Purcell residents have a smoky evening Pink Day at Golden Secondary ..................................19

Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The residents of Purcell View Apartments had an eventful evening last week when a resident smelled smoke in the building shortly before midnight on Tuesday Feb. 25. The resident pulled the manual fire alarm,

bringing the Golden Fire Department over to investigate at the 12th Street South building. “We arrived on scene very shortly after the alarm was activated…I saw that there was smoke inside the building,” said Fire Chief Ken McClure. While the chief was investigating what turned out to be a blown fuse that was generating a lot of

smoke (most of which was contained in the electrical room), the residents of the seniors housing complex had to be evacuated from the building. “The residents were never in real danger as the electrical service did exactly what it was designed to do,” said McClure. Continued on page 4

Road rescue services gets more funds Golden THE

Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Thanks to some provincial funding, the Golden Fire Rescue service may soon be better equipped for road rescue services, which they have been providing since the previous provider stepped down in 2012. The members of the Golden Fire Rescue received $225,000 in November 2013 from the Province’s Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch, helping the Golden Volunteer Firefighters Association intent to purchase a fully customized heavy road vehicle for Golden Fire Rescue as a first responder unit on our area highways. The state-of-the-art vehicle will increase both efficiency and safety for call-outs on the highways. Road Rescue Service (RRS) is provided at the discretion of the local authority, who decides whether or not it includes areas outside their municipal jurisdiction. After many years of exemplary service, Golden and Dis-

trict Search and Rescue (GADSAR) stepped down from this role in order to refocus its return to backcountry based search and rescue activities. Committed to fill this local critical service vacuum, the Town of Golden’s Volunteer Fire Department eagerly stepped in. “The volunteers know how important any rescue operation is and as a team of good spirited firefighters, they love to help. The team has always been supportive of this change and eager to take on this challenge,” said Fire Chief Ken McClure. Golden Fire Rescue plans to apply for additional funding from the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch when the next application phase opens in the summer of 2014. The anticipated vehicle purchase follows on the heels of a year-long pilot project between the Town and the Province to determine the adequacy of the reimbursement for call outs. Under a unique Memorandum of Understanding and

additional provincial funding for proper rescue tools, Town Council agreed to carefully track RRS operational costs for the year. In September the reimbursement rate was raised province-wide as a result of the findings. Pending the approval of the remaining funds for the new rescue vehicle, Town Council will then determine to establish RRS as a confirmed service of the Town of Golden, considering that while operational costs of the service are now sufficiently provided by the Province, long term vehicle and equipment replacements, insurance, or specialized training expenses could potentially need to be supported at least in part by the local taxpayer. Golden Fire Rescue is always looking for more volunteers. If you would like to be part of their team, visit the Golden Fire Department with your resume or call 250-344-6401. Interested applicants are also encouraged to join a fire practice any time on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.

Loitering youth frustrates store owner Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Frustrations have reached an all time high for a local business owner after the police were called to help deal with some loitering students at her shop. "I'm getting cold to the issue," said Janet Crandall, owner of Moose Trax on 9th Avenue North. "This just doesn't belong in a retail area." Crandall is referring to the Youth Centre located beside her store, which also shares an entrance. Since the centre opened, about 18 months ago (six months after Moose Trax opened), loitering has been a problem - a problem that Crandall says is affecting her business. On Feb. 24, a group of regulars at the centre were hanging around inside the entrance to the building. And when they were asked to leave by the building manager, things escalated, and the police were called. All of the youth involved were handed a suspension from the youth centre. "They realize they stepped outside of what they should be doing," said Patrick O'Neill, co-ordinator for the youth centre. "They know the rules." O’Neill has been working at the centre since November, and was aware there had been some complaints from Crandall regarding the behaviour of some of the kids, but says that improvements have been made. And tools such as the week-long suspensions he believes to be an effective way of dealing such incidents. "I know that smoking was an issue, and they have moved away from the door, and down the street," he said. "I've talked to (Crandall) several times, and we're doing what we can to accommodate her and her business."

