Teachers, support staff, principals and other members of the community took part in a two-day seminar centred around Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The semin-ar was the first step toward turning Golden’s ele-

mentary schools into ‘Leader in Me’ schools, a program that gives students learning skills to enable them to reach a higher level of perform-ance. Future sessions will discuss how Covey’s habits can be implemented into the schools.

Rotary Club member Greg Ehman helped spearhead the campaign to bring the program to Golden. Ehman first noticed the effects that

Leader in Me had on his children’s school while his family was living in Comox.

“The differences we saw in the community from their engagement with their youth, leader-ship in the youth, to discipline issues…the over-all positive results in the community were phe-nomenal,” Ehman said.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) is conducting a review of its Region-al Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP), last updated in 2009.

The review will identify new initiatives for reduce, reuse, recycle and disposal programs for the next five years, as many of the 2009 recom-mendations have now been completed. A review of new opportunities and directions will be con-ducted to update the SWMP and to establish implementation priorities for the next five years.

The process relies on input from residents, busi-ness and other stakeholders residing within mem-ber municipalities and rural areas alike.

“An advisory committee representing a cross-section of region wide public and technical inter-ests was created to oversee the implementation of

the 2009 Plan,” said Ben Van Nostrand, team lead-er-environmental health services. “This commit-tee will remain in place to develop and review all recommendations put forward during this new plan revision, and (most importantly) ensure public participation during this process”.

The review will explore enhanced recycling opportunities, including food waste and other waste diversion initiatives, landfill and transfer station management, and public education.

“Public participation is absolutely essential to the success of this transparent process,” said Van Nostrand.

Check the CSRD website at www.csrd.bc.ca for general information, as well as the opportun-ity to provide input regarding this planning pro-cess through completion of a survey. Those who complete the survey have the opportunity to be entered into a draw for the chance to win a $250 Visa gift card.

New inclusive playground ready at Alexander Park Elementary

Workers put the finishing touches on APES’ brand new playground last week. Most of the funds for the $180,000 facility came through donations, primarily from locals. Joel Tansey/Star Photo


When students at Alexander Park Ele-mentary finally do return to the class-room, they’ll be happy to know they’ll have a brand new playground facility on which to play.

The facility has been in the works since October of 2012, when the Par-ent Advisory Coun-cil took on the task of getting the school a new playground.

The playground comes with a $180,000 price tag which was raised through donations,

primarily from local businesses. The school district cov-ered about $40,000 of that figure.

The reason for the higher cost is due to the fact that the facil-ity is accessible for children with limited mobility.

“It has this rub-ber surface that allows children with restricted or limit-ed mobility to access the toys. It also has a large number of ground level toys for children in wheel-chairs or who can’t climb and it has a specifically dedicat-ed wheelchair toy,” Chenoa Paccagnan

told the Golden Star when the fundraising began. Paccagnan championed the campaign to make this playground pos-sible as a member of PAC, but has since left the community.

“It’s not just for children in wheel chairs. And even if it only helps one, isn’t it worth it?” asked Paccagnan.

“It also eliminates barriers in a larger way. Children don’t see children with disabilities the way adults do. All they see

is that children are playing in the area, or they’re not. Now they’ll all be playing together.”

Stan Metcalfe (Golden Physio-therapy and Sports Injury Clinic) has said he has 80 chil-dren going through his office with some sort of mobility issue.

“The best part of my job is getting kids playing,” said Met-calfe. “And the pieces that Chenoa and the PAC have picked will make a huge differ-ence.”

“When we first start-ed we weren’t sure if Golden had an appe-tite for a fully access-ible playground, because the rubber base adds significant-ly to the cost,” said Paccagnan.

The appetite was clearly there, given the amount of fund-ing that came from local donations.

“If you look at the list of sponsors it is primarily from Gold-en, which is huge…the response for this project was absolute-ly tremendous,” Pac-

cagnan said. “This project would never have happened with-out the people in the community.”

The playground replaces the old wooden structure that had maxed out its lifespan.

“The wood is so old the paint is gone and it’s splintered and chemically treated. The fireman’s pole doesn’t meet regu-lation, there’s all sorts of things,” Pac-cagnan had said of the previous play-ground.

The Proper Position for Turning“Tell them that they need to be in the proper lane before they turn” says one

reader. Equally important is the need to end up in the proper lane after the turn. Attention to detail here provides for a smooth � ow of tra� c and less chance of being involved in a collision.

The de� nition of roadway is important to this discussion. This is the portion of the highway that is improved, designed or ordinarily used for tra� c, but does not include the shoulder. In the case of a paved highway, it is the portion between the lines, or in the case where there is no line on the right side, between the lines and the edges of the pavement.

Drivers intending to turn right at an intersection must approach and make the turn as close as possible to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway.

Drivers intending to turn left at an intersection must approach in the lane nearest to the center line keeping to the right of that line, turn to the left of the center of the intersection, and leave the intersection to the right of the center line.

Turns made to leave the highway at places other than an intersection require that the driver approach the turn in the same manner as turns made at intersections.

In all of the cases outlined above the driver will be in the � rst lane available to the intended direction of travel when the turn is completed. A common mistake made at the intersection of multi-laned highways is to turn directly into lanes other than those designated.

