Financial auditor looks at assets in Golden Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net
Karate students kick things into high gear ..............................22
The Town of Golden’s financial auditor, Dave Adams of Adams Wooley (currently in its second year of a three-year contract), went over the municipality’s finances for 2012, and found both positives and negatives in the books. One of the indicators Adams pointed at to measure the Town’s financial health, was Net Financial Assets, which he describes as the “bottom line.” In 2010 the Town’s Net Financial Assets were $141,000, which the dropped in 2011 to -$1.7 million. In 2012 Golden reduced that negative to -$700,000.
“There is an explanation for the drop, essentially it was the Civic Centre that pulled a lot of those financial resources out. So in 2012, we’re actually moving, and starting to climb back out of the trap at this point. We’re getting to the point where we’re recovering from the Civic Centre renovation,” said Adams. “That’s the way it goes with a municipality. Sometimes, as much as you want funding to fall in place for a certain project, it’s just not there. So you just have to bite the bullet and make it happen.” Golden is recovering from the large expenditures they incurred in the last few years (the 12th Street project also depleted the Town’s financial assets), as it has halved its Net Financial Debt. But Adams still stressed
how important it is to bring the municipality back into a positive number. “The thing about the financial assets, is they are what support the Town’s capital assets. And right now you’ve got $62 million in tangible capital assets that require continual repair and maintenance,” he said. “So when you have negative financial assets, there’s no resources available to look after those tangible capital assets. So it’s important to work those net financial assets up to a positive figure.” Having said that, Adams was very positive about the state of the Town’s reserve funds. “You do have sufficient reserve balances, the reserves are actually looking really good,” he said.

“We will be taking care of the beer gardens. We will have a fenced off area for that during the event,” he said. “We were approached and the organizing committee wanted our input about hosting events.” This year Spilli Chilli will have live music, great food and lots of fun according to Bodnaryk. “It is a family event. There is going to be a farmer’s market and crafts. There will be music all day, along with the chilli. It is a great day for the family.”
He added that an event like this is something people do not get to see every day. “I think it is a fantastic, unique event that doesn’t happen everywhere. Every town may get the fair to come through, but the Spilli Chili is something that is a fun event as well. It is something that happened naturally…They are expecting nearly 1,000 people this year.” To learn more about the event go to www.spillichilicookoff.com
Green candidate named in MLA race Golden Star Staff reporter2@thegoldenstar.net A fourth candidate has thrown her hat into the Columbia River-Revelstoke race. Green Party of British Columbia candidate Laurel Ralston of Kimberly is the fourth person vying for the MLA position in the 2013 provincial election on May 14. Ralston chose the Green Party because of its commitment to look at “the big picture of our province’s future - not just a few years along, but generations along.” Raised in Ottawa, Ralston moved to Kimberley seven years ago, and found her political passion. She has served as president of the Arts council,
which brought her closer to the City of Kimberley and other non-profit groups. She has also been involved with the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce and Wildsight. She has studied at the University of Ottawa and the University of Alberta, and has a bachelor’s degree in music, and a master’s degree in philosophy. Ralston will be up against BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok, BC Conservative candidate Earl Olsen, and incumbent NDP Norm Macdonald for the Columbia River-Revelstoke riding. Ralston will be joining the other three candidates at the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce All Candidates Forum at the Senior’s Centre on May 2 at 6:30 p.m.

Ziggy Marley and Bruce Cockburn shows coming to Golden
Kicking Horse Culture has announced that both Ziggy Marley and Bruce Cockburn (pictured above) will be playing Live Kicks Extra shows at the Golden Civic Centre. Photo Submitted Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Kicking Horse Culture has announced two Live Kicks Extra shows that will feature Jamaican legend Ziggy Marley on June 22, and Canadian icon Bruce Cockburn on August 16. Executive director
of Kicking Horse Culture, Bill Usher, said he was very excited about the new shows. “We are very pleased. It is fantastic. This is one of the reasons why the Civic Centre was restored because we knew there were these type of opportunities out there.”
Usher said the message is getting out to artists and agents about the kind of shows that now can be held at the centre. “The interesting thing about this is that, because of the reputation of our building with artists who have gone through town, art-
ists are telling their managers and agents about what is going on here. Now what is happening is that agents are being proactive to us,” he said. “Both of these shows are due to their people letting us know they are coming close to the area, and seeing if we are interested in a show.” He added, “people can go see Ziggy Marley and Bruce in Banff or Vancouver. However, what is really beautiful about it, is that we can now host them in our community.” The tickets for Ziggy Marley will go on sale on Saturday May 11 starting at 10 a.m. for people with Kicking Horse Culture memberships. Regular members will be able to purchase two tickets, while those with family memberships will be able to purchase four tickets. Usher said that if any tickets are still not purchased, then they will be available on May 13 to the general public. “People must have a membership before May 11 because they will not be for sale on the day of ticket sales,” Usher said. There will be no phone sales for these events, they are avail-
able only in person at the Art Gallery of Golden, and memberships will be checked on the day. Tickets will be $50 each plus taxes, with doors at AGOG opening at 10 a.m. Usher said that
they had to raise the ticket prices for the two shows because of the financial commitment to have artists like this come to play the venue in Golden. Tickets for Cockburn will go on sale in June, with a date
to be announced at a later time. Anyone looking to get more information about the shows go to www.kickinghorseculture.ca or drop by the Art Gallery of Golden at 516 9th Ave. N.

