Third time’s a charm for Macdonald Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net
It was a bitter sweet victory for the now threetime Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA, Norm Macdonald, who once again won his seat with more than 6,000 votes, but also saw the BC NDP stay in opposition provincially. Madonald was watching the results of the 2013 provincial election at his home office in Golden, surrounded by supporters and well wishers. "I am very proud of the campaign we ran locally. We based our campaign on the grassroots," he said. Macdonald thanked all of the people who came out to help with his campaign, and said the victory could not have happened without them. He added that he was disappointed that the message heard locally was not accepted in other areas of the province. The BC Liberals once again won a majority government with the BC NDP coming in second. "I think what it means for this area, again as an opposition member, is that I will have to fight as
effectively as I can for the interests of the area." BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok finished second to Macdonald. Clovechok said he was disappointed not to win but he was happy with the campaign. "I am absolutely thrilled with the results provincially. I knew right from the start that Christy Clark would form government again," Clovechok said. "I congratulated Mr. Macdonald. We are disappointed with the outcome (locally) but I am also proud of the volunteers we had. Mr. Macdonald said he would out-volunteer us and that did not happen." Conservative candidate Earl Olsen had a strong showing that saw him receive more than 1,000 votes. "Obviously, it did not goes as well as I would have hoped it would go for us, but at the same time I think overall for a start up, we did well," he said. "I don't think there is any doubt when looking at the numbers that we turned it in to a threeparty race. We did not help the Liberals efforts in the area," Olsen said.

Olsen was quick to praise Macdonald for his victory. "My message to him is congratulations. He ran a great campaign and I enjoyed campaigning with him and against him. He is a gentlemen." Now that the election is over, Clovechok said he hopes that Macdonald realizes he has to make sure he continues to represent the people in the district. "We are going to hold Mr. Macdonald's feet to the fire. The people in Columbia River-Revelstoke spoke, and they decided to keep the NDP in this riding, which means yet again it is a riding that does not have a member of the government," Clovechok said. Macdonald said that fight will start right away with issues surrounding dialysis, and many other items on the agenda when he gets back to Victoria, even though he is once again on the opposition side of the house. "The people here have chosen me as their representative, and we will hold them (the BC Liberals) to an account. We will fight to make sure this area is strongly represented."

Serving the Columbia Valley
Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net For the past seven years, Golden has been part of a small group of municipalities in British Columbia, only 14 in total, who are part of the Resort Municipality Initiative. Jon Wilsgard, chief administrative officer for the Town of Golden, gave an update on Golden’s RMI projects at Tourism Golden’s annual general meeting. As a member of this group, Golden gets approximately $500,000 per year for tourism related projects, and the town has a lot of those projects on the go right now. “Things are going great,” said Wilsgard. “But it’s important to remember that this funding is for building things, not maintaining them.” In the past few years, several projects have been completed, including some of the signage (like the roundabout by the Visitor’s Centre, which is waiting for some lighting), and the Nordic Centre at Dawn Mountain. 2012 is the start of a new five-year place, and there are a number of things the Town is hoping to get underway in that time. They are looking at the possibility of a permanent structure at Spirit Square, one that would accommodate the summer performances with a covered stage, and also have bathrooms, and possibly some sort of concession space. There will be more signage on the way, and hopefully one on Hwy 1 Frontage Road near

In fact, they are also looking at ways to improve the overall appearance of the Frontage Road, which would not only require a large budget, but also the co-operation from BC Highways. Wilsgard is in the conceptual stage for a new message board in the town, one that would let visitors and locals know what’s going on around the community, and possibly serve as a medium for displaying some local art.
Golden celebrates local government Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Local Government Awareness Week is coming up from May 19 to 25, and the Town of Golden has planned a few activities to get the community involved in what they do. The week is a combination of Local Government Awareness Week, National Public Works Week, and BC Water and Waste Association Drinking Water Week. Town staff will be attending
primary and elementary schools for presentations on water conservation, general town operations, and at-home fire safety. “On one of the afternoons, public works and the fire departments will be displaying equipment at Alexander Park Elementary School to provide the opportunity to come out and sit in some of the equipment and talk to the operators about what they in their jobs,” said Chris Cochran, manager
of operations for the Town of Golden. The Town will also be hosting a drinking water themed colouring contest. Starting May 15, colouring sheets will be available at Town Hall (810 9th Ave. S.), and kids will have until May 31 to hand in their coloured sheets. There will be two prizes awarded for best colouring, and two random prize draws for a 10-pass card to the Golden Municipal Swimming Pool.

