KHR Dyke in ‘good shape’ says expert Golden Cycling Club has trails ready to go ..................................19

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Dave Cooper, a specialist in river engineering from Matrix Solutions, delivered a presentation at Town council’s May 27 meeting. Cooper outlined the various flood risks that are present along the Kicking Horse River based on a study that was just completed in February.

“Overall the dyke system is fairly well armoured and in good shape,” Cooper said. However, he did point out some potential risks. The effect that sedimentation could have on future flood levels and the high-energy nature of the Kicking Horse makes it a situation that always needs to be monitored. As was seen this past winter, some winter hazards exist as well. “The other risk is ice jams from ice coming

down into the canyon. With all of these risks we have to come up with our protection guidelines,” he said. Among the data that Cooper shared with the meeting was information regarding the maximum flow of the river going back as early as 1912 (with a very large data gap between 1921 and 1974).

Youth Media Showcase taught lessons of safety and respect Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Golden Secondary School’s Grade 10 class put together a very special media display at the Golden Youth Centre to showcase some of the important lessons they have learned this year. Golden’s Community Coordination for Safety in Relationships (CCSR) team, which consists of a number of local professionals from different fields, approached the high school to see if they could be involved in educating youth on topics such as healthy relationships, sexual assault and consent. This was after a 2012 Gender Based Analysis in Golde,n conducted by the same committee (in which 213 local youth participated), revealed that prevention programs for youth were needed in the community, particularly relationship training. The CCSR decided to bring in the Safe Teen Program from the lower mainland, which teaches youth the skills they need to handle potentially violent situations, how to be assertive, as well as self defence for girls, and the prevalence of the boy code that exists in our society. In addition to these classes, with funding from Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program, the CCSR team was able to bring Safe Teen to Golden to speak with the Grade 10 students as well as parents. The showcase included a variety of mediums to discuss the themes of safety in relationships and gender based vio-

CCSR project co-ordinator at the Youth Centre showcase. “We asked them to create awarenessraising tools around the subjects covered in class, that we could then bring to the greater community, which is what we’re

doing tonight.” Only one student was brave enough to perform her work live at the event, much of it was shown through video. Naomi Lenstra performed the poem she wrote during the Planning 10 class.

Kootenay region showing signs of economic improvement Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net

The Kootenay economy may still be on the upswing, according to a recent report. A new report from the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC (CPABC) reveals that the Kootenays continued to show signs of economic recovery in 2013. The BC Check-Up, Regional Edition shows that for the third consecutive year, the region saw job creation, lower unemployment, and an increase in capital investment. “As we continue to recover from the recession, our economy is gaining strength, with continued expansions in the labour market putting the Kootneays ahead of other regions in the province in terms of job creation,” said Cindy Popescul, CPA, CA, with BDO Canada LLP in Cranbrook. The report found that in 2013, the Kootenays saw the addition of 3,100 new jobs. Regional employment swelled to 77,900, up by 4.1 per cent, surpassing the pre-recession high of 76,700 in 2007. This drove the region’s unemployment rate down to 5.2 per cent,

which is the second lowest in the province in 2013 and below the provincial average of 6.6 per cent. Job growth was largely driven by the services-producing sector. The trade industry added 1,800 jobs, while transportation and warehousing, and accommodation and food services industries added 1,000 new jobs each. Other significant service sector job gains were reported in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing, health care and social assistance, and information, culture and recreation industries. The health care and social assistance industry also grew substantially in the past five years, and has fuelled two thirds of the growth in the region’s service sector employment. New developments in 2014 will continue to improve the Kootenay’s employment and economy. Several large projects have the potential to proceed, including the Jumbo Glacier Resort ($900 million), Teck’s water treatment facilities in Sparwood ($600 million), the Bingay Main Coal Project ($480 million), and Phase Two of Teck Coal’s Line Creek Mine ($140 million). The economy will also be driven from increased global demand for B.C.’s resources, primarily in the forestry industry. Rising housing starts in the U.S. and demand from China means continued demand for

B.C. lumber. However, a surplus of coal in world markets combined with slowing growth in China has further reduced coal prices during the first quarter of 2014, and some North American producers have cut back production and staff. It is anticipated that the five East Kootenay operations will remain busy throughout 2014. “The economy is on its path to full recovery,” said Popescul. “However, we need to remain cautiously optimistic. The region’s high rate of consumer insolvencies confirms that not all of the Kootenay’s residents benefited from the improvements in the labour market. The tight job market also makes it challenging for young people to remain in the region and this poses a risk on permanently losing valuable human capital.” The Kootenay Development Region comprises the Kootenay-Boundary, Central Kootenay, and East Kootenay Regional Districts, and accounts for nearly 3.2 per cent of the provincial population. The BC Check-Up, Regional Edition looks at each region as a place to work, invest, and live. The report is available online at: www.bccheckup.com.