Council chooses tax rate scenario to even distribution Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden Town Council gave three readings to the tax rate bylaw at their regular meeting on April 23, and voted a scenar-
io that endeavours to evenly distribute the two per cent increase between the various classes. (The two per cent increase was brought in to build up an Asset Renewal Reserve). Chief Financial
Officer Lisa Vass put together four scenarios, each distributing the tax increase differently. “So ultimately the goal was to distribute the two per cent evenly across Class 1 and Class 6. My under-

standing is that Scenario 4 does that,” said Mayor Christina Benty. Class 1 (residential) and Class 6 (business) provide the bulk of the property taxes for the municipality. Residential properties in British Columbia have seen an average decrease of six per cent in 2013. So if a home in
Golden was assessed at $300,000 in 2012, it would now be assessed at $282,136. Scenario 4 (which was unanimously voted on by council) adjusted the mill rate for Class 1 to 5.276, bringing the property tax for this house from $1,465 to $1,489, an approximate increase of 1.6 per cent from 2012.
Businesses in B.C. on the other hand have seen an increase in assessed value in 2013, by an average of two per cent. Given that it is standard principle of municipal taxation for Class 6 to pay a higher rate of taxes than Class 1, Scenario 4 applies a tax rate of 12.926 to businesses. So if a business was
assessed at $500,000 in 2012 and paid $6,498 in municipal taxes, than in 2013 it would be assessed at $509,513 and will pay $6,586 in municipal taxes. This is an approximate increase of 1.4 per cent. The tax rate bylaw passed its first three readings on April 23, and must be adopted by May 15.
Pick-up purchase passed by council Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Fire Department has gotten approval to replace their light duty fire pick-up truck, a purchase that has been delayed for the past two years. “I have been successful in following council’s direction in trying to find a cheaper option here,” said Golden Fire Chief Ken McClure. The option he presented before council was the cheapest one available - a pick-up from Kicking Horse Ford for a total cost of $50,000 including taxes. “It is time to get a new vehicle, and we have postponed this for the past two years,” said McClure.
The department has adjusted their requirements for a duty truck to allow for this purchase, because they are in dire need of a new vehicle. The decision was made to lease the vehicle, because the interest rates are low enough that it makes it easier on the municipality, according to Chief Financial Officer Lisa Vass. “Under the short term borrowing, I have the flexibility to pay the truck down the day after we take the loan out if I choose to. So that’s why I’ve suggested to do it this way,” said Vass. “It has to be paid off within five years, but if we come into some cash that we can use, we can pay this off next year.” Council voted unanimously to make the purchase.

New workshops and retreats offered Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net A number of workshops and retreats, hosted by Liza Hindmarch of Munay Holistics, will be coming up in May. Hindmarch was originally trained in outdoor education, and taught children with emotional and behavioral problems back in the United Kingdom before immigrating to Canada. “I also trained in homeopathy just prior to coming to Canada, which gave me a board base from which to integrate the mind, body, and spirit aspects of my Holistic Coaching work now. I trained in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and also The Journey (a mind body based therapy) and more latterly in Family Constellation work,” she said. “I bring all these tools with me in my one-to-one work with clients who are looking to transform and make shifts in their lives.” On Saturday, May 4, there will be a one-day workshop titled, Using the Enneagram for Self Awakening. “The Enneagram is a power-
ful tool for self exploration, and I expect people will come away from the workshop with many new insights into themselves and others they know,” Hindmarch said. On Sunday, May 5, Hindmarch will be hosting a oneday workshop titled Healing the Family Soul. “This offers participants a chance to explore where they may inadvertently be entangled in their family history, and provides a chance to free themselves of patterns they have been unable to shift, because they have instead unknowingly belonged to an ancestor. This day is profoundly healing,” she said. Another event will be a free Women’s Sharing Circle which will run for a number of months starting on May 7. Hindmarch said this event will be beneficial for women because it gives them a chance to come together, share, and be heard in an environment of compassion and non-judgment. This circle will happen the first Tuesday of every month. The final special event Hindmarch will be hosting

