A fire at Reddi Mart early Thursday morning (Aug. 27) had the potential to be much worse. Nevertheless, the convenience store and its attached laundromat will be closed indefinitely

following a small fire caused by a combusted rag. The incident originated inside a hamper on

the laundromat side of the building. Fire Chief Dave Balding ruled out the possibility of the fire being caused by electrical means, although the full details of the fire remain under investiga-tion.

Golden Fire and Rescue received the emer-gency call around 1:30 a.m. from a passing cyc-list who noticed smoke billowing inside the building.

The department responded with two trucks and 12 crew members.

September is not

only back to school time, it is also Lit-eracy Month in Brit-ish Columbia. And the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy has activities planned for the whole month to get people of all ages excited about reading and learn-ing.

"Every week of the month we've got something going on," said Monica De, co-ordinator with CBAL.

CBAL also cele-brates National Lit-eracy Day in January, but the event is most-ly targeted at school-aged children. Lit-eracy Month will give them an opportunity to include fun events for adults as well.

Yesterday (Sept. 1) the month-long Com-munity Word Scram-ble began. The indi-vidual letters that spell out "Golden supports literacy" will be placed at 22 busi-nesses and organiza-tions around town all month. Participants can pick up work-sheets at the Golden Employment Centre, and spell out as many words as they can from the letters they find around Golden.

"We have prizes for different age cat-egories," said De. "So hopefully we get a lot of participation with that one."

The following week CBAL will be hosting a Trivia Challenge at the Golden Civic

Centre. Teams of one to six people will answer general know-ledge questions, which will include facts about Golden and music.

The Rotary Club of Golden will also be on hand selling bur-gers to raise money for literacy programs.

On Sept. 17 CBAL is asking commun-ity members to join in on a Community-Wide Stop Drop and Read initiative.

“At 11 a.m. we’re asking people to Stop, Drop and Read. So whatever they are doing, wheth-er you’re at home, school or work, just stop at 11 and read,” said De.

This event has

taken place in other communities, and De says that you’ll walk into a school at 11 a.m. and all the students, teachers, and support staff and completely stopped working and are there reading.

“It would be nice to get big participation on that,” she said. “So after the fact, send me an email and let me know who joined in.”

There will also be various workshops throughout the month, including a new Smart Phone Workshop.

To sign up, or learn more about any of the Literacy Month activ-ities, you can contact De at 250-439-9665, or [email protected].

The Importance of a Trailer Pre-Trip InspectionOne of the more eye-opening exercises that I used to conduct at this time of the year

was to park my police vehicle at the brake check and wave in vehicles pulling boat trailers for a mechanical inspection. I had learned that boat trailers were often the most poorly maintained of all recreational trailers and there were often serious safety defects to be found. A simple pre-trip inspection by the driver would have found them easily and made sure that the trip would be a safe one.

The � rst thing I would do after gathering all the paperwork was to hand the driver a wrench and ask him to open the surge brake reservoir for a brake � uid level check. If the cap did not break o� the reservoir was frequently dry or contained rust coloured liquid that indicated the � uid was contaminated with water and likely had been for some time. If the brake � uid appeared appropriate we would then activate the breakaway brake and try to move ahead. It should be very di� cult to move the trailer.

Next I would ask for the running lights and hazard � ashers to be turned on. A quick circle check examined safety chains, lights, re� ectors, tires, wheels, licence plate and decal as well as load security. This could be accomplished in a couple of minutes and I then had a good idea of how roadworthy the trailer was or wasn’t.

Many times the exercise would conclude with an order for the trailer to be taken to a designated inspection station for a more thorough examination by a mechanic. I spoke with one of these inspectors once and was told that I had a light hand when it came to using my pen. In his opinion, a large number of the trailers that I had sent should have been taken away from the roadside by tow truck.

The rags were quick-ly removed from the building and brought outside to the park-ing area in front of the store. The higher oxygen level outdoors caused the rags to burst into flames, but that was quickly extin-guished by the crew.

Balding says it is hard to speculate what the damage might have looked like if it hadn’t been for the cyclist’s call, but did say it could have been much worse if left undetected.

“I think we should recognize the vigi-lance of that passer-by and kudos for raising the alarm,” Balding said, adding that while there is no require-ment for business-es like Reddi Mart to have a smoke alarm, there are always bene-fits to having them in circumstances such as these.

Reddi Mart man-ager Riki Routley com-mended the depart-ment for its quick action.

“It’s incredible how quickly they were here,” she said.

While damage to the structure was ultim-

ately minimal, the store and the laun-dromat will be closed indefinitely for clean up.

With the estab-lishment of an Age Friendly Commun-ity Plan for Golden comes the realiza-tion that there exists certain gaps locally when it comes to ser-vices for seniors.

Jan Rodman and Katherine Fiebig are two individuals hoping to bridge that gap going forward with the creation of a program that would connect seniors with community members who are able and will-ing to help out.

