Friends and family celebrate Mag MagnussonJessica [email protected]

Last week Golden mourned the loss of one of the community’s most treasured public servants.

Magnus “Mag” Arnold Magnusson passed away at the age of 70, leaving behind a legacy in Gold-en that will not soon be forgotten.

Mag, who is commonly known for having a heart as big as his stature, dedicated almost 13 years of service to the Town of Golden as a coun-cillor. When he had to resign due to health issues in 2012 he was very saddened that he could no longer carry out his duties, and missed his com-munity during his final months.

His love for Golden began long before his run for public office however. Mag moved to Parson

with his family from the Scandinavian commun-ity in Gimli, Manitoba, in 1948.

It was here in the Columbia Valley where he made his way through school, began his career at Kicking Horse Forest Products (until his retire-ment in 1997), began his family with wife Anne, and raised their three children Rob, Chris, and Margret.

Mag found several organizations in town he was passionate about, and was soon an avid vol-unteer, becoming a familiar face at many not-for-profit tables.

He donated his time to the Golden Golf Club, the Shriners and Masons, as well as serving on the boards of the Columbia Valley Credit Union and East Kootenay Regional Hospital District. And when he thought he could help the community

as a councillor, he stepped up to the challenge.He was guided by the principle that making the

right decision was more important than making the popular decision. In his final run for coun-cil, he asked longtime friend Glen Ewan to sign his nomination papers, even though his health was deteriorating. He told Ewan, “I can be sick at home and do nothing. Or I can get back on coun-cil, and do something for this community.”

The community showed their support for Mag’s philosophy and hard work by re-electing him time and time again.

He left an impression on all those who met him, both professionally and personally, and will be missed by many.

Information came from the many friends who spoke at the funeral service at the Golden Civic Centre on July 6.

Update on open fires in SoutheastGolden Star [email protected]

As of noon on Monday July 8, all open fires are prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction, which covers an area from the U.S. border to the Mica Damn, and includes Golden.

The ban is in effect to help prevent human caused wildfires and protect public safety. The prohibition will remain in place until Sept. 20, or until the public is otherwise notified.

The prohibition does not restrict camp-fires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and does not apply to cook-ing stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes.

It does prohibit the burning of any waste, slash or other material, stubble or grass fires of any size, as well as fireworks, sky lanterns, and burning barrels of any size.

Anyone enjoying a campfire must main-

tain a fire guard by removing flammable deb-ris from around the fire area, and must have a hand tool or a minimum of eight litres of water nearby to properly extinguish the fire.

The prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply with-in the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are ser-viced by a fire department.

Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a pen-alty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Crews from the Southeast Fire Centre have responded to 27 wildfires since April 1 (22 caused by humans and five caused by lightning), which have burned a total of 168 hectares.

Golden Star [email protected]

The Province has plant-ed more than 20,000 trees to kick off an innovative pro-gram that uses private-sec-tor investment to stimu-late ecosystem restoration and reforestation on Crown land, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson announced.

“The Forest Carbon Partner-ship Program allows us to cre-ate jobs for British Columbians in the short term and enables increased reforestation of dam-aged lands. In the long term,

the program will enhance the province’s ability to store car-bon and address the issue of greenhouse gas emissions,” said Thomson.

Under the program, corpor-ate investors pay to plant trees - which store carbon and low-er greenhouse gas levels - and then receive a carbon offset credit. Over time, the program could expand to hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest.

“British Columbia is recog-nized internationally as a cli-mate action leader and is com-mitted to maintaining that status,” said Mary Polak, Minis-ter of Environment.

The provincial program is

being organized by the Carbon Offset Aggregation Coopera-tive, an independent organiza-tion set up to manage both the investments and subsequent carbon credits.

“This is a ground-breaking program, perhaps the first of its kind in North America. It means that the province can address important climate change and reforestation issues while providing investors to make a positive impact on the economy and the environment. Together, we are making an investment in the future of the province,” MaryAnne Arcand, chair of the Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative.

Older pedestrians are less likely to survive a collision than younger people. It is also a fact of life that aging brings with it a reduction in perceptual abilities such as poorer vision, depth perception and increased chance of confusion. Add bad walking habits to the mix and an already risky situation becomes worse. All of the things that we teach our children to survive in traffi c are equally applicable to older pedestrians.

Use a sidewalk if one is available, otherwise, walk facing the traffi c. This will either remove you from the normal path of motor vehicles or allow you to watch them approach and decide to get out of the way if necessary.

Cross at intersections or in marked crosswalks after stopping to look and listen carefully. Hearing loss coupled with very quiet automobiles requires that an older pedestrian use all of the senses available to them to avoid stepping out in front of an approaching vehicle.

If you are walking at twilight or in the dark, at least wear light coloured clothing. Better still, wear refl ective clothing and carry a fl ashlight. Consider the purchase of a fl ashing light band meant to be worn on an arm or a clip on light for your belt. You cannot be too visible!

Looking to a brighter economic futureJessica [email protected]

Golden Area Initiatives may be coming to an end, but the Town of Golden still intends to find a way to deliver those economic services.