Crandall is appreciative of all the work that O’Neill has put in, calling him "very effective" in the position, but still says that is not enough. She says the youth's behaviour is "disrespectful," and that it is most problematic when the centre is not open, and O'Neill is not there. "I used to think that there was a way for us to co-exist, but after (Feb. 24) I don't feel that way anymore," she said. "I'm open for a miracle, but after 12 months of looking for that solution, it doesn't seem to be happening." In the time that the youth centre has been open, she has seen a decrease in her sales. Although she admits that spring is a slow time for retail regardless, Crandall says she sees potential customers (most of them being women, children and tourists) walk towards the door, see the group of teenagers hanging around the door, change their mind, and turn and walk away. She worries that her customers are afraid to navigate through the crowd, which she describes as “intimidating.” "It's killing my business," she said. Crandall is one of ten tenants in the Patlar Building, and one of four that are privately owned businesses. Vivid Hair Salon is one of those four, and owner Cari Wilson says she has not been experiencing similar problems. "I've been here for about a month, and I haven't had any problems," said Wilson, adding that she also hasn't received any complaints from her clients. Crandall’s space is the only one (other than the youth centre) that has a view of the street and entrance way, making the activity around the door more visible. “If it was just once in a while that would be one thing, but it’s not, it’s all the time,” said Crandall. “After 18 months of this, I am completely out of patience.”

Formed in 2008, Alexa’s Team grew from 26 members to 355 RCMP and Municipal police officers from all corners of the province by 2012, and has included multiple members from the Golden RCMP detachment.

“Whatever was introduced into the energized electrical circuits, the fuse blew, and that eliminated any fire problem after that because it got rid of the electrical energy. However when a fuse like that blows, it creates a lot of smoke.” Extra vehicles (from the fire department, BC Ambulance and RCMP) were brought to the location to keep the residents warm and comfortable while the building was being inspected. “When we were able to determine that the building was safe, we moved everyone back inside to their meeting room, and then we started repairs,” said McClure. “It was important that we were able to keep everyone warm and comfortable while they were waiting.” An electrician was brought in right away to make the repairs, and all of the residents were able to return to their rooms that same night. The event was a bit disruptive for the residents, some of whom were on oxygen or had taken some night time medication. It was about two hours out of their night, however McClure says all the residents were patient, understanding and grateful to the department for the assistance. “The guys did a really good job, we had between 15 and 18 firefighters on scene in under three minutes from the time of the alarm,” he said. “This is a good news story.”

Spirit Square fight Police responded to a reported fight at Spirit Square on Feb. 25. The subjects were found fighting on the ground and were separated by RCMP members. Both had been drinking, and one in particular was extremely intoxicated. One person left immediately upon police request. Officers made a number of attempts to have the other, who was quite intoxicated, leave in the company of family who were able to care for them. This person ultimately was lodged in cells and held until he was sober. Purcell apartment fire On Feb. 25, police responded to assist the fire department at the Purcell Apartments on 12th Street South. The fire department responded to a report of smoke in the electrical room. The apartment houses a number of seniors. Police responded to assist with evacuation. Many residents were kept warm in emergency vehicles at the scene. The fire crew was able to

Police warn of recurring fraud On Feb. 26 a Golden resident received a letter in the mail along with an enclosed cheque. The letter invited this person to be a mystery shopper and had instructions on how the funds from the cheque should be dispersed. It included a small reward for their participation and instructed that the bulk of the money be sent via Western Union and money gram to two named persons. The mystery shopper was to then report their experience back to the company. This is a long standing fraud where a client cashes the cheque, the funds are then transferred by the client only later to find the cheque is a fraud and they are left to pay it back to the bank. Many of these frauds originate outside of the country. If you receive a similar type letter, do not act on it. Report the fraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre.ca as well as to your local police.

