it was a good project for the club to get involved with.

“I invited him to the club and he presented his (documentary). You can always tell with Rotarians when there’s something interesting. You can hear a pin drop,” McKenzie recalled.

“What struck me with the project…it wasn’t Western medicine coming in and saying this is how you should do it. It was a matter of ‘you tell us what you need and we can try and help with the process’…I thought that was amazing.”

There are three areas where the Lao project needs continued funding, says Brown, and Rotary could play a large role in all three of them. Firstly, funding is needed to continue a medical education conference

Dr. Chris Brown and his wife Dr. Jane Lemaitre pictured with two Laotian doctors, both of whom graduated from the program that the couple helped create in the impoverished Southeast Asian country.

Photo Submitted that began five years ago. The conference brings graduates together for productive dialogue and discussion every year.

“They’ve never had such a conference in Laos for any medical group so this is very unique,” Brown said.

Secondly, graduates of the program, as Brown explains, often come up with all kinds of ideas regarding areas of need in their own communities and are often unsure on how to make their plans a reality.

“So we’re going to teach them the formal process of quality improvement (at the medical conference)…and turn all the graduates into teachers so they’re going to spread the word in their communities.”

Finally, improvements to the education standards of rural healthcare teams is needed to improve the quality of care that five star doctors can deliver. Funding will go towards supporting the five star doctors in their endeavour to improve the education of the support staff (nurses, doc-

tors and other healthcare professionals) around them.

The bill to fund these three initiatives comes in at $50,000 annually for the next three years, a figure that McKenzie feels is more than doable, especially if they get other Rotary clubs in the region on board.

The process towards doing that has already begun, as the Golden club attempts to make this a global Rotary initiative.

“We want to partner with other clubs in the area and once we have that we can perhaps get more partnerships with other clubs in our district and that will support us with the global grant,” McKenzie said.

McKenzie says the club may look at ways of raising funds specifically for this project before the end of the year, but nothing concrete has been set up as of yet.

Wild fire near Golden under control after cool, damp weekend Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

The fire 12km NW of Golden was still active but listed as under control by the BC Wildfire Service as of Monday, July 27.

Photo Submitted

On Tuesday July 21 a forest fire was detected 12 kilometres southwest of Golden, north of the Spillimacheen River. Smoke was clearly visible from the town of Golden and along Highway 95 throughout much of the evening.

The fire, which was listed as being 115 hectares in size, was fully contained by Monday morning after some cool, wet weather over the weekend. Crews numbering 20 firefighters and one helicopter were continuing to mop up and patrol the area from the top of the fire as of Monday. The fire is not a threat to any structures or communities.

Since Monday, July 20, the BC Wildfire Service has responded to 81 new wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre. All but five of those fires were lightningcaused.

Ground crews are being supported by helicopters and airtankers as they work to contain and extinguish the fires, with 39 of them already out or contained.

Although most of the fires that started this week were caused by lightning, five were started by human activity. The Southeast Fire Centre urges industry personnel and members of the public to

be careful in or around forests or grasslands, since person-caused fires divert resources that are currently needed for lightning-caused fires.

Crews are also responding to multiple spot-sized fires on the north and south ends of Christina Lake. While they are visible from the community of Christina Lake, these fires are not threatening any structures. Several other spot-sized fires (less than one hectare) are burning elsewhere in the Southeast Fire Centre, with the majority of them burning in the Boundary and Upper Arrow Lake regions.

The current fire danger rating is “high” in the Revelstoke, Boundary, Kootenay Lake, Arrow and Cranbrook areas, moderate” to “low” in the majority of the Columbia region and “moderate” in the Invermere Fire Zone.

A repeating pattern of lightning storms, accompanied by variable amounts of precipitation, have ignited 308 lightning-caused fires in the Southeast Fire Centre so far this season. There have been a total of 368 fires since April 1, which have burned 2,012 hectares.

To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

RCMP Report: Motion Notion keeps detachment very busy Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net It was a busy week for the Golden-Field RCMP as police were called to respond to 97 files.

“This is definitely above average for our detachment,” said detachment spokesperson Cst. Spencer Lainchbury.

“Although the Motion Notion music festival being held at the Beaverfoot Lodge tied up some of our resources over the weekend, we had several other priority files that kept us busy.”