Boat launch underway at Kinbasket Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Kinbasket Reservoir will be a little more user friendly this summer when BC Hydro completes the new boat ramp at Bush Harbour. On-site construction work to finish the boat ramp is currently underway, and is expected to be completed by the end of May, just in time for the summer boating season said Jennifer Walker-Larson, a communication representative for BC Hydro. Construction began in the spring of 2010, but rising water levels prevented the ramp from being finished that year. The remaining concrete panels to finish the ramp were placed early last week, and crews are now installing the floating walkway and its anchors. The completed Bush Harbour boat ramp is designed to extend to a reservoir elevation of 724.6 metres (2377.4 feet). The ramp includes a floating walkway and
two floating log breakwaters to protect from wind and waves. The Kinbasket Reservoir water level is starting to rise and will soon allow the boat ramp to be used. BC Hydro plans to open the ramp to boaters on Saturdays and Sundays while onsite work to install the walkway continues. The ramp will be unavailable on weekdays until the project is completed, expected by the end of May 2013. BC Hydro built the new Bush Harbour boat ramp under the Columbia River Water Use Plan to improve reservoir recreation. Also under the Columbia River Water Use Plan, BC Hydro has a debris management program for Kinbasket Reservoir in place to remove floating woody debris and has a Recreation Demand Study underway to understand links between reservoir levels and boat recreation. There were many local businesses that helped with the construction process, including Shamrock Mountain Building, Chatter Creek Holdings, Golden Concrete, and Gottler Brothers.
Golden Minor Hockey presents big idea Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden Minor Hockey Vice President Mike Palumbo appeared before council to talk about an exciting project the club is working towards. For the past two years, the group has been discussing the possibility of constructing an outdoor arena in Golden. “At this point, it is a very initial discussion,” said Palumbo. “We just have a general idea and plan of what we’re thinking here.” The lighted outdoor arena, spanning 220 by 110 feet, would be covered by an open timberframe structure, suitable for hockey games, tournaments, figure skating, and public skating, and would be named after former mayor Aman Virk. In the summer the space could be a multiuse facility suitable for summer sports, outdoor markets, and private functions. Right now the location is not set in stone, but the ideal spot for the project appears to be beside the Seniors Centre, where the Golden Horse Shoe Club used to operate. When the
club stopped being active, the land was given back to the Town. Palumbo’s hope in appearing before council was to secure that piece of land for the project. “Nobody is using it, and the building there is actually quite nice…There’s a mens and women’s bathroom, and enough room for a couple change rooms,” said Palumbo. There have been some initial promises of donated labour to cut down the costs of the first phase of construction (clearing trees etc.), and Palumbo expects that the overall budget would be between $400,000 and $500,00. Golden Minor Hockey would take on the cost and time to build the facility, but are asking that the Town of Golden take over operation costs once it is completed. However, Palumbo said that user fees from out of town user groups and tournaments would bring in significant funds. Council does not make decisions on requests during delegations, so they made the motion to defer the topic to the next council meeting for discussion.
Former actor and singer Stephen Keppler has settled into his new role as EZ Rock’s radio host in Golden. Keppler made the move to Golden from Vancouver (having grown up and lived all over western Canada), in February, and quickly became enamoured with the community. “After about a week of living here I kind of fell in love with the place,” he said. “The people here are super genuine. I forgot what it was like to drive down the street or go for a walk, and wave to just about everyone you see. You don’t get that in a big city.” With a strong background in performing (theatre shows, musicals, and improvisation), Keppler decided to pursue an education and career in broadcasting. “I decided to go to Vancouver to find myself, and I ended up going to school for broadcasting because it was something that was always in the back of my mind,” he said. “I didn’t realize my life experience would help me so much in that field.” He received an education at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts, worked at Virgin Radio in Vancouver while in school, and soon after, found the job in Golden. Admittedly a little nervous about the move, especially about leaving Vancouver’s vibrant arts community, Keppler has become immersed in the community in his three months here. “I move here, and the first two people I meet are Bill Usher and
Stephen Keppler EZ Rock Morning Host Mike Pecora, who are heavily involved in the community. I realized this town has way more to offer than I thought it would,” he said. “Golden is a new home for me, and it’s a breath of fresh air.” Keppler was forced to hit the ground running, covering all aspects of the radio industry including on air, advertising, sales, and anything else that needs to be done. However it is the on air hosting that really captures the radio personality’s passion and talent. “With my background I’m really comfortable with the radio medium. The radio is the first form of communication, because it’s one-toone. I’m directly speaking to everyone who listens to EZ Rock,” said Keppler. “I really enjoy focusing on the lighter side of the news, and life.” Keppler is the morning host for EZ Rock 106.3, and can be heard weekdays from 7 to 11 a.m.
Behind the Wheel Bicycle Lanes, Signs and Markings A reader from Vancouver asked me where the rules came from for bicycle lanes and signs as they could not be found in the provincial driving manual, Learn to Drive Smart. Included in the e-mail was a link to the City of Vancouver's web site which showed a collection of signs and markings that are now in use on the city streets there. I didn't think that this was going to be a tough question! I went to the Manual of Standard Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings for British Columbia. Surely I would find everything there. I couldn't, so I e-mailed the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and asked. The lady that responded pointed me to the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) who she advised were responsible for setting the standards. TAC's documentation is titled Bikeway Traffic Control Guidelines for Canada and must be purchased. Being resourceful (and thrifty) I searched the title on the internet instead. I was able to find a number of useful links that are listed with this article on the DriveSmartBC web site. So, if you are curious about what those "new" signs and pavement markings require you to do as either a driver or a cyclist, my best advice at this point is to check out the City of Vancouver's web site. It seems to be the most comprehensive of the free resources. I can summarize for you, keep your lane discipline, watch out for each other and exercise courtesy when you meet.

