Room stay revenue shows increase

Continued from page 1

“Anecdotally I’ve had so many accommodators and activity operators saying that it’s (their) best year ever,” Sweeting said. “It’s really good all around.”

Among accommodators, Bellstar Hotels and Resorts and the Prestige Inn saw huge gains over the summer when compared to 2014.

For Bellstar, room revenue was up 30 per cent in the month of July compared to 2014.

“And last year was a record breaking year for us as well for the summer, so we’ve just built on top of that. We’re pretty proud of what we’re doing on the marketing side of things,” said Ian Thorley, Director of Sales & Marketing at Bellstar.

The Prestige Inn has operated on the Trans-Canada Highway since the early ‘90s.

“We’ve had a significant increase. It’s our busiest season on record,” said John Histed, the hotel’s manager. According to him, it was rare for the hotel to be below 98 per cent of its capacity throughout July and August.

Not surprisingly, the tourism spending has spilled into town as well, with at least one restaurant operator having a record-breaking year in their own right.

“From last summer we were up around 15 per cent…we’re pretty happy,” said Petra Nott, the manager at the Island Restaurant.

“It was our sixth summer so we’ve actually had an increase each summer that we’ve been open.”

As for Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, its numbers are hard to compare directly from year to year, as the resort opened far earlier than in the past and accepted daily traffic throughout June, July and August. Still, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, KHMR’s parent company, is celebrating a very successful summer in their own right.

“July was probably the best month and we saw the biggest growth in July. August was strong and busy aside from the last two weeks of August because of smoke and then a little bit of cold and some rain for almost 10 days,” said Maxime Cretin, director of business development and guest experience at Kicking Horse. Cretin says that growth was in the 20 per cent range in 2015 compared to the shorter 2014 season.

There are several factors that might be at play when it comes to Golden’s recent success. A weak dollar has made Canada, and especially the Canadian Rockies, an attractive destination for Americans and Europeans.

Additionally, aggressive marketing from Tourism Golden and the major players in Golden’s tourism industry are starting to reap rewards. One initiative from Tourism Golden has been particularly successful at bringing in German tourists.

“We’ve been working with a company that has digital publications aimed primarily at the German travel trade, but also they have a consumer element as well. We’ve been working with them for well over a year now am encouraging them to include editorials, which they have. Every single one of their issues in the last five issues has had something about Golden,” Sweeting said.

As a consequence, the number of visits to Tourism Golden’s website from German IP adresses was up 34% compared to its previous fiscal year. Web visits from UK and USA residents were also up significantly, 26 per cent and 29 per cent respectively.

Golden could get a further boost from an event that was highly successful in 2014, as the Single Track 6 race will be returning for two stages of its 2016 race, the final two races of the multi-stage event. Sweeting hopes that this will lead racers to stay in Golden following the event and enjoy the many biking trails that the area has to offer at a more leisurely pace.

Disobeying The Laws of Physics

You may be able to disregard the rules in the Motor Vehicle Act and survive, but flouting the laws of physics when you drive will eventually result in a collision. I spent a decade dealing with concepts like perception - reaction time, coefficients of friction and maximum acceleration when I did a forensic examination of a collision scene. This gave me some insight into what you can and can’t do as a driver and the need to never put yourself in a position when your vehicle tried to ask more of the laws of physics than they would allow.

The driver I watched yesterday either had no consideration for the physics involved in driving, had a very high risk tolerance or both. He was following a larger vehicle travelling 90 km/h with what looked like enough room to comfortably parallel park between them had they been standing still. I’m always happy when these drivers roar off into the distance and are no longer near me. I guess my tolerance of risk is not a high one, particularly when the risk is imposed on me by others.

90 km/h is 25 meters per second. Accepted perception - reaction time in collision reconstruction is 1.5 seconds. That means this driver travels 37 meters between the time something happens and he first applies the brake. No slowing has occurred yet. If the vehicle in front slows suddenly, a crash is inevitable.

Not a problem, I’ll just steer out of the way you say. Remember that perception - reaction time?

It means that you will just begin to turn the steering wheel after having travelled that 37 meters.

Again, a crash is inevitable.

The vehicle in front doesn’t have to slow to be a problem either. It may be blocking your view of what is ahead. If the driver waits until the last minute to move out of the way of a hazard, we’re back to that 37 meters or 1.5 seconds again. Are you feeling like a crash test dummy yet? The laws of physics are not forgiving.

Candidate Q&A: Canadian Federal Election 2015

Bill Green Green Party of Canada

Don Johnston Liberal Party of Canada

Wayne Stetski New Democratic Party

David Wilks Conservative Party of Canada

Christine Yahn Libertarian Party of Canada

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.?

If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

In my work with the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc Nations, I have been deeply involved in discussions about renewal of the Columbia River Treaty, focusing on restoring ecosystems and returning salmon to the Upper Columbia and Kootenay River watersheds.

I have spearheaded an initiative to learn how operation of the Treaty dams could be improved to benefit ecosystems, fish and wildlife, and local communities. We have proposed establishment of a Columbia Basin International Watershed Board under the auspices of the International Joint Commission.

There is no question about involvement of the federal government in Treaty negotiations.

Ottawa has constitutional responsibility for international treaties, for rivers that cross the 49th parallel, and for fisheries. The federal government must work very closely with the government of BC but also with First Nations and local governments in the Columbia Basin to develop negotiating positions and, ultimately, negotiate effectively with the US government.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

My focus is on federal funding to improve rail infrastructure, particularly through the critical Rogers Pass transportation bottleneck.

The Green Party proposes to invest $600 to $700 million annually in our vital national rail infrastructure. With long-term investment in better rail infrastructure in our riding, more freight currently being moved by truck on Highways 1 and 3 can be moved by rail, relieving heavy truck congestion on those routes and improving road safety for all drivers.