Car rolls down embankment Police were called to assist with a collision on Canyon Creek Road on the afternoon of July 20. “It’s believed that the driver, a 22 year-old male from Golden, exited the roadway causing the vehicle to go down a steep embankment,” said Cst. Lainchbury Both the driver and passenger, a 19 yearold female also from Golden, were transported by BC Ambulance to the Golden Hospital. The driver sustained minor injuries however the passenger was treated for more serious, non-life threatening injuries.

Semi loses cargo Local police and highway crews were busy cleaning up cedar mulch from Highway 1 after a semi lost several bags of it off its trailer during the early morning of July 21. Police first noticed the bags while responding to an unrelated call west of Golden, and contacted highway maintenance crews to assist in the clean-up. The semi was located parked in town shortly after and the driver was issued a $288.00 violation ticket for an unsecure load.

Male attacks car A 20 year-old male from Abbotsford was arrested for Mischief on July 21 after police received a frantic call from a female alleging that the male had smashed her car while she was inside. According to the caller the two had been drinking together at a local establishment when she left without the male. The male then followed her home and

after a short altercation she locked herself inside her car.

“It’s alleged that the male then proceeded to kick and punch the car damaging the mirror,” stated Cst. Lainchbury. Police were able to locate the male who was arrested and lodged in cells until sober. The male was later released from police custody and is scheduled to appear in court in Golden on Oct. 7.

Weapons complaint Police responded to a weapons complaint during the early morning hours of July 21 after it was reported that a transient male had been forced out of his camp by another group of transient males, one which was carrying a knife.

Patrols were made by police to locate both the complainant and the subjects of the complaint; however neither party could be located.

Dispute over collision On July 21 at approximately 6:30 a.m., police responded to a collision on Highway 1 near Beaver Valley Road in Rogers Pass. Although neither party reported significant damage or injuries, the two drivers were in a verbal dispute over who was at fault for the collision.

“It appears that the collision was a result of one motorist not wanting the other motorist to pass,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The collision was documented by police with the information being forwarded to the two motorists’ insurance companies to determine the level of fault.

Fruit Stand Heist Police are continuing to investigate after a break and enter was reported by the fruit stand located on the Trans-Canada Highway at 14th Street.

“It appears that someone was able to gain entry to the inside of the business by prying open the front door,” says Cst. Lainchbury. A large quantity of canned goods including honey and jams were stolen.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding this incident contact them at 250344-2221 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Wasted resources Police would like to remind those who are travelling to make sure they stay in contact with friends and family after spending several hours throughout the week trying to locate overdue travellers. Local police were called on two separate incidents after people failed to show up to their destinations when expected.

“In both cases the travellers had simply taken their time and did not require police or medical assistance,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “A simple phone call updating those expecting you can free up police resources allowing us to focus on other priorities.”

Fight over bacon On July 22 police were called to a dispute in which a male alleged that he was assaulted by his brother. Upon attendance police determined that the two had got into an argument over bacon, resulting in one brother hitting the other with one of the pieces of bacon. Police were able to mediate the dispute, and no further issues were reported.

Helicopter crash On July 24 police were advised that efforts were currently underway to provide medical assistance to occupants of a helicopter that had crashed just south of Golden.

Both BC Ambulance and the Golden FireRescue responded to assist with the patients.

The matter has been passed on to Transport Canada for investigation.

Tailgating ticket A motorist from Red Deer was issued a ticket for following too closely after rear-ending another vehicle on Highway 1 between the tunnels east of Rogers Pass on July 24. Both vehicle’s sustained extensive damage, but none of the occupants were injured. Westbound traffic saw minor delays while Parks Canada crews, police, and tow cleared the scene.

Stolen Vehicle Police are continuing to investigate after a report was received that a vehicle listed for sale had been stolen from a residence on Selkirk Drive. The vehicle a red Chevrolet

Cavalier was last seen by a friend staying at house on July 25, when he returned later in the morning the vehicle was gone. Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact local police or Crimestoppers.

Stranded Hikers The Golden and District Search & Rescue (GADSAR) team was activated by police on July 25 after a SPOT beacon was received.