RCMP Report: Thieves found under truck by RCMP in Golden Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net
Motorcycle stolen 2013-05-08
Bike stolen in downtown Golden 2013-05-02 Police were called by a 13-year-old boy who had his bike stolen from outside the Moose Trax candy store on 9th Avenue North. After a search of the area and speaking with other store owners, police located the bike in the corridor between some buildings and returned it to the owner. No consent found on private property 2013-05-06 A report of people riding dirt bikes along the Blaeberry River and accessing it through private property led the Golden/Field RCMP out to the Blaeberry area. In one instance a property owner’s sign was pulled down. People are reminded that recreational use of motorized vehicles is restricted and they cannot be operated on private property without consent of the owner. Thieves found under a truck 2013-05-07 Golden/Field RCMP received a report of two males seen lurking around vehicles in the Alexander Park Drive area. Police responded and located two males hiding under a truck. The males were arrested for theft from a vehicle. The investigation is ongoing to determine how many vehicles were broken into.
Sometime between May 3 and 5, a 1977 Honda Trail motorcycle was stolen from a Nicholson area home. It is red in colour and has some specific markings on it. Anyone with information is asked to call the Golden RCMP or Crimestoppers. Driving privileges revoked 2013-05-09 A local driver lost his/her driving privileges for 90 days after failing a roadside screening device. The driver held a class 7 license, which prohibits driving after having consumed any alcohol, let alone enough to fail a roadside test placing their blood alcohol level over the legal limit. Golden RCMP kicks in on National Prescription Drop Off Day The RCMP would like to let everyone know that May 11 is National Prescription Drop Off Day. This is a Public Safety led initiative with a goal to provide the public with the opportunity, and encourage them to turn over all unwanted prescription medications so they can be safely destroyed. Expired and unused prescription medications pose a potential threat to Canadians for several reasons: the powerful, addictive and potentially dangerous medications attract criminals who seek profit through diverting and trafficking them to others; individuals, especially our youth, can ingest the medicines found in our homes or bought from dealers with potentially dangerous conse-
quences. Expired medicines pose a risk due to unanticipated complications as active ingredients break down and do not react as expected and improper disposal of the medications poses a risk to the environment. The Golden RCMP, in support of National Prescription Drop Off Day, will be accepting expired and unused prescription medications from Saturday, May 11 to Friday May 17, from anyone who is unable or may chose not to drop off at one of the local pharmacies. Drop off at the Golden RCMP can be done anonymously and there is no obligation for the public to provide their personal details. Saving lives during Canada road safety week May 13-20, 2013 will mark Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign aimed at making Canada’s roads the safest in the world. This campaign is a police initiative designed to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways. Educating the public about safe driving practices is a priority. The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk. It is a time to remind drivers and passengers across Canada to consciously consider safety whenever they get behind the wheel. Buckle seat belts and ensure youngsters are properly restrained in vehicles according to their age and size. Refrain from drinking and driving. Pay attention to the road at all times and refrain from aggressive driving and distracted driving behaviour. Officers will be continuing to enforce and raise awareness about safe driving. It is important to remember that road safety is everyone’s responsibility not just during Canada Road Safety Week but every day of the year.
London officer finds a new home with the Golden RCMP Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net It has been a long journey for Const. Mark Pattinson to come from the United Kingdom to Golden. Pattinson is an officer who brings 25 years of experience to the town. Starting in the United Kingdom in 1988, Pattinson worked for 20 years, mainly in and around London. “The biggest difference was that in London I serviced a large metropolitan area. It was very busy and a very violent society. I was regularly involved in street scuffles and public order types of things,” he said. He added he never carried a fire arm for the 20 years he was a police officer in London. “When I first joined, I had a wooden billy club and that was it.” Pattinson explained that for the first six months he was on the street, he did not even have handcuffs due to budget constraints. “I remember my first call I went to as a young lad. I went to a domestic problem. The guy would not listen to us and eventually we had to place him under arrest. We had to go hands on unfortunately. We were rolling around his front room and had to take off our pant belts to tie his hands up,” he said. Pattinson said the laws are very similar between the U. K. and Canada which has made his move to Canada easier. However, there is a great difference in the show of respect for police officers between the two countries. “You get people here coming up to you and telling you that you are doing a good job, they thank you for your efforts. Whereas, in the U.K. they throw something at you,” he said.
He said this lack of respect can be seen with other public servants in the U.K. as well. “I have been at calls where the fire department gets called out, and when they arrive, it is a hoax call. Then a group of 30 or 40 kids throw stones at them or drop stuff on their trucks from bridges,” he said. Pattinson said a number of his police cruisers were damaged over the years in the U.K from people throwing things at them. They threw chainsaws, a samurai sword that was put through the roof, and a refrigerator thrown on his vehicle from a high rise building. He said that he knew it was time for a change and Canada was the perfect fit. “I came to Canada for the first time in 1992 and my wife and I decided that this would be a good country for us,” he said. The couple moved to Canada in 2008 and he started working with the Calgary Police Service. After joining the RCMP, he was assigned to Golden in February. “I have hit the ground running here, and other than learning a few things, everything has been great.” As an outdoorsman, Golden is perfect for Pattinson. “I love hiking , skiing and all of these things are easily accessible. Here the rivers are free access and it is great,” he said Since coming to Canada the family has added a daughter. “It is a great quality of life here for us. Golden is awesome. I love the outdoor life and raising my little girl here will be perfect,” he said. “It is a nice town and people seem very decent. Policing is the same the world over. Provided that you treat people with dignity and respect, then you will gener- Const.

