Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time in the Columbia Wetlands could confirm that it’s an environment that is full of a wide variety of bird species. From the majestic trumpeter swan to the tiny bufflehead, the valley’s waters are a hub of activity throughout the spring, summer and fall, especially among water birds. But just how many birds flock to these waters is mostly a mystery. Wildsight and a team of volunteers are hoping to change that, starting with a coordinated survey this sprin. According to the project’s manager Rachel Darvill, there are two principal purposes of the survey, which will take five years if all goes according to plan: one being the establishment
of a large-scale citizenscience initiative in the area, and the other to accumulate baseline data on the birds in the area. “Those types of (citizen-science) opportunities are very limited for the entire Columbia Basin. It’s really important to up those opportunities so that people can become more connected to nature-based landscapes…It’s hard to know why it’s important to conserve an area unless you become more connected to it,” Darvill explained. One of the important benefits of accumulating data is the potential to get the Columbia Wetlands certified as an Important Bird Area (IBA), an application that was previously unsuccessful because of a lack of recent data. “If we were able to obtain that it would give us the recognition that

(the Columbia Wetlands) are one of the most important places on the continent for birds and for their conservation…it would be a significant conservation tool,” Darvill said. Criteria to be named an IBA is to meet a one per cent threshold of the continental or global number of a species. “For instance, if we’re able to see approximately 340 trumpeter swans on any single day’s count…then that would trigger an Important Bird Area status. Each species has its own threshold to trigger that IBA,” Darvill explained. In addition to waterbirds, Darvill is hoping to gain more information about the Lewis’s woodpecker, a threatened species with a few hundred mating pairs remaining in the southern interior of B.C. “If we’re able to see even eight of these individuals on any single one day count then that will trigger the Important Bird Area status as well,” Darvill added. Surveys will be conducted at 50 sites from Canal Flats to Donald, with volunteers count-

Darvill has been overwhelmed with the enthusiastic response she has received from locals, many of whom have eagerly volunteered their time to participate. “It was really challenging to know how many people were going to want to participate in this and we’ve had an overwhelming response for the number of people who want to participate…we’re full for this year and I’ve had to turn a couple of people down…it just seems like

Chamber AGM on Apr. 30 Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual general meeting later this month and Walter Bramsleven, a member of the Chamber’s board of directors, revealed a few items that will be on the agenda this year. The meeting will include a key note speech from Brian Hawrysh, the CEO of B.C. Wood, a non-profit that helps promote B.C. wood products. “We’re excited to see him come here and explain what B.C. Wood does and can do for members of their organization,” Bramsleven said. “Members of their organization range anywhere from the one-man operations to companies the size of Louisiana Pacific…what they do internationally for secondary wood manufacturers in B.C. can’t be overstated.” The meeting comes just weeks after the Chamber decided to cancel its annual spring home show due to a lack of participants. Bramsleven believes that the time of year could have been a factor in the low number of vendors who signed up for the show. “It had been moderately successful before, there was just a lack of participation this year. We suspect that part of that is the timing of the year… everyone seems to be busy getting other things ramped up…it’s also when some people tend to take off for holidays and head south,” Bramslaven explained. With that in mind, the Chamber is exploring the possibility of hosting a home show in the fall, but that potential idea won’t be finalized until a later date. Locals who frequent Golden’s downtown during the summer will recall the Chamber’s buskers that were hired last year to help increase the vibrancy in the area. Bramsleven says that the initiative hasn’t been discussed as of yet but could still be in place this year. “This is a very arts and culture community and that would do nothing but enhance the flavour that we have in Golden…from what I understand it’s been very successful and well received…we want to make sure that everybody’s happy (with it) and if so we’d certainly move forward to try and do that again,” Bramslaven said. The AGM will take place on Apr. 30. All members of the community are welcome to attend. The Chamber is also looking to fill multiple spots on its board of directors and is seeking new candidates.

