Elite offering exclusive new line!

Elite Nutrition has been Golden’s source for natural health products for almost 25 years, and they are continuing to wade their way through the industry to bring you the best quality products on the market.

His newest line of sports nutrition products, called FIT Supplements, is created by industry icon Randy Couture.

“I know the man who formulated these products, I’ve known him for about 20 years. I trust his work. He’s been involved in some prominent Canadian sports nutrition companies, and now he’s branched off to do his own line,” said Elite owner Mike Pecora. “It’s a super clean line, and I’m actually getting wholesale pricing.”

That means that through Elite Nutrition customers can get FIT protein powers, supplements, pre and post workout products, for

equal to or less than the prices you see online.

Also, if you have a membership with Golden’s Gym or Kicking Horse Wellness Centre, you will get a discount on any FIT product.

Elite Nutrition has been carrying the line for a few months now, and has received tremendous feedback from its users.

Through Couture’s product broker business, Pecora also has access to the top brands in sports nutrition.

“This allows me to brings in the best products and lines that are out there.”

Everyone’s health needs and goals are different, which is why there is no substitute for the expertise you can find in Elite Nutrition.

“If you can tell me what you need, and what you’re trying to get out of it, I can find you the right product,” said Pecora.

Get Results at Golden’s Gym 24/7 Sometimes the difference between success and failure is the right training.

That is why at Golden's Gym training is just part of the deal.

Owner Keefer Dondaneau wants to make sure his clients are getting the most out of their workouts.

"Most people fail because they just have no idea how to work out. It's like any sport…there's a way to do it," he says.

That is why members are given access to both workout and nutritional programs, so that they can get the results they are looking for.

Of course, all the training in the world won't help if you don't get to the gym regularly. With balancing schedules that can be difficult for some people. But Golden's Gym has you covered there as well.

Members are given key fobs so that they can work out at their convenience, 24 hours a day.

But the first step is getting off the couch and walking into the gym. Like Donaneau says, "The longer you wait, the further you're getting from your goal. Those calories aren't burning themselves. Make the commitment to be healthy. We'll be your partner every step (or plank or squat thrust) of the way."

Wet Secrets among “new” headliners at Golden Sound Fest Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net There will be plenty of returning acts for this month’s Golden Sound Festival, the final block party before the festival becomes an outdoor-

focused summer event as it was originally intended to be, but the Wet Secrets will be taking the stage at the festival for the first time.

A six-piece rock ‘n’ roll dance band, this bass and horn heavy group burst onto the scene with 2006’s A Whale of Cow, which was written within the first week of the band’s formation.

Free Candy, their 2014 LP, received a host of accolades from media, fans and award shows and won album of the year at the Edmonton Music Awards and first place in Peak Performance Alberta, which came with a six-figure prize.

The Secrets will cap off the two-day festival with a 1 a.m. show at the Civic Centre on the night of Feb. 20. Visit goldensoundfestival.com for full details.

The Wet Secrets, a quirky six-piece group out of Edmonton, will headline this year’s Golden Sound Festival with the event’s final performance on Feb. 20 at the Civic Centre.

days, unable to speak or eat on his own, his jaw having been removed from complications in

his battle with thyroid cancer, Roger Ebert continued doing what he loved to do: watch

and review movies.

And he did so with his usual flair, offering poignant commentary on the best and the worst that American and international cinema had to offer.

His final movie review, To the Wonder featuring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams, was filed just days before his 2013 death. In his review, he claimed that director Terrence Malick attempted to create a film that would evoke, rather than supply, as he tried to “reach beneath the surface and find the soul in need.”

Like Malick, Ebert operated in much the same manner as the most popular, engaging and accessible movie critic in the history of film. His story, from his beginnings at his college’s newspaper to the Chicago Sun-Times all the way to the spotlight of television, is told expertly by director Steve James through a series of interviews and archived footage in Life Itself, a documentary based on the book of the same name, which Ebert penned in 2011.

Of particular intrigue was Ebert’s often tumultuous relationship with his television counterpart, Gene Siskel. Siskel and Ebert were rivals, Siskel being the movie critic for the Chicago Tribune, before they were placed across the

aisle from each other in their widely popular film critic series.

The pair traded jabs and insults both on and off camera, but their respect for one another grew throughout their run on TV and their trademarked “Two Thumbs Up” approval became a must for any film looking to earn money at the box office.

When Siskel took ill in the late ‘90s, he hardly told a soul, and Ebert was left in the dark about his co-star’s health issues until shortly before his death.

Ebert vowed that if he were to battle an illness, he would do so in the public eye, and that’s how it played out.

He didn’t shy away from the camera even after the removal of his jaw and ultimate disfigurement.

Courageous might not be a strong enough adjective.

Life Itself dives deeply into the persona of a man who earned the respect of Hollywood by frequently, often callously, tearing it down.

Like Malick’s film, and like Ebert’s in-depth reviews, this story has many layers.

If its star were around to see it, it would have earned an emphatic Two Thumbs Up. Life Itself is worth 10 mouse clicks out of 10.

Head coach Ryan Ford was pleased with how the weekend went, and has noticed a lot of improvement in all of the team’s skiers so far this year.

“A lot of the kids started out a little bit more timid and uncertain on the skis but this weekend gave them an opportunity to see what racing is like and get more into the competitive spirit of skiing,” Ford said.

GKHAT will have its home meet on Feb. 21 at Kicking Horse.

Council debates Town’s budget consultation process at meeting Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net A less than tepid response to the Town of Golden’s annual budget consultation open house prompted some discussion from council on how the process might look in the future.

Coun. Bruce Fairley brought the topic to the forefront during the Feb. 2 council meeting.

“I think we need to re-think the budget consultation process and the enormous amount of energy and expenditure we put into a public consultation that people aren’t interested in,” Coun. Fairley said, adding that his most in-depth conversations at the Jan. 19

open house occurred with residents from Area A. “I’m not sure that there were a dozen people there from the Town of Golden,” he said.

Under legislation, municipalities are given a broad requirement to undertake a public process when it comes to its annual financial plan.

“It doesn’t state the scope, the nature of that public process so it’s up to us to determine that,” said Town CAO Jon Wilsgard.

Large municipalities might spend tens of thousands of dollars a year, while Golden has stuck to the basics including newspaper advertising, social media

engagements, invitations for public comment and an open house at the Civic Centre.

“That’s sort of the standard template out there,” Wilsgard said.