Star OPINION
The hard part begins
Capital Tax
All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if electedCarl Sandburg Getting elected is only the beginning. For some politicians, it is the start of a journey that will be remembered as a time where great things were accomplished, or fail- My Way ures were written about on a daily basis. By Darryl Crane After what could have been described as a twoyear campaign to win the hearts and minds of the voters in British Columbia, the latest election has now come and gone. During this period we have heard from all of the parties’ candidates about what they are going to do to look after us. Now the time has once again come where politicians have to sit back and realize that they have been elected. This means that all of those promises they talked about over the past two years, they now have to try to accomplish. The main problem with this is all too often the promises made are like Christmas, when jolly old St. Nick mixes up the houses he brings presents to. Then no one gets what they really wanted. There seems to be two ways to get a vote in modern democratic elections — promise the world, or remind everyone just how terrible the other parties are. During the run up to this election, voters were promised many things to make them want to vote for one party over another. Then on top of that, we are told to be afraid...be very afraid, of those other parties because if they get elected it will be one step closer to the apocalyptic nightmare we all know will come. That is the nature of the democracy beast. All too often I have heard people make comments around how they were going to vote for one side or the other, not because they particularly like the party or candidate, but more because they fear what the other side will do. It is too bad that fear campaigns are where we are in politics today. But it is true because they work. Fear can be a great factor to help get someone elected, and that is a dangerous game to play. Of course now that the election has ended parties will go to Victoria and sit across from each other and debate and debate and debate, about all of the important things for the province. Where will money be spent? How much help will seniors and children receive? Will the pipeline ever be built, and is there enough cash floating around to fill a few of the bigger holes on the Trans Canada Highway around Golden? The BC NDP have once again ended up on the opposition side of the house. For them the next few years will be spent complaining about all the things the government should be doing. For the BC Liberals, history will start the time clock on how they will be remembered. Those in power are the ones who get remembered for all they accomplish or for where they failed. Only time will tell us if all the promises made really accomplish anything in the end.
In its financial platform, the Provincial NDP has announced its intention to apply a capital tax to all BC Credit Unions with capital in excess of $20 million should they be elected. If this policy is implemented, it will have a significant impact on our organization and the people and organizations associated with us. This tax will be applied regardless of how profitable the credit union is. While other provinces in Canada apply a capital tax on business, cooperative enterprises such as credit unions, are exempted from the tax. As we understand this proposal, the cost to Kootenay Savings will be roughly $780,000 per year and
Proportional Voting Canada is one of the few countries that still is still using a “first past the post” voting system. Between 80 and 90 countries in the developed world have had a “proportional voting system” of one kind or another for most of the last century. Our system often results in phony “majority” governments with only 40 per cent of the votes or less like the one we have now and tends to be “exclusive, competitive and adversarial.” In our
will continue to increase annually as our capital base increases. This is a significant cost that will ultimately be borne by our members, our communities and our employees, as it will have to be paid from income that would otherwise be shared with our members, contributed to community organizations or paid in salaries and benefits. We sincerely hope that the NDP will reconsider this proposed tax on Credit Unions should they form the next Provincial Government. Brent Tremblay President and CEO Kootenay Savings Credit Union
system voter turnout has usually been approximately 60 per cent, sometimes less. Proportional voting enables parliament to hold government accountable, and it also means that political parties have to negotiate with each other to achieve their common goals. That’s why proportional representation creates a more consensual type of government and a more civilized style of politics. They force broader participation in government and also broader agreement on government policies.
These political systems tend to be “characterized by inclusiveness, bargaining and compromise.” Consensus democracies tend to have higher levels of voter satisfaction and much higher voter turnout. They elect more women and minorities, have better social programs, and are at least as well run as we are in terms of inflation and unemployment. Len Mulholland Nelson

Celebrating Community Spirit-One Idea at a Time! On Tuesday, June 18th, 2013 You are invited to participate in a Community Open House @ the Golden Civic Centre from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The objective of the event is for citizens to bring their ideas and concepts to a Community Table and listen to the many Community Projects that are underway or being percolated. Three questions will form the outcome of the evening and will appear in the Golden Star for the next three weeks.
Question #1 - I love my community because... “I’m pretty new, but I love that any activity you want to do is just a 10 minute drive away.”
“The people are very friendly. I deal with the public all the time, and it’s nice to be called by name.”

Please contact Karen Cathcart at the College for more information Carbon tax issues Dear Editor: It is more than just another hated tax; the Provincial carbon tax and Pacific Carbon Trust are glaring symbols of a failed political system that is monstrously imbalanced and out of touch with taxpayers. The tax accomplishes nothing according to our Auditor General, has been rejected by all other jurisdictions in North America as an unworkable concept, yet we see no move to address this from either main party. The party in power says it will freeze the current level of the tax but keep it in place, and the opposition party actually plans to expand it and put all the incoming funds under the BC Climate Action Secretariat, which is under the discretionary control of the Premier’s office.

