After months of uncertainty, debate, and pub-lic outcry, Kicking Horse Culture will finally have some stability when a three-year contract gets drawn up for the cultural services organiz-ation.

Although it had been the preference of coun-cil to continue funding KHC through taxation, as had been done before the demise of Gold-en Area Initiatives, the Town has agreed to set up a three year funding deal with the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District to fund KHC, using money from the Economic Opportun-ities Fund.

The dollar amount will remain the same, allowing KHC to continue their year round cul-tural services, including concerts, art shows, other performances, and the annual Snow King Parade. The free Summer Kicks series is funded separately by the Town.

KHC promised three years of secure funding

“I’m worried that there will be potential lost oppor-tunities by taking that much money out of the fund every year,” said Coun. Ron Oszust, who voted against using the EOF funds along with Coun. Connie Barlow. The $120,000 a year will be taken out of the fund, and will not be avail-able for other projects.

“I would hate to lose out on an opportunity because the money isn’t there.”

Councillors Chris Hambruch, Caleb Moss, and May-or Christina Benty all agreed that this wasn’t their first choice, but voted in favour as it was made clear by the

CSRD that they were not supportive of returning to a tax-ation model.

“If there is a project that we want to fund, we can always tax for it. That’s still an option, we’re just doing it in reverse,” said Moss.

The decision was made at the June 24 council meeting after a letter from the CSRD was received with this propos-al.

The letter also contained the request to use the leftover GAI funds towards Kicking Horse Culture. Council will be sending a letter back asking that any proposals for the use of GAI funds be sent to the GAI Board, as Town Council has no authority over those dollars.

Local DJ receives international recognitionJoel [email protected]

The wedding industry in Golden continues to grow on a yearly basis. A big part of that has to do with the area’s pristine scenery and beauti-ful venues, but Golden’s vendors are starting to receive national and even international recognition as well.

Mike Pecora of Elite Sound and Light recently finished in seventh place internationally in the category of Most Popular Wedding DJ as part of the Wedding Industry Experts Awards. He also finished second in both B.C. and Canada in the same category.

“All too often I think people think that Golden is this little hick town and we’re going to have to import our vendors from the city,” Pecora said. “This just kind of helps seal that as well…if you book your wedding at any of these venues in Golden you’ve not only got world-class venues but world-class vendors as well too…It says a lot about the industry in our area.”

Candidates were nominated anonymously by former clients, and award winners were decided by a panel of judges and an online vote.

Pecora, who does approximately 40 weddings per year, DJed his first wed-ding at the age of just 13 years old.

“I made $75 that night in cash. I was on top of the world. It was completely done by cassettes which is where I ori-ginally learned how to beat mix,” Pec-ora laughed.

For a wedding DJ, being hired for a job means a lot more than just show-ing up at the reception and spinning some tunes.

“Each wedding has several weeks or sometimes even months of prep time for it,” he said. “Each of them have a completely different style, a different playlist, a different genre of music, they’re not cookie-cutter weddings.”

Of course, the growth of the indus-try means a lot for the town, and not

just those who are involved in cater-ing, entertaining and hosting wed-dings. Most of the weddings Pecora does are from couples located out of town.

“If you imagine the average wed-ding having 150 people at it that are all from out of town and staying three nights each…we’ve got a $20 million industry in Golden, easy.”

Mike Pecora DJed his first wedding at the age of just 13 and now works approximately 40 weddings per year in the fast growing wed-ding industry in Golden. Photo Submitted

Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision last week, as he prepared for the first meeting with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17. The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation.

BCPSEA has applied to the Labour Relations Board for sum-mer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.”

Summer programs for elementary school students, inter-national students or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, mean-ing the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead.

Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation.

They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation.

Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the sum-mer off as they have done in previous disputes.

At the time of publication (prior to June 30) no deal had been reached.

“Both parties, separated by only one per cent, are well within reach of an agreement on wages,” said Iker.

“The holdup is now a lack of commitment from government to adequately fund improvements to class size, class compos-ition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers.”

“BCPSEA made it very clear that the comprehensive offer was very near the limit of what we can afford. Mediation can cer-tainly help us to adjust that package. We are willing to explore puts and takes, small moves here and there,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender.

“But mediation will not split the difference between our respective positions. A mediator will not shake loose hundreds of millions of dollars that we simply do not have.”

If you have spotted a bear wandering around Golden in the past couple weeks, you aren’t the only one.

