Agreement reached to keep Lower Canyon open Local hockey players headed to Aboriginal championships............12

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net After weeks of negotiations and a rally cry that stretched across the country and around the world, the Golden rafting industry got the news they had hoped for on Friday morning.

Canadian Pacific and local white water rafting stakeholders have agreed on a resolution to keep the Lower Canyon portion of the Kicking

Horse River open.

The details of that resolution aren’t clear as of yet, but it will allow for rafting on the Lower Canyon when the rafting season begins next month.

“We are very pleased that, starting this May long weekend, we will have rafters floating through the heart of our community, the Kicking Horse River, following a thrilling ride through this incredible stretch of whitewater, and that we are now looking towards a long-term

solution to address the access to the Lower Canyon for river users,” said Mayor Ron Oszust. “We all agree, at the heart of all of this is safety. CP Rail is committed to safety along its rail corridor.”

The agreement from CP represents a significant turnaround from their previous stance regarding the issue, with the company stating that there was no solution that could be found as recently as last month.

Ground crew and helicopter suppressed wildfire near Parson Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

A wildfire on private property was quickly contained by BC WildFire crews early last week.

BC Wildfire Photo Last week the air quality monitor showed that fine particles in the air that come from burning were staying below the objective. Average temperatures were high, which cut down on wood stove use. It is good to be able to enjoy the fresh spring air!

Backyard burning of green brush still contributes to local air pollution. Think of your neighbours and take yard waste to the dump. This is also good time to inspect your wood stove set up and consider whether you need to upgrade in order to burn more cleanly next year.

While the calendar might still read April, the Southeast Fire Centre is experiencing July-like weather conditions that has created an early start to the wildfire season in eastern British Columbia.

A fire was reported in the Parson area Monday afternoon, with a six-person ground crew and one helicopter responding. The fire was completely suppressed and contained by Tuesday morning. The fire was located on private property, but no structural damage was reported on the property or in the surrounding area.

“It’s potentially a person-caused (fire)…but it is under investigation so we don’t know exactly what the cause was yet but I can safely report that there was no lightning in the area,” said Fire Communications Specialist Karlie Shaughnessy with the BC Wildfire Service.

While a significant snowpack remains in the alpine, the valley is susceptible to more fires this spring due to unusual weather conditions.

“We’re going to be experiencing a few more days of this July-like temperature and weather. So we do want to make sure that the public are aware that if they do cause a fire and they are held liable they will be held responsible for all fire suppression costs relating to extinguishing that fire,” Shaughnessy said.

Nine fires had been reported in the Southeast Fire Centre to date, as of last week, burning 54 hectares in total. The five-year average for this region is five fires and 13.5 hectares.

Anyone that’s thinking of doing backyard burning should follow proper protocol. More information can be found at www.bcwildfire.ca.

Input session still open for HP regulation Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Since the federal government released its intentions to regulate high-powered motorized boats in the main stem of the Columbia River between Invermere and Golden, as well as the main stem of the river near Fairmont Hot Springs, the feedback has been passionate.

The Ministry of Transportation published the proposed regulation on Apr. 2, starting the month-long public comment period.

Wildsight has been working with the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations over the past 14 years to implement boating regulations on the Columbia Wetlands and the River through the Columbia Wetlands Wildlife Management Area (CWWMA).

"First and foremost, the 20 hp regulation came from the Columbia Wetlands Stewardship partners (http://www.cwsp.ca/), a multi stakeholder organization. The regulation was unanimously supported by 18 groups in 2009, and from there it went to Ottawa where it has been making its way through the regulatory process. There has been much consultation and consensus on this. It was a compromise, designed to allow for what was reported to be common use on the river, while

still protecting the environment," said Ellen Zimmerman, a member of Wildsight and concerned citizen who has been following this issue closely for 20 years.

"This regulation is designed to protect the environment, wildlife and wildlife habitat in the world renowned Columbia Wetlands," said Wildsight's Robyn Duncan in a letter. "Wildsight has worked over the years with many stakeholder groups to reach a compromise of 20 horsepower, which is designed to accommodate historic and common usage of the river while still providing environmental protection. This 20 hp compromise is widely supported. The regulation does not apply to either Lake Windermere or Columbia Lake. They will remain unaffected."