Cedar Lake vandalized 2013-04-23 Police were notified of damage that had been done to the Cedar Lake Forestry Campground. The damage came to light as a result of comments posted online. Police attended to the campground and confirmed that significant damage had been done to the area. Outhouses and garbage bins were destroyed and spray painted. Police are currently working on some leads and are hopeful the person(s) responsible will be identified and held to account. Anyone with information is asked to call the Golden RCMP at (250) 344-2221 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222TIPS(8477).
Behind the Wheel Unsafe Headlight Conversions Could you perhaps comment on poorly focused hi intensity illegal conversions done to forward lighting on vehicles asks a reader. He has had many of my friends comment on how newer vehicles with hi tech headlights have made night driving uncomfortable and unsafe for them. I’ve noticed that some of these conversions are also difficult to look at during the day as well. All of the components of the lighting system must be marked by the manufacturer to show that they meet standards. For headlights with filaments, you will find a North American SAE code or a European E code on the lens that starts with an H. The filament bulbs meant for use in these headlight housings will also start with an H. The newer gas discharge headlights similarly start with a D. It is both dangerous and illegal to mix these, and the most common conversion is to put a D type discharge capsule into an H type housing. This results in significant glare for other road users because the housings can no longer focus the light from the lamp properly. It also means the loss of ability to switch between high and low beam for vehicles with only one headlight on each side. Beware! Some “good deals” on eBay and through less scrupulous suppliers are marked with SAE, DOT or E markings but are counterfeit and do not do the intended job properly. Inspection facilities have reference material to help the inspector determine if a “fake” is being used and when they are found the vehicle must be failed. This effectively removes the vehicle from the road until satisfactory repairs are carried out. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

Star OPINION
No excuses for actions
Would you buy pants from a lighting store?
It seems as if ever since there were schools, there were bullies to make other kids’ lives miserable. Technology has taken the bullying to a new level of abuse. Where in the past a tortured student could at least get away from the attackers at home, now the internet has made it possible for the cowards, - My Way who do nothing more than destroy good kids, By Darryl Crane to continue the abuse online. You have to feel sorry for the students who suffer through this on a daily basis. Many people have stories of getting picked on in school. I find it necessary to say, since I am talking about this topic, that I was slugged around more than once while trying to survive high school. And I did look at it as just surviving a place that resembled a boxing ring, as much as it did a place of learning. There have been many stories recently in the news about how far this bullying can go, and what tragedies can stem from it. Simply put, kids are taking their lives rather than having to face the abuse. They need help now. So many things are wrong about what is happening. A school should be a place where children go and feel safe. It should be a place of learning, where children can develop into decent human beings. But after hearing some of the stories recently, I question if this is in fact true. This is not about everyone getting a long. This is not a utopia or a perfect world where we all stand arm in arm singing songs of peace. But it should be a place where, if you don’t like someone, then you just leave them alone. Bullying at any age is nothing more than a sign of disrespect. Parents have to be involved with the solution. Children can learn both good and bad from their parents. If they witness the bully in their parents, then they too will believe it is the right way to act. Respect has to be taught to these children. The children who are responsible for the bullying should be held accountable for their actions. That is a lesson that is important in life. Cyber attacks are difficult to prove because it is a world where you can be anonymous and free to say what you want, knowing that you can probably get away with your hidden comments. These attacks may just be words, but when the world can see what is being said, and kids are being told they should be doing horrible things to themselves, then the emotional impacts of what is happening can be worse than the physical side of bullying. In my case, the mental stress of worrying about getting beaten up, was always much worse that the actual physical act itself. Anticipation of having to face the people who are making your life a living hell never ends, even when you are at home. Figuring out what needs to be done to make this situation better is not going to be easy, but the time has come to start the conversation. Too many children suffer from this kind of abuse in school in today’s world, and it is about time that something real was done to help them.