The initial call indicated that a group of hikers were stranded on a mountain range near Golden and one was believed to have hypothermia. The group was not immediately accessed due to weather, but was eventually transported to the Golden Hospital where they were treated and released.

Propane stove fight Police were called to Finn Creek rest area just off of Highway 1 on the evening of July 25 after two motorists got in a verbal argument over the use of a propane stove during the fire ban.

Police responded and mediated the argument without further issues. The two motorists departed the area heading for their destinations.

Motion Notion Police were called to assist BC Ambulance on July 24 after a concerned mother received a call from her son stating that he had been drugged while attending Motion Notion. Police responded with BC Ambulance and spoke with the male who refused medical attention stating he was fine.

Police along with medical and security staff for the Motion Notion festival seized a number of illegal drugs during the event as a result of check stops and interactions with attendees. Drugs seized included cocaine, MDMA (ecstasy), and marijuana.

“With such a large event it is impossible to stop all illegal drugs from going onto the property, however the road checks conducted by police and security prevented some of these drugs from getting past the gates which hopefully prevented some emergency response calls

throughout the weekend,” said Cst. Lainchbury.

A member of the festival’s security team was treated for minor injuries after a female who was found without a ticket to the event was escorted off the property. “As the security guard went to drive away, the female allegedly threw a rock at the vehicle, smashing the passenger side window,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The male was treated on site for small cuts as a result of the glass breaking. The female was last seen on foot walking down the road, but was gone when police arrived.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the female is asked to contact police or Crimestoppers.

A 30 year-old male from Sechelt is facing charges of possessing a drug for the purpose of trafficking, after police were called to assist security staff who had detained the male for having a knife at the event. Security staff advised that

a search of the male for other weapons resulted in them finding a large bag of what is believed to be narcotics on the male.

Police attended and the male was arrested and transported back to the Golden RCMP Detachment where he was later released.

Samples of the suspected drugs will be sent to be tested to determine the chemical make-up.

The male is scheduled to appear in court in Golden on October 7.

At approximately 6 a.m. on July 27, GADSAR was tasked with locating two hikers who had become lost while trying to walk to the Notion Motion music festival at the Beaverfoot Lodge. The two had set up camp overnight and when they woke up they were unable to determine where they were in relation to the festival. The two, who could hear the music coming from the event, were instructed to continue to follow the Kicking Horse River towards the music,

as the river runs adjacent to the Beaverfoot Lodge. Just over an hour later, police received a call back from the two advising they had found their way to the festival and GADSAR stood down.

Police were called to assist security after an upset father showed up at the gates to the festival and was allegedly causing a disturbance.

“The family was camping in the area and realized that their 18 yearold daughter had left to go to the festival,” stated Cst. Lainchbury.

Security staff was able to locate the daughter, and the family departed from the area.

A 31 year-old male from Vancouver had his friend’s vehicle impounded after rolling up to a police check stop with no driver’s licence.

Under the Motor Vehicle Act the vehicle was seized for seven days given the driver’s current driving status. Police also ticketed another male from Calgary after he approached the check stop with an expired licence.

Enjoy festival season, but be respectful

Don’t feed the bears!

As I was driving up to the ski hill about a month back, there was a van stopped on the left side of the road. This van was travelling in the same direction as I was, which means that it was "parked" facing oncoming traffic on a windy road.

I'm sure most of you know why the vehicle was "pulled over" in such - I SURMISE a reckless manner. It

By Jessica Schwitek stopped to look at a bear on the side of the road.

Those of you who work up the hill see this on a regular basis.

Not only is this dangerous for everyone on the road, someone coming the other way could have hit the vehicle head on, but it's also harmful to the animals as they get comfortable with proximity to humans.

It's frustrating as a local to see so many tourists disregard their own safety, not to mention ours and the animals'. But what we see here is nothing compared to what they are dealing with in the parks.

This week Parks Canada had to issue a plea for public support to help them reduce the number of instances of unlawful feeding of wildlife in Banff, Yoho and Kootenay national parks.

With strained budgets, the parks cannot afford to have constant patrols on the highways and on the trails to make sure that people are not feeding animals, particularly bears. They are therefore asking that the public report any and all instances of feeding wildlife.

Not only are they asking that you record a license plate number, but if it is safe to do so, they are also asking that you take a photo.

