Spilli Chili Cookoff

KHR Dyke in ‘good shape’ says expertJoel [email protected]

Dave Cooper, a specialist in river engineer-ing from Matrix Solutions, delivered a presenta-tion at Town council’s May 27 meeting. Cooper outlined the various flood risks that are present along the Kicking Horse River based on a study that was just completed in February.

“Overall the dyke system is fairly well armoured and in good shape,” Cooper said.

However, he did point out some potential risks. The effect that sedimentation could have on future flood levels and the high-energy nature of the Kicking Horse makes it a situation that always needs to be monitored. As was seen this past win-ter, some winter hazards exist as well.

“The other risk is ice jams from ice coming

down into the canyon. With all of these risks we have to come up with our protection guidelines,” he said.

Among the data that Cooper shared with the meeting was information regarding the max-imum flow of the river going back as early as 1912 (with a very large data gap between 1921 and 1974).

The Kootenay economy may still be on the upswing, according to a recent report.

A new report from the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC (CPABC) reveals that the Kooten-ays continued to show signs of economic recovery in 2013.

The BC Check-Up, Regional Edition shows that for the third consecutive year, the region saw job cre-ation, lower unemployment, and an increase in cap-ital investment.

“As we continue to recover from the recession, our economy is gaining strength, with continued expan-sions in the labour market putting the Kootneays ahead of other regions in the province in terms of job creation,” said Cindy Popescul, CPA, CA, with BDO Canada LLP in Cranbrook.

The report found that in 2013, the Kootenays saw the addition of 3,100 new jobs. Regional employment swelled to 77,900, up by 4.1 per cent, surpassing the pre-recession high of 76,700 in 2007. This drove the region’s unemployment rate down to 5.2 per cent,

which is the second lowest in the province in 2013 and below the provincial average of 6.6 per cent.

Job growth was largely driven by the services-produ-cing sector. The trade industry added 1,800 jobs, while transportation and warehousing, and accommodation and food services industries added 1,000 new jobs each. Other significant service sector job gains were reported in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing, health care and social assistance, and information, culture and recreation industries. The health care and social assistance industry also grew substantially in the past five years, and has fuelled two thirds of the growth in the region’s service sector employment.

New developments in 2014 will continue to improve the Kootenay’s employment and economy. Several large projects have the potential to proceed, including the Jumbo Glacier Resort ($900 million), Teck’s water treatment facilities in Sparwood ($600 million), the Bingay Main Coal Project ($480 million), and Phase Two of Teck Coal’s Line Creek Mine ($140 million).

The economy will also be driven from increased global demand for B.C.’s resources, primarily in the forestry industry. Rising housing starts in the U.S. and demand from China means continued demand for

B.C. lumber.However, a surplus of coal in world markets com-

bined with slowing growth in China has further reduced coal prices during the first quarter of 2014, and some North American producers have cut back production and staff. It is anticipated that the five East Kootenay operations will remain busy through-out 2014.

“The economy is on its path to full recovery,” said Popescul. “However, we need to remain cautiously optimistic. The region’s high rate of consumer insol-vencies confirms that not all of the Kootenay’s resi-dents benefited from the improvements in the labour market. The tight job market also makes it challen-ging for young people to remain in the region and this poses a risk on permanently losing valuable human capital.”

The Kootenay Development Region comprises the Kootenay-Boundary, Central Kootenay, and East Koo-tenay Regional Districts, and accounts for nearly 3.2 per cent of the provincial population.

The BC Check-Up, Regional Edition looks at each region as a place to work, invest, and live. The report is available online at: www.bccheckup.com.

Golden Secondary School’s Grade 10 class put together a very special media dis-play at the Golden Youth Centre to show-case some of the important lessons they have learned this year.

Golden’s Community Coordina-tion for Safety in Relationships (CCSR) team, which consists of a number of local professionals from different fields, approached the high school to see if they could be involved in educating youth on topics such as healthy relationships, sex-ual assault and consent.

This was after a 2012 Gender Based Analysis in Golde,n conducted by the same committee (in which 213 local youth participated), revealed that pre-vention programs for youth were needed in the community, particularly relation-ship training.

The CCSR decided to bring in the Safe Teen Program from the lower mainland, which teaches youth the skills they need to handle potentially violent situations, how to be assertive, as well as self defence for girls, and the prevalence of the boy code that exists in our society.

In addition to these classes, with fund-ing from Columbia Basin Trust’s Com-munity Initiatives and Affected Areas Pro-gram, the CCSR team was able to bring Safe Teen to Golden to speak with the Grade 10 students as well as parents.

The showcase included a variety of mediums to discuss the themes of safe-ty in relationships and gender based vio-

lence, including poetry, songs, videos, multiple posters and three dimensional displays.

“Some of the work they have created is very powerful, we’re really proud of what they have done,” said Kristy Archer, the

CCSR project co-ordinator at the Youth Centre showcase.

“We asked them to create awareness-raising tools around the subjects covered in class, that we could then bring to the greater community, which is what we’re

doing tonight.”Only one student was brave enough to

perform her work live at the event, much of it was shown through video. Naomi Lenstra performed the poem she wrote during the Planning 10 class.

