Third shift is a charm at Louisiana Pacific in Golden Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net

A third shift will be starting at the LP Engineered Wood Products Ltd. in Golden as of July.

The confirmation of the added shift was made by Bryce Piggot, Manager of LP Engineered Wood Products Ltd. “Currently the mill is working on a two shift basis but running a condensed week so people are working 12-hour shifts,” he said.

“We are adding a third shift back to the mill as of July 1.”

This means the LP facility will be returning to a schedule that will see it running three, eight hour shifts a day, from Monday to Friday.

In preparation for the added shift, LP has hired about 50 people.

The reason for installing the additional shift has to do with multiple factors according to Piggot.

“A couple of things have happened. One is that Louisiana Pacific has moved the majority of its export orders to the Golden mill for production. This increased the volume required from the mill,” he said.

“We are also doing this in anticipation of the increase demand in housing starts and improvements in North America.”

Recently the workers at the facility have been working a great deal of overtime to meet the needs of the customers, and there is hope to see even more growth in the future.

“There are indications and signs of

improvements mostly in the United States.

Canada has remained fairly stable but we do see an improvement in domestic and foreign demand,” Piggot said.

He said he is very happy this is happening, and is hopeful it will help the community as well.

“It is great news for the area. At the peak we were at 400 plus employees. We are now going to be scratching back up to the high 200s. It is not where it was but we are working to get back there.”

Piggot did add that this is a step in the right direction for the business, but they know there is still great deal of work to do.

“We do expect the road to be rough... It will be bumpy but we do expect to see improvement,” he said.

The Okanagan Regional Library wants to make sure that kids in Golden keep their minds active and engaged throughout the summer months.

So they are launching their 2013 Summer Reading Club, called Up, Up, and Away!, at all of their locations throughout the region.

Whether your child is interested in things with wings, superheroes, the secrets of the stars or weird weather, there will be a program that suits them during this exciting summer program.

Fun contests, activities and guest speakers encourage kids to read the summer away and help prevent learning losses that occur when they don’t take part in educational activities.

Last year there were 4,524 children registered for the Summer Reading Clubs at Okanagan Regional Library’s 29 branches from Golden to Princeton.

The Summer Reading Club is sponsored by the British Columbia Library Association, with the assistance of Libraries and Literacy, Ministry of Education.

Registration for the summer program in Golden is June 25. The program will run Thursdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., from July 4 to August 1, and is for children ages five to 12. Call 250-344-6516, or drop in at 819 Park Avenue to register. Go to www.orl.bc.ca for more information.

Concussions have lasting effects Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net June is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and concussions, especially in sports, are a big part of that conversation.

More research is being done into the long term effects of this type of brain injury, and one local man living with these effects assures you they are very real.

“I was riding a horse, and the horse decided to ride me,” said Bryan Dean, recalling how he got his most severe concussion in his 20s, although he has had several in his lifetime.

“In those days they didn’t know about concussions the way they do now. So the thinking was, you’re just going to have a headache for a few days and that’s that. So nothing got done.”

Struggling with the perception that concussions were no big deal, and that people with brain injuries were somehow social outcasts, Dean suffered from his symptoms alone for many years.

“Over a period of time I deteriorated to a point where I started to hide and withdraw,” he said.

“Then I went to the mental health to ask for help… They said I needed to go to Cranbrook for an evaluation, and after four days they said there was nothing wrong with me, and they sent me home.”

Dean was also beginning to experience panic attacks, but the culture of “tough” that he grew up with prevented him from acknowledging it as a problem.

“To be honest, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, that’s what I was raised with. You had to be tough. Well tough doesn’t work sometimes.”

About six years ago, a friend recommended that Dean go see Debbie Gudjonson with the

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo East Kootenay Brain Injury Association, and he discovered what a tremendous asset that can be for people dealing with brain injuries.

Now Dean spends his time trying to raise awareness and education about brain injuries, particularly concussions.

“It’s really important for us to get the message out that if you have a concussion, you need to do something about it,” he said.

“Enough of this, ‘suck it up princess and get to work,’ mentality. This is not a laughing matter. They’re discovering now that people with brain injuries have shorter life spans, Alzheimer’s onset is earlier, and so on.”

World renowned race chooses Golden for destination Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net One of the largest mountain bike stage races in North America has chosen Golden as one of their 2014 locations.

The TransRockies Challenge has been operating in the region since 2002, bringing as many as 600 riders to the Rockies and Kootenays.

Next year they are changing the format a bit, and Golden will be one of the first locations to showcase the new race.

"We're looking to create a twist on that mountain bike stage race concept, and we're really highlighting community based trail networks, and single track mountain bike riding," said Aaron McConnell, president of TransRockies Events.

Singletrack 6 will be a six-day mountain bike race in Bride Creek, Nipika, Radium, Revelstoke and Golden, with Golden being the only location to have two days.

"I think Golden has certainly been known for mountain biking, even though it's been slanted more towards the downhill side with Mount 7 and Kicking Horse. In the past few years it's started to develop more cross country trails, and it fits nicely into the route

alignment that we're looking at. It was a natural choice for us," said McConnell, who was in town last week to track the route.

When Tourism Golden found out that TransRockies was changing their format, and looking for host communities, they began working with the Golden Cycling Club to create a proposal.

"It's great that we got two days. If people are staying for two days, they're going to be more relaxed and spend more time seeing what else Golden has to offer," said Joanne Sweeting, marketing manager with Tourism Golden.

"I think if everything goes really well in 2014, we stand a chance of having it repeated here every two to three years."