This public support was very helpful to them last year when a recording was taken of an individual feeding a bear in Banff National Park. The video allowed Parks Canada wardens to issue charges that went to court, and eventually resulted in a guilty plea and a $1,000 fine.

I’m glad they’re doing this. It’s our responsibility to, if not protect than at least respect, the wildlife and their environment that we have encroached upon.

But this is a very reactive solution to the problem.

There will always be inconsiderate tourists (and locals) who want the experience of getting close to a bear regardless of the consequences. But the optimist in me thinks that most of these feeding wildlife infractions are committed by people who don’t understand the consequences of their actions... who don’t realize that feeding a bear makes it habituated to humans and human food, and will quite possibly lead to the bear being euthanized.

I would like to see stronger education campaigns to help tourists understand that the “don’t feed the wildlife” signs they see are not there to protect the park from liability, but rather to protect the animals.

No one wants to be the reason a bear gets killed, and if people really understood that this is what they are causing, I truly believe we would see a substantial drop in infractions.

Last week a photo circulated online depicting the aftermath of the Pemberton music festival. The setting, naturally, was serene. Lush forest and open fields framed by towering mountains.

But that wasn’t the most striking part of the photograph. What stood out was the absolute mountain of garbage and debris that had been left behind by festival-goers, who seemingly didn’t care or couldn’t be bothered to clean up after themselves. Appalling.

This past weekend, the Beaverfoot area played host to the annual Motion Notion festival, which bills itself as an exploration of electronic music, art, nature and the infinite in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

Naturally, this week’s RCMP Report is littered with items stemming from the festival, which might be well intentioned, but always involves plenty of illicit drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy. I don’t envy the police officers that have to deal with those situations.

It’s great that locals and tourists have a chance to celebrate in serene settings like PemberJoel Tansey ton and the Beaverfoot valley and at B.C.’s many other summer festivals. It’s unfortunate that S TAR R EPORTER some negatives have to accompany these festivals, but such is the reality of any event involving a large swath of people. At the very least, however, I’d like to believe that festival-goers are capable of treating their environment, their fellow attendees and authority figures with respect.

BC Ranchers I'd like to thank Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz for extending the opportunity of tax deferral to B.C. ranchers.

The ability to defer a portion of their income to the following year, offers the ability for ranchers to replenish their stock and prepare a sustainable business plan for the impacts of this year's drought. The unprecedented hot and dry weather brings the immediate challenges of heat and water, and the longer term impacts of more expensive, and harder to find cattle feed, and the announcement made today, is one tool to help ranchers better prepare for it.

"In addition, the B.C. government will continue our partnership with the Government of Canada in provid-

ing a range of risk management programs that compensate ranchers for weather related losses and declines in income.

Farming and ranching is hard work, with risks and perils, and the B.C. government is doing our best to ensure B.C. farmers have access to programs and products to help mitigate that risk.

"British Columbians have a role to play in supporting our farmers and ranchers too. I'd like to encourage British Columbians to show their support for local farmers and ranchers this summer and all year long. By choosing B.C. products you're investing in your community and B.C. food security.

Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance announces funding projects CKCS Story submitted Over 160 arts, culture and heritage projects— including the Columbia Basin Culture Tour—have received a total of $706,000.00 in funding support for the 2015–2016 season through the Columbia

Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA), in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust.

“The CKCA Steering Committee was pleased to be able to supply Trust funding to good projects all across the Basin. We hope cultural organizations will start think-

ing about activities that will be happening between June 2016 and May 2017 and planning their applications now for the next funding cycle,” said Jacquie Hamilton, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance Chair.

CKCA administers and manages arts, cul-

ture and heritage program funding on behalf of the Trust.

Funding applications were adjudicated in May by the CKCA Steering Committee, with input from community arts councils. Support will go toward a wide range of projects, including individual

Area A Report: Building Capacity

As I indicated a few weeks ago in my Electoral Area Director’s, (EAD) report, I promised to establish a Local Advisory Committee (LAC). With such a large geographical area as well as a wide range of stakeholders with diverse needs and areas of interest, it is critical for me to examine when and how to involve residents. The LAC’s purpose is to function as the eyes and ears on the ground to gauge the temperature of issues that are raised by the community.