Haul truck simulator makes a stop at College of the Rockies Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

The College of the Rockies is hoping to offer a new program in Golden that uses some sophisticated technology to give students a leg up when applying for jobs in the Canadian mining industry. The Haul Truck Operator program has been a success at COTR’s Fernie and Cranbrook campuses and Karen Cathcart, campus manager in Golden, thinks this program would be a great addition to the Golden campus of the college. “Given the mining industry and the number of people who are going to work up in Fort McMurray, and even the construction industry…people who have this skill will be able to work and having this certificate that says they are competent to drive these big massive haul trucks…it’s a growing employment trend right now,” Cathcart said. As part of the program, students receive both classroom and hands on training through a state of the art simulator. “When (students) are done this course, I would take them to a mine, I’d put them in a truck, and I’d sit in a jumpsuit and I’d let them drive. (The simulator) prepares them to do a walk around from a pre-trip to a posttrip,” said Darren Hood, one of the course’s instructors. The simulator re-creates a variety of different scenarios during training and has students put through various real-life situations, including some with bad weather conditions and poor visibility. Students who complete the four week program have found that they are that much more prepared for the real thing, but it isn’t just prospective employees who benefit from the training. “(The program) is going to lessen the training time that any company has to put in,” said Hood. “Another advantage for companies is that if they hire 10 people off the street with no experience at all, after a month and a half they are lucky if they have five left. If people are taking the expense and the time to do this course…they’re a little more committed.”

The simulator used by COTR’s Haul Truck Operator program uses state-of-the-art technology to replicate the experience of driving a truck in order to prepare its students for work. Joel Tansey/Star Photo A mobile version simulator was on location in Golden last week in an effort to gauge interest in bringing the program here. Cathcart says that the $7,500 program will only accept

Land bill passes despite opposition Staff Writer Black Press The B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer Thursday with opposition MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones. The government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consultation with farmers around the province. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” shouted NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons, before storming out of the chamber as the opposition’s time ran out. Simons returned to withdraw his comments so he could vote against the legislation. Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farmland uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Commission panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald accused the government of adding social and economic considerations to farmland as a pretext to undermine the commission’s independence. “We are talking about important agricultural areas that will now be open to exclusions, that decision being made by a bunch of B.C. Liberal political hacks on criteria that are totally nebulous – to the extent that there’s even a provision to

add whatever else the cabinet wants to add,” Macdonald said. “It could be economic. It could be social. It could be anything.” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criticism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve productive farmland. Letnick used the example of a Peace River region farmer who was prevented from parking gas industry trucks on his land during winter to earn extra money. “We as a government believe that there’s an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land,” Letnick said. NDP leader John Horgan said a leaked 2012 email exchange between Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm suggests a “vendetta” against the ALC and a desire to weaken it for political gain. Pimm, who was replaced as agriculture minister as he undergoes cancer surgery, issued an apology this week for his comments in the email. Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island zones, which generate 85% of B.C.’s farm income. “We are making it economic in areas with a shorter growing season, with less productive farmland, to be able to continue to make land valuable enough that they will pass it down to another family,” Clark said.

Smart Cyclists Ride on the Right Side of the Road

As humans, we are predominantly right handed. In North America we drive on the right side, tend to walk on the right side and I suspect that this right side bias carries over into many other areas that we are not even aware of. I learned as a young police officer that if I was attempting to catch a driver that I had lost sight of I would be more successful if I turned right instead of left at the next intersection. A smart cyclist will take advantage of this situation by always riding on the right had side. A very high percentage of cycle crashes involve turning and crossing in traffic at intersections. These are often busy places where drivers are trying to track many moving objects at once and determine a safe path for their intended direction of travel. Cyclists tend to be a smaller target that other vehicles in traffic and tend to be ignored. If you are riding on the wrong side drivers are not looking for you there and this compounds the risk further. Wrong way riders can have up to four times the collision risk than those who ride properly on the right. Riding on the sidewalk is also not safer than riding on the roadway. Drivers are watching for pedestrians on sidewalks, not fast moving bicycles. You can increase your risk by two to nine times if you ride on the sidewalk. There is also a significant risk of colliding with pedestrians. Ride in a straight line and choose your lane position wisely. If you are travelling at the speed of surrounding traffic ride in the lane itself. If you are slower, ride on the right side but do not hug the curb. Drivers will try to take advantage of the room to squeeze by if you don’t take control of the situation by riding in the lane where there is no paved shoulder. Finally, be courteous. Like slow drivers, give others the chance to pass.The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca.