Second quarter MLA com-pensation and expense reports have been posted online as part of the Legisla-tive Assembly’s implemen-tation of expanded quarter-ly disclosure on compensa-tion and expenses for individ-ual MLAs, including Cabinet ministers. Local Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald’s expenses are more or less in line with those of other Kootenay region MLAs.

The report discloses MLA salaries, travel expenses and constituency office expenses for each MLA for the quarter from the beginning of April 2014 through to the end of June 2014.

Of the four Kootenay region MLAs, three — Mac-donald, Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall and Koote-nay West MLA Katrine Con-roy — are NDP opposition MLAs and each made the basic MLA salary of $25,395 for the quarter.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett is a Liberal cabinet minister and correspond-

ingly made a higher minis-ter’s salary, which totalled $35,553.

Mungall had the lowest trav-el expenses of any Koote-nay region MLA, with $9,715 for the quarter; Macdon-ald’s travel expenses came to $11,689; Conroy had trav-el expenses of $13,245; while Bennett’s travel expenses totalled $19,424.

Macdonald’s travel expens-es were broken down into a capital city accommodation allowance of $3,000, a cap-ital city per diem of $1,339, a coastal/remote in-constitu-ency allowance of $2,895, general travel costs of $3,327, general travel costs per diem of $195, and an accompany-ing person allowance (for one trip) of $933.

Bennett had the lowest constituency office expens-es of any Kootenay region, with $26,811 for the quar-ter; Conroy had constituency office expenses of $28,210; Macondald had constituency office expenses of $29,540; while Mungall had con-stituency office expenses of $35,553.

Madonald’s constituency office expense were broken

down into office adminis-tration cost of $26,484, com-munication and advertising costs of $1,326, office supply costs of $133, and other office expenses of $1,598.

The full reports are avail-able in the new Accountabil-ity section on the Legislative Assembly website which con-solidates disclosure reports and governance resources relating to Assembly account-ability initiatives. Visit leg.bc.ca/accountability/index.htm.

“One of the biggest indi-cators was that the reports of bullying and experiences of bullying in the classroom and in the community dropped exponentially.”

At last week’s session, atten-dees learned Covey’s 7 Hab-its, which include Habits of independence, interdepend-ence and continuous improve-ment.

Laurier MacDougall, vice principal at Lady Grey Elemen-tary and one of the participants last week, felt that the two days were a very productive start for the program.

“I think it just helps us refocus and redefine at the beginning of the school year. It gives us all common lan-guage to use with the students and really works on promot-ing our own strengths and that helps us promote the strengths of our students,” MacDougall said.

The 6th habit is to synergize through combining every-one’s strengths with posi-tive teamwork. MacDougall thought that was a very appro-priate summation of the two

day session. “It was really wonderful to

have so many people together in one room…I felt the synergy in that room when you had opportunities to have conver-sations with so many different people,” MacDougall said.

Lady Grey principal Janne Arlt was similarly encouraged to see that the program was well

received by the community. “It’s really neat to see the

support from the commun-ity members that were there as well. Everyone is there to help themselves but also to help the community and make Golden a better place,” Arlt said.

Any hope of Gold-en students returning to school on time were dashed earlier this week.

Veteran medi-ator Vince Ready has walked away from talks between British Columbia teachers and their employer.

The province's 40,000 public school teachers went on strike two weeks before summer vaca-tion in June, and the ongoing job action has many worried the start of school may be put on hold indefin-itely.

After Ready left the bargaining table Sat-urday, Peter Cam-eron, the govern-ment's negotiator, said the current round of talks was over.

Ready is widely regarded as one of Canada's top labour troubleshooters, and many had held out hope his involvement would finally break the impasse between

the two sides.He brought Jim Iker

of the teachers' union and Cameron togeth-er for two days of exploratory talks.

But as the talks wrapped up, Cameron said Ready felt the two sides were still too far apart for mediation to begin. This means stu-dents will not yet be returning to school.

Cameron said both sides will wait for Ready to determine when they are close enough to resume dis-cussions.

Ready said he tried to establish a frame-work for mediated negotiations, but the effort failed.

"I just see no basis at this point for mean-ingful negotiations or mediation, so I’ve just declared an impasse," he said. "I just don’t see an agreement here at this point."

Despite Ready's gloomy assessment, the BC Teachers' Fed-eration indicated it wasn't giving up.

"As things stand now, the strike will

continue, but we are still determined to get a deal before Sept. 2," Iker wrote in a press release.

Iker, however, was clearly less optimis-tic when interviewed immediately after talks fell apart Sat-urday, admitting the chances of the school year starting on time were remote, at best.

"As of right now, school will not be starting on the second of September, though our teachers would love to be back at work," he said.

Premier Christy Clark took to social media, saying govern-ment wants to have a fair deal as soon as possible, but it must be affordable for tax-payers.

"We want a deal that gives teachers a raise and invests in class-rooms, but it must also be in line with settlements for other unions," she tweeted.

NDP Education Crit-ic Rob Fleming is call-ing for the resignation of Education Minister

Peter Fassbender.“The Minister

has delayed and obstructed talks with teachers all sum-mer. Despite saying repeatedly the gov-ernment is willing to be at the bargaining table 24/7, instead he squandered the entire summer, mak-ing no progress, denying mediation would work, making no moves to improve classroom condi-tions, and refusing to come to the table this week ready to get a deal,” he said.