Annually, with limited feedback, it is difficult for Town staff to gage whether the public is simply apathetic or pleased with the existing financial plan and the direction of council.

“It’s always an interesting one for us, we always do the big head-scratch at the end. What did we do right? What did we do wrong? Did we do enough?” Wilsgard said.

Not including administrative time, the Town spent

approximately $1000 on its open house this year, which includes the money spent on food and the rental of the Civic Centre.

“Certainly, I think we’ll give some thought as to how we can switch things up,” Wilsgard said.

How to Use a Crosswalk

One of the major television stations from Vancouver broadcast a news story this past week about pedestrians as a follow up piece for a report on a family that was struck down in a newly marked crosswalk. The footage showed a pedestrian standing on a sidewalk facing the street as traffic drove by without slowing or stopping. In fact, it appeared to my eye that the speed of the video had been increased slightly so that the cars appeared to zoom by. The commentary by the news reader lamented that the drivers just weren’t stopping as they were supposed to. The trouble was, at least according to the law, he was not correct.

Drivers and cyclists are not required to yield to a pedestrian using a crosswalk until the pedestrian physically occupies the crosswalk. That means stepping off of the sidewalk and onto the road. It’s a lesson from one of my first visits the courtroom that I will not forget. I had written a traffic ticket to a driver for failing to yield to a pedestrian who was waiting patiently on the sidewalk for her turn to cross. It didn’t take the judge long to dismiss the ticket for want of evidence that the driver had been required to yield.

Using a crosswalk is simple. First, look both ways for approaching traffic. If it is safe to step into the crosswalk, do so, if not wait until it is. As we teach children to do, point your way across by holding your arm up and pointing to the far side. This reinforces in the driver’s mind that we intend to cross and are not just passing the time of day. Make eye contact with the driver and insure that they come to a complete stop. Step out to the edge of that vehicle and repeat the sequence at each successive lane making sure not to enter it until after traffic is stopped. Eventually, you will have safely crossed the street.

Never simply assume that you have the right of way as a pedestrian. Right of way is something that is given, not taken. As they used to say in the road safety commercials when I was growing up “You could be dead right!”

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities.

Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

Drugs, weapons seized by police here in Golden Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net On February 2, 2016 the Golden-Field RCMP conducted a traffic stop on 10th Avenue North, locating several items, including firearms, that are believed to be stolen.

As a result of the vehicle stop and items located, a search warrant was executed on a residence in the Kicking Horse Trailer Park, located just off of Golden’s 10th Avenue North, said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury, spokesperson for the Golden-Field RCMP. Police seized several items including a crossbow, firearms, and what they believe is methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and ecstasy as well as drug paraphernalia.

One male and one female, both from Golden, were arrested and are facing charges in relation to the items seized.

Both have since been released from police custody.

Area A Director discusses new community survey Karen Cathcart Area A Director My first year in office was about engaging Area A residents. We took the data from those seven months of community consultation and created a survey capturing the key issues and opportunities. The survey was released this week and will be available to residents until Feb. 19.

I heard from residents that didn’t attend the community consultation meetings that they wanted another way to engage with their regional government and to be able to participate.

The survey is another communication tool to hear from the residents. The data will be reviewed and added to the community consultation data received. At a later date, I will schedule a Community Open House to report back to the residents. The final piece of the Capacity Building Needs Assessment project will be a community visioning session. This will happen in the spring.

The on-line survey address is available at www.surveymonkey.com/r/CSRDAreaA The on-line survey can also be accessed by visiting the CSRD website: www.csrd.bc.ca and clicking on the Area A page.

Please contact me or the CSRD if you would prefer to receive a paper copy and we’ll be happy to send you one.

Watch for the article next week on how your regional government is working for you!

Rivers and wetlands take centre stage at next Mountain Festival this year. Some highlights include keynote speaker and worldrenowned explorer, Bruce Kirkby, a local film festival, and a river battle on the Kicking Horse,” said Joanne Sweeting, executive director, Tourism Golden.

“The Kicking Horse 456789 and Columbia Rivers have shaped the history of the town of Golden for centuries and have also influenced the lives of our community today. At this year’s festival, we want to raise awareness of their importance.”

The festival, which kicks off on May 20, will include a local film festival. Guests will be invited to the Golden Civic CenEvent organizer Magi Scallion and Tourism Golden’s Andy Brown went out to Columbia tre to view up to 12 films that celebrate Wetlands Adventures to announce the theme of the upcoming Golden Mountain Festival, which is Exploring our Rivers and Wetlands.

Golden hospital lacking Sonography services Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The fight for medical services in Golden is a constant struggle for hospital staff, and sometimes it has little to do with funding and a lot to do with staffing issues.

That’s the case for the current void at the Golden and District Hospital, where the facility is without a resident sonographer (an ultra sound technologist)at the moment.

Sonography goes beyond pregnancy appointments and can be used to view a variety of internal organs, such as the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and other organs.

“It’s got a lot of broad uses. It can identify serious surgical conditions like appendicitis, torted ovaries, and lifethreatening conditions like aneurysms,” said Dr. Kirk McCarroll, the chief of staff at the hospital.

Ultrasound can also be used to identify

muscle and tendon tears, a common occurrence in a town like Golden.

For many years, the sonographer role was filled by Beth Webb.

She retired a few years ago, forcing the hospital to contract a sonographer from out of town while it looked for a replacement.

Having a temporary sonographer proved to be problematic.

“That left us without one for any of the emergency situations, for which we quite heavily rely on it,” McCarroll said.

Webb, out of what McCarroll says was possibly the goodness of her heart, came out of retirement and worked for another 18 months as Golden’s lone sonographer in what was supposed to be a short-term solution. Her contact expired in December, and she retired for the second time.

That leaves the town where it was a few years ago, with a contracted sonograph-

er providing occasional services and with many Goldenites forced to make ultrasound appointments in Cranbrook.

“It’s a real burden on a lot of people,” McCarroll said.

“It’s too much to ask of people, it’s going to be a real disincentive for people to come to our community.”

There is plenty of funding for Golden to find a replacement for Webb, but few, if any, leads have been fruitful in the hospital’s search thus far.

“The challenge has been recruitment. As you might imagine, the salaries in Alberta are substantially higher than they are here and therefore that’s one of our huge stumbling blocks, because we are competing against a province that is capable of offering more financially,” McCarroll said.

McCarroll says that the hospital briefly considered the possibility of having one of their physicians

go through sonography training, but it was never a realistic option. The program takes over two years, and taking a valuable physician away from the hospital would hurt in other ways.

