With the teachers strike into its second week of the new school year and tensions continuing to grow, several parents and teachers are speak-ing up about their mounting concerns.

Towards the end of Rocky Mountain School District no. 6’s monthly board meeting on Sept. 9, a letter was read from a concerned parent

that asked what the board was doing to encour-age a resolution.

In response, Chair Jim Jenkinson revealed a July 2 letter that the Board had sent to both the Minister of Education Peter Fassbender and BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) President Jim Iker. The letter stated how concerned the Board was about a “lack of any substantial prog-ress” and urged the parties to come to a swift conclusion using any and all available dispute

resolution mechanisms, round the clock bar-gaining and a total media blackout.

Mike Archibald, president of the Golden Teachers’ Association, was the first to speak when the meeting opened up for questions from the audience. Archibald asked the Board to write another letter to the B.C. government, this time urging them to use binding arbitra-tion in order to put an end to the strike.

Out of tragedy came a very happy ending for three bear cubs who were rescued in the Golden area after their mother was killed by a vehicle.

On Sept. 4 Wendy Cham-bers, a local bear activist and volunteer with the Northern Lights Wildlife Society based in Smithers B.C., received a heart-stopping phone call.

“I was told that there had been an incident with a female black bear on the highway near to my home, and that unfortu-nately she had lost her life,” said Chambers. “But there were four cubs grieving over her body at the side of the road.”

The incident had already been called into the RAPP line, and the local conservation offi-cer was aware of the situation. When Chambers arrived on the scene, the mother bear had already been removed.

She spotted one of the cubs, however, running around on the highway.

“I managed to chase the cub to a nearby tree and up into it,” said Chambers. And when she did, she discovered that the cub’s three siblings were already in the tree.

With the conservation offi-cer two hours away, Chambers knew she had to keep the cubs in the tree until he arrived. She banged sticks on the tree any time they tried to come down. That was no easy task consid-ering these little bears con-tinued to perform their bod-ily functions with Chambers down below them.

“That did not concern me at the time, my concern was to keep these babies safe,” she said.

During that time she fell in love with them, and was even able to pick up on their indi-

vidual personalities. One was apparently devastated by the day’s event, and wouldn’t stop crying, while another was calm enough to take a nap on the branches.

“After about one and half hours my wonderful husband arrived with transport crates and helped me keep these little ones in the tree,” said Chambers.

The conservation officer arrived and after assessing the situation began sedating the bears. The first two bears were fortunately well positioned in the tree, and did not fall, how-ever the third one fell hard and ended up down the steep embankment. She didn’t sur-vive the fall.

“I have to admit that was one of the hardest moments I have ever experienced,” said Cham-bers, who held the cub in her arms as she passed away.

“But we had another cub to save.”

The last cub took a few tries, as she was near the top of the tree. But with the help of some volunteers, they were able to catch her in a tarp as she fell.

By the time the cubs were all safely sleeping in their crates, Chambers had been on scene for nearly six hours. However her day was not over yet. The three surviving cubs need-ed to get to Smithers where the Northern Lights Wildlife Society could care for them. A truck was waiting for them in Kamloops, but Chambers and her husband had to get them that far.

The NLWS was a great option for these cubs, and the best shot at giving them a good future says Chambers.

“I volunteer for NLWS because of their high stan-dards, total dedication and never-ending compassion,” she said. They are the organiz-ation who rehabilitated young Tika, a grizzly cub who was found near Golden two years ago in winter. Tika regained strength with NLWS, but was sadly hit and killed by a vehicle near Invermere after being rereleased.

“I am proud to be part of their team and will continue to support them for the rest of my days.”

Backing Up? You are Responsible for SafetyThe crew from the School Bus Garage in Keremeos tell about a person driving a motor

home that backed out of a driveway near a school bus that was dropping o� children. The person didn’t appear to be paying attention and almost backed over one of them. The crew thought that a big yellow school bus displaying � ashing lights should have been a clue for the driver to exercise more care.

This is a very important thought because the Motor Vehicle Act places all the responsibility on the driver moving in reverse. It says that the driver of a vehicle shall not cause the vehicle to move backwards into an intersection or over a crosswalk, and shall not in any event or at any place cause a vehicle to move backwards unless the movement can be made in safety.

Two speci� c o� ences are created in this section. The � rst is backing into an intersection and the second is backing over a crosswalk. Both of these imply that the movement is being made on a highway.

The � nal part of the section makes no mention of being on a highway. It simply says that in no circumstances will a driver travel in reverse unless that movement can be carried out in a safe manner.