Smart Cyclists Ride on the Right Side of the RoadAs humans, we are predominantly right handed. In North America we drive on the right side,

tend to walk on the right side and I suspect that this right side bias carries over into many other areas that we are not even aware of. I learned as a young police o� cer that if I was attempting to catch a driver that I had lost sight of I would be more successful if I turned right instead of left at the next intersection. A smart cyclist will take advantage of this situation by always riding on the right had side.

A very high percentage of cycle crashes involve turning and crossing in tra� c at intersections. These are often busy places where drivers are trying to track many moving objects at once and determine a safe path for their intended direction of travel. Cyclists tend to be a smaller target that other vehicles in tra� c and tend to be ignored. If you are riding on the wrong side drivers are not looking for you there and this compounds the risk further. Wrong way riders can have up to four times the collision risk than those who ride properly on the right.

Riding on the sidewalk is also not safer than riding on the roadway. Drivers are watching for pedestrians on sidewalks, not fast moving bicycles. You can increase your risk by two to nine times if you ride on the sidewalk. There is also a signi� cant risk of colliding with pedestrians.

Ride in a straight line and choose your lane position wisely. If you are travelling at the speed of surrounding tra� c ride in the lane itself. If you are slower, ride on the right side but do not hug the curb. Drivers will try to take advantage of the room to squeeze by if you don’t take control of the situation by riding in the lane where there is no paved shoulder.

Finally, be courteous. Like slow drivers, give others the chance to pass.The author is a retired constable with many years of tra� c law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca.

The B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer Thursday with opposition MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones.

The government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consulta-tion with farmers around the province.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” shouted NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons, before storming out of the chamber as the opposition’s time ran out. Simons returned to withdraw his comments so he could vote against the legisla-tion.

Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farm-land uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Com-mission panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses.

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Mac-donald accused the government of adding social and economic considerations to farm-land as a pretext to undermine the commission’s independence.

“We are talking about important agricultur-al areas that will now be open to exclusions, that decision being made by a bunch of B.C. Liberal political hacks on criteria that are totally nebu-lous – to the extent that there’s even a provision to

add whatever else the cabinet wants to add,” Mac-donald said.

“It could be economic. It could be social. It could be anything.”

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criti-cism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve product-ive farmland.

Letnick used the example of a Peace River region farmer who was prevented from parking gas industry trucks on his land during winter to earn extra money.

“We as a government believe that there’s an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land,” Letnick said.

NDP leader John Horgan said a leaked 2012 email exchange between Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm suggests a “vendetta” against the ALC and a desire to weaken it for political gain.

Pimm, who was replaced as agriculture minister as he undergoes cancer surgery, issued an apol-ogy this week for his comments in the email.

Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Van-couver Island zones, which generate 85% of B.C.’s farm income.

“We are making it economic in areas with a shorter growing season, with less productive farm-land, to be able to continue to make land valu-able enough that they will pass it down to another family,” Clark said.

The College of the Rockies is hoping to offer a new program in Golden that uses some sophisticated tech-nology to give students a leg up when applying for jobs in the Canadian mining industry.

The Haul Truck Operator program has been a success at COTR’s Fernie and Cranbrook campuses and Karen Cathcart, campus manager in Golden, thinks this pro-gram would be a great addition to the Golden campus of the college.

“Given the mining industry and the number of people who are going to work up in Fort McMurray, and even the construction industry…people who have this skill will be able to work and having this certificate that says they are competent to drive these big massive haul trucks…it’s a growing employment trend right now,” Cathcart said.

As part of the program, students receive both class-room and hands on training through a state of the art simulator.

“When (students) are done this course, I would take them to a mine, I’d put them in a truck, and I’d sit in a jumpsuit and I’d let them drive. (The simulator) pre-pares them to do a walk around from a pre-trip to a post-trip,” said Darren Hood, one of the course’s instructors.

The simulator re-creates a variety of different scenar-ios during training and has students put through vari-ous real-life situations, including some with bad weather conditions and poor visibility.

Students who complete the four week program have found that they are that much more prepared for the real thing, but it isn’t just prospective employees who benefit from the training.

“(The program) is going to lessen the training time that any company has to put in,” said Hood. “Another advantage for companies is that if they hire 10 people off the street with no experience at all, after a month and a half they are lucky if they have five left. If people are tak-ing the expense and the time to do this course…they’re a little more committed.”

A mobile version simulator was on location in Gold-en last week in an effort to gauge interest in bringing the program here.

Cathcart says that the $7,500 program will only accept

five students in an effort to allow for maximum time with the simulator.

For more information on the program, visit Golden’s COTR campus or log on to www.cotr.bc.ca/haul-truck/.

The maximum flow of the river peaked at an all-time record-ed high in 1916, with recent highs seen in 2012 and 2007.

The study also looked at freeboard (or clearance) lev-els along the river to the top of the dyke. The provincial guide-line is to have 0.6m or greater of free-board based on the 200 year flood level. Some areas in Gold-en didn’t meet that standard, but some of those sections are only slightly lower than the 0.6m guide-line, often by mere centimetres.