What’s become clear, according to Rodman, is that there are numerous older men and women in Golden who might need help with vari-ous household tasks, but don’t have the means or the desire to ask for assistance. Help could include chores such as shov-elling snow, mow-ing the lawn, deliv-

ering groceries, but it could also include friendly visits to sen-iors who might not get out of the house as frequently as they’d like.

Often, seniors who

could benefit from this kind of help are hesitant to ask for it but are willing to accept it when it is offered. It’s hoped that this would be a way to break through that roadblock.

“There were some women who said to me ‘I would love to go to the musical events happening at the Civic Centre’ but (they) don’t drive at night because they

don’t see that well…so they’re just at home watching TV,” Fiebig said.

“It’s giving the people a voice,” Rod-man said.

It’s yet to be deter-

mined how exactly the program might look in practice - Rodman said it could involve a mixture of pools of volunteers and paid workers - but there is no lack of examples from other communities with already established programs.

“These programs exist, so why not here?” Rodman said.

Fiebig has wit-nessed the impact of

programs like these first-hand, having coordinated a visita-tion program when she lived in Ontario.

“It essentially did everything Jan is describing to be done here,” she said.

Rodman has also seen how a helping hand can make a big difference.

“My granddaughter has to come and and cut my grass…I’m not ageing ageing, I don’t think, but I can no longer (pull my mower’s cord),” Rod-man said.

“If I didn’t have a granddaughter here to do it, who would I ask? There’s an example of that.”

The first steps towards establish-ing a program like this in Golden will be to hear from inter-ested parties, both potential volunteers and those who could benefit from some help.

“My hope would be that people call me

and say either ‘I have a need or I have a desire to help,” Rod-man said.

For more infor-mation on how you can get involved, or if you have a need that could possibly be filled by this pro-gram, contact Rod-man at 250-939-8367 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Program hopes to offer assistance for seniors

The Golden Figure Skating Club was looking for a new head coach at the end of last season, and who better to fill that position than a former GFSC skater who made it to the national level?

Morgan Jmaiff was born in Golden, and began skating with the club at the age of two.

“I loved it right way,” she said. “My mom said she had to drag me off the ice.”

She showed a talent for the sport early on, and by the time she reached Grade 7 coach-es from larger centres had their eye on Jmaiff. She moved to Kelowna with her moth-er to be in a more competi-tive environment, commuting back to Golden to see her fath-er who stayed behind.

In Grade 8 she made it to Nationals, and continued skat-ing up to a senior level, calling it quits after skating in Nation-als in her Grade 12 year.

She moved onto Edmonton to get her certification in per-sonal training, but found that she missed the ice.

“I really enjoyed the train-ing, and I plan to continue pur-suing that, but it’s not quite as satisfying as I thought it would be,” said Jmaiff. “I really missed the skating, so I’m so excited to be doing this.”

Jmaiff has coached in the past, mainly younger skat-ers while she was training in Kelowna, but this will be the first time she has taken on an entire club’s program.

“It’s going to be fun for sure,” she said. “I’ve got a game plan going in, I’ve been preparing a lot. I’m really

excited to teach the young-er skaters, start them off with some good habits. But once you get into the older com-petitive levels it gets really fun too.”

The GFSC is hosting a regis-tration night on Sept. 3 in the Rec Plex lobby. Jmaiff will be

there to answer any questions.“Skating is such a great thing

for younger kids. It really matures you and teaches a lot of confidence,” she said.

There will also be a meet and greet with Jmaiff at the Arena Lobby on Wednesday Sept. 9 at 7 p.m.

Drunk almost hit by carOn August 24 police were called after it was reported that

an extremely intoxicated male was almost hit by a vehicle on 10th Avenue North near the CP Rail parking lot. Police were not able to locate the male, however a backpack with his belongings and a small amount of marijuana was left behind. The bag was seized by police and the owner attended the detachment the following day to retrieve his belongings. No charges are expected in relation to the drugs located.

Forgotten cashParks Canada employees advised Golden-Field RCMP

that there was a large amount of cash left at one of the campsites in Yoho National Park on August 22. Anyone who may have left the money is asked to contact the Gold-en-Field RCMP at 250-344-2221. The caller must be able to identify the location and amount of the cash left behind.

License plate stolenPolice received a report on August 27 that an Alberta

license plate was stolen off of a vehicle parked overnight on 11th Street South. Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact the Golden-Field RCMP or Crimes-toppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Stolen car abandonedOn August 31, the Golden-Field RCMP recovered a

vehicle that had been stolen out of Sicamous one week pri-or. A passerby noticed that a vehicle had been left parked just off of Highway 1 near Quartz Creek and called police. Several items including the bumpers, tires, lights and elec-tronics had been removed from the vehicle. The informa-tion was passed on to the Sicamous RCMP who is investigat-ing the theft.

Vehicle found down embankmentPolice were called to a single vehicle collision on August

28 after a vehicle was located down an embankment on the Columbia West Forest Service Road.