If you are going to back up your vehicle and you cannot see well enough through the windows or by using mirrors like the motor home driver it would be wise to � nd someone to act as a � ag person and help you. It is not convenient but it is safe, and that is what is required.

Sometimes you need an apology to move on, and a Golden organization aims to help both offenders and victims do just that.

“Crime and conflict result in harm done to people. Restorative Justice seeks to heal and put right the wrong,” said Ann Younger, a vol-unteer with the Golden Community Restora-tive Justice Program.

“The wrongful act stands as a barrier between the two people, and the relationship is fractured. No one really enjoys broken rela-tionships.”

This volunteer-run, provincially funded program brings offenders and victims togeth-er and gives both parties the space to speak and be heard. The process involves a referral (often from the RCMP after a crime has been committed, but could come from anyone), individual sessions with the victim and offend-er, and then a joint session where it is made clear the harm that has been done, and a sin-cere apology is offered.

“Sometimes people really don’t recognize how they have harmed someone,” said Young-er. “We work with youth a lot…It’s really inter-esting to see it in some of the younger one’s faces, when they finally understand that what they’ve done has harmed someone.”

Although most referrals come from the police, Younger wants the community to be aware that this group offers conflict resolu-tion for all kinds of issues. This could be an interfamily conflict, a dispute between neigh-bours, or a problem between two business owners.

“We want the community to know that this program is available to everyone,” she said. “Referrals can come from a parent, maybe the conservation or bylaw officer...anyone who needs a relationship repaired.”

The local chapter, which is one of the long-est running in the province, has completed approximately 40 cases in the last three years.

The group is hosting a Community Con-versation where they will show the commun-ity how Restorative Justice can create a better future for victims, offenders, and the town. The evening will include speakers, Sergeant Troy Durand with the RCMP, Justice Grant Sheard, and Mayor Christina Benty, as well as question periods.

“There will be lots of opportunity for people to get a better understanding of what we real-ly do, and how we might be able to help them,” said Younger.

The Community Conversation will be held at the Golden Seniors Centre on Tuesday Sept. 30 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

There's fresh hope for mediated talks to end the B.C. teachers strike after Education Minister Peter Fassbender said both sides are in preliminary talks with veteran mediator Vince Ready.

The minister told CBC TV Ready spoke to both B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker and gov-ernment negotiator Peter Cameron Thursday and were expected to formally meet.

"He is trying to get the parties close enough where he can play a meaningful role," Fassbender said of Ready. "He will make that decision."

By Friday morning, education ministry officials were only saying that the parties had agreed not to comment, and would not confirm talks are underway or describe the status of any sessions.

Ready previously began exploratory talks two weeks ago but declared the two sides at impasss and walked away from the table Aug. 30

The latest developments came after Fassbender on Thursday began edging away from from his long-held position not to legislate striking teachers back to work.

"The reality is, government has the ultimate ability to legislate in any situation," Fassbender told Can-adian Press in an interview when asked if he would open the door to the option. "We want a negotiated settlement."

He had consistently vowed not to impose a settlement on teachers, saying a negotiated deal is critical to break the "dysfunctional" labour-relations cycle.

Union members on Wednesday voted 99.4 per cent to approve the B.C. Teachers' Federation propos-al to end their strike if government accepts binding arbitration.

Fassbender wouldn't say whether he's had discussions with the premier about recalling the legisla-ture early or how government would respond if the strike continues into the fall sitting of the house, set for the first week of October.

Premier Christy Clark said she thinks she can get a negotiated deal before she travels to India for a trade mission that's scheduled to start Oct. 9.

"I'm very hopeful that schools will be back, in fact, I'm certain schools will be back in session by the time I go to India," she told reporters.

A slate of other B.C. unions also pledged more than $8.5 million for a teachers' federation general hardship fund earlier in the week, which will be handed out as loans and grants while teachers carry for-ward without income.

The government and union have a long history of struggle over control of educational policy, with the union striking more than 50 times in the past 40 years and at least three settlements imposed by gov-ernment.

The legislature is set to resume on Oct. 6, and although standard business is slated to occur, back-to-work legislation could be introduced and passed quite quickly by the majority B.C. Liberals, said the professors.

B.C. teachers were 99.4 per cent in favour of proceeding to binding arbitration during a vote the next day, but the Prov-ince has twice rejected the process as a means to end the strike, saying that a negotiated agreement is the best way to end the dispute.

Jenkinson showed an immediate reluctance for the Board to get involved in negotiations by encouraging the government to go through arbitration.

