Orphaned grizzly bear gets new lease on life Golden Minor Soccer wraps up season ..................................12

Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Sometimes, life gives you a second chance. That’s the case for Valentine, an orphaned grizzly cub who was firmly knocking on death’s door six months ago, alone and weighing just 20 pounds with winter rapidly approaching. “One more day and that would have been

it,” recalled Conservation Officer Alex Desjardins, who responded to the original call regarding Valentine late last year. The call came from Ross Prather, a Kicking Horse Trail resident and the manager of the Grizzly Bear Refuge at the resort. Prather had discovered Valentine in his backyard, orphaned, weak and ill prepared for the winter that was to come. Valentine’s story wouldn’t have had a happy

ending if it wasn’t for the Northern Lights Wildlife Society, an animal rehabilitation centre located in Smithers. There was a time when a bear like Valentine would have been a prime candidate to be euthanized. Instead, Desjardins was able to take care of the bear for a few days before Peter and Angelika Langen, the society’s founders, were able to pick him up. Continued on page 5

Vandalism damages Golden Cycling Club’s Mt. Shadows trails Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The Golden Cycling Club continues to assess the damage after several bridges and features on its Magic Dragon trail in the Mt. Shadows trail network were destroyed sometime on Thursday night or Friday morning (June 18-19). Six structures were completely destroyed and left in pieces beside the trail. The bridges connected the trail through rock gardens and acted as embellishments, bonus features that made the ride more fun for cyclists. “We’re not really aware of what exactly happened and why, but we’re definitely looking into it, meeting with people from (the Ministry of) Forestry and trying to get to the bottom of it,” said Golden Cycling Club President Jeremy Harris. The volunteer-built trails also included materials that were donated in order to allow for the construction of the bridges. Harris said the Cycling Club will weigh its options with regards to vandalism incidents such as these, saying that they will even con-

sider the possibility of trail cameras to deter potential vandals in the future. “It’s an unfortunate thing to have to think about doing, but that might be one suggestion that we’d have to look into,” he said. While the RCMP hadn’t been notified of the incident as of Monday (the detachment was closed when Harris tried to reach them on Saturday) the Club’s president said the police would be brought in if the Ministry of Forestry recommended that they do so following discussions this week. It’s difficult to say how long it will be before the trails are repaired. Harris believes it will be a few weeks’ worth of rebuilding time and that it will come at an extensive cost of both materials and volunteer hours. For now, cyclists will have to get off their bikes and walk through the damaged sections, and Harris didn’t rule out the possibility that the entire trail could be closed until it is repaired. “We just want to let people know that we don’t know who did this, it could just be random acts of vandalism and we’re definitely not pointing the finger. We’re just going to get to the bottom of it, figure out what we can do, and try and rebuild it as soon as possible,” Harris said.

Jumbo Resort hits major roadblock Kevin Nimmock & Nicole Trigg Black Press Environment Minister Mary Polak has determined that the Jumbo Glacier Resort project has not been substantially started. The result of Polak's decision (announced on June 18) is that Glacier Resort Ltd's environmental assessment certificate has expired and thus, the proponent cannot proceed with developing this project unless a new certificate is obtained. "It's important to note that in a decision like this, it's a statutory decision and so I am limited by law in my ability to discuss matters with colleagues or with anyone to be honest, except

those directly involved such as those reporting through the Environmental Assessment Office," said Polak during the live conference call she hosted regarding her decision on Jumbo Glacier Resort. Her remark was in response to the question of whether her decision would be met with opposition from within the BC Liberal party, and specifically from East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett who has been a long-time supporter of the proposed ski resort. "So I have not had any discussions with my colleagues about my decision... so I would not be able to comment on their reaction." She went on to say all her colleagues have a high degree of

respect for the statutory decision making process and she doesn't anticipate that her decision will cause her any issues with respect to her relations and workings with her colleagues. Norm Macdonald, the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, thinks otherwise. “There is no question that Mary Polak has made a decision that is going to have colleagues angry at her, but it is the right decision,” he said, adding the minister deserves a lot of praise. “One expects ministers to do the right thing, but these are people, and at a personal level, she has done something that I think is brave.”