Instead, they’d like to hire a full-time sonographer who is pleased to live and work in the Golden area for the foreseeable future.

“Ideally our objective is to recruit a technologist to become a regular part of the medical team. I think that’s critical for our town to continue to provide the medical services that we currently have, we just rely on it so heavily for emergency services specifically…we really need to have an on-site technologist who lives here and is a regular member of the team,” McCarroll said.

The search for a new sonographer is being supported by Keep Medical Services in Golden, a Facebook group made up of

community members who have been sharing Interior Health’s job posting around social media. For full position details, visit interiorhealth.ca.

also be full of canoeing, kayaking, standup paddle boarding, guides in the wetlands, birdwatching, fishing, a river battle, and much more. However the highlight will certainly be the presentation by wilderness writer and adventure photographer Bruce Kirby.

His accomplishments include the first

modern crossing of Arabia’s Empty Quarter by camel, a raft descent of Ethiopia’s Blue Nile Gorge, a seakayak traverse of Borneo’s northern coast, and a coast-to-coast Icelandic trek.

Brain buckets: Just wear one

Quiet Process Does silence equal satisfaction?

By default, I have to say yes.

After observing Golden for the past four years, I have to admit. I am still constantly surprised. The news media is often in the middle of community unrest, so after some time on the - I SURMISE job you can’t help but try By Jessica Schwitek to predict which events and issues will get the town riled up.

I’m wrong more often than not.

Golden is a very involved and passionate community. That is one of the things that makes it great. Over the years I’ve seen groups of people fight against things they saw as wrong, and work hard to make good things happen. It is a town that is rarely quiet.

So when the local government proposes to increase their budget (by a margin of five per cent each year for the next five years), I expect to hear some opinions.

Yet...nothing.

Staff and elected officials at the Town of Golden are also a little perplexed by the lack of feedback from the residents.

They’ve even discussed whether or not the public consultation process needs to be changed up in the future.

Mayor Ron Oszust said earlier in the process that he is choosing to look at the lack of discourse as a positive sign. He is taking the silence as a sign of satisfaction, or at least contentment, and that the Town is doing a good job.

Usually people are pretty quick to speak up when they are not happy. So no comments must mean a happy populace...right?

Happy may be a stretch, but I do believe it is a sign of contentment. Lack of awareness is undoubtedly a factor as well.

But in my experience, if you are not content with the state of the community, you’re paying attention to what’s going on.

And nothing catches the people’s attention more than a potential tax hike. A five per cent budget increase does not necessarily translate into a five per cent tax increase. But if the budget goes up, taxes will likely see a bump as well.

There has been no shortage of information available. It’s been in the newspaper, social media, public meetings, open houses.

So once again I have to say, by default I have to say that this silence surrounding the way tax dollars are being spent means that the people are at ease with what is going on.

And if they’re not, then they have had plenty of chances to say so and chose not to.

Saturday at Kicking Horse offered a nearly endless array of powder turns, with plenty of snow overnight and some more falling during the day.

On my third or fourth run, I managed to find one of the few hard landings, falling miserably after taking an extremely modest amount of air off a medium sized jump, smacking my head on a portion of hardpacked snow below.

My bell was rung, but I was Joel Tansey wearing a helmet and able to Star Reporter shake of this minor setback and continue on with what proved to be a great day on the mountain.

A little over 24 hours later I arrived at a friend’s house to watch the Super Bowl and ate copious amount of food as I witnessed the Denver Broncos defeat the Carolina Panthers.

The NFL, NHL and basically any sport where hits to the head are a common occurrence, have all come under fire in recent years for the way they’ve handled concussions.

In the macho world of professional sports, nothing, even a vicious-looking head injury, was an excuse for missing work. Countless players sustained head injuries, only to return and “tough it out”. As someone who bleeds bleu, blanc et rouge - and there’s been a lot of bleeding of late if you’re a fan of the Montreal Canadiens - one of the club’s legends defined this concept.

During a heated playoff game against the Boston Bruins in the 1950s, Montreal superstar Maurice Richard

was knocked out cold midway through the game, before returning in overtime to score the winning goal. He later claimed that he had no recollection of the goal.

A great story, but one that should hopefully never happen these days, in any sport.

That’s because the dangers of concussions are becoming all too apparent as we continue to learn more and more about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

From NFL linebacker Junior Seau to NHL pugilist Derek Boogard, numerous former athletes have died prematurely in recent years, with CTE said to have been a contributing factor in some of those cases. A study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Monday, found that adults who suffer a concussion are three times more likely to die by suicide than the rest of the population. It’s a startling number, and one that comes glaringly into focus when looking at professional athletes and the football players and hockey players who suffer repeated hits to the head.

It got me wondering about my own minor injury as well.

While helmets are becoming the norm on most ski slopes, it is still all too common for me to ride up the gondola with an individual or two who isn’t wearing one.

According to most studies, helmets can help prevent skull fractures and other head injuries, but unfortunately they can’t do much to prevent a concussion.

But still, why send yourself down a mountain at speeds in excess of 60 km/h without protecting that vital organ you have inside of your skull? Having seen friends crack their helmets after particularly nasty falls, I’ll never comprehend why someone would go without one and put their own skull at risk rather than wear a piece of hard plastic that really isn’t all that uncomfortable.

Head injury is a real possibility in just about any physical sport, why not do everything you can to mitigate the risk?

Good news for tourism industry in BC as numbers continue to rise Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsible for Labour Submitted The latest international visitor numbers show tourists were falling for B.C. in November 2015 with an 11.1% increase in visits over the same month in 2014.

One of the stand out statistics shows that visitors from France increased by 27.1% (over November 2014). That spike is credited in part to a new direct flight between Vancouver and Paris that runs from March to November each year. Also a solid 12.5% increase in U.S. visitors is having a positive impact on B.C.'s tourism industry. Other increases in key markets were also seen in: * India up 20.8% * Japan up 18.2% * Mexico up 12.8% * South Korea up 9.2% * Europe up 4.1%

* China up 1.8% * Asia/Pacific up 7.3% The year-to-date (January-November 2015) visitors are up 7.7% over the same timeframe the year before. This means an additional 329,673 visitors came to British Columbia so far in 2015.

The strong growth in the tourism sector can be linked to a number of factors, including more direct flights to B.C. and Destination B.C.'s new international marketing strategy.

As a key sector in the BC Jobs Plan, tourism is a key economic driver in the province.