APES Principal’s Report Vicci Nelson Principal Alexander Park School Hooray, it looks like spring has arrived at last! Finally, gone are snow pants, toques, winter boots, and thankfully all of the snow from the playground at Alexander Park. Children are eagerly going outside at recess and lunch to play soccer, games of tag, and to practice their skipping skills. The end of April and the month of May promise to be busy ones. May 8 to May 12 is an interim reporting period. During this time your child’s teacher will be contacting you by phone, sending home a written report, or requesting a parent/teacher conference to inform you of your child’s progress. In the coming weeks, we are looking forward to a performance by the GSS bands, our Jump Rope for Heart afternoon, and the annual Bike Rodeo morning. Flower Basket pick up is also on May 10 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. in the APES gym. Parents are asked to be on the lookout for the ‘A.P.E.S. Chatter’ and individual class newsletters for the latest information and dates on what is
happening around Alexander Park School. If you have forgotten to register your child for Kindergarten next fall, it’s not too late to do so. Please come to the school and register your child as soon as possible. If there is a possibility that your child, presently in Kindergarten to Grade 2, will not be attending Alexander Park next year, please inform the office as soon as possible. We are already working on class configurations and staffing for the 2013/2014 school year and we can better meet the needs of students next year with accurate enrollment data. Parents, remember learning doesn’t only happen in the classroom. Children learn valuable lessons through simple, fun activities at home, like baking a cake or writing a thank you note. Parents can give their child a boost by working with them at home, and that doesn’t have to mean sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. Everyday home activities can be extremely valuable learning experiences for your child. Find time each day to read, write, count, or just to have a conversation with your child. Have fun learning together!

Last week, as I was struggling to get my bicycle out of the canopied box of my pick-up truck parked outside OK Tire, a young fellow, perhaps 16 or 17 years old who was walking by, stopped and asked if I needed help getting my bike out. I was stunned with disbelief and said no even though I should have said yes. Teenagers tend to have a bad rap these days and this young man, in a moment of thoughtfulness, has me reconsidering my view of some of today’s youth. And was he carrying a skateboard? I think so but the moment was so brief, I don’t remember what was tucked under his arm. Perhaps people do not fully consider the consequences of a RAK (a Random Act of Kindness) when they make an offer to help, but I must say how much that brief moment impressed me. I hope this young man has seen the star and realizes that a stereotype crumbled. Thanks, Alan Major Golden

(Hel- entirely separate party. lo NDP fast ferries, Bingogate, etc.) This election is between Premier However, today’s BC Liberal Party Christy Clark’s plan for a strong
economy and secure tomorrow, and Adrian Dix and the NDP’s plan to boost taxes, hike spending, and rack up debt—one deficit at a time. That’s the choice, pure and simple, as Doug Clovechok well knows. If you don’t want the borrow, tax, and spend policies of the NDP, I also respectfully ask that you consider the consequences of a vote for John Cummins and the BC Conservatives. It may actually result in a pathway to the NDP forming the next government. Some are saying they will just stay home and not vote. Please consider that this will only help those whose economic policies will diminish the prospects for our next generation. Let’s not wake up on May 15 and regret the outcome. Let’s stay with what keeps B.C. working - the BC Liberals. Thank you for your vote.

2013 Town of Golden mosquito program is underway Morrow BioScience Ltd. Submitted The 2013 Town of Golden Mosquito Control Program is now underway. Mosquitoes go through four distinct stages of development during their life: egg, larvae, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid on the surface of standing water or on soil that is prone to flooding. Eggs of some species can remain dormant for many years before hatching. When in contact with water during the spring and summer, the eggs hatch as larvae, which feed on plant material and quickly develop into pupae. The pupae then mature into adult mosquitoes, which emerge from the surface of the water. Following mating, adult females search for a blood meal to complete egg development. Rainfall, snow melt, and rising river heights in the spring and summer result in the flooding of many low lying areas which can serve as mosquito development sites.
Site monitoring by the Mosquito Control Contractor’s staff is conducted on a continuous basis throughout the late spring and summer to determine the species, number, and level of maturity of mosquito larvae present during this period. Morrow BioScience Ltd. will undertake biological control efforts directed at the mosquitoes in the larval stage. This is achieved by identifying and monitoring sites where mosquito larvae are present and applying a granular mosquito larvicide, Aquabac 200G. This larvicide contains a naturally occurring bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis) known as Bti, which targets mosquito larvae but does not harm birds, mammals, beneficial insects or amphibians. This product is registered for this use in Canada. Larvicide applications are made by hand, blower, or helicopter. Effective mosquito control must combine the efforts of individual Land / Home Owners with those of a competent Mosquito Control Contractor in seeking to eliminate mosquitoes before they emerge as adults.
Where possible, Home / Land Owners should try to eliminate areas where water can collect such as clogged gutters, old tires, discarded containers, wheelbarrows, trays under flower pots, stored boats and canoes, etc., as these all serve as ideal habitat for mosquito development. Further, residents should drain and refill display ponds, wading pools, bird baths, outside pet dishes, and livestock troughs frequently. Individuals may protect themselves from adult mosquito annoyance by putting a barrier between them and those mosquitoes. Ensure good screens are in place on all windows & doors, limit outdoor activity during dusk & dawn, wear light-coloured long pants and shirts which are loosefitting. If more protection is desired, wear an approved repellent. Look for repellents that have a PCP number on the label as this means that the product has been tested for efficacy and safety (when used according to the directions on the label).