They do not speak on my behalf but provide local knowledge and input on community issues. The roles and responsibilities of the LAC are as follows: 1.

To function as a conduit/liaison for issues, concerns, ideas, and views raised by Area “A” residents; 2.

To gauge the magnitude of those issues, concerns, ideas, and views raised by Area “A” residents; 3.

To assist the EAD in consideration of those issues, concerns, ideas, and Area A Report views of Area “A” residents so they can be addressed appropriately;

By Karen Cathcart 4.

To provide feedback to the EAD that is unbiased and representative of the community at large; 5.

To consider information in an open transparent forum; and 6.

To provide advice that is independent from the CSRD staff and elected officials.

They are engaged community members who are committed to the betterment of Area A. In the space to the right is the contact information for members of the LAC. I always look forward to connecting with you.

and group projects, master classes, major exhibitions and heritage capital projects.

“Each year we look forward to seeing the list of projects that will bring such cultural

wealth to our region,” said Lynda Lafleur, Columbia Basin Trust Community Liaison.

“We have many creative, innovative and hard-working people in the Basin, and it’s

their visions and efforts that make our arts, culture and heritage sector so strong.”

Danny Fernandez, AKA Def 3, will be in Golden for a show on August 4.

Photo Submitted

A mainstay in the Saskatchewan arts scene, and avid touring hip hop artist Danny Fernandez, AKA Def 3, is playing an all-ages show at Jita’s Cafe on Aug. 4.

Not only is he recognized internationally for his musical talents, Fernandez has also made waves as a graffiti artist. You may recognize his work here in Golden on the exterior of the Bizarre Entertainment building.

Don’t let the humble prairie-boy background fool you, Fernandez was a world traveller by the age of four. He lived for six years on board a hospital ship with his family while travelling to 27 countries from the Caribbean through Europe and West Africa.

This gives him a unique perspective on life, which when couple with his Latin rhythm from his Chilean father and a flair for words from his mother, results in a brand of music all his own.

He’ll be taking the stage at Jita’s Cafe at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

Oysterband brings 40 years of folk, rock and punk to Summer Kicks

Oysterband has endured numerous lineup changes over the years but is now producing its best music yet.

Photo Submitted Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Currently Oysterband, playing Summer Kicks on Aug. 5, consists of founding members John Jones (vocal, melodeon), Alan Prosser (guitars, vocal), and Ian Telfer (violin, keyboard, vocal) with Dil Davies (drums), Al Scott (bass guitar, mandolin, vocal), and Adrian Oxaal (cello, gui-

tar, vocal).

At first - around 1978 - purely a dance band , they soon started experimenting with radical arrangements of traditional songs and with home recording, and even put out four albums in the early ‘80s. These sound harmless enough now, but at the time their home-made, try-anything attitude was controversial.

In the late ‘80s the band toured almost continuously. As well as territories opened up by a new record company in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and North America, and shows with similar-minded artists such as Michelle Shocked and Billy Bragg, the band toured for the British Council in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Morocco. Travel on this scale had a powerful impact on the group’s attitudes to the world and their songwriting.

In recent years, they’ve consciously tried to evolve their songwriting beyond the clichés of the “Celtic” style. 2007’s Meet You There was hailed widely at the time as the band’s best recording ever.

In early 2014 Oysterband put out a collection of new material, Diamonds On The Water, which will surely feature when the group takes the stage in Spirit Square on Aug. 5.

The Net Result: Mockingjay Part 1 Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Sometimes, movie studios can dip into the money well one too many times to the detraction of the overall product.

That nearly happened in the Hunger Games trilogy, where the third and final book, which was the exact same length as the first two, was broken up into two separate films in order to cash in one extra time before the conclusion of the series.

The result is a less eventful film than the series’ predecessors, and one that lacks the thrills that series fans have likely come to expect.

It’s still not a bad film by any means, and does tee up the series finale quite nicely, but it’s a small step below the other two which were both solid, even above average adventure films.

At the outset of Mockingjay Part 1, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has been taken to District 13, a remote district of the dystopian Panem empire that has spearheaded a rebellion against the government and President Snow (Donald Sutherland). After her inspiring performances in the Hunger Games, Katniss has become a prominent figure and the rebellion leaders and their president (Julianne Moore) ask her to become the Mockingjay - the symbol of the entire revolt.