“The only real cases where it’s a bit more is just downstream of the Highway (95)

bridge,” said Coop-er. “There are some spots there where it’s about 30 or 40 centi-metres lower.”

But, because of the Kicking Horse’s high velocity, Matrix

has recommended a free board of one metre. Priority loca-tions for improve-ment include the dykes by the camp-ground and the sec-tion behind the Col-

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

Some sections don’t meet standards

The Golden Museum is turning 40 and Goldenites are encouraged to join in on the anniver-sary celebration on June 5.

The museum was first discussed at a meeting of the newly formed Golden and District Histor-ical Society in 1968.

Over the next few years money was raised to fund a new building for the museum, with con-struction beginning in 1971. Its grand, public opening took place on June 1, 1974.

The celebration will serve as a way to show off what the museum has to offer for those who haven’t been in a while, or ever, and as a way to unveil some of the museum’s latest improve-ments.

“We’re renovating the outdoor exhibit building and it will be ready for this event as well,” said Colleen Palumbo, the museum’s manager.

“I’ll do some tours, and members of the historical society will be there to answer questions about some of the things in the museum.”

Guests at the anniversary will also have a chance to view some material that isn’t normally available for public viewing.

“People will be allowed to go into those areas that are normally not allowed,” Palumbo said. “They’ll be able to peak into the storage areas and see what it is that we’re protecting and the

kinds of things that we have.” The event will take place from 5-7 p.m. and will include live music courtesy of Travis and Larry

Pickering and a hamburger barbecue, while face painting will help keep the kids entertained.

The B.C. Teachers' Federation has notified school districts it will continue rotating strikes around the province this week, as negotiations continue to settle their long-running dispute over pay and staffing levels.

BCTF president Jim Iker notified the B.C. Pub-lic School Employers' Association in a letter Wed-nesday (May 29) afternoon.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender reiterat-ed the BCPSEA's latest offer of a $1,200 signing bonus and a six-year contract term, but indicated the union needs to modify its demands and stop strike action.

"I'm profoundly disappointed that while we're

still at the table, with all of the talk that's been going on, that children and parents and com-munities are continuing to be held hostage and put in the middle of this dispute," Fassbender said.

The Labour Relations Board heard arguments Thursday on whether the school districts can cut teacher pay 10 per cent in response to the union's withdrawal of services. At the time of publication the results were not released. A ruling is expected on June 4.

As part of the rotating strikes, School District 6 will be striking on Friday June 6. The schools in Golden will not be open, and the busses will not be running.

Up to date teachers strike information is avail-able at http://www.sd6.bc.ca.

Golden’s Robin Johnston didn’t win the top prize at the Miss Uni-verse Canada pageant but she couldn’t be happier with the adven-ture.

“The overall experience has been really positive. I’m really glad I did this,” she said.

After months of photo shoots, fundraiser planning and other preparations, Johnston flew to Toronto a few weeks ago for the final lead up toward the pageant itself.

“My experience in Toronto was incredible. It’s such a great city and everyone involved in the pageant was so kind. The pageant had us busy from day to night with rehears-als, photo shoots, videos, public appearances, and lunches and din-ners at some of Toronto’s finest res-taurants,” she said.

Despite all of the eyeballs focused on her during the pageant itself, and having to perform two separate dances, Johnston managed to keep her composure.

“The only time I felt nervous was about an hour before the prelim-inary show. My lips were trembling and I felt like I forgot all my chor-eography. All that nervousness went away once I was on stage,” she said.

Johnston recognizes that Gold-en had a lot to do with making her pageant experience what it was.

“The support from the commun-ity has been overwhelmingly posi-tive. Golden is such a wonderful place and I’m so proud of my home-town. All of my sponsors really made it possible for me to have this life changing experience,” she said.

With the experience of the pageant now behind her, Johnston hopes to finally be able to relax.

“I really need to catch up on sleep,” she said.

Teacher Strike

To the editor,

The government actions shows they are not supporting a well bal-anced school education in B.C.

Do you ever wonder why our B.C. premier and other minis-ters send their children to private schools? Of course they believe the quality of the public school is too low.

Thus one wonders, is there a hidden project to kill the quality of school education funds?

When I listen to Peter Fassbend-er, Minister Of Education, he tells us: “taxpayers do not want to pay for education.”

I say he surely did not ask me. I gladly pay for school education and teacher’s class composition rather than paying for bonuses for civil servants and politicians.

How is it possible that a liberal platform of Pierre Trudeau’s con-cept of a better education and bilingualism is not followed in B.C.?

Where are the journalists of today to challenge the lack of

charismatic future of this prov-ince for a skilled, intelligent population?

Only quality of school educa-tion can bring a population of hardworking, highly motivated labourers and intelligence into this province.

Who can give this massage to the premier and to the minister of education?

Please get involved regardless of your age.

Land Reserve

Editor,

The Agricultural Land Reserve created in the ear-ly 1970s, was developed for the obvious reason of preserving precious farmland.

It was too easy for the developers of the day to snatch up under- or semi-developed arable land for urban sprawl. It started to happen at an alarming rate, so it was needed and instituted by the government of the day.