Golden Moments: Finding a little piece of Scotland on the shores of B.C. Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Corey Duncan was born in Airdrie, Scotland where she lived until 1955, when in her mid 20s, she came across the ocean to move to a small town on the west coast of Canada. One of the toughest parts of coming to Canada for Duncan was the week she spent coming across the Atlantic Ocean. “It took a week to cross a very rough Atlantic. I dined on crackers and ginger ale,” she said. After spending a weekend in Montreal with her aunt and uncle, she took the train to head west to British Columbia. “The first person I talked to on the train had a nice Scottish accent. He was the conductor on the train,” she said. After three days she made it to Vancouver where she met her fiancée before heading to Kimberley to get married. After the wedding, Duncan and her husband moved to Ocean Falls, a community on the central coast of B.C. “We had to go in by plane or boat. It was an inlet surrounded by mountains. When I got off the boat there I felt right at home because most of the accents were Scottish because Crown-Zellerbach (mill owners in the town) advertised in the old country papers. Many people decided to come to Canada,” she said. Although the community was isolated, Duncan said they had everything they needed in the town. “There were fishing boats that would come in and stock things up. We had a Hudson Bay Company when I first went there. We had everything.” While in Ocean Falls, Duncan had three sons who spent most of their childhood in the town. “They were all swimmers because there were lakes, rivers and so much water out there. They learned to swim right from the age of being in their diapers,” she
said. While in Ocean Falls her sons, Keith and Charles (ages eight and 11 at the time), were awarded medals of bravery in Ottawa from the Governor General for saving a clergyman who had fallen into a river near the town. “I had no idea what had happened. When they came home they were just soaked. I dumped them in a bath and it wasn’t until Rev. Betts came in and told me what had happened that I found out what they had done.” In an odd twist to the story, the man saved in the incident had been a minister of the United Church in Golden before moving to Ocean Falls. Duncan added that all of her sons were good athletes, not just in water, but in other sports as well. Her youngest son John played football in Kelowna before moving on to play at Bishop’s University in Quebec. The family moved to Golden when a friend suggested they could work in the area. “We knew someone here who worked in the mill in Golden and he had been up in Ocean Falls before,” she said. “He was the one who helped convince us to come to Golden.” Duncan enjoyed many things about being in Golden when she first came to town. “I worked at Barlow’s department store and that was great. They were so good to us. I was driving then too, which was nice because I did not drive in Ocean Falls.” Over the years Duncan said she has become very comfortable living in Golden. “There are good people who live here. I love the people and I have lots of friends,” she said. “I enjoy dropping by the bake shop to see friends.” She said one of the things she has enjoyed using is the Pedestrian Bridge which expanded the area where she could walk around town. Corey Duncan came to Canada in the 1950s Duncan said that over the years Golden has changed a great deal, but she still loves being in the town and to get married and start a new life in British Columbia. Darryl Crane/Star Photo enjoys the natural beauty in the area.