$391 million for Parks Canada in budget Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Parks Canada received a major boost from the federal budget last month when it was promised $391 million over the next six years. The money is to be allocated towards improving highways, bridges, dams and other infrastructure and comes as welcome news for residents of Eastern British Columbia and Kootenay/Columbia MP David Wilks. “I’m delighted, I truly am. It’s not too often that you can get, within a budget, an actual commitment from the government on a certain part of your constituency that will be improved upon,” he said. It remains unclear how the money will be spent, but road

improvements through Glacier National Park has been identified as a high priority project. Wilks recognizes that it will be his challenge to ensure that the highways receive proper attention. “Now it’s my job to see how much money I can get of that $391 million,” he said. “Realistically I would like to be able to secure $80-100 million of that. I believe that’s a realistic request.” Twinning the Trans-Canada Highway all the way through Glacier is a massive project that was estimated by Parks Canada to cost $1-2 billion, but Wilks believes it is important to get started as soon as possible. “You have to start somewhere,” he said. “Whether it’s Yoho, Glacier or Mt. Revelstoke we need to get to the point

where we can twin that highway. It’s the gateway to Vancouver… we need to have it more freeflowing.” Developments on Highway 1 east of Golden, Wilks argues, have been a tremendous success, which only furthers the idea that more highway upgrades are generally worth the massive price tag. “When you look at the improvements made on the Trans-Canada Highway (east of Golden) I don’t think there was anyone who could argue to say that it hasn’t been 100 or 200 percent better, if not 1000 times better.” It is not yet known when decisions will be made regarding the allocated funds or exactly how much of the $391 million will be given to Parks Canada each year.

Online Safety

opinion

Road Rescue Service

Most dangerous equipment requires certification to operate. To get a driver's license in British Columbia you have to go through a graduated licensing system that takes years. But to use the internet you require only a connection. This tool, which has tremendous - I SURMISE power for both good By Jessica Schwitek and bad, is open to absolutely everyone, even though the consequences can last a lifetime. That was one of the main points that Merlyn Horton, a Canadian expert on online trends and safety, was trying to drive home at the recent Modern Family presentation at the Golden Civic Centre. I am relatively new to the social media world, and quite honestly, she scared me a bit. I'm certainly not the type to put any "unflattering" images of myself on the internet. But when access to the web and social media is in my pocket at 2 a.m. (when my decision making powers are at an all-time low), I could make a mistake. Anyone could. And even if I don't make a mistake, I have no control over what other people are doing and posting. The internet is permanent, it lasts forever. This is a tough concept to wrap our heads around, especially since no one has lived an entire lifetime with the internet yet. I have lived most of my life with the very comforting fact that no matter what, I can always start over. I can move somewhere new, and have a new beginning if I so choose. But now, and perhaps not for me, but certainly for the next generation, it doesn't matter where you move. You're online ID will follow you, and this online ID is becoming more and more valid. Horton rattled off some statistics about what employers look at when considering a potential employee. And their social media sites are one of them. Employers will look at your posts, photos, and even your grammar. The technology is only advancing, and soon, with facial recognition software, people will not only be able to search you by your name, but also your face - meaning that even if you are not “tagged” in photos, you can still be identified. All of this technology is new, and society is rushing to catch up. Presentations like the Modern Family one are a great step in the right direction, but more of this is needed. Not only do children need the tools to be safe online, parents and adults need to keep up on the trends as well. You can’t monitor or control something you don’t understand.

Editor, I understand that the town is considering establishing Road Rescue Service on our area highways as a confirmed service of the Town of Golden. I do have some questions and hope that information will be available in the Star before any commitment is made. What area would the town be responsible for? Would it be to the park boundaries on Highway 1?

