The Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG) is celebrating a win this week after Golden was chosen to receive an Early Years Centre by the Province and the Provincial Early Years Office. The site will be one of only 12

test sites across the province. “We are extremely grateful to the Early Years

Office for selecting us and we’re very excit-ed about the opportunity to provide this ser-vice to our children and families,” said Joanne McCullough, ELCSAG’s coordinator.

The centre will be an all encompassing facility for early childhood development that promises

to have benefits for parents and children alike. “This place will be family friendly, it will be a

For Choosing

Certain sections of Highway 1 between Golden and Revelstoke are going to be moving a little more quickly, or at least that’s what the pro-posed speed limit increases are meant to accomplish.

After a recent review by the Prov-ince, the government has increased speed limits on 35 sections of B.C. highways, totalling about 1,300 kilo-metres.

Excluding the sections of highway that go through the national parks, the stretch of Highway 1 between Highway 23 North near Revelstoke, and Anderson Road near Golden will see an increase from 90 km/h to 100 km/h.

Highway 95 south of Golden has not been affected at all by the changes.

The most significant increase will be seen on the Coquihalla where sec-tions will be increased to 120 km/h.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit.

The recent provincial review, which surveyed residents, showed that 61 per cent of drivers wanted the speed limit increased between Golden and Revelstoke, while only two per cent wanted it decreased.

A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs

that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Can-ada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky high-ways.

In northern B.C., 52 per cent of people taking part in public consul-tation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had sup-port, the highest in the Lower Main-land at 81 per cent.

RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC repre-sentatives also expressed safety con-cerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases.

Ministry statistics show the num-ber of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, from a combination of

improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement.

Based on RCMP recommendations, there will also be a new signage pro-gram, with better signage regard-ing mandatory winter tire use, more signs asking slower drivers to stay in the right hand lane, and a pilot pro-ject where signs advising motorists with more than five vehicles following to pull over.

“Safety on our highways is our num-ber one priority, and is the foundation for every decision that has resulted from this review. The actions we’re taking were the subject of a thor-ough technical review by our engin-eers, and the ministry is committed to ongoing monitoring and evaluation of speed limits and other highway safety measures,” said Stone.

These new signs, asking slow drivers to pull over and let cars pass them, is part of a signage pilot project. Image Submitted

Electronic Device Use for Class 7 and 7L DriversCan we all agree that driving while distracted is a bad thing? Probably. Would

we also consider that this would be more important for an inexperienced driver than a practiced one? Very likely. Did you know that our laws concerning the use of electronic devices while driving actually re� ect this thought? Surprise!

The holder of a class 7L (learner) or class 7 (novice) driver’s licence must not use an electronic device while driving, period. No telephone calls, texting, iPods, GPS maps or adjustments, mobile radio conversations, computers or televisions. The only way for a GLP driver to use one of these legally is to be parked properly or making a call to emergency services about an emergency. This does re� ect more restriction than the rules that apply to holders of a full privilege class of driver’s licence.

Remember that the word “use” means holding it in your hand in a position that would allow it’s use, actually operating one of the device’s functions, watching the screen of an electronic device or communicating orally with it.

Oddly enough, the same thing does not apply to a class 8L (motorcycle learner) or class 8 (motorcycle novice) driver’s licence holder. They must obey the same rules as the driver with a full privilege driver’s licence. Perhaps the lawmakers felt that these GLP drivers would not use electronic devices because of the nature of the vehicle. If this is the case, they are not correct.

This fall, 9-1-1 call answer services for nine interior regional districts, including the East Kootenays, will move to a new service provider.

Starting Nov. 18, 9-1-1 calls placed from the Regional Districts of Cen-tral Okanagan, North Okanagan, Okanagan-Similkameen, Thompson-Nicola, Columbia-Shuswap, Squamish-Lillooet (North), Central Koote-nay, East Kootenay and Kootenay-Boundary will be answered through E-Comm, the emergency communication centre located in the Lower Mainland.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) provides initial 9-1-1 call response services to the nine regional districts throughout the B.C. Interior.  The RDCO currently has a Memorandum of Understand-ing with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for initial Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) service, which is provided out of the South-east District Operational Communications Centre (OCC) in Kelow-na.  That is where all 9-1-1 calls placed within the nine regional dis-tricts are answered by a Telecommunications Operator who determines the nature of the emergency call and quickly transfers the caller to the appropriate first responder agency (Police, Fire or BC Ambulance).

In addition, by having E-Comm provide initial emergency call hand-ling service, the regional districts believe they’ll be in a better position to take advantage of Next Generation 9-1-1 technology.