Exhibit building donation Golden schools not in session June 6 Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net The B.C. Teachers' Federation has notified school districts it will continue rotating strikes around the province this week, as negotiations continue to settle their long-running dispute over pay and staffing levels. BCTF president Jim Iker notified the B.C. Public School Employers' Association in a letter Wednesday (May 29) afternoon. Education Minister Peter Fassbender reiterated the BCPSEA's latest offer of a $1,200 signing bonus and a six-year contract term, but indicated the union needs to modify its demands and stop strike action. "I'm profoundly disappointed that while we're

still at the table, with all of the talk that's been going on, that children and parents and communities are continuing to be held hostage and put in the middle of this dispute," Fassbender said. The Labour Relations Board heard arguments Thursday on whether the school districts can cut teacher pay 10 per cent in response to the union's withdrawal of services. At the time of publication the results were not released. A ruling is expected on June 4. As part of the rotating strikes, School District 6 will be striking on Friday June 6. The schools in Golden will not be open, and the busses will not be running. Up to date teachers strike information is available at http://www.sd6.bc.ca.

The Golden Museum is turning 40 and Goldenites are encouraged to join in on the anniversary celebration on June 5. The museum was first discussed at a meeting of the newly formed Golden and District Historical Society in 1968. Over the next few years money was raised to fund a new building for the museum, with construction beginning in 1971. Its grand, public opening took place on June 1, 1974. The celebration will serve as a way to show off what the museum has to offer for those who haven’t been in a while, or ever, and as a way to unveil some of the museum’s latest improvements. “We’re renovating the outdoor exhibit building and it will be ready for this event as well,” said Colleen Palumbo, the museum’s manager. “I’ll do some tours, and members of the historical society will be there to answer questions about some of the things in the museum.” Guests at the anniversary will also have a chance to view some material that isn’t normally available for public viewing. “People will be allowed to go into those areas that are normally not allowed,” Palumbo said. “They’ll be able to peak into the storage areas and see what it is that we’re protecting and the kinds of things that we have.” The event will take place from 5-7 p.m. and will include live music courtesy of Travis and Larry Pickering and a hamburger barbecue, while face painting will help keep the kids entertained.

Some sections don’t meet standards Continued from page 1 The maximum flow of the river peaked at an all-time recorded high in 1916, with recent highs seen in 2012 and 2007. The study also looked at freeboard (or clearance) levels along the river to the top of the dyke. The provincial guideline is to have 0.6m or greater of freeboard based on the 200 year flood level. Some areas in Golden didn’t meet that standard, but some of those sections are only slightly lower than the 0.6m guideline, often by mere centimetres. “The only real cases where it’s a bit more is just downstream of the Highway (95)

The Town of Golden had to close the alley parallel to the Kicking Horse River in June of 2012 when the water levels rose to high. Star Photo bridge,” said Cooper. “There are some spots there where it’s about 30 or 40 centimetres lower.” But, because of the Kicking Horse’s high velocity, Matrix

has recommended a free board of one metre. Priority locations for improvement include the dykes by the campground and the section behind the Col-

lege of the Rockies, which is a particular concern as a high velocity region and due to debris from the islands in that section of the Kicking Horse River.

Lions raffle winner Johnston competes in Toronto Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

Golden’s Robin Johnston didn’t win the top prize at the Miss Universe Canada pageant but she couldn’t be happier with the adventure. “The overall experience has been really positive. I’m really glad I did this,” she said. After months of photo shoots, fundraiser planning and other preparations, Johnston flew to Toronto a few weeks ago for the final lead up toward the pageant itself. “My experience in Toronto was incredible. It’s such a great city and everyone involved in the pageant was so kind. The pageant had us busy from day to night with rehearsals, photo shoots, videos, public appearances, and lunches and dinners at some of Toronto’s finest restaurants,” she said. Despite all of the eyeballs focused on her during the pageant itself, and having to perform two separate dances, Johnston managed to keep her composure. “The only time I felt nervous was about an hour before the preliminary show. My lips were trembling and I felt like I forgot all my choreography. All that nervousness went away once I was on stage,” she said.

Johnston competed in the 2014 Miss Universe Canada pageant. Photo Submitted/Allumski.com Johnston recognizes that Golden had a lot to do with making her pageant experience what it was. “The support from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. Golden is such a wonderful place and I’m so proud of my hometown. All of my sponsors really made it possible for me to have this life changing experience,” she said. With the experience of the pageant now behind her, Johnston hopes to finally be able to relax. “I really need to catch up on sleep,” she said.