There have been approximately 90 calls into the tip line so far this spring reporting bear sightings in Golden.

“There are multiple factors contributing to this high number and a spike in bear activity this spring” said Sarah Osadetz, WildSafeBC co-ordinator for Golden. The cold spring weather, lack of low elevation food supply, and the good berry year last year (which creates larger bear fam-ilies) are all factors in the increase of population, and an increase in bear/human conflicts.

However there is also a human factor, which is perhaps having the largest affect. According to Osadetz, these bears have inherited garbage eating habits, and have a large supply around the community.

“The mandate for WildSafeBC is prevention of conflict with wildlife, encouraging people to choose differently with how to manage their waste - resulting in wildlife to stay wild and humans to be safe. My job is to educate on best practises for storing attractants,” said Osadetz. “We can do a better job with our garbage.”

When several bears and bear family units were bringing in a lot of calls to the tip line, June 20-22, there were on average 50 garbage bins a night being knocked over by the bears - and this is on days when there is no garbage pickup.

“One bear was so comfortable in our community, that he was wandering down 12th street at 1 p.m. walking right by humans in their yards, unafraid, when kids were out rid-ing bikes.”

Ideally, all waste kept in an airtight, scentless container, and locked up indoors, will keep bears at bay. Some people think that freezing garbage reduces the risk of attracting bears, but Osadetz says that even frozen garbage, if stored

outside in a deep freeze, is still a powerful attractant.There are many myths that she hopes to dispel over the

course of the summer through various education initia-tives, and through future articles in the Golden Star. Any-one wanting tips on how to safely store garbage or use bear spray safely, is asked to contact Osadetz at golden@wild-

safebc.com.Anyone who has spotted a bear is asked to call the con-

servation office reporting line at 1-877-952-7277. The ear-lier a bear in the community can be prevented from eating garbage, the better the likelihood is that it will stay wild and not be in conflict with humans.

Picket lines will continue over the summer

New equipment for fire department

Joel [email protected]

Golden Fire Rescue received a new piece of equipment last week that could prove to be invaluable when it comes to battling grass fires in town.

The department’s new skid pump has a 65 gallon tank, a Honda motor and a 50 foot hose. Perhaps its best features, however, are its small size, light weight and overall convenience.

“This is designed to sit in the back of pickups and it’ll be able to handle the grass fires next to CP rail lines, it’ll be able to handle little backyard fires, and this will be able to respond very quickly before the big engines can get there,” said Fire Chief Ken

McClure. Being able to start on fire suppression immedi-

ately, before the main crew even arrives on scene, will make the department’s job that much easier.

One of the rules of thumb when battling fires is to surround the fire and then ground it.

“We have to cut (the fire) off,” said McClure. “Being able to have a tool to be able to cut it off a lit-tle bit quicker…it’s smart.”

Because the department responds to numer-ous grass and backyard fires, McClure has seen the need for a skid pump for a while. He purchased the $3,000 piece of equipment at a Fire Chief’s con-vention in June.

“I saw the little pump in action, I was very impressed with it, and we bought it,” he said.

The Keep Right AttitudeThe left lane is so popular lately that when I use the right lane I often � nd myself behind

far fewer vehicles at the next red tra� c light. In fact, at one particular intersection on my commute many times I can be � rst in line. Everyone else seems stuck in the left lane trying to get ahead, fuming, following too closely, making sudden lane changes and often all for the desire to exceed the speed limit and to be faster than everyone else.

Why don’t the police do anything about slower drivers who fail to give way? Most often these drivers are at or above the speed limit or preparing for a left turn, 2 out of 3 of these activities are allowed by law. Couple that with the tra� c court justice who told me outright that I had better not try to prosecute a fail to keep right ticket when the driver doing this was travelling at the speed limit. There was zero chance of a conviction and I would be wasting the court’s time. Oh, and if those slower drivers were below the speed limit and not turning left, I did do something about it.

Which is the most dangerous, driving in the left lane at the speed limit and not moving over or driving in the left lane and trying to exceed the speed limit when the driver in the left lane isn’t? My observation is that more dangerous actions are performed by the latter than the former. While speeding in itself may not be dangerous, trying to force your way about the limit in tra� c is.