Three-year funding for sports in Basin through ViaSport and CBT Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net People engaged in sport and physical activity in the Columbia Basin can look forward to improved support through the newly formed PacificSport Columbia Basin Society. Columbia Basin Trust and ViaSport are providing $800,000 and $300,000 respectively toward this initiative over the next three years. The society’s primary goals are to promote sport and physical activity in the Basin; provide services and programs for local athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers; and promote health by encouraging and helping the public to participate in physical activities. “The Trust has been working on this since May 2013 to determine how we can best support sport and physical activity in the Basin,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “We’re pleased to partner with ViaSport to establish the PacificSport Columbia Basin Society. It will draw on the
expertise of the broader provincial alliance to advance local priorities.” Still in its formative stages, the society will work with Basin communities and organizations, as well as access the broader provincial alliance of sports organizations that serves as a resource hub to educate, inspire and enable residents to participate, play and perform, no matter their activity or level of expertise. Learn more about ViaSport at viasport.ca. Working on the ground to develop sports and physical activity in the Basin, many Basin residents have been integral to this process: “Being part of this network will help bring the Kootenays to a more equal playing field with the rest of the province, improve sport and physical activity opportunities for all residents, encourage regular physical activity and physical literacy and improve residents’ health and wellness levels,” said Sandi Lavery, new Board member.
“The new Pacific Sport Columbia Basin society presents a significant opportunity for all residents in the basin. Guided by the framework of Pacific Sport we will have the ability to provide countless recreation groups with enhanced networking and tools to help take the services they provide to a new level,” said Jordan Petrovics, board member of Pacific Sport Columbia Basin. “It is exciting to be a part of implementing Pacific Sport incentives into the basin. Pacific Sport offers an impressive ‘tool kit’ that has a proven track record in other parts of the province. Focusing on specifics like coaching education, ensuring everyone access to active opportunities and inter community networking are all exciting initiatives that Pacific Sport Columbia Basin will be able to offer to the region. “Basin residents can continue offering quality recreation programs and services while contributing to the goal of making our region full of people who are active for life.”

All approvals were passed unanimously with little discussion. Coun. Caleb Moss took that moment to commend staff on the hard work they put into finding "creative approaches" to help move development forward through a slew of regulations set by all levels of government. "We're trying to change a corporate culture to something that can be viewed as 'open for business,'" said Moss. "I think that in all the variances that have come forward to council over the years, almost 100 per cent of them
have been granted, which means that staff work hard to present something that is logical to council… So regardless of the frustration that developers run into, I'd like to point out that it is commendable that these eventually go through." The developers and many of their construction partners were in the gallery that night, as were several members of the community. Manager of the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce Ruth Hamilton commented at the end of the meeting, "I thrilled to see this all go through. It's going to be great for our downtown core."

Look Ahead! Look Waaaay Ahead!
Imagine making a lane change and crashing into a fully marked police vehicle stopped at the side of the highway with all of its emergency lights operating. I can only guess that the driver was not properly scanning his environment and looking far enough ahead to anticipate issues before they happen. It might also be time to consider offsetting the police vehicle to the right rather than the left when working on the freeway. Driving safely requires more than watching the vehicle ahead of you and making sure that there is more than a meter or two between vehicles in front and behind when you change into another lane as the driver in this crash found out. At freeway speeds of 120 km/h you are moving at over 33 m/s. A reasonable buffer of 4 seconds is 132 m. Add 80 m stopping distance on level dry road and you should be looking well over the length of a city block ahead at minimum. I was trained to offset my police vehicle to the left of the violator’s vehicle by about half its width to provide a pocket of protection as I approached the driver’s door. This often left part of the vehicle in the highway lane. I later learned on my own to pull as far to the right as possible and do a passenger side approach to stay out of traffic. Even then I didn’t feel safe, slow down, move over law or not! Our highways can be very dangerous places as there are an average of 282 fatal crashes on them each year. Planning and scanning well ahead can give you the notice you need to avoid a crash. Staying as far out of the travelled lanes as possible when you have to stop is a must as warnings may not protect you.

president, in a statement. “In Jason Stephens we have hired a very successful and widely respected coach.” Stephens brings a varied resume with him to the job in Golden that includes extensive work as a scout at the WHL and NHL levels and coaching experience at a variety of levels, including on the world stage as Canada’s national inline hockey head coach. The Red Deer native is excited about the opportunity. “Curt has a great vision of what he wants to see in Golden and he’s got some really good ideas moving forward. He and I were very much on the same page when I sat down and met with him,” Stephens said. As far as coaching style is concerned, Stephens says he is
a very cerebral presence behind the bench who prefers his teams to play a very structured, technically sound game, especially in the defensive zone. “On-ice you’re going to find that I’m a very Xs and Os coach…I believe in having offensive creativity, guys need to be able to put the puck in the net and generally offence comes from creativity. When it comes to defence, the defence has to be very structured.” Analytics and deeper statistical analysis have taken over the game at all levels over the last few years and it’s fair to say that Stephens is among those who have bought in, believing so-called ‘advanced stats’ can provide a unique insight into the game. “To say the very least, I’m a big video and stats guy.
Advanced statistics is something that I’ve delved into the last few years and I really enjoy them. I really think they can tell you a few things about the game and about players,” Stephens said. “You have to use all the tools available to you as a coach to succeed.” The transition period between Davidson - who will coach the Sicamous Eagles next season - and Stephens, led to some difficulty in recruiting enough players for the team’s planned spring camp. That camp has been pushed back to June and relocated to Cochrane Alb., giving Stephens plenty of time to bring in more prospective players. As far as last year’s roster is concerned, it is still too early for him to know who might be returning, but he says he plans to reach out to last year’s group very