Over the years since Golden was founded there have been a number of schools that have been closed and that today most people would not have a memory of. Mountain Ridge School was that closed and very few people are left who have memories of it. It was located up on the McMurdo Bench on donated land, built with lumber donated by the Moren family, timber from the Jacobs family and volunteers from the Sargeant, Wil-

liams, Smith, Jacobs, Braisher, Moren and the Swamson families. My father, Harold Rauch was a pupil and Mountain Ridge School and friends with Victor Hunt who is responsible for the rest of the column. Victor Hunt attended Mountain Ridge School from 1933-38. Mountain Ridge was a one room school house that was located on the McMurdo Bench. Miss McIntosh, Miss McKenzie, Mr. Coy and Mr. Stuart were the teachers during those five years. When children misbehaved they would have to stay in after school and Victor always seemed to get more than anyone else. Victor recalls, Rudolph Stoller giving the teacher Mr. McCoy a real hard time. Mr. McCoy had come to the end of his rope and asked the students what they would do if the punishment was up to them - Rudolph got the strap. Victor would have to walk about half a mile to school, not only did he walk but he pulled Florence Jacobs along to school as well. He wore pants, a shirt and jacket, and if there was enough money, leather boots with hob nails, wool long johns and hand knit wool socks. During lunch hour Victor would play ball most of the time he would just get into trouble. He recalls when he saw the teacher push her chair back and reach in her desk he knew he’d hear “Victor, come up here.” The school had a sports day on the last day of school. They would have lemonade and ball games. Once they even had Nicholson
Pictured above is the Mountain Ridge School built on the McMurdo Bench 25 km south of Golden on land donated by Harley Jacobs. Funds for the windows, door, tar paper, nails, stove, desks and blackboards came from the BC Department of Education. The teacher in this picture was Beatrice McKenzie.

L to right front row: Pete Palumbo, Billy Rusk, Joan Rusk, Sam Palumbo, Florence Jacobs. Photo courtesy of The Golden Museum School up for a day. When Mr. McCoy left the school to teach elsewhere he bought a gallon tub of ice cream for the kids, hat was a real treat. While going to school Victor would sometimes have lard or jam on homemade bread sandwiches, but never peanut butter because that was a delicacy, he even took raw turnips or deer meat.
All these lunch items were carried to school in a five pound Silverleaf lard pail. First thing in the morning the class would have to sing “God Save The King,” someone would have to nudge Victor to wake him up or he would fall right on the floor. After school Victor would sometimes go down over the hill to the river and fish. He and his buddies would fill up with
newly caught fish. Mrs. Rauch would can the fish for the next time the boys went fishing. Victors best friends were Harold Rauch and Irwin Jacobs. As the families were not rich a partition could not be built to separate the school house. Victor thinks it was an advantage because they needed all the students in one room to keep warm.

Abbeyfield House Rose Gardens need help to bloom Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The beautiful rose gardens in front of Abbeyfield House bloom every spring, and make the community that much more special for both residents and visitors. The gardens, how-
ever, need a little help every year to continue blooming. Ever since the gardens were planted in 2000 through a Communities in Bloom initiative, a small group of volunteers have come back every year to tidy up and fertilize the gardens. “We have a core
group that always comes, but we’re losing people due to age and moving away,” said Penny Shapperd, who was part of that original Communities in Bloom group. “We thought this would be a good project for Communities in Bloom to under-
take…It lifts your spirits when you walk past, and you can smell the roses.” Shapperd expects that the work that needs to be done (weeding, fertilizing, pruning etc.) will take about three sessions, depending on how many volunteers come out. She usually gets between five and eight people coming out, but if 10 to 15 came, they could get all the work done much more quickly. “It’s a problem getting people to help with the clean up in the spring. Everybody is so busy,” she said. There is no gardening experience required to come and volunteer, Shapperd can show everyone what needs to be done. She recommends that you wear long sleeves, and bring a rake, kneeling pad, pruning sheers, and gloves if you have them. “The ones who come all the time, we all have a few of each of these things, and we bring everything we’ve got and lend them out. But if you’ve got it, it helps,” said Shapperd.

Sue Gould, explained what was going to be happening musically at the auction this year “I was originally approached to join up with the silent auction to put a music festival in,” she said. Gould said she thought it was a great idea so she talked to some of the other music teachers in Golden and they were very excited about the potential for the event. Performers will compete in two categories at the event. There is a 12 and under and an over 12 category for competitors. “One category will be held in the morning on the Saturday and then the older group will perform in the afternoon,” she said. Gould said the spirit of the event is to have the chance to perform. “It is all about the performance. We are encouraging them to get up and say a little about the piece and themselves. They will be lovely performances and it will be an entertaining picture.” Four adjudicators will decide who the winner will be from each categories. They will each receive a $100 scholarship and get the chance to play at the Mother’s Day Tea where they will be the opening act for Sarah Hagen. There will be around 20 performers at the Rotary Auction. “I think it is a wonderful opportunity for the students to play on the wonderful grand piano at the Civic Centre. It will also be a great day for the general public who are coming out for the auction to see what our kids are doing in this town,” she said.