Following a recommendation from the Eco-nomic Development Service Vision Commit-tee (EDSV), Golden Town Council voted to continue to deliver economic development services, provided that the Columbia Shus-wap Regional District (CSRD) continues their financial partnership with the municipality.

“There was a lot of debate to come to this conclusion,” said Coun. Caleb Moss, who also served as the chair of the EDSV committee. “I will say that the recommendation coming for-ward from us most definitely highlights that this needs to be a partnership with the CSRD.”

Although invited to the table, the CSRD did not have a representative at the EDSV com-mittee meetings. However they did indicate they intended to support the municipality’s decision said Moss.

Based on the recommendation, the Town will “deliver a regionally oriented, municipal-ly controlled and administered, community economic development service function.”

GAI was established in 2002 (originally

under the name Golden and Area Commun-ity Economic Development Society) as an independent society to undertake commun-ity economic development services on behalf of the Town of Golden and the CSRD (repre-senting Area A).

Several issues began to arise with the arrangement and despite efforts in the last two years, they were not meaningfully addressed to the satisfaction of council.

On May 15, 2012, Council decided to ter-minate the agreement, effective December 31, 2013.

After the submission of their recommen-dation, the EDSV committee is officially dis-solved as of June 30. It is now up to the muni-cipality to “begin the necessary legal and administrative processes and negotiations with the regional district, the province, and the Golden and Area Community Econom-ic Development Society to restructure and enable the service function.”

Councillors Keith Hern and Ron Oszust were unable to attend the council meeting, but were given the opportunity to submit comments or questions to be read out during the discussion.

Neither provided feedback in time for the meeting.

A lifetime of col-lecting led Ray Tress to make the decision to open his own museum in Nicholson 20 years ago.

“It just started add-ing up. It is a little bit of everything. Everything has a story behind it,” he said.

Tress has been col-lecting for as long as he can remember.

“It is hard to say when I started because I always had things that I liked. It slowly added up from a few tables to this,” he said.

The museum started after his son put a deck on his house for a wed-ding. Tress then start-ed putting his collec-tion on tables on the deck.

“Pretty soon there were so many tables I figured I better put a roof over it,” he said.

“I never thought much about it until one day a couple of guys from Seattle dropped by and said this should be called Ray’s Museum. That is where the museum stuff started.”

One part of the col-lection has more than 100 meat grinders that mostly came from Eng-land and Europe.

“The story behind those is that I have been trying to find two alike and still haven’t paired two of them up,” he said.

Tress also has more than 90 chainsaws in his collection.

“I grew up with power saws. My first experience in the bush was before power saws were there. My dad bought one of the first power saws in the area.”

Tress has many antiques and col-lectables including a dancehall gramo-phone from the 1920s, Model T tools boxes, stagecoaches and

Avon steins.One special item

in the museum is his grandparents’ truck, which was supposed to have been on the Titanic.

“They never got on. They would have been in the third class so they prob-ably would not have made it. According to my grandmother they were right at the gate and it was closed right in front of her,” he said.

Many of the items in his collection came from auctions, garage sales and even pick-ing up items while on vacations.

“Every time we went someplace we would bring something back. We always end-ed up at auctions or other places to buy. We always pulled in no matter where it was. Sometimes we had to go back for a second trip to get it all,” said Tress.

“Many people have a shocked reaction when the drop by the museum. They say, ‘Oh my God’ when they come in.”

Many people from Europe come through

the establishment.“The Dutch people

are really into this…Denmark and Sweden people as well. They come in and spend hours looking through,” he said.

As for the future Tress said he has no plans to sell his collec-tion anytime soon.

“It doesn’t really mat-ter as long as it is old. I like my stuff and don’t want to get rid of it.”

Ray Tress has spent a lifetime collecting things that he loves and has turned his passion into a museum for the ages in Nicholson. Darryl Crane/Star Photo

After a self-imposed three-month proba-tion, Jon Wilsgard can officially settle into his permanent pos-ition of Chief Admin-istrative Officer for the Town of Golden.

Halfway through 2013, he sat down with the Golden Star to talk about where the municipality stands, what’s been accomplished, and what is coming up in the second half of the year.

“Some things have dropped off the plate because we have lost a couple of staff, and other circumstances. But it’s my hope that over time there will be a little more focus in the organization,” said Wilsgard, who admitted he is con-stantly frustrated that the Town does not have the time or resources to com-plete all the projects they want to.

“But when I look

back sometimes I real-ize just how much we did.”

Several Resort Municipality Initia-tive projects are either completed or in their early stages. The roundabout has been fully land-scaped, a new sign is being placed near the Tim Hortons, and both the Spirit Square Amenity Hub and Highway 1 Cor-ridor Projects will be underway shortly.

“We’ve got a com-mittee that’s plan-ning out the con-ceptual design of a permanent amenity hub in Spirit Square. There will be a perma-nent stage to replace the tent, with wash-rooms and that sort of thing,” said Wilsgard.

The designs should be completed by the end of this year, and with any luck it will be ready before the 2014 Summer Kicks series.