Of course, onice success is just as
important, something that Stephens hopes to bring as well. “The program’s been around for a long time in Golden and they’ve had some success and some failures…(the goal) is to produce a team that’s competitive and has a chance to win every night.”

area to learn about Highway 1 Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net
Highway 1 between Revelstoke and Golden has been getting a lot of attention for the dangers it poses, but still isn’t getting the funding it needs in the provincial transportation plan. NDP Transportation Critic Claire Trevena toured the section of highway to better understand the needs of the residents in the area. “I’m here very much to listen to you,” she said during a meeting with community members and local MLA Norm Macdonald. The two also appeared before council on the same visit. The Province has been making promises to fix the highway for years now, and although Trevena says that’s admirable, it’s not good enough. They have made commitments to four-lane Highway 1 from Kamloops to the Alberta border, but until those dollars are seen in the budget, no one knows when it will really happen. “I applaud that commitment, but I can’t see it happening very fast, especially without a funding commitment.” Macdonald has been advocating for proper funding for the highway for years, and he encourages local government and any other local organization to do so as well. “It’s like a teeter-totter. You never know what that one little thing will be that tips it over,” he said. “At the end of the day it is people making decisions. And sometimes it’s the most unexpected thing that can change someone’s mind. And quite often, we never end up knowing what that thing is.” With a death rate being as high as it has been on the Rogers’ Pass, and still seeing little action being taken, Trevena says the sad truth is that economics may play a larger role in the government’s decision than safety will. Stressing the economic impact that highway closures have for the whole province may make the strongest case she says.