The ALR has become a real success story in pro-tecting our ranges to produce dairy products, and our arable lands for fibre food source.

Except for the odd political diva trying to corruptly swindle the odd piece to pad their personal pension plans, it has worked relatively well.

Now the current provincial agricultural minister has conspired with B.C.’s oil and gas sector to divide the ALR into two separate zones with different pro-cesses.

Though the oil and gas sector decisions are backed by the federal government, this compromise by the B.C. Liberals guarantees the oil and gas sector access to any land in the province.

So now we’re back conspiring to swindling land out of the ALR.

Though energy is, without a doubt, a most import-ant issue, we can’t eat it.

Let’s just leave the ALR alone. It’s a government policy that works, and if it’s not broken, there’s no need to fix it. Stop Bill 24.

A very special presen-tation took place at the Golden Youth Centre last week. For those of you who didn’t make it, the presentation was a show-case of some of the work done by Golden Sec-ondary School students about what they learn-ed in their Planning 10 class.

As a special part of that class this year, the Com-munity Co-ordination for Safety in Relation-ships (made up of mem-bers from multiple community groups), went to the class to discuss a variety of topics surrounding healthy relationships, sexual assault and consent.

During the presentations, it was noted that this special project came to be because a 2012 Gender Based Analysis clearly demonstrated that healthy relationship training for youth was needed in our community.

I was a little surprised to hear that at such a young age, these students are already in need of healthy relationship training, so I took a look at the study (published at www.goldenwomencentre.ca). Some of the results were unsettling to say the least.

The study surveyed 213 children ages 10-19 (which is roughly 50 per cent of Golden youth). Each was presented with scenarios that reflect behaviours that might illustrate the presence of more serious violence, or can lead to gendered violence. They were asked how often they witnessed these kinds of behaviours.

There are too many to outline all the results in the column, but there were a few that stood out to be as particularly alarming.

Sixty per cent of females, and 48 per cent of males say they often/sometimes witness someone get-ting “seriously depressed” about things being said online. More than half of Golden students com-monly see someone get, not just bothered by, but seriously depressed over something said on Face-book.

The highest numbers came when the study inquired about homophobia. When asked if they often/sometimes say a group of people taunting someone, calling them gay (whether he or she is or not), 59 per cent of males and 74 per cent of females said yes.

But the most disturbing statistic showed that 24 per cent of males and 42 per cent of females often/sometimes see a girl get pressured into sex at a party. That is a scary number.

These statistics clearly show that youth need the tools to recognize healthy and unhealthy behaviour in relationships. And the presentations at the Youth Media Showcase show that the education is working.

Kristy Archer, the CCSR project co-ordinator said at the showcase that they will continue the program, as long as funding can be secured. I hope for the sake of the entire community that it does.

This last week, my email inbox has been fuller than at almost any other time since I was elected in 2005. The issue on people’s minds is the government’s plan for the privatization of our public lands. The government intends to convert replaceable forest licences into tree farm licences (TFL) which will effectively grant private corporations long-term, exclusive rights to publicly-owned timber.

As the critic for Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, people are including me in their communi-cations with the Minister of Forests telling him that they strongly oppose this move. And the government can-not provide a shred of evidence that any public good will come from the change.

The Minister of Forests likes to say that there is proof of benefit, and he likes to say that he is acting on the recom-mendation of the Timber Supply Committee. But both

of these statements are categorically untrue. A Freedom of Information request for any ministry

documents that stated any public benefits from this TFL rollover scheme turned up nothing. The ministry doesn’t have a single piece of paper that states there is any public good.

And as the Deputy Chair of the Timber Supply Commit-tee I know exactly what the committee recommended. And our recommendations in no way align with what this government is proposing.

Over the last week, I have received more than 1200 emails from British Columbians saying no to TFL roll-overs. And the emails keep coming in.

But I’m not just hearing from British Columbians. I’m hearing from people from all over the world. And that is where the larger issue comes in.

The path the B.C. government is taking us down could

shake the confidence of global markets that forest products from British Columbian are coming from forests that are managed to a proper environ-mental standard. And many markets are not interested in buying from a jurisdiction that cannot prove that it is manag-ing its forests sustainably.

There is still time to let the government know your pos-ition on this important issue. Send an email to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. Make sure your voice is heard.

Savour the memories and have fun this summer with a few helpful tips on sun safety for Sun Awareness Week, June 2-8.

“We want families to be active and enjoy everything our province has to offer,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “However, when you’re swimming or playing soccer, it’s important to remem-ber that the sunshine you’re enjoy-ing can be quite harmful, and parents should make sure that they’re taking steps to protect themselves and their

children.”If you’re out in the afternoon hiking,

biking or camping, be aware that the harmful rays of the sun are at their worst between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and protect your family accordingly.

Wear sunscreen, protective gear, including a hat, and limit your expos-ure to the sun.

Dermatologists strongly recommend a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protec-tion and a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.

Use a lip balm with SPF 30 as well. Remember, a tan is still skin damage and the same as a sunburn.