Not everyone is providing positive feedback, however, The Golden Rod and Gun Club has publicly stated that they have not seen scientific studies cited in the legislation that prove horsepowered watercrafts will harm the wetlands, and would like to see an environmental impact study before their rights are restricted (see page 3).

Residents have until the first week of May to provide any feedback to the ministry. More detailed information on the proposed regulation can be seen at http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/ p1/2016/2016-04-02/html/reg2-eng.php.

Cemetery slash piles to be burned Town of Golden Submitted Beginning Monday April 25, and subject to favourable venting indices, qualified professionals from the BC Wildland Fire Service will be burning the existing slash piles near the Golden and District Cemetery. The work will be conducted over an estimated four days until all piles have been eliminated or in the unfortunate circumstance that these crews are called away to an actual forest fire.

Associated activity (chainsaws and water pump noise) will likely take place during this period from approximately 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. as well. Golden Fire Rescue will be assisting the crews with access to water and other associated needs.

During the times listed above, all public access to the area referred to will be strictly prohibited for obvious safety reasons. All residents are asked to highly respect this closure and any posted signs during the dates specified.

This represents one of the final components of a larger multi-year Fuel Management Prescription initiative by the Town of Golden to address and mitigate the potential for interface wildfires within forested areas of the community. The Province has been a significant partner in this project. Deployment of BC Wildland Fire Service firefighting personnel has represented a significant savings to the Town in the order of $250,000.

The Town of Golden apologizes for any inconvenience this burning may pose during the dates specified above for residents, but trusts its importance is recognized and appreciated.

For more information about this project, contact Jon Wilsgard, CAO for the Town of Golden at 250344-2271, local 237.

The Not-So-Professional Driver I’m one of those odd drivers who tries their best to drive at or below the posted speed limit. I include the word below here as sometimes there is a need to slow down to less than the posted speed limit for safety reasons. This often has consequences for me when I have to share the road with other drivers who do not subscribe to my philosophy on road safety. A good example of this is looking in my rear view mirror and finding the Volvo logo on the grille of a heavy transport truck following me closely enough that I could count the bugs stuck to it.

My preferred solution is to simply pull over and let the offender by. Better to inconvenience myself than to become involved in a collision. In this case, I had to wait to find a good place to do this and sweat out having that Volvo logo looming large behind me. The truck passed me before I was able to do so, but I was able to read the company name off the door of the truck cab.

If you are not content to just shrug your shoulders and mutter something about the driver’s ancestry under your breath, what can be done about incidents like this one?

Check out the trucking company via search engine. Call or e-mail and explain the situation. Drivers who attract too many complaints are a company liability and may find themselves out of work. The police and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement may also be interested. It is even possible that you can convince the police to issue a ticket to the offending driver after doing an investigation.

Have a Travel Question?

Give Carole a call - for all your travel/ medical insurance - single trip and annual policies - visitors to Canada.

Carole Furey “A PUBLIC RIGHT OF NAVIGATION EXISTS IN CANADA” THIS RIGHT IS NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE, IT IS A COMMON LAW RIGHT. IF THE WATERS ARE NAVIGABLE, THEN THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO NAVIGATE The Transport Canada Navigable Waters Protection Division (TCNWPD) is responsible for ensuring unimpeded navigation along navigable water.

“Navigable Water” is defined in the Act as any waterbody, natural or manmade, capable of carrying a water borne vessel. This includes waters capable of being used for commerce, transportation or recreation and there is no limit on the size of a stream considered navigable.

The proposed legislation RESTRICTING HP USE TO 15KW OR 20 HP uses wordings such as: - will likely result in the degradation of habitat, - will likely result in the degradation of levees - scientific literature indicates But there are NO STUDIES CITED in the legislation at all that would enable a person to read these studies in order to make an informed decision on such issues as: “ACTUAL” evidence of degradation of habitat caused by HP boats on this identified section of the Columbia River.

“DEFINITE” impact on communities of nesting waterfowl on this identified section of the Columbia River.