Until the change this fall to E-Comm, 9-1-1 PSAP calls will continue to be answered by staff in the Southeast District Operational Communica-tions Centre.   Within the service area of the nine regional districts dur-ing 2013, a total of 226,796 9-1-1 calls were received and answered by the OCC based in Kelowna.

“We are pleased to partner with the Regional District of Central Oka-nagan and are committed to ensuring residents of all nine regional dis-tricts continue to receive high-quality, responsive 9-1-1 public safety answer point service 24-hours a day,” says E-Comm President & CEO David Guscott.  “E-Comm is focused on helping to create safer com-munities in B.C. through excellence in public-safety communication, and we believe that an integrated approach is a key element in achiev-ing that vision.”

The Golden Women’s Resource Centre is inviting Golden women and girls to be part of a very important project.

The centre is looking for women to volun-teer their time as contributors, and join its Panel of Women (POW).

A Status of Women Canada-funded project called the Community Coordination for Safe-ty in Relationships (CCSR) is looking for ideas and perspectives to help guide the direction of its programs and activities. And they want Golden women to provide that perspective.

The POW is comprised of women from dif-ferent backgrounds and bring different experiences to the table.

These women should be concerned com-munity members who want to see legitimate change happen around violence in relation-ships through prevention and increased ser-vice support.

They are also looking for women who have been through and/or are living with violence, are at risk of violence and sexual assault, have experience working with social services (as providers or as clients) or are survivors of family violence, intimate partner violence, and/or sexual assault.

The panel will be review current project activities and provide feedback and action ideas based on recommendations made in the Gender-Based Analysis Report. The analysis was conducted in Golden in the fall of 2012, and identified 17 recommendations and four key activities to addressing the issue of vio-lence in our community.

Feedback and ideas from the POW will be considered by the CCSR Team when imple-menting priority items.

There will be an information session and luncheon on July 24 from noon to 2 p.m. to review project activities and outcomes thus far. There will be a lot of room for participa-tion.

If you would like to participate, contact Sarah Wegelin at 250-344-5317 or [email protected]. Women will be allowed to partici-pate anonymously if they wish.

To date the CCRS team has developed the Golden Integrated Case Assessment Team to provide increased safety for women who are living in violent relationships where her life or the lives of her children are at risk; worked with Youth to develop a Youth Media Project.

Currently the team is working on a program for boys titled: Coaching Boys Into Men and is looking into community prevention and awareness training.

The Town of Golden Council voted to renew their Gas Tax Agreement with the federal government after the original 10-year agreement expired.

Golden had been receiving about $203,000 annually through the agreement, which was to be spent on a variety of infrastructure needs in the communities, subject to conditions. A Renewed Gas Tax Agreement was announced earlier this year, and Golden received the written agreement.

There are some small changes, but essentially the spirit, intent, format, and ongoing reporting requirements are much the same.

“It’s actually loosened a bit. The Gas Tax can be used for pretty much everything now, it used to be restricted,” said Jon Wilsgard, chief administrative officer with the Town of Golden.

Gas tax agreement renewed for 10 years

ELCSAG partnered up with the Early Childhood Develop-ment Coalition (ECDC) and Golden Community Resour-ces Society (GCRS) for the successful bid. ELCSAG will now receive $52,000 per year from the B.C. government as part of the agreement to host the test centre, which will allow for the hiring of a part-time facilitator to oversee the facilities programming.

The facility could also bene-fit programs that are current-ly running already but are in need of more space.

“For example Bubbly Babies is a program that is run through public health, and they offer a great program that parents love to attend,” McCullough said. “But it’s now being run in the hospi-tal and they find their num-bers are declining and they believe it is because parents don’t want to go to the hospi-tal. So this is going to be a real-ly warm and welcoming and friendly place for families to go. It’s like a family drop-in centre.”

McCullough isn’t sure when the facility might open its doors, but hopes that it will be

up and running sometime this fall.

The news of the test centre comes just over a week after ELCSAG sent in its $500,000 grant application to the Prov-ince for its early learning and child care hub. A deci-sion for that application isn’t expected until next month,

but McCullough doesn’t believe the successful bid for the Early Years Centre will hin-der the grant application for the early learning hub.

“I think if anything it strengthens our application. It shows that our community is dedicated to the early years,” she said.

Built in in the early 80s, the Gold-en Museums Outdoor Exhibit Build-ing was built on wooden footings that over the last 30 years had deteriorat-ed so much the front face of the build-ing was twisted and the doors no long-er lined up or would shut.  We are pleased to announce that thanks to grants from the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program and CKCA the build-ing has been completely restored.

