First look at Columbia River TreatyDarryl [email protected]
Representatives from the Province of British Col-umbia were in Golden on June 19 to share information and consult with local residents in an attempt to ensure regional interests help shape the future of the Columbia River Treaty. The 1964 Columbia River Treaty (CRT) became an international agreement between Canada and the United States to co-ordinate flood control and optimize the earliest date either Canada or the United
States may terminate the CRT is in 2024 as long as one country provides 10-years advance notice. It’s possible either country may wish to renegotiate parts or all of the CRT, or terminate it entirely.
With the support from Columbia Basin Trust the group had been travelling to many communities to hear what people have to say about the future of the treaty. Town of Golden Mayor Christina Benty was on hand at the meetings and thanked the Columbia Basin Trust for helping organize the meeting at the Golden Civic Centre.
One of the leaders at the phase one set of consulta-tions was Kathy Eichenberger, Executive Director of the Columbia River Treaty Review.
Eichenberger stressed these consultations are just the beginning, with plans already in place to return in the fall and update residents.
“After we have looked at all of the interests and we have done at a number of studies to see how future potential decisions will impact those interests we will come back,” Eichenberger said.

On June 23 a 50-year-old female resident of Calgary was part of a group of people rafting down the Kicking Horse River, guided by a Golden rafting company.
They entered the Kicking Horse River in five boats, each carrying eight clients and one guide.
They made one run of the Upper Canyon, “Portage Shotgun” without incident and tried a second run, when one of the rafts capsized.
All rafters were wearing flotation devices, helmets, and wetsuits, however the deceased was immediately
noted to be floating face up, unresponsive.The rafters in the other boats immediately rescued
all of the people from the capsized raft, including the deceased.
Artificial Respiration and CPR was performed on her as she was in respiratory arrest and had no pulse.
The BC Ambulance Service was contacted, responded, and activated the Provincial Emergency Program. The deceased was evacuated by helicopter to the Golden Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Golden/Field RCMP and the BC Coroners Ser-vice are conducting an investigation into the incident.
On the only sunny day Golden saw last week, Friday June 22, families were out enjoy-ing the warm weather at the Golden Swimming Pool, and the adjacent Spray Park. Julie Kronlund, pictured right, was dragged into the excitement by her new friend, three-year-old Landon Perry. Go to www.thegoldenstar.net to see more photos from the Spray Park.

Columbia Basin Trustsubmitted
Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) is partnering with BC Ideas to provide five $10,000 cash awards to reward innovative solutions addressing issues which will improve the lives of residents in the Columbia Basin region.
BC Ideas: Solutions for Stronger Communities is an online compe-tition seeking to identify solutions to deal with challenges facing BC communities now and in the future. This “collabetition” is designed to promote collaboration and infor-mation sharing among participants and experts to improve well-being and strengthen society. All stages of
solutions are welcome and encour-aged, from ideas to established pro-grams.
“BC Ideas is a unique platform that recognizes and helps advance innovative ideas and projects that may benefit Basin communities,” said Neil Muth, CBT President and CEO. “Participants can share their ideas to gain profile and solicit feed-back. In turn, CBT’s support for the competition will enable successful Basin innovators to turn their ideas into action.”
Although a province-wide initia-tive, CBT has committed to provid-ing five $10,000 awards to be given specifically to entries from individ-uals and organizations that identify innovative and sustainable solutions
that have strong potential to result in the greater social, economic and environmental well-being and self-sufficiency of people and commun-ities in the Columbia Basin.
Entries will be evaluated for innovation, impact and sustaina-bility. BC Ideas has over $200,000 in awards available province-wide. Visit www.bcideas.ca to submit ideas, nominate others or find out more information. The competition closes September 12, 2012.
CBT supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environment-al benefits to the residents of the Col-umbia Basin. To learn more about CBT programs and initiatives, vis-it www.cbt.org or call 1-800-505-8998.

Macdonald stresses eight is enoughDarryl [email protected]
July 1 is a day for Canadians to get out and celebrate their country but the date this year will also be the two-month anniversary since the group providing local road rescue service in the area stopped and according to Col-umbia River – Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald the BC Liberal government still has no plan.
The Golden area has been without local road rescue ser-vices since May 1, 2012. The coverage area includes the Trans Canada from the Rogers Pass to Yoho National Park.
“It is the responsibility of the province to ensure that when accidents happen, trained and equipped rescuers are quickly on the scene,” said Macdonald. “These are often life or death situations. But with the summer travel season upon us, there is no one contracted to provide this service in this area.”
It has been estimated that more than 10,000 vehicles per day travel this section of road in the summer months.
Macdonald believes getting the situation resolved should be a top priority of the provincial government.
Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the province is work-ing towards finding a solution to the issue.
“The Province continues to work in good faith with all the partners involved - including MLA Norm Macdonald - to try and find a suitable solution. We continue to explore options to support a qualified group to provide Road Res-cue Service to the region, but we also need to ensure there is a partnership and support at the local level. We under-stand that a timely solution is necessary to support the community and we continue to pursue one,” Bond said.
This plan, based on how other areas of the province provides support, may not work on Golden according to Macdonald.
“There is no question that the government is going to have to move outside its traditional service provision model to solve this problem, and it is going to cost the government money. The current situation is unaccept-able,” he said.
Macdonald admitted to being frustrated with the situa-tion as he does not think it should remain in limbo.
“The Province has to step in and solve there problem here on the provincial roads.”
On May 1, the Province proposed a one-year pilot pro-ject to the Town of Golden “that ensured 100 per cent full reimbursement of costs, plus offered the town $10,000 for their administrative costs to deliver the service for the year. The normal reimbursement rates for things like WorkSafe BC and third party insurance coverage, as well as equipment replacement costs, would still apply. EMBC also offered to support the Fire Department’s applica-tion for gaming grants to help them acquire any new cap-ital assets that would supplement what would already be transferred to them from the GADSAR group,” accord-ing to Bond.
Macdonald does not believe the plan offered to the community would lead to no local costs.
“The assertion there is no cost to the community is clearly not true. If that is the sticking point the Province needs to address it,” he said.
“We are heading into an incredible busy period and this needs to be sorted out.”
Bond wanted to make sure people realize this issue is a priority for the government and said, “To suggest that road rescue hasn’t been a priority simply isn’t accurate. We made a significant proposal that was declined by Council. Recognizing the importance of this issue, we will continue to work to find a satisfactory solution however, it will require a willingness on everyone’s part to be able to do that.”
Macdonald fears that something terrible will have to happen before the government makes any type of concerted effort to rectify what is not being provided in the area.
“The concern I have is that we are in some way wait-ing for a tragedy that is completely unnecessary,” he said. “The expectation the travelling public has, quite correctly, is that the government of B.C. has something in place to deal properly with road rescue in the area.”