The two days spent in Golden (July 29 and 30, 2014) is expected to bring between 300 and 500 cyclists into the community, and upwards of 1,000 people including crews and families.

"They launch their marketing at the end of this month, and then we've got a year to market it. So doing that jointly with them, it will be a great way to market Golden as a cycling destination," said Sweeting.

There is already a partnership with the Kicking Coun-

Drew Bragg, from left, Kevin McDonald, Johnathon McLeod, and Aaron McConnell were in Golden with Tourism Golden’s Joanne Sweeting to track the route for the 2014 Singletrack 6 Race.

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo try Chamber of Commerce, the Golden Cycling Club, and Jordan Petrovics, manager of the recreation department at the Town of Golden, to get the community involved in the event.

"We really want to engage with the communities, and make them feel like they're part of the event," said McConnell, adding

that in the past communities have organized events such as concerts to welcome the athletes and their families.

"It's a destination event. People will make it a vacation.

Most participants are not racing, they're there to ride, and just have fun and finish."

With the addition of the Mountain Shad-

CORE meeting focuses on finances Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net The Committee of Responsible Electors continues to focus their attention on the Town of Golden’s spending and finances after a general meeting on June 6.

The group, known as the CORE, was assembled after the municipal election last fall, with the mandate of monitoring the Town’s policies.

“We are the key organization which is monitoring the performance of the Town administration at the time and are certainly the most diligent in studying its documents and policies, especially on the financial side,” said Bruce Fairly, one of the founding members.

There were 24 people at the meeting on June 6, including a couple who were new to the group. The original concept of the CORE was to operate primarily through online communication, however the members are realizing that it might be useful to have more face to face meetings.

Since its beginning, the group is happy to see some of the initiatives that have gone through council, such as the restoration of question period and the decision to not purchase carbon off-

sets, for which the CORE advocated.

However there was discussion at the meeting regarding the Town’s perception of the group.

“There was a fair bit of comment as to the difficulty of getting the Town administration to listen to any viewpoint with which they are not in agreement,” said Fairley.

He pointed to their feedback of the 2013 budget, which he says was not acknowledged or even considered, to demonstrate the Town’s lack of support for their efforts. Fairly thinks a better forum for communication would go a long way to solving this problem.

“CORE would support some kind of online forum which would allow parties the ability to comment on matters of public interest,” he said.

The CORE also discussed the Official Community Plan, which they believe is outdated, the need for a restructuring of managerial staff, a strategic initiatives review, and the forthcoming asset management plan, which the group is to review.

“Although there is much work to be done, the persons present (at the June 6 meeting) were unanimous in believing that CORE is performing a very useful function in the community,” said Fairley.

Golden has a biking trail guide available on their website, but will be updating next

year to include the new trails, as well as promotion for the Singletrack 6.

Behind the Wheel

How Far Can You See When Driving at Night?

Freeways in British Columbia are governed by a posted speed limit of 110 km/h and for the most part are only lit by a driver's headlights at night. The opposing lanes are fairly close together and require the use of low beam headlamps when other traffic approaches. When the highway is busy drivers are often forced to travel long distances on low beam. How safe is this at 110 km/h?

The average vehicle takes about 64 meters to slide to a wheels locked panic stop at 110 km/h. Some may stop a bit faster and more than a few will take longer, particularly pickup trucks and other larger vehicles. A driver who is alert and expecting problems will likely have about one second pass between identifying something on the road and actually getting the brakes applied. This means a further 31 meters of travel, bringing our total stopping distance to 95 meters.

Transport Canada says that the low beam lighting system of most vehicles allows a driver to see about 140 meters. It may seem further, but after that point most of the light is on the shoulder and the right ditch rather than on the lane ahead. This applies to both halogen headlights and the new gaseous discharge lamps.

The 45 meter distance between the end of the stopping distance and the end of the sight distance is travelled in less than a second and a half. This is not a lot of time for a driver to react if they are not looking at the part of the roadway the obstruction is in, or are not completely alert and expecting to take action.

The gist of the calculation is that 110 km/h may not be a good night speed for drivers.

Macdonald retains critic job Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald has once again been named the official critic of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Upon hearing the news Macdonald said, “I am pleased it is a critic role that I have retained. It is something that interests me a tremendous amount. I did ask to retain the role so I am pleased.”

He thinks there will be some tremendous opportunities over the next four years for the forestry industry along with challenges.

“For our area forestry is very important. For the province as a whole, forestry if done proper-

ly, is something you can have not only for past generation or this generation but also for future generations,” he said.

“Shifts are being added and our markets look strong. When forestry is doing well you can really see it in the community. You see the money that forestry brings into the local economy and community.”

Macdonald said he was concerned that the BC Liberals moved in an different direction than he had hoped they would in the budget announced earlier this year.

“They have moved in the opposite directions of the recommendations of the Timber Supply Committee and that is troubling.”

Taking the classroom back to nature Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

Wildsight’s award-winning environmental education program, Classroom With Outdoors, is back.

Now in its 13th year, Classroom With Outdoors is an experiential, field trip-based program designed to connect students in Grades 4 to 7 with the ecosystems in their own back yards.

On June 5, the Grade 5/6 class from Lady Grey Elementary went to Cedar Lake and explored the area in a different way than most experience it. They looked in detail at the flora and fauna, and made connections between the living and non-living elements of the local ecosystem.

“Students enjoyed using dip nets and magnifiers to look at small organisms up close to learn about the diversity of life,” said Sanne van der Ros, local Wildsight educator.