What provision would be made to ensure that if volunteers go out on the highway for a rescue that there are sufficient volunteers remaining available in town to deal with an in town fire or emergency? What kind of commitment would the town be making to provide this service? Could we stop providing the service if we, at some time in the future, found that the available volunteers couldn’t do both in town firefighting and Highway Rescue? Or if the cost became too much and the provincial assistance

In addition to camera instruction, they received infantry train-

We encourage all students to participate over Spring Break— no matter how much money they bring in, the reading will help their learning! Permission forms for participating went home this week. There are prizes for class with

most pledges, student who reads the most, student who collects the most money and some draws for all participants. Pink Shirt Day: Students wore pink on Feb. 26th to recognize Pink Shirt Day and remind ourselves about the importance of treating everyone with respect and kindness. We also had an assembly to share a student powerpoint, poems, songs and more. The message of this day is something we should think about every day. Aboriginal Field Trip: By: Garrett, Piper and Syenna The grade 7 aboriginal students went to Cranbrook on Tuesday with Mrs. Tresierra to attend an Indigenous Health and Science Career Fair. We saw some amazing chemistry demonstrations and learned that oxygen can be made into a powder and be stored. That’s how airplanes store their oxygen in case of an emergency. We also learned about the medicine wheel and how it can be applied to the health careers.

The best part of all, was when we worked as a team and set up and took down a full size teepee. We had just one close call. When we were taking down one of the VERY long poles we almost dropped it on a group of people. Phew! That was a close one. Winter Festival: by Neva Dalinghaus Way back in October, the grade sevens went to the Disc Golf course for a leadership camp. We made character bracelets with Mrs. Tresierra and then filled in our character logs, showing how we worked on these traits. As a reward for our hard work, we decided to continue our leadership and put on a Winter Fun Day for APES. We also had a fun afternoon at LGES testing our awesome activities with M. Lambert and Mme Bernier/Mrs. Arlt’s classes. We enjoyed a sweet treat (sucre à la crème) at the end of the day. Yum! On Thursday, February 27th, we headed over to APES in the afternoon to present our stations to our little buddies. We hope they had as much fun as we did preparing for this event!

Field Elementary: by Sue Larose February has passed in a blur of special occasions…. We had a Chinese New year lunch cooked for us by Steve the Cathedral Lodge chef; a Valentine’s tea party which was a sweet overload; 100 days at school (strangely there was no food involved!). We also did a special winter exploration courtesy of “Captain Powder”, made coloured ice lanterns with Jane Powell and started cross- country ski lessons. No sign of Spring up here yet, but pretty soon we are expecting some tricks to be played on us by those pesky leprechauns! Second term report cards go home this Friday, March 7th. Please don’t hesitate to come in and talk to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to us that we communicate your child’s learning clearly and work together to support them. Spring Break begins on March 15th. Students return to school on Monday, March 31st. Have a wonderful break!

Liberal claim of no tax raises is misleading says local MLA Whether it is a fee, a rate or a service charge, if you are paying it to fund a government program, you might as well call it what it is: a tax. Premier Clark might claim that her budget didn’t raise taxes, but we all know that costs to taxpayers for government services are still rising. For instance, BC Hydro rates are going up by 28 per cent over the next 5 years. While the Minister of Energy will tell you that the reason for the rate increase is to repair aging infrastructure, the truth is that much of that increase is going directly to provincial revenue. Here’s how it works. In order to ‘balance’ the budget, the BC Liberals simply require crown cor-

porations such as BC Hydro to pay a specific ‘dividend’ to the province as the corporation’s only shareholder. It does not matter whether or not the corporation actually has enough profit to pay the dividend; the dividend must simply be paid. The only way for BC Hydro to make this payment to government’s coffers is to raise your hydro rates. That’s a tax. We all know that we have to contribute in order to fund government programs; we don’t like paying taxes, but we know we have to work together to make society function. And we agree that those who are most able to pay should pay more than those who are struggling.

But the BC Hydro rate ‘tax’ hits hardest those who can least afford to pay. Every person, regardless of income, will pay the same rate increase, and for many in our communities this is just too much to bear. So when you hear Premier Clark and her Minister of Finance claim that there are no new taxes and we have a balanced budget, keep in mind the path we are taking to get there. In the case of BC Hydro, we are heavily taxing individuals who have no other option to heat and light their homes. And we are throwing away our established principles of tax fairness just to serve the Premier’s political agenda.