To me, it all comes down to attitude. The oblivious driver needs to be more attentive. The driver failing to keep right needs to share. The driver trying to push their way to the front needs to relax, considering both themselves and others. If the attitude shown in the comments of my BC Bad Driver of the Week video on this topic is any consideration, improvement is not likely to happen soon!

Fatal Accident

One woman has been pronounced dead and three others have sustained injur-ies as the result of a head on collision at the west entrance to Yoho National Park.

Trans Canada East Traffic Services, Gold-en RCMP, B.C. Ambu-lance and Field Fire Rescue responded to the report of a two vehicle head on col-lision. Trans Canada East Traffic Services members confirmed that a westbound Toyota Camry crossed the centre line and collided with an east-bound Chevrolet pick up truck.

The male driver of the Toyota Camry was transported to hospital in Golden and then air lifted to hospital in Cal-gary. The female pas-senger of the Toyota Camry was deceased at the collision scene. The two occupants of the pick up truck were transported to hospital

in Golden with non-life threatening injuries. All persons involved in the collision were from B.C..

Members of the Trans Canada East Traffic Services unit are continuing to investigate the cause of the collision and are assisting the B.C. Cor-oners Service.

RCMP are reminding the public to take prop-er precautions on the roads as traffic volumes pick up over the course of the summer.

Stolen Goods

RCMP are continu-ing to investigate after an SUV crashed in a single vehicle incident on June 12.

Two males and a female from northern Alberta were treated with non life-threaten-ing injuries after their Mazda 5 rental went off an embankment 64 km west of Golden. The occupants were trans-ferred to Golden hos-pital with one individ-ual continuing on to Cranbrook for further treatment.

Upon inspection of the vehicle, RCMP determined that the individuals were trans-porting a considerable amount of stolen prop-erty, including one theft from a vehicle in Golden.

Stolen property included camera equipment, identifica-tion cards, credit cards and illegal firearms. Most of the over 200 items originated from Alberta.

Two of the accused were released on bail and one of the males is due to appear in court on Aug. 9 in Golden. Police are continu-ing to investigate and sort through the stolen items.

Stolen Vehicle

On June 23, Revel-stoke RCMP received a complaint of an erratic driver heading eastbound on High-way 1. When police attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver fled, nearly struck some construction workers, and police were forced to abandon the pursuit

due to traffic. The vehicle eventu-

ally pulled over onto the shoulder near Don-ald and the occupants of the Chevy pickup truck, which included two males and two min-or females, ditched the truck and fled on foot.

A Parks Canada war-den informed the RCMP and the suspects were apprehended without incident. Police later discov-ered that the vehicle had been stolen out of Abbotsford the day before. Three of the suspects remain in cus-tody while the fourth was released by the court.

Gas thefts on rise

On June 25, after a party on Selkirk Hill, some youths stole cans of gas from a home, as well as from forest-ry workers who were in the area to conduct controlled burns.

The gas cans were later returned and one of the youths apolo-gized. The victims were satisfied with the apology and no char-

ges were laid. Police are reminding indi-viduals that with rising gas prices, fuel theft is expected to be on the rise as well.

In addition, police are urging citizens to take proper precau-tions and secure any valuables they may leave outdoors such as bicycles and barbe-cues.

- I SURMISE -By Jessica Schwitek

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

Although this issue of the Golden Star is out one day after we cele-brate Canada Day, I think it is important to take the time honour the people who have made Canada what it is.

A recent poll in Van-couver has sought to find out who Canadians think are the most over-rated, and underrated Canadians of all time.

The overrated Can-adians are easy to pre-dict and understand. Justin Beiber and Don Cherry top that list for what I believe to be some very obvious reasons.

Chad Kroeger, Avril Lavigne and Pamela Anderson also scored pretty high on that list.

(Although I was also pretty disappointed to see names like Margaret Atwood, Neil Young and Trevor Linden make the list, albeit very low down).

It’s the underrated Canadians on the list that I found to be the most interesting.

Frederick Banting, who is tied for first place with Terry Fox, I am embarrassed to say I had to look up before I recognized the name.

For those of you who are also unfamiliar, Ban-ting’s contributions to this country and to the world and still as relevant today as they ever were. For the past 90 years, millions of people who suf-fered from diabetes have survived because of Banting’s work with insulin.

He was granted a Nobel Prize for his contribu-tions, and is to this day the youngest person to receive the prize in the area of Physiology/Medi-cine.

I had to look up close to half of the names on the underrated list, which actually turned out to the be a perfect pre-Canada Day activity.