RCMP Report: Vehicles impounded for speed Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net Vehicles impounded for speeding Two Alberta residents had their vehicles impounded after police allege that the drivers were speeding excessively on April 6. “Police were conducting RADAR enforcement on Highway 1 at the top of Golden Hill, when two eastbound vehicles were stopped for travelling at 120km/h and 106km/h in the 60km/h zone,” says Cst. Spencer Lainchbury with the Golden-Field RCMP. “Under the Motor Vehicle Act both drivers were issued Violation Tickets for $368 and had their vehicles impounded for 7 days.” Police issued around a dozen other speeding tickets on the long weekend Monday, with all tickets being issued for vehicles travelling more than 90km/h in the same zone. Collisions with wildlife Police responded to two separate collisions involving deer this week. The first incident occurred during the early morning hours of April 7, and the second incident occurred the next day on Lafontaine Road. Neither drivers were injured, however the vehicle involved in the first incident sustained extensive damage. Missing items from trailer park Several items including firewood and construction sawhorses went missing out of yards at a trailer park around April 7. “We believe that these items going missing are in relation to a group of males that squatting behind the trailer park,” stated Cst. Lainchbury. Police also responded to reports that there were three males living behind the trailer park on 12th St. N. around the same time. Anyone with information regarding any of these items going missing is asked to call the Golden RCMP at 250-344-2221 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Single vehicle MVI at Beaver Valley Police were called to a single vehicle collision on Highway 1 at the Beaver Valley snow shed during the early morning of April 8. Upon attending police determined that the single vehicle had struck the retaining wall of the snow shed after the driver alleged being blinded by the headlights of an oncoming tractor trailer. There were no injuries to either the driver, a 21 year-old male from Surrey, or passenger a 20 year-old from Kamloops. Vending machine theft An unknown amount of money was stolen out of a vending machine at the Days Inn hotel on Golden View Road. Police were called on April 8 when staff noticed that the exterior lock on the machine had been drilled open to access the coin box. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between April 4 and April 7. Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact the Golden RCMP or Crimestoppers. Greyhound dispute
Police were called to the Greyhound bus station on April 8 after a male passenger, who had been kicked off the bus, refused to allow the bus to leave by standing in front of it. “When police arrived the male was also in the process of calling police to lay a complaint against the bus driver,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The dispute appears to stem after the passenger got upset when the driver asked the male to speak English. Arrangements were made for the male and a friend to find alternate transportation home to Calgary. No charges will be laid in relation to the dispute. Trespassing youths During the early morning hours of April 9, police were called after a male woke up to two youths standing in his yard. “The male woke up when his dog started barking,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “When he looked outside he saw what he describes as two youth males standing in his yard.” Police made immediate patrols of the area where the complainant last saw the two; however they were not able to locate them. Anyone with information regarding this occurrence is asked to call the Golden RCMP or Crimestoppers. Stolen truck from local business Police are investigating after a truck was stolen out of the yard of a business on 7th Avenue sometime between April 8 and April 9. “The vehicle was then located later in the week by the owner near the three pole party place, just near Mount 7 road,” stated Cst. Lainchbury. “We are currently waiting for members with our Forensic Identification Services unit to process the vehicle for forensic evidence.” In the meantime police are asking for anyone with information regarding this incident to contact them or Crimestoppers. Female arrested for probation breach The Golden-Field RCMP assisted the CP Police Service this week after two people were located on the train tracks near the Highway 95 overpass. “A member with our traffic services unit saw the two walking on the train tracks, and stopped to speak with them,” said Cst. Lainchbury. After initially lying about her name, police determined that the female was currently on probation with a condition not to be found on railway property at which point the CP Police Service was contacted. The female was arrested and CP Police will be forwarding charges for Breach of Probation. Off road vehicle violation A local resident received a $598 violation ticket for not having proper insurance under the Motor Vehicle Act after police allege he was driving his dirt bike on Fisher Road. Police would also like to take this time to remind owners of Off-road vehicles that as of June 1, 2015 all ORVs operating on Crown land or forest service roads located on Crown land, must have valid registration obtained through an Autoplan Broker. For more information on this you can contact your local Autoplan broker or visit www.icbc.com/vehicle-registration/specialty-vehicles then click Off-road vehicles.
Home Lodge makes Canadian Top 9 travel list Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net
Booking.com, one of the largest online travel sites in the world, has selected a Golden accommodater as one of their top 10 Booking’s Best Awards winners in North America. The Home Lodge, owned by Lynn Moffat, ranked number four out of the 10, nine of which were in Canada. The European-based travel site chose the winners based on guest reviews. “I’m so chapped about this. It’s really an honour,” said Moffat, who also serves as the board president for Tourism Golden. “Golden has such fantastic high standards for accommodation already, I’m just blown away.” The Booking’s Best Awards is an exclusive award that goes to only 260 accommodations out of a possible 600,000 - as decided by over 40 million real, relevant and recent customer reviews. Whether it’s the tastiest breakfast, an off the beaten track stay or just plain value for money, the Booking’s Best Awards recognize that it’s the little things that can make or break a holiday. It’s quite an accolade for the small Blaeberry Lodge with only five rooms. But Moffat says she sees the award as a sign of Golden’s growing status as a world-renowned travel destination.

Wednesday, April 15, 2015 The Golden Star
GAS(P) Editor,
It's been almost a year since we first learned about Golden's new brewery, a business venture that has had all of us eagerly anticipating its completion. Which is why many people may have been left wondering what has been going on for the past 12 months. - I SURMISE Well as it turns out… By Jessica Schwitek a lot. Seven amendments, variances, and exemptions were all passed at the last Town Council meeting, allowing Whitetooth Brewing Company to move forward to the next stage of development. The new facility, located on the corner of 8th Avenue North and 7th Street North, is a massive undertaking, and will be downtown Golden's only new building in the last 25 years or so (the IGA building was apparently the last). On the company's Facebook page they thanked everyone for their patience in the venture, and said they were thrilled to be moving on to the building permit stage. "High-five and props to our Development Permit permit team comprised of architects, brewery consultants, general contractor and civil, structural, geotech, mechanical, electrical, wastewater and brewery engineers. Could not have got this far without them. Thanks to the Town of Golden for supporting our venture," they posted. Some may be surprised to hear them thank the municipality, seeing as there is this perception that they are the significant road block to development. But the fact of the matter is there are laws in place that must be followed, and as much as the Town wants to see business thrive and grow in Golden, the process can sometimes be quite arduous. Last week, when these seven items came forward at council, it became evident just how much work was going on behind the scenes, by both the team at the Whitetooth Brewing Company, as well as the team at the Town of Golden. Every “roadblock” so to speak, was circumvented with what Coun. Caleb Moss referred to as “creative approaches.” In other words, despite some barriers, they found a way to make it happen. This project is a very exciting one for all of us. It has the potential to do great things for this community, for both the locals and tourists to enjoy, and it is great to see that everyone seems to be on board.
It sounds like we are victims yet again of oil company math that always seems to work out in their favour. If we were paying approximately $1.50 per litre when oil was over $100.00 a barrel why are we still paying $1.17 a litre when oil is down to $50.00 a barrel? Crude oil pricing is down 50 per cent yet we see a savings of less than 20 per cent at the pumps? It looks like big oil is actually making way more money with lower crude
prices. They are awfully quick to start laying people off which I assume also adds to their bottom line. Gas prices are 17 cents more than they were when crude was this low in 2009 , they are counting on us not remembering that. On the bright side (sarcasm) we are only 18 cents more a litre than Canmore. I also haven’t noticed the airlines or any other transportation businesses lower their fuel surcharges either.