The Shaw fibre optic cable project is also nearing comple-tion.

“The essence of the broadband project over the last few years was getting another telecommunications company interested in the Golden area to provide competition and greater services,” said Wilsgard.

More details on the project will be released in the next few months, but the result will be much better service for Golden, and especial-ly Area A residents.

Golden residents can be proud of themselves for their commitment to the Town’s curbside recycling program, which is already show-ing great success said Wilsgard.

“It looks as if our program has the highest uptake in the regional district in terms of per cap-ita use. From 2011 to 2012 we reduced our tonnage going across the landfill scales by 17 per cent, just in the first year. That’s huge.”

There are also some projects of note that are outside the muni-cipality’s scope includ-ing an upgrade to McDonald’s Restau-rant, the construction of a new Holiday Inn, and the addition of a plaza to the side of the Visitor’s Centre.

Even though the Town has lost a few staff members, Wils-gard is pleased to wel-come their new addi-

tion—Jeremy Baylis who is the new bylaw officer.

“A bylaw officer, to me, is as much an ambassador as they are an enforce-ment officer. He’s out there in the com-munity, and he needs to be as pleasant as he is firm. Jeremy is doing a great job,” he said, adding that they are slowly build-ing the tools to better

enforce bylaws, and collect monies for vio-lations.

“He’s already mak-ing great progress on some property clean-ups.”

With all these suc-cessful programs and projects, Wilsgard is looking to the future and making sure that the Town’s priorities are identified.

He will be sitting down with coun-

cil in the fall, look at their asset manage-ment, and determine what infrastructure needs to upgraded or replaced before the federal government announces their next round of infrastruc-ture grants next year.

“The communities who are prepared and have gone through this prioritization process are going to be favoured.”

Students paint Golden’s storm drains to keep drinking water safe

Armed with brushes, bright yellow paint and stencils with a faucet symbol, Golden students took to the streets on June 13 to help raise awareness about the town’s storm drain system.

The project was part of Columbia Basin Trust’s Know Your Watershed program. Grade 8 students Jared Frasca, Brianna Beech and Sierra Ingram spearheaded the first phase of this multiyear project.

Helped by Marie-Helene Bergeron’s Grade 3 class, students painted more than 65 faucet symbols beside the com-munity’s storm drains in less than two hours.

They also handed out brochures to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, many of whom didn’t realize the water collected in storm drains ends up in dry wells that seep water into the ground above the Town’s 30-metre deep aquifer - the source of the local drinking water.

“The aim of the project is to let resi-dents know that when rain lands on the streets, sidewalks and driveways in Golden, the water drains into over 100 storm drains that lead to underground dry wells, or runs straight into Hospi-tal Creek,” said Sanne van der Ros, the Know Your Watershed co-ordinator for Golden.

“Any surface pollution could affect the safety of our community’s drinking water or affect the fish and other living organisms in Hospital Creek and fur-ther downstream in the Columbia Riv-er.”

The project was given the green light by the Town’s Manager of Operations

Chris Cochran, who shares the belief that it’s important for people to know where their water comes from and where it goes after it’s used.

Because of the direct link to Golden’s drinking water supply, students chose to paint a faucet symbol instead of a fish, which is commonly used in commun-

ities where storm water drains into riv-ers or lakes.

“These students are taking the infor-mation from the Know Your Watershed program and turning it into an action project with tangible results,” said Rick Allen, CBT program manager. “Not only are they students learning about

their water, but they’re developing a stewardship ethic by passing this learn-ing onto the entire town.”

In the coming weeks students will con-tinue to distribute the “Home Tips for Healthy Streams” brochure, which gives clean water tips for cars, driveways, lawns, gardens and waste.

Marie-Helene Bergeron and her Grade 3 class helped paint storm drains, along with volunteer Jen Savage and Know Your Watershed Co-ordinator Sanne van der Ros. Photo Submitted

RCMP Report: Plane makes emergency landing on highwayDarryl [email protected]

Sticky places

2013-07-01

Police received a call from a Fire Services Ranger who had come upon an unoccupied truck stuck in the mud and riv-er water at Kicking Horse River and Beaver Foot.

They were concerned with the environmental impact the vehicle could have if left there.

Prior to police respond-ing, the owners of the vehicle made contact with the Ran-ger, explaining they were not aware the ground was so soft in the area. They had already arranged for a tow to remove their vehicle.

Lights lead to impounding

2013-06-30

A vehicle travelling on High-way 1 through Golden at night was spotted with only the day time running lights on.

The vehicle was stopped by police and the driver failed two roadside screening devices. The driver lost his or her driv-ing privileges for 90 days.

In addition the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Firewood theft

2013-06-29

RCMP received a report of a theft from a business in Nichol-son. Two males were seen tak-ing firewood from a local busi-ness. The suspects’ vehicle was described as being a white truck with an “Independent” logo on the side.

Theft from a vehicle

2013-06-27

There was a report of a theft from vehicle parked on 12th Street South. The vehicle had been left unlocked. A cellular phone, iPod and Parks Canada Park Pass were all taken from the vehicle.