There was lit-tle progress during the summer toward resolving the key stick-ing points — wages, class size, and support staff levels.

The government has said it will not legislate teachers back to work, but has pro-posed giving parents of children aged 12 and under $40 a day to help with daycare costs should the strike continue.

Parents can find more information

about the strike and how to collect the temporary support payments at http://bcparentinfo.ca.

The support pay-ments will not be paid out until after the strike is over. And the government will not be covering the extra costs for childcare for special needs stu-dents.

The information in this article was cur-rent at the time of production, however the situation could change very quickly. Go to www.thegolden-star.net for the most recent information.

Poor Behaviour

Editor,

I am a resident of the Kootenays and have lived here for the past eight years and have owned property here since 1990.

My husband and I love going to Ainsworth Hot Springs for a relaxing soak, pleasant conversation with visitors and locals, as well as watching people with their families having fun. It is such a wonderful place to be and we are thankful to be able to go there when-ever we wish.

Unfortunately, the last few times we have been there, our trip has been spoiled by children screaming at the top of their lungs in the change room. There is noth-ing wrong with these children... not hurt, no soap in their eyes, in other words, just deciding to scream while their parents do nothing to discipline them. I don’t appreciate being subjected to this kind of noise abuse and uncivil behaviour, especially when I have come to the hot springs to relax and enjoy a peaceful

timeout.I can only imagine how the people who have come

from a great distance feel.It would be nice if the parents, with children who

are behaving badly for no good reason, read this let-ter to understand how others feel at being subjected to their screaming children. I believe this won’t happen, because the people who need to read this letter, either won’t read it or will ignore what is being said.

I will not be going back to Ainsworth Hot Springs until school is back in session and summer holidays are over. I am sad to say that this is not only my loss, but other people as well.

I was told by a lady visiting from Alberta that she feels the same way. If these other people are visitors from far away, they may tell others not to go to Ainsworth.

It is unfortunate that a few spoil it for the many, with their lack of consideration.

Sandra KennedyKaslo

Mount Polley

To the editor,

The B.C. Lollipop Party, which promises riches but is mismanag-ing the provincial government in so many ways, has hit a new low.

The totally preventable catas-trophe at Mount Polley mine that has devastated the Cariboo region and the entire Fraser River water-shed is a result of negligence on the part of the Minister of Energy

and Mines.Bill Bennett is much more inter-

ested in cutting regulations, reducing inspectors, developing new projects and lobbying the fed-eral government for approvals of dubious projects than protecting the lives, livelihoods and environ-ment of the citizens of British Col-umbia.

The loss of fishing and tour-ism could cost many jobs and up to 1,000 mining jobs, a result of a lack of attention to many warnings

over many years.I suggest that the Premier order

the Minister of Energy and Mines and the invisible Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations to walk the plank to take responsibility for neglecting to execute their authorities. Then, she should consider following them into the “almost drinkable” drink herself.

Catherine CulleySaanich

If you’re going to pander, at least do it properly.

The Liberal Govern-ment, in the absence of an agreement with BC teachers, has promised to pay $40 a day, per stu-dent ages 12 and under, to the families as long as the strike continues.

The BC Teachers Federation was out-raged by the offer, call-ing it “a blatant and div-isive attempt to pro-long disruption in B.C. schools.”

The argument has its merits, the money spent on compensating parents who will now require daycare could have been put towards ending a dispute that would eliminate these families’ need for extra daycare.

If the move was a cheap ploy by the Liberals to gain the support of families, I think they’ve missed the mark. Or at the very least they have ignored those families who are perhaps most in need.

Most students ages 13 and over probably don’t need looking after during the day, but special needs children do.

The going rate for respite childcare for spe-cial needs children (especially those who have mobility issues and need to be lifted) can range from $14 to $30 an hour. That is regardless of age.

Forty dollars a day will help, but not cover the cost of care for young special needs students. And those ages 13 and over will receive nothing, placing a large financial burden on single parent families, or ones with two working parents.

Some parents will be faced with the decision of paying astronomical childcare bills, basically negating their paycheques, or just staying home from work and losing the paycheque all togeth-er.

Parents of special needs children have been raising the issue with the government ever since the $40 a day program was announced, but no changes have been made to the program.

One mother from New Westminster told the CBC that she was told by her child’s daycare facil-ity that she can be expecting a $3,200 bill for Sep-tember if the strike continues. Her son’s summer day care was covered by the Simon Fraser Soci-ety for Community Living, but the society had to inform the more than 1,000 B.C. parents they help that they will not have the money to help them in the fall.

My hope is that by the time this paper comes out, either the dispute will be resolved, or the government realizes this great oversight and offers extra help to the families of special needs children.

Suzanne AntonAttorney General and Minister of Justice

August 30, 2014, marks the two-year anniversary of a report that helped pave the way for significant improve-ments aimed at making B.C.’s justice system quicker and more accessible for British Columbians. This is a mile-stone worth marking, as the report serves as a blueprint for reforming the justice system into one that meets the needs and expectations of the people it serves.