Hamilton. Registration for the Dash starts at 9 a.m. At 11 a.m. there will be a couple of events happening in town.

Teachers voice their concerns before summer season startsDarryl [email protected]
Teachers in Golden took to the streets one last time before the end of the school year to con-tinue their protests over the lack of a new con-tract with the Provincial Government. The Teach-ers have been without a new contract for over a year and for the past few months have dedicat-ed a short period of time one afternoon a week to remind local people of the situation they are in.
The outgoing President of the Golden Teachers Association, Bob Wilson, was on hand at the pro-test.
He thinks it is import-ant for people to remem-ber how this process has affected both the teach-ers and the students this year.
“All we have right now to show for our years worth of work is Bill 22 which took away our right to legally strike. It imposed this cooling off period where they appointed a mediator who we feel is biased and shouldn’t be the medi-ator to try and settle the agreement,” Wilson said.
He went on and said some small steps have
been made, but whether they can hammer out an agreement by the dead-line remains to be seen.
One of the concerns for the teachers is the possibility that the gov-ernment will force an
agreement on them if the mediation fails to work.
“At the end of all of this and I look at what we have been through, I am concerned about the lack of respect for work-ing people in the prov-
ince. Whether they are employed in the prov-incial or public sector it seems like our rights are under attack from this provincial government,” Wilson said. “As teach-ers we will be going back
to the classrooms in Sep-tember and we will work our hardest to ensure that students have what they need to be successful. It would be nice to start the year with a negotiat-ed collective agreement
which has provisions that support student learning and respects teachers. Whether that happens remains to be seen.”
Wilson went on and said he has been amazed by the local teachers who
have been going out week after week show-ing their commitment to public education.
“Teachers think this is more than just an elec-tion issue. It is a bigger issue than that,” he said.

House Trailer Endorsement Ah, summertime! Let’s get the RV out of storage and plan some serious recreation. Regardless of the length of your planned road trip, operating an RV safely and legally will maximize your pleasure and head off trouble before it happens. Towing most recreational vehicles does not require more than a valid class 5 or class 7 driver’s licence here in BC. However, some castles on wheels weigh more than 4,600 kilograms when fully loaded require either a house trailer endorsement (code 07) on these licences or a higher licence class or a heavy trailer endorsement (code 20). Forget this detail and a traffic check can halt your vacation trip on the spot. Now that you have thought about it and decided that you need the house trailer endorsement, how do you proceed? Pick up or download a copy of Towing a Recreational Trailer from ICBC. Study it thoroughly because you will have to pass a recreational trailer knowledge test. You will also have to have your vision and hearing checked and answer questions based on your medical health. You will be issued a learner driver’s licence if you are successful. Once you’ve practiced, schedule your road test. Be prepared to demonstrate a proper pre-trip inspection and complete the road test while towing a house trailer that weighs more than 4,600 kg. Also, check out your local driving school. Many schools have specific RV towing courses to help you prepare with confidence.

She said it is important to come back and explain to Basin residents how their concerns have been con-sidered before making a recommendation to govern-ment.
Eichenberger said the first phase of meetings have been going very well.
“People are very engaged. They are looking for infor-mation to understand what the process is and what are some of the issues,” Eichenberger said.
During the Golden meeting there were frustrations from certain people in attendance about how the agree-ment was made and promises they believe were not kept.
“We do understand and have heard it loud and clear that the residents in the Basin were not consulted around the original signing of the treaty. They expect us to do it right this time and we are committed to that,” Eichen-berger said.
Town of Golden Coun. Ron Oszust asked multiple questions to the representatives during the meeting. Some of the questions revolved around the 2009 Gold-en Area Initiatives commissioned Kinbasket Reservoir Commercial and Recreation Opportunities Study.
“It was noted that the potential impacts of tourism-recreation development will only partially offset the identified significant economic losses that our area has suffered,” said Oszust.
“As a result of ‘our’ reservoir providing 40 per cent of the power for the Province of B.C. we continue to have annual economic losses in our area estimated at $12.4 million....that’s annually.”
Oszust went on to explain why he felt this situation was not being fair to the locals involved.
“This is not acceptable. Investment by the Prov-ince is needed so that we may realize key recreation-
al opportunities identified in the study. We need more money for debris clean-up, especially in years of ‘full-pond’ or near full-pond. We need Provincial funding to enhance access roads to and along the shoreline, along with improved road maintenance. We need to be able to remove stumps to improve navigational safety. We need upgrades of Provincial Recreation Sites and Campgrounds.
“This would be a start to providing an economic stimu-lus to our area. Ms. Eikenberger stated ‘I think it’s going to be different this time.’ Personally I will have to see that to believe it. This isn’t much different than the negotia-tions by BC Hydro and the Province back in the days of the building of the reservoirs. I say to Ms. Eikenberger and the Province, please listen and pay attention to the concerns of our community. Listen and pay attention to our voices. Listen and pay attention to our documents”
Eichenberger said she understands where people may have their doubts but the sessions are just one way they are trying to make sure people have to get the chance to have their voices heard.
“They do. Very much so. Is there some skepticism to whether their voices will be heard. Yeah, perhaps. I think we can expect that to some degree. Our team is committed that we will demonstrate to the citizens that their voices have been heard,” she said.
Eichenberger added she understands even though it is a very large and complicated issue they are working at getting any information people request out to them.
Some of the key issues which were discussed in the phase one discussions revolved around better oper-ations in dealing with the ecosystem and the effects of reservoir levels.
People also want to know about the benefits which come in from the treaty and have shared their views on where this financial prosperity should be spent.
Oszust pushes for local voices to be heard
STARS mobilizes trauma trainingJessica [email protected]
Local health care professionals were treated to some state-of-the-art simulation last week when the STARS Air Ambulance Mobile Education Program stopped in Golden.
This mobile program, which is the first of its kind in North America, features a human patient simulator that replicates complex medical and traumatic problems.
“Mostly we tend to lean towards hospitals and their doctors and nurses. And we just run through cases,” said the educator Dave Allison, who is also a flight paramed-ic with STARS. “We pick about half a dozen of the sick-est patients they will see in their career, and we use the mannequin, kill it if we have to. And we talk about the case afterwards.”
The mannequins have been installed in two motor-homes, creating large mobile emergency rooms. The cutting edge technology emulates human beings going through traumas. It speaks and breathes, blinks and has reactive pupils, has a heartbeat and a pulse, and accur-ately mirrors human responses to such procedures as CPR, intravenous medication, and catheterization.
“Other than being able to get up and walk away, it can do just about anything a human can,” said Allison. Doctors, nurses and paramedics from Golden got to run through trauma situations in the motorhome as it was parked in front of the Golden Hospital.
“It breathes in oxygen, breathes out carbon dioxide,” he said. “If a crew decides to give him medication, he will respond to that medication just like a human would.”
The education is also available for all those who find themselves in first responder situations including EMS, Ski Patrol and Fire Departments.
“For Golden our main goal this time around was to hit the hospital and a bit of the EMS as well,” said Allison, adding that they try to hit many communities at least once a year, so groups wanting to receive the education will have another chance.
STARS is funded through various means, including government support as well as corporate and individual donations. It is therefore able to offer this program, free to its participants.
“It’s really important for us to come out and provide the education for free,” said Allison.