Equipment failure

2013-06-28

There was a report of a traf-fic hazard on Highway 1 east of Golden.

Police attended to find a motorhome, which had been towing a trailer, blocking the road.

The motorhome’s hitch had broken causing the trailer to disconnect. Luckily the trail-er remained within its lane and

no other vehicles were involved in the incident.

Travellers are reminded to ensure that their vehicles are in good working order, vehicle hitches are examined to ensure no stress fractures, that trail-ers are properly secured to the towing vehicle with a second-ary coupling device, and that trailers equipped with brakes are connected properly.

Vehicle impounded

2013-06-28

Police conducted a vehicle stop at the 7-11 in Golden.

Plane lands on highway

2013-07-02

Police responded to a report of a plane that made an emer-gency landing on Highway 95 five kilometres south of Gold-en.

The plane lost power requir-ing the pilot to attempt an emergency landing. The air-craft successfully landed on the highway without incident or

injury.

Raft leak causes search

2013-07-02

Police responded to a report of a male screaming for help. Screams were coming from the south CP yard near the riv-er. Police, EHS, Fire, and GAD-SAR responded and conducted both a land and water search.

After several hours, the police investigation deter-mined that a group of young people had taken to the river on inflatable rafts.

One of the rafts sprung a

leak causing two males to become stuck in a marsh area. The males attempted to call 911 however their phone was soaked and not functioning properly.

They eventually exited on their own and were unharmed.

The males were unaware a search was underway to locate them.

Golden RCMP would like to thank the Golden Fire Depart-ment and Golden and Dis-trict Search and Rescue who responded quickly and con-tinued the search into the dark. They are an invaluable resource in our community.

Pictured above is the plane which was forced to land on the highway south of Golden. It was then transported back to the airport. Michele LaPointe/Star Photo

Response to Finding Restraint

In your June 12 edition, a letter was submitted entitled “Finding Restraint” at the Town of Golden. The first issue posed had little to do with restraint but berated the provincially established Freedom of Information process the author had to engage to get information he wanted.

A great amount of information about your local government can and should be available and is. Look to our website or come to Town Hall to find them.

Information that can be sourced quickly is typically done so for anyone asking as well. But spending time analyzing and producing data in the off chance someone may come looking for it is not something we have time for. So when a data request comes to us, if it isn’t just a matter of pulling a record – if it requires finding data, collating it, or even creating new records - then we use the FOI process.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER COMMUNITY WOULD. It is time consuming and impacts the ability of our staff to do their regular duties. Therefore it warrants

accountability on both sides – charging the requestor if the work is beyond what law tells us is reasonable to the taxpayer, and ensuring a deadline for us to deliver the information in. Write to the Province if you don’t like the FOI process.

Up next was exposing the costs of council attending the Union of BC Municipalities annual conference, which the author supports, but feels that attendance should be limited.

UBCM is the only provincial oriented function actually designed for all elected members of municipalities. It is a critical forum for those elected to truly understand their role through connecting with peers, debating resolutions, and attending educational workshops.

Training and education are an investment in the people who chose public service in a complex environ-ment. In order to influence change in the government structure, you have to be part of the larger system (UBCM) that can influence change.

It is an unequalled professional development opportunity, particularly for a group of individuals who in our case are elected to lead a community and participate in it extensively, while averaging less than $5 per hour in pay over their term.

UBCM gives relevancy to communities by providing the opportunity to speak with cabinet ministers and other provincial leaders to lobby for important community attention and funding.

In the past five years Golden Council has successfully brought back millions in community benefits as a dir-ect result of its attendance and lobbying efforts at UBCM.

It is critical to point out that without investing in the governance training, peer support, and lobbying efforts of elected officials, it may result in the long term erosion of council’s ability to do their job well. Not attending UBCM is a disservice to the key reasons one is elected – to govern wisely by understanding the broader issues of local government, and its relationship to the Province. At 0.31 per cent of total annual expenses for all of council to attend, the deal could not be better.

Christina Benty Mayor-Town of Golden

As summer truly kicks off there are many things that seem to be on the minds of resi-dents in Golden.

The highways around Golden have started to become busier as trav-ellers are heading out to enjoy the beautiful weather. Of course now that the snow has melt-ed, drivers seem to have lost a respect for the roads they travel on.

Speeds have notice-ably increased. Many times I have heard the complaints about the highways in the area but the truth is that speed is the real issue.

Driving a little over the speed limit is one thing but tearing around like you have entered a Formu-la One race makes no sense because all too often it leads to expensive or tragic endings.

For years the discussion has raged around when a divided highway would be completed between Gold-en and Alberta.

Realistically it is hard to see this coming soon due to how many repairs have to get done on the Trans Canada Highway when summer hits.

Work crews are constantly patching up the dam-age done from winter, which leaves little time for an expansion.

People should also be noting the number of thefts from vehicles as the summer months roll in. I have been laughed at before because I constantly lock the doors of my car in this quiet mountain town.

This week I was proven right when someone was spotted by the eagle eye of a great neighbour trying to get into my vehicle.