A Criminal Justice System for the 21st Century was deliv-ered by legal expert Geoffrey Cowper, based on his exten-sive review of B.C.’s criminal-justice system. We have made meaningful progress toward achieving the reforms envisioned in Cowper’s report and it’s important that we take the opportunity to share the status of these changes with British Columbians.

So what have we done? We delivered an action plan for system-wide change

in a two-part white paper within months of receiving the report. We passed the Justice Reform and Transparency Act and appointed a Justice and Public Safety Council. The council has responsibility for planning and reporting on

system performance. We also created a provincial domestic violence plan and

appointed a blue ribbon panel on crime reduction that will release its findings this fall.

The most common concern raised during Cowper’s con-sultations was that the system works too slowly. While it is a reality facing B.C. and many other jurisdictions, we are working to change this.

Although 98 per cent of criminal cases are resolved with-out a trial, some of those resolutions take too long, which undermines the public’s confidence in the system. B.C.’s prosecution service has addressed this challenge with a number of changes, including a file ownership model that will give prosecutors extended responsibility for a file and its resolution. This will provide a quicker resolution of cases, and that’s good for everyone - victims, accused, wit-nesses and the public.

We are also supporting a new process for scheduling cases. Under the leadership of the Chief Judge, we are working with the Provincial Court to make better use of staff, court and judiciary resources. This new approach will also emphasize the role of prosecutors and the defence in finding early resolutions to cases, which will help to ensure

efficient use of court resources and quicker access to jus-tice.

In the near future, we’ll be launching an online civil-resolution tribunal that will help British Columbians settle strata and small-claims disputes quickly and easily online.

This is part of our plan to make the justice system work better for people, by giving them more convenient access to services and more tools to find effective resolutions quicker and at less cost. Doing that will free up the courts to deal with the most serious matters.

But successful change, Cowper stressed, requires all jus-tice system participants to work together. He encouraged collaboration and co-ordination between justice profes-sionals. That’s why we’re proud of the ongoing Justice Summits we’re holding, which bring together justice-sec-tor leaders to engage in frank discussions about how we can work together to make further improvements.

Guided by Cowper’s recommendations and govern-ment’s action plan for reforms, I’m confident we are estab-lishing a strong foundation to move forward with practical changes that will improve the experiences of British Col-umbians who access the justice system over the coming years.

Attorney General optimistic about future changes to justice system

BC Liberals

To the editor,

The B.C. Liberal Party, defender of families, seems to have forgotten that families include children and children need a good education, not just babysit-ting.

The Liberals plead that they have no money for education yet they gave in on

cancelling the HST with barely a whim-per knowing they needed the money for education and health.

All is not lost. There are still large sources of cash for essential social servi-ces like education. As reported recent-ly in The British Medical Journal, only 11 per cent of all current medical treat-ments in North America and Europe are beneficial.

The rest are likely to cause harm

including many deaths from prescribed medications. Our government should stop paying for these useless drugs and treatments.

In addition, they should pass legisla-tion banning donations to political par-ties from Big Pharma and other compan-ies looking for favours.

Heavy fines should be levied on doc-tors convicted of taking gifts from Big Pharma. Instead of paying Big Pharma

for research to develop new drugs, the money should go to our universities and the results made public, not hidden like most of the Big Pharma test results.

These small changes in government conduct could save billions for better uses.

2014 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTION

Norm LetnickMinister of Agriculture

This spring, the B.C. government passed Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission Act, to help farmers grow their business and earn a better living while preserving B.C. farmland for future genera-tions.

We began the process with a clear starting point: the ALC must remain a fully independent tribunal and decision-maker, and continue to make final decisions on specific land uses within the Agricultural Land Reserve; and B.C.’s farmland must be preserved to ensure a sustainable land base for production and a strong future for farming; Bill 24 achieved this by clearly laying out the ALC’s role as an independ-ent decision maker and ensuring it has all of the necessary tools at its disposal to continue making the independent decisions that British Columbians have counted on it to make for more than 40 years.

When I was appointed Minister of Agriculture, I made a commitment that we would consult on the development of any potential new regulations related to Bill 24. This July and August, I delivered on that commitment.

A Minister’s reference group, comprised of representatives from the ALC, the Union of British Col-umbia Municipalities and the agricultural industry, was struck and convened to inform the consulta-tion process and any regulatory outcomes.

Our goal was simple: to hear people’s thoughts about the implications of what has been suggested, and gather the best ideas to help farmers earning a living on their land and ensure another generation is ready and willing to get into farming.

Informed by meetings with the reference group, 12 specific questions were drafted covering topics ranging from whether the parametres for allowable on-farm food storage, packing, processing and retail establishments should be revised – to whether breweries, distilleries and meaderies be allowed on ALR land on the same or similar terms as wineries and cideries are currently allowed.

In July and August, Ministry staff, accompanied by representatives from the ALC, met face to face with more than 100 local government and farming organization representatives in six B.C. regions. The group listened to their feedback and ideas. All British Columbians were also invited to participate and share their ideas and views through our public website or by writing me directly.

In addition, throughout August I travelled more than 4,000 kilometres in my van talking with B.C. farmers and ranchers about how best to grow the agriculture sector while encouraging them to provide input on the consultation.

I’m pleased to report we had a strong response from all groups with a broad range of thoughtful com-ments for consideration.