Teacher Strike

A very special presentation took place at the Golden Youth Centre last week. For those of you who didn’t make it, the presentation was a showcase of some of the work done by Golden Secondary School students about what they learned in their Planning 10 class. As a special part of that - I SURMISE class this year, the ComBy Jessica Schwitek munity Co-ordination for Safety in Relationships (made up of members from multiple community groups), went to the class to discuss a variety of topics surrounding healthy relationships, sexual assault and consent. During the presentations, it was noted that this special project came to be because a 2012 Gender Based Analysis clearly demonstrated that healthy relationship training for youth was needed in our community. I was a little surprised to hear that at such a young age, these students are already in need of healthy relationship training, so I took a look at the study (published at www.goldenwomencentre.ca). Some of the results were unsettling to say the least. The study surveyed 213 children ages 10-19 (which is roughly 50 per cent of Golden youth). Each was presented with scenarios that reflect behaviours that might illustrate the presence of more serious violence, or can lead to gendered violence. They were asked how often they witnessed these kinds of behaviours. There are too many to outline all the results in the column, but there were a few that stood out to be as particularly alarming. Sixty per cent of females, and 48 per cent of males say they often/sometimes witness someone getting “seriously depressed” about things being said online. More than half of Golden students commonly see someone get, not just bothered by, but seriously depressed over something said on Facebook. The highest numbers came when the study inquired about homophobia. When asked if they often/sometimes say a group of people taunting someone, calling them gay (whether he or she is or not), 59 per cent of males and 74 per cent of females said yes. But the most disturbing statistic showed that 24 per cent of males and 42 per cent of females often/ sometimes see a girl get pressured into sex at a party. That is a scary number. These statistics clearly show that youth need the tools to recognize healthy and unhealthy behaviour in relationships. And the presentations at the Youth Media Showcase show that the education is working. Kristy Archer, the CCSR project co-ordinator said at the showcase that they will continue the program, as long as funding can be secured. I hope for the sake of the entire community that it does.

To the editor, The government actions shows they are not supporting a well balanced school education in B.C. Do you ever wonder why our B.C. premier and other ministers send their children to private schools? Of course they believe the quality of the public school is too low. Thus one wonders, is there a hidden project to kill the quality of school education funds?

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 The Golden Star

When I listen to Peter Fassbender, Minister Of Education, he tells us: “taxpayers do not want to pay for education.” I say he surely did not ask me. I gladly pay for school education and teacher’s class composition rather than paying for bonuses for civil servants and politicians. How is it possible that a liberal platform of Pierre Trudeau’s concept of a better education and bilingualism is not followed in B.C.? Where are the journalists of today to challenge the lack of

Land Reserve Editor, The Agricultural Land Reserve created in the early 1970s, was developed for the obvious reason of preserving precious farmland. It was too easy for the developers of the day to snatch up under- or semi-developed arable land for urban sprawl. It started to happen at an alarming rate, so it was needed and instituted by the government of the day. The ALR has become a real success story in protecting our ranges to produce dairy products, and our arable lands for fibre food source. Except for the odd political diva trying to corruptly swindle the odd piece to pad their personal pension plans, it has worked relatively well.

charismatic future of this province for a skilled, intelligent population? Only quality of school education can bring a population of hardworking, highly motivated labourers and intelligence into this province. Who can give this massage to the premier and to the minister of education? Please get involved regardless of your age. Irmgard Thiessen, Kelowna

Now the current provincial agricultural minister has conspired with B.C.’s oil and gas sector to divide the ALR into two separate zones with different processes. Though the oil and gas sector decisions are backed by the federal government, this compromise by the B.C. Liberals guarantees the oil and gas sector access to any land in the province. So now we’re back conspiring to swindling land out of the ALR. Though energy is, without a doubt, a most important issue, we can’t eat it. Let’s just leave the ALR alone. It’s a government policy that works, and if it’s not broken, there’s no need to fix it. Stop Bill 24. Art Green, Hope

“Yes, I think based on people I’ve talked to that most stop on the highway and keep going.”

“Sure, I usually check out the town when I’m passing through but it could make more people do the same.”

“No, I think there are more pressing, safety related issues in Golden than highway beautification.”