Bear Awareness and Garbage
Climate Change
To the editor,
Editor:
The bears are back. I have seen two blacks around Nicholson. They are doing their thing. They are avoiding humans and looking for food. Problem #1 This is an opportune time for the Conservation officers and the Bear Aware program to be out and about talking to people about their garbage and BBQ's. Interestingly neither the local conservation phone number nor the Bear Aware # is working right now. What's with that? Problem #2 We already have problem people. They create problem bears. Those people are out there now, enticing the bears into our communities. How hard is it to store garbage indoors on a weekly basis for 6 months of the year? Some people do NOT have space, but there are plenty of people who have storage facilities, but are too lazy to take the extra steps to contain their refuse. They are the problem. The bears are not. At this point, there are NO problem bears. Let's keep it that way. Becky Leonty Golden
Re: last week’s editorial “Climate Change and Tourism” Around 1975 our family camped beside Mummery Creek below Mummery Glacier. While the rest of us picked huckleberries, Enid painted the glacier. The ice clung to a high rocky ledge with a large waterfall gushing out from beneath the glacier on the left side. Recently I watched some videos taken about 30 years later (2005?) from the hiking trail across the valley. The distance the ice had retreated amazed me. The water flowing down over the ledge was the same waterfall falling over the same ledge as in Enid’s painting. But the glacial ice was far back and far diminished, almost hidden behind a tree.

Searching for 25 passionate Kootenay youth for project Wildsight Submitted
Polluted air and drinking water, species extinction, climate change. These are the terms that make headlines daily in BC. For youth in the Kootenay region, these terms are the rallying cry for their generation; the call to action. This summer, the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society’s BC Chapter (CPAWS-BC) will build the capacity of 25 youth from the Kootenays. Take Back the Wild will provide free, comprehensive training for young people under 30 to become conservation leaders on local environmental issues that matter to them. It will also continue the network of passionate leaders across BC who work together to protect
BC’s wild spaces. There is a generation of young adults who are incredibly passionate about our environment, and this is the opportunity for them to gain the necessary skills to advocate for its protection. The project will kick off in Johnson’s Landing from June 5-7, 2015. After the training weekend, participants will partner with local community groups or start their own local, conservation project. We are looking for young leaders in the Kootenay region to join us for this project. We are accepting applications until May 5. The summit is free to attend, accommodation and food is included. Application forms and more information on the program can be found on our website http://cpawsbc.org/campaigns/take-backthe-wild.
Government urges residents to make a will during Make a Will Week The Government of BC Submitted
As part of Make a Will Week 2015, the Province is zeroing in on the younger generation, and calling for people under the age of 40 to get busy and make their wills now, said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. A provincewide poll conducted for the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. found that 80% of people age 18 to 34 do not have a current and legal will. While people in this age range may think they don’t need a will, the fact is many important life events generally occur during those years. People may build a career, open a business, and purchase major assets such as real estate or property. Many individuals in this age range embark on adventures abroad, get married and start a family. All these events should signal the need for a will. According to the poll, 45% of B.C. adults do not have a current and legal will. The telephone poll also found that 49% of adults age 35 to 54 do not have a will. That figure drops to 17% for people age 55 and over. To encourage British Columbians to create a will or update their existing will, the Province has proclaimed April 6 - 12, 2015, as “Make-a-Will Week.” The revised Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) came into force
March 31, 2014, and lowered the age at which you can make a will from 19 to 16, and simplified the process of making a will. Many people don’t realize that if you die without a will, you are deemed to have died “intestate” (without a will) and your estate will be distributed according to the WESA, not necessarily in accordance with your wishes. If you die without a will there are default rules that are applied to divide money between spouses and children. “Most people are surprised at how easy it is to create a will. For many clients, creating a will brings families closer and creates more certainty and peace of mind for everyone. You never know when you will need a will. It’s never too early to make a will and it’s never too late,” said Akash Sablok, president, Society of Notaries of B.C. For those individuals with an existing will, they should consider revising it every five years or more often if significant changes occur in their life, finances, health or family situation. “No matter what stage of life you find yourself in - you need a will. A will is one of the most important documents you will create in your lifetime. Make a Will Week encourages everyone to sit down with their loved ones and begin that important discussion today,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Life events that may prompt you to write a will or revise
your existing will: * The birth of children * Deaths in the family * A change in family financial circumstances * Marriage or divorce * Purchase of major assets such as real estate or property * Entering or exiting ownership of a business * Before major surgery * Embarking on travel What to consider when creating a will: * Choose an executor wisely as they will be carrying out your final wishes. Make sure they know the location of your will and other important documents.* Arrange for your assets to be distributed to all your beneficiaries in a way that will maximize tax benefits. * Clearly outline your funeral arrangements. * Consider donating money to a charity or organization. * Appoint someone to be the guardian of your minor children in case you die while they are still under the age of 18. * Decide how to divide your assets between your heirs. If children are involved, include at what age you want them to receive money and who should be the trustee of the money until your children reach that age. * Think about a backup plan in case the people you list in your will have died before you do.