A Ministry team, together with agriculture policy experts, will read through all of the comments and create a report and summary that will identify main themes and ideas. This report will be presented to the Minister’s reference group, and will be shared publicly.

I want to thank all the British Columbians who took the time to get involved and contacted me with ideas and input.

I’d also like to thank the ALC, whose input and experience was invaluable throughout this process, for their assistance at the regional sessions, as well as the members of the board of the B.C. Agriculture Council, other industry representatives, members of the UBCM, and MLAs who attended these ses-sions as observers.

We believe giving farmers more opportunities to grow their farming businesses is a benefit to them.We also think it’s a benefit to British Columbians who want access to more foods grown in this prov-

ince.I am confident that together, we can help ensure a strong future for farming in British Columbia.

Ag minister impressed with feedback

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The province is con-templating changing how it punishes pubs, restaurants and liquor stores that violate liquor rules that ban over-serving and sell-ing to minors.

Multiple Golden establishments have been fined over viola-tions.

Business owners have asked govern-ment for a more flex-ible penalty system and a month-long online consultation running to Sept. 30 asks stake-holders for input on the options.

One possibility to be explored is lower or higher penalties.

According to a gov-ernment discussion paper released last week, B.C. penalties are stiffer than most

other provinces.“Decreasing penal-

ties would bring Brit-ish Columbia in clos-er alignment with the average among the provinces,” it says, not-ing government must balance business hard-ship and the need for deterrence for public safety.

A first offence for a B.C. liquor establish-ment typically means a one- to three-day suspension for over-crowding and 10 days or a $7,500 fine for selling to a minor (the first-offence max-imum is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.)

Alberta bars have a choice of paying a fine or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas up for consider-ation – and most oper-ators there choose the fine, which is typ-

ically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety first offence.

The stiffest penalties are in Ontario, where suspensions of 21 days and longer are com-mon.

Another issue is per-ceived unfairness of the current system for different business types.

Food-primary out-lets can keep on serv-ing food during a sus-pension, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close entirely.

That raises the ques-tion of whether fines are a better option, the paper says.

It adds the penalties must spur liquor viola-tors to voluntary com-pliance and not be so low they’re mere-ly treated as a cost of doing business.

The consultation is

in response to recom-mendations flowing from the liquor policy review headed by BC Liberal MLA John Yap.

“We have been ask-ing for review of the penalty schedule for a while,” said Jeff Guig-nard, executive direc-tor of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, which reprensents a broad spectrum of bars, stores and other liquor sellers.

He said a $7,000 fine for failing to check an ID could be a month of profit for a mom-and-pop rural liquor store in northern B.C., but negligible to a big Van-couver bar.

Guignard also favours some mech-anism to reward an outlet’s good compli-ance over past years, perhaps akin to how motorists with a long crash-free record

build up safe driving discounts with ICBC.

There were 13,415 inspections of liquor licensees last year, resulting in just under 400 contravention notices or nearly three per cent of inspec-

tions. But of those, less than half (171) led to enforcement action being taken.

The most common violation in recent years has been supply-ing liquor to minors, followed by permitting

an intoxicated person to remain on the prem-ises.

The discussion paper can be found at http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/docs-forms/penalty-sched-ule-consultation.pdf

Despite dedicating an enormous amount of time to Little Mittens, founder Alannah Knapp is actually more of a dog person.

“Everyone says ‘you must love cats’ but actually my dogs are my life,” Knapp laughed.

Still, Knapp has grown to love cats as well, and it’s a good thing, because they’ve become a huge part of her life.

Knapp, who moved to Golden from Ontario, start-ed Little Mittens along with friend Diane Slater, in the spring of 2011 after noticing an ever growing popula-tion of feral cats around Golden and Area A. Knapp works at the Northern Lights Wildlife Centre in the Blaeberry Valley, and felt the need to do something about the number of feral cats she saw on her drive to work.

“Everywhere you walked there were cats in ditch-es and people were dropping kittens off in the Blae-berry,” Knapp explained. “You could see kittens being dropped off everywhere basically.”

Through both rescues and spay and neuter pro-grams, Knapp has noticed a difference in the number of feral cats over the past few years, and believes this most recent year has been the organization’s best, with intake numbers that are significantly lower than in the past.

“Our numbers are way way down. We had 87 kittens last year at this time, and we have about 15 or so right now. This is the first year we’ve noticed a big difference and I think the spay and neuter program had a lot to do with it,” Knapp said.

Little Mittens began out of Slater’s basement, but now occupies a small shelter near the airport, given to the organization by the Town. They’re hoping to expand on that space in the fall by adding a quarantine area in order to better deal with sick cats, as well as a more pub-lic-friendly adoption space.

Naturally, fundraising is a factor in determining Little Mittens’ future growth, and they’ll be hosting a couple

events next weekend to help finance their renovations. On Sept. 12, Tim Hus will be performing at Mad Trap-per Pub and the next morning, beginning at 10 a.m., Little Mittens will host a garage sale at the CP parking lot.

Donations are being accepted for the garage sale up until the morning of the event. Contact Little Mittens

at [email protected] or 250-939-8085 in order to arrange a donation.

For Knapp, Little Mittens remains a serious passion for her, one that she dedicates a lot of her own money and a good chunk of her spare time to.