If you don’t know how to swim, you might want to learn soon.
It seems as though Moth-er Nature has decided that we all looked a little too dry, and that flooding the province was a fitting solution.
Another flood watch has been issued for the Kicking Horse River (Monday June 25), and you can clearly see the waves splashing the grass on Gould’s Island.
Residents along the Fras-er Valley have been evacu-ated, and the rising Shuswap and Thompson rivers have people in the Thompson Okanagan region worried.
The hardest hit so far has been Sicamous, who has seen damaged homes and dozens of cars swept away after flash floods tore through the town. So far, 350 people have been evacuated from their homes.
A mudslide west of Revel-stoke had highway crews working overtime trying to get the Trans Canada back open.
At Goose Creek, near Castlegar, the floods turned fatal on June 23 as a 72-year-old man was swept away by rising creek water.
The man was walking across the creek on a pri-vate bridge, when the entire
bridge was washed away.It makes Golden’s situa-
tion look relatively mild. But I must say, this town has seen its share of natural disasters.
Avalanches and rockslides have had the highways closed on a semi-regular basis this year.
And I’ve been told that the most irritating natural phe-nomenon is still to come, as the mosquitos will start ter-rorizing Golden in the next few weeks.
It is important to be as pre-pared as possible — have a proper emergency and evacuation plan, fill sand bags. Buy bug spray.
But in the end, we are all slaves to Mother Nature. So keep a floaty close by and watch the show.

Isn’t it funny how fast a year can pass.
It was on Canada Day last year that I started working at The Golden Star and what a year it has been.
Canada Day is that rare moment in Canada where people get a little brash and go out and show some pride in our country.
It is not that as Canadians we are not proud but we do have a subtle side which con-trols the level of bold pride we are willing to throw out there for the rest of the world to see.
It seems appropriate the 2012 Summer Games in London are just around the corner.
After seeing how people responded to the Vancouver Games here is hoping the athletes who compete in London show both their skills and what it truly means to be Canadian.
Of course what it means to be Canadian is a tough question to answer.
It was always an interesting part when travelling to hear what people who had never been to Canada before thought about our country.
The range went from Canada had to really be the happiest place on earth where all people got along to the cry of a social-ist playground where no one could succeed.
The truth is being Canadian is much like the geographical nature of the country and the people in it are varied generally depending on where you might be. I personally do not think we would want it any other way.
Part of the greatness of this country is the fact of how people from all over the world have come here with their own sense of culture and how it has mixed to create the web which makes us who we are.
From cities like Toronto to smaller towns like Golden all you have to do is take a stroll and you see the influences which make the country whole.
This does not mean we live in utopia. Many people have issues and province to province things
can be very different. There are uprisings about many issues. The environment versus financial gain, where and how
money should be spent, collective bargaining could be a thing of the past, taxes, guns, should pot be legal, tuition hikes, treat-ies, bridges, bears and deer, the battle for small towns to sur-vive and will this be the year for the Canucks. So much to think about and so little time to figure it all out.
The nice part is you can get out and have your say when you agree or do not agree with what is happening around you.
That is a right which we should never take for granted.I am currently living in my fourth province and I have lit-
erally travelled from East to West driving from Newfoundland to British Columbia less than two years ago.
That was a first for me.I have flown across the country many times but to take a
route through the Maritimes, into Quebec, across the vast space which is Northern Ontario which led into a day run across much of the Prairies before heading once again into the Rocky Mountains is something I would advise that if this is something you have not done yet it should be on a list of great things to do in Canada.
You just never know what a day in the car will reveal about the country you are from.

Truly GoldenAlthough I am feeling much anticipation, excitement and
delight in regards to our upcoming move, my heart aches while saying good-bye to a wonderful community. Our family has been privileged to call Golden home for some time and we would like to pay tribute to this magical place and its terrific residents.
Thank you to all our loving and caring friends who have stood by us through both happy and challenging times. Golden cares, and shows time and time again how members in our commun-ity support each other; a fine leadership skill to be proud of.
It never seizes to amaze me how much Golden has to offer with the many talented and accomplished people living here.
Both, as a mother of two kids, and through my work and per-sonal interests, I have had the opportunity to participate in
many different activities and circles. I have been fortunate to have enjoyed a versatile lifestyle in
a peaceful and safe environment while raising my children and exploring new ventures.
Thank you to my clients and colleagues who have supported and enabled my vision in creating evolving marketing solutions for a variety of local entrepreneurs.
Golden - you are remarkable! We will keep you close to our hearts, spread the word on how incredible life in a small BC mountain town is, and keep returning to our cherished outdoor playground.