Golden Moments: Deanna Johansen Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Like so many others who make this community their home, Deanna Johansen came to Golden planning to stay for a year or so to work. Fifty years later, she is still here. She was living in Alberta in 1965 when her sister, who was working at the hospital in Golden, told her that nurses were needed in town. “I thought I’d be here for a year, well you see how that worked out,” she laughed. Working at the hospital back in those days was quite different than it is today. Nurses were expected to work wherever they were needed in a small facility. “In a small hospital you do everything. Geriatrics, pediatrics, maternity, cardiac care, surgery, whatever. I scrubbed in on operations when I first got here,” said Johansen. “It was pretty good. We did a lot of stuff that nurses in big city hospitals never get to do.” Johansen was put in the position to deliver babies without a doctor present on multiple occasions, as only nurses were working at night with a doctor on call. “One of the older doctors was a very picky dresser, so it took him a long time to get there. You had to be careful trying to judge when the baby would come, and often it would come without him there,” she said. The hospital has changed a lot since those days, but not necessarily the way you may think. At one point there were 35 beds in the hospital, which Johansen says is partly because patients were kept there for much longer, especially new mothers.
Deanna Johnson spent her career in the Golden Hospital. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo Her career was exciting in Golden, but it was her personal life that motivated her to stay. After being introduced to one of the LPN’s sons, Ray, Johansen got married and started a family here. “The first two years we were married, we moved seven times. Then we finally at the end of those two years we bought the house that we’re still living in now.” The couple had two boys shortly after, and raised them in Golden. Johansen cut back to part time while the boys were young, but still had the occasional long shift or stretch of oncall time. Her record was 90 days straight of being on call at the hospital.
Although caring for patients remained her passion, Johansen moved into a different role as her career went on. She became very involved with the nurse’s union, and even rose to the rank of Regional District Chair. “I was in charge during the strikes of ‘89 and ‘93. That was a fascinating position to be in,” she said. Johansen retired in 2001, but by no means has she slowed down. A life-long learner, she has soaked up every bit of education she could, taking classes like painting, raku, silversmithing, and is currently learning how to write memoirs. “I just love learning new things,” she said.

The Net Result: Boyhood a triumph Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The 2011 Pirates of the Carribbean sequel On Stranger Tides cost an estimated $378 million to produce. Cleopatra, the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton epic cost an estimated $338.94 million in 2015 dollars. For my money, a far more ambitious movie, and maybe the most ambitious movie ever produced, was completed in 2014 for just $4 million. Boyhood is the ultimate coming of age film, a sprawling three hours that takes us through the life of Mason, from his early days at elementary school to his high school graduation. The unique aspect of the film, and the thing that makes the whole movie work, is that Mason is played by Ellar Coltrane the whole way through. Yes, that means that Boyhood was shot over the course of 12 years. It’s a clear example
of supreme commitment from everyone involved in the film, from Coltrane right up to director Richard Linklater, not to mention IFC Films that showed a remarkable level of commitment for such a long-term project. With footage shot over 12 years, Boyhood offers a remarkably unique viewing experience for the audience. Naturally, we witness Mason (and his older sister Samantha, played by Linklater’s daughter Lorelei) grow up and progress towards adulthood, but we also get to see their divorced parents Olivia (Patricia Arquette) and Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke) mature as well, and the fact that everyone’s physical aging is legitimate rather than done through makeup adds a certain level of authenticity to the movie. Surely one of the riskier aspects of the movie was the fact
that Coltrane was just eight years old when they began filming. He might have been a good child actor, but Linklater and the rest of the production team had to take a massive gamble that he would end up being a decent actor into his teenage years. Truth be told, Coltrane doesn’t seem like a natural in front of the camera once he reaches his teens in the story, but because we watch his character go through the typical awkward years of adolescence, his performance fits perfectly. Boyhood might be too slow for some people’s taste. Even with its lengthy runtime, there isn’t a lot of major plot development, with most of the drama coming from Olivia’s repeated failed relationships and Mason’s struggle to find his path in life. Nevertheless, it held my attention because it simply felt incredibly real. That’s a rarity in cinema.
This 12-year look inside the life of a boy and his family is the quintessential human experience, one of the best films of 2014 and quite simply one of the most authentic films I’ve ever seen. It’s a worthy recipient of 10 mouse clicks out of 10.