“Students caught and studied a variety of small macro invertebrates and other organisms including dragon fly larvae and their exoskeletons, mayfly nymphs, frogs, and much more.”

Wildsight is able to offer Classroom With Outdoors free of charge thanks to the generous support of Columbia Basin Trust and local foundations and sponsors, which is vital to ensuring that the program remains accessible to as many students as possible.

The program continues to be as popular as

ever. This year, roughly 1,750 students in communities across the Columbia Basin will participate. Wildsight’s team of environmental educators has already started helping students and teachers discover the wonders of forest, wetland, grassland, and old growth ecosystems through engaging, interactive activities, using fine nets to catch and observe insects, journaling, role-playing, and much more.

“There’s an increased recognition of the value of learning outside the classroom,” said Education Program Manager Monica Nissen. “And we are starting to see the importance of understanding what is going on in the places where we live, of having a sense of local context and appreciating the ways in which intact ecosystems sustain us.”

Classroom With Outdoors draws rave reviews from teachers each year.

“Our programs are curriculum-based, so they support the learning that’s already happening inside the classroom,” said Nissen. “Teachers tell us that they really appreciate being able to meet curriculum requirements by going outside.”

Classroom With Outdoors is made possible through the financial assistance of Columbia Basin Trust, The North Face Explore Fund, Columbia Power Corporation, Fortis BC, Teck Coal, Teck Trail Operations, the Osprey Foundation, Creston-Kootenay Foundation, and the BC Gaming Fund.

Helping conserve the natural beauty Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Alex Desjardins is the new Conservation Officer in Golden.

Desjardins has been in Golden a month and brings more than 10 years of experience as an enforcement officer to the area. Before moving to Golden Desjardins spent some time working in the lower mainland of British Columbia.

“It was too good to pass up,” he said. “Me and my better half are from smaller centres originally. We were ready to take on a new challenge. For me, I am an avid hunter and angler. The prospect of the Columbia Kootenays was a draw.”

Since coming to Golden Desjardins has noticed some differences between the two areas.

“In the lower mainland it is a bigger workload.

We get from 40 to 60 files per day. It is closer to

10 files per week in Golden. There is a lot more proactive work in Golden,” he said.

Desjardins explained some of the work he currently is involved with in the area.

“We concentrate on looking at the human and wildlife conflict—primarily bears but also wolves and coyotes. We educate people on how to lessen those conflicts and we respond to attacks,” he said. “The other aspect is environmental law enforcement. We ensure the rules around things like fishing and trapping are followed.”

As for Golden, Desjardins is enjoying the area and the people who live here.

“People of Golden are welcoming. They have been coming up and introducing themselves.”

Desjardins wanted to encourage people to call the RAPP line to report things such as injured wildlife or polluting. The number to the line is 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP).

RCMP Report: Vandals, break-ins and Mercedes crash near Field Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net

the site. After going to the male’s residence, RCMP found a rifle and crossbow. RCMP officials said they are not sure how many charges the man will face at this time. There was no incident during the course of their investigation and the male did not attempt to interfere with the officers in anyway.

Busy night in Field 09-07-2013 There was a report of a single-vehicle accident near Field in the evening hours. Upon arriving at the scene, the RCMP found a grey Mercedes in a ditch near the town. Officers believe the vehicle was heading east at the time of the accident. During the investigation the officers discovered the vehicle was reported stolen from Calgary.

While the RCMP were at the scene of the accident an alarm went off at the Information Centre in Field.

This was followed up by a motion sensor in the building being triggered. The RCMP went to the centre and found one of the front doors had been shattered.

After a search of the building, officers started doing a patrol of the area in an attempt to find the people involved. No one was found during their search.

The next day there was a report of a residential break and entry in Field.

The RCMP are currently not sure if any of these occurrences are linked in any way. The Golden/Field RCMP are looking for any information from the public about any of these incidents.

Weapons seized 10-07-2013 RCMP were informed that a male living in the 800 block of 9th Avenue South was in possession of a rifle and acting irrationally.

Officers concluded the male involved is not permitted to have any firearms and his residence had been searched by officers on a previous date. At the time of the original search no weapon was found at

12-07-2013 A vehicle was stolen sometime overnight in Golden. The vehicle was recovered the next day in Vernon.

There was no damage done but a number of beer cans were found in the backseat of the car. At the time of the incident the keys to the car were left in the vehicle.

A second vehicle was stolen in Golden and ended up on the trails near the Golden Airport. The vehicle was left deep in a trail and it took some effort to get it free and back on the road.

Motorcycle accident 14-07-2013 RCMP responded to a report of a motorcycle that went off of the Trans Canada Highway just east of the Roger’s Pass. The driver of the vehicle suffered minor injuries in the accident. RCMP would like to remind motorists to take care when driving on the highways.

College of the Rockies graduate may have the best job in the world

Greg Snell, pictured, is one three finalists for Tourism Australia’s Best Job in the World-Wildlife Caretaker.

Photo Submitted Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The College of the Rockies is pleased to hear that one of their Adventure Tourism Business Operations (ATBO) graduates, Greg Snell, has been named one of the three finalists for Tourism Australia’s “Best Job in the WorldWildlife Caretaker.”

The goal of the competition is to help Tourism Australia find the best candidates for six different positions: Chief Funster, Outback Adventurer, Park Ranger, Wildlife

Caretaker, Lifestyle Photographer, and Taste Master.

With more than 330,000 applicants from 196 countries, Snell is the only Canadian to make it to the finals.