How Wide? How Long? How High? How Wide? How Long? How High? These questions, when asked in relation to vehicles and their loads, probably bring large commercial vehicles to mind for most drivers. The Commercial Transport Regulations do set out the maximum dimensions for commercial vehicles and their loads. The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations take a legal short cut and apply them and some other provisions to light vehicles too. In general, your vehicle and it’s load cannot be more than 2.6 m (8’ 6”) wide, 12.5 m (41’) long and 4.15 m (13’ 7”) high. In addition, it’s load cannot project more than 1 m (3’ 3”) ahead of the front bumper, 1.85 m (6’ 8”) behind the back of the vehicle or 4.5 m (14’ 9”) behind the center of the last axle. If you are driving something other than a pickup or delivery van, the load cannot be wider than the sides of the vehicle. Things can get quite complicated from here if you add a trailer, are driving a pickup truck or delivery van or are carrying special commodities. Perhaps the simplest way to get advice before you set out on your trip is to know your exact dimensions and contact the nearest weigh scale. The inspectors there will provide expert advice and some scales are always open for your call. Commercial vehicles may obtain exemptions from basic size rules through the use of a special exemption permit as long as the conditions of the permit are followed. The regulations do provide for the use of permits for light vehicles as well, but the last time I checked the policy was that these permits would not be issued.

Minor soccer thrives under volunteers Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Sarah Osadetz is no stranger to volunteering in Golden, but when she jumped into the world of Golden Minor Soccer she was amazed by how many dedicated people it takes to keep the organization running. “It’s probably the most intense 10-week period of volunteerism around,” said Osadetz, who serves as the coaching co-ordinator, as well as refereeing and pitching in wherever she can. Although very active in various sports, soccer was never Osadetz’s forte. But when her daughter Lily, now 13, found her niche in Golden Minor Soccer last year, Osadetz decided to jump in with both feet. “My daughter finally found something she loved,” she said. With very little soccer knowledge Osadetz decided the best way to learn was to take the referee course, something she recommends to anyone starting out with soccer. She soon took on more responsibilities, and is now excited to be working with the dedicated board to hopefully grow the organization. The season officially wrapped up this past weekend, but if the interest is there, Osadetz wants to continue practise sessions for the competitive U-15 girls team, and possibly even enter the team into a fall tournament. “With such a short season they start, get good, then they stop,” she said. There is even talk of starting some sort of fall program, or winter indoor program. It is the volunteers, however, that make these things happen. “It will depend on interest, and volunteer-

Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo ism… The current board, coaches, refs, everyone at Golden Minor Soccer puts in so much time and effort. It really is an amazing group,” said Osadetz. That being said, the more volunteers the better, especially with referees. “It really is the most well-attended sport in Golden. There are 260 kids, 40 coaches, and even the older players are helping out with the younger teams. There’s some amazing soccer players here, it’s great to see.”

Valentine checks in at 200 pounds on release Broken pump keeping square fountain dry

Continued from page 1

The road to the wild was a long one, and initially Valentine wasn’t responding the way the Langens would have liked. “We were quite sure that there was some underlying infection or something….we found out that he had a kidney infection and he also had porcupine quills into him. We took those out and we treated the kidney infection with antibiotics and within five days it was a total turnaround. He got rambunctious, and eating and playful…the recovery of bears is just amazing compared to other animals,” Angelika said. His recovery accelerated from there through a heavy dose of oatmeal, milk and fruit, before the Langens eventually introduced meat into his diet. As of Friday morning, Valentine’s rehabilitation was officially complete, having bulked up to nearly 200 pounds, a weight that pleased the organization’s founders. Just after 10 a.m., the yearling was released in a remote area north of Golden. His first steps outside of the transportation crate were cautious, which pleased the Langens as it demonstrated that he was going to be careful as he reentered the wilderness. After lingering near the Langens’ truck for a moment or two, Valentine took off into the bush and instantly began foraging for food. Another excellent sign. “Now it’s joy. After all these years we know that’s where they want to be,” Angelika said. “The first one was hard because you don’t know,” she added. “You don’t know how they’re going to do…it’s 18 grizzlies (altogether) that we’ve (released) and the post-release information is really good. You can do it with a lot more confidence.” The first few weeks in the wild will be crucial for Valentine’s long-term surviv-