Health Ministry wants you to stay safe while having fun in the sun Ministry of Health Submitted Savour the memories and have fun this summer with a few helpful tips on sun safety for Sun Awareness Week, June 2-8. “We want families to be active and enjoy everything our province has to offer,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “However, when you’re swimming or playing soccer, it’s important to remember that the sunshine you’re enjoying can be quite harmful, and parents should make sure that they’re taking steps to protect themselves and their

children.” If you’re out in the afternoon hiking, biking or camping, be aware that the harmful rays of the sun are at their worst between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and protect your family accordingly. Wear sunscreen, protective gear, including a hat, and limit your exposure to the sun. Dermatologists strongly recommend a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection and a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Use a lip balm with SPF 30 as well. Remember, a tan is still skin damage and the same as a sunburn.

“While many people think that a tan looks good, it is really a sign that the skin is trying to protect itself from the ever stronger UV rays that come with summer, rays that cause aging of the skin, premature wrinkling and skin cancers,” said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “I recommend covering up and using sunscreen to protect the skin.” When the weather heats up and families are out enjoying picnics or barbecues, exposure to direct sun and hot temperatures can cause dehydration and illness. Staying in the shade during the hottest hours of the day and drink-

ing lots of water will help prevent heat exhaustion. While the warm summer sun may feel good on your skin, it’s particularly important for children and babies to be protected because skin can burn in only 15 minutes, depending on the UV index. In B.C., melanoma incidence rates have been increasing annually, up 1.3 per cent for men and 2.2 per cent for women.

The issue on people’s minds is the government’s plan for the privatization of our public lands. The government intends to convert replaceable forest licences into tree farm licences (TFL) which will effectively grant private corporations long-term, exclusive rights to publiclyowned timber. As the critic for Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, people are including me in their communications with the Minister of Forests telling him that they strongly oppose this move. And the government cannot provide a shred of evidence that any public good will come from the change. The Minister of Forests likes to say that there is proof of benefit, and he likes to say that he is acting on the recommendation of the Timber Supply Committee. But both

of these statements are categorically untrue. A Freedom of Information request for any ministry documents that stated any public benefits from this TFL rollover scheme turned up nothing. The ministry doesn’t have a single piece of paper that states there is any public good. And as the Deputy Chair of the Timber Supply Committee I know exactly what the committee recommended. And our recommendations in no way align with what this government is proposing. Over the last week, I have received more than 1200 emails from British Columbians saying no to TFL rollovers. And the emails keep coming in. But I’m not just hearing from British Columbians. I’m hearing from people from all over the world. And that is where the larger issue comes in. The path the B.C. government is taking us down could

The 2013-2014 school year is quickly drawing to a close and the staff and students at Nicholson School are busy with year-end activities. The Grade 6/7 class had a wonderful trip to Victoria where they sat in on Parliament, experienced China Town, and took in museums and other sights. For many of the students this was their first trip to Victoria and one they will treasure for a life time. On May 9, the Kindergarten students pampered their mothers with a Mother’s Day Tea. Friday, May 23 the Parent’s Association held their annual Spring Fling event. It was a huge success with a wonderful turn out by the community. The children enjoyed horseback rides, various games and a barbecue. The Nicky Bopper’s skipping group performed for all in the school

gym and did a wonderful job showing everyone the skills they have learned this year. The Grade 4/5 class and the Grade 1/2 class took part in a fire safety presentation and activities by forest fighters from Revelstoke. It was a great learning experience and very interactive. Smoky the Bear even showed up for the event. Before the year ends the students will partake in swimming, a bike rodeo and year end activities including the Grade 7 farewell. We thank the Grade 7 class for a great year and for being wonderful role models for the younger students at our school. We wish them the best of luck as they head off to high school next year. Thank you to the wonderful school staff and community for making my first year at Nicholson an exciting and memorable one. It has truly flown by and I am looking forward to a fabulous 2014-2015 school year. Have a wonderful summer to all the school community.

Fire season mild so far this year Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The rainy spring B.C. and the Kootenays have been having has resulted in fewer fires than normal at this point in the season. Since April 1, the Southeast Fire Centre (which includes Golden) has responded to a

total of 15 fires, which have burned a total of 35 hectares. The five-year average for the centre at this time of year is 17 fires burning 112 hectares. Last year by this date 166 hectares had burned, and the year before, 266 hectares. The season outlook is also looking good, as slightly high-

er than normal snowpack levels are helping to prevent lightning fires at higher elevations at this time. Conditions may become dryer by the end of June. Fire weather is primarily affected by temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and wind speed.