“USAGE COUNTS” of horse powered boats on this identified section of the Columbia River.

“CITED INCIDENTS” of dangers caused and/or injuries or deaths from horse powered boats on this identified section of the Columbia River.

Girl Guides clean up Golden shores Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

The 1st Golden Girl Guides did their part for a national initiative called Pitch-In last week.

The group walked along the river pathway to clean up litter in the community.

This is the 49th annual Pitch-In Week campaign, which sees 625,000 volunteers organizing 15,000 clean up events across the country.

Organizers set themselves a goal to collect 3.75 million pounds of litter throughout 6,000 communities.

To date, Pitch-In volunteers have removed 125,000 tonnes of litter from Canadian communities.

That's the equivalent weight of 125 Eiffel Towers.

BEFORE HP LEGISLATION “RESTRICTS” OUR RIGHTS AS CITIZENS TO NAVIGATE OUR WATERS AS OUR ANCESTORS DID….

BEFORE HP LEGISLATION RESTRICTS AND IMPEDES THE ABILITY OF MANY THAT ARE HANDI-CAPPED DUE TO AGE OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES FROM USING THE RIVER….

It is imperative that “BEFORE” our rights are restricted by this legislation, enviromental impact studies; human impact studies; river usage counts to determine the number of horsepowered craft that use this identified section of the Columbia River.

Have all these studies been done and made AVAILABLE to the public so we can make an informed decision regarding any HP restrictions?

We all have a concern for future generations use of our rivers and lands and agree that the marshlands and nesting areas need our protection and respect. We have supported the banning of all motorized use in the wetlands, nesting and marsh areas.

But there is also a concern that our right to navigate our rivers can be restricted so quietly and swiftly before we are even aware that it is happening!!!

Local stakeholders and CP came to the agreement in a meeting on Friday morning.

“Safety is a responsibility all of us share and that was recognized by the stakeholders involved in (Friday’s) meeting. Working closely and collaboratively with our community partners, we have arrived at an agreement in principle for the 2016 rafting season, formal details of which will be worked out in the days ahead,” said CP Spokersperson Salem Woodrow.

Rafters have to cross railway tracks at an unmarked crossing in order to access the Lower Canyon portion of the Kicking Horse River. This portion of the river is seen as the crown jewel of Golden’s rafting industry, bringing in thousands of tourists every year.

“This has been a long and tiring battle, but we are grateful to have a resolution,” said Ryan Johannesen, owner of Glacier Rafting, one of six rafting companies to operate on the river. “It’s time to get busy for our season opening on May 21.

“We are very grateful to our community and to people from around the world who showed their interest in this incredible stretch of the river. This was always about more than just protecting a portion of our business; it was about ensuring access for all river users to a wonderful recreational opportunity.”

Public support to keep access to this portion of the river open has been immense, from local stakeholders and politicians to a letter of support from Senator Nancy Greene.

“All levels of government came together to work on this issue,” said Kootenay Columbia MP Wayne Stetski. “We all met to try to find a solution. We reached out to our contacts, and approached anyone we thought might be able to help. It was an easy story to tell, and people immediately agreed with the community of Golden that losing access to the Lower Canyon was simply not an option.”

Present at today’s meeting were representatives of two provincial ministries: The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

“I have to particularly thank Minister Shirley Bond and Minister Todd Stone for their assistance to the community,” said Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald. “The level of support that we have received from these ministers and their staff has been exceptional.

“The province will be an integral part of the long-term solution in the years ahead. Their commitment to ensuring the viability of this important tourism product, and the tremendous economic benefit it brings to our region, is very clear, and for that we are grateful.”

A planned “Save the Lower Canyon” rally on April 30 will now be a celebration of the river and the industry’s importance to Golden. Meet at Kicking Horse Beach at the Golden Municipal Campground at 11 a.m. for a free guided raft float, bring your own boat or join in with your kayak, SUP or canoe. Or walk along the Rotary Trail beside the river, united as a whole community. The float will continue to Spirit Square where there will be music from Mike Taylor, and a barbecue by the Rotary Club of Golden at noon.

Harry Manx performing at Civic Centre Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Harry Manx will be performing in the final Live Kicks show of the season on Saturday.