Star EDITORIAL AND OPINIONThe Golden Star Wednesday, June 27, 2012 www.thegoldenstar.net A7
- MLA Report -By Norm Macdonald
June and July are generally a time when I get back into the constituency after the Spring Legislative Session, but this year I am spending this time serving as Deputy Chair of the Special Committee on Timber Supply. The meeting schedule for this committee has me travelling throughout British Columbia with little time in my own communities.
While it is difficult spending so much time away from the constitu-ency, the time spent focusing on the challenges within the forest indus-try is important to rural communities across the province.
These are challenging times. There have been market difficulties since 2008. And the pine beetle infesta-tion has fundamentally changed the industry in the central interior. Cli-mate change will continue to force
us to take innovative action to ensure that forestry continues to be a viable industry in this province.
As part of the Timber Supply com-mittee, I have heard from forest pro-fessionals, First Nations, local gov-ernment representatives and forest workers, and it is clear to me that tre-mendous wisdom sits in rural com-munities.
We understand best how to manage our forest lands. And we want more say in how our forest lands are cared for.
For eleven years, the BC Liber-al government has pursued a very specific forest policy. That policy has resulted in fewer forestry jobs, a less resilient forest and reduced competi-tion. And rural communities are pay-ing the price. So far, 35,000 forestry jobs have been lost. And more job
losses are predicted.The Opposition has laid out a for-
est policy that will begin to return for-estry to its traditional place as one of British Columbia’s most prosperous industries.
Our policy includes a move towards much greater utilization of the resource. That means less raw log exports, more value-added and encouraging innovation to get the most jobs possible out of every log.
We also believe that we can’t have a healthy forest industry without healthy forests. This will mean that we have to make a substantial investment in forest health. Our forest lands are our greatest asset, and that investment will provide dividends in return.
The Opposition supports the return of a job protection commissioner to assist forestry-dependent commun-
ities in diversifying and developing new opportunities in forestry.
And an NDP government would invest in skills training. Our forest industry cannot be successful if British Columbia does not have the skilled workforce it requires.
I believe that forestry can once again be a primary economic driver in British Columbia, but it will take a concerted and deliberate effort on the part of government. And I believe that rural British Columbians are demanding that effort from their gov-ernment, a belief that has been con-firmed by the many submissions that have been made to the Timber Sup-ply committee thus far.
If you have something you would like to tell the Timber Supply commit-tee, submissions can be received in writing until July 20th. You can email
your thoughts to [email protected] or contact my office for fur-ther options.
Oily subjectDear Editor:There’s been another pipeline leak in
Alberta. About 230,000 litres of black gold has spilled all over farmland near Elk Point, north-east of Edmonton.
It’s the third dystopic gusher in a month. Crews are still working to clean up an 800,000
litre spill from a well owned by Pace Oil & Gas Ltd close to the Northwest Territories border, and a spill of up to 480,000 litres from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline into the Red Deer River.
The pipeline involved in the most recent spill belongs to Enbridge.
That company is currently undergoing com-
munity hearings in anticipation of building the Northern Gateway Pipeline from Bruderheim, Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. that’s set to traverse rug-ged mountains, pristine wilderness and areas of high geotechnical risk, including avalanches, slides and seismic activity.
The bitumin will then be loaded onto super-tankers bound for Asia that really have no hope of safely navigating the notoriously treacherous waters of the Inside Passage.
In April, NDP leader Adrian Dix said that under the Enbridge proposal, British Columbia would assume almost all the project’s risk, yet would see only a fraction of the benefits.
By any measure, such a high-risk, low-return approach simply isn’t in B.C.’s interests.”
In May, Premier Christy Clark described the Northern Gateway project as a balance of risk
and benefit. She admitted that the project would create
almost no jobs in B.C. It creates some jobs in the construction phase
but there are very few long-term jobs that would be left in the province after that.
Like Dix, she concluded that it’s a high-risk, low-return game. B.C. is taking 100 per cent of the risk.
But at the moment B.C. gets about the same benefit as Nova Scotia.”
The risk-benefit ratio could improve, of course, if Alberta offers B.C. access fees or a share of royalties.
But it’s still a no-win proposition when one cal-culates the profound costs of the inevitable spills and the loss of the coastline, the fisheries, and the ancestral grounds of First Nations livelihood
and culture. Just last week the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives released a report, A Green Indus-trial Revolution, showing that carbon-intensive industrial policies can be overcome and a transi-tion made to a sustainable economy and a zero carbon Canada.
It’s scarcely the first report of its kind. Such possibilities are anything but new news.
There’s actually no reason for Canadians to be browbeaten into embracing fossil fuel develop-ment as a divine order and oil spills as the status quo by politicians who are acting on behalf of their corporate sponsors, the oil and gas indus-try, rather than their constituents.

Committee says no to provincial ban
The British Columbia Special Com-mittee on Cosmetic Pesticide use should be commended for examining the issue of urban pesticide use so thoroughly.
The committee received 8675 sub-missions and held 22 meetings where presentations were made by dozens of witnesses including experts from Health Canada, environmental groups, industry organizations, scientific organ-izations and academics.
In the end, the committee made 17 recommendations but came to the con-clusion that scientific evidence does not warrant preventing British Colum-bians from buying and using approved pesticides so pesticides should not be banned in B.C.
The committee did its due diligence on this topic and discovered that pesti-cides in Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency which employs over 350 scien-tists who are experts in their field. The review process involves a comprehen-sive set of 200 tests and a review of all
scientifically credible studies that exist to ensure the product will not cause harm to people, animals or the environ-ment.
If the report from the committee had been different and they had instead recommended a ban, the groups that are unhappy with the actual outcome would be commending the govern-ment on a thorough process that looked at all available science before making the decision they did.
It’s ironic that these same groups only like the growing and suggestive body of evidence when it yields the answer they want fortunately for Canadians science doesn’t work that way.
The B.C. Special Committee on Cos-metic Pesticide Use did look at all avail-able science and made the right deci-sion to continue to ensure British Col-umbians have access to useful tools to protect private and public properties from pests.
Sincerely,
Lorne Hepworth President, CropLife Canada representing
the plant science industry
Rural British Columbians want more say in how forest lands are managed
Health caresDear Editor,The recently published Canadian
Wait Time Alliance Report Card on wait times for medical care in Canada contains two findings that should make members of the public and policy makers take note.
The report estimates that one in six hospital beds are now occupied by patients who do not require acute care services but who end up in hos-pital due to a shortage of preventa-tive, community-based health ser-
vices. Wait times are best addressed by improving the entire health care continuum and investing in pri-mary health care services, includ-ing home support and residential care, that will improve quality of care for seniors and keep them out of expensive and inappropriate hos-pital beds. The report also notes the important role played by the fed-eral government in setting nation-al health strategies and facilitating their implementation.
Much progress has been made in reducing wait times in the five areas identified as priorities by fed-
eral, provincial and territorial gov-ernments under the 2004 Health Accord. Unfortunately, the feder-al government has stated that after the current Health Accord expires in 2014, it will continue to provide some funding, but no leadership for health care.
This isn’t good enough. Our pub-licly funded health care system requires the shared commitment and cooperation of Ottawa and the provinces.
Rick Turner, Co-chair, BC Health Coalition
Thanks to HospiceOn behalf of Golden & District
Hospital and Staff we’d like to thank the members of the Hospice Soci-ety for the acute care patient lounge makeover.
They’ve been working with Hos-pital staff for the past several months to improve and beautify the lounge.
Through their efforts and input, the area has been completely reno-vated and updated.
Renovations included painting the room, building a half wall for privacy and the installation of new ceiling lights.
The volunteers purchased the new furniture and TV for the area; making the room comfortable for the patients using the space.
We truly appreciate the Hospice
Society’s commitment to the com-munity and facility and are thrilled with the changes to the lounge. Thank you for the wonderful “makeover”.