Golden Trustee, Jane Fearing disagreed and tabled a motion to include the words “binding arbitration” in a letter to the government and the BCTF. The motion failed with only Fear-ing and Trustee Betty Lou Barrett voting in its favour.

“(Binding arbitration) is not free collective bargaining,” said Trustee Sandra Small. “It forces a settlement and creates a winner and a loser…I think the sides should find a settlement and kill the cycle of disputes every two or three years.”

Doug Murray, president of the Windermere Teachers’

Association, would also make a request to the Board about what it should include in its proposed letter. He asked them to urge the government to drop the controversial E80 clause that Iker has called one of the biggest impediments to the two sides reaching a deal because the effect it would have on class size, class composition and specialist teacher provi-sions.

Once again, the Board declined to get involved in the negoti-ations in that manner (although they did rule to send another letter that didn’t include anything about binding arbitration or E80) and it proved to be a source of frustration for many in the audience.

“I’m very disappointed that the Board would not include the possibility of binding arbitration in their letter to the govern-ment,” said Archibald following adjournment.

Some hope of a settlement did arrive on Sept. 11 as veteran mediator Vince Ready appeared set to re-enter the fray. For the latest news on the teachers strike, visit www.thegoldenstar.net.

Neighbour dispute

Police responded to a neighbour dis-pute in south Golden on Sept. 6. A resi-dent was upset with their neighbour who had erected a fence. A verbal dispute ensued.

Police attended and diffused the inci-dent after determining the neighbour had permission from the owners to build the fence. The resident was apolo-getic once the circumstances were made clear.

Bear Break-in

A Parson resident reported hearing a loud bang at her front door on Sept. 5. After a closer look she saw the door was

damaged, and she was unable to open it. She could not see or hear the person responsible.

Police responded, and when the scene was examined, saw two sets of claw mark-ings on the door consistent with that of a small bear.

All residents are reminded to keep all food items in sealed containers and indoors. It is also imperative that area residents ensure all produce from yard trees and gardens are picked and fallen fruit is collected and either used or dis-carded appropriately.

Window Shattered

A vehicle window was shattered on a pick up truck parked on 11th Avenue North. It occurred sometime between 7 p.m. on Sept. 6 and 3 a.m. on Sept. 7.

On the same day there was a break

and enter to a residence on 12th Street South. A jar of coins was stolen.

Hit and Run

A Revelstoke resident was reversing his vehicle to line up with a gas pump at a local service station on Sept. 10. He backed up too far striking the vehicle behind and damaging it.

The Revelstoke resident then left the service station without making any attempt to locate and notify the owner of the other vehicle. Police were called and reviewed surveillance video at the scene which confirmed the incident as described.

Police were able to locate the suspect’s vehicle during patrols and the driver was issued a violation ticket for Failing to Stop after a collision with an unattended vehicle.

Rate Hikes

Editor,

We understand no one likes the news of a rate increase and we don’t like to have to deliver that news but, the fact is, the cost of injury claims in B.C. continues to grow every year – currently at $1.9 billion a year, up by more than $500 million from just five years ago – and a rate increase is needed to cover these costs.

There have been various factors contributing to the increasing number of injury claims in recent years and one of these can be clearly attributed to the rapidly increasing use of personal electronic devices behind the wheel (other factors include weather and road condi-tions, volume of pedestrians and cyclists and more rela-tively minor injury claims).

We agree there are indeed many distractions to us as drivers – both inside and outside the car – but the increase in serious distracted driving related crashes

since 2009 is in direct correlation to the mass adoption of smartphones. Distracted driving is now the second lead-ing cause of car crash fatalities in B.C., with an average of 88 people killed each year, and the leading cause of rear-end crashes which often result in injuries.

The prevalence of distracted driving on our roads is also reflected in the fact that police have issued approxi-mately 190,000 tickets for the use of an electronic device while driving since the law came into effect in 2010, show-ing it’s not just a small percentage of drivers who con-tinue to demonstrate this dangerous driving behaviour.

Of course, drivers who cause crashes do already pay more for their insurance and the proposed rate increase will have an even bigger impact on them. We are also always looking at ways to help reduce crashes and keep insurance cost as low as possible, including getting tougher on drivers who cause crashes.

Pipeline

Editor,

Firstly, we have the Enbridge oil sands pipeline which is a threat to our environment and the future of our children.

Most British Columbians do not want to see its construction, running through our territories, over and or through our rivers, our mountains and our backyards.

Secondly, there is the LNG, the liquefied natural gas industry and

their pipelines, which are equally as threatening as an oil pipeline, per-haps even more so.