Since completing the ATBO program at the college’s Golden campus in 2009, Snell completed a Canadian International Development Agency funded internship in Ecuador, focussing on sustainable development through tourism.

The experience helped him obtain his current employment with a Canadian adventure tourism

company working as a tour leader in the Southern Cone of South America.

“The Adventure Tourism program was definitely the kickstart to the amazing experiences I have had so far,” said Snell.

“I cannot say enough about the ATBO program. It is an incredible opportunity for young Canadians to jump-start a career in international tourism. The program helped prepare me to work in the industry and to have a chance at such an exciting opportunity like this competition.”

The Wildlife Caretaker position, should he win it, would find Snell living on Kangaroo Island in South Australia for six months, swimming with great white sharks, snorkeling with sea lions, hanging out with kangaroos, and helping to conserve the pristine natural environment of the island.

“Kangaroo Island is about the size of Prince Edward Island, and is basically a

zoo with no fences. I am very much looking forward to travelling there and getting to know the local endemic wildlife and

interacting with the wonderful Australian people,” he said.

Snell left for Australia on June 10 to take part in a week of

competitions before the final decision of who will be awarded the “Best Job” is made on June 21.

Life lessons

Enbridge Pipeline

This weekend saw Golden Soccer and the Barrel O’Rama bring together large crowds of supporters and some great athletes in Golden.

The best part of attending both of these events was watching the athletes involved doing their best to win. More importantly they were out for a great time with friends and family.

- My Way All too often sports competitions are

By Darryl Crane judged on one thing.

Who comes out the winner. The idea of enjoying the game is lost because of overzealous parents or over competitive athletes.

Even though winning is fun there is a time to sit back and enjoy the moment for all that it is.

For the past two months children have been going out and playing soccer in Golden. The association is run by a group of volunteers who not only teach the players about soccer skills but also about being good sports.

This fun activity is a great way for children to exercise while not having to worry about every mistake they may make. Hearing players come off the field and explain that having fun was more important than winning the game was refreshing.

Also this weekend a crowd of supporters and riders came out to the first barrel racing competition seen in Golden in a number of years.

Once again volunteers came together to host an event that saw athletes put on a spectacular show for those in attendance.

But there were also some younger riders who took their time and trotted around the barrels. The smiles on their faces we easy to spot.

They might not have been as fast as some of the older riders but there is no doubt of the fun they had going out for a ride in front of a cheering crowd.

It seems like a simple concept. Go out to participate just to have fun, socialize and learn in a positive atmosphere.

In this sense the volunteers who come together to make these events possible in the area deserve a great deal of credit.

But that is the spirit you see over and over again in Golden. There are tireless numbers of people who give of themselves for the community.

You need only look to a special group of children in Lady Grey Elementary who put on a show for students in other schools.

The Cirqkidz group has brought some talented children together to put on a show that entertains for no other reason than entertaining.

These children and the adults who work with them have taken something simple, a passion for performing, and given back to the community they live in. These types of life lessons are not something to be passed over lightly.

All of these children involved with these groups have been given a gift. They have learned about working together and giving back to the community.

They are special in their own way and through desire and hard work now have skills that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives.

To the editor, In early April of this year the National Energy Board had the audacity to announce anyone who wishes to write their views on the Enbridge Pipeline has to fill out a 10- page application and let them decide if they grant you the right to write.

Not true. Anyone who wants to write their views on any pipeline does not have to fill out anything that is why it is called a right it is why it is in the Charter of Rights and Freedom. One of the first fundamental rights guaranteed is freedom of expression including freedom of the press and other media.

Senate expenses Editor, I am happy to see that the Senate expenses scandal has finally started a discussion about the relevance of the upper chamber. It seems quite obvious to some of us that appointing a body to overrule the decisions of your elected representatives is completely undemocratic.

Now some Canadians say that the Senate was put in place to provide an element of “sober second thought” to the process, but is that really what the original intention was? I think not.

Our parliamentary system is based on the British system and born from the desire to have the people decide how their society was to be run. In the process of transferring the decision making power from the monarchy to the people, a compromise was struck

That means you do not need some jackass from the NEB to grant a right you already have; if he can grant you a right he could also deny you. I encourage anyone who has an opinion on the Northern Gateway Pipeline to just go ahead and write to the media, on your blogs, your own newsletter anything and tell the NEB to stick their 10- page application where the sun don’t shine.

When you know you have right to express opinion you are exercising ‘democrazy’ when you go along with this bull crap that you need to wait and see if someone from government will grant you a right you’re playing tyranny: master and servant!

Andre Mollon Langford, B.C.

which allowed the wealthy to overrule the common peoples decisions.

So was born the “House of Lords.” It was put in place to protect the interests of the rich nobility.

When we set up our Parliament in Canada we had no “lords” so we called it the senate. Some modern politicians would like to hoodwink the people into believing that the senate is there to protect the general public from bad decisions made by our democratically elected body.

The truth is, the senate is there to protect the rich from the decisions of the commons.

One of our BC senators, Nancy Greene Raine, was on the radio last week suggesting that the senators who abused the system should resign to protect the integrity of the senate.

According to her, the senate provides an “important system of cheques and balances”.

I guess that depends on wheth-

er you are receiving the cheques, or being expected to provide the money for them by way of the tax system.

I think we elect representative to make our collective decisions, and we have the right every four years to throw the bums out if they do a bad job of it.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper believes in the “triple-e senate.”