We are in financial distress as a province, taxed to the limit, yet here we are tilting at windmills with this expensive game. We are a symbolic innovator, says one party in justification; the other at one time opposed it, but when it didn’t get them elected, they one-eightied and said they really loved it all the time. Whatever your degree of environmentalist commitment, the whole thing analytically nets out as just plumb dumb. And the hard truth is both main parties mislead, lie or game the subject, and it ends up just being about insatiable taxation and wasteful spending. We taxpayers had no democratic representation whatsoever throughout this dance macabre. So, if it is such a wasteful disaster as our Auditor General says and the public generally hates it and can ill afford it, where are the voices of reason and corrective change? Sorry, the system says, not allowed by party disci-
pline; we want the money more than we want to do right by the taxpayers. This is a sequel to the HST failure of governance and it is the epitome of a general failure of the system. To all you politicians who advocate nefariously, and to all you politicians who say nothing when you should speak out, you are flirting with sinking this obnoxious ship you sail on. Beware of your taunting and trivializing the electorate, because it is driving us toward a critical mass of dissatisfaction. You have gone too far. This may just be the beginning of an end you all created by the lack of free voices and lack of representative government, and you wouldn’t be the first in political history to have caused your own extinction.

Spring has finally come to Field and we’ve been enjoying playing soccer again! We were very lucky to have painting lessons from Joanie Young in May and the children were quite the budding artists! This week we start going to Canmore for swimming and gymnastics lessons. We are looking forward to hosting our moms at the Ladybug Tea and we are very excited to be having a sleepover at school at the end of the month. Mme. Fouillard is coming to join us as this was her idea (Mrs. Larose is not as excited about it as she is!) Our Grade 3 students are going to spend time with their Grade 3 friends in Mrs. Bennett’s class and next year’s Field Kindies are going to be visiting us at the same time. As always, it’s all “go” at Field School!
Join us and learn:

Golden Moments: Nothing feels better than being in Golden Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net
Bill Ewing knew the time had come to leave Ontario and found the perfect place to call home after visiting family in Golden. Ewing came to Golden in 1971 from Chatham, Ontario. He said that one of the main reasons the move was made, was because of his issues with arthritis. “I came out here for a visit to see my fatherin-law and it cleared up so I decided to stay.” Ewing said that the dry air in the mountains is much better for him compared to the dampness in the air back east. When he came to Golden the town left a unique first impression on him. “When my wife and I got off the train, we thought we had gone back in time,” he said. “They still had hitch rails in front of the old lodge where the hostel is now. Even the train station with the wooden platform looked like something from the past.” How the town looked was just the start for Ewing who also fell in love with the mountains. “I liked the scenery. If I go back to Ontario for a holiday, I can’t wait to get back because everything changes every day. You look out your window and there are different shapes in the mountain.” The first winter Ewing spent in Golden was one filled with heavy snow. “We had lots of snow back then. I know in 1971 when I was living in the trailer court, I remember shovelling snow off the roof of my trailer, but I had to throw it up in the air,” he said. “We had a tunnel going from our door out to the road.” Ewing spent a numbers of years working at the mill in Donald.
“Me and my cousin would be working outside when it was minus 20 in our t-shirts. People looked at us kind of funny, but it was different than Ontario. It wasn’t damp, it was dry,” he said. “I miss that mill since it closed down.” One thing he does not miss from those days is moving around the railway ties that were produced at the mill. Ewing said they were dangerous to move and workers really had to watch their feet when working with them. The friendliness of the people is something that has never changed since Ewing moved to Golden. “If you went into a store people would talk to you and ask if you wanted anything. Back in Chatham you did not know your neighbours. People kept to themselves. Here, I knew almost everyone in the trailer park in a week. The people did and still make you feel welcomed,” he said. Ewing said things have changed in Golden, many businesses have come and gone over the years, but that is just the way things go. “It has gotten a lot bigger and they have cleaned the town up quite a bit. It seems to get better every year. Some of the older buildings looked scruffy, and they have resurfaced them and made them more modern. It makes it look like home. That’s just the way of life.” Ewing did not enjoy his retirement as much as he hoped he would, so when he is not working part time at Tru Hardware he volunteers with The Royal Canadian Legion in Golden. “It is to support the vets. It is important to keep the Legion going. Those people serve our country and we need to support them,” he said.