At 30 plus years the old building was close to the end of its life. Water would run through the building dur-ing normal spring runoff and was causing damage to the artifacts inside Local contractor Will Cunningham Construction began the work in ear-ly May.

The artifacts were removed and safely stored and then the real work began. The large doors in the front of the building were removed and Cun-ningham created braces to steady the building while the whole thing was lifted to make room for the footings to be dug by hand.  Once the footings were dug forms were built and con-crete poured that would act as foot-ings as well as sills for the front of the building.

Once the concrete cured work start-ed to realign the front of the building including changing the placement of

the doors.  The entire front and both ends of the building had to be sheet-ed with new plywood as the old ply-wood was too weather damaged. Next the entire interior of the building was sheeted to allow us to use the walls for display purposes. Viewing platforms surrounded by ¾ minus gravel were installed in each of the three exhib-it rooms allowing for a smooth transi-tion into each room.

To finish it off both the interior and the exterior of the building were painted. The interior was painted a

bright white that brightens the areas for the viewing public. The exter-ior has been painted to match other buildings on the museum grounds making it all much more cohesive.

Thank you to our major grantors; CKCA and Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Program, for their contribu-tions as well as to those who donated to the project Golden Truck Loggers Association and the Columbia Valley Credit Union. We couldn’t have done it without you!

CP trespasser

On June 28, Golden RCMP responded to a reported trespassing on CP rail prop-erty at 3 a.m. The train master had noted a male carrying a guitar case at the tail end

of the train. The male was located and identified as a Grand Forks resident. He was escorted off the property.

Incident at local motel

Shortly after 1 a.m, on June 29, a male arrived at a local motel and asked to see one of the rooms. He was taken to view the room and promptly shut the door locking himself inside.

The clerk called police explaining that it was not unusual for a person to see the room before paying but the male had locked himself inside without paying and was refusing to open the door.

When police arrived and entered the room the male had already departed. The bedding was found disturbed but no other damage was noted.

Bar fight

Also on June 29, police responded to a disturbance at a local pub at 2 a.m. It was reported that six males were fighting outside the establishment. When officers arrived they located one male who was bleeding from his nose.

Witnesses described a verbal confrontation between two males, one of whom was dressed as a pirate. It was reported that the pirate sucker punched the other male resulting in the bloody nose. With the situation diffused the person involved quick-ly decided it was best to make his way home and call it a night. No charges were laid.

Dog in danger

Police responded to a reported dog in distress which had been left inside a parked vehicle on July 1. Police located the vehicle and dog, whose owner arrived on scene within moments. The dog was found to be okay. The officer spoke with the owner and discussed the poor judgment of having left the dog in the vehicle on a very hot day.

Male found deceased on Moonraker trails

On July 2, Golden RCMP were notified that a male had been discovered deceased on the Moonraker trails south of Golden. Police and Golden and District Search and Rescue responded to the area, which is a popular mountain biking trail, and located the 38 year old male, a resident of Golden. The man was later identified as Sean Schacher. He had been known to be riding the trails that evening and was fam-iliar with the area. The death does not appear suspicious and the resulting investiga-tion has been passed on to the B.C. Coroners Service.

On June 30, a single vehicle struck a traffic pole near Tim Hortons on Highway 1. The car was reportedly swerving to avoid another vehicle when it went off the road. No injuries were reported at the scene. Joel Tansey/Star Photo

- I SURMISE -By Jessica Schwitek

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage

Motorists on B.C. highways are going to be driving a lit-tle bit faster this sum-mer as the speed limit increases are rolled out throughout the next two months.

Drivers heading west towards Revelstoke will see the limit increased to 100 km/h in the sections that don’t go through the national parks.

I don’t expect to see much of an impact, as many drivers are exceeding that already anyway. But there are a few other changes that I am quite happy to see.

Even the section on the Coquihalla that has been increased to 120 km/h, the only place in the province with such a high limit, won’t make much of a difference. Many parts of that highway are three lanes, and cars zip past you like you’re crawling if you go 120.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture has made a commitment to improve regu-lations regarding slower moving vehicles. The ministry’s safety review revealed this to be a risk on B.C. highways.

To mitigate the risk, they will “Bring for-ward changes to the Motor Vehicle Act to give police better tools, through clearer language, to enforce the requirement for slower vehicles to keep right.”

If they follow through with this commitment, I believe it will have a real impact on highway safe-ty.

I don’t want to imply that slow drivers are to blame for most highway accidents...it is the frus-trated drivers who are stuck behind slow driv-ers who are taking the biggest risks. However if we remove the source of frustration, or at least reduce it as much as possible, then the danger-ous and downright stupid risks these drivers take will also reduce.