The occupants, from out of country, were able to free themselves from the vehicle and arrange transport to Revelstoke where they were treated for serious but non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle sustained extensive damage and was removed from the ditch. No charges are expected in relation to the incident.

Speed believed to cause accidentThe Golden-Field RCMP, BC Ambulance and Parks Can-

ada responded to a single vehicle rollover on Highway 1 near Rogers Pass on August 28. None of the four occu-pants, all from the USA, reported any injuries. The vehicle sustained extensive damage and was towed. Speed is believed to be a factor in the collision.

"Warn" reading resulted in suspensionA 38 year-old female from Calgary received a three day

driving suspension after police allege she was driving while her ability was affected by alcohol.

“A traffic stop was conducted with the vehicle and police formed suspicion that the driver had alcohol in her body.” said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury, spokesperson for the Gold-en-Field RCMP. The driver provided a sample of her breath into an approved screening device which resulted in a ‘warn’ reading.

Under the provincial Immediate Roadside Prohibi-tion program anyone found to be in the warn range can be issued a three day driving suspension and vehicle impoundment.

Found bones not humanPolice were called by Parks Canada employees after con-

struction crews located what they thought may be human bones while doing construction on Highway 1 near the

Alberta/BC border. Police along with Parks Canada and the BC Coroner Service investigated and were able to determine that the bones were not human.

Rental vehicle impoundedA 32 year-old male from Calgary had his rental vehicle

impounded for 30 days and received a 90 day driving sus-pension after police allege he was found to be in care and control of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol on August 30.

“Police noticed the vehicle was parked running outside a bar on 9th Avenue North around 2:30 a.m.,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The male was located in the driver’s seat and indicated in his conversation with police that he was just about to drive away before police approached his vehicle. An impaired driving investigation was then started by police resulting in the male failing two roadside alcohol screening device tests.

Driver hit barricadeThe Golden-Field RCMP responded to a single vehicle

collision on Highway 1 near 5 mile hill east of Golden on August 30. Police believe that the driver lost control of her vehicle crossing the oncoming lane of traffic and striking a barricade. No injuries were reported as a result of the col-lision. Speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash.

Traffic ServicesOn August 30, police with the Golden RCMP Integrat-

ed Road Safety Unit conducted a traffic stop with a vehicle after the licence plate came back indicating that the vehicle had no insurance.

The driver, a 20 year-old male from Port Moody was issued a violation ticket for no insurance as well as a Notice of Driving Prohibition after records indicated that the male was also to serve a four month driving suspen-sion.

RCMP Report: Intoxicated male nearly struck by car on 10th Ave.


The inaugural event of the Golden Triangle Poker Run, which is now in its eighth year, didn’t go exactly according to plan.

That first year, approximately 15 rid-ers braved the pouring rain to complete the ride’s first two legs, south to Radium and then up Highway 93 to Lake Lou-ise. Their journey should have merciful-ly ended with an hour trip west along the Trans-Canada, but mother nature had other ideas.

“We’re all soaking wet, freezing…it poured rain on us,” recalled the event’s current organizer, Andrew Englehart.

“(Then) we found out there…was a mudslide near Field or in the canyon, so we had to turn around and come back the same way.”

Since then, the route has taken the rid-ers east to Lake Louise first before head-

ing south to Radium. The ride was originally organized by

Englehart’s late father, Bryan, and start-ed as a way to connect the biker commun-ity in Golden and raise funds for a good, local cause. The event is now the Bryan Englehart Memorial in his honour.

In the past, funds raised from the run have gone towards local community groups and Goldenites who have need-ed funds for medical reasons. This year, the money raised from the Poker Run will go towards the Golden Family Cen-tre, specifically for their youth care and outreach work.

“I just think it’s a great service that we have in our community that I think a lot of people use or have used,” Englehart said when asked why this organization was chosen for funding.

The poker run will take place on Sept. 12 with riders departing from Omega Bar and Grill at 10 a.m. following com-plimentary snacks and coffee. Bik-

ers will pick up a card at various check points along the route before returning to Omega for their final card, prizes and

fellowship. For more information on the event,

contact Englehart at 250-344-6624.

I read the letter by Golden’s doc-tors in last week’s paper and I think this is something we should all get excited about. Good health care is important to everyone - seniors, young families and young moun-tain bikers pushing themselves - we all need and want good health care.

Changes that reduce the quality of health care in Golden affect every one of us as well as everyone who vis-its our community.

This is not just a health issue but an economic issue as quality health care is an important consideration for people moving to Golden and people considering whether they will stay in Golden.

I don’t know if our government didn’t realize this or simply didn’t care but we need to tell them that this

is not acceptable. Our local govern-ments should tell them this and, if other areas are affected in the same way, our local governments should work with other affected areas to make this very clear to our govern-ment and, as individuals, we should make the same point to our provin-cial government loud and clear.