“While many people think that a tan looks good, it is really a sign that the skin is trying to protect itself from the ever stronger UV rays that come with summer, rays that cause aging of the skin, premature wrinkling and skin can-cers,” said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “I recommend covering up and using sunscreen to protect the skin.”

When the weather heats up and fam-ilies are out enjoying picnics or barbe-cues, exposure to direct sun and hot temperatures can cause dehydration and illness. Staying in the shade during the hottest hours of the day and drink-

ing lots of water will help prevent heat exhaustion.

While the warm summer sun may feel good on your skin, it’s particular-ly important for children and babies to be protected because skin can burn in only 15 minutes, depending on the UV index.

In B.C., melanoma incidence rates have been increasing annually, up 1.3 per cent for men and 2.2 per cent for women.

By staying safe and using sunscreen, you’re helping ensure that your family has great lasting memories for years to come.

Health Ministry wants you to stay safe while having fun in the sun

The 2013-2014 school year is quickly drawing to a close and the staff and students at Nicholson School are busy with year-end activities.

The Grade 6/7 class had a wonderful trip to Victoria where they sat in on Parliament, experi-enced China Town, and took in museums and other sights. For many of the students this was their first trip to Victoria and one they will treas-ure for a life time. On May 9, the Kindergarten students pampered their mothers with a Moth-er’s Day Tea.

Friday, May 23 the Parent’s Association held their annual Spring Fling event. It was a huge suc-cess with a wonderful turn out by the commun-ity. The children enjoyed horseback rides, vari-ous games and a barbecue. The Nicky Bopper’s skipping group performed for all in the school

gym and did a wonderful job showing everyone the skills they have learned this year. The Grade 4/5 class and the Grade 1/2 class took part in a fire safety presentation and activities by forest fighters from Revelstoke. It was a great learning experience and very interactive. Smoky the Bear even showed up for the event.

Before the year ends the students will partake in swimming, a bike rodeo and year end activ-ities including the Grade 7 farewell. We thank the Grade 7 class for a great year and for being won-derful role models for the younger students at our school. We wish them the best of luck as they head off to high school next year.

Thank you to the wonderful school staff and community for making my first year at Nichol-son an exciting and memorable one. It has truly flown by and I am looking forward to a fabulous 2014-2015 school year. Have a wonderful sum-mer to all the school community.

Nicholson school busy with year end

Fire season mild so far this yearJessica [email protected]

The rainy spring B.C. and the Kootenays have been having has resulted in fewer fires than nor-mal at this point in the season.

Since April 1, the Southeast Fire Centre (which includes Golden) has responded to a

total of 15 fires, which have burned a total of 35 hectares. The five-year average for the centre at this time of year is 17 fires burning 112 hectares. Last year by this date 166 hec-tares had burned, and the year before, 266 hectares.

The season outlook is also looking good, as slightly high-

er than normal snowpack lev-els are helping to prevent light-ning fires at higher elevations at this time. Conditions may become dryer by the end of June.

Fire weather is primarily affected by temperature, rela-tive humidity, precipitation, and wind speed.

The event was held as a fundraiser for a Grade 6/7 Free the Children project. The goal of the project was to help a community have clean water, and the spaghetti dinner helped them reach their final fundraising goal. LGES Principal Janne Arlt called the event a “great success.” Joel Tansey/Star Photo


As gas hits its summer prices, Goldenites will have a new place with which to fuel up

before heading out on those long sum-mer road trips.

Gas Plus opened its doors last month, taking over the loca-tion that had been previously aban-

doned next to the Civic Centre.

Bobby Lee and his wife Chloe Cho, who moved to Golden in February, are the new owners of the franchise.

Both Lee and Cho are from South Korea originally and Lee moved to Vancou-ver (where his sister was already living) in 2006 to study at BCIT.

“I liked Canada so

I immigrated perma-nently in 2010,” Lee said.

After moving around to Cran-brook and then Sas-katchewan, the couple heard about the Gas Plus oppor-tunity in Golden and were easily drawn to the area, while see-ing potential in the gas station and its location.

“I was really impressed with the people,” Lee said. “Everyone is really friendly in Golden and the mountains are great.”

Sherri MacDon-ald manages the couple’s apart-ment building and they remain grate-ful to her for all the work she did when helping them find a place.

Changes are already underway at the station and its convenience store with new products coming in all the time and the start of a loyalty program for repeat custom-ers. With that pro-

gram, one per cent of what a custom-er spends will go onto their account after each purchase. Money saved from that account can be used at any time for in-store credit.

For the moment, Lee and Cho haven’t hired any employees for their 6 a.m. to 11

p.m. operation, but they plan to once the business gets more established.

Despite only being here for a few months, the couple already sees Golden as their long-term home.

“We’re very excit-ed to be a part of this community,” Lee said.

Yoga instructor Dalia Yanai of Gold-en Lotus Ayurveda is bringing back her popular outdoor Sunday yoga sessions in Golden’s Spirit Square.

"I love the Spir-it Square. It's beauti-ful and central," said Yanai. It also has a tent to help with unfavour-able weather, and a much easier surface to work with.