Photo Submitted

With an upbringing that started in the Isle of Man, moved on to Canada, then went on to include Europe, Japan, India and Brazil, it’s no surprise that Harry Manx has been called the “essential link” between the music of east and west.

He honed his mesmerizing live shows on street corners, cafes, bars and music festivals. But it wasn’t until he discovered Indian music in the mid-’80s that his personal style was born.

Manx has released nine albums in eight years, and shows no signs of stop-

ping soon. Not only has he received seven Maple Blues Awards, he also holds honours from the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and his albums have earned him five Juno nominations.

However, performing live is where his passion truly lies. He has brought his shows to every corner of Canada, as well as the U.S., Australia and Europe.

It’s in the live setting, Manx says, that the bridge between “heavenly” India and “earthy” American blues is most effectively built.

You can catch Manx at the Golden Civic Centre this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available at the Art Gallery of Golden.

Town marks Emergency Preparedness Week Town of Golden Submitted If there were a large-scale emergency in the community, would you and your family be prepared? As Emergency Preparedness Week nears, the time is right to develop your own emergency plan.

According to getprepared.gc.ca, Emergency Preparedness Week, which runs May 1-7, is a national awareness initiative that has taken place annually since 1996.

Kyle Hale, Golden and Area Emergency Program Coordinator, says that in the case of a large-scale emergency, families should have a plan.

“It’s important to be prepared to be self sufficient for at least 72 hours in the case of an emergency to allow the Emergency Services teams to focus on the most vulnerable in the community,” Hale explained. “That means having enough food and water to get by without power or tap water, medication if needed and a plan that allows the whole family – including pets – to get to safety if instructed to do so by emergency responders.”

In our area, Golden and District Search and Rescue and Golden Fire Rescue are the first responders.

Hale explains that in a large scale emergency, the local Emergency Management Program would be activated to support those organizations. In Golden and area, the top identified hazards are interface forest fires, flooding and hazardous material spills.

Fire Chief Dave Balding echoes Hale’s message of the importance of residents and their families having an emergency plan in place in their home.

“This is particularly timely with the dry conditions we have been having in the area,” Balding noted.

“There is a lot of planning we can do to protect ourselves from fire. These include a family escape plan and educating all family members on a safe meeting place outside your home.”

The Get Prepared website has a wealth of information, checklists and even a printable family emergency kit that you can create online. Log on to getprepared.ca for more information.

Lower Canyon is Saved

Boating regulations

The Golden Star had the great pleasure of reporting on one of the biggest wins this community has seen.

After a fearful couple of months, locals and tourists can rest easy knowing that rafters and kayakers will still be able to enjoy the Lower Canyon of the Kicking Horse - I SURMISE River.

By Jessica Schwitek Although I couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out, I have to admit my faith did falter along the way. Unlike some of the people involved in the negotiation process, I wasn’t certain there would be a happy ending. I let my pessimism get the best of me.

Sometimes the little guy does not prevail, but fortunately for us, this time we did.

A major part of that is undoubtedly the massive outpouring of support from people across Canada and around the world.

It was shocking and inspiring to see how many people beyond our community value the Kicking Horse River.

Like the Kicking Horse River Outfitters Association and Mayor Ron Oszust said, “Public pressure and community action around the loss of access to the Lower Canyon of the Kicking Horse River seems to be having an effect on CP Rail.”

There was plenty of political pressure as well, coming from the local mayor and council, area director, MLA, MP, even Senator Nancy Greene Raine. But it appears to me that the civilian outcry had the larger impact.

Some of the comments online have been so positive, both towards the community and CP Rail for coming back to the table, that I think it is appropriate to share a few of these messages with you: “Well done everybody who worked towards a resolution. I’ve been following and supporting you all from the UK. GREAT news.”

“Golden does not go down without a fight!!!

Everyone enjoy, this adventure, this year and prove we don’t just talk!!”

“Good job Golden, and thank you CP Rail.”

This is just a sample of the hundreds of messages, likes and shares that came after the good news broke on Friday. No one was petty, no one complained about the situation arising in the first place. They only expressed their joy that the issue was resolved, and just in time for the season to begin.