Highway maintenance, especially in winter, is a key safety issue.

Ottawa is responsible for maintenance and repair of the Trans-Canada Highway inside national parks.

There must be federal infrastructure spending to improve safety conditions – including maintenance – of the Trans-Canada between the BC-Alberta border and Sicamous.

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.?

If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn't Ottawa be involved?

The federal government has to be involved in the negotiations because the treaty is an agreement between the United States and Canada. Canada transferred the rights and obligations under the CRT to the province under the Canada-BC Agreement, but substantive treaty changes would require federal government involvement.

For Constitutional reasons the Federal Government also has to be involved in discussion on water use licenses, possible salmon restoration, and aboriginal rights, but our role would be to work closely with both the province and BC Hydro, the Canadian Entity appointed to implement the CRT on behalf of the province. Since Liberal policy to re-engage in an inclusive process with Indigenous Peoples mirrors Provincial goals the Federal partnership would not hinder the treaty process. My former involvement with Columbia Basin Trust also ensures a priority that decisions would always consider the direct impacts on the people who live in the basin.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

The Liberal party expects me to speak up on local rural issues and highways are a central concern in this region. Infrastructure in Canada is rapidly decaying and a Sunday drive on Highway 93 shows you the full impact of an old road dealing with new realities. These roads were not built with current traffic levels in mind and have become unsafe, economically inefficient and unsustainable in terms of the additional costs to cure certain deficiencies.

Highways managers and engineers will determine priorities and our role will be to provide the tools to ensure consistent investment in these fundamentals The recently announced Liberal infrastructure plan with increased long term funding for public transit, social and green infrastructure, means the New Building Canada Fund can prioritize investments in roads and bridges. This allows us to begin a comprehensive process to make repairs and improvements without having to wait for election handouts.

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.?

If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The Columbia River Treaty has had significant impacts here in the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin. Substantial sacrifices were made by residents during the creation of the dams and reservoirs, and impacts continue as a result of hydro operations.

In 2012, the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments formed a committee to ensure that all area residents had a say in the future of the Treaty. As a member of that committee I participated in extensive public meetings that resulted in a report that contained recommendations to the Provincial and Federal governments.

I am proud to have played a role in ensuring that the voices of Kootenay Columbia residents were heard in the potential renewal of the Treaty. The role of the Federal government should be to support the collective voices of Basin residents and to seek to ensure that the recommendations are implemented.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

The Trans Canada Highway upgrade requires coordination between Federal and Provincial governments, and a divided highway from Sicamous to the Alberta border must be a priority.

As Mayor of Cranbrook, I participated in the Highway 3 Mayor’s Committee that coordinates funding for Highway 3 from the Alberta border to Hope, so I am very familiar with issues along this corridor, and have partnered with others to find solutions.

We need to work on strategies to better protect both motorists and wildlife on area highways, which have consistently had one of the highest collision rates in the Province. Wildlife awareness systems using new technology should be investigated for all our highways.

We also need to ensure adequate funding and enforcement of contract standards for winter highway maintenance, and we need more enforcement capability for our RCMP conducting year-round highway patrols.

Kootenay residents rely heavily on our highway systems, and ensuring safety and reliability must be a top priority.

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) has no expiry date, but has a minimum length of 60 years, which is met in 2024. One or both countries wishing to terminate the CRT must give at least 10 years notice.

September 2014 was the earliest date to announce intent to terminate the CRT by 2024. An alteration of only one clause of the CRT would create a termination, resulting in negotiation of a new treaty. At this time, neither nation has indicated intention to terminate the CRT. The CRT is an important agreement between Canada and the United States, which has helped both countries effectively manage flood control, downstream irrigation and power generation on the trans-boundary Columbia River for the past 50 years. We look forward to working with the United States as it completes its own review process of the CRT. As we look to the future of the Treaty, the Government of Canada, in close cooperation with British Columbia, will ensure that Canada and BC will continue to benefit from the Treaty What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

The Kootenay-Columbia constituency is unique in that the TransCanada Highway (TCH) flows through three National Parks and Hwy #93 flows through Kootenay Nat’l Park. The federal government has sole responsibility for the TCH and Hwy93 through the parks.

Since 2011, I have worked closely with the Environment Minister to secure over $300 million in funding for projects within the four national parks. The majority of that funding went to highway upgrades. Current projects include tunnel lighting (east of Rogers Pass), repaving sections of highway in all four parks, bridge rehabilitation and animal fencing. With the exception of the TCH through the National Parks, all highways within British Columbia are provincial jurisdiction. Each year the provincial government sets its priority list for highway projects throughout BC. It then proceeds with projects based on the budget as set out by the Provincial Minister.

In cooperation with the Province of BC, joint funding has resulted in projects such as the Donald Bridge twinning and Overpass and bridge replacements on Highway #3. I will continue to work with federal and provincial ministries to produce results for Kootenay-Columbia.

This response has been edited for length

Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

The Columbia River Treaty was one of the most devastating projects to be undertaken in the region on environment, economy, First Nations and private property rights.

Within a few years of the treaty the Sinixt First Nations were conveniently declared extinct by the government despite the fact they were and still are a thriving culture. Salmon runs, sacred sites and fertile lands were flooded. Around 5,000 individuals private property was violated and flooded leaving them displaced with a minimal compensation for their homes. Government should never have the authority to force people out of their homes and off their lands.

Over 100,000 animals’ habitat was destroyed from the flooding. Economically the impact was far more negative than estimated, the revenue from hydroelectric dams did not match the initial costs associated with building the infrastructure, compensation for the people who were displaced or the estimated losses that were never taken into consideration of the fertile lands for agriculture and forestry. As a result funds were taken from schools,healthcare and forest services.