Thirdly, there is the Eagle Spirit oil pipeline which although is not relat-ed or a part of the Enbridge com-pany, it is as much a threat as any other project.

Boasting to be a First Nations com-pany does not make it any different or right to be accepted, a pipeline is a pipeline, an oil spill is an oil spill.

It will be as catastrophic as any other spill and is contrary to our cul-ture, traditions and teachings of our elders and spiritual leaders.

I was taught by elders and spiritual leaders, from many nations through-out North and South America. They taught me that we First Nations were put here on Turtle Island to be the guardians and caretakers of this part of great mother Earth.

I say ‘no’ to Enbridge. I say ‘no’ to LNG and I say ‘no’ to Eagle Spirit pipeline!

Let’s stand united against all these projects!

Aaron J. GreyCloudTerrace, B.C.

I was very happy to see so many people par-ticipating in the Terry Fox run this past Sun-day. For an event that has been taking place for decades, all over the world, it is great to see younger people get involved and passionate about the run.

The Golden Star had an office team who par-ticipated in the 10 km run, although in the spirit of honesty I have to admit we found a way to shave off about 2 km of that.

There were about 15 participants rearing to go right at 9 a.m. for the ribbon cutting, and many more showed up to participate over the next few hours.

It’s hard to keep events like these running in small communities, and I’m grateful to see that year after year someone steps up to make it hap-pen.

We all, most of us anyway, grew up in Canada. And we either watched as Terry started his journey from the east coast, and commenced the Mara-thon of Hope. Or we learned about his efforts in school, watched the documentary, and ran every year to keep his dream alive.

I was quite inspired to learn as an adult just how far his story had reached, and how many countries around the world also host Terry Fox runs.

The very first run took place in Canada at 760 different locations in 1981. Now, approximately 40 countries host more than 9,000 Terry Fox Runs every year.

All the money raised goes to the Terry Fox Foun-dation (an independant organization not associ-ated with the Canadian Cancer Society), and has a reputation as an industry leader in accountabil-ity with 84 cents per dollar raised going directly to cancer research.

Since its inception in 1988, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $600 million (CAD). That is a very impressive figure, consid-ering the run has no official corporate sponsor-ships (although many corporations participate and donate). Just as with his original Marathon of Hope, it was Terry’s wishes that no corporation would be involved.

The Terry Fox Foundation is one of the largest non-governmental funders of cancer research in the country, funding many different types of cancers, with current multi-year studies includ-ing lung, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, oral, liver, oncolytic viruses and many more. To date, the foundation has funded 1,152 different pro-jects.

A jar full of zingy stars to the generous man who supplies us girls with kick-in’  “Horseradish”.It’s so yummy.

A sky full of sting-ers to that RUDE PLANE! Peace and quiet was why live here, out-door enthusiasts.

Stingers to the idiotic person that went up to the cemetery and took

the expensive vase and flowers off a new grave site - you should be stuck in the ground head first!

Stars to all the volun-teers who made the Terry Fox run happen this year. Extra stars for letting me ride my bike.

Stars to the Town of Golden for putting up new garbage cans around town. They look

much better.

Stingers to the crazy woman in the Rockwater for heckling the enter-tainment. Being drunk does not make you a music expert.

Stingers to the person who stole from my store. I know who you are and I’m going to be watching out for you. Next time I’ll take action.

Do you think the Columbia Basin Trust programs are beneficial to Golden?

“I’m not very familiar with their programs, but I also hear about

groups getting new stuff because of

CBT.”

“Ya, they’re huge for us. Lots

of groups and programs wouldn’t run without them.”

Come and talk assets………my assets…….your assets………our assets.

Local government not only provides citizens with the core services (water, sewer, roads, fire protection etc.) but a broad range of additional services that contribute to quality of life such as recreation, arts and culture, and attractive pub-lic spaces. Asset management is a process that identifies the costs to provide, maintain, renew, or eliminate community-owned capital assets.

As part of my Master of Arts in Leadership Degree at Royal Roads University, I will be con-ducting an inquiry research study for the Town of Golden on Community Engagement and Asset Management. As both the Mayor of Golden and a student at Royal Roads University, I am pas-sionate about our public assets.

I would love to have you to take part in my research. There are two opportunities to contribute: a short survey (I prom-ise) and a World Café event.

By participating, you are assisting the Town of Golden in developing a meaningful engagement practice with its residents on the future of com-munity-owned assets. You can find the survey on the Town’s website www.golden.ca under “What’s New”. It is anonymous and all information will be treated as confidential and only aggregated information will be included in the final report and any other publications and/or presentations.