New gas station owner excited to get involved in the community

Bobby Lee and his wife Chloe Cho too over as the new owners of the gas staJoel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net As gas hits its summer prices, Goldenites will have a new place with which to fuel up

Both Lee and Cho are from South Korea originally and Lee moved to Vancouver (where his sister was already living) in 2006 to study at BCIT. “I liked Canada so

After moving around to Cranbrook and then Saskatchewan, the couple heard about the Gas Plus opportunity in Golden and were easily drawn to the area, while seeing potential in the gas station and its location. “I was really impressed with the people,” Lee said. “Everyone is really friendly in Golden and the mountains are great.” Sherri MacDonald manages the couple’s apartment building and they remain grateful to her for all the work she did when helping them find a place. Changes are already underway at the station and its convenience store with new products coming in all the time and the start of a loyalty program for repeat customers. With that pro-

Black bears have already been spotted along side Highway 1 in the parks. Parks Canada Photo

Drive carefully through parks Parks Canada Submitted It’s that time of year again in Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks. Fresh spring vegetation is attracting animals such as bears and goats to the side of the Trans-Canada Highway where they are vulnerable to being hit by motor vehicles. “We have already lost two black bears this week,” says Tawnya Hewitt, Parks Canada Wildlife Specialist, “we are asking motorists to drive cautiously and respect speed limits, especially around blind corners.” Bears have been busy at the roadside. This season, Parks Canada staff observed a black bear at the base of Mount Revelstoke and two

adult grizzlies grazing at different roadside locations in Glacier – one was a female with two cubs. Parks Canada does not encourage people to stop to view wildlife at this busy time. However, if you do choose to stop, pull onto the highway shoulder when it is safe to do so, remain in your vehicle and move on after a few moments. Never stop in the middle of the road, close to a hill, curve, tunnel, or in heavy traffic. Vehicles stopping on the side of the highway to view wildlife can create traffic jams which are dangerous to both people and wildlife. Please pay special attention when driving and watch for wildlife. If you see a bear or other wildlife or traffic jam please report it to Parks Canada at 1-877-852-3100.

From just

A very unique collection of photographs, taken from the private collection of one of Golden’s most legendary residents, is on display at the Art Gallery of Golden. There are only two weeks left to see this very special collection. Mountain Memories features the photographs of Syd Feuz, who was born in Golden on Feb. 4, 1922 to parents Edward Feuz Jr. and Martha. Edward was the second generation of Swiss Mountain Guides to come to Canada and work for CPR guiding tourists through the mountains. He decided to make Canada his permanent home (unlike his father Edward Sr. who always travelled back to Switzerland at the end of the season), and raised his family in Golden. This resulted in Syd Feuz being the first ever Canadian born mountain guide. As a boy, Syd was keen to learn about mountain adventure from his father and uncles. He had the benefit of their experience in Switzerland, and in Canada. As fewer tourists came through via rail (when Highway 1 became the preferred means of travel), CPR no longer had use for the Swiss Mountain Guides. So Syd continued his career in mountain adventure and began working as a heli-ski guide. Through his passion for

Restaurant art show brings images and words together Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Through collaboration some artists find their truest expression. Two very different artists, one who uses a camera and one who expresses herself with words, have combined their abilities to create a truly unique experience. Local photographer Amy Barrett has taken her photos, which showcase the Columbia Valley and all the beautiful nature and wildlife that can be found here, and combined them with the inspirational words of writer Kim Clark. The pair will be exhibiting their work at the Cedar House Restaurant, on June 14. “Most of the pictures in this show have been taken in our valley from the birds and bees to the flowers and the trees. It has been years of shooting, compiling and sorting to conjure enough pieces to decorate a restaurant,” said Barrett. “I love working with other artists it is such a pleasure to share creative vision. The collaborating is fun and we are just starting to touch on the possibilities of words, pictures and food.” Barrett was thrilled to be collaborating with Clark, who found her creative voice after some personal hardships. Already dealing with an ill husband, a struggling marriage, and raising four kids, Clark was diagnosed with progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She decided to go back to school, pursuing a BA in creative writing. Since then she has made a name for herself as a respected poet and author. Lens and Pen: An Evening of Fine Arts on June 14 is the fusion of these two women’s creativity.