That being said, no I do not think Ottawa should have involvement in Columbia River Treaty negotiations. They will be mainly considering monetary positions and will not be personally affected by any decisions made. I believe that only parties who are directly affected by all aspects of an agreement such as this should have an active role in negotiations.

What solutions do you see to make regional highways (TransCanada, Hwy 93/95, Hwy 3) safer and more reliable?

Through creating strong local economies, keeping our tax dollars locally will enable us to afford much needed safety upgrades and infrastructure for the roads we drive. Going through the bureaucratic filter in Ottawa for funding is an exhausting and lengthy process, meanwhile the roads remain in need of repairs while the requests for funding continues to be bogged down in the political mire.

Provinces and municipalities have a greater understanding of the particular needs in their area then anyone across the country in Ottawa.

RCMP Report: Break in at the Field Hall Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Break & Enters The Golden-Field RCMP are investigating a break & enter at the community hall in Field which is believed to have occurred sometime either on August 30 or 31. An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen from inside the building. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Golden-Field RCMP at 250-344-2221 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Police are also asking anyone with information regarding another break & enter contact them or Crimestoppers after receiving a call on August 31 that a seasonal cabin on Black Bear Rd. had been broken into. The owner of the property advised that a number of items including alcohol were missing.

Home Disturbance Police were called to a residence on Sept.

3 at approximately 3:30 a.m. after it was reported that a female was continuously knocking on the wrong door of the residence on Kallman Rd. The female was reportedly intoxicated and had left on foot by the time police arrived. Police were able to locate the female who was heavily intoxicated a short distance away. The 37 year-old female from Golden was transported to the Golden Hospital by Ambulance where she was kept overnight for observation. No charges are expected in relation to the disturbance.

Transient at GSS A 25 year-old transient male from Salmon Arm was asked to find alternate accommodations on September 4 after it was reported to police that he was sleeping outside one of the entrances to the Golden Secondary School. Staff from the school contacted police to have the male moved as they were expecting students to arrive shortly for a tour.

Passenger Removed On September 4 police were called to the Greyhound bus station to assist with removing a passenger who had become intoxicated on the bus while travelling from Calgary. “Police responded and the driver informed them

that he had received several complaints from other passengers who were uncomfortable with the male’s behaviour,” said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury, with the Golden-Field RCMP. The male was co-operative with the driver and police and opted to sober up and wait for the next westbound bus.

Complaints at Cedar Police received to two separate complaints at Cedar Lake during the September long weekend.

The first complaint was received on Saturday at approximately 2:30 a.m. regarding excessively loud music coming from one of the campsites with the other coming in on Sunday just before 1 a.m. In both instances police spoke with the parties regarding the complaint and all agreed to quiet down.

No further complaints were received after the warnings were given.

Driver Fell Asleep Police and BC Ambulance responded to a single vehicle collision on Highway 1 near Quartz Creek on September 5. The driver indicated to police that he had fallen asleep causing the vehicle to leave the roadway before rolling. Both the driver and passenger were transported to the Golden Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries and released.

Fuel Stolen on Highway On September 6, police were called to a business on Highway 1 Frontage Road after the owner noticed that two vehicles parked overnight had their gas tanks drilled and approximately $1000 worth of fuel stolen.

Police are asking anyone with information contact them or Crimestoppers.

Driver Gets Friend’s Vehicle Impounded A 35 year-old male from Golden had a friends’ vehicle impounded for 30 days after police conducted a traffic stop on September 7, and the driver failed a roadside alcohol screening device test. Police first noticed the vehicle travelling without any lights at approximately 2:30 a.m. and a traffic stop was initiated. The driver also received a 90 day driving prohibition, however he did not hold a valid driver’s licence which resulted

in him receiving an additional $276 Violation Ticket.

Fatality in Yoho On Sept. 10, at approximately 6:30 a.m., the Golden-Field RCMP was advised of a single vehicle collision on the TransCanada Highway near Takkakaw Falls east of Field. Officers arrived to find a single vehicle had left the highway and entered the ditch. The 55 year-old female driver from Calgary was found to be deceased upon police arrival. There are currently no witnesses to the incident so it is unknown what time the collision may have occurred or the cause of it. Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the collision contact the Golden RCMP Traffic Services Unit at 250-344- 2221.

Fight at ‘Flats’ Two local youths are set to appear in court on October 7 to answer to assault charges stemming from a fight at a ‘flats’ party on September 8. Police were called just before 2:00 am and advised that a female youth had been assaulted while attending the party.

The victim was brought to the Golden Hospital and received treatment for serious but non-life threatening injuries. “The file remains under investigation at this time,” said Cst. Lainchbury.

“We are still looking to speak with several witnesses, and would ask that anyone who may have witnessed the fight who hasn’t already spoken with us call the detachment.”

Mischief near Hoodoo Police are asking anyone with information regarding a mischief file near the Hoodoo Campground entrance contact them or Crimestoppers after it was reported on Sept. 9 that approximately $50,000 in damage was done to a number of signs when an excavator parked at that location was taken and driven in to the signs. A reward may be offered through Crimestoppers for any information that leads to an arrest.

Driver Fled Scene Police issued a $368 Violation Ticket to a 27 year-old male from Abbotsford after police allege that he failed to remain at the scene of a collision on Oberg Johnson Road

on September 11. Witnesses indicated that the vehicle had rolled over before the driver fled the scene. Police were able to locate the driver later in the day attempting to leave town at which point he was issued the ticket.

Watch to be Claimed Local police are looking to find the owner of a ladies Fossil watch which was turned in to them on September 12. “The person who turned the item in had received the watch as a gift and believed that it was most likely stolen,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The watch can be claimed by calling the RCMP Detachment and providing a description.