In addition to the survey, I will be hosting a World Café event on Oct. 8 from 7-9 p.m. at the College of the Rockies. This World Cafe event is a forum for face-to--face conversations about the assets that matter to our quality of life. In other words, what does our community need and want; most import-antly, what are we collectively willing to pay for. Space is limited so sign up early. This event is open to the first 40 Town of Golden residents over the age of 19 who sign up. If you would like to secure your spot, please email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you!

Mayor’s ReportBy Christina Benty

What is the future for our community-owned assets

Charity AuditsEditor:The Canada Revenue Agency—which appears

to have become an arm of the PMO—is current-ly auditing several Canadian charities, looking for suspect “political activity.”

The list of targets include Amnesty Internation-al Canada, the United Church of Canada’s Kairos fund, the David Suzuki Foundation, PEN Canada (the Toronto-based freedom of speech organiz-ation), the Canadian Centre for Policy Alterna-tives, Canada Without Poverty, even Oxfam Can-ada.

All these groups have spoken out against the Harper government at one time or another.

(I assume the right-wing Fraser Institute, which wades frequently into politics, has been spared a visit from the agency.)

Agency officials informed Oxfam that “pre-venting poverty” was not an acceptable goal. Oxfam was warned: “Relieving poverty is charit-able, but preventing it is not. Preventing poverty could mean providing for a class of beneficiaries that are not poor.” Oxfam Canada’s executive dir-ector Robert Fox called the exchange he had with Canada Revenue Agency officials an “absurd con-versation.”

Charities shouldn’t fear Harper’s bluster. Diane

Bertolin writes in Collective Publishing Company (Online Magazine for Innovative Individuals and Entrepreneurs): “Charities can dedicate 10 per cent of their total resources, including a volun-teer’s time, to supporting or opposing a govern-ment policy.

It cannot, however, directly support a party or politician ... the federal government, in its 2012 budget, decided to change the rules. The Feds have decided that they will be holding charities accountable to the 10 per cent rule. If a charitable organization exceeds the 10 per cent rule, then it can be sanctioned by having its tax receipting privilege suspended for one year.”

There are about 100,000 charities in Canada. In 2013, of 880 charities audited, (an additional $8 million was budgeted for it) only one lost its license to act as a charity, and it wasn’t even one of those “radical” environmental groups which the Harper government despise so much.

Was that good use of taxpayer money?On July 25, NDP MP Paul Dewar (Official

Opposition Critic for Foreign Affairs) said of the Harper government: “What I see here is more of a crass ideological campaign against some of our proudest and most effective organizations.”

CP Rail crews are busy doing clean up after a train derailed in the Big Eddy late Wednesday night.

The derailment took place just west of Highway 23 South as the train was heading west from Revelstoke at about 11:15 p.m on Wednesday, Septem-ber 10.

Several train cars could be seen lying on the banks of the track as crews cleaned up the mess on Thursday mor-ning.

Salem Woodrow, a spokesperson for CP Rail, said in an e-mail that four cars derailed.

“There were no injuries, no public safety issues and no environmental con-cerns,” she wrote. “We expect to resume train operations later this afternoon.”

The derailed cars

were intermodal shipping containers. Woodrow said she did not know their contents but there were no hazardous materials in the cars and nothing was spilled.

Chris Krepski, a spokesperson with the Transportation Safety Board, said it was the second through fifth car on the train that derailed.

“The TSB didn’t deploy an investiga-tor to the site but we are following up with the company to gath-er some further infor-mation,” he said.

Rob Girard, Revel-stoke’s fire chief and emergency pro-gram coordinator, first learned of the derailment when he was contacted by the Revelstoke Times Review Thursday morning. He said CP Rail had not reported the incident to him, a fact that has him con-

cerned.“We want to go out

and look. We should know about it,” he said.

“That’s pretty major in our com-munity. We want to know, especially in light of what’s been going on in terms of train derailments.”

Girard attended the scene and said five containers derailed and that they were either emp-ty or carrying hay. The discrepancy between Girard and CP Rail’s numbers is because one car was carrying two contain-ers.

He said he was pre-paring a report to council to let them know about the situ-ation.

The city also wasn’t notified about a 2010 derailment near McDonald’s and a 2011 derailment in Albert Canyon along-side the Illecillewaet River upstream of

Revelstoke.“The city doesn’t

take this kind of stuff lightly,” he said.

Woodrow said the lack of notification

was because there were no injuries, public safety issues, or environmental issues as a result of the derailment.