Some of you may have noticed that Golden’s Spirit Square is missing something this summer season. The water fountain that flows from the level of the dyke path down to the square, which can usually be seen full of children splashing in the water, is not flowing just yet. “The ice jam this winter forced water into the pump vault and destroyed the pump,” said Town CAO Jon Wilsgard. Town staff were not aware of the damage until they went to check for pre-inspection start up late in the spring. The new pump (which has a cost of more than $5,000) has been ordered, and with a minimum six-week order time the hope is that the new one will be installed and running by the middle of July.

the region and so on…it shows in the research that if you can put them in areas where they have no human contact for the first month, then the rehab goes the best.” And while there are no guarantees as Desjardins puts it “nature is nature” rehabilitation has proven to work in the past in order to give grizzly bears another chance. A chance that, for Valentine, seemed like a pipe dream when he was rescued from the wild late last year.

Weekend Sportsmanship

opinion

Wednesday, June 24, 2015 The Golden Star

Gas Prices Dear Editor,

This weekend in Golden was one of the busiest I’ve had in a while as a reporter. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I was running around from place to place, grabbing photos of the countless events happening around town. So much in fact that there wasn’t enough room in the - I SURMISE paper to print photos By Jessica Schwitek from everything. Sports was the theme this weekend, not only a major three-day bike race (bringing in dozens of out of town riders), but local soccer and softball tournaments. It was the sportsmanship that stood out most for me...both in good and bad ways. Riders from the Kicking Horse Cup, by the nature of a road race, were riding on the roads around town. There is no shortage of tension between motorists and cyclists these days, especially in the cities. But what I witnessed any time I saw racers on the road (particularly Golden Upper Donald on Sunday morning), was drivers slowing down and patiently waiting for an appropriate time to pass. At the soccer fields, by far the most chaotic place in Golden this weekend, there were nothing but smiling faces. Parents were chatting with each other, and on several occasions I heard them cheering for players on opposing teams after a good play. At the ball fields the mood was also very high as teams, most of which are made up of friends or coworkers, had fun closing out the season with a two-day tournament. That wasn’t the case on every ball diamond, however. As I wandered around snapping photos I stumbled upon a few games where you could feel the tension between the two dugouts. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of players were happy, respectful, and any heckling going back and forth was all in good fun. But not all. There were even a couple instances where I saw the umpires taking some unnecessary verbal abuse when a player was unhappy with a call. This was particularly unfair given that umpires at the tournament were from other teams, and didn’t have their own teammates there for support. It’s great to get into the games and be passionate, but that should never come at the expense of the enjoyment of the game. Fortunately it was a very enjoyable weekend of softball. The league even came together to pay some appreciation to the outgoing organizer Greg Cowan for all of his years of work with the league.