Navneet Rondeau receives Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net While at a conference in Vernon, Capt. Navneet Rondeau of the 3066 LdSH(RC) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (RCACC), received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Rondeau found out in December that she was going to receive the award. “I was surprised and it was hard to believe,” she said. “It was shocking and exciting. I am honoured.” Rondeau did not know that her name was being considered for the award before finding out she was going to receive it. She felt it was important to say that the award was something she would share with the cadets in Golden. “It was exciting to share with them because they are the reason I have the award. In my opinion, I take pride in what I do and it is nice to be recognized. I don’t do it to receive something or to be acknowledged, but it is nice.” Rondeau said that she was humbled to receive the award that has been given to other people in Golden, for whom she has a great deal of respect. “I am so proud to be recognized with people like Paul (Hambruch) and Christina (Benty). I knew Mr. Hambruch. He was a great supporter for the cadets. He made personal donations to army cadets that helped us over the years. Christina is a friend of mine and to receive it together makes it a little more special,” she said. Rondeau wanted to stress how important the cadets are for children in the area. She said the cadets gives members a chance to learn about many different things while making new friends. “It is about adventure and friendship and it is free. There is no charge. We do fund-raising sometimes to support our legion. Right now we are offering services to people who are looking to have their yard maintenance done, with all funds raised going to the local legion.” Anyone interested in using the yard service can call Pictured left to right are Aneesha Birk, Seth Rondeau, Capt. Navneet Rondeau, Mitasha Sewprashad and Commander Stan Bates. Photo Submitted Rondeau at 250-344-2312.

The Art Gallery of Golden never ceases to amaze with one exciting exhibit after another, and such a variety of artisanal products for sale. Anyone who doesn’t stop in at least a few times a year truly misses a rich element of our community. Art on stamps has become a popular topical among collectors, and postal administrations have made an annual art stamp a staple among their issues. Canada Post has expanded its art series to include the work of great photographers. Ask for this set of ten stamps at our local Post. Depending on how broadly one wants to define the topic, all stamps are a work of art so to speak. And, most early stamps were all based on portraits of royalty or events such as Fathers of Confederation, painted by Robert Harris and issued as a stamp in 1917. The first stamps issued to specifically feature art works themselves was a 1967 set based on works by the “Group of Seven.” They celebrated our nation with paintings showing natural wonders and settings. Being a farm boy and enjoying the mountains, my favourites are John Ensor’s painting of grain elevators in the snow titled Summer Stores, and Lawren Harris’s Bylot Island with its icy mountain inlet. Mary Irqqiquq’s two soapstone sculptures were used for the 1968 Christmas stamps, and the centennial of the birth of painter Marc-Aurele de Fiy Suzor Cote was commemorated in 1969 with his painting Returning from the Harvest Field. It shows a couple carrying grain sheaves on their backs. This was the beginning of full colour art stamps, doing more justice to the work of artists. The fiftieth anniversary of the “Group of Seven” was marked in 1970 with a painting by Arthur Lismer, and the next year Emily Carr was feted with a reproduction of Big Raven. Several of Robert Bateman’s wildlife paintings became the basis for a series in the late 1970s. He made a presentation in Golden some years ago and autographed one of my covers (envelope with stamp and cancel) of his bison stamp. A 1988 large-size, international rate stamp showed Ozias Leduc’s The Young Reader. Fourteen stamps in this now annual series were issued over the next dozen years. Maybe the names are familiar: The Automatistes, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Jean-Paul Lemieux, Homer Watson, Dorothy Knowles, Mary Pratt, Jack Bush, and Daphne Odjig. In 2008, the “art” was photographs taken by the famous photographer Yousef Karsh, and in 2012 sculptures by Joe Fafard were featured. For a look at this “art exhibit” and other examples, join the Golden Stamp Club at Trinity Lutheran Church, 3:00pm, Sunday, May 26. Questions? Ron at 250-344-5939 or relich@uniserve.com .

Vancouver trio The Shrugs coming to town
The Shrugs, are going to play a live performance in Golden, for one show only at the Rockwater Grill and Bar, on Thursday May 16. Photo Submitted Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Vancouver’s up and coming indie band, The Shrugs, are coming to Golden for one show only at the Rockwater Grill and Bar on
Thursday May 16. Young, brilliant and unique, The Shrugs are among Canada’s most promising indie-rock acts. The trio made up of Caitlin Connelly (vocals), Brandon Johnas (guitar) and Stephanie
Cole (bass), compose emotionally charged songs inspired by hyperactive imaginations, and a passion for creativity. Their music may reflect their influences, such as Metric and the Arcade Fire, but
the band has etched its own distinct mark on their genre. In 2011 the band hit the studio with critically acclaimed producer Jeff Dawson (Daniel Powter, Kelly Rowland, State of Shock). The result was an EP, Til the World Ends, showcasing the band’s talents, and bringing to light a polished foursong product that truly highlights their unparalleled sound. Hard work ethic coupled with a strong sense of community inspires The Shrugs to make regular charitable contributions while connecting with their fans on the closest personal level. Exhibiting a strong level of maturity has fueled fan allure, while capturing the attention of a number of industry executives, and charting at number 10 on the Top 10 Most
Active Indies Chart in August 2012. They also participated in the 2012 CFOX Seeds Competition in Vancouver as a Top 20 band, and are continuing their upward climb to major success in Canada’s music industry. To hear music from Til the World Ends, go to www.theshrugsmusic.com.

After their first year having Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in their coverage area, Tourism Golden has some positive figures to report at their annual general meeting on May 2. Their revenue from the two per cent accommodators’ tax increased by nine per cent for their past fiscal year, with overall revenue increasing by just under nine per cent. “We are in a strong financial position,” said Joanne Sweeting, marketing manager for Tourism Golden. Sweeting said they’ve made in the past year (such as a 19 per cent increase in website visits), and the community’s extensive coverage in national and even international media.