Public Notice Discharging Flood Water into Sanitary System Prohibited
It’s that time of year when if the water in the Columbia is high, many residents are seeing water accumulate in their basements – the legacy of living in a community built on a floodplain and affected by a rising water table.
Residents using a sump pump to deal with this situation MUST NOT discharge the water into our sanitary system either through a home’s cleanout or placing hose outlet into a sanitary manhole. Water discharged into our sanitary system is very costly to treat and if left unchecked could overwhelm our treatment plant resulting in an extremely costly and bad situation for our entire community.
Sump pumps may discharge onto the street where the water is captured in either localized catch basins or in the storm water drainage system. The Town of Golden thanks all residents for their cooperation in this matter.
- Turning Back the Pages -By Colleen Palumbo

With the assistance of Columbia Basin Trust, the students at Gold-en Secondary School students have had the chance to take part in special yoga classes this semester.
Taught by local yoga instructor Dalia Yanai, the students have been coming out to the classes and learning about yoga.
Yanai has a yoga studio in Golden called Golden Lotus Ayurveda and has enjoyed her time with the students since the end of spring break.
“I have been teach-ing for quite a while and I have started teach-ing pre-school children this year. I have also had more teenagers come to my studio for classes,” Yanai said. “It made me realize how important it is to start early with this. I wish I had started ear-lier.”
She went on to say this was a great chance to give something back to the students where they could come in and relax which is different from many activities they are involved with.
Yanai believes this can help students build their
self esteem while help-ing them have a more positive connection with their bodies.
“I am hoping we will get more funding and be able to start at the begin-ning of next year. I have really enjoyed it,” Yanai said.
She also said that a number of athletes have come to the class-es to work on their core strength and flexibility.
“I am very grateful of the opportunity to work with the students and hope to be able to do more in the future.”
She went on and thanked the CBT who
helped get the program off the ground.
Taking the yoga experience to GSS
The recent rain storms have people asking questions about heavy rains in the past that have caused considerable damage. One of the most costly rain incidents is recorded in 2000 Golden Mem-ories.
Early in the morning of Fri-day, September 4, 1931, the clouds opened up at Glacier and caused the creek, which normally ran past the station, to burst out of its banks at some point above the tunnel and flood the ventilating power house and then block the tunnel.
At 7:30 a.m. the engineer on duty in the power house could hear the raging flood and notified the chief engineer who came to the scene immediately.
Between them they were able to make everything secure and get to safety. They had just reached safe-ty when they looked back to see the lower windows in the power house smashed by a huge volume of water, which carried with it boulders of unbelievable size and immense logs which had, not many minutes before, stood on the banks of the normally quiet creek.
Within half an hour, all the local bridges had been washed away, as had the tennis club house and half the tennis court. By now the power house was half full of the soft grey silt that the raging creek had brought with it. The concrete slab at the
power house was washed away and slid in to the Connaught Tunnel.
The track was no longer straight lines of steel and signals, but rather acted like a canal, directing all the water into the tunnel, effectively blocking it off.
By noon the water had reached the eastern portal of the tunnel and had carried away with it 22,000 ties and completely washed out 20 feet of track at Connaught. The station was now in a position of being car-ried away as well, all the soil that had been sitting on it had been washed away.
About this time, with six feet of raging water covering everything in sight, it was decided that some-thing must be done to get the water back in its proper channel or at least direct it elsewhere. The rain was still pouring down as men began to come from all directions, most unprepared for the battle they were about to face.
Action was what was needed, and soon the engineer and others in charge put together a plan to tame the unruly monster. Gangs of men were sent up the creek to where the water had jumped out of the con-fines of its banks. They used dyna-mite to blast log jams and huge boul-ders out of the creek bed and to deepen the channel so that it would cope with the volume of water.
The blasting operations went on
through the rest of the day and into the night. Come morning it was apparent that they were winning the battle. Many precautionary meas-ures were taken to ensure the safety of the men working on the project. Heavy sandbagging was carried out along the banks as well as several other ingenious devices.
The entire system of the C.P.R. was affected and heads of every department turned out to handle their own particular branch. Offi-cials made the trip to the site from Vancouver in just 11 hours.
Eighty hours after the original onslaught of water, the rails were cleared, ready to run on, the tele-graph wires and poles were being reattached and secured.
The Connaught Tunnel certainly made the men of the day think. With its one and a half percent grade, how the water made its way through the five miles so quickly was definite-ly something to think about in the future. A baby caterpillar was used inside the tunnel to clear away the rocks, silt and trees and with an incredible effort on the part of the men involved, regular service was resumed on the main line on Friday morning, September 11.
It would be some time however, before the residents of Glacier were able to recover, each thankful that there was no loss of human life dur-ing those first dark days.

GADSAR hosts the communityJessica [email protected]
The Golden and Dis-trict Search and Rescue (GADSAR) held their first open house at their new building on Satur-day June 23.
Search and Res-cue members and their families, as well as resi-dents from the commun-ity enjoyed a relatively rain-free afternoon at the group’s new home locat-ed beside the airport at
210 Fisher Road.Attendees got to view
the new facility, look at some of the equipment that Search and Rescue uses, including the heli-copter, and enjoy a bar-becue lunch.
GADSAR has been in the new building since October of last year after a generous dona-tion from the Columbia Basin Trust.
GADSAR was formed in 1965 and is the Golden and Area A’s sole provid-er of mountain rescue, avalanche rescue, swift water rescue, ice rescue, back country medical rescue, and missing per-sons.
The entirely volun-teer-run organization has roughly 25 members, all of whom donate their time on a weekly basis.