Which means we elect some people to make the decisions, and then we elect some more people to make sure they are the right decisions. Why stop there? Why not elect a few more to review the senate’s decisions, after all, there are a lot more worn out celebrities and politicians who could use a nice warm rich teat.

How about we simplify it and go for the “single-e senate”... eeeeliminated.

Golden point of view Would you like to see a bike rack placed somewhere downtown?

Stingers to the customer in the grocery store who stuck a package of cheese and can of whipped cream into the face of the young boy he was with, making him cry.

Lisa Leslie “I would love that. I don’t live here, but when I visit I bike a lot, and it would be nice to lock it up downtown.”

Courtenay Byrie “There seem to be a lot of bikes in front of businesses. I think it would be useful.”

Tyler Sutherland

Stingers to the woman who didn’t stick up for the young boy.

“It seems like it would be a good idea, but if it hasn’t been done yet, maybe there’s a reason.”

Stingers to the local business that hasn’t got the respect for customers. Yes, for the 2nd time..they didn’t show up or even call to say why and when they plan on coming.

Stars to N. Wolfe for being so rad on her birthday!

Stars to “Farmer” for donating the microwave to the Museum.

Here’s a way I suggest to chase/keep the bears away.

1. Buy a bottle of liquid ammonia.

2. Buy a good spray bottle.

Dilute the ammonia 50/50 with water and fill the spray bottle. Pour some of the solution in your garbage can. If your can is leaking pour the ammonia in a small container and place the container on the bottom of the can preferably with the lid on it that you punch full of holes.

If the bear is into your bird feeder spray some ammonia in his direction.

Save the rest of the ammonia in a tightly closed container for future use.

And that’s it. Good luck.

Unemployment issues

Natural bear repellant

Stars to the wonderful staff at Emerald Lake for making Father’s Day so special.

Dear Editor, Most of us are aware of the fact that our Prime Minister Stephen Harper hijacked Canada’s employment insurance program so as to enter the premiums of millions of dollars into general revenue.

Then to add insult to injury, he increased the premiums.

Now the latest EI rulings from our undemocratic leader is: unemployed people are required to travel 100 km to a new job and up to 40 per cent less pay than their previous job!

That’s $50 per day in gas return trip plus pay-

ing income tax on a possible less paying job plus paying the increased EI premiums. Is he out of his mind?

Not to mention the fact that his carbon tax at the pumps is to reduce unnecessary or too much driving to reduce pollution.

Short of our province separating from confederation, the next best thing our provincial government can do is to: form its own EI program (with a rolled back rate) so the working people of BC’s premiums are not going to dictator Harper to squander on feeding his pet panda bears.

More than Fried Bread, Drumming and Pow-Wow Dancing Kym Howay Aboriginal tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health Don’t get me wrong, fried bread, drumming and pow-wow dancing are all good things, but this Aboriginal Day (June 21) there are many other exciting events to celebrate.

In 1996, the first Aboriginal Day was established through the combined efforts of the sacred assembly and Elijah Harper, a respected elder and speaker who left for the spirit world May 17, 2013.

Aboriginal Day is a time of celebration in many Aboriginal and Metis communities. Anyone is welcome to join in and celebrate the accomplishments of First Nations people both in the past and as we move towards the future.

Many positive changes are appearing in Aboriginal communities as the people reclaim their pathways to

health. Aboriginal health is seen as a combination of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being which is different from western models.

First Nation Healthy Authority was established and is poised to reflect the collective knowledge of First Nation people by embracing the traditional practices of the past and the medical technology of today.

Many Aboriginal and Metis communities are also stepping forward to help make their communities healthier. Communities are returning to past practices like hunting and fishing camps and teaching the next generation to gather and prepare traditional foods and medicines.

Though that may sound like day to day activity, it also brings communities and generations together to practice healthy living.

Walking and hiking in the mountains and fields; whether to hunt, fish or gather food, teaches many valuable skills. Hunting and fishing camps give their

first kills to the community and help feed their elders with meat and fish from the camps. They also teach us to feed our people by gathering food and preparing it later for storage.

These activities also provide physical exercise for all ages and being out in nature helps improve mental and emotional wellbeing. Most importantly, these practices help teach the next generation to respect the land and its abundance and to regain some of the traditional practices that have kept Aboriginal people alive and healthy. You do not get that pushing a grocery cart in the supermarket!

Aboriginal communities are successfully melding the past and the future in order to become healthy strong people and communities. So, when you join the Aboriginal Day festivities on June 21 and admire the drumming, dancing and bead work as well as the occasional treat of fried bread, remember there is so much more to celebrate.

Turning Back the Pages: Riverboats in the valley

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

While working in the Vermont Creek area in 1997, Corey Drage made a very interesting discovery that he brought to the museum. Just behind an old cabin that could be seen from the road, Corey found a bucket hanging up in a tree. The contents of

that bucket started a research project that still peaks my interest every time I go into the storage area and see it there.

The bucket itself is inches high by 8 inches across, with a lid that fits down over the top of the bucket quite securely. The handle still

had the piece of wire around it that kept it in the tree. Inside the bucket was four tallow candles, four cloth bags; one containing tobacco, one containing rice, one containing split peas and the last one contained flour. The bags containing the rice and split peas are stamped “FROM – C.A. WARREN – GENERAL – MERCHANT – DEALER IN MINING SUPPLIES – GOLDEN, BC.” The bag with the flour had been written on and says “GEO RURY – CARBONATE.” The bucket also contained a bottle of Enos Fruit Salts, label entirely intact.