Mail order catalogue takes Palumbo down memory lane

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

The simplest things can be responsible for me taking a trip down memory lane. I recently picked up the Sears spring catalogue, and it might be irrational but I can’t help the feeling of excitement I get each time

I pick up a new catalogue. What’s more is that I know that I’m not alone. I see people coming out of the post office with their catalogue cards clutched tightly in their hands. This excitement probably goes back to a time when we only went to town about twice a month, except of course if you had to ride the bus in for school. Evening getting into town twice a month, the selection once you arrived was pretty limited in a small town, although I would like to say I

The picture shows South Golden taken about 1905 showing McDermots Store. Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum think that the merchants of Golden have always tried hard to accommodate the needs of the community. The catalogues from Simpson Sears, T. Eaton Co and Woodwards allowed us to shop in the comfort of our homes, anytime! For two or three weeks after the catalogue came in it was passed from one set of hands to the next, each of us dreaming of the new articles that we wanted. It was a very peaceful time really, not at all like the hustle and bustle of shopping today. You didn’t have to dress up to shop this way or look for a sitter to watch the children because they were in your lap eagerly encouraging you to turn the next page. You sat patiently with

them, turning the pages and then started fresh from the front once they were asleep. It never mattered that they whole book was in black and white or that in later years when the colours that we re produced were of really poor quality. You put your imagination to use – and it didn’t hurt that your colour selections were limited. Most things came in navy, red, green and white. With your choices made, you filled out the attached order form enclosed it in the envelope with a mail order and sent it by mail. And then you waited Two to three weeks sometimes. The day the parcel arrived at the post office was one of excitement and I would dare to say

that very few parcels made it all the way home before they were opened and inspected. I just went into the archives and found an Eaton’s catalogue from 1957-1958, and I’m still impressed by the selection that they had. From this catalogue you could buy everything you needed to build a house, from the concrete to the roofing. And the roofing was $4.15 for an eight foot sheet, 36 inches wide. You could furnish this house from the catalogue, including kitchen cupboards, table and chairs, side tables, living room and bedroom suites, curtains and lamps. Trappers and hunters could find everything from a rifle (308 Savage as $110.75) to camp

boxes, sleeping bags, traps, shells and grounds sheets, clothing, knives and packs. You could boy all your cosmetics, hair colours, and perms, vitamins and even diet pills, stationary and school supplies Christmas and all occasion cars, wedding supplies, pianos and accordions, and even a couple of pages of toys. My personal favorite was the remnant bundle that could be purchased in 10 yard lots, for about $3,89 per bundle delivered. It was very exciting to pick out the piece of material and then wait while mom turned it into something wonderful that no one else had. As we look around at the number of stores and malls

opening every year, its easy to understand why the catalogue companies who were the mainstay for rural shoppers for so many years, can no longer make a go of it. It’s unfortunate because not all people are able to, or even want to, push their way through crowded stores, and then stand in long lines at the check outs. Today most catalogue companies have their products online on internet but its just not the same as sitting down with the old rateared catalogue with its pages folded over and items circled. If you are interested in taking a trip down memory lane pick up a mail order catalogue or drop by the museum and look through a vintage one.

Golden Moments: Fishing remains John Shapperd’s biggest passion Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net

The fish haven’t always been biting, but in the end John Shapperd made Golden work for both himself and his family. Shapperd, an avid fisherman since his youth, grew up in the United Kingdom and moved to Canada when he took a job for Hudson’s Bay Northern Stores. Shapperd bounced around from Fort Smith to Yellowknife (where he met his wife Penny) to Hazelton and Port Hardy, among other locales. After 17 years he quit The Bay and moved to Golden. “I came to Golden in 1983 with my tent trailer, braving the mosquitoes at the (municipal) campground and left my family in Port Hardy while I got things sorted out,” Shapperd said. Shapperd bought the Macleods franchise hardware store in town, a purchase that became a burden a little while later when the Macleods chain went under. The loss of Macleods meant the loss of the majority of the store’s inventory. The future of the store looked bleak. “The first night (after the closure) I couldn’t come in the store I just looked in the windows and my heart sank,” he said. “I think what happens is your psyche or something takes over overnight and by the next morning you think there’s

only one thing that can happen to this store. It can go up. We more than doubled the sales in the next year just through hard work.” Eventually, the Shapperds got TruValue, an American company, to finance their store and the business recovered further. The store has since changed its name once again and now receives its inventory from Tru-Serv Canada out of Winnipeg. Golden has always meant a lot to Shapperd, but there was perhaps no time when the community meant more to him than when he had health problems a few years ago. “That’s really when everybody rallied around me,” he said. “My wife, the staff, good friends.” Shapperd is now in good health and continues to work at his store at least five times a week, more often than not calling his customers by name as they browse the aisles and ask for help. When he can get away from work, a lot of his time is spent on the lakes and rivers of the Columbia Valley doing what he loves, fishing. He got his start with fishing when he inherited some equipment from his grandparents and begged his parents to take him. “I didn’t know the first thing about it but I caught my first trout using a fly rod but on a maggot,” Shapperd said, cringing at the thought of his rookie mistake. “Sacrilege.” In fact, the fishing section at Tru-

StarCROSSWORD

John Shapperd’s knowledge and expertise with fishing gear has led that to become one of Tru-Hardware’s biggest sections. Joel Tansey/Star Photo Hardware remains one of its most popular, and Shappa\erd sometimes gets calls from all over Western Canada asking for tips and advice. He has taught fishing lessons in the past and hopes to continue that once he retires

from Tru-Hardware (the store has been for sale for a few years now.) Should a sale happen, the Shappards have no inklings of leaving Golden. For John, it’ll simply mean he’ll be spending more time on the water.