I would like to make a comment about the skyrocketing gas prices we are experiencing. This is insane. With the low oil prices, how can these greedy oil company’s justify raising the price of gas 15 cents in the last few weeks? We are now at $1.30 litre. The last time it was this high oil was over $100.00 a barrel. This is price gouging at its worst, and our government will do nothing to protect the consumer because of increased revenues. I believe that the oil companies should have to go before an independent commission before an increase in

Wolves and Livestock Editor, There were some interesting numbers put forward in a recent article titled "Livestock losses to wolves rising in BC" (May 28), published in a recent Alberta based news source "The Western Producer". Further information is required to understand the larger picture and gain a better perspective of the claims at hand. The article states that in 2014 the BC Cattleman's Association reported 553 confirmed kills by wolves and another 249 losses by other predators. The missing number here is 545,000. That is the

gas prices can take effect. This is what the Utility Companies have to do, that they must justify why the increase in price is necessary.. I believe this is the only type of protection that would work for us consumers. We have been at their mercy far too long, it is time the government did what it was elected to do. Protect the consumer from unjust treatment from the big oil companies. Profit should never be a four letter word, but insane profit on the backs of the people should not be tolerated. There is no justification for these recent increases in gas prices, it’s just a case of corporate and government greed. Marcel Gaetz Golden

count of B.C. cattle and calves on farms in B.C., according to Statistics Canada (2013). When we do the math, that translates to wolves killing 0.0101% of the cattle and calves across the province. When all predators are combined, that number increases to 0.0147 % which is still enormously beneath what is portrayed in the article as a "problem spreading across the province." The article goes on to state that many incidents go unreported, however it is extremely important to recognize that throughout the lifespan of a domestic animal; weather, genetics, feeding, birthing and transportation all pose much greater risks to survival.

In the most comprehensive review ever done, a recent review of records collected over 25 years provided further evidence that hunted wolves kill more livestock the next year, according to the article "Effects of Wolf Mortality on Livestock Depredations" published in the scientific journal article PLoSONE (2014). Similarly, research on Dingos in Australia documented pack disintegration (loss of social stability regardless of population size) following indiscriminate lethal control methods. In this research there appeared to be an increase in attack rates on livestock when using poison baits. Continued on page 7

“I’d say no. We need more touristy stuff around here, and we enjoy going down there.”

“I’m not sure. If they build the resort it might help with tourism but it could be bad if it hurts local businesses.”

Shannon Archibald and Landon Feuz “Yes. I have mixed feelings about it because I’d like the countryside to stay wild.”

Go to www.thegoldenstar.net to have your say. Continued from page 6 These findings bolster other studies that indicate that killing wolves can cause more problems for ranchers and that maintaining pack social stability is important in minimizing conflicts; implying that the only sensible solution lies in preventing livestock losses to natural predators through husbandry practices. When wildlife managers and other partners come together to "discuss wildlife problems and consider controls" can we hope to expect that contemporary research on wolf social dynamics will contribute to informed management? Managing people and managing livestock are the most sensible, and perhaps only, ways to manage wolves where they overlap with domestic animals. The province's assistant deputy minister for forests, lands and natural resource operations stated in the article that "compensation is only a partial solution.” This could not be more true! While compensation programs are helpful in reimbursing producers for financial losses associated with depredation events and may increase tolerance of natural predators, they are useless in addressing the issue of reducing conflicts - the ultimate goal.

It is vital that education about prevention-based husbandry practices become as important if not more so as the rancher workshops that have taken place across the province on how to verify kills. When considering the responsibility inherent in managing public lands for biodiversity, conservation, ecosystem services, and Canada's natural legacy, in combination with truly supporting the livestock production industry, this should not only be a question of who pays, but ultimately a question of best practices. Science has proven that the type of husbandry used most often has a larger influence on predation than wolf population densities or wolf management techniques. In essence, whether or not concerns are warranted as to increased numbers of wolves and other predators in ranching areas of Alberta and British Columbia, there are several proven methods to protect livestock through prevention.

BC honours Legion Rick Coleman Military Liason To celebrate the incredible work of the Royal Canadian Legion in British Columbia the Province is proclaiming June 23-29 Legion Week, announced military liaison Rich Coleman. Throughout the week leading up to Canada Day, 55 legions all over British Columbia will mark the occasion by holding special events in their communities to promote learning about history, share Canada's heritage and increase awareness of the legion's programs and activities. The Royal Canadian Legion is an active organization throughout B.C., serving veterans of both the military and the RCMP, as well as providing social services such as affordable seniors housing and assisted living.