This year’s parade a great success Joyce deBoer Playhouse Volunteer The snow has melted out of the Snow King’s beard and the giant moose has been carefully stored away. The eighth Snow King’s masqueParade was a success in many ways that need to be highlighted: - Around 1000 people crowded into Spirit Square to watch the pageant -- that is a lot of people for an event in Golden - Almost 200 people from Golden and Area A freely shared their time, creativity and sense of fun to create the costumes and acts as well as to produce the event -- that is a lot of people for an event in Golden In other words, a lot of people participated in the event, and numbers are important when determining success. You can stick them into formulas for economic development and into reports that are important in some settings. But other things happened that mark success in other ways. Here are just a few examples. The Equestrian Team that performed early in the pageant had just come from visiting the residents at Mountain View Apartments, bringing the masqueParade to the folks there who don’t get out much. A man with a painful injury that kept him from working and who claimed to have never done anything “creative” in his life popped in to see what was happening and found fellowship and a new side to his personality while he

made a very attractive mask from cardboard and glue. The giant sombrero was dreamed up and created by a group of tweeners who did not look at distracting screens for hours at a time as they planned and problem-solved over several days to create their “act”. A family rushed into the Playhouse in the last hours of open public time to make lanterns. Having enjoyed previous masqueParades, they really wanted their two young children to be able to participate again but they had just had a baby a few days before(!). Having the Playhouse available to do the craft together and get on with their busy life was perfect for them and much appreciated. This year I was asked several times where the performers had come from; surely such talent was paid for and came from another town or city. With the exception of the Krampus creature who joined us from Edmonton because he heard about the show, all the talent we showcase is from people who live right here, in Golden and Area A and is offered to us for free. Your neighbours, new residents and folks born and raised here, young children and retirees, professionals and those seeking employment, we all came together, learned from each other and enjoyed putting on a performance that made over 1000 people get out and enjoy the winter night. Yup, this year’s masqueParade was a success, no matter how you look at it.

Golden Families gather to learn about online trends and safety Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Parents of young children and other concerned Golden residents came out to

the Golden Civic Centre to find out what it means to be a modern family in the internet era. Merlyn Horton, the Executive Direc-

tor of the Safe Online Outreach Society (SOLOS), talked to the crowd (most of whom identified themselves as parents of children ages

10 and under), about some of the online trends of youth, and some of the dangers. “The access to information now is overwhelming,” said Hor-

ton. “It’s important to pay attention to where our kids are going.” The world has changed, and the online world is where youth, particularly teens, are choosing to socialize. This is a fact we have to accept rather than discourage says Horton. Teens are often so afraid that their parents will take away their “social space” either through their devices or access to the internet, that they don’t tell their parents when there is a problem (like online harassment). Instead, what Hor-

ton recommends is that very clear guidelines and rules are set right from the beginning. The internet is too powerful a tool, with too severe consequences to just give children free rein. “The internet is permanent,” said Horton. “You’re online identity will follow you forever.” Regardless of what privacy settings are set with social media, everything is viewable with the right hack. And nothing goes away. This means that an unflattering photo put online when you’re 14, will still be

there when you’re 30 and applying for a job. Horton cited a study where the majority of employers who were polled said they did check out potential employees online, and looked unfavourably upon ones who had photos that portrayed drug or alcohol use, as well as those whose Facebook pages had poor grammar. For anyone who couldn’t make it out to the presentation, information about safe online habits can be found at www. safeonlineoutreach. com.