Cycling Club volunteers have trails ready for the biking season Golden Cycling Club Submitted May has been a busy month for the Golden Cycling Club. First, the local trails were opened and cleared of their winter debris. With over 100 km of trail spread throughout four trail systems, it can be a challenge to stay ahead of local cyclists. At the same time, GCC kick started the cycling season with a series of projects aimed at promoting cycling. Golden has been gaining recognition as a cycling destination in recent years – last year the Club recorded 12,000 users on the CBT Mainline trail – and the community will be hosting two large race events in July. Recognizing that trails are the foundation of its success, the Club has focused on trail development and improvement, and 2014 continues that process. Early in May, two volunteer days were organized and the Sternwheeler Trail was completed. This trail links Nicholson to the southern Moonrakers and Canyon Creek trails and represents the culmination of four years of negotiations and effort to replace the old Sander Lake trailhead. Local landowners, Jim Gudjonson and Nicole Bauche, generously allowed development of a trailhead on their property and the Golden Cycling Club followed up with over 500 hours of volunteer labour in order to establish the trail. Also in May, GCC secured a $15,000 contract with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) to complete and enhance the LSD trail. Essentially an extension of the Canyon Creek trail, this trail will further diversify our trails by offering a technically challenging descent along the Terminator Ridge. GCC has also started construction of a fifth trail network. Located to the north of the Moonrakers, the new trail network is expected to take three years to complete and will add another 20 km of trail. While much of the Club’s work relies on various funding agencies such as the MFLNRO, Columbia Basin Trust, the Resort Municipality Initiative and others, it is often the assistance from local corporate citizens that makes the

John, Kristy and Freya Denham and friends celebrate the opening of the new Mighty Quinn trail. Photo Submitted projects possible. Alpine Helicopters has never turned down a request from the Club to lift materials into difficult sites, and this year they offered GCC $10,000 worth of helicopter time. In conjunction with their pilot training they slung multiple lifts to eight sites. Many of these lifts were comprised of rough sawn fir boards supplied by Canadian Timberframes. This was the second year in a row that CTF has donated over $5,000 worth of decking material for the bridges and boardwalks being built by GCC. GCC celebrated the construction of its first machine-built trail, the Mighty Quinn, on May 17 with a ride and lunch. Local contractor, Starr Trail Solutions, completed last year as part of the Mainline Completion Project and the trail has attracted considerable attention for its large rollers and berms. More importantly, the trail honours the memory of John and Kristy Denham’s son Quinn and the event was made special by the attendance of John and Kristy’s

new daughter Freya. The Club has also endeavored to promote cycling through workshops and group rides. In 2013, club director Andy Bostock initiated his ‘Wednesday Wobbles’. Part social, part instruction, these rides provide a low stress learning experience and Andy is leading the rides again this year. Also this year, local certified instructor Mel Webber is offering women a similar learning experience with her ‘Tuesdays with Betty’ rides. On May 27 the first girls’ ride started at 6:30 from Reflection Lake. This weekly ride is open to female riders of any level with rides lasting around two hours, focusing on one aspect of riding, but also just ripping through the trails. The inaugural ride ended at Riverhouse tavern in time for Taco Tuesday and a pint. Meeting places for either of these group rides often vary but club membership entitles you to advanced

knowledge. The last weekend of May saw 21 women attend the first GCC Women's Mountain Biking Workshop organized by Mel, with assistance from David Gagnon and Andy Bostock. Friday evening participants learned about bikes, how to maintain them and how to optimize the fit. Saturday, three groups took to the trails to learn and practice riding skills to improve technical climbing, enhance confidence and bike handling and to flow through switch backs on the way up and down. Mel puts out a “big thank you to the instructors for volunteering their time and experience, and to the participants for making this happen”. Thank you as well to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort for the first aid kits (which remained unused). From the workshop, $500.00 was donated to the GCC to help maintain and grow our mountain biking community.