“It’s pretty much a full-time job…but this isn’t going to stop. I’ll never stop doing this,” she said.

Kicking Horse Culture is entering its 10th year as an organization, and are excited to present their Live Kicks line-up for the year.

"I'm really pleased with how it has come together this year," said Bill Usher, executive dir-ector of Kicking Horse Culture (KHC).

Booking a lineup for a com-munity like Golden is a bit of a juggling act for KHC. Usher has to find acts that will be tour-ing through Western Canada, and travelling through, or at least close to Golden.

"We have to look at who's com-ing down the road… If they're not playing Calgary or Edmon-ton, and then Vancouver or Kelowna, then they're not com-ing down that highway."

As usual, KHC's goal is to book a variety of performances to reach as wide an audience as possible. This year the line-up features theatre, film, and music that ranges from coun-try, to gypsy folk and rumba-fla-mengo-jazz.

"I've been watching the way our audiences have been com-ing to the shows, which ones they've been attending. And I think there's been a general appetite for things that you can only see in the big city," said Usher.

The most well-known performer, who is already expected to sell out the final Live Kicks performance in April, is Canadian legend Jimmy Rankin. However every year Usher finds that it is some relatively unknown perform-er who winds up being a local favourite.

"It's worth looking at the performers you may not have heard of, because even though they're not known across the country, they give some tre-mendous performances," said Usher.

KHC has always focused efforts on youth outreach, but are pleased to be able to expand on that this year as some extra funding was secured. Golden Secondary School, with the help of two local teachers, will be hosting

a Kick Yourself Club. Students will meet up prior to perform-ances coming to town, and dis-cuss the artist. They even plan to set up Skype interviews where the students will be able to ask the performers ques-tions, and get a better sense of what kind of experience the show will be.

"Hopefully we can get more and more of those students realizing what is available to them," said Usher, who believes that engagement in theatre and the arts is an invaluable experience for youth.

Funding has also been secured to offer two daytime youth performances from James Hill and Servantes (two of the Live Kicks performers) for the elementary school stu-dents.

"It gets kids out of the school and into the theatre, and the theatre is a whole different environment."

The dance theatre company, Motus O from Toronto, will also be coming back this year for some community outreach. Last year they included more than 20 community mem-bers in their performance of A Christmas Carol. This year they will be doing seven days of workshops for youth and adults in January, which will lead into the Masque Parade.

The Live Kicks lineup announcement comes after another successful Summer Kicks series in Spirit Square.

"I thought the Summer Kicks season went really well. The feedback that we've received has been great," said Usher. KHC has already begun look-ing at next year's series, and are beginning to secure acts.

This year's performances were captured by local film-maker and high school stu-dent Madeline Archibald, who has been filming all summer for KHC. Her videos, which allow people who didn't make it out to a show to see what the experience was like, can be found on KHC's Youtube channel (which can be found through Google). She will con-tinue documenting the con-certs throughout the year, and is also working on a Live Kicks season preview.

Check back in the Golden Star to see what shows are com-ing up. Tickets and member-ships to KHC will be available at the Art Gallery of Golden.

"They're wonderful nights with friends, with commun-ity, and you're seeing some stuff that's world-class up on that stage, and it's in our little town," said Usher.

This summer's wildfire season will go down as one of the most destructive on record in B.C.

As of the end of last week, fires had burned up more than 330,000 hectares across the province and are expected to soon surpass the 337,000 hectares destroyed in the 2010 fire season.

Fires near Kinbasket and Canal Flats were the two fires burning closest to Golden, bringing in some smoke to the community, but never threatening any life or property.

This year is still far short of 1958, when a staggering 856,000 hectares burned, but 2014 could move into fifth place if it surpasses 1950's 343,339 hectares, or even third if it tops the 351,000 lost in 1971.

While much timber has burned, no homes or other significant structures have been lost this year, so by that meas-ure it's been nowhere near as catas-trophic as the 2003 fire season, when more than 300 homes were lost or dam-aged in the Okanagan Mountain and McClure fires.

But it has been costly.The province has so far spent more

than $246 million fighting wildfires, almost four times what was budget-ed, and more than the $212 million

expended in 2010.Despite wet weather on the Labour

Day weekend, fire officials are bracing for more warm dry spells in September.

"It's unlikely we've seen the end of the fire season by any stretch of the imagin-ation," fire information officer Dustin Eno said.

The actual number of fires this year – just over 1,300 – is well below the aver-age of 1,600 a year.

But many of the fires have been very large.

The biggest, and still only 20 per cent contained, is the 130,000-hectare Chelaslie River fire, which is between Anahim Lake and Burns Lake, near Entiako and Tweedsmuir provincial parks. Homes remain under evacuation order there.

The largest evacuations this summer have included the China Nose fire near Houston and the McAllister fire, which forced the evacuation of the entire town of Hudson's Hope in July.

Assisting B.C. crews have been large numbers of imported firefighters and equipment, from other provinces, Alas-ka and Australia.

"We've brought in a lot and have been very grateful to be able to draw on those relationships, both right across Canada and internationally," Eno said.

"Last year we exported a lot of fire-fighters to fight in other jurisdictions

and this year they were able to return that favour."