George Rury was born in New York State, U.S.A. about 1859. He then moved to Washington State and finally to Golden in 1892. George was a master carpenter and expert boat builder and helped build many of the riverboats that ran on the Columbia River, from the second “Duchess” onward. In 1911 he was the master boat builder on the “Nowitka”, a shallow-draught, shovel-nosed, steam-scow built for the Upper Columbia Navigation and Tramway Company to haul freight.

George was also a prospector an discovered several prominent mineral properties. He was working on the old Bobbie Burns gold claims at the time the stamp mill was in operation in 1892. This was the year that the dean of

Nowitka, pictured above, is a riverboat that hauled freight on the Columbia River, and was built by George Rury.

George had several partners in various interests over the years but the one who was with him at the time of his death was Gus Solie. Gus and George were on their way to Spillimacheen from their camp at the 16 mike on the Bugaboo Trail on May 19, 1934, when George told Gus to go ahead that he would be right along. Gus proceeded to the cabin, where he started a fire in the cook stove and when George did not arrive, Gus started back along the trail, where he found

his old friend dead.

Gus hurried to Spillimacheen, arriving at about 8:15 pm., where he enlisted the aid of E.P. O’Laughlin, who immediately notified the police in Golden. Constables Hodgkin and Cliffe, accompanied by Coroner Linney, made a quick trip to Spillimacheen and together with Solie and O’Laughlin, started up the trail by truck to recover the body.

The truck, however, could not navigate the road past Driftwood Camp, leaving about six or seven miles to be walked to where the body was and then back again.

The return trip back with George’s body on the stretcher was an extremely arduous one. It was raining, very dark and the trail was very rough in spots. The group arrived back at Spillimacheen about 4:30 in the morning; wet, tired and cold, It is said that Gus Solie walked a return trip of about 28 miles that day in order to bring his old friend’s body out.

George had lived in the town of Golden, in a little cabin across from where Durand Manor is today. He will always be remembered by the old racoon coat that he wore around town.

Rotary Club set to hold AGM Jessica Schwitek reporter2@thegoldenstar.net

The Rotary Club of Golden is welcoming the whole community to come out to their Annual General Meeting, and see what the club is all about.

“Everyone is welcome,” said Greg Ehman, president of the club. “This is a great opportunity to come out and see what Rotary is about, and an opportunity to meet the incoming executive.”

The AGM will be introducing the new executive, from the president all the way down, as well as installing three of their new members.

They will also be bringing back an older tradition of paying homage to non-Rotarians who are making a difference in their communities.

“One of the things we’re really excited about, is we’re getting back into recognizing community leaders who have really done a lot over the years,” said Ehman.

“We’re going to be recognizing three community leaders from the area - Orlando Pecora, Garry Bjarnason, and Roger Ross, who have all done a huge amount for the community.”

The Rotary Club of Golden has gotten away from that in the past, but are really excited about bringing it back year after year.

“There’s a huge amount of volunteerism in Golden. The selection committee had a tough time, there were a lot of great options, and they settled on three good ones,” said Ehman.

“We think it’s very important to recognize those people.”

The AGM is also a good time to hear about the projects that Rotary has been working on in the past year, and are hoping to accomplish in the future.

The AGM is taking place at the Royal Canadian Legion on Thursday, June 20. Kickin Thyme Catering will be providing the dinner ($25 per person). The doors open at 5:15, with the meeting beginning at 6 p.m.

Bringing the jazz to Golden Fred Eaglesmith at Golden Taps Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Ali Milner’s fresh-faced appearance might make her look like a newcomer, but don’t be fooled — the 22-year-old, who will be playing at the Rockwater Grill and Bar on June 30, has already been recording and performing for eleven years.

In that time she’s gone from being a promising teenage favourite to a seasoned performer who is quickly becoming a familiar face in Canada’s indie music world.

Raised in Whistler, but now living in Vancouver, her timeless sound blends R&B pop with old-soul jazz and even a dose of hard-hitting rock ‘n’ roll.

The velvet-voiced songstress already has two albums under her belt: 2005’s Ali Milner will play a show at the Ali Milner, and 2009’s I Dare You. Rockwater Grill and Bar on June Since the most recent album’s 30.

Photo Submitted release, she’s been checking off one milestone after another. In 2009, she the USA and Asia. Along the way she’s performed at Vancouver’s JunoFest, shared bills with Michael Bublé, Ron and the following year played sever- Sexsmith, Divine Brown, Barenaked al dates surrounding the 2010 Winter Ladies and countless others.

Unsurprisingly, critics have begun mer 2010, she graced the stage at the legendary Lilith festival alongside to take notice of the fast-rising Milicons like Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl ner. The Province praised her “powerful vocals, command of the stage and fiery Crow, Erykah Badu and Sugarland.

Her music has been broadcast on red locks,” while Discorder called her “a CBC Radio 2 and Radio 3, and her busy soulful, old-fashioned jazz singer, with live schedule has taken her to the UK, style and talent beyond her years.”

There is no other artist quite like singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith. To find out for yourself, check him out at the Golden Taps on July 19.

Since his first album in 1980, he has forged his own distinctive and highly independent career path to acclaim and accomplishments, and built a timeless catalogue of songs and recordings as well as a devoted following.

Possessed of a spirit closer to the vaudeville travelling company than the packaged glitz of today’s music business, Eaglesmith and his band are rolling on into 2013. With more than 40 dates in the first part of the year, Eaglesmith’s touring experience often features impromptu stops, campground jam sessions, and other gloriously unmanaged expressions of entertainment.