What had originally been planned as a rally this Saturday will now be a celebration. And those involved in the lengthy battle to save the Lower Canyon certainly deserve a celebration. *Messages came from the Save the Lower Canyon Facebook page.

Dear Editor,

A brief history of the issue in response to LaFontaine and Kupchanko and their hyperbolic comment in last week’s paper. . . The Columbia Wetland Stewardship Partners (CWSP ) unanimously supported and submitted the regulation to Transport Canada in 2009 . The proposed regulation is a 20 hp limit on powered boats in the main channel of the river from Fairmont to Donald.

Previous regulations in force prohibit any towing (water skiing) on the river and any motorized boating in the Wetlands between Fairmont and Donald.

Lake Windermere and Columbia Lake are EXCLUDED from the regulations.

From 2009 on, the government of the day represented

by Jim Abbott and then David Wilks did not act on the 20hp regulation. Our new MP Wayne Stetski did act. He asked Transport Canada to post the regulation which they did on April 2 ,2016 , with a 30 day public comment

period.

CWSP was formed in 2006 with the active support of the BC Ministry of Environment. Its role is to develop effective stewardship and management practices for the Columbia Wetlands and the Upper Columbia River .

Along with a diverse group of community organizations, First Nations and government agencies, CWSP includes representation from The District of Invermere, The Village of Radium Hot Springs, Regional District of East Kootenay Electoral Areas F and G, The Town of Golden and Columbia Shuswap Regional District Electoral Area A. No government agency that I know of, nor CWSP, has proposed regulation of motorized boating on Lake Windermere or Columbia Lake. For those who wish to support the 20hp regulation on the main channel of the river go to Transport Canada’s information link : gazette. gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2016/2016-04-02/html/reg2-eng.php Gerry Wilkie, RDEK Director Area G

Spring Fling coming up for Nicholson Lois Ehman NES Principal’ Students and staff are all working hard as we finish up the 2015 – 2016 school year and prepare for the 2016 – 2017 school year. On Wednesday, May 6th we welcomed our new kindies with a morning of activities and information in our “Welcome to Kindergarten” program. Ten new eager 4 and 5 year olds enjoyed stories, crafts, working with letters, ball activities and snacks, while their parents learned about school life. That same afternoon, the Grade 7s were visited

by Mrs. Trask, as they prepared and learned about life in

high school. They chose classes, learned how to open locks, learned how to read a schedule and of course, met their new principal.

Like the students, the staff have been learning new things too. On Monday, April 11 many of the Nicholson staff headed to Cranbrook to take in various professional development activities. It is always exciting for staff to learn new things that help improve your child’s learning!

Stay tuned for many upcoming events as the year winds down and don’t forget to mark your calendar for our annual Spring Fling on Friday, May 13th. Hope to see our wonderful community there!

Golden point of view

Do you think tourists stopping to look at wildlife is a major problem on highways in the area?

A stinger. If you were hot to have your name on the board of directors, why are you not hot to support the ongoing activities of that club? Just stand by, and complain, and let it die.

“I don’t think so.

If people want to stop, go ahead, as long as they are being safe.”

“Yes and no. I’m concerned when it happens but I don’t think it happens all that often.”

“Yes. I would react with annoyance if I saw that.”

Mayor writes thankful letter to CP regarding Lower Canyon solution

Mayor’s Report

By Ron Oszust

This letter is to inform you about how extremely pleased our community is that CP Rail continued in its role of a good corporate citizen and community partner.

Mr. Harrison, you and your staff did the right thing. You came to the meeting on April 22nd with a solution and we are elated that there will be rafting on the Lower Canyon of the Kicking Horse River beginning on the May Long weekend; in time for our Annual Mountain Festival which this year, appropriately, is celebrating Rivers and Wetlands.

This is a great news story for all involved. At the heart of all of this is safety; the ability to mitigate and manage the risks associated with our businesses and our day-to-day lives. CP Rail is committed to safety along its rail corridor and the rafting industry has proven its absolute commit-

ment to safety in the way it has managed the crossing of the rails safely for almost 40 years.