Tourism Golden held a vote at their annual general meeting to fill three board positions. Mike Dhami, from left, Lynn Moffat and Ken Chillibek were voted in. Les Morgetak (not pictured) also gained a board position. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo packed for the AGM, serving as an indicator of just how much the organization has strengthened in the seven years since it began. It was not too long ago Tourism Golden struggled to find people to serve on their board. Now they are holding elections for board positions because too many people put
their names forward. Moving forward, Tourism Golden intends to build on the success they have been having. They are continuing to work on their website, and will be launching a threeyear research project to gather behavioural and satisfaction information about visitors to Golden. “The increase in accommodator tax
revenue indicates success, but it tells us nothing about our customers,” said Sweeting. The research project will explore who Golden’s visitors are, what they do while they are here, what they are happy with, and what they are not happy with. All the data will be confidential, and will help tourism companies improve their operations.

Coupland explained that her whole family was involved with the legion. “It was my desire to help out with my children and husband. We all worked diligently together. I always wish my husband was here to see this because he was the one who helped guide me,” she said. Coupland joined the legion in Golden after moving to the area from Lamont, Alberta. “I met my husband, Kenneth, when he
returned from overseas after serving in World War 2 and we worked together with the group,” she said. Coupland added she enjoyed helping the legion by cooking at events. “When at baseball, I would cook hot dogs and hamburgers. My children would play when I was cooking.” She had been recognized for her service before, having already received the Meritorious Service Award from the Ladies Auxiliary “You work and you don’t think about being honoured. You work in the way your heart tells you to and all of a sudden they spring this one me and I feel honoured. I want to say thank you to the ladies auxiliary and the men’s branch.”

Sport for Life Night for an active life Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Having a passion for sports, and an active lifestyle does not need to end when you’re a teenager. Sport for Life, a growing trend nationwide, aims to teach parents, coaches, and individuals how to stay active and engaged throughout their lives. “It’s about driving that passion, and through that education process get them excited about staying active and engaged in sport for their lifetime,” said Jordan Petrovics, manager of recreation services for the Town of Golden. The recreation department is hosting a Sport for Life Night, featuring key note speaker Dave Ellis. With a Masters in Kinesiology, and national level coaching experience, Ellis will talk
about how to develop an athlete from a young age in a way that nurtures their passion and skill. “There are a lot of examples out there of kids who started in a sport, got pushed too hard or not coached properly, and they end up dropping out, and potentially never get back into another activity,” said Petrovics. Ellis will discuss when it is best to introduce sport for play to a toddler, when to introduce it as a training element, and when to introduce competitive aspects. He will also be talking about Golden’s recreational opportunities, and how to stay engaged with the community. “It’s designed for everybody. It’s not intended to be a presentation on how to brew the Olympic athletes of tomorrow. It’s catered more to getting everybody active,”
said Petrovics. “It’s about getting out there and having fun. And the more people we have doing that, the more successful all of our different groups and organizations will be.” The Town is hosting this free event in partnership with the Columbia Basin Trust, and the Golden Rockets Association will be hosting a refreshments table with beer and wine. Sport for Life Night is on Wednesday May 22 at the Golden Civic Centre. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the presentation starts at 7 p.m. “All public is encouraged to come, anyone who is interested in being a part of the recreation community, and people who are interested in finding out more about how to get active and enjoy all the things that Golden has to offer,” said Petrovics.

care, preschools and a variety of informal and child minding programs. The programs and the people employed in the child care sector in Golden offer an essential service to children, their families and our community. When parents have appropriate child care arrangements they are able to go to work, participate in employment programs, attend high school, study at the post secondary level and access funding supports from B.C.’s Child Care Subsidy Program. Quality child care programs provide our children with the best possible start in hands on science, social, emotional and self-help skills, creativity and prob-
lem solving, self esteem and self confidence, language and cognition as well as literacy and numeracy skills. A career in child care is a huge responsibility and requires enormous patience, understanding and skill. Research indicates positive experiences in the early years, including access to enriching and nurturing child care opportunities are critical to a child’s healthy development and play an important role in children’s future academic and social success. Please take the time this Thursday, May 16 to acknowledge the work being done by child care providers in Golden and extend a special thank you to your child care provider.
Bringing recreation groups together Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Golden is blessed with a substantial number of recreational, cultural, and not-for-profit groups that provide the community with a wide array of activities. So many in fact, that it can be hard to find them all. The Town of Golden Recreation Department is starting a program to bring these groups together so that residents can see what the town has to offer. “We have so many different non-for-profit groups and clubs in the community that are out there initiating and running different programs from swim club, to karate, to leisure and drop in programs,” said Jordan Petrovics, manager of recreation services for the Town of Golden. “We’ve started a partnership program where the clubs can be a partner with the Town.” The Recreation and Cultural Partnership Program will have a page on the Town of Golden website (www.golden.ca) where all these groups can showcase what they have to offer. Any group that is in good financial standing, is insured, and offers a recreational or cultural service to the public (can be for-profit or
not-for-profit groups), can partner with the Town to help get the word out. “So if you’re new in town, and you have kids that are interested in dance club, karate, scouts, and hockey, now you can go to one place and see who you need to contact,” said Petrovics. “We want people to realize how many opportunities we have in the community for recreation.” So far there are about 20 groups who have signed on, but Petrovics estimates that there are closer to 200 groups in town who would be eligible to participate. The only thing the Town is asking in return is an annual report from each group (outlining general information such as the number of people in the group, their age, and where they live). That data will help the recreation department use their resources more effectively. “As a recreation department we can look at ways to help make things easier for these groups, how they can use our spaces more effectively, and it allows me to give more detailed reports to council,” said Petrovics. Anyone interested in hearing more about the partnership program can go to www.golden.ca, or contact the recreation department at rec.booking@golden.ca.