It is not that Golden is a dangerous place, but one should be aware that the easiest targets are the ones that get hit. So lock those doors and keep your valu-ables in a safe place.

The summer also allows people to get out and enjoy the beauty of Golden. Walkers, bicyclists, extreme adventurists and beach lovers can all find a new place to spend their days.

It is amazing that after more than two years in Golden I still find somewhere new to go each and every week.

Just this week while I was out walking, I was encour-aged to jump in a truck with friends to pop up to Cedar Lake.

I had driven by the area many times but had never gone into the lake itself.

Who knew Golden had such a nice beach where you could go and just kick back on a beautiful day?

In Golden the music has also continued, only now we all can sit outdoors and enjoy ourselves.

The events in Spirit Square are becoming more and more a tourist event where both locals and guests in the area can come together, relax and enjoy a great show.

So in the end get out there and enjoy your summer because before you know it the winter will return.

Drive safe, be careful, enjoy the world that sur-rounds you and don’t be afraid to go for a dance.


Mayor’s ReportBy Christina Benty

Star editorial and opinion

Stingers to people who say “totes” instead of totally. Even Paul Rudd couldn’t pull that one off. Totes Magotes!

A Stars of thanks and love to my hubby, Dave, for all you’ve done this past 10 days - you defi-nitely are a keeper.

Sweet stars to the helpers: Krista, Sharon, Liegh, Amanda and Becky - you took the stress that Dave and I didn’t need.

Stingers to people who drive their unlicensedATVs and Motorbikes on public roads. Remember if you are caught it is over a $550 fine plus your machine will be impounded.

Stars to the guy in the white truck who I followed from Field to Golden for being my white rabbit.

Stingers to the people who let their dogs run rampant at local events

and on our public streets downtown.

Stingers to people who don’t take their garage sale signs down and let them blow around town.

Stingers to the “woo hoo” girls for coming back to town.

Stars to all the people who went to the Civic Centre on July 6 to show their support for the family and friends of Mag Magnusson.

Is a vacation affordable for you this summer?

“Yes it is. Well I wouldn’t say it’s

affordable, but I’m going to Tofino

anyway for some surfing.”

“This is my vaca-tion now. I’m in

Golden to go raft-ing and biking.”

now.”

Canada Day, a strategic future and the loss of a great leaderAs I write this after the holiday weekend, I

feel so delighted with the success of our Can-ada Day weekend festivities.

Both in the town and up at the ski hill, I met hordes of visitors that were astounded by the variety of activities and entertainment in our little community.

All the community organizations, volun-teers, and staff who made this weekend a suc-cess deserve a big thank you. It was the best Canada weekend ever!

Over the years, council’s strategic plan included animation of the Spirit Square and I can confidently say it has been an ongoing success.

It continues to act as a magnet for residents and tourists alike. Whether the space is being used for grad, weddings, concerts, photos

shoots, it has become a predominant gather-ing place creating vibrancy and animation in the downtown.

The Canada Day weekend was marked with some unfortunate news as well. We are sad-dened by the loss of former councillor Mag Magnusson. I offer our sincere condolences to Ann and to the family on behalf of the entire community. Mag has been ill for some time and fought hard to recover. He invested years of time and energy into the commun-ity not only on town council but numerous organizations as well. Golden lost a strong, ethical, wise, and straightforward leader. Golden is a better place because of him. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Our heart goes out to our neighbours in Alberta and around BC who have experi-

enced recent flooding. The devastation gives us pause to consider the possible and sobering consequences for us who live near waterways.

Critical infrastructure provides the foun-dation for our community, and even short term disruptions can have frustrating conse-quences.

Our asset management process and future planning efforts will continue to include cli-mate change as a factor to consider.

To all our residents and visitors, I hope that you will enjoy everything our community has to offer.

Take pleasure in the natural beauty that sur-rounds us because we are in one of the most stunning areas of the world. Stay safe and healthy this summer.

Listen to your body

Tatjana Bates Community nutritionist with Interior Health.

As a community dietitian, I am often asked about the latest trends and diets. I think to get right to the heart of the subject, lets put the Google search away, get back to the basics and listen to our bodies. If you could ask your body what it needs to feel good and enjoy life – I think this is what it would tell you.

Eat regularly. Whether you are working, hiking or travelling, your body needs fuel (food) every three to four hours to sup-port what you are doing. Without regu-lar fuel the body’s metabolism slows down

and becomes sluggish and this can result in weight gain. Too little food can cause weight gain and so can consuming only one or two bigger meals a day. Spreading your food intake throughout the day and eating balanced meals of three to four of the food groups will let your body perform it’s best.

Don’t cut out the good carbohydrates. Do you ever feel your energy levels drop-ping in the afternoon or during an activity? It might be due to a lack of carbohydrates (often called carbs) to balance your meal. Carbohydrates come from the bread and cereals food group. Many diets limit this group which is an important team player that supplies the body with fuel and vita-mins. Check out Canada’s Food Guide to learn more about developing a balanced

plan for you. Keep sugary drinks and treats in check.

These choices have the sole purpose of pure pleasure but too much fun, too often can add up faster than you think.