Working together, along with the support of the federal and provincial governments, we will stand united and determined to find the long-term solution. A solution that ensures access to the Lower Canyon without the involvement of people moving over railroad tracks.

To say that I am proud of our community is an understatement, but I am also as proud to acknowledge your willingness to be part of the solution. Your representatives, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Deciccio and Mr. LoVecchio, are individuals who are focussed on problem-solving and working towards win-win. For that, we are all grateful.

I will end my note to you with simple words – THANK YOU, along with an open invitation to come visit our community and experience our AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY, which is based on ADVENTURE.

Rod and Gun Clubs an important voice for land use management In rural areas like Columbia River Revelstoke, local Rod and Gun Clubs, as well as their provincial organization, the BC Wildlife Federation, are important and valued voices in support of proper management of our vast and irreplaceable public lands.

- Norm Macdonald - We know that the protection of habitat is crucialMLA Report ly important to keeping fish and wildlife populations healthy, and Rod and Gun Club members invest time and energy into ensuring we make good choices on our land base.

Over the last number of years, here in this region and in Victoria, BC Wildlife Association members have asked elected officials in the Legislature of British Columbia to make the proper management of the land base more of a priority.

My NDP colleague from Kootenay West, MLA Katrine Conroy, introduced a Private Members’ Bill in the BC Legislature last week. Entitled the Sustainable Wildlife Management Act, it reflects the priorities of hunters and fishers. But it will also interest all those who value our beautiful public lands.

This bill calls for science-based conservation programs. These would include requirements for sciencebased objectives and peer review for habitat and wildlife management.

This bill would give rural people a voice at the table when making land use decisions; this is something

people in this area feel passionate about. The bill would put in place a mechanism for properly funding the work that is needed to more effectively manage our wildlife.

Rod and Gun Clubs in our area have a strong and wellestablished tradition of making the protection of wetlands and other important habitat a priority. The work hunters and fishers have done to create this proposed legislation is part of that ongoing tradition.

I believe that this is a piece of legislation that is well worth supporting, but Private Members’ Bills only come forward for further debate if the government decides to support them.

If you are like me, and you want to support the work of Rod and Gun Clubs in this area, send an email to the Premier at premier@gov.bc.ca asking to have the Sustainable Wildlife Management Act debated in the Legislature.

Planning to Develop? Build? Renovate? COME SEE US FIRST Provincial legislation and bylaws combine in virtually every municipality in BC giving us the ability to ensure a “duty of care” to the people who live in, work in, rent, lease, and own developments and facilities in our town.

Through permitting and oversight, it is our responsibility and that of any developer or homeowner to ensure that what is being built or renovated sufficiently meets a standard reflected in the BC Building Code. And we do this in cooperation with construction contractors and architects on many projects; the Code is huge, technical, and many heads together are always better to interpret and come to the best solutions and alternatives that will meet its intent.

The real estate, insurance, and assessment industries rely heavily on these processes, permits, and documents, assuring that developments meet life-safety and other regulatory requirements.

We are a part of a system that is designed to ensure good building practices, and protect the public, workers, and owners from serious future consequences like structural, safety, and health related problems.

As a developer or homeowner, if you feel that in the spirit of saving money, shortcutting on standards, or simply ignoring us, that circumventing the permitting process is to your advantage, we suggest you talk to your insurance company and see what they have to say about that. Or BC Assessment on how it will affect a development’s value. Or a real estate agent about the liability involved in future transactions of the property. Or a buyer who finds their ideal building is deficient and has no documentation.

Developing, building, and renovating costs money. Doing it right costs even more but it’s worth it.

Not including us in the process will likely be more still. We’re here to help, interpret, and ensure as best we can that we all live in a community that is well built, lasting, and safe.

Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments This week your Council is away at its annual meeting (this year in Kimberley) with all the other local governments in this region (collectively called the AKBLG) to discuss important issues facing us. The main purpose of the conference is to determine a limited number of resolutions that are identified as regional priorities and submit them to the Union of BC Municipalities for consideration, debate, and support by the entire provincial body of local governments.