B.C.'s tourism sector is strong and growing amidst fierce global competition for tourists.

In 2013, the tourism industry generated $13.9 billion in revenue with a direct contribution to B.C.'s gross domestic product of $7.3 billion.

“These numbers confirm what we have been hearing from industry - it has been a great season for tourism in British Columbia. Looking ahead in 2016, we’re encouraging British Columbians to travel throughout the province and explore B.C.’s powerful nature,” said Maya Lange, Destination British Columbia, vice president.

Learn how you can save money by reducing your food waste Rose Soneff Interior Health Dietitian Ever opened the fridge and found a container that looks more like a science experiment than something edible? Have some cans in your pantry been there so long that the dust on top could be measured in millimeters? With food prices steadily rising, now is a good time to look at how we can reduce food waste.

Plan your meals before you shop. Check out the Healthy Families BC website for terrific ideas on how to get organized and plan ahead. For example, go through your fridge and cupboards to see what you already have on hand. Post the handy HealthyFamilies BC Meal Planner sheet to tell your family what meals are planned.

Use recipes to ensure you buy just the right amount of an ingredient on your grocery list. Use the bulk section to get the correct amount of an ingredient. If the item is packaged in an amount which is more than needed,

make more of that recipe and freeze what is left or use the ingredient in another recipe.

Store food properly. Use the Store It! guide. A little extra effort to store vegetables and fruit properly goes a long way to reduce spoilage and save money. Today some fruit and vegetables cost the same per pound as some fresh meat or fish. I recently saw red peppers for $4.98/lb while beef inside round was $4.84/lb.

Different foods have different storage requirements.

That dusty can of food does have a shelf life of 2-5 years, depending on whether it contains a high or low acid food. Storage information is available on HealthLink BC’s website Food Safety: Storing.

Large amounts of bread or meat can be frozen in smaller quantities. Use special freezer containers or bags that reduce the air in the container to help prevent freezer burn. If you have a large freezer, deplete the contents of the freezer at least once a year. That way, you can start freezing fresh items again.

Organize your cupboards. Canned goods or packages

can get pushed back into deep cupboards and forgotten about. Place these items on a tray or bin so that they can be pulled out more easily and you can see what is on hand to use.

Make use of leftovers. Portion leftovers in individual containers for lunches. If you have a lot of leftovers, freeze them in a clear container labelled with the date and name of the leftover. As a reminder, jot down the leftover name on your menu plan for the next week.

Leftovers can be incorporated into casseroles, stir fry, frittata, soups and smoothies.

Get creative. A friend once told me how her father used to make “Leftover Night” more interesting. He would list the leftovers on a board and take orders.

They would set the table with nice placemats, napkins, and serve the food on fancier plates. Instead of dreading leftovers, the family looked forward to this special meal.

With a little planning you can help reduce waste, save money and maybe even start a new family tradition.

Find quality employees.

Elite offering exclusive new line!

Elite Nutrition has been Golden’s source for natural health products for almost 25 years, and they are continuing to wade their way through the industry to bring you the best quality products on the market.

Their newest line of sports nutrition products, called FIT Supplements, is created by industry icon Randy Couture.

“I know the man who formulated these products, I’ve known him for about 20 years. I trust his work. He’s been involved in some prominent Canadian sports nutrition companies, and now he’s branched off to do his own line,” said Elite owner Mike Pecora. “It’s a super clean line, and I’m actually getting wholesale pricing.”

That means that through Elite Nutrition customers can get FIT protein powers, supplements, pre and post workout products, for

equal to or less than the prices you see online.

Also, if you have a membership with Golden’s Gym or Kicking Horse Wellness Centre, you will get a discount on any FIT product.

Elite Nutrition has been carrying the line for a few months now, and has received tremendous feedback from its users.

Through Couture’s product broker business, Pecora also has access to the top brands in sports nutrition.

“This allows me to brings in the best products and lines that are out there.”

Everyone’s health needs and goals are different, which is why there is no substitute for the expertise you can find in Elite Nutrition.

“If you can tell me what you need, and what you’re trying to get out of it, I can find you the right product,” said Pecora.

Get Results at Golden’s Gym 24/7 Sometimes the difference between success and failure is the right training.

That is why at Golden's Gym training is just part of the deal.

Owner Keefer Dondaneau wants to make sure his clients are getting the most out of their workouts.

"Most people fail because they just have no idea how to work out. It's like any sport…there's a way to do it," he says.

That is why members are given access to both workout and nutritional programs, so that they can get the results they are looking for.

Of course, all the training in the world won't help if you don't get to the gym regularly. With balancing schedules that can be difficult for some people. But Golden's Gym has you covered there as well.

Members are given key fobs so that they can work out at their convenience, 24 hours a day.

But the first step is getting off the couch and walking into the gym. Like Dondaneau says, "The longer you wait, the further you're getting from your goal. Those calories aren't burning themselves. Make the commitment to be healthy. We'll be your partner every step (or plank or squat thrust) of the way."

Myofascial Release What is Cupping?

Cupping is a therapy in which glass jars or cups are suctioned onto the skin’s surface through negative pressure. The suction and negative pressure drain excess fluids and toxins, which stimulates the peripheral nervous system, brings blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin, loosens adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn knots in tissue.

Ancient Chinese medicine believes cupping opens up meridian pathways to allow Qi to flow thru. When Qi flows freely throughout the body one enjoys good physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Cupping can be beneficial for anyone with joint or muscle pain and tension, headaches, frequent colds and flus. By clearing the meridians and focusing on stimulating specific acupuncture points it can also treat a variety of organ disorders. It is a great alternative to acupuncture for those who have an aversion to needles, and is ideal for those who are not getting the relief they need from regular massage therapy treatments.

At Kinbasket Massage we utilize cupping along with other modalities (myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, Swedish massage and prenatal massage) to release restrictions in the fascia. Trauma, thwarted inflammation process and surgery dehydrate the ground substance, the fluid component of the fascial system.

These modalities are utilized in a wide range of settings and diagnoses; pain, movement restriction, spasm, neurological dysfunction, headaches, temporomandibular pain and dysfunction, geriatrics, sports injuries, pediatrics, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, traumatic and surgical scarring, acute and chronic pain. We also have an increased awareness of women’s health problems and have more of an appreciation for how massage and myofascial release can relieve common issues such as pelvic pain and dysfunction, problematic breast implants or reduction scars and endometriosis.

If you are experiencing chronic movement limitations, stubborn pain patterns or areas of extreme tenderness, myofascial cupping or myofascial massage may be just the answer.