John Manuel,Golden

Help Build our Community - Not Tear It Down

Open Letter to Golden and Area A Residents:

I’ve lived in Golden for the last 5 years and there are a lot of things that I love about our community. Over the years, I have seen a lot of good come out of our resi-dents – from pulling together for one another, to fund-raisers for valuable causes to strong support from local businesses and an all-around sense that people step up to help when needed.

Unfortunately though, and more often than I would like, I have also seen a lot of negativity. From people spreading intentional disinformation to vicious and unwarranted attacks on people and their character to people just stirring the pot because they think it’s funny to do so.

Recently, I have been appalled by what I have seen

in character assassination, mis-truths and vicious and unwarranted attacks on a person who is truly commit-ted this community, who gives it her best all the time and strives to help ensure we are the vibrant commun-ity we all want it to be – someone who I am truly proud to call my friend.

For those of you who don’t know – I’m talking about the intentional, concerted and malicious attacks on Karen Cathcart in her role as Director of Area A. Karen ran in the last election with one promise – that she would engage the people and serve the residents of Area A.

She promised to be open, to listen to concerns and do her best to ensure that important issues affecting her constituents were brought forward and resolved as best she could. She promised to do her best to do what she does best – help make people’s lives better.

It’s finally time for back to school, and my personal favourite time of year...fall.

The leaves start to change, the weather cools off (and after a particularly hot sum-mer I’m looking for-ward to this), the cozy warm clothes come out of the closet, and every drink and baked good comes out with a pump-kin spice flavour.

I never thought I would say this, but I am also looking forward to the town slowing down for the shoulder season, and the tourists staying away for a while.

It will be nice after Labour Day to be able to go up to the highway and not be overwhelmed by traffic.

But the yearly slump in tourism certainly does not mean that things slow down for the locals. The next couple of weeks will be jam-packed with events for Goldenites.

The first weekend after Labour Day, you can spend your Saturday at the 9th Annual Golden Stompdown Skate and Bike Competition, check-ing out the local riders at the Golden Freeride Park. The Golden Farmer’s Market will also be at the event.

Then that night you can check out the Wild & Scenic outdoor film festival up at the ball dia-monds, hosted by Wildsight Golden.

The following day Golden’s Fall Faire will be making a comeback, this time taking place in front of the Golden Museum. Check out the cen-tre spread (pages 9-12) in this week’s issue for everything you need to know about the fair.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy also has a month full of activities planned for locals, all aimed at promoting literacy and lifelong learning. There’s a word scramble which involves local businesses, a trivia night and a community-wide Stop, Drop and Read.

Arts and culture also aren’t slowing down in the shoulder season. Kicking Horse Culture has announced their Live Kicks lineup, with shows starting in October, and a production of the famed opera Rusalka (featuring several local performers) will grace the stage at the Golden Civic Centre on Sept. 26.

I’ve heard the argument in the past that too many events in Golden are aimed at tourists with few locals participating. But the fact that all these events are being planned (most of which through the countless volunteer hours of locals) during a time when fewer tourists are around tells me that’s not the case.

Golden is a tourist town, but it’s great to see that the local community is still vibrant and active on its own.

The Golden Star Wednesday, September 2, 2015 www.thegoldenstar.net A7Star editorial and opinion

A truckload of stars to Golden Home Hardware for transporting winter jackets to Canadian Lutheran World Relief in Winnipeg - for shipment to Syrian refugees.

Warm stars to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort for their donation of used ski patrol jackets and pants for distribution to Syrian refugees.

Stingers to the owner of the building with the tat-tered and torn Canadian Flag flying out front. It’s

disgraceful. Shame on you.

Stingers to a week of smoky skies followed by overcast weather. Depressing.

Stars to the Golden Golf Club crew for keeping the course in great shape this season.

Stingers to the pickup truck driver that cut me off on Highway 95 last week. How incredibly dangerous.

Stars to Leo Downey at the Rocky Mountain

Buffalo Ranch for an awe-some afternoon. I’m glad the weather held up. Our whole family had a great time!

Stars to Eleven22 for the amazing dinner. You rock!

A giant stinger to dog owners who fail to clean up after their dogs. It is your responsibility as a pet owner to make sure that your dog doesn’t leave a nasty surprise for others.

Stingers to a-holes who steal things.

Are you excited for the return of the Fall Faire?

“I’m new to Golden so I’ve

never been before. If I’m

free I’ll definitely check it out.”

“I don’t care one way or another.”

Continued from page 6

(Last week) there was an intentional smear campaign out there against her – brought on by a vicious minority of people who are starting false rumours, telling lies and showing up at commun-ity events with their own agendas – to attack her character and to sabotage her efforts to engage with her community.