A small French vanilla cappuccino can pack 10 teaspoons of sugar and two tea-spoons of fat; a 591 ml bottle of pop has 17 teaspoons of sugar. It’s ok to enjoy the odd sweet treat but be sure to check in with yourself and ask how often and what else do I enjoy that might be better for me. Cool smoothies with fresh berries, fruit, and yogurt with 100 per cent juice are a deli-cious and healthier choice.

Get a move on. Your body loves to move whenever it gets a chance. Try planning activities based on seasons to provide a var-

iety of fun activities that can keep you mov-ing throughout the year. Activity has added benefits that we may not often think about like taking the time to clear our minds, notice our surroundings, connect with friends and family and challenging our-selves by trying something new.

Enjoy real fresh food. Nothing beats home cooked, real, locally grown food. This is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh picked colourful produce and herbs from your garden or local food markets.

If your body could talk to you right now I think it would say “don’t worry so much about the trends and the fads - feed me regularly with good, fresh, tasty food and be sure to keep me moving … and by the way thanks for listening.”

Golden may be miles from the coast, but the Rockwater Grill and Bar is giv-ing you a chance to Picture the Ocean on July 13.

The Edmonton band, Picture the Ocean, is a subjective experience, different for everyone, yet still everything you want it to be.

Formerly known as Jesse Dee & Jacquie B (JDJB), the alterna-tive pop group has a new name for an already well-estab-lished act. The new name marks a depar-ture from a more “roots” style of song-writing typically asso-ciated with JDJB, as well as a move towards more involved cre-ative collaboration, which includes new full time drummer/vocalist Matt Blackie.

The brand new album Picture the Ocean (self-titled), 2012, is the follow up to Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls (Sept. 2011) – an album which charted for eight weeks straight in the top 10 on !earshot! and is still chart-ing across Canada.

Very much on the heals of their pre-

vious offering, Pic-ture the Ocean is a collection of songs/stories which have developed in the last year of hard touring together. Right from its inception to the recording process at Sound Extractor

Studios in Edmon-ton it is a truly unique take on rock music that will leave you wondering where on earth this band came from.

The show is free of charge, and starts at 8 p.m.


Tillers Folly takes the stage at Summer KicksGolden Star [email protected]

One of the preeminent Canadian based folk/Celtic groups will be per-forming in Spirit Square on July 17 when Tillers Folly plays Summer Kicks.

The award winning group is at the forefront of a bold new movement in acoustic roots music. For the past 16 years, through 1,000s of perform-ances stretching from the Pacif-ic Northwest to the British Isles, they have spread their memorable blend of energy, history, musicality, romance and just plain fun from small and large halls to televison, radio, the-atres and festivals. With eight studio CDs to the band’s credit and fueled by enthusiasm for the music, Tillers is always experimenting with different phrasing, tones and textures while recording with some of the most excit-ing musicians in the business today as they continue to evolve as artists.

In 2012 the band completed their new project that marks a fresh, new direction for the band and unleashes the writing and acoustic performance

prowess of this band. The band received critical praise

and world-wide recognition when in the summer of 2012 they earned the high honour of winning the 11th Annual Independent Music Awards

Vox Pop Poll for their song “Death & Taxes” from their new album, “Go The Road.”

The Parson Jazz Cooperative will be playing a set during the intermission at the show.

Golden Moments: The many changes to the landscape in GoldenDarryl [email protected]

Florence Muir came to the Golden area from Saskatchewan in 1966.Muir and her family moved when her husband got a job at one of the local

mills.One of the first adventures for the family was coming to Golden from the flat

plains of the prairies to the Rockies.“We came from Saskatchewan so the mountains were so different. The road

was not as good as what it is now so it was interesting,” she said.The family moved to an area around eight mile to live on a farm even though

they did not use it for farming. “The kids had a great time. They could get up and they would always find

things to do,” Muir said.One major difference the family noticed in the first winter was that it was not

as cold as Saskatchewan.“It was a nice place to stay and work. It was quite different. The first year we

did not even need our winter stuff because it was so mild (compared to Sas-katchewan). I always liked that better.”

Muir kept herself busy after moving to Golden by working with local children.“I was raising my family. I worked in a second hand store and did babysitting

at the Civic Centre,” she said. “They would bring the kids over there for us. It was along the line of a day care. It was a nice building. It was warm and we had a good time looking after the kids.”

Muir also enjoyed heading to Civic Centre to play some of her favourite games.

“I enjoy playing bingo over there. The building used to be filled. I won some big prizes over there but I enjoyed it,” she said

Over the years Muir has seen Golden change in size.“It has been interesting to see it grow. There are many places that used to be

open which now have houses on them. There are so many more houses,” she said.

Muir has lived near the Kicking Horse River since moving to Golden in 1985.“We used to walk across the river in winter before the Pedestrian Bridge was

put in. It was solid enough that you could walk across it,” she said. Muir said the day was an exciting one for Golden. Many people came out to the river, including many excited children, to

watch the bridge be hosted in the air and put in place.Florence Muir has seen Golden grow over her 47 years in the area. Darryl Crane/Star Photo

Summer Invasive Weed Co-ordinators

They say April showers bring May flowers, but what they don’t mention is that not all of those flowers are the pretty, nice kind. With every spring comes a new wave of invasive weeds, ready and, if given the chance, able, to take over your garden, and your town.