Breach of Probation Police will be forwarding charges against a local youth alleging that she breached her bail conditions by consuming alcohol after they allegedly found her intoxicated on Sept.12.

The female had been arrested and released earlier in the week and was bound by a set of conditions. The youth is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 7 to answer to the charges.

Collision with Cyclist Police are looking to speak with the driver of a black SUV which is believed to have been involved in a collision with a young cyclist on 9th Street South on Sept. 13. The 13 yearold cyclist was upset and yelling at the driver when it drove off without providing information or assistance. The cyclist was treated for minor injuries at the Golden Hospital. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is also asked to contact the RCMP .

Traffic Services The Golden RCMP Traffic Services unit impounded a tractor trailer unit on September 2. Police allege that the driver was travelling at 130km/h in an 80km/h zone at 5 mile hill, east of Golden. The driver also received a $368 Violation Ticket.

A 53 year-old from Radium had his licence suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for 30 days on September 5 after police allege he failed a roadside alcohol screening device test. “A traffic stop was conducted by traffic services officers who noted the vehicle did

not have a front licence plate,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “The officer noted signs of impairment during the stop which led to the alcohol screening test.”

A 35 year-old male from Jaffrey is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 18 on a number of charges including Impaired Driving, Flight from Police, Dangerous Driving and Breach of Undertaking resulting from a traffic stop on Sept. 11.

“We initially received a call that a vehicle was seen leaving a gas station and that the caller believed the driver was impaired,” says Cst. Lainchbury.

“Local traffic services officers were looking for the vehicle and observed it pass them on 10th Ave. N., where they attempted to conduct a traffic stop.”

Police then allege that the driver fled in the vehicle but was stopped a short distance later.

Once arrested, police determined that he was currently on conditions not to have contact with the passenger.

He was brought back to the Detachment where police obtained breath samples in relation to the Impaired Driving charges and was released on documents requiring his appearance in court.

Gender Violence

opinion

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 The Golden Star

Refugee Program Editor,

This Friday the Golden Women’s Resource Centre (GWRC) is hosting their annual Take Back the Night event, a march that takes place worldwide to keep hammering the message that violence against women needs to stop.

This year the message will carry even more - I SURMISE weight than usual, as

By Jessica Schwitek this is an election year and gender-based violence has become an election issue.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair has pledged to end violence against women, and specifically curb violence against aboriginal women through funding ($40 million over four years)for shelters and transition homes for women and families fleeing violence.

He made the announcement in Saskatchewan, which holds the highest rate of “intimate partner violence” with rates that more than double Ontario and Quebec.

The Conservatives and Stephen Harper have also pledged to continue providing $92.5 million for on-reserve shelters throughout the country.

The GWRC has been tackling the issue locally for years, trying to identify Golden’s specific needs to curb domestic violence. A gender-based analysis conducted in 2012 has given them some clear priorities and goals for the community.

Most of the 17 recommendations that came out of the analysis focused on education and prevention.

I think it’s great that the government is pledging to support shelters, a vital support for people fleeing violence who have nowhere else to go. It is absolutely essential. But it’s not going to fix the problem.

Shelters, out of necessity, are private and secretive. They provide help to people who need it, but do so behind closed doors, and cannot prevent the violence from happening in the first place.

Only awareness and education can do that.

And the best way to make the education effective is to get it out at an early age. Stop the cycle of violence before it starts.

The GWRC has specifically pinpointed engaging youth and young boys to teach them about gender-based bullying and violence, and to discuss the reasons why these incidents often go unreported.

These long-term solutions to violence will, in the end, be the most effective, and I hope that whoever comes out ahead after the election saves some money in the budget. Then maybe one day the shelters will lose their usefulness.

Canada’s refugee sponsorship program has been decimated by the Conservative government. What was once an effective, responsive and compassionate system is broken.

Ironically, it was a Progressive Conservative government that established Canada’s unique Private Sponsorship of Refugees program in response to the Boat People crisis of 1979.

The result? Canadians sponsored 35,000 refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in just the first two years of the program. In 1986 the United Nations awarded the Nansen Medal to “the people of Canada” for their service to refugees – the only time the award has gone to an entire country.

There are many other examples of quick and decisive action by previous federal governments. In 1999, for instance, Canada took extraordinary measures to evacuate 5,500 Kosovar refugees from the former Yugoslavia.

Here in the Kootenays, people have responded with exceptional generosity over the past 30 years, sponsoring and resettling well over 200 refugees in Kimberley, Cranbrook, Wasa, Invermere, Fairmont, Fernie, Sparwood, Golden, Creston, Nelson, Rossland, Trail and Castlegar.

The Syrian crisis has reminded us there are millions of refugees around the world waiting for our help. Many have been languishing in refugee camps for decades – the average stay is 17 years! Some of these people could be living here as our neighbours, contributing to our economy, and sharing the life we are so privileged to enjoy.

So, for the benefit of whichever political party forms our next government – and in the sincere hope that Canada will restore its former place in the world – we suggest the following very do-able changes to current Conservative policy and regulation.

Eliminate barriers to private sponsorship, including immediate removal of all caps and limits to the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program.

Waive the refugee documentation requirement for Groups of Five sponsorships.

Fast-track Syrian refugees who have family in Canada.

Restore full Interim Federal Health coverage for refugees resettled in Canada.

Maintain priority for refugees who have been in camps for more than 10 years.

Golden point of view

Do you feel like it was a busier summer than usual in Golden this year?

Stars to my daughter April for throwing me a birthday party!

Moatan Dhami

Bernice Mitchell

Tammy McDonough

“Oh yeah. It was quite busy, better than the last few years.”

“I don’t think it was. Not as much as I’ve seen before.”