Local GoGos help raise money to help African grandmothers
Darryl [email protected]
The Rockies for African Gogos in Golden held a special lunch-eon which also gave people the chance to buy handmade jewelery from Africa on June 20.
One of the organizers of the event was Davene Dunn who explained why the group decided to have the lunch and sale.
“We know that everyone is busy in Golden and with the rain this year we missed our chance to hold our jewelery sale. With sum-mertime coming we got busy and decided to try and do a soup day,” Dunn said.
With the weather co-operating many people were gathering on
Dunn’s deck to have a homemade lunch with a view.The ladies receive the Kazuri jewelery trough the Stephen
Lewis Foundation which works with grandmothers and families in Africa to help them have a better life. Dunn explained why she thinks this is an important cause to be involved with.
“Because I think even the poorest of the poor in Canada have a social net. Where as in Africa you watch your child die in pain with no medicine or help,” an emotional Dunn said.
“It is pretty important work to be done,” volunteer Brenda Ber-nat added.
Another part of the sale involved the selling of plants. After looking for some pots to put the plants in for the sale many
people came to help Dunn out.
“I got plants donated and pots were coming into my driveway. I thought I was going to be selling pots,” Dunn said.
Another person who wanted to help was Pamela Tetrault from Mountainside Gardens.
She was holding a pancake breakfast for father’s day and col-lected donations for the group and gave a portion of sales for the day to the event.
“I think they are doing something good and we wanted to help her in any way we could. We raised $110 from the donations and we are going to match the amount. So it will be a $220 donation in total,” Tetrault said.
Dunn said everyone who has been helping the group has been amazing.
Over $2000 was raised by the Rockies for African Gogos along with help of local volunteers and businesses. Picture above left are Rockies for African Gogos members Davene Dunn, Nicole Lussier along with Pamela Tetrault from Mountainside Gardens.

After growing up in Fort St. John, artist Shelley Soles made her way to Golden in 1984.
Since then she has continued to find different ways to express herself through her art while living in Golden.
“I have always been creative. I have enjoyed sewing and painting. I enjoy working with my hands,” Soles said. “I enjoy woodworking as well.”
After moving into a new house Soles decided she would make her own birdhouse and a new path of creativity had begun.
“A few other people liked it so I built some for them. Then my daughter was going to a soccer tournament and they needed to raise money so I made one to help with that,” she said.
Since she started making the birdhouses Soles has had some
on display at the Art Gallery of Golden and also continues to help fundraising for many dif-ferent groups.
Soles said she really enjoys making the birdhouses for many different reasons.
“They are something for me to do which is creative. It helped pay for my kids to go to university. I also enjoy selling them at craft fairs and getting to hang out with the other sellers,” Soles said.
Much of the material she uses comes from all over the Colum-bia Valley. Soles uses old fences and other materials which she for the most part recycles.
“Many people bring me rusty things and ask me if I would like to use them,” Soles said.
Over the years her husband Bill has gotten involved by helping put the basic structure together.
Soles also has her work dis-played in shops in both Inver-
mere and Lake Louise. To see more of her work local-
ly stop by the Art Gallery of Golden.
Art that both people and birds can get into
Shelley Soles has taken her passion to be creative and created one of a kind bird houses. Darryl Crane/ Star Photo

For the past nine years students and staff at Golden Secondary School have worked with vice-prin-cipal and art teacher Barry Johnson.
At the end of this school year Johnson will be saying good-bye to teaching and starting a new time in his life when he retires.
Before coming to Golden, John-son worked in Alberta for 23 years in various capacities.
“I am going to stick around Gold-en. There are no big, strange or start-ling kind of plans. It will be typical
stuff. Spend more times with kids and family and maybe grandkids on the horizon,” Johnson said.
He also plans on doing some of the things he has put off doing over the years including creating some art.
He also is looking forward to enjoying the outside life in the area.
Johnson said there was not any particular reason why he made the decision now other than things seemed to be at the right point and he does have many friends who have retired and talk about a great life they are leading.
As for next September Johnson
admitted there will be things he will miss about the job.
“I will miss working with the great staff here and of course work-ing around teenagers. I believe they help keep a person young,” he said.
Over the years in his vice princi-pal roles Johnson said he has had to deal with many different situations which could have caused a great deal of stress.
Humour is one thing which has helped him through the years.
“I try to find the funny side of stories. There is usually some cute aspect of situations. There are some serious situations which have to
remain that way but most of it is human nature playing itself out,” Johnson said.
With his final countdown already started Johnson did have a message for all of the people at the school.
“Keep looking after each other and looking after yourselves. There is an exceptional culture in this school. There is a lot of support for kids and the students themselves look after each other,” he said.
“Here there are some great sup-port for students and parents are involved. I think we have some great citizens graduating from GSS every year.”

Jaybirds ready for summer fun
Culprits come to Rockwater
Jessica [email protected]
For Summer Kicks’ third performance of the season, Kicking Horse Culture is bring-ing in a Juno-nominated bluegrass band with a long history in Canadian music.
John Reischman and the Jaybirds have spent the last four years touring across North America and Europe, delighting audiences with their unique, yet traditional sound.
Frontman John Reischman, a mando-lin master, began exploring fingerpicking and blues styles with the guitar at age 12. It wasn’t until the age of 17 he found his true calling with the acoustic mandolin.
Reischman’s synthesis of this wide range of genres was honed over more than two decades of performing beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s.
He cemented his reputation touring and recording for many years with the Bay Area’s eclectic Good Ol’ Persons before moving to Vancouver in the early 1990s to pursue a solo career.
Now a familiar figure at bluegrass, folk and jazz festivals, Reichman is also a highly-regarded teacher and participates in music camps and workshops throughout North America.
In addition to Reichman, the Jaybirds include highly regarded veterans Jim Nun-ally on guitar and vocals, Trisha Gagnon on
bass and vocals, Nick Hornbuckle on banjo and Greg Spatz on fiddle.
John Reischman and the Jaybirds offer a blend of vintage gems, original vocal songs and trademark original instrumentals – vari-ously bluesy, hard-edge and haunting – that make them one of the most interesting bands on the circuit today. Their virtuosity, inspir-ing material and heartfelt vocals generate a live performance not to be missed.
They have played in fold and bluegrass festivals all over North America and Europe, and they will be playing the Spirit Square in Golden on Friday July 6 at 7 p.m.