But fear not! For though they are many, and we are few, the Golden Community’s Inva-sive Weed Co-ordin-ators are more than a match for them. Back for another year, the Golden Communtiny Weed program, set up by Wildsight in collaboration with the Town of Golden, is up and running.

You may not be aware of the threat invasive weeds pose to your garden. Many of the plants we’re after look benign, and even mimic the appearance of native

species; however, they rapidly take over large areas, and pre-vent native plants and animals from living in their natural habitat. Considered to be the second largest threat to biodiversity world-wide, after habitat loss, invasive weeds are a local, and rela-tively easy to manage environmental con-cern.

With the help of the good people of Gold-en, and the hard work of the weed program co-ordinators of the past, present, and future, our town’s invasive weed popu-lation can be kept under control.

If you’d like to help out with the battle against these spe-cies, come out and join us for Golden’s 6th annual weed pull on Thursday, July 11. We’ll be meeting in Spirit Square by the Pedestrian Bridge at 9 a.m., and there will be a free lunch provided, so please RSVP.

For more infor-mation on invasive weeds, the weed pro-

gram, or to learn about invasive plants on your property, please contact Mir-anda and Ali at [email protected], or come out and see us every other week at the Wednesday Farmer’s Market.

Weed pull returns in Golden

Turning Back the Pages: A look at fire safety in Golden

Golden’s fire brig-ade was officially incorporated on May 26, 1898 under the name “Golden Fire Engine Association, Limited”. The first fire chief was G.B. McDermot. In short order the Fire Brig-ade bought a Roland Steam Engine to help supply water for fire protection.

The first fire hall in Golden, built pri-or to 1898, was on the northeast end of the Kicking Horse Bridge. It was a two-storey building with a tower that housed a large brass bell. The fire hall was destroyed by fire in 1921.

The bell was recovered from the ruins, by Chief Harry Parson, who kept the bell until his death. The Fire Department then presented the bell to Bill Wenman in recognition of 50 years of service to the Department. In 1980, Bill moved into Durand Manor and offered the bell back to the Fire Depart-ment, where today it holds a place of hon-our in the Fire Dept. Lounge.

After the loss of the original hall in 1921, there was no replacement for over 20 years. The Volun-teer Fire Brigade was called together by the Columbia River Lumber Companies mill whistle instead. The mill supplied water through wood-en pipes to three hydrants located in town, to which the volunteers hooked up hoses that were carried by hand-drawn carts. The C.R.L. mill closed in 1927, leaving the

town with only a bucket brigade for Fire Protection.

After the Second World War, water was pumped from wells by a gas powered pump supplied by the Federal Government for the Air Raid Pro-tection Volunteers. In May 1945, a public meeting

was called and a Volunteer Fire Brig-ade was reformed with George Keenley-side as Chief. A new Fire Hall was estab-lished in a garage supplied by Keenley-side, located beside the P. Burns and Co. butcher shop on the north side of where the Kicking Horse Bridge now stands.

The first truck pur-chased by the Fire Brigade was a Ford Model A truck. The truck was used to pull a trailer, upon which was mounted the gas powered pump.

The next truck was a 1952 Ford Pump-er. This new truck required a larger hall, so the depart-

ment was relocated to the old Weston dress wear building (locat-ed between where the Big Bend Hotel and the Moon Cafe pres-ently sit).

Golden was incor-porated as a town in1957, and meant another move for the Fire Department, this time to the low-er level of the Town Office.

In 1977, the Town purchased a building from the Overwaitea Company, which was then renovated by the volunteer firefighters into the facility that we all know today. This building has proven to be ideal, allowing for the expansion of equipment and train-ing activities. In 1969 the department pur-chased a King Seg-raves 6,259pm triple combination pumper.

In 1979 Golden pur-chased another new truck, a TCP pump-er with a pump cap-acity of 840 gpm. The volunteers, through various fund raising activities, were able

to purchase and add an equipment van to their fleet. This van was used to carry Turn-Out gear and other equipment to the Fire Scene. The next major addi-tion to the depart-ment equipment was a radio paging system

to provide immedi-ate call out of the vol-unteers who make up the current force.

During this time Chief Lloyd Shibley purchased another TCP pumper to add to the fleet.

In March 1996, the Golden Fire Fighters

met with Town Coun-cil to discuss the hir-ing of a paid fire chief for Golden. All the new standards, regu-lations, legislative rulings were reviewed at the same time. In April of 1996, Gold-en hired its first paid chief, Muir Furzer.

The fire hall pictured above was built about 1898. It sat at the north end of the Kicking Horse River bridge and served the community until 1921, when it burned to the ground. Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum

With the promise of more sizzling summer week-ends ahead, the BC Coroners Service is warning resi-dents and visitors to take extra care when enjoying water-based activities, be it at lakes, rivers, pools or the seashore. Recently coroners in B.C. have begun inves-tigations into four drowning deaths, reinforcing Cor-oners Service statistics that show a high percentage of

drownings in B.C. occur in the summer months of May through August.