“Yes, it seemed busier. There were a lot of activities in town and things going on.”

To the editor, I kept a journal during my time in Afghanistan.

I stopped writing in August 2008 after one of my best mates was killed in a Taliban rocket attack.

My military career ended shortly after I was diagnosed with PTSD. I came home to no support network, no career, and I had no idea where to start. I called Veterans Affairs Canada, but weeks went by without the benefits I was entitled to and without any income. I know that many vets reach out looking for someone to talk to, but often find their calls ignored, blocked, or dropped.

I live in Ottawa, so I could walk into the Veterans Affairs offices and request to see my case manager. After months of red tape, hours on hold, and giving me the run-around, I finally got some help. That’s not an option for many of us, since Harper closed nine service centres for veterans across the country.

Justin Trudeau unveiled his plan for veterans and their families last week. If the support he’s promising existed when I was released from the Army, I’d have had a pension and four paid years of school waiting for me. I wouldn’t have had to work while struggling with my health. The enhanced financial support Liberals are offering would have made all the difference. My wife would be eligible for support which would help her cope with my stress injury. I could have accessed one of the Centres of Excellence Mr. Trudeau is proposing and found the real support I desperately needed.

This is why I support the Liberals and their comprehensive plan that will give veterans a real future.

I may have stopped writing my journal, but I’m glad I kept it. Those pages remind me that my time in Afghanistan meant something; that the sacrifices I made for Canadians made a difference. Now, I’m working to make it right for my mates and for everyone after me.

BC poised to lead country in GDP growth BCCPA Submitted B.C.’s economy is set to lead the country as demand for our exports continue to grow.

“In 2014, our provincial real GDP growth rate increased to 2.7 per cent, second only to Alberta’s growth rate of 4.5 per cent. Despite a sharp decline in oil and commodity prices and global economic uncertainties, B.C. is poised to lead the rest of the provinces, with a projected GDP growth rate ranging between 2.2 and 3.0 per cent in 2015,” said Richard Rees, FCPA, FCA, President and CEO of CPABC. “This is due to growing demand for B.C.’s exports, which accounted for 38 per cent of the province’s GDP in 2013.”

According to the BC Check-Up, a report issued by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC), total exports of our commodities amounted to $35.8 billion in 2014, a 7.1 per cent increase over the previous year. As of June 2015, the value of BC exports reached close to $18 billion. If the trend continues, our province will be on track to another record year of exports. Our province’s top five export commodity groups are forest products, pulp and paper, energy, metallic minerals, and machinery and equipment and they accounted for a majority of all exports last year. Recovering softwood lumber and pulp and paper markets, particularly in the United States, drove B.C.’s export values of these product groups upwards in 2014 and continued into 2015. Forest product exports to the United States increased by $23.6 million to $5.1 billion and accounted for almost 30 per cent of total exports to the United States between June 2014 and 2015.

“Growing demand for our resources and goods will create more employment opportunities for B.C. residents. Our labour market saw an overall gain of 12,800 jobs last year, with the goods sector accounting for 7,800 new jobs. This helped to drive our unemployment rate down to 6.1 per cent, which was lower than the national average of 6.9 per cent,” continued Rees, “The greatest gains occurred in the manufacturing industry, which saw a gain of 9,700 jobs in 2014. Between January and July of this year, the industry gained another 5,800 jobs.

The growth can be attributed to an increase in the value of our machinery and equipment exports among other manufactured goods. Export value of machinery and equipment increased by 27.2 per cent to over $453 million between June 2014 and 2015.”

Another sign of our economy’s strength is the increasing number of residents from other provinces who have moved to British Columbia. Last year, B.C.’s population expanded by 48,677 new residents to reach 4.63 million, of which approximately 10,000 new residents were from other provinces. As of June 2015, our province’s population growth is outpacing the national average for the first time. This is due to a growing number of Ontarians and other Canadians relocating to the province, which more than offset a slowing of international immigration.

Quick Facts on B.C.’s economy in 2014: B.C.’s unemployment rate fell by 0.5 percentage points to 6.1 per cent, which is below the national average of 6.9 per cent.

Labour compensation per employee increased by 2.1 per cent to $52,321. The national average increased by 0.9 per cent to $55,841. While our province has enjoyed relatively high real income gains compared to rest of Canada, it still has some catching up to do.

Consumer debt per capita increased only by 0.5 per cent to $58,621. While our consumer debt is above the national average of $49,624, B.C. had the slowest annual rate of increase compared to the rest of Canada.

Art exhibit at AGOG examines environmental issues in B.C. Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The newest exhibit at the Art Gallery of Golden goes beyond art and delves into an important environmental issue in British Columbia.

Let Them Run, The Salmon Century combines the work of more than 20 artists through the Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society (SWSS) to shed light on the challenges, benefits and success stories of salmon reintroduction in the Columbia River.

“Since the ice age Columbia River salmon have functioned as a major cultural, spiritual, economic, and environmental influence. Once the largest run of salmon in the world, that migration was abruptly sacrificed in the late 1930s with the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam,” said Gerry Nellestijn (co-ordinator for the SWSS) in a forward for the travelling exhibit.

The construction of that dam led to the formation of the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the U.S. And it’s that very treaty which is currently under review.

“The treaty review now taking place represents the single most important opportunity to make real environmental change in our lifetime,” said Nellestijn.

“On May 8th and 9th, 2014, twenty-one artists came together for the Let Them Run, The Salmon Century experiential learning adventure that focused on water, the Columbia River Treaty, and the challenges, benefits and successes of Salmon Reintroduction. Gaining insights, artists were asked to use their skills to create artwork that defines the meaning, challenges and benefits of Salmon Reintroduction so that they can bring awareness to Basin residents of a loss that can be regained.”