Student fundraising bought six goats for developing countries Janne Arlt Principal of LGES, FES Our Free the Children Group finished off the year with a “Buy a Goat” fundraiser. Classes were challenged to buy some goats for families in developing countries. Mme. Bernier’s class raised enough to buy 6 goats and won the ice cream cake. Each class raised enough money to buy at least one goat. Total raised was $1364.05 – 27 goats! Our Grade 7 Farewell was last Thursday. Parents did an awesome job of converting the gym into a colourful Candyland. They also provided cupcakes, candy and lemonade for some sweet refreshments. Thanks to all those that helped to make it a special event for our students that are moving onto high school next year.

This last week of school is full of fun events – Grade 7 Bowling, Fun Day and one more swim time for each class, final field trips and movies. Report Cards will be sent home on Thursday, the last day of classes. We want to thank all the parents, as well as many community members and volunteers that work with us to support our students. A huge thanks to our PAC members who give so much of their time and energy to help make our school a better place. A particular thanks for trying out the Hot Lunch Program again in the second half of the year. The students loved it! Funding from the PAC enables us to offer so many extra experiences and opportunities at the school, too. We couldn’t do it without you! Field School Happenings – from Jen Cox As the school year winds down in Field the students have

been visiting Golden weekly for swimming lessons at the pool and gymnastics lessons at Kicking Horse Gymnastics Club. The grade threes have been making another weekly trip into Golden to spend a day in Mrs. Bennet’s grade three class to get to know other students who will be making the transition to grade four at Lady Grey with them. The time in between spent at Field school has been filled with writing about our experiences, plugging away at math problems, preparing for the next school year and more exploration of the riverbanks and forests near our school. This past weekend the students embarked on a rainy overnight camping trip to Kicking Horse Campground where they celebrated their learning successes and National Aboriginal Day. We wish everyone a fun and relaxing summer!

Cycling Club opens newest trail

A rider cycles down the Golden Cycling Club’s latest trail, Odonata. Photo Submitted Golden Cycling Club Story Submitted The Golden Cycling Club opened its newest trail on June 15. The 2 km trail links the junction of the Tallis FSR and Kicking Horse Trail to the CBT Mainline trail. Odonata runs on a ridge parallel to the Tallis FSR and above Cedar Creek. It is the creek that sets Odonata apart from other trails as it accompanies users along the length of the trail. It also required GCC to build a 25 m boardwalk and bridge in order to cross the east fork of Cedar Creek.

Project manager, Rick Seward, explains that the trail was originally conceived in 2009 as part of a larger trail development in the area to the north of the Cedar Lake Recreation Site. That development was put on hold with the construction of the new transmission line and changing GCC priorities. However, in 2013, a meeting between GCC and KHMR concluded that a trail linking the resort and the Moonraker trails would benefit both organizations. Originally intended to be an all-volunteer effort on the part

of the Club, construction of Odonata began in 2014 when the Revelstoke fire protection crew showed up to cut the corridor. KHMR’s Summit Fund donated $1000 toward the bridge and Canadian Timberframes donated the bridge decking materials. Once again, Alpine Helicopters offered their help, flying materials into the bridge site. In the fall of 2014, interest in linking KHMR to Cedar Lake grew, largely thanks to the efforts of local events organizer Magi Scallion. Magi has been working for the past year on the Golden Ultra race to be held this fall and sees a big future for Golden and KHMR to expand their adventure tourism base. With this in mind, GCC received funding from Columbia Basin Trust to complete the Odonata trail. Now that the trail is open, Seward notes that two other trails in the same area are expected to be completed this fall. The first is a machine built trail from the ‘CBC tower’ to the junction of Odonata and CBT Mainline. The second will be a connector trail between the tower and CBT Mainline. Both trails are being funded by the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and will be built by Starr Trail Solutions.