“What we’re really doing is reminding people that before the business took everything over, rock and roll was all about colouring outside the lines,” said Eaglesmith. “It was a movement - an escape and an alternative to everything we were all being told we had to do. The best moment in any show is when I see that understanding dawn on someone’s face… when they realize that truth and start to really feel that freedom again.”

Eaglesmith has gained iconic status in Canada for his alternative country songs, featuring down-and-out characters dealing with loss of love or livelihood, and quirky rural folk.

Fred Eaglesmith will be live in Golden on July 19 at The Golden Taps.

Photo Submitted His one-of-a-kind performances feature his music, set between several lengthy between-song comic monologues by Eaglesmith himself.

He has developed a cult following, with dedicated fans known as “Fredheads.”

Tickets for the show, also featuring The Coal Creek Boys, are $35 and are available at the Golden Taps.

For more information go to www.fredeaglesmith.com.

Following the artist’s path along The Columbia in Canada Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The works of John Hartman reflect many different aspects of the Canadian wilderness and cities.

The Art Gallery of Golden will be hosting a show of his works called, The Columbia in Canada, between June 21 and Sept 2.

Hartman was born in 1950 in Midland, Ontario, and studied Fine Art at McMaster University.

He established his reputation with an exhibition Painting the Bay in 1993.

These were large-scale paintings of Georgian Bay, aerial views of the landscape, painted with a thicker use of paint.

Hartman’s path of painting the intimate

and intertwined relationship between people and place, took a turn in 2003. He began to paint aerial views of cities as living organisms.

The Columbia River in Canada is a project that follows Hartman as he worked and travelled throughout the Columbia River watershed in March of 2010.

“In March 2010, after spending four days near the Columbia Icefield, I found myself at a heliport near Golden with a rental car, a week of free time, and my field watercolour kit. I decided to follow the Columbia River south, by driving to Revelstoke through Rogers Pass,” Hartman stated on his website.

The paintings look at many well known areas of the Columbia Valley including Kinbasket Lake, the pass in Revelstoke, the Slocan Valley and many other areas.

This Kinbasket Lake watercolour that will be part of a show at AGOG opening on June 21.

Special Father’s Day gift

Dacey Chaluck completed a school year of hard work with an exhibition of her art at Golden Secondary School on June 14.

Darryl Crane/Star Photo

Student showcases art at GSS Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net

Golden Secondary School (GSS) was the site for special exhibition of the unique works of art created by Dacey Chaluck on June 14.

Chaluck is a GSS student who has spent the last year working on the pieces in the show.

“I took an independent study class for art this year. I have been working on different pieces throughout the year to become a better artist,” she said. “It has been going really well.

I have learned a lot about different mediums and facial studies.”

“I did not consciously make it a variety of pieces. It just so happened that all the ones I like happen to be dif-

ferent. I like them because they are unique.”

She went on an said she finds inspiration from stories and her thoughts.

“I have a couple of Doctor Who inspired pieces. Then just things from my head or things I see in books.

Art is forever. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil. Why would I stop?”

Even though she feels art is a part of who she is, Chaluck did admit preparing for the show was a great challenge.

“Sometimes you have an art block and it can be hard work to finish a piece you have already started.

Most of the time it is too fun to call it school,” she said. “It was a little weird realizing I was going to have this show at first but I like talking about my inspiration with people and showing them how I see things.”

Lady Grey Elementary principal prepares for next adventure Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net After 17 years as principal of Lady Grey Elementary School, Ian Robinson is winding up his career at the end of this school year.

Robinson has spent the last 34 years working as both a teacher and a principal.

“I have always loved kids. What I got into originally was high school physical education and teaching socials. I knew I wanted to be that after watching my Grade 8 teacher.”

Over the years Robinson said there have been many changes in being a teacher.

“I think there have been many changes. One is the parents and students. The other is the huge change in technology,” he said. “Some have been a benefit and others a great challenge. I think coming to grips with the speed of the technology like text messaging or instant communication

with parents along with cyber bullying has made it hard for us in some ways. In other ways it has made it easier.”

Robinson said he possibly has not come to terms yet with this being his last school year.

“It feels good. It is like a normal year.

We will soon go out into our summer but come September it will hit home. I will notice when I do not have to punch in.”

As for a message to all of the people who he has taught or worked with over the years, Robinson said, “It has been an honour to serve the parents and to do this job.

It is one of the best jobs in the world in so many ways. I enjoy getting up to come to work. I think the biggest thing I could say to the parents is to advocate for your kids.

For staff it is to keep doing the great job your are doing. For the students, I just wish them all great success to become happy and productive in society.”

Ian Robinson is getting prepared to retire at the end of the school year.

Robinson has been the principal at Lady Grey Elementary for the past 17 years.

Golden Moments: Looking back at over 70 years in logging Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net Bert Tress was born near Spillimacheen and started working for his father in the logging industry when he was just 10 years old.

Since then Tress has spent much of his life working different jobs but the one he kept going back to was hauling logs.

“We had a farm out in the valley. I worked after school and I would go and skid logs. My dad had a little saw mill and all of the work that came with it. We were peeling and packing ties most days.”

Tress explained during the Second World War, many boys, who were around his age, were working at different jobs because local men were overseas.

“We had to. The ones who were not old enough to join the army had to work,” he said. “I cut millions of cords of wood back then because all the neighbour boys were gone and people needed wood.”

In the beginning, Tress used a horse with a buggy in the summer and a sled in winter. This led to some interesting rides for the young boy.

“We had a steep hill to come down. We would put on our rough lock (a chain or rope fastened around the runner of a sled to slow its movement downhill) that would dig in all the way down in the ground on the hill.