Focus on Patient Care Drives Element’s Success When you focus on patient care, all the other pieces just fall into place.

At least that was how it worked with Element Therapeutics, now in their second year of operation in Golden.

“We built this place for the patients,” said Stan Metcalfe, owner and physiotherapist at the wellness centre. “We wanted a beautiful and comfortable place for our patients, and once that happened, it started to attract the highest quality of professionals.”

With three registered massage therapists and four physiotherapists, as well as a yoga studio operating on the top floor, Element Therapeutics has what Golden needs to stay healthy and vibrant all in one place.

“Golden really values a healthy and active lifestyle, and since this business started in Stephen (Dykes’) house, it has grown exponentially,” said Metcalfe. In fact, since 1999 they’ve tripled their capacity. “This move into Element Therapeutics has gone way beyond our expectations.”

Of course that is no surprise to anyone who has stepped inside the bright, open and inviting space, and experienced the professional service the practitioners offer. The community has been so impressed by the centre, they received (by community nomination and vote) the Professional Services Award and Business Beautification Award at Golden’s Community Excellence Awards.

Physio Director Kristie Norquay was also recognized as Employee of the Year.

“The staff and practitioners we have here are just incredible,” said Metcalfe. “Everyone is supportive of each other, and the patients always come first.”

Facts about wearing contact lenses Contact lenses have come a long way.

They can correct almost every prescription including astigmatism. Multifocal lenses can help you see in the distance and read without having to haul your reading glasses around. Contact lenses are great for everyday use and for activities like mountain biking and skiing. There’s nothing worse than your glasses fogging up in your goggles.

Contact lenses should always be fit by a professional as everyone’s eyes are different. Health Canada states, “Contact lenses are medical devices which, like drugs, provide benefits while posing certain risks.

If you wear contact lenses, you should take steps to minimize these risk and protect your vision.” (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ hl-vs/iyh-vsv/med/lenses-lentilles-eng.php) Damage from contact lenses can happen without you having any symptoms. By the time your eyes are feeling uncomfortable it’s often too late and we’ve already had some damage that can result in discontinuing contact lens wear and having to be put on a prescription eye drop.

If you’re already a contact lens wearer here are some tips to keep your eyes healthy and your contact lenses comfortable.

1) Do not expose your lenses to water.

Swimming in your lenses or rinsing your contact lenses in tap water when you don’t have your solution on you is a bad idea.

Microorganisms living in water can be transferred to your eyes. Tap water is not sterile even if it’s safe to drink. If microorganisms are exposed to your cornea they can cause pain and discomfort that may result in discontinuing contact lens wear.

Microorganisms can cause corneal ulcers which can result in serious vision loss and blindness. If you like to swim in your con-

tacts, daily disposables are your best option as you can throw them out after your swim.

2) Not Sleeping in your lenses.

There are contact lenses that are approved for overnight wear, but most are not. Sleeping in your contact lenses means depriving your corneas of oxygen. Your corneas need oxygen to stay healthy and clear so you can see. Sleeping in your lenses also increased the risk of infection by 6.5 times.

3) Replacing your lenses on schedule. after you’ve worn your contact lenses for the designated time the material starts to degrade. This brings us back to the problems of getting oxygen to your cornea. not replacing your contact lenses on time also increases your risk of infection. Old lenses become coated in microorganisms, proteins and residue.

4) Replacing your case.

The same thing goes for replacing your case. You want to replace it every couple months. A new case usually comes with a new bottle of solution. Again, the issues here are microorganisms and we’ve already established that we don’t want them in our eyes!* Contact lenses can be life changing. They can give you freedom from your glasses and some people feel they enhance their appearance. When worn properly contact lenses can be comfortable and clear and you can wear them successfully for many years. Following these simple tips will keep you and your eyes happy for as long as you want to wear contact lenses. Come in to see if contact lenses are right for you! *(http://www.journalofoptometry.org/en/ how-could-contact-lens-wearers/articulo/ S1888429609700251/)

Foot clinic now open at Peoples There's a wide range of reasons an individual might require a visit to a foot care specialist, and Kathy Frasca out of Peoples Drug Mart has Goldenites covered.

In a new arrangement, Frasca, a foot care nurse, has been accepting patients through Peoples and offering a variety of care for her patients. "Kathy approached us and was looking to team up," says Sean Bennett, one of the owners and pharmacists at Peoples.

Frasca is now accepting patients by appointment, although she may have regular hours at Peoples in the future depending on demand.

"Basically anybody that is on any medication, has any kind of health issues or is worried about hygiene or infection should be using a foot care nurse," Frasca explains.

Frasca conducts foot assessments and monofilament testing, which checks an individual's sensitivity at the bottom of their feet.

"Diabetics can get what they call peripheral neuropathy, a decreased sensation in their extremities," Bennett says.

"A lot of people don't even know that they have it until you test them, and they go 'really, I can't feel the bottom of my foot right there?'," Frasca says, adding that individuals can often sustain cuts or bruises to their feet Kathy Frasca stands with Peoples cowithout realizing it, leading to further com- owner Sean Bennett. Frasca is now operplications. ating a foot clinic out of the drug mart.

Peoples has access to products that can help with various foot ailments, with many of them being covered under medical plans, including compression socks and toe separators.

Toe separators are important for keeping proper toe spacing in arthritic patients and compression socks can be a vital tool to decrease edema, or excess fluid accumulation in a patient's feet.

"The blood starts to pool in the lower portions of the body and then you get swelling in the leg and that can be harder on the cardiovascular system," Bennett says.

These specialized socks prevent the blood from collecting in the lower extremities through a series of graduated compressions.

Appointments can be made with Frasca by calling her at 250-439-9467 or through Peoples directly at 250-344-6821.

I have been working in the Fitness Industry for the past 10 years and I love it! Five years ago I started Shape Up Fitness in Golden-a small business specializing in group exercise classes for the community.

I realize that "group exercise" is not for everyone and that's OK! I pride myself in encouraging people to incorporate any type of exercise that they enjoy into their lifestyle, especially outdoors! I love teaching exercise classes and my main motive is to lead

people to have fun and enjoy fitness! I want to say a very special Thank You to the individuals from the Shape Up Team for helping make the program possible: Tammy Higginson, Carol Miller, Kathy Gunn and our newest team member Jennifer Burns. I invite you to join me for a Special Valentine’s Zumba Class- Thursday February 11, 6pm at the LGES Gym. Here are a few tips from the Shape Up Fitness Team for Designing a Safe and Effective Exercise Program.