To do this, the ministry will be putting up more, and clearer signage asking motorists to keep right. And for the first time, there will also be a pilot project in which they put signage on High-way 4 asking motorists with five or more vehicles following them to pull over and let them pass.

With the many kilometres of B.C. highways that are windy and single lane, this will hopefully take the road rage down a few notches. Being the last car in a line of 20, stuck behind a car going 20 below the speed limit throughout the entire curvy section of highway is one of the most frus-trating experiences ever.

That in no way justifies trying to pass that vehicle over a double solid line. But hopefully now, those frustrating situations will become less frequent, and make our highways safer for every-one.

BC Hydro

Dear editor,

Earlier this year I phoned BC Hydro over billing me for hydro use. The lady at Hydro told me that they were just taking averages and that they would be reading my meter in the future. As it turns out they read my meter in late May or early June of this year.

I received a letter the other day saying I have a $150 credit. What I don’t like here is that if I did not pay those bills, I would have been charged interest.

How many people are in the same scam as me?Look at the extra money that Hydro is using that does

not belong to them.

Anne AndersonCourtenay

Speed Limits

To the editor:

I just heard about the new increase to a certain amount of provincial high-ways in B.C., and as much as I support the idea I believe that they should have a sign that reads: ‘Seasonal Maximum’ and have the limit (on highways like the Coquihalla (both 97C and 5) from Westbank/Kamloops to Merritt/Hope) be increased to 140 km/h for the months that can handle the speed.

As being able to do that limit (and I’ve had others pass me at 160 km/h+) when the roads are bone dry, with no other vehicles or rigs in sight, and being capable of stopping a lot quicker than how it would be with doing 140 at Thanksgiving.

I agree with how that could/should be ruled as a seasonal speed limit, the same way that they have the flashing ambers warning you to put your chains on and make sure you have decent tires for when there are massive winter conditions ahead.

So, if you can legally do 70 km/h (by using your road sense) in the winter time with or without chains, why not legally use your road sense and do 140 km/h while driving in the summer time with no need to ‘constantly’ think more than twice about what’s ahead.

Pipeline

Editor,

The very recent decision by the federal government approving the Enbridge Pipeline that will transport bitumin, flies in the face of the majority of British Col-umbians that are opposed to this project.

Apparently, Stephen Harp-er and his government have chosen to ignore the wishes of many to satisfy the few.

Hopefully, Canadian vot-ers will remember this arro-gant action the next time they cast their votes.

A boat load of stars to the newlyweds that dropped off there beau-tiful flowers to Durand Manor for the residents to enjoy.

A sky full of multicol-ored stars to the Town of Golden for the awe-some fireworks display.

Stingers to those people who took June 30 as a holiday and then worked July 1. The day off is supposed to be to commemorate the

beautiful country that we live in!

Stingers to the B.C. gov’t for allowing chil-dren in pubs. That’s supposed to be a nice place to escape chil-dren!

Stars to all the amazing volunteers that made the Canada Day fes-tivities in town such a wonderful success.

Stingers to people who spread rumours around

town without knowing the facts.

Stars to the Golden Taps for their new menu that includes butter chicken!

Stingers to the red-plated driver who was driving unsafely on the highway! Thanks for cut-ting me off, jerk!

Stars to Carmen at the Overwaitea deli for excellent customer service!

Do you think it was a good idea for the B.C. government to raise the speed limits on certain highways?

“Sometimes a slower speed limit is good in certain sections, but as

long as the raises are safe areas I am fine with it.”

“People don’t seem to be taking

notice of the speed limits as it is. They are

already driving too fast.”

Golden point of view

Abner Inzunza

Go to www.thegoldenstar.net to have your say.

“I’m not sure. There are some highways where I wouldnt want to

see the limit raised but I think I’m okay

with it.”

Comparing school systemsDear editor,

I would like to put today’s classroom into perspective, and compare to a classroom 30 years ago.The size hasn’t changed, but 30 years ago, kids who didn’t meet the requirements failed. Some-

one decided that failing is bad for your self-esteem, so year after year students keep getting pushed through. That accounts for a third of the average classroom. Among that third are the “individ-ual education plan.” The kids who need help, the kids who without the support of teachers’ assist-ants would learn nothing at all. The next third are ESL students. These kids have also been pushed through. How can you graduate, but not speak English? So that leaves the other third – they’re the forgotten “normal” kids, who are squeaking by with a bit of education after the teacher is done with the rest of the class.

The first third just simply needs parents to learn accountability both for themselves and their kids, and the second group should come to school with a good command of the English language.