“We have our own emergency proto-cols which were immediately enact-ed and all safety pre-cautions and meas-

ures were taken as we responded to the situ-ation,” she said.

The cause of the derailment is under investigation.

Gone are the days where Molson and Labatt are the only beer options for Canadians, and Golden is set to join the microbrew trend with its very own craft brewery.

Kent Donaldson and Mark Nagao have long discussed bringing a brewery to Golden and have now decided to go for it as co-owners of the new business.

“We’ve been toying with this idea for prob-ably about five years,” Donald-son explained. “Mark’s a local and has basically wanted a brewery here for 25 years. Lots of people have talked about it but nobody was really doing anything about it.”

Donaldson, who splits his time between Golden and Calgary, envisions the brewery as a full fledged destination with plenty of options for the consumer.

“It’ll have a tasting hall, it’ll have retail, a special events area, tours, growler sales and possibly limited food service,” Donaldson said.

Beer tourism is a growing industry as more and more microbreweries open up across British Columbia and in the northwest United States.

Donaldson hopes Golden can earn a place on the beer tourism map.

“When I say destination brewery I mean something that will appeal to locals, tourists and beer tourists,” Donaldson said.

Donaldson, a long time beer enthusiast and

home brewer, stressed that it was paramount to keep this operation as local as possible. The brewery will source its equipment through Newlands Systems in Abbotsford, while Cal-gary’s Cheryl Link (who has had a vacation home at KHMR for years) of Mountain Mod-ern Timber Frames is designing the building.

Olson Construction will be the general con-tractor, and the timberframe will be supplied by International Timberframes Inc.

“It’s a pretty sharp building. It’ll probably be one of the nicest looking commer-cial buildings in Golden,” Donald-son laughed.

The proposed design, which is

still pending the Town’s approval, will include either Glulam or Timber frame with lots of glass and rock.

Donaldson sees the brewery’s future loca-tion next to Glacier Rafting as a major positive as it sits on the road leading to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

A brewmaster has yet to be hired, but Don-aldson has a general idea of what customers can expect from the brewery’s lineup of beers. He expects to have at least a lager and a pale ale on year-round offer with an assortment of seasonal beers throughout the year as well.

The co-owners are not quite ready to reveal a name for the brewery, but that’s some-thing that should be in place once they work through some copyright issues.

“We are optimistic we will obtain develop-ment approval within weeks, and hope to be starting construction this fall,” said Donald-son, who was earlier hoping for spring of 2015.

“Lots of people have talked about it, but nobody was real-

ly doing anything about it.”

ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates.The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if

approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission.The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application.A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be

paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage.ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for

pain and suffering, future care and lost wages.Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million

from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up.Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is

one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims.Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year

– and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes that often cause injuries, spokesman Adam Grossman said.

A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September.Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than

2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday.

Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increas-es in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete.

He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general rev-enue.

The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010.

Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBC and government claims the yearly dividends to the province come only from the optional side and don’t affect basic rates.

“We see it a as one corporation,” he said. “As long as they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no matter which division they claim it from, we are being gouged as a public.”

Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive vehicles that is “absolutely disgraceful.”

Kicking Horse Culture’s first Live Kicks per-formance of the season will feature a Can-adian artist who has brought the simple uku-lele to new heights.

“When I was about 18 I remember my dad saying, ‘you should record an album of uku-lele songs.’ I thought he was nuts,” said James Hill, who will be taking the stage at the Golden Civic Centre on Thursday Sept. 25.

“It took three or four years but I finally came around. The ukulele has always opened doors. People are charmed by it, curious about it and often skeptical. It’s always fun to change a per-son’s perception of the instrument.”

Hill followed his gut, and his father’s sug-gestion, and has never looked back - not in 12 years. Not only has he produced some ground-breaking music, he has also taken his role as a teacher (along with his father, a retired teacher) and launched the James Hill Ukulele Initiative Teacher Certification Program.

He learned how to play in a Grade 4 pub-lic classroom, and Hill thinks the ukulele is “an unbeatable platform for music literacy in schools.” He also has an online learning pro-gram, The Ukulele Way, which can be found at www.theukuleleway.com.

However it is his love of performing that is bringing him to our mountain town.

“(The concert) will be full of surprises.

There’s lots of variety: original songs, instru-mentals, usually a cover tune or two,” said Hill. “And we always have a few laughs. I mean, what’s a ukulele concert without a bit of fun?”

After touring for years, Hill has found that large stadiums shows in cities, and small venues are much the same. It all depends on the audience.