A complete fitness program must include aerobic exercise, muscular strength and endurance conditioning, and flexibility exercise. Aerobic exercise does good things for your cardiovascular system and is an important part of weight management. Muscular conditioning can improve strength and posture, reduce the risk of lower back injury, and is also an important component of a weight management program. Flexibility exercise is needed to

maintain joint range of motion and reduce the risk of injury and muscle soreness.

Ayurvedic treatments in Golden Goldenites are known to be enthusiastic participants in a variety of sports, and with that comes a host of potential injuries. Golden Lotus Ayurveda has a range of Ayurvedic treatment options to keep you on the slopes, bike trails or wherever your hobbies might take you.

Ayurvedic massages, of which Golden Lotus offers several types, are done in a rhythmic fashion, which makes them distinct from western-style massages.

Abhyanga is a traditional therapy that specializes in soothing sore muscles and calming the nervous system. It can be done by one or two practitioners, with the latter, “four-handed” massage, offering certain benefits.

“Because it is so rhythmic and there are so many different hand positions that you use, it’s very hard for the client to follow with their mind what the practitioners are doing. So what happens is the nervous system just lets go of all the tension and just relaxes,” said Scott Ryan of Golden Lotus Ayurveda.

Shirodhara focuses on the head, neck, hands and feet and entails the pouring of warm oil over the forehead, often referred to as the “third eye.” This treatment is traditionally done to balance both the mind and body, relieving headaches and helping with insomnia.

Another treatment offered by Golden Lotus Ayuverada is Marma-Point therapy, also known as Ayurvedic Acupressure.

“It can remove blockages and can tell what’s going on in different parts of the body and treat those different parts of the body. It’s mostly to bring a person’s awareness to that area,” Ryan said.

All of this is in addition to Golden Lotus Ayurveda’s regular yoga classes, which are now offered out of the Element Therapeutics studio on Park Drive. Yoga classes include programs designed for both pre and postnatal mothers, and Golden Lotus is now offering meditation classes as well.

Eagles go 1-2 in final tune-up before Kicking Horse Classic

Several members of the GSS senior boys’ basketball team pose for a photo after a “fun” game against a Calgary school on the weekend. The group was assembled after one of the schools at the tournament had to withdraw.

Photo Submitted Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net In one of their final tune-ups before the Kootenay Zone

Championships, the Golden Eagles senior boys’ basketball team left a tournament in Calgary with a 1-2 record, sandwiching a dominant win in between a pair of losses.

To start off the weekend, the Eagles fell to Heritage

Christian by a 91-62 score before gutting out a win against James Fowler despite having two of their eight players - Meva Dhami and Ben Wiegert - leave the game due to injury.

“We only have eight to start with so we were down to six by the end of the game,” said head coach Kindy Gosal.

“The other kids banded together and did a great job.”

With Dhami and Wiegert back in the lineup, the Eagles played a tough final game, falling to Robert Thirsk in a close 77-68 matchup.

Following their final official game of the tourney, several members of the Eagles were given the opportunity to play in a fun game after Heritage Christian withdrew from the event. Eagles players teamed up with players from a few other schools with Gosal serving as the team’s coach.

“It was really nice to see, it was nice to see the kids kind of come together…pulling all those guys from three different teams together, watching them interact and create their own plays,” Gosal said.

The Eagles will have one more tournament to get ready for the Kootenay Zones, where the team will attempt to qualify for the provincials for the third year running.

That final tune-up will take place right here in Golden as GSS hosts the annual Kicking Horse Classic on Feb. 12 and 13.

“It should be a very competitive tournament,” Gosal said. “These are our only home games all year…we’d love to see some folks come out.”

The Eagles will take on Selkirk out of Kimberley at 2:00 p.m. on the 12th and Barrier at 8:30 p.m. later that night.

Their performance in the tournament’s first two games will determine when they play on the 13th, but the Eagles will certainly have aspirations of playing in the championship game at 4:00 p.m.

Rockets still searching for fifth win as season nears a close Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net With the Golden Rockets’ season winding down, the club is still looking for its elusive fifth win of the year.

It’s been a long search, the Rockets having not emerged on the winning side since a 1-0 win over the Grand Forks Border Bruins at home on Dec. 11.

Golden has just five more opportunities to get another win in ‘15/16 after a pair of weekend losses. Their penultimate home game did not go according to plan, as the Creston Valley Thunder Cats stormed through the Rockets on their way to a 6-1 victory.

Golden actually opened the scoring courtesy of captain Travis Kelley, who notched his 7th goal of the season less than three minutes into the contest.

It was all downhill from there,

as the Thunder Cats piled on their Eddie Mountain Division rivals with a goal late in the first, two in the second and three in the third. Keyon Bittner made 29 saves in the Rockets’ net on a total of 35 shots.

Owen Sikkes got the call the following night in Castlegar, and the Rockets jumped out to an even better start against the Rebels. Layne Hunter scored in the first, while Brennan Grocock and Tony Festa added markers in the second to give the Rockets a 3-1 lead at the game’s midway point.

The Rebels responded and got to within one with just over seven minutes to play in the second frame and the scoring continued in the third with a pair of goals in the early portion of the period.

Terix Fischer-Kobes tied things up shortly after, but the Rebels’ Nick Headrick put

Sikkes was peppered with

shots and earned the star for the Rockets while making 48 saves on a whopping 53 Castlegar shots. In stark contrast, Logan Sawka faced just 21 shots in the Rebel net.

The Rockets hosted Columbia Valley in their final home game of the season on Tuesday night.

It’s not too late for you to benefit from last year’s TFSA limit Brenda Spiering Submitted

you haven't done so already and were eligible each year, you can still contribute up to a total of $46,500: $5,000 per year for 2009-2012, $5,500 per year for 2013 and 2014, $10,000 for 2015, and $5,500 for 2016.

Whether you're looking for a tax-sheltered way to save for a down payment on your first

Yes, the government has rolled the annual tax-free savings account (TFSA) contribution limit back down to $5,500 for 2016. But the $10,000 limit still remains for 2015. So, because contribution room can be carried forward, if

home or you're getting close to retirement and looking for a way to supplement your retirement savings, putting your money in a TFSA can be a great way to save. While contributions aren't tax deductible, there's no tax payable on investment growth inside the plan and withdrawals aren't subject to income tax.