Construction begins on development for a new trailhead Golden Cycling Club Submitted The Golden Cycling Club recently began development of a new trail head to provide access to the south end of the local Moonraker trail system. When the original Sander Lake trail head was lost to the public in 2011, Nicholson landowners Jim and Nichole Gudjonson offered their property as an alternative site. The cycling club had hoped the Columbia Shuswap Regional District would partner with them but after two years of inaction the club has decided to proceed on its own. “We know the CSRD has strict guidelines when it comes to the use of public money on private property but after two years the Club feels it cannot wait any longer.” Club director Rick Seward explained. “The Canyon Creek trail is popular with the public but has suffered from the poor access.” On April 27, 39 volunteers showed up to
begin construction of a trail from the new parking area to the Canyon Creek trail. The steep hillside presented a challenge but the group was able to build 200 metres of trail. Warren Chambers, another club director, had this to say, “We were caught off guard. Normally we anticipate maybe half the number and were short on tools and lunch. This volunteer effort represents a $3,200 contribution to the community!” The next volunteer day for this project will take place on Saturday, May 18. The cycling club expects the entire project to be completed this year. In addition to the new trail, the project includes work done last year when GCC worked with the provincial Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations to protect some of the goat habitat on the Canyon Creek trail by building a reroute that directs cyclists away from one of the salt licks Volunteers came out to start the work near the Moonraker trail sysfound there. tem on April 27.

Golden cubs and scouts gather to help clean up Yoho Park Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Recently a group of dedicated Cubs and Scouts from Golden took part in a clean up in Yoho National Park. The group went into the park to pick up garbage and other discarded items from along the Trans Canada Highway. Madison Crandall has been a member of Cubs for the five months and felt it was important to take part in the clean up activity. “We picked up garbage in the park. We found a lot of stuff up there. There was a lot of car parts and even a burned tire,” she said. Crandall said she thinks people should be much more careful when they think about littering. “I think they should only leave things that can compost down into the ground.” She said she wanted to be a Cub because they get to have a lot of adventures and it was something new for her to try. “It has been an adventure. I really like it and enjoy being part of the group. I have made new friends as well. If we do a clean up again I will take part.”
It was a great day in Yoho National Park near Golden when a group of cubs and scouts (pictured left) cleaned up some of the garbage that had been left behind by people who use the park. Photo Submitted

Ford stays in Diamond Club Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Kicking Horse Ford in Golden was once again recognized as one of the top dealerships in Canada and was awarded the Presidents Diamond Club Award for the 9th time. The local business was the only dealer in the Kootenay region to receive the award, which is based on of customer satisfaction. “There was only one winner in our group and we were fortunate it was us,” said Dealer Principal and General Manager of Kicking Horse Ford, Dan Maisonneuve The fact that the award is based mainly on customer satisfaction means a great deal to Maisonneuve. “It is about taking pride in our customer satisfaction. The customers are the life blood of anybody’s business and if you do not look after them someone else will,” he said. “We really appreciate the feedback from the customers.

We want to continue doing this because there are some great organizations in town that deserve local business support,” he said. “I am a big believer in keeping it local.

Law student helping at women’s centre Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net Any women in Golden who are dealing with legal issues, have legal questions, or are trying to navigate the legal system, now have a place to go to get information. The Golden Women’s Resource Centre has brought in a summer student to assist women who have any legal questions. Julia Bennett, a law student from the University of Victoria, will be at the centre until August 23, offering legal information to those who need it. Bennett is being supervised by local lawyer Bruce McKenzie, who she will be able to consult with if she has any questions. As a law student, Bennett is limited to offering information, and will not be able to give out actual advice. “I can’t personally say, ‘you should do this or that.’ But I can give them information about possible options,” said Bennett, now settling into her second week on the job. “Even basic things like filling out forms, I’ll be able to help with… And if someone needs something that I can’t offer, I can help point them in the right direction.” This is a service the women’s centre offers every summer to help women who may not have access to the information they need. In the past, women have come in asking questions about employment (if someone is having issues with an employer), residential tenancy, family law, welfare, info about your rights, and criminal laws. Not having seen much of British Columbia before now, Bennett thought this would be a great job to see a new area, but also get a broad range of experience. “A lot of the jobs I saw posted were a bit generic. This one sounded like the best opportunity for

You can call to make an appointment, or just drop in the centre on 9th Avenue North.