While each of Gary Comeau, Tim Hearsey and Chris Nordquist have known each other and performed together for some time now, it was only in the past few years that the three of them got together to form Cannery Row. They’ll be bringing their talents to Golden on June 30 as part of Kicking Horse Culture’s Summer Kicks series and Hearsey says that the audience can expect to hear a broad range of roots music from the trio. “They’ll get a pretty broad take of the roots genre, from New Orleans to Delta Blues to Chicago-style blues, jazz, we cut a pretty wide swath musically speaking,” he said. Hearsey, who arrived in Vancouver in 1975, quickly gained a reputation as one of the city’s rising young guitar talents. Over the years he has performed with acclaimed blues musicians, from Lowell Fulson to Eddie Shaw. In 1996, Hearsey and Jim Byrnes collaborated on the Juno award-winning album “That River”. He’s been playing with

Nordquist since the 1970s and has played with Comeau off and on for the past 15 years. As with many blues groups, any Cannery Row show is a completely different experience than the one before it, with each artist given ample opportunity to improvise and create a fresh sound. “You never really know which way it’s going to go…musically speaking we’re in each other’s wheelhouses as they say, in terms of being able to improvise,” Hearsey said. Their collective ability to play off each other is what has made them so successful, according to Hearsey, which in turn makes it a fun experience for both the musicians and the audience. “We like each other, for one thing, which is a crucial thing to making any relationship work. Musically, we’re all sort of coming at it from the same sort of place… we’re all roots players and it fits together well,” he said. Hearsey says the group plans to get into the studio in the near future, with pre-production having already begun on an album. To hear a sample of their work and for more information, visit canrowmusic.com.

There are some parallels to be drawn between this week’s movie, Foxcatcher, and last week’s, Whiplash. Both feature eccentric figures who attempt to mentor their students to the top of their professions through increasingly ruthless means. The aggressive teaching style escalates throughout the film, before it reaches a conclusion in dramatic fashion. At the heart of this week’s film, which is based on a true story, are a pair of brothers, Mark and Dave Schultz, and John Du Pont (Steve Carrell), one of the richest people in the United States and an amateur wrestling enthusiast. Mark (Channing Tatum) is a defending world and Olympic champion who trains twice a day with Dave (Mark Ruffalo) before he is invited to join John’s training academy, Foxcatcher. Mark tries to convince Dave to join him, but he initially declines, choosing not to uproot his family and move to the training facility fulltime. Meanwhile, Mark’s downward spiral begins not long after joining Team Foxcatcher as John becomes increasingly controlling. One night, John encourages him to take cocaine. Later, John convinces Mark that he can’t be a true champion unless he emerges from the shadow of his older brother. The abuse becomes physical and Mark’s performance begins to suffer as a result. Dave eventually decides to join the Foxcatcher training academy as a coach, but for Mark, the damage appears to be done. Foxcatcher is tense despite its slower pace, combining thoughtful dialogue with wonderful acting performances to create a mood that is every bit worthy of this intriguing true story. Carrell is chilling as the Brando-esque godfather of Team Foxcatcher, a wonderful display for an actor who hit the big screen for his comedic chops rather than his dramatic ability. Clearly, he has some range. Ruffalo and Tatum are worthy counterparts, although they do remain a bit overshadowed by their co-star, albeit through no fault of their own. Far more dramatic and of higher quality than your typical sports movie, Foxcatcher is another gem from 2014 in what is turning out to be a banner year for Hollywood movies, if you ignore the litany of comic book films. It’s a few notches below some of the very best from last year, but it’s still a high quality movie that will stick with you long after the closing credits. It’s thoroughly deserving of 9 mouse clicks out of 10.

Book explores actual murder between Golden and Valemount

- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo

In my capacity here at the Golden Museum I am often asked to do interviews for all kinds of media. At other times I am asked to provide information for magazines or books.