An open house makes our day brighter Please join us for our

OPEN HOUSE Thursday, February 18, 2016 4:00 - 7:00 p.m.

512-A 9th Ave Golden, British Columbia We look forward to meeting you. Let’s talk about Money for Life.

Shannon Hood* CFP® CLU® CHS™ B.Sc. Shannon Hood Financial Services Inc. Tel: 250-344-4543 shannon.hood@sunlife.com

Life’s brighter under the sun

"Overall, I think the TFSA is a great vehicle and it does encourage more saving," says Cindy Crean, Managing Director of Private Client Services at Sun Life Global Investments. "It also gives people more choice in terms of which option is better for them, a TFSA or RRSP.” Here are four good reasons to save in a TFSA: 1. Starting to save If you're just starting out in your career and still in a low income bracket, opting to save in a TFSA rather than an RRSP can make sense. While you won't get a tax deduction for contributing to a TFSA, there is no tax payable on investment growth and you also won't get hit paying tax when you draw the money out. And should you end up in a higher tax bracket in retirement, the tax deduction you

get from contributing to an RRSP today could end up being less than the tax you will have to pay when you withdraw it.

2. Saving for a home A TFSA is a more flexible option for saving for a home than an RRSP. While the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) does allow firsttime home buyers to use the Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) to withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSPs, you have to repay it over a maximum of 15 years. And there are penalties: If you miss a payment, that amount is added to your taxable income for that year. TFSA withdrawals have no such requirements.

3. Saving for retirement TFSAs were designed to supplement RRSPs. If you've maxed out your RRSP, they provide you with another

great way to shelter a portion of your investment earnings from income tax. And given that life expectancy has increased in recent years, the need to save for retirement has become more important than ever. Contributing additional funds to a TFSA can help ensure you won't outlive your savings.

4. Funding retirement If you're nearing retirement and have substantial RRSP savings, you may wish to start contributing to a TFSA instead, to avoid a potential future impact on your Old Age Security (OAS) payments. This is because the CRA charges a special tax (or "clawback") on your OAS payments if your net income exceeds a certain threshold (for 2014, the threshold is $71,592). As withdrawals from a

TFSA are tax-free, they don't add to your taxable income and have the potential for triggering this clawback in the same way as taxable RRSP withdrawals.

Still, when considering the best investment option for you, it's important to remember that contributions to an RRSP provide the added benefit of reducing your annual income tax. Assuming you'll be in a lower tax bracket when you draw the money out than you were when you put the money in, an RRSP can help you save on the overall amount of tax you pay.

A financial advisor can work with you to help you determine the best options for your personal situation.

This is the second part of the two part story written by R.H. Mann about his remebrances of Golden 1912-1914. R.H. Mann was married to Elizabeth Beattie, daughter of Alex and Annie Beattie. During the early part of the war he went over to Glacier and in 1945 he was a Park Warden for Revelstoke/Glacier.

“The two chief hotels in Golden were, as I remember, Queen’s Hotel on the southeast corner of the main road near Warren’s Store and the Columbia which along with the Russell House did a thriving business especially on weekends when the lumber-jacks from the camps came to town. All the hotels at this time had bars of course. Then there were the red-light houses, popular with the large proportion of single and lonely men.

Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum those were the main features of what was then almost a frontier town, and they catered to the few hundred employees of the big Columbia River Lumber Company, whose mill and planer had a capacity of some three thousand board feet per day. The manager was Mr. High Cornell, a capable business man and pillar of the local church. The lumber company also owned two stern wheeler boats which handled all the freight, and passengers from Golden to Lake Windermere, before

the advent of the Kootenay Central Railway, which was completed in 1914.

Those boats bore the romantic names of the Nowitka and the Klawhowya, first nations greetings.

They were captained by Mr. Russell, Mr. Blakely, Mr. McLennan & Mr. Armstrong, though I am not sure which was which except that, at one time I worked for Capt. Russell on the Nowitka in 1912.

There were three churches, the Methodist or Baptist, the Presbyterian and the Angli-

can each with about the same number of members. The only minister whom I remember was Rev. McRae of the Presbyterian, a veteran missionary from India who was instrumental in starting or keeping alive the Golden Literacy & Debating Society. He persuaded me to take over the old historic church in Field during the absence of a regular minister. This was Ralph Conner’s, the celebrated western writer’s church at one time.

Fun facts about utilities in the town of Golden Town of Golden Submitted It’s the time of year when you may notice your utility bill has arrived and you might be thinking, “Just exactly what am I paying for?” We hope to shed a little light on this with some facts about water, sewer and waste collection services in Golden.

Water services - Did you know?

Golden’s water is so good that we don’t have to treat it the way some other centres do! Our water comes from a groundwater aquifer. Aquifers can be natural filters that trap sediment and pathogens to provide natural purification of the ground water flowing through them. In Golden’s case, our water quality is excellent and doesn’t require filtration or chemical treatments to remove contaminants.

• There are five groundwater wells with a combined total pumping capacity of 125 Litres per second.

• There are five reservoirs with a total storage capacity of about 6.96 Mega Litres.

• Water is distributed to the community through about 39 kilometres of water lines.

Sewer services - Did you know?

• Golden has about 36 kilometres of sewer lines.

• Our collection system has the capacity to process 4251 cubic metres per day.

• Within the collection system, we have six lift stations and a sewage treatment plant. Curbside garbage collection and recycling services: Curbside garbage collection and recycling services Did you know: • Garbage (green bin) pickup occurs weekly and a Curb-side Collection Calendar is included with your annual utility bill.

• The cost of curb-side collection services is roughly $175 per year, which you pay through your annual utility bill. For this, you get weekly garbage and bi-weekly recycling pickup and standardized town-owned bins. Your annual fee also includes an annual contribution to a reserve fund for eventual bin replacements.

Golden had colourful history in early 1900s

Continued from page 14

My churchly activities were rather unorthodox, incorporating a boxing club, a dancing and dramatic society, etc but nevertheless proved popular, increasing the number of members and adherents to a respectable quota from practically nil, but disapproved of by a few strict Sabbath Presbyterians.

But many unorthodox proceedings went on in Golden and the Columbia Valley in pre World War I days. If one could do the research necessary, a colourful, not to say violent, history could be compiled, to equal those of the many pioneer towns in the interior of British Columbia particularly during the early gold rush times. But that is another story and when the hectic search for gold along the Fraser River and in the Caribou Country died down, men turned to our natural resources of mining and lum-

bering; to exploit the visible and enduring wealth of the land.