And the third group – good luck to you.Another big difference between now and 30 years ago is that the people who used to fail high

school could go get a job and make a living. You can’t do that now. Even high school grads will only ever qualify for minimum wage jobs and need subsidies from the taxpayer.

And the last major difference between today’s classroom and one 30 years ago is respect. Kids used to respect their teachers. Now they don’t respect much.

Recycling systemDear editor,

I used to pride myself on the number of blue bags I could get out-side on the curb every two weeks. Just throw everything into it. Easy!

I have watched older neighbours struggle with these blue boxes when before they could adjust the weight of the bags by not fill-ing them as much. As much as I squish and squash, my paper bin is overflowing within a week. I am now ashamed to say that I am throw-ing my glass out into the regular garbage as they wouldn’t take my nicely cleaned, tied-up bag of glass.

And no lids? I actually laughed at the stupidity recently as it poured Wednesday morning filling the boxes to the top with water.

I really detest this “new and improved” system. It will only increase garbage in the landfills as, come on let’s admit it, most people will not work to make this work.

Not me of course. I will continue to squish, squash, heave and ho my way to the curb. I think anyways.......

Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone.There are, of course, those with the diagnosis. Then

there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers.

Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society is forced to bear the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc.

It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strat-egies and treatments that, when adhered to, can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives.

Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental ill-ness, things would be different.

For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality – to keep the door closed and the windows shuttered, so to speak. Not the healthiest approach, really, but common nonetheless.

And while time has led to strides in the realm of men-tal illness, it has done less for society’s acceptance of it as a disease.

Many worthwhile stories do not get told in these pages because of the stigma attached to mental illness; the fear people have of being branded by going public with their struggle.

Mental illness are still two words that, despite so-called progress, few afflicted with the likes of depres-sion or schizophrenia or paranoia dare to mutter out-side – sometimes even inside – their immediate family.

Many of these individuals are parents, siblings, friends or colleagues of those living with a mental ill-ness.

A few are those individuals themselves, who have taken that brave step into the spotlight.

No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control.

The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do.

Those who suffer from mental illness should not need to hide

Dolphins swim a mile in annual event

Top, Goldenfish swimmer Rylan Brunner swims laps dur-ing the Golden Dolphin’s annual Mile Swim. Volunteers, above, help out by counting laps for the swimmers. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo

Jessica [email protected]

The Golden Dolphins Swim Club hosted their annual Mile Swim last week.

The event allows the entire club the opportun-ity to swim a mile (64 laps) as quickly as they can, which is quite a feat for some of the younger swimmers, who were asked to swim as many lengths as possible in an hour (most didn’t quite make 64).

The combined num-ber of lengths swam by the three groups (Goldfish, Jun-iors and Seniors) was 3922 lengths.

That is the equivalent of 61.3 miles or approximately 99 kilometres … which is just under the distance between Golden and Radium (103 kms).

Parents, coaches, swim-mers and volunteers came down to the pool on Thurs-day July 3 to help out with the event.

This weekend, July 12 and 13, the Dolphins are hosting their own swim meet, and are expecting clubs from all over the Okanagan.

Golden will get a taste of Italy when Riccardo Tesi and Banditaliana take over Spirit Square

Joel [email protected]

Golden will get a taste of Italy on July 16 when Riccardo Tessi and Bandital-iana pump out some smooth jazz and trad-itional Italian tunes at Spirit Square.

Over its 20 plus years as a group, Ban-ditaliana has earned itself a place among the top Italian groups

in the world. While Tesi believes their sound has evolved, the ensemble also hasn’t abandoned its roots.

“Each of us have become more and more of an expert with our own instru-ments,” he said. “We have changed, but we are also not com-pletely different from the beginning.”

The group com-

bines a range of dif-ferent sounds that results in fresh, upbeat music that doesn’t limit itself when it comes to innovation, while also sticking to its Italian roots.

“We don’t just play a traditional Italian style,” Tesi said. “It’s more of a personal mix of many differ-ent things.”

Tesi, an inter-

nationally renowned artist, plays the dia-tonic button accor-dion, also known as the melodeon. Tesi taught himself how to play after strug-gling with the guitar.

“It was good to be a bad guitar play-er, because then I had to learn how to play another instru-ment,” he laughed. “Sometimes you can’t imagine how quickly life can change.”

Over the years, Banditaliana has taken part in some of the biggest fes-tivals in the world and has released four albums. Their eponymous debut album was named Album of the Year by the Folk Bulletin ref-erendum and they have gained world-wide acclaim for their enthusiastic live performances.