One such book that I was asked to contribute to was “The Colour of Gold”, written by Margaret McKirdy. Margaret, a resident of Valemount, BC was intrigued by the true story of a murder that took place in the area between Golden and Valemount. She was so intrigued that she wrote a book about it. Margaret wrote the book in a very easy style and while sometimes I find that true stories are hard to follow she did a very good job of making it interesting. She did this by writing

in a fictional style to fill in the story around the actual facts of the case. If you haven’t already read this book – which came out in 1998, now might be the time to hunt it down and read it. I would suggest that you can probably get the book at Bacchus Books here in Golden. I’m sure that if Caleb doesn’t have it in stock he would figure out how to find you one. I’m going to share a bit of the book with you right now. “When Griffith approached Dr. Taylor with the request that he do an autopsy on the body of Alex McCaulay, Dr. Taylor sat back in his swivel chair. The chair rolled away from his desk and he looked out at fluffy white clouds nestled against the distant mountains. He looked down at his strong hands, the nails neatly trimmed, the skin soft as the softest leather. “I’d be a whole

month on the trail.” He looked up and laughed. I’d need gloves or these hands would blister from holding the reins.” He sobered and continued, “Golden would be without a doctor while I am gone. There is one baby due in early September. If the labour starts early, Mrs. Conner could see to that. But there could be emergencies.” “In that case, we will see that the patient is transported to Revelstoke. That is what was done before you came…We’ll manage,” Griffith assured him. “There could be too much delay, I don’t know.” Dr. Taylor gazed out the window again, looked down at his clenched fists, then looked up again, “I don’t know,” he said again. On July 31, Dr. Taylor put his left hand on the saddle horn, his left foot into the stirrup and swing onto his horse and together with Jack Evans and Kid Price, started on a journey into the north country to perform an autopsy on the body of Alex McCaulay. Run-off was ling over and the creeks were lower and easier to ford, but the horses sometimes sank to their knees where the corduroy was buried in mud. When the horses mired down; they cov-

He was first up in the morning. He went, found his horse, petted it, gave it oats and petted it some more. Because of heavy rain, they sat in their tents for two days. No problem for Dr. Taylor. Kid Price told stories. The doctor listened. They made it to Swift Creek the evening of August 12. Next day was hot. Alex had been two months dead when Kid and Jack dug him up. Even before they opened the coffin, the stench of rotten flesh assaulted them. When they pried off the lid, Kid staggered away. He leaned against a tree and heaved. He thought about the way Alex died and cried,

“We had no right to dig him up.” Jack sniffed, blinked, wiped his eyes and built a smudge to discourage the flies. While the men dug, the doctor prepared a carbolic solution. He washed his hands in that and carefully scrubbed around his nails. He dipped a thin linen cloth in a clean solution and covered his nose and mouth. His holiday was over. With firm resolution, he began to cut. Above the mask his face could be seen to turn increasingly grey, his eyes to show the strain. Methodically he continued. After a time the doctor worked, Kid dipped his handkerchief into the solution, covered his nose and mouth, and returned to the doctor’s side. The

doctor continued to work until, suddenly, his hand dropped and he staggered away from the putrid body. He removed his mask, breathed deeply, took a short walk, returned and picked up his pen. He wrote: “Patient in an emaciated condition, his body now much decomposed.” He turned to the cadaver and continued to probe. The doctor pointed along the course of the bullet, for Kid. “The bullet entered here and destroyed the eye socket,” he said. He showed Kid where it went through the face and where it came through the skin and then re-entered. “Here,” he said, “it punctured the pericardium, the sack around the heart.”