Katniss is initially reluctant to help, but later agrees on the condition that the rebels do everything they can to rescue her friend Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) from imprisonment in the Capitol.

Katniss is then filmed completing a variety of inspirational tasks in order to rally the rest of the country to join the cause. During this time, the violence begins to escalate and the stakes grow larger.

Luxury & Paradise 2940 Allen Road $1,279,000

Jennifer Lawrence returns to portray the heroine Katniss in Mockingjay Part 1.

Lions Gate Entertainment movie, which is slated for a fall 2015 release, I can’t help but think that the Hunger Games trilogy should have been just that, three films. Mockingjay Part 1 lacks the pace of your typical adventure film and it feels like there is a good bit of filler splattered throughout the two hours of runtime.

Performances by Lawrence, Moore, Sutherland and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (in one of the late actor’s final roles) are highlights, and the world that author Suzanne Collins created remains an intriguing one, but sometimes less is more… except when you’re talking about money.

I’ll give Mockingjay Part 1 7 mouse clicks out of 10.

Stunning panoramic views, luxury and class describe this impeccable home! Located on over 6 acres less than 20 minutes from Golden and the golf courses, ski hills and lakes that surround. You can listen to the music of the creek while taking in the amazing view of the Valley and Mountain Ranges from your wrap around deck.

Reverend saw kindness in Golden during the Great Depression

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

From Golden Memories 1982. My Experience in Golden in the Thirties - Reverend Earle F. Stotesbury – an United Church Minister from Ontario: As a young fellow in Ontario, I longed to see the prairies, mountains, the ocean and large ships. A friend from a little town in northern Saskatchewan and I jumped a freight train in Allandale, Ontario in June of 1935. We told our parents we were going west by train, but neglected to say we were going by freight train.

Our trip west was difficult because so many men were on the move because of the

Great Depression. The police tried to make the movement of transients as difficult as possible to discourage them from travelling. We were caught up in this situation.

The night of the great riot in Regina, we managed to get to Winnipeg with great difficulty and some danger.

The authorities did not want large gatherings of men in any one place so movement, even by hitchhikers, was very difficult. We managed to get out of Winnipeg on the back of a Blue Goose bus, by hiding in the luggage section.

I left my friend in Saskatchewan and headed on to see Edmonton and Calgary. When hitchhiking out of Calgary I was picked up by a man named Red Cooper. We wanted me to work for him at his resort near Lake Louise for a week or so, which I took.

A friend took me by car to Field. I learned there that some of the transients had greased

the train rails causing great difficulty for train crews in that area. So the police continued to harass those of us on the move.

When I arrived in Golden I was immediately picked up by the police and taken to the station. I told the head officer that I had been working for Red Cooper, so he allowed me to continue to Vancouver, after he saw I had money for my ticket, and some addresses of friends I would see there. I took it as a real challenge for me to ride across the country by freight train, so I continued to do so out of Golden.

I went to the west end of the town about four o’clock in the afternoon and hid in the grass until a freight train was ready to take off for the coast. Several times I thought the freight was all set to go, but it was just shunting back and forth.

I noticed the engineer watching me from the cab on the engine.

After several times I

ran towards the train, trying to keep out of sight of the police. The engineer motioned for me to come over to climb up in the cab, which I did. Then, he informed me that the police would start at the head of the train and go right back to the caboose to make sure that no one got through on that train.

He told me to get into the tool box and hide, which I did. After we had traveled through the ling tunnel, he let me go back to an empty box car in the train, with some sandwiches he gave me.

Several weeks later, on my way to back from Vancouver, I was riding on the tender of the engine of a passenger train in broad daylight.

I became very ill and had to go to the toilet in the worst way. I was determined I would not make a mess on the tender because I did not want to annoy the fireman. So, at seventy miles an hour, I clung to the ladder of the engine tender,

Grace Methodist Church was one of the two churches in Golden that amalgamated to become the United Church.

When the engine of the train stopped at the water tank at Golden, I thought I would be all right if I got off the opposite side of the station. To my surprise a policeman was right there, and asked me to go to the station with him.

Learn what you should hold inside an RESP Brenda Spiering Editor at Brighterlife.ca So, you’ve decided to open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to save for your child’s education. What’s next?