The exhibit will remain at the AGOG until Oct. 14.

Sockeye Salmon, by Robin Wiltse, will be among the work featured in AGOG’s new exhibit Let Them Run, The Salmon Century.

The Net Result: Another feather in director Christopher Nolan’s cap

Matthew McConaughey puts in one of his best performances in Christopher Nolan’s space travel epic Interstellar.

Paramount Pictures Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net “Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here.”

To ensure that statement comes to fruition, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) leaves his two kids and joins a team from NASA to undertake the adventure of a lifetime, interstellar travel. It’s an incredible sacrifice that becomes increasingly pro-

nounced as time progresses.

And time is at the forefront of Interstellar’s themes. The Christopher Nolan flick explores the fourth dimension in multiple, unique ways.

The film opens on an apocalyptic Earth, where a changed climate has brought massive dust storms to much of the world and killed off entire crops, leaving corn as the only consistent source

of food.

Due to this desperation for survival, several generations are known as “caretakers” for the planet, rather than innovators.

Only the very brightest students go to university, the rest are pigeon-holed for the agricultural industry. The world doesn’t need engineers, as one school principal explains, it needs farmers.

Cooper is a former

engineer and pilot who has been forced to get in line with the rest of humanity and produce as much corn as he can. He’s also tasked with raising his daughter Murphy and his son Tom after his wife dies.

His daughter’s curiosity about some strange occurrences in her room lead her and Cooper to discover that NASA still exists and is working secretly out of a remote bunker. Cooper, who is known to the organization for his prowess as a pilot, becomes their choice to lead a desperate mission to another galaxy in a search for a new home.

Cooper recognizes that this is his best chance to provide his kids with a better life and makes the gutwrenching decision to leave them behind, not knowing if he’ll ever be able to return.

All that lies between the NASA team and a new home for the people on earth are millions and millions of miles and a whole chunk of time. Their initial mission to the rings of Saturn takes two years, and that’s just the start of it.

Interstellar does its best to remain faithful to what we know about

space and time. I’m clearly no expert in the field, but the story is based off of research by theoretical physicist Kip Thorne and apparently they took great care to ensure that it was as accurate as possible, although quite understandably much of the film is based in theory.

There are certainly some intriguing theories sprinkled throughout the film, some of them particu-

larly mind-bending.

It helps make Interstellar a film with both entertainment value and substance, a rare commodity of late.

Hans Zimmer, a regular voice in Nolan’s films, is there again with possibly his best work yet, creating a soundtrack that helps define the film.

Last year was a tremendous year for mov-

ies, with Whiplash, Foxcatcher, Still Alice and The Imitation Game among my personal favourites. Interstellar might just be the best of the bunch. It’s a must-watch and if you happened to catch it during its theatrical release, it’s worth a repeat viewing.

Interstellar is deserving of 10 mouse clicks out of 10.

A good education starts with strong vision.

Rockets open regular season with losses to Kamloops, Kimberley Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Rockets came out flat in both of their first two games of the regular season. By the time they found their legs, and a touch of chemistry, it was too late to salvage either their home opener on Friday night against the Kamloops Storm or their game the following night in Kimberley against the defending champions.

On Friday, there were numerous fresh faces in the Rockets’ lineup, many playing with each other for the first time after some late roster adjustments following a brief training camp and exhibition season.

It showed early on, as the Storm took control in the game’s opening minutes and peppered Rockets goaltender Mark Becica with several quality scoring chances.

“I knew it was going to be an ugly start and

I was just hoping that things would calm themselves down,” said head coach Jason Stephens.

Becica, who was nursing an injury during the pre-season and seeing his first live game action of the season, says he didn’t mind the extra work early in the first.

“It’s always nice when you can get right in there and get some shots…when you don’t see a shot for 10 minutes your feet are kind of cold.

It was definitely nice to get some shots early,” Becica said.

At the end of the opening 20 minutes, the Storm held a 12-5 shot advantage that was very indicative of the play, but Becica held the Rockets in it and the teams remained tied 0-0.

The Storm continued to push the play in the second, but it was the Rockets who eventually broke through when newcomer Jordan ReidWhyte fired a shot from the half boards

that somehow found its way past Storm goaltender Jacob Mullen.

The lead was shortlived and two minutes later the Storm scored a pair of goals against Becica just over a minute apart.

They added another midway through the third to give themselves a two goal cushion that would prove to be vital as the Rockets seemed to finally find their game during the latter half of the period.

Supplying much of the fireworks for Golden was local rookie Jake Gudjonson, who was playing in his first KIJHL regular season game.

Gudjonson looked comfortable throughout and nearly notched a shorthanded goal in the second.

That earned him the confidence of his coach, and he was promoted to the top line alongside captain Ian Desrosier and Mathew Thiessen. “(Gudjonson) played great all night.

He’s going to be a key

The Rockets got some offense from their captain Ian Desrosier (above) and impressive rookie Jake Gudjonson but it wasn’t enough to get the team’s first win of the young season.

Joel Tansey/Star Photos member here this year,” Stephens said.

The move to the top line paid dividends immediately, and Gudjonson tallied his first KIJHL goal with 7:47 to go in the third.

“We were working the puck down low, (Desrosier) passed the puck to Thiessen and then just right out front, right there I saw the puck, just slapped it. I didn’t even aim,” he laughed.

It was a special moment for the 16 year-old Goldenite, who recalls skating with the Rockets when he was just five years old. He received a large cheer from the Rockets faithful

when his name was announced as the goal scorer.

“I can’t even explain it. It’s the most exciting thing I’ve ever done…it’s just a fantastic experience to get my first goal in my first game on home ice,” Gudjonson said.

The Rockets failed to find the tying marker over the final minutes and the Storm added a late empty netter to cap the scoring with a 4-2 win.