Resolutions that ‘make the cut’ are submitted to the Provincial Government with a whole lot more ‘weight’ than if a single community did so. It’s all a part of our role to adcovate the improvement of the lives of our citizens and ensure fairness to our level of government.

John Jenkins’ Small Town Revival hosting CD release concert

John Jenkins Small Town Revival performs at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday.

Joel Tansey/Star Photo Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Since the release of his last album, John Jenkins became a father for the first time. That lifechanging event has had an impact on various aspects of Jenkins’s life, including his music.

Jenkins’s latest

album, Green, includes songs with lyrics about fatherhood and being a parent.

“A few of the songs are very parental and change-driven,” he said.

Green is the second album from John Jenkins’ Small Town Revival, which features Jenkins and bassist Jack-

son Baker. The title track is a politically-driven environmental message that Jenkins hopes will make a difference in the ongoing Site C Dam issue.

“That’s kind of the most directly political and environmental song I’ve ever written,” Jenkins said.

Green, which was made possible through a grant from Columbia Basin Trust and other organizations, came together quickly, Jenkins says, and features 11 songs and a special cameo from one of Golden’s rising musical talents.

Jenkins has been teaching guitar to 14 year-old Slade Coffman for the past two years and the pair co-wrote two songs on the album, with Coffman playing lead vocals and guitar on one piece and background vocals on two other tunes.

“Collaborating with him has been really fun…he’s incredibly talented and I wanted people to hear that and I wanted to help him get that out there,” Jenkins said.

One of their collaborations is called Stop, which features the harmonica and the cajon.

“It’s not what you’d expect from a teenager…lyrically and vibewise it feels and sounds like kind of an older song, which I think is really cool,” Jenkins said.

In fact, this latest project has been about much more than simply putting out a new album, as Jenkins explains.

“It was a lot more about my whole role as a person and a community member. I’ve been teaching guitar for nine years and hosting a lot of jams and with that comes a lot of teaching and mentoring and bringing those aspects into the

project…it’s been really significant growth for myself,” he said.

John Jenkins’ Small Town Revival will be hosting a CD release concert

at the Civic Centre on May 6. Tickets are $20, including a CD, and are available at the Art Gallery of Golden and Plain Wayne and Jane.

The Net Result: Romantic comedy flick falls for typical cliches

Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis star in Sleeping with Other People.

IM Global Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Sleeping with Other People is a film that shows a lot of promise in its originality, but then snatches defeat from the jaws of victory and falls into all of the common romantic comedy tropes that can make the genre such a bore.

The story centres around Lainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis), who lose their virginity to one another in col-

lege and lose touch until meeting at a sex addiction meeting years later.

Lainey is a chronic cheater, fresh out of a failed relationship and in love with Matthew (Adam Scott), a doctor she has pursued relentlessly since college. Jake is a womanizer who cheats his way out of relationships instead of simply breaking up.

It turns out, they’re a perfect match. As friends.

The pair grow close but keep

things strictly platonic despite the mutual attraction that develops between them. Their friendship seems to benefit both in their personal lives as they date other people.

Meanwhile, their friends Xander (Jason Mantzoukas) and Kara (Natasha Lyonne) urge them to pursue more with each other.

There are some laughs to be had in this rather raunchy comedy. Sudeikis carries much of the humour, but Brie does a good job with what the writers give her as well.

Most of the supporting characters fall a bit flat, with limited exceptions, but the chemistry from the main leads is enough to make up for that.

Without giving away any “vital” plot details, Sleeping with Other People eventually devolves into a cliche when it could have been something unique. A shame, because it could have scored much higher.

As it stands, it’s worth 7 mouse clicks out of 10. Worth a click, but only if you can’t find anything better to watch.

It’s not just rabbits who multiply like rabbits.

Project aims to recognize unmarked graves at Golden Cemetery

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

A couple of years ago the local Genealogy Club met about what kind of a project they could work on together and came up with the idea of photographing the headstones in the Golden Municipal Cemetery. Other cemeteries in the area had already been completed by Louise Rande and the Municipal one was the last to be done. This information would then be shared in a couple of places, the primary one being www.findagrave.com. For people doing genealogical work a site like this is very valuable.