Despite the fact that their songs are sung exclusively in Ital-ian, Banditaliana has developed a strong following outside of Italy, including in many Anglophone countries. They have

toured through much of Eastern and Western Canada in the past, although this will be their first show in Golden.

“I think (anglo-phones) like us because our music sounds a bit exot-ic,” Tesi said. “They appreciate music from Italy.”

Riccardo Tesi and Banditaliana will be joined by local band Krista & the Kry-babies.

Riccardo Tesi and his group, Banditaliana, will bring over 20 years of experience to the stage when they perform at the July 16 Summer Kicks concert. Photo Submitted

The B.C. government has begun allowing "happy hour" discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices.

Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3.

The release of the regulations Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price.

The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The B.C. government's liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes.

The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association issued a statement reminding its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. Licensees are also allowed to transfer small amounts of stock from one to the other if they run out of a particular product.

In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the govern-ment's Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for "ladies night" specials or "team night" for players in uniform.

Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.Minors are also permitted in pubs and similar establishments that wish to permit family-friendly din-

ing. These establishments will be able to allow minors in until 10 p.m. at night. However, businesses that don’t wish to change their current operating models don’t have to.

In January, the provincial government endorsed 73 recommendations in a report on B.C. liquor laws.Those changes include increasing the variety of alcohol available at sporting events and allowing

mixed-spirit drinks at music festivals and in sports venues. The province will also allow liquor sales at grocery stores.

So far, 17 of the 73 recommendations have been implemented.Government aims to have most in place by next spring.With files from Tom Fletcher

BC liquor law changes have begun

Evaluating properties has become much more efficient in Radium Hot Springs, where BC Assess-ment has surveyed the village with a camera-mounted van.

Comprehensive photos were taken by the innovative technology of 435 single family homes in Radium on Thursday, June 26th.

The van has successfully surveyed many regions of the province, and used Radium as its pilot pro-ject for the Columbia Valley. The van produced imagery of properties in Radium. BC Assess-ment’s data bank will update its  database of Radium properties, which will now contain more comprehensive info.

“When you are trying to map a town onto a piece of paper, you need certain points surveyed proper,” said Village of Radium Hot Springs chief financial officer Karen Sharp.

“It basically gives you a visual aspect of the com-munity.”

The data will include civic addresses, public utility locations, and the village’s geographic-al terrain. Information gathered will be shared between the Village of Radium and BC Assess-ment.

“As the Crown corporation responsible for accurately valuing all properties in B.C., we are always looking for innovative ways to provide more timely, accurate, equitable and fair assess-ments to all property owners,” said Scott Sitter, an assessor with BC Assessment.

Images depicting people on the property, pri-vate signage other than street addresses, or the inside of a residence — through either a door, window, or garage — will be altered or excluded from the database.

Municipalities all over the province have expressed frustration with BC Assessment’s pro-cess, including Golden.

The government is asking for answers from the company that wants to build an expanded pipeline.The Province of British Columbia has filed a motion with the National Energy Board requesting that

Kinder Morgan provide more detailed information about the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion project.

As part of the National Energy Board's review of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Expansion pro-ject, the Province submitted more than 70 information requests dealing with maritime and land-based spill response, prevention and recovery systems.

In a number of cases, Kinder Morgan's responses to the information requests do not provide suffi-cient information. That makes it difficult for the Province to evaluate whether the Trans Mountain Expansion project will include world-leading marine and land oil spill systems.

World-leading marine and land oil spill systems are two of the five requirements that must be satisfied for B.C. to support any heavy oil pipeline.

Turning back the pages: Couple wed 24 hours after first meeting

The following article was prepared by Clara Graham for Golden Mem-ories.

Mr. and Mrs. John-son were an interest-ing couple. They ran the stopping place at Wapta. They had met first at Donald during the town‘s heydey as a con-struction camp on the C.P.R. mainline many years before. Mrs. Johnson was Swedish and could not speak a word of English when she met her husband, an Irish Canadian. They were married twenty-four hours after their first meet-ing. Promptly the bride and groom went farming and opened this stop-ping place.

One of Mrs. John-

son’s earliest accom-plishments after her marriage was the use of plenty of swear words. As she knew no English, she was sure that what “Yon son” taught her was alright, and so, when people went to the house, she invari-ably swore at them, not because they were unwelcome but because it was the proper thing to do, so it seemed to her. Even in later years she laughed about her early efforts with the English lan-guage and still con-tinued to punctu-ate her speech with plenty of fireworks. Her expletives were meant for inspira-tion, emphasis, or maybe just force of habit.

While his wife cooked the meals and served the trav-elling public, “Yon son” played the host, regaled his audi-ences with clever boyhood episodes or the last install-ment of the current serial running in the weekly newspaper.