Answers to your health and wellness questions Q – Even though summer is here it seems like everyone around me is getting the “common cold.” Do you have any naturopathic tips for keeping my immune system strong so I can stay healthy this summer? A – You’re right! Immune support is important year round, not only in the winter months. And who wants to feel stuffy and congested when it’s warm and beautiful outside? Thankfully the same strategies we use to prevent colds during the winter months can be applied to the summer. Hydrotherapy techniques can be used at home for an easy and economical prevention strategy. Contrast showers, when taken on a regular basis, increase your body’s circulation and have been shown to boost immunity. When showering, simply alternate between a comfortable hot (2 minutes) and slightly uncomfortable cold (10 seconds) water temperature. Repeat 3 times, ending with cold. Another hydrotherapy technique, nasal rinses or a Neti pot rinse with saline can be used regularly to help to keep the mucous membranes of the sinuses healthy, which is the body’s first defence against respiratory infections. Studies have also shown daily sinus rinses to be an important adjunctive therapy in preventing and treating seasonal allergies. My favourite immune supporting herb is Astragalus membranaceous. The root of a pea plant found in parts of Asia, Astragalus has been used for thousands of years as an immune-boosting tonic. Astragalus is also considered an adaptogen, meaning it boosts the adrenal system, helping your body adapt to physical, mental or emo-

tional stresses. As always, don’t forget the basic lifestyle actions you can take to prevent catching a cold. Regular hand washing destroys bacteria living on the skin and prevents their spread to the mucous membranes where they can start an infection. With these long, light - Dr. Erika Buckley-Strobel Ask Dr. Erika days, ensure you get adequate rest. Excess stress and lack of sleep taxes the immune system, therefore decreasing the body’s ability to fight infection. Lastly, eat healthy, whole foods. Nutrient dense foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, organic/wild meat and legumes) contain vitamins, minerals and protein that are essential to the optimal functioning of the immune system. Limit the refined sugars as they are the immune system’s number one enemy. Keep submitting your health questions.

Golden Star Faith Column: The bread of life I like food. I don't have particularly exotic tastes, unless you think sushi is exotic. But I'm also getting older and with that comes more frequent warnings from physicians and a changing relationship to food. So I try to be more careful. I started reading labels. The upside of this is more vegetables. The downside of this is less chocolate! We should be mindful about our food. It's good stewardship of our bodies. But (barring unusual circumstances) we certainly don’t need to worry about every bite. Jesus tells us “Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat and drink... Is not life more than food?” (Matthew 6:25). Jesus knows we need food, of course. In the same chapter he instructs us to pray for our daily bread. But he asks us to not worry about our food and to fix our attention elsewhere: “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’... your heavenly Father knows that you need these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33). - Pastor Richard Campeau Jesus offers us a different kind of food, which he calls the Bread of Life. This Bread of Life is himself, Golden Baptist Church and as satisfying and nourishing as the food we eat may be, the Bread of Life satisfies and nourishes for eternity. He said “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35). More specifically this Bread is the body of Jesus broken for us (that's what Christians say when we remember him at communion). Jesus said “the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6:51). His body was broken on the cross for us, to give us life. Take and eat!

Afternoon of fun to support Golden firefighters Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net The equipment at the Golden Fire Hall is vital to the operations of Golden Fire Rescue. So when something breaks or wears out, it's up to the Golden Volunteer Firefighters Association to replace it. This Saturday, June 27, the association, with the help of 7Eleven, will be holding a fundraising event to make sure that money is available for this life-saving equipment. "We're trying to raise funds to put towards the road rescue program," said Sean Lemieux, a volunteer firefighter in Golden. "It's for general maintenance. If we find a new tool we need, or break something during training we need to

replace it." The event will include a barbecue, silent auction, live music from the Pickups, and games and face painting for the kids. Members of the fire department will also be on site for the festivities in the 7Eleven parking lot. Aside from the silent auction, which includes donations from local businesses like Glacier Rafting, The Turning Point, Brent's Board Shop and Lordco (among many others), the fire department will also be selling their own memorabilia, like T-shirts and hats. "You can also look forward to seeing Mr. Slurpee, the 7Eleven mascot will be down there," said Lemieux. "I think it's the first time he's come to Golden." The event go from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 27.