Karen isn’t pushing any changes - she’s sim-ply out there listening. And for the record, she’s heard the following: Zoning and bylaws AREN’T wanted in much of the rural areas. High speed internet and boat launches are important. Dust control in Parson is an issue and, there is a real issue about safe drinking water in Nicholson

She is doing what every single one of us wish our elected representatives would do – ask us what we need, consult with us, and help solve our problems. Yet despite this some people are so frightened with the idea that someone would actually ask their opinion or improve their situ-ation, that they are simply making things up and attacking her character.

Karen has done nothing to warrant this level of personal attack and throughout all of this she has stayed true to her word and her commitment to listen and serve the people.

So, please – for the good of the community – stop the attacks, shut down the rumour mill, end the negativity and fear-mongering. Know when you’re being set-up with false information. Call out those people who are spreading lies and trying to drive us apart. Instead focus on what makes us a great community – an ability to listen, to come together and to solve problems.

Greg EhmanGolden

Terry LakeHealth Minister of BC

As a parent, it's incredibly saddening to hear about the recent tragedies in B.C. involving fentanyl-related deaths and overdoses. My heart goes out to the families and other loved ones, and I sympathize with what they are going through.

"If there's anything good that can come of this, I hope it will make people more aware of the dangers of illicit drug use. There is no easy way to tell what's in illicit drugs, or how your body will respond to them. A person could be ingesting toxic contaminants or fentanyl without knowing.

While we always advise against the use of illicit drugs, International Overdose Awareness Day is also a timely opportunity to educate those who do take drugs - and their loved ones - about the supplies and services in B.C., which can help to keep them safer.

To start off with, people are encouraged to access safer drug use supplies, such as sterile syringes, available at more than 300 harm-reduction distribution sites throughout the province. The website http://towardtheheart.com/ has a tool to locate the closest site. As well, we recommend that those who do take drugs use supervised injection services, such as Insite, whenever possible.

People who may be at risk of an opioid overdose are also urged to seek out take-home naloxone training and kits, accessible at many harm-reduction sites. Since 2012, B.C. has provided overdose-response training and take-home naloxone kits at no cost.

Naloxone is a safe medication that can reverse the effects of an overdose of an opioid drug, such as heroin, morphine, fentanyl or oxycodone. To date, the program has reversed more than 260 overdoses; nearly 3,000 kits have been distributed and more than 4,500 people trained, including people who use opioids, their friends and family, and service providers.

Lastly, people who use illicit drugs should always have someone with them who can spot the signs of an overdose and can call 911 at the first sign of distress.

For information on a range of counselling and services in B.C., please call the Alcohol and Drug Information and Referral Service at 1 800 663-1441. Services on the Alcohol and Drug Line are confidential, multilingual, free and available 24/7.

As well, people can contact their local health authority for assessment and treatment options. To find your local health authority, visit: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/about-bc-s-health-care-system/part-ners/health-authorities/regional-health-authorities.

Using illicit drugs will always present risks, but steps can be taken to prevent overdoses and other dangers. Because of this, B.C. continues to invest in harm-reduction programs and services.

“I wish I had cancer.” What could possibly encour-

age someone to utter such words? And yet, in the case of Dr. Alice Howland (played by Julianne Moore), the words resonate not as ridiculous, or even strange, but as thought-provoking.

At the outset of Still Alice, the 50 year-old title character and professor, starts to feel a

little bogged down mentally. One day she stumbles on her own words during a lecture. The next, she gets lost while going for a jog around her school’s campus. She suspects she might have a tumour and she schedules an appointment with a neurologist.

Instead, she discovers she is the victim of early on-set Alz-heimer’s, a shocking revela-tion that leaves the mother of three floored and searching for answers.

The story centres around how she deals with the heart-breaking disease and the strain it puts on her relation-ships with her children and husband (Alec Baldwin).

The disease hits quickly and hard. Before long, Alice starts to forget where the bathroom is located at the couple’s sum-mer home and momentarily fails to recognize her daughter following one of her perform-ances.

Each slip up is a punch to the gut for both her family and the viewer.

The despair only grows as her situation gets worse and

worse. When she tells her husband that she wishes she had cancer, it comes across as understandable. For Alice, a brilliant mind who accom-plished a lot during her career, the embarrassment of her for-getfulness is too difficult for her to handle. She feels stupid, and it can be difficult to watch her complete devolution.

While this film would never be mistaken for a feel-good movie, it does have some uplifting moments here and there.

Moore puts on an incred-ible performance in the lead role, as does Baldwin as a sup-porting character. Kristen Stewart also holds her own in the role of Alice’s daughter Lydia.

The directors combine a melancholy soundtrack with intermittent flashback sequences to enhance what is already a well-told story.

All of this adds up to an excel-lent score of 9 mouse clicks out of 10.


Last week Golden’s top young swimmers returned from their final meet of the sea-son, the provincials in Victoria, with several medals to show for their hard work.

The largest haul came courtesy of Josh Hira-oka, who ended his Golden Dolphins career in style with four medals, including a gold medal-winning performance that saw him break a provincial record.