Reading about some of the remarkable achievements Canadians have made in science, medicine, literature, environmentalism, politics and sports certainly puts you in a red and white mood.

Some of the sports stars caught me quite off guard when I realized how many hockey players are commonly known names, whereas tennis star Daniel Nestor didn’t even ring a bell for me.

I was also happy to see that although there were some actors and actresses on the original list, none of them made it very high.

It was ten years ago this year that the CBC launched their Greatest Canadian series. The popularity of the series showed just how much we as a country like to honour our citizens. It was quite inspiring.

We are very fortunate to live in Canada, not just because of the great opportunities we are given, and the beautiful landscape we get to enjoy. But also because the exceptional people who share our nationality.

Bears

To the editor,

There has been a lot of talk, sightings, and close encounters with bears in the last while in town. Appar-ently there are two momma bears with cubs living in town. I have heard a broad range of opinions from “bears were here before humans and should be allowed to stay” to “the only good bear is a dead bear”. My thoughts are somewhere in between. I believe that we as the intelligent species should develop strategies to discourage bears from roaming our streets and alleys and to keep them in the wild, both species living in coexistence.

Garbage is, as we all know, a major attractant to keep them coming back for a smorgasbord meal. If we con-tinue to put tasty stuff in the garbage they will keep coming back. A few suggestions; rather than put-ting table scraps and food waste in the garbage, buy a digester and turn them into compost. Bones can go in the digester too. Compost your vegetable waste and use it to improve the soil in your garden or sell it to someone that wants it. Composters and digesters are

available through garden supply retailers.One question that I have been asked is “why didn’t

the Town buy bear proof bins instead of the ones we bought?” The answer, quite simply, cost. The ones that were purchased for each residential address cost $75 each. Bear proof ones were $300+ each at the time. The reason for having all the containers the same is for the way the garbage is picked up. The mechanical arm on the truck is set for one size of container. That way no containers are crushed or dropped. Easy peasy, works that way. Bear proof containers similar to the ones we all have are available and maybe it is worth considering replacing the existing ones with bear proof ones as they need replacement.

Also, people wishing to purchase one on their own can do so, just be sure that the dimensions are very close to the existing ones so that they can be picked up.

If you have comments or questions please contact me either by phone at 250 344 2864, email [email protected] or send me a message on Facebook.

Global Education

Editor,

There is an ugly and protracted battle going on between B.C.’s teach-ers and provincial government. As predictable as those conflicts are, so must follow endless public hand-wringing about the fate of the chil-dren and the potential dire impacts of a disrupted education.

The majority of the world can only look at our situation and think: “We should be so lucky.”

Currently, 57 million primary grade kids are out of school. Barely half of all countries are expected to provide primary education by next year.

Yet it used to be much worse: due to the efforts of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and donors like Canada, since 1999 the number of

uneducated children worldwide has been halved.

A good example is Afghanistan: the number of children attending school has gone from one million to 11.5 million and almost half are girls.

But the need is enormous. Later this month the GPE is slated for renewed funding and is facing an annual shortfall of $26 billion.

Stars to the young fel-low riding his motor bike up the Mt. 7 trail with his snowboard and boots strapped onto his back! We met him last evening at the base of the trail at 6 p.m. Wish we could have seen him riding the Seven solo in the sunset!

Stars to all the parents and other volunteers who helped make this year’s graduation cer-emony successful.

Stingers to the dog owners who let them off leash around other peo-ple when they clearly don’t have control over them.

Stars to whomever put up the road sign to Mt. Seven near Reflection Lake. Sure would be nice to have some trail signs posted for hikers from out-of-town. We met two groups who couldn’t find their way and turned back.

Stingers to the people who are making nasty comments on Facebook. If you don’t have the guts to say it in person, then don’t hide behind your computer.

Stars to the Gorman Lake road sign on Kicking Horse Trail. Hikers told us yesterday they spent hours driving up roads beyond that point looking for the Gorman Lake trailhead and never found it.

Are you concerned with all of the bear and cougar sight-ings in town this spring/summer?

“No, but I grew up around bears and they are a part of my life. We just need to be safe and responsible around them.”

“No, I don’t worry about them.

Humans are the scary ones. I

like animals, it’s more of a mutual

respect thing.”

Golden point of view

Canada needs to double its current commitment of $60 million if the Partnership is to achieve its goal.