The Rockwater Grill and Bar has been work-ing hard this spring to bring in as much live enter-tainment as possible, and they have a great line-up set for the summer.
This one is for the metal fans. The Counter Culprits out of Kamloops will be taking the stage on Thursday July 12.
Four friends from the prairies set out to make a name for themselves on the Canadian Rock scene. They came together in a house in Kam-loops to create an ever increasing set list of mem-orable Rock and Roll tunes.
Now known for their catchy choruses and rockin’ solos, the group were good friends long before the band came along. It is what gives them the advantage above the rest.
The Counter Culprits intend to devour the
Great White North with their own form of Rock and Roll that combines elements of songs in G.
Go to www.myspace.com/counterculprits to check out their music.
Don’t forget that Juno-winners Said the Whale will be stopping by Golden for a show on Sat-urday July 7, with opening act Willhorse. Tick-ets are on sale now at the Rockwater and Plain Wayne and Jane, $15 in advance and $20 at the door.Also, the Rockwater recently announced that they have booked Canadian rock band Sloan for a concert in September.
Originally from Halifax, the long-time Toron-to scenesters have been making music for two decades, and have enjoyed plenty of Muchmusic and rock-radio airplay.
Tickets for the September 7 show are going on sale July 1 at the Rockwater and Plain Wayne and Jane. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door.
Summer Kicks off with WillhorseLocal Golden band Willhorse hit the stage and put on a great show at the first night of the Summer Kicks series in Golden. The band stepped in when the original band who were going to perform ran into car issues on their way to Golden. Willhorse played many origi-nal songs and mixed in covers with their own unique twist such as a great ver-sion of “All Along the Watchtower.” To see more photos of the show check out The Golden Star website.Darryl Crane/Star Photo

Married to Vicki, Paul was working for the Bank of Montreal in Kelowna when the opportunity arose for him to return to Golden. He applied, and was the successful candidate, for the position of General Manager of Columbia Valley Credit Union and he commenced his duties on May 20, 1980. Paul and Vicki’s fi rst son, David, was born in Golden on October 6, 1980 and Anthony was born on January 10, 1985. Throughout his career, Paul devoted a great deal of his time to ensure the Credit Union became the successful autonomous fi nancial institution it is today. In the beginning, Columbia Valley Credit Union had assets of just over $4,000,000 and, at the end of 2011, the Credit Union had assets around $145,000,000.
Under his direction, the Credit Union has gone through several major renovations to the building over the years, with the most recent renovation completed in October, 2011. He always ensured the members were delivered value added services, which include the fi rst ATM installed in Golden, phone and internet banking, a coin/bill dispensing machine, E-statements and many other of the latest technological services.Columbia Valley Credit Union will continue to support different local groups and organizations through community donations, even through these tough economic times.

Rockets hope to add some grit to this year’s rosterJessica [email protected]
It may be the off-season for the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, but the Golden Rockets are in full recruitment mode.
Head Coach Ty Davidson, and the rest of the Rockets staff, were in Kamloops a few weeks back for the team's spring camp.
"Spring camp in Kamloops went really well. It exceeded all our expectations," said Davidson. "It's the first one we've ever done and we had about 56 kids."
Very few of the 56 kids will ever see ice time in Golden. Sixteen players from last year's roster will be returning for the 2012/2013 season. Davidson expects that five or six guys from spring camp will make the team.
"I think the one thing we lacked last year, and a lot of people in Golden would agree, and that's toughness and grit. That was a real priority for us in this off-season," said Davidson. And that has been his number one priority while recruiting in the off-season.
He is hoping that new recruit Carter Cochran from Kamloops, younger brother of former Rocket Tanner Cochran, will help fill that gap.
"He's a very highly touted young defenceman... He was very sought-after, and I was very fortunate to get him," said Davidson.
Also expected to put on a Rockets uniform this season, pro-vided he doesn't make a Junior A team, is 6 foot 2 forward Felix Larouche.
"He is going to add some size and grit up front," said Davidson.Last season the Rockets were knocked out of the playoffs after
only four games in the first round. Davidson is confident that
won't happen again."I'm expecting huge things with this returning group here. I
think we've got four solid lines up front, we've got a great group of guys on the back end. And Cole Henson coming back in net, I think will arguably be one of the best goaltenders in the league," he said. "My vision is to win a KIJHL Championship, not just make it past the first round."
That vision is shared by team president Curt Thorne, who took on that position at the beginning of last season. It was a change that Davidson, now in his third year in Golden, says has made a signifi-cant difference with the team.
"I think Curt and I are on the same page now, and it should make for some really entertaining hockey for the folks of Gold-en this year."

Golden Kicking Horse Alpine Team gets ready for next seasonDarryl [email protected]
Though summer may be just around the corner the mem-bers of the Golden Kicking Horse Alpine Team (GKHAT) are busy preparing for next season.
President of GKHAT, Mark Baxendale, said the group is working hard to get registrations for next season.
People who would like to register can do so online at gkhat.ca with a super early bird deal to give the same rates as last
year to those who register by August 30.The reason for the early registration is so the team can hire
its coaches for the new season.“We hire coaches and we need to hire coaches to have in
place for when the snow flies in December,” Baxendale said.He went on to stress the group wants to get things in place
and ready to go so they can take full usage of the hills this year.
As for what the club offers young skiers Baxendale sees many benefits.
“It gives discipline and technical skills on how to negotiate race gates,” he said. “The ability to have tackle a slalom course gives the ability to take on almost anything else.”
Baxendale went on to explain that if children can do this from a young age then they will be able to move forward with their abilities at a higher level as time goes on.
“It is a great fun time. We look to the fundamentals of the course and we look for a balance between the fun side of it and the experience of skiing. It sets the kids up for enjoying the sport for the rest of their life,” he said.