After the first World War drained Canada of so many of her vigorous young men, the scene changed drastically. First came the railway from Golden to Windermere and points south; the substitution of the gas engine for horsepower and a general mechanization of industry. Some of what we call romance vanished with the old ways and efficiency took the place of adventure.

This applied to Golden and its surroundings as well as to all the pioneer regions of BC. But at present we are not set to write the romantic parts of Golden’s history or bring to life the many colourful and varied characters of early days. That probably would be more readable and entertaining than this bald account but it must wait for another occasion and probably another author.”

Starhoroscopes

Feb. 10 to Feb. 16

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you assumed you were right on track, you soon will see why it isn’t safe to assume. Do not take anything for granted and consider all potential outcomes.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, frustration at work may not be directed at any one person, and you can’t let it consume your life. Make the frustration work to your advantage instead.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Interpersonal dynamics are constantly changing, and you may have a challenging time wrangling in your relationship to where it feels comfortable, Taurus.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Romantic thoughts this week will have you on a mission to spend quality time with a loved one, Scorpio. You may do everything in your power to be near your significant other.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, even if you are uncertain about someone’s intentions, it is best to give that person the benefit of the doubt. However, an ounce of skepticism never hurt anyone.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t try to erect barriers, Sagittarius. This week you have to let someone in and unburden some of the problems or thoughts that have been weighing you down.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is better to make your choices sooner rather than later this week. Putting decisions off only complicates matters. It may be an anxious time, but you will pull through.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Accomplish something important based on what you learn this week, Capricorn. Keep your eyes and ears open to all of the possibilities around you.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Stop worrying about how others see you, Leo. This week own up to your beliefs, even if they seem to go against the norm. You may be surprised at the support you receive.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Try not to take the easy way out, Aquarius. When faced with some tough questions, stay strong and true to yourself. You will be happier in the long run if you do so.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a hectic week leads to lots of demands on your time. Take things one task at a time and do not be afraid to say “no” if you feel you are overwhelmed.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take some time off if your job seems like a headache this week. If you have the time, enjoy a long weekend or a short jaunt during the week.

David Benjamin Gooden 1929 - 2016 Dave Gooden passed away peacefully on January 19 at his home in Parksville, lovingly supported by family. He was 86 years old.

He is survived by his wife Jill Gooden of 31 years, children Les (Tatiana), Bryan (Juliet), Kevin (Deanna), and Elizabeth Taylor, and step-children Robert Graham, Maree Roome and Heather McPhee.

By shopping local you support local people.

Longtime resident Margaret Jesse passed away peacefully with family by her side at Durand Manor on December 17, 2015. She was 92 years of age.

Margaret was born in Fort Chipewan, AB to Isadore and Mary Bourque. She grew up on the family farm near Boyle, AB with two sisters and three brothers. This was where she met Eckhardt Jesse, they were married August 24, 1946 and moved to Golden in 1952.

Margaret worked at various cleaning jobs and became the longtime janitor of the Evans Products offices until her retirement.

She loved her daily long walks and was quick to smile and say hello to everyone she met, both friends and strangers alike. She loved her family and will be remembered most for her genuine selflessness. Mom would always put the needs of others ahead of her own.

Margaret is survived by her children, Mary Whitney (John), Edith Belbeck (Jim), Lois Balint (Bryan), Robert and Norman (Lee), stepdaughters Barb Ashwell (Hugh), Joyce Cochrane and one brother, Lawrence Bourke (Mary) as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren, nephews and nieces.

She was predeceased by husband Eckhardt, daughter Doris Wilburn, stepsons Don Jesse (Jan), Sonny Jesse siblings Norbert, Norman, Magdeline and Irma.

Special thanks to Tanis, Janice, Lisa and all staff and volunteers at Durand, Laurie Formenti, Deb Gudjonson, Kevin and Nina from Hindman Bowers and all those that offered condolences, sent cards or just took the time to offer our mom a smile or kind word, especially in her last years.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Margaret by the family in the spring.

Arrangements were in the care of Hindman Bowers Funeral Home, Golden, BC. Online condolences may be sent through Margaret’s obituary at www.hindmanbowersfuneralhome.com.

Golden’s Snow King celebrations marks its 10th anniversary Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net When the Snow King was first constructed 10 years ago, its creators had no idea how much the festival would grow over the years.

Dawnita Johnson and Erica Thadeour were among the first people to bring what is now the Snow King Masque Parade to life. The massive head to the Snow King started off as a drawing on a piece of paper in blue pencil, and morphed into the larger-than-life puppet that dazzles

the crowd in Spirit Square every year.

"The original Snow King reflects back to the Sno King's Kastle, which was the Snowmobile Club's clubhouse. It was an old log building, and apparently all sorts of funny things happened there," said Joyce deBoer, one of the lead organizers of the event for the past 10 years.

The first year the event paid tribute to that tradition, and there has been a different theme every year since. Of course the Snow King, which has seen a few touch-

ups over the years, comes back for every event.

Johnson and Thadeour spent weeks constructing the head, letting it dry between each layer. It came right down to the wire, with the ladies working on it until at least midnight the night before the inaugural parade.

"That first year I think there was something like 100 or 150 people," said Thadeour.

"In the beginning we saw it as a way to bring the community together in the mid-

dle of winter. and to have a celebration that would include families and children," said Johnson.

And they definitely accomplished that.

Families and children have been coming into the Snow Kings Playhouse to make lanterns, costumes, and more to be a part of the celebration.

It has definitely changed over the decade, with the crowds getting larger it became less feasible to continue with the parade aspect of the event.

"We were losing too

many young families with children when we started moving, so last year we kept it all in Spirit Square with the dance right after the pageant, and everyone really liked the way that went," said deBoer.

This year’s Snow King Masque Parade is Saturday (Feb. 13) in Spirit Square at 6:45 p.m. The pageant will include music, dancing, stilt walking, giant

puppets, snow and ice carving, shadow plays, fire spinning, and other circus arts. Not to mention upwards of 1,000 people watching from the crowd.

It has taken a lot of dedicated volunteers to not only keep this magical experience going for 10 years, but to make it grow year after year.

“There are so many dedicated people who deserve a lot

of credit for keeping this going for so long,” said Johnson.

“Joyce deBoer is definitely one of them,” said Thadeour.

“Every year when I send out emails to the volunteers and people working on it, I am sending it out to about 50 people,” said deBoer. “So there’s just too many people to mention.

It’s just a wonderful group of people.”