Compared to B.C., the challenges facing education in the rest of the world are far more dire.

But while B.C.’s education issues are complex, this one is very simple. The Harper government doubling its commit-ment will help ensure that GPE dollars reach those final 57 million kids.

We have the good fortune of living in what I believe is one of the most pristine areas in Can-ada. Kootenay-Columbia has found a way to bal-ance the environment with natural resource extraction.

Aside from four National Parks and a number of protected areas such as Darkwoods and the Flathead Valley, we also have the second largest coal mines in the world as well as a healthy forest sector, not to mention some of the largest hydro-electric dams in Canada. One of the largest natur-al gas pipelines in North America runs through this riding.Very few people talk about it and not a

single incident since it has been there.All of this is done in the most environmental-

ly friendly way so as to ensure we have a balance between the environment and economic growth.

The National Energy Board – an independent expert regulator – will ensure that Northern Gate-way, and every other pipeline, is held to the high-est safety standards. The last thing that anyone wants is an incident with a pipeline and certain-ly the ones that own the pipeline would be at the top of the list.

Whether it is pipelines, mining, forestry or hydroelectric, these products contribute to a

stable economy which pays in part for the servi-ces that we as Canadians have come to enjoy. All of the services that we enjoy continue to increase in cost. The energy sector is a major player in not only the GDP but billions of dollars in taxes that pay for those services. I want to see a healthy energy sector that contributes to the overall suc-cess of Canada.

I believe that companies in the natural resource sector have proven that they are responsible stew-ards and will continue to be so in the future.

Pipelines will be held to the highest safety standards says MP

Northern Gateway Pipeline

Editor,

Northern Gateway is feeding into our addiction for oil.

The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline is going to go in, according to the Federal Government.

I have to ask our government: Can we drink oil? What about our right to vote?

It seems every time the government really wants something we don’t get to have a voice.

B.C. has some of the last pristine, natural areas left in the world. The west coast of B.C. is unique on earth. Every year thousands of people come here to observe the impressive natural beauty of our amaz-ing province.

They say the pipeline will be safe. Right! So there-fore no tanker is unsinkable and no pipeline is unbreakable, dream on.

We all know the disastrous effects would be irrepar-able.

The unique features of the northwest coastline would make an oil spill cleanup extremely difficult.

The profit we will gain from this project is short term and small in comparison to the long-term effect of the damage to our environment and the precious natural resources that will be wiped out in the pro-cess. We as a country should invest heavily in renew-able energy resources to protect the environment and the resources we have left.

This can also create jobs and stability to our econ-omy not just a pipeline.

I really hope we can find a way to break free from our addiction to oil, and I use it too, just like you.

The Northern Gateway Pipeline is not going to make up for the damage it will cause, just putting it in alone is going to destroy beautiful natural areas that are irreplaceable and that is before an oil spill.

There has to be another way! I really hope the gov-ernment will reconsider.

As of today, certain burning activities in the Golden area are prohibited.

Effective at noon, open fires will be prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdic-tion, which includes Golden, and south to the US border, to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. This prohibition will remain in place until

the public is other-wise notified.

Specifically, pro-hibited activities include:

* the burning of any waste, slash or other materials

* stubble or grass fires of any size over any area

* the use of fire-works, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or descrip-tion

This prohibition does not ban camp-fires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or

smaller, and it does not apply to cook-ing stoves that use gas, propane or bri-quettes. Anyone lighting a camp-fire must maintain a fireguard by remov-ing flammable deb-ris from around the campfire area and must have a hand tool

or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire.

Please ensure that campfires are not lit or kept burning dur-ing windy conditions. Make sure the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch

before leaving the area for any length of time.

This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and pri-vate lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced

by a fire department. Please check with local authorities for any other restrictions before lighting a fire.

Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibi-tion may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to

$100,000 and sen-tenced to one year in jail. If the contraven-tion causes or con-tributes to a wildfire, the person respon-sible may be sub-ject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and asso-ciated costs.

The Ministry of Environment is introdu-cing a new administrative penalty program to encourage compliance with the Environ-mental Management Act (EMA) and the Inte-grated Pest Management Act (IPMA).

The new program makes it possible to give out financial penalties to violators who fail to comply with an Act or regulation, or with orders, licences or permits issued by ministry officials.

The goal is to encourage compliance and discourage potential violators. Administra-tive penalties are to be used when non-com-pliance has a direct environmental impact or interferes with the protection of the environ-ment.