For the concert in Golden, Hill will be joined by cellist Anne Janelle. The pair will be per-forming some songs from the new album, The Old Silo, which was produced by Canadian musician (and Live Kicks performer from two years ago) Joel Plaskett.

“I think fans will see this as a departure; it’s a bigger, bolder sound.  Tunes like “She’s Still Got It,” and “Tie One On” are rockier and have more swagger than anything I’ve ever done.  But that’s where my heart was on this album.  My biggest fans are the ones who come along for the ride; they want to be part of the musical journey I’m on.  This album is a new curve in the road... a good one, I hope,” he said.

“I’m a big Joel Plaskett fan so working with him was a dream.  We worked well together and got a lot done.  I respect him so much as a writer and musician so I was really open to his suggestions and direction.  I’ve always pro-duced my own stuff and I thought I might have trouble ‘letting go’ but it was a breeze.  In fact, I was thrilled to have his input.  He made every song better.”

▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang

members in B.C. come from every socio-economic

background and all ethnicities. While racial,

ethnic, and gender composition can vary by

locality or type of gang, gangs are often as

diverse as our communities and many do not

restrict who joins as long as they can make

money for the gang.

Golden ScoutsSubmitted

The 1st Golden Scouts have just con-cluded a very suc-cessful action packed year. In addition to weekly meetings, we hiked, camped, snow-shoed, built bridg-es, learned canoe res-cue, and went on a

week-long mountain-eering expedition. One highlight was the High Ropes Camp, where the Scouts had the opportunity to travel twice to Kim-berley to balance on cables and walk-ways strung between five enormous poles with a zip-line down back to the ground.

The troop also did a lot of pioneering, or building struc-tures out of 10' poles lashed together with rope; we made bridg-es (one in the snow), a catapult, and some chariots. At Camp Wenman, most of the Scouts spent at least one night (at -20C!) in quinzies, or snow-

shelters. The whole year

culminated with an expedition up the Asulkan in Roger's Pass; the Scouts spent the week at the Asulkan Hut doing mountaineering and glacier travel and summitted snow-cov-ered Young's Peak.

Scouts learn team-work, leadership, and outdoor skills. The Scouting movement gets kids out into the great outdoors. Scouting has been around for over 100 years and many Can-adians and people around the world remember their Scouting days fond-ly and remember the lessons they learned and the fun they had and the challenges they met.

We are always wel-coming new Scouts to join our troop. We want boys and girls aged 11 and up who love the outdoors and are looking for adven-ture. Younger chil-dren can also join Beavers or Cubs. You can learn more about 1st Golden Scouts by phoning Julian Eng-land at 250-290-0250 or Jason Gadd at 250-344-9897.

Each small com-munity has its own dynamics that set it apart from the others, and is only understood by the people who live there.  

For instance, unless you have been in the valley for more than

35 years “old-timers” will never take any-thing you say seriously. 

Being valley born will give a 25 year old the advantage in a group of people where a there is some-one 50 years old who has only been here for 25 years because everyone knows who your parents are.  

Those old-tim-ers reading this right now are nod-ding,   because they know that I’m the daughter of Harold and Jenny Rauch, two old-timers each born of an old time family.

Here are some other interesting points that set us apart and help deter-mine if you are from a small town or not.· You can name

everyone you gradu-ated with.   That’s especially true of the Golden Secondary

Class of 1958 because there were just five graduates.

· You’ve been to a party in a pasture, a

barn, the middle of the dirt road.

Many of us will remember the dances in the store parking lots where we pulled in, checked to see who had the best sound coming from their 8 – track player, turned it up with the car doors opened and danced to the wee hours. Others will remember parties at the Flats, the Old Mill and now Three Poles.

· You used to drag “main” street.  If you lived in the south val-ley you have drag raced down the high-way at Horse Creek.

· You’ve done los-er laps around town to see where all your friends are hang-ing out, and you’re not afraid to go into the house where you find them because you know everybody there.

·  You’ve planned a party around the schedule of differ-ent police officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn’t.

In my time that was Beaulac and Crow.  For the south valley born you also had to watch out for the game warden.

· You could never buy cigarettes in Golden because every store clerk knew who you were and would tell your parents, even if you were old enough.

· When you could get cigarettes you still had to drive out on the back roads or go off into the bush to smoke them.

· It was cool to date someone from a neighbouring com-munity. In my case that was absolutely essential to make sure I wasn’t “going around with” a cousin.

·  You know that at some point you will date the ex-girl/boy friend of a best friend.