This one morning the ice built up on the rough locks and away we went.”

Tress said during the incident he was very worried about hurting someone on the team but he got the sled and horses to the bottom before the load tipped over.

“That is why I never took up skiing. I had enough wild rides and I didn’t need anymore.”

He started hauling logs in a truck for his father when he was about 12.

“My dad had an old truck and I used to haul logs from Bear Creek,” he said.

Tress said you could not get a license in those days

until you were 14 but that never slowed him down.

“I guess when I was about 13, the owner of the mill in Parson asked my father if I could drive for him after his driver broke his leg. My father told him I didn’t have a license but he did not care,” he said.

Tress came into Golden and after a road test he was issued his first driver’s license.

“The officer said I could now drive legally because he knew I had been driving for my dad.”

Dealing with different types of danger while in the bush was also a challenge.

“We were out cross-cutting when lightning struck the tree next to us. You could feel your hair stand up.

We were covered in bark because the electricity spiralled down the tree and peeled it off.”

As always he seemed to end up back behind the wheel of a logging truck even when he owned the company.

“Even when I had my own trucks with drivers I ended up doing it myself. I would drive in places where the other guys would not drive,” he said.

He remembers when his father had, what he believes, was the first power saw in Canada.

“They were not like power saws that we have now.

They were heavy and awkward. They did save having to have another man on the end of the old saws though.”

Over his many years in the industry Tress has seen many changes in the business of logging.

“It is hard to believe the way it has changed. Now everyone sits in their machines and no one is out on the ground. It was a lot more personal back then.

There was a lot of camaraderie back then while now it seems to be more of a rat race.”

Being involved in the industry for so many years has made it difficult for Tress to finally make the decision Bert Tress has recently retired after over 70 to retire, which he recently did at age 82.

“I loved being out in the bush. It was never boring,” years in the logging industry.

She never bitched and never cried Though she lived in chronic pain Now we have to say goodbye, but know she’s right as rain No more gasping, no more hurting, No more oxygen line She left her body in this world Knowing we’d be fine So dry your eyes and wipe your nose Stop shedding all those tears If she could stand all that she stood, We shoudl ahve no fears She no longer hurts, no longer gasps no longer needs drugs to breathe And all she wants for all of us Is that we shall live in peace

Darryl Crane/Star Photo

Perfect combination of food and atmosphere at The Range Darryl Crane editor@thegoldenstar.net The Range Sports Grill has opened its doors and for the owner of the restaurant, Curt Thorne, the wait has been well worth it.

Thorne is a well known local restauranteur who also owns The Canyon’s Edge and The Wolf’s Den in Golden.

The new restaurant is located on the Trans Canada Highway and is perfectly placed for both visitors and locals in Golden according to Thorne.

“It is a family restaurant with a sports theme.

There is a family and adult area which are perfectly separated,” he said.

Thorne believes the sports theme is something that truly suits him.

“It is what I am and what I do best. It is what I like to be around. I like to see things like hockey and golf on television. It is natural for me to do sports restaurants.”

As with his other restaurants, The Range will have a classic menu with some tasty twists.

“There is a completely different, well rounded menu from our other places. There will be large portion sizes. The building has been renovated and has a great atmosphere inside. We promote Golden with our menu. On the back of our

breakfast menu we have things to do in Golden during the summertime,” he said. “On our dinner menu there are pictures of things to do in Golden. I see this as an opportunity, as someone who has always promoted Golden, to do a promotion first hand in person. I love the town itself and want to be a leader in supporting the area. I want people to come here, stay here and have a great time when they are here.”

Dominic Chabot leads all of the kitchens at Thorne’s restaurants but he has gone out to recruit talented Red Seal chefs as well.

“We like to make sure you are fed when you come. There is a dynamic side to the menu that can be found in dishes like our butter chicken lasagne. It is an amazing fusion between Indian and Italian food. Our breakfast has classics and some new ideas as well,” Thorne said.

Plans have started to put a 10-foot screen in for the winter so people will be able to drop by and enjoy their favourite sporting event.

Thorne also wanted to pass on a message to the people in Golden.

“Thanks to all the people and businesses who have helped me. I am thankful to the community of Golden for the support it has given me in my business and volunteer endeavours,” he said.

Pictured from left to right are general manager of The Range Sports Grill John Wright, Curt Thorne and executive chief Dominic Chabot.

Barrel racing returns to Golden

Melanie Russell with her daughter Lauren at the Lumby Swim Meet.

Diving into a new season Lochlan Noble Assistant Coach

A great crowd turned up at the Golden Rodeo Grounds on June 15 for the Rocky Mountain Barrel-O-Rama event. An estimated 40 riders took part in the event including Golden’s Shelley Black (pictured above).

Darryl Crane/Star Photo

The Dolphins are training harder than ever and are now fully into their summer meet season. This past weekend 16 swimmers and two coaches attended the swim meet in Lumby B.C. The event was held at a small outdoor pool, making it good practice for those swimmers hoping to qualify for the Provincial Championships in Coquitlam in August later this year.

There were many notable

performances, a lot of which came from the younger swimmers. Marika Sutter (Division 3), Amelia Hudson (Division 2), and Quinn Morgan (Division 3) all had some very impressive swims for such an early season meet, as well as Rowan Baxendale and Ella Janes, two six-andunder swimmers who competed for their first time in relay events.

The team is travelling to Kamloops this weekend and the coaches hope to see an even better turnout and even more best times!