There are still 152 active fires and

another 85 out-of-province firefighters arrived Thursday from Ontario so B.C. crews could take mandatory days off.

Fire season ranked among BC’s worst, yet no loss of property

It’s been over 100 years since World War I began, and it still feels like the world’s first major global conflict is far over-shadowed by its successor when it comes to literature and film. Famous novels such as From Here to Eternity and Catch-22, along with blockbuster films like Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbour, have depicted life dur-ing World War II, but how many movies and books have been made about World War I? And how many have focused on the Canadian war effort? Further still, how many have focused on Aboriginals during the war? All of this is what makes Joseph Boyden’s novel Three Day Road both unique and a must-read.

In 1919, Niska learns that her nephew and last remaining rela-tive, Xavier Bird, has returned from The Great War severely wounded and addicted to mor-phine. Xavier had lived off the land in Northern Ontario along-side his aunt before joining the war effort with his friend Elijah.

After hearing the news about Xavier, Niska hurriedly paddles the three day journey to pick him up and bring him home.

Throughout the return trip, Xavier narrates the reader through his time spent in the military and the horror and dev-astation that results. Sprinkled beside that narrative is Niska’s story about her life growing up isolated in the bush as an Oji-

Cree medicine woman. Xavier’s account is the larger

focus of the book as he tells stor-ies of his journey from Northern Ontario to Toronto and eventu-ally to the front lines of World War I in Europe. With limited English, Xavier must rely on Eli-jah (who previously attended a residential school) to help him along, especially in the very beginning.

Three Day Road’s biggest strength is in its character evolu-tion (or devolution in this case), which Xavier witnesses first hand as his friend descends into madness and morphine addic-tion.

For Elijah, killing starts out as something that he needs to do, before evolving into some-thing that he wants to do. It’s horrifying to see him make that transition with each addition-al kill under his belt - the tro-phies he keeps from his victims is particularly gruesome - but it makes for a very interesting character study. In many ways, morphine becomes just a sec-ondary addiction.

The only minor complaint I have with Three Day Road is that I’d like to see a little more balance between Niska’s story and Xavier’s. I really enjoy novels that bounce around between various character’s perspectives, but I feel like Xaiv-er’s story is far more prominent than Niska’s in this case. Per-haps that’s due to the nature of Niska’s life (as a single woman living in the boonies) but it still

would have been nice to see more chapters written from her perspective. Having said that, I wouldn’t want any of Xavier’s story cut down, and the book might be long enough as it is at nearly 400 pages.

All in all, Three Day Road is a perfect novel for war history buffs, but one that anyone can enjoy as well for its extraordin-ary character development and brutal war-time narrative. It’s a fantastic debut novel for Boy-den, and his follow up novels have drawn similar praise. He’s definitely an author to keep an eye on.

Three Day Road is available for purchase at Bacchus Books & Cafe.

CSRD SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT ON SOLID WASTE PLANNING

The following story is recorded remem-brances of Arvid Johnson and can be found in 2000 Golden Memories.

One of our favour-ite stopping places, on the way to and from school, was Billy Wenman’s Shoe Repair Shop. If we discovered any pecu-liar looking bug, butterflies or such, we would catch them and

take them to Billy. He would preserve them in alcohol. Billy was very kind to us all. He would make repairs to our shoes or rub-bers for a very small charge, or no charge at all.

He made canvas music stand cases for all members of the band, free of charge. When we were grow-ing up to the dan-cing age, throughout the winter months, we would hold week-ly parties at our homes playing cards, and dancing. Some favourite dances were the Virginia Reel, Two Steps, and Waltzes. We would take turns at our homes, the Maxwells, Wenmans, Blysaks, Mrs. John Pratt, and the John-

sons. Billy Wenman had one of the Edison Phonographs with the long horn on it. This played cylinder

records. He would bring it to wherever the party was being held. In the summer we would get together for big picnics which other families would join. We would have to walk to wherever we were going as there were no automobiles available until later years.

In the Spring, after the snow was gone, and in the summer also, a favorite outing on Sunday afternoon, was to walk the rail-way track east up the Kicking Horse Can-yon for several miles. Upon our return we would congregate at the C.P.R. Station and watch the arrival and departure of Train Number 4, which at that time came in at five p.m.

There was always lots of music in our home. Mother played the organ and the accordion. Many of the Swedes who came played the accordion or mouth organ.

In 1912, a toboggan slide was built from the top of the hill back of the smelter, down past the smelt-er and over the hump by the smoke stack, and along the railway track for a distance. It was about three quar-ters of a mile long and was boarded up on both sides. At one time the last lap was over the railway track towards the Kicking Horse River.

This had to be stopped because of the danger involved. I believe boards from the Smelter build-

ings had been used for the slide. I under-stand that the older Henderson boys and others in their age group exercised their skill and knowledge in building this slide.We used some of the rails from the Smelt-er to build a track up the side of the hill. Then we would push one of the ore cars to the top. Everyone climbed on for a ride down the hill. Once it jumped the track and Louis Blysak got his leg jammed against a tree. We had to stop this enjoyment also because of the risk.

In the winter, for skating, we would shovel off the snow on the Kicking Horse River in a large area for an outdoor skat-ing rink. We had

many nice skating parties. Many people from town would come up and join the fun.