Mrs. Johnson ate in the kitch-en while the guests were served meals,

family style, in the dining room. When someone required a

second or third cup of coffee, Mr. John-son called her by hit-

ting his spoon sharp-ly against his cup and she came run-ning.

The big dining room, always clean, and in the winter warm and comfort-able, did not con-tain much in the way of decoration.

A calendar and two stuffed crested mer-gansers mounted on a stone, adorned the walls. The trav-ellers’ horses were fed and stabled in the adjoining barn by the two Johnson boys.

Upstairs, where the guests slept, cot-ton partitions sep-arated the sleep-ing rooms. Every-body went to bed by lamp or candlelight. Modem bathrooms hadn’t caught up with the majority of folk in those days but each room was equipped with a hand basin, jug, of water, towels, etc.

Their fare was

plain and whole-some homemade bread, plain cake, home grown vege-tables, pork fried, boiled, and roasted. None of the Johnson family went hunt-ing therefore we got no wild goat which appeared to be the staple food of many of the neighbors.

During the win-ter they occasional-ly got ling. The boys chopped a hole in the ice of the Col-umbia, suspended some hooks previ-ously baited with pork, and left a lighted lantern by the hole. Next mor-ning there would be a ling on one of the hooks so we all promptly had a change of diet.

Early in the fall of 1909, Earl Grey, the Governor General of Canada, and his party, including his daughters and Lord Lascelles, made a trip from Golden to

Windermere on the little river steamer, “Isabel”. Mrs. John-son had the contract of supplying the boat with butter.

They took this commodity down to the Columbia and waited on the bank until ten o’clock that night, but the boat did not appear. It must have been stuck on a sand bar.

Earl Grey’s des-tination that night was Edenhouse, a beautiful summer home, on Winder-mere Lake owned by Professor Adami of Montreal and his wife, daughter of Lord Strathcona.

The Royal Box, a small building somewhat resem-bling a garage in shape, was Earl Grey’s special abode.

He loved the mountains and trav-elled through them, and once traversed Earl Grey Pass.

Enduro bike race a showcase for Golden’s mountain bike trailsJoel [email protected]

Golden’s extensive mountain bike trails are getting ready to be showcased to riders across West-ern Canada. The Kootenay Rock-ies Enduro Series will be making a stop in Golden on July 19-20 in the series’ third of five races.

Enduro is a fairly new format for biking that includes un-timed climbs and timed descents along a series of different courses.

David Gagnon, owner of High-er Ground Mountain Sports, is part of a local group that is helping to organize the event. According to Gagnon, the expos-ure that Golden’s trail network will get from this event will be a big boost to the tourism industry on a whole.

“It’s awesome, we need to pro-mote more and more races to attract more people in here. We’ve got such an amazing play-ground,” said Gagnon. “It’s good for the industry, from A to Z. It’s good for the town, good for the bike shops…the more people that know about our amazing trails the more we can develop them.”

Megan Rose, and a competitive biker herself, started the Enduro series this year.

“I have (an) event degree back-ground so it kind of all fell in line…I thought I would jump on

this opportunity while the new format is still kind of getting out there and starting up,” Rose said.

Rose chose Golden as a race site after testing out the terrain last fall, and is planning to return to the area for next year’s series.

“(The trail system) is great…I would have liked to have checked out Mt. Shadows and Mt. Seven, but I think that is definitely going to be on the schedule next year,” she said.

On the first day of the two day event, riders will start at Cedar Lake and compete along the Moonraker trails before racing at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort the following day. Times from across the weekend will be added up to determine the winners.

The top male competitor will receive $400 and the top female competitor will take home $300 from the $1500 prize pool. Sep-arate categories are available for Masters (age 40+) and Juniors (19 and under) and top runners in those categories will receive gear and equipment as prizes.

Volunteers are needed to help marshall at various points along the course and will receive a t-shirt, lunch and snacks for their help.

For registration information or to find out how to volunteer, visit bcenduro.com/kr-home.html or contact Rose at [email protected].

The newly formed Kootenay Rockies Enduro Series will be making a stop in Golden on July 19-20. The event will bring in competitors from across Western Canada and will have a $1,500 prize pool for the top class. Photo Submitted

Ruth Alvina Marlene (Bjorkman) White passed away peacefully in the East Kootney RegionalHospital in her seventy seventh year.

Born in Canal Flats in nineteen thirty six Ruth married John, the love of her life in nineteen fi ft y four. Ruth and John had fi ve children, who gave them nine grandchildren and fi ve great-grandchildren, their children were their whole world. Ruth devoted her life to her family, and to Ruth anyone that came to her home was family, always off ering a warm meal, a place to sleep and never hesitating to speak her mind when she thought you needed to hear it.