The Bronze age returns at the Art Gallery of Golden
The bronze art of Pat Luders will be on display at the Art Gallery of Golden until May 21. Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net The Art Gallery of Golden (AGOG) has opened a new show of bronze works by artists Pat Luders from Fairmont Hot
Springs. The show, titled Portraits in Bronze, will be at the gallery until May 21. “I am very happy that AGOG would have me here. I have never had a solo show before, so
this is very exciting,” she said. She made the decision to go to art school during a mid-life change of career. “I stuck my toe in and got caught in the art world,” she said. “I dabbled in everything

revolves around working with people, recently Luders has also started working on using bronze to create works of art that forever capture the face of her friends’ pets. “This was a challenge. My friend did not want to have herself done but did want to have her dogs around forever. I tried and talked to a local vet who explained canine anatomy,” she said. Luders said the work is very labour intensive. She starts with clay and uses many photos to capture the image she is searching for. “It could take up to 80 hours,” she said. She said once she reaches a point where she has the clay where she wants it, she then decides whether to use plaster or bronze in the sculpture. “People who are very interesting for me are seniors, who have meant a great deal to their community,” she said. She also does work with bronze and other materials to make tables. “The ones in the show are all made from reclaimed material. They are laminated together… the wood was from the demolition of a school in Kimberley,” she said. “It is fun to work in the two different mediums. The tables allow a freer exploration and the material is endless.”

Moose Trax brings in Gerry’s Gelati to keep things cool during the summer Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Summer is almost here, and this year you won’t have to drive all the way to Invermere for your favourite summer treat. Moose Trax in downtown Golden is now serving gelati, from the famous Gerry’s Gelati in Invermere. “I had ice cream last year, but you can get ice cream lots of different places. I just wanted to do something different. And I really like that it’s local,” said Janet Crandall, owner of Moose Trax which is now entering its second summer in business. “I really like the flavour selection, you can get your standard ice cream flavours. But you can also get some really different ones.” The specially ordered display freezer arrived at the store on April 23, along with a selection of delicious gelati. There will be seven flavours in store at all times, and Crandall will be changing up the selection with every order, yet still keep some local favourites, whatever those turn out to be. “I don’t have a favourite flavour yet, but I really like the sorbets. The mango is great. The raspberry cheesecake is really good too,” said Crandall. The prices will stay in line with the prices at Gerry’s Gelati in Invermere. One scoop is $3, two scoops is $4.25, and three scoops will be $5.50. It will also be available to take home by the pint. Soon to come will also be hand made waffle cones and bowls. “Making the waffle is not the hard part, it’s flicking it off the pan and moulding it into a cone. I’m going to have bandaids on all my fingers, it’s really hot,” joked Crandall. Moose Trax, located at 101-421 9th Ave. N., is open Sunday to Friday.

Charlie Varalta
Charlie Varalta, who was a friend to all, died unexpectedly in Revelstoke, BC, on April 18, 2013. Charlie is survived by his sister Miki of Revelstoke; children Maria of Perth, Australia, Theresa (Paul) of Calgary, Joe of Vancouver, Dan of :inÂżeld, Jason (Miv) of Qualicum Beach and grandson Joe. He was pre-deceased by his parents Augusto and Maria, and his sister Vi. Charlie was born at home on the farm in Naples, Alberta where he lived through childhood. He played hockey, softball and was champion bantam-weight boxer in 1951. Charlie began his career as a journeyman mechanic in Calgary, and he was a very good one. He was “oldschoolâ€?; able to diagnose by listening, using a solid metal bar pressed against the engine block. Over the years he worked at various mechanic jobs until 1983 when he was hired on with the Golden School District. His duties widened to include driving the school bus on the Golden to Field run. He was very popular with his passengers. His retirement in 1993 was only partial; he had purchased the Pinewood Motel a few years earlier, and this was his Âżnal job. The vacancy rate was low, and his backyard was the neighbourhood gathering place. Total retirement came after relocating to Revelstoke to join his long-time partner Elaine. He purchased property in Trout Lake where he could be in his boat in minutes to pursue his favourite pastime; Âżshing. Despite never being able to catch “the big oneâ€? during any of the local Âżshing derbies, Charlie would have declared each and every day a grand success. The Âżre pit beside his trailer at Trout Lake with the veranda over the Lardeau River was where the day’s stories were shared, especially with good friends Jim and Fred. A funeral was held at St Francis of Assisi Church in Revelstoke on April 2 . ,f desired, in lieu of Ă€owers, a charitable donation may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Soccer coaches continue training during season
This past weekend volunteer coaches from the Golden Minor Soccer Association and Invermere Minor Soccer attended the BC Soccer Association’s Active Start and Fundamentals training clinics presented by instructor Joe Jhutty (in the middle of the back row). GMSA offers this coaching course free to its volunteer coaches as the first step into the national coaching certification process. There are 64 parents and high school students who are volunteering as coaches with GMSA this season. These coaches plan 16 practice/game sessions for 32 teams during the eight-week season.