This new program fills a gap between warn-ings and violation tickets for minor offences and criminal prosecutions for more serious offences.

Examples of violations include: * Discharging waste without a required

authorization;* Releasing a substance into the environ-

ment that exceeds what is permitted under an authorization or regulation; or

* Failure to submit monitoring reports.A violation will fall into one of four cat-

egories with maximum penalties of $2,000, $10,000, $40,000 and $75,000. Each violation will be evaluated on a case by case basis with no fixed penalties. Final decisions on penal-ties will be made by statutory decision makers within the Ministry of Environment.

While the ministry will continue to pursue prosecution for the most serious environ-mental offences, administrative penalties present an alternative option for a wide range of contraventions not requiring a public court process.

As a kid he would sit in his garage and watch his parents gather with friends and jam to the likes of Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. With a childhood like that, it’s no surprise that Wil Mimnaugh grew up to be a musician.

His father recognized Wil’s talent at an ear-ly age, and made sure his skills would flour-ish. One Christmas morning he awoke to find his very own Fender Acoustic guitar under the tree.

The road to success is never an easy one, how-ever, and Wil pursued other artistic mediums before returning to his first love. In the early ‘90s, still in his teens, Wil began playing cov-ers of some of his favourite artists (Nirvana, Jeff Buckley, Pearl Jam), after an impromptu acoustic performance of a birthday song in a Calgary pub.

He soon realized he needed to be writing his own music, and by 2002 he had released his first album.

The success of the first record allowed him to tour with some Canadian heavyweights like The Tea Party and Matthew Good. Cut to 2014, Wil is currently producing and record-ing his 5th studio album, due for release later this year.

He is also on tour, and will be taking to the stage at Golden’s Summer Kicks series in Spir-it Square on Wednesday July 9.

Performing the in between set for the Sum-mer Kicks performance will be Golden’s own A-Muse Troupe.

Cover to Cover: Canmore author delivers mountain tales in Short Peaks


Why do you do it? The question was psoed by a New York Times writer, as he tried to figure out why mountaineer George Mallory was so keen to climb the world’s tallest peak. “Because it’s there,” was his simple, pro-found, and now legendary response that has been echoed by countless climbers since.

Short Peaks, a short story collection by Canmore’s Jerry

Auld, is a look inside mountaineering and the world’s fascina-tion with the planet’s highest peaks.

From Kiliman-jaro to the Matther-horn, from the Hima-layas to the Can-adian Rockies, Auld explores all of the Earth’s most famous mountains and ranges throughout his 33 tales.

It’s interesting to see Auld mix in a large variety of set-tings from story to story, and it was equal-ly rewarding to read about mountains

from various per-spectives. Included are the points of view of humans, animals and even inanimate objects.

In fact, Short Talk with Long Axe, is one of the highlights of the entire book for me for its sheer crea-tivity. The story is told through a Q & A ses-sion with, you guessed it, an axe. The axe dis-cusses his mountain-eering exploits over the years and laments the fact that his glory of reaching the heav-ens has been some-what overshadowed

by “the blunt stupid-ity of boots or the hydra-headed stab of crampons.” Brilliant.

Another highlight is Proof, the story of a mountain climber named Harold who failed to provide evi-dence of conquering Lhotse, which is con-nected to Everest and is the fourth high-est mountain in the world in its own right.

Due to white-out conditions, Harold was unable to take a photograph of his ascent, and there-fore has no proof of his conquest. His struggle for proof is told in conjunction with Mallory’s fate-ful attempt for the summit of Mt. Ever-est alongside climb-ing partner Andrew Irvine. The pair dis-appeared near the summit of Ever-est years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay achieved the first official ascent of the world’s tallest peak.

Mystery has sur-rounded Mallory and Irvine since their disappearance and some still theor-ize that they reached the summit of Ever-est and died on their descent. It was fas-cinating to see Auld explore this mystery with his own take on

what happened and some of the discov-eries that are made during this brief story are really intriguing. I almost wish Proof was fleshed out into a full length novel.

The stories in Auld’s collection are

very short, some are just a few pages long, and range from the deeply poetic to plot-driven mysteries. There are a few in here that might not hold your attention, but there are many more that will. Given

Golden’s own place in mountain culture, there’s likely to be a story or two that will hit especially close to home.

Short Peaks is avail-able for purchase at Bac-chus Books & Cafe.