British Columbia is changing the way they support non-profit organizations across the province. The new Step Up BC will be holding an engagement session (one of only three in the province) in Golden on March 12. “Non-profit professionals and volunteers are going to be getting a sneak peak at the tools that they will be offering, which is a very thorough set of HR resources specific to non-profits,” said Ryan Whatmough. Step Up BC will officially be launched later in the month, replacing the five-year Labour Mar-

ket Partnership project. The engagement session in Golden will include a morning session (which consists of a presentation on Step Up BC’s tools, and best practices to attract and retain talent), and an afternoon session (following more of an open discussion format to explore evaluation methods to determine success, and ways to improve). This free event is open to everyone, and Whatmough expects that it will bring in non-profit workers from across the region. It will start at 9 a.m., and continue until 4 p.m. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to gary. gottselig@vancouverfoundation. ca. Please RSVP by March 9.

Goldenites to get a taste of traditional Francophone music Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Le Vent du Nord, a traditional Francophone band out of Quebec, will be making a stop in Golden on Mar. 13 as part of a Western Canadian tour that will include dates in Victoria, Merritt and Maple Ridge. The group was founded in 2002 and has had the same lineup of four performers since 2007. Nicolas Boulerice, who plays a traditional French instrument called the hurdy gurdy, and Olivier Demers, a violinist and guitar player, are the two remaining members from the band’s debut album Maudite mois-

son, which won a 2004 JUNO award for best Traditional Album of the year. Simon Beaudry and Rejean Brunet round out the quarter. The hurdy gurdy might not be too familiar to most North American audiences, but it’s use is essential to the sound of Le Vent du Nord. Boulerice got his start with the hurdy gurdy, which has a set of keys and strings, after witnessing a street performance in Montreal. Since the instrument was hard to find, he decided to build his own. While he doesn’t use his homemade hurdy gurdy for performances these days, building it helped him gain a better knowledge of the instru-

ment as a whole. “When you build something like an instrument, you know more about what it is, how it’s made, how it’s supposed to move… because (the hurdy gurdy) is very rare, it was a good way to meet that instrument.” In addition to the hurdy gurdy, audiences can expect to hear an assortment of instruments including the violin, accordion, piano and the bouzouki (a Greek instrument with a sound similar to a lower-pitched mandolin). Le Vent du Nord has a very energetic, upbeat style of music for audiences, and despite their French lyrics, they enjoy a good inter-

Chiwitel Ejiofor stars in 2013 Best Picture winner 12 Years a Slave. River Road Entertainment Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net “I don’t want to survive, I want to live.” That’s what Solomon Northup states not long after he is sold into slavery, but unfortunately a good portion of his life was spent simply surviving, rather than living. 12 Years a Slave, recently crowned Best Picture at the Academy Awards, is based on the true story of Solomon Northup (who wrote the book the movie is based on and is portrayed by Chiwetel Ejiofor). Northup was a free man living in New York in the 1840s before he was kidnapped, beaten and sold into slavery in the American south. Initially, he is the possession of a decent owner named William Ford who treats him with a measure of respect. Northup, however, is harrassed by a carpenter named John Tibeats (Paul Dano). When their animosity escalates, Ford must sell him to Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) in order to protect him from Tibeats. Unlike Ford, Epps treats his slaves like animals and beats those who don’t pick at least 200 pounds of cot-

ton per day. Northup’s life as a slave becomes increasingly difficult under the supervision of his new owner. 12 Years a Slave is not an easy film to watch. Not since Schindler’s List have I felt this uncomfortable during a movie and I certainly won’t be rushing to see this one again anytime soon. That doesn’t mean that it isn’t a must-see movie, however, because it is. Ejiofor and Fassbender are perfect in their respective roles, and newcomer Lupita Nyong’o is a very pleasant surprise in a supporting role as one of Epps’ slaves. Her performance is a key component to one of the film’s most memorable scenes. Musically, Hans Zimmer does an expert job (as usual) of enhancing inspiring moments and creating a real sense of discomfort at other times. The soundtrack is at times jarring and right in your face, and it adds a lot to the movie. Another thing that I really appreciated with this movie was that throughout Northup’s 12 years through hell, the audience isn’t given a single update on how long he has been enslaved. I’d imagine that time must have felt both endless and trivial for Northup, and not letting the audience in on how much time had lapsed gives us that sense as well. In the same vein, not seeing Northup’s family on screen during his slavery really added to the film in the end and contributed greatly to its climactic scene. 12 Years a Slave is gut-wrenching, at times difficult to watch, and powerful. In many ways, it was the most important film of 2013. For that reason, I’ll give 12 Years a Slave 9 dancing hot dogs out of 10. 12 Years a Slave is now available at Kicking Horse Movies