The four deaths occurred in different parts of B.C. and encompass four entirely different sets of circum-stances - a three-year-old child in a backyard swim-ming pool, a teenager who slipped and fell while play-ing at the top of a waterfall, a middle-aged man tubing on a fast-running river and another man who died in a swimming incident in an Interior lake.

A review of drowning deaths over the past five years

shows that many victims are unfamiliar with the wat-ers involved and therefore don’t see the risk or under-estimate it. In a fast-flowing river, six inches of water can sweep a person downstream and two feet can carry away most vehicles.

The Coroners Service also stresses that alcohol and water-based activities don’t go together, any more than drinking and driving do. The review showed that fully 40 per cent of the victims were impaired by alco-hol or drugs.

Hard work pays off as Golden trails rise in popularityDarryl [email protected]

As the weather continues to warm up, more bicycle enthusiasts are coming to Golden to ride the trails.

Jon Simpson, owner of Derailed Sports and a member of the Golden Cycling Club, said that Golden is a great place for riders of all skill levels.

“The biking in Golden has a lot of different options for people. What people may not realize is that there are levels for everyone,” he said. “There are the Rotary Club trails that run along the river to the downhill trails at Mount 7 and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.”

Simpson said that the trails’ breakdown is 30 per cent green (beginner level), 60 per cent blue (intermediate level) and 10 per cent black (advanced).

“We also have a pump track and skateboard park that everyone seems to enjoy.”In 2011, The Golden Mountain Bike Visitor Survey was completed and identi-

fied the importance of the activity to the Golden area.“It was noticeable that mountain biking is becoming a strong part of our sum-

mer economy in Golden,” he said. “Our cross country and downhill trails are all volunteer driven. We have about 220 members in the Golden Cycling Club and are always in need of more people so we can have a strong voice with the govern-ment.”

Simpson also had advice for people who are planning on going out for a ride.“If someone is going to give biking a try they need to make sure they have a bike

repair kit including a patch kit, tube and pump. People also need to bring water and snacks along with a map of the area. It is important to plan your route ahead of time and take a cellphone with you. (It should be noted that cellphones may not work all the time when on the trails.)”

He added that taking a spare jacket, a first aid kit and possibly bear spray is also a good idea.

Simpson went on to explain that Golden is perfect for families who want to ride together.

“There are a lot of young families going riding. There are kids as young as three years old who go out and tackle some of the easier trails. It is a great sport for fam-ilies. There are some great trails around Cedar Lake with some easier loops, and you can stop at the beach and make an afternoon of it.”

At Derailed, Simpson works hard to provide service for anyone who walks through his door.

“A major part of our business is to make sure we can supply people who are vis-iting town with information, equipment and repairs they might need. We also supply the local people with quality repairs and service. They are both equally important.”

Some of the Golden Dolphins’ youngest swimmers were in the water last week testing just how far they can swim in an hour.

The Golden Dolphin’s Swimathon had swimmers, mostly ages six and under, seeing how many laps they could swim.

“It’s both a fundraiser, and a conditioning event. We sent out pledge forms, collecting donations for every lap they swim… So they’re all here to see how many laps they can swim within an hour,” said head coach Cynthia Pfeiffer.

“They’re doing really well right now.”In the past the club had a similar event, but

decided this was a more inclusive way to go.“This is the first year the Dolphins have done

it in a while. They used to just do the ‘mile swim.’ They try to swim 64 laps in an hour. But I think that got some young kids discourage because they weren’t making the 64 laps, so we changed it to see how many laps they can swim,” said Pfeiffer.

Later in the summer the junior and senior Dolphins will be participating in a mile swim of their own.

Outdoor yoga takes over Spirit Square for charity

Around 25 participants came out for the first session of outdoor yoga on July 7. The classes are being organized by yoga instructor Dalia Yanai. Jessica Schwitek/Star Photo


More than 25 participants, as well as the sunshine, came out to Spirit Square for the first outdoor yoga session of the summer. Dalia Yanai of Golden Lotus Ayurveda is hosting nine weeks of outdoor yoga in Spirit Square in support of the Golden Women’s Resource Centre.

“We did outdoor yoga a few years ago at the Clown Park. But I can’t say the turnout was quite this good,” said Yanai, look-ing out at the crowd filling out the tent in the square on Sun-day July 7.

This time around she chose a different location.“I love the Spirit Square. It’s beautiful and central,” she said.

It also has a tent to help with unfavourable weather, and a much easier surface to work with.

The sessions will run until the end of summer, with the last one occurring on the last Sunday of August. It is drop in every week by donation to the women’s centre. Yanai was given a permit from the Town free of charge because she is not charging a rate.

“We’re just doing simple yoga here,” said Yanai. “There’s so many different people, you never know who’s going to show up. So we’re keeping it pretty easy, something to suit everybody.”

Yoga sessions are every Sunday from 11 a.m. to noon, you just have to bring your own mat.