We would fish in the Kicking Horse Riv-er off the old Smelter bridges and later off the Kootenay Central bridge. We caught many trout and white-fish here. We also fished for grayling off the old Sawmill Wharf on the Colum-bia River.

We would use these as bait for ling cod which we caught fur-ther up the Colum-bia in the evening. The ling cod had nice white meat. They had to be skinned and had just one set of bones down the mid-dle. They were slimy things to catch and handle.

The Alexander Smelter built across the river from the present College of the Rockies. This smelter never ran a full shift in Golden because the machinery that had been installed was not adequate. Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum

StarCROSSWORD

by Kamia Shepherd ATP*Special to the Golden Star

This town is in blossom. Blossoming on several lev-els. The plant and fairy kingdoms are prevalent with the blooming flowers that line houses and streets. Just as the physical reality blooms, so to does the etheric, the spiritual awareness of a place seek balance with the physical.

The card for the week depicts a soft pink and white hydrangea. There are several clusters of opening blos-soms on three different stems. Two stems are touching with the third stem reaching towards the others. In this circumstance, the two that touch are the physical and emotional bodies, while the third that reaches forward is the spiritual. This is a week where our hearts, and our bodies, seek to reconcile our personal awareness of spirit and the Divine. This can manifest as a week for vivid dreams, or beginning to yearn for a reconnection of our cherished dreams that have remained silent for some time. What are the areas in our lives that are ready for new investment? Is there a project, a dream long cherished, or a new one emerging that we are ready to invest in? The card reads “the first step”.

Taking the first step towards fruition could be through research, courageous conver-sation, or self nurturing. A note on the fridge that lists the dream, the project, or an intention, or a choice to claim time for mediation, prayer, yoga or music that makes ones heart fill with joy. Whichever action feels right for us, is the one our angels, guides and the ascended masters working with us at this time, seek to aid us. Every small step matters.

May our dreams begin to blossom.

Thomas “Tom” SimeJune 25, 1929 – August 12, 2014

Thomas Sime passed away peacefully at Foothills Hospital, Calgary on Tuesday, August 12th, 2014 at the age of 85 years.

Tom was awarded the first Freeman Status for the Town of Golden in 1981. He was active in Golden Minor Hockey for several years as a coach. Tom loved the outdoors. When he wasn’t trapping in the winter or preparing for it in the summer, he was either enjoying activities with his two grandchildren Alexandra and Brendan, or busy helping others.

Tom was predeceased by his mother and father, Thomas and Lily Sime, brothers Jim and Bob, and sisters Florence and May. He is survived by his wife Jean of 56 years; daughter Gloria, son-in-law Cory, grandchildren Alexandra and Brendan, grand-pets Diesel, Buddy and Sparkle; sister Audrey (Ron) Roylance of Midway, B.C.; two sisters-in-law as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

There weren’t too many fam-iliar faces at the Golden Rock-ets’ main camp over the week-end, but those that were there had no trouble impressing head coach Ty Davidson.

Standouts among returning players were forward Ian Des-rosier and forward turned defenceman Sean Ripley.

Desrosier, who earned a spot on the Rockets’ second line last season, showed some ear-ly chemistry with newcom-er Zack Finlay. Late in Sunday afternoon’s scrimmage, Finlay screamed down the left wing and found a waiting Desrosier at the goal mouth for an easy finish.

It was a typical perform-ance from the pair throughout camp, and an encouraging sign for Davidson, who wouldn’t dis-miss the idea that Desrosier and Finlay could form a duo on one of the club’s top two lines.

“All week long, they’ve been dynamite together, so that looks like it could be at least a tandem,” Davidson said.

The Rockets still anticipate having a few of their forwards from last season sent back to the club from Junior A tryouts. Nick Hoobanoff was a Junior A

casualty over the weekend and was due to return to Golden on Monday. The Canal Flats native put up a promising 28 points in 49 games last season as a rook-ie and should give the coaching staff another skilled player to put on their top two lines.

“He’s a great player and he’ll compliment anybody,” David-son said.

Ripley is being used on defence after battling an injury last season and only manag-ing to play in 28 games, most of those coming as a forward. Both Davidson and assistant coach Danny Orr agreed he looked extremely comfortable on the blueline throughout camp

“He’s been doing really well,” Davidson said. “It’s hard to tell he is new to defence.”

In addition to Finlay, a few newcomers made some early, positive impressions. Among them was local product Jake Gudjonson, who is too young to play full-time for the Rockets but will find a place on the ros-ter as an associate player, which will allow him to play up to five games.

“When you get a kid that good, you have to find some-thing for him,” Davidson said. “He looks like a future (full-time) Rocket.”

Alex Astasiewicz appears to be another promising addition. The defenceman was selected in the third round by the Ever-ett Silvertips in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft and will find a home on the Rockets blueline as a 16 year-old. At 6’0” and 190 lbs, Astasiewicz already possess-

es good size and should give the team a solid two-way presence on the back end.

In net, competition was fierce amongst the goaltend-ers brought to camp but Cali-fornia native Mitchell Privett remains the favourite to earn the starting gig. Privett was set

to play Junior A hockey south of the border last season before an injury derailed his season.

The Rockets played their first exhibition game at home last night (Sept. 2) against the Revelstoke Grizzlies.