Karate popularity continues to increase in Golden Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net In just one year, karate in Golden has gone from 18 students, up to 66, and gives students of all ages and various skill levels a place to learn. “We study Shotokan Karate, and are part of the International Shotokan Karate Federation with over 40,000 members world wide,” said Tyler Tetrault, karate instructor. The increase in students can be largely attributed to the club offering to teach five to nine years olds, which has brought in 34 students. Some of their parents even decided to join. The skills and benefits you get from karate span all ages.
“Karate is not about learning how to fight. Karate is about learning how not to fight, by becoming master of yourself, your environment, and situations you put yourself in,” said Tetrault. “The physical benefits of karate include increase in balance, co-ordination, speed, strength, and endurance.” Students will also get lifelong benefits from karate including improved focus, confidence, will power, determination, as well and the desire and tools for self-improvement. “Karate is unique from many athletic activities in that it is life long, with many people training through their 70s and 80s,” said Tetrault. The club is in its building phase, with the majority of the students being young beginners. They advance through the coloured belt grading system two times a year when the
chief examiner for British Columbia comes to Golden for testing in November and June. “The focus is on development of this group, so in four to five years we will have a very strong adolescent group of advance karate students with the aim of competing in provincial and national tournaments,” said Tetrault. The club is also working towards a long term goal of building their own Dojo (training facility) either for themselves, or working with other groups in the community who may be interested in a deluxe athletic training facility that would capitalize on the Town’s diverse athletic opportunities. Karate is nearing the end of its season, but anyone interested in joining in the fall can contact Tetrault at 344-4845 or tyler@mountainsidegardens.ca.

Go to Golden Youtube video shows off what people can do Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Within a day, this Youtube video was up to 1,000 hits, and has climbed steadily ever since. Go to Golden, you wont be bored, filmed by Bill Braisher, shows outsiders just how much Golden has to offer. “There’s just so much to do in Golden that I don’t think people realize,” said Braisher, who has been working on this project for a couple years now. Owner of the Winston Lodge, Braisher has always been interested in getting involved in the tourism industry. In fact, he began this video project before he purchased the lodge. “It was really important to me to make this non-biased. I want this to be an invitation to the world from every tourism outlet, all
groups and companies in Golden,” he said. The 23-minute video features well over 100 different things to do in and around the community, including ATVing, hunting, hiking, as well as showcasing many of the facilities in Golden, like the pump track and the Golden Civic Centre. “There is definitely more to come,” said Braisher, who already has a list of about 20 activities that didn’t make the first video. “I’d been working on it for so long, that I decided I had to stop myself and put something together.” The goal of the video is to show the world how much there is to do in the community, and hopefully get them calling Tourism Golden, and the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce to find out
where they can go to do the things they saw in the video. “I’m hopeful that they’ll get a lot of calls about this,” said Braisher. “And I’m hoping that they’ll be able to tell them exactly where to go for the paintball, and petting zoo.” This is just one piece of Braisher’s overall plan to help grow Golden’s tourism industry. He is hoping to get on the board of Tourism Golden, and will be releasing more videos in the future. “This one turned out to be a bit like a news report, with me standing in front of these places and talking about what they do. For the next one I’d like to be a little more involved, with me actually doing the paragliding, and actually getting in the canoe, that sort of thing,” he said.
Breakfast is served
So far the feedback has been perfect, said Braisher, and all the companies and groups involved have been happy about how
diverse the snapshot of Golden was. “The best advertising is word of mouth,” said Braisher. “I’m hoping this will really help grow
tourism in Golden.” A link to the video can be found on the Golden Community Facebook page, or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
ojnfOaNxmt0&feat ure=youtu.be. And most of the activities featured in the video can be found at www.golden.ca.