Quite clearly, the Rockets played their best hockey in the third, outshooting their opponents by a 10-7 count.

“I think we got better and better as the

(game) went on and we got to the third here and I thought we played real well,” Stephens said.

The following night the Rockets were on hand as the Kimberley Dynamiters raised their championship banner to the rafters.

Perhaps the moment got the best of the young Rockets squad, as they surrendered the game’s first five goals, the fourth of which chased Becica out of the Golden net.

“You can’t blame a goalie fully…there’s five other players on the ice that had to get beat for that puck to get to the net,” Stephens said.

“I’m not disappointed with how our goalies played (Saturday) night but I’m not overly thrilled with the performance put in.”

Chandler Billinghurst made 23 saves on 25 shots in relief and the Rockets found some offence early in the third period courtesy of Desrosier and rookie forward Emerson Pugh.

Again, it wasn’t enough to affect the outcome, and the Rockets fell 6-2.

The Rockets have a quiet weekend scheduled with just a single game on the schedule, a home contest on Saturday night against the Castlegar Rebels.

Cover to Cover: Frozen in Death Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net You’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover but let’s be realistic, everyone does.

Jo Ann Creore’s mystery novel Frozen in Death makes a profound first impression with its depiction of a rugged mountain peak and the eye-catching subtitle “A Tale of Murder and Survival in the Canadian Rockies.”

Creore’s story revolves around Mora, a widowed adventurer and mountaineer who undertakes a journey through the Rockies in Banff National Park in honour of her recently deceased husband. Her trip begins ominously, with the retired professor surviving a harrowing encounter with a grizzly bear and a cougar in her trip’s first couple of days.

As the cover would suggest, her journey is about to become even more treacherous.

She soon encounters a young couple, Erin and Rod, who are alone near the summit of an unforgiving mountain, having had their camp and

supplies stolen while their guide had gone missing. Mora is barely able to rescue them and bring them to safety at her own camp. She later realizes that one of her old friends happened to be the couple’s guide.

Knowing that Hans would never purposefully abandon his clients, Mora goes out to search for her friend, fearing the worst.

She finds him dead from an apparent fall, but there are some circumstances that make his death appear rather suspicious.

Drawing on her own extensive experience in the mountains, Creore has crafted a classic page-turner that combines elements of mystery and mountaineering.

In that sense, it has a great deal of appeal. It’s a plot that will keep readers engaged and curious.

The one weakness I see is Creore’s dialogue writing. There are simply some instances where her characters, which are mostly crafted nicely, sound unnatural in how they speak.

The book would have benefited from less dialogue and could have relied

Frozen in Death lives up to its eye-catching cover as a true page-turner.

on paraphrasing instead of having its characters engage in, at times, longwinded conversations with each other.

Overall, Creore has crafted an intriguing mystery with a touch of local flair given its setting and characters. It’s a creative and relatively quick read.

Q – I always find my kid gets sick within the first two weeks of school. Do you have any suggestions to help strengthen my child’s immunity and maybe decrease the number of sick days we need to face this year?

A – Back to school is always a transition.

Especially when the kids go from days spent in wide open spaces to days spent in close quarters.

This is a great time to review with your kids healthy habits that they can form to keep their immune systems strong. In the excitement of going back to school it is easy to forget the basics of hand washing and coughing into your sleeve.

This is also a great time to make some other basic lifestyle changes to help boost their

dren receiving probiotics and these children also missed fewer days of childcare or school.

If your child is one that seems to be getting every illness that enters the classroom, you may want to consider an immune support herbal supplement that is designed for kids. One that I recommend frequently is Deep Immune Kids from St. Francis Herb Farm. This formula contains two of the gentlest immuneenhancing herbs commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Astragalus and Codonopsis.

Traditionally, Astragalus is used to strengthen and regulate the immune system and has been shown to be antibacterial, antiviral, antiinflammatory and has antioxidant activity. As with any medications, it is best to consult with your health care professional before giving your child any new health product.

Keep kids healthy for back to school immune systems.

Adequate sleep is vital for little bodies to fight off germs. The Canadian Pediatric Society recommends school aged children (5-10 years of age) get 10-12 hours per night.

Poor or inadequate sleep can also lead to mood swings, as well as difficulty focusing and learning.

Nutrition is also vital in immune function. Dark coloured berries (such as blueberries, raspberries and blackberries) contain antioxidants called anthocyanins, which can help the immune system to work more effectively against viral infections. By substituting a sugar rich snack in your child’s lunch with some berries, you are not only preventing the damage done to the immune system by sugar, but helping it to become stronger.

Another lunch friendly food that is great for the immune system is yogurt. Yogurt contains probiotics, or “good” bacteria. A 2009 study showed that duration of symptoms and use of antibiotics were reduced in chil-

Faith Column: Jesus, our hero Pastor Tim Schneider Trinity Lutheran Church Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, the Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Professor X, Wolverine, Superman, our movie screens have been filled with superheroes these days. And there's just more coming. I think between Marvel and DC we've got at least two or three superhero movies coming each year for the foreseeable future.

And for good reason, we love superhero movies.

We gobble them up like candy.

Have you ever wondered why we love superheroes so much? I've just been speaking about movies, but there's a whole other world when you start talking about comics. What's the big deal?

I caught myself thinking about this a few days ago. I came to the conclusion that on some level, we all know that the world is messed up. Things aren't the way it should be. Good people suffer, while bad people seem to prosper. This past week we've seen that kind of suffering hit the centre stage spotlight with pictures of a little boy lying dead on a beach, drowning while trying to run away from war and suffering being plastered all over the news media. These things shouldn't happen. On some base level we all know that.