Hiraoka narrowly missed out on a second gold medal in the 100m fly, falling an agonizing

hundredth of a second short of the top spot on the podium.

Still, it was hardly a disappointment as Hiraoka managed to break the minute mark, something he had never done before in that event.

The real joy came later in the 50m butterfly, the Golden swimmer’s best event. Hiraoka topped a provincial record, fin-ishing the race in a blaz-ing 25.82 seconds.

“(The record) was my main goal at the start of the season…I was very happy when I saw that I’d done it. I don’t think I’ve ever been that happy after a race,”

Hiraoka said. Golden’s other indi-

vidual medal went to Zara Johnson, who took home a silver in 100m freestyle despite a slow start.

“I started late off the blocks…(later) my mom asked me ‘what were you doing?’,” she laughed. A replay showed that every other swimmer was already in the water by the time Johnson reacted to the starting gun, but it didn’t matter. John-son swam confident-ly throughout the race and managed to touch the wall second.

Golden’s other med-als came courtesy of

Hannah LaRoy and Roxy Coatesworth, who both swam the breast stroke leg of the region-al team representing the Kootenays in their respective age cat-egories. The girls each earned the right to rep-resent the Kootenays after strong showings in the regional swim meet two weeks prior.

LaRoy was a part of the gold medal-winning Kootenay team that also set a provincial record.

“We went from third to first (over the final leg),” she recalled. “There was a lot of adrenaline and yell-ing…we all knew each other and we all just wanted to win.”

Coatesworth’s squad managed to take third, just a second or two ahead of the fourth place finishers.

“We were so happy,” she said.

The young swimmer says she enjoys breast stroke for one main rea-son.

“I like it because it feels like you’re a rocket shooting into the sky,” she explained.

Hiraoka will compete with the University of Lethbridge beginning in the fall while John-son, LaRoy and Coates-worth are all planning to swim as part of the Golden Dolphins once again in 2016.

Stand combines an environmental documentary with an outdoor adventure film. Nicolas Teichrob Photo

Stand follows 350 km journey up BC coast


Stand, the feature documentary in the upcoming Wild & Scenic Film Festival hosted by Wildsight Golden, is a unique blend of adventure film and environmental documentary that looks critically at the prospect of oil tankers being introduced to B.C.’s pristine waters.

The film follows expedition standup paddle boarder Norm Hann as he paddles 350 kms along the east coast of Haida Gwaii, a remote chain of islands off B.C.’s west coast and directly adjacent to the proposed tank-er route. Rich in aboriginal history and culture, the crew set out to cap-ture the landscape and the sentiments of the Haida people in relation to the risk of an oil spill.

You can see Stand, along with several other short films, on Sept. 12 at Keith King Memorial Park. Ticket information can be found at www.wildsight.ca.

Q – It’s back to school time again and it’s always a struggle to find healthy lunch

options for my son that he actually likes. Do you have any sugges-tions?

A – It is true that school lunches can be a challenge, especial-ly when dealing with kids who appetites are constantly changing. There are some great resources online with colourful charts that you can put on your fridge so that your son can be part of the lunch selection pro-cess. Snack-like, finger foods can also make meal time more fun and encourage eating. I have included a brief list below that you can use to create your own fridge chart along with pictures or stickers. I’ve included some alternative choices in

my list for those with food allergies or sensi-tivities.

For simple, fuss-free lunches that are healthy and have var-iety, simply select one serving from each of the below four cat-egories. Organic is best, especially for soft skinned fruits, like grapes and plums, that have high chem-ical residues. Allowing kids to be involved in the process makes lunch time become a fun opportunity to learn first-hand about healthy eating!

Grain: Whole-grain bread (gluten-free if required), rye crack-ers, rice crackers/cakes, oat cakes, pita pockets

Meat/Protein: Chicken/tuna/egg/

bean salad, chick-en breast/roast beef pieces (leftovers from supper are great!), hummus, nut butters (if not allergic and allowed at school), cheese pieces

Veggies: Baby car-rots, celery sticks, cucumber slices, broc-coli/cauliflower flor-ets, baby tomatoes, kale chips

Fruit: Apple, pear, banana, grapes, plums, raisins, orange slices

Answers to your health and wellness questions

The fire situation in the areas some dis-tance from Golden is quite severe, with huge fires burning large tracts of tim-ber. People are being forced from their homes.

It has been quite a number of years since a really large fire raged in our district – thankfully! The Sue Fire of 1971 was the last large fire of note burning some 30,000 acres of trees in the Donald/Big Bend Dis-trict.

Fires were a fre-quent happening in Golden’s early his-tory and here are a few of the incidents reported in the Gold-en Star from 1895 to 1939.

May 18, 1895Bush fires are raging

in Moberly area all week.

May 11, 1900A bush fire about 5

or 6 miles from Gold-en has made the atmosphere around the town too smoky to be comfortable.