Yoga sessions are every Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon, with a different instructor every week. You just have to bring your own mat and a dona-tion (70 per cent will go to the Golden Women’s Resource Centre).

This year there will also be a Mon-

day lunch time ses-sion (12-12:45 p.m.)

taught by Kristie Mcgregor, and pos-

sibly a Friday session as well.

A very unique collection of photographs, taken from the private collection of one of Golden’s most legendary resi-dents, is on display at the Art Gallery of Golden.

There are only two weeks left to see this very special collec-tion.

Mountain Memories features the photographs of Syd Feuz, who was born in Golden on Feb. 4, 1922 to parents Edward Feuz Jr. and Martha.

Edward was the second gener-ation of Swiss Mountain Guides to come to Canada and work for CPR guiding tourists through the mountains. He decided to make Canada his perma-nent home (unlike his father Edward Sr. who always travelled back to Switzerland at the end of the season), and raised his family in Golden.

This resulted in Syd Feuz being the first ever Canadian born mountain guide.

As a boy, Syd was keen to learn about mountain adventure from his father and uncles. He had the benefit of their experi-ence in Switzerland, and in Canada.

As fewer tourists came through via rail (when High-way 1 became the preferred means of travel), CPR no long-er had use for the Swiss Moun-tain Guides. So Syd continued his career in mountain adven-ture and began working as a heli-ski guide.

Through his passion for

mountaineering, Syd was able to see more of the Canadian mountains than most of us could dream about. But lucky for us, he was able to capture and bring back images of the majestic landscape.

Syd’s private collection of photos will be on display at the art gallery until June 14.

Biographical information came from A Golden Mountain Tale: The Lucky Life of Syd Feuz by Lynn Martel.

It’s that time of year again in Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks. Fresh spring vege-tation is attracting animals such as bears and goats to the side of the Trans-Canada Highway where they are vulnerable to being hit by motor vehicles.

“We have already lost two black bears this week,” says Tawnya Hew-itt, Parks Canada Wildlife Special-ist, “we are asking motorists to drive cautiously and respect speed limits, especially around blind corners.”

Bears have been busy at the road-side. This season, Parks Canada staff observed a black bear at the base of Mount Revelstoke and two

adult grizzlies grazing at different roadside locations in Glacier – one was a female with two cubs.

Parks Canada does not encour-age people to stop to view wildlife at this busy time. However, if you do choose to stop, pull onto the high-way shoulder when it is safe to do so, remain in your vehicle and move on after a few moments. Never stop in the middle of the road, close to a hill, curve, tunnel, or in heavy traf-fic. Vehicles stopping on the side of the highway to view wildlife can cre-ate traffic jams which are danger-ous to both people and wildlife.

Please pay special attention when driving and watch for wildlife. If you see a bear or other wildlife or traffic jam please report it to Parks Canada at 1-877-852-3100.

Through collaboration some artists find their truest expression.Two very different artists, one who uses a camera and one who express-

es herself with words, have combined their abilities to create a truly unique experience.

Local photographer Amy Barrett has taken her photos, which showcase the Columbia Valley and all the beautiful nature and wildlife that can be found here, and combined them with the inspirational words of writer Kim Clark.

The pair will be exhibiting their work at the Cedar House Restaurant, on June 14.

“Most of the pictures in this show have been taken in our valley from the birds and bees to the flowers and the trees. It has been years of shooting, compiling and sorting to conjure enough pieces to decorate a restaurant,” said Barrett. “I love working with other artists it is such a pleasure to share creative vision. The collaborating is fun and we are just starting to touch on the possibilities of words, pictures and food.”

Barrett was thrilled to be collaborating with Clark, who found her creative voice after some personal hardships. Already dealing with an ill husband, a struggling marriage, and raising four kids, Clark was diagnosed with pro-gressive Multiple Sclerosis.

She decided to go back to school, pursuing a BA in creative writing. Since then she has made a name for herself as a respected poet and author.

Lens and Pen: An Evening of Fine Arts on June 14 is the fusion of these two women’s creativity.

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

I pick up a new cata-logue. What’s more is that I know that I’m not alone. I see people coming out of the post office with their catalogue cards clutched tight-ly in their hands.

This excitement probably goes back to a time when we only went to town about twice a month, except of course if you had to ride the bus in for school.

Evening getting into town twice a month, the selec-tion once you arrived was pretty limited in a small town, although I would like to say I

think that the mer-chants of Golden have always tried hard to accommo-date the needs of the community.

The catalogues from Simpson Sears, T. Eaton Co and Woodwards allowed us to shop in the comfort of our homes, anytime! For two or three weeks after the cata-logue came in it was passed from one set of hands to the next, each of us dreaming of the new articles that we wanted.

It was a very peace-ful time really, not at all like the hustle and bustle of shop-ping today.

You didn’t have to dress up to shop this way or look for a sitter to watch the children because they were in your lap eagerly encour-aging you to turn the next page. You sat patiently with

them, turning the pages and then start-ed fresh from the front once they were asleep.

It never mattered that they whole book was in black and white or that in later years when the col-ours that we re pro-duced were of really poor quality.