GSS Eagles have high hopes for provincials

Rahul Summan (3), who is trailed by Saje Gosal (7) drives the ball up the court during the Kootenay Zone Championships. Photo Submitted/Jody Hiraoka Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net On Jan. 24 at the Kicking Horse Classic the Golden Secondary School senior boys basketball team met its match against the Valleyview Vikes from Kamloops. The Vikes, now ranked as the fourth best AA team in B.C., squeaked out a 67-62 win over the Eagles in a closely contested game. That matchup will now serve as a learning tool for the Eagles, who will get another shot at Valleyview on a bigger stage in the opening round of the Provin-

cial Championships in Langley. “They’ve beat us twice over the years, in really close games and we feel we can come out ahead against them,” said captain Saje Gosal. It’s a confident team that will take to the court in Langley, having gone on an incredible run since that loss to Valleyview, including a convincing pair of wins at the Kootenay Zone Tournament to punch their ticket for the provincials. The Eagles are led on and off the court by Gosal, Neal Randhawa and Rahul

Summan, who are very familiar with each other having grown up playing with the Golden Basketball Association (GBA). “We’ve been playing together since we were five years old with GBA and stuff, now that we are playing on a team together, that makes a difference,” said Gosal. Even with the solid play from the Eagles’ veteran trio, it is the development of younger players such as Grade 10s Kiran Gosal (Saje’s younger brother) and Meva Dhami that’s helped push the team over the top.

“In terms of our younger kids, Meva and Kiran, they have been playing basketball for a long time and their skills are really advanced but their bodies aren’t necessarily at the strength of a man,” Saje Gosal said. “We know they are going to be amazing players when they reach Grade 12 as well.” “On and off the court you have to encourage them and be their friends and grow with them,” said Summan regarding his role as one of the team’s leaders. “In practice, times

get tough some times. (Head coach) Kindy Gosal pushes us hard and sometimes the new players can’t really handle it. As the leaders on the court we have to encourage them to keep pushing themselves…and we all grow as a group,” said Randhawa. Perhaps the biggest positive for the Eagles is that their entire roster will be returning next year except for Summan, who represents the team’s lone Grade 12 player. With his high school career coming to an end, it’s understandably a bittersweet time of the year for Summan. “It hasn’t really hit me,” he said. “I’m just focusing on the next game and the task at hand, I’m sure in the warm ups for our last game of the season it’s going to hit me.” Tip off for the Eagles’ opening round game is set for 4:30 pm Mountain Time this afternoon. You can catch a live stream of that game at langleyeventscentre. com/events/videostreams. A loss will put Golden in the consolation bracket, while a win would see them move on to the final eight in the 16 team tournament.

Rockets coach looks ahead to off-season

Matt McMath will be one of several Rockets defencemen absent from next year’s team. Joel Tansey/Star Photo Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Having missed the playoffs a year after a

thrilling post season run that saw them soar to the third round for the first time in franchise

history, it’s safe to say that the Golden Rockets’ 2013/2014 season was a disappointment.