August 13, 1910A bush fire was start-

ed on the south side of Canyon Creek, and is still burning. The Col-umbia River Lumber Co. and the Dominion Fire Ranger all have men fighting the fire.

June 8, 1912Bush fires are num-

erous in the district, the worst is directly across the river from the CRL. It has wiped out camps and con-sumed 2 million feet of logs in its path.

June 8, 1912Forest fires raging

and several times the townsite was threat-ened. Every effort was made to keep the fires on the far shores of the Columbia River.

July 26, 1917As nearly always hap-

pens when the hot weather comes, the discomfort of the high temperature has been added to considerably during the past week by the heavy smoke which has pervaded the atmosphere, drift-ing in from several big fires which are raging

in different direc-tions. A heavy pall of smoke has been roll-ing up from the south and southwest for over a week, the result of bush fires up the Col-umbia and in the Koo-tenay Valley.

June 26, 1919Forest fires did con-

siderable damage in this district during the week, no less than sev-en distinct conflagra-tions being reported.

Four of these are said to be under con-trol, one is regarded as safe, but two, in the limits if the Colum-bia River company are still causing consider-able concern. The fires reported were at Donald, Moberly, Par-son, 11-Mile, Canyon Creek and two in the limits of the Columbia River Lumber Com-pany.

July 17, 1919The forest fire situa-

tion in the district has shown little improve-ment during the week and has caused no little concern. The fire west of Golden on Wednesday even-ing crossed the Col-umbia River below Anderson Ranch and travelled westward. Latest reports stated that it had reached a point within a mile of Moberly. The fire at the ten mile in the Columbia Valley is

still giving trouble. In the Big Bend country near Revelstoke a big fire is said to be burn-ing.

July 23, 1920High winds on

Monday afternoon restarted the fires in the Blaeberry district, which had been con-trolled on Sunday.

July 3, 1925Fire which was

allowed to gain head-way between Glenogle and Cloister has done considerable damage.

July 23, 1926Seldom has Gold-

en been more shroud-ed in smoke that it was during the past few days. The sun and the surrounding moun-tains were completely obscured and the visi-bility in all directions was distinctly poor.

The fire on the south side of the Col-umbia River oppos-ite Moberly is, at the latest reports, still raging viciously and while between 200 and

300 men, comprising employees of the Col-umbia River Lumber Co., Dominion gov-ernment fire rangers, with all the assistance obtainable, are man-fully struggling to save Camp 5, of the lum-ber company. Their task seems hopeless. In the words of Matt Holt, camp foreman, “It seems useless for us to stay here, but we’ll make a stand as long as possible.”

April 26, 1929

The first bush fire of the season started a couple of miles east of town.

July 19, 1929The dry weather has

been bad for the fire season, there are two at Donald and one at Glenogle.

August 12, 1932Bush fires are at dif-

ferent points in the district, filling the val-ley with smoke, as well as ciders, which were falling in considerable quantity.

Starhoroscopes Sep. 2 to Sep. 8

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20Conflicting instructions make it difficult to please others this week, Aries. Try your best to meet others’ needs, and look to others for help if the need arises.TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your stubbornness can sometimes be an asset, but don’t let it get in the way this week. Approach a task with a new perspective and don’t hesitate to solicit others’ opinions.GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, even though you are reluctant to show your hand this week, others know what’s on your mind. It’s tough for you to remain aloof when you seem like an open book.CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22You are full of energy this week, Cancer, so put it to good use. Lend a hand to others who have a lot on their plates and tackle some lingering projects of your own as well. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t take anything for granted this week. A project might go off without a hitch, but you need to be prepared in case it does not. Remain aware.VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may be so engrossed in your own routine that you miss some of the subtle goings-on at work. If suddenly you feel out of the loop, make an effort to be more in the know.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, speak up about a situation that you feel needs to be addressed. Your voice won’t be heard if you remain quiet, but your point of view offers some valuable insight.SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, rather than focusing on your own progress this week, see what you can learn from others without making everything a competition. This can be a special learning process.SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be doing your best to demonstrate your good intentions, but others may not be satisfied with your efforts. Reexamine your approach.CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20A big payoff awaits if you work hard and exercise patience this week, Capricorn. Although you may be pushing for immediate results, the outcome will take some time. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Don’t abandon your spontaneity this week, Aquarius. Hang out with others who appreciate flying by the seat of their pants. You will be in for a good time later in the week.PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20A sense of self-confidence does not mean that everything will immediately go your way, Pisces. You still need to work hard to have things play out right.