You put your imagination to use – and it didn’t hurt that your colour selections were lim-ited. Most things came in navy, red, green and white.

With your choices made, you filled out the attached order form enclosed it in the envelope with a mail order and sent it by mail. And then you waited Two to three weeks some-times.

The day the par-cel arrived at the post office was one of excitement and I would dare to say

that very few parcels made it all the way home before they were opened and inspected.

I just went into the archives and found an Eaton’s catalogue from 1957-1958, and I’m still impressed by the selection that they had.

From this cata-logue you could buy everything you needed to build a house, from the con-crete to the roofing. And the roofing was $4.15 for an eight foot sheet, 36 inch-es wide.

You could furnish this house from the catalogue, includ-ing kitchen cup-boards, table and chairs, side tables, living room and bed-room suites, cur-tains and lamps.

Trappers and hunters could find everything from a rifle (308 Savage as $110.75) to camp

boxes, sleeping bags, traps, shells and grounds sheets, clothing, knives and packs.

You could boy all your cosmetics, hair colours, and perms, vitamins and even diet pills, station-ary and school sup-plies Christmas and all occasion cars, wedding supplies, pianos and accor-dions, and even a couple of pages of toys.

My personal favor-ite was the remnant bundle that could be purchased in 10 yard lots, for about $3,89 per bundle delivered.

It was very excit-ing to pick out the piece of material and then wait while mom turned it into something wonder-ful that no one else had.

As we look around at the number of stores and malls

opening every year, its easy to under-stand why the cata-logue companies who were the main-stay for rural shop-pers for so many years, can no longer make a go of it.

It’s unfortu-nate because not all people are able to, or even want to, push their way through crowd-ed stores, and then stand in long lines at the check outs.

Today most cata-logue companies have their products online on internet but its just not the same as sitting down with the old rat-eared catalogue with its pages folded over and items circled.

If you are interest-ed in taking a trip down memory lane pick up a mail order catalogue or drop by the museum and look through a vin-tage one.

INSTEAD OF A BOTTLE…Sing your baby to sleep with a sweet lullaby to avoid tooth decay, which dentists say is an epidemic in infants! Decay occurs when sweet liquids like milk and juice cling to teeth for long periods, explains pediatric dentist Stephen Mitchell, D.M.D. To prevent it, wipe baby’s gums with a gauze pad or wash cloth after each feeding, start to brush as soon as the first tooth erupts and never let him/her fall asleep with a bottle.

How to Spot TroubleHere is a quick guide to common dental problems. You

should visit your Dentist if you have these warning signs.

Accepting New Patients!

SMILE FILE




The Problem?Warning Sign

Bad breath that doesn’t go away

The cause might be gum disease, food, drinking, smoking, medicine you are taking or a health

condition. If you cannot get rid of bad breath

with daily brushing and flossing, see you dentist.

Your gums bleed when you brush or floss.

If you just started to floss, a little bleeding is normal.

But if you bleed almost every time you brush or floss your teeth, see your

dentist.Dry Mouth For women, menopause

may be the cause. It is also a side effect of many common medicines. It

does not feel good and it can make dental problems

worse. You need to tell your dentist if you have

this problem.A tooth that is a little bit

looseA loose tooth could be

caused by gum disease or by a blow to the mouth.

In any case, it is a serious problem. You should see

your dentist.A sore mouth A sore mouth might be

caused by false teeth that don’t fit well. It could also be from leaving false teeth

in overnight. “Burning mouth syndrome” is a

problem that affect some older women. Not eating the right kind of food may

also be the cause.

Bleeding that you can’t explain

Mouth sores that don’t heal in 7-10 days

White or red patches in your mouth

Feeling numb or sore inside your mouth

These symptoms may be signs or oral cancer. See your dentist right away.

The fish haven’t always been biting, but in the end John Shapperd made Golden work for both himself and his family.

Shapperd, an avid fisherman since his youth, grew up in the United King-dom and moved to Canada when he took a job for Hudson’s Bay Northern Stores.

Shapperd bounced around from Fort Smith to Yellowknife (where he met his wife Penny) to Hazelton and Port Hardy, among other locales. After 17 years he quit The Bay and moved to Golden.

“I came to Golden in 1983 with my tent trailer, braving the mosquitoes at the (municipal) campground and left my family in Port Hardy while I got things sorted out,” Shapperd said.

Shapperd bought the Macleods fran-chise hardware store in town, a pur-chase that became a burden a little while later when the Macleods chain went under.

The loss of Macleods meant the loss of the majority of the store’s inventory. The future of the store looked bleak.

“The first night (after the closure) I couldn’t come in the store I just looked in the windows and my heart sank,” he said.

“I think what happens is your psyche or something takes over overnight and by the next morning you think there’s

only one thing that can happen to this store. It can go up. We more than doubled the sales in the next year just through hard work.”

Eventually, the Shapperds got Tru-Value, an American company, to finance their store and the business recovered further. The store has since changed its name once again and now receives its inventory from Tru-Serv Canada out of Winnipeg.

Golden has always meant a lot to Shapperd, but there was perhaps no time when the community meant more to him than when he had health prob-lems a few years ago.