When analyzing what went wrong, it’s important to remember that this was a very young team that lost a multitude of key players from last year such as Keith Wake, Blake Roney, Carter Cochrane and star goaltender James Leonard. Expecting the team to replicate the success from the previous year’s group turned out to be an unrealistic goal. With just one returning player from the team’s top two lines last season, it was up to the Rockets’ younger forwards to step up and take on the bulk of the scoring duties. Head

coach Ty Davidson feels that Braeden Allkins, Tanner Watt and Cole Mckechney, the team’s top three scorers, were the players who really stepped up and improved throughout the 2013/2014 season. “That top line, if we get all three of those guys back, I expect big things from those three players,” he said. Nevertheless, Davidson will not stand pat with his current roster and will be looking to make some moves in the offseason to improve in all areas. Continued on page 14

Continued from page 13

The skaters from the Golden Figure Skating Club took a break from rehearsing their annual Ice Show for a picture. The show is on March 8. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo

Skating club finishes successful season with ice show Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The ice won’t be in the Golden Arena much longer, and the Golden Figure Skating Club is finishing the season off with their annual Ice Show on March 8. “This is a great time for the community to come out and watch the skaters perform and showcase the types of skating they are involved in,” said Karen Nemecek, head coach for the club. “The skaters work hard all year to improve their skills, for some this is the one time they can exhibit their skating ability. For the competitive skaters it is a

great way to wind down the season, they can perform knowing they are not getting judged.” And they will certainly need a wind down from this season, as it has been a busy and successful one for the competitive skaters. Before Christmas, 12 skaters participated in a test day where a male dance partner was arranged. Each girl was given some practice time, and then tested with the partner in either dances, skills, or freeskate (or all three). “This is a long and stressful day…but our skaters had very good results, “ said Nemecek.

StarCROSSWORD

The club also participated in the Okanagan Regional Championships from Feb. 14-17. Five skaters from the Golden Figure Skating Club attended, and came back with four medals. Three skaters have even been invited to a High Performace Camp in Kelowna this April. “Most of the figure skaters Golden competes against skate 11 months of the year…I am hoping some of my skaters will attend Spring and Summer Camp to keep the momentum going,” said Nemecek. The annual Ice Show will be at 6:30 p.m. (only one show this year), on March 8. Tickets are $5 for adults, and children 12 and under are free.

“If we can improve any of our positions, we want to do that. If we brought in a big time top 6 guy to be our best forward, that just puts everybody else down a notch and makes us a deeper team,” he said. “But the one position we really have to focus on is our defence core.” It’s not a surprise that Davidson plans to focus on recruiting defencemen. The Rockets will be losing veteran leaders Michael Anderson and Coltin Berard, as well as Matt McMath, who is foregoing his final year of junior eligibility in favour of attending school. Help could come as a result of a pair of mid-season trades. The Rockets will receive a yet to be named player from each of the Kamloops Storm and the Castlegar Rebels as compensation for both the Brett DeFrias and Connor Beauchemin deals respectively. Those players will be revealed at the conclusion of the KIJHL playoffs. Meanwhile, the Columbia Valley Rockies, who knocked the Rockets out of the playoffs in the final game of the regular season, have already been eliminated from the post-season after losing four straight games to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Davidson sees the Thunder Cats as a threat to win the championship this year, but believes the top contender for the KIJHL title belongs to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. “They have, in my opinion, every component. They have size, toughness, speed, skill, a great back-end, solid goaltending and they are wellcoached,” he said.

GSS hands out Sparklers for Pink Shirt Day Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net

In honour of Pink Shirt Day, Golden Secondary School students have found a way to show each other how special they are. The Sparkler Campaign, a now annual initiative organized by the leadership class, aims to make every student in the school feel included and important. “We go around and hand out pieces

of paper to all the kids, and they get to write a compliment to somebody they don’t usually talk to, someone they’re not necessarily friends with,” said Larisa Johnson, a Grade 12 student at GSS, and member of the leadership class. “And then we buy Sparklers for everybody, and tape all those compliments onto the Sparklers and hand them out to every kid in the school. So everyone gets a compliment today.” This is the third year that the class

has been handing out the sparkling flavoured juice drink to every student in the school. “I think it is so important to have events for the school that get everyone involved, so they actually look forward to coming to school. It’s not always just class,” said Johnson. They had to buy 400 Sparklers for the student body this year, and thankfully Overwaitea helped them out with the purchase.