· You don’t give directions by street names or numbers, everything is given by reference. 

In Golden, it’s by the light. From the museum visitors wanting to mail a post card will get these dir-ections.  You go back out to Main Street, and turn right, fol-lowing main street carry on through the light, over the bridg-es and take the first left past the 7-11. The post office is right there.

· You referred to anyone in a house that was built after 1980 -  rich people. There were many names for Selkirk Heights when houses first started going up there. Snob Hill, Hamburger Heights, etc.

·  Weekend excite-ment involves going to Cranbrook to the Walmart.

· You can tell you’re from a small town when you go out for a leisurely walk and five people stop to ask you if you would like a ride.

· You can tell you’re from a small town if one of your teachers has ever called you by one of your sib-lings’ names or they remind you that they taught your parents. Mr. Pecora.

· You’ve swam in a slough – like McMurdo or pock-et of water – like the Sands that wasn’t clean, had a muddy bottom, and no chlorine.

I’m certain that others in Golden and all points nearby could come up with more things that set us apart and I know that at least some of these things have to apply to you.

Rockets goaltender Mitchell Privett keeps the puck out of the net in a 4-2 victory over the Princeton Posse Friday night. Andrea DeMeer Photo

Season starts with 3-point weekendGolden Star [email protected]

After a shaky pre-season run, the Gold-en Rockets had a stronger start to their season with a win, a loss, and an overtime loss.

The team passed their first test of the regular season with at 4-2 victory over the Princeton Posse on Friday Sept. 12. Gold-en goals were picked up by Ian Desro-sier, Brennan Fuoco, Nick Hoobanoff and Travis Kelley. Goal-tender Mitchell Priv-ett also had a strong opening game, stop-ping 32 out of 34 shots on net.

The next night the Rockets travelled to Kelowna, and fell to the Chiefs 4-2. Gold-en was down by four by the end of the first period. They tried to make a comeback, but were unsuccess-ful, and scored their final goal on a power play with just a few minutes left in the game.

Sunday night in Armstrong was a much closer game. The Rockets were down by one after the first frame, but closed the gap in the second. The game was pushed into a

second overtime, where the North Okanagan Knights snagged the two points.

The win and the overtime loss put Golden at the top of their division with

three points, after just one weekend of play.

The Golden Rock-ets first home game of the season will be at the Golden Arena on Thursday Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m.

ELECTORAL AREAS ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’ AND ‘F’

by Kamia Shepherd ATP*Special to the Golden Star

The focus of this week’s reading is “Relationship.”  Not only relationship in the sense of a romantic partnership, but also in the ways in which we manifest relationship with ourselves.  Is there a balance between the inner mas-culine and feminine energies?  Is life presently giving and receiving energy in equal measure?  Or is one hab-it for expressing the self, as the nurturer, or the builder of dreams, asking for time and energy to be re-evaluat-ed.  This week can allow for a metamorphous that creates stronger internal balance.  

The card reads “Healing Family Issues”.  This can speak of healing on a personal level, in the sense that we all possess elements of self-parenting, self-nurturing, and self-expression.  It can represent positive communica-tion within a family unit, an opportunity to be honest in which our honesty is received with respect and kindness. It can also speak of connecting with the exuberant, innocent and joyous part of our-selves that is childlike, and hopeful.  

If there is space in our lives to laugh, to wonder, to be curious and enthusiastic, we can receive gifts of joy. If there is a need to cre-ate greater space, either as an individual or as a family unit for personal and group vitality to grow, then this week is ripe for ideas, communi-cation, and courage to make healthy changes.  We live in a free will universe, and cannot make anyone other than ourselves choose a certain way.  With our free will however, we are able to choose what brings us joy, what revitalizes and nourishes us, and to claim space and time for a healthy relationship of self.

Masculine and Feminine energy, the will to achieve and the will to receive, reside within each human.  May the relationship of self and rela-tionships with others bring kindness, respect, and gentleness.

In Memoriam

DAHLIn loving memory of Blanche,

a wonderful Mother, Mother-in-law,Grandmother, Great-grand-

mother, Aunt, and Friend.

Don’t think of her as gone away,

Her journey’s just begun,Life holds so many facets,

This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting,From the sorrows and the

tears,In a place of warmth and

comfort,Where there are no days or

years.

Think how she must be wishing,That we could know today,

How nothing but our sadness,Can really pass away.

And think of her as living,In the hearts of those she

touched,For nothing loved is ever lost,And she was loved so much.

Forever loved and missed by

Lou & Evan Buzzell and family

Darlene & Mike Devlin and family