Girlz just want to have fun in the summerJessica [email protected]
The summer session of the Golden Women’s Resource Centre’s Girlz Group is about to begin.
The centre’s hugely suc-cessful Girlz Group pro-grams, that start new six-week sessions every sea-son. “This is just a place for the girls to be, ask their questions, get hon-est answers and have fun,” said Linley McLean, exec-utive director of the Gold-en Women’s Resource Centre. McLean runs the Girlz Group with Sarah Wegelin, special projects co-ordinator with the cen-tre.
“Our goal is to provide a space where the girls can
speak their own opinions, and maybe come out of their shell a little bit,” said Wegelin. For the summer session, there will be two week-long camps; one for the Grade 5 girls, and one for the Grade 6 and 7 girls.
“The summer is all about crafts,” said McLean. “Based on feedback from the girls we’ll be doing games in the park, making friendship bracelets, vol-unteering in the commun-ity, doing some letter writ-ing, a fashion show, a pot-luck. It sounds like a lot for just one week.”
McLean and Wegel-in have been running the Girlz Group for sever-al years, and they always have a new experience, and learn from the diverse
group of girls who partici-pate.
“We see some new faces every fall with the Grade 5s, and we say goodbye to our Grade 7s too in the summer. It’s great to see the rotation,” said Wege-lin.
At the end of the week, during the potluck dinner, there is the question and answer period. There is a question box in the wash-room at the Women’s Centre, and girls can put in whatever question they have anonymously.
“The questions range from anything like math, to more serious stuff like friendships and relation-ships,” said McLean. “I find in our discussions it’s really interesting what
they come up with, and we try to let them direct the conversation. I’m always impressed.”
Registration forms are being (or have already been) handed out at the schools, and participants can just drop the forms off at the Women’s Centre on 9th Avenue North.
The group usually caps at 10 girls per session Weg-elin and McLean like to keep the numbers rela-tively small to make sure each girl gets the prop-er attention and time to speak during the discus-sions. For more informa-tion go to www.goldenwo-mencentre.ca.
Janne Arlt, PrincipalNicholson Elementary As another school year comes to a close, we
have been having many end of year celebra-tions and events.
Last week we had our Grade 7 Farewell. Our oldest students are looking forward to moving on to the high school but take a lot of memories of their elementary years with them. Family and friends joined us for a cele-bration of their time at Nicholson and to wish them well in their futures.
Classes have enjoyed field trips to Calgary,
Radium, and all around town. The swimming program has been taking place every Mon-day in June. Our winning house team for the second half of the year, the Tapirs, enjoyed an afternoon of bowling and treats last week.
The Wildfire Safety crew came to visit a couple of classes to talk about forest fire safety. They brought along Smokey the Bear to help share their message.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve had stu-dents awarded with prizes for winning post-er contests about Brain Injury Awareness and Remembrance Day.
Today we have a Fun Day in the afternoon.
Grade 6/7 students are manning the stations for the rest of the school to enjoy some relays and games. Tomorrow, there will be a mov-ie in the gym in the morning and classroom award presentations in the afternoon.
As we come to the end of the year, it is a fit-ting time to recognize all of our staff for their commitment and caring for the students of Nicholson. We all appreciate and enjoy the support of the parents and families in our community. Working together is the way to provide the best environment for our students to learn and grow. Thanks to everyone!
Have a great summer!
Moving on and enjoying the last days of school
Dogtooth Climbing Gym starts summer campsJessica [email protected]
Whether you want to dangle from a rope, tackle that fear of heights, or improve your climbing skills, the Dogtooth Climbing Gym will be able to accommodate you in their kids summer climbing camps.
“All the kids really love it. And even if they start off being scared of heights, we work with them and they progress,” said Rachel Wilde, instructor and owner of the climbing gym. “They don’t need to be at a certain level before
they come. We take all levels and sizes.”The camps are all two, two-hour sessions
taking place in July and August. Kids five and up will learn how to climb, boulder, and take part in climbing games. Climbers nine and older will also learn some belaying skills, taught by their ACMG certified instructor.
“We play games with them, so there’s always challenges going on... We do one hanging game, they grab onto a hold and we see who can hang on the longest,” said Wilde. “So it’s a lot of fun.”
The Dogtooth Climbing Gym has been
open for five years now, and this is the fourth year they’ve run the summer camps.
“The summer camps are good because they give the kids a good understanding of the basics of climbing and the rope work. We teach them how to tie the knots, and com-munication,” said Wilde. And there is always an emphasis on safety.
All campers must register in advance (at least a day before the camp’s start date).
For more information on the camps and how to register go to www.dogtoothgym.com.

Charles “Wayne” Edlund
February 27, 1941 - June 12, 2012
Wayne was born on the family homestead in Blaeberry, near Golden, BC to Charles and Violet Edlund. He will be forever missed by his loving wife Gail.Wayne leaves to cherish his memory three sisters: Delores Frederick, Golden; Christina Garrett, Christina Lake and Tammi Moore, Calgary, AB; two brothers Ron Graham, Port Alberni and Ed Coupland, Golden. Wayne also leaves behind a son Rodrick, granddaughter Kayla and grandson Dallas all of Edmonton, AB.Wayne attended Lady Grey School in Golden, BC and then worked brie y in the logging industry around BC. In 1959 he enlisted in the army with the Queen’s Own Ri es Regiment and was stationed in Calgary, AB. Following the army, he took vocational training in Nanaimo, BC to become a pipeline welder. Wayne’s work as a professional welder and portable welding contractor for over thirty years took him across Canada, north to the Yukon and Northwest Territories and south to the Caribbean. In 1992, Wayne “retired” to build a ranch in the Sullivan Valley north of Kamloops, along with Gail, and raise Hereford cattle for the next eighteen years. Wayne’s cow herd and the champion bulls he purchased from recognized BC breeders were a source of great pride and joy to him. A faithful cow dog was always at his side to help out.He enjoyed horseback riding, shing, hunting, camping and spending time with family and good friends. Wayne’s Swedish heritage was especially important to him. After researching and writing the Edlund family history in 1997, Wayne and Gail traveled to Sweden to meet and get to know family there.Wayne was one of the best – compassionate, honest and loyal. He worked hard and excelled in meeting any of life’s challenges.A Celebration of Wayne’s life will be held Saturday, July 7, 2012 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the ranch. Please call Gail for more information.Many thanks to all who have given us so much love and support over the past year. We couldn’t have done it without you.Should friends so desire donations may be made to the TB Vets, 1410 Kootenay Street, Vancouver, BC V5K 4R1; phone 1–888–874–5626.Condolences may be expressed at www.schoenings.com

If roses grow in heaven, Lord,Please pick a bunch from us.Place them in our Mother’s arms,And tell her they’re from us.

Russell Allan Austin
December 17, 1938- April 30, 2012
Russell Allan Austin, age 73, passed away on Monday April 30, 2012. Russell was born on December 17, 1938 at Duncairn Dam, SK to Thomas & Mabel Austin. He took his schooling in Simmie, SK and then left for Golden BC to work in the sawmill. While there, he met Hannelore Renate Guergre and her son, Frank. Russell and Hanna were married on September 18, 1965. They later moved to Vernon BC where he worked in the sawmill as a saw filer. He really enjoyed this job and was very good at it. After retiring, they travelled to the East Coast for three months and then settled at Simmie SK where they reconnected with family and old friends. All his life, Russell enjoyed hunting and fishing and was able to enjoy these hobbies back at Simmie. He was always laughing and smiling and enjoyed being with family & friends. Hannelore was always Russell’s best friend and joy...and Russell was Hanna’s. Russell leaves to cherish his memory his wife Hannelore; son Frank (Kari-Ann); granddaughter Alyssa. He is also survived by three sisters, Loretta, Delores, and Patricia; two brothers, Harry and Gerald, his remaining siblings out of a family of 15; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends. Thank you Russell for giving us Hanna and Frank, and also for all the wonderful memories, they will always be cherished.