“That’s really when everybody ral-lied around me,” he said. “My wife, the staff, good friends.”

Shapperd is now in good health and continues to work at his store at least five times a week, more often than not calling his customers by name as they browse the aisles and ask for help.

When he can get away from work, a lot of his time is spent on the lakes and rivers of the Columbia Valley doing what he loves, fishing.

He got his start with fishing when he inherited some equipment from his grandparents and begged his parents to take him.

“I didn’t know the first thing about it but I caught my first trout using a fly rod but on a maggot,” Shapperd said, cringing at the thought of his rookie mistake. “Sacrilege.”

In fact, the fishing section at Tru-

Hardware remains one of its most popular, and Shappa\erd sometimes gets calls from all over Western Can-ada asking for tips and advice. He has taught fishing lessons in the past and hopes to continue that once he retires

from Tru-Hardware (the store has been for sale for a few years now.) Should a sale happen, the Shappards have no inklings of leaving Golden.

For John, it’ll simply mean he’ll be spending more time on the water.

Golden Moments: Fishing remains John Shapperd’s biggest passion

John Shapperd’s knowledge and expertise with fishing gear has led that to become one of Tru-Hardware’s biggest sections. Joel Tansey/Star Photo

Golden Cycling ClubSubmitted

May has been a busy month for the Golden Cycling Club. First, the local trails were opened and cleared of their winter debris. With over 100 km of trail spread throughout four trail systems, it can be a challenge to stay ahead of local cyclists.

At the same time, GCC kick started the cycling season with a series of pro-jects aimed at promoting cycling. Gold-en has been gaining recognition as a cycling destination in recent years – last year the Club recorded 12,000 users on the CBT Mainline trail – and the com-munity will be hosting two large race events in July.

Recognizing that trails are the founda-tion of its success, the Club has focused on trail development and improve-ment, and 2014 continues that process. Early in May, two volunteer days were organized and the Sternwheeler Trail was completed.

This trail links Nicholson to the south-ern Moonrakers and Canyon Creek trails and represents the culmination of four years of negotiations and effort to replace the old Sander Lake trailhead. Local landowners, Jim Gudjonson and Nicole Bauche, generously allowed development of a trailhead on their property and the Golden Cycling Club followed up with over 500 hours of vol-unteer labour in order to establish the trail.

Also in May, GCC secured a $15,000 contract with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Oper-ations (MFLNRO) to complete and enhance the LSD trail. Essentially an extension of the Canyon Creek trail, this trail will further diversify our trails by offering a technically challenging descent along the Terminator Ridge. GCC has also started construction of a fifth trail network. Located to the north of the Moonrakers, the new trail net-work is expected to take three years to complete and will add another 20 km of trail.

While much of the Club’s work relies on various funding agencies such as the MFLNRO, Columbia Basin Trust, the Resort Municipality Initiative and others, it is often the assistance from local corporate citizens that makes the

projects possible. Alpine Helicopters has never turned down a request from the Club to lift materials into difficult sites, and this year they offered GCC $10,000 worth of helicopter time. In conjunction with their pilot training they slung multiple lifts to eight sites. Many of these lifts were comprised of rough sawn fir boards supplied by Canadian Timberframes. This was the second year in a row that CTF has donat-ed over $5,000 worth of decking materi-al for the bridges and boardwalks being built by GCC.

GCC celebrated the construction of its first machine-built trail, the Mighty Quinn, on May 17 with a ride and lunch. Local contractor, Starr Trail Solutions, completed last year as part of the Main-line Completion Project and the trail has attracted considerable attention for its large rollers and berms. More importantly, the trail honours the mem-ory of John and Kristy Denham’s son Quinn and the event was made special by the attendance of John and Kristy’s

new daughter Freya.The Club has also endeavored to pro-

mote cycling through workshops and group rides. In 2013, club director Andy Bostock initiated his ‘Wednesday Wobbles’.

Part social, part instruction, these rides provide a low stress learning experience and Andy is leading the rides again this year.

Also this year, local certified instruct-or Mel Webber is offering women a similar learning experience with her ‘Tuesdays with Betty’ rides. On May 27 the first girls’ ride started at 6:30 from Reflection Lake.

This weekly ride is open to female rid-ers of any level with rides lasting around two hours, focusing on one aspect of riding, but also just ripping through the trails.

The inaugural ride ended at River-house tavern in time for Taco Tuesday and a pint. Meeting places for either of these group rides often vary but club membership entitles you to advanced

knowledge. The last weekend of May saw 21

women attend the first GCC Women's Mountain Biking Workshop organ-ized by Mel, with assistance from David Gagnon and Andy Bostock. Friday even-ing participants learned about bikes, how to maintain them and how to opti-mize the fit.

Saturday, three groups took to the trails to learn and practice riding skills to improve technical climbing, enhance confidence and bike handling and to flow through switch backs on the way up and down.

Mel puts out a “big thank you to the instructors for volunteering their time and experience, and to the participants for making this happen”.

Thank you as well to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort for the first aid kits (which remained unused).

From the workshop, $500.00 was donated to the GCC to help maintain and grow our mountain biking com-munity.