When you meet with an advisor to set up the plan, you’ll be asked how you want your contributions to be invested. There are two options: 1. Fixed-income investments: These include short-term bonds, guaranteed investment certificates and cash held in an investment savings account. Why are they are called “fixed”? Because they offer a fixed rate of return. They pay you a set interest rate and provide you with the security of knowing your investment is guaranteed not to drop in value. The downside? When interest rates are low, the amount you earn on your contributions is also low.

2. Equity investments: These include stocks, which are publicly traded shares of a company or corporation, and equity mutual funds, which are pooled investments consisting of a group of stocks selected by a fund manager. They are called “equity” because they provide you with a percentage equity ownership. This means you will profit if the companies you’ve invested in go up in value. His-

torically, equity investments have provided the highest longterm rate of return. The downside? Their short-term value can go up and down. The advisor who sets up your plan can help you determine the best mix of investments for your particular situation, based on: • The age of the child you’re saving for. Equity investments can be a good choice for a younger child’s plan, as the money won’t be needed for a while and they provide the greatest opportunity for long-term growth. But they’re not so good for teens who have only a couple of years until college, since their short-term value can fluctuate. For older kids, fixed-income investments may be a safer investment alternative.

• Your personal risk tolerance. This is something only you (with the help of your financial advisor) can determine. You may be asked to complete a questionnaire to help determine a specific investment ratio that corresponds with your personal comfort level.

Simply put: Selecting a balanced mix of investments for an RESP, and working with a financial advisor to gradually shift the balance of investments from equity over to fixed-income as you approach the date when the funds will be withdrawn, can help ensure the plan will grow and the money will be there when it’s needed.

Golden Faith Column: Biblical Existence If you are reading this - you exist – you're alive. Do you know why? Is it by chance or by design?

Years ago I pondered these thoughts. In time I accepted the reality that since I was alive I needed to know why. Could it just be by chance?

I had, through my 30 years of life, read and heard that God created me in His own image. Genesis 1:27. And that He created all things and said “indeed it was very good,” Genesis 1:31. If God exists and is Truth and that all that is natural, seen and unseen is of Him, including me, ( I being university educated, a teacher and coach of teenagers, married with three children) then I had to deal with the Ultimate Question: “What am I believing about my reason for my existence?” My work at that time took me to mountain tops, unobstructed 360 degree views, nighttime clarity of the skies I had only witnessed as a child in a planetarium,. Being up close – real close with nature and wildlife – my mind queried “all this: by chance or by design?”

- Ralph Kirchhofer I later read in Psalm 8:1 “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who Columbia Valley Bible Fellowship have set Your glory above the heavens! ” verse 4 “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained.” And then verse 5 “What is man that You are mindful of Him?” It became too much for me to turn my back and cast it off as “it's all by chance, it just happened this way.” How selfish even arrogant I had become to think that the indescribable world / universe I lived in 'revolved around me and therefore my justification of existence.' I was then convinced and continue to be assured that God created me, has given me this life, and wants me to continue forever with Him. This is not just for me but for all who accept His love, John 3:16; receive His forgiveness of their sins, Romans 3:23 and believe His Son paid in full this incalculable cost with His life on a cross – WOW – I must proclaim: WHAT AN EXISTENCE!

Andrew John Hamilton It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, uncle and friend Andrew John Hamilton on July 12, 2015.

Andy was born on December 19, 1952, in Cranbrook, BC. He grew up in Parson before moving to Golden and spending the majority of his life there.

Andy had many careers which he worked passionately at and found fulfillment in doing.

Most recently he was a Safety Manager with Flatiron Construction. His job allowed him to oversee work on the Park Bridge outside of Golden, the Stoney Trail Ring Road in Calgary as well as projects across British Columbia and Alberta, and volunteer work in El Salvador. He also spent many years as Log Yard Supervisor at both the sawmill in Donald and the plywood plant in Golden.

Andy was passionate about his family, his work and the outdoors. He loved to hunt and fish and took great pride in the maintenance and upkeep of his Buffalo ranch in the Blaeberry. Andy is survived by his three children, Lee, Lyndsey and Megan, his grandchildren Stanley, Gus and Charlotte as well as many other family and friends.