Young riders like Annika Lafleur, left, and her brother Holt, bottom right, now have a cycling program dedicated to their age group, Mt. Bike Rippers.

6-12 year olds. Mel and David ran successful and popular women’s and men’s clinics last year. Mel and GCC director Andy Bostock each hosted weekly rides that combined instruction with a social group ride on our local trails. The success of these activities plus a growing interest from the public for child specific instruction has led to the development of the skills program. The Golden Mtn Bike Rippers program will teach cycling fundamentals in a safe, fun and controlled environment
and is designed to allow for a wide variation in abilities. All of the lead instructors will have a Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Association (PMBIA) level 1 or better certification. The course will run every Tuesday in May beginning May 5. Registration for the program opened April 9 at the Spring Registration event put on by the Town of Golden. Registration is also available at Higher Ground. A key component of the Ripper’s program is the instructor certification. PMBIA’s level 1 cer-
Answers to Your Health and Wellness Questions Q: I feel like my spring allergies have hit sooner than usual. Is this possible and what can I do to prevent my symptoms? A: It doesn’t take a scientist to see that we’re having an early spring, and with that comes a more intense allergy season. Although the leaves are just starting to bud and pollen counts are still quite low, here in Golden we have a few other factors that can cause allergies to be more pronounced this time of year. The first is wood smoke…not just wood smoke, but wood smoke coupled with the weather and geographical patterns of the Columbia Valley. On warmer days there is a tendency to burn smaller, more smoldering fires, instead of hot, clean burning ones. Combine a foggy day with a smoky fire and you have more allergens stuck in our narrow valley. Particles in the air also come from the dust on recently dry roads and highways. With an earlier spring, dusty streets were seen earlier this year. Thankfully, the Town has already been out cleaning the streets! For some great tips on how you can spare the air for our neighbours with allergies visit the Golden and District’s Air Quality Committee website (www.goldenairquality.ca). Another common spring allergen that not many people know about is snow mould. This was more evident a month ago, as the snow was just melting. You may have noticed a grey, dusty coating on the grass. This is snow mould, and spores from it can remain in the grass even after it looks like the mould is gone. Delaying raking and dethatching grass until later in the spring may be helpful. However, although it looks awk-
ward, wearing a mask is the best way to decrease your exposure, unless you can get someone else to rake for you! For those looking for a natural alternative to anti-histamines, you may want to consider quercetin. A flavonoid in many foods (including red onions, cilantro and dill), quercetin prevents the release of histamine in the body, therefore decreases allergic symptoms such as itchy/ - Dr. Erika Buckley-Strobel watery eyes, runny nose and sneezAsk Dr. Erika ing. Daily sinus rinses have also been proven effective in decreasing allergic sinus symptoms. Kits are available at most pharmacies and come with a reusable bottle or neti pot and premeasured saline packets.