In her younger years Ruth was an avid bowler spending her winters at the bowling alley and as soon as the sun was shining and there was no snow on the ground you would fi nd Ruth with her fi shing pole, camping at the lake.

Ruth lived her life to the fullest, and made each moment count, especially when it came to her grandkids, who always knew they could count on her to be there for anything, never missing a big moment in their lives.

Well known within her communities, Ruth was never a stranger when someone needed a hand, or a homemade cookie.

Ruth will be greatly missed by those she has left behind, and whose lives she has touched. Devoted wife to the late John White, Beloved Mother of Betty (Ed), Doug (Wendy), Debbie (Mike), Darrell (Karen) and Don (Jodie), Proud Grandmother of Tammy (Sean), Melody (Vincent), Michael (Joanne), Stephanie, Bailey, Kelsie (Devon), Rylee, Seth and Olivia, Proud Great-Grandmother of Kennedi, Zakk, Ava, Zoe and Dylan. Ruth was predeceased by her loving son in law Frank (Betty/Tammy) and her husband John.

Ruth’s family would like to extend their gratitude for those at the East Kootney Regional Hospital for the care and time given to her during her hour of need.

In leiu of fl owers, donations can be made in Ruth’s honour to the Heart and Stroke foundation.

Sean Schacher, Senior CNC operator.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the sudden passing of our colleague and friend, Sean Schacher. Sean’s commitment to our organization for over 10 years contributed greatly to our success within our valley, and throughout North America. Sean’s smile and unwavering positive attitude will be greatly missed, and we will remain grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside of him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, he will be greatly missed.

SEAN SCHACHER1976 - 2014

It is with great sadness that Sean left us suddenly at the tender age of 38. Sean was born and raised in Parson, B.C., graduated high school at GSS in 1994, and went to school to be a small engine mechanic and lived in Golden. Sean loved the outdoors and all it offered. We can all take solace in knowing he died doing something he loved, mountain biking. Sean leaves behind the loves of his life his wife Chantalle and two daughters Ryla and Tia. He also leaves behind his parents Anna & Rick, sister Paige, grandparents Art & Marie Chapman, in-laws Joanne & Rudy Hetu, sister-in-law Corrine (Calvin), brother-in-law Daniel (Jamie), nieces & nephews, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and life long friends. There will be a celebration of life for Sean on Friday, July 11 at 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the trust account at CVCU.

"We can only imagine the celebration as two brothers Ryan & Sean meet again".

Sean Richard SchacherFebruary 29, 1976 - July 2, 2014

Golden DolphinsSubmitted

The Golden Dolphins really turned up the heat this weekend in Revelstoke.

With 43 swimmers attending the swim meet, almost all swimmers were able to get best times and a handful achieved a spot on the podium.

Receiving a Gold medal in his div-ision, a Provincial Qualifying time, and breaking a Revelstoke Meet record for the event, 50 Fly with a 27.49 was Josh Hiraoka. Also standing on the podium was Talon and Thorin Malaka, Zara Johnson and Rochelle Bertrand. Pla-cing second in 4 out of 5 events was Kaelan Malaka, which prevented him from reaching the podium. 

Lucy Wilson was one of our new-er swimmers that completed all of her events with best times and a smile on her face. Another new swimmer, Enzo Sor-et, completed his very first swim meet reaching finals in 2 freestyle events and bettering his time each race. Along side was teammate Kayla Lush who took a summer off and managed to crush her previous times.

Our youngest swimmers at the meet, Rylan Brunner, Ella Janes, Thane Malaka, Katrina McClean and Malcolm Russell, all were willing to step outside their comfort zones by taking on chal-lenging races and completing them suc-cessfully with best times.

Setting a good example was Devon

Tress, who willingly provided assistance to younger swimmers and was able to better all of his times at the meet.  Div-ision 4 girls relay, Neva Dalinghaus, Meghan Oslund, Ash-lee Tress, and

Quinn Morgan, came together to show team sprit, hard work and determin-ation by medaling in the Medley and Freestyle relays.

Coaches Caprice Rosentreter and

Hailey Kehler are extremely proud of all the swimmers who attended this weekends swim meet and look forward to more time crushing swims this com-ing weekend in Kamloops.

The Golden Dolphins returned from Revelstoke with some hardware. From left, Thorin Malaka (Silver), Zara Johnson (Silver), Josh Hiraoka (Gold), Rochelle Bertrand (Bronze), and Talon Malaka (Bronze). Photo Submitted