Barry Thomas WrightMay 3, 1945 - Aug 17, 2015

With tremendous sadness, the Wright family announce the passing of Barry. Born in Toronto Ont. to Gerald and Thelma in 1945. At age 70, Barry passed away at his home on the evening of Aug 17 2015. He was predeceased by his mother and father, and survived by his 1 brother and 4 sisters. Barry's love of his life Susan, and 3 children Bill (Debbie), Deana (Garth) and Connie (Lee) were a large part of his every day and gave him pure happiness. Barry's 7 grandchildren Bailey, Micheal, Forrest, Madeleine, Montanna, Mollie, and Rebecca, and 2 great grandchildren Haddie and Eli meant the world to him.Barry loved to travel and had a calling to help others, brothers, sisters, family, friends or strangers. If there were a disaster somewhere he would pack his truck and camper and go to assist in any way he could. New Orleans or Alberta. Barry also had a lifelong love for cars, Vintage, Hotrods and many projects on the go. If you ever needed him he is probably out working in his garage.There will be no service as per Barry's wishes. The Wright family would like to thank the many friends for their sincere condolences.

Online condolences may be sent through Barry’s obituary at www.hindmanbowersfuneralhome.com

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Keenleyside of Terrace, BC, on August 25, 2015, due to kidney disease and pneumonia. Born in Princeton, BC on March 22, 1933, Bill lived in Golden, BC for his school years and was an avid sportsman who participated in curling, hockey, softball, band, Scouts, and Teen Town, where he met his wife Luise Uberall. They were married in Burnaby, BC in 1955. Bill worked in the home furnishings at Hudson’s Bay Company in Vancouver before moving to Terrace in 1964, where he worked at Western Furniture and the Co-op store before opening his insurance business. Bill owned and operated “Keenleyside Insurance” for many years in Terrace, and prior to his retirement was active in the community with Riverboat Days and Knox United Church. He served on the Board of Directors Terrace Co-op, was on the Board of Directors of Federated Co-op in Saskatoon, and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Later in life Bill became known as the family handyman, as he enjoyed carpentry and working with his hands. He enjoyed spending time at the cabin at Lakelse Lake and with his extended family. Bill and Luise also enjoyed going on cruises, and especially travelling to England and Scotland to connect with Keenleyside relatives there. Bill will be lovingly remembered by Luise Keenleyside, his wife of 60 years; his son Kent (Alice Moszczynski) of Terrace, BC; his brother Bob Keenleyside (Evelyn) of Golden, BC; his sister Shirley Ayres (Cliff) of Didsbury, Alberta; step sisters Leah Seaman, Inuvik, NWT, and Gayle Seaman, Vancouver, BC. He will be missed by sisters-in-law Victoria Uberall, Vancouver, BC; Joyce Krause (Larry), Terrace, BC; Angela McMillan (Ken), Surrey, BC; and many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, and grand nephews. The family conveys their thanks to Dr. Strydom for his compassionate care of Bill, to hospital staff, and the Home Support workers. A memorial service to celebrate Bill’s life will be held at the Knox United Church in Terrace, BC on Saturday, September 19th 2015, at 10:30 am. If so desired, donations in Bill’s memory can be made

to the Dr. R.E.M. Lee Hospital Foundation, P.O. Box 1067, Terrace, BC, V8G 4V1.

Serving mountain communities since 1923


When the games start to count on Sept. 11, the Golden Rock-ets will be icing a much dif-ferent team than the one that opened the pre-season Sunday night against the Columbia Val-ley Rockies. That’s probably not a bad thing, the Rockets having been beaten 5-0 by their High-way 95 rivals following a gruel-ing weekend camp.

“We’ve worked the guys hard this weekend and I know they’re tired, but no excuses…no goals, that’s not a good start,” said head coach Jason Stephens.

Still, August hockey isn’t so much about what the score-board says at the end of 60 min-utes, instead it’s about the way the team meshes as the game goes on. Despite the lopsided final, there were some positives evident for Stephens.

“I think there were some def-inite positives that we can take from it…we’ve had a long week-end to this point so it’ll be nice to have a little bit of downtime before the next one, get a little energy and be able to play 60 minutes,” he said.

The two clubs played an even first period that produced little in the way of offensive chances. Both teams skated with a lineup that included several underage players, giving the two coach-ing staffs an extra look at some of the young talent they might have at their disposal through-

out the season. That, coupled with a mix of returning players and new recruits combined to create a defensive opening 20, which isn’t that surprising as the rust of a long off-season begins to fade.

“I think it takes a little while to find the chemistry and guys have to figure out who their linemates are going to be,” Stephens said.

The Rockies opened the scor-ing early in the second and added a pair of goals on odd-man rushes midway through the frame to take a command-ing lead. They’d take a 4-0 lead into the third and add one more before the final buzzer.

The Rockets had numerous chances on goal mouth scram-bles but could never seem to

find that elusive loose puck on any of those occasions. They totalled 35 shots in the shutout defeat.

A handful of players are expected to be returned from Junior A tryouts over the next week or so, meaning that Ste-phens will have some deci-sions to make shortly regard-ing potential cuts. It is expected that a few of those cuts will come down before the club’s next exhibition game.

Golden will be in Invermere on Sept. 3 for a return date with the Rockies. Their next home contest will be on Sept. 4 against the Revelstoke Grizzlies.