Last week, the federal government launched a fifth call for proposals for the Build in Can-ada Innovation Program.

The BCIP was launched in 2010 as a pilot program to connect Canadian companies with federal departments and agencies that have a need for innovative products and ser-vices.

Since then, 1,244 proposals have been sub-mitted and 84 innovations were pre-quali-fied during the initial phase of the program. Of that 84, 72 contracts have been awarded to test their products and services with govern-ment departments. Last week, Kootenay Col-umbia MP David Wilks announced that the Government of Canada has pre-qualified 72 more innovations under the fourth round of the BCIP.

To build on the early success of the pilot pro-gram, Economic Action Plan 2012 allocated

additional funding for three years, starting in 2013. As of 2016, $40 million will be perma-nently dedicated to the BCIP annually.

The program aims to help bring Canadian businesses one step closer in moving their products and services into domestic and inter-national markets, which in turn would create jobs and economic growth in Canada.

The BCIP calls for Canadian entrepreneurs to submit innovative designs that can poten-tially help departments find solutions for achieving their operational objectives.

If innovations are successfully matched with a department’s needs, businesses will have their pre-commercial innovative prod-ucts and services tested within a government environment and will receive valuable feed-back.

The federal government encourages all Canadian entrepreneurs to submit their proposals for the fifth round on Buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders before the September 16, 2014 deadline.

Gov’t announces fifth proposal call for Build Canada Innovation Program

Notice of Public HearingZoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1337, 2014 – Park Model

Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaws and wishes to register an opinion may do so:

The following story came from 2000 Gold-

en Memories - copies available at the Gold-en Museum.

Dean Phillips Crandlemire was born in New Bruns-wick, March 25, 1905. His parents, Fred and Lottie Crandlemire moved their family to Vancouver in 1911. In 1921, they home-steaded on the Grand-view Bench near Grin-drod, B.C.

In 1929, at age 23 Dean married, “The prettiest redhead in Alberta,” Sarah Hazel Stauffer, the daugh-ter of Albert and Mag-gie Stauffer. Sarah was born in Dids-bury Alberta, June 22, 1913.

The newlyweds moved to the Oka-nagan where they had six children, Isa-belle, Anita, Nola, Albert, Evelyn and Denise. Anita died of SIDS at approximate-ly eight months of age and Nola died in 1954 at age 22 from the effects of Rheumatic Fever which damaged her heart.

After serving in the Forestry Corp during WWII, Dean returned to the Oka-nagan where he did various jobs includ-ing carpentry. In 1952, he was working for Dave Howrie, a contractor from Ver-non, who had the con-tract to build the new courthouse in Gold-en. Dean packed his tools and with his son, Albert, in tow, moved to Golden.

The next year, Dean was foreman of the job to replace the original Lady Grey School with a brand

new building. He realized that

Golden was growing and had much to offer a carpenter and his family so in the sum-mer of 1953 Sarah and the two young-est girls, Evelyn and Denise, joined Dean and the four of them share a small two room cabin at Mary’s Motel.

The following spring Dean built a clinic for the local doctors which includ-ed a basement suite for the caretakers. Because there were no other accommo-dations available in town, Sarah took on this job so the family could move to much larger quarters.

Dean and Sarah were both active in the community. Sarah was a member of the Women’s Institute and the Legion Aux-iliary. She worked at King’s Depart-ment Store, and was still working there when it became Bar-low’s. Dean was a member of the Can-adian Legion, Gold-en & District Hospi-tal Board, Centennial Arena Building Com-mittee and a charter member of the Gold-en Lions Club. He set up a contracting busi-ness with Dan Urich and when Crandle-mire & Urich was dis-banded, he installed and serviced furnaces for Esso.

On May 24, 1971 Dean was killed instantly as the result of a head-on car colli-sion. He was 66 years old. At the time of his death, he was chair-

man of the Hospital Board and had spent countless hours help-ing to plan and over-seeing the construc-tion of the hospital expansion.

It is told by the nurs-es that he is still keep-ing a watch over the building.

When the elevator, which he fought so hard to have includ-ed in the expan-sion plans, comes up from the base-ment at night, seem-ingly unoccupied, the long-time nurses reassure the newcom-ers that it is just “Old Crandlemire” check-ing to see that every-thing is still running smoothly.