Enter the superhero, who swoops in, if only in fiction, and through courage, strength, ingenuity, and perseverance rights the wrongs, saves the day, and ends the suffering. Even if this might only happen in fiction, it brings us comfort to see these heroes save the world.

But, as I said, this is only fiction. We leave the world of make believe and find that our world still hasn't changed. We need help. We need a hero. We need a saviour. So God sends us Jesus.

God the Father sends to us His Son to do what we could not. He saves the world. He enters into a battle with sin, with suffering, and with death itself, and they don't stand a chance. For Jesus is God, and when He speaks sin, suffering, and even death must obey. You see! Even Jesus has superpowers, it's His Word! It forgives sin, even your sin. It speaks comfort into suffering, even your suffering. It raises the dead as if they were sleeping.

But that's not even Jesus' greatest superpower.

His greatest superpower is found on the cross, in His death, and in His resurrection. Because death that He died was for you. His death, even though it was so long ago, paid for you. With His death Jesus died for all your guilt, every little bit of it, all that eternal weight He bore for you. And in His death, He fought death. And He won. He rose from the grave, that's a fact. He died, but now He lives, never to die again. Our worst enemy, death, is defeated. Jesus, our hero, has gone to fight for us and He won. He gives that victory to you in His Word. Trust that Word. Jesus is your saviour, your superhero.

If you have any questions about this, or would like to talk to me about it, I invite you to call me at Trinity Lutheran Church.

Adrienne married Craig Madill in 2011 and presented Frances with her first grandson, Charlie Woodrow Madill (13 months). Ian married Sarah Woolgar in 2013. Wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, poet, and author, Frances will be sorely missed by many. In living memory of Frances Hern, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park, Calgary in September 2016. Please visit McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes webiste to view a more descriptive obituary, including one of many poems written by Frances reflecting on her diagnosis.

The family would like to invite her friends to a celebration of Frances’ life on Saturday, October 10th 2015 between 2 and 6 pm at The Island Restaurant, Golden, British Columbia.

You can find a copy of Frances’ obituary at: http://www.mhfh.com/hern-frances/

Connie Read of Agate Beach, OR passed away on Wednesday, August 5th, 2015, at the age of 80. She had had a number of illnesses and injuries over the last 13 years, most recently Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) & lung cancer. She spent most of her life as a teacher, principal, and choir & musical director. Wherever she went, she spread the joy of music and of life.

Constance JoAnne Drury was born on March 6th, 1935, in Coburg to Franklin James and Lillian (Stolsig) Drury. The family moved to Eugene in 1940, and Connie graduated from Eugene High School in 1953 and received a Bachelor of Music from the University of Oregon in 1962. She later went back to the UO and earned her Masters of Music in 1968…she was a lifelong Duck! Through her life, she taught at every level from kindergarten through college, from Veneta, OR, to Rainier, OR, to Plymouth, NH, back to Eugene (North), then up into Alberta (including Gift Lake, Keg River, and Foremost) and British Columbia (Golden). Connie moved back to Oregon in 1996, and she finished her teaching career at Taft Elementary.

She always dreamed that she would retire on the Oregon Coast, and she was able to fulfill that dream, settling in Agate Beach in 2002.

In her “retirement” she was the choir director at Atonement Lutheran Church in Newport up until a year ago. And she became involved with local theater in Newport; she was the musical director for “Annie” and “Grease”, and she directed “The Music Man” in 2005. The latter turned out to be the 98th (and final) musical production with which she was involved in her life.

In 2003, her heart stopped early one morning while she was at a church meeting. Because of that incident, Connie had a pacemaker for the rest of her life. In following years, she suffered a broken hip, broken neck, COPD, breast cancer, and finally the diagnosis of inoperable lung cancer in July. The doctors gave her 1-6 months, and in her usual independent spirit, she didn’t have the patience to wait that long. Per her wishes, Connie was cremated, and she will be united once more with her beloved Golden Retrievers, Jake and Luke, “at a place where we can see the ocean.”

She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Jon & Francine Read, her grandson Brandon, her sister and brother-in-law Judy & Marvin Trotter, her brother Bob Drury…and many people whose lives she touched through the years. Her memorial/celebration of life service will be held at 2 p.m. at Atonement Lutheran Church in Newport, OR on Saturday, September 12th. Remembrances should go the American Lung Association and/or the ASPCA.

Starhoroscopes

Sep. 16 to Sep. 22

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, explore a new way of thinking and keep an open mind. Maintain energy and enthusiasm about a new project. Your energy will inspire others to get moving.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 You are still in love with that special someone after all of these years, Libra. Share your good fortune with others and you may inspire some new relationships in the process.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You may need to get a little pushy to get what you need, Taurus. Don’t overdo it, but don’t hesitate to insert yourself into certain situations this week.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it may be difficult to avoid conflict this week, but do your best to smooth over the situation. Try not to escalate any encounters and add fuel to the fire.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 This is a good week to share your positive thoughts and hopes with others. It’s advantageous to have as many people on your side as you can.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, give something frivolous a try this week. You may find it takes your mind off of other things and restores some of your natural joviality.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you have many things to do in the coming days, but you can still manage to have fun along the way. Schedule some rest and rejuvenation once the week has passed.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, someone is proud of all you have accomplished. Don’t feel badly about bragging a little about the things you have done. It’s good to also be proud of yourself.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you learn something new this week, it very well may be something important, Leo. Stay attuned to the things going on around you, so you know when to act.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, your generosity knows no bounds this week. All that you do unselfishly will come back in spades. Keep up your charitable efforts.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Getting your point across will be difficult this week, Virgo. Take a patient approach and give others the time to explain their points of view before sharing your own.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if things seem a little bit confusing this week, take some time to sit and reflect. The answers will come to you eventually.