Faith Column: Be a living sign of God’s mercy Catholic Church of Sacred Heart Submitted In John 20: 19-31 it gives us the story of how Jesus appears to his disciples. In the midst of fear and confusion Jesus brought peace and comfort to the disciples, breathed the Holy Spirit on them, and gave them their mission and the power to forgive sin. This Gospel passage includes the story of Thomas who was not present and did not believe that Jesus had appeared. Thomas said “Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side I will not believe.” This statement of Thomas was answered by Jesus a week later when Jesus appeared to all the disciples including Thomas. Jesus said to
Thomas “Put your finger here and see my hands and bring your hand and put it into my side and do not be unbelieving but believe.” Thomas answered Jesus “My Lord and My God”. Jesus continued “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” This Gospel gives us the assurance of the mercy of God through Jesus Christ. Jesus showed mercy to his disciples when, on meeting them together after they almost abandoned him, Jesus granted them mercy saying “Peace be with you” not once, but twice. Jesus gave them commissions to grant mercy to others when he said “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them.” A third time Jesus
granted the disciples mercy with Thomas present, “Peace be with you.” We too have received God’s mercy. Let us proclaim and pass on that mercy to other people by sharing it with them by showing mercy to others through forgiveness and acts of compassion. Let us pray that other people, too, may know, welcome, receive and pass on the mercy of God. Let us be a living sign of God’s mercy and compassion to everyone. May Easter bring peace to the world, to the community, to our families and to every individual person. May the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ be the way to peace for all mankind. May the blessings of the Easter continue for you and yours.
tification course is a three-day, $445 commitment on the part of anyone volunteering to instruct and GCC is pleased to acknowledge the support of CSRD Area A director Karen Cathcart. The grant in aid she sponsored will help subsidize certification costs and provide funding for the Ripper course instruction materi-
als. Mel Weber and David Gagnon will again offer their women’s and men’s clinics this year. The clinics begin with an evening of ‘classroom’ discussion followed by a day of instruction on our local trails. Information about these clinics can be obtained at Higher Ground.

Field and Revelstoke were Golden baseball team’s biggest rivals The following article was submitted to be published in the 1982 edition of Golden Memories by Ken Clippingdale. One year the baseball team acquired a player as a pitcher - Turning Back the Pages who was an IndiBy Colleen Palumbo an. Mose was very good on the mound, having a good knuckle ball, a slider and a smoking fast ball. At one meeting of the Club, the assets were discussed. Some members wondered why there was not more money in the kitty. The manager secretary explained that before Mose would pitch for the team, it was essential the club buy him a pair of moccasins and a blanket. So nobody complained and Mose did his stuff on the mound. The skating rink was a favorite in winter, and, the Fancy Dress Carnival was one of the highlights of the winter season. My brother, Wyndham, went as a Hungarian dancing girl, with a long switch of hair, a very colorful costume and a mask. Because of the costume and the trimmings, some of the young bucks wanted to date him! My Mother constructed my costume which was a series of boxes and wrappings, representing Parcel Post. My torso was encased in a big box. I was subjected to a continual rata-tat on the box with quirts from some of the girls dressed as cowgirls. Herb Blakley spent many hours con-
structing his outfit which was a series of light wooden boxes in various sizes from head to foot. However, when he was rounding the end of the rink, someone bumped into him and he hit a post completely destroying his masterpiece. He was so unhappy that he peeled the remnants off and threw it all out the back door. On the hill overlooking the town, where the Trans-Canada Highway now runs, we had a small downhill ski run and also a bobsled and toboggan run that followed the existing road. We had it banked at the bottom, but as I recall the helmsman occasionally misjudged the speed and went over the bank turn, and if the crust top of the snow was thick, he slid on top of it for a short distance, until brought to an abrupt halt by a barbed wire fence. During Baseball games on the holiday occasions when the local team was playing its deadly rivals, the teams from Field and Revelstoke, the grandstand was full and people were packed in near the baselines. Tommy Conner was the mainstay of the pitching staff and Bill Henderson did the catching most of the time. On one occasion, they had a rather ancient former bush leaguer from outside Golden on the mound. He had made a few pitches at the beginning of the game, and was cranking up for another delivery, when, just at that moment, there was a loud crack and he staggered off the pitcher’s mound holding his arm and moaning, “Give me a shot!” Within a matter of minutes, spectators were converging on the mound tugging at their hip pockets. This was rather a strange thing to a young innocent boy, but on the way home, past the hospital, it

Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum became clear. As he passed the entrance he saw the pitcher emerging from the hospital weaving a great deal and being supported by one of the male medical staff. After getting home, the word “shot” was explained to me in a very modified manner. High old times even at athletic contests. Whenever athletic schedules entailed going to the rival’s domain, they were well supported by the town, and on several occasions, sufficient were signed up to have a railway coach filled up. My father and I attended one of these safaris to Revelstoke over a Labor Day Holiday. Tak-
ing the earliest train in the morning, you had the advantage of a full day there. The homeward bound train left Revelstoke at midnight and arrived in Golden in the early morning hours. One of the main hazards of the trip home was dozing off despite the noise of trombones, and various other musical instruments by happy travellers. Woe be to the Goldenite who might doze off in the wee small hours. He awoke to a large chunk of ice in the open mouth placed there by his playful companions. After that happened once or twice, he stayed awake to journey’s end.