Six months after Dean’s death, Sarah cut the ribbon to officially open the hospital extension. This feat was accom-plished from her hos-pital bed as she had been disabled in the same accident that took her husband’s life.

It would be another six months before she learned to walk again and was released from the hospital.

Soon after her release, she moved into the newly com-pleted Purcell View

Apartments. This move was ironic as Dean had been Chair-man of the building committee which was planning the con-struction of these sen-ior housing units. Sarah lived there for 16 years until can-cer forced her to give up her independ-ence and once again return to the hospital. She died June 3, 1989.

Isabelle married Edmund Keehn in 1949 and they had one son, Robert and one grandchild.

In 1975 Isabelle was remarried to Dale Robinson. Nola mar-ried Steven Kabelia in 1952. Albert mar-ried Betty Rutledge in 1955.

They had three sons (Kevin, Dean & Chris-tian) and three grand-children. Evelyn mar-ried Robert Kennley-side in 1955.

They had three daughters and two sons (Nola, Debra, George, Kara & Scott) and 10 grandchildren and two step grand-children. Denise mar-ried Peter Shular in 1958. They had one daughter and two sons (Salena, Ian and Dale) and three grandchil-dren and four step grandchildren.

Silent auction supports resident

A silent auction and fundraising barbecue was hosted at the Farmers’ Market on Wednesday June 25 in support of a local resident, Lisey Lalonde, who requires medical treatment outside of the com-munity. The booth was busy all day with people bidding on the dozens of items that were donated by local residents and businesses. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo

Beer, wine, cider and spirits can be sampled and sold alongside fresh fruits and veggies at B.C. farmers' markets, as a new batch of Liquor Policy Review changes take effect.

"Having local liquor manufacturers at B.C. farmers' markets will offer shoppers a conven-ient opportunity to taste-test and purchase local liquor products, and at the same time pro-moting B.C. agri-tourism, creating new eco-nomic opportunities for local businesses and helping to complement the sales of B.C.-grown foods," said Jon Bell, president of the B.C. Asso-ciation of Farmers' Markets.

Adopting a community-centred approach, liquor manufacturers will apply directly to the farmers' markets where they wish to sell their products and it will be up to the market asso-ciation to determine which vintners, distillers and brewers are accepted, subject to municipal bylaws. To help ensure responsible service and prevent sales to minors, liquor vendors must have Serving it Right certification.

"The liquor policy changes that take effect today reflect the lifestyles of contemporary British Columbians," said Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton. "Being able to pick up a bottle of local wine at your local farmers' market is one of many balanced changes that support convenience and choice for consumers and economic growth for B.C."

Love’s remembrance outlasts all.Love Mom, Karen, Shirley and Colbin.

Let’s “TACO ‘BOUT” your Advertising needs!


Yoga and stand up paddleboarding are two activities that are enjoyed by a loyal group of participants in Golden, so why not combine them?

That’s what yoga instructor Jessica Pyper thought when she first tried out SUP yoga. Starting in July, locals will have a chance to participate in the increasingly popular activ-

ity for themselves. Pyper will be leading a SUP Yoga session every Saturday at 11 a.m. throughout July and August (beginning July 5).

“I haven’t done it too many times which I think is kind of perfect…we’ll all kind of be learning together,” said Pyper.

“But I’ve done it a couple times and it’s amazing, I love it.” Participants are asked to bring their own paddle board to the $15 sessions, but rentals

can be arranged through Higher Ground for those without a board. Pyper admits the concept of balancing on open water means there is a bit more of a

learning curve, but doesn’t think it will take too long for beginners to get the hang of it.

“The first time you even stand on one you’re just like ‘whoa, how does this work?’ and you just ease into it…You have to have an open mind and a playful attitude because at any given point you could fall in,” Pyper said.

SUP Yoga will take place at Cedar Lake and to prevent the group from drifting apart, Pyper plans to bring rocks and rope that can be used as anchors.

While it may be trickier than standard studio yoga on a mat, Pyper sees the benefits of tak-ing the various poses out onto the water.

“For one, you get to be outside so that’s awesome. Another great thing about it is that it works your core,” said Pyper. “I think it’s a fresh way to look at a practice too. It makes it a little more exciting.”

For more information, contact Jessica Pyper at [email protected] or at 250-272-6798.

Combining yoga with stand up paddleboarding can be tricky at first, but according to instructor Jessica Pyper, all that’s needed is an open mind and a playful attitude to get the hang of it. Photo Submitted