While we were doing the initial work we questioned the number of spaces at the cemetery that had no grave markers. We believed people must have been buried in those spots or the cemetery would never have been expanded.

Having done quite a bit of work on the cemetery Louise deter-

mined there could be as many as 200 people buried there that didn’t have grave markers. I was like WOW! And then I started to think about members of my own family who are buried there but don’t have markers and realized that, indeed, the number could be this high.

After several discussions about it I thought we really need a way to recognize the people who are buried there.

There was no way we could have all those stones made up and then where would we place them once they were made anyway?

You see the records for the Golden Cemetery were lost to water damage in about 1958 so anyone who didn’t already have a marker or family who knew exactly where they are, are lost souls.

And so began my quest to see that as many as could be remembered are. We decided that a sign might be the best way to go and that the sign could literally be an exhibit that was located off the museum grounds.

Realizing that it wasn’t in the museum budget I prepared and submitted grant applications to CKCA and BC Gaming who thought our project had merit.

Louise Rande, a

really good local historical researcher, was asked to create the list of names that would go on the sign.

This project took a long time because we wanted to make sure we had it right. Louise went through the BC Archives Vital Events records looking for people who died in Golden and area from 1894, which was when the cemetery opened, to 1960, which is when the Town of Golden took over the care and keeping of the cemetery. About 1,500 records were downloaded and printed and then each of the records were checked against the names of people we knew were in the cemetery and each was checked to see if they were buried in the Golden Cemetery or one of the others in the area.

Some of the records were hard to read and if we had doubts then we went through the various newspapers from Golden’s history looking for obituaries that would give us clues. By the time we were finished our numbers had swollen from 200 to almost 500. Yes, that’s a big number and the statistics regarding cause of deaths that came from those records were eye opening indeed.

As a result of our

numbers we had to more than double the size of our sign as well. That was when we ran into costs we hadn’t anticipated and were scrambling to see how we could complete the project.

Several local companies and people came through in a big way.

Will Cunningham Construction donated time and expertize, Leo Weatherall donated his time and backhoe, Barrett Leftwich

donated the big metal frame for the sign, Golden Concrete supplied and delivered the concrete block that is in the ground holding it all together. Thanks also to the Town of Gold-

en for their cooperation. The sign has been installed at the cemetery and will be a reminder of all the people who are buried there with no markers to mark their final rest.

Pair of locals competing for B.C. at Aboriginal Championships Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Golden will be well represented when Team BC takes to the ice at next week’s National Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Mississauga, Ont., with locals Annah Setter and Jake Gudjonson set to don their provincial colours.

This will be Setter’s third straight year competing with the B.C. girls. Her experience has allowed her to slip into a leadership role on a squad that will no doubt have raised expectations this year after steady improvement from 2014 to 2015.

“There’s a bunch of Grade 10 girls and this is their first year so for sure I’ll have to kind of lead the way and tell them what they need to expect and that kind of thing,” said Setter, a Grade 12 student who captained her Banff Academy team this past season.

While she’s primarily played defence, Setter is set to slot in as a centre next week, a role she says she is comfortable with.

The tournament in Mississauga will also be a good opportunity for Setter to show her stuff in front of university scouts, of which a few are already aware of her tal-

ents. She hopes to be able to play hockey at a university in Ontario next season, where women’s squads are a little more competitive than in British Columbia.

“I know I have a couple coaches that are interested and they are coming to watch in Mississauga,” she said.

Gudjonson, a standout rookie for the Rockets this past season, will be making his debut at the tournament.

Impressively, the 16 yearold was named to the B.C. squad despite not being able to attend the team’s tryouts due to his commitment to a Junior A camp.

Gudjonson was one of the Golden Rockets’ offensive leaders with nine goals and 14 assists in his debut season and hopes to bring some of that offensive flair to the table with Team BC. He’ll be competing with a lot of players who are older and more experienced than him, making this an excellent opportunity in his eyes.

“This is pretty sweet for me too, to be able to go to it, because I’ve heard of so many players who are playing in higher leagues than me who are on this team,” he said, adding that he was also excited to represent

Goldenites Jake Gudjonson and Annah Setter will represent British Columbia at this year’s Aboriginal Hockey Championships.
